Massacre." By refusing the liberation of Lieu- tenant GENESTE, and these who were captured along with him, in contravention of the recog nised rules of warfare, it has adopted and sanc tioned the infamous outrage, and placed itself beyond the pale of civilised nations. It is no longer the act'of a subaltern, or non-commissioned officer, but that of the Russian Minister of War nay, more, of the AUTOCRAT himself, for such a question could scarcely be kept from his know ledge. Tho enemy, therefore, stands revealed ia his true colours as an unmitigated barbarian, without a single redeeming feature in his charac ter—as one who is only deterred from the vilest assassination by cowardice ! and who would joy fully seize any opportunity of butchering unarmed and unresisting men whenever he had the chance of so doing. The sanguinary spirit was long since manifested. It was a similar feeling which led to the solemn mockery of celebrating the massacre at Sinop() by a "Te Dcn;n rendered the miscreants willing to butcher theh own wounded countrymen, whenever they could mingle their blood with that of the charitable foe engaged in alleviating their sufferings, and pouring balm into their wounds ! It will be manifest to the most superficial observer that there must be some extraordinary motive to induce them to refuse the appli cation for the liberation: of the prisoners. Were it otherwise they would at once have eagerly discharged them from custody. This they might have done without acknowledging the full extent of the infamy of those Mere immediately concerned in the disgraceful outrage. They might have restored Lieut. GENESTE and his fellow-sufferers to freedom, while still justifying or at least palli ating the ace of his captors ; and this they would unquestionably have done could they have allowed his unbiassed testimony to go forth to the world. But this they dare not do. They well knew that it would at once convict the immediate actors of wilful . , deliberate, and cold-blooded murder—oi the violation of the most sacred principles of war, and the authorities who inquired into the case of a gross and palpable suppressio Teri. They have clearly and distinctly ascertained the nature of the testimony which the ill-used officer a n d his *ten could give. We may be certain that they have individually and collectively been' strictly interrogated as to the events of that ill-omened day ; and if anything favourable to, or in auy way consistent to the Russian plea "could have been obtained there fromi there would have been an affectation of mag nanimity—an ostentatious pretext of exhibiting moray to those who, although they had erred, might have done so through mistake or inad vertence. BUt no ; the narrative was too clear and con vincing to admit of doubt. If it were told in extoiso there could be no hesitation. The guilt would be clearly brought home to the Muscovite assassins. It may be said that a letter from Lieu ten wit GENESTE was forwarded to the English Admiral. We must, however, remember that the: communication had been previously scruti nised by the Russian authorities, and that, most probably, every objectionable passage had been strictly expurgated by a vigilant censor. If, therefore; any extenuating circumstance could be gathered therefrom —and we cannot see how it is possible to do so—it would be utterly worthless - until the witness was able to tell, not only " the truth," but " the l'hole truth"—to detail all the incidents of the transaction, and to allow the verdict of other nations to be given, on full and satisfactory evidence. :we aro enabled, however, from the letter of Prince DALGOROIIKI to see how the final issuo stands. He has definitively withdrawn every im putation against " thelhonour of that ()Meer." He no longer pretends that the boat captured under a flag of truce was " taking soundings," or that "she was heavily armed," or that " the men who landed Were armed," or that there was ";nu flag of truce displayed," or that, if so, " it was unobserved by the Russians." All these special pleas have been abandoned, and the single justihea.tion relied ou i 3 that .".Lieutenant.G.E.' NESTE landed, without waiting for his eharact e a gas of truce -to be I.sgally admitted and wised by ti!le Russian authorities !" This was the head and. - front of his offending !