METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT ACT. SET LING our WARDS AND APPORTIONING VESTRYMEN. I, Alexander Pulling, of the Inner Temple, Barrister-at-Law, one of the persons appointed under the above act by the Right Hon. Sir George Grey, Bart., (one of her Majesty's principal Secretaries of state) to set out the Wards, and to apportion amongst such Wards the n =bar of vestrymen to be elected. Hereby give notice that I shall attend further to proceed with my duties in reference to the un dermenti med parishes on the several times and the several places hereunder mentioned, when and where the parish officers and other persons interested are requested to attend. tended the second trial on the following day. It may be regretted that so much blood was un necessarily shed after the capture of the Malak hoff. But the Commanders could not have anticipated so speedy an evacuation by the Russians, who had previously so obsti nately contested every inch of ground. There can, therefore, be no complaint of undue precipi tation on the part of those who have so nobly earned the thanks and gratitude of their respec tive countries, and of each other. The particular mention of officers who have greatly distinguished themselves has been neces sarily delayed. On its arrival rewards so richly merited will, doubtless, be distributed—rewards suitable to the magnitude of the success and of the daring efforts by which it was aohieved, and worthy alike of the British nation and of her most deserving children. Fore most amongst the number will be the dis tinguished General. We cannot doubt that a Field -Marshal's baton will be accorded to him who so nobly completed the plans of his gallant pre decessor. Lord RAGLAN was made a Field-Mar shal for the defeat of a formidable attack on his troops on the memorable sth of November. But Sebastopol was not then taken, nor had great progress been made in the siege. Scarcely had the electric wires flashed the glad tidings that Sebastopol was our own, than the brave French General received his well-merited promotion from his Imperial Master. We should, in like manner, signalise the great event by the elevation of the skilful Commander of our troops to the highest military rank a subject can attain. It would be a graceful compliment to every officer and man serving in the Crimea, and cause the most lively gratification to the conquerors of Se bastopol—the destroyers of the overgrown power of Russia. ing Greek. We very much doubt, however, that there would be any difficulty in the way if the expenditure of the above sum was necessary. As for the Act of Parliament, if the scheme be good it could readily be obtained. What we would wish to be satisfied about is, whether a scheme involving so large an amount is necessary. We don't think it is ; and for the scheme in question we have no faith in it. It would not answer, or we are greatly deceived. This, however, by no means excludes hope of other schemes leal expen sive and really effective being forthcoming. Already one has been offered which is deserving of consideration ; and we have no doubt, if pro per oare be taken, others involving a compara tively small expenditure, and securing the object contemplated, will be given in. Let the Lord Mayor take courage ; the letters and addresses lie has received from the most influential inhabi tants of the metropolis by no means represent the entire amount of support on which he may rely. He is engaged in a good work, and he will have, at the 'very least, the good wishes and moral countenance of a great majority of the population. Parish.

St• Idatthew's, Bethnal Green The appointment of a worthy successor. to Mr. Sato; as Medical Officer of Health, is of the last importance to the sanitary welfare of the metropolis, and it is exceedingly desirable that the Commissioners of Sewers should prove them selves equal to the responsibility involved in the selection. The invaluable services and the pro motion of the gentleman by whose resignation the office is now vacant, afford strong assurance that they will do so, and that merit, and not favour, will be the best recommendation to their confidence. Convinced of this, we have learnt with much pleasure that a gentleman in every respect qualified to be Mr. SIMONS' successor has offered himself as a candidate. Those who are acquainted with the services of Dr. GREENECOVI in connection with the public health will at once recognise his singular fitness for the •ffice ; while those who are not have only to consider his claims, supported by the highest testimonials, to arrive at the same conclusion. For the last thir teen years Dr. GREENHOW has been known as one of the most earnest and judicious sanitary refor mers, and during the last six of these in which he has been constantly engaged in sanitary inqui ries, and in devising and superintending the exe cution of arrangements calculated to guard against epidemic disease,, he has proved himself one of the most successful. A Member of the Corporation of Tynemouth, which place had suffered severely from cholera in 1849, the population are mainly indebted to him for the introduction of the Public Health Act, the investiture of the Town Council with the functions and powers of a Local Board ; and it is not too much to say for their remarkable immunity from cholera in the autumn of 1853, when Newcastle and Gates head, a few miles • off, were well nigh deci mated by that frightful pestilence. At that period his active exertions and the wisdom of the precautionary measures suggested by him, and carried out under his personal superintendence, were the theme of general admiration in the north. Armed with the knowledge thus acquired, this successful sanitary reformer came to London, where he was appointed one of the medical in. We cannot conclude without emphatically warning all parties against any renewal of nego tiations, until the Crimea is all our own, and