The "key of the Russian position " is in the hands of our gallant Allies, and there seems to be no reasonable doubt that both the "Redans" and the whole of the south side of Sebastopol will speedily share the same fate. The despatch of General STMPSON, in which this satisfactory intelligence is communicated, is very brief, and our natural exultation is some what alloyed by the statement that " the attack of the English against the Redan did not succeed." From the more detailed acc , iunt of General PELIS• BIER we learn that the English " had carried the works of the Grand Redan with their usual vigour ;" but that, "like the French at the Redan of Careening flay, they were obliged to give way to the artillery of the enemy, and to his powerful reserves." it would, therefore, seem that our brave 'soldiers had been successful in the first in stance, that the impetuosity of their onslaught had overcome every obstacle, but that they had been unable to hold what they had so nobly ac- quired, and were compelled to withdraw for a 'time ! That it will only be "for a time" seems certain, inasmuch as the works are completely commanded by the Malakhoff, so that the moment the guns of the recent acquisition can be turned against the minor forts they must be evacuated. In fact, they will be just as untenable by the Rus sians as they were on Saturday by the English. The expression of General PELISSIER is too clear and unequivocal to admit of doubt. He says, " Our solid installation at the Malakhoff will soon cause the fall of the Redan of Careening Bay, as well as the Grand Redan ;" and any person who has made himself acqtiainted with the position of these forts will require but little evidence to satisfy him of the accuracy of the assertion. These are, indeed, satisfactory tidings ; and although we must be contented to wait patiently the full particulars, the simple fact that the eagles of France are now floating over the Malakhoff, which had previously offered so stubborn a re sistance, is more than sufficient to compensate for former disappointments. The Allied losses must. necessarily have been severe, but (we again quote from General i j ELISSIER'S despatch) " they are amply compensated by the taking of the Mala khoff, of which the consequences will be immense.,, It appears that the batteries opened fire at day light on Wednesday morning, and that the bom bardment was continued vigorously during the whole of Thursday and Friday. During the first day (Wednesday) a Russian frigate was set on fire in the Great Harbour and completely destroyed ; another Russian frigate was likewise destroyed on Friday ; and a large fire was burning on Saturday about the middle of the town of Sebastopol. A fearful explosion had also taken place, supposed to be one of the magazines on the north side, at a few minutes after one o'clock on the same morn ing. Great damage was thus inflicted on the enemy, who must have been thrown into complete confusion from their serious losses. Under such circumstances the final assault was made at noon on Saturday, and, as we have stated, was crowned with complete success. Its redoubts and the Redan of Careening Bay were speedily carried by our Allies ; while the English, who made what was probably a simultaneous attackon the Grand Redan, accomplished an equal triumph. Both the latter were, however, necessarily relinquished in conse quence of the severity of the fire from the positions by which the latter works were commanded. The Malakhcff was, however, effectually retained, and, consequently, the Russiati Fleet and the South side of the City must speedily f a ll b efore our fire. This brilliant triumph must soon terminate the progress of the W ar . any doubts respecting The Sebastopol problem has been virtually solved. The Northern Forts are still in the hands of the enemy, but they can now be completely environed, and the c ommunications with the covering army entirely cut off. Famine will then speedily ac cornplish our work, and the standing menace to Co n . stantinople and to Europe be razed to its founda t ion, so that not one stone • will be suffered to remain on another, nor will a single vessel of the once for midable Euxine Fleet, whose brutality at Sinope attracted such universal conde • mnation, escape retributive justice. as . tonish e d. if should feel, g reatly Austria wers to send fer*nt 'cont.alulatiotto the new triumph of the Allied arms ; but we can no longer be bamboozled by such fair-weather protestations, or attach any weight to the pro mises of a Power which has afforded so many unequivocal proofs of its duplicity and insincerity, whose strength, such as it is, will only be used on the winning side when the result is no longer doubtful, and when their tardy aid is more likely to embarrass than to benefit the victors. What the Allies have gained by their unassisted prowess will be applied for their own advantage, without caring for the wishes or remonstrances of despi cable neutrals or contemptible " Waiters on PRO- TEE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 10 1855. VIDENCE. " " Another attempt has been made on the life of the Imperial Ruler of France—or rather a cari cature resemblance of one of these atrocious out rages. A half insane but wholly mischievous mis creant, on Saturday evening, discharged two small pistols against one of the Imperial