THIS EVENING, and every evening during the week, the GRAND ELEUSINIAN SPECTACLE of MAGIC and MYSTERY, by Professor ANDERSON, the Great Wizard of the North, in 12 acts, with ever-changing variety of incidents, continuous surprises, novel and extraordinary effects. Magic and Mystery is an entirely new entertainment, pos sessing distinctive characteristics and peculiar phases . of amusement. It is not a monologue, for the audience them selves perform their parts with the principal actor, some of them on the stage and others in front ; it is not an exhibition, for though everything becomes metamorphosed before the eyes of the visitors no one can be positive that he sees any one thing; but it is a comedy really performed by the com pany ; a melodrama replete with startly positions and unex pected denouements ; a magnificent spectacle, with 2,000 of the public every night to appear as auxiliaries ; and an ex travaganza, in which all that seems to be is entirely beyond the bounds of probability. _ _ Professor Anderson returns his thanks to thronged and fashionable audiences which have nightly filled the Lyceum Theatre to overflow, and by means of whose generous aid he bas been enabled to announce Magic and Mystery, for con tinuous repetition. He believes that no professor of his art .bas at any time or .in any place been -honoured with au amount of success so extensive, so decided,and so unusual. He would attribute that success to three causes; first, that in his present entertainment he has placed before his visitors the results of a life sedulously devoted to the attainment of perfected skill in one peculiar art, and to perfect which he has travelled the globe in every clime ; secondly, that he has spared no trouble nor expense to put this entertainment on the stage in the most elaborate manner, by the employment of the first mechanicians and artists of the day; and thirdly, that, while endeavouring to provide amusement for those Who honour him wit h their presence, he has not forgotten that • it is possible to afford information also, and that the oppor tunity should not be neglected of exposing conjuring where ever it has been used for nefarious purposes, or whenever by resorting to the conjuror's arts, in an illegitimate nianner, the designing have succeeded in making dupes of the credulous. The 937 letters on the subject of spirit-rapping, which Pro fessor Anderson has received, from the time of opening the theatre up to the present date, bear witness to the great in terest taken on the subject of this singular delusion ; whilst many of them bear melancholy evidence to the dangers which attend a belief in the superstitious nonsense of the " Spiri tualists." Judging simply by the correspondence which has resulted, Professor Anderson's exposé of spirit-rapping and his illustration of the so-called table phenomena, have pro duced a sensation unequalled by any previous attempt to ex- Pose a mischievous and impudent juggle. It is impossible . for Professor Anderson to reply at length to a tithe of the Communications which reach him on the• subject. He regrets that many of these should come from ladies and gentlemen • who, from their position in society and their well-known in tellectual attainments, he would least have expected to have been converts to a belief so preposterous in itself, and so easily susceptible of being controverted and disproved. Every • evening, from the Lyceum stage, Mr. Anderson's opinions on spirit-rapping are expressed, and every evening, within the Lyceum, how tables can be made to rap is exhibited and elucidated. It is respectfully requested that this public exposition will be accepted generally as Professor Anderson's only mode of replying at full length to his multitudinous correspondents. He regrets that the names of the great and learned of the land should have been made to figure in the documents emanating from the spirit-rappers, as for instance the following, ex tracted from the Morning Advertiser of Thursday, Septem ber 20, and taken by that journal from the New York Spiri tual Telegraph. It purports to emanate from an American spirit-rapper, Mr. D. D. Hume :—" Sir David Brewster . frankly confesses that he is sorely puzzled' at what he has witnessed, and Lord Brougham acknowledges himself to be thoroughly nonplussed. Both of these noted men brought the whole force of their keen discernment to bear upon the j solution of the phenomena; but the presence of substantial, actual hands, and the demonstrative strength of the spirits who thus clothed themselves for the time, and moved mate ' rial objects about the room, proved to be too much