—the only point which 'the cowardly assassins, and those who hale adopted and sanctioned their act, can refer to, as the justification of their con duct. It is 'virtually admitted that he exhibited a flag of true a, and that it was observed by the Rus sian troops,A nit because a simple form was wanting, because the flag was not " legally acknowledged" by the aut . horities, a few unarmed men, Russians as well as English, were to be shot down by an overwhelwing force of the enemy, and the sur vivcas , riere to be hurried into captivity, and not even an exchange permitted that might restore th e capti'ves to freedom, and allow them to give I their fall: and honest testimony. We ask for no more Cis al the Russian version to warrant the indi,Y uant reprobation of every right-minded man at an event which must be designated as " base, brutal, and bloody," and which must cast an indelible blot on the Muscovite escutcheon ! We have the authority of our immortal dra matist for the fact that the Englishmen of his time could never have enough of a good thing, find the history of the last year or two, to go back no further, amply demonstrates that our country men of the present day inherit to the full the same insatiable propensity. It is not our intention to enter at this moment on a philosophical investigation of the fact, and endeavour to show its origin, and whether, on the whole, good or evil predominates in the re sults. Our purpose is answered when we have called attention to one particular field, where the development of the passion has proved so glare ingly subversive of its object and productive of dis istrous results as to impeach the credit of our exporters, at least throughout the kingdom, for the possession of that shrewd common sense their vanity has led them to believe was in their espe cial keeping. The field to which we allude is Australia ; a colony of vast importance to this country, not Duly as a market for our rough and manufactured goods, but also as the chief source of the supply of the gold our national and commercial necessities require. And what has been the recent commer cial history of Australia ? The discovery and oartial development of her splendid resources led, of course, to an influx of adventurers from this country and elsewhere, and not only warranted, but called for; large exportation of goods from this country. So far good, but unfortunately our exporters grew blindly infatuated, and in their culpable ignorance knew not where to stop. jl hundred circumstances should have warned them great as might be the demand, the Ricans of -supply at home were infinitely greater, and that it was far from difficult to glut the Australian mar- Islets. So hot, however, was the fever for gain that no warning availed. Shipload after shipload of goods, suitable and unsuitable, were sent out— the markets grew languid, the consignees alarmed, Ltd thipload after shipload more pressed heavier Ind heavier upon them. Trade was paralysed, and, if sold, goods had to be transferred at half heir prime cost in England. Of course hundreds both here and there were ruined, and the prospects of that fine colony were obscured by an apparently impermeable cloud. This was the more unfortunate, because of the war we arc now waging, the effect being the large liminutions noticeable in the late returns of the Board of Trade, at a period when the exigencies )f the country rendered more than ever desirable the overflow of every available resource. But to return. The worst being reached, affairs began to mend, and, we are happy to learn from the latest accounts, are now fairly on the way to a healthy state. Imports are looking up, and empty markets call for supply. How s that call likely to be answered ? Despite every warning, in the teeth of national interests, will &he game of mad speculation be again played, aud, in the lust for gain, stimulated by the success of a few, enormous losses be again incurred by many ? or, taking warning from experience, will common sense have its legitimate weight, and, so far as may be, determine the supply by the pro bable demand ? To these questions we can re turn no answer. All that we can do is to express a hope that the lesson recently taught may prove to have exerted a wholesome influence, and that the commercial convalescence of the colony will not be retarded, nor its bright prospects clouded by a selfish blindness of which every sensible Enc,rlis'n merchant should be ashamed, and through which the cause of civilisation itself may in some degree suffer. Fire Insurance is every man's business, and it is equally every man's busines3 to get his property insured on the most reasonable terms' compatible with safety. We invite attention, therefore, to the merits of a cominny which has just served its seven years' apprenticeship, the report of whose annual meeting appears in another column. Its distinction from other fire-offices is its unqualified adoption of the mutual principle, in virtue of which, all profits revert----in this case triennially —to the insurers. At the same time, by means of a large guarantee fund, of which but a trivial portion is called up, the fullest provision is made against any possible emergency. The shareholders in the fund do not, as in proprietary