The object of the doeassat is to transmit to Lord Pali USZ " the list of the uses of others and men brought to ley (the Commealisi•in-Chiers) notice by the pne rale of the Highlaad, Second, and Light Divisloos, cm the melon of the attack ea the Red= on the Bth September r bat it would have been shorter and more to the purpose to have said that the names of all Awn having staff appointments in the aforesaid divisions—together with those of di few regimental odors wrso had distinguished them selves in each a way that it was impossible to overlook them—bad been recommended, one and all, kr a step in brevet promotion. First in order eases the Highland Division, commanded by the brave Bir Cowl CA/ODELL. Of this division, singe lady enough, General SIMPSON merely gives the list of the divisional stag, but does not say that Sir Color regommends any of these gentlemen for speck! honours. What is the most natural thing to be interred from this? Why, that the gallant eld Highlander, disgusted at the inaction to which his troops were condemned, sad annoyed that he sad his men were not allowed to take a more prominent part in the tight, declined patting forward the names of any anglers who had in no way had any opportunity of distinguishing themselves above their fellows. In the Highland Division, staff allieers—aad they alone—ere men tioned, for the rums, we premise, that they are staff officers, and that the good old custom of the Peninsula would dictate that their names should be brought for ward. Next to the Highland Division comes the list forwarded by Colonel the Hon. A. SPENCER. who, with a brigade of the Fourth Division, was sent to Ws biros the Highlanders, and who " reports in favour of" his personal and the brigade stag but in what these aims distinguished themselves we are left to find out as beet we can. Than comes the list of enters " brought to the notion" of General Smear by General Idartsza.w, although what the latter did to distinguish himeelf—or what from the position be remained in all day he could see of the straggle in sad about the Redan—does not appear on the an. of the despatch now under notate. The Sib of September was a day of slaughter for thousands of oar gallant countrymen, both teems and soldiers; and from it, too, we may date the death of more than ens military mutating in the higher ranks of the Zogiish army. Of the distinguished gallantry of ens anew wham name is " brought to node? by General MARKHAM there can be hardly two opinions—we allude to Colonel (now Major-Gene ral) WINDHAM. Bat it was hardly necessary that the stamp of approbation should be affixed to that name by the leader of his division. WINDHAM'S name will only cease to be remembered by England when the , mutest we are now engaged in shall be no longer recorded in history ; but there were witnesses enough of his gallantry present with him in the Rake. with out the testimony of those at a distance. After General 3Lainitsx's list mess that of General CODRINOTON, in which—apparently as a matter of course—the di- 'Wood staff are cos sad all brought forward by name, leaving the general seeder to ask the not unnatural question, whether the names of these officers ars "brought to notice" cx afecio, or on account of any pliant act performed during the fight; and, if the latter, what their deeds of bravery or devotion were Bat bow fare the regimental officers—the fighting men ci the army, as they may with propriety be gelled—in this "list of names" which General Situ sow " brings to notice," or rather which " are brought to hie notice" by his divisiou and brigade leaders? If the despatch before us were the only test by which to judge of their respective =sena, the world would say that whilst every staff Acne of the three divisions had so distinguished himself as to deserve that he should be specially mentioned by the Commander.in- Chief, of eon belonging to the regiments that samalted the Itedan only hare aid there a chance septa's or subaltern did his duty so valiantly as to be deemed worthy of having his name publicly recorded. General BDtreene's desist& *bee means nothing or it means this—that sermy pea/► man belonging to the staff of the Highleid,llNsai, and Light Divisions, and to the Brigades ampalsi those divisions, was on the Bth September a hue, bat that in the regiments there were mar a few—s very few in proportion—who wine deserving of any honour. And yet, as a gleam at the atenly List will show, these see many regimental officers now fighting in the Crimes who went through the baptism of fire five, six, to, end twelve years ago in India; whilst on the dal there are many young men who have now attained the brevet rank of field officers, and who a year ago were but subalterns. If our English staff wore composed of officer" who Lad pined high professional testimonials at any 'military college —of men selsoted bemuse they were good draughtsmen, or well acquainted with the subtleties of tactics, or perfectly convey sant with any other science whatever, useful to would be lees mead= to Sad fault with this perpetration of an old abase. Bat when the whole world is perfectly well aware that personal or family interest or connexion are the only stepping-stones towards a staff uniform, and that whilst his regimental comrade—probably his senior— is three and four times a-week braving death in the tren ohee,the Aide-de-Camp, Brigade-Major, or Deputy- Aasistant-Adjutant-General is quietly husbanding his health and strength in his ohiet's comfortable quarters, it becomes really too much of a good thing in these days of open council, to reward one man for what another hie .offend—often for another's death. One single instance of this will sake for any reasonable man. In the Rifle Brigade there Sr. two seeress, bearing the regimental rank of captain. The one of thee.--who belongs to what may be called the unprotected class—entered the service in 1834, exactly 21 yews ago. After seeing a vest deal of service in India, this gentleman—who purchased all his steps—exchanged into the Rifle Brigade, with which tarps he has served in the Crimea since the commencement of the war, and ham never been &beset hum his duty a single day—he is still a captain.

