Tins Mr —Wards& M. 42.. kfteraces. 412. re.lnewsw—llards& Sm. LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18. Tue order of the day in which the Emperor of Bosom has communicated to his army the news of the fall of Sebastopol le exactly what was to be expssted. Either the Runtime is conscious that detest is impending over him, or be is not. Hie wish in the first case is to fall with dignity and decorum; is the second, to show that he is seaweed by what he considers a mere casual reverse. The heir of a monarchy is taught from infancy to maintain a de rumour of dignified impassibility under all circum stances, and to act such a part on the throne becomes second nature with him. ALEXANDER 11. has proved himself au apt scholar of each a school. His words are firm, temperate, and decorous, though they are essen tially false. He imams that Russia is le arm. to pro. tect her religion, honour, and independence. Not one of the three has been threatened. The war has been forced upon the Western Powers to prevent Russia from trampling dawn the independence of her neigh. boars. This is not to threaten the honour of Russia, for there is no honour in unjust aggression. It has been proposed that the faith of the Russian people should be undermined, or their ritual wor ship interfered with. And as to the independence of Russia, it will be respected if she re spects the independence of other countries. But the sovereign of Russia—at least in so far as his words can be assumed to be an index of his thoughts—is not yet prepared to confess that he has been in the wrong, and to accept of peace on the condition of giving guarantees for his future good behaviour. He exhorts his soldiers to repel every attempt to violate the sanctity of the Russian territory. Our main un even is to discover whether the EMPEROR and his councillors are prepared to act up to these bold words. We believe they are. We believe, indeed, that despondency already pervades a large pro portion of the Russian population a de spondency which privations will in doe time exacerbate into mutiny. But as yet the proud and reckless faction which is in the ascendant in the councils of Russia is wilfully blind to this fact. It is from the characters of these men that the course they will pursue must be inferred. They are rude in sentiment ea the iron-banded barons of the middle ages; they are wooled and voluptuous as tlje courtiers of Imperial Rome ; they are ambitious, avaricious, and daring as the pro-consuls of the Roman Republic at the height of its power. Their exclusive study has been the art of war, and they fondly deem themselves masters in it. Their private estates are overbur dened with loans from their Government at usurious interest. They can only obtain the mesas of maintaining that parade and of in dulging is that luxury which are the end and aim of their existence, by having conquered pro vinces subjected to their rule as governors. The , systematic encroachments of Russia upon her neigh bours are less owing to the ambition of her Soul ., reigns than to the bankruptcy and ungovernable ,: appetites of those nobles who take an active part in politics. Trained in the ever-changing atmosphere ; of a despotic court, these men are by habit reeking gambierv, who have staked everything on the hazard : sea die—who know and seek for no medium between unbounded power and indulgence, and utter ruin. Intensely selfish, they will not shrink from involving their country in their falL A just and moderate policy which would promote the true interests of Russia, and accelerate the civilisation of her people, would relegate these men to penury and obscurity, and to this they are resolute not to submit. Like SARDA NAPALUS, when they can no longer continue their proud luxurious mode of life, they are daring enough to close it by immolating themselves on the funeral pile of an empire. The CZAR and his more moderate counsellors may be disposed to yield to necessity— the people may be clamorous for peace—but these men will compel both to persist in the war by inaugurating a reign of terror. This is the soiree of the stubborn resistance which the Allies have to look for on the part of Rus sia. It cannot last, but it will be fierce and uncom promising. It can only be put down by bus at arms. Reason and morality have no Mamma is the desperadoes who will goad their Government Me prolong the hopeless struggle in which it is engaged. There is an old and homely proverb, that the bite of a rat is never so venomous as when it is caught in a trap and hopeless of escape. The Allies have the arrogant and unscrupulous dominant power of Russia ma trap—they must be at once prompt and wary if they would disable it from inflicting further evils on the world. Slit CAM.

We extract the following from the letter of one of our Crimean correspondents. We are sure the gentle sot it records will awaken emotions of sympathy is every breast: " An instance of kind and considerate attention oa the part of the Queen has just occurred. Her Majesty has sent a certain number of handkerchiefs, embroidered by herself, or some of the members of the Royal family, to be distributed as presents to the most deserving among the wounded solders in the Crimea.

