The small image of this god Wes worn by the Chief Judge while engaged in listening to cases brought before him. A similar emblem was worn by the High Priests of the Jews, and it is remarkable that the word " Thummin " is not only translated "Truth," but, being a Plural or dual word, corresponds to the Egyptian word of " Two Truths"—i. e. " Light and Truth "—breastplates hav ing the figures of the two gods, " Re" (Light) and " Thmei " (Truth) represented upon them have beeudiscovered. Priests With Searabni.

Attendant priests also. f m the idol and offer homage as it passes forward. The festivals in honour of Apis lasted 7 days, on which occasion a large concourse of People assembled at Memphis—the priests led the Sacred (living) Bull in solemn procession, every one coming forward from their houses to welcome him. Pliny and Solinus affirm that children who smelt his breath were thought thereby gifted with the power of predicting future events. The tokens which distinguished this Sacred Bull at its birth were a white spot resembling a crescent on its right side, and a lump under its tongue in the form of a beetle, as pretended by the priests. The people believed him to be the cause of the swelling and inundation of the Nile, which produced fertility and abund ance, and celebrated his festival at about the period of this annual occurrence with every demonstration of rejoicing and literal abandonment to the intoxication of joy all over the kingdom. Many temples 'were erected and dedicated to " Apis," and also to " Serapis," the divinity of the Column of Measurement—the Nilometer ! N.B. The decorations of the drapery upon the bull and carriage are principally corn- Posed of the first flowers that spring from the earth after the recession of the flood—i.e., the Lotus and Meliolotus. Priests With the pretended God " Canopus," or Water Offering to the God of the Nile. " It is said that the Chaldeans, trans- Porting the fire, which was their God, into all the provinces, Offered to let him combat with those of other nations, on condition that if he remained the conqueror they should adore him. The priests of Canopus accepted the challenge and devised this stratagem. They fabricate in Egypt pitchers of an extremely porous earth, through which t he water filtrates and ; ' 8 purified. The Arch-priest took one of them, stopped the , Pores with wax, and painting it of various colours filled it with wa ter, and made it his god. He covered it with the head of V ancient statue, said to be that of the p ilot of Menelaus. The Chaldeans presented themselves ; the contest begat ; they lighted their fires around the vase ; the wax melts, the 'tketer ruus through the vase and extinguishes the fire. The baud of the priest gave the victory to Canopus over the Chaldean deity. From that moment his image has beet re- Presented with very short feet, a narrow back, and the belly and back rounded like a pitcher. It is under this fern that h :2. 6 is worshipped as the vanquisher of all the go ds. " — Ruffin tiistoire de l'Eglise, livre second. No. 4.

The principle office of this deity was tc judge the dead, and to rule over that kingdom where the souls of good men were admitt e d t o e te rn al felicity. This deity was very famous— his temples and priests were to bo found in al roost every part of Egypt ; the sacred rites of Osiris were a Profound mystery, never revealed. His name was even avoided, as of too august a nature to ho mentioned. The "Ivy," with which the Priests decorated themselves, was sacred to 1111 , and also the " Meliolotus." No. 6.

"Ncith" was ROYAL LYCEUM THEATRE. THIS EVENING, and every evening during the week, the GRAND ELEUSINIAN SPECTACLE of MAGIC and MYSTERY, by Professor ANDERSON, the Great Wizard of the North, in 12 acts, with :ever-changing variety of incidents, continuous surprises, novel and extraordinary effects. Magic and Mystery is an entirely new entertainment, poS sessing distinctive characteristics and peculiar phases of amusement. It is not a monologue, for the audience them selves perform their parts with the principal actor, some of them on the stage and others in front ; it is not an exhibition, for though everything becomes metamorphosed before the eyes of the visitors no one can be positive that he sees any one thing ; but it is a comedy really performed by the cdm. pany ; a melodrama replete with startling positions and unex pected denouements ; a magnificent spectacle, with 2,000 of the public every night to appear as auxiliaries ; and an ex travaganza, in which all that seems to be is entirely beyond the bounds of probability. Professor Anderson returns his thanks to thronged and fashionable audiences which have nightly filled the Lyceum Theatre to overflow, and by means of whose generous aid he has been enabled to announce Magic and Mystery for con tinuous repetition. lie believes that no professor of his art has at any time or in any place been honoured with an amount of success so extensive, so decided, and so unusual. He would attribute that success to three causes ; first, that in his present entertainment he has placed before his visitors the results of a life sedulously devoted to the attainment of perfected skill in one peculiar art, and to perfect which he has travelled the globe in every clime ; secondly, that he has spared no trouble nor expense to put this entertainment o❑ the stage in the most elaborate manner, by the employment of the first mechanicians and artists of the day; and thirdly, that, while endeavouring to provide amusement for those who honour him with their presence, he has not forgotten that it is possible to afford information also, and that the oppor tunity should not be neglected of exposing conjuring where ever it has been used for nefarious purposes, or whenever by resorting to the conjuror's arts, in an illegitimate manner, the designing have succeeded in making dupes of the ereduloic The 937 letters on the subject of spirit-rapping, which