Our Imperial Ally has already recognised the brilliant exploit of his General in the Crimea. He has paid the best compliment to the glorious achievement of his valiant troops by the promotion of their Commander. The Field-Marshal's baton has been most wisely and gracefully conferred on the brave PELISSIER, and every soldier who participated in the capture of the Malakhoff, and the subsequent fall of Sebastopol, in like manner, shares in the honour bestowed on the representative of the French Army. Why has not a similar distinction been be stowed on General SIIIIPSON ? Surely he has as well merited the favour as Lord RAGLAN, to whom it was bestowed for not taking the Russian stronghold, or rather for that which was em phatically the soldiers' battle—the victory at Inkerman—which was certainly due to the stub blra endurance of our men, the inflexible resolution of those composing the " thin red line," which no effort of the enemy could break, or even cause for a moment to bend, rather than to the skill or judgment of the Commanders. For that Lord RAGLAN was made a Field-Mar shal—for that a pension was conferred on the successor to his title, and on his widow, when he was himself, by the dispensation of PROVIDENCE, placed beyond the reach of earthly honours and rewards ! We do not complain of the recompence, but we repeat, why should not General SIMPSON receive a similar testimony of the approbation of his QUEEN and country for completing the course on which he had only entered ? Sebastopol has fallen ! One of the main objects of the War has been accomplished. Russia has no longer a fleet in the Euxine, or a stronghold to shelter vessels that may hereafter be built. Her power has thus been materially diminished, but not irretrievably so, and it is essential that her pride shall have a further fall, that her humilia tion and discomfiture should be rendered wore signal. The Crimean Army must share the fate of the Black Sea Fleet, or at least, must capitulate, and obtain terms from the mercy of their victors. The game is now in our own bands, and it must be duly followed up. We have already explained the vast importance of a movement either from Eupa toria or the Tcbeterlik, by which the Russians would be placed between two fires, and regularly caught in an inextricable trap. In addition to the foregoing, the transmission of a corps to Aloushta, would entirely surround them, and render escape impossible. A glance at the map will show the vastimportanceof such operations, how thoroughly they would command every possible route on which the retreating army can possibly enter. The skill of the generals may now he best displayed in ob taining the most valuable fruits from the good seed sown at Sebastopol. The first act of the sanguinary drama is concluded, and the national plaudits and more substantial rewards should be bestowed on the daring actors. But more remains to he done, and we may yet have a no less exciting scene in the conclusion of our toils and perils. The cost which we have paid for our acquisition and its actual value may be judged from the facts just announced in the French capital, viz., that— the number of Generals now said to be killed during the assault on Seb uitopol are five, besides ten superior officers. It is also affirmed that Generals Mecithuos and TROOHU have died of their wounds, and that General BOSQUET was killed. The names of Generals Du Lec and ST. PAUL are also mentioned among the casualties, and that not less than 1,200 guns of large calibre have been found by the Allies at Sebastopol. The speech of the Duke of ARGYLL at the Glasgow Meet ing of the British Association last evening is at once an honourable and a beneficial achievement. No intelligent individual but must rise from the perusal of it with mingled feelings of admiration and pleasure—eadrniration a - , the progress and useful results of Science during the last fifteen years, and pleasure that the claims and objects of Science should be so eloquently and judiciously vindicated and defined, and the pre judices obstructing its progress so successfully assailed by one comparatively so young, and yet occupying so high and influential a position iu : society as the Duke. And if to this source of pleasure we add the satisfaction of an enlarged Iconception of the wonderful works by which we lare surrounded, and of the extent of the revela tions made, and likely to be made, by the con tinuous efforts of human intelligence, we by no means' pass the boundaries of truth. It is many along day since a speech so suggestive, charac terised by soprofound and reverent a philosophy, t and so well calculated to advance the interests of Science and truth ,generally, was delivered. It is by n o means ourdetail its t 8 intention vario:s to p i a n n ts a . l analyse or to notice in The reader will peruse for himself his Grace's exposi tion and illustrations of the dependence of the arts upon the advanceof Scie nce , and of the _pro gress made in its i ariuus departments since the last meeting of the Society. He will sympathise without an intervenin g channel with the noble speaker lsses in his has h e i n s expression e s xp o e. f . regret for the losses rienced in the death of some of her most gifted sons during that period, and ponder, with par donable pride, over the distinguished suc cesses and indomitable enterprise of those whom they have left behind, and by which every class of the community has been so signally benefitted. Nor will any remarks of ours be required to