THEATRE ROYAL, DRITRY-LANE. - Lessee, Mr. E. T. SMITH. —Acting Manager, \ r. Charles Mathews, —Stage Manager, Mr. Robert Roxby.-1 he public is re spectfully informed that this ESTABLISHMENT wi 1 OPEN for the regular DRAMATIC REASON, under the Management of Mr. E. T. Smith, on Monday, October 1, on which occasion Mr. Elliot Galer, Lucy Escott, Miss Lanza, and the Company will sing the National Anthem, and when the grand original and historical Egyptian Drama, written by E. Fitzball, Esq , and which has for upwards of id months engaged the attention of the scenic., mechani cal, and decorative departments o - this theatre, will positively lie produced, with the utmost regard to splendour and accuracy of de tail. In accordance with this resolution to secure the services, when ever available, of the most talented artistes of the day, the Lessee has the greatest. p'easnre in announcing that he has engaged that inimitable comedian, Mr. Charles Mathews, who will appear in a series of new pieces, written expressly for him ; and to strengthen the cast of which an engagement has also been made with the prin cipal members of the Lyceum Company. '1 hat distinguished tragic actress, Miss Glyn, and that pop u l a r tragedian, Mr. Barry Sullivan, Will be likewise found included in the arrangements of the forth coming season, while the scenic department will be under the immediate superintendence of Mr. William Beverley. The Lessee, in thus inviting attention to the long-promised Egyptian Drama, which will be produced on Monday, October 1, feels it necessary to state that, so connected as everything relative to Egypt is with Mystery and ingenuity, he felt it incumbent upon him to spare neither trouble nor expenditure in or er to present a strictly accu rate picture of the regal and domestic history, habits, manners, and customs of that extraordinary nation, at the Pharaonic period, and to reproduce, as far as possib e in scenic accessories, those colossal masses of granite and porphyry, and those gigantic statues, whose enormous d mensions, overwhelmed by the shocks of nature or the fury of the elements, have b' en scattered in ages past over regions at present inaccessible, or barled deep beneath those arid and urn ng sands.which have been at once their tomb and their protection. That nothina may be found wanting to give a completeness to its production, the piece will be sustained by the highest dramatic talent, and illustrated by artistic and mechanical effects or entirely novel construction. Herodotus, Denon, Wilkinson, the libraries of the British and Imperial Museums at London and Paris, together with otin r authorities, have been carefully consulted to insure the most rigid correctness in all the details and appointments; and in thus reviving the associations of a people that existed upwards of 4,010 years ag3 the Lessee hopes to make the stage present a com bination of amusement and instruction hitherto unknown. Rather, however, than speak himself of what has been done, he leaves the laurels to be distributed by the p :blic to those artistes who will be found to have distinguished themselves, and confidently in vites the critic and the antiquary to judge of its merits and attest the fidelity of the most minute details. The ancient an t modern authorities consulted by. and the whole of the Egyptian accessories made and modelled under the entire superintendenca of Dykwynkin. The scenery, entirely new, painted by Messrs. Nichols, Cuthbert, Richard Cooper, G. Gordon, Agile, and assistants. The gas fittings by James Palmer and as sistants. Th (striking and novel costumes by Mr. Palmer, Mies Bradle„aud assistants. The trophies, idols, properties, &c., are all new. Yinverty-Master, Mr. Needham, and assistants.

THE RUMOURED DEFEAT OF THE RUSSIANS NEAR EUPATORIA. The telegraphic despatch published this morn• in; by some of our contemporaries, that the Rus sians had been defeated by the Allies near Eupa- toria, reached us in due course last evening ; bu doubting the truth of the report of swill an extra ordinary event occurring so soon after the evacuation of Sebastopol by the Russians, and the source from which it appeared to have emanated, we ab stained from publishing it. We can positively state that her Majesty's Government, at half-past two o'clock this after noon, had not received any information from the Crimea relative to such an occurrence. With the facilities afforded by the telegraph, it is utterly impossible such an event could have occurred without the Government being in pos session of the fact. We have the highest authority for stating that, " had such an . eroent taken place, ani the Govern ment not been in possession of the fact, it would be one of the most extraordinary circumstances that had ever occurred." It was some time since jocularly remarked, at a dinner at the Crystal Palace, that the Govern ment ought to have contracted with M essrs. F ox and RENDtRSON for the taking of Sebastopol. This of,course, intended to show the unlimited ex tent of the industrial power, and the almost raj ••lacil-lolls results . achieved by great engineering skill combined with adequate reQources to carry well-°olasidered plans into practical execution. There Imq also sound truth in the suggestion. the protr.--_,,ed defence was occasioned by the enormous eariliworks so judiciously thrown up, and the ultimate eaptUr e was achieved, if not by the toil of navvies, labour of a similar character. It has been well remarked by a very powerful 11104.,.