rate of charge on large and small consumers, instead of a dif- ferential one in favour of the former. Mr. Robertston Gladstone said he thought the Guardian Society was right in the principle of insisting that all con- sumers should be charged alike for the quantities they rela- tively consumed. Any discount in favour of the large con- sumer could only be made at the expense of the poor. Mr. Reay explained that the differential system, alluded to by Mr. Mac Fie, had been found inconvenient and unjust, and had accordingly been given up. Mr. Mac Fie next explained his conviction that great incon- venience and no small amount of danger was incurred through the rash and inconsiderate way in which the pressure was put upon the gas at the principal reservoirs. He then repeated his disinclination to make any charge against the Gas Company. Mr. Henry Thredder, tobacconist, 14, Paradise-street, stated his conviction that the illuminating power of the gas had been much deteriorated within the last few years up to about three weeks ago. He complained of having experienced incivility from the servants of the Gas Company. He also considered the charges made for fittings and repairs by the company were exorbitant. The exaction of deposits for meters he considered iniquitous. In his own case, the company had exacted £3 155., as a deposit, and it was years before he could obtain restitution for it ; which he was only able to accomplish by deducting £1 from his gas payments quarterly. Mr. John Rumsay, tin-plate-worker, 7, Derby-street, stated that besides the premises he occupied in Derby-street, he had two shops in the bazaar; in one of the latter he did not burn gas, and had paid for the other. Notwithstanding this, the company demanded a quarter's gas-rent of him, and threat- ened, if he did not pay it, to cut off the, supply from his Derby-street premises. This demand he refused to comply with, and the matter remained in abeyance. Mr. Thomas Green, druggist, Wavertree-road, complained that although he had not increased his rate or time of burn- ing, his gas bills had materially increased in amount since the nominal reduction of the gas. For a period during which he had to pay 13s. 2d. he was now charged £1 12s. 4d. He also complained of the overcharges made by the Gas Com- pany for the services of their fitters. He was of opinion that the public would receive benefit by a separation of the fitting department from the gas supply. Mr. Thomas Corkhill, upholsterer, of Brunswick-road, com- plained that the gas had deteriorated in quality since the amalgamation of the two companies. He likewise complained of the exorbitant charges made for the rent of meters, and also of neglect on the part of the company in attending to complaints. In his own case he had experienced this diffi- culty. When his gas apparatus was out of order, he had sent to the company's offices to get the matter set right, which they had omitted to do, and his men were consequently thrown idle, to his loss and inconvenience. If permitted to give an opinion, he should state that the arbitrary demand of the company of a deposit of from Bs. to 10s. for each meter, was a great hardship on the poor. He might also mention that, in some instances which he knew of, the company refused to give a supply of gas to a new tenant, because the former one had run away in their debt, unless the new comer paid the arrears due by his defaulting predecessor. 31r. Wm. Jones, 19, Berry-street, said he complained of the charges for men's time. They came and went when they liked, and referred all enquiries to the gas office, where little satis- factory information was to be had. Mr. Thomas Quayle, 46, Mill-street, complained that since the reduction in price his bills had increased. From April 'to July, 1854, his bill was £1 2s. Bd.; ditto, 1855, £lss. ld. From July to April, 1854, £2 7s. sd. ; same period, 1855, £2 17s. 6d. He also complained of his wife having been insulted by 'the company's officers when she called to make complaint. Mr. 'William Aikin, 41, Great Charlotte-street, said he had felt satisfied that he was paying for more gas than he consumed. His quarterly bills had increased. In December, 1848, it was £1 13s. 3d.; in December, 1854, it was £3 lls. 3d., with gas at the same price, namely 4s. 6d. His yearly bills had gradually imcreased. For 1852 they amounted to £5 9s. 5d.; in 1853, £6 15s. Bd.; and 1854, £7 Bs. 6d. But the greatest discrepancy of all was this : —ln the six months ending June, 1854, his bill was £2 19s. Bd.; same time, 1855, £3 16s. 7d. In reply to Mr. Evans, he said the gas had been of a better quality during the last month. Mr. James R. Jeffery, (Jeffery, Morrish, and Co., Compton House,) said, he had been a consmer for the last twenty years. Complained of an increase in his bills since the reduction in price. From the 11th of January to the 17th April, 1854, the amount at 4s. 6d. per thousand feet was £67 9s. 2d. From the 26th December, 1854, to the 4th April, 1855, £7B Os. 11d. His bill for the quarter ending July 4th, 1854, was £3B 18s. sd. ; same period 1855, £44 16s. 4d. He did not see why the company should be allowed to charge for meters. Every other tradesman who sold by measure had to provide his own measure. He complained that the meter testers of 'the company did not agree in their results, when testing meters in their (Messrs. Jeffery and Co.'s) establish- ment. He thought the {proposed supervisor should be per- fectly independent of the company. He had found the com- pany's officers attentive and courteous, except on one occasion. He thought the charges of the company for fittings were ex- cessivefy high ; the result of the monopoly which the com- pany secured by being gas fitters. If they continued to be so, he thought that a separate account of profits should be kept for that department, as apart from the profits they derived simply as manufacturers -of gas. He had been much struck with the remarkable increase in the illuminating power -of the gar simultaneous with the •appearance of the gentle. man brought to town by the Corporation (Mr. Clegg) to test the gas meters. It was quite a mistake, he thought, to sup- pose that a second company would be any competition at all. He thought the present company might supply gas to the borough at 3s. per thousand with profit to themselves and ad- vantage to the consumer. When getting up the Guardian Gas Company, they had calculated that, even with the less consumption which they could have hoped to secure, they would be able to supply gas at 3s. 2d., with a good margin for profit. Mr. Evans here made a few remarks, to the effect that he considered the points proved were that, although there had been an apparent reduction in the-price of gas, the charge to the consumer had considerably increased —that irregularity in the meters had been shown to exist, and that it had proved that the present company could be worked more economically. Mr. Jeffery made some observations with a view of showing that it was advisable to move at once in the matter, for what might be advisable to the consumers to do now, might not be advisable in twelve months 'hence, if the:company laid out any further amount of capital. Mr. John Carter, 26, Redcross-street, complained that the quality of the gas had deteriorated, and increase of the bills. His bill for June 1854 had been £1 is. Bd.; June 1855, al- though there had been a reduction in price, and no more burners employed, £1 3s. He had always found that other people put up fittings quite -as good, and much cheaper than the company. Mr. John Richmond, 3, Paradise-street, complained of a -deficient suply, and increaseof charges. His bills from March to June, 1854, charged him for a consumption of 168,000 feet of gas ; for the same period of 1855, 198,000 feet, an increase of 15 per cent„ although he had in the meantime reduced many of his bnrners in size from twelves to fours. His bills from December to March, 1854, were £l3 Os. 2d. ; 1855, £l3 18s. 6d. Mr. Henry Hook, 24, London-road, complained of a defi- cient supply, especially on Saturday evenings. Mr. John 'Cripps, of Bold-sireet, sent a statement, according to which, his bills for the second quarter (ending July) of 1854 were £2 2s. Bd. ; 1855, £3 10s. Od., an increase which he was totally at a loss to account for.—Mr. J. Mackenzie sent a communication to show that the increase in his gas charges had been 32 per cent.—Mr. Charles Inman, of Everton, wrote to the committee, that the quality of the gas was much dete- riorated of late, and that he was compelled to have his ceilings newly coloured every year in consequence. The supply he had found sufficient. For the year 1842, with gas at 7s. per thousand feet, his bill was £5 Is. 5d.; for 1852, with gas at 4s. 6d., it was £9 Is. 6d., to his great astonishment, for he was not aware of any change in his consumption. He was in favour of an inspector of meters being appointed. This was the last witness examined, and the chairman said that he had received the following letter from Mr. Flintoff in reply to a letter read from Mr. Barlow at the last meeting : TO JOSEPH KITCHEN, ESQ., CHAIRMAN OF THE OAS COM- NUTTER: TOWN-HALL, LIVERPOOL. Sir,—ln the report of the proceedings of the gas committee of the Town Council, printed in the newspapers of this day, a letter appears from Mr. T. G. Barlow, calculated to mislead the public as to my evidence, printed on the 21st ultimo, and I ask, in com- mon fairness, to be allowed to give the following explanation I stated that, since the amalgamation of the two'gas companies, lin2;pB4eBr,ctelinet.g. aasndinthLati Liverpool had loss su s tbaeiennedreduced in public about source alone amounted to about 4,"92j803 17ys. 21edp.0 Ilperorvoemd this .evidar. ow,in the. company's own printed report of 1854, and the from the observations of Mr B on the Guardian Gas Bills, in 1847encr begr King. Its engineer, your committee to these documents,. 'which respectfully to refer .assertions as to the illuminating power e?, the Liverpool the truth of my In 1847, Mr. King states, that the gas' suppliedr Oyigaabs.un e consuming 4 feet per hour produced lights equal to 20 and 10-12t1h; of a wax candle consuming 143 grains per hour. In 1854, Mr. Barlow's observations show that the light from a similar burner was equal to 20 and 10 decimals of a candle con- suming only 120 grains per hour, or 23 grains per candle less than those used by Mr. King; so that the burner in 1354 pro- duced light equal to 2,653 grains of wax, while a similar burner in 1847 gave light equal to 2,979 grains of wax, or, as I stated in evidence, about 12i per cent. more light than we get now. I feel sorry that I should be driven, through Mr. Barlow's attempt to impugn my evidence, to trouble the committee with these explanations, and hope that the motives of that gentleman will be rightly understood, when I state that he is the editor of a monthly publication, issued to gloss over the defects of existing gas companies, against whom I have an action for libel now pending. I much regret that my evidence, as furnished to the newspa- pers, on the 21st ult., was so incomplete; and still more, that a series of questions calculated to elucidate all the facts known in connection with lighting Liverpool with gas, placed in the hands of Mr. Reay, were, for some reason unknown to myself and the committee, omitted altogether.—l am, sir, yours most respectfully, GEO. FLINTOFF. Gas Engineering-office, 4. Clayton-square, September 8, 1855. Mr. Reay said he must deny the assertion contained in the last paragraph of the letter, as he only received " the lot of evidence" referred to, ten minutes before he entered the room, and as he had not read it, it was not likely that he was going to examine Mr. Flintoff on it. The Court adjourned at a quarter to five o'clock, after making four hours' sitting. The attendance was very meagre throughout the afternoon, and for the last hour and a half consisted only of the chairman (Mr. Kitchen) and one mem- ber, Mr. Crosthwaite. It was understood that the Committee would meet again on Thursday. THE GIPSEY BRIDE AND THE ROYAL A3IPHITHEATRE.— We understand that arrangements have been made by the passengers and crew of the Australian packet Gipsey Bride, about to proceed on her second voyage, to patronise the Royal Amphitheatre to-morrow night. As the idea is quite new to Liverpool, or indeed to any other town in the kingdom, and as a meeting of this kind between passengers and crew is cal- culated to raise a kind feeling among them in the course of the voyage, we have no doubt that there will be a crowded house. A FooLisn OLD MAN.—Mary Lambert, a widow with two young children, was brought up at the Police-court yesterday, charged with being concerned in a robbery of £3O. William Jones, an old man, who stated that he was a rigger employed on the Australian ship Gipsey Bride, said he went into a grocery cellar kept by the prisoner in Slate-street, out of Great Howard-street, on Sunday afternoon. He had £3O in gold with him when he went in, and, at the request of the prisoner and another woman not in custody, he sent for three noggins" of whiskey. The drink took effect on him, he fell asleep in the chair and when he awoke, he was alone in the cellar, and all his money gone. Information was given to the police, and an officer went in, but found the place deserted and all in darkness. He waited for some time, obtained the assistance of another officer, and then went again, when they apprehended the prisoner and her children, and found a sovereign on the floor, under a bed. No other money was found, and at the request of Superintendent Clough the ease was adjourned for a week. The officer stated that a person wag rql*ed of r 3 in the same den a fortnight ago,

remain at their posts, and that on their retreat the Russians do not destroy anything. Another despatch, also dated Marseilles, September 21, says :-- We learn by the Carmel that Omar Pasha has left for Asia Minor, but without the troops he was to have taken with him. The Angloatirkish Contingent remains at Constantinople, and the Odoman army remains in the Crimea. Great uncertainty prevails respecting the probable move- ments of the Russian army. The plans of the allies also remain secret, despite all the reports in circulation. When the steamer which brought this news to Constantinople left the Crimea, a grand council of war was being held by the Generals and Admirals of the allies. The French Ambassador at Constantinople had placed the palace of the embassy at the disposal of the commandant of the town, for the reception and treatment of the sick and wounded officers from Sebastopol. A telegraphic despatch from Prince Gortschakoff to his Government, dated the 17th of September, says : The enemy has not undertaken anything against the north aide of Sebastopol. The troops of the allies are concentrating between Balaklava and the Tchernaya. They are making reconnaissances from the valley of Baklar on our left flank. THE RUSSIAN LOSSES AT SEBASTOPOL—The losses of the enemy at the taking of Sebastopol are much larger than was calculated. It results, from information which has reached official quarters, that the enemy has no less than 20,000 men hors de combat, from the bombardment and final assaults. Twenty general officers were either killed or wounded. The losses of the allies, including French, English, Piedmontese, and Turks, together with the naval forces, is estimated at about 13,000 hors de combat, which is 2000 less than the original estimate of our casualties.

CATTLE. LIVERPOOL, OCT. 1. —We have to report a considerable falling off in the supplies of stock at this day's market, the quality of which was also inferior. Beef was in good demand at id per lb. advance, and soon cleared off. Mutton recovered the depression of the last two weeks, and prime qualities were ex- tremely scarce. A good clearance of all sorts at fully id per lb. improvement. Beef, 6id to 62d; mutton, bid to 7d. Cattle, 2,112 ; sheep, 9,988. SALFORD, SEPT. 26.—There was a good market at last week's prices. Calves sold more readily. • There was a good clearance made. Best beef, 6d to 7d ; middling, sid to sid ; cows, 4d to sid ; best wedders, 6d to 7d ; heavy weights, s}d•to sid ; ewes, 4d to s}; calves, 5d to 7d. Number of beasts, 1,303; sheep, 8,750; calves, 80. DUBLIN, SEPT, 27.—The market was not quite so large as last week, but still more than average supply ; middling and inferior were difficult to dispose of. Veal steady. Pigs rather difficult to sell at the present quotations. Beef, in sink, 50s to 60s per cwt.; mutton, 5d to 6.id a old; veal, 7d to 7id per lb; pork, 55s to 56s per cwt.

FRANKLIN, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, of the Faculte de SI edecine de Paris, and Honorary Member of the College of Physicians, Washington, and author of several medical works, may be consulted daily on all Diseases, Nervous Debility, &c. &c., at his residence. No. 4, FRANCIS-STREET, GOLDEN-SQUARE, LONDON. Dr. FRANKLIN is one of the very few legally qualified physi- cians who have directed attention ;o these diseases; from long practical observation of the treatment pursued in the most cele- brated institutions of this country and the continent, has had, perhaps, unusual opportunities of witnessing the various pecu- liarities relating to the disorders; and having for a number of years devoted his studies almost exclusively to this class of com- plaints, he is enabled confidently to undertake their removal in as short a time as is consistent with safety. Dr. F., to distinguish himself from non-qualified men, refers to his qualifications as above, and he earnestly cautions the public against a host of ignorant pretenders and rapacious Jew quacks, who infest the various seaports, and to make strict inquiry before risking life, &c., in the hands of such empirics. A list of pretenders in Liver- pool sent on application. Persons at a distance will be minute in the detail of their cases; and no letters from strangers will be replied to unless they con- tain by Post-office order or otherwise, when Advice and Medi- cines will be sent securely packed from observation or accident.

ON THE 29TH OF MAY, 1833, AN INJUNCTION WAS GRANTED BY THE HIGH COURT OF CHANCERY, AND ON THE 11TH OF JUNE FOLLOWING WAS MADE PERPETUAL, AGAINST JOSEPH FRANK- LIN AND OTHERS, TO RESTRAIN THEM, UNDER A PENALTY OF £l,OOO, FROM IMITATING THIS MEDICINE, WHICH IS PRO- TECTED BY ROYAL LETTERS PATENT OF ENGLAND, AND SECURED BY THE SEALS OF THE ECOLE DE PHARMACIE DE PARIS AND THE IMPERIAL COLLEGE OF MEDICINE, VIENNA. TRIESEMAR, No. 1, is a Remedy for Relaxation, Spermatorr- hoea, and Exhaustion of the System. TRIESEMARTM: in the short apace of Three Days, completely and entirely eradicates all traces of those dis- orders which Capsules have so long been thought an antidote for, to the ruin of the health of a vast portion of the population.

THE FASHIONS. NOVELTIES in fashion, adapted to the change of season, are now beginning to appear. The newest bonnets are of a less gay and light description than those which were worn in the height of summer. Some, composed of light straw, are trimmed with black velvet ribbon, two or three inches wide, crossed over the bonnet twice or thrice. The strings are also formed of black velvet ribbon ; and the under-trimming con- sists of tulle and small white and coloured flowers intermingled. A bonnet of fancy straw, ornamented with a pattern in black velvet and chenille, has been trimmed with bows of sarsenet ribbon, of a rich royal- blue tiny; and the edges of this ribbon are bordered by a very narrow row of black velvet. Small dahlias, formed of red velvet and blonde, compose the under- trimming. Bonnets of grey straw, and of straw of different colours intermingled, are in great favour, especially for the country. Several very pretty dresses of white worked muslin have just been completed. They are intended for young ladies' ball costume, and are to be worn in the country. Some of these dresses are very elegantly trimmed with wreaths of flowers mounted in the chatelaine style, and descend from one side of the waist over the skirt of the dress. Almost all flowers have a pretty effect on a dress of white muslin ; but of wreaths prepared for dresses of the kind above mentioned, those composed of datura, with its purple flowers and leaves of different tones of green, are most admired. Wreaths of magnolia and of honeysuckle are also among the favourites ; and one, very effective, consists of long green leaves intermingled with sprays of coral. Many dresses of worked muslin and organdy consist of a skirt made in the peignoir form and a jacket corsage. These dresses, some of which have been prepared for ladies of high fashion, are intended for morning costume. _ The various kinds of silk, as well as other materials, recently produeed for promedade dresses, are of the [OCTOBER 2, 1855. _.......... ter rich and deep hues suitable for the autumn and win e_ seasons. In mantles, no novelty of any importan has appeared, beyond what has been already notice in recent numbers of the Lady's Newspaper.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY. BROTH ImPRomPTu.--Should you have occasion for a basin of broth in a hurry, it can be prepared. in a few minutes by boiling a table-spoonful of grits in a pint of water, addinc, four or five sprigs of parsley, two drops of eschala vinegar (vide Epicure's Al- manac, 1841), a teaspoonful of mixed sweet herb's ; when all has boiled up twice, strain through a fine sieve, and serve with toasted bread. GINGERBREAD.-Put on a slab or table a pound of flour, make a ring of it ; put half a pint of treacle in, mix well together till forming a stiff paste, working it well. Put some flour in a basin, to which add your dough ; it will keep thus for seven or eight weeks. When you want to use it, put in any quantity of ground ginger you require, according to taste ; mix well, roll thin; cut any size you like ; pieces about the size of a crown are the best ; then put them on a baking sheet, bake for a few minutes, till crisp. These cakes will keep a long while if put in air-tight cases. An ounce of butter may be used to every pound of paste. _ _ - GROUND RICE CAKE.—Break five eggs into a stewpan, which place in another containing hot water ; whip the eggs for ten minutes till very light, then mix in by degrees half a pound of ground rice, six ounces of powdered sugar ; beat it well ; any flavour may be introduced : pour into buttered pan, and bake half an hour. LITTLE MILK CAKE FOR BREAKFAST.—PIace on a table or slab one pound of flour, half a teaspoonful of salt, two of sugar, three of fresh yeast,- or a very small piece of German, two ounces of butter and one egg ; have some new milk, pour in a gill, mix all together, adding more milk to form a nice dough, then put some flour in a cloth, put' the dough in and lay it in a warm place ; let it rise for about two hours, cut it in pieces about the size of eggs, roll them even, and mark the top with a sharp knife ; egg over and bake quick : serve hot or cold. A COMMON SoRT.---Only yeast, salt, milk, and butter, and proceed as before. LEMON PUDDING.---Put in a basin a quarter of a pound of flour, same of sugar, same of bread crumbs and chopped suet, the juice of one good-sized lemon, and the peel grated, two eggs, and enough to make it the consistency of porridge ; boil in a basin for one hour ; serve with or without sauce.

