ROYAL LYCEUM THEATRE. —THIS EVENING, and every evening during the "week, the GRAND ELEUSINIAN SPECTACLE of MAGIC and MYSTERY, by Professor ANDERSON, the Great Wizard of the North, in. 12 acts, with ever-changing variety .of incidents, continuous surprises, novel and extraordinary effects. Magic and Mystery is an entirely new entertainment, pos 'easing distinctive characteristics and pecudar phases of amusement. It is not a monologue, for the audience them wives perform their parts with the principal actor, some of them on the stage and others in front ; it is not an exhibition, for though everything becomes metamorphosed before the eyes of the visitors no one can be positive that he sees any one thing ; but it is a comedy really performed by the corn- , paw ; a melodrama replete with startling positions and unex pec,zed denouements ; a magnificent spectacle, with 2,000 of Vie public every night to app,ar as auxiliaries ; and an ex travaganza, in which all that seems to be is entirely beyond the bounds of probability. Professor Anderson returns his thanks to thronged and fashionable audiences which have nightly filled the Lyceum Theatre to overflow, and by means of whose generous aid he has been enabled to announce Magic and Mystery for con tinuous repetition. He believes that no professor of his art has at any time or in any place been honoured with an amount of success so extensive, so decided, and so unusual. He would attribute that success to three causes ; first, that - 21 his present entertainment he has placed before his visitors he results of a life sedulously devoted to the attainment of perfected skill in one peculiar art, and to perfect which Fe has travelled the globe in every clime ; secondly, that he has spared no trouble nor expense to put this entertainment on the stage in the most elaborate manner, by the employment of the first mechanicians and artists of the day ; and thirdly, that, while endeavouring to provide amusement for those who honour him with their presence, he has not forgotten that it is possible to afford information also, and that the oppor tunity should not be neglected of exposing conjuring where over it has been used for nefarious purposes, or whenever by resertiag to the conjuror's arts, in an illegitimate manner, .the designing have succeeded in making dupes of the credulous. The 937 letters on the subject of spirit-rapping, which Pro fessor Anderson has received, from the time of opening the theatre up to the present date, bear witness to the great in- • terest taken on the subject of this singular delusion ; whilst many of them bear melancholy evidence to the dangers which attend a belief in the - superstitious nonsense of the " Spiri tualists." Judging simply by the correspondence which has resulted, Professor Anderson's expose of spirit-rapping and his illustration of the so-called table phenomena, have pro duced a sensation unequalled by any previous attempt to ex pose a mischievous and impudent juggle. It is impossible for Professor Anderson to reply at length to a tithe of the communications which reach him on the subject. He regrets that many of these should come from ladies and gentlemen who, from their position in society and their well-known in tellectual attainments, he would least have expected to have been converts to a belief so preposterous in itself, and so easily susceptible of being controverted and disproved. Every evening, from the Lyceum stage, Mr. Anderson's opinions on spirit-rapping are expressed, and every evening, within the Lyceum, how tables can be made to rap is exhibited and elucidated. It is respectfully requested that this public exposition will be accepted generally as Professor Anderson's only mode of replying at full length to his multitudinous correspondents. He regrets that the names of the great and learned of the land should have been made to figure in the documents emanating from the spirit-rappers, as for instance the following, ex tracted from the Morning Advertiser of Thursday, Septem ber 20, and taken by that journal from the New York Spiri tual Telegraph. It purports to emanate from an American spirit-rapper, Mr. D. D. Hume :—" Sir David Brewster frankly confesses that he is sorely puzzled' at what he has witnessed, and Lord Brougham acknowledges himself to be thoroughly nonplussed. Both of these noted men- brought the whole force of their keen discernment to bear upon the volution of the phenomena; but the preseece of substantial, actual hands, and the demonstrative strength of the spirits who thus clothed themselves for the time, and moved mate rial objects about the room, proved to be too much of a ques tion for them to master." Mr. D. D. Hume, the author of the above, has recently left England, and the following account of who, and what he is, occurs in the Family herald, No. 648: This young man, who is a Scotchman by birth, and now in Italy, is a remarkable medium for all the manifestations without apparatus. Barnum, who is wel-known throughout the Anglo-Saxon world as a splendid humbug, offered him 2,000 dollars per annum if he would perform at his museum in New York. Barnum then took it for granted that mediums could be bought. He was somewhat astonished when his offer was refused. Hume, on telling the fact in London lately, simply and honestly remarked, that the money would have been very acceptable to him, for he was poor, young (under 21, an or phan, and in very bad health : but he would have been afraid of losing his power as a medium, and he would sooner lose his life. The refusal, however, made Barnum thoughtful. Ho inquired into the subject ; and now Barnum, one of the greatest humbugs in the world, and withal a conjuror, is one of the firmest believers in spiritualism." It is cer tainly surprising to find such a paragraph as this in the editorial article of an established journal, the editor of whom might be supposed to be