Pro fessor Anderson has received, from the time of opening the theatre up to the present date, bear witness to the great in terest taken on the subject of this singular delusion ; whilst many of them bear melancholy evidence to the dangers which attend a belief in the superstitious nonsense of the '' Spiri tualists." Judging simply by the correspondence which has resulted, Professor Anderson's expose of spirit-rapping and his illustration of the so-called table phenomena, have pro duced a sensation unequalled by any previous attempt to ex pose a mischievous and impudent juggle. It is impossible for Professor Anderson to reply at length to a tithe of the communications which reach him on the subject. He regrets that many of these should come from ladies and gentlemen who, from their position in society and their well-known in tellectual attainments, he would least lave expected to have been converts to a belief so preposterous in itself, and so easily susceptible of being controverted and disproved. Every evening, from the Lyceum stage, Mr. Anderson's opinions on spirit-rapping are expressed, and every evening, within the Lyceum, bow tables can be made to rap is exhibited and elucidated. It is respectfully requested that this public exposition will be accepted generally as Professor Anderson's only mode of replying at full length to his multitudinous correspondents. He regrets that the names of the great and learned of the land should have been made to figure in the documents emanating from the spirit-rappers, as for instance the following, ex tracted from the Morning Advertiser of Thursday, 'Septem ber 20, and taken by that journal from the Yew York Spiri tual Telegraph. It purports to emanate from an American spirit-rapper, Mr. D. D. Hume :—" Sir David Brewster frankly confesses that he is sorely puzzled' at what he has witnessed, and Lord Brougham acknowledges himself to be thoroughly nonplussed. Both of these noted men brought the whole force of their keen discernment to bear upon the .olation of the phenomena; but the presence of substantial, actual hands, and the demonstrative strength of the spirits who thus clothed themselves for the time, and moved mate nal objects about the room, proved to be too much of a ques tion for them to master." Mr. D. D. Hume, the author of the above, has recently left England, and the following account of who, and what ho is, occurs in the Family Herald, No. 648: —" This young man, who is a Seotchman by birth, and now in Italy, is a remarkable medium for all the manifestations without apparatus. Barnum, who is we'l-known throughout the Anglo-Saxon world as a splendidhumbug, offered him 2,000 dollars per annum if he would perform at his museum iu New York. Barnum then took it for granted that mediums could be bought. Ho was somewhat astonished when Lis offer was refused. Hume, on telling the fact in Loudon lately, simply and honestly remarked, that the money would have been very acceptable to him, for he was poor, young (under 211), an or phan, and in very bad health : but he would have been afraid of losing his power as a medium, and he would sooner lose his life. The refusal, however, made Barnum thoughtful. He inquired into the subject; and now Barnum, ono of the greatest humbugs in the world, and withal a 'conjuror, is one of the firmest believers in spiritualism." It is cer tainly surprising to find such a paragraph as this in the editorial article of an established journal, the editor of whom might be supposed to be sane. Even if Barnum does believe in spirit-rapping--does spirit-rapping gain or lose by this accession to its adherents ? and, with Barnum's endorse ment to it, is this bill, drawn on public credulity, more likely to be negotiated ? Professor Anderson would believe not ; but, when he finds that educated clergymen of the Church of England have the temerity to subscribe their names to so gross a swindle, when he finds that the Incumbent of Wortley (the Rev. N. J. Godfrey) positively asserts his belief in it, and writes a book on the subject, ho considers it t be time for him to state that which he knows of the mechanism by which it is effected, and the mischief to which it tends, In the Morning Advertiser of October 3 appears a letter from Sir David Brewster, relative to that which he saw st Cox's Hotel, in company with Lord Brougham. Ho distinctly states that which the Wizard of the North proclaims ()Very night—that spirit-rappin g is nothing more than conjuring applied to bad purposes, In the Morning Advertiser of the following day, however, there is an answer to Sir David's letter from one who was present when he and Lord Brougham had their séance with the spirits, in which the writer says, that " the table (a large dinner-table, I believe) moved about in the most extraordinary manner, and, among other things, a large ac cordion was conveyed by an invisible agency to my hand and then to Lord Brougham's, in which, held by his lordship's right hand, apart from any person, it played an air through out." With such a statement, printed for the edification of the people of the 19th century, with the facts before us that the most talented men of the day ate permitting themselves to be deluded by these juggling spirit-mougers—that the greatest novelist of the age is now engaged in making it the subject of a new work, and that a " spiritual convention" pas actually been advertised to be held in St. Martin's-hall, Professor Anderson trusts that his exposures of the spiritual ists of America, as given by him nightly at the Lyceum, will be received by the people of England as genuine honest at tempts to provide an antidote for the bane of the spiritual juggles. In the course of the last five weeks 100,017 persons have visited the Lyceum Theatre,—a larger number, it is believed, than has ever before been assembled within its walls in so short a period. Magic and Mystery is repeated every even. in.' ' , the programme being continually changed.