TO GAS CONSUMERS THE PATENT GAS REGULATOR insures a saving of 25 per Cent. upon former consumption, while at the same time a more brilliant light is obtained, and the un- pleasant effects upon respiration, gilding, colours, &c., resulting from the escape of unconsumed Gas, are, by a more perfect com- bustion, avoided. Gas is generally delivered from the Street Mains at a pressure of la inches of water, often reaching to 3 inches. Experiments have demonstrated that when of good quality it is most economi- cally burnt at a pressure of four-tenths of an inch. The Patent Regulator, when once adjusted, continues to furnish Gas at one uniform pressure. unaltered by the constant fluctua- tions of the street supply, and in its action is entirely independent of the number of burners it supplies. At the undermentioned Offices an Experimental-room is fitted up to demonstrate the results as above stated. The Regulator has been thoroughly and practically tested at the numerous Railway Companies, large Establishments, Public Institutions, and Private Mansions, to which we can with pleasure and satisfaction refer as the best proof of its utility and value.

In consequence of Cholera, of a ost viru- lent and fatal character, having visited the Town last m year, the operations of the Institution were most arduous and extensive. The number of Cases attended and supplied with Medicine was 40,732, exceeding those of the previous year by 5,318. From various causes the expenses were unavoidably augmented, whilst, concurrently with the increased expenditure, and the debt re- maining from the previous year, the Income suffered diminution to the extent of upwards of £6OO. NEV SUBSCRIPTIONS are urgently Solicited, as the present Amount falls considerably short of the Annual Expenditure. If this Inadequate Support and Pressure of Debt be suffered to continue, there will be no alterna- tive but to limit the operations of the Charity. The Committee earnestly hope that an institution which has been in existence nearly Eighty Years,. and which affords Aid Annually to thou. sands of the suffering Poor, thereby arresting Misery and Disease to a vast extent, will plead eloquently in its behalf, and he responded to by their Fellow-townsmen with ready Sympathy and Support.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. 1. WHO ARE THE SANTALS ?—" Who are the Santals?" is a question which, until recently, few even in India could answer. The name is familiar enough to those who have paid much attention to the condition of the aborigines of India, and much light has been thrown on the habits of the people by recent missionary re- searches. Thus a very elaborate description of u branch of the tribe—a branch which is not yet, we hope, implicated in the insurrection—will be found in a work lately published in London, entitled, " India as a Field of Foreign Missions," by Mr. Macleod Wylie. It is sufficient for our present purpose to say that the Santals, though possessing many of the characteristics of the real hill tribes, whose similarity, if not identity, as they exist throughout the country from the hills of Assam to those of the Conchn, is so remarkable, are still in many respects distinct from their Highland neighbours. As we have already said, they occupy rather the lower slopes of the hills than the hills them- selves, and, extending as they do from Bhaugulpore to Orissa, they form a sort of connecting link between the various hill tribes which occupy the higher regions of that section of country. Thus, although any direct communication between the present insurgents and the hillmen of Orissa would be out of the question, yet by means of the Santals, who are common to both districts, such a communication becomes easy. And to this circumstance it is that the rapid spread of the disaffection seems to be attributable. For the rest, the Santals are little better than savages ; they are for the most part destitute of firearms, but they in a measure make up for disadvantage by their skill in the use of the bow, which they do not hesitate to render more deadly by the cruel device of poisoned arrows. Their religion is a simple and barbarous idolatry, the worship of stocks and stones, without any of those mystical refinements by which the idolatry of the Hindoos is overlaid. Their mythology, compared with that of the Hindoos, is almost a blank, and they have no notions of caste. Their food consists of almost any- thing that can be eaten, from toads and caterpillars up to tigers and horned cattle, for the flesh of kine is not forbidden. As to their vices, it is certain from their recent proceedings that they combine cowardice with cruelty to a remarkable degree, for they war with women and children as well as men, and unlike the North American Indian, who prizes most a warrior's scalp, the head of a woman is to the Santal the most acceptable trophy that he can take away from the village of his enemy. But with all this it is remark- able that the Santals are distinguished for a love of truth, which exists nowhere else among the natives of India. Their numbers are said to amount to 100,000 fighting men, and if they are joined by the other tribes, the number of Vindhyan-hill men capable of bearing arms against us would become formidable indeed. It is not supposed that any attempt will be made durinc, the present season to do more than drive the enemy ttO the hills and keep them there. Next cold season will be the time for active offensive operations ; and most signal retribution for the damage done must be in- flicted, if the shock which this affair has given to our prestige is to be recovered from.---Delhi Gazette. ignored." If conciseness is desirable in expression, " ignored" is better than " left out of the question ;" besides, the word means more than that phrase, and than the term " excluded." To ignore is wilfully and cunningly, and deceitfully, to leave out of the ques- tion ; fraudulently to overlook ; mendaciously to affect not to know ; to blink ; to pretend ignorance of a fact that the fact may pass unnoticed, and not be taken into account. It is a word which describes, with beau- tiful precision, a thing very common both in the writings and conversation of zealots and bigots, and especially of solemn ecclesiastical humbugs ; it com- pendiously expresses one of their artifices ; it neatly bottles off a puff of their smoke ; therefore they don't like it : but therefore it is a lovely word, and well de- serving of incorporation with the Queen's English. THE PIOUS PUFFERS.---It must be very painful to a sincere professor of those doctrines by which self- glorification is especially condemned, to find himself continually made the subject of puffing paragraphs. We have already called attention to the lamentable case of poor dear Doctor Cumming, who has been so bespattered, besmeared, and bedaubed with booksellers' puffery, that we naturally begin to look for a list of his works in that portion of a newspaper which is devoted to medical and miscellaneous quackery. Some of our friends have become so thoroughly possessed with the idea of a connection between the name of Cumming and newspaper notoriety, that we have been seriously asked, whether the lion-slayer at the top of the Haymarket is the same Cumming whose appella- tion has been made the subject of that familiarity which is said to lead to contempt, through the medium of advertisements. We should scarcely be surprised if the pious puffers of Dr. Cumming's books were to take advantage of the popularity of the present con- nection between the name of Cumming and the King of Beasts, and were to send forth a list of his works with the words, " Dr. Cumming, the Great Religious Lion of the Day," by way of an attractive '.heading. While we are on the subject of pious puffs, we may as well remonstrate against a paragraph we lately met with, in which one Doctor Close, the idol of the old maids of Cheltenham, has been introduced with the interesting accessory of a bad leg, or something of the sort, for which he has been taking a trip somewhere on the Continent. The newspaper puff informs us that his leg is getting better, and that his " people" at Cheltenham will soon have him back, and that he thinks of his "lambs," or:some twaddle or other, which will, of course, go the round of all the Cheltenham tea-tables. If Doctor Close's anile admirers like to be called his " people," we see no objection to the title ; but when we recollect that the Doctor was one of those who wrote a book to prove the Satanic agency of table-turning and spirit-rapping, we think that a better term than that of " lambs" might be found for those who accept the Reverend gent as their guide ; and we should be disposed, in selecting a word from the animal creation, to describe them as Dr. Close's donkeys. The over-sanctimonious, and not over- charitable portion of the public, will believe, or rather will assert without believing it, that we intend to sneer at religion or its ministers, because we denounce the quackery and puffery which make the latter con- temptible. It is, however, obvious to common sense, that the clerical profession is only degraded by the unwholesome pandering to personal vanity, to which it is in these days so much exposed, and which has placed a " popular preacher" and a " popular per- former" in much the same position. We simply wish to put down that morbid and usually feminine feel- ing with reference to parsons which developes itself in working slippers and antimacassars, or in giving silver tea-pots to unmarried clergymen. We recollect an instance in which a bachelor divine had been presented with so many embroidered shoes and tea services by the spinsters of his flock, that he might ;have started with a capital stock, as either a slipper dealer or a silversmith ; but happening to marry a lady out of the parish, he was nearly torn to pieces by his fair adorers, who called on him to return all the plate that had been presented to him for his bachelor piety---his single blessedness.

THERE has been a considerable degree of agitation in London recently, owing to another advance in the minimum rate of discount by the Bank of England, and another decrease in the stock of bullion in the Bank coffers. These changes were accompanied by reports of extraordinary demands for gold, of pre- parations being made for anticipated pressure, and of apprehensions for commercial security. This in- cipient panic, which to many may appear as the pre- cursor of monetary troubles, is in reality little more than the result of operations by speculators for a fall in the funds, rendered successful by a combination of circumstances, separately of comparative insignificance. It is true that there is a decrease in the stock of bullion, arising probably from a demand for export, which after all is to no great amount ; but such an event is comparatively unimportant,unless accompanied by other circumstances, such as a prospective decline, or a serious diminution in the reserve of notes. These, however, do not appear to be the case, for there ap- pears no reason to anticipate increased demands upon the bullion resources, and the decrease in the reserve is only one-fourth the amount of the decline in bullion, leaving a margin of more than seven millions and a quarter against contingencies. It must be borne in mind that the whole of the interest attaching to the question arises from the Act of 1844, requiring the Bank of England to re- strict its issue of notes within fourteen millions be- yond the stock of bullion, a limit which has not yet been exceeded, and which in the present case is not within the bounds of probability, as the total right of issue, according to the last return is, £26,695,250, while the actual circulation is only £19,408,435, leaving a margin of £7,286,815, an amount far ex- ceeding any probable requirements ; and, if even the contingency should arise, simply needing a suspension of the law as was done some years ago. Then comes the question as to the increase in the rate of discount, and this may be accounted for by the increased demands for accommodation, as shown by the returns, the addition to " other securities " being no less than £1,120,494. So that, while the directors of the Bank of England are fully justified in taking advantage of the demands for discount, their proceedings afford no reasonable grounds for any alarm. It will be observed on reference to the returns that the amount of public deposits is no less than £8,389,892,-a prudent provision against the 'require- ments for the expenditure of the war, and the ap- proaching payment of the dividends, and at the same time a circumstance which may account in some measure for the absorption of capital irrespective of other influences. If, however, we look to commercial affairs, we shall search in vain for anyjustification of uneasiness, except such as may be created by designing parties for their own special advantage, for prices were never more steadily maintained, and rarely has there ' been such freedom from purely speculative operations. It is true that there are the instalments of the several loans to provide for, but these still bear a premium, 'and the whole amount is far below the calls which some years ago were made upon monetary resources for the purposes of railway construction. The occurrence of such commotions as this to which we have just alluded has naturally led to many reflec- tions upon the propriety of maintaining the restrictions of the Bank Act of 1844, particularly as it has been proved by experience to be practically inoperative for all beneficial purposes, and only brought into exercise when its inutility has rendered its suspension'necessary. If the Bank of England be, as it is professed to be, a national institution entrusted with the payment of the national creditor, and the manufacturer of the legal currency as far as notes of the value of £5 and up- wards is concerned, there is no solid reason why any restraint should be placed upon the amount of its issues, except such as naturally arises from the protect tion of its own interests and that limit which monetary operations necessarily impose. The limitation of the amount of each note to the value of £5 is a far more effectual restriction against an over-issue than any imposed by the act referred to ; but, while this is unno- ticed and comparatively not felt, the other is a fertile source of disquietude, enabling unprincipled speculators to disturb a wholesome state of monetary security for their own gain. The same act imposes restrictions upon the issues of provincial banks, limiting them to the average immediately preceding the passing of the act, and thereby virtually enacting that trade and commerce, which in their extension require an exten- sion of the currency, shall never be augmented with- out a corresponding increase in the stock of gold and silver. Such a law imposes far more effectual fetters upon industry than was ever done by Customs' duties on Foreign Imports, which excited so much the clamour of the Free Traders_; but its influence was less palpab ble, and therefore it has been suffered to pass compa- ratively unheeded. It has virtually created a mono- poly of capital not plainly perceptible to those inte- rested in the value of labour, and therefore they have submitted to the injustice. But monetary panics, however unreasonable, and the more unreasonable the more cause for remedies, should excite attention to the state of the law, and lead to a demand for its repeal or alteration. Such a demand will not be made by the Bank of England, for that establishment derives an immediate profit from a state of things which en- hances the value of its resources; but commercial men have a direct interest in the question, and should press it upon the attention of the legislature. Such a state of affairs is almost sure to lead to pro- posals which their respective authors deem to be the perfection of wisdom ; and amongst the many schemes propounded is one for the issue by the government of an amount of notes equivalent to the annual taxation. Unfortunately for the success of such a scheme, the notes so issued would necessarily displace those already in circulation, and in every payment of taxes would require specie for amounts below the value of each note Another circumstance which would render the scheme inoperative is the fact that the currency for the pur- poses of revenue is at no time more than a few millions, the annual taxation repeatedly changing hands in receipts and payments during the year, and only re- quiring to be represented by the balance in hand. The most that could be effected by such a scheme would be to add to the currency an amount of £1 notes which should not be redeemable in gold, but should be at all times a legal tender in the payment of taxes and duties; and unless the total amount of these was restricted within very narrow limits they would prove more harm than good. YAOM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT. ~. MONDAY MORNING. WITHIN the Present limited circle of what is conventionally called London society, few weeks have passed of late years which, in point of excitement, curiosity, and regret, could for an instant bear CoMparison With that which came to a close on Saturday last. For a considerable period prior to the com- mencement of that week, it was generally known that, in accordance with a pre-concerted 'arrangement between the French and EngliSh Generals, combined attacks were made on the chief defences of the town of Sebastopol. It was also known that the attack of our Allies had been eminently suc- cessful, and that our own had failed ; but it was further known that, whatever were the causes or the circumstances which led to the failure of our assault upon the Great Redan, that failure was not brought ahoutwithout the loss of many of our gallant soldiers, while no one would or could believe that prodigies of valour had not been. performed ere our noble warriors could be persuaded to relinquishthe baStion, in which, after an incre- dibly severe struggle, they had for a time at least established themselves. Full information, 'Official' and secular, has now revealed to the public a systematic narrative of the events which preceded, accompanied, and followed the series of oper- ations conjointly undertaken by the Allies. From that infor- mation it is clear that the struggle has been more severe, and that its results have been even greater than there was just reason to infer from the very meagre reports which had been previously received. The fullest amount of intelligence conveys likewise the most ample indication of the real value of the victory as of the dreadful contest through which it was achieved. That victory was undoubtedly a great one, and yesterday, in compliance with the Royal injunction, it was ac- knowledged throughout the land in strains of humbled thank- fulnessbeforethe throne of Him who is at once the God of battles and the avenger of blood. While the achievement of such a tri- umph affords abundant grounds for rejoicing, it is nevertheless accompanied by circumstances calculated to awaken feelings having but small similitude to joy. These feelings are ex- cited not merely because many lives were sacrificed in one of the most desperate assaults recorded in the annals of modern war, but in a yet greater degree, because, at the very mo- ment of real victory, the glories of our valiant countrymen were clouded by the gloom of apparent defeat. Explained or modified by what circumstances soever may be found the most truthful or the most plausible, and however thoroughly We may feel assured that whatever bravery and self-devotion I had almost written self-immolation, could effect in enabling our brave troops to retain the footing they had gained in the angle of the Redan was applied, it is still mortifying to know that they had to relinquish that footing. Under any circum- stances this mortification must be great, but it would be greatly aggravated, if upon inquiry it is found, as has been alleged, that there was a want of generalship to direct the assault in all its complicated and dangerous details ; and still more so if, as. has been on the other hand averred, that there was a want of alacrity on the part of the soldiers to follow their officers in the dread affray. The heart sickens to read the narrative of the deadly encounter, the blood runs cold on becoming acquainted with the sad account of the assault on the Redan, where our brave though inexperienced troops, forcing their way into the angle of the embattled fortifications at its apex, were swept down as they entered by a broad base line of deadly missiles from the guns of its obdurate defenders. Grave accusations have been advanced on both the points referred to; but these convey charges too important to be lightly repeated ; they imply too serious a charge in the one instance on the courage of the soldiers : in the other, on the capacity of the commander, to be readily adopted or cursorily passed over. The question demands, and will, without doubt, obtain due investigation. Authentic information will, ere long, be obtained on the subject, till which time it is but fair to presume that the ensigns, which were so heroically borne through the brunt of Inkerman, were bravely carried and valorously supported in front of the traverses of the Great Redan ; that the Commander-in-Chief is entitled to credit for his premeditated arrangements. In reference to this san- guinary combat, public opinion is uncompromisingly condem- natory of the meagre and bald generalties by which it is indicated in General SIMPSON'S despatch. Every one feels, and few are slack in saying, that \ such a contest called for something more graphic in its details than the vague allu- . . . sions to it in the document referred to. These latter point in a temper the reverse of placid to the luminous account given by General. PELtssrEu, and yet more lucid despatch of General NIEL, as indications that dignity is • not incompatible with strong description, and that mere brevity, however laconic, is but a sorry substitute for breadth of narrative and clearness of delineatiOn. Many of those who take the gloomy view of the affair maintain that the meagreness of General SIMPSON'S description arises from his want of personal knowledge of the matter, and stoutly argue from such premises his incapacity to hold the command entrusted to him. Others, with at least an equal show of reason, ridicule the idea that any man is to be held incompe- tent as a general because he has not the descriptive fluency of a practical litterateur, and point for justification of their good opinion to the complimentary testimony borne to the English share in the general operations by the French Commander-in- chief, and also to that of his Chief of Engineers, General NIEL, both of whom, it cannot be denied, speak in highly favourable terms of the gallantry with which the assault upon the Great Redan was made, and of the indomitable bravery with which its assailants deported themselves in making the attack under very trying and disadvantageous circumstances, and also in maintaining themselves in the unequal combat which they were compelled to wage, after they had fought their way within the fatal battlements. British society, jealous of its military renown, refuses to endorse the encomiums of a gene- rous ally, unless some ground is shown for believing that the encomiums so accorded are deserved. Many of the least querulous of our countrymen, of all ranks, scan with gratified eye the narrative of preparations made by the French for the dread struggle of the assault. " During the few days imme- diately preceding the assault," says the French engineer, " the workmen of the infantry were principally employed in enlarging the several places d'arrnes most in advance, in widening the passages, and in transporting to the required spots the means of crossing the ditches." The result of all this preparation was, that the stormers of the French attack issued from their places of shelter in compactly-formed masses. They swarmed out in vast numbers, and the supporting parties were launched to the aid of the storm4ers, also in compact and rapidly successive bodies. The assailants were preceded or accompanied by engineers and artificers who speedily threw plank bridges across the ditch, entered the fortress along with the forlorn hope, and pro- ceeded with the construction of shelter for their fighting com- rades ; cut off the Russian communications with the mines they meant to spring, and in short displayed all the resources of a well-provided army, in which practical knowledge and forethought secured them the unembarrassed advantages to be derived from those resources. When the inquirer into such operations turns his attention to the British preparations, what there rivets his gaze and dims his eye with grief ?- Sir HARRY JONES, the English chief engineer, says :—" In consequence of attacking the salient only, no. front could be- farmed; on ac- count of the small interior space at that point ;. the men were forced to advance by driblets, and at the same moment fired on from traverses on either flank where they- could, not see their assailants ; an evil at once obviated had the attack on the flanks and salient been. simultaneous." The concurrent testimony of at least half-a-dozen narratives, establishes the facts that the English attacking column never was sufficiently strong for the magnitude and importance as well as danger of the assault. There was not sufficient support in, reserve, and what was, there was no arranged means for bringing up. No preparation for crossing the ditch was made,,and the scarp was taken by escalade, the most disadvantageous and dangerous mode of entering a breach. No provision appearsto have been made, as on the French side, for even an attempt to cut off the enemy's communication with his mine. Nor was any one appointed to spike the pans. Here, assuredly, is a discrepancy of preparation sufficient to strike the attention of any one, however little or however much conversant with such matters ; and it has arrested general attention and. given rise to serious. comment. As to the courage of the troops, it has been said that they became disheartened and disobedient, losing the advantages cf such aid as they might otherwisehave derived from discipline.. To such an accusation as this the public ear is feelingly acute., If under the trying circumstances which have just been alluded to the soldiers had wavered and hesitated, the act: could hardly have been held an impeachment of their courage. Did they do so ? is a question of ina small moment. On,this, important point General NIEL'S opinion is of value ; whet says he ? " The English had 200 metres of ground to &o over under a terrible fire of grape, This space was presently covered with dead, but these losses could not stop the march of the attacking column, which advanced to the capital of the work. It descended into the ditch, which was about five metres in depth, and, notwithstanding all the efibrts of the Russians, it escaladed the scarp and took from them the salient of the Redan'; but after the first struggle, which cost the Russians dear, the English soldiers found nothing before. them but a vast open space, crossed in all directions by the balls of the enemy, who themselves were sheltered beharid distant traverses. Those who came up were scarcely- suffickut to replace those who were placed hors de combat. It was not until they had sustained during nearly two hours this un- equal combat, that the English resolved to evacuate the Redan." In these few sentences will be readily perceived a gallant soldier's tribute to the constancy and courage of our troops; and in them a military critic will not be slow to recognize an experienced officer's opinion of the arrangements of our commanders. A proverb of classical authority informs us, that " the shoe- maker should not go beyond his last;" and sheltering them- selves behind the entrenchments which can be raised out of this scrap of antique wisdom, it has, particularly of late, become the fashion for military officers to treat with high disdain the opinions of civilians upon matters of martial import. Recent occurrences connected with this war have given cause for seriously questioning official capacity in every grade. Many a man, who six months ago would have shrunk from this idea, now boldly propounds to himself the question, " Do our military men really understand their profession ?" The interrogatory once breathed, a host of circumstances crowd readily on the recollection which cause its repetition, and furnish lively illustrations in the negative. Stretching the retrospect over a few years does not greatly mend the matter in favour of our military monopolists. Lord Viscount HA.RDINGE is now Commander-in-chief of HER MAJESTY'S Forces. He and Lord Goucat were some years ago moving the Anglo-Indian army in the Sutlej territory, in observation of the Sikh force, when they accidentally learned that that force had passed them, and was marching to attack their army. A few days afterwards, when their troops were preparing dinner, having just halted for the day, the main body of the Sikhs came suddenly upon them. A fierce struggle ensued in which the enemy was repulsed, but not before some thousands of the English army had been slain. These great com- manders not only allowed their opponents to evade them ; but, in spite of the knowledge of this, no videttes nor outposts were placed, and they were themselves surprised. Could a civilian have much more grossly miscon- ducted a military enterprise? A year or two subse- quent to the event referred to above, the same Lord GOUGH, while reconnoitering the army of SIIERE SINGH, which-was strongly posted in the jungle, and who was not inclined, nor then in a position adVantageously to attack, was sn ,thrown off his guard by irritation, occasioned by a cannon- ball coming too near him, that he instantly ordered an attack upon the jungle, which, as might have been expected under the circumstances of the case, entirely failed, but was not discontinued till many men and officers had fallen victims to this want of self-control. In the Crimea, have we not had such a series of military mischances as to justify the suspi- cion that absolute wisdom does not reckon very high among the military virtues at head-quarters ? Who does not recal with sorrow and regret the significant exclamation of the French commander, while surveying the dreadful grandeur of the "Death-ride" at Balacklava;—" This is magnificent, but it is not war ?" Is it possible, so far, to forget the mur- derous surprise at Inkerman, or to bury in oblivion the ill- contrived attack on the Redan, on the 18th of June, as to believe that none but military men can offer an opinion upon military management ? Such reminiscences are fatal to prestige. To professional ears it may savour of impertinence, if a civilian offer criticism on the tactics of a campaign, or attempt to censure the arrangements of a battle ; but assuredly, the events connected with the assault on the Redan, on the Bth of last month, will force upon the attention of many a household the unwelcome question, do our military men understand their profession ? To many a hearth the answer to that ques- tion will carry terror and mourning. Blunders so fatal, and so frequently repeated, create an interest which cannot be stifled, and will not be evaded ; the barrier of etiquette will no longer be able to defend them from investigation, and with investigation must come some means for their remedy. While the topics referred to have taken deep hold of the public mind, almost to the exclusion of every other considera- tion, one or two matters have met with some degree of atten- tion. Among those few things, the fact of an agricultural so- ciety held, of all places on earth, in Tipperary, has given.room for some amount of speculation. The Tipperary Agricultural Society is a new institution, of which the Earl of DERBY is patron. It held its first annual meeting a few days ago,and Lord STANLEY acting as his father's representative, presided on the occasion. This meeting is remarkable on many grounds, not the least notable or gratifying of which is the fact, that such a society could have been introduced and taken root in a locality which has generally been remarkable for its disturbances, its poverty, and the bad feeling which existed and manifested itself in the occupiers of the land against its owners. •In such a place, the existence, and the open meeting, of a society with a hundred and twenty members, each paying one pound a-year, and in which the owners and occupiers of land assemble for the cultivation of friendship and good feeling not less than for the purposes of mutual co-operation and instruction; is, indeed, an event not only of the district bat of the country. A few years only have elapsed since the land in Ireland began to pass from the hands of insolvent proprietors into those of parties whose means enable them to discharge the dutieS, as well as to enjoy the rights, of property, and mark the difference:—ln one of the most usually disturbed 'districts, of the country, peaceful pursuits have taken the place of riotous animosity. Landlords and tenants meet for the exchange of mutual intelligence and good offices. Not long since, Lord STANLEY excited some attention, and several not very friendly comments., by a statement which he made at an agricultural meeting some. where in your neighbourhood. On that occasion, he said publicly, that man was a public wrong-doer who held lands which he was unable himself to cultivate, but had the power to sell. " Either cultivate the land yourself, or let others, cultivate it for yon," were the emphatic words- used .by Mo. lordship. Within little more than a month he has had a striking practical illustration of the accuracy of his proposi,- tion. While the land was held •by those who• could not cul- tivate it, riot, idleness and misery, with their baneful- concomi- tants, class jealousies and hatreds, prevailed in. Tipperary ;: now, the laud has, in a great measure, passed into thehands of those who are able and willing to cultivate it,. and the ties of mutual interest have already secured a good understand- ing between landlord and tenant. A society having quite as. much for its object the friendly union of all classes-as for the common benefit has- sprung up and been established-in the very camp and stronghold of lawlessness and distrust. Seldom, indeed, has it fallen to, the lot of so young- an aspirant to the honours- and. the cares of statesmanship to witness so full a realization of a, theory looked coldly on. by compeers, as has thus been accorded to. Lord Sr4l..Tlj#, Another, and a much less- pleasing. subject .of remark, - in Connexion -with the aristocracy, has. just occurred and 'given rise to much animadversion among the gossip and slander; mongers of the metropolis.- This-is-the-singular correspondence• which has just been made public,. occurring between the politically eccentric and new-fledged Duke of SOMERSET and. Mr. ALFRED HAMILTON, relative to- the representation of Totnes-which his Grace has just given.up,- in consequence of his elevation to the peerage.- The intercourse between these- partiesl so far as the public knows,. commenced in a very.. ordinary • manner—its prosecution and. probable termination deserve to be very differently characterised.- Mr. HAMILTON, having,-or imagining he had some reasen.for consulting with. his Grace on. matters connected with'the Borough of Totnes- waited-upon that nobleman;sent in his-cardrand was admittedt to the -august presence: Nothing very. unusual in that. Thee sequel, however, as narrated by the commoner, and uncontra-- dictedby-the peer, offers-some singular, points, for observation.. No sooner was Mr. HAMILTON, ushered into the presence of the Duke, .than the latter, without the slightest recognition of the courtesy with which he-was approached, or waiting to- have-the object of the interview explained,: rudely, and, as Mr... HAMILTON, says, . insolently- orderek him to leave the -room- This order he repeated,. and accompanying it he threw the- room door open, and: again ordered; Mr. HAMILTON to retire... Puzzled with a reception so unusual, Mt. HANILToN wrote to, to his Grace, demanding.. an explanation.; but no answer was-. vouchsafed.- In this-dilemma he applied to his friend, Major- GEBEN, who, having-written to the noble Duke, received an, answer to the effect that Mr. HAaraLTaN was admitted to ,hit- Grace's presence by- mistake-7that. the Duke had never .• seen nor heard, of him beforec. and : referring. the Major:- to his Grace's solicitors for any. attention which War - likaraLToN's- business. might require.- The time -was when the courtesy of a peer was considered one of his' proudest badges of distinction. The twelfth Duke of SOMERSET. repudiates so weak. a claim-, to notice., Forgetting the dignity of a gentleman, violating the hospitality of his own: roof, he rudely deports himself to a stranger, and opening, his own door insolently insists upon that stranger-withdrawing, . on the poor plea that the visitor had been "admitted by.-mis- take," and that "the Duke-had never seen nor heard of him before." As already said,. the gossip-mongers of the - clubs are busy with commentaries upon the :affair, and most of those even, friendly to the Duke consider that if the.