offices, par ' ticipate in the profits, these belong wholly to the assured, but receive only the market rate of inte rest for their money. It is, we must confess, difficult to conceive a plan iu which legitimate economy can be more effectually combined with security ; on the on% hand the possible losses of the year, or of many years, could never exceed the guarantee fund ; indeed, fire losses are, cn the average, much below the current receipts for premiums, otherwise the old proprietary offices, i instead of yielding a handsome, profit, would long ago have ceased to exist ; on the other hand, by returning triennially the entire profits to the in , surers, the latter are guaranteed 'igainst paying eventually one shilling too much for their safety. The last year has been, from some cause—we are inclined to think it must be the long periods of dry weather —unusually prolific in fires. So far as our recollection goes we hardly remember having to record so many in the same space of time. The accounts of such offices as publish them corroborate this statement ; in some cases they have swallowed up the premiums, in others doubled their amount ; and it is well known that most of the offices, whose balance-sheet does not meet the public eye, have also suffered unusually. The British Empire has been no exception in this respect, but, as the report justly observes, the amount paid for losses by fire, is, in fact, the index of a Company's usefulness. On the aver age of years the proportion of fire losses is about equal ; but a Fire Company prevents the great difference of particular years from being felt by the ptiblic. With such warnings as the past year has furnished it is wonderful that any person should neglect to insure his property. The greaterpart of house and goods property, no doubt, is insured ; but great numbers ' neglect insuring their furnituro and household property, small as the:Eh lik-0-ig; 'and•great as the 'hatard.-fronrin numerable causes must be. • The report of the Britizh Empire remixis us of the extortionate character of the Government r duty. Even when the fire losses equal or double a company's receipts for premiums, still there is the inflexible duty to pay. The duty is clearly like an ungraduated income tax, a tax on prudence and honesty. The man who hazards insolvency to save the charge for insurance escapes the tax ; the man who secures himself against dependence and his creditors against loss must pay it—a tax, too, averaging cent. per cent. on the premium required by the office, and on a large class of property amounting to two hundred per cent. ! We are glad to see the British Empire Fire-office protesting against this unrighteous tax. Unfortunately there are two formidable difficulties in the way of its abolition in addition to the present omniverous demands of the War—the old offices, and the country landlords. The old offices clear very large sums by the Govern ment allowance for collecting the duty ; and, as they have plenty of business, •it only swells the proprietors' profits to have their office expenses paid from this source. The lords of the soil again have managed to get the insurance o f farming stock freed from duty, and they do not object to a tax which is thus wholly removed from land ; it is of a piece with the policy which pays only half legacy duty on their estates, and which pays no probate duty, while all others must pay it ere they can prove their will. The monstrosity of the tax, which, if possible, ought rather to be exchanged for some privilege to insured property, must when Russia permits insure its speedy abolition. A mutual office is the proper leader in the cause. Its members have no interest like the proprietors of other companies in retaining the duty. What they would save through the Government allow ance to their office of five per cent. is of course but one-twentieth part of what they would save by abolishing the duty. We would earnestly exhort the British Empire Fire Company, there fore, to head a movement for the repeal of the Fire Duty. The public must be with them. " The demands of the War" are not to last for ever. Had we but an honest anti-Russian Court and Cabinet the war might have taught Russia its last lesson by this time, and in another cam paign would have ruined her for a generation to come. In any case the sooner this company or any other will arouse public attention, the sooner can the first political or financial opportunity be turned to account. In conclusion, we must acknowledge that, as a Alt - ru - AL Fire Company, the British Empire has a right to ask—in the words of the resolution passed at the meeting—" the co-operation of all classes of the community in obtaining the widest possible support for an institution founded exclu sively for the public advantage."

