There must now be n( waiting for Austria or for Prussia—no opening of negotiations, the sole effect whereof would be to give breathing-time to Russia, and to enable it to recover partially from the heavy blow which ha: just been administered. The insidious argument: of the Peace-at-any-Price Party must now be dis regarded. No maudlin sentimentality can be in dulged in. We have sacrificed many millions o'• treasure and the lives of tens of thousands of out best and bravest, to break the pride and red ac‘• the inordinate power of Russia ; and, the work having at length been accomplished, we must ren der the humiliation complete, and prevent th( possibility of further aggression for many years t( come. We have now acquired the right to im pose stringent terms, and not a single point cat, be waived in following it up to the very utmost. It is ridiculous to say that with the destructior , of the Russian fleet and the demolition of " the standing menace to Constantinople and tt Europe," the objects of the War have been full) accomplished, and that we may now safely retirt from the contest. If we did so, it would be merely deferring the evil day, purchasing a tem porary exemption for ourselves at the expense of our children and their offspring. The paper pro mises of Russia will no longer suffice ; " ma terial guarantees " of the most satisfactory cha racter are indispensable. The plunder of past years must be relinquished by Russia, and an ample indemnity given for the expenses of tht. War. By insisting on ;those terms, we only follow the precedent established by Russia herself —every success being the signal for territorial changes, and the loser invariably paid the "full costs." No intervention can for a moment be listened to. Austria and Prussia have for their own pur poses refrained from taking part in the War. They cannot now be permitted to interfere for the purpose of helping Russia out of the scrape. In this respect we have also the example of R uss i a to refer to. She invariably - insisted on dealin2 directly with the adversary, and receiving the propositions without any intermediate agent. She must therefore, on the present occasion, " drec her own weird," and come to head-quarters for any indulgence she may require. The next step is now anxiously looked for. The Russian fleet has been completely destroyed, but the Crimean army still exists. Sebastopol h virtually our own ; but Simpheropol, Bakshi Serai, and other towns, still afford shelter to Rus sian garrisons. That army must be forced to capitulate—the whole of the Crimea be restored to its lawful owners. Under any circumstances it can never again be restored to the AUTOCRAT — never made the point of aggression to overawe in offensive neighbours. Once reduced into posses sion, i.t can easily be retained by those who have the command of the surrounding seas. No army could venture to cross Perekop and enter on the arid steppes which lie between it and the Crimean cap it a l. A thoroughly efficient commissariat, and the certainty of ample supplies from the rear, would be indispensable before such a movement could be attempted. It would be a hard task for Prince GoR-r.. to evacuate the territory-, and get his f°11 " - ers out of the terrible trap in whi c h th e y a r e caught, even if unassailed. But if the Allied Generals efficiently discharge their duty, it will be abso lutely impossible. The 'triumphant termination of the siege, will liberate a large body of men from the harassing work of the trenches, and within a few hours they may be conveyed to Eupatoria, whence a Single day's march would cerey theta on to Simplieropol. doing so riomptly they could cut oft the retreat of the Eus;ians. , Eut no time can be lost in considera tion. The enemy w ill make up their minds cery r „pilly, and leave nothing but a devastated country,, anci ruined towns behind th em. They can . u,se : their latisl6 'well, and if time be allowed. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING; SE'PT'EMBER 12, 1855, may get off before our troops get to the scratch. A. single day's delay may impose the necessity of sending troops to the Tcheterlik, where the fugi tives could easily be intercepted, every road to the Isthmus being commanded, there is a glorious opportunity for the Generals to show the stuff of which they are made, and to render the conster nation of Russia decisive. We hope it may not be neglected or misapplied. The hour of success is also the hour of danger. We do not, indeed, fear imprudence on the part of our Generals; they have hitherto rather shrunk from heavy risks. The danger is at home. If our Generals and Admirals receive orders to clear the Crimea of Russians from Balaklava to Perekop before winter, we believe they will do it ; but our fear is for the effect of victory on the people; if it lead them to relax their vigilance over their own Government they may lose in an evil hour the fruits of all their blood and treasure. While exulting in the first grand success, the first achieve ment to which the Alma, and Balaklava, and In kerrnan, and the Tchernaya were but preparatory steps ; --while soothed by the retribution which has overtaken the savage pirates of Sinope, driven to naval suicide by remorse and cowardice—we must yet keep our heads cool, and,not suffer the reins to fall from our hands. Hitherto we have proved true, because honest, prophets. We take no other credit to ourselves for having foreseen so frequently and so correctly the diplomatic and political issues of things than is due to the instinct of straightforward advocacy of the nation's views on the War, and the most rooted hatred to the Germanising and Russia ;paring policy of our public men. With the vast majority of the nation, a majority which ought rather to be called unanimity, we have held that Ruhsia ought to be humbled and reduced without mercy. From the beginning our argument has been that mercy to Russia was cruelty to our soldiers, cruelty to all Europe, cruelty to our selves at home. For every house spared at Odessa, for instance, and elsewhere, we main tain that scores of English and French lives hare bees sacrificed, for the lenity evinced in taking the now scouted Four Points into consideration our army suffered in the slackness of the siege operations, and in the opportunity gained by Russia to liberate her troops from Poland. But, worse than all, there have been_ traitors in our camp from the time of ABERDEEN, GLADSTONE, and GRAHAM to this hour. