PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The Phiegeton arrived at Kamiesh on the 18th ult., having been at Odessa to effect an exchange of prisoners. She had several French soldiers and ten English officers on board. Among the latter were those of the Cossack, who fell into the hands of the Russians at Hango Head. They had been three months on their way from Sweaborg to Odessa. The commander of the Phlegeton reports that the Russians seem to be preparing fresh means of defence in the neighbourhood of Odessa and Okshakoff. The road from Perekop to Nicolaieff is being covered by numerous works. A. letter from an officer at Sebastopol, in the Constitutionnel, says i It was a corporal of the Ist Zouaves who planted the first French standard on Malakhoff. His name is Eugene Libaut, of Paris. It was General MacMahon's standard of the Ist division the hoisting of which was to be the signal for the attacks on the other points. The General gave him the standard with his own hands, with the words : This is the signal-flag ;go ! ' Libaut was the first to spring out of the trenches. While get- ting into the enemy's ditch he was struck by a stone, but, notwithstanding the pain, he scaled the parapet in the midst of a bail storm of projectiles of every kind, and at length planted the flag around which our brave soldiers soon flocked, and maintained their ground." The same letter says : "Eighteen women who remained in the town were made prisoners. At first it was thought they had been left behind to fire the mines, but it was soon found that such was not the case ; they are treated with every respect." The important measure just decided on by the Prefect of Police for regulating the sale of butchers' meat in Paris is commented on by several of our contemporaries, and in every case highly applauded. The new plan is of course only an experiment, but there can be no doubt that what ever may be the difficulties of carrying into execu tion the system thus introduced, the advantages accruing from it to the public will be very decided and most gratefully received. Hitherto the price of meat in the butchers'-shops has rarely been re duced in proportion to the value of the live animals sold at the two great markets of Sceaux and Poissy. If the quotations fell at these places of sale, the profit was exclusively for the butchers, who still kept up their prices, and never for the consumers. The same was the case when by any particular fa vour the authorities interfered, and endeavoured to furnish some r eme dy t o th e enormous p r i ces which pressed so heavily on the working classes. The Constitution and Saint Louis frigates left Toulon yesterday, with troops, stores, and provi sions for the Crimea. BOURSE, Oct. 3.—Stock has been rather offered to -day, and prices are somewhat lower than yester 'Flay. Railway Shares are also lower. The follow lug are the last quotations : _ Cash. fr. e.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 24.—The Turkish Con tingent is at last actually moving, and a portion of it has already sailed for Varna, whence it pro ceeds to Shumla, there to be stationed for the present. The expectation is that the force will there be made up to 20,000 men—some say even to 25,000 ; but, considering the small sympathy between our Ambassador and the Ottoman Go vernment, and the influences now understood to be paramount, it must be deemed doubtful whether such a completion of the projected corps d'armee will be so immediate as the sanguine suppose. Since the accession of Mehemet Ali Pacha to the Cabinet English interest is clearly not in the as cendant. Through him Omer Pacha, who is known to be strongly opposed to the formation of the Anglo-Turkish force in question, does every thing in his power to prevent the scheme being carried out. It is in great measure owing to the Turkish General's intrigues that after much ex pense and many wasted months it is only at the close of the fine season, when campaigning is about to become i m p oss ibl e , th a t a scan ty 8,000 men b egin to embark for Varna, to go into winter quarters. General Storks has succeeded in finding quarters in this neighbourhood for the whole of the English c avalry, which however is not yet expected. Within the last few days about 6,000 French infantry have Passed through the Bosphorus on their way to the C rimea. On the other hand, there have been con siderable arrivals of French wounded from Sebas topol. The state of our hospitals presents no novelty. A. number of invalids of various regiments were shipped on Saturday for England. None of the recently wounded have come down here. It is Possible that Miss Nightingale may proceed this week to the Crimea on a visit to the hospitals there, which must now be pretty full. ODESSA. In Le Nord, of Brussels, we find the following letter from Odessa ODESSA, Sept. 17.