Major and Co., was that contained in one of Miners, Patent Safes. From the intense nature of t.e fire, and the length of time the Safe was exposed to the action of the lames, I was fully convinced of the destruction of the books and papers it contained ; and feel very great pleasure in testify- ing to this extraordinary instance of their preservation. I may add, that the Safe was placed on the third story, without any protection, where it remained till the floor was burnt around it, when it fell to the SrooHUNTER, m beneath, the floor of which was like- wise destroyed by the fire.—Yours, truly, " " Executor of the late Thomas S.

MILNERS Etb envoi ,-,tattbarb, minds an agony of suspense more harrowing than even the dread reality of evil can inflict: On Wednesday morning, official despatches were received at the War Office from the COMMANDER-IN-ChIEF, and along with these arrived FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT. numerous graphic accounts, drawn up by eye-witnesses, which fully unveil the hideous and sickening details of a struggle, unsurpassed in sanguinary attributes by any recorded in the annals of human strife. The narrative of this terrible yet glorious battle, and its immediate as well as remote consequences, is given with cool and lucid vigour in the manly and terse despatch of Lord RAGLAN ; coolly, calmly as the tale is there told, it is one of a battle- field as bloody—of a conflict as desperate—of a victory as MONDAY MORNING Ilzu MAJESTY and the other members of the Royal Fay are enjoying the quiet seclusion of domestic hap- pness at Windsor Castle, amidst the endearments of the family circle. Tuesday last being the birth-day of the PRINCESS ROYAL, the anniversary was celebrated with the occas: At an early hour in the morning, the band signal, yet as dearly bought—of a triumph of intrepic of the Royal Horse Guards played appropriate music under the windows of the private apartments. The church bells self-sustaining valour, over stubborn and unyielding ani- mal courage, as glorious as any which has yet been graven on the tablets of fame. The historian who in after- times recounts the story of the battle of Inkerman, will require no military science to elucidate his narrative. Stern and terrible as were the incidents, and prodigious as were the acts of valour which crowned the issue of that storm of war, its history embraces few facts connected with war as an art. It was less a battle than a succession of battles, in which each regiment and almost every company of English had its army of Russians to repel and conquer. For a space of time almost incredible, five hundred of the Coldstream Guards kept at bay and finally repulsed more than seven thousand antagonists who fought with the of desperation and the fury of demons. Every - ravine and every hollow—each hill-side, and every rugged pass was the theatre of a separate and sanguinary conflict in which the combants encountered hand to hand in mortal strife. So close in most instances were the combats, that the men having fired once had neither time nor space to reload, bat defended themselves and assailed the enemy with the bayonet or with their musket-buts as clubs. While this death-conflict was going on, so impenetrable were the mist and darkness of the morning, that no officer, even if manoeuvring, could have been made available, could see whence the hostile hordes were issuing against him, or discover to what point the countless battalions of the enemy might be directed. If ever an occasion offered which could fully justify the poet's figurative admiration of chivalrous individual heroism, it was here "Groom.fought like noble, squire like knight, rang merry peals at intervals from early dawn throng,hout the day ; at noon a royal salute was fired ; and in the evening several of the tradespeople Muminated their houses in honour of the event. Among the Royal guests at the Castle is a young Indian PRINCESS or COORG -named GAUROMA, who has been sent to England by her father to be educated in the Christian faith. On Tuesday she walked about the grounds of the Castle in company With HER MAJESTY and the Royal children. She is under the circumstances might be expected, an object of =lnch solicitude and interest to the QUEEN and the Royal household. While enjoying the blessings of domestic security and peace, the chief members of the Royal Family are not forgetful of the hardships of those who are at such peril, and in the face of such privation, upholding the national honour in the entrenchments before Sebastopol, nor negligent in supplying such means for thei comfort as rests within the reach of individual power. At his own cost, Prince ALBERT has ordered a warm fur coat to be furnished to each officer in the Crimea, or about to proceed thither, some of those about to depart having already received the acceptable gift. Another indication of the Boyal attention to the gallantry of our martial achieve- ments in the Crimea is to be found in the promotion of Lord RAGLAN to the rank of Field-Marshal, which was formally announced in the Gazette of Tuesday last. Of the appropriate grace of such an act, at such a time, there an be but one opinion. His Lordship's qualifications as military leader are too well known to require confirma- tion, and of too high an order to receive additional lustre from even such a recognition ; still it is gratifying to witness the honour of our valiant army acknowledged in a befitting compliment to its commander. Descended from a long lineage, noble, if not even princely, in its origin, Lord RAGLAN, through his less remote ancestry, has peculiar claims upon the country of his nativity, and on the Crown by which its institutions are swayed and protected. Sprung from that SOMERSET who, in early life, commanded a little army raised by his father in defence of CHARLES 1., and who afterwards became famous as the first employer of steam power to mechanical Lord RAGLAN possesses at once the prestig of hereditary martial skill and such reflected advan operations as can be derived from the inheritance of scientific fame ; to these adventitious claims upon regard, he adds the yet more important challenge to oar admiration, which is to be found in assiduous industry, directed by profound natural sagacity, counselled by professional wisdom, and aided by extensive military experience. Trained almost from boyhood under the personal tuition of the immortal WELLINGTON, he received his initiatory lessons in the practical application of military science at the celebrated lines of Torres Vedras, and, ere he had completed his twenty-second year, he had won his first chaplet of laurel ,on the plains of Talavera ; at Busaco he was severely wounded, and after participating in every one of the great battles of the Peninsula, he completed the wreath sacred to honour and victory, and perpetuated its verdure,, by sharing in the sufferings and the glories of Waterloo. In 1845 his eldest son perished in the battle of Ferozeshah ; and now, in the sixty-seventh year of his age, the intrepid and dauntless warrior is carrying into effect the military maxims of his great instructor, in firm alliance with those valiant heroes, in opposition to whose fathers he first unsheathed his virgin sword. To promote such a man is scarcely so much to confer an honour as to receive it ; if, however, the act can bestow lustre or receive grace, it will do both by the spontaniety of the compliment, and the ready hail of acquiescence which greets it from every rank and grade of his admiring countrymen. The date of this commission is appropriately fixed from the sth of the present month, the date of the last known victory achieved by the Allied arms. The date of the last known victory achieved by the Allied arms ! How singularly memorable is pression To how many a sonless, husbandless, fatherless, family-circle has that fatal though tri- umphant day given poignant cause for sorrowful remembrance ! The greatest of modern military authori- ties declared, in bitter anguish of heart, that the next greatest calamity to a battle lost, is a victory gained. How truly has this seeming paradox been realised upon the 'heights of Inkerman ! Many days ago, the telegraph, 4o itatripping the winged velocity of evil tidings, brought us rtaliar with the fact that a great and sanguinary conflict ~141 been waged, and a dearly-won victor, axon of heroic deeds ; but, as if in kindly preparation for the direful tale, the catalogue of horrors was but dimly shadowed in the mournful array of perished numbers, leaving the contest between hope and fear to create in many the ex- added to our As tearlessly-and well !" In these frightfnl contests, he who commanded counted for no more than he who served ; and to take one, though not a solitary instance : before the 55th retreated from the two-gun battery, which formed an important point in the English position, it was taken and retaken no leis than five times, having been assailed by Russians who out- numbered its defenders by fifty to one. In one spot, and within five minutes of each other, five English generals fell, three of them, alas ! never to rise. In his despatch, Lord RAGLAN estimates that the Russians had in the field at least sixty thousand men ; the Russian accounts make their numbers about fifty thousand, and to withstand this mighty host, he could only oppose eight thousand English and two thousand French, yet with this handful of men he maintained himself against the repeated and desperate attacks of the enemy, on that terrible Sunday, from five in the morning till eleven. About this period the arrival of four thousand additional French troops turned the tide of hattle, and although the conflict was prolonged till half-past two, its issue was never afterwards doubtful, and shortly after their arrival, the Russians began slowly to retire, yet resolutely contesting every inch of ground, "fighting -as they gave-way, and yielding only to that superiority of moral over physical bravery, which, when displayed as on the present occasion, constitutes the very sublimity of human power and daring. Sixty thousand were here encountered, withstood, repulsed by fourteen thousand men ! The assailants leaving upon the field in killed, wounded, and prisoners, a thousand more than had sufficed to check and drive them back. A more signal illustration of the allied prowess over their barbarous opponents never can or will be given; yet, proud as is the testimony thus borne to our superiority, it has been dearly, much too dearly purchased. In killed, wounded, and missing, the British have to deplore a loss of two thousand six hundred and twelve of our gallant country- men; and our noble-hearted allies hare to mourn a diminution in their numbers to the extent of one thousand seven hundred and twenty six ; both branches of the allied army having suffered severely in the loss of officers, of whom an unusually large number have been victims. Although:the battle of Inkermann is flattering to our arms, and bears promise of future and ultimate success, it is nevertheless one of those events which suggests reflection on the past and deliberate consideration of the future, even more powerfully than partial adversity could have done. The attack made upon our position by such

The exposed natar,e, of this portion of the British position had been, it is saki, perceived and pointed out by Sir De LaeY Evans so the time ago.

The dispositions of the Russians, to secure surPvisce and success, were made with considerable skill, and, in so far the former object was concerned, with very (bilge— f 1 effect. Shortly before five o'clock a sharp ht musketry on the hill side, to the left of the Light Division, gave intimation that a hostile force was advancing' in f direction. Favoured by the fog, the grey great oats of the Russians rendered them nearly invisible, that close at hand.

With this vie!","i by cavalry were drawn up in order of battle, supPor" mi. field artillery, and posted at the neck of the valley, tnn.,-to vance over the heights, and cut our retreating tVacual pieces, should the main attack prove successful. It 51;hts telegraph had been erected by the Russias on the llinbe above Inkerman, to communicate with another on 0 hill, covering the position of this corps of reserve and observation, by which intelligence of our defeat was,t° slid conveyed to the general commanding that e troops,9 in similar means were adopted for apprising the ihe Sebastopol, of this anticipated event, and to enable or garrison to make a general sortie at the criticseall ment.

The neutrality of Austria has thus been as serviceable to the Czalt as if she had placed an army at his disposal. If the Muscovite has thus been enabled to extract such service from this pretended neutrality, what benefit have the allies derived from it as a counterpoise ? The barren, if not g their superiority to the Russian des, has as yet been all the benefit the allies have de- rived from the negative, not passive friendship of our strian ally ; on whose head and against whose nefarious to charge at least one-half of the slaughter of our armies in the Crimea. Yet our Ministers prate about carrying on the war with spirit ; they hardly venture, however, to say also with prudence and judgment. Another matter seriously suggested by the two victories we have recently gained, presents itself in the character our brave countrymen, (1 in working out the reduction of Sebastopol. The Russians who fought at Inkermann are, to all intents and purposes, a different class of antagonists from those who scarcely waited to be conquered on the heights of the Alma. Our Inkermann antagonists were obviously vete- ranspossessed of discipline and the persevering courage con- ferred by discipline and military habits. Savage no doubt they proved themselves, particularly against the defence- less wounded—exhibiting more of the assassin's malignity than of the soldier's spirit. Still to such merit as such barbarians may claim they are entitled ; and, if they dis- played more of the vindictiveness than the magnanimity of savage foes, they also evinced a kindred cunning to that which enables the savage to steal unobserved upon his enemy. It was no trivial exhibition of this quality, how- ever favoured by the gloom of night, and the pall of a dense fog, by which between 50,000 and 60,000 Russians were enabled to scale the heights of Inkermann, carrying with them their muskets and artillery, and pounce upon our unsuspecting lines, till our soldiers were awakened by their deadly fire. There is no question as to the completeness of the surprise ; and it is said that, against any other troops in the world, the effect of the surprise would have been as fatal as it was startling. This proves that our newly-found antagonists are of dif- ferent metal from those we had previously encountered and proves also that they are dangerous as well as subtle Evils are seldom unmixed, and the struggle under con- sideration proves no exception to that rule ; if it has been sharp and dangerous, it has been useful too. Every indi- cation tends to prove that the fearful essay of the fifth was the issue of a duly-considered plan, intended for the entire destruction of the allied force. The troops selected for the work were evidently experienced and determined ; they were officered by the best commanders in the Russian privilege of provin Inheritance of them novels in three volumes Lblic shov witted as a hig it is not too muc the enemy, now let loose against service, and they fought under the immediate eye of the Emperor's sons. The gathered tide of Muscovite valour was directed in full force against our devoted handful. The surge swelled high, and fatally dashed against our bulwarks, recoiled, and yet again gathering strength, again swept onward in its course ; repulsed once more, it broke in foaming and dangerous eddies, but was ulti- mately hurled back in wild confusion, shattered and powerless, ass the billows of the ocean are repelled by the cliffs of our rock-bound isle. The protracted and repeated fury of the attack proves the desperation of the Russian leaders ; and these being foiled affords plausibility to the conjecture that for the present, having done his worst, our decimated battalions will be permitted such rest as the arduous nature of the siege operations will permit. This conjecture is further countenanced by the withdrawal of the Royal Princes from the immediate scene of conten- gad " Des- not be taxed to support that agai Of these I scientions objection. This he meets Le of his prefaces, designates her as he was himself tion; but, in the meantime, everything and every circum- stance calls loudly for prompt and large succours to our army in the Crimea.

