Here the Russians had a my and secure covered approsch, which de. w eed the slope of the cliff, crowed the ravine, wed sass connected with a like approach from t he Mstitelon redoubt.. A complete parallel was t ho ormed.

A largo l imbo of prisoners was taken in these redoubts. The somber of guts, including some field-picas, to ut by the French, is stated to be twenty four I the woe guns were spiked. M soon as the Mamelon was taken by the French, t h e order was given b y Colonel Cam p bell for the w ell force told off for attack ng the quarry to i g no res. Oue end of the quarry, that looking east. wee d in • dirt ction towards the Malakhoff Tower, wee coneected with three parallels which the Monist's hod dug in front of the most advanced works es posehmsn's Hill to prevent our further advance. The large rim spit which the Russians contrived to t h r ow op after " Egerton's pit" had been taken Item them, was connected with the foremost of these .., e o e ts. When the order was given for our attack -Ir4 p ut, to advance, the 88th and 7th rushed out from the right of the zigzag approach on the left of egi 'deuced work, the men of the 47th and 49th regiments from the left of this approach. Irk& some rushed up the hill towrrds the Quarry, alum took possession of the enemy's rifle pit aid selvasced trench. It appeared that the Russians on wing the attack of the French against the Mamelon had moved along their trenches towards the right. white they became connected with the trenches or ether work' on the Malakhoff hill, so that the Jeff, that Bide against which our men advanced, was almost wbel_lv desert. d. A tr.fling opposition met with in t h e Qsarry itself was quickly reduced, and our troops esgestalated themselves on having gained an easy v i c tory. Carried away br their enthusiasm, they evj e scleanc.d towards the Medan, and perhaps, had they been in force, such was the confusion and slum of the Rumens, they might have carried this important work. As it was, the enemy returned with competitively powerful reinforcements, and sedately opened a fl toking fire, which compelled see men to abandon the quarry. It was not arm, el M had been anticipated. A second time our men Ro ved against this work, and took it from the w ay, who had again entered it ; nor was this the last time, for still later in the evening a third sestest for l's possession took place, which ended OS before, In OUT being moots, but at • severe ex. ruse. ho less than eighteen officers. and • large somber of moo, amounting to upwards of half the engine attacking force, were placed hors de combat, iscludise killed and wounded. Col. Campbell behaved with the most determined gallantry. He was stew k DO Iris then fox: times, and once so severely by a :whet ball, wdelt providentially was prevented from Witting • more serious wound by striking the front of his sword belt, that ho leaved. Nothing bat the 'Detaching bravery of the troops could have enabled them to retain the Quarry after they had wrested it from the enemy. The ground at the beck of the Quarry was fortunately found to be loose and soft, so' that the working party were enabled to throw up some cover in this direction without touch difficulty. Our exact loss is not known, nor will it be until after so armistice has enabled the dead outside to be col lected, sod communic alone to b- made respecting prisoners. Major Edward Bayley, of the 88th regiment. lost one hand, and has received a wound in tie body, which, it is feared, must speedily prove fatal. Captain Maynard, of the same regi meal, received a gunshot wound in the arm, sod Lieut. Kenny in the foot. Lieut. Grier is also said to be wounded, but slightly. Captain Jackson Wray, sad Captain Eimund Corbett, tell gloriously in the attack. Captain Webb is missing, and, as he was known to have been wounded, it is suppoer d he has fallen Into the hands of the enemy. Several officers of the 7th Fusiliers were wounded, but none dan gerously. Major Mills received a gunshot wound ia the thigh. Both officers, of the name of Jones, and familiarly called Alma Joues, the other, lokermson Jones, to distinguish them hors each other, were hit, but fortunately es- 1 aped with slight contusions. Major Armstrong was severely hurt by an explosion' • few yards from' Egerton's tifle-pit. The Russians had mined the ground here, and were gradually advancing toward the pit itself. Their working party had been heard se veral nights before, but as there were no fireballs used, the place of their wof king could not be discovered, and it was a matter of surprise the following morning that no evidence appeared anywhere of work having been done. They bad, as was now proved, been excavating underground, the mine being prolonged from within their advanced parallel. Lieutenant Maclean Law rence, of the 34 h regiment, who was wounded a few sights since, was toiled. Captains John Peel and Brown Westhead, of the same regiment. and Lieut Saunders were wounded, and Lieut. Clayton is reported to be miming. Ot the Royal Engineers, Lieut. Graves Lowry, a general favourite and most active officer, was killed by a musket shot, which penetrated the back of the neck. He