The veteran LANDOR is still on the look out from his watch tower. His eagle eye lately de tected, perdu, somewhere in a byeway—uncared for, old and impoverished —a descendant of DEFOE. His earnest voice, sounding as of old like a trumpet through the Press, and by means of the Press becoming re-echoed throughout the country far and wide, called upon us, one and all, to see to it—that no such disgrace should fall upon our generation, as that poverty should be the lot in his extreme age, of any one bearing the name of the patriot author of the "The True-Born Eng lishman." Fervently let us hope that the plea advanced by SAVAGE LANDOR, in behalf of our glorious DEFOE'S descendant, may not have been raised in vain ; but that some substantial tribute to his memory may solace the declining years of his remote offsprinz, and while so doing attest the affectionate interest with which his fame is to this day cherished among his fellow countrymen. It is a meed due to the Father of our English Essayists —to the poet of the "Jure Divine" —to the historian of the " Plague of London" --to the great humorist-novelist-sati rist-publicist —the inimitable author of the in comparable "Robinson Crusoe." WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR has pointed out to us very lately the manner in which we may signally evidence our regard for the memory of DEFOE, our appre ciation of his masculine genius, and our respect for his uncompromising :Algona. Shame t o us if the hint be not taken betimes. Shame to us if the descendant of one so much the glory of our literature should be allowed to pass away to his grave unnoticed and unhonoured—his grey hairs contemned, his penury unassuaged, his name e un recognised as a talisman to the respect and syr a . pathy of every True-born Englishman. Scarcely have we listened to this startling appeal, forced upon our notice so very unexpect edly by Mr. LANDOR, in behalf of an old man, whose veins, though cooling with age, are yet w armed with the blood that throbbed a hundred and odd years ago in the heart of DANIEL DEFOE --when we are aroused anew to attention by the voice of our veteran man-of-letters calling to us again, and this time, if possible, more earnestly than ever, from his grey old watch tower. The Cry raised now in such forceful accents, if it means an ything means a cry of anguish, almost of de pair, over the dreadful spectacle of England di • eeing away her honour, her blood, and her treasures, because of the whims of an octogenarian Comm aude r-in-Chief, and of the caprices of a Germanised Government. The truth is---we are always in extremes. For merly we placed at the head of our army in the East, old Generals no longe r fit for active service, worn out, used up, done for, literally and tho roughly. Wonderful Captains of the Penisular war-time—men who ought to have been snugly ensconced at home by their comfortable firesides, their poor old feet in slippers and their poor old htads tucked under flannel nightcap; instead of straddling about Crim Tartary in jack boots " a world too wide for their shrunk shanks," and P l aying the very devil with the meteor flag of England among the ruins of Inkerman and far away down. in the fatal valley of Balaklava. Now it seems the tables are turned. The old men have had their day, as the dogs have theirs. The Peninsular heroes have been tried and found Wanting. The juniors are to f o ll ow i n d ue course —but not ra ti onally as peopl e had hoped ; on the contrary, it appears now most irrationally. For example. There is the supreme post of honour and responsibility, that of the Commander-in- Chief. To whom in the name of fortune is this high post awarded by our sagacious rulers, now ¶r fl it ott." * .____44.oNAO ~ti N.() w..11,4 k ig -- ._ - * . v!tfel j1,!1.m No v myna F 4 4. it k . iiiii 6 that Marshal Lord RAGLAN has succumbed under the fatigues of campaigning, and that General Sir JAMES SIMPSON has fallen quietly into the back ground ? Why, actually a soldier who had never been in action before that great Battle of the Alma, with which this Crimean War against Russia was, on the 20th of September of 1854, inaugu rated ! After times will scarcely credit such ex traordinary precipitation after such amazing pro crastination such astonishing rashness after such astounding timidity. Well may WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR insist upon the fitness of a tried Great Captain, like General GUYON, as contrasted with the reverse, as exemplified by such men as General SIMPSON or General CODRINGTON. " Had a WILLIAMS or a GUYON commanded our armies," a.ys Mr. LANDOR, " how many thousands had now filled their ranks who now fill their graves." General GUYON is, indeed, well thought of at this imminent juncture. His glorious feats of arms are still, we believe, fresh in the popular recollection. Who has for gotten his memorable campaign in Transylvania ? Who does not at once associate his deeds of glory in that wonderful Hungarian War of Independence, with those recorded of poor dead BEM, of the young KLAPKA, and of the veteran DEMBINSKI ? But, alas, the names of these heroes are bound up with a thought ever full to us of the bitterest heart-burning—the thought that all this while Poland, and Hungary, and Italy are shut out from any participation whatever in this great War against Russian Despotism—a war waged (as all the world knows by this time) not in the cause of plunder or of conquest, but in the sacred interests of liberty and civilisation. The time may come when Italians, Poles, and Hungarians may yet be marshalled under their national banners side by side with the soldiers of England, and France, and Sar dinia—when a GUYON, a KLAPKA, and a DEM BINSKI may share the glories of the struggle with a WINDHAM, a BOSQUET, and a PELLISIER—a struggle then in earnest for the freedom of the nations, not as some might venture to call it now adays (looking to the German "element" WALTER LANDOR wots of), as the phrase runs—Querelle d' Allemand. On Saturday we stated that the Philo-Musco vites were indefatigable in the cause to which they have deemed it expedient and justifiable to devote their exertions ! Each day furnishes ad ditional corroboration to the truth and accuracy of our assertion. Since that time, a previously written letter of Mr. COBDEN has been put pro minently forward, and the programme of a Stop the-War League has also been actively circulated by the press organ of the Peace-at-any-price party. We are satisfied that these convulsive efforts can not exercise any material influence on the national feeling—that the voice of public opinion, so clearly and unequivocally expressed, cannot