LITERATURE. - - TI Le St. James's Medley. John Mitchell, 33, Old Bond-street. "Under this somewhat q uaint and cour tl y title the fourth number of a new and by no means dull sud assuming serial is presented to , our notice. On the contrary, in "The St. Jame d s s Medley, or (to g ive its alias) Fiction, Fact, an Fan cies from the it toadside of Life," we a re persua d e d t he public will r ecognise alively, u nassuming, and decidedly meri orious mag azine---one in w hich amusement awl/ instruction are judiciously blended, and which ma - y confidently challenge the approbation of a wid c ircle of readers, including young and old, clerical an d lay, and all to whom the question of cost is ( ) bot a matter of indifference. A convietion of t his sort, of course, implies a knowledge of its cort tents, and, so far as the present number is con cerned, we confess at once to obedience to the prayer of one of the mottoes affixed to the title page, viz., the following quotation from a quaint old writer :—" One word, reader, and then God speed thee. Do not open it at adventures, and by reading the broken pieces of two or three lines judge it ; but read it through, and then I beg no pardon if thou dislikest it."—(Thos. Adams.) Recommending the reader to follow our example, and begin at the beginning, and go right on to the end, we can promise him by way of encouragement a large instalment of an able and graphic descrip tion of " Wellington and his Times ;" a long and exceedingly interesting paper on " The Jews in England ;" a pleasing and somewhat exciting sketch of travel and adventure in North Wales ; a startling auto-description (freely translated from the French) of the state of feeling of one about to undergo the last penalty of the law ; a few choice lines, "In Memoriam,' presenting a beautiful and touching picture ; some very readable leaves from the " Diary of a Blind Traveller in Spain," a poli tical article, which he may let alone or read as ho likes ; and a number of pithy literary notices—the whole constituting a medley which, if after fairly reading it through, he dislikes, we in our turn " beg no pardon" of him. From the article on " The Jews in England" it would appear that they are 40,000 in number, one-half, or 20,000, residing in London. After a vivid description of the man ners, customs, and general condition of this singular race, the writer forcibly (perhaps a little harshly) remarks:—"Let them retain their peculiar usages if they will ; let them cling to their super stition, until common sense and mental freedom rid them of her iron fetters ; but if the middle and higher classes are to be raised to a status of real respect and honour, the resurrection must be from within, and the lower class must rise with them. They must be washed, combed, and q.ducated in body as well as mind. Fresh air, sunshine, clean liness, and self-respect will soon help to rid them of moral miasma, mental darkness, and social de gradation." One more quotation, and we are done. —it embraces the opening and concluding stanzas of the lines " In Memoriam :" " As sunlight dies along the wall, So dies Life's light from out her face ; And o'er the hazel eyes' sweet grace The weary e•r•elids softly fall. Her soul, untroubled, undistressed, It's faith by gentle patience proves ; Her lips but one faint murmur moves ; She saith, 'Lord, take me to thy rest " So end "all Christian souls. ' LORD NAAS UN l'ilE WAR. The noble ex-Secretary for Ireland met his con stituents of the borough of Coleraine last week at a public dinner, in order to give an account of his stewardship since the political interests of the town were placed in his keeping. After touching upon a variety of topics, local and domestic, his lordship proceeded to discuss the great question of the day, —the war with Russia : " Whatever (said Lord Naas) may be said of the origin of the war, there can be but one opinion now,—that as long as it lasts it should be conducted with vigour and determination. (Loud applause.) I, in common with many, have always believed that this contest might have been avoided at first ; that more vigour in our warlike preparation, and more frankness and plain-speaking in our diplomacy, might have saved us from all the horrors and misery that have occurred ; but I am not the less sure that our quarrel is just. I am not the lees willing to give every support to her Majesty's Govern ment in their laudable efforts to sustain the honour and procure the safety of this country. It is true that the origin of the war may be somewhat forgotten ; some of its first objects may be already obtained—the Princi palities are safe, Turkey relieved from imminent danger, and the Russian fleet bas ceased to exist ; but it does not therefore follow from that that a peace patched up at this moment would be a lasting:one. Wars cannot be limited like diplomatic disputes, and regulated by strict rule. Yoe cannot conduct or conclude a war as you would demonstrate a proposition in Euclid. (Trees-, hear.) Human passions, national feeling, the aspect of neutral States, military success, or the reverse, are con tinually altering the character of the contest. Once the blessed bond of peace is severed, and the