At Kinbourn, nothing has occurred during ray absence with Admiral Stewart in the bay. The Union Jack and Tricolor continue to float together ou the ramparts of the captured fort, which is held and sentinelled exclusively by our allies. Since the despatch of my letter on the 19th I have collected a batch of Gallic anecdotes connected with the taking of the place which are both amusing and in• structive, but I have not now lime to put them into readable shape before the departure of the mail. I may add, however, that the French troops are to occupy the place during the winter, our quota of the garrison being limited to a small party of sappers under an engineer officer. The French are already busy in repairing the in juries done to the ramparts by the bombardment, and in a few days will have made it much stronger than before its fall.

SIR WILLIAM CODRINGTON VERSUS SIR COLIN CAMPBELL. ern • The following letter has been addressed .b to the for editor r4any of the Morning "Jerald :—Sir,—Having years a constant reader of the Morning "Jerald,. and . 0 0 b- .. served bow justly it always censures the appointment t incompetent persons to important posts, I wo uld beg to offer tbr ou kh your columns a few words on the choice, said to hav e b een made of a new commander for our army in the E as t. The person chosen having passed more than 30 years of his military life without any ser vice beyond mounting guard at St. James's Palace, and attending an occasional review in Hyde -park, went out to Turkey about a year since. Having had the interest of the late Lord Raglan he was appointed to the command of a brigade, subsequently to that of a divi sion, and now he is said to have been chosen to com mand the entire army, after just one year's foreign ser vice. This perso n is &r William Codrington. The persan rejected has acquired experience in active warfare in almost every part of the globe, from the time that he gained his company by leading a forlorn hope till he commanded a division in our last great battles in jo;lia. Ho went with our army, and has never left it since its arrival in Turkey ; h en , o _ s. J y good health, h as a sound constitution , active,epos,, Jsessing great firmness of character, and is proverbially c alm and co l lected in the midst of the greatest danger. This parson is Sir Colin Campbell. The brilliant deeds a Sir Colin and his Highlanders in the Crimea must be fresh in the me mory of most people. At the Alma, when he made that the enemy's position, which elicited beautiful advance on atßalaklava, when he re the admiration of the army ; his line of infantry pulsed the .Russian cavalry with ade up to the enemy's the perilous march which be made up for which h e re position during a terrific sn ceived the special commendat o i w on s of o h rm e; Ma alone would he sufficient proof s o f talent and jye determined st ;---t he resolution. They could be vastly multiplied by bis deeds in other lands. Considering that Sir Colin Campbell is a much officer in the army to Sir William Codrington, senior during a long and distinguished service he ha a s n a d lw t a h y a s t met with the approbation of his Sovereign, almost incredible that he should be passed over by a it appears junior officer of only one year's military experience, and that acquired when cooped up before Sebastopol, where the various duties and skill in the movements of an army in the field could not have been learnt but without which knowledge in its chief the honou r and safety of an army must ever be in the greatest peril. 1 I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient servant, I AN OLD SOLDIER. Nov. 6. barrack, and received for their support—the English 20 copecks (about Bd.) a day, and the Turks half that sum In the case of our own officers the allowance was 7 copecke daily. On this sum all were able to live comfortably, every article of food being cheap—bread ld. per lb., meat the same, and other items of dietary in a similar low propor tion. Many of the men, indeed, assure me that 10 copecks a day g enera ll y suff i ced to feed t h em, an d that the remain der enabled them to indulge in a fair allowance of agree able extras besid es . I n a ddition, however, to this ample provision of th e G overn ment, the liberality of private in dividuals procured them many supplementary comforts, and more than one Voronetz " Miss Nightingale" minis tered, with all woman's assiduity and discriminating ten derness, to those of them who in any way needed more than common care. At Rezan, a town about 200 miles north of Voronetz, where some of them had previously been located, several resident English ladies had been especially liberal and attentive in this respect, supply ing them with very many additional comforts in the way of underclothing, tea, and other adoucissements of a winter's captivity in Russia, beyond what the Govern went allowance would have permitted. About a month, however, before their departure from Veronetz for Odessa a party of about 50 English deserters arrived at the former tow, and at once commenced a