THE NORTH SIDE of SEBASTOPOL to be TAKEN.—The plans of operation not being made public, but a general impression existing that successful measures will soon be adopted, it is the north and wintery side of the Russian fortifications which will next fall before the Allies, and furnish another instance of military skill and persevertmee. The attack on the south has succeeded, and the surrender of the forts has revealed valuable mill. tary provisions. By the force of comparison every one will perceive the analogy between these circumstances and the business of E. .MOSES and SON. The success of their summer campaign has been fullv attested, and has revealed the vast commercial forces they command. The light, the waterrroof, the attractive, and the gen tlemanly garments, which have been so approved, have risen above all criticism, and left every one vocal in praise of the generalship of E. MosEs and Sox. The Autumn and Winter season approaches ; the opponents of personal comfort must again be combatted ; the resources are ample and the arrangements complete. The Kertch Jacket and the Emperor's Cape, in which the materi als are seasonable, the designs popular, the effect highly satisfactory, comfort secured in every way by these garments, and by thousands of oiler elegant and novel inventions. The north completely con quered with superlative Dress, Hosiery, Boets and Shoes, &c., &c., at extraordinarily economical prices. Every article of Attire required by Sportsmen is furnished ►y E. Moms and Sox. Their Sporting Dress is the most comfortable and easy. Novel ID materials and design, it imparts a graceful appear ' ante and maintains universal approbation. Rats and Caps for Sportsmen of the most novel and serviceable order. The largest stock of Boots for sporting excursions, of very supe r riormaterials and workmanship, at very reasonable p.:ces. Hosiery for Sportsmen, the newest articles in the greatest variety. Prices always very economical. Sportsmen in the country can obtain net- dress complete, in an inimitable tit, by application for E. MOSES and Sores system of self • Measurement, sent post free to all parts of the kingdom. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the Public against imposition, having learned that the nntradesman-like falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's ' the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for Obvious reasons. They beg to state that they have • No CONNEXION WITH ANT OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as under : ' London City Establishment, 154, 155. 156, and 157, Minories, 83. 81 , ' l 5, and 86, Aldgate, opposite theChnrch, r l l communicating.

ON TRUE dr FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA, with the View of distinguishing the Imaginary from the Real Sufferers under this disease, and Correcting of wide-spread Errors in relation to their Treatment and Cure. From the German of Dr. PICKFORD. With an Introduction by the Editor, containing a complete exposure of the system of terrorism and extortion pursued by the advertising quacks of the metropolis towards those who are credulous enough to seek their aid. ".Dr. Plckford Is known to English readers by his frequent practi cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs as, that he has addressed himself to the noa-medi cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his -ower to cor rect."—Lendon Medical Gazette.'" The tribe of Quiet Sympathisers,' and ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed; and if this book could find Its way into the hands of those who suffer from the com plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize— much money This volume is well qualified to put an end to the empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat ment upon a more rational and physiological basis.

M.D. V, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, motor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin• burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., the essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con quences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, Mai have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man. cod, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any 'her class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is articularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of haying hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled: _ _ . It is absolutely necessary that all men should know, that there are ,chiciples of personal management which cannot be violated without ncurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed 'e heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties ay be mitigated, hew the sting of their bitterness may be removed, .nd bow the evil and its consequences may he avoided, and above all, at there !s scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional erangement to which the t'mely aid of science cannot apply a cure. 'he Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive .T actice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have - iertunately been too generally contide,d to the care of ignorant emiiries, who Indict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

A GERMANY OF GERMANS. What hero now the Chief would be Of one united Germany ? Italy free, let him proclaim, Poland and Hungary the same. Free press, free speech, and senate free, And every kind of liberty, Of tongue, of pan, of hand and arm, But that of doing others harm. Should such a Chief his standard raise, Would not all Germany outblaze, All Germans round that ensign band, With rifle and with sword in hand ? The Czar's vice-kaiser and vice-kings They would release from apron-strings ; And give, unpion'd from female gowns, Them decent hats for shabby crowns. Then would all Europe stand allied, Against brute force controll'd by pride, Her civilised nations leagued to pen The Russians in their proper den. A kingdom, then, the world would see, Or commonwealth of Germany ; And he who held the first command Would Father be of Fatherland. , Punch. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.—CAMBRIDGE, Oct 2.

