Mrs. MARTHA BELL, of Pitt. street, in this Town, had been for a considerable time labouring under nervous debility, loss of appetite, and general ill health, occasioned by ulcerated wounds in the breast. She had much experience in the use of all the known remedies for the cure of ulcers, but without any beneficial result, in fact she had nearly lost all faith and hope of a cure being effected. In this distressing and painful condition of body and mind, she was persuaded to have re- course to your invaluable Ointment and Pills, which she immediately did, and in the course of a very short time the effect produced was most astonishing; her appetite was speedily improved the sores and ulcers in the breast gradually healed, and the nervous excitement of her system was wholly removed.—l remain, Dear Sir, yours faithfully. (Signed) T. FORSTER KER. The Pills should be used conjointly with the Ointment, in most of the following cases : Bad Legs Corns (Soft) Scalds Bad Breasts Cancers [Joints Sore Nipples Burns Contracted and Stiff Sore Throats Bunions Elephantiasis Skin Diseases Bite of Moschetoes Fistulas Scurvy and Sand Flies Gout Sore Heads Coco Bay Glandular Swellings Tumours Chiego foot Lumbago Ulcers Chilblains Piles Wounds Chapped Hands Rheumatism Yaws Sold at the Establishment of Professor FlotLowAy, 224, Strand, (near Temple Bar,) London, and by all respectable Druzgists and Dealers in Medicines throughout the Civilized World, in Pots, at Is. 14d., 2s. 9d.,45. 6d.,'1 is., 225., and 335. each.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE FRANCE.—it is stated on good authority, that the French Legislative Corps will be soon convoked, and that a proposition will be submitted to it for rais- ing a loan of £20,000,000, and levying 200,000 men. The Paris journals take generally a cheerful view of the prospects of the allies in the Crimea. In con- sequence of the number of gunboats ordered by Go- vernment at Havre, the Minister of Marine has autho- rised Mr. Normand, the contractor, to retain in his dockyard all the workmen included in the last levy of carpenters. A number of floating batteries are in progress of construction at Brest. About 20,000 kilogrammes of iron plates, intended for those batteries, have already ar- rived there, and more are expected shortly. Count de Saint-Aulaire, formerly French Ambassador at London, died on Monday, last week, at his hotel, 61, Rue Saint- Dominique-Saint-Germain. The deceased had attained the age of 77. SPAIN.—The Madrid journals of the 9th are chiefly occupied with accounts of the opening of the Cortes on the preceding day. All agree in stating that the Queen was received with great enthusiasm, not only by the crowds in the streets, but by the occupants of the tribunes of the Chambers. The troops and the National Guard, 20,000 or 22,000 in number, after the Queen's return to the palace, filed off before her. The Madrid journals state that a band of Carlist insurgents had appeared in the environs of Astorga, near Leon. At Barcelona twelve battalions of National Guards have been organised ; one of them is of engineers, the other of artillery. limannst.—The Minister of the Interior has laid before the Chamber of Representatives a bill authorising the continued and free importation of corn, and prohibiting till the 15th of July next the exportation of potatoes and vegetables; also another bill permitting the free importa- tion of cows and , pigs, and a third one reducing the drawback on the exportation of Belgian liquors. ITALY.—Dr. Wiseman arrived at Rome on Saturday, the 4th instant. The Pope has provided Dr. Wiseman with apartments in the Palace of the Consulta, the resi- dence of the Cardinal Secretary of Briefs. A great num- ber of bishops have already arrived in Rome, from Eng- land, Ireland, America, Spain, Germany, Hungary, and other parts. Dr. Wilale is among the number of leading ecclesiastics. This numerous force of prelates has been drawn together, by an encyclical invitation, for the pur- pose of finally settling the question of the immaculate conception. It is rumoured that Cardinal Wiseman, as the most learned member of the Sacred College since the death of Cardinal Mai; will most probably succeed to the office of Vatican Librarian, if such should be found com- patible with his occupations elsewhere. The final extir- pation of paper money in the Pontifical State is being carried out with the utmost rigour. Only a few five- dollar notes remain in circulation, and the Government, resolved to get rid of the premium on silver, by a coup de main only practicable in a country like this, sent round the police to close the money-changers' shops and turn out their owners. THE BALTlC.—Petersburg letters, received in Memel, desire that goods to be shipped at the latter port for Petersburg account shall not be entrusted to English vessels any longer, it being apprehended that, now that there are so few English men-of-war _cruising in the Baltic, the Russians will come out of their ports and sweep the English flag from those waters. AusTroms.—The Aberdeen clipper Ballarat, Captain Jones, which left Port Philip on the 23d of August, was off Plymouth on Friday night, and landed a mail, consisting of nineteen cases and eight• bags, containing above 25,000 and under 40,000 letters. The Ballarat had 50,000 ounces of gold and 20,000 sovereigns. She had half a cargo of wool, tallow, and transhipped pepper. Six passengers, out of thirty, landed at Plymouth. The Ballarat would have sailed several days earlier, but was detained to bring re- plies to the correspondence conveyed by the screw steamer Great Britain, which arrived on 17th August, and was placed under quarantine, having small-pox on board, from which some of the passengers had died. Passengers by the Ballarat report the state of affairs at Port Philip as very unfavourable. Not much shipping in the harbour, but plenty of officers and men. Seamen's wages to London, £3O; to Calcutta, £2O: to Callao, £6 per month; coasting, £5 to £7. Labourers' wages, 9s. per day. The stores on shore were overstocked, and many large houses were falling. Gold, £4 2s. 6d. per oz. ; bread, 41b. loaf, Is. 10d.; beef, for shipping, Bd. to 9d. ; for house consumption, ls. to ls. 2d. The Ballarat spoke, in long. 25 west, lat. 19 south, the barque Melbourne, of Dundee, from Callao to Valencia. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE NIAGARA, By the British and North American Royal Mail steam- ship, Niagara, Captain Shannon, which arrived on Satur- day, we have intelligence from New rork to the 7ht, and Boston to the Sth instant; and by telegraph, via Halifax, from New York, to the 10th instant. The Niagara left Boston at 10, p.m., on the Bth, and ar- rived at Halifax at 9.40, p.m., on the 9th, whence she sailed again at midnight, and arrived in the river at 9.30, p.m., on Saturday, after a capital run of only ten days four hours. The America, for Boston, was passed on the 9th, at 9.20, p.m, ; and the Africa, for New York, at 3 p.m., on Saturday. The Niagara brought seventy-eight passengers and $386,256 in specie. The Royal Mail steam-ship Arabia, Commodore Jud- kins, arrived at New York, hence, onthe 3rd inst., having experienced very boisterous weather on the passage. • The screw steam-ship the City of Manchester, Captain Wylie, arrived at Philadelphia on the 6th instant. The screw steam-ship Sarah Sands left Portland on the 6th instant, for this port. A new iron steamer, called Her Majesty, which left the Clyde for Quebec, had been at sea about ninety days, and all hopes for her safety had been given up. She was built by Mr. Denny, for the route between Toronto and Niagara, and was 400 tons burthen. Telegraphic dispatches from Washington state that the United States Government would shortly issue a treaty circular providing for the admission of the produce of Canada, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island, on the same terms as recently established respecting colonial fish. The provinces of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island would shortly adopt measures for carrying out the treaty. An official proclamation had been issued confirming the convention entered into between the United States and Russia, establishing the rights of neutrals at sea. The convention provides that free ships make free goods, and that the property of neutrals on board enemy's vessels is exempt from confiscation, unless contraband of war. Messrs. J. A. Westervelt and Co., shipbuilders, had been obliged to make an assignment. They owe about $275,000, and show a nominal surplus of 150,000. A disastrous accident had occurred on the Rock Island Railroad, near Minooka. Numerous persons lost their lives, and a large number were severely scalded. The yellow fever continued to prevail at New Orleans. Amongst the victims was the Lieut.-Governor. At Mont- gomery, Alabama, it had entirely disappeared ; and at Charleston and Savannah the authorities had notified that the fever had ceased as an epidemic. At the United States Circuit Court a trial was proceed- ing against Captain James Smith, of the Julia Moulton, on the charge of having confined and detained five hundred negroes, for the purpose of making slaves of them. At the request of Mr. Collins, the carrying capacity of the boats of the Arctic, taken into Philadelphia by the Osprey, had been tested, by their being rowed about for half-an-hour, with fifty-seven persons, chiefly sea captains, in each. The bulwarks were sixteen inches out of the water, and there was no doubt amongst the nautical men that they could carry sixty persons with safety. Mr. Collins had ordered five additional metallic lifeboats for the Collins' steamers. An experiment had shown that one of these boats was capable of carrying fifty-seven full- grown persons. _ _ _ _ _ It was expected that Sir Edmund Head would leave Boston for Canada on the 7th, to assume the post of Governor-General, and that Lord Elgin would shortly sail for England, first visiting New York and Washington. The Reciprocity Bill passed the New Brunswick House of Parliament by a majority of fifteen. The new Ministry had been named. A break, which it would take three days to repair, had occurred in the Erie Canal. The Bath Mirror states that in that district, since the Ist of January, ninety-eight vessels have been launched, whose aggregate tonnage is 77,697 tons, an increase of tonnage over 1853, of 28,198.

With reference to the rumour which we rate; tioned last week of the Commissioners for R eduction of the National Debt taking £2,oooany of Exchequer Bonds, it is now said that 21,60°,7y of the Bonds have been taken up alread,l the public, leaving only £400,000 for the Lie missioners. There have been several arrivals of gold during, the week. The Golden Era, £200,000 ; the gern maid, £BO,OOO ; and the Ballarat, £22o,ooTh,ad from Australia. The total imports are toestima'e, at £650,000, and the exports at £400,0 the I £500.000 A statement of the affairs of Messrs. Allen Anderson, of London, shows liabilities to the or 00° tent of £273,000, and assets only £79,'3 about ss. to ss. 6d. in the pound. There '-ut claim on the estate of M'Henry and Co., of above £173,000 ; and it is now said, though Nvf.,llll not with what foundation, that the latter will °a pay about 2s. 6d. Much will, of course, de,P7c, upon the realization of the estate of Mr. D' Oliver,' of which M'Henry and Co. are lard creditors. Nearly eighty ships are advertised ot, sale on the 7th of next month, and as the aen ances of Mr. Oliver will be taken in payillen'rhr their full nominal value, they will, no doubt, fe'e t of I good price Throughout the manufacturing districts therae seems to be a general complaint of inactivity 3,1 L, receding prices. At Manchester there is an position to give orders, and what business is d° of is at reduced rates, with the exception, perban goods for the Mediterranean trade. In the W°!:'+epr trade, transactions are very limited, though Will goods are becoming more in demand, vilith°ll..r however, any improvement in value.

" GENERAL ORDER " HEAD-QUARTERS BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, ' 27th OCTOBER, 1854. .4 The Commander of the Forces has much pleasure in ",blishing the copy of a despatch received from the Mi- -4111 ter of War, conveying Her Majesty's gracious approba- rO2f the gallant conduct of the army at the battle of Lord Raglan feels it to be his duty to draw the atten- inof the troops to the sorrow her Majesty expresses for Closs of so many valuable officers and men, as well as of manner in which Her Majesty is pleased to Dathise in the sufferings of the wounded, and in the ef of those whose relatives fell upon this occasion. " WAR DEPARTMENT, OCT. 10, 1854. ip 043, Lord,—Major Lord Burghersh arrived here early 9oh,l'e,Thorning of the Bth instant, and delivered to me tlbT."ordship's despatch of the 23d ult., communicating ti,t.'ietails of the glorious and important victory on the 41," of the Alma, which your telegraphic despatch, re- b,ll,..ed on the Ist of this month, had already led me to lost no time in submitting to Her Majesty your tolirill's able and interesting description of this great N'lct, and it is now my gratifying duty to express to vkit lordship the sense which the Queen entertains of the kliphle service which you have rendered to this country, *hi to the cause of the Allies, and the high approbation l.cell Her Majestyhas been pleased to express of the thillant eir gallantry of the forces - your command, .iscipline—worthy of veter -and thei, tozstable resolution which no dis (.4,„sbdue. e Queen commands me t( Li hip Her Majesty's comment (11,6:-General Sir George Bra kiel°,llB, and to all the officers Vil„trza.tes of the army, wl" att`r; the recollection of 1,.g1"3.14;1-d(1 idedfreh ' ht .

The Commander of the Forces feels deeply indebted to Major-General Sir Colin Campbell for his able and perse- vering exertions in the action in front of Balaklava on the 21st inst., and he has great pleasure in publishing to the army the brilliant manner in which the 93rd Highlanders, under his able direction, repulsed the enemy's cavalry- The major-general had such confidence in this distin. guished regiment that he was satisfied that it should re- ceive the charge in line ; and the result proved that his confidence was not misplaced. The Commander of the Forces considers it his duty to notice the brilliant conduct of the division of cavalry under the command of Lieutenant-General the Earl of Lucan, in the action of the 25th instant. He 'congratu- lates Brigadier-General the Hon. J. Y. Scarlett, and the officers and men of the heavy brigade, upon their success- ful charge and repulse of the Russian cavalry, in far greater force than themselves ; and while he condoles with Major-General the Earl of Cardigan, and the officers and men of the light brigade, on the heavy loss it sus- tained, he feels it to be due to them to place on record the gallantry they displayed, and the coolness and perseverance with which they executed one of the most arduous attacks that was ever witnessed, under the heaviest fire, and in the face of powerful bodies of artillery, cavalry, and infantry. The Commander of the Forces has the greatest satis- faction in thanking Lieutenant-General Sir De Lacy Evans, and the officers and men of the second division, for the gallant and energetic manlier in which they repulsed the powerful sortie made upon this position on the 26th inst. The conduct of all engaged was admirable ; and the arrangements of the lieutenant-general were so able and effective as at once to ensure success and inflict a heavy loss upon the enemy. The. folloviing despatch describes a piece of truly sea- manlike courage on the part of an acting mate of the Beagle : " Britannia, off the Katcha, Nov. 1, 1854. " Sir,—l have much pleasure in transmitting, for the information and favourable consideration of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, the accompanying extract of a letter I have received from Captain Lnshington, in com- mand of the Naval Brigade, employed in the siege opera- tions before Sebastopol. "2. Mr. Hewett, of whom Captain Lnshington reports so highly, has been actively serving on shore since the 4th of October, with the guns, &c., landed from the Beagle. "1 have the honour to be. Sir, " Your obedient servant, J. W. D. DIINDAS, Vice-Admiral. " The Secretary of the Admiralty." ADMIRALTY, Nov, 17, 1854. As a mark of their approbation of the gallant conduct of Mr. Hewett, the Lords of the Admiralty have promoted that officer to the rank of lieutenant, dating his commis- sion the tlay on which he showed so worthy an example. Extract of a letter from Captain Lushington to Vice-Ad- miral J. W. Dundas, dated Head-quarters, Naval Brigade, Oct. 28:— " I beg to call your attention to the spirited conduct of Mr. Hewett, the mate of the Beagle, in charge of the right Lancaster battery, now containing one gun. On the 26th instant, the Russians made a sortie in force— about 8,000 men, on our right, placing our Lancaster gun in jeopardy ; indeed, some skirmishers approached within 300 yards of it, pouring in a sharp fire of Minie rifles. Some mistake occurred in the orders of the officer com- manding the picquet, and the word was passed to spike the gun and retreat, but Hewett replied, ' That such an order did not come from Captain Lushington, and he would not do so till it did.' (He was aware I was in the vicinity.) He then pulled down the parapet, and with the assistance of some soldiers got his gun round, and poured a most destructive fire of grape into a large column of Russians, and on their retreating from the British troops followed them down the hill with solid 68 lb. shot, fired with fatal precision. I am happy to say there were no casualties among the sailors, and report says only 71 among the troops. The Russian loss was very severe, as we saw the bodies lying on the hill, but I am not in a position to give you an authentic account." GREAT BATTLE BEFORE SEBASTOPOL. (From a London Gazette Extraordinary of Thursday.) Portman-square, November 16, 1854. 12.30 a.m. The Duke of Newcastle has to-night received a tele- graphic despatch, of which the following is a translation, from General Lord Raglan, G.C.B. The despatch was delayed between Bucharest and Vienna by an interruption of the telegraph from injuries received during a violent storm. TRANSLATION OF 1 TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCH RECEIVED BY THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE ON 16TH NOVEMBER, 12.30 A.M., FROM LORD RAGLAN. " November 6,185 t. " The enemy, with immense forces, attacked, yesterday, in the dawn of morning, the right of the English position before Sebastopol, which was defended by the 2nd Division and the Brigade of Guards of the first Light Division, the 4th Division, and part of the 3rd, and subsequently by the division of General Bosquet, and other corps of the French army, which, by their gallant conduct, contributed essentially to the decided success of the day. "General Canrobert immediately came to the spot, and gave in the support of his assistance, and of his excellent counsel. " The battle was extremely obstinate, and it was not till past noon that the enemy was definitively repulsed and forced to retreat, leaving the field of battle covered with his dead and several hundred of prisoners. " The number of the enemy much exceeded that which was opposed to us at Alma, and the losses of the Russians have been enormous : our losses have also been very great. " General Sir George Brown, 'Major-General Bentinck, Brigadier-Generals Adams, Buller, and Torrens have been wounded. They are all doing well. " The conduct of the troops, in the face of an enemy so superior in numbers, has been excellent. " RAGLAN." Received at Bucharest, Friday, the 10th November, at p.m., and forwarded to Kronstadt at 6 p.m. THE BRITISH AGENT. RUSSIAN ACCOUNT, The following is a written despatch which was handed about at the Paris Bourse, as having been sent by Prince Paskiewitsch, under the date of Nov. 6:— " You will find enclosed a despatch which the grand dukes have written to their august father. The arrival of their imperial highnesses excited in the army and in the town the greatest enthusiasm, and the princes were received with hurras and transports of delight. The troops would have been delighted had the princes wit- nessed our success of the day before, and the garrison of the town testified its impatience to welcome their high- nesses by a new exploit. " In the afternoon a column, consisting of 16 battalions, marched resolutely on the right wing of the enemy, and seized a redoubt. After a furious contest hand to hand, our battalions returned to the town without being disgusted. • .. a rapid movemen of the enemy. Thi having killed the g The following additional details of the attack upon the English lines on the sth inst., which is known to us hitherto only by the despatches of General Canrobert and Lord Raglan, are forwarded by special telegraphic des- patch, via Varna, from Constantinople, dated the 9th instant : VIENNA, FRIDAY, HALF-PAST 1, P.3l.—A fierce battle was fought before Sebastopol on the sth. The Russian troops, newly-arrived from Perekop, attacked the English position. After a battle which lasted seven hours, the Russians were repulsed with a loss of 8,000 men. The English lost 102 officers and 2,500 men, and the French 48 officers and 1,300 men, killed and wounded. Three English generals were killed—General Cathcart, and Brigadier-Generals Goldie and Strangways. Five were wounded—Generals Adams, Bentinck, Buller, Torrens, and Sir George Brown. General Canrobert is also wounded. The British Guards suffered severely. On the 6th and 7th the allies were fortifying their positions. PARIS, FRIDAY. The Moniteur publishes the fol- lowing :—" Vienna, Nov. 16.—A telegraphic despatch from a Russian source, dated Odessa, November 11, announces that no events of importance had taken place before Sebastopol on the 6th, 7th, or Bth. The Russians were occupied in repairing the damage done to the fortifi- cations. On the 6th the allies were actively pursuing their siege operations. The situation of the besiegers on the Bth was evidently a good one. The action of the sth had produced its effects." The French brigade under General Mayran has left Athens for the Crimea. • The Moniteur states that a sixth company of the 3rd battalion is to be immediately added to 100 regiments of the line. According to advices from Constantinople of the sth, 5,000 French troops had left for the Crimea. There was-. no recent intelligence from the army in Asia. 4,000 Tu- nisians had embarked at Batoum for the Crimea. VIENNA, FRIDAY EVENlNG.—Suleiman Pasha, who commanded the Turkish troops in the Crimea, has been degraded by the Sultan. The Charlemagne, Napoleon, and Jena returned to Constantinople on the sth. The frigate Egyptienne was wrecked at the entrance to the Bosphorus. Prince Napoleon, who is suffering from dysentery, has returned to Constantinople. The horses of the allies in the Crimea have suffered so much from want of water that it is doubtful whether powerful cavalry reinforcements ought to be sent there. The Egyptian ship Abadid Schibad is said to have gone down, with the admiral and 700 men on board. Steamers have been sent to fetch 4,000 men of the garrison of Tchuruksu to Sebas- topol. The Russians have retired from the neighbour- hood of Balaklava to wait for reinforcements. Up to the 7th there had been little rain at Balaklava.