course of annoyance to their countrymen, which led to the withdrawal from the Itater of the liberty they had previously enjoyed of free movement about the town and neighbourhood. •These de serters were, of course, universally " cat" by the prisoners —nor did they receive any of the kindnesses so liberally bestowed upon the latter by the townspeople ; and to re sent this the scoundrels availed themselves of every oppor tunity to abuse 'and otherwise annoy the captives. There was, however, amongst them one remarkable exception, whose case excited the merited pity of the prisoners, and which deserves mention in print. The poor fellow had been a colour-sergeant in the 79th Regiment, and had been led to commit the rash net of desertion by having lost the regiment's money during a fit of drunkenness at Balaklava, whither he had been sent by his colonel to receive it from the commi sariat. Dreading the consequences of his mis conduct, and fearing that he would be charged with hav ing stolen the lost cash, and punished accordingly, the poor man deserted under cover of the darkness to Sebastopol, whence, after a short stay, he was sent on into the interior. His wife and children aro in Landon, and the unfortunate fellow was pining away in broken-hearteciness for the rash act which he had committed, separating him for ever from them as it did, and consigning him to deeply-felt disgrace and wretchedness. In pity for the unhappy man's contri tion and misery, the prisoners invited him to share in their games and other amusements; but no effort could induce him to mix with any of them, or abate his self-approaches. Shortly before the prisoners left Veronetz, the Russian i authorities offered to the whole of the deserters liberty to return, if they choose, but all—with ono exception, who declared he would rather go and be shot by his country men than remain as he was —declined availing them selves of the permission. The poor sergeant was strongly urged by the prisoners to accompany them, encou raging him to hope that his case would be mercifully con sidered; but the wretched man's sense of the deep dis grace he had brought upon himself would not let him yield to their urgent advice. On the arrival of the whole party in Odessa, they were lodged in barracks in the rear of the town, and treated with kindness and liberality similar to what had already been shown to them in the interior. Amongst the lady philanthropists who here again came to add to their com forts was a resident Irish lady, who was unceasing in her attentions, and from her own private resources and those of charitable friends supplied them with many a creature comfort. She was not, however, permitted to converse with any of them in English, and as Russian was beyond their linguistic abilities, she was therefore compelled to give expression to her kindly sympathies in acts alone. Iri the name of every prisoner amongst them I say, " All honour to her Irish heart !" and I only regret that the men's ignorance of their benefactress's name put. it out of my power to make it known over the length and breadth of Britain. I have only to add that new military great coats, similar to those worn in the Russian army, were served out at Odessa to all the men ; and other assistance having been given to the non-commissioned and petty officers to replace their worn-out uniforms, the whole came on board the Colombo in a state of physical and sartorial " condition" that was in every way creditable to their captors.

We really can see no difference between the two cases except the difference between ti splendid court and plebiin attire. Mr. COBDEN . , who denounces all the pomp and circumstance of his own QUEEN'S Court as " barbaric splendour," cannot of course be carried away by such vulgar differences. But, if not, we are at a loss to con ceive what he can mean by aggression. In the Black Sea, we are simply arouse 4 to recover the spoliations of late years for their lawful owners, and to deprive the thief of the power of repeating his depredations. All England understands this thoroughly, and no sophistry of the peace orators can bewilder its clear judgment here. As to surrendering what has been acquired, we should like Mr. COBDEN to go to an election in Yorkshire, or at his first love, Stockport, or even at Midhurst, with the cry of " Peace with Russia by giving up the Crimea." We do not believe he could find a constituency to return him as the delegate for such a proposition to the House of Commons. He is fond of appealing against mys tification to common sense"; he would certainly find common sense against him in this. No Go vernment whatever, not even if supported by all the influence of all the Coburgs, could offer to the nation a peace based on such a piece of treachery. The country will never be befooled into a peace which must issue ere long in another and more costly war ; and whether Lord PALMERSTON or Lord DERRY be at the head, the Government which ventures on the step would be overthrown by the next vote of the House of Coratnons. We heartily wish the Premier