LONDON, THURSDAY, SEPTEARNINC A PIM daye—a few hears—ihaibibig us inm Stant news trom Sebastopol; but whether of victory oriel, a temporary check it is not easy to conjectue from the last laconic thopee•li of Generel SIIIPSON, Os the 45th alt., the bridge which the Russians have been constructing across the great harbour was timely completed; large bodies (Assn were employed throw ing up earthworks on the north aide of the buboes ; and entrenchments, feting the north, were being formed on the Sievernayalill from the sea to the first lighthouse. These preparations have every appear ance of bring made with a view to the evacuation of the fortresses on the south side et the harbour, and an obstinate defence of the earth side. But they do not necessarily indicate that the south side is to be abandoned immediately. The bridge across the harbour will serve to convey troops from the north whenever an assault is impending, es well as to facilitate the retreat of the troops on the meth side as soon as further defence is found to be impossible ; and it is evident that new works are la the progress of erection behind the Redan and the Xaiskhoff. Sebastopol, it ought always to be kept in mind, is not to be viewed so much in the light de besieged town as of strong defenees covering an ors" as amorous as that of the assailants, which has hoe access, at any moment, to every part of them. Tb. Russians are evidently determined to contest to the last every inch of this strong ground; and General Sisiesotee last account of the "siege operations" is, that they " progress steadily, with, I regret to say, heavy casualties." There can be little doubt that if the Allies persevere in the mode of attack they have sdopted, Sebastopol, if not relieved, must fell at last; but when ?—and at what cost of life on the part of the besiegers? remains the question ; and whether the Russians will be able to interrupt their proct ed- General Simesoe confirms the unanimous report of the newspaper correspondents, that a renewed attack on the allied lines is emit cted. " From various sources we learn, that the Rus sians on the right bank of the Tchernaya are held in perfect readiness for an offensive movement." He says, moreover, that "the enemy have been concentrating troops at the Mackenzie, Tasovs, and Rarities, their left extend ing as far as the village of Melton', and are supposed to have received considerable reinforcements, which probably consist of two divisiors of grenadier, which have been conveyed in cuts from Baktchiserai and Simpheropol." It appears, then, that while the siege is nicking slow progress, and with "heavy easualtier," the allied army remains on the defensive, and is constantly threatened by the Russians. The period of the year at which our naval ascendency in the Euxine can be turned to account is rapidly drawing to a close. The Russians and the allied farces in the Crimes appear to be so equally matched that neither can gain ground on the other. A second winter campaign in front of Sebastopol would seem to be inevitable ; and in that case there is but slender prospect of anything decisive being effected before 4.4 op. lug. It is true coat num le wear ing herself out by the enormous exertions which she is compelled to make in order to maintain her ground in the Crimea ; bat what opportunities are afforded by this delay to Russian diplomatic intrigue? Our rulers are secure of the national support in carrying on the war; perhaps it would be more accurate to say that they are compelled by the national pees. sure to carry on the war. But by allowing it to be spun out they expose themselves to the risk of having their efforts impeded by the pro-Russian party here at home. The present House of Commons is assuredly no trustworthy representative of the na tional sentiment. With our very corrupt and defective electoral system the results of a dissolution must always be regarded as in moms degree problematical. Towards the close of last session the surprise I attempted by the pro-Russian faction on the question of the Turkish loan was very nearly proving suc cessful. And there are symptoms abroad which seem to indicate that the parties to that manoeuvre are not idle at this moment. Sir JAMES GRAHAM could not abstain from lending them a helping hand and encouraging voice at the festival in honour of the cutting of the first sod of