THE BOROUGH REGISTRATION.—The revising barrister has been proceeding during the week with the several lists of claims and objections, and the business has not yet been brought to a. conclusion..

"A WEALTHT POOL, WITIT GOLD IN • - - STORE."—Yesterday, a woman named Mary Mac Mahon was placed at the bar of the Police-court, charged with having robbed Mr. SamuelMeehan, a beerhouse-keeper in Williamson-street, of the sum.of £39 in gold. From the evidence of the prosecutor, it appeared that at a late hour on Friday .night he met with the pri- soner, who is a woman of. loose character, in Williamson- square, and invited her to .his house, to which she accom- panied him. Here they had some drink in.the.kitchen, after which Mr. Meehan and. Miss Mac.

VISIT OF THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE. ON Wednesday last, a special meeting of the Town Council was held for the double purpose of making arrangements to do fitting honour to the visit of His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, and also for giving full effect to the public feeling of Liverpool, in relation to the great victories achieved by the allied armies in the Crimea, and more especially to ce- lebrate the crowning triumph of the Black Sea expedition by the capture of Sebastopol. His worship the Mayor presided, and the meeting was numerously attended. The Mayor ex- plained the object which had induced him to call the meeting to be twofold ; the one to consider the propriety of preparing and presenting an address to His Royal Highness on the oc- casion of his visit to the town of Liverpool in consequence. of an invitation forwarded to him from the Mayor ; the other, to consult as to the best mode of giving expression to the public feeling indicated through the press and by various other means, in reference to the successes which have been vouchsafed to our arms in the Crimea. Merchants of high standing, the most influential traders in the town, and the working-classes, he said, had concurred in an expressed desire for a day of re- joicing being set apart. A feeling of complete unanimity ani- mated the members of Council present, and resolutions were adopted without a dissentient voice, expressive of the propriety of the suggestions thrown out by the Mayor, and committees were appointed to assist in carrying the suggestions into effect. The various committees have since met and deliberated on the matters submitted to their consideration and arrange- ment. In arriving at conclusions on the subjects under dis- cussion, the different committees have been chiefly actuated by a desire to carry out such undertakings as will be mainly conducive to a general demonstration of loyalty and joy, and to a widely diffused participation in the rejoicings. To ensure this it has been determined to provide public amusements, including a large bonfire at the south and one at the north end of the town, together with a magnificent display of fire- works at each of the places ; and it is intended, if practicable, ' to make arrangements for throwing open the Zoological Gar- ' dens, and also to provide other popular entertainments for the enjoyment of the working-classes. The Council, at its meeting on Wednesday, adopted a reso- lution for illuminating the front of the Town-hall,, and also for illuminating and decorating St. George's-hall, the Custom House, the Public Baths, and other edifices belonging to the corporation. On Thursday, a few gentlemen met to consider the best mode of illuminating the Exchange-buildings and Sailors' Home; and within a very short time a sum of upwards of £3OO was collected, which has since been considerably increased. The Exchange-buildings will be splendidly deco- rated with flags. From the lower tiers of windows, along the three sides of. the building, will be displayed national ensigns, while many smaller flags will adorn the upper tiers. On the columns of Messrs. Littledale's windows, at the south side of. the Exchange area, will be grouped the flags of the allied nations, and gay streamers will wave from the- balustrade. Around Nelson's monument flags will be suspended, and it is probable that the lamps will be festooned. In open spaces in the town, such as Waterloo-place, the public lamp-posts- are to be decorated with the flags of the allied nations, grouped. The public generally are solicited to co-operate with. the authorities in extending the decorations and illuminations by the voluntary adoption of such means as is within their power for the construction of trophies, and the combined dis- play of flags and banners, and also for the construction of illuminated designs.- These displays are intended as a demonstration in honour of the fall of Sebastopol; and the other Crimean victories, and will take place on- Tuesday next; on which day, also, the Duke of Cambridge will viait,Liverpool and inspect the-public edifices, after which he- will honour the Mayor with his com- pany at a banquet, and alsoat a ball-given by his worship in the Town-hall. Wednesday, as has been already explained, will be devoted to an acquatic excursion on the river, in the course of which His Royal Highness will have an opportunity of inspecting the appearance-of the docker and the general organization for their management, and- that of the river navigation. In the afternoon he will be-the guest, at 'dinner, of our respected parliamentary representative, T. B. Horsfall, Escb and in the evening a grand. miscellaneous concert is to be given in St. George's-hall, at which; it is-understood, the Bilk°. of Cambridge will be present. Ins the- meantime preparations-for the auspicious events are being rapidly pushed forward. Workmen commenced on Friday to• put up the gas-tubes and- necessary scaffolding to construct the illuminative decorations of the- Town-hall. These will consist of a series of gas4jets,• arranged in lines, corresponding with the leading architectural lines of the edifice, and. so massed as to convey a representation of its general, architecture, the tympanum of the portico being filled with'a- brilliant star. The effect- of this will, be beau- tiful, and the curious speculator may- exercise his- mind in imaginary comparison of the result which would have been produced had, the same design been carHed• out in the- daz- zling hues of variegated lamps. St. George's-hail will, be decorated with- stars, and the words " Victoria" and, "'Napo- leon" executed-inmasseS of gas-jets. The 'Custom-house will display the letters " IC' and " N.," and the dome is intended to he surmounted-by a magnificent " Crown" all executed in gas-jets. The-Sailors' Home will also be decorated with various illdminated devices: The Pier-head Baths- are to be- hand- somely illuminated with devices in gas. The Cornwallis-street Baths will be adorned by the exhibition,?f atrophy, composed. of flags, banners, and. otter warlike insignia: The Markets are to be handsomely illuminated by transrarencies an& de- signs -in gas ;jets

