310 BEY - _ 31A RKE T AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. ,Arrl, Two O'CLOCK. The Liverpool cotton market yesterday closed very heavily, but not more so than on Wednes day. Compared with Friday's rates, prices of all kinds were id. per lb. down. The sales Were estimated at 6,000 bales, and consisted of 150 Egyptian, at 51d. to 9d. ; 1,000 Surat, at 3id. to •; 40 Sea Islands, at 14d. to 20d. (700 Surat export). The total sales since Thursday have been 32,000 bales-4,000 for export, and 1,000 on Speculation. The Railway Share Market has been inactive, and there was a perceptible decline. In a few of the principal articles of Colonial pro duce rather a large business has been done, owing to some disposition being shown on the part of holders to press sales, and the prices of most staples have been affected by the unsettled state of mone tary affairs. British Plantation Sugar has been rather cheaper, and a decided decline would have attended forced sales, while some kinds of Mauritius Were 6d. to Is. per cwt. cheaper. Native Ceylon coffee has receded 6d. per cwt., and Plantation has not undergone much change. Cocoa has ruled steady, 4nd rice 3d. per cwt. lower. Spices have been rather active, and pimento and pepper have not maintained their value, but nutmegs have risen ld. to 2d. Rum has been in request at fuller cur rencies, but of tea the public sales progressed with out any feature of importance, former prices being obtained. Saltpetre has rather tended downwards, and the purchases have been limited, but tallow has been dearer. At the public sales of indigo lower pric es have been realised for ord. Oudes and ~ Madras, but desirable kinds of Kurpahs have been firm. From Liverpool Messrs. Houghton and Levy Write of the fruit trade as follows :- 4c : Our market during the past month has been very thing and prices have had an upward tendency, every ii_ug On offer being freely taken at an advance of os. to '• per cwt. Within the last few days the demand h as rather slackened, and prices are not quite so firm ; r, with th e exception of the new fruit, there is t he to o p era t e i n . The first cargo at this port of ,Th „ e now crop, consisting of about NO tons, arrived let. The quality of the Cephalonia is scarcely e q os l to last year's. The stock of other descriptions is nom reduced to some small lots held by the dealers, so that the Consumption must entirely fall on the new fruit, and 1 0 _ quantity being limited holders are not disposed to wer their pretensions. r a large business has been done in all descriptions of ther e at advancing rates. Valencias opened at 43 5. ; were, however sellers to arrive as low as 39 5. ; a speculative move then sprung up in London, and prices r a pidly advanced until 445. was paid. It is difficult to kn _ cy what to att r ibute this move to as the crop is reported unusually large. The excitement has, however, somewhat abated, fifteen cargoes having been reported yesterday as arrived in London, and that market quiet and lower." A general decline has occurred this week in united States Railway Bonds, the nearest prices, 43 given by Messrs. Bell and Co., being these : GOVERNMENT SECURITIES• Redeemable. Per Cent.

The requirement of silver for India and China is moderated, and there is less gold being shipped to the Continent. The English Stock Market has been mainly in fluenced by the state of the account, this being the d ay when the delivery of Consols sold ..!_ since the last settlement has to be made. The quotations are fully A per cent. higher than the y left off yesterday, and the enormous spe culative sales recently would probably have occasioned a still more decided rally, but that the bankers have also parted with stock, having, tem porarily, made profitable employment for their capital. The " contango" has been about 1, though at one time yesterday afternoon, it was fully 5-16 Per cent. For present delivery the quotations have been 87 to 871, and for November 8 from 871 AI up to 8 7i I. The discount upon Exchequer Bills has been as much as 3s. to Bs., as there is an inducement to effect an exchange of investments now the funded debt rules low. - East India Bonds have been ss. discount to par. Bank Stock is quiet 'at 207 to 209. The New 3 per Cents. are 8 1 to 87k-, and the Reduced 86i to Speculative •dealing in the Foreign Market is alm ost exclusively confined to Turkish Securities, Which have naturally benefitted by the improve nient in the Funds. To the New Scrip, however, this more particularly applies, the quotations hav ing ranged from 4' to 38 discount, being at the present moment about 31 discount, or nearly 1 per cent, above the prices at the official close yester day. The Old Six per Cents., which are rather quiet, have risen to 803. 4. Mexican Stock is 211, being firmer. French Scrip remains at par. Bel gian 41 per Cents. are 94 to /. Dutch 21 per Cents. 64, and the 4 per Cents. 