be silenced by such an extraordinary combination of pompous platitudes, specious sophistries, and un founded misrepresentations—that the medley of un blushing falsehood and ridiculous twaddle will be merely taken at its real value, and that persons whose names once stood high in fhe estimation of the people of England can by such conduct only succeed in blasting their former reputation, with out in the slightest degree advancing the interests of Russia, or saving from well-merited chastise ment the AUTOCRAT on whose behalf they are willing to make such serious sacrifices. We shall first deal with Mr. COBDEN, who at one time laboured energetically and efficiently in a good cause, and who received a very handsome testimonial for his really valuable services. A. testimonial not merely for the relief of the sick or needy—for the education of youth—the sup port of old age—or the alleviation of any descrip tion of affliction—not in the shape of a service of plate, which by judicious arrangements between the managers or the recipient, and the silver smith, was worth less than a moiety of its nomitetl value, but one represented in dirty acres and hard cash—a handsome estate, and a goodly array of figures under the attractive heading s. d. We do not say that Mr. COBDEN did not merit a high reward—although other earlier labourers in the same vineyard, who had borne the brunt of battle, the ridicule, the contempt, and the toil of the agita tion, long before Mr. COBDEN had emerged from his previous obscurity, remained unrequited, having only their labour for their pains, accompanied by the approbation of their own consciences and the esteem and gratitude of their countrymen. The neglect of the superior claims of Colonel, now Major-General, PERRONET THOMPSON, and the Right Hon. CHARLES PELHAM VILLIERS, the first champions, who lifted the gauntlet of monopoly, and vigorously and devotedly fought the battle when others were silent, was disgrace ful to the British people. It was, ho sever, but an additional illustration of the accuracy of the old proverb— " Unus seminat alter metak" THOMPSON and VILLIERS sowed the good seed, COBDEN and BRIGHT gathered in a rich crop. The former gained empty honours, the latter substan tial pudding. We do not wonder that Mr. COBDEN, whose experiences of the value of agita tion are of such a very pleasing and satisfactory description, should be quite willing to re-enter the arena. A second tribute, which would doubt less be enhanced by a magnificent list from St. Petersburg, would . be by no means unacceptable to the Hon. Gentleman. The object of his verbose and lengthy epistle to the Editor of the Lee Is Mercury is to prove that the War is unpopular with the English com munity, and that " Peace-at-any-Price," or on any conditions, would be highly acceptable to the great body of the people. This is a point susceptible of easy proof. We earnestly hope that the best test and criterion of the true state of public opinion —an appeal to the country, followed by a general election —may be afforded, an d then there could b e b ut little doubt remaining on the point. Mr. COBDEN himself might possibly be compelled to restrict his argu ments to the columns of journals now so strongly vituperated, although once lauded usque ad nau seam,. Bu t is there a single district throughout of the re no la w n n d e , d a pl s a o t l f i o ta r r ra orator would venture to y o th a e sis le i n n g t t h h e breadth where the face a fairly-constituted and desert the assembled decided by the suffrages of public meeting, and to have the q uestion at issue multi tude ? We believe not. even BRIGHT We believe that, with all his acknowled ge d pugnacity, himself would shrink from such a trial, and a for tiori would COBDEN, whose moral courage is scarcely of so hi g h a c h arac t er as that of his "friendly" coadjutor. One argument he avails himself of, and pushes to the utmost extent. It is indeed the main point on which he relies, for that relatinr , to the mis management of the War and the sufferings of the troops is purloined from his opponents. It is the difficulty of recruiting the ranks—the unwilling ness of men to accept the QuEErr's shilling, and the number of boys that have consequently been attested as recruits, and who, as he asserts, have not been able to sustain the honour of the country. But does it follow that the War must be unpopular because men are not ready and willing to abandon their homes and families, to leave wives and children to starvation, or something worse, for the slender inducements held out to a private soldier ? Give fair pay, any , thiug‘ like what a man can earn in any civil occupation, hold out reasonable prospects of promotion to the meri torious, and there will be no lack of candidates. Never was there a time when there was greater enthusiasm amongst those seeking for commissions, when, notwithstanding the greatly increased demand, the supply is ample, and the candidates, even for purchase, are nume rous and pressing. This is a better test than that of recruits, although we believe that in that de partment there has been no falling off ! The fact is not, therefore, as Mr. CoBDEN asserts, although were it so, it would furnish no adequate test. The only surprising matter is that notwithstanding the sufferings of which ho has made the most, so many are ready still to volun teer, and that the honour of Old England is still nobly maintained without any resort to a con scription or compulsory service ! A retired miller, who we sincerely trust did not enter on his relapse towards a normal state before he had discovered the wheel of fortune and his mill-wheel to be identical, or at all events pretty equally at his command, writes to us judicially under the signature of " A Norfolk Villager." In his retirement from the dust and whirr of busy life, he has, it. would appear, found time to read The Sun occasionally, and cultivate after a bungling fashion a corner of his conscience, which is not much to be wondered at *hen we find how politico-economico CHALYBEAN was the soil, and JOHN BRIGHTISH the undergrowth. Glancing over our impression of Wednesday last, his eye, in obedience to an old professional instinct, lighted at once on the article commencing " The Agriculturists of Leicestershire," which he would appear to have read with an avidity which allowed him no time to discover its precise character, though quite sufficient, in his opinion, to warrant him in taking us to task about it. The article in question, instead of being de voted, as he intimates, to a consideration of " the farmers, their crops, and the War," had not a syl lable about the War in