of a ques tion for them to master." Mr. D. D. Hume, the author of the above, has recently left England, and the following account of who, and what he is, occurs in the Family Herald, No. 648: ---" This young man, who is a Scotchmau by birth, and now in Italy, is a remarkable medium for all the manifestations without apparatus. Barnum, who is weal-known throughout the Anglo-Saxon world as a splendid humbng. offered him 2,000 dollars per annum if he would perform at his museum in New York, Barnum then took it for granted that mediums could be brought. He was somewhat astonished when his offer was refused. Hume, on telling the fact in London lately, simply and honestly remarked, that the money would have been very acceptable to him, for he was poor, young (under 20), an or phan, and in very bad health : but he would have been afraid of losing his power as a medium, and he would sooner lose his life. The refusal, however, made Barnum thoughtful. He inquired i n t o the subject; and now Barnum, one of the greatest humbugs in the world, and withal a conjuror, is one of the firmest believers in spiritualism." It is cer tainly surprising to find such a paragraph as this in the editorial article of an established journal, the editor of whom might be supposed to be sane. Even if Barnum does believe in spirit-rapping-- does spirit-rapping gain or lose by • this accession to its adherents and, with Barnum's endorse ' went to it, is this bill, drawn on public credulity, more likely to be negotiated ? Professor Anderson would believe not ; hut, when he finds that educated clergymen of the Church of England have the temerity to subscribe their names to so gross a swindle, when he finds that the incumbent of Wortley (the Rev, W. J. Godfrey) positively asserts his belief- in it, and writes a book on the subject, he considers it t) be time for lira to state that which he knows of the mechanism by which •it is effected, and the mischief to which it tends. In the J rcwning Advertiser of October 3 appears a letter from Sir David Brewster, relative to that which he saw at Cox's Hotel, in company with Lord Brougham. He distinctly states that 'which the Wizard of the North proclaims every night—that spirit-rapping is nothing more than conjuring applied to bad 'Purposes. • In the Morning Advertiser of the following day, however, there is an answer to Sir David's letter from one Who was present when he and Lord Brougham had their séance with the spirits, in which the writer says, that " the table (a large dinner-table, I believe) moved about in the most extraordinary manner, and, among other things, a large ac cordion was conveyed by an invisible agency to my hand and .then to Lord Brougham's, in which, held by his lordship's right hand, apart from any person, it played an air through out." With such a statement, printed for the edification of the people of tie 19th century, with the facts before us that the most talented men of the day are permitting themselves to be deluded by these juggling spirit-mongers—that the greatest novelist of the age is now engaged in making it the . subject of a new work, and , that a " spiritual convention" has actually been advertised to be held in St. Martin's-hall, Professor Anderson trusts that his exposures of the spiritual • ists of America, as given by him nightly at the Lyceum, will be received by the people of England as genuine honest at • tempts to provide an antidote for the bane of the spiritual jugglers, In the course of the last five weeks 100,017 persons have visited the Lyceum Theatre,—a larger number, it is believed, than has ever before been assembled within its walls in so short a period. Magic and Mystery is repeated every even. lag, the programme being continually changed.

The Nile is very low this year, and the supply of water for the cultivation of the land will be much below the average, and next year's crops will consequently be short. • • Said Pasha, the Viceroy, has been on the railway as far as Beuka, where a bridge is belag constructed across the en tern branch of the . Nile, and has given orders and instructions to hasten on the works so that the whole line to Cairo may be completed by the end of the year. The French engineers are working vigorously on the Cairo and Suez line, a portion of the rails have already come out to Alex andria, and in less than two years' time it is ex pected that the entire passage between Alexandria and Suez will be performed by rail. The embankments of the railway across the Lake Mareotis have again been giving trouble and anxiety to the E ng li s h e n g i neers by sinking to a considerable degree