—We are still without detailed news' from Sebastopol, but I ought to mention to you the impression produced in our districts by the news of the evacuation of the southern part of the city. I cannot conceal from you that in the first moment the effect of this news was immense. The profoundest dejection was stamped in every face, and betrayed real grief. By degrees we have recovered from this momentary depression ; and the more we have been able to examine matters with calmness the more have tranquillity and hope returned. In our case it is the heart that has been struck first. As soon as reason had resumed her empire we have been able to reflect that the situation is not changed ; that it is not entirely to our disadvan tage, and that the honour of our arms has been in no way compromised. We withdrew of cur own accord to the north side, from whence we con tinue to defend the ruins of Sebastopol ; men, arms, baggage, ammunition—all were conveyed across in the greatest order, with the greatest dignity. General Osten-Sacken was the last to pass the bridge. It is with a feverish impatience that we look for further details of this sanguinary war, and of an event that doubtless is about to produce a great change in the conduct of the war. If we regret the pretty houses and the magnifi cent bastions of Sebastopol, bedewed with so much noble blood, we are, on the other hand, relieved to a .certain extent fro m th e i mmense we i g ht th a t h as hitherto oppressed our breasts. Our brave sol diers will hence be no longer obliged to offer them selves up as a holocaust, and patiently await, with useless heroism, the death that sought them out, often even beneath the mantlets, and always when least expected. It was a wholesale slaughter, a butchery, which military honour commanded them to withstand, and which has enhanced the remark able qualities of our soldi ers , b u t th e cessa ti on o f which may be considered as a benefit. Our men will now b e a bl e to defend themselves in close fight, and to sell their lives at a high cost. Out of the 10,000 seamen who had undertaken, with their officers, th e h eroic defence of Sebastopol, ' no more than a fourth p art survive, and some six or seven officers. In order that every one. of us may be able to salute in the streets the survivors some distinctive mark should be a ccor d ed to them • it is not until the hand of history shall h ave en graved the acts and deeds of those 10,000 heroes that we shall be able to appreciate their sufferings and deeds. For the present we are only acquainted with, and we ought only to occupy ourselves with, one thing, the debt of that blood, the voice o f which cries aloud for vengeance, and which renders the Crimea ten times more dear to us, ten times more worth defending. We all of us here, and throughout Russia, understand that the war, the real war, is but about to commence. We expect to see it continue for s evera l y ears , a nd are prepared for it. These sentiments, of which I am but the inter preter, are those which prevail in our towns along the coast, and consequently the most exposed to the vengeance of our enemies. These towns are chiefly inhabited by merchants, men not usually warlike, and whose interests suffer most by war. But here, thank Heaven, the shopman has not lost his manhood, and we prize our honour more than our purses. A - letter from Odessa, of the 19th, says :—" Offi cial accounts state that the Emperor will return to this place to leave for the interior of the Empire : but some persons pretend that he will go to the Crimea to encourage the army to perseverance. General Annenkoff, Governor-General of the Cri mea, has interdicted the sending of merchandise and provisions into the province —the stocks on hand being already so large, he says, that they cannot be disposed of. On the other hand the march of reinforcements for the Crimea has been stopped. All these circumstances cause it to be supposed that our affairs are not going on well in the Crimea. Travellers and couriers are our only sources of information, and they tell us that the main body of our army is concentrated from Sim feropol and Batchisarai to Buvankoi and Avonkoi, and that strong detachments of cavalry have ad vanced from Larabus by Les and Tulat, on the road to Eupatoria."