---, - , _ writer, that " Sebastopol was defended by the piekaxe, spade, and shovel, and likewise won by these implements." It was unquestionably the close approaches of 4 ,11 , 3 , French lines that enabled our gallant Allies o possess themselves so rapidly of the Malakhoff, the "key" which speedily opened up Sebas topol, with all its accumulated stores, to the besieging force. It was the " open sesame," mhich rendered admission easy, and placed the vast treasures of the " forty (thousand) thieves" at the mercy of the possessors of the charm. The incessant and terrible bombardment maintained from the sth instant to the very moment of the onslaught had not merely thrown the Russians into confusion, but had compelled them to take shelter in the bomb-proof casements. The French storming party had but a few yards of open ground to cross. It was merely the business of a few seconds, and " the forlorn hope " had estab lished itself within the defences before the Rus sians were sufficiently aroused from their astonish ment to offer a serious resistance to their daring assailants. Then, indeed, they fought fiercely— desperately. But the first coup bad been inflicted, and it fully verified the apophthegm. It was even more than " half the battle." The Russians could never recover their lost ground, or succeed even for a moment in dislodging the vigorous escaladers. The capture of the Malakhoff was but the work of a few minutes. In less than a quarter of an hour after the time appointed for the at tack the tricolour was floating proudly over the Round Tower, gave the anxiously-looked-for sig nal that the time had arrived for the Britons to " strike home," and to test their power against the defences of the Great Redan, and up to that time the losses of the conquerors of the Mala khoff had been comparatively trivial when the magnitude of the undertaking and its vast con sequences are taken into consideration. The awful bloodshed was chiefly occasioned by the attacks on the two Redans, and on the Cen tral and Quarantine Bastions—all of which were unsuccessful. There considerable spaces should necessarily be traversed under concentrated fires before the assailants got at their work—and ter rible losses were inflicted before a single ladder could be planted, or an attempt to scale the frowning batteries. General SIMPSON has been censured for not having had his advances as forward as those of our brave Allies. It was, however, a necessity of his position. It was im possible for him to do so. The ground was com manded by a flanking fire, and the working par ties would have been annihilated in the front trenches had they even the power of constructing them, or found them ready made for their use. It is easy for those who "live at home at ease" to criticise the arrangements made by those who had to bear the brunt of the encounter, and who freely and lavishly shed their blood in their coun try's cause. Besides, although nominally the several attacks failed, they accomplished all that was required—. viz., to create such a diversion as would enable our brave allies fully to establish themselves in the Malakhoff, and to prevent the Russians from directing their whole attention and their entire force against the great prize of the day. While the various onslaughts were taking place, the victors had the opportunity of establishing them selves in their position, which they nobly and manfully held against the repeated and energetic attacks of the Russians, who bravely, but vainly, strove to regain that which they knew to be de• cisive of the fate of the entire city. Let us, then, not be disposed to treat in a captious spirit the brilliant deeds that have conferred so much honour on the Western Powers generally, or on vague guesses, or inadequate data, to condemn those of whom their country may well be proud. After the solicitude of a fortnight's suspense, and the recent excitement of vivid details of the tremendous bombardment and assault, we almost, need the relief of some domestic scene of quiet and p/eviaiug interest. Such a one is the forma tion of an agricultural society in Tipperary, with Lord STANLEY taking the lead. The reputation of Tipperary has been as bloody for times of peace is that of the Crimea itself for a time of war. The cruelties of the agrarian assassin may well match with Russian barbarities to the wounded. But the former are now happily, and, we may hope, f,r ever, matter of history. The strong arm of law has broken up and scattered the secret conspi racies which knew no mercy. Organisations for civil protection have overpowered and suspended organisations for murder ; and, better still, the social causes of such atrocities may be said to have vanished from Ireland. Just legislation and the Mysterious visitations of PROVIDENCE have altered the relations of society. The religion of the many is no longer proscribed either by statute-books or by the bestowers of patronage. Orangeism is become as odious to our law-makers as Riband isrn, while famine has led to the voluntary de parture of the myriads who starved each other, and necessity has compelled the nominal pro prietors of land to give up beggaring themselves and their miserable tenants with them. The un trustworthy potato has given place extensively to the more reliable cereals—the diminished number of labourers earn wages enabling them to live on the proper food of human beings ; indeed nothing seems wanting but the abolition of the sinecure Church of Ireland to render it one of the fairest portions of the three kingdoms. When Russian ambition is quieted it may be hoped we shall find leisure to overthrow the ecclesiastical am bition and covetousness, which are the only re maining blot on the condition of Ireland, at least Ao far as its condition depends on the uprightness o f legislation. The interesting feature of the association, whose formation Lord STANLEY honoured with his pre sence, is its comprising, even in Ireland, so largo a number of subscribers. It commences with 120 members, and subscriptions amounting to 1701., and much more than half the amount