Now is tht , time for England to show herself in oarneht *Sour tbe war. The events of the last fort night may rearonably be regarded as prognostic of far gr, liter victories end of additional looms to both oar brays A;lies and our own rotors. There can be no doubt but that when detailed despatches resperting the battle of the Tchernaya are received, we @ball find that the defeat of the enemy on the 16th iu•t. h i. bten a much severer lesson for him than Was at drat atiticiptcd. Even Prince GORTCLI4KOII --clever as he has hitherto shown himself at tossing the best of • bid story, and the worse appear the better reason—a military Jesuit of the Russian creed —even Gutereneisore Ott ms at his wits' ends to make matters pleasant in the despatches prepared for his Imperial master. "To day," he writes, "part of our troops creased the Tchernaya, aod attacked the heights calle I 'rediouchine. Having encountered very c ins derabie firzes"—even the Russian dares not say this time that the Allies were superior in number to the attacking army—"we withdrew to the right bank. after an obstinate fight." The A B C of this is, that the writer mad the immense miss of troops be commanded, attempted to drive b.ck their opponents, but were themselves comp. lied to retreat, and place the river between them and their gal.ant enemy. So tar the Cesa's lieutenant tells his tele with merely that suppression of the naked truth which • decent regard for his mutter feelings would dictate. But, in the !text sentence, the l'amee returns to his old trade, and labours bard, In a few well-timed words, to prove that, Hun all, there was a something wanting on our side, which might be construed into a fear of advanc ing against the invincible hosts of Muscovites. He announces that, oo the right bank of the Tchernsys, his army "awaited the advance of the enemy for four hoard," but that, "as they did not move for ward," the Fittece and his troops " returned to their former position." Bassi' and her friends—Bugliali, French, and German—should be congratulated upon this new achievement in modern tactics. Hitherto, the world at large has been under an impres aim that waiting to give the enemy battle was an act of heroism only to be met with in the annals of the Crusad-rs, or in a history of Dow Qui.role's wandering.. But we have now learned better. Here we have a Russian army of 60.000 men—not com mands(' by their own chief —. l - I PRANDI, but whom the generalissimo in the Crimea comes oat of the besieged fortress to encourage and lead to what he considers certain victory—after being re-1 pulsed with enormous slaughter by a force little more than half their own strength, and losing 10 per teat. of their men as prisoners, first putting the river between themselves and theirenemies, sod then turn ing round with the exclamation, o G ime on, here we are ready to fght you." Goarcnatioree moor tete, and the heaved bravery of his forces, will be bee. understood by the schoolboy who runs away after a sound thrashing, and when in a place of safety, taunts hie ecemy to repeat the chastisement. Really, the EXPV.IIOII% lieutenant ought to have thought twice before he pot upon paper what will surely make Lim the laughing stock of every soldier in Europe. A more distinct confession of defeat, cou pled with an awkward attempt to prove that defeat a virtual victory, never appeared in the despatches of any Commander; and from the very compusit ion of the docutneut we confidently expect that when the whole troth is known, even greats: praise than has hitherto been given them will be awarded to the armies of our bravo Allies—the French and Sardinians. Already there is a report flying about, that General Simesoa has, in a private telegraphic despatch to the War-office, called the battle of the Tchernaja "en Alms and lukermann united," in which the small Italian army, with four divisions of the French, beat back atone of more than twice their united strength. The news of this great victory was, if possible, received with more pleasure in London, because achieved by others than our own troops. An Bagbahtnan, in his love for fair play, delight* that others as well as himself should io their turn distinguish themselves. The French have done to scores of times—against us in former wars, side by side with us now. But the Sardinian force was • maiden army, so far as the present con flict is concerned; and the rejoicing in Mislead has been great and sincere, that our Italian Allies have bad an opportunity of proving themselves as valorous as we believed them to he. Prince GORTCHAIWIPIP _ _-------- - could not possibly have done the cause foe which the Weerern Alliance is figh.ing a greater benefit than by giving the Sardinian army that confidence in themselves, and the French, English, and Turkish Generals that future reliance upon their bravery, stitch must result from the victory they mainly helped