LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1A Sort of our readers were probably surprised, or even perplexed, at the column of extracts from trans- Atlantic newspapers which appeared in our paper of the 16th inst. That the news of the fall of Sebas topol should have been received with enthusiasm in Canada, is surprising to nobody. Not only is the very ems of loyalty always to be found in a loyal colony (and there is no colony more loyal than Canada), bat the Canadians have earned for themselves the pdvi loges of the strongest sympathy in the great eases by their noble contributions of money and offers of men. But the excitement in the United States must be un intelligible to Englishmen who have paid no parti cular attention to American affairs of late, and still MOM to those who have tried to uoderstand American affairs from a distant*, without having opportunities of close and immediate observation of the foreign relations of the United States. It will not need a long discourse to show why there is so strange a re vulsion of feeling in the American cities on hearing of the fall of Sebastopol, and especially why the emotion of surprise appears to be so strong as it is. The New York Herold, the pro slavery and anti bemired*a paper, and therefore the paper which hes booked the Curt throughout the conflict, gives its account of the rejoicings in the briefest space, ascribing the jubilations, by implication, to the pre- NOM of English and French merchants, and to the free see of champagne on the occasion. The New York Thwes imam an article which is highly sug gestive to those who would understand American feeling on this occasion. It gives an account of the Ramis of twe years since, which it evidently supposes to be unquestionable; and that amount represents Russia as " the most powerful and isfluential go vernment in Strops." " Its navy," we are told, " constructed on the moat stupendous and approved smile, crowded the Baltic, and ma- Ecouvred within the horizon of Constantinople. Its armies amounted to a million of well disciplined and provided troops. The art of fortification was reputed to have achieved its utmost in defending every approachable point on the coast. No treasury was mare plethoric--so credit so dear to capitalists. Its external commerce of export and import was moue; and the progress of internal development rapid and magnificent." In this style the paper peaces& ; but we have quoted enough to show what notions are entertained in the Met enlightened part of the United States about the finances, the commerce, and the civilisation of Ramis. The existence*, such notions may account for the excessive surprise occa sioned by the fall of Sebastopol. Is the prevalence of such a view of Russian supremacy we find a con firmation of expositions that we have gives from time to time of the policy of the Caere in regard to the United Stake. The Americans have hitherto believed that they knew more about Russia than any other people, be cause they have more Russians among them. In feet, Realism swarm ia all the States, sad especi ally in the most enlighteaed, which take the lead in polities, and in the Slave States of the first rank, whose pi:Sealer hoodoo it is to keep is cheek the constitutional republicanism of the North, and who amass themselves, in the intervals of business, with planning the separation of Canada (with its twenty thousand of fugitive slaves and their progeny) from England, and its annexation to the States. To such listeners Russians (some tithes the CZAR'S "own correspondents") talk constantly and effectively of Russian greatness, influence, weelth, civilisation, and so forth. They now and than direct the steps of young Americans, sager to travel before settling in life, to St. Petersburg, where they some how happen to see the CLIII, and to be enchanted by the confidences of the Euratom and the undies tithe Princesses. They see a few sights, selected for them by the CZAR himself, and hear what suits hie purpose of his resources, and his position among the nations. These travellers, and his own agents in the States, send him valuable men—engineers, surgeons, com mercial captains, and others—every one of whom is bound to justify his acceptance of office by praise of his new country and employer, at the same time that his countrymen are eager to believe the most flourish ing amounts he can send, because their natural vanity in their youthful republic is gratified by the notice and flattery of the nighty Muscovy which fllis now so large a space in the maps of the world. Till Sebastopol fell, the scheme answered weeder folly well. The Amerkass did not and Gould not deny, any more than the Nets reek Doily Tina does now, that the aim of the Cure was to absorb Turkey ; but they regarded it mach se they regard their own annexations, the policy and method of which, indeed, they might seem to have learned from Ramis. They appear hardly to have doubted for a moment that Russia wee rare of having all bar own way; and the perpetual influx of Remiss accounts of the war seems to have blinded them to the truth, till it could be kept back no longer. The unrelieved adversity of the Russians oe the Danube was bet upon them, while their advance into the Dobradscha was regarded almost as a oonqueet. The American papers treated the bombardment of Odessa ins a ems pamioaate tone, se a failure of the Allies; and were beginning to pity them for attempting Bolnanand, when oar mean there convinced them that Bomar sand was of no consequent,. to Ramis. hie not much to be wondered at that they found it bard to believe in the French and English alliance, or in the reality of French championship of national rights and European liberties, while FMK* henalt hn ae rights or liberties to boast of within Ye etes baba As we have observed, their own eatieed pdhv rat territorial aggrandiseessat weld sot but liege deb feelings to that of the Cum.