sane. Even if Barnum does believe in spirit-rapping- - does spirit-rapping gain or lose by this accession to its adherents ? and, with Barnum's endorse ment to it, is this bill, drawn on public credulity, more likely to be negotiated? Professor Anderson would believe not : but, when he finds that educated clergymen of the Church of England have the temerity to subscribe their names to so gross a,swindle, when he finds that the incumbent of Wortley (the Rev. N. J. Godfrey) positively asserts his belief in it, and writes a book on the subject, he considers it t be time for him to state that which ho knows of the mechanism by which it is effected, and the mischief to which it tends. In the Morning Advertiser of October 3 appears a letter from Sir David Brewster, relative to that which he saw at Cox's Hotel, in company with Lord Brougham. He distinctly states that which the Wizard of the North •proclaims every night—that spirit-rapping is nothing more than conjuring applied to bad purposes. In the Morning Advertiser of the following day however, there is an answer to Sir David's letter from one who was present when he and Lord Brougham had their seance with the spirits, in which the writer says, that " the table (a,large dinner-table, I believe) moved about in the most extraordinary manner, and, among other things, a large ac cordion was conveyed by an invisible agency to my hand and then to Lord Brougham's, in which, held by his lordship's right hand, apart from any person, it played an air through out." With such a statement, printed for the edification of the people of the 19th century, with the facts before us that the most talented men of the day are permitting themselves to be deluded by these juggling spirit-mongers—that the greatest novelist of the age is now engaged in making it the subject of a new work, and that a " spiritual convention" has actually been advertised to be held in St. Martin's-hall, Professor Anderson trusts that his exposures of the spiritual ists of America, as given him nightly at the Lyceum, will be received by the people of England as genuine honest" at tempts to provide an antidote for the bane of the spiritual jugglers. . In the course of the last five weeks 100,017 persons have visited the Lyceum Theatre,—a larger number, it is believed, than has ever before been assembled within its walls in so short a period. Magic and Mystery is repeated every even ing, the programme being continually changed. Grand f ashionable Day Performance, on Saturday, October 27, at 2 o'clock ; the programme being thus arranged ; Part I.—Act 1. The Mesmeric Couch : or, the Clinical Capabilities of the Atmosphere : in which the Wizard will do by magic that which some suppose to be effected by mesmer ism, and illustrate the possibility of sleeping unsupported in the air. Act 2. The Aqua-Avial Paradox ; exemplifying the power of predicing animated nature from fire and water only, and the possibility of eliciting from the simplest elements the most complex forms of ornithological existence. Act 3. Le Livre des Reeueils Choisies : or, Puck's Own Pocket Book, with Puck himself within it. Typifying the evening's entertainment in the production of the very volu minous from a small volume, in the extraction of magnitude - out of minuteness, in developing bulk where no space appears for its existence, in discovering odd things in odd places, and in bringing forth unexpected wonders from tire most unlikely place for to be found. Act 4. Magical Locomotion ; or, Transition without Trou ble. In which will be comprised—the Adventures of a Wed ding Ring, the Peregrinations of a Bank Note, the Transfor mation—black into white, and the Discovery of every Article in the position which would seem the most inappropriate. - Act 5. L'Fcrin de Verre; or, the Casket of Crcesus. Into which, though made entirely of glass perfectly transparent, and suspended so as to be visible to the eyes of all present, the Wizard will cause the money of his visitors to transport itself; and rain into the casket, though its lid be closed, locked, and the key in the possession of the audience. Act 6. Clairvoyance Extraordinary ; or, the Transparency of Opacity. Act. 7. A New Bottle of Bacchus ; or, the Novel Wine ' and Spirit Store. An improvement upon the " inexhaustible bottle," inasmuch as the Wizard s bottle will not only be in exhalistible, but will change its c on t en t s , ad infinitum , at the - word of command, pro ducin g soda-wa ter, butter-milk, Epsom salts, Port, Sherry, brandy, gi soyeau, or any other wine or spirit requ ired m a ' nd vh fi i n s a k l 3 l; proving to be filled with pocket handkerc hiefs perfectly dry, and occupying the whole space when tightly pac ked . E Act 8. Half an Hour with the Spirits ; .t.rn o p r p , in a: Spirit-rapping. Introducing the spire table x s é an o d f tocsin of the invisibles. Act. 9. Grand Mystic Amalgam, in which the property of the Wizard's patrons will undergo some strange metamor ' phones, and, amongst others, their handkerchiefs become transformed into the flags of victory—the banners of Eng land, France, Turkey, and Sardinia. Act. 10. The Enchanted Chair of Comas, in which he who seats himself will be under the magic spell, and appear to the audience, under circumstances least expected, in a posi tion as peculiar as perplexing. Act. 11. The Mystery of the Charmed Chest ; or, the Nucleus of the Night's Wonders. To comprehend which the audience will have the goodness to observe, in an earlier part of the evening, the chest suspended (like Mahommed's coffin) i n mid-air, into which all things will travel, and out of which • all will produced. Act. 12. The Homological Evaporation ; or, the Shortest Route to the Antipodes. Illustrating the easiest mode of ridding ourselves of a troublesome friend, and the advantages of the newly-discovered dia-terrestrial passage from the west ern to the eastern hemisphere.