931. Brazilian Small Bonds are marked 991. The following are the nominal prices of foreign s tocks:—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 18 to 20; Mexi can, 21 to:ag ; Peruvian, 71 to 73 ; ditto Three Per Cents., 52 to 54; Portuguese Four per Cents., 43 to 45 ; Russian Five per Cents., 95 to 98 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 85 to 88 ; Spanish New Deferred, 374 to 38 ; ditto Three per Cents., 19k to 198 ; ditto Certificates, 4i to 4-a; ditto Passive, 4 to 5. A notice has been sent out by the Austrian Con sols Mining Company informing the shareholders of what was done as far back as June last. That is early information ! The circular states : " The Committee of Management of the Australian Consols Gold and Copper Mines Company beg to acquaint their shareholders that they have received the resignation of their manager in Australia, at the time they were considering what course they were to pursue in consequence of not receiving from that gentleman such general information as they felt justified in expecting on his arrival at Segenhee. " The resignation was at once accepted, and steps taken (temporarily) to place the interest of the comp an y i n other hands. " Whilst discussing the appointment of a successor, the chairman of the committee of management, who h as a large pecuniary interest in, and who is well acquainted with all the details of, the company from its formation, Offered his services to go out and obtain by personal inspection and inquiry that information which the com mittee and the shareholders have so long desired to Possess ; this offer was gladly accepted, and that gen tleman left Liverpool, in June last, for Australia, in the Ben Nevis. "The committee have had many interviews with the gentlemen appointed at the last general meeting of share holders as a committee of conference to consult and ad 'Vise with them on the company's affairs, and they have expressed unqualified satisfaction with the above arrange ment. "The committee regret that they have had so long to try th e patience of the shareholders, and although they cannot hold out the same results which their early ar lAPgernents would have produced had there been no dif ficulty in the title, they are nevertheless sanguine that their interests must eventually assume as satisfactory a solidity as those of any other land company in Australia." Most of the English Railway Shares are at a de cided improvement, but this, however, has not excited dealing, the market continuing extremely quiet. In Midland, North-Western, South- Western, and others, the advance is about ss.:pei Share. Antwerp and Rottordanz are steady, but French lines are again nominal. The Banking and Mining shares are inactive, and the Miscel laneous likewise. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLO2 ( From► tke Oftcial List. Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities 3 per Cent.

BIRMINGHAM, Thursday.—The third of the series of the meetings of the ironmasters for the current quarter was held in the Town Hall here this afternoon. The at tendance was large, and a moderate amount •f business was done; but most of the principal buyers have already bought, so that the orders given to-day were not large. As was intimated in the report of the meeting at Wol verhampton yesterday, all idea of a further advance of prices has been abandoned, and the trade is steady with out being brisk. The pressure on the money market has mainly contributed to check the disposition to make fur ther advances, and the certainty that the rate of discount will be again advanced is sufficient to check anything ap proaching to speculation. For some descriptions of the commodity, as well as particular makes (rods in particu lar), the rise has been 30s. a ton ; but, with this excep tion, the rise on the various kinds of Staffordshire iron has been 1/. per ton on the prices of last quarter-day. Sheets are rather less in demand ; but to-day pigs were more inquired after, and the stocks in hand show that the conversion into manufactured iron goes on at a rapid rate. Shropshire makes are quoted as high as 51. 10s. to 51. 15s. a ton. The, tin plate trade is improving. Within the last few weeks there has sprung up a consi derable demand for this description of manufacture, and prices have advanced. Altogether the meeting to-day passed off satisfactorily. When the fact became known that the Bank directors had separated without advancing to 6 per cent., as was expected, it put the trade in better spirits ; and as the orders in hand are considerable, it is probable that the present range of prices will be steadily maintained. As regards the payment of accounts the meetings so far have passed off without complaint. 161 Bt. 3 20 10 St. .t. 50 MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) 1110 CORN EXCHANGE. A very moderate supply of English wheat has been re ceived up to our markets this week, coastwise and by land carriage. To-day the show of samples was small, never theless the demand for most kinds was xather inactive at Monday's currency. The imports of foreign wheat have been only 5,440 quar ters. We had a slow inquiry for most descriptions. Im porters, however, were firm, and the quotations were sup ported. Floating cargoes of grain were tolerably active. The suply of bade) was small, yet the demand for that grain was heavy at barely stationary prices. There was a good sale for malt at full quotations. The oat trade was firm, but no advance took place in prices. Beans, peas, and flour as on Monday. ARRIVALS IRIS WRNS. Barley. Malt. 1,040 1,460 Wheat. 1,75 0 20 20 10 10 Oats.