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Bosquet General Mellinet's division of the Guards, to support the first three divisions. Thus far for the right. In the centre the English were to attack the Great Redan, escalading it at its salient. On the left the Ist Corps, to which General della Marmora added a Sardinian brigade, having at its head Levaillant's division, was to penetrate by the General Bastion into the interior of the town, and then turn the Flagstaff Bastion to were only a lodgment there. General de Salles' instructions only to follow up his attack if circumstances allowed him. Moreover the fleets of Admirals Lyons and Bruat were to make a powerful diversion by attacking the Quarantine, the roadstead, and sea fronts of the fortress. But the state of the sea, owing to a strong wind from the N.E., was such that neither the line-of-battle ships nor frigates could leave their anchorage. The English and French mortar-boats were, however, enabled to open fire. They fired in a remarkable manner, and did us good service. Precisely at noon M`Mahon's, La Motterouge's, and Dulac's divisions, electrified by their leaders, threw themselves against the Malakhoff, the Curtain, and the Little Redan of Careening Bay. After surmounting unheard-of obstacles, and after a terrible hand-to-hand struggle, M`Mahon's division suc- ceeded in making good a footing in the front part of the Ma- lakhoff. The enemy kept up a hail of projectiles of every description upon our brave troops. The Redan of Careening Bay, exposed to a cross fire and to the fire of the steamers, was obliged to be evacuated after having been occupied, but La Motterouge's division held its ground on a portion of the Curtain, and M`Mahon's division gained ground in the Malak- hoff, where General Bosquet poured in reserves, which I hastened up. The other attacks were subordinate to that of the Malak- hoff, the key of the defences of the whole place. From the Brancion Redoubt, where I had placed myself, I saw that the Malakhoff was in our hands, and I gave the signal agreed upon with General Simpson. The English at once advanced bravely against the salient of the Great Redan ; they succeeded in lodging themselves there, and struggled for a long time to keep it; but overwhelmed by the Russian reserves, which never ceased advancing, and by a violent fire of artillery, they were forced to fall back into their parallels. - At the same signal General de Salles attacked the Central Bastion. Levaillant's division had commenced establishing itself there, as also on the right lunette, when, after a sweep- ing fire of grape, such strong Russian reinforcements came up that our troops, decimated by the fire, and their officers hors de combat, were compelled to return to the places d' armes they had started from. Convinced that the capture of the Malakhoff must decide the success, I prevented a renewal of the other attacks, which, by occupying the enemy on all the points of his vast en- ceinte, had already fulfilled their chief object, and I concen- trated all my attention on the possession of the Malakhoff, now completely in the power of General M`Mahon. A critical moment was, however, at hand. General Bosquet had just been struck by a large fragment of a shell, and I was obliged to give his command to General Dulac. A powder magazine in the curtain near the Malak- hoff blew up, and made me fear the most serious consequences. The Russians, hoping to profit by this accident, advanced in dense masses, and in three columns attacked the centre, left, and right- of the Malakhoff. But arrangements had already been made within the work. General M`Mahon had daring troops, who feared nothing, to oppose them, and after some desperate attempts the Russians were compelled to beat a retreat. From that moment they relinquished any offensive attack. The Malakhoff was ours, and could not be taken from us. It was half-past four. Measures were immediately taken to put us in a condition to repulse the enemy should he attempt to attack us in the night. But our uncertainty was soon put an end to. At nightfal flames burst out on all sides, mines exploded, powder magazines blew up. The spec- tacle of Sebastopol in flames, witnessed by the whole army, was one of the most imposing and terrible sights ever pre- sented in the history of wars. The enemy was evacuating the place. The retreat was effected during the night by means of the bridge established between the two sides of the roadstead, and under cover of the successive explosions, which prevented me from approaching to harass it. On the morning of the 9th, the whole south side of the town was abandoned, and in our hands. I need not point out to your Excellency the importance of such a success ; nor need I speak of that brave army whose warlike virtues and devotion are so well appreciated by our Emperor ; and I shall have, though the number is great, to point out to you those who distinguished themselves among so many valorous soldiers. I cannot do so yet, but I shall fulfil that duty in an early despatch. Accept, M. le .Marechal, the expression of my respectful devotion. PELISSIER, Commander-in-Chief. GENERAL NIEL'S REPORT. The following is the despatch sent by General Niel, in com- mand of the Engineers : SEBASTOPOL, Sept. 11. Monsieur le Marechal,—The assault was made on the for- tifications of Sebastopol on the Bth, and placed us in posses- sion of the Malakhoff, the occupation of which renders the defence of the faubourg almost impossible, and allows us to cut off the communications of the town with the north of the harbour. The enemy have shown that they knew that con- quest to be decisive. After having made several attacks on us with a courage which we are bound to pay homage to, finding that these last efforts remained without result, they com- menced in the course of the evening evacuating the town. During the night they set fire to it, and employed gunpowder to destroy the works of defence and the great establishments which Russia has been so many years accumulating in this fortress. They sank all their ships of the line, frigates, and other sailing vessels, and only preserved their steamers ; finally, they carried off the bridge of boats by which they communicated with the northern side, thus abandoning to us the town, the faubourg, and all that lies on the southern side of the harbour. The defence was energetic ; on several points our attacks were repulsed, but the principal—that which insured to us eventual success—never remained a moment doubtful. The Ist Division of the Ist Corps, at present commanded by General McMahon, carried the Malakhoff at the very first rush, and maintained themselves there, comprehending clearly that it held in its possession the keys of the place. I now proceed to give you an account of the arrangements which had been adopted to diminish as much as possible the numerous difficulties which this terrible assault presented, made, as it was, not on a place regularly invested and with a limited garrison, but on a vast fortress defended by an army probably as numerous as that which attacked it. Near the fortifications of the town our trenches had arrived within 40 metres of the Central Bastion (tio. 5 of the Russians), and within 30 of the Flagstaff Bastion (No. 4). Near the faubourg of Karabelnaia the English, arrested by the difficulties of the ground and by the fire of the enemy's artillery, could not approach closer than within 200 metres of the Great Redan (No. 3), on which their approaches were directed. In front of the Malakhoff we had arrived within 25 metres of the fortification which surrounds the town, and our ap- proaches had placed us at about the same distance from the small Redan of Careening Bay (No. 2). That great result was due incontestably to the superiority which our artillery had assumed over that of the enemy. The Generals-in-Chief of the allied armies had decided on the following arrangements : The general attack on the place was fixed on for the Bth of September, at noon. On the sth, early in the morning, the artillery of the attacks on the town and that of the English attacks, who had hitherto been sparing of their fire, were to resume it with the greatest activity. Never was such a can- nonade heard, for we had in battery, along the two attacks, upwards of 500 pieces of cannon, the English 200 more, and the Russians more than we. The enemy's fire damaged our trenches, but did us but little harm. Ours, notwithstanding the great extent of the place, converged on it, and must have caused great loss to the Russian army. During the few days immediately preceding the assault the workmen of the infantry were principally em- ployed in enlarging the several places d'armes most in ad- vance, in widening the passages, and in transporting to the required spots the means of crossing the ditches. The great object of all our efforts was to obtain possession of the work constructed behind the Malakhoff Tower. This work (the Kornileff Redoubt of the Russians), which is an immense redoubt (a sort of citadel in eFth), occupies a height which commands the whole interior of the Karabelnaia faubourg. It takes in the flank of the Redan, attacked by the English, and is only 1,200 metres from the southern port, on which the Russians had constructed a bridge of boats, become their only communication between the faubourg and the town. The fort of the Malakhoff is 350 metres in length and 150 metres in width. Its parapets are eighteen feet above the ground, and in front of them is a ditch which before our attacks was six metres in depth and seven in width. It was armed with sixty-two guns of various calibres. In the front part, enclosed by the parapet, in the Malakhoff Tower, of which the Russians have only preserved the rez de chaussee, which is crenellated. In the interior of the work the Rus- sians had raised a vast number of traverses under which were excellent blindages where the garrison found shelter, and had beds arranged on each side in two rows one above the other. A Russian officer of engineers, who was made prisoner, states that the garrison of this part of the Malak- hoff, which I have just described in order that you may judge of the difficulties which our soldiers had to surmount, con- sisted of not less than 2,500 men. The Malakhoff front, which is a thousand metres in length, is bounded on our left by Fort Malakhoff, and on our right by the Little Redan. This last work, which, at the commence- ment of the siege, was only a simple redan, was transformed little by little into a redoubt, closed at the gorge and heavily armed. The exterior fronts of the two redoubts of Malakhoff and the Careenage were connected by a curtain armed with 16 cannons ; and behind the enceinte the Russians had raised a second, which connected the fronts of the gorges of the two redoubts. The second enceinte armed in part, had not, however, a ditch presenting a serious obstacle. The rocky nature of the soil had hindered the enemy from excavating everywhere equally the ditch of the first curtain and of the Little Redan, and on several points the troops were able to pass it without very much difficulty. For pass- ing the ditches, which had a considerable depth, we had con- trived a system of bridges which could be thrown in less than a minute by an ingenious manoeuvre, to which our sappers and soldiers d'elite had been trained. The French artillery was so superior to that of the Russians that it had extinguished the fire of nearly all the guns pointed directly at our attacks. The filled-up embrasures relieved us from the fear that our columns might be assailed by grape as they issued from the trenches. The parapets were destroyed and a part of the earth had rolled into the ditch. Finally the Malakhoff fort had been assailed by so large a number of shells, thrown from our batteries and those of the English, that the guns which did not look directly upon our attacks had their embrasures also filled up, and everywhere the terrassements had lost their original form. But, behind the defences situ- ate in the first line the Russians had preserved a large number of pieces, which we could not contre-baltre com- pletely, and the columns which proceeded to attack the Malakhoff were exposed to the fire of numerous batteries which the Russians had raised to the north of the roadstead, and which, though fired from a great distance, were neverthe- less dangerous. You are aware that ever since my arrival before Sebastopol I was decidedly of•opinion that thetrue point of attackwas the tower or Mamelon of Malakhoff, and that this opinion having been adopted by General Carobert, those attacks of the right were undertaken, whieh were executed by the second corps. From the side of the town we had been content to extend towards the left the approadhes executed by the first corps. Taking things at the point where they stood when the assault was resolved on, there was no doubt-that the possession of the Malakhoff fort would lead to a decisive result; and on the other hand it was to be presumed that if & failure took plane on this •point, success obtained elsewhere ,4ould not lead to great results. However,4t,svas not proper -to attack a place so attended upon one singlelpoint. It,was :netessary to ob. taus that division of the enemy's forces which resulted from the great development of the enciente that he had to defend, and especially to make him uneasy about the town, to which the bridge led whereby he might make his retreat. It was to satisfy these various considerations, it was to ensure success, while economising as much as possible the blood of our soildiers in the terrible struggle then preparing, that the General-in-Chief decided that the assault should first be made on the front of the Malakhoff ; that if this attack, which would be made under his personal inspection, should succeed, then at his signal the English should attack the Redan and the first portion of the town, so as to prevent the enemy's concentrating all his efforts, against the troops that should have already taken possession of the Malakhoff Fort. The front of the Malakhoff was to be attacked by three columns ; the one on the left, commanded by General de M`Mahon, moving in a straight line on the Malakhoff Fort by the front that faced us, and in turning it slightly on the right hand, had for its task the taking and keeping of it, cost what it might ; the right column, Dulac's division, was to march against the Redan of the Careening Bay, to occupy it, and de- tach a brigade on its left, in order to turn the second enclo- sure; lastly, the central column, being the division of La Motterouge, issuing from the sixth parallel, having a longer extent of ground to pass over, and arriving a little later, was to carry the curtain, to proceed then again to the second en- closure, and send one of its brigades to the assistance of the first column, if this latter should have not gained possession of the Malakhoff Fort. Such was the importance of these positions that we could not doubt that the enemy, if he lost them, would make great efforts to retake them. In consequence, the troops of the Imperial Guard were given as a reserve to the 2nd Corps. The chief of the Engineer Battalion, Ragon, having under his orders several brigades of sappers, marching with the first column had to throw brigades across the ditches, see after the mines, open everywhere a passage to the columns, and as soon as these should be masters of the fort, to close it at the gorge; and in order to oppose any rallying attack in return, to open in the rear large passages for the arrival of the troops and the artillery. The chief of the Engineer Battalion, Renoux, attached to the right column, and Captain Schoennagal, attached to the central column, having also brigades of sappers under their orders, had to fulfil an analagous mission. All the arrangements concerning the duty of the engineers in the attacks to be made on the Malakhoff bad been made by the General of Brigade Frossard, commanding the engineers of the 2nd Corps. In attacking the town, in order to avoid the obstacles accu- mulated by the enemy at the salient of the Flagstaff Bastion, it had been decided that the principal assault should be given at the Central Bastion, between its salient and the lunette of the left ; that the assaulting column, as soon as it should be established within the Central Bastion, should detach a part of its forces towards the gorge of the Flagstaff Battery, whose right face should then be assailed by a Sardinian Brigade, which had come to take part in the operations of the First Corps. General Delesme, commanding the Engineers of the First Corps, had made arrangements for attacking the town similar to those which I have just explained with reference to the attacks of the Karabelnaia faubourg. On the Bth of September, at eight o'clock in the morning, we threw on the Central Bastion two mines of projection, each charged with 100 kilogrammes of powder. The explo- sion took place near the middle of the bastion, and appeared to cause great disorder. At the same hour we exploded, in front of our approaches to the Malakhoff Fort, three mining chambers, charged in all with 1500 kilogrammes of powder, in order to destroy the lower galleries of the Russian miners, and to give security to our soldiers, who had to crowd within the trenches under which deserters announced that the soil was mined. At noon precisely our soldiers rushed from the advanced places d'armes in front of the Malakhoff. They crossed the ditches with surprising agility, and, jumping on the parapets, attacked the enemy to the cry of " Vive l'Empereur !" At the Malakhoff fort, the interior slope having a great height, those who arrived first halted an instant to form. They then mounted on the parapet and jumped into the work. The combat, which had commenced with discharges of fire- arms, was carried on with the bayonet, with stones, and with butt-ends of muskets. The rammers became weapons in the hands of the Russian gunners, but everywhere the Russians were killed, taken prisoners, or made to fly, and in less than a quarter of an hour after the attack had taken place the French flag waved on the conquered redoubt. The Careenage Redan had also been carried after a very hot struggle. The centre column had advanced as far as the second enceinte. Everywhere we had taken possession of the works attacked. The general-in-chief gave the concerted sig- nal for the attack of the Great Redan, and soon after the attack of the town. The English had 200 metres of ground to go over under a terrible fire of grape. This space was pre- sently covered with dead, but these losses could not stop the march of the attacking column, which advanced to the capital of the work. It descended into the ditch, which was about five metres in depth, and, notwithstandinc, all the efforts of the Russians, it escaladed the scarp and tookb from them the salient of the Redan, but after the first struggle, which cost the Russians dear, the English soldiers found before them a vast open space crossed in all directions by the balls of the enemy, who themselves were sheltered behind distant tra- verses. Those who came up were scarcely sufficient to replace those who were placed hors de combat. It was not until they had sustained, during nearly two hours, this unequal combat, that the English resolved to evacuate the Redan. The attack upon the Central Bastion presented the same result. In front of the Malakhoff the Russians made great efforts to reconquer the works. Repeated attacks were made, but in vain. The dead bodies of the enemy were piled up in front of the gorge, but the First Division remained im- moveable, and in the evening we were masters of this citadel, without which the Russians could not continue their defence for more than a few days. Thus terminated this memorable siege, in which the means of defence and of attack attained colossal dimensions. The Russians had 800 cannon in battery, the besieging army about 700. In finishing this report, I ought to tell you, Monsieur le Marechal, that the greatest harmony has never ceased to pre- vail between the artillery and the engineers. 'Whenever one of these two services could come to the assistance of the other, he did it with eagerness, and this community of views and action has given us the means of overcoming many difficulties. I have also had to congratulate myself in every instance on my relations with General Harry Jones, commanding the en- gineers of the English army. Oar object was the same, and we have never differed in opinion on the means to be employed for attaining it. Already, at the siege of Bomarsund, I had the opportunity of appreciating the loyalty and the noble cha- racter of this general officer. I have been happy at finding myself again in relations with him at the siege of Sebastopol. Accept, Monsieur leMarechal, the homage of my mostrespect- ful devotion. The General of Division, A.D.C. of the Emperor, Com- manding the Engineers of the Army in the East, NIEL, SECOND REPORT OP MARSHAL PELISSIER. HEAD-QUARTERS, SEDASTOPOL, Sept. 14. Monsieur le Marechal,—l have the honour to address to your Excellency, as announced in my despatch of the 11th, my report on the capture of Sebastopol. The moment for the assault seemed to have arrived. On the left the works of the Engineers had for some time been within 30 to 40 metres of the Flagstaff battery (No. 4 of the Russians), and the central bastion (No. 5 of the Russians). To the right, our roadway, actively pushed under the protec- tion of a sustained fire from the artillery, opened upon the 17th, was not more than 25 yards from the salient of the Malakhoff and the Little Redan of the Careening Bay. Our artillerists had nearly finished 100 batteries in a complete state, and provided with every necessary, and presented a body of 250 guns to the attacks of the left, and 250 to those of the right. On their side the English, although greatly arrested in their course by the difficulties of the ground, had arrived within 200 yards of the Great Redan (Bastion No. 3 of the Russians), upon which they directed the fire. of 200 guns entrenchment, finish. alniaiiisicsceehdi oietnnlwitibahafisetnitstneei ,drpiteoehor. impof rtant ee army that aituathsi aast Russians, henct came susingheaouedet tohhnne ediort succour ce or allowedoprofitably, ttoe e enemy was completely beaten on the 16th, at Tchernaya. They had suffered considerable losses, and it was not probable that they would come again to renew an attack on points which we had rendered stronger, and where we were enabled to repulse all the efforts of the enemy. It was then agreed between General Simpson and myself, that we should make the decisive attack. The generals com- manding the artillery and engineers of the two armies were unanimously of the same opinion. The Bth September was fixed for that attack. As I have already had the honour of explaining to your Excellency, the enemy was to be attacked on the principal points of his vast enceinte to prevent him drecting all his reserves against one single attack, and to alarm him respect- ing the town where the bridge is thrown by which he could retreat. General de Salles, with the Ist corps, reinforced by a Sardinian brigade offered to me by General della Mar- morn, was to attack the town on the left ; in the centre the English were to storm the Great Redan ; finally, on our right, General Bosquet was to attack the Malakhoff and the Little Redan of Careening-bay (Bastion No. 2of the Russians), the salient points of the Karabelnaia enceinte. The following arrangements were made on each of these attacks :—On the left, Levaillant's division, 2nd Regiment of the Ist Corps; Brigade Couston ; 9th battalion of Chasseurs-a-pied, Com- mander Rogie ; 21st of the Line, Lieutenant-Colonel Villeret ; 42nd of the Line, Lieutenant-Colonel de Mallet ; Trochu's Brigade; 46th of the Line, Lieutenant-Colonel Le Banneur ; 80th of the Line, Colonel Latterrode, charged with the attack on the Central Bastion and its lunettes, was placed on the most, advanced parallels. On its right was d'Antemarre's di- vision (Brigade Niol ;) sth battalion of Chasseurs-a-pied, Commander Gamier; 19th of the Line, Colonel Guignard ; 26th of the Line, Colonel de Sorbiers ; Brigade Breton ; 39th of the Line, Colonel Comignan ; 74th of the Line, Colonel Guyot de Lespart, who was to follow in the steps of Le Vail- laint's division, and to take the gorge of the Flagstaff Battery and the batteries erected there. The Sardinian brigade of General Cialdini, placed by the side of d'Autemarre's division, was to attack the right flank of the same bastion. Finally, Bouat's Division, 4th of the Ist corps, General Lefevre ; 10th Chasseurs-a-pied, Commander Guiomard ; 18th of the Line, Colonel Dontin ; 79th of the Line, Colonel Grenier ; 2nd Bri- gade, General de la Roquette; 14th of the Line, Colonel de Negrier ; 43rd of the Line, Colonel Broutta ; and Pate's Di- vision, 3rd of the Ist corps, Brigadier Beuret ; 6th Battalion of Chasseurs-a-pied, Commander Fervier de la Prevotais 28th of the Line, Colonel Lartigues ; 98th of the Line, Col. Conseil Dumesnil ; Bazaine's Brigade ; Ist Regiment of the Foreign Legion, Lieutenant-Colonel Martenot de Cordoue ; 2nd Regiment of the Foreign Legion, Colonel de' Chabrieres, served as a reserve to Le Vaillant's Division ; moreover, and to be prepared for eventualities on that side, 1 had ordered up from Kamiesch, and placed under the orders of General de Salles, the 30th and 35th Regiments of the Line, which had been placed on the extreme left, and made sure the possession of our lines on that side. On the Karabelnaia, as I have already stated, our attack was to take place on three points; on the left, on the Malakhoff and its redoubt ; on the right, on the Little Redan of Careen- ing Bay ; and in the centre, on the curtain which unites those two works. The Malakhoff works were decidedly the most important point of the enceinte ; their capture would natu- orders all the infantry of the Imperial Guard. ehaadd taod tdhe ed .tsou ctchees stirvo troops pf as all lroefa dt fah eu ndde efernGc General ns e or a lf tßh oes cipul aecte, 8, I araindl The left attack on the Malakhoff was entrusted to General M`Mahon ,(First Division, 2nd Corps) ; Ist brigade Colonel Decaen ; Ist Zouaves, Colonel Colineau; and 7th of the Line 20tAdham of, thewh Line,ad Colonel Deeaen ; 2nd brigade, General Vmoy ; Ist battalion o CthornofmtahnedLerinGea, Colonelmbier; in reserve the Wimpfeu brigade; 3rd Zouaves, Col.

BROMLEY'S PATENT EMPIRE SOAP, which heretofore has been difficult to be obtained, as very few of the grocers will keep it. To use their own words, by way of explanation, they state,—" Were we to buy it, it would reduce our sales fully one third, as two pounds of the Empire Soap will go as far as three pounds of any other soap ; we should also lose our profit on soda and washing powders, as neither of these articles are required when the Empire Soap is used, in either the hardest water or in sea water." What the grocers are displeased at in this soap is its strongest recommendation to the notice of the large consumers, private families, hotel keepers, laundresses, kc. It only requires to be used with a light hand. And besides the above advantage it saves half the usual labour, consequently less friction and wear in the clothes, and will not injure the colours in the most delicate prints ; and is equally valuable for every other domestic purpose, even for toilet use, as it isa pure soap, free from rosin and other useless ingredients, which not only add unnecessary weight to the soap but detract from its cleansing properties. To be had whoh sale at the Works, No. 22, Cherry-lane, and from the following dealers :—Mr. Edward Davies, chandler, No. 84, London-road ; Mr. John Dixon, grocer, No. 48, Pembroke- place ; Mr. William Davies, grocer, 58, Mill-street ; Mr. David Drew, ship-store merchant, 40, Waterloo-road ; Messrs.

