Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clark prosecuted ; and Mr. Collier, M.P., and Q.C., with whom was Mr. Reed, cppeared fir the prisoner. Upon the names of the jury (which was composed of half foreigners) being called over, the prisoner,. through his interpreter, Mr. Albert, objected to some of the gentlemen._ Lord Campbell directed that any of the gentlemen of the jury oljected to, whether Englishmen or foreigners, should retire if objected to. Several haring been challenged and withdrawn, the required number were then sworn. The prisoner, who seemed quite composed, was dressed. the same as when ho appeared at the police-court, with the exception of the loose Albert cape which he then wore. Mr. Straight, the clerk of the arraigns, having read the indictment charging the prisoner with the murder of Charles Collard, the one first proceeded with, Mr. Bodkin rose and briefly stated the case to the jury, and in so doing, told them that although the charge was one of the most serious known to the law, it did not possess any of those features of complexity which gene rally arise where the evidence was of a circumstantial character. Charlotte Bennett, examined by Mr. Clark—l was servant to the late Mr. Moore. He lived at 73, War ren-street, Fitzroy-square. He was at home upon the night of the Bth of December. The only person in the house with him besides myself was his grandson. About half-past Bin the evening the prisoner, whom I knew from having come to repair the engine, and a woman came. Prisoner asked to see my master. I showed them into the back room upon the ground floor, where master was sitting. About 10 minutes afterwards I heard a noise in the parlour, and came down stairs, and as I was upon the stairs I saw the prisoner coming out of the room, followed by the woman and then my mar. ter. I ran past them and got to the front doer. The prisoner I then saw had a pistol in his hand. He was close to my master. I ran out into the street. There is an iron gate outside of the street. I heard the report of a pistol. There was a mob at the iron gate. The prisoner came out of the street door, and instantly went in again, bolting the door after him. Amongst the mob at the iron gate was the deceased man Charles Collard, who keeps a green grocer's shop next door. I asked him to run round into the New.road to the back of my master's house, as I thought the prisoner would escape. About an hour afterwards I was let into the house by the police, and then saw my master lying dead in the passage. Cross-examine:l by Mr. Collier—l had seen the pri soner twice at the house to repair the soda -water engine, but never until that night saw prisoner speak to my master. The noise which I heard was that of some one scuffling. My master had bis hand upon the prisoner when I first saw them coming out of the door into the passage ; but whether pushing or pulling him I cannot say. I had a light in my hand at the time. Re-examined by Mr. Bodkin—l could not distinguish the features of the female because of the thick veil she wore. 'When I first attempted to open the street door the prisoner put his hand over my mouth. Instantly after he turned round and the pistol was fired. His face was towards Mr. Moore at the time. The witness here described the position in which she saw the pistol pointed. She held her band about breast high, and in a manner so as to give a pistol, if she had been pointing one, an upward aim in the direction of a person's head. Richard Checkely sworn—l am' inspector of the E Division. I knew the deceased man Collard. He had been in the police force. About 10 •'clock upon the night of the Bth of December I was fetched to the Uni• versity College Hospital. I there saw Collard in bed. The surgeon told me ho was dying. He rnade a state ment, which I took down to writhig ; it was to the effect that the prisoner had shot him when he (Collard) bad attempted his capture in the New-road. Upon the fol lowing day the prisoner was brought to the hospital, and the statement sihic% had been taken down upon the pre vious night read over- Collard was very weak, but quite sensible. 11e:said, That is quite correct," and, looking at prisoner, said, "Th a t i s the man who shot me," and e.11e3, " Oh, you cruel man." The prisoner made no remark. The evidence of Mr. Kielmerk and Mr. Erichson, the surgeons of the Hospital, proved death to have resulted from a pistol bullet, which had passed through the bowels and rested close to the spine, from whence it was extracted by an incision being made through the skin to it. Decqased lived about 24 hours after his admission into the hospital. • The statement of the dying man was then put in and read. William Beaglestone, Waterman to the Hackney Coach stand in the New-road, proved hearing the cry of " mur der" and " police," and saw the man Collard running from the Tottenham-court -road end of the New-road. Witness ran towards him, and at that moment the pri soner fell from the railings at the back of Mr. Collard's house. Witness and Collard both laid hold of prisoner at the same time. Collard said, For God's sake take care, or he will shoot some one." Almost immediately the pistol wisich prisoner had in his bawl went off, and Collard said, " Good God ! , I am shot," an d f e ll. Pri soner instantly struck witness a blow upon the head with the pistol and broke away. Witness wrested a piece of cane from him. The case was not concluded when we went to press. all I 3e(lford and Bletc ley 100 Bucllghanish. 100 OlydesdaleJc. 100 El. Lincoln gr. 6 per cent. all Glas. Barr. & Neils. Direct all Do.