would test the opinion of the country this Christmas. The attention of this country should not be withdrawn from the misused Principalities. We are in danger of giving but too much scope to the taunts of Mr. COBDEN' and his coadjutors if we suffer the very territories, for invading which war was declared with Russia, to endure the triple evils of Russian corruption, Austrian brutality and despotism, and domestic misrule. The pro , Russian, and pro-Austrian Prince STIRBEY, the ante damn& of Austria, is still Hospodar, and he and Austria seem to bo making every effort for his retention in office, although loathed by his snb jects, after his term expires next spring. No wonder ; he is the very tool needed ; and the Porte seemslikely to be bullied by its hated neigh bour into compliance. We can but regret, in this point of view as well as in reference to the gene ral objects of the War, that Austria should appear to have now cajoled France, as she has always done our Court. The evident deference of both , Governments to Austria, their tolerance of all her proceedings in the Principalities, the strengthen ing of Austrian military positions there, and, worse still, the increase of her troops in the pro vinces, while she could not afford to maintain them in Poland where they made Russia uneasy—these are all subjects of anxious observation at Bucha rest, and well they may be. At one and the same moment Austria is intriguing with the Porte for a professedly temporary, but in reality perma neatly 'mischievous, constitution for the provinces, and acting, in a military sense, as if she meant to add them to the other countries which she garri sons with her bullies, and then calls them parts of Austria. It is such conduct, and such conduct only, which will ever make Englishmen tired of the War. If they see that the most odious of despots West of Moscow is to be the only gainer by it ; a gainer without sacrifice or trouble too ; a gainer through, as it will certainly be thought, a corrupt influence on our Court,--,--thets, indeed, unless we have a revolution, we may throw up the War through sheer disgust with treachery in high places. We were, we confess, perplexed not long ago by the intelligence that the Government in the provinces had prohibited the export of grain. We could not reconcile it with the known fact of two abundant harvests there, and with the country being in the military possession of our professed ally. The truth has now turned up, and i; as indeed might have been suspected, only another illustration of the meanness and p er fidy o f A ustr i a. appropriate th ose h arvests deprive th e Alli es o f t h em. to Her h o r b o j object c . has us e b a e n e d n t t o o The scheme was an ingenious one. She under took to secure the free navigation of the Danube, and the Allies, instead of clearing their own way with their gun-boats, confidingly left the matter to their faithful friend. She pu r p ose l y f a il e d i n 'having no one el s e t o fulfilling her engagement for a very l ong t i me. si M ieyl e l.v a t n eor7rn h ai i nn l el: parted ea h er e i t inhabitantsseeing d g with it thiet their corn rotti ng or d estroyed at any price to Austria, who has been driving an active trade in it, on her own terms, by boats up the Danube. Now, however, that she has carried off the greater part of the surplus corn, and sees that the Allies will soon free the navigation of the Danube without her help, she incites her tool STIRBEY to prohibit its exportation ! Even the Times has long ago strongly urged the duty and the political importance of giving the Principalities self-government again, and requesting Austria to keep her troops at home. The Times now is silent. Austrian mi s d ee d s fi n d courtier should no recorder there—the Duke of BRA BANT an d p his Lm Austrian is b riadsegauri quiet f a e s t ead good at rti Paris, ce and Lord be, let the German EMPEROR do what he will. Whether he cram the provinces with troops, or prohibit our getting their cern, or plot for a des potic constitution—the fine purpose of all being obvious, no remonstrance is heard from " the Minister, not of Austria, nor of Russia, but of England." CAPTAIN PEN, AGAIN I Another portrait of the Times' Correspondent Lithographed (as the other was) in the establish ment of M. and N. Hanhart—by the Skilled pencil of T. H. Maguire : the drawing being taken from an original picture now in Mrs. Russell's possession. The Messrs. Graves, of Pall-Mall, are the pub lishers of this same likeness, which, it will be re. marked, appeari almost simultaneously with the life-like transcript upon stone from Mr. Fenton's inimitable photograph. There is every prospect that, thanks to these two ingenious engravings, the manly features of Mr. Russell will become as familiarised to the multitude at large as his mas. culine eloquence Eas long been, first, piecemeal, through the column s of the great organ of Printing_ house Square, arid ' then, collectively, through Messrs. Routledge and Company's separate repub lication. The portraiture published by the