The writer of a letter from Seskar, bearing date Sept. 23, states that he had a very interesting con versation a few days since with a Swedish gentle man of high family connexions, and holding an important public office. He said, " What do we (northern nations) rare for Russian preponderance in the south ; it is her preponderance in the north that hangs over us like a nightmare, and if the Allies do not beat Russia in the north as they have done in the south, the Baltic will be a Russian lake, and Sweden and Denmark will be absorbed. If the Allia3 would guarantee Finland and the Aland Isles to the Swedes, and enter into treaties to this effect, and maintain the integrity of Sweden and Denmark, we would cheerfully join them ; nay, we should be rejoiced and glory in the al liance, and with our flotilla of gun-boats, and 60,000 troops, besides the Danish forces, Russia would soon bite the dust." Now this appears to be common sense ; but for the Danes or Swedes to come without this guarantee would be murder. If we deserted them they would be at the mercy of the Northern bear. Count Bernstorff and Count Hatzfeld, Prussian Ambassadors to the Courts of London and Paris, have arrived at Coblenz, summoned, it is said, by the King of Prussia, in order to inform him ver bally of the actual state of affairs, and the present intentions of the Cabinets of Paris and London. It is rumoured that the French and British Am bassadors to Foreign Courts have received from their respective Cabinets a circular respecting the present political position of the Allies since the taking of Sebastopol. A letter from Brazil states that two Greek mer chants of that town went mad on learning the fall of Sebastopol, and that another at Bucharest was struck with apoplexy for the same reason. The same letter states that three Greek and one Swedish vessel have foundered at the mouth of Sulina, and rendered the passage still more difficult ; there being now no more than one fathom of water over the bar. The Madrid journals of the 28th ult. announce that the Duke de la Victoria had been to the Escu rial to pay a visit to the Queen. Some of them pretend that the object of his visit was to offer his resignation, but those which speak in the name of the government say that it was only to congratu late her Majesty on her recovery. A letter from Vienna, of the 29th ult., says : " The Austrian ambassador in London, Count Col loredo, has arrived here from his country seat, and will probably return in a week to his post. Prince Anatole Demidoff, attache to the Russian embassy, is to leave Vienna on account of ill health, and go to Naples. The King of Prussia was expected at Stuttgard on the 2d, on a visit to the King of Wurtemberg. A letter from Berlin states that the Bank intends this week raising its rate of discount from 4 to 5 per cent. The Wallachian Government has prohibited to the end of the year the exportation of tallow and of oxen. The Count de Chambord is at present on a visit to his mother, the Duchess de Berry, at the chateau of Bronsee, in Styria. ADDRESS OF ALEXANDER 11. TO THE INHABITANTS OF MOSCOW. ST. PETERSBURG, SEPT. 24. On the 20th, at noon, the Emperor Alexander, accompanied by the Grand Prince Michael, left Moscow and set out for Nicolaieff, after issuing the following rescript to the military Governor-General and A.D.C. General Count Zakrevski, for the citizens of Moscow :-- " Count Arsenius Andreievitch,—From the time that I ascended the throne of my ancestors it has been my heartfelt wish to visit the dear and trusted ancient capital of my empire —the city in which I was born and received baptism under the protection of the relics of the worker of miracles, St. Alexis of Moscow. Having now fulfilled this wish, I have experienced from the inhabitants of Moscow a re ception which has caused great gladness to myself and my whole house—a reception such as Russia has at all times given to her sovereigns. I commia sion you to express my heartiest