The Bank of England has just raised its rate of discount to 4), per cent. CITY, Two o'CLocK., The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed 11111 1 little animation and a good su pply. Paces of American were barely d. per lb. dearer t Yuan last week. The sales were 10,000 bales, I, eludin g 1 , 5 00 for export and 2,500 on specula tion ; comprising 150 Pernam and Maranham, at sic]. to Bd. ; Bahia, at 61d. to 60. ; 100 gYptian, 6d. t o 71d. ; an d 800 S ura t, 31d. t o 41 d. per lb. In Railway Shares there was a moderate amount of business transacted, and P r ices were a shade lower than on Tuesday. ilia Essex has arrived from Melbourne, with 110.28 ounces of gold on board. Accounts from the Danube state that the Rus alall Government has not prohibited the exporta tion of grain, and that the inhabitants of Odessa a d memorialised the Emperor Alexander to per lilt them to ship grain as well as the merchants of L ke Sea of Azoff. The Madrid letters report favourably of the pro r.eBB of the voluntary loan, and state that the lance Minister expected to meet all the engage ments of the Treasury by October next. The payment of the Turkish Loan instalment ha ving t. been effected, there is less pressure for money, although it is likely for the present to con lutie in good demand. The view taken as to the : 48 costly character of the war in future is con nled by th e news j us t rece i ve d f rom P ar i s th at the Russia ns i n th e nor th ern f or t s were lik e l y t o e e a Pitulate, and should such prove to be the case a 541 Paratively small force would be enabled subse quently to hold the Crimea with the co-operation 4 : s f our fleet. The important supplies also that have t l e i ell obtained will prove acceptable, and perhaps Only alloy to the universal satisfaction is the '. 8 4 that the German powers, siding with the win j Powers, may seek to obtrude their office of "'ervention and obstruction. In th e English Funds there is scarcely any busi eas doin g , an d th e d ou bt w h e th er th e B an k h as Z r uPleted its sales necessarily deters purchasers ° . lll Coming forward. It would be desirable that t his i stat e o f suspense s h ou ld cease as ear l y as pos tle but probably the Bank, if it has not yet sold th e full amount intended, is indisposed to accept be e current rates, and has a higher limit. The job ra will k ee p th e mar k e t d own un til the f ac t i s ts ee rtained, for their own protection, as they w : U ld otherwise be saddled for a time with a 1 e rabundant supply of Consols, which they 411)114 keep until buyers come forward, and this is c.iltrary to their ordinary policy of turning their ti Pita l with the least possible delay and at a frac :l4l profit, rather than exposing themselves to Nt ilti ngencies, even with a fair prospect of larger 9 0 , 117a ate gain.

BANKRUPTCY COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner liolroyd.) IN RE W. BROWN. This was a meeting for adjourned last examination. The bankrupt was described as of Great Russell-street, linendraper. The balance-sheet commenced Oct., 1350, and ended Dec., 1854, and shows debtor to creditors, 2,841/. ; legacy from Miss Drew, 1,2251. ; cash received from pawnbroker, holding security, 1,0321. ; creditors, by good debts, 1/. ; property, 1771. ; ditto in hands of creditors, pledged for 1,0321., cost 1,5481. ; trade ex penses, 5461. ; repairs to premises, 461. ; losses, 1,8591. ; house and personal expenses, 471/. ; deficiency at com mencement, 4411. The following memorandum was appended to the balance•sheet :—The property in the hands of several pawnbrokers was pledged by my brother, unknown to me at the time. The tickets were destroyed, but I presume that it will realise 3621. for the benefit of my estate (less interest and ex penses). Among the articles pawned were 1,337 pieces of silk handkerchiefs. The examination of the bankrupt was adjourned at the former hearing sine die, with protection for one month on account of the unsatisfactory nature of the accounts. Since that the bankrupt had been prison. The amended accounts had since been filed, but were not considered satisfactory. It having been explained that the bankrupt's brother who pledged the property had since died, and that the pawnbrokers were willing to put the assignees in the same position as if the tickets were in existence. His Honour said, be thought the bankrupt had made the best statement he could, and as he had been three months in prison, and there was an estate of 3631. 31. 9d. he should allow him to pass. The bankrupt accordingly passed his examination. CITY SHERIFF'S COURT. (Before R. Gurney, Esq., Q.C.) KATE FLYERS V. DAVID LAZARUS--LOVE AND JEAL OUSY.