It is thought that the government will feel it necessary to go back to the old tariff, and continue. at whatever saorifiee, to make up the difference to the baker,. There is a talk of a project for an additional centime on several indirect texts to provide a fund for this purpose. I un derstand that the Emperor has solicited M. Rothschild and M. Foreleg to buy corn abroad. It is very pro bable that a premium on imports will be offered, not withstanding the manifest objections to such an expedient. It is much to be regretted that the official journals, faithful to the system of always giving good news, persisted during the early part of the summer in asserting that the harvest was abundant, and thereby did their utmost to prevent commerce from taking measures in good time to supply the de ficiency which is now admitted. Attention is directed at present to the hard wheat of Algeria, which has not hitherto been used for making bread in France, but which it is said may be had in suffi cient quantities to be a valuable resource. A speci men of bread made from this wheat is exhibited is the gallery of cheap products just opened at the Uni versal Exhibition. The prospectus states that the loaf costs 9 centimes less thaa one made from ordi nary corn. A serious accident occurred this morning on the Rouen railway. The official account says that at half-past four this morning, while the train No. 38 was stopping at the Maisons station, the mail train i from Havre, No. 38, which stops also at that station, came up, and "on account of the slippery state of the rails," was not able to stop in time, although the proper signals were displayed. The engine of the latter train, it is added, struck the last carriage of the first, and some passengers received contu sions, happily not serious. This is probably the first time that the slippery state of the rails has been put forward as an excuse for an accident of this description. A passenger, who gives his name , and address (M. Fieveo, Chemise° d'Autin, No. 8), write* to the Press* that the collision took place in the station, under the eyes of the railway officers, and seemed to him wholly without excuse. He adds that forty persons, several of whom were ladies, received wounds and contusions, and complains that at a station so near to Paris there was not even water to wash their wounds. Fortunately there were in one of the trains two medical men, who offered their services. The Bonne opened very heavily, the Rents, being quoted 300. lower than on Saturday ; but in the after noon there was a indult upward movement, oa the strength of a report that General Liprandi had sur rendered. I have heard nothing authentic to confirm this news:up to the hour at which I write. Another rumour, which I believe to be a canard. was that the Bing of Prussia was dead. The Rents recovered for' the close to yesterday's price, 136 tr. 90c. Credit Mobilier rose 20fr., and Austrian railways lbfr. French railways were generally lower. I believe the Bank of France will not raise its rate of discoant for :be moment. General Bares Fabvier, formerly peer of France, and afterwards member of the Legislative Assembly, expired on Saturday, at his residence in Paris. He was in his 73rd year. The war battalionsof the llth and 31st Regiments, six to all, from the camp of St. Omer, have within the last three days passed through Paris oa their way to Marseilles, to embark for the East. The troops presented a tine appearance, and, in addition to their campaigning kit, carried tents and siege tools. The Bret number of the Litre Recherche, a review conducted by M. Pascal-Duprat, late member of the National Assemblies of France and ex-editor of the Revue halipesulante, has just appeared at Brussels. It is now stated that the Emperor Alexander has given up the idea of visiting Moscow and Warsaw. There is no troth in the report that General Can robert is to replace Marshal Vaillant as Minister of War. M. de Bourqueney will not go on leave of absence. as was stated. Said Pada has arrived at Marseilles. An American vessel has left Marseilles for Ka mused. She takes with her 2,250 tons of munitions of war, projectiles, and provisions, besides a great quantity otwooden shoes for the protection of the troops daring the winter. The City of Baltimore steamer left Marseilla for the Crimea on Saturday, with 75 soldiers on board, 3 officers, and 170 horses. She carried out in tow the huge clipper the Great Republic, having on board 75 soldiers, 6 officers. and 150 hones. The following despatch contains additional news brought by the Louqsor, which, now that Sebastopol is taken, has, in a great measure, lost its interest : General Pelissier was fortifyiog the approaches of Trak tir and the routes terminating at the Mackenzie.

PIEDMONT. Marquis Sauli, the Sardinian Minister Plenipo tentiary to the Court of Tuscany, has arrived at Turin with all the members of the Legation. Hence it would appear that all diplomatic intercourse be tween the two countries has been broken off ; never theless, the Piedineatese Gazette hos hitherto been quite sleet on the subject. BAVARIA. The opening of the Bavarian Chambers took place on the 16ti. in presence of the Bing. The follow's), are the principal points of the speech from the throne : —" The government can announce with satisfaction that pesos has been maintained amongst the Staten of the Germanic Confederation.