This, by courtesy, is called " poetical," in opposition to ordinary justice. It sometimes happens, however, that the course of real events work wonderfully, in a similarly unexpected manner, to confound the machina- tions and abase the pride of unprincipled men. A case comes very aptly in point. We all remember how, a year or two ago, the members of the present Government opposed and traduced the DERBY Administration upon the subject of the Militia Bill, and how their friends and myrmidons preached crusades against the militia, and endeavoured to prevent the bill from passing, and then endeavoured to dissuade men from complying with its behests. The exigencies of the war compel them to rely on the militia force as their sheet-anchor, not merely for replacing troops sent abroad, but to depend on it as a source of supply for the regular army. The bellicose pacific PREMIER and his colleagues in office are forced to depend on Mr. WALPOLE'S Militia Act as their chief hope for supporting the national honour in the present war. This is hardly all the " humble pie" they are constrained to eat. It is said that the gentleman who mismanages the Exche- quer has reached his ultimatum in making the year's revenue pay for the year's expenditure in connexion with the war ; and rumours are gaining much currency among the sharp-witted to the effect that his finance, like that of other ministers so circumstanced, will speedily find refuge, like other destitute administrators, in a loan. Sic transit gloria ministrorum. Among the " mighty fallen," who now so conspicuous as the HOME SECRETARY'S " Rev. Friend" the broad-brimmed Member for Manchester? The peripatetic quaker for a considerable time past has made himself remarkable, if not odious, by opposing the present war, and displaying his pro-Russian tactics and tendencies. This exhibition has of late become so pointed and unpopular, that the Man- chester constituency are concocting means to make him resign his seat; and, worse than all, so completely has he been deserted by his special friends, the mob, that it has become safe to treat him with contempt and contumely, and on Tuesday night an effigy was publicly burned in Manchester, inscribed" BRIGHT, the friend of NicitoLes." The Ostend conference of American ministers held lately, at which M. SoutE, Messrs. Bums/cur, MASON, and others of similar kidney and tribe, assisted, has, it seems, resulted in an exposition of political morality of which recent American annals afford too many instances. The cogitating ministers of the " stripes and stars" have concluded that the time has arrived when Spain should no longer be allowed " the opportunity of farther shuf- fling" ; and further that the time also has arrived at which it has become a necessity of the United States " to pur- chase or take" Cuba at once ; and it seems the home squadron will be sent to Havana, Matanzas, and other ports of Cuba, which proceeding, it is said, will " lend a moral influence" in favour of the annexing arguments. Judging by this little bit of diplomatic necromaney, the Russian bear is not the only one inclined to grease its paw in its neighbour's dish. It is quite possible that the western " Bruin" may find the Spanish broth as hot to handle as the property of the " sick man" has proved to Russia. The hand of death has been busy in high places. By the recent death of Lord DUDLEY STUART, a vacancy has occurred in the representation of Marylebone. To fill the vacant seat various candidates on the Radical, or, as they delight to call themselves, liberal interest are talked of. Sir JAMES HAMILTON will, it is expected, be again brought forward on the Conservative interest. Sir JosErn PAXTON is endeavouring to succeed his late friend (Mr. GEAcrt) as one of the members for Coventry. The horticultural knight has addressed the constituency, and those who worship the rising sun in that direction prophesy the certainty of his return. In the death of Professor EDWARD FORBES science has lost a zealous votary, and the University of Edinburgh has been deprived of one who, by his assiduity, as well as by his natural and acquired gifts, promised to be an ornament to that dis- tinguished seat of learning. He was appointed to the chair of Natural History in that University so lately as April last, and took an eminent part in several of the discussions at the meeting of the British Association in your good town, in September last. He was a native of the Isle of Man, but was chiefly educated in Edinburgh, of the University of which he was an alumnus.

It may answer very well in matters pertaining to bodily wants or pleasures—as food, raiment, indulgences —these may very safely be left to the operation of demand and supply, and it were exceedingly unwise to interfere with the wholesome reciprocal action which ' obtains between these two elements, but in matters of religion, the merest tyro in divinity, the most superficial observer must be aware that the supply must' precede the demand—man by nature has no desire for religious ordinances, although he has the urgent necessity. The less he knows of God and his duty towards him, the less he desires to know. The farther he is from God the farther he would be from him ; and, therefore, if left to himself the case is hopeless, he never would move one step towards effecting his own improvement; so that if he ever be reclaimed to virtue and morality, it must be as the_result of a movement towards him from without—a movement of which he is the object, not the subject. Christianity, could never be propagated in this way, for no man seeks Christianity until Christianity first seeks him ; and as a matter of fact Christianity never has been propagated thus. Our fathers did not first send for Christian missionaries to turn them from their Saxon idols ; nor do the heathen at the present day first send for missionaries to Christian England. The free-trade principle will suit very well where peo- ple are both willing and able to pay for it, and on this footing the vast majority of the churches of Liverpool are, whether right or wrong, based ; but again I say this principle will not answer in places where the mass of the people are either unable or unwilling to pay, and this is the case in the crowded neighbourhoods of our large towns. What is to be done with such people ? Shall those who most require the moralizing influences of religion be left destitute ?—and has that Government rightly discharged its solemn obligations to those outcasts which contents itself merely with building gaols to imprison them, but refuses to build a church to spread around the healing influences of religion ? Mr. TAYLOR then draws attention to what has been done by the Church and by dissent for the religious in- struction of the poor, and shows that while the former has been extending her means of usefulness, the latter has been retrograding and shutting herself up in exclusive- ness. lie points out the fact that in Liverpool, out of 60,000 sittings, there are 22,000 free ; while dissenters, out of 46,000 sittings, have only 12,000 free ; and he ad- duces several instances where meeting-houses, in crowded districts, have been closed, and new ones erected in more wealthy localities. To a fifth objection, that there should be no compulsion in religion, he observes : We would not force any man to become religious, nor would we propagate Christianity with fire or sword, pains or penalties ; but we would employ the public funds, raised by general taxation, to extend religion and virtue by moral means ; and we think the Government would be at the least as much justified in doing so, e.g., in printing Bibles for the prevention of crime, as in print- ing Blue Books to record its onward progress. We can see no ground for the objection of "compulsory religion," in a State simply endeavouring, by reason and -argument-, persuasiOn and encouragement, to dry up the sources of crime and poverty, and spreading abroad the healing and elevating influences of virtue. He complains, with much force and truth, on the great defects which exist in many churches, particularly those on the proprietary system in Liverpool, in the provision for the poor, and the neglect of the important principle, that, in public worship, all persons are equal. In con- cluding his work he proceeds to point out the remedy, which should consist in a thorough Christian legislation, and, by carrying out the state-Church principle to its fullest extent, to bring the entire population, particularly of our large towns, under an effectual pastoral superinten- dence. On this point he says : To this end, let a sufficient number of free churches be built by grants of Parliament, the ministers moderately endowed, and paid out of the Consolidated Fund, like Sir R. Peel's district churches ; let a proper district be assigned to each, and let it be charged on that clergyman that he seek to fill his church out of that district, and not out of the town at large. At present, the clergyman's time is taken up with the charge of a general congregation, drawn from all parts of the town by his superior; talents it may be, or by the peculiarity of his views, or by the mere wham of his hearers; and if he visit them not, his hearers will not continue to attend his church; they expect, and it may be supposed not unnaturally, that their preacher should be also their pastor. We have now only once more to recommend that every one will read the work for himself, and to express a hope that some steps may be taken to realise the views which Mr. TAYLOR has so ably set forth.

main body of the Turkish army passing by way of the Principalities t .ds the Crimea, Russia has been enabled upon Set xstopol, which she would have lx sm compelled to dispose of elsewhere. The Austria has thus been as serviceable to the CZAR as if she had placed an army at his disposal. If the neutrality a Muscovite has thus been enabled to extract such service from this pretended neutrality, what benefit have the allies derived from it as a counterpoise ? The barren, if not fatal privilege of proving their superiority to the. Russian hordes, has as yet been all the benefit the allies have de- rived from the negative, not passive friendship of our Austrian ally ; on whose head and against whose nefarious policy it is not too n h to charge at least one-half of the slaughter of our armies in the Crimea. Yet our Ministers prate about carrying on the war with spirit ; they hardly venture, however, to say also with prudence and judgment. Another matter seriously suggested by the two victories we have recently gained, presents itself in the character of the enemy, now let loose against our brave countrymen, engaged in working out the reduction of Sebastopol. The Russians who fought at Inkermann are, to all intents and purposes, a different class of antagonists from those who scarcely waited to be conquered on the heights of the Alma. Our Inkermann antagonists were obviously vete- ranspossessed of discipline and the persevering courage con- ferred by discipline and military habits. Savage no doubt they proved themselves, particularly against f uhe defence- less wounded—exhibiting more of the assassin's malignity than of the soldier's spirit. Still to such merit as such barbarians may claim they are entitled; and, if they dis- played more of the vindictiveness than the magnanimity of savage foes, they also evinced a kindred cunning to that which enables the savage to steal unobserved upon his enemy. It was no trivial exhibition of this quality, how- ever favoured by the gloom of night, and the pall of a dense fog, by which between 50,000 and 60,000 Russians were enabled to scale the heights of Inkermann, carrying with them their muskets and artillery, and pounce upon our unsuspecting lines, till our soldiers were awakened by their deadly fire. There is no question as to the completeness of the surprise ; and it is said that, any other troops in the world, the effect of the against This proves that our newly-found antagonists are of dif- ferent metal from those tve had previously encountered and proves also that they are dangerous as well as subtle Evils are seldom unmixed, and the struggle under con- sideration proves no exception to that rule ; if it has been sharp and dangerous, it has been useful too. Every indi- cation tends to prove that the fearful essay of the fifth was the issue of a duly-considered plan, intended for the entire destruction of the allied force. The troops selected for the work were evidently experienced and determined ; they were officered by the best commanders in the Russian service, and they fought under the immediate eye of the Emperor's sons. The gathered tide of Muscovite valour was directed in fall force against our devoted handful. The surge swelled high, and fatally dashed against our bulwarks, recoiled, and yet again gathering strength, again swept onward in its course ; repulsed once more, it broke in foaming and dangerous eddies, but was ulti- mately hurled back in wild confusion, shattered and powerless, :as the billows of the ocean are repelled by the cliffs of our rock-bound isle. The protracted and repeated fury of the attack proves the desperation of the Russian leaders ; and these being foiled affords plausibility to the conjecture that for the present, having done his worst, our decimated battalions,will be permitted such rest as the arduous nature of the siege operations will permit. This conjecture is further countenanced by the withdrawal of the Royal Princes from the immediate scene of conten- tion; but, in the meantime, everything and every circum- stance calls loudly for prompt and large succours to our army in the Crimea. With them, to stand still is really ade ; and to be left alone in earning renown is to retro, to ensure destruction. Dramatists and novel-writers wind up their composi tions by the introduction of some unlooked-for event or circumstance by which the malign influences of the piece are so made to work as to ensure, by a course of action contrary to that which is generally anticipated, the punish- ment of the villain. This, by courtesy, is called " poetical," in opposition to ordinary justice. It sometimes happens, however, that the course of real events work wonderfully, in a similarly unexpectedmanner, to confound the machina- tions and abase the pride of unprincipled men. A case comes very aptly in point. We all remember how, a year or two ago, the members of the present Government opposed and traduced the DERBY Administration upon the subject of the Militia Bill, and how their friends and myrmidons preached crusades against the militia, and endeavoured to prevent the bill from passing, and then endeavoured to dissuade men from complying with its behests. The exigencies of the war compel them to rely on the militia force as their sheet-anchor, not merely for replacing troops sent abroad, but to depend on it as a source of supply for the regular army. The bellicose pacific PREMIER and his colleagues in office are forced to depend on Mr. WA.nronE's Militia Act as their chief hope for supporting the national honour in the present war. This Is hardly all the " humble pie" they are constrained to eat. It is said that the gentleman who mismanages the Exche- quer has reached his ultimatum in making the year's revenue pay for the year's expenditure in connexion with the war; and rumours are gaining much currency among the sharp-witted to the effect that his finance, like that of other ministers so circumstanced, will speedily find refuge, like other destitute administrators, in a loan. ,Sic transit gloria ministrorum. Among the " mighty fallen," who now so conspicuous as the HOME SECRETARY'S "Rev. Friend" the broad-brimmed Member for Manchester ? The peripatetic quaker for a considerable time past has made himself remarkable, if not odious, by opposing the present war, and displaying his pro-Russian tactics and tendencies. This exhibition has of late become so pointed and unpopular, that the Man- chester constituency are concocting means to make him resign his seat; and, worse than all, so completely has he been deserted by his special friends, the mob, that it has become safe to treat him with contempt and contumely, and on Tuesday night an effigy was publicly burned in Manchester, inscribed" BRlGllT,thefriend of NICHOLA s." The Ostend conference of American ministers held lately, at which M. SOULE, Messrs. BUCHANAN, MASON, and others of similar kidney and tribe, assisted, has, it seems, resulted in an exposition of political morality of which recent American annals afford too many instances. The cogitating ministers of the " stripes and stars" have concluded that -the time has arrived when Spain should no longer be allowed " the opportunity of farther shuf- fling" ; and further that the time also has arrived at which it has become a necessity of the United States " to pur- chase or take" Cuba at once ; and it seems the home squadron will be sent to Havana, Matanzas, and other ports of Cuba, which proceeding, it is said, will " lend a moral influence" in favour of the annexing arguments. Judging by this little bit of diplomatic necromancy, the Russian bear is not -the only one inclined to grease its paw in its neighbour'•s dish. It is quite possible that the western " Bruin" may find the Spanish broth as hot to handle as the property of the " sick man" has proved to Russia. The hand of death has been busy in high places. By the recent death of Lord DUDLEY Szuenx, a vacancy has occurred in the representation of Marylebone. To fill the vacant seat various candidates on the Radical, or, as they delight to call themselves, liberal interest are talked of. Sir JAMES HAMILTON will, it is expected, be again brought forward on the Conservative interest. Sir JOSEPH PANITON is endeavouring to succeed his late friend (Mr. GEA.CH) as one of the members for Coventry. The horticultural knight has addressed the constituency, and those who worship the rising sun in that direction prophesy the certainty of his return. In the death of Professor EDWARD Foul)Es science has lost a zealous votary, and the University of Edinburgh has been deprived of one who, by his assiduity, as well as by his natural and acquired gifts, promised to be an ornament to that dis- tinguished seat of learning. He was appointed to the chair of Natural History in that University so lately as April last, and took an eminent part in several of the discussions at the meeting of the British Association in Your good town, in September last. He was a native of the Isle of Man, but was chiefly educated in Edinburgh, of the University of which he was an alumnus. The death of Miss SL sex EDMONSTONE FERRIER has just