the Silloth Railway. The printed petitions, and me morials, and pamphlets, of the peace-at-any-price party are being circulated with renewed assiduity. Even in the Cabinet there are men whose good faith as regards the vigorous prosecution of the war is more than doubtful. Every moment of unnecessary delay plays into the hands of that unscrupulous feu tion, which huehown that it will shrink fret se manoeuvre, however disreputable, to promote the conclusion of • dangerous and inglorious peace. We do not indeed believe that they can en tirely succeed; but they may so mystify Parliament and embarrass Ministers as materially to retard their military efforts, and thus increase the expenditure of blood and treasurb by which final victory mast be height. All these consideratioas ought to urge ape* Miele' ere the necessity of adopting ansstes accelerate the defeat of Russia, whit* plonks a prompt results than the very questionable stales el' strategy to which they cling with such Algid chaise/fey. LTTCIIIS77-MATIWILIVS, in the county of Dorset, bee a population of 878 persons, all with souls to be saved. The Church of England, which hu the " cure," or care, of all the souls in England, hu taken particular care of Lytchett-Matravers, inas much u it provides 8074 per amours for the spiritual teaching of this village. There are dis tricts in Bethnal•green where the Church can only afford to give 2004 a year to the spiritual guide of 10,000 people. Thus the clergy man who desireth the office of pastor of the souls is Lytchett-hlatravers, "desireth a good thing." Not a "good thing," certainly, in the sense in which Sr. PAUL used the wards, bet a good thleg in the sense in which the words are seed in Capel-court and in Lombard-street, and in all places where the tables of the mosey-changers ate placed, and where things are bought and sold. And looking at it from a carnal point of view, which the Church strictly forbids, we know, but which is the only point of view from which the mousy changers and those who buy and sell will consent to look at it, Lytchett-Matravers dis plays other charms. It is sunlit* near a large and populous port, and near two large towns. The holy zaka who takes charge of the souls of Lytebett-Matraven will, won, be able easily to step from the boorishness of the village to the Galli vain of civilised life.

The care of these 878 souls being then a t*.ilerably "good thing," is worth some thins in tt• market. s o d was yesterday put up for , sale. Strictly speaking it wss not the cure of JtJla tot* bet the tied to present to it, tlatt wu the object of sale, on the occurrence of la certain contingency. The Church which looks with holy hotter i nput , Awls THOMPSON a ho• wants to buy a living fnatitiseff, is perfectly careless about e lfdaviitepta a hundred way. by which THOMPSON may effect his purpose indirectly. So yesterday the advowson and right of presentation to the rectory of Lytcbett-Matravers was sold by auction, at Germ way's, after the same fashion as any salesman would sell dirty dead acres, or live cattle. A number of persons came together, whether infidels or believers, sinners or saints, it is impossible to say, and is nothing to the purpose. The one of the party who could "come down " most heavily would have that motto' over the spiritual education of the 878 souls of Lytchett-Matravers, which is involved in the possession of the power to nominate their spiritual teacher. The auctioneer exhibited all the points of the object of sale, as at Tattersall's they exhibit the points of a horse. He considered it was worth 3,5001. Exception was taken to this nn the NAN of the ineauelsosit% age, which was 0013 thirty. Suppose the incumbent would not die soon— the exceptors may be imagined to have said—what time it will be before we get value for our money ? But in answer to this it was mysteriously hinted that his health might be none of the beat, that he might hate the seeds of a mortal disease in him, and then consider how much better your bargain be comes. "Representations had been made," said the auctioneer, "•s to the state of the incumbent's health. He (the auctioneer) would not say what those repre sentations were, but intending purchasers might easily satisfy themselves on that point." It may be supposed from this that some person in the room was commis sioned to satisfy inquirers (in