to gain upon the !sinks of the Tcher nsya. The Italian band in the Crimea were soldiers ; thanks to GUILICEIAKOFF, they are now warriors. Nor, it we tura from the army guarding Balaklava to that in the trenches before Sebastopol, shall we have less cause to rejoice. In his letter of the Bth intact, wnit.h we published yesterday, our Corre spondent writes: " We are nearly 300 yards nearer to the town than we were on the 18th June, and our Allies are within 60 yards of the ditch of the Malt kholf, and 30 yards of the Little Redan." With such approaches, by slow, yet sure and certain steps, the fall of the eolith part of Sebastopol can be bat a question of titre. The long-expected news of a' successful assault may reach England to-night, to morrow, or a month hence, but reach us it must, and that ere the world is much older. Although, as we pointed out the other day, nothing will justify the Government in not making due preparations to winter a large army outside Sebastopol—for teething short of being prepared for every possible contingency as well as every prubahle event will satisfy the country—yet there can be little doubt but that a great portion of our troops in the Crimea will enter the fortress as conquerors before the next frost sets is. Our lessons at the beat of war have been fearful, and —thanks to a large leaven of administrative incapacity in all oar military departments—the loss of lite enormous. Let ea, however, forget what is past, and look forward to a better future. New is the time for England to show herself in earnest, and if Minis ters are faithful in their stewardships. the voice of our people will be heard before the walls of Sebasto pol. We must not sit down and think that, because we have sorted well, enough has been done in the good muse. As to the besieging army belongs the work of fighting, so OUTS is the task of keeping the Executive up to their work. In oar hands is the power to mows 'diary, amid attar *tory as boaoar able and a lasting peace. The night has been long, but the longest night mast terminate, andalreedy the approaching dawn is distinctly visible. . . i Tar Polies Authorities of Dundee t bave jest en tend upon • couree of coadiscit of very qesationable propriety indeed, but which may probably be intended as • practical experiment made in order to discover the solution of that important social problem—how to employ the large body of females who wart work but cannot get it. The polies seem boldly endeavouring to solve the problem by subsidising females, and using them u spies. A few days back a warm discussion took place at the Police Board of the town regarding the operation of the Pablie Houses Act. The subject of the discussion was the propriety of the payment of some motley to a female who had been a witness against unliornsed dealers in spirituous liquors. In the mune of the discussion it wee proved that the woman was employed ►y the police for the purpose of entrapping dealers in spirits into of enoss against the Public Howes Act. Provost Ronan, and other mem bers of the Board, stood up stoutly for the respect ability of this woman, who was willing to get drunk, or incur the hazard of arriving at a state of drunkeoness, for the patriotic purpose of exposing surreptitious vendors of whiskey. She certainly received money for giving evidence, but she was nevertheless a " respectable" woman. Destitute dressmakers, starving shirtmakers, weary waistcoat stitcher', needy needlewomen of all kinds —hear this! A field of usefulness is opened to you by which money is to be gained, and respectability may remain intact. The work may appear dirty. You will have to enter into houses of sus picions character perhaps, upon false pretences; you will run the risk of getting into that state which will warrant your friends the police in giving you a lodging in the station-house; but never mind; you will lose nothing of your respectability. What a pity that HOOD'S sempstress had not lived in "Bonny Dundee." True, we should have lost "The Song of the Shirt;" but the heroine might have gained a " respectable" living by becoming a DALILIII of the pot-house. Do the sages of Dundee understand the magnitude of the evil which may be the result of the custom which they are introducing ? If it is right and proper that the police should subsidise females for one purpose, there is no reason to be alleged against the use of them for many other purposes. The police, who are not employed as spies themselves, may thus have an army of female agents who will do the work of espionage equally well. Thus, though the inhabitants of this empire are pluming themselves that their police is employed solely for the protection of property and the detection of crime, whilst the miserable inhabitants of continen tal States groan under the domination of a police in which every man is a spy—they will be, in tact, under a strict petticoat