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, or his principles on this question, have been and will be, unless the nation forbids, the curse of the War. He might have been more willing than Lord ABERDEEN to frighten Russia, if she had not been far too cunning not to see through masquerade war, but his leading and avowed principle is as disgraceful to a war statesman as it has been ruinous to our army and costly to our finances. The territory and the dignity of Russia have ! been Lord JOHN'S avowed care from the beginning ,)f the War till his great Vienna downfall. All the GREYS and RussEu.s, with their affines, have shared the folly, and, we must say, the political turpitude, of their leader ; at least so far as we can gather from their doings and their not-doings, their sayings and their not-sayings. The whole ;nfluence of the old family clique, backed, we fear, icy the despotic affinities of the Court, has been directed to conducting the War on the mad prin- Jiple of sparing Russia, so . far as the English Jeople would permit. Think of a MARLBOROUGH, )r a WELLINGTON, a RODNEY OT a NELSON, an XLFRED or a CROMWELL attemp Ging their campaigns such a dra wing -room principle ! England's great oen hitherto have gone to war with but one . dea, that of sparing the enemy nowhere when hey could light upon him. They let him know that he continued war at the peril of losing nore and more, and losing it irrecoverably, each (ear. We believe it to be the height of wicked qess to draw the swot(' on any other condition. ['he bloodshed of war for mere victory, but war not intended to disable the enemy permanently from renewing his aggressions, is, we believe, greater -han that of a war which aims by every means at die latter. We suspect a Cabinet which dabbled with the Four Points, and a Cabinet which avows no sym pathy with the rights of the nations which Russia has absorbed, and by absorbing which she has hecome formidable. We suspect a Cabinet which has ignominiously courted the Austrian Alliance, Ind sacrificed to it not only Poland but a Polish legion also. We suspect a Cabinet which has icoured,Europe for foreign soldiers, but has re fused the only foreign soldiers whose very name and banners would have struck Russia with dis may. Above all, we suspect a Cabinet in which Sir CHARLES WOOD follows Sir JAMES GRAHAM, and under whose management the Baltic Fleet has doubled our Income Tax to do next to nothing. The relative of Earl GREY, the long associate of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, a man, too, of confessedly mediocre ability, could never occupy his all-im portant post at the Admiralty but as the fitting implement for not doing too much. We think it is now demonstrated that it was not intended to be too successful in the Baltic. The NA PIER correspondence has, at least, proved one thing-- that even Sir CHARLES WOOD knew how to lay Suveaborg, Helsingfors, and Cronstadt in ruins, and has not done it. The autumn exploit at Sweaborg proved also what could have been done, had it been wished, at any time this summer. The requisite means vi ere known, the requisite means could have been provided in any one of half-a-dozen iron works in England, but the re quisite means were not forthcoming ! The reader must draw his conclusion ; he may, perhaps, waver between a verdict of incapacity, or of lesign. We ourselves can feel no hesitation. Whig and Peelite politics throughout the whole War forbid us to doubt. We implore our fellow - countryme n to watch their .Government. Influences from Whig Peelite Aristocracy at home, and fromdespo a t n i d c connexiena abroad, will spare the great culprit if p oss ible. Even now that war is throwing its weight into the scale of justice it will be attempted to save Russian territory and Russian dignity to the last. Vienna gave Russia the means in 1814 to attack the liberties of Europe; Vienna will aim to perpetuate that wickedness. English States men are not to be relied on in Germany. The War must now be pushed till a Peace Congress be hald at London or Paris, or, better still, at W. Russia must send her Plenipotentiaries to the capitals of the Allies, or to the capital of reconstituted Poland she must be fined to the amount of the interest of the debt she has created in four countries, and of a sink ing fund to redeem it. Her revenues must, after a peace, be employed, not in training her slaves for fresh aggression, but in remedying the Pecuniary losses caused by her late one. Above all, her dangerous territory must be taken from her. The Crimea, of course, is all but gone already) Bessarabia and the Black Sea coasts must follow ; and if the War continue, even Sir C. WOOD dares not deny that Finland must be e great i t on. re united to Swede n , and Poland fulfil the duty whic e h ba a: t l op eo o m i sensetmeaonches on allots to What 1)y. • throwing her strength into her frontiers Russia has given up her most terrible defence. CHARLES X 1 I. and NAPOLEON alike found that her inte rior was their ruin. It may be hard work to re duce her Crimean, her Polish, and her Baltic for- tresses, but to carry war successfully into her in terior would be the more fatal undertaking. Sebastopol, Warsaw, and Cronstadt may threaten Europe, but the - r also enable Europe to wear out and to chastise Russia, ARRIVAL OP PRINCE APOLEON BOSAPARTE.

