THOMAS CARLYLE ON IRISH POLITICS. The following is from the Liverpool Joarmal : Mr. Thomas Carlyle, the " Oracle of Chelsea," was pressed to take the chair at a farewell dinner, to be given in Londcn to Mr. Gavan Duffy, previous to that gentle man's departure for Australia. The following letter, addressed to Mr. James Hannay, the novelist, has been elicited, very characteristic of Mr. Carlyle and very complimentary to Mr. Duffy, as indeed is the fact that gentlemen of all parties and schools—witness Mr. Hannay, himself a thorough Tory—are joining in the dinner "Addiscipbe Farm, Croydon, sth Sept., 1355. "Dear Harinay.—Songs short time ago I received a circular, with E. Whitty's signature, on the same sub ject as your note, and was well pleased to learn that such a project was in agitation on behalf of Duffy—to which I wished all success very sincerely. though myself unable to take part in it. I have a real regard, and even affection for Duffy, whose fine, truthful intePect, and ardent humane character, were always recognisable to me, in the worst tumult of Irish confusions. His course, then, which I never could applaud for wis dom, nor rebuke without pity and respect, has all along seemed to me one of the most tragical—and surely it has been troublous enough, tumbling in the wake of that mons t er of Blarney, Big 0., and his " justice for Ireland" (the ugliest impostor ge nerated in my time), and, alas ! it ends in a sufficiently mournful manner, though in a man f ul and pathetic one, on my poor friend Duffy's part ! I would gladly go and testify these feelings on his behalf, wherever it might be useful or suitable ; but, on the other hand, I can per ceive this dinner will not be the place for me to do it ; but for others differently related to it than I, and who probably have somewhat other feelings to expe e , e . I n short, there are multifarious reasons admonishing ab• pence on my part—two reasons, were there no Other : Permanent wish to steer clear to windward of O'Con nellism, and of the anti-ditto, in all their branches ; an d , secondly, the misery I undergo in all public dinners' whatsoever.

TETE ST. :LEGER. The latest movetnents the Turf garket have cor. tf.buted !Min to : the stack , of • information which the public a'rtady possess respecting the reliable compe .titors for the St. Leger. One demonitratien was, however, made en Saturday; it has since been well sustained. Lord of the Isles - retreated undet the effect:of a powerful " latte.ry which was opened against him, and the discomT;uPe of hi iparrisaos seems cou.• plete. That he will recover his lost position is imPro liable, for Gpposition which he encountered carne from well-ini , irmed quarters, and was ste a dy and deter mined. The precise cause of the horse'sretrogression is nut exactly known ; but it is generally believed that the fears which were excited about his strait stilty.legis ha ve been realised, and that he has broken down. Under these circumstances,/ therefore, it would be useless to discuss the St. Leger pretensions of Lord of the Isles. 111-omened reports have been indu , triously circulated ,about Rifleman. The tactics of his party have been questioned and "intentions" brought under ,suspicion. The betting is, however, uninfluenced by these unfavour able rumours, whose only foundation is apparently in ill-nature and prejudice.. If they had any other origin their effect on the market would be a! - .'onoe perceived, for dismay would be rapidly sprea I through the ranks of his partisans, and Rifleman would, retrograde point by point in the betting: Ever since Iris elevation to the premiership he bass through good and through evil report maintained his position with significant steadiness, and the powerful reaction in favour of Oulston has not evi dently shaken the confidence of his supporters. In fur. mer communications I have set forth at length the soundness of Rifleman's pretensions, and on Thursday last I brought his chance into no " odious comparison" with that of Oulston. The betting has attested the truth of the remarks which I then made, and the result of the race seems likely to prove the soundness of the' opinions I expressed. I then stated, " Were I well on Oniston and Rifleman, I should await the issue of the encounter with no desponding expectations." Events have confirmed my partiality for these two horses, and I have no hesitation in stating my conviction that I deem the race virtually reduced to a match between them. Ou!ston will go to the post with all the advan fages of a DaneLury preparation, and itis % said that his condiiiimi Will lie "such' as' to in , irTfi - perusals With hope and . confidence. The pane will, it is expected, be tremendous, and fears are entertained of the effect which the hardness of the ground will produce upon Rifleman's legs, whilst the opponents of Oulston aver that the com petitors will go " such a duster" up the hill that the Danebury horse, who is reported " thickened in the wind," will. be completely "choked off." These fore bodings, however, lam not inclined to entertain. The comparative merit of Rifleman and Oulston has been so frequently discussed, and their performances are so we: According to the Russian Consul at San Francisco Sitka 1 3 / 4 9.;1 not been-abandonel RUSSians, OiVTllft' to .fr convefitiotrbbtween tho 11ud9on's Bay Company and the Itlissiaii ...4ducrican "Colnany, which was concluded at St. Pntersh urg and Lon . don, by the provisions of which this portion Gt. the Ittissiati possessions is exempted from hostilities. No hostile proceedings against the place were in tended. On arriving off the harbour the allied ships did not enter, but the Erglish and French Admirals with their suites embarked on beard the English steamer Brisk and entered the port.' They were waited upon by a boat from shore containing the Governor's secretary, who communicated the infor mation that, in accordance with the spirit of the treaty between England and their Government, no preparations for defencehad been deemed necessary, and that none bad been made. If the French Admiral think proper to assail the town no resist ance would be offered and they could only ask that they sh ou ld be taken on board the men-ofwar as prisoners, for if their defences against the hos tile Indians were destroyed, and the town burned the whole population, men, women, and children, would be at the mercy of the- savages, who sur rounded the place in such numbers that their de struction would be inevitable. Her Britannic Majesty's frigate Piqu m e, Captain Nicholson, had sa il e d f or t h e river Aoor, the Russian possessions in Asia, and thence for China.

Accounts from Vera Cruz to the 22d ult. report that Santa Anna left the city of Mexico on the Bth ult., signed his abdication at Perote, and pro ceeded to Vera Cruz, where he embarked on the 17th ult. for Havannah. He was escorted in his flight by 2,500 troops, but shortly after leaving th e capital one third of them revolted, killed several of the officers, and then joined the revoluti on i s t s; on ari lying at Vet-a Cruz another revolt broke out, but a single regiment continued faithful to their fallen chief, and the mutineers were vanquished and fled in confusion. • With reference to-the reconstruction, of the, Go v,trAm9ll44,4ipear: ,- however, ,that. the plan of.

" Scott's lot" makes no figure in the betting. Whether it will be represented by Grmeulus Eguriens or Marchioness, or by both those animals, it is some what difficult to determine. Report states that Grieculus is sound and well, but short of preparation, whilst Mar- chioness is, it is asserted,' dead amiss. The truth or falsity of these rumours I have hal no opportunity o discovering. Whichever animal John Scott starts shall not be slightingly regarded by A Fresh Man. Of the outside division, however, no animal appears to me so worthy of notice as Rotherham, who has, when least expected, displayed racing ability of a somewhat high order. He is a fine-looking horse, with splendid action, and may occupy a prominent place in the return of the race. Mr. James C. Thompson, Albany, had received an offer to assume the chief engineership of the Russian navy, and was at Washington making the necessary arrangements with the Russian Minister.

The cholera had abated at Nicaragua, but not until it had swept away nearly all the Government forces. The remainder of the troops had been centred at Grenada. The epidemic had also visited Leon, and the re volutionary army suffered much from its attacks. The Costa Ricans kept up a strict quarantine both by land and water. The best interests of Ni caragua are reported as in a very perilous position. The Accessory Transit Company had a party of armed men at Castillo, in order to watch Colonel Kinney's movements. It was reported that Gene rals Garidola and Lopez with 200 men from_ Guate mala had attacked Honduras and routed General Cabanas. It was also said that Colonel Kinney had made an attack on Rivas. The revolutionists from Leon had attacked Managua, but were re pulsed. Little trustworthy information is obtainable about the Cletnentina colt, who, however, is believed to be an animal of a superior stamp. Whether he will be allowed to start is not yet determined, as, Sir Roger de Coverley would say, much may be said on both sides of the ques tion, lam inclined to take Admiral Rous's views of the matter. The uncertainty, however, which at pre sent exists relative to the qualification of the Clemen tine colt compels me, whatever favourable opinion I might other /rise be inclined to entertain of the horse, to disregard his chance entirely and allow no consideration of it to affect the conclusion at which I have arrived as to the result of the race. Saucebox, Blooming Heather, and other outsiders, have pretensions too slender to require notice. Mr. Puff says that when critics agree their unanimity is wonderful. The same. remark applies with equal force to sporting writer; who have only with one exception pronounced judgment in favour of the " Squire's Horse," still, although lam compelled to record my preference for Greytown (rebuilt) was looking well, and all the sufferers by the late bombarment, from the Briti,h Vice-Consul downwards, were preparing to submit their claim for damages to Congress,. Colonel Walker had marched into Costa Rica, and after some negotiations gave up his arms to the authorities, who guaranteed him protection from the Nicaraguana ; however, in a short time after, the latter seized 20 of his men, when the Costa Ricans raised 1,500 soldiers, and sent a demand for their delivery.