TRADE AND MARKETS. MANUFACTURES MANCHESTER—Not the slightest improvement in this market ; on the contrary, a still greater degree of depression and. stagnation is apparent. Prices are natu- rally effected by this continued and increased dulness, and, with very few exceptions, a further downward tendency prevails. The foreign houses are buying very little yarn. For India and China there is little or no demand, whilst the continental buyers are no better. Prices are lower and very irregular, the only exception being that yarns for the Mediterranean and Levant markets are still in re- quest, and these firmly maintain their former value: As regards the home demand, manufacturers restrict their purchases within the narrowest limits—the fact that both cop yarns and warps are obtainable at reduced prices, being no inducement. For goods the demand seems al- most to have died out, so exceedingly small has the in- quiry become. Long cloths, T cloths and domestics continue to be relatively the most in demand, although these are less inquired for. India shirtings have reached a ruinously low price, whilst other fabrics for the same quarter are but little better. ROCHDALE.—The flannel market has been a little quieter, and the demand for goods not so brisk ; but there has been little or no change in prices. The wool market is steady, with a tendency rather in favour of the buyer. HUDDERSFIELD.—The market continues very flat. There appears to have been even less doing than usual, and complaints are general. LEEDS.—The business done at the Cloth Halls during the week has been of a very limited character, being merely confined to purchases to assort the stocks, and the markets consequently ruled dull. Prices are without alteration, and the stocks quite as light as usual at this season. The mills continue in active operation. There have been very few buyers in the town this week, and those who have made their appearance have bought sparingly. The business done in the warehouses has, in censequgnce, been below an average amount. BRADFORD.—WooI The transactions in wool are very limited ; lower prices are now submitted to, without having the effect of inducing more extended operations. Noils and brokes are much sought up, owing to the re- diced quantity now making.—Yarns : No, alteration in this market ; it continues as gloomy as ever, and further curtailment of production is resorted to.—Pieces : In heavy goods, suitable for winter wear, there has been more doing, but at prices at which they cannot be. replaced. No alteration in any other class of goods, and manufacturers are generally running daylight. LEICESTER.—The quite state of trade has become more general, and little is doing except for the small orders which keep arriving for sorting up stock. Price of material keeps firm, and only a moderate supply is in the market. NOTTINGHAM.—The instability of the money market in almost all parts of the world with which we have com- mercial transactions appears at this time unprecedented, yet the general trade of thii town is as good as might be expected. There is no probability of a change of price taking place in yarn for either lace or hosiery purposes. Certain large lots may be sold at less than last prices, depending, of course, upon the necessity of vendors but there is little reason for apprehending `any general reduc- tion in price for the present.

Ano- ther point of interest insisted on in the report was the fact, that 24 ships had been supplied with religious libra- ries, consisting each of 600 volumes. Some of these libraries had been returned to the society, after having gated the globe. Besides the libraries referred qrt also stated that 50,000 copies of the publi- cations, issued by the Religious Tract Society, had been -'elated by this society among sailors, flatmen, and dock The labours of the society had been carried on partly by a paid and partly gratuitous agency. The report expressed regret that the expenditure of the year had exceeded that of the preceding year by £2O, not- withstanding which the debt had been reduced rather . . circumnav to, the r 5 Porters, than increased. The operations of the society had, the report represented, been considerably limited, as its accommodation had been too•confined, and its means too mint_ to meet the reanirements of the case or the wishes ,eulties several of the committee. To obviate these d plans had been under consideration, embracing the erec- tion of two places of worship, but this had been frustrated by the great expense of the ground requisite for building on. Inquiry, however., had been made, and it had been found that moveable iron chapels conid be constructed at an expense of about £1 for each sitting, or about £2OO each for two chapels capable of accommodating 200 in- dividuals each, without incurring the enormous outlay for building land ; and two of these had accordingly been ordered, one for the south and one for the north. In accordance with the extended field of the society's opera- tions, it had been resolved to change, or rather to alter, the name of the society, to " The Liverpool Sea- men and Emigrants' Friend Society and Bethel Union. From the treasurer's statement of accounts it appeared that the income of the society for the Tear amounted to £712. 12s. 10d., and the expenditure to £519. Bs. 2d. On the motion of the Rev. H. Stowell Brown, the report was adopted, and ordered to be printed and circulated.

They have on them the following inscription in Russian St. PetersburgloBll," and "St. Petersburgh, J 807." The carriages present nothing worth notice. These guns are intended for the Marine Museum. EXPULSION OP THE JESUITS PROM SPAIN.—The go- vernment has ordered the Jesuits, 80 in number, who are established at Loyola, in the Basque Provinces, to proceed immediately to Malorca. They, however, refuse to obey, on the pretext that nothing is prepared for such ajourncy. If they resist they will be expelled by force, and all the ministers will approve of such a measure. The reason of their expulsion is that they have made themselves the most etive agents in Carlist conspiracies. NEW PLANETS Two new planets have been discovere it Paris ; one by M. Goldschmidt, a private gentleman, in the.night of the 27th ult. ; the other by M. 'Chaeornae, •of the Imperial Observatory, in the night of the 28th ult. The former, which is like a star of the 10th and 11th mag- nitude, has received -the name of Pomona; the latter, which appears of the 9th or 10th magnitude, that of Polymnia. . . ------ DISCOVERY or A. STALACTITE CAVE.—At a spot near to Oytermouth Castle, in Swansea Bay, is a small lime- stone quarry and kiln, occupied by a man named Joseph Davis. In excavating the rock, the occupier came upon ta crevice, which shortly widened into a cave, and, on entering it, it was found to be beautifully ornamented with stalactites banging from the roof and sides. The cave is sufficiently large for a person to enter it and pass to the end ; but it is thought to extend further than the discoveries which have been hitherto made. BRITISII GOLD.—An Englishman and a Prussian got into a quarrel at the gaming-table, which ended in a chal- lenge from one of the parties, and an arrangement for a duel to come o' next morning ; arms chosen, pistols ; dis- tance, ten paces. Arrived on the ground, lots were drawn for the first fire, which the Englishman won, and missed his antagonist. The Prussian made ready to return the shot, but at the moment when he levelled his weapon— " Stop, stop !" cried the Englishman, " I'll buy your shot!: At the strange proposal the Prussian adversary was far a moment fixed in astonishment, but on reflection concluded that the "little affair " might be so arranged. The Englishman was rich—the Prussian a dead shot, so the chonce•was valued at 25,000 francs, which John Bull paid down with great good humour, and a .moment after- wards, seller and buyer retraced their steps to town, mutually charmed with the little adventure. EXTRiOnDINA.BY PROJECTILES.—We read in a com- munication from Marseilles as follows: —On Friday the Byzantine took' on board, in addition to troops, 3,000,000 of ball cartridges and 20 chests of a projectile lately in- vented at Metz, and which produces an immense effect at the enormous distance of 7,200 yards. They arrived at Marseilles -under charge of an officer of artillery from Metz, who will make a trial of them against the Russians at Sebastopol, • should that fortress hold out until their arrival. The officer who invented these rockets was not aware of the great effect until they were tried in presence of a military commission appointed for that purpose. When the Emperor was informed of the new invention, he com- manded that a considerable quantity should be manufac- tured for the siege of Sebastopol; but it appears that there is a certain difficulty in preparing them, and that, even when all hands in the laboratory at Metz were em- ployed night and Ilan they could only produce forty in the twenty-four hours. THE TIMBER TRADE AND THE WAE.—Timber-laden ,ships from Quebec and other ports of our North-American colonies continue to arrive in the river Thames and dis- charge in the various docks, contrary to the notices which were issued by the .dock companies a few weeks since, stating that on account of the excessively crowded state of the docks no timber-Wen ships would be admitted. The quays of some of the docks are now so crowded with timber and deals as to occasion the utmost inconvenience and danger to those connected with shipping. Our large timber merchants and builders, speculating for a fall in the price of timber, have not as yet availed themselves of the over- stocked market, and as it is known that a number of ships are now on their passage to England, freighted with Nort- h timber, the docks, in all probability, will be encumbered for some time with it, unless its consignees clear their cargoes at builders' and timber merchants' own terms. The cause of this influx is strangely brought about by the war : it appears that so many of oar English ships have been taken up by Government, and the requirements of the public service call for still further tonnage, for the transport of troops and stores to the East, as to cause a scarcity of English ships for emigration and mercantile purposes, the result of which is that London freights are inordinately high, and charterers, in many instances, have had to defer exporting heavy cargoes. The deal season being over in America caused an excess of tonnage there, and North-American shipowners, finding there was a deficiency of ships here, despatched their:idle craft to the London and Liverpool freight-market ; bat, not wishing to sail with empty bottoms, no cargo was more ready to hand than their native timber, and henee so many ships freighted with it to the port of London.— The Builder. NOVEL USE OF INDIA. RIIBBER.—On Saturday last, Mrs. Zilpah Robinson presented herself between the castle gates for admittance, on the pretence of paying a visit to her husband, at present imprisoned therein for debt. Whether her increased matron-like appearance, or the keen scent of an old teetotal turnkey, was the reason why such a step was taken, did not appear in the evidence sub- sequently taken, but a message was immediately sent for a female monitor to come and subject Mrs. Robinson to strict search. In spite of her indignant refusal, a search was made, when, beneath the bosom of her dress was found one of Charles Macintosh's patent air cushions, filled with rum. Any one acquainted with these articles so extensively used by travellers in second-class carriages, will knotty that at one corner of them is affixed a little screw tap, by which means the air is furred in or expelled. The tap, in the present instance, was so situated, that if Mrs. Robinson had taken a little child and held it to her bosom, it would have been difficult to tell whether it was rum or milk However, none of the inc inhabitants of John o'Gaunt's old palace, who resort to every expedient to "drive dull care away," were destined to partake of the nourishing stream which, without the smallest attempt at sentimentalism, might be said to flow from Mrs. Robinson's generous bosom. A statement of the circumstances was laid before E. G. Hornby, Esq.. who ordered Mrs. Zilpah Robinson to pay a fine of £lO, or be imprisoned six weeks. The money was not forth- coming, so she was committed to "durance vile," and Chas. Macintosh's patent air cushion, " specially designed for use in second-class carriages," together with the rum it contained at the time of seizure, is hung up among the curiosities of the Gateway Tower of Her Majesty's gaol, the Castle of Lancaster.--Lancaster Gazette,

GENERAL ORDERS. The Commander of the Forces feels deeply indebted to Major-General Sir Colin Campbell for his able and perse- vering exertions in the action in front of Balaklava on the 21st inst., and he has great pleasure in publishing to the army the brilliant manner in which the 93rd Highlanders, under his able direction, repulsed the enemy's cavalry- The major-general had such confidence in this distin. guished regiment that he was satisfied that it should re- ceive the charge in line ; and the result -proved that his confidence was not misplaced. The Commander of the Forces considers it his duty to notice the brilliant conduct of the division of cavalry under the command of Lieutenant-General the Earl of Lucan, in the action of the 25th instant. He congratu- lates Brigadier-General the Hon. J. Y. Scarlett, and the officers and men of the heavy brigade, upon their success- ful charge and repulse of the Russian cavalry, in far greater force than themselves ; and while he condoles with Major-General the Earl of Cardigan, and the officers and men of the light brigade, on the heavy loss it sus- tained, he feels it to be due to them to place on record the gallantry they displayed, and the.coolness and perseverance with which they executed one of the most arduous attacks that was ever witnessed, under 'the heaviest fire, and in the face of powerful bodies of artillery, cavalry, and infantry. - - The Commander of the Forces has the greatest satis- faction in thanking Lieutenant-General Sir De, Lacy Evans, and the officers and men of the second division, for the gallant and energetic manner in which they repulsed the powerful sortie made upon this position on the 26th inst. The conduct of all engaged was admirable; and the arrangements of the lieutenant-general were so able and effective as at once to ensure success and inflict a heavy loss upon the enemy. The following despatch describes a piece of truly sea- manlike courage on the part of an acting mate of the Beagle : "Britannia, off the Katcha, Nov. 1, 1554. " Sir,—l have much pleasure in transmitting, for the information and favourable consideration of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, the accompanyingtxtract of a letter I have received from Captain Lushington, in com- mand of the Naval 'Brigade, employed in the siege opera- tions before Sebastopol.

