The reports on the intended policy of the War are almost as contradictory as those on the in tended strategiof Generals SIMPSON and PEussinn. On Monday we were all down-hearted with the announcement that Sebastopol was to be razed and the basins filled up. The next clay it was stated that the announcement was probably pre mature. At first ammunition, which was in course of shipment at Marseilles, was stopped, a day or two after, and we read " that shell and cartridges are being shipped." Of course nothing leaks out of the intentions of the Cabinets in any authentic form. Even the Moniteur, generally our best informant' during the recess, is silent. Somewhat unofficially, though a Prime Minister must know that his positive assertions, anywhere, must pass for authority, Lord PALMERSTONE gives us his general view of the position. On the boards of a railway platform he meets a large number of farmers, the Premier discourses with them, first, Of course, on the price of wheat ; the conversa tion branched oft; as a matter of course, to the War, when he assured them that the army was in a most efficient state, the hospitals, such as Lon don might envy, and Sebastopol so far left entire as to furnish very comfortable 'winter quarters for the Allied troops. He emphatically added, " that they might rest assured that the power and pre tensions of Russia would be effectually humbled be fore the Allied Powers would consent to a peace." If but one adverb in this sentence retain its place to the last, as an expression of the determi nation of the Allies, all England, and all Europe will be satisfied. Russia is now humbled ; that she should be effectually humbled is the all-im portant point. To " raze Sebastopol and to fill up the basins," which implies giving back the Crimea to Russia, would be the very opposite of effectual humbling. Houses can be rebuilt, rub bish can be cleared out of dockyard basins, and the provocation would be very effectual, we must think, to remove the humiliation when we left the enemy full opportunity to do it. Think of the Russians filling up any of our naval dockyards, and then abandoning them Why, every Englishman would pay any amount of income tax till they were rendered ten times better and more formidable than before. Can the Allies be so foolish as thus to provoke Russia to make Sebastopol a second Gibraltar, or - Valetta, till peace could only result, in a few years, in a hitherto unheard-of aggrandisement of Russian power in the East ? As yet we refuse to believe it. Keep the Crimea, refrain from the barbarism of destroying noble docks and buildings, put Sebastopol into the hands of a commercial nation, open it as a free port to all nations, drive the Russians from all the ports of the Sea of Azoff, and leave them to free commerce with the world, and we believe a state of things would soon arise in the East which would supersede and repel for ever the uncom inhree Tartarial ' half-civilised Government of the CZARS. T w ould s the Kuban and north of th e e tribes on Crimea eon re-acquire the character of which Russia de p rived them, and become flourish ing, independent, and vigorous. Our practical the Circassians, would develop th e manly capacities' of their nature ; and the n tories of Asia, indeed of the and noble A dies,, entire adjacent t er whole of the Black Sea, would feel the impulse Sebastopol is by far the Sebastop noblest harbour in the Euxine, and, if diverted given to civilszatio n. from its infernal and bloody destiny to the peace ful purposes of trade, it might become the grand naval mart of the East. This alone would be an "effectual" humiliation to the power of Russia. It would be not only casting out the Legion of Devils, but putting the man clothed and in his right mind in their place. If we may pursue such an illustration, the opposite plan would bring back the seven devils worse than the former,, and the last state of the city would ho worse than the first.