ARRIVAL OF THE 56TH REGIMENT. The 11ighlanders having been countermanded from ,rench duty on Friday evening, and marched over to Kamara at 2 o'clock in the morning to support the Sar dinians, the Guards alone went to the trenches,' and con sequently the"Light'Diirision remained there 36:bours, instead of 24. The Guards had two casualties among the officers—Colonel Francis Seymour,' wounded, not seriously, and Captain Drummond shot through the lungs. .Elopes are entertained of saving th e l a tt er officer's life. ' The Highland Diviston came back to camp on Saturday, and returned' to Kamara at night, to re main there, as they expect, about a week. —The 56th' Regiment, about 800 strong, having arrived at Bala klava, were detained a day or two on board ship, until their destination should be decided upon. It had been intended to send them to Kertch ; on Saturday it was said they would go to Kamara ; but they have finally been annexed to the First Division. The army continues to get under arms before daybreak, cavalry and all. Yesterday the latter arm turned out 2,950 British sabres and lances, and, had needs been, 500 or 600 more could have been brought into the field. It is a pity that active employment cannot be found for this fine body of horsemen, who assuredly need but the opportunity nobly to distinguish themselves. • On the 18th, however. very few of our poor felines reached every thne far the desolating etorm of .the eneMy's fire having swept them down be fere they coup; cross the intervening space. - Reyund this - hedgerow of stakes rues the line ef earthworks whielt•connects the Redan with the Malak hoff hill ; and a short way higher up, as the eye.tracret the accent of the'elcpe, are seen the mixed gabions sled sandbags which, form the inner face of the parapets of the new French, trenches in front of the Mainelon. At first gleece the distance between the most advanced of , these saps and 'the Round Tower seems not more than 144 yards, hut it is in reality above a hundred, and that a space, too, of the most broken and difficult ground over which attacking troops could lave to move. Narrow also antis this belt of ground between the besieged and their assailants, the former have very boldly occupied a portion Of it with their sharpshooters, and from these deadli• marksmen the French suffer heavily. The Mamelor plais . ,upon their hiding places with grape and shell ; but uqer cover of the inequalities of the ground, and the additional shelter which they have managed to throw up"for •themselves, they hold out, and daily and nightly play havoc amongst our ally's gunners, both within the Biamelon itself and the battery in advance. The surface features of the ground in this direction have been so often described in your columns that I need not at present repeat the ske(ch ; with the aid of a glass th. whole clan be seen from far behind, say either our own Twenty-one Battery or the French Victoria Redoull with quite as great clearness as from this nearer and lest safe point of observation with the naked eye. This fifth parallel 'being the limit of our approach towards the town, one's optics can only be exercised from it througl the confined and rather unsafe outlet of a rifle loophole ; and even through this inconvenient opening the surve3 taken must be rapid and spasmodic enough if one woulo avoid courting Made compliments from the sharp. eyed and. watchful sportsmen some hundred and fift) yards ahead. These loopholes are small portholes, so to speak, through the upper portion of the parapet of about four inches square, and so distributed as to be rendered as far as possible indistinguishable from the accidental openings and inequalities between the sand-bags along the top. Narrow and concealed as they are, however, many a death-wound has been re. eeiyed through them, and along the sides' of not a few are to be seen traces of the leaden missiles froin the . enemy's picccF. Still, from these our rnen ke s ep up pretty co ns t ant fi re i nto the embrasures of the Redan, ant upon the lurking places of the riflemen in its front— protected as the former are by the thick network curtain of rope which hangs over each gun, it is rare, however, that a bullet can penetrate, unless it happens to enter through the very limited opening left for aiming the gun THE ORDER OF THE BATH. MONDAY NIGHT. The ceremony of the investiture of the Order of th. Bath came off to-day between 1 and 2 o'clock. Sir B Jones seas ill and unable to attend, and Lord Stratfor, de Redcliffe went to his quarters and invested him there L )rd Stratford, I think I mentioned in my last, ar rived here two days ago, accompanied by Lord Napier. M. Pisani, Mr. Moore, Mr. Brodie, Mr. Allison, and b 3 Dr. Tice, staff-surgeon, as medical attendant. Th. place where to-day's ceremony came off was a squar. court in front of General Simpson's quarters. One sid. of the court is formed by the