MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLooK, The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed without briskness, but very firmly, and, compared with Friday's range, prices of all kinds were ex treme. The sales were estimated at 9,000 bales, consisting of 500 American for export, and 250 Pernam and Maranham, at sad. to 6d.; 170 Bahia, 6hcl. to sga. ; 300 Egyptian, 61d. to lid. (500 export and 2,000 on speculation); and 3,500 Surat, 31d. to 41d. per lb. The Railway Share Market was dull, and prices sensibly declined. The quotations of the public funds on the Paris Bourse are stated to have maintained an upward tendency yesterday, excepting the 3 per Cent. Rentes for money which declined 5 c. and without any variation for the account. The 4i- per Cents. were in demand at an advance of 25 centimes for money and 40 c. for the account. The Share Market continued calm, and railway shares were much in request. The Moniteur has at last published the report of the Commission charged by the Legislative Body to examine into the project, presented last session, to authorise the Municipal Council of the city of Paris to contract a loan of GO millions of francs, to be reimbursed by them in 40 years from the year 1858 ; which has been adopted by the Com mission, with two modifications—the one requiring a declaration as to the time of the completion of the intended improvements, the other recalling the ratification required by the State as to their pro tecting the City from preceding decrees. It is said that the sum named will be sufficient to complete the improvements marked out by the architects in the Rue de Rivoli and the great central Boulevard. The State agrees to contribute one-third of the cost of the works executed within the first five years. An important alteration will take place in the charges for telegraphic communication throughout France, Belgium, and Northern Germany to-mor row the 15th, whereby all messages will be trans mitted, night or day, at the rate of 90 centimes, or 9d. English, for 28 words, exclusive of the address. The advices from Jamaica mention that the sub ject of taxation was still exciting much interest and discussion. Some uew financial measures will have to be adopted to maintain the institutions of the country, and to equalise the revenue to the expenditure. The articles upon which it was pro posed to increase the tariff were bread stuffs, some other kinds of provisions, and brandy, upon which the duties were sometime ago reduced. From Grenada accounts mention that it had been recommended by a committee of the legislature that provision should be made for a deficit of 2,0001. in the revenue, in order to meet the public expenditure up to last month, by the issue of debentures, payable in twelve months, and at the same time to levy an income tax on the salaries of public officers of 2i per cent. on those overlool. and under 2001. ; 5 per cent. on those between 2001. and 300/. ; 10 per cent. on those between 300/. and 4001., and so on ; and from this tax it is expected they will raise about 1,8001. The failure has been announced this morning of the London agency of a fruit company at the Azores, the party also being engaged in the wine and brandy trade. The loss will fall chiefly upon the fruit shippers, the London creditors only re presenting a small amount. Another firm con nected with the shipping interest and in surance business has made known its difficul ties, which are stated to have arisen from heavy bill transactions in connection with the recent stoppage of Lewis, Reis, and Co. The market for English Securities continues ra ther heavy, and in consequence of some large money sales a further decline has taken place. Consols opened at 88i to 88i for money, and 881 for December, the present prices being 87i to 88 for the former, and 88 to 88± for the later. The New 3 per Cents. are 871 to 871, and the Reduced 87 to 87k. Exchequer Bills are still 75.. to 4s. discount. There is an absence of any important speculative dealings in the Foreign Stock Market to-day; the prices partake of the heaviness of the English Market. Turkish 6 per Cents. are nearly per cent. lower, namely, 80 to 80k, and the New Scrip is 31 to 3 dis. Spanish 3 per Cents. are 38k, the New Deferred 194, and the Passive 6to 61. Rus sian Bonds are 95, and Dutch 4 per Cents. 931. The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks: Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6 to 7 ; Mexican, 19k to ; Peruvian, 74 to 76 ; ditto Three per Cents., 52 to 4; Portuguese Four per Cents., 43 to 45 ; Russian Five. per Cents., 95 to 98 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 85 to 88; Spanish New Deferred, 19k to 20i ; ditto Three per Cents., 38 to 381 ; ditto Certificates, 4i to 5 ; ditto Pas sive, 6 to Railway Shares, although weaker, are not so much depressed as might be expected. Great Northern A stock, however, is fully 1/. lower. The North-Western, South-Western, South-Eastern, and Midland are the' lines most dealt in. East India Guaranteed are ss. lower, and Great Western of Canada are also flat. Foreign lines attract very few purchasers. _ _ Mining, Banking, and Miscellaneous Shares are without any general change, but Canada Land have dropped 101. Peninsular and Oriental Steam are about 1/. under yesterday's value. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY.—CLOSING PRICES, From toe Oficial List.