The FJURTII HALF-YEARLY REPORT, made by the Direc tors and adopted by the Shareholders in the above Conically, dated 3d July last, has just been received, by the Marco Polo. The earthworks and bridges were so far advanced that tenders had been already taken, and others invited, for the laying of the per manent way in several sections; and it was confidently anticipated that the line would be entirely completed and open in the early part of the ensuing year, and within the originally estimated capital of 351,000/. The shares already allotted In England have provided funds for the purchase and shipment of rolli sg stock and materials (the greater p9rkon of which Is now delivered or on the sea), which, with contracts still in progress, wi'l be sufficient to complete the perma nent way and open the traffic throughout between the capital of Victoria and the terminus at Geelong. When it is remembered that Melbourne, in the year 1852, num bered a population 0f25,000, and Geelong was a mere village, with its 8,000 deriving their tr,de and support from the scattered sheep and cattle stations far removed in the interior ; and that now the former ranks with our third-rate English towns, having a fixed, increasing, a* busy population of 120,030, and the latter, keeping a-head of its former proportion, being now estimated at nearly GO,OOO, it is almost impossible to overrate the prospective advantage offrred by the connecting link of these two seaports within the Roble bay of Port-Philip. The colonial government, fully impressed with the importance of this great basis of communication between the principal towns com prised in this undertaking and the great gold fields of Ballarat and Mount Alexander, had ordered surveys to be made for two trunk lines of railway, intended to be adopted and carried out under legislative authority, for facilitating the intercourse with these im portant and populous districts. The strictest economy has been observed hi.herto in the prosecu tion of the Company's plans of operation, no expenses having been incurred beyond those indispensably necessary for the actual for mation of the line of railway. No greater proof can be adduced of the popularity and confidence with which the results of this enterprise ara regarded by its present sharehollers than the ready manner in which they have met the calls in a colony where the current - rate of i'derest is from 8 to 12 per pent, the Government guarantee being scarcely more than equi va'ent to a minimum rate of interest in this coutrtry, viz., 5 per cent. Upon 10,000 shares allotted in the colony seven calls had been made, amounting to 141. per share ; and the capital, therefore, will most probably be fully paid up about June next. Nearly 10,0001. had been pa d up in anticipation of calls, and many shares have been transferred from the colony to the London register. The maximum dividend allowed under the Act of Incorporat'on is 25 per cent , and, from the valuable grants of land and other privi leges conceded by the Local Government, the level nature of the country through which the line passes, the absence of great parlia • mentary and legal expenses, costly bridges, earthworks, tunnels, or via !nets, it is not unreasonable to expect, on the thorough comple tion of this pioneer Railway, that this large dividend will be fairly reached, and a reserve fund still secured for progri ssive improve ments in the permanent development of its future resources. The greater Portion of the shares referved for allotment in England are already subscribed and paid up in fall (i.e , 201. per share). The residue, viz., 3,000, are now finally off, red to the public previously to their re-transmission to the colony for distribution there. It is necessary that they should be paid up in full, and the interest of 5 per cent. will take effect from the date of payment, and the share certificates, bearing the seal of the Company, will be so endorsed.

THESE HIGHLY ESTEEMED DELICACIES AND CHEAP The Expedition to the Mouth of the toug. • (Front the Times Special Correspondent.) SATIMIDAY, Oct. 20.--The French Rear-Admiral, in one of the small gun-boats, weighed early this morning, and stood up Kherson Bay with the lighter vessels of his squad ron before the English Admiral was aware of his intention. Our smaller gun-boats started in the same direction soon aftet dawn, and Rear-Admiral Sir Houston Stewart, having Oat off his despatchls to Sir Edmund Lyons, hoisted the signal for the largo gun-boats and steam-sloops under his command to weigh anchor, and at 9 eelock, with his flag flying in the. Stromboli, led the way to wards the confluence of the Boug and Dnieper. He was followed by the Gladiator, Spiteful, and Triton steamers, and i)y the. Wrangler, Snake, and Viper gun-boats ; and the shoal of gun-boats, small and large Cracker, Grinder, Clinker, Fancy, &c.—were some miles in advance, cruising, in cmnpany with the French squadron, among the intricate shoals which guard the entrances to the Dnieper. As we approached tho mouth of the Bong the water became of a green colour, and was covered with a scum of spawn and vegetable matter like a ilnekpond. Tho mouth is about five miles wide, the banks steep and high, and studded with farm-houses. As we approached we ob served a portion of the French squadron coming down the river, and the smoke of the light vessels, which were hull down, rose up from the horizon towards the Dnieper. Sir Houston Stewart was assured by the French Ad miral that he had been up to the Spit in the river which extends from the western bank for some distance into the stream, at about seven miles from Ajiojhiol point on its western entrance, and that he had not seen anything there. As there was nothing else to be done, the Admiral resolved to have a look for himself, and weighed in the Stromboli, which was followed by the Spitfire and by the Grinder and Cracker, small gun-boats, and proceeded sloWly .up the river. The banks are high on both sides, and the brown steppe,. studded with herds, farm-houses, and Cossacks, presents no object of interest. About throe miles up, OD the left-hand bank, there is a small village, and one of the largest farms I ever saw. Five miles up on the right-hand bank, there is another village with two pretty churches. There aro guard stations and lookout posts on both sides, as usual. The river is three