Her Majesty Queen AMALIA has at length sue ceeded in ejecting from office an obnoxious Minis• ter. General KA LERGI, Minister of War at Athens, was so unfortunate as to excite the Royal displea sure, whether on public or private grounds it is difficult to say ; but probably both were in some degree conceived. As her MAJESTY has long been celebrated as a Philo-Muscovite, desirous by every means in her power of advancing the interests of the head of her Church—the Greek Pope—it is probable that the causes which led to the decided animosity towards the unlucky Minister were chiefly attributable to political feelings. He had also defended the Royal hom Int on some occasion when it had been impugned. And this, for some reason, was a source of anuor ince to her MAJESTY, who, like our own MA.wwc atm, " likes to be abused !" The exciting cause of this deadly, and inexor able hatred of the Minister, .is, however, of com paratively trivial importance.. That it was felt in the utmost intensity by oie Q UEEN is certain, and— " Tantene animis cdestibus ire," that she was willing to encounter any risk for the gratification of her vengeance, is equally indisput able. When her mind was fixed on any point there could not be much doubt that she would speedily bias that of her Royal. Consort in the same direction. Accordingly, the ignominious dismissal of General KALERGI was therefore urgently de manded of M. MAVROCORDA TO. He, however, hesitated. He was well aware of the value of the services of his gallant colleague. He knew that the removal would be extremely displeasing to the Western Powers, who had previously grave cause of complaint respecting the Royal conduct, and felt that without the assiistance of his col league he could not carry on the Government with credit to himself or advantage to the country. He therefore declared that he must participate in the fate of General KALERGI, and that his own resignation should accompany that of the Minister of War, if insisted on. We believe that diplo matic influence was not wanting to explain and point out to the misguided Monarch the danger which ho would incur in adopting such a coup d'etat. But " the White Serjeant prevailed, and Orno dared not retrace his foot sterps, although fully warned on the subject. The consequence is a Ministerial crisis at Athens— " a storm in a washing-tub"-----and there is no knowing to what lengths the matter may proceed, unless the Krvo, who owes his throne to Prance and England, should have the manliness, ere it i s too late, to shake off the petticoat government, and to rescue the Royal troisiemes from the firm grasp of Queen A-ArAmA. It is needless to say that the Western Powers have n o i nc li na ti on t o i n terfere in the private squabbles and petty intrigues of these " Brummagem " Courts, and that their only object can be to enforce a strict neu trality, and to prevent King Onto and his con fidential advises from injuring the great cause in which they are now engaged. Without their protection the Lilliputian King could not retain his throne for a single week, and it is rather too bad that he should, through any influence what soever, be induced to act against those to whom he is indebted for his position. It may flatter his vanity, or rather . that of " his better half," for hers is the paramount influence, to think that he can create a diversion in favour of his auto cratic f r i en d by adding to the difficulties of Turkey, but it would be a great piece of folly on the part of the Allies were they to permit him to do so. They have prevented the Great Northern Bear from so doing, and they cannot permit hi s insignificant companion to create or foment dis turbances very injurious to the tranquillity of Europe. Ile has already been let off very easily, and as he has chosen to set aside at his mere will and pleasure everything bearing the semblance of constitutional or representative Government, he must personally bear the responsibility which, through his misconduct, can no longer rest on his Ministers. On this point our excellent and effi cient representative to the Court of Athens has spoken dixtinckly and unequivocally. Mr. WYsE has very judiciously not minced the matter with King Orso, but has clearly explained the pos sible consequences of the course on which he; under the guidance of Queen AMALIA, has so recklessly entered. He may rest assured that this is no mere brutum fulmen ; but that as France and England have the power, they will also have the will to visit the conse- quences of any impropriety on the heads of the guilty parties, no matter what may be their nomi nal rank. The Autocrat can no longer save his tools from the consequences of their misdeeds. Strong as ho has been he has quite sufficient on his hands on his own account to prevent any effec tual interference on behalf of the Royal puppet, the strings whereof he has so long been pulling. It requires but for France and England to speak the