—This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a Jewess under age, by her "next friend," David Solon:ions, to recover lis. from the defendant for wilfully destroying a brooch containing a photographic portrait of her in tended husband. His Honour-- Who is David So:omons who sues for you as your " next friend ?" Plaintiff --My sister's intended. (Laughter.) The defendant she said resided next door to her (plaintiff), and wished to pay his addresses to her, but she declined his attentions, informing him she was already engaged. His Honour—l should think he must be your next friend. (Laughter.) Plaintiff—About five weeks Ago last Sunday defen dant came in to her house just she was about to dress herself, and went to the fire-place, where, seeing the brooch lying on the mantle shelf be took it up, saying " Then, this is he," put it, under his foot and crushed it to atoms ; giving her to understand that that was the way be should like to serve the happy and favoured reality who had supplanted hits in the affections of the blooming Kate. The defendant did not appear. His Honour gave judgment for the amount claimed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(TIIIS DAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. John Collins, the man remanded, charged with ob. obtaining 6d. by false pretences from Mrs. Perkins, of Leicester, was again placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman Wire. The prisoner, it will be recollected, is one of th ose men who prowl about the neighbourhood of th e B an k victimising strangers, especially females, w h o a li g h t with luggage from the various omnibu , es plying in the neighbourhood. The prosecutrix not being present the prisoner was further remanded till to-morrow to procure her attend ance. GUILDHALL. ROBBING AN EMPLOYER.—Mary Ann Phillips, a young girl, was charged before Sir J. Duke with robbing her master, Mr. Michael Kelley. The prosecutor's wife deposed that her husband kept the Lion-in-the-Wood public-house, in Wilderness-lane, Salizbury-square, and that the prisoner had been in their service as servant of all work about 6 weeks. Sh e had missed two brooches, a tablecloth, flowers, &e., since she bad been with them. Yesterday some of the articles were brought back to her, having been given up . to her aunt and mother-in-law, who were not present to give evidence. The prisoner was remanded on her own recognisances a appear again to-morrow. BOW-STREET. STEALING LETTERS.—A respectably-attired young man, named George Bailey, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing a letter containing money, which had come into his possession in the capacity of assistant to Mr. Bridger, of the Bishopsgate-street Within post-office. Mr. Sculthorpe, deputy comptroller of the circulation department, stated that there was a post-office at No. 49, Btshopsgate-street Within, kept by Mr. Bridger, at which numerous applications have been made, with re spect to the loss of letters containing money. In accordance with the authority of the Post-Mas ter General he tested the honesty of the per. sons engaged there, and he made up a letter yester day at half-past twelve, in which he enclosed a half sovereign, a sixpence, four penny postage stamps, and a postage medallion envelope, all of which he had previ ously marked in the presence of Cole. Having closed the envelope he addressed it " Miss Thompson, Castle hill, Hastings," and having placed two stamps upon the letter, he gave it to Cole to post. If the directions had been complied with, the letter would have reached the G.P.0., St, Martin's-le-Grand, at half-past one, with the one o'clock collection of the Bishopsgate district. He was in the office when the collection arrived, but the letter he had made up was not to be found. He then, ac companied by Cole and a policeman, went to the Bishops gate-street office, where he saw Mr. Bridger and the prisoner Bailey. On questioning Bailey about a money letter addressed to Hastings, he said he had stopped one of that address. He then directed Peake to search him, and a pocket-book was found in which the letter was discovered, but it contained neither the money nor stamps. The marked money was found on the prisoner by Smee. On being charged with stealing the letter, he said he had only stopped it ; and on being asked if he had ever "stopped" any other letters, he replied yes, and one of the letters he had stopped contained a pencil case, which he had up-stairs, but he did not know what bad become of the letter. Cole then gave