Severe] SPAIN.— In the sitting of the Cortes, on the 21st instant, the Duke de la Vittoria made the following declaration :—" Gentlemen,— When the whole nation re- solved, in July last, to recover its rights and to destroy the abuses which had been introduced into the government of the state, I was called on by the heroic people of Sara- gossa, in order to authorise and support the movement which for the same object was effected in that capital and in the principal parts of Arragon. I went without hesita- tion to support and defend so noble a cause, and I offered in the most solemn manner to use all my efforts in order that the national will should be accomplished. The Queen then appointed me President of the Council of Ministers, and I accepted that charge with the firm resolution of giving it up as soon as the Constituent Cortes should be assembled. This was one of the principal demands which I made to the Queen, and which her Majesty admitted without repugnance. The Constituent Cortes are now assembled, and the ministry over which I have the honour to preside is about to tender its resignation, in order to leave to her Majesty full liberty of choosing her responsible advisers, conformablyto parliamentary usages. Gentlemen, I avail myself of this opportunity to here declare, in the sanctuary of the laws before God and before men, that I have no kind of ambition ; that the only thing which forms the object of my wishes is to live as a simple citizen in obedience to the laws." This declaration was received with shouts of applause. AusTais..--The New Prussian Gazette of the 21st announces that the Austrian Cabinet has just sent a note to the Western Powers, in which Austria points out to the latter, as members of the Conference of Vienna, the character and result of the negotiations recently opened between the different States of the Germanic Confede- ration on the subject of the Eastern question. Austria also gives explanations as to her particular position. She announces that she will respect the obligations contracted by her on the signing of the protocol of April last, and that she will regulate in accordance with it her conduct as regards the Diet, and the several members of the Ger- manic Confederation.' The Austrian note dwells besides on the liberty which Austria reserves to herself of even- tually assuming the offensive, and on the right she pos- sesses of judging the conditions of peace in her own point of view, and in an independent way, and not of binding herself by declarations such as, for instance, a promise to content herself with the four points of guarantee. CIRCASSIA.—Russian accounts from the Caucasus de- clare that a great victory has been gained over Schamyl, on the southern slope of Mount Katchkalyk. The greater number of the mountaineers inhabiting Karassou are said to have perished, while the Russians had only one officer (the old story), and 12 men killed, and 55 wounded. This was on the sth of October. Ten days later the Circassians were again defeated, says the account, and this time they lost 1,000 men, the Russians having 15 killed and 35 wounded. - - stores and a church were destroyed CUBA.—We have Havana ad•" by the stP-- Dudlr es to the 11th instant, .reamer UrOVerllol _ The Havana correspon- dent of the New York Courier says, that two Americsuz schooners, with arms and ammunition on board, had bees seized at Baracoa, and all parties concerned were imprisoned_ It was rumoured that 300 men had been landed, but this part of the rumour lacks confirmation. General Muiseano, second in command, left Havana on the 9th to investigate the affair. Our own correspondent at Havana says, " A popular outbreak is reported to have occurred at Puerto, Principe, but we are without details. They say that Pezuela has discharged several of the parties engaged hi anding arms at Baracoa, RCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, Nov. 15.—The pressure in the money market continues without abatement, and its influence is seriously felt in all branches of trade. These western bank troubles excite renewed distrust and alarm here, and a large amount of hypothecated stocks have been forced upon the market, thus absorbing capital that could not well be spared from the legitimate channels of trade. The average loans are now lower than at any period within the past twelve months. The current rates for prime business paper, having thirty to ninety days to mature, are 12 to 15 per cent. per annum ; and call loans, backed by undoubted securities, are negotiable at 7 to S per cent.. Exchange on London was dull, at 1091 to 109 k; Paris, 5131 to 515. There is more favourable intelligence in reference to the Maine banks. The reports in regard to the renewal of business by the Hallowell, Shipbuild-- ers', and Ellsworth Banks have also had the effect to inspire fresh confidence at Portland and other eastern. towns. The City, Merchants and Mechanics', and Farmers'• Banks, of Chicago, have suspended payment. The firm of George Milne and Co. have also suspended; but the assets of the firm are equal to the discharge of their debts. The total amount of gold shipped from California for the three months ending the 30th September amounted to $13,794,960, of which $12,609,407 were destined for the Atlantic States, and $1,185,552 for foreign ports. Total, nine months, $38,722,155. CoTroli.—The demand continues'extremely light, both for home use and export, and, under the late unfavourable accounts from England, the market is depressed and prices materially lower. The crop prospects have materially im- proved during the past three weeks, owing to the conti- nuance of fine weather. Prices, although gradually yield- ing in all the markets of the States, are at the moment, aided by light receipts, heavy arrivals being delayed at southern ports by low rivers. The receipts at the ports are still in excess of last season, as are also the exports for Great Britain and France. Our quotations are reduced *e- on those advised 10th inst., but must be still be consi- COMM E dered nominal. (From W. P. Wright's Circular, of November 15.) In this market, owing to the disappointment felt in the absence of advance at Liverpool, but more particularly to the change in opinion on the subject of crop, the transac- tions have been trifling, and at a decline of c. to Ic. per lb- on the quotations given on the 6th inst. Exporters have kept almost entirely out of market, except when tempted by a cheap lot, and spinners have only operated to a limited extent. The sales during the past day or two have been at very irregular prices; it is therefore difficult to give quotations with exactitude, but it is nevertheless certain that sales to any extent could not at the moment be effected, even at the reduction in price. The weather has continued remarkably fine for the opening and gather- ing of the second growth or top crop, and the season is- now too far advanced for any damage to accrue from a killing frost. The general estimates are increasing, and. 3,000,000 bales find few advocates, even as a minimum.

Hardly is this province disencumbered of its parent association, than it progresses with extraordinary energy. No less than £25,000 is voted for the immediate completion of the road from Lyttelton to Christchurch, whilst a railroad is seriously contemplated at a cost of £155,000. A large sum, too, is proposed for educational purposes, and seem- ingly not before it is wanted, as it would appear that not more than two-thirds of the population can read and write—a proportion greatly below that of the Maori tribes, who are almost invariably educated in reading and writ- ing. In other respects Canterbury makes a good show, with its 7,000 acres of fenced land, its 100,000 sheep, 6,000 cattle, and 600 horses. And all this has been done in four years.

Viewed in connexion with this disputed subject, the translation assumes an in- terest not its own, and must be looked on as a valuable literary curiosity.

The portion published is only the first part of the paper, and commencing with the matters preliminary to the landing of the Allied Armies in that peninsula, it finishes with the victory at Alma, in which the difficulties encountered and overcome by the gal- lantry and conduct of the French and British troops are vividly, yet truthfully delineated.

This he m( such an argument be Amitted, Qua to maintain wal no should we, as Churchmer Romanist College at M Our cons I involved in the disposal of taxe manded to " Render to Caesar the things which are Caesar's, to God th .e God's. Having ng con- science, he proceeds to combat the fourth objection of the Voluntaries, that every man should support his own reli- By all means let those who have experienced the benefits of the Gospel seek to contribute to its support— but what is to become of the men of no religion ? Men vvhn haves inaaPri nPrhang bePn bnntized. but who. with at exception, ar r from anity, or t ledge of As elementary truths, as the heathen who never heard of the Saviour's name. Who will pay to have religion brought to them, or are they, who most require it, to be left destitute of the saving influences of the Gospel ; and what is to be the fate of those who might, indeed, be willing to receive it, if brought to them without charge, but who find the battle of life too severe, sunk as they are in the depths of poverty, to enable them to pay for it ? In reference to this part of the subject, he offers the following observations, which are specially deserving of attention. He says : the free-trade principle in relie, ~ion will not do It may answer very well in matters pertaining to bodily wants or pleasures—as food, raiment, indulgences —these may very safely be left to the operation of demand and supply, and it _were exceedingly unwise to interfere with the wholesome reciprocal action which obtains between these two elements, but in matters of religion, the merest tyro in divinity, the most superficial observer must be aware that the supply must precede the demand—man by nature has no desire for religious ordinances, although he has the urgent necessity. The less he knows of God and his duty towards him, the less he desires to know. The farther he is from God the farther he would be from him ; and, therefore, if left to himself the case is hopeless, he never would move one step towards effecting his own improvement; so that if he ever be reclaimed to virtue and morality, it must be as the result of a movement towards him from without—a movement of which he is the object, not the subject. Christianity could never be propagated in this way, for no man seeks Christianity until Christianity first seeks him ; and as a matter of fact Christianity never has been propagated thus. Our fathers did not first send for Christian missionaries to turn them from their Saxon idols ; nor do the heathen at the present day first send for missionaries to Christian England. The free-trade principle will suit very well where peo- ple are both willing and able to pay for it, and on this footing the vast majority of the churches of Liverpool are, whether right or wrong, based ; but again I say this principle will not answer in places where the mass of the people are either unable or unwilling to pay, and this is the case in the crowded neighbourhoods of our large towns. What is to be done with such people ? Shall those who most require the moralizing influences of religion be left destitute ?—and has that Government rightly discharged its solemn obligations to those outcasts which contents itself merely with building gaols to imprison them, but refuses to build a church to spread around the healing influences of religion ? Mr. TAYLOR then draws attention to what has been done by the Church and by dissent for the religious in- struction of the poor, and shows that while the former has been extending her means of usefulness, the latter has been retrograding and shutting herself up in exclusive- ness. He points out the fact that in Liverpool, out of 60,000 sittings, there are 22,000 free ; while dissenters, out of 46,000 sittings, have only 12,000 free ; and he ad- duces several instances where meeting-houses, in crowded districts, have been closed, and new ones erected in more wealthy localities. To a fifth objection, that there should be no compulsion in religion, he observes : We would not force any man to become religious,,nor would we propagate Christianity with fire or sword, pains or penalties ; but we would employ the public funds, raised by general taxation, to extend religion and virtue by moral means ; and we think the Government would be at the least as much justified in doing so, e.g., in printing Bibles for the prevention of crime, as in print- ing Blue Books to record its onward progress. We can see no ground for the objection of "compulsory religion," in a State simply endeavouring, by reason and argument, persuasion and encouragement, to dry up the sources of crime and poverty, and spreading abroad the healing and elevating influences of virtue. He complains, with much force and truth, on the great defects which exist in many churches, particularly those on the proprietary system in Liverpool, in the provision for the poor, and the neglect of the important principle, that, in public worship, all persons are equal. In con- cluding his work he proceeds to point out the remedy, which should consist in a thorough Christian legislation, and, by carrying out the state-Church .principle to its fullest extent, to bring the entire population, particularly of our large towns, under an effectual pastoral superinten- dence. On this point he says : To this end, let a sufficient number of free churches be built by grants of Parliament, the ministers moderately endowed, and paid out of the Consolidated Fund, like Sir R. Peel's district churches; let a proper district be assigned to each, and let it be charged on that clergyman that he seek to fill his church out of that district, and not out of the town at large. At present, the clergyman's time is taken up with the charge of a general congregation, drawn from all parts of the town by his superior talents it may be, or by the peculiarity of his views, or by the mere whim of his hearers; and if he visit them not, his hearers will not continue to attend his church; they expect, and it may be supposed not unnaturally, that their preacher should be also their pastor. We have now only once more to recommend that every one will read the work for himself, and to express a hope that some steps may be taken to realise the views which Mr. TAYLOR has so ably set forth.