Mrs. Bagley, though still in a precarious state, has improved so far as to be able to answer questions. The expectation that she would be able to throw light upon the affair has proved unfounded, as she is unable to afford any information on the subject. It is conjec tured, therefore, that she must have been stunned by a I blow while asleep. Unless detected by some of the articles taken from the cottage, there will, it is feared, be much difficulty in identifying the murderer, should he be arrested. THE BALAKLAVA RAILWAY.—Mr. Betts, of the firm of Pete, Brassey, and Betts, writes that since the opening of the Balaklava Railway to the heights, the line has been in constant use, with the exception of the stoppsge of 36 hours, arising from tho waterspout which covered the approaches to the harbour, and drowned upward s of 30 Croats and Tu r k s . Since the formation of the line it has been doubled, and is now being effectually drained and ballasted for the winter work. General Simpson, in reply to Lord Panmure's inquiries as to the condition of the line on the 19th instant, states :—" The present railway is on the best site that can be obtained, and when effectually drained and ballasted, which is being done, will be quite free from floods." Mr. Betts believes that when it is thoroughly complete in the ballasting and draining, it will, with proper attention, be maintained in perfectly good order during the coming winter also. Lord Panmure has sent out 150 more car riages, to I•eplace those which have been in constant work, as they require it from time to, time.

RUSSIAN VERSION OF THE BATTLE OF THE TCHERNAYA. The Inralide Russe gives the following version of the Battle of the Tchernaya "A report was received yesterday from Aide de-Camp General Prince Gortschakoff, dated Aug. sth (17th), containing the following details, which explain his short telegraphic despatch of the same day. " Desirous of turning away the enemy from the siege-works of Sebastopol, and at the same time to make sure of the forces of the Allies, Prince Gortschakoff undertook an offensive move ment in the valley of the Tchernaya with a por tion of the troops encamped on Mackenzie heights. "On the 4th (16th) of August, at 4 a.m., these troops divided themselves into two columns; the right, commanded by Aide-de-Camp General Read, took a front direction against the so-called Fedukhine heights, and the left, commanded by Lieut.-General Liprandi, advanced on Tchorgoun. In a moment the two columns drove away the enemy from the right bank of the Tchernaya. Lieut.-General Liprandi occupied the heights of Tchorgoun. On its side the right column ad vanced with extraordinary rapidity towards the river, crossed it under the violent fire of the enemy's batteries, then crossed a large canal of the aqueduct, and carried on by the excitement of battle advanced directly on the Fedukhine heights. "In the interval the enemy had already had time to bring up considerable forces to the menaced point of their fortified position. The troops of the right column, who were scaling the escarpment, met a desperate resistance there. All the efforts of our brave infantry were fruitless. On this occasion we suffered IA disastrous loss. General Read and tiv3 Chief of hi 4 Staff, Major- General de Weimarn, were the first to fall. " The Commander-in-Chief, however, hastened up in all haste to the right column, and seeing that our troops were wasting their heroic efforts on that point ordered a retreat behind the Tchernaya.* " Having retired to about half-cannon range, Prince Gortschakoff ordered his lines of battle to halt, in the hope that the enemy would pursue us and offer us the opportunity of fighting them in the open field. The Allies, however, did not stir from their positions ; after remaining four hours in view of our adversaries our troops quietly returned to Mackenzie heights. " In announcing with grief the losses we have suffered, Prince Gortschakoff at the same time pays a tribute to the unexampled courage dis played by our troops in the sanguinary combat of the 4th (16th) August, and he attributes the losses to the excess of ardour of the right column. " The enemy having driven back our attack did not dare to take the offensive, despite its nu merical superiority." * " At this moment Aide-de-Camp General Baron Wrewsky, who was at the side of the Commander-in- Chief was bit by a cannon-ball. A quarter of an, hour previously his horse ha I been shot und:er him, but de spite the contusion he had then received, he had remained by the side of Prince Gortschakoff." THE WAR IN ASIA. The Invalids Busse publishes the following ex tract from a report of Aide-de-Camp General Mouravieff, dated from the camp near the village of Kerpi-Keuv, 24th of July (sth of August) : " From the 10th to the 24th of July (31st of July to the sth of August) a portion of the active corps carried out an offensive movement beyond the Saganloug uuder the command of Aide-de- Camp General Mouravieff in person. " The object of this operation was to disperse a detachment of more than 14,000 men, with 32 guns, which under Vely-Pasha, occupied a forti fied position near Kerpi-Keuv, and thus to de prive the garrison of Kars of the last hope of re ceiving succour from Erzeroum. " On the 19th (31st) of July, leaving half his ' clrps before Kars, under the command of Lieut.