evidence of the posting of the letter, as directed by Mr. Sculthorpe, at the post-office kept by Mr. Bridger at 49, Bishopegate-street-within. Other evidence having been given, The magistrate fully committed him for trial. THE CABIN, DISASTEL—With reference to a rumour which some months ago prevailed in this country, and found its way to India, whence it has been again re vived, we are requested to state that since the return of our army from Cabul no intimation has reached the Go• vernment of India of the detention of any nfficer of thy latt gatial Wee in Central Akio, TUSCANY AND SARDINIA. The occurrences which have lately widened the breach between the courts of Tuscany and Pied mont are thus stated in the letter of a Turin cor respondent:— TURIN, SEPT. 7.—Count Antonia, Casati was attache of the Sardinian legation at Constantinople. In the month of July last ho was appointed to fill the post of the same rank at Florence. But before he proceeded there the usual announcement was made to the Grand Ducal Government. The cabinet of Florence replied, that it had no objection, and that it accepted the nomi nation in question. At the end of July, Count Casati repaired to Florence, but shortly after his arrival the Duke of Casigliano, the Grand Duke's Minister of Foreign Affairs, demanded from the head of the Sardinian legation, the Marquis Sauli, the recall of the young attache. He based the demand in question on the fact that M. Casati was the son of the former chief of the Provisional Government of Lombardy, that as such he could not be received at court, nor would he be invited to the parties or balls given at the Pitti Palace. The Marquis Sauli replied that these remarks were somewhat late, and that, as they had not been made opportunely, he could not consent to the recall demanded. He added that M. Casati was only 18 years old when the revolution broke out in Lombardy, and that he could not on any pretext be placed in the same position as his father ; that M. Casati being a Sardinian subject, and in the service of the King, and having, moreover, been already accepted as attache by the Tus can Government, he ought to enjoy all the rights and pri vileges secured to the members of all foreign legislation. M. de Casigliano, however, insisted on his demand, and then the Marquis Sauli requested him to be so good as to write a note to bins on the subject. It was after the reception of this note that the King's Government sent orders to the Marquis Sauli to quit Florence with all the members of the legation. The Marquis has by this time already embarked at Leghorn, and he may arrive here at any moment, where he is expected. It appears that the Count of Montessuy, the French Minister of Florence, took steps with a view to settle this diplomatic understanding in an amicable manner, but the Tuscan Government bad made up its mind, and not choosing to withdraw its demand, the Sardinian Govern. ment was compelled, on its side, to persist in the deter mination it hal taken. Tuscany has hitherto been the only State in Italy in which a minister of the King of Sardinia has resided with a complete staff, as at Rome and Naples there are only charges d'affaires. THE HARVEST IN IRELAND. DUBLIN, Wednesday Morning.—The condition and prospects of the crops throughout a district embracing tb e counties of Louth, Cavan, Monaghan, .Armagh, Tyrone, and Derry are thus described in a communication from Mr. John Lamb, the intel ligent and impartial correspondent of the Northern Whig : " Wherever I went the harvest labour was progress. ing most favourably, but the grain seemed to be ripening faster than usual ;in fact, it was what is termed a hot harvest,' and there seemed to be quite a want of hands to cut it. There is an unusual number of women and girls to be seen in the harvest field this year. The dearth of hands in the south and west is much greater than in the linen districts. The oat crop is muolr better in the west, which I visited some weeks ago, than those eastern counties that I have just been through. This year Connaught will beat Ulster in oats, very decidedly. On the whole, the oat crop will not be an average ore—nothing like the produce of last year, so far as the north is concerned. All the farmers I have conversed with tell me their crop of wheat is good, and some say theirs is most excellent, both as to quantity arid quality—one, in particular, whom I stopped to converse with, midway between Banbridge and Newry. He said it was the best crop of wheat he bad gathered in for the last seven years. From all I could learn I believe the wheat is very little in jured by the heavy