This is a mere rumour, and its truth or falsity will be decided in a very few days. The weather which has prevailed lately has been so bad as almost to preclude the possibility if moving artillery. Rain fell heavily angular shape also rise out of the tops of more than three fourths of the entire graves within the ceme tery ; those which have them not being surmounted by green or whits marble ones in stead. Broken pillars, vases, sarcophagi, and all the other usual forms of sepulchral monument, are thickly scattered over the place, and serve, with the interclurtering trees, to complete the prettiest picture of graveyard scenery I have seen anywhere in the East. But even this beautiful and consecrated spot has not escaped the destruction which the siege and its operations have brought upon everything in and around the captured town. Crosses, tombstones, and monumental sculptures lie around on all hands, overthrown and shattered by shot and shell, which in this instance, however, mast have come from friendly guns. During the earlier op ations of the siege this valley lay in front of the French batteries, and received whatever shot and shell from the town fell short of the French works, whilst lat terly it caught those which were aimed at, but passed over, the adeaseed batteries which our allies had thrown up between it and the defending redoubts. Thus, in either case, its present battered condition is attributable to Russian guns. The church itself is a small rectangular buildiug of about forty feet by fifteen, and over its northern (altar) ead rises a small well-proportioned dome, painted geese on the outside, like all the Russo-Greek churches. 'sad surmounted by a large gilt ball and cross. At the opposite extremity is the entrance porch, rap , parted by a simple row of white columns, which are carried round each of the two adjacent corners of the building for about ten feet. Through the centre of this rises a square bell-tower, from which again springs a graceful needle-like spire painted a bright green, like the dome behind, and,like it too, terminat ing in a golden ball and cross. Each of the side walls, I may add, ispieroed with four windows andan entrance door in the centre, and the whole is roofed in with sheet lead or iron, painted of the same sacred colour se the cupola and spire. Su much for the exterior of the building. Its interior, I need hardly remark, has long ago been rifled and stripped of everything which French rapacity could covet, or French vio lence remove. Even of the very fleeting planks, some have been ;torn up and carried away ; whilst every altar fitting, or other piece of fixed or moveable furniture, has shared the same fate. The very doors have been wrenched off their hinges, and borne away by plundering Zouaves, Chusseurs, or other drilled 'Vandals of the Ar• wee d'Orient, in whom the instinct of pillage had extinguished every spark of reverence for the temples of a faith which differs but little from their own. The walls are covered with frescoes of saints, angels, and other the usual subjects of ecclesiastical decoration, over and between which are scrawled in chalk the names of French visitors, and other in scriptions as destitute of the intended wit as of com mon decency. On the wall of the large semi-oircular recess which formed the altar, is a very fine fresco painting of the Crucifixion ; but even it had not escaped the des cration with which the mitred members of the canon had been defaced, names and jeux tresprit being in like manner traced all over its rarity well painted surface. Above this, where :he wall curves towards the roof, a group, representing a throned Jehovah, surrounded by crowned apostles and martyrs, has been more fortunate; but it owes its escape, I am confident, rather to its elevation than to any respectful consideration on the part of those who have defaced and desecrated all within tench below. Even while I was in the build ing a couple of red-breeched Goths were tugging away at a solitary window-frame, which had pro bably not been thought worth the trouble of deporta tion by previous pillagers. Outside, too, amongst the tombs, I saw another pair employed in tearing down some iron railing which had enclosed a small family burying plot, and a few minutes later one of the scoundrels came to me offering for sale a