enable him duly to appre ciate the claim . of Science ou Governmental assist ance of a pecuniary nature, as defined and urged by the Noble Duke. To the remainder of the speech, however, we feel justified in drawing his particular attention. The Noble President, it will be seen, is of .1 i opinion that the advancement of Science mainly depends on securing, for it a better and more ac knowledged,place in the education of the young ; 1 )1 and, in accordance with this view, suggests the aid ( of the Privy Council in connection with the schools under its oversight.. That such a pro cedure would tend to the advancement of Science there can be no doubt; but hardly leas imprJrtatit results thane this may be anticipated. It would, as his.p4ce.reniarlO,' be a means of mental train - ing, and an instrument for the highest purp'►ses of education, if taught in an enlightened and re verent spirit., The vast extent and grandeur of the field in which science exerts her energies can hardly be opened out, however imperfectly as to extent, to the youthful mind without enlarging its capacity, disposing it to active inquiry, and pre paring it for the actual business of life. Indeed one branch of knowledge is so dependent on an other that to be ignorant of one is to be im peded in pursuit of another. By all means, then, we say, let the suggestion be carried out, and, if further reasons be required, the concluding por tion of this admirable address will supply them. BOMBARDMENT AND DESTRUCTION OF 8 WEIBORG. We hear from an English merchant at Elsineur, who has received letters from Russian merchants at noising fors, that the loss sustained by the Russians in the late bombardment of Sweaborg is something enormous, and beyond anything the publio despatches would lead one to suppose. The three-deck and two-deck ships which were moored across the passages were so severely injured that they have since sunk. Fifteen gun-boats were destroyed by our shells and red-hot shot. The third explosion which did so much damage was a magazine of 80 tons of powder ; it killed 700 men, and destroyed in a great measure the principal fortifica tions, and, in fact, scattered destruction in every di rection as it communicated to the shell-magazines along the batteries. All the winter stores of provisions vir e completely de stroyed, and, as we first supposed, everything that could burn is most effectually consumed. The Russians admit a loss of 2,500 men, and, consi dering that not a soul is allowed to pass from Helsing fors to Sweaborg, and only men in high authority allowed to leave Sweaborg, we may imagine their losses are much greater than they acknowledge to. This is a heavy blow, and if the Government are active this win ter in preparing suitable gun and mortar boats, with plenty of spare mortars, Cronstadt, Revel, &c., will be similarly treated next year. COUNT .PIESSELRODES LAST CIRCULAR. The Frankfort correspondent of the Indepen dance Belge gives the following as a full analysis of the last Russian circular. It was addressed by Count Nesselrode, under date of 16th June, to Prince Gortschakoff (Russian Ambassador at Vienna), in reply to the communications made to the Governments of Europe, and consequently to the Imperial Cabinet of St. Petersburg, by the Austrian Government, after the rupture of the Vienna Conferences : " The despatch refers to the communications of Count Esterhazy, Austrian Envoy at St. Petersburg, which consist of two despatches ; the first relates to the cir cumstances which led to the rupture of the Vienna ne gotiations ; the second defines the actual position of Austria. The expose of Count Buol did not require any reply from Russia ; nevertheless, to satisfy the wish ver bally expressed by Count Esterhazy to know the im pression made by his communications, the present de spatch undertakes to embody the reflections which the Emperor of Russia ordered Count Nesselrode to com municate to Prince Gortschakoff to sere as a rule for his language. "The actual attitude of Austria confirms the convic tion of the Emperor of Russia, founded upon aysur ances received directly by Prince Gortschakoff from his Majesty the Emperor of Austria. It is a moral certainty that the causes of disagreement and com plication are set aside in a manner to assure the maintenance of the pacific relations between the two countries. To characterise the position distinctly taken (nenement prize) by Austria, the despatch quotes Count Buol's despatch in which it is stated that the Emperor of Austria does not even admit the chance of a provocation which might force it to abandon that atti tude. Russia approves of this. She testifies to the complete unanimity in the sentiments of the two mo narchs as regards the conservation and consolidation of the direct relations of good understanding and accord. ance between the two nations. In this moral convic tion Central Europe will be safe from the vicissitudes of the struggle which the Western Powers prolong with an implacableaess which did not even diminish during the Vienna deliberations. "These hostile dispositions of the Cabinets of Paris and of London necessarily led to the failure of'the at tempt at pacification. On this point Russia shares the sentiments of regret of Austria, and appreciates the jus tice with which Count Buol, in his de-patch of the 10th June, declares on whom the responsibility of the rupture of the Conferences must fall. Count Nesselrode dwells on this point, that Count Buol has rendered full justice to the acts of Prince