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 l# 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, andin its action is entirely independent
of the number of burners it supplies.
At the undermentioned Offices an Experimental-room is fitted
lip 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
Nlansions, to which we can with pleasure and satisfaction refer as
the best proof of its utility and value.

LAMPS AND CHANDELIERS.
FL. HAT_TSBURG, 24, CHURCH-STREET.
•
F. L. H., with the view of curtailing some of the Branches of
his Business, has decided upon disposing of his Stock of
CHANDELIERS FOR GAS, OIL, &c.,
and begs to inform his Friends and the Public, that the Stock has
not only been completely reassorted, but the whole of the prices
have been very considerably reduced, thereby offering every pos-
sible inducement to give him the preference in selection. Articles
of the best manufacture have been marked at prices so low, that
those of the most inferior description could not be purchased at
the same rate, even by wholesale. F. L. H. would refer to the
following. namely :
Three-light Gas Chandelier, to slide, without fittings 10s.
Three-light Ditto, with Globes, Burners, Length-} j'2ening Rod, Socket, and Ball, fixed complete
Very pretty Chandeliers, for Drawing-rooms, fitted with } Os.
Glass Drops
A full and complete Stock of METAL and GLASS CHANDE-
LIERS, LAMPS, for the Hall Vestibule, &c., BRACKETS, GAS
PILLARS, and STAIRCASE LIGHTS, comprising every novelty
of design and style.
Every description of Gas Fittings made to order, and Lamps,
Chandeliers, &c., Rebronzed and Relacquered, by first-rate work-
men, upon the premises.
AUREOLE LAMPS.
The arrivals for the Season have just been received, combining
every variety, from the Plainest to the most Ornamental, and all
at the most moderate prices, namely :
Complete, with the best mechanism and all the latest improve-
ments, with Globe, Chimney, and Cottons,
At 155., 18s. 6d., 255., 285., to £25 each.
Every description of
LAMPS, FOR OIL AND CANDLES,
FOR SHIP USE AND DOMESTIC PURPOSES.
A large Stock of
PURE COLZA OIL,
IMPORTED DIRECT FROM THE CONTINENT,
kept entirely for the accommodation of F. L. H.'s customers, as
pure, unadulterated Oil cannot be obtained in the English market.
The AurEole Lamp having entirely. superseded the Solar Lamp in
England, F. L. H. offers his remaining Stock of
SOLAR LAMPS
to Exporters to the Colonies, &c., where the coarser descriptions
of Oil only can be obtained. The Lamps will be offered
IN LOTS, FOR SHIPMENT, CONSIDERABLY BELOW
THE ACTUAL COST,
and all the Fittings which may be required, at Wholesale Coat
Prices.
F. L. H. takes the opportunity of stating, that those Persons
who may hitherto have been deterred from visiting his Establish-
ment, by its great extent and the valuable Collection of Goods,
are not aware that, by overcoming this impression (in reality a
prejudice), the result would be most advantageous to them, as
they would find that they could purchase Articles of a better qua-
lity, and at Lower Prices, than at any other Establishment. He
considers it almost superfluous to add, that, whether they make
purchases or otherwise, they will, in every case, be received with
politeness and attention.

mon Congou Tea must now be quoted at 10d. per lb. ;
a few hundred- chests were placed during the day at

TIMBER.-The tonnage employed between Liver-
pool and Canada is shown by the circulars to be
53,425 tons less than last year, and from New
Brunswick and other ports 50,173 tons in excess.
In the aggregate, the tonnage this year is 244,423,
'against 247,675 in 1854, and 235,353 in 1853. The
particulars of import from the Ist February to the
present date are-=Quebec pine, 31,094 logs ; St. John
pine, 26,330 logs; other ports pine, 2,934:; New
Brunswick, &c., deals, 4,042,031 pieces.; Quebec deals,
260,339 pieces. Of Baltic timber there is a very light
stock, and neither arrivals nor sales to report.
WooL.-Rdtler more confidence has been expe-
rienced in the wool market during the past week, and
the public lales in London have also improved within
the last few days ; there is, however, no business of
any moment to report, and prices without alteration.
The imports of the week are-1,270 bales Peruvian,
446 East 'lndia, 89 Californian, 46 Poilugal, 299 Me-
diterranean, 1 German, 36 Scotch, and 17 Irish ; total,
2,204 bales.
MARKETS FOR MANTIFACTURES.
ItancinsrEa.—There has been a more marked improve-
'merit in the tone of the market this week, and a more cheer-
ful confidentleeling than we have been able to report for
-same time past. The actual amount-of business has not been
generally very extensive; but in particular instances, and for
'certain description of goods and yarns, some large transac-
tions have been entered upon. This 'has been more particu-
larly the case as regards India and China exports. The
accounts from India, at the'beginning of the week, were, on
the whole, favourable ; and those from China open up a pros-
pect of greater commercial activity. Under these circum-
stances, a more extended inquiry was experienced, and as the
monetary facilities'have'been greater than for several previous
weeks, the inquiry has not been confined exclusively to fabrics
and yarns for the East, but has been participated in by other
descriptions. Yarns'have been in active request throughout
the week, with aTurther advance in price. For India there
has been a steady inquiry, at gradually hardening prices.
Water yarns for export to China (16's to '24's) have been in
considerable demand,. at an advance of fully -id. per lb. The
German houseslave also been more in the market, and have
had to pay similarly advanced rates. The demand for home
use has been larger, and spinners, backed by the upward move-
ment of •cotton in Liverpool, have demanded and obtained
more money for'both weft and warps. Spinners have been
very firm in their demands of higher prices, to which they
were alike impelled by the demand and the rising value of
cotton. Goods are not' so universally affected as yarns ; never-
theless, the demand for India and China descriptions is also
accompanied by operations in other sorts. Shirtings for
China and long cloths have been in good request at higher
values ; and stocks, which a few weeks ago were becoming
heavy, have been cleared off, and in many instances manufac-
turers have orders on hand which will require several weeks to
complete. With the above exceptions, there is no very great
changein goods. Jacconetts are in pretty good request, and
T cloths have been rather more inquired for, as has also been
the case with respect to some descriptions of printers; which
are, however, for the most part, dull of sale. Domestics are
firm, but it is difficult to realise any advance. Manchester
Courier.
.ROCIEDAIM—A dull and flat market, and the merchants
have, when they have purchased, given a shade less for pieces.
The wool market continues inactive, and prices are rather in
favour of the manufacturer.
HIIDDERSFIELD.—There is no difference to notice hi this
market. Everything has been very flat ; and the few buyers
who have been about have bought nothing but what they
were in immediate want of. Prices are about the same.
LEEDS.—Very dull markets at the Cloth Halls, but not
more so than is usually the case at the close of the season.
Prices without alteration ; and the stocks being low in the
clothiers' hands, the mills continue to be well employed.
Although-there has been a number of buyers in the town this
week, their purchases have been light, and business in the
warehouses has been to a less amount than for some time
past.
BRADFORD.—WOOI : The purchases of wool continue of a
limited character, and the holders offer no inducement to more
active operations. Yarns The -stoppage of spinning ma-
chinery continues to be adopted, for no one can stock spools,
and for reeled yarns there is no one disposed to spin, except
to order, the prices current .offering no inducement to take
any other coarse. Pieces : The merchants buy very sparingly,
merely to assort their stocks, and altogether the trade is very
inanimate.
LEICESTER.—Trade remains much as last reported. No
further decline has taken place in prices of woollen yarns, al-
though the spinners complain of less business doing. They
say the price of wool does not warrant reductions.
NOTTINGIU.SI.—In the lace trade there was a better demand
for most classes of goods. Several American buyers are in
the market giving out their orders, which are, no doubt,
smaller than they would have been, had the market been
easier. The home demand is dull, but not more so than is
usual-at this period. Hosiery : There is a fair business doing
in some branches of the trade, particularly with the American
markets, but others are comparatively quiet. The trade is
believed to be sound in the main, and manufacturers in general
are acting with great judgment and prudence in the conduct
of their business at this crisis.
THEFT BY A 'SERVANT. Yesterday, a young woman
named Sarah Mullie, who had been a servant in the public-
house kept by Mr. Moorcroft, in Commutation-row, was
brought before the Police-court on a charge of stealing a steel
knife-sharpener, the property of her employer, in whose service
she had only been two days. The theft was clearly proved,
and she was sentenced to be imprisoned for fourteen days.
STEALING BLOCK-TIN. A man, whose name did not
transpire., was yesterday charged before J. A. Tobin, Esq., at
the Police-court, with the theft of about 35 lbs. of block-tin,
from the ship Caroline Chisholm, lying in the Prince's Dock.
The tin, which was cast in thin slips, formed part .of the
vessel's tarp, and had been packed in barrels, which were
stowed on board. The prisoner had obtained access to the
ship, and abstracted the quantity he was charged with steal-
ing. The property was found on him as he was leaving the
vessel; and, being an old offender, he was sentenced to be
imprisoned for three months.
Tax LATE ARCHDEACON BROOKS.—The public meeting
having decided on the memorial to the late Venerable Arch-
deacon Brooks taking the form of a marble statue, to be
erected in St. George's-hall, some little interest is excited on
the selection of an artist for the execution of the statue. It
is said that an application has been made to Mr. Gibbon, at
Rome, but the statement is not credited. In the first place,
he has more orders on hand than he can well execute; and
again, he is not happy in portrait statuary, his great forte
being the poetry of his art. Mr. Macßride, of this town, who,
some time since, made an excellent bust of the late Archdeacon,
has recently executed a full-length model, which may be seen
at Mr. Westcott's rooms, in Church-street. The artist is well
known, having succeeded in producing several admirable like-
nesses of Liverpool worthies.
A SAILOR'S SIMPLICITY.—A good-looking though obviously
a simple-minded man, who gave his name as John Tinley,
and said he was a sailor, applied to the sitting magistrate,
at the Police-court, yesterday, under the following circum-
stances. Tinley said he was born at Sevenoaks, in Kent,
but had gone on board ship when he was a mere boy ; had
traded chiefly to the coast of Africa, and had been but very
little in England from his boyhood. A short time since he
arrived in Liverpool, and on Saturday last he was met in St.
John's-lane, by a man named George Hockey, now in custody,
who was dressed as a sailor, and offered to sell Tinley some
bargains, commencing with tobacco. Never doubting that
all sailors were as simple-minded as himself, Tinley struck a
bargain for two lbs. Hockey perceiving that he had a flat to
deal with, requested his customer to go with him and inspect
some other bargains, which the latter accordingly did. On
reaching the place referred to, Hockey showed his dupe a
light-colourede mbroidered crape shawl, which he assured the
simple Tinley was of genuine Chinese manufacture, and dirt
cheap at twelve dollars. The unsuspecting sailor, being
desirous of presenting a young woman, his niece, with some-
thing handsome, thought the shawl in question was the very
article, and after some chaffering he purchased the shawl
for a sovereign. Hockey next showed him some stuff
which he represented as Chinese black satin, the piece
being worth eight dollars. Of this valuable property
Tinley became also the happy purchaser, for his niece, at
another sovereign. Feeling reluctant to part with so good a
customer and so well-disposed an uncle, Hockey once more
essayed the extent of his credulity, and induced him to pur-
chase an elegant gold neck chain worth £ll or more in China ;
and for which the liberal-minded Tinley disbursed a third
sovereign, and picking up his prizes " made sail" for the
dwelling of his niece, a modest and intelligent-looking girl,
who, on being presented with the valuables, expressed her
gratitude; but being shortly afterwards apprized of the prices
paid for them, informed her kinsman that he had been
regularly "done for." Tinley immediately set out in quest
of his "merchant sailor," and falling in with him, taxed him
with the cheat. This the other denied, and offered to refund
the money except 6s. which he alleged he had spent. To the
loss of the 6s. Tinley willingly assented, but the residue not
being forthcoming, while Hockey endeavoured to bear off upon
another tack, he was ultimately given into the hands of the
police ; and the goods for which he had obtained three
sovereigns were pronounced by judges not to be worth es.
Hockey, who was defended by an attorney, averred that the
transactions were bona fide sales. He was remanded for
seven days,

PEACE, OR WARP
ME rumour which was current a short time since
as to- a contemplated coalition tefvFeen--1"-Igsiii.
DISTZAELI, GLADSTONE, and Bamuor, with' the view.
—of-promoting a termination of the war and substituting_
such an unnatural alliance.for the present Ministty,
may be classed amongst the idle speculations to whiCh
general dissatiSfactiOn with the existing state of things
often gives rise. Such a rumour could not be bile, as
far at least as Mr. DISRAELI is concerned, as it is well
known that the Conservatives as a bodx.haN;e 'toe much
regard for the national honour and the trueinterests
of qreat Britain to allow them to be frittered away in
order to gratify a sordid motive 40/ selling more
calico. It has,- however, assumed a new phase; and
Lord Jorcist RussELL is spoken of as the colleague of
the renegade Peelite and the Manchester Quaker, to
agitate for peace at any prica; and, following up the
tactics of the Free Trade movement, a League has been
attempted to be formed with the avowed object of
putting a stop to the war. With the exCeption of
some few who would sacrifice every consideration for
the gratification of the present moment, and imperil
the maintenance of civilisation, so long as they could
save their own paltry contriblion towards the defence
of it, we cannot believe that such an appeal would
meet with a response from the people of England. It
is so utterly pitiful and knavish, such a confession of
self-degradation, that it is alien to the free and manly
spirit which animates our countrymen of all classes.
This truth is so evident, that the plausibility of Mr.
GLADSTONE is brought to bear upon the question, and
the public mind is amused with specious sophistry
in the attempt to show that the object of the war
has been answered with the capture of Sebastopol, that
Turkey has been effectually rescued from the aggres-
sions of Russia, that further- prolongation of the con-
test can serve no other purpose than to humble the
power of Russia, and that we ought not to be regard-
less of the balance of power, to maintain which the
war was undertaken.
Let us admit, for the sake of argument, that' the
destruction of the Russian fleet in the Black Sea and
the demolition of the fortress of Sebastopol were all
that the Allies proposed to themselves to accomplish,
when war was declared against Russia in the begin-
ning of last year, is there any man so insane as to
argue that proposals of peace can come from the con.
querors P Has Russia bated one jot of those preten-
sions with which she commenced the contest, by
sending her armies across the Pruth to take forcible
possession of the provinces of Moldavia and Walla-
chia ? Or has she in any way receded from that
policy which for a century past has made the subju-
gation of Turkey the object of her ambition, as a
preparatory step to universal dominion, which, under
such circumstances, it would be difficult, if not almost
impossible to resist P By now withdrawing from the
contest, or even by taking the initiative in negotiations
for peace, we should be virtually admitting defeat in
the face of victories unparalleled in the history of
warfare. Every advantage over the foe has been
gained by hard blows ; defeated in every encounter, he
is sullenly obdurate in holding on by - the remotest
chance of ultimate success ; and for us now to relax
our exertions, because the dastards of the Peace-party
have no honour nor faith but in finding a market for
their cotton goods, would be virtually to undo all
that has been done, to confess a fear of Russia
prostrate, that we did not feel when she was in the
zenith of her power, and to break for ever that alliance
with our gallant neighbour, which of itself, supposing
it to continue to the end, will prove the salvation of
Europe.
It has been asserted that since the entry of the
Allied forces into the Crimea the war has assumed an
aggressive character, and consequently cannot be
justified upon the principles of justice, which could
alone reconcile it to a Christian people. This is not
true either in faot or in inference. The aggression
Was committed by Russia when her armies crossed
-the Pruth, and were on their way to Constantinople,
had they not been stopped by the valour of the Turks,
at that time unaided. All that has since taken place,
therefore, has been of a defensive character, in order to
secure material guarantees against a repetition of the
outrage ; and no better proof could be afforded of the
ultimate intentions of Russia, and the necessity of
taking every proper precaution against their realisa-
tion, than the' extraordinary defences of enormous
military and naval stores at Sebastopol. It is also
falsely asserted that all this enormous sacrifice
of men and money has been made in • order to save
Turkey from the fangs of her relentless enemy, and
to enable her to maintain her position among the
independent kingdoms of Europe ; and that in con-
sequence the war presented the anomaly of Christian
nations in league for the defence of the infidel. Such
an assumption is taking but a very narrow and super-
ficial view of the question at issue. The independence
of Turkey was but an incident arising from the
circumstance of her being the first object of attack on
the part of Russia, the foremost barrier against- the
encroachments of despotism which threatened to
overwhelm all Europe. It was an onward step in a
danger which has long been impending, and it was
fortunate for the interests of humanity and civilisation
that the Western Powers united to repel the invasion
before it had become too powerful to resist. The .
supineness or folly of previous Governments allowed
Russia to pursue her stealthy course of territorial
acquisition unrestrained and almost unheeded. She
has possessed herself of Poland and Finland, of the
provinces on the northern shores of the Black Sea,
and in every direction, east, south, and west, until her
empire stretches over the greater part of the northern
continent both in Europe and Asia.. She has estab-
lished by diplomatic arts, which have ever been un-
.serupulously used as means to conquest, an influence
in Austria, Prussia, Germany, and even in Greece, '
so that resistance could only be looked for from
England and France, which alone possessed the means
to cope with their mighty antagonist.
Under such circumstances, we have much reason to
he thankful that, not only has the danger been seen
and appreciated, butthat, by a fortuitous combination
of events, the two great Powers of Western Europe
should have entered into a mutual alliance for the
cause of national liberty. If we persevere, there can
be little doubt that the German States, relieved from
their fears, which now make them the dupes and the
victims of Russian policy, will awake into vigorous 1
and independent action; but if we recede tom the
contest, or listen to any other terms than uncon-
ditional surrender, we shall have sunk from our proud
position of national supremacy, destroyed- for a long
time, if not for ever, that prestige which could alone
give weight or influence to Great Britain in the
councils of European nations, and have helped to
forge those fetters upon national liberty which we
shall have rendered more galling by the attempts we
have already made to break them. We have no other,
course to pursue, than to prosecute the war at any
hazard, and at any sacrifice, until Russia has been
compelled to sue for peace. Our national honour,
and even our future existence as one of the great
powers of Europe, depend upon the issue of the,
struggle. We may be called upon to make further
sacrifices, but the issue will be glorious, for it will be
a lasting peace ; whereas, to withdraw at the present
juncture, would be but a hollow truce, to be followed
by consequences far more disastrous.

PEN AND INK PORTRAIT OF SCHANYL.
Imam Schamyl, like Kazi Moollah, was born in the
village of Ghiinry, in the country of the Koissubulins, in
-1797. In stature he is not tall, but of very noble and
handsome proportions. He is not by nature physically
strong, but he has acquired remarkable power and vigour
by every kind of bodily exercise. His head, of a beautiful
and regular shape, his aquiline nose, small mouth, blue
eyes, blond hair and beard, and delicate white skin, seem
to point rather to a Germanic than an Eastern extraction.
His hands and feet are formed with the most beautiful
symmetry ; his mien and every movement are proud and
dignified.
From his childhood Schamyl manifested an iron
character, a calm dignity in his whole demeanour, which
nothing could shake. He courted solitude, and main-
tained a reserve towards every one; at the same time he
studied with ardent zeal under his master, Moollah Djelal
Eddin, to whom he has always been affectionately attached,
and to whom he still shows the deepest veneration and
unreserved filial obedience. Entire days and nights has
he passed in the rocky defiles of his native mountains,
buried in the study of the Koran, the Arabian theosophy,
and the doctrines of Soofism, together with the ancient
Persian heroic legends and songs. He has manifestly
faith in himself, and in his vocation as a prophet sent by
Allah. Whilst gifted with fiery eloquence, his extra-
ordinary talents as a general are unquestioned.
Waning space warns us to desist from further
extract. Those we have already given are suffi-
cient to indicate the extensive field glanced over
in the little work before us, and also to display
its author's style of thought ; for further acquain-
tance with the author and the subject we must
refer our readers to the book itself, in which they
will find much to amuse and no little to instruct
them.
The New Quarterly Review and Digest of Current
Literature. No. XVI. London : Thomas
Bosworth.
The October number of the New Quarterly is
issued under the auspices of a different publisher
from those who stood sponsors for its earlier
career. As heretofore, it starts with a succinct
retrospect of the literature of the preceding
quarter, a task less difficult, and less voluminous
for the three months ending with September,
than for any other three months of the year.
Nuch of the present retrospect, which is short,
is devoted to the " Memoirs and Journals of
Lieutenant Bellot," which it treats in a fair and
approving spirit. The first volume of the great
"literary sphinx " of modern days, " The Noctes
Ambrosianve" of Professor Wilson, forms the

DIOCESE OF CHESTER.
PBEFERMENT.—The Rev. R. W. Wolseley has been licenc
by the Bishop to the Stipendiary Curacy of St. Silas' Church,
Liverpool, upon the nomination of the Rev. Samuel Minton;
the Incumbent.
THE Bishop of Carlisle has given the munificent sum of
£5OO, towards defraying the expense of the restoration of .the.
ancient church of St. Mary, Carlisle.
.HER,3I.-CIESTY'S GOVERICHENT has Consented to the division
of. the diocese of Toronto, Upper Canada, and the necessary
instruments for that purpose are now in the hands of the
authorities at Doctors'•commons. It is intended to erect a
new Episcopal see, the seat-of which will be at Kingston, and
which will comprise several large and important townships in
the eastern division of the present diocese.—Morning Herald.
MAIN& the past week, the Rev. Gerard Mann, rector of
Mawgan, in Cornwall, has died, and a strange fatality appears
to attach to this living. There have been three rectors within
the space of eight years, all cut off by premature and sudden
death. The father of the late incumbent was thrown from his
carriage in the year 1847, and killed on the spot. His successor,
the Rev. Mr. Crockford, a fine healthy-looking young man,
died very suddenly, in 1851, at the age of thirty-six. The late
incumbent, who died a few bays ago after a very short illness,
was only in his thirty-fourth year.—Cornwall Gazette.
Gull:ca.—On St. Bartholomew's Day, the 24th of August,
the Lord Bishop of Guiana held an ordination in the Cathedral
of St. George. Three students of Bishop's College were ad-
mitted to the holy office of Deacons—Robert Hillis, Augustus
S.. Tanner, and Charles Conyers. The event was one of great
interest to the people of Georgetown and to the church, for
they looked anxiously at the first fruits of their new college,
and the students were familiar to them all ; the first two, from
England, having been long under Mr. Webber's care, and
having rendered themselves most useful to him, and beloved
by his people in the parish of which he is curate ; and the
-latter (Mr. Conyers) being the SQII of one of the most influen-
tial citizens in Georgetown. The bishop was attended by a
considerable body of his clergy, and the whole party, after
'Holy Communion, met at Bishop's College for dinner in the
evening. This ordination has incraw3ed the number of clergy
-in the diocese of Guiana to thirty-one; and the day was
happily chosen, for it was the fourteenth anniversary of the
bishop's consecration.