- General de Brummer, to maintain the blockade of the place, General Mouravieff, with theremainder of the troops under the command of Lieut.-Gene ral Kovalevsky, advanced in the direction of Zevin, when our advanced guard arrived on the evening of the same day. " Simultaneously, with this movement; Major- General Sousloff, Commander of the Erivan De tachment, received orders to advance from Toprah- Kale on Kerpi-Keuv, and to be on the 20th of. July (Ist of August) beyond the last incline of Delibaba, 20 versts from Kerpi-Keuv, whence he was to march on the enemy's position to take it in the rear. " On the 21st of July (2d of August) the ad vanced guard of the main column joined General Sousloff's detachment near the village of Koman sour, and thence the two detachments advanced towards the bridge over the A raxes. There they came upon 4,000 irregular horse, who, after a short skirmish, withdrew into their entrenched camp. Without awaiting the attack of our troops the Turks took advantage of a dark night, that between the 21st and 223 July (2d -3d August), to fall back on Erzeroum, abandoning the camp and the very considerable amount of provisions it contained. The retreat was done in such haste and disorder that in the course of one night about 2,000 irregular troops of the enemy disbanded. " In their pursuit our advanced detachments arrived within 15 veistes of Erzeroum, where Vely Pacha had shut himself 'up to await the re inforcements he expects. " Having attained their object and deprived the garrison of Kars of the possibility of receiving support, our troops co mmenced their retrograde movement, Lieut.-General Kovalevsky on Kars, and Major-Gen. Sousloff on ToprahatEN "Meantime Lieut.-General de Brummer; left , before Ears had transferred his detachment to the village of Komatnour on the right bank of the Kars-tchai, and on the 19th, 23d, 2t3th, and 28th of July (31st of July, 4th, 7th, and 9th of August) made four expeditions against the enemy's foragers, each of which was crowned with success ; on every point the parties were dis persed, and the provisions. they had collected fell into our Lamb," THE CRIMEA. Tho Attract/ de St. Petersbourg publishes Prince Gortschalmff's journal of the operations in the Crimea to August 14, preceded by the following summary: " On the 11th the besieger commenced a brisk can nonade with his batteries, concentrating his fire mainly against the Karabelnaia. '• The mining operations of the enemy in front of bastion No. 4 (the Flagstaff) are limited on the part of the enemy to explosions of mine chambers, which have not done us any harm. "The enemy continues laborious in the construction of entrenchments near the Chersonesus church. His approaches in front of his first line have made no pro gress. Tho opening of embrasures, in the facings strengthened by his nearest trenches, against the bas tions frum Malakhoff to the bay, shows that the besieger intends forthwith to cannonade and bombard the Karabelnaia with redoubled vigour. "During the three days (from August 11 to 14) our line of defence of Sebastopol has been strengthened by three new batteries ; all damages in the works have been repaired. Our rampart-artiliery replies actively and successfully to the fire of the enemy. " The subterranean war, temporarily suspended in front of the bastion No. 4 (Flagstaff) assumes more acti vity in front of the Bastion No. 5 (Central), and the Schwartz redoubt, where the enemy has begun to work, but we have stopped his miners by carnouflets. RUSSIA. A letter from Odessa, of 11th Aug., speaking of the efforts made by the Russian Government to re organise its fleet in the Black Sea, says :—" The Intendance of the fleet of the Black Sea have just taken measures to procure a supply of timber for the construction of large vessels of war ; this timber is to be taken from the Imperial forests of the governments of Minsk and Volhynia, and delivered at Sebastopol and at Nicolaieff. 