or four miles broad up to the Spit, where it narrows considerably. On both sides the cliff is upwards of 100 feet high, and can scarcely be com manded by the guns of a ship. However, it was advisable to ascertain what defences there wore on the lower part of the river till it contracted into within range from both banks. The Cracker and Grinder went on ahead, the Stromboli followed with the Admiral's flag flying, and the Spitfire came along slowly, busily engaged in her indefa tigable labour of sounding, and probing, and angling every bit of the earth's face and of the waters under the earth. We glided merrily along, examining hear ings and farmyards at our leisure. Above the Spit there is a high bank, ascending to the steppe ' behind it, and at the distance of some hundred yards from the edge there is a tumulus on the steppe, behind which I saw some Russian artillery at a considerable distance as we were running along the coast. The Cracker had run on a-head, and the Grinder was just drawing on parallel with this bank—we were all examining it—one officer was say ing to the other, " Well ! I wonder the Russians have not got a battery on that cliff"—when from a seam in its side, parallel with the water, a puff of white smoke spirted out, and the rush of a shot followed, end was terminated by a splash of water close to the side of the Grinder. " Tell the Grinder ho may give him a shot in reply," cried Admiral Stewart, and little Grinder, with more valour than discretion, at once put down his helm and ran in to laud, drawing as he did across the tromboli, at which the enemy had opened another gun att he moment, but this shotalso fell short. As the drum beat to quarters the men rushed on deck in a high state of delight; the berthings were removed, and the guns ready for action iu a few moments; but there was Grinder intent on doing his devoir and getting in our way, throwing dust and smoke in our faces, so that at last the fatal edict went forth and Grinder's recall was hoisted. And now the gnus on the top of the cliffs, which were only light field-pieces, opened, and as none of the shot from the Russians had yet fallen closer than :!0 yards to us, all on board were in a merry mood as the Stromboli slowly craned over towards the bank. The work from which the Russians fired their heavier guns was a trench in the cliff, almost half-way up its side, and looked very insignifi cant, but when you came to squint aloug a gnu, and could only see four little black eyes staring at sn u over a lin e of earth which did not seem three inches high to your sight, you began to understand the difficulty of striking such objects at the distance of a mile. " Try 2,500 yards !" The gun was trained. At the words " Well ! Fire 1" 'out spouted the flame and smoke, and the iron globe, whose curve you could trace through the air, hurtled with the peculiar and nerve-shaking hiss of its race right over the earth-work, knocking up a pillar of black earth from the crest of the hill, and bounding far away to the rear. The enemy replied. We heard the shot coaling right at us, and, as it flew over the head of Captain Sprat t, who was stationed at the foretop, looking out for shoals, and plunged into the water 500 or GOO yards be yond us, it became evident that the Moscov had been play ing the deep game of firing short to entice us well under his battery, so that he was trying extreme range, and had heavier guns than we thought. The Spitfire, Cracker, and Grinder were now coming into play, and the former two made some excellent practice, and struck the earth right and left of the battery. Stromboli was edging down nearer, and the captains of the guns were all with oyo intently gazing along their guns. " Try two thousaud yards." A way flew the iron messenger again, but he only told the Russians to bob their heads and keep out of his way, and flew behind them. The field pieces now took to firing shell, and studded the air above us with smoke-clouds, and the angry hum of the splinters was heard once more, but for the most part they were too light to reach us. Whiz ! - right across our crowded deck comes another round shot, and plashes into the water ever our counters. The long gun at the bow sends a shot in re ply right into them this time, at 1,700 yards, and the Spitfire follows the example. Whiz ! whiz ! two shot, one after the other at the Stromboli, one dashing the water up in a pillar close to her sides, the other cutting the jib foot-rope. The smoke obseares the view, but it is quite clear that the Russians are keeping close behind their works after the last reply from our guns nearer and bettor directed than before. However, there was no object to be gained . by continuing a contest in which it would have been salable indeed to lose one man. That there was no' intention of going up to Nicolaieff with a steam-sloop, a surveying-sloop, and two small gun boats I need not say, and had the enemy been driven out from the point ten times a-day they could have returned at any time, and have constructed just such another flying defence as that with which we were engaged. Indeed the Admiral would not have replied to the enemy's fire at all, but that Jack is dissatisfied when he is not permitted to return a shot whenever ono is sent at him. It would never have done to turn back without any reply at all ; but, having gained the only object in view that of ascertaining how far small vessels could go up the river without opposition to take soundings, &c., Sir llouston Stewart resolved to return, and, with a parting salute from our guns, the Stromboli set her jib, slowed round, and steamed slowly down the river. The enemy fired two guns one after the other, but the Spitfire, Grinder, and Cracker soon silenced t hem, and a final shell from the latter fell right into the earthwork, burst, and appeared to do the Russians a good deal of mischief. SUNDAY, Oct. 21.