Appearance of the World'. Proll , zy, Mlle. CLEMENTINE SOI7LLIER. Mr. William Cooke acquaints his kind patrons that daring his re cent visit to the French cal•ital he formed an en;ageme•it, for a limite4 number of nights, and upon exorbitant terms, with the first equestrienne in the world, 3111 e. Clementine Smaller, who will appear the nations of the eart)j lilt to; ether If these Looking, then, to a currency perfectly adequate for all domestic purposes, the questions that natu rally arise are-Ist. Through what agency should that currency be supplied ? 2d. By whom should the profits arising therefrom be realised ? The first point is that of paramount importance, for however desirable it may be to gain a million of pounds sterling per annum, and to be enabled to afford proportionate relief to the overburdened taxpayer--the mere question of profit is alto gether secondary to that of procuring a safe and comparatively steady measure and representative of value, by means whereof the whole internal commerce of the country might be carried on. We may again resort to the columns of the Times to discover the correct solutions of these interesting problems, the proper answers to the questions-Ist. Who is justly entitled to the privilege of sending out a legal tender currency ? 2dly. How could that currency be ren dered certain of unhesitating and universal ac ceptance amongst the people and inhabitants of Great Britain ? On the first point the Times itself may be the judge. It has laid it down, ex cathedra, that "the power of creating money is an undisputed prerogative of the Crown." Any others who obtain so great a privilege can only do so as the delegates of the Crown and on certain conditions previously arranged. The Bank of England has obtained that right for a time, and has largely profited thereby, and if the National Exchequer can supply, not only as good, but a far better article, there can be no reason why the people should not keep the profits, estimated by the Times at a million sterling per annum, for their own use. Now, what is the security given by the Bank of Englam; for the redemption of by far the larger portion of its issue Simply a charge on the nation itself, the pos session of a certain amount of the public debt. That debt may be practically " inconvert ible." Under circumstances of peculiar pressure it may not find purchasers, save at such a depre ciation as would leave the " Old Lady " literally bankrupt. But that could not be the case with a national note, based not merely on all the rea lised property of the country, but on the industry of its active and energetic citizens ! Surely there can be no comparison between the two. One may, the other must be sufficient for every legiti mate purpose. We have thus reached an important stage in the argument. We have seen that the privilege belongs to the Crown, i. e., to the nation, and that the national note would be even better than that of the Bank of England. We then repeat the interrogatory put forward by the Times in April, 1854 :—" Why Government should make a present to any corpor alien of the profits derived from the issue of twenty or thirty millions of paper money, when it would be just as easy to appropriate the sum thus created to its own use, and thus cancel by a stroke of the pen some thing like a million a year from the charge of the National Debt 1' LONDON, NVEDNESDA.Y, NOVEMBER 14, 1855. It should be continually impressed on the pub lic mind that tho Bank Charter Act of 1844, the terrible cause of so much national embarrassment, only exists on sufferance, and that it may be ter minated at twelve months' notice, given any time subsequently to the Ist of August, 1855. The remedy rests in the hands of the people, and if the Currency Reformers be only true to themselves and to the best interests of the country—if they maintain a vigorous and energetic agitation on the all-important topic, keeping it prominently before the community, the greatest nuisance that ever afflicted a nation will speedily be abated, and the circulating medium--" the life-blood of industry'' —be placed in a sound, and healthy con dition. Not at one time flushing with railway speed, producing and fostering undue speculation and bubble schemes, at another creeping slug and scarcely sustaining a mere gishly along, vitality. Something between fever and atrophy is required. But that cannot he obtained under the existing law, which renders inevitable the alterna tions of plenty and want. Similar to the condition cif savages, who are either gormandising or starv ng, indulging in b r utal repletion, or en., (luring the most stringent privations. It is surely time that we should resort to a more enlightened system, one more in accordance with the advanced intelligence of the age, and better calculated to provide for all the reasonable exigencies of the commercial, manufacturing, and working population of the country—the bees in the national hive. Her MAJESTY'S ship Resolute has been picked up in Davis' Straits, of the Atlantic. This was the ship that Sir EDWARD BELCHER insisted that Captain KELLETT should desert, and Captain KELLETT, it should be said to his credit, has en tered his protest before a Parliamentary Commit tee against so wanton an act. The drifting of the Resolute is the most extraordinary instance of drifting on record. Loosened by nature from its icy prison in the pack ice off Cockburn Island, the island next akin to Melville Island, the land on which the cache, called Parry Sandstone, the Post office of the North Pole exists, the Resolute makes its own way into Davis' Straits. By what Pas sage ? This must ever remain a mystery. The most likely route is that of Barrow Strait, but Sir E. PARRY has placed it on record, and it remains uncontradicted, that there is no current in that strait. Has the Resolute, then, drifted into the Atlantic through Jones Sound or Smith Sound ? Has it passed through that magnificent sea of 3,000 square miles, just discovered by Dr. KANE, the American ? What an interesting tale the Resolute could tell us if a single human being had been on board. And while we are on the subject of Dr. KANE, we may mention that Sir EDWARD BELCHER not only deserted the Resolute and four other of her MAJESTY'S ships, but he put a positive veto on the offer of Dr. MCCORMICK to make the survey which Dr. KANE has just made. Just as Captain Austen put a positive veto upon the proposition of the enterprising Capt. PENNY to ascend Wellington Channel, who would thus have anticipated Dr. KANE in that direction. It was from the Parry Sandstone help was sent to the