it. The subject with which it dealt was Mr. PAOKE'S most censurable speech at the Agricultural Society's dinner at Loughborough, and more especially that part of it in which he counselled the agricultural body to withhold all information as to the num ber of acres they might have sown with wheat or other grain, and the sort of crop they Ind. harvested. A. piece of advice, it may be re membered, which he clenched by bidding his hearers " look at present prices,. and say whether it was probable they could do better, or even as welr—adding, " Why meddle with them (the agricultural body), and injure their concerns ?" (The information required, by the way, being sought in order to prevent artificial rises in the price of grain.) The public delivery of such ad vice we pronounced imprudent. In the first place, because entirely needless—the agricultural body always, save when facts were too many for them, when they resort to a Et urleigh-like shake of the head (as at present), doing their utmost to en shroud their affairs in a thick fog of grumbling. Secondly, because the high price of bread had just been the occasion of riots in Hyde-park, and of much anxiety on the part of timid house keepers for the coning winter ; and the inevi table inference from his remarks was that the increase in prize had been obtained through the system of secrecy which he recommended ; the farmers, by pursuing it, having contzived. "to entrap the public into giving the present high prices. Pestilent advice enough," we remarked, "but more injurious friendship—that which exposes to destruction the goose that lays the golden egg ! He (Mr. PACKE) could not be content with their (the farmers') enjoyment of a good thing Dbtained (on his own showing) at the expense of the suffering masses, but he must let the cat out of the bag—must make the public as wise as him self, must make it known that the present price of grain is artificial, and that the extra price thus fraudulently obtained finds its way into the farmer's pocket. There's a friend for you, agriculturists of Leicestershire. It is quite as well, however (we went on to say), that the truth has thus come out, for the proof now being afforded of the impolicy of so huckstering and im moral a procedure will be all the more striking. Already suspicions were being entertained as to the real state of the case, as the corn-market is beginning to show. Henceforth it will be more difficult to gull the public." On this " A Norfolk Villager" a little sorely, we suspect, remarks, in effect, " it is quite true what you say about the grumbling of the farmer. I haven't been a miller for 50 years without be ing able to testify to that ; but I am compelled, in conscience, to contradict you when you say that the prices of wheat, fluur, and bread are unneces sarily kept up this year, and if you'll attend to me I'll prove you are wrong. In the first place, I beg to call your attention to the fact that there was less wheat on hand this year than usual, not withstanding it was generally acknowledged that the wheat crop of 1854 was unusually productive, whereas the crop of 1855 proves to be on an average one-third deficient of the crop of 1854, and one-fourth short of an average. Secondly—although with all your talk about huckstering, fraud, and immorality, you find it to your own interest (?) to keep up the war cry, you will surely not go the length of doubting that our foreign supplies are impeded by the War ? Here, then, I lay my finger on the real cause of the famine prices. It is not the farmer—it is not the miller—it is not the baker, —it is not the—no—it is the War I The War that prevents us from receiving a supply to meat the above deficiency. Corn, in short, is scarce, and being also in demand has risen, and you " may as well try to cheapen it by writing it down," under such circumstances, " as to turn the wind out of its course." Speculation rimy, possibly, (this from a miller !) run up an article beyond its legitimate value for a time—but this must in the en d fall on the heads of imprudent venturers. But s p ecu l a ti on h as no t b een a t wor k here, an d you'll find that with the present crop wheat will reach 1003. a quarter on the ave rage, unless prevented by enormous foreign sup plies." Excellent logician, and most cheerful prophet What have we to say Mr. PACK; w h o made the re e ply him whie t h our conclusi ons to Iv remarks from ßefer were fairly drawn ? We will not be so inhumane. Our answer is this—. When our comments were penned we were in blissful igno rance of the existence of • • so infallible an authority as " A Norfolk Villager," and were compelled to resort only to our mother wit or "common sense" and the authority of Mr. LAIRD -_a gentleman, by the way, who has the reputation of knowing more than most men about agricultural matters. Meet ing with what appeared to us to be equivalent to a confession that the habitual secrecy of the agri cultural body had met its reward this year in the high price of grain, (the rise in which could not fail to be obtained " at the expense of the suffering masses,") we turned to Mr. CAIRD for further enlightenment, and what did we find ?--Anything approximating to the story "A Norfolk Villager" now tells us ? B no means. Instead of the crop being sot down by that Gentleman as one-third less than that of 1854, and one-fourth short of the average, we found Mr. CAIRD of opinion that on the whole there was nearly an average produce per acre, and that over much beyond an average surface. Allow ing, however,- for safety's sake, a deficiency per acre of one-tenth, and estimating the increased breadth sown at one-fourth the average crop of the United Kingdom (13,500,000 qrs.), lie had arrived at the conclusion that the wheat crop of 1855 amounts to 15,187,500 qrs., which, esti mating the annual consumption of the United Kingdom at 18,000,000, leaves a deficiency of 2,812,500, or little more than one-half the average annual importation of the last five years to be supplied from abroad, a quantity too small to be interfered with by the entire ab sonco of a supply from the Northern ports. So little reason had we to anticipate the informa tion of our correspondent, and to saddle famine prices on the War ! And yet, with only half the usual supply to seek from abroad, and an unusually excellent crop of potatoes at home, the public, ac cording to the same authority, had been paying, at the time we wrote, 20s. per quarter, or 1,500,0001. a month more in corn than they did last year. What were we to infer ? Some one must have been pocketing the extra amount, and who so likely as the farmer, who confessed as much, and for taking whom at