havoc of war begun, belligerent Powers are no longer hound by treaties and conferences, but each party has a right to make the best of the situation, and concessions on one side or the other which might have been accepted as prevenra tives of war are not always to be considered, after we have :made .enormous sacrifices, as certain restora tives of peace. Thus it is in my opinion right to con tinue this contest, as we have it now in cur power, till Russia is, deprived of that maritime supremacy in the Black Sea which has been the cause of all this trouble. I cannot think that as long as she retains that enormous seaboard in the Euxine, with. those.almost unassailable strongholds, that object has been attained. We have hitherto been successful. Through the endurance and courage of our soldiers we have succeeded in every attempt. The allied armies have won three pitched battles, have taken a city after a siege unparalleled in history, and with it 2,000 pieces of cannon. They are in possession of four important positions on the enemy's territory. Tbey hare established a force (now well sup. plied) in one of these positions of more than 150,000 men, attended by 100 sail of fighting ships, and an in numerable fleet of transports; and with these advantages, gained by the valour of our brothers and of our sons, are we to limit our demands to those weary four points, or make peace by the assistance of German inscrutability or the terms of the Vienna Conference ? No, gentlemen, such a peace will never satisfy this country. (Cheers.) This matter must be settled finally and for ever.' We must endeavour to place the recurrence of the events of the past year beyond all human possibility, and if our terms may seem to some too harsh, and our demands tc) exacting, it i s b ecause we wish to be certain of our ob- ' jjleet cure,"as skilful s urgeons cut beyond the wound to ma k e complete." e t I may be told that these opinions, if carried into practice, would lead to 30 years of war. On the cont rary , gcnictei,e 50 years of peace. Loienk"t 'o l th believe th e y wou ld l ea d to your eye over th e map. You e st . ate of Europe.

They seek curb the suc cess. They look for no territorial aggrandisement. They seek but to defend the weak, t o ag gressor, and to maintain in Europe the present balance of power. Look at the other Powers. None of th em can be called aggressive. The policy of Austria, with h er financial difficulties—with Italy on the one side and Hun gary on the other, must be a policy of repose. Prussia, inscrutable Prussia, with her highly-educated people, her literary and convivial King, her philosophy and he r music, seems quite removed from the consideration of sublunary affairs. (A. laugh.) The Scandinavian kingdoms, and the monarchies of the Low Countries, are content with their respectable mediocrity. Spain—poor Spain—exhausted by years of the most atrocious mis government, and torn to pieces by intestine feuds, can hardly be said, as a political Power, to exist. At Naples, her amiable despot seems only intent on making war on the respectable portion of his own subjects. Rus sia is, therefore, the only power on the continent that can be called aggressive. Her traditional policy is one of aggrandisement. Our mission is to force her to change that policy; to show her that her great armaments can not insure her victory ; that her enormous frontier is but a source of weakness, that military power is not th e , her t6aelnily origin of a nation's grea t ness ; s h ow the B anti ho ne pe of ever placing a R uss i an d ynas t y on y —force her to rone.is gone for ever ; show h er a ll thi s ment of h er c devote beteSottog energies to th e develop ountlestereeotieqs, and you will, as far as human eye can judge, secu re 'lie peace of Europe for a hundred years. while I would support this war now, I would be far that circumstances might not arise when a w ° „ ta uld sa ling the cause of peace.

(Loud cheers,)" ma THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 21, 1855 LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.) QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco, before Lord Campbell, Justices Coleridge, Wightman, and Erle.) IN Ric W. H. BARBER-THE WILL FORGERIES. Naval and Military Intelligence. The steara-tranwort Orinoco arrived at Spithead yes terday from the Mediterranean; She left Malta on the 10th inst., bringing among her passengers Lieutenant Geneste, R.N., who was taken in the landing of the Cossack's boat's crew at Hango ; Mr. Gordon C. Sin clair, acting mate, R.N., wounded in the Naval Brigade at the late attack : Mr. Mason, midshipman of the General Screw Steam-shipping Company ; William White and Thomas Day, late stewards to Captain the Hon. H. Keppel, R.N. She passed the screw•steamer Solway off Cape Finisterre, standing S.W., on the 17th inst., at 4 p.m. It will be remembered that Mr. Barber, concerned with the will forgeries, in connection with Fletcher, and who was convicted and sentenced to transportation, has since his pardon made repeated applications to this Court to be readmitted an attorney of the Court, but refused. Last terra a similar application was again made and refused. The screw three-decker