There are still living three ex-Chancel lors, viz., Lords Brougham, Lyndhurst, and St. Leo nards. There are two of Ireland, viz., Lord St. Leonards and the Right Hon. Francis Blackburne. Lord Truro was one of the survivors of th e l earne d gentlemen who defended Qu een Caroline. It is some what remarkable that all the leading counsel of that un fortunate Princess rose to judicial seats, amongst them being Lord BrouAam, Lord Truro, Lord Denman, Mr. Justice Williams, Sir J. Lusbington , &c. Lady Tru ro is in the enjoyment of a pension from the Crown. A Cabinet Council was held, yesterday afternoon, at the Foreign-office. The Ministers present were—V. is count Palmerston, the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Earl Granville, Sir George Grey, the Earl of Clarendon, Lord Panmure, the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, Sir Charles Wood, the Right Hon. R. Vernon Smith, Viscount Canning, and the Earl of Harrowby. The Council sat three hours. MADAME JENNY GOLDSCHMIDT (nee LIND). —Mr. Mitchell has been authorised by Madame Goldschmidt to correct an erroneous statement, lately inserted in the Art Journal, as to her intention of visiting London for the special purpose of giving a concert in aid of the pro posed Nightingale Fund ; and to state that, although Madame Goldschmidt had already proposed her assist ance for the promotion of such a worthy object, she never expressed her intention of visiting England ex ir,lVely for that purpose. THE PATRIOTIC FUND.—The weekly report of the committee for the administration of the Patriotic Fund states that the number at present receiving relief from the fund are—widows, 2,526 ; children, 3,104 ; and orphans who have lost both parents, 97. The amount of subscriptions to the fund now reaches the large sum of 1,291,2961. SUSPECTED MURDER IN ST. GlLES'S.—Shortly before two o'clock this afternoon much excitement was caused in Denmark-street, St. Giles's, by the discovery of the head of an infant, wrapped up in a pi e ce of paper. The police are actively engaged in inveetigating the horrid fair. 5 5 20 10 20 5 20 18 SHARE MARKETS. (THIS DAY.) - .l*. RAILWAYS. I'HE SON, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVEt' iNCi. NOVEMBER 14, 1855.

(Sittings in Banco.—Be,forc Lord Chief Justice Campbell, Justices Coleridge, Wightman, and Erle.) THE HABEAS CORPUS ACT.-JUDGMENT. A writ of habeas corpus was moved for yesterday by Mr. Mannisty, to bring up a witness in custody for examination in an arbitration case, before Mr. Sergeant Channel], the arbitrator. The Court took time to con sider the application, and, this morning the Court deli vered their judgment. SUN OFFICE, Six o'Clock. Lord Campbell said the Court was of opinion that the habeas corpus must go. The act provided that a witness might be brought before a judge for examina tion, and, therefore, the question which arose in this case was whether an arbitrator was a judge within the meaning of the statute. The Court was of opinion that, though the learned Sergeant, who was appointed arbi trator in this case, was not finally to determine the case, yet, as the parties concerned were to be bound by the facts as proved by them before the learned Sergeant, he was a judge within the meaning of the act, and, therefore, the habeas corpus should be granted. Mr. Sergeant Chan nel! had stated his willingness to go to the prisnn, and there take the evidence of the witness ; hut as the Court did ❑ot consider that would be a saving of expense to the parties, and as the Court had been asked to grant the habeas corpus, they would do so. Rule granted accordingly, SHREWSBTJRY RACES.—(This Day.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) SEVERN STAKES Romeo Billingham Nine ran. SWEEPSTAKES OF 5 SOVS. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Sittings at Nisi Prius.)

