While earnestly deprecating the abandonment of the lines and works before Sebastopol, we are by no means disposed to undervalue the benefits that would necessarily arise from a well-organised movement having for its object the closing of the various channels of supply to the Russian army. We have repeatedly and emphatically directed attention to the paramount importance of such a course, which would not only make Sebastopol, but the whole of the Crimea, our own. The ope rations against Kertch, Anapa, and the Sea of Azoff were so many steps in the right direction, but they were only instalments of what was re quired. The Isthmus of Perekop should be her- rnetically sealed, and also the passage of the Sivash, so as to prevent the transit of large bodies of men or stores for the relief of the Russian army or garrison. This duty, if energetically under taken, would, although arduous, not be beyond the power of the troops that could be detached from the lines, who might be materially assisted from seaward. We do not, of course, mean that the larger class of vessels, requiring a considerable draught of water, could be made available, but flat-bottomed boats, each carrying a single gun, could, by judicious management, be enabled to penetrate from Genitchi almost to Perekop itself, so as to prevent the possibility of men or stores being transported over the Putrid Sea, and even to greatly impede the communications across the Isthmus. The storehouses at Odessa and Nico 3aieff might also easily be destroyed, so that no supplies could be spared from the districts that have hitherto proved such fertile sources ; and if sent, the channel of communication could also be blocked up by an army having the base of its operations on Eupatoria, and placing the Rus sians in the field between two fires. It is more than probable that some operation of the latter description was • contemplated when O~tAr PAsUA and the Turkish army of the Danube were sent to Eupatoria. It was clearly not in tended that the experienced General and his veteran soldiers should remain inactive under cover of the Allied fleets. Sufficient reinforce =tents were, not, however, despatched to enable them to take the field, and meet any attack that might be hazarded by the Russian generals. The whole of the army now quartered on the Mackenzie heights might be brought against them, and they should, before abandoning the shelter of Eupa toria, be satisfied that they were in sufficient force to risk the chances of a pitched battle. That they have never hitherto been, but it by no means follows that the original plan may not s till be fully and fairly carried out. According to the best information that can be obtained, the Allies have nearly, if not quite, 200,000 fighting men in the Crimea ! Less than half that dumber would amply suffice to maintain the lines and works constructed against Se bastopol—against all sorties from within, or attacks from without. We have seen that a comparatively small number have always been sufficient to repel the fiercest onslaughts of the Russians, and Inkerman and the Tchernaya attest the great results that can be accomplished by a small but efficient body in defending an intrenched position. An army of one hundred thousand men might, therefore, take the field to the rear of the Russians ; and, judging from the experience of the past, from what has already occurred in every hand-to-hand encounter, such a force might un hesitatingly meet any that the Russians could bring against them. Their army may be estimated at 150,000 men at the utmost, one-third of whom are cooped up within the walls of the beleaguered fortress. One hundred thousand is, therefore, the greatest number they could bring into the field en any emergency. Even that is probably far beyond the mark ; but supposing for the sake of argument that they could be made available, would the Allies shriek f ro m anything approaching to an equal contest, or hesitate to risk the fortunes of the c am p a i gn on s uch a contest We b e liev e not. W e are conv i nc ed that there is nothing which they would more ardently desire than such a chance, and we should fearlessly abide the result. Besides, - if one hundred thousand men be not sufficient for such a duty, why not send additional reinforcements. If England cannot spare the m en, France has them, and we now know that we can implicitly depend on th e most zealous Co operation on the part of our faithful AUy. She possesses the power, and we may rest azsu red. that - th*e.ivill is not wanting It will be true econ=y to *440 Do miaow is th e owiez stages, but to put forth all our strength to crush the enemy, and to conquer a just and honourable peace, promising to be permanent, which can only be achieved by leaving the foe without the power to again disturb the tranquillity of Europe. There are two crowned beads whose conduct at this moment engages a large share of attention, and should lead to results of vast importance to the united cause of liberty and civilisation. The monarchs to whom we allude are the King of GREECE and the King of NAPLES. Of these the former may be described as half knave and half fool, and the latter as the maddest BOURBON that ever existed, which is saying a great deal, consi dering what a tyrannical and Godforsaken race his has long been. The King of GMEOE, it is well known, owes his exaltation to the throne to the good offices of this country and France, and his Government, it is no less notorious, has taken care to owe us a great deal of money beside, which we would very much like to see returned, without much pros pect, however, of having our wish gratified. Under such circumstances the Allies had a right to anticipate that whatever little service Greece I could render to their cause would be cheerfully offered, or, giving ordinary scope for ingratitude, that King OTHo would at least take care to pre serve a strict neutrality. The return they actually met with at the very outset of the War must be fresh in