MILITARY BARRACKS AT DUNFERMLINE.—Robertson's factory has been leased by Government, and is to be fitted up as a barrack.

Fie'd-MarAal Count Nugent was attacked on the 28th ult. with cholera, while at his country house of Susika, and on the following day he received the la-1 sacraments. Lettcrs from Fiume, the Hungarian port in the Adriatic, how.ver, state that he afterwards ral lied, and that his physicians now declare him to be out of danger. The Peninsular and Oriental Royal West India Mail and General Screw Companies have arranged with the Electric Telegraph Company codes of night signals, b% which the arrival of their different t-teamers is commu nicated to the Telegraph S'atioiat Hurst Castle, situat.d at the entrance of the Solent Sea, arid by that inea'ie intelligence of these steamers is conveyed to London and Southampton in the dead of the night, two hours before the arrival of the ships at the latter port. When a steamer arrives off Hurst Te'egraph Station in the night a gun is fired from it, which awakens the telegraph clerk. differEnt'y arranged, according to what com pany the steamer belongs, are then hoisted on board the steamer, and as soon as the telegraph clerk has rec,g nised them ho hoists a light which informs the captain that his signal has been seen and understood. The sig nal is hoisted on board and understood on shore while the steamer is in motion. PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about a t par ( accor di ng to the last tariff), which, at the English• Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for stand ard gold, gives an exchange of 25'17 ; and, the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 . 14 it fellows that gold is about 0 . 18 per cent. dearer in Paris than in Lon don. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 427 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13'6 ; and, the exchange at Hamburg on London at short being 13.41, it follows that gold is 0 59 per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of ex change at New York on London for bills at 69 days' sight is 110 per cent. ; and, the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23.40 per cent., it fol lows that the exchange is nominally 0.42 per cent. in favour of England ; and, aft er making allowtnce for charges of transport and difference of interest, the pre sent rate leaves a small profit on the importation of gold from the United States. NEW FOREST.—Ten thousand acres of land in various parts of the New Forest are about to be planted. About 0 acres of the New Forest were sold last week by the Government, and fetched about 2° l. 10 s. an acre. The land sold is on the outskirts of the forest, and is covered with furze. It has to be fenced by the purchasers. Among the numerous inventions which are being shown at the French Exhibition, the portable press of M. llaaueneau has particularly attracted the attention of the Emperor, who has watched the working of the machine with much interest ; and on his last visit with the Queen of England their Majeqies both expressed their satisfaction at witnessing the process by which any one can produce as many copies as he pleases of writings, eircularz?, mask, e.rawiLgs, witlA tha greatest iattity.• • - LATEST NEWS. PARIS, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 12, 8 A.M. The Moniteur announces that the Emperor will, on Thursday next, attend at noon in the Church of Notre Dame a Te Dettin, to be cele- brated as an act of thanksgiving for the capture of Sebastopol. The Ministers, the Senators, the Legislative Corps, the high functionaries, Sc., will also at tend. Gratuitous performances will be given in the theatres of Paris. At night the public buildings will be illumi nated. The Times Paris correspondent estimates the loss of the gallant Allies at from 10,000 to 12,000, and the Morning Post Paris cor respondent at about 15,000, including killed and wounded. FRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY. The Times Paris correspondent says :—" I am in formed that the official list of the losses of the French army during the terrible assaults of the Malakhoff and Sebastopol have not as yet been re ceived by the Government. It is stated, however, that three Generals, one a whom is General Ver det, have been killed ; that General Bosquet has been wounded in the shoulder by a musket ball ; that General Trochu was wounded in the leg ; and that Generals Bourbaki, La Motto Ronge, and Mcllinet have also, been hit. It was rumoured that General de Salles, who made the unsuccessful attack on the Central Bastion, was killed, but this is denied in well-informed quarters. General Mac- Mahon is also said to be wounded. In the absence of official intelligence we can only form a conjecture eus to the total number (including the English) hors de combat, and these would place it at from 10,000 to 12,000. It is not believed that we have any thing to apprehend on the Tchernaya, or that the Russian army will venture to attack us. I need hardly say that the reports of the Gene ral-in-Chief are awaited with the most intense interest. In the meantime, we may now be al lowed to ask—What has become of those eon fident predictions, those prophecies of evil, which declared Sebastopol impregnable, mocked at the immense labours of our armies, and believed in the failure of the allied forces against the bastions of the Russian fortresses ? Where are now the guns of the allies that were to be sold as old iron ; and those profound strategists, who thought that all our efforts should be directed to securing the safe embarkation of our troops before the enemy came down upon us in overwhelming numbers ? And above all, where are our Plenipotentiaries