discoverer of the North-West Passage, he himself having given up all hope, not only of re ward for his great discovery, but of his own natural existence. It was from this well-known cache —aye, and from this very ship, that Lieut. BEDFORD PIM sallied forth on his arduous journey, unparalleled in arctic travelling, at the low tem perature it was undertaken, and thus saved the gallant discoverer of the North-West Passage from the death that a/rafted him. The late Admiral Sir GEORGE COCKBURN was not far wrong when he side , to his will th e memo randum placedndum sideofby his l 8 years experience as a Lord of the Admiralty, that constituted as the Board is it would never purposeservethemenew fu ofe feature rearises great nav to power. Day day so y after confirm this opinion. The recovery of th e Resolute is but another Res p o 1 routeo f is ofth.eAdfimrsit ralty inefficiency, recovery of the five ships d EDWARD BELCHER. It will not be thbey Sir last. Her consort, the Intrepid, was so whenclose be she was dese r t e d, th a t s h e ma y very shortly ex pected in her wake. and rendered utterly useless. If in anything we might have been supposed likely to surpass our ally it would have been in shipbuilding and iron works of any kind. How is it we had not more such batteries at Sweaborg than the French at Kin bourn? Is it, as Field-Marshal H.R.H. Prince ALBERT would have it, the fault of constitutional government ? Had he a carte blanche as Impera tor, should we see differences so the reverse of all expectation between England and France ? The other day a letter in the Pays told us of an American who had gone straight to St. Peters burg with a new cannon, which is to carry an unheard-of distance, and no doubt to annihilate our three-deckers at long range. Straightway he is taken to the EMPEROR himself, the foundry placed at his disposal, and a model sent to the distant Ural, to have a cast of it made. Only fancy an inventor being introduced at once to her MAJESTY, or even to Field-Marshal H.R.H. Prince ALBERT ! Or suppose him even courteously received at Downing-street by my Lord PANMIIRE. We read also of horrible new rockets, which are to burn our ships at fabulous distances, of muskets that will almost need a telescope to take aim with, and of infernal machines which are to accomplish what last year failed in. Inventors and inventions are rife in Russia—and by Russian policy, as by French policy, they are encouraged. An inven tor is sent for, in these countries without consti tutions, by Royalty. That is something to most men. It might be worth while, now our consti tution is on its trial, to try whether the Royal branch of it might not be worked with greater efficiency to encourage inventors in England. Her MAJESTY could at least depute her Field- Marshal and Royal Consort to represent her in these matters. It is truly mortifying to think howmatters stand in this country of mechanical skill and invention. No doubt an inhabitant of the great Slave Re public naturally prefers Russia to the land of the free, still JONATHAN would stop at London on the road to St. Petersburg if he thought it would pay better. Dollars are everything with him ; for them alone is he content to buy and sell bodies and souls of men. No ;he knows that Russia is the best market for him. Weeks and months of official snubbing he must endure in England ere he could get a fair hearing ; and he is too 'cute, as well as proud and vindictive, to stand that. Why, here is Lord DUNDONALD with his invention—its efficiency attested by the safest judges, naval, scientific, and engineering. If the man would turn traitor and take it to the CZAR it would be in operation next summer against u; and he would be made a Prince of Holy Russia. Liverpool, and perhaps London itself, might soon show hOWALEXANDER or CONSTANTINE had learned their lesson from our sparing Odessa. Lord DUN DONALD'S experiment would cost perhaps half a million. More than four times that sum was spent this year in sending superfluous ships to the Baltic. A trial of Lord DUNDONALD'S plan would have cost far less than that of Sir C. WOOD'S has done. It could not have effected less. We have recently had some valuable admissions from the bullionist organ, which should not be lost sight of in the discussions that must speedily ensue. The Times has virtually confessed that bullion is only required for our foreign trade, but that for all domestic purposes a paper currency— cc worthless rags," as they were once accustomed to s tyle it, " for which the butcher would not ,:vo his meat or the baker his loaf "—would be amply sufficient. " Supposing," said the Times, ill its City Article of the 26th ultimo—" Sup posing this circulation to be requ i red solely for internal com merce, no ne cess i ty could exist for gold being h e ld against any portion of it ! A d e posit of Government Stock, o r the fa c t of its bei ng rece ivable for duties, would at all ti mes The ground is th us keep it fro m fl uc tuations in manifest that value." materially cleared, and it is all the perturbations of our domestic trade are occasioned solely by the desire to avoid a very trifling difficulty to those e nga ged in the foreign trade of the country. It might easily be demon strated that the trade in gold could be carried on as easily as in other articles of foreign production, and that an ample supply for every demand could b e maintained. The notion that we could not carry on a foreign trade without being compelled to deal in gold at an alarming sacrifice, is of the chim 1 21.ca_ ch aracter, and one that only re. Much as the inexorable necessity for the pre sent War may be deplored, and great as are the evils immediately resulting from it, the fault will be our own if to the mad ambition of our adver sary we have not hereafter to ascribe an awaken ing to our own interests and a discharge of imperial obligations which have added mate rially to the welfare and stability of the empire, and been productive of incalculable blessings to untold millions of our fellow-creatures. Our colonial dominion, as every one knows, embrace a great number of territories scattered over the face of the globe, some of them of amaz- ng fertility, and next to inexhaustible resources, and all of them, as every one should know, capa ble of being made subsidiary to our greatness and wellbeing to an extent which as yet has been, comparatively speaking, unapproached. Look at India, for example. Set aside as mere delusion the romantic stories that at one time abounded of the barbaric splendours, suggestive of boundless wealth, to be witnessed there, and come