word to deprive OTHO of the sceptre which he has wielded so inefficiently, and at the same time so mischievously. It seems an anomaly to couple these terms, but we believe that they are pqually applicable to the Govern ment of King OTHo. But little more and that word will be spoken, and he and his ambitious partner will have to deplore in obscurity the rest less and reckless perversity which induced them to disregard the reasonable wishes of those to whom they owe their present position, and who are just as capable of depressing, " as they had previously been of elevating," to rank and distinction. We trust that Orno may not prove incor rigible, but that he will discover that discretion is the better part of valour, and learn to bend to the storm which he cannot venture to brave with impunity. Those who remember when the present King of PRUSSIA was Crown Prince need not be told that at that time ho was described as English to the backbone. What is he now ? In general opinion, the most serviceable as well as the most open friend of Russia, and consequently the most flagrant and injurious enemy of England among the so-called neutral Powers. So much depen dence is there to be placed on the friendly feelings of a Prussian Crown Prince for this country being carried with him to the throne, or at all events cherished under the regal canopy ! Here we have a monarch, of amiable feelings, too, as despots go, on whose co-operation--we will not say sympathy merely—his antecedents and credit for the most ordinary consideration on liis part for the best in terests of the kingdom he governs, led us to cal culate before the outbreak of hostilities, actually, now that we are at war, frustrating the object of that costly blockade to which we looked as the most likely means of bringing the conflict to a speedy and successful termination ! Yet for all this, notwithstanding the ill-concealed sympathy of the Prussian King with Russia—notwithstanding the produce of the latter country, diverted by our fleets from its customary channels, is daily and hourly poured into Prussian ports to be trans mitted to the markets of the world, individuals are to be found who contemplate with satisfaction the prospect of a matrimonial alliance between the Crcwn Princess of this country, and, not the Crown Prince, but the son of the Crown Prince of Prussia, as being likely to cement a fast and and enduring alliance between the two countries ! A remove of one degree, it is seen, has insured a treacherous neutral—a remove of two, forsooth, is looked to to produce a fast friend, instead of, as one would have logically inferred, a bitter enemy ! In sober truth, an alliance with Prussia is not at present worth having, and, if it were, a matri monial alliance would not cement it. The dynasty of Hohenzollern is by no means one of those on whose stability much reliance can be placed. A splendid tyrant like the Great FRE DERICK is not more the sort of man to create a dynasty than a vacillating good-natured CLICQUOT is to subvert it. The tyranny of the one may be grievous to the individual, but the lustre of his genius emblazons the annals of his country and fills his subjects with pride; the tyranny of the other, vastly more vexatious, has no redeem ' ing features to commend it, and is inevitably pro ductive of mingled chafing and contempt—a state of feeling incompatible with security. The Prus sian people cannot see anything to admire, but a great deal to despise in FREDERICK WILLIAM, and a day's insurrection might terminate in a flight of himself, and the remaining representatives of the dynasty he is undermining—into Russia, to be flannelled in his widowed sister's condolences. Even were the stability of the dynasty assured beyond the reach of fate, the stability of the friendly regard of the young Prince for this country, as we have shown, cannot, be so ; while no indications we know of warrant the supposi tion that it has any permanent basis. A love-sick youth, full of sentiment, is likely enough to regard with kindly feelings the country of his intended bride ; but that sort of state notoriously don't last, and with its termination those kindly feelings may cease also. ' In what instance has this country reaped any advantage from the ma trimonial alliances of her Princes and Princesses with the scions of royalty abroad ? Turn back the page of history as far as we may, there is no such instance to be found. Up to the present hour, to what matrimonial or, family alliance are we indebted for aid in peace or war ? Is the King of the BELGIANS to be found along- , side with the King of SARDINIA in the muster-roll *of the Allies ? Is the King of HANOVER ? Have either of them ever furthered our commercial interests a tittle, done us one good deed, done anything less hostile to us than pocket ing a portion of our taxes ? Is there an English man living that counts on them, and the Duke of Saxn-Connao to boot, for the paltriest