he maintained that 'no true liberty of action or thought was ever permitted where the power of Rome had been dominant. In illustra extract from the letter of a poor woman in Liverpool, who having been married to a Romanist husband, while the poor man was on his deathbed, the priest having been sent for refused to administer the sacrament to the dying man, unless his Protestant wife would consent to take their . . children from St. John's school and send them to a Romish school, which he named. He (Mr. Taylor) protested against such tyranny, and called on one and all present to rally round the standard of the 'Working Men's Association of Liverpool, and assist in uprooting such a diabolical and harrassing system—a tyranny before which that of Nicho- las of Russia is mild in comparison. Tho ,sociation a, those friendly to it were determined ever to rest ti association and Rooms was held there on Monday last week, and attended by about 200 subscribers, when Mr. Thompson, also a subscriber, was formally and unanimously expelled the room, and his name erased from the list, in consequence of his pro-Russian feeling,s and tendencies. solution. The p„- MILITIA.—The whole every vestige of Popery be expelled from the country, and the banner of Protestantism shall be displayed on every hill and float over every valley in onr beloved and beau- tiful country. (Loud cheers.) The Rev. S. MI TON seconded the point to which he would allude was th Lgonism of _ RTII ROYAL LANCASHIRE of this regiment, of which the head-quarters are at War- rington, having volunteered their services for permanent It was antagonistic to :Rome to the salvation of the Gospel of Christ, becau right of studying the Scriptures. - We must not of replying to the advocates of Rome, so long as they entered on the subject. An attempt had been made to introduce the Douay version of the Bible into the work- house, and a gentleman on the committee had said that the Priests allowed the people to read their version, bat not the Protestant version. Dr. Cahill had alluded to the " enormous lie" of Rome prohibiting the reading of the Word of God, and most emphatically contradicted this assertion. Would anybody read Dr. Cahill's state- ment, and believe that the writer of it knew at the same time that no Roman Catholic was allowed to read the Bible without the permission of the priest? Yet, such was the fact; and it was notorious that, without this permis- sion, no Roman Catholic was allowed to read the Bible. Dr. Wiseman "would not seek to merit the taunt by the denial—he admitted that the Romish priests did not en- courage the people to read the Bible, nor did they allow, or wish them, indiscriminately to read the Word of God." Dr. Newman said, people disbelieved when they read the Bible ; they opened the book in an -unbelieving spirit, and there found something contrary to the doctrine of their church ; and this caused them to become unbelievers. (Hear.) They considered no man to be a good Catholic if he opened his Bible to see if the tenets of his Church were true. What was the use of an infallible Church, if the great guns of this infallible Church fired upon each other by expressing contrary opinions; for Dr. Cahill's opinion and Dr. Wiseman's opinion were directly at variance. He then referred to the decree of the Council of Trent, prohibiting 'the indiscriminate reading ! of the Bible, and if any one read it without a written-per- mission, he should be denied 'the benefit of absolution. Any bookseller vending the book without permission was compelled to forfeit the book, and be fined in any penalty ' which the bishop thought fit. Now, this old law had actually been acted upon, in a:late transaction in Tuscany, which every one was acquainted with. In this case a person was commenting in a certain room, in company with two or three other persons ; and this was actually considered to be a plot to overthrow the religion of the country ; and therefore the expounders of the Scripture were banished from the country. This brought him to the portion of the resolution in reference to the necessity of circulating amongst our Romish brethren truth which makes us free. The voice which we were raising was, indeed, the cry which St. John heard in his vision when he wrote in his Revelation, "Come out of her, my people, and be not partakers of her sins." We raised this cry to warn not only our own people, but Romansts, against this false reiigion—this conspiracy against the liberties of man and the rights of nations. If you oppose her here you are accused of persecution ; if you oppose her in Italy, you are accused of treason. How, then, could we oppose this dreadful system ? By no other method than by mis- sionary efforts, endeavouring to promulgate the truth, in order to make all men free. " Judge not, that you be not judged," was a text which had been thrown at us, with respect to our passing an opinion of the Church of Rome; but he wished themto remember the further statement of our Lord, "Cast not pearls before swine; cast not that which is holy to the dogs, lest they turn again and rend you." Rome had been entrusted with political power by Englishmen, and now she turned again to rend them. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN put the resolution, which was carried with great acclamation. The reverend Chairman then retired, at ten o'clock, and the duties were transferred to Captain Dyer, R. N. The " Hallelujah Chorus" was given by the choir. The Rev. J. B. Lowe rose to propose the next resolution, " That this meeting deeply sympathises with the country at large, which has been plunged into sorrow at the loss of the brave men who have fallen in defence of the liberty of European law and order, against Russian despotism ; but, at the same time, it warned the Government against . _ _ notice to the effect that the regiment is ordered to be em- bodied, and that all the men will be required for parade at the Militia Store House, Warrington, on the 4th proximo.

THE COURT.—The Princess of Gauromma of Coorg, CASITEL PATRIOTIC FUND.—At a meeting of the nobility, gentry, clergy, and other inhabitants of Cashel and its vicinity, a sum of £lBO was subscribed towards the Patriotic Fund. Among others, Mr. Bianconi contributed £25, " having been assured by the authorities at the Castle, Dublin," as he adds, "that no portion of this fund should ever be contributed to proselytising purposes." FIRE AT READING.—On Sunday a fire took place at Reading, which caused the destruction of property to a large amount. The fire commenced at the warehouses of Mr. M'Tier, a coal merchant hi Queen's-road, and com- municated to the warehouse of Mr. Samuel Biggs, jun., a builder. The leadworks of Messrs. Clark, which con- tained property to the value of £3,000, also caught fire. The principal workshops of Mr. Biggs were consumed, and the damage done altogether is estimated at several thousand pounds. All Mr. Biggs' premises were insured but there is only a partial Messrs. Clark. SMITHFIELD CLUE CATTLE SHOW will be opened to the public on Tuesday next, and will close the follow- ing Friday. There are 21 classes of beasts, 9 of sheep, and 3 of pigs. The amount of prizes awarded to the 21 classes of cattle, is £450, that of the 9 classes of sheep, £lB5, and the value of the prizes offered for excellence in the three classes of pigs, £35, making a gross total of £6BO. In addition to the above sum five gold medals are open for competition among the exhibitors in different orders of -stock ; 17 silver ditto, to the breeders of the most approved beasts out of 17 classes exhibited ; 9 ditto to ditto sheep in nine classes, and three ditto to pigs in the three classes ; besides an additional five silver medals which are to be awarded for the best samples, after their distinct kinds, in extra stock. FATAL SHIPWRECK.—A fearful catastrophe happened off Sunderland harbour on Thursday morning about two o'clock. On Wednesday evening the wind was from the N.N.W., with moderate weather, and among the vessels that went out to sea by the afternoon's tide, was the barque Mary Graham, with coals for Bombay. The principal part of her crew were on shore for amusement, and the master and mate remained behind to look after them and get them aboard, sending the vessel out, into the roads in charge of Mr. Hodgson, a North Sea pilot, and several riggers and men employed at daywork. 'The rigging was loose, and under such circumstances the vessel was in a very disorderly state whew she went out. Mr. Elliott, one of the owner's clerks, also proceeded to sea with the vessel, to look after the riggers ; and it appears that while the vessel was rid- ing with two anchors out, a tremendous gale came on from the east about nine o'clock that night, blowing straight on to the shore, and a little before two in the morning, the man in charge of the south pier lights saw the sea in the offing illuminated with signal lights from the barque, as she had then drifted from her anchors and was coming in to the shore. He immediately sent to the town to give the alarm, and speedily a number of pilots and harbour men arrived, and the lifeboats and Manby's apparatus were got out, but, on account of the fearful sea that had by this time risen, neither the one or the other was of service. About two o'clock the hapless vessel drifted on to the " stone heads" lying between the south pier and the beacon, and within an hour she had gone to pieces, and every one on board of her had perished, with the exception of a seaman named Edward Downs, who drifted ashore in one of the longboats. The body of the pilot, and Mr. Elliott, with several others, .have been picked up during the forenoon, and the wreck of the vessel is strewn along the shore as far as the eye can reach. BURNING OF THE MORAYSHIRE.—:The following ex- tract of a letter gives some details of the loss, by fire, of the barque Morayshire, Brodie, from Bombay to Liver- pool:—`4 The fire broke out in the mainhold eight days after the ship sailed from Bombay. Her cargo consisted chiefly of Indian produce—a considerable portion of which was Bombay cotton. There appears to be little doubt that part of the latter was stowed away in wet weather ; and to this cause, added to a large quantity of the coir yarn, used as broken stowage, being sent on board in a moist state, her spontaneous combustion may be ascribed. We understand that, on the eighth day after she left Bombay, Steepfe-chase of £5 each, with £5O added, Nias won by Mr. A. Rice's Lincoln, beating Gradeley Lass and three others. The Duke of Bedford's Dabchick died last week at New- market. _ _ Mr. Greville g colt, by Epirus, out of Wapiti, and colt, by Epirus, out of Wedding Day, have arrived at New- market to be trained for their engagements. _ _ Lord Zetland has disposed of Atigur to Mr. Smith, of Boston, Lincolnshire. Lord Clifden's Alembic is reported to have recovered from the effects of the rupture of a blood-vessel. John Waddington, the jockey, was killed at E. Elliott's, at Richmond, a few days since, owing to the horse he was riding at exercise falling and rolling over ►im, whereby his neck was broken. pursuing a wrong system of policy, in sending out Popish chaplains to the seat of war." The Rev, gentleman made some observations in accordance with the resolution. The resolution was passed, after which the choir sang the National Anthem, and the meeting concluded. Wood, the light-weight jockey, who formerly lived with John Scott, is about to leave this country for India, having accepted a lucrative engagement from the celebrated Ruby stable. . . _ _ _ _ PARLIAMENTARY PRINTING.—By a return just issued it appears that the expense of printing for the Houses of Parliament, in the year ended the sth of January last, was £63,044. In the preceding year it was £54,030. MESSENGER is now champion of the Thames, he having defeated Cole for a wager of £4OO. - - Benjamin Bartholomew has been engaged by Lord The Doncaster Town Council, at their meeting on Wednesday last, agreed to continue their grant of £1,200 to the races, by a majority of fourteen to four. Mr. Clark, the race judge, has this year presided over 645 races, in which there were 3,246 competitors. The awards included ten dead heats 84 heads, and 63 necks. Nutshell and Filbert, the two last of Lord Exeter's stud, were sold at Tattersall's last week fcr sixty guineas each. TICE TRAFFIC Returns of Railways in the United King- dom, published for the week ending November 18, amounted to £311,534, and for the corresponding week of last year to £316,338, showing an increase of £28,196. . • THE DUTY ON CORN.—From an official paper just issued, it is shown that, in the year ended the sth of January last, the duty on corn amounted to £529,217, and in the preceding year £404,385. -- • There is a sum of £337 already in the hands of the bankers, towards the next Great Metropolitan Stakes. Mr. Henderson, of this town, has purchased the steeple- chase horse Lincoln. The whole of the late Mr, .Meikland's stud will be offered for sale at York, on the Ist day of January next. . - - FIRE INSURANCE DUTY.—It seems, by a parliamentary document just issued, that the sum of £1,209,567 was realised in the year ended the sth of January last, by duty on fire insurances.

SIR GEORGE BROWN'S GREY • .CIiARGER.—A remark- able instance of vitality is recorded of the horse bestridden by Sir George at Alma. No fewer than eleven bullets were extracted from the poor animal at Constantinople, whither he was sent for treatment. The horse has since rejoined his master, and is now perfectly well, and fit for field duty. THE FOLLOWING ADVERTISEMENT appears in the Geelong Advertiser :—" The Russian Invasion.—The greatest danger which Geelong incurs is from the fact that the Commander of the Russian squadron in the Pacific, having heard of the superior quality of Birdsey's Ale, has resolved to visit the British Hotel, Corio-street, at the earliest opportunity. True Britons, rush to the Bar, and drink it up before his arrival, and thus disappoint the base invader ! !" THE 20‘17.AVES.—Who and what are the Zouaves ? Are they Africans or Frenchmen, and when was their corps first organized ? [The Zouaves are natives of the French provinces of Algiers, disciplined and exercised by French officers, and now forming part of the French contingent employed in the Crimea and the siege of Sebastopol. They hold exactly the same relation to the French army that the Sepoys of India have to the regular British troops.]— THE CHAS} The CRESIIIRE HOUNDS Will meet on— Tuesday, 28th...

After searching over the ship unsuccessfully, one of the seamen went into the chain locker, and his immediate exit from the overpowering heat showed that the centre of the ez._ was in a state of ignition. All hopes of getting the fire under being cut off, the ship was put before the wind, every hatchway battoned down to exclude the air, and every sail set to run for the nearest land, but within three hours the flames burst forth through the deck, compelling the captain to order the long-boat to be lowered, and, having been supplied with water, the crew took to their solitary refuge, and the ship was abandoned. A quarter of an hour after her masts went by the board, and her hull became a mass of flame. She soon disappeared. After three days' suffering, the long-boat reached Colombo, where the crew all safely landed?' Notes aid Queries. L.4.17N0n ,oR TUB VITTORIA. EMMANUELO.—On Tues- day, a fine screw-steamer, the second of a fleet of ten ships intended for the Transatlantic Steam-packet Com- pany of Genoa, was launched from Messrs. Mare and Co.'s extensive works at Blackwall. This enterprising company has been formed under most favourable auspices, his Ma- jesty Victor Emmanuel, the King of Sardinia, himself taking a deep interest in the prosperity of the undertak- ing, and being in fact one of the largest of the share- holders. The company propose to establish steam and direct postal communication between Genoa, Marseilles, Barcelona, Gibraltar, and the principal ports in the south of Spain, and with the continents- of North and South America. MURDER OF A GIRL BY TIER FA.TITEILA few days since, a young woman, named Sarah Ann Voss, was mur- dered by her father, a labourer in the employment of the London and North-Western Railway Company. The wretched man, who, there is reason to believe, committed the dreadful crime under the influence of insanity, imme- diately absconded, and was not captured for several days. A verdict of " Wilful Murder" was pronounced against him by a coroner's jury, and he has been committed for trial. REINFORCEMENTS. It has been determined by the military authorities to add three subalterns to the strength of each of the infantry regiments now serving in, or about to be sent to, the Crimea. The present number of subal- terns is, exclusive of the adjutant, fourteen lieutenants and eight ensigns.