Messrs. Graves is of the sic stabat, as that issued from the press by the Messrs. Agnew was of the sic sede,bat character. Each will be to the numerous friends, and the still more numerous admirers of William Howard Russel% eminently acceptable. The ad mirable sketch,, taken from Mr. Fenton's photo graph, of "Our Special Correspondent," repre senting that eaninent publicist as the observer-- the present one, copied from the portrait belonging to Mrs. Russell, displaying him rather, we should say, as the obsir'ved. The latter, indeed, is somewhat formal and, in a manner, too for midable of its kind—the Times' correspondent appearing before us in this instance in a much sterner mood than that. betrayed recently upon the comely face of Captain Pen, seated on his camp stool, in the satiny glimpse of him caught in one magical moment through the lens of Mr. Fenton's photographic apparatus. However, coming before the public in any mood, Severe or well-natured, Mr. Russell's effigy can hardly fail to prove an ob ject of interest to the generality, as that of the brilliant and energetic historian of the war in his responsible capacity as the special correspondent of the Times newspaper. Welcome then to him in any guise—booted and spurred or in his frogged sad tout —capped d la militaire, or leaning his hand (as lie does here) upon a pile of books d la literaire. As the soldier present's arms to the decorated, so to the gallant Captain Pen do, we here accord the merited honours of the goosequi IIiATEST NE WS. OPERATIONS ON THE DNIEPER. The Invalide Busse publishes a continuation of the telegraphic despatches sent from Nicolaieff to St Petersburg, by order of the Emperor : " NICOLAIEFF, OCT. 20, 10.45 P. M. " During the last 24 hours there has been no change in the position of the enemy, though the lumber of their steamers, gun-boats, and floating batteries, in the road of Oczakoff, has slightly in creased. The movements observed yesterday be. tween the three points of their anchorage have continued to-day. " The enemy has burned the hamlets on the Spit of Kinbourn, which, however, were already deserted, the inhabitants having abandoned them, taking with them all their cattle and carrying off all their property. The enemy have made no movement nor attempted any other operation on land. "Lieutenant-General Zadousky yesterday made a reconnaissance beyond the village of Vassiliovka, and advanced as far as the enemy's outposts." " Om 27, 9:30 P.M. "In the night from the 26th to the nth the vessels of the enemy which were in the embou chure of the Dnieper quitted it, and joined the squadron moored in the Bay of Oczakoff. " Excepting this movement, there has been no ohange in the enemy's position, nor have they attempted any operation. "The patrols sent from the advance-guard of General Zadousky to a distance of 20 versts be- yond the village of Bouzovaia, on the Spit o: Kinbourn, did not meet the enemy anywhere. "From Oczakoff it is observed that the disem barked troops are fortifying their position at Kin bourn. " All goes well at Nieolaieff:". "Oar: 28, 9.45 P.M. " Yesterday, during the evening, the enemy embarked near Kinbourn their field artillery and horses on board some of their transport ships ; this morning, at daybreak, these ships wore still in the road. They appeared to be preparing to put to sea, but a dense fog, which lasted from 8 o'clock this morning till the evening, prevented any observations during the day. Before this fog came on, it was remarked that the number of steamers, gun-boats, (tc., at anchor in the em bouchure of the Boug had considerably decreased. Only five steamers and four gun-boats remained at the mouth of the river. The fleet now numbers in all 64 vessels." The Invalide also publishes the following tele graphic despatch from Prince Gortschakoff " OCTOBER. 28, 8 P.M. " Yesterday the enemy again made a strong demonstration from the side of Eupatoria. With 30 squadrons of cavalry and six battalions of infan try they advanced from Saki upon Tchebotar, but there they were stopped by our advanced guard, with which they exchanged some cannon shots. They then fell back on Saki, where they remained during the night. " This morning the enemy renewed their attempt, a part of their force advancing upon Temesch ; but when our division of Lancers, supported by a reserve of Dragoons, began to threaten their left flank, they at nowt again retired upon Saki. " For the rest, all goes well on every point." MARSEILLES, 6 TH. The Euphrate has arrived with accounts from Constantinople to the 29th. The Constantinople papers announce that the Imperial Guard will embark on the sth Nov. to return to France, and that on the 10th Admiral Bruat is expected at Constantinople on his return to France. Admiral Pellion is to keep up the blockade of Kherson and the Dnieper. Admirals Pellion and Stewart have gone up the Boug, and have ascer tained that the river is navigable for heavy vessels. Selim Pacha is to establish himself at Erzeroum with the Turkish Imperial Guard, whence he will threaten the rear of the army of General Moura vieff, and be thus able to revictual and relieve Kars. Emir Pacha, Governor of Circassia, has brought to Omar Pacha several Circassian chiefs, who have offered hina their co-operation. Omar Pacha marched, on the 20th, on Jutai, at the head of 22 battalions. The Press d'Orient estimates the loss of the Russians in the affair of Kars at 15,000 men, of whom 5,600 were killed, and that of the Turks at 1,300 killed and wounded. General Bazaine, after having destroyed all the villages on the peninsula of Kinbourn, was prepar ing to return to Ka miesh. General Levalllant has been named Governor of Sebastopol. Accounts from Persia state that a Persian Am- bassador had lett for St. Petersburg. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 6. Admiral Berch, Governor of Nicolaioff and Ad miral-in-Chief of the Black Sea Fleet and Ports, is dismissed. Tice-Admiral Mettin is appointed in his stead, with the additional command of the flotilla in the Danube. WARSAW, Nov. 5. A new conscription is ordered for Poland, in dlependently of that for the whole empire ap- p.); , nted in the recent manifesto. The conscription will commence in December. BERLIN, Nov. 5. The Prussian Government continues exceed ilk ;is anxious to discredit tho rumour of its being em ployed to offer propositions of peace from Ri issia. A high personage is reported to have said of th ' ,43 Emperor of Russia—" He might as well sign his 'abdication as talk of peace." 7 . 1 1 a Russian populace are fanatic and desperate for t b : continuance of the war. Bai nn Rothschild has passed through here on his way to Vienna. STOCKHOLM, Nov. 5. Gen( ral Canrobert has arrived. e: w as received with the utmost enthusiasm by th e e qtire population. T l a t U up , orate, whose arrival at Munilles w announced yesterday, brought the following in- telligence : General Lavaillant, Governor of Sebastopol, announces the Guards will embark on the sth, the anniversary of Inkerman, for France. Admiral Bruat was expected hourly on his return. Rear-Admirals Pellion and Stewart maintained the blockade of the Dnieper. Selim Pacha, with his Turkish irregulars, is established at Erz3roum, and is thence threatening the force investing Kars. It is thought this movement may force Mouravieff to raise the block ade—for it is hardly a siege. Omar Pacha will operate with the Circassians in the rear of Mouravieff's army. Emir, the Governor of Circassia, accompanied by several mountain chieftains, has visited Omar Pacha, promising the Sirdar the support of the Tcherkesses. MARSEILLES, MONDAY. M. Lesseps has arrived here. The commission, charged to examine the plan for piercing the Isthmus of Suez, will leave for Egypt on Thursday. THE CRIMEA, (Front a Special Correopondent of the Morning Herald.) BALAKLAVA, Oct. 22.—1 write these lines from Balaklava, where, to-day, Monday, October 22, 1,000 more Sardinians arrived in the Himalaya steamer. It is expected 3,000 more will speedily follow. Those already here are in fine spirits, and are now singing Italian songs ; the harbour re sounds with their patriotic choruses. Three days ago the Sardinian general despatched home all his men who were suffering from low fever, or who seemed unable to stand the rapidly-approaching winter. They sailed direct to Genoa, and hope to return in the spring. The Sardinian force still remaining are very anxious to measure arms with the Muscovites, and express themselves as perfectly weary of their present inactive life. The new wharves within the harbour of Balaklava are nearly finished, and will much expedite the discharge of cargoes, and save for the future the3enormous amount of money hitherto wantonly wasted before such arrangements were attempted. Enormous stocks of firewood and of certain winter stores are this week discoverable on every available inch of ground. Six steamers are immediately expected with railway materials alone, including several locomotives. The branch railroad between Kadi-Keny and Kamara, chiefly for the use of the Highland division and the Sardinians, is very ra pidly progressing ; and the winter huts for the Highlanders, beyond Kamara, are nearly com pleted. Your "special correspondent," who now for the first time has the pleasure to address you in perfect health, is " fixed ' for the winter in this interesting locality. The harbour of Balaklava is unprecedentedly full, but vessels, I am glad to say, can now be dis charged here much m ore qu i c kl y than was the case not long ago. Forty vessels aro still in the roads. I pity them if the expected breeze blow home. The glass is falling. Miss Nightingale is still in Balaklava, where the' Sisters of Mercy are now fully officiating as nurses. I must recur to this specially in my next or follow ing despatch. Among our local improvements at Balaklava we have started an iron foundry opposite the police station and post office, called the "Poplar Foun dry," simply so termed because it has been con structed at the foot of a poplar-tree. Here castings will be made for anything required in the Crimea. The floating factory " Chasseur" is connected with this new and useful establishment. Another im provement is that the Turkish burial-ground at the head of the harbour is now being overlaid with earth. Formerly much malaria arose from this cemetery. The next point to be set to rights should be that of the slaughter-grounds in camp, the stench from which is not only overpowering but very injurious. It is as bad as that at Kamiesch and Kazatch Bays. I am sorry to announce that the cholera has broken out again, though not violently. Several deaths have occurr.,d on the very same ground where the 79th suffered so fearfully this spring ; and which they prudently left to go into tents. I am sorry to notice that there is a good deal of flogging here at Balaklava Police-office, chiefly among the men of the Land Transport Corps. Were I to address officers I should simply say : " The deil's &mane, ye taking note s , And, faith, he'll b print 'em." FRANCE. PARIS, TIESDAY. Last night a rumour was very generally diffused to the effect that the Emperor had again been shot at. The Little Bourse fell in consequence. The following very extraordinary story is circulated by persons connected with Government :—The Empe ror's coachman, it is said, always has a pair of loaded pistols in holsters attached to his coach-box. Last evening, at about 6 o'clock, as his Majesty, on re turning from his hunting excursion to Fontaine bleau, was proceeding in his carriage along the Rue St. Antoine, one of the coachman's pistols accidentally fell out of the holster, went off, and wounded a person in the street. Several news paper offices were kept open last night to an un usually late hour, in the expectation that sonic authentic communiqué would be made, stating what had happened. The Moniteur contains no explanation. Orders were sent last night to the Telegraph-office not to transmit any despatch on the subject. "If our information be correct," says the Patric, " the departure for France of the squadron com manded by Admiral Bruat is fixed for the I2th inst. Two line-of-battle ships only will remain at the Crimea, under the orders of Rear-Admiral Odet-Pellion. The Napoleon, which now carries the rear-admiral's flag, will be one of the vessels remaining. On its return to Toulon, the Mediter ranean squadron will be reconstituted. It will be composed of nine sail of the line, all screws, and a proportionate number of lighter vessels, the whole, as already announced, being placed under the command of Vice-Admiral Trehouart." The Moniteur corrects an error in its impression of Monday. It says, "It was through Hanover, and not through Hanau, that General Canrobert passed en route for Stockholm, and was received with the most lively proofs of the enthusiasm of the people." Englishmen will be glad to hear this. The Moniteur publishes a decree confirming the grants made of the military medal by the Com mander-in-Chief of the Army of the East, and an other conferring the same distinction on a number of additional "braves."

In all matters in which the co-operation of the Imperial Government or the consent of the Emperor is necessary, the Credit Institution has to apply to dm Ministry (1 Finance." T - I3e it 67i, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1855 , We are by no means advocates for the appoint ment of aged Generals—men who, having already fairly earned the otium cum dignitate, have lost the strength and activity for which they were once remarkable, and are better suited. for the attentions of a careful nurse than for conducting affairs of vital importance, requiring the utmost vigour of mind and body. We hare seen many brilliant examples of comparatively youthful com manders ; but it still must be admitted that there is nothing to disqualify a veteran who in a green old age still maintains all his energies in un diminished force, and whose great experience in every land is unalloyed by any intellectual or physical infirmity. We readily concede that past services should not be the only test adopted in the selection of a Commander-in-Chief. Many qualities must combine in the choice of the favoured individual. Unflinching courage in the hour of trial must be largely tempered with dis cretion. He must have the moral courage to sustain unmerited vituperation, when the notions of the amateurs and " own correspondents" hanging about the camp do not agree with the arrangements which he has deemed it expedient to make, and which in his soul and con science he believes to be most advantageous to the national interests. He must also have the mind to conceive and the baud to execute judicious operations in the field or camp—looking carefully also to the health and comfort of his soldien, in many respects supposed to be beneath the notice of a Commander-in-Chief. When, however, all those qualities are united in one individual ; when on every trial he has passed nobly through the ordeal, and when he is still apparently in pos session of all his mental and bodily powers, wt feel that due weight should be accorded to pre vious exploits, and that it is a grievous