is said to have volunteered for duty with the storming columns whenever a petrel assault might take place. Lieutenant Ander els, 94th regimeut, doing duty as an assistant meager, was also wounded by a musket ball, but not dangerously. The casualties have been scattered smog so many various regiments, and the statements given by those most closely engaged are so imperfect and often contradictory. that until the regular returns are collected and published, no satisfactory conclu sions can be made either as to the extent or precise 'store of our tome.. The less of the French is variously reckoned from eleven to fourteen hundred in killed and wounded. Many of their bodies are lying scattered over the Naliikhoff Hill. The number of Russians lying upon the Mamelon Hill is immense; the slaughter chiefly warted when the French, after their temporary retirement from the Mamelon redoubt, returned with renewed energy to the attack against the Russian reinforcements, and drove them back behind the Melakhoff. The Kt:amen again suffered severely. The 6 h regiment of the line is also said to have lost I great proportion of officers. Joss 8. The working parties have not been idle. The *CI of the covered approach leediog up to the redoubt on Mount Saloons has been turned, and now faces toward C ateniog bay. The embrasures of the Mamelon redoubt have been converted into lodgements for riflemen on the sides facing the Frerch and English frontiers, and some guns, probably field pieces, have been turned toward the enemy. The covered approach from the left of the Mamelon redoubt toward the Karebehrtia ravine has been reversed in its aspezt, and the French troops are now safely placed under its protection. A sew covered 'topnotch has been carried up from oar advanced zigzag in the right attack to the gnarly, and on all Odes oar new acquisitions ap pear Serra. A report of the deaths of Lieut.-Colonel Sherman, Major Dickens, and Captain Forster of the 62nd regiment, has circulated through the eaten. It i s stated that they were holding the Quarry, and that a round soot from the enemy wounded fatally these officer', and committed great havoc among several lootommisaioned officers of the regiment besides. Captain Ingall is said also to be wounded, but not severely. Several bodies of troops have been observed to come over from the North side. Some barges have alai been towed e'er, conveying what appeared to be stoma of ammunition. The enemy have searesly Bred at all from the Medan ; and only tour guns Dave been worked in the Malakhoff batteries. An 'nemesia discharge of shells was kept up all night from our mortars against these two series of batteries. Beam carcasses were also thrown from our left attack into the town. As they were discharged from • very binoeed position, the charge of powder was not Malted to be so greet as that which caused them to (PROM lal buret. and destroyed their efficiency. when thrown from the first parallels in the two attacks a few nights ago. A fire at present burning in the town. but seemingly confined to one small how, is attributed to the action of one of these missiles. Various rumours ate prevailing as to the intended operations to-night. Among the Frtnch a belief pre vails that a regular attack is to be made spinet the Malakhoff hill, while the English assault the Redars. An attack by the enemy, with a view to recover some of his losses, is not considered unlikely. An attempt was made on the , Quarry at daybreak this morning, but was quickly repulsed. A vigorous fire of mu ketry from the troops within it, and POMO deadly discharges from the font-pu battery near our advanced work on Frenchman's hill, compelled the Rorsians to retire. They were in great force. These continued reverses cannot but have had a very dispiriting rofitience on their troops, and now that sufficient time has elapsed to strengthen our newlygaioed positions, we have no reason to anticipate any untoward result eve.; should the enemy advance in considerable number. , Strong gales of wind from the north-east, and clouds of dust have been sweeping over the camp nearly the whole day. JrNa 9. No event of importance took place during the night. The Russians made no advance, their fire was generally slack: a few shells and occasionally some round shot were thrown from the line of batteries ex tending from the west side of Careening Bay to the Karabelnaia suburb in rear of the Malakoff hill, and were directed against the redoubts now in possession of our Allies on the light of C ireening Bay. The shipping also threw a few shells at the Mamelon redoubt. Our shelling has been kept up all night without interruption, and a heavy fire is still going on from our batteries. Nothing sure is known of the intentions respecting a further assault, but it will probably not be long be fore the attack is made against the Redan and Ma lakhoff positions. FRANCE. OP TH2 DAILY WHIM) PARIS, WIDSZSDAT EVENING - - The anxiety which has prevailed for several days about the state of affairs in the Crimea was relieved to a considerable extent to-day by the despatch of General Pelissier, made known here by the London papers, stating that all wu going