his word, " A Norfolk Villager" accuses us of ignorance, and in all the dignity of superior informa tion takes us to task for it ? But a truce to banter. Our correspondent must adduce bet ter testimony than his own before he can suc ceed in convincing us that the rise in corn was not artificial—the creature of panic, owing its origin mainly to the system of mystification which Mr. PACKS recommended the agriculturists of Leicestershire, and after them of the kingdom to pursue. Every day, in fact, instead of diminish ing our credence in the at once encouraging and damnatory statement of Mr. CAIRD increases it, or rather tends to convince us that it is, if anything, under-drawn. In conclusion, we admit our inability to reduce legitimate prices by any conceivable strokes of our pen, but are unable to say as much respecting the ex plosion of conspiracies. In our professional capa city we have hitherto followed the dictates of our conscience, and have always found our own inte rests to be identical with a due consideration for the interests of the public. It is not likely, there fore, wo say it for the edification of the class of which " A Norfolk Villager" may be considered a representative, that we will bo deterred from en deavouring to explode all conspiracies of whatever sort (corn and cotton included) against the pockets of the public or the honour and safety of the na tion—by unwarranted statistics, clumsy sneers, or maudlin prophecies, bearing suspicious marks of being dictated by self-interest, however plausibly they may be advanced. Among the more massive and generally appre ciable of our literary characters Dr. JOHNSON will ever occupy a foremost place. Other writers have possessed not inferior kdowledge, and will be handed down to posterity encircled with a halo which a higher genius than the Doctor's could alone insure. But so long as the Anglo• Saxon race exists, and multiplies throughout the world, tokens . of its practical good sense, heroic energy and perseverance, and the emphatically masculine understanding of the author of the English Dictionary, will attract to his shrine a crowd of worshippers. The lone man of letters issuing from how long a retreat in a forgotten garret, to tower on the strength of high desert and popular support above the tram mels of lordly patronage, and command the re spect of the highest, while he earned the gratitude of the most distressed—the tall, lumbering, short sighted man, his countenance seamed with the omall-pox, whom no one passed without a feeling of respect, could hardly, indeed, fail to be what he is—an object of national pride, and one of our most prized possessions. R ow rea l th e es t eem in which his memory is held, and the gratitude expressed for his services, we are happy to per ceive the public have now a brief opportunity of showing. A goddaughter, a venerable gentle remembered i n th e D oc t or ' s l as t woman, aged 7 8 , will, and who, it will be seen, in an appeal made on her behalf in another column, " recollects, in a dim but ineffaceable manner, the big awful figure of SAIWEL JOHNSON, to whom she was car ried shortly before his death that he might lay his hand on her head and give her his blessing, her awe and terror being very great on the occa sion," is, together with a sister younger than her self, threatened "with absolute indigence in these their final days." Unless a fund be raised to prevent such a catastrophe, the little parlour at Deptford, containing the fir desk upon which SAMUBL JOHNSON wrote the English Dictionary, and in which these gentlewomen "have lived for years in rigorous but not undignified poverty," will shortly cease to afford them an asylum. The Premier has already been appealed to, and has done as much, it would seem, as he could with the funds at his disposal; and yet some 4001. are still wanting to purchase a paltry annuity of 301. for them. Need we make any appeal to the readers of The Sun on their behalf ? There is not a man among them but has heard of and is proud of Dr. JoHNsoN ; and if any lady reader remembers too acutely the Doctor's gruffness, that like a rough rind encompassed now and then the precious fruit of his kindly wisdom, she has but to reflect that the halt, lame, and blind in his day called him blessed, and our wish is accomplished. Messrs. CC/TUTS, bankers, will receive subscriptions. SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO MR. LOCKE, M.P.—We regret to learn that a very serious accident occurred to Mr. Locke, M.P., on Thursday last, while engaged in in. specting the works of a tunnel on a railway in the vi cinity of Rouen. The Right Hon. Sir James Graham has returned to Netherby, from visiting the Earl of Aberdeen, at Iladdo House. Lieut.-Col. Heyland, 7th Fusiliers, who was shot through the leg at the storming of the Redan, has arrived at Portsmouth, suffering much from his wound. The price of bread in Paris for the first fortnight of the present month remains fixed at 50c. the 21b. loaf Ist quality. ASSEMBLING OF PARLIAMENT.—We (says the Observer) are glad to be able to announce that there is no present intention to call Parliament together before the usual time. Thera is no apprehension of any event of suffi cient gravity to cause the assembling of the Legislature until the ordinary period of public business. Thrum Aesizz.—Government have determined upon holding a winter assize, for gaol delivery, throughout the more important of the counties generally throughout England. The authorities are in consultation with the judges as to the most convenient period, and other ne cessary arrangements, of which due notice will be given to the public in proper time. —Observer. THE ENGLISH ROMAN CATHOLICS.--Soon after the arrival of the intelligence of the fall of Sebastopol the Te Deum was sung in all the Catholic churches in Lon don as a thanksgiving for the success of our army. Notice was yesterday given that solemn requiem masses would be sung in the churches for the brave fellows who have died in defending their country. We are authorised to say that there is no truth what ever in the statement that Mr. James Wilson has re signed the office of Financial Secretary of the Treasury, and has accepted. the Chairmanship of the Board of Inland Revenue. We are happy to ald that Mr. J. Wood, who has so long and FO ably filled that office, has entirely recovered from his recent illness, and will shortly be able to resume his duties. —Times. An immense unmber of people of all classes of society, in accordance with French custom, went on Thursday and Fritiay to the different cemeteries, to visit the tombs of their relatives; and friends. Detachments of troops were stationed n ear the various burial-places to preserve r der, but their services were not required.