SIDE.
The same correspondent, writing on the same day, says :
All the tents which were sprinkled on the sloping side of
the height on the north side have disappeared. The pyramids
of sacks, and the greater part of the hay, have been moved
further to the eastward towards Inkerman heights, most
probably to ensure their safety from the effects of our fire.
Excepting the parties working at the batteries, scarcely any
one is to be seen moving about. The moving to and fro of
arabas is almost entirely stopped. Further away, to the
north-eastward, there are encampments of white tents, but
they appear considerably diminished in numbers ' compared
with what they used to be during the siege, This appearance,
however, is deceptive—for on examining the position through
a glass, it can be distinguished that the greater part of the
troops are hutted. As these huts, which are partly under-
ground, are of the same colour as the ground around them,
being apparently constructed of wattling and mud, with
thatched roofs of the same materials, they are not readily
distinguished. As to the troops themselves, like our men,
they seem to be having the advantge of a little exercise in
battalion movements, and it is asserted that they have been
seen also engaged at target practice.

THE WAR.
INTELLIGENCE from the seat of war in the Crimea becomes
daily more meagre. Incidents of importance enough to arrest
the attention of the special correspondents of the daily jour-
nals are seemingly of rare occurrence ; and a nearly equal
scarcity of events is characteristic of the official despatches.
"Under these circumstances speculation on probabilities and
retrospection of past occurrences fill to a great extent the still
voluminous accounts furnished by newspaper correspondents.
The Times' special correspondent, writing from the Fourth
Division Camp, on the 25th of October, gives the following
account of an
INTERCHANGE OP CIVILITIES BETWEEN
SOME BRITISH SAILORS AND THE
RUSSIAN AUTHORITIES.
The inhabitants of the little village of Karani (says he),
itnate about midway between Balaklava and the Monastery
of St. George, who had remained tranquil in their habitations
during the whole of the siege of Sebastopel, receiving for a
part, if not for the whole of the time, rations from the allies,
to save them from starvation, expressed a wish, since the fall
of the place, to be transferred to a point of the Crimea occupied
by the Russians. Communications were made to the enemy
and arrangements -made to that effect, and on Saturday last
they were embarked for Kaffa. Prince Victor of Hohenlohe
was in command of the vessel that took them, and was accom-
panied by 3140 r Ross and by some other officers, who went as
amateurs. Hango not being yet forgotten, due precautions
were, of course, taken, and strict formality observed. Off
Kea a Russian officer came on board to arrange about land-
ing the emigrants. He remained to luncheon, and, on its
being intimated by some of the English that they did not ex-
pect to be allowed to land, he thought it possible they might,
and, finally, land they did. No sooner had they got on shore
• than they were surrounded by a crowd, including anamber of
Cossacks, who came down full speed. .Each one of them was
iorthwith elevated upon a high Cossack saddle—rather an
awkward seat for equestrians unaccustomed to such machines
—and away they went at a scamper. Everything
was done Cossack fashion—full gallop. They were taken to
the country-house of Prince Gagarin, about two miles from
shore, and were there courteously received by the Prince him-
self, a man of some 60 years of age, minus a leg, which he
lost when campaigning in the Caucasus, and who went about
on crutches. The Prince spoke French, and told them he
understood English. Chairs and a table were brought out
of the country-house (over which the visitors were shown),
.and wine and fruit were placed before them, whereof they
partook. The conversation was well sustained, and, judging
from the account of it given me by an officer present, almost
cordial. Subjects connected with the war were not altogether
excluded, and incidents of the siege were related. In the
.course of the conversation the Russian officer who had gone
on board said something to Prince Gagarin, in which the
English present distinguished the word " Kinburn." The
Prince replied by a passionate exclamation, unintelligible to
his foreign guests, and presently asked them what was the
latest news. " Nothing from England," was the reply, " but
in the Crimea the attack upon and capture of Kinburn."
The Prince appeared to feel the intelligence painfully, but
merely shrugged his shoulders, and remarked that it was "la
fortune de la guerre." He informed them of rather a curi-
ous fact, which was, that by the great explosion of the French
magazine in the Mamelon, at the end of August, persons in
Sebastopol were killed and wounded. When they returned
on board he sent them a supply of wine and grapes, which
they had expressed a wish to purchase before they knew that
they would be allowed to land, and requested some tea in re-
turn. Tea, cheese, and other things that it was thought
might be acceptable were sent to him, and thus terminated
this friendly little episode of the war. The officers returned
to Balaklava on Tuesday, much pleased with their trip. I
omitted to mention that they were permitted to see and con-
verse with two of the men of the 10th Hussars made prisoners
in the late skirmish at Kertch.
The same correspondent, writing on the 27th, in reference to
the state of feeling in the Camp, and the anticipations as to
future events, says :
Now the excitement caused by the hope of offensive opera
tioni and by the uncertainty in which every one was kept
about his own movements has subsided, and all sanguine ex-
pectations of victories and rewards have sobered down, the
allied camp begins more and more to assume the Character of
a cantonment. As visions of glory arellaid aside for the year,
thoughts of comfort begin to arise in every mind.
Naturally enough, comfort suggests the idea of home ; those
who cannot indulge in this are thinking of making their win-
ter establishment as snug as possible. There seems to be not
much faith in huts, so whoever can contrive it puts up a stone
house, which is the height of ambition of every comfort-seek-
ing individual. There was once a pleasant fancy, which arose
in looking at the white houses of Sebastopol, and theatres,
clubs, and even balls were not thought impossible for this
winter ; but what with our shot and shell, and the bonfire
kindled by the Russians before they left the town, very little
beyond the four smoky and loopholed walls remains of most of
these dwellings, and the difficulty of quartering the army in
the town arises not so much from the fire of the north side—
although that would not have been without its drawbacks
either—but from the circumstance that it would require more
labour to repair those ruins than to make the armies comfort-
able on their old camping ground. But the ruins of Sebasto-
pol, although they are not available for quarters, are rich in
beams, planks, doors, windows, locks, and many other articles
which are eargerly coveted by everyone in the camp, and
especially by those who aspire to stone houses. Here, where
no fixed laws of construction prevail to the detriment of
originality, individual taste has full scope, and it is curious
to see how much more strongly this shows itself in the En-
glish than in any other corps. In the French and Sardinian
amps one pattern, with a few modifications, serves for every-
one, while in the English each man follows his individual
taste, and there are consequently as many different styles of
architecture as there are architects. This variety prevails
not only where individual taste is the lawgiver, but even
where the single regiments ereet works of public utility—for
instance, cook-houses.
The next best accommodation for winter,after the stonehouse,
is considered an underground hut; and whoever has the good
fortune of possessing one from last year trusts to it, and makes
only the necessary repairs, while others are in the course of
excavation. They require less labour and material than the
stone houses, so many who cannot get these latter content
themselves with the more primitive construction. Wooden
huts are the pis oiler.. Only those who cannot afford either
a stone mansion or an underground hut resign themselves to
wait for them. They are, however, late in making their ap-
pearance. Scarcely a single hut has yet been erected, beyond
those which existed last winter, so that many even of the old
regiments have not more than half-a-dozen of them ; in the
regiments which arrived in spring and in summer there are
none at all.
Most of those which have stood since the beginning of this
year have to undergo a thorough repair. The new ones which
are sent out now seem not much better. I saw one the other
day which had been quite recently erected ; all the wood is
cracked and full of crevices, and the knots falling out fast,
leaving circular holes which produce a very pretty effect when
the sun's rays pass through them, but which do not promise
much comfort for the winter.
I have not seen the double-boarded ones erected, but all the
others require sundry contrivances to make them air and
water tight before they will afford much shelter. It is a pretty
gentral opinion that a double tent well excavated would be
much more comfortable. The latter -has the advantage that it
is not so frequently chosen as a sporting ground by rats and
mice, which have increased incredibly since the fall of Sebas-
topol. It was not so much felt when there were plenty of pro-
visions still remaining in their old quarters, but since the
town has begun to be cleared out a grand migration seems to
have taken place in our direction, and cats are at a higher
premium now than ever.
Besides road-making and hutting attention is turned to
getting up provisions to the general storehouse erected behind
the Second Division, as well as to the divisional storehouses,
so that any interruption of the traffic from unforeseen circum-
stances may not have any prejudicial effect on the supplies of
the army. Even the transport mules have a brighter prospect
before them than the few which remain from last year could
have anticipated. There are arrangements made in each divi-
sion for stabling them.
Thus, you see, care for comfort has banished for the moment
all other ideas. This is the case not only in the English
army before Sebastopol, but all along our extended line. From
all we can see, the last directions about the positions which
the allied armies are going to keep during the winter, have
been given, and all the movements going on are rather to re-
gulate the details than with a view of making any material
changes. The position chosen is certainly such that very
little fear can be entertained of any disturbance from the RUS-
gans. Both armies will be opposite to each other on a series
of heights, with only a few accessible points, and separated by
a kind of neutral ground formed in part by the Tchernaya
valley, which, as soon as the rains begin, will be a most effec-
tual barrier to an attack from either side, and on our right by
the low range of hills which form the banks of the Upper
Belbek before it enters the defile near Albaud. The road over
Alan, which, as I told you in my last letter, the French were
constructing to connect their position on the heights of Ozem-
bash with the rest of the line, is progressing rapidly, and will
be available in a short time.
The apprehension of a Russian attack seems to have com-
pletely ceased for the time being, but the troops still turn out
for parade before sunrise. As a great part, principally of the
English army, has to go out every day for fatigue parties, this
is the only parade they ever have, and I suppose it is kept up
more for this than for any other reason.

OFFICIAL DESPATCHES.
A supplement to the London Gazette of Tuesday contains
a despatch from General Simpson, dated Sebastopol, Oct. 23rd.
The chief interest of this despatch is comprised in the follow-
ing extract :
I have reason to believe that the greater portion of the
Turkish Contingent are now assembled at Kertch. No further
intelligence has been received from Kinburn. The health of
the army continues very good. A few cases of cholera have
occurred during the past week, but it is confined entirely to
the new ewers. The despatch refers to the English expe-
dition to 'l7ffilan, and a report from Brigadier-General Spencer
is enclosed, containing an account of the operations of the
force under his command, to October 19, which consisted of
103 officers, 247 sergeants, 86 drummers, 4,224 rank and file,
33 sick, and 120 horses.
(From the Second Supplement to the London Gazette of
Tuesday.)
WAR DEPARTMENT, Nov. 8.
Lord Panmnre has this day received a despatch and its
enclosures, of which the following are copies, addressed to
his Lordship by General Sir James Simpson, G.C.B.
SEBASTOPOL, OCt. 27.
My Lord,—l have the honour to transmit a copy of a letter
I have received from Brigadier-General the Hon. A. Spencer,
informing me of the return of the force under his command
to Kinburn, after having made a short reconnaissance.
As it has been decided that the French will garrison the
fort, the English troops will return here, and I expect them
about the 3rd of November. _ _
I have to report the arrival, on the 25th instant, of a de-
tachment of prisoners to the number of 132, from Odessa,
where the greater part of them arrived on the 24th of
September.
Among them is Lieutenant James, of the Royal Engi-
neers, who was taken on the night of the 2nd of July ; he
has been kept at Riazan, and reports having been very well
treated by the Russians.
The prisoners have been kept at Voronetz, on the D on
and when they left there were only two remaining, who were
sick, and 51 deserters. I transmit the nominal list of
the men. 1
The force from Eupatoria, under the command of Genera
d'Allonville, made a reconnaissance on the 22nd inst. They
fell in with a large force of the enemy, and offered them battle.
The Russians, however, retreated before them after an ex-
change of a few rounds with the horse artillery.
I beg to enclose a copy of the report of Brigadier-General
Lord George Paget, in command of the English cavalry at
that place.
I have the honour to report the departure of all the Turkish
force that was here, for Asia, with the exception of some ar-
tillery, which has been transferred to the Contingent.
The weather continues magnificent, and the health of the
troops all that can be desired. _ _
I have, &c.,
JAMES Simpsow, General= Commanding.
The Lord Panmure, &c. -
(Enclosure 1.)
KINEURN, Oct. 24.
Sir,—l have the honour to report, for the infc:rmation of
the Commander-in-Chief, that the troops under my command,
as per margin,* returned yesterday evening from the recon-
naissance they made in company with the French army.
The force left Kinburn on the 20th instant, bivouacked that
night and the following at the village of Patowff ka (8 miles,)
proceeded thence to the village of Schadoffka, which the allies
burnt. A good many farms, all deserted, and a great quan-
tity of hay were also destroyed.
On our return yesterday about 250 of the enemy's cavalry
menaced our rear.
The troops are very healthy.
At a conference held to-day it has been determined that the
fort of Kinburn is to be occupied for the winter by French
troops, and it is expected that the English troops will embark
for the Crimea on the Ist of November.—l have, &c.,
A. SPENCER, Brigadier-General.
The Military Secretary, Head-quarters, Crimea.
(Enclosure 3.)
EIIPATORIA, Oct. 25.
Sir,—l have the honour to report that the allied troops sta-
tioned here, under the command of General of Division d'Al-
lonville, marched from Eupatoria on Monday morning, the
22nd instant. _ _
The force advanced in two columns, the details of which are
in the margin,* the one taking a northerly direction, and
skirting towards the east of the lake Susik Guiloie, until it ar-
rived at the village of Karagurt ; the other proceeding by the
strip of land between that lake and the sea to the town of Sak.
The Light Cavalry Brigade and troop of Horse Artillery
under my command formed part of the first-mentioned
column, which was commanded by General d'Allonville
We marched at daybreak, and arrived at Karagurt (18
miles) about 4 p.m., when we bivouacked for the night, and
which, before leaving, we destroyed.
When we had advanced within about three miles of this
village we came in presence of a force of about 20 squadrons

effect.
On the morning of the 23rd we proceeded, at daybreak, in
a southerly direction, passing close to the village of Temesch,
where we came in sight of a body of Russian cavalry, consi-
derably superior in numbers to that we had seen the evening
before, a strong force of guns, and, I believe, some battalions
of infantry.
This body also retired before us, at a considerable distance,
while we continued onr advance to the village of Tuzla, on a
rising ground to the left of which village General d'Allon-
ville took up a posiion and offered battle, Captain Thomas's
troop of Horse Artillery firing several rounds with precision,
which were answered by the enemy without effect.
After waiting here for two hours, and seeing that the
enemy were effecting a further retreat, General d'Allonville
formed a junction with the column under Mushir Achmet
Pasha, at the town of Sak, where we bivouacked, destroying
the town and considerable Russian cantonments.
On the 4th instant (yesterday), we returned to Eupatoria by
the sea coast road.
On the first day's march the French cavalry were in front—
the English cavalry in support—the Turkish cavalry on onr
left flank. On the second day the cavalry under my command
were in advance, supported by the French cavalry—the
Turkish cavalry on our left flank.
I have great satisfaction in stating thatrOeneral d'Allon-
vile expressed to me his approval of the manlier in which the
cavalry I have the honour to command manoeuvred in the
field, as, likewise, of the good practice of our Horse Artillery ;
and I may, perhaps, be permitted to express my acknow-
ledgments of the courtesy evinced towards me, and the troops
under my command, by the general, during the time we were
in the field, and since we landed at Eupatoria.
I beg to enclose you a return of casualties,t caused by ex-
haustion, from the want of water, of which there was a very
great scarcity everywhere.
Captain Hamilton, Royal Navy, has requested me to inform
you that the French brig of war Alouette and her Majesty s
ship Diamond co-operated with the troops on this occasion ;
but that he, finding a sailing vessel unhandy on this service,
placed the guns and men of the Diamond on board the steam-
transport Oneida, from which he fired on the flanks, and on
some advanced pickets of the enemy.—l have, &c.,

Cavalry Brigade at Eupatoria.

PIANO-FORTE TUNING.
At the suggestion of many of his Customers, W. R. takes this
mode of intimating, and submitting for approval, a Scale of
Charges for Tuning Piano-fortes by the Year.
That Piano-fortes be Tuned by. a competent rerson, at regular
' intervals is of importance even in the case of an indifferent in-
strument, but it is indispensably requisite where the preservation,
or otherwise, of a really good one is involved.
The frequently-expressed satisfaction of those Ladies who have
done W. R. the honour to try this system, is the best recommen-
dation in its favour.
SCALE OF CHARGES FOR TUNING PIANO-FORTES BY THE YEAR.

Cottage, Picolos, and Squares, each 0 3 G

Mr. E. begs to state that, in producing a really good Daguer-

stances are required, deprived of which the Art sinks to the
insignificance justly belonging to the very many wretched dis-
torted abortions, claiming the name of Photographs, and are to

M. E.'s long practice in the above Art has resulted in the pro-

from the Sandon Dock to the Bell Buoy and back. The work-
ing of the engines, &c. was highly satisfactory.

the only damage sustained was confined to an old sofa.
THE sth regiment of Royal Lancashire. Militia, now in •
camp at Aldershott, has been so much redueed, in consequence
of the number of volunteers from it into the line, that infor-
mation was received in Burnley of the speedy return of Cap-
tain Fenton and other officers, with the band of the regiment,
for the purpose of recruiting. Since then the order has been
countermanded, and the regiment is now expecting to pro-
ceed to Dublin. 200 of the volunteers arrived at Cork last
week.
A LIVE RACCOON IN A. BA-LE OF TOBACCO.—Tho Cus-
tom-house officers were one day last week unpacking a bale of
tobacco, in the bonded warehouse, Liverpool, when, on re-
moving the outer covering of raw ox hide, they found a rac-
coon, thin, indeed, to emaciation, but still alive. It had
existed, probably for months, by nibbling at the raw ox hide,
which thus at once became its food and prison-house. It has
since been allowed more generous fare, and is rapidly recover-
ing from the effects of its long and hungry confinement.
THE Committee of the Liverpool Governesses' Institution

this was the third case of sudden death which had come be-
fore the court. M`Cann, who was formerly a seaman, was
living with a female some three or four years ago in the
above house, and she was found suffocated in the privy. A
young woman who appeared at the time as a witness subse-
quently became his wife, and died -suddenly from the course
of life she led ; and a witness at the present inquest, who
appeared with a bruised face, had since that period lived with
him as mistress. "

RECTORAL BURIAL Fims.—ln the Court of ' Queen's
Bench, on Saturday, Mr. H. Hill applied for a rule calling on
the auditor of the West and North Lancashire district to
show cause why a certiorari should not issue to remove into
this court certain disallowances and surcharges made by him,
that they might be quashed. Mr. Campbell, the rector of
Liverpool, claimed certain burial fees, which were paid to him
by the vestry, but were disallowed by the auditor, on the
ground that the scale under which they had been paid, and
which had been made by the commissioners, was not autho-
rised by the 10th George IV., e. 11. The application was
made to obtain the opinion of the Court upon the construc-
tion of the clause.—The Court:granted the rule.

