OPERATIONS ON THE DNIEPER.
The Invalide Russe publishes a continuation of the tele-
graphic despatches sent from Nicholaieff to St Petersburg, by
order of the Emperor :
NICHOLAIIPP, Oct. 26, 10.45 p.m.
During the last twenty-four hours there has been no change
in the position of the enemy, though the number of their
steamers, gunboats, and floating batteries in, the road of Oc-
zakoff has slightly increased. The movements observed yes-,
terday between the three points of their anchorage have con-
tinued to-day.
The enemy has burnt the hamlets on the Spit of Kinburzt,
which, however, were already deserted, the inhabitants
having abandoned them, taking with them all their cattle
and carrying off all their property. The enemy has made no
movement nor attempted any other operation on land.
Lieut.-General Zadousky yesterday made a reconnaissance
beyond the village of Vassilievka, and advanced as far as the
enemy's outposts.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD

may have been its origin, a fixed article of reli-
gious faith. He gives the annexed sketch of
THE FOUNDER OF MtTRIDISM.
Moollah Mohammed was a man of an imposing ap-
pearance, tall and thin, with noble, dark and expressive
features, a lustrous black eye, though quite blind, from
long night study and watching, white hair, and a short
white beard. His mild and cheerful features, yet marked
by severe mental toil, indicated the learned Moollah, who
was also distinguished by the green turban, with its wide
blue over-garment. Never had blood stained his hands ;
his life was pure, hardly could sinful thoughts be imagined
to have entered his mind. The views which the Mosque
commanded over the broad green forests of Daghestan,
bounded on the far horizon by the blue waves of the
Caspian, early impressed on his youthful mind, had in
manhood, after he became blind, remained deeply graven
on his soul,—the outward world to him,—associated with
every thought of himself and of those attached to him.
He spent his life in religious observances, and in the
study of the holy hooks, which he expounded to his
disciples. And this pious, gentle, peaceable old man,
who appeared scarcely to be connected with the earth but
by the breath of life,—whose gentle voice was scarce
audible in perfect silence,—this man preached the uprising
of the people like one man,—preached a bloody and
relentless war, and ardent, inextinguishable hate ! His
trembling guiltless hands blessed the arms which he sent
forth to shed torrents of blood.
He treats his readers also with a lively history
of the progress of that great national movement
which owes its origin to the impulsive eloquence
of him whose portrait has been thus graphically
sketched. We must conclude our extracts from
this interesting work by the following
subject of an elaborate rather than an able
essay. The " Noctes" themselves, in their serial
issue, were wont to excite a marked sensation,
not merely in the Scottish capital, where they
were thoroughly understood and lavishly admired,
but also in lands beyond the border, in the sunny
south, and in districts far beyond our " sea-girt
isle ;" and now their republication is the signal
for a wonderment as large, an opinion as diversi-
fied as they encounterd in their birth. The con-
flicting opinions uttered respecting these won-
derful effusions are the most conclusive, as they
are certainly not the least singular testimonials of
their merits. One critic finds them loose in style,
another coarse ; a gingerly compounder of inof-
fensive literary confectionary pronounces them
decidedly vulgar, and denounces them as harsh ;
another concocter of dulcet adulation confesses he
is unable to understand the " doric" in which a
vast proportion of their beauties is enunciated ;
but all concur in attributing to them great power
in the use of the
" wit, and words, and worth,
Action and utterance, and the power of speech
To stir men's blood."
In the critique before us, we have one more to
add to the thousand and one portraits of Wilson,
the terror of charlatans, the champion and the
shield of genius. The portrait is not given with
familiar fidelity as to either the mental or the
physical man, but there is a dash of truth and
general vraisemblance in the following likeness of

RESCUE OP A SHIPWRECKED CREW.—On Wednesday
:morning, the brig Darlington, Captain Chicken, was towed
into the Southampton Water, and moored alongside the pier,
having on board the whole of the crew of the Minerva, con-
sisting of the captain, mate, and eight seamen, who were
-wrecked on- the Dogger Bank on the 31st ult. On that day
the Darlington, bound from Memel for Southampton, laden
with timber, while passing the Dogger Bank in a gale of
'avinkespied a bark in distress, which was found to be the
Minerva, laden with firewood, bound from Droback for
London. She was waterlogged, her mainmast was gone, and
her boats stove in ; while the crew, all of whom were Norwe-
gians, were clinging to-the wreck. The sea was running high,
and the weather was extremely boisterous ; but the captain of
the Darlington put his vessel about, and, running as near to
the wreck as possible, learnt the state of the crew, upon which
he- lowered his own boat, and, attaching a warp to-it, again
put about, and repassed the bark, allowing his own boat to. go
as near as possible to the doomed vessel,and thereby enabling
the crew to jump into the boat as she was passing. This was
done four successive times, and occupied a period of four
hours,. and by this means -the whole of the crew of the
Minerva were taken on board the Darlington, where every
attention wss paid them by -the humane and gallant captain.
The Darlington weathered the gale, and arrived on Wednes-
day With the loss of part of her bulwarks, and also a portion
of her deck 100. The s hipwrecked crew werecent to London
by the Norwegian consul at the port.

FIRE Ix A DISTILLERY.-011 Tuesday afternoon, a fire
broke:out in Leith distillery, which was attended with great
destruction of property. It is supposed to have arisen from
the air of the malt room having become impregnated with the
light malt dust falling from the rollers, which, from its deu-
sity and want of ventilation, appears to have caught fire at a
to an excise regulation, which came

charge upon the malted grain in distilleries, giving the dis-
tiller a drawback upon any less quantity of spirits produced,
but now the duty is not imposed till after distillation, and it is
to prevent any of the malted grain being surreptitiously car-
ried away for brewing purposes that the enclosure takes place
during the process of rolling. On this occasion there were
three men shut into the mill, each being engaged in different
stories. When the fire was perceived, they called loudly for
help, but, the doors being locked, no aid could at first be ren-
dered them, and some time elapsed before the excise officer
reached the spot and found the proper key. When the, door
was at length opened, no one could enter from the great heat
and smoke, and
.some fears were entertained for the men's
safety. Meanwhile, they had escaped by forcing a barricaded
window in the top of the building, one of them being a little
scorched by the flames before getting out. In a short tine,
the building was in a sheet of flame, a spirit receiver, contain-
ing 3,000 gallons, catching fire and adding fearfully to the fury
of the blaze. The fire was not extinguished till late in the

-Tux FRENCIT GRATE Cnor.—A letter from Bordeaux
says :—The vintage..of red wines is terminated. In all the
arrondissement of Rlaye only between 5,000 and 6,000 casks
have been obtained, instead of from 25,000 to 30,000, the yield
of an ordinary year ; and at St. Macaire only 1,200 casks, in-
stead of between 5,000 and 6,000. At Ambes and Montfer-
rand several owners of from 50 to 100 casks each have, not
made any vintage at all, owing to the small quantity of fruit.
On the whole, the yield of 1855 will only be a fifth of an ordi-
nary year.
DREADFUL OCCURRENCE.—A few days since a number of
persons were engaged in destroying rats in some farm build-
ings near Hatherleigh, in the north of Devon, and for that
purpose they used ferrets. While they were so employed
their attention was arrested by the piercing cries of a child,
which proceeded from an adjoining house. On rushing in
they were horrified to find a ferret in the cradle biting off the
flesh from the face of the infant. Before the animal could be
removed the poor child was dreadfully mangled ; the face
was altogether disfigured, and nearly all the nose eaten off.

COLLISION AT SEA.—Abont 8 o'clock on Monday morning,
while about 20 miles from Tynemouth Point, and on her
passage from Hamburg to the Tyne in ballast, the Danish
vessel Christiana Marie came into collision with the barque
Dumfries, of North Shields. The shock was fearful, and the
crew of the Danish vessel had only time to save a few things
and jump on board the barque, when their vessel sunk. They
have been landed at Shields, and are under the protection of
the Danish consul. The Dumfries was much injured. The
Rosendale screw collier reached the Tyne in tow of a tug on
Monday, with her funnel and niizenmast gone ; it has not
been ascertained how the accident happened. Seventy-eight
vessels arrived in the Tyne on Sunday night and Monday
morning.

RUSSIAN CRITICISM ON THE SIEGE.
The Russian papers contain an interesting article, entitled
" The Last Days of Sebastopol," from the pen of the author of
a previous one, called " First Impressions." The writer states,
from authority, that, so far back as the middle of August,
second and third lines of defence were constructed, and guns
mounted on them, on the Karabelnaia side, and that the so
much talked of bridge was not originally intended as a means
of safe retreat, but rather, in case of a general and simulta-
neous storming, to convey fresh troops more quickly from the
north side. He further admits that the Russians were not
able to return the feu d' enfer of the enemy, and that they
could do no more than fire one solid shot for every five they
received, and one shell for ten. When the famous evacuation
took place, on the evening of the Sth and on the following day,
upwards of 50,000 men crossed the bridge, from which we may
judge of the numerical strength of the garrison up to the last
moment. He acknowledges the great bravery of the French
soldiers, but criticises the strategical knowledgeof their officers,
and says that never was a siege conducted by men who knew
so little of the first principles of military engineering, for they
not only neglected to enfilade a single Russian work, but al-
though they might have knocked to pieces the stone wall at
the very commencement of the siege, they erected their own
batteries in such a manner as to permit them to be enfiladed
by the Russian artillery, and, moreover, so constructed the
right flank of their attack towards the Karabelnaia as to ex-
pose themselves to the fire of the steamers and the guns on
the north side of the bay. In conclusion, he proposes the
erection of a grand national monument to commemorate the
event, and to inscribe on it the names of the killed; adding,
that of the 600 officers of the former Black Sea fleet, not more
than 100 are now alive.

ar the house,
..? ' see the old gentleman and his
daughter, who live there, open the windows in
order to hear me. Is it not a sufficient trial to
my feelings to have your frightful white feathers
constantly under my eyes, without having your
very disagreeable noise offending my ears ? For
my part, I don't believe you're a blackbird at all."
" What am I then ?" I asked, in despair.
" I'm sure I don't know, but you're certainly
not a blackbird ; and, if I had not the most
patient temper in the world, I would long since
have driven you away."
During this time my poor mother sat bowing
her head in sorrow, but not daring to interfere ;
and, when my father had done speaking, I flew
away, with a breaking heart, to take refuge in a
neighbouring coppice. Passing by a clear stream,
I saw my form reflected in it, and perceived too
clearly how little I resembled my family. I
perched in a tree. It rained heavily that night,
and, in the morning, I felt half dead from cold,
grief, and hunger. Another wretched-looking
bird came and placed himself near me ; he was
very thin, and his ruffled feathers were, as well as
I could judge, of the same colour as my own.
His body was larger than mine, yet he had
scarcely sufficient plumage to cover a sparrow.
He appeared to me at first like a poor mendicant ;
but, when I looked more closely at him, I disco-
vered an air of innate dignity in his
whole bearing, and especially in his man-
ner of carrying his bald head. I made him a
profound and reverential bow, which he returned
by a thrust of his beak, which nearly threw me
off the branch. Seeing that I merely rubbed my
head, and drew back without retaliating, he said
to me, in a hoarse voice, " Who are you ?"
" Alas, my lord," I replied, fearing a second
push, " that's more than I can tell you. I
thought I was a blackbird, but it seems I am
not."
The singularity of my reply, joined to my air
of sincerity, interested him. He came close to
me, and made me relate my history, which I did,
in the fulness of my heart.
" If you were a carrier-pigeon like me," he said,
when I had ended, " you would not trouble your
head about such trifles. We are constantly on
the wing, travelling from country to country, and
we neither know nor care who were our fathers.
We fly like an arrow through the air, from one
well-known point to another, and we never tease
ourselves about domestic concerns."
" But, sir," I said, " may I take the liberty of
asking what that crushed-looking packet is, which
hangs from your neck ?"
" Papers of importance," replied the pigeon,
" which I am carrying to a celebrated banker in
Brussels, and which, I can tell you, will lower the
funds."
" Yours must be a pleasant life," I said, " and
Brussels, I am certain, must be well worth seeing.
Could you not take me with you ? Since lam
not a blackbird, who knows but I may be a carrier-
pigeon ?"
If you were," replied my friend, "you would
have returned me the blow I gave you."
" Well, sir, I'll owe it you, and, if you like,
with interest. We wont differ about a trifle.
See, the storm is lulled ; for pity's sake, let me
go with you. If you refuse, I'll just go and
drown myself."
" Come on, then ; follow me, if you can."
I gave a last look towards the garden where my
mother slept. Tears filled my eyes, but the wind
dried them up, and, spreading my wings, I flew
away. My pinions were not yet strong, and, as
my companion sped along rapidly, I soon felt
unable to keep up with him. I bore on, panting,
for a while, but at length I felt ready to sink with
fatigue.
‘"Jlave we far to go ?" I quavered forth.
" No, only about sixty leagues."
Summoning all my strength, I managed to get
on for another quarter of an hour, but then I felt
completely spent.
" Sir," said I, " could you have the kindness
to stop just for one moment? I feel terribly
thirsty, and if we perched on a tree-" -
" Get away with you! You're nothing but a
blackbird !" shouted the angry pigeon ; and, with-
out deigning to look round, he continued his
flight. _As for poor me, I fell half dead into a
corn-field.
For a time I remained in a stupefied state, and
when I recovered, I found myself too weak either
to walk or fly. As I sat amongst the corn, in a
very disconsolate frame of mind, I saw, tripping
towards me, through the poppies and bluebottles,
two very charming ladies. One of them was a
smart, coquettish little magpie, the other a rose-
coloured turtle-dove. The latter paused at a
little distance, and looked at me compassionately ;
while her companion hopped towards me, with
the pleasantest air possible.
" Poor fellow ! what's the matter with you ?"
asked the black and white lady, turning up her
roguish eye.
" Please your ladyship, I am a poor weary
traveller, ready to die of hunger."
" Oh, but that's dreadful !" replied she, and
immediately began to flutter and hop to and fro,
bringing several berries and wild fruits, which she
piled up next me, at the same time continuing her
questions. " But who are you ? Whence do you
come ? And whither are you going ? So young,
too, and alone in the world ! 'Tis really enough
to make one's feathers stand on end,"
While she spoke, I was eating with an excel-
lent appetite. The turtle-dove looked at me with
a gentle eye of pity. Knowing that I must be
thirsty, she dipped her bill into a little reservoir,
formed in the hollow of a leaf, and brought me
some fresh, clear water. But for the exigency of
the case, so reserved a young lady would never
have made so free with a stranger. I ate and
drank with much satisfaction ; but, as everything
in this world has an end, even the appetite of a
convalescent, I at length finished my repast, and
then satisfied the little magpie's curiosity by
telling her my history with the same frankness
that I had used towards the pigeon. But when
I came to speak of my doubts as to what I was,
my
.lively auditor interrupted me. " You
are jesting. You a blackbird ! you a pigeon !
Fie, fie, my friend ; you are a 'magpie—and a
very pretty magpie, too," she added, giving me a
playful little slap with the tip of her wing.
" But, madame," I replied, "it seems to me
that my plumage—don't be offended—is not
exactly that of your tribe."
" A Russian magpie, my dear ; you're a Russian
magpie. Don't you know that they are white ?
Poor child ! how ignorant you are of the world !"
" But, madame," I persisted, "how can I be a
Russian magpie, seeing that I was born in France,
in an old broken watering-pot ?"
" Because, child, your ancestors came from the
north. Depend upon it, lam right. You cannot
do better than come and be introduced to my
family, and settle amongst us. Our colony con-
sists of about one hundred birds ; and I assure
you we are not like those great vulgar magpies
who go hopping about on the highways. We
are very genteel and very select ; and, having
each of us exactly seven black marks and five
white, we feel entitled to look down upon our
neighbours. You unfortunately want the black
marks, hut that will be overlooked, on account of
your Russian extraction. We pass most of our
time in chatting together, and in arranging our
plumage. In the midst of our forest stands a
fine old oak, inhabited by our king, Magpius

the only damage sustained was confined to an old sofa.
TEE 6th regiment of Royal Lancashire Militia, now in
camp at Aldershott, has been so much reduced, 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 baud 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 BALE OF TOBACCO.—Two 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.

sta A letterhat was
received from Mr. T. landing-waite tington
the 6th of September, last,mbilst he was returning *from the
Huskisson Dock, he met with a very severe accident:at the
drawbridge, in consequence of the gorge chains not.being up,
having fallen between thebridge 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 bythe accident be defrayed by them.
The Chairman said the matter had been investigated 15 the
Harbour Masters' Committee, and they found that the man
declared that he had putlip the chain. The ,chain must have
been unhooked by some tone out of mischief. The secretary
was instructed to write• to Mr. Miall, on behalf of the ,com-
mittee, regrettingthe accident, and stating that they had in-
quired into the circumstances, and found that thoehain 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-

was summoned to appear, and could not disobey. He ad-sent
a letter to the committee in reference to the subject, which
would be transnaltted to the master pilots.
LIABILITY or R*ILWAY COMPANIES.—in the County
Court, on Thursday, Mr. T.. S. Raffles presided in the absence
of the judge, Mr. Pollock. ..16.1 action, Wignall v. the London
and North Western Railway :Company, was tried, which in-
volved a question of considerable • poance as regards the
liability of railway companies. The plaintiff was a commerciai
traveller who, in May last, being travel by the Lou-.don and North Western Railway, came to e Lime-street
station shortly 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 sometsefreshment, 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 wad be perfectly safe. Upon
Allis 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
tram was 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 recover compensation. The com-
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
taketritia ticliet, and therefore before any contact was Made ;
and also that the documents contained in the desk were not
personal Juggage, 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 eOmpany 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 eircumstances. 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, Huskisson-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 £6 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 the extraor;
dinavy nature of the case, and by the fact that the mother had
been previously convicted for felony. The prisoners were com-
mitted for trial.

THE BATTLE OF KARS.
FOREIGN-OFFICE, Nov. 10.
The Earl of Clarendon has received a despatch from Major-
General Williams, Her Majesty's Commissioner with the
Turkish Army in Asia, of which the following is a copy :
KARA, Oct, 3.
My Lord,—l had the honour to announce to your'Lordship,
on the -evening of the 29th ult., the glorious victory gained on
the morning of that day by the Sultan's troops on the heights
above Kars, over the Russian army commanded by General
Muravieff, and I now beg to furnish your Lordship with the
principal incidents of that sanguinary battle.
Your Lordship will, perhaps, recollect that in my despatch,
No. 123, of the 28th of June, I stated that the Russian Gene-
ral, after his second demonstration against the southern face
of our•cntrenchments, which is flanked by Hafiz Pasha Tabia
and Kanli Tabia, marched south, and established his camp at
Bugah Tikine' a village situated about four miles from Kars.
Knowing that General Muravieff served in the army which
took- Kars in 1828, I conceived his last manoeuvre to be pre-
paratory either to a reconnaissance, or an attack upon the
heights of Tahmasb, whence the Russians successfully pushed
their approaches in the year above cited.
While, therefore, the enemy's columni were in march to-
wards Bugah Tikme, I visited those heights with Lieutenant
Colonel Lake, and, after studying the ground, decided upon
the nature of works to be thrown up ; these were planned
and executed by Lieutenant-Colonel Lake with great skill and
energy. I enclose for your Lordship's information a plan
made by that officer of the . town and its. neighbouring
heights, which are situated on the opposite side of the river of
Kars Chai, over which three temporary bridges had been
thrown to keep up our communications. As all verbal des-
criptions or bird'seye views of ground convey but au imperfect
idea of any locality, I beg to enclose a sketch made by Mr.
Churchill, which will, I trust, tend to elucidate my descrip-
tion.
Your Lordship will observe that, while our camp and ma-
gazines in the town were rendered as safe as circumstFices
would allow, the hills above Kars commanded all, and were,
therefore, the keys of our position.
The intrenchments of Talimasb, being those nearest the
enemy's camp, demanded the greatest vigilance froni all in-
trusted with their defence. General Kmety, a gallant Hun-
garian officer, commanded the division which occupied this
eminence; he was assisted by Major-General Hussein Pasha
and my Aide-de-Camp, Major Teesdale, who has acted as his
Chief of the Staff.
Throughout the investment, which has now lasted four
months, the troops in all the redoubts and iutrenchments have
kept a vigilant look-out, during the night, and, at their ap-
pointed stations, stood to their arms long before day dawn. In
my depatch, No. 155, of the 29th ult.; I informed your Lord-
ship of the arrival of the news of the fall of Sebastopol, and
of the landing of Omar Pasha at Batoum. I also acquainted
your Lordship with the fact that. the Russian General was
engaged in sending off immense trains of heavy baggage into
Georgia, and showing every indication of a speedy retreat.
This in no wise threw as off our guard, and Lieutenant-Colonel
Lake was directed to.strengthen many paints in our extensive
and undermanned lines, and among other works the tabia
bearing my name was constructed.
At 4 o'clock on the eventful morning of the 29th the ene-
my's columns were reported to be advancing on the Tahmasb
front. They were three in number, supported by 24 guns ;
the first or right column being directed on Tahmasb Tabia,
the second on Yukseh Tabia, and the third on the breastwork
called Rennison Lines. As soon as the first gun announced
the approach of the enemy the reserves were put under arms
in a central position, from which succours could be despatched
either to Tahmasb or the English lines.
The mist and imperfect light of the dawning day induced
the enemy to believe that he was about to surprise us ; he ad-
vanced with his usual steadiness and intrepidity ; but on
getting within range he was saluted with a crushing fire of
artillery from all points of the line. This unexpected recep-
tion, however, only drew forth loud hurrahs from the Russian
infantry as it rushed up the hill on the redoubts and breast-
works. These works poured forth a fire of musketry and rifles
which told with fearful effects on the close columns of attack,
more especially on the left one, which, being opposed by a
battalion of 450 Chasseurs, armed with Minid rifles, was, after
long and desperate fighting, completely broken and sent head-
long down the hill, leaving 850 dead on the field, besides those
carried off by their comrades.
The central column precipitated itself on the redoubts of
Tahmasb and Yuksek Tabias, where desperate fighting oc-
curred and lasted for several hours, the enemy being repulsed
in all his attempts to enter the closed redoubts, which mutu-
ally flanked each other with their artillery and musketry, and
made terrible havoc in the ranks of the assailants; and it was
here that Generals Kmety and Hussein Pasha, together with
Major Teesdale, so conspicuously displayed their courage and
conduct. Lieutenant-General Kereen Pasha also repaired to
the scene of desperate strife to encourage the troops, and was
wounded in the shoulder and had two horses killed under him.
The right column of the Russian infantry, supported by a
battery, eventually turned the left flank of the intrenched
wing of the Tahmasb defences ; and while the Russian bat-
tery opened in the rear of the closed redoubt at its salient
angle, their infantry penetrated considerably behind our
position.
Observing the commencement of this movement, and anti-
cipating its consequences, Lieutenant-Colonel Lake, who had
taken the direction of affairs in the English Tabias, was in-
structed to send a battalion from Fort Lake to the assistance
of the defenders of Tahmasb, and, at the same time, two bat-
talions of the reserves were moved across the flying bridge,
and upon the rocky height of Laz Jeppe Tabia. These three
reinforcing columns met each other at that point, and being
hidden from the enemy by the rocky nature of the ground,
confronted him at a most opportune moment. They deployed,
and opened their fire, which stopped and soon drove back the
enemy's reserves, which were then vigorously charged with
the bayonet, at the same moment when General Kmety and
Major Teesdale issued from the redoubts at Tahmasb, and
charged the assailants. The whole of that portion of the
enemy's infantry and artillery now broke, and fled down the
heights under a murderous fire of musketry. This occurred
at half-past 11, after a combat of seven hours.
In this part of the field the enemy had, including his re-
serves, 22 battalions of infantry, a large force of Dragoons and
Cossacks, together with 32 guns.
While this struggle which I have attempted to describe was
occurring at Tahmasb a most severe combat was going on at
the eastern position of the line, called the English Tabias.
About half-past five o'clock, a.m., a Russian column, con-
sisting of eight battalions of infantry, three regiments of
cavalry, and 16 guns, advanced from the valley of Tehakraak,
and assaulted those small redoubts, which after as stout a
resistance as their unavoidably feeble garrison could oppose,
fell into their hands, together with the connecting breast-
works, defended by townsmen and mountaineers from La-
zistan, whose clannish flags, according to their custom, were
planted before them on the epaulements, and, consequently,
fell into the enemy's hands ; but ere the firing had begun in
this portion of the field, Captain Thompson had received
orders to send a battalion of infantry from each of the heights
of Karadagh and Arab Tabia to reinforce the English lines.
This reinforcement descended the deep gully through which
flows the Kars river, passed a bridge recently thrown across
it, and ascended the opposite precipitous bank by a zig-zag
path which led into the line of works named by the Turks
Inglik Tabias' (the English Batteries). Their arrival was as
opportune as that of the reserves directed towards Talunasb,
which I have had the honour to describe in the former part of
this despatch. These battalions, joined to those directed by
Lieutenant-Colonel Lake, gallantly attacked and drove the
Russians out of the redoubts at the point of the bayonet, after
the artillery of the enemy had been driven from those lines by
the cross fire directed from Fort Lake and from Arab Tabia
and from Karadagh, by Captain Thompson. This officer de-
serves my best thanks for having seized a favourable moment
to remove a heavy gun from the eastern to the western ex-
tremity of Karadagh, and with it inflicted severe loss on the
enemy.
_
After the Russian infantry was driven from the English
redoubts, the whole of their attacking force of cavalry, artil-
lery and infantry retreated with precipitation, plied with
round shot from all the batteries bearing on their columns.
During their temporary success, however, the enemy captured
two of our light guns, which the mortality among our horses
from famine prevented our withdrawing from their advanced
position. He also carried off his wounded and many of his
dead; yet he left 363 of the latter within and in front of these
intrenchments ; and his retreat occurred at least an hour
before the assailants of Tahmasb were put to flight.
During this combat, which lasted nearly seven hours, the
Turkish infantry, as well as artillery, fought with the most
determined courage ; and, when it is recollected that they had
worked on their entrenchments and guarded them by night
throughout a period extending to nearly four months, I think
your Lordship will admit that they have proved themselves
worthy of the admiration of Europe, and established an un-
doubted claim to be placed among the most distinguished of
its troops.
With regard to the enemy, as long as there was a chance of
success he persevered with undaunted courage, and the
Russian officers displayed the greatest gallantry. Their loss
was immense; they left on the field more than 6,000 dead,
which it took the Turkish infantry four days to bury. Their
wounded and prisoners in our possession amount to 160, while
those who were carried off are said to be upwards of 7,000.
As the garrison was afflicted with cholera, and I was appre-
hensive of a great increase of the malady, should this melan-
choly duty of the burial of the dead not be pushed forward
with every possible vigour by our fatigued and jaded soldiers,
I daily visited the scene of strife to encourage them in their
almost endless task ; and I can assure your lordship that the
whole battle-field presented a scene which is more easy to
conceive 'than to describe, being literally covered with the
enemy's dead and dying.
The Turkish dead and wounded were removed on the night
of the battle. The dead numbered 362, the wounded 631. The
townspeople, who also fought with spirit, lost 101 men.