to facts. Inquire into its capabilities, and, fresh from the perusal of a mass of indisputable testimony to its multitudinous resources, take into consideration how far we have availed ourselves of them. There may be had nearly everything we import from foreigncoun tries essential to our prosperity, and the supply of which is necessarily stopped to a greater or less extent by hostilities, and yet we suffer our selves to be dependent for these articlesof daily need on the caprice of mobs or of despots. We are at war with Russia, and the cry instantly is, What is to become of our supply of hemp, tallow, dr.c. ? An ambitious President, eager to be re-elected, puts himself into a warlike attitude and talks big to our Minister at Washington, and the cry goes forth, What is to become of our supply of cotton ? An adventurer rises against the Impe rial Tartar of China, and the deepest anxiety is expressed with regard to our supply of tea. Some harvest turns out deficient ; corn does not come in well from the Danube ; there is nothing for us but enormous supplies from America —which pos sibly can't send them—or starvation. Some beneficent scheme is in contemplation which calls for a large amount of iron, and it must be thrown aside because of the high price of that metal. Yet all this while, instead of being victims of circumstances, our necessities and anxieties are the consequences of our own neglect. An im mense colony and more than a hundred millions of suffering people have long been waiting our counsel and the employment of our capital to en able them to make us independent of foreign sup ply, and relieve our enterprise from the burden of local pressure. All the hemp we need, and of the stoutest fibre we can require, is to be had in India. All the cotton our manufacturers can consume, and all the silk also, are to be had there. Tea of a quality and in an abundance China never succeeded in producing ; rice that might feed our entire population ; iron that might serve to make the island bombproof, all are to be had in the regions of India, if we go the right way about it. Our Government must beware lest friend and foe alike distan t e us in the mechanical inventions of war. We have just had to record the great success of the Frelch floating batteries at Kin bourn ; they fully answered their purpose ; they carried metal heavy eLough to render them real breaching batteries, awl the solid as well as hollow shot rattled off the massive iron shell which protected the gunners as the musket balls from the cuirasses of the EMPEROR'S cavalry at Waterloo. They appear to have been " a great suc cess." Respecting our own batt er i es, of like con struction, we have heard no more. What is become of til:M we Lardly kovr, ;CVO that one was burnt We would by no means have it inferred that nothin g er o a s u r b e e e e s n o d f o l n n e d a o . w aor On s t h t e h c e n development has been effected of late years, but in no propor tion to what remains to be done. Railway commu nication is merely in its infancy, and the great rivers, those natural highways, aro more or less un navigable, while not only are there immense areas uncultivated, and mineral riches:untouched, but the knowledge required for successful cultivation, and the means to render the mineral riches avail able, are to a great extent wanting. If we would reap the benefits which India is capable of be stowing upon us we must cultivate the soil and sow the required seed. Among other things agents should be despat c h e d t o the cot ton and districts, to instru c t th e nat i ve po pulation in em the growth and preparati on o f cotton and Europeanand hemp hp for our markets ; and, at the same time, every encouragement should be given by Go vernment to European enterprise, whether directed to the extension of internal communication or to the more direct development cf the various resources -of the colopy. India may become the • 5 .,-L got THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 14, 1855 gem of our colonial empire, the very salvation, in• deed, of the country, if we embrace the oppor. tunity still left us to do it justice.

The most brilliant panoramic view of the Town and Harbour cf Sebastopol yet published, is the noble coloured lithograph here presented to the English multi tude, as another of the " authentic series," issued perio dically from the press by the Messrs. Colnaghi. It por trays in one ample view the whole of that now memor able and historic scene, from Fort Alexander, on one side, to Cemetery Fort, on the opposite extremity. It represents Sebastopol as it was—before the siege. Not as it is now—a heap of blood -stained ruins. It was taken originally in those quieter times before the cannonading had commenced, before the war, in fact, had been well dreamt of —pencilled calmly on the Watch Tower in the centre of the city by Carlo Bossoli. The spectacle rolled out be fore us on this ample scroll is that, indeed, of a noble city, wonderful in very many particulars—wonderful in its general beauty, in the picturesqueness of its situation, in the splendour and magnitude of its fortifications. Wonderful, too, by reason of its orderly arrangement, its extraordinary cleanliness, and here and there for the palatial magnificence of its architectural decorations. The red-tiled roofs, the fresh green trees, the blue waters of the various inlets of the Euxine, the yellowish tint of the stone buildings, the tracery of broad and nu merous streets, all sparkling and bright in the Crimean sunshine —are among the number of the objects lending their united charms to this beautiful coloured lithograph of the Town and Harbour of Sebas topol. It is altogether impossible to view the picture without peculiar interest, or to muse over it without ex periencing emotions of a very profound and solemn cha racter. For—since the original drawing was first pen cilled, the drawing from which this lithograph has been taken—what events have not transpired there in that famous city, that city beleaguered for a whole year by the united armies of France and England ! What lives have not been lavished in its defence and its assault ! What agonies endured by besieged and besiegers ! What hopes and fears have not been experienced since then within its precincts ! Added to all which, the thought that the place virtually no longer exists; being nowadays a blackened mass of charred timber aad shattered ma sonry, instead of—as it was then —one of the most splen did and formidable seaports in the world. See transit gloria mundi—" so the world wags !" Prince Menschi koff and Admiral