on well on the 16th. The Rents rose 10c., closing at 67fr. 70c. Railways improved—two or three lines considerably. A despatch from Bucharest, by way of Vienna confirms the statement that an expedition has been undertaken against Perekop. The following despatch has come to hand: "VIENNA, Jums 20. " All that has hitherto been done in the way of re ducing the army bas been to discharge (lieencier) the battalions of grenadiers and the depot battalions; beside.. this, twenty4ll generals and several offic rs have been placed on the non-effective list. The Em peror appear* to have modified the original arrange• ments of his tour, it being announced that he will rt turn to Vienna by July 10." There must be some mistake in this despatch. If these picked battalions had been discharged, n e re duction would be highly important. It appears, from the proceedings of a court-martial held at Rout n last week, that a rather serious mu tiny has occurred in a depot of Hussars quartered there. Nineteen men delib rately absented them-; selves from an inspection of necessaires, which they were repeatedly ordortd to attend. Four of the ring leaders have been found guilty of a conspiracy to disobey order., and two of them are sentenced to be shot. THE CRIMEA. The default of official announcements of any kind from the Crimes has now extended over so many days as to call forth general remark, and give scope for the most adventurous reports. The latter are without exception of cloister character; moot of them being now three or four days old, are sufficiently answered by the fact that Prince Gortchokolf, although able to communicate in two daTs with St. Petersburg, can report nothing to our disadvantage. Bet *bah day brings forth its rumour, and, in the t excited state of the public mind, a line from rd Rsglan, were it but the old assurance that before Sebastopol "the wea ther is ver y fioe," would have a happy effect. The late successes in the E tat have stimulated the desire for news of further action, "as if increase of eppetite had grown by what it fed on." It cannot be doubted that it the public were informed that the last fortnight had been occupied, as doubtless it has been, in the construction of new bat teries, places of arms, rifle pits, and soon, in the newly gained ground, and that the commanders were only waiting until the tight could be placed more nearly on an equality of favourable conditions with the left attack, to open, as they will, a cannonade, not limited in extent and object, like the last, but en closing Sebastopol with the most dreadful tempest of fire that ever beat upon a doomed city, it would be acknowledged that time is not being lost. THE DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES. OP Taa DAILY NUNS., BUCHAREST, Jima 8. I will say nothing to-day about the Austrians, fur if I did I should have to relate new atrocities, and I i shrink from the task with horror. Aali Pacha was impatiently expected here from Vieona; for it was hoped that a visit from him would lead to the cessation of martial law. But probably he will not come ; Austria does not wish the Clre Vizier to visit the Principalities; and the will el Austria must be done. The termination of the Conferences at Vienna hay c aused great rejoicing in the Principalities ; for it is I hoped that France and England, now that they Call 1 00 longer look for the active concurrence of Austria • l will insist upon her withdrawing her troops from the Principalities. Will this hope, like so many others,' prove deceptive P A great crisis is feared to be impending in the enmmercial world here. The principal trade in these Principalities is in cereals. But our grain merchants so threatened with utter ruin ; for as they are unable I to export, not only do the capitals they have in vested in the purchase of corn remain unproductive, bat they tun the risk of losing the grain itself, for *ore is such an accumulation of it in the ports of Braila and Galatz that the magazines cannot receive the whole, and much of it is left in the open air, and begins to be damaged. Vessels dare not enter the Danube in search of cargoes at Braila and Gallas. It is true that within the last few days they have begun to show themselves, and already about 400 way have reached these ports, almost all of them under Greek and Austrian flags; but not above ten are taking in cargo, for they are only allowed to load for the ports from which they have sailed, viz., for Austrian or Greek porta. It is estimated that there are at present 400.000 kilos of corn at Braila, awl 300.000 at Galata. The kilo contains 400 ukas—each oka being about 3 lba. ringlish. The prices current are i—lst quality. 135 to 140 piastres per kilo at Bucharest, and 140 at Braila. The kilo of maize is from 70 to 75 piastres at Bucharest, and 100 to 102 at Braila. The kixi of barley sells at from 60 to 66 piastres. Fur 630 okas of hay 63 piastres are paid at Bucharest, and 40 in the rural districts. The Wallaehian piastre is worth I about 31d. English. The quantity of hay in the Principalities is excessive, great part of the cattle having perished in consequence of the Russian and Austrian occupations.