The Berlin correspondent of the Independance P Bgives the followin g as the substance of the atoll of the 19 t h , sent to Paris and L r eg o l i n is d e s o ia n n despatch "The despatch first alludes to the notification of the treaty which was made on the evening of the 16th by the three envoys in separate conferences. M. de Manteuffel communicated the treaty to the King. Prussia fully ap• preciates the importance thereof, and in making it the object of a conscientious examin a ti on t h e C a bi net of Berlin has been guided by the sincere wish to associate itself as ration as its convictions and the interests of its country permit, to the common work of the re-estab lishment of peace on just and permanent bases. " Prussia has seen common with satisfactionlhat the protocols which still form the coon basis, are nten tt V ne ina c e l n inthe treaty. she did did not take part in the exchange of the notes of the Bth of August, she at least gave her moral sup port thereto. "The diplomatic concert with the other Po wJrs, there fore, still exists. "In consequence of a transaction with Austria, a transaction motived by the menacing attitude of Russia, Y, an anal og y b e t ween Prussia has even engaged herself, u n d er certain of the P owers w h o even tualities, to military co-operation. i t s h e e a salutary and decisive pacific weight of which stipulations and st ge, l l : e T p,i h r tue positionhrs "e e at r exists, ieosafdtyiF s po t r h fuo e sspee r e idea f c o te r oam e a n , l: r r itl. e h a ian d tpnew ti to w come . would be t to an u 0 fa n n a d tu e r r e st t a o nd ex in egrC influence. " As regards the treaty of the 2d December, Prussia observes that it boars the stamp of an entotte with Austria. Prussia adheres to the general tendencies of that treaty, and is ready to conclude an analogous ar rangement. " With this object, and to fix with certainty eventual decisions, it leads naturally to the question, what would be the interpretation of the guarantees which Russia has adopted without any reserve and in their primitive form (redaction primitive). "This interpretation of the guarantees will be the pivot of the diplomatic measures. " The more Prussia appreciates the atop taken by , the Powers who signed the treaty, and the more de sirous she is of responding to the sentiments which dictated that step, the more does she h ope to o b ta i n confidential explanations on the interpretation of the guarantees." SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAIL WAY.—A serious accident took place last night on the Great Northern Railway, at a short distance beyond the Leeds central station, to the train which leaves that town at G. 25 p.m., and arrives at Doncaster at 8.10 p.m. The train was passing over a crossing on ono of the via ducts, when the first carriage behind the engine struck against the points, and was immediately detached from the train by the breaking of the coupling irons, and thrown over the viaduct, 40 feet high. In the carriage,. which was composed of first and second class compart ments, was the Recorder of Doncaster, Mr. R.. Hall, who was travelling to that town to preside at the ses sions on the folloWing morning. His right leg and shoulder were fractured, and he was very much bruised by the fall of the carriage, which was smashed to pieces. There were two or three other persons in the carriage, who were also much injured. Mr. Hall is in a very bad state, and an order was forwarded to Doncaster to adjourn the sessions for one month.