The Sardinian Minister of War has received the following despatch relative to Sebastopol from the Cominander•in-Chief of the Sardinian forces in the East : KADIKOI, Sept. 11.—By a telegraphic despatch of the 9th I informed your Excellency of the strik ing success obtained on the previous day by the Allies against Sebastopol. I now transmit to you the details which I have been able to collect, and the facts which came under my own observation. After a formidable bombardment, commenced in the morning of the sth, by all the batteries of at tack, and directed simultaneously against the Cen tral Bastion, the Flagstaff Battery, the Malakhoff Tower, and the Grand Redan, interrupted at in tervals, and then resumed with fresh energy, at the rate of 100 guns a minute, it was decided that the columns of attack should be directed in succession against the entrenchments of the enemy. (The despatch here goes into a description of the works and the mode of attack agreed upon, the whole of which have been given at great length in the re port of Marshal PeEasier, and then proceeds.) At noon, the Ist Division, under General M‘Mahon, and the corps of General Bosquet, which had been suitably arranged in the extreme trenches, oppo site Malakhoff, left them en masse, and rushed on the enemy's entrenchments, provided with scaling ladders, bridges, and everything necessary to cross the trenches. The head of the column in an in stant had crossed the first ditch, got behind the first line and the enclosure cf the inner redoubt, and then rushed from the top of the parapets into the middle of the work, commencing a hand-te hand struggle with the defenders, almost before the latter were aware of having been attacked. Ia less than 20 minutes the whole of the redoubt was car ried, notwithstanding the high traverses, which ren dered the defence of it easy •, and the flag of the 20th Regiment of the Line already floated in the centre. All the troops of the First Division followed into the redoubt after the head of the column, crossing the ditch under a fire of grape from the batteries which the Russians had erected to flank Malakohff. The casemated tower alone held out, defended by about 100 Russians, who had shut themselves up in it, and annoyed with their fire the French who were masters of the redoubt. The division of General De La Motterouge simultaneously at tacked the curtain between Malakhoff and the Little Redan, took it, and maintained themselves inside the place, while the division of General Dulac, ad vancing in front against the Little Redan, was ex posed to a terrible fire, and could not advance be yond the ditch. In the Little Redan were collected a large body of Russian troops, supported by mime rous reserves massed in the rear. While things were thus going on on the right the French occu pied and kept the Malakhoff Redoubt, notwith standing the vigorous efforts made by large Rus sian masses, who, during several hours, returned in . vain to the charge to retake it. They were at the same time maintaining a sanguinary struggle in the Little Redan, and the English troops at tacked the Great Redan. The English riflemen first quitted their trenches a few minutes after 12 o'clock, threw themselves across the ditch, and oldly gained the parapet, followed by the 23d and 97th of the Light Division and by other regiments. These a troops penetrated into the work began having strugglehand to hand. They gained pos session of the work and held it for some time, in spite of the desperate efforts of the enemy to drive them back. By reason, however, of the difficulty of supporting them by more imposing forces, the courage of these brave soldiers could not stand against so many attacks from overwhelming num bers. The English, after remaining masters of the Great Redan for more than an hour, were compelled to abandon it, after suffering a heavy loss both in officers and soldiers. Malakhoff being taken, or ders were g iven about o ne o ' c l oc k t o th e I s t corps of General de Galles to commence the attack on the left. The troops of this corps destined for the assault had been ready in position in the extreme L trenches ; the division. Levailloaat opposite the Central Bastion ; the Brigade Cialdini opposite the Flag-staff Battery ; and the division d'Autemarre in reserve. The wind from the north raised such a cloud of dust, and the .smoke was so dense, that for a long time the transmission of signals was im possible. It was only at two o'clock that the cap ture of Malakhoff was confirmed, and that it was known that the signal of attack against the Cen tral Bastion had been given. General de Salles immediately ordered forward the division Levail lant. The first brigade, under General Trochu, was directed against the salient of the work, and the brigade of Couston against the lu nette to the right. In an instant the heads of these two columns had crossed the ditch and climbed the slopes of the parapet, exposed for some minutes to a shower of • hand grenades, , which the Russians threw from the top of the pa rapet, and to the fire of musketry from the pas sages leading to the ditch. General de Salles was accompanied by Major Govone, 'Capt. Prola, and Lieutenants Galli and Balbo ; the three first were slightly wounded. To the cryof 'Vivo I'Empereur!' raised by Gen. de Salles and repeated - by the troops, the heads of the columns threw themselves reso lutely into the interior of the work, driving back the Russians at the point of the bayonet. The res tot the two columns, the 42d and 46th Regiment 4, and the oth battalion of Chasseurs followed and kept up a sanguinary struggle with the enemy.- These troops maintained their ground for a quarter of an hour in the inside of the Central Bastion; and then meet ing with fresh obstacles and fresh columns threat ening them on their flank, a movement of hesita tion manifested itself. The firmness of Generals de Salles, Rivet, Lebceuf, and Dulesme, and the other officers in immediate command of the troops, re- : stored cenfidence. The troops again rushed for ward. They re-entered t,4 work in spite of a f.re mendous fire of grape, which ploughed up the ground in every direction. A Russian battery of 15 guns was spiked by the French artillerymen in side the Central Bastion, and if the ground had offered more facilities for the movement of the re serves and reinforcements, these troops would, per haps, have been able to maintain themselves in the conquered bastion. Being, however, much inferior in number to the enemy, and decimated by the ter rible fire of grape which the Russians kept pouring against the front and the flank of the columns, these troops were compelled after three hours to return to their trenches. They had, in this short spaceof time, lost Gen. Rivet, the chief of the staff of the Ist corps General Breton, both killed, and Generals Trochu and Couston, wounded on the enemy's parapet at the head of their troops, and a great number of superior and other officers. The French batteries then re-opened their fire against the Russian works, but about half-past four the fire had ceased on all the left attack. The late hour would not allow the assault to be renewed with fresh troops. The order fOr the attack of the Flagstaff Bastion, which had been confided to a brigade of our troops under General Cialdini, was then withdrawn, as