Nachimoff, the Russian fleet, and for the most part, too, the Russian army, in like manner have all passed away during the dread interval. Sinope is no longer unavenged. The war-vessels of the Muscovite navy in the Black Sea are all either burnt or sunk—maritime force, for that matter, the Czar has now no longer. Be sides which, he has had reft from him not only his impe rial navy in those waters, but with it also the huge for tified seaport of Sebastopol—until now the great stand ing menace of Christendom. Altogether, therefore, it is by no means with emotions of grief, or even of awe alone, that we cast our eyes upon this superb panoramic sketch of the terrible advanced post of Russia on its road to Constantinople—as it appeared, at least once upon a time, in the days when Sebastopol was really in existence--on the contrary, the feelings predominant in our heart, as we gaze, are those, rather, of reverent gra titude and earnest exultation. PEREKOP TO ODESSA. A new military map under this title has just been published by Mr. James \Vyld, geographer to the Queen. The map embraces the countries between Odessa and Perekop, with the various routes and the stations of the Russian forces, the marks indicative of which are coloured so as at once to attract the eye and be taken in as a comprehensive whole. The map stretches even further on either hand than the above places, extending from the Dniester river in the north to the Putrid Sea in the south, and from Nicolaieff to the Black Sea beyond the Tendra Peninsula. The value of the map is increased by the statistical information which accompanies it, the number and strength and localities of the Odessa batte ries, the distribution of the Russian army in Southern Russia, &c., being given. It is still further increased by its timely appearance, now that Southern Russia is the point of general attraction, and will meet with a corresponding welcome. • A letter from Constantinople, of the Ist inst. says : " It continues to be affirmed here that next spring an Anilo-French army will occupy the Principalities. lhe Constitutionnel publishes a letter from Yenikale of the 18th ult., announcing the landing of the Anglo- Turkish Contingent, which, owing to its heterogeneous composition and undisciplined state, is not considered a very valuable acquisition by the writer. General Vivian had not yet arrived, but was daily expected. The Gazette of the Two Sicilies officially announces the appointment of M. Mazza, late Director of Police at Naples, as a member of the Consulta for the continental provinces of the kingdom. M. Mazza is, moreover, to retain the rank and salary of director. The Egyptian Prince, Ismael Pacha, leaves Paris to day on his return to Alexandria. His Highness's younger brother, Mustapha Bey, left the French capital some weeks ago, and has arrived safely at Cairo, where he has been well received by his Sovereign. His Highness Ismael Pacha is building a magnificent palace at Cairo. According to the Fremden Blatt, a German physician, w h o has just quitted the Russian service, relates that the soldiers are well provided for, "but are completely discouraged and depressed." When the b a d weat h er sets in it will be extremely difficult to procure supplies, "and in the spring the Allies will hardly find any great difficulty in forcing the , Russians from some of the posi tions they now occupy- The last number of the ugsburg Gazette has a letter of the 3d November from the Polish frontiers, in which it is said that the news of another conscription " has caused indescribable anxiety and consternation in every family." According to the Weiner Zeitung the Archduke Ferdi nand Maximilian was trying a new horse in the shafts when he met with the accident. It is stated that the Prince struck his head against a wall as he fell. A letter from Varna of the 29th ult., in the Journal de Francfort, says, " The Police Legion, in course of formation here, will probably be employed in the Crimea. Young Prince Czartorytki,• who is actively employed in the work, left the day before yesterday for General Pelissier's head-quarters at Kamiesh." Lieut.-Col. Lord Charles Fitzroy, of the Coldstream Guards, who is staying with the Duke and Duchess of Grafton at Euston Hall, Suffolk, having just returned from serving with his regiment before Sebastopol, is, we are sorry to hear, still in very indifferent health. HANOVER.—The Hanover Gazette, of the 3d, an nounces the convocation of the electoral colleges. Ac cording to the constitution of 1840, the definitive elec tions must be concluded within six weeks after the pub lication of the royal ordinance. The constitutional party rely on presenting itself en masse at the elections, and they think they shall obtain an imposing minority in the Second Chamber. The period for the States General to meet is not yet fixed. The Post Ampt Gazette contains the following letter from Varna of the 30th October :—" Several vessels have arrived here, in the course of the last few days, to embark the troops which have arrived either from Con. sfantinople or from the interior of the country. The despatch of troops, which had been discontinued for a time, has been resumed. They aro all sent to Asia, where not so many troops have been despatched as it is imagined, and Omer Pacha is constantly asking for reinforcements. He has the intention of doing all in his power to assist the heroic garrison of Kars." THE LATE MAJOR•GENERAL TORRENS.—A. committee is now in progress of formation from among the nume roes and attached friends of the late Major-General Sir Arthur Wellesley Torrens, K.C.8., for the purpose of erecting a monument to his memory in Pere la Chaise. THE SOUND DUES. —The Post Ampt Gazette of Frank fort says—" All the powers invited to take part in the approaching conferences on the subject of the Sound dues have now accepted the invitation. France and England will be there represented, and it is certain that the United States of America will also send a plenipo tentiary." GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION.—LIVERPOOL, Tuesday.— The following notice was to-day posted in the under writers' room :—" The Government emigration to Aus tralia will, it is feared, have to be given up in Liverpool, from shipowners not tendering their vessels from this port.—Nov. 12." DUES UNDER TREATIES OP RECIPROCITY.—It appears from an official document that the dues under treaties of reciprocity have greatly increased in consequence of the increased trade. Last year the dues were 30,3781. and this year 68,5001. was required, being 38,1221. in addi tion. THE FATAL EXPLOSION IN WHITECHAPEL.