These forts, constructed in the style of casemate'', are all armed with three rows of minion, Fort Saint Nicholas alone having 100 guns. The materials need in build ing these forte do not consist of granite, as appears to be generally believed, but of good calcareous stone. The guns of this fort are 68 pounders. Forts Alex ander, Nicholas, and Paul mount together 660 gnus ; they command the port, the tows, and the fanbourg, and the gnus have been arranged in such a manner that the fire of 160 can be concentrated on a single point." A letter from St. Petersburg says Three iron sloops, 80 feet long, were launched here on the 24th alt. The greatest activity prevails in the naval work shops in order to complete the screw vessels without delay. It was from the want of such vessels that the Russian fleet was obliged to remain inactive in pro mo°e of that of the Allies." A letter of the 10th, from Vienna, to the Weser Gazette, says: "That they have no idea whatever at St. Peters burg of giving up the Crimea is confirmed by every letter coming from the Russian metropolis. Prince Oortchskoff, it is said, soot to the Czar a short time back a memorial, in which he not only explains the necessity of holding the Crimes, but undertakes also the task of maintaining this part of the empire so long as it is the Emperor's pleasures, provided the necessary military force is placed at his disposal. On the receipt of this docu ment a conference took place at St. Petersburg, which was attended also by Prince Gortchakoffs principal aide-de-camp, who minutely explained the plans of his chief. The conference consisted of the Em peror, his brothers, Count Orloff, Prince Dol goruki, Count Adlerberg, and Prince Meat chikoff, and the plans of Prince Gortcl....koff were adopted. Ten fresh regiments have a r stly been ordered to proceed to the Crimea, and dirt one have at the some time been issued to concecb a fresh army of 50,000 men at the Prnth, in old , r to complete the entrenchments at Perekop. The Co.sack I regiments from Little Russia are already raised to their full complement, and are now in Simpheropol. They are collecting a new and great park of artillery in Warsaw, but nothing is yet positively known re specting its immediate destination; probably it will also be sent to the Crimea. A letter we have received, speaking of the fortifications round Slew, says that they will be very shortly finished, and describeslthem as being blth extremely solid and durable. Neither money nor labour has been spared to convert this fortress into a place capable of successfully resisting a protracted siege. The ramparts have been repaired, bomb-proof barracks constructed, and towers built on the hills environing the town, which are called the Maximilian Towers.* THE BOUND DUTIES. The National Quetta, of Berlin, of the 13th, says: The Russian government has offered its mediation between the United States and Denmark on the question of the Sound Ditties, and has assured the latter that the United States will take no further step io the matter before the end of the present war. If, at the expiration of the treaty of commerce, no new treaty has been agreed upon, a provisional conven tion 6 to be concluded, adjourning the question to a more favourable time for negotiations of that nature. Negotiations are now in progress at Berlin between the Russian ambassador and the Minister of the United States, on the provisional stipalatiou to be made." THE OVERLAND MAIL. INDIA. We have received our despatches from India by the Overland Mail, of the dates given yes terday in our telegraphic summary of the news. The following is the summary of the liontbaynmes of Aug. 13: The Banthal insurrection, the commencement of which we noticed last mail, is still in progress ; but we know as little now as we did a fortnight since of the causes which led to it, or the catastrophe to which it may yet lead. The insurgents in the field are said to amount to 30,000—bands of them of from 600 to 2,000 strong are overrunning the country to the south-eastward, spreading terror and desolation be fore and around them. Two hundred. villages are already said to have been destroyed by them, and several great towns have been brought into danger. Wherever they have oome in contact with the regu lar troops they have of course been dispersed with much slaughter, and they are not anywhere in a position to offer effective resistance to the mast mode rate-sized detachments. Bo soon as we have a sufficient force in the field they will be hunted down or driven back to their fastnesses, but the mischief they are at present occasioning is as lamentable as their appear ance in the field was unexpected. We must refer the reader to our extracts for details, wh:ch, from their diffusivenese and doubtful accuracy, we lied ourselves unable to work up into a regular sum mary. To us the most important event is the early retirement of the Marquis of Dalhousie from supreme authority, and the deep disappointment experienced that what we knew must neces sarily occur six months hence should be anticipated by an hour. The public mind, betides, had been made up for the appointment of Lord Elgin, a man of such pre-eminent talent, so well trained and severely tried in statesmanship, that we hoped to find in him a