AUSTRALIAN EMIGRATION.—Baines and Co.'s " Black
Ball" clipper Ocean Chief, Capt. Tobin, sailed for Melbourne
on Tuesday, with the mails of the sth of this month. She
had a very heavy cargo, and 276 adult passengers. The next
mail will be dispatched -on the 21st of November, by Messrs.
Pilkington and Wilson's splendid ship Mermaid, Captain
Devey. The mail ship .of the sth of December will be the
Marco Polo, which is rapidly filling with passengers, principally
for carded ; and the mail of the 20th December will be
forwarded by the Earl of Sefton. The " Black Ball" ship
Oliver Lang was to leave Melbourne, with the mails for Liver-
pool, on the 21st of August, and is, therefore, in her eightieth
day out. The Surprise is in her eighty-first day out; but the
Ballarat having brought news up to the day before the Oliver
Lang sailed, we do not expect much later intelligence until the
arrival of the White Star, which was to leave Melbourne on
the 30th of August ; and, allowing her eighty days to make
the passage home in, -she may be looked for on the 20th of
November. The Kent• was appointed to leave for London on
the Bth of September, and may, therefore, be looked for about
the end of the month.
Does COMMITEE.—Mr. Charles Turner presided at the
weekly meeting on Thursday. The other memhers present
were Messrs. Shand, Rankin, Rounthwaite, Hubback, Langs.
dale, Mondel, Barber,-J. Holme, Greg
and Robinson, Lockett,
and Holden. A communication was read fromade to the m Messrs. Allen
and Gillespie, in reference to the complaints com-
mittee last week by Messrs. Jacot and Tipper, and applying
for a permanent berth for a new line of screw-steamers which
it is in contemplation to establish in the spring of next year.
Referred to the Harbour Masters' Committee. A letter was
received from Mr. T. A. Miall, landing-waiter, stating that on
the sth of September-last, whilst he was returning from the
lluskisson Dock, he met with a very severe accident at the
drawbridge, in consequence of the gorge chains not being up,
having fallen between•the bridge and the pier, a distance of
12 feet, upon the granite pavement. Under these circumstances
he made application to the committee that the expenses to
which he had been put by the accident be defrayed by them.
The Chairman said the matter had been investigated by the
Harbour Masters' Committee, and they found that the man
declared that he had put up the chain. The chain must have
been unhooked by some one out of mischief. The secretary
was instructed to write to Mr. Miall, on behalf of the com-
mittee, regretting the accident, and stating that they had in-
quired into the circumstances, and found that the chain was
put up by their servant. A memorial was read from twelve
master pilots, in reference to Mr. Garniss having given evi-
dence before the Recorder, at the sessions, in a case of colli-
sion, in a case in which Joseph Corkwell was implicated, and
calling for an, explanation. The Chairman stated Mr. Garniss
was summoned to appear, and could not disobey. He had sent
a letter to the committee in reference to the subject, which
would be transmitted to the master pilots.
LIABILITY OF RAILWAY COMPA.NIES.—In the County
Court, on Thursday, Mr. T. S. Raffles presided in the absence
of the judge, Mr. Pollock. An action, Wignall v. the London
and North Western Railway Company, was tried, which in-
volved a question of considerable importance as regards the
liability of railway companies. The plaintiff was a commercial
traveller who, in May last, being about to travel by the Lon-
don and North Western Railway, came to the Lime-street
station, shprtly before the starting of the nine o'clock night
train. The booking-office was not open when he arrived there,
and as he wanted to get some refreshment, he gave his lug-
gage to a porter, who placed it in a carriage, and who told him
he might leave it there, as it would be perfectly safe. Upon
this assurance he left the luggage there and went into the
refreshment room, where he remained about ten minutes.
Upon coming out he found that -his desk was gone. The
train w•
as actually then moving off, and as the desk could not
be found, he was obliged to get his ticket and leave in the
train at once. The desk was not recovered, and as it contained
a number of private documents useful to him in his business
and otherwise, he claimed to recovercompensation. The corn-
pany offered to pay him £3 10s., the actual value of the desk,
but denied any further liability- On behalf of the defence the
law agent of the company contended that there was no lia-
bility, inasmuch as the desk was lost before the plaintiff had
taken his ticket, and therefore before any •contract was made ;
and also that the documents contained in the desk were not
personal luggage, and did not come under the character of
articles to which the liability of the company extended. This
Litter point was that which was most strongly urged on behalf
of the defence, and upon which the company •more especially
desired to have the judgment of the court.—Mr. Raffles stated
that he would take time to consider the case and :consult with
Mr. Pollock. The judgment will be delivered •on Tuesday
next.
SINGULAR ROBBERY BY 'A SERVANT.—At the Police-court,
on Thursday, Elizabeth Sparks, her mother, Jane Sparks, and
her sister, Mary Sparks, were brought up under the following
remarkable circumstances. Elizabeth, a stout, strong-looking
girl, lived as servant with Mrs. Wilson, wife of Capt. Wilson,
who is at present on his voyage home. A few evenings ago,
Mrs. Wilson left her house, No. 77, Iluskisson-street, taking
her two children to pay a friendly visit, and leaving the girl
in charge of the house.. On Mrs. Wilson's, return, about ten
o'clock, the back doors were found open, the house in great
confusion, and the girl lying stretched on the sofa in the sitting
room, apparently suffering from the effects of a drug, as well
as from some personal violence, her hair being dishevelled, a
slight bruise being on her face, from which blood flowed, and
the front of her dress being a little torn. On being well
shaken the servant seemed to recover her consciousness, and
muttered :—"'Let me alone, and I won't make a _noise !"
Shortly afterwards she made a statement to the following
effect :—A strange woman came to the door, who seized her,
threw her down upon a sofa in the parlour, and forced some
liquid down her throat. She quickly became insensible, and
knew nothing more. On being discovered by her mistress,
the girl was taken to the Dispensary, with a view of giving
her an antidote to the pernicious drug, though what that drug
was has not been discovered; and she does not appear to have
suffered any material injury, either externally or. internally.
On examining the house, it was found that every article of
value had been stolen, including gold rings, silver dessert
service, articles of clothing, and two small boxes containing
two £5 Bank of England notes, the whole amounting to
about £5O in value. A reward of £5 being offered for the
discovery of the thieves, Detective-officers Povey and Cozens
succeeded in tracing the whole of the missing property to the
possession of the servant girl's mother and sister, their sus-
picions having been drawn in that direction by Ole extraor-
dinary nature of the case, and by the fact that the mother had
been previously convicted for felony. The prisoners were com-
mitted for trial.

ANOTHER CURE OF CONSUMPCIVK COUGH.
Extract of a letter from Mr.. Thomas Dean, 15D,. Scotland-road,
Liverpool.
Gentlemen.--I have great pleasure in communicating to you
a case (among many) which came under my ow.n observation. A
lady, who I can refer to, in her assidious attendance upon her
husband during a long and fatal illness, caught cold, and not
having taken care of herself, it settled upon her lungs. She
was troubled with a dreadful cough, and every symptom of
consumption. She applied to her medical man, but did not
obtain any relief; when, upon the recommendation of a friend,
she tried Dr. Locock's Wafers, which, from the commencement,
eased her cough, and by continuing them she is_perfectly cured.
(Signed) THOMAS DEAN.
ANOTHER CURE OF COUGH AND HOARSENESS.
Parliament-street, Liverpool.
Sir,—lt is with much pleasure I bear testimony to the extraor-
dinary, powers of Locock's Wafers, I bad been troubled with a
cough and hoarseness for nearly two years, without relief, when I
was induced to try Locock'a Wafers, the effects of which were
soon visible, for one large box (2s, 9d.) has quite cured me. I
have since recommended them to several of my friends, and they

Gentlemen,—Having frequently suffered much from relaxation
of the throat, I have often been obliged to resort to various pre-
parations; but since I have had the good fortune to try Dr.
Locock's Pulmonic Wafers, I am now but seldom obliged to re-
sort to them, for the extrordinary good effects they have produced
are most surprising. Even when the throat appears to be com-
pletely exhausted, and the voice to be nearly gone, two or three
(at most four) will, in the short space of half an hour or so, com-
pletely restore its flexibility and power, and they do not act as a
mere temporary exciting remedy, 111./1 do tlacy !rave any iabsttude
after. Having felt the great value of the remedy, I feel it a duty
to generally recommend it, as I am convinced that all persons
will find immense benefit from the general and persevering use of
it. EDWARD PAGE.
To SINGERS and PUBLIC SPEAKERS they are invaluable, as in
a few hours they remove all hoarseness, and increase the power
and flexibility of the voice. They have a pleasant taste.
Price Is. Id., 2s, 9d., and 11s. per box. Sold by all Medicine

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
NAPLES.
M. Lacour, French ambassador at Naples, is recalled.
M. Brennier takes his place.
The Neapolitan government still persuade the King that
he is threatened with invasion. M. Mazza has not left Naples
as expected. The French ambassador has received a note of
apology from the Neapolitan government, for the insult offered
to the French flag at Messina, though the people about the
court deny this statement.
The King is trying to make himself popular, and very often
appears amongst and mingles with the people, both at Portici
and the Favorita. Prince Demidoff is here. They say he is
on a money-hunting expedition.

AGRICULTURE.
SALTING HAY.—In consequence oT the present sea- 1
son having been so unpropitious for saving hay, much 1
of that crop is damaged to a great extent, having lost
both colour and quality. In stacking, therefore, let
every farmer use salt, at the rate of 1 in 20 (or one
cwt. to each ton) as an average ; but the more damaged
hay would requife more, and, vice versa. Salt ill
absorb that disagreeable dust that is always in badly
saved hay. It is very wholesome for every description
of stock ; and you may depend that if much care is not
taken, the quality of this year's hay will tell on the
condition of the farmer's stock next spring. Common
coarse table salt is that most generally used. English
salt is cheaper than Irish salt, because the latter is
purer than the former.—Farmer's Gazette.
AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION.—At the annual meet-
ing of the Crewkerne Society, the Bishop of Bath and
Wells enumerated some of the advantages of an allot-
ment ; among others, its affordinc, a pleasing pursuit
after the labours of the day, the delight which the
cultivation of vegetables was sure to bring, and the
result of the attachment to his allotment which the
cottager generally felt, drawing him away, as it did,
from injurious pursuits and immoral recreation, and
giving him a stake in the country. A well-kept al-
lotment was the index to the habits and tastes of its
owner. The same feelings which prompted him to
keep it clean and free from weeds would operate upon
his domestic tastes • he would like also to see his cot-
tage clean and cheerful, his children orderly and
happy, and his pig, if he keep one, well looked after.
He also treated his children, in a moral sense, on the
same principles as he did his garden, knowinc, that if
not trained to morality their minds would be choked
with noxious weeds. He took care that they attended
regularly at school and church, and that he never went
himself to the beerhouse. The beerhouse was the bane
of England. It was that which filled our workhouses
and goals, and brought to ruin those who haunted it.
Even, to,make the best of the beerhouse haunter, he
was a cruelly selfish being, for he spent in his own in-
dulgence the means which ought to go to the support
of his own family ; and, not content with this, he too
often reeled home to maltreat the wife whom he had
so solemnly sworn to protect, and the children so prone
in after life to follow his pernicious example. Some
remarks had been made in the report upon the impor-
tant subject of education. He, for one, was inclined
to carry it out much further than by many was thought
either necessary or prudent. The time was coming
when machinery would be employed in agriculture to
a much greater extent than now, and when, therefore,
the labourers who worked it must obviously be intelli-
gent and skilful. But what sort of preparation for
such labour were the: children of labourers but too
generally undergoing ? Why, while still a child,
having learnt hardly anything whatever, a boy was

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 i j 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. he constant fluctua-
tions of the street supply, and in its action is entirely independent
of the number of buyners 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.

CORN.
LIVERPOOL, Nov. 9.—We had not a numerous attendance
of the trace at market to-day, and very few buyers appeared from
the country ; holders of wheat were, however, very firm in
demanding an advance on Tuesday's rates of 2d to 3d, which
materially checked transactions, and sales were practicable to a
moderate extent only at an improvement, pretty generally, of Id
to 2d per bushel. In consequence of the farmers being occupied
in sowing, there was only a small attendance this morning; few
samples were shown, but a better demand was predominant, and
we quote lls 10d to 12s as the top price of fine white country
wheats. On barrel flour an advance is realised of 6d, and on
Spanish fully Is ; Irish flour moves more freely, but can scarcely
be called dearer. The market is nearly cleared of barley at 2d
over late rates. In beans no change. Oats of prime quality are
not improved in value, but secondary samples sell more readily
at rather more money, and oatmeal is in improving request at
very full prices. We have not much Indian corn offering, a fair
quantity has found buyers at is to is fid per quarter advance,
mixed American bringing 46s to 46s 6d, one parcel of very prime
yellow 47s per 4SOlbs ; there is no white here, but 50s would be
paid.

MANCHESTER, Nov. B.—A firm but very slow market.
Wheat 3d to 4d per bushel higher, and flour Is to Is 6d per sack.
arle was also 3d per bushel dearer, and Indian corn 2s per
quarter; but no material alteration was observable in the value
of oats, oatmeal, or beans.
PRESTON. Nov. 10.—There was a fair supply of English wheat
at this market to-day, which met a free sale at Is. per windle
advance. Irish as well as foreign commanded 3,1. per bushel over
the last currency. Flour the turn dearer. Beans as before.
Oats in fair request at Id per bushel more money. Oatmeal held
for an improvement of 6d. per load.
WAKEFIELD, Nov. o.—Wheat Is to 2s dearer than last
Friday, but there was a fair and healthy business done. Barley
and beans rather dearer. In other articles there was no change.
WISBECH, Nov. 10.—The supply of wheat is again only
moderate. The best parcels are taken off at an advance of 2s.
per quarter, particular samdles are 35., but a great deal shown to-
day is in very poor condition. Oats and beans are still very
scarce. Peas unaltered.
NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, Nov. 10.—At to-day's market
there was a large supply of country wheat, a great deal of it in
very bad condition, the demand for such was slow, but fine
samples supported Tuesday's prices, which is from is to 2s over
last Saturday's rates—almost nothing has been doing in south
country and old foreign, fine yellow Norfolk being held at 89s,
foreign old at from 89s to 928 according to quality. Malting
barley meets with fair inquiry and prices rather dearer, fine
Norfolk 44s to 455, foreign grinding 41s to 42s per quarter. Beans
and peas without alteration. There was a good show of oats
from farmers, slow sale, and prices rather lower.
CORK, Nov. 10.—The flour market has a strong feel, and the
advance demanded last week has been established with free sales.
Foreign wheats are a poor assortment and very dear. Indian
corn is accumulating in store to a large bulk; holders are confi-
dent of high prices, and many parcels:change hands amongst
speculative dealers. The consumption is very moderate.
DUBLIN, Nov. 9.—We had a small supply, and a very excited
market at our Corn Exchange to-day. Wheat must be quoted Is
to 2s, barley 6d to 9d, and oats 3d to 6tl dearer than on Tuesday.
Indian corn was taken in small quantities at an advance of 6d
per quarter.

EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS.
The correspondent of the Daily News writes under date of
the 23rd ult., that on the 21st an extensive exchange of pri-
soners was effected at Odessa. In addition to the mate,
boatswain, and two sailors of her Majesty's gunboat Wrangler,
who were surprised and taken a few weeks ago at Yenikale,
the Russians delivered up over one hundred and thirty-two
others English, and two hundred and eighty Turks, the latter
captured at various periods within the last two years in Asia
and on the Danube. The ceremony is described as follows :
About ten, a.m., on Sunday, Captain Methuen, accompanied
as before, and bearing with him his prisoners, rowed ashore,
and was received at the lauding-pier in the Quarantine by
General Krusenstern, commandant of Odessa • Lieutenant-
Colonel Prince Mestschevsky, aide-de-camp to 'Count Strog-
anoff, the governor-general of Bessarabia ; and the chief of
police, with a numerous staff of attendant officers. As it was
necessary that the documents connected with the exchange
should be signed by Count Stroganoff, an orderly was
despatched to his excellency, who resides in a country house
on the outskirts of the town ; but, in the meantime, the
count himself came in, and was present during the remainder
of the proceedings attending the embarkation. In the
Course of the conversation at this interview, the com-
mandant of Odessa put several incidental questions about
the recent capture of Kinburn, and, amongst others, in-
quired if any of our (English) floating batteries had been pre-
sent. On receiving an answer in the negative—the French
being the only ones —he replied, in a tone that gave additional
force to the expression of his uncomplim„entary estimate of
our allies' courage in naval operations, Il ne faut pas de
grand courage pour un equipage cache' —alluding to the
shot-proof construction of the batteries. He further inquired
the names of the two admirals, and was informed that, in
consequence of his recent promotion, M. Bruat, being senior
in rank, commanded in chief ; on which the general, turning
to one of the others present, remarked in German, " Ist es
Moglich !" (Is it possible !) In the meantime the liberated
prisoners were being taken on board a small Odessan steamer,
and conveyed to the Colombo, in the roads, at the end of