conceivable aid in the present Struggle ? Not one ! And hew many are there who calculate on receiving, as they believe we have received hitherto, nothing but hindrance and injury at their hands ! Purely dynastic alliances never were good for England, and have always been most injurious when matrimonial. Whatever there ought to be desirable in a Prussian alliance is to be had, when it may be got, after a better fashion. The mutual sentiments and interests of the two people will go further than any reciprocati on o f C ourt is d may herri k s England favour to establ ish an enduring alli ance b etween them. The son of the Crow n P rince of next to the Crown Princess and ; but as for Prussiaces he might q uarrel with aught that pa to the the c them within a year of h is marria g e, it •11 be quite as well if he *returns t o Prussia and enters appears p n e like on and pursues such a wis , ,e and liberal career as will not only conv i nc e us of his personal vsorthi ness to enter on so intimate an alliance with this country, but a l so o f hi s di s p o sition and ability to rule P russ i a w i se l y, an d t h ere b y ens ure the stabi lity of his dynasty by basing it on the broad and enduring. foundations of a people's happiness and prosperity. COURT CIRCULAR. BALMORIL, Ocr. 11. Her Majesty the Queen, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses the Princess Royal and the Princess Alice, and attended by her Grace the Duchess of Wellington and the Hon. Beatrice Byng, drove out yesterday after noon. His Royal Highness the Prince went out deerstalking. A deputation, relative to ballast-heaving in the River Thames, had an interview with Lord Stanley of Alderley yesterday at the Board of Trade. The deputation con sisted of Mr. Rosa, sen., Mr. Ross, jun., Mr. Shelbourne, and Mr. Tilly. Despatches were sent from the Colonial-office yester. day to the Governors of the North American Provinces. THE COURT.—WINDSOR, Friday.—Preparations are being made at the Castle for the reception of the Court on Wednesday next. Her Majesty and the Prince Con sort, with the junior branches of the royal family, ac cording to the present arrangement, will arrive on the evening of that day to dinner. The road horses and carriages arrived at the Mews from Balmoral yesterday afternoon. Sir Benjamin Hall has been down to inspect the works in progress at the Castle. M. Sainton, violinist to the Queen, has resigned his appointment of sergeant ~in the State band. The office has been con ferred on Mr. Nickel, who has been in her Majesty's private band for the last 25 years. The Duke and Duchess of Richmond and family are expected to leave Gordon Castle, N. 8., for the south, next week. A very large party of visitors have enjoyed the hospitality of the noble duke and duchess during the past month. _ _ The Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury are re• ceiving company at Hatfield House. The Earl and Countess 4 of Ellesmere and family are passing the seascn at Woreley Hall. The Earl and Countess of Wilton and family will shortly receive her Royal Highnessthe Duchess of Cam• bridge and the Princess Mary, at Heaton Park, near ManchestEr. DUKE RETURN OF THE OF NEWOASTLE.—The Duke of Newcastle is expected to arrive in England from the Crimea in about three weeks from the present time. His Grace's health has been greatly improved by his journey to the East. Mr. Chisholm Anstey's appointment as Attorney- General at Hong-Kong appears in yesterday evening's Gazette. Mr. and Mrs. Leigh Murray are fulfilling an engage ment at the Prince's Theatre, Glasgow. VICEREGAL VISIT TO THE NORTH.—Preparations On a scale of unusual magnitude are now in progress for the reception of Lord Carlisle in the capit-il of Ulster. Abd-el-Kader arrived at Marseilles on Sunday even ing. He stayed at the Hotel d'Orient, and was to embark on board the SimoiA, We believe that there is no doubt of the fact that General Simpson has resigned his command in the Crimea, and recommended General Eyre as his SILICEI3• sor. The Government, however, have declined to ac cept General Simpson's resignation. It is reported that Field-Marshal Viscount Efardinge, G.C.8., will shortly be elevated to the full title of Com mander-in.-Chief, in lieu of that of " C.mmanding-in- Chief." It is etrange that General Sir David Dandas, who succeeded the Duke of N ork in the command, held the full title of Commander-in-Chief, though never a neld-Marshal. !LATEST NEWS, PARIS, SATURDAY MORNING. Advices from Vienna and Berlin state that the Allied fleets were anchored off Odessa on the 10th. Sixteen battalions of the Allied armies are con centrated near the town of Yenikale. SWEABORG. —We have always great p7easure in notic ing the services of Derry's sons in the stirring events of the present war. During the bombardment of Sweaborg a gun-boat and a rocket-boat were successively and sue cce,sfully commanded by midshipman John M'Neill Boyd, who, in this arduous and dangerous service, dis played a coolness, courage, and intrepidity which won fur him the highest approbation of his superior officers, who were happy to forward his name in the despatches relative to the destruction of Sweaborg. Our y. v;g hero is in his 14th year, and is the eldest 8011 of Capt. John 111`Neill Boyd, of this city, a worthy son of a true apprentice boy.