it had become impossible. I avail myself of this opportunity to point out to your Excellency the confidence with which the royal troops awaited the order of attack. The taking of the Malakhoff, which was the essential object of the General-in- Chief, was obtained, and produced the most com plete result. The Russians employed the whole night in preparing the destruction of the town and their retreat by the bridge which they had lately erected. (The report concludes with an account of the firing of the town and the blowing up of the forts, full details of which have already appeared in the despatches of Marshal Pelissier, and followed by a list of five Sardinian officers wounded in the trenches on the Bth, and four soldiers killed and 31 wounded.) " ALPHONSE DE LA MAR➢IORA." LETTERS FROM SEBASTOPOL. The following extract of a letter from the officer of the Highland Brigade who first entered the Redan on the night it was evacuated by the Rus sians will be read with interest. Until he and his party explored it the Allies were not aware that the Russians had retired : " I will give , you a short detail of how matters went on the Bth inst. The Highland Division, consisting of four regiments—namely, the 42d, 72d, 79th, and 93d— marched from our present camp at Damara about 8 a.m. on the Bth inst., arriving at our old encampment about 10, when we put off our knapsacks and feather bonnets, roiled our great coats in trench order, like a dragoon's cloak, to throw over the shoulder like a sash. This done, we marched off to the trenches, where we arrived about 12 o'clock, just in time to hear the first of the bombardment. We marched in, under a heavy fire of shot and shell, to the trenches at the 21-gun battery, where we remained in reserve fur about an hour. We were then moved up to No. 8 battery, where we were kept under a sharp fire till between five and six o'clock in the evening, when we marched forward to the advance to relieve the troops who were stationed there for the day, and such of those as remained of the storming party, who, I presume, were few in number, as our loss was very great in officers, non-commissioned officers, and men, particularly the first two classes. We have been very fortunate, as we have only lost two men killed on the spot, and seven lhore severely wounded. When we went to the front trench we had nothing to do, as there was little firing from the time the Russians drove the Second Division out of the Redan until we went up. I may mention that the French took the Malakhoff about one o'clock, and when the Russian troops escaped from the Malakhoff they retired into the Redan, over powering our people, who had to leave the place, the Russians killing every one they could, and causing the others to leave, being unable to hold it. Things remained in this position till about 11 o'clock at night, when they began blowing up some magazines and felts behind the Redan, in the suburbs of the town. I stood looking while they sent two or three batteries in the air, until I felt cold and very uncomfortable. By way of giving myself a heat and some amusement, I walked along the advanced trench until I came to a new work lately erected. Being curious to know what was doing in our front, I marched up this trench for the first time. I bad not gone over 20 yards when I stumbled i u th e dark over three or four dead men, through whom I ma d e my way as I best could, till I was called to by a man of the 19th, who asked me who I was. When I made answer, lie requested me to have him removed, as be said he bad only a broken arm. I answered that I would do what I could for bin. We had not done talking when I was called to by about 10 or 12 men at once to get them assistance, as they could not get any one to pay any attention to their requests. When I passed along the trench to the far end I heard a poor fellow say, " Here's a kilty officer, ho will get us taken out of this." Listening to such remarks as "Take us out of this for the love of God, as there is nothing the matter with us but broken legs .and broken arms, and we will pray for you while we live," I passed on, promising to attend to them as soon as I returned. I then left the trench, and went on to the plaits open field between the Redan and our trenches, where our poor soldiers were lying as thick as you sae the men on boardship when they used to lie on the deck. I examined the way to the Redan until I was satisfied that I could make my way into it. I then faced about, and directed my steps to the general in command of the trenches, to whom I reported the state of the wourded. lie ordered the two regiments in front to have them re moved ; and I was turning to leave the general of the trenches (Cameron), when I met Sir Colin Campbell, the General of the Highland Division, to whorl I made known the miseries of the wounded men of the divisions that attacked ; I also made mention of what I thought of the renowned Redan, and my inspection of the way up to it, asking permission to go up and examine it pro perly. The leave was granted, with an order to take 10 men with me, if I could get 10 to volunteer for the service. I proceeded to where the light company of the 93d were, when I made offer of such a proposal as vo lunteers for the Redan for the purpose of gong into it to inspect it, and I am proud to say I had my party made up in about a minute, with as many more if I would take them. I dressed them to my own taste, so as to get close up to the barrier and ditch before we could be noticed. This done, we marched off. many doubting if ever any of us would return, as a whole di vision and a brigade were repulsed in the same place during the day. When we passed along the advanced trench on to the open, we lay down for a little to see if all was quiet. We then moved on in company with a party of the 72d, for whom I had to go back a second time 'before I could find them to go on. When all got to the open, we started to our feet, and soon made our way into the ditch ; but, to our horror, w h en we came to the bottom, we found our own poor fellows in heaps above one another. We sprang across to the other side of the ditch, over wounded, dying, and dead, scrambling up the parapet like as many cats. I went in an open ing where there was a 68 pounder gu n po i nt i ng out. I ran to examine about the gun, traverses, pits dug by them for concealing their men from our shot, shell, &c., and this done I examined the interior of the Redan, where there was nothing but horrid confusion—Rus sians and British mixed altogether, with here and there a British soldier grasping the Russian by the breast of the coat, with the hold still firma in his hand, but stretched dead on the ground. When I satisfied myself that there were none in the Redan but wounded and dying men, I gave the word to my party to retire, who obeyed like soldiers. We then let ourselves down the 15 feet of a bank that we came up before, and were soon in the ditch and on to the plain, when I gave over the party to the other officer who accompanied me, and made my way back to Sir Colin, whom I found in the advanced trench, and to whom I reported what had taken place. He shook me by the hand, and thanked me for the service performed. I then went to the rear and reported Day safe arrival to Colonel Hay, who, with the other officers and men, were proud of the news that the Redan was at their corn malid."