long, low building occupie, by the English Commander-in-Chief, two others b 3 stables and outbuildings, while the fourth is open t, the downs. This square, • over which, a year ago Crimean pigs and poultry grunted and crowed, glittered to-day with British and French uniforms, gilding, and embroidery. At the entrance to the house a sort of tent was formed of flags. Above waved the standard of England, flanked by the British ensign and French tricolour, and by the Sar dinian and Turkish colours. The square of build ings sae lined by another of troops—detachments of Guards„ Rifles, Line, Artillery, Cavalry, and Naval Bri gade. From the side facing the house there extended a double tine of lancer sentries along a gentle slope, at the extremity of which guns were in readiness to fire the salute. Inside the square assembled a number of officers in full dress. Outside were other officers and a few civi lians, among whom some ladies' riding habits were to be observed. General Pelissier came in his carriage, with his staff, and other French generals were there. The corpulent person and dark complexion of the French commmader contrasted strikingly with General Simpson's tall, al ender figure and white hair. When all were assemb led the ceremony was proceeded with. Lord Stratford made a dignified speech, which acquired addi tional interest from the circumstances. He remarked on the innprecedented nature of the investiture, occur. ring, as it did, almost on the ground where the services had been rendered and the exploits achieved for which the honour was conferred, and almost under fire of the enemy's guns. As he spoke the words a loud boom from the batteries gave peculiar appropriateness to his expres sions and a dramatic interest to the scene. Sir Celli. Campbell and Sir Edmund Lyons each spoke a few words in reply. The troops presented arms, the band played " God save the Queen," the artiliery fired a Royal salute, and then the force assembled, which about 1, do° men, filed off, and the numerous groups of officers shortly left the ground. The pageant was favoured by a brilliant sunshine, tempered by a pleasant breeze, and could not have gone off better. OPENING OF BOYER'S KITCHEN. Later in the afternoon we had a spectacle of a dif ferent kind, but, in its humble way, of a not less int.). resting nature. Soyer, the Regenerator, now the camp cook par excellence, opened his kitchens on the esplanade in front of the Guards' camp. A row of huge iron boilers supplied each one its different soup or stew, con cocted entirely from the rations daily furnished to the troop. From the summit of a large marquee flutterer the French and English colours ; smaller, flags waved gaily over the enclosure, which -was formed by garland: of foliage. The guests, who were very numerous, pal- , due homage to the savoury cauldrons, the depth o' which alone saved them from speedy exhaustion. There was no denying the excellence of the cookery. Five o'clock is a hungry hour in the Crimea ; and I C3l. answer for it that few of the guests contented themselves with merely tasting. General Simpson smiled approba . tion of the skill of the French artiste, and General .Pe. lissier seemed highly to enjoy his countryman's potage. A great numbsr of persons were present. There were rice pudding and Cossack plumpudding (all rations), snug tents, with champagne, and the most crystalline of ice (not rations), and Soyer was voted, near. con., the worthy chef of the army in the Crimea. To speak seri ously, be will render real service if he teaches the sol dier, as I understand he proposes to do, to make the most of the very excellent materials new supplied to him, and which hitherto have unquestionably been more or less wasted through ignorance of a few of the simplest laws of the gastronomic science. inedglibourhood of the monastery of St. George ; but— I don't know whether from Change' of diet, or because they were already too far gone—many of them have died, and the two valleys, Fe sweet formerly, are now anything but sweet, ' fur the 'carcasses are leftlying about or thrown among the bushes without any Vultutes to . feast-taken them: .If one-remembers the host of those acavengers which infested us during the winter in thin part it seems strange, that there is not one seen now. Whether they have been d•rgusted .by the numbers o paid Tai tar and Croat scavengers enlisted by Vie allied armies, and feared to starve, or whether they found more choica morsels on the Russian side, where there may be likewise a good deal to excite their gluttony,_ or, lastly, whether they are driven away by the heat I can not tell. CAMP OP THE ALLIED ARMIES ON THE TCHERNATA, Aug. 2. We are still living in continual apprehension of a Rus sian attack, although uo More is heard of the day when it is to take place. As sailors at the signs of an immi nent storm make everything snug and shorten sail, so we draw in the more exposed posts, strengthen our pe .ition, bring up reserves, and try to provide for every emergency which might occur, PLAGUE IN SEBASTOPOL. Besides the reports current of approaching famine and actual drought in the Russian camp, there are others of the plague being in Sebastopol and of a mutiny having broken out, in consequence of which 100 men have been shot. I mention these as mere flying rumours, which I have been unable to trace to any trustworthy source. NEW BATTERIES. Our works on the left continue to advance. Several new batteries—one of 15 mortars--.