Marlborough, 181, and the Hind steam gun-boat were docked yesterday at Ports mouth, and the Swinger gun-boat was undocked. The Arrogant, 46, Captain Yelverton, went into harbour to refit. Lord Campbell, on taking his seat this morning, said that in the matter of W. H. Barber, who had applied to be re•admitted an attorney of this Court, the learned judges had long and anxiously considered all the evi dence laid before them, and the Court had arrived at the conclusion that the evidence to establish Barber's connivance with the frauds of Fletcher, alleged against him, was of too doubtful a nature to induce them to con tinue his exclusion any longer, and therefore the Court ordered the rule for his re-admission to be made absolute. Her Majesty's screw steam-ship Exmouth, 90, bear ing the flag of Sir Michael Seymour, arrived at Ply mouth Sound yesterday morning, having left Kiel on the 13th. Admiral Seymour, who visited the dockyard yes terday morning, is apparently in good health. The steam-ships Sanspareil, 70, Captain Woodford J. Williams, and La Hogue, 60, Captain William Ramsay, were placed in the basin dock at Keyham on Monday. The hired steam transport Arabia, No. 95, Captain Stone, which arrived at Plymouth on Sunday, was ap pointed yesterday to embark the 2d Regiment Royal Cheshire Militia from Devonport, and to sail this morn ing for Dublin, whence they will proceed to Newry. The American steam transport Niagara, Capt. Shan non, arrived in Cork harbour on Sunday, having on board the officers and men of the Royal South Lincoln Militia, enumerated in The Sum of Saturday. Rule made absolute accordingly. THE QUEEN ON THE PROSECUTION OF JAMES WHITTAKER AN) OTHERS RESPONDENTS V. JOHN LORD APPELLANT. This was an appeal against a conviction in which the trustees of the turnpike roads of Burnley and Rochdale, and the commissioners of the town of Rochdale were concerned, and the question was, whether under certain general and local acts the trustees of the roads have the power to levy tolls in respect of paving•stones used in the town. The Court quashed the conviction. BAIL COURT. (Before Mr. Jastioe Erle.) TEE QUEEN V. THE CHURCHWARDENS OF ET. CLEMENT'S DANES. THE NEW METROPOLITAN VESTRIES ACT. Mr. Sergeant Shee applied for a mandamus against the churchwardens of St. Clement's Danes, calling upon them to summon a vestry meeting, pursuant to the 18th and 19th Vic., chap. 120, for the election of vestrymen and auditors. A. meeting had been convened, and cer tain vestrymen and auditors elected ; but it was con tended that that meeting and election was void, on the grounds that at that meeting the churchwardens refused to allow certain gentlemen, who are properly rated to the poor on a rental of 401., to be candidates for the said offices, by refusing to allow certain voters to vote at that election, on the ground that they had not paid their church-rates, made in May, 1854, the act requiring that the ratepayer before voting shall have paid all local rates made within the six months previous to the election. The learned sergeant contended that the church-rate in question was void, because it included the payment of certain local charges, such as the organ blower, &c. The ratepayers had not the power of testing in the Ecclesiastical Court the validity of the rate, the initiative being with the churchwardens ; but that, where their civil rights were affected, they might bring the question before the court in the manner he hal done. The appointing a ratepayer named Huggett an inspector of the election, who was himself a candidate for the office of vestryman, was an impriper proceeding. The act did not, he said, enable the churchwardens to refuse a candidate for the office of vestryman who had not paid his rates. Mr. Justice Erle said this was a very important appli cation, and he would state his decision to-morrow morning. Mr. Sergeant Shee said the object of this application was to prevent the continuance of mere excitement and ill-feeling in the parish than was actually necessary. If the learned judge did not grant the rule now the persons elected would take office this afternoon, and consequently the applicants would then be driven to a quo warranto, which would be a more expensive proceeding, and throw greater difficulties in the way of a speedy and, it was to be hoped, amicable settlement of the dispute. After ' some further observations from the learned sergeant, Mr. Justice Erle granted the role, and it was ar ranged that the practice of the court in issuing such rules should be departed from, and cause shown on Satur day or Monday. His object in doing so was to put an end as speedily as possible to any ill-feeling that might exist amongst the parishioners. The other side might on application have the hearing adjourned to next term. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) THAMES. BENEVOLENCII.—This morning on our reporter enter ing the court, Mr. Ingham announced that he had re ceived the very handsome donation of 501. for the poor box, from Lady C. 8., and he should be obliged if the donation was noticed in the journals. BURGLARY AND ROBBERY.