Nov. 17, 1854 As a mark of their approbation of the gallant conduct of Mr. Hewett, the Lords of the Admiralty have promoted that officer to the rank of lieutenant, dating his commis- sion the day on Which he showed so worthy an example. Extract of a letter from Captain Lushington to Vice-Ad- miral J. W. Dundas, dated Head-quarters, Naval Brigade, Oct. 28:— " I beg to call your attention to the spirited conduct of Mr. Hewett, the mate of the Beagle, in,tharge of the right Lancaster 'battery, now containing one gun. On the 26th instant, the Russians made a sortie in force— about 8,000 men, on our right, placing our Lancaster gun in jeopardy ; indeed, some skirmishers approached within 300 yards of it, pouring in a sharp fire of Minie rifles. Some mistake occurred in the orders of the officer com- manding the riequet, and the word was passed to spike the gun and retreat,hut Hewett replied, That such an order did not come from Captain Lushington, and'he would not do so till it did.' - (He was aware I was in'the vicinity.) He then pulled down the parapet, and with4he assistance of some soldiers got his gun round, and poured a most destructive fire of grape into a large column 'of Russians, and on their retreating from the British•treops followed them down the hill with solid 68 lb. shot, fired with fatal precision. I am happy to say there were no casualties among the sailors, and report says only 11 among the troops. The Russian loss was very severe, as we saw the bodies lying on the hill, but I am not in a poSition to give you an authentic account." GREAT BATTLE BEFORE SEBASTOPOL. (From a London Gazette Extraordinary of Thursday.) Portman-square, November 16, 1854. 12.30 a.m. The Duke of Newcastle has to-night received .a tele- graphic despatch, of which the following is a translation, from General Lord Raglan, G.C.B. The .despatch was delayed between Bucharest and Vienna by an interruption of the telegraph from injuries received during a violent 'storm. TRANSLATION OF A TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCH RECEIVED BY THE DIIICE OF NEWCASTLE ON 16TH NOVEMBER, 12.30 A.M., FROM LORD RAGLAN. " November 6, Mt " The enemy, with immense forces, attacked, yesterday, in the dawn of morning, the right of the English position before Sebastopol, which was defended by the 2nd Division and the Brigade of Guards of the first Light Division, the 4th Division, and part of the 3rd, and subsequently by the division of General Bosquet, and other corps of the French army, which, by their gallant conduct, contributed essentially to the decided sv.ocess of the day. "General Canrobert immediately came to the spot, and gave in the support of his assistance, and of his excellent counsel. " The battle was extremely obstinate, and it was not till past noon that the enemy was definitively repulsed and forced to retreat, leaving the field of battle covered with his dead and several hundred of prisoners. " The number of the enemy much exceeded that which was opposed to us at Alma, and the losses of the Russians have been enormous : our losses have also been very great. " General Sir George Brown, Major-General Bentinck, Brigadier-Generals Adams, Buller, and Torrens have been wounded. They are all doing well. " The conduct of the troops, iu the face of an enemy so superior in numbers, has been excellent. " RAGLAN." Received at Bucharest, Friday, the 10th November, at p.m., and forwarded to Kronstadt at 6 p.m. THE Buinsu AGENT. RUSSIAN ACCOUNT. The following is a written despatch which was handed about at the Paris Bourse, as having been sent by Prince Paskiewitsch, under the date of Nov. 6:— "You will find enclosed a despatch which the grand dukes have written to their august father. The arrival of their imperial highnesses excited in the army and in the town the greatest enthusiasm, and the prinees were received with hurras and transports of delight. The troops would have been delighted had the princes wit tressed our success of the day before, and the ga the town testified its impatience to welcome the ison of nesses by a new exploit. " In the afternoon a column, consisting of 16 battalions, marched resolutely on the right wing of the enemy, an works of t 1g killed the g :er part of the anend to the combat " In our share of tne says proceecungs 22,000 men were engaged on both sides. The losses have been great ; ours has been about 4,000 men, and that bf. the enemy at least as great. . . . "This sanguinary affair has been only one of those accidents which occur so frequently in war. Had our forces been concentrated, we should, without doubt, have reduced the enemy to the utmost extremities. We are now getting all our reserves up from Simferopol, Bakschi- Serai, and Sutachiva. We are about to resolutely assume the offensive, and we shall not allow one day's repose to the enemy. Their forces are diminishing visibly. The partial reinforcements which they successively have received have not been sufficient to fill up the voids which war and malady have made in their ranks. Their number at present cannot be more than 50,000 men. This army cannot escape us ; we have for us the moral ascendancy and a great superiority in numbers. We are on our own ground, and we are fighting at the same time for our soil, and for the most holy of causes." A Russian despatch gives news from Sebastopol to the Sth instant, from which it results that, notwithstanding all the efforts of the enemy, the siege operations continued and were extended. The French were entrenching on their left. Nothing had occurred since the sth to furnish matter for a Russian bulletin. The French papers publish telegraphic news from Mar- seilles, brought there by the Sinai from Constantinople. The most important is, however, the fact, that General Mayran's brigade, from Greece, and 2,000 Zouaves from Africa, both corps destined for the Crimea, had been met at sea, and according to all probability would have joined General Canrobert's army by the time the Sinai reached Marseilles. A gale in the Black Sea on the night of the 28th, and which the Russian despatch described as terrific, and as causing great damage to the fleets, appears to have tried the seamanship of the Turks, and, it is said, has cost them an 80-gun ship and a frigate. The following summary of the news by the Sinai is given in La Presse MARSEILLES, Nov. 15. The Sinai has just arrived, with news from the Crimea to the 3rd. It had been decided that the assault should take place on the sth. 4,000 men, headed by Prince Napoleon, were to direct the first attack against the Rus- sian fort near the cemetery. The moment of assault was waited with impatience. The state of Sebastopol is de- scribed as frightful. The want of water is severely felt, and typhus fever prevailed in the city, infected as it was with the dead bodies which the sea cast upon the quays. In the burning of the hospital of Sebastopol, 2,000 sick and wounded were consumed. The first division was de- tached from the besieging army in order to reinforce the corps charged with observing the Russian army. Three attacks attempted by the latter had been repulsed. Rear- Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons had cut off the communica- tions between Tamana, Anapa, and the land, and was watching the Sea of Azoff; not a ship passed without being rigorously searched. On the 26th, Rear-Admiral Bruat landed near Yalta. The inhabitants received him in a friendly manner, and supplied him with provisions. The Cacique and the Spitfire, which were cruising before the Dneitser, signalled the passage by Perekop of Russian troops on their way to Sebastopol. The fire of the Rus- sian guns had become languid. It was thought the internal defence of the town would be energetic. The houses were barricaded, furnished with cannon, and transformed almost into citadels. Four ships of the Rus- sian fleet were sunk. The weather was fine in the Crimea, but at a distance the sea was stormy, and disasters were feared. The Allier, Tisiphone, Ville de Marseille, Jena, Albatross, Charlemagne, Napoleon, Taif, and the Tedjare, which had been at sea, had returned. Some apprehensions existed about the Suffren, the Madmouje, and the Abad- jihad. The Bahira was said to be lost. The squadrons under the command of Admirals Hamelin and Dundas were in Katcha bay. The troops and the division under the command of the rear-admirals are at Balaldava and in Kamisch bay. The fleets render important services. It was announced that the Russian flotilla Ismail would soon be attacked. RTHS BIRTHS, THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER 114 .1?

At the vestry meeting on Thursday, .Sir R. H. Cunlilfe, Bart., proposed a rate of twopence an the pound, and Mr. T.

The poll closed on Friday, with the following result —Far the rate, 450 ; against • the rate, 294; majority for the rate, 167.

On Tuesday forenoon, as a cart laden with straw was being drawn by two horses out of the Woodside Hotel stable-yard, it tilted back so that the shafts were almost upright, and, the band beneath giving way, the horse was literally hanged by the neck. It is -staid that "in the multitude of counsellors there is safety,;' but the poor animal did not find it so, for while several schemes to restore the tart to its position were ineffectually tried, he was choking. At length a man forced out the kecker, by which the,shafts are con- fined to the body of the cart, and the horse suddenly fell to the ground, where he groaned heavily, and- shortly after- wards died. THE LATE Ma. STEVENSON, OF BIRICENItEAI).—Mr. M`Bride, of Liverpool, has just completed the bas-relief, which, with the - rich architectural decorations, will be immediately fixed in St. Mary's Church, Birkenhead. The subject of the bas-relief was suggested by the text, " Sick, and ye visited me." It represents the deceased watching over and tending a beautiful maiden, whose relatives are represented as earnest and anxious-spectators. The relief is canopied and surrounded by work of a gothic character, in Caen stone, to harmonise with the character of the church. The, inscription tablet is fixed below the relief, and is as follows :—" Sacred to the memory' of William Stevenson,sof Birkenhead, surgeon, who died 6th June, 1853, aged sixty-four years. This monument is erected by public subscription, as a record of the esteem in which he was regarded by his fellow-townsmen." The work reflects high credit upon the sculptor. - - CHRISTIANITY ANIOEGST THE JEWS.—On Wednesday, -a meeting of the friends-of the Society for the Promotion of Christianity Amongst•the Jews, was held in St. Mary's School-room, Priory-strept, Birkenhead. .The chair was occupied by the Rev. A. Knox, and there were several oti.er clergymen present. The meeting was addressed by the reverend chairman, the Rev. Mr. Howlett, secretary, and the Rev. Mr. Hurst, ulto gave some very interesting details of the progress witieh Christianity was making amongst the Jews. Resolutions favourable to the objects were passed, and the meeting separated with a vote .of thank to the chairman. ArmIcATIoN or SEw.koE.,--At a meeting of the Man- chester Town Council, a few days ago, a letter was read from Mr. Samuel Brooks, in which that gentleman made the handsome offer of placing £l,OOO at the disposal of the council, to be expended in preliminary inquiries, and ,premimus for plans and experiments, as to the value of the .nightsoil of. he town. Mr. Brooks estimated the annual value of the sewage of the town of Vanchester at £lOO,OOO .a-year, and his letter referred to the,importance not only ,of properly disposing of it for agricultural purposes, but of rendering it subservient to other useful objects. . The thanks of the council were unanimously voted to Mr. Brooks for hisoffer. Monxm,rry- LANCA.SIIIILE AND aDESIIIRE.—From the Registrar-general's returns of the last quarter, we learn that Cheshire, except in Runcorn and Wirral, expe- rienced less than the average mortality. In Lancashire, the deaths in Liverpool and West Derby, in the three summer quarters of 1852, 1853, 1854, were 3,537, 2,701, and 4,563; and •the increase is referable to the epidemic cholera. The deaths from all causes in the summer quar- ter of 1849, when the,cholera was epidemic, were 8,021 in the two districts. The population of Liverpool and West Derby in 1851 was 411,515. The deaths in Manchester and Salford during the last quarter were 2,789 ; the popu- lation was 315,956 in 1851. Diarrhcea has been the pre- vailing form of disease in Manchester, and the mortality has not been considerable. LORD ILIRDINGE AND THE TWENTY-TRIED FUSI- LIERS.—The promoters of the special subscription .on behalf of the bereaved survivors of the 23rd have felt the FeeTa;ation of those who oppose the scheme (that the regiment is chiefly composed of Irishmen and Scotch) almost as a libel on their countrymen. Their sense of injustice has reached the ear of the Commander-in-Chief, who, in a private letter to a friend, thus refers to the sub- ject :—" I send the last return of the Welsh Fusiliers, signed by its gallant and distinguished leader, who fell so nobly at its head in the action of ,the Alma. I wish the • return had specified Welshmen, and I shall give directions that, in the Welsh Fusiliers, the four countries shall be separately and distinctly recorded. The number was 969, of which only 8 were Scotch and 182 were Irish. But the Welsh Fusiliers have always been a remarkable regiment, arid their conduct on every occasion has shown that they have in no instance degenerated from their former fame. The Welsh Fusiliers were engaged at Albuera, and, by a curious coincidence, they lost 14 officers, killed and wounded, the same as at Alma ; but the loss of men was greater at Albizera, namely, 324 men, and at the Alma 196 men?! The above has given the greatest satisfaction to those who felt t.bat the bravery. of the Welsh was detracted from by being draughted into other regiments nstead oft at which bean their name,

ternit (1 and fatherless in their affliction which the the national honour has rendered necessary, and the Scriptures tell us is above all virt s call to bi volence comes peculiarly com- mended to us by the circumstances of the case, dwell upon with so much pride for the credit of our common country is, fortanatelN occasion to enter into the question as to the ne- cessity of t een se ed by common consent. But, in whatever light that part Lave only to do h the necessities of t hose who are the immediate sufferers by it. Our soldiers, our sailors, and our marines have left their country, their homes, and their families in the performance of their duty. They have hazarded their lives, and nobly and manfully executed all that as required of them s to vindicate the justice of their country's cause, and maintain the invincibility of the meteor flag of England, the beacon of protection to the oppressed against all the tyrants of the earth. In this enterprise of danger many of them have fallen, and many may yet fall before the task be fully performed. The least, then, that we can do—we who sit at home of the clan igers—is to contri- ne ot ou which the assertion of our common cause has ren- dered desolate. It is a duty in which all should a duty to which we should be doubly stimulated, as an appreciation not only of the gallant deeds at Alma, at Balaklava, and at Sebastopol, but in heartfelt sympathy for those who have suffered so bitterly from the inevitable casualties. But why need we enlarge upon this theme ; it meets an echo wherever the note is sounded, and town after town, from John o' Groat's to Land's End, have striven to emulate each other which should be foremost in the cause. In our own town the same spirit has been evinced—Ward- meetings vieing with each other in the extent of their liberality to the distressed—and the same feeling pervading all classes, from the princely merchant to the humblest individual. THE LOSS OF THE FORERUNNER THE improvements which have taken place in, navigation, in the construction of vessels, in the skill of navigators, and in the knowledge of tides, currents, shoals, rocks, and other points of nautical experience, should have tended in a very material degree to diminish the number of ship- wrecks—disasters which are so often attended with the sacrifice of human life. There appears, how- ever, to have been recently a series of casualties, not so much to the old-fashioned tubs which modern science may look on with something like contempt, but to the triumphs of ship-building skill, to those vessels whose performances have testified to their superiority. It is not many months since the mysterious disappearance of the City of Glasgow steam-ship, belonging to the Liverpool and Philadelphia line, excited the deepest commiseration for the four hundred human beings on board of her, who were thus prematurely con- signed to dusky death. Their fate was attributed to the icebergs, which were known to be floating in the Atlantic ; and, having heard nothing more of her, no means were afforded for judging of the conduct of those to whom she was entrusted. Not long afterwards came accounts of the wreck of the City of Philadelphia, a steam-ship, nearly new, belonging to the same line. The consequences of the disaster were much less, for the crew and pas- sengers were saved ; but the wreck of the ship was attributed to the reprehensible practice of pro- ceeding at speed too near the dangerous coast of Newfoundland. But, hardly had the excitement occasioned by this calamity subsided, when the intelligence was received that the steam-ship Arctic, the crack boat of the Collins' line—the vessel whose performances had only been surpassed by the Arabia, with a few minutes to spare—had met with a shock, far more disastrous in its consec uences, not far from the scene of the former wreck. Here was another instance of recklessness, for it was shown that gin was going at frightful speed not far from the coast, in a dark night, and in a locality where fogs are of frequent occurrence,until, meeting another vessel, the dangers of a collision were past all remedy. But the catalogue of wrecked steam-ships is not closed, for, a fortnight since, we had to record the loss of the Forerunner, a fine steam-ship built by Mr. JOHN LAIRD, of Birkenhead, for the African Steam Navigation Company, and on her voyage home, having just left Madeira for England. Last week we published some further particulars relating to the disaster, and also an extract from Mr. DRIVER'S book on Madeira, descriptive of the place where the accident occurred. Since then, Captain which w dock_ Ind li remaining two, lowered without order or--discipline, were instantly overcrowded. At this juncture, two of the boats having pushed off to reach a Portuguese fishing-boat, which providentially passed near to us, .a heavy roller struck the ship ; she slid forward 'about half her length. and -went down, headforemost, hi 120 feet water, her pro- peller standing perpendicular to the water as she descended with the rapidity of a stone dropped from a height. some huge monster struggling for life. Four or fiveonl of these unfortunates were subsequently saved. The tim. which elapsed between the vessel's striking and disappearing occupied little more than ten minutes He then describes the saving of some of the pas- sengers by the Portuguese fishing-boat, and thus I will do thecrew of the Forerunner the justice to state have never had themisfortune to meet with. - I saw three of them in the cabin passage vainly struggling to save the captain's box of money, while they left the only woman and child on board to perish unheeded. Money or men, however, never reached the deck. To another the captain gave a bag of gold ; he was true to his trust, and went down with it. At the proper time I will not shrink from stating details which may tend to guard the public from like disasters. The loss of the Forerunner at Point St. Lorenzo is about as excusable and accountable as a vessel running against the Breakwater on her departure from Plymouth. She an open and safe passage 15 miles in width. We have also been favoured with the perusal of a private letter from a resident at Madeira, dated sth of November, from which we give the follow- ing extract relating to this melancholy disaster ; he says, that some of the passengers attribute the wreck to something more than an accident : Lorenzo the The Forerunner was lost off Point St end of last week, and the passengers and all us ing, the captain was much to blame. * * It Was daylight and smooth water, and he ran her on a rock close to the Point, after it being remarked to him that he was too close. Fourteen lives were lost; one, a lady, would not be saved—her husband, an officer in the army, was buried in the morning ; a child was saved, and Gibbs is taking care of it. The Governor of Sierra-Leone was on board. He went down with the vessel but came up again; he had a life-belt on. When the captain would not alter urse, he said, " it is time for me, then, to put on my le did, and lent one to another passenger We may remark, as rather a singular coinci- dence, that the wreck took place on the same day as the battle of Balaklava, and the letter from Ma- deira we have quoted above is dated the same day as the battle of Sebastopol. THE WAR IN THE CRIMEA the many conflicting reports received from the Seat of War in the East, the official details furnished by the respective commanders, the accounts sent almost in anticipation by electric telegraph, and the confusion of dates, it is not very easy for the general reader to clearly comprehend the position of affairs ; and the hopes and fears which are excited, according as the news may appear favourable or unfavourable, are consequently often misplaced. We therefore propose to give as succinct a narrative as possible of the proceedings of the allied forces, and the progress of the siege of Sebastopol, since the time when, after the glo- rious victory on the heights of Alma and the daring passage through the wood, the allies took AMIDS possession of BalaMaya and made it the basis of their operations In order to form as clear an idea as possible of the state of affairs, it should be premised that the town and fortress of Sebastopol stand on the south- west of the Crimea, and that the attack is con- is about five miles distant, the intermediate space being separated from the northern part of the country by a deep ravine, while the other side is bounded by the sea-coast. This line of five miles consists of a range of heights with a long narrow valley leading into Balaklava, while on the northern side is a lower range of heights, facing the country in possession of the Russian troops under General LIPRANDI. After taking possession of the heights near Balaklava, which was performed with comparative ease, preparations were immediately commenced for carrying on the siege according to the most ap- proved rules of warfare, all idea of capturing Sebastopol by a coup-de-main having been aban- doned. Accordingly, the English troops erected redoubts on the lower as well as the higher ground, that force occupying the most northern- most position, while the French forces took posses- sion of the southern side, both parties being fur- nished with reinforcements, ammnunition, siege guns, and other supplies from the fleet, the vessels being enabled to enter the creek by which Balak- lava communicates with the sea. The English had thus the post of defending the line of commu- nication against the Russian forces outside the walls, while the French troops more immediately faced the southern side of the town of Sebastopol, which was defended by huge mounds, earth-works and batteries, supplied with very heavy guns from the Russian fleet in the bay, and the arsenal, which the Emperor NICHOLAS had had constructed and stored as his stronghold for the subjugation of the Black Sea. It should be borne in mind, that the operations of a siege are conducted by making lines of trenches parallel with the fortification, which form a defence for the besiegers, who proceed with similar parallel trenches successively nearer, until a breach renders an assault practicable. Both the English and French forces, assisted by sailors from the fleet, who volunteered for this arduous duty, and did good service, were diligently employed in the erection of batteries until the 17th of October, when firing commenced from the English and French batteries ; but, after about three hours' cannonade, the explosion of a magazine in the midst of one of the French batteries partially dis- abled the French artillery until the 19th, when both sides were vigorously engaged, the Russian artillery being well served. Great assistance to the allies was at the same time afforded by several ships of the fleet, which approached close to the Russian forts, and, by distracting their fire, afforded important aid to the land forces. This was not, however, effected without considerable loss, and damage to the vessels engaged. But while the greater part of the allied troops were thus occupied within range of the guns of Sebastopol, the line of nearly five miles, which separated them from their head-quarters, near BalaMaya, was but thinly defended. The four small redoubts which had been erected on the lower line of heights, facing the northern country, were given in charge to some Turkish troops, the only other soldiers on the plain which it intersects being the 93rd Highlanders, with a battery of artillery and party of marines. This was a tempt- ing opportunity for the Russians to attempt an attack on the rear of the besiegers, and accordingly, on the 25th of October, a numerous body of the enemy, consisting of infantry, cavalry, and artillery, attacked the redoubts, from which the Turks were compelled to retire, having first spiked the guns in three of the redoubts, so as to render them useless to the enemy. The Highlanders, however, a RAGLA ,f cavalry to TX lossibl Milt dar been able to re-f front and in flanl ;ned order s unfortunate' like Prin dashed at once into the thick o had, in the meantime Reckless of dancer, the brave Light Dragoons rushed into the melee, until, sur- rounded by artillery, cavalry, and infantry, their only. resource was to cut their way out again, which was not effected without severe loss, though not so great as, under the circumstances, might however, that the resources at his command were inadequate for the defence of the lower range, withdrew his forces, and concentrated them on the precipitous heights, thus making a narrower but more defensible line of communication between the besieging operations and the head-quarters, near On the following day (the 26th), the garrison attempted a sortie, and a large Russian force, including cavalry, infantry, and artillery, amount- ing, it is said, to about 7,000 men, moved out of Sebastopol and attacked the second division of the English besiegers, under Gen. Sir D. EVANS. The latter was speedily assisted by the batteries of the first division, some regiments of the fourth division, and also a party of French ; and after a smart engagement the Russians were completely defeated, and pursued in their flight towards the head of the bay, leaving 80 prisoners in the hands of the E •lish, and it supposed that about 600 were killed From the 26th of October until the sth of November we have no certain intelligence, except such as is afforded by telegraphic messages, until the despatch of Lord RAGLAN, which has also come by telegraph, relates briefly the events of that day. It would appear, however, that the f the besiegers continued until, according to some account firing Sebastopol was reduced to a heap of ruins, the defence being conducted with an obstinacy of determination not to surrender, and a vigour of resistance for which we were not inclined to give the Russians credit. It is stated that Captain FELLOWES, with a flag of truce, had an interview with General GORTSCHAKOFF, in the valley of Balaklava, on the 2Sth of October. The object was to ascertain particulars of the loss, and if the Russians would allow him to communicate with the English prisoners. He was also in- structed to obtain permission to bury the dead who might have I een left in front of the Russian lines. The Russian officer only acknowledged to having two British officers captive—Lieut. CLOWES, of the Bth Hussars, and Cornet CHADWICK, of the 17th Lancers, both of whom were wounded, though not seriously. To the latter part of the missive the Russian replied that they were Christians, and had buried the dead. We are also informed by other despatch, received through Paris, that it had been decided that the assault on Sebastopol id be made on Sunday, the sth of November, the day on which the engagement took place with an enormous body of Russians, who were com- pletely defeated with the loss of many thousands of men, as mentioned in the telegraphic despatch from Lord RA.GLIN. This engagement took place with Russian troops which had been brought up with the Archdukes MICHAEL and NICHOLAS, with the view of compelling the Allies to raise the siege ; but, notwithstanding the disparity of num- bers, civilisation won the day against semi-bar- pent reports confirm the impres- sion that the discomfiture of the enemy had been so complete as to paralyse their exertions for seve- ral days, during which the French were actively engaged in fortifying their position and erecting fresh batteries. barism It would appear, from all the accounts we have received, that the Russians have displayed a brute energy of action, coupled with a certain amount of military skill, which have rendered the capture of Sebastopol by no means an easy task. There is also this consideration, that the EMPEROR OF RUSSIA has, in all his warlike operations, displayed a reck- lessness of human life which, combined with his immense resources as far as numbers are con- cerned, will, as reinforcements can be made avail- able, render the losses they experience in battle a minor calamity to that felt by the Allied Forces, whose men are more valuable. We are not in- clined, however, to endorse the desponding tone assumed by The Times, which enters into a laboured hypothesis in order to show that a series of vic- tories, in which the numbers of killed and wounded should be at the rate of two Russians to one of the Allies, would, by the end of the year, annihilate the latter. We are not content even to estimate pro- babilities after this fashion, though we would not wish to underrate the importance, and, indeed, the necessity of despatching powerful reinforcements to the Crimea, a course which the Government seem to be adopting with all convenient speed, as the best of our merchant steam-ships are being taken up for the transport of troops, and, for the first time, the regularity of the Cunard line of steamers from this port to New York will be inter- fered with. It should not be forgotten that, however numerous may be the .hordes of human machines which make up the Russian army, the means of conveying them in any con- dition to the extreme of the Crimea is far more difficult, and requires much longer time than the means possessed by the Allies, who have the com- mand of the ocean, and the best of steam-ships in almost unlimited number. Long before the Rus- aux EMPEROR could move a body of troops, with the requisite materiel, across his unwieldy empire, we could people the Crimea with soldiers ; and the great secret of success is, to do this so effectually in the first instance that the issue of the contest is placed at once beyond a doubt. The greatest difficulty with which we have to contend is the magnitude of the pecuniary burden, which is felt by all ; but so thoroughly are the people of this country embued with the conviction of the impor- tance of humbling the ambitious pretensions of Russia, that an appeal to the vox populi by uni- versal suffrage would result in an overwhelming majority, for prosecuting the war at any cost, and at any hazard, until complete victory be achieved. We must not, however, lose sight of the fact that, while the pecuniary resources of Great Britain may be considered almost inexhaustible, both and credit being ample, despite all the complaints of tightness in the money market, France has considerably greater resources in men well practised in military exercises. In this, how- ever, we are not deficient ; for if the call were made to raise an army of gentlemen volunteers, the ranks would speedily be filled up ; but France can raise thousands to our hundreds. It is, therefore, a question worthy of consideration, whether arrangements might not be made by which England should furnish transports, ammunition, and other necessaries for contingents of French troops, and thus unite in supplying the resources of war, according as each nation possesses the abundance. The contest has now been brought to such a money r

FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH.—These Pills are particularly efficacious for Stomach Coughs, Colds, Agues, Shortness of Breath, and, if taken after too free an indulgence at table, they quickly restore the system to its natural state of repose. They are an excellent aperient, create appetite, relieve languor, and invigorate the spirits. " For upwards of nine years (writes Mr. Thomas Province, of Winchinore Hill. Middlesex,) I have experienced the effi- cacy of this excellent Medicine. I had long previously been afflicted with headache and indigestion; but a friend having induced me to make a trial of Frampton's Pills, I now inform you that a few doses gave me great relief ; and during this long period of time I have taken them in preference to any other medicine; and I have the happiness of saying that I never had a better state of health, which I attribute to yrampton,s Pins. I beg further to add, that this medicine is in general use by my family, and we know of nothing to equal it." Persons of a Full Habit, who are subject to Head-ache, Giddiness, Drowsiness, and Singing in the Ears, arising from too great a flow of Blood to the Head, should never be with- out them, as many dangerous symptoms will be entirely carried off by their immediate use. For Females, these Pills are truly excellent, removing all obstructions, the distressing Head-ache so very prevalent with the sex; Depression of Spirits, Dulness of Sight, Nervous Affections, Blotches, Pimples, and Sallowness of the Skin, and give a healthy and juvenile bloom to the complexion. To Mothers they are confidently recommended as the best medicine that can be taken during pregnancy ; and for children of all ages they are unequalled. Asa pleasant, safe, and easy Aperient,they unite the recommendation of a mild operation with the most suc- cessful effect. By regulating the dose, according to the age and strength of the patient, they become suitable for every case, in either sex, that can be required.

TT OUGHT TO BE KNOWN that the Treat- ment universally adopted by the Faculty in Great Britain, in Cases of Deafness, is the result of a false theory, conceived in lamentable ignorance of the Organs and Anatomy of the Ear, and is in most cases calculated to accelerate and confirm the malady it is intended to remove. DR. HAHN, late Sur- geon, Aurist, and Physician in ordinary to the Grand Duke of Baden, feels it his duty to announce to persons suffering from Deafness, however long standing, and without regard to the age of the Patient, that he will guarantee their immediate and permanent restoration to Hearing, without any surgical er other painful operation.

FEMALE COMPLAINTS. - KEARSLEY'S ORIGINAL WIDOW WELCFI'S PILLS, so long and justly celebrated for their peculiar virtues in Female Com- plaints, and strongly recommended even by Members of the Faculty, as a safe and certain remedy in removing those ob- structions, and in regulating that periodic function, upon which the health of young women so much depends. These Pills are most valuable also in general debility of the system—in stimulating the languid appetite—in removing indigestion, and the host of nervous affections dependent upon it—in palpitation and shortness of breath; which some- times follow even the slightest exertion. QIIFFERERS FROM CHRONIC RHEUMA- TISM AND RHEUMATIC GOUT are respectfully informed that there is scarcely any form of that acute disease, however malignant, which will not immediately yield to the remedy of PROFESSOR HAHN, late PHYSICIAN to the GRAND DUKE OF BADEN, and formerly to the KING OF WUKTEMBURG.

HAHN, although residing in this country since 1549, bas hitherto abstained from calling public attention to this -remedy (which is the result of profound pathological study and intense chemical research), apprehensive that he might be classed amongst the numerous pretenders of the day ; Laving, however, during the past year received a number of highly satisfactory testimonials from noblemen and others, with permission in some cases to refer to them, he is induced to offer the remedy to the community, and will forward the prescription. with all necessary instructions as to regimen, diet, &c., on receipt of the fee of 108., by postoffice order, .payable to CARL HAH ri, M.D., Dispensary, Nottingham. Reference is permitted to the following Gentlemen, who lave been permanently cured of Rheumatic Gout, in its most distressing form :—Robert Colclough. Esq., Newfield Hall, -11LIttoxetor, Staffordshire; W. D. Ludlam, Esq., Wingfield park, near Alfreton, Derbyshire; Captain Gresham, Hunslet Hall, Leeds. Copies of testimonials from the Archbishop of Dublin; the Mayor of Bristol ; Sir George Sitwell, Bart., Reinabaw Hall, Derbyshire; T. Dalby, Esq., Toxteth-park, Liverpool; the Mayor of Southampton ; Dr. Clarke ; Dr. Ferguson ; and the principal Medical Gentlemen in the Mid- land Counties ; from nine Noblemen, and from upwards of thirty Members of the present House of Commons, will be sent on application. We are happy to hear that Professor HA HN, whose recent lectures to the students at Guy's, on DEAFNESS, its causet and cure, gave such complete satisfaction, is preparing for the faculty a translation of his work on Gout, published as Manheim, in 1848.—London Medical Gazette. I am constrained, however, to admit, that as a specific ap- plicable to every form of Gout, none has yet been discovered of equal potency to that of Dr. HAHN, of Manheim.—Dr. Afarvey's Practice of Physic, page 238.