CRIMEAN PIIOTOGRAPHS.—The splendid and interesting
collection of Photographs, made in the Crimea, by Mr. Roger
Fenton, is now in the course of exhibition here by Messrs.
Agnew and Sons, of Manchester, at whose instance Mr.
Fenton proceeded to the seat of war, for the express purpose
of taking those truthful sun-pictures which are here displayed.
The collection is to be published under the direct patronage
of Her Majesty, the Emperor of the French, and Prince Albert.
It embraces numerous views of the most celebrated scenes,
correct representations of many incidents connected with the
ever-memorable siege of Sebastopol, and a vast number of
groups and individial portraits, whose names and achieve-
ments will form lasting ornaments in the page of history.
The scenery is interesting on many accounts; and the series
of eleven views, representing a panorama of the Plateau of
Sebastopol, is suggestive of the most stirring emotions, con-
taining faithful delineations of Inkermann, Balaklava, Cath-
cart's Hill, Mackenzie Heights, and other places, as seen from
a point in which, by turning round, the spectator could com-
mand the whole of them, though distant. Another panorama
of interest is that of the country between Inkermann and
Balaklava, in five tableaux ; and a third is that of Inkermann
itself, including the Quarries, and the Valley of the Tchernaya.
The collection is also rich in incidents of camp-life, consisting
of groups of officers and soldiers, showing the pastimes of
military men of every grade, in the intervals of actual service
in the trenches. By far the most interesting portion of the
collection, to many spectators at all events, will be found to
consist of the various portraits of distinguished men who

Sir J. Simpson, Sir John Burgoyne, Sir De Lacy Evans, Sir

reader is familiar. In every instance, the representation,
whether of place, incident, or individual, is marked by that
wonderful fidelity which constitutes the main charm of
photographic pictures. The collection, which has been greatly
admired by connoisseurs of every rank in London, will afford
a high treat to those of our fellow-townsmen who take an -
interest—and who does not P—in the subject of the Crimean
war.
LIE Ml•ron AT ST. PETER'S CIIIIRCH.—On Sunday the
Mayor, John Stewart, Esq., attended St. Peter's Church, on
the occasion of the annual sermon in aid of the Blue-coat
Hospital. It is usual for the Mayor to be accompanied upon
the occasion of his attending St. Peter's Church immediately
after his election, by the members of the town council and
some of the leading men of the town, and perhaps never on
any occasion was there a larger attendance than on Sunday.
The usual ceremonies were observed. The Mayor met the
members of the town council and his other friends at the
Town-hall. The boys from the Blue-coat School, headed by
Mr. E. G. Deane, the treasurer, and the churchwardens, Messrs.
Woodruff and Shaw, arrived in front of the Town-hall shortly
before eleven o'clock. They formed the front of the proces-
sion. Immediately after them came thirty men of the fire
brigade, under the command of Mr. Superintendent Hewitt,
then the regalia of the corporation, and next the Mayor and
the gentlemen who had assembled to accompany him to
church. He was supported by Mr. T. B. Horsfall, M.P. for
the borough, and the Rev. Rector Campbell, the preacher for
the day. The members of the council and the friends of
Mr. Stewart followed. Amongst those present were Messrs.
Alderman J. B. Moore, M.P., Charles Turner, Alderman J.
H. Turner, H. Littledale, Alderman Dover, Alderman Cooper,
J. P. Campbell, J. Tyrer, Alderman Gardner, J. A. Tobin,

THE MONEY QUESTION.
Tms is a subject which, however distasteful to
those who view it as dry and almost unintelligible,
must force itself upon public attention preparatory to
its discussion by the legislature in the approaching
session. There are far greater interests dependent
upon a correct understanding of its bearings than
many persons imagine ; and the influences which have
been created by the exceptional circumstance of im-
mense gold discoveries in California and Australia
must not be permitted to perpetuate an error in
legislation, which, but for such influences, would have
proved seriously detrimental. We need not impugn
the motives which actuated Sir R9BERT PEEL, in his

ioiln to Poet, who, when writing—not of conscience, poor
' t Ile (lid not attend to its operations, boat of what he
called honour, which he invoked in powerful language. The
reverend doctor quoted at considerable length from Burns'
well-known poem, the " Advice to a Young Friend." In con-
clusion, Dr. M`Neile urged strongly upon the female portion
of the community the great services they could render to the
association and to society at large,. by using the influence they
possessed as mothers, wives, and sisters. He entreated them
to use that influence, and in doing so they might rest assured
that a blessing would follow their efforts. He advised the
young men to abstain from all amusements which they could
not invite their mothers, wives, or sisters to participate in.
At the conclusion of his address the reverend doctor was
much applauded.
A hymn was sung, during which a collection was made.
The Rev. H. GRIFFITHS then briefly addressed the meeting
on the necessity for prayer. In the course of his address he
dwelt forcibly on the Divine injunction to "pray always," and
gave many forcible illustrations of its efficacy.
The Rev. S. bliraort, on rising, was received with applause.
He stated his cordial approbation of the objects of the society,
and expressed satisfaction at knowing that it was making
such progress in this town, as was clearly indicated by the
large and important meeting now assembled.
Mr. R. A. MIME moved the thanks of the meeting and
of the association to the Chairman, and also to the different
gentlemen, lay and clerical, who lent it their countenance,
and in a particular manner to those who had delivered lec-
tures to the members. _ _ _
Mr. JonN CEOPPEU seconded the motion, which was
adopted by acclamation.
The Rev. V. M. WRITE pronounced the benediction, and the
meeting separated.
WAVERTREE BOARD OF HEALTH.
ME monthly meeting of this board was held last night
in the Public Offices. The chair was occupied by the
Rev. W. Badnall, and there were also present Messrs. Hal-
head, Hill, Anderton, Bradburn, Gore, Chaffer, and Rishton.
The minutes of the previous meeting having been read by
Mr. Atherton, the law clerk, they were confirmed.
The CHAIRMAN then called attention to the circumstances
of the nuisance on the premises of Mr. Fingland, which had
been so frequently brought under the notice of the board.
In reference to this sahiect, he read a letter he had received
from Mr. Whitley, on the part of the Marquis of Salisbury,
complaining of the nuisance, and requesting that they would
immediately take measures for having it abated. He ex-
plained that, on receiving the letter, he along with Mr. Davies
visited the premises, where they met with Mr. Fingland, who
stated his willingness to do everything that was necessary to
remove any reasonable ground of complaint. Subsequently,
he (the Chairman), in his private capacity, visited the pre-
mises, and 'there met Mr. Picton along with Mr. Fingland,
the formerof whom persisted in addressing him as chairman
of the board, which he disclaimed. In the meantime, however,
no improVement had been effected. la course of the day of the
present greeting he had had transmitted to him, by Mr.
Whitley, the copy of a letter addressed to hini the noble
Marquis, instructing him to adopt such steps by erecting a
barrierbetween the property of himself and Mr. Hope, if the
Boara did not immediately see the nuisance removed.
Several members expressed 'themselves to the effect that the
matter was one in which thel.aard could only interfere in the
matter in the ordinary way, by giving nafice that whatever
nnisance existed should be abated.
Mr. HA.LICEAD, after remarking that the business of the
'board was to deal with ihe nuisance in such a way as to cause
?its removal, but not to prescribe the exact manner in which
`that was to be effected, moved that the Law-clerk be in-
structed to serve a 'notice upon Mr. Vingland to have the
nuisance abated.; and that it be also an instruction to the
Law-clerk to comnitnikate to Mr. iWhitley the purkort of this
resolution, expresSing at the 'same 'time the anxnins desire
entertained by the board to have the nuisance abated.
Mr. ;Cua.rr•ntt 'seconded the resolution, which was unani-
mously adopted.
The CHAIRMAN then read a memorial presented by Mr.
J. A. Picton, in his Own name, And that of two ladies, who,
like himself, 'were owners 6f property in Olive Mount. The
memorial complained that the *ewer in that district had' been
made 23 tea deep, whereas a depth of seven or eight feet
would havebeen sufficient. This, it was stated in the mono-
rial, had occasioned great.adlational and unnecessary expense,
which could not be of any use or benefit to the owners Of the
property Tor a very long pekiod.
Mr. RtatTON said' he could not avoid thinking such a
reemoriiil was the last soft ol thing he should have expetted
from Mr.' Picton, on such a subject. That gentleman was
himself-v. member of the hoard at the time the works spoken
of hati'been undertaken, and took an active' hand in them,
having made several motions on the subject of their coreStrue-
tion. It came, therefore, with a bad grace from him to ,cora-
plaire of acts to whkh he was himself a„party. If he aid not
know the expense of the sewer, and was not conversant with
It iu all its details, ict was his own tattlt.; he had ample oppor-
tunits of becoming se, and he, therefore, ought not to en-
deavour to get out cif the responsibility attached to works to
the adoption of will& be was not merely a'consenting but an
acting party.
`-Several other members expressed "themselves. in a similar
,:strain. '
Mr. CirArrzn 'expressed his surprise that such a me-
unorial should have emanated from 'Mr: Picton; who 'was him-
iself in actual recci4st of benefit from the work of which he
-complained. He had had plans andsections of the, work sub-
,mitted to him .before it was begun, and' he concurred in it.
'To his mind, the memorial seemed the production of a dig-
Tontented man. If Mr. Picton-was dissatisfied, that he could
not sit with them, and participate in their deliberations, it
was no fault of any member of thaboard. It was his own in-
attention to the.duties of the board which had occasioned his
disqualification.
The CHAIRMAN explained that Mr.. Picton hdd•stated his
absence was -occasioned by no•carelessness of the• interests of
the board, but had been caused tby unavoidable absence in
London and der places on -business. The subject then
dropped.
Several-as-were ordered to te;paid, and after the transac-
tion of some routine business the meeting separated.
BODY or =dN INFANT Fotnrn.—Yesterday, the body of
a newly-borrrchild was found in St. John's churchyard by
the sexton. The body was enclosed in a small box.
CHILD SCALDED TO. DEATH.—On' Friday last, Elizabeth
Wilson, three years old, who resided with her parents in
Salisbury-street, was so scalded; by the accidental upsetting
of a tea kettle, as to cause her death on the following day.
Surrosro SUICIDE.—On Saturday night, a labourer
named James Forrester, who resided in Short-street, was
found suspended by the neck in his bed-room, and quite dead.
Deceased, who was about forty years of age, and had been
much addicted to liquor, had several times threatened that he
would put an end to himself.
LITERIRY•AND PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY.—A meeting of
this society was held last night, at the Royal Institution, Col-
quitt-street, the. Rev. H. H. Higgins in the chair. Mr.dlichard
Brooke was elected an ordinary, member. The. Rev. J. Bobberds
read an interesting paper on "Poetry, and its appl.ication to
Common Life;" which was followed by an animated discussion.
The meeting shortly afterwards broke ,up.
CHILD BURNED TO DEATH.—Onfruesday, the 30(14 last
month, a child named John Gilberteon, two years old, who
resided with his parents in Bell-street, was left along with
another child of three years old in the house by the mother
of the former. While she was absent the two seem to have
been tampering .with some paper and the fire, when the
clothes of the youngest caught fire, and he was so burned that
he required to be taken to the Southern Hospital, where he
died on Saturday night,
FRENCH TABLE VHOTE.—The lovers.of a good and palata-
ble dinner a la Francais will find themselves amply accom-
modated and gratified at the table tl'ldle of Mr. Morrish, at
the Merchants' Dining-rooms, Lancaster-buildings. At this
-establishment an adtnirable dinner of five or six courses, con-
.-sisting of soup, fish, and, made dishes, together with fowl, may
tbe obtained on the same scale as the celebrated three-frane
dinners of the Parisian restaurateur. Dinner-wines of a
light character and finediavour may be had it,la carte.
• LITTLE BRIGHTON, NUR WATERLOO.—On Tuesday last,
the new school, which has been in the course of erection in
this place, was opened with a series of most interesting ser-
vices. The building is in the. Gothic style, and, for its size, is
oneof the handsomest and most convenient edifices of the
kind- which we remember baying, seen. It, has can built after
a plan gratuitously made by Messrs. J. W. and J. Hay, archi-
tects,,Cable-street. The ground was generously given for the

Rev. S. B. Sutton. At one o'clock, a, IROSt substantial dinner
of roast beef and plum pudding, and several other good-things
of a like nature, was given to the children,.and• the workmen
employed in the erection of the school. At six o'cleek, there
was a tea meeting for the parents of the-children,, and the in-
habitants of the place. The admission was ;by ticket, hut both
entertainments were given by Mr. aid Mrs. Eccles, who.have
always shown such deep interest in the spiritual welfare of
their poorer neighbours. After tea, the Rev. Geo. Troughton
took the chair, and addresses were delivered by the Rev. Dr.
Hume and the Rev.. .S. B. Sutton. The proceedings through-
out were of the most pleasing and interesting lcind, and we
sincerely hope they will prove the commencement ofgreat and
lasting good. There is.still a debt of £l5O, and we hope the
Christian public will generously and speedily remove ft. There
was a large bonfire and a display of fireworks at the conclusion
,of the proceedings, which gave great satisfaction—especially to
the juveniles.
SOCIETY.—Ou Thursday, the first meeting of
the literary section of this society was held in St. George's-
hall, Dr. Thom in the chair. Dr. Hume exhibited an ancient
sheep hell, found near Holyhead ; also a crystallised stone
formed by the action of fire, resembling the basalt pillars for-
ming the Giant's Causeway.—Mr. Danson read some written
remarks, as scriticisms on Mr. Buxton's paper on the Saxon
element in our poetry, read on the Ist instant.—Mr. Buxton,
who had seen Mr. Danson's criticism, read a reply, supporting
the views he expressed in his original paper, and expressing
an opinion that the difference between hha and Mr. Denson
was more nominal than real.—Mr. Danson, in a brief reply,
admitted that he had misunderstood some portions of Mr.
Buxton's paper.—Mr. Denson read a paper on the area and
the increase of the population of Liverpool during the last 50
years. After tracing the increase of population in Liverpool
through the eighteenth century, he rejected the area of the
parish or the out-township as a basis for estimating the popu-
lation, and laid it down as a principle that the area of a town
increased with the increase of population, and then asked the
question, What degree of density constituted a town ? He
assumed an average density of 100 persons to the acre consti-
tuted a town, and a density of 10 persons to the acre consti-
tuted a suburb, and a density of 50 persons to one hundred
acres the country. He assigned the area of 21 townships in
Lancanshire and Cheshire as the area of the population of
Liverpool, and based upon the assumption of population before
stated, he showed by a series of figures the progressive increase
of Liverpool and Birkenhead, when the latter ceased to be-
come country, assume the appearance of a suburb, and eventu-
ally that of a town, remarking that the apparent decrease of
population in the town of Liverpool, or rather an apparent
standstill in the increase of its population, was caused by the
facilities of locomotion hr the present day, and the place of
sleeping being the place for which the census returns were
made.—A discussion followed, in which the chairman, Mr.
Boult, Dr. Hume, and other gentlemen took part, and the
business concluded.

COMMERCIAL and 'MONETARY NEWS.
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 s_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 decreased tothe 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 £366,879 ; 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 the increase also in the market-price of al-
most every article in general consumption. An ad-
vance of threepence a lb. in the price of Sugar, with
the prospect of a still further rise, is attributed to the
shortness of stocks, the redudtien in supplies, and the'
continued large consumption. It is stated, however,
that.there is no want of supplies in the 'West Indies,
.which is kept back owing to 'the difficultyof obtaining
freights at a moderate late. Whatever may be the
cause, it is evident thdt 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
:Bank Charter Act.be allowed to. continue, we shall be
burning the candle !fit both ends, by compelling the
retention of anseless 'hoard at the very time when the
gold is most wanted for its legitimate employment as
the medium of circulation.
We quote "the 'following remarks from Messrs.V.
and H. larrntrtAtE and Co.'s monthly circular :
Notwithstanding' the stri' ngeney,,cf the money market, a
fair extent of-business has been done in our different produce
markets duringthe past month. The article attracting most
'attention has been sugar, which • has taken a further rise of
12s. to 15s. per cwt. since our last circular, and this -simply
from the great deficiency in stock and expected arrivals for
the remainder of the year. During the last ten days there
has been a•general demand both from the trade andepecula-
tors, increasing in excitement each day, and a further ad-
vance of 'los. to 12s. has been established; at these prices the
impression-is, that we must have a further advance before we
tan receive anything like adequate supplies. The stock in
the four ports is only 62,000'tous, against 152,000; showing a
deficiency-of 90,000 tons, 55,000 of which deficiency is esti-
mated in L0nd0n,.20,000 here, and 15,000 in the Clyde and
Bristol. The consumption is progressing satisfactorily, not-
withstanding the advanced prices demanded by the grocers-
-50 per -ant. on moist, from 441. per lb. to 6d.—and will be
about on a par with the last-year. Molasses have,participated
in the advance in sugar, and good to fine West India are
worth/Bs. to 295. The London sugar market lime again ex-
cited yesterday, and a further advance of 3s. to 4s. was estab-
lished. As yet we have not experienced the fulteffect here,
but give the following as the nearest quotations of this date—
Fine Cossipore, 68s. ; 625. to 645.; white"Benares 58s.
to ,645.:, yellow date, 545. to 585.; Mauritius and West India,
525. to ,60s. for brown to 'fine yellow.
In: Manchester, the %market for manufactured goods
has'been in rather an uneasy state, owing. to the un-
willingness of buyers 'to give the advanced prices de-
manded, and which have been rendered necessary by
the rise in the raw material ; still there hasTbeen.a fair
amount of busines done both for the China.market and
kr Germany, and yarns, as well as manufactured goods,
arosaleable at improved prices. There is-a threat of
an extensive turn-out, owing to some of the masters
having given notice of a. reduction in thorate of wages,
a measure which is very naturally ,resisted at a time
when the price of ..all necessaries is so high, but it is
hoped that some arrangement will be come to by
NthiCh a resort to-a turn-out may be avoided. In the
'.Woollen trade there. is very little to notice, there being
a fair amount of business transacted, and prices re-
main without alteration. The Hosiery and Lace
trades are also steady.
The return from the ',Bank of England for-the week
ending the 3rd November gives the following results,
.when.compared with the previous week :
Public Deposits ... £3,369,984; Decrease... £330,860
Other Deposits ... .114694,200; Decrease -366,879
Rest ... ... 3,178,469; Increase ... 7,443
On the other side of the account :
Government Securities.. £10,201,276; Decrease... £127,679
Other Securities ...... 18,355,548; Decrease... 179,052
Notes unemployed ...... 4,644,465; Increase ... 381,905
he; amount of notes in circulation is £20,096,855,
:being a decrease of £339,045., and the stock of bullion
in both departments is -X11,299,634, showing a
decrease of £3,731 when compared with the preceding
xeturn.

resided with his parents in Bell-street, was left along with
another child of three years old in the house by the mother
of the former. While she was absent the two seem to have
',been tampering with some paper and the •fire, when the
,olothes of the youngest caught fire, and he.was so burned that
he required to be taken to the Southern Hospital, where he
died on Saturday night,
FRENCH TABLE D'HoTE.—'The lovers of .a good and palate-
, ble dinner a la Francais will 'find themselves amply accom-
modated and gratified at the Diable d'hdte of Mr. Morrish, at
the Merchants' Dining-rooms,; Lancaster-buildings. At this
establishment an admirable dinner of five or six courses, con-
_ sisting of soup, fish, and made dishes, together with fowl, may
be obtained on the same scale as the :celebrated three-franc
dinners of the Parisian restaurateur. Dinner-wines of a
light character and fine flavour may be had,ii.la carte.
Mira BRIGHTON, NEAR WATERLOO.—On Tuesday last,
the new school, which has been in the course of erection in
this place, was opened with a series of most interesting ser-
vices. The building is in the Gothic style, and, for its size, is
one of-the handsomest and most convenient edifices of the
kind which we remember having seen. It has.been built after
a plan gratuitously made by Messrs. J. W.. and a. Hay, archi-
tects, Cable-street. The ground was generously given for the
purpose by Thomas Eccles, Esq., of Little Brighton, by whom
this good work was devised, and by whose ezertituis, mainly,
it has been brought to a successful issue, The building was
opened by anneting in the morning, at half-pastn