Gortschakoff. In fact, Count Buol said in his despatch, just quoted, that the efforts .f Austria failed in consequence of the precise instruc tions of the Plenipotentiaries of France and England. " Those of Russia, said Count Buol (we are too just not to admit it, even if they had been willing to enter into a deeper examination of our proposals), were para lysed by the unconciliatory manifestations of the other members of the conference. " That judgment of the causes which led to the rupture of the negotiations agrees with that of Russia. It also results therefrom that any new steps taken by Russia to overcome the obstacles which the Cabinets of Paris and of London oppose to a pacific arrangement would be fruitless, And each proof of a conciliatory dispo sition on the part of Russia would only embolden and increase the exac4ons of the Ma-atirne Powers. The truth that oeace is only possible if France and England will 'vally concur iu it was well felt by the. Cabinet of Vienna, which, in the despatch of the 10th of June, de plores that the interpretation of the principles which seemed just and equitable to Austria should have become the signal for the abrupt interruption of the deliberations, and that that circumstance prevents actually the prac tical development of the idea which emanated from Aus tria. Count Bu.d added, that the Cabinet of Vienna is too just in this sate of things to demand front any one whomsoever a precise engagement on the subject, and that he underet , nils that the moment must be awaited when all the belligerent Powers will meet equally dis posed to come to a serious understanding. " Count Nesselrode says that this appreciation of the situation agrees entirely with his own. This renders it unnecessary for him to examine the contested points. He adjourns such examination to the period when the Western Powers shall manifest a disposi tion, to quote Count Buol's words, favourable to a serious understanding. Moreover, Austria is tho roughly acquainted with the idea which presided over the instructions of the Russian Plenipotentiary ; this idea, which belonged in principle to the late Etnpe ror Nicholas, traced the line followed by the actual E isperiir. The fur, guarantees as interpreted by Rus sia continue to form the basis upon which a general pacification may be founded. The first two have, ac cording to Russian views, been acquired to the work of peace. The engagement taken in this respect, and which results from a mutual agreement previously established, as regards those guarantees, between the interested pasties, will remain iu force as long as Austria and Ger many take no part in the war. "As regards the third guarantee, Russia, pointing out again that the rupture of the negotiations is due to the Western Powers, reserves her liberty of decision. Like Austria, she will wait until those Powers, whose intentions Russia cannot prejudge, shall show themselves favourable to a serious and loyal understanding. As regards the fourth guarantee; Russia counts upon the union of the efforts of the two Imperial Courts to bring this grave question of a general interest to a large and efficacious solution, as stated in Count Buol's despatch. " But Russia foresees difficulties which this solution may present. The last Parliamentary debates have given it the proof of the repugnance of the parties interested (the Ottomon Porte) to touch upon this point of dis cussion. Hence also the refusal of the plenipoten tiaries of France and England to examine confidenti ally this question as proposed by Prince Gortschakoff, after the sixth conference, until the expected replies had been received. The despatch expresses Russia's conviction that, even should an agreement have been come to respecting the revision of the treaty of 1844, the fourth guarantee would have offered new obstacles. As long as the Western Powers, the hostile intentions of which the Russian despatch qualifies as indicated above, persevere in this line opposed to the interest of a general pacification, the Cabinet of St. Petersburg must renounce the hope of exercising any influence in their policy which is beyond the limits of any sound reasons of State. Agreeing with the opinion of the Court of Austria she will await the favourable moment to resume a negotiation so abruptly broken off to-day by the Maritime Powers." The Duchess of Gordon arrived in town early in the week front Huntly Lodge, N. 8., and has since gone on a tour in Germany fur a few months. Tne Earl and Countess of Durham are staying at Lainbton Castle, and will reside there until the end of the autumn, during which the noble earl and countess will receive a select circle of relatives. The Earl of Scarborou g h has, during the week, enter tained a s e l ec t c i rcle of friends, a his seat, near Don caster. Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston left town yes terday, for Melbourne Hall, Derbyshire, the ancient family seat of her ladyship's ancestors. The stay of the noble Premier and her ladyship will be of very brief duration. The Right Hon. the Speaker of the House of Com mons, after a tour of visits in the north, passed through town on Wednesday, for bis seat in Hampshire. Sir Joseph and Lady Bailey passed through town this week, en route to Wales, from the German Spas, where, we are happy to hear, the hon. member has derived great benefit from the waters. Lord and Lady Foley, and the Hon. Adelaide Foley, have been among the guests of the Duke and Duchess of Ncrfolk, at Glossop, Derbyshire.