A large quantity of rose water twice distilled is allowed to run off into an open vessel, placed over night in a cool running stream, and in the morning the od is found floating on th surface in minute specks, which are taken off very carefully by means of a blade of sword-lily.

Frenchmen were that I ! Will be of a sufl ..,.._ _.. _ vise. to cruise on this coast ifte red I ihe plan Petropau wnn in front. bay, the rho and wounded. Several unlucky balls, as ~.._., styled, struck the English vessels, killing, not solitary men, but carrying off whole files. The French vessels they are snot were sufficiently injurious to the vessels. The Forte received 40 balls, and, though she was in the thickest of the fight, only six of her men were killed and 10 wounded on the vessel. The Russians handled their guns with a skill which commanded the admiration of the allied forces. 1,500 of the men in the fort were veterans from the Caucasus, sent out through Siberia and down the Amoor within a year, and 600 of the number had arrived within three months of the attack. Among the prisoners taken were a number of persor intelligence, including Germans, Danes, and others, who had been in the Russian service. A Russian general, now on the frigate Forte, in this harbour, was captured in the Sitka. He was going to take command of the fortifica- tions at Petropaulowski. While the allied fleet was before that place, a Russian admiral, formerly on the Pallas frigate, arrived from the Amoor, off the harbour, in a small screw steamer, and was about to enter, when he discovered the hostile vessels, or was signalised, and, put- ting about, succeeded in making his escape. H.R.H. PRINCE ALBERT, has, we are informed, ordered a seal-skin fur coat to be supplied, at his own expense, to every officer in the Crimea or about to proceed thither. Some officers on the eve of departure have already received these acceptable gifts, which reflect equal credit on the consideration and bounty of his Royal Highness.—The Press. TURKEY.-Our consul represents the resources of Tur- key at Euren-keuy, both in vegetable and mineral produc- tion, as inexhaustible. He can get Turkish labourers for three pounds a-year wages, besides their keep ; but he finds it more profitable to employ Greeks at ten pounds a- -‘a.r : there is the present history of the two races. He `-s, very decidedly, that it is the best thing for the thn._ Christian races themselves to preserve the existing state of things for the present, till their growth has secured its own result. A Turk himself had told him the other day • • •,11 01P Chief employments, and the army itself, must be recruited from the Christian population ; and then, some day, the Ministers would tell the Sultan that he must become a Christian, and he would do so. Will it, then, be a convert or a conqueror, a Constantine or a Ferdinand, who will be first crowned in Saint Sophia ?—Lord Carlisle's Diary. TILE CJIA.E.GE BA.LAILLA.VA.—The charge of the Light Brigade of Cavalry on the batteries of the enemy, some 30 guns strong, though brilliantly and bravely done, was most disastrous in its consequences to that gallant and devoted band, for it seems that out of .700 who went into the fray only 130 answered their roll when it was over ; and it appears to have been done under a misappre- hension of an order from the Commander-in-Chief. Lord Cardigan pointed out to his superior officer the immense difficulty of charging a battery, flanked by another, into a sort of a cul de sac, with the hills lined with rifles and guns ; but, receiving the positive order to charge, at it he and his splendid brigade went, and as they approached within a few hundred yards of the big battery a shell burst close to him, and struck Captain Nolan in the chest, which caused the poor fellow to scream awfully, and his horse turned and galloped to the rear, when his gallant but impetuous rider was found lying dead. The Light Brigade still kept sweeping on till they were right in front of them, when a 32-pounder went off within two feet of Lord Cardigan's horse, quite lifting him off the ground, but he got in among them, and was, where he always will be when it comes to the point, in the first rank. It seems they rode right throught the guns and turned, after kill- ing' the men who were serving them. His lordship's extra prisoner, for he has not since been heard of. Mr. Womb well, of the 17th Lancers, had a most extraordinary escape showing a monstrous deal of pluck. His horse was—it is said two were —shcrt•under him, and he was taken prisoner, but while being marched off he saw _an opportunity, mounted a Russian's horse, and galloped bacK, rejoining some of his brigade who had reformed, and charging again without sword or pistol. Mr. Cook, of the 11th, also had a regular run for his life of a mile and a half, pursued by the Russian cavalry, to avoid whom he ran under range of the guns of one of their batteries, and finally escaped. Major Clarke, of the -Greys, in addition to a bad cut in the neck, had his horse's tail almost cut off by a sabre cat ; and the gallant Adjutant Miller, an unusually powerful man, did extraordinary execution when he got to close quarters with them. Lord Cardigan was attacked by.two Cossacks, who with their lances gave him several pneke d ratl staog.red him in his saddle ; but his lordsv an _de, being well mounted, and a good cross-country rider, moreover, as cool as brave men ever are in real danger; parried their thrusts, and escaped with the aforesaid lance- pricks in his leg. - PERILS OF TIIE BALTIC.-Of all seas the Baltic is one of the most dangerous to shipping and harrassing to crews. Sudden and frequent changes of the wind, shallow waters off shore, innumerable shoals and insulated rocks, with currents divided by these obstacles, branching off in different directions to be re-divided by the same cause, till, meeting from opposite quarters, the waters are em- broiled in the hurly-burly of a sturdy conflict ; there are almost constant sources of anxiety to the mariner, for the navigation is most beset with such impediments precisely in those parts which are eminently the highways of com- merce. Hence the proportion of maritime casualties is much greater in the case of vessels sailing to the Baltic ports than in the instance of merchantmen passing be- tween Great Britain and America. In the month of May, when the navigation-opens in the gulf of Finland, flags are planted, by order of the Russian government, at the extremities of most of the shoals, which are red when placed on the north side of the channel, white when they are to be left on the south, and half red half white when they may be passed on either side. The hydrographical officers of the Czar have not performed this duty, for obvious reasons, in the present season. Nowhere have. the waves the magnitude and grandeur which belongs to those of the ocean ; but they are not less furious. and far more difficult to manage, breaking abruptly, owing to the inconsiderable depths, and succeeding each other with greater rapidity. The long-rolling billows common to the Atlantic are seldom seen, even in the more open parts of the sea ; but sandbanks soon terminate their unbroken sweep; when, rent into a thousand atagonist columns, the fragments of the shattered wave are thrown together in unimaginable confusion. A " chopping sea," or one without any definite right-onward movement, but tossing up and down, to and fro, hither and thither —a chopping performed in a most vigourous style—is eminently cha- racteristic of the waters.—The Baltic, its Gales, Shores, and Cities. MILITARY TECIINOLOGY.—Some of our readers may perhaps find to their convenience the following explana- tions of French Locutions :—" Hors de combat"—literally out of combat—is a very comprehensive phrase, extending to all the men disabled in a fight from continuing to take part in it, by being either killed, wounded, or made pri- soners. The metre is a lineal French measure, equal to the forty-millionth part of the earth's_circumference. Its nice proportion to the English foot is given by a decimal fraction ofi many figures; but for the general purpose of icient practical newspapei -- exactitude to consider nine metres as equivalent to ten yards.

`RVICES TRANSPORT AND MAII ---4.-- THE war, brief though its period of existence, has been productive of numerous social revolutions, and pro• mises to effect others of very general importance. Among those which threaten considerable publi iconveni, tbe. interruption of our previously mail system will be severely felt. The emergencies of our own troops, and those of our allies in the Crimea, have caused Government to avail themselves of all the aid to be attained by employing the mail steamers, as troop and vell-organised ocean store ships, wherever that could be done, without in the most serious manner impeding the_ public _service.._._ Last week we alluded to ihe fact that, in consequence of three of the Cunard steamers being engaged by Government, there will be no mail despatched by that line to New York from Liverpool before the 9th of December. A notice from the General Post-office, since published, confirms what we then stated. In addition to this interruption, the Royal Mail Company . have been de- • prived of steamers to perform the service between South- ampton and the Brazils ; and the mails must consequently be transmitted from this port by the South American Company's steamer Pampero, which sails on Friday next. After the 2nd of next month, no mails will be despatched for the West Indies at present. The General Screw Com- pany having no vessel to take out the Australian mail of the 4th proximo, it will be conveyed from this port by the Black Ball clipper James Baines, on the 9th of December. The Peninsular and Oriental Company are at present per- forming their contract with smaller steamers ; but it is anticipated that even these will shortly have to be pressed into the transport service. Southampton is quite de- serted, with the exception of oue or two vessels under- going repairs, previously taken up by Government. The following list of magnificent steamers belonging to the Southampton mail companies are at present employed as transports :-Royal Mail Company :-Oronoco (paddle), 2,900 tons, 800-horse power ; Avon (p), 2,069 t., 450 h.p. ; Thames (p), 1,900 t., 450 h.p. ' • Medway (p), 1,895 t., 430 h.p. ; Trent (p), 1,856 t., 430 h.p. • Tamar (p), 1,800 t., 450 h.p. Peninsular and Oriental Company ;-Hima- laya (screw), now the property of the Government, but' officered and manned by the Peninsular and Oriental Com- pany, 3,500 t., 700 h. p ' • Simla (s), 2,600 t., 600 h.p. ; Candia (s), 2,200 t., 450 h.p. ; Nubia (s), 2,200 t., 450 h.p. ; Colombo (s), 1,800 t., 450 h.p. ; Indus (p), 1,700 t., 4,50 h.p. ; Ripon (p), 1,600 t., 450 h.p. ; Manilla (s), 600 t., 60 h.p. ; Rajah (s), 600 t., 60 h.p. General Screw Company :-Prince, purchased by Government, but offi- cered and manned by the General Screw Company, 2,750 t., 300 h.p. ; Indiana, 2,364 t., 300 h.p. ; Golden Fleece, 2,500 t., 300 h.p. ; Jason, 2,500 t., 400 h.p. ; Hydaspes 1,800 t.; 300 h.p. ; Harbinger, 1,00 t., 150 h.p.; Propontis 530 t., 100 h.p. This list shows that Southampton has con- tributed 22 steamers, of 32,266 tons and 8,530 horse power. Liverpool also has borne her fair share in furnishing the Government with steam-ships, screw and paddle, for ser- vice as transport or store vessels, as will be seen by the following list of ships, tonnage, and power :-Cunard Company : Arabia (p), 2,700 tons, 800-horse power ; Europa (p), 1,850 t., 650 h.p. ; Niagara (p), 1,850 t., 650 h.p. ; Cambria (p), 1,200 t., 440 h.p. ; Jura (s), 2,200 t., 400 h.p. ; Emu (s), 1,600 t., 350 h.p. ; Alps (s), 1,400 t., 300 h.p. ; Andes (s), 1,400 t., 300 h.p. Canadian Com- pany : Cleopatra, 1,400 t., 300 h.p. ; Ottawa, 1,200 t., 200 h.p.; Charity, 1,200 t., 200 h.p.-all screws. Liverpool and Philadelphia Company : Kangaroo (s), 1,900 t., 350 h.p. South American Company : Imperatriz (s), 1,800 t., 200 h.p. Cork and Liverpool Company : Alba- tross (s), 750 t., 200 h.p., and Cormorant (s), 850 t., 200 h.p. ; making a total of 15 vessels, of 22,950 tons and 5,540-horse power.

Patrons : the Trustees of the late Rev. T. E. Petty. THE LARGEST LONDON CHURCH income is £2,081 9s. sd. for St. Botolph's, Bishopsg►ate, and the smallest is but £4O for St. Helen's, Bishopsgate. CHAPLAINS FOR THE CRIMEA.—The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel received upwards of one hun- dred applications from clergymen desirous of proceeding as assistant-chaplains to the seat of war. Ten of these were selected, and have received their appointment from the War-office. Seven of this number have already left for the Crimea. _ _ A VIsITiTION was held by the Ven. Archdeacon Stone- house, in the Consistory Court of Lincoln Cathedral, on Thursday, the 9th inst., and afterwards adjourned to the White Hart Hotel, to hear three complaints against Wm. Middleton, the parish clerk of the parish of Stow. The charges 'against him were, annoying certain parties by grinning at them while passing to and from church, mis- behaviour at a wedding, and brawling during the reading of the sentences previous to the administration of the sacrament. The charges were fully sustained, and the clerk was dismissed from his office. THE BISHOP DESIGNATE OF SYDNEY.—The Right Rev. Dr. Frederick Barker, who has been appointeti Lord Bishop of Sydney and Metropolitan of Australia, preached a farewell sermon to his congregation at Baslow, near Bakewell, Derbyshire, on Sunday week. The benefice which the bishop has vacated is but of a small annual value, and is in the gift of the Duke of Devonshire ; but the Crown will, in all probability, claim the next pre- sentation ;according to the usual practice in such cases. Prior to his nomination to the incumbency of Baslow, last year, Dr. Barker was perpetual curate of St. Mary's Church, Edge-hill, Liverpool, an appointment which he held nearly twenty years. THE FRIEND OF THE CLERGY.—On Sunday, two ser- mons, in aid of the Friend of the Clergy, were preached in the parish church of St. Giles's-in-the-Fields ;—that in the morning by the Rev. W. Cadman, rector of St. George's, Southwark. The rev. gentleman said that the society was established for two objects; one to secure permanent pro- vision for the widows and unmarried daughters of clergy- men of the Established Church, for those who were left by the death of their earthly supporter to the benevolence of the friends of Christ ; and to 'extend relief to clergymen under circumstances of temporary difficifities. It was imperative on the part of all members of the Church to support such a Society, to help the beloved ones of the man whose instructions and holy life had been a-blessing to the district in which he had 'laboured, and had, from the necessities induced by the paltry pittance on which he was, compelled to maintain himself and his family, been exch4led from the intercourse with society to which he was ftgy entitled. The number of thoclergy in England, Wales, agd Ireland, amounted to 18,000; and it was be- lieved AO the ftygage income of the .teachers of the