OPERAT lONS AGAivsr THE RUSSIAN SQUADRON IN THE PACIFIC. - - The following account of the movements of our fleets in the Pacific has reached us from a corre spondent in China : " It will be borne in mind that last year an unsuccess ful at ack was made on the Russian settlement of Petro paulovski by the Pacific squadron under Admiral Price. From all that can be learnt, we may expect to hear of further operations against the same place by his emcee slr, Admiral Bruce, part of the China fleet having been detached to assist him. Our information as to the enemy's force in these distant seas is singularly incom plete. A-line-of-battle ship (the Ingermanland) is said to be there, but has never been seen. The Diana frigate was lost during an earthquake at Sirnoda in November, 1854, and their remaining vessels appear to be—Pallas, 50; D wina, 22 ; Oltenitza, 22 ; Aurora, 44 ; Vostock, 3or 5, and three or four snore from Sitka, mostly schooners or store:ll4R. The force of the station and at its disposition consists of three frigates—the Win chester, 50 (flag) ; Sybilie, 40 ; Spartan, 26 ; five sailing eloops—Comus, 14 ; Racehorse, 14 ; Bitters, 12 ; Gre cian, 12 ; Rapid, 8 ; and five steam slonps—Hornet, 17 screw) ; Encounter, 14 (screw) ; Rattler, 11 (screw) Barracouta, 6 ; and Styx, 6—in all 13 sail, exclusive of the Australian division and of surveyinif, vessels. In addition to the above mea-of-war, the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Tartar was chartered at an enormous es - pense as tender to the Winchester, and armed with three guns. Our allies vessels were—the Sy bille, 52 ; Constantine, 26 ; and Colbert, 6 (paddle), mak fag the effective force on the China station in March, 1855, five frigates, seven steamers, and five sailing sloops, of 311 guns, and about 3,000 men. It was scattered as fol lows :—The Encounter and Barracouta were despatch el from Shanghai on the 22d of March to assist the Pacific squadron in reducing Petropaulovski---a place within the limits of this station. The Sybille, Hornet, and Bittern sailed from Hong Kong on the 7th of April, to reconnoitre in the Gulf of Tartary, and ascertain the practicability of an attack on the Russian settlements on the A.moor from the south. "The- Spartan was despatched a few days afterwards to cruise about the Kurile Islands (why no one knows), and the Styx got orders to join the flag at Nangasaki, After c trrying about some freight and vice-consuls to different ports in China. The Admiral sailed last of all in the Winchester, in the beginning of May, for the above port, whither the French had already proceeded • The Rattler, Cornus, Racehorse, Grecian, and Rapid were left to protect the British interests in China, and to tee that the opium dealers were not annoyed in their philanthropic traffic by pirates, or anydiiog of that sort. "In the further account of the operations we will fol low the Admiral as nearly as possible. He remained at Nangasaki eight or nine days, trying to get the valuable treaty which he concluded last year ratified ; but was told by the Japanese to call again about the beginning of October. Owing to the French squadron not having completed their preparations, the Winchester, and Tartar put to sea on the 20th of May, the Styx pro ceeding to Shanghai for the English mail of the 9th of April (which was expected to bring peace), while the flag-ship and her tender made for another Japanese port (Helsodade, in the Straits of Saugor), where they ar rived on the 29th of May, the steamer having expended her last ton of coal. The same day they received intel ligence of the enemy from Commodore Elliot, by the Bittern. The Sybille, Hornet, and Bittern, in their cruise up the Guif of Tartary, had unexpectedly fallen in w to a Russian squadron o: six vessels on the morning a Sunday, the 20th of May. The enemy were at anchor in a strong position, in the head of Castries Bay, 51 deg. 27 min. N. lat., 141 deg. E. long. Tnat day and the following were spent in reconnoitring, and in vain manceuvres tempting and defying them to come out and fight fairly, which, however, they de clined. Their force was found to be as follows : Aurora, 41 ; Oltenttza, 22 ; D sine, 20 ; Vostock, 5 ; a brigan• ine of three guns ; and a large ship which could sot be distincly made out, and supposed by some to be the Kaintschatka store ship, 8 guns, while others as serted she was a corvette. With the small f..rce of a frigate, brig, and steamer, it was deemed unadvisa.ble to attempt cutting them out, and the Hornet having gone in as far as was safe, and exchanged shells with the Dwina, the Commodore withdrew, and next morning despatched the Bittern to the Admiral for assistance, meaning himself to blockade them till further force ar rived. As mentioned, the Bittern joined the Admiral on the 29th of May. On the 30th she sailed in com pany with him, leaving the Tartar behind. Though prompt assistance wa required, we find these two ships at anchor on the 2d of July in the Straits of Saugor, about 30 miles from the port which they left on the morning of the 30th. At midnight of the 2d they were joined by the Spartan, from the Kurile Islands, where she had, of course, seen nothing and learnt nothing. She had, however, been within 150 miles of the squad ron supposed to be acting against Petropaulovski, but had not communicated with them. The Winchester, Spartan, Bittern, and Tartar, finally sailed from the Straits to the Commodore's assistance at midnight on the 2d of July, or exactly 96 hours after the Admiral had received intelligence by the Bittern. On the 7th they fell in with the Commodore at the rendezvous he had appointed in the Straits of La Perouse, but only to learn that the Russians had lef.. Castries Bay during his absence to the southward on the 23d, 24th, 25th, 26th, and 27th, and on going back on the 28th he found the bay empty, and everything that had been in use on shore left evidently in great haste. He hadim mediately proceeded to the rendezvous, had been told by whalers that there was no passage to the northward from Castries Bay, but had made no re connaissance in that direction, nor had he looked into any of the bays on the Tartary shore on his way down. His belief was that the Russians were still in the head of the Gulf of Tartary. " The force with the Admiral's flag now numbered three frigates, the Hornet and Bittern, mounting 145 guns. The Tartar had been sent back to Hakodade on the 3d of June. The Russian squadron seen in Castries Bay had only 106. Whether Admiral Stirling waited for the further reinforcement of the 84 French guns, or for the English mail expected by the Styx is not known, bat certain it is that he dodged about in the Straits of La Perouse from the 7th of June, when he fell in with the Commodore, till the 17th, when he at last turned his head to the northward, and stood up the Gulf of Tar tary. He had, meantime, on the 16th, received the Eng. . lish mail of the 9th of April, by the Styx, which on that day arrived with the Tartar from Hakodade. This steamer did not bring out a delaration of peace, as many had expected, but she informed the Admiral that she had communicated, on