No doubt, whoa the Creeds@ hod goo* ea long enorgh fur every 'sae to have made ui his mind that the Holy flrpalehre would be taken within a certain time, or would never be taken at all. people wondered what there would then he left for gallant gentlemen to do in the world. lust thin, some mariners and fishermen were settling themselves on arta* shores serves the Atlantic. where, in spite of wintry saow-storms and dim fogs wrapping in gloom the soundiog beaches and silent forests, they mw a clear prospect of figure toil and honours end of many a brilliant career for British gentlemen, when the line of the BDwaiws and the Hunts should have weed away. Britons were than beginning to colon ises and while, is the interval between that time and this, many mother wen bee opened and gone by, the natural worse deviate hse brought us to the poiat of time' when the honour of eneceeshal Colonial Adosioistra . don pregame itself as *soot the highest prime within reach olds* virtuous ambition of the nieeteentls ern- tary. Daring that interval, Ragland has sommittod almost every mistake within the range of pomibility is the management of her colonies. For above a century the group of settlements on the North At:an tic were oor only colonies; and they were left to fish and host pretty mush after their own pleasant. Then followed a few acquisitions in the West Indies,which were still Dew in Bnaisruate time; sad one or two on the African coast. When the Plantations Booth of New Brunswick became the home of Puritan refugees, the opening was fairly sada for that kind of emporium which mast furnish us with a tree political philosophy in relation to colonies. For a lag time, oar Marion colonies were treated (u all colonies are toe a time) with negligee's, insolence, and tyranny ; and at length rile happily lost them, gaining in their plass a eicarads in civilisation and commerce, an ally is the vindication of free institutions, and en experiassatal example of the working of democratic trepoldienahm while all forms of despotism are ea their bet trial all over the rest of the world. One sash secession from oar empire wee eesagli, however; sad every Englishman who known what he is talking about is glad that we have about half frhundredoolonies (besides dependencies) still attached to as. We will sot undertake to say that we haw hitherto deserved to have so many, for we have luso extremely slow in learning the lesson which the less of our American utopias should have taught us. The fatal apathy at home which no colony knows how to sedate has been is gross of late years as it ever ws before the American war; so has the insolent' senceit which insisted on legislating for people at the antipodes from the English point of view; and to this may be added the question able Freedom of penal transportation. There was mash to be said for and spinet it ; bet we would sot listen to argument or russastrasee till the attention of the nation was commanded by weans of inesence at home who bad the savage, seal. and industry to do patios to the colonists and the truth. He whom we be/renew to moats, Sir W. /101.111W01111, was the great mover is this work and the Archbishop of DUBLIN and a few Others pee him their support and assistance—just in time, it appears, tomes some of the colonies who made this the question on the soluion of which their continued allegiance to the British Crown should depend. • This is not the only experiment we have tried on oar fellow subjection far shores. Mr. WAXI7IIII.DII principle and method of colonisation, however valu able, must depend for their working on eireemsteness which cannot be so well appreciated in Loaden as es the spot ; and we hare insisted too list # on its abstract merits, and have tee little to modifying censiderationk to lie prodigious detriment of some of the Asset asimelnii ea the globe. We seem hardly to ham loaned yet . that the way of areatiag a wellorganissd sad to plated inclement, and of preventing a dispersion of. the Meer sad waste of capital in a new eoluty, white is right tad meet valuable in the ordinary cireamstames that alone were familiar to us, might be ',rabiese sr eves fatal in a sew mats of things, like that of the gold-disomeries; and we have per sisted in the otherwise sensible policy of MOM. mating labour by restricting land sales under dream steatite in whisk it him been all bet fatal to the colony. All the old tooditions having been set aside by the gold-dissoveriss—labourers abousdiog to dig up their owa espial. instead of dropping in in small numbs's, and comenaleg the capital imported by the time they meld obtain say morn from the soil —the first objest so doubt is to apply as mesh as possible of the abeeeding labour end capi tal to the produstisa of food and materials, for axport. Yet have we insisted on the same regalatioes about the pries sod disposal et lead se if theeolosists were leading in as mem pissed wilderness, where they meet dad with each other by barter, or import their precious metals. The immigrants ham suceseded, after fearful suf ferings end irreparable mischief to the stosals, rope kaki', and prosperity of the colony, is tilling the ground in some places where it ma dug for other porpoise; and a great blessing it is that agricultural Wintry is fairly established about Ballarat, and in some other spots in our Australian colonies. Bet it L a for more important blessing that the English at home have learned that the colonists are the people whit, when coos 'bowleg strength sad capacity for self-government, must be beet able to determine sock questioes as the price of land, and the mode of dis posing of it. This bleseisg—of a amvietios that colonise which ham arrived at a certain point of coo selidation, are better able to govern themselves than say English statesman ma be to gown the.. in reprd to their local inteteste—was sot obtained in Australia, though we derive theme a sigma Bleat». doa of th• truth. We owe it to a series of benefee tars of their country, some of whom bare elaborated the principle, while others have applied it to peso tice. The names of BULLER and Lord DIMEAM, sad sow of lioassworre, came mournfully before the memory here—toes who understood this great *object, sad worked upon it, and died almost before their career was begun.