SIR,---1 hope you will allow me through your impar tial paper to make a few observations, arising out of some remarks made by Mr. G. Moore, of London, at a dinner given last week at the Corn Exchange, Man chester, in aid of the above sehoels. Mr. Moore remarked, after relating the success and value of the institution, that he was sorry to observe they had the most children belonging to commission travellers, which he only accounted for from the miserable and stingy manner they were paid, entreating houses to act more liberal, and pay men at least enough to live upon further observing, he knew several melancholy instances of destitution, which was not the result of improvidence or prodigelity, but front most inadequate pay to meet the necessary expenses of the road. Mr. Moore, lam sure, will receive the best thanks of all travellers for his kind consideration ; the more so, from the fact of his being himself a principal, and for many years a traveller, and, to his credit, the architect of his own fortune by indomitable application and industry. I have kno , ,vii bins many years. ()Mimes do I recol lect him leaving his Led before sunrise in the spring of the year, continuing hard at ►work until the cock an nounced early morn again; so that he is good authority for ►what a traveller requires and deserves. And now it is needful some one shoal I give further information, and explain how it is commission travellers are not in a prosperous condition. The fact is they are robbed at every point. I will point out one or two methods houses adopt to reduce their expenses. It is no uncommon thingte assert that travellers are of no service to them, and still they are glad to retain their assistance ; they are well aware who " brings grist to the mill." They complain of kheir profits being small, an argument used to complete a grinding engagement. When you come to a settlement at th• end of the journey they write down what they say is the amount of sales. You are much surprised, you expected a much larger amount, and express a wish to go through the books, which is indignantly refused, and the ill-used traveller submits to be fleeced rather than litigate with men who may, in an under-handed way, do him an in jury. He, consequently, suffers his already too small earnings to be reduced by this unprincipled subterfuge. Another false system, often adopted, is the following : —A traveller is paid a commission on his sales ; he is given patterns; some are manufactured or engaged by the 'house who employs him, and other patterns are made and bought from other makers. The traveller works early and late, using his best endeavours to influence sales, but on his return home, after an absence of three or four months, and paying his own expenses, he discovers that little more I than half the amount of orders sent home have been exe cuted, only such as they make themselves having been sent, underwriting the invoice that the remainder will follow in a few days, carriagepaiel, which, of course, is never more thought of, and the unfortunate commission ma❑ is again victimised. These and other equally dis reputable tricks are beginning to be known and scouted. I was once a commission man myself, and, from all I know, would recommend every man to make a sturdy resistance against any house who refuses to pay, or assist in paying, part of the necessary expenses of the road, other wise he must lose his own money, or become a defaulter. In either case these " vampires" will show no sym pathy, but will exact their "pound of flesh." Pardon me, sir, for occupying so much of your valuable paper. I am emboldened to trespass, because I believe you feel an interest in the welfare of the commercial body. I shall now conclude by giving some wholesome advice, gratis, to those houses in London, Manchester, Brad ford, and elsewhere, who have for some time past made money, wrung from the bones of the badly-paid tra veller. I advise such to abandon altogether un principled practices, and begin the New Year afresh, adopting the good old adage of " live and let live"—to repent of their sins of omission as well as commission. This done, not only Mr. Moore, but other respectable men, will not fail, when Christmas comes again, to sound their praise ; and 1 thick, to prove their sincerity, and make their consciences easy, they ought to disgorge, and lose no time in sending 100 guineas each to assist in the schools, and 100 guineas in aid of the Poor Tra vellers' Benevolent Institution ; and, furthermore, be come annual subscribers of 10 guineas each to both in stitutions. I beg to assure commission travellers there are only two proper ways to make an agreement : one is to travel for no house whatever without the expenses are paid, or work the journey for a fixed sum. This persevered in will restore the prospects of the ill-paid commission traveller. I remain, Sir, your obedient servant. A COnMERCIAL TRAVELLER. man ches te r, Jan. TliE A T EIVLY-DIS'COVERED 1, 0.31 A CE Oli l SIR iYAL7'EIk! SCOTT. TO THE EDITOR OP TUE SON, 91, Boulevard Boaumarchais Paris, Dee 10 1 Sir,-1 should ear li er hare acknowledg e d the Dee. you took in the &en of the 25th of last month—by a very eKtraordinary coincidence, the day on which Mr. Lockhart died—Of the unpublished manuscript of his illustrious fither-in law, which has become my property. As, however, so great an incredulity reigned with regard to it that not one editor, 1 believe, throtOiout the United Kingdom was found courageous enorgh eN en to