in several parts. A great mis take was committed in not making a solid founda tion for the railway at this part, instead of merely making a causeway of loose earth across. Said Pasha is still playing at soldiers, and devotes most of his time to drilling and exercising them. The present high prices of grain bring him in an enormous surplus revenue, so that, money being abundant, he cares for little else. . Exchange on London 79 3 / 4 piasters per potted sterling. The following summary of events is taken from the Overland Bombay Times of September 12 : "India is tranquil throughout. The Ava embassy oroceeds auspiciously. A favourable fall of rain promises to avert the apprehended famine and limit the calamity to a careity. Trade is dull, and freights are low, al most beyond precedent. The most gratifying intelli gence of the past fortnight is the improvement in the state of the weather ; if the fall of rain at Bombay has been general we shall probably be relieved of the scourge of famine —scarcity and dearth are inevitable. We can not look for anything like an average crop, but the pressure will, we trust, stop short of starvation. "The Sauthal insurrection is not yet.entirely subdued; the insurgents are still scattered over the country, but the outrages with which their career commenced have in ti great measure ended. The hope of supernatural aid has failed them Their leader has been captured. Seven thousand of those engaged in the outbreak have surrend ered. They find that their bows and arrows have not the elighest chance against our musketry, and. that any thaws of them, however large, is scattered by any de tachment of our troops, however small. As the move ment has thus become as purpos e les s as it i s i mpotent —Si the malcontents ire without a guide or a purpose —and as they find themselves shot down or made pri oeers whenever they are overtaken, all idea of serious langer from them has ceased. They are said to be en ,le,avouring to.emigrate with their families deeper into - Ale mountains, in hopes of finding a place of refuge so emote that justice will not reach them. Their recent ,utrages cannot be overlooked, and the plan formerly Tinted at of deportinw them wholesale to British Bur- u:ah seems very likely to befallen bsck upon. " We have heard of no disturbance since our last on the north-west frontier, and, though we never can ex pect to be wholly free of outrages on the highland line, these promise speedily to become reduced to petty raids -arid isolated liftitigs—universal wherever a rich lowland stretches up to the base of barren and impene rable mountains. " The dissentients in Oude have become s suddenly re conciled, under the apprehension of immediate annexa tion, awakened by the appearance of the Military Secre tary to the Governor-General on a special mission to the Resident. The comm&tion was temporary and unex pected ; its continuance or extension might have has tttned the crisis, which is not averted by its di.i.ap pearance. " In British Burmah everything seems tranquil, the usual emeute of the prisoners working out of doors under A guard scarcely forming an exception. The Embassy , roceeds auspiciously on its way to Ava, experiencing he warmest welcome as it advances. Apprehensions s-em to be entertained by the natives that the Golden Foot may decline what is desired of him, and hostilities he resumed. His Majesty, luckily, is nut misled by the eloquence of the peace party in England, for the excel lent reason that he is ignorant of its ex.stence, and is perfectly aware from what he has seen, that when our troops next take the field, Burinah to its utmost boun dary becomes a British province. " We have the u •ual disturbances in the NlZaill'El do minions, though scarcely to the cut onary extent. " The chief fighting in India is kept for the cold weather. " There has been a trifling outbreak in the Rewa Caunta, a province belonging to the Guicowar, between a couple of rival sects of Mahomedans. The political agent, Major Wallace, t. 4 avert blood,hed, called out a couple of guns and 370 men from Baroda, and the approach of a force such as this is likely to prevent fur ther mischief.