neatly designed wire stand, which had supported a broken sees in the centre of the enclosure. Verily, with the best possible disposition to admire and praise our allies, lam sometimes com pelled to yield for a moment to a very different class of feelings, and believe that, with all our roughness of manner, our civilisation is in some respects a century ahead of theirs. War has horrors enough, in all conscience, without any enhancement of its terrible fruits, front the indulgence of a TlM deli° rapacity and love of ruin. I finally left this desolated but still picturesque spot by • breach in the enclosing wall made by cannon shot or shell, and returned to our own lines over the net-work of ditches and earthworks which formed the trenches of the French left attack. The three days which have passed since the de parture of the last mail have been almost utterly unproductive of anything in the shape of localnews— the rumour of a movement towards Eupatoria remain ing in stabs quo, unrealised or undisproved. The weather, in the meantime, has been unusually fine, and suitable for any operations that could be under taken. On the whole, the general opinion is setting in in favour of the belief that the old game of delay and hesitation is to be played again, and that, except ing whatever resettless " demonstration " the small French force lately despatched to Eupatoria may make, the main body of the allied armies will do nothing more till spring. In the first gush of our recent triumph everybody believed in and talked of some rapid movement which would put the top stone on the fabric of thepaatcampaigessuccess ; butasdays and weeks wear by without any sign of this occur rng, we are beginning to prepare for a long wintry interval of apathetic idleness and ennui. The French, to be sure, continue their partial shelling of the Court quill companied The construction of the military roads by the Eng lish troops is being carried on with great energy. The guard of the trenches in each attack is reduced to a captain's command, and ►he greater number of the troops thus set free are employed either in making roads, clearing the batteries, or making the necessary preparations for the coining winter. In this respect, among others, the abandonment by the enemy of the south side, occurring as it did a month or six weeks before the commencement of the severe awing tie greater part of the week until yesterday, the 23rd inst., and in some places the roads became nearly impassable from the accumulation of mud.

Had it taken place a mouth later. I there is every reason to believe that the winter would have caught us without any but the railroad to de pend upon for communication and the conveyance of supplies. Now there is every reason to expect that the plateau will he traversed in all directions by firm and substantial well-drained roads. It is impossible to overrate the great value and advantage of the op portunity thus afforded to ns for ensuring constant provision against the most material exigencies of the coming winter. Those only who bad occasion to observe the increase and multiplication of the varied miseries and sufferings which arms last winter from the want of mesas of transport and communication will be able to appreciate the real value of the different circum stances under which the army will be placed during the ensuing winter. All the shot and shell belonging to the siege guns have now been brought up from the batteries, and are placed in convenient positions near to the ter mini of the railroad for conveyance to &Mitres. Many of the heavy guns and mortars have been also brought away, and to all appearance the numerous batteries of our two attacks will in a few days be completely dismantled.

The Russians hare sunk some guns on the north aide, and have succeeded in getting the range of the tows and Karst),hula subtA on w the coach side.

The principal French mortar battery is concealed by the long range of building com prising Fort Nicholas, and the shot and shells discharged from the opposite side with the intention of impeding and silencing the fire of this powerful battery, fall very wide of their mark. A few of the French artillerymen on the right, in the battery close to the water of the roadstead near Careening Bay, have suffered, but on the whole very few casualties have occurred.