which operation Captain Methuen and his par'„y returned on
board their ship, pleased with the courtesy taey had received,
all the prisoners—who seem to belong to every grade and rank
—speak in terms of high eulogy of tte liberality and general
kindness with which they were everywhere treated. Even the
Turks, who, of course, fared worse, admit they were well lodged,
fed, and clothed. After having been variously scattered
about, the whole were collected into one depot at Voronetz, a
considerable town about -300 miles S.E. of Moscow. More
than one Voronetz " Miss Nightingale" ministered with all
woman's assiduity and tenderness to those who needed more
than common care. About a month before their departure for
Odessa, a party of about fifty English deserters arrived at the
former town. These deserters were, of course, universally
" cut" by the prisoners ; nor did they receive any of the kind-
ness so liberally bestowed upon the latter by the townspeople;
and to resent this, the scoundrels availed themselves of every
opportunity to abuse and otherwise annoy the captives.
There was, however, amongst them one remarkable exception,
whose case excited the merited pity of the prisoners, and which
deserves mention in print. The poor fellow had been a
colour-sergeant in the 79th Regiment, and had been led to '
commit the rash act of desertion by having lost the regiment's
money,during a fit of drunkenness,at Balaklava,whither be had
been sent by his colonel to receive it from the commissariat.
Dreading the consequences of his misconduct, and fearing that
he would be charged with stealing the lost cash, and punished
accordingly, the poor man deserted under cover of the dark-
ness to Sebastopol, whence, after a short stay, he was sent on
into the interior. His wife and children are in London, and
the unfortunate fellow was pining away in broken-hearted-
ness for the rash act which he had committed, separating him
for ever from them as it did, and consigning him to deeply-
felt disgrace and wretchedness. In pity for the unhappy
man's contrition and misery, the prisoners invited him to
share in their games and other amusements ; but no effort
could induce him to mix with any of them, or abate his self-re-
proaches. Shortly before the prisoners left Voronetz, the
Russian authorities offered to the whole of the deserters
liberty to return, if they chose, but all—with one exception,
who declared he would rather go and be shot by his country-
men than remain as he was—declined availing themselves of
the permission. The poor sergeant was strongly urged by the
prisoners to accompany them, encouraging him to hope that
his case would be mercifully considered ; but the wretched
man's sense of the deep disgrace he had brought upon himself
would not let him yield to their urgent advice.
THE ENGLISH CAVALRY.
Writing on the 27th, the correspondent of the Times says :
The day before yesterday the anniversary of the battle of
Balaklava was celebrated by the English cavalry by a grand
parade and manoeuvre on the very spot where the heavy ca-
valry charge took place. The display was, like the battle last
year, favoured by the most beautiful weather, of which we
have now had a run of nearly a week. Numbers of English,
not a few French, and some Sardinian officers, were present.
After having witnessed the reduced state in which the cavalry
was last winter, when the horses had sunk to the rank of
half-starved cab-horses, it was satisfactory to see the regiments
finer than ever. Notwithstanding the numerous recruits and
remounts, the evolutions were excellent. Although the whole
Light Brigade is away in Eupatoria, the two remaining ones,
the Hussar and Heavy Brigade, present a most imposing
array. As, however, there remains nothing to do for them
this year, measures ought to be speedily taken to keep them
in condition for the next. Lieutenant-Colonel Clarke, of the
Scots Greys, was sent down some time ago to provide for stables
and barracks in the neighbourhood of Constantinople, and
Mr. Lee, C.E., is actually busy providing both. In the be-
ginning there seems to have been an idea of sending down the
Horse Artillery as well as the cavalry, but this seems to be
given up, as stables are being constructed for the former here.
The place chosen for the main part of the stables is at Hayder
Pasha, behind Scutari ; but several other places on the coast,
as Ismid and others, have been inspected for the purpose.
The palace of Hayder Pasha will be appropriated as a barrack
for the men, and the harem as quarters for the officers. The
order has already come out for the horses of absent officers
to be sent down by the Himalaya, which will likewise take all
the sick horses. She has brought in the Sardinian drafts, and
will now be appropriated for the transport of cavalry horses.
STATE OF THE TOWN OF SEBASTOPOL.
Upon the present state of the south side of Sebastopol, the
correspondent of the Daily News, writing on the 26th ult.,
says :
The working parties on the north side of the roadstead,
immediately opposite the town and suburbs of Sebastopol,
have continued to be actively employed in strengthening the
defences, and the number of guns mounted in the cliff earth-
work batteries and shore forts would appear to be increased,
if we may judge from the greater frequency and weight of
fire directed against the south side during the last few days.
The enemy have added rockets to the list of projectiles with
which they have favoured us; they have fallen chiefly in the
neigbourhood of the white buildings in the Karabelnaia, and
have been sent with the object of burning those portions
which have escaped fire hitherto. The design has not suc-
ceeded. The shot and shell—howitzer shells for the most
part, though on Fort Constantine two mortars have been
lately added to the large solitary mortar which was previously
used—have been discharged in greatest number into the town
proper, on the west side of the south harbour. On the 23rd
instant a couple of houses were set on fire in rear of Fort
Nicholas, near its east ends, not far from the old landing-
place, by shell, which was directed against the French mortar
battery in this situation. They had escaped, as well as a con-
siderable group of out-houses, stores, and stables iu their
neighbourhood attached to Fort Nicholas, the general confla-
gration when the Russians gave up the town to destruction
on the 9th of September ; and strange enough the fire which
raged along the vaulted corridors of Fort Nicholas itself, and
utterly consumed everything combustible for upwards of two-
thirds of its distance, commencing from: the west end, had
also suddenly stopped, and spared the interiorof the east end of the
building. Had it not done so it would have reached a chgm-
ber in which a large quantity of gunpowder, fusees, and in-
flammable materials have been heaped together, and this end
of the fort and the neighbouring buildings would in all proba-
bility have been levelled to the ground. As seen from a dis-
tance, even a comparatively short distance, such as the Redan,
or Malakhoff hills for example, the appearance of the town of
Sebastopol by no means indicates its utter state of ruin. The
stone walls remain upright, and many of the larger and more
solidly-constructed buildings retain their entire form and outline.
The roofs of many houses stillexist, and the roofless condition of
many others is not visible, as street rises above street up the
sloping declivities of the hilly ground. The general white
surface of the limestone prevents the smashes and displace-
ments in the fronts and sides of the houses from being
noticed; and thus a stranger, limiting his observation to
these points of view, would depart with a very erroneous
notion of the real state of the town. The Russians seem
determined that even this deceptive appearance shall not be
suffered to remain, They scatter shells at random in various
parts, and now, at all hours of the day and night, may
be heard, quickly following the loud report of the gun on the
north side and the " whish" of 'the missile across the road-
stead, not merely the sharp explosive bang of the bursting
shell as heretofore among the earthworks, but also, as ac-
companiments, the crash of falling rafters and tumbling stone
walls. Never was town so belaboured : after eleven months
of battering by its enemies, and the subsequent ordeal of fire
and explosion, to be thus in turn battered by its former
friends. The fire of the north side has not been limited to
the west side of the south harbour, although that has had its
chief share. It has also been rather heavy about the dock-
yard buildings near Fort Paul, where the Russians appear to
think we have some works, and also towards Careening Bay,
in which direction the French have a battery erected. The
casualties have been remarkably limited iu number, but the
escapes in some instances have been close enough to point
out the necessity of constant caution not to attract the notice
of the enemy. On the 24th instant the arrangements of a
French picket were abruptly disturbed by a shell falling
through the roof of the house in which they had taken up
their temporary abode, not far from the aqueduct as it ap-
proaches the dockyard ; and as another shell quickly followed,
and fell near the same spot, it is not unlikely that this was a
hint that the party had been observed. The few men who
were in the house at the time the shell penetrated the roof
had time to escape before its explosion, and no one was hurt.
Parties sent from the camp to collect wood are invariably
kept out of sight as mach as possible. Some rifle balls have
been sent across against our men on duty along the shore,
and keeping watch against an approach of the enemy ; but
they have generally fallen short, and been seen to splash
harmlessly the water of the roadstead. We are again com-
mencing a battery, but it may be prudent not to indicate too
particularly its situation, as the work is but very little ad-
vaned as yet.

PROFESSOR WILSON.
In all respects Wilson was a notability. Cast in the
same mould, if not of the same material nor with the
same sympathies, as John Knox ; a thorough Northman
in type, with clear, honest, penetrating eyes, mane-like
hair, curling a foot or two down his back, Atlantean
shoulders, a head and a brow Olympian in its amplitude,
and a foot and a tread like Lycurgus, he might have sat
for the portrait of the surly king delineated by Chaucer :
He looked a lion, with a gloomy stare,
And o'er his eye-brows hung his matted hair:
Big-boned and large of limb, with sinews strong,
Broad-shouldered, and his arms were round and long.
The country people in the Lake district used to name
him Adam, from the solidity and the stateliness of his
build. If he had been born in Greece, he would have
led a colony, or inspired a poem ; had he been shipwrecked
in the Bay of Islands, he would have been elected to the
honours of feathers and paint ; in Mexico, he would have
been a Filibuster ; and in Java, he might have corn.,
peted in popularity with the Rajah of Sarawak. That he
was not eminent in travel is not intelligible ; he had a
passion for it, and had projected an African expedition.
As it was, he was the best wrestler ; the best runner ; the
best swimmer ; the best oarsman of the district. He had
a liking for all out-door sports, and within five years of
his death, in spite of rheumatim, had achieved exploits
with his rod.
The other papers in the number are of the
average quality with those which have formed the
staple of its contents, since it first looked upon
the sunshine. The chief merit of the New
Quarterly, and no small merit it is, consists in
the fact of its being a sort of catalogue raisonne
of the literature of the preceding quarter.
The Christian Family Advocate. Edinburgh :
Murray and Stuart.
This periodical is one which, from its inno-
cence of execution, and the generality of good in-
tention manifested throughout its pages, we do
not feel called on, in ordinary circumstances, to
visit with a lengthened commentary. On the
present occasion, however, we are tempted to de-
viate from the usual course, and with regret feel
called upon
,to speak in terms the reverse of
complimentary. For a considerable number of
months past, the editress of this periodical has
treated her readers to a series of papers on Eng-
lish Composition, not very remarkable for any-
thing, unless, indeed, the entire originality of
some of the views, and the singular oddity of
their illustration, be taken as worthy of observa-

A FRENCH CAMP ON THE DANUBE.
VIENNA, Thursday.
The Austrian Gazette states authoritatively that a French
camp of 50,000 men will be formed at Silistria.
Large quantities of provisions and building materials are
collected on the spot.
PEACE AND WAR.
BERLIN, Thursday Evening.
The peace party here now say that Prussia being objection-
able to the Western Powers, Bavaria and Saxony have assumed
the office of mediators between Russia and her enemies.
The late visit of Count Von der Pfordten and the Baron de
Beust to Paris was to further negotiations. Their proposi-
tions were not rejected by the Emperor of the French.
The fear of Sweden acceding to the Western Alliance is re-
ported to have had considerable effect on the Russian tone.
By way of Vienna we have news from Erzeroum to the 12th
ult.
A small convoy of supplies sent from thence had reached
Kars.
A division advancing to reinforce the Russians had been
countermanded, and ordered to watch the movements of Omar
Pasha.
TURKEY.
Accounts from Constantinople of the 29th ult. state that
winter quarters were being prepared in that city for a numer-
ous body of cavalry.
THE WAR IN ASIA.
TREBIZONDE, Oct. 20.
The Russians have marched 12,000 men from Kars on
Ardelman.
Selim Pasha is appointed Commander of Kars.
The Duke of Newcastle has arrived in Circassia.
Omar Pasha, who left Batoum with twenty-two battalions,
may penetrate as far as Tiflis before winter.
Georgia is now only occupied by 10,000 Russians.

MONDAY MORNING.

The
_recurrent disrciption of Cabinet arrangements, it de-.
hghtful tVenow.ihat in at .110 onoian4'ithatthe highest
department of the State—social tranquillity remains un-
broken, and domestic peace sheds its beneficent influence
around. In the sylvan retreats and regal halls pf Windsor,
our gracious.liQYZßEV:ix.-11114PS.14—lastIMILlias„ been,
sharing the hosPitalities of dOtnestic life witlfei numerous
array of noble and illustrious guests. Friday was the four-
teenth anniversary .of the,.hirthaday itrince.af.
and the auspicious occurrence was celebrated more in accord-
ance with the simplicity which-,.characterises the dogrestic
arrangements of the Royal houiehold, than to many Observers
might seem befitting the ,celebration of such an event, in
connexion with the heir-apparent of so great a throne. - The
day was ushered in by the ringing of, merry peals
_ppon
the bells', of the Chapel ROyal, of Si: George, IRK St.
JOhn's Church, and the evening closed with a -juvenile ball,
held in the Red Drawing-room, in honoUr of the occasion:
Not less ,pleasing is it to learn that the usual paStithos for
the entertainment of the Royal Family, which were in it kreat
degree,
,suspended or withdrawn last year, on account Of the
serious losses incurred in the Crithea, are about to he re-
sumed: The theatrical performandes at Windsor, which were
the sources of so muck gratification, but which were discon.
tinued last year, from the cause referred to, have been ordered
-to be revived, the first performance of the season taking place '
on the evening of Thursday week. HER MAJESTY is about to
receive the visit Of her august Ally, VICTOR EMANUEL, King
of SARDINIA, who is to leave Turin on the 20th of this, and,.
• •
journeying by Paris, will arrive in England at the beginning
of next month. This visit is already very popular by antici-
pation, and, considering the independent and spirited man-
ner in which, disconnecting himself from the trammels of.
Austro-German thraldom, be has thrown his fortunes in with
the Western Powers, and joined their alliance against
Russia, this is not matter for surprise. His reception will
be in all respects such as befits a great and loyal people to
'-bestow on the guest of its Sovereign, augmented, in his case,
by a sense of his gallant conduct. As if wonders were never
to cease, we of the secluded- isle are also, it seems, to be ho-
noured with a visit of the SULTAN. Such an intention on the
part of His Majesty has been for some time currently rumoured
in the diplomatic circles of Constantinople, and the. report,
"with many added circumstances," has now obtained currency
among the quid nuncs of London society. This visit, it is
said, will take place early in the spring of next year. These
expected visits, and their courtly concomitants, afford ample
scope for conversation, and furnish no trivial amount of stimu-
lus for the gossip-mongers and retailers of court scandal. To,
those who see in every footstep of a monarch the incipient
form of a great state manceuvre, they are yet more prolific in
anticipated results. With this latter, as with some other
classes of political vaticinators, "the wish is oft the father to
the thought," so it might prove hazardous, as it certainly would
be tiresome, to follow their conjectures; instead of doing which,
it will be safer to fall in with the general feeling, and assure
both that they will meet with a hearty and "right royal
welcome."
Among the small, though scarcely to be accounted
trivial incidents, by which the last few days have been dis-
tinguished, there are two, in both of which a portion, if not all
-the judges of the land, have played a part. One of those has
been the formal inauguration of a, Jew Lord Mayor ; .the other
the formal admission of a judge to office—the first-named a
very singular, the latter a very ordinary, though .a very im-
portant affair. This last, which took place in the Court of
Queen's Bench, when the newly-created judge, Mr. Justice
WILLES, presented himself to take the oaths which custom-
arily precede the admission to office. The oaths were adminis-
tered by Lord CAMPBELL, Lord Chief Justice of England,
between whom and the novice judge a scene occurred which
has occasioned no small amount of scandal, and given rise to
many a solemn commentary. Among the oaths administered
was the oath of abjuration ; and the grey-haired legal veteran
observing that his junior brother did not repeat the words of
the abjuring obligation, admonished him of his omission. To
this the newly-made judge pertly replied, that "he he abjured in
his mind, though his lips did not appear to do their office." The
mental abjuration, not being in Lord CAMPBELL'S estimation
a good legal form of procedure, he insisted on the words being
expressed, but added, " the law requires such a farce to take
place." Thus encouraged, the more juvenile histrione com-
plied with the law's requirement, and so the was farce ended.
Every day supplies evidence of the reckless disregard with
which certain parties look upon the value of an oath, and
society has serious reason to complain of such disregard.
What, however, is to be thought of the administration and
value of oaths, when one judge sitting upon the judgment
seat, in the act of administering an oath to a brother judge,
which the latter appears unwilling to emit, gravely states
that the oath is a farce which, under the circumstances, the
law insists upon compliance with. Many people believe that
example is better than precept in the inculcation of important
social and religious duties ; if so, the example set by some of
HER MAJESTY'S judges does not seem very favourable to
securing the sanctity of oaths.
The advent of a Jewish Lord Mayor is memorable on several
accounts, the first being the decided breach which such an
appointment makes in the Christian defences of our consti-
tution; another and less important consideration is the sin-
gular reception given at the civic banquet to Lord JOITN
RUSSELL. In answer to a toast which at the saturnalia
coupled his Lordship's name with the House of Commons, he
essayed to offer his opinion that the attainment of the office of
Lord Mayor by Mr. Alderman SALomoms was a triumph of
the cause of civil and religious liberty, of which he (the speaker)
had always been an ardent and conspicuous supporter; but
the assertion was met by a clamour of derisive cheers and
hisses, which made the city representative suddenly resume
his seat. His notable dodges in reference to the famous Jewish
Disabilities Bill were too fresh in the memory of the Lord
Mayor's friends to allow so shallow an artifice to be successful ;
his instability of purpose and want of integrity in other public
matters deprived him of support from other sections of the
guests ; and he was left, forsaken and dispirited, to brave the
storm of popular indignation he had drawn upon himself.
Every one is now convinced that his unseated colleague must,
at the next election, provide himself with a more popular
political twin than HER MAJESTY'S ex-plenipotentiary at
Vienna, if the City is to be represented in parliament at all.
At the same banquet Lord PALMERSTON came out with a
speech so full of warlike energy, that the Times of the fol-
liming morning declares the whole symposium to have been a
" warlike demonstration." - I
Connected with this bellicose speech, the opinion strongly
expressed about it at the clubs is that it was a desperate and
not over discreet bidding for popularity. In these nuclei of
political conjecture, it is held by all parties that the Ramps,
STON Cabinet has arrived at a crisis, from which it will with
difficulty and diminished influence, if at all, escape. That So:
Ministry, which finds difficulties almost insurmountable la, 1
filling up a vacancy occasioned by the death of a principal
officer of state, is in a moribund condition, few can doubt.
That such is the condition of the present Cabinet, is a matter
of equal certainty. Personally Lord PALMERSTON is pos- ,
sessed of considerable popularity, which has in a large measure
been increased by his conduct of the war during the period
he has held the reins of government ; but one man .is not
sufficient to sustain the character and credit of ar admi-
nistration, and his lordship feels the truth of this.. With
a desperate resolution to remedy the evil, if -possible,
he endeavoured to ally himself with that party, which at
his own advent to power be treated with mean dupli-
city and out-manoeuvred by ungentlemanly shuffling. He
offered the colonial seals to Lord STANLEY, as—so it is said—
a sort of party compromise to buy off the opposition, if he
could not secure the active co-operation of the Conservative
section in both Houses of Parliament led by the Earl, of
DERBY. In his anxiety to grasp the office of Premier, in
February last, he disdained the proffered cc-operation of Lord
DEBBY ; within eight little months of that time he has seen
the necessity of soliciting the aid of Lord. DERBY'S son,, and
has been humiliated by its refusal. The, present conjuncture
of affairs with Lord PALMERSTON is evidently a perplexing
one; and rumour takes advantage of the opportunity to cir-
culate all kinds of absurd conjecturea relative to his move-
ments ; the most recent being, that, foiled in his attempt to
secure. Lord STANLEY, and fully satisfied of the futility of ad-
vancing Mr. FRED. PEEL to the %leant office, he has turned
the matter over in his mind, and sees no one now so fit to fill
the empty chair as his quondam friend and colleague the
Duke of NEWCASTLE. To him accordingly it is said he has
turned in ,his extremity, and has placed the Colonial Secretary-
ship at.this acceptance. What will be the result of this appli-
cation is a matter of anxious speculation to many, not the least
interested of whom is understood to be Lord PALMERSTON
himself, who in some of his wild dreams is said to look upon,
Lord Jonrr RUSSELL as his stop-gap and forlorn hope in this
affair. If such an idea ever seriously entered his mind, the
sibilations with which that " Wandering Jew" of state craft
was greeted at the Guildhall on Friday evening must have
effectually dispelled it. Other parties beside those referred to
affect to see in the begging for colleagues an intention to
prepare the public mind for an early dissolution of Parliament.
His lordship is without doubt an " artful dodger," although
hardly so deep in the mysteries as that would indicate; the
least informed on such topics looks upon the solicitation part
of the affair as greatly more indicative of a dissolution of
the Cabinet than the House of Commons.
Apropos of the House of Commons, it appears much more
than likely that Sir CHIPLES NAPIER will secure his seat
as the happy representative of Southwark. The vigour of
his fire and the efficacy of his broadsides have driven his
opponent, Mr.-ScovELL, from the field, and to all appearance
the " Old,ConfraodoiV will now walk the "c0ur5e,,,,,,,, Prior to

Friday resented with a new hat. The partieS"who thus
geno;usly stepped forward to relieve him from the imputa-

favour, Sir CHARLES NAPIER has provided himself with a
political manifesto, which is got. less singular• for its terse
brevity than it is remarkable for the bold 'vigour of that
political confessio,iedi which it enunciates. It includes-.-a
vigorous prosecution • of war,—vote by ballot,.—the
franchise of all ratepayers,short parliaments,—adrainistra-

one which likely will not be quite exhausted at the termina-
tion of his Parliamentary campaign, if ever he should be
permitted to open it, even though it should extend beyond
the -period generally expected for the - land cimise of a
veteran " salt."
That the minds of great men are occasionally beset by
vagaries, is abundantly true; and many well-disposed indi-
viduals believe this infirmity wisely imposed upon man,
"lest," in the language Of "Holy Willie,"
" - he owre proud and high should turn
'Cause he's sae gifted."
In following out such vagaries, which vulyo vocantur aunt
"riding hobbies," it has been found that no one rides with
such energy and determination as a man who, having obtained
some credit by flying with borrowed pinions, is still boldly
aggressive to the work. Of this kidney is RICIIA.RD COBDENt
representative of the West Riding of Yorkshire, and political
Caleb Quotem ! On various occasions, when the dark-lantern
of his wisdom has been withdrawn from the illumination of
parliament, its sable radiance and leaden lustre have been
thrown upon the path of the outer world. In each of these
instances it has revealed something extraordinary. Its virgin
splendours lifted the happy owner to a public testimonial,
value £80,000; the second application of the " mag.e, lantern"
displayed, before the eyes of an astonished world, how the
Russian empire might be crumpled up like a sheet of ques-
tionably brown coloured paper, furnished by the necromancer
himself; in its third demonstration, the implement has
seemingly been turned upon its owner, and instead of
approaching Russia as a trampler-up, it shows him destitute
of crushing powers or propensities, and displays him as one of
the meekest of mortals. Under the new arrangement of the
lamp he has seized the olive branch, and now presents a
twig to each of the contending parties: The picture he now
shows is one altogether, or nearly, based upon profit and loss.
He does not now protest against the war on account of its
being war. Even for the sake of bringing about peace he does
not crumple up his bullying and acquisitive friend the CZAR,
but he rates his countrymen for their unskilful way of making
war. The war„ he maintains, is wrong in principle, and more
unpopular in fact, On neither of these grounds, however, is
his indignation vented. He hates the war, but he hakes its
bungling conduct worse. In the war his own precious carcass
runs no risk. In paying the cost of it, his• eighty thousand
pounds are trenched on. Of the injustice of the war he is
quite convinced ; but he would rather see our injusticetrient-
pliant through able management than baffled, while costing
much as to make an inroad on his pecuniary resources.- He
had no such compunctious- visitings about useless expenditure
when his £BO,OOO were being collected. He never wished, I