Certainly there ars. The Withal facts of the ease prove the eadeasuir.sad the salsa 'OW points to the oiliest.

Inseal man in Europe. During the agitations in Germany and Italy in 1819 and 1820, the Otero Asatrormy we roused and aggravated by Rus sian Mame. Daring the Frenoh revolution Ir _ _ - 1811 and the suppression of Poland the year aape, the nullification struggle was going an is the United States. Daring the European cop ilots of 1848 and 1849, the Americans were passing thsktihsitive Slave Bill, and letting their Constitu tion hewer-ridden by their own deepots of the South M thermeghly as that of Poland washy the great po tentate of the North. Finally, while the Eastern ques tion was reaching its crisis, the Nebraska Bill occu pied the politicians and the public of the United States; and now it is becoming more and more dear every day that the Americans cannot aid any Mod some abroad till they have settled those &e -litism about slavery at home which the Ours keep One for their own purposes among a people who should be by this time perceiving what tools they are made by the most anti-republican power on earth. The Curs have other objects too. The coroner dal abilities and accomplishments of the Americans are valuable to Russia. At this time, Reeds has not ealy bought up all the saltpetre in the United States, bat all that there will be for some time to oome. Asert and ammunition from America are bows to have been smuggled in all round her fron tier. It is important to Russia to obtain captains of industry from America, in proportion to her difficul ties in obtaining them from other free countries. Reagan territory in the other hemisphere is separated from British by only an arbitrary line, below which it is separated only by Oregon from American terri tory. The desire of the Southern States foe the acquisition of Canada is a ground of strong sympathy between the slave-holders and the great serf-owner. It is true, the sympathy most end in collision, sooner or later; and the stronger is therefore the reseal why the Czars should keep the Americans on their side as long as possible. There are other explanations than these of the trouble taken by Russia to propitiate the Americans, and keep them at the Resides point of view of the war; but those which we have given will serve as well as more to set our readers thinking. Not a few wise and patriotic Americans see thumb the whole scheme, and duly appreciate the grime of it. As for the rest—the interested, the ignorant, the careless, and the vain—they roust be roomed by the event of the campaign, and may have their eyes opened, if they wish for light. Meantime, these con siderations may account for the astonishment of oar transatlantic, cousins at a catastrophe which most people imagined they had been expecting for • twelveincoth. Now that they find that the Russians can give ground, their best friends will hope that tbsir will Ink bask two years, so as to convince theaselves that the R.1•11111011have never won a battle, Thus the Tanks alone or from the Allies; and es far ihreesed se to determine, free front Russian bin, width di is the quarrel should command the sympathies et a republic of strong democratic pew tensions. THE HEROES OF BARB. We paid, yesterday, a brief and inadequate tribute to General WI ores, for his services at Kars. We have now the pleasure of adding the names of the General's gallant and efficient staff. His &Wade oamp is Captain TEESDALE. lie has also been most ably supported by Colonel LAX; of the Madras En &sere, and Captain THOMPSON, of the 68th Bengal Native Infantry. All three are young men. Captain THOMPSON was severely wounded in the arm, in the Burmese war, and returned home upon sick leave. Bat his eagerness to serve his country induced him to volun teer for the East before his wound was entirely cured. He has gone through the arduousdefenceof Bars with his arm in a sling. This is the true metal of which British soldiers are made. The privations suffered by 1 1 the garrison of Ears have been great ; our gallant countrymen learned to regard horse-flesh and cat's flesh as "dainty fare." They speak in the highest terms of the qualities of the Turkish soldier when rightly ellicend. The Muchir and General Wu.- tuns are on the best terms. As for the Pachas they have the good sense to keep quiet is their tents, smoking, and declaring that their trust is in GOD and the English officers. ant Court. WINDSOR, Oce.lB. IRST FROM ABROAD.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (rsott ova owm PARIS, TZIIIIIDAT Imam. The financial crisis at Paris matinees. Many failures are expected to occur, and mention is already made of a great banking house at Nancy which will be obliged to suspend payment. Nancy has hitherto enjoyed a very excellent reputation u a commercial town, and this statesosat is in consequenee very serious. The Bank Directors have had a meeting to-day, l land it is affirmed that they have resolved to raise the rate of discount to 8 per mut., and to take bills of exchange at 90 days' date. It is said, moreover, that the Directors have adopted a resolution not to kind mom than 20 per cont. upon railway shares, which will have the effect of almost abolishing this kind of loans, inasmuch as no one will be contested with receiving upon 80,000 fr. cfactione the sum of 10,0006.