—Late last night the glare of fires was seen on the Kinbourn Spit, near the south mouth of the Dnieper, and, although the gunboats are operating in that direction, it must be that the Cossacks aro burning the produce of the Russian peasants, lest it should fall into the hands of the enemy. The French Admiral, in one of the gunboats, attended by two others, went away during the night. Church pen dants were hoisted in the forenoon, and Divine service according to the Church of England was duly cele brated in the confluence of the Boug and Dnieper for the first time since Christianity blessed the earth, and within sight of the spires of many Greek ortho dox churches. At 2.30 three large and one small gun-boat got up steam and weighed. They stood straight up the river, and great was our excitement lest they should think it necessary to silence the battery which we had loft with its teeth drawn, if not its tongue tied yesterday. Before they started, and just after church service, Sir Houston Stewart, having signalled for an officer of the Spitfire to come on board, went off in the Cracker, attended by the Grinder, to examine the coast to the S.S.E., and ascertain the cause of the numerous fires indicated by pillars of smoke in that direction. They were speedily invisible in the haze to the southward, and they in vain endeavoured to find out the position of the troops who were supposed to be advancing along the Spit to destroy all the forage and provision in their way for 40 miles, so as to make the country a barren waste, and prevent the enemy marching towards the fort without taking with them supplies. However harsh this mea sure may appear, it is a necessary operation of war. The day was very dull, as I have said, and the north wind created an immense refraction, so that the end of the cliff appeared to be lifted out of the water, and the vessels to have wavering hulls and quivering masts as they advanced, just as ono would see them through the haze from a hot walk in a July day. On they went, however, and at last they came ofl the Spit, and the enemy opened fire on them as before. The small gun-boat stood bravely in with ❑ 1,500 yards of the shore, and others anchored at 1,800 , and all engaged the guns in the breastwork very sharply. Their shut flew over the cliff' hit his face, knocked the water nt its base into clouds of spray, and tho Russians • struck the water behind, before at this side, and at that side of the vessel, but never bit mast, spar, or rope, and so the fight continued ; but the French aver they dismounted ono gun at least, and drew down a great body of the enemy before they retired, which they did after half an hour's dalliance with the Rus sians, and then they anchored off the mouth of the Bong close to us once more. Meantime, we had seen a sight which led us to believe that his Majesty tte Czar, or some of his Imperial family, was actually honouring our little squadron by a minute inspection. Perhaps ho was think ing how they would run fur a marina Cesarewitch. It might, indeed, have been only a Governor of Cherson we saw, but after midday there certainly did appear on the east bank of the Doug some great man on a big dark horse, fol lowed by ten or twelve officers mounted, and same few orderlies, and he rode over to the Cossack post, dismounted, and honoured us by a minute inspection, which he inter rupted from time to time by a few words to those around him. Presently a Cossack came galloping across the steppe at full speed, right to the group of cavaliers. When he approached, be dismounted, and, walking to the great surveyor of our navy, - knelt down and appeared to kiss his feet as ho handed him a despatch. The great man read the missive, mounted his horse, and rode off to the next post, followed by his suite, and the next we saw of him was that he was visiting the Cossack post higher up the river, after which he proceeded along the road towards Nicolaieff. Some time after the French boats retired the English gun-boats came in sight, and in the early evening they anchored in their old place, and Admiral Stewart left the Cracker and returned to the Stromboli. At night strict watch was kept on board the little fleet. Fire-ships are not much to be feared by steam ers, but still the wind was strong down from Nicolaieff, and the Russians for once might attempt to do something, and so there were look-out men .fore and aft, and armed sentinels and loaded carrosades, and so we went to slcep— in the waters, for the time being, of her Majesty the Queen and of his Imperial Majesty Louis Napoleon. MONDAY, OCT. 22. At 10 o'clock Admiral Stewart went on board the Spit fire, and proceeded southwards towards the Kinbourn Spit to look out for the troops, and to find out the cause of the fires which were still blazing along the horizon. As he bore away on his course a French gun-boat came close to with a despatch fur the Admiral from Admiral Pellion, in which ho very politely and handsomely placed at the disposal of Sir Houston Stewart several chaloupee cannonieres lying off the mouths of the Dnieper, in case he felt inclined to destroy certain large boats on the beach below Stanislaff. The French officer who brought it stated that in the little affair between the gun boats and earthwork yesterday they had dismounted one gun and had suffered no loss, and ho proceeded on his way in his boat to rejoin his chaloupe after a hearty shako of the hand from the admiral. As the Spitfire was forging a-head on her course a small craft, with au admiral's flag red at the mizen, was seen at the horizon. It could be no other thaw Sir Edmund Lyons. The dull echo of the guns and the distant scent of gunpowder hail enticed him up into our waters to see what was going on, and his flag was flying in the little Danube. The admiral sent off his barge to the Spitfire, and Sir Houston Stewart, Captain Spratt, Commander Cowper Coles, Mr. Brooker, went on board the Danube, which immediately went away towards Kinbourn Spit, accompanied by the Spitfire. As they approached it was clear the enemy thought two British admirals did not fly their flagstogether for nothing. A strong body of infantry was drawn up on the heights among the houses which were, no doubt, filled with rifle men, and a very considerable force of field artillery was collected in the rear in case the admirals and post captains determined to land and take Stanislaff by assault, and that the Danube and Spitfire should attempt to bombard the place. It was really wonderful to see that the Russians had erected a solid compact-looking sand battery with five embrasures on the sandbank below the town, where no trace of such a work existed 24 hours previously. The admirals here parted company ; Sir E. Lyons returned in the Danube to the fleet, and Sir H. Stewart steamed away in the Spitfire to the anchorage of the