general recol lection. A revolt against our Turkish Ally took place, and Greece lent all but open aid to the insurgents, the result being that a portion of the Allied forces had to be detached for the partial occupation of Greece as a warning to its perfidious and ungrateful Government, at a moment when a single regiment could be ill spared. The warning, as it turns out, was only temporarily effective, for from the withdrawal of the troops up to the present time, Greece has been a hotbed of Russian intrigue, and the Cour t now rather resembles a Committee of Safety for Russia than the Court of a neutral Power. The King of the Two Sicilies, on the other King hand, reigns by divine right, and the grace of Austria awhile ago backed up by Russian bayonets, and, save in a commercial way, owes nothing to France and England but toleration of his monarchical existence—which a breath of theirs would at any time for years past have consigned to annihilation. No gratitude, how ever, has been anticipated at his hands for this, and if in his heart he favoured Russia no one could be surprised ; but that he should do more— that he should persecute such of his subjects as dare to sympathise with the cause of the Allies, should have their steps dogged, their privacy in vaded, and themselves ultimately cast into prison to expiate by flagellation and confinement, any expression of such sympathy is somewhat startling after all, but that he should carry his audacity farther, and actually beard both France and England by flagrant disrespect to the flag of the one, and insult to a member of the corps diplo matique of the other savours of that infatuation which the Gods are said to bestow on those whom they have doomed' to destruction. 1 The fact is, both these monarchs have reigned too long, and must be dethroned on the earliest opportunity. Any longer toleration of them than can be helped will be a condonation of their of fences and a blot on the escutcheon of the Allies. For, let it not be forgotten that, to the offence of ingratitude and treachery to the Allies, the King of GREECE adds wretched misgovernment, and the King of the Two SICILIES a tyranny that smells to heaven; that Greece is hurrying to ruin, and that Naples is a hell. Is it not monstrous that in the very garden of Europe, whose special endowment one would imagine bad been happi ness, and almost within sight and hearing of the two great Guardians of Civilisation, a cowardly tyrant should be permitted to burden the very air with his yoke, and blast the glorious vegetation with his breath to hold a perpetual saturnalia for the cut-throats and scoundrels of Italy—to fasten them on every man's steps, and apply them with diabolical ingenuity as snares to entrap, or goads to drive to desperation and the scaffold, every liberal minded citizen ? Is not this, we say, monstrous ? and can it be suffered to continue ? Outraged humanity, iu reply, thunders—No ! We have seen it asserted that the Press is keeping up the War, and that the nation is grow ing weary of it. So far as our knowledge goes, and we doubt not the knowledge of our contem poraries also, the reverse is the truth, and as the conductors of the Press generally must be pretty well acquainted with the views of all classes of men, and since the burdens of the War fall upon them as well as upon others, there appear to be no interested reasons why they should differ from the generality of their neighbours. Indeed our in terest lies in sailing with the tide, and if we sus pected ourselves of a bias from considerations of advantage, we should rather ask whether we urged energetic prosecution of the War to gratify popular wishes, keeping at the same time our judgment in abeyance. We have, however, a clear conviction for ourselves that our counsel is as sound as it is honest ; and we have also the full impression that the people do not so much adop' it, as identify it with their own views. There is enough, indeed, to cause a feeling of weariness, but it is the weariness of fatigue, or rather disgust,. not of changed or flagging resolution. Looking at the general management of the War, we are made, like a person walking on deep loose shingle, or on a slippery road, to_lose almost half of every step which is taken ; and it is very pro voking to find ourselves thus moving on by inches when the progress should be measured by paces. It has been so from the beginning. The Turks drove the Russians from the Danube, and from the provinces—a splendid effort forward, but backwards we went again to the scandalous occu pation of the rescued country by the hateful Aus trians, and the consigning of the vanquisher of the CZAR, to ignoble quiescence. We pushed for ward again at Eupatoria and the Alma, but back indeed again, to the southern side of Sebastopol, and the miseries of last winter. The fleet went forward, too, to the Dardanelles, but was at anchor while Sinope was perpetrated. R made a little step in advance when it just birched Odessa for insolence, but ecmpensated for such progression by the tenfold greater mischief of leaving it to aid Austria and Russia in their plans developed at Inkerman. At the Sea of Azoff most serviceable progress was made this summer, but suck progress would have turned our heads and ruined the enemy if permitted to continue. Accordingly our huge fleet in the Euxine has remained ingloriously at anchor, and Odessa and Nicolaieff are still left intact to feed and barrack the enemy, and, if late accounts be cor rect, to build new three-deckers ! It seems as if every success were the prelude to a long subse quent inaction ; and as if express orders had been given not to strike effective blows in too quick succession. In the Baltic last year it was enough to destroy a single B omarsun d , an d too late to follow up the succe ss ; this year the story is repeated; Sweabcag-bombarded is eueueut is it3 way, but it is clear that with Sir C. NAPIER'S last year's plans before them our Government might have destroyed