— John Black, the stoker in charge of the boiler furnaces at the time of the explosion at Messrs. Hall and Boyd's re finery, died lest night, making the fourth death resulting from the accident. Two other men are in a precarious state. BENEVOLENCE OF Una MAJESTY. —It having been brought to the knowledge of her Majesty that the funds for building a charity school in the parish of the Holy Trinity, Windsor, were insufficient to cover the expenses of its completion, the Queen was graciously pleased to dispense with the services of her private band at the Castle, in order that they should give a concert at the Town Hall, Windsor, for the benefit of this valuable institution. The concert took place on Monday even ing, when, in addition to the gentlemen of her Majesty's private band, the choir of the Chapel Royal of St. George, under the direction of Dr. Elvey, also gave their valuable and gratuitous services. The hall was respect. ably filled, although not in proportion to the great at traction of the performance, which circumstance can only be attributed to the avoidance of the usual course of making the affair more generally known through the medium of the press, under the mistaken notion •f avoiding expenses, DRIJRY-LANE. The most accomplished actor of the day—our incom parable Charles Mathews—still remains the bright par ticular star of Old Drury, the pre-eminent attraction among all the many and remarkable attractions collected together by the enterprise of Mr. E. T. Smith within the ample scope of his great popular establishment. Nitocris continues to be, of course, the gorgeous close of almost every successive evening's entertainment. Satur day night, indeed, is the sole weekly exception—but then on Saturdays eomes the finest farce ever written, the monstrously laughable and exquisitely ridiculous Critic of Sheridan. Charles Mathews being at once a glorious Puff and an inimitable Sir Fretful Plagiary. Besides which, "A New Drama, in Five Acts," is under lined upon the Playbills as in active preparation. An announcement appearing also through the same channel to the effect that " A new Play" is shortly to be forth coming from the pen of J. W. Robson, Esq., author of " Love and Loyalty." So that in Mr. Smith's hands the management continues to be as active as ever, no effort apparently being spared to render the entertain ments as varied and novel as possible. Meanwhile there continues to be repeated on four or five nights out of every half-dozen the serio-comic drama, in two acts— taken from the French, of course—called, in its original shape, Monsieur qui suive lee Femmes, and in its present form, quite as significantly, An Impudent Puppy, Glori ous Charles Mathews as the impudent puppy in question, one Mr. Nestor Nimble, being "fooled to the top of his bent" by the other characters, and then fooling them in turn to the top of theirs, so that his share in the plot is at length conducted to a very satisfactory conclusion. The materials out of which the plot is constructed are the flimsiest imaginable, but that the hero of the piece is Charles Mathews, and Charles Mathews, we all know, and have known for years past, can make any thing go down under the influence of his contagious good humour, aided by his inexhaustible volatility, sparkle, and animation. Flitting hither and thither about the stage through all the mazes of the comedy, arising from the vices and eccentricities of such men and women as the Hon. Paul Paragon, M.P., and the Lady Olivia, as horrid Mr. and Mrs. Dobbs, as abominable Major Firebrace, and preposterous Sir Felix Faddle— Nestor Nimble is, from the beginning to the end, the life and soul of the two acts, from his chance meeting with his sister Maria in the parks, to his final betrothal to his first love Emma in the drawing room—the park and the drawing-room being the scenes to which the action of the drama is altogether restricted. Still m ore laughable, if possible, than this Nestor Nimble, is the Charles Beeswing of Mr. Mathews, in the extravagantly comic interlude of Twenty Minutes with a Tiger, wherein Mr. A. Younge makes up absurdly enough as " the Beast " of the occasion—Mr. Chili Cbutnee, a genuine Bengal Tiger, a rampagious, tearing, raving, raging, cata maran— the terror of everybody, including his servants Jacob and Dolly—the terror of every one at least, except ing his daughter Arabella, to whom the brute in the tiger skin dressing-gown and red-tasselled nightcap is the ten derest and gentlest of doating old governors. The cool ness of Charles Mathews, as Beeswing, in dealing with this same ;inflammable specimen of Cayenne pepper-and-curry-powder-eating old firework of a Nabob is a thing to be seen—and yet hardly to be seen either —for the laughing ! Better than in such ephemeral parts as these, however, the London public like to see their old favourite in charac ters in which he is not only delightful, but in which he is altogether incomparable. To put Charles Mathews i❑ indifferent parts, such as Nimble and Beeswing, is to treat most unworthily the most finished artiste on the English stage. Let us hope to see him henceforth only in parts really worthy of his delicious ease and match less assurance. HAYMARKET. There is now being nightly enacted at the little theatre in the Haymarket one of those exquisite bijoux of dra matic composition and histrionic performance which seem to us the very perfection of nature and art com bined. Last evening was the twenty-ninth time of its representation. It is a sort of drawing-room vaudeville or comedietta in two acts, written by A. Harris, Esq., a name to us as that of a total stranger, and is entitled The Little Treasure. Gertrude—" the little treasure " from whom the piece derives its title—being the sweetest girl-like character imaginable, enacted in a manner the most charming, delightful, captivating, bewitching—by Miss Blanche Pane, a youthful debutante hitherto un known to London playgoers, but henceforth to be re- garded by them as one of the moat fascinating actresses of our age. Those who have not themselves witnessed The Little Treasure, as performed by the Haymarket Company, cannot possibly form any adequate conjecture as to the finished excellence of its nightly representation. The whole thing is something quite refreshing, and appears to us in every detail almost faultless throughout. Every one who has seen it will recognise, in tliese earnest woris of ours, not one particle of exagge- ration. The piece, in every particular, reflects the highest credit, in the first place, upon the author him self, and afterwards upon