ROY irrrn, 3010. WIND, wibh fine sunshiny weather. N IT), ; k (Q) 11111, LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 18, 1855. Another glorious victory in the Crimea ! The Russians, seeking to make a diversion in favour of the hardly-pressed garrison at Sebastopol, made a formidable assault on the position on the Tchernaya, with from 50,000 to 60,000 men, under the com nand of General LIPRANDI. It was a daring and skilfully-devised project ; but, thanks to the v igour and efficiency of our gallant Allies—French and Sardinians—it proved wholly unavailing. The attempted surprise was a total failure ; and, after a severe conflict of three hours, the en emy were driven back, with a loss of between 4,000 and 5,000 men placed hors de combat, and about 400 prisoners, who remained in the hands of the conquerors. The victory was in every respect complete, and was the more satisfa,ctory from the fact of the comparatively little loss sustained by the Allies in the noble defence of their position. There was, of course, some loss in this brilliant affair, and we regret to say that General MONTEVECCIIIO fell mor tally- wounded at the head of his valiant troops, who more than fulfilled the sanzuine anti cipations that had been formed of their efficiency, and proved themselves well worthy to fight by the side of the veteran soldiers of France and England ! We learnt, from the despatch of General PELIS SIER, that - there had for some days been rumours of a premeditated attack on the part of the Rus sians. Earliest preparations were made for a de cisive coup that might prevent or delay the ex pected onslaught on Sebastopol. The sick and wounded wer, N so far as practicable, removed from Sebastopol, and hospital accommodation provided for the casual ides that must be looked for in such a conflict. A repetition of the attack on Inker man was contemplated. Warned, however, by their dearly-bought experience on that occasion, they avoided t he English lines, and fondly hoped that the Sard inians and French would prove easier customelm than the dreaded Islanders. The expedition was, however, futile. The assail ants found a formidable and well - pre pared body of men, who, after a desperate conflict, complletely repulsed them, and had achieved a brilliant victory before the arrival of the French and English reserves, which has tened to the : ipot, burning with enthusiasm to participate in i ;he laurels likely to be gained in the affray. The principa 1 effort of the enemy was directed against Traktiir-bridge, in the valley of the Tchernaya, wh' ich had been held by the Sardinians, Turks, and a I French division. Against this po sition a body of nearly 60,000 Russians moved rapidly on thte morning of Thursday last, and when day broke apparently overwhelming masses of Russians wer 7e found advancing to the onslaught. They had bee n collected during the preceding night, and wer e ready for the earliest moment. As we hare already stated the action lasted three hours, during N rhich the divisions of Generals HER ' BILLON, CAmotr, FAUCIIEUX, and MORRIS, as well as the Sardinian t roops, were engaged. No mention has b ee n made in the telegraphic accounts of the proceedings of the TurkiM 'troops, but as they consisted not of raw levies, but of veterans from th e Danube, the army of we may believe that they also behaved well wherever put to the trial, and shared int the ours of th e g l or i ous day. After a sharp conflict r that time, .41. me, the R uss i an s finding that the contemplated surprise had totally failed, an d that t h ey co uld make no impression . on the gallant defenders, seeing also that the re serves were hastening up, retreated on Macken zies Farm, leaving between 4,000 and 5,000 killed or wonanded, and 400 prisoners. It will be sometime b(rfore they recover the severity of the check they have experienced, or are again in a position to b ecome assailants. It is obvio us that the daring experiment which has so signally failed was adopted as a diversion in favour of Sebastopol, and we can easily see ow urgent a nay have been the applications for some relief frc ru the overworked garrison. It is scarcelyprobab le that;the next attack will be repel led, more espec : .ally if, as ivehave already indicated' there he a combined eftort 1w land and water. AL: ex - alloldiu.:,iy - results of the ilomix- - trdmelat Sweaborg show how much can be accomplished against granite forts even at a long range ; and Sir EDMUND LYONS is just the man to profit