carriages, in which some of the Dames d'Honnettr were seated. It does not appear that either the carriage or any of its inmates were in any degree injured, or that it could be regarded as a serious attempt at regi cide, or anything more than a sickly effort to attract attention. The EMPEROR himself was in a different carriage ; and it is at present impos sible to say whether the offender fancied that he was really endeavouring to commit a crime that might have been attended with the most frightful consequences to the cause of liberty and civilisa tion all over the world. The scoundrel was at once seized by the police. It turned out that be was a native of Rouen, named BELLEMARRE, who, although young in years, was old in iniquity. He was only dis charged from prison in February last, after three years' incarceration, to which he bad been sen tenced for a libellous publication, denominated " Motives for the Condemnation to Death of Louis NAPOLEON." Previously be had been convicted of swindling, although only six teen years' of age, and sentenced to two years imprisonment. But there he experienced the clemency of the EMPEROR, and was discharged at the end of two months. It is said that on ex amination he appeared to be, if not a maniac, on the verge of imbecility, and scarcely accountable for his -actions. The travestied attempt will remind many of our readers of a similar outrage perpetrated by a humpy pot-boy, actuated by a morbid craving after notoriety, against our most gracious Sovn- REIGN. The remedy then suggested has ever since proved effectual against repetitions of the foul offence. It was felt that the vilest and most degrading description of punishment, that of personal flagellation, would be most suit able for the crime, and would prove most effectual in preventing parties from indulg , ing in such mock heroics. The efficacy of the remedy has been tested by experience. Those who might dare the extreme penalty of the law, worked up byan over-excited imagination, or possibly some worse motive, would shrink from the pain and ignominy of corporal punishment, publicly and soundly administered. There would be nothing very heroic in such a termination, and we believe that it would operate no less decisively in France than it has done in England. There was, happily, no mischief occasioned in the present instance ; but when we consider the inestimable value of the life against which its abortive demonstration was made, and the evil effects of such exhibitions, we should desire, that a degrading punishment inflicted on the perpetrator should alike mark the public detestation of the crime —and, what is more important, should ope .rate to deter all others from similar outrages, which would render them contemptible and ridiculous in the eyes of their fellow-suljeets and of Europe. Query—after all—whether we have gained so very much by the last re-organisation of her MAJESTY'S Government ? True, no doubt (and thank GOD for it !), we have contrived by that change to get rid of the Cabinet of All the Talents. But, in its place, have we not obtained, unhap pily, the Ministry of the Mediocrities ? Except ing the Prime Minister alone, there is Positively not one member of the Administration of more than second or third-rate importance. The ad vantages secured to the country by the recent fluttering of the Volscians in the Corioli of Down ing -street would appear to have been for the most part of a negative rather than of a positive cha racter. The arch-traitors have been driven out of office, it is true—condemned, some of them, to expiate their Ministerial crimes in the limbo of the Back Benches, while others have been banished by universal consent to that Coventry of the House of Commons, the seat below the gangway, sacred to the persons of the political bagmen of Manches ter. While, however, the principal delinquents have been dealt with thus summarily—,the small fry of their subordinates have, by a monstrous oversight, been left altogether unmolested. The underlings of place and party have been allowed to maintain their position, except in a few scat tered instances, here and there, observable upon very close examination, precisely as matters were under the evil rule of my Lord ABERDEEN, that Old Man of the Sea, so long saddled upon the shoulders of the Sinbad among the Nations of Christendom. Everything considered, indeed, we are well rid, by this last great act of Ministerial re-organisa tion, of much that was pernicious, pernicious even to a degree beyond the reach of exaggeration. But 'while we have lost much that was detrimental to the interests of the nation, it must be confessed that we have gained little enough that is in any way calculated to servo the purpose s of improved Go vernment. If Lord ABERDEEN was dull and obstinate, Lord PALMERSTON has shown himself to be both petu lant and frivolous. More than all which, he has proved himself at the very outset of his career, as First Lord of the Treasury, to be altogether as squeezable as ever were his old friend s the Whigs — a fact notorious ever since he strained at th e gnat of a Division, and thereupon, immediately afterwards, with a wry face and a miserable affec tation of indifference, swallowed the camel, in the shape of Mr. ROEBUCK'S Committee. Again—if we have no louger.at the head of our Admiralty a "land lubber" so egregiously ignorant