(Front the Journal des Debats of yesterday.) The corps-d'armee of Eupatoria constitutes, al though at a distance, the extreme left of the general system of the Allies. This corps menaces both the right of de Russians and the centre of their com munications with southern Russia, from which they obtain their supplies in the Crimea. Their army before Sebastopol maintains for the present its right at the northern forts, its centre in the fortifications of the Mackenzie heights, opposite the lower course of the Tchernaya, and its left on the heights above Tchorgoun, which are occupied by the Pied montese. But this left appears at present greatly menaced by the movements of the right wing of the Allies in the mountains of Baidar. The only elements of appreciation which we yet possess are the despatches of General Gortschakoff, the last of which is dated the 6th. He first of all spoke of engagements of the vanguard towards Urkoussa, or Ruilkacsta according to the maps, a village situ ated above Baidar, and said that our advanced posts had been repulsed by the Cossacks ; then he an nounced that that place remained in our power ; then that the allies had, on the 22d ult., an engage ment with his infantry and that they retired to wards Urkoussa ; and afterwards that the Allies, having come down from the mountains, had forced them selves a passage—an ingenious expression to dissi mulate some combat in which the Russians were driven from their position. Finally, under date the 4th, the Russian general announces that the allies were extending their operations from the mountains of Baidar to the valley of the Upper Belbek ; and according to another despatch of the same General, of the 6th, our troops had left the Upper Belbek. Thus then they had only gone so far to make a reconnaissance. But this sole indi cation denotes a marked progress of the allies on the left wing of the Russians to surround them. The Belbeck in fact flows at three or four leagues to the rear of Mackenzie. We do not know to what part of the valley of the Upper Belbek they went, but it may be supposed that it was to Karlou, opposite Foti Sala, because there exists there a road which crosses the mountains of Baidar to that village. It is even to be noted that from Foti Sala the road runs on the right bank of the Belbek, to join the high road from Sebastopol to Simpheropol at a place named Khutor-Traktir (the Inn farm). It is the road which the Tartars of the southern region were accustomed to take to reach Bakshi-Serai. As the Russians no doubt still occupy the village of Ai-Todor, at the rise of the Chouliou, which falls into the Tchernaya at Tchorgoun, and the village of Chamli-Ozembak, the allies will probably not attempt to establish themselves on the Upper Belbek before having driven the enemy from Ai- Todor and the other position—if that is to form part of the plan of Marshal Pelissier to prolong his right wing to the Belbek. General Gortschakoff lastly announces that the allies have removed their troops from their right, between Balaklava and the Tchernaya. This is very well explained by the movements which we have just described. The Russians will not attempt to advance in that di rection (where, by the way, there are reserves), because then they would expose themselves to bo taken in the rear by our right wing. However this may be, all the right wing of the army has taken possession of the mountainssituated between Baidar, the Chouliou, and the Belbek, on the ex treme left of the Russian army. It is even fortify ing itself in the most important passages, in arm ing redoubts on commanding positions, and is form ing roads to facilitate the arrival of provisions and ammunition. These measures seem to indicate that the army thinks of establishing itself during the bad season on the line from Sebastopol to the Upper Belbek. GEN. BEATSOIV'S BASELT-BAZOUKS.. The Presse d'Orient has a letter from the Darda nelles, dated the 28th of September, and containing the following details of the recent disturbance : "An Albanian Lieutenant of the Bashi-Bazouks made his way into the house of one of his comrades, Lieute nant in the Arab regiment, and attempted a gross out rage upon his wife. The Arab, informed of this, hastened home, and, in the fight that ensued, received a violent sabre cut on the shoulder. The police, on information