rains. The barley is a good deal the worse for it. A great shower of hail which fell some two or three weeks ago did serious damage to the crops in the county Cavan, particularly about Belturbet ; the pople said it was more like a shower of broken ice tha❑ ordinary hailstones. It passed from west to east, and extended about half a mile wide. The potato dis ease is nearly universal ; but, so far, it is very super ficial—confined mostly to the leaves. We are, I think, likely to have a large and good crop. Even if one• fourth should be diseased we could spare them, and have a most abundant crop after all. The turnips and green crops generally are very much better than last year. Some farmers complain greatly of bad flax seed this season ; but where the seed was good and the ground in proper condition the crop is generally good ; yet there will be a considerable portion of inferior flax-e-so the scutchers report." THE CUDHAZf TRAGEDY. BROMLEY, Wednesday Evening.—A few days since it was reported that the man Clarke, a tramp, who was formerly a private in the Guards, had been arrested at Havant, near Portsmouth, by the Hampshire police, on suspicion of his being concerned in the diabolical murder at Cudham. After Superintendent Harvey, of the Hampshire police, had communicated on the subject of the man's arrest with inspector Baxter, he proceeded with his prisoner to the scene of the murder, and, in accordance with preconcerted arrangements, Clarke has undergone a strict examination before J. J. Wells, E-q , county magistrate, before whom the charge against Pal ing is pending. The result of Clarke's examination, as was surmised, has been the accused's full acquittal from so serious a charge as being the principal, or even a par ticipator, in the appalling crime which has for the lest few days alarmed and horrified the county. The accused was brought up before J. J. Wells, Esq., at the magis trate's clerk's office, when Mr. Latter, rhe chief clerk, elicited from Clarke, who has, in fact, declared his entire innocence throughout since his arrest, that nn the day of the murder, the 25th ult., he was at a brick field at Peckham, inquiring for work. Thereupon vs such a statement if proved correct, would be clear and sufficient evidence of the man's entire innocence, the prisoner was requested to accompany Superinterrient Handley and Inspector Baxter to the brickfiehl, and prove his statement correct. Accordingly, the prisoner was accompanied by the superintendent and inspector to ,Peckham, and proceeding to the brick-field men tioned he was there identified by several persons em ployed about the field as the man who asked for em ployment there on the 25th ult. It further appeared he was in the field about half-past seven in the morning, thereby putting it quite out of the question that he had a hand in the dreadful affair, which must have taken place about that period. Clarke was conveyed back to Bromley still in custody, but the worthy magistrate im mediately ordered his release, observing, not the slight est acctisalion could be hinted against the man as being; concerned in the dreadful crime. In fact, no direct sus picion ever rested against Clarke, and facts have since come to light which will establish the dreadful crime against the really guilty. MARKET NEWS.-(TIIIS DAY.)

GILLY.—We have to record the death of the Rev. Dr. Wm. Stephen Gilly, which happened at Norham, near Berwick-on -Tweed, on Monday last. Dr. Gilly was the author of several theological books which have achieved a high reputation. He was presented, in 1826, by the late Bishop of Durham, to a canonry in his cathedral, and five years later, by the Dean and Chap ter of Durham, to the vicarage of Norham, both of which pieces of preferment he held up to the time of his death. Dr. Gilly was a member of St. Catharine Cam bridge, and took his degree in 1812. He was 67 years of age. FIRES.--Between two and three yesterday morning a fire of a very serious character broke out on the pre mises of Mr. John Finning, grocer and cheesemonger, No. 9, Norland-road, Notting hill, which has been at tended with considerable destruction of property. By dint of the most incessant labour, the flames were at last conquered, but not before the premises of Mr. W. Butten, baker, Mrs. Elizabeth Smith, dairy-keeper, Mr. Ja4. Leonard, pork-butcher, Mrs. Elizabeth Stevenson, milliner, and Mr. Robt. Hutchinson, smith, had been seriously injured. The cause of the catastrophe is at present unknown, and the loss will principally fall on the Sun Fire Office. Between the hours of four and five o'clock, a fire occurred at the premises