by such a lesson if his hands be not tied by secret instructions from home. He can render important services, if permitted to do so ; and, after what has occurred at Sweaborg, we can scarcely suppose that the anxiously-desired permission will be much longer withheld. Another satisfactory symptom is that announced in the despatch from General SIMPSON, which will be found in another column of this day's impres sion. On Thursday, shortly after the decisive repulse of the Russian attack, it was decided by the Allied Generals that the fire from the French and English batteries should be opened at dawn on the following (yesterday) morning. This is probably continued at this moment, and ere many days, perhaps hours, have elapsed, something de cisive may take place to render unnecessary any stipulations respecting the demolition of Sebasto pol, and of the scanty remnant of the Russian fleet that has so long skulked beneath its walls. The Vulcan, which arrived at Dantzic on Thurs day with the mailq, brought full confirmation of the brilliant success at Sweaborg, and also the satisfactory intelligence that not a single life has been lost in the English Fleet. Two officers and about thirty men have been wounded, but not a single one perished in the brilliant affair, nor has there been any ship seziously injured. The most important and heaviest blow struck against Russia since the commencement of the War has thus been achieved without any casualty worth mentioning, to abate the joyous exultation with which the glad tidings had been received. At the time when the Vulcan sailed the re mainder of the Allied Fleet left, some for Nargen and others for Cronstadt. It does not appear that any immediate movement had been made against Helsingfors to complete the operation so nalliantly commenced. We regret that there should he any apparent hesitation as to following up the •-ictory and obtaining its legitimate results. Hel slagfors is a station of immense importance to 6:,ussia. It, is the capital of Finland, the Empo rium of the trade of Northern Russia, and it: dtemolition would strike terror into the hearts ca l'ae enemy, and more than anythina teud to con vince them of the earnestness and uubendiug da ta3rmination, with which we are now resolve' to iirosecute the War. We have so frequently seen tie evil results of allowing any breathing-time to • I:lussia that any delay in following up a victory is o specially to be deprecated. It is possible that the Admiral, after his very successful experiment against Sweaborg„ man laave resolved on an attack on Cronstadt itself. 'Phis is rendered the more probable from the fact that a portion of the fleet steered directly from iaweaborg to Croustadt, on Monday last, and that hose which left for Nargen may have merely gone t hither for the sake of repairing any trifling damage sustained during the bombardment. The Admi ral may possibly calculate on having Helsingfors las easy prey at any moment, that he may be de sirous of completing the work already more than half accomplished, and may wish to go forthwith against the Russian stronghold that covers and !protects her skulking fleet. Should this be so ave should readily forgive the apparent inactivity, more especially if the destruction of Cronstadt iLud the fleet should allow of any operations in the :Neva, and against the Muscovite Capital. After iso brilliant and auspicious a commencement any :thing that could tarnish the laurels he has al :ready gained, and the still more verdant ones he :may hope to acquire, would be truly deplorable. We shall not, however, anticipate any such event, ;but earnestly hope that no sinister influence :may prevail to save the Autocratic plunderer from the humiliation and substantial injury which he has so eminently merited for his wanton attack on an inoffensive neighbour, and his inso lent refusal to avail himself of the too lenient erms offered by the representatives of France and England at Vienna. It is particularly de sirable that he should be so far crippled as to enable the Scandinavian nations to breathe freely by the removal of the sword that has so long been impending, over thair territories. We know that there have been stuiater influences in opera tion ; that Lord JOHN RUSSELL has declared for peace at any price ; awl, considering that Sir CHARLES WOOD was one of his staunchest fol lowers, we may well dread the control which he, as First Lord of the Admiralty, may exercise over the movements and proceedings of the