confidence) as to the condition of the incumbent's health. Fancy the die appointment of an" intending purchaser," who had set his mind upon ossification of the heart, finding that the incumbent was afflicted with rheumatism only ! Or imagine another, who was prepared to go the whole hog if the Rector had reached the last stage of consumption, shutting up his pockets on hearing there was nothing the matter with the tenant of the living but a running at the nose ! Before the bidding began, a gentleman pre sent objected that the Rector must keep a curate, which would seriously diminish the value of the receipts. In plain English, the person who desired this "good thing" would not be likely to wish to do all the work, but would think it desirable to put the unpleasa•t half of the work upon some other person's shoulders, for which indulgence money must be paid, which was a hardship. This objection was not very satisfactorily answered by the auctioneer, who said that the Rector might do the work himself. It was because it was supposed that the Rector would wish to shirk his work that the objection was made. Another malcontent objected that the parsonage house was too large, and would require a large portion of the income to keep it up. The auctioneer, fertile i• expedients, replied that this might be remedied by the clergyman taking pupils. If he could secure five or six pupils at a hundred a sear each. it wriela sad vsry much to the value of the living. Of course it would; but would it add much to the value of the parson? What is to become of the 878 souls hungering for spiritual food while the parson is slaving at tuition in order that he may dwell in a large house and fare sumptu ously every day ? The five or six pupils will have value for their money, or they will not pay. The 878 human beings will receive nothing worth receiv ing at the hands of one who is paid 8071. a year for teaching them. And it is here that the glaring scandal of the sale of advowsons and presenta tions, as at present conducted, is seen in all its enormity. The welfare of the parishioners never once enters into the celculations of buyer and seller. The trees on an estate which is sold have as much voice in the transfer as the inhabitants of • pariah whose spiritual interests are sold to the highest bidder. A living is valuable in proportion as there is little todo, as there is money to be gained, as there is pleasure to be enjoyed. If the auctioneer yesterday could have promised the bidders that at about the time when the buyer would anrire the power to present the inhabitants would have dwindled down from eight hundred to eighty, it is quite clear that the bidding. would have received a marvellous impulse. And it would have been his duty to employ such au argument. Every inducement which the auctioneer put befog" the bidders yesterday he was bound to put for the proper fulfilment of his duty. But every such inducement being put before men who are pur chasing the right to take charge of the souls of others, is a gross scandal to the Church which permits it. The sale of advowsons and presentations must be abolished or greatly modified before the Church can hope to obtain that respect from the great mass of the population which its position and its capabilities should entitle it to expect.

It is rumoured that Mr. er:on, of Ardross, M.P., has purchased the estate of Feth.. Delmore, which washes with the property of the member for the In Burghs.

On one of tbeee seclusion, it appears that Mr. C. took rather a prolonged " spell " at the oar,the consequence of which was a severe blister on one of the hands. in a second excursion, before the sore was properly healed, hen far aggravated the mischief that his hand became seriously inflamed, and the inflammation extending up the arm for some days, the most serious consrgnences were apprehended. Forinnately, an eminent Bailin pbysician happened to be sojourning in the neighbourhood, and his assistance being called in, the arm was twice placed under the operation of the lancet, and other liiellinfoll adopted to reduce the inflammation. At this juncture we understand Mr. C. was seised with an attack of gout, one of the parts affected being unfortu nately the injured arm; and under this complication of ma ladies the rev. gentleman was suffering at the date of the last letter received in Cheltenham.