the 13th, with the French frigates Sybille and Constantine, in the Straits of Saugor, and learnt of the loss of the steamer Colbert, on a rock near Nanga,,aki. " On the Admiral proceeding northward be left be hind the Bittern, to cruise about the rendezvous, and bring up the French frigates when they should arrive, but with orders to be at Jonquiere Bay (on the Sagha lien coast) by the 26th at latest, and not to remain on the rendezvous so long as to prevent this. The Tartar and the Styx were also sent back by him on the 22d, with orders to proceed to ihkodade. No one can yet understand the cause of these two most efficient steamers being thus discarded. The Styx had 100 tons of coal left, the Tartar bad three days' wood, and the Commo dore had reported that coal was readily procurable in Jonquiere Bay. The Tartar had the additional recom mendation of drawing but seven feet—an invaluable quality where operations in shoal water were to be ex pected. " On the afternoon of the 25th the three frigates and the Hornet anchored in Jonquiere BAy, in lat. 50 deg. 50 min. N., and found that any quantity of wood and coal was procurable. They also learnt from the savage natives that seven sleeps' before two vessels had been at anchor there, and several Russian naval buttons were seen in their possession, affording a fair clue to the qua lity of their visitors. They were now within 50 miles of Castries Bay, but no attempt at ascertaining if it was again occupied was made on the afternoon of the 20th, or the whole of the 26th ; nor during this time was an' effective means employed for replenishing the stock o, coal in the Hornet, though she was short about 50 tons. On. the. morning_of the 27th the Bitt f ern reioined the flag Fornliog haying Lailou ill with - two, stionge yowls, ono a paddle steamer; while on the rendezvous in the Straits of La Parouse ; she had, however, seen 'nothing of our allies. On the afternoon of th e 27th the Hornet steamed over to Castries Bay, with Commodore Elliot on board, the other vessels eontinning at anchor. Had she found the bay reoccupied by Russian vessels (which she did not), we cannot understand what object the mission would have served, for she could only have returned and inti mated the fact to the Admiral, the enemy being mean timeert f s eci having nv minute oi un u reconnaissance ne es S see h ude e rn r uea e nyn t yunart surveying, gon d aafg bp o l pi hnae appeared t a l d i rh e ehe aT m aa dvh o ni6 r noo n gf w i A n e gxdf theeomocr f gui ru t tt t h el fd e i warned to prepare f or an attack, or aga i n t o a 2 e x 9 v e t r u y w t e i i t rn h h i p o s e n wi w h t i la c o h u t w m a o s re p first time (if we may judge of his thoughts by his pro ceedings) to take it for granted that the enemy could not have escaped to the northward, but must have passed his squadron, and got out of the Gulf of Tartary to the southward. He at once weighed and ran down the gulf under all sail. On the let of July he fell in with the French frigates Sybille and Constantine, put the Spartan and Hornet under the orders of Commodore Elliot, of the Sybille, and gave him a roving commission to pro ceed, along with the French ships, through the Straits of La Perouse and thence to the Amoor settlements, to Port Ayan, or Okhotsk —in fact, wherever he chose, while he himself returned to Hakodade in the Winches ter, with the Bittern in company. " Many make sufficiently bold to doubt whether the proceedings of Admiral Stirling during this, or, indeed, last season, have been such as to reflect that credit on himself and honour on his flag which were to be looked fr. During the whole of last season no ship belonging to his command was to the northward of the parallel of Nangasaki, which is about 3 deg. North, while it was well known that there was no Russian settlement to the Southward of 52 deg. All - he had to show for the sum mer work of about 14 vessels under Isle ilfunediate direm tion was a convention with the Governor of Nangasaki, which, be it good, bad, or indiffereot, is believed to he more in the province of her Majesty's Plenipotentiary than of the naval Commander-in-Chief,• particularly in time of war. Whether his preparations during the win ter for the spring campaign displayed the required fore sight or resulted in the completeness, efficiency, and earliest despltch of his vessels is a point on which one who has wintered in Hong Kong is bettered qualified to pronounce an opinion ; but a sad improvidence has been apparent to all who have sailed with him in reference to coal, that most important munition of modern warfare ; and, had his squadron been in action, the want of a de pot of other materiel of war would have been seriously felt. The scattered state of this squadron during April and May is, perhaps, more defensible; but it will never tease to be regretted that the force under Commodore El liot was riot stronger or was not more efficiently backed. Had the Spartan, instead of cruising uselessly about the Kurile Islands, accompanied the Sybille, the Russian squadron would in all human probability have now been in an English port as prizes, instead of being safely ensconced behind impassable sandbanks and fortifica tions, as they certainly are. " Passing over the lengthened delays, of which we cannot receive a satisfactory account, his division of his force on the Ist of July appears singularly injudicious. While denying most strongly that he had sufficient evi dence to prove that the enemy had go - i beyond his reach from his position in Jonquiere Bay, it may he admitted, for the sake of illustration, that they had effected their escape by passing to the southward of all the squadron and going down the Gulf of Tartary. Such a case being presupposed, the probabilities are to be calculated on. We take them to be as follows :—The probable time of the enemy's escape from Castries Bay was the 27th of May. Strong southerly gales were experienced by the Bittern in the Gulf of Tartary during this time and till the 6th or 7th of June. The Russians could therefore have barely had time to beat 400 miles south and pass through the Straits of La Perouse before the arrival of the Winchester and consort in that narrow passage. Is it likely they would continue to beat to the southward after getting out of the supposed cul•cle.sac in which they had placed themselves ? Or would they not at once take advantage of a fair wind and run to the strongest of their settlements to leeward—that is, somewhere in the Sea of Okhotsk ? The latter must strike every one as the most obvious and, judicious course for them to pursue ; and it must be epually evident that a force far superior to their known strength was requisite to destroy them when supported by land batteries, or to cut them out when placed in a harbour protected by natural or artificial bars and shallows. Nevertheless we find the Admiral reducing his force by the withdrawal of the Winchester, 50, and Bittern, 12, and despatching a squadron, under his second in command, num bering only 160 guns and 1,400 men, while he is (or should be) perfectly aware that the Russians have efficient laud defences for all