MONDAY MORNING TuE past week has been a busy one among Ministers and their protegtis and underlings. It opened by a cabinet council held at the Foreign-office on Monday, which sat from three o'clock till near seven, and was at- tended by all the members of the Cabinet, except the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, whose absence at such meet- ings has on more occasions than one been looked on as significant, since the rule of the British empire fell into the hands of " all the talents." On Tuesday, HER MA- JESTY held a privy council at Windsor, which was fully attended by the ministers and great officers of state. The subjects of deliberation in both cases can, of course, only be guessed at, the ostensible business of the latter finding public utterance in the farther prorogation of Parliament to the 14th of December, and the swearing in of Sir BENJAMIN HALL, Bart., president of the General Board of Health, as a member of HER MAJESTY'S most honour- able privy council, the radical baronet taking his seat on the occasion. Rumour is again busy with another alleged hitch in the many-coloured cable which moors the coalition barque to the anchorage of office, the conduct and •present position of the war being, it is said, the twisting-point on which the incongruous fibres of the ministerial cordage become individual and rebellious. Numerous circumstances are referred to by the quid nuncs in illustration of this theory; conspicuous among these has been the wonderful silence which pervaded the orations of Lord JOHN and the HOME SECRETARY, at the. LORD MAYOR'S banquet, in reference to the war—a silence which left the whole dis- cussion on that most interesting and at present all- absorbing topic entirely in the hands of the PREMIER, who, it was observed, tripped as lightly over the subject as if he had been treading on eggs. Not a few shrewd- enough observers declare themselves. unable to trace much resemblance between the ministerial promises made and, the projects carried out; and they call painfully to memory that the preparations for commenc- ing the war, although costly in the extreme, were more calculated to make a show of power than to produce effect by their efficacy. They, upon review, remember that two splendid naval armaments were fitted out and despatched one to the Baltic, and the other to the Mediterranean, where they respectively effected nothing during the whole summer, or, at all events, nothing in any degree commen- surate with their magnitude and cost, or such as to reflect credit on the national renown. They do not cease, even amidst the rejoicings which have followed partial, though dearly-earned and glorious victories, to recollect that, while our fleets were manceuvring in profitless displays, varied now and then by the mystery of total inaction, our soldiers were cooped up in an unwholesome camp, plenteous tar- gets for the shafts of disease, which thinned their ranks while it enervated and dispirited the survivors. Such in- dividuals cannot bring themselves to forget, even if they would, that the invasion of the Crimea, the point on which the credit of the campaign rests, was delayed till public impatience became too powerful for further re- straint ; and that it was not undertaken till ample time had been allowed the enemy to take means for concen- trating his forces in that peninsula, and increasing the de- fences of his stronghold. Still further, the painful con- viction forces itself upon the public mind, that, from the conjoined co-operation of these causes, the operations, brilliant though they have been, were protracted or delayed to a period of the year at which the inclemencies of the season offer more formidable barriers to military achievements than the efforts of opposing armies--when those achievements are in no small danger of being rendered abortive by the wasted energies of a gallant army worn out in preliminary warfare, while labouring to crown with victory the glorious exertions of an arduous campaign. One ministerial act connected with the war meets with gene- ral approbation, and that is the General Order addressed by command of HER MAJESTY to the army in the Crimea, acknowledging the gallant services by which it achieved so glorious a victory on the heights of Alma. This im- portant document having been transmitted to the head- quarters of the army was there, published, and has been thence returned—an interesting manifestation of public gratitude to our gallant countrymen. It is, in most re- spects, a judiciously drawn up expression of general, as it is also of individual, feeling, and states in forcible lan- guage the national approbation. The war, its progress, and its probable results, are themes on which every tongue is forward to dilate. It forms the subject of remark in public and in private—in clubs and at street corners; and is discussed with an earnestness which throws every other topic into the shade. If the recondite features of policy, and the tortuous mys- teries of state-craft, are valuable increments in the debates which ensue among the members of the former, from the latter we receive many shrewd observations as to the general bearings of the question, and no small amount of insight into the actual state of public feeling on the im- portant subject. Among both classes the speakers are loud in admiration of the noble daring and unconquerable bravery which have enabled mere handfuls of men to achieve feats which would be considered honourable to armies. In each class of speakers to whom we may listen, the remarks are more expressive than complimen- tary when they contrast the sayings with the doings of the Ministry in relation to the war. Each class, in its own way, remarks upon the pretended amplitude of pre- paration which it was said had been made, and indignantly demand to know where the indications of that preparation are to be found ? In answer they recall to memory how Ministers prated about their reluctance to enter upon a war, but having, as they said, entered upon it, how fully they were resolved that it should be prosecuted with vigour. How they talked about our magnificent arma- ments by sea and land, and, eventually, when they re- solved, in obedience to popular demand, to adventure an invasion of the Crimea, how we were talked to death by the full bray of Coalition oratory as to the splendour and power of our Eastern fleet and army. That army entrusted to the command of able officers— under their guidance effected a landing, and speedily achieved a victory so glorious as entirely to outstrip expectation, and to add yet another wreath to the national laurels. At this unexpected and gratifying turn of events —for which small thanks only were due to the home authorities—the shouts of Ministerial laudation rent the air, the topics of their jubilations being their own fore- sight and magnanimity which they sounded at every banquet where a Minister was privileged to edge in his visage, or was permitted to wag his tongue. "See," said they, " the victory we have achieved ! Sebastopol is in- vested—besieged—bombarded—and will speedily be ours!" In thus apportioning to themselves the merits and fruits of an unachieved conquest, they committed an act which is never forgotten or excused among the unsophisticated ranks of our common-sense practical countrymen. They, to use a homely phrase, were discovered "counting their chickens before they were hatched." From time to time Lay, we have been prever westing Sebastopol, or, at all events, that we have .om cutting off its supplies; and, seeing these glib-tongued Ministers told the nation of the nume- rous successes by which our gallant troops sustained the honour of British valour—but they never reflected that even victories are costly of life ; and they entirely omitted to furnish the supplies of men necessary to fill up the gaps occasioned by the ravages of disease and the vindictive efforts of a baffled enemy. True, a succession of achieve- ments, unsurpassed in ancient, and scarcely paralleled in modern times, had followed the efforts, but could hardly be said to have crowned the valour of our arms ; yet, like Pvnasrus of old, we were constrained to admit that victories were costly; and with him we have also almost been tempted to exclaim, " One more such victory and lam undone." At this conjuncture came the ministerial hurry-scurry of undeliberated resolutions— reinforcements were to be despatched in whatever con- dition they were found—transports to be procured, wherever, however, and at whatever cost they could be obtained—then more enterprises undertaken at a moment's notice, for which ample time might have been easily secured; and channels of commerce were interfered with, which, under a better system of operations, might have been left undisturbed. With such a course of action forced upon their observation, is it singular that the general voice condemns the judgment and utters sus- picion er +1 been preyente(: all this, it will not be slow in exacting a definite answer from those who are responsible as to why a neutrality so detrimental to Britain, so beneficial to Russia, is permitted to exist, The state of matters at Sebastopol, although furnishing abundant reasonior anxiety, affords no ground for despair, and scarcely any for apprehension. Three severe battles, if not four, have been fought in its immediate vicinity, the object of each being to drive the besieging armies from their position. Irialt of the three the Russians have been defeated with immense loss, and in each the prestige of the British name has been nobly maintained, indeed elevated. Henceforth, when the moral influence of devoted heroism is figured by reference to the illustrious dead, the valiant warriors of our light cavalry brigade, who fought, conquered, and perished on the plains of Balaklava, will take rank with the immortal defenders of Thermopylae, and its survivors with the victors of Marathon and Leuctra. The intrepid, dreadful bravery of our country- men, on the occasion referred to, transcends all praise, passes comprehension, and almost exceeds belief. Foiled in repeated efforts to drive the British from their position, the enemy had taken up ground, about a mile and a-half from our front, when an order was conveyed to the General of the Cavalry com- manding the Light Division to advance rapidly, and pre- vent the enemy from carrying off the guns captured from the Turks. Under the circumstances of the field, this order, if attempted to be carried out, was plainly a death- warrant. The cavalry, infantry, and artillery of the Russians were somewhere about 20,000 strong, and in position at a mile and a-half off ; and from this force, so placed, the Light Division, numbering few more than 600 sabres, was ordered to rescue the cap- tured guns. The order is said to have been a mistake, or to have been misunderstood, and it was questioned, no wonder, and explained, "There are the enemy, and there are the guns, sir, before them; it is your duty to take them." The division was marshalled in two lines, led by Lord CARDIGAN, and in execution of that duty they went to do and die. On go the two small lines, in all the pomp and panoply of war, to swift and sure destruction ; at first they move into a steady trot, a gallop takes its place, and anon the pace acquires the sweep and majesty of the charge, shot and shell, in the meantime, flying among and thinning their ranks, the gaps in which are rapidly filled up. They advanced unchecked until they came within range of the murderous fire of the batteries, and still onward till they reached the guns, sabred the gunners, and encountered overwhelming masses of cavalry and infantry. For a few seconds swords, lances, and plumes are tossed upon the tide of battle, and then is to be seen a scanty handful of men clearing their way through the throng of the enemy. While thus engaged and mingled in the heady and deadly fight, the Russian gunners, regaining possession of their guns, poured a murderous fire of grape and canister on the mass of struggling men and horses, slaughtering indiscriminately friends and foes, an act unparalleled for savage atrocity in ancient or in modern annals. As in this unequal combat the enemy must have been at least as five to one of our devoted coun- trymen, the passive slaves of Russian savages who com- manded those guns must have considered it valuable service to take the chance of killing five of their brethren in arms for one Englishman. Out of this ruthless carnage, marvellous to say, a hundred and fifty of the six hundred contrived to fight their way back into their original posi- tion. Well did a French officer who beheld this frightful contest exclaim, " C'est magnifique, mais ce n'est pas la guerre." The French press has almost exhausted their vocabulary of panegyric in reference to the sustained bravery evinced by our troops on that occasion. It is also stated that the ExpEßon, on reading an account of the heroism of the British cavalry, in the encounter at Balak- lava, exclaimed, " Voila des braves. S'ils etaient a moi chaque soldat revenant de ce combat recevrait la medallic)." Another severe battle took place between the Allies besieging Sebastopol, and a large body of Russians, on the sth of the present month. The details of this battle have not yet been published, but enough is known to show that it also has been a desperate affair, but, like that at Balak- lava, terminating in favour of the Allies, and still further demonstrating the vast superiority of morale possessed by the Allied troops over the Russian hordes. The battle lasted from dawn till past noon, and the conflict was an exceedingly sanguinary one, in which the Allies lost in killed and wounded 3,800 men, while the enemy lost upwards of 8,000. In the encounter the English had three generals killed, including General Sir GEORGE CATHCART, G.C.B. This gallant officer was son of the celebrated Earl of CATHCART, and brother to the present Earl, who greatly distinguished himself at Waterloo, as did also the deceased general, who, as aide-de-camp to the great Duke on that memorable occasion, gave the order to the Guards to charge. The general had just returned from the Cape of Good Hope, where, as successor to Sir HARRY Snirn, he had finished a long and harrass- ing war. Previous to his return from the Cape, he received the appointment of Adjutant-General, and had little more than reached the British shores, when duty called him to the East, whence he was destined never to return. These repeated defeats of the Russians must, without doubt, have tended greatly to disspirit them, and, as yet, they have not been able to effect any relief to the besieged, and as reinforcements for the Allies had begun to arrive, and large numbers are known to be on the way, every reason exists for anticipating that our efforts will be crowned with success. Still, the question forces itself on every thinking individual, how comes it that, when reinforcements are urgently needed, they are only about to be sent ? Your readers may remember that, some time ago, Mr. SAUNDERS, Consul-general in London for the United States, presented a long, questionable, and quasi-official letter to the Swiss Federation, reflecting on the conduct of that government in its treatment of the European poli- tical refugees, and counselling the Federation to take steps for spreading democratic and republican opinions. The letter excited some attention at the time ;—it has been formally disavowed by the Cabinet of Washington, which denies that any powers to interfere in such a matter were conferred upon Mr. SUNDERS ; it also expresses disapproval of his proceedings. On Wednesday last Mr. DISRAELI, having been put in nomination as successor to the Earl of EGLINTON, as Lord Rector of the University of Glasgow, was defeated by the Duke of ARGYLE, whose supporters carried his election by a majority of nearly two to one. The wonder is, not that Mr. DISRAELI was defeated in such a contest, but that he got any votes at all, the influence of Inverary Castle being nearly omnipotent at Glasgow, three-fourths of the university students in which, in all probability, rejoice in the family patronymic of CAMPBELL, the remaining fourth being less or more connected with that clan. Every now and then a dispute, if not a quarrel, is ori- ginated between the representatives of the British Museum on the one hand and the plenipotentiaries of the book- trade on the other, relative to the privilege of receiving presentation copies of all published works from the latter by the former. The dispute has lasted many years, and assumed various forms, as well as changing combatants; in each instance, however, the national might prevailing over the individual right. The vicarious champions, victims if you will, of the long-waged war against the Museum claims are MeSsrs.. SUTHERLAND and KNOX, of Edinburgh, who complain, and show good reason for their complaint, that they have been very scurvily, and, as they insinuate, unfairly treated by Mr.-PA:gum and his agents. Of course the latter repudiate the charge, and make out a strong case to show that they are all right " in law," and charge the unhappy publishers with being their own worst friends as delinquents. Where a law interposes a rule of action, it may be unwise to resist its dicta, but it cannot in- volve much practical criminality to inquire how far that law is just and wise. The law claims for the British Museum and some other public institutions a copy of every work published, and confers on certain parties the right to enforce that claim with certain prescribed penalties, if it be not voluntarily recognised and satisfied. In this country no man is expected to ren- der service or to give a contribution without receiving a benefit of some sort in return ; but the British Museum confers no benefit on authors or publishers : and although it is no doubt very desirable that there should be one or more national depositories of every work published, it is scarcely reasonable to insist that the public should be so accommodated at the expense of an author or pub- lisher. The National Gallery is not furnished at the cost of artists, yet it is a national depository for reference. Whether through rival idiosyncrasies, or simply through rival commercial interests, it might be difficult to deter- mine, but the Athenecum and Critic range themselves on opposite sides of this controversy—the former appearing to favour the " legal" view, the latter the " rational" aspect of the case. In addition to this subject, a very pretty case of mutual accusation has been got up bet those two literary rivals, relative to the purity and disin chess of the respec ;ive motives of their public tions. The to quoque argument is•lxudied about between nanner little becoming tiw. pretensions of .not calculated to eley_ate the &a. acter of journalism or ADVERTISER interests of literaturd At the. very best, as they show off the matter, it is only a "pot and kettle" quarrel after all, in which the public•is not likely to feel much interest. In the death of CuABLEs KEMBLE, which took place on the 12th instant, we have lost one, and the last one of the histrionic Titans. CHARLES KEMBLE, at first distin- guished as the brother of his sister and his brother, be- came afterwards famous for the tact, beauty, and polish of his own impersonations in the highest walk of genteel comedy. As representative of the man of elegance and refinement, he was long without a rival on the British stage; and those who remember his Lord Townley, Mr. Oakley, Charles Surface, Colonel Freelove, and such characters, will readily admit that his like has not been seen since he quitted the stage, now a good many years ago. Besides being an able and accomplished actor, he was a man of education and refined manners, and was generally respected and esteemed. 1 \,, k ..., AINIIIIIII,I_ 1 r.:,.... ..111. , a,,, ' \ ' • • ,i; i '4lnohN 1 ..1011116 11 71, = ..:----.7_. , DIRIII • , • c),- .... ev, rlo9,iii i :,-___ z iiii i ' ' , t t 1'..11!'.;'., ,A\ii.,l,,, ire.' ~;,1,p.,. 1 i,;#lllffitl,v,l. rl .„,,,,,„H,,, ~!.,,.„,„„„. 1, ~ ..„:, 1,,, ; , ~,,„..i,„, 111 ~,p,, 1 . fns' .,1,, - 1 1 '..-:, 1 ihul 01''..1,1' ' Altai ' ail, j',s';i''' 'l'd ;:ii,Tl,-; '' . ~..',.',"1- 1:..., 1 A411.V i 6 ,1 , . ~ _,-_---- p Ili ~, .11;:1,:ilii,11." 1111 .:i 1, ', .‘,.;',' ,—ll , AvA 1 ,J,.,,,, ..I 'I. :,--.-,_,,,,,..,,,.,,,.. .

EFFECT OF Low FARES.—The reduction of fares on the Caledonian and Edinburgh and Glasgow Railways has Increased the number of passengers to an extent which the managers of these lines never contemplated. The number conveyed by the Caledonian last week was 95,587, and by the Edinburgh and Glasgow 26,060, making a total of 121,647. In the corresponding week List year the number was only 81,495 for both lines ; thus showing an increase of 40,000 in a week, or at the rate of more than two millions in a year.—North British Mail. • • PERU.—We Near from Faena, under date of the 3d October last, that General San Roman, one of General Castilla's supporters, had left him, some say with one thou- sand, some with three thousand, soldiers. The President, General Echenique, was near to the insurgent General Castilla, and although the forces of the latter had greatly diminished by the defection of the said General San Roman, the position occupied by Castilla on the high mountains was such that an attack would entail an awful sacrifice of life ; consequently the government troops were hemming them in, and it was almost certain they would soon surrender or fight. Dr. Domingo Elias, ine of the principal leaders, had disappeared from Arequipa on the approach of the government troops. THE WAR AND THE RECRUITING SERVICE.—Never during-the last sixteen years has recruiting Leen so active in Leeds as at the present time. We have now in Leeds recruiting parties from various regiments •of horse, foot, artillery, and two regiments of militia, namely, the 2nd and 3rd West York. As soon as hostilities actually commeneed, there was a visible increase in the number of recruits ; and-this increase has become greater, week by week. Since-the invasion of the Crimea the war-spirit amongst the-young men of the district has been roused to an unprecedented height; and it is quite surprising to witness the large number of recruits that are daily attested before the sitting magistrates at the Court House.—Leeds Paper. • ILLNESS OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREAEURT.—It is reported that Mr. Harter, M.P., will be unable to resume his official functions as Patronage Secretary, in conse- quence of the severe attack of cataract under which he is sufibring. The right hon. gentleman is: at present in Paris. A CERTAIN Secretary of State being asked why he did not promote merit, aptly replied, " Because merit did not promote me."

WHAT IS A MOUNTAIN?—It is to one man a mine, where treasure may be hid; to another, pasturage for flocks, ora site for a house ; to the artist it is chrome lake, yellow ochre; burnt sienna, and indigo; to the geologist, it is trap, quartz, schist, limestone, sandstone, hornblend, calz, and the like; to the poet, it is his temple and a throne, an oracle of pines, a ladder of angels, a landing place for Mercury. To most men, it is a mountain and nothing more. AMERICAN IDEAS or HAPPINEiS.—" We are, indeed, a happy, elegant, moral, transcendent people.