raised iu subscriptions of 11. This, considering that the association comprehends only the union of Tippe rary, is a large number of the less wealthy class. In Lancashire, Ford STANLEY found that so small were the holdings that even a 10s. subscription was too much for the majority of the farmers-; Tipperary would seem, therefore, agriculturally, bidding fair to rival that district, at least, of Eng land. The association is formed, like associations a like character in this country, to interest farmers in all the agricultural improvements of the age, whether mechanical, chemical, or those ~f a more strictly agricultural character, such as draining and fencing. Within quite recent me mory the very idea of forming an association with such objects in Ireland would have seemed like a chimera ; especially if formed, as in this case, with the' expectation of its being merely the pa rent and model of numerous others all over the island. Great, 'indeed, is the change from the time when the potato patch and the bog seemed to contend for the dominion of the surface of Ire- land, and when any inroad upon that dominion brought upon the too enlightened aggressors de nunciations at the altar, and the slugs of the skulking assassin. We are not to however, su ppose, that the sys .-....- a.., .. ~ tern, or rather no system, of generations can be rectified in a Yew years. Lord STANLEY has still to warn again st the fancied " dignity of occupying land,", by whdch whole families, which he had seen, were induced to live in ragged misery and destitution ; the patch of land which gave them their squalid rank not being large enough to maintain them three months in the year ! There are, it seems, many still who prefer the dignified idleness of occupying, and starving on, a wretched patch of land, to the comfort of good food, and decent raiment, earned by labour for their wealthier neighbours. This can, as Lord STANLEY observes, only be the result of a lingering, but we trust fast vanishing, prejudice, since Irishmen are industrious enough in England and America, and perform, indeed, the most laborious parts of the great works in both countries. There is, how ever, no doubt something repressive of improve ment in the ignorance fostered by Popery and essential to its dominance ; for wherever the Irish can congregate under their priests in our great towns, and in America, they retain their degraded habits ; and it is only when scattered amongst more enlightened communities that they develope the better endowments of the Celtic race. The Protestant and Popish states of the Continent are evidence of the same social truth. What with the education of English and Irish farmers in sounder views of their general require ment and capacities ;—of adult mechanics in the better class of reading through the instrumen tality of free libraries ; and cf Ecclesiastics in the Christian duty of refraining from fleecing their neighbours •to pay for religious services which they object to,—Lord STANLEY has undertaken no ordinary task. We fear he will find the in tolerance of his last-mentioned pupils even harder to breach than the ignorance of farmers and mechanics. As for us of the Press he has effec tually taught us our lesson. We have learned the mysteries of the new Stamp Act at last. Our unstamped penny rivals seem, however, to need a little instruction yet in the art of going alone, and even of maintaining life. They are Lord STANLEY'S children, he must teach them. HOSTILE CORRESPONDENCE. A morning contemporary publishes a correspondence between Mr. Alfred Hamilton, of Whitehall-gardens, and the Duke of Somerset. Mr. Hamilton, it would appear, was introduced to the Duke's apartment on business by mistake, and not being known by his Grace, was ordered to withdraw. A correspondence ensued, in which the Duke expresses surprise at the intrusion of a stranger on his privacy, and declining further communication refers Mr. Hamilton to his Grace's solicitor. A hostile communication follows, and this remaining unanswered, Mr. Hamilton has forwarded the correspondence to our contemporary. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.—Sept. 27. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

COWES CASTLE.—This favourite summer residence of the late Marquis of Anglesey is, we hear, to be the fu ture residence of Royalty. It passed from the "Board of Ordnance " to the " Board of Inland Revenue," and last week it was handed over to the " Woods and Fo rests." During this week the powder has been removed, and yesterday the cannons (eight 9-pounders) were dis mounted and shipped off. Report says that the Duchess of Kent will occupy this beautiful marine residence next summer. The members of the Royal Yacht Squadron have been very anxious to obtain it for a club-house, and doubtless would have succeeded in renting or purchasing it had it not been wanted for a part of the Royal family. LATEST NEWS. TRIESTE, SEPT. 27. We learn by accounts from Constantinople to the 17th that the Turkish troops in the Crimea, who had commenced to embark for Asia, have been sent to Eupatoria, in order to co-operate in a movement which will be made in the rear of the Russian army. Ten vessels with troops on board have already proceeded to Eupatoria. The Anglo-Turkish con- tingent which, a few days ago, was ordered to proceed to the Crimea will now go to Trebizond, to be placed under the command of Omer Pacha. The news from Trebizond of the 6th positively state that the Russians have abandoned the neighbourhood of Erzeroum and are now at Ma- laguleiman. Kars is greatly straitened for provisions. The garrison is eating horse flesh. DANTZIC, FRIDAY, SEPT. 28. The Bulldog has arrived with the mails. All the high-pressure block-ships have left for England. The weather continues unsettled.

PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING The Minister of War has received the following report from the Intendant-General of the army of the East : C Sebastopol, Sept. 11 " Monsieur le Marechal,—The glorious day of the Bth brought into our ambulances 4,472 wounded French, of whom 212 are officers, and 554 wounded Russians. It required all the activity, experience, and devotedness of the hospital staff placed under my orders for the ser vice to be properly performed in such exceptional cir cumstances. The removal of the wounded was effected with all possible promptitude, amidst trenches ploughed up by a complete storm of projectiles. About 3,000 men were brought in on the Bth. At the left attacks, where the nature of the ground allowed the mules to he sent almost on the scene of combat, the re mnval was effected very rapidly, but fit was more difficult on the right, among the deep and almost ina,cceoible ravines. From that part it was neces sary to bring the wounded from a great distance on litters, end hands were wanting for that pur pse. When night came on the combat still con tinued, and the last soldiers who fell only reached the ambulancein the morning of the 9th. By the evening, all, notwithstanding their great number, had received a first dressing, and the most urgent operations had been performed. Our medical men exerted themselves to the very utmost, and, as it were, multiplied themselves everywhere. Five among them, MM. Didot, Daga, Huard, Darcy, and Goinard were wounded. We have now in our ambulances of the Crimea, 10,520 men, of ' whom 372 are officers. The service is arranged in the most complete manner, and we effect the removals with out precipitation and with the greatest possible regularity. In anticipation of the events which have taken place, I had considerably increased the ambulance accommoda tion at Kamiesh, and all the surplus number had been removed thither from the divisional ambulances, and the latter were consequently able to receive 1,000 wounded men immediately after the combat. The number of the sick now amounts to 1,500, suitably installed under wooden huts, and the service is there perfectly carried on, thanks to the co-operation of the vice-admiral commanding the squadron, who, at my request, had placed at my disposal 12 surgeons from the fleet. MM. Bonduraud and Le Cauchois-Ferand, the intendants of the Ist and 2d Corps d'Armde, have admi rably seconded me, and they bad previously made the heat arrangements for so doing. Officiers de Sante, functionaries of the intendance, officers of the adminis tration, officers and soldiers of the waggon train, and hospital assistants have all performed their duties with the most praiseworthy and complete devotedness, and, on that day which is so glorious for our arms, the hospi tal and the administrative services worthily accomplished the task confided to them.—l am, &c., "° BLANOHOT."

M. Pacheco, Minister of Mexico, has written to the Pays to say that it is an error to suppose, as some newspaper writers have done, that the recent revolutionary movements in that coun try prepare the way for its annexation to the United States. " Whatever may be the changes that take place in Mexico," he declares, " they will always be of a national character ; no one thinks of annexation to the United States, and no party for such a purpose has ever existed."

An exceedingly interesting meeting was held in the theatre of this institution, yesterday evening, for the purpose of presenting a testimonial to Mr. J. Simpson, on the occasion of his retirement from the office of librarian. The attendance of subscribers and their friends was very numerous. The chair was occupied by CHARLES WOODWARD, Esq., F.R.S., President of the institution, who, while he congratulated Mr. Simpson upon the improvement of his position and prospects by his removal, expressed his deep r, gret at the loss the society would sustain thereby. He then, in a highly complimentary manner, bore testi mony, from his own personal observation, to the zeal and ability displayed by Mr. Simpson in the discharge of his duties during the eight years he had been connected with the society ; and after assuring him that he left with his own best wishes, and with those of all the mem berg, for the success of his future plans, presented him with a very handsome timepiece, and a purse of 301., the proceeds of a subscripti on en t ere d i n t o w i t h a v i ew of ex pressing 'their very high sense of the efficient yet un assuming manner in which the diveriified and onerous duties of his office had been invariably performed. Mr. SIMPSON, in an appropriate speech, expressed the great gratification afforded him by the proCeedings of that occasion ; stated the circumstances which led to his re signation, and warmly thanked the officers and members of the society, not only for their parting gifts, but also for the many previous acts of kindness which he bad re ceived from them. He assured them that the recollec tion of that evening, and the associations connected with his residence in Islington, would be cherished till life's latest day with feelings of lively gratitude ; and, after wishing them, individually and as a society, every pros perity, wtih much felling he bade them—Farewell. The timepiece, the value of which is 141, is of bronze and gold, and was manufactured by Mr. Hislop. It bears the following inscription :—" Presented, with a purse of 301., by the President, Vice-President, Committee, and 182 members of the Islington Literary and Scientific Society, to Mr. Joseph Simpson, on his retirement from the office of Librarian, as a testimonial of their high ap proval of his zealous, faithful, and valuable services during a period of eight years. 27th September, 1855."

VISIT OF THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE TO LIVERPOOL. —At a special meeting of the Liverpool Town Council on Wednesday, the Mayor (James A.