V ~lS~~iL!, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 185►5. --- . -- • The full particulars of the terrible conflict o f the Bth inst., which terminated in the evacuatioi I of the south side, and the virtual capture of till; entire of Sebastopol, have at length been re. cefvecl. It is not, however, from official sourcfmt that we are enabled to communicate the graphic and brilliant description of the striking events of that glorious day. It is to private enterprise and private genius that we are indebted for the► admirable account which we have transferred into our columns from those of our great contemporary the Times. It would indeed be a matter of the , greatest interest to the community in general if' our Generals, who have quite enough to do in. directing the operations of the War, were• allowed to have literary assistants, whose espe cial duty it should be to " chronicle" great; events, and to forward early narratives thereof, worthy a place in the national archives. Mr. WILLIAM RUSSELL, the well known Time.'' Correspondent, would certainly make an excellent, laureate, whose rapid delineations of these event ful transactions would require little, if any, re vision. Wily is there not a Military Secretary . to describe great contests, and transmit the intel ligence without any unnecessary delay ? Thu Commander-in-Chief is too busily engaged in planning the operations which the results of the clay render advisable to devote the necessary time and attention to the task. He has other and more important du ties than those of the mere scribe to look to, and other qualifications than those of a talented author should be Sought for lit the selection of a General. But, under existing circumstances, we are compelled to put up. with meagre accounts of matters, respecting which. the public interest is greatly excited, because Wel require persons selected for arduous and impor tant duties to discharge so many varied function —for some of which they may be perfectly in competent, although possessing the highest quali fications for the others. "Brave men lived before Agamemnon, although: 11 they had not poets to sing them." It is an in— vidious task to impose on any General the nar—, London to give orders in the Euxine is so clear to every man of common sense that nothing but a wicked and infatuated subserviency to Aus tria and Germany can account for its not being put in force. The whole Euxine, and all its ports, with the embouchure of the Danube, might now be secured for ever to honest and commercial purposes ; and might be placed in hands which would have no temptation to abuse the possessor to purposes of conquest. The Principalities might long ere now—even the Times itself having re peatedly demanded it—been placed in the hands of a Government of their own, under the • long tried and easy suzerainty of the Porte. But, we repeat, it is the hateful Austrianism of the main influence which actuates or fetters our Cabinet that is the real danger. We cannot too jealously watch the German influence on the supreme managers of the War in this country. We notice with pleasure that the Thanksgiving Day to be appointed this time is fixed for a Sun day, the 30th of Sep'eruhr. We have so fre quently urged the desirableness of choosing the day on which all Christians 'neet spontaneously for worship as the proper day fcr any special act of worship, that we can but feel gratified with this tardy homage to common—we might rather say Christian sense. The Christian assemblies who do not need the Archbishop of CANTERBIIRY'S aid to prepare a thanksgiving prayer for them, doubtless offered their thanks givings in common as soon as they heard the glad tidings. It were mere vanity to wish, and mere tyranny to compel, them to throw away a whole day, at the bidding of the QUEEN, for what they have already done from the natural and com bined impulse of joyful and devout feelings. No doubt many of them, however, will renew their thanksgivings with those of their brethren of the Established Church. Thankfulness, so that it be sincere, is no burden, and the whole sub ject furnishes a noble theme for the preacher. Indeed it is one of the recommendations of Sun day for these special services that it helps to vary the monotony of both the sermon and the prayers, especially if the latter be reasonably Curtailed for the occasion. On a Sunday ser vices which should keep us all awake would of itself be no small gain. We must not forget to notice the blessing to the poor man of this Sunday Thanksgiving Day. He will not be compelled now to sacrifice a day's wages at the present price of bread. This is one of the most important considerations of all. To rich the loss of a day is nothing. To the poor, in numberless instances, it is a com pulsory fast ; and this is a poor preparation for thanksgiving. We suppose it is too much to hope that the old form of commanding people to worship GOD will be given up. We know the plea of etiquette. The reply is—Let her MA JESTY command any subject into her own pre sence ; but who has authorised her to command him into the presence of his GOD ? DRVIRY-LANE THEATRE. The enterprisijog lessee of this national establishment commences his reg,ular dramatic season on Monday even ing next, with ene of the most extraordinary novelties ever produced. It is an R.fyptian drama, entitled Nitocris, from t!S.4s.pen of Fitzhall. and which has been upwards of eight en months in preparation. Among the names of the lad ics and gentlemen engaged for the sea son we observe I::aoste of Miss G:yn, Miss Anderton, Mr. C. Mathews,. M r. Barry Sullivan, Mr. R. Roxby, Mr. Stuart, and a w bole host of London favourites. The scenic departme tit has been placed under the direction of Mr. W. Bever fey, which is a sufficient guarantee for its splendour. 'Vie trust that -the exertions of Mr. Smith will be at n:ply rewarded. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—The marriage of Miss Peel, youngest (laughter of the late Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel, wi, the Hon.

THE ERAINTR E:E CHURCH-RATE CONTEST.—The testi monial to Mr. S m.muel Courtauld, in recognition of his services in the 'memorable Braintree Church-rate con test, was presen fed yesterday at that town. The cere mony was a mo: n'; attractive one. The Marco Pt 00, which gained well-deserved celebrity for her quick p shssage to Australia, seems to have lost much of it by 6er late voyage to Melbourne, having taken 83 days in 4 her passage out.