acknowledgments to all classes in Moscow. My haupiness would have been complete had not preceding events clouded these fortunate moments. It is already known, by my order of the day addressed to the Russian armies, that the garrison of Sebastopol, after an unexampled siege of eleven months, after deeds of prowess previously unheard of, after a self-denial, and the repulse of six obstinate attacks, has passed over to the north side of the town, leav ing to the enemy only bloody ruins. Sebastopol's heroic defenders have achieved all that human strength could perform. Past and present event I accept as the inscrutable will of Providence, who chastens Russia with heavy hours of trial. But Russia's trials were once far heavier, and God the Lord sent down to her his all-bountiful and invisi ble aid. Wherefore let us also now put our trust in Him : He will defend Russia, the orthodox, who has drawn the sword for the just cause, the cause of Christianity. The incessant proofs of all and every one's readiness to sacrifice property, family, and the last drop of their blood for main taining the integrity of the empire and the national honour, delight me. It is precisely in these na tional feelings and efforts that I find consolation an:l strength, and from my whole heart, indissolu bly blended with my loyal and gallant people, I, with trust in God's help and grace, repeat the words of Alexander I.: Where truth is, there also is God l' I remain unalterably well inclined towards you. " Moscow, Sept. 20." "ALEXANDER. LETTER FROM OMER PACHA TO HIS OLD TUTOR. We read in Voss's Gazette of the 27th ult. :—" Major Graff, formerly tutor to Omer Pacha, died a few day. since at Gosport, at the age of 74. At the end of last year he received the following letter from his former pupil: Rustchuk, Dec. 18.—Honoured Monsieur Graff,—l have this moment heard by a letter from one of the friends of my youth, Captain Kekik, that you are quietly passing your old days as a retired officer at Gospich, and I cannot, on receiving this pleasing news, resist the pleasure of addresing you a few lines. You will ex cuse my not conforming to a certain ceremonial, but addressing you in the terms of a pupil grateful to his old master. It would be very agreeable to me to give you a sketch of my life so full of events, but the want of time will not allow my doing so now. lam at present the generalissimo of all the troops which are in European Turkey ; in a few days I shall proceed with a part of those troops to the Crimea, and I hope that, there also, the God of Victory will be, as usual, favourable to me. For the last 14 years I have been continually engaged in war, and, nevertheless, I am still robust and in good health. I have never ceased to devote myself to the study of military science ; and, in the midst of all my undertakings, I have been attended with the greatest, good fortune that a man can aspire to. My breast is adorned with seven Turkish and four foreign decora tions, these latter being the Cross of the Legion of Honour, the English order of the Bath, the Russian order of St. Anne, and the Spanish order of Isabella, all four of the first class, and I have besides rendered myself worthy before the enemy of three sabres of honour enriched with diamonds. All that, Monsieur Graff, I owe to you, as it was you who gave me the first notions of the military art, and I express to you my warmest thanks for it. lam most anxious to send you some object as a slight proof of my gratitude, but I am travelling, and cannot realise my desire. I consequently take the liberty of sending you 200 golden ducats (nearly 1001.), with a request to you not to be offended at my doing so, but to employ that sum in the purchase of some remembrance of me. I have given that sum to M. de Rowler, the Austrian consul in Bulgaria, who will hand it you, as well as my picture. Accept, M. Graff, the expression of the consideration with which I am your grateful " 'OMER M. P. MICHEL LATTAS.'