Fleet. We shall therefore look out eagerly for further intelligence from the Bsltic Squadron, - which -nay, we hope, be of such a character as to remove our very natural anxiety. The letter of " A Traveller in Italy," in to-day's Times, eloquently enforces those views which we have put forth in this journal on the policy of England at this crisis. What is termed the Eu ropean system is justly designated. as " a fruit less and pernicious attempt to raise the fair image of peace upon a pedestal of crime," and " opposed in every way to the welfare and improvement of mankind, by checking the development of the only true element of lasting peace, m utual confidence, and good-will between nations." With noble simplicity the writer affirms, that " international morality is our only guide to pe:toe ; and this is comprised in one simple and ;sublime rule—a recognition of the right of every people on the earth to freedom from foreign domination." The closing paragraph of this eloquea t composition is especially remarkable :—. " The present is a crisis in our fate. .England chooses now between virtue and vice for ter future career. May she choose wisely ! Our hope lie s chiefly in our free press, with its infinite power f or ;goo d , b y t h e pro pagation of the true and the just. Anglia Statesmen are a century behind the English pecTi'e, and ev e ry en lightened measure of modern times has been forced upon them by the pressure of public- •op;nion. Lot us remember that we represent not t e interests of a despot, but of a people ; each people a member of the great human family, and the only trine awl permanent welfare of each member is to be found in the welfare of the whole ; in other words, in the pray :ice and th e pro motion of international tnorality.", _ _ _ _ have These are the principles for m hich we contended, for which we are eentei iding, and for which wo will never cease to corn tend. We are perfectly certain that they must f ind an echo in the heart of the largest part of the] -4 ]nglish people, and that time country only desires t o be raised to a sense of their retemitude and p racticability to earnestly adopt their!, and to weld them into our policy as pain and prc_A of our reo 3gnised system of Government, to set them up as 3 beacon to light other nations on their way, and to spread peace — the true peace which springs from contented free dom_not th e b as t ar d peace resu : Iti ng from the crushed lif e an d en f orce d silenea of oppressed races— through the world. Si re desire not such order as reigned in I Varsaw when the st„ etß were fhoded 1 7ith patriotic blood, a n d a fainting overwhelmi ng force, people, beat en down by an awaited, with' mt power of re sistance, the stroke of their ce :ecutioner—not such order as now ro t, .. wis Ita 1y , and Hungary, and Poland, where a symbol of li.ivedorn, however I insignificant, is the signal for • m erc il ess - persecu tion,may afford pretence and a brave look or tone for massacre ;—but the order which springs from from unrestricted pursuits of induhtry, and from a feeling of security and happiness. The Times has nothing to reply to the Travel ler's Letter except that our views are now tem porary and our operations local, because the War in which we are engaged originated in tem porary and local circumstances. What miserable 'ogic is this ! Is policy always to fall so much behind science that we are !lever to inquire into the causes of those effects which injure us. Russia could never have become 90 powerful as she is, and never could have dis turbed the world, had not Austria smoothed the path for her aggression, by crushing every spark of liberty in those noble countries of Central and Southern Europe, which, under free governments, would have opposed an insuperable barrier to Russian ambition. Never will Europe be able to breathe freely until Austrian domination is over thrown, and the right of peoples essentially inde pendent through nationality, to govern them selves, and to live secure from foreign tyranny is recognised as part of the public law of mankind. At this " crisis of our fate," as the Traveller justly terms it, we desire our people to meet publicly, and to state facts which it is impossible to controvert, as— That the existence of the Austrian empire, as at present constituted, presents no barrier to Russian aggression ; but, on the contrary, from the weakness of its internal state, induces it to rely on Russia for support, and from the despotic character of its