Mr. Coxwell, who was accompanied in his aerial flight by a foreign gentlem an, contemplated using on this occasion the system of telegraph signals invented by himself, and satisfactorily demon strated in several previous instances; but the boisterous S' tate of the weather frustrated his in tentions in that resj wet.

L ATE ST NEWS.I EYid A rr !IL; T AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. THE FRENCH LOSS AT SEBASTOPOL. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Liverpool cotton market yesterday closed tamely and steadily, without the least change in prices. The sales were 5,000 bales-1,000 for ex port, and' 1,000 on speculation, comprising 40 Pernam and Maranham, Gad. ; 50 Bahia, 6d. ; 180 Eg3ptian, sd. to 6d. ; and 500 Surat, 4d. to 4id. The Railway Share Market was without feature, at the currency of Monday. PARIS, WEDNESDAY MORNING. The Moniteur contains a second report from Marshal Pelissier of the precise extent of the French loss on the Bth. It is thus stated : KILLED. 5 Generals. 24 Superior Of6.ers.. 116 Subalterns. 1,489 Rank and File. Describing the state of the markets for the prin cipal articles of consumption, Messrs. H. W. Jewes bury and Co. observe that— "The markets for colonial produce during the past month have been very active, and the prices of some of the leading articles have advanced considerably. The rise in the bank rate of discount on the 6th inst. from 31 to 4 per cent., and subsequently on the 13th f rom 4 to 41 percent., with the general expectation that 5 per cent. will shortly be made the minimum rate, has checked the advance in produce ; and transactions, except for sugar, have become more limited during the last eight or ten days. The arrivals since our last have beep: moderate, but the deliveries for export and home use continue large, and the stock of several of our chief articles show a further decrease. Dyes and dyeing materials have been in !fair demand. Indigo is firm. Coehineal and safflower are both dearer. In other articles there is no alteration to notice. The late advices from the Conti nental produce markets report large transactions at ad vanced rates. From the woollen districts the reports notice a somewhat languid market, but, about an aver age amount of business has been d .ne. From the cotton districts transactions are again reported as limited, and the tendency of prices is against spinners and manufac turers. The demand for money, since out last, has in creased, and during the mouth the Bank has raised the rate for discount from 31- to 4.3 per cent. We now quote first class paper of short date at 41 per cent., other bills 4i to 5/. and money on call 3 to 31 per cent." It will be a positive relief to every man of busi ness if the Bank of England to-morrow puts up the rate of discount to 5 per cent., the prevalent uncertainty being far worse than the measure it self. We feel persuaded, indeed, that there will be greater confidence when the interestrules at 5 per cent. than there is now, because the Bank of France is stated to be using every exertion to replenish its cof fers, and, if it bids more for gold than ourselves, may succeed in se doing, by means of its credit and by working on the exchanges, although ultimately there will be an account of loss to settle, and to meet the engagements entered into, the precious metal may have to be returned. In the interim, however, as was the case some years ago when the Bank of France assisted the Bank of England, the money market may have resumed a more even tone, and the re-adjustment be proportionally less diffi cult. At Paris already the fall in securities has been more than equal to the whole cost of the foreign grain required between this time and September next ; but no one can question that certain secu rities have ruled a great deal too high there, and that the check will prove wholesome. Yesterday is described as having been at Paris the dullest day yet experienced. The whole subject of our mone tary position and policy is of such absorbing inte rest that we append some remarks in the last num ber of the Bankers' Circular : WOUNDED. 10 Generals. 20 Superior Officers. 224 Subalterns. 4,259 Rank and File. MISSING. 2 Superior Officers. 8 Subalterns. 1,400 Rank and File. Total, 7,557. THE WAR IN ASIA. ERZEROUM, Aug. 18.—On the 18th inst. a de tachment of Turkish cavalry left the city in quest of forage. The Russians placed in the advanced posts tell on them in the rear, and, after a few vol leys of musketry, the Turks retreated without ac complishing their intention. General Mouravieff maintains his position in Co mozow, and has divided his army into four corps, occupying the four points opposite to the four salients of Kars. Four battery cannons which were directed from Alexandiopol to Kars, and abandoned on the road on account of the mud, have been recovered and taken to the Russian camp. The present disposition of the forces of General Mouravieff leads us to suppose that he intends to attack Kars in such a manner as to draw off the at tention of the garrison from the point in dispute, and make a grand attack on it afterwards. In Kars, although some anxiety is manifested, yet a disposition is tolerably prevalent to meet the enemy boldly. The evacuation and surrender