as Sir JAMES GRAHAM showed himself to be, when he babbled about "vertical fire" from ordnance used on ship-board —we have the misery of knowing that the Royal Navy of England is, at this great crisis in our maritime destinies, presided over by the most Wood-en headed and incompetent of all our wooden-headed and incompetent Administra tors. Meanwhile—Chancery, with all its callow brood of law reforms, still continues to be watched from the snug nest of the woolsack, by a learned baron, whose continual hatching of plans and perpetual cackling over their excellence, provoke among the observant a ludicrous similitude be tween himself and good Dame PARTLET ! As to the Foreign Secretaryship, we might be tempted to exult, Without any sense of reservation what soever, over the c ircumstance of that all-important department being still confided to the guidance of the pat.:404442A teluity-01-40y4uorris °taus- DON, but that even hi- patriotism and sagacity have been in a manner tainted by association, during so prolonged and disastrous an interval, with the treasonous imbecility of his Aberdeenite co-administrators. Howbeit, it is altogether with very different sentiments, indeed, that we turn our glance from the Foreign-office, where Lord CLARENDON is still dominant, to the Horse Guards, where Lord HARDINGE has been only nominally so, from the ill-omened day when the Noble Viscount first undertook to wield the sword which had just then fallen from the slackened grasp of our dead WELLINGTON. From that moment in the con duct of our military affairs, the German, as every body knows, took precedence of the Anglo-Saxon. Britannia resigned her buckler and her brand, and with them even the yard measure and the goose of her army tailor, to the keeping of Alle mania ! All-a-mania we should rather call it, whether we look to absurd caps or absurder tunics, to that wretched "British German Legion" [hor rid conjunction of names !] paraded nowadays in the columns of the London Gazette, or to those craven trucklings to Austria, and Prussia, and Germanism-Rampant generally, in which origi nated the despicable Four Points and the conse quent Viennese Conferences. Rather than pause for any length of time in contemplation over the melancholy spectacle of this notorious gan grene in our military system—we would turn, in some sort of a half-despairing hope, to the Financial Department of her Majesty's Govern ment under the new regime, the regime of the Palmerstonians, as contradistinguished from that of their "identical predecessors," the Aberdeenites. Yet there, too, can be discerned but small reason for indulging in anything like unalloyed exulta tion—for if, in the person of Mr. GLADSTONE, we have got rid of a hair-splitting and crotchetty experimentalist (who, besides this, has proved himself a traitor to the national cause by evi dencing his sympathy for the enemies of our com mon land, the foes, too, of our heroic Allies the French, and for that matter, indeed, the threat eners of the peace of Europe and of the liberties of Christendom), we have seen inducted into his vacated office, not some eminent master of finan cial tactics, but the dreariest of metaphysicians, and the dullest of all known editors of any of our chief quarterly periodicals. Compelled to pronounce ourselves thus du biously in regard to any hypothetical improve ment discernable among so many of the princi cipal departments of the Administration— what on earth can, with any show of reason, be said in commendation of the change effected is the most important of all at this most imminent juncture, meaning thereby, of course, the War Department. Unable anywhere to discover a CAnNOT for the crisis, Lord PALMERSTON replaced simultaneously the Duke of NEWCASTLE and Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT, by nominating as the successor of both that astounding administrator, Lord PAN MURE—an administrator utterly astounding to the country at large, if for no reason from the extraordinary fact of his inaugurating his accession to power, after a series of deplorable disasters arising out of the incompetency of his prede cessors, by boldly avowing that his policy would be identical with that which had just brought dis grace and almost infamy upon the Duke of NEW CASTLE. Supposing this insensate avowal, how ever, to be insufficient of itself as an indication of the questionable advantages resulting, in this instance at least, from the last general re-organisa tion of the Government, we may turn, as for some more signal illustration of the fact, to the nomination by Lord PANMURE either of a most incompetent or of a most unpatriotic subordinate to the responsible office of Storekeeper at the Ordnance. Either, we say, and it is common germ.) that drives us perforce to one or other of these conclusions—either this Storekeeper at the Board of Ordnance is a most incompetent or a most unpatriotic servant of the Administration. Otherwise the national interests would never :lave been paltered with, as they have unquestionably been paltered with just now in the Baltic—where our gigantic fleet, a fleet costing us actu illy nit less than 30,0001. per diem, has been left in the lurch, placed hors de combat, deprived of the chance of following up its partial success at Sweaborg, be cause, forsooth, this singularly competent and won derful patriotic Storekeeper had-not subjected the country to an additional expenditure of merely 2,5001.