THE: Loi\t , T,ioN FRIDAv EVE 1010,: LAT 4:ST , NEWS. THE FRENCH LOSSES. PARIS, FRIDAY. The llioniteur publishes the following : " General Pelissier, by a despatch dated Sebas topol, Sept. 11, informs the Minister of War that 4,500 wounded, of whom 240 ars officers, have entered the ambulances. "As to the number of dead on the field of battle it has not been possible as yet to number them with certainty ; but in the opinion of the Commandant it does not surpass the usual corre sponding figure—that is, one-third of the number of wounded." The number of French Generals, now said to be killed during the assault on Sebastopol, amounts to five, besides 10 superior officers. It was also affirmed in Paris yesterday that Generals Mao- Mahon and Trochu have died of their wounds, and that General Bosquet was killed. The names of Generals Du Lac and St. Paul are also men tioned amongst the casualties. No less than 1,200 guns, of large calibre, have been found by the Allies in Sebastopol. ST. PETERSBURG, SEPT. 9. Aide-de-camp General Bibikoff has been dis missed frum the post of Minister of the Interior. Sergius Stephanowitch Lanskoy, acting privy coun cillor and a member of the department of civil affairs, is appointed in his stead. BERLIN, SEPT. 13. Telegraphic accounts from St. Petersburg in form us that the Czar intends leaving on the 13th inst. for Warsaw. He will be attended, by Count Nesselrode, and it is thought here will arrange an interview with the King of Prussia. COPENHAGEN, SEPT. 11. The Landsthing has adopted by a great majo rity, after a first reading, the proposition relative to the carrying out the constitution of Aug. 29. MADRID, SEPT. 12. It is said that M. Salamanca has sold to Messrs. Rothschild the Almanza railway. The Court is to return to Madrid on the 20th. The health of the Duke de la Viotoria (Espartero) is ro-established. says a local newspaper, " beamed with joy." Travellers who came up by the railways report that all the towns awl villages on the different lines were illuminated. At Rennes, Bordeaux, Le moges, Strasburg, Valenciennes, Angers, Evreaux, Elbeuf, Lille Lion, and Nant es , th e manifesta tions of public joy are represented to have been most striking. " We learn from a good source," says the Cour rier de Marseille ; " that in consequence of the success at Sebastopol, and the evacuation of the Russian fortifications, Marshal V a ill an t, Mi n i s t er of War, has suspended the sending off of siege ma teriel and projectiles, which were being forwarded from this port for the Crimea." A body of about 100 Russian prisoners arrived yesterday at Lyons from the depot of the Isle of Aix, on their way to Marseilles. Th e y are th ere to be embarked for the Crimea, in order to be ex changed against a like number of French soldiers taken by the Russians. BOURSE, SEPT- 13.—CLOSING PRICES. Cash. fr. a.

The Russians have not made any demonstration against the place, which they kept closely blockaded. In the affair of the Bth they lost a general, a colonel, 5 captains, and 200 men." A letter from Constantinople, brought by the last mail, states that the Anglo-Austro-French company, formed for the cutting of a canal from Kustendje to Rassova (from the Black Sea to the Danube), has, through its agent, Mr. Campbell, presented a project to the Porte for the concession of the work. The Porte, previously to converting it into a firman, has introduced certain modifica tions, chiefly relating to the perpetuity of the con cession, it being one of the fundamental principles of Ottoman policy never to accord a particle of Mussulman soil voluntarily otherwise than for a limited time. The work is to begin next spring, and may be considered as regulating de facto the second point of guarantee, viz., the free navigation of the Danube. The Austrian Embassy at Con stantinople has given its most cordial support to this matter. tcoTAI, PIttgOESVA THEATRE, OXFORD-ATM:ET.