Sweaborg, Helsingfors, and Cronstadt itself by an adequate supply of mortar-boats, mortars, and appropriate ammuni fish, No wonder that the nation yawns immediately after the tidings of each splendid achievement. It has now come to look, on such occasions, for an- other attendant illustration of Whig or Peelite in- competency or jugglery. We are compelled to enter upon another winter with the evidence that, had we had a CARNOT at the head of the War Department instead of a PANMITRE and a WooD, every fortification up to St. Petersburg would have been laid in ruins before autumn had ended. And this, we suppose, is pretty much the same thing as the War being terminated, and the millions re quisite for another campaign saved. We are all weary, no doubt, of Administra tors pitched into office to propitiate family in terests, but totally wanting in the foresight and general capacity to achieve a decided success; and who cannot, with the ample means at their dis- posal, provide our Admirals with the means indis pensable to finishing their work. Weariness of this kind we admit. Weariness, not of the War, but of its management, and of the burdens unnecessarily heaped upon us by the vilest sycophancy to Austria, the criminal rejection of the Polish cause and the invaluable aid of the Pales, and the treacherous concern of Lord JOHN Russiu, and others, to save Russian territory and Russian honour. But ask any honest John Bull whether for all this he is prepared to raise the siege of Sebastopol, and to propose peace to Russia? He might just before have been complaining of the doubled Income Tax, of our Chancellors of the Exchequer, even in war time, sparing the Landlords' Probate Duties and other taxes paid by every one else ; he might have been talking of the high price of wheat, and cursing the policy which has not, with all our means in the Black Sea, opened yet the navigation of the Danube and set free the vast corn produce of its banks. He might have seemed so out •f patience with the War manage ment, or rather mismanagement, that you had supposed him ready to hold up both hands for the BRIGHT and COBDEN policy ; but put to him the testing question, and he would heave his broad shoulders, as he has often done under many a burden, and, turning half round, would tell you " No, uo, that won't do ; we must teach the Rooshans first who is master ; we've spent too much now to leave off where we are." No doubt we should all be but too thankful to see things in the old ruts again—commercial men with only commercial considerations to attend to, and Whigs and Tories with nothing left to quarrel about but reform bills and church rates-- but we should not be so glad to feel ashamed ever after before all Europe that we and France could not flog Russia, and Austria and Prussia into the bargain, if they like to join her. With more millions of people than the barbarian aggressor, with twenty times more money, with navies that compel hers to skulk behind her fortresses, and that could annihilate those for tresses at long range; with such means to let the savages who murdered our unarmed men at Hango, who butchered our prostrate wounded, who fired on their own cavalry to destroy ours at Balaklava, who cannonaded our allies when rescuing the Russian wounded on the Tchernaya--nay, who opened the War, so far as the allies were concerned, by firing on a flag of truce at Odessa ; with the means of England and France, to let off such brutal aspirers to the conquest of Europe, without sufficient humiliation, would make every Englishman and Frenchman blush for hiA fatherland. We must " Persevere." Thb King of Sardinia is expected in Paris on the 16th. Abd-el-Kader is seriously ill of cholera at Marseilles. RUMOURED DEATH of SCHAMYL—The Trieste Zeitunq of the 31st contains a letter of the 14th, from its Trebi zond correspondent. One passage of it is as follows— " The news of the death of Schamyl seems to be con firmed." The Ocean Chief made the passage from Liverpool to Hobart Town in 72 days, the quickest passage ever made. The depot of the 82c1, at present in Edinburgh Castle, have received orders to hold themselves in readiness to proceed to Ire'-and. Yesterday was issued an account of the gross and nett revenue of the Duchy of Lancaster for the year ending Michaelmas, 1E54. The income of the year amounted to 42,266/ , and the expenditure to 35,6671. We (North British Daily Mail) have been informed on good authority that there will be further changes in the organisation of the Government, and that a coalition will be formed against Palmerston, by Lord John Rus sell, Gladstone, Graham, and the other few Peelites, along with Cobden, Bright, and that party.

SCREW STEAMER ON SHORE.—CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 23.—The Lady Jocelyn, screw steamer, got on shore above Leander's Tower, has received assistance to lighten her, but is not yet off. MOORE'S LIBRARY.—The library of the poet Moore has been received in Dublin, as a present from the widow of the deceased to the Royal Irish Academy. FIRE IN DIIBLIN.—The shop and stock in trade of Mr. Thacker, boot-maker, Dame-street, Dublin, were de stroyed by fire on Saturday evening. ROBBING A CHAPEL.—An entrance was effected some few nights ago into the vestry attached to the Roman Catholic chapel at Crogban, in the barony of Lower Philipatown, by a party of persons unknown, who stole therefrom a pall and other articles used in the celebration of the mass, the property of the congregation. Govern ment have authorised the police-officer at Elenderry to give a reward of 101. fur the detection of the guilty parties. The potato crops here are free from disease, and they are harvesting fast. A potato, grown at Risborough, weighing 250 z., was exhibited at name, on 28th ultimo. Mr. Anstiss, of this place, dug from one root 73 good potatoes; and Mr. Thornton, of the Sun Inn, bad from one set upwards of 71bs. At the rate of the latter pro duce, an acre would yield 166,3201b5. ; supposing they were planted in 22-inch drills, and each set was 12 inches apart. At the calculation of a bushel, weighing 601b5., there would be 2,227 bushels, which, if sold-at is. per bushel, would realise 1381. 