The dates are those given in the Express of yesterday. The following is from the summary of the Bombay Times of Sept. 11: The Santhal insurrection has nearly died oat. The insurgents continue to spread over the country, but outrages have ceased. lodia is tranquil throughout. The Ava Embassy proceeds auspiciously. A favour able fall of rain promises to avert the apprehended famine, and limit the calamity to a scarcity. Trade is dull, and freights are low, almost beyond pre cedent. The most gratifying intelligence of the past fort night is the improvement in the state of weather; if the fall of rain at Bombay has been general, we shall probably be relieved of the soourge of famine—scarcity and dearth are inevitable. We can not look for anything like an average crop ; but the pressure will, we trust, atop abort of starvation. The Smiths' Insurrection is not yet entirely subdued, the insurgents are still scattered over the country, but the outrages with which their career commenced have in a great measure ended. The hope of super natural aid has failed them. Their leader has been captured. Seven thousand of thou engaged In the outbreak have surrendered. They find that their bows and arrows have not the slightest chance against our musketry, and that any mesa of them how ever large, is scattered by any detachment of oar troops however small. As the movement has thus become as objectless as it is impotent, as the malcontents are without a guide or a purpose, and as they find themselves shot down or made prisoners whenever they are overtaken, all idea of serious danger from them has ceased. They are said to be endeavouring to emigrate with their families deeper into the mountain., in hopes of finding a place of refuge so remote thatjustice will not reach them. Their re cent outrages cannot be overlooked, and the plan formerly hinted at of deporting them wholesale to British Burmah seems very likely to be fallen back upoc.—We have heard of no disturbance since our last on the North-West Frostier, and though we can expect to be wholly free of outrages on the highland line, these promise speedily to become re duced to petty raids and isolated lilting., universal wherever a rich lowland stretches up to the base of barren and impenetrable montaina.—The dissentients in Oude have become suddenly reconciled, under the apprehension of immediate annexation, awakened by the appearance of the Military Secretary to the Governor-General on a special mission to the Resi dent. The commotion was temporary and unex pected; its continuance or extension might have hastened the crisis, which is not averted by its disappearance.—ln British Burmah everything seems tranquil, the usual emerge of the prisoners working out of doors under a guard scarcely forming an exception. The Embassy proceeds auspiciously on its way to Ava, experiencing the warmest welcome as it advance,. Apprehensions seem to be entertained by the natives that the Golden Foot may decline what is desired of him, and hostilities be resumed. His Majesty luckily is not misled by the eloquence of the peace party in England, for the excellent reason that he is ignorant of its existence, and is perfectly aware, from what he has seen, that when our troops next take the field, Burmah, to its utmost boundary, become. a British province.—We have the usual disturbances in the Nizam's dominions, though scarcely to the customary extent.—The chief fighting in India is kept for the cold weather.— There has been a trifling outbreak in the Rewa Ceuta, a province belonging to the Guioowar, be tween a couple of rival sects of Mahomedans. The Political Agent, Major Wallace, to avert bloodshed, called out a couple of guns and 370 men from Ba rods, and the approach of such a force as this is likely to prevent further mischief.—We noticed in our last the caution the Court of Directors had found it necessary to promulgate in reference to an establishment called the " London and Eastern Bank," which claims to be established by a special Royal Charter, its shareholders enjoying limited liability. Both claims prove to be purely imaginary, the bank is registered, se all English Joint Stock Banks are required to be, under the Act of 7 and 8 Victoria, and in this sense, but no other, is a Corporation. The Act in question specially provides for the u limited liability of all the share.' holders. The Bank seems to admit the claim set forth, in the advertisement to be groundless, the excuse is that this was an inadvertence. The Court of Directors have seen their servants so frightfuily plundered by similar inadvertencies, that they did no more than their duty in pointing out that the claims of the B►nk to spec►al privileges were fictitious. Should mischief hereafter accrue to parties supporting the e3tablisliment, they will have themselves to thank for it, after the warning the India House has given them.—Mr.Marebmao. the founder of the Biased of /tans, which for twenty years he conducted with 'him most eminent success, has retired for good, with an ample fortune, and will in all probability soon occupy a public position at home.—Active movements hays of late taken place in the Parsee community, with a view to the improvement of the laws and institutions of the caste, making them more worthy than they have hitherto been of the position the most energetic body of our natives enjoy. Their clergy have set them- selves against all reform. When the church, stand ing on the frail foundations of the traditions of a thousand years, sets itself up against the whole bey of the population, acting under the enlightenment of the hour, it is not difficult to see how the struggle will end.—The government arrangements foe the establishment of a museum are now completed, the buildings are being prepared, and specimens are being oollected ander the charge of a oom mines consisting of Dr. Impey, Chairman ; Pro- fessor Fraser; Professor Sinclair; Mr. W. F. Hunter; and Dr. Buie, Secretary and Curator. It is hoped that the public may be admitted by Christmas.—The Governor-General is understood to visit Burmah on his return to Calcutta, and to remain with u till February ; Lord Harris is on the Neilgberriee with Lord Dalhouie ; Lord Elpbinstone is at Bombay.— Trade is in a very depressed state, and freights have still further gone down.