GENERAL INTELLIGENCE. THE Presse intimates that it is intended to prolong the Boulevard de l'Hotel de Ville to the Louvre, under the name of the Boulevard Victoria. A LARGE COUNTERFEIT GOLD•DUST .MANUFACTORY. has been discovered in San Francisco, the proprietors being Yousof Bey, a Turk, and William Dususeau, a Frenchman. MADAME ERARD, widow of the pianoforte-maker, has pre- sented the grand piano in the style of Louis XIV., exhibited by her late husband in the nave of the Exposition, to Prince Napoleon, " to contribute to the solace of the army in the East." VISCOUNT MANDEVILLE having become a peer of the realm, the speaker of the House of Commons has given notice in the Gazette that he will, at the end of 14 days, issue a writ for the election of a new member for the county of Huntingdon. THE magistrates of South Shields have fined several plate- layers ss. each and costs, for working on the Pontop and Shields Railway on Sunday. A stonemason, named Heppell, has been also fined ss. and costs for the same offence. AUSTRALIAN GOLD-DlGGERS.—Seventeen gold-diggers from Melbourne, Australia, were landed from the ship Northumberland at Torquay, a few days ago, having with them, it is stated, upwards of 400 ounces of gold. BARON ALEXANDER VON HUMBOLDT has just celebrated the eighty-sixth anniversary of his birthday. Notwithstand- ing his great age, he still unremittingly continues his impor- tant labours. AN AGRICULTURAL LABOURER, formerly of Trumpington, near Cambridge, has written to his friends to say that he is now earning, in Australia, £3 per week, and in Trumpington his wages were only Bs. AT AN IDIOT ASYLUM in the north of England, seven out of ten of the patients are the children of parents related to each other by the laws of consanguinity. THE ARMENIAN ARCHBISHOP OP LEMBERG, Samuel Stepanowitsch, the Nestor of Christian priests, has just com- pleted his 105th year. THE EMPEROR ALEXANDER has conferred a sacred image, enriched with diamonds, on the Metropolitan Agathangelos, who, by his prayers and benedictions, animated the troops to devote themselves in the defence of their country at Sebastopol. A GENTLEMAN named Inches, who had gone on an excur- sion to the top of the hill of Dunguaich, Scotland, lost his way and perished. His body was discovered a few days ago by a shepherd. AN EXTRAORDINARY EMBASSY from Birmah is said to be on the point of setting out for France, being the first that the Emperor of the Birmans ever sent to any power in the world. General d'Orgoni is to be at its head. Amos BARRETT, a commercial agent, committed suicide on the 6th August, at San Francisco, stating in a letter found after his decease that he was impelled to the act by the ap- pearance of a paragraph in an interior paper, reflecting on his character. THE GAZETTE publishes a Board of Trade notice, stating that a decree, recently published in Portugal, imposes a fine of 400 milrees upon any master of a British ship who may receive passengers without passports, or who shall omit to present the list of passengers. M. LE MeouT, a chemist, who has acquired some notoriety for his observations of the barometer, as affected by a distant cannonade, states that he announced the cannonade and the assault of Sebastopol from the changes effected in the mer- cury. He adds that it takes an hour and forty minutes to receive the impression of the guns of Sebastopol on barometers in France. IF ARCHITECTURE improved in proportion to the number of new churches built, we should soon see the revival of a lost science. From 1841 to 1851, there were 1,197 churches built in Great Britain. In London alone there are 1,114 archi- tects ! THE CHARITY COMMISSIONERS propose to remove the pictures in Dulwich Gallery to the National Gallery—a cen- tralisation of art, but an injury to Dulwich. A new church is to be built with the spare funds, and two open schools are to be erected.—Athenceunz. "IT IS RUMOURED," says the Siecle. " that a company is to be constituted with a capital of ten millions of francs for the purpose of purchasing corn in foreign countries, and selling it in France without profit, reserving to itself merely 5 per cent. on the capital invested." HENRY BOOM AND EDWIN WILD have been sent to prison for a month by the Sheffield magistrates for attempt- ing to defraud the Midland Railway Company- by getting into a train at Chesterfield without tickets, and when within a little of the Sheffield station getting out, and purchasing tickets for the remaining short distance. Tim KEEPER OF A Grx-saor in Fox-and-Knot-court, Snow-hill, London, has baffled the city magistrates by selling gin within the prohibited hburs on Sunday just outside his house. The magistrates could do nothing on a summons under the recent Beer Act, as the house was not open, but suggested that it might be an offence against the Excise. FOUR ANGORA. GOATS have just arrived at the Jardin des Plantes, in Paris, and are remarkable for their silky white hair, which descends nearly to the ground in ringlets. A young lion has also been received there, sent by General Daumas ; and Abd-el-Kader has presented the institution with some " Karamanlis," or sheep from Asia Minor, parti- cularly remarkable for their enormous tails, which, when boiled, yield about fifteen pounds of fat. MURDER AT CAIS-TOR.—On Tuesday, a charge of murder came before the sitting magistrates at Rollesby. Joseph Underwood, a bricklayer, was charged with having murdered Robert Green, a labourer, about 38years of age. The prisoner had been drinking in a public-house, and on leaving it attacked the deceased without any provocation, and struck him a violent blow at the back of the ear, which caused his death next day. .ABD-EL-KADER dined with the Emperor at St. Cloud on Saturday. The principal object of the Emir's journey to Paris was to solicit the Emperor to release him from the promise he had made to reside at Broussa, that place having become intolerable to him since the earthquake. His Majesty, it is said, has acceded to the request, and it is arranged that Abd-el-Kader shall go to live at Damascus with his family. A CRIMEAN CAL—The Gazette de Lyon of the 19th states that among the numerous wounded soldiers just arrived there, a soldier of the 24:1 Zouaves excited particular attention, who had with him a cat minus one leg. Itppears that he was performing a character at the French theatre before Sebas- topol when the drum beat to arms. Without having time to doff his theatrical costume, he was soon in the trenches, where he lost one arm from the splinter of a shell, and had his right ear carried away by a musket-ball ; his cat, which remained during the engagenaent on his shoulder, losing its paw at the same time. Even in the hospital he would never part from his cat, which has oome with him to France, where the Zouave figures in the same dress that he wore when the alarm was given. - - - THE Rock reports a meeting at Greenock, called by the Provost, for considering the effects of the Public-houses Act. The Mechanics'-hall was filled to overflowing. A resolution to the effect that it was the opinion of the meeting that the recent act for regulating public-houses in Scotland had failed, and required to' e modified, was first proposed. The " Rev. Mr. Nelson" then quoted the returns recently obtained by Mr. Dunlop, to prove that the consumption of spirits in Scot- land had decreased since the passing of the Forbes Mackenzie Act; and concluded by proposing an amendment to the effect that the meeting approved of the general principle of the act. The amendment was declared carried by a large majority, and the meeting closed with "three cheers for the clergy," and "three cheers for Forbes Mackenzie." FOFE-FOOTEID CRIMEAN HERO.—The Trieste Journal contains the following :—Great sensation was created in the camp of the allies by the courageous conduct of a large dog, belonging to Colonel Metmain, of the 73rd Regiment of French Infantry. On the 16th of August, during the battle of the Tchernaya, the animal broke his chain and dashed into the fury of the fray, fighting in the ranks of the soldiers. He saved the life of a sergeant and a private of the regiment, and made three Russian prisoners. A ball graved his fore-paw, but the smarting wound only served to make him more infu- riated. He singled out a Russian officer, and attacked him with ferocity, threw him down, and dragged him as a prisoner to the French lines. A surgeon dressed his wound, and the four-footed hero is going on well. He will probably be deco- rated with a medal as a reward for his bravery. THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH IN MEXICO.—A copy of El Heraldo of Mexico, received by the last mail, contains an article on the electric telegraph communication in that republic. It appears that there are already two lines of tele- graph in the republic, the advantages of which are known to all. The capital is already in contact with the first port of Mexico and various populous cities. "The communication with Vera Cruz is the more interesting," observes our Mexican contemporary, " inasmuch as the events of the war in Europe, which occupy the whole world, are fraught with as much importance to us as to any other country. The Heraltio goes on to a detail a plan conceived by Mr. William George Stewart, possessor of the Government "privilege," which is nothing leas than the putting in the telegraphic communication with each other of Tampico, San Luis, Potosi, Zacatecas, Aguas Calien- tes, Guadalajara, Tepic, San Bias, Mazatlan, and other cities, so that between the Mexican ports of the Gulf and the Pacific advices may be dispatched in the shortest possible time. It appears that Mr. Stewart's plan is supported by persons interested in the progress of the country, all of whom admit its immense advantages. Nor will the money be wanting. GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA RAILWAY.—The annual meet- ing of this company was held at Quebec on the sth ult., Mr. B. Holmes in the chair. Mr. Grant, the secretary, read the report, which stated that the railway between Montreal and Portland continued in excellent order. The Quebec and Rich- mond section was now fully ballasted, and in such good order that the express train had for the last tive months successfully accomplished the distance between Montreal and Quebec, 168 miles, in five hours. The sum of £2,922,625 sterling had been received on the A series of shares and debentures, leaving only £659,775 to be received on them. The expenditure under the head of capital, to the 30th of June last, amounted to £6,472,297, of which £4,722,152 was on account of the Mon- treal and Portland section, including additional rolling stock ; £2,117,923 for works between Montreal and Toronto ; £1,077,676 for works between Toronto and _Stratford; £882,992 for works between Quebec and Richmond ; £325,835 for works between Quebec and St. Thomas; and £259,175 for the Victoria-bridge. The section from Montreal to Brockville, 125 miles in length, will be ready for opening in the course of two months from the present time. An ample supply of en. gines and carriages will be ready in due time at the company's extensive works at Pointe St. Charles. The working expenses on the line are a fraction over £ll per mile, but it is expected that they will be reduced to £lO per mile through the Lower Province. The trains now running are capable of earning double the present receipts without materially increasing the expenditure. A report of the progress of the undertaking and the acconnts of the company will henceforth be issued half- yearly. The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, said, considering all things, he did not think it showed very bad results. The depression of trade and other matters fully accounted for the non.-realisation of the anticipations respecting the traffic. The receipts, however, showed a gradual increase. Those for the past week were the highest, having reached £6,394; and there was no doubt the receipts would go on in- • creasing. An abundant harvest was being gathered in, which, while it supplied traffic to the company, was diffusing a spirit of energy and enterprise throughout the provinces. It was intended that the large ship of 25,000 tons, now in course of construction, should make her trial trip to Portland, as a pre- liminary step to her being placed on that station, should the traffic be sufficient. The Hon. P. M'Gill seconded the motion, which was unanimously adopted. The retiring directors, the Hon. J. Ross, the Hon. F. Hincks, and Mr. B. Holmes, for the Canada board, and Mr. W. W. Blake, for the London board, were re-elected. Messrs. Allan, Dow, and Bouthillier were elected auditors. After other formal resolutions, the proceedings concluded with thanks to the chairman, YEARS ENDING SEPTEMBER 30. 1835. 1854. Increase. Decrease. .W .e .t" Customs 21,607,218 20,316,431 1,290,787 ..

intelligent aides-de-camp stumbled on the wrong regiments and ordered up the first brigade of the Light Division, which had been told of as the proper reserve. Evident, however, as was the blunder, the gallant " fighting 7th," led on by Major Turner, and the 23rd, under Colonel Lysons, advanced to the renewed attack. The other regiments who should have pre- ceded, followed in a state of beautiful pell-mell, and under a fire of grape and canister, before which the bravest columns of the Old Guard would have staggered, our young levies—for such were three-fourths of the troops engaged—were led on to regain the ground which had been lost through mismanage- ment before. It was not, however, in human nature to make headway under such an iron storm; the men turned, and fled back under cover of the parapet, leaving very many of their own number, and more in proportion of their officers, dead or dying on this field of death. V~From the failure of this second attempt, the attack became one of musketry fire over the parapet, aided by the guns of the Quarry and other batteries which bore upon the R,edan. Brigadier Straubenzee, commanding the Ist Brigade of the Light Division, tried to induce his chief to storm again, offer- ing to lead the assault with the still eager though shattered regiments of his own command ; but Sir William declined re- peating the attempt at the time. Thence on till dusk, we waged a futile war of musketry and artillery fire, which was vigorously replied to by the enemy, and night closed upon our men, discouraged and humbled. The Russian apothegm of "an army of lions led on by donkies," had once more been illustrated; and while our allies were jubilant with well-earned success, we were humbled by the consciousness of undeserved defeat. It was known, however, that with dawn another assault would be made, and continued at whatever cost till the re- doubt had been finally gained, and so everyone anxiously awaited daylight on Sunday morning, when our slaughtered hundreds were to be avenged, and the tarnish cast upon our military honour wiped away. About an hour after midnight, however, the enemy forestalled all by blowing up their magazine, and abandoning the redoubt. Such, it is presumed, was the fact, though it is not improbable that the explosion may have been caused by one of our own shells. Be this as it may, the result was the same; and on a party of our men being soon after sent out to reconnoitre, it was discovered that the Russians had given up the game. Our troops ac- cordingly marched in, and the first grey streaks of daylight saw the British ensign waving over a surrender which had already been a prize. ATTACK ON THE REDAN BY THE ENGLISH. In reference to this sanguinary, and less successful attack, the special correspondent of the Daily News, gives the follow- ing details : In the meantime, however, our own assault had begun But it must first be mentioned that, instead of having before them a work whose embrasures had been bunged-up and its guns silenced, like the Malakhoff, our men had to rush upon a line of battery nearly every piece in which was ready to re- ceive the grape and canister. The French, too, started from a line of trench only some forty yards from the point to be attacked, whilst our own troops were compelled to cross an open space of full six times the extent, and that, too, under a direct and flanking fire from nearly a score of guns. Long before darkness had set in on the previous evening the French had swept the chain of works on the proper left of the Malakhoff; and thus the whole line, from the Quaran- tine Fort to the mouth of the Tchernaya, was in the hands of the Allies, the Russian batteries opposed to the French left having been simultaneously evacuated. Dawn showed the last stragglers of the retiring enemy hurrying over the bridge of boats, which was promptly destroyed when they had crossed ; and as the entire shipping—one frigate and a couple of small steamers alone excepted—had been sunk during the night, the sun rose upon as desolate a scene as if Sebastopol had never been inhabited, nor its splendid harbour covered with ships of war. Even before the blow-up of the Redan several mines had been fired by the enemy along and within their line of works, and during the night they consummated the sacri- fice of their stronghold by blowing up Fort Paul, and firing nearly all the principal buildings which had not already been in flames. And thus ended the attack and capture of Sebas- topol. The correspondent of the Times gives an account of the affair somewhat similar in effect, and much more ample in detail, differing, however, but little in its condemnatory spirit, and where it does differ, being, in fact, more severely crimi- native than the other. He says : When the order was received on the 7th, the general re- mark was, " This looks like another 18th of June." In fact, the attacking columns were not strong enough, the supports were not strong enough, and were also too far behind, and the trenches did not afford room for a sufficient number of men. It will be observed that,-where we attacked the Redan with two divisions only, a portion of each being virtually in reserve, and not engaged in the affair at all, the French made their assault on the Malakhoff with four divisions of the second corps d'armee, the first and fourth divisions forming the storming columns, and the third and the fifth being the support, with reserves of 10,000 men. The French had probably not 1 less than 30,000 men in the right attack en the 7th of September. The divisional orders for the 2nd division were very much the same as those for the light division. The covering party consisted of 100 men of the 3rd Buffs, under Captain John Lewes, who highly dis- tinguished himself, and 100 men of the second battalion of the Rifle Brigade, under the command of Captain Hammond. The scaling-ladder party consisted of 160 of the 3rd Buffs, under Captain Maud, whose gallantry was very conspicuous throughout the aflair, in addition to the 160 of the 97th, under the gallant and lamented Welsford. The part of the force of the second division consisted of 260 of the 3rd Buffs, 300 of the 23rd (Welsh), 200 of the 62nd, and a working party of 100 of the 41st. The rest of Wyhnham's brigade, consist- ing of the 47th and 49th, were in reserve, together with War- ren's brigade of the same division, of which the-30th and 55th were called into action, and suffered severely. It was a few minutes after twelve when our men left the fifth parallel. The musketry commenced at once, and in less than five mi- nutes, during which the troops had to pass over about 30 yards from the nearest approach to the parapet of the Redan, they had lost a large proportion of their officers. The rifle- men advanced admirably, but from their position they could not do much to reduce the fire of the guns on the flanks and below the re-entering angles. As they came nearer, the ene- my's fire became less fatal. They crossed the abattis without difficulty: is was torn to pieces and destroyed by our shot, and the men stepped over and through it with ease. The light division made straight for the salient and projecting angle of the Redan, and came to the ditch, which is here about 15 feet deep. The party detailed for the purpose placed the ladders, but they were found to be too short. However, had there been enough of them, that would not have mattered much, but some had been left behind in the hands of dead or wound- ed men, and others had been broken, so that if one can credit the statements made by those who were present, there were not more than six or seven ladders at the salient. The men, led by their officers, leaped into the ditch and scrambled up the other side, whence they got up the parapet almost without opposition, for the few Russians who were in front ran back and got behind their traverses and breastworks as soon as they saw our men on the top, and opened fire upon them. At the base of the Redan, before the re-entering angles, is a breastwork, or rather, a parapet with an irregular curve, up to a man's neck, which runs in front of the body of the place. As our men entered through the embrasures, the few Russians who were between the salient and this breastwork retreated behind the latter, and got from the traverses to its protection. From it they poured in a quick fire on the parapet of the salient, which was crowded by the men of the light division, and on the gaps through the inner parapet of the Redan, and our men, with an infatuation which all officers deplore, but cannot always remedy on such occasions, began to return the fire of the enemy without advancing or crossing behind the traverses, loaded and fired as quickly as they could, but did little execution, as the Russians were well covered by a breast- work. There were also groups of Russian riflemen behind the lower traverses near the base of the Redan, who kept up a galling fire on our men. As the alarm of an assault was spread, the enemy came rushing up from the barracks in rear of the Redan, and increased the force and intensity of their fire, while our soldiers dropped fast and encouraged the Rus- sians by their immobility and the weakness of their fusillade, from which the enemy were well protected. In vain the officers, by voice and act, by example and daring, tried to urge our soldiers on. They had an impression that the Redan was all mined, and that if they advanced they would all be blown up ; but many of them acted as became the men of Alma and Inkerman, and, rushing to the front, were swept down by the enemy's fire. The officers fell on all sides, singled out for the enemy's fire by their courage. The men of the different regi- ments became mingled together in inextricable confusion. The 19th men did not care for the orders of the officers of the 88th, nor did the soldier of the 23rd heed the commands of an officer who did not belong to his regiment. The officers could not find their men—the men had lost sight of their own officers. All the brigadiers, save Colonal Wyndham, were wounded or rendered unfit for the guidance of the attack. That gallant officer did all that man could do to form his men for the attack, and to lead them against the enemy. The fact was that the Russians having accumulated several thousands of men behind the breastwork, and seeing our men all scattered up and confused behind the inner parapet of the traverse, crossed the breastwork, through which several field- pieces were now playing. with grape on the inner face of the Redan, and charged our broken groups with the bayonet, at the same time that the rear ranks, getting on the breastwork, poured a heavy hail of bullets on them over the heads of the advancing column. The struggle that took place was short, desperate, and bloody. Our soldiers, taken at every disad- vantage, met the enemy with the bayonet too, and isolated combats took place in which the brave fellows who stood their ground had to defend themselves against three or four adver- saries at once, In this mgl‘e the officers, armed only with their swords, had little chance ; nor had those who carried pistols much opportunity of using them in such a rapid con- test. They fell like heroes, and many a gallant soldier with them. The bodies of English and Russians inside the Redan, locked in an embrace which death could not relax, but had rather cemented all the closer, lay next day inside the Redan as evidences of the terrible animosity of the struggle. But the solid weight of the advancing mass, urged on and fed each moment from the rear by company after company and battalion after battalion, prevailed at last against the isolated and dis- jointed band, who had abandoned the protection of unanimity of courage, and had lost the advantages of discipline and obedience. The struggling band was forced back by the enemy, who moved on crushing friend and foe, beneath their solid tramp, and, bleeding, panting, and exhausted, our men lay in heaps in the ditch beneath the parapet, sheltered them- selves behind stones and in bomb craters in the slope of the work, or tried to pass back to our advanced parallel and sap, and had to run the gauntlet of a tremendous fire. Many of them lost their lives or were seriously wounded in this attempt. As soon as we abandoned the assault the firing almost ceased along our front, but in the rear of the Malakhoff there was a fierce contest going on between masses of Russians, now released from the Redan, or drawn from the town, and the French, inside the work, and the fight for the Little Redan on the proper left of the Malakhoff, was raging furiously. Clouds of smoke and dust covered the scene, but the rattle of musketry was incessant, and betokened the severe nature of the struggle below. Through the breaks in the smoke there could be seen now and then a tricoloursurmounted by an eagle fluttering bravely over the inner parapet of the Malakhoff. The storm of battle rolled fiercely round it, and beat against it ; but it was sustained by strong arms and stout hearts, and all the assaults of the enemy were directed in vain against it. We could see, too, our noble allies swarming over into the Malakhoff from their splendid approaches to it from the Mamelon, or rushing with -swift steps towards the right, where the Russians, continually reinforced, sought in vain to beat back their foes and to regain the key of their position. The struggle was full of interest to us all, but its issue was never doubted. It would be,untrue-to say that the result of our assault was not the source of deep grief And mortification •to.P, which all the glorious successes of our allies mild _not