—aalignani. LATEST NEWS. _._..,. OPERATIONS ON THE DNIEPER AND IN THE CRIMEA. (Fiore the Invalide Rune.) The following telegraphic despatch has been forwarded from Nicolaieff to St. Petersburg, by order of the Emperor : " NICOLAIEFF, OCT. 24, 9 P.M. "Since yesterday neither the enemy's fleet nor the land troops, in position near Kinburn, have undertaken any movement. There has merely been considerable activity observed among the light boats of the fleet, passing from one detach- ment to another. " The total number of the enemy's vessels re mains the same, and their position at anchor is unaltered." The subjoined telegraphic despatch has also been published at St. Petersburg : " ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 2. "All the ships of the line of the enemy's fleet which were in the vicinity of Kinburn put to sea on the Ist November. "From the Crimea there is nothing new sinca the 31st of October." EUPATORIA. The French Minister of War has received the following telegraphic despatch from Marshal Pelissier : SEBASTOPOL, Nov. 2. On the 27th of October General d'Allonville, with 24 battalions, 38 squadrons, and 56 pieces of artillery, advanced on the road from Eupatoria to Simpheropol, as far as the ravine of Tchobatar. He found the Russians firmly established on the opposite side of this ravine, where they have thrown up an intrenchment defended by 36 guns, all 32-pounders. Some shots fired from them at long range reached our ranks and struck down several men and horses. Every attempt made to draw the enemy out of this strong position and bring them to an engage ment proved unsuccessful. Ten Rusiian squadrons fell back before four Turkish squadrons which General d'Allonville sent forward against them. On the following day the same manoeuvres were repeated with no greater result. The scarcity of water after passing Sak, and the difficulty of supplying the troops with forage, determined the General to return on the 29th to Eupatoria. The environs of Eupatoria for a considerable distance have been totally abandoned by the Russians. MARSEILLES, MONDAY MORNING. The Sinai, which was expected on Saturday, has arrived. Her dates are, the Crimea, 23d of October ; Constantinople, 25th. She brings 400 invalids. Her despatches will leave at 9 a.m. The Byzantine steamer has left with troops for the Crimea. HAMBURG, SUNDAY. Seven English ships of the line—the Cressy, Edinburgh, Royal George, Ajax, Nile, Blenheim, and Hogue—are now in Kiel Harbour on their return from the Baltic. MADRID, Nov. 2. The Carlist chief Estartus has been taken prisoner. The factious bands in Catalonia continue to make their submission. The cholera was decreasing. FRANCE. PARIS, SUNDAY. Vice-Admiral Trebouart has been appointed Com mander in-Chief of the Mediterranean squadron. The Emperor, wishing to show his high esteem for General Bosquot, who has had so glorious a part in the Eastern war, has sent Captain Morancl, one of his orderlies, to Marseilles to meet him, with the military medal. The Emperor yesterday received at the Palace of St. Cloud Count Vilain XIV., Belgian Minister of Foreign Affairs, who was presented to his Ma jesty by M. Firmin Rogier, the Belgian Minister at Paris. The Prince do Chimay had a private audience of the Emperor to deliver letters from the King of the Belgians and from the Duke and Duchess of Brabant for the Empress. The Mar quis of Lansdowne was also received by the Emperor. The special mission with which General Canrobert has been charged to the royal family of Sweden has caused many remarks in the German press. A letter from Hamburg of the 30th ultimo, in the Constitutionnel, has the following on the subject : " The visit of General Canrobert to Stockholm could not fail to give rise to a variety of conjec tures. (Among other things, it is said that he is charged with a negotiation having for its object to get the consent of the Swedish government to the al lied fleets, or a part of them, wintering in its ports. That cannot be the case, and the reason is very simple. There is no occasion for any negotiation for such a pur pose, as the Swedish government, in its official declara tion of neutrality at the outset of the war, positively established that the porta of Sweden and Norway, with some few exceptions made for national reasons, should be open to the belligerent parties. The Western Powers thus have a right to let their fleets winter in one of the ports of that country, if they think it advisable so to do. Nevertheless, you may be cer tain that the mission of General Canrobert has not for its only object to present to the King and to the Prince Royal of Sweden the grand cross of the Le gion of Honour, in exchange for the grand cordon of the Order of the Seraphim, recently sent to the Emperor Napoleon. It is not customary to send a personage of the general's importance, and one honoured with the particular confidence and affection of the Emperor, merely to deliver a decoration, and without having something else to say. Ido not wish to set myself up as a prophet, but I think that events will soon show that the object of the general's visit is nothing less than to lay the foundation for a Scandinavian alliance against Russia. What confirms me in this opinion is, that General Canrobert, after fulfilling his mission at Stock holm, is to proceed to Copenhagen." A petition praying for the reopening of the Universal Exhibition in 1856 is now being signed in Paris, and has already received several thousand signatures.

VIENNA, OCT. 26. --- fi;(Tesierreichische Zeitung, which is now generally supposed to expresa opi nions entertained by Baron Bruck, has a long and wearisome leader on the importance of Germany, and the advisability of Austria's continuing her endeavours to induce the Bund to act with her. Central Europe, consisting of Germany and Aus tria intimately united, is said to be the hobby on which the Minister of Finance is accustomed to ride, but it appears strange that such a practical man should have a predilection for a back " with no go in it." It must be observed that the policy of Baron Bruck in the Eastern question has given his opponents occasion maliciously to remark that he is a Russian by birth. The Agramer Zeitung gives the following account of an agrarian dis turbance that took place on the 24th at a place called St. Simon, which is at a short distance from the Croatian capital. An estate belonging to the chapter claimed tithes, which the inhabitants of the villages of Stefanec and Bazun refused to pay. In the evening 500 or 600 peasants assembled in front of