--:.kha Spearman and Richard Dunmore, young men, were brought before Mr. Ingham, this morning, directly he had taken his seat on the bench, and charged with the commission of a daring burglary and robbery on'the premises of Mr. John Bond, mast and block maker and ship-smith, Fore street, Limeheuse. Mr. Bond stated that his water-side premises consisted of a mast-yard, adjacent to the river, and were secured with four uppor and lower nhottere the These shutters were fastened with buttons. His dwel ling-house was over the mast-yard, and he slept on the premises. On Friday night last, at 12 o'clock, he heard a noise, which he thought proceeded' from the salt wharf adjoining, and he went to sleep again. On Saturday morning, his boy, on going down stairs, disco vered the mast-yard had been entered from the river. The thieves unfastened the shutters fronting the Thames and silenced his dog, which he heard barking for sonic time. They forced open a door at the bottom of the stairs of his dwelling-house and put the dog inside. The burglars had carried off a good deal of property, and broke open a desk from which they abstracted 100 " patent roller cogues." They also took from the mast yard a quantity of brass sheaves, 25 lbs. of sheathing copper, 140 or 150 brass ro:lers, 6 or 7 lbs. of copper nails, several packets of files and other property. A. pistol had also been stolen from a pistol box left in his charge by the captain of a ship. An at'enint had been made to f rce open two iron safes, which resisted the attempts of the burglars. He had some knowledge of the man with the smock frock (Spearman), and had seen him about the yard several times. Thomas Barlow, a boy, and servant to the last wit ness, gave similar evidence, and added that he found 81 cogues in the mud fronting his master's premises on Saturday morning. Mr. Bond—The thieves dropped the cogues in the mud when they retreated from the premises, and we found them at low•water mark. Thomas Attwood, a police constable, No. 422 K, who was in a very weakly condition, said that on Sa turday morning last, at six o'clock, he saw the prisoners and another man crossing Salmon's-lane, Lime house. Spearman had a large bag containing some heavy material on his back. He intercepted them near the Ratcliff workhouse, and asked Spearman what he had got in his bag. The prisoner refused to tell him, and a struggle ensued, and ho made his escape. Last night he (witness) met the prisoners in the Commercial-road, and took them into custody. The prisoners were remanded until Saturday. SOUTHWARK. MORE DEALINGS WITH RllSSlA.—Cornelius Bowen, a labouring man, was brought before Mr. Combe, charged with stealing about a hundredweight of Russian tallow, ;he property of Messrs. Scovell and Company, wharfin gers, Tooley-street. William Lawson, a foreman in the employ of the pro secutors, said that on Monday morning they were un loading a quantity of tallow just arrived from Russia, and the prisoner was employed in the gang. From in formation he received he went to the wharf and gave the prisoner into custody. He had a bag of tallow in his possession weighing a hundredweight and two quarters, which he was carrying away from the wharf. Mr. Landon, an engineer, riding in Tooley-street, said he was passing by the wharf when he saw the pri soner break the head of a cask in and take outs quantity of tallow w hi c h h e put i nto a bag. Witness went and told Lawson what he had seen, and the prisoner was given into custody. Mr. Combo asked where the tallow came from ? Lawson replied that it was sent direct from Russia, but through P russ i an merchants for English trade. The firm in this country bad connexions in Russia at the pre sent time, and large dealings 'were daily taking place between them. The tallow i7na epseriocnwstvas very dear at present, being at the rate of A gentleman who attended from Messrs.

"On the 17th I stood along the Spit to see if any more boats or nets could be found along the shore where I 'could destroy them, as also to drive away a number of troops I saw hidden behind some banks, and at the same time to try and set fire with carcases to a number of new stores built on the broad part of the Spit, high up, but too far off for me with my small force to attempt to land and destroy. "I could see no more boats, but their perseverance in thus rebuilding these honseii, boats, and nets, with the fact of so many troops being there to protect them, tells its own tale—that they must be much in want of provi sions—l have, &c., " GEO. F. DAY, Lieut.