Government compels it to regard Russia as its natural ally. That the interests of this country, and the independence of Turkey, were betrayed by per mitting Austria to take military possession of the Principalities, and that the direct effect of that most impolitic measure is to bring Russia and Austria Omer together in policy, to unite their interests, and to induce them to plot for the par tition of the Ottoman Empire. That the only security for the real peace, safety, and happiness of Europe is to recognise the prin ciple of the right of nations es:entially indepen •lent to choose their own form of government, and to be free from the domination of any foreign Power ; and that the people of England pledge themselves to exert all their power arid all their energies to c irry out this principle as regards the , ilislaved nationalities of Europe Hungary, Italy, and Poland. Public meetings, having these objects in view, vould give to our policy a nobler character than it has ever assumed before, would warn public men that they will no longer be allowed to trifle with the dearest interests of mankind, and would breathe through Europe the invigorating in luences of Hope, first to be followed by the iohlest, the most thrilling call—and the most ;lorious sentiment that can appeal to the heart of , nan—the summons to arms for Right and Liberty. By this time her MAJESTY, after having been welcomed to the shores of France by the EMPEROR of the French people, will have landed at Bou logne, where a reception awaited her worthy of her exalted position and the momentousness of the occasion that led to the visit. As the Sovereign of a nation in the fore front of greatness and of dominions on which the sun never sets, her MAJESTY'S claims to cordial and most respectful welcome were of the highest. But it will be as a generous hostess become a guest—as a Queen celebrated for her many vir tues—as the representative of a proud line of Kings, and a no less proud people, who for cen turie3 past have been engaged in a bitter war of rivalry with France, and have now become her fastest friends—as the most, august Ally of the Imperial head of a gallant people, arrayed in arms for the preservation of the Freedom and Civilisation of Europe, that her MAJESTY will be most cordially and magnificently welcomed—that her pa= ,age from Boulogne to Paris will be one prolonged shout of pleasure, exhibition of taste, and blaze of splendour. The English people have already testified their approval of the alliance, and their desire to cul tivate the most cordial amity with the French people ; and this not least conspicuously in the ovation they so enthusiastically rendered to the French EMPEROR on the occasion of hi - A visit to London. They will read with the deepest satis faction the reports of the honours paid to their be!oved. QUEEN ; and while the French people find whatever latent distrust of England may lurk in their breasts melt away before the presence of VICTORIA, to he renewed no more, Englishmen will treasure in their deepest hearts the memory of their QUEEN'S reception, and tAke every practical op portunity to show how much their liking for the French has been augmented by it, and how de sirous they are the alliance should be perpetual. Thus, indecd, it ever is, a frank reciprocation of good feeling goes far to insure its perpetuation, and we look forward with pride and satisfaction to an unshaken union of friendship between the two countries, blessed with fruits over which Civilisation will have ample cause to rejoice and be glad, as the result in a great measure of the exchange of visits between her Majesty the QUEEN and the French EMPEROR. And if our antici pations are realisA, as we believe they will, the world will have cause to rejoice that called by PROVIDENCE and the French people to preside over the destinies cf France, Lours NAPOLEON magnanimously stretched out his hand in amity to Great Britain in frank confidence of acceptance, as the inauguration of a policy which, undeviat ingly persisted in, stamps him already as the fore most man of his day, and will cause him here 'after to be regarded by both France and England as one of their greatest benefactors. DEPARTURE OF THE ROYAL SQUADRON. PORTSMOUTH, SATURDAY, 5 A.M. The Victoria and Albert, with the Queen, Prince Albert, and elder members of the Royal family on board, left Osborne this morning at 20 minutes to 5, and is now steering through Spithead, with the Royal standard flying from her main.

