The highest points are Tschadyr-Dagh, 4,700 ft.; and Babugan Jaila, about equal in height. Between these a cruss valley runs with a pass at an elevation of 2,000 feet. The south coast of the Crimea is quite a distinct country, both in climate and vegetation. The tract lying between the steep side of the moun tains, and the low sandy sea shore, is peculiarly circumstanced. It is entirely protected from all the rough winds of the north, while It is quite open to all the warm breezes blowing from the southern shores of the Black Sea. It consequently enjoys an exceedingly mild climate, which allows 'the vine, olive, pomegranate, and all the south Euro pean fruits, to come to peifection. The prin cipal culture is that of the vine, but the wipes are far inferior to those of Western Eprope. The vine yards extend at present into a number of the northern valleys of the Tauric chain, but the wine is much poorer than that of the south coast. Fruit is, however, largely cultivated in the northern val leys, with an exclusive privilege of supplying Mos cow and St. Petersburg. The southern declivity of the ridge is covered with forests of the Caucasiati pipe, the region extending from 600 to 3,000 feet. On the north side, which is much colder, they are replaced by beech. Arbutus Andrachne occurs only on the south side, from the coast up to 1,200 feet, but usually solitary, and is supposed to have been derived from seeds brought by birds of passage from Anatolia.—A. Henfrey. IMPROVEMENTS AT SOMERSET-HOUSE.—Acoong the works of real utility as well as ornapieot now going on in the metropolis, the new buildings by Waterloo bridge, intended as Inland Revenue Offices, stand opt very conspicuously. Besides covering an awk ward space, and serving as a screen to the unsightly backs of several houses—very prominent to the eye oldie pedestrian in journeying from the Strand south ward—a highly ornamental frontage, commencing near the river, of considerable width and elevation, and combining the requisites of beauty, order, and solidity, now presents itself, and is fast rising to corn • pletion. Tpat portion of the work already finished, near the bridge, with its elegant Corinthian columns and handsome stone facing (architecturally and de coratively in harmony with Somerset-house, of which it is part and parcel), gives an earnest of the im provement which will be effected on the completion of the undertaking. The open space yet remaining between the new buildings, which presented a great difficulty in the way of completing the improvement, will, we understand, be converted into a terrace (the probable future Sornerset•terrace); while the houses still unscreefied will be partly reconstructed, and a stone facing given to them, so as to complete the architectural frontage. Great facilities during the progreks of the pork have been affqrded by the proximity of the place to the fiver, from whence stone has bepn readily lauded in vast quantities; also by beviug so large and convenient a space for the preparation of the stone on the spot., for oroa ment or otherwise, in adapting it to be waioua of the new buildings. T HN Asczus or MosT BLAsc.--fiaturdry evening last terrninitc4 the se op erthis exhibition. At the conclusion a the peeormitigces Mr. Albert Smith made grateful allusion to The support be bad re ceived 'crating the three yews of his exhibition, and in closing the present season promised :—" To start immediately for Chamonni, to see what fresh subjects of amusement or interest may be collected on the route, which will be entirely changed. Instead of the Paris and Strasbourg line, I shall convey you to Switzerland by Amsterdam, Holland, and the Rhine, and thence by Berne to Geneva, and stop on our return at Lyons and Paris." Nearly 300,Q00 persons have attended this entertainment from its first open jug in 1t452, during which time t;qi representations have been given. The end of November is the time promised for reopening this performance. A RAILWAY TUNNEL [fell in on Tuesday, during the passage of a train; fortunately without doing much mischief. As railways get older, this class of accidents requires to be most carefully guarded against. The accident happened on the Leeds Nor thern Railway, A Stockton train not arriving at the customary hour, it was ascertained that the falling in of a portion of t he tunnel at Brarnhope, about seven miles from Leeds, had taken place. It seems that the train referred to is usually on Tuesdays a heavy one, as Leeds market is held on that day of the week. It was conveying between 200 and 3(H) passengers through the tunnel (two miles in length) in twelve or thirteen carriages. When about half way through, the side on which the train was moving fell in and severed the train in two, and burying two of the pas. senger-carriages. The engine alone got through;spd the remaining carriages Rot buried, when detached, ran backwards in the direction or Arthington at a quick pace, the line in that direction being rather rapid decline. A collision was the consequence, its progress not being checked until it came in contact with a truckful of Irish reapers. The guard of the train (named Porritt), \Om travelled in the van at the rear, was seriously injured ; but the other pa.s sengers escaped without much injury. POISONING BY TOBACCO.—A lady the wife of a retired physician, fortiori, ham, died at a lodging in New Brighton ago from the effects of a decoction of it is surmised, medicinally, without the her husband, she having been long in a of health. She had ordered the servant half an ounce or tobacco in a pint of 'lin drank the half of the decoction, said to more than sufficient to cause death, course produced death on the following had payee been known to use tobacco bgq4 way.

F*ID*T EYLVHIG. THE news from Eupatoria is the great point in the week's transactions, and is good as far as it goes. People, notwithstanding our successes, are conscious that a fair trial of the relative force of the two oppo nents has not yet been made ; and the 4ttippaita l without question, have their owp places and tlaelf owp reasons for not oaring opposition to file as yet. These considerations pygyented the news from having so much effect= themarket which rnis4t have been expected, thopiith * 4*o P 44441 Very few obey ipltteces have bad fay actiett the ntarket. Further arfiyals or gold carpi) to 144 on Monday, to the amount of about 320,0QQ1., frog`:" New York and the West Indies. The greater part wait for re-exportation, American eagles being at pre sent in some demand in France. The commercial feeling is uneasy—as was anu cipated. Other failures have followed the Man ' cheater disaster of last week. Messrs. Deane, Youle, and Co., of Liverpool, a well-known firm in the South American trade, stopped payment on . Monday.