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a widow lady, to recover of the defendant the value of a quantity of furniture under peculiar circumstances. It appeared that the defendant resided at Oakley Villa, King'~-road, Chelsea, the plaintiff and her daughter occupying un furnished apartments therein, Shortly after the plain tiff had taken possession of the apartments a distress was put on the premises for rent, when the plaintiff kindly assisted the defendant by allowing him to pledge her furniture for the amount required to satisfy the dis tress on his promising to redeem it in three weeks. The furniture, which the plaintiff valued at 801., and a miniature at twenty guineas, were accordingly pledged, the plaintiff obtaining 221. on the former, and 251. on the latter. There were also some other matters of dispute arising out of money advanced. The pawn broker, who had advanced the money on the furniture, said the property would not fetch more than 351. at an auction, and he would undertake to replace the furni ture by articles of the same quality for 401.

Mr. Baron Martin, in summing up, said the defend ant by his pleas had given no answer to the plaintiff's claim. With regard to the furniture there could be no doubt it could be seized under the distress for rent, but it was a very kind act on the part of the plaintiff to allow the defendant to pledge it. He bad not returned it at the same time agreed on, and the plaintiff had sued him for damages. I❑ estimating that damage the jury would have to decide between the amount claimed, which, no doubt, was the value of the articles to the plaintiff, and the sum received by the witness, a man connected with the trade. Whilst the jury were considering their verdict, the defendant offered to give up the tickets of the property, which was accepted by the plaintiff, and a verdict by consent was taken for 351., settling the question of the rent between the defendant and plaintiff up to Septem ber ; Baron Martin remarking that the plaintiff had be haved very handsome to the defendant. BAIL COURT. Before Mr. Justice Crompton and a Common Jury.) WIXTEED V. PENNELL. Mr. Petersdorff appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Peirce for the defendant. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover 971., money lent, to which the defendant pleaded he was not indebted ; secondly, that he had a set-off of equal amount to the money claimed ; and thirdly, that he had paid the defendant. It appeared that the plaintiff re sided at Jubilee-place, King's-road, Chelsea, and at the time of the advance was out of business. The defendant was a zinc -worker, of Chelsea, a friend of the plaintiff, and being in want of pecuniary assistance an arrangement was madebetween them that the plaintiff should advance the defendant 1001., the plaintiff giving his service as clerk and to assist the defendant in managing the business at a salary of two guineas per week, which was subsequently reduced to 30s. The plaintiff at first advanced 60/., which was subsequently increased to 1111. The first ad vance took place in March, and in July the defendant said he did not require the plaintiff's assistance any longer, and took possession of the books in which the eniries of the advances were made. After that the par- ties met, the accounts were gone through, and the defen dant admitted himself to be indebted to the plaintiff in 971. ; and it was to recover that sum that the present action was brought. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) SOUTHWARK. IMPUDENT ROBBERY.— John Onjiths, a dirty-looking young fellow, was brought before Mr. Combo, charged with stealing a roil of carpet, value 51., from the shop of Mr. Holland, the extensive furniture dealer in Newing ton-causeway. James Cannon, a porter in the employ of the prose cutor, said that be was inside the warehouse last evening attending to his business when he heard a loud noise at the doorway, where several piles of carpets and blankets were standing. He immediately proceeded to the front of the shop, and perceived the carpets and blankets lying on the pavement, and on looking round he saw the prisoner with a roll of carpet in his arms, which he was running away with. As soon as he saw witness follow ing him he threw it down and attempted to escape, but be ran into the arms of a police-constable, who safely lodged him in the station-house. Jane Cannon, wife of last witness, said she was near the shop door, when she saw the prisoner come up to the doorway, seize a piece of carpet in his arms, and run away with it. In doing so he caused the whole pile to fall, which attracted the attention of her husband, and she distinctly pointed out the prisoner as the party who committed the robbery. Mr. Combe said the case was pretty clear against the prisoner. He therefore asked him whether he preferred going to the Sessions to be tried by a jury or plead before him I The prisoner, after a little hesitation, said he did not much like to go to the Sessions, as the jury were such queer chaps ; he would rather his worship dealt with him, as he was guilty, and it was no use denying it. Mr. - Combe committed him fur three months, with bard labour, under the "New Criminal Justice Act." The prisoner said he was very much obliged to his wor ship, as he had no home and was in great want. In the gaol he would be warm and comfortable throughout the worst of the winter. Committed for three months. MARYLEBONE. The following appointments was made at the Admi ralty this day : LIEUTENANT. A. C. Ballingall, to the Polyphemus. ASSISTANT CLERK.