General Suchozenett, who has been appointed to succeed the late General Read in the command of the 2nd army corps, set out for Sebastopol yester day. He has hitherto held the rank of chief of the artillery of the active army. He is a man of intellect and energy, and a thoroughly accomplished soldier, his military attainments being in nowise limited to the range of that special branch of the service to which be has devoted himself. Another levy of conscripts is impending here. The government of Kieff, which until now has been sub ordinated to the commander•inchief of the Crimean army, is now placed, with all its military esta blishments, under the care of Prince Paskiewitch. ODESSA, AUGUST 23. In a fortnight or three weeks will be presented here the greatest military spectacle the people of Odessa have ever seen. Forty battalions of infantry, thirty-two squadrons of cavalry, and eighteen bat teries, will represent the attack and defence et Odessa, under the superintendence of General Luders. The line of attack will extend from the village of Lustdorf to the Shawachover bill. Yesterday a part o f the 3rd Light Cavalry Division of General Oro , reohelm passed through the city into the camp on the east side. Several reserve battalions of the 11th l lnfantry Division are to follow. A letter from Odessa, of the 25th, in the Ost.Doestsch Post of Vienna, says: It is still positively stated that the Emperor, with the Grand Doke Michael, will arrive here in the course of September, and that be will proofed hence to the Crimea to inspect the army there. His journey is said to have been retarded in consequence of the late events in the Baltic. Several officers of the guard have arrived bete, and it is said that a part of that corps have en tered Bessarabia. there is a considerable movement in Southern Russia for bringing up supplies to the Crimea, before ths bad weather sets in. There are now, it is calculated, 160,000 Russian troops in the Crimes, and as they formerly rsceived the main part of their supplies from the Sea of Leon; which is not now open to them, they are obliged to have recourse to other parts. The storehoness: at Simferopol and Baktehissarai are said to be completely empty, and from the vast quantities required for such an immense body of men and horses, it is difficult to imagine bow they will be able to be brought to the Motes by lead conveyance. ASIATIC TURKEY. The Trieste Gazette:publishes the following from its correspondent at Trebizond, dated August 14 : Anording to the latnt reports the bashi bazooka in Bue na= have refused to obey the wintery authorities, and some of them have committed such sicasses that the bazaars ban been closed.

The correspondent of the Nord, of Brussels, writ- ing from Vienna on :he Ist of Sept., says :—" In the best-informed eirclie of this capital the report of the definitive renewal of the Anglo-French alliance with Austria, with. the view of forcing Russia to any terms of VAC* which it may please them to impose upon her., is received with astonishment and incredu lity- Persons here are far more disposed to believe in an approaching alliance between Austria and Prussia. The constant communications between the two great German Powers, and the arrival of Baron Prokesch front Frankfort, afford ground for enter taining such a belief. The object of any such treaty would be the maintenance of peace in Germany, and ; a neutral position in regard to the belligerent powers." SERVIA. The reigning Prince of Servis has just formed a new ministry, viz., Minister of Foreign Affairs, M. Pscaalow uluL, Lieutenant to the Prince, Interior, M. Nioolawiteoh, son-in-law to the Prince, and hitherto agent of Berri* to the Sublime Porte at Constantinople; Finance, M. Alzika Menadowitz, uncle to the Princess; and Justice and Public Wor ship, M.

As a pregnant confirmation of the news which gave you last week, that the French government is for the moment on better terms with Austria, I call your attention to the following eulogy of the Austrian army of occupation in the Principalities, inserted io the Moniteur, under the head of "foreign cone spondenee : " Bucgauze; Atm. 22. The Tsunamis with which some journals receive and publish information of a nature to mislead and cense un easiness in the public mind, cannot be too much regrett d. It is thus, for some time put, the state of the Princi palities, under Austrian occupation, has furnished matter for the most incorrect statements. If we were to believe thew journals, there exist between the commandants of the Ottoman troops and the chiefs of the Austrian army of occupation differences of a nature to ►ender any good un derstanding impossible for the future. I am, however, able to affirm that no complication of the kind exists at Bucharest, and that far from such being the case, relations of the great est cordiality, founded on reciprocal consideration, have constantly been kept up between General Conchal and General Suleyeaut Pasha. These letters, moreover, in speaking of the feelings of the Wallachian population, state that the present occupation is only borne with impatience and regret. This usertion is not more correct than the former. The