The announcement caused general satisfaction, and the mo tion for an address from the corporation to the duke was unanimously passed. It was also resolved that, owing to the successes of the allied armies in the Crimea, the day of his Royal Highness's visit should be kept as a holiday in all the public departments under the council, and that the, Town-hall and public buildings be illumi nated. The council also called on the inhabitants to join in the demonstration by displaying banners during the day, and illuminating in • the evening. Public amuse ments will be provided at the corporate expense, and bonfires lighted in the suburbs. In the evening, the Mayor will give a grand banquet to his august vi3itor, after which a ball will be held at the Town-hall. THE CRIMEA. A letter from Vienna of the 22d7in the Ind*. pendance of Brussels, says : " From the accounts which have been received here it wonld appear that the allies are actively preparing for a campaign, and doubtless they have it in contem plation to force the Russian line of defence of Tscherker- Kerman, or, in other words, to make a diversion against Bakshi-Serai. This two, which contains 1,500 houses, and 10,000 inhabitants, is the statio n o f t h e reserve of the Russian army which holds the plateaux of the Bel beck. From 300 to 400 deserters, most of them Poles, have arrived at the allied camp ; they relate that the demoralisation of the Russian army was most complete ; and that such was the confusion from the first moment of the attack, that the soldiers, exhausted with fatigue, remained for 24 hours without provisions. The loss of the Russians is estimated at 18,000." A letter from Berlin of the 23d says :—" Vari ous circumstances at. St. Petersburg seem to indicate that Prince Gortschakoff will soon evacuate the forts to the north of Sebastopol. These forts, since the destruction of the Russian fleet and the naval establishments, are only stra tegic points. Well-informed people say that if the Russian General should consider it desirable to concentrate his forces in the interior of the Crimea, he will not leave in the rear the garrisons of the forts. Amongst the Russian officers killed at Se bastopol is a son of M. Meyendorff, formerly Rus sian Ambassador at Berlin and Vienna. AUSTRIA. A letter from Vienna, in the Augsburg Ga zette, says :—" It is at present certain that Aus tria, will not attempt to interrupt the march of military events by a new proposition of mediation, whatever may be her desire to see peace re-esta blished. It is. clearly seen here that, in oint f fact, this re su lt cannot be attained by diplomatic intervention, and that peace can only be esta blished after the complete exhaustion in men and money of one of the belligerent parties." THE MEDITERRANEAN. MARSEILLES, Sept. 26.—There have been nume rous arrivals of steamers and transports laden with sick and wounded soldiers from the Crimea during the last -three days. The mail steam-packet Simois arrived on Sunday, bringing upwards of 400. Some English officers, who came as pas sengers, say that the wounded suffered severely for want of surgical care and proper accompao dation. The ship was so crowded that many dan gerously wounded were forced to remain on deck both day and night. The consequence was that several of them died before the steamer passed the Dar danelles. Others were left at Malta, where they were most hospitably received, and supplied with every comfort. The Constantinople mail steamer Carmel arrived early on Monday morning. She made a quick passage of 6 days and 12 hours. She brought 200 invalids. She was followed by the English steamer Athenian, towing the transport clipper Gauntlet. The Athenian carried 170 and the Gauntlet 250 convalescents. The French frigate Canada arrived from Kamiesh yesterday, towing the English transport Rajahgopal. She touched at Toulon on Monday, where the Canada landed a portion of her invalid passengers. She landed the remainder (80) at the Frioul, and the Rajahgopal was towed into the Joliette with 180 sick and wounded. There have been but few troops em barked this week, but the quantity of bomb-shells and cartouches shipped is immense. The steamer Cheliff sailed with the mails for Constantinople on Monday. She took likewise 70 soldiers of various corps, and several tons of bomb-shells—a very un usual cargo for a mail-packet. The General Screw Company's steamer Calcutta, Captain Blackmore, is expected to sail for the C. imea to-morrow, with the transport Eliza in tow. Both ships are heavily laden with military stores. The Lady Jocelyn is gone to Toulon to repair the injury she received during her last voyage to the Black Sea. A body of navvies, with several of the land transport corps, in all 250 men, sailed for the Cri -mea in the steamer Teleg r aph on Saturday afternon. As an erroneous report was circulated among the French hero that the navvies mutinied and re fused to embark until certain conditions were complied with, I think it necessary to state the facts. The men wished to enjoy themselves before they proceeded on their distant voyage, and asked for some money. But when the impropriety of dispersing themselves in such a town as Mar seilles was explained to them by the officer second in command they immediately acquiesced and embarked without difficulty. The officer in ques tion has attained a distinguished reputation dur ing ten years' service in India. On this occa sion he showed considerable tact in managing a sometimes rather turbulent body of men. The Telegraph is not fitted for carrying troops, and can comfortably accommodate 60 passengers at most. She arrived without any stores, and consequently it is not surprising that some confusion, dissatisfac tion, and detention was caused in providing for 250. I must in justice to the navvies state that I found them after they had passed a night on board, quite cheerful, and willing to accommodate them. selves to their confined position. Five hundred and fifty more navvies have ar rived at Valence, on their way to Marseilles, for embarkation for the Crimea. The Madrid journals of the 22d are principally occupied with the arrest of M. Perales, lately secretary to the Queen, which we announced yes terday, for alleged participation in the affair of the seditious proclamations. A letter from the Hague, of the 22d, states that M. J. Opden Hooff, the new President of the High Court of the Netherlands, who had but two days befcre taken the oaths to his Majesty on his appointment, died suddenly from an attack of apo plexy. Ile was in his 60th year. THE OVERLAND MAIL We have recived the following telegraphic de. spatch from Trieste : TRIESTE, THURSDAY, SEPT. 27. The steamer Calcutta arrived here yesterday (the 26th) at 10 p.m. in 123 hours from Alexandria, which she left on the 21st. The Indian mail left Alexandria on the 21st, with advices from Calcutta to the 24th of August, Bombay to the 29th of August, Shanghai to the 2d of August, Canton to the Bth of August, and Hong Kong to the 10th of August. The Santal rebellion continues, but the rebels are beginning to give way. 50,000 rebels are assembled in the hill districts. The bill for granting a charter to the Oriental Gas Company has passed its second reading. Lord Elphinstone has returned to Bombay. Lord Dalhousie remains at the Neilgherries. Money is very scarce. The Bengal Bank h as ra i se d it s ra t e to 12 per cent. The New Five per Cents, are at 1 discount; the Four per Cent. Loan is at 13 discount. Exchange on London, 2 Of. The pirates in China hold under control a coast line of 2,000 miles in the tea districts of Hoonan and Oopack. The rebels are in great strength, and the trade of Canton is very restricted.