CHURCH. Since my residence among the Mormons (says our author) I had as little general intercourse with them as possible, rarely went to their meetings, and knew nothing of their political business or Church affairs, except such information as circumstances threw in my way. I was not, and never had been, a believer in their doctrines, and unless I had absolutely closed my ears and eyes and understanding to all passing events, I could not fail to perceive that the whole system was founded on arrant jugglery and imposture, and that all sorts of secret arts were employed to entrap, the weak, the unsuspecting, and the unwary. But there was one thing I could not fathom, one mystery utterly unresolvable, and though I am not naturally suspicions, or prone to indulge unreasonable conjectures, I found it impossible to banish all thoughts of foul play from my mind. Indeed, several circum- stances, all light and trivial, taken separately, yet of considerable importance in the aggregate, had inspired me with a sort of vague indefinable suspicion, that the Mormon Church was the centre of a secret organization, whose plots and plans were of the blackest description. I had known for many years that the scum of society, the refuge of prisons, and criminals hoary with all sorts of sin, were freely admitted and registered in its ranks. I had been aware of political machinations, and plun- dering expeditions against the helpless and unsuspecting emigrants, and yet had fondly imagined that such things arose rather from the turpitude and evil dispositions of the Mormon leaders, than from the absolute and unchangeable nature of the principles of the Mormon Church. I knew, that a thing pure and heavenly in itself, might be per- verted to favour the purposes of designing men, but after a while I began to suspect and ultimately discovered that the root of the evil was in Mormonism itself; that a Mormon, if he acted out the principles of his Church, must be hypocritical, sensual, devoid of all conscience, and devilish. Was my husband of this class. "Speak well of a bridge that carries you safe over," is an old adage, and so far at least he had always treated me with kindness and affection. Then I remembered the disclosures of Mrs. Bradish, and the deception he had employed in our first acquaintance, which only seemed an additional proof—but no matter. It is not becoming in a' woman to speak ill of her husband. I had noticed on several occasions the mysterious and unaccountable dis- appearances of several persons, not my particular or in- timate friends, or those belonging to the circle in which I was accustomed to move, but people that I knew by sight and reputation, whose faces I had encountered in the street, and whose names were familiar. Yet these sudden disappearances never elicited remarks or inqui- ries ; that is, among those who should, have taken the matter in hand. They were gone, and that comprised the sum of the matter ; but where they were or who had spirited them away, was quite another thing. In all cases, however, the persons thus mysteriously removed, were enemies of the person or administration of Brigham, and sometimes it appeared that they had been aspirants to supplant him, or share his rule. Lawrence and Irene had been two of this, number. They had dwelt together in a small house, and Irene might be seen daily walking with him in their little garden. But all at once the door of their cottage was closed, the garden was solitary, their domestic animals ran wild to be reclaimed by order of the Church, but the Church made no order concerning their owners ; Mr. Ward said they might be off on a journey. He didn't know why any one should ask him where they were, as he was not their keeper. This was the language of Cain, but I banished the thought. Equally mysterious had been the disappearance of others. An aimiable young man, who had visited Utah in company with an emigrant train, became deeply en- amoured of a young girl belonging to a Mormon family, hough not a daughter of the house. His affections were

"SPIRIT OF PUNCH." A WASHED DuKE.---The Glasgow Citizen, in de- scribing the personal appearance of some of the savans assembled at the meeting of the British Association, is good enough to remark of the Duke of Argyll, that he looked " superlatively clean." Did the Scotch reporter muddle the modicum of French in his pos- session, and think it was a case of savon instead of savant? Or, is it such a wonder that a Scotch duke should be physically clean ? Some of the Scotch dukes (like some of the English ones) have done very dirty things in their time, but it was hardly a matter of surprise that the Duke of Argyll, who, moreover, is a very estimable 'young man, should have washed his face and put on a clean shirt upon such an occasion. To be sure such a luxurious demonstration might ex- cite a :trifle more notice in Glasgow than in most places, but even there the upper classes occasionally set examples of unobjectionable neatness. The Citizen has been showing his freedom rather unwarrantably. AN ACQUISITION TO PLAIN ENGLISH.—The writer of Notes and Sketches [in the Morning Post makes the following remark, among others of a more judicious character, on the subject of " Discourse :"—" To say that some point has been excluded, or left out of the question, is much better than to say it has been

,EMENT TO THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD ran away from college to see the world ; and in the following year entering the army, serving both in Portugal and in Africa, under the Marquis of Santa Cruz The next year he came home again, and engaged himself as page and secretary to the Bishop of Ayala, working away, of course, at his poetry all the while, as none but Lope de Vega or a steam-engine could work, and producing, amongst various other things, a pastoral comedy in three acts, called La Pastoral de Jacinto, the author-soldier-secretary being then sixteen years of age I Sent by his patron, the bishop, to the University of Alcala, he went to work at the solid fare of philosophy, theology, and mathematics, taking at the same time, by way of a relish, the Italian, Portuguese, and French languages. But even all this was insufficient for his voracious ap- petite. So—to carry out the simile—he flew to the occult sciences, as to a lump of bread and cheese, to finish up with. And now he was never happy but when in the midst of crucibles, fur- naces, and alembics. If any one could have found out the grand secret, it would surely have been Lope de Vega. He didn't ;so we must needs sup- pose the alchemists were labouring under a mis- take. Next, Lope de Vega fell in love. Some say with one lady ; some say with two. We should incline to think the latter—one at a time could hardly be enough for him. He didn't marry them, nor either of them. Some time afterwards, thinking it time to settle down in life, he made his mind up to become a priest. He underwent the necessary preparations, and was on the very eve of being ordained, when he fell in love again. The church and priestly vows were no more to be thought of. He married. This was in 1584. Scarcely was he married, however, than—just by way of a change—he got into prison, owing to a duel. He escaped, of course ; it was not likely he could wait until his time of imprisonment was over. He went to Valencia, remained there some time writing, until, upon the death of his wife, he flew once more to battle, for excitement, and embarked on board the Invincible Armada, which Philip the Second was then fitting out to invade the English coasts. The Invincible Armada being thoroughly destroyed, Lope next visited Italy, spending some years in Naples, Parma, and Milan. Returning once more to Madrid, he mar- ried again, and by his second wife was soon made a happy father. Now he was writing in earnest for the stage, poverty and himself, as he tells us, " having en- tered into partnership as traders in verses ;" and a very large proportion of his plays were the pro- duction of this trading firm during the tranquil years of his second marriage. He lost his second wife in the year sixteen hundred and seven, some sixteen years after he had marrried her, and then he joined the Inquisition, and finally became a priest. His priestly duties were numerous, but even yet he managed to find time for the theatre, and the very year that he was made a priest (sixteen hundred and nine) he wrote his Arte Nuevo de hater Comedias, and we would rather not venture upon saying how many plays. One more short anecdote in illustration of the wonderful rapidity of Lope's pen, and we have done. We find it in Montalvan. The writer for the theatre at Madrid was at one time at such a loss for comedies that the doors of the Theatre de la Cruz were shut ; but as it was in the Carnival, he was extremely anxious on the subject, so Lope and his friend Montalvan were applied to, and they agreed to compose a joint comedy as fast as possible. It was the Tercera Orden de San Francisco, and is the very one in which Arias acted the part of the Saint (we beg the pardon of leading tragedians now living—the criticism is Montalvan's, not our own) more naturally than was ever witnessed on the stage. The first act fell to Lope's lot, the second to Montalvan's. These were despatched in two days, and the third act was to be divided equally between the two authors, each doing eight leaves. Montalvan went home at night, and being well aware that he could not equal Lope in the execution, he thought (misguided Montalvan !) that he would try and beat him in the despatch of the business. For this purpose he got up at two o'clock in the morning, and managed to complete his portion of the act by eleven. Montalvan then went out—not a little proud of what he'd done, no doubt—to look for Lope. He found him in his garden, very deeply occupied with an orange-tree that had been frost- bitten in the night. What ! not at work ? Mon- talvan doubtless thought he'd got him noW! He asked him how he had got on with his task, when Lope answered, I set about it at five ; but I finished the act an hour ago ; took a bit of ham for breakfast, wrote an epistle of fifty triplets ; and have watered the whole of the garden, which has not a little fatigued me." Then, taking out the papers, he read to his collaborateur the eight leaves and the triplets,- " a circumstance," Montalvan adds, " that would have astonished me, had I not known the fertility of his genius, and the dominion he had over the rhymes of our language." Well might it have astonished him, indeed ! •It would have surprised us, if anything could. But then it can't—at least when it relates to Lope de Vega. " The Little Chorister" is a charming story in five chapters, which may be read with profit and pleasure by people of every age, sex, and station. —Household Words.

It appeared that the accountants estimated that a surplus of £25,000 will be realised by the sale of the business property. It was stated, on behalf of Mr. Mare, that the real surplus would probably reach £lOO,OOO, if the property be not sacrificed. Five gen- tlemen were appointed to assist the official assignees in carry- ing on the business until the 12th of October, when the trade assignees will be appointed.

SOCIETY FOR THE PROPAGATION OF THE GOSPEL IN FOREIGN PARTS.. MEETING LAST NIGHT. TILE ANNUAL MEETING of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts was, held in the lecture-hall of the Collegiate Institution, last night. The chair was occupied by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Chester, and on the platform were also the following gentlemen : Right Rev. Lord Bishop of Melbourne; T. B. Horsfall, Esq., M.P. ; Revds. R. Caldwell, India ; Dr. Taylor ; Dr. Carpenter ; J. Tobin : T. L. Pain ; G. W. Warr ; J. Crump ; J. Hassall ; J. North; W. T. Newenham ; J. H. Jones ; Dr. Hume • J. Haggitt ; A. Knox ; T. C. Cowan ; D. Browne ; J. Welsh ; J. W. Kewley ; T. Tomlin ; Briton ; Gilmour ; - Charles W. Lawrence ; T. Bowman ; F. Wal- iond ; H. Vernon ; Thos. Moore ; T. M. Lester John Stew- art ; J. Dandy ; J. Blakey ; R. V. Sheldon ; T. Leigh ; Lingard ; Titterton ;H. Jones. Charles Groves, Esq., Edward Jones, Esq., J. K. Rounthwaite, Esq., H. J. 'Webster, and R. A. Payne, Esq. The meeting was attended by a numerous assemblage of ladies and gentlemen. The proceedings were commenced by prayer, by the Rev. G.W.Warr, the local secretary, after which The LORD Baum. of CHESTER rose, and afterreferringto the feelings of pleasure with which he usually presided at the meet- ings of this society, he said, but on this occasion those feelings , are mingled with sentiments of a very sad and deep regret, in which lam sure that all of you here share,—l refer to the loss that we have all sustained by the death of the Venerable Archdeacon of Liverpool. I say all sustained—for I cannot but look at his death, even at his great age, as a great public loss. No doubt it was a loss, a heavy loss to his own family; it is a loss to the circle of his private friends. I myself have lost a most kind personal friend, and a most valuable assistant to me in the superintendence of the diocese. But beyond those narrow and limited relations in which he stood to dif- ferent parties, I am sure you will feel that it is nothing more than the simple truth or case without exaggeration, when I say that his death is a loss to the whole town of Liverpool. It has been felt to be so already. The public demonstrations, the public sense of respectful sorrow that were made in every part of the town, as soon as ever the sad event of his death became known, are in themselves a full proof of general esti- mation in which his public services were so deservedly and pro- perly held. And let me say that that tribute of respect which was paid on Saturday so spontaneously to his memory reflects honour both to the old man who has gone to his rest full of years and full of respect, and reflects honour on the good and kind people of Liverpool, who have shown in so marked a manner that they know how to estimate and valne a character of solid and sterling worth, and of the genuine English stamp. (Murmurs of applause.) My friends, this is no time for any expressions of eulogy. I know your hearts go with mine ; neither is it the time to describe his character in detail, in its various bearings and relations, or else I might delight to speak of the genial and mellow kindness there was in all the intercourse of his private life, and in his hours of social ease. I might like to speak of the constant and zealous attention which he gave to all charitable institutions of your town ; and the ability with which he exercised the important functions of a magistrate for several years, respected by all the magistracy of the county, who were pleased to appoint him to preside at their meetings for the administration of justice—and, above all, I might speak of his unaffected piety, sound principles, and benignant spirit as a minister of the Church of England. I love the Church of England for many things—for nothing more than for its benignant spirit ; and I know not in what minister in all itsrange the benignant spirit.shoneout morebrightly than in our lamented friend. (Hear, hear.) All those various duties that I have glanced at, he was, through God's blessing, per- mitted to continue to perform—to perform all of them ; to perform them ably to the very list. Venerable by the official title which he bore in the diocese; but venerable also by his age, and venerable by his intrinsic, genuine, sterling charac- ter. But still I feel this is not the time; there may be some more fitting time, perhaps, for some voice at least to be lifted up to speak of those things. I will confine myself to what relates more strictly to our present meeting here, and only remind you further, that he was one of the most consistent supporters, judicious advocates, and warmest friends of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel. (Hear, hear.) It was his intention, if he had been spared, to have been here this night amongst us, and to have taken some part, as he has often taken, in our proceedings. My friend, the Bishop of Melbourne, was to have been his guest, as so many advocates of religious societies have been his guests before. He was also proposing to have received me with his usual kindness in his house to share, as I have often done, his hospitality ; but it has been ordered otherwise by the Almighty God, who orders all things for the best—His will be clone. Let it be our prayer that God may raise up many ministers to follow the steps and example of this His good servant, whom He has now permitted to depart in peace. (During the delivery of those observations his lord- ship was affected to tears.) The cause (he continued to say) for which they met survived all the trials of generations of mankind ; and God be thanked, as one good man sank into the grave, others were raised up by Providence to pursue the same course of piety and usefulness. But to turn to the direct purpose of our meeting, our last meet- ing was one of more than ordinary interest. On the last occasion of our meeting we had with us the Bishop of New Zealand, who bore interesting testimony to the state of his diocese. We have now among us another Australian bishop—the Bishop of Melbourne,—whom I have much plea- sure in introducing to the meeting as my friend. (Cheers.) He has left behind him at the University of Cambridge valu- able memorials of his worth, his scholarship, and of his piety. We have also among us the Rev. E. Caldwell, the able and energetic missionary to Tennevelly, in the East Indies, who will lay before you an account of the state of Christianity in that country. We will also lie addressed by two other gen- tlemen—Mr. Horsfall, our respected parliamentary represen- tative. (Cheers.) He is the kind patron and tried friend of every good and religious object. The other is the Rev. Dr. Taylor, one of my own clergy, and one whom it affords me the greatest pleasure to meet with on all occasions. (Cheers.) I have had the pleasure of meeting that gentleman on points of interest to both of us and to the community, and I have always been delighted to feel the courtesy and kindness, the earnestness, and the true religion which he has always exhibited. (Cheers.) lam gratified to know that you approve of this expression of my sentiments, because I feel assured that Dr. Taylor is entitled to your and my esteem and regard. I shall not longer stand between you and the object of the meeting, but will call on my friend the Bishop of Melbourne, who will move the first resolution. The Lord Bishop of MELBOURNE moved the first resolution, which was to the following effect :—That this meeting desires humbly to record their thankfulness to Almighty God for the continued and increasing blessings which he appears to have vouchsafed to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, as a great instrument for promoting throughout the world the saving knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ." He said the field of the society's operations were the foreign provinces of the British empire, which might well be called the world. They extended to every part of the world, and in extending the knowledge of the gospel to them, they were extend- ing it throughout the world. The provinces of the