ADMIRAL LYONS AT TAOANROO. The Journal de St. Pettriboinv publishes the fol lowing report from Lieutenant-General Krasnoff: TAGANROG, Jona 3. On the let and tad instant ten hostile steaming arrived in the roads of Taganrog, and east anchor at the direst* of 16 minus (t worst equal to 5 ferioegs 12 poles) from the two. Oa the 2nd towards the evening they were joined by a name _ _ - rows I hills of steamers and gunboats, end oa the 3rd, at 8 o'clock is the morning, the entire hostile fore* approached the town. Four steamers took is tow some 60 of the small boats, end cause within 1 went of On town. A yawl beerieg • white flag having approached the Woronzoff leading place with par.ementeires, I sent to demand why they were come. I received for answer a summons to deliver up the town of T■gsnrog, and to order my troops to leave it, as otherwise it would be seized by the landing troops with force. On the other band, it was promised that after the surrender of the town the p ble inhabitants should be well treated, and their property spared; but this provisions, stores, end esteb!ishments of the Crows would be destroyed. After consulting with Major 0 1 Count Tolstoi, Gover nor of Tegenrog,l ordered& reply to be" made that military bonoor forbade me to surrender without ;combat • town committed to me for defence, that our troops were ready to die for the Emperor, and that if the enemy really wished Mi l spare the peaceable inhabitants he might land and soup ost aide the town the battle which should decide who should be its mastere.".But the parlementaires had scarcely rejoiced the flitilla when the enemy opened fire at half-past aloe against ocr ancient tortreu, although there estate now in that building only hospitals, over which the proper hosp3ll fi ,g was waving. In the interval I had taken the following assumes to defend the town : the defence of the principa l approach by the merited hill, leading from the quay to Greek-street, I confided to Major-General Count Tolstoi The detra•battalion of the puritan of Ta/smog bad been posted near the escarpment, with about two hundred Civilians hastily armed. In cue of an attack Count Tolstoi was to advance with his infantry and three centurions et Dos Cossacks. charge the enemy with the bayonet and overthrow him, while a regiment was to take the enemy in Sauk and so diode the affair. But in.' Stead of descendiog as expected, the allies, after having' bu. their steamers and fifty gunboats to bear emits the dockyard, commenced an infernal cannonade, abide was kept up for 611 ours. At the same time seven al the enemy's large semis, armed with enormous Psi:bans pm sad Cooper, rockets, remained anchored at • die inater, and concentrated their fire upon the town. Nothing was turd but the roar of cannon, the bursting of 'hells. The town was set on fire at CAI Bourse, in Greek-street, and at the Gostinoi-road; and at half-past three the assailants landed about 300 men, whom they seat towards the height near the church of the Cur Coast .ntioe. This detachment sommeneed a rifle fire behind some bushes, but at the Pith old stement Count Tolstoi, confiding a company to Lieut.- Colostel Mekedeasky, ordered hue to repulse the enemy. Thu distinguished officer placed his men in an include, protected by an orchard, instantly forced the enemy's in (entry to retire, then charging them vigorously with the bayonet, routed and drove them down to their boats. The I squadron then opened a *Me fire, which however only lasted a quarter ...f an hour. The allies havirg convinced themselves of the imposaibility of overeanitog Ennis* troops by a mere cannonade, withdrew to a distance of II werats preen the town, and on the following day put to sea, making for llarloupol. That ended this fresh act of impotent animosity directed against a p actable and commercial city, which for so many years had supported the West with its splendid wheat— seminal a city that ought to have been sacred for England, France, and especially Sardinia, in remembrance of the last days of the Emperor Altiander, who bad heaped so many beneflu upon that nation. By the mist special favour el God our lose during this bombardment was inconsiderable; a Cossack was killed; the Bub Lieutenant Vakoff, attached to the ha,f battalion in garrison, was severely wounded by two rile bullets in the chest and head; the collegiate &suitor, Baron Franck, attached to the military governor, Count Tolst‘i, received a contusion in the head from the splinter of a shell, and Major Bustnko, the head of the Taganrog police, had his horse killed under him, and himself received a contusion ; twelve men were wounded. Inquiries are being made, so as to ascertain the number of the inhabitants lilted or wounded, and of the houses burned or destroyed. The Journal de St. Petersbourg contains the fol lowing news from the Crimea and the coast of the Sea of Azoff : The journal of the military operations in the Crimea in faced yesterday (June 9), from Aide-de•Camp General Priam Oortehakoff, contains the following details, which 4111111110ite his telegraphic despatch of June 3. Before Sebastopol, from the 29th of May to the 3rd of Jane, the besiegers have maintained but a very feeble cannonade, which it increased fur a bilef interval ((ea June 1 for instance), especially against the Qaarasiine Elation end the adjacent batteries. During Ilse whole of this time our loss has been Witter. 