whisper the no Ns which you had so boldly announced, I have deft reed writing to you acknowledging your manly and liberal conduct—a conduct whili a perusal of the work itself will ere long thank you for, far more expres sively than any terms I can employ—l say I have de ferred writing until I could add to my letter the assur ance that the letter of W.S. to W.S., and the manuscript of the Romance itself, had been examined by the parties in Paris most competent to judge of their authenticity. That has been done; and now, sir, in addition to the testimony of the much-respected gentleman on whose authority, as I have since learned, you announced the discovery on the 25th November, I have now the satis faction of referring you to the Journal des Debats of the 27th December instant, in which M. Philai .te Chasles, one of the ablest writers and severest critics in France, and, moreover, a personal friend of Sir Walter Scott, devotes five columns of that leading journal to the sub ject of the authenticity of these interesting manuscripts --an authenticity which he establishes on the firmest of all foundations, internal evidence ;—and to this I have the pleasure of adding that, the correspondent of one of the leading London morning papers has since examined the manuscript, and not only coincides in opinion with M. Philarete Chasles, but gives it as his opinion that the romance was a very early production of the pen of the great Scottish novellist. Such being the case and the question of authenticity ' set at rest—as I purpose to devote the surplus of the first edition to the "Patriotic Fund"—perhaps there may not now exist the came fear on the part of your con temporaries to copy the following resurzt of the work, which can scarcely fail to be read with interest even by those who have hitherto been the most incredulous. Accept, sir, the assurance of the high consideration of E. SAINT MAURICE CADANY, Directeur-General de la Societ6 Archiviste de France. MOREDUN ; A TALE OP THE TWELVE HUNDRED AND TEN.---A manuscript, bearing this title, has been brought to light in Paris under most singular circumstances, and after undergoing the scrutiny of the first writers and severest critics of that capital has been authenticated as an early romance of Sir Walter Scott, which had been the pirate property of his daughter, Miss Anne Scott, as is also attested by a letter found along with the manuscript of the romance. It is in 25 chap ters, and will form three volumes similar to Waverley. The titles of the chapters are, 1. The Inundation ; 2. The Incantation ; 3. The Council Chamber ; 4. The Crown and Anchor ; 5. Marsden Rocks ; 6. The Two Kings ; 7. The Seal ; 8. Private Conferences ; 9. The Borderere ; 10. Durham ; 11. Ettrick Shaws ; 12. The Golden Cross ; 13. The Lion's Mouth; 14. Sherwood ; 15. Ingleborough ; 16. The Utrid ; 17. The Storm ; 18. The Fire ; 19. The Arbour ; 20. The Wreck ; 21. The Three Knights ; 22. The Caverns ; 23 . The Wool pack ; 24. The Mo o t Hall ; 25. Conclusion. The story is interesting, full of incident and lively description ; is rapidly and forcibly told, and more dramatic iu its style than almost any other of Sir Walter's works, whilst the portraits of the two kings, Jahn, of England, and Wil liam, the lion of iscotland, are admirably drawn, and placed in fine contrast. The proprietor of the manu script, we understand, in consequ ence o f an i ncre d u li ty on th e part of publishers, which has gone the length even of refusing to examine the manuscript itself; purposes to publish the work himself, and to give the surplus which may arise out of the first edition to the " Patriotic Fund." Thus the public will be constituted the judges, and not one copy more will be printed than is actually demanded by public opinion. To this end, the Union Lank of London, acting for Messrs. Gil and Co., bankers at Paris, mandatories of the proprietor, M. de Saint Maurice Cabany, 91, Boulevard Beaumarchais, Presi- dent of the Society of Archivists of France, is autho rised to receive subscriptions and to grant receipts. The price of the work, in three vela , Bvo., handsomely printed, will b 3 305.; four copies will be supplied, car riage free, for Si. Thus, any bookseller, on receiving orders for four copies, on paying 51. to his banker, who will advise through the usual channels of the Union Bank of London, will receive in return, immediately on publication, the four copies subscribed for. On the prompt and liberal reception, then, by the public cf this handsome arrangement on the part of the proprietor, will depend the amount of the sum to be paid over to the "Patriotic Fund ;" and it will be none of the least re markable incidents of the extraordinary times in which we live to find the Author of " Waverley " a large con tributor to the fund iu aid of the brave armies near suf fering all the privations and hardships of war in the Crimea. - TEA PARTY IN AID OF THE PATRIOTIC FUND.