of Mr. H. Hughes's pitch and tar manufactory, Plough-road, Ber mondsey. The flames were prevented from catch ing the main buildings, and were confined to the boil ing.house. The fire was caused by the over-heating of the boiler. Another fire broke out at No. 32, Alpha road, St. John's-wood, owing to an explosion of an illicit still, which did very considerable damage. As soon as the fire was discovered by the neighbours, two men effected their escape over the garden wall in rear of the premises, and left the premises to their fats. Fortunately Mr. G. R. Staples arrived with his engines very early, or the consequences woulcl have been very gericra. STATISTICS OF FOREIGN COUNTRIES. (Front the Morning Herald of this day.) Mr. Fonblanque has favoured us with a "blue . book" from the Board of Trade, dated " August, 1855," under the title of " Statistical Tables Rela tive to Foreign Countries ;" Part 11. And, as but few people take the trouble to turn over these volumes of figures, it seems to be a part of our duty, whenever any valuable information is hidden in any of these ponderous tomes, to render it avail able to the general reader. Now in the present volume we observe two classes of facts, both of which deserve at least a passing notice. The one has a commercial bearing—the other, a religious one. We will notice each in its turn. I. lu this volume there is furnished to us an extensive view of the wor ki ng of the Zollvere i n, or German Union ; and we have an opportunity of observing how far the promise or prediction of 1546 has been realised—that if we would act liberally towards the continental powers, they would soon act liberally towards us—that if we would open our ports to their corn, they w ou ld soon be found willing to open their ports to our cottons and woollens. We are now in the tenth year since that predic tion was made the basis of British legislation ; and we have before us the proof in these tables, issued by Mr. Fonblanque, that in the seventh year after we had acted on that prediction there was not even a glimmering of a hope in this quarter of any reci procation of our foolish liberality. The population of the coun tries included in the German Union, be it remembered, may be stated in round numbers at 30,000,000. Now such are the duties retained by the Zollverein, that in the year 1853 the amount of ma nu f ac t ure d goo d s imported into the territories of that union for these thirty millions of people may be gathered from these few items. A thaler is about 3s. of English money. The value of the imports under the following heads is (riven in thalers : tt Real value. Cotton manufactures 1,486,260 thalers. Glass Linen manufactures Silk manufactures 4,436,400 „ Woollen manufactures 11,056,760 Or, about 1,685,000/. Thus the thirty millions use of manufactured goods from England or France to the value of about one shilling per head ! The main fact, however, to be observed is this— that there i s no s i gn o f the slightest intention on the part of the Germans of giving up their pro tective duties merely because we have foolishly chosen to give up ours. 11. The other point on which these tables seem to give a little fresh evidence is that which was brought before the public by Mr. Hobart Seymour, in view of the comparative morality of Roman Catholic and Protestant countries. The Romanists build convents, and fill them with young women, iu order to insure their purity. For those who are allowed to live in society they prescribe the confessional, in order that both married and single females may have a constant watch kept over them, and may by these safeguards be kept chaste, or recalled when straying. What is the result ? Mr. Hobart Seymour gave us several startling facts in elucidation of this question ; and now Mr. Fonblanque furnishes us with two or three further ones. He gives us the population, the religious persua sions, and the births of Bavaria, Saxony, Hanover, and Wurteinljur. The first of these German states is predominantly Romish ; the other three are pre. dominantly Protestant. Now, what is the differ ence, if there be any, between these four states, in point of morality ? Let us see. The population of the three states which have chiefly Protestant inhabitants is thus given— Saxony 1,937,832 Hanover 1,819,253 Wurt.emburg 1,802,252 5,609,337 And the births, legitimate and illegitimate, in Cite last year given, are these : Legit. Illegit. Saxony 68,914 Hanover Wurtemburg IS3, 791 27,239 A similar return, for the kingdom of Bavaria, where three-fourths of the people are Roman Catholics, is as follows : Population.. 4,560,658 Legit. 