THE WAR. STORMING AND CAPTURE OF SEBASTOPOL. THE anxiously-expected news embodying details of the sanguinary conflict which resulted in placing the town of Sebastopol in the hands of the Allies has at length arrived, and these details are now patent to the public. That the struggle was a sharp and deadly one was felt by all; but even anticipation seems to have fallen greatly short of its dreadful reality. That the assault was gallantly made and desperately resisted, was a truth of which every one felt satisfied, judging from the importance of the prize contended for and the oft- repeated valour exhibited by the competitors for it on both sides. Now that the information is before us in all the ampli- tude of its heroic details, we feel in some degree perplexed in the attempt to realize in the mind's eye the various combats, successes, repulses, renewed conflicts and ultimate triumph of those dreadful struggles which ended in the capture of the town, and the final expulsion of the Russians from all the strongholds on the southern margin of Sebastopol creek. According to pre-arrangement between the English and French commanders, the bombardment, which had been kept up with unceasing vigour for the three preceding days, was discontinued at noon on the Bth of September. At that time a detachment of Zouaves and French troops of the line made a daring and successful dash at the works of the Malakhoff, which, after a desperate resistance, they succeeded in cap- turing and retaining. The success of this great and glorious operation was the agreed-upon signal for the English attack upon the Great Redan, and also for simultaneous attacks by the French upon the Little Redan at Careening Bay, and on the Central Bastion. All these attacks were made with the devotion and the resistless sweep of heroes. The several points were successfully carried, though contested by the assail- ants at desperate odds. The English attacking columns, not- withstanding that they had to traverse an open space for a considerable distance between their entrenchments and the breach in the salient angle of the Great Redan, exposed to a dreadful fire of round and grape shot, succeeded in forcing their way through the breach and establishing themselves within the walls of the Redan. Here they were exposed to a murderous fire from traverses which swept the enclosed area on two sides, while they were so cooped up as to prevent the possibility of returning the fire, or moving to dislodge their opponents. Yet this dreadful and unequal combat they sus- tained for nearly two hours ; but were ultimately compelled to relinquish the fatal ground which they had conquered and retained at so enormous a sacrifice of life. The attacks on the Central Bastion and on the Little Redan failed likewise from similar causes, and after a corresponding amount of devoted heroism, in their first capture, and obstinate though only temporary retention. The Malakhoff had always been felt to be the key of the position on the south side of the harbour, and fortunately the attack on it, aided by the diversion occasioned by the other assaults, was completely successful, and it remained in indis- putable possession of the Allies. The Russians, convinced of the hopelessness of further resistance after the fall of the Malakhoff, almost immediately evacuated the town, after having set fire to it in several places, and attempted to blow up and destroy the principal fortifications. In the course of the following Monday, two days after the capture of the Malakhoff, the Allies took undisputed possession of the town, and the whole of its defences, on the south side of the harbour, the enemy having precipitately withdrawn to the northern forts. CAPTURE OF THE MALAKHOFF BY THE FRENCH. The correspondent of the Daily News, writing from the camp before Sebastopol, on the 10th ult., says : At twelve o'clock exactly, on the Bth, the fire of the bat- teries ceased, and the party of Zouaves, who led the French attack, dashed over the parapet of their advanced sap, and in less than a minute had crossed the intervening forty yards, and were scrambling up the parapet of the round tower. Con- trary to all hope, the solitary gun on the proper right of the work was the only piece that received the assaulters with a discharge, and there was no time to reload it before our allies were inside the redoubt; the mischief inflicted by its one round of grape was but small. Swarm after swarm of our allies crowded up the steep embankment, till the whole parapet was literally covered with them, and then commenced such a fire of musketry as never echoed through the ravines around Sebastopol before. I can compare its unbroken continuity to nothing but the rattling tattooes of a thousand tenor drums. I have witnessed 70,000 men engaged in a general action; but the infantry fire delivered on the occasion was but as child's play compared with the ceaseless roll that poured in upon the Malakhoff during Saturday's attack. The enemy had evidently been taken by surprise, and after a feeble stand made by the supports within the redoubt when the French entered, the place was vacated by its former hold- ers, who kept up a running fire as they retired. Reserves, however, were speedily brought up, but as the French con- tinued to pour in at all points in more than an equal ratio, these, too, were soon overpowered, and in less than half an hoar after the first Zouave scaled the parapet, the Malakhoff was won. The deafening roll of musketry, however, in no de- gree diminished, but swept on to the right towards the Little Redan, whose guns flanked the tower : here, and in the ad- joining works, the struggle was continued for nearly a couple of hours, till the last Muscovite was driven from his cover, and the ground occupied by our allies. In reference to the same important event the special cor- respondent of the Times, under date of the 10th of Septem- ber, says : The weather changed suddenly yesterday. A biting wind right from the north side of Sebastopol blew intolerable clouds of harsh dust into our faces. The sun was obscured ; the sky was of a leaden wintry gray. Early in the morning a strong force of cavalry, under the command of Colonel Hodge, was moved up to the front and formed a chain of sentries in front of Cathcart's Hill and all along our lines. No person was allowed to pass this line, unless he was a staff-officer or was provided with a pass. At 11 30 the Highland brigade, under Brigadier Cameron, marched up from Kamara, and took up its position in the reserve in the right attack, and the guards, also in reserve, were posted on the same side on the Woron- zoff road. The first brigade of the fourth division served the trenches of the left attack the night before, and remained in them. The second brigade of the fourth division was in re- serve. The guards, who served the trenches of the left attack, and only marched out that morning, were turned out again after arriving at their camp. The third division massed on the hill-side before the camp, were also in reserve, in readiness to move down by the left attack in case their services were required. General Pelissier during the night collected about 30,000 men in and about the Mame- lon, to form the storming columns for the Malakhoff and Little Redan, and to provide the necessary reserves. The French were reinforced by 5000 Sardinians, who marched up from the Tchernaya last night. It was arranged that the French were to attack the Malakh3ff at noon. At 10 30 the Second Division and the Light Division moved down to the trenches, and were placed in the advanced parallels as quietly and unostentatiously as possible. About the same hour Gen. Simpson and staff moved down to the second parallel of the Green-hill battery. Sir Harry Jones, too ill to move hand or foot, nevertheless insisted on being carried down to witness the assault, and was borne to the parallel on a litter, in which he remained till all was over. The Duke of Newcastle was stationed at Cathcart's-hill during the early part of the day, and afterwards moved off to the right of the picket-house, looking out over the Woronzoff-road. Shortly after 10 46 Gen. Pelissier and his staff went up to the French observatory on the right. The French trenches were crowded with men as close as they could pack, and we could see our men through the breaks in the clouds of dust, which were most irritating, all ready in their trenches. The cannonade languished purposely towards noon; but the Russians, catching sight of the cavalry and troops in front, began to shell Cathcart's- hill and the heights. A few minutes before twelve o'clock the French, like a swarm of bees, issued from their trenches close to the doomed Malakhoff, swarmed up its face, and were through the embrasures in the twinkling of an eye. They crossed the seven metres of the ground which separated them from the enemy at a few bounds —they drifted as lightly and quickly as autumn leaves before the wind, battalion after battalion, into the embrasures, and in a minute or two after the head of their column issued from the ditch, the tricolour was floating over the Korniloff bastion. The musketry was very feeble at first—indeed our allies took the Russians quite by surprise, and very few of the latter were in the Malakhoff; but they soon recovered themselves, and from twelve o'clock till past seven in the evening the French had to meet and defeat the repeated attempts of the enemy to regain the work and the Little Redan, when, weary of the fearful slaughter of his men, who lay in thousands over the exterior of the works, the Muscovite general, despairing of success, withdrew his exhausted legions, and prepared, with admirable skill, to evacuate the place. Of the French attack on the left I know nothing but that, if intended in earnest, it was not successful, and was followed by some loss to our allies. As soon as the French had made good their footing in the Malakhoff a tricolour was run up to announce the triumph, and, immediately after, a small white flag—the signal ap- pointed for the advance of our own men—was waved from the parapet of the Mamelon. At the first glance of it the order was passed on from General Codrington for the stormers to leave cover, and half a minute later, Major Welsford and his party, carrying the scaling ladders, bounded over the parapet of the boyeau. A volley of grape struck down nearly a third of them, poor Welsford included, but the remainder rushed k$ pt on. In the meantime the Rifles, under Capt. Fyers, kept up a vigorous and deadly fire on the embrasures ; but the thick-matted mantlets with which these were curtained in a great measure counteracted this, and the grape continued to fly thick and fast over the death-space to be crossed. The second body of stormers followed quickly on the heels of those who were already placing the ladders, and, being well sup- ported by those behind, were soon inside the Redan. Here a murderous but brief struggle ensued, and before many minutes had elapsed since the first of our men gained the parapet, none of the enemy, but the dead and dying, re- mained within it. The Redan, like the Malakhoff, was won. And here I might have chaunted a wean in honour of our unqualified triumph, too, had not the blundering mismanage- ment, which has so often borne fruit in the sacrifice of our troops, again turned up deprive us of our full share of the glory of this memorable day. Instead of pouring in suppoits to the aid of those in possession of the redoubt, General Cod- rington, for some mysterious strategic reasons known only to himself, kept back the troops who crowded the trenches in the rear till the enemy had time to bring up his overpowering reserves and clear the Redan of our men. The latter bravely, but vainly, attempted to make a stand, anxiously expecting every minute the arrival of supports ; but no supports came, and they were swept back into the open to retreat under fresh storms of grape—for by another marvellous piece of neglect no attempt at spiking the guns of the place had been made by those who had gained a footing inside. Orders for the withheld supports were then given, but the

AN INGENIOUS BLIND Max.—The Journal de Chartres gives an account of a water-mill, in the hamlet of Oisieme, near Chartres, built entirely by a blind man, without either assistance or advice from any one. The masonry, carpenter's work, roofing, stairs, paddle-wheel, cogs, in a word, all the machinery pertaining to the mill, has been made, put up, and set in motion by him alone. He has also, the above journal asserts, made his own furniture. When the water is low and the mill does not work, our blind miller becomes a joiner, and- also a turner, on a lathe of his own invention, and so he makes all manner of uten- sils, and pretty toy windmills for the juveniles. He lives quite alone, sweeps his own room, and cooks his own dinner ; his mother, who has fifteen children to care for, lives a mile off, and does not trouble her head about "her blind boy," for "he earns his bread now," she says, " and does not want her." In 1852 this blind miller was rewarded with a medal by the agricultural society of the arrondissement for a ma- chine serving the double purpose of winnowing corn and separating the best grains from the common sort. ALLEGED USE OF CHLOROFORM IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE. —Last Friday afternoon a gentleman stepped into a first-class carriage of the five o'clock train from Glasgow, and seating himself comfortably in a corner, laid his head back, and knew little more about his position or whereabouts till, startled from a sort of slumber by the stoppinc, of the train, he looked out and found himself at Greenock instead of Paisley, the latter being his proper destination. He mentioned his surprise and dis- appointment to three fellow-passengers, well-dressed young men, who passed the occurrence over with a joke, and left him. Shortly afterwards he found that he had been robbed of £lO by the way ; and there is a reason to suppose, from certain spmptoms which have been stated, that shortly after the start- ing of the train from Glasgow, chloroform had been adminis- tered to him in his half-dozing condition, and the robbery effected by his fellow-travellers.— Glasgow Post.

Fielding Ould, incumbent of Christ Church, Hunter- street, preached his farewell sermon to a very large congrega- tion, after a ministration of about twenty years in this town. The Rev, gentleman has been presented by the Lord Bishop of the diocese to the rectory of Tattenhall, in Cheshire, on which living he will enter immediately. His text was from Psalm lxxx, 14—" Return, we beseech thee, 0 God of hosts ; look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine." DIE QUEEN'S LETTERS.—At a meeting of the Exeter Auxiliary of the Incorporated Societies for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge and the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, held at Exeter on Thursday, the bishop of the diocese, before putting the last resolution to the meeting, made the following observations on the withdrawal of the Queen's letter :—" In answer to what has fallen from my friend, Mr. Kekewich, I must be permitted to say that it will give me the greatest pleasu .e to put earnestly forth a request to my clergy that they will preach sermons annually for these societies as they have hitherto done, though they can no longer use the high name of the Crown as formerly. (Applause) It is pain- ful, indeed, to see that the support has been withdrawn which the religion of this country has been in the habit of receiving from the temporal head of all in this country, both in Church and State—l mean not the head of the Church alone, because the Queen is no more the head of the Church than the State, nor in any other sense —but the Crown was wont to regard the Christian religion as pre-eminent in this land, and I am exceedingly sorry that the illustrious lady who has shown such distinguished regard for the interests of her country should be so circumstanced with regard to her counsels that she cannot concede to us the position in which those who have gone before have placed us. (Applause.) It is for us to consider that, while we deeply regret their decision, we cannot be so unjust, we cannot act so contrary to our own feelings, as to express our approval of an act which, I must say, I think is the aban- donment of a first duty, and does not add to the dignity of the illustrious lady who wears the crown. She has been advised, most unfortunately, as I think for her own credit, unfortunately for the interests of the country, unfortunately for the honour of the Crown, which they were specially bound to protect. They have, unhappily, determined to advise the crown to cast off all connection with any society in connection with that Church of which she is bound by the constitution of This country to be a communicant—of that Church whose rights she is bound to protect; but this was not a right —we had no actual right to it—and therefere I do not mean to impugn it as a departure from constitutional duty. I do, however, say that the constitution points to the duty of the ministers of the Crown, to advise that in all respects the Crown should act in a manner most likely to advance the interests of the Church of England. Now, the Church of England—it is a great and illustrious body, but it is nothing compared to the Church of Christ in the world. This is a blow struck, it may be by some miserable enemy of the Church of England, which strikes at the Church of England, it is true, but strikes not less at the Church of Christ. It refuses to give the sanction of the Crown of England to a cause in which justice is in the highest degree conspicuous ; and it refuses also to recommend the favourable consideration of the Crown towards a Church in the per- formance of its greatest duties. It is, I must think, a most unfortunate thing on the part of her present advisers. What- ever their reasons may be, and I will not suppose they are other than such as commend themselves to their own conscience and duty, yet as an Englishman I think, and as an English- man I venture to say, they are regardless of the feelings which Englishmen entertain. (Applause.)" CHORAL SOCIETY OF COLOGNE.—A Paris letter of the 26th says :—The Choral Society of Cologne gave its first concert in Paris at the Conservatoire, on Monday, and its second last night in the Salle Herz. On both occasions the audience was astonished and delighted. The style of singing of this eminent society is quite a novelty in this country. The effect of their exquisitely modulated voices (seventy in number) singing in chorus may be imagined to be that of a single instrument of unprecedented power and sweetness. The society consists, I am told, of about 300 members, and the 70 gentlemen who represent it here have been selected as being the most ac- complished performers among them. They are a remarkably gentlemanly and intelligent-looking set of men, and all ap- peared dressed in evening costume, with scrupulously white cravats, waistcoats, and kid gloves. They travel at their own expense, and purpose devoting the proceeds of their concerts to the completion of the steeple of the cathedral of Cologne. They intend to give about a dozen consecutive concerts in Paris, and then proceed to the principal provincial towns. MAN AGAINST HORSE.—A singular sporting event has occasioned some public interest in Paris. A Spaniard famous for his powers of running, had challenged an entire stud of hunters and steeple chasers to an even race for stakes of 2000 f.. the horse or man which tired all the others out to be declared the winner. The conditions of the race were these :—Genaro, on foot, and the horses pitted against him, mounted by jockeys to start together; the horses to trot or gallop, with liberty to change from one to the other of those paces at pleasure; nei- ther man nor horses allowed to walk, and any or either walk- ing to be declared distanced ; man or horse falling to get up at once and start afresh from the spot where he fell ; the course to be round the Hippodrome (about a mile and a half) the judges to count the number of turns made by each competitor, and the one that goes round the oftenest, and consequently travels over the most ground, to be proclaimed the winner. Thirteen English race-horses were entered for this exciting match. All the horses excepting two gave up before Genaro was tired. These two animals had made forty turns .while poor Genaro was only in his twenty-third. Still there was a chance for the pedestrian, for the two horses could not have continued to run much longer. The painful exhibition is to be repeated this Sunday, if Genaro be sufficiently recovered. He is the son of a famous runner, who died of fatigue after having carried despatches for a Spanish General a distance of about forty leagues in an incredibly short space of time. THE NEW PALACE AT WESTMINSTER.—In connexion with the New Palace there are three towers which form its most prominent features, and which, in consequence of their great height, may be seen from almost any portion of the metropolis. The one at the south end of the building is the magnificent Victoria tower, which forms the entrance of Her Majesty on the occasion of her visit to the House of Lords. It is a square tower, richly decorated in the Gothic style, and, when completed, will be 340 feet in height, or 64 less than the height to the cross of St. Paul's. The sides of the tower are each 75 feet in length. The central tower is one which covers the grand central ball between the Houses of Lords and Commons. It is circular in form, 60 feet in diameter, and the top of the lantern which surmounts the dome is 300 feet above high-water mark. The tower at the north end, close to Westminster-bridge, is the Clock Tower, which, when completed, will be 320 feet high. Like the Victoria Tower, this tower is square in its construction, each side being 40 feet in length, but it will differ from the larger spire in being sur- mounted by a beautifully perforated belfry spire. The tower has now reached an elevation of about 230 feet, there yet re- maining 125 feet to complete the work. There are five storeys in the tower, beneath that in which the clock will be placed. An air-shaft, 20 feet in diameter, at the top, runs down the entire length of the tower, through which the supply of pure air is proposed to be drawn by Dr. Reid into those subterranean chambers where it is warmed, cooled, or mixed previous to being inhaled by honourable members and noble lords. The floor in which the clock is intended to rest is 165 feet 7 inches above high water-mark, and the centre of the dial-plate of the clock will therefore be 182 feet 7 inches. Above the clock there will be a small pointed tower rising from each of the angles 20 feet high, while the central tower will soar to the height of 70 feet, and will be surmounted by a tall vane. EMIGRATION.—At the meeting of the British Association at Glasgow, Mr. Newmarch read a paper " On the Emigration of the last ten years from the United Kingdom, and from France and Germany." Five hundred thousand persons had emigrated annually during the last five years from Europe to America ; of which 300,000 went from England, and 200,000 from Central Europe. The population of Great Britain had increased 300,000 durihg this period ; so that the entire in- crease of our population from natural causes had emigrated. This could not go on without materially interfering with the population and position of this country, although Dr. Farr thought it could do so. There was a Board of Emigration in France, somewhat similar to ours, and a decree of the Em- peror made regulations corresponding to our Passenger Act. The French emigrants came chiefly from the Rhine districts. Our emigrants were chiefly-60 to 70 per cent.—from Ireland. It was nearly self-supporting. It had raised the rate of wages greatly in Ireland. The reaction of this emigration was most beneficial. Not only had the surplus population been removed, but a stream of money was flowing back in the shape of remittances. The emigration into the United States in 1854 was 460,000, of whom one-half came from Great Britain, and the other half from Central Europe. France has been but little affected by this vast emigration. In ten years, from 1841 to 1855, the emigration to the United States had been 31 millions, and the population of that country had increased 37 per cent., which was three times the rate at which our population increased. lie then referred to the great ' prosperity of our North American colonies, and the rapid rate ' at which they had progressed during the past ten years. In that period they had undergone changes and assumed a posi- tion fraught with importance to this country. He next alluded to our Australian dependencies; the colony of New South Wales remitted £1,600,000 to this country in 1853, to promote emigration thither ; and the other colonies had also remitted large sums for the same purpose. A long discussion ensued on the subject of the present decline in the emigration from Ireland, which was attributed partly to the anti-Irish opera- tions of the Know-Nothing party in America, and which, if continued, would, it was supposed, divert the stream of emigration towards Canada and other British Colonies. Mr. Newman replied, and stated that the emigration of this country employed a fleet of 1,000 ships, with a tonnage of 800,000. These vessels sought return cargoes, often at Calcutta, which had a good effect on the commerce of that country. They were the finest and largest ships we had.

wholly alleviate. Even those who thought an attack on the Redan useless and unwise, inasmuch as the possession of the Malakhoff would, in their opinion, render the Redan untenable, could not but regret bitterly that, as we had given the assault, we had not achieved a decisive triumph, and that so much blood had been, if not ingloriously, at least fruitlessly, poured forth.

