We had hoped that the unanimous and cordial approbation of our gallant Allies, of the Govern ment, the Army, and the people of France, had finally disposed of the unwarrantable and virulent libels against the English General and the English troops engaged in the attack on the Redan on the ever-memorable Bth of September—that although there might be no express recantation there would at least have been no repetition of those wanton and outrageous calumnies on brave and devoted men who had nobly served their country in the hour of trial, and earned for themselves the admi ration and gratitude of every disinterested and unprejudiced person throughout the length and breadth of the land. This reasonable expectation was enhanced by perceiving that the journal which had taken a prominent part in their publica tion maintained a remarkable and signifi cant silence from the time of the appearance of the admirable letter of Mr. JAMES AYTOUN, which completely overthrew the false assumptions and carping criticisms on which they had been criginally founded. Our respected correspondent told us truly that " everywhere in Paris the highest praise was not only given to the determi nation and bravery of our soldiers, but that the French public attributed to the heroic resistance of our soldiers the success of the day as much ds to those employed directly in the taking of the Malakhoff !" lie also showed that the Redan was not expected to be taken On that occasion. All that was required or intended was that the Russian attention shuald be diverted fer a certain period while the captors of the Malakhoff were strengthening their position; and firmly establish ing themselves in the fortress which they had When they had d one so, the gailAntly won. Great Redae, the Redan of Careening B a y, and the Central and Quarantine Bastions Inuit share the fate of " the key of Sebas topol," and fall into the hands of the Allies with comparatively little logs. Far more than was demanded wa s performed. In pl ace of a 8iu,,10 hour, one hour and fifty-six minutes were occupied in tho attack on the Great Redan, and the result was that two hours and a half had elapsed before the enemy could attempt the re capture of the 111,alakhoff. The time thus obtained was turned to the best advantage—not a minute was wasted or misapplied by the gallant escaladers. The Malakhoff was held as firmly as it bad been vigorously acquired, and the following day the great prize of the contest, Sebastopol itself, with all the southern outworks and defences, was in the hands of the besiegers ! There was no " humitiation," to England or the English in this. Never had the honour of our standard been more nobly maintained— never had English soldiers displayed in a higher degree that stubborn and enduring valour for which, their forefathers had been distinguished for a long succession of ages ! And that valour was duly appreciated by friend an d f oe, w i t h one ex ception. The supposed failure was a prize for the managers of "the grumbling shop" at Printing House-square ; and even before the hilt particulars of the terrible conflict were or cou ld be known in t his country, a determi ne d onslaught was opened on (general Srmrsozz with that reek which the Titne 3 has acquir e d less malevolence fo r an unhappy nouorie Nay more, it was not merely the General who experienced the conse• iluenqS of its direful wrath. The very soldiers who had fought with such nritinching resolution were also r W ..--ogety libelled, and something like cowardice and i nsubo r dinat i on a tt r ibuted to those who had freely and willingly shed their blood in their country's cause The Times recently, in a very ex t r aordinary article on the subject of consistency, professed it self to bo "a Journali 4 t, not a p one .” It, holc ever, on all 'possible 9D ea s i w „, , seeks to establish the attribute of "infallibility;" and when once the fi,,t has gone farth,hewever:raShly orunwarran t ably, it seek 3 to abide by its first a du-gment. It b ai done iU the Peceutiait.4iiPl4ll,llll44;:al, opened the assault with fresh vigour, or rather additional acerbity. We should, however, be well contented to let the controversy rest as it is, satisfied of the unanimous verdict of every right minded man, were it not for a very startling assertion put forward this day in its leader. It professes to have had a direct communication from , Government, and, mirabile dicta, to the effect that if its stringent comments were no longer put forward General SIMPSON would be offered as a sacrifice at its shrine ! Lest it may be supposed that we have in any degree exaggerated its meaning, we quote its own language :—" At the first outbreak of national feeling the Govern inent was alarmed. We were asked to refrain from further comments on the untoward event, and were assured that General SIMPSON would at once yield to another the command which he was clearly unfit to hold. If not recalled, he would be advised in a friendly manner to resign. He was an old and respected officer, and, if not capable of the highest command, might yet be allowed to retire quietly." Now there can be no doubt as to the obvious interpretation of this statement. It is manifestly intended to convey the impression that an autho rised emissary from the Government made a com munication to the Times of the intended recall of General SIMPSON for the purpose of bespeaking its