He was closely watched, es it was feared be might lay violent hands on himself. He got np on Saturdayinorning and went down stairs with his brother, when they arranged what each one's work should be for the day. The deceased went into the dairy, and shortly afterwards his brother was shocked at hearing the report of a gun. On going to the spot he found his brother weltering in his blood. From the position of the body and the gun, it is believed that the deceased had placed the butt-end against the wall and reached forward to push the trigger; so that the muzzle of the gun having been placed against his breast, the con- s may be tents were driven with terrific force through the chest, thereby causing instant death. An inquest has been held on the body, and a verdict of " temporary insanity" re- turned. AN EVENTFUL STORY.—The incidents of real life are often-times more interesting and scarcely ever less in- structive than those evolved during the development.of fictitious narrative or story, and they at times present a strangeness and improbability which • we generally asso- ciate only with works of imagination. We meet every day with coincidences as extraordinary as ever the novelist created for the happiness or misery of his heroes—with facts surrounded with all the romance of fiction, and much more of the truth—with chapters in the history of real life as full of interest as the most touching chapters of romance, and appealing to the heart with more force, by drawing it to tue conropiation of real sorrow and true heroism. Fortune, amidst this hurry and bustle of actual life, plays her strangest freaks—pushing from its highest pinnacles some, and raising others from the humblest spheres to unbounded wealth. Of the latter the public hear more, because they are of a more exceptional character, and to some extent are connected with facts as instructive as they are interesting. Of this cate- gory is a story communicated to us within the past few days. Some years ago, a man in the humbler walks of life was honoured by an offer of marriage from a lady in comfortable circumstances, which he accepted, and the event was soon after consummated. During their wedlock she bore him three sons, a short time after which her death took place. In the course of a few years the widower sought another wife, his sons com- mencing the world with achieving (one or more in t )y pruc and frugality, princely fortunes. Whilst 'iluisaccumu- lating wealth, their father was struggling on s ith a nu- merous and youthful family of girls, one of whom (at pre- sent the only survivor), after exchanging vows of unalter- able devotion with a youthful wooer on his departure for the United States of America, ran away with a tailor, who wooed and won her whilst a girl at school. Subsequently the tailor and his wife removed to Leeds, where they lived for many years in the humblest manner, and whilst re- siding there one of the half-brothers died, leaving his father and his heirs by the second wife, at the death of one of the surviving brothers, the whole of his estates, worth, it was stated, nearly a quarter of a million, the surviving brother undertaking not to allow anything to the half-sister during his lifetime. The father died either previously or immediately after this event, and, notwithstanding this brilliant fortune iu re- version, the poor tailor and his wife continued to struggle on against difficulties which only the poor know, and re- sisting all overtures to give up their title for a present consideration. Some twelve or fifteen months ago the poor tailor died, leaving his wife with a family of three daughters and a son, with scarcely any means of obtain- ing a future maintenance. The history of that period is one of deeply painful character—a history of want and suffering—at times of actual starvation, relieved only by parish relief—the family barely existing, buoyed up by the hope of the fortune which the rapidly declining health of the brother on whose death its reversion depended Plated almost within their grasp. The brother tried the waters of a neighbouring mineral spa during the past summer, and had frequent interviews with his half- sister, who, however, kept him ignorant of her abso- lute destitution. He found, however, but tempory relief from the waters, and towards autumn be re- turned to his home in the north, where he died last week, leaving his half-sister a shilling and mourning, to her son an estate in India, and to the eldest daughter a handsome fortune—the residue of his property going to an illegitimate son. At this conjuncture the old wooer of our heroine presents himself after a successful trans- atlantic career, and with the chivalry of a true knight he has vowed to see the lady of his early love righted. The denouement we know not yet, but we have recorded these passages in the story as presenting another illustration of the common saying, " Truth is stranger than fiction." There are many things in the story which are doubtful, not in themselves, but from the circumstances with which they are connected, and we cannot give publicity to it with any higher authority than that the facts have been described to us by one who is intimate with one of the principal personages referred to, and who believes in their truthfulness. We have omitted names, as their insertion could answer no purpose but that of idle curiosity.—Leeds Intelligencer.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, AND' GENERAL COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER. VISCOUNT MOLTNEUX, eldest son of the Earl of Sefton, has entered the Ist Grenadier Guards. BURY. At a public meeting, on Saturday, resolutions in support of the Patriotic Fund were adopted. The sum of £650 was subscribed in the room. THE AFRICA, British and North American Royal Mail steamer, Captain Harrison, took her departure hence for New York on Saturday, with 61 passengers, a good cargo, and the usual mails. THE EARL AND COUNTESS OF DERBY are entertaining a few select friends at Knowsley-hall, near Prescot. The Duke and Duchess of Richmond, en route from Gordon Castle, N. 8., to the South, are expected to visit the noble ex-Premier at Knowsley, en route to Goodwood, for the winter. SOUTHERN HOSPITAL.—The annual service at St. Bar- nabas' Church, Toxteth-park, in aid of the funds for the Southern Hospital, was performed on Sunday morning, the Mayor forming one of the congregation. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. M Neile, and the sum of £6l was collected. STREET GAMBLING.—At the Police-court, yesterday, Mary M`Lawrie for having a wheel-of-fortune table and a thimble-rigging apparatus in Hood-street, on Saturday, was convicted, and fined 2s. 6d. and 2s. 6d. costs. LIVERPOOL ACADEMY.—As the short and " dark days of November" are so unfavourable for the inspection of pictures, the managers have judiciously availed themselves of the powerful aid of gas, for the illumination of their splendid collection of paintings and statuary, every even- ing during the week, except Saturdays. LORD GREY DE WILTON'S coming-of-age, on Saturday next, will, we hear, be celebrated by brilliant festivities at the Earl of Wilton's, Egerton Lodge, Melton-Mowbray, instead of at his lordship's patrimonial seat, Heaton-park, near Manchester, where, however, the tenantry will be liberally regaled on the occasion. TICE MERMAID, Captain Devey, one of Messrs. Pilking- ton and Wilson's " White Star Line" of Australian clip- pers, arrived here on Friday, from Australia, with 20,000 oz. of gold and 80 passengers. As the Mermaid sailed from Melbourne on the 29th of July, the news has been anticipated. REINFORCEMENTS FOR THE CRIMEA. A placard, signed " A Townsman," has been extensively circulated through the town, calling upon the inhabitants of Liver- pool to move on the subject of reinforcements for the East, and suggesting that the Mayor should convene a public meeting. SINGULAR CASE OF UNCONSCIOUSNESS. —ln the course of an investigation, which took place before the police magistrate yesterday, an attorney, who appeared for a prisoner charged with picking pockets in the streets, made the following strange confession of obliviousness. He said, " It is quite impossible, in passing through a crop d, to say who gets their hand in your pocket. I have myself, in a-crowd, inadvertently found my own hand in a gen- tleman's coat pocket before now, and been quite astonished at it!" BREACH OF DOCK REGITLA.TIONS.—At the Police- court, yesterday, William Hill was ordered to pay a fine of 2s. 6d., together with 2s. 6d. costs, for leaving a large bottle of vitriol on the Landing-stage without any one be- ing in charge of it, and without having a label on it dis- tinctly marked " Vitriol," in compliance with the provi- .. sions of the Liverpool Dock Act.'r WINTER. ASSIZES.—Mr. Justice Erie and Mr. Justice Crompton will open the commission for the county of Lancaster, at the Liverpool assize courts, on Monday, the 11th of December. The calendar is heavy, some of the cases involving offences of the most serious character. THE SCREW-STEAMER LOIRE, one of Messrs. M'Clune and Tampliu's new line, intended to connect Liverpool with the western ports of France, performed a trial trip on Wednesday, the results of which, we understand, were quite satisfactory, a speed of 12f knots having been attained. SINKING OF A. BRIG IN THE CHANNEL.-011 Wednes- day morning, a brig from Arklow came into collision with another vessel off the N.W. lightship, and cut her down. She sank shortly afterwards. The captain was picked up by the steamer Windsor, Captain W. Williams, from Dublin, and the crew were saved by another vessel. MR. NICHOLLS, of Eastham Ferry Hotel, has in his garden some strawberry plants, from which ripe fruit was taken last week. The fruit was as large and fine as it usually is in early summer, and, having grown in the open air, affords a proof of the mildness of the climate of the locality. MAIL FOR AUSTRALIA.—In consequence of the General Screw Company's steamer, which was to have taken the mail of the 4th proximo, being taken up by the Govern- ment for troops, Messrs. Jas. Baines and Co. have con- tracted with Government to dispatch their new clipper- ship James Baines, from Liverpool, on the 9th December, with Her Majesty's mails, and to perform the passage in sixty-five days, under a penalty. EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA.—The Almora, Captain Williams, belonging to the " Eagle Line," cleared out on Friday for Melbourne, with 250 passengers. The "White Star" packet Shalimar will sail, as well as the Almora, in a few days, for Melbourne, with upwards of 400 passengers on board. The various ships for Australian ports now loading are filling up well with passengers and cargo. SUDDEN DEATHS.—On Sunday night, about half-past nine o'clock, as a man named Andrew Barnet, an engine fitter, residing in 21, Bond-street, was taking his supper, he became suddenly ill, and died in a few minutes. Sur- gical aid was immediately procured, but it was of no avail. Deceased was about thirty-two years of age, and unmarried.—On Sunday morning, a man named Samuel Brown, who resided with his sister, Mrs. Taylor, in Ellen- borough-street, was found dead in a court in Cherry-lane; Deceased had left his lodgings about twelve o'clock on Saturday night, and was not again seen alive by any of his relatives. When found, about eight o'clock on Sunday morning, he had neither coat nor waistcoat on, although he wore both when he went out. He was about forty- five years old, and had been subject to spasms; no marks of violence were visible about his person. CHILD BURNED TO DEATH.—On Saturday morning, as a child named Henry O'Brien, son of John O'Brien, labourer, of No. 5 Court, Combermere-street, Park, was amusing himself with a lighted stick, along with a brother who was a little older than himself, his night dress caught fire, and he was so severely scorched as to cause his death in the course of the afternoon. It appears that the deceased, who was three years and a half old, and his brother were left in bed together, while his mother went to St. Patrick's R. C. Chapel, about half-past seven in the morning. On her return she found that the deceased had been burned and taken to Mr. Drawbridge's surgery, where the injuries he had received were dressed, but he died at half-past three the same afternoon. WIGAN SCHOOL.—This question came before Vice- chancellor Kindersley, on Friday. The object of the petition was to obtain the sanction of the Court to the purchase of some small lots of land, on which buildings had been erected, held on a lease of 999 years, the annual rent of the houses being from £7 to £l2, together with the reversionary interest in that. property. There were funds belonging to the charity invested in Exchequer Bills, and directed by a local Act of Parliament to be applied to the purchase of property such as that above- mentioned. The act prohibited the head master of the school from granting leases for a longer term than nine years. It was submitted that, as the purchase would realise a permanent profit of £5 per cent., the Court would approve of the purchase. His Honour doubted whether the purchase of property, which did not appear susceptible of any future improvement, was so beneficial for the charity as was supposed, even although it was likely to pay a steady per centage of £5. He thought the matter had better be further considered at chambers. THE NEW NORTH BATTERY.—The new battery which has been built to the front of the river, northwest of the Huskisson Dock, from designs by Captain Westmacott, is ready for the reception of the guns and ordnance stores. It has been constructed by Messrs. Arthur and George Holme, the principal material being Runcorn stone. It is a square building, occupying about 3,000 square yards, and, having been erected in the castellated style of archi- tecture, it presents from the land side a handsome and substantial appearance. The battery fronting the river is completed, and ready for the reception of ten 32-pounders, with which it is to be mounted. At each end, and also facing the river, is placed a tower of solid masonry, on each of which will be mounted a 68-pounder, so arranged as -to sweep the river in every direction. The steps by which access is obtained to the guns are of Irish granite. The parade is a fine open area, almost square, enclosed by the various accessory buildings requisite in connexion with a defensible construction, entrance to which is obtained from the east side, by means of a drawbridge suspended in the usual manner over a deep ditch or artificial foss. On each side of the arched entrance are a series of apartments, to be used as quarters for the officers and men, a school- room, magazine, &e. These buildings are protected by a roof of great strength, covered with asphalte, and made bomb-proof. The battery is capable of defence in every direction, facilities being provided for mounting guns on all sides, and it is capable of holding a garrison of 500 men. The chimney-pieces, shutters, racks for the guns and cut- lasses, and, indeed, nearly all the fittings, are of wrought iron. In the centre of the parade there will be two large tanks ; and a lightning conductor will be placed near the magazine, which is protected by a brick arch, of great strength, made bomb-proof. Between the battery and the highway to Bootle a road has been formed, to which the appropriate name of " Battery-street " has been given. NAKED LIGHTS IN WAREHOUSES.—THE BYE-LAW DISPUTED.—On Thursday, Mr. R. W. Preston, wine and spirit merchant, appeared before Mr. Smith, the magis- trate, at the Police-court, to answer a charge of having allowed two naked candles to be burned in his cellar, No. 8, Exchange-street West, on the Bth instant. Mr. Preston said, " I appear to answer the charge, sir ; and I appre- hend, taking the bye-law as it stands, a conviction cannot go against the owner for the act of any man in that cellar. I ground this upon the bye-law itself, which says, ' Any person who shall within the borough use a light,' &c. Now, the person who used the light is the party who should be convicted. I, as chairman of the wine and spirit association, communicated with the watch com- mittee upon this point, and a deputation to that com- mittee will be heard on Saturday next, with the view of bringing the matter before the Council ; and I should, therefore, wish an adjournment upon this point."—Mr. Smith : " I am perfectly of opinion that anything done by a servant the master is accountable for."—Mr. Preston: " There is not a porter on the quay but has a lucifer- match in his pocket. The law is very good, and could be extended to meet all the urgencies of the case. Upon a former occasion, some years ago, we were fined by the late Mr. Rushton, under the same bye-law. Upon the occasion of a second fine, we appealed, and he said, ' Let it be for a time.' rwo or three days afterwards I received a letter from him, in which he said, ' You need not give yourself further trouble on this matter.' Now, I apprehend, and, of course, I can only presume, that the notion of Mr. Rushton was, that the bye-law was imperfect as against the owners of cellars. Ido not object to the law itself— it is a good law, but I think the fine ought to be against the party actually offending. I should like the law to be ' ,ffend."—Mr. Smith : " In the present instance 1 must apyty mw ute owner of the cellar."—Mr. Preston : Can you not let it stand over, sir ?"—Mr. Smith : " I cannot do that ; there have already been many parties before me, whom I have —Mr. Preston : " If I am convicted I shall pay it protest, and it shall be heard at the Quarter Sessions eston."—The fine inflicted was 10s., which Mr. W.

Ano- • ' " ther point of interest insisted on in the report was the fact, that 24 ships had been supplied with religious libra- ries, consisting each of 600 volumes. Some of these libraries had been returned to the society, after having circumnavigated the globe. Besides the libraries referred to, the report also stated that 50,000 copies of the publi- cations, issued by the Religious Tract Society, had been circulated by this society among sailors, flatmen, and dock porters. The labours of the society had been carried on partly by a paid and partly gratuitous agency. The report expressed regret that the expenditure of the year had exceeded that of the preceding year by £2O, not- withstanding which the debt had been reduced rather than increased. The operations of the society had, the report represented, been considerably limited, as its accommodation had been too confined, and its means too wet the requirements of the case or the wishes lifficulties several of the committee. plans had been under consideration, embracing the erec- tion of two places of worship, but this had been frustrated by the great expense of the ground requisite for building on. Inquiry, however, had been made, and it had been found that moveable iron chapels conld be constructed at an expense of about £1 for each sitting, or about £2OO each for two chapels capable of accommodating 200 in- dividuals each, without incurring the enormous outlay for building land ; and two of these had accordingly been ordered, one for the south and one for the north. In accordance with the extended field of the society's opera- tions, it had been resolved to change, or rather to alter, the name of the society, to " The Liverpool Sea- men and Emigrants' Friend Society and Bethel Union. From the treasurer's statement of accounts it appeared that the income of the society for the year amounted to £712. 12s. 10d., and the expenditure to £519. Bs. 2d. On the motion of the Rev. H. Stowell Brown, the report was adopted, and ordered to be printed and circulated. Several other gentlemen delivered addresses, after which the meet- ing separated THE Duxn AND DUCHESS OF BEDFORD arrived in Belgrave-square on Saturday, from a visit to the Queen at Windsor Castle, en route to Woburn Abbey, where Lord and Lady John Russell and a numerous family circle will _ assemble on a visit, to their graces during the a broaching recess. THE COURT.—On Tuesday the Queen held a Privy Council. The Spanish Minister, the Hon. Chas. Murray; Lord John Russell, the Duke of Newcastle, Mr. Gordon. Maharajah Duleep Singh, and Dr. Logan had an audience of her Majesty. The latter was knighted. A RETURN to au order of the House of Commons, moved by Mr. Hume, has been issued, containing a "state- ment of the names of all permanent public officers who hold any office, or employment out of their office, as direc- tors of life assurance, railway, banking, or other commer- cial companies; stating the office each such servant holds, the time he has been in the public service, and the amount of salary and emoluments received from the public by him in the year 1852." The names of 120 gentlemen are given with salaries varying from £6B to £5,000. Mr. P. Ganna- way, a letter-carrier in the London district, is in receipt of the lesser amount, and he is a director of a friendly loan society. Mr. Justice Maule has £5,000, and he is a direc- tor of the University Life Insurance Company. In most cases, the office held, in addition to the official one, is that of director in an insurance office. Plurality of director- ships are not infrequent. Banking and other joint-stock pursuits have not been overlooked. THE Two RusslA.NGuNs taken at Bomarsundhav e arrived in Paris. They are of bronze, and of small calibre, as the diameter of one is only 15 centimetres, and of the other 16 centimetres (about 6 inches) ; their length is not quite a metre. They have on them the following inscription in Russian :—" St. Petersburgh, 1811," and "St. Petersburgh, 1807." The carriages present nothing worth notice. These guns are intended for the MarinjMuseum. EXPULSION OF THE JESUITS FROM SPAIN.—The go- vernment has ordered the Jesuits, 80 in number, who are established at Loyola, in the Basque Provinces, to proceed immediately to Malorca. They, however, refuse to obey, on the pretext that nothing is prepared for such ajourney. If they resist they will be expelled by force, and all the ministers will approve of such a measure. The reason of their expulsion is that they have made themselves the most active agents in Carlist conspiracies. NEW PLANETS.—Two new planets have been discovere at Paris ; one by M. Goldschmidt, a private gentleman, in the night of the 27th ult. ; the other by M. Chacornac, of the Imperial Observatory, in the night of the 28th ult. The former, which is like a star of the 10th and 11th mag- nitude, has received the name of Pomona; the latter, which appears of the 9th or 10th magnitude, that of Polymnia. DISCOVERY OF A STALACTITE CAVE.—At a spot near to Oytermouth Castle, in Swansea Bay, is a small lime- stone quarry and kiln, occupied by a man named Joseph Davis. In excavating the rock, the occupier came upon a crevice, which shortly widened into a cave, and, on entering -it, it was found to be beautifully ornamented with stalactites hanging from the roof and sides. The cave is sufficiently large for a person to enter it and pass to the end ; but it is thought to extend further than the discoveries which have been hitherto made. BRITIBII GOLD.—An Englishman and a Prussian got into a quarrel at the gaming-table, which ended in a chal- lenge from one of the parties, and an arrangement for a duel to come OF next morning •, arms chosen, pistols ; dis- tance, ten paces. Arrived on the ground, lots were drawn for the first fire, which the Englishman won, and missed his antagonist. The Prussian made ready to return the shot, but at the moment when he levelled his weapon— " Stop, stop r' cried the Englishman, " I'll buy your shot !" At the strange proposal the Prussian adversary was for a moment fixed in astonishment, but on reflection concluded that the "little affair " might be so arranged. The Englishman was rich—the Prussian a dead shot,' so the chance was valued at 25,000 francs, which John Bull paid down with great good humour, and a moment after- wards, seller and buyer retraced their steps to town, mutually charmed with the little adventure. EXTRAORDINARY PROJECTILES.—We read in a com- munication from Marseilles as follows : On Friday the Byzantine took on board, in addition to troops, 3,000,000 of ball cartridges and 20 chests of a projectile lately in- vented at Metz, and which produces an immense effect at the enormous distance of 7,200 yards. They arrived at Marseilles under charge of an officer of artillery from Metz, who will make a trial of them against the Russians at Sebastopol, should that fortress hold out until their arrival. The officer who invented these rockets was not aware of the greattffeet until they were tried in presence of a military commission appointed for that purpose. When the Emperor was informed of the new invention, he com- manded that a considerable quantity should be manufac- tured for the siege of Sebastopol; but it appears that there is a certain difficulty in preparing them, and that, even when all hands in the laboratory at Metz were em- ployed night and day,they could only produce forty in the twenty-four hours. THE TIMBER TRIM 'AND THE WAR.—Timber-laden ships from Quebec and other ports of our North-American colonies continue to arrive in the river Thames and dis- charge in the various docks, 'contrary to the notices which were issued by the dock companies a few weeks since, stating that on account of the excessively crowded state of the docks no timber-laden ships would be admitted. The quays of some of the docks are now so crowded with timber and deals as to occasion the utmost inconvenience and danger to those connected with shipping. Our large timber merchants and builders, speculating for a fall in the price of timber, have not as yet availed themselves of the over- stocked market, and as it is known that a number of ships are now on their passage to England, freighted with Nort- h timber, the docks, in all probability, will be encumbered for some time with it, unless its consignees clear their cargoes at builders' and timber merchants own terms. The cause of this influx is strangely brought about by the war: it appears that so many of our English ships have been taken up by Government, and the requirements of the public service call for still further tonnage, for the transport of troops and stores to the East, as to cause a scarcity of English ships for emigration and mercantile purposes, the result of which is that London freights are inordinately high, and charterers, in many instances, have had to defer exporting heavy cargoes. The deal season being over in America caused an excess of tonnage there, and North-American shipowners, finding there was a deficiency of ships here, despatched their idle craft to the London and Liverpool freight-market ; but, not wishing to sail with empty bottoms, no cargo was more ready to hand than their native timber, and hence so many ships freighted with it to the port of London.— The Builder. NOVEL USE OF INDIA RIIDDER.—On Saturday last, Mrs. Zilpah Robinson presented herself between the castle gates for admittance, on the pretence of paying a visit to her husband, at present imprisoned therein for debt. Whether her increased matron-like appearance, or the keen scent of an old teetotal turnkey, was the reason why such a step was taken, did not appear in the evidence sub- sequently taken, but a message was immediately sent for a female monitor to come and subject Mrs. Robinson to strict search. In spite of her indignant refusal, a search was made, when, beneath the bosom of her dress was found one of Charles Macintosh's patent air cushions, filled with rum. Any one acquainted with these articles so extensively used by travellers in second-class carriages, will know that at one corner of them is affixed a little screw tap, by which means the air is forced in or expelled. The tap, in the present instance, was so situated, that if Mrs. Robinson had taken a little child and held it to her bosom, it would have been difficult to tell whether it was imbibing ram or milk. However, none of the luckless inhabitants of John o'Gaunt's old palace, who resort to every expedient to "drive dull care away," were destined to partake of the nourishing stream which, without the smallest attempt at sentimentalism, might be said to flow from Mrs. Robinson's generous bosom. A statement of the circumstances was laid before E. G. Hornby, Esq.. who ordered Mrs. Zilpah Robinson to pay a fine of £lO, or be imprisoned six weeks. The money was not forth- coming, so she was committed to "durance vile," and Chas. Macintosh's patent air cushion, " specially designed for use in second-class carriages," ogether with the rum it contained at the time of seizure, is hung up among the curiosities of the Gateway Tower of Her Majesty's gaol, the Castle of Lancaeter,—.Lancaster, Gazette.

This ---___ THE EMPEROR LOUIS NAPOLEON has given orders to build six theatres at the camp of Boulogne, and four at St. Omer; all the expenses to be defrayed from his private rumour appeared to give satisfaction. A SIGN OF THE TIMES.-The New York Herald re- lates that the mobocracy of Ellsworth fell on Mr. Bassett, a Romish priest, tarred and feathered, add rode him on a rail. The cause of this violence we have not ascertained. GUANO DrscovEur.—The St. Thomas Tidende, dated Oct. 25, says that in the island of Ayes guano had been discovered. It is heaped up in mounds computed to con- tain some three or four hundred thousand tons, answering purse. RAILWAY COMPETITION.