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. - - PORTSMOUTH, Thursday Night.—Her Majesty's steam-frigate Penelope, Captain Sir William Wise man, arrived at Spithead this evening from the Cape, St. Helena, Ascension, and Madeira. She left the Cape on the 6th ult. with the 91st Regi ment, mustering 318 strong, including o ffi cers . Th e intellig ence b rought by the Penelope strengthens the report of the loss of her Majesty's sloop Ner hudda, off Cape Agullas ; no tidings had been re ceived of that vessel up to the date of the Pene lope's departure from the Cape. Lieutenant Comber, of the Hydra, has come home to pass his examination. The Frolic, 12, Commander Nolloth, and the Hydra, 6, Commander Morris, were the only sea going vessels at Simon's Bay when the Penelope left. The officers of the 91st, who have come horn. with the regiment, are—Major Wright, command ing ; Major Rawstorne, Major Savage, Captains Gordon and Bruce, Lieutenants Crampton, Bond, Lane, Thomas, Gregg, and Hall, Adjutant Squirl, Ensign M'Pherson, Quartermaster Patterson, Sur geon Arden, Assistant-Surgeon O'Niel. The Cape Colony was quiet, and the Governor, Sir George Grey, had started from Cape Town for the frontier, to visit the Caffre Chiefs. The Penelope has been constantly employed in removing troops from Cape Town to the frontier, and has performed most important and essential service during the time she has been out on that station. She brought mails from Ascension and Madeira, and was present at the latter place at the proclamation of the young King of Portugal. The Penelope, during her run round from Simon s Bay, encountered for the last three days a con tinuous breeze from the S.E., the last day amount ing to a smart gale ; the fourth day, Sunday, was fine, the wind shifting to the W.N.W., at which point it has continued, with slight variation, to blow violently ever since. The only members of the Legislature on board were Messrs. Mete's.. kamp, Wood, and Godlonton, who speak in high terms of Captain Sir W. Wiseman and the other officers of the ship, all of whom vied in their en deavours to render their brief companionship among them as agreeable as possible. THE EMPRESS OF _RUSSIA. A private letter from Berlin states that the news of the taking of Sebastopol has produced at St. Petersburg the utmost consternation. The young Empress, who appears to desire to be at the head of the peace party, does not spare her reproaches against the war party. She says that if the note of Vienna bad been accepted, Russia would have been spared the humiliation of the four points of guarantee demanded by the allies ; and that, if at a later period those guarantees had been accepted, Russia would have been spared the shame of the defeat of the Tchernaya and the terrible disaster of the fall of Sebastopol. The journey of the Em peror to the south had been resolved upon before the fall of Sebastopol was known. Its object was to raise the spirit of the Russian army, which, according to the reports of Prince Gortschakoff, was greatly broken and depressed. The Russians are much more embarrassed to find men than provisions and munitions of war, especially as one-third at least of the effective troops remain behind on the way, and never come up to their destination. The youthful Earl Coventry, with a select party of juvenile friends, is shooting over his estate at Croome, in Worcestershire. BALLOON ASCENT.—On Wednesday evening last Mr. Coxwell made the second of a series of contemplated ascents in his war balloon, from the Surrey Zoological Gardens, for the purpose of illustrating the system of telegraphic signals invented and perfected by himself with reference to military purposes in particular. The aeronaut was accompanied by two gentlemen of scientific acquirements ; and the evening being all that could bode sired, the code of signals was worked to great advantage. Not having a key of the telegraphic signals we are not in possession of the facts communicated thereby ; but the varied changes of the telegraph excited universal curiosity amongst the assembled thousands, who wore immensely gratified at the sight. DREADFUL OCCURRENCE AT ITORSELTDOWN.—Yester ,Iay a respectable female, named Mary Ann Smith, was found with her throat cut. The unfortunate woman had sent her daughter out on an errand, and on her return her mother was weltering in a pool of blood in the back kitchen. She was conveyed to Guy's Hospital, when it was ascertained that the windpipe and carotid artery were divided. THIS DAY'S NEWS COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RE SNOOK V. SNOOK. This was a meeting for last examination. The bank rupts were described as of Oiborne House, King-street, Hammersmith, drapers, &c. The balance•sbeet commenced Oct., 1854, and ended Aug., 1855, and showed creditors, 9421. ; do holding security, 1001. ; creditors by good debts, 521. ; lease in bands of creditors, 851. ; property given up, 2861. The bankrupts passed. SECONDARIES' COURT. (Before Mr. Secondary Potter.) DE MEDINA V. FLACK. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a solici tor, to recover 61. 