Bong, and went on board the Strom boli. At 8 o'clock the French gun-boat came back and anchored near us. There were some traces of the troops at Skadovska, about 13 miles from Kinbourn, to-day, as black columns of smoke roso up from the Spit in that direction. They may be the work of tho Cossacks. But ,ho reconnaissance of the admirals failed in detecting the march of the soldiers. It is understood that the whole of both armies, except those required for working parties, is employed on this grande promenade militaire, in which the fleet is obliged to lao too far from the coast to rends them much assistance. (Feoni. the Special Correspondent of the Daily News.) DNIEPE[ (or (KHERSON) BAY, OCT. 23. My last letter from off Kinburn will have informed you that we sailed from before Sebastopol with a combined fleet of 90 vessels of all sizes, and a land force of some 8,000 men, on the 7th of this present month, and that after wasting five days in needless idleness off Odessa, we jogged quietly on to Kinburn, recovered from the mental and other exertion of that effort by another three days' rest , and then, with more than 1,000 heavy cannon, bore down upon and captured three paltry forts, garrisoned by 1,306 men, and fighting iu all some 50 or GO guns. From this introduction you will be prepared to hear that nothing has been done since I last wrote ou the 19th. On the morning of that day the greater part of our own and the French land force started on a two days' march inland towards Kherson; and five or six hours later a flotills, composed of the Stromboli, bearing the flag of Rear-Ad• miral Stewart; Spiteful, Spitfire, and Triton, steam sloops, with the Wrangler, Lynx, Viper, Snake, Beagle, Clinker, Cracker, Grinder, Boxer, and Fancy, screw gunboats, and twelve &cuee gun-boats, also under the command of a rear-admiral, was detached from the main fleet for parti cular service in the direction of Nicolaieff or Kherson. Great haste was displayed in getting these vessels under way about noon, but on their rounding the Spit, and tak ing on board Sir Houston Stewart from the Valorous, the whole pulled up and anchored for the night. This preli minary movement occupied about a couple of hours, at the end of which the weather was as fine, and the preparations as complete, as the most fastidious old lady who ever com manded an army or fleet could have desired. As wo steamed through the narrow strait between Kinburn and Otchakoff Points, the Russians were busily employed in dragging up the guns from Fort Nicolaieff, which had been blown up two nights before, and placing them in a new earthwork on the brow of the high slope near the town. We passed through, however, without in any way inter fering with their labours, and anchored, as I have said off the north-eastern face of our now capture. About eight o'clock on the following (Saturday) morn ing the signal was made to weigh anchor, and soon after the whole of our quota of the flotilla got into movement after the French, who had already gone on a-head. The course from this point to the mouth of the Bong lies at an average distance of about two miles off the northern coast, Which preserves a uniform highness throughout, broken only by narrow ravines running up from the see. The inner slopes of these last are generally wooded, and in amongst the trees nestle pretty villages, much like those which one may see in the best districts of the north of Ire land. Windmills, too, alternate with semaphores along the brow of the intervening plateaux, relieving the scenery from the lonely dulness which would otherwise be pre sented by its unenclosed wastes to the eye of an observer from the sea. Iu striking contrast to this is the landscape on the opposite side of the bay—low, flat, and uninterest ing as any part of the Essex shore of the Thames, from the Nore to North Wo•lwich. So low, indeed, is it at some points as to present all the appearance of partial submerge merit. Some 10 or 15 miles round from Kinboura the sandy barrenness of the ground ceases, and a flat Dutch landscape, dotted hero and there with clumps of trees, and thinly covered with villages—not to mention numerous swampy salt lakes—continues on round as far as to Zebure vski Bay, at tho mouth of the Dnieper. Shortly before 3 o'clock the flotilla reached the embouchure of the Boug, which fells into the bay about eight miles west of the Dnieper, and at this point gives an anchorage of nineteen feet of water. Leaving behind him the Spiteful, Triton, and the gun-boats but the Cracker and Grinder, Admiral Stewart proceeded about five miles up the river, view of making a preliminary inspection of the banks t the with the on hostile either side, and, ascertaining, if possible, what forts enemy had thrown up to bar the passag e of a host squa dron. The vessels had come nearly abre ast of Vo ors Spit i r k —a jutting tongue of land on the western bank—when an unperceived earthwork on that poin t opened fire from six eighteen pounders. The Cracker, ie ieut Hamilton, was ordered to steam ahead and reply with her heavy Lance{. ter gun, whilst the Grinder and Stromboli camp up. Rather a vigorous fire then commenced from the three ships, which was returned so warmly b y the Russians that, after expending some thirty-four rounds, the ad miral deemed it best to draw off, and return to the mouth of the river to the anchorage of the other vessels. At this latter Point, Lieutenant Paget, the " first loft" of the Spiteful, had been then senior officer dur ing the a bsence of the commander with the admiral, and on hearing the firing h e a t once signalled to the tiag . a hip for permission to run up and join in the fray ; but Sir Houston declined the offered help, and soon after brought off his three vessels to join the others. I ma y just add, that during this little passage of arms none of our ships were hit, with the trifling exception of one shot having struck the rigging of the Stromboli. This formed the sum of Saturday's proceedings. In the mean time, the French and many of our other gun-boats had gone up to the Dnieper, and were anchored off its mouth, seemingly with no more definite purpose than ourselves in the Bong. Sunday morning broke over the idle crews, raw an NEWS PAPER , . . ft . - _., vt:., ~,,_ wiiiiii, is if the isiatibil bid bash nsiimisr;iwitliktiiiiiV i 4.' ' s ?" „.. y , , • . . ii(tatland.