- " Active movements have of late taken place in the Parsee community, with a view to the improvement of the laws and institutions of the caste, making them more worthy than they have hitherto been of the position the most energetic body of our natives enjoy. Their clergy save set theniseives against all reform. " The Government arrangements for the establish ment of a museum are now completed, the buildings are being prepared, and specimens are being collected under the charge of a committee consisting of Dr. Impev, chairman ; Professor Fraser, Professor Sineair, Mr. W. F. Hunter, and Dr. Burst, secretary and curator. It is hoped that the public will be admitted by Christmas. The Governor-General, it is understood, will visit Bur mah on his return to Calcutta, and remain with us till February ; Lord 'Harris is on tire Neilgherries with 'AM Dalhousie ; Lcrd Elphinsione is at Bombay. Trade is in a very depressed state, and freights have gone still further down. There is no change iu the money market." COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. THE BOMBAY MARKET. From August 29 to September 11. The Overland Mail from London of the 10th August was received in Ronbay early on the morning of the 4th inst., having been brought on to Bombay from Aden by the Peninsular and Oriental steamer Norna, and the P. d ditional arrivals from the west are :--From Liverpool— The Napoleon 111., Viscount Saedon, Henry Moore, and James Pilkington. From Glasgow—The Jane Jack Mitchell, and Alfred the Great. From Hull—The Howden. From London via Kurrachee—The :.far mion, and Kenilworth. From Gravesend—The Hi bernia. From Greenock—Ti'e Rosins. Our money-market during the fortnight has been with out change, and rates of interest continue the same ; but as money is now coming more in demand we do not an ticipate lower rates. Transactions in Government se curities have been limited, but a slight improvement on our former quotations has taken place. A seasonable change, we are happy to say, has oc curred in the weather since our last commercial report, and there is now reason to hope that a famine, which at one time seemed inevitable, will be averted, although dearth and scarcity to a considerable extent must prevail in consequence of the failure of our monsoon. Up to the present time about 45 inches of rain have been mea sured, or little more than ball of our average supply. Appearances, however, are in favour of a continuance of rain, which has fallen hesvily within the la-t 48 hours, and we hope this great deficiency will be le-sened. The reports from the interior are more encouraging than they were, still the prospects of our import market are far from promising, for, althoigh there is reason to believe that British manufactures are in moderate supply up country, still dealers tender lower prices than previously ranged, which holders have met to some small extent ; but, should rain continue to fall f or another week or t e n I days, a reaction, we think, will take place, and a gene ral improvement be apparent in both demand and prices. Cotton Piece Goods:—The supplies in band of all de scriptions, save yarns and bleached goods, are ample, and prices in most descriptions of cotton fabr CS have gone back, as also in some counts of grey yarns, but even of these the stocks are sufficiently large to prevent any material rise in value, and, with what is on the way, more than ample for the requirements of our market. Metals.—The market continues firm, and prices are t but although s t oc k s are nearly s ex hausted,eaclily advancing, they do onot yet realise remunerative rates. Cochineal.—We have heard of a vale to the extent of 1,2001 b., at 3r. la. per lb. Saffron.—A batch of 3001 b. damaged realised 3r. per lb., but good quality is in demand at a further advance. Beer and Spirits.—The following sales have transpired: —75 bhds, salt beer, 45r. per hhd. ; 30 hhds. Berwick beer, 41r. per hhd. ; 50 hhds. Dawson's beer, 35r. 6a. per 15 square b o ttl es eac h, 13r. Ba d. ; 50 cases o per rc a s e; 40dol gin, nPrench brandy, 10r. per dozen. EXPORTS. Cotton Wool.—The market has been very quiet, and little doing for Great Britain, but on the arrival of the China steamer more activity has been apparent, and, with increased inquiry for that quarter, prices have advanced 20r. 3a. per candy. Broach and Surat may be quoted 96r. to 97r. ; Dhollera, 98r. to 99r. ; Oom rawattee, 88r. to 89r. ; Compta, 93r. to 94r. per candy. Sheep's Wool.—There is little alteration to notice in this article, which, however, continues in good demand. Oil Seeds.—Contracts for future delivery are now with difficulty made, even at a further advance in prices. Since our last 18,000 cwt. of lin. has been taken at 54r. per cwt. Niger and teel are both very scarce, as also rape, which has improved in price. Opium.—Malwa.—The accounts of a material defi ciency in the crop, owing to the scanty fall of rain, had w the effect o f sen d ing pr i ce s up at o time to 1,025 f. for latuldleigre but at which little was done, and prime, with better accounts of the monsoon, have been de clining, and may now be quoted I,ooof. for Mundleisir, 985 r. per chest Indore. The steamer of the 2d inst. bad 1,658 chests. Hemp.