--(the merest bagatelle, when taken into account with this daily disbursement of 30,0001. upon the Baltic Fleet exclusively)—an additional expenditure of 2,500/. for about 500 13-inch mortars with which to have replaced those used up, burst, honeycombed, and crystallised by the thundering ordeal of the bombardment. Where fore, we ask, was there no such provision for an emergency like this, an emergency that was known to be inevitable ? Wherefore, but that the pre sent Storekeeper at the Board of Ordnance must be a man either monstrously incompetent, or, worse than that, disgracefully unpatriotic ! And for the nomination of this man to the important office, the affairs of which he has so ill adminis tered, who else can be held responsible than the Right Hon. Fox MAULS, Baron PANMURE, the War Minister of this boasted Cabinet of Palmer stonians ? Enough, surely, has been here indi cated to justify every syllable by which we have hinted a doubt as to the loyal ardour in the course of the Great War against Russia, whether of the chiefs or of the subordinates of the Administra tion. Enough, we conceive, has been here re marked to enforce, and that, moreover, rather deplorably, the regret already expressed by us, that wo should only have replaced the Cabinet of All the Talents by the Ministry of the Mediocrities, The Duchess of Sutherland has joined the noble duke at Dunrohin Castle, N.B. ; and a select family party, in- cluding the Marquis and Marchioness of Stafford, the Earl and Lady C instance Grosvenor, and Lady Than tyre, will shortly meet at the ducal seat. The Marquis and Marchioness of Breadalbane will receive a succession of visitors at Tayinouth Castle during the mouth. The Marquis of Theeddale has arrived at Yester House, Haddingtonshire, N. 8., from Kimbolton Castle, Huntingdon, where the noble and gallant marquis pro ceeded to attend the funeral of the late Duke of Man chester. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge has arrived at 11-oderick Castle, Isle of Arran, on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Hamilton, who are entertain ing a distinguiThed circle at their ancient family Feat. The royal duke reached the castle, on Friday last, from St. James's Palace. Her Royal Highness the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, accompanied by her youthful family, leaves the Duchess of Cambridge's residence at Kew, to-day, on her return to join the Hereditary Grand Duke at Strelitz. His Imperial Highness Prince Charles Lucien Bona parte (Prince of Canino), it is expected, will arrive in Glasgow early in the present week, to attend the meeting of the British Association in that city. The Duke and Duchess of Norfolk have, during the last fortnight, received a select circle at Glossop, Derby shire. Lord and Lady Foley and the Hon. Adelaide Foley, and Lord and Lady Edward Fitzalan, have been among the guests. It has been finally arranged that Mr. Duffy, M.P., the e n u m the n t h a t n o d svaocfa vacate Mr.h s M: e lN a l t ah f o o n r , New s whenever n sh e a ce ll ssa p r l y ace d his oi constituents are prepared with a candi date to return in his stead. A LOCOMOTIVE FOR BATUSLAVA.—A small locomo tive engine called "the Alliance" was sent from the railway foundry, Leeds, on Friday, for Balaklava. The engine is what is called a tank engine, with 11-inch cylinders, 17 inches stroke, six wheels of three feet dia meter, all coupled. It was purchased a few days ago by a Government agent. The words " the Alliance," and the national flags `of England, France, lur4(ly, and Saidiiia were painted 011 the engine. AFFAIRS AT ST. PFtriiibSßUAG. A hatter frorn St. Petersburg of the 30th ult., in the Constitutiommel, says : Bankruptcies succeed bankruptcies here—the Tribunal has declared 20 to-day. The public establishments of credit appear, however, to suffer less, if the official re port of the Minister of Finance can be relied on. He lately stated to the Council of the State Institutions of Credit that, notwithstanding existing circumstances, the banks continue their operations with Satisfa , :tory results. Thus, for example, in the savings haLk there was an increase of 3,156,674 silver roubles in the last financial year (the silver rouble is upwards of 4 fr.), in the depot bank there was no diminution, and in the deposit bank there was an increase of 5,552,808 roubles. These figures are printed in the report ; it remains to be seen what has become of the money which they re present. Moreover, the Minister announces that the loan of 50,000,000 roubles has been realised, and that the repayment of it will comm-nce in 1857. He informs us that the amount of the state debt is 476,615,039 roubles. The operations of the commercial bank have increased their profits by 1,236,145 roubles, but this is a small result, 600,000,000 of capital having been employed to obtain it.; and this is a proof how much Russia suffers from the present war. The Grand Duke Nicolas Nicolajewitch is at present building a splendid palace. Marbles of Finland and Siberia have been ordered for this new ornament of the Russian capital. It is said that the Prince will soon be married, but the report that was current recently, that he was about to marry the . daughter of the Grand Duke Peter of Oldenburg, appears premature. PRINCE NAPOLEON BONAPARTE. PLYMOUTH, Sunday Evening.