addresses were delivered by the Chairman, the undertaking,
verGeoirnge
g'
Troughton, the Rev. J. R. Conor, Thos. Eccles, Esq, and the
Rev. S. 13. Sutton. At one o'clock, a most substantial dinner
.of roast beef and plum pudding, and several other good things
of a like nature, was given to the children, and to the workmen
,employed in the erection of the school. At six o'clock, there
was a tea meeting for the parents of the children, and the in-
habitants of the place. The admission was by ticket, but both
entertainments were given by Mr. aid Mrs. Eccles, who have
always shown such deep interest in the spiritual welfare of
their poorer neighbours. After tea, the Rev. Geo. Troughton
tdbk the chair, and addresses were delivered by the Rev. Dr.
Hume and the Rev. S. B. Saton. The proceedings through-
out were of the most pleasing and interesting kind, and we
sincerely hope they will prove the commencement of great and
lasting good. There is still a debt of £l5O, and we hope the
Christian public will generously and speedily remove it. There
was a large bonfire and a display of fireworks at the conclusion
of the proceedings, which gave great satisfaction—especially to
the juveniles.
HISTORIC SOCIETT.-011 Thursday, the first meeting of
the literary section of this society was held in St. George's-
hall, Dr. nom in the chair. Dr. Hume exhibited an ancient
sheep bell, found near Holyhead; also a crystallised stone
formed by the action of are, resembling the basalt pillars for-
ming the Giant's Causeway.—Mr. Danson read some written
remarks, as criticisms on Mr, Buxton's paper on the Saxon
element in our poetry, read on the Ist instant.—Mr. Buxton,
who bad seen Mr. Danson's criticism, read a reply, supporting
the views he expressed in his original paper, and expressing
an opinion that the difference between him and Mr. Danson
was more nominal than real.—Mr. Danson, in a brief reply,
admitted that he had misunderstood some portions of Mr.
Buxton's paper.—Mr. Danson read a paper on the area and
the increase of the population of Liverpool during the last 60
years. After tracing the increase of population in Liverpool
through the eighteenth century, he rejected the area of the
parish or the out-township as a basis for estimating the popu-
lation, and laid it down as a principle that the area of a town
increased with the increase of population, and then asked the
question, What degree of density constituted a town ? He
assumed an average density of 100 persons to the acre consti-
tuted a town, and a density of 10 persons to the acre consti-
tuted a suburb, and a density of 50 persons to one hundred
acres the country. He assigned the area of 21 townships in
Lancanshire and Cheshire as the area of the population of
Liverpool, and based upon the assumption of population before
stated, he showed by a series of figures the progressive increase
of Liverpool and Birkenhead, when the latter ceased to be-
come country, assume the appearance of a suburb, and eventu-
ally that of a town, remarking that the apparent decrease of
population in the town of Liverpool, or rather an apparent
standstill in the increase of its population, was caused by the
facilities of locomotion in the present day, and the place of
sleeping being the place for which the census returns were
made.—A discussion followed, in which the chairman, Mr.
Boult, Dr. Hume, and other gentlemen took part, and the
business concluded.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD•
A DEAF AND DUMB PERSON being asked what were
his ideas of forgiveness, took a pencil and wrote---" It
is the odour which flowers yield when trampled upon."
" I'VE just looked in to see if you are doing well,"
as the cook said to the lobster, when she lifted up the
saucepan lid.
- - -
WHAT is the height of imagination ?---Having dined
at a tavern to imagine you have paid the waiter, and
for him to suppose so too.
A YOUNG LADY at an examination of Grammar, was
asked why the noun bachelor was singular. She re-
plied immediately with much naïveté, " Because it is
very singular they don't get married."
WOMEN are the Corinthian pillars that adorn and
support society ; the institutions that protect women
throw a shield around children ; and where women
and children are provided for, man must be secure in
his rights.
IN the reign of George I. a pamphlet was printed,
recommending a scheme for paying off the National
Debt ; amongst other items was a tax of ten shillings
a year on periwigs, which alone was computed to
produce yealy a million of money !
A LADY at sea, full of apprehension in a gale of
wind, cried out among other pretty exclamations,
"We shall go to the bottom---mercy on us, how my
head swims !" " Zounds, madam, never fear," said
one of the sailors, " you can never go to the bottom
while your head swims !"
" MASTER BUGGAINS, come up and tell me who
was Cleopatra ?" " Cleopatra was sister to one of the
pyramids of Hegypt, and come to her unhappy hend
by swallerin of a wasp," " Good boy, good boy; you'll
be a Gibbon one of these days."
SEDITION.—The surest way to prevent seditions (if
the times do bear it) is to take away the matter of
them; for if there be fuel prepared, it is hard to tell
whence the spark shall come that shall set it on fire.—
Lord Bacon.
A PRIVATE of the Galloway Rifles was recently
standing sentry when an officer, noticing that he had
a black eye, accosted him and charged him with having
been fighting. " Please sir," replied the soldier, "it
was for that you engaged me."
THE MOMENTOUS QUESTION.—Wife-beating appears
to be an amusement which has reached to such a fear-
ful extent, that we should advise young ladies, when
the question is popped, to put the preliminary inter-
rogative to these would-be husbands of " Do you bruise
your wife ?"
A SPORTSMAN of the Munchausen school, boasting
that he had shot 999 pigeons at one shot, was advised
to add one when he next told the story, for the sake
of even numbers. " What !" exclaimed he, in great
dudgeon, " do you think, then, I would tell a lie for the
sake of a pigeon ?"
THE late George Lamb being congratulated by a
friend upon his recent election for Westminster, ob-
served that it was scarcely a subject of congratulation,
as the necessity for his attendance at the house might
force him to quit the bar. " I don't apprehend that,"
replied his friend ; " what is to prevent your being
both house-Lamb and bar-Lamb ?"
I%in. BIITTERWORTH gave evidence in a recent law
case, and Serjeant Buzfuz wished to shake Butter-
worth's credit. So, cross-examining another witness,
he asked him " What is Butter worth ?" " Thirteen
pence a pound," was the answer, although I have paid
as much as —" A roar of laughter extinguished
Serjeant Buzfuz.
SECOND NATURE.—Physical force, moral force, and
the police force are all very powerful things ; and so
is the force of habit. It killed a young gentleman,
last month, at Bunbury Academy. He was the only
boy left at school in the holidays, and the very first
walk he took he split himself, poor fellow, in trying to
walk two and two.—American paper.
SIR THOMAS LAWRENCE was accused in company of
paying attentions to ladies without meaning anything,
and a gentleman present said some very hard things
of the male coquette. A lady, however, defended him,
saying " she really believed the majority of women
would rather be courted and jilted, than not courted
at all."
HEALTH,---Health is the soul that animates all the
pleasures of lif,e ; and without it a man starves at the
best of tables-4$ poor and wretoh9d an the midst of
the greatest treasures. Without health, youth loses
all its vigour, beauty all its charms ; music is grating
to the ears ; conversation disagreeable ; palaces are
prisons, riches useless, honours and attendants cumber-
some, and crowns themselves a burthen.
Do AS YOU PRo3iisE.---There is no necessity for
breaking your word. In the first place, never pro-
mise anything, unless you know it to be in your power
to fulfil : and in the second place, make up your mind,
before you promise, that whatever you do promise you
will fulfil. By so doing, you will gain and enjoy the
confidence of those around you. When such a
character is established, it will be of more value than
ermine, gold, or princely diadem.
THE HoN. NYRUM REYNOLDS, of Wyoming county,
one of the American barristers of a former generation
was one day accused in court of bad penmanship and
worse spelling. " Gen'l'men o' the jury," said he,
" learned counsel on the other side finds fault with my
writin' and spellin', as though the merits of the case
depended upon such matters ! I'm agin luggin' in
any sich outside affairs, but I will say that a man must
be a peat fool who can't spell a word more than one
way. The jury sympathised with Reynolds, and
rendered a decision in favour of his client.
TORIES, WHIGS, AND RADICALS.—"He said he could
tell a man's politics by his shirt. ' A Tory, sir,' said
he, for he was a pompous old boy was old Blue-Nose ;
' a Tory, sir,' said he, ' is a gentleman, every inch of
him, stock, lock, and barrel ; and he puts on a clean
frill shirt every day. A Whig, sir,' said he, 'is a
gentleman, every other inch of him, and he puts an
unfrilled one on every other day. A Radical, sir, ain't
no gentleman at all, and he only puts on one of a Sun-
day. But a Chartist, sir, is a loafer ; he never puts
one on till the old one won't hold together no longer,
and drops off in pieces.—Sam Slick in England.
RUBINI having been informed that his statue in
white marble was about to be executed as an orna-
ment to the forum of his native town, he, with his
habitual insouciance, and little touched with the
honour intended him, demanded how much it would
cost. On being answered that the expense would be
1,2001., he said, " Well, then, let them give me the
money, and when the day intended for the inaugura-
tion arrives, I will place myself in propria persona
on the pedestal, so that the town will enjoy the
original instead of a copy, and I shall be 1,200 f. the
richer."
THE BEEFSTEAK CLUB.---The well-known Cobb
(the late Secretary at the India-house) was, on one
occasion, vice-president of this club, and filled the
chair opposite to Alderman —, who, as president,
sat at the head of the table. The member in the
president's chair was, by inveterate usage, the subject
for universal attack ; puns, jokes, and repartees were
levelled at him in unmerciful abundance, and on this
occasion the vice-president Cobb' led him a sad life.
At last the Alderman exclaimed, " Would to heaven I
had another vice-president. Oh ! that I had a gentle-
man opposite me." " Why should you wish any such
thing," said Cobb, " you cannot be more opposite to a
gentleman than you are at present."
HAIR DRESSING A LA RACHEL.—The New York
hair-dressers have just introduced a new style of
dressing hair under the above title. It is thus
described :—" The back hair is plaited in the wide
Circassian braid, and arranged so as to form a star ; a
Grecian braid, through which pearls are interwoven,
is brought round, forming a border or trimming to
the wider braid, and in the centre a diamond star
shines forth from a contrasting background of black
velvet. Between each of the four points of the star
are placed bunches of small flowers, violets, myrtle
blossoms, or rosebuds, with pendant sprays falling on
each side of the neck; the two upper clusters-meet
the front, which is looped up in two thick curls,
brought down rather long on the face."
GOLDEN APHORISMS.---" The slanders, perchance,
may be not altogether forged or untrue ; they may be
the implements, not the invention of malice. But
they do not, on this account, escape the guilt of
detraction. It is not expressible how deep. a wound a
tongue sharpened to this work will give, with no noise
and a very little word."---Coleridge's Aids to Reflec-
tion. " When you say somewhat good of a man,
which he does not deserve, there is no wrong done to
him in particular. Whereas, when you say evil of a
man which he does not deserve, there is a direct,
formal, serious injury ; a real act of injustice done to
him. Even in a case Nirl

THE MINISTERIAL VACANCIES.
WHEN Lord PALMERSTON was elevated into the
position of Prime Minister, in seeming accordance
with the popular voice, we disputed his claim to the
distinction, upon the ground that, notwithstanding
the length of his official career, he had never displayed
any greater ability than in making plausible excuses
for the errors he had committed. His popularity, as
far as the public at large is concerned, has long since
dwindled away, and the estimation in which he is held
by the leading men of parties seems still more illusory.
He commenced his career as Premier by a coalition
with the Peelites, who quickly seceded from the alli-
ance ; he took into his Cabinet his bitterest political
foe, who was subsequently dismissed with ignominy
hceasssittyw,oheimfilpleodrtathnet
highest offices of the State with men untried and
yhene
foral m hisos t t
unknownr each e r y ; coamndpelnleodwb
stations vacant, and is apparently at his wit's end to
find men of respectability to fill them. The office of
Colonial Secretary has been offered to Lord STANLEY,
and, notwithstanding the alleged Radical predilections
of the heir of the House of DERBY, he has declined
the proffered honour, upon the advice, it is believed, of
his Conservative father. A re-opening of negotiations
with the Peelites has been talked of ; but this will
not strengthen public confidence in a Ministry already
suspected of deficiency of zeal to carry on the war ;
and as the next resort is to the obscurity from which
the Premier has already recruited his ranks, it is not
surprising that an appeal to the people by a dissolution
of Parliament should be seriously discussed as a neces-
sity almost inevitable. It is a result of the present
position of affairs, which seems by no means improba-
ble ; and it behoves the Conservatives throughout. the
kingdom to be well-prepared to take full advantage of
it. There can be little doubt that if the intelligence
and sound common-sense of the electoral body be
fairly appealed to, they will welcome the accession of
a Conservative Ministry, which can only be accom-
plished by returning Conservative members to the
House of Commons. Sufficient experience must have
been acquired of the folly of trusting to Radicals or
Peelites, through whose mismanagement the war has
proved a greater evil than it need have done. Much
has yet to be accomplished before we can hope to wit-
ness a return to peace upon a lasting foundation ; but
the people may be assured of this, that the most
certain means of achieving the object will be found
to be under the auspices of a Conservative Adminis-
tration.

THE CRIMEA.
The Inralide also publishes the following telegraphic
despatch from Prince Gortschakoff :
Yesterday the enemy again made a strong demonstration
from the side of Eupatoria, with 30 squadrons of cavalry and
six battalions of infantry; they advanced from Saki upon
Tchebotar, but they were stopped by our advanced guard,
with which they exchanged some cannon shots. They then
fell back on Saki, where they remained during the night.
This morning the enemy renewed their attempt, a part of
their force advancing upon Temesch ; but when our division
of Lancers, supported by a reserve of Dragoons, began to
threaten their left flank, they at noon again retired upon`Saki.
For the rest, all goes well on every point.
Prince Gortschakoff, has transmitted to St. Petersburg the
'ollowing despatch from the Crimea :
OCTOBSE 29.
The enemy's force kept its position at the village of Saki
during the past night, but at eight this morning it has again
moved to Eupatoria. Our outposts have taken their former
positions.
Nothing remarkable has occurred on any other point.
RESIGNATION OF BRITISH GENERALS IN THE CRIMEA.—
The Globe says :—" It is with some surprise and regret that
we hear that some of the senior generals of the Crimean army
have resigned their divisions, because their junior, General
Codrington, has been invested with the chief command. Sir
.Colin Campbell returns home on private affairs, and it has
been said that professional jealousy is one of the causes of his
return. There are two other general officers senior to the
Commander-in-Chief, General Barnard and Lord Rokeby.
We sincerely hope that no considerations of etiquette will in-
duce them to abandon at once the posts they hold, and their
fair prospects of high distinction. Sir Richard Airey, the
Quartermaster-General, also returns home. He is junior to
General Codringfon, and, of course, can have no cause of com-
plaint. It is understood that he returns to fill an important
situation of the staff at home."

Kitcheners, which has been put up in my kitchen. I have given
the same a fair trial, as it has been in use for three months. It
bakes and roasts well ; in fact, I am pleased with it in all respects,
particularly as it keeps the kitchen clean and free from smoke.
If oily of my friends shn.,ld wiclpt anything of thc.l-ind. will not

OLD DR. JACOB TOWNSEND'S AMERICAN
SARSAPARILLA.—This is one of the most extraordinary
and valuable Medicines in the world. Its superiority over other
preparations of like character, made in this country, arises from
the mode of manufacture, and the advantage of obtaining and
working the root in its green and fresh state. The root, when
brought to this country, is dry, vapid, and almost tasteless, its
virtues and juices having all evaporated; while it often becomes
mouldy, musty, and partially decayed, so that it is quite unfit for
use. ENOLISH TESTIMONY.
We give a few of the many communications we have received
since we have been in England, from those who have experienced
the great benefits of using this celebrated medicine. They must
have some weight in convincing the public of its great value.
49, Davies-street, Berkeley-square, Sept. 1, 1831.
Gentlemen,—l have much pleasure in testifying to the nume-
rous thanks I have received from various persons who have taken
Old Dr. Jacob Townsend's Sarsaparilla, many of whom will be
happy to give you testimonials should you require them. I am
doubly pleased to be able to speak to the good effects I have seen
myself produced by the Sarsaparilla; for I must confess that,
although I was not prejudicial, I was rather sceptical as to its
virtues, which I would not have believed it possessed, had I not
seen it.—l am, your obedient servant, Jon NJA MI ESON.
Messrs. Pomeroy, Andrews, and Co.
FURTHER IMPORTANT TESTIMONY.-OREATCURE OF PILES.
17, Phelps-street, Walworth, Feb. 22, 1833.
Gentlemen,-1 was afflicted with the blind Piles, and was under
medical treatment for three months, but obtained no relief.
Hearing of Old Dr. Jacob Townsend's Sarsaparilla, I obtained
some, and, after taking it a short time, the accumulated corrupt
matter copiously discharged, and I almost immediately obtained
relief. I still continued its use for a time, and not only found
relief, but a cure, and am now free from pain. I most sincerely
recommend it to all who are similarly affected. Wm. HYDE.
Messrs. Pomeroy, Andrews, and Co. -
8, Ashley-terrace, City-road, London, June 9, 1852.
GENTLEMEN,—PIease send me again three quart bottles of Old
Or. Townsend's Sarsaparilla. I feel much better, and the general
system greatly improved, and 1 hope I shall be all right with the
three now ordered.—Yours very respectfully, JOHN W. MUNCH.
Messrs. Pomeroy, Andrews, and Co., 373, Strand.
William Wearn, 1, High-street, Southsea, writes," I have taken
several bottles of Old Townsend's Sarsaparilla, and derived benefit
from it." Rev. J. W. Wilson, Wesleyan Minister, at Biggleswade,
writes, June 7, 1852, " I have derived much benefit from taking
Dr. Townsend's Sarsaparilla."
FEMALE COMPLAINTS.—GREAT CURE OF NERVOUSNESS.
London, June 10, 1852.
Gentlemen,—My wife has been long afflicted with a nervous
complaint, from which she suffered severely. Able physicians and
many remedies were tried in vain, but I am happy to inform you
that she has entirely recovered by using a few bottles of Old Dr.
Townsend's Sarsaparilla. J. R. PETERSON.
Messrs. Pomeroy, Andrews, and Co.
PIMPLES, BLOTCHES, ERUPTIONS, &C.
The same may be said of these as in the cure of the severer
chronic maladies ; the Sarsaparilla and the Ointment will effec-
tually wipe off all disagreeable eruptions, and render the surface
clear and beautiful. Ladies troubled with rough, pimply skin, or
a gross, masculine surface, will do well to use these Medicines, if
they wish clear, delicate, and transparent complexions. Nothing
can exceed their efficacy in this respect.
CURE OF A DISORDERED STOMACH.
Lower Grosvenor-street, Grosvenor-square, July 31, 1851.
Gentlemen,-1 beg to inform you that 1 have been using your
Medicine, Dr. Townsend's Sarsaparilla, for a complaint in my sto•
macb, from which I suffered a long time, and I am happy to say
it has cured me. I shall to answer any letter of inquiry, as your
Sarsaparilla is worthy of all the recommendation I can give it.

SICK HEADACHE—A CASE OF MANY YEARS' STANDING.

The following is one of those cases arising from a disordered state

or less for ten years, and has now entirely recovered by the use of
Dr. Townsend'a Sarsaparilla. " Berkeley-square, Jan. 15, 1853.
" Messrs. Pomeroy and Co.—l have used your Dr. Townsend's
Sarsaparilla for sick headache and general debility, arising from
a disordered state of my eystem, and am happy to inform you
that it has completely restored me to former health and strength.
I experience a degree of comfort, buoyancy of spirits, and renewed
strength, which I have not known for ten years. This great benefit
alone induces me to write an acknowledgment. Disliking my
name in full to go before the public, I give my initials only.

PROVISIONS.
LIVERPOOL, Nov. 9.—The transactions in beef for the week
are again below the average extent, but the reports from London
and the outports represent a more active demand. Holders here
are very firm, and the stock gets into a small compass. Pork is
in fair demand at full prices, but business is restricted from want
of assortment. Irish bacon is again lower, but new American is
much wanted, and the first arrivals will, meet with a ready sale.
Lard moves rather slowly at last week's prices; the refiners com-
plain of a falling-off in the consumption.. The market for cheese
is quiet, with holders rather more pressing.
Nov. 12.—The transactions in butter were to a moderate
extent, during the past week, at very full rates for consumption,'
and for choice qualities is to 2s per cwt. advance was obtained,
and prices are very high in Ireland, and continued to look up;
the supply is liberal, but the stock being small the market is
strong at the quotations. Waterford and Dungarvan, 1055 to 1085;

TEMPERANCE TEA-PARTY.—The Liverpool South Total
Abstinence Society celebrated their sixth anniversary by a
tea-party, in the Teutonic-hall, Lime-street, on Tuesday. After
tea, Mr. John Carter, the president of the society, took the
chair, and addressed the company at considerable length on
the subject of temperance, and the success of their association.
Addresses were also delivered by Mr. F. Bishop, Dr. Eden,
Mr. J. Russell, Mr. Watts, and other gentlemen. During the
course of the evening several temperance melodies were sung,
with piano:forte accompaniment.
POSTAGE TO AIISTRALIA.—GeneraI Post-office, November,
1855.—0 n and from the 7th instant, the postage on letters
addressed to the colony of Victoria (Australia), whether con-
veyed by-packet or by private ship, will again be reduced to ed.
when not exceeeing half an ounce in weight; ls. when exceed-
ing half an ounce, and not exceeding- one ounce; and so on,
increasing iq. for each ounce or fraction of au ounce. This
postage will include both the British and colonial rates, and
it may be paid in advance, sar the letters may be forwarded un-
paid, at the option of the sender.
FIRE.-0E Friday afternoon a fire broke out in the pre-
mises belonging to Mrs. Johnson, Pleasant-street, and
occupied by Mr. Corlett, cabinet-maker, &C. There was a
large quantity of finished cabinet goods, which, together
with the flooring of the place, was entirely consumed, as well
as the workmen's tools, which were their own property.
None of the goods or implements were insured. The West
of England fire engine was shortly on the spot, and rendered
effective service by playing on the adjoining houses, which
were thus preserved. It is reported that the fire originated
in consequence of some children having been playing with
some fire adjacent to the premises.
SUPPOSED Loss OF A PRESTON STEAMER.—Great excite-
ment has been created in Preston, by the rumoured loss of-
the Lady Lindsay, iron screw-steamer, of that port, in the gale
of Tuesday week. The Lady Lindsay is a new Dutch-built
vessel, of 187 tons register. She proceeded from Preston to
Lytham dock on Monday fortnight, which place she left for
Dublin, between three and four o'clock on Tuesday morning.
She ought to have reached her destination on Wednesday
week, and to have returned to Preston on the following day ;
but no tidings have been received of her. The length of time
elapsed almost precludes the hope that she may have escaped,
and the belief is, that she must have come into collision with
some other vessel during the gale of Tuesday, and have foun-
dered. There were fourteen persons on board when she left
Preston.
THE GREAT BRITAIN.—The steam transport Great Britain,
Captain Gray, went into Portsmouth harbour on Thursday
afternoon, to land the invalid troops. This transport carried,
between March the 7th and the 11th of August last, 258 officers,
9,437 men, 55 women, 66 children, and 146 horses to various
places for the service of the war. She left England again on
the 4th of September, and arrived at Portsmouth on the 7th
inst., having carried during that interval, 43 officers, 970 men,
and 22 horses, English troops; 5 officers, 1,800 men, and 25
horses, Turkish troops ; 36 dicers, 121 men, 6 women, 4
children, 1 officer's wife, and 2 children, invalids, &c., several
hundred tons of camp equipage, 500 tons of shell, 3,437 pieces
of huts, baggage, which have been transported with"
the universal satisfaction of all on board and the Crown
authorities.
THREATENED STRIKE IN MANCHESTER.--In consequence
of notice having been given to their hands by 27 of the
leading spinners in Manchester, of their intention to reduc-
wages,-seme-excitement and opposition has been manifested.
The object of the reduction has been stated to be the
adjustment of the rate of wages paid in Manchester to
those paid in other surrounding districts. The hands
object to any reduction being made at a time like
the present, when provisions of all kinds are so ,dear, and
express a determination, on the expiration of the ,notice in
each case, to turn-out sooner than submit, although they
have no objection to work short-time if the masters think
it necessary to enable them to obtain better prices. As yet
no turn-out has taken place, nor do we think it likely that
the masters will persevere. In two instances, the period at
which the employers had fixed the reduction to commence
has arrived, and, in both cases, the notice has been with-
drawn. The notices withdrawn are those of Messrs. Kelly,
and Gilmour, and Messrs. Kennedy.—Manchester Courier.
BREADSTUFFS FROM CALIFORNIA.—A cargo of a some-
what novel character has arrived-at Liverpool. On Tuesday,
the American ship Harvy Birch arrived in the Mersey, from
San Francisco, with a cargo of flour and wheat, and a small
quantity of wool. It is not a very long time since breadstuffs
and other provisions were imported into California from Great
Britain ' • and, as we understand the flour and wheat brought
by the Harvy Birch has been grown in the former country,
we cannot but remark its progress in agriculture, notwith-
standing the attractions of the Californian gold-fields. This
fact promises well for the future welfare of that distant state
of the American Union ; and onr own colony of Australia
may, at no very distant day, materially contribute towards the
quantity of breadstuffs we draw from abroad. The earth has
more lasting treasures than gold, others that minister more
towards the permanent prosperity of a country ; and although
the high price of flour in England may have something to do
I with the consignment of Californian-flour to agents at this
' port, the fact is important to commerce, and pregnant with
example to our Australian colony as pointing out the direction
in which the best interests of the colonists lie.
GARSTON LOCAL BOARD.—The monthly meeting of this
board was held on Tuesday, at the Hotel, Aighurth, Mr. Mor-
ris in the chair. The other members present were Messrs.
Cooper, Bevan, Chidson, Watts, and Moss. The surveys of
the township, by Mr. Gitto, which had been sent to the Gen-
eral Board of Health in London, for their approval, were re-
turned to this board, approved as first-class plans. The pro-
ceedingaof the works and health committee were read. They
recommended that the plans above alluded to should be de-
posited in the Monis Fire-office, and insured for £l5O. A•
letter had been received by the committee from Mr. Clare,
giving notice that lie intended to appeal against the assess-
ment of some land which belonged to him, but which was not
let, nor did he derive any profit from it whatever. Mr.
Cooper said that a large estate of 60 acres, which had been
parcelled out, and never had paid rates before, bad this year
been partially rated. The matter stood over until the next
meeting of the board. A letter was read from Mr. Water-
house, protesting against the flagging of Elmwood-road, so
far as his property was concerned. The letter was received,
and the proceedings of the committee, on the motion of Mr,
Bevan, seconded by Mr. Chidson, were confirmed. The board
soon afterwards adjourned.
THE Singapore Free Press reports three deaths within a
week from tigers, inquired into by the coroner, and declares
that it is no exaggeration to say that at least one person a
day is killed by tigers in Singapore. The victims,_ however,
are generally Chinese coolies; and as a European or two must
be slain before anything will be done to remedy the evil, the
Free Press is almost induced to entertain the wish that some
of the government officials may have the misfortune to be
amongst the next victims.
MANCHESTER AND LIVERPOOL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY-
-Mr. Ryder, the secretary to this society, has given notice
that a special general- meeting of the society will be held at
the Nags Head Hotel, Warrington to-morrow, to receive the
inspector's report on crops (class 2), and slackings (class 3),
and to award prizes thereon; to revise th_e society's rules and
list of prizes ; to audit the treasurer's accounts ; to appoint
officers for the next year ; to fix the time and place for hold-.
ing next year's show of live stock, &c., and on general
business.
A FvRIoUB CoNvter.—A sanguinary conflict took place a
few days ago at the prison at Ghent. At the time of the
evening meal, a prisoner named Van Rompaey refused to come
down, and, on being remonstrated with by oue of the jailors
and another prisoner, attacked_the former with a large pair
of scissors, and severely wounded him, as well as another pri-
soner who interfered. Rompaey got possession of the sabre
of the jailor, but was disarmed. In the scuffle he received a
wound in the abdomen, from the effects of which he died
during the night. No motive could be assigned for his violence,
TITS HYDE-PARK NuisescEs.—Another low mob again as-
sembled in the park on Sunday. A notice had been issued
that a disturbance would not be tolerated, and 1,000 police
were present to enforce it. A mounted detachment broke
1 upon any large groups as fast as they were formed, whilst-
large reserves were ready to act if necessary. The people,
after yelling and hooting for several hours, dispersed, but a
few were taken into custody. The police-showed great for-
bearance. The greatest number of persons present at one
time may have been 10,000 or 12,000. Their conduct was I
very troublesome, but not. dangerous.
TOBACCO FAMINE Ii FRANCE.—An unusual circumstance
has created no little sensation at Bayonne—during the last
few days there have been no cigars nor tobacco for sale ! The
stocks of the various dealers and that of the depot became
completely exhausted, owing, as was said, to the inundations
having prevented the- expected arrivals. The smokers grum-
bled bitterly,and then proceeded to purchase all the tobacco that
could be found in the neighbouring villages. The supply ob-
tained was but scantY, and when it Was exhausted, messengers
were despatched as far as Dax, by railway, a distance of 75

A
a CfrcelsDhEsNtor occurredre.—Gal on Tuesday,
ignan j'sMesstelnle 30thger ult.,
, to Colonel Sandys and his family. Between five and six o'clock
! they left Baddesley Clinton for Solihull, to dine with some
1 friends. After proceeding for some distance, the carriage was
brought to a sudden stop by a violent crash, and, on the
' colonel alighting, he found that a tree had fallen across the
vehicle, knocking down the coachman from the box and the
footman from the rumble, and completely enveloping the'
1 horsesinifi boughs. Both the servants were injured though
not severely, and assistance having been procured to extricate
the carriage, the party safely continued their journey to Soli-
hull, the colonel acting as coachman.—Birmingham Gazette.
MURDEROUS OUTRAGB.—Barton, near Bury, has been the
scene of a most distressing occurrence. About one o'clock in
i the morning, Mr. J. Manning, a farmer, of Barton, together
, with his nephew, was aroused by a noise in the fowlhouse
I adjoining the farmhouse. They both descended from their
bedrooms, and went towards the fowlhouse, from which
escaped four persons, having in their possession a large
number of ducks. The nephew and Mr. Manning attacked
1 the thieves, the latter being a man of great strength as well
1 as courage. The delinquents made a murderous assault upon
I both uncle and nephew, by which the former was struck in
i .the face, the blow shattering his nose and knocking an eye
1 completely 'MAW the socket, as well as taking a- part of the
1 scalp off his head. This was done with a gnu which the
party had with them.: The nephew also was much bruised.
Two privates in the West Suffolk Militia, named George
Baker and William Esterford, are in custody. Mr. Manning
I lies in a most precarious state.