Just as the People congregated together,' to afford a cordial welcome to the gallant veteran, the joyous tidings of the fall of Sebastopol was announced. It was ascertained, beyond the possibility of doubt, that the work iu which the expected guest had enacted so prominent a part had been fully accomplished, that the recompence of the perils and labours which be had endured in his country's cause bad at length been realised. The blood which he had ' himself'so freely yielded, and which he had seen so p ro digally poured forth by his gallant comrades, had tot been shed in vain, and England wa s about to reap the : rich fruits of her children's exploits. It was, indeed, a glorious ovation--a moment that might have recompensed years cf painful toil and unhesitating self-devotion. Sir GEORGE BROWN, after a varied and brilliant career, found himself once more at the place of his birth saw himself surrounded by those who felt that they shared in. the laurels which be had so nobly earned. Many of his elder hosts " mind e d the Provost's son," with whom they had associated in the days of boyhood, who was the daring leader of their juvenile sports, and early displayed the qualitieS by means whereof he had subsequently acquired fame and fortune. He, too,' must have felt no 'ordinary pride and gratification at the well-mexited tribute bestowed by those from whom it was most' acceptable. In returning thanks for the kindly reception, the veteran entered into the history of the cam paign in which he had played a leading part, and whereof he might truly have said— w et uoram pars magna fui." He pointed out the reasons of the various steps that had been taken,. and gained additional credit for himself by the ability and zeal which he dis played in the defence of his departed Commander. He explained the reasons for the inactivity at Varna,:which had been so severely criticised, and declared that the presence of the troops at Varna was the safeguard of Silistria, the real cause which rendered the obstinate defence by the garrison, effectual. He then alluded to the objec tions raised on account of the late period at which the expedition to the Crimea was organised. This - liras in a great degree occasioned by the difficulty in - procuring the , means of landing on the enemy's soil. They had to "improvise" the necessary appliances, and it was to the indomitable ener g y of those on the spot that we are indebted for the very successful landing at Old Fort, and the subsequent triumphs of the War. The Battle of the Alma required no a p o l ogy. Every one felt that Lo d , RAGLAN was more than. justified in so promptly"takin g the bull by the horns "—that. it constituted his, b e s t title to t l If substantial rewards which he himself did not liv, to receive,_ but which the gratitude of his countrl bestowed ' .on his widow and the heir to his title. The subsequent delay in ..followin g up the bril liant victory was harder to excuse. But tho guest, with a chivalrous desire to vindicate ti n s honour of...leader, made a strong defence FRANCE. PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING, 6 O'CLOCK. It is thought that the Russians will have made an attempt to redeem their defeat by again attack ing us, aLid it is rumoured to-day that the Govern ment was in expectation of the news of a great battle. During the assault the Russian artillery men were killed at their guns, but is affirmed that with that exception a panic took complete posses sion of the army at the appearance of the 'allies in the Malakhoff Tower. Their hasty retreat was occasioned by their fear that we should fire on the bridge and take them prisoners. The Moniteur has the following on the fall of Sebastopol The interversion which took place in the order in which the last despatches from the East arrived, the obligatory brevity of those despatches,. and the prodigious rapidity with which the events they an nounced succeeded each other, caused a sentiment of uncertainty and surprise which, perhaps, did not allow the decisive importance of the victory gained by the allied armies to be at once appreciated. The full extent of this triumph, laboriouly prepared luring a whole year, and gloriously achieved by an heroic and supreme effort, has now been generally understood. After so long an expectation, the news of the denouement of the conflict was so sudden and so exciting that it did not leave p'ublic opinion the necessary calm to estimate clearly the acts ac complished, and to measure their bearing and im portance. These acts are immense, and may be summed up in two words—the fall of Sebastopol, and the destruction of the Russian fleet. On the Bth September, at midday, the signal for the as sault was given ; a few instants after the allies were masters of the Malakhoff, and by the even ing the besieged, despairing of being able to pro long resistance in the other defences of the place, aband,med them all at the same time, and hastily evacuated Sebastopol, in order to place an arm of the sea between our troops and them. On the 9th, at three o'clock in the morning, the whole town presented a vast conflagration, and such of the Russian vessels as had been spared by our shells disappeared beneath the waters of the roadstead, sunk by the enemy themselves. [Then follows the despatch which the . Minister of War received from Gen. Pelissier, which we pub lished yegterday.] The Te Deum has been celebrated with great effect. The Archbishop, addressing the Emperor, said : "Sire,—The national joy is increased by the thought that Heaven after all these triumphs prepares for you in addition dame tic joys, which will be so much more delightful to yoar heart as they will be also fur the pub lic vood."