each of the actors indivi dually —not forgetting the distinguished merit due like wise in an especial manner to the whole stage manage ment. We do not think it would be in any way extra vagant to assert that the entire production, as placed upon the boards of Mr. Buckstone's theatre, could not be better performed by the most accomplished company of French comedians, selected from the most exquisitely appointed of the great Parisian establishments. Not a single one out of the little group of the dramatis personce, but fits the artiste to whom the part has been allotted to a T—to a tittle—to a hair's breadth. The ex- cesiively acidulated and exceedingly shrewish Mrs. Meddleton decidedly a woman of the strong minded genus —as portrayed by Mrs. Poynter, is a bit of home-life that would hardly have been surpassed in her best days by the late Mrs. W. Clifford. Lady Howard, quiet, subdued, and lady like throughout, is precisely what the character ought to be, and does honour to the tasteful discrimination in such matters of Miss Swanborough. And so with the male-characters one and all—they are acted with a finished ease that would be the despair of most other establishments. The Sir Charles Howard of Mr. Howe _ . ___ ..... is worthy of that old Haymarket favourite—replete as the part is, in his hands, with gentlemanly feeling, pathos, and dignity. Never before have we seen Mr. W. Far ren to such advantage as in the garb and situations Cap tain Walter Maydenblush. To those who are acquainted with this actor merely as he has appeared to them for the most part hitherto namely, as the stiffest and tamest of walking gentlemen, made up, for that matter, almost entirely of rouge, boot-leather, and tailoring—would doubtless be puzzled, if not filled with genuine amazement, as we here acknowledge ourselves to have been, on witnessing the consummate histrionic ability displayed by our youthful and (as we now regard him) very promising artiste, Mr. W. Farren, in every look, and phrase, and movement of his Captain Walter Maydenblush. His byeplay, his self-possession, his gen tlemanly bearing throughout, are all capital. Let him advance from this point, and his presence upon the me tropolitan boards will be regarded by those who have hitherto only viewed it with indifference as a positive and notable acquisition. As to Miss Blanche Fane—" Ger trude Howard"—Tlie Little Treasure—what shall we say, or rather what shall wa not say, as expressive of our sincere and unaffected admiration ? Her charming, innocent, child-like face, her blue eyes, and her golden hair, and her girlish figure, all are passports to the popu lar heart. But the exquisite naturalness of her acting from first to last is more—it is that " touch of nature which, as the Master. Dramatist has said, " makes the whole world kin." It is something delicious, something delightful, something (we are glad to think) not very easily to be forgotten. Turning out of the roaring, muddy, crowded streets of London into the little theatre in the Haymarket, and witnessing The Little Treasure, as she is there re p resen t e d b y Mi ss B lanche F ane —it i s (how shall we put it ?) like gathering a dewy primrose budding up from the most unexpected place in the world, say from some odd chink among the miry flagstones of Cheapside. That we are not at this moment talking at random, let those pronounce who have already, them selves, enjoyed the treat of witnessing the representa tion, by th e H aymar k e t com pany, of this charming two act comedy of The Little Treasure—led off by Blanche Fane as the girl-heroine. By her exquisite portraiture of the sweet, and beautiful, and maidenly character of Gertrude she is winning for herself the hearts of the whole town, as is evidenced night after night by the earnest and reiterated enthusiasm of her reception. THE CROPS IN JAMAlCA.—Governor Barkly, in his speech at the opening of the legislature, says :—" The heavy rains which prevailed throughout the greater part offthe crop season forbid our anticipating a continuous increase in the staple exports reported last year ; but I do not think that when the returns from the outports to the 10th inst. will come in any serious deficiency will be shown. It is gratifying to reflect that the recent ad vance in the value of sugar, conjoined with the main tenance of high quotations for other descriptions of tropical produce in the markets of Great Britain and the United States, will render the results far more re munerative to producers than they have lt,tely continued to hope for." LATE ST NEWS. MARSEILLES, 13nr. The Gange has just arrived with accounts from Constantinople to the sth. From Sebastopol we learn that extensive and extraordinary vaults have been discovered under Fort Nicholas, but great secrecy is observed as to their contents. The fire of the northern batteries has increased. Deserters say that before final retreat Gorts chakoff, as a last resource, will try a desperate attack, and that numerous flying bridges, to cross trenches, &c., are in busy preparation. Omer Pacha has marched from Suchum Kale, and is now encamped thirty leagues inland ; where he has made preparations for wintering to take the field in early spring. From Constantinople we learn that owing to a misunderstanding of a password a Turkish sen tinel fired on a Tunisian soldier. The result was a sanguinary conflict between the troops of the Padishah and his turbulent tributaries. The first Anglo-German regiments have ar rived. They have experienced exceedingly rough weather, and suffered severely. They have lost the close of the market. The following are the last quotations : _ Cash. fr. e.