- -In this there is little change to report, all de scriptions being as last reported, except Rh►j.tpore, which is slightly lower. Transactions are-140 'candies Raja pore hemp, 35r. per candy. Popper.—The demand is very languid, and, in the absence of transactions, l prices here declined lr. per candy. -" Tonnage is abundant, but the rates have fallen, and 21. 15s. per ton to Liverpool may now be quoted as the rate of the day ; we have heard of an engagement under particular arrangement at 3/. Several vessels are on the berth for China, and, with an increased business doing in cotton for that quarter, rates have advanced to 12r. to 13r. per 'candy. Exchange on England. during the fortnight ,ruled steadily at the following quotations :-2s. 1 5-16 d. to 2s. Ifd. for China, and first-class credit ; anc' 2s. 14d. to 2s. 1 9-16. for documents. On Calcutta we quote 1011 r. at sight, and 99ir. at 60 days' sight ; on Madras, par at 30 days' sight ; and on China, 217 r. at 60 days' eight. THE ALLIED ARMIES. (From a 'Correspondent of the Times.) • CAMP* OF THE ALIAD ARMIES ON THE-TOHEANATA, Oct. 2. In the, absenc, i cf ,stirljng7e.Teptc-on this side, the news from tipatoria has rivetted the whole attention for the . c:: On Saturday last the French and - Turkish cavalry meat' t !train ;EurititOiii-ni- rbail to Perelicip: After having crossed the stone bridge which leads over the creek running inland from Sasik they fortneirin . three' columns, with th. 3 French cavalry in the centre and the Turkish. cavalry on both wings, and pushed forward. The Russian outpOsts fell slowly back, drawing up by degrees their reserves on all sides, and bringing up their horse artillery. They had, however, with a Turkish commander, no more to do, and a succession of well directei manoeuvres for Ced them to stand, when the French cavalry charged in the most brilliant manner, broke them, and took six guns and 200 prisoners. The French and Turks followed them up nearly 14 miles inland, and then returned with their trophies to Eupw toria. It is stated that General d'Allonville, the French commander of this expedition, has pledged hims e lf to cut off all communication with Pertkop if they send him a division of French or English infantry, or some more cavalry. This statement is not so surprising as the fact that nearly four weeks after the fail of Sebastopol no measures have been taken to effect this object., which must be always of the utmost importance, whether one is of opinion that the Russians intend to evacuate the Crimea before the winter or not. In the first place, a large cavalry force oil the flank would be much more efficiect in hatening a retreat than large columns of irt fantry, or even cavalry, in the r ar ; and, in the s.cond, a consuterable force in Eupatoria, principally of cavalry, at the present moment, when the harvests north of tl e isthmus of Perekop afford the heat epportueity of filling the Rub sian magazines in the Crimea, nod when the state of the toads facilitates the convoy of provisions—would farce the Russians to send an army with every convoy, or else convince them better than anything else of the im possibility of remaining in the Crimea during another winter. The force which is now. at Eupatoria may in flict lessee on the Russians in the immediate neighbour hood of Eupatoria, but it is scarcely sufficient to injure serioudy and permanently even the coinieunicittion by the isthmus of Perekop. Now, it must not be forgetteu that this isthmus is not the only line of communication of the Russians with the north. Without takin g into consideration the spit or isthmus of Ar a bat, which, from its precarious character, can scarcely be reckoned as a permanent line of communication, the Russians con structed in the course of last year a military road across the peninsular of Tchongar, to the east of Perekop, which leads down directly to Simpheropal, running nearly parallel, but not uniting with that cowing from Perekop to Simpheropon Hai-measures, therefore, cannot greatly hinder the Russians in their communications. Such encounters as that on Saturday last will doubtless inspire the Russians with considerable respect for the cavalry of the allied armies, or rather for the French cavalry, for there is. not a man of our splendid cavalry in Eupatoria. They will, unless they have an immense advantage in numbers, most studiously avoid them, but as soon as they retire the Russian cavalry will come back. In fact, it is the best and easiest way of securing