122.—Bicester Herald. Yesterday a return ordered by the House of Commons was published showing the Parliamentary, Legal, and Engineering expenditure of 16f) railway companies. It appears that the total sums of money expended in ob taining acts of Parliament for establishing such com panies was 12,548,7151. Bs. 2d., giving an average for each of 7,8421. The money expended in obtaining acts for purchasing other railways, or amalgamating with railway or canal companies, amounted to 852,2021. 2s. The money spent in costs, charges, and expenses in curred by actions, suits, and other proceedings at law or in equity by some of the companies amounted to 685,1041. 4s. 3d. Forty-five companies have made no returns. SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT THE REFORM CLUB.—An accident, nearly attended with fatal results, occurred yesterday afternoon at the Reform Club-house, Pall mall. The building is at present undergoing some con siderable repairs, and one of the workmen, William Gadnaan, a plasterer, was at work on a scaffold some 20 feet above the ground, when he accidentally missed his footing, and fell. Upon assistance arriving he was taken up in an insensible state, and removed to the Charing -cross Hospital, where the resident medical officer immediately attended upon him. A closer exa mination of his injuries allowed that he had suffered a severe fracture of several ribs, and had also injured the spinal column. He still lies in a very precarious condi tion, but improving. There does not appear to be blame attached to any person. FATAL ACCIDENT TO THE CAPTAIN OF A RIVER STEAM BOAT.—Yesterday morning, about half-past nine o'clock, the body of Mr. W. H. French, the captain of one of the Adelphi and London-bridge steam-boats, was found in the River Thames, off Davy's Roads, Upper Ground street, Blackfriars-road. The body was immediately got ashore, and handed over to Mr. kibblewhite, the coroner's officer. The circumstances attending the death of the unfortunate man are of an exceedingly painful character. It appears that on Thursday last the steamer in command of the Jeceased was chartered to attend a rowing match, and on its return to the Adelphi-pier the deceased was noticed to fall by some of the crew, and all of sudden a splash was heard in the water. Upon go ing to the ride of the vessel his hands yeere seen ex tended, as if in the act of trying to catch hold of the the crow, t e e n and aalson, butby the Thames ha A ni n es a p tt o e l m ice p , t t waso made without success, and ho was ca rried awa y b y the tide and disappeared. The river wa s dr agg ed f o r upwards of an hour, but without the body being found, until rescue the by yesterday, when it was vr4stio'd into the ra;d9 by the btrorgth of the tide. COURT CIRCULAR. ----~ -- OSBORNE, SEPT. 3. The Queen abnd Prince, the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, and the Princess Royal attended morning ser vice at Whippingham Church yesterday. The Rev. J. Prothero officiated. Lord Palmerston has returned to London. Baron Liebig has aitived on a visit to her Majesty. Major-General the Hon. Charles Grey has succeeded Major-General Bouverie as Equerry in Waiting. Despatches were received at the Colonial-office yester day from the Governor of Canada. Despatches were sent to the Governors of Ceylon and 'long Kong. THE QUEEN'S JOURNEY TO SCOTLAND.-4t has already been announced in The San that her Majesty and suite will leavo the King's-cross Station, London, on Thursday morning next, and travel thence by the Slreat Northern and North-Eastern lines of railway to Edinburgh. The Royal train will proceed as follo - ws :-It will pass Hornsey at 8.10 a.m. ; Colney-hatch, 8.13 ; Barnet, 8.17 ; Potter's-bar, 8.22 ; Hatfield, 8.26 ; Welwyn, 8.30 ; Stevenage, 8,37 ; Hitchin, 8.42, passing slowly through the straight line without stopping ; Arsley, 8.48 ; Biggleswade, 8.52 ; Sandy, 8.55 ; St. Neot's, 9.2 ; Offord, 9.7 ; Huntingdon, 9.10, passing slowly through the straight line without stopping ; Holme, 9.24 ; Peterborough, 9.35. At this station there will be a pause of about three minutes, in order to allow of the engine being changed. The train will resume its course at 9.33, passing Tonkington, at 9.52 ; Essendine. at 9.58 ; Little Bytham, at 10.3 ; Corby, at 10.12 ; Great Pouton, at 10.19 ; Grantham, at 10.23, where there will be another pause of three minutes for the engine to take h water. Leaving Grantham, at 10.26, the train will pass Rougham, at 10.34; Claypole, at 10,38; Newark, at 10.45 ; Carlton, at 10.54 ; Tuxford, at 11.3 ; Retford, at 11.12 ; Sutton, at 11.17 ; Ranskill, at 11.20 • Scroo by, at 11.22 ; Bawtry, at 11. 25 ; where there will again be a delay of three minutes to change engines, the train leaving Bawtry at 11.28, and passing Rossington at 11.34 ; Doncaster, at 11.43 ; where the train will pass through the station slowly on the straight line with out stopping, and reach Arksey at 11.46 ; Askern, at 11.53 ; Norton, at 11.55 ; Womersley, at 11.58 ; Knot tingley, at 12.5, passing slowly through the station ; Barton Salmon, at 12.10 ; Milford junction, at 12.13 ; Sherburn, at 12.16 ; Church Fenton, at 12.19 ; Ulles kelp, at 12.22 ; Bolton Percy, at 12.24 ; Copmanthorpe, at 12.29 ; York (ticket platform), at 12.35; York sta tion, 12.42, the Great Northern engine being detached at the former point, and a North-Eastern engine being put on to shunt the train into the station. The Royal travellers will lunch at the Station hotel, Mr. Halliday, the proprietor, having received instructions to make similar preparations to those of last year. Her Majesty and suite will resume their journey soon after 1 o'clock, and are expected to reach Edinburgh between 4 and 5 o'clock. The Royal travellers will rest there on Thurs day night, and proceed from Edinburgh to Banchory, the furthest point by railway, and thence to Balmoral on Friday morning. Orders have been issued to the railway officials along the route to admit the public to the various platforms under certain regulations, also to keep the line clear half an hour previous to the time named in the time-bill ; and a special engine will follow 5 minutes after the Royal train. We regret to find that Lord Clarence Paget, lately in command of her Majesty's ship Princess Royal, in the Black Sea, has arrived in England in a very infirm state of health, and his present condition causes much anxiety to his friends. Dr. Lyon Playfair, secretary of the London depari merit of arts, is expected this month in Limerick, to make arrangements for re-openins , the School of Art in that city, closed by the acts of Mr. Cole. DEATH OF MR. ABBOTT LAWRENCE.