injustice to such a person, and to the community at large, to promote a junior over his head, simply because he had basked in the sunshine of Court favour, living at home at ease, while his senior was sustaining the honour of the national standard in every clime, and through the most formidable trials. It is not necessary or capabili t i es to underval ue th e exer ti ons of Si r W. 0 0DRINOTO.N, to feel stir , / prised and grieved at the sliaht to Sir Cour t y certainlyhallenge comparison protege CAMPBELL, wh o ma with the more f avoured -e of the H orse Guards in any military quality. While th e new mounting Commander-in-Chief was guard a t t h e Palace, and only smelling po w d er i c in Hyde -park, Sir COLIN CAMPBELL was zealously following up the reputation he had acquired as a subaltern, in various British dependencies, until h e might justly ask, " What region is not full of my l a b ours, and has not been distinguished by my exploits I" In the Crimea itself he has been engaged from th e very first moment, and never failed in any under- taking, however arduous or perilono. At the Alma his deeds, at the head of the gallant High land Brigade, elicited enthusiastic commendations from every side. Friend and foe combined to exalt the u n fli nc hi ng va l our o f the " bonnie Highland laddi es " an d th e i r d as hi ng C ommander, on the fatal 25th October, when the " thin red line" - withstood the most desperate onslaughts of tb e R ussian cavalry without flinching or wave ring for a s i ngle moment. To that extra ordln ary f i rmness, and the absolute impossibility of nraking any impressio n on that devoted band, may, in a great degree, be attributed the safety of the allied army, and the subsequent felicitous to rmination of the siege ; and if there were occa sio, as when the Highlanders' division were not pro rainently called into action, it was simply be caus k 3 they had been selected for a duty requiring the itmost steadiness and resolution, and that • the , security of all might justly be confided to the sir 'hands. lil ;ail:lst Sir WILLIAM CODRINGTON, 1411 Re have stated, it is not our wish to utter a single dero gatory expression, for we do not consider it t(. be so to assert positively that his claims not only do not exceed, but are by no means equal to those of Sir COLIN CAMPBELL. He obtained his commission in the Guards, and served with his regiment at home until the last year. He has had one year of active service to count against perhaps forty times the period by the neglected General. His name, too, is one ominous to those on whose behalf we have been compelled to draw the sword ; for it cannot be forgotten that it was owing to the brilliant but most impolitic and ill advised destruction of the Turkish fleet at Nava, rino that Russia was enabled to develops her real intentions, and to proceed to such lengths as to compel the Allies eventually to proclaim war. It was not, however, to the exploits of Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON, but to his official station about the Court, that the favour which has led to the pre sent promotion is owing —that occasioned " the pulling of the wires" that aoted on the nominal head of the Horse Guards. In a matter of such importance as the nomination of a Commander- in- Chief, we think, and we believe, the community at large participate in the opinion, that such in fluences should not be exercised, that " patron age," so loudly complained of, should, if at all exercised, be restricted to minor appointments but that the chief place should be given to the most worthy candidate. Sir Comic CAMPBELL has just cause of complaint, but the public are even more deeply interested in putting an end to the objectionable system that has produced Buell fruits at such a time. Mr. COBDEN seems destined, like all special pleaders, to see his arguments recoil successively upon himself. He and others of his party, the disappointed speculator in Austrian Railways especially, have endeavoured to persuade us that we are ignorant of Continental views on the War, while they, by their superior acquaintance with " respectable merchants and traders on the Con tinent," can enlighten our darkness. They would persuade us that the people of the German States share the views of their governors, and are in different to the diminution of Russian power. ]fettered as the press is throughout all Germany, we can obtain only cooked and doctored informa tion from its newspapers. But facts, which reveal the widely-concealed truth, every new and then come to light. We would not estimate them at more than their worth, but they are worth a great deal when we remember the universal sys tem of repression which prevails—:-.the alertness of the police—and the extent to which innumerable individuals and families are implicated in the course taken by their Governments, as depen dents more or less directly on the pay of the State. A very large proportion of the families of Germany would endanger the salary of some re lative in office, it may be the office of a spy, should they venture