and our Ministers, extraordinary and ordinary, those profound diplomatists, who would accept a degro ding peace, to save us from the deeper humi liation of a precipitate retreat from the Crimea ; and his Majesty of Prussia, who was founding a system of neutrality, if not of hostility, to the Western Powers, on the failure of our armies before Sebastopol ? I have not heard that the Emperor of Auetria has yet written an autograph letter to his Imperial brother of France, congratu lating him on the brilliant success before Sebas topol. I have little doubt it will be forthcoming in due time." The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post says :—" The guns of the Invalides have at length proclaimed a great victory. The allied armies have, after beating the Russians in their pitched battles, driven the Czar's best troops from the strongest military position which a besieging army ever en countered. The telegraphic intelligence which reached Paris on Monday was somewhat confusing as regards dates, and even at the early part of the day left some doubt of a final success. Beyond the pub lished news other official despatches throw Kula , : light on the great struggle. They are necessarily brief. It appears that th© French storming parties, as well as our own, were on more than one occasion repulsed, but having one gained a firm footing in the ntlakhoff they kept. it, heroically and a great loss, until they were able to make use of their commanding position by turning their guns on the Russian reserves and defences behind the Redan and Mala khoff itself. The result of the attack was long dependent on the gallantry of the French, and they have earned immortal glory for their firmness. By holding their position, our own troops were enabled to return to the attack and successfully carry the points they were originally destined to capture. General Pelissier says, on the 9th, three in the morning I have passed the night in the midst of my troops ; I can assure you that everything has been blown up iu Karabelnaia, and according to what I have been able to see the s ime muse have been tho case before our attacks on the left. This immense success does the greatest honour to our troops.' "After this a despatch, dated daybreak, morning of the 10th, told us that the whole of the south side of Sehastopol was in possession of the allies. Tile enemy retired, leaving Sebastopol a heap of ruins, covered with dead bodies, according to the orders of the Czar. " General La Marmora tells us :—' During the night the Russians withdrew, after having burned the t wn, blown up the works of defence and the public edifices, and sunk their last vessels.' " It was a cruel and useless sacrifice of life on the part of the enemy; for, after having twice at tempted to drive the French out of the Malakhoff, prudence would have directed retreat. But I gather from the despatches that the enemy still lingered to destroy the town and blow up their works, during which operations they were under the fire of the allies, and probably hundreds fell completing the barbarian will of the Czar. " A sad list of losses will follow this brilliant tri umph ; the flash of victory is always succeeded by a temporary gloom ; the heart must weep out its sorrow, before it can grow proud beside the glory grave of the departed. In the streets of Paris, yes terday, I observed more than one of our fair coun trywomen hurrying along weeping and agitated. The questions were frequently put to me, " Was the Light Division engaged ? Was such and &Itch a regiment told off for the storming party ?" Alas ! I could give no satisfactory answer ; I was no wiser than the rest of the world. " Whilst the few were thus seeking to know, and yet dreading to learn, masses of the people eagerly crowded together at the corners of the streets to read the news. The scavenger and the dandy were closely pressed together, peeping between the heads of those who immediately stood before them, regardless of each other, requesting to hear the de spatch read aloud. When each one had satisfied himself, he tore his way from out the mob, with au expression of proud jay, exclaiming "En fin ! Vive l'Armoe ! Vive l'Empereur !" and other little broken fragments of speech, in which Se bastopol occurred very frequently. Here and there groups of Parisians might be seen discussing the battle, and speculating on the fate of the Russian army. Paris was alive with military pride. The people's heart beat as it used to beat when the great Napoleon's victories electrified heroic France. You saw in people's faces an ex pression of proud satisfaction ; it was the feeling of half a century past again animated by a Napoleon. The joy of this victory will bear reflection. The brave who survive are the conquerors not only of Alma, Inkerman, and Tchernaya ; they are the heroes of European civilisation. " Last evening all the public buildings of Paris were illuminated, as well as many private houses, and crowds of people thronged the public thorough fares. _ _ " I believe the Government is in possession of the amount of casualties up to a certain period. Va rious numbers are stated, but the best author I can quote says no less than 15,000 French are hors de combat. The losses we know are great, and when the nature of the operations are considered, pro bably this amount is not greater than might be ex pected. General Bosquet, I am told, is slightly wounded, and one general officer is killed." The Emperor yeAerday gave a private audience to General Count do Loewenhielm, Envoy- Extra ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of Sweden and Norway, who presented to his Majesty a private letter from the Prince Royal of Sweden and Nor way.