—have been constructed in front of what were recently our most advanced posi- tions on that part of the line. The Greenhill Battery, lately so prominent, now appears retiring into the rear. There was a heavy firs before daybreak this morning. The Russians showed themselves outside the Redan, but it was too hot to hold, and they promptly retired, To day the batteries have been very quiet. FORAGING MOVEMENTS. Since the late attack the French detachment and waggon train, which had b een collecting the hay in the valley of Baidar, have been continually on the move, ac. cording to the reports which reached us of the enemy's movements. Whenever the pews came of an attack for the next day they fell back towards the valley of Va runtka, and occupied the wooded ridge which runs along from Buyuk Miskomia down to Kaiton, and which sepa rates this latter valley from that of Baidar. 'When again the rumour proved false they descended, and pushed forward reconnaissances to the heights towards Kolou louz and Markoul. These precautions became necessary on account of the large number of waggons and arabas which, having only the Woronzoff road to retire by, would run the risk of being captured should the Russians attack in force. Be sides the French have lately brought over great part of their cattle to these valleys, where the grass is still plentiful, while the neighbourhood of Sebastopol is quite scorched. Notwithstanding their late frequent begiras the cattle have very much improved by this change, and have lost that skeleton look which they shared formerly with their comrades confined to the THE ENGLISH CAVALIY. In consequence of the daily apprehension of an attack the English cavalry is regularly turning out every morn ing and coming down to the valley, as it was haunting the ground where its comrades fell, and watching an opportunity to revenge them. The disasters which be fell our cavalry last year have left no trace, and, Phoenix like, it has arisen more brilliant than ever from its ashes. The effect is imposing —perfect, one might -ay, if anything human could be called so. Horses and nen are in excellent condition—as fit for work as any cavalry can be. It would, however, not be at all de• eirable that this daily turn-out should continue. It has, :ndeed, the advantage of saving the turning out for iiarade, so that the horses rest after they back from the 'alley, except to go down for water ; but if those daily morning rides are to last, they will soon bring down the horses in condition, and then they would have some difficulty in facing a Crimean winter, even in good •tables. Thus last year I think it was chiefly this cir mmstance which was fatal to the horses. They had in Septemberand•Octoker harassing ,outpost duties to do, and yqu could see every day detachments of cavalry huntinrSly Cossicks to rig the ellernaya, so that the horses were in very inllifferent condition when the first rains began, and their weakened constitutions could uo more face hunger, wet, and cold. THE SARDINIANS. The Sardinians, who from the very beginning had seen encamped on this side, were only rarely seen about ...he British camp, and the intercourse was mostly con fined to a passing " bono," which seem 3 to have become the first universally received word in the cosmopolitan anguage which is forming itself out here. There was nuch more companionship between the French and Piedmontese, as many of the latter as well as Savoyards speak French, and because they were close neighbours in the Tchernaya. But from all one sees, now that they ire close to each other, the inability to express their feel ngs does not prevent the Highlanders and Piedmontese rom entertaining reciprocal feelings of good will, the leighbouring canteens furnishing the means of eloquence .4 both parties. Scarcely three days have passed since ;heir first acquaintance, and the copious mixture of red ;cats with grey ones must strike every eye. The Sardi ,ian bald, which is playing every evening on an open , pace in the centre of the Piedmontese camp, seems to ho he rendezvous where the first step is made. I don't snow whether it be by the law of contrasts, or from the roincidence that both are distinguished from the rest of heir respective armies by their peculiar dress, but it , earns to me that the most intimate intercourse exists 3etween the tiny Bersaglieri and the tall Highlanders. OMER PACRA. Omer Paella is expected every moment. Yesterday 'he horses were sent down again for him to Kamiesh. de will retain the command of the Turkish troops in Crimea, visit Yenikale and Eupatoria, and then go co Asia, taking with him a division from here. There is not much chance of his doing anything there this year ; ,he season is too far advanced, and in a month, or at nost six weeks, the campaigning season for that part Mill be over. He may, however, do much in re-organis ng the army during the winter. EXTRACTS FROM A LETTER FROM AN ENG. LISH OFFICER, PRISONER IN SEBASTOPOL, TO HIS BROTHER. • ----s~ AUGUST.