-Commander. " Capt. Osborn, Senior Officer." ( From the Slipplempet to the London Gazette;of TuesdaN Nov. 20.) ADMIRALTY, Nov. 20. Despatches, of which the following are copies, have been received from Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, G.C.B , Commander-in-Chief of her Ma jesty's ships and vessels in the Mediterranean and Black Sea : " Royal Albert, off Sebastopol, Nov. G. "Sir,—The accompanying copy of a letter from Capt. Sherard Osborn, of the Vesuvius, with its several enclo sures, will place the Lords Commissioners of the Admi x alty in possession of a detailed account of the active and energetic proceedings of the squadron in the Sea of A soff, under the command of that valuable officer. " The enterprise, which was undertaken and so suc cessfully carried out by Commander J. E. Commerell, of the Weser, in crossing the Isthmus of Arabat, and in destroying a large quantity of forage on the Crimean: shore of the Sivash, zeftects great credit on that officer, and adds still further proof of his having deserved that promotion which their Lordships have lately been pleased to confer upon him. The gallantry of William Rickard, Quartermaster of the Weser, deserves to be particularly mentioned ; and I beg leave to recommend him to their Lordships' favourable consideration for the medal and gratuity for distinguished service. "Lieutenant George F. Day, commanding the Re cruit, has also displayed his usual activity and zeal in harassing the enemy on the north-east coast of the Sea of Azoff ; and I regret to find that his foot has been severely injured by the recoil of a gun.—l am, &c., " EDMUND LYONS, "Rear-Admiral and Commander•in-Chief. " To the Secretary of the Admiralty." In consideration of the services mentioned in the above despatches— " Her Majesty's ship Vesuvius, at Sea, Oct. 25. " Sir,—l am now returning westward towards Genit chi, having been employed with her Majesty's ships named in the margin* since the 9th of October, 1855, along the north coast of this sea as far as Taganrog. "On Crooked Spit, as well as Bielosarai or White house Spit, the enemy had established a large force in the remains of the old fishing establishments, and con structed a series of rifle pits and breastworks, from which they opened fire upon any of our vessels taking shelter under those points ; and as the enemy had a number of boats with them, with which they could easily board a. vessel in distress, I thought it right to destroy the latter and dislodge the men. "The Recruit, Lieut. George F. Day, came in colli sion with them on the 15th inst., and although he could not dislodge the riflemen he succeeded in destroying seven launches and five large fi•heries, in spite of the enemy's cavalry and infantry. "Lieutenant Day, I am sorry to say, received a se vere injury of the foot, by the accidental explosion of an 8-inch gun, but he speaks in high terms of the satisfac tory manner in which Mr. W. Parker, second master of the Recruit, executed the service entrusted to him. " On the 20th of October the Ardent, Lieut. H. Cam pion, drove in a large force of cavalry, which attempted to prevent him approaching Crooked or Krivaia Spit, and he likewise destroyed three boats. " On the 24th of October the weather was sufficiently favourable to enable me to get the Vesuvius closeenough to force the enemy from their rifle-pits upon the Bielo sarai Spit. At 1 p.m. the small-arm men and marines of this ship lauded, under Lieut. Chetham, H. Strode, Mr. R. R. Armst•ong, mate, and Mr. H. D. R. Farquhar son, midshipman, supported by the ship and boats. " Directly the enemy saw their escape threatened, they beat a rapid retreat, though fully 150 in number, and effected their escape by a superior knowledge of the paths through the swamps. " Lieutenant Strode then destroyed their posts, which had been recently reconstructed ; they were eight in num ber, and calculated to house 200 men ; besides these, 11 fine boats and an extensive fishery were set fire to, near the town of Alti. Lieut. George Fiott Day has been promoted to the rank of Commander ; Mr. William H. Parker will be promoted to the rank of Master, so soon as he shall be qualified ; and A medal and 151. gratuity, for conspicuous gallantry, have been awarded to William Rickard, Quartermaster of her Majesty's ship Weser.

" The extraordinary efforts made by the enemy to pro secute their fisheries upon this coast are the best proof of their importance. "They sometimes move down 200 or 300 soldiers, who escort large launches placed upon carriages and arabas, drawn by oxen, laden with nets and gear, as well as fishermen to work them. NOTICE TO MARINERS. NORWAY.-LIGHTS ON THE SOUTH-WEST COAST. The Royal Norwegian Marine Department at Christi ania has given a preliminary notice that, towards the end of this year, the following coast and channel lights will bo established on the south-west coast of Norway :- 1. A. coast light on Vibber point by the southern pas sage to Egersund. 2. A coast light on Grundsundholm by the northern passage to Egersund. 3. A channel light on Little Blegon near Langevagg. 4. A channel light on Midtholm near Moster harbour. 5. A channel light on Folgeroon. These three last named lights serving as guides for the passage on the east side of Bommel and &foster islands. "The fish directly they are caught are carted off into the interior ; and when it is remembered that we have destroyed some 100 and odd launches upon one spit alone, some idea can be formed of the immense quantity of fish consumed on this coast ; and, in proof of iti being a large item in the sustenance of Russian soldiers, I would remind you that hundreds of tons of salted and dried fish were found and destroyed by us in the first destruction of the military depots at Genitcki in May last. 6. A channel light on the west side of Leeroen in the passage between Great Sartor and Leer islands. Special notice of the lighting of all these Lights will shortly be issued.