occupation of Moldo- Wallachia by the Austrian army is not so heavy a burden for the inhabitants of the Principalities as some persons have wished to tasks it believed. Oa the one hand, the charges imposed on them by this new occupation are not to be compared with those which were entailed on them by the preemies of the Russians ; and, on the other hand, the Austrian army maietaine the most perfect discipline. From most minute far 'emotion which I have collected, it molts that only two crimes were committed at the con inencoment of the occupation. :and the stigma of these two crimes ought only to fall on the guilty parties, whom the ooneta-martial punished promptly and energetically. It is therefore, according to official authority, necessary to dismiss from our minds all (except two of) the minutely detailed accounts of outrages com mitted by the Austrian soldiery, which received from various sources, were long accepted as true, and which, it must be admitted, the Bucharest corres pondent of the ifoniteur (who writes on the 22nd of August) ought to have contradiction sooner, for I believe the latest story on the subject is at least six weeks old. However, since the two courts laughed at St. Cloud, not a fortnight ago, when Regnier, the comedian, knew;he was making a sure hit in accen tuating in a particular manner the words, " Ab! Aus tria, Austria," which occurred in his part, diplomacy has been at work, and Austrian protestations are spin listened to, if not believed. The Constitution nel, no less dilatory than the Monileur correspondent in the Principalities, has only just discovered the true reason for that backwardness of Austria to join the Allies in the war, which it lashed unmercifully but a short time ago. The present Finance Minister, the Baron de Bruck, found that his predecessor, M. de Baumgartner, had left the Treasury in such a deplorable state that a reduction of one-half of the effective force of the army was ab solutely necessary as a measure of eoonomy. This, and not, re has all along been falsely imagined, any miserable difference with the Western Powers about the four points, was, according to recent explanations, the sole and veritable cause of the partial disarming sanctioned by Francis Joseph before his journey inspection of the army on the Russian frontier. The Constitutiosmel represents M. de Bruck as hampered by finance, but politically altogether on the side of France and England. It unfortunately hap pens that, since the article in the Oortititutionnel was written, news has arrived from Vienna, that all M. de Brick's financial plans have been rejected by the Coun cil of the Empire, to the great consternation of the mo nied interest, and that M. de Bruck's retirement is considered probable. Indeed, unless the Emperor overrules the decision of the Council by his preroga tive, which he may do if he pleases, M. de Bruck can have no choice but to retire. It is very possible that this unlooked-for occurrence may again alter the tone both of the articles in the Constitutionnel and the letters of the Nomitettes correspondent at Bu charest. The number of French troops embarked at Mar seilles and Toulon during the month of August was 40,000, and in the first four days of the present month the number was no lees than 8,000. Although it is generally taken for granted that all these troops are on their way to the Crimea, there is a suspicion that some of them are destined for Italy. Priam, Napoleon left Paris this morning on a short pleasure excursion on the coast of Normandy. Before leaving Paris, his Imperial Highness received the following members of the Society of Arts:—Lord Ebriegton and Mr. Scott Russell, Vice-Presidents of the Satiety ; Dr. Booth, F.R.S., Chairman of the Council ; Mr. W. B. Simpson, F.R.b., Mr. P. Palmer, and Mr. P. Le Neve Foster. The International Statistical Congress will hold its sittings, by permission of Count des Moray, in the Passe of the Corps Legislatif.

A letter from Alexandria, of the 25th ult., in the Monileur, says : Quiet has not yet been restored in Upper Egypt. The insurgents having retired into the desert at the approach of the viceroy, his highness again took the road to Alexandria, and since his return here things have become much worse. Some of the tribes have, it is true, laid down their arms, and the troops left on the principal points is the valley of the Nile are sufficient to prevent any aggression; but, from the last accounts received, the Bedouins are far from basin given up the struggle. The main body of the insurgents are in the ()Asia of Dahkel, about sever dap' much tp the west of Lyout. This oasis, which is one of the most fertile on the left bank, may be readily defended. The Bedouins are said to be about 7.000 strong ; but supposing this num berthat force, the commandant of the EgyP to be exaggerated, and that they only muster the elf of that number, it is very doubtful whether, in presenc o assume the offensive at the risk of losiog his army is the Diem by hunger and thirst. According to recent letters from Meuoush and Ktertoom all the missionaries in that part of Abyssinia have received orders to quit the consul immediately.