—Londonder r y Sentinel. A. COUPLE OF VENERABLE LOVERS.—The gossips of the usually quiet town of Clogher (says the Armagh, Guardian) have had a choice morsel to d veil upon in a marriage which took place in the Cathedral church on the 24th ult. The gay Lothario, Jemmy Gordon, is about 91 years of age, and the blushing bride, Anderson, alias Neely, has seen upwards of 55 years. This is the sixth time for the venerable bridegreom to be joined in Hymen's bonds, and the third for the bloomieg bride. It is only about three months since the hale Jemmy wss left an inconsolable widower by the death of his fifth wife. As mieht be expected the assembl tge in and about the cathedral witnessing the ceremony performed by the Rev. W. A. Agile was immense, and in the evening the town and neighbouring hills were brilliantly illuminated by bonfires to mark the happy occasion. CARGOES FROM SOUTH AMERICA.-20,000 bullock shank bones are imported monthly into Southampton from South America. The best of them are picked out for cutlers' purposes, and the rest aro ground fur manure. Large cargoes of bullocks' bones are continually arriving from South America at Southampton, to be ground down for manure in that town. The shank bones are conveyed to this country at eo much per gross ; the other bones are brought over at so much per ton. A firm engaged in Southampton as manufacturers of manure have an establishreent at Buenos Ayres, where thousands of head of black cattle are slaughtered, skinned, and then boiled down whole for the purpose of extracting the fat and separating the bones from the flesh. ACCIDENT AT THE WORCEETEE. RAILWAY STATIOrr.— On Monday a shocking accident happened to a man named Booth, an under guard on the Oxford, Worces ter, and Wolverhampton Railway. He was engaged in linking a carriage to an engine, and cried out "All right" before he had got from under the carriage. The engine immediately moved, and the man was thrown down by the break-rod catching him by the hip. He called to the engine driver to stop, but before the latter could do so, the wheels went over the poor fellow's right leg, partly wrenching it off at the joint, and tearing the flesh of the thigh in a terrible manner. He was imme diately conveyed to the infirmary, where amputation was cleverly performed, and the poor fellow is now doing as well as can be expected.— Worcester Chronicle. SUICIDE.—An elderly roan, very well dressed, arrived at 11 o'clock on Wednesday night at the Hotel de Tours, Rue St. Nicholas d'Antin, and, having hired a chamber, declared that he was so tired that he would go to bed at once. He, however, made th e wa i ter purchase some cakes, and then fastened himself in his room. Shortly after the waiter heard moaning and groans, and having forced open the door, found the man writhing on the floor, apparently in agony. A medical man was sent for, and he declared that the man had taken poison. Ile attempted to neutralise the effects of it, but soon after the man died. It turned out that he had placed a quantity of arsenic in ono of the cakes. From papers found on him, it was ascertained that the deceased was a merchant at Beaune (Cotes-d'Or.)—Galignani's Messenger. DANTSIC, FRIDAY, OCT. 12. The Bulldog has arrived. The gun-boats left Nargen on the Bth, under convoy of the Hogue, on their way to Eng land. Weather stormy. BEER IN FRANCE.—AIsace has always enjoyed the reputation of being the part of France in which the greatest quantity of beer is manufactured and con sumed ; but from recent returns it appears that the de partment of the Nord has of late got the start of the departments of the Rhine in th e consumpt i on of this beverage. The quinquennial statistics of the arron dissement of Strasburg estimate at 150,000 hectolitres (the hectolitre is twenty-two imperial gallons) the quan tity of strong beer annually brevred in that arrondisse ment, the total value of which is estimated at 2,836,000 f. In the s.rrondis4ement of Valenciennes the quantity of strong beer brewed in 1854 was 226,000 hectolitres, giving an avem,; , e of 145 litres to each inhabitant. The value is esitirrated at three millions of francs. The quantity of small beer brewed in the arrondissement of Yalenceanei last year was 108,000 hectolitres, while in that of Strasburg it was only 400 litres. The number of brewers in Valenciennes in 1845 was 141 ; last year they had increased to 161. The following appeared in our late edition of last night : HAMBURG, FnmAY. Prince Gortschakoff, under date of the 9th inst., writes as follows : The enemy has made a movement in advance