self into an exaggerated idea of. those difficulties, he- ad-
visesus to abandon the war as too costly a luxury, whichrif it,
could only be • got through within brief time and at little
cost, he yet could bring himself to patronise and admire. Not
seeing his way clearly in that direction, and descending from
his moral rostrum, he places prominently before the editees of
the Leeds-Mercury, and his readers; the heavy task width
must be overcome in " humbliug and reducing to abject terms
of peace an empire of sixty millions of people by invading
their territory at a distance of 3,000 milesi and thus contend-
ing with-the passive obstinacy of the most stubborn races:
existence, under the greatest possible disadvantage to one-
selves." In the fearfully protracted panorama of ctifeselt7
and dang,er. which Mr. COI3DEII -now drawer one consolation at
least presents - itself to ordinary men. The estimate he
formed of the Russian power and obstinacy seven years age
was a sad' mistake, and he offers no better guarantee far -
accuracy in this. Both have their foundation in the same
' source, the ignorance and selfish presumpticinof the charlatan:,
That difficulties of great magnitude and. number beset the
endeavour to limit the aggressive spinit of. Russia, is a prepo-
sition which has long been felt in western Europe. Nay more;.
the knowledge of its truth has operated in a high degree to.
check the opposition which otherwise
.it would have encoun,
tered. Each province addedlo the outstretched and still out-
stretching. territory of the Czar, if it has -not absolutely
strengthened his position, has at least tended to weaken-Sie
means of opposition. Fear has kept many in subjection ton
system which, though hating., they could not., cope with, r,nd a
knowledge of this fact, together with the reluctance mani-'
fested be our rulers to avail themselves .of the means which
those dislikes would have. ,laced readii.n at their sere:_ce, to
weaken and humiliate Rurssin, have concurred in fostering the
belief that ministers have never been hearty in their prosecu-
tion of the war.. A more earnest aspect appears to be settling
on affaire. The Allies seem more alive-to the advantage of col-
lateral aid. They are nowt- it is said, endeavouring to secure the
new alliances in the north. In this insiszion the Emperor of the
French:has taken the initiative, and, it is-understood, with good
prospects of success. Gen. CA.)7EO33HW has been despatched
to the courts of Copenhagen and Stockholm; ostensibly on a
message of ceremony—in reality it is believed to lay the
foundation .of an extended alliance which shall lade& the
monarchies of Sweden and Denmarkill the emprise, for bring.
ing_Russia back to reason and restraining her ambition. The
contemplation of Such. a project us this gives an entirely new '
character tothe war. If either of tbnae Scandinavian-powers be-
come parties to the war against Russia,their safety for the future
will compel them toezact obligations from France and Britain to,
bear them through whatever consequences may arise from the-
alliance. From the moment such an alliance is formed—if.
formed it ever shall be—all talk about non-aggressive war upon,
Russia must cease, as the idle babbling of children. Repress
sion, not limitation, must, in that case, be the designation of the
struggle. This new alliance plainly means extended objects
—a widened Reid of action—increased respensibilities—Ml
protracted struggle. On th other hand, it indicates, with up
less certainty,fa full attainment of the end in .view--such a
limitation of Russian power as will render the Autocrat a
safe and quiet neighbour.. While thus,seeking to extend the
European, compact on the west and north, it is singular that
no overture has-been as yet made to, reconstruct the-Polish
empire, as a sharp anductive antagonist to Russia. This, it
is understood, would be dangerous to Prussia, and,would in-
evitably give umbrage to Austria, therefore it must not be
thought or spoken of. Surely enough of dawdling has been
already conceded to the nicely-poised friendship-of these two
respectable neutrals. Time has been lost, treasure squan-
dered, and blood- poured out like water, to disarm their pre-
judices- and conciliate their good will. And. what progress has
been made in, effecting so costly an, operation.? None ; abso-
lutely none! If either of them is now more prepared to take-
part with us than before,, it is not owing to any increased:
affection towards us, but has been wrung from them by a
process which would hare been more effectual if it had been.
sooner applied. The leases inflicted on the Catu have-been
more persuasive advocates than our forbearance.
In the meantime, the active prosecution of hostilities must
perforce be suspended for a space. The elements impel the
necessary truce, and for some months to come preparations for
future strife are all that can be carried on with hostile aim.
Experience has so far been left to do its work in the period
which is past, and it has read us so bitter a lesson, that little
surely is 'now to be feared on the score of ignorance and ,
nothing from negligence. Our fleets and armies will beeared
for this winter after a fashion very different from the last.
That period of the year when a campaign cannot be conducted
is generally selected as the time when the less formidable,
although sometimes not less dangerous agents of diplomacy
are set in motion ; and already the note of preparation for their
muster is sounding in different quarters. Let us beware of
losing by negotiation what we have won through fire and
blood. Already a great blow has been struck at the most
dangerous as well as the most vulnerable part of Russia.
This is felt all over Europe, and the present time is looked to
anxiously by many a beating heart. "Strike," says an able
writer in Blackwood,—" we again say ' strike' at the military
strength of Russia—strike firmly and unsparingly. With
every blow her far-spread influence will ebb back from the
face of Europe,—the fetters, not less potent, because moral
will fall from many a state,—and each people will have an
opportunity of developing its powers and its institutions its
own way. That is what we are fighting for. It is at once
the Independence of Europe and the Safety of Europe. The
two go together
_and have their natural result in PEACE.
Peace—not a truce—not a mere breathing-time of arms—a
lasting, healthy, righteous peace—a blessing to all, and desired
by all, because continued at the expense of none."

LIVERPOOL "TOWN COUNCIL.
ELECTION OF MAYOR.
FRIDAY being the 9th of November, a meeting of the
Council was held for the election of Mayor. There was a very
numerous attendance. The retiring Mayor (James Aspinall
Tobin, Esq.,) who occupied the chair% intimated that the first
business which devolved upon_ the Council was to elect a
Mayor for the ensuing year.
Mr. Alderman J. H. TURNER said he' felt much pleasure in
proposing Mr: John Stewart, a gentleman so well known to
all the members as to require no eulogy from him. The high
character and- sterling moral worth of Mr.- Stewart in an
especial degree entitled him to esteem and confidence, and
these, combined with his long experience and active business
habits, together with the extensive knowledge' of all matters
connected with the affairs of the corporation which he pos-
sessed, rendered him peculiarly fitted for the office. One
circumstance connected with Mr. Stewart it wa.¢. impossible to
pass over. That was; the' great ability and tact displayed by
him in the negotiations for' purchasing the Birkenhead Docks.
(Hear). Without offering disparagement to the ' valuable
services of others who formed the deputation to London, he
(Mr. T.) had no doubt that to the untiring zeal, patient-atten-
tion, and discrimination of Mr. Stewart—aided, no doubt,. by
the high and deserved estimation in which he is personally
held—the difficulties by wadi' the project was besei,..the
success of the negotiation was-mainly to be attributed. (Hear,
hear.) After alluding at Considerable length to the prospect
of further usefulness to the borough to result from the assi-
duity and judgment of Mr. Stewart,- heconcluded by proposing-
that John. Stewart, Esq., be elected Mayor for the borough for
the ensuing year.
Mr. How= seconded the nomination of Mr. Stewart, and
indoing so said he believed it to' be universally felt that the
valuable-services rendered to Liverpool by Mr. Stewart con=
(erred on-his-election to the office- the character of a duty on
thepart of the- council. He could' hope for no happier for-
tune-for Mr. Stewart, in connexionvith. the office, than that
at the conclusion of his mayoralty he- might be able to
restore the office-to the gift of the council,. and to retire into
private life;. possessing to the same extent the approbation,
the esteem, and the good wishes of all;-as-was possessed by
the gentleman whawas now retiring ficm-it.
The question was-then put and carried with =halation.
Mr. STRVA.RT was-introduced by his prdposer and seconder,
and having taken the. oaths of office and the chair, said :
Gentlemenof the Council, I feel quite at'aloss-to express my-
self in suitable terms-of aeknowledgmentrat the way in which

That ship on the homeward voyage, in addition to a nume-
rous- body of passengers, had also on board a very valuable
cargo.; in bulk consisting chiefly of wool, but including gold
to the value of £400,000. Shortly after leaving Melbourne,
she encountered very rough and stormy weather, which con-
siderably delayed her progress, and among otherthings revealed
the fact that she was leaky. Her commander, Capt. Edward
Devey, an officer of great prudence, skill,. and firmness of
purpose, on discovering this important fact,. took immediate
means for ascertaining the extent and nature of the leak; and
from a most careful examination of the ship, and a full consi-
deration of all the circumstances, he satisfied himself that the
leak was in itself trifling in extent, and was not at allcalculated
to endanger the vessel: In this judgment he was further con-
firmed by the fact thatcafter having encountered a very severe
gale, in which the ship, rolled and pitched heavily, subse-
quently to the discovery of the leakage, this latter was not in
the slightest degree augmented. This fortified him in the
opinion. he had formed as tothe trivial nature of the leak, and
fully assured him of the absolute soundness and complete
seaworthisiess of his ship. This•oonviction he also fully estab-
lished in-Vie minds of his passengers ; the officers and crew
seem never to have entertained any doubt about it. Partly
in consequence of the delay occasioned by the severe weather
she had encountered, and partly caused. by an unexpected
mortality among the live stock, it became-desirable to obtain
an additionalastock of fowls and other-'fresh provisions, and
for the purpose of obtaining these the ship called off Pernam-
buco. That no-other object was contemplated beyond merely
replenishing, is-fully borne out by thoevidence adduced at
the investigation; and by the fact that so soonas the captain
could get landed he-went direct to the stores from-which such
articles could be purchased, seeking no assistance of any kind
from any body. The-fact of the leakage, however, washy some
means communicated to the consul. That officer, it is but fair to
presume, actuated by'anxiety for the lives-of the passengers,
and the safety of thevaluable property on beard, deemedit his
drty to make inquiry into the condition of the ship, and, hav-
ing sought an interview with the captaina.represente& the
statements which he had-heard, and suggested a survey being
made of the ship. To this. proposition the captain, who had.
represented to the consul, the entire absence of any ground for
apprehension, and confidently relying, from actual knowledge;
on-the-seaworthiness of the Mermaid, assented, and the ship-
was-surveyed. To his surprise, however, the report of those
employed in the survey pronounced the ship unfit to -proceed,
on her voyage without being brought into port, and thoroughh'-
overhauled, of course with.a view to being repaired. - In the -
correctness of this report,. and the advantage- of its -recom—
mendation, Captain Devey did not concur ; and here that gen-
tleman and the consul came first into collision.
Duty on both sides came-into direct opposition. The cap—
tain, still-unshaken in his belief that his ship was quite fit to-
proceed on her homeward voyage, was unwilling: to incur-the:
great responsibilities implied in •the detention of, the vess.l,
.and the heavy costs attendant upon that, and on the large
charges which in such a port must necessarily arise in effect-
ing imperfect repairs upon &ship which stood in no immediate
need of them ; added to all which he had before- his eyes the
large sum which would be exacted by the consuitin the shape
of a commission, which he himself fixed at two and a half. per
.cent. on the value of the cargo, amounting on the:gold alone
which she -carried (£400,000 worth)- to £10,000.) To add to
the difficulties of Captain Davey in -the circumstances, he re--
ceived a-notification from the agent for Lloyd's and other
societies- of underwriters. at Pernambuco, that this -heavy.
per centage • would not be paid by the underwriters.-
In these-trying circumstances the consul endeavoured to.
persuade Captain Devey to yield, to have hisship lightened,,
brought into-port, and repaired.. Against this. arrangement
he was memorialized by- his. officers and crew, and by the
passengers. on board. Acting on the conviction that the
Pernambuco survey was- wrong, and backed by- the expressed,
confidence -of his passengers and crew, Captain Devey took
the bold resolution of proceeding on his, voyage without
deferring to the comae .request ; and in disobedience to, the•
latter'S authority he sailed.. By doing so, nedoubt can exist in,
any mind that Captain Devey, took upon himself a very unusual
weight of responsibility,- which, under most circurnstanees„,
success. itself could scarcely have justified. Fortunately
for- him the event proved the accuracy- of his judgpient
in relation to the goodness; of his ship. He made a rapid
voyage from Pernambuco. to Liverpool,, where he landed his
passengers safely, and his cargo uninjpred. The ship was
immediately put under surrey, and the-A-rifling nature of the
leak diecovered, the government emigration officers verifying
upon, oath the correctness of Captain Devey's estimate• of his
ship's sea-worthiness, More than this,. these officials, as well
as. Mr. John Wilson Green, shipwright surveyor to. the
Board of Trade„ concurred in the statement that Capt. Devey
did exactly as- he- ought to have done in proceedhag ost his
voyage ; and that they themselves, if placed lu his posi-
tion, would have done the same in addition to. ,all which
the court of inquiry adopted the;r- views, and intimatsal their
opinion that the captain was justified in prosecuting his
voyage to England in the Mermaid ; and, so fac.frova being to
blame in doing so, did all that could.-be reasonably expected
from a persca in his responsible- and trying position.
So far, than,, as Captain Dewy and the Mermaid are con-
cerned, alLhas been right and. bas gone ri4t, but how Stands.
the case with respect to the working of the law ? The consal
was armedavith power, in accordance with, some of the pro..
visions of the Merchant Shipping Act„ to summon a naval.
'court, consisting, it might be, of a British merchant residing_
in the place, the captain of a merchant ship, and himself ;, and
if these three were unanimous in the opinion that the safety
of the ship or crew, or that the interest-of the owners absolutely
demanded it, they might have superseded even so ski3ful and
intelligent a commander as. Captain Devey, and have, supplied,
his.. place by some parties whose knowledge and general.infor,
mation on the subject might have been akin to that possessed
by the surveyors who examined the Mermaid at Pernambuco,
Surely such a state of matters is one imperatively calling for
redress. In the- ease supposed;we have given all parties credit
for disinterested zeal and well-meant attention boan,importaut
public duty. It is obvious., however, that cases may arise in
which the temptation held. out by the prospect of so large an
amount of commission astbat which would have accrued to the
consul at Pernambuco, in the case referred, to, might prove too
much for the integrity of the official.
At all events, it is not seemly to place so responsible an
officer as the Consular representative of this great mercantile
country in a position where distress might yield him a profit,
and in which his interests would be brought directly into
collision with those whom it should be his duty to protect.
The law should be so constructed, that the British Consul at a
foreign port may never be necessitated to debate with captains
of ships in need of his protecting care, the terms on which
that protection shall be afforded ; and, above all, he should be
relieved from the odium of attempting to secure payment of
those charges upon misfortune, by " extorting bonds of hot-
tomry on the ships and refusing bills drawn upon the owners."
The office of Consul is one which ought to be placed above the
reach of circumstances so degrading. Its real intention is one
of protection and assistance, not of exaction. What, however,
is the necessary and almost inevitable inference to be drawn
from some of the painful circumstances which fortune and the
law may encumber those officers with ? The misconstruction
to which they may be liable is great, and such as no honour-
able man should be subjected to. The Dublin. Freeman's
Journal of the 29th ult. has the following comment on the
then undecided case of the " Mermaid," from which it would
appear that Pernambuco is a sort of Siren's island, where
distressed mariners have, ere now, been allured to their
destruction :

The Mermaid, from Melbourne to Liverpool, which put into

the captain having refused to allow his vessel to be repaired
at that port, and brought her home safe. It is to be hoped
that the courage and management of the master, whose

HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY.
KIDNEY PUDDING.-Split and soak the kidneys,
season each well, make a paste of suet, flour, and
milk, roll well, line a basin with it, place the kidney
in cover with the paste and pinch up the sides. Tie
the basin up in a cloth and boil well, then turn out
and serve with a good gravy, if there is not sufficient
in the dish.
SAVOURY BRISKET OF BEEF.—Put seven or eight
pounds of brisket into a stewpan, and cover it with
water, let it simmer till the meat be quite tender.
Cut away the bones, and let the liquor grow quite
cold, that you may remove all the fat from the sur-
face. Mix with a pint of clear liquor, half a pint
of port wine, a table-spoonful of walnut catsup,
a spoonful of mushroom powder, and half-a-dozen arti-
choke bottoms ; to these add a table-spoonful of mixed
cayenne pepper and mace, in powder. Boil a couple
of carrots, and a couple of turnips, and cut them into
small squares, strew these over the meat, and warm it
up very gently in the sauce for a few minutes. Truf-
fles, if convenient, may be also used with advantage.
To SMOKE HEREINGS.—CIean the fish, then lay
the salt, mixed with a little saltpetre, for one night,
remove from the salt, run a stick through the eyes
so that you have a dozen or more in a row. Knock
one end out of a cask and fasten the sticks, with the
herrings attached, to the other end by means of
wedges or staples and string. Place a small brazier
with red-hot charcoal in it in a convenient place, and
heap sawdust and walnut shells upon it, then place
the inverted cask prepared as directed, above over it,
and let it reman for twenty-four hours. When suffi-
ciently smoked, remove and lay in a dry place, or run
a string through the eyes and hang up.
OX-TAIL Soup.—Take two large, or three small
tails, divide them completely at the joints, rub them
with salt, and soak well in warm water. Remove
after they have soaked an hour and a half, and place
in a stew-pan with a faggot of parsley, four or five
onions, a dozen peppercorns, a blade of mace, a turnip,
and two carrots sliced, and three quarts of water.
Stew gently for two hours and a half; until the meat
is tender, then remove and cut into small pieces,
which place in a fresh stew-pan. Thicken the soup
with a little browned flour, rubbed up with a ladleful
of the top fat, and then strain it into the stew-pan
containing the tails. Boil up, skim well, add mush-
room-catsup and pepper to taste, and serve hot.
TOMATA Sour.—Choose a dozen ripe tomatoes, or
if large only ten, put them into a stew-pan with a
pint of good beef stock, and stew gently, until they
are quite soft, then pulp through a sammis-cloth, or
fine sieve, and, after mixing the pulp with a little
ginger, cayenne, and salt, according to taste, add it to
two quarts of good beef stock, and boil up. When it
boils, add two ounces of Italian paste, in small stars,
rings, &c., or the same quantity of vermicelli ; boil
for twenty minutes, and serve hot. Some persons
like the soup flavoured, with garlic, in which case,
half a clove may be added to the tomatoes when first

HATH NOT BEFORE DISPOSED OF HIS GOODS, let him
then be admonished to make his will." According to-
a late notice in the Banner, of the present law of
Pennsylvania, on the subject of bequests to religious
uses, then" will, probably, in almost all cases be
too late ; for the deed or will must be executed, at-
tested by two creditable, and, at the same time, dis-
interested, witnesses, at least one calendar month
before the death of the testator or alienor. Let any
one who has purposes of piety and charity in his heart,
beware lest he defeat their execution for him, by
others, after his death, by too long a postponement of
making his will. And let every steward of God con-
sider whether he may not, and should not, even before
death " is only a month off," dispose of his goods, to
God's glory, and the benefit of the needy and suffer-
ing.—Banner of the Cross.
,GEORGE lII.—He had many qualities that became
a sovereign—temperance, regularity, and industry;
decorus manners, and unaffected piety, frugality in his
personal expense, so that his pleasures laid no burden
on his people ; a moderation which made him averse
to wars of conquest ; courage which dared to assume
responsibility, and could even contemplate death se-
renely ; a fortitude that met accumulated dangers
without flinching, and rose with adversity. But his
mind was bigoted, morbidly impatient of being ruled,
and yet himself incapable of reconciling the demands
of civilisation with the establishments of the past. He
was the great founder and head of the new Tory or
Conservative party, which had become dominant
through his support. To that cause all his instincts
were blindedly true ; ss that throughout his career he
was consistent in his zeal for authority, his hatred of
reform, and his antipathy to philosophical freedom of
inquiry and to popular power, on these points he was
inflexibly obstinate and undisguised ; nor could he be
justly censured for dissimulation, except for that disin-
genousness which studies the secret characters of men
in order to use them as its instrument. No one could
tell whether the king really liked him. He could
flatter, cajole, and humour, or frown and threaten; he
could conceal the sense of injuries and forget good ser-
vice ; bribe the corrupt by favours, or terrify desert-
ers by punishment, In bestowing rewards, it was his
rule-as far as possible, to preserve the dependance of
his favourites by making none but revocable grants
and he required of his friends an implicit obedience.
He was willing to govern through parliament, yet did
not conceal his residence to stand by his ministers,
even though they should find themselves in a minority ;
and was sure that one day the government must dis-
regard majorities. With a strong physical frame, he
had also a nervous susceptibility which made him ra-
pid in his utterance and so impatient of contradiction
that he never could bear the presence of a minister
who resolutely differed from him, and was easily
thrown into a state of high excitement, bordering upon
madness. Anger, which Chatham into a seer, pouring
floods of light upon his (mind, and quickening his dis-
cernment, served only to cloud ordisturb the mind of
George 111., so that he could not hide his thoughts
from those about him, and. if using his pen, could
neither spell correctly or write coherently. Hence the
proud unbending Grenville was his aversion; and his
years with the compliant Lord North, though full of
public disasters, were the hapiest of his life. Conscious
of his devotion to the cause of legitimate authority,
and viewing with complacency his own correctness of
morals, he identified himself with the cause which he
venerated. His eye did not rest on colonial liberty or
a people struggling towards more intelligence and
happiness ; the crown was to him the emblem of all
rightful power. He had the worst quality of evil, that
he, as it were, adored himself; and regarded opposi-
tion to his designs as an offence against integrity and
patriotism.—Baneroft's History of the American
Revolution, Vol. 111.