—North, British Daily Mail. From a private soldier in the second battalion• of the Rifle Brigade : " You have, I know, heard of the fall of the south side of Sebastopol long before you receive this, which I am very glad to tell you is true this time ; and I know that you will be glad to hear that this poor child has got off so luckily as he has. it was kept very quiet this time ; in fact, we knew nothing of the attack until the previous evening, and then they s erv e d out two days' rations to be cooked, and in our haversaCks by six o'clock a.m. ; then we knew what was up. That was the time for the canteens ; almost every one that had any money took good care to spend it before they went, for none knew whether they would come back or net. " We paraded at a quarter-past a.m., and piled arms. We had the order to fall in P - •out half-past 9, and marched dovVn to the trenches, where we lay until about 12 o'clock, when we had the order to come to the front. By this time the French had attacked the Ma lakhoff, and planted their eagle inside, the Russians flying from the Malakhoff and all parts of the town into the Redan, so that when the ,storming party went up to the Redan, they were very well able to receive them. Our regiment marched up to the advance trench, and directly after the order came for our men to go over the parapet, although there were two regiments that ought to have gone before us. Our colonel then mounted the parapet, and cried out, Now my boys,' waving his sword over his head. I was close to him at the time, but there were two men who got over before was the third. Directly we got over, we bad to run through a complete storm of grape and canister, and the rifle balls whizzing round our heads like flies round a sugar basin ; in fact, it seemed almost impos sible to get to the Redan without being knocked over. It almost seemed to me that some had a charmed life. I bad men fall in front, rear, and each side of me every few yards that went. At last I reached. the Redan isuburt. n- - impossible to de ,, c-ibe the ideite"fiats was a ditch at least 20 feet from the top of the Redan ; this was covered with red soldiers when we came up, but it soon became dotted with black coats. In the ditch were the dead and dying. In spite of the deter mined manner of our soldiers, the Russians succeeded in flanking us and driving us back, throwing stones, hatchets, and all sorts of missiles at us. The sight then was awful. As aeon as we had the word to retire, I felt myself slipping down (for where we were was like a steep bank). I looked into the diteb, and that was filled with red soldiers, with their bayonets fixed ; but I happened to see a place left vacant. I jumped down, and was no sooner down than I had a dozen or two over me—the bank had given way, and down they came on the top of me. I made sure that I never should get out alive, but still I tried ; but I was so crushed that I had no strength left in me, so I lay quiet. After about five minutes I felt a shift, and got my right arm loose, for I was wedged in by a poor fellow that fell on his - head, and I believe broke his neck. I then managed to get free from my load, and scrambled up the bank which I rolled down, and there I lay a minute or two to get breath. I then got up and ran about 10 paces; then I got a clout on the 'nut,' which sent me spinning, but I got up again, and ran on till I got in the trench. I forgot to tell you that while I lay in the ditch the men's rifles kept falling down, and the bayonets sticking into the poor fellows as they lay. I had one that caught me in the ear, and gave me a bit of a nick, but it was only a scratch. We lost 1 captain and 1 officer and 3 sergeants ; 3 officers and 3 sergeants wounded, and about 200 privates killed and wounded,. Believe me it was a fearful day. I never wish for such another. "Half-past 8 o'clock at Night. —I have just come back from Sebastopol. I went down with a great coat for a man on duty. The town is in ablaze. I should think there are at least 1,000 houses on fire ; it is a splendid sight—a second Moscow. They are all going away from the south side as fast as they can, so I think that we shall soon have it all to ourselves : and so much the better, for their room is a great deal better than their company. The French are very brave men ; they attacked the Ma lakhoff in prime style But they had no distance to run ; where they had not above 100 yards to run, we had 200 or 250, which is a great deal of difference. They only had two large guns fired at them in advancing; we had to advance under a heavy fire of grape, canister, and shell ; but, although they beat us back, we made it too hot to hold them. No one would believe what a strong place the Redan is the engineer officers said that they might have bombarded for 50 years, and not made any impres sion on it ; and as for the troops shot nor shell could not hurt them if they chose to look out. But I hope that Lord Palmerston will be satisfied now, and give us a chance to winter somewhere else, for it is getting very cold now towards morning. Remember me to all in quiring friends, and tell them that I hope soon to be in Old England again, and believe me to remain, " YOUR AFFECTIONATE FRIEND." From William Snow, aged 18, who unlisted about 12 months since in the Royal Artillery " Camp before Sebastopol, Sept. 11, 1855. " Dear Father and Mother,—l write these few lines to you on a small bit of Russian paper. I hope it will find you in good health, as it leaves me at present, thank God for it. Dear father and mother, we have taken Sebas topol at last. We took it in high spirits, and cut every thing down we came across. We bombarded the place for four days, and on the Bth our allies stormed it, bllw ing up their magaz'nes and burning the shipping. The came day the Russians fled away to the north side, where we could not reach them ; but there were but very few of them, for they have lost thousands. What few ships we left the Russians sank. We had saved them for prizes, but they took us in, and I think we took them in, for their stores were full of articles, but we were not allowed to touch them. I have got a few arti cles, and I will have something more yet, I hope. My cousin Charles escaped the battle as well as myself, and he is doing well—likewise cousin Snow Dilks ; and I hope the next letter I write to you will be news that I am coming to Old England, the place that I thought I should never see any more, but I have a little hope of it now, as we cannot do more at Sebastopol. I think the Emperor Alexander must give up, for he is crip pled now, if ever he was. I hope I shall have my Christ mas dinner with you at Christmas. lam so pleased that I cannot write ; so no more at present from your affec tionate son, " W. SNOW, the Young Conqueror." BRUTAL ASSAULTS ON WOMEN. (From the Derbyshire Courier.) For several years we have thought it our duty to urge upon the public, and through their influence and that of the public press, upon Parliament, the necessity of checking, by greatly increased severity of punishment, the increased and increasing amount of atrocious bru talities perpetrated by certain miscreants of the lowest orders (the term is quite appropriate) on women. For a considerable time few public writers rendered auy assistance in the attempt to obtain redress for the weakest and most defenceless members of the commu nity. 