—The Shrewsbury Journal has an account of a "monster tea party" held on New Year's-day, in the district of Ilorsehay -and- Dawley, in -aid of tire Patriotic Fund. The proc,?.eds of the tea party was expected to amount to 1.27 e:, after all iiacidental expeuts had been paid. LETTERS FROM THE CRIMEA. EXTRACT FROM THE LETTER OF AN OFFICER AT SEBASTOPOL. We have now been more than two months at this work, and I had hoped ere this that Sebastopol would have fallen, but it still holds out, with every propect of doing so for some time yet. Indeed, nothing but the bayonet, I believe, will take it, and the sooner we make our assault the better, for it is quite impossible that we can go on much longer the way that we are doing. You will expect me to give some description of Sebastopol, but it is not easy to do so without reference to a map. Our position, then, before the place is as follows :—At the distance of perhaps half a mile from the Careening Bay, in a south-easterly direction, stands a round tower, or rather what was one formerly, for our artillery have battered it all to pieces —around which the Russians have thrown up extensive earthworks, armed with ship guns. This tower was originally- whitewashed, but the Russian-s, like cunnin g fellow s as th ey are, painted it a detp dun: c o l our , the Letter to remark the earthworks which surround it, and which they have faced lately with abettis, or stakes and boughs of trees driven into the ground. Fronting this, and in a direct tion near y south south-west, we have thrown up a heavy battery of 21 guns, to which we have given the name, ie cempliment to our gallant. Allies, of " French nrau', bill. Tine Lattcry is distant, perhaps, 1,209 yards from the dockyard creek, along the front of wheli the Russians have thrown up a large earthwork in tt.e form of a right angle, called a cedar, and an ot other, Bar to which our engineers have applied the name " rack Battery." Next to Frenchman's-hill, „„e on the opposite side of a deep ravine running down into ti!, dockyard creek, is another heavy battery, denominated " Green-hill," b eyond which the French hues commence, which extend from that to "Arrow Bay on the sea. Fronting the French lines, front which they are distant now only four or five hundred yards, the Russians have throw n up two heavy earthworks, called, in the language of the camp, the "Summer -house "and " Flag-staff " batteries. These terminate the chain of Russian earthworks, but they have a large stone battery on the extreme right near the sea, which is likely to give the French some trouble be fore it is taken. Beyond Frenchman's-hill and more to the right we had another five gun battery of 61-pound ers, commanding the left face of tke Round Tower, but they have removed four of the guns to Green-hill, where they have done great execution to the barracks and thehouses on that side of the town. When first we opened tire the Russians had a large three-deeker, called the Twelve Apostles, moored in the dockyard creek, at the mouth of the ravine between Frenchman's-hill and Green-hill batteries, but they soon shifted it out of that to prevent its being set on fire, which it would have been to a certainty bad it remained in the same place Since then also they have concealed all their shipping in the Careening Bay, at the back of the Round Tower, where they are effectually hid from observation, and protected from the fire of our guns, unless a stray shot goes near them. The entrance of the harbour is only. eight hundred yards across, and is defended on the north side by forts Constantine and Catherine, and on the south side by forts Alexander, St. Nicholas, and Panl, mount ing I should be afraid to say how many guns, but you may be able to form some estimate of their number when I tell you that fort St. Nicholas, which is the largest, mounts 192 alone. Above Fort Constantine, and on the north side, is a small fort, which the navy have given the name of the " Wasp's Fort," and a large earthwork called the "Star Fort," which I expect will give as some trouble to take, even after this side is taken, unless we can starve the garrison out, which we shall certainly attempt. The Russians have a large army assembled there, with which they made as attack on our right flank on the sth of this month, where the camp of the Second Division, S'r de Lacy Evans's, rests on the valley of Inkerman. This action, to which Lord Raglan has given the name of " the Battle of Inkerman," is the severest that we have had yet, more so than Alma, as it began at 7 o'clock in the morning, and raged without ceasing until 4 in the after noon. lam afraid to say what our losses have been, but that of the Russians is variously estimated, from 12,000 to 11,000, which is rather under than above the mark, incredible as it may seem. The Russians bad at least fifty thousand men en gaged that day, and brought up nearly a hundred guns to bear upon our position, consisting chiefly of 24 and 32-pounders, which put our modest little field-pieces, so to speak, to the blush. However, two 18-pounders which we brought u p l ate i n the day did good execution, and mowed down their crowded ranks like corn before the sickle. Indeed I never saw such frightful carnage in my life, not even at Alma, when the 23d lost so many, and could not have believed it possible that the dead could lie so thick together, if I had not witnessed it with my own eyes. As fur the numbers of muskets and bayonets, brass caps, great coats, cartouch-boxes, cartridges,grapeshot, cannon-balls, fragments of shell, and dead horses lying upon the growl, they ex7eeded all calculation. The Russians evi dently came for a lengthened stay on the heights, as they brought up a quantity of faecines and gabions to entrench themselves with, in which design they were grievously disappointed, and had to leave then, all behind when they retired, besides 4 ammunition waggons, which we found filled full of shot, and purpose sending back to them the next time we meet. If ever they had a chance of thrashing us it was then, as a dense fog hung