He received twenty-seven slut- Hags a week. On Monday last the mail from Graves. end reached London in time for the six o'clock de livery. The prisoner was on duty that day, and was engaged sorting that day. The prisoner was yesterday searched at the General Post-office, and the portions of letters produced he saw taken from the pocket of the prisoner. He had searched the pri soner's house this morning, and found the portion of a letter he now produced in the yard. He found the en velope, directed to John Clerk, junior, yesterday. It bore the Gravesend as well as the London post-mark. The let ters which the prisoner was charged with stealing would, in the usual course of business, pass through his hands. After he had searched the prisoner's house he returned to the post-office and told him he had found a great number of letters, and he also told him he knew that he had destroyed two letteas on Tuesday which he ought to have delivered on the previous day. The prisoner did not deny it and said he was very sorry, but he did not like to deliver the letters because he had detained them. OF-LEAVE CONVICT. The police have succeeded in tracing and capturing Peeling, the ticket-of-leave convict, who stands charged with the horrible murder at Cudham. He was brought up from Bristol per the Great Western Railway, and forthwith conveyed to Bromley for examination by the magistrates of the district. The police did not allow the particulars of the capture to transpire. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(7'HIS DAY.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) IN RE A. F. DE NEWMAIIN. This was a meeting for last examination. The bank rupt was described of 37, Gloucester-street, Pimlico, and 48, Lime-erect, city, merchant. The bankrupt having omitted to file his accounts and balance-sheet, the examination was adjourned. Mr. Sculthorp was then examined and stated that the prisoner told him he found the letters in the kitchen. When the prisoner was given into custody he stated that he was not a thief—he only destroyed the letters. He said nothing relative to the cheques. The prisoner in answer to the charge, said he knew nothing about the cheques. He picked up two letters and one envelope, all crumpled up, and put them in his pocket. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. SPORTING NOTES. THE DOINGS AT DONCASTER, The stir and bustle attending the approaching meeting are variously displayed in the sporting world. Trainers are in daily communication with their employers re, specting the horses they are to keep under orders ; whilst the most popular jockeys are in so much request, that to fulfil half the engagements open for them they would be compelled to imitate the "rapid act of horse manship " of Young Hernandez on three steeds. The movements in the turf market are watched with deep interest and anxiety ; and although . ..speculation on the St, Leger makes steady progress, yet many people affect a belief that its tendency will be ultimately diverted. Still the St. Leger does not engross all interest; albeit it is likely to afford a race of more stirring excitement and im portance than has been witnessed on the Doncaster Town Moor for many years. A ttention is powerfully directed to what are popularly called the minor items of the I programme. The Champagne Stakes to be contested on Tuesday will afford the most important and interest. ing two-years-old encounter of the season. Artillery, who made so favourable a debut at York, will be brought out to measure his strength against Mary Copp, unques tionably the best and most promising filly that has ap peared for some years. In addition to Artillery, this race will attract other Derby candidates to the post, The Danube, Mario, and Bird•in-Hand being talked about as probable competitors. The Great Yorkshire Handicap is another important item in the programme for the " opening day." Although the range of speculation on this event has been somewhat limited, yet the " opera tions" of the cognoscenti have been active and signifi cant. The "Midsummer madness" which affected some people with respect to the Ebor Handicap has again broke out with increased force, albeit the advance of Little Harry to a prominent position in the list of quo tations and the introduction of Vandal have some what checked it. Midsummer is certainly leni ently handicapped, and, if " wanted," will be a formidable representative of the Whitewall interest. Radcliffe Hero, 5 yrs, sst. 71b., is turned loose. lam informed that he is a certain starter, and if " i' the vein" his victory may afford another proof of the possibility of a handicapper's bringing " bad horses and good horses together." The field for the St. Leger will comprise about a dozen starters. The cause of Rifleman's unexpected elevation to the post of premiership, and of Oulston's equally unexpected retrogression require no explanation. The performances of these two animals at York are off so recent occurrence, and have already been so widely discussed in all their bearings, that I have really nothing new to add to the observations which they have occa sioned. Rifleman seems likely to maintain his pride of place in the betting down to the hour of starting ; he is a public horse, and by the