—We regret to learn, by the arrival of the Baltic steamer, which reached Liverpool at an early hour on Sunday morning, of the demise of Mr. Abbott Lawrence, the late diplomatic representative of the United States at the Briti-h COurt. FRIGHTFUL DEATH.—A. poor man named Christopher Byrne, employed in the Irish Peat Company's works, near Athy, was burned to death a few days ago in the hot cinders of one of the furnaces, into which ho acci dentally fell. . We understand that the Rev. R. M. M`Brair, M.A., late of Cambridge, has resigned his appointment into the hands of the president of the Conference, and with- O g a Ern Tdhrri discipline. i_s o mi dissent prl i. from oe. s d o r m a i : a E n pr a fm A r rN o t CsHoof the Lt yh e c Ao Wesleyannc n e e i E i Ao e cT x o p op r o e i ym n Dent, storekeeper of the dockyard at Plymouth, was drowned on Monday evening by the upsetting of a boat, in which, with two of his sons, he was fishing between Mount Edgcumbe and the island. His eldest son, a lieutenant in the Royal navy, was the only one of the party sen sible when picked up. The second son, a clerk in the establishment, although resuscitated, lies in a precarious state. All efforts to recover the father were fruitless. LIBERALITY OF MESSRS.

Every magazine in the place was destroyed —also immense stores of cordage, rope, tar, and other naval supplies. The large Russian man-of-war, which was anchored in the pa-sage between the two islands to the north of the fortress, had her side blown out, and 14 or 15 different descriptions of vessels lying inside the dockyard basins were destroyed entirely. THE CHOLERA IN ITALY.—The cholera still rages in Central Italy, and where the Governments permit the publication of reports they show a great mortality. Where publicity is prohibited rumour of course exagge rates the evil. In the Duchy of Parma, on the 24th ult., there were 259 cases and 119 deaths, which make a total of 3,864 cases and 2,100 deaths. In Northern Italy the disease continues, though somewhat abated in its viru lence. The Lieutenantcy of Milan gives the following summary of the number of cases reported from the various provinces on the 27th :—Milan, 183 ; Brescia, 114 ; Bergamo, 84; Mantua, 137; Cremona, 127; Lodi- Creme, 63 ; Como, no report ; Pavia, 26 ; Sondrio, 9. At Genoa, from noon of the 26th to noon of the 27th, there were 26 cases and 8 deaths. In the island of Sar dioia, the cases have greatly diminished. At Sassari, on the 26th, there were only 14 fresh cases and 17 deaths, but at Alghero, Ozieri, and other places there was still much suffering. ROUEN.—The letters from Rouen mention that the market for manufactures was heavy, in consequence of dirn;nished purchases. We have great pleasure in stating that the Court of Directors of th 3 East India Company have appointed Mr. William Ritchie, of the Calcutta bar, to be Acting Advocate General of India during the absence of Mr. Prineep, with the reversion of the office when a vacancy occurs. MR. OLIVER'S BANKRUPTCY.—LiverpooI letters men tion that the trustees of the estate of Mr. Oliver have now about 100,0001. to divide, if they can succeed in resisting the new attempt being made to bring the case into the Bankruptcy Court. SPECIE.—The shipments of specie by the Peninsular and Oriental steamer Euxine amount to the large total of 593,2001., of which 111,8001. is gold for Malta, Alexandria, Ceylon, Madras, and Hong Kong, and 481,4001. silver for Bombay, Madras, Calcutta, Pe nang, Singapore, Hong Kong, Canton, and Shanghai. A3ISTERDASL—The weekly reviews from the Amster dam and Rotterdam produce markets state that the de mand for most articles was supported, and that in some cases a slight advance had been obtained. The opera tions in coffee had not been extensive, owing to the ap proaching sales of the Dutch Trading Company. In sugar there was a further tendency to improvement. A steady inquiry existed for rice. DEPARTURE OF VESSELS FOR AUSTRALIA.—The depar tures from the port of London for the Australian colo nies during the past week have comprised nine vessels — three to Sydney, three to New Zealand, two to Adelaide, and one to Hobart Town, with an aggregate capacity of 5,888 tons. The rates of freight exhibit scarcely any alteration. BUSINESS OF THE PORT OF LONDON.—The general business of the port of London during the past week has been active. The total number of vessels reported in ward was 173, beinst 20 more than in the previous week. The number clearacroutward was 144, showing an in crease of 15. Of these 26 were in ballast. There is also an increase in the number of vessels entered for the Aus tralian trade ; the total on the berth now loading for those colonies being 71, or 12 over the last report ; 9 of them are for Adelaide, 5 for Geelong, 5 for Hobart Town, 3 for Launceston, 5 for Melbourne, 1 for More ton.bay, 7 for New Zealand , 1 for Newcastle, 14 for Port Philip, 2 for Portland Bay, 17 for Sydney, and 2 for Swan River. NEW YonK.