about the hills, which enabled them to get their guns into position, and to assemble their forces unperceived, yet no people ever failed more completely. The 2 , 1 Division was taken first by surprise, and had ' hardly time to seize their arms and to fill in before the ereiny was upon them. To add to their confusion, when :hay came to discharge their arms, not more than one in five would go off after the wanting of the previous night, when it, rained iii torrents. However, they held their ground like trumps until the other Division came up, and succeed e d in inflicting severe loss upon their opponents, who lied been led to uxpeet that they would meet with little or no opposition from us. The Empe ror's two sons, Constantine and Nicholas, were both on the ground, but took precious good care, I have no doubt, not to expose themselves more than they could help. My regiment was one of the first up, and upon being ordered to charge, dashed forward with such spirit that we got completely surrounded. Fortunately, a panic seized the Russians, who ran away like a flock of sheep, and we were enabled to return in comparative safety, or we should have bean cut to pieces. As it was, we lost a fifth, of our numbers, but were the means of saving four of our guns which the artillery had already abandoned as no longer ten able. The hardest fighting decidedly was around a two gun-battery on the extreme right of our line, where I counted five hundred dead Russians in a space that yen could hardly put fifty. The Culdstreams, who defended this position, had eight officers, and I don't know how many men, ci uelly butchered, in cold blood, by the Rus sians, after they had been left wounded on the ground,and consequently could do nothinc , to defend th emse l ves. Most of th e pr i soners were found to be quitedrunk, which is a common practice of the Russians to give them false courage ; however it did nut answer, if they expected them to gain the victory. Another practice, too, of theirs is to station battalions in the rear will orders to fire on those in front in case they attempt to run back, which was done both at Alma and Inkerman—so at least their deserters declare. The troops that we fought at Inkerman were very different to those we met at Alma, who were really fine able-bodied men, with light hair and eyes, and high checked bones, very like the Scotch, whereas the former looked half starved, and had the most villanous expressions of countenance. Many of them had come all ibe way from the Danube, and had been three months on the march. They are still encamped on the other side of the Inkerman valley, but are not likely to renew their attack on that quarter, which the Ftench are busy fortifying. A battalion of French rendered material assistance at Inkerman, and drove the Russians before them like chaff before the wind, since which our men can never inset them with out shouting, " Bravo la France !" to which the others say, "le brave Anglais." The silence and gloom of our encampment contrasts strongly with the noise of theirs, which is often enlivened by the strains of one of their military bands. The fact is,. when we landed in the Crimea all our instruments were left on board ship, and the bandsmen being required to carry about stretchers for the sick and wounded, it has not been thought worth while to send for them. I could relate many amusing anecdotes of the sailors who have camps next ours, but must leave them to another oppor tunity. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DI Y.)

BRISTOL, JAN. 3.—ACCIDENT WHILST SHOOTING.—We regret to have t• record a distressing accident which oc curred on Thursday to T. Trumper, Esq., of the Lawns, Grosrnont, Monmouthshire. Mr. T. was, with some friends, out shooting; the day was frosty and the ground slippery. In crossing a small brook at the bottom of a dingle Mr. Trumper fell, the gun flew out of his hand, and in the shock exploded, carrying away the whole of the back part of the right hand from the knuckles to the wrist. It was providential that he was not shot dead upon the spot, for the charge tore away the edge of the shooting jacket and carried off a portion of his whiskers. As it was the injury was serious enough, for the shattered hand bad to be amputated ; the operation was skillfully performed by Mr. James Lane, surgeon, of 6lrosmont, and we are glad to be able to state that Mr. Trumper is proceeding as favourably as, under the circumstances, can he expected. The Bristol, South Wales, and Southampton Railwa♦ project has been abandoned for the present session of Parliament. Private letters from Balaklava, of the 21st ult., state that reinf3rcements continued to arrive. The day before 800 men of the 17th Engli,li Regiment, co►nin;; from Gibraltar, marched through the cantonments of the first French division. A new battery has been erected, on the north side of Cronstadt. A merchant there, of the name of Oeterow, whose house was required to be pulled down to make room, has presented to the battery the picture of the "miracle-working St. Nicholas," in a silver frame, in 'commemoration of the Emperor's coming thither to trace out the lines of the foundation. Lord and Lady Foley, after closing their visit to the Duke and Duchess of Bedford, at Woburn Abbey, re• turned to Arundel Castle, where the noble Lord and Lady. and youthful family are expected to remain with their noble relatives, the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk until the ro assembling of Parliament Age.