LONGEVITY IN CANADA. --- At the time of takin the census, there were in Upper Canada, aged 100 and over, 14 males and 19 females. The Oldest was Captain Jam, an Indian residing in Alnwick, whose age is stated at 120 ; and his wife, also then living, had attained the in quality to that taken on the Chincha Islands. Captain Wheeler claimed the guano on the island, by right of having first disvovered SMoKE CONSUMPTION.—An order has been issued in Paris by the prefect of police that, within a delay of six months from this time, all proprietors of manufactories where steam-engines are used, are either to consume their smoke or confine themselves to burning coke.

Mousz.—A silversmith, named Bennett, re- siding in Bilbury-street, Plymouth, has, for the last month, had in his possession a mouse which sings like a bird. The little songster generally tunes its pipe in the evening, between eight and nine o'clock, and often con- tinues for a couple of hours together. Another mouse of similar musical predilections is also a denizen of Mr. Ben- nett's kitchen, but, with becoming prudence, it has hitherto declined to follow any of the wiles employed by the silver- to the Queen. DEATH OF A MAN IN THE 103RD YEAR OF HIS AGE.— Philip Robinson died in the Rye Union Workhouse, on Saturday, Nov. 11, in the 103rd year of his age. He was born in Cambridgeshire, on the 28th of May, 1752. He remained with his sight, voice, and hearing, unimpaired, free from pain, cheerful and happy, with his Bible and his pipe, until Saturday last, when the poor old matchman died.—Brighton Gazette.

The right hon. gentleman is at present in Paris.—Civil Service Gazette. THE LATE MAYOR OF BIRMINGHAM.—At a dinner given lately to Mr. James Baldwin, papermaker, late Mayor of Birmingham, that gentleman said, " Very few had more reason to be thankful to Birmingham than he had, for, having come to that town a poor boy, an ordinary amount of industry, and a conscientious desire to discharge the duties of a citizen and a tradesman, were the only qualities that had sufficed to raise him to the position of their chief magistrate, and, to find amongst the company, whose guest he was, two gentlemen for whose father he had driven the plough." MIDDLETON HOUSE, the Oxfordshire mansion of the Earl of Jersey, was in imminent dancer of destruction from fire on the night of the Bth instant. The floor beams under the fire-place of Lady Clementina Villiers's bed- chamber took fire, and the floor itself was nearly ignited when it was discovered and extinguished. The furniture in the chamber, and in those under it, was considerably damaged. CRIMINAL INFORMATION AGAINST A. COUNTY COURT JUDGE.—The Court of Queen's Bench granted a rule, on Thursday, calling on Mr. Marshall, the judge of the County Court of Wakefield, to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against him, on the ground that he had maliciously excluded a barrister, named Shaw, whom he suspected of being the author of a report in the Wakefield Examiner, from practising in his court. way of one of the dykes. A vast extent of ground is under several feet of water, many houses are undermined, and choice gardens totally submerged.

Government of Canada is a coalition composed of Old ---...-- CANADIAN POLITICS are a curious study. The present Tories and French Radicals ; and the first acts. of the new Parliament have been to pass, by immense majorities, 1, a Ministerial Bill for the confiscation and distribution of the Clergy Reserves ; 2, an edition of the Maine Liquor Law in its most stringent form. What may we expect next from Sir Allan McNab P—London Guardian. THE NSW YORK CRYSTAL PALACE was closed on the 31st ult. In noticing the fact, the Herald says : —" It lived a miserable existence, and died a lingering death. It was a speculation, however, upon which, though many have lost money, some must have realised a little. The stock, which, about the time of the inauguration under the auspicies of President Pierce and half his Cabinet, was inflated to 175 per cent., had fallen yesterday to 1 1.4, being a decline of 75 per cent. premium to 98 3-4 per cent. discount. An awful fall. FRANKLIN'S FATE.—In 1850 the Admiralty offered a reward, which is still outstanding, of £lO,OOO " to any party, or parties, who, in the judgment of the board, shall, by virtue of his or their efforts, first succeed in ascertaining the fate of the crews of the Erebus and Terror." This fact ought to be made known through the remote regions of the Hudson's Bay territories, and thus cause a search to be made on the North American shores or elsewhere which may yield positive information. A LADY. TRAINER.—A letter from Paris says :—" In consequence of the success obtained by Madame Isabelle in breaking in horses for the army, 'the Minister of War lately authorised her to proceed officially, before a com- mission, composed of general and superior officers of cavalry, with General Regnault de St. Jean d'Angely at their head, to a practical demonstration of her method on a certain number of young cavalry horses. After 20 days' training the horses were so perfectly broken in that the minister no longer hesitated to enter into an arrangement with Madame Isabelle to introduce her system into all the Imperial schools of cavalry, begining with that of Saumur. The advantages of this system appear to be these—to train the horses without fatiguing them ; to diminish greatly the number of restive horses ; to lessen the number of accidents; to train any number of horses at the same time; and to lessen considerably the expense." The way to accomplish these objects is evidently a secret worth MR. BRIGHT AND HIS CONSTITUENTS.—During the week placards have been issued in Manchester, callinc, on the constituents to resent the insinuations against the British soldier, contained in Mr. Bright's letter to Mr. Watkins. We understand it is also in contemplation to present a requisition, calling on him to resign his seat _ _ SYMPTOMS or A WINTER CAMPAIGN.—It is said that contracts were accepted on Friday by the 'War-office for wooden houses for the army in the Crimea. The houses are to be of a size sufficient to accommodate twenty men in each house, and on the whole are to provide lodgings for 20,000 men. So pressing are the authorities in en- forcing expedition on the contractors, that the latter have undertaken to have 200 ready for shipment on Monday.— Standard. EXPLOSION OF GUNPOWDER.—On the morning of Wed- nesday last, at a very early hour, a frightful explosion of gunpowder took place in a gun-shop in High-street, Bel- fast. The explosion was of a most formidable character, and blew out the entire front of the shop in which it took place, together with that of the shop adjoining. The pro- prietrix of the gun-shop, Mrs. Nicholl, was killed by the explosion, and her remains were found in course of the day in a dreadfully-mangled state. Several other persons were seriously injured. MUNIFICENT BEQUESTS.—The will of the late John Hinchliff, Esq., late of Notting-hill, has just been proved, by which he has bequeathed the following sums in stock for charitable purposes, payable after the decease of his widow, now in her 89th year, viz.: Indigent Blind So- ciety, £1,000; Deaf and Dumb Society, £1,000; London Truss Society, £l,OOO ; Journeymen Tailors' Society, £1,000; Asylum for Idiots, £l,OOO ; 'Westminster Hospital, £1,000; Charing-cross Hospital, £1,000; Middlesex Hos- pital, £1,000; London Fever Hospital, £1,000; St. Mary's Hospital, £1,000; Cancer Hospital, £1,000; Magdalen Hospital, £l,OOO ; Lock Hospital, £l,OOO ; Houseless Poor Society, £500; Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, £5OO. - knowing. WANT OF LABOUR IN CANADA..—In a recent letter Sir C. P. Roney says, speaking of Canada, " We have had here a singularly prosperous year, but the sudden failures in the timber and shipping trade at Liverpool have produced very serious effects at Quebec. With this exception every- thing is of the brightest in Canada; our greatest want being emigration. The government of Canada has just appointed a commission to secure a proper representation of the products and resources of the province at the Paris Exhibition next year, and parliament is about to vote £lO,OOO for the purpose ; so we are determined not to be behind hand in our efforts to shine at the ' World's Fair.' " Everybody who knows, and who does not know, Sir C. P. Roney will be able to give their due weight to the remark respecting emigration. Sir O. P. Roney is himself en- gaged in extending railways in Canada, and he finds the only bar to their quicker progress the want of labour. Therefore he is enabled to speak with confidence on the subject.—Hull Advertiser ECONOMY IN THE USE or GILL/co.—lt is always well to mix the guano, before being applied to the soil, with common salt or charcoal, on account of the power which they possess of attracting moisture in dry seasons from the atmosphere. I have seen a mixture of the two of about three times the quantity of these to one part of guano attended with the most important results as regards increase of crop. As it must ever be an object to econo- mise the use of this valuable and expensive manure, the admixture of it with superphosphate and salt cannot be too strongly recommended ; not only does the former of these make the guano go much further, but, on account of its fixing the ammonia, both are improved in value. The better plan is to mix them together a few days before they are applied to the soil. SAMUEL'PARR.—Agricultural Gazette. WASTE LANDS.—This term comprehends all grounds that are unfit to bring crops to maturity by reason of the natural constitution of the soil, or by the adversity of the climate. Little control can be exercised over the latter element. In some few cases only has au alteration been effected on the climate of any country where an obvious influence has arisen from terrestrial conditions. Some benefit has been derived by draining and clearing; but, in general, the effects of climate are beyond control. On the other hand, the most valuable and lasting alterations are possible with the soil. Good lands are rendered profitable by means of cultivation ; indifferent soils are raised into value by application of energy and durable aid, while very poor lands are usable in a way that yields some degree of remuneration for the expenditure of time and capital. Experience very soon determines the altitude or elevation of position above the sea at which grain crops can be matured into ripeness. Green crops, will grow at a much higher elevation • but as the two kinds of crops must be combined, the cultivation ceases with the ripening of grain crops. (?) Below that mark of elevation, no lands may remain uncultivated, except where the formation of the surface prohibits all convenience of operation. Wherever a railway station is located, dwellings are placed and gar- dens are formed, by which it is shown that deep digging of the soil, whatever it may be, and constant manuring, produces a fruitful ground, which soon becomes a source of easy profit. The most obdurate clay, the most arid chalk, the most hungry sand, and the most barren heath, are seen to be converted by these simple means into fruit- ful soils. J. D.—Agricultural Gazette. A HINT TO TRAVELLERS IN GERMANY.-011r country- men travelling on the Continent cannot be too frequently cautioned that the commissionaires of all hotels are under the immediate control of the police, to whom they are bound to give daily report of the strangers whom they show about the place, or whose errands they execute. The power of a president of police is above and beside the written law, and our constitutional ideas of the liberty of the subject have little or no place in his considerations. Where strangers therefore indulge in disrespectful lan- guage against the head of the State, or manifest a curio- sity about the persons of deMocraticleaders or the scenes of revolutionary excesses, they may chance to find them- selves exposed to many disagreeables, even to a removal across the frontier. Diplomatic reclamation can never procure an indemnity for these annoyances, which, how- ever, are easy to avoid by • abstaining from affording the occasion. The great number of thefts that have lately taken place of money letters, the majority of which come from England, render it necessary to be cautions always to register all letters with money enclosures. Subaltern officials of the post, with salaries varying from £45 to £6O per annum, cannot be expected to withstand the tempta- tion of pocketting heavily-weighted letters not entered in their list of money letters. The long passage of the tra- velling post-office from Cologne to Berlin offers an admirable opportunity for the perpetration of these embez- zlements. It was only last month that an assistant sorter was arrested at Minden, with 3,000 thalers about him, the produce of letters that he had secreted and the con- tents of which he had appropriated. That this was no isolated instance in this person's practice was evidenced by his being provided with a loaded four-barrelled revolver. MATRIMONIAL ALLIANCE ASSOCIATION. Lawrence Cuthbert, secretary of the above society, was charged, on Monday, at Bow-street Police-office, London, with assault- ing i r. Edwardes, the landlord -of a private hotel in Norfolk-street, Strand. It appeared that a young gentle- man, residing in complainant's house, had met with one of the advertisements of the association, and was tempted to good-looking lady, with whom he was soon on l'ectionate regard, and who informed him that pay no less than £25, when they parted; but another interview, to be arranged through When the young gentleman called again William Wilkinson, Esq.

Three candi- dates were proposed, namely, Mr. Disraeli, M. P., by the Conservatives ; Mr. Thomas Carlyle, by the Liberals ; and the Duke of Argyll by the Presbyterian section of both parties. Mr. Carlyle was withdrawn at a late hour, when the students went to the vote on the two other candidates, and the result was, that the Duke of Argyll was elected by a majority in all the nations. The state of the vote was as follows :—Argyll, 299 ; Disraeli, 147. A protest was taken against the validity of the duke's election, on the ground that his grace is Chancellor of the University of St. An- drew's, and that it is therefore illegal to hold office in two colleges. NOT ONE WOMAN OR CHILD SA.VED.—The New York Express denounces in these strong terms, the dastardly conduct of the Arctic's crew :—" In that fearful struggle were many helpless women and children, but their pitiful appeals for life were unheeded by the robust cowards who had stolen the boats, and turned their backs upon those 'whom it was their duty to preserve, or at least endeavour to preserve. Oh ! what a manly spectacle that mist have been ! Hardy, rough-handed, broad- shouldered, strong-framed men accustomed to a business, too, the constant hazard of which, one would naturally think, deadens, in some degree, everything like personal fear—men like these treacherously deserting feeble and delicate women, and shutting their ears to cries from little children, that should have touched hearts of adamant. It is enough to make us all ashamed of humanity, and envy the better nature of the beasts of the field. Not one woman saved ! Not one child !—at least we have, at Themoment we write, no assurance of the fact." POLITICAL FEELING IN Rou.—The events of the war occupy the attention of all classes in Rome, and there can be no doubt about universal sympathy for the allies. The Papal Goveinment looks with jealousy on the ambi- tious designs of Pope Nicholas, and remembers the cruel- ties to which Roman Catholics have been exposed in the dominions of the Czar. Not long since the Cabinet of St. Petersburg sent a special envoy to the Court of Rome, em- powered to make new propositions concerning the Holy Places, of a conciliatory nature ; but the Pope replied that, under existing circumstances, he must leave the question entirely in the hands of the Western Powers, and parti- cularly France. It is generally understood that, ere long, a large number of the French garrison, now in Rome, will leave for the East. The number of French troops here is about 7,000—certainly more than necessary for public tranquillity. Yet the Pontifical Government has no wish to be left without them. The position of the Pope and his government is beyond measure difficult. The Austrian army in Bologna consists of 12,000 men, who are paid by the Pontifical revenue. This force alone absorbs a large portion of the resources of the country, and is ever a source of jealousy to French vanity. Yet the Pope has neither the wish, the power, nor the decision to get rid of them. Another element in this distracted country is the Repub- lican or Mazzini party, which is, no doubt, both powerful and numerous. The triumvir is not! nearly so popular in Italy as he was. The affair of Parma has been very much blamed by the sensible Liberal party in Rome, who are becoming more practicable and moderate in their views. The one subject on which all men unite is the utter inabi- lity of priests performing ministerial lay offices, and the consequent desire to see the executive in the hands of those who would be able to administer law, and work govern- ment machinery, without that spiritual bias which makes the churchman a bad statesman and useless divine. The political state of Rome is altogether most complicated.— Morning Post. NOMINATION OP SHERIPPS.—On Monday, the annual nomination of sheriffs for the various counties of England and Wales, with the exception of Middlesex, Cornwall, and Lancaster, took place in the Court of Exchequer, Westminster. The Chancellor of the Exchequer presided at the meeting of the Lords of the Privy Council, held for the purpose, and wore his gold robe of office. The names of the following gentlemen were agreed to as liable to serve the office of sheriff for the ensuing year for the counties mentioned, respectively : Cumberland.—Thomas S.