The Atrato brings 45 passengers and eight dis tressed British seamen. On freight there is specie value] at $834,708 ; plata pina, $2,100 ; jewellery and precious stones $2,418 ; 354 ounces of old silver, and a cargo, consisting of cochineal, bark, sarsaparilla, &c. During the voyage the Atrato, on the 6th inst., in lat. 38.51 N., long. 49.12 W., spoke the brigan tine Star, 16 days from Newfoundland, bound to Trinidad ; on the 12th, in lat. 48.47 N., long. 11.41 W., exchanged colours with a Hamburg ship showing No. 282, with emigrants, steering to the westward ; also, in lat. 48.54 N., spoke the Eng lish schooner Rose, steering to the eastward ; also exchanged colours with the British bark Agnes, and on the 13th passed the English screw-steamer Ot tawa and the Peninsular mail steam-ship Tagus ; all steering east. The Royal mail steam-ship Dee arrived out at St. Thomas on the 24th ult. At Jamaica the House of Assembly was in session. The flour-market was active, and one speculator had purchased nearly the whole stock at 465. Flour was being held at 48s. to 50s. In corn there was no inquiry, and holders were willing to take low rates. Some small lots of sugar had been sold at 225. Exchange was quoted, for bills at 90 days, 1 per cent. premium. At Barbadoes the weather was highly favourable for agricultural operations. Trade continued lan guid. The following is complete return of the late crop, including the portion of the cargo of the brigs Sarah (burnt) and New City of Cork (lost in the gale of the 24th of August) : Sugar.-37,652 hlids., 2,232 tierees, 6,505 brls., equal to 39,953 hhds. shipped, the local consump tion being estimated at 4,000 hhds. Molasses.-12,371 puncheons, 204 hhds., 471 barrels, equal to 12,590 puncheons. Rum, 1,178 puncheons, 612 hogsheads. Cotton, 371 bales. Aloes, 1,025 gourds. At Grenada a great quantity of rain had fallen, and great injury bad been done to the roads. The intelligence from this island is entirely de void of interest. . _ At St. Lucia and other West India Islands great rejoicings had taken place, iu commemoration of the success of the allies in the Crimea. The exports of produce for 1855 closed as follows : —Sugar, 4,656 hogsheads, 255 tierces, 2,250 brls. ; molasses, 85 . 5 puns., 14 tierces, 31 brls. ; rum, 2 ' pipes, 230 puns 132 hhds., 33 quarter casks ; cocoa, 3 casks, 45 brls., 1,371 bags ; logwood, 1,1011 tons ; hides, 860 ' • cedar boards, 49 ; coffee, 2 brls. and 7 b ags , &c. The growing canes looked healthy, and there is every probability of a good crop. The weather was rainy, and the island healthy. At British Guiana the new Harbour Regulation Bill had passed. The subject of the water supply and drainage was occupying attention. The weather was fine, and all the estates were busily engaged in making sugar. The canes for the next year's crop looked well. The exports from the colony during the last fort night have been as follows :—Sugar, 0,232 hhds., 136 tierces, 576 brls., 3 half-brls., 773 bags mo lasses, 359 puns., 10 hhds., 16 brls ; rum, 1,661 puns., 292 hhds., 119 brls. ; coffee, 1 brl. ; cocoa nuts, 9,900 ; rice, 500 bags ; salted hides, 400 ; greenheart timber, 322 logs ; bark, 14 tierces, 50 barrels ; iron (old), 50 tons ; copper (old), 2 tons ; pewter, 1i tons. Tonnage was becoming more scarce, and freights rising. At Trinidad matters were dull, and the weather very hot. At Chili Congress was adjourned ; there was a great depression in commercial matters ; copper was very scarce. From Bolivia we learn that scarcely had Belzu left before revolutionary move ments broke out in various places. Oa the 16th of September Colonel Gutierrez, Dr. Tapia, Gen. Lanza, and Colonels Montalvo, Yanes, Marin, and many others raised the revolutionary standard in Pucanori. General Molena, with a force of about 100 men and 2 guns, marched to attack the revo lutionists, but Lanza, hearing of his approach, left the town ; he was, however, afterwards