The Indian Mail brings the intelligence that an attempt has been made on the life of Sir Henry Ward, the Governor of Ceylon, by a Cingalese, who is represented by the local papers to be a wild-look ing wretch, the very tout ensemble of a ruffian, who would use the knife without the slightest compute tioa. He had been known for many years u a no torious thief ; he was originally employed as a can teen man in the barracks, but bis thieving propensi ties and evil disposition shut him out from any further employment. The particulars of the attempt are thus given : Kim Hate Ward, about gun fire on the morning of the 7th of September, hearing a noise in her room, when she and her sister deep, perceived a man bolting her door on the inside. Ile remained there some little time, examining the things on the dressing table, and about the room. When he left the room, Miss Ward made an alarm, on whisk the man pinked op a knife, and after threetesing her, hastened along the passage, passing the Governor's room, jest as his Ikeelleney was coming out, alarmed by the noise. The Governor, armed with a Colt and &stick, pursued Wallowa the passage into the drawing-room, and on sowing up to him, the man tarred round sed same at him with the knife. The °overate then fired at him, and, not wishing to kill him, shot him through the , shoulder, and afterwards kept him at bay, until he wan eveataally mind by the Pates, net, however, until be had wounded two of them with the knife; a null table one, belonging to the house, and which ha picked up i• passage leading to the bedrooms. He only took a ske e t used as a table cover, which he found in the passage, sad, towel, and from his behaviour seem, to be me te madman than • thief. Had the Governor not beg armed with a pistol, the consequences might have hi ll very serious. He never spoke a word all the um,. The man, who is now in the hospital, bu two wounds se the lower put of the neck on the left side. These de ak oonintunicate, so far as the medical men have been able ascertain.

From the Melbourne Argus of July 201--4 week later than previous advioes—we glean the following intelligence, condensed from a very lengthy ea detailed review of the progress and present condition of the colony.

Several new discoveries and their rapid introduction, with ham results, are noted. Of population, the returns at the close of the halfiese summed it up at 306,688, from which time to July 14, tyre weeks, 2,637 had been the increase.

On the subject of postal communication (says the drys) the people of Australia feel that they have bun mum. sully aggrieved by the home government. Although the reports of cruse bad been humbly beta and disgusting, it was on the decrease. Measures lathe amelioration of social condition were in progress, and se soon as the pecuniary resources should be partially relieved spirited efforts to open up the country sad den. lop its resources were expected.