"Captain, and Senior Officer in the Sea of Azoff. • " Rear-Adiniral Sir E. Lyons, Bart., &c., G.C.8." "Her Majesty's steam gun-vessel Weser, Genitchi, Oct. 12. "Sir, —I have the honour to inform you that on the evening of the 10th inst. I determined, in obedience to your discretionary orders, to launch a boat across the Spit of Arabat and destroy large quantities of corn and forage stored on the banks of the Kara-Su and Salghir Rivers, off the Crimean shore of the Sivash. The proxi mity of a guard-house and signal-station, also the dis tance the corn lay from the beach, rendered anything but a night surprise impracticable. "Having left the Weser in charge of Mr. Haswell, second master, and accompanied by Mr. Lillingston, mate, a quartermaster, and two seamen, assisted by a party, we hauled a small prize -boat across the Spit, embarked in her, and at half past 4 a.m. reached the opposite side. "Landing with the petty officer and one man. I forded the a bove-mentioned rivers, and at a distance of about two miles and a half from the boat arrived at the corn and forage we were in search of, staked on the banks of the Salghir river, evidently for transmission by water, as the river was perfectly navigable for barges, the sides being cut, and towing paths on either bank. " In a short time the forage and corn, amounting to about 400 tons, were totally destroyed, not, however, without alarming the guard, and from 20 to 30 Cossacks, who were encamped in a village close at hand. On our retreating ib e i ng rcumstance we were so hard pressed by th em th a t, b u t for of the last 200 yards mud, an the dthe c cov er of rifles from Mr. Lilli ngs t on and a man who remained in the boat, we could hardly have escaped capture, saving recrossed the Spit, we returned to the Weser by 8 a.m. "I must bring to your notice the excellent behaviour of the small party who accompanied me, more especially that of William Rickard, quartermaster, who, though much fatigued himself, remained to assist the other sea man who, from exhaustion, had fallen in the mud, and was unable to extricate himself, notwithstanding the enemy were keeping up a heavy fire on us, at the dis tance of 30 to 40 yards, as we crossed the mud. " Trusting my proceedings will meet with your ap proval, I have, &c., J. E. COMKERELL, Lieutenant-Commanding. " Captain Sherard Osborn, Senior Officer." " Her Majesty's ship Recruit, off Berdiansk'Oct. Oct 18. " Sir, —I have the honour to forward you a report of my proceedings since leaving her Majesty's ship Curlew at this place on the 15 th. According to my orders, I steered for my cruising ground between the Dolga Bank and Whitehouse Spit. When off the latter place, ob serving a number of men and boats engaged in fishing, and also that many large fishi n g storehouses had been built since my last visit here on the 14th of last month, I hauled close in to the shore, anchoring the Recruit about 700 yards off, with the intention of landing with my boats and destroying all I could, as soon as I had driven back the troops, who were coming down in great numbers, both cavalry and infantry, to pre. vent us the former we soon disposed of, but the latter, scattering themselves about in twos and thre e s, threw themselves on the grou nd, creeping along so that we could not sae them to stop their advance with onr shells from the ship ; I therefore resolved to land at once, in hopes, by the quickness of our movements, to get our work over before they could possibly close on us. Unfortunately for me, I regret to say that while di recting the point of an 8-inch gun to where I believed some of these riflemen to be (just as I was on the point of going to land), the gun, from some unaccountable cause, went off, and, in recoiling, the whole weight of both gun and carriage came down on my left foot, in juring it very severely, and breaking several bones, which I fear will lay me up for tiome time. " I was thus rendered incapable of landing, so sent Mr. Parker, second master of this ship, on shore in charge of the boats and landing party, who succeeded in carrying out my instructions as to the destruction of all the boats there (seven in number), many new fishing nets of great length, five large new fishing establish ments, full of fishirg tackle and other gear. This ser vice he performed in a most gallant manner, and much to my satisfaction, as they were the whole time exposed to a very smart and annoying fire from the enemy's con cealed infantry (at a very short distance), who in spite of our fire from the ship, had managed to creep down close to them, favoured by the inequality of the ground and the long grass, so that our party bad to make a long detour (covered by a hot fire of rifles from the Re cruit), to prevent them being cut off, and to get to their boats. The Russians kept up a constant fire of rifles from the lighthouse in which they bad succeeded in lodging them selves, upon the boats, and then on the ship, which we re tutted with rifles only, and I think to some purpose, until we weighed and shifted further out. Not a man was hit, though ship and boat were many times.