the Rectory of St. Simon, and demanded that three men, who had been arrested for refusing to pay the tithes, and the collectors of the tithes, should be delivered up to them. The Rector went out to endeavour to pacify his irritated flock, but met with a very rough reception. As the prisoners confined in the rectory were not liberated by the gensdarmes, an attack was made on the gates with posts and axes. The gensdarmes, in driving back the assailants, received some hard knocks, and making use of their weapons they killed one man on the spot, and wounded two severely. A mixed commission (half civil and half military) has been sent to St. Simon to examine into the affair. We are curious to learn whether the chapter had a right of ancient standing to levy tithes, or whether it acted on the strength of the 24th paragraph of the new Concordat. On the 17th of October a band of about 1,000 armed men made the public roads in Montenegro insecure. A few days before some peaceable inhabitants of the Herzegovina, who were driving oxen for sale to the Austrian town of Ragusa, were robbed of 180 of them by the Montenegrins. The Prince persists in main taining a cordon against his neighbours, but not withstanding his precautions the cholera con tinues to spread. The news contained in Le Nord, that possession of the Crimea is to be maintained at any and every sacrifice, has produced little effect here, as every one recollects that the Russians never employed such high and mighty language as whe n , "f or strategical reasons," Prince Gortschakoff was mak ing the best of his way from Moldavia into Bessa rabia. The following is a condensed translation of a long (Russian) letter, of the 19th, received by the Ost. Deutsche from Odessa : " By advices from Simpheropol we learn that there is a great movement in that city. Many of the inhabitants are moving to the north, and all the hospitals are being removed to Perekop, Nicolaieff, and Cherson.' The sick in those places are sent to Vossnessensk and Eliza beth-Grod. The prices of provisions at Simpheropol are enormous. Since the cavalry action at Kongyll th, enemy makes simple excursions from Eupatoria into th, interior. The Russian corps c f observation beforeEupatorit , consists of 60,000 (?) men, 20,000 of whom are cavalry. Intelligent, military men are of opinion that an advance from Eupatoria and Simpheropol and Baktshi-Serai would be a bad move, unless the allies had a powerful cavalry force and plenty of artillery at their dis posal. The opinion of the Anglo-French press that Prince Gortschakoff is in a critical position is positively ridiculous. His whole army is now mobile, which naturally was not the case as long as he had to defend South Sebastopol.' It is a mistake to believe that Sebastopol was the arsenal from which the whole arms drew its materiel. Between the Ist of March and 15th of August, the fortress of Kieff alone sent 2,700,000 bombs, grenades, and 481 b and 961 b balls to the Crimea. Th, state paid 5 roubles and 40 copecks in silver for the trans port of each pud (about 351 b. English) from Kieff to Se bastopol. During the last few days, the famous engineer Major-General Todleben has been here. The headquar ters of the southern army are to be removed from Odessa to Nicolaieff. General of Cavalry von Helfrecht wil succeed General Luders here ; his staff arrived yester day. Lieut.-General Grotenhjelm has left, with tin Third Division of Light Horse, for Oczakoff. The com mercial harbour of Oczakoff, which all ships corning from Nicolaieff, Kheraon, and Odessa entered, is of some importance." AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY. This morning, at 10 a.m., the royal mail steam ship Canada, Captain Judkins, arrived in the Mer sey with the usual mails from the United State and British North America. She sailed from Boston on the 24th ultimo and Halifax on the 26th, and has brought, besides the mails, 119 passengers and 755,000 dollars in specie on freight. The United States mail steam-ship Atlantic, from hence on the 6th of October, arrived at New York on the 18th ult. ;7: Nothing indicates an approaching settlement of the difficulty between the United States and Great Britain. Mr. Crampton's departure for England is looked forward to, and it is thought improbable that he will receive a successor. The barque mo.ury was seized at New York, sus pected as a Russian privateer, but was, with the sanction of the British minister, discharged from the custody of the States Marshal. The yellow fever has almost disappeared from the islands that it has been so prevalent in of late. Our dates from Havaimah are to Oct. 13. At that time the health of the island was good, and trade brisk. The Mexican advices state that Cevallos and Ola quilril are returning from exile. Matamoras surrendered to the revolutionists, and tranquillity generally prevailed. Money at New York unchanged. Stocks on the decline. Exchange on London, 108/ to 1091. Ditto on Paris, 5.161 to 5.171. The cotton market was from -A- to cent lower, and trado dull. Ashes firm. There was a slight alteration in the breadstuff market. Flour was buoyant at an advance of 12 cents per barrel. Wheat was firmer. Oats, a large supply. Indian corn closed dull. _ i'rOvisions are scarce, and firm in price. Freight to England rather easier. STRAND TBEATRE. This evening Mr. E. Stirling wakes his first appear ance at this theatre in the favourite melodrama, The Rai picker of Paris, of which he is the adapter. The piece, wherever and whenever it has been played, has always been highly attractive, and its representation at this theatre to-night we feel assured will not prove an exception to the rule. The "cast" embraces the ser vices of Miss Florence, Miss Bennett, Mrs. Barrett, Mr. E. Stirling, Mr. Kinlock, Mr. J. Howard, Mr. James, and several other talented artistes. The burlesque cf Nitocria seems to increase in attraction each night cf its performance ; and the acting and singing of Miss Cuth bert and Mr. W. Shalders nightly elicits the most rap turous applause. We advise a visit to this pretty little theatre, in order that the playgoing public may form a correct idea of how much can be accomplished at "The Strand." LYCEUM THEATRE.