received from the wounded man, commenced an active pursuit of the offender, who escaped and regained his camp. On Monday last he boldly re-appeared in the town, and walked about the market ; lie was recognised, and a soldier ordered him to follow him to the Gover nor's. The reply was a bullet through the thigh. Sur rounded by the guard, and summoned to give up his arms, he still resisted, and used his pistols ; fortunately they missed fire ; he was knocked down, bound, and taken to prison. Informed of this, Gen. Beatson COM plained to the Governor, Djdmal Pasha, of the manner in which the Lieutenant had been treated after his arrest. But, meanwhile, the Governor called together the consuls and the military Governor, and it was de cided in council, that in future any Bashi-Bazouk of the Turco-British cavalry who should enter the town armed should be disarmed, by force if necessary. The decision was approved by all present, and especially by Mr. Calvert, who is anxious that a corps in English pay should not prove a subject of discord with Turkey. The French Consul also strongly supported the measure, which was commu nicated to General Beatson, who made it known to the troops under his command. The Arabs received the order with submission, but the Albanians, already exas perated, showed symptoms of resistance. The town ap prehended an incursion of the Albanians, but General Beatson confined them all to quarters, and the night passed quietly. The inhabitants had nothing to fear — the authorities displayed imposing forces. Parties of Lancers were posted at all the issues, two batteries of artillery were in position opposite the camp, and infantry was massed upon the flank to protect the guns. The Military Governor, accompanied by the Civil Governor, commanded in person. At the same time the English war steamer Oberon stationed herself so as to sweep the road with grape, whilst the French at Nagara were ready to march to the assistance of the town, and the Lucifer got up her steam in case of need. Everybody expected an attack. The Turks of the Dardanelles armed them selves to support the Government. But the Bashi-Ba zouks busied themselves with the usual morning fatigue duty, and at noon began to go down into the town, with out arms, as quietly as if nothing bad happened. The c troops were withdrawn, and all was tranquil. General Beatson and all the English officers showed great calm ness, and contributed by their attitude to the preserva tion of peace in the camp. Now the Bashis come un. armed into town, and there is perfect tranquillity." THE CZAR AT ODESSA. A letter from Odessa, of the 29th ult., in the Oat Deutsche Post of Vienna, says :-- " The unexpected arrival, on the morning of the 25th, of the Emperor, accompanied by the Grand Dukes Michael and Nicholas, caused much astonishment to the public. All that is known is that the object of the journey of the Emperor is to secure the preservation of Nicolaieff, the centre of the maritime establishments of Russia in the Black Sea. That town, which 25 years ag o, was an insignificant place, now has: 4,988 houses, and 38,067 inhabitants. Its arsenal contains an enormous quantity of warlike stores, which have been accumulating there for the last ten years. Immediately after the arrival of the Emperor at Nicolaieff, M. Volokoff, the engineer at Odessa, was sent for by telegraph, and charged with the construction of 5 redoubts, which will surround the town, and on which 360 pieces of artillery will be mounted. There are also to be built, under the inspec tion of the Grand Duke Constantine, who has ordered a great number of workmen from Cronstadt for that purpose, 500 gun-boats, each of them to be m ounted with 2or 4 guns cf very large range. These guns have already arrived at Nicolaieff from the arsenal at Kiow. The armament of the Vitjas and Tiger, frigates, re cently built, has been completed, and the Emperor has The Grand Dukc expressed his satisfaction at them. Constantine left on the 27th for Sebastopol. He will, it is said, be accompanied on his return by General Gortscbakoff, in order to decide with the Emperor on the plan of campaign. It is reported that the Russian general intends to abandon the north side of Sebastopol, and to take up a strong position between Balaklayti, and Eupatoria, in order to defend the Crimes." iinglish ..