'We felt perfectly certain that redress must come. Eut out of regard to the character of our countrymen, and from a wish to diminish the amount of aggravated human suffering, we urged on Parliament immediate attention to this subject. Lord Palmerston, much to his discredit, insisted on " waiting a little longer," till a few more wretched women had been beaten, kicked, and knocked into eternity. It was, indeed, according to his Lordship's view, a grave consideration whether the women-beaters and women-kickers should be degraded by the infliction of corporal punishment. This grievance was therefore left to the usual course of grievances in England—viz., to increase and expand till it became intolerable. That period appears now to have arrived, and Parlia ment and Lord Palmerston—now that " the Times has written a strong article on the subject "—will perhaps condescend to notice the disgraceful state of the law under which brutalities which render the name of Englishman a byword and a hissing throughout the civilised world, are daily perpetrated in London and our large towns, and daily reported and sent to every quarter of the globe. Why did not the Times express the opinions which they have expressed in an article which we give in another column two years ago ? Because it is notorious that the Times does not aspire to lead the public forward in the cause of justice and humanity, but comes boldly forward to advocate the right when the right has become the popular feeling. However, better late than never, and so we are ready to give the Times all the credit, and more than all the credit it deserves, for its advocacy of the cause of the hapless victims of these brutal assault cases. The punishment of six months' imprisonment is, says the Times " a sigral failure." The brutality of numbers of the working classes to women and children is a " blot upon our age." " Something," says the Englishman's oracle, after keeping silence through years of this state of "horrid barbarity"—" Something must be done." That something is, we hear ail Englishmen say, who now discuss the subject in public and private, to flog men for half-murdering their wives, and hang them when they go a little too far, and murder them outright. The poor should also have the same facilities as the rich in obtaining divorces. " Unmarried women," says the Times, " are just as frequently the subjects of attacks as married women." True, but the law does not bind the unmarried woman for life to a brutal wretch. A man cannot legally break into the house of the unmarried mother of his children, and deprive her and them of the fruits of their industry whenever he wants means of his own self-indulgence. At all events an unmarried woman can leave her brutal persecutor whenever she pleases — the married woman with a brutal husband is a hopeless slave for life, and her tyrant knows it. This state of things being a disgrace to our;u e n h t a ry :e a disgrace to the national character, and a disgrace to Parliament, let us hope that for very shame, if no higher or better feeling, these awful brutalities will be, as far as human laws avail, prevented. HONOUR TO THE P ROFES SION OF MEDICINE.—The King of Belgium has just created eighteen of the mo=t distinguished physicians in his kingdom Knights of the Order of Leopold. (From the Times of this day.) After the first outbreak of the great revolutionary war Prussia contrived for many years to keep herself free from entangling alliances, and, by a vacillating and discreditable but, up to a certain point, successful policy, to preserve to h er su bj ec t s th e bl e ssings of a dishonour able peace long after the rest of Europe was weakenedand desolated by war. B u t a ll thi s c aution and tuna- ming availed not. The wheel of destiny revolved, and Prussia could no longer avoid confronting those dangers which she bad so meanly and pusillanimously avoided. The great military Power of Germany—the school of heroes, the elysium of tacticians, whose reviews were visited from every part of Europe by all the students of high military art—fell prostrate at a single blow, like a giant without a heart, on the field of Jena, and sur remlered within 15 days all her strong places into the hands of the conqueror. But we doubt if even this disastrous reverse, and all the unspeakable humiliation that succeeded it, so effectually lowered the character and prestige of the Prussian monarchy as the course adopted by the degenerate successor of Frederick the Great during the last three years. His con duct has proclaimed to the world that the Royal family of Prussia regards itself as the mere leader of the van of Russian aggression, —satraps nominally inde pendent, because it suits the purposes of their master that they should be so, but really speaking the language and doing the will of a foreign and hostile Power. The effect of this has been twofold ; it has completely de graded Prussia from the rank of a first-rate Power, making her presence in the councils of Europe a mere fraud, which, under the semblance of equality, really gives two votes out of five to Russia. The second effect is, unless we be much mistaken, to establish a wide and impassable breach between the Court and people of Prussia. Every feeling of the nation—its patriotism, its independence, its Spartan courage, its highly developed intelligerme—has been hurt- and lacerated to the very quick by the disgraceful spectacle of the last few years. The names of the Royal family are associated in the minds of the people with the notions of foreign subjec tion, national degradation, and the systematic sacrifice of Prussian interests to Russian influence. The nation neither loves nor fears its King, and views in him and his family the representation of that which it both fears and hates. We snake these remarks not with a view of exciting any ill feeling betw een this country and Prussia, but because they happen to have an immediate bearing on a very delicate and interesting subject. On the very day on which we announced the capture of Sebastopol it also transpired that Prince Frederick 'William of Prussia had arrived at Balmoral for the purpose of " improving his acquaintance with the Princess Royal." It is under stood, so far as a matter of this kind can be understood, that in the year 1851, when her Royal Highness had attained the mature age of ten years, a kind of prelimi nary understanding was entered into that she was one day to become the bride of this young Prince, the heir presumptive to the Prussian Crown ; and now that the Princess has attained the age of fifteen years it may be supposed that the negotiation is about to advance an other stage. It is the misfortune of Royalty that these domestic transactions, which in private life are concealed under so much reserve, must inevitably be treated as matters of public concern, involving as they do not merely the happiness or misery of two young people, but questions of policy and alliance most important to the future destiny of empires and of kingdoms. Is it, then, or is it not expedient, that a daughter of England should take her place upon the throne of Prussia ; and, in forwarding such a match, are the parties princi pally concerned