—The specie from New York yesterday is 136,0001., and a further sum may be expected by the Union on Friday. The commercial ad vices on this oc casion present nothing new. The to vi were firm, but a disposition to buoyancy which had recently been manifested was not fully sus tained. Erie Railway Stock remained at 53 ; Reading , anadlhllaitrivosisst had beenCentralß removed, and arAdll oned ofooubfttho p a r n i n azr ai dot 9 8 ;Panama, 108 ; papers in Western New York had put forth an elabo rate estimate that the United States and Canada toge ther would this year have the enormous surplus of 77,200,000 bushels of wheat. Some of the States, it is alleged, show a product ranging from 100 to 500 per cent. over that of the large export year of 1847. These calculation s however, a!t h oug h supported by an array of figures, must be regarded as altogether vague. There had been no fresh arrivals from California, and gold re ceipts were rather anxiously looked for, the tendency being towards decline in the amounts held by the banks. Frcm Texas details are given of the open movements of an " auxiliary force" of United States citizens to pro mote the revolution in Blexico. This force was to cross the frontier and invade Mexico, under the command of a Captain Henry, who bad issued two kinds of procla mation, one to his own countrymen, promising to bring Mexico under the protection of the American eagle ; the other to the Mexicans, in which, instead of alluding to annexation, he states the object to be to enable the people to establish an independent and powerful Govern ! ment.

The Euphrates, whose arrival at Marseilles we yesterday announced, brings the following intelli- gene() from Constantinople The Russians, it appears, have constructed two semicircular lines behind the Malakhoff Tower. A great movement is observable amongst the army of the enemy on the Belbec plateau. New works have been constructed by tho Allies to protect the line of the Tchernaya. The Russians are actively constructing the bridge which is to unite the north and south of Sebastopol. All the steamers of the Allies have been ordered to return to Prance for troops. They bring home sick and wounded. Gun-boats of the Allies having appeared at the mouth of the Danube, the Russians have forbid he navigation of that river to neutral vessels. The steamer Lady Jocelyn is aground off THE WAR IN ASIA. The news from Kars is of the 4th, and is less alarming than before. Letters from Erzeroum speak of the approaching retreat of the Russians. The Russian General feared that the army of Batoum, which is to be commanded by Omer Pasha, would cut off his retreat by advancing on Tanis. The following bulletin is published by the Government : " On the 4th, at 7 a.m., the Russians advanced with the whole of their forces against the intrenchments of Kars, and made an attack on the battery of Khanly- Tabia. A contest between the artillery commenced and lasted two hours. The Russians, who lost a great num ber of men, retreated. Besides the dead and wounded they took off, they left on the field more than 100 men." The letter adds that a Russian General was killed, and that one of their guns was so injured that it had to be abandoned. in this affair the Ottoman troops are said to have displayed great bravery, and, owing to the position they occupied, lost but few men. After a combat which took place at Kepri-Keui, and in which Kerem Pasha distin guished himself, the Russians recrossed the Sog ham-Dagh; "so that," says the letter, "Erzeroum is completely relieved." FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY EVENING. Letters from various parts of Italy concur in stating that the probability of serious events soon taking place there is believed by many ; and accounts from Austria speak of a feeling of appre hension on the same subject, as also of the prepa ration of the Government for all emergencies. Whether the war with Russia will continue limited to the theatre of its present operations, or whether by the force of circumstances independent of her will or of that of the Allies, it will assume greater proportions and extend over Europe, no one can 'say ; but it is on the latter eventuality that the hopes of the Italian and of the Hungarian and Polish emigrations are chiefly founded. The Italians at home and abroad antici pate that the hour of the•deliverance of their coun try is fast approaching. The signs and presages are numerous ; the appearances aro too promising to be again deceitful. Through the darkness which has so long enveloped the atmosphere a gleam is breaking, faintly but steadily ; and, like the small but distant light which Columbus, hoping even amid despair, pointed out at midnight to the few who still shared his faith in their near approach to land, the Liberals of Italy believe that the present flame is no mere exhalation or fleeting meteor, but it is the one which will surely guide them to the long-expected and long-promised resting-place. The Emperor, by decrees of the 29th ult., has confirmed two nominations to the rank of Officer in the Legion of Honour and thirteen to that of Knights of the same Order, made by General Pe lissier in the Crimea ; also the grant of 26 military medals by the same General. By Imperial decrees ; M. Abbatucci, Minister of Justice, has been charged with the ad interim ad ministration of the Ministry of State and of the Ministry of the Interior, during the absence of M. Fould. and M. Billault. _ _ Prince Ladislas Czartorisky is to leave Paris this evening with several foreign officers for Mar seilles and Constantinople. It is announced that the Prince and his companions are to occupy them selves in Turkey in forming the corps of Ottoman Cossacks, which, it is said, will be partly composed of Poles. Colonel de Lagondie, who had the mis fortune eight mouths ago to be taken prisoner by the Russians, owing to his being shortsighted, is also to leave this day for the Crimea, where he has been placed at the disposition of General Pelissier. The colonel, since his return to France, has been acting as chief of the Staff of one of the divisions of the camp of Boulogne. BOURSE, SEPT. 3.—CLOSING PRICES. Cash. fr. c.