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Liverpool cotton market, yesterday, closed very heavily, and most sorts of American qualities were id. per lb. lower than last week. Brazils were id. per lb.. cheaper, but other sorts unchanged. The sales were 6,000 to 7,000 bales (500 for ex port and 500 on speculation); comprising 100 Pernam and Maranham, at sid. to 6id. ; 50 Bahia, at bid. ; 500 Egyptian, at 6d,. to Bd. ; and 1,000 Surat, at 41. to 4id. ; and 160 Sea Islands, at 101 d. to ls. 3d. per lb. The Railway Share Mar ket was quiet, but steady yesterday at a slight advance upon Monday's prices. The last commercial advices from New York contained the local Board of Trade Returns, and they are considered to be satisfactory. The im ports of specie into the United States during the quarter ending June 30 represented 684,481 dols., the free goods 15,098,990 dols., and the dutiable 46,614,192 dols., making a total of 62,327,663 dols. The shipments of specie during the same period were to the extent of 19,947,803 dols., merchandise 41,287,039 dols., foreign 7,668,572 dols., giving an aggregate of 68,902,414 dols. From these figures it will be observed that the value of exports ex ceeded that of the imports by 6,504,751 dole., and the result appears to be rather an unusual one, as the exportation at the particular period which these returns embrace is generaly limited. Every one was surprised yesterday afternoon to hear of the stoppage of Messrs. De Lisle and Co., the well-known merchants, connected with the Brazils and Canada, and acting likewise as agents for several of the Jersey and Guernsey Banks. Large advances to their correspondent in Canada, who had failed to send the remittances expected, and who have not fulfilled their engagements entered into some time back, are the immediate causes of the suspension ; and, although Messrs. De Lisle have as much as 100,0001. at command, it was felt that there would be a useless sa crifice of property, now that the hope is abandoned of any considerable liquidation of the moneys due on the other side of the Atlantic, if they continued business. It is extremely satisfactory to learn that the agencies of the banks named will not in the least be affected, and that already arrangements have been made for protecting their drafts by Messrs. Hankey, the Lon don bankers. The total debts of Messrs. De Lisle are stated at 300,0001. to 400,0001., and there will be an early dividend, as a large portion of the assets in hands consist of hard cash. One reason why this failure was the more unexpected is that at the very time of their stoppage Messrs. De Lisle had money deposited with the discount houses on " call," and it was only upon the honourable con-' elusion that their total assets would be insufficient to meet their liabilities their determination to stop forthwith was adopted. The demand for money in discount circles cer tainly does not increase from any activity in trade, and it would be consolatory, no doubt, if it did. There is, however, another source which promises to take away our surplus money much faster, and for much less legitimate purposes, namely, to keep alive the fictitious cheapness of money at Paris, to push on at this inconvenient period Austrian rail way schemes, and, worse than all, to furnish the sinews of war to Russia. If ever there was an occasion for legitimate interference on the part of the Bank of England it is here, and, instead of distressing the industrious artisan or the enter prising merchant at home, it would be as well to look after such foreign houses as by various expe dients are lending themselves to the abstraction of our bullion for purposes which cannot be con sidered beneficial to this country. We know full well the course that should be adopted if the Bank directors had the nerve to carry it out, and this is neither more nor less than refusing, on any terms, the discount of foreign bills that are sup posed to emanate from the engagements above re ferred to. Very heavy markets still rale in the Stock-Ex change, and the depression which occurred yester day afternoon, when Messrs. De Lisle's failure be came known, has not yet been recovered. It is stated, nevertheless, that the public are buying small parcels, and that if the bankers ceased their large sales there would speedily be a rally. While specie is sent away faster than it arrives we can hardly look, however, for the cessation spoken of ; but we believe it is in the power of the Bank of England to check it by other and more effectual means than simply raising its discount charge. Consols were first quoted 87/, but have since been 87k, f, both for money and time. The speculators must be heavy Bears at present, but they have in their favour the support derived from money sales, and whatever the " chapter of acci dents" may bring about between this and the 12th instant. Exchequer Bills are par to 4s. discount, and India Bonds par to 2s. discount. The resumption of speculative sales of Turkish Bonds this morning has forced down the prices of the 6 per Cents. another 4 to 1 per cent., the prices having ranged from 841 i and 834, at which latter figure they are at the present moment quoted. The New Scrip is heavier; being 21 and 2 discount. Spanish New Deferred are 194. Pe ruvian Active Bonds are flat, at 75 and 74k. Chilian 6 per Cents. are worth 994, Brazilian 5 per Cents. 99, and the Small Bonds 99/. The following Are the nominal prices of foreign stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 18 to 20; Mexi can, 214 to 214 ; Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 74 to 76 ; ditto Three per Cents., 54 to 56; Portuguese Four per Cents., 43 to 45 ; Russian Five per Cents., 97 to 99 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 85 to 88 ; Spanish New Deferred, 37/ to 381 ; ditto Three per Cents., 19i to 19R- ; ditto Certificates, 41- to 4i ; ditto Passive, 44 to 5.