public he will be supported with unwavering confidence to the last moment. Despite the unsatisfactory proceedings which were connected with his withdrawal from the Derby firm faith is placed in the "Squire's" honour. able intentions and honesty of purpose. That faith will not be abused. The success of Rifleman will, however, deal a heavy blow and sore discouragement to certain minor members of the Ring who, some months ago, deeming the horse virtually a "dead 'un," teok un warrantable liberties with him, and laid preposterously extravagant odds against him. Why, one person at Goodwood laid a thousand pounds to fifty shillings against him, whilst another betted five hundred pounds to two sovereigns. These hasty speculators have been compelled to "get out" on terms which will, if the horse lose, teach them discretion for the future. Oulston has a powerful party, and I shall not be surprised to see him at least an equal favourite with Rifleman on or be fore the day. His defeat at York perhaps scarcely created so strong a prejudice against him as his light and over-trained appearance. A reaction is evidently setting in in his favour, and a belief is gradually obtaining that, after all, his inglorious exhibition on Knavesmire may have been a mistake. Oulston has run sufficiently well to prove that he possesses much racing merit, and it is not at all improbable that had be not met Wild Dayrell he would have still been the leading favourite. To allow the remembrance of one defeat to make us unmindful of his "antecedents," would be unwise and unjust. Oulston has displayed extraordinary racing power, and I am therefore disinclined to let-- "One sad losel soil a name for aye." 111-omened reports are in circulation respecting Lord of the Isles, in whom I was once induced to place absolute trust. My confidence is, however, now some what shaken, and I am reluctantly compelled to with. draw my alleg:aece. The movements in the turf market would indicate that Lord of the Lies has not only had one " bad night," but several, for the disposition to lay' against him is eager and umistakeable. Capucine may be considered the fourth favourite ; she certainly has a chance, but I am inclined to doubt her staying qualities. Tarfites are puzzled about Scott's lot ; they are afraid of Grreculus Esuriens, but disinclined to trust him. I, however, neither fear nor trust the " hungry little Greek," and shall expect Alarc'nioness to carry the Whitewall money bags. Rotherham and Saucebox are talked abort as being the most formidable outsiders. Both will doubtless run forward, but scarcely forward enough to obtain " honourable notice" from the judge. An ominous silence is maintained with respect to Corcebus. Many circumstances conspire at present to render it hazardous to express a definite opinion on the probable re sult of the St. Leger. The operations in the Turf Market may contribute to upset the most seemingly accurate cal culations. Were I, however, " well on" on Oulston and Rifleman, I should await the issue of the encounter with no desponding expectations. Certain incidents connected with the Warwick Meet ing deserve attention. Young Fordhain rode five times, and was four times successful. The unexpected appearance of Homily among the starters for the Leamington Stakes not a little disappointed those who counted their chickens before they were hatched. Cunning " Little Isaac" never played a deeper game than this with Homily. If the noble owner of the mare bad been present he would have been little gratified with the remarks which the result of the race occasioned. A private arrangement insured the withdrawal of Flatterer from the County Stakes, and rendered Lady Bird's success a certainty. During the morning Lady Bird had been freely backed until the "odds" against her were reduced to "evens." The sen sation which was created when the telegraph board an nounced only three starters may be readily imagined, and they who laid against the favourite asserted, with ludicrous earnestness, that they did not even have a race for their money, for only the winner tried. Flatterer had been freely backed, and the question was mooted as to whether the bets ought to be paid about him. In my opinion the race is indisputably p.p., and all bets stand, albeit certain parties would be r:ghtly served if precedent would admit of their being declared off. If the Chesterfield Cup and Stewards' Plate at Goodwood, however, are to be deemed p.p. races, and if Admiral Roils correctly defines p.p. races to be those events important enough to make a book on prior to going to the pest, then the County Stakes at Warwick is clearly entitled to that distinction. The suspicious running of Falcon on Tuesday and Wednes day excited much indignation. Verily there were some ill-omened birds at Warwick. On Monday I shall fully discuss the chances of the St. Leger competitors, and endeavour to explain the latest movements of the betting brotherhood. To-day there is racing at Chatham and Stockton-on-Tees. The proceedings at each place will be terminated to-morrow. The events do not possess sufficient importance to re quire notice. A FRESH MAN.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(TIIIS DAY.) MANSION-HO - USE. CAUTION TO STRANGERS.