LAUNCH OF THE SHANNON. The new screw-frigate Shannon, 51 guns, is to be launched in Portsmouth dockyard on Saturday next, at 11 o'clock. She will be the largest frigate in the world, upwards of 2,600 tons burden. TRIAL OF A NEW LIFE-BOAT. A. very successful trial of the qualities of Mr. T. C. Clarkson 's (of High-street, Wapping) patent cork life boat was made yesterday morning in Portsmouth dock yard. She is constructed of alternate layers of sheet cork, canvas, and thin wood, adhered by adhesive sub stances, which give elasticity, with greater strength than ordinary wood. She was launched from the dockyard wall into the harbour, having on board the inventor and four others, volunteers from the ships in the port. The height of the wall from the water was ten feet perpen dicular, and being plunges from the edge of the wall without anything to guide her or keep her upright, she entered the water safely, soon righting herself, from her buoyant qualities, and not having shipped much water. She was then capsized, but immediately regained her proper position ; and in two or three other trials of placing her on her beam ends, she appeared to possess so great an amount of buoyancy as to render upsetting almost impossible. There were also a number of con trivances displayed for clearing her of water in the event of shipping a sea. By taking portions of her to pieces a raft was formed capable of buoying up 10 to 15 persons. Altogether, in cases of emergency, this boat and her fit tings was represented to be able to support 200 persons, though •nly 27 feet long, and 7 feet 6 inohes beam. The experiments were highly interesting. -, Cr• - • Another body of volunteers arrived at Woolwich on Monday from the Militia. They were to the number of 52, all volunteers from the Lancashire Militia Artillery at Northfort, Liverpool, for the Royal Regiment of Artillery, and appeared to be a fine set of young men, well adapted to the Artillery service. Captain Hill, 75th Regiment, has been qualified as an instructor in musketry, and is to hold himself in readi ness for immediate embarkation for India, in charge of 19 non-commissioned officers and soldiers belonging to the Indian depots, who have gone through a course of instruction at Hythe. The Board of East India Direc tors have decided that the mode of instruction pursued at Hythe shall be adopted throughout the Indian army. Captain William Nott, 83d, and Lieutenant Wm. H. Ballingall, 35th Regiments, having qualified themselves at the School of Musketry at Hythe, have been ap pointed instructors to the Provisional Battalion, Chat ham, under the command of Ccl. Henry Jervois. Two depots are kept off duty for instruction in the Enfield Rifles, all officers belonging to such depots being re quired to attend. A detachment who recently volun teered to the 19th have marched to their depot, Walmer, having become expert marksmen. The necessary arrangements have just been made for the erection of a monument to the late distinguished General Sir Walter Raleigh Gilbert, Bart. The site selected is the Beacon at Bodmin, and it will consist of an obelisk of granite, 144 feet in height from the sur face of the ground. THE MONSTER MORTAR.—We have every reason to be:ieve that the difficulties experienced in constructing a monster gun or mortar are likely to be overcome through the genius and skill of our scientific countryman, Mr. Robert Mallet. The attempt to weld together longi tudinal bars, so as to form a cylinder, failed in the hands of one of the ablest English engineers, from the circum stance that the long-continued high temperature main tained during the process of welding produced a ten dency to crystallisation, and, therefore, was destructive of that fibrous structure essential to the strength of iron for artillery purposes. In Mr. Mallet's mortar the cylinder is formed by a series of fiat rings, fitting in one onother by flan g es, n d clamped to g ether by stron g es ternal bolts. The force exerted by the explosive gas is chiefly lateral, and not longitudinal ; that is, it has a tendency to burst the cylinder in a direction at right angles to its axis, and only a small force comparatively to separate these rings in a direction parallel to the axis. We understand that one of these mortars has been com pleted at Millwa,ll, and the shell already cast. The di mensions are startling. Instead of the 13 inch shell (the largest hitherto) weighing about 2001 b., and carrying 30 pounds of powder inside, we are to have a shell of 36 inches diameter, weighing about 2,4001 b., and charged with half a ton of gunpowder. The range will be about half as far again as that of the 13 inch mortar. Hence a dozen such shells would have left Sebastopol in ruins.— Dublin Daily Expresa. "DRUMMING OUT THREE OFFICERS."—Three officers of the 3d Regiment of Light Infantry of the German Legion deserted, and were subsequently apprehended while endeavouring to make their escape from this country—two of them intending to start for America, and the other for Rotterdam. A. charge of embezzle ment was also laid agiinst one of the delinquents—the sum of 601., which had been entrusted to him for the purpose of paying the men, was applied to his own use. The names of the officers were Lieutenant Rotzol, En sign von Woyna, and Ensign von Prondzinski, and shortly after their apprehen-ion they were reconveyed to Shorncliffe, where a court-martial was held yesterday week, and they were sentenced to be degraded and dis missed the service. The troops were immediately pa raded, and after being formed into a hollow square, the " officers " were brought out under guard and placed in the centre. They were rhea addressed by General Stut terheim, who pointed out to them in strong terms the disgrace they had brought upon themselves and thei: comrades.' The usual forms of degradation, the tearing up of the commissions, &c., were then gone through, and the prisoners were marched off the ground. Only one of them had retained his sword, which was broken in due form.