from Eupatoria, threatening Perekop, but meet ing with the advanced posts of the left flank of of our army they retired. On our left flank the enemy has detached six teen battalions from Urkusta to Janisala. Despatches were received at St. Petersburg yesterday, stating that up to the evening of the 10th the Allied Fleets bad undertaken nothing against Odessa, but at that date remained quietly at anchor. BERLIN, FRIDA Y. Prince Gortschakoff writes on the llth instant : —" The enemy is collecting considerable forces in the valley of the Upper Belbek. He appears preparing actively for a series of offensive move ments. There is nothing new from other points of the Crimea." It is reported that the Russian Government has offered the Russian possessions in North America to the United States for 40 millions of silver roubles and other commercial advantages. Letters from Sebastopol and Eupatoria, of the 3d and sth, maintain that the retreat of the Russian army is decided on, and that the works they are erecting are only to cover the movement. It was current at Vienna yesterday that a con vention was on foot for the evacuation of the forts on the north side of Sebastopol. The Count de Hatzfeld, the Prussian Ambassa dor at Paris, has arrived here. His presence is known to have reference to im portant negotiations now on foot. It is stated as certain that the Emperor of Russia went to Perekop, where he was met by- Prince Gortschakoft, and that lie is by this time at Odessa, whence he will go to Warsaw. It is untrue that Princo Gortschakoff is to be replaced by Mouravieff or Luders. MADRID, OCT. 10. The insurgents of Catalonia have been defeated near Morguefa. The Cabecillos Poful and Ferrer have been killed, and Rengos and Leiides taken prisoners. 26 of the band have been shot. Com mandant Forges has dispersed the band of Tris tany, but it Ls not known in what dirootion that leader has fled. FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. CHARGE OF MURDER.—An inquest was held before the borough coroner of Liverpool. yesterday, on the body of Thomas Cahill, aged 28, labourer. It appeared that on Friday, the fith inst., one of the deceased's children had quarrelled with the daughter of a neighbour named John O'Neile, also a labourer, and in the course of the scuffle O'Neile's child bad fallen and hurt her head. Soon afterwards O'Neilo went to the deceased's house, and said if he had not satisfaction for his daughter's in juries he would have as much blood spilt for it as had been spilt for his child, and threatened what he would do when deceased came from his work. He then went away. About half-past 7 o'clock on Saturday evening the prisoner again went to the deceased's house, and kicked at the door. The deceased had gone upstairs to bed. His wife went to one of the bedroom windows, and shouted to the prisoner to go home, stating that her husband knew nothing of the quarrel, and that he had been working hard all day. The prisoner replied, "you ----, come down, and I will run you through as well as them" (meaning the prisoner and his brother). The deceased then went down stairsand opened the door, and the prisoner struck him two blows with his clenched fist. The deceased put his band to his breast, and exclaimed, "I am stabbed." The prisoner then ran away. The deceased was carried upstairs to bed, and a doctor was sent for, who attended him up to his death, which oc curred on Thursday morning. The jury returned a ver- , diet of wilful murder against the prisoner, who was c am . mitted for trial at the assizes. News of the doings of the expedition, which ar rived before Odessa on the Bth, is anxiously ex pected. 10,000 French soldiers are on board the squadron, and the general belief is that Cherson and Oczakoff are to be the points attacked. The Constitutionnel of tOlday, speaking probably on good authority, says that, according to a letter from Kamiesh of Sept. 9, it is expected that in two days' time three floating batteries, each carrying 36 guns, would open a fire against the north side of the harbour. A telegraphic despatch, dated Cagliari, Oct. 10, s a y s th e laying down of the submarine cable be tween this place and the coast of Africa has been interrupted in consequence of the rupture of the cable. The English vessel the Result, which was engaged in the operation, is about to return to England with the cable, which cannot probably be now laid down until the weather becomes more favourable. _ _ The Duke and Duchess of Brabant arrived here at four o'clock; they were received with great cere mony, and conducted to St. Cloud. The Salut Public of Lyons of yesterday says : Several pieces of cannon taken in the Malakhoff tower, and sent to the Invalides at Paris by Mar shal Pelissier, are expected here to-day or to mor row by railway. The steam-frigates C4ffarelli and Eldorando left Marseilles on the 10th for the Black Sea, the former with 600 men on board, and the latter with 500.