surveillance. The whole practice is au utter contradiction to our habits and manners, although it is true that a few circumstances which have happened lately may seem to show a tendency in the police authorities to introduce 'similar practices into England. If it is once admitted that the employment of spies in ordinary cases is necessary, an opening will be made foe the conversion of the police into a political engine, which will be as powerful a tool in the hands of our Government as the police under the direction of FOUCHE was in the hands of the Government of France. The police then, instead of being respented as the guardians of property, will be hated and feared as the agents of a suspicious Government. The moral support which the polio, derive from the general impression that they ren der us important merlons will be lost, when it is felt that they may easily be employed, and per lisps are employed, in the most odious of services. The effect of this will be demoralising. When the police become hated or feszed,sy m pat by will be excited on behalf of offenders against whom they are obliged to ed. Crime will lose some of the horror it ought to inspire, and law some of that reverence which is its due. We need not dwell upon these possible cones quences, how, ver, because we can scarcely hope that the examples of the SOLONS of Duodee will be conta gious. Nevertheless, it is right to expose the least ' tendency to nuke a change contrary to the very spirit of the constitution in any of our public insti tutions. The principal evil to be apprehended at Dundee, should the practice alluded to prevail in that town, is the effect upon the poor women whe are to degrade themselves that the police may " sit at home at ease." In order to save a policeman trouble, a woman who, according to Provost Rowse, is " re spectable " is to enter one of those houses which, according to numerous authorities, had better never I be entered at all. To listen to many police magis trates, you might imagine that the crossing of the threshold of a public-house is of itself a sin. But the respectable woman is bribed to enter into one of these houses of the very worst clue. She ap pears there under false pretenoes. She drinks some of the very liquor which her supe riors denounce. She is surrounded by the wont' , ohar•,cters. She thus obtains the desired proof, ten- 1 days her evidence the next day, and receives her hardly earned money. She then goes home to be reviled by her neighbours as an informer—to be avoided as an unclean thing. The very name "spy" stinks in the nostrils of the British nation. A natural instinct tells them, what is proved by the practice of Continental nations, that under the spy system each man is afraid of his neighbour, and that society is thus loosened and demoralised. The poor woman who has been the secret agent of the police is the victim of this hatred of spies. It will be imp •esible for her to maintain her position long. She will return willingly to such haunts as she formerly visited through nuessity. The money she has received to betray the vendor of spirits will go heck to himor to sots of his brethren, and the" re spectable" woman will Sod that what she hoped might help her to rise in the world, will assist in her degra dation. The polka will thus have added one more to the clue who give them the most trouble, while at the same time they will have acquired for themselves the odium which always follows the employment of ben mesas for the attainment of as end, however good. This is not all. Experience teaches us that wb the spy system prevails, the greater is the increase of the particular crimes. for the suppression of which the system is established. Conspiracies are ever hatching in the countries where no man is sure that his neighbour is not a spy over his words and action,. Robberies are never more frequent than in places where the police employ thieves to be spies on each other. The spy, too, is obliged to do something to earn his money. If the political spy cannot detect a conspiracy, he will hatch one. It the ordinary spy cannot detect a robbery he will plan one, to prove to his employers that he is not idle. These are a few of the effects of that system which the polies of Dundee wish to inaugurate. The inhabitants of the town will do well to crash tberril in the bud, and not allow the introduction of as innovation which may lead to desolating malts.