CHESHIRE SURGEONS.-A _ „..„,...F,,,J115, 011 I 1 D. Bird, of Birkenhead. CILESTEB. day, Sir F. Thesiger moved for a mandamus, to be directed to John Boyle, Esq., and others, aldermen of Chester, to publish a list of councillors of the borough of St. John's Ward, and to insert therein the name of Robert Cross, the question being, whether, when a councillor was elected mayor, another was to be elected in his place.—Rule granted. GENERAL EGERTON, Colonel of the 46th Regiment, died at Eaton Banks, near Tarporley, on the 15th instant. The Chester Courant says —" In his life General Egerton ex- emplified all the social virtues of an English gentleman, and all the distinguished attributes of a gallant officer ; and his death, which occurred in the 72nd year of his age, is sincerely regretted." THE BIRKENHEAD POLICE FORCE.-011 Friday, Mr. Superintendent 31`1-larg, who had already contributed a liberal sum to the Patriotic Fund, brought the subject of the condition of the widows and orphans of the troops who have fallen in the East, before his men at the police-office, with the intention of asking them for a subscription, when each individual gave a day's pay to this great national undertaking. STEAM TO IRELAND.—In a bill which the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company is about to bring before Par- liament, power is proposed to be taken, authorising the London and North-Western, or the Chester and Holyhead, or both Companies, to purchase or hire steam and other vessels for the purpose of a through-traffic between this country and Ireland; and it is also proposed to enable either or both companies to provide additional accommo- dation for the expected traffic at the harbour of Kings- town, and at the quays of the river Liffey, by the purchase or lease of lands, and the erection of buildings and other conveniences. CHESTER AND HOLYIIEAD RAILWAY.—The traffic for the week ending 19th November, 1854, was as follows : Passengers, parcels, &e., £2,282 Bs. 9d.; steam-boats, £348 3s. 2d.: total, £2,630 lls. 11d. Goods, £1,689 2s. 2d. Total, including Carnarvon traffic, £4,328 14s. id. Cor- responding week last year, passengers, parcels, &c., £2,001 18s. sd. ; steam-boats, £230 ls. 4d.: total, £2,231 19s. 9d. Goods, £1,383 Os. 4d. Total, including Carnarvon traffic, £3,615 Os. ld. Increase, £713 14s. Od. EATON HALL.— The Marquis and Marchioness of Westminster have been entertaining a numerous circle of relatives and friends at Eaton. Among the visitors were the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, Lord and Lady Wenlock, Lord and Lady Leigh, Sir Frankland Lewis, Bart., Lord Stanley of Alderley, Mr. Tatton and Lady Charlotte Egerton, Mr. and Mrs. Randle Wilbraham and others. Sir Michael and Lady Octavia Stewart are at present on a visit to their noble relatives. MYSTERIOUS DISCOVERY.—On Wednesday, last week, as a man in the employ of Mrs. Thomas, of Gwersyllt, near Wrexham, was working in a field near Rhosrobin, cleaning out a ditch, he found a coffin plate, having on it the following inscription : —" Deborah Grosvenor, Obiit Aprs. 10, 1771, /Etat 33." A day or two afterwards he found two more, and a number of coffin handles, together with a variety of ornaments The following are the in- scriptions on the plates found the second time : " Eleanor, Marchioness of Westminster, born 10th July, 1770, died 29th Nov., 1846." ." Elizabeth Grosvenor, died Bth Dec. 1805, aged 67 years." There is no doubt the above formed part of the booty stolen from Eccleston church a few years ago, which the thieves, finding to con- sist only of brass, instead of some more precious metal, had dePosited in the ditch. ACCIDENT BY ExrLosioN.—On Thursday forenoon, a serious accident occurred at the new graving docks, near Woodside Ferry, to two men, named Samuel Parry and Robert Owen. The injured men were labourers, and were employed in blasting some rock. From some cause the powder did not take fire, and they went to examine the charge. At that moment an explosion took place which resulted in their being very severely burnt about the face and head, besides sustaining other injuries. They were promptly removed to the hospital in Hamilton-street, where every attention was paid to them, and hopes are entertained that they will recover. EXCISE PROSECUTIONS AGAINST OMNIBUS DRIVERS. —At the Birkenhead police-conrt, on Friday, Oswald ',Speakman, William 11. Whittington, and John Barton, omnibus drivers, in the employ of Messrs. Bath and Co., were brought up, at the instance of Mr. A. David, of the inland revenue, at Liverpool, for running to Hoylake races on Wednesday without a license. It appears that the officers of excise were over to Birkenhead, and placed some of their assistants on the omnibuses. On arriving at Birkenhead on Thursday eve- ning, the prisoners were taken into custody, and lodged in bridewell, the omnibus and eight horses being seized at the same time, and placed in custody at the stables of the Birkenhead Hotel. The prisoners Speakman and Whittington were fined £2 10s, each, and on Barton a fine of £5 was imposed, it having been proved that he had made two journeys. AN Imposron.—A man who gave the name of Alexander Hannah, was charged, at the Birkenhead police-court, on Friday, with having written a letter in the name of the Rev. A. Knox, the incumbent of St. Mary's, Birkenhead, by means of which he attempted to obtain money from Miss Bradley, of Rose-brae, Monk's Ferry. On Thursday morn- ing, the prisoner went to the house of Miss Bradley, and presented a letter, purporting to be written by Mr. Knox, and in which the rev. gentleman'was made to say that he recognised the prisoner as being a person who was in great distress, and deserving of, relief, and that he (Mr. Knox) would take it As personal favour if she would contribute towards his -;relief. On the letter being pre- sented to her, Miss Bradley doubted its authenticity ; and on showing it to Mr. Knox, he at once stated that it was a forgery.—The prisoner was committed for two months. WIRRAL UNION.--At a recent meeting of the board of guardians for the hundred of Wirral, for the purpose of assisting the patriotic movement, it was resolved— That there be a local committee in each poor-law union, and that it consist of the magistrates resident in the union, the clergy and ministers of religion of all denominations, the guardians of the poor of every township in the union, and the lqtal military staff officers, to report to the central committee." It was also resolved—" That the Wirral union be divided into seven districts, the districts to be co-extensive with the present medical districts, namely, Birkenhead, Claughton, Bebington, Eastham, Neston, Upton, and Wallasey ; and that the magistrates, the clergy, and other ministers of rreligion resident in each district, be invited to co-operate with the guardians for the township comprising the district in raising funds, or otherwise aiding the general committee of the union, and that each district committee report to the general com- mittee of the union, at Clatterbridge, on the 29th of November." BEBBINGToN.—A public meeting of the inhabitants was held on Wednesday evening, in the School-room, Lower Bebington, for the purpose of appointing a committee to collect contributions for the Patriotic Fund throughout the townships of LoWer Bebington, Poulton- cum-Spital, and Storeton. The Rev. R. M. Fielden, the rector of the parish, was in the chair. Mr. H. Nield moved the first resolution, which was for the appoint- ment of a committee for Collecting subscriptions. The resolution was seconded by Mr. John Light- bound, and carried unanimously. So strong was the feeling of sympathy evinced by the meeting for the losses sustained by our army, in the recent sanguinary struggle, that many gentlemen, who had already subscribed liberally in Liverpool, put down their names for additional sums, and in a few minutes upwards of £4O was collected in the room, exclusive of the sums of '£2o each, given by the Rector of Bebington, and Johii Deane Case, Esq. The fact, that the Rector, who is also Chairman of the Birken- head Magistrates, had two sons, Major Robert Fielden, of the 44th Regiment, and Lieutenant Fielden, of the 38th Regiment, both in the engagement, but who, happily, escaped unhurt; and, also, a nephew, Captain Gipps, of the Scots Fusilier Guards, who was severely wounded, added to the interest which was felt on the occasion. FARMING- IN CHESRIRE.—For the last month the farmers generally have been busily engaged in preparing for the sowing their wheat, the greater portion of which has been put into the ground in the best possible condi- tion ; there is, however, upon the dry soils, and more especially the turnip land, a considerable quantity yet to sow, but should the weather continue tolerably fine for a fortnight longer, in that also we may expect great progress to be made, and we think a full average quantity will be sown during the season. The yield of the last crop of wheat appears to be satisfactory, and the price, although rather lower within the last week, is also considered remu- nerative. Very little barley has been threshed, or indeed of oats; therefore much cannot be said of those crops, but it is feared that barley will not prove ,an even sample, or very productive. Winter vetches have engaged the atten- tion of the farmers in an unusual degree, in consequence of the deficiency of the hay crop and expected scarcity of spring food for cattle, and the demand for seed has greatly exceeded the supply, which has caused the price to be very high. It is much to be regretted that the opinion formed a few weeks ago, with regard to the productiveness of the potato crop, has undergone a great change ; many crops which, at the time of being raised, had comparatively a healthy appearance, are, on their final removal to the "hay" for the winter, found to contain at least 20 per cent. and in some instances as much as 30 to 40 per cent. of diseased potatoes ; consequently, the price has risen materially in the market, and is likely to be much higher before the spring months. The season has been very fine for pulling and storing mangold wurzel, and the crops generally are found to be much superior to the turnip crop, which is almost invariably the case in dry hot seasons like the last. Turnips are still growing, but they never can recover from the effects of the mildew, which has been so prevalent, especially amongst early sown ones. Fat cattle and sheep are very scarce, and the price of beef and mutton is likely to advance considerably before Christmas. Pigs are also in good demand.—W. P. A LECTURE on "Health and Longevity" was given a few days since in the Town-hall, Wells, by the Right Hon. and Right Rev. Lord Auckland, Bishop of Bath and Wells, and president of the Literary Institution. A PROTEST has been entered against the election of the Duke of Argyll as Lord Rector of Glasgow University, on the ground that his grace is Chancellor of the University of St. Andrew's, and that it is illegal to hold offices in two colleges. NEws has been received in Dublin of the death of Sir Arthur Brooke, M.P., who became suddenly and danger- ously ill on Monday week. Sir Arthur's death leaves a vacancy in the representation of the county of Fermanagh.

Chambers' Journal. London : Chambers The part for November of this highly-popular periodical contains Mr. W. Chambers' concluding letter on " Things as they are in America." His former letters contained chiefly descriptions of what he saw, but in this he enters into some ge- neral observations which are well entitled to at- tentive perusal. With much that he finds to praise he does not scruple to blame, and while he alludes to the slavery in the South as the great plague- spot on American civilisation—tending to the ulti- mate dismemberment of the Union—he also points to the contemptuous exclusion of coloured races in the North as a social evil equally blameable. A ced, entitled " Maretimo," by new story is eomr.

Cherry ; " Sweet-remembered Music," words by J. E. Carpenter, music by Ste- phen Glover ; " Speak gently," music by Miss Lindsay ; " Excelsior,'' music by Miss Lindsay. The four preceding ballads are good specimens of the style and general effects aimed at by their respective authors and composers. Miss Lindsay's are, as usual, marked by delicacy and sweetness happily combined with expression ; the melodies are simple and beautiful, and they are finely suited to the family social circle. Of Mr. Glover's melody it is only requisite to say, that it embraces the usual characteristics of his composition, gramma- tical rhythm, and correctly-denoted musical expres- sion, accompanied by sweetness and power. Mr. Cherry's ballad music is also very pleasing. These four very seasonable pieces are published by the well-known musical firm of R. Cocks and Co.— " Tilleard's Church Services and Anthems," No. 3 ; and " The Briton's Address to the Navy," with words by Charles Dibdin, are also seasonable to the time. The first, being a well-arranged set of the splendidly-devotional " Christmas Hymn." The second is one of the stirring ditties which rouse to martial deeds. These two latter pieces are from the cheap musical press of J. A. Novello, of which they are good and creditable specimens.