" Monsieur le .Pref6t—The indomitable courage of our soldiers and that of our Allies have just achieved a brilliant triumph. After three battles, which were in fact three victories ; after the gigantic efforts of a siege unexampled in miliitary annals, Sebastopol, its port, its arsenals, and its mi steriel are in our hands. The power ' ful fleet which rect mtly dominated the Black Sea, and which caused the disaster of Sinope, exists no more ! For this immense success the Emperor has determined to offer up a s olemn thanksgiving to God, who dis poses of the fate 'of armies. On Sunday, the 16th, accordingly, a Te Ileum, will be chanted in all the de partments of the Empire. You will, therefore, concert with the ecclesia stfical authorities, and with the civil and military autb,orities, in order to give to the cere indny an eclat whicii shall equal the grandeur of our victory. You will also authorise such public rejoicings as the patriotism of the populations may improvise. The country asse,thating itself, as always, to the senti ments of the Emperor, will celebrate with enthusiasm the heroism of •our :soldiers, and the new glory which they have adde I to the old glory of France.—Receive, &c., "BILLAULT." The Ministe 1r of Public Instruction has addressed the following to the Bishops : "Paris, 12th Sept. "Monseigneur,—The flag of Francs floats over the ruins of Sebastopol. The difficulties which hitherto checked our ;soldiers have only served to show to the world that. their constancy is equal to their cou rage, and tlra't they know how to merit victory by their virtues. Valiantly seconded by the forces of our Allies, th ey have strengthened the equilibrium of Europe by a; curing the liberty of the East. The Em peror, raisin; ► his thoughts towards the Sovereign Ar biter of armi es and empires, desires that you shall sum mon the fait) aird to the foot of the altar to offer public thanksgiving. to God.

The spectators, about 2,000 ira nuinber rose, en masse, and shouted with indescribable enthusiasm, " Vive l'Empereur 1" The grteater part of them quitted the theatre.

MARSEILLES, Sept. 11.—An order was received here this afternoon by the military authorities not only to suspend the embarkation of boriabshells, which were being shipped in great quantities, but likewise to land those already shipped on board the transports in the harbour. This order is the na tural consequence of the glorious capture of the southern portion of Sebastopol by the allied armies, announced here yesterday morning by private de spatches, and confirmed by a despatch subsequently received by the Prefect, and read to the public at the theatre last evening. The despatch was re ceived by a crowded house with great cheering and enthusiastic cries of " Vive l'Empereur," and " Vive la France." The splendid victory is being officially announced this evening, by the firing of the guns of the forts. Preparations are likewise being made to illuminate the public buildings. PRUSSIA. In consequence of the reduction of the Prussian artillery, the sale of a number of horses commenced at Wesel a few days ago; it attracted a large at tendance of purchasers, and the horses fetched from 100 to 150 thalers each (the thaler is somewhat - under 41r.) A letter from Berlin says that the King of Prus sia is to arrive at Nordhausen on the 17th, and to be present at the mancouvres of troops in the pro vince. The King is then to proceed to Frankfort on-the-Maine, and at the end of September to Stol heafels. At the beginning of October, his Majesty is to , go to Cologne to lay the first stone of the bridge over the Rhine, and is afterwards to re turn to Berlin by way of Westphalia. The Prince of Prussia left Brussels on the 11th to rettun to Germany. RUSSIA. A letter from St. Petersburg announces the arrival of the Grand Duke Michael at Revel on the 24th ult., where he was received by General Grabb. The allied fleet of Nargen consisted &- that date of 68 vessels, including 20 transports and 2 yachts ; while, on the sth ult., the number amounted to 107 sail. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the Bth have arrived. The Queen had not approved of the new organisa tion of the royal household, having taken time to examine it ; it is based on that of the court of Eng land. The Clamor Public() mentions a report that M. Patricio de la Escosura is to be nominated Am bassador Extraordinary in Portugal, and is to attend in that capacity the coronation of Doi, Pedro V. The sale of the ecclesiastical and na tional property was continuing with marked suc cess ; the biddings everywhere had exceeded the upset prices. It was thought that in the course of the year the sales will amount to between 300,000,000 and 400,000.000 reals. The Duchess of Genoa has sent 1,003 fr. to the committee for the Piedmontese army iu tee Crimea. RIVER PLATE AND BRAZILS.