met by the Government forces, and Zapata and Moscoso, two of the revolutionary leaders, were killed. In Corocoro Dr. Linares and others also got up a revolutionary movement, but it was put down by the National Guard, and the arrival of the cavalry who had accompanied Belzu to the coast. Linares and the other leaders escaped. Some of the perio dicals of La Paz state that the revolution is quite put down in the north, but in Oruro, Cochleanba, Santa Cruz, and La Sierra all was not yet quiet. In Peru the Convention still continued in ses sion. The question of religious toleration was exciting great interest. The press complains of the disorganised state of affairs at the Chincha Islands, and the insubordination of the labourers. Letters had been received from the gold-hunting party who started for the Amazons under the au spices of Government ; they had experienced many hardships. Gold was found by the Indians in the neighbourhood of Pancortumbo ; it is described as similar to the gold of Australia. UNPROVOKED ASSAULT UPON A CHILD.— G eorg i ana Charlton, a dissipated -looking woman, was charged be fore Mr. Broughton with assaulting Lucy Paris, aged 13, who is residing with her father, a shoemaker, at No. 10, Nottingham Mews. The complainant, an intelligent child, said that about four o'clock yesterday afternoon she was in High-street, Marylebone, near the police-office, when she saw the prisoner, who was intoxicated, in the company of another female standing before the Black Dog.

The foro-ving is the first portion of Goneral Moura vieff's detailed report of the a‘sault on Kars : AIDE DE CAMP GENERAL MOURAVIEFF'S REPORT, DATED OCT. 12, 1855. Informed of the reinforcements received by the Turk ish troops in the environs of Batoum, and of the enemy's intention to advance simultaneously in the Gouriel and towards Akhaltzick from one side, and on the other, from Erzeroum, in the direction of Kars, I determined to profit by the existing state of the garrison there, and on Sept. 27 assembled a council of war. Every member pronounced for an attack. It is necessary to say, by way of preface, that the for tress of Kars, which is situated upon the right bank of the river Kars-Tchai, has been strengthened by new for tifications, forming a chain along the heights surrounding the city. Amongst those fortifications are some re doubts, connected by curtains, erected upon the left bank of the Kars-Tchai, upon the heights of Schnrakh, nearly three versts from the city. Another line of forti fications extends more to the north of the city, also upon the left bank of the river, and upon the height of Tchakh makh. To unite these fortifications, and to protect the space between them, a redoubt, called a citadel, and many separate lunettes, have been erected. The Kara dagh heights upon the right bank of the Kars-Tchai are protected by fortifications, and the part of the fortress on the side of the plain has been strengthened by a triple range of entrenchments. The space of the whole line of defence forms a circuit of 13 versts. Tne greater part of the army of Anatolia, which is composed of the best troops, was stationed upon the heights of Schorakb. The fortifications here are feebler, and the heights command all the others. It was hoped then that in becoming masters of this part, Kars would be ours. For this reason it was decided to carry these heights by an assault, and Sept. 29 was the day fixed. The following were our arrangements decided upon : The troops intended to take part in the assault were divided into four columns. 1. The first column commanded by Lieut.-General Kovaleski, was to assemble before and at the left of the Observatory Hill (at the east of the heights of Schorakh), from whence, after the second column had approached the fortifications and commenced the assault, it was to advance and attack the right flank of the enemy's po sition. 