their settlements, acid at Ayan are said to muster about 5,000 soldiers. Ad miral Stirling's reasons for proceeding to the southward in person may, in like manner, be speculated. He may have considered that where the Admiralty had thought so young a captain as Elliot of the Sybille worthy of a commodore's rank it was his place to assign him the post of honour and danger. But why, then, withdraw the Winchester, the most powerful ship of the station ? If all flag-ships are merely Admiral's floating-houses, to accompany theta as the shell does the snail, then the sooner these officers shift their flags into steam-yachts the better, for surely it is a needless expense converting the heaviest ship of the fleet into an Admiralty-house. He may have thought his presence demanded in China, but this is an idle supposition, for it may be safely as serted that he will not bestow much, if any, of his time there till the hot season is over—that is, about Octobet. Lastly, he may have considered that the enemy had really gone to the south, and that he was taking the post of danger ; if so, he wilfully risked his two vessels 111 a most urjustifiable manner. It is believed, however, that the Admirers knighterrantry (supposing that he ever hail so mercurial a spirit) bas, at the age of 65 or 66, been so far expended as to deter him from seeking so unequal a combat. All circumstantial evidence goes to prove that. he believed the enemy bad got into the S e a of Okhotsk ; and we have the facts vouched for that what he thought the most probable scene of action was committed to his second in command, and that with a force much weaker than it might have been, and totally s in e a e d n e:l i f u a t t h e e t Russ e u ff s s e effect a t c h e e d d e h s i t al i u s e c l t f i o i n u as he invariably has been found to do. a° of s e h v e e l t n e r t ide squadron seen, if the Russ placed himself in a sheltered puilitions Spirit of the Public Journals. (From the Times of this clay.) The English Government is omitting no oppor tunity of reinforcing the West India squadron, and thus interposing a powerful fleet between this country and the North American Continent. This proceeding will, we doubt not, call forth from- a large portion of the American press that species of mild and temperate comment in which they delight whenever the conduct of England is in question,- and a little political capital is to be manufactured by makipg her the object of invective and depre ciation. We shall be told, no doubt, of the fiendish hatred of England to Republican America, and' of the insolent menace behind which she veils her in sidious and treacherous designs. Without the slightest wish to reflect in any way on the press which allows itself to be made the vehicle of such 1 statements, or upon the constituencies whose votes are found to be influenced by such calumnies, we wish to point out to the good sense and moderation of the American people the causes which have led us, even in a time of war, to increase our squadron in their seas, and may possibly lead us still further in a direction the first steps towards which we are now most unwillingly taking. We entreat, then, the American public to believe, notwithstanding the assertions to the contrary with which they are so assiduously . plied, that there is no party or body of men in this country that regards them with any other feeling than that of the utmost goodwill, or would wish for them any other fate than the enjoyment of the utmost public freedom which is consistent with the utmost private liberty and security. We have neither the wish nor the right to intrude our opinion on that form of Government which has been established in the United States ; but_ we have, and we claim the right, to take every reasonable precaution against that spirit of un bridled license which the present Government of the United States seems inclined to tolerate. At this moment North America is in profound peace with the whoh world ; yet it is not the less true that in her ports are fitting out at this moment piratical filibustering expeditions, destined to carry war and bloodshed into the dominions of an unof fending neighbour. These expeditions do not re ceive the sanction of the American Government, are not equipped by its funds, will not be conducted by its officers—but their preparation is nevertheless well known to the President and his Administra tion, and receives no check from that quarter. This toleration, we are willing to suppose, proceeds from weakness merely, and would be exchanged for vigorous action, only that the power to act is utterly wanting. The American people are so free that they will not be controlled by a Government of their own creating, and, though laudably eager for the preservation of their own dignity and the assertion of their own rights, cannot bring them selves to tolerate an Executive sufficiently strong to compel respect for the rights of foreign nations. It is because we see no hope of finding in the United States a Government capable of preventing its citizens from waging private war on their own account against the best friends and truest allies of the great republic that we are most unwillingly compelled, even in the midst of the great European struggle in which we are engaged, to assume a de fensive attitude, in order to trample out the first sparks of this fire, and prevent a conflagration which, if once allowed to spread, may cause incal culable misery to the human race. It is the mis fortune of the American Republic that she con tains within her borders so many desperate and lawless men ;it is still more her misfortune that she does not possess an organisation sufficiently powerful to crush these criminal attempts. That which she cannot do we are compelled, at least so far as the lawless enterprises directed against ourselves go, to do for her. We cannot wait pa tiently till these lawless emissaries of insurrection and plunder have set their feet within her Ma jesty's dominions, and encountered there the re sistance which is sure to overwhelm their wild and desperate schemes. We cannot wait till we are placed in the terrible dilemma of either sparing men to whom clemency is cruelty to the human race of which they are the enemies, or of inflicting a just punishment, which may be-the means of in flamino against u the passions of the American people and leading to a disastrous and fratricidal war. We will, if it be possible, prevent the crime that otherwise it would be our duty most severely ' to punish, and this we do in the name and in the hope of peace. We cannot believe that those who are now engaged in enrolling unhappy men for these desperate and criminal enterprises really con template the success of a descent upon Ireland, for instance, as probable, or even possible. All they can hope is that the miserable fate sure to attend such wretched adventurers may be the means of inflaming the public mind against England, and stirring up the passions of the people to a point which might render war inevitable. This consum mation it is the duty of the American Government, if it can, to prevent, and, as it cannot, of the Go verninent