the Muscovite forces fully and completely accounted for. We have seen how the inopportune Con ferences at Vienna paralysed the energies of our troops. While they continued, no decisive attempt was made ; but their breaking up was, like the planting of the tricolor, the signal for efforts that materially conduced to the felicitous results re cently recorded. The brilliant operations in the Sea of Azoff, the capture of the Mamelon, the Cemetery, and the rifle pits, and the pushing on of the trenches, rapidly followed the contumelious rejection by Prince GORTSCHAKOFF of the ridicu- lously lenient terms offered. We have already learned from sad experience that nothing can be hoped for from Russia until her humiliation is complete. Were any ad vance made by the Western Powers, or with their assent by a third party, it would be regarded as a proof of weakness, and she would still per sist in her cherished designs. The aggressive policy of PETER, and CATHERINE, and NICHOLAS kt' would still be followed, and diplomatists would forfeit all the advantages acquired at so fearful a cost of blood and treasure. Negotiations can never be renewed until Russia comes as an bum. . _ ble suppliant for the Peace she so wantonly dis turbed, prepared to make ample compensation for the expenses she has occasioned, and to give " material guarantees" for her future good behaviour. Permanent tranquillity can never be anticipated until her overgrown power has been reduced to suitable dimensions, and her pride and arrogance has been broken. Neither can be the case if negotiations be ro spectors, during the epidemic visitation of 1854, in one of the worst districts, and in July last was deputed by the Board of Health to make inquiries into the nature of the diarrheas prevalent in Bethnal-green and elsewhere in the metropolis, and supposed to be choleraic—his services on these occasions meeting with the marked approba tion of the Board, as well as rendering him fully acquainted with the habits and sanitary condition of the population of the metropolis. Such a suc cessor as this, to whose fitness the late President of the Board of Health, among others, has inti mated his willingness to testify, and whose ap pointment Dr. SUTHERLAND declares " would be a great public benefit," would be worthy of Dr. Simorr, while the appointment would do honour to the Commissioners. opened, save on the urgent and humble applies• tion of Russia. Doubtless every attempt will be made to lead France and England astray in this important matter. Both Governments must, however, carefully avoid the snares that may be spread for their reception. Captain L. A. Cox. Lieutenant L. Blakiston. THE SUN, LONDON. SATURDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 22, 1855. - - They left the trenches at the preconcerted signal, and moved across the ground pzeceded by a covering party of 200 men, and a ladder party of 320. On arriving at the crest of the ditch, and the ladders placed, the men immediately stormed the parapet of the Redan, and penetrated into the salient angle. A most determined and bloody contest was here maintained for nearly an hour, and, although supported to the utmost, and tke greatest bravery displayed, it was found im possible to maintain the position. liOur lordship will perceive, by the long and sad list of casualties, with what gallantry and self-devotion the officers so nobly placed them selves at the head of their men during this san guinary conflict. I feel myself unable to express in adequate terms the sense I entertain of the conduct and gallantry exhibited by the troops, though their devotion was not rewarded by the success which they so well merited, but to no one are my thanks more justly due than to Colonel Windham, who gallantly headed his column of attack, and was fortunate in entering, and remaining with the troops during the contest. The trenches were, subsequently to this attack, so crowded with troops that I was unable to or ganize a second assault, which I intended to make with the Highlanders, under Lieut.-General Colin Campbell, who had hitherto farmed the re serve, to be supported by the third division under Major-General Sir William Eyre. I, therefore, sent for these officers, and arranged with them to renew the attack the following morning. The Highland Brigade occupied the advanced trenches during the night. About 11 o'clock the enemy commenced exploding their magairines, and Sir Colin Campbell, having ordered a small party to advance cautiously to examine the Redan, found the work abandoned ; be did not ) however, deem it necessary to occupy it until daylight. The evacuation of the town by the enemy was made manifest during the night. Great fires ap peared in every part, accompanied by large ex plosions, under the cover of which the enemy succeeded in withdrawing their troops to the north side by means of the raft-bridge recently constructed, and which they afterwards discon nected and conveyed to the other side. Their men-of-war were all sunk during the night. The boisterous weather rendered it altogether impossible for the admirals to fulfil their inten tion of bringing the broadsides of the allied fleets to bear upon the Quarantine Batteries ; but an excellent effect was produced by the animated and well-directed fire of their mortar vessels, those of her Majesty being under the direction of Captain Wilcox, of the Odin, and Captain Digby, of the Royal Marine Artillery. It now becomes my pleasing duty, my lord, to place on record the high sense I entertain of the conduct of this army since I have had the honour to command it. The hardships and privations endured by many of the regiments during a long winter campaign are too well known for me to comment upon. They were borne both by officers and men with a patience and unmurmuring en durance worthy of the highest praise, and which gained them the deserved applause aid sympathy of their country. 77TH FOOT.