2. The second column, under the orders of Major- General Maidel, had for its point of reunion the Stol hill (at the south-east of the heights of Schorakh) • it was ordered to be at the foot of the Moukh hill a t io'clock in the morning. It had for instructions, " whether per ceived by the enemy or not," and immediately after arriving at the assigned post, i.e., at a little height on this side, and a little to the left of the Moukh hill, to bring forward to this hill the Light Battery No. 1, to protect two companies of the battalion of the Caucasian tirailleurs and a company of sappers. This column was directed, moreover, to continue to advance in three lines, and, with a division of miners, in the greatest possible silence, and to take possession without firing—at least unless fJrced to do so—of the battery at the extreme left of the enemy's flank, or more to our right. The commander, Dobrynine, received the order after our infantry had occupied the enemy's heights to pursue him and not give him time to re-form his ranks. In order that there might be more uniformity of action in the attack of the first and second columns, a column was placed between them, under the command of Lieut.- General Gagarine, to follow the first • its rallying point was the village of Schorakb, to the left of the Observa tory Hill. 3. The third column, commanded by Major-General Count Nyrod, after assembling at the village of the Little Tikme, was to advance to the right of the village of Haut.Karadjouran, and to take up position at 1,000 sagenes from the enemy's batteries. The column of reserve, under the command of Lieut.- General Brummer, was to keep watch on the north side of Kars. At the same time I caused Major-General Bazine's detachment to advance near Kars, and place itself in connexion with Major-General Baklanoff's detachment ; these two detachments were ordered to act simultaneously from the side of Tchakhmakh, under the superior com mand of Major-General Bazine. I pointed out to each of these columns the disposition and the order of attack. The general attack was to commence at four o'clock in the morning in order to prevent the enemy from being able t 9 pint his pieces and taking aim. Wishing to keep my intention of assaulting the fortress of Kars in the greatest secrecy, I caused our troops to advance by detachments on the preceding days, and ac cording to the general arrangement, the infantry returned to the principal camp, and three sotnias of the No. 2. Re giment of MuEsulman Cavalry, and a sotnia of the No. 1 Regiment of the same cavalry, were left in the village of Nijnie-Kotauly to watch the road on the side of Sagan long. Here follows the description of the march made by these columns to reach their respective positions. The latter were occupied in the greatest order at the hour appointed—viz., four o'clock in the morning—and where were General Bazine's and Major-General Baltlanoff's detachments, which remained at the foot of the heights of Tchakmakh up t) half-past four in the morning ; while the second column, under the command of General Maidel, got through the obstructions of its position, and advanced boldly against the fortifications. It arrived without being seen up to within 400 sagenes, and the Light Battery No. 1, with the companies of sappers and skirmishers which had been attached to it, had already succeeded in reaching the right declivity of the hill, when the Turks fired the first volley from the Fort Tomas- Tabia. It was three-quarters past 4a m. All the other pieces arranged upon the front of this fort then opened fire, to which was soon added that of the skirmishers and musketeers of the Turkish infantry, who, upon the signal of alarm, threw themselves upon the ramparts and in the fosses which had been prepared for the skirmishers in front of the fort. The infantry of the second column advanced at a quick step, protected by the Battery No. 1, already in position, and whose well-aimed volleys threw the enemy into con fusion. Arrived