Regimental officers ought—and must— have the lion's share of military reward, inasmuch as they have to brave all the danger.

Oriox ovz owx PARIS. Bv3wAy Evzomta. The demonsttation against Bursars in Naples, made by the Moniteur, looks very like • confirmation of the news already sent by your Naples correspond ent that the differences between Bing Bombs and the Western Powers are patched up for the present. I have, it is truth beard it said within the last four. l and-twenty hours that, notwithstanding concessions made by Ferdinand, the very serious misunder standing that ham long existed is far from being settled. However, the Pionotue, of Turin, a generally well-informed journal. says that the Neapolitan government, yielding to the energetic representations of the Austrian Minister, has at length resolved to give full malefaction to the u imperative requirements of France and England.* At all events, the Emperor Napoleon 111. thinks it necessary to appear very angry with his cousin Lucien Murat. I am informed that the Prince and at St. Cloud yesterday and asked for an audience, but that his Majesty positively refused to see him. A Warsaw correspondent of the Constitutionnel gives reasons for thinking that the rumour which has been for some time current in German of the ap proaching retirement of Count Nematode, is not unfounded. While in Europe the idea is that Nes selrode's tendencies are pacific, be is openly accused by the Russians in Warsaw of having brought about the war, and there are people who suspect him of secretly rejoicing at the checks which Ramis Wm 'offend. Such sfippositions show how e•vessissd is the difference between the old Muscovite and the German party. However wild some of these con jectures may be it is remarked as • significant fast that the old chancellor has remind no ter timooy of satisfaction from either the late or the present Emperor sines the commenoemeut of the war. No allusion is made to his name is the will of the Cur Nicholas; where, however, moat oil his late Majesty's old servants are remembered. The belief is very strong among usually well-informed persons in Warsaw that before the end of the year Nematode will be superseded by M. Sidniavine. This letter goes on to say that the position of the Russian Government in Warsaw is a difficult one. The harvest is scanty, the potato disease very bad, the pries of corn is continually rising, and it is expected that it will soon be higher than in Prussia. In these chmearances, it is considered very fortunate that the militia forces which were to have been marched into Poland hays not yet crossed the frontier. A Russian letter from Rigs, of Sept. 28, alludes as follows to the recent bombardment : At six o'clock in the =Min of yesterday, the iababit ants of this town were startled by • heavy canaimade.

"The general opinion in the srmy was, that Mar-1 shal Mader intended to thrsaton Simpheropol with an attack by the army of linpatoria, to force the Russians to chimp their positions, and then to profit by the movements they would be compelled to make to attack them.