indulgence and forbearance. If this bold as sertion have any adequate foundation, the party or parties who adopted a course so unworthy are totally unfit for the high positions which it is more than hinted that they occupy. They un fairly and unjustly yielded, not to popular cla mour, but to the vindictive feeling of a single journal, which, emboldened by its temporary suc cess against one of our most distinguished Generals, has endeavoured to secure a new victim. It might have been anticipated that the glorious termina tion of the military career of one whom it assailed as fiercely and wantonly as it now does the gal lant SIMPSON might have taught it a salutary lesson of caution. But no ! Oblivious of the great discredit cast on it in the case of Lord GOUGH, it has resumed its unwarrantable attacks on the British General, who has not considered it his chief duty to propitiate the manager or the correspondent of the Times ! For ourselves we totally discredit the statement, and we call upon the Times to prove its accuracy. It has for the nonce made a direct assertion, which is capable of substantive proof. A Parliamentary inquiry has already been held on a similar statement, which it did not venture to support when the proper time arrived. But should the Times now shrink from what it has asserted it must submit to be regarded as a wilful and deliberate slanderer. If it can sustain ifs allegation a Minister must be unfit for his situation ! This is the dilemma in which it has just placed itself by its audacity. There is only one other point in its laboured article worthy of notice. It says, speaking of General SIMPSON, "Is he deemed competent by the Government—aro the comments and criticisms of the Nation" (i. e. the Times), " ignorant or calumnious?? Then, let Lord PALMERSTON and Lord PANMURE express their approval !" Does the Times think that expression at all called for ? Has it not been conveyed in the clearest and most unequivocal terms in his promotion to the rank of General, and his nomination as Knight Grand Cross of the Bath. No words could convey more forcibly the high and cordial approbation of his SOVEREIGN, the Premier, and the War Minister, than these great, but scarcely adequate, rewards for his meritorious and distinguished services. It is singular that almost every change in the fortunes of the War reacts in favour of Russia with some of our English politicians. The miseries of the mismanaged winter campaign, the termina tion of the Vienna Conferences, and even the re cent fall of Sebastopol, became successively occa sions of desertion to the COBDEN and BRIGHT policy. Such men as GRAHAM, GLADSTONE, and LAING fell off one after another to the party who thought the Vienna Note an adequate protection for Turkey and all Europe against Muscovite am bition. We do not wish to impute consciously unworthy motives to our statesmen, but the general observer cannot refuse to see that certain very strong party or commercial motives did exist at each juncture, which would prompt to precisely the course actually taken. It did so happen that a peace policy was a seemly name for an attack by the Opposition upon the Government which had superseded it ; and that it was a good cry, when railway speculators and manufacturers were disposed to attribute all their disappoint ments to the prosecution of the War. From the country at large these attempts have received but little encouragement, yet they have been perse veringly made as occasion has offered ; or rather everything has been converted into an occasion for them. The last attempt is, we hope, now effec, tually nipped in the bud. The avowed organ of the Tories, after several of their leaders had shows that they were too real Conservatives to sell their English soula for plaCe, conies forward itself to oppose asking peace of Russia because we have taken southern Sebastopol. It is deeply to be regretted that some members of the Con servative cause in the House of Commons should of late have pursued so negative a policy. They may be assured that the country will not in time of war place in, power a leader who has not heart enough to declare himself boldly for War or Peace. Englishmen must now have Mr. COBDEN or Lord P ALMERSTON. A trimmer to whatever course will upset a rival Minister is not the man for the hour. It is not to read of party battles that the papers are daily sought for by our readers. But for the deluding effects on Russia we should feel perfectly indiffer en t to all these endeavours to change the country's policy. Combined how declining the ever, with that of " sparing" the enemy in the even of Polish Baltic and the Black Sea, o f the enemy to think that care will be alli ance of Poland and a must lead taken not to injure her seriously. Legion, t l g e mustleast, were ap peartahveerye as if the affairs of B omar , d to Russia , Sweaborg, arranged as to satisfy this intentionally so ilelsingfors, and Odessa, was most coun try and France with the show of something done, while all that was done left what make the place valu able untouched, or, as in the case of Sweaborg, only enabled the enemy to ma invul nerable to the next attack. accounts all concur that nex t spr i ng the arsenals will be bomb-p roo f ; an d w h a t an a dequate supply recent of Svreabore of mortars might have utterly destroyed summer will now b e f ar more difficult t o d e al with with the party next.