00 wme days not greater than six, and that of the wounded Wye. The enemy was busy in constructing fresh bat teries against the Flagstaff, Central, and Quarantine bastions, and against the Mamelen lunette ; he completed his trenches and actively d on his works in the bays lof Kamiesh and Strelets. The explosions of small mining itibainbers by the enemy against the Flagstaff bastion did u se h.rm, as was previously the case. On our side, we re paired the fortifications, ooastructed two fresh batteries and time lodgments for the tharpshooten, effected a nom municatins between the redoubts of Selinghiask and Tethys* sad advanced considerably the musing works is front of the Central and Qterantine bastions. Oa the 29:b of May, the enemy endeavoured to take one of oar new lodgments near the Belinghiesk redoubt ; but, !wised by the fire of our sharpshooters and of 90 men from Count Diebitsh Zabalkaosky's regiment of infantry, that had come to their stveour, he retired, leavieg In our hands one wounded man and 5 muskets. All was quiet in the detachment of Tchorgoun and before &malaria. In what concerns the operations of the enemy's squadron in the Sea of AILS, the details transmitted to us by • de-de-Camp General Prince Gortchakoff are, for Ms most part, already known by his previous telegraphic &spathes. In general, the entrants of oar enemies into *k sea, announced so bombastically by them, hes been dgnalised merely by the inglorieas devastation of our masts, and the distraction of a few corn-magesines. But la ben had in no respect the influence they anticipated on eM pnersl progress of our operations is the Crimea. This event was not unezmoted by us ; in feet, owing to local circumstance., it was impossible to take measures for the defence of Kerteh, with merely our land forms, spinet my squadrons of the enemy stronger than usual. In case' of • devout being made by c piderable forms the garri- MIS of Kertch and Yenikele had previously received orders to abandon and blow up the batteries of the coast, sou to pre vent their falling into the power of Me enemy loom detriment. Therefore, as he had long expeeted rims Mewl as the' part of the allies against the Sea of &PC, and ss hs. nee withstanding, deemed it immediate to keep I& aides hese In • state of concentration, rather than disperse it fee guarding all the coast-line, Prince Gort• bakoff had made arrangements for having the greater part of the p Daisies; destined for the troops in the Crimea beeleght to them by land, notwithstanding all the advantages possessed by water-carriage. In compasses among the cern mew sines and the ships burned by t his enemy along the sass of the Sea of Asa!, there was but • small number of those intended for carrying provisions for the troops. At this int, as last year in the Sallie it has been the private property of individuals that has chiefly suffered from the cruelty of the enemy. After making its appearance, as is well known, before Berdiansk, Gueeitchi, and Arabs?, the allied squadron made the town of Taganrog, celebrated (Jr its corn trade, the new goal of its operations. bat here also this squadron met with unespeeted resistance. The town was held by • weak detachment of troops, under the superior eciemnand of Lieut.-Gen. Krasnoff.

It is strange that the two regimental officers upon whom had devolved the greatest amount of responsi bility, who must have suffered the most anxiety, and generally exercised the most personal exertion during the campaign, should have remained hitherto unre warded—l mean the Lieutenant-Colonel Commanding and the surgeon. Take, fur example. Colonel Eger ton. and Surgeon Macartney, of the 77th Regiment, who died lately, one from wounds received in action, the other from disease contracted in attending wounded in hospital. Colonel Egerton bad served upwards of a quarter of a century ; had purchased and paid heavily for all his step of promotion ; had, according to universal testimony, from the Com mander-in-Chief down to the drummer-toy of his regiment, toiled hard for the good of the men entrusted to his keeping, and yet when he died had not received one shadow of a reward. He had seen captains in the staff unnumbered—men leading • life of comparative ease—converted into field officers, majors converted into lieutenant-1 colonels, and general officers of one grade promoted to a grade still higher, but he remained as he was. In no instance had he himself or his regiment missed an opportunity of doing distinguished service. It is true his Crimean medal, with the Alma and Inkermann clasp, will be transmitted to his old lather; but it must not be forgotten that with Colonel Egerton's death was lost to his family all the property he had invested in gaining the position Ahich he had held and fulfilled so nobly. What can the medal to his family be but a memento of • sad, irreparable loss, and of ill-requited services ? I Again, look at the cue of Dr. Mscartney. As regi mental surgeon he had served with his regiment throughout the conflict with pestilence and disease is Balgaria ; he had struggled against the difficulties arising from insufficient supplies of medicines, medical sestorts, and all that was necessary for the proper treatment of the sick ; he had braved all the danger of the campaign ; had worked hard, in concert with Colonel Egerton, in meeting and counteracting the severe trials of the winter before Sebastopol; and