" An English company has submitted, at Coasts*. tinople, an oiler to execute the railway from that town to Belgrade. Other proposal, are awaited" UKASE OF TER EMPEROR ST. PETERSBURG, Szrr. 28. The Emperor Alexander has issued the following akin : • Every month of actual presence is the garrison of Sebastopol on the north side and in the forts shall be considered equivalent to a year's service, and ensure the following privileges :—let, generals, staff sad superior officers, and likewise officials in the civil service, to wear their uniforms on retiring into pri vate life; 2nd, to wear then the Order of St. Vla dimir, 4th class, and the scarf for the service of 26 years (any one of them who had served 14 years when the siege commenced receives at once this order de jars); 3rd, full punkas to themselves and families as upon superannuation; officers, military or civil, to receive additional rank (every grads in Russia has to be filled for a normal period of three to four years, to be shortened by special distinct dons only; non-oommimioned officers and privates will accordingly not enjoy this final promotion) ; 6th, surgeons to receive pensions and increase of pay (with certain modifications); 6th, police officials to have higher salaries; 7th, person' holding inferior employments will not have their punishments and penalties for minor offences recorded against them when discharged; Bth, indefinite furlough (bat not till the war is over)." There are three more regulations for private sol diers, respecting their pay and medals. Every day spent in the north aide of Sebastopol beyond a calendar mouth is to be deemed equivalent to twelve days. Then certain regulations follow, respecting the Order of St. Vladimir. The Emperor orders, in another ukase, the re organisation of the head military school, and the for mation of three special military academies. Another order of the Emperor prohibits the expor tation of worse cloths, whether grey or of any other colour, by the land frontier, of Poland and Russia in Europe. _ Russian reports state that emigration has com menced on a great scale in Simpheropol since the 9th. A panic was driving away the inhabitants in all directions. Certain Tartars had been executed by the military authorities for having spread abroad the report that the forts oa the south side of Sebas topol had been blown up. The Grand Duke George of Mecklenburg Strelits left Moscow on the 21st, at midnight, for Nioolaieff, to join the Emperor.

The Austrians are, it appears, quitting the fron tiers of WeMehl*, to take up their winter quarters in the townsin the interior. A letter in the Press. d'Orient states that they have recently received large supplies of mullions of war. THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT AND THE MURATISTS. Yesterday's Moniteur contains the following official note, treating of a letter recently published by Prince Murat : " PARIS, Oor. 6. " The Emperor'. government ha. seen with deep regret the publication of a letter on the affairs of Naples, which would lead to the belief that the Emperor's policy, instead of being frank and loyal, as it has always been towards foreign governments, could secretly favour certain pretensions. The go vernment openly disavows them, under whatever form they are brought forward." SPAIN. ]MADRID, Ocr. 5. The Cabecilla Carlist Monis has been arrested at Mora. Two hundred and ten millions of reale have already been received on account of the loan. The cholera is increasing. The sittings of the Cortes are without interest. We have received the Madrid journals of the Ist, and a letter by express of the 2nd. The sitting in the Cortes on the 2nd was devoted to the presenta tion of sundry bills. The Gazette publishes that on the Budget. The ordinary expenses for 1856, and for the first six menthe of 1857, are fixed at 2,188,238,408 reale (544,059,6021.), which are to be met by the pro oeeds of the taxes and the public, revenue, set down at the same amount us the ex Several wo gressista deputies have ' on demanding from the Cortes a national recompense for Marshal Bapartero, but the latter has expressed his determi nation to refuse it, should it be voted. According to a return just made of the sale of the national pro perty, 1,258 estates, which had been put up at 10,934,772 reels, realised 21,134,090 reale. A general bath* has been organised against the factious in the mountains of Catalonia—rewards will be given to the people who kill or capture any one of them. AUSTRIAN ITALY. The Opinions of Turin says: "The Austrian go vernment has seized on the property possessed in Lombardy by the religions corporations suppressed in Piedmont. Austria hues her conduct on what the Sardinian government did when Joseph IL abolished the convents and monasteries, without bearing in mind that at that period a bona fide abolition was effected, which is not the case at present. The Sar dinian cabinet is discussing the question with Austria on legal grounds." PIEDMONT. By a royal ordonnanee, signed for the Bing of Sardinia by Prince de Carignan, the military order of Savoy, founded in 1815, has been reconstituted for the purpose of recompensing distinguished ser vices rendered by the Sardinian troops in the course of the present war. It is to comprehend four classes— grand cross, commander, officer, and knight. The Bing of Sardinia has conferred the Grand Cross of, the said order on Marshal Peliasier, General Simpson, and General de la Marmon. RUSSIA. MOSCOW, thrr._2.s. The