REVEL ROADS, Nov. 6.—The appearance of the country around this has in one night been sub jected to a perfect transformation, and from' ts autumnal hue has assumed the garb of winter, and a thick coating of snow covers the island of Nar gen and the opposite shores of Revel, presenting a scene similar to that witnessed by some of us in the Arctic regions. Our blue jackets have been engaged in the novel and exciting task of clearing the deck of its coating of snow, the fall of which having for a time rendered all exercise aloft out of the question. Tlie air is very cold, and heavy falls of snoir have continued during the day. We may, in consequence, expect a speedy termination to our cruise, as it would be madness to incur such risk as we now are exposed to, without any adequate advantage to be derived from it. If we deem it expedient to withdraw from these waters, it is evident the more timid navigators of the enemy's vessels will not venture out of their winter quarters ; and even if such a step were attempted, our flying squadron, consisting of some of the finest screw frigates in the world, would at any time be a match for, if not superior to, any force the enemy may have disposable at this season of the year. The Exmouth, Colossus, James Watt, and Vol cano have left for the hospitable and snug harbour of Kiel. The Duke of Wellington, Orion, and Majestic follow after the departure of this mail, which the , Vulture carries to Dantzic. The Retribution, Esk, and Firefly have joined from the Gulf of Bothnia, and the Dragon and Tar tar are daily expected. The Magicienne, Geyser, Driver, Locust, and Centaur are still here, as are also the French liners Tourville and Duquesne. SARDINIA. TURIN, Nov. 8. By letters from the Sardinian camp of the 28th ult. we learn that the Himalaya had arrived at Balaklava with 1,200 men of the Contingent, in six days and a half from Genoa. The health of the troops on board bad been excellent. Some cases of cholera had, however, appeared among those re cently landed from the Varo. It Yenekoi, en the Bosphorus, the cholera had broken out with much virulence, there being as many as 40 cases a day, and nearly all fatal. The extraordinary part of this attack was, that it was confined t o th e G ree k population and spared the Turks and European sol diers, but it was thought advisable not to send the Sardinian convalescents to the hospital there. In the valley of Baidar a heavy cannonade had been heard for two days. The Sardinians had re ceived orders to suspend all reconnaissances because an attack was anticipated in the valley of Inker man. The decorations, &c., from their own Go. vernment for the affair of the 16th of August had arrived, and the General commanding the expe dition has issued the following General Order in consequence :-- "It is with the greatest satisfaction that the General ic-Chief announces to the expeditionary corps that, hardly had his Ilajesty recovered from his late malady, when he deigned to award recompences to those soldiers who had most distinguished themselves in the Battle of the Tchernaya on the 16th August last. His Majesty has expressed himself fully satisfied with the manner in which this corps conducted itself at the said battle, and was pleased to determine that the officers proposed for the silver medal should receive, instead, the insignia of the Military Order of Savoy, now reconstituted with new splendour. Such demonstrations of the Sovereign's condescension must ever be a noble stimulant to prove more worthy of it, and must make this corps desire still more to deserve well of the King and the country every time that circumstances present an occasion." SWEDEN. " The news from Stockholm," says the Pays, " speak of the exceedingly warm reception given. to General Canrobert in that city. The attitude of the Swedish nation seems more and more decided. in favour of the Western alliance, but the Oeresund Poston goes somewhat too far when it announces that the alliance is absolutely concluded, and that in consequence the Swedish Government is about to convoke an extraordinary diet for February next. The length of the session, it says, will be three weeks only, and immediately after its termi• nation war will be declared against Russia.'.' a major, and several officers. Three more regiments of Turkish Cossacks are to be formed in Asia. Persia has been applied to by the Allies to allow a passage through her territories for an Anglo-Indian army, to co-operate in Asiatic Turkey. From Malta, we learn that the Albion, Lon. don, Rodney, and Wasp, are there, on their re. turn to England, from the Black Sea. BERLIN, Not. 12. Count Tolstoi has continued conferences with noblemen in high position hero. The opinion is that his visit is not, as repre sented, divested of political purpose, and that he is on a mission from the Czar. The late interviews of the Bavarian and Saxon Ministers with the Emperor of the French are producing their effects. Austria is reported to have resumed her inten tion of bringing the Eastern question before the Frankfort Diet. She considers herself to be now certain of the support of some of the more important German States of the second class. MADRID, Noy. 12. The Government has announced in the Cortes that disturbances had broken out at Saragossa caused by the exportation of corn. Marshal Espartero has declared that he will firmly main tain public order. The Cortes continues the dis cussion of the Constitution. KINBOURN. A letter from Kinbourn of the 22d, in the Moniteur de la Flotie, says : "We continue exploring the environs of this place, and making reconnaissances in the direction of the mouths of the Dnieper and the Bong. The other morn ing we saw a boat leave the vessel commanding the harbour, and proceed with a flag of truce towards Otchakoff. It bore the reply to a missive from the Russians inquiring into the state of the prisoners made at Kinbourn. Toe reply was that the 45 wounded Russians were taken good care of, and that the French General regretted not to be able to send the names of the Russian officers who were still in the fort.' You are aware that after as during an action it is a very difficult matter to distinguish the Russian officer from the private soldier. When the boat charged with this message arrived near its destination, a Russian officer, followed by two soldiers, came forward to meet it. The usual civilities were exchanged, and the answer having been handed in the boat returned to the ship. The Russians are always burning something or other in the vicinity of Otchakoff ; so that, as one of our sailors ob served, it would not be a lazy occupatio❑ to act as porn,- pier after the armies of the Cz•ir. It almost seems as if the Russians intended completely abandoning the neigh bourhood of Otchakoff. As well as can be seen, the country between that place and Nicolaieff, on both sides of the Boug, is exceedingly fertile —flocks of sheep, fine meadow-land, and villages, dotted about here and there, form a charming picture. THE CRIMEA. A letter from Sebastopol of the 30th ult., in the Semaphore of Marseilles, says : " There is now only one regiment left to occupy this place, and all the duty of the place falls on its back, but all this additional work only increases the gaiety of the soldiers. The regiment is encamped in the gorge of the flagstaff battery, where the men are somewhat sheltered from the fire of the northern forts ; the officers take up their quarters in any of the houses near which may suit their fancy. The Russians are bristling the heights on the north side with batteries. Yesterday I was on guard at Fort Nicholas, just opposite Fort Catherine, and I amused myself by looking at what was going on with a spy-glass. A Russian officer was at the same time spying at me, and at last we saluted each other as politely as possible. Other Russian of f icers afterwards came forward, and other salutes were exchanged. I was standing on the top of the tower, and might have formed a good target for them, but no attempt was made to fire. I know not whether the enemy have a supply of provisions for the winter ; if not, they will probably soon make a move towards Perekop, at least a great part of them, for the road by the steppes is impracticable in winter. 