—It will be remembered that when Mr. Anderson, the Wizard, appeared at the Adelphi some ten years ago, one of his most extraordinary feats, and that by which he gained the greatest notoriety, was the performance of the celebrated gun trick, in perform ing which he allowed himself to be shot by any person present, and caught the bullet between his thumb and forefinger. We perceive that this extraordinary feat is announced as part of the programme in the Wizard's performances during the present week. ATTEMPTED WIFE MURDER. —At Nottingham Borough Police-office Thomas Franks was brought up en remand on Friday charged with having attempted to kill his wife Mary. The injured woman, though much ex hausted, was in attendance, and gave evidence. From her statement it appears that she had determined t separate from her husband, to which he was much op posed. On the day on which the crime was attempte3, after resisting the prisoner's entreaties to go home with. him, she went to bed with two other women, but was awoke between 3 and 4 in the morning by feeling a hand over her mouth and a cutting sensation at the breast. She found the prisoner leaning over her, stabbing at her with a razor in his hand, She had already received a large wound under the right breast. Other witnesse . were exatnined, and the magistrates committed the pri soner to take his trial at the next Nottingham assizes. THE PENINSULAR MAILS.—The Peninsular and Orien tal Company's steam-packet Sultan, Captain Edward Christian, Admiralty agent, Lieutenant Charles Pearson (B). R.N., arrived at Southampton yesterday with the Peninsular mails. Her dates were Gibraltar, Oct. 24 ; Cadiz, Oct. 25 ; Lisbon, Oct. 29 ; Oporto, Oct. 30 ; Vigo, Oct. 31. She brought 18 passengers, amongst whom were Mr. Shaw, Mr. Waring, Mr. Mrs. and Miss Hunt, Mr. and Mrs. Baron and child, Mr. and Mrs. Barry, and two children, Mr. J. Wright. Mr. E. Mills, Mr. - Gibson, Mr. Alex. Pope, jun., and Mr. F. Calderon. The Sultan reports that the Peninsular and Oriental mail steamer Tagus list a life boat on route to Vigo, owing to the heavy sea from the N.W. No lives lost or injured, the boat having been carried away by the sea. The Sultan experienced heavy gales from the N.W. on the 29th, 30th, and 31st, and boisterous weather during the whole voyage home. Her Majesty's steamer Pro metheus was at Gibraltar on Oct. 24. On the 29th, in Lisbon, were her Majesty's ships St. George and Nep tune. Her Majesty's ship Powerful, Captain Massey, left Lisbon on the 29th, and was off port when the packet left. All well. GREAT RISE IN THE P RICE OF S UGAR. —O n Thurs day evening a ,meeting of the grocers of Liverpool was held at the York Hotel, Williamson-square, Mr. Tate in the chair. On the motion of Mr. Basford it was re solved on and after the 2d of November the lowest price of moist sugar be V. per lb., and the lowest price of refined sugar be 44. per lb., irrespective of quality. Mr. Thompson, Mr. Gillet, and other gentlemen contended that the price should be bid. for moist and 7id• for re - fined sugar, basing their argument upon the fact that the public could not obtain sugar unless through them (the grocers)! The persons present were rather favour able to this view ; but the promoters of this meeting, who had visited the several grocers, and intimated to them that the rise should be a penny per pound upon all sugars, objected, and the amendment pro posed by Mr. Thompson was not pressed. One of the canvassers announced that he and his companion had been attacked by a woman, and they had with difficulty escaped from receiving personal chastisement. This woman had collected an immense crowd, which had fol lowed them to several shops, the lady having intimated that their object was to rob the poor.—Liverpool Mee c tcry, SPORTING NOTES. COVENTRY AND LIVERPOOL, The Autumn meetings aro now regarded with in Terence, and man and beast require a short season o rest and repose. Still, despite inclement weather and leadened enjoyment, turfites will muster where the ele ments of excitement are supplied, and where an oppor tunity is afforded for the pursuit of speculation. The gathering at Worcester on Tuesday and Wednesday was, therefore, remarkably numerous, albeit it only com prised the principal dreadnought book-makers, who, one and all having the same game in view, found business neither brisk nor profitable. Still, they conducted their Terations with stoical indifference to the pelting rain and nipping cold. The managers of the Worcester Meeting were doubtless gratified by the evidence which NaS afforded them of the flourishing popularity of their athering, for the steeplechases and flat races were alike successful, both in regard to the quantity and quality of the sport. The incidents which marked the proceedings possess no prospective importance, and they have already been so fully described that further reference to them would be superfluous. I merely notice the meeting, in order to direct the attention of the com mittee to the complaints which were made relative to the inefficiency of the arrangements in certain respect for conducting the proceedings. With a sexagenarian Clerk of the Course, and "officials," with one excep tion, totally ignorant of racing matters, it is not at all surprising that certain essential details of management .vere neglected, and that the arrangements were carried iut with neither vigour nor effect. The jockeys were sadly " put about," and their attiring room has not eeen inaptly compared with the black hole at Calcutta. Its atmosphere was close and fetid, and light was ex cluded from the reeking apartment by the crowds of trenched people that huddled against the window. Sore throats, lumbago, rheumatism, and other ills that flesh is heir to, are likely to be the portion of Mr. Johnson, who oresided over the weighing department, exposed as he was to the cold and rain. As for the gentlemen of the Fourth Estate, they were a little bettar off in their iigsty - looking "compartment," and would doutot tess have been comfortable enough had not their place ;ieen invaded by those jockeys who were unable to find room elsewhere. By the way, the person whose duty it was to keep the door of this apartment should have his supply of sherry diminished, for he was a nuisance to all persons unfortunately brought into communication with him. The p. p. betting question is not yet settled, and the promoters of that absurd measure do not construe the "division" which took place on it into a defeat. They will bring the motion for ward again in the spring. It is not little significant, however, that the gentlemen who voted for it have no reputation on the turf for racing knowledge, whilst the opponents of the motion con 41sted of " all the talent." Mr. John Frail, clerk of the course at Shrewsbury, has just achieved a triumph on whieh he will be warmly congratulated by the sporting friends who will assemble round him next week. He has been elected common councilman for the Welsh Ward, and has issued an ai lress of thanks to the " Loyal and Independent Elec tors" for the "honour they have done him in placing him