of Kars would be, perhaps, not of much consequence, but the loss of the artillery, consisting of 200 pieces of all calibres, and that of the ammunition, would be a great fatality. "The amount of wealth which is now represented in this country by securities alone almost surpasses the poverg of belief. First of all there is nearly 800,000,0001. of public debt, under different forms. To this we may add about 300,000,000/. in the shape of railway secu rities. The Joint-Stock Banking capitals of the metro polis amount to several millions. Then there are the Insurance, Docks, Canals, Water, and Gas Companies, which may be reckoned in millions sterling. History affords no such an amount of wealth represented in floating securities, and saleable in the public markets, as this country exhibits; yet it i 4 over this vast expanse of wealth and industry that the judgment of the cabinet of the Bank of England extends its power and in fluence, Where, then, can the individual be found who could overrate the importance of such a question ? The difference between the course adopted by the Bank of France and the Bank of England, consequeut upon a drain of the precious metals, is singularly striking. Whilst the Bank of France seeks to supply a sufficient note circulation on the withdrawal of specie, it is no less carefrl in its rates of discount ; the Bank of England is continually changing both these items, in order to conform to the principles of an absurd law, We have only to look back a few months to -see how these separate plans have operated upon the money markets of the two countries. In January, 1854, the position of the money market consequent upon the state of the corn market rendered it necessary to raise the rates of interest in several of the Continental cites, and on the 19th of that month the Bank of France raised its rate of discount from 4 to 5 per cent., but it was re duced again to the previous rate on the 11th May following, at which it has remained , tntil the present time. But, singularly enough, on the same date that the Bank of France reduced its rate of discount to 4 per cent., the Bank of England raised it to 51, and main tained it at that rate until the following August, when it was reduced to 5 per cent., at which rate it stood for 35 weeks ; so that, if we go bask to January, 1 8 54, we find that Vie Bank of France has had only two rates of interest during a year and three-quarters, while there have been eight changes made by the Bank of England. No arguments, however ingenious, can set a a.ide the deductions that may be drawn from this com p;; rison ; and it forms one of the strongest motives for a striet enquiry as to which of the two systems is moat deseyving of public support. We think it can scarcely be doubted that such rapid changes made in the rates of discou u t and interest on loans, constituted a very formid able evil in our system. But we think it is equally true to attribute these changes:Almost entirely to an artificial scar city of leg al tender or bank-note circulation, than to any natural causes in the variations on money capital. It is a law we U understood by political economists that whet - ever a sea rcity of capital is found in those establishments where it venerally accumulates, that an expansion of I credit bete ales indispensible ; but thepractice of theßank of England : ttsuch periods is totally opposed to this princ . - ple, which al -ices from the fact that there are circumstances under which it has not the power to do justice to the public, and at the same time secure the interests of its own propriet ors. These circumstances have occurred many times in the history of the Bank, and a repetition of them has once more become apparent. Some of our contemporaries who have been anxious to show that it was the pars.moant duty of the Bank to raise the rate of discount to 5 per cent. on Thursday, do not appear to have looked beyond the ordinary character of the money market, and yet they have not been insensible to the in• jury that such a step would inflict upon the general interests of trade and commerce. But it remaits to be shown whether, to support the particular interests of one establis.htnent, it is absolutely necessary to sacrifice those of all other classes of the community." The Cinaries Lead Mining Company this day declared a dividend of 10s. per share for the half year. The , returns of lead for the six months was 32,797 t.. 63. 3d., which after the expenditure left a profit of 6,5551. 3s. 10d. The Stock Market has been very depressed again this mom i.ug, money being in request, and scarcer among the dealers than in Lombard-street. Whe ther this will last is more than we can determine, but the pressure is aggravated apparently by the speculation of weak parties now obliged to close accounts. Consols have been 1 per cent. lower, viz., 89 to 891 for Transfer, and 891 to 891 for October. Exchequer Bills are par to 4s. discount. A further material drop has occurred in Turkish Bonds, which have been so low as 851 and 86, though they are now 861. The Scrip is 1-a . i dis count. Nothing calculated to depress them has arisen beyond the information regarding Egypt, to which we referred a few days since, and the exces sive bull operations now forcibly closed.