openly to show their detes tation of Russia, their disapproval of the policy of their own rulers, or their sympathy with the cause of the Allies. An incident of the kind we allude to is the popularity of General CANROBERT with the Ger mans. • The French, especially since the great struggle for Yaterland, have not been, nationally, favourites with the Germans; yet they embrace the occasion of the General's mission to Sweden to testify by their enthusiastic huzzas the sentiments which they have no other means of expressing. We beg Mr. COBDEN to allow himself to see but one—one not solitary fact—in contrariety with his own selected or garbled facts ; it might enable him to suspect that even those he had selected are capable of a very different inter pretation. How does he account for the well authenticated statement, " that in every part of Germany through which General CANROBERT passed, and particularly at Hanau and at Ham burg, the populations of the towns gave him a bona fide ovation. At Lubeck the most enthusiastic cheers hailed his arrival and accompanied him to the place of embarkation." Now, General CAN , ROBERT has not been one of those unique and suc cessful heroes whom all populations will turn out to cheer and admire. He acted a noble part, it is true ; but it was the nobleness of renouncing personal ambition, and willingly taking subordi nate command in favour of one whom he judged better able to serve that cause, to which the Germans, Mr. COBDEN being witness, are so pro foundly indifferent. Had it been Bosom', the hero of the Malakhoff, the enthusiasm might have been attributed to the last splendid achievement if civilised courage and skill. In the case of General CANROBERT there could be but two grounds for the applauses of the German citizens —that they had before them one of the leaders in a great warfare, which was felt by them deeply to concern their own liberties, or that the man before them had made the noblest sacrifice in the service of that War which a military man could possibly make. There is, indeed, another alternative, and we willingly give Mr. COBDEN the benefit of it. General CANROBEBT was on a mission to Sweden. All lovers of national freedom hope that its object is not merely to secure a winter port for *our vessels ; indeed, all the ports of Sweden and Norway, but one or two, are already open to English, French, or Russian ships indifferently ; —the belief is that he and our DuNnes have a secret mission of a far more popular character ; that the object is to enlist the freemen of the North in this War of freedom. The Swedish people are well known to long for emancipation from the fear of Russia ; Norway already trembles for Yaranger Bay ; and even lest some day the Russian flag should wave over her western ports, and her hardy and independent seamen became slaves of despotism. Did the Germans hope that the General had it in charge to urge the Court of Stockholm to give effect to the zeal of its sub jects, and allow them to fight the battle of free dom now, rather than to live in constant dread of Russian fleets and despotism, and of final ab sorption by barbarism ? Next to Poland, Sweden is th e most valuable ally we could have, and we are quite w illi ng Mr. Cobnzif should regard the enthusiasm of the good Germans for General coafußutu d i o a u a b o t d that th e it hopeful CAN ROBERT as indi ca ti ve of their hopes for the cause of f ree d om iu the North. For ourselves we no was efo l the envoy tot devoted s antagonist wed e n who caused all the excitement amongs t the misrepre sented Germans, We may just advert before concluding to an other dictum of Mr. COBDEN'S—that we are now waging an aggressive War, and that the evacua tion of all Russian territory by the Allies is the first requisitetopeace ! The fir s t h alf of the sen tence wor ds—atr a ic b k ili w ty: d isa mere wish sh Mr. COBDEN, with hi s confessed w etoe o nu u el l e d not descend to ; the seco n d i s a practical assertion that peace will never be made. Per haps Mr. COBDEN will describe it as an ag gression .when a housekeeper, enlisting a policeman or two as his Allies, pursues the burglar after he has frightened him from his house and grounds into his haunt, Wrests from him the instruments of future bur- glaries, and makes every effort to place him in the THE BRAZILS.

By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 426.1 per mark, which, at the Eng lish Mint price of 3/. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 . 5 q ; and, the exchange at Hamburg o n Londo n at short being 13.51, it follows that gold is 0.06 per cent, dearer in London than in Ham. burg. The cou rse o f exchange at New York on London for bills at CO days' sight is 109 f per cent. ; and, the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23.40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.33 per cent. against England ; and, after making allowance for charges of transport and difference of interest, the present rate leaves no profit on the transmission of gold either way between the cwo countries.