THE Providence Transcript says there is a lady so aristocratic ,that she refuses to take a newspaper, because it is made of rags. To IMPROVE TEA.—M. Soyer recommends housekeepers to place the teapot with the dry tea in it upon the hob for a little while before making. This plan certainly improves both strength and flavour. Rain water, when pure, is the best for making all infusions, including tea, of course ; since the solvent powers of water are great in proportion to its freedom from earthy salts. A MODEL SPEECH.— George W. Snow, having been unanimously re-elected City Clerk of Bangor, made a speech to the electors. He said, " Gentlemen—You have given me all your votes, and I will give you my thanks. I accept the office, and wish you to accept the thanks." It is understood that both parties were satisfied, and nobody yawned over the speech. NATIVE LANGUAGE.—The following rich scene recently occurred in an American court of justice between the judge and a Dutch witness all the way from Rotterdam : " Judge : What's your native language ? Witness : Ipe no native, I's a Dootchman ! Judge : What's your mother tongue ? Witness : Oh, father says she pe all tongue ! Judge (in an irritable tone) : What language did you speak at the cradle ? Witness : I did not speak no lan- guage in to cradle at all ; I only cried in Dootch !"—Then there was a general laugh, in which the judge, jury, and audience joined. The witness was interrogated no further about his native language. A SITUATION Vice XT.—Some years ago, a black man called on a clergyman in western New York, avowed him- self a fugitive slave, and asked for food and shelter, which were freely accorded. Two or three persons being cogni- sant of the fact, called in to see the "runaway nigger," when the following dialogue ensued :—"S'poseyou had very hard times down south—lickings a plenty ?"—" No ; I never was whipped."—" Wan% ! Well, you had to work awful hard ?" My work was very light."—" Guess your clothes wan't very nice ?"—" I was always well clothed; I was a good servant."—" Reckon your victuals wan't uncommon fine ?"—" As good as I desired."—" Well,• I should give it as my opinion that you was a mighty big fool for running away from such a place as this, just for the sake of shirking for yourself."— Gen'men, my place down south is vacant. Any of you can have it by apply- ing for it."—American Paper. THE PHILOSOPHY OF DRESS.—M. Chevreul, whose new work on colour seems to be at once recognised as an authority by all artists, gives a clothes philosophy of a practical kind. " A coat, waistcoat, and trousers of the same colour cannot," he says," be worn together with ad- vantage, except when new ; for, when one of them has lost its freshness by having been more worn than the others, the difference will be increased by contrast. Thus new black trousers, worn with a coat and waistcoat of the same colour, but old and slightly rusty, will bring out this latter tint ; while at the same time the black of the trousers will appear brighter. White tromers, reddish grey also, will correct the effect of which I speak. We see, then, the advantage of having a soldier's trousers of another colour than his coat, especially if, wearing this coat all the year, he only wears trousers of the same cloth . _ during winter. We see, also, as I have already said, why white trousers are favourable to coats of every colour." NEW ORLEAss.—The plain on which the city of New Orleans is built rises only nine feet above the sea ; and excavations are often made far below the level of the Gulf of Mexico. In these sections several successive growths of cypress timber has been brought to light.. In digging the foundations for the gasworks, the Irish spadesmen, finding they had to cut through timber instead of soil, gave up the work, and were replaced by a corps of Ken- tucky axemen, who hewed their way downwards through four successive growths of timber, the lowest so old that it cut like cheese. Abrasions of the river-banks show similar growths of sunken timber; whila stately live oaks, flourishing on the bank directly above them, are living witnesses that the soil has not changed its level for ages. Messrs..Dickeson and Brown have traced no less than ten distinct cypress forests at different levels below the present surface in parts of Louisiana where the range between high and low water is much greater than it is at New Orleans. These groups of trees (the live oaks on the banks, and the successive cypress beds beneath) are ar- ranged vertically above each other, and are seen to great advantage in many places in the vicinity of New Orleans. —Types of Mankind. PIC-NIC IN TIIREET.—To-day (August Bth), I gave a dinner, or pic-nic, to Lady Emily Dundas, on the summit of the Giant's Mountain (Therapia). It was extremely well arranged by the landlord of the hotel, Mr. Pettler, who transferred an excellent collation from Europe to Asia. The provision wagon, indeed, broke down, but no damage ensued. We were twenty-seven : Lady Emily, Lord Stratford, Mr. and Mrs. Skene, Admiral Slade, Lord Pen- vensey, Mr. Alison, Dr. Sandwith, Captain Drummond, and the rest were mainly officers of the Britannia and the Retribution. Our ascent was picturesque. The two ladies and two young midshipmen in a Turkish araba, a gaily painted wagon drawn by two dove-coloured oxen ; the Anglo-Turk, Admiral Slade, on horseback, with his three attendants on foot, carrying his pipe, &c.; the rest of us walking. The Ambassador very amiably left the peace and war of Europe for one afternoon, and came across in his well-manned caique. We all sat down on carpets round a large tablecloth. Here those accustomed to Turkish habits' had rather the advantage ; but, what- ever were the merits of the meal, those of the view imme- diately beneath us would not admit of much competition from the rest of the world. We had all the glittering reaches of the Bosphorous in its southern course, and over and above its usual accompaniments, the fleets of Turkey and the tents of Egypt. The day was just what one would have commanded, having a due mixture of clouds, which are hailed here as sunlight is in England.—Lord Carlisle's Turkish Diary. LONDON'S LARDBR.—If we fix upon Hyde Park as our exhibition ground, and pile together all the barrels of beer consumed in London, they would form a thousand columns not far short of a mile in perpendicular height. Let us imagine ourselves on the top of this tower, and we shall have a look-out worthy of the feast we are about to sum- mon to our feet. Herefrom we might discover the great northern road stretching far away into the length and breadth of the land. Lo !as we look, a mighty herd of oxen, with loud bellowing, are beheld approaching from the north. For miles and miles the mass of horns is con- spicuous, winding along the road ten abreast, and even thus the last animal of the herd would be seventy-two miles away, and the drover goading his shrinking flanks considerably beyond Peterborough. On the other side of the park, as the clouds of dust clear away, we see the great western road as far as the eye can reach, thronged with a bleating mass of wool, and the shepherd at the end of the flock, ten abreast, and the dog that is worrying the last sheep, are just leaving the environs of Bristol, 121 miles from our beer-built pillar. Along Piccadilly, Regent- street, the Strand, Fleet-street, Cheapside, and the east- ward Mile End Road line for 74 miles, street and causeway are thronged with calves, still ten abreast, and in the great parallel thoroughfares of Bayswater, Oxford-street, and Holborn, we see nothing for nine long miles but a slowly- pacing, deeply-grunting herd of swing. As we watch this moving mass approaching from all points of the horizon, the air suddenly becomes dark—a black pall seems drawn over the sky—it is the flock of birds—game, poultry, and wild fowl, that, like Mrs. Bond's ducks, are come up to be killed ; as they fly wing to wing and tail to beak, they form a square, whose luperfices is not much less than the whole enclosed portion of St. James's Park, or 51 acres.

Bth, 1854 THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL ADYERTISER. BATTLE OF INKERMAN. great and sanguinary battle fought on the sth instant, before Sebastopol, will be found in the subjoined accounts His Grace the Duke of Newcastle has this day received a despatch, of which the following is a copy, addressed to his Grace by Field-Marshal the Lord Raglan, G.C.B. DIY LORD DuKE,—I have the honour to report to your grace that the army under my command, powerfully aided by the corps of observation of the French army, under the command of that distinguished officer, General Bos- quet, effectually repulsed and defeated a most vigorous and determined attack of the enemy on our position over- looking the ruins of Inkerman, on the morning of the sth instant. ed you In my letter to your grace of gie 3rd, I inform that the enemy had considerably increased their f the valley of Tchernaya. The following day this aug- mentation was still further apparent, and large masses of troops had evidently arrived from the northward, and on two several occasions persons of distinguished rank were observed to have joined the Russian camp. I have subsequently learnt that the 4th corps-de-arme'e, conveyed in carriages of the country, and in the lightest possible order, had been brought from Moldavia, and were to be immediately followed by the 3rd corps. It was therefore to be expected that an extensive movement would not be long deferred. Accordingly, shortly before daylight on the sth, strong columns of the enemy came upon the advanced picquets, covering the right of the po- sition. These piquets behaved with admirable gallantry, defending the ground, foot by foot, against the over- whelming numbers of the enemy, until the Second Division, under Major-General Pennefather, with its field guns, which had immediately been got under arms, was placed in position. The Light Division, under Lieut-General Sir George Brown, was also brought to the front, without loss of time. The First Brigade, under Major-General Codring- ton, occupying the long slopes to the left towards Sebas- topol, and protecting our right battery, and guarding against attack on that side ; and the Second Brigade, under Brigadier-General Buller, forming on the left of the Second Division, with the 88th Regiment, under Lieut.-Colonel Jeffreys, thrown in advance.' The Brigade of Guards, under his Royaß Highness the Duke of Cambridge and Major-General oentinck, pro- ceeded likewise to the front, and took up m st important ground to the extreme right, on the alignement of the Second Division, but separated from it by a deep and pre- cipitous ravine, and posting its guns with those of the Second Division. The Fourth Division, under Lieut.-General Cathcart, having been brought from their encampment, adv anted to the right and front of the attack. The First Brigade, under Brigadier-General Goldie, proceeded to the left of the Inkerm'n road. The Second Brigade, under Brigadier- General Torrens, to the right of it, and on the ridge over- hanging the valley of the Tchernaya. The Third Division, under Lieut.-General Sir Richard England, occupied in part the ground vacated by the Fourth Division, and supported the Light Division, by two regiments- under Brigadier-General Sir John Camp- bell, while Brigadier-General Eyre held the command of the troops in the trenches. The morning was extremely dark, with a drizzling rain, rendering it almost impossible to discover anything beyond the flash and smoke of artillery and heavy musketry fire. It, however, soon became evident that the enemy, under cover of a vast cloud of skirmishers, supported by dense columns of infantry, had advanced numerous batteries of large calibre to the high ground to the left and front of the Second Division, while powerful columns of infantry attacked with great vigour the Brigade of Guards. Ad- ditional batteries of heavy artillery were also placed by the enemy on the slopes to our left, the guns in the field amounting in the whole tor ninety pieces, independently, however, of the ship guns and those in the works of Se- bastopol. Protected by a tremendous fire of shot, shell, and grape, the Russian columns advanced in great force, requiring every effort of gallantry on the part of our troops to resist them. _ At this time two battalions of French infantry, which had on the first notice been sent by General Bosquet, joined our right, and very materially contributed to the successful resistance to the attack, cheering with our men, and charging the enemy down the hill, with great loss. About the same time a determined assault was made on our extreme left, and, for a moment, the enemy possessed themselves of four of our guns, three of which were retaken by the 88th, while the fourth was speedily recaptured by the 77th Regiment, under Lieut-Colonel Egerton. In the opposite direction the Brigade of Guards, under his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, was engaged in a severe conflict. The enemy, under the cover of thick brushwood, ad- vanced in two heavy bodies,. and assaulted, with great determination, a small redoubt, which had been constructed for two guns, but was not armed. The combat was most arduous, and the Brigade, after displaying the utmost steadiness and gallantry, was obliged to retire before very superior numbers, until supported by a wing of the 20th Regiment of the Fourth Division, when they again ad- vanced and retook the redoubt. This ground was afterwardla occupied, in gallant style, by French troops, and the Guards speedily reformed in rear of the right flank of the Second Division. In the meanwhile Lieut.-General the Hon. Sir George Cathcart, with a few companies of the 68th Regiment, considering that he might make a strong impression by descending into the valley and taking the enemy in flank, moved rapidly forward ; but, finding the heights above him in full occupation of the Russians, he suddenly dis- covered that he was entangled with a superior force, and while attempting to withdraw his men he received a mortal wound, shortly previously to which Brigadier- General Torrens, when leading the 68th, was likewise severely wounded. Subsequently to this the battle continued with unabated vigour, and with no positive result, the enemy bringing upon our line not only the•fire of all their field batteries, but those in front of the works of the place, and the ship guns, till the afternoon, when the symptoms of giving way first became apparent ; and shortly after, although the fire did not cease, the retreat became general, and heavy masses were observed retiring over the bridge of Inkerman, and ascending the opposite heights, abandon- ing, on the field of battle; five or six thousand dead and wounded, multitudes of the latter having already been carried off by them. I never before witnessed such a spectacle as the field presented ; but upon this I will not dwell. Having submited to your grace this imperfect descrip- tion of this most severe battle, I have still two duties to discharge—the one most gratifying, the last most painful, to my feelings. I have the greatest satisfaction in drawing your graces attention to the brillian=t conduct of the allied troops. French and English vied with each other in dißlayjng their gallantry, and manifesting their zealous devotion, to duty, notwithstanding that they had to contend against an infinitely superior force, and were exposed for many hours to a galling fire. It should be borne in mind that they have daily, for several weeks, undergone the most constant labour, and that many of them passed the previous night in the trenches. I will not attempt to enter into the detail of tlie•move- ments of the French troops, lest I should not state them correctly ; but I am proud of the opportunity of bearing testimony to their valour and energetic services, and of paying a tribute of admiration to the distinguished con- duct of their immediate commander, General Bosquet ; while it is in the highest degree pleasing to me to place upon record my deep sense of the valuable assistance I received from the Commander-in-Chief,General Canrobert who was himself on the ground, and in constant commu- nication with me, and whose cordial co-operation on all occasions I cannot too highly extol. Your grace will recollect that he was wounded at the Alma. He was again wounded on the Oth, but I should hope that he will not long feel the effects- of it. I will, in a subsequent dispatch, lay before your grace the names of the officers whose services have been brought to my notice. I will not detain the mail for that purpose now, but I cannot delay to report the admirable behaviour of Lieutenant-General Sir George Brown, who was unfor- tunately shot through the arm, but is doing well; of Lieutenant-General His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, who particularly distinguished himself; and of Major-General Pennefather, in command of the Second Divtgion, which received the first attack, and gallantly maintained itself under the greatest difficulties through- out this protracted conflict; of Major-General Bentinck, who is severely wounded; Major-General Codrington, Brigadier-General Adams, and Brigadier-General Torrens, who are severely wounded ; and Brigadier-General Buller, who is also wounded, but not so seriously. I must likewise express my obligations to Lieutenant- General Sir Richard England, for the excellent disposition he made of his division, and the assistance he rendered to the left of the Light Division, where Brigadier-General Sir John Campbell was judiciously placed, and effectively supported Major-General Codrington ; and I have great pleasure in stating that Brigadier-General Eyre was em- ployed in the important duty of guarding the trenches from any assault from the town. Lieut.-General Sir De Lacy Evans, who had been obliged, by severe indisposition, to go on board ship a few days previously, left his_ bed as soon as he received intelligence of the attack, and was promptly at his post; and, though . . he did not feel well enough to take the command of the division out of the hands of Major-General Pennefather, he did not fail to give him his best advice and assistance. promise 1 satisfaction to all under s difficult to arrive at any )ositiv e elusion as to the actual numbers brought into the field by the enemy. 'he configuration of the ground did not admit of any at of their force, the attack consisting of sted assaults in heavy masses of columns ; nn the numbers that were seen in the had withdrawn in retreat, I am led to great develops plains alte suppose that they could not have been less than sixty thousand men. Their loss was excessive, and it is calcu- lated that they left on the field near five thousand dead, and that their casualties amount in the whole, in killed, wounded, and prisoners, to not less than fifteen thousand. Your grace will be surprised to learn that the number of British troops actually engaged little exceeded eight thousand men, whilst those of General Bosquet's division only amounted to six thousand, the remaining available French troops on the spot having been kept in reserve. I ought to mention that, while the enemy was attacking our right, they assailed the left of the French trenches, and actually got into tl► of their batteries ; but they were quickly driven out in the most gallant manner, with considerable loss, and hotly pursued to the very walls of Sebastopol His Gra, , —I have, & T the Duke of Newcastle, &c RAGLAN RETURN OP CASIJALITIES ON THE STH NOVEMBEI It is deeply distressing to me to have to submit to your - ori this Staff.-5 officers killed ;12 officers wounded. 4th Light Dragoons.-2 rank and file wounded. 11th Hussars.-1 rank and file wounded. 17 Lancers.—l officer killed ; 1 rank and file wounded.