13;rthr; In the Protestant states, the proportion of ille gitimate births to legitimate oues is a little more than one in eight : in the Roman Catholic it is more thin one in five. Davoria And as there are many Protestants in Bavaria who raise the standard of morality, and many Romanists in Hanover, Wurtemburg, &c., who lower the general tono of morality, we cannot doubt that a purely Protestant state, weighed against a purely Roruish one, both situated in Germany, would be found to have less than halt the proportion of vice which ezists in the region of the confessional and the conventual system. SE WAGE OF TOWNS. TO THE EDITOR. OF THE SIN. was pleased by reading your remarks upon the sewage matter of towns in The Snm of Tuesday last. That this matter would form a highly valuable manure there can be no doubt ; although, from many causes, it is far from easy to say which is the best method of rendering it available for such a purpose. _ I have devoted much time to the sewage ques tion, and, as a general principle, feel compelled to decide in favour of intercepting sewers. The plan adopted at Paris is open to many seri ous objections. In the first place, it would be dif ficult, if not impossible, to construct utensils adapted to all classes of houses. Secondly, I fear the daily use of such utensils in large cities would prove an intolerable nuisance, especially during hot weather. With a view, however, towards effecting a par tial adoption of the Parisian plan, I beg to suggest that, in many cases, portable latrines, somewhat similar to those about to be tried at Aldershott, might answer the purpose. If with these peat charcoal were used, a large portion of the offensive effluvia would be deodorised, and a portable con densed manure obtained, which would be of great value. _ _ _______ As one fact is worth a dozen theories, I would mention that Mr. the florist, of Camber well, succeeded in completely deodorising the con tents of a cesspool by peat charcoal, and the manure resulting from the experiment proved very effica cious. Let me call the attention of railway directors to the formation of portable latrines and the use cf peat charcoal at the various stations, from which I am sanguine a large profit would be derived. I am, Sir, yours obediently, THOS. J. PRING, Architect. Wellington-road, Camberwell, Sept. 12. THE 2'RUCK SYSTEM-. At the Stonehouse County Court, on Tuesday, the judge, W. Mackwnrth Praed, E , q., in the case of James Burke v. Thomas Cutts, gave a judgment adverse to the paying of wages on the truck system. Mr. Rundle appeared for the defendant. The plaintiff is a navvy, and had been working for a short time on the excavations at the Morice Town and Devonport Tunnel. Defendant is a contractor. Plaintiff stated that he asked a gauger on the works for employment. The gauger told him a certain day on which he could begin. There was no statement of terms. He received a ticket the first day he worked, and with the ticket he procured some necessaries at the shops at Morice Town. He understood from the men that the people were paid once a fortnight. He had several tickets, and got provisions by means of them. He bad worked eight or nine days, when the defendant brought a paper to him to sign. Defendant stated it was the ar rangement which was signed by all the other men, and it referred to the payment by tickets. He refused to sign it, and was told to leave the work. The time keeper ttlade np the account, and handed over to him 9s. 2?,d., and plaintiff was told that ho bad bad tickets to the amount of the remainder of the wages due to him, 14s. 9d. Plaintiff refused to be satisfied with this ao count, and brought an action to recover the 14s. 9d. The plea put, in by defendant was the general issue, and that payment had been made. His Honour held that " payment " meant payment in cash, and that evidently had not been made, therefore the plea could not be sustained. Mr. Rundle wished to amen d the plea, as the plaintiff had received full value for the money. His Honour declined to allow the plea to be amended, because, be stated, he could not countenance the system of paying wages in bacon, candles, beer, & c.; for he did not believe it would ever conduce to provi dent habits amongst the labouring classes. Mr. Rundle elicite d from the p lain t i ff that he knew he had received q uantities of g oods, but he wanted his money as well. He was ready to pay the tradesmei, for what he had bad, provided they wo u ld produce the tickets be had given them. His Honour said the parties had better arrange that amongst themselves. He gave judgment for plaintiff.