14s. Bd. of the defendant, a journey man baker, for professional services rendered. The defendant pleaded he was not indebted, ma the ground that the plaintiff, through his agent, undertook the business in question, on the principle of " no cure no pay." A wrong distress having been put into his house the plaintiffs clerk said there was a good cause of action against the party wrongly distraining, and that the defendant would undertake it for the costs he could get out of that person. This was denied by the plaintiff, and Mr. Secondary Potter having ruled that an agent could not in such a case bind the principal, The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for 41. 10s. MANSION -HOUSE. William Smith, a boy 11 years of age, was charged before the Lord Mayor with pocket picking. Police•constable Dunnaway, 129 H, deposed that, a rowing match taking place yesterday afternoon on the Thames, he was on duty in plain clothes on Custom house Quay, when he saw the prisoner put his hand into a lady's pocket and take something out, and join two or three other boys. He went up to him and asked him what he had. He said nothing, but on searching him he found on him a port monnaie containing one sovereign, one shilling, one franc, and a fourpenny piece. The polite bad been unable to find the lady to whom the purse belonged, and the prisoner was remanded till Wednesday. John Cox, carman, in the employ of Messrs. Hall and Co., candle manufacturers, of Queen -street, Cheap side, was charged with stealing a quantity of composite candles, the property of his employers, and Irvin Dinning, 59, Tooley-street, oilman, with receiving the same, knowing them to have been stolen. The prosecutors having occasion to suspect Cox's honesty he was watched by one of their clerks, and was seen yesterday afternoon to stop in front of Dinning's shop, when the latter assisted him in to his shop with two 12 dozen candle boxes, after which Cox took a 61b. packet of composite candles into the shop. He shortly after came out and drove off. He was unable to say how many candles were in the boxes. Inspector Newnham apprehended the prisoners, and found on Dinning's premises a large quantity of candles of a description different to those invoiced to him from the prosecutor. The prisoners were remanded. GUILDHALL. EMBEZZLEMENT.—Ebenezer Chivers was charged be fore Alderman Humphery with embezzling 501., the funds of the City of London and• General Loan Associ ation. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner bad acted as secretary to the association for 5 years, but had ceased to be so occupied the past 6 months. It was part of the duty of the prisoner to receive the repay ments of money advanced, entering the amounts on a card furnished the borrowers, and to put the money into the till. Since the prisoner had left the society an examination of the books, &c., bad taken place, and deficiencies discovered amounting to the above sum. Evidence having been given of the non-accounting of three payments made by a Mr. Cakebread, surety for a borrower of 51., named Davis, the prisoner was re manded. Bail would be taken for his appearance. THE ATTEMPTED MURDER ON SNOW-HlLL.—George Mulley, remanded, charged with attempting to murder his wife, Ellen Mulley, was again placed at the bar. _ _ Mr. Alderman Humphery said he had received a me dical certificate stating the unfortunate woman was still in a dangerous state, and was unable yet to attend ; consequently, he must be further remanded. P. C. 10 said he had been at the hospital, and under stood the prisoner's wife was in a weak state; last night and the night before she threw up a large quantity of blood. The prisoner was remanded till to-morrow week. THAMES. A FAMILY OF THIEVEEL—Two girls, who both gave the name of Elizabeth, Smith., and stated their ages to be 19 and 17, were brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with being in possession of half a ham and eight yards of cotton print, suspected to have been stolen or un lawfully procured. William Copping, police-constable 379 K, stated that the real name of the prisoners was Hunns, and they be longed to a family of thieves. After a lengthened inves tigation, Mr. Yardley said he had no doubt the prisoners got their living by thieving. He sentenced the youngest prisoner to two months' imprisonment and hard labour, and the eldest to six weeks' imprisonment and hard labour. VIOLENT ASSAULT IN A PUBLIC-HOUSE. ---Thomas Kartes and Daniel llearn, mechanics, were charged with being drunk, disorderly, and assaulting William Hymes and James Taylor, the former barman and the latter potman at the Coach and Horses public-house, in High-street, Shadwell. The prisoners were fined 203. each, which was paid. soura WARK. THE TURKISH CONTINGENT AND CABBY.