consulting the happiness of the young Princess, or the safety, honour, and welfare of our So vereign and her dominions ? We lay no stress on the fact of the rapid and visible decay of Prussian power and influence since 1851 ; nor, following the precedents of former times, should we regard it as any substantial objection if King Frederick William should succeed in placing what was once a great Power on a level with the petty kingdoms of Saxony, Bavaria, or Wurtem berg. It has never been the policy of England to seek the alliance of first-rate States ; and whenever she has deviated from that policy she has seen reason to repent it. In one sense, however, au alliance with Prussia may be considered as a step towards an alliance with Russia. The two Royal families are inextricably en twined in the bonds of relationship, of sympathy, and of mutual interest ; and it needs little argument to prove that the present is, at any rate, an ill-chosen time for bringing us into contact with the Court of St. Petersburg, or raising a suspicion of its in fluence over any portion of the Royal family of Eng land. In humbling Russia we are not only reducing a barbarous and aggressive power, but plucking up from the very depths of the ocean that mighty anchor upon which all the anti-popular dynasties of Europe hops to ride out the storm of public indignation and contempt. Why should we place a daughter of England in a situa tion in which devotion to her husband must be treason to her country—why distract her mind between wishes for the welfare of the family which she has left and that into which she is to be received ? Nor is this all. Who is there that does not see that the days of these paltry German dynasties are numbered, and that it is as im possible for them to survive the downfall of Russian in fluence as for the branches to outlive the trunk that gives them sap and nutriment ? Upon what, indeed, do they rest when deprived of these alien anti exotic in fluences ? From their subjects they have withheld the liberty they promised, and made its loss only the more keenly felt by adding foreign degradation to internal servitude. They await but the first blast that shakes the forest to fall prostrate, bearing down with them in their ruin the lesser plants that have sought shelter un der their shade. The banishment of the Royal family seems an indispensable step in the course of freedom. It has been so in England, in France, and in Spain ; how long may it be until it is so in Prussia also ? Suppose this marriage to take place, who can tell how soon we may see the Princess whose betrothal to a mem ber of the house of Hohenzollern is now being hurried on with such ill-omened haste return to these shores, etript of the pomp and dignity with which she departed from them, to find as an exile and a fugitive in the home of her ancestors that asylum which already receives with in its arms so many of the great ones of the earth ? Or, far worse, why may it not be the fate of this Prussian Prince, as of so many others of Royal and noble lineage, to enter the Russian service, and to pass those years which flattering anticipation now destines to a crown in ignominious attendance as a General officer on the levee of his Imperial Master, having lost even the privilege of his birth, which is conceded to no German in Russia ? Why link the fortunes of a daughter of England with all this uncertainty—all this danger ? Why embark anew on the troubled sea of internal German politics, from which the devolution of Hanover to the male branch has so happily relieved us ? Surely, the same considerations which would render it most imprudent for a private citizen of assured position and easy fortune to unite his daughter to a man engaged in hazardous speculations ought to apply with tenfold force to an union with the bankrupt dynas ties that yet for a little while encumber the central thrones of Central Europe. What is his Prussian Ma jesty to us, or we to him ? We never seem to agree to do the same thing at the same time. When in 1850 he armed against Austria we were anxious for peace ; now we are involved in war, he in protocols. What sympathy can exist between a Court supported like ours on the solid basis of popular freedom and national respect, and a camarilla just engaged in the interests of a foreign patron in trampling out the last embers of popular go vernment which a revolution, re-isted with perfidy, yielded to with cowardice, and quelled with insolence, had left behind it Fur our part, we wish for the daughters of our Royal house some better fate than union with a dynasty which knows neither what is due to its own dignity, to the rights of the people over which it presides, nor to the place it occupies in the great Euro pean confederacy ; and we regard it as a poor sequel to ' the efforts which have broken the strength of Russia that we should ally ourselves with Princes who are only too happy to be ranked among her pensioners and sup porters. The people of England, at all events, have no wish to improve their acquaintance with any Prince of the house of Hohenzollern. THE PERILS OF A DIVER. A New York paper publishes the following extra o cts , from a letter, giving an interesting account o f an almost successful attempt to recover the money lost in the steamer Atlantic on Lake Erie, about three years ago —" Pt. Dover, Aug. 26, 1855. —You no doubt have heard of the many unsuccessful attempts to obtain th e money chest lost with the steame r Atlantic, three years ago, said to contain 60,000 dollars. The statute, I be lieve, limits the claim of ownership over property thus lost in three years. In this case the time limited expired on the 20th inst., and Green, the celebrated submarine wreck, diver, reached here on the 21st o ,int hecanalschooner Yorktown, Captain Patterson, n his way to the 25 miles distant. They returned yesterday ; and being well acquainted with Ca p tain Patterson I obtained the following account from him About 10 o'clock ( sa y s Captain P.) on the 24th, all being ready, Green descended by means of a line, which, having a gra pple on the end, had become fast to something below. Ile was dressed With three pair of flannel drawers, three shirts, also flannel ; three pair of woollen pants, three coats, and three pair of woollen stockings, s urmounted by his submarine armour ' • on his feet he had a ?air of sto g y shoes, with a lead so le half or five eighths of a n i nc h thick, and a belt of SOlb. of shot around his body, to sink him (and the breastplate of the armour cannot weigh less than 501b5.) Taking held of the line he descended, finding it perfectly light, so that ' he could see all around him to the depth of GO feet, when it grew dark, and for the remainder of his fearful journey amid the caverns of the deep he was guided solely by the lino until at the depth of 140 feet, when he struck bot tom, or something which he soon made out to be the wheelhouse of the ill-fated boat ; groping along, Ile slid on the hurricane deck, from thence to the guards of tie boat ; by poking around he discovered the precise posi tion of the boat, and found himself not far from the sought-for offices, and made fast the end of a lire which he had carried down with him to a stauncheon near the gangway, and giving the signal he Asce nded , carrying vEPAPET{ _ , , --- 7 ' .