idea of creating a new steam navy at Nico laieff to replace the Black Sea Bestows ingloriously sunk and destroyed at bebeatopol, pompously an nounced by the Russian organs, seems likely to prove • failure, for it cannot remain a secret that the re sources of the country are not of a nature to admit of ships of war being built with the celerity so desirable. There are no stores of dry and seasoned timber at Nicoiaieff suitable for shipbuilding. Whenever a stock is required the Minister makes a contract with some favourite, or whoever pays him the most hand some bribe, who makes an aivantageous sub-contract, and thus the affair may pass through the hands of ten or a done different persons, each of whom makes a pretty picking of a go vernment contract; and when at length the timber is floated down the Dnieper from up the country, it is found to be quite peen, full of sap, and generally cut at the wrong time of the year ; consequently, perfectly worthless, and totally unfit for immediate use. The Emperor's shipbuilders at Nico laieff may celebrate the presence of their sovereign by laying down the keel of a 131-gun chip, to com pete with the Royal Albert, but the day of its com pletion is far distant. Bat at Nieolaieff the Empe ror will have an opportunity of visiting the extensive naval hospitals, crowded at this moment with the last remnants of the sailors that manned his Black Sea fleet, on which he prided himself to much, and who now belong to the genus of the " Russian lova lides." Great speculation is excited here as to the mode to be adopted for carrying on the war. The Emperor and Prince Gortchakoff have both plainly stated that the war in the Crimea can henceforth be only carried ' on advantageously in the open field. The northern forts of Sebastopol are therefore not to be seriously defended, and indeed it would be demanding too much of the former garrison of Sebastopol—after en during with great fortitude and immense sacrifices a siege of eleven months—to require them to begin again and throw up fortifications to defend an unte nable position. It appears that the bridge between the Nicholas' and Michael's batteries was not constructed on pon toons, but was simply composed of beams and spars lashed together and planked over. It was 3,000 feet long and 22 feet wide, and was finished only on the 27th of August. 1 THE BOMBARDMENT OF DUNAMUNDE AND BULLEN. RIGA, Barr. 29. As the season is getting so far advanced, without our seeing anything of the allied fiesta, we were beginning to think there would be no bom bardment this year, when yesterday morning at an early hour the inhabitants of this city were sud denly awakened by a loud and severe cannonade. It appears that during the night eight British men-o►- war—four line-of-battle ships, • frigate, and three corvettes—had approached our coast unperceived, and at daybreak opened their fire upon our batteries at Ihinamiinde, the mouth of the Duos. The bom bardment was kept up for nearly three hours, with out, however, inflicting much damage on the bit teries, except dismounting • few guns; after which the hostile squadron stood off to the westward, and took up a position opposite the colony of %lien, situated at the mouth of one of the channels of the Duna. Here they opened a heavy fire on the bat teries, which was but feebly answered by the Rus sian artillerymen. This second bombardment lasted for two hours, and the damage done was considerably more important than at Diinamiinde. About noon the ships drew off altogether, and disappeared in a north-easterly direction. Intelligence has this day been received here of a similar hostile visit at Old Salim, a small town situated at the mouth of the river Salts, about 50 miles higher op the coast. On Tuesday last, the 25th of September, a couple of large steam-frigates, under the British flag, arrived off the month of the river Sas, and cast anchor within gunshot of the town. A boat was immediately lowered, which, manned by an officer and seven sailors, proceeded to sound and reconnoitre the mouth of the river and the channel. On having accomplished this, they gyre a l signal to the ships, when four more b oat., contain- ng four offloers and 64 men, pushed off and jai* the first boat. These five boats then palled ia t o . wards the shore, the foremost of them displayis t white Sag in her bows, which was answered by similar one hoisted on the flagstaff on the shw a , k the hope of thereby saving the tea timber veto), lying at anchor about a went up the river, their masts and rigging. Whilst the lastly-arrived boats lay on their oars, the flint one approached As landing-place, and the English officer in comma inquired of Here von Beheghel, the principal pm. prietor and inhabitant of Old Salts, whether the sa l . sell lyir.g in the river belonged to the government as were private property. This gentleman reply,' g at they belonged to him and his people, upon which the lieutenant expressed his regret,. but his posit* orders were to destroy them and al!othess the/ si g h, fled along the coast. Representations and entresa a were of no avail ; the sailors set fire to all the els. eels, after which they returned to the frigai ll . As soon as the latter were out of sight, attempts wars made by the inhabitants of Old Saha to extingsak the flames and save some of the burning vess e l s , b it without much suooess, as only two were posta l saved, whilst the remaining eight were burned to 114 water'. edge and totally destroyed.