M. Erdau, a redacteur of the Presse, was some time since sentenced to eight days' imprisonment and a fine of 100 f. for a libel on the Catholic religion, alleged to be contained i n his work "L a F rance Mystique." The Procureur-General, not being satisfied with this light punishment, appealed a minima (a proceeding allowed by French law). The appeal was heard to day, and M. Erdan has been sentenced to a year's imprisonment and a fine of I,ooofr. BOURSE, Half-past Two.—The situation of the Bank of France, which was published this morn ing in the Moniteur, has thrown a gloom on the market, as the bullion was again, reduced to 56 millions of francs (232 millions against 2881 millions on the figures of last month). There was a great scarcity of business in all deeds of securities, but the prices were maintained, as the English Con sols had been posted up with an advance of 1A per cent. The Threes were done from 64fr. 50c. to 64fr. 35c., and rallied to 64fr. 45c. The other securities are quoted at about the same prices as yesterday. Half-past Three.—The prices were very flat at the end of the Bourse, and with a slight fall on yesterday's quotations. The Three per Cents. de clined to 64f. 35c. ; the Mobilier to 1,667 fr. 50c. There was a fall of about 2f. 50c. on Railway Shares. The situation of the Bank of France was the sole motive alleged for the general heaviness of the securities.

The King of Hanover, by a decree of the Bth, declares that any public functionary, magistrate, or clergyman who may, by any official or public act, call in question the validity of his royal ordi nance of the Ist August, for carrying into effect certain decrees of the Diet or any laws or ordi nances promulgated by them, shall be at once dis missed.

The Wanderer of Vienna gives the following German view of the present war : "Letters re:ieived from Odessa affirm that a convic tion psrvades the whole of Russia, that the real wur is only just now beginning, and that it may last for years to come. These views may pessibly find more echo et Patia and in London than gent's) lien on the hanks of the Neva may find altogether pleasant. If Russia as sumes to herself the right of waging a war against the Western Powers which may last for many a year, the latter may possibly see fit to avail themselves of this notification to prepare a comprehensive and sweeping scheme for their own guidance in the conduct of it. The pressnt century has familiarised itself with various phenomena, and with a state of possession in the East, which we know occasioned a hundred ,Teari since, or even later, the most lively apprehensions both in Paris and London. After the year 1784 had given the Crimea to Russia in fee, with the country as far as the Kuban and the island of Taman, Catherine the Se cond, in 1790, prepared for still greater conquests. On this occasion the country situated between the Bug and the Dniester had become the object of her humble but dearest wishes. The French policy during the year 1789 was only nominal, the state being placed hors de combat by the proeress of the Revolution, whilst the very Cabinet of Vienna was from the first allied with Russia. It was upon this that the celebrated William Pitt concluded a defensive alliance with Prussia and Holland, in order to save the Ottoman empire- Although Russia was already in poocco sion of the Crimea, Mr. Pitt held that the strong sea-hoard of Oczakow was the real key of Alex andria and Egypt, and ho was resolved not to leave it in the possession of Russia. A fleet was on the point of being at once fitted out, and an English war against Russia was at hand, nay, seemed unavoidable, in order that this district of country might be saved from the devouring jaws of the northern savage, when the inter vention of Mr. Fox and of the manufacturing interests came to the help of Russia, just as Friend Bright would fain help it now ; and thus Mr. Pitt's energetic policy was checked, and the morsel was devoured by the Bear. As after the capture of Sebastopol Nicolaieff first sprang to light, so it may be that, even whilst the Allies are in possession of the Crimea, and the Russians retain that bit of territory—it may be that even the new relations which shall themselves arise out of the further course and prosecution of the war will be the authorities to which Count Nesselrode will refer, in justification of his assertion that the geographi cal position of Russia in itself gives her, nay involves, the lawful supremacy of the Black Sea. Hence it is a matter of some interest to watch what weight or autho rity the great Powers of the West wiil accord to this arrogant assumption. But