On Sunday afternoon last our usually quiet neighbour hood wee thrown into great commotion by the news that a highway robbery had been committed and murder attempted. It appeals that an Irish family by the name of M'Lsne had recently come into the country from the State of New York, and settled about four miles from this place, on the Illinois side of the line. M'Lsne bad a son-in-law by the name of Cozen, who had accompanied him as far u this place, with the expectation of proceeding to lowa.. soon as the haying season should pus. Cozen was a poor, but in dustrious and worthy man. By his industry and frugality he had accumulated some three or four hundred dollars, and this constituted all his worldly possessions. This little sum excited the cupidity of M'Lane, who, on the day fleet men tioned, repaired to the woods about forty rods from his house, sad there secreted himself in the thicket by the road side, and awaited the coming of Cozen, whom he expected that way; and when Cozen approached the spot hi'Lane e_preng upon him. A fearthl ceetct ensued, in which Cozen, being wholly tindelended, was f e l led to the g round, robbed of 376 dole., and then brutally pounded and lace rated until he was supposed to be dead. Cozen, how ever, was able to crawl to the house of a near neighbour, to whonthe related the occurrence. The news spread over the land with the rapidity of a prairie fire, and on Monday, at en early hour of the day, hundreds of sturdy yeomen were seen coming from all directions to the house of the magi strate, where, it had been rumoured, the examination wee to take place. I arrived on the spat at about three o'clock in the aftersooo, just et the conclueion of the examination. The case was " summed up" on the part of the people by one of my near neighbours, in a speech replete with elo queue, and marked with great force and energy. From the moment I ar•ived on the ground, I could hut notice the excitement which appeared to move tbe'vlbole assembly. Fire flashed from every eye, end revenge ap peered to be the :oboe spirit of the hour, and at the con ' elusion of the examination it broke forth in tones of thunder. M'Lsne insisted on his innocence, in de fiance of the testimony of Cozen against him. This ' incensed the people to a degree almost nneontrol able. They knew that the law would take good care of bi. Lane ; bat that would not restore to Cozen his money, and they resolved with one accord that ll'lone must tell where the money was concealed, or he would be harged on the spot. "Tell us where the money is, you old villain, or you will leave the house alive, Clime from =soy mouths simultaneously. Al'Lene per sisted In his innocence. "Bring the rope !" " Haug him I" " Wbo can throw the leeso ?" came from all parts of the house at once. It was evident a storm was brewing, end the Aker having the prisoner In chorge very prudently took him aloft out of the reach of the incensed multitude below, who kept up a continual cry for the rope and the gallows. Here the officer, with one or two men, entreated the prisoner, as he valued his life, to tell them where to find the money. The enraged people below stairs were de termined to lynch him if he did not disclose it. Again and again it was urged upon him to no purpose, he insisting that he knew nothing whatever of the transaction. At this juncture Judge A—, becoming tired of entreaty, stepped up, confronted the prisoner, looked him full in toe eye, and in a loud, earnest tone, said: " William M'Lsne, mike now your last prayer, for in less than one half-hour your soul will be in eternity. You will carry with you the stain of a brother's blood ; b ut d lioe not, I entreat you again, appear helots your God with a open your lip,. We have shielded you thus far from an estraged and incensed people, but we can 40 10 no longer." This last fervid appeal brought the culprit to a sense of his real situation. He turned deadly pale, and then called hr his wife, who advised him to keep ont, which advice be determined to take. At this a rush was made for the upper floor, the rope thrown over his head, and then cow h noween com menced a conflict which the pen cannot describe. I had te wo rea . d oo o h f olysonecohoi•g sloseirs:througtgoleovwerarboti-1 I tween the people, the officers, and the prisoner. While lead I ' the strife was aging within, the outer yard was thronged with seee tators, gashes up into the windows, to catch a glimpse of the battle. Among the number of eager spectators I observed many whose wrinkled brows and silvery locks told plainly that they bad long passed the iner.diin of l ife —some of whom, to*, had sieve been the pillars of the church for a quarter of a century. Perhaps this was the first time in their whole lives that they had ever been called upon to sanction such a proceeding, and in the atrocity of the crime committed they found their justifi cation. After a struggle of perhaps a quarter of an hour in which the prisoner had been several times suspended by the neck, and es often released, to Rive him a chance to tell of the money, he sued for Fudge ; end as he stood gaspieg for breath and telling the spot where the money was concealed, I saw the blood 'tending on his neck, which bad beta wising from it by the rope. After a confession oconten f his guilt to and a delivery of the mon e y , the people were t leave Main the hands of the law, and at the conclusion of the matter they gave six hearty cheers for Judge Lynch. K'Lene is now lying in prison, awaiting his trial for attempted murder and highway robbery. THE DAILY NEWS: LONDON MORNING PAPER, price undamped 4d., maniped 3d.