Shortly galore noon,L - I nevertheless, three or four French boats weighed and t -- 1 ., stood up the Bong, and on r eac hi ng within some fifteen . R.' hundred yards of the battery which had fired upon us the day before, opened with their long thirty-twos. After a brief and resultless fire, however, they hauled off and returned to their anchorage, satisfied with hav ing done as much as ourselves. In the afternoon, Ad. miral Stewart went on board the Cracker, and, accom. panied by the Grinder, proceeded across to the mouth of the Dnieper to confer with the French rear-admiral, and make inquiries as to a large fire in that direction which was Ndsible from our mooring ground. On his return in the evening we learned that the latter was merely the burning of some forage destroyed by a large party of Cos sacks near the coast, to prevent its falling into the hands of our own or the French troops. As to the conference with the French admiral, it appears to have been result -I?ss, for yesterday again was suffered to pass away without a single anchor of the whole flotilla, with ono exception, leaving ground. Tho cold and windy roughness of Sun day ended with the day, and the weather was again excel lent, with only a slight breeze from the north-e.tst. Shoitly before mid-day the Danube brought up Sir Edmund Lyons from liinburn, and, after a brief delay, be passed over on board the Spitfire, in company with Admiral Stewart, to the anchorage of the French rear-admiral in the Dnieper, but with what result nobody as yet knows. Thus I have to tell you of no:bing but further delays-- of a waste of time, every day of which, at this season, ii precious, and doubly so under the circuinstsnces. Already have we seen largo masses of troops marching on Nico. laioff, and wo may rest well assured that every hour which our admirals thus waste in feeble indecision is being turned to the best possible account by the enemy in increasing and strengthening their defences. Since leaving Sebastopol I have had not a few opportunities of mingling with the officers of the fleet, and from hardly an individual of them have I heard any but such expressions of dissatisfaction, almost bordering on disgust, as those which I venture] to give utterance to in my last letter, when animadverting on the marvellous hesitancy and waste of time with which the expedition has asyet been conducted. So again in this minor gun-boat affair. We have steamed some 25 miles, wasted 4 days and literally done nothing whatever. So far as any thing can be learned, there is as yet only ono other ( ) battery, about five miles higher up the river than that which was fired upon us ; whilst there is at the same time an average depth of more than 20 feet of water right up to the southern face of the town of Nicolaieff, off which our gun-boats and steam-sloops could safely lie, and shell the dockyard and other public buildings beyond, without being in any degree exposed to the fire of a heavy fort on the next bend of the river. VISIT OF THE COLOMBO TO ODESSA. OFF KISBURN FORT, OCT. 23. Since penning the above hasty record of our last four days' idleness off the Bong and Dnieper, I have come down hither, and find a ship just starting for Constantinople with a large number of exchanged English and Turkish prisoners, received two days ago from the authorities at Odessa, during my absence with Admiral Stewart's flotilla. By the courtesy, however, of Capt. Methuen, in whosa ship, the steam transport the Colombo, they were brought off, and are now about to be sent on to Constantinople, I am enabled to send you a list of the Englishmen thus liberated, and (from another source) some few particulars of what took place on the occasion of their exchange. Tho former may be of interest to the relatives of the captured men, and I therefore append it in full, with the rank, regiment, or ship of each. After the receipt of a despatch from Constantinople on the 13th inst., Sir Edmund Lyons sent off the Colombo to Odessa on the following day, to deliver up two Russian officers, and the wife and child of one of them, in ex change for the mate, boatswain, and two sailors of 11.M.'n gun-boat Wrangler, who had been surprised and taken some weeks ago by a party of Cossacks, near Yenikale, on the Sea of Azoff. On reaching Odessa, the Colombo hoisted a white flag at her fore, and Captain Methuen, accompanied by Messrs. Smith and Moser, the first and second pursers of the ship, rowed towards the shore with a flag of truce. A Russian boat, however, put off at the same time from the landing-place, and met them about half way from the yes s7l, when Captain Methuen was informed that, in addi tion to the four men of the Wrangler, the Russian autho rities were prepared to deliver over 133 others, Eaglish, and 280 Tusks—the latter captured at various periods within the last two years in Asia and on the Danube. As the lateness of the hour, however, rendered it impractica ble to embark so largo a number of mon that evening, it was arranged tnat the exchange should bo made on the fol lowing morning. Accordingly, about 10 a.m. on Sunday, Capt. Methuen, accompanied as before and bearing with him his prisoners, rowed ashore, and was received at the landing-pier in the Quarantine by Gen. Krusenstern, Com mandant of Odessa ; Lieut. Colonel Prince Mestschevsky, Aide-de-Camp to Count Stroganoff, the Governor-General of Bessarabia; and the Chief of Police, with a numerous staff of attendant officers. As it was necessary that the documents connected with the exchange should be signed by Count Stroganoff, an orderly was despatched to his Ex ' cellency, who resides in a country house on the outskirts of the town ; but in the meantime the count himself came in, and was present during the remainder of the proceedings attending the embarkation. In the course of the conver sation at this interview, the commandant of Odessa put several incidental questions about the recent capture of Kinbourn, and, amongst others, inquired if any of our (English) floating batteries had been present. On receiving an answer in the negative—the French being the only ones -wise replied in a tone that,gave additional force to the ex• pressiou of his uncomplimentary estimate of our allies' courage in naval operations, " ne Jane pas de grand courage pour un epuipage cache" —alluding to the shot proof construction of the batteries. Ho further inquired the names of the two admirals, and was informed that, in consequence of his recent promotion, M. Bruat, being senior in rank, commanded in chief ; on which the general, turning to one of the others present, remarked in German, " Ist cs moglich!" (Is it possible !) In the meantime the liberated prisoners were being taken on board a small Gdessan steamer, and conveyed to the Colombo, in the roads, at the end of which operation Captain Methuen and his party returned on board their ship, much pleased with the courtesy they had received. During the progress of the embarkation, none of our people were permitted to make use of their legs on shore, the locomotion of all parties been restricted to the narrow and enclosed