The Crimean Enterprise. By Captain Gleig. Blackwood and Sons. A noticeable work by an untried soldier, who has proved himself a good prophet, and appears to be possessed of no mean skill, in which the asser tions that the course of events in the Crimea were foreseen by uo one, and that if any one prognosti cated disaster no one was capable of projecting a better plan of operations than that carried out by the Allied Generals, are to our thinking summarily disposed of. The author adduces a number of let ters written by him to the Morning Herald, and a plan of campai gn , which show that within two. days of the intelligence reaching this country of the Allies having sat down on the south side of Sebas topol he recorded his reasons for believing that, if a coup de main had failed, the fortress would hold out till the relieving army was disposed of; that after the retreat of the army of Prince Menschikod from the Alma he pointed out the nature of the enemy's strategetical plan ; that he gave warning of the battle of Inkerman, and of the exact nature of the Russian tactics on that critical day ; that having predicted the action of Balaklava, should the strategetical operation which presaged it—viz., the occupation of the south ern range of mountains, with their few and defen sible defiles —be acted upon by th e Russians, he counselled the seizure of these defiles by the allies, having among other things an eye to the army wintering in the Crimea ; and that early in December last, on learning that the Alli e d generals h a d b een ou t w itt e d, he submitted a pla n to an em i nent statesman, indicating a pretty accu rate comprehension of their position and the ne cessity, i n hi s op i n i on, for a change of their basis of operations. This new basis, he argues, should be the peninsula of Kertch—the Russian reinforce ments coming from Kertch and Perekop, and then, Kaffa and Arabat being taken, the enemy would be cut off from tw o sources of supplies, and the Allies would have the best of all bases—a flank one, in which case the conquest of the Crimea, and the consequent fall of Sebastopol, might be insured— the general operating by a do u bl e i nterior line, and as roughly sketched in a diagram accompanying the work, shutting up the enemy to his left in a hostile mountain country where they could not subsist, and marching concentrically, driving them to Perekop, where, if the place be held, they would either be destroyed, or foroed to lay down their arms—meanwhile the south-eastern range of hills and Sebastopol being blockaded, the enemy outside and within the fortress would starve. Such is the nature of the plan recommended by Capt. Gl e i g i n December last, for further particulars respecting which, we must refer the reader to the work itself, at the same time leaving him, as matters are at present, to form his own o pi n i on o f its merits. Female Life among the Mormons. G. Routledge and Co. A strange and startling narrative, of many years personal experience, we are told, by the wife of a Mormon Elder, though not herself a Mormon. Having left home —somewhere on the borders of the Skaneateles Lake, in the State of New York, under peculiar circumstances, the author, it would appear, was entrapped into a marriage with a Mormon Elder during her journey to Utica, in the same State, introduced into the society of the principal Mormons, including that vulgar and audacious impostor, Joe Smith—taken to the Mor mon settlement in Illinois, and from thence, on the death of Smith, to the Great Salt Lake, from the city erected on whose shores, after many years' ex perience of Mormonism, and in imminent peril of her life, she succeeded in making her escape alone —finally reaching her friends, and, after some delay, writing and issuing to the world the pre sent book. Of the revelations thus recorded, we must say, that if one half of the impostures and atrocities charged against the leaders of Mormonism be true, and independent testimony confirms much more than that, and if female life in Utah at all resemble the description, as considering the obvious tendencies of polygamy among such a class of men, possessed of temporal as we ll as sp i r i tual authority, it cannot fail to do, a city of such villanous impos tors and wretched dupes, one in which tyranny and licentiousness are so rampant, and female vir tue and weakness so helpless and depressed, never blotted the face of the earth. The reader is intro duced to a number of life-like characters skilfully portrayed, including.; Joe Smith and his sancti monious and ambitious successor, the most origi nal, however, being a Mrs. Bradish, quite a Semi 'amis in her way. Many of the scenes and inci dents—as the pretended bringing to life of a girl, by Smith, through whose mesmeric powers she had been thrown into a state