against which such attempts are aimed by all means to avert. If we can prevent these expeditions from sailing, or intercept them in mid ocean, we shall have done much towards averting the danger that must arise should they be carried out to their natural development. The course of action we have adopted is bold, but for that very reason we believe it to be prudent and safe. We are fully aware of the advantage that such a proceeding gives to those ever active emissaries of discord, who are incessantly employed in every State of the Union in stirring up the feelings of the populace against this country. That which is a mere measure of self-defence against lawless force they will represent as an insult offered to the lawful Government of the country ; they will de claim, they will distort, they will exaggerate, but we must not omit to prepare against real dangers because our preparations may be honestly misun derstood or designedly misrepresented. England has every wish and every interest to remain at peace with America. The immense trade which we carry on with her, the community of language and of blood, the absence of any ground of dispute or subject of rivalry, all plead forcibly in the same direction. How strange that under such circum stances we should be driven to arm merely be cause it is the will of a portion of the sovereign people to make war upon us, unsupported and un approved, but also neither prevented nor arrested by the Government ! We desire above all things instant continuance o nrof gripe on nbutht the throat t i h t r b o e at th of e thedetermina tioninroelg of any large portion of the people of the United States to force war upon us we shall know how to meet it and repel it, without relaxing for a an and tottering giant of the north. But is it for the credit of those free institutions so often vaunted as all that is wise, perfect, and liberal on the face of the earth, that a friendly and kindred nation, ardently desiring peace, should feel itself compelled to stand on the defensive, not because it has any serious dispute with the Go vernment of this free and happy community, but because that Government is unwilling or unable to prevent its citizens from going forth to murder and to plunder in the dominions of an unoffending ally ? Are these the garlands with which the tree of freedom ought to be adorned—are these the laurels with which the temples of the goddess should be bound 7 England has some claim to be called the nursing mother of freedom ; and her citizens are free because they know how to obey— how to subordinate their individual wills to that law the supremacy of which constitutes the prin cipal distinction of a civilised community. (From the Daily News of this day.) That General Simpson comes home immediately appears to be beyond a doubt. Owing to his great and increasing infirmities he has persisted in his request to be allowed to resign. But if it has been decided who is to be his successor the secret has been carefully kept. All that has been allowed to transpire is that the new Commander-in-chief will be chosen from among the general officers already with the army, and that no new man will be sent out. An impression prevails among those who have access to the best information, that some time may be allowed to elapse ere a successor to General Simpson is nominated. It is thought that so long as our troops are divided—part of them before Sebastopol and part engaged in the northern ex pedition—Sir Richard Eyre and Sir Colin Camp bell will each be allowed to retain a separate and entirely independent command. And yet it is not easy to persuade oneself that such should be !be , determination of Ministers, that the English army shall be allowed to sink down into a mere contingent and auxilaqc or p as unless it is inteute.h s.

The discussion was private, but it was understood that an answer would be delivered this day to the requisitionists. Accordingly, at half-past 12 o'clock, H. Littledale, E.g., appeared at the Chamber of Commerce on behalf of the requisitionists, when E. Heath, Esq., the chairman, communicated the following report : "Chamber of Commerce, Liverpool, Oct. 23. "At a special meeting of the council to consider a requisition on the subject of the present state of the mo netary system, Edward Heath, Esq., president, in the chair, it was resolved— " That although the council see no reason for alarm in the present state of the commercial position and the general resources of the country, yet they cannot conceal fron, themselves the fact that there is a growing appre hension in the public mind of approaching difficulties. " The council, therefore, think it necessary to com municate to the requisitionists the following conclusions at which they have arrived— " That should the demands of a large war expenditure on the one hand, and the food requirements of Western Europe on t'm other, cause a continuance of the drain upon the available banking. capital, and the stocks f bullion in this c mntry, the Bank of England may (de spite the exercise of the only corrective principle appa rently in its power, namely, that of raising the rate of interest and restiicting discounts) find its banking re serve of notes exhausted, while the issue department, as in 1847, still retains a large stock of bullion. " That the experience of 1347 clearly demonstrates that, in the event of such an assumed contingency, the Bank of England, under the provisions of the act of 1844, is powerless to afford any facilities to the corn merciai world, and (although the originating causes may not be precisely parallel) the same calamitous crisis as that of 1847 may again be witnessed. " That as the public are now fully aware that the only po-sible mode of relief in such an assumed state of affairs is the interposition of Government to suspend the operation of the Bank Act of 1844, the uncertainty as to the mode and the time of such interposition is cal culated to create apprehension and to generate a want of confidence in the public mind. "That the prevailing apprehension on the part of the public, arising from such a state of doubt and nocee tainity, is in itself mainly con ducive to cause an d hasten ' the advent of the crisis which is so much dreaded. "That it may, therefore, become the duty of this chamber to call upon the Goverement ta anticipate and prevent any such break-down of public confidence, by declaring, at an early period, its readiness to assume the responsibility which is expected from it. "That, in order to make any such declaration practi cally useful, it is requisite that it should not be deferred (as in 1847) until, by the total loss of confidence, unne cessary suffering and injury shall have been experienced. "That a standing committee be now appointed to watch the progress of events, and to intimate to the council their opinion when immediate action on the part of this chamber is desirable. (Extracted from the proceedings.) " ROBERT TRONSON, Secretary." Mr. HIATII added that the standing committee re ferred to in the resolutions had been appointed, and would meet daily, or at less frequent intervals, as the aspect of affairs might require.