—No description of mine could give you an adikii*te idea of the misery existing within this fort. Wlign our army was in the greatest distress last winter, ye were healthy and happy compared with what the Russian troops in Sebastopol have been since I was made ► prisoner, and, by all accounts, for months before. All ranks appear to see and feel that sooner or later the place must fall, and in private the officers say openly ;hat had there beiii 4 but one head instead of two direct ,ng the allied arnaies, Sebastopol would long ago have been in poneabion of the French and English. The )risoners are well cared for, particularly the t,ffi cers , b y the Russian authorities, and have little to complain of beyond loss of liberty. The scoundrels who deseited from our ranks to the enemy have long ago found out - heir rnistalce, I fancy. They are are greatly distrusted by their new friends, and kept in a sort of dishonourable surveillance, but looked very strictly after. One of them, A miscreant who deserted some time ago from one of the Highland regiments, had the insolence to speak to me the other day, and complain that he was "worse treated than the prisoners." He asked, " what would be his fate if Sebastopol fell into the hands of the allies ; would he be shot I" I replied, "certainly not ; that he would oe bung before the whole army,' and by the hands of the lowest Greek or Bulgarian that could be found in camp." It is surprising how well the Russians know every thing that goes on in our camp : there must be many ipies in our lines. The Russians speak of the bravery of our men, infantry and cavalry, as something perfectly marvellou , but they seem to think our troops are not well handled by the -erierals, and that we thus throw away our best chances. An artillery officer confcsNed to me the other day that in the open fiat!, with equal numbers, an English army would get the best of a fight, "unless," he added, "your superior officers let the whole affair be lost by want of arrangement and utter confusion." Nearly all the younger Russian officers, and many of the seniors, speak English perfectly well, so I can get on pretty well in spite of not knowing a word of French ; hut this is a weary life ; I often wish myself back in London, or even with the old depot at Cork or • ,Fermoy. • The Russian officers think we were insane to attack the Redan as well as the Malakoff. If the latter was taken, the former must have fallen ! but if the Malakoff had been held by the Russians, no troops in the world could have held the Redan. They say if the combined Ernes of the allies had "gone in for" the Malakoff on the famous 18th, Pelissier and Lord Raglan would have commanded within Sebastopol. But that chance has passed, I think. Carlton House, as known to many of our readers, occupied that portion of Waterloo-place which is south of Pall-mall. The name of the original architect, in the time of Queen Anne, is not known ; but the cele brated landscape gardener-architect Kent laid out the grounds when the property was in Lord Burlington's hands, between 1725 and 1732. These gardens ex tended along the south side of Pall-mall, and are said to have been in imitation of Pope's garden at Twickenham, with numerous bowers, grottoes, and terminal busts. Mr. Cunningham speaks of an engrav ing of them by Woollett. The property came into the possession of the father of George 111., and being as signed as the residence of the prince —afterwards George IV.—in 1783, great alterations were made under Hol land. In accordance with that system of waste in ex penditure on public works which prevails most in con nection with royal palaces, the costly fabric under notice was of very short duration. It 'was taken down in 1827. The riding-house and stables, however, remain. The main front of the house had a central portico and projecting ends, the walls being rusti cated, and the portico being partly recessed, and partly projecting, leaving a wide intercolumn in the flank for a carriage•drive under. This very desirable arrangement, however, involved an appearance of weak ness, and in spite of the grouping of internal columns. The columns haveobian used again at the National Gal lery, though dentidedl much of the decoration.-77te Builder. • [iIDVERTIS 7 .