THE BALTIC FLEET, KIEL, 13TH NOVEMBER.—Before another week has passed away the Russian fleet will be completely frozen in, both at Sweaborg and Cronstadt. The English fleet will, therefore, on being apprised of that fact through the medium of one of the ships under the orders of Capt. R. Watson, leave this port en route for England. The fleet remain in a state of complete inactivity, awaiting orders for its departure for England. Every ship is complete in provisions, stores, and necessaries up to the termination of the present year. Every possible opportunity is afforded to the officers of visiting the various towns of Germany which possess objects of interest. Very many have gone to Hamburg, and some to Berlin, while others were content to spend the leave allowed to them in

REINFORCEMENTS FOR THE ARMY LIVERPOOL. —After the first excitement created by the war had subsided, the Government appeared to act on the ordinary principle which actuates small minds in the conduct of great affairs ; and, having incur- red a large expenditure for the conveyance of troops and stores to Turkey, suddenly drew in, and, by a system of cheese-paring and candle-end economy, avoided the engagement of the best class of ships for the transport of forces and the munitions of war. .The pro- tracted contest in the Crimea has, however, opened their eyes to the folly, if not worse, of such a course of proceed- ing, and vessels of character are now sought after by them with avidity. The Canadian Company's screw- steamer Charity, 1,100 tons, Captain Paton, sailed hence for Woolwich, on Thursday, where she will embark a siege train of heavy guns, ordnance stores, and artillerymen. Captain Broughton's company of Royal Artillery (150 rank and file, with five officers), arrived here from Wool- wich, at six o'clock on Friday morning, and were billeted in different parts of the town. On Saturday morning they embarked on board the splendid Cunard pad- dle-steamer Europa, Capt. Leitch, and sailed in the afternoon for Kingstown, where she will take on board the 90th Regi- ment, 850 strong, and detachments from other regiments. These members of the artillery corps were equipped with more than ordinary attention to. efficiency. They were armed with light muskets, of longer range than those previously supplied to this arm of the service; and their cutlasses were encased in steel scabbards. The officers have been also furnished with skull-shaped helmets, pro- tected from the effects of sword-cuts on the crown by semi-circular brass crests. The Europa will convey about 1,080 troops to the. Crimea, in the best possible condition. The Niagara, belonging also to the Cunard line, and which conveyed the Connaught Rangers (88th) to the seat of of war, has been taken up for the service ; and, in con- sequence, there will be no mail despatched to Halifax and Boston on Saturday next. It is not yet known what troops the Niagara will take this time—most likely they will be French. The ship British Lion, of about 500 to 600 tons (Finnish built, but with a British register,) has been taken up to convey a cargo of hay hence to the Crimea. The new large iron screw-steamer Im- peratrice, recently built by Mr. John Laird, of Birkenhead, for the South American and General Steam Navigation Company, has been engaged by the Admiralty agent at Liverpool, Captain Bevis, R.N. Notices are posted in the Exchange Newsroom, for tenders for steamers for the conveyance of troops. These have elicited a number of tenders, most of which have been rejected as too high. The mail companies are, however, endeavour- ing to meet the emergency, and it is expected that a fine fleet of ocean steamers will be prepared at Liverpool for the pressing wants of the Government. Recruit- ing for both services is making rapid progress; the number of volunteer soldiers in this town being, on the average, 150 per day. On Thursday 170 recruits were " passed." Captain J. A. Stewart has arrived in Liver- pool, from Bolton, with a party of Royal Marines, in order to recruit for the Chatham division of that corps. Each. of the regiments now proceeding to the seat of war will take out an abundant supply of warm winter clothing, and large quantities have been sent out to those regi- ments already in the Crimea. OTHER REINFORCEMENTS.—The following infantry bat- talions (says the Daily News) will constitute the rein- forcements to be despatched immediately to the Crimea:— The Ist Battalion of Grenadier Guards ; the 34th Regiment, now at Corfu ; the 62nd Regiment, from Malta ; the 71st Highland Light Infantry, from Corfu ; the 90th Light Infantry, from Dublin; the 97th Regiment, from Athens. The battalion of the Guards will be attached to Major- General Bentinck's brigade, which will then consist of four battalions; but, in point of number, it will not differ much from the other infantry brigades. There will thus be left on home service the 2nd battalion of each of the three regiments of Foot Guards, which may be looked upon as so many dep6ts to keep up the war battalions to their effective strength. The five battalions of the line mentioned above will be joined by the 68th Light Infantry, which is now in the Crimea, but is not attached perma- nently to any division. These six battalions will be formed into the fifth division of the British army, and as three of the regiments are light, the 68th, 71st, and 90th will probably constitute a Light Infantry Brigade. We believe no arrangement has been yet made as •to the command of this . division, but it is not unlikely that Colonel Lock.yer, of the 97th, who held a command at Chobham, and Colonel Denny, of the 71st, will be the Brigadier-Generals. As regards the cavalry, an arrangement has been come to, different from what was originally intended. Instead of sending out the cavalry regiments on home service, as regiments, the effective men of those corps will be incorporated with the regiments now in the Crimea, so as to bring them up to such a strength as a cavalry regiment in time of war should possess. With the exception of the King's Dra- goon Guards, our cavalry regiments of the line consist of six troops of forty-five men each, the regimental staff and officers making up the entire number to over 300. Each cavalry regiment in the Crimea will be made up to eight troops of seventy-five men each, or 600 in the whole, be- sides the regimental staff. The officers of the cavalry regiments at home will not be transferred to those abroad, but will remain with their own corps, and will be usefully employed in keeping up au effective supply of trained men and horses to the regiments abroad. Owing to recent losses the ten cavalry regiments now in the Crimea cannot be said to muster 1,000 men. When the new arrangements are carried into effect they will be increased by 5,000 men, and from the regiments at home there will be no difficulty in at once supplying 2,000 of this number. The Hannibal, 90-gun, and the Curacoa, 31-gun screw ships, left on Tuesday for. the Black Sea. The Indiana has just arrived at Southampton, and has received instructions to get in immediate preparation ; she can take 1,400, and will start to Toulon to ship them in two or three days. The Royal Albert, 121 guns, three- decker, is ready for sea, and is about to convey a battalion of Foot Guards and the whole of their equipments to the Crimea. This splendid ship will have nearly 2,000 men on board on her first trip. - Orders have been received at the Royal William Victualling-yard, Plymouth, for the ship- ment of 150,0001 b. of salt pork and 200,0001 b. of salt beef on board transports for the forces in the East. A contract for 2,000 quarters of wheat has been taken at the Royal Clarence Victualling Establishment, Gosport, at an average of 765. Bd. per quarter. THE FRENCH CONTlNGENT.—Respecting the reinforcements, the Globe says, " We have alread tioned in the Globe the formation of a 6th divisio French ty men- commanded by General Rahe, who will have under his orders Generals Meyran, and Bazaline. This division will be reinforced by the 6th battalion of the Chasseurs-h-pied, and two batteries of the Bth Regiment of Artillery. These troops will be embarked in the 'course of a weel seilles. In addition, the French Government has on the immediate formation of a 7th and Sth div be thus composed :-7th division, commanded by Dulac ; Ist Brigade, General de Bousingen ; 17 talion of Chasseurs-a-pied ; 10th Regiment o: Infantry_ 97th Regiment of the Line ; 2nd General I3isson ; 10th and 61st Regime' two batteries of the 7th and 11th Regime a company of the 3rd Regiment of Engi] ment of Gendarmes.

THE HEROES OF THE DAY. Colonel Darby Griffith was slightly wounded in the- head by a ball. He was taken into Balaklava, when the wound was dressed, and in the afternoon he again took the command of his gallant regiment. Major Clarke, upon whom the command devolved, in the absence of Colonel Darby Griffith, received a sabre cut in the back of the neck, which did not. however, prevent him from keeping to his horse. The latter, by the way, reeeived from the same sabre which had wounded his master, a fearful slash across the tail joint, which had nearly severed it. Colonel Prendergast was strucli.in the foot by a ball. Great and universal regret was expressed by the whole arrny on learning that Captain Maude had unfortunately received two desperate wounds. Whenever a dashing deed was to be done, Mzude's troop' was selected, and the high-professional reputation which this gallant officer enjoys is most deserved. Captain Maude was wounded in two places, the arm and kg. At first it was feared amputation would be imperative, but since then he has improved so rapidly that no operation will be required, and he may be considered out of danger. He has since left for Scutari. Captain Shakespear, an' able'and activ e took the command of the troop st once, The popular voice has united in ascribing this calamity of the'day to Captain Nolan. If thelatter 'was indeed to blame; he has paid, poor fellow, the 'penalty of his im- petuous' courage. Like many another heroic • officer, he fell on' the field of battle, and in him- were buried the finest rider; and one of the noblest spirits in the'British service: Bid what baffles the understanding- is, in what respect' Captain,Nolan, whose position was merely that of aide-decamp; should thus have proved the unwitting in- strument-of the• Light Brigade's destruction, A sergeant' of • the Scots Greys killed six Russians•with his owrr hanct Our soldiers say the Russians do' not know how to use' their swords. All our losses were oc- casioned by the terrible cross-fire from the • batteries. Major Clarke,'. of the• Scots Greys, much distinguished himself ; and' Lieutenant Hanley, who was knocked, off' his horse, on being attaeked, shot two Russians with his- revolver ; the•third; astonished at the rapidity of the 'fire, and not knowing when it would stop, turned and:fled.

My ilord Diike,—AdVerting to that part of your grace's dispatch of the 10th inst., No: 116, in which it is stated that Her Majesty wit be most anxious to receive such further accounts from me as may tend to relieve the affectionate anxiety of thefriends of the wounded, I have the honour to acquaint' your grace that the Inspector general of Hospitals bas'reported, from personal observa- tion, that the majority of 4-be- wounded are making satin factory progress, although there is too much reason to apprehend that, among such at number of severe and dan- gerous injuries, a certain -.proportion of casualties must occur.—l have, &c., - - His Grace the Duke of.nwcastle, &c, RAGLAN No. 94. Before•Sebistopol, Oct. 31, 1854, My Lord Deke,—When • T wrote to your grace on the 28th instant, I'was note in possession of the names of the officers of the (cavalry divisionwho had distinguished them-- selves in the action of the 25th. I have now the honour- to enclose a letter from Lieut.-General the Earl of Lucars, containing the list of those whose services- entitle them, to be specially mentioned,. and I beg leave to recommendsthem to your grace's notice.. In the dispatch:to which I'aboverefer, I had the honour to draw your grace's attention. to the conduct of Major- General the Earl' of Cardigan and the Hon. Brigadier General Scarlett_ I omitted in my -dispatch of the 28th September to state that when, in thebattle•of Alma, Lieutenant-Colonel Webber Smith was -obliged, in consequence of being se- verely wounded, to leave• the field, Major Champion assumed the charge -of• the 95th, which your grace will recollect was one of the regiments that suffered the most ; and he gained great' credit by the way in which he con- ducted the command. _ I am glad of the opportunity to repair this omission. I stated to your grace of the 28th inst. that Major Dalton, of the 49tkbacl been killed in the trenches; thin was an error; the officer whose loss the service has to deplore is Major Powell, of the same regiment. I deep* regret that this mistake should have occurred. I have, &c., His Grace the Duke of Newcastle, &c.• RAGLAN. (Enclosure. iu Despatch No. 94.) Before Sebastopol, Oct. 30, Sir,—ln reference to my report of the action before Balakiava, on the 25th. inst., I have now the honeurto submit the names of< officers who, on that occasion,. well entitled themselves tuthe. notice of the Commander of the Forces, and for whom.

Fel- lowes, 11th Lancers, Deputy-Assistant Quartermaster- General, Cavalry Division.—l have, &c., (Signed) LUCAN, LieutTGeneral Commanding Cavalry. Division. The Military Secretary, &c. No. 96z Before Sebastopol,lNov. 3, 1854. My Lord=Duke,—Since I wrote to, your grace on the 28th ultimo, the enemy have considerably increased their force in the Valley of the Tschernaya,, both in artillery, cavalry,- and infantry, and have extended:to their left, not only occupying the village of Camara, but the heights beyond it, and pushing forward picquets and even guns towards our extreme right; and, these yesterday fired a few shots, apparently to try the range, which fell some- what short. These movements have induced me to place as strong a ibree as I can dispose of on the precipikous ridge in that direction, in order to prevent any Attempt to get round to Balaklava by the sea; and the•whole line is strengthened by a breastwork, which has heen thrown up by the High- land• Brigade, the Royal Marines, and the Turkish troops, thus circumscribing that part of the position ; whilst im. mediately in front of the gorge• leading into the town a•. strong redoubt is in course of being completed, which is, to be garrisoned by the 93rd Regiment, and armed with several guns ; and on high ground behind, and to the left, is a battery manned by seamen, which terminates thepo. sition to be defended by the troops under the command of Major-General Sir Colin Campbell. Further to the left, and in a more elevated position, is the brigade of the Ist French Division, commanded by General Vinois, ready to move to the assistance of any of the British force that may be assailed, and maintaining the connexion between the troops in the valley and-those on the ridge on which the maih armies are posted. The harbour of.Balaklava is under the charge of Captain Dacres, of the Sanspareil ; and Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons is in the roadstead outside, and is in daily commu- nication with me. Thus every possible step has been taken to secure this important point; but I will not conceal from your grace that I should be more satisfied if I couldhave occupied the position in considerably greater strength. With reference to.the operations of' the combined armies engaged in the attack on Sebastopol, I have the honour to state, that there is no material diminution in the enemy's fire, and yesterday morning, two hours before daylight, the cannonade from all parts of the, south front was heavy in the extreme, both on the French, and British lines, and it occasioned, I deeply regret to say, some loss, but less than might have been expected under the circumstances. In the meanwhile the French, who have before them the town and real body of the place, have taken advantage of the more favourable ground, and are carrying on ap- proaches systematically on the most salient and command- ing part of the enemy's lines ; and they have constructed and opened batteries, the precision of the fire from which has most materially damaged the Russian works, although as yet they have not succeeded in silencing their guns. The weather is still fine, but it has become extremely cold, and there was a severe frost last night. I beg to submit to your grace the nominal returns of casualties amongst the non-commissioned officers and rank and file from the 22nd October to the Ist November, both days inclusive, and a list of officers killed and wounded lery. an exce viipoau► luauue, or toe _horse Dfficer, is, I am assured, doing well. I likewise enclose the naval return of casualties.— I have &c. RAGLAN. OCTOBER TO IST NOVEMBER, BOTH DAYS INCLUSIVE 2, 1854. 25th October.—Royal Artillery.—Captain G. A.

INDIA OVERLAND MAIL. The Overland Mail has brought intelligence from Cal- cutta to the sth, and from Bombay to the 14th of October. From the summary of the Bombay Times we extract the following :—" The expedition sent out for the destruc- tion of the villages on the Peshawar frontier appear to have finished their work successfully, and they have now returned to camp. Overtures are being made, it is said, by the Ameer of Cabal to regain our friendship—the fatal error committed by him of invading the Panjaub in 1849, has destroyed our confidence in his judgment as well as in his influence amongst his own people, and half a century will not be sufficient to restore us to the terms ozx which we stood with Affghanistan up to 1837, if such a thing should ever indeed be possible. A party of the Russians are said to have taken Kokan, a petty and bar- barous principality on the borders of Bokhara. Whether they amount to ten, a hundred, or ten-thousand does not appear, and the matter in no way concerns us. The re- ports of Russian intrigue and agression obviously emanate from the Russians themselves—they increase their im- portance by alarming the timid and credulous—they gra. tify the appetite for the marvellous and obtain employ- ment for the native politicals and spies who disseminate them. No one would have greater cause than the Czar to deplore an advance of the Russians upon India, which would dispel the delusion he wishes to maintain that we are vulnerable and that he could harm us." In the Nizam's country there have been considerable disturbances, necessitating extreme measures against a thousand Rohillah mercenaries in the employment of a refractory chief. Every opportunity seems to have been given these desperadoes to disperse, but they refused, and brought signal punishment on their own heads. It is reported that the Governor-General intends to visit Madras and the Neilgherries in December or January, and retire early in spring from an office he has adminis- tered so greatly to his own honour and the public advan- tage. It is said he will be succeeded by Lord Elgin, of whom the highest hopes are entertained. . . . The sittings of the Sarawak Commission have closed. Sir James Brooke has been fully and honourably acquitted of all the charges brought against him. His slanderers refused to appear as witnesses, and some of those who subscribed the petition confessed that they knew nothing as to the truth or falsehood of the statements contained in it. This bottle of smoke will cost the country some £lO,OOO or £15,000. ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGIZNCR PREFERMENTS AND APPOINTMENTS. Rev. W.

SANDBACH CHURCHYARD. -- The Bishop of Chester consecrated the piece of land added to the churchyard of the Parish Church of Sandbach, in the county of Chester, on Friday last, the 17th instant. A sermon was preached by his lordship on the occasion, after which a collection was made in aid of the fund for paying off the debt incurred by the restoration of the church, a portion of which still remains undischarged, and the sunr. of £57 and upwards was collected. WE (Morning Chronicle) understand that it has been determined to move for a prohibition in the case of the proceedings instituted by the Archbishop of Canterbury against Archdeacon Denison. -THE CONVOCATION of the Prelates and Clergy of the province of Canterbury was on Friday prorogued in the Jerusalem Chamber, Westminster, pursuant to the Queen's writ, by the Vicar-General, under a commission from his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, Primate and Metropolitan, to Friday, December 15. THE BRAINTRER CIICTECII-IiATE U.A.SE.-Au apytuatO the clergy and laity of the Established Church has just been made by Archdeacons Hale, Sinclair, Jones, and Grant, with the object of obtaining money to reimburse Mr. Veley, who conducted the Braintree case on behalf of the pro-rate party through eight suits to final failure. " The cost of these proceedings," says the archdeacons„ " which were protracted from 1837 to 1853, a period of 16 years, amount to £2,378 lls. 4d. After deducting £7OOl the amount of the subscription in 1841, before noticed, it appears that there remains due to Mr. Veley, for money actually advanced, or still to be paid by him, the sum of £1,678 lls. 4d., independent of an outlay of more tharz £2OO for travelling and personal expenses during 130 days spent in the cause, for which sum, be it observed, he has made no claim." The subscription is headed by the Arch- bishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London with moo each; other prelates following with sums ranging betweenc £5O and £2O. THE SOLITUDE OF THE DESEET.-1. foundan unspeak- able fascination in the sublime solitude of the desert. I often beheld the sun rise, when, within the wide ring of the horizon, there was no other living creature to be seen. He came up like a god, in awful glory, and it would libke been a natural act had I cast myself upon the sand and worshipped him. The sudden change in the colouring oE the landscape on his appearance, the lighting up of the dull sand into a warm golden hue, and the tintings of pur- ple and violet on the distant porphyry hills, was a morning miracle, which I never beheld without awe. The richness of this colouring made the desert beautiful; it was toe brilliant for desolation. The scenery, so far from depress- ing, inspired and exhilarated me. I never felt the sensation of physical health and strength in such perfection, and was ready to shout from morning to night from the overfalonty of happy spirits.

A daughter players, Gallini and Lady Ha Sir John ommit the madness of that had much method in it. This lady, the daughter of Lord Rockingham, transacted this matter in the most business way imaginable. She settled a hundred a-year for life on her husband, but directed her whole fortune beside to pass to her children, should she have any ; otherwise, to her own family. She moreover " provided for a separation, and ensured the same pin-money to Da- mon, in case they part." She gave away all her fine clothes and surrendered her titles : "linen and calico gowns," she said, " were properest for a footman's wife and she went to her husbands family in Ireland as plain. Mrs. Henrietta Sturgeon. * * * * * The es- teem of the ladies for their liveried servitors does not ag- ar to have been in all cases reciprocal, if we may believe lace at Leicester House, f Wales, in 1743, when reumstance of His i maids o Duval Hig mod to drive was so sick of them, that 1 pounds upon condition that ever married a maid of hor Dr. Doran is, as might be expected, great in the minutia of attire, and quite an amateur as well as an artist in the mysteries of the toilette, his skill and science in the treatment of both of which he demonstrates in numerous pleasant ways. The modes of salutation which prevail in differ- entplaces,-;nd which have formed .distinguishing characteristics of differing nationalities, form a pleasing topic of discussion in the doctor's mode of handling them. Kissing, of coarse, forms a racy as well as a tempting subject for the treatment of such a practitioner, and, culled by his industrious as well as cunning hand, we have presented to us the observations of several learned authorities on Three foreign t: Hera in England have pleasantl. remarked w lm which would now be con- sidered more honoured in the breach than the observance.