With the exception of the excavated rock remains of Inkermann—of which their situation as yet limits our examination to a telescopic survey—the ruins of Hera*lea Chersonesus, on the little headland that bounds Quarantine Bay on the west, are the only architectural relics of aoy historic interest in the neighbourhood of Sebastopol. Till within so recent a period, I believe, as twenty years ago, several others were 'tattered over the plateau from the mouth of the Tchernaya to Balaklava, along the eastern de clivity of which a wall connecting these two points served to protect the promontory against the Scythian' and 13osphoranie kings; but what the dens edas tampon's had been slowly effecting for aw l tunes, the " march of improvement" hu speedily consummated since then, and, excepting the few blocks of Chersonese masonry which I have sem i tioned, not a trace is now to be seen over this broad expanse of bill and valley, of either Greek or Genoese remains. The last and most sweeping clearance of the architectural relics of this celebrated commercial city of antiquity took place on the build ing of Nicolaieff, on the Bong, when all the finest of its green marble pillars and slabs were carried off to form part of the houses in the new town. Later, the rise of Sebutopol itself occasioned a still further diminution of the ruins, by the extraction of almost every remaining block that could be turned to account in the erection of the great Russian strong ' hold ; till hardly enough now remains to guide the wanderer in his search after the site of the capital of one of the most powerful free states of the easiest world. On Sunday I rode over to Barniesch, awl after making the tour of the large wooden town into which this French landing-placohu grown, proceeded over the heights en its north-east, and isnabled for a timo amid the crumbling relics of the old Greek city, and the tombs in the very picture:swap graveyard of the Church of St. Wladimir, a sheet way beyond. Before attempting any description of either of these last, however, I may jut prefix a remark or two on the present state of Barnieech itself, and the line of works by which it is now ford- Bit a few weeks ago, thin head-quarters of the French administrations and principal locale of the traders who followed the army consisted of little more than a couple, or at most three, straggling and Woken rows of wooden sheds, portions of which bore, lobe sure, sufficiently imposing names, such as Hotel d es Allies, Cale de l'Uaivers, Grand Magnin de Monsieur Quelqu'on et Cis., and the like; but sounding as might be the nomenclature given by the various propriflaires to their shops, they were little better than so many detached hovels, and their stocks in trade were anything but first-class. Wondrous, however, is the change which has taken place : regularly laid-out streets of substantial I and Deady-Mak wooden houses have been erected along the whole faa of the slope running up from the northern shore of the bay, and in these are to be seen shops filled with every variety of eatable,drink able, and wearable merchandise; behind the counters of which, too, buxom Marseillaises or Parisiennes yPAIL Y NEWS FORWARDED tothe COUNTRY by EVF.MING PORT. at 19e. ed. per qr., gamest in whams.

Nothing transpired to throw addi- uck the tional light upon the cue so respected the man owing to who sire deceased the fatal blow ; but it app. a red that abeam' of the infirmary house surgeon from indisposition, and to ea impression that deceased was only suffericg under some severs I , rniets received in a drunken row, no remedial treatment at all adequate to ter ease was adopted until five or six hours after her admission into the infirmary. Altar an hour's deliberation t he jury returned a ye , di rt of man slaughter against Scott, d, and Higgins, four of the navvies actively participating in the tiot, and they were committed for trial. The man who is supposed to have struck the fatal blow is still at large. A large reward is cured for his capture, and the police are on his track. FIFE IN SHOE-LANE, FLEET-eTWEET.—Lsat night (Sande y), between the bouts of 8 end 9 o'clock, a fire broke out in the premises belonging to Mr. lama Foot, e^ffee sliopand ohop.bouse keeper, carrying on business at No. 98, Sharlene, Fleet-street. It was hslf•put 10 o'clock before it could be entirely subdued, and at that time the flames had passed through every Boor in the building. Fortunately the sufferer was insured in tits San Fire office. The origin of the misfortone could not be eroertained. The proprietor end his wife had gone out a few minutes previously for a walk, and liken they lift the place was apparently safe. . . may he seen defiling cat creature-comforts to groups of red-coated ensigns and lieutenants, whom they daily bewitch all the way from the English camp, to listen to their merry laugh, and drink in unsettling poison from their wicked but lustrous black eyes.