—Joh.n Collins was charged before Alderman Salomons with obtaining 6d. by false pretences, under the following circumstances : Mrs. Jane Perkins, wife of Mr. Perkins, draper, of Leicester, stated that on Monday she arrived at Euston square Station, and took an omnibus to Gracechurch street. As she was getting out at the latter place, the prisoner came up to her and said, " Where for, ma'am?" She replied that she wanted a 'bus for Camberwell gate. He requested her to follow him, which she did ; but she refused to allow him to carry her luggage. After walking with him about fifty yards they came to an omnibus, the prisoner saying, "This is the bus, ma'am," pointing to the word Camber well on it, and opened the door, at the same time de manding 6d. of her. She at first 01 - jected, remarking she thought she bad not to pay before she g 4 to Camber well-gate. The prisoner said, " Ob, yes, you do ; you pay now," on which she gave him is., and he returned her 6d., and walked off.• She then saw she had made a mistake ; she paid him the money believing him to be the omnibus conductor. Tile conductor, No. 711, stated that he saw the pri soner and the female come to the 'bus, and some money pass between them. It was of frequent occurrence these demands on females. P. C. 5 said the prisoner was well known to the po lice, and that he had been previously convicted. He was Vie worst character in the neighbourhood. P. S. 78 said that about a fortnight since he was cal'ed by an elderly lady near the Mansion-house, in conse tience of a man refusing to let her have her luggage without she paid him is. On going to the spot he found the prisoner in possession of it, who demanded ls. for taking it from the omnibus to the pavement. On seeing the officer with the lady he made off. Snell exor• bilant demands were of frequent occurrence, and many persons paid them to get rid of the annoyance. P. C. 529 also gave the prisoner a similar character. Strangers were the persons victimised. The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said there was a conspiracy against him on the part of the police. He admitted receiving the 6d., but it was for his trouble in showing the lady to the omnibus. He denied ever having been convicted befhire, but on the alderman intimating his intention of remanding hin,for a week for the pro• duction of evidence as to that fact, he admitted he had been. Alderman Salomon, however, remanded him for a week to make inquiries into his character. GUILDHALL. ASSAULTING THE POLlCE.—George Goodman, was charged before Alderman Finnic with aiisaulting the police. Police Constable 219 stated that this morning about half-past one o'clock, when on duty on Holborn Hill, he wai called by the prisoner to quell a disturbance in Plum Tree•court, but on going there he found al! quiet. The prisoner came to him a second time with the same tale, and on his going there again he found he had been hoaxed a second time, on which he told the prisoner that if hA came to him again he would lock him up. Prisoner, who was in liquor, then because very violent, and in the scuffle kieked witness on the leg and struck him in the left eye. P.C. 264, who went to the last witness's assistance, stated that the prisoner was a porter of Newgate-market, and a vary violent man. He kicked witness on the leg, and was so violent that they bad to take off his boots, and fasten his legs together with their belts to bring him to the station-house. Alderman Finnic fined the prisoner 10s. for the assaults, and ss. for being drunk, or 14 days' imprison ment. EMBEZZLEMENT. - 77tomas Murray was charged under the following circumstances : Edward Richards, one of the city policemen, stated that last night, whilst he was on duty in Newgate-street, the prisoner came up to him and informed him that about three weeks since he absconded from Leeds with 2/. 16.. Bd., which be had received on account of his employers, Messrs. Peacock and Co., drapers, of that place. He said he had occasion to take ls. of the money, which, being unable to make up, he wa4 afraid to return to his employers, and came to London. He had now spent all, and was destitute. Witness took him into custody. . . Alderman Finnis asked the prisoner if the statement the officer bad made was true Prisoner said it was. Mr. Alderman Finnic remanded the prisoner till Sa turday, and directed the police to make inquiries at Leeds in the meantime as to the truth of the prisoner's statement. BOW-STREET. POST-OFFICE ROBBERY. —John Grace, a letter-carrier, WAR placed at the bar charged with stealing various letters, the property of her Majesty's Postmaster• General. The Solicitor to the Post•office having stated the case, Mr. J. Adlington, a grocer, residing at Gravesend, said—on Monday last he wrote a letter and enclosed in it a cheque for 461. 