successor worthy of the illustrious statesman who now leaves us amidst the regrets of all India. Lord Canning may tern out a able a governor as Wellesley, Bentinck, or Dalhousie, but we should have preferred a man with more conspicuous ante cedents; and should have regarded the cabinet that gave us the late Governoe-General of Canada as a viceroy much more likely to have been sincere in the maxim they had laid down, " that India to be well governed must be governed in India," than that which placed the Postmaster- General over an empire more than half as large as Europe, to administer the affairs of 160,000,000 of human beings. The interests of the British domi nions in the East seem so insignificant in the esti mation of Englishmen, that the first chance they have of receiving the attention which is their due will probably be when the Chancellor of England calls for a few millions annually to meet their an nual charges. The Bombay government are pre pared to grant the Western India Irrigation Com pany the entire , profits of their improvements for 99 years, and speak on the subject in a tone of liberality and qf cordial warmth such as commands universal admiifition. One 'of the Peninsular and Oriental Company's ships has just made the passage to Aden by the northern route; it occupied 12 days in the first attempt, or three less than the average. The experiment was ordered by Mr. Ritchie, for 7 years the able and indefatigable superintendent of the com pany here, who left for England by last mail, with the best wishes of all who know him. At Bombay, notwithstanding the' auspicious commencement of the rains, we begin to be threatened with an alarm ing drought, being nearly a half short of our average fall at the date at which the south-west monsoon is usually considered over. The Madras Presidency, under the administnition of Lord Harris, is at pre sent taking the lead in public improvement; a plan as wise as vigorous of putting down torture promises if persevered in to be successful. The affairs of the large colleotorate of Malabar are so managed under the able administration of Mr.Conolly, that the ryots who were wont only to pay their taxes under a system of personal violence are now clamorous for land on government terms,. and as nager to pay rent Ruder the apprehea..l shin of losing their land as government is to receive it. This auspicious state of matters, which is rapidly s preading over the Bombay Presideney under our admilabb townie system, might at no distant chits become universal were the *ample of, the Bombs/ Government and the Collector of Malabar rarely fol ' loud oat. 41 system of museums for economic and ednet,innstiorasea proceeding from a central one at Maffei* *treading over every pad of the Pree:L dency---a 'Matter in which we in Bombay are 'be II - ginning nattily to oop7 the sister presidency.

Lord Elphinstone and the Commander-in-Chief continue in the Deccan Trade is dull, freights low, and the money market is easy.

The following is an extract of a letter from Mr Toogood, magistrate of Moorshedabad, dated July 25, 1855, in which he gives this explanation of the origin and progress of the ttionthal insurrection : From inquiries made by me last night of the adjacent villages, I have learnt the following particulars: This rebellion has been instigated by four brothers, resi dents of the village of Btugnadihee, by same Kann, Sedu, Chand, and Bbyrub, all fdanjhees, of whom Sedu and Chand were at home, and the two others in the houses of their father-in law at Simulchap, Pergunnah not known, in the district of Bhaugulpore, about ten miles distant from the place. About two months ago Sedu and Chard went about, and told the Manjhees or Han dles that a Thacoor had descended is their house, and therefore all should bring a cupful of milk, and prevent it as an offering. The villagers salted in what form the Thacoor had appeared. They said in a flame of fire. The two brothers also said that on Friday next he would come again, and on that day all should be assembled at their house. The 'Hiners, in obedience to the orders of Sedu and Kanoo, took milk every day to their house which was placed before the Thaeoor, and it was reported that the milk used to rise up, and was thus a proof of the Thaeocr's presence. Sometimes, when a man was doubted hie cup of milk was declared to be of a bluish colour, and be was then pronounced to be untrue to Thacoor, and the offering was refused. When Fridsy came all the villagers went toot, the Thacoor at Sedu and Kanoo's house, and were told by the brothers that the Thaeoor had not come that day, but would on the fliWenth day of the moon, which would be about fifteen days hence. Bede showed them ' two printed books and two pieces of paper and a small knife, and said these things were sent by the Tnacoor, who had said they should be Kipp, that only ono Gana should be paid for each oxen plough and 2 annas for • buffalo plough, that their creditors should not be paid, sad that in future only one pica for rupee per annum should be paid as interest; that the English were to be driven out of the country, and water only would come out of their guns, ite. Before the fifteenth day of the moon came, Sedu be gan to collect all the Seethed, together in hie house at Bhug middle., they