GREAT BATTLE ON THE TCHERNAYA. WAR DEPARTMENT, AUG. rir. The following important telegraphs have been received from Lord Panmure : VARNA, AUG. 16, 1.30 P.M. The Russians attacked the position on the Tchernaya this morning at daylight in great force. The action lasted about three hours, but they were completely repulsed by the French and Sardinians. The Russian attack of the morning was under the command of General Liprandi, with from 50,000 nr 60,000 men. Their 10-s is estimated at between foar and five thousand. About 400 prisoners have been taken. The loss on the side of the Allies is very small. Further particulars will be sent. The following desp itch from General Pelissier was posted up yesterday at the B curse TRAKTIR-BRIDGE, AUG. 16, 10 A.M. For some days rumours of a premeditated at tack on the part of the Russians had aroused our attention, and they carried out their project this morning at daybreak, against our lines on the Tchernaya ; but, despite the concentration of im posing masses collected during the night, ti e enemy was repulsed with great vigour by the divisions of General Herbillon, Camou, Fan- cheux, and Morris. The Sardinians, placed on our right, fought valiantly. The principal effort of the enemy was directed against Traktir-bridge. The Russians left a great number of dead there, and we made a great many prisoners. They were in full retreat on Mackenzie'► Farm when our reserves were coming up, and those of our brave Allies, especially the English cavalry. The enemy has received a severe check. Our losses, which are much less than those of the Russians, have not yet been accurately ascer tained. TUIZIN, FRIDAY. A despatch has been received from General La Mar m ora. He Imps that the French despatches will show whether the Piedmontese are worthy or not to fight beside the French and English. Two hundred of the SArdiuian contingent are ;tors de embat. General 2.lontevecchio is morbally wounded. The following telegraphic despatches have been received from Paris : PARTS, SATURDAY, 8 A.M. The Nfoni!cur announces that General Can- r )bert is appointed Senator. It also publishes General Pelissier's despatch of the affair at the 16th, at Teaktir Bridge, and also Admiral Penaud's report cif the bombardment of Sweaborg. The preparations for the reception of Queen Victoria are actively continued, and the work men were employed all night. The weather is magnificent. The following telegraphic despatches have been received from Marseilles : MARSEILLES, SATITADAY, AUG. 18. The Louqsor, which left Constantinople on the 9th instant, has arrived. The advices from the Crimea are to the 7th instant. Despatches leave a 1 p.m. The Orenoque frigate and the English steamers Napoleon 111. and Robert Lowe have arrived. BOULOGNE, FY.IDAY EVENING. The Emperor of the French arrived here this evening at six o'clock from Paris, and proceeded to the Hotel du Pavillon Impariale on the sands, where he will await the arrival of her Majesty to- morrow. A. guard of honour of the Chasseurs de Vin- cennes was drawn up in front of the hotel to re- ceive the Emperor. His Majesty was loudly cheered on leaving the station and in passing through Boulogne.

The Emperor left Paris to-day at 1 p.m. for Boulogne, to meet her Majesty the Queen of England. General Canrobert is created a senator. Her Majesty Queen Victoria will arrive at about half-past 6 o'clock p.m. The Monitenr invites Parisians to show their respect and affection for their illustrious ally. The Emperor at one o'clock yesterday received Vice-Admiral Mourier, Inspector of the Danish fleet, sent by the King of Denmark to present to his Majesty the insignia of the Order of the Ele phant. The Admiral was presented to the Emperor by the Danish Minister. The Emperor afterwards received Don Juan de Francisco Martin, who re places the Marshal at Santa Cruz as Minister of the Republic of Guatemala, and General Delva, Count de Damemarie, appointed as Minister Pleni potentiary of the Emperor Faustin 1., who pre sented their letters of credence. The Marquis Pea de Villamarina, the Sardinian Minister, after wards had an audience to present a letter from his Sovereign announcing the death of the Duke de Genevese, and Mr. J. R. Pacheco, the Mexican Minister, to deliver a letter from the President of that Republic, on the occasion of the attempt of the 28th April last. A•ter these audiences the Emperor received M. Corvaia, the Agent of the Republic of Venezuela. The Emperor yesterday received M. Berg de Middelburg, an attache of the Dutch legation, who was presented to his Majesty by the Minister of that country, and several