at the head of the poll," thereby " prov mg their appreciation of those Protestant, and con 4equently Conservative principles he has so strongly tdvocated." I have quoted from the address which is printed in "True Blue" colours. The election was contested with no little warmth and vigour, and while .t lasted the city was in a state of great commotion. ft is said that Mr. Frail's next step will be into the chair if the Mayoralty, and that he will be ultimately re 'urned to serve his " native city" in the Commons [louse of Parliament ! Who knows ? Mr. Merry's tact in providing sport seems scarcely to have fair play at Coventry, where he is seldom so sno lessful as in his own locality. The meeting, which will take place to-morrow, will not be remarkable for either abundant or interesting sport ; still it will be " taken " , )y metropolitan turfites "on their way" to Liver pool. Five races are appointed for decision, three being legitimate events. Of the probable competitors know nothing. Master Horton and Vestige seem 'avourably weighted enough for the Handicap Plate, three quarters of a mile. For the Handicap Plate , eIF 501. I shall select Kate Hardcastle and Diego. On the " jumpers " I shall not express an opinion. The Liverpool Meeting will this year be exclusively devoted to legitimate events. The programme presents In attractive appearance, and its promise may be realised. Should The Chicken start he will doubtless be " cock of the walk" for the Aintree Plate. And as be will incur no penalty for winning, he may carry off the Sefton Handicap. His most formidable opponent for this latter event will, I fancy, be old Speed the Plough. Napoleon the Third may compensate his party for the disappointment which he occasioned them at Newmarket by winning the Nursery Handicap. November 5. A FRESH MAN. THE FARMERS, THEIR CROPS, AND THE WAR. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BUN. Srn,—Although not a regular reader of The Sun, I accidentally saw your editorial remarks of last Wednes day evening respecting the Farmers, their Crops, and the War. With respect to the farmers being constantly a race of complainers, I can fully bear my testimony from fifty years' experience as a miller ; but to say that the prices ,f wheat, flour, and bread are unnecessarily kept up this year, I must beg to differ from you, and, as I have now retired from the trade and am in no way interested in it, beyond my family consumption, you may, perhaps, be the more willing to pay some attention to my remarks. First, at the close of the harvest there was less old wheat on band than usual, notwithstanding it was gene rally acknowledged that the wheat crop of 1854 was un usually productive, whereas the crop of 1855 proves to be on an average one-third deficient of 1854, and one fourth short of an average. Secondly, although you are doubtless interested in keeping up the war cry, you are, I trust, not so unbe lieving as to suppose that our foreign supplies are not impeded by it. Here, then, is the cause of the famine prices. It does not rest with farmers, millers, or bakers, who are a race of men like all others of "common sense" (not excepting newspaper editors), who endeavour to buy " at the cheapest market and to sell at the dearest,"and whenever an article is scarce and in demand, you might as well try to cheapen it by writing it down, as to turn the wind out of its course. Speculation may possibly run up an article beyond its legitimate value for a time, but this must in the end fall on the heads of imprudent venturers. You will find that, with the present crop, wheat will reach 100 s. per quarter on the average, unless prevented by enormous foreign supplies, and I am sorry to be forced to believe that this year will prove to be one of great distress to Old England. A NORFOLK VILLAGER. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.—Nov. 3. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Our fashionable visitors are fast leaving us for the season. During this week the Earl and Countess of Desart and family have left Cambridge Villa ; G. R. Stephenson, Esq., and family, Harriet Lodge ; Colonel Gawler, the 4th Cliff Cottage ; Lady Franklin, No. 1, Solent-terrace ; Captain Harby, Rosetta Cottage ; W. M. Dansey, Esq., Egypt House ; Admiral Williams, Busigney House ; and there are but few applications for houses for the winter, though they are offered at almost nominal rents. MORE GUN-BOATS.—The Messrs. White are construct• ing four more gun-boats for the Government. They could not undertake to build any more, from the diffi• culty they have in obteiniog shipwrights. NEWPORT.—A MAIDEN, A WIFE, AND A WIDOW IN FOUR SHORT DAYS.--The uncertainty of life has been forcibly impressed on us within the last few days by the death of Mr. Edwin Caplin, of this town, in the prime of life. He was married on Thursday, the 25th ult., to Frances, youngest daughter of Mr. Wm. Hill, of Stone, near Newport. They left the island directly after the wedding, proceeding by steamer from Cowes to South ampton, intending to spend a week or two in London ; but on reaching Winchester Mr. C. found himself too ill to proceed any farther that night. The next day he became worse, and the following night he died. The shock to his young wife (not yet 21) who can desur:be He was borne to the grave on Thursday last, when the whole of the shops in Newport were closed as a mark o respect, to which his conduct through life had entitled him. THE AMERICAN AND ATISTRALIAiV MAILS. LIVERPOOL, Saturday.—The United States mail steam. ship Pacific, Captain Ezra Nye, sailed from the Mersey this afternoon, for New York, with the usual mails for the United States and British North Americln provinces, 181 passengers, and full cargo of valuable merchandise on board. Previous to the departure of the Pacific, copies of the London morning journals of this date were placed on board by Messrs. \Vintner and Smith, of Liverpool, for the press and public institutions of the western continent. The Roy a l M a il ship Canada, Commander C. H. E. Judkins (with advices from New York to the 23d, Bos ton to the 24th, and Halifax to the 26th ult.) passed Queenstown at noon to-day, bound for Liverpool. The "Black Ball" Royal mail-ship Ocean Chief, Capt. T. J. Tobin will sail on the morning of the Gth inst., with the m ails for the Australian colonies. Letters posted in Dublin, London, and GlaFgow, on the even'n of the sth inst., will be in time. In Liverpool lettere must be posted before six a.m. on the 6th, with late fees up to seven a.m., and at the floating receiving house, at the landing stage, to eight a.m., at which hour the ship will proceed tof sea. ~~...