Ant werp and Rotterdam are cheaper, and Paris and Lyons are down about ss. The Colonial shares also rule flat. Mining Shares are nominal.

CHARGE OP EMBEZZLEISENT.—Henry Ligla, a young man, about 20 years of age, was brought up in custody, charged with embezzling various sums of money belorg ing to his employers, Messrs. Cooper and Co., cheese mongers, Stones-end, Borough. Mr. Cooper stated that the prisoner was in their em ploy as carman, and it was his duty to deliver goods to their private customers and receive the money, which, on his return each day, he ought to pay over to witness. For some time past several of the accounts were not paid in by him as usual, and these circumstances led to some suspicion about his honesty, consequently inquiries were instituted among the customers, and a number of them had paid him various sums varying from six shillings to ten and twelve, which he bad never accountel for. Wit ness accordingly called in a constable last evening when he returned with his cart, and gave him into custody. Maria Latch, servant to Mrs. Butler, of Walworth, said the prisoner left goods for the consumption of the house and received the money on delivering the invoice. Witness paid him on the Ist of September a bill amounting to 6s. 3d., and on the 15th of the same month another amounting to 6s. 3d., which he receipted in her presence. Mr. Cooper said those bills had never been paid in by the prisoner. The magistrate a3ked whether there were any other witnesses. Mr. Cooper replied that they were not in attendance to-day, but there were a vast number of cases he could bring against him on a future day. Considerable diffi culty existed in tracing out all his defalcations, as almost in every case he had destroyed the original invoices, and made out others himself. The prisoner, who declined.. to say anything at this stage of the proceedings, was remanded for a week. THAMES. VIOLENT ASSAULT ON A POLICE•CONSTABLE.—JOhn Driscoll, a dirty-looking fellow, with only a few rags on his person, 'and a beard of a fortnight's growth, the very beau ideal of a drunken Irish tailor, who are always worse clothed than any other person, was charged with committing a violent assault on Henry Cotton, a police constable, No. 60 H. The policeman stated that the prisoner was very dis orderly on Tower-bill last night, and shouting and screaming loudly. He interfered with the prisoner, who began kicking him as hard as he was able, and swore he would kick him to pieces. He took the prisoner into custody, and he acted in a most obstreperous manner, struck him repeatedly, and at last fell on the ground and kicked and plunged violently. He obtained other assistance, and conveyed the prisoner to the station house. The prisoner had been in custody before for dis orderly conduct, and was a most troublesome character. Mr. Yardley—When was the prisoner in custody before I Roche, the gaoler—He was here a very few days ago for riotous and disorderly conduct. Mr. Yardley sentenced the prisonor to 14 days' im prisonment in the House of Correction. ASSAULT BY AN AMERICAN SEAMAN.— William Long, an American seaman, who only arrived in this port yes terday, was charged with assaulting John Ryan, a police constable, 214 H. Ryan stated that he found the prisoner asleep at an early hour this morning under an arch of the Blackwall Railway. Upon arousing him, the prisoner knocked him down, and when he got up kicked him and struck him under the ear. He called for assistance, and four "civilians " came to his aid and secured the prisoner, who was very much intoxicated. Mr. Yardley fined the prisoner 405., which he paid. ROBBEitY BY A DIITCHMAN.—Johannas Jandersloan, a Dutchman, was brought before Mr. Yardiey charged with stealing a pint pot and two drinking glasses. Henry Geels, barman at the Sun and Sawyers public house, in Whitechapel, said the prisoner was drinking at the house in company with other foreigners yesterday. As the prisoner was leaving the house a person called attention to him, and he detained him and found a pint pot tied behind his back and two drinking glasses in his pockets. They belonged to Mr. Junge, the landlord of the house. A foreigner said the prisoner came to this country last Sunday to join the Foreign Legion, and he was rejected. The British Government would take no more Dutchmen, because they were constantly quar relling with the Germans in the Legion. Many Ger mans had deserted in consequence of the bad conduct of the Dutch. Mr. Yardley—The prisoner is a very dis honest man, and the Foreign Legion has had a very lucky escape. I sentence him to one month's bard labour in the House of Correction. MARYLEBONE. AN "INNOCENT" YOUNG THlEF.