'I here is to be furnished in the winter of 1855 oak for the con struction of ships of the line, one of which is to be of 131 guns, and 450,000 cubic feet of timber is to be also delivered for smaller vessels, for repairs, (17c. This timber is to be delivered by preference at Sebastopol, but if that should be impossible, at Nicolaieff." The same letter says :—" The num ber of sick and wounded from the Crimea has so increased at Ekaterinoslaw, that the nobility have been obliged to give up their magnificent Casino to be converted into an hospital." A letter from St. Petersburg, in the Silesian Gazette, says :—"At the commencement of the pre sent year, there were in circulation in this country credit notes to the amount of 556,337,021 silver roubles (the silver rouble is somewhat over 4fr.), being 244,961,440 roubles more than at the begin ning of 1853. The cash in hand which is to gua rantee this paper money has only increased during the same period by 4,990,137 roubles, having been at the beginning of 1853 146,794,848, and at the commencement of this year 151,790,895. The debt of Russia at the beginning of 1853 was as follows : —Due abroad at fixed periods, 57,149,000 Dutch florins (the Dutch florin is somewhat over 2fr.) ; Home Debt, 110,867,050 silver roubles ; debt re quiring to be paid at any moment, 223,861,476 silver roubles, and 5,280,000 sterling. These figures prove that the financial situation of Russia is very critical, and that it must get worse and worse every clay, since the expenses caused by the war are estimated at 20 millions of silver roubles a month." A letter from Warsaw of the 22d, in the Augs bury Gazette, says :—" Soon after the bombard ment of Sweaborg the Grand Duke Constantine went to that fortress in order to have the damage caused by the enemy repaired as quickly as possible. The Intendance-General of the army in Poland in tend very shortly to have another sale by auction of a number of cattle and a quantity of salt meat and other supplies, which had been collected in the different fortresses of Poland. The bridge of boats over the Proja, which was last year moved from where it had formerly stood, has been replaced in its original position." FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. The opinion that Austria shows at last unequi vocal signs of adhesion to the active policy of the Allies appears to gain ground, not among the pub lic at large, but in thbse quarters where the best information is supposed to be obtained. That opinion is expressed in more than one of the Ministerial journals, and will probably be again insisted upon. The Moniteur publishes a notification from the Minister of the Interior, reminding the public that no individual can, for the purpose of private print ing, have in his possession or employ small presses, of whatever kind they may be, without a previous authorisation from the Minister in Paris, or from the Prefects in the departments. Persons in fringing this law will be liable to six months' im prisonment, and 10,000 f. fine. Typefounders, stereotype-founders, and ma lufacturers of presses of all kinds, as well as dealers in printing utensils, must keep a book in which they are to enter the names and addresses of persons purchasing any of their articles, and they are from time to time to send a copy of such entries to the Prefect, in default of which they will be liable to a penalty of from 50f. to 200 f. The Union de l'Ouest gives some further parti culars relative to the late disturbances at Angers : —" The rioters first attacked the barrack of the firemen at Trelaze and carried off their arms ; they also broke into several private houses and took away fowling pieces, pistols, and gunpowder. Being thus provided with a certain quantity of arms, the rioters, at that time about 250 in number, proceeded towards - the slate quarries, and on their way broke into several shops where gunpowder was sold, and seized in all about 200 kilogrammes of it, in five bags, which they placed in the cart, after wards seized by the armed force. It was after they had got this supply that they obtained the greatest number of their recruits, and it was about three in the morning when they arrived in the Faubourg Bressigny, of Angers, and it was there that the troops charged arid dispersed them. In addition to Guerin and Chauvin, mentioned yesterday, three other noted anarchists wore arrested, namely Collet, compromised in the affair, of the secret society Ma rienne ; Taim, acquitted at the late trial in Paris for that affair ; and a man named Foin, also known to have formed part of that society. The reason put forward for assembling—dearness of food—was evidently only a pretext. The real object of the rioters was pillage and the carrying out of Socialist doctrines. The number of arrests amounts to 115." The American vessel, the Lady Suffolk, left Havre yesterday . for the Crimea with stores on board, consisting Of compressed hay, biscuit, sugar, and coffee, in all 1,097 tons. General Canrobert has left Paris, to take part in the business of the Council-General of the Lot-et- Garonne, of which he is a member. BOURSE, AUG. 31.—CLosma PRICES. Cash, fr. e.