Oar gallant soldiers hate surpassed all oa• expectation,. . Yesterday minting our main guard and the more elevated redoubts signa!led an unusual movement antocg the enemy. Considerable columns were placed es evidence on the Zeiss ; a portion of llama awed the Hers•Tehai by a bridge, and f rased wear a ,Wage in ruins behind !lane. Soon after the main body of the Russians moved along the left bank towards Tellakmak, which is our mom parented redoubt, and supported by the 'retai:A-labia. It was a determined onset : e we were windy for it. The RUIIIIIIII Infantry, well led on by their officers, attacked with resolutloa, and, notwithstanding the terrible Ire from our two batteries and that of the chachisaan, who find upon them with the:* Mimi rites, they reached t►e ditch, erased it, and sprung upon the parapet. The iopetup of the attack was so great that the enemy established them selves in ma angle of the redoubt. But our soldiers moo regaimid the amendeney, the ire of musketry calmed, and the handful of men who defended Tabakossk-Tabla:rushed with their bayonets on the assailants, who were driven back, breed into the ditch, sad a galling fire kept up on them. This column was broken. An assault was made at the same time on the battery erected by Colonel Lake, but without success. The artil lerymen commanded by Captains Thompson and Tetsdale eompelled it to halt on the brink of the ditch. This first theme inspired our troops with incredible con Mines. The arrival of troops sent from the Arab Table and from the town augmented their ardour. Galena Yea motif' did not stop at this first attempt, and the assault soon assumed the proportions of a battle. The entire Russian stay—fro. 32,000 to 35,000 men—attacked us on all sides ; the attacking opinions followed each other with remarkable energy. The greater part of our positions were carried by the seamy, and retaken with prodigious enthuaimes at the point of the bayonet. Oar soldien termed themselves with glory; they handle the bayonet like French troops. On several points the combat was waged with inoonesivable ferocity. The leglis•Tabls was the principal ales of the flawless ; their efforts here were four times crowned with success; but the valour of Colonel Lake, who was the first to throw himself upon them, inspired his soldiers. Several artillerymen showed sumirable coolest, : four of them, in the battery named afar Captain Thompson, *Sowed themselves to be killed while spiking the guns, after the enemy were amen of the fort for the fourth time. As I mentioned before, we subsequently reesined possession of it. On the left of our line, 400 chaseesue bad the half of their number killed; the rest were almost all wounded. But we coasted eight hundred Russians killed car wounded is the redoubt.