Tile grand argument of the last converts, or ' perverts, rather, is, that we have now got all we want. Russian prestige is gone in the,East ; her navY Black i i is limited to annihil a ti on ; the • . e.a ! Piinpipalities havielmaloinsinmoleared ; the trea ties with Turkey are cancelled ; all the original grounds of the War are valid no longer ; we have gained every demand—why incur farther waste of blood and treasure ? Now, we may ask, is it wished to stop ex actly where we are ? Is half Sebastopol and the whole Crimea to be left intact to Russia ? Is she to be left in command of the principal mouth of the Danube ? Is Nicolaieff to become as mischie vous a nurse of gun-boats as Sebastopol was of three-deckers Louking only at the Ease is it meant that we are to offer peace after having done an amount of mischief considerable indeed, but which, if we give up things as they are, would as certainly be repaired again, as the conquering policy of Russia would remain unchanged ? if this be not meant, what is meant Russia cer tainly will not occupy the Principalities again for some years to come, but as certainly she would lay her plans again to be mistress of Constanti nople at the first opportunity. Even Mr. BRIGHT cannot doubt it, much less Mr. DISRAELI. Is this, then, we ask, the purpose for which we have embarked in so great a War 7 We might ask, too, .whether it is likely Russia would make peace on any terms which could he ac cepted. Inevitably one of the first must be pecu niary indemnity to Turkey first and chiefly, and then to the other Allies. Sha made Turkey pay last time on far less reasonable grounds, of course she herself must be made to pay now ; the neces sity, too, of strengthening the finances of the coun try to which we have lent money to resist the aggressor, and of enfeebling those of the aggressor himself, is too obvious to need argu ment. If Russia did not think indemnity too I humiliating for Turkey, she must not think it too humiliating for herself. Is it then believed that Russia is so far brought to her senses yet ? Would she listen to proposals at all which should assume that the Allies were conquerors ? Would the Old Muscovites allow her to do so ? We think she has not suffered enough yet even to cede all that we have already conquered. She would retain liberty to harass Persia, Turkey, and Circassia, in Asia ; she would restore her Black Sea Fleet, and would infest the Danube as before. What, indeed, seems most certain of all is that proposals from the Allies must damage their own cause. Russia would at once tell her serfs, and would probably believe, that she had worn us out. She would boast everywhere her own power to weary any civilised enemy, and laugh at the idea of magnanimity on our part. Indeed it is not likely that a people so universally and unscrupulously cunning can ever conceive what magnanimity or forbearance means. With such a race it seems to us useless to talk of peace until the utter annihilation of all its maritime ra j sources at least have convinced them that they are hopelessly worsted. But for our wretchedly administered Admiralty this might have been done, we believe, already ; it may easily be done ' in another campaign. In these remarks we have avoided all advertence to the emancipation of Poland and Finland, though as firmly as ever believing that this, and the strengthening of Sweden, should be the ulti mate aim of the War. We think, even taking things as they stand in the East, to think of the Allies proposing peace, would be a suicidal folly. Russia and all the East would regard it as a con fession of practical defeat. Half the secr9t of success lies in having distinct notions of what you are aiming at, and then pur suing your object patiently, prudently, and per severingly ; and perhaps tie reason why we have made so little progress in the art of dealing satis factorily with our criminal population is that we hare had no sufficiently definite ideas as to what ought to be aimed at, and when we fortuitously verged on the right track lacked 'patience to enter fairly into it, and pursued our way in what we may be permitted to designate a zigzag parallel. The most summary mode of dealing with offenders, so far at least as they are individually concerned, is to hang them. Of course a nation blessed with such an extraordinary degree of practical good sense as the English took to it kindly. Never talk of Draconic legislation if you are a good Englishman and hate everything foreign—talk of the legislation of the times of GEORGE the Third. It will serve your turn, you may rely on it. " You shockheaded fellow," the benevolent moralist might in those good old times be heard exclaiming, peering wildly through that tumbledown fence, let them sheep alone or you'll be hanged. You top-booted, drab great coated, flaxen-headed, and blue-eyed Saxon, with that suspicious Yorkshire leer of yours, it's a fine animal and has capital points ; but don't do it.-- leave the animal where it is (however much it may hurt you to see it), starving in the penfold, or you'll be hanged. You nice young man, so clever at caligraphy, and so well up in your cate chism and white neckcloths—practice doubtless niakes perfect, but it's a dangerous thing to carry he art you love into the higher regions of poly :rapby ; stay where you are or you'll be hanged. You poor shivering wretch, with whatever heart you've got, but certainly possessed of thin pan taloons, keep your eye out of your fat friend's pantry or you'll infallibly he hanged. You poor down-trodden, draggle-tailed woman, with that squalling bit of human misery at your bosom, and the pangs of desertion, keener than of hunger, at your heart, don't indulge in the womanly weak ness of gazing at the linen-draper's window, for if you are tempted to steal that cotton rag of a handkerchief it won't be my Lord High Chancel lor's fault if your miserable baby is not speedily an orphan, and its " mammy " strung up by the neck. But it wouldn't do. The system worked well enough for the hangman, but not for society. The judge's hatter was called upon for more hats, the cordwainer for more rope, the poetaster for more ballads, the Lisbon merchant for more oranges, St. Sepulchre's bell for more tolls, and one who shall be nameless for more souls. Sheep stealing, horse-stealing, housebreaking, area-sneak ing, and shoplifting grew rifer than ever in the calendar. Slowly came a reaction. Hanging wouldn't do.