He had gone down, in - 11, 152 feet, and remained just 40 minutes. After rest ing he again descended, first having partaken of a hearty meal without removing his dress, save the bead-piece. His excitement was intense at his success thus far, and when he descended the second time he was quite hot (the day Ras intensely hot). Descending by his second line he was soon on the deck; feeling his way along he soon reached the ' third' window, which being unbroken he shattered it, and reaching in his hand at last laid it upon the much coveted safe, just in the position in which it had been described to him. Not being able to reach far enough to make this line fast, he again ascended for a hook to hook through the handles ; reaching the deck he made known his success and require. ment, and as no hook was ready, sat down until one :yt could be secured to a line. As they were about ready he rolled over, saying he was sick. They stripped him and did all in their power for him, but were finally oLliged to buoy the lines, and make all sail for this place for medical attendance. They reached here at noon yesterday, and two physicians were immediately called, who expressed their opinion that he could not lire ; however, they laboured fitithfuly with him, and at night pronounced him better, and this morning, al• though not out of danger, it is thought he will live, and is in a very fair way for a sp ee d y recovery. ' He says if his life is spared he will be the owner of the chest. He will no doubt be more cautious in future how he makes a dive when he is warm, and on a full stomach. His first exclamation on his second ascension was, ' I touched the gold.' " MOT MARKET. It was mentioned last Thursday that the amount of gold originally arranged by the Bank of France to be obtained from this country was 1,600,0001., and that the greater part was believed to have been already sent. Later despatches, however, from well-informed quarters indicate that even this extraordinary statement was far below the truth. The sum originally obtained is now said to have been between 2,500,000/. aed 3,000,0001., and subsequently an additional total of 1,000,0001. has been purchased, the remittance of which is completed, or nearly so. Should this prove correct, it will suffi ciently account for the movements lately witnessed in the money-market, and which have excited perplexity in the mind of every one acquainted with the natural course of the trading relations of the country. The en• tire transaction is said to have been going on for more than six weeks, during which the rate of exchange has reached a point which with a slight further alteration would cause gold to flow from Paris to this side. That the operation has been purely artificial is evidenced by the fact that, if this country had been indebted to Franoe to the extent in question, the gold would have gone hence as a matter of course, and the Bank of France need not have troubled themselves to offer a price for it beyond its natural value. In whatever way the payment for the supply may thus far have been effected, it must consequently have been in great part of an equally artificial character. The money houses of Paris usually keep considerable quantities of Bank of England notes and short bills on Lon don in their portfolios, but, even if the market has tem. perarily bee❑ cleared of these for the purpose, the ex planation would seem very inadequate for an amount of such magnitude. Indeed the merchants and bankers of Paris seem to be contemplating a reaction as inevitable, and rumours have been circulated in the Prase and other newspapers of metho Is which are to be devised to meet it. Among other things a decree has been talked of to render it not compuhory for the Bank of France to pay in gold, but they are not at present under such compulsion. They are at liberty to pay in silver, if they prefer to return to that course, and, as gold has now risen to a premium at Paris, they would probably do so but for the inadequacy of their stock of that metal. Moreover, if they contemplated refusing gold, or even suspending specie payments altogether, it is little likely that they would use great and exceptional efforts to obtain gold, since the very object of the measure would be to dispense with the necessity for it. An increase of the capital of the Bank to double its present amount is another of the plans suggested, but it is impossible to say with what authority. The prevalence of these re ports, at all events, denotes that the position of the institution is not considered to be such as could occur in the ordinary course of sound management, and as sAne of them are of a character that might lead to great mischief, by occasioning a rush for coin, it is to be hoped they will soon be dissipated, and that the first step towards this consummation will consist in the ex pected advance of the rate of discount to 5 per cent, on Thursday next. Messrs. Tripp and Co., in their monthly circu lar on the money market, say:— "The fall of Sebastopol, the continuous exportation of gold, the increased demand for money, and the raising of the rates of interest by the Bank, first to 4 per cent., then to 41, and lastly to 5 per cent., are events of them selves sufficient to account for the more than usual per turbations which characterise the transactions of the stock and share and money markets of the past month. The raising of the rates of interest is justified by the fact, that since July the bullion in the Bank has de creased 5,000,0001., and the bills under discount have increased at the same