SIMPSON. (From a supplement to Tuesday's Gazette.) WAR DEPARTMENT, OCT. 11. Lord Panmure has this day received a despatch, and its enclosures, of N,ibich the following are copies, ad dressed to his lordship by General Simpson Sebastopol,. September 29. My Lord,—Since my last despatch the troops have been employed, to the number of 9,500 men, daily, in making the road from Balaklava to the camp ; and as, after a few hours of rain the whole distance is converted into a mass of deep mud, the work that has to be per formed, from this reason as well as the great distance that the stones have to be transported, render it one of great labour and difficulty. Large fatigue parties are daily employed i n th e t own , dismantling and conveying timber and other materials from the ruins of the buildings, and I hope, by this means, to get a considerable portion of the troops under cover previous to the commencement of bad weather. The enemy have been firing from the batteries on the north side at the working parties in the town, and, although causing some little annoyance, they have not prevented the work being carried on, and, I am happy to add, that one man killed and one wounded are the only casualties occasioned by their fire. I regret to have to report to your lordship that owing to the explosion of a Russian magazine on the 27th inst. one officer and 19 men were wounded. I ordered an in vestigation to be made, and, from the report I have re ceived, the origin was from the explosion of a hidden fougass, a number of which have been dug up in various parts of the town and batteries. - The invention of this machine is peculiarly Russian. I have received a letter from Lieutenant• Colonel Ready, 71st Regiment, commanding her Majesty's troops at Yenikale, reporting the proceedings of a trifling affair, in which a detachment of the 10th Hussars, in com pany with the Chasseurs d'Afrique, were engaged on the 21st instant with the Cossacks. Colonel D'Osmont, commanding the French troops at Kertch received information that the Cossacks were col lecting and driving away all the arabas from the neigh bourhood, and, as he determined to endeavour to pre vent this, he invited the assistance of the English ca valry to co-operate with the Chasseurs d'Afrique. For this service Lieut.-Colonel Ready ordered two troops, commanded by Captains the Hon. F. Fitzclarence and Clarke, of the 10th Hussars. The Cossacks were supposed to have assembled their arabas at two villages, named Koss-Serai Min and Seit Ali, equidistant from Kertch about 15 miles, and from one another 61. Captain Fitz Clarence's troop was or dered to the first village, and Captain Clarke's to the latter. At each of these villages they were to join a troop of the Chasseurs d'Afrique who bad preceded them. On arriving at Koss-Serai Min Captain Fitz Clarence found both troops of the French Dragoons, and immediately sent off an order to Captain Clarke to join him that night ; the letter was unfortunately not delivered until the fol lowing morning. In complying with this order, Cap tain Clarke, whose troop consisted only of 34 men, fell in with a body of about 50 Cossacks, which he im mediately charged and pursued, but as they were soon reinforced by upwards of 300 he was forced to retire upon the village, with a loss of his sergeant major, far rier, and 13 men taken prisoners. Captain Fitz Clarence's troop, with the Chasseurs, the whole under the 'command of the Officer commanding the French troops, having seen a large body of the enemy, skirmished with them at some distance, and moved in the direction of the village of Serai Min, where, after having joined Captain Clarke's troop, the whole force commenced their march upon Kertch. At about the distance of half a mile from the village they were attacked by a large body of Cossacks, who were, however, beaten back by repeated charges. The loss of the 10th Hussars consisted of— 2 Privates, supposed to have been killed. 1 Wounded. 1 Troop serjeant-major, 1 farrier, 13 men, 15 horses, missing. From information that has since been received, the Cossacks were supported, within a quarter of an hour's march, by eight squadrons of Hussars and eight guns. Colonel Ready informs rue that nothing could exceed the coolness and courage of the troops in the presence of such overwhelming numbers of the enemy, who were only kept at bay by their steady movements. .