A letter from St. Petersburg, of the 23d ult., in the Austrian, Gazette, says :—" The last despatch from Count do If esselrode, so frequently alluded to of late, is dated the 10th August. The Russian diplomatist gives an exact view of the losses which the two parties have had 'to sustain in . the war, which menaces, he says, Turkey with complete ruin. He afterwards endeavours to prove that Russia entertains no fear of seeing her men, money, or resources exhausted, as the Western Powers appear to imagine. His conviction on this point, he says, is founded not only on statistical returns and well-known facts, but on the patriotism of the people and their moral and political sentiments. The Emperor Alexander,' says M. de Nesselrode, has received from his father as a sacred inheri tance the mission to combat for the honour of his people. All Russia is convinced of that. The reigning sovereign has changed, but the will re • mains the same. The Resolution to oppose to the aggression of the enemy all the resistance possible has remained immovably the same as before.' Count de Nesselrode, however, allows it to be seen in his despatch that Russia is very far from reject ing peace, and that 'peace only depends on the conditions which may be laid clown to her. Rus sia,' he says, will be able to find in her national sentiment, and in the force which she derives from it, the means of opposing a sufficient resistance to her enemies, until the moment at which they shall be disposed to enter into an honourable arrange ment.'" AUSTRIA. The German, Journal of Frankfort states from Vienna, that the Hospodar of Wallachia h as re quested Austria to exercise her influence with Wurtemberg and other German States, to induce them to allow 50,000 German families to emigrate to Wallachia. The Government of that province engages to grant them land from the property of the religious foundations, and to exempt them from taxes for 10 years. A letter from Vienna, of the 7th, says :—" The Turkish Ambassador Arif Effendi left yesterday for Constantinople, accompanied by his son, and will remain there to the end of December. Before leaving he had a conference with Count Buol. Prince Karagiorgievic, son of Prince Alexander, of Servia, arrived here yesterday from Paris, and is shortly to proceed to Belgrade. At Paris he was decorated with the Legion of Honour. The Hunga rian fortresses of Munkarz and Leopolstadt are no longer to be considered fortresses, but are to be em ployed as prisons. Baron de Ba.cla is to be re placed during his absence by Baron de Werner, The Prince of Hess's regiment of infantry, which was on the frontiers of Wallachia, and which was to enter the Principalities, has received counter orders, awl is to go to Bruna and Olmutz." A private letter from Vienna states that the negotiations relating to the construction of a canal, with a view to avoid the mouth of the Sulina, are in a fair way of success. The construction of this canal is to be effected, it says, at the joint expense of Austria, France, England, and eventually of the Porte. A letter from Munich, of the 7th, says that in consequence of the continued illness of the King, the opening of the Chambers cannot take place be fore the 15th, his Mqjesty being desirous to make the opening in person. The Senate of Hamburg has passed a vote of thanks to the officers and crew of the French ves sels the Salve, the Arquebuse, and the Sainte Barbe, temporarily stationed at Cuxhaven, for having, on the 22d ult., assisted in extinguishing a violent conflagration at Ritzebuttel. Baron Kindiner, the Rwsian Envoy to the Swiss Confederation, presented his credentials to N. Ferrer, the President, on he 7th. On this occa sion Baron Kindiner is said to have expresSedl the desire, in the name of his Government, that Swit zerland should not in the present crisis depart froth the policy of neutrality imposed upon her by Euro pean treaties. The Piemonte of Turin states from Venice that the number of persons arrested in that city and province from political motives during the month of August last was 414. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 6th have arrived. The Queen had sent 10,00 reals to the sufferers from cholera in the province of Ciudad Real (the real is worth five sous). The Gazette denies that the works for the canalisation of the Ebro have been suspended, and states that the Government has taken the neces sary measures for continuing them. The Queen had approved of the survey made by a Commis sion of Portuguese and Spanish engineers for the passage of the Madrid and Lisbon Railway across the frontiers. A letter says :—" The troops which were recently sent from this city to Barcelona have received orders to cease their march, and to remain where they now are. This proves that the Govern ment has no apprehension with respect to Cata lonia." STATE OF TRADE. (F obi, the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCIIESTER, Sept. 11.—The excitement produced by the gratifying intelligence from the Crimea, has mani fested itself not only in the ringing of the cathedral and other bells, and in the exhibition of flags along our principal streets, but also in a cheerful and animated tine of feeling on 'Change. This feeling has, how ever, been expended mainly upon political affairs, and but little upon commercial matters ; so that those spinners and manufacturers who come to market expecting a rise of prices to ensue upon the fall of Sebastopol, have found reason to doubt whether there is any necessary connection between the two events. Each class of producers has attempted to obtain an advance—spinners 4fi to i. per lb., and manu facturers 11d. per piece ' • but the buyers ha ve s h own no disposition to fall in with the demand thus made upon them ; and yet they are not entirely uninfluenced even in their character of traders by the news which moves society to its foundations. It will be recollected that the market at large became sensibly tamer in the latter pert of last week, affordin g the buyer a sli g ht a d van t age in price. What was thenlost may be said to have been recovered to-day, so far, at least, as yarns are concerned ; both the home consumers and the exporters being now willing to operate, to