Yr' MEDITATED ATTACK ON BALABLAVA. Although many here have been disposed to treat as idle rumour and even'to turn into ridicule the reports that the. Russians meditated an attack orl Bala:Maya, it would'aißear tbatthis danger has not beeuflisregarded, at head-quaiters, where information has doubtless been received on the subject. The Leander and Diamond frigates have been lying moored by a single cable, and Lieut. Fletcher, commanding the Triton war-steamer, has directions to be in readiness to get his steam up at brief notice, and tow thew out of Balaklava harbour to a position whence their guns would bear on the Marine Heights. A RUSSIAN "SURPRISE." It is unnecessary and inexpedient to detail the parti• culars of our own preparative measures ; but I may re mark that they are such as to leave small ground for fear that the enemy's attempt, if it be made, will turn out a " surprise " to any but themselves. If grape, canister, musket-balls, and bayonets can repel them, their ad vance will be short and their retreat rapid. The bridge of boats which they commenced throwing across the harbour last week is all but completed, and, from its breadth and apparent strength, will permit of the pas sage of the heaviest field artillery. Whatever may be the special purpose for wh:ch this structure is being put together, some important purpose it law, and the fact that it will be capable of greatly facilitating the move ments for some such attack as I have mentioned gives a strong degree of inferential proof to the Information received from our spies. We know, of course, that the main force of the enemy's moveable soldiery is at present on the north side, and, with the aid of this new bridge, fifteen or twenty thousand of these, with any number of heavy field guns, could be thrown into the town in less time than as many hundreds could be ferried over by the fsw steamers in the harbour ; whilst, should the attempt prove.a failure, a ready and safe means of retreat would be available for both men and materid. ANTICIPATIONS OF PEACE. Notwithstanding all these preparations for action, I repeat that people seem less confident, or, at any rate, talk less of that which two or three days ago every one declared to be imminent; and last evening some sari_ guine spirits, who doubtless, and with good reason, would prefer a day on the moors to a night in the trenches, were heard confidently to predict approaching peace. The Russians, they declared, could sustain the contest no longer, owing to the want of water and the difficulty of obtaining supplies; their final attempt had been made at the action of the 16tb, and, finding them selves totally repulsed with heavy loss at the point they had selected as offaring most chances of success, they Would not risk another attack, but would yield, treat for peace, make the necessary concessions, and in a couple of months the British army would go home again. The hopefulness of youth and a certain vivacity of imagina tion may doubtless qualify a man to produce rose-tinted sketches of this kind, and there certainly cau be no manner of question as to the immense superiority of a merry Christmas in England to a muddy one on Balaklava's heights any; more than of that of the smoking sirloin and tenderly-fed turkey over Crimea's lean kine and fowls that refuse to be fattened. But there is no magic in wishes any more than in words, and it is to be feared that these prophets of peace underrate the Russian's tenacity and endurance. It is certain that his position is a difficult one, if, as is now the growing belief, he runs short of water and cannot get up supplies fast enough for the number of men necessary to hold his position. That such is the case we have evidence worthy of consideration, but which must not be unhesitatingly reo3ived, since it is chiefly that of deserters. Accepting it, for argument's sake, as trustworthy and positive, the enemy's only al - ternative is to attack or to give in. To get them to attack is just what is most to be desired. Setting aside the idea of a siege, which, in fact, is no siege, we have two powerful armies, each occupying a line of extremely strong positions, not to be taken without severe loss arid some risk of defeat. Evidently the disadvantage is with the army which is first compelled to assume the °fide sive. The result of the action on the Tchernaya is suffi cient proof of thi , . Since it occured the defences of the point then assailed have been greatly improved by the French, who laugh at the idea of a similar attempt being made with even a shadow of success. An attempt on Balaklava or a general attack on our lines woull be a strong indication that the statements of the straitened condition of the Russians are well founded, and that they are driven to a desperate effort. Such an attack, if our generals prove as able as we know our soldiers to be brave, ought to recoil with terrible force upon the heads of the assailants, occasioning them heavy lnsses of men and giving us solid proofs of success in the shape of newly-acquired positions. THE ENEMY'S " IM PROVEMENTS. " Yesterday I went down into our advanced trenches, and from the fifth parallel, the most forward of them, a good view could be had of this latest of the enemy's " improvements." Without the aid of a glass, I could see crowds of people passing