I.lader date at Asg. 1, Admiral Krosetehoff, the military governor of Archangel, sends the following details relative to the movements and operations of the enemy's fleet in the White Sea " let.—The English steamer which approached the Island of Z isfsky on June 29 returned with a French steamer on July 3. The report addressed to Admiral Hroustehoff by the Abbot of the &towns Idonsstery, upon the three days' einem of enemy, will be totted below. "2nd. Tho vessels detached from the enemy's fleet have tsintinued to cruise before the villages of the west, aban don d f the most part by the Inhabitants, and to can nonade them. It was thus that, at the end of heavy can noosed's, the village of Stretna and the hamlet of Idegra became the prey of flames. " 3rd. The enemy's attempts to penetrate to the interior, even to a short distance from the bank, are still insure( ss ' tel. For instance, on Jane 2.5 the peasants of the hamlet N.jnisi. Zolotites received a boat pushed by oars, which ascended the river of Zolotitsa, witb a fire of musketry, and compelled it to return to a steamer which was is view, and which then opened a fire against the hamlet." In the report referred to, the Abbot narrates the particulars of an interview with some officers of our fleet, held under a flag of truce. By his own showing the English jieldtd to his entreaties, but the tone of his report to the Russian Admiral proves that the indulgence awakened within him no feelings of gratitude. BOMBARDMENT OF RIGA: WWII OUR 011114 CORRIMPONDINT.) HAMBURG, Ago. 20. Private letters received here from Riga state that about four o'clock on the morning of the 10th inst., two English steamers—a line-of-battle ship and a frigate—appeared off that port, and about an hoar later, whelp at a distance of 1,500 yards, they opened a heavy fire on the coast batteries, and the division of gunboats anchored before them. The cannonade lasted for more than an hour, and about nine they stood out to sea, apparently in chase of a vessel that was sailing down the coast of Lieflacd. About three in the afternoon they came in again and renewed their bombardment at five o'clock, which lasted till dark, when they again proceeded to sea, and, up to the date of the letters, had not appeared again. A few of the guns were dismounted in the batteries, other wise the cannonade does not appear to have done much damage. THE CRIMEA. PARIS, TUZSDAT. The Siam* which left Constantinople on the 13th inst., has arrived at Marseilles. The advises from the Crimea are to the 11th. A despatch in the Patrie states that Omer Pacba was to leave Constantinople for the Crimea on Mon day last.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. HER MAJESTY'S MOVEMENTS IN PARIS. (mom OUR 0 11, 1 % C R O I R ti r T :OLD: N y T x ) . vaNtme. Her Majesty left St. Cloud, on an running to Versailles, at an early hour this morning. T wo of your special correspondents, who went thither in ho t suite, will inform you of all that occurred. Up t o the hour at which I write, I have only heard that the Royal and Imperial party arrived at Versailles at 11 o'clock. Her Majesty, accompanied by the Emperor and the two Courts, ascended the Escalier o'honneur, walked through the Grand Saloon of Louis XIV, the gallery of the Empire, and the Salon dr' Gism o , and then descended to the terrace, whets the ca r . sieges were in waiting to convey them to Trianon-v a distance of less than halt a mile. There luncheon was prepared. Her Majesty will doubtless have enjoyed this fine day by taking a walk in the ground; and will not have failed to penetrate from the garde% of the Grand Trianon to the beautiful Jardin Anglai s of the Little Trianon, which was the delight of Maria Antoinette. At the Grand Opera, this evening, all gentleme n were in full there. The prioe of places had not been augmented, but to obtain a ticket was neat to an impossibility. A stall would willingly be taken it the price of 250 fr. The Queen, the Emperor, and Priooe Albert will visit the Exhibition Palace to-morrow, at eleven o'clock, and on Friday at three. Prince Albert will also proceed there on Thursday, bat alone. In order to avoid the inconveniences muted by too great an influx of the public, it has been decided that during those three drys only the members of the Imperial Commieeion, the foreign commissioners, the mem ben of the juries, the exhibitors, and the holders of season tickets shall be admitted. The whole of the Royal party enjoy most perfect health. Her Msjesty and Prince Albert pursue their custom of early rising and open air exercise in the morning. Preparations are being made most actively for the grand fete on Saturday next, and workmen are en• gaged fixing in place the most samp , uous articles of furniture. The ball will take place in the Wide des Glaces ; and the Salle de l'ol era is intended for the nipper. The buffet will be placed in the Salle der Tione. A display of fireworks, on a gigantic scale, will be discharged from the southern ex , rernity of the piece of water of the Suieses, betore the eques trian statue of Curtin. One of the pieces will inn. sent Windsor Castle. Moorish illuminations will be arranged in front of the Bassin de Leone. " The public health at Paris (says the Union Medi cate) continues in the moat satisfactory state. De. spite the high temperature, the great increase of the population, and