14s. 6d., drawn on the London and County Bulk. He crossed the cheque previous to sending it, and having placed the letter in an adh ep i v ., envelope, which he directed to Messrs. Ruck and Son, 40, King William-street, London. It was about twenty minutes past 12 when be despatched a lad named John Atwood with it to the post-office. He expected an answer to the letter, and not receiving any he made in quiries relative to it. He had also ascertained that the cheque had not been presented for payment at the bank. _ John Atwood said he was in the service of Mr. Ad lington at Gravesend. On Monday last he received a letter from his master to post, directed to Messrs. Ruck and Son, 40, Sing William-street, city, at about 20 nsinute3 past 12. He took the letter to the General Post office at Gravesend, and there deposited it, two or three minutes before •ne, in the same state as he had received it from Mr. Adlington. A second charge was then proceeded with, in order to embrace the two cases in one indictment. Joseph Ruddick, a linen draper at Gravesend, stated on Monday last he wrote a letter and enclosed a cheque for 11. Bs. in it. The cheque was drawn by his wife Martha, on the London and City Bank, and also crossed by ber. The letter and cheque were then placed in an adhesive envelope, and addressed John Clark, junior, and Co., 72, Aldermanbury, City. He posted the letter himself at Gravesend, at about eleven o'clock. He bad not received an answer to the letter. He had made in quiries respecting the letter and its contents, and found that the cheque had not been presented at the bank. He identified the fragments of a letter produced as forming part of the letter be had posted at Gravesend. Walter Tisdell, a clerk in the Post-office at Gravesend, stated that at five minutes before one the mail-bag was made up and despatched to London, and all letters posted before that hour would have been forwarded by that bag. Mr. Richard Ruck, resided at 40, King William street, City. He assisted his father in his business. He had bad evidence given to-day relative to the letter posted at Gravesend, and directed to their house. That letter never reached its destination. Mr. W. Milne resided at Aldermanbury. Be was wilt PAT Letice, Jola 011r1i7 cotton opi=gs, THE COAL AND IRON TRADE. On Saturday last a meeting of the coal and iron mas ters was held at the Hotel, Dudley, to take into con sideration the propriety of advancing the wages of the o - illiers west of Dudley. W. 0. Foster, of Stourton, pre sided, and after a little discussion it was agreed to ad vance the thick coal colliers 6d. per day, and the stone getters 3d., making the former 4s. 6d., and the latter 3s. 6d. per day ; and it was further agreed, if at next quar ter day the price of iron should be advanced as is ex pected, to give the colliers another increase of 6J., and the stone-getters 3d. per day, making the former as., and the latter 3s. 9d. per day. To this proposition the colliers and miners demur, and it is not expected that they will resume their work upon such terms. They contend that, as the thick colliers on the West Brom wich side for some time have had ss. per day, it is an act of injustice towards those west of Dudley to be required to work at a less rate, which has been the case for the last four months, seeing that no valid reason is assigned why such a difference should exist. The notice of the colliers west of Dudley for a rise of one shilling per day expired on Saturday last, and it will soon be seen whether or not the proposition of the etas ters will be generally acceded to, either in whole or in part. The demand for pig is very brisk, and at advanced rates. Sheet iron is in great request, and the mills and forges are in active operation. It is reported that several large houses have, more orders on their books than they can execute during the remainder of the quar ter, and that they will not take further orders except subject to whatever advance may be declared at the next preliminary meeting in September, which will he held on the 27th inst., and the declared rise, which will be either 20s. or 40s. per ton upon malleable iron. At the weekly meeting of ironinneters in this town, on Wednesday, the question of an advance in price was discussed, after which .T. Hartley, Esq., of the firm of Thorneycroft and Co., moved a resolution to the effect that prices sh iuld remain as at present until the end of the month. The motion was seconded by %V. Barrows. Esq., of the firm of Barrows and Hall, and unanimously adopted. It is not a little singular that, will,' such increased ac tiviLy is manifest in the iron trade, some of the largest works of the district are advertised to be let or to be sold. Toe Crookhay establishment, lately occupied by one of the unfortunate firms which gave way during the late panic, is in the market, and it is hoped that the sum it may produce may materially reduce the deficiencies of its late leasehold proprietors. The Oak Farm Works, the property of the Right Hon. W. E. Gladet-ne, Lord Lyttelton, and Sir S. Glyn, and so well known fin connection with the names of Messrs. Boydell, are also again before the public ; not, however, in consequence of any defalcation on the part of the present tenants (one of the most respected and wealthiest firms in the district), but the tenancy is well nigh expired, and, for causes best known to the parties themselves, they have determined to offer the plant and stock to public com petition. The Nithsdale Ironworks, now called the New Cumnock Ironworks, in Scotland ; a colliery and ironstone works, in the Staffordshire Potteries ; 80 acres of a coal and ironstone mining estate, in the most cen tral part of the Staffordshire Potteries ; and a forge and rolling mills at East Dean, and a number of small pro perties of less importance, are likewise offered for sale. The affairs of Mr. Thos. Spencer, ironmaster, which for some weeks past have been alternating between a private arrangement and bankruptcy, have at length been finally arranged, without resort being had to the public court. In the early part of the week it was feared that this very heavy concern (the liabilities in one form or another exceed 100,0000 would have been subjected to all the expenses of an open adjudication, but ou Saturday, at a meeting under the private arrangement elate() of the Bankruptcy Act, the offer of 2s. 6d. in the pound, payable in four months, and adequately guaraeteed. was accepted by the creditors. The securi•y for pay ment is one of the most responsible men in the district. In the coal trade the demand continues more than brisk, and greater than can be conveniently supplied, owing to the inattention of the men, and prices consequently continue high, much higher than they ought to be for manufacturing purposes. The prices at the wharves at present are—best, 135.; common, 10s.; and lumps, 9s. per ton. From Yorkshire and Derbyshire we find it stated that " the prospects of the iron trade become every week more encouraging. Wee mills and forges are well employed, and there are a good number of orders on the books at the advance of 20J. per ton. Tree only drawback to these bright anticipations is the exten sion of the prohibitions to the exportations of iron by the Order in Council. There is a likelihood of a good demand for iron springing up from India and Australia, as well as from Canada and the States. There is a tolerably good demand for Derbyshire pig iron, and prices have been firmly maintained. In the coal trade there appears to he a dullness, which, how ever, is not expected to continue long. The stocks gene rally are lower than usual at this period of the year ; and as soon as the winter demand sets in prices are ex pected to advance. There is likely to be an augmented production during the winter season, as several new col lieries in Derbyshire will be producing coal."-- IVolver hanipton Chronicle. THE CUDHAM MURDER.—The police have not yet suc ceeded in capturing the person or persons 'suspected of having committed this atrocious crime. Mrs. Beagley, the mother, notwithstanding her great age and the seri ous nature of her i juries, continues to improve, and is now regarded as being in a fair way to ultimate reco very. She cannot, however, yet cast any light upon the subject of the murder, nor is there any chance, from the fact of her having been attacked while asleep, of her being able to do so hereafter. THE LATE CHILD MURDER AT BRISTOL.—The ad journed inquest on the body of Melinda Payne was re sumed yesterday morning at the Rownharn Tavern, Hotwells, before Mr. J. B. Grindon, coroner. On the reassembling of the jury the coroner said that since their last meeting, n otwithstanding the police had been actively engaged, assisted by the advice of the magistrates and several of their fellow-citizens, no evidence had been dis covered which could lead them to arrive at anything con clusive orsatisfactory. In order further to aid the inquiry the assistance of other police of great experience in such matters bad been afforded, and they were now actively en gaged in investigating all the circumstances of the case. Some rumours had reached him (the coroner), but they were not at present of such a nature as to warrant him in calling witnesses respecting them. Considering that the jury had already had a great deal of trouble, and that it was probable they would have a great deal more, he proposed at once to adjourn the inquiry for a week, or for a longer period. If this course were adopted some good might result, but at present it would only t o mis leading the jury by endeavouring to make out a case which would probably take some time to unravel. If, however, any of the gentlemen of the jury had heard anything at all tending to elucidate the case they would be good enough to state it ; but if not, the witnes°es who were in attendance would not be produced that day, as they could not throw any material light upon the sub ject, and it would, therefore, be only occupying time without purpose. A juryman inquired whether there was not another witness to corroborate the statement of Nlrs. Handy and her husband as to the father of the child being seen to go up the gully - alone ? Mr. Inspec tor Attwood said there was such a witness, but she would not attend unless she were summoned. The coroner said there would be no difficulty in issuing a summons for the attendance of this woman if it should be found necessary ; and, after some further conversa tion, the inquiry was adjourned till Monday. MADAME ISABEL.