came with bows and arrows, swords, ales, and drums ; Sedn's other two brothers who were at fiimul chap also collected men and joined him at Bhugoadibee, and the force amounted to about 10,000 men. The Darogah of Dighee having received information of all this went with about eight or ten Burkundausee to Panobkattea, which is three miles distant from Bbsignadikee, and was met there by about SOO &inhale coder Sedu ; he sent for the Derogate, and asked him why he had not presented himself before, in accordance with the perwannah which he had issued to him ; the Darogah re plied that he was absent front his Thannab. Sedu then ordered the &whale to surround the police, and with his own hands cut off the head of the Darogals, and the Buten douses were killed by his followers. He then proceeded to murder all who would not follow him, and plunder and burn their villages. Chand Muijee, it appears, remained at I home, whilst Sedu, Kanoo, aid Bhyrnb led the rebels. At Mohtshpore Sedu received a musket shot on the wrist of his right hand, and Kenoo and Bhyrub received a shot in the ab• domen and back respectively, but none of then wounds are of • serious nature. Sedu was carried away from Idobesh pore on a eharpoy, after the fight at Mohesbpore, and the four brothers returned the Bhugnadihee with form ele phants and • quantity of pleader, and have eines remained at home. Yesterday, hearing of the arrival of the troops,l they sacrificed two buffaloes sad tea goats, and Karim with sixty or seventy men went forth to Reghonathpoor to fight the troops. About 12 o'clock in the day some of the San that came running back to Bhugnadthee, and said that Kanoo was shot and had died. Sedu and the other two ►rothers hearing of this fled to the hills, taking with them as much as they could of the plundered property. Th following men were in the gang, and warrants for their apprehension have been issued—(Here followed a list of 35 persons, with the names of their villages.) These villages are under the charge of Mr. Po•tet; they belong to the thannabs of Ticree and Dighes, and Sedu and his brothers are common sort of men, mush in debt, and never paid their creditors. I have burnt the village of Bhugn•dibce, and with It the whole of the Thanoor Sues, and issued the enclosed proclamation ; it is reported wear* to be attacked with • large force to-morrow, but i do'zit believe we shall be. The four books which it 1, reported fell from heaven, and in which the orders of the Th•coor were written, and which books were read every day at the That:oar Bare*, are trans lations of the Gospels of St. John into Bengali* and other languages; they were found on the Verandah of Bedu's house, when he used to sit and dictate his orders, and close to the verandah was the Thaeoor. The books were wrapped up in a white cloth, and tied round with • piece of gold string. On the 7th of August Mr. Secretary Grey commu nicated the following to the Calcutta Press : Little information of importance has been received from the disturbed districts for many days. _ . . - dotnet is reported to be perfectly cleared of the Southall. The accounts regarding the Beerbboom district are con flicting. The most probable statement is that the Santini' have retired from the south part of the district, but that they are hovering about In large numbers in the Pergun nabs north of the Mor, and threatening again to crone that river to attack Begot' and other pieces.

Cempbell, of Glasgow, formerly of Australia. Mr. Campbell wee 01 opinion that the gold fields are inexhaustible, and the finding of gold only in its infancy. Boundless fields lie still untouched, which will employ the labour of ages yet to come, and when efficient machinery shall have been brought to operate upon the rocks, there may be this gold enough to liquidate the national debt. Sir R. J. Muithursod said he bad been in communication with the governor of Australia, and it was undoubted that though the population had of late largely *ceased, tits produce of gold bad deceased. It was a virgin sonntry; the gold lay in great troughs, and the question wu bowing it would take to exhaust them. It might be a quarter of a century—more or Ica—he would not like to name it; bat it would be, sooner or later, exhausted. The riches were ow the surface. When the Spaniards first visited Beath America, and found the palace of Montezuma and the othae princes covered with gold, which had been collected bythe poor people with their sticks out of the gravel of the earth, they said, " What will come when we go down to the bowels uf the earth;" and it must be remembered that the Spaniards were then the best miners in the world. What wee the result ? They mined for gold—they were relied; and a proverb gradually came into use, which said, "he obi wants to make a fortune will mine for copper; be whew** a moderate fortune will mine for silver ; and be who welds to ruin himself let him mine for gold." (A laugh.) Thee might be exceptions to this rule, but it generally held tree. In nineteen cases out of twenty, deep mining will cost 261. for every 11. of gold. This was undou'dediy the case to South America. No desht, however, Australia would pro duce gold for mazy years, and enable this country to fatal there a marntificeet empire. (Applause.)