Mere superiority of numbers was 11°t floor. only, or indeed, under the circumstances, the most 1 tant disadvantage under which our gallant army In addition to the disadvantage incurred through %Ice' cause, there was also to be placed the depressing illlretbe of long-continued and exhausting fatigue, caused bl difficulty of the protracted siege operations, carried o inadequate numbers in the face of a determined and cIF; battle lant foe. The night which ushered in the day °A fore was one of ceaseless and heavy rain, which, just he__. daybreak, changed into a dense and bewildering fog, eu2i., pletely enveloping the heights and the valley of Inkerta:,i`te in a cold moist vapour ; so thick that objects were 11 thei invisible at the distance of only a few yards. Throng l the cheerless and gloomy obscurity of this deadening Pall' • g; sound of wheels was heard by the sergeant of an outlY?!e labour.7 picquet, which he quickly reported to Major Banbury. 04 sound was at once conjectured to arise from the passaveof ammunition waggons proceeding through the vallel + Inkerman to Sebastopol. No suspicion was entertalucid, secure. that the vehicles, the motion of whose wheels was llearir belonged to a large aggressive force of Russians, advancing under cover of the darkness and fog to ell; the heights, and plunge with paralysing energy upon,re exposed flank of the Second Division. The exposed na`3ld, e of this portion of the British position had been, it is sal perceived and pointed out by Sir De Lacy Evans sa!t% time ago. From some unexplained cause, however, thet warning was not attended to, and this remained the la° vulnerable, if not the only vulnerable point upon the lint of the British defences. It is farther noticeable, thee here also, nearly every point which was assailed in action of the sth instant had been essay theed in the at'3 k of the 26th of October, a circumstance favouring conjecture that the movements on that occasion "e_ merely attempts to ascertain the strength of the positio! and that the real endeavour to carry those defences delayed till the arrival of reinforcements, which the enew were in expectation of. The dispositions of the Russians, to secure surprise a 5 success, were made with considerable skill, and, in so far; the former object was concerned, with very danger°sf effect. Shortly before five o'clock a sharp rattle or musketry on the hill side to the left of the Light Divisii.° t gave intimation that a hostile force was advancing tlf direction. Favoured by the fog, the grey great coats al • the Russians rendered them nearly invisible, even a hat close at hand. So formidable was the unseen attack teat the picquets of the Light Division were obliged to rett;',- t upon their main body, and it speedily became evident t":, a desperate attempt was about to be made for the purP°{o of forcing the allies to raise the siege, and, if possible, drive them from their vantage ground, and push tlle into the sea. To aid in this attempt, a demonstration ‘l'3 made at the same time, by a body of cavalry and artillery supported by some infantry, in the valley above Balakla:er partly to direct the attention of the French occupyinl,‘"l, heights in that direction, and also to prevent the 3 land brigade, and marines, from rendering assistance ,t, the real point of attack ; and further, to take advantq.' of any event which might occur to favour the Russians, .r course of the day's proceedings. With this view thel cavalry were drawn up in order of battle, supported field artillery, and posted at the neck of the valley, to a to vance over the heights, and cut our retreating troops al pieces, should the main attack prove successful. A s!gbts telegraph had been erected by the Russians on the hog ue above Inkerman, to communicate with another on t'd hill, covering the position of this corps of reserve le observation, by which intelligence of our defeat was to a conveyed to the general commanding that corps; 3P• similar means were adopted for apprising the troops, be Sebastopol, of this anticipated co and to enable tb e garrison to make a general sortie. at the critical Mfg°. ment.

Monsieur le 'Marechal,—l have the 1143nour to confirm to you my telegraphic despatch, dated November 0, and thus worded :—" The Russian army, swelled by reinforce- ments coming from the Danube, and by the reserves collected in the southern provinces, and animated by the presence of the Grand' Dukes Michael and Nicholas, yes- terday attacked the right of the English position before the place. The English army sustained the combat with the most remarkable firmness. I caused it to be supported by the division of General Bosquet, which fought with admirable vigour, and by the troops nearest at hand. The enemy, far more numerous than we, beat a retreat with enormous loss, estimated at %OW or 9,000 men. This obstinate struggle lasted the whole day. On my left, General Forey had to repel, at the same time, a sortie of the garrison. The troops, energetically conducted by him, drove the enemy back into the place, and inflicted on him a loss of a thousand' men. This brilliant day, not pur- chased without loss by the allies,does the greatest honour to our arms." • The action summarily expressed by the despatch given above was one of the hottest and most violently contested. From the first musket shots that were fired, the deserters that came over to us revealed.the true state of the Russian army with respect to its effective strength, and we were enabled to calculate the reinforcements it has successively received since the battle of the Alma. These are-Ist, some contingents from the Asiatic coast, from Kertch and Kaffa ; 2ndly, six battalion& and some detachments of marines from Nicolaieff; 3rdiy, four battalions of the Cos- sacks of the Black Sea ; 4thly, a great part of the army of the Danube; 10thly, llthly, and 12thly, some divisions of infantry, forming the 4th corps, commanded by General Dannenberg. These three divisions were transported by posthorses, with their artillery,from Odessa to Simpheropol, in a few days. Finally arrived' the Grand Dukes Michael and Nicholas, whose presence could not fail to over-excite this army, which forms, with the garrison of Sebastopol, a total of at least 100,000 men. It was in this condition that 45,000 men of this army surprised the point of the heights at Inkerman, which the English army had not been able to occupy with sufficient forces. Only 6,000 English took part in the action, the remainder being employed on • the siege-works ; they vali- antly sustained the shock until General Bosquet, arriving with a part of his division, could lend them such aid as might ensure success. One hardly knows which most to praise, the energetic firmness with which our allies braved for a long time the storm, or the intelligent vigour dis- played by General Bosquet, when conducting a part of the brigades Bourbaki and d'Autemarre, in order to attack the enemy, who extended beyond them on the right. _ The -3rd regiment of 2onaves, under the chefs de batail- lOn Montaubon and Dubos, there justified most signally the old reputation of the arm. The Algerine Rifles (tirail- dears), Colonel de Wimpffen ; a battalion of the 7th Light Infantry, Commander Vaissier; and the 6th Regiment of the Line, Colonel de Camas, vied with them in ardour. Three times they crossed bayonets with the enemy, who only yielded ground after the third charge, upon which he left it strewed with his dead and wounded. The Russian heavy artillery and their fieldlpieces were very superior in number, and had a commanding position. Two horse batteries, Commander de la Boussiniere, and one battery of the 2nd division of infantry, Commander Barral, the whole under the orders of Colonel Forgeot, sustained, con- currently with the English artillery, the struggle during the entire day. The enemy decided on beating a retreat, leaving behind more than three thousand dead, a very large number of wounded, a few hundred prisoners, as well as several pArder chests, in the hands of the allies. His losses in the gross aggregate cannot be put down at less than from 8,000 to 10,000 men. men. To meet these formidable preparations, the best sitions available under the circumstances were ad01:"..,5 with alacrity and cool decision. The second division we, speedily got under arms, by Brigadier-General Pe father, on whom this command devolved through to illness of Sir De Lacy Evans ; one brigade of tts, division, consisting of the 41st, 47th, and 49th reginle"ffiue under Brigadier-General Adams, was advanced on the brow of the hill, to check the approach of the enemy i,„"fb, other (Pennefather's own), consisting of the 30th, ~9',;1;. and 95th regiments, were led to operate on their 0" Our troops were at once met by a tremendous fire of role shot and shell, from guns posted by the enemy oil high grounds in front of our position, and at this poino, was soon evident that at least forty pieces of heavy ,-e e lery had been brought tc,• bear against us. Whilst tu-(7. preparations had been made for our defence, Sir Ge°l:°eb Cathcart promptly turned out all of his division viilo were not employed in the trenches, and he speedkatii Portions of the 20th,. 21st, 46th, 57th, 63rd, and „f regiments against the enemy, directing them to the leitteli the ground occupied by the 2nd Division, which consis nt of only 2,200 men.

And now, (says the correspondent of the Timl in his general description of the fight,) commence the bloodiest struggle ever witnessed since war cursed the earth. It has been doubted by military hid rians if any enemy have ever stood a charge 01,,, the bayonet, but here the bayonet was often Pt`i, only weapon employed in conflicts of the most AL nate and deadly character.

The troops on duty in the trenches, under the orders of General de la Motterouge, marched against the enemy, who had already invaded two •of ' our batteries, and repulsed him, killing more than 200 men on the site of these batteries. Lieutenant-General Forey, commanding the siege corps, arrived by rapid and skilful evolutions with the troops of the Fourth Division to the support of the Guards in the trenches, and himself marched at the head of the sth bat- talion of the Chasseurs a pied. The Russians, repulsed along the whole line, retired precipitately on the fortifi- cation, with considerable loss, when General Lourmel, seeing them fly before him, and carried away by a chival- rous courage, flung himself headlong in the rear with his brigade, and fell' wounded under the very walls of the fortification. General Forey had much difficulty in extri- cating him from the very advanced position, to which, yielding to the impulse of superabundant courage, he had led his brigade. The brigade of Aurelle, which had occu- pied an excellent position on the left, covered'bis retreat, which was effected not without a certain loss under the fire of the fortifications. Colonel Niol, of the 26th Regi- ment of the line, who lost his two chefs-de-frataillon, had taken the command of the brigade, the energetic conduct of which was,beyond all praise. The enemy in this sortie lost a thousand men killed, wounded, or made prisoners, and, in addition to this, received a very considerable moral and physical check. The battle of Inkerman, and the contest maintained by the body of besiegers, has shed great glory on our forces, and has augmented the moral strength which the Allied armies have always possessed. At the same time we have suffered losses which must-be regretted. The English army has lost 2,400 men, killed or wounded, among which are to be reckoned seven generals, three of whom. are killed. The French army has suffered to the extent of 1,726 killed or wounded'. We have bitterly to regret the loss of General de Lourmel, since dead from his wounds, whose brilliant qualities promised a grand career in the future. It is my painful duty also to ac- quaint you with the death of Colonel du Cumas, of the 6th Regiment of the line, killed at the head of his troop, at the very instant in which they came in contact with the enemy The vigour of the Allied troops, subject as they were to the twofold struggles of a siege of unprecedented di& culty, and of battles which,recal the greatest struggles of our military history, cannot be too highly praised. THE GREERAI-EN-CHEF, CANROHERT. THE RUSSIAN GENERAL'S DESPATCH. A supplement extraordinary of the Invalide Russe, of November 14, contains Prince IVlenschikoff's report of the battle of Inkerman, of November 5 : The sortie against the English, directed by General Dannenberg, was very fortunate : eleven guns in the English batteries were spiked. On this the French ar- rived to the support of the English forces. The English siege artillery was placed in position, and it was not pos- sible for our field artillery to oppose it with advantage. The enemy's superiority in men, armed with carbines, occasions us great losses in horses, gunners, and officers of infantry. This circumstance did not permit us to finish, at least, without sacrificing the troops, the taking of the redoubts, which we had begun to carry. The retreat was effected in good order, and the dismounted guns were withdrawn from the field to Sebastopol. The Grand Dukes Nicholas and Michael were in the midst of this ter,4" -.lying an example ' froid. rire, , or courage and sang Simultaneously with this sortie, a regiment of infantry, accompanied by a light battery of artillery, executed a sortie against the French batteries, and spiked fifteen guns. Our loss in killed is not exactly known : the number of wounded is 109 officers and 3,500 men. General Soimonoff, who was wounded, has since died. Two other generals and five colonels have been wormded. Major- General Prince Menschikoff (not the commander-in-chief), one general, and one colonel have received contusions. General Dannenberg had two horses killed under him, and all the persons who surrounded him have been wounded. The loss of the enemy cannot have been less than ours ; la/Cll I, LULU VII 11V11 a ta. j wave, .. failing, he said coolly, " Have - you not er-eti or.; bayonets ?"