Portuguese gentlemen, presented by the Baron de Paiva, the Portuguese Minister. Prince Jerome gave a grand dinner on Wednes day at Havre, to the principal authorities, civil, military, and naval, in honour of the Emperor's fete. On the preceding evening, a party of the Russian prisoners, after having sung several of their national airs at a concert given in the Circus, proceeded to the residence of the prince, and sang several Russian choruses under his windows. The prince sent them 1001. " The pleasure trip of theEelair steamer to Bou logne on the occasion of the arrival of the Queen of England," says the Journal du Havre, "will not take place, Prince Jerome having engaged that vessel for the same destination." The departmental journals which have arrived in Paris agree in stating that the Emperor's fete was everywhere celebrated with the greatest bril li-n^y, and in trfPct. order. Religious services, accompanied by a Te Deum, were performed in the several cathedrals, and grand reviews were held in the various garrison-towns. In every place the dig's rejoicing - 3 commenced with a distribution of provisions to the poor. The Moniteur contains a decree conferring the military medal on 381 non-commissioned officers and privates in the :army and gendarmery. The lloniteur publishes a notice to subscribers to the lean of 750 millions, thet from Tuesday next, the 21st, they may apply at the central office 4,f the Trea,! , rtry, Rite do Rivoli, to obtain certificates ‘%f the loan, and at the same time to receive, hack the stuns to which they are entitled. The distri bution of cards of admission will take place at eight e.rn., and close as soon as the number which can be got through in the day shall have been delivered. Maisuree have also been adopted for the delivery of certificates and return of money in the depart ments at the date mentioned above. The illonitoir, after giving a description of Sweaborg, and of the addition male to its defences since last year, adds :—" The Russians had also considerably increased the fortifications of the southern part of Helsngfnrs, a d the western part of the town had been provided with three new batteries. The island of Drumsio had been also occupied, and a strong battery established on its southern side. It is in presence of these difficulties that the bombardment was resolved on and exe cuted on the 9th with full success by the allied naval forces. - The details of this feat of arms, the consequences of which have an incalculable inflo-' ence for our other operations in the Baltic, will soon reach the government ; but it is already known that the destruction of the arsenal is com plete, and that after a conflagration of 45 hours the town has been reduced to a heap of ashes. This important success, obtained without any material loss to the allies, makes a worthy pendant to the capture of Bomarsund." It is stated in a letter from Candia, of the 24th ult., that the English Government has caused more than 900 mules to be purchased for the Crimea, and has enrolled a great number of drivers. The governor of Candia, in obedience to orders from the Porte, gave every assistance in carrying out these measures. BOURSE, AUG. 17.—CLOSING PRICES. Cash. fr. e. End of Month.

A letter from St. Petersburg of the 26th ult., in the Constitutionnel, says :—" Prince Gortschakoff has received full powers to destroy the remains of the Russian fleet in the Bay of Sebastopol, on the lay on which the garrison may be forced to retire to the north. It is hoped that before .that day shall arrive, all objects belonging to the State and to private persons can be removed to Nicolaieff. This prove that no illusions are entertained as to the fate of the southern part of Sebastopol ; that part is indeed already represented in Russian letters to he only a heap of ruins." A letter from Warsaw, of the 4th, in the Post Ampt Gazette, says :—" The works for fortifying ,this city have been suspended, and no more build ing materials are being supplied. The citadel is completed, and flanked by two forts, but only two out of the six small towers which were to have sur rounded these fort-i are finished. The completion of the batteries for the defence of the tete de pont has been also stopped. The greater part of the carpenters who had been employed on the tempo rary bridges have been discharged, and those that remain at work do k not proceed with any great activity." A letter from Warsaw, in the Borsenhalle of Hamburg, says :—" The Emperor has given 6,000 silver roubles to the heirs of the persons lately murdered by the Circassians of the guard of Prince Paskiewitch.