—His Imperial Majesty's yacht Ariel, Captain De Beaulieu, which left Cherbourg at 3 o'clock this morning, arrived in the Sound at 7 this evening, having on board Prince Napoleon and suite, consisting of Colonel Do Marest, Captain De Laroucherrs, R.N., Colonel Cypriani, of the Piedniontese army, Dr. Yran • and Commander Eery Pisany. The yacht pro ceeded into Hamoaze, and his Highness landed imme diately and went to the Government-house, Mount Wise, where he was received by Port Admiral Sir Wil liam Parker, Bart., G.C.B. It is stated to be the intention of the Prince to visit several English ports. The yacht is to be ready for de parture at 10 o'clock to-morrow (Monday) morning. REPORTED LOSS OF H.M.S. WOLVERINE. The steam-ship Daniel Webster, of the Nicaraguan line, arrived at New York on the 27th, brought news of the loss of her Majesty's sloop Wolverine, Commander John Corbett, 12 guns. The folio wing is the statement on the subject published by the New York papers : "On the night of the 14th a terrific hurricane swept over the Mo,quito Coast, involving the total loss of her Britannic Majesty's sloop-of-war Wolverine. Her cutter reached San Juan del Sur on the 16th with despatches for the steam frigate Buzzard, lying in that harbour, to render immediate assistance, and she left for the scene of disaster as soon as steam was got up." Some of the circumstances mentioned in this paragraph give ground for hope that the loss of the ship may nut be so coMPlete as here affirmed, or at least that alt lives are saved. EXTRA FIELD ALLOWANCE TO TIIE ARIJY. VICTORIA. R.—Whereas, we deem it expedient to grant a field allowance to the non-commissinned offi cers and soldiers, of our regular army, when engaged in active operations in the field against an enemy our will and pleasure is, that from the let day of July, 1855, every non-commissioned officer and soldier then staving, in the field, and every otherzon•cowmissioned officer and soldier from the date of arrival at the seat of war, shall be entitled to a field allowance of 6d. a day in addition to his daily pay, to be continued to him so long as be shall remain on active duty in the geld. During the period of a non-commissioned officer or soldier being in, hospital his field allowance will cease, but will be allowed from the 'day he returns to duty in the field. Given at our Court at St. James's, the 16th day of August, 1855, in the 19th year of our reign.—By her Majesty's com mand. PANAIIIRE. TIM LATE ATTACK ON SITEABORI. The Emperor of ii,usSia'has addressed to General Berg the following letter : " Your distinguished and assiduous services for the throne has shown itself by new exemplary activity since the time when the chief government of Finland was en trusted to you through our confidence. By the quick and efficacious measures which you have taken for the security of this our dear and faithful principality, you have shown'your circumspection, your untiring assidui':y, and military experience. The unsucces,ful attack of the powerful Anglo. French fleet against Sweaborg has now served as a brilliant example of your judicious measures, as well as of the capabilities •of the brave defenders of the fortress. As a proof of our monarchical favour for your services, I nominate you Knight of the Order of the Saint Apostle Andreas with swords, and send you herewith the insignias, and remain with our Imperial greeting always well inclined, " ALEXANDER." THE.HARVEST' AND THE LABOUR MARKET. MALIN, Saturday Morning.—Nothing can be more satisfactory than the tone of all the agricultural reports received this morning from the provinces. In the ex tensive county of Cork the reaping of the harvest has been nearly completed, and upon the whole, it is said, there is no reason to be dissatisfied eit :er with the yield or quality, especia,by uAisidering the unpropitious wea ther with which the harvest season opened. Tile potato crop, too, in the same district. though not entirely tin injured by disease, is yet far more abondaet and healthy than could have been expected. From `the midland the accounts are no less cheering, hut in all quarters complaints continue of the scarcity of hands, and of the enormous wages which the farmers are com pelled to pay for manual labour. Half-a•crown a-day, with board, seems to be the minimum standard, anti but few are fortunate to secure at this rate a supply sufficient fez. the demand ; in many instances employers are but too happy to raise the premium to a much higher figure. In Kildare and the Queen's County the scythe is being generally substituted for the sickle, and the experiment is said to have been eminently successful, even when the work is executed by raw practit-oners. A practical agriculturist, Mr. James Clapperton, is of opinion that ere long the reaping book must be superseded to a large extent in Ireland by the scythe and reaping machine:4 He writes " We are getting oats cut by the ficythe just now for 7s. 6d. per Irish acre, for mowing ? binding, stooking, and raking, while it is costing us 245. per acre by the hook, with the same crop and in the same field." The weather up to this forenoon is still favourable, and the mercury is steady in the barometer at "set fair." ARRIVAL OF THE EAGLE FROM AUSTRALIA.—LIVER POOL,Sunday.