We fully appreciate the importance of lan undivided command in military operations, and would offer no objection to the recognition of ; a French Generalissimo, or Comm ander-in- Chief of the Allied forces in the East. There would be no more shame in an English army stand ing in this relation to a French chief, than there wa in a Dutch army being placed under Marl botough, or a Spanish army under Wellington. All eti4er qualifications among the competitors for the chief command being equal, there appears to be a natural propriety in selecting the generalissimo from that nation which has most men in the field. But, if the combined armies of England, France, Satdinia, and Turkey are to be placed under ono supreme chief, let this be done openly and avow ed, not by distributing and frittering away our reinvents until they run a risk of disappearing ea ter ly.

In addition to our Eng lisl regiments we have a Foreign Legion and a Tu kish Contingent, receiving English pay, march ing under the English banner, comaionded in a great measure by English officers, subjected to English discipline and English laws of war. This force, which from these circumstances dezives a certain unity of character, will be much more avail able if kept together en masse, than if mixed up in driblets with an army of a widely different organi • sation. Though our English army, with its multi farious ingredients, may be destined to be placed un er the supreme command of a French general, F. will derive 'more effective service from it by all wing it to act en masse. If such an -arrange me t is in contemplation let it be avowed, and let Ministers appeal to the common sense of the Eng lish people for their approbation, instead of seeking to effect their purposes by indirect means, which may impair the spirit and diminish the utility of ours army. But there is reason to fear that the hesitation and delay in nominating a successor to Gehei al Simpson has its origin from a less respect a'de cause. When that otlicer was appointed to succeed Lord Raglan, it was currently reported that protestions of a determination not to serve under him had been heard from various quarters ; anm .the return of at least one general officer to this country is still attributed by many to soreness on account of his having been passed over. The reluctance of Ministers to declare upon whom they intkend to confer the supreme command of our army in the East appears to have its source in a weak and unworthy reluctance to run the risk of giving simi lar umbrage in any quarter on the present occasion. The army appears to be in imminent danger of being frittered away because Ministers have not the moral courage to place the right man at its head, regardless of what exasperation and murmurs may be provoked among those who think mere seniority a title before which all others must give way ; or because they have not the discrimination to choose among the various candidates. To allow such con siderations to hamper them or give them pause, betrays, on the part of our rulers, a lukewarmness as to the issue of the great struggle in which we are engaged. Promptitude and energy are required at their hands in a crisis like the present ; and to leavy our army for one moment without a recog nised head—to allow it to be broken up into a number of independent corps, and scattered over the face of the earth—is totally irreconcilable with the possession of such qualities. It is to incur the risk of allowing the war to die out, instead of urging it on until some definite and tangible good has been attained. (From the Times of this day.) In our police report of yesterday there was an account of a most distressingcaso which was brought under the notice of Mr. Jardine, the sitting magis trate at Bow-street. The circumstances, if we look to the magistrates' decision, may not justify any very strong animadversion upon the conduct of any person, aitliongh we cannot agree with Mr. Jar cline's remark that the behaviour of the defendant appears " to have been reasonably humane and pro per." Large allowances must, no doubt, be made for the blunted feelings and pinching difficulties of a woman who had throughout her life been con tending with poverty in its ghastliest forms • still, if we, as men, understand anything of the en btions by winch women are actuated, we should have thought that if there was a circumstance which at all times would have enlisted the sympathies of one woman in the behalf of another, it would be the sight of a wretched creature struggling into a 4 bare room, without assistance and without a friend, to give birth to an infant. If the sufferings of the mother touched no diviner chord, surely the cry of the new-born child, or, still more, the sight of its little lifeless body, might have suggested some thing else than a desire to get rid of a momentary difficulty. We pass at once to the facts of the ease as stated by the complainant, Elizabeth Joyce, a girl of about 20 years of age :—On the 6th of Osto her last, at about 10 o'clock at night, she, then ex pecting every moment to be confined, applied for admission at St. Giles's Workhouse. The porters sent for the midwife, and this person summarily declared that Elizabeth Joyce was not iu the state in which she supposed herself to be. Another woman was called to council, and they both agreed in the opinion that it was entirely a mistake, and that the best thing the wretched girl could do was to go to a hospital and get cured. She was then " put out" of the workhouse. We ask of the ladies of England who may honour us by casting their eyes over our columns to consider the situation of this unfortunate creature. We care not what her faults may have been, but can anything more en tirely and hopelessly wretched be conceived than the position of this young woman, in all the dire agonies and apprehensions of approaching shild birth, as about midnight, on the 6th of Oct. last, she leant against the walls of St. Giles'sWorkhouse, from which she had been just expelled ?