the safety of their line of communication to amuse the forces at Eupatoria, which are not strong enough to venture to send flying columns into the interior, by the will-o'-the-wisp sya. tem of mauceuvring, even at the risk of being, like lost time, caught occasionally, and of losing a few hundred' men and some guns. But even these partial efforts of the French are better than the complete inactivity in which our cavalry passes its days in Kara nyi. A look at the map, or a ride about the Baidar valley, which at least nine-teethe of our officers have made, must convince everybody that, although there are spots in which cavaory charges might be effected, yet that this part of the country is not fit to act with cavalry on a grand scale ; be - sides, as it could neither be expected that they should distinguish them selves in the trenches, nor scale the heights of Mackenzie or Aitodar, it seems certainly strange that such e large force of cavalry should have remained without e uploY• merit, when there was scope enough for it in another place, and when every one was burning with the desire to show that the charge of Ba'akiava has not at all shaken the confidence of the men and officers, unless one sup poses that the anxiety of avoiding on e fault makes us fall into another. Last year the results of the battle of the Alma were certainly crippled from want of cavalry, and might have created a cohtsctiou that it is very un desirable to deprive an advancing army of a PT"r tiormate forge of cavalry, but this year we have, together with our allies, cavalry enough for both purposes ; amid ceromiely Government cannot oe accused of shortcousings in this respect. There were alreaoly several days ago runours of an aff sir between the detachment of the 10th Hussars at Kertch and the Russians, which, as they were rather vague, I did cot ineniion in my last letter.' They are now a fact, the details of which are, I learn, as. follows --The detachments of Chasseurs d'Afrique asti of the 10O) 'Hussars went out for a reconnaissance, the former as first column, the seoond in support. The Chasseurs d'Afrique, being as much as 10 or 12 modes ahead, fell `" with a body of Russian cavalry numbering n igh 600 me-, and, not being able to encounter them WIL" su ch odds, being (slily a troop of sea. cely more than 100 men, they gent hack to the place where the Hussars as re sta tnred to get reit& ircements. Time commanderof the latter, unwilling to leave the position which was to insure a safe retreat unprotected, left one troop there, and ad vanced with the other ; but as the distance was consi derable, and it was essential not to fatigue the horses, ' he could only arrive at nightfall at the appointed spot. The French Chasseurs, in the meantime, had found means of retiring, and when the morning broke the troop of Hussars found itself alon e , and its retreat cu t off by the Russian cavalry, which in following the French had come into their rear. So nothing remained but to break a way through the enemy's squadrons, and this was done most gallantly, with the loss of only 16 men,--a now proof that Russian cavalry has not the least chance, even with such great odds in its favour, in encountering English cavalry, whether Dragoons or Hussars, light or heavy ; but it is likewise a slight me mento of the often-experienced, one might say, stale truth, that divided command is just as bad, if not worse, for cavalry than for infantry, and that it does not an ewer better in field than in siege operations. Nothing new on the Tchernaya. The time passes in drilling, and rifle and band practice, enlivened occa sionally by a shot from one of the Russian cliff batteries on Mackenzie's ridge. They greet us every morning at daybreak, as if to refute the idea of an intention of the Russians to retreat. The Piedmonteee are busy witb the railway and with butting. If one sees the huts gradually rising, and seemingly without trouble, one cannot help making melancholy reflections, reme mbering the difference from last year, when trenches, and want of to ols and mate rials, made: the construction of the most wretched hovel appear a work of gigantic efforts. But the difference suggests, on the other hand, an agreeable prospect for the winter ; plenty of wood and leisure enough for 'the construction of a town. The Sardinians have evidently followed in the construction of their huts the system of Tartar sheds—sticks planted in the ground, and inter woven with branches, the whole plastered over with mud, and then the roof covered with earth, or if p oss ibl e, with tiles collected from the ruined houses in the neigh