—This day the clipper ship Eagle (Capt. Murphy), belonging to Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co., arrived in the Mersey from Melbourne. She sailed from that port May 31, and has brought 44,000 oz. of gold on freight. On July 21 spoke the Boomerdane, in lat. 24 S., and long. 27 W., and remained in company three days. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.—On Saturday Mr. Carter held an inquest on the body of Mr. John Day, aged 27, son of Mr. John Day, of Grove-park, Camber , well. Oa the let instant the' deceased was one of a boat ing party, whose wherry was unfortunately upset about a (mile below Putney-bridge. The rest of the party managed to escape, but the deceased was net seen again until his body was discovered upon the piles of West minster-bridge. Verdict, " Accidental death." DEATH OF ALDERMAN KELLY.—lnformation reached town on Saturday evening that Mr. Alderman Kelly had died somewhat suddenly on the previous afternoon, at Margate, whither he had gone for a few days. Mr. Alderman Kelly was in his 84th year, and has repre sented the ward of Farringdon Within as alderman for 25 years. MARSHAL RADETZKI last week feted his fiftieth anni versary of his promotion to the grade of general. He is 89 years of age, and has served 71 years. In reply to an autograph letter from the Emperor Francis Joseph, congratulating him on the restoration of his health, the old general has requested to be allowed to retire. ACQUIT CAL OF THE LUXEMBOURG RAILWAY DIRECTORS. Friday.—The Tribunal Currectinnnel has acquitted the directors of the Luxembourg B,ailway of the charge of embezzlement. John Ashwell, a; being already proscribed ; William Mag,ney and John Ma,ter man, because offence not sufficiently proven by evidence. The last advices from Adelaide, South Australia, give some particulars of the progress of the efforts to develops the navigation of the River Murray. The waters had risen sufficiently for practical purposes, and the Murray River Navigatinn Company were about to raise sub scriptions for a general extension of operations. At present their fleet consisted of 13 vessels, comprising four steamers of between 40 and 50 horse power, eight barges of from 120 to 150 tons burden, and a schooner of 100 tons. A railway was also contemplated to con nect the Murray with the city and port of Adelaide, about 40mile e sii length, two-thirds of which will be upon a dead level. LIVERPOOL, Sept, B.—The United States' mail steamer Baltic, Comstock commander, sailed hence this morning with a full cargo, the usual mnile, and 190 passengers, among whom was his Excellency Alfonso Escalenta, Ambassador Extraordinary from Madrid to the Court at Washington. The steam-ship Lebanon, Capt. Cork, arrived to-day with advices from New York to the same dates as those brought by the Union to Southampton this morning. FATAL ACCIDENT AT UXBRIDGE-HOUSE. -- On Saturday Mr. Langham held an inquest at St. George's Hospital, en the body of a carpenter, named Samuel Jones, aged 49, recently employed under Mr. W.

WAR DEPARTMENT, SEPT. 9 , Lord Panmure has received the following in. telligence from General Simpson, dated CRIMEA, SEPT. 8, 11.35 P.m. The Allied Forces attacked the defences of Se bastopol this day at 12 o'clock. The assault on the Malakhoff has been success ful, and the work is in possession of the French. The attack of the English against the Redan did not succeed. WAR DEPARTMENT, SEPT. 8. Lord Panmure has received the following in. telligence from General Simpson, dated CRIMEA, SEPT. 8. Another Russian frigate was destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon in the great harbour. A large fire is burning about the middle of the town this morning. Last night about 1.5 o'clock a great explosion took place, supposed to have been one of the enemy's magazines on the north side. PARIS, SUNDAY, SEPT. 9. The Minister of War has received the following despatches : CRIMEA, SEPT. 6, 10 P.M. Our fire against the place continues under fa vourable conditions. Our losses are very small. Nothing new has occurred on the lines of the Tchernaya. - The enemy is not preparing any movemen there. CRIMEA, SEPT. 7, 10 P.M. The fire of our artillery has been kept up for the last 24 hours. A French shell to-day set fire to a Russian fri. gate, which is burning at the present moment. PARIS, MONDAY. The Moniteur publishes the followi❑g account of the storming of Sebastopol. It is from Gene- ral Pelissier : The assault was made at 12 o'clock on Saturday on the Malakhoff. Its redoubts and the Redan of Careening Bay were carried by our brave soldiers with admirable enthusiasm. Amidst cries of " Vive I'Etnpereur," we at once set about lodging ourselves securely there, and at the Malakhoff we have succeeded. But the Redan of Careening Bay could not be kept in face of the powerful artillery which swept away the first occupants of that work. Our solid installation at the Malakhoff will soon cause the fall of the Redan of Careening Bay as well as the grand Redan, of whicll our brave allies carried the works with their usual vigour. But, like ourselves at the Redan of Careening Bay, they were obliged to give way to the artillery of the enemy, and to his powerful reserves. When we saw our eagles floating over the Ma. lakhoff, General de Salles made two attacks on the Central Bastion ; they did not succeed, and his troops returned to the