limits of the Quarantine. It was impossitle, therefore, to gain any occular information as to the coast defences the enemy have thrown up for the protection of their town ; but one of the Turkish prisoners, a bimbashi, taken near Kars last year, tolls me of three long and heavily armed redoubts above the Quarantine, mounting respectively 11, 14, and 23 guns. Though I do not myself attach value to the information of such an observer, it may be more or less accurate as far as it goes, and I therefore make a note of it in passing. How the bimbashi made his discoveries I do not pretend to say, though ho lays claim to having seen the above on his way down to the pier; for none of the English priso ners—and I questioned many of them—had been able to make out anything beyond the small earth-faced batteries near the Quarantine, which we had seen before from the fleet. Ou approaching the town the Colombo had drawn in so near to the shore as to induce General Krusenstern to remark to Captain Methuen that the proximity was such as might probably p rovo k e th e fi re o f th e b a tteri!s, in which case he would not be answera bl e f or any-'mischief that might arise. The ship was consequently carried fal; ther out into the roads, and h av i ng th er e received her 4 12 passengers, weighed an c h or on th e following morning for Kinburn, where the w h o l e o f the officers, soldiers, an d (naval) sailors have been transferred to the Agam e mnon and Royal Albert, for transmission to Balaklava. T he re mainder, composed of Turks and merchant sailors—the latter having belonged to ships cast away in the great ga l e of the 14th November—are, as I have said, to be sent on by the Colombo to C o nstantinople. And I may here conveniently remark on wh at strikes me as a groat hard shipasanilloirnsi,ufrte not ice i n the fact that these la s t, th e trans port to receive a shilling of compensation for the loss of their kits, or of pay f or one day for their en tire eleven mon ths ' captivity. Such, however, I learn to be the custcin i ; and, if it b e, I, for one, very ear nestly hope that t may in this extreme case be departed from by Lord Penni are. During their long detention the poor fellows have undergone hardships enough, heaven knows, without being now cast adrift penniless, or nearly so, without employment or any immediate moans of pro curing it. I venture to think that not even the strictest and most Peace-loving of Manchester economists would find fault with his lordship's generosity if he paid these poor men their wages for the whole term of their con finement. I have spoken with several of them, and find all entirely destitute of everything excepting the clothing given them by the Russians. To this brief narrative of the proceedings at Odessa I am glad to have an opportunity of adding what pppears to be a well-merited tribute of praise to the Russian authorities for their treatment of all the prisoners, both English and Turks. Every individual of both with whom I have conversed speaks in te rms o f hi g h eu l og y o f the liberality and general kindness which ho experienced. As n ill bo seen from the enclosed list, our own portion of the batch embraces m en o f a ll gra d es , from that of private to lieutenant, and o f near ly every arm of the service, who fell i n t o th e enem y's hands at widely d is t an t periods from e a c h o th er , and wore brought into contact with the officials and native population of several provinces ; yet all concur in bearing testimony to the kindness with which they were e verywhere treated. So, again, even the Turks, who, of course, fared rather worse, admit that they were well lodged, a bundantly fed, and warmly clothed — which is more than they ever were on the Danube or at Kars. Of our own men, some were taken as far back as the battle of 13alaklava, and others at various times since then iu the trenches; whilst of the Turks the majority were captured nearly a year and a half ago, during service w ith the Asiatic army at Batoum and Bayazid. After after having been vari ous l y scattered about, the whole were collectedinto one depot at Voronetz, a considerable town 300 wiles south-east of Moscow, whore they were lodged in APPETITE AND DIGESTION IMPROVED.

G.—There has been a very sen sible improvement of the market yesterday and this morning, both in yarn and cloth. The a dvices by the overland mail are the principal cause of this—not on account of any reported improvement in the demand for Calcutta or Bombay, but mainly through the expectation of a revived trade in China. A large demand has been felt in cloths suitable to China to-day, and orders could have been obtained for sorne time forward, at present prices ; but the result of business done has had the effect of sending up values, 3d, per piece for 3 9 inch shirtings according to some reports, and 3d. to 41d. per piece ne cording to others, above the prices current a fortnight ago. The demand is mostly of a speculative character, based upon the anticipation that this trade, so long reduced to almost nothing by the rebellion, is likely to assume something like its former healthiness. The goods shipped last month were little more than 2 per cent. of the export trade from this district. From Bom bay the advices hold out a prospect of a larger demand in twist and piece gocels during the month succeeding the date of the last mail. The demand for China has caused more inquiry in other cloths, and buyers have shown some anxiety to supply themselves before a more serious advance of prices occurs. In yarns numbers 16's and 24's water-twist for China are in large demand, and a good business has also been enacted in mule gene rally. Prices are d, per lb. higher than on this day week. LEEDS, Nov. G.—There hasbeen, all things considered, a fair amount of business done in the two cloth-halls to day, and the tone of the market has been rather b e tt er than on this day sennight. Great caution continues to he manifested on the part of buyers, who limit their purchases to their immediate wants. Some of the merchants would undoubtedly buy large quantities of plain cloths if an inducement were held out ; but the clothiers are indisposed to make concessions in the pre sent state of the wool-market, and are able to hold, al though stocks are rather IV: cu mulating, but no t to any degree that need excite alarm. Nothing like forced sales are made, and from that fact it may be inferred that the manufacturers are not pressed hard f or money, but that they are able to bear the pinching of the times, and that they are quietly loo ki ng f orwar d to a revival of trade at no distant day. The latest news from Ameriia beirg, as it is said, less threatening of war between this country and the States, has tended to give satisfaction, and has rather improved the tone cf the wo ll en t ra d e to day. Notwithstanding the continued high price of corn, the home trade for woollen cloths shows but a small de clension. There appears a regular demand, but it is ' easily met, owing to the flatness of the export trade. ?,,,*, NEW SERIAL WORK BY MR. CIIA.KLES DICKENS.