—South-Eastern Gazette. THE MATFEN MURDER.-COMMITTAL OF THE PRISONERS. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, Nov. 20.—The adjourned in• quest on the body of Dorothy Berwicke, the old woman who was barbarously murdered at Waterloo, near Mat fen, Northumberland, on the 21st ult., was brought to a close yesterday, when the prisoners, James Conroy, Michael Allan, caias Anderson, and John Simm, toge ther with Conroy's wife, and three other women, the mothers and sisters of Michael Anderson, were fully committed for trial at the assizes. It appears from the evidence that all these persons were together at West Harle, a village six or seven miles from the scene of the murder, on the previous night, and that they occupied a barn in that village. After the murder was discover( d suspicion fell upon them as the perpetrators, and a dili gent search was instituted. A hazel stick, with a ham mer head attached, and a stick of mountain ash, were found in the house of deceased. They were newly cut ; and the male prisoners, who are besom makers, and go about with carts, having been cutting sticks from some trees in a neighbouring wood, the sticks so found in the house of deceased were compared with the trees from which cuttings had been made, and were found to cor respond. Conroy's residence was at Waterloo, and the door of his neighbour's house was found tied with a rope on the morning when the murder must have been com mitted, evidently to prevent his leaving the house, and obtaining a knowledge of the horrid deed that was being committed. On searching the barn at West Hark, where the prisoners were supposed to have slept, a halter was discovered, which was first claimed by "Tibby" (Anderson's mother), but Conroy's wife in sisted it was hers, and then Tibby Anderson said hers was left at Conroy's house ; but on searching the house no halter could be found, which induced the suspicion that the missing halter was no other than the rope used for tying the neighbour's door. A leather strap had been used by the murderers for confining the arms of the de ceased while they strangled her. A few days before the murder, Michael Anderson was seen to fasten his stock ing with a leather strap similar to that found on the arms of the deceased ; and when the prisoners were taken no leather strap could be foand upon any of them. Another suspicious - circumstance was the finding of three silver Spoons belonging to the deceased, marked " W. B." They were found in a field adjoining the road leading from Waterloo to Matfen. Some days before this discovery, and after the murder the female prisoners were seen sitting under the hedge side, near to where the spoons were afterwards found. On the 2d instant Joseph Mundy, the station master at the Crampington station on the North Eastern Railway, happened to be at a public-house near the station, where he met with Tibby Anderson and another of the females who were not then in custody. The old woman made a most ex traordinary statement respecting the murder, the object of which was to exculpate the men in custody, and fix it upon some other person, but showing at the same time that she was intimately acquainted with all the circum stances. This woman, it appears, when the party was at West Hark, borrowed a candle and some lucifer matches from one Patrick O'Callaghan. The body of the deceased was disfigured with droppings of candle grease, and matches, which appeared to have been ignited, were t fo h u e nd ini o lk n .h t o le u e se flo o o f r d o e f . the p ceased a r, .rlo T u he t p h r e was and osing f t r h o e m m w to have estll be arie en du g r u i i n l e tyof the m the night, udr, must a r n e dretur have nedthi o t o h m er e . It has not been ascertained whether the prisoners slept in the barn. * Curlew, Recruit, hadent, PARTNERSHIPS DISSOLVED. W. N. and S. R. Cook, Princes-street, Leicester-square, brush-makers - C.

The attendance to-day was considerably over the average at this time of the year ; betting, however, with the exception of the 100 to 1 offers for the Chester Cup, was confined to the Derby and Two Thousand Guinea Stakes, and even upon those events it was very limited. For the Derby 400 to 50 was taken twice about Fly-by- Night, that price being obtainable up to the close. In one instance 400 to 50 was laid agst Fly-by-Nigilt and Van Dunk coupled, and an offer made t!) lay no to 50 agst any two-7 to 2 was offered agst Fly-by-Night for the Two Thousand Guinea Stake!, and 5 to 1 taken rather freely about Porto Rico-9 to 1 would have been taken about Milton.

LIVERPOOL PRESS ASSOCIATION.-At a meeting of the representatives of the local press, on Saturday even ing, at the Clarendon Rooms, Mr. Baker of the Liverpool Mail, occupying the chair, it was resolved to establish a society, under the above designation, the object of which should be to cultivate mutual good feeling and cordial action amongst those engaged in the literary depart ments of the press of this town, by bringing them into contact with each other at social and other meetings to be held periodically. By the interchange of friendly feelings, which would thus be created, and by pro• moting objects .of interest, to the profession generally, the promoters of the society believe that much advan- tage would be derived, while from its corporate character the association is expected to attain an influence which, rightly directed, may be productive of the most laver- taut and beneficial reoults.—.l4ol3o4 Country Markets. LIVERPOOL—Noy. 20. A fair demand was experienced for all descriptions of old and dry new wheat, at last week's prices. No change also as regards either sack or barrel flour.

Barley met a very free sale, and although we observed an increased supply it was cleared off, and fully 2s to 3s per qr. more money paid. Other grain equally high. PER QUARTER.I PER (117ARTIr.