trenches. Our losses are severe, but I cannot yet state tht , m. They are amply colnpensa,ted by the taking of the Alalakhoff, of which the consequences will be immense. ST. PETERSBURG, SEPT. 7. Prince Gortschakoff announces from Sebas topol, under date of Wednesday, the sth, in the evening :--" This morning the enemy opened a very sharp fire on our right flank. Afterwards their fire was extended to the left. Our batteries replied with vigour. This evening the fire of the enemy has slackened." CONSTANTINOPLE, Auct. 30. Achmot Paella, Commander-in-Chief of the Roumelian army, has left for the Crimea, to suc ceed Omer Pacha. The Anglo-Ottoman Contingent will follow. ATTEMPT ASSASSINATE THE FRENCH EMPEROR. PARIS, SUNDAY, 8 A.m. The Moniteur publishes the following :-- His Majesty the Emperor attended a represen. tation at the Italian Opera last night. At the moment the carriage is which were the Ladies of Honour of her Majesty the Empress stopped in front of the theatre an individual standing on the foot pavement opposite fired, without taking aim, two small pocket-pistols at the carriage. No one was hit. The person, who appears to be a mani-te rather than an assassin, was imme- diately arrested." PARIS, SUNDAY, SEPT. 9, 8 P.M. The name of the individual arrested is Belle rnarre. He is about 22 years of age, and was born at Rouen. When he was 16 he was sen tenced to two years' imprisonment for swindling. At the expiration of two months the Em peror, then President of the Republic, commuted his sentence. He pretends to have afterwards taken an ac tive part in the events of the 2d of December, to have fought behind one of the barricades of the Rue Ratnbuteau. At that time placards having in large cha racters Motives for the Condemnation to Death of Louis Napoleon' were seized by the police. During the examination Bellemarre declared himself to be the author of those placards. Since he left prison, in February last, he lived at Paris under a false name, and had ac cepted an appointment as clerk to M. Jeanne, con stable. Bellenaarre is a man of delicate constitution and of vulgar appearance. His antecedents, his language, his attitude after his arrest and during the examination, show that he is really a maniac. • He had takelku,p plaice at OA sarace of the Rue M irsollier on the foot pavement opposite to the entrance of the theatre, and he fired his two pistols at the moment when the cries of "Vivo l'Empereur" made Ulf fancy that the carriage which conveyed the Ladies of Honour of the Empress was that of his Majesty. A city policeman on duty at this point in stantly pulled down the assassin's arm and cap tured him at once. Bellemarre was first taken to the police-office at the Italian Theatre, and at once, M. Pietri, Prefect of Police, presiding, a first statement was drawn up by the Commissary of Police of the district. The assassin is locked up in a cell at the Conciergerie, where he is undergoing an exami nation. The investigation continues. His Majesty the Emperor, on his entrance into the theatre, where the news of this criminal attempt was immediately known, was greeted with shouts of " Vive l'Empereur 1" and by rounds of applause, which were renewed at intervals. His Majesty only remained about one hour at the theatre, and then proceeded to the Palace of the Tuileries. The Constitictionne/ announces the occurrence in the same words. I have ascertained from pri vate sources the following particulars : Yesterday evening a considerable crowd was assembled in front of the Italian Theatre, in con sequence of the intimation conveyed by the words, "By order," on the bills, that the Emperor would be present to see Madame Riston's last perform ante this season. Notwithstanding reiterated orders that a considerable clear space should be kept around the door of any place where the Em peror alights from his carriage, the crowd was allowed on.this occasion to press very near to the doors of the theatre. At a quarter to nine o'clock a court carriage and four horses arrived, which was very naturally supposed by many to contain the Emperor himself, but in fact there were in it only some of the Empress's ladies of honour. At the moment when the coachman drew up along side the steps leading to the front door of the theatre, a young man, in a blouse and grey cap, stepped forward, drew a pistol from his pocket, placed the muzzle almost close to the carriage window, fired, and broke the glass. Immediately afterwards he raised a second pistol, but as he was in the act of firing a sergent de rifle struck his arm down, and the charge entered the ground, An inst !,nt later the man was seized, handcuffed, and lodged in the guardhouse of the theatre. The ladies, as they stood on the steps of the doorway, on descending from the carriage, audibly thanked Providence that the Emperor had escaNcl. About five minutes after this occurrence the Empe ror arrived, and being struck by the sound of un usually loud and prolonged cries of " Vive l'Em pereur !" inquired the cause. On being told what had happened, :his Majesty instantly ordered the coachman to drive all round the theatre. The Imperial carriage accordingly, amid the cheering of the public, made the entire circuit of the Place Ventadour before his Majesty alighted. On en tering the house the Emperor said, ' Let nut a word be said to the Empress, and keep back the telegraphic