We read in the Courrier de Marseilles of the 29th inst. " The quantity of war materiel daily conveyed to our port by the railway and the Rhone steamers is truly ncredible. The quays of La Joliette are literally covered with mountains of bombs of every size, mortars, and enormous siege guns. Independently of the transports chartered for the purpose, every large steamer leaving with troops car ries, on ailaverage, 1,000 tons of materiel. Gunpowder for the army in the East is daily received in largo quan tities. Since the beginning of the war 7,500,000 tons weight were shipped in our port. The following vessels are now loading, and will shortly proceed to the seat of war :—The English stea:ner Armenian, which is to take on hoard SO men, 78 horses, and between 200 and 300 tons of materiel ; the American clipper Lilliersi 400 troops and materiel ; the steam-packet Provence, 100 men and 80 horses ; the clipper Eliza, 400 men and ma teriel ; the steamer Sully, 200 men and materiel ; the English steamer Great Northern, 100 men and 80 horses ; the clipper Bread of Seed, 500 troops and ma teriel ; the Sardinian steam-packet Count de. Carour, 150 men ant ns many horses, &c. Yesterday a large body of troops left tiro port of La Joliette. The two splendid English et:amers Alma and Candia, having in Ow the Mary Ann and Eva transports, embarked about 4,000 men. This spectacle had a'tractcd on a pier an immense crowd of people, who followed the operations with in tense interest. The band of the 84th Regiment, which was on beard the Alma, performed its gayest sympho pies during the embarkation. When the res sel4weighed anchor the spectator's cheered our soldiers with the most sympathetic aeclamations. Cries of Vive l'Ernpereur, energetically raised from the fou r vessels responded to . the sheet,' of the population.

We have just learned that Captain Magnan arrived at Messina in the Cygne, Rhone steamer, on the 22d, 40 hours after her departure from Civita Vecchia. This small vessel had to contend against a heavy side sea, and, nevertheless, she reached the port with her hold perfectly dry. By the Carmel, which arrived yesterday, we learn that the Cygne had continued her voyage, and was met off the lonian Islands," AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Aug. 28.---The Donau, a well-conducted Vienna paper, contains an article on the conse qu laces of the war to Russia, which merits the more attention as the writer is evidently without prejudice in favour ( , f the Western Powers. After observing that the allies have not yet succeeded in obtaining any decisive advan6ge "in the field " over their enemy, the Austrian journalist says : " But still the most influential persons in the Russian Empire must be extremely desirous to bring the war to a close." The reasons why such should be the case are thus given. The strict blockade maintained by the allies has entirely in terrupted the Russian export trade, excepting on the frontiers towards East Prussia, Posen, and Gailicia. That some part of the raw produce of Russia still finds its way into Prussia and Austria is certain, but Russia has fe.v high roads, and con ' sequently her corn, hemp, tar, tallow, wool, and lin seed have always been sent there by sea. Many of the manufactories in the interior are standing still, and, as a consequence, her trade with Central Asia and Persia is almost stagnant. The continual levies impoverish the noble landed proprietors, whose serfs are their only capital ; but still they are expected to pay the same amount of taxes as they did before the war commenced. The precious metals have entirely disappeared, and the paper currency is greatly deteriorated. The last loan was raised with extreme difficulty, arid it is now the question of a forced one. At a moderate calcula tion the war . has already cost 600,000,000 of florins. " These," concludes the Donau, " are a few of the reasons why Russia wishes for peace." A letter from Berlin in the Cologne Gazette states that M. Zembke, Councillor of Legation at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has been sent on a special mission to Copenhagen. It is thought that the object is connected with the Sound dues. The Piedmontese Gazette quotes a telegraphic despatch from General Alfonso La Marmora, an nouncing that General Monte-Vecchio was not killed, as stated, but is recovering from his wounds.