Au order of the day published at'St. Petersburg, on the 29th ult., contains the official announce ment that'General Puchsanet H., who has hitherto commanded the artillery of the active army, has been named commandant of the 3d corps of in fantry, vice General Read, deceased. General Stakowitsh 1., first commandant of Norwogeorgi ersk, has been appointed chief of the artillery of the active army, in lieu of General Puchsanet. The Finlands Allmanna Tidning, which appears at Helsingfors, announces that, in consequence of the war, the university of Helsingfors will be closed this year. AUSTRIA. A letter from Vienna, in the Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, announces that M. de Prokesh Osten arrived at Vienna on the 28th from Frankfort, and had a long conference with Count Buol on the fol lowing day. The Russian Councillor Laxmann has arrived from St. Petersburg with important despatches. Count Leon Moltke has set out for Denmark. A letter from Xienna says that the Steam Navi gation Company of the Danube is sending all the towing vessels it possesses to the provinces of the Lower Danube, but that they will not be sufficient to enable the large quantities of corn collected there to be sent off, and that even any number of row-boats would be able to obtain freights at high prices. a cruise to the westward ; in the evening she left again for Kotka. 10.—The Lightning parted company for Faro. At 2.30 the Geyser arrived with the mails from ,ntzic. Aug. 27.—Yesterdaybeing Prince Albert's birth day, the usual honours to it wero put off until to day, when the allied fleet hoisted mast• head flags, and fired a salute at 12 o'clock. At 1.50 p.m. the Hastings arrived from Baro sund. At 4.53 p.m. a French gunboat arrived. I be lieve the gunboats which have just come have on board 4,000 rockets of a new and formidable con struction, having the enormous range of upwards of 7,000 yards, being nearly double that of our largest mortars and guns. 7.55.—The transport Royal Adelaide brought her weekly supply of bullocks. Aug. 28, 7.30 a.m.—The Vulture returned from towing the Calcutta. On her way back she got a little too far to the northward, and ran upon a rock near Hango while going at the rate of nine knots an hour. She remained upon it 13 hours before she floated. She has received a good deal of injury, and makes 13 inches of water per hour. The Austerlitz has returned home ; she has been in a leaky state ever since she ran on shore off the coast of Courland a few weeks ago. THE BALTIC FLEET. NAIaGEN, Aug. 22 to 28.—The gale which was blowing from the westward when the Geyser left the fleet, with the mails, for Dantzic, last Tuesday, increased next day to such violence as to oblige us to let go a second anchor, our top-gallant masts being already on deck. It continued until the 24th, when the wind changed to the northward, and lulled. Aug. 22.—The Mercator transport arrived with the bullocks from Elsinore. Aug. 23.—The Amphion sailed to the eastward. Aug. 2t, 4 a.m.—The French steamer Pelican arrived from Dantzic,and in the evening two French gun-boats joined the fleet from home. It is rather late for them to come out, but not too late, I be lieve, for what they have to do, and from what I hear work is in store for them, Aug. 25.—At 10 a.m., the 'Vulture took the Aolus in tow, and proceeded with her to sea for a short distance. She returned at 6.30, and took the Calcutta in tow as far as the Dager-Ort. The Cal cutta takes home the invalids of the fleet, in charge of Dr. Jeffcot. She will call at Faro for those who were on board the Cottingham on their way to England when she was wrecke d. They are at pre sent in the Belleisle hospital ship. s.so.—The Retributio n, carrying the flag of Ad miral Baynes, left for the Gulf of Bothnia, where lie goes to take command.

