Tits premature death of Sir William MO La. wows leaves a void among our publio an that win act easily be filled sp. Is the Cabinet Sir Wl:Luau's presses@ has been little felt; and in Parliament be attracted Wm notice than may pretentious indivi duals of thithitely inferior qualifications. But all who have studied the deeper workings of our politi sal system since 1830 will be ready to acknowledge the important and enduring swims which he has rendered to his country. His was one of thane telleete—too rare among our public men—which 'Abair to grasp the science of politics as a whole, and subject every particular principle, and its bearing upon the rest, to the scrutiny of a stern and searching login. About the time that the Reform Bill became law, there was among the @spi rants to Parliamentary humours a not very nume rous but accomplished highrited band of young MO, who sympathised and co-operated with Sir WitLiast. They had hear mere or less trained in the school of Bitirrinet and MILL, though they by no mesas eubseribed to all its meets with a blind sad implicit faith. They :were for the most part elegant scholars and macerate reasoner& One by ono they have dropped away. Some, like Mr. Gaon, have 'lsnot from the rode conflicts of practical politics, and devoted themselves to the promotion of enlight enment by their labotin as recluse students. Some have been reft from us by death. Too large a pro portion have had their generous aspirations dulled end deadened by the practices of Arial life, Sir WILLIAM mad Mr. Round, perhaps Mr. Cam= Vituna —for we have never been accustomed to regard him as ass of the clam we anode to, although pommelled or many of their best qualities—alone remained usenspromisingly true to the principles of their youth, and now Mr. Annum is left alone. It is not our object to write a biography of SirWthrux Mom wow= ; we can only hurriedly indicate sows of his most prominent services. His talent for conducting Bayless and impartial investigation was shown is the part be took in the inquiry into the Orange Lodges; his philosophical grasp of mind, in his expoeure of the system of penal transportation, and in his labours to promote systematic colonimatioa. As as advocate of free trade, of extended reforms in our electoral and administrative thetitatioee, of a more rational and coherent system of international law, he was unser pissed smog his contemporaries for the comprehen dresses, the perspicuity, and the logical sequence of his views. His labours ia the liberal sans were not weaned to the spasmodic efforts of the Legislature or the hustings. The munificent editor of the rely complete edition of the works of Bosnia, and the zealous co-operator in the attempt to establish a philosophical Quarterly Review, inde pendent of sect or party, conferred lasting benefits on our national literature. As a man of action he was lees seeessidul than as a pioneer of liberal opinion. This may be attributed in part to the constitution of his mind, in which the reflecting overbalanced the active faculties; partly to habits of literary indolence apt to beset an intellectual man born to the inherit ance of a large fortune. Bat while he lived we had one who moved among the men of maven tioosl rank on a footing of recognised equality, and compelled them to tolerate the avowal of opinions • which they affect to scorn as those of mere abstract thinkers among the unprivileged classes. By Sir Wazures fearless and consistent avowal of their principles, the " philosophical" or "educated Radi os*" as they have been Galled, were materially aided in keeping their ground against the supercilious dis like ef the privileged classes, sad the imperfect sym pathies of the numerous class of Liberals whose Liberalism is more a matter of sentiment, or accidental social position, than of deliberate esevistion based upon extensive inquiry. Of Cornish lineage, Sir Wituart, while he yet moved among as, was a living proof that the districts of Ragland which gave birth to the Itautioss and Camara of old have not degenerated. And yet when we look back to his parents we are strangely tempted to regard him as &justification of the popular prejudice that men of genius most frequently inherit their distinguishing qualities from their mother& It would be easy to say mere of the lameated Is. foamed if we felt his loss less hastily. This vely adequate tribute is all we can pay at present toe sue who will be most profoundly and enduringly regretted by those who had the high privilege to know him most intimately. :bt Court.