RIO MARKETS. AUGUST 11. Taken altogether, the business of the month was to a full average amount. Imparts were upon an extensive scale, and as a neces sary consequence most descriptions declined in value. Little was done in produce early in the month, in consequence of high prices and adverse advices from Europe. A scarcity of bills upon Earope rendered the exchange flit for the steamer. In other respects the money market offered but little interest. Discounts ruled at 8. to 91; 9 was the general rate for approved paper. A fair inquiry prevailed through out the month. Exchange opened later than usual, the bulk of the transactions having occurred from the 11th to the 13th. London, 274 t,) at 90 de. were the first rates quoted, and the market rapidly declined t,) 27 ds., the closing quotation for Avon, and the rate at which the largest amount was negotiated. PERNAMBUCO. IMPORTS.—Within the short interval since the date of the last market account, not a vessel with cargo has entered the port. EXPORTS.—Sugar —We cannot note anything of mo ment with regard to this article, and the little we have now on hand in store is held at higher prices than pur chasers are inclined to give. In Ex:thange, about 1.5,000/. have been passed within the two or three days prior to the departure of the steamer, at 27k, and we consider the rate firm. In discounts bank rate continues at 7 per cent. per annum, and they hold a good amount for negotiating. THE PENINSULAR MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY MORNING. The Tagus has arrived, with Peninsular mails. She also brings 67 passengers, and 5,5001. specie. Her dates are—Gibraltar, Sept. 4 ; Cadiz, Sept. 5 ; Lisbon, Sept. 9 ; Oporto and Vigo, Sept. 10.

Compared with last week, the arrivals of English wheat coastwise and by land carriage have been on the increase ; nevertheless, the show of samples here today was very limited. For all kinds we had a steady, though not to say brisk, demand, at the extreme rates of Monday. The supply of foreign wheat was very moderate. Importers almost generally he'd their samples for higher rates ; but the amount of business doing was small. Floating cargoes were again dearer. The barley trade was firm, and fine samples were Is per quarter dearer. We had a good demand for malt, at full quotations. There was a fair sale for oats, at 6d per qr more money Beans, peas, and flour supported previous rates. •RRIVAIA THIS WILEII. Barley. ( Malt.

The numbers of sheep were seasonab'y good, and the demand was excessively heavy ; indeed, so little business was doing that prices were almost nominal. Lambs are now out of season. There was a large show of calves, which sold slowly, at barely station ary prices. In pigs about an average business was doing, at full quotations.

THE FALL OF SEBASTOPOL.—The following is the flattering defence of the Russian journal Le Nord for the evacuation of this fortress:—" The resolution of Prince Gortschakoff exhibits the energy of a great commander. It saves Russia from an inextricable position, into which a false interpretation of the point of honour would have thrust her. The Russian army concentrated north of Sebastopol will henceforth have that unity of movement and action which until now it has wanted. The Sebas topol of the south is replaced by the Sebastopol of the • north--a formidable position, bristling with innumerable guns—which a compact army henceforward will defend. Impartial history will speak of the defence of Seba.topol, as well as of the Attack upon it, by assigning to besiegers and besieged their due share of self-sacrifice and obsti nate courage. It will also do justice to the resolution of Prince Gortschakoff, who, by making a momentary sacrifice and avoiding a useless effusion of blood, has hr-served for Russia an army trained to war by a strug. gle 01 a year's duration, which for intensity has no parallel in military annals, and placed that army in a position which enables him to command the situation."