16 is, however, to be pre sumed that the greater part of their supplies was in this place, for all the houses are full of sacks of that horrible biscuit bread, which is such stuff that it ought not with any decency be given to pigs. I aria told that a terrible bombardment of Fort Constantine is to take place soo n , i n w hi c h t h e fl oat i ng batteries will take part. I cannot guarantee the authenticity of this report, for Marshal Pelissier is more silent than ever on his intended movements." A letter from Kamiesh, of the 30th October, says : " The Asmodde, steam-frigate, arrived here last night from Kinbourn and Eupatoria, bearing Rear-Admiral Pellion's flag. Admiral Bruat has published an order of the day, dated from the Montebello, in the roadstead of Kinbourn, Oct. 27, in which he nighty eulogises Rear-Admiral Pellion's gallant conduct in the expedi tion to Kinbourn. Captain Maussion de Cande, of the Trident, has just been appointed director of the port of Kamiesh, in place of Captain Suisset, of the Alger, who returns to France. The new director has taken up his r esidence on land, WI the Trident is also to return home." FRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING. We read in the Moniteur :—" According to in formation derived front foreign sources some jour nals have announced the loss of the Colbert steam corvette, said to have taken place in June last in the Japanese Sea. The last accounts which the Minister of Marine received from that vessel were dated the 30th July last, when the Colbert was at Shanghai. In leaving the port of Nangasaki (Japan), on the 21st May last, she grounded on the southern point of the Island of Gotto, but she almost immediately after floated and reached the Port of Shanghai where she repaired all her damage. None o e crew were either lost or in jured. The first detach tof the gendarmerie of the Imperial Guard tha has returned from the Crimea arrived in Paris yesterday. The force, numbering about 300 men , marc h ed along the Bouleyards, dis playing its tattered colours, and was loudly cheered along the route. The men looked much fatigued. They proceeded to the Tuileries, where they were inspe c t e d b y th e E mperor. Collig non , the wretch e d h ac k ney coac h man , who murdered his fare because he was ordered bythepolice t o re tu rn an overc h arge of 2 f r., was yester day sentenced to death.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 3.—The King of the Belgians this day opened the Chambers in person. His Majesty spoke to the following effect : " I receive with gratification continued proofs of the sympathy and the confidence of Foreign Go vern men ts. " My son, in his recent visit to several European nations, has also convinced himself of the high rank which our beloved country holds among the several nations. " The necessity of alleviating the sufferings and supplying the wants of the poorer classes of my sub jects induces me to claim your support for measures to control the high prices which so severely press upon the humbler people. "I have to congratulate you on the high distinc tions earned by the specimens of Belgian art and industry which our countrymen have contributed to the Exposition Universelle, about to close in Paris. " We have commenced the 25th anniversary of our independence. If that independence has pro duced happy results ; if it be respected and viewed with a friendly feeling by all nations, we owe that friendship and sympathy to the moderation and straightforwardness which form the bases of our national character, and to the policy we have hitherto pursued." THE NEW COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF. A telegraphic communication has been received, inti mating the willingness of Sir William Codrington to accept the command-in-chief of the British army in the Crimea, which the increasing delicacy of Sir James Simp son's health had induced that officer to resign. Sir Wil liam, therefore, now holds the command of the army, and was gazetted last night to the local rank of General. The delay in apprising Sir W. Codrington of his appoint ment to the chief command was caused by an accident on the Marseilles railroad, which prevented the messen ger who was carrying the despatches from arriving at Marseilles in time for the steam-boat. A week was thus lost, but during the whole course of the war, with a re gular service of messengers between London and Con stantinople, this is the first interruption that has oc curred. THE RESOLUTE-ARCTIC DISCOVERY ,SHIP. ADMIRALTY, Nov. 13, 1855. The Secretary of the Admiralty begs to acquaint the Editor of The Sun that a telegraphic message has been received from Aberdeen, stating that the American whale-ship, John Henry, fell in with the Resolute, Arctic discovery -ship, off Cape Mercy, Davis' Strait. The master and crew of the American whaler have abandoned their own ship, and taken charge of the Re solute. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Tuesday.—The active demand of tho past week, and the enhanced prices of the raw material still steadily maintained in Liverpool, together with the easier rates for money, all tend to a very fi rm f eeling, which is manifested in this market to-day both for goods and yarns.

HIGH PRICE OP SUGAR . — Saunders' News says :—" It is understood that many families in Dublin, Cork, and Belfast are about to cease using sugar until the present feverish monopoly comes back to a fair and moderate test. A similar mode was adopted in the year 1796 by the friends in both countries of the great Wilberforce, to check the slave trade, and abate its tortures on the naked back, which had a powerful effect. If the inhabitants of towns in Ireland would adopt the same remedy the end would be answered. It is worthy of remark that tea with out sugar is more wholesome, and the celestials in China never put in sweets, but drink the tea in its original purity, '