ratio. But because the rate of in terest now charged by the Bank is 5 per cent., or that the bullion has decreased 5,000,0001, are either, or to gether, sufficient to cause the marked decline of price within the last few days in Consols and the other Go vernment Securities, we do not for one moment admit. When the rate of interest was previously at 5 per cent., Consols were 93, and at the corresponding period last year, when the bullion, as shown in the Bank returns, 105,5201. less than now, Consols were 951. In compar ing the prices of this year with those of last, practical men know that last year the market was oversold fully 0,000,0001., whereas this year there has been a steady supply of Consols of 1,600,000/. per month, commenc ing with May; and as this supply does not end until 18th December next, but has latterly been increased by the guaranteed Turkish Loan at the rate of 1,000,000/. per month, there is not a question that the supply of stock is now much greater than the demand, and as last year prices were artificially high, from the oversold state of the market, they are now suffering depression from an over-abundant supply. In 1847, when the loan of 8,000,000/. was contracted at 89. ; on Oct. 15, the day of payment of the last instalment, Consols were only Si, and on October 19, had fallen to 79.3, but these prices were the result, not only of a supply of stock, but of a panic-stricken money market ; the gold and bullion in the Bank were only 7,000,0001., the notes and coin in reserve were less than 31 millions, and the bills under discount exceeded 21,000,000/. There fore, we contend there is nothing in the present Bank returns which should excite more than ordinary prh- • dence, though the continuous supply of stock up to De cember next will doubtless depress prices. The great discrepancy between the prices of Consols and the Turkish 4 per Cents., guaranteed by England and France, and the dividends payable at the Bank of Eng land, requires notice. If Turkish 4 per Cent. Stock is at 101, Consols should be 75i ; or, conversely, if Consols are SB, Turkish 4 per Cents. should be 1171. 6s. Bd. Allowing 5 per cent. in favour of Consols, in consequence of the more popular character of the security, still the discrepancy can only be explained by the fact, that capi talists have no spare capital to purchase Turks, and that the present hollers are too weak to support their mar ket—another illustration of the effect on prices which an excessive supply of stock produces. The exchange of Consols into Turkish 4 per Cents. at present prices , would, under any circumstance, be attended with profit. Turkish 6 per Cents. guaranteed by the Egyptian tribute, after reaching 95,i, fell rapidly to 81, in conse quence of large amounts of stock suddenly thrown on the market by parties unable to hold. This stock, to be' in proportion with Peruvian 41 per Cents. at 76, should be 101. Railways, considering the general unsatisfac tory last half-yearly accounts, have only declined in pro portion to their deserts. Good dividend mines , and two or three of the favourite progressing mines, have been i n demand and have improved in price. Joint stock banks are in less request. Canada Land Shares rose rapidly to 1801., but have since receded to 1501. to 18:5/." THE CZAR PETER'S WAY OF NEGO TIATING- PEACE. (Frown Baneks' "Life of Pctcr, Czar of Ilfuseiovy." Printed in 1740.) When M. Osterman returned to Aland, in the month of April, it was less to negotiate than to menace the Swedes, for his Czarish Majesty (having captured Riga, &c.) had ordered him to declare, that unless they so opted in two month s ' ti me of the conditions proposed they must expect a visit from 40,000 plenipotentiaries, who wculd force them to it with sword in haul . . (He then naaee a descent on Sweden.) The account published at Petersburg, by order of the Czar, "to eternise" the memory of the work of these plenipotentiaries, is as follows :—Admiral Apraxin, for his part, bad burned or destroyed 6 good towns, 11 castles or palaces of brick, 109 of wood, belonging to noblemen, 826 villages and hamlets, 3 mills, 10 magazines, 2 mines of Copper, and 5 mines of iron. Major-General Lesly, on his part, had reduced to ashes 2 towns, 21 castles or noblemen's houses, 535 villages and hamlets, 40 mills, 16 magazines, and 9 mines of iron (for one of which the Swedes had offered 300,100 rig dollars, to save it from ruin). They destroyed also the corn and forage, and killed all the cattle and horses that they could not carry off with them. They put on board their vessels all the iron they were able, and the rest, to the number of 80,000 bars, they threw into the sea. The design of the Czar, in all these burnings and de vastations, was (says his eulogist) to bring the Court of Sweden to accept of such conditions as he was willing to impose upon it. To which purpose, he sent Conn. sellor Osterman thither, charged with a commission to make the hardest propositions. And he, agreeably to the Aland project of peace, demanded nothin g l ess th an the absolute cessiou of Esth onia, legria, and Carelia, comprising the towns of Revel, Wybourg, Narva, and Kecksholm, and the cession for forty years of Livonia. These and other diabolical doings of that crafty bar barian, commonly called Peter the Great, soon compelled the Crown of Sweden to submit to be robbed of a large part of its dominions, so that he soon came into posses sion of extensive shores on the eastern side of the Baltic ; and he speedily took advantage of it to build many ships of war for his future conquests.