The Austria's Gautie, after describing the emotion caused at Odessa arrival of the allied fleets, announces es that theco nsular body had addressed the following note to the admirals of the combined fleets : " The presence of the allied fleet in the roadstead of Odessa gives rise to the apprehension of a bom bardment. Consequently, the undersigned, consuls general and consuls, consider it a duty to direot the attention of their excellencies the admirals to the dangers to which a bombardment would expose the lives and property of their respective fellow-country men. The undersigned take the liberty of reminding their excellencies that the town of Odessa gives shelter to a crowd of foreign families, subjects of their sovereigns, and that the greatest part of the moveable and immoveable property belongs to them. They venture, therefore, to hope that their excellencies will exempt the town from the disastrous effects of a bombardment." THE TURKISH CONTINGENT. CONSTANTINOPLE, Ocr. 11. On the Bth inst. a telegraphic despatch arrived at the British embassy at Therapla, ordering the em barkation of the Turkish Contingent to be discon tinued. On the 9th inst. another telegraphic despatch arrived, ordering that portion of the Contingent which still remained in camp near Boyakdere to be held in readiness to proceed to Hertch immediately. We cannot say positively bow many contradictory tele graphic o d es have been received by the commander of the Anglo. Turkish force since the 9th inst. Within the last month be must at least have received fifty despatches from the Crimea or from London,no two of which agree. The Contingent was at first ordered to proceed to Bupatoria. The village of Buyukdere was instantly thrown into the moat violent commo tion. Aides-de-camp galloped frantically up and down the quay, and made their horses plunge and curvet in a way that filled every bosom with delight. Then there was an unearthly sound of trumpets and rattling of drums, and bewildered detach ments of Turkish soldiers poured in from the camp. On board the transports there was a heaving-up of anchors, steam shrieked out of the funnels of steamers, boats came dashing up to the beach, and hoarse voices roared out " to stand by," and "give way with a will." All wee commotion on land and sea. " Tell the men to fall in," says the general to his side-dc csmp. " Dike a les homnses de Comber ;Wane," rays the aide-de•camp to the dragoman, who trans latcs the order literally to the Turks. The him- Nimbi asks the dragoman in a tone of wrath if he wants him to eat dirt, and speaks disrespectfully of the female members of the Tergiman's family. Then a fresh order is given, accompanied by expressive pantomime, and the men fall in, after having fallen out, arid the embarkation begins. When half of the heavy work is done a despatch arrives to say it was all a mistake, and that the Contingent is not to embark at all, but that it will certainly go some where on a future day. The whole of the pageant then dissolves. But the general and his aides-dc • camp give two or three supplementary charges up and down the quay, and then, gracefully waving their hands to the ladies who throng the windows, they too disappear, leaving the world to darkness and itinerant venders of mauhalibee. This atone took place for the first time about six weeks ago. But it seemed as if the representation was to have taken place at Intervals till further orders, for since then the nobility, gentry, and public of Bur*. dere have witnessed very nearly the same perform. anos about three times every week. One day, how ever, the week before last, the performance was con tinued longer than usual. The whole of the First Division was embarked, together with part of the artillery, and they positively sailed for Kerwin. had sanely sailed when the usual despatch arrived to say it was all a mistake, and that the Contingent was not to go to Berta. The counter-order arrived too lets, at boast as far u the First Division was am caned. As is their wont, in all oases of emergency, the general and his aides-de-camp charged up and down the village with the utmost ferocity. In this brilliant affair one of the aides-de-camp was wounded in the shoulder. His horse shied, startled by the sodden cheering of a group of Greek children, end Ehe gallant aide-de-camp was thrown. General Vivian then started for the Crimea, where he had an interview with General Bimpoon. He satnened last Monday,and announced that the whole of tbe Clentingent was to proceed to Kedah, with the exesgdes ef the cavalry t and he had scarcely given this ease when he started for the Dardanelles, to beald-basoulcs. inu r e coneequisse of the positive order given to the Coodspet to proceed to Berta, Commissary-General Adams has very properly made arrangements to snare for the troops at least six months' provisions. A despatch was received the day before yesterday from General Cunningham, who proceeded with the First Divides of the Contingent to Kertch. General Cunningham says, in his report, that be found at Kertch 5,000 French, 4,000 Turks, and 2,000 /English troops. The town is almost entirely in mine. All that remained of the wood used in the oonstrao- GeM of the homes—such as rafters, doom, dos—had bun used by the allied soldiers for firing. The ea dem he describes as decidedly hostile to us, anwill lag. think properly recompensed, to render the smallest armee. All the supplies intended for the Csa meat arrive at Katch before the sth of , at the very latest, as after that date all elemilidos by ma is impossible. No supplies MA be expested hm the inhabitants. Hones and web they refired to hire. The water fur some dis tance from the beach is shallow, and therefore large boats must be provided for landing the troops. Such is the substance of General Cunningham's report. It coincides exactly, not only with the opinion of all the merchants of Constantinople who were logged in the corn trade with Hertel and Taganrog, but also with our own personal expe rience. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (mom ova ovx PARIS, MONDAY Bviurnm. There is no news from the Crimea. We are es sewed, however, that the recent operations of the Allied army have pima the army of Prince Gortolia koff in a very bad position. It is further stated that it would net be able to make a retreat to Perekop, and that the position is which it is placed 's each as to render it impossible for it to accept battle. The in ference drawn from all this that the Russian army will be obliged to lay down its arms within a very short period. The enansisl crisis now engages the attention of every one. The Bank of France has, by a circular letter, summoned those who have deposited with it Rentsr and railway shares, either to give new securi ties, or to reimburses portion of their loans with cash. Much is said about giving forced currency to bank- Dotes ; but the Bank has not yet obtained the consent of the Emperor, who opposes the measure personally, beams he fetus that it would produce a bad effect abroad. His Majesty is not mistaken In this respect. Mach was said after the last loan about the wealth of France—the creation of paper money would be a measure incompatible with that recent representation. ' The following telegraphic despatches have been received today in Perim. " VIENNA, MoIDAT. " A report of the taking of Otehakoff was spread at the Boone to-day.

After having indicated the spirit which should regulate the distribution of the credit, and the help which may be obtained from individual charity, it invitee the prefect, to aid and encJorage all combinations having for their object the mitigation of the temporary dearncla of provi des'.

THE FOOD QUESTION. gees yesterday's Yorker►.) The Yia6Me of the Interior has addressed the blirekte ander to the prefects: lilmaiser le Prat e —ln placing this day at your disposal a part in the credit of ten millions °posed by the Laren' decree of September 22, I at the same the. most remind you of the !thought :which should Ode you in the employment of it. •As soon u the small yield of the harvest betuune known, the Emperor instantly ordained all the! amosares which might alleviate the calamity. By his orders the prohibition on the export of own, bock wheat, seise, potatoes, and chestnuts was renewed, and not one of then products of our soil can at this moment, even is the smallest quantity, I I be withdrawn from French consumption. The die- filiation of grains hes been prohibited. The cereals of our Algeria are exclusively reserved for as ; the most complete security has been guaranteed to sone acorn, which demands of the foreign markets their corn and flour for distribution amongst ours. Every possible favour has been granted to these imports- time, and to the navigation which realises them. The railway tariffs for the conveyance of corn to the interior have been reduced. Severe measures are prescribed against any stock-jobbers attempting le create a fraudulent rise in the rural Aisedasa, l a a word, whatever was possible hen ben drift mid the complement secemary for our consamption of a year will assuredly be found in the corn arriving every day from abroad, and also i• the altundsace of enr accessory melts of potatoes, buckwheat, mine, &a. “ Bat while thus engaged in snaring the gamed provisioning of the country, the Emperor has opseially remembered that numerous part of the population which oa!y lives on the toil of each day; be has wished to multiply the works in their behalf, and when the wages were not in proportion to the temporary dearness of the necessaries of life, to elicit the beneficent organisation of a helping fond. It is with this twofold object that the credit of ten goillifilmhas bOa *nod, the dinftibutiek otithich fospis tbs subject d this circular. In orderAadbtain a fruittid employmsut of the portion acitandeg to your Aspertutentt I Monsieur Is irrefet, your ,seal will be requisite, all your influence, all your activity. You will not fix in an absolute manner the 000tingent of each commune in proportion to the sacrifices that it might itself be able to make; that would be to deprive of amour the poor or exhausted communes, that is to say, those who 'stand most in need of it; yet you will actively roues the municipal councils, and you will keep an account of their effort& Yon will also make an ur gent appeal to private charity; it forms in France an inexhaustible treasure. Yon will visit in person the communes; you will plan yourself in communication with every person whose devotion may be willing to second your own; you will give an im pulse to every work capable of being usefully organised ; you will aid and give rise to, in case of need, every combination (bread-doles, cards of dif ferences, economical ovens, societies for the diatribe'. dim of food, &c.) which an lighten for the labouring I 'lanes the transitory dearness of provisions. In seeing you thus employed, and with you all worthy mew, the people at large will perceive how actively and efficaciously the Emperor is occupied with their wants. They will comprehend that if the abundance; of the harvests depends solely on God, those who suffer from their inadequacy are at least sustained and assisted by a government animated by a really paternal anxiety in their behalf. If, notwith standing your efforts, a few agitators should endea vour, for the sake of their own passions or folly, to work on the sufferings of the people, repeat to the working classes that agitation and disorder would not add one single grain of oorn to the harvest, but would strike a quick and serious blow at contldenoe, labour, and merely aggravate their misery; then, while lavishing on them both help and good advice, make them understand that they have an evident interest in repelling the fomenters of disorder, and strike these last-named with immediate and severe repression. They must not forget that the Emperor. who is doing for Pram no many great and glorious things, will know well at the same time how to main tain that calm and tranquillity which his energetic will restored to us. _ _ _ ..............__ __ _ "In the performance of the unions duties which the situation imposes on you, I ask of you, Monsieur le hoist, sustained seal, resolution, and a vigorous initiative.