within mu-ket-shot of the fortifications, General Maidel gave the orier to attack, and f ur in fantry advanced at a run. A part of the Miegrelian re gitneut, commanded by Colonel SAesbriakoff, mat shed to the space between the two forts, and the rest of the regiments, under the orders of Major Baum, went ts the right of the redoubt which flanks them, while the Cara biaiers, commanded by Colonel Moller, went towards their right flank. The Ist and 23 battalions boldly ad vanced to the ramparts, and the 4th went along the road to get round them. At the same time the hill pieces taken from the Turks at Peniack, and which occupied spaces in the first line, opened a fire of grape shot. Battalions of the second line advanced at a running step ; the troops of the first line rushed to the a,sault with cries of " Hurrah," attacked with bayonet the Turks who occupied the outer fosses, leaped upon the ramparts, ran en ntasse against the Turkish infantry, who were there put to the route, and took possession of part of the guns. At the same time the Carabiniers of the Erivan regiment, under the chief, De Moller, sprang upon the battery, and seized two pieces on its extreme outer angle. Two other pieces were taken by Major Baum's Alingre- Haus upon the side bordering upon the redoubt, but here the success of these troops was checked by the bat teries erected at the right of these redoubts, and by the redoubts themselves, the sides of which had been lately carried up from the side of the gorge to the same height as those in the front. Following the battalions of the first line the second penetrated the fortifications. The captain second in command succeeded in bringing in his bill pieces. General Maidel himself led his troops upon the redoubts and batteries still occupied by the Turks, while the captain of the staff Romanoveki caused the cava'ry and the rest of the infantry to advance, and t turned them partly against the Turks, who fought re f treating from the rampart, and partly against the enemy's masses commencing to assemble in the camps behind the fortifications ; the nearest were dispersed at the point of the bayonet, and pursued even into their very camps by our infantry. The latter then charged the Turks, who fired upon thehi from hiding places behind the tents, stone constructions, and from the ravines ; these Turks were almost all put to the sword. The first camp was thus carried. Meanwhile the cavalry, preceded by the noble militia, under the orders of Prince Tzitzianoff, and by a sotnia of the combined regiment of the line No. 1, turned to the right of the first camp, where, charging the masses of Turks com mencing to assemble behind the tents, sabred a great number on the spot, carried off a flag, and then rushed into the second camp. In the interim, the infantry, led by Generl Maidel in person against the 4-gun battery of the centre redoubt, took possession of this battery, which was takeei by Lieut. Pillar de Pillhau ' of the regiment of his Ro y al Highness the Grand Duke Constantine's Grenadiers, who, in spite of the fi re of g ra pe-shot and rifles f h 'r i o a rn the redoubt, threw him s elf upon the battery with pany, killed its attendants upon the took possession of the four pieces, two of away, and the other two thrown from% h h aiscrrhaotawt'eprgaenr t d c . a Pro fiting by this success, General Maid el di re cted the first battalion of the skirmishers of the regiment of the Guard ming re I ia n detach ment upon upon the first central redoubt andthe the second, causing them to be auPP which was to watch t he enemyrrortmedthbey a side of the camps. ar t of the Turkish troops oe., During all this time, a p copying the heightsoaf S t2dc ho w r i a t k h h th a e nd oo t l h o e m o o t s he o i f t nearest fortifications was eng g General Kovalevski and Lieut.-General Prince Gagari ne w hi c h had commenced to attack almost .i at the s ame t i m e as Major-General Maidel .