—The manner of this lady in the riding school at the cavalry depot at Maidstone is won derful as it is improving. She speaks wholly in French, but every word she utters is in the same breath repeated in English by the interpreter at her side. Some of her expressions are--" Doucement," " Caressez votro che val," &c. ; indeed, kindness appears to be the key to all her instruction. If a horse shows symptoms of restive ness instead of allowing the rider to whip or pull the reins harshly, she orders the rein to be dropt, approaches the animal, pats him and gives him a piece of carrot, a plentiful supply of which she has at hand in a large ex terior pocket for the purpose. The ability and great perception of Madame Isabel are truly astonishing. The novelty at present in M. Isabel's instruction of the horses is the making them pass from right to left, and vice versa, which is accomplished by the rider having such perfect control over the mouth of her horse, as with the slightest pressure of the hand upon the rein, to make him pass one fore leg over the other in quick succession. M. Isabel allows no depending upon the stirrup ; but, from the direction she gives the body, by knee and foot, insures a firm and graceful seat. The salary of M. Label is 401. a month.

BALAKLAYA, Aug. 27.—As the balance of proba bilities inclines to another winter in the Crimea, it is worth while inquiring what will be the position of our army after the rain sets in, and the country between Balaklava and the camp is rendered unfit for the passage of waggons and beasts of burden. The railway co rps i s gone , an d out of that stout body of navvies who were ready, while in Engl an d, to smash Russians with their picks, but who seem to have become most peaceably inclined as soon as they saw the enemy's works, there now remains hut Mr. Beatty, who retains the charge of the rail way at the express request of General Simpson, and two or three of the principal superintendents and overseers of works. The horses which were sent out from England, diminished in numbers and overworked, are not equal to the development of the capabilities of the line, but there is some satis factory proof of the earnestness and prevoyance of the allies respecting the Winter's campaign of 1855. Mr. Beatty has received instructions to form two new lines of railway —one from the Col de Bala klava to Kamiesh, to be worked by horse-power ; the other from Kadikoi to the Woronzoff-road, near the Sardinian position over Tchorgoun. Mr. Campbell is already engaged in laying out the former line ; Mr. Beatty is now laying out the latter. The labour will be supplied by the French and Sardinians. The line from Kadikoi to the Woronzoff-road will pass over the plain of Balaklava, which is very soft and muddy in winter, and the rail will be worked, it is hoped, by loco motive power. The French, Sardinians, and Turks will derive equal advantage from it, and indeed their position would be utterly untenable after the rain and snow began without some such aid, as they would be starved out if they had to depend upon horse transport for supplies. Liprandi, with the whole country open behind him, and the com mand of the Woronzoff-read, found that he could not hold the Tchernaya last winter, and burnt his cantonment as soon as the river began to rise. The allies will be able to maintain their advanced posi tion so far as the means of communication are con cerned. They will not be condensed on the plateau, which is now as full of tents as it can hold. But the great and all-important question now arises— How will Balaklava, itself the terminus of two lines of railway, meet the requirements of nearly 100,000 men and of an incalculable number of mules and horses ? Of course no sane person contemplates that our Government or military authorities intend to expose our cavalry to another winter in the basin of Kadikoi or on the hill tops of Karanyi, and so far, at least, the requirements for food and fodder will be diminished ; but an enormous increase in camp followers, sutlers, muleteers, land transport corps, beasts of burden, and troops has taken place since last year, and all must be fed. The Sardinians and Turks will require portions of our wharfage, of our storeroom, and of our narrow waterway in Bala klava, which is already as full as it can hold of shipping, although no great accumulation of stores has been effected. Many vessels now lie outside. The recollections of the 14th of November, 1854, forbid us to indulge in the hop© that they can do so in safety after winter approaches. There is only left us, to avoid the dangers which threaten us, to accumulate while the fine weather lasts ample stores of all kinds of food as far up to the front as possible, to fill our recently establishe3 divisional depots, to keep the central depot crammed, and to concentrate all our energy on roadmaking and depot-building wherever they may be required. Mr. Beatty is sanguine that the original line of railway will last during the winter, with neces sary repairs, and 200 men of the Army Works Corps have been detached to assist him in re pairing and restabilitating it. Some large iron sheds have been erected at Balaklava as stores for rice and sugar, and steps are being taken to send up similar structures to each division of our army. Tie French are building most spacious stores all over their camp. With all these prepa rations it will be found that our army will undergo much suffering unlesss roads are made, ten times more storehouses erected, and Balaklava regulated with the most scrupulous care. Admiral Fre mantle deserves credit for his naval administration, and he has been most ably assisted by Captain Heath, who now