With many the philanthropy was as real a% i t wa-4 discriminati ng ; in some it was maudlin ; in some it was simply se lfi sh ; in any case, af.e c t • the frightful past, which cannot be recalled without a patriotic pang, it was to be respected. Tli e gaol chaplain stirred up his ears as the Eureko, of the uncassocked Samaritan heralded tlu advent of education—the promulga tion of the dc , ..tr,'ne that the culprit was capable THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENIik,:G, OCTOBER lB, 185 5 of amendment, and might be reformed if pains were taken to instil into him right principles. The system of instruction accompanied by re wards was resorted to, but blindly, feebly, and with but small results. With some it was every thing that was wanted ; with others it was an idle fancy ; with hardly anybody was it a serious practical business. Thus, while much good was done—real permanent good—but too much scope was left for the cunning impostor, who would be reformed any way you liked, if, as a reward, you let him loose. And now, to bring a long story to an abrupt termination, here we are with our prisons full—with transportation practically abo lished—with the convict population we used to send abroad burning our fingers—plaintively imploring, " What are we to do with our convict population ? We have hanged them, transported and imprisoned, and in structed and rewarded them, and—what are we to do next ? We can't tell unless it be to ground ourselves on first principles, and start afresh. What is the grand object of our wishes ? The protection of society—what next ? The reforma tion, if the means be within reasonable limits, of the criminal. The first must be insured, charity t• the many demands it ; the second charity, not less imperatively, calls for. Starting hence cool-headedly, and with firm hand and charitable heart, something effectual may be arrived at if we persevere. Let the criminal be made to feel that he is but a secondary consider ation, and that society is resolved to exact the uttermost farthing required in self-defence, not tyrannically, but in obedience to known laws. Let him feel also that his case is not hopeless, but that it will be better for him to amend his life than to persevere in ill-doing, and in all cases of questionable reformation let society have the benefit of the doubt. Let the criminal be as hard-worked, at least in prison, as he would be out, and as productively as possible, and in every respect made to feel that society has been injured by him, and is justified in seeking amends, and that after a fashion not derogatory to Christian men. As for the ticket-of-leave sys tem, Col. JEBB'S letter respecting which suggested these remarks, it is quite clear, if his statistics are to be relied upon, that it has worked better than many were led to believe, only 96 licences having been revoked, and 130 relapses taken place, out of 3,629 cases. This certainly says a great deal for the present system, which by the way is, according to his account, bearing the re proaches due to its predecessor ; and while the resolution of the Secretary of State, " that, as a general rule, every convict shall serve out the Whole of his sentence of penal servitude," may be fully warranted by the facts, we would hope a little more firmness and discrimination in reference to the liberation of convicts would lead to a pro fitable relaxation of the rule.

HER MAJESTY'S RETURN FROM BJLIIIORAL. Her Majesty and suite left Balmoral on Tuesday morning at half-past 8 o'clock, and posted by Ballater and Aboyne to Banchory, where her Majesty was re oeived by Mr. John Duncan, chairman, Mr. Davidson, deputy-chairman of the Deeside railway, and a distin guished party at the station. The royal train left Ban chory at eight minutes past 12, and arrived at the Ferry hill station of the Aberdeen railway at 38 minutes after 12. Lord James Hay, chairman of the Aberdeen rail way, Provost Blakey, and the other magistrates of the city, received the Queen. Her Majesty arrived at Stone haven at 12 minutes after 1, and had luncheon ; left at 39 minutes after 1, and reached Forfar at 53 minutes after 2, Perth at 58 minutes after 3, and Stirling at 57 minutes after 4. At these stations there were large assemblages, military bands, and guards of ho nour, and at Stirling, where the depot of the 42d were drawn up to receive her Majesty, Captain Wilkinson, lately returned for the Crimea, was recognised and called forward by the Queen. The train left Stirling at 2 minutes past 5, and arrived at Edinburgh at a quarter after six—so punctual to the time table that the mean variation was only 1 minute in 176 miles. Her Majesty was received at St. Margaret's station, Edinburgh, by the Duke of Buceleuch, Major-General Viscount Melville, Mr. Sheriff Gordon, the Hon. Col. &c. The royal party drove in a succession of closed carriages to Holyrood Palace, and the cheering of a considerable assemblage. In the vestibule there her Majesty was received by the Duke of Hami:ton, the Lord Provost, &e. The park was lined by the 7th Dra goon Guards, the Edinburghsbire and 2d Lanarkshire Militia, and the 72d and 92d Highland Depots. A salute was fired from the Castle guns on the Queen's arrival. Yesterday morning her Majesty left St. Margaret's station, Edinburgh, at a quarter before eight o'clock. Notwithstanding the early hour of departure, half the their respects to their Q e r turnedillustrious e c o pay iesort. Besides the royal car riage, the train co nsis ted of an engine and tender, two loyal citizens andh first class carriages for servants, pages, and other at tendants, family carriage for gentlemen of the suite, first.class carriage for directors and the press, and two carriage trucks, Leaving St. Margaret's station, the train passed Portobello at 7.50, Inveresk at 7.55, and arrived at Dunbar at 8.26, where there was a pause of five