in any case let them not for get that about the Eastern expedition itself there is no more remarkable feature than this, that 'from its first spring into the misty darkness before it,' baffling as it does all human anticipations, even down to the present hour, every success which has been hitherto gained has only involved within itself the necessity of fresh suc cesses being achieve I. As the landing in the Crimea involved within itself the fall of Sebastopol and the con quest of the country, so these latter in themselves oblige the permanent reduction of the barbaric pride, and the dawn of civilisation and Christianity among the benighted nations of the East. Russia is attempting to combat her adversaries on three fields at once—namely, on the mili tary and diplomatic arena, and to brave them on that of public opinion. On the field of b-onJur' she has been singularly unfortunate. Where she commenced her aggression—the Lower Danube—she hal to turn tail before the Turks—and, still more, on her own soil, where Sebastopol has fallen, and her flag has disappeared from the seas." RUSSIA AND THE SCANDINAVIAN PENINSULA. The following letter, dated Stockholm, the Ist inst., will be found highly interesting : "I am induced again to trouble you with a few lines on Scandinavian policy, as it appears to me that the im mense results attained by the fall of Sebastopol in the south point out the absolute necessity of striking some similar blow in the north, if the object of the present war is really and bona fide to secure the independence of Eur.ipe. The destruetion of the Russian fleet in the Black Sea, and the fall of a fortress so long deemed im pregnable, have annihilated in one day the fruits of 70 years' incessant toil and unheard-of sacri fices, and it must he evident to every thinking mind that Muscovite ambition, checked in one direc tion, will seek some other opening, and where can one so easily be found as in the Baltic, where Russia still possesses a powerful fleet and strongholds fully equal to that which has cost the allies a price almost unparalleled in history ? None but the blind partisans of la paix a tout prix will deny tkat, fsiled in the east and in the south, all the energies of that still formidable nation will be turned to the point to which I have so often called the attention of your readers, namely, the establishment of new Sebastopels on the Atlantic, I within au easy sail of the British coast. Every im provement of modern science is being applied to the Russian navy, under the unceasing yuperintendence of the Grand Duke Constantine, who long since proposed and is now actually fitting up the larger ships with screw propellers. We know that Cronstadt cannot be taken by land, and after seeing what the allied fleets have been able to achieve in two campaigns we are in clined to believe it wauld bd equally difficult to carry it by sea. Two-thirds of the Baltic shores are under Russian dominion, besides the Aland Archipelago, which extends to within three geographical miles of the Swedish coast, about three days' march from Stock holm, which is quite open on the land side. Near the coast of Norway the Russians have long coveted the bay of Varangen, which never freezes, and which, besides its valuable fisheries, has the inestimable advantage of being within 15 0 miles of Scotland. I will not dwell any longer on details I have SO often discussed in your columns ; but I say again, what has failed in the East will most assuredly be attempted in the Scandinavian peninsula, and there Russia will meet with greater ad vantages and less difficulties. It is, however, to be hoped that those who govern Europe will not overlook the quarter where the storm is gathering, and that ener getic measures, taken in time, will prevent a recurrence of the danger, which has been averted in the south by so much bloodshed and such lavish expenditure."

By permission of the Emperor, they were permitted to give a concert at the Academie Impe riale, which took place on Thursday last. The receipts amounted to 8,000 francs. They also gave one concert at the Conservatoire de Musique, and ten in the Salle Herz. The admirable execution of the vocal mu , ic by this society, under Franz Weber's direction, appears to have excited the same delight and enthusiasm in Paris as in London. Mr. Mitchell, under whose auspices the society visited the French capital, was honoure .1 with the Emperor's com mands to attend with the singers at St. Cloud on the alb ult. Meyerbeer and Rossini were present at several of the concerts ; the latter appears to have taken particular in terest in attending the rehearsals.