retires, at his own request, from the harassing and responsible office to which he was appointed after Captain Christie's dismissal. Ships are now cleared out rapidly, instead of lying for months in harbour, with enormous demurrage dues. A naval officer has been appointed, at Admiral Fremantle's suggestion, to examine all ships as they arrive, and to expedite their despatch after discharge of cargo ; to see that there is no unnecessary delay on the voyage, and to make them as useful as possible. Sir Edmund Lyons is trying hard to lose his popularity with the navy. He has just conferred the promotion. rendered vacant by the death of Capt. Hammett on Lieutenant Pasley, his Flag- Lieutenant, son of Sir J. Pasley, and has thrust him over the heads of the lieutenants, many of them his seniors, who have been serving in the trenches for months of fire, while he has been comfortably " doing nothing," as Flag Lieutenant of the Ad miral's ship. A reference to the Navy List will show the hardship of this case towards many hard working officers. No one blames Commander Pasley, who is an active and intelligent officer ; but it is most unjust to those who have borne the toil and heat of the day to see him, for no special merit of his own, but because he happened to be a friend of the Admiral, promoted over their heads. Com mander Pasley is now serving for his further pro motion in the trenches. Lieutenant Graham has, I believe, returned home to England after a brief sojourn in the rear of the batteries. He volunteered for that service, as it is supposed he was not quite convinced of his fitnes:l for the duties of lieutenant on board ship, but the anxiety of his family in duced them to remove him from the post of danger and of honour. This is the on dit in the Naval Brigade. The 56th Regiment, which has just arrived off Balaklava, and was under orders to proceed to Kertch, to relieve the 71st Regiment, is to land at once; with blankets, dro , as the enemy seem preparing for another attack, either on Balaklava, by the way of Baidar, or on the position of the Tchernaya. THE BATTLE OF THE TOLIERNAYA. The following is a copy of a letter received in Dublin from a cavalry officer : 0 4, 4, " C . avalry Camp, K a d e k o i , Cr i mea, Aug. 17. * ,—There was a very severe action fought on the Tchernaya, a b ou t two m i les from our camp, Tes ter lay morning. Th e R ussians advanced at day- b reak, in 12 strong c o l umns, about 2,000 men each, with a large force of cavalry and artillery, and tried to force the French and Sardinian positions on the left bank of the river. They were permitted to cross the river by the bridge, and by light frames, which they had carried for that purpose, to ascend the opposite hill. When there, the French and Sardinians opened on them with anima tion, with artillery and musketry, and drove them hack into the river with the bayonet. The action lasted about five hours. It was indeed a sanguinary affair, and re flects the highest credit upon our brave allies. " I rode over the field a few hours after the battle, and there were at least 2,000 dead bodies on the ground — mostly Russians. You may judge of their loss in wounded, of whom a great number, besides prisoners, have fallen into the hands of the victors. Ido not think a man who crossed the river to the attack escaped. In one place at the principal bridge, where the fight was fiercest, I had to get off my horse, as I could dead . ride an through without trampling on the heaps of . 1 wounded. From all I see and hear I think it was as n la b s t l s h a e ck gr b o r u e n ad d with look artillery were out, but only one battery. was engaged. severe an engagement as Inkerman. Our cavalry and The Sardinians behaved very well in their position. "I was down again this morning, and they were paupers. Ea c h from the bodies was horrible.

CORN MARKET SPECULATORS.—The barometer in the Exchan ge - room at Liverpool has just received the addi. tin of a protective brass bar and strong padlock, and the event is one of come importance to the commercial community. It appears that several of the Greek mer chants and others in that town have recently had the credit of using every conceivable means to bring about certain fluctuations in the corn market. The corn dealers at this season keep a constant eye on the baro meter, and have often of late been startled by apparent oscillations of the large one at the south end of the room and the frequent downward tendency of the mercury. These movements were especially observable on market days. Suspicion was at length excited, and a watch set on the instrument. The result was the discovery of one of the supposed speculators in the a ct of op en i ng th e door and pushing the indicator upward, thus giving the mercury the appearance of haring fallen so as to create apprehensions of bad weather and higher prices. It is not stated if any public steps are to be taken against this person, but meanwhile the managers of the Erhange have adopted the only me;} to reader a repeitioa of pritct;cs i4Wkltoibl9. r r I toP° l ' in 01d tbner Pr e ; o rat Foto, t ill I ail i tbe r tliv% . 00 „,• , rs 13 'w of 20 100 100 100 20 20 50 20 25 001 8` 100 106 '32s. iuO 100 10 22 all all 62f i 811 i 97i 94 3,1 14? 23 i 20 20 20 10 , J