THE GROWTH OF FLAX IN ENGLAND.—The quantity of
flax imported into this country having been considerably
diminished in consequence of the war, the attention of agri-
culturists in England has been directed to its cultivation. It
appears that the great obstacle hitherto has been the trouble
and expense of preparing it for the market. • Tills is now ob-
viated by the formation of a company, wha. are said to be
ready to take the flax from the farmers, as soon as it is cut,
for £l5 and £l6 an acre., At a large meeting of agricultu-
rists, held near Exeter, on Tuesday, Mr. Fulford, a county
magistrate, recommended its growth, and stated that when in
Lancashire, two years ago, a company at Liverpool purchased
160 acres from the farmers, and gave them £2O an acre for it,
with which they were well satisfied, while in no instance was
the cost of the land more than 255. per acre. It did not re-
quire very good land, and some of the best samples he had
seen had been grown at Dartmoor. Under these circum-
stances it would prove a very remunerative article for
cultivation.
THE WINTER ASSIZES are all now arranged; so far as the
counties are concerned wherein a general gaol delivery is con-
sidered to be most pressing ; and the judges have arranged
the places, but have not yet fixed the days for opening the
commission in the several towns. The following is the
present arrangement of the places where the assizesselecte are d

REFORMATORY MOVEMENT.—Some of the leading pro-
moters of the reformation of youthful offenders, including T.
Barwick Baker, Esq. Sir J. Pakington, M.P., Sir Stafford
Northcote, and'Sir T. Winnington, M.P., have founded
an association called the Reformatory Union, the principal
objects of which are to collect and diffuse information bearing
on the reformation of criminals ; to promote the formation of
reformatory institutions where needed, and generally to ad-
vance the further practical development of the reformatory
movement ; to consider and promote such legislative measures
as are still required for the better care and reformation of youth-
ful offenders; to assist in the placing out and subsequent guar-,
dianship and protection of young persons leaving reformatory
institutions ; to consider and promote means for the employ-
ment and restoration to society of discharged prisoners ; and
to promote the practical training and preparation of efficient
masters and teachers far reformatory institutions. A general
meeting of the members of the association will be held in
,London in May next:; and it is proposed, with a view to the
more general diffusion of information, and for the purpose of
exciting an interest in the cause in various neighbourhoods, to
follow the example of several other societies, (such as the
Royal Agricultural, the Archeological, and the British Asso-
ciation,) and to hold a country meeting, lasting one or more
days, in the course of every autumn.
Rnscrn OF A SHIPWRECKED CREW.—On Wednesday
morning, the brig Darlington, Captain Chicken, was towed
into the Southampton Water, and moored alongside the pier,
having on board the whole of the crew of the Minerva, con--
_misting of the captain, mate, and eight seamen, who were
wrecked on the Dogger Bank on the 31st ult. On that day
the Darlington, bound from Memel for Southampton, laden-
with timber, while passing the Dogger Bank in a gale of
wind, espied a bark in distress, which was. fbuud to be the
Minerva, laden with firewood, bound from' Droback for
London. She was waterlogged, her mainmast was gone, and
her boats stove in ; while the crew, all of whom were Norwe-
gians, were clinging to the wreck. The sea was running high,
and the weather was extremely boisterous ; but the captain of
the Darlington put his vessel about, and, running as near to
the wreck as possible, learnt the state of the crew, upon which
he lowered his own boat, and, attaching a warp to it, again
put about, and repassed the bark, allowing his own boat to go
as near as possible to the doomed vessel, and thereby enabling
the crew to jump into the boat as she was passing. This was
.done four successive times, and occupied a period of four
I.l2ours, and by this means the whole of the crew of the
Minerva were taken on board the Darlington, where every
attention was paid them by the humane and gallant captain.
The Darlington weathered the gale, and arrived on Wednes-
day with the loss of part of her bulwarks, and also a portion
of her deck load. The shipwrecked crew were sent to London
by the Norwegian consul at the port.
LAST WEEK, in the London Insolvent Debtors' Court,
Robert Hales, the Norfolk giant, was heard, and his appear-
ance attracted a crowded court. The hearing occupied some
time, and several of the answers of the giant convulsed the
audience with laughter. Mr. Nichols opposed for Messrs.
Webb and Messrs. Salt ; Mr. Sargood and Mr. IL B. Jones,
supported. It appeared that the arrest was a friendly proceed-
ing by a creditor named Green, and that there was property
given up which had already yielded £250, and other property
was to be realised. The debts were £2,900, and he had lost
£l,BOO of his own money, which be had saved. About £5OO
he made when he was with Barnum, the showman, in America.
—Mr. Commissioner Phillips : Have you any family ?—ln-
solvent : Yes; a small wife. (Laughter.)—Further, it ap-
peared that the wearing apparel was £7O a-year„ which the
commissioner thought was a large sum, considering that he
had a " small" wife ; on which he replied that he wanted a
" large" coat. His expenses for cabs were great, as he could
not walk about, as the boys were always running after him.
He had a robbery in his house, to about £6O. The insolvent
said he had asked the creditor to arrest him, and he said he
would do so to " oblige him." (Laughter.) Mr. Hudson, a
wine merchant, complained that shortly before the failure the
insolvent got £26 worth of wine.--It was past five o'clock
' when Mr. Commissioner Phillips adjourned the case for a
week, to lay the facts before Mr. Commissioner Murphy. The
crowd dispersed, and the giant was allowed to remain at large
on bail.
FIRE IN A DISTILLERY.—On Tuesday afternoon, a fire
broke out in Leith distillery, which was attended, with great
destruction of property. It is supposed to have arisen from
the air of the malt room having become impregnated with-the-
light malt dust falling from the rollers, which, from its den-
sity and want of ventilation, appears to have caught fire at a
jet of gas. According to an excise regulation, which came
into operation only last month, the malt mill was enclosed and
the men engaged in the work locked in. . The excise used to
charge upon the malted grain in distilleries, giving the dis-
tiller a drawback upon any less quantity of spirits produced,
but now the duty is not imposed till after distillation, and it is
to prevent any of the malted grain being surreptitiously car-
ried away for brewing purposes that the enclosure takes place
during the process of rolling. On this occasion there were
three men shut into the mill, each being engaged in different
stories. When the fire was perceived,,they called loudly for
help, but, the doors being locked, no aid could at first be ren-
dered them, and some time elapsed before the excise officer
reached the spot and found the, proper key. When the door
was at length opened, no one could enter from the great heat
and smoke, and-some fears were entertained for the men's
safety. Meanwhile, they had escaped by forcing a barricaded
window in the top of the building, one of them being a little
scorched by the flames before getting out. In a short time,
the building was in a sheet of flame, a spirit receiver, contain-
' ing 3,000 gallons, catching fire and adding fearfully to the fury
of the blaze. The fire was not extinguished till'late in the
evening. The property destroyed included the malt mill and
stores, a new distilling apparatus, the spirit receiver, a wash.
back containing 20,000 gallons of wash, a, wash charger with
7,000 gallons, the kiln, ez.e. The loss is estimated at £7,000
or £B,OOO,

THE BATTLE OF KARS.
FOREIGN-OFFICE, Nov. 10.
The Earl of Clarendon has received a despatch from Major
-
General Williams, Her Majesty's Commissioner with the
Turkish Army in Asia, of which the following is a copy :"
KARS, Oct, 3.
My Lord,—l had the honour to announce to your Lordship,
on the evening of the 29th ult., the glorious victory gained on
the morning of that day by the Sultan's troops on the heights
above Kars, over the Russian army commanded by General
Muravieff, andi now beg to furnish your Lordship with the
principal incidents of that sanguinary battle.
Your Lordship will, perhaps, recollect that in my despatch,
No. 123, of the 26th of June, I stated that the Russian Gene-
ral, after his second demonstration against the southern face
of our entrenchments, which is Ranked by Hafiz Pasha Tabia
and Kanli Tabia, marched south, and established his camp at
Bugah Tikine, a village situated alfout four miles from Kars.
Knowing that General Muravieff served in the army which
took Kars in 1828, I conceived his last manoeuvre to be pre-
paratory either to a reconnaissance, or an attack upon the
heights of Tahmasb, whence the Russians successfully pushed
their approaches in the year above cited.
While, therefore, the enemy's columns were in march to-
wards Bugah Tikme, I visited those heights with Lieutenant-
Colonel Lake, and, after studying the ground, decided upon
the nature of the works to be thrown up ; these were planned
and executed by Lieutenant-Colonel Lake with great skill and
energy. I enclose for your Lordship's information a plan
made by that officer of the town and its neighbouring
heights, which are situated on the opposite side of the river of
Kars Chi, over which three temporary bridges had been -
thrown to keep up our communications. As all verbal des-
criptions or bird'seye views of ground convey but an imperfect
idea of any locality, I beg to enclose a sketch made by Mr.
Churchill, which will, I trust, tend to elucidate my descrip-
tion..
Your Lordship will observe that, while our camp and ma-
gazines in the town were rendered as safe as circumstances
would allow, the hills above Kars commanded all, and were,
therefore, the keys of our position.
The intrenchments of Tahmasb, being those nearest the
enemy's camp, demanded the greatest vigilance from all in-
trusted with their defence. General Kmety, a gallant Hun-
garian officer, commanded the division which occupied this
eminence ; he was assisted by Major-General Hussein Pasha
mid my- Aide-de-Camp, Major Teesdale, who has acted as his
Chief of the Staff'.

LAMPS AND CHANDELIERS.
FL. HAUSBURG, 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 reasserted, but the whole of the prices
have been very considerably reduced, thereby offering every pos-
sible inducement to giye 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 .... 105.
Three-light Ditto, with Globes, Burners, Length- I£2 58.
ening Rod, Socket, and Ball, fixed complete
Very pretty Chandeliers, for Drawing-rooms, fitted with l ae.3Os.
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 al
at the moat moderate prices, namely :
Complete, with the best mechanism and all the latest improve
ments, with Globe, Chimney, and Cottons,
At 155., 185. 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 0114,
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 Aur6ole 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 Cost
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.

" A grave had been dug in St. Botolph's church-yard,
Aldgate. Subsequently two grave-diggers descended
into it. They fell dead instantly." " A grave-digger,
named Green, while employed in the church-yard of
St. Margaret's, Westminster, was seen to fall. He
was conveyed to the hospital, and received all due
care, but died in a few days. His medical attendant
was similarly affected, and died four days after the
grave-digger. The servant of the medical man was
seized the day following her master's death : in a few
days she was a corpse." Cases of this description
might be greatly multiplied : but these are enough
for our purpose. They are to be found, among others,
in Mr. Walker's well-known works on the grave-yards
of London; and the Board of Health, in their report
on a scheme for extramural sepulture, not only bear
ample testimony to the greatness of the evils exposed
through the zeal of this gentleman, but show that " as
far as examination has yet proceeded," the burial-
places of country towns are, to say the least, in a
condition equally dangerous with those of the metro-
polis. "We have hitherto," say the Board, " met
with no single instance in which the care and manage-
ment of these places of interment are in any respect
superior."—Hopley's Lecture on Respiration.
A COATING FOR LEAD CISTERNS, GrTTERS, &C.,
FOR RAIN-WATER.—BoiI together, in one quart of
soft water, three ounces of subcarbonate of potass
(commercial pearlash), and one and a half ounce of
powdered resin, just moistened with boiled linseed
oil, until the latter ingredients are dissolved, or nearly
so ; then mix the whole with a gallon of a boiling
solution of shell-lac and borax ; allow it to cool, and
strain through coarse flannel. A colour must now be
made, of a lead grey tint, without, however, contain-
ing any of that metal. As pure rain-water is the
desired object, it may be thus prepared :—Dilute
some commercial oil of vitriol with two or three times
its bulk of water, raise it to the boiling point, and
throw in gradually a quantity of fine porcelain clay (or
pipe-clay), keeping the liquid boiling until it becomes
neutral, i. e., free from acidity (this will take several
hours) ; then strain, and add a saturated solution of
common washing soda in slight excess ; the precipi-
tate of alumina produced should be washed upon a
cloth, dried, and four-fifths of it calcined in a crucible
for half-an-hour ; when cool, to be mixed with the re-
maining fifth ; finely ground upon a stone slab, with
enough ivory-black to form the required colour. The
alumina-grey is ready for the menstruum named in
the preceding paragraph, which should be added to it,
till a creamy consistence is obtained. Give lead-flats
two coats, and allow it forty-eight hours to dry, and
rain-water will be found free from all impurities ex-
cept such as are furnished by the atmosphere. Should
the alumina-white process be too troublesome, re-
quiring only a small quantity, a mixture of 111 b. best
modelling clay, and lt-lbs. of broken tobacco pipes (to
be had at any place where they are made), finely
ground together, answers nearly as well.— Wentworth

FASHIONABLE PARTS OF THE CITY IN OLD TIMES.
—" In arranging the noble collection of state archives
under my charge," says Mr. Lemon, of the State
Paper Office, in a paper read at an entertainment to
the " Noviomagians," given by Lord Mayor Moon at
the Mansion-house, " I have occasionally made a note
of the residences of some of the most celebrated cha-
racters of the Elizabethan period, and I confine myself
to the notice of a few only on the present occasion.
Previous to Elizabeth, I find that in 1548 John Lisle,
Earl of Warwick, afterwards Duke of Northumber-
land, resided in Ely-place, and at the same time Sir
Anthony St. Leer, Lord Deputy of Ireland, had his
abode in Southwark, at Chamberlain's-wharf, in
Tooley-street, formerly called from him " St. Leger's-
wharf." In 1549, Sir Edward Wotton had a house in
Warwick-lane. In 1552, Sir Philip Hoby, at the
Tower. In 1556, Sir Roger Cholmeley lived in the
Old Bailey ; and in 1558, Sir Francis Englefield, then
Secretary of State, rusticated in the pleasant paths of
Whitefriars. Coming now to the time of Elizabeth,
in the first year "of her reign, John de Vere, Earl of
Oxford, resided at London Stone itself, so of course he
must have been a thorough Londoner. In 1559,
Frances, the celebrated Duchess of Suffolk, lived at
the Charter-house. In 1567, Richard Bertie, ancestor
of the Earls of Lindsey, lived in elegant style on his
estates in the Minories and the Barbican ; and in
1568, the learned John Jewell, Bishop. of Salisbury,
resided in St. Lawrence-lane. I doubt if the smallest
bishop that now exists, even Sodor and Man, would
voluntarily prefer living in that locality. In 1570,
Sir Thomas Gresham had Gresham-house, and there
very properly, as a citizen, he carried on his immense
mercantile transactions, as well as his diplomatic
agencies. In 1571, Lady Eleanor Pelham is found in
the Minories ; Sir Ralph Sadleir, the ambassador, in
Howard-place ; and Margaret, Countess of Lennox,
the mother of Lord Darnley, at Islington and Hack-
ney. The Lord Chief Justice Catlyn, in 1572, was
fashionable enough to take up his residence in St.
Bartholomew's the Great ; and in 1576, I find that Sir
Walter Mildmay, the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
was his next neighbour in the same place. In that
same year, Lady Mary Sydney lived at St. Paul's
wharf, Sir Richard Baker in St. John's Zachary, Sir
George Peckham at St. Sepulchre's, and Dame Eliza-
beth Leigh at St. Olave's Jury. In 1579, a serious
affray took place in Fleet-street between Mr. Edmond
Wyndham and Lord Rich, when Wyndham, being
nearly overpowered by his assailants, found refuge in
the house of the French Ambassador, in Salisbury-
court."-Ihe Builder.

CLAIM FOR SEAMEN'S WAGER.-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.

THE NEW MAYOR.
ON Friday, Mr. JOHN STEWART was elected to the
highest honour in the power of the Corporation of
Liverpool to bestow, by the unanimous voice of the
Town Council, who on this occasion represented most
fully not only the opinions of their constituents, but
also those of the whole community. A better choice
could not have been made ; and whilst we congratulate
STEWABT on having attained a dignity which is
worthy of ambition, and which no man had more
fairly and honourably earned, we also congratulate the
ratepayers of Liverpool in having the good fortune to
be governed by a chief magistrate so deserving of the
elevation. Mr. STEWART has long been conspicuous

Estate by the purchase of the Birkenhead Dock
property, is mainly owing to the indefatigable labours
the welfare of Liverpool. The architect of his own
of the new Mayor, and his ever watchful regard for
fortunes, he is a living testimony to the truth that
honour and worth from no condition rise. He pre-
sents an example worthy of imitation by the rising
youth of Liverpool ; and in taking his seat at the
head of the corporation of this great town, he practi-
cally proclaims not only that integrity, industry, and
perseverance meet with their reward, but that public
services are appreciated, and deemed to be the most
fitting qualification for the Mayor of Liverpool.
We cordially wish him every prosperity in the year
of office before him. Succeeding so estimable and
popular a Mayor as Mr. TOBIN, the task before him
is not an easy one ; but we entertain not the slightest
doubt, from all we have known of Mr. STEWART, that
the office of Mayor will in his hands lose none of its
lustre ; and that, at the close, the unanimous vote of
thanks for his valuable services will be mingled with
regret for the loss of them.

called honour, which he invoked in powerful language. The
reverend doctor quoted at considerable length from Burns'
well-known poem, the " Advice to a Young Friend." In con-
clusion, Dr. M`Neile urged strongly upon the female portion
of the community the great services they could render to the
association and to society at large, by using the influence they
possessed as mothers, wives, and sisters. He entreated them
to use that influence, and in doing so they might rest assured
that a blessing would follow their efforts. He advised the
young men to abstain from all amusements which they could
not invite their mothers, wives, or sisters to participate in.
At the conclusion of his address the reverend doctor was
much applauded.
A hymn was sung, during which a collection was made.
The Rev. H. GRIFFITIES then brieflly addressed the meeting
on the necessity for prayer. In the course of his address he
dwelt forcibly on the Divine injunction to "pray always," and
gave many forcible illustrations of its efficacy.
The Rev. S. MINION, on rising, was received with applause.
He stated his cordial approbation of the objects of the society,
and expressed satisfaction at knowing that it was making
such progress in this town, as was clearly indicated by the
large and important meeting now assembled.
Mr. R. A. MAcam moved the thanks of the meeting and
of the association to the Chairman, and also to the different
gentlemen, lay and clerical, who lent it their countenance,
and in a particular manner to those who had' delivered lec-
tures to the members.
Mr. JOHN CROPPER seconded the motion, which was
adopted by acclamation.
The Rev. V. M. WHITE pronounced the benediction, and the
meeting separated.
TVAI7.E.RTREE BOARD OF HEALTH.
Tim monthly meeting of this board was held last night
in the Public Offices. The chair was occupied by the
Rev. W. Badnall, and there were also present Messrs. Hal-
head, Hill, Amlerton, Bradburn, Gore, Chaffer, and Rishton.
The minutes of the previous meeting having been read by
Mr. Atherton, the law clerk, they were confirmed.
The CnAIRMAN then called attention to the circumstances
of the nuisance on the premises of Mr. Fingland, which had
been so frequently brought under the notice of the board.
In reference to this subject, he read a letter he had received
from Mr. Whitley, on the part of the Marquis of Salisbury,
complaining of the nuisance, and requesting that they would
immediately take measures for having it abated. He ex-
tdained that, on receiving the letter, he along with Mr. Davies
visited the premises, where they met with Mr. Finland, Who
stated his willingness 'to do everything that was necessary to
remove any reasonable ground of complaint. Subsequently,
he (the Chairman), in his private capacity, visited the pre-
mises, and there met Mr. Picton along with Mr. Fingland,
the former of whom persisted in addressing him as chairman
of the board, which he disclaimed. In the meantime, however,
no improvemerit'had been effected. In course of the dayof the
present meeting he had had transmitted to him, by Mr.
Whitley, the '.copy of a letter addressed to him by the noble
Marquis, instructing him to adopt such steps by erecting a
barrier between the property of himself and Mr. Hope, if the
Board did not immediately see the nuisance removed.
Severatmembers expressed themselves to the effect that the
matter was one in which the board could only interfere in the
mutter in` he ordinary way, by giving notice that whatever
nuisan-etnxisted should be abate&
Mr. HA.LIEEAD, after remarking that the business of the
hoard was to deal with the nuisance in such"A way as to cause
itsTemoval, but not to prescribe the exact' manner in which
that was to be effected, moved that the 'Law-clerk be in-
,' strutted to serve a notice upon Mr. Fingland to have the
nuisance abated; and that it be also an 'instruction to the
Law-olerk to communicate to Mr. Whitley'the purport of this
Tesbirtion, expressing at the -same time 'the anxious desire
entertained by the board to have the nuisance abated.
:CHAFFER seconded "the resolution, which was unani-
.rnously adopted.
The CHAIRMAN then -road a memorial presented by Mr.
A. Picton' in his own name, and that of two ladies, who,
''fie himself, were owners of property in Olive Mount. The
'memorial complained that the sewer in'that district had been ,
"made 23 feet deep, whereas a depth of seven or eight feet j
would have been sufficient. This, it was stated in the memo-
Tial, had occasioned great additional and unnecessary expense,
'which could not be of any use or benefit to the owners of the
property for a very long period.
Mr. RIanTON said he could not avoid thinking such la
memorial was the last sort of thing he should have expected
from Mr. Picton, on such a • subject. That gentleman was
himself a member of the board at' the time the works spoken
of had been undertaken, and took an active hand in them,
having made several motions on the subject of their construc-
tion. It came, therefore, with a bad grace' from him to 'com-
plain of acts to which he was' himself a party. If he did not
know the expense of the sewer; and was not conversant' with
it in all its details, dt was his own fault ; he had ampleloppor-
tunity of becoming so, and he, therefore, ought not 'to en-
deavour to get out of the responsibility attached to works to
the adoption of which he was net merely a consenting but an
acting party.
Several other members expressed themselves in wsimilar
strain.
Notwithstanding ihe stringency of the money market, a
fair extent of business has been done in sour different produce
markets during the past month. The article attracting most
attention has been sugar, which has taken a further rise of
12s. to 15s. per mt. since our last circular, and this simply
from the great deficiency in stock and expected arrivals for
the remainder of the year. Du King the last ten days there
has been a general demand both from the trade and specula-
tors, increasing in excitement each day, and a further ad-
vance of 10s: to l2s. has been established; at these prices the
impression that we must have a further advance before we
can receive anything like adequate supplies. The stock in
the four ports.is only 62,000 tons,ngainst 152,000, showing a
deficiency of .60,000 tons, 55,000 of which deficiency is esti-
mated in London, 20,000 here, and 15,000 in the Clyde and
Bristol. The consumption is progressing satisfactorily, not-
withstanding' the advanced prices demanded by the grocers-
-50 per cent. on moist, from 4d. per lb. to 61—and will be
about on a par with the last year. Molasses have, participated
in the advance in sugar, and 'good to fine West India are
worth 28s. to 295. The London sugar market was again ex-
cited yesterday, and a further advance of 3s. to 4s. was estab-

In Manchester, the market for manufactured goods
has been.in rather an uneasy.state, owing to the un-
willingness of buyers to give blue advanced prices de-
manded; and which have been rendered necessary by
the rise in the raw material; still there has been a fair
amount of busines done both for the China market and
for. Germany, and yarns, as well as manufactured goods,
are saleable at improved prices. 'There is a threat of
an extensive turn-out, •owing to somesof the masters
havinggiven notice of a reduction in thexate of wages,
a measure which is very naturally resisted at a time
when the price of all necessaries is so high, but it is
hoped that some arrangement will be come to by
which a resort to a iurn-out may be avoided. In the
Woollen trade there is very little to notice, there being
a fair amount of business transacted, and prices re-
main without alteration. The Hosiery and Lace
trades are also steady.

OPERATIONS ON THE DNIEPER.
A supplement of the Liralide Russe contains the following
telegraphic despatch from Prince Gortschakoff :
NICHOLAJEFF, Oct. 31.
The camp on the Spit of Kinburn, between the suburb and
the fortress, has been broken up by the enemy.
It is still impossible to determine exactly the strength of
the garrison they have left in Kinburn,
Their light vessels; though in smaller number, continue at
their anchorage in the Bay of Octzakoff, or cruise in the Liman,'
entering the embouchures of the Bug and Dnieper, and taking
soundings, but without ascending very far up those rivers, or
even to the points they reached when they first appeared.
The fleet, the number of which has again slightly decreased
since yesterday, is moored in the same pOsition.