THE BALTIC FLEET. ---- REVEL ROADS, Sept. 18.—The Nile, Captain Mundy, and the Bulldog, Captain Gordon, have succeeded in burning 16 or 17 schooners and coasters in a creek in Biorko Sound. Th 3 rifle men came down to protect the vessels, but after exchanging a few shots with our boats left the vessels to their fate. The Gorgon, Captain Crawford, has also bc3n active in capturing the vessels of the enemy, hav ing burnt and sunk 21 in one day off the island of Oesel. Most of these were attempting to run car goes of salt from the coast of Sweden. Great indignation is felt in the fleet by all classes at the slight Government evinced towards the officers and men engaged in the late bombardment of Sweaborg, and that not one single promotion or acknowledgment has been made, though a severe and heavy blow was inflicted on the enemy, and property valued at 2,000,0001. destroyed ; whilst in the Black Sea a dozen officers are advanced for the destruction of a few fishing -nets and haystacks. The French squadron is gradually decreasing. We have only the Tourville, the d'Assas, and a few gun-boats left of Admiral Penaud's squadron. The Cornwallis left last night, taking home all the hospital dressers whose engagement with the Government expires at the end of this month. The Russell, Hastings, Hawke, and Pembroke follow immediately, and it is supposed that they are to proceed to Naples. NEWMARKET RACES. (THIS DAY.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH) ST. LEGER STAKES.

CITY COMMISSION OP SEWERS. Yesterday, a court, which was very fully attended, was held for the despatch of public business. Mr. Deputy Peacock occupied the chair. THE STATE OF THE THAMES. Mr. Daw, the chief clerk, laid before the court a reference from the Court of Common Council of Thurs day last, upon the subject of some communications made to the Lord Mayor upon the polluted state of the river. The CHAIRMAN.—The Court of Common Council has rent this matter here for consideration, by the request of the Lord Mayor. I think that something should be stated to that Court in answer to their communication, to the effect that both this Court and the Metro politan Commissioners of Sewers have done, and attempted to do, all we possib!y could to remedy the evil complained of. Deputy BEDFORD said he felt very much obliged to the Lord Mayor for sending the matter for the conside ration.of ,the Commission, and that the river should be in a polluted state was not the fault either of the! cor poration or of that court. Mr. T. H. HALL said that, whether the Lord Mayor should have answered for himself instead of bringing the matter before the Court, was a question for his lordship. It was almost a national, at any rate it was a metropo litan question in the largest sense of the word- (Hear, hear.) He (Mr. .1.1a ) 1) was content that their Chairman, Deputy Harrison, and Mr. H. L. Taylor, the three Commissioners, who, with their engineer, tact the Metropolitan Board, with M r . F oster and Mr. Bazel gette, should make a report to the Court of what had been done with reference to remedying the evil. It was then referred to the members of the , Commis sion, who were also members of the Metropolitan Com mission, to report to the Court what had already been done with a view to put an end to the nuisance so loudly complained of. SALARY OF THE OFFICER OF HEALTH. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR moved " That the maxicutum salary of the officer of health of this City be 4001. per annum, and that it be referred to the Committee of General Purposes to consider the duties of the officer of health of this City, and to report thereon to this court." Deputy Hove seconded the motion. Deputy Dmurt moved, as an amendment, that the word "maximum" be omitted in the motion. The amendment having been seconded, was carried by a considerable majority. The original motion was negatived. It was then referred to the General Purp.bses Com mittee to consider the qualifications of the candidates for the office, and that no testimonials should b.e received after Monday next, at 2 o'clock. The Court adjourned. LLOYD'S SHIPPING--(THIS 1 LONDON, Sept. 25.—Wind this day at moon, S.E. light, with fine weather. (PER ELECTRIC TELEGRAP7I.) S OUTHAMPTON, Wednesday Morning.