MARSEILLES, Aug. 16.—The steam-frigate Mega dor, which sailed from Constantinople the 30th July, arrived this morning, having in tow the sail ing-trznsport Great Republic. They brought seve ral hundred sick and wounded French soldiers, among vhom are many of the Imperial Guard. The British steamers Candia, iu seven days from Constantinople, and the Tynemouth, likewise arrived to embark troops for the Crimea. The mail steamer Sinai sailed to-day for Constantinople. She took the mails, Gan. Bourbaki, and his Aide de-camp, Captain Boquet, and 400 of the 76th In fantry. The British steamers European and Nicho las I. arrived on Tuesday, with the clipper Titan, of Boston. They have already commenced loading shot and shell, and sev6ral cases containing each 2,500 cartridges, for the Imperial Guard. The quays are again crowded with casks of wine and other comforts, sent as gifts by the southern depart ments to the army of the East. Nevertheless, several letters received here from the French camp state that the soldiers have not yet tasted any of the ntmerous cases of wine and liqueurs already shipped for them. The steam-frigate Vulcan sailed on Tuesday for Kamiech.l She took , besides `an enormous quantity of military stores, 950 men of the sth, 53d, and 92d of the Line, with 150 men transferred from the Northfleet. The Elammonia still remains fixed at the entrance to the port. A diver sent down to ascertain the ex tent of the ac cident has discovered tha t the pilot in chary havilg steered too near a- buoy the three chains attached to it are twisted round her screw, and even the anchors to which the chains are fixed have been lifted by the efforts made by the steamer to Move. It will be necessl,ry to get her into dock to ascertain v.-hat injury has been sustained, but un fortunately Marseilles has not sufficient accommo dation. THE WAR IN ASIA. The CouTrier de Marseilles of the 15th instant publishes the following letter, dated Constanti nople, 6th inst. : " The most recent news from the army in Anatolia does not, unfortunately, confirm the report of the retreat of the Russians upon Teflis. It appears certain, neverthe less, that their advanced guard, which had pushed for ward in the direction of Et zeroum, bad returned to Gumri, under the apprehension of a movement of the Circas sians on Georgia ; but soon afterwards the Russians had resumed the course of their operations, and, if we are to credit rumours which I mention with every reserve, Kars was seriously menaced. There is but one means of efficaciously relieving the Turkish army of Asia, and that is, to keep the Russians colt stantly in dread of an stack from Scharny I. Hitherto, no attempt has been made to come to an un derstanding on the subject with that chief. This is the more to be regretted, as the intrigues of the Russians in that quarter might ultimately prove success ful, and the imposing force which the Mussulman popu lation of the Caucasus could bring into the field would be thus paralyzed, instead of being employed in making a use ful diversion in favour of the Turks. We have been assured that Otnar Pasha is about to repair to Asia, with 25,000 men supplied by the CI imean army, and to take the com mand in chief of the operations in Anatolia. There is little doubt but the preience of the Generalissimt) would have the effect of rousing the morale ..1 the Turks nod checking the progress of the enemy. It is added that, at the suggestion of Lord Redcliffe, a portion of the Turco-E iglish Contingent is to be placed at the dis• posai of Omar Pasha. The celebrated Arab chief, Bou-Maza, has been here for some day,;. The Porte, it appears, has appointed him a Bey, and given him the command of a detached corps of the army of Batoum at Souchum Kaleh. The well-known talent and vigour of that chief may be extremely useful ors so important a point as the frontier of Georgia and Turkish Armenia. The entire brigade of General Sol is now encamped at Maslak. The sanitary condition of the •troops is excellent." A:letter from Constantinople of the 6th says that there is nothing new from Kars,. RUSSIAN VPRSION OF THE BOMBARD MENT OP SWEABORG. A supplement to the Journal de St. Petersbourg of the 29th of July (10th of August) contains the following : " The enemy's fleet, which was at anchor at Nargen, and consisted of ten ships of the line, six frigates, seven steamers, four French floating batteries, two corvettes, one brig, one schooner, sixteen mortar•boats, twenty three gun-boats, two yachts, and three transports—in all 75 vessels—weighed ant.hor on the 25th of July (fltn of August) at noon, and on the same day, at 5.45 iyon., joined the squadron of two ships and tame steamers at anchor off Sandham. " By two telegraphic despatches sent this morning (28th of July-9th of Augu-t), at 9 and 11 o'clock, Aide de-Camp General de Berg announce thW. the enemy, having fornwd a line of mortar boats from B mkkher to GrAhar, end having con,trueted during the night a battery on Longorn Rock, commenced nt 7 in the roorn 7 ing sending shells from all the mortar and gun-boats especially into the fixtrals of SNeablr, and also into Longorn fort, and against the Nicholas Batttry ; the two ships anchored before Sandham also oiiined fire aga4l4 the island, and against battery Nn. 2."