minutes to take water into the engine. At Berwick upon-Tweed, where the train arrived at a quarter pest 9, there was a slight stoppage for the purpose of chang ing the engine. At 5 minutes before 11 o'clock the train reached the station of Newca.stie-upon-Tyn e . Her Alajesty wag m ist enthusiastically received at this point. The engine having been changed, the train proceeded on its course, and (lid nc.t again stop until it arrived at Dar lington at 12. Water having been supplied to the engine, the train proceeded southward, and arrived at York at 5 minutes after 1, where the royal party stopped to lun cheon. Her Majesty was welcomed by a vast number of the citizens of York, and was loudly cheered on pas sing from her carriage to the hotel. After a lapse of 35 minutes, the royal train again proceeded on its way to the metropolis. Her Majesty arrived at the King's-cross station, at half-past 6, and was received by several gentlemen offi cially connected with the railway. A large number of persons assembled to witness the arrival. Several car riages were in attendance, and the royal party imme diately after leaving the train proceeded to Windsor. The royal children who have been staying at Osborne during her Majesty's absence in Scotland left yesterday for London. THE ROYAL TRAIN AT DARLINGTON. The royal train arrived at Darlington Bank-top Sta tion yesterday a few minutes before noon. Au immense concourse of persons had assembled, amongst wh om a large proportion of Quakers were conspicuous, one of their body, Mr. H. Pease, the late visitor to the Court i of St. Petersburg, having,as p resident of t he Darlington Mechanics' Institute, been deputed to present his Reyal Highness Prince Albert with an address. T he circum stances will be best gathered f rom the following : " May it please your Royal H i g hness,—We, the Chair man and Committee of the Dar lin g ton Pol y tec hnic Exhi bition—one of the main object s of which is t he liquida tion of a debt of 8001. on the b uildin g of th e mechanics' institution in our town— appro ach your Royal Highness with the respect that is due to one who has at all times made hie exalted position instrumental in forwarding the blessings of education, to thank you for the patronage you have condescended to afford us, by the loan of a model of the Fairy, the elegance and comple teness of which have called forth the admiration of all who have examined it. During the six weeks in which the exhibition has been opened, its educational objects have been supported by the native talent of our town in lectures and music; and the constant attendance of all classes of her Majesty's 'subjects has testified their appreciation of the means adopted for instruction and amusement. The catalogue which accom panies this address will show your Royal Highness the cha racter of the exhibition.

BERLIN, WERRESDAT. The telegraph from St. Petersburg informs us that on the 15th the English landed a small force at Kinburn, not far from the Salt Lakes. In the evening six steamers began to bombard Kinburn. The fortress replied, and one vessel was injured. On the 16th a cannonade took place between the fortress of Kinburn and the gun-boats of the Allies. There is nothing new from the Crimea. The Allies still continue to hold the ridge facing the valley of Baidar. PARIS, OCT. 18. The Ilioniteur publishes a letter from Admiral Bruat, dated 2d Oct., which announces that an expedition against Taman and Fanagoria has com pletely succeeded. On the 24th Sept. Commandant Bonet left Kertch for Taman with 10 gun-boats, an aviso, and a Steamer. On I,rriving off Fanagoria he threw some shells into tile redoubt, and proceeded to disembark at about mile from the fort. During this interval the Russians abandoned the plaice, and the Allies took possession of it in the presence of a force of cavalry from GOO to 800 strong, which retired immediately a few shells were thrown among them. On the following day our troops were-employed in destroying all the houses in Fanagoria that could have been converted into shelter for troops at Cape St. Paul. 66 cannon and 4 mortars were found in the fort ; at Taman there were 11 24- pounders buried in the sand. By the 2d Oct. the destruction of Taman and Fanagoria was complete. No loss was sustained by the Allies. The expedition was about to return to Kertch. Commandant Bonet warmly eulogises the active co-operation of Capt. Hall, with three gun-boats. BERLIN, THURSDAY, OCT. 18. A despatch received from St. Petersburg states that on the 29th of September the Russian army attacked Kars. I❑ consequence of several officers of high rank having been killed or wounded early in the action, the assault was unsuccessful. General Mouravieff adds that, notwithstanding their losses, the Russian troops captured 14 Turkish flags, and that the blockade of Kars is re-established on the same footing as before the attack. ST. PETERSBURG, OCT. 17. Yesterday the cannonade between the enemy's gun-boats and the fcrtress of Kinburn was re newed. There is nothing new from other parts of th• Crimea. The Emperor of Russia has instituted a com mission at Kieff to examine all prisoners from the Foreign Legions in the service of the Allies. They are not to be treated as prisoners of war, but handed over to their respective Governments. It is said that Austria has renewed her decla rations to the Western Powers to defend the whole line of tit* Danube against the Russian at tack ; but that she at the same time deprecated any movement towards the Pruth. Accounts from Constantinople of the Bth state that the Anglo-Turkish Contingent had left that city for - Varna. Many Russian prisoners had been sent to the Isle of Princes. NAPLES, OCT. 13. Bands of armed men are collecting in Sicily. Troops have been sent against them. THE OVERLAND MAIL. TRIESTE, WEDNESDAY. The steamer Bombay has arrived in 131 hours, from Alexandria.