• LONDON, Monday Night.
A meeting of the Cabinet Ministers will be held at the

• THE HYDE-PARK NUISANCE.
Three men were to-day committed respectively for two
months, and one month and fourteen days, for resisting the
Police on Sunday.
THE WAR
Crimea letters to October 30, at noon, have arrived.
.Pre-
parations for winter were proceeding. The Russians of late
had been firing tolerably brisk from the north side, especially
from the batteries near the head of the .harbour, and. from
Inkerman.
The Invalide Russe, of Nov. 3rd, contains the following :--
NiCOLAIEFF, Nov. Ist, 10.5 p.m.
. „ .
All the vessels of the line of the enemy's fleet have set sail.
Their light vessels remain at the anchorage near otchakoff
and Kinburn. .
The Gazette Des Posies contains the folloWing :
VAR NA, Nov. 4th.
The fire of the batteries on the south side of Sebastopol
against the northern forts doubled on the closing days of last
month. Since the 30th ultimo floating batteries, armed with
cannons of the strongest calibre, have been ready at Kamiesch,
and are to take part in the fire against Fort Constantine.
The fleet at Kinburn have received orders to send theirmortars
and large gun-boats at the mouth of the Dneiper to Kamiesch.
It is positively stated that after the arrival of these boats, a
fire from land and sea will be simultaneously opened against
the forts on the north side.
MARSEILLES, Monday.—The Indian mail arrived at 10 a.m.
THE FUNDS, STOCK, AND SHARE MARKET.
The English Funds opened with considerable heaviness;
and, after some slight fluctuations, closed at a decline—advan-
tage being taken of American rumours to press sales. In
Railways there is no important change, quotations showing
steadiness. Land, Bank, and Mining Shares are firm; Canada
Land advanced £2 per share. In Foreign Securit es, Turkish
were buoyant, and rose 1 per cent. in the forenoon, but were
not supported throughout the day.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

and we all regularly attend Court. We are ex-
tremely select as to the company we keep ; and
if a jay, or any other vulgar bird, ventures
amongst us, we send him off immediately. Not-
withstanding, we are very kind-hearted ; and I'll
venture to say that our chatter is unmixed with
slander. The gayest young lady amongst us may
pass lightly before our gravest dowagers, without
getting a single peck."
" I shall willingly accompany you, dear lady,"
I said. And then, for the first time since my
disgrace, I began to sing, carolling an extempore
offer of my heart and claw to the pretty little
magpie. But this second musical attempt was as
disastrous as the first. The lady looked frightened,
flew round me in widening circles, and at length,
without saying adieu, took her final departure.
As to the gentle turtle-dove, she had fallen fast
asleep.
Shocked and disappointed, I flew away, and,
neither knowing or caring whither I went, I
suddenly came into rather violent contact with a
bird, who was flying in an opposite direction.
We both fell on the topmost branch of a tree ;
and, as soon as I recovered my breath, I began to
apologise to my new acquaintance, who accepted
my excuses very civilly. He was larger than I,
white, and wore a top-knot on his head. I ven-
tured to inquire his name and country.
" Strange," he exclaimed, " that you do not
know me ! Have you never heard of the great
poet, Cockatoo ?"
I humbly intimated my ignorance.
" Know, then," said he " that I am that illus-
trious individual. My poems enjoy an European
reputation ; and I was just in the act of com-
posing the sixth canto of a new one, when you
knocked your head against mine. However, I
don't bear malice, and shall be happy to serve you
in any way I can. Perhaps you also cultivate the
3 fuses ?"
" I tried," said I, " a short time since, to sing
an extempore composition, but my verses pro-
duced on my auditor a strangely lulling effect.
You know what I mean, sir ?" _
" Oh, yes," replied my friend, " I often ex-
perience the same myself. I don't know the
cause, but the effect is undeniable."
" And, sir," said I, " did you ever discover a
remedy ?"
" No, indeed," replied Mr. Cockatoo, " I never
did ; and, when I was young, the drowsiness of
my auditor used to annoy me greatly, but now I
don't mind it. I believe, indeed, it proceeds
from the public attention being distracted by
other writers. People ought to confine them-
selves to our works."
" Will you, respected sir," said I, " do me the
favour to listen to one of my compositions, and
give me your candid opinion of its merits ?"
" Most willingly ; I am all attention."
I began to chant, and had the satisfaction of
seeing that Cockatoo neither fled away nor fell
asleep. He looked at me fixedly, and from time
to time nodded his head, uttering a sort of pleased
murmur. But I soon perceived that instead of
listening to me, he was composing his own poem.
Suddenly he interrupted me.
" Eureka ! I have found the rhyme I wanted.
'Tis the sixty thousand seven hundred and four-
teenth which has come from my brain. And yet
the critics dare to say that I am growing old ! I
will go recite my poem to some friends that can
appreciate its merits." So saying, he took flight
and disappeared, apparently quite oblivious of my
presence.
Alope and disappointed, I felt I had nothing
better to do than to fly towards Paris. I asked
my way from some civil birds whom I met, and,
after a few hours' flight, I reached the garden
where I had been born. Alas my parents were
gone ; the tree on which my father used to sit,
while he poured forth a melodious tide of song,
was cut down ; even the cherished ancestral
watering-pot had vanished, and I felt that I was
indeed alone in the world.
I perched on a tree which overhung the high
road, and began to bewail my melancholy fate.
" What am I?" I asked myself. "It seems that
I am neither a blackbird, nor a pigeon, nor a Rus-
sian magpie, nor a turtle-dove, nor a cockatoo.
What can I be ?"
Just then, I heard two porters, who were
passing by, dispute with each other. One of
them said to his comrade—" If you succeed in
doing that, I'll make you a present of a white
blackbird 1"
"Oh !" cried I, " that is precisely what I am
—a creature totally out of the common way—a
rara avis—a heaven-horn genius. The world
shall soon see what I am, and what I can do !"
In six weeks from that day, I published my
first great work ; there certainly were some errors
in it, on account of the marvellous rapidity with
which it was produced, but the public of the pre-
sent day are not very fastidious about trifles. My
success was sudden and brilliant ; my subject was
myself. I recounted my past sufferings with
charming facility ; I initiated my readers into a
thousand domestic details of the most entrancing
interest ; the description of my mother's watering-
pot filled no less than fourteen chapters. With
the most exquisite minuteness I delineated every
crack, every hole, every tint of colour, every
inequality on the outside ; while not a blade of
grass, a bit of straw, a dried leaf, a morsel of
stick, a fly's wing, or a beetle's leg, in the inside,
escaped particular notice. But do not suppose
that I printed all this eloquent description in a
consecutive form. No, no ; there are impertinent
readers in the world who would have then skipped
it ; but I cleverly cut it up into parts, and
mingled it with the story, so that, precisely at the
most interesting and dramatic portion of the tale,
there came in some half dozen pages concerning
the watering-pot. This, I think, is one of the
grand secrets of modern art.
All Europe was stirred by my book ; every one
devoured the confidential communications with
which I honoured the world. Not only did I
enumerate every minute incident of my life, but I
also gave at full length every dream, vision, and
wild imagining which had passed through my
brain since I was a month old. I even took care
to bring in an ode, composed by me when I was
yet enclosed in the egg-shell !
With all this, I did not fail to discuss in passing
the great topic of the day—namely, what is to be
the future destiny of mankind—what the result
of social progress ? This problem interested me.
In a few moments I sketched a solution of it,
which has given, I think, general satisfaction,
and has contributed, along with my other match-
less writings, to raise me to the rank of a rara
avis, nature having already made me a white
blackbird.

enerx-y which were in the embouchure of the Dnieper quitted
it, and joined the squadron moored in the Bay of Oczakoff.
Excepting this movement, there has been no change in the
enemy's position, nor have they attempted any operation.
The patrols sent from the advanced guard of General
Zadousky to a distance of 20 versts beyond the village of
Bouzavaia, on the Spit of Kinburn, did not meet the enemy
anywhere.
From Oczakoff it is observed that the disembarked troops
are fortifying their' position at Kinburn.
All goes well at Nicholaieff.
OCTOBER 28, 9.45, p.m.
Yesterday, during the evening, the enemy embarked near
Kinburn their field artillery and horses on board some of
their transport ships ; this morning, at daybreak, those ships
were still in the road. They appeared to be preparing to put
to sea, but a dense fog, which lasted from eight o'clock this
morning till the evening, prevented any observations during
the day. Before this fog came on, it was remarked that the
number of steamers, gunboats, &c., at anchor in the
embouchure of the Bug had considerably decreased. Only
five steamers and four gunboats remained at the mouth of
the river : the fleet now numbers in all 64 vessels.
The following telegraphic despatch has been sent from
Nicholaieff to St. Petersburg, by order of the Emperor
NICHOLAIBF, Oct. 29.
The number of the enemy's vessels, moored near the Spit
of Kinburn, is still diminishing. To-day there are not more
than 60 left.
The ships that were stationed near Oczakoff, and a little
higher up, have moved nearer to the shore at Kinburn, and
continue to take on board troops. A ship-of-the-line and two
transports, the latter having completed the embarkation of
men, have weighed anchor and put to. sea.
The number of tents on the Spit of Kinburn is also less
than before.
There are two steamers and five gunboats off Stranislaff, in
the embouchure of the Bug.
The main body of the fleet has not changed its position.

TUE Lord Mayor and. Aldermen of London have been in-
vited to the closing of the_ Paris Exhibition, which takes place
on the 17th inst.
THE late " murder and' suicide" in Brighton are still sub-
jects of - dispute. Dr. Arnold Ruge and other medical men
positively assert that the boy must have died from natural
causes, and a post-7nortei)i examination is demanded.
THE MISSING CLERGYMAN.—The reports which have been
going the round of the papers with regard to the discovery of
the Rev. Mr. Farmar are -void of foundation. There has nob
been any clue yet obtained to the mystery of his disappearance
HAIR DYE.—A man was plaeed a few days g.',o in a lunatic
asylum at Berlin, to be treated for mental alienation, brought
on by the use of hair dye. On eiamining the dye which he.
had employed, it was ascertained to be composed of lead, mer-
cury, and lunar caustic. It produced violent pains in the head,
and at length led to madness.
A MAID, WIPE, AND WIDOW, IN FOUR DAYS.—The
uncertainty of life has been forcibly impressed on us within.
the last few days, by the death of Mr. Edwin Caplin, of New-
port, in the prime of life. He was married on Thursday, the
25th ult., to Frances, youngest daughter of Mr. William
Hill, of Stone, near Newport. They left the island directly
after the wedding, proceeding by steamer from Cowes to
Southampton,- intending to spend a week or two in London ;
but on reaching Winchester, Mr. C. found himself too ill to
proceed any further that night. The next day he became
worse, and the following night he died.
THE AUSTRIAN CREDIT BANK.--The new General Bank
of Credit of Vienna has been placed under the auspices of
the great name of Rothschild. The new institution will
receive a privilege from the government for a term of ninety
years. -Its-operations -are to comprise all sorts of banking
transactions, industrial undertakings, loans, purchases, colo-
nisation enterprises, and so forth. The capital of the institu-
tion is to be limited, for the beginning, to 60,000,000 florins,,
with the right of increasing it to 100,000,000. An emission
of 300,000 shares of 200 florins each is to take place, for the
purpose of raising this canital. The five- banking housei:Of
the Messrs. Rothschild put 25,000,000 of florins into the
concern.
AN EGYPTIAN SNAKE STORY.—A singular case of poison-
ing occurred at Cairo, on the 15th ult. A poor man having
prepared some cubebe, a dish made of hashed meat, was about
to enjoy it with his family, when a female friend entered, and
was invited to taste some ; but hardly had the mouthful keen
swallowed by the stranger when she fell down iu horrible
convulsions, and expired in the course of a few minutes. The
man was immediately arrested, and taken before the minister
of police. There he declared that he was perfectly innocent,
and stated where he had bought the meat and. oil that 11'4
been used for the dish. A strict investigation being hist',
tuted, a dead venomous serpent was found lying in the jar
whence the oil had been taken for the buyer.—Spettatore
Egiziano.
A WOMAN BURIED ALIVE.—A distressing case occurred
at Monesiglio (Piedmont), on the 30th ult. A woman who
had had a violent attack of cholera had been buried the
evening before. In the morning, a countryman, passing
near her grave, heard some moans issuing from it,. but
instead of informing the authorities, he contented himself ,
with mentioning the circumstance to a farmer living hard by,
who took no further notice of the matter. This very farmer
hearing the same moans in the evening, got frightened, and
ran home without mentioning a syllable of the matter to any
one until the morning after. The parish authorities imme-
diately proceeded to open the grave, but it was too late, the
poor victim was dead. Evidence of her having been buried
alive was furnished by her shroud, which. she had thrown
off during her agony.— Galignani's Messenger.
DARING-AND INGENIOUS _ROBBEB,Y.—A daring robbery
has been practised upon a Mr. Brown, watchmaker, of Coven-
, try. A person called upon Mr. Brown, and, in a business-like
way, ordered twenty gold watches (value 2174) to be manu-
factured. At a given time the stranger called, and pretending
to be in too great a hurry to arrange about the payment, &c.,
told Mr. Brown to bring them over to Birmingham at a par-
ticular time, arid' that-he would' receive them-at-the-railway
station there,' and pay the amount. Mr. Brown agreed, and
went accordingly, but found no customer at the station,
though he waited two or three hours. Giving it up, he left the
railway station, and, in crossing a bye-street, he was attacked
by several men and robbed not only of the box containing
the watches, but of all the money which he had in his
. possession.. The "customer," of course, was the prime mover
in the attack.
NAVIGATION OF THE DARDANELLES.—The Ottoman Go-
vernment-has just adopted a measure long required by seamen.
The Porte has charged Captain Michel, of the Imperial
" Alessageries," to erect on the coasts of Asia and 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
I coal for Constantinople through the Bosphorus, which they
cannot now pass in safety, in consequence of the strong
'current.
THE LAW or RAILWAYS.—On Friday, at the Huddersfield
Railway Station, a scene occurred which caused sotne 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
ttohaptuprelhaaces,ebuat.

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.

Mulanzu 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 in 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 might possibly
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.
1 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
was like a terrier fastening itself upon a rat. The child's
grandmother and a nurse-girl, raised an alarm, and the farmer,
,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, ands 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 bind-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
edrksbyof the dog's 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 month, 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, STRAIIAN, 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
Millhank-prison. Upon their being removed back to gaol,
after their conviction, they were put into prison attire, but
they have net 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 of the rules towards these prisoners. For the first three
or four days subsequent to their conviction, the prisoners were
in a desponding state, but have since become 'resigned 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

frontiers to the Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf.
The other countries of Europe might stand by and bear
witness to such aggression on the part of Russia ; indeed
it might in certain respects bring advantage to some of
them, as the position of western Russia would be con-
siderably changed, by the diversion of so important a
power from that portion of the empire toward the south
and east. But England, for her own security and self-
defence, must of necessity carry on the war to the knife;
for the question at issue involves the security of her pos-
sessions in the East Indies ; this momentous question fills
the back-ground of the picture. ' We have mentioned a
second barrier to the advance of Russia southward,—the
mountaineers of the Caucasus for half a century they
have fought for the freedom of? their hearths and homes;
and who can regard without interest and admiration the
heroic struggle they have maintained ?
At the present moment we may probably be entering
on a great political crisis in the world's history, one
which may entail an entire change in all the political and
social relations of Asia. The war for the conquest and
possession of the Caucasian provinces will probably de-
cide, whether this change will be effected rapidly by
external causes, or gradually by internal development.
Such events as are now passing give rise to many great
questions, inviting speculation as to their probable solu-
tion ; hut the ways of Providence are often inscrutable to
our weak sight, and the issues of the future are lost in
obscurity.
If England can succeed in rekindling the fanatical
zeal of Islamism, now almost expiring,—ln raising the
standard of the Faith, in the person of Schamyl and the
principles of Muridism,—in effecting the union of Sunnites
and Shiites, Turks and Persians,--if a large English
army were to advance from the East Indies and cross
the Persain Gulf, whilst a French army landing in Asia
Minor were to appear simultaneously on the theatre of war,
forming a nucleus for the military organization of the un-
disciplined Mohammedan masses, —Russia would unques-
tionably be placed in a very perilous position. But the
question is beset with difficulties of extraordinary moment.
It is not an easy matter to plant, to form, and to main-
tain a European army there.
On the other hand, supposing the Russians to come off
conquerors, and to compel the remains of the European
armies to evacuate the country, what power could in such
a case arrest their victorious advance ? Unchecked, they
would take possession of the entire countries as far as the
Persian Galf and the Mediterranean; and, for her own
defence, and security against any renewed attack on that
side, Russia, would be compelled to annihilate the two
great Mahommedan powers ; in which event possibly
some temporary satrapies, as Khiva and Bokhara, might
be formed. But Russia, once planted on the Mediterra-
nean, would rule Egypt with an iron hand. This indeed
would be the knell of England's power.
These commentaries on the aspect of affairs are
entitled to profound attention and respect, not
merely from those to whose guidance is intrusted
the present prosperity and future integrity of the
British Empire, but from thinking men of every
class and occupation. It is no mere question of
passing Cabinet policy—it is one of vital import
to the nation in all its multiform and complicated
interests. Without committing ourselves, in any
way, to a recognition of the principles of a war of
policy, apart from one of right included in the
Baron's arguments, as stated above, it can be no
hazardous course to inculcate a careful under-
standing of the case which he is putting.
The little book presented to the public by the
Baron contains much interesting information rela-
tive to the obdurate and gallant resistance offered
by .the Caucasians to Russian aggression, and,
of course, treats largely of the exploits of Schamyl.
Of the rise of Muridism, the peculiar sect by-
which the Schamyl war is carried on, and the
leading features and animating principles of which
are intense and unconquerable hatred of Russia,
and ceaseless resistance to Russian sway, he treats
largely, showing that it has become, whatever

L and the very soul ring again to harmonious sounds.
It is the delight of the good, makes sunshine where
there would be shadow and gloom, promotes domestic
happiness, drives away sorrow, and prepares the mind
for the exigencies of the future ; so laugh on, but
laugh discreetly and in due season.
COMFORT FOR MARRIED MEN.— Lord Nelson,
writing to one of his colleagues on the 21st of June,
1795, on the subject of regulations for the fair sex on
board men of war, observed—" They always will do
as they please. ' Orders are not for them ; at least I
never yet knew one who obeyed your most faithful
HORATIO NELSON." If, therefore, the invincible Nel-
son was no match for the women, ordinary men need
hardly be ashamed of being henpecked by their wives.
ROYAL REPARTEE.--When the King of Prussia,
lately, in his tour through the Rhenish provinces,
passed through a small town near Cochein (district of
Treves), the clergy presented his Majesty with a glass
of fine wine, with the observation, " The sentiments of
the inhabitants around here are as pure as the wine in
this glass." The King thanked the clergyman, and
raising up the glass to the light to admire the fine
colour of the wine, added, " I must suppose that it is
not of the vintage of 1848."
COUNCILLOR LAMB, who was an old man (at the
time the late Lord Erskine was in the height of his
reputation), was a man of timid manners and nervous
disposition, and usually prefaced his pleadings with an
apology to that effect ; and on one occasion, when
opposed to Erskine, he happened to remark that "he
felt himself growing more and more timid as he grew
older." "No wonder," replied the witty but relent-
less barrister, " every one knows the older a lamb
grows the more sheepish he becomes."
How often do we sigh for opportunities of doing
good, whilst we neglect the openings of Providence in
little things, which would frequently lead to the ac-
complishment of most important usefulness ? Dr.
Johnson used to say, "He who waits to do a great
deal of good at once, will never do any." Good is
done by degrees. However small in proportion the
benefit Which follows individual attempts to do good,
a great deal may be thus accomplished by perse-
verance, even in the midst of discouragements and
disappointments.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANYBODY, SOMEBODY,
AND NOBODY.—" Mamma," said Miss Juliana Selina
Caroline Languish, " who are those Middletons ; are
they anybody ?" Why, my dear, young Middleton
joined the hunt last week, and was introduced at the
last ball, and keeps a tiger ; so you know he must be
somebody." "Yes, mamma, but I can't help think-
ing that they are only retired—very good sort of
people, no doubt, and all that sort of thing; but there
is something about them that makes me think that
they are nobody, after all." "My dear, they must be
somebody." " No, mamma, they want to pass for
somebody; but as everybody knows, there is always a
something which tells you directly whether anydody is
anybody; and it is not a bit of use for anybody who
is nobody to pretend to be somebody."
EATING AND DIIINKING.—If you wish for anything
like happiness in the fifth act of life, eat and drink
about one half what you could eat and drink. Did I
ever tell you my calculation about eating and drink-
? Having ascertained the weight of what I could
live; upon, so as to preserve health and strength, and
what I did live upon, I found that, between ten and
seventy years of age, I had eaten and drunk forty-four
horse waggon loads of meat and drink more than
would have preserved me in life and health ! The
value of this mass of nourishment I considered to be
worth seven thousand pounds sterling. It occurred
to me that I must, by my voracity, have starved to
death fully a hundred persons. This is a frightful
calculation, but irresistibly true.—Letters of' Rev.
Sydney Smith.
GOOD COMPANY.—Endeavour, as much as you can,
to keep company with people above you. There you
rise as much as you sink with. people below you ; for
(as I have mentioned before) you are whatever the
company you keep is. Do not mistake, when I say
company above you, and think that I mean with re-
gard to their birth ; that is the least consideration ;
but I mean with regard to their merit, and the -light
in which the world considers them. There are two
sorts of good company ; one, which is called the beau
monde, and consists of those people who have the lead
in Courts, and in the gay part of life ; the other con-
sists of those who are dist,
merit, or who excel in sol
art or science. For my

all the princes in Europe.--

DIOCESE OF CHESTER.
PREFERMENT.—The Rev. John Jones, M.A., incumbent
of Christ Church, Litherlaud, was on Tuesday last collated by
the Bishop to the Archdeaconry of Liverpool, and also at the
same time admitted to the office of Rural Dean of the Deaneries
of Wirral and Warrington, in the said diocese.
LICENBE.—The Rev. G. H. Broughton has been licensed
Kirkdale, near. Liverpool, upon the nomination of the Rev.
by the Bishop to the stipendiary curacy of St. Mary's Church,
T.M. Lester, the incumbent.
.
VACANCY.—The perpetual curacy of St. James's Church,
Toxteth, Liverpool,by resignation of the Rev. Henry Hampton.
Patron : the rector of Walton-on-the-Hill.
TESTIMONIAL.—A number of the parishioners of St.
James's Church presented a testimonial to the Rev. Mr.
Priddle upon his vacating the curacy by receiving the ap•
pointment of incumbent of St. Luke's, Liverpool.—Sydney
Empire.
MONUMENT ,TO THE LATE ARCHBISHOP OF YOWL— A
monument to the memory of the late Archbishop of York, Dr.
Edward Vernon Harcourt, is about to be erected in York
Minster by his family. The figure, sculptured out of pure
white Carrara marble, is recumbent, in full canonicals, with
the hands pressing the sacred volume to the breast.
ILLNESS OF THE BISHOP OF LONDON.—The health of the
Bishop of London continues to cause anxiety to his family and
friends, and to the whole diocese. On Wednesday, the Queen
and Prince Albert sent a special messenger to inquire after his
lordship's health, when the reply was more favourable than it
had been on the two previous days. On Friday, it was notified
that no further bulletins will be issued, unless a change should
take place. The Archdeacons of London and Middlesex have
been commissioned by the Bishop to carry on the ordinary
business of the diocese during his lordship's illness.
DIOCESE OF MANCIIESTEIL—The Right Rev. the Lord
Bishop of Manchester, on Wednesday, licensed Rev. James
Pearse Yeo, late curate of the parish church at Standish, to
the stipendiary curacy of the parish church of Bury, on the
nomination of Res.. C. J. G. Hornby, the incumbent.—The
bishop will hold his ensuing visitation at the following times
and places, namely : —Wednesday, sth December, at Bolton ;
Thursday, 6th December, at Preston ; Friday, 7th December,
at Lancaster ; Saturday, Bth December, at Burnley ; Monday,
the 10th December, at Bury ; and Tuesday, 11th December,
at Manchester.
CAPITULAR PA.TRONAGE.—A good deal of clerical gossip is
afloat in the diocese of Bath and Wells with reference to an
alleged intention on the part of the Very Rev. the Dean of
Wells to accommodate the vacant living of St. Cuthbert's to
his own hand. As the living is worth about £l,OOO a-year,
being considerably above what Dr. Johnson could legally-take
in conjunction with his deanery, it is said he has had legal
opinion to know whether he could deduct the payment of two
curates and the endowment of a proposed new church—to be
built by Mrs. Jenkins, the widow of the late Dean—out of the
income of St. Cuthbert's, so as to bring it down to £5OO a-year,
when it would suit him to take it. If this be true, it certainly

Times.
OPEN-AIR PREACHING has been carried on by the Rev.
Francis Trench, of St. John's, Reading, during six months of
the present year, from April 1 to October 1. During a con-
siderable part of that time, two addresses were delivered each
Sunday, and there was occasional preaching on week days.
The numbers in attendance varied, according to weather and
other circumstances, from 50 to 150 ; and, during the whole
time, not one single interruption or word of opposition oc-
curred. The preacher constantly received thanks from his
hearers at the close. In some cases, much and evident effect,
of a religious character, was produced, and in many instances
persons have been brought to attend public worship who had
previously absented themselves. The measure, altogether,
has proved most encouraging. There are now, in St. John's
school-room, readings of the " Pilgrim's Progress" on three
evenings of the week. A considerable portion is read each
time, and a few explanatory comments are made. The perusal
of this most popular and instructive book is thus made to
occupy about eight or nine evenings ; and, if we may judge by
the large and regular attendance, the plan has proved of a
most acceptable kind.—Berkshire Chronicle.