The prompt, hearty, and efficacious co-opera tion of her Majesty's Navy, commanded by Rear- Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, and ably seconded by Sir Houston Stewart, has contributed most materially to the success of our undertaking ; and here, perhaps, I may be permitted to say, that if it had pleased God that the successful result of this memorable siege should have been reported by my ever-to-be-lamented predecessor in this command, I am sure that it would have been one of his most pleasing duties to express the deep sense which I know he entertained of the invalu able assistance and counsel he received on all occa sions from Sir Edmund Lyons. When at times affairs looked gloomy and success doubtful, he was at hand to cheer and encourage ; and every assist ance that could tend to advance the operations was given with the hearty goodwill which charac terises the British sailor. Nothing has contributed more to the present undertaking than the cordial co-operation which has so happily existed from the first between the two services. SEVERELY WOUNDED. ROYAL SAPPERS AND MINERS.

For some time past he has been suf fering on a bed of sickness, but the eventful hour of the assault would not permit him to remain absent ; he was conveyed on a litter into the trenches to witness the completion of his arduous undertaking. My warmest thanks are due to the officers and soldiers of the Royal Artillery under the command of Major-General Sir R. Dacres, who, during the arduous operations of this protracted siege, have so mainly contributed to its ultimate success.

General SIMPSON tells his interesting story simply, but clearly. There is no attemptlto gain unmerited credit. On the contrary, he ex pressly declares that the devotion of the troops "was not rewarded by the success they so well merited." But the brief narrative of the formid able onslaught sufficiently proves the fearless gal lantry with which they rushed to the attack, and the unbending resolution with which they sus tained a fierce hand-to-hand encounter for so long a period. Nor was it to the strength of the enemy that they yielded. The terrific character of the fire to which the assailants was subjected after they had gained a, footing on the parapet was so deadly that they were obliged to relinquish that which had been so laboriously and meritori- ously acquired. The plans of the attack bad been carefully pre pared, and were known several dms_ - ss - S previously at The Lord MAYOR, it is to be hoped, will nos the War-office, but were not, of ' r etOurse, given to suffer himself to be discouraged by the difficulties the pnblic, lt was arranged that after three he has to contend against in his praiseworthy at days incessant bombardment the assault should tempt to improve the condition of the Thames. be delivered at noon on the Bth instant.

GEN. SIMPSON'S DESPATCH. WAR DEPARTMENT, Snpr. 22. Major the Hon. Leicester Curzon arrived this morning with a despatch from General Simpson to Lord Panmure, of which the following is a copy : BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, SEPT. 9, 1855. My Lord,- I had the honour to apprise your lordship in my despatch of the 14th inst. that the engineer and artillery officers of the Allied Armies had laid before General Pelissier and my self a report recommending that the assault should be given on the Bth inst., after a heavy fire had been kept up for three days. This arrangement I agreed to, and I have to congratulate your lordship on the glorious results of the attack of yesterday, which has ended in the possession of the town, dockyards, and public buildings, and destruction of the last ships of the Russian fleet in the Black Sea. Three steamers alone remain, and the speedy capture or sinking of these must speedily follow. It was arranged that at twelve o'clock in th• day the French columns of assault were to leave their trenches, and take possession of the Mala khoff and adjacent works. After their success had been assured, and they were fairly established, the Redan was to be assaulted by the English ; the Bastion, Central, and euarantine Forts, on the left, were simultaneously to be attacked by the French. At the hour appointed our Allies quitted their trenches, entered and carried the apparently im pregnable defences of the Malakhoff with that im petuous valour which characterises the French attack ; and, having once obtained possession, they were never dislodged. The tricolour planted on the parapet was the signal for our troops to advance. The arrangements for the attack I entrusted to Lieutenant-General Sir William Codrington, who carried out the details in concert with Lieutenant- General Markham. I determined that the Second and Light Divi sions should have the honour of the assault, from the circumstance of their having defended the batteries and approaches against the Redan for so many months, and from the intimate knowledge they possessed of the ground. The fire of our artillery having made as much of a breach as possible in the salient of the Redan, I decided that the columns of assault should be directed against that part, as being less exposed to the heavy flanking fire by which this work is protected. It was arranged. between Sir W. Codrington and Lieut.-General Markham that the assaulting column of 1,000 men should be formed by equal numbers of these two divisions, the column of the Light Division to lead, that of the 2d to follow.l 77TH FOOT.