despatches." Dr. Conneau was immediately despatched to St. Cloud, where the Empress was, to take care that the first part of this order was obeyed. Before the Emperor reached the box the news of the event had spread throughout the theatre. The report of the pistols was indeed distinctly heard in the saloon, the windows of which were open, and where a good many people were assembles to see the Emperor arrive. His Majesty was there fore received with great cheering when he ap peared in front of the Imperial box. A delay of some minutes occurred before the performance commenced. This was ascertained to be occa sioned by Madame Ristori having fainted away on hearing what had happened. The idea that the Emperor bad run such a risk, by kindly announc ing his intention of being present at her farewell, was too much for her. She, however, soon re covered, and played Maria Stuarda and the come dietta of J. Gelosi Fortunati as admirably as ever. The Emperor left the house at half-past 10. FRANCE, We have received the oniteur of yesterday. It puhlishes the following despatch from Admiral Bruat "CRINIEA, SEPT. 6. " The capta)2 of frigate Huchet de Cintre, command. ing the Milan, has informed me th:tt the Milan and Caton have destroyed in the Sea of Azoff, from Temriank to Dolga, 43 fisheries, 127 !.,nats, some thousand nets, tar, salt, and an immense quantity of casks. Four fisheries .only have escaped destruction ; the Aallowne•s of the water di-1 not all ,w our vessels to approach them. The damage done to the enemy may he estimated at some milions. The fishery tr,de in the Sea of Azoff gives rise to a considerable export tra.ls, which extends to Poland. The destruction which has been dom.: will render it impossible-1f 'r this year. "Commander Clime, of the Brandon, on his part joined Captain Osborne, of the Vesuvius, to send their boats up the gulf of Oakliouk, and to burn the provender collected there on the coa-t. All the commanders of our vessels congratulate themselves on being on so friendly a footing with Captain Osborne." The following is the letter of Prince Murat alluded to in my letter of Sunday last, on the pam phlet advocating the claims of the Prince to the throne of Naples. The letter was addressed to his nephew and is inserted in the brochure in question, which is entitled, " Question Italienne : Murat et les Bourbons" : " My dear Nephew,—Since it appears to you (as to me) that I am the only possible solution, I am forbidden all initiative. He mu t be a fool who argues from the fact of his being born on the steps of the throne that the crown belongs to him, or who consider-, an entire people AA his beritage—as his property, just as a private itidi dual: would a flock of sheep. Let Italy call upon me, and I shall be proud to serve her. I will add, that she will never find others that will serve her better than myself. Her enemies are mine, and there is a terrible account to settle between us. But, if Italy makes souther choice; I shall not The le;;S pray for her happiness ; and I shall be ready to give the la=t drop of my blood to contribute to her success. Happy is he who shall be the elect of Italy: his mi-sion i , easy. Be prudent, and remember this maxim, which is not the less true because it is old— ' Noblesse oblige.' "L. MIIRAT." The Emperor has received a letter from the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, announc ing the birth of a son. 'Prince Napoleon yesterday visited the Ariel go vernment steamer, which having been placed at the disposal of Prince Jerome, had entered the port of Havre the preceding day from Cherbourg. A very pretty anecdote is going the rounds of fashionable society in Paris. I give it as I heard it, without being able to assert its correctness. The Empress said to the Prince of Wales, " I should like to give you something before you leave Paris —can you think what it shall be ?' " A looking glass," replied the Prince. "And why a looking glass ?" exclaimed the Empress. " Because," rejoined the Prince,, " I should know it had re flected yourself; and I should prize it accord ingly." " Abd-el-Kader," says the Gazette de Lyons, " still suffers exceedingly from cholerine. He re fuses to lie in bed, and remains extended on the ground, with his bead resting against the wall. He refuses to follow the prescriptions of his medical attendants, and replies to all their re presentations by the well-known phrase of the Mahometan, If lam to die, I must die; for so it is written.' He takes a little chicken broth from time to time, and that is all. He talks of leaving for Paris in a day or two, if he can possibly support' the journey." One of the Rhone steamers proceeded on Thurs day t. , Marseilles with a considerable cargo of pre served meats for the army of the East. Sh e a l so carried with her 25 hospital atte n d an t s, an d a number of cases filled with old linen, lint, and me dicaments.

The news from the Crimea are to the 28th. The letter of the Emperor of the French to General Pelissier had produced a great sensation in the army. The works of the ailies were within ten yards of the Malakhoff tower, the batteries of which colvd not, consequently, fire on them. The Russians were obliged to fire from their forfifications on the other side of the hay. The French Imperial Guard had fired itself on the Tenernaya, another attack being expected there.