PREVALENCE OF INEBRIETY.
OFFICIAL DESPATCHES.
CAPTURE OF KINBURN.
WAR DEPARTMENT, Nov. 1.
Lord Panmure 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.8.:7
SEBASTOPOL, Oct.
My Lord,—l am happy to be able to congratulate your
Lordship on the successful termination of the expedition to
Kinburn. I transmit a copy of the report of Brigadier-
General the Hon. A. Spencer. This contains all the informa-
tion I have received on the operations, with the exception
that in a private note Sir E. Lyons mentions that the enemy
have exploded the three forts of Oczakoff, commanding the
northern entrance into the Dnieper.
In consequence of the continued fineness of the weather
great progress has been made in the construction of the road
and railway. The divisions have all got some weeks' supply
of rations in their camp, and I entertain no anxiety of there
being a scarcity of anything during the approaching winter.
•I informed your Lordship in my despatch of the 13th inst.,
that the Highland Division, under Lieutenant-General Sir
Colin Campbell, were to proceed to Enpatoria and co-operate
with the French ; but, upon the receipt of your telegraphic
despatch of the 13th inst., apprising me that the Russians had
resolved to hazard a battle, and attack the allies, I did not
consider myself justified in weakening the force under my
command by so many men, and I
.therefore countermanded
the movement.
I have the honour to enclose the weekly reports of Colonel
M`Murdo and Dr. Hall. _ _
I hare, &c.,
JAMES Signox, General Commanding.
(Enclosure 1.)
CAMP BEFORE KINBURN, Oct. 17.
Sir,—ln reporting, for the information of the General
Commanding the Forces, the fall of the garrison of the fort-
ress of Kinburn this day, I have the honour to state that the
force under my command, as per statement enclosed,* effected
their landing on Monday, the 15th, unopposed.
Owing to a heavy surf, and which continued all day yes-
terday, the landing has been accomplished with some little
difficulty. The troops, however, were all got on shore on the
first day, and have since been employed in intrenching our
position. There are rumours of a force of the enemy collect-
ing at Cherson, about forty miles from here, but our imme-
diate neighbourhood appears to be clear.
The advanced line of the position, flanked on both sides by
the sea, is held by the force under my command, and is about
a mile in extent. —I have, &c.,
.

ADMIRALTY, Nov. 1.
Despatches, of which the following are copies, have been
received from Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, G.C.8., com-
mander-in-chief of her Majesty's ships and vessels in the
Mediterranean and Black Sea :
ROTAS, ALBERT, OFF KIEBURR, Oct. 18.
Sir,—My letter of 6th instant, No. 834, will have informed
the Lords Commissioners -of the Admiralty that an allied
naval and military expedition was to leave the anchorage off
Sebastopol on the following day, for the purpose of taking and
occupying the three Russian forts on Kinbnrn Spit, at the
entrance of Dnieper Bay ; and the telegraphic message which
I forwarded to Varna last night will soon communicate to
their lordships the success which has attended this enterprise..
It is now my duty to give a more detailed account of the
proceedings of the expedition.
I have therefore the honour to state that we arrived at a
rendezvous off Odessa on the Bth instant, but owing to strong
south-west winds, which would have prevented the troops
from landing, it was not until the morning of the 14th instant
that the expedition was enabled to reach the anchorage off
Kinburn.
During the night, the English steam gun-vessels Fancy,
Boxer, Cracker, and Clinker, and four French gun-vessels
forced the entrance into Dnieper Bay, under a heavy but
ineffectual fire from the Spit Fort, and on the following morn-
ing the British troops, under the orders of Brigadier-General
A. A. Spencer, together with the French troops, under the
command of General Bazaine, were landed about three miles
to the southward of the principal fort, and thus, by these
nearly simultaneous operations, the retreat of the garrisons
and the arrival of reinforcements were effectually cut off.
In the evening the English and French mortar-vessels tried
their ranges against the main fort with excellent effect.
The wind having again veered round to the southward, with
a great deal of swell, nothing could be done on the 16th ; but
in the forenoon of the 17th a fine northerly breeze, with smooth
water, enabled the French floating batteries, mortar-vessels,
and gunboats, and the Odin and the mortar-vessels and
gunboats named in the margin* to take up positions off
Fort Kinburn ; and their fire was so effective that before noon
the buildings in the interior of the fort were in flames, and the
eastern face had suffered very considerably.
At noon the Royal Albert, the Algiers, the Agamemnon,
and the Princess Royal, accompanied by Admiral Brnat's four
ships of the line, approached Fort Kinburn in a line abreast,
which the shape of the coast rendered necessary, and the pre-
cision with which they took up their positions in the closest
order, with jib-booms run in and only two feet of water under
their keels, was really admirable. At the same moment the
squadrons under the orders of Rear-Admirals Sir Houston
Stewart and Pellion pushed through the passage between
Oczakoff and the Spit of Kinburn, and took the forts in reverse,
while the St. Jean d'Acre, the Curaeoa, the Tribune, and the
Sphinx undertook the centre battery, and the Hannibal,
Dauntless, and Terrible that on the point of the Spit.
The enemy soon ceased to reply to our overwhelming fire,
and, though he made no sign of surrender, Admiral Bruat
and I felt that a garrison which had bravely defended itself
against so superior a force deserved every consideration, and
we therefore made the signal to cease firing, hoisted a flag of
truce, and sent on shore a summons, which was accepted
by the Governor, Major-General Kokonovitch ; and the garri-
son, consisting of 1,400 men, marched out with the honours
of war, laid down their arms on the glacis, and, having sur-
rendered themselves as prisoners of war, they will be em-
barked in her Majesty's ship Vulcan to-morrow.
The casualties in the allied fleets are very few, amounting
in her Majesty's ships to only two wounded. The loss of the
enemy in killed and wounded is, I fear, very severe.
In the three forts, which have suffered considerably by our
fire, we found 81 guns and mortars mounted, and an ample
supply of ammunition.
This morning the enemy has blown up the forts on Ocza-
koff Point, which mounted 2 guns, and we learnt from a
Polish deserter, who escaped in a boat from them during the
night, that the commandant apprehended an attack from our
mortar-vessels, which would not only have destroyed the forts,
but also the neighbouring dwellings. di
I have abstained from entering infls the particulars of the
proceedings of the squadron under the orders of Rear-Admiral
Sir H. Stewart, as he has so ably described them in the letter
which I have the honour to enclose, from which their lord-
ships will perceive that I have received from him on this oc-
casion—as, indeed, I have on all others since I have had the
good fortune to have him as second in command—that
valuable assistance which might be expected from an officer of
his distinguished and acknowledged merits; and I beg leave to
add my testimony to his in praise of all the officers, and
especially Lieutenant Marryat and Mr. Brooker, whom he
recommends to their lordships' favourable onsideration.
To particularize the merits of the officers under my com-
mand, where all have behaved admirably, ;could be a difficult
task indeed ; but I beg leave to mention tint the same officers'
of the Navy and the Royal Marine Artillery who were in the
mortar-vessels at the fall of Sebastopol are it them now, and that
on this occasion, as before, they have been under the direction
of Captain Willcox, of the Odin, and Cytain Digby, of the
Royal Marine Artillery. Nor can I refra'n from stating what
I believe to be the feeling of the whole feet, that on this ex-
pedition, as on that to Kertch, the talents and indefatigable
exertions of that very valuable officer, Ceptain Spratt, of the
Spitfire, and of those tmder"his co:ninami, entitle them to our
warmest thanks, and deserve to be particularly mentioned.
I need hardly say that my distinguistecl cclleague Admiral
Brant and I have seen with infinite satisfaction our respective
squadrons acting together as one fleet.
I am, &c.,
EDMUND Lyoiss,
Rear-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief.
To the wholesome labour and activity that now prevail, as
well as to the fineness of the weather, the healthy condition of
the army is doubtless due. It certainly is not attributable to
sobriety and abstinence, for I regret to say that drunkenness is
very prevalent among the men. The well-intended kindness of
the " Queen's sixpence" is doing, I fear, much harm, used as it
is by a very large portion of the soldiers as a means of exces-
sive drinking. The consequence of this, and of the insubor-
dination and many offences it leads to, is a large amount of
punishment of various kinds—extra guards, stone-carrying,
and flogging. The cartwheel (here substituted for the
triangle) is frequently rigged, and the Provost-Marshal and
his assistants have plenty on their hands ; but twenty :five
lashes, or even fifty are all insufficient to wean the British
soldier from his favourite vice. I hear of regiments in which
there are literally scores of men under punishment of one
sort or other for intoxication. One regiment was cited to me
refrain from naming it) in which there were 60 offenders of
this sort at one time. In another nine sergeants were broken
for drunkenness. On Saturday there was an issue of back
pay (the extra sixpence), and I never witnessed a more dis-
graceful scene than was presented by the part of the camp in
which I happened to be at about an hour before sunset on
Sunday afternoon. I have no reason to believe that it was
confined to that part of the camp, but I mention only that
which I and a military friend who accompanied me actually
saw, as we leant against a railing enjoying the beauty of the
evening. Half the men who passed along a track a little in
our front were more or less intoxicated. Some were merely
unsteady, others staggered and straggled out of the path.
Some were pugnacious, and we saw two fights begin, which
were only put an end to by the arrival of a patrol. None
more than myself would advocate every reasonable indulgence
to an army which has deserved so well of its country as that
of the Crimea, displaying, as it has done, on repeated occa-
sions, and for long periods, the utmost valour, fortitude, and
patience. But if means are not found of checking the great
drunkenness that at present goes on here, the resalt will be
a grievous scandal to the service.
PROMOTION OF COLONEL WINDHAM.
Last night's general orders contained full confirmation of
news that had reached us a few days previously—namely, the
promotion of Colonel Windham to the rank of Major-General
for distinguished services in the field," and his appointment
to the command of the Fourth Division, with which he served
as Assistant-Quartermaster-General until he w2s named (less
than two months ago) to the command of that brigade of the
Second Division, at the head of which he fought so gallantly
on the Bth of September. The,fiat of the Horse Guards is, in
this instance, stamped and confirmed by the approbation and
applause of the army.
Lord William Paulet has assumed the command of the 2nd
brigade of the Fourth Division, and occupies Gen. Bentinck's
old quarters on Cathcart's-hill, where, unlike their previous
tenant, he may quietly dwell, without risk of a cannon-ball
plumping into his soup-tureen, or tumbling into his bed.
Miss Nightingale is at the Castle Hospital.
SUPPOSED PREPARATIONS FOR EVACUA-
TING THE NORTH SIDE. _ .
The same coreespondent, writing on the 16th, says :—Late
last night a memorandum was issued, to the effect, that from
to-day until further orders, the whole of the army should be
under arms at half-past 5 a.m., and remain so until dismissed
by generals commanding divisions. Working parties, for rail-
ways, roads, &c., will come on duty at 9 instead of 8 a.m. in
order to give the men time to breakfast and refresh themselves
after the turn-out. There seems to be some expectation that
the Russians intend to evacuate the north side. They yester-
day made a great fire on their left of Fort Catharine. It is
supposed they were burning stores. They had a large depot
of coal just about the place were the fire was. On Saturday
night the reflection of a great fire was visible from the camp,
and still more plainly seen from higher points in this neigh-
bourhood. It was in the direction of Bakschiserai. We are
still in ignorance of its cause. The Highlanders have received
counter orders. Some say that the 2nd and 3rd division will
go in their stead ; others that the expedition is entirely given
up, except as regards the cavalry, which have actually gone—
all, or the greater part.
EXPECTED ATTACK BY THE RUSSIANS.
Writing at twelve o'clock on the same day, he continues :
The expedition toEupatorialias been cancelled,in consequence
of a telegraphic message from Lord Panmure, to the effect
that the Russians meditated an attack. Inkerman is the
quarter in which it seems to be expected. It is hard to say
what the Russians think to gain by attacking us now. The
fire seen on Saturday night is believed to have been at a
village about three miles on this side of Backschiserai. Such,
at least, is the result of the calculations made by our engi-
neers, who took an observation at bead-quarters and another
at Balaklava, thus ascertaining the spot with tolerable accu-
racy. Of the expedition to Eupatoria the following are
countermanded, viz., the Highlanders, two batteries of artil-
, and the company of Sappers. The cavalry has sailed.
lery
I have not yet heard whether they are to go still or be brought
back. They were ordered to embarks everal days before there
was any question here of other troopgoing.
Referring to the same subject on the 20th, he says :
Here, at Sebastopol, nothing has been going on, and, in the ab-
sence of events, we are left to reflect on the past and to speculate
on the future. In the hasty lines I added to my last letter, just
before post hour, I mentioned that the projected expedition to
Eupatoria was given up, an attack upon our own lines being
expected. Accordingly, we since then have been turning out
before daybreak every morning, and occasionally at other

VALOROUS, IN 'DNIEPER BAY, Oct. 18.
Sir,—l have the honour to inform jou that, in pursuance of
your orders, I hoisted my flag in Hel Majesty's steam-frigate
Valorous on the afternoon of the 14tI inst., immediately after
the arrival of the allied fleets off Kinturn Spit, and proceeded,
under the able guidance of Captain S?ratt, of the Spitfire, to
take up positions at the end of Dnieper Bay, where with the
division of steam vessels placed undo my orders (as per mar-
gin),* and in company with those under the orders of my
colleague Rear Admiral Odet Pellion, we remained in readiness
to force an entrance into the Dnieper, for the purpose directed
by you of preventing, as far as possible, any reinforcements
being thrown into the forts on Kinlurn Spit, as well as to cut
off the retreat of the garrison, should either be attempted.
At 9 p.m. I instructed Lieutenant Joseph H. Marryat, of
the Cracker, to take on board Edward W. Brooker,
additional master of the Spitfire, and endeavour with him to
determine the course of the intricate channel through which
we were to pass, and to lay down 'alloys along the south side

At noon, the signal being made from your flagship to weigh,
we proceeded through the channel, each ship engaging the
Spit batteries and Kinburn Fort as they came within range.
To Lieut. Marryat, of the Cracker, is due the merit of pre-
ceding and piloting us through, which he did with great
judgment.
Had the enemy continued his defence of the Spit batteries,
the Sidon, Leopard, Sane; and Gladiator were directed, in
that case, to remain in front of them until their fire was com-
pletely silenced ; but as they were subdued by the accurate
and well-sustained fire which was poured upon them by the
ships which you had placed to the westward of the Spit, and
by those of our own squadron on passing to the eastward,
this became unnecessary ; the whole division, therefore, con-
tinued its course through the channel, and anchored well
inside Fort Nicholaieff and Oczakoff Point.
During this time the four gunboats, Fancy, Grinder, Boxer,
and Clinker, did good service by placing themselves in such
position as to throw a flanking fire on the middle battery
and Kinburn Fort, at the time cur division passed within
short range.
Immediately on anchoring, I transferred my flag to the
Cracker, and, followed by the other gun-boats, proceeded
close off the east front of Kinburn Fort, to be ready to act as
circumstances required, should the enemy's fire, which at that
moment had entirely ceased, be renewed. However, the ne-
cessity for further action did not arise.
As the service intrusted to me was carried out under your
observation, I feel it to be unnecessary to do more than to re-
cord my grateful sense of the very satisfactory manner in
which the whole of the ships under my orders took up their
appointed stations, and of the manner in which all employed
performed their duty.
I think myself fortunate in having for my temporary flag-
ship so efficient and well ordered a man-of-war as the
Valorous, and I feel much indebted to Captain Buckle and
his zealous First Lieutenant, Joseph Edye, for their unre-
mitting attention and assistance.
I am delighted to add that, in concerting with our gallant
allies the arrangements necessary for carrying into effect the
present successful operations, I have received the cordial sup-
port and concurrence of my excellent colleague, Rear-Admiral
Odet Pellion.
The anxiety which you yourself ever feel to do full
justice to merit and exertion must be my excuse for presum-
ing to request your most favourable notice of Lieut. Marryat
and Mr. Brooker. They have had anxious, difficult, and dan-
gerous work to perform,and they have eaell'of them executed
it admirably.—l have, Lc.,

THE EXPEDITION TO TAMAN.
The London Gazette also contains the. copy of a despatch
from Admiral Lyons enclosing the copy of a letter from Capt.
Robert Hall, of the Miranda, senior officer in the Straits of
Kertch, detailing the proceedings of an Anglo-French naval
and military expedition to Taman and Fanagoria on the 24th
of September, for the purpose of depriving the enemy of his
means of sheltering troops in the ensuing winter, and in order
to procurexaterials for housing our troops at Cape St. Paul's
and Yenikale. Also a copy of a letter from Captain Osborn,
of the Vesuvius, detailing the proceedings of an Anglo-French
attack on Temriouk, which, by previous arrangement, was
made simultaneously with that on Taman and Fanagoria.
Both expeditions were conducted in a most satisfactory man-
ner, and were accomplished with the loss of only one man
wounded. Three of the 71st Regiment and three of the
(French) Infantry of the Marine were taken prisoners, in con-
sequence of their own imprudence.

has produced great consternation. Their having troops and
engineers on board is thought to prove an intention of making
a permanent lodgment there.
RUSSIAN ARMY OF THE SOUTH.
General. Luders has issued an order of the day to the army of
the south, dated from Nicholaieff, the 9th of October, an-
nouncing the arrival of 23 druschines of the National Militia
of the Governments of Smolensko and Moscow, as a reinforce-
ment to the corps under his command. He states that these
militia battalions have been formed about six months, and,
notwithstanding their long march, are already to some extent
instructed in field manuvres; but, as they are still very infe-
rior in all respects to the old regiments who have completed
their experience in the field, General Luders impresses on the
officers of every rank the necessity of instructing them in all
their military duties, and intimates to the older soldiers that
their young brothers in arms must not be treated with ridicule
or contempt. The recruits of the militiahave been distributed
among the regiments of infantry of the army, the reserve, and
those of the military depot. They are to be taught the most
necessary portions of their duty as quickly as possible. The
General says :—They are not required to possess the excessively
scientific knowledge necessary for the service •de front ;
it will be enough if they are taught the movements of the close
column and the duty of chasseurs and skirmishers,—if they
know how to load their muskets properly and to fire at the
target.

THE CRIMEA.
PARIS, Wednesday Evening.
According to telegraphic advices from St. Petersburg of the
30th, Prince Gortschakoff announces on the evening of the
29th that the enemy (the allies) after strong demonstrations
from Eupatoria, in the direction of Simpheropol, during
which their operations were constantly harassed, and their
left flank threatened, returned yesterday. (the 28th) to their
camp at Eupatoria.
Despatches from Nicholaieff announce that there were no
more than sixty sail of the enemy's fleet in sight, two of
which were steamers.
Only five gunboats were anchored within the liman of the
Dnieper.
THE WAR IN ASIA.
We are in possession, via' Constantinople, of dates from
Kars to the Ist of October; Erzercum, the 9th ; Trebizond,
the 11th; and Samsoon, to the 12th.
According to these, it would seem that the Russians, after
the serious repulse received from General Williams, had not
made any new attack upon Kars, which was, however, very
rigorously blockaded, and fodder for the cavalry was very
scarce indeed. 'The Russians are said to be waiting for rein-
forcements from Gumri. Cholera was making sad havoc
among their ranks in the camp along the Kars•chai. This
disease also manifested itself at Kars on the 26th September.
Omar Pasha is concentrating his troops preparatory to march-
ing into Georgia. He has made his head-quarters Suchoum-
Kaleh in lieu of Batoum, at which two places, out of 15,000
of the Tunisian Contingent, only 350 remain, the rest having
been carried off by cholera and fever, contracted from bad
food and insufficient clothing.
Omar Pasha's army is only 8,000 strong, but a reinforce-
ment of 18,000 was looked for from the Crimea, and 24,000
more from Constantinople. Intelligence from the Persian
capital cnly reaches down to the 20th of July, but is void of
interest beyond the cessation of cholera.
_ THE BALTIC FLEET.
HAMBURG, Thursday.
The Ajax and Hogue have arrived at Kiel.
Other ships are expected from the Baltic.
DAIiTZ/c, Thursday.
The Lightning has arrived, and is to remain here till fur-
ther orders.
The Vulture, with the mail from the feet, is expected to-
morrow.
The fleet is still at Nargen.
The weather continues stormy.
A LETTER from Odessa, of the 19th, says Accounts
from Simpheropol describe the whole:place to be in movement.
Many of the inhabitants were leaving the town. The hospitals
were being transported towards the north, to Perecop, Nico-
laieff, and Cherson, whilst the wounded who were in those
towns have been taken to Vossmessensk. The dearness of
provisions was excessive at Simferofol. The Russian army of
observation at Eupatoria is said to be 60,000 strong, and in-
cludes 20,000 cavalry. It is commanded by General Schabolski,
chief of the dragoon corps. The avant posts are near Koutsgar
and Karagurt. General Grotenjelm, the commander at Odessa,
has advanced on Otchakoff, in forced marches, at the head of
the 3rd division of light cavalry."
A NEW ROYAL WARRANT has been published, giving to
thiethrinelastil months,vesofotcheersalkteilrlieliivne
oafctrieocne,i,oirndgyainsgumof
equal
lndtos
w
the regulation price of the officer's commission, instead of an
annual pension. If the officer leaves a widow childless, she
receives the whole sum ; if a widow and children, the sum is
to be invested in the name of trustees, the widow to receive
the interest for life, and the principal sum to go share and
share alike to the children at her death ; in the event of the
widow surviving the children, it becomes her property abso-
lutely. Should children but no widow be left, the money is
to be invested for their benefit until they become of age.
Should the officer have no widow or children, the sum may be
paid to his father—if he have no father, to his mother—if
neither father nor mother, to his sisters or brothers, share
and share alike, under the rules applicable to the case of
children. The warrant is to have a retrospective effect to the
date of the declaration of war with Russia, but any sum
received under previous pension warrants will be deducted
from the sums payable under the present warrant.
THE BATTLE OF KARS.—An English officer engaged in
the battle gives a brief but spirited sketch :—Kars, Oct. 1.—
Here I am on the Karadagh again, none the worse for my late
illness. Last night the Russians attacked us in force, and
and (between you and me and the post) very nearly took
Kars. The fight was a most bloody one, and lasted seven
hours and a half, without one second's intermission. The
Russians left upwards of 2,000 men dead on the field; and
their loss in killed, wounded, and prisoners, must have ex-
ceeded 6,000 men. What do you think of us Kars chaps
after that? I was not actively engaged as they knew better
than to attack my almost impregnable battery a second time;
but I did great service with my heavy guns, and twice drove
them out of a battery they had taken, and turned upon us. It
was a nasty sight—the field—afterwards. It was completely
covered with dead bodies, mostly Russians, as our men did
not lose more than five or six hundred altogether. The de-
fence was commanded by dear old (Hungarian) General
Kmeti ; and when our general thanked him in the name of
Queen Victoria, for his gallant repulse of the enemy, I
thought the brave old boy would have burst his heart open—
he was so proud. The Turks fought—not like lions, but like
fiends. I never saw such desperate recklessness of life. You
can form some idea of what a desperate business it was, when
I tell you that the Russians had their whole force concen-
trated upon General Kmeti's division, which, with the rein-
forcements he afterwards received, did not amount to 8,000
men. The reports have just come in, and there are more
than 3,000 killed-on the side of the enemy.
THE BOMB VESSELS IN TUE BLACK SEA.—The bomb
vessels were engaged at the distance of 2,500 yards from the
forts. The first-class gunboats, such as the Mrow, Lynx,
Beagle, Snake, &c., were employed nearer the forts in drawing
off the fire from the bomb vessels, in case the enemy directed
their long-range guns against them, and in distracting their
attention from the floating batteries, and these three batteries
which, to the credit of France and to our shame, our gallant
ally had the opportunity of testing so practically, were an-
chored at the distance of 800 yards from Kinburn, and opened
their guns first against the Russian batteries. The success of
the experiment is complete. The shot of the enemy at that
short range had no effect upon them ! The balls hopped off
their sides, without leaving any impression, save such as a
pistol ball makes on the target in a shooting gallery. The
shot could be heard distinctly striking the sides of the battery
with a " sharp smack," and then could be seen flying back,
splashing the water at various angles according to the direc-
tion in which they came, till they dropped exhausted. On one

AMERICA.
ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA.
BY the British and North American royal mail steam-ship
Canada, Commodore Judkins, which arrived on Sunday, we
have intelligence from New York to the 23rd, and Boston to
the 24th ult. She brought 119 passengers, and $755,296 80c.
and £250 in specie.
The U. S. mail steam-ship Atlantic, Captain West, hence,
arrived at New York on the 18th ult.
A fire had occurred in New York, which caused the death of
three women and two children.
It appears that the reported arrival at Washington of a
special ambassador from Russia was a hoax.
At New York four seamen of the ship Constantine had been
arrested, charged with mutiny while the vessel was on her
recent passage from Liverpool.
The American vessel Maury had been laid under embargo,
by the United States authorities, on the complaint of the
British consul, at New York, who stated that she was being
fitted out as a Russian privateer, with the design of inter-
cepting one of the Cunard steamers from Boston, and taking
her, with the specie on board, as a prize. It was alleged that
she had large quantities of munitions of war on board, and
that she was to be taken to Sandy Hook, where officers and a
crew of eighty men would be put on board, and her present
officers and crew leave her and return to the city. She was
afterwards released from the custody of the United States
marshal by direction of the district attorney, who acted on
affidavit of the owners, and with the sanction of the counsel of
the British consul, it having been satisfactorily proved that
she was going to China, and that the arms on board were for
protection against the Chinese pirates.
The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald
writes :—" Cushing, alone of the Cabinet, approaches nearest
the President in his hatred towards Great Britain, and it is
surmised that this feeling can be increased, if opportunity and
place should require it. Mr. Marcy's late letter to Lord
Palmerston, requiring explanation relative to his instructions
in the enlistment case, did not prove in accordance to the
wishes of Mr. Pierce, who, for a time, withheld from it his
assent, in the hope that the bellicose amendment suggested by
him would be finally adopted. To his surprise, upon inquiring
of Mr. Marcy what he had concluded to do in the matter,he was
informed that he had resolved upon making no alteration, and
that the letter, as written by him, had been sent by the last
European mail. This is the proper place to remark that all
rumours and reports representing a demand from the United
States for the recal of the English Minister are without
foundation, and that of the letters sent to Lord Palmerston,
the first has been answered, but not proving satisfactory to
Mr. Marcy, the second and last was written and despatched
as above related."
On a later date, the 22nd, the same correspondent says :
" It is reported here to-day, in diplomatic circles, that the
British Minister asserts that the late attempt to convict him
of a violation of the neutrality laws of this country was the
result of a conspiracy of foreigners to embroil the two Govern-
ments ; that at the proper time he will show such to be the
case. Furthermore, Mr. Crampton intimates that, should his
recal be consummated, no successor would be appointed in his
place."