GOLD DUST ROBBERY.— TVilliam Williams, a respect- ably-dressed young man, of sallow complexion, and who wals lame, was charged under the following circum stances Mr. Andrew Swanzy deposed that he was an African merchant, of 39, Clement's-lane. He had several esta blishments on the coast of Africa. In March last the prisoner entered his service under an agreement as clerk, and he was stationed at Cape Coast Caste. From in formation he received he made inquiries, and ascertained the prisoner had arrived in this country without permis sion from him or his agents. The prisoner not caring upon -him on his return raised a suspicion in his mind, be cause he bad received a letter from Cape Coast Castle,dated 16th July, in which no intimation was made of the pri soner's being about to leave that place. His duties were to receive money, gold-dust, and mercantile produce generally, and to account for the same. He communi cated his suspicions to the police, who apprehended the prisoner. After he was in custody witness had an in terview with him at Bow-lane station-house. Without putting any question to him, he expressed his sorrow for what he had done ; said that he regretted it very much, and that fear prevented him calling on him after his arrival in London. Ho would give him every information relative to all the pro perty ho had taken ; and, on questioning him rela tive to a small box of gold-dust in the officer's possession, he said it was part of the produce of the sales of witness's stores. He stated he had brought away 2484 ounces, of which he held the bill of lading. The box of gold-dust produced was obtained from the ship ping agent, but there was a deficiency on the whole of nearly 100 ounces, worth about 3701. The prisoner, when told of the deficiency, said he could not account for it. He paid freight on the larger quantity. He ad mitted he had. taken 45 English sovereigns, and also a number of dollars. By Sir W. Carden—He said he saw the gold-dust packed in the presence of the captain of the ship and others. Freight is paid according to value. It was in sured, but nct being consigned to him the insurance was not covered. The gold was packed in a box made on board the ship by the prisoner. The prosecutor asked 'Sir W. Carden to take a lenient view of the case. The priqpner appeared to be suffering very much, and he was certain it was not a premeditated act on his part. He was of very respectable family, his father having been Colonial Secretary at Cape Coast Castle. Sir W. Carden said it Aces strang.e how the deficiency in the gold dust could have arisen. . . The proaecutor said it could not have been abstracted by the prisoner. It was not in his possession after it was on board the ship. Sir W. Carden said that by a discrepancy in the law he was afraid this was no offence. John Storey, the detective officer, said he apprehended the prisoner at the Portugal Itntel, Fleet•street. He found no property in his possession. Sir W. Carden said he would remand the prisoner for three weeks on bail, to enable him to look into the law. The prizoner was accordingly liberated on bail, several of his friends being present. 'UTTERING A FORGED CllEClL—fanies Gilman, a lad 16 years of age, was placed at the bar before Sir R. Carden, charged with uttering a forged check for 201., with intent to defraud Mr. Geo. Brooks, of St. S within lane. The check was purported to be signed by Samuel Harris. It a ppeared from the evidence adduced that the pri soner was accosted last evening near St. Clement's-lane by two men, who gave him a letter and requested him to take it to Mr. Brooks, in St. Swithin's•lane, wait for an answer, and bring back to them what was given to him. The prisoner went with it to Mr. Brooks, in whose absence the letter was opened by Mr. Bowyer, his ma nager. He found it contained a request to change the inclosed check, but believing it to be a forgery he sent the note by one of their clerks, accompanied by the pri soner, to Mr. Harris's, when it was found to be a forgery. The prosecutor said he had every reason to believe the boy had been made the dupe of some designing men. The rolize said they had ma d e ilavirjohlrit had been unable to find the persons. They bad no doubt the boy bad been made a tool of by the men. Sir R. Carden said he was inclined to believe it was true. He told the boy's mother, who was present, tbat her son left the court without any stain on his character , and advised him to be mor, cautious for the future. The prisoner was then discharged. GUILDHALL. ASSAULT.— Griffith Davis, a young man, w ith his face much cut, was charged before Mr. Alderman Finnis with assaulting Win. Andre ws, a coffee-house keeper.