at last, injured in constitution by work and expo sure, he had succumbed to an accident Wei dental to his professional duties. And what reward did he get ? What did he ever receive, bat a share of that,ochum which has been entailed on the medical officers at large by mismanagement and administrative neglect, from which he himself suffered, but had no means of resisting, much less of prevent-1 ing ? What can the medal carry to his family bell recollections of neglect and wrong? It can hardly have been intended by our country that the distribs tion of its favours should have been so partial as they have hitherto been, and as the examples of Colonel Egerton and Dr. Macartneystrikingly illustrate. RUSSIA. The Itaralide Russ publishes the following under the heading " News from the Gulf of Finland:" Major.Geoeral M etrassenki, commander of the detach• meat between St. Petersburg end Wyborg, has announced that co th¢ 26Lli 314 (7th Jule), about 3 p.m., an English steam frigate (which woi probably reconnoitring the pea sties between the roofs near th e Gull of )leryborg), approached the coast of the village of Kazis:, distant about thirty vents from Wyborg. Received on this point by the ire of some of our field piece., the enemy moved I ff, skirt ing the cow, and paestog in front of the village of Koorki ; out Col. d'Eogni.no, of the regiment of reserve of the Vol hynie Guseds,who commanded the detachment at Mastic, followed the enemy's vessel by the road along the beachorith two c tainted. s of his regiment and four guns of the re serve battery No. 3of the Guard. The English frigate, having arrived opposite the yaws of Ki.kul, took up a lonia a at 400 analog. from the abut., and opened fire upon :he village. Colonel d'Engnianu, taking up an mitten •ewous position with Lis detachment, opened the fire of his field gun', alt ough the enemy was Bring broadsides. At 6 p m the enemy having probably received some damage, putt out of range of our guns, and soon afterwards disap peared in the direction of Tronssund. This attempt of the .Letey, which only caused us the loss of two men wounded, did no other damage. SPORTING. A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Strahan, and Bate. was held at the Law Institution on Tues day, to consider the step to be tams to secure a foil inves tigation of the petition remedy opened in bankruptcy. Between flyby and slaty persons were present, nearly the whole of whom are competed with the legal prefessiom. The shalt was taken by Mr. Loa. It was agreed to sup port the choice of mignon proposed, namely, Mr. Earwig, an accountant and navy spat, and Mr. Montagu Tatham, a proctor, sad adding the name of Mr. Appleyard, of Lin cola's-ion. Surprise was esusiesed that the partners should on Sitar hay, the 9th inst., have continued to pay out over the coon tet, knowing that they were on the eve of etoppieg. Triad they closed their doors on the Saturday histud el on the Monday the general body of creditors would have participated in a sum of 20,0001., instead of ' ftMat 2,0001., which remained in the till when the dicer of the Court of Bankruptcy took possession. The Muse was kept open to the very last minute, and net opened on Monday, the 11th inst., for the simple noun that they had no funds to open with. A bankers' meeting was hold on Friday, the Bth instant, to take into consideratiu the expediency, or otherwise, of giving assistance to the house, and the result of their deliberations was not to grant them any aid. It is said that the interests ar the firm in the Trench lines of railway are of considerable value if properly mansged. One of the partners has been in Paris this last week, to see after the interests of the creditors in this respect. ♦ question will arise in the course of , he proceedings which are to tau place in the Coen of Baakruptey whether, If an 7 customer of the bank drew out on the Friday or the Saturday previous to the closing of the house, on some " gentle hint" of what was about to take place, the court will not cause him to refund the whole for the benefit of the general body of creditors. A .other meeting of creditors of the bankruptcy was held yesterday at the ernes of Mr. Brandon, solicitor, of 15, Bwexetreet, Strand, for the purpose of considering what steps should be pursued with respect to the position of creditors, and to go about further proceedings . Reference was made to the meeting of Tuesday, with the results of which the creditors present seemed to be satisfied. A creditor present said that be paid money into the bank a few minutes before payment was stopped. Another gentle man stated that money was received from him at three o'clock ; and a fourth stated that at eleven o'clock in the morning of stopping it was known that the com mittee of bookers in the City had refused to grant them credit. A cue was related of one gentleman who had de- posited all the mocey he had in the world in the bank, and was about to be d, having given instructions for the withdrawal of the money, ►ut the cheque was stopped. The solicitors in tke locelity,both themselves and client', are heavy sufferers. The great truth to be arrived at was, how so many persons could menage to draw out their balances whilst other cheques were delayed. One noble• men had received the Lint the day before, and managed to draw out 6,00 W. A number of eases of the greatest hardship were detailed. The meeting laving express, d itself anxious that the affairs of the bankruptcy should be sifted to the last item, without respect to other feelings than the interests of the suffering creditors, tendered their thanks to Mr. Brandon, and separated. CRIMINAL CHARGE AGAINST MESSRS. STRAHAN, PAUL, AND BATES, THE BANKERS, AND ESCAPE OF Slit JOHN DEAN PAUL FROM CUSTODY. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Robert Makin Bates, the third partner in the firm of Strahan, Paul, and Co., banker., of 218, Strand, was placed at the bar, at Bow.strett, ' before Mr. Jardine, to answer the charge of having, in con junction with M . Sunken and Paul, unlawfuliy sego tiated or otherwise disposed of certain deeds or securities, of the value of 8,0001, which had been entrusted to them for auk keeping ►y Dr. Griffith.. It appears that, upon the private application of Mr. Bodkin, the:counsel for the:prosecutor, the magistrate issued warrants for the apprehension of the three defendants on Tuesday afternoon. They were at ordie placed in the hands of Blundell sad Ticknor, the warrant officers attached to the court, who taking their instructions from Mr. Humphries, the solicitor of Dr. Griffith., proceeded to execute them in private clothes. Mr. Bates was apprehended the same evening at halt put 7, at 41, Norlolk•atreet, Strand, after which the officers started by the Brighton railway for Nutfield, near Reigate, the country residence of Sir John Dean Paul. They found Sir Jinn at home, and unneeded in serving the warrant upon him, but it being too late to return to London the same night, ,they allowed their pri . BIBURY CLUB RACES.—WiDSSAIDAT.

Accordingly they conducted the prisoner e• Wednesday morning from his residence at Nutfield to the Reigate station. a distance of • few miles, arriving at the latter barely in time to save the train. Tickets were procured hurriedly for the three, and, according to the statements of the warrant officers, the train was actually is motion when Sir John took his seat in a second class carriage. The constables were in the act of following him into the same carriage, when a railway potter pulled then back, eaclaimiog, " The train is in motion, and you can't get in." The officers replied, " We are police constables. He is our prisoner, and we must accompany him. Resist us at your peril!" To this the porters merely rejoined that they were only carrying sot their orders " to prevent any one entering • carriage while the train was in motion," and having closed the carriage-door against the officers, the train went off without them. The constables state that they immediately represented the facts to the superintendent, and showed him their authority, but he refused to " signal" the train to stop, although consenting to send a telegraphic message to the London station. This was done by desire of the officers, who proceeded to town by the next up-train, which reached London-bridge only ten minutes after the one tl ey had missed. Oa inquiry, however, of the station-mater at London-bridge, if their prisoner had been detained, he replied that he did not know Sir John Paul by tight, and of course, therefore, had taken no steps in the matter. The police officers, who had been in some measure disarmed by Sir John's suavity of manner, had thus the mortification of finding that their prisoner had effectually escaped; and throughout the day no trace of him could be hound. They were also unsuccessful in their pursuit of Mr. Btr►han, who was expected to keep en appointment at the bank, but who did not make his apyearance, although , anxiously looked for throughout the day. Under these circumstances, Mr. Ballutine, counsel for Mr. Bathe, after waiting some time in expectation that the charge would be proceeded with, stated that he had other engagements to attend to, and, in the absence of any ex planation of the cause of delay, proposed that the ease should be sill farther deferred till his return. Mr. Jardine consented to this arrangement, and at • later period of the day, Mr. Ballantine suggested that the case should stand over for • day or two, for the convenience of all parties.

Strahan, Paul, and Co., of which firm he is unfortunately a partner ; although not, I believe, in the same position as the other partners in the establishment. It is alleged, I understand, that these deeds are not fortheour ing. Ido not pretend at present to answer a charge which has been only vaguely stated, although I believe the malt of any inquiry which may be made into this matter hereafter will satisfactorily slim that my client was ignorant of ell the loudness transactions in copnezion with these deeds, sad war, in feet, abroad at the time of the alleged negotiations. Still, painful as it is to him to be placed in his present' position, I am aware that the case is one of such magnitude and importance as to forbid the hope that you will discharge ' him from custody at ones. Be is willing, therefore, that the case should stand over till to-morrow or neat day, when I shall be prepared to meet the charge on his behalf. Mr. Jardine considered the applicatioe a very reasonable one under the circumstances, sad the learned gentlemen who had the conduct of the prosecution must be informed of the arrangement. The defendant, who apple ired upwards of 60 years of age, was then removed from the dock, and was taken sithie• quently to the Hones of Detention.