PEACE, OR WAR?
THE rumour which was current a short time since
• -
as to a contemplated coalition between liressm
DISRAELI, GLADSTONE, and BRIGHT,' with the 'View
of promoting a termination of the war and .substituting
such an unnatural alliance for the present Ministry,
may be -classed-amongst the idle speculations to- which
general dissatisfaction_with the existingstate of things
often gives rise. Such a rumour could not be true, is-
far,at. least as Mr.. DISRAELI is concerned, as it is well
known that the Conservatives as
_a' todthiave'tOo much
regard -for-the national-honour and thetrUeliiteFests.'
of Great Britain to allow them to be frittered7awv.inT
order to gratify a sordid motive for selling more,
calico: It has, however, assumed a new phase, and
Lord JOEcN RUSSELL is spoken of as the colleague of
the renegade Peelite and the Manchester Quaker, to
agitate for peace at any price; and, following up the
tactics of the Free Trade movement, a League has been
attempted to be foilned with the avowed object of
putting a stop to the war. -With- the exception of
some few who would sacrifice every consideration for 1
the gratification of the present moment, and imperil'
the maintenance of civilisation, so long as they could
save their own paltry contribution towards the defence
of it, we cannot believe that such an appeal would
meet with a response from the people of" England. It
is so- utterly pitiful and knavish, such a confession of
self-degradation, that it is alien to the free and manly
spirit which animates our countrymen of all classes.
This truth is so evident, that" the' plausibility of Mr.
GLADSTONE is brought to bear upon the question, and
the public mind is amused with specious sophistry
in the attempt to 'Show that the object of the war
has been answered with the capture of Sebastopol, that
Turkey has' been effectually rescued from the aggres-
sions of Russia, that further prolongation of the con-
test' can serve no other purpose than to humble the
power of RUssia, and that we ought not to be regard-
less of the - balance of power, to maintain which the
war was undertaken.
Let us admit, for the sake of argument, that the
destruction of the Russian fleet in the Black Sea and
the `demolition of the fortress of Sebastopol were all
that the Allies proposed to themselves to accomplish,
when -war was dedared against Russia in the begin-
ning of last year;is‘there any man so insane as to
argunUat propeSatiei.peaCe. can Co* from the con-
querors ? Has Russia bated one jot of those preten-
sions with which she commenced-the contest, by
sending her armies across the Pruth to take forcible
possession of the provinces of Moldavia and- Walla-
chia P Or has she in any way receded from that
policy which foia century past has made the subju-
gation of Turkey the object of her ambition, as a
preparatory step to universal dominion, which, under
such circumstances, it would be difficult, if not almost
impossible to resist P By now withdrawing from the
contest, or even by taking the initiative in negotiations
for peace, we should be virtually admitting defeat in
the face of victories unparalleled in the history of
warfare-. Every advantage over the foe has been
gained. by hard blows ; defeated in every encounter, he
is sullenly obdurate in holding on by the remotest
chance of ultimate success.; and for us now to relax-
our exertions, because the dastards of the Peace-party
have no honour nor faith but in finding a market for
their , cotton 'goods, would be virtually to undo all
that has been - done, to confess a fear of Russia
prostrate, that we did not feel when she was in the
zenith-of her power, and to break for ever that alliance
with our gallant neighbour, which of itself, supposing
it to continue to the end, will prove the salvation of
Europe.
It has been asserted that since the entry of the
Allied forces into the Crimea the war has assumed an
aggressive character, and consequently cannot be
justified upon The principles of justice, which could.
alone reconcile it to a Christian people. This is not
true either in fact or in inference. The aggression
was committed by Russia when her armies crossed
the Pruth; and were on their way to Constantinople,
had they not been stopped by the valour of the Turks,
at that time unaided. All that has since taken place,
therefore, has been of a defensive character, in order to
secure material guarantees against a repetition of the
outrage; and no better proof could be afforded of the
ultimate intentions of Russia, and the necessity of
taking every proper precaution against their realisa-
tion, than the extraordinary defences of enormous
military and naval stores at Sebastopol. It is also
falsely asserted that all this enormous sacrifice
of men and money has been made in order to save
Turkey from the fangs of her relentless enemy, and
to enable her to maintain her position among the
independent kingdoms of Europe ; and that in con-
sequence the war presented the anomaly of Christian
nations in league for the defence of the infidel. Such
an assumption is taking but a very narrow and super-
ficial view of the question at issue. The independence
of Turkey was but an incident arising from the
circumstance of her being the first object of attack on
the part of Russia, the foremost barrier against the
encroachments of despotism which threatened tof
overwhelm all Europe. It was an onward step in a
danger which has long been impending, and it was
fortunate for the interests of humanity and civilisation
that the Western Powers united to repel the invasion
before it had become too powerful to resist. The
supineness or folly of previous Governments allowed
Russia to pursue her stealthy course of territorial
acquisition unrestrained and almost unheeded. She
has possessed herself of Poland and Finland, of the
provinces on 'the northern shores of the Black Sea,
and in every direction, east, south, and west, until her
empire stretches over the greater part of the northern
continent both in Europe and Asia. She has estab-
lished by diplomatic arts, which have ever been un-
scrupulously used as means to conquest, an influence
in Austria, Prussia, Germany, and even in Greece,
so that resistance could only be looked for from
England and France, which alone possessed the means
to cope with their mighty antagonist.
Under such circumstances, we have much reason to
be thankful that, not only has the danger been seen
and appreciated, but that, by a fortuitous combination
of events, the two great Powers of Western Europe
should have entered into a mutual alliance for the
cause of national liberty. If we persevere, there can
be little doubt that the German States, relieved from
their fears, which now make them the dupes and the
victims of Russian policy, will awake into vigorous
and independent action; but if we recede from the
contest, or listen to any other terms than uncon-
ditional surrender, we shall have sunk from our proud
position of national supremacy, destroyed for a long
time, if not for ever, that prestige which could alone
give weight or influence to Great Britain in the
councils of European nations, and have helped to
forge those fetters upon national liberty which we
shall have rendered more galling by the attempts we
have already made to break them. We have no other
course to pursue, than to prosecute the war at any
hazard, and at any sacrifice, until Russia has been
compelled to sue for peace. Our national honour,
and even our future existence as one of the great
powers of Europe, depend upon the issue of the
struggle. We may be called upon to make further
sacrifices, but the issue will be glorious, for it will be
t
a lasting peace ; whereas,o withdraw at the present
juncture, would be but a hollow truce, to he followed
by consequences far more disastrous.'
A LETTER from Amsterdam states that the Bank of Hol-
land has raised its rate of discount for commercial bills from
3 to 4 per cent. The discount on railway securities remains
as it was, at 4 per cent.

CLAIM FOE SEAMEN'S WAGES.-At the Police-court, on
Friday, eight seamen appeared before Mr. Mansfield, each
claiming from Messrs. James Baines and Co. the sum of
£l6 10s., being wages at the rate of £4 10s. per month, on
board of the Ocean Chief, from this port to Sydney. It ap-
peared that on arriving at Sydney, the Commodore Perry,
another of Messrs. Baines and Co.'s ships, was lying there
short of men. Captain Tobin, of the Ocean Chief, asked if
any of his men would volunteer to go in her to Bombay for
£2O. Eight agreed to do so ; but Captain Tobin refused to
give them either their discharge or their wages for the voyage
from Liverpool to Sydney. The men, however, sailed to Bom-
bay in the Commodore Perry, where each was paid his £2O,
and returned to Liverpool in another vessel. Mr. Forshaw,
for the defence, argued that when sailors make extra large
wages by volunteering from one ship to another, it was not
customary to pay them the wages in the first ship, as they
made more money by leaving her than by remaining in her.
Mr. Mansfield said he would adjournthe case till he had taken
the opinion of an experienced shipmaster on the subject, par-
ticularly with reference to the articles of release,

MONDAY NIGHT.
THE Money-market during the week has presented,
on the whole, a favourable aspect, notwithstanding
that no reduction has been made by the Bank of Eng-
land in the minimum rate of discount. The fluctua-
tions in the Public Funds have been of an upward
character, owing to the increased confidence in mone-
tary resources, and the advance on the whole is nearly
2 per cent. Money for commercial purposes has been
in good demand, but at rates, for first-class paper,
somewhat below that fixed by the Bank of England ;
while on the Stock Exchange money has been at com-
mand for about 3 per cent. Another instalment of
10 per cent. on the British Loan of £16,000,000 will
fall due on the 20th inst., and three days after, an in-
stalment of 15 per cent., or £750,000, on the Turkish
Loan, will be payable. The late arrivals of specie have
been but moderate, but further receipts are expected
shortly ; and as, no doubt, preparations have been made
to meet the instalments on the loans, it is not antici-
pated that they will exercise any serious influence on
the market. The Bank of Dublin has announced an
increase in the rate of discount from 5 to 6 per cent,
and the Royal Bank of Prussia has raised the rate of
discount on commercial paper from 4 to 41 per cent.,
and the interest on loans, upon public funds, and other
securities, from 6 to 51 per cent.
The returns of the Bank of England, published on
Friday, show a decrease in the stock of bullion in both
departments to the extent of £3,731; but as the de-
crease is, to a larger extent, in the banking department,
with an increase in the issue department, upon which
the amount of issue depends, and accompanied also by
a decrease in the circulation of £339,045, the reserve
of notes unemployed, which is the real surplus, shows
an increase, to the amount of £381,905, the public
deposits have again decreasedtothe extent of £330;860,
owing to the payments on Account of the government
exceeding the receipts, and there is also a decrease in
private deposits of 066;879 ; so that, allowing for the
decrease in the circulation of notes, there is ample to
account for the small-diminution in the stock of bullion.
Another decrease 'in private securities •of £179,052,
shows that the demand for accommodation is lessening,
or being satisfied from other sources; •so that, on the
whole, the statement may be deemed satisfactory.
The total receipts of Specie during the week have
been about £200,000, and the whole 'of this has been
re-exported.
Much attention has been necessarily excited by the
rapid and continuous rise which has taken place in
Sugar, .and he increase also in the market-price of al-
most evecy4rticle in general tcousumption. An ad-
vance of :threepence a lb. in the price of Sugar, with
the prospect of a still farthevrise, is attributed 'te the
shortness of stocks, the redudion in supplies, and 'the
continued large consumption. It is stated, however,
that-thae is no want of -supplies in the West -Indies,
whielpis kept back owing•to the difficulty of-obtaining
freights at a moderate ttate. Whatever may be the
cause;it is evident that 'higher prices will render ne-
cessary a larger amount :of. gold in circulation, and
account of itself for diMinished stocks in the Bank
cOffers so that if the restrictions imposed by the
I '
fsßank Charter Act beallowed to continuo, we shall be

SUPPLEMENT TO THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
continent loomed through the haze of those troublous
seas, but to whose surpassing soul this consciousness
of something vast and noble to be found was the real
inspiration, must ever remain one of the greatest
figures in the shifting panorama of history ; at once a
seaman:and a paladin, the most pursuivant of great
dreamers, a good sailor, and a true knight. The cum-
brous and antique ship upon those undiscovered waters,
the turbulent crew, mutinous, selfish, undevoted ; the
tedium of those long strange bright days with nothing
but the wide glisteninc, sea and the un'broken curve of
the horizon line, to dismay the dull hearts which had
no prescience of what awaited them ; and in the midst
of all, the one steadfast single man looking out for his
grand object, unsupported, unsolaced, undismayed.
What a noble picture it is ! not of genius dominant
and worshipped, or of a natural ruler of his fellows,
leading them where he would, at the coercion of his
own superior will. Columbus, hero as he was, was no
king. In this rude company on shipboard, the leader
is no coercive potentate ; you can fancy him the most
humble of all, acknowledging the justice of their com-
plaints against him, arguing their very cause to him-
self. How hard it is for them to consent that their
lives and fortunes should be put upon the hazard for
nothing better than this faith that is in him. And so
he stands apart upon his narrow deck, through those
last days of hope. If they compel him back, his foot
will scarce have touched the shore ere he is busy with
plans to set out again ; and all this time his eager eye
strains out upon these wide, wide shining, hopeless
lines of light, nothing but sky and sea, to answer that
faith and prayer, and passionate craving in his heart.
Yes, it is something against our modern theories of the
highest human excellence, but this wonderful pioneer
of all subsequent researches—this first Christian
knight-errant into an undiscovered universe—does not
seem to have possessed the kingly gift of government.
His sailors had no natural instinct of dependence and
subordination so far as he was concerned ; and while
they were busy with their talk and their plottings,
lying in the sun, warming their discontent into rebel-
lion, pulling at sail and rope with no heart in the hope-
less work, jeering at his abstracted eye as he gazes afar
into the vacant heavens, there is nothing for this man
to do but to watch, to stand upon his post night and
day, and wait for what God will show him. And it is
not to those sullen shipmates (dull souls) that God does
show the varying colour of the great sea-margin, the
broken boughs afloat upon the wave, the glimmering
twilight shadow between the sun and sky. But which
heart among us has not leaped, one time or other, in
sympathy with that great pang of joy which forestalled
the wondering shout of Land !' to Christopher
Columbus, when at last his guide and leader slowly
revealed to him out of the heavens the grand new
hemisphere found, discovered, won for God and for
Spain.---Blackwood's Magazine.
Do YOUR WILL, OR MAKE YOUR WILL.—It is
best, whenever practicable, as in most instances it is,
that men should be their own executors—that while
the time of their stewardship lasts, they should them-
selves devote whatever portion of their fortunes they
deem proper to pious and charitable purposes. If
God have enabled them to found, or endow, or assist
in endowing, a hospital—an orphan's home—a widow's
asylum—or any other agency of good to the bodies
and souls of their fellow-beings, let them do the work
themselves ; while, by God's mercy they still have the
custody of the means, and are laden with the responsi-
bility of their use, and may themselves enjoy the
luxury of doing good—and show the world the in-
structive spectacle of Christians employing means in
their hands, not about to pass for ever from their
hands, in works of piety and charity. What in-
fluences, e.g., might not be expected to go forth from
the spectacle of a Christian engaged in erecting a
home for orphans, or a parsonage for his own or some
feebler parish, spending his money as freely, and
manifesting as lively an interest in the matter as
though he were building a home for himself P It
would almost seem from the fact that such a course is
the rare exception, rather than the general rule, that
Christians felt themselves encouraged to the post-
mortem exercise of charity and benevolence, by the
rubric in the order for the visitation of the sick, in
the Book of Common Prayer :—" Let him then be
admonished to make his will ;"---not considering the
previous clause, which clearly implies an approbation
of men's doing good themselves, while they have op-
portunity, as the most excellent way, " .A.FD IF HE ,

EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS.
The correspondent of the Daily News writes under date of
the 23rd ult., that on the 21st an extensive exchange of pri-
soners was effected at Odessa. In addition to the mate,
boatswain, and two sailors of her Majesty's gunboat Wrangler,
who were surprised and taken a few weeks ago at Yenikale,
the Russians delivered up over one hundred and thirty-two
others English, and tlio hundred and eighty Turks, the latter
captured at various periods within the last two years in Asia
and on the Danube. The ceremony is described as follows :
About ten, a.m., on Sunday, Captain Methuen, accompanied
as before, and bearing with him his prisoners, rowed ashore,
and was received at the landing-pier in the Quarantine by
General Krusenstern, commandant of Odessa ' • Lieutenant-
Colonel Prince Mestschevsky, aide-de-camp to Count Strog-
anoff, the governor-general of Bessarabia ; and the chief of
police, with a numerous staff of attendant officers. As it was
necessary that the documents connected with the exchange
should be signed by Count Stroganoff, an orderly was
despatched to his excellency, who resides in a country house
on the outskirts of the town ; but, in the meantime, the
count himself came in, and was present during the remainder
of the proceedings attending the embarkation. In the
course of the conversation at this interview, the com-
mandant of Odessa put several incidental questions about
the recent capture of Kinburn, and, amongst others, in-
quired if any of our (English) floating batteries had been pre-
sent. On receiving an answer in the negative—the French
being the only ones he replied, in a tone that gave additional
of his uncomplimiierry estimate of
force to the expression
our allies' courage in naval operations, _
—alluding
pas de
grand courage pour un equipage
.cache" 11 to
.the
shot-proof construction of the batteries. 11e further inquired
the names of the two admirals, and was informed_ that,
.in
consequence of his recent promotion, M. Brunt, being senior
in rank, commanded in chief ; on which the general, turning
-to one of the others present, remarked in German, " Ist es
Moglich !" (Is it possible !) In the meantime the liberated
prisoners were being taken on board a small Odessan steamer,
and conveyed to the Colombo, in the roads, at the end of
which operation Captain Methuen and his party returned on
board their ship, pleased with the courtesy they had received,
all the prisoners—who seem to belong to every grade and rank
—speak in terms of high eulogy of the liberality and general
kindness with which they were everywhere treated. Even the
Turks, who, of course, fared worse, admit they were well lodged,
fed, and clothed. After having been variously scattered
about, the whole were collected into one depot at Voronetz, a
considerable town about 300 miles S.E. of Moscow. More
than one Voronetz " Miss Nightingale" ministered with all
woman's assiduity and tenderness to those who needed more
than common care. About a month before their departure for
Odessa, a party of about fifty English deserters arrived at the
former town. These deserters were, of course, universally
" cut" by the prisoners ; nor did they receive any of the kind-
ness so liberally bestowed upon the latter by the townspeople;
and to resent this, the scoundrels availed themselves of every
opportunity to abuse and otherwise annoy the captives.
There was, however, amongst them one remarkable exception,
whose case excited the merited pity of the prisoners, and which
deserves mention in print. The poor fellow had been a
colour-sergeant in the 79th Regiment, and had been led to
commit the rash act of desertion by having lost the regiment's
money,during a fit of drunkenness,at Balaklava,whither he had
been sent by his colonel to receive it from the commissariat.
Dreading the consequences of his misconduct, and fearing that
he would be charged with stealing the lost cash, and punished
accordingly, the poor man deserted under cover of the dark-
ness to Sebastopol, whence, after a short stay, he was sent on
into the interior. His wife and children are in London, and
the unfortunate fellow was pining away in broken-hearted-
ness for the rash act which he had committed, separating him
for ever from them as it did, and consigning him to deeply-
felt disgrace and wretchedness. In pity for the unhappy
man's contrition and misery, the prisoners invited him to
share in their games and other amusements ; but no effort
could induce him to mix with any of them, or abate his self-re-
proaches. Shortly before the prisoners left Voronetz, the
Russian authorities offered to the whole of the deserters
liberty to return, if they chose, but all—with one exception,
who declared he would rather go and be shot by his country-
men than remain as he was—declined availing themselves of
the permission. The poor sergeant was strongly urged by the
prisoners to accompany them, encouraging him to hope that
his case would be mercifully considered; but the wretched
man's sense of the deep disgrace he had brought upon himself
would not let him yield to their urgent advice.