The expedition seems unsettled, and will assur edly sail this week unless the weather should turn out very unfavourable. The Light (not the Hus sar) Brigade of Cavalry have received orders to hold themselves in readiness to embark, and it is believed they are going to Eupatoria. Our desti nation is kept as close as possible. I am almost afraid to say where I think we are going to, but with much deference suggest that it is intended as a feeler towards Perekop and Nicholaieff. The following is the distribution of the forces of the expedition to be embarked under Brigadier- General Hon. A. Spencer : Ship. Regiment. Officers. Men. Horses. H.M.S.

From that distribution some alterations and deviations will no doubt be effected—some addi tions to the ships, some few mistakes perhaps. But at present the men are all embarked, and every thing is ready for the departure of the troops. The mixed Commission which has been sitting in Sebastopol to divide and value the warlike stores and provisions abandoned by the enemy in their retreat from the place, has combined the functions of the three infernal Judges with great skill, and * 15 . tons of stores, 4c. 6 gnus, 6 wag ;0 110 . ;15 carts, has been by turns Minos, - lEacus, and Rhadaman thus—for, although it certainly has condemned no one to death, it has consigned many worthless bodies of materiel to destruction.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The following despatches have been received " ANGERS, Oct. 16, Midnight. —A verdict has been returned. Secretain, Attibert, and Pasquier aro condemned to transportation ; eleven of the prisoners to imprisonment in a fortress ; eleven to simple banishment ; and the rest have been ac quitted." " TRIESTE, 16th.—Accounts have been received from Athens to the 12th. The fete of King Otho was celebrated in a very brilliant manner. The new ministry has published its programme. Its principal points are—fidelity to the King ; execu tion of all obligation towards foreign powers ; maintenance of strict neutrality—solicitude for the public safety, and reform in all the branches of the administration." MADRID, 16th.—The coalition which was re cently formed between the Ultra-Progressistas and the Democrats, in order to carry on a systematic opposition to the Ministry, is dissolved. M. Bruil, the Minister of Finance, remains at his post. The cholera goes on increasing. The Government has applied to the Cortes for authorisation to grant a loan of 66 millions of reals to the Ebro Company. The Emperor and the Duke de Brabant left St. Cloud at one o'clock yesterday afternoon, and pro ceeded to St. Vincennes. After visiting the chapel and the Salle d'Armes, his Majesty and the Prince went to the Polygon, where firing-practice from rifles, cannon, and mortars, was executed. The august visitors afterwards went to the Fort de la Faisanderie, and after being present at the exer cises of the pupils of the Gymnastic School, re turned to St. Cloud at half-past six. During the absence of the Emperor and the Duke, the DucheLs de Brabant, accompanied by the Prince and Prin cess de Chimay, drove through various parts of Paris. In the evening, the artistes of the Palais Royal performed at St. Cloud Les Premieres Armes de Richelieu, and La Rue de la Lune. BOURSE, October 17, Two o'clock.—The Threes opened at 65f. 45c., but this price could not be maintained, and they are now at 65f. 20c. Mobi lier which had improved to 1,290 have receded to 1,270. Railway Shares, which had opened with a rally of sf. and 10f., have returned to yesterday's prices. It has been announced that the Bank of England and the Bank of France have entered into a financial treaty, in order to avoid in future the monetary difficulties which have taken place during the last fortnight between these two esta blishments. Half-past Three.—A complete panic was caused in Rente at the close of the market, by a report that the Treasury had authorised the discount of the titles of the last loan, which could not be dis counted until now.