THE RUSSIAN STORES CAPTURED , PARIS, SATURDAY MORNING, General Pelissier writes from Sebastopol on he 19th inst., at 5 p.m.:— " Out of 4,000 cannon, 50 at least are in bronze. Others were thrown into the harbour at the moment of the retreat, and I shall have ;hem recovered. "We have already removed 200,000 kilo grammes of powder, and more is continually dis- covered. "The number of projectiles will exceed 100,000." A despatch from Admiral Bruat, of the same date, announces that the vessels of the Allies de stroyed in the Sea of Azoff, between the 6th and 11th of September, five fisheries on the coast of Serviank, and 68 in the lakes and rivers of the neigh bouring coast; they burnt 31 storehouses, contain ing nets or provisions, and 98 boats laden with provender and other provisions." The Moniteur gives a positive denial to the rumour spread yesterday, at the Bourse, of an attempt upon the person of the Emperor. WOUNDED OFFICERS IN THE CRIMEA. WAR DEPARTMENT, SEPT. 22. Lord Panmure having, in consequence of nu merous inquiries, asked General Simpson to report upon the condition of the wounded officers, has received by telegraph, dated 20th inst., 8 a.m., a satisfactory account of their progress towards recovery. DANTZIC, FRIDAY, SEPT. 21. The Vulture has arrived. Admiral Dundas was to leave Nargen for Ses. kar on the 17th. The Cornwallis bas gone home. Weather variable. The Gazette de Prusse, the organ of the Russian party at Berlin, publishes the following contradic tion of the report from Vienna announcing the retreat of the Russian army upon Perekop : The Gazette des Postes of Frankfort and the Gazette de r Allemagne du Nord announce that Prince Gortschakoff has received a despatch from Warsaw stating that the Russian corps of Bakshi- Serai has commenced a retrograde movement upon Perekop. We can affirm in the most positive manner that this is a piece of false news. GENERAL BOSQUET'S ADDRESS TO HIS TROOPS. The attack on the Malakhoff, it has already been stated, was directed by General Bosquet. General M'Mahon was the first to lead his division to the breach, having the Zouaves of the Guard for a reserve. General de la Motterouge led the next division, having the Grenadiers and the Vol tigeurs of the Guard as a reserve. This division attacked the curtain which connects the Malakhoff to the Redan. The following is the order ad dressed by General Bosquet to the troops under his command immediately before going into action : " Soldiers of the second corps and of the reserve. On the 7th of June you had the honour to strike proudly the first blow right to the heart of the Russian army. On the 16th of August, on the Tchernaya, you inflicted a most shameful humilia tion upon the enemy's army of relief. To-day it is the coup de grace, the coup morte, that you are about to strike with that firm hand which the enemy knows so well, by carrying his line of de fence at the Malakhoff, while our comrades of the English army and of the First Corps will com mence the assault of the Redan and Central Bastion. " This is a general assault —army against army. It is an immense victory, with which the young eagles of France are this day to be crowned. " Forward, then, enfans ! Malakhoff and Sebastopol for us, and Vive I'Empereur " BOSQUET, Commander of Second Corps. " Head-quarters, Sept. 8." FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. The French journals publish conflicting state ments concerning the retreat of the Russians upon Perekop. Information leads us to conclude that they will make a stand. It should be remembered that, in Berlin, as well as Vienna, the agents of Russia receive orders from St. Petersburg to pro mulgate falsehoods. The news, therefore, which comes from those quarters should be received with a degree of reserve. An Imperial decree opens to the Minister of the Interior an extraordinary credit of 2,867,954 fr. from the estimates of 1855, for the purpose of re imbursing the treasury and the city of Lyons for the advances made by them in 1848 for the na tional workshops. Another decree opens to the Minister of State an extraordinary credit of 110,000 fr. for the expenses of the religious cere mony of the 13th inst. at Notre-Dame. The Egyptian Princes 11ustapha Pacha, and Ismael Pacha arrived at Marseilles the day before yesterday with their suite, composed of eight per sons, in order to meet the Viceroy, whose return to Alexandria was not then known. The following private telegraphic despatch has been received here MARSEILLES, 21st.—The Vesuvio steamer, which left Naples on the 19th, arrived here last evening.