a limited extent, at the quota tions of this day week, which, at that time, they were showing a backwaniness to pay. Altogether, this may make a practical difference of Ad. per pound. Soine sanguine persons say it is more than this ; and, taking exceptional instances, it may be so, but not if we make that wide comparison, which alone can give us anything like a just -idea of the state of the market. The greatest tendency to rise is found in the medium counts of pineops and cop twist (about 32's). On the whole, spinners have effected but £l.' moderate amount of sales. The India houses have made less attempt at business than was expected. The buyers for the Levant are quiet, and the Germans cautious. In the department of goods, the state of things is much the same as in that of yarns ; what difference there is being rather in favour of the latter. Long cloths, T cloths, printers, and narrow shirtings, of various qualities, are still the articles most easily sold. ROCEIDALE, Sept. 10.—We have had rather a quiet market in flannels today, and without any change in prices. Pieces are taken off the market about as fast as they are made, and there is not yet any accumulation of stocks. Wool is steady in price as well as demand. HunpEasFIELD, Sept. 11.—The important news from Sebastopol received this morning has unquestionably had a favourable influence upon our market. While the attendance of buyers has not been larger than usual, there has been more activity visible throughout the morning, both in the Cloth-ball and manufacturers' shops, and plain goods of all kinds have met with readier sale. Several extensive purchases of black, steel, and other mixture doeskins have been made in the hall, and this description of Hud dersfield goods has hung on hand now for some time, as we have from week to week reported. Fancy trouserings in new styles, such as have been previously described, have also been in demand, although the de mand for bordered goods do not appear to be quite so brisk as hitherto, many of the tailors cutting the borders to waste. We have as yet no improvement to report in the state of the country trade. In styles tor fancy trouserings we have nothing new to report. We have pleasure in noticing that the operative classes generally, throughout this district, are now in more regular and constant employment. TOE VACANT ALDERNIANSIIIP OP FARRINGDON WARD WTTIIIN.-- Upwards of sixty signatures, in addition ; to those already received, were added yesterday to the re quisition soliciting Deputy Eagleton to permit himself to be put in nomination for the Ward of Farringdon Within, in the room of Thomas Kelly, Esq.,.the late Alderman (deceased). Mr. Benjamin Phillips (of the firm of Fandel and Phillips) was named as a candidate, in opposition to Deputy Eagleton ; but yesterday, in consequence of the large number of signatures received by the friends of the worthy deputy, that gentleman, in the most handsome manner, withdrew Efrom the field. The Lord Mayor has not at present named the day for the election. SPIRIT Or THk PUBLIC JOURNALS. THE FALL OF SEBASTOPOL. ( Prom the Times of this day. ) The first question which presents itself to our consideration, after we have given utterance to those feelings of exultation and of gratitude which the glorious termination of the siege of Sebastopol excites at this moment throughout the empire, re lates to the military consequences of this victory, and to the strategical measures best calculated to bring the campaign and the war to a speedy and triumphant termination: A tremendous blow has been struck at the military power and fame of Rus sia, and her naval forces in the Black Sea have been annihilated. The courage, the perseverance, and the incessant labours of the allied armies have al ready disposed of the arguments of those who con tended that Sebastopol was impregnable until it should be invested, and that the Russian soldiers were invincible within itsredoubts. It now appears from Admiral Bruat's despatch that the mortar boats of both squadrons took part in the attack, and threw shells against the marine batteries, so that from the heights of Inkerman to Streletzka Bay the whole fortress was encompassed with a storm of fire, and an enormous number of men must have been engaged in the works. Neverthe less, upon the final establishment of General Bosquet's division of the French army in the Malakhoff Tower, Prince Gortschakoff instantly proceeded to execute a pre-arranged plan for the destruction and evacuation of the town. All that night the harbour was illuminated by the lurid glare of burning ships, and from time to time the explosion of vast magazines rent asunder enormous piles of masonry; while an all-devour ing conflagration swept like the scourge of Heaven over the devastated city. Sebastopol has pe rished, like Moscow, by the hands of her de fenders, while her successful assa il ants w it nesse d the awful spectacle unscathed. Means of retreat bad been secured by a long bridge of rafts across the great harbour, and for many hours large masses of troops were removed by this passage to the northern side ; but at 8 o'clock in the morning of the..9th this communication was stopped, the whole of the works and town being then evacuated. If, as is probable, any of the Russians remained on the south bank after that hour, they must either have perished in the fire or fallen into the hands of the besiegers.. About 500 of the wounded, we know, remained in the Fort St. Paul, and for them an armistice was asked ; but, with their accustomed indifference to the preservation of life and property, the Russians were determined to destroy the city rather than capitulate, and they executed their design. _ _ The position of Prince Gortschakoff's army, after the main body had effected its retreat across the harbour, was, therefore, as follows :—His extreme right, consisting of the corps most actively engaged in the defence of the place, rests upon the Sever naia work, or Star Fort, and holds the strongly in trenched positions on the north shore, where, no doubt, considerable preparations have been made for this emergency. His centre covers the Belbek, and is protected iu front by the fieldworks thrown up along the ridge of