THE ENGLISH CAVALRY.
Writing on the 27th, the correspondent of the Times says :
The day before yesterday the anniversary of the battle of
Balakiava was celebrated by the English cavalry by a grand
parade and manceuvre on the very spot where the heavy ca-
valry charge took place. The display was, like the battle last
year, favoured by the most beautiful weather, of which we
have now bad a run of nearly a week. Numbers of English,
not a few French, and some Sardinian officers, were present.
After having witnessed the reduced state in which the cavalry
was last winter, when the horses had sunk to the rank of
half-starved cab-horses, it was satisfactory to see the regiments
finer than ever. Notwithstanding the numerous recruits and
remounts, the evolutions were excellent. Although the whole
Light Brigade is away in Eupatoria, the two remaining ones,
the Hussar and Heavy Brigade, present a most imposing
array. As, however, there remains nothing to do for them
this year, measures ought to be speedily taken to keep them
in condition for the next. Lieutenant-Colonel Clarke, of the
Scots Greys, was sent down some time ago to provide for stables
and barracks in the neighbourhood of Constantinople, and
Mr. Lee, C.E., is actually busy providing both. In the be-
ginning there seems to have been an idea of sending down the
Horse Artillery as well as the cavalry, but this seems to be
given up, as stables are being constructed for the former here.
The place chosen for the main part of the stables is at Hayder
Pasha, behind Scutari; but several other places on the coast,
as Ismid and others, have been inspected for the purpose.
The palace of Hayder Pasha will be appropriated as a barrack
for the men, and the harem as quarters for the officers. The
order has already come out for the horses of absent officers
to be sent down by the Himalaya, which will likewise take all
the sick horses. She has brought in the Sardinian drafts, and
will now be appropriated for the transport of cavalry horses.
STATE OF THE TOWN OF SEBASTOPOL.
Upon the present state of the south side of Sebastopol, the
correspondent of the Daily News, writing on the 26th ult.,
says: --
The working parties on the north side of the roadstead,
immediately opposite the town and suburbs of Sebastopol,
have continued to be actively employed in strengthening the
defences, and the number of guns mounted in the cliff earth-
work batteries and shore forts would appear to be increased,
if we may judge from the greater frequency and weight of
fire directed against the south side during the last few days.
The enemy have added rockets to the list of projectiles with
which they have favoured us; they have fallen chiefly in the
neigbourhood of the white buildings in the Karabelnaia, and
have been sent with the object of burning those portions
which have escaped fire hitherto. The design has not suc-
ceeded. The shot and shell—howitzer shells for the most
part, though on Fort Constantine two mortars have been
lately added to the large solitary mortar which was previously
used—have been discharged in greatest number into the town
proper, on the west side of the south harbour. On the 23rd
instant a couple of houses were set on fire in rear of Fort
Nicholas, near its east ends, not far from the old landing-
place, by shell, which was directed against the French mortar
battery in this situation. They had escaped, as well as a con-
siderable group of out-houses, stores, and stables in their
neighbourhood attached to Fort Nicholas, the general confla-
gration when the Russians gave up the town to destruction
on the 9th of September ; and strange enough the fire which
raged along the vaulted corridors of Fort Nicholas itself, and
utterly consumed everything combustible for upwards of two-
thirds of its distance, commencing from: the west end, had
alsosuddenly stopped, and spared the interiorof the east end of the
building. Had it not done so it would have reached a cham-
ber in which a large quantity of gunpowder, fusees, and in-
flammable materials have been heaped together, and this end
of the fort and the neighbouring buildings would in all proba-
bility have been levelled to the ground. As seen from a dis-
tance, even a comparatively short distance, such as the Redan,
or 3lalakhoff hills for example, the appearance of the town of
Sebastopol by no means indicates its utter state of ruin. The
stone walls remain upright, and many of the larger and more
solidly-constructed buildings retain their entire form and outline.
The roofs of many houses stillexist, and the roofless condition of
many others is not visible, as street rises above street up the
sloping declivities of the hilly ground. The general white
surface of the limestone prevents the smashes and displace-
ments in the fronts and sides of the houses from being
noticed; and thus a stranger, limiting his observation to
these points of view, would depart with a very erroneous
notion of the real state of the town. The Russians seem
determined that even this deceptive appearance shall not be
suffered to remain. They scatter shells at random in various
parts, and now, at all hours of the day and night, may
be heard, quickly following the loud report of the gun on the
north side and the " which" of the missile across the road-
stead, not merely the sharp explosive bang of the bursting
shell as heretofore among the earthworks, but also, as ac-
companiments, the crash of falling rafters and tumbling stone
walls. Never was town so belaboured : after eleven months
of battering by its enemies, and the subsequent ordeal of fire
and explosion, to be thus in turn battered by its former
friends. The fire of the north side has not been limited to
the west side of the south harbour, although that has had its
chief share. It has also been rather heavy about the dock-
yard buildings near Fort Paul, where the Russians appear to
think we have some Works, and also towards Careening Bay,
in which direction the French have a battery erected. The
casualties have been remarkably limited in number, but the
escapes in some instances have been close enough to point
out the necessity of constant caution not to attract the notice
of the enemy. On the 24th instant the arrangements of a
French picket were abruptly disturbed by a shell falling
through the roof of the house in which they had taken up
their temporary abode, not far from the aqueduct as it ap-
proaches the dockyard ; and as another shell quickly followed,
and fell near the same spot, it is not unlikely that this was a
hint that the party had been observed. The few men who
were in the house at the time the shell penetrated the roof
had time to escape before its explosion, and no one was hurt.
Parties sent from the camp to collect wood are invariably
kept out of sight as much as possible. Some rifle balls have
been sent across against our men on duty along the shore,
and keeping watch against an approach of the enemy ; but
they have generally fallen short, and been seen to splash
harmlessly the water of the roadstead. We are again com-
mencing a battery, but it may be prudent not to indicate too
particularly its situation, as the work is but very little ad-
vanced as yet.

AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER.
the Transcaucasian states, he proceeds to consider
the gradual interference of Russia. The jealousies
of the two Eastern States were carefully stimu-
lated by the intrigues of the Russian court, whose
rulers were deeply sensible of the value of the
truthful injunction, acted on by more than one
despot, divide et impera, and ceaselessly held in
operation by the Muscovite. Always at peace with
one, while warring with the other, Russia, even at
this moment, is successful in holding Persia aloof
from Turkey, and, by the steady exercise of this
policy, she has crept, foot by foot, and mile by
mile, stealthily, upon the territory of both. Ever
watchful of her own interests, she has, through
the operation of diplomacy and the agency of
arms, acquired such a frontier on the mountain
range of the Caucasus, as, in the estimation of
Baron Haxthausen, " but for natural obstacles;
would lay Persia, as well as Asiatic Turkey, de-
fenceless, and entirely in the power of a suffi-
ciently large Russian army." Such a position of
affairs is one for very grave consideration by the
British Government. Many years ago it was
proclaimed—and the impression is as yet far,
very far, from being obliterated—that Russia had
a robber's eye upon our Indian territory, and was
looking out for a highway by which she might
rush upon it as a prey. If it be true that she
has, as stated by our author, obtained such a
frontier as places Persia " entirely in the power
of a sufficiently Russian army," she has indeed
opened a large portion of the highway which she
courts the possession of. True, the movements
of " a sufficiently large army" in the direction
indicated, if started from Moscow, or any other
portion of central Russia in Europe, would be a
difficult, if not an impossible task. If she be
successful in transferring her centre of action,
and her seat of Government, to the sea-board of
the Euxine, the difficulty must almost vanish.
With a powerful fleet, such as that she held at
Sebastopol—and that, large as it was, would, no
doubt, be speedily augmented—the transport of
an army to the Persian frontier would be an
object of comparatively easy attainment. The
purpose once fairly embarked in, though often
baffled, would be persevered in till absolute suc-
cess had crowned the nefarious enterprise. Thou-
sands upon thousands of her scarcely-naturalised
children would, no doubt, be sacrificed in the
attempt ; but Russia has never been economical
of human life ; on the contrary, she has ever
been prodigal to recklessness in pushinc, her
legions forward to combat against foes, and the
yet more fatal conflict with climate and the ele-
ments. Such considerations are of vital im-
portance in the present crisis of affairs. The first
endeavour to impose upon Russia a retrogressive
action has commenced in they Crimea ; and the
safety of our Indian empire, not less than the
integrity of Turkey, imposes on us the necessity
of for ever -expelling Russian prows from the
Black Sea—and, if we are politic and wise, a
similar expulsion from the comparatively unim-
portant Caspian. The Baron looks with a steady
eye upon the
CONSEQUENCES OP THE PRESENT STRUGGLE.
Two obstacles indeed there are, and only two, to this
advance of Russia,—England and the mountain races of
the Caucasus. But for these impediments, Russia would
unquestionably be able, by a great effort, to advance her

by several men and robbed not only of the box containing

NAVIGATION OP THE DARDANELLES.—The Ottoman Go- .
vernment has just adopted a measure long required by seamen.
The Porte has charged Captain Michel, of the Imperial
" Messageries," to erect on the coasts of Asia mid Europe,
from the Dardanelles as far as the Black Sea, a chain of light-
houses, which will enable vessels in future to pass through the
straits, and recognise the lands, the approaches to which were
rendered excessively dangerous by the absence of lights.
Captain Michel has engaged to execute the works and cause
the apparatus to be fitted up in each before the month of
January. At a later period, the system of beacons and light-
houses will be made general, and everything induces us to
hope that before a few years are over the coasts of the empire
and the islands of the Turkish Archipelago will no longer
present any of those dangers that seamen both of the navy
-and the merchant service have for a long time complained of.
The Ottoman Government has published a notice.to the effect
that a government steamer will for two months be employed
gratuitously in towing vessels and boats laden with wood and
coal for Constantinople through the Bosphorus, which they
cannot now pass in safety, in consequence of the strong

THE LAW OF RAILWAYS.—On Friday, at the Huddersfield
Railway Station, a scene occurred which caused some excite-
ment amongst those present. A passenger had travelled
from Manchester by the seven o'clock p.m. train, which is
third class as far as Huddersfield, and afterwards first and
second class. As the gentleman wished to proceed as far as
Mirfield, he inquired whether he should get out and book by
second class to that place, but was told that he could not be
allowed either to purchase a ticket or remain in the com-
pany's carriages without one. He, however, was determined
to test the matter, and entered a second-class train, signifying
at the same time his intention to pay second-class fare from,
Huddersfield to Mirfield. On arriving at Mirfield, and ten-
dering the second-class fare from Huddersfield to that place,
it was refused, and a demand made for second-class fare from
Manchester. He would not pay that amount, alleging that
he had already paid the company for conveying him between
Manchester and Huddersfield. It is stated that the magiS:
trates will be called on to decide the matter.—Huddersfield
Examiner.

ME inauguration of the Lord Mayor of London took place
on Friday, with the usual ceremonies. The chief points of in-
terest belonging to the affair are the speeches of the French
Ambassador and Lord Palmerston, with reference to the war ;
and the reception of Lord John Russell, who was fairly extin-
guished.
In acknowledgment of the toast of " The"` Emperor
of the French," the French Ambassador spoke, in the
French language, to the following effect :—" I thank you,
my Lord Mayor, for having proposed in this place the
toast which has just been so warmly applauded. It is now
thirty-fire years since the first Napoleon expressed his re-
gret at not being able to conquer the prejudices of the two
peoples, or to gain the friendship of England. ' What great
things,' cried he, ' could we not do together ?' My lord, these
great things have now been accomplished, for the happiness
and security of the world. The tomb of the great Napoleon
has received the pious visit of your illustrious Queen, and un-
der another Napoleon, who understood the true interests of his
country, France has become the intimate ally of England. But
that is not all. Our alliance rests not solely on accidental cir-
cumstances, but on the closest reciprocity of interests as be-
tween the two peoples—interests so intermingled, that neither
happiness nor misfortune could touch the one without imme-
diately affecting the other. When two countries have arrived
at such a point, their alliance is protected from all kinds of
intrigues. No human power can separate two countries so
affected, and when we think of the union of our two countries
—the one the most distinguished for maritime power, the
other for military resource—we feel satisfied that in their alli-
ance we see the greatest amount of power that ever existed,
and we can wait in the most complete security the issue of
the war."_
In reply to the toast of " Lord Pahnerston and Her Ma-
jesty's Ministers,', the latter said,—On behalf of my colleagues,
and for myself, I beg you to accept our cordial thanks for the
honour you have done us in proposing this toast, and especially
for the,very kind and flattering manner in which that toast
has been received. It must be always most gratifying to
those who enjoy the confidence of the Crown; to be received
at the hospitable board of the chief magistrate of this great
city. Those persons who are charged with the conduct of
public affairs must indeed be inadequate to the performance
of the duty that devolves on them, if they were insensible to
the feelings of that great commercial body, which is so fully
represented by those who now sit within these walls. My
lord, commercial enterprise is one of the main foundations of
the greatness and power of this nation. In peace, the enter-
prising and exploring spirit of commerce diffuses civilization,
I by promoting the intercourse of nations, thus throwing down
the barriers that divide people from people; while, when war
unfortunately takes place, as in the course of human events
we must expect sometimes to be the case, commerce then fur-
nishes the means by which war can be successfully carried on,
so as ultimately to obtain a safe, honourable, and lasting peace.
It must always be the noblest aspiration that could possibly
fill the mind of man to be entrusted with the conduct of the
affairs of a great nation like this • but if ever there was a mo-
ment when those who are charged feel peculiarly proud of
the honour conferred, and also peculiarly sensible of the great
responsibility which such an honourable charge imposes, that
moment is the present, for never did a nation present a nobler
spectacle to the world than does the British nation at this
moment. We have entered into a great contest, not rashly or
MURDER OF A SURGEON.—Another horrid murder has
been committed within a few miles of Newcastle. Mr. Stir-
ling, surgeon, under thirty years of age, who came from
Scotland about three weeks ago, and was engaged as an assist-
ant to Mr. Watson, a surgeon at Burnopfield, a village about
seven miles from Newcastle. He left the surgery on Thurs-
day, the Ist inst., in the forenoon, and went out to visit some
patients at Spen, about three miles off, in the direction of
Gibside. He had made the visits, and was returning to Bur-
nopfield, but never reached there, the place where he was
murdered being about one mile off. The last time he was
seen alive was at one o'clock iu the afternoon, when he de-
parted from the last of the patients he had to visit. His not
returning home that night was matter of suspicion; and his
continued absence suggested the idea that he mightpossibly
have returned to his parents, who reside in or near Glasgow.
They were written to, and his father, alarmed at the intelli-
gence of his son's disappearance, immediately came over to
Burnopfield. On Tuesday, in examining a wood through
which the young man had to pass, not far from Gibside, and
about a mile from Burnopfield, his body was found by his
distressed parent ; when it was discovered that he had been
robbed and murdered. It appeared that he had been shot in
the groin, then beaten about the head, and his face was dread-
fully mutilated. His watch, a ring which he wore, and his
.purse, had been taken away. He was well educated, gentle-
manly in his manners, and belonged to a family of great
respectability.—Newcastle Messenger.
HORRIBLE STORY.—On Sunday, the 4th inst.,, a painful
sensation was caused in this town by the prevalence of a re-
port that a child had been worried by a dog. The child was
the son of Mr. Marshall, who occupied one of. some recently
erected houses in Sherwood-street, opposite the Clinton Arms.
A few minutes before 11 o'clock on Sunday morning, the child,
who was three years and a-half old, was playing with a brother
about a year older, in the back yard, in which a thorough-bred
bulldog was usually kept chained. At that time, however,
the animal was loose, and the children were lifting it into a
a small wheelbarrow, when it is supposed they managed to
trap one of the dog's feet. Immediately after the inmates of
the house were alarmed by hearing a piercing shriek, and, on
going into the passage, a horrible sight presented itself. The
dog was worrying the child as it lay in the corner, and such
was its ferocity that, to use the expression of an eye-witness, it
grandmother and a nurse•girl, raised au alarm, and the former,
was like a terrier fastening itself upon a rat. The child's
who was joined by Mrs. Marshall, seized a poker and the
tongs, and tried to beat the dog off, but without success. In
the meantime the father, who heard the cries from the top of
the house, and a butcher named Jackson, mounted over a high
wall and leaped into the yard. It seemed to them as if the
dog's nose was literally buried in the child's face ; Mr. Jackson
seized the animal by its hind-quarters, while Mr. Marshall
opened its jaws, and the former then threw it over the wall.
The dog, which was covered with blood, immediately ran
round to the front, and was observed to smell two children as
it passed them. The child being brought into the house, it
was found that his right ear was completely bitten off; there
were marks of the dotes teeth on the other ear, across the
nose, and on both the eyelids, while a fearful slit extended
from the right eye down to the mouth, and one of 'the fingers
was lacerated. The wounds were bandaged up, and, as the
child soon began to show signs of returning consciousness,
some hopes were entertained of saving his life. The animal
was killed the same morning.—Nottingham Journal.
PAUL, STRA.HAN, AND BATES.—The course pursued in the
case of Anderson the forger, and Cole the merchant, will be
carried out in the case of these convicts. It will be to keep
them in Newgate whilst the.proceedings in bankruptcy are
pending, and, should they be protracted over a period longer
than the authorities of the Home-office deem it advisable that
they should remain where they are, they will be removed to
Millbank-prison. Upon their being removed back to gaol,
after their conviction, they were put into prison attire, but
they have not their hair cut close, neither is there any correc-
tionary labour they will be put to. Prisoners in Newgate are
confined in separate cells, except when taken to exercise, and
there is no chance in this gaol of there being any special relax-
ation.oLthe_rules towards these_prisoners. For the first three
or four,days subsequent to their convietionthe prisoners were
in a desponding state, but have since becomeieingned to their
fate. Sir John Dean Paul is grandson to old .Dr. Paul, who
lived and died in lodgings opposite St. James's Church. His
father married the daughter of Lady Ann Simpson, niece to
the Earl of Strathmore. He died a very poor-man, his estate
of Rodborough having been sold in his lifetime to meet his
liabilities. By his mother's connexion, the delinquent banker
is first cousin to the present Lord Ravensworth, the Hon.
Augustus and Adolphus Liddell, the rector of St. Paul's,
,Knightsbridge, the Countess of Hardwicke, Viscountess Bar-
rington, Lady Bloomfield, and the Hon. Mrs. Villiers, sister-
in-law to the Earl of Clarendon. He married a daughter of
Charles.Beauderk, Esq., of Horshani. One of Sir John's own
sisters is married to a first cousin of the Duke of Leinster, and
his son, Aubery, to a daughter of Sir John Lister Kaye, Bart.

hastily, but after full and due deliberation, and we have en-
tered into that contest because we felt that the war was a
necessary as well' as a great one, and this nation evinces from
one end of the country to the other, a full and deliberate
determination to submit to every sacrifice which the prosecu-
tion of the war may entail, to show themselves equal to every
exertion that the conduct of the war may require, sand con-
tinue those exertions until peace shall be obtained on such
conditions as may be worthy of our sacrifices and of the cause
we have at heart. We have present, on this occasion, the re-
presentatives of those three allies with whom we are united
in a common undertaking. We have at this board the am-
bassador of the Emperor of the French, of-that great ally
whom I must do the justice to say that by his",magnanimity
of mind, his far-seeing policy, and his honesty of ,purpose, has
cemented the union between the two nations which had been
too long divided by jealousy and mistrust, but which, I hope,
will ever from this day forward continue to be earnest and
confiding friends. • We have at this board also the representa-
tive of the Sultan, in whose cause we have drawn the sword,
and whose subjects have shown themselves so worthy the
assistance we have given them. We have present the ambas-
sador of the King of Sardinia, whose character as a sovereign,
and the character of whose people, have excited the warmest
sympathy throughout this nation, whose conduct has excited
our warmest admiration, and in whose good faith we place the
most implicit confidence. I trust, gentlemen, that these re-
presentatives of our allies, let them go where they will through
the length and breadth of the land, will see nothing that will
not entitle them to tell their respective sovereigns that, whilst
we place the utmost confidence and reliance on the constancy
with which they support us in the war, they may, on the
other hand, be equally certain of the constancy, and determi-
nation of this country. And no man can doubt that these
four powers, earnest in a cause, will ultimately accomplish the
objects for which they took up arms. I say that no human
efforts can be long successful in resisting their united exer-
tions. The declarations with reference to the' war were loudly
cheered.
A subsequent toast was " The House of Commons," coupled
with the name of Lord John Russell. The announcement of
the name excited general disapprobation, which rose to a com-
plete storm of groans and hisses when he rose to respond to
the toast. The reception was such as he seemed not to have
anticipated, judging by the astonishment marked on his coun-
tenance ; and after uttering a few indistinct phrases about the
Lord Mayor's election to office being a triumph of principle,
he abruptly resumed his seat.

MEDICAL ADVICE.
•
DR: FRANKLIN, Member of the Royal College
of Surgeons, of the Faculte de Medecine tie 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. Src._, 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 to 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 relatinig ,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,
I &c., in the hands of such empirics. A list of pretenders in Liver-
pool sent on application.
Persons at .a7aistance will be minute in the detail of their cases;
and no letters from etrangers 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.