Ha stated that Mr. Bodkin and the witnesses *mild be shortly is attendance, but under standing that an arrangement had been made at the 'eggs► lon of Mr. Ballantine for the postponement of the ease till Friday, be should not think it right or courteous to go into the particulars of the charge in the absence of that gen tleman. The court was already aware of this nature of that eharae, which was made under a peculiar s cute, end re lated to a number of Dutch bonds which Dr. Grifiths bed deposited with his bankers, Messrs. &nano, Paul, sad Co., fur safe custody, and which had been since disposed of without his authority. He hope.' the msgistrate would not suspect him of any disrespect to the coast, as even the sates. sage he had Just noticed bed not come to him officially. The magistrate assured Mr. Humphries, who was always punctual, that no apology was necessary from him, but he was still at a loss to know why he had not received some communication from the officers in whose hands the war- rants were placed. Mr. Burnaby said this might be accounted for by the fact that Sir John Paul having escaped from their custody, they had been ever since as the look out for him. Mr. Humphries said the explanation was quite satis factory. Mr. Bodkin and the witnesses for the prosecution having been afterwards apprised of the above arrange• inept, it was agreed that the defendant should be brought up again on Friday afternoon. Mr. Jardine said that no injury would result to any one from the adoption of this course, as it is just what must have happened, in all probability, owing to the non-appearance of the other defendants. Mr. Botts could be brought up again on Friday, and farther remanded, if necessary, it being undesirable, perhaps, to proceed with the cue in the absence of the other partners in the firm. The above proceedings were taken under the act 7th and Bth 01003.

APPREHENSION OF MK. STRAHAN. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Shortly after the disposal of the night charges Mr. Williams Straiten, the first partner in the firm of SWAM, real, and Blots, the banters, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Hall, charged with having, in conjunetiet with his partners, unlawfully di.poted of secu ' . , Re., to the value of 22,0001., the property of Dr. Griffith, of Rochester. Mr. Humphries, in the absence of Mr. Bodkin, appeared for the prosecution, sod stated that it wu only his wish ter take the evidence of Dr. Griffith, shortly, in order to justify the detention of the priuner until Friday, to which day Mr. Bates, the third partur in the firm, had been rem►nded by Mr. Jardine. Dr. Griffith, who appeared deeply ,Motel, was then or stained. He stated that he was a doctor of divinity, re tiding at R echester, and had kept an account at the bank of Strahan, Paul, and Co., for many years. He directed Mr. Sootiest to purchase certain b ado and securities for him, some time ago, and had since had many communications with the firm upon the subject of these securtdes, both i orally and in writteg. They were deposited at the bank MR WA custody. They consisted cif 15),0)0 Dutch guilders, 'Perth between 7,0001. and 8,0001. ; ten thousond Danish beads in the Tnree per Cents., worth ab ut 8,0001 ; five hundred similar bonds in the Five per Centt., and other securities, amounting altogether, in value, to 22,0001. (This was independent of his own private account at the bank an t the dividends which the firm received on his behalf, and which, although lost to him, formed no part of the pre sent inquiry—not being a criminal matter.) The Doctor proceeded to state his knowledge of the fact lb .t these mu , . !Hies bad been pledged or sold, without Ira authority, and added, in reply to Mr. Humphrier, that he was fully pre pared to go into all the particulars of the cue, whenever Galled upon to do so. Mr. Bollantine stated that be attended as counsel for Mr. Stratton, although not instructed by the solicits' of M►. Bates, for whom he appeared yesterday. He did not intend to offer any opposition to the pro posal to remand his client, and, indeed, until he had investicated the circumstances, he was not prepay , d to say that he should act as counsel in both eases—as it may tura out that the transactions are distinct in their character. He only wished to state, on behalf of Mr. Strahan, that be bad sever evinced any disposition to keep out of the way of the warrant officers with the notion of avoiding the consequences of this inquiry. Whether they might prove to be ultimately, he was prepared to meet them, and directly it came to his knowledge that a warrant was eat aesiost him, he proceeded to Mr. Ferree, the solicitor of Dr. Graffiti', in order to surrender !sloven' if necessary. It was true that Mr. Strahan was taken lait night at the house of a friend, but he inttaded to have came to Bow•street this morning. The prisoner WAS then remanded accordingly.