—Captain ,Morgan of the Turkish Contingent was summoned before Mr. A'Beckett, by two cabmen, for refusing and neglecting to pay them their legal fare for conveying re cruits from the office in King-street, Westminster, to the Bricklayers' Arms Station of the South-Eastern Railway, in the Old Kent-ro ad. Thomas James, badge 8,064, stated that about twenty minutes to eight o'clock on the morning of the 22d inst. he was called off the stand in the Palace-yard to take up a fare in King-street, the recruiting office of the Turkish Contingent. He remained there until twenty minutes past eight, when he took up five of the soldiers and conveyed them to the Bricklayers' Arms Station, where he arrived at twenty minutes to nine. Each of the Contingent had heavy luggage, and he had to wait until nine o'clock because Captain Morgan had not ar rived to receive the men. When he came he offered witness four shillings, but being entitled to more he re fused to receive it. Witness told the Captain that the fare three miles was ls. 6d., three extra persons ls. Gd., three quarters of an hour waiting ls. 6d., and baggage 10d., making in all ss. 4d. The defendant having re fused to pay him his demand he was compelled to take the present proceedings. Captain Morgan said he defended the case on public grounds, because he really believed that both the cab men had attempted to extort money from him. On the 22d instant he ordered his sergeant-major to hire 11 cabs, to be at the Recruiting-office, King-street, by eight o'clock and not before, which was the time they were engaged to drive the men to the Bricklayers' Arms station. Before the cabs left he went to every driver, and particularly tpld them they were not to take more than three men in each of their vehicles ; and, of course, he thought such an order would be obeyed. He arrived at the station at nine o'clock, and discharged the calm, when all took 4s. each as their fares, except the prisoners, who made such an extortionate demand that he was de termined not to pay them. He also considered that it was almost impossible for the complainant to drive five men and heavy luggage three miles in 20 minutes. Mr. A'Beckett was of the same opinion, and the complainant might consider himself lucky he was not taken into custody for furious driving. The cabman said his was a young horse, and could easily go ten miles an hour. Mr. A'Beckett said he must order Captain Morgan to pay the cabman ss. 4d., as he had no evidence to con tradict his statement. The other cabman, William Thomson, 629, claimed 55., which the captain was also ordered to pay with the costs. Captain Morgan paid the money, but considered he had been imposed upon by the cabmen. MARYLEBONE. CHARGE AGAINST A SERVANT FOR STEALING A GOLD WATCH.—A young woman, named Sarah A spey, servant to Henry Meredith, Esq., 77, Connaught-terrace, Edg ware-road, was placed at the bar for re-examination, charged with having stolen a gold watch, value thirty guineas, tho property of David Reynolds, a general in the American army, and who at present resides at the house above alluded to. The evidence gone into upon the former and present the occasioi:s went to show that on Thursday morning,' 20th inst., he missed his watch from his bedroom. I was safe on a shelf when he retired to rest the nigh before. The area gate was, early in the rnoruing, found open, and, as the prisoner was seen late on Wednesday c ted night talking to a man at the ga te, she was sus s of the robbery. When told th a t the Gen eral had lost his watch, she said, " Well, and what have I to do with that ?" glie was questioned as to w h o the man was with whom she had been in conv ersation, when she stated that his name was Jem Wilson , and that he lived at Union-place, South-wharf-road, Paddington: Upon inqui r y, ma d e by Sergeant Warren , 27 this turned out to be false, and he (the officer) ascertained that two other addresses which she gave were fictitious- He had made all possible inquiry with the view of tracing the watch, but as yet had not been successful. The case being altogether one of a strong l y suspicious nature against the accused, Mr. Long felt himself bound to send it to a jury. Prisoner was accordingly committed for trial. FATAL COLLISION ON THE EAST LAX CASHIER RAILWAY• Yesterday, about half-past 12 o'clock at noon, a Pa g s senger train on the East Lancashire line ran into& good train at Summerseat, near Bary, causing the loss of a guard's life, and more or less injuring four of the, passel gen. The passenger train was on its way from ng ton to Manchester, and had been preceded b y a g"ds train in the same direction. The goods trai n stopped at the station, and the passenger train, thoug h slackening speed to stop at the same place, came in co llision with the former with sufficient force to knock t o p ieces tha t guard's van and three of the waggons. The engine ° the passenger train was much injured, and a second -410 carriage close behind the tender was a little broken. Os guard of the goods train was killed on the spot. Ti le , passengers injured include Mr. Perring, professor music at Manchester, who, besides being severely sbeed• k had his mouth cut. A gen tl em an named Dac k a p Peare to suffer much from the shock, though at the t ime he appeared to have sustained no severe bruise, ah nor of fracture of the bones.