A letter from Bucharest, of the 4th, says : " The Grand Vornik E. Balleano has at length yielded to the solicitations of his friends and ac cepted the post of Minister of the Interior. He was for several years one of the most influential members of the opposition, and signed the different addresses directed against the Government of the Hospodar Stirbey, but has not dared to prolong a resistance which might have passed in the eyes of the present Government for systematic ill-will. A complete remodelling of the ministry is talked of. During the last month the attention of the admi nistrative council of the principality has been taken up with the question of procuring the necessary supply of wheat. The council has fixed the price of bread at such a rate that the poorer classes may be able to obtain it, and in order to cover the ex pense which may result from the measure, an additional duty has been established on the export of corn, which duty will be maintained until the harvest of 1856." GREECE. Letters from Athens speak in no measured terms of the unbounded joy which is felt by the people at the retirement of Kalergis. The Greeks appear to see in this a second liberation cf their country, and attribute the result of the late diplomatic diffi culties solely to the firmness displayed by their King. The newly-formed ministry is said to be such as to afford room for the most brilliant hopes, and the names of Trikupis, Sinolenitz, Miaulis, and Bottley, are taken as some pledges fir the coming of a better time. Whether these sanguine expecta tions are destined to be realised remain yet to he seen. Whatever may be its views in respect to Russia, it is probable that it will keep them to it self, at all events until a more favourable time shall be offered for their promulgation. The King has been given clearly to understand by the °am bassadors of the Western Powers that he &one will be considered responsible for any disturbance which mac take place, and for any demonstration in favour of Russia within the limits of his Ma jesty's kingdom. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 4.—General Beatson, in command of the riotous Bashi Bazouks collecting at the Dardanelles, has arrived here to concert with General Vivian. The Sultan visited in state the Grand Council at the Porte to-day. This ceremony takes place every year, in the Turkish month of Muharrem (the first of the Ottoman year), and is generally productive of some great national innovation. On the present occasion the Sultan made a neat and appropriate speech, enjoining his ministers to improve the con dition of the country and people by the introduc tion of railroads. His Majesty also calls upon all the governors and vice-governors of the provinces to pay special care to the wants of the population over which they are called to administer. The President of the Grand Council, in his reply, stated that a new code of laws was in course of being dis cussed, which will respond to the wishes of his Majesty. The people, I am sorry to say, do not place confidence in these acts of concession in their favour. Every year at this season the same re petitions are made, and invariably fall to the ground when the excitement has passed. The gales of the 28th of September have occa sioned great losses in the Archipelago. At Salonica four English merchant-vessels were wrecked in the port. The English and French cavalry regiments are coming down to Constantinople to winter. Huts are being constructed at Haidar Paeba plain for the former; the latter have beds ready to receive them at Maslak, near Pera. The Trebizond mail has not ; arrived the only intelligence from Asia is of a private c h arac t er . _ Omer Pacha has announced that the season is too far advanced to undertake operations in 1855. In the spring, 1856, with the fine weather, he will be ready to act on the offensive. The Borsenhalle AUSTRIA. of Hamburg • particulars gives the following respecting the state domains of Austria, a portion of which are about to be transferred to the bank of Vienna. The domains comprise 442 square miles (German) containing 111 towns, 51 castles, 5,471 villages anclmarket places, 730 isolated farms, 1,655,065 inhabitants. Since 1802, land of the value of 38 millions florins has been sold (the florin is somewhat less than 2f. 50c.) Their total value was estimated at 238 millions, so that if the value of 150 millions be transferred to the bank, a balance of 50 millions will remain to the State. A large portion of the land transferred to the bank is situated in Hungary. The totality of the domains in Hungary produced a revenue of 2,650,000 of which 1,013,000 fl or i ns was from Ewa. florins, • - - - - - gary Proper, 98,000 from Croatia and Slavonia, 1,475,000 from the Banat and the Hoirvodine,'and 73,000 from Transylvania. In esteeming the revenue at 2i per cent., we find that the value of the domains in Hungary is fifty-six millions. RUSSIA. A letter from St. Petersburg, in the Cologne Gazette, says : " It is known that hitherto the Czars, notwithstand ing all the efforts they have made since the time of Peter. .. the Great, have not succeeded in subjecting to the official church the old believers of the Greek Church, the Starowerzes, the Duchaborzes, and the Roskoluicks. This submission has only been exterual, for the funda mental principle of the reform effected by Peter the Great, that which makes the Czar the Protector and the Primate of the Eastern Church, has always been considered by these sects as opposed to the will of God, and only established for temporal interests. A secret society has, it is said, been formed, composed of members of these sects, under the name of Perst Bochi, the Finger of God, who see in all the unfortu nate events of the present war, and even in the death of the Emperor Nicholas, a manifest of the Divine Will, and predict the renewal of the speedy indepen dence of the Patriarchal Church, on which Peter the Great imposed by force a temporal chief. There are many priests, even at St. Petersburg, who share in these sentiments although in the ecclesiastical schools, the government constantly enforces