THE BALTIC. STOCKHOLM, Oar. 16. Although the public feeling in Sweden with respect to the war has been so unequivocally shown by the illuminations, banquets, rejoicings, and other demon strations of an unmistakeable nature in every town and almost every village of this kingdom, it is asto nishing with what tenacity the government—Or rather the King, for in spite of the free constitution the ministers are but the working puppets of the King's will—seek to bolster up the unnatural state of neutrality in which we are ingloriously here killing time whilst we ought to be more actively engaged in taking a glorious pert in the contest of civilisation against barbarism, which, however, every on. sees cannot be maintained much longer, and that at all events next yesr we must also let loose the dogs of war. It was considered by France and England highly desirable that a part of the allied squadrons should winter in some Scandinavian port, in order to be near the field of action early in the spring, and the island of Gothland wu fixed on for the purpose. Permission was asked of the K.ng of Sweden to put this plan in execution, bat he has negatived it in the most unqualified manner, even at the risk of disturb ing the good understanding existing between him sod the Western Powers. During the late mission of Count Hand Bond's to Paris the negotiations were again opened on the subject, but led to no result, owing to the obstinacy with which the King has set has mind upon maintaining his neutrality. In the meantime we learn from the Finland papers and letters that, late es the season is, the blockading squadron are uninterruptedly engaged in fulfilling the objects of their mission. Thus every day the poor Finlanders, thinking the enemy have withdrawn their sh;ps, rig and bring forth from their secure aiding-places their merchant vessels, an they did last year, to make a voyage or two across the Gulf to a Swedish port before the winter sets in, and invariably run into the arms of their enemy. In this manner upwards of 20 sail of vessels have been captured in three days. On the same authority we learn moreover the pit deniers of rather a serious affair that took place at Bjorko, which received a hostile visit from a frigate and a couple of gunboats (names and date not given). After bombarding the town for a whole day, says the Russian account, and kncckiog everything to pieces, dispersing in all directions the Finland sharpshooters and driving a say the Kron-Vogts or crown anthn rides, the frigate and a gunboat came into the bar bour, where they cut out all the shipping, carrying off as prizes twelve of the largest and best vessels, and destroying the rest. Accordtog to the Finland itilmattints Tidning, Sweaborg is now the scene of great activity, for the damage received by the late bombardment is being evetywhere repaired, and new works are being con structed in those parts which experience has proved were mcst weakly defended. It is generally expected that next year the Baltic all be the principal scene of operations on the part of the Allies, and everywhere steps are being taken to give theme warm reception. From our frontier town of Haparanda we learn that they have received a visit from the Firefly, and a low days later from the Odio, in connexion with the smuggling trade which is still actively carried on across the frontiers by unprincipled merchants and Finnish houses. The Odin had swept the coast and esptured a good many Russian prizes, some of them with cargo. The winter had set in there with great severity, and folly three weeks earlier than last year. On Saturday last the king gave an audience at the Palace of Drottningholm to the Spanish minister resident, Don Moreno y Landabutu, to receive from his hands a letter from the Queen of Spain, acquaint ing him of the Crown Prince's being created a Knight of the Golden Fleece, and begging the king to invest him with the collar and insignia of the order, which was immediately done in the presence of the ambas sador, who waft invited to dine at the royal table the Batas day. HELIGOLAND. HELIGOLAND. Ocr. 19. The sum of 40,0001. in sovereigns was landed here ls•t week from the steamer Newcastle, from England after which she proceeded on her voyage to Tanning. The islanders now hope that no further delay will 1 • made in paying them the value of their potato land, tsken from them to build the wooden barracks on for the German Legion, and arbitrarily fixed at a Fanny per square foot. Her Majesty's steam