DEATH OF THE VEN. ARCHDEACON BROOKS, IT may truly be affirmed that no individual ever enjoyed more universally the respect and esteem of the inhabitants of Liverpool, than the Ven. Archdeacon BROOKS, the senior Rec- tor of the parish, whose death took place on Saturday morn- ing, about one o'clock, at his residence in Everton-road. Al- though the venerable gentleman had entered upon the eighty- first year of his age, he was in apparently robust health, and had discharged his numerous public engagements, magisterial, parochial, and clerical, up to the period of his decease. On Tuesday he presided at the fortnightly meeting of the Select Vestry, and was in his usual health on Friday ; but on one of the domestics proceeding to his study, about four o'clock in the afternoon, with the slight refreshment he was in the habit of taking at that hour, she found her master in a state of in- sensibility, and apparently suffering from the effects of apo- plexy. A messenger was immediately despatched for the family surgeon, Dr. Taylor, but, that gentleman being from home, Dr. Chalmers, of Everton-road, was called in. Subse- quently, Dr. Taylor and Dr. Vose arrived; but medical skill was of no avail, life could not be prolonged, and in a few hours he departed without having shown any sign of consciousness from the time his position was discovered by the " servant. He had been actively engaged at his desk up to the period of the attack, as appeared from a letter enclosed in an envelope directed to the chancellor of the diocese. The letter was in the left hand of the deceased, and in the right he held a postage stamp, which had just been moistened, but before he could attach it to the paper he received the fatal stroke. From this circumstance it is inferred that he had not been deprived of consciousness more than a minute or two before the servant entered the room. He died at a quarter to one o'clock on Saturday morning, having com- pleted his 80th year on the Ist of September. The members of the family were apprised as early as possible of the con- dition of their much-lamented relative ; but only a portion of them, then staying at Southport, had the satisfaction of seeing him alive, and then, as already stated, insensible. On the Sunday previous to his death, Rector Brooks preached at St. Peter's ; but for several months before he had not engaged in his ministerial duties, principally on account of the defective state of his eyesight. At the time of his decease a sermon lay on the table beside him. It bad been recently prepared, and was intended for delivery on Sunday, in advocacy of the claims of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. His life was one continued scene of activity and usefulness ; and such was his desire to be beneficially em- ployed, that he had been frequently heard to say, in familiar intercourse with his friends, that when it should be the will of his Divine Master to call him hence, he would be found " in harness." The mournful intelligence was conveyed to the Mayor early on Saturday, in a letter from the Rev. Henry Campbell. His Worship imniediately ordered the flag at the Town-hall to be lowered half-mast, and a similar tribute to the memory of the deceased was paid at the Collegiate Institution, St. George's- hall; the parish and other churches, and on the various public buildings in the town... The Mayor forwarded a letter of con- dolence to the bereaved family, expressing; also, a desire, on the part of himself and the Corporation, to be allowed to join in the funeral procession. The borough magistrates have inti- mated a. corresponding wish, which, no doubt, is also ex- perienced by that portion of the county justices over whom the late Archdeacon had presided with so much ability. The late Rev. Jonathan Brooks was born in Liverpool, on the Ist of September, 1775', and had therefore completed his 80th year on the Ist of last month. He received a preparatory course of education at Macclesfield School, under the tuition of Dr. Davies. He was thence removed to Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated in honours, and took his.B.A. degree in 1'8: He commenced his ministerial career by receiving the appointment of assistant curate at the parish. church of Walton-on-the-Hill. Thence he succeeded to the incumbency of St. James's, and was- subsequently transferred to St. George's, Liverpool, where he held the office of chaplain; in which capacity be remained until' die 7th of October, 1829; when he was appointed, one of the net.tors of Liverpool, in• mccession to the Rev. R. IL Rou,g•hsedke, and the Rev. Angus- tus Campbell was appointed junior rector on the 4th of the following month ; so that he has fulfilled; the onerous duties.of Rector of Liverpool for-twenty-six years.. A-4 the creation of the See of Manchester; a partition of that of Chester, and with it new ecclesiastical arrangements, ensued:. Of these, one of the mostimportant was that of the creation' of the'Archdeaconry of LiVerpool, and to this responsible office the lamented deceased was appointed by Dr. Summer, the present. Archbishop of Cauterbuty, then Risher) of Chester. In addition to his clerical duties, the late Archdeacon filled many important positions of public trust. He was the senior magistrate of the county, having been appointedto the com- mission cf the peace in November, 1814. He •alAo presided for a number of years at the quarter sessions at Kirkdale, where he was -held in high esteem by his brother magistrates, since the death cf -Lord Skelmersdale; and his name •is intimately associated with parochial matters in virtue of his • position as chairman of the Select Vestry, as well as at the Annual Ves- tries. He was the founder and:one of the most energetic sup- porters of the 'Provident Savings Bank, and has been for many years prominently connected with• the Bluo,coat Hospital, District Provident Society, the 'Blind Asylum,, Dispensaries, and other public-charities. , Indeed, he was one of the fore- most men in the town, and his-loss will be felt and lamented by all classes and all sections of the community, The late RectOrhas left behind him two sons-- and a daugh- ter. One son,. the Rev. H. Brooks, is curateof St. Peter's Church. By the decease of Archdeacon Brooks, the Rev. Augustus Campbell, the junior rector, becomes the sole rectec of the perish. By the aet'of 10th and' 11th William. TIL, the town of Liverpool was separated front the parish of Walton, and became a distinct parish, under the title of the " parish of Liverpool." Under that act two rectors were appointed, to have the cure of souls for theinhabitants of the town. But a subsequent aot of the Ist and ad Victoria, Lap:. 98, section 2, obtained in 1888, settled the question of, the endowment of. churches, Iming united the medieties of the-rectory (i.e. held between two .rectors), and provided that on the decease of one. rector, the surviving rector shall be sole rector, and become - entitled to al/ the surplice, accustomed fees,. and annual pay- ments, Anti:ailing from the parish the annual sum of £200;: and from the Corporation the annual sum.. of £350, makir.g together the sum of £550; as well as to two several sums of £lOO by the parishioners in respect of the-other mediety of the rectory.. Upon the decease or avoidance of the remaining rector, the- payment by the Corporation will cease, and the succeeding:- and every future rector will be entitled' to receive fear sums or parochial stipends of £lOO each, provided under the acts of King William and 26 George 111., the whole of the pew rents, surplice- fees, and other ecclesiastical emolu- ments and parish dues. The act also,contains a provision for charging upon the ,parish the stipends of £lBO each for four parish curates. On the demise of the present recta;, the patronage or gift of the rectory, with all its advantages, reverts to Mr. 3._Stewart, to wham it was sold by the Corporation some few years since. At St. Peter's church, on Sunday, the Rev. J. C4,_lleadlam, formerly curate, preached a sermon in aid of the-Society for the• Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. After referring at some length to the•claims which the-society had upon the benevolence of the congregation, the rev. gentleman said there were on that occasion two motives,which should lead them to make liberal offerings on behalf of the society; They were offering up a public thanksgiving to, the Almighty for victories which hadgranted our arms, and for the pro- gress with which He had blessed them in what they believed to be a rightfak cause. What day, then,, could be more suitable for making their offerings. in behalf of the society for the propagation of His gospel ?. " But,:' said the rev:. gentleman, "there is also another cause which conies home to us still more dearly. -We have suddenly been deprived by death of our beloved Archdeacon and Rector. He expected to have been here to-day, himself—to stand in this place and himself to solicit your contributions in this good cause, which he had himself so much at heart. When you now make your offerings, reflect upon him whose whole life has been spent in promoting in, every way the great prin- ciples of the Christian faith. The present is not the occasion on whieh to dwell upon the great and the bitter loss of one so generally respected and beloved, but I have referred to it at present because he felt a great interest in the object with which we are now concerned, and because I know your thankfulness will be increased for having known and received benefits from tbe example of so good a man and so kind a friend." The funeral will take place on Thursday morning next, leaving the house of the late Archdeacon at half.past ten, when it is expected than the Worshipful the Mayor, the Aldermen and Town Councillors, the Magistrates, the mem- bers of the Select Vestry, the Churchwardens and Overseers, the Clergy, and a numerous body of the inhabitants will unite in a demonstration of respect for the deceased, by joining the funeral procession. The children of the Industrial and Blue Coat Schools will also take part in the ceremony, and it is said that the Lord Bishop of the diocese will be present on the occasion. As far as arrangements have yet been made, it is proposed that those who join in the funeral procession should meet in front of the Necropolis, West Derby-r Dad, on Thursday morning— the Clergy meeting at the top of Brownlow-hill, near the Workhouse—and that the cortbge should proceed through Brunswick-road, Islington, Norton-street, Seymour-street, and Rodney-street, to St. James's Cemetery. The funeral arrangements will, of course be under the direction of the family of the deceased, but the churchwardens will receive any suggestions• as to the public demonstration of respect for the departed, in order that it may be rendered as complete as possible.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. DENMAEK.—A Copenhagen despatch of Thursday says:— To-day the Volksthing finally passed, by a majority of ten, the constitution for the collective Monarchy. The votes were 54 to 44." A letter from Copenhagen states that the prose- cutions commenced against the members of the late Danish Ministry have been again postponed, the Attorney-General having now sent the necessary summons to the parties impli- cated for the 10th of October next. The High Court will meet on that day in the Palace of Amalienburg. INDIA.— The steamer Calcutta, with the Indian Overland mail, has been telegraphed from Trieste. Bombay accounts are brought down to the 29th Aug. The Santal rebellion con- tinues, but the rebels are beginning to give way. 50,000 re- bels are collected in Beerbtoom. The bill for granting a charter to the Oriental Gas Company has passed-its-Mond reading. Lord Elphinstone has returned to Bombay. Lord Dalhousie remains at the Neilgherries. Cnizia.—The Chinese news by the Overland mail is thus summarized by the Trieste telegraph :—" The pirates of China hold under their control a coast line of 2,000 miles in the tea districts of Hoonan and Oopack. The rebels are in great strength, and the trade of Canton is very restricted." RUSSIA.—The Emperor of Russia arrived at Moscow on the night of the 13th, accompanied by several councillors of state, and other personages of the court. The emperor, before leaving, signed various nominations, and it is said that from Moscow he will go to Brzesc Litowski. The following is from a letter dated Moscow, September 14 :—" A large crowd assembled last night, in spite of the most unfavourable weather, to wit- ness the arrival of the emperor, the empress, and the imperial family, and greeted His Majesty with the loudest acclamations, a thousand times repeated. Although it was nearly midnight before the emperor came in, the bells of all the churches were rung, and the city was illuminated. The emperor and the im- perial party took up their residence in the Kremlin. At one o'clock to-day the emperor and empress made their solemn appearance in the vestibule of the ancient palace, and, after saluting the people, who greeted them with enthusiastic accla- mations, proceeded to visit in succession the different sacred edifices comprised in the Kremlin. An estrade, a few feet high, decorated with purple, led to the vaorrio. the imperial cortege passed along i huge bell of the cathedral and all the bells ellpstp " The em- peror,nu; ethhuisrclh,rslt, andtb e rung."—A letter from Odessa of the in this place, will stop with his suite at during his stay within the line of the fortifica- the chateau of General Luders, tions.

DR. DE ROOS' COMPOUND RENAL PILLS (as their name Renal, or the Kidneys. indicates) have been long established as a most safe and speedy remedy for the above dangerous complaints, Discharges of any kind, and Diseasesof the Kidneys and organs therewith connected generally, &c.,which, if neglected, frequently end in a lingering painful death. For Depression of Spirits, Excitement, Dislike of Society, Incapacity for Study or Business, Loss of Memory, Confusion, Giddiness, Blood to the Head, Drowsiness, Sleep without refreshment, Nervousness, and even Insanity itself, they are unequalled. Possessing tonic pro- perties, they agree with the most delicate stomach, strengthen the digestive organs, increase the appetite, and improve the gene- ral health. They require neither confinement nor change of diet, and in three days will effect a cure when mercury and all other dangerous medicines have failed. One trial will convince the most sceptical of their surprising properties. Mr. Letellier, Etruria, Potteries.—" Your Renal Pills have done wonders with me and others to whom I have recommended them." H. C. Post-office, Stafford.—" Your Renal Pills are a most splendidmedicine." J.

Chartres, Esq., Newport, M ayo.—" I have s degree of mental energy and vigour such as I did not feel these two years. My memory is wonderfully improved, so that I can recollect all the events of each day with the greatest degree of clearness. It is astonishing how I got out of such awful sufferings, but I think I owe it altogether to the use of your Pills." PERSONS GOING ABROAD, CAPTAINS and OTHERS, can- not store more important articles of health than the above, which, by regulating the Stomach and Bowels, and tranquillizing the Nervous System, will prevent those fatal diseases so prevalent abroad, as also Sea Sickness and other complaints incidental to long voyages and irregular living. No Emigrant's Chest can be properly furnished without them, for when far removed from medical aid, they will find in these Pills a never-Jailing restorative. IMPORTANT.—The immense demand for the above has induced an unscrupulous person to imitate them, and to assume the name of De Roos. Some unprincipled Vendors, when asked for Dr. DE Roos' PILLS, have attempted to foist upon the public the spu- rious Medicines or trash of their own compounding,from which they obtain a larger profit. The GENUINE have the words, " WALTER DE ROOS, LONDON," in white letters on a red ground, printed in the Stamp affixed to each box ; by special direction of Her Majesty's Honourable Commissioners, to protect the Public from Fraud, and to imitate which is felony. May be obtained through all Medicine Vendors, at is. lad:, 25. 9d., 413. 6d., 11 s., and 335. per Box, with full directions for use; or by enclosing Post-office Order or Stamps to Dr. DE ROOS, 10, BERNERS-STREET, OXFORD-ST., LONDON, they will be sent per return.

SUSPICIOUS AND REVOLTING CASE. A young and very prepossessing lady came with an emi- grant train bound to Oregon. She became acquainted with a man, apparently a gentleman, who represented himself to her as being single, and possessing a large property. Other arts and intrigues were brought to bear upon her, and she finally consented to become his wife. The marriage took place in the morning, and the same day her friends resumed their journey. But judge of her con- sternation and astonishment, on being conveyed to his home, to find it tenanted by a wife, whose appearance be- tokened her a perfect tigress. She took no further notice of the new wife, than to order her into the kitchen, and bidding her remember that henceforth that was to be her place._ Julia looked at her husband. . . " Margaret is right," my dear," he said. " You must always obey her; indeed, on that condition only she con- sented to my bringing you here." Julia was too deeply grieved to speak, and retired to the kitchen ; and from that hour a system of tyranny and cruelty was practised by the first wife on the second that almost exceeds belief. Julia applied to her husband in vain. " The wife's first duty was obedience," he said. " Obedience to yourself," suggested Julia. " Obedience to me comprises obedience to her likewise," answered the husband, because it is my command that you obey and serve Margaret ; but don't bother me with your fusses." And so Julia was constrained to perform all the household drudgery, and not unfrequently was subjected to physical punishment of a cruel and revolting kind. For though the rules of Mormondom actually forbid the exer- cise of authority or punishment by one wife over another, the husband is at perfect liberty to suspend these rules any moment when he sees fit. Julia found the trials and miseries of her lot increasing every day, and she finally informed her husband that she had made up her mind to leave him with the first emigrant train that came along, and one was then expected every day. The husband approved her plan, and said that he would give her money, and seemed perfectly satisfied. But two or three evenings subsequently she disappeared, and was never seen or heard of afterwards. Nothing, however, was done about it. Some of the women ex- pressed surprise, but were silenced by a Mormon elder, who assured them that Satan had carried her off bodily, because she presumed to be discontented with her happy lot among the children of God. Another source of mystery and terror in Utah, was the almost constant exercise of Lynch law; and of this, too. women were mostly the victims. Let a woman, if she dare, commit such acts as would be likely to bring poly- gamy into disrepute, expose the weakness or sensuality of an elder, or manifest a disapprobation of the existing state of things, and some hideous punishment would be sure to be hers—when, where, or what, it would he impossible to tell, though none the less hideous and certain—that is, if it ever reached the ears of the elect and sanctified. In this respect matters daily, and almost hourly, grew worse. On our first arrival at Salt Lake, and some time 122 subsequently, we enjoyed a tolerable degre era freedom, but the reins gradually tightened, until it 'nerved that our very thoughts were under a strict surveillance. And the worst feature of the case was the deep and unfathomable mystery attending it. Punishments were inflicted for words lightly spoken, long after the words and the occasion of them were forgotten. Lynch laws were summarily exe- cuted on helpless victims, entirely ignorant of the crimes of which they were accused. Few women thus punished ever recovered from the effects of it; and many were ren- dered nervous, and half insane, from apprehension of the like. The secret and mysterious punishment and dis- appearance of individuals supposed to be inimical or dangerous to the leaders of this obnoxious sect form frequent subjects of observation, and con- stitute fertile themes for remark by our authoress, mingled in not a few instances with apprehen-i mons and misgivings of a serious nature on her own account. She thus pointedly summarises the GENERAL POLITY AND WORKING OF THE MORMON SUPPLEMENT TO THE LIVERPOOL ST returned with ardour by the lady, whose band had been demanded by a Mormon elder, already the husband of nine wives. Ignorant of danger, and intent only on the gratification of Lis passion, the lover remained in Utah while his friends prosecuted their journey. Arabel, from the commencement of his attentions, had been strictly watched ; yet love laughs at locksmiths, and they had concerted a plan of escape. This, by some unaccountable means, was betrayed, and the eloping lady leaped from the window of the room in which she was confined--not into the arms of the youth, but those of the man she loathed and hated. But where is the lover? To this day no one knows—that is, if their words are regarded as the truth;. but there are those who blench at the mention of his name. Several women disappeared in the same manner—generally disaffected wives. Brigham very laconically explainedt the matter in a newspaper published by his direction, and under his supervision, by stating that Indian Walker was passionately fond of the Mormon women, and that unless husbands were more careful of their wives in future,, they would lose yet more of them. But Mormon husbands• are careful of their wives with a vengeance : and it seemed• remarkable that the Indians should only meddle with: such as had become obnoxious to their husbands. From the preceding extracts, it is sufficiently evident that the working of the Mormon. system is socially as dangerous and wicked as itsreligious teaching is blasphemous and degrading. The expose contained in this little work is earnest, and seemingly executed with a scrupulous attention to fidelity. It ought to be valuable as a means of opening the eyes of the unsuspecting and credu- lous, who are apt to be led away by the artful tales of those practised in the ways of deceit. The pictures of misery and degradation contained in this delineation of female life among the Mormons are so hideous and revolting that, as warning beacons, they must prove salutary.. The Poetical Works of Charles Churchill. With Memoir, Critical Dissertation, and Explanatory Notes, by the Rev. George GiMan. Edin- burgh : James Nichol. The volume before us is, it many respects, the crowning wonder of the series of which it consti- tutes a part. It is the last lut one of the third year's issue, and in point of quantity of matter it exceeds all the previous volunes, without having, in any degree, deteriorated in quality of paper or printing, or being enhancel in price. Such liberality on the part of the spirited publisher is. deserving of the highest comnendation, and must serve still further to estabish the well-earned popularity of the work as a whole. The poems of Churchill, although "narked by extraordinary vigour of diction, and a manly independence of_, thought, have been less generally known than the writings of many a less giftel son of the Xuses ; and on this account will be, to many, a more welcome gift than the repubicatinn of the works of others, with which the public is mare exten- sively familiar. An obstacle to their general popularity has no doubt existed in the ephemeral character which usually attaches to works of satire ;. but in the case of Churchill there is so, much generalization in the style of treatment, that the object satirised, although fleeting in its indi- vidual interest, is still as valuable as ewer, when looked on as the medium hr conveying merited censure., Folly as folly,, vies as vice, are assailed with so truculent a style of battle, that the vigour of the combat and the glory of the victory re- main as striking and as valuable as ever, although the objects of the satirist's castigation and disdain have long faded from recollection. Like the other volumes of the series, the pre- sent is prefaced with a bi)grapical essay by the Rev. George Gilfillan, in which that gentleman displays his wonted fearlessness of investigation and his customary independence of opinion. In the beginning of this essay we have the annexed ESTIMATE OF CHURCHILL'S CHARACTER AND WRITINGS. Possessed of powers and endowments which might have made him, under favourable circumstances, a poet,

AGRICULTURE. THIN SEEDING.—I. H. W., writing to the j,,, tural Gazette, says :---The very intelligent mastery. the Newmarket Union showed on Bth Sept. grain of wheat of the crop 1852. It threw up se 0o spires, which were transplanted about 14th Nov; pa, about the 20th Aug., when the crop was gathered' there were 131 heads ; these contained 5,700 g 1.311; and a few over. The yield more than filled a tumble and the weight of it was 91 oz. The master 01111.05 and weighed the grains himself. I enclose a few gr,310, as a sample. Contrast this with the ordinary Pew, Two bushels per acre would be considered a thin 10 ing, and 40 bushels per acre a good yield---in 01 er words, 20 fold ; here we have 5,700 fold. On a f°llllted last 000 occasion he sowed one grain in Sept., and transPl3ll4 the spires in Nov.;and again in Feb.; and the P,e then was above 6,5'00 ; but he has not the evet Pa. 4 titulars. Again, in order to see whether old or be wheat threw up the strongest spires, he sowed 0,; 25th Aug., one grain of the crop 1851; one do. ISatce one do. 1853 ; one do. 1854; one do. 1855.