The AUumlaut; ap- pear to have seen the regiment pending, as the men fell in on the tet race in front of one of the large white buildings which they occupied as their barrack. Some shells were thrown, and one, penetrating the roof, lodged in the room converted into a surgery. Assistant-Surgeon Teevan and an . orderly were in the apartment, and had just time to make their escape before the shell exploded. Neither was injured. As no good purpose was effected by exposing the troops to this fire, the 3rd Buffs marched back to their old posicioit near the 2nd Division to- day. The French have kept up a harassing fire, day and night, against the Russians on the north side. In addition to a large pile of buildings, supposed to be storehouses, another detached shed, also seeming to be connected with the commissariat, has been set on fire. The convoys of waggons are not observed moving, as they used to do. in the daytime, towards the depots of stores below the Star Fort ; and the working par ties and troops on the march keep much higher towards the crest of the line of mountains forming the north aide, instead of moving along the lower road near the cliff.. The tents, moreover, seem diminished in number, but the camp on the Inter mann heights remains as extensive as ever. It is singular that so few accidents have occurred in the town and suburbs, and among the deserted fortifications, from the mines and magazines left by the enemy, and arranged to be exploded. Fresh magazines were discovered daily, until the lut three days, with traits :aid, and everything prepared for explosion. No casusity from them occurred, how ever, and the quantity of gunpowder secured from these sources is enormous. A few men have been in jored by treading on foogeases, but the number in jured by these has been remarkably small, both among the French and ourselves. Mejor•Generel Markham has been suffering a gnash from rheumatism and general illhealth that k b feared he will be compelled to leave the army be the Geld for a time. When first ordered to join the UN in the East under Lord Raglan, General Mu► here was in the north-western provisoes of India. Tft amply with the order he travelled by rapid journeys, and on his way met with a =Anus injury in consequence of the upsetting of Me seaveyance, and receiving a severe kick fee• a loess ta the chest, which fractured some ribs. The Dental was too earnestly bent on the °lied of his journey to adopt the necessary means of care for this hurt, and in consequence of absence of proper attention on this occasion his health appears to have suffered. He has been ailing ever aisee he reached the Crimea, but it is fully expected that 1 1 after a few weeks' rest and care he will' . have regained health and strength sufficient to en able him to resume duty. Brigade-Major W. F. Pubs, 47th Regiment, who, while doing duty with Ile Ind brigade of the 2nd division, was wounded in ths head at the stunk of the Redan, is lying in a very premolar state, and not expected to live. Brevet Major Remnant Chapman, 20th Regiment, doing duty as acting engineer, died at the siege train of the left attack oa the 20th in stant. He received a wound in the knee. He was nephew to Lieutenant-Colonel Edward Chapman, Royal Engineers, whose name has been so intimately associated with the engineering opera tions on the left, and was residing with him at the time of his death. Captain Halsted Poole, 23rd Regiment, has also sunk from the effects of his womb s which were of a very serious character. He wee sap• ' pond at first to have been killed, as be was not found till the morning alter the assault.