transport Perseverance, which has been sent to the Baltic with a number of Russian pt;soners exchanged, having performed this service, hes arrived here, for the purpose of embarking about 500 men of the German Legion, for conveyance to England. The embarkation will probably take place to-morrow. There appears to be some hitch about the comple tion of our new water filtrating machine. The works are stopr,d, and it is scarcely likely to bs finished and set at work before the commencement of the winter. SYDNEY, JIILT Is. We have at this moment a double opportunity of , communicating with England, by the Walter Hood, i a favourite clipper, which has established her fame es a fast sailer, and the Marco Polo, of equal cele brity. The former sails to-day direct for London ; • 'ie latter is at Melbourne, awaiting a mail from Sydney, to be forwarded a few dais hence. Nume rous bets are made as to which ship will arrive home first. ' In so:oedema with the recommendation of Sir William Denison, in his recent spc .?ch on opening the session of the Legislative Council of New South Wales, several important measures are before the house, one of which is a proposal to borrow a sum of two millions, on the credit of the territorial revenue, for the construction of railways; and in connexion with this object it is intended to engage a competent person to undertake the general direction of the colonial railways, at a salary of 1,2001. to 1,4001. per annum. The operations of our new Mint (that "expensive toy," as it has been rightly termed by a member of the Legislative Council, for it has already cost near upon 100,0001) have commenced by the issue of some thousands of sovereigns of native growth and coinage. As colonial bank notes pass as readily as gold, and English gold coin is in no lack here, Feople reason ably ask in what consists the benefit of the colonial coinage, and if 50,0001. for the new buildings and some 20,0001. per annum more in salaries is not pay ing dearly for our whistle. In order to meet the increased expenditure, in a state of public revenue nearly on a balance as to Dr. and Cr., an alteration of the Customs tariff is contem plated. The import duty on tobacco is to be increased to the extent of 50 per cent.; upon the other articles of the present tariff the increase is 100 per cent., with the exception of dried fruits—in these the present duty is id. per lb., end this it is proposed to raise to 2d. The articles that have been added to the tariff are es% vinegar, soap, oandler, and timber. Upon salt the duty is put at 2s. per cwt.; on 'Aurorae, is. per gallon; on soap, 4s. per cwt.; on candles, 2d. pr lb.; on timber, in bulk or sawn, 2s. per 100 cubic fat; on shingle 3 and laths, 2s. per 1,000. Publicans' licenses are to be increased in the annual fee from 301. to SOL ; night and billiard licenses are to be doubled; and, as some protection to the publican against the interferona of the wholesale dealer in spirits, a fee of 301. is to be imposed upon the license issued to the latter. Operations in the articles affected by the new tariff have constituted the principal business transactions of the last month. The warehouses are still labour ing under a plethora of English goods, which find vent but slowly, and at prices that in most instances barely °over freight and other charges. The Bev. Dr. lone (a dissenting minister, member of the Case of Bargees', and a member of the Legislative Cowell) has been sentenced to Biz _oath' imprisonment, fora libel on Mr. Stuart, manager d the Union Bank of Australia. In my last I mentioned the fact that man gy pes t heretofore engaged in the search for gold had ai m . domed that object for the equally remunerative and beneficial pursuit of cultivating the soil. It is no left worthy of remark that the vast congregation of per, sons at the places of auriferous deposit has so entirely changed the appearance of these localities, that where, only five or six years ago, nature reigned in tinei, tive solitude amid scrub, and bush, and rock, the habitation of the kangaroo and emu, towns sad ni. loges of no mean pretension have risen up es by g i enchanter's wand. Ballarat, instead of being only a gold field, is become a city of some magnitude, with roomy warehouses, costly shops with plej el j an windows, taverns, churches, chapels, theatres, sad assembly rooms ; and last, not least, a gna t* school, in connexion with the church, for boys of the better class, fitting instruction being given to lee k of the youth