Inkerman. His left wing consists of Liprandi's corps, occupying the ground from Mackenzie's Farm to the heights of Aitoder on the Bakshi-Serai road. No attempt was made by the relieving army under Liprandi to effect a di version during the assault of the Bth, and the severe defeat of the 16th of August appears to have satisfied the enemy that the lines of the Tcher naya were not to be carried. But the result of the general assault and the occupation of the southern side by the Allies entirely change; the strategical positions of the cinnhatants, and alse the objects of the campaign. The struggle for the possession of Sebastopol is at an end. That prize is in our hands, and, as the defence of the fortress and - the harbour was the grand object of the Pussians, they have nothing left on that spot to contend for. The nu re occupation of the north side of the port is a barren advantage, for, though it might hold a garrison, it cannot shelter a defeated army ; and it is obvious that, after the failure of the main object, all the ability and. generalship (,f the Russians will be required to save the whole body of their forces in the Crimea from destruction. We therefore infer that the northern forts will either be held for a time by a limited garrison, or, more probably, al togeti er abandoned, in the hope of saving the army. Neva- was an army in a more critical position. They are confined wii hin a penin sula which affords them no other fortified position, no sustenance for troops, and no water beyond a certain line. The sea, covered with hostile ves sels, surrounds three sides of this theatre of war, and the fourth i- separated from the Russian base of operations by steppes and marshes. The allied armies already occupy strong positions at Eupatoria and Yenikale, which can be reinforced in a few hours by sea, so as to threaten the Russians in their flank and rear ; and while it is impossible for the enemy to hold his ground in the south of the Crimea—for which, indeed, there is now no further object—to retreat in this season across the country is a formidable undertaking, while the loss of a battle in the open held would be absolute destruc tion. The Russians are in a trap, from which the Tchongar road and the Isthmus of Perekop are thu only means of escape, and even there their com munieations may possibly be intercepted. No doubt all these contingencies have been fore seen ; Prince Gortschakoff's plan of campaign has long since been made ; judging, therefore, from the accustomed tactics of the Russian army, as well as from the extreme difficulty of his present position, we incline to the opinion that he will adopt the course of a general and • immediate retreat. To hold the Crimea without Sebastopol, and even after the harbour of Sebastopol itself has been transformed by conquest into the base of operations of the invading armies, would be a boot less and unprofitable task, and the danger is greatly aggravated by the fact that the whole body of the Allies, with unlimited means of naval tran sport at their command, will shortly be at libert3 to advance upon any part of the peninsula, which is accessible from the coast. • These immedi ate consequences of their own success in the siege operations must have been considered by the Al lied Generals, and the moment is- now arrived when they may proceed to open the campaign of which the reduction of Sebastopol was the first preliminary. That field operations of this nature have long been contemplated by the Allied Govern ments is obvious from the large cavalry force they have continued to send to the Crimea. The British army alone can bring upwards of 3,000 sabres and lances into the field, and the French cavalry is still more numerous and impatient of the inaction to which it has hitherto been condemned. Hitherto the contest in the Crimea has been confined to one single object, and, with the exception of the action of the 20th of 'September on the Alma, and the flank march to Balaklaya, it has been a war with out a single tactical movement. General Pelissier has shown, in our humble opinion, very admirable military qualities since he assumed the command.„ and he has been ably supported by General Simp son ; but the present state of our affairs deserves to call forth abilities of a still higher and more bril liant order. The Russian army in the Crimea is probably not superior to the forces of the Allies in numbers, and it is immeasurably inferior to them in resources and supplies, as well as in those moral qualities which at once constitute and enhance the prestige of victory. On every occasion on which they have encountered an enemy in this war— whether Turks, French, English, or Sardinians —the fortune of war has deserted the Russian eagles. For them to advance is impossible, for the whole coast is guarded by - the enemy, and no Russian vessel floats on those waters. The strong hold in which the Czars had accumulated during the last two reigns an incalculable amount of war like stores for the subjugation of the East has been reduced to a blood-stained ruin by the troops who were glad to escape with life from its burning walls; and the question on which the attention of Europe is now fixed is no longer the fate of Sebastopol, but how is the Russian army to escape from the Crimea, or to maintain itself there ? We trust that no considerations whatever will prevent the Allied Generals from giving the most vigorous and imme diate effect to the great advantage they have won. Beyond the time absolutely required for the re moval of the wounded no armistice should be con ceded. To give the campaign its full effect its success must now be rendered, absolute and com plete. The Russians are a people who will deny to the last that any advantage has be en ga i ne d over them, and Prince Gortschakoff boasts in his ac count even in this sanguinary defeat that ho was extremely successful in carrying off his army. Fighting, as they are, in closed lists, without the means of escape, the defeated Russian army should be compelled to lay down its arms, or to fight a general action, which would crown the series of our successes by a still more decisive victory. The peninsula itself is besieged and well-nigh invested by our fleets