and ropassing from the north and south sides of the harbour, whilst workmen were busily engaged about the middle of the bridge in completing it. Some fifty or sixty yards off the corner of the dockyard lay the huge Twelve Apos tles; and, about midway between her and the broken line of the mast beads of the sunken ships, runs the bridge—apparently some 20 feet in breadth, and pro tected on either side by a low handrail. Sail boats and barges, laden with various kinds of stores, were plying between the two sides of the harbour ; and altogether, as looked at through the rifle loophole from which viewed it, the whole scene appeared as undisturbed and industriously busy as if not a French or English soldier had foothold within the realms of the Czar. From within revolver shot of the Redan a very prolonged or complete survey was, of course, not convenient ; but even with such glimpses of the place as could be had from the parapet, I saw enough to convince me that, whatever may be the stag/lthe besieged's commissariat, they are as active as they could be if fed upon the best. In the open, some 50 yards from the parapet which shel tered me, poor Yea received his death wound on the disastrous 18th of June, and all round were strewn the sacrificed hundreds who fell on the same memorable morn i ng . Fifteen or twenty perches beyond runs the low broken hedge of stakes forming the abattis, stretch ing down the slope towards the similar defensive barrier in front of the adjacent Malakhoff. A s seen at a dis tance of about a hundred and fifty yards, this obstruc tive lice appears, at first sight, as if it could offer little hindrance to an attacking force ; but a closer scrutiny of it shows it to be just low, intricate, and strong enough to check assailants, whilst au extra discharge or two of grape could be poured into them from the black muzzles bristling in terrible array some 70 or 80 yards beyond, RIFLEMAN. I shall expect to see V.Io apricot jacket and purple cap of Alfred Day, on Oulston, close up at his quarters. The third place I assign to Rotherham. Should Gm culus Esuriens go well to the post, I shall be induced to make a venture with him as a cockboat. Perhaps after all more unlikely things might be dreamt of in a man's philosophy than John Scott's furnishing the St. Leger winner. THE GREAT YORKSHIRE HANDICAP seems likely to go to Whitewall with the assistance of either Midsummer or Vandal—my ‘" fancy" is for the mare. Gamekeeper and Radcliffe Hero stand next in my estimation. For the Champagne Stakes I shall place my trust in Artillery. The Glasgow Stakes I assign to Porto-Rice. For the Stand Plate ifospodar, Bourgeoise, and Eulogist seem the most noteworthy names. The most formidable lot for the Portland Plate comprises Wild Huntsman, Chalice, Welham, and La Victime. For the Corpora tion Plate I t-hall stand on the Queen Blab filly, Assayer, and The Cropper. The most favourably-weighted animals for the Cleve land Handicap appear to be Dervish, Maid of Team Valley, The Cropper, and Mary. Could I calculate upon a start I should expect to see Coroner, Heir of Lynne, and Stork occupy the foremost places for the Egliutun Stakes. The running for the other events will be regulated by the result of Tuesday's and Wednesday's races. The nominations for the Cup will be made this evening. Wild Dayrell is reported a " certain starter" for it. A FRESH MAN. September it T- 5. - _HE STREETS OF PARIS.--The grand effect of the street archictecture of Paris, arising from the im mense height of the houses, is very striking to a Lon doner, who rarely sees three storeys exceeded. The new buildings in the extension of the Rue de Rivoli are quite palatial, and, unlike our new streets, are constructed of stone, and not brickbats cemented over. The balconies (of which there are two, one above the entre sol, and a second formed by a bold projecting cornice to the fourth storey) are gilt, which mode is probably as durable as paint in the pure air of Paris, and adds much to the gaiety of the general effect of the new street. Nothing can be more admirable than the arrangements for clean ing and watching the streets. —The Builder. PROPERTY-TAX IN SCOTLAND.—The Chancellor of the Ex chequer has addressed a letter to Mr. William Lockhart, M.P., the head of a numerous deputation of Scotch mem bers who had an interview with him on the 21st of May last on the subject of dealing with the local charges upon land in assessing it to the income-tax, in which he says, in writing from Downing-street on the 16th ult., that he admits the equity and reason ableness of the principle that the landowners of Scot land, in making the income-tax assessment, should be practically placed in as favourable a position as the land• owners of England and Ireland with respect to local charges upon the land ; and if any bill should be introduced into Parli amen t b y th e G overnmen t for making further charges on the income-tax w hile ho holds the office of Chancell or o f th e E xc h eq uer, h?sPTh be willing to con s id er th e propr i ety ofincludingv i d n itil t clause for givi ng e ff ec t t o t h at principle , provided the means for ex ce pti ng f rom t h e asse ssmentthe rates and paid by b which are chargeabl e u p on th e landlorde arranged in a him, and not by th e t enan t, can satisfactory m anner .