MINES —A great demand has existed for shares in dividend mines since our last, and although a great rise has taken place in the price of many of them in the 13isset and Camborue districts, it is difficult to obtain shares even at the advance offered. Bassets have risen to 720, 740, ex. divithn.l ; Buller, 660 (a rise of 200 in a very short time); South Frances, 575 ; West Setin, 285/ ; Rosewarne, 2121, and have been in demand. The mine is looking better than at any former period ; there is a course ...f ore in the engine shaft below the 46 fm. level, and in the 46, going east towards Render, the lode is worth 201. per fin. Wheal Wrevs are 81. per share. Wheal Kitty (Lelant) has just sold 12 tons of tin for 8781 , and has 8 tons mire for sale ; in Septem ber the first dividend will be paid. In Sortridge, very large transactions have taken place, with an advance in price.--Mining Journal. A man at Sv.ansea, named Lewis, has been the means of raving no less than , eighteen of his fellow-creatures from drowning. The other day, while engaged in hi ordinary business, and the weather being comparatively fine, he was himself drowned off Port Talb 4, taking a raft of timber to the works of Messrs. Vivian, at Taibach. A widow and nine orphans are left. A Swim IN THE DARK.—A very remarkable attempt to desert from a merchant vessel was made by a seaman, in the Sound, on Saturday night. Fifteen of the crew of the Wanota, Captain March, now lying in this port, were sent to prison by the magistrates of SAltash, on Friday, for disobedience to the captain while at sea ; and it was stated at the examination that there were some roan" on board who had incited the disobedience, bet had themselves cunningly drawn out of the combination. It seams the crew remaining on board nixed on the shin's joiner as one of;thrsa adroit misleaders, and taunted him with it ; and this, it is st a t e d, p ro b a bly cause d a d e • termination in his mind to quit the ship. He kept own counsel, however, and bided his time. Aev or dinary mode of transit to the shore being out of his reach, he prepared, on Saturday 'light, to commit his life and substantial fortunes to the waves. We say -" his fortunes," for he had no intention of parting with his clothes or tools that appertained to his office as joiner. He, accordingly, secretly dressed himself iu his stock of shirts and trowsers—putting on seven of the former and three of the latter garments, and packing the tools in a canvass bag, waited for the flowing tide to carry him ashore: The tide turned about midnight, and when the deck was clear and all was silent on board the joiner secured his person to two of the ships buoys, and, with his bag of *role for ballast, stealthily dropped into the water. The Wanota is anchored a mile and a half from the shore, towards which the adventurer pushed his way, propelling himself by his lower members. At first he advanced cheerily ; the night was calm and starlit, and the current of the tide ran strongly in his favour, but soon the coldness of the bath dashed his spirits, and when it was too late he began to feel the clogging effect of the threefold integuments in which he bad so carefully encased his propelling members. His efforts to go ahead grew feebler and feebler, and by the time he bad gained half the distance he was so exhausted that he became alarmed at his danger, and shouted as well as he could for help. Open ears and succouring hands were not far off,,, and this piteous " voice of the night" being drifted on the breeze to a coast guard vessel in the Sound, a boat was immediately sent to the rescue. The joiner and his life-buoys were soon discovered by the guard, and a most pitiable spectacle did the fellow present. He was quite exhausted —even gone beyond the power of being able to assist himself and his ballast into the boat, and it be came necessary to tow the novel voyager to the coast guard vessel ; he was with some difficulty got on board of her and revived. Early in the morning he was taken back to the Wanota, where the culprit's appearance on deck occasioned a great deal f amusement among the crew, He has since been " under arrest," but we should almost think the suffering and frig' t of that star lit voyage were a sufficient punishment for the fellow's intentional desertion.—Plymout4 RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