—and in what a situation ! The poor creature, in some fashion or another, contrived to reel down Drury lane, and there, as she says, she met a young man with whom she had been acquainted, and he said that he would pay for her night's lodging. By him she was taken to a lodging-house in Eagle-court, near Red Lion-square. She undressed and went to bed, but shortly afterwards was taken with the pains of labour, and delivered of a dead child. The landlady, aroused by her cries—stifled as they may have been—came in and asked what was amiss. As soon as she saw the real state of affairs she said, " Dress yourself immediately, or ,-- svill give you into the custody of a policeman for 'wining into a strange house for such a purpose." Elizabeth Joyce did as she was ordered ; the body of the child was wrapped in an old shawl, and she and the landlady went out together. As soon as they came into Red Lion-square the defendant, Isabella Ward, told her to sit down on the stones, and said to her, " Now, mind, you are not to contradict what I say. I will leave you in the square while I go and fetch a policeman ; and I will tell him that I was passing by, when I acci dentally saw you and went to your assistance." If Elizabeth Joyce would nut agree to this, she was informed by her companion that she should be left to her fate. She agreed, of course. In a short while Isabella Ward reappeared with a policeman , who seems to have acted with very praiseworthy decision and humanity. After a few natural r ques tions, he procured for her some brandy and from a neighbouring public-house, putherozittan 1, water cab, and conveyed her to King's College where she received every necessary as_ A _it is righ t s'stance. The police-constable, William Smith, 34 that his name should be honourablyfar 0 mentioned— confirmedhis share in the girl's account " to corroborate her the transaction enabled him girl, Eliza statement. There was another Simpson, companions, who was also one of Elizabeth Joyce's her side. This young wo pro(luced as evidence on man told Mr. Jardi ne that about 8 o'clock on th e t ' h we nt gilt wit her friend to night in question sh . e . a who ga h veer some medi a doctor's in DsurPl an / en to the workhouse. When medi cine, and sent her t h e girlsaid they arrived there that the porters spoke very , s harply tot h em, and one of them added, ‘, oh ! there s nothing, the matter with you. You are not in labour.' It appears she ought to have brought a certificate before the fact could be recog nised by the parochial authorities. When repulsed from the workhouse the two young women went to the station in Bow-street, but there the inspec tor told them that he could not compel the people at the workhouse to admit the applicant, and re commended them to try again. This, • however, they felt to be useless, and so went wandering about until they met a good Samaritan in the per son of Henry Baker, who paid for the night's lodg ing. We now come to the statement made by Isa bella Ward, the defendant, a middle-aged woman. From the report it does not precisely appear whe ther or not she was the keeper of thelod ginghouse; her own accoun t i s th a t s h e works for her father, who keeps the house in Eagle-court. This point, however, is not very important ; she certainly .actedin authority as one who was possessed of competent ,_ , the house. When the . young woman calleg out , 71 . ~ :1, `7" ' %1., . s \.

She then said, " You ought to be Yi.-;', - ,45 l lg4l ashamed of yourself, coming to a strange house in 7 7,--i , t - 7' i'' 3 4, this condition." Elizabeth Joyce replied, " Take. -- .!::-.- 7- c , .'' me out, then." The defendErit answered, " BLt r a s are you fit to go ?'' The object, of cour se , was t o • .1 , make it appear that the departure of the girl from r the lodg,inghouse was voluntary. Isabella Ware - - rs ' told the magistrate that she then procured n_qnal. '''`' 4 tern of gin from the landlady, whereupon the young woman who had just been confined dressed herself, and followed her downstairs into the street The story she concocted for the benefit of the po liceman was, as she contended, entirely in the in terest of the plaintiff. That she did not mean to act with inhumanity, she said, appeared from the facts of the case. She found the policeman, assisted the plaintiff into the cab, accompanied her the hospital, and called there twice afterwards to :leer how she was getting on. Strong as these arguments may be, - confess that we can scarcely see why this wrt '. - _ied girl, considering the awful condition in wiliel, slic wan might not have been permitted to rest u_ (lidturbed until the morning came in the bed .F- , - TrLich her companion had paid. It would 12:-.- - --; been sr' 'y time enough to take her to the hospital wit' "e• turning light. Thus far, howe%,-er, the que' oi.. is only one which affects the humanity of ind'i - dais; but what are we to think of the , -blic regtua.' ,12s, when such a tragedy can occ..r a the ' let of London? This was not the case of a person . , o dies in a brickfield, or under a dry arch, where La human eye may discern her agony. Her body was distinctly produced at the parish workhousra and at the police-station of the district. In or,e place they would not, in the other they could not, afford her assistance, although we think in such a case the police inspector might well have stretched a point, and either forwarded her to the hospital, or given her such shelter as the station-house might afford. No doubt, the persons officially obnoxious to blame are the porters and midwife of St. Gave( Workhouse, and we trust they may be made to smart for their brutality. Nor can we agree with Mr. Jardine's remark, that "if her own account of the affair be true, Isabella Ward's conduct ap pears to have been reasonah:y humane and proper." We are dull enough not to perceive the humanity and propriety of turning a young woman in such a uoudition out of doors at midnight. Naval and :Military Intellizence. Yesterday morning, at Lalt-past II o'clock, Sir C. Wood, Sir Baldwin Walker, and Rear-Adthiral Eden ar rived at the dockyard, Woolwich, and were officially re oeived there by Commodore-Superintendent J.

The two days may, in fact, be considered the fair, and well it is so, for it would be impossible, without serious inconvenience, to receive the whole of the immense supply, and transact the large amount of busiues in one day. The beasts were in the finest pos. bible conditi .n, and sold readily at considerably enhanced prices over last year. Three-year-old steers fetching from 4/. to 5/., and stock generally 15 to 20 per cent. more than la-t October fair. Fat cows and beef realised 7d. per lb. Notwithstanding the large supply, scarcely a beast remained unsold at the close of either day._ents The sheep fair was largely supplied and th e " great.