THE . MIRACULOUS REMEDY!!!
HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT.
TEN YEARS' INTERMITTENT ATTACKS OF ERYSIPELAS
EFFECTUALLY CURED.
Copy of a Letter
•fr•ora Mrs. H. Trimmer, of Compton,
• " near• Winchester, dated 13th Sept., 1853.
To Professor Holloway.—Sir,-1 suffered for a period of ten.
years (until the last six months) with the most dreadful inter•
mittent attacks of Erysipelas, which confined me to my bed
during the whole of the summer mouths in each year. I consulted
the most eminent medical gentlemen in Winchester, but was
from time to-time doomed to be disappointed in my hopes of
obtaining any relief to my sufferings, although I complied strictly
with the directions my advisers gave me. At length I was per-•
'suaded to give your Ointment and Pills atrial by a female friend
who had been cured of a bad leg by using them ; to my surprise
and delight, a change for the better was quickly produced, and in
a very short time they caused the Erysipelas totally to disappear,
and my health was entirely resuscitated, which has remained good
ever since.—l am, &c., (Signed (HARRIET TRIMMER.
ASTOUNDING CURE OF SCROFULA.
Wm. Pogue, of Emyvale (a man well known in that neighbour-
hood), was afflicted for three years with Scrofula on the left arm :
there were four ulcers which discharged continuously, and reduced
the poor fellow to a mere skeleton. He was for a long time under
the care of one medical gentleman, and consulted many others,
but derived no benefit whatever. At last he had recourse to
Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and by persevering with these
remedies, in the course of eight weeks his arm was completely
well, and his health thoroughly reestablished.—The truth of this
statement can be verified by many of the inhabitants of Emyvale,
and particularly by Mr. Patrick McKenna, druggist, of that place.
ASTONISHING CURE OF AN ULCERATED LEG AFTER
THREE HOSPITALS FAILED!
Copy of a Letter from Mr. W. Hare, of Exeter, dated
22nd September, 1854.
To ProfessorHolloway,—A man named Wm. Hall, in the employ
of Mr. C. Sclater, nurseryman, of this city, has desired me to make
known to you the benefit he has received from using your Oint-
ment and Pills. For three years this poor man suffered terrible
with a severely ulcerated leg, and during this time be sought
relief at Guy's, King's College, and the Devon and Exeter Hos-
pitals, and was finally toll by a Surgeon that amputation of the
limb was . necessary to save his life ; , however, instead of this
advice, he immediately had recourse to your Ointment and Pills,

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 sees -fully oue third, as two pounds-at the Empire Soap will
go as far as three pounds of any other soaps; we should also lose
Our proitt on soda and washing powders, as neither of these
articles-are required when the Empire Soapsis used, in either Cie
hardestwater or in sea water." What the grocers are displeased
at in this soap is its strongest recommemlation to the notice )1
the large consumers, private families, hotel keepers, laundresses,
&c. reepoires to be used with a tight:bend. And besides
the above advantage it saves half the usual.labour, consequenCy
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 is a 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 wholesale at the Works, N0..22; Cherry-lane, and

OFFICIAL DESPATCHES•
A supplement to the London Gazette of Tuesday contains
a despatch from General Simpson, dated Sebastopol, Oct. 23rd.-
The chief interest of this despatch is comprised in "the follow,
ing extract :
I have reason to believe that the greater portion rJf the
Turkish Contingent are now assembled at Kertch. No, further
intelligence has been received from Kinburn. • The health of
the army continues very good. A few cases of c:nolera have
occurred during the past week, but it is confined entirely to
the new ewers. • The despatch refers to the English expe-
dition to .an, and a report from Brigadier-General Spencer
is enclosed, containing an account of the operations of the
force under his command, to October 19, which consisted of
103 officers, 247 sergeants, 86 drummers, 4,224 rank and file,
33 sick, and 120 horses.
Prom the Second Supplement to the London Gazette of
Tuesday.)
WAR DEPARTMENT, Nov. S.
Lord ranmure has this day received a despatch and its
enclosures, of which the following are copies, addressed to
his Lordship by General Sir James Simpson, G.C.B. :
SEBISTOPOL, Oct. 27.
My Lord,—l have the honour to transmit a copy of a letter
I have received from Brigadier-General the Hon. A. Spencer,
informing me of the return of the force under his command
to Kinburn, after having made a short reconnaissance.
As it has been decided that the French will garrison the
fort, the English troops will return here, and I expect them
about the 3rd of November.
I have to report the arrival, on the 26th instant, of a de-
tachment of prisoners to the number of 132, from Odessa,
where the greater part of them arrived on the 24th of
September.
Among them is Lieutenant James, of the Royal Engi-
neers, who was taken on the night of the 2nd of July.; he
has been kept at Riazan, and reports having been very well
treated by the Russians.
The prisoners have been kept at Voronetz, on the D on
and when they left there were only two remaining, who were
sick, and 51 deserters. I transmit the nominal list of
the men. 1
the command of Genera
The force from Enpatoria, under
d'Allonville, made a reconnaissance on the 22nd inst. They
fell in with a large force of the enemy, and offered them battle.
The Russians, however, retreated before them after an ex-
change of a few rounds with the horse artillery.
I beg to enclose a copy of the report of Brigadier-General
Lord George Paget, in command of the English cavalry at
that place.
I have the honour to report the departure of all the Turkish
force that was here, for Asia, with the exception of some ar-
tillery, which has been transferred to the Contingent.
The weather continues magnificent, and the health of the
troops all that can, be desired.
I have, &c.,
JAMES SIMPSON, General Commanding.
The Lord Panmure, &c.
(Enclosure 1.)
KIICIIIIRIq, Oct. 24.
Sir,—l have the honour to report, for the information of
the Commander-in-Chief, that the troops under my command,
as per margin,* returned yesterday evening from the recon-
naissance they made in company with the French army.
The force left Kinburn on the 20th instant, bivouacked that
night and the following at the village of Patowffka (8 miles,)
proceeded thence to the village of Schadoffka, which the allies
burnt. A good many farms, all deserted, and a great quan-
tity of bay were also destroyed.
On our return yesterday about 250 of the enemy's cavalry
menaced our rear. _ _
The troops are very healthy.
At a conference held to-day it has been determined that the
fort of Kinburn is to be occupied for the winter by. French
troops, and it is expected that the English troops will embark
for the Crimea on the Ist of November.—l have, &c.,
A. SPB7ICEII, Brigadier-General.
The. Military Secretary, Head-quarters, Crimea. .
(Enclosure 3.)
ETTATORIA, Oct. 26.
Sir —I have the honour to report that the allied troops sta-
tioned here, under the command of General of Division d'Al-
lonville, marched from Eupatoria on Monday morning, the
22nd instant.
The force advanced in two columns, the details of which are
in the margin,* the one taking a northerly direction, and
skirting towards the east of the lake Susik Guiloie, until it ar-
rived at the village of Karagurt; the other proceeding by the
'strip of land between that lake and the sea to the town of Sak.
The Light Cavalry Brigade and troop of Horse Artillery
under my command formed part of the first-mentioned
column, which was commanded by General d'Allonville him-
self.
We marched at daybreak, and arrived at Karagurt (18
miles) about 4 p.m., when we bivouacked for the night, and
which, before leaving, we destroyed.
When we had advanced within about three miles of this
village we came in presence of a force of about 20 squadrons
of Russian cavalry, who retired before us, after some shots
from the French Horse Artillery, which told with some effect.
On the morning of the 23rd we proceeded, at daybreak, in
a southerly direction, passing close to the village of Temesch,
where we came in sight of a body of Russian cavalry, consi-
derably superior in numbers to that we had seen the evening
before, a strong force of guns, and, I believe, some battalions
of infantry.
This body also retired before us, at a considerable distance,
while we continued our advance to the village of Tuzla, on a
rising ground to the left of which village General d'Allon-
ville took up a position and offered battle, Captain Thomas's
troop of Horse Artillery firing several rounds with precision,
which were answered by the enemy without effect..
After waiting here for two hours, and seeing that the
enemy were effecting a further retreat, General d'Allonville
formed a junction with the column under Mushir Achmet
Pasha, at the town of Sak, where we bivouacked, destroying
the town and considerable Russian cantonments.
On the 4th instant (yesterday), we returned to Eupatoria by
the sea coast road.
On the first day's march the French cavalry were in front—
the English cavalry in support—the Turkish cavalry on our
left flank. On the second day the cavalry under my command
were in advance, supported by the French cavalry—the
Turkish cavalry on. our left flank.
I bave great satisfaction in stating that General d'Allon-
ville expressed to me his approval of the manner in which the
cavalry I have the honour to command manceuvred in the
field, as, likewise, of the good practice of our Horse Artillery ;
and I may, perhaps, be permitted to express my acknow._
ledgments of the courtesy evinced towards me, and the troops
under my command, by the general, during the time we Were
in the field, and since we landed at Eupatoria.
I beg to enclose you a return of casualties,t caused by ex-
haustion, from the want of water, of which there was a very
great scarcity everywhere.
Captain Hamilton, Royal Navy, has requested me to inform
you that the French brig of war Alm:tette and her Majesty's
ship Diamond co-operated with the troops on this occasion ;
but that he, finding a sailing vessel unhandy on this service,
placed the guns and men of the Diamond on board the steam-
transport Oneida, from which he fired on the flanks, and on
some advanced pickets of the enemy.--I have, &c.,

"Nothing venture, nothing have."
AN old saying this, but true ; and applicable to
every position of life. Man is a moral agent, and in
the exercise of a free will finds himself surrounded by
manifold difficulties and apparent impossibilities.
Hence, it follows that enterprise and speculation is
given rise to. Yes, "to hope even against hope." To
venture one's all becomes in many cases the only road
to final success.
It is, however, by all means necessary to guard
against that utter recklessness or fool-hardiness which
distinguishes the improvident rather than the earnest
e ekers after a laudable object. Our proverb gives no

MEDICAL ADVICE.
DR. FRANKLIN, Member of the Royal College
of Surgeons, of the Faculte de Medecine de Paris, and
Honorary Member of the College of Physicians, Washington, ar.d
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 to 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,
1 &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 .el_byfost-officeorder or otherwise, when Advice and Medi-
cines will be sent securely packed from observation or accident.
Post-office Orders to be made payable to JOSEPH BELL

THE MIRACULOUS REMEDY!!!
HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT.
TEN YEARS' INTERMITTENT AT FACKS OF ERYSIPELAS
EFFECTUALLY CURED.
Copy of a Letter from Mrs. If. Trimmer, of Compton,
near Winchester, dated 13th Sept., 1533.
To Professor Holloway.—ziir,—l suffered for a period of ten
years (until the last six months) with the most dreadful inter-
mittent attacks of Erysipelas, which confined me to my bed
during the whole of the summer months in each year. I consulted
the most eminent medical gentlemen in Winchester, but was
from time to time doomed to be disappointed in my hopes of
obtaining any. relief to my sufferings, although I complied strictly
with the directions my advisers gave me. At length I was per-
suaded to give your Ointment and Pills a trial by a female friend
who had been cured of a bad leg by using them ; to my surprise
and delight, a change for the better. was quickly produced, and in
a very short time they caused the Erysipelas totally to disappear,
and my health was entirely resuscitated, which has remained good
ever since.—! am, &c., (signed (HARRIET TRIMMER.
ASTOUNDING CURE OF SCROFULA.
Wm. Pogue, of Emyvale (a man well known in that neighbour.
hood), was afflicted for three years pith Scrofula on the left arm :
there were four ulcers which discharged continuously, and reduced
the poor fellow to a mere skeleton. Ile was for a long time under
the care of one medical gentleman, and consulted many others,
but derived no benefit whatever. At last he had recourse to
Holloway's Ointment and tills. and by persevering with these
remedies, in the course of eight Weeks his arm was completely
well, and his health thoroughly reestablished.--The truth of this
statement can be verified by many of the inhabitants of Eroyvale,
and particularly by Mr. Patrick McKenna, druggist, of that place.
ASTONISHING CURE OF AN ULCERATED LEG AFTER

Copy of a Letter from Mr. W. Hare, of Exeter, dated
22nd September, 1834.
To Professor H olloway,—A man named Wm. Hall, in the employ
of Mr. C. Sclater, nurseryman, of this city, has desired me to make
known to you the benefit he has received front using your Oint-
ment and Pills. For three years this poor man suffered terrible
with a severely ulcerated leg, and during this time he sought
relief at Guy's, King's College, and the Devon and Exeter Hos-
pitals, and was finally told by a Surgeon that amputation of the
limb was necessary to save his life ; however, instead of this
advice, lie immediately had recourse to your Oihtinent and Pills,
and they have done bins more.good than all the other medicines
put together, he tieing now able to follow his occupation, and
rapidly gaining health anti strength.-1 ren.ain, Scc.,

RUSSIAN OPERATIONS ON THE NORTH
SIDE.
The same correspondent, writing on the same day, says :
All the tents which were sprinkled on the sloping side of
the height on the north side have disappeared. The pyramids
of sacks, and the greater part of the hay, have been moved
further to the eastward towards Inkerman heights, most
probably to ensure their safety from the effects of our fire.
Excepting the parties working at the batteries, scarcely any
one is to be seen moving about. The moving to and fro of
arabas is almost entirely stopped. Further away, to the
north-eastward, there are encampments of white tents, but
they appear considerably diminished in numbers compared
with what they used to be during the siege. This appearance,
however, is deceptive—for on examining the position through
a glass, it can be distinguished that the greater part of the
troops are hutted. As these huts, which are partly under-
ground, are of the same colour as the ground around them,
being apparently constructed of wattling and mud, with
thatched roofs of the same materials, they are not readily
distinguished. As to the troops themselves, like our men,
they seem to be having the advantge of a little exercise in
battalion movements, and it is asserted that they have been
seen also engaged at target practice.

THE WAR.
INTELLIGENCE from the seat of war in the Crimea becomes
daily more meagre. Incidents of importance enough to arrest
the attention of the special correspondents of the daily jour-
nals are seemingly of rare occurrence ; and a nearly equal
scarcity of events is characteristic of the official despatches.
Under these circumstances speculation on probabilities and
retrospection of past occurrences fill to a great extent the still
voluminous accounts furnished by newspaper correspondents.
The Times' special correspondent, writing from the Fourth
Division Camp, on the 25th of October, gives the following
account of an
INTERCHANGE OF CIVILITIES BETWEEN
SOME BRITISH SAILORS AND THE
RUSSIAN AUTHORITIES,
The inhabitants of the little village of Karani (says he),
situate about midway between Balalilava and the Monastery
of St. George, who had remained tranquil in their habitations
during the whole of the siege of Sebastopel, receiving for a
part, if not for the whole of the time, rations from the allies,
to save them from starvation, expressed a wish, since the fall
of the place, to be transferred to a point of the Crimea occupied
by the Russians. Communications were made to the enemy
and arrangements made to that effect, and on Saturday last
they were embarked for Kaffa. Prince Victor of Hohenlohe
was in command of the vessel that took them, and was accom-
panied by Major Ross and by some other officers, who went as
amateurs. Hango not being yet forgotten, due precautions
were, of course, taken, and strict formality observed. Off
Kaffa a Russian officer came on board to arrange about land-
ing the emigrants. He remained to luncheon, and, on its
being intimated by some of the English that they did not ex-
pect to be allowed to land, he thought it possible they might,
and, finally, land they did. No sooner had they got on shore
than they were surrounded by a crowd, including a immber of
Cossacks, who came down full speed. .Each one of them was
forthwith elevated upon a high Cossack saddle—rather an
awkward seat for equestrians unaccustomed to such machines
—and away they went at a scamper. Everything
was done Cossack fashion—full gallop. 'they were taken to
the country-house of Prince Gagarin, about two miles from
shore, and were there courteously received by the Prince him-
self; a man of some 60 years of age, minus a leg, which he
lost when campaigning in the Caucasus, and who went about
on crutches. The Prince spoke French, and told them he
understood English. Chairs and a table were brought out
of the country-house (over which the visitors were shown),
and wine and fruit were placed before them, whereof they
partook. The conversation was well sustained, and, judging
from the account of it given me by an officer present, almost
cordial. Subjects connected with the war were not altogether
excluded, and incidents of the siege were related. In the
course of the conversation the Russian officer who had gone
on board said something to Prince Gagarin, in which the
English present distinguished the word " Kinburn." The
Prince replied by a passionate exclamation, unintelligible to
his foreign guests, and presently asked them what was the
latest news. " Nothing from England," was the reply, " but
in the Crimea the attack upon and capture of Kinburn."
The Prince appeared to feel the intelligence painfully, but
merely shrugged his shoulders, and remarked that it was " /a
fortune de la guerre." He informed them of rather a curi-
ous fact, which was, that by the great explosion of the French
magazine in the Manielon, at the end of August, persons in
Sebastopol were killed and wounded. When they returned
on board he sent them a supply of wine and grapes, which
they had expressed a wish to purchase before they knew that
they would be allowed to land, and requested some tea in re-
turn. Tea, cheese, and other things that it was thought
might be acceptable were sent to him, and thus terminated
this friendly little episode of the war. The officers returned
to Balaklava on Tuesday, much pleased with their trip. I
omitted to mention that they were permitted to see and con-
verse with two of the men of the 10th Hussars made prisoners
in the late skirmish at Kertch.
The same correspondent, writing on the 27th, in reference to
the state of feeling in the Camp, and • the anticipations as to
future events, says :
Now the excitement caused by the hope of offensive opera-
tions and by the uncertainty in which every one was kept
about his own movements has subsided, and all sanguine ex-
pectations of victories and rewards have sobered down, the
allied camp begins more and more to assume the character of
a cantonment. As visions of glory are:laid aside for the year,
thoughts of comfort begin to arise in every mind.
Naturally enough, comfort suggests the idea of home ; those
who cannot indulge in this are thinking of making their win-
ter establishment as snug as possible. There seems to be not
much faith in huts, so whoever can contrive it puts up a stone
house, which is the height of ambition of every comfort-seek-
ing individual. There was once a pleasant fancy, which arose
in looking at the white houses of Sebastopol, and theatres,
clubs, and even balls were not thought impossible for this
winter; but what with our shot and shell, and the bonfire
kindled by the Russians before they left the town, very little
beyond the four smoky and loopholed walls remains of most of
these dwellings, and the difficulty of quartering the army in
the town arises not so much from the fire of the north side—
although that would not have been without its drawbacks
either—but from the circumstance that it would require more
labour to repair those ruins than to make the armies comfort-
able on their old camping ground. But the ruins of Sebasto-
pol, although they are not available for quarters, are rich in
beams, planks, doors, windows, locks, and many other articles
which are eargerly coveted by everyone in the camp, and
especially by those who aspire to stone houses. Here, where
no fixed laws of construction prevail to the detriment of
originality, individual taste has full scope, and it is curious
to see how much more strongly this shows itself in the En-
glish than in any other corps. In the French and Sardinian
camps one pattern, with a few modifications, serves for every-
one, while in the English each man follows his individual
taste, and there are consequently as many different styles of
architecture as there are architects. This variety prevails
not only where individual taste is the lawgiver, but even
where the single regiments ereet works of public utility—for
instance, cook-houses.
The next best accommodation for winter, after the stonehouse,
is considered an underground hut; and whoever has the good
fortune of possessing one from last year trusts to it, and makes
only the necessary repairs, while others are in the course of
excavation. They require less labour and material than the
stone houses, so many who cannot get these latter content
themselves with the more primitive construction. Wooden
huts are the pis aller. Only those who cannot afford either
a stone mansion or an underground hut resign themselves to
wait for them. They are, however, late in making their ap-
pearance. Scarcely a single hut has yet been erected, beyond
those which existed last winter, so that many even of the old
regiments have not more than half-a-dozen of them ; in the
regiment* which arrived in spring and in summer there are
none at all.
Most of those which have stood since the beginning of this
year have to undergo a thorough repair. The new ones which
are sent out now seem not much better. I saw one the other
day which had been quite recently erected ; all the wood is
cracked and full of crevices, and the knots falling out fast,
leaving circular holes which produce a very pretty effect when
the sun's rays pass through them, but which do not promise
much comfort for the winter.
I have not seen the double-boarded ones erected, but all the
others require sundry contrivances to make them air and
water tight before they will afford much shelter. It is a pretty
general opinion that a double tent well excavated would be
much more comfortable. The latter has the advantage that it
is not so frequently chosen as a sporting ground by rats and
mice, which have increased incredibly since the fall of Sebas-
topol. It was not so much felt when there were plenty of pro-
visions still remaining in their old quarters, but since the
town has begun to be cleared out a grand migration seems to
have taken place in our direction, and cats are at a higher
premium now than ever.
Besides road-making and hutting attention is turned to
getting up provisions to the general storehouse erected behind
the Second Division, ss well as to the divisional storehouses,
so that any interruption of the traffic from unforeseen circum-
stances may not have any prejudicial effect on the supplies of
the army. Even the transport mules have a brighter prospect
before them than the few which remain from last year could
have anticipated, There are arrangements made in each divi-
sion for stabling them.
Thus, you see, care for comfort has banished for the moment
all other ideas. This is the case not only in the English
army before Sebastopol, but all along our extended line. From
all we can see, the last directions about the positions which
the allied armies are going to keep during the winter, have
been given, and all the movements going on are rather to re-
gulate the details than with a view of making any material
changes. The position chosen is certainly such that very
little fear can be entertained of any disturbance from the Rus-
sians. Both armies will be opposite to each other on a series
of heights, with only a few accessible points, and separated by
a kind of neutral ground formed in part by the Tchernaya
valley, which, as soon as the rains begin, will be a most effec-
tual barrier to an attack from either side, and on our right by
the low range of hills which form the banks of the Upper
Belbek before it enters the defile near Albaud. The road over
Alsn, which, as I told you in my last letter, the French were
constructing to connect their position on the heights of Ozem-
bash with the rest of the line, is progressing rapidly, and will
be available in a short time.
The apprehension of a Russian attack seems to have com-
pletely ceased for the time being, but the troops still turn out
for parade before sunrise. As a great part, principally of the
English army, has to go out every day for fatigue parties, this
is the only parade they ever have, and I suppose it is kept up
more for this than for any other reason.