ROYAL MAIL STE-4hf-PACKET COMPANY. [A portion of the following appeared in our impression of yesterday.] A general meeting of the proprietors of this company was held yesterday, at the London Tavern, Bishops. gate-street, Captain Shepherd, deputy chairman, in the absence of the chairman, presiding. The Secretary (Mr. E. CIIAPPELL) having read the notice convening the meeting, and the report of the directors, The CHAIRMAN moved its adoption, saying, that al- I , though the report was full and intelligible, it was as well he should refer more particularly to some of the points there alluded to. He found, on comparison with the pre vious half-year's receipts, that the decrease in the receipts arose from the following items :—The outward trade, the inter-colonial trade, the homeward trade, the inter eolonial passage money, and homeward passage money. The decrease amounted, on the outward trade, to 1,1401. ; the inter-colonial trade, 1,552/. ; the home ward trade, 4211. ; inter-colonial passage money, 6,4201. The latter amount was a very large one, but it arose from the completion of the Panama Rail way, during the construction of which numbers of labourers were forwarded there by the company's ships. The homeward passage money showed a decrease of 3,1201., which was to be attributed in some measure to the pressing demand for ships for the transport ser vice, which prevented one voyage to the West Indies, and another to Brazil from being performed. The di rectors in their report alluded to the earnings of tee fleet, and the large increase in the cost of repairs. The latter arose from the heavy nature of the transport work in the Black Sea. It frequently occurred that these ships had to tow three or four ships of 1,000 tons each at one time in bad weather, and in some instances as many as seven ships at a time. This work was very The trying for ships employing great steam power. ships in the West Indies had in consequence of the de mand for ships in the Black Sea been overworkeyd i nd hree it was not surprising they had broken down there.l a or four ships having been released from the .

Mr. HASELTINE complained of the accounts, which he considered required adjustment, and moved, as an amendment, that the report of the directors be not ap proved ot, that a bonus of 21. per share ought to be paid out of the earnings of the transports, and that the directors be requested to meet a committee of share holders for the purpose of adjusting the capital and the accounts. Mr. SUTTON seconded the amendment. Mr. MILLS and Admiral KELLEY also spoke on the policy of the directors and the position of the company with reference to capital and the state of the insurance fund. The CHAIRMAN, in reply, said that on the 30th June tho Company's debt wag 160,0001., and auggeoted that instead of the amendment being now pressed it should be withdrawn, and the shareholders wait till April, when a balance-sheet would be presented, showing the real state of the company's finances. The ACCOUNTANT said the above sum represented only the amount of cash overdrawn, and was not a balance of account. A SHAREHOLDER asked the Chairman whether the 401. balance on the 100/. shares had been made up by bor rowed money or out of revenue ? The CHAIRMAN said out of revenue. The Hon. Shareholder said it was a course different to that pursued by any company. He suggested the directors calling up their capital. The CHAIRMAN said, it must be recollected they bad absorbed their insurance and reserved funds, which it was necessary to replace. He would rather call up the capital than borrow money at 6 per cent. Mr. MASTERMAN asked Mr. Haseltine if he wished the 2/. bonus to be paid from the earnings of the transports ? Mr. HASELTINE—Yes. The earnings of the trans: ports amounted to 600,0001., and surely that mould give a profit of 30,0001. Mr. MasTEn3rAN said the earnings of the transports was but one item in the account that day presented to the shareholders. The surplus profit was 276,0001., out of which they had to take 1 43,0001. for current liabili ties, and put by 6 per cent. on the value of the fleet for 1853, and for the first half of the present year, when a net surplus for dividend would remain of only 46,000/. Mr. HASELTINE said he had no desire to embarrass the directors. All he wanted was a recognition of the prin. iple that the shareholders should be paid every half-year be profits earned on their money during that period, and that if the directors wanted money they should call up their capital, so that the shareholders might get an interest for their money, and not have to wait till the debt were paid before getting anything. The CHAIRMAN said the directors in their report con' ceded the principle asked for by Mr. Haseltine. The amendment was then put to the meeting and lost, 13 only voting for it. The original motion adopting the report, which declared a dividend of 21. per cent., was carried by a large majority. Thanks were voted to the chairman and directors, and the meeting separated. IVYLD'S MODEL OF SEBASTOPOL. ( From the Brighton Guardian of Wednesday. ) Mr. Wyld's maps of the Seat of War in the Baltic and Black Seas have been unrivalled. In this he had done good service to the public, for nothing could be more useful and interesting both to the statesman and to every individual in the nation at large than correct maps of those places where a struggle is being carried on whose equal in endurance, intensity, and