A letter from Berlin, of the 31st ult., says : " A report has been current hero to-day that the King of Denmark has been taken seriously ill. The rumour is not entirely true, but it is well known that his Majesty has every symptom of water on the chest, and that these indications assume every day a more serious character. This fact is of great importance at the present moment, when the protocols of London relative to the suc cession of the throne of Denmark are spoken of on every side." A letter from Copenhagen of the 27th ult. men tions a report that the Countess Danner, morga nitic wife of the King of Denmark, is about to be raised to the rack of Duchess. HAMBURG. HAMBURG, Sept. I.—The abuse of neutrality is going on with as much spirit as ever. The newest dodge is to pack a couple of hundredweight of lead into the middle of a large cask of sugar, and it then passes through Prussia into Russia. Another rather striking case occurred this week. The screw steamer Constantine (an appropriate name to be employed in a smuggling transaction of contra band of war into Russia), from Amsterdam, landed the whole of her cargo in this port, with the exception of 150,0001b5. of lead, and which she carried over to Harburg, for conveyance by railroad into the interior, the captain being pro hibited by a special clause in the bill of lading from discharging here, and sending it over to Har burg in lighters, as is frequently done. It was •stensibly stated that its destination was Magde burg ; but it is clear to any one who knows any thing about it, that Prussia is not in want of lead, being abundantly supplied with this article from her own lead mines in Silesia. The Russian authorities at Helsingfors have for bidden all intercourse between that place and Sweaborg, so anxious are they to conceal from every eye the immense amount of damage done by the bombardment. A letter from Constantinople states that the English Government have just had built at that city, on a new model, 80 large boats, which are to be taken in tow by steamers for the Crimea. A letter from Copenhagen of the 27th ult., in the Cologne Gazette, says :—" It is positively stated here that the damage caused by the bombardment of Sweaborg amounts to more than two millions sterling (50 millions of francs). Immense supplies of every kind, which have been collecting there for years, have been destroyed by the flames." From Italy we learn that Field-Marshal Count Radetzky had been seriously ill, and had been for some days confined to his room, but that his health was now established again. The Archduke Max, attended by the Austrian navy, had arrived at Naples, where he had received a most flattering reception from his cousin the Queen, from her husband, and the Neapolitan nobles. An attempt was made at Sarzana on the night of the 25th to liberate the 13 or 14 individuals who aro imprisoned there for an attempt to cross the Modenese frontier about a month ago, with intent to create an insurrection. The sentry at the gaol received a ball from a carbine in the leg, but the report of the shot awoke the guard, and the would be rescuers only saved themselves for the moment by a rapid flight. PERSECUTION OF THE HIGHER CLASSES IN NAPLES. NAPLES, Aug. 25.—Persecution continues un abated. I send you some examples, although in themselves perhaps ridiculous. The Neapolitan aristocracy, well known for its base and ignorant admiration of all the cruelties committed by the King and his agents, has at last itself fallen under the lash of the all-powerful police. The Prince Palliano Colonna's salons at Capo di monte are thrown open once or twice a- week to all the elite of the Neapolitan bean monde, as well as to foreigners of distinction. A few evenings ago the entrance of the palace was invaded by the police, who insisted on taking down the names of all the guests as they , left their carriages. The porter, not under standing the meaning of the proceeding, remon strated, and a row ensued, which reached the rooms above, alarming the company. The Duke of Sangro, who had just been obliged to sign his name, explained the story. The panic was such that all the company, headed by the Minister of War, Prince Tschitella, and including foreigners, instantly left the house, so that at 11 o'clock there was nothing to be seen but lights and melting ices. This occurrence, with similar facts, have created a feeling of intense animosity against Miazza, Minister of Police, who is indifferent to public opinion, possessing his sovereign's confidence. On a late occasion the Duke of Birona, a well known person in Naples, was reported by a spy, who visited his house, as having spoken against the seventies of the police, whereupon his doorway was watched by police agents, and himself carefully looked after. The duke waited upon the King, and complained of these proceedings, stating that lie bad always been attached to the royal cause. His Majesty replied that that might be, but now ho was imbued with the spirit of opposition to the Government. _ Yesterday, the persons who on a late occasion accompanied a deceased deputy to the grave, were imprisoned for so doing. In fact, lam tired of narrating the injustice which takes place every day in this unhappy city. The King seems to be bent on bringing himself into trouble by offending all classes. The King and Government, as you are aware, are thoroughly Russian, and the Swiss soldiers are schooled to hate France and England. Every one is waiting to see what the French and English Governments will do about the insults lately offered to both countries. The Soprainten dante of S. Carlo, after the insult offered to Mr. Fagan by the Director of Police, is seen alone in his box—every one is afraid to pay him a visit. We hear that the Marquis Antonini, the Neapo litan ambassador in Paris, has reported a conversa tion he had lately with M. Walewski, the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, to the King, which did not please his Majesty.—Correspondent of the Morning Post. THE SOUND DOES. The following is the precise text of the Danish note addressed to the American Minister at Copen hagen, in reply to a communication in which no tice is given of the intended cancelling of the treaty which existed between the United States and Den mark : " Conformably to the wish which you expressed to me on the 14th August, I have the honour of announcing to you that I received on the same day the communication containing the notice that the President of the United States had denounced the treaty of amity, commerce, and n avigation which was first concluded on the 26th April, 1826, between Denmark and the United States, for a space of ten years, and for 12 months after its de nunciation. I sincerely share in your regret at seeing a treaty expire which has so long benefitted the interests of the inhabitants of the United States as well as the subjects of his Majesty. But lam charged to observe to you that my Government cannot admit the connection which is established by the Government of the United States between the suppression of the Sound dues and the treaty in question, which in reality regilates the rate at which the Sound dues are to he levied on Ame rican vessels, but of which the existence of the right on which that charge is founded is quite independent. As the Governuspnt of the United States has assumed the initiative in the denunciation of the treaty, the Govern ment of the King, my august master, hopes that over tures will be made to it for concluding a new treaty calculated to maintain the commercial relations which have hitherto so happily existed between the two na tions, and to prevent the consequence, as disastrous as int vitable, of the definitive extinction of this treatya con ; sequenc e which would cause the vessels of the United States in passing the Sound and the Belt to be treated ed as Tassels• of twat-favoured nations.A ecePtdlc " • • -- " PCIXII4:.