— William Gorman a4ed 13, a most artful-looking boy, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Long, charged with the following rob bery : Mr. Lewis, a hosier, - &c., carrying on business at 111, Edgware-road, deposed that between 8 and 9 o'clock yesterday evening, while standing behind the counter, he saw the prisoner enter stealthily the doorway and pull down two neckties, with which he made off. He (prosecutor) pursued him, and after a hard chase suc ceeded in seizing him by the collar. He then gave him into the custody of police-constable 119 D. Mr. Long--Were the neckties found upon him ? Prosecutor—They were not, sir ; he had, no doubt, passed them to another party, as five or six more boys, no doubt confederates, were standing at a short distance from the shop when the prisoner made his egress there from. Mr. Long—Are you quite certain that the prisoner is the boy who stole the articles ? Prosecutor—l am, sir. Mr. Long (to prisoner)—What have you to say ? Prisoner (trying to shed a tear)—Please yer vorship it vornt me as did it. I'm as hinnicent as a blessed babby vots only jest bin born. The " snapper-up of unconsidered trifles" was sent to hard labour in the House of Correction fora month. WILTIIL DAMAGE.—Thomas Kennedy was brought up under these circumstances. it appeared that at two o'clock yesterday afternoon the defendant went drunk to the house of Mr. Cornwell, the Prince George of Cumberland, Albany-street, and called for some drink. The landlord ♦ery properly refused to serve him, and as his conduct was disgraceful in the extreme he was ejected fiom the place. In the course of a quarter of an hour he returned and smashed two panes of glass with stones which he took from his pocket, one of the said stones also broke a bottle about half full of port wine ; it was further shown that he had held up his fist close to the face of Mr. Cornwell, and threatened to strike him. He was ordered to pay 7e. for the damage, or ten days, and for his conduct towards the landlord 10s. or seven days. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

RUMOURED EVACUATION OF THE NORTH SIDE OF SEBASTOPOL. This afternoon it was currently rumoured in the City that the North side of Sebastopol had been evacuated by the Russians. The effect of the rumour on 'Change was the rise of the Funds per Cent. Though such an event is by no means unlikely, we can positively assert that nothing confirmatory of the above rumour had reached her Majesty's Government up to the present hour. MONEY MARKET.

THE PROPOSED ROAD ACROSS ST. JAMES'S PARK.. TO THE EDITOR OE THE MP. Sits,—l beg to fc,rward to you the copy of a letter ad dressed by me to Sir Benjamin Hall, in the hope that, as the subject referred to is of public interest, you will have the goodness to insert it in your next publication. I am, Sir, your obed. servant, JOHN VILLIERS SHELLEY. Mansfield Park, 4th Oct., 1855. Mansfield Park, 4th Oct., 1855. MT DEAR HALL,—When I wrote to you on the 16th ult. in relation to the proposed road across St. James's Park, I did so in consequence of representations made to me by some of my constituents, who thought that the road would be objectionable, and that the Government intended to proceed with the scheme without any refe rence being made to Parliament. This impression was no doubt made upon them in consequence of statements which appeared in the public papers, that the road was to be proceeded with during the recess, and that the works had been commenced ; but, after the assurance contained in your letter of the 18th ult., " that nothing► will be done till Parliament meets, when the public will have an opportunity of considering the plans which will be presented to the House of Commons, and of seeing whether the accommodation offered to the public is the best that should be granted," I am requested now to state that they do not think it necessary to wait upon you on Saturday next.