the official doctrine, and the police in general have great difficulty in preventing the propagation of these ideas." WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS . SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY MORNING. By the Royal mail steam-ship Tyne, Capt. Val ler, we have dates from Jamaica, Sept. 27, Porto Rico, 30 ; Demerara and Trinidad, 25 ; Barbadoes, 27 ; St. Thomas, Oct. 1. The Tyne brings 59 passengers, 548,505 dollars in specie, 10,000 dollars value in jewellery, and a cargo of sarsaparilla, pine apples, (tc. At Jamaica trade continued extremely languid. The Legislature would meet on the 16th inst. The weather was intensely hot, and the island generally healthy. A better feeling was exhibited in the markets. Exchanges, 60 days, 11 per cent. prem. At Tobago affairs had slightly improved. An amended Constitution, similar to that of Jamaica, had come into operation. The island was healthy, and the weather favourable. At Barbadoes the weather was wet, and the prospects of a large crop excellent. At Demerara the weather had been dry, and ex ceedingly favourable for maturing the sugar-cane, many crops of which have considerably improved. Business among the merchants was more brisk. Intelligence from Grenada reports the island healthy, but business still depressed. The planta tions had derived benefit from the weather, but the want of labour was still felt. At Trinidad heavy rains had prevailed through out the month, and the young canes were growing fast. In some instances, however, the crops had suffered materially from the storms. THE RUSSIAN DEFEAT AT KARS. HAMBURG, Oct. 15.—A private despatch has been received here from an authentic source, which gives Foine retails of the Russian defeat before Kars on Michaelmas-day. The battle lasted for more than eight hours, and was carried on with the greatest desperation on both sides ; the Russians appearing determined to take the place, and the Turks man fully resoled to keep possession of it. At one time the Russians succeeded in taking two batte ries ; but before they had time to turn the guns round, or even to spike them, the Turks rushed upon them with such vigour as not only to regain possession of the batteries, but this movement, being effected suddenly, to decide the fortune of the day. Being repulsed with such fury, the Russians were quite taken by surprise, and fell back upon their comrades, who were thrown into confusion. The Turks then rushed out of the fortress, and mas sacred an enormous number of the enemy, before they had time to form their ranks and recover from their surprise. The despatch (which is from. a Russian source) adds that although a great num ber of killed and wounded were carried off the field of battle during the action more than 4,000 were left dead under the walls of the fortress. A couple of hundred Russians were made prisoners, and some pieces of ordnance fell into the hands of the Turks. In consequence of this disaster, adds the despatch, the Russians determined to raise the siege, and when the courier left they were making preparations to carry this resolution into effect. THE CATALRY ACTION NEAR EUPATUBIA. PRINCE GORTSCHAKOFF'S REPORT. The following is Prince Gortschakoff's report of the above affair, published in a supplement to the Involide Russe of October 9 : " On the 29th of September, at break of day, the enemy, consisting of a considerable force of in fantry, cavalry, and artillery, went from Enpatoria in the direction of Tegesch. " Our detachments of observation were thus dis posed :—Lieut.-General de Korff, with a regiment of Lancers of her Royal Highness the Grand Du chess Catherine Mikhailovna, and the light battery of horse artillery, No. 19, at Tup Mamai and Orta Mamai, and Major-General Terpelevsky, with the regiment of Lancers of the Archduke Leopold, at Tegesch. " In accordance with the instructions which had • been issued for the case of an attack by the enemy in superior force, these two detachments were to fall back, the first on Karagourt, and the second en Buz Oglou. Major-General Terpelevsky exe cut d this order ; but Lieutenant-General de Korff, before arriving at Karagourt, having lost sight of the enemy, who was marching in pursuit of Major-General Terpelevsky, halted between Kouroulon-Keneghez and Koughill, made his men dismount in order to raise the guns from their fore-carriages, and did not dispose his advanced posts in convenient order, and at the requisite distance from his position. The result was, that a great part of the enemy's cavalry, numbering from two to three thousand men, making a rapid movement to the right, appeared suddenly on the right flank and the rear of Lieut.- General de Korff, who after that had no time to draw up for battle or prepare for a combat. The regiment of Lancers were compelled to disperse and to fall back upon Karagourt, fighting with the enemy. Six pieces of the Horse Artillery opened • fire on the appearance of the enemy ; but they had lost the opportune moment of attack, and they were surrounded and captured. Two other pieces which were not loaded were replaced on their car riages, and carried off at a gallop. .‘ Our loss consisted of 150 Lancers, one subal tern officer, and the six pieces, with a part of their • attendants." THE OUTRAGE ON THE QUEEN. Frnm the Jersey Times, just received, we learn that, the deputation having waited on the Lieutenant-Governor at Government-house (where were also the Bailiff and Crown-officers), and laid before his Excellency the reso lutions passed by the meeting, his Excellency assured the deputation that he should take immediate measures to carry out the wishes of the community. We further learn that on Monday the Constable of St. Helier verbally communicated to M.M. Piancini (the proprietor), Ribeyrolles (the editor), and Thomas (the distributor of the journal L' Somme), his Excelleney'S Commands, that they do quit the island on or before Sa• turday, the 20th inst. The proceedings of the meeting have been communi• cated to the French and British Governments. LLOYD'S SHIPPING--(THIS DAY.) LONDON, Oct. 18.—Wind this day at noon, W. ; light airs and fine.