the influx of strangers, we peter remember so small a number of deaths or so little illness." Business at the Bonree has been heavy all dsy. The Rente which, however, was a little firmer st the closing than at first, closed at 671 r. 5c., with a tall of 20c. Railways were from 2Fr. 50c. to str. lower. The l issue of the New Loan paper commenced to-day at the Treasury. Considerable dissatisfaction is felt at the de. termination of the Treasury, which seems to be quite unexpected, not to return to subscribers for I,ooofr. Rente and under the proportional part of their deposit representing the difference between the amount of the loan applied for and the amount granted. This amount will be retained to answer the monthly calls, and will suffice to meet all the payments up to floe, 1656. This proceeding is considered very extraordi nary, and not warranted by the terms of the loan. PARIS, TUESDAY Num. This morning the Queen visited Versatility, and this evening the Grand Opera. The enthusiaem us boundless. The Empress was present. THE STATE OF SEBASTOPOL. The following letter from St. Petersburg appears in the Schleisch Zeitung: ST. PiTERSLURO, AVO. 8. If we carefully peruse the reports of the Privy C-uncillor Mansurtff, to whom, as is known, the juin etion of the treatment of the sick and wounded belonging to the marine force in the Crimea has been coafided, not from the eatracte in the newspapers; but, from the lull accounts in the See Magazin, it will to seen that, as far back as the middle of July, to which date these reports have reached us, the state of health in Sebastopol must have become materially worse. In pee week of June the daily increase of sick is given as 100 ; in July u 60 and mire.' If we take into considera tion that this has only reference to the naval force, whose strength since the beginning of the siege has dwindled to at least one-half, this would give about 15 percent. of sickness in a month. Cholera and typhus prevail to a great extent, es many officers have fallen a sacrifice to them. From these reports will also be seen bow bad the position of the de fenders had already become after the capture of the re doubts on the 7th of June, as the former hospitals and tem porary places for attending to the wounded were exposed to the hostile fire, and were obliged to be cleared. However, much has been done to direct all the wounded capable of being moved, drat to the nort► side, and then to the valley of the Belbek, in order is gain room. A new bombardment must greatly increase all former difficulties and disasters. The progress of the besiegers after the taking of thine redouble is also observable in the hate, according to which persons are stated to be killed or wounded in those parts of the town which were formerly considered quite safe. The progress of the enemy's approaches seems to be par ion- Orly dangerous to the officers, who are more exposed to the riflemen, and the number of their wounded in those days when the bombardment was weal: or had stopped is out of all proportion to the wounded. Among the inmates of the hospitals are at present the two celebrated Osptains of the first class Budischtscheff end Jarkowski ; and the well-known commander of the redoubt between the third and fourth bastions, which had received its name from him, Lieutenant .3chertrz, was so ill that he was obliged to be taken to Nieolaieff, where the surgeons booed to save his hie. The sailors are still unshaken, and the chief of the Sisters of Charity in Sebastopol sap., in a letter in which she describes the horrors of the bombard ment. and relates several interesting traits of the wounded and of those men who carried them out of the boordtala amid the most terrible bail of bells—' Then 1 saw 'that it does not require a great deal to encourage our gloriithe Rus sian soldiers; a good glare of brandy, a few friendly words, and they are happy, and forget both pain and hardertip.'" The Spanish journals publish the note in which the Pope. Envoy announced his recall, and demanded his passports. It le as follows :—" The series of acts which bare liken place in Spain against religion and the church, sod is violation of the solemn treaty conMu led in '32 between the government of her Catholic Majery and the lllly See, and the failure of the reclamation* and reiterated protests addressed to this government in the name of the Church, have placed the Holy Father under the painful necessity of putting en end to this mission of his represen tative in this kingdom. The undenioted, chupti 4'OIICM of the Holy See, has consequently received orders so quit the Peninsula, and return to Rome. He therefore begs your Eacellency to be so good as to send him his passports. He regrets haying to make this disagreeable commeuication to your Excellency, and hes the hooour to renew the assisreoee of the most distinguished oonsideratioe.—ALl ANDRE FRANCIII.