importance is not recorded in history, where so much of the nation's hl )od has been poured out like water and where many a hero sleeps whose death has fallen like the shadow of desolation upon the hearts and homes of this country. Mr. Wyld has, however, succeeded in outdoing all his former efforts in catering fur the public gratification in this respect, for he has just brought Sebastopol to our very doors in his beautiful and unique Model of that grand historical place, which is now being exhibited in the Royal Pavilion. We have no hesitation in saying that no man who has not seen this model, or who has not been in the Crimea itself, can have anything approxi mating to a correct notion of the nature of the ground, the peculiarities of the fortified positions, and the gi gantic operations in which the allied armies have been engaged in the Tauric peninsular. For marvellous as have been the descriptions given by Russell, the great word-painter of the Times, of the battles, sieges, and the ♦arious other circumstances connected with the war, from the opening scene at the Alma to the taking of Sebastopol, there is one thing which the most brilliant pen will fail to do—in fact that in which the occupation of the pen ends and in which that of the sister art of the brush or the modeller begins—locality. And un less we can realise the place, its appearance, its posi tion, the direction of the assault, the relative situations, of the armies on both sides, more than half the interest of the most vivid description is lost. In this model we are presented with that which at once fills up the hiatus, and gives us a perfect scene of the war. Enteni i t ; the r :um the first otjeet we meet is tie narrow bay of Balaklava, with the high reeks jutting out at each side, like a mountain dividedi n two. Next we see the railway, which runs from the harbour to the English encampment, and we immediately understand its importance. We beholl the plain of Balaklava, where the cavalry fight took place—the only spot, as will be seen by the model, in which cavalry could at all manmuvre—and the fatal charge of the Light horse, on the FOM) day. At a glance we understand the position of the Inkerman, the hill where the fifty thousa❑d Rus sians crept up on the sanguinary although glorious sth of November ; the course of the Tcheruaya ; the bridge of Traktir which crosses it where V.. e Sardinians and Fiench repulsed the Russian attack on the 16th of Angust, driving them across that bridge. Without any effort of the imagination we have a palpable view of the trenches and parallels as they advanced towards the devoted town, and surely if slowly surrounding it with a circle of fire. The importance of the Malakhoff to either side we easily understand ; for it stood on a ris ing ground protecting the town against the French as sault. The Redan, it can be seen, was only a work minor to the Malakhoff; and the instant the latter was cap tured the other became untenable, for Sebastopol became untenable, the Malakhoff dominating the town and enabling its possessors without any trouble to cut off the Redan irom the town. Viewing the matter in this light and it can be viewed in no other—it becomes a matter of the gravest surprise how General Simpson could have per mitted his troops to attack the Redan at all. One of the chief features in this model is, that we can perfectly understand the nature of the soil through which the ap proaches had to be carried ; and from its rocky surface we can see what tremendous labourthere must have been in the trenches, and what slow work they must have been. We also get at the reason why the French were able to cars their approaches up to the very breast of the Mala khoffi only a few yards intervening, while the English were net able to carry their works nearer to the Redan than 200 yasels—namely, the rocky soil in the front of the latter, and the comparative absence of such an im pediment in the former. Never perhaps until now could those at home see through the depth and importance of the strategy adopted by Prince Menschikoff in sinking the ships at the mouth of the harbour to prevent our fleet from get ting beyond Fort Constantine ; for bad not this step been adopted the allied fleet would have been in com plete possession of the town, and would bare had nothing to overcome except the batteries at the mouth of the harbour, nhich, comparatively speaking, would not have been a very difficult task. We have a view of where the enemy crossed over on evacuating the South side to the North. In the north of Sebastopol on the height there is a tremendous for tress, arreel with the most powerful metal ; but appa rently the place is not suited to lodge a large army, and one w mid not be surprised, to argue from this fact, tat at the Russians were now retreating towards Perekop. We have only touched upon the salient points of this model ; indeed our writing about it more minutely could give no idea of Sebastopol compared to the living palpable features which are presented by the model itself. We should observe that the lecturer who explains the nature of the model and points out the several objects which it presents, gives an added interest to the exhibi tion by the scholarlike intelligence and accurate know ledge of all the events of the war which he brings to bear in his task ; and the visitor comes away with so vivid a picture of the whole place that he could make a drawing of it from memory.