We shall se* our Galatia' flourish or fail in proportion to their, wisdom in framing their political system, and in carrying it into practice. The point of colonial self government is completely settled, and a new age is opening before all oar communities in distant lands. That new age opine a new career to statesmen. There is plenty of work for the riaiog statesman to do, however diligently and successfully every colony may apply itself to the work of self-government. He has to rule and guard minor colonies in their non age, and to diners infallibly the line of separation between imperial and colonial interests and action, and to graduate and diminish imperial control with the nicest wisdom, and to induce certain changes in the form of honours and independence rather than as burdens imposed from home. Ot this last kind is the military defence of colonies which grow from day to day more able to defend themselves. The Colonial Minister has to unite the firmness of an imperial administrator with the modality and candour of a distant observer. He has to defer to colonial know ledge sad habits of thought in some matters, while preserviag the imperial 000trol in others. He has a delicate and difilealt task before him—no lees is the future than in the days when the colonies were wholly and immediately subject to Downing-street rule. It is evident that his work is quite as abundant as it is arduous and delicate. It is is fact perfectly absurd to propose that half a hundred colonies, scat tered through ail climates, should be governed by one Petiolate; of State. That antique arrangement must soon be set aside. To emend it may be the first effort of the man, whoever he may be, who shall prove himself adequate to the splendid career of Ele mental Colonial administration. What will follow, he will himself show as—or the next generation. What we know beforehand is, that a more beneficent and a more brilliant sphere of duty cannot invite the aspirations of a warm heart and a wise head. It was the hope and expectation of many that the state.. man we have just lost would occupy it, and render it illustrious. He is gone; and the next words which follow upon those of grief for his lose are an in-' quiry, Who is worthy to succeed to his task—his aspirations Mir Court. , WINDSOR, Om. 26.

My Lord,—l have the honour to inform your lord ship that General Mouravieff, with the bulk of his army, at day-dawn this morning, attacked our in trenched position on the heights above Bars, and on the opposite side of the river. The battle lasted, without a moment's intermission, for nearly seven hours, when the enemy WAS driven off in the greatest disorder, with the loss of 2,600 dead, and nearly double that number of wounded, who were, for the most part, carried off by the retreating enemy. Upwards of 4,000 muskets were left on the field. tour lordship can, without a description on my part, imagine the determination of the assailants, and the undaunted courage of the troops who defended the position for so many hours. The Muchir will doubtlessly, at a future moment, bring before his government the =duet of those allows who have distinguished themselves on this day —a day so glorious for the Turkish arms. On my part, I have great gratification in acquaint ing your lordship with the gallant conduct of Lieut.- Colonel Lake, Major Teesdale, and Captain Thompson, who rendered the most important service in defending the redoubts of Veil Pasha Tabia, T■hmasb Table, and Arap Take. I beg to recommend these officers to your lordship's protection. I also beg to name my secretary, Mr. Churchill, _ _ _ an attache of her Majesty's mission in Persia. He directed the fire of • battery throughout the action, and caused the enemy great loss. I also beg to draw your lordship's attention to the gallant bearing of Messrs. Zobrab and Renaisson, who, u interpreters to Lieutenant-Colonel Lake and - . Major Teesdale, rendered very effective service. Dr. Sandwith has been moat active and efficient in the management of the ambulances and in the hospital arrangements.

A report was sd to-day that the town of Kars had beeq taksq b,' the Russians. Nothing °Mobil has yet trauspised, and it is to be hoped that this news is without any foundation. The last advice', however, state that Kars had been again invested. The Bank of France did not adopt yesterday any new measure; it will await the arrival of the 31st of October before forming any new resolution. The question of transferring the Bourse to the Palace of Industry is now under very serious consideration. Such a change is unquestionably to be deprecated, seeing that the present situation of the Bourse is the centre of business, whilst the Champs Blythe are removed from the oommercial quarter by at least three quarters of an hour's walk. Nevertheless such a project is under consideration, and has been submitted to the administrative depart ment of the city of Paris. It is also affirmed that, it is contemplated to transform the actual Bourse into a barrack, a transformation for which the present time considered very favourable. The opinion that Prince Getchakoff contemplates either riskiug a decisive battle or evacuating the 43rimea is supported at Berlin by various letters, from Bt. Petersburg, which the Journal de la Bourse belong to emanate from a good source. The Res- Ass General had, it is said, sought instructions hos the Emperor ; but the Czar had postponed any densi ties' resolution until after the return of the two per. sons deputed by him to go and ascertain the actual state of things, and to report to him on the subject. At Turin, the re-establishment of the health of the Mug is complete. It is asserted that the journey of Meje.ty to Paris end London will take place to wnie the 30. h of November. M.