of catalepsy—Airs. Bradish's feats of daring, and some of the adven tures described in the journey to Utah—are quite thrilling, while from first to last the interest of the narrative is maintained, and the alleged object of the writer kept in view —viz., an exposure of the enormities of th• Mormon system, and the crimes and impostures of its leading members, in order to deter others from being victimised. The book, in conclusion, is deserving of a wide circulation, and it is to be hoped that it will not be without effect among those who are exposed to the wiles of Mor mon agents in this country. The English, CycloyEdia. Cond uc t e d b y Ch arles • Knight. - Bradbury and Evans. The thirtieth part—natural history and geogra phy—of this truly valuable, we may add national, work. The present instalment opens with Silesia, and terminates with Scincida, and is profu se ly illustrated with wood engravings. Judging front what has already appeared, there is every prospect of the English Cyclopaqia being, when completed, the cheapest and most available repository of use ful knowledge extant. Much care is evidently taken to give the amplest inf orma ti on i n b r i e f , down to the latest period, and with the utmost accuracy, as we have found on investigation in several instances. The part contains a useful arti cle on Spain. The Lancet of Saturday contains a noticeable communication from Dr. Barnes, which patholo gists and sanitary reformers will peruse with inte rest, and one or two articles of more or less general moment. Dr. Barnes forcibly urges the necessity of investigation into the general causes of diseases in order to their prevention ; and this he conceives may best be done by the observation of epidemic influences and prevalent diseases, the slighter forms of disease in innumerable instances sow ing the seeds of, or preparing the way for, the more serious maladies and epidemics, themselves varying in character. This obser vation, lie shows, cannot be effected by the perusal of the Registrar-General's returns, which, useful as they are, relate only to the fatal cases, the sort cif thing required being of a similar nature to the register he himself supplies of the cases of disease observed at the London and metro politan free hospitals during the last month. From these it would appear that " the great character of the epidemic (viz., diarrllcea of August)" was not in any specific poison in the atmosphere, but in the alternations of heat and cold, dryness and moisture, and that there was this striking peculiarity about it, viz., a disposition to attack al' the mucous mem branes. The history of the cases adduced "com pletely," in his opinion, "subverts the common pre judice that the diarrhoea is caused by eating fruit and vegetables." "An irritating diet," he remarks, "may affect the intestinal canal, but it cannot account for the pulmonary, renal, and rheuma ttioBinrael to la s t y e m t p ot ins. heS ' un T d h a e y ard ticles o p n r e a v n i d o u t s h l e y a c l a l s u e d e odf in the one, and the arbitrary Palace and the British Museum tre being atgaen tofablythe a u b r o ged v e. named gentleman in the other. bef thechurch removed is ; and e Mr. Maurice, Mr. D onaldson, Archdeaco n Denison, —R ON THE SOUT H - WESTERN RAIL. ministers rs o can FATAL ACCIDENT i vAy. _yesterday, Mr. W.

In answer to one of the jury, Mr. Godatone, who attended on behalf of the company, said that to enclose the line which was in front of the station facing the roadway would be to do away with its use er altogeth • • , as it was for unloading fish and other articles, which it was absolutely necessary to deliver at once. The line was laid down on the private property of the company, and he thought it would be too much to ask them to take it up. Several of the jury having Bug. gested various means to keep children from the tracks, a verdict of " Accidental death" was returned. FRIGIIITITL ACClDENT.—Yesterday Mr. Laker held an inquest at the London Hospital respecting the death of Wm. m oss , aged 14, who had died from an injury be received at a cocoa-nut fibre manufactory, Culstou-street, Whitechapel, where ho was employed. It appeared from the evidence that on Monday the deceased was in the engine-room, where a steam engine of 12-horse power was i n motion. The deceased, who was carrying a basket containing cocoa-nut shavings, said to a lad, "I will show you how to go along a plank." The one he alluded to was near a " drum," which was about six fee in diameter, and which was going at a speed of above 100 revolutions a minute. He walked along the plank a little way, but he was in a moment caught by the gear and hurled a distance of about 12 feet a gainst a wall. He was taken t o th e L on d on H os pital, where be died from the clients of the injury. Verdict, death,"