as can be made available for the a o i n Ballarat promisee to become the capital of the dig. ging*, and is to have its representatives in thele g j a . lative Council. The decencies as well as the comforts of life are observed with marked improvement, sed, moreover, the dead are no longer to remain se. buried, their bones blanching in some galley or bash, but have the rites of Christian burial. A notice was posted at the Hall of Com Melbourne, on the 21st alt., stating that a splendid gold nugget, weighing 1,060 ounces, and vslotd at 4,8001., had been found at Blackman'. Lead, Mary. borough. It was taken from a depth of only 6 bee, in a spot which had been abandoned as worked out, The fortunate discovery caused a rush to the plea. and other nuggets, of 1511 a. and 45 ounces, have since been found there. Notwithstanding the general prosperity of them colonies, many immigrants who have left their esfive country in the hope of bettering their csndition are in a state of most deplorable destitution at Melbourne. They are almost wholly persons unskilled either is agriculture or the mechanical arts, and consist chiefly of clerks, shopmen, tutors, &0., of which classes many more have arrived out than can obtain emplolment. In numerous instances these unfortunates have been found dying in hovels unfit for human habitation; in tome cues the destitute and sick father hie been compelled to witness his wife or children, hitherto unused to hardship, resorting to repulsive expedient s , such as collecting rags and bones, or implori ng charity, in order to raise the means of keeping body sod soul together. Their privations in a toreign land, where they were led to expect competence, if not affluence, are rendered the more acute and gain. ful by the memory of home comforts unwisely and too hr.tily quitted. It is to be hoped that the deplo. rable state of these poor aliens will have the effect of deterring all persons but mechanics and field abate+. era from seeking employ in these colonies, nolem the, are bound for the gold fields. Miss Catherine Bayes (who has returned to Australia from India) has kindly riven a concert at Melbourne for the relief of the distressed immigrants, which realised nearly 4001. A subscription is also being raised for their relief. At Geelong, as at Melbourne, the rush of immi. grants not required is Australia to the extent sup. plied has caused severe distress to the unemployed. The term is new in colonies which will not be deafly populated for a century to come; but it ii evident that brawny arms and manual toil are eke demanded for the work to lie performed. halloo tual culture and the luxuries of life are in the dis. tance. The inhabitants of Geelong have matte ' originate a fund for the relief of the existing dishes On the sth insr, two men who were convicted of murder at the last sittings of the Sydney criminal Court were executed at the gaol. In pursuance ot recent act of the Legislative Council the awful one• mony took place in the prison yard, in presages d l the sheriff and other authorities. One of the mile. I factors, named Wilcox, was found guilty of the I murder of a woman with whom he cohabited, sad t whose throat he cut whilst he was under the inflame of drink. The other (Rogers) was the perpetrator of one of the most atrocious murders ever recorded in r the annals of crime. Whilst accompanying his victim I home to Parramatta from Sydney market he robbed • him, dashed his braise out, and then hid the body is the bush, where it was found the following morning. The wretched man acknowledged his guilt, endued that the love of drink had brought him to the • gallows. TANIANIA.—On the 26th ult. four men wet hanged in front of Ilobarton Owl. On the scaffold one of them (Whelan) confessed the crime of whisk he had been convicted, vie., the murder of three gentlemen, Messrs. Omen, Dunn, and Axford, for the discovery of whose remains large rewards had bees offered without effect. Not only did this hardened ruffian state all the particulars as to the way in while the horrible crime was committed, but stated when he had hid the bodies ; and they have since besa found there in a state of revolting decomposition. It appears to have been his practice to stop his viebas on the road, to compel them by threats to go a short distance into the bosh, and then to shoot than. According to his dying avowal he had murdered two other persons after robbing them. LATER FROM THE UNITED STATES. Or TELEGRAPH TO HALIFAX.) NEW TORT, Ocr. j!.