and armies, and if the command of a single road be lost, the whole line of retreat, and the only line by which supplies and communica tions can reach the Russians, is gone. Suoh we take to be the relative position of the belligerents in the Crimea, and, with the means of action at the disposal of the French and English Generals, we have confident hopes of a glorious result. ( From the Daily News of this day.) - - There is a cool, self-complacent effrontery in the bulletins and despatches of Prince Gortschakoff that has never been surpassed. He can make a defeat a theme of congratulation ; and, when he has nothing else to brag of, will boast of the alac rity and prudence he has displayed in running away. Ho appooxo to think that his InaP o44l Was. ter will be reconciled to his recent loss, by being told that " the enemy found nothing on the south ! ern side but blood-stained ruins." He announces that " the passage of the garrison from the southeru to the northern part was accomplished with extra ordinary success," with as jaunty an air as if he were talking of an advance, and' not of a retreat_ A man of this character—who is equally proud of drubbing and being drubbed—does not take muea pains to conceal his losses. It is true Prince Gertr chakoff—or the officials at St. Petersburg whop_w" lish as much of his reports as is deemed expedient-- • does not go the length of telling explicitly liof many of his men have been put hors de combat, but he gives a tolerable inkling of it. He aek ncsw. ledges to the loss of a hundred men while crossing the bridge ; and adds that he was obliged to leave • cc five hundred men grievously w ounded on t he southern side." If the wounded, whom it was found impossible to carry along with the retreating army, amounted to so many, those who were ab le to accompany it, or who were se nt away before the retreat commenced, must have been much more numerous ; and if 100 men were killed in crossing the bridge, the number of those who fell during the bombardment and in the assault must have been much greater. The epithet, too , which t Prince applies to the fire of the allies (feud'enfer_ —infernal fire) would seem to indicate th at hi s nerves had been a little shaken by it. It is equi valent to what decorous Englishmen would call an admission that the Allies had made the place t °° hot to hold him ; or, as more plain-spoken Pe i~l ple might say, that they had played the dev with him. Prince Gortschakoff's despatch in; plies that the whole of the southern-side has be , abandoned by the Russians. This is a point as which some—to us unaccountable—doubts we _f: expressed in certain quarters during the earl , ' Pa L i, of yesterday. The croakers would have i t W a il only the town and the Kai abelnaia suburb ha s I s evacuated. But, even before Prince Gortscha ke report was received, all doubts were cleared 11 1 3 : 1 1/ the explicit statement of Admiral Bruat _ approached, this morning, the Q uaran tine batte rie l on board the Brandon, and ascertained mysel,f i th : they are now evacuated. They have just uf, i ' r ii e up. Our soldiers have left their trenches, an d spreading themselves in groups over the fortide tions of the town, which seem to be totally de serted." allie d The blow which has just bee n s t r uck by the • b, armies is sufficient to insure our ultimate trig This if it is promptly and vigorously followed is what the English public must now look to ~11 insist upon. There is a natural indolence iodif., men that prompts them to withdraw from a n With ficult undertaking provided they can do g 0 e ta' eclat ; and our Ministers—no disrespect tu is meant—are, after all, mere men. Besides', t an will immediately be besieged by all who ha ve . b i e , . interest in letting Russia down as softly as Pe eel trot a There will be renewed offers of mediation.,, o f Austria ; and the Aberdeenites, and the whe,` e the Peace-at-any-Price party, will be brea7 3i . out into choral chaunts in honour of au to Diagil mous forbearance in the hour of victory, an' to demonstrations that we can now "put an en co the war with honour." It is not enough that vve fit ; do so with honour ; we must do so with Pr e t. ve we must gain something by the efforts we eats made. When the French and English Goverton." o f recognised the four points *as a possible b ag pea negotiation, they expressly reserved to them° Do a right to modify their demands in accorda with the progress of warlike events--that is, t t e ll ' oit crease their demands if success should put it ia_ ano li power to exact more. Russia is now in a "' t n worse condition to stand out for easy terin g i r it she was then. We say this in no vindictive tiT,cot towards Russia, but with a view to the perina.u n o peace and security of Europe. It is our hu sl . . o , to render the Government at St. Peters i bt7 o er• innocuous as possible. We must not all" that selves to be deluded by sunh vague tall► as a d. " the war was commenced to diminish the aa c , o 0 ancy of Russia in the Black Sea." That raakim o ja anything, or nothing. The war was undertzwe o r the first place to compel Russia to abstain fr om t he propriating territory that of right belonge d _fotO Porte, and from usurp)ig a de facto suzu'mitsb• over the Sultan ; and, in the second place, to — r s of lish the general princip'e. that the Great VII to r Europe will no longer tol -rate the wresting' e` e o f ritory from the weak 1 y the strong by f° l % arml.

But there are f tracts of territory subject to the Governme nt , ° r Dea, Petersburg, which the Russians have not ye ti "`" e rea to consider as their own; these might safely be se.forto from the Empire. Again, it has been the 1 1 ,a 1 0 t he practice of Russia, when victorious, to ma z es of conquered bear in a great measure the ex.P''',a io it! the war ; she could not reasonably conill'3so, having "her own measure meted to he r were France, England and Turkey to exa r e g l o ssio, damnify at the close of the present war. be wit ` is amerced in one or other of these war s.th the be chary of again provoking a collision IV 01 01 1 Western Powers ; if she is let off more ea silY e ' s uo)e comparative impunity will encourage her to is her tortuous courses without delay.