THE WAR.
OPERATIONS in the Crimea have now to a considerable
extent ceased to occupy the chief place in public estimation,
the allied forces, by sea and land, having directed their efforts
at different and distant points towards the subjugation of
Stronsholds, and the defeat of objects vital in their import-
ance' to the successful resistance of the Russians. These
operations have not only withdrawn the observation of the
public from that close attention to the proceedings at head-
quarters, which they have hitherto received, but have in point
of fact tended in a great degree to prevent the necessity of any
very marked alteration in the position and movements of the
Allies in Sebastopol and the vicinity. Added to these con-
siderations, it must also be borne in mind, that such opera-
tions as are in reality determined on, depend in a very great
degree upon the secrecy with which they can be carried out,
for their value in effect. As a natural consequence of this
state of affairs, the communications forwarded by the special
correspondents of the London journals are more filled with
details of comparatively trivial matters, and with speculations
concerning expeditions of which they have obviously little
knowledge, than with those thrilling narratives of stirring
events with which for many months past they so freely
abounded. Instead of the graphic narratives of well-qualified
spectators, the public is now dependent on the more circum-
spect, if less glowing, accounts of military and naval exploits
contained in the official despatches.
Notwithstanding these drawbacks, sufficient interest still
attaches to the condition and anticipated movements of the
army concentrated in the neighbourhood of the late scenes of
eventful conflict, to render the morsels of intelligence commu-
nicated concerning them matters of interest. The corres-
pondent of the Times, writing on the 16th ult., from the
Fourth Division camp before Sebastopol, says
A pleasanter spot for a camp, in such sunny and delightful
weather as we at present enjoy, could hardly be found than
the slope beyond the village of Kamara, on which the High-
landers have pitched their tents, and whither materials for
huts have already been sent in large quantities. Great, never-
theless, was the satisfaction of that gallant Division—now so
long inactive—on learning two days ago that it was under
orders to embark for Eupatoria. It was said the embarkation
would take place to-day, but it will hardly be until Wednes-
day. Transports are reported to be wanting, but that is im-
probable, for Balaclava harbour is crowded with shipping to
such an extent that vessels which arrived on Friday morning
still awaited admission yesterday. It takes a little time
to "get the necessary land transport supplies, baggage, &c., on
board, especially when, as in this case, the troops are ordered
to take with them as much of their heavy baggage as they can.
From this we infer that they are probably to winter at Eupa-
toria, and not necessarily to be at present engaged in active
operations. On the other hand, the departure of the light
cavalry, under Lord George Paget, would lead us to believe
that fighting is meant. There can hardly be an intention of
keeping them at Eupatoria all the winter, since stables are
now erecting near Scutari, and on an island in the Sea of
Marmora, amply sufficient to receive the whole of our cavalry
and horse artillery, which, it has been positively stated, are to
be quartered there until spring. A large number of French
(12,000 or 15,000) are to embark at Kamiesch, where, accord-
ing to one report, the Highlanders are also to embark, as the
nearest port for Eupatoria. Expeditions are quite the fashion
of the moment, and, had we before us the prospect of two or
three months' fine weather, we should be bound to suppose
that an important combined operation was about to be entered
upon. But, judging from precedent and probability, two or
three weeks must close the campaign. At present the wea-
ther is all that could be desired. The sun, which in that
little kettle Balaklava harbour, is still oppressively hot, is
tempered on the heights by refreshing breezes; the ground b.
everywhere dry—the atmosphere pure and healthy. Never
was our army, since its first landing, so free from disease as at
the present moment. But this second summer may any day
be- brought to a close, and exchanged for a season of rain and
tempest. It will be unusual, not to say extraordinary, if such
be not the case early in November. Brief time, therefore,
remains for the expeditions to carry out their objects, what-
ever those may be. The five regiments of cavalry (4th and
13th Light Dragoons, 12th and 17th Lancers, and Carbineers),
the Highlanders, and the 12,000 French, are believed to be all
bound for Eupatoria, Captain Montague's company of Sap-
pers and Miners also goes.
PREPARATIONS FOR WINTERING.
The English army, convinced that it is to winter in its
present camp, has set seriously to work to guard itself from
the inclement weather from which it last year suffered so
grievously, and to make itself as comfortable as it can. Officers
and men are busy with domestic arrangements. Hutting and
roadmaking are the occupations of the hour, and rapid progress
is making with both. Strong wooden huts are springing up
on all sides, and here and there a solid stone dwelling is in
course of construction. There will be lots of chimneys smok-
ing this Christmas on the heights before Sebastopol, and,
doubtless, many a good dinner will be eaten on that day, and
many a glass emptied to those memories and hopes of home
which are almost the sole consolation for the many privations
that must be endured, even under the most favourable circum-
stances, by the dwellers in a camp. It is now pleasant to
contrast the sufferings of last winter—the cold, exposure,
famine, and want of clothing then endured—with the prospect
of plenty and almost of comfort during that which approaches,
and to observe the activity that prevails to make the most of
the ample means supplied. The necessary roads progress
rapidly towards completion. Drainage is not neglected, and,
indeed, it is a question whether it be not almost overdone.
Some of the ditches, dug along each side of roads, and around
stores, hospital huts, and otherestablishments, are of formidable
width and depth, and of a dark night are likely to prove
dangerous pitfalls to wanderers through the camp, especially
if they have been taking " just one more tumbler" in the
quarters of some hospitable friend. On the other hand, here,
where the rains are frequently torrents, during which the
water sweeps down the slopes in sheets and floods, deep drain-
age is essential if we are not to live in a quagmire, as we hitherto
have done as often as the weather has been wet.

YESTERDAY,
According to the terms of adjournment, the further inquiry
into this case was proceeded with in the magistrates' private
room, before Mr. Mansfield and Captain Robertson yesterday
morning. Before the regular proceedings had commenced,
J. W. Harden, Esq., Judge of the Cheshire County Court,
at Birkenhead, having applied for permission to the bench to
do so, said he had taken the liberty of attending on behalf of
his brother-in-law, the Bishop of Sydney, who had gone out a
passenger in the Mermaid on her last voyage to Melbourne.
The bishop had desired him (Mr. Harden) to state that he
entertained the very highest respect for Captain Devey, per-
sonally, and -that he regarded him as a most intelligent and
amiable as well as gentlemanly man. That he had experienced
the greatest attention and care from him, and had implicit
reliance on his Management of the ship as a prudent and judi-
cious man, 'an able seaman, and an officer of courage and
judgment.
i- the first witness called was Mr. Wilson Green, surveyor of
shipping to the Board of Trade. He stated generally that he
was acquainted with the character and structure of the Mer-
maid, having examined her shortly after she arrived in Liver-
pool from America, where she was built. She was a ship of
medium sharpness of bottom, and was well upon the floor. From
his knowledge of her form,' le would not consider her making '
from six to eight inches of water an hour, as indicated iu the
cell, through leakage, any cause for alarm ; and certainly would
not have thought it any reason for considering her unfit to
make the voYage-from Pernambuco to Liverpool. He came
to this conclusion because the well was small and 'would be
easily filled, as it contained but little room for water. To one
inexperienced in such matters it might appear alarming, but
he did not think it was any cause of danget% He had heard
the evidence given, and had read the report of the survey
made at Pernambuco. From all he had heard and read, and
front his knowledge of the ship, he should not think there was
any danger to he apprehended; indeed in passenger ships he
had found those the me-t healthy which did admit a little
leakage. From what he saw of the ship, he was of opinion
that she is equal in strength to the ordinary ships of the class
to which she bekmgs. Supposing the evidence he had heard
to be true, which he had no rembn to doubt, he should not
for a moment have hesitated to proceed in her from Pernam-
buco to Liverpool. If he had himself examined her there and
found the mztters in connexion with her as stated, he should
have said the ship was quite fit to proceed.
Mr. Robert James, and Mr. William Hazledean, ship
surveyors to the Board of Emigration, were jointly examined,
and they stated in general that they surveyed the Mermaid
when she came 'first to Liverpool, that was in April,lBs4, and
she was then a bran-new ship. She had been jointly inspected
by them and by Lloyd's. The examination was fOr classifi-
cation and also for registration to make the voyage as- a
passenger ship. Everytrung Was done to her to render .her
in all respects fitted for the purposes 'of a passenger ship.
When completed she was as efficient as a ship could be. She was
sound and Well built, and a superior ship of her claSs. She
was a starfish bottomed ship with a good rise of &or. They
should not consider a Ship•-of her build making six or seven
inches of water in the well during the first hour or so after it had
been pumped out, a matter of great consequence, and not one
indicating atiy danger. Their reason for thinking so was, that
she was very fall of timber, and he not much space for hold •
ing water, so that it Would show fast and rise rapidly. They
had examined her in the graving-dock since her last arrival.
In doing so, they observed water trickling down the keel, near
the garboard strake,•onthe larboard side, that is close tothe keel.' 1
On seeing this, they ordered the topper to be taken off, which
was done. On- the copper and felt being stripped oft there
was a rush of water, about three inches broad, which came
out of the joint at the garboard strake. Examination showed
this to have been neglected in the zaulking. The copper was
all stripped off, -and the whole' of the bottom was carefully
examined, but there was nothing else the matter with her.
No other .part of the caulking was soft. The part referred to
was caulked, and -she is now perfectly tight. She shows no
indication of having been strained in any way. Theptch was
not cracked forward nor aft of the leak, nor on her topsides.
Not a drop of water had been-made on the opposite side of the
keel to that where the leak was. They saw her in the dry
dock when she was about to depart ou her last voyage, as she
was then coppered, not having been done so on •her first
voyage. She was then perfectly sound, and well found in .
every respect. _. _
Ciiptaiii Samuel Reed, manager of the Ferries under the
Woodside Commissioners, was next examined. He said he
knew the port of Pernambuco well, having been six or eight
times in it, across the bar. There is not more than fourteen
feet water on, the bar. He knows:the Mermaid well, having
often examined her, he having at one Hine been intended to
command her. She is a vessel which would draw from nine-
teen to twenty feet, and if heavily laden would draw twenty-
one feet. In his opinion she could not have been safely
lightened.to a draft of fourteen feet, and he should have con-
sidered it dangerous to attempt taking such a vessel over
the bar. _ _ _
Evidence was then offered to show that the cargo had been
delivered in good order in Liverpool; but it was not•thought
desirable.by the gentlemen making the inquiry.
Mr. Hull then briefly addressed the bench, contending that
the .justification of Capt. DeveY's conduct ha I been complete.
Captain Robertson said, after hearing the evidence he had
consulted with his colleague, and they had agreed entirely in
the -statement made by the learned gentleman. They had
also thought it right to state what their report on the case
would be. It would be in substance nearly as follows : after
due consideration of the evidence and looking to all the cir-
cumstances-which had been brought forward, they were of
opinion that the Captain was justtfied in proceeding in the
Mermaid from Pernumbuco to Liverpool ; and that so far from
being to blame for doing so, they thought that under all the
trying circumstances, he had done all that could reasonably
have been expected from a person placed in so responsible and
trying a position.
This announcement was received with a ;hearty manifesta-
tion of.applauce.

WORKING MEN'S PROTESTANT
REFORMATION SOCIETY.
. THE Anniversary Tea-party of the Liverpool Working Men's
Protestant Reformation Society was held last night, in the
Concert-Hall, Lord Nelson-street, which was tastefully deco-
rated for the occasion with loyal and appropriate flags, ban-
ners, &c. The refreshments, which were abundant in quantity
and excellent in quality, were provided by Mr. Milbourn, of
Clarence-street, and as every seat in the vast building was
occupied, the coup d'ail was of the most pleasing character,
showing the satisfactory progress of the society, which, at its
present rate of increase, will soon outgrow any building in
Liverpool.
The chair was occupied by the Rev. Dr. M`Neile, and-
beside hinif on the, platform were the Rev. Dr. Taylor, Rev.
J. Bards:ley, Rev. S. Sampson, Rev. J. B. Lowe, Rev. S. B.
Sutton, Rev. Levison, Rev. V. M. White, F. T. Glazebrook,
Esq., Dr. Batty, Messrs. J. Purnell,..Theinas Ball, W. N.
Thompson, C. P. M`Carthy, A. Eaton, Dr. Whittle, &c. ti fter
due justice had been done to the refreshments by the party
assembled, which numbered •nearly eleven hundred, and
acknowlegraents had been made by grace, which was sung in
good style.
The CHAIRMAN said, that Englishmen should never allow the
sth of November to pass unhonoured and unsung, for it was
the anniversary of great and important events. They might
take advantage of the recent enthusiasm to animate that
spirit which he trusted would ever burn within the breasts of
Englishmen, notwithstanding the blighting influence of
Liberalism. He wanted to see more boldness and courage in
high places ; he wanted a minister -to state in plain and intel-
ligible terms what course in his opinion ought to be pursued,
and to stake his existence as a minister upon that coarse being
carried out. There was too much, however, of plausibility and
clipping phrases and pleading practical difficulties, instead
of that out-spoken manliness which ought to animate British
statesmen. They, however, as Protestants, would stand by
their opinions, and let all the world know, from the people of
this town to the Pope of Rome, the reasons which induced
them to continue their commemoration of the sth of November.
They had been accused of being uncharitable in thus per-
petuating the remembrance of a grievous and monstrous crime.
He denied it. They commemorated the merciful deliverance
of the nation from a frightful blow which was aimed, and
unless it could be shown that any one living had sympathies
or connexions with the eunspicators of 1605, their coin-
_
memoration could not be said to be uncharitable or unkiad.
If there were any class, or even an individual, who said their
commemoration was an insult to their feelings, their princi-
ples, or their religion, such a class or such an individual must
feel a sympathy with those who would have committed the
horrible outrage, the deliverance from which. they com-
memorated. _lt was said that the language made use of was
insulting, because the Church of Enwlnnd called it a Popish
conspiracy. They did call it so, and they would continue to
call it so, for the simple reason that it was true, and no other
word expressed it so appropriately. The prelates of the
Romish ClArch had openly avowed that that church detested
the horrible principles by which the conspirators were
actuated. If that were so, why did not the Romanists join
with them in commemorating the deliverance of the nation
from such a foul conspiracy ? If, on the other, hand the
Romanists thought the .commemoration insulting or un-
charitable, then it was clear that they did not detest the
abominable principles of the conspirators. They were-on the
two horns of a delemma, and they might take which they
please. If there were no other circumstance than the
Gunpowder Plot, there would be ample justification for them
to call it a Popish conspiracy; but when they had abundant
proof of the Church of Rome sanctioning, and enjoining
the horrid principle of subjects putting Princes to death,
there would be no doubt of their right to call it a
Popish conspiracy. The Chairman read some extracts from a
work, showing the claim of the Romish Church to power over
temporal sovereigns, and the form of the bulls promulgated
against Henry VIII. and Queen Elizabeth, the latter inciting
to numerous attempts against the life of the Sovereign, and
leading, in course •of time, to the Gimpowder Plot. The
Chairman also read some extracts from the history of the
period, showing the means that were taken by the instru-
ments of Rome-to incite conspiracies against the Sovereign of
England. He thought they had abundant testimony that the
Gunpowder Plot was a Popish conspiracy; and he thought
also he had shown logically and conclusively, that the charge
against them, of their commemoration being uncharitable and
unkind, was totally Without foundation. After some brief
-observations on the recent excommunication of the King of
Sardinia, because of his manliness respecting the sale of
church property, and of the concordat by which the Emperor
of Austria had bound hiMself to the Pope of Home, the
Chairman concluded by remarking that they wanted to make
every Christian a better Protestant, every Protestant a bettor
Christian.
The Rev. V. M. WHITE moved the first resolution, viz.—
" That this meeting desires to express its fervent gratitude to
Almighty God for that special providence exercised on behalf
of his truth in these kingdoms, in the detection and defeat of
the conspiracy known as the Gunpowder plot.' " In moving
the adoption of the resolution, he defended the celebration of
the anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot by reference to the
celebration by the Israelites of their festivals in Egypt. He
remarked that many people pretended .to say it was un-
charitable to denounce the religion of those who conscien-
tiously differ from us. Such pretended charity he regarded
as the most unwholesome species of apathy. It was not
necessary, in offering the most strenuous opposition to Popery,
to do any violence to Papists. While we hate the evils of
llomanism, we do not hate Roman Catholics. The reverse of
all this is true. His Holiness the Pope_ himself may yet have
to flee from Rome, as he has aforetime. If this thould hap-
pen, I only wish he may come to Liverpool, and I shall take
care that he meets with a fair reception in a place not a hun-
dred miles from Islington. (Laughter.) I hope those who profess
so much charity as that to which I hav e alluded,may not yethave
to appeal to us fOr aid to enable them to retain possession of
God's holy word itself. In reference to the landing of
William 111., he read an extract from the history of the Pres-
byterian Church in Ireland, and contended from it that the
Presbyterians arc in reality the more thorough Protestants.
He next made allusion to the class of politicians known as
the Peace-at-any-price men, who were not, he said, very
popular among any of the parties now dividing the country ;
he was afraid there was a sort of peace-at-any-price men in
connexion with the sacred principles of truth. Men professing
to be Christians, who would compromise their allegiance to
Christ, and, deserting his standards, prefer to gain the ap-
plause of men as professors of charity, while they allowed
the oracles of truth to be trodden under foot. By this class of
men, we are told that it is disrespectful towards our Popish
French Ally, to be, at the present time mere especially, de-
• nouncing the errors of Popery. While we are told this, may
we not ask at the same time, whether it is not as disrespectful
in the Emperor of the French to refuse toleration to his Pro-
testant subjects ? Whether it is not as disrespectful towards
us, that he should be at the present moment devoting the
cannon taken at Sebastopol, which we have fought for, to
casting a statute of the Virgin Mary. (Oh ! oh !) In con-
clusion, he said he had much pleasure in moving the adoption
of the resolution.
The Rev. S. B. SUTTON seconded the motion, and in doing
so referred at great length to the scriptural examples for cele-
brating peculiar times. He also, adverted to the censure
thrown by Christ himself upon the Scribes and Pharisees for
being ignorant of the signs of times and seasons. He said
unless some times were set apart for such observances, men
were apt to forget the peculiar marking periods of their his-
tory : and it seemed to be a special interposition of Providence,
which from time to time stirred up particular recollections.
Unless something out of the ordinary course happen to awaken
men's attention, they are apt to forget the over-ruling band
which glides and regulates their acts. it is only when the ordi-
nary course of things are interrupted that men begin to
turn towards God, and to reflect on the inestimable value
of his aid. When war, or famine, or pestilence or some great
:convulsion of the natural world occurs, men are immediately
roused to look from secondary to first causes. In the course
of these mysterious occurrences which God sometimes permits
to occur, we are led to see, in a marked degree, the means
provided by him for our escape. So, on one of these occasions,
•we were favoured with the landing of William Prince of
Orange on our shores. That event took place on the sth of
'November, and that circumstance alone gives good reason for
a celebration on its anniversary. Popery, though it laid claim
to being a religion, it should be borne in mind, was not a
religion —but a delusion ; and it behoves religious men to
devote one day in the year to a celebration of a great and
specialinterposition of God in favour of His divine truth. In •
conclusion, be had much pleasure in seconding the adoption of
the resolution.
The resolution, having been put from the Chair, was carried
unanimously.
The National Anthem was here sung, and a collection was
made.
The Rev. Dr. TAYLOR moved the second resolution, that
"this meeting desires to record its deep thankfulness to
Almighty God for the prosperous arrival of King William
111. in these realms on the sth of November, 1688." He pro-
ceeded to say that there were circumstances connected with
that event, which justify the language of the resolution, as
-we were then .delivered from the dominion of Pope and
,Pcpery. As all must be aware, William 111. succeeded James
11. who had succeeded his brother Charles 11. James was of
an arbitrary dispoSition, and he was also a bigotted adherent
of,his religions opinions. An honest bigot, but a fooliSh one.
INTo sooner had he -succeeded to the throne but he
.publicly
gave official attendanee at the Popish Mass-house. This was
contrary to the law at the time, but he persisted in it, and
did more, he insisted ,on his subjects attending also. It is
impossible for ft Roman Catholic who carries out his principles
to be a loyal subject of ;the British Sovereign. I do not say
that :a Boman Catholic is necessarily a disloyal subject,
but one taro tarries - out his principles cannot be a loyal
subject. James not one;; took- the means to introduce
Romani= into this country, but he also insisted on
its being generally observed. This was resisted, notwithstand-
ing; the peremptory orders of the King. Conspicuous among
those who 'opposed the King was Dr. Sharp, who refused to
obey -the injunction of the Kalil, to cease from preaching
controversial sesmons. Failed in this, the King suspended
the laws of the land, and ordered the Bishop of London and
Dr. Sharp both to be deposed from the ministry, and he
obtained a none.° of the Pope, who, coming over to this
country, four Popish Bishops were, by his means, consecrated
by the hand of the King in Westminster. He next interfered
with the election of Members of Parliament; and afterwards
he ordered the Universities to confer honours upon his pet
Jesuit confessors. His next movement was to command
obedience from the clergy, to introduce the Popish mass-books
into their churches. This led to the persecution of the seven
Bishops, and finally to the opening of comnpnications with
William, Prince of Orange, who gave expression to such a
declaration of rights. Shortly after this the same parties
had entered into negotiations with Willliam, ultimately
leudinc, to his arrival in this country, which, from a
history he (Dr. Taylor) had read, appeared to have taken
place on Sunday, the 4th of November, in Torbay ; but so
great was the reverence of Prince William for the sanctity of
the Lord's Day, that he spent the whole of that day in the
observance of religious worship, delaying his landing till the
following day. On the sth day of November, 1688, this most
illustrious Prince landed in England, and, almost immediately,
James made his escape to France. (Cheers.) In allusion to
the Bill of Rights he called for such a shout of approbation as
would shake the walls of the Vatican, and make the Pope to
tremble in his own palace. (Tremendous cheers.)
Mr. C. P. WCARTHY seconded the resolution, which,
having been put from the chair, was unanimously carried.
A vote of thanks was then proposed to the chairman, and
carried amidst great applause ; after which the meeting
separated.
STREET RODBERY.-3lichael Groman, a young man, was
charged yesterday, before the Police-court, with having
knocked down Michael O'Donnell, at the foot of Copperas-hill,
on Saturday night last, and robbed him of half a sovereign.
The prosecutor was drunk at the time; but the case was proved,
and the prisoner was sentenced to one month's imprisonment.

.dispenser of the municipal hospitalities, he
fit nee
and unostentatious, mixing freely with
u4s
111", yet not confining his attention solely
within thai narrow limit. Like his immediate predecessor
he ti.tehted 'those hospitalities to illustrious and distinguished
strangers, and by securing their participation in such social
amenities with his fellow-townsmen, he spread the municipal
fame abroad, while he sustained its dignity at home.
Without intruding any invidiousness of distinction between
them and their predecessors, it is impossible to view the
mayoralties of Mr. TOBIN, ,and Joan Bncit LLOYD as
being-other than in a considerable degree the counterpart and
complement of each other. The distinguishing features of
the former were the inauguration of St. George's Hall, and
the hospitality connected with the meeting of the British
Association fOr the Promotion of Science; thus extending the
hand of social fellowship to those whoare illustrious in science
and distinguished by learning. The festive celebrations of
the latter have likewise in a great degree connected them-
selves with the same edifice. St. George's Hall has been thrown
open by Mr. TOBIN as a place of rational and elevating enter-
tainment for the people, that proceeding being inaugurated by
a musical festival in which even royalty participated. The
first public meeting held in that hall was under the auspices
of Mr. J. BDCIt LLOYD, to set on foot a Liverpool subscription
for the Patriotic Pond. The carrying out of that noble sub-
scription in its princely munificence was perfected by Mr.
TOBIN. A more singular and striking matter in connexion
between this ball and these gentlemen remains yet to be noted.
The principal resolution connected witb that meeting was
proposed in language of manly and thiilling eloquence by the
late venerable Archdeacon Bwoors. The last official act of
Mr. VourN's mayoralty was to presidt over a meeting at which
it was resolved to erect a statue to the memory of the good
man, in that same hall which had 'its echoes first awakened by
his eloquence, as he persuasiccily enforced the claims of the
'widows and orphans of our gilrAnt soldiers to public gratittde
'and national protection.
Another and a valuable 'feature yet remains to rtfce the
mayoralty of Mr. Tonn,,titid to distinguish it from:lint pre-
decessors. During his -tenure of office the heretoforctonflict-
ing interests existing .on 'the opposite shores of 't'he Mersey
have been fused into .atiity of relation ; the bone •of conten-
tion between them 'ha-Oaten removed, theirinterdts have been
amalgamated., and Mr. TOBIN leaves to his saencssor an ex-
tended jurisfiction, 47ith an abbreviated amount of anxiety,
augmented .ffignity;and lessened care.