A busy population, and crowds of arriving and departing customers throng and jostle each other in the road ways, and, with the aid of strings of waggons and light carts, interspersed with here and there a mounted vivandiere, riding "not sideways but other ways," complete a very striking and peculiar picture of life in one of its not least suggestive phases. The high plateau behind the town is mainly own. pied by government stores and pattered bits el eneampment, some couple or three hundred yards distant from which runs the line of field- works which fortifies the position, in a sweeping curve from north to south. In point of solidity and apparent permanency these defences far surpass those by which Balakl•va and its neighbourhood have been strengthened, their construction having nothing whatever about it which is improvieed or temporary in appearance. The whole consists of the usual work of a continuous line of ditch and substantial stone-faced earth bank, crowned with batteries at intervals of every five hundred yards, which are so constructed as to pour a cross-fire upon any attacking force that might attempt to force the line. Those of the redoubts which I saw on Sunday had not received their guns; bat this, I presume, will be dale before winter sets in. The impression given to a glance at the whole, was certainly such as in no way favoured the notion that our allies meditate the early retreat from the situation ; but rather encouraged the belief that, peace or no peace, they'll hold &smite& for some time to come. From the point at which I emerged from this admirable line of defence works, the route towards the ruins lay down a steep and very stony declivity, at the bottom of which was a French encampment. Then an open space, then a patch of encampment again, and so on for nearly a mile, when the path entered a broad grassy open, on the other side of which lay all the crumbling ruins that have as yet escaped removal. Spread over this were several Frenchmen, impressed with the delusive notion that they were " doing it" in the line of quail shooting ; but I counted five shots out of six running in which the sportsman missed his "feathers." They carried cheap double Nitre% however, and were girt on with game-bags—a completeness of outfit which doubtless brought with it a keen sense of sporting enjoyment, and so, minus the sup plementary game, realised its wearer's object well enough. The first portion of the ruins! came to was a thick and lofty wall, much frayed and honeycombed, but still likely to resist the action of time for centu ries to come, if spared so long by the more destruc tive hand of man. Outside of this massive line of masonry, and nearly washed by the sea, was a collection of ruinous buildings also of evidently con siderable antiquity, but forming no part of the ruins which give interest to the spot. Within, nothing remains to point out where temple, or forum, or market-place once stood; odd and scattered frag ments of foundation walls having alone outlived the annihilating breath of some twenty centuries, and escaped the yet more fatal agency of a vandalism which can neither value nor respect what has bees consecrated by time. The French had taken advert tage of one of these low masses of antique mum, in the construction of the extreme outside battery el their left attack, and here in incongruous fellowship with gabions, ravines, and sand-bags, were to be men the relies of buildings which had become reins before ever Gaul had emerged from its anti-medieval barbarism, or the savage peopled forests of Scandi navia echoed to the sound of the first civilising are. Further on, in advance of this battery, the ruins pre sented very much the appearance of an exhausted quarry, heaps of broken slabs and massive chiselled blocks lying thickly all over the, ground, and almost hiding the few traces of foundations which the eye could still discover amid the surrounding rubbish. After picking my way cautiously, and not without danger to both horse and rider, through these historic wrecks and pitfalls, for a few hundred yard., I came upon the remains of a few modern houses, in an open space, before which were piled op fragments of old Oreek pillars, capitals, and other productions of the architec tural chisel, cut out of a rough white marble, and but little discoloured by time. The heap would have filled some six or eight ordinary waggons. They may probably have been in course of removal to Se bastopol at the time of the arrival of the Allies, and the sadly fractured condition in which I found them was no doubt largely owing to the round shot and shell which had fallen and exploded on and around the spot during the siege. A few perches be yond this was another French battery, like nearly all the rest, dismantled and empty; and serving u • sort of abutment to this was the lest fragment of the Chersooese masonry, a portion of the wall of what appeared, from the foundations, to balm been • small circular tower. Windiog Omagh the labyrinth of old trenches and ambuscades which lay behind this, I reached the crown of the little slope which divides the extreme end of Quaran tine Bay from the grassy and secluded valley from the centre of which roes the green and gilt spire and cupola of the "holy and ancient" church of St. Wladimir. It was the sight of the sacrilegious plundering of this building by the French, your readers may perhaps remember, which Prince Meatchikoff alleged to be the inciting cause of the atrocities committed by the lismian gathers