The No. 2 Battery bad opened its firo from the position which it occupied, and this it continued until it was masked by the troops, who marched to the assault. Tile troops of the centre column were directed upon the redoubt which attacked the Mingrelians of the Maidel column with the exception of a division of the Battery No. 4 of the fourth battalion of the regiment of Tonle, a company of Sappers, and a company of skir mishers, who were left in reserve. The skirmishers and the second battalion of the Riajsk regiment were sent to the assault by Lieut.-General Prince Gagarine, who, on his part, followed with the battalions of the second line, reserving them to send where need required. Our troops were received by a cross fire of artillery, first of balls ani shells, then grape-shot, then rifle s znfl o musket balls. In spite of this, Lieut.-Gen. Koviii,:eLities first line succeeded in reaching the curtain I the two flank fortifications, and upon his ste w n p t i s: e ic dvanced the battalioni of the second line. Some vola s e a rs of the regiment of the Wilna Chasseurs, Came! Mikevi at their held, and many officers, bad suoceeded even in getting upon the rampart, but all fell mortally wounded. The battalions of.the \Vilna regiment maintained thel po4toon in the fosse, a!though overwhelmed by balls and huilets at.d pieces of stone thrown upon them by the Turks. Ere long the latter opened a heavier fire of grape shot from the two flank batteries against the battalions. Lieut.-General Kovalevski was here mortally wounded. Colonel Keeloff, commander of the Belew regiment, w ag also wounded, and a great part of the superior officers of the two regiments were killed or wounded. Amongst them Colonel of the Staff Roudanovskii, Quartermaster- General, Captain of the Staff Raditch. Moreover, all the officers attached to Lieut.-Gen. Ko valevski were killed or wounded. Capt.Kagnatchee, of the corps of Engineers who had beon attached to my person, and whom I had sent to this column, was pierced with three balls. Meanwhile the horse volunteers had rushed to the right of the infantry, and, in spite of a most violent fire, penetrated the fortifications ' • but the movement of the infantry of thi s co l umn not having succeeded, they were obliged to retire. At the same time the skirmishers of the centre column, also the second battalion of the Riajsk regiment, which supported them, reached, through a terrible fire of grape-shot and musketry, the enemy's battery. Here the Turks, throwing down their arms, took to flight. The battalions of the second line, which had taken - the left, were received by a cross fire from the central fort of Tomas-Tabia and its adjacent redoubts. Here Lieut. General Gagarine and two chiefs of battalion were grievously wounded. Of six chiefs of the company three were killed and the others wounded. These battalions, which had not reached the fort, then joined those of the first column, which having lost the greater part of its superior chiefs and officers, began to retreat. Soon afterwards the enemy succeeded in concentrat ing considerable masses of forces against the skirmishers and the second battalion of the Riajsk regiment, already enfeebled by its losses. Here were killed Col. Brest schinskii, chief of battalion, and Captain Khlioustine, chief of company; this battalion was then obliged to abandon the battery it had occupied, and to join the trrops of the first column. I then transferred the command of these two columns to Colonel Prince Dondoukoff-Korsakoff, who, after bringing them upon the heights which stretch to the left of the Kourgan, where the Battery No. 2 was, re formed them, and made the combined Regiment No. 2 of the Cossacks of the line, and two divisions of Dra goons advance to cover their retreat. At the same time he caused the wounded to be collected by the Cos. sacks. The Battery No. 2, which opened its fire against the enemy's batteries, facilitated these operations. After the troops had been re-formed, they were arranged in the following order:—A cotnia of Cossacks, with the section No. 2 of the battery of fuseens, occupied the elevation where the No. 2 Battery was ; behind came the infantry, and more to the left , two divisions of dra goons with the horse battery. RAIL JTA Y INTELLIGENCE. MIDLAND GREAT WESTERN. The extension line of this company, from Mullingar to Longford. was opened for public tramc on Thursday. The length of the line is 26 miles. A further extension, from Longford to Strokestown and Castlebar, county of Mayo, is now being surveyed ; and it appears the coun ties through which it is intended to pass are willing to guarantee a minimum dividend of 4 per cent, on an out lay not exceeding 6,0001. per mile. MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLN- SHIRE.

The works on thii line are proceeding satisfactorily. The first section of the railway from Usk to Little Mill is now ready for traffic, and will be opened to the public when the arrangements for working it are completed. INVERNESS AND NAIRN. This line was opened for public traffic on Wednesday, and the number of passengers was much greater than had been anticipated. The length of the line is 20 miles. The passenger trains consist of first and third-class car riages, there being no second-class. Several trial trips were made, and four excursion trains passed over the line prior to the day of opening it for public traffic. The advantages of railway accommodation appear to be highly appreciated in the district through which the line passes, and the event of its opening was celebrated in a very cordial manner by the inhabitants.