WORKING MEN'S PROTESTANT
REFORMATION SOCIETY.
TILE Anniversary Tea-party of the Liverpool Working Men's
Protestant Reformation Society was held last night, in the
Concert-Hall, Lord Nelson-street, which was tastefully deco-
rated for the occasion with loyal and appropriate flags, ban-
ners, &c. The refreshments, which were abundant in quantity
and excellent in quality, were provided by Mr. MilboUrn, of
Clarence-street, and as every seat in the vast building was
occupied, the coup d'&il was of the most pleasing character,
showing the satisfactory progress of the society, which, at its
present rate of increase, will soon outgrow any building in
Liverpool.
The chair was occupied by the Rev. Br. M'Neile, and
beside him on the platform were the Rev. Dr. Taylor, Rev.
J. Bardaley, Rev. S. Sampson, Rev. J.. B. Lowe, Rev. S. B.
Sutton, Rev. Levison, Rev. V. M. White, F. T. Glazebrook,
Esq., Dr. Batt; Messrs. J. Purnell, Thomas Ball, W. N.
Thompson; C. P. M`Carthy, A. Eaton, Dr. Whittle, &e. A fter
due justice had been done to the refreshments by the party
assembled, which numbered nearly eleven hundred, and
acknowlegments had been made by grace, which was sung in
good style. •
The CHAIRMAN said, that Englishmen should never allow the
6th of November to pass unhonoured and unsung, for it was
the anniversary of great and important events. They might
take advantage of the recent enthusiasm to animate that
spirit which he trusted would ever barn within the breasts of
Englishmen, notwithstanding the blighting influence of
Liberalism. He wanted to see more boldness and courage in
high places .; he wanted a minister to state in plain and intel-
ligible terms what course in his opinion ought to be pursued,
and to stake his existence as a minister upon that course being
carried out. There was too much, however, of plausibility and
clipping phrases and pleading practical difficulties, instead
of that out-spoken manliness which ought to animate British
statesmen. They, however, as Protestants, would stand by
their opinions, and let all the world know, from the people of
this town to the Pepe of Rome, the reasons which induced
them to continue their commemoration of the sth of November.
They had been accused of being uncharitable in thus Per-
petuating the remembrance of agrievons and monstrous crime.
He denied it. They commemorated the merciful deliverance
of the nation from a frightful blow which was aimed, and
unless it coed be shown that any one living had sympathies
or connexions with the conspirators of 1505, their com-
-1 memoratien could not be said to be uncharitable or unkind.
If there were any class, or even au individual, who said their
commemoration was an insult to their feelings, their princi-
ples, or their religion, such a class or such an individualC must
feel a -sympathy with those who would have committed the
horrible outrage, the deliverance from which they com-
memorated. It was said that the language made use of was
intuiting, because the Church of England called it a Popish
conspiracy. They did call it so, and they would continue to
,Pall it so, for the simple reason that it was true, and no other '
word expressed it so appropriately. The prelates of the
Romish Church had openly avowed that that church detested
the horrible principles by. which the conspirators were
actuated. If that were so, why did not the Romanists join
with them in commemorating the deliverance of the nation
from 'such a foul conspiracy ? If, on the other, hand the
Romanists thought the commemoration insulting or un-
charitable, then it was clear that they did not detest the
'abominable principles of the conspirators. They were on the
two horns of a delemma, and they might take which they
please. If there were no other circumstance than the
Gunpowder Plot, there would be ample justification for them
to call it a Popish conspiracy; but when they had abundant
proof of the Church of Rome sanctioning, and enjoining
the horrid principle of subjects putting Princes to death,
there would be no doubt of their . right to call it a
Popish conspiracy. The Chairman read some extracts from a
work, showing the claim of the Romish Church to power over
temporal sovereigns, and the form of the bulls promulgated
against Henry VIII. and Queen Elizabeth, the latter inciting
to numerous attempts against the life of the Sovereign, and
leading, in course of time, to the Gunpowder Plot. The
Chairman also read some extracts from the history of the
period, showing the means that were taken by the instru-
ments of Rome to incite conspiracies against the Sovereign of
England. He thought they had abundant testimony that the
Gunpowder Plot was a Popish conspiracy; and he thought
also he had shown logically and conclusively, that the charge
against them, of their commemoration being uncharitable and
unkind, was totally without foundation. After some brief
observations on the recent excommunication of the King of
Sardinia, because of his manliness respecting the sale of
church property, and of the concordat by which the Emperor
of Austria had bound himself to the Pope of Rome, the
Chairman concluded by remarking that they wanted to make
every Christian a better Protestant, every Protestant a better
Christian.
The Rev. V. M. WUITE moved the first resolution, viz.—
'" That this meeting desires to express its fervent gratitude to
Almighty God for that special providence exercised on behalf
-of his truth in these kingdoms, in the detection and defeat of
'the•conspiracy known as the ' Gunpowder plot.' " In moving
the adoption of the resolution, he defended the celebration of
-the anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot by reference to the
'celebration by the Israelites 14 their festivals in Egypt. He
• remarked that many people pretended to say it was un-
-charitable to denounce the religion of those who conscien-
tiously differ from us, Such pretended charity he regarded
as the most unwholesome species of apathy. It was not
-necessary, in offering the most strenuous opposition to Popery,
to do any violence .to Papists. While we hate the evils of
Romanism, we do not hate Roman Catholics. The reverse of
all this is true. His Holiness the Pope himself may yet have
'to flee from Rome, as he has aforetime. If this thould hap-
pen, 1-only wish he may come to Liverpool, and I shall take
care that he meets with a fair reception in a place not a hun-
dred miles from Islington. (Laughter.) I hope those who profess
40 much charity as thatto Fhichl have alluded, may not yethave
to appeal to us for aid to enable them to retain possession of
God's holy word itself. In reference to the landing of
William 111., he read an extract from the history of the Pres-,
byterian Church in Ireland, and contended from it that the.
Presbyterians are in reality the more thorough Protestants.
Fie next made allusion to the ,class of politicians known as
the Peace-at-any-price men, who were not, he said, very
popular among any of the parties now dividing the country ;
he was afraid there was a sort of peace-at-any-price men in
connexion with the sacred principles of truth. Men professing
to •be Christians, who would compromise their allegiance to
Christ, and, deserting his standards, prefer to gain the ap-
plause of men as professors of charity, while they allowed
the oracles of truth to be trodden under foot. By this class of
-men, we are told that it is disrespectful towards our Popish
.French Ally, to be, at the present time more especially, de-
nouncing the errors of Popery. While we are told this, may
we not ask at the same time, whether it is not as disrespectful
in the Emperor of the French to refuse toleration to his Pro-
testant subjects ? Whether it is not as disrespectful towards
us, that he should be at the present moment devoting the
'cannon taken at Sebastopol, which we have fought for, to
,easting a statute of the Virgin Mary. (Oh ! oh !) In con-
.elusion, he said he had much pleasure in moving the adoption
. of the resolution.
•
The Re.v. SUTTON seconded the motion, and in doing
so referred at great length to the scriptural examples for cele-
brating peculiar times. He also adverted to the censure
thrown by Christ himself upon the Scribes and Pharisees for
being ignorant of the signs of times and seasons. He said
.unleas some times were set apart for such observances, men
swereapt to forget the peculiar marking periods of their his-
tory:: and it seemed to be a special interposition of Providence,
'which from time to time stirred up particular recollections.
lJnless something out of the ordinary course happen to awaken
,men's attention, they are apt to forget the over-ruling hand
-which *ides and regulates their acts. it is only when the ordi-
nary .course of things are interrupted that men begin to
turn towards God, and to reflect on the inestimable value
of his aid. When war, or famine, or pestilence or some great
.convulsion of the natural world occurs, men are immediately
roused to look from secondary to first causes. In the course
of these mysterious occurrences which God sometimes permits
to occur, we are led to see, in a marked degree, the means
:provided by him for our escape. So, on one of these occasions,
we were favoured with the landing of William Prince of
Orange on our shores. That event took place on the sth of
November, and that circumstance alone gives good reason for
a celebration on its anniversary. Popery, though it laid claim
to being a religion, it should be borne in mind, was not a
religion—but a delusion; and it behoves religious men to
.devote one day in the year to a celebration of a great and
special interposition of God in favour of His divine truth. In
:conclusion, he had much plea Sure in seconding the adoption of
the resolution.
The resolation, having been put from the Chair, was carried
,unanimously.
The National Anthem was here sung, and a collection was
Anade.
The Bev. Dr. TAYLOR moved the second resolution, that
"-this meeting desires to record its deep thankfulness to
Almighty God for the prosperous arrival of King William
111. in these realms on the sth of November, 1688." He pro-
ceeded to say that there were circumstances connected with
that event, which justify the language of the resolution, as
Ave were then delivered from the dominion of Pope and
Popery. As all must be aware, William 111. succeeded James
11. who had succeeded his brother Charles IL James was of
:an arbitrary disposition, and he was also a bigotted adherent
of his religious opinions. An honest bigot, but a foolish one.
No sooner had he succeeded to the throne but .he
_publicly
gave .official atteodatce at the Popish Mass-house. This was
contrary to the law at the time, but he persisted in it, and
did more, be insisted on his subjects attending also. It is
impossible for a Roman Catholic who carries out his principles
to be a loyal subject of the British Sovereign. I do not say
that a Roman Catholic is necessarily a disloyal subject,
but one who carries out his principles cannot be a loyal
subject, James not only took the means to introduce
Romanism into this country, but he also insisted on
its being generally observed. This was resisted, notwithstand-
ing the peremptory orders of the King. Conspicuous among
those who opposed the King wag Dr. Sharp, who refused to
obey the injunction of the King, to cease from preaching
controversial sermons. Failed in this, the King suspended
the laws of the land, and ordered the Bishop of London and
Dr. Sharp both to be deposed from the ministry, and he
obtained a nuncio of the Pope, who, coming over to this
country, four Popish Bishops were, by his means, consecrated
by the hand of the King in Westminster. He next interfered
with the election of Members of Parliament ; and afterwards
he ordered the Universities to confer honours upon his pet
Jesuit confessors, His next movement was to command
obedience from the clergy, to introduce the Papish mass-books
into their churches. This led to the persecution of the seven
Bishops, and finalli to the opening of communications with
William, Prince cf Orange, who gave expression to such a
declaration of rights. Shortly after this the same parties
had entered into negotiations with William, ultimately
leading to his arrival in this country, which, from a
history he (Dr. Taylor) had read, appeared to have taken
place ,on Sunday, the 4th of November, in Torbay; but so
great was the reverence of Prince William for the sanctity of
the Lord's Day, that he spent the whole of that day in the
observance of religious worship, delaying his landing till the
following day, On the sth day of November, 1688, this most

ESTABLISHED HALF A CENTURY,
SARSAPARILLA.
PRIESTLEY'S FLUID. EXTRACT OF THE
FINEST• RED JAMAICA SARSAPARILLA.
This most efficient and agreeable preparation of that
well-known and valuable alterative, JAMAICA: SA RS A.
PAItI LL A, is prepared by a peculiar and scientific
method ; and the experience of many years has fully established
the reputation of this medicine, as containing mere of the virtues
of the root than any other preparation. Its beneficial effects have
been particularly striking in the following complaints:—Noctur-
nal pains in the limbs, scrofulous enlargement of the gland!, cu-
taneous affections, chronic rheumatism, &c. ; in freeing the sys-
tem after a course of mercury, its beneficial effects are very power-
ful. It purifies the blood, and, by giving to the cutaneous vessels
a healthy and regular action, it removes that disposition to
erysipelatous inflammation from which so many persons periodi-
cally suffer ; and when taken in the spring and fall of the
year, as an alterative medicine, it will be found to impart that
strength to the constitution which is indicated by firmness of
flesh, good appetite; and freshness of the complexion.
N.B. To persons of a plethoric habit it is most invaluable, as it
thins and promotes a free circulation of the blood, thereby pre-
venting attacks of apoplexy.
Sold in bottles, 4s. 6d., 7s. 6d., Its., and 225., at 52, Lord-street.
PRIESTLEY'S VEGETABLE PILLS,
FOR PURIFYING THE BLOOD.—They are the best
medicine that can be taken for removing all eruptions and
pimples from the face, arms, and body, and for cleansing and
purifying the blood and invigorating the system. To parties re-
siding in warm climates, or proceeding to sea, they are invaluable.

• Sold in boxes, 2s. 9d., 4s. Gd., Ils. and 225., each containing
directions for use, carefully packed. and sent to every part of the
kingdom, or world, on receipt of Post. office order made payable
to JOH X PRIESTLEY, 52, Lord-street.
PRIESTLEY'S ANTIBILIOUS PILL S-
Established in the year 1822—are, from experience, decidedly
the best aperient and antibilious medicine for general use, al
they need no confinement or alteration of diet, therefore they may
be taken at all seasons. •
These Pills will prove highly efficacious in bilious complaints,
scorbutic complaints, affections of the nervous system, lowness
of spirits, palpitation of the heart, rheumatic pains in the head,
limbs, and other parts of the body ; oppression of the chest, indi-
gestion, redundancy of bile, dizziness of the eyes, violent pains in
the temples and across the forehead, impaired memory, sick
headache, tremulous action of the whole frame, restlessness and

PRIESTLEY'S COUGH and ASTHMATICAL
DROPS. This invaluable Medicine immediately relieves
Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, Difficulty of Breathing, and Huski-
ness in the Throat. These Drops are also the best preventative
that can be taken against spitting of blood and affection of the
lungs. Persons troubled with Asthma are considerably relieved
by taking a few doses of the Drops, as they tend to promote ex-
ectorationgp and remove viscid phlegm. For the speedy cure of
The Hooping Cough they are no less efficacious. Those who are
troubled with that unpleasant tickling in the throat, which de-
prives them of rest night after night, by the incessant cough
which it provokes, will, by taking one dose, find immediate re-
lief, and one Bottle, in most cases, will effect 'a
cure.

and this he illustrates very forcibly in the contrast
between
ENGLISH AND FRENCH COLONISTS
You cannot convince an English settler that he will
be abroad for an indefinite number of years; the •idea
would be equivalent to transportation; he consoles him-
'self with the hope that something wil turn up to alter
'the apparent'certainty of his exile ; and in this hope,
with his mind ever fixed upon his return, he does nothing
for_posterity in the colony. He rarely even plants a
fruit-tree, hoping that his stay will not allow him to
gather from it. This accounts for the poverty of the
-gardens and enclosures around the houses of the English
inhabitants, and the general dearth of any fruits worth
eating.
HOW different is the appearance of French colonies,
and how different are the feelings of the settler ! The
word "adieu"' once spoken, he sighs an eternal farewell
to the shores of " La belle France," and, with the natural
light-heartedness of the nation, he settles cheerfully in a
colony as his adopted country. He lays out his grounds
with taste, and plants groves of exquisite fruit-trees,
whose produce will, he hopes, be tasted by his children
and grandchildren. Accordingly, in a French colony
there is a tropical beauty in the cultivated trees and
flowers, Which is seldom seen in our own possessions.
The fruits are brought to perfection, as there is the same
care taken in pruning and grafting the finest kiads as in
our gardens in England.
A Frenchman is necessaaily a better settler; every-
thing is arranged for permanency, from the building of a
house to the cultivation of an estate. He does not distress
his land for immediate profit, but from the very com-
mencement he adopts a system of the highest cultivation.
The latter is now acknowledged as the most remunerative
course in all countries; and its good effects are already
seen in Ceylon, where, for some years past, much at-
tention has been devoted to manuring on c( ffee.estates.
From the extracts given, it will be readily
apparent that Mr. Baker roves over a wide field
of observation ; that he treats his diversified sub-
jects in a healthy- and manly way, and, as a neces-
sary consequence, produces a book which will
afford instructive amusement ,to an extensive
variety of readers, each of whom will find some-
thing to interest him, while to those who delight
in perusing the ever-charming book of nature, the
narrative and reflections of Mr. Baker will prove
a source of extensive gratification, and a large
storehouse of interesting facts well put together.

'Power, Wisdom, and Goodness, proved by
His Works and by His Word; with the neces-
sary Inferences therefrom. By Barnett Blake.

'This tastefully got up volume, we are told in
the preface, owes its existence to the competition
invited some considerable time since at Aberdeen,
for " the two best Treatises, designed to prove,
both with and without the aid of Revelation, the
Existence of a Supreme being, all-powerful, all-
wise, and all-good.' It was not, we are also told
in the preface, successful in gaining either of the
prizes ; why that was so, we have no means of
knowing ; but, from what we see of. this, if real
merit constituted the ground of preference, the
'competition was one of no ordinary keenness, but
of great intellectual value. The treatise before
us, without descending to minute technicalities,
displays a ready, general knowledge of most of
:the physical and intellectual sciences, and these
.are so arranged as to bear directly and constantly
'upon the subject to be proved. The logical
sequence is never lost sight of. Commencing his
demonstration with man as the highest of or-
ganised
beings, our author traces him physically
and intellectually through all the stages of his
cxistence, tracing through each of them the in-
evitable conclusion of felicitious design, varied
creative power, and unmistakeable benevolence of
intention. The bent of Mr. Blake's mind seems
eminently in unison with his theme ; and thus,
matters which to many would prove stumbling-
blocks in the path, are converted into ready
means of forwarding his argument.

The proceedings of local soeieties.in illustration
of the past or current history of the districts it
which they are respectively situated are objects
not alone of local interest ; on the contrary,,
the researches- of such bodies, as they tend to
elucidate the progress of events in the districts
to which they more immediately refer, are valua-
ble in a high degree in unravelling the frequently
tangled skein of general history. Viewed in this
light,. the transactions of local historic and archaeo-
logical societies are . matters of extensive im-
portance to the general scholar, and in his eyes
their value will be enhanced in proportion as they
are the record of passing events, as well as the
repository of speculations relative to those which
have long since passed away. How far such
chronicles may be legitimately employed as
vehicles for the conveyance of merely scientific
inquiries, unless these have some bearing on the
current of history, • may well admit of cautious
consideration. In the volume before us there are
one or two papers, valuable no doubt in themselves,
but very questionable elements in the composition
of that varied collection of memoranda the

LIVERPOOL TOWN COUNCIL..
ON Tuesday, a special meeting of the council was held, his
worship the Mayor (J. A. Tobin, Esq.,) presiding, for the pur-
pose of winding up the affairs of the official year, preparatory
to the municipal elections.
FINANCE COMMITTEE.-ENGAGEMENTS AND LIABILITIES OF
THE CORPORATION.
The proceedings of the Finance Committee contained
several recommendations, among which was one to advance
two several sums of £4,309 and 1;4,208 for the construction of
permanent buildings required by Messrs. Clover and Royle,
and Messrs. Clayton and M`Keverigan, on land leased by
them at Birkenhead, for ship-building purposes.. There
was likewise a recommendation to appoint Mr. Hutton assist-
taut book-keeper in the Treasurer's office, at a salary of 8120.
Mr. HORNBY, in moving the confirmation of the proceed-
ings, stated that the outlay proposed in respect to the
ship-building purposes would yield an annual return of
GI per cent., and said that when the buildings were finished,
the establishments connected with them would be the most
complete of the kind in this country. He expressed a hope
that the recommendation of the committee to abstain from any
new schemes of local improvement Whuld be concurred in by
the Council, stating as a reason, that, during the next munici-
pal year, the new Assize Courts, .the Borough Gaol, and the
courts in Dale-street, will absorb upwards of £40,000; while
£25,000 will be required within the same period towards the
new landing-stage. The large engagements of the Corporation
on the other side of the water .formed another consideration.
of great importance, and, though he 'did not in the least regret
the purchase of the Birkenhead Docks, than which he thought
there was no measuremore calculated to contribute ultimately_
to the prosperity of the port of Liverpool, he could not disguise
from himself the fact that, without great care and good ma-
nagement for a few years, the surplus income of the Corpora-
-tion would be swept away, and a borough rate necessitated.
Under these circumstances, he urged the Council to sanction
heartily the recommendations of the committee.

THE NEW FREE LIBRARY AND MUSEUM: MR. BROWN'S
GRANT.
The proceedings of the Improvement Committee comprised
a recommendation that all necessary steps should be taken for
acquiring the property- between Shaw's-brow and Clayton-
street, from Mill-lane to Byrom-street, as a site for a public
library and museum, under the provisions of the Liverpool
Improvement Act of 1855. In connexion with this subject, a
letter was read from W. Brown, Esq., M. P., upon the subject
of his donation of £6,000, promised in 1853, towards the erec-
tion of a building for a free library, and stating that, if the
Corporation did not take steps to purchase the necessary pro-
perty, he should consider that they had declined his offer, and
should adopt means to have the money applied to other edu-
cational purposes. The recommendation of the committee
was carried.

TRANMERE INKERMAN CELEBRATION.
THE fifth of November was kept up with great spirit at
Tranmere, yesterday, by a display, intended to be also in com-
memoration of the Battle of Inkerman. For some weeks past,
a committee had been. getting together a fund for the purpose.
Upwards of. '&35, was subscribed by 132 gentlemen ; amongst
them, we are happy to add, a few Greek gentlemen who live
in the neighbourhood. During the day, salutes of cannon
were fired at intervals in a field opposite the mill at Holt
mu, the use of which was granted by Mr. Samuel
Lightbound. The.:field and the houses in the neighbourhood
were decorated with a great displayof flags. A square, formed
of about forty flag poles, was placed in the field, and in the
oettre was a triumphal arch, twenty feet high, bearing the
word " Inkermau" in red, white, and blue lettere, (which
formed.a transparency at night,) decorated with festoons of
evergreens, and surmounted with the four allied flags. In this
fieldt- beautiful display of fireworks took place at night, pro-
vidediby Mr. Nathan Knowles of this town. Several balloons
with/ oatingstars, immense rockets, and 4 andS•inch.shells,
were sent up during the evening. Theres ere fivelargefirework
pieces, tree principal bearing a transparency in the ,centre, in
the form of an escutcheon, with an inscription on-the four
sides, of"; Alma," " Balaklova," " Inkerman; and "Sehosto-
pol." OA :the inner .edge of these words was the motto,
" Honour eto the Fallen',Brave,'! the centred the lozenge
bearing the names " St, Arnaud, Cathcart, Raglan, Bizet,
Lyons."
Th:s was appropriately lighted up:oth coloured
fires, and was hailed with great deli,,ht by the:spectators. A.
large bonfire, built of ninety tar and rosin barrels, and a dozen
.eartloacis of sfuivings, old wood, coals, grise„ .&e., was lit at
seven o'clock, on the .highest -part of Holt Common, and,
owing to .its grkat. elevation, was visible from every part of
Liverpool. Aboutfifty gentlemen acted as stewards, and each
wore a red, white, and Moe rosette, with a vignette of gold
etters in the centre, inscribed " Tranmere Inkerman•Celebra-
ion 1855." After the firework display, the stewards were
nviied. to the house of Mr. W. W.:Perrey (who had contributed
a toward the fund), -where they were provided with the inost
liberal entertainment by that gentleman. Mr. Perrey had
also.gone to great expeose in having house fitted up and
decorated, in honour of the occasion. The stewards after-
wards matched in procession to the Britannia-rooms, Lower
Chairman of the Celebration .Comm tee, and various
Tramnere. The chair was occupied by Mr. Thomas Wright,
appropriate
toasts were drunk. The committee en.-
trusted the pitting up of the decorations to Mr. Daniel
31Vrum, for many years docorator at the theatres of this
town, and he fulfilled his task in a manner that elicited
the loud approbation of all the Spectators. Vie farmers of
the various joiners and builders had been colleclalg shavings
Traumere. contributed their quota of fuel to the bonfire, and
for some time, in anticipation of the display. Messrs. Corgis
and Harrison very
liberally provided all the wood required
for erecting the designs. Many parties in Liverpool also
subscribed to the fund, and contributed fuel.

DEATH OF TWO 3io RE OF TICE STARVED CHILDREN.—
It must be in the remembrance of all our readers, that in
August last a revolting spectacle of parental depravity was
brought to light by the death of two children named Aspinall,
who died from neglect and starvation—the case being ren-
dered still more miserable by both the parents being com-
mitted for trial, under the verdict of a coroner's jury finding
them both guilty of " Wilful murder." Four of the unfortu-
nate children who still survived were at that time admitted
to the Workhouse, and on Tuesday the two youngest chil-
dren died there, within an hour of each other.
MANCHESTER.—The improvement which took effect at the
close of last week is still apparent in this market; and though
prices remain low, there is still more steadiness. The strin-
gency in the money market is rather less severe, which has
had the effect of inducing a somewhat more cheerful feeling,
whilst the upward movement of the Liverpool cotton market
has assisted to steady prices, and to give them an upward ten-
dency. At the same time, it is difficult to obtain any advance;
and though buyers are disposed DOW to give rates they de-
clined to make purchases at last week, as yet the difference in
this respect is but small. Producers are asking more money
in all cases where they are without stock, and this is now much
more generally the case again ; the low prices of late having
induced such purchases as have cleared off stocks in most cases,
and more especially of yarns. Under these circumstances,
spinners more particularly are firm in their requirement of
somewhat higher rates, in which they are countenanced by the
advance in cotton.—Manchester Courier.