bourhood. The French have now nearly completed the road across the valley which connects the Feduikhine heights on the bank of the Tchernaya with their main road from Kamiesh, which hitherto did not go further than the Col de Balakiava. The Turks alone have not yet made any arrangements for the winter, exceiA serving out the short sheepskin coats to the men. The cause of this is that their fate seems not yet to be decided, whether they will remain here or be sent to Asia ; the latter alternative is, how ever, the more generally assumed. and hopes are enter tained that by the end of this month the last fez-capped soldier will have left this part of the Crimea. In the meantime only the Chasseurs have gone. At Baidar the French still occupy their position on the heights commanding the two roads to the north, making occasional descents into Koukoulossa and Mar koul on one side, and Ozembash on the other. They are still occupied in making the roads across the valley as well as up the heights practicable for an army. The main road used by the Tartars from Baidar to Bakshi- Serai is that which leads by Ourkusta to-Ozembash, and thence across the Tchouliou and up by Aitodor to the plateau ; but even this is wretched, or at least was so before the French laid hands on it. The other, which leads up between the two points called btothe Tartars Yaila Bashi (" Head of the Yaila"), and Tekui-bair (from its shape resembling an inverted washing tub), is' even worse ; and, as it is only used occasionally as a cart road, needs even mere reparation than the former. The Russians have entirely retired from Markoul and Koukouloussa, and have, with the exception of their Outposts, retired to Fot-Sala, at the 'confluence of seve ral mountain streams with the Belbek. Theyhave thrown up batteries to command the defile of the river and the two roads branching out from that point, one along the banks of the Belbek to Alband• and Kutschuk Sioren and thence to Bakshi-S e rai ; th e o th er t owar d s Ai rgou l, leading int the road between Bakshi-Sergi and Simphe ropol.• Besides the fort at Fot-Sala :the RusSians hive likewise fortified the passage near Airgoul and Kerment shik, on the one side, and near Alban( and Kutachuk Sioren on the other. The disadvantage for an attacking party on this side will always be the want of space for forming an attack, and thus bringing up at once a suffi cient number of men to carry a point. But, if report be true, the Russians are not about to be satisfied with the defence of their strong positions ; they intend pushing back the French divisions from the threatening position which they have assumed on the heights above the•valley of Baidar. They have sent for this purpoie abotit 2,000 Greek volunteers on the moun tain of Yaila, that they may, in case of a successful Russian attack in front, fall on the flank of the retreat ing French. This movement may, however, be only to insure complete security from an attsok on that side ; for, although there are no other than footpaths over these mountains, yet, where shepherds and cattle can climb up, there is no reason to suppose that an active Chas. 6eur-3•Pied or an enterprising Zouave could not climb up too. Nothing can exceed the willingness of the Tartars to help us by giving information, as well as what is• left them of provisions. It would be only desirable that a greater strictness prevailed about payment, for the people in the villages, although rich enough before the war, have been exposed to the exactions of Russian troopers. Yesterday, in riding over the position there, I was told a tragic story of one of the Tartars employed by us, which seemed to have produced a great sensation among the people, although, as you will see, he, and not fate, was ip fault. He was a native of the village of Baza, and wdeengaged to some Tartar beauty at Markoul. When the French occupied the heights and the roads, and when the Russians were no mere seen in Markoul itself, his desire to see his bride was greater than would be warranted by prudence, which is, under ordinary cir cumstances, the prevalent featureof the Tartar character, and a natural consequence of 70 years of Russian rule ; so he went down. He was seen by some prowling Cos sacks, who shot at bins, wounded him in the shoulder, and then carried him off. THE DESTINATION OF THE ALLIED FLEETS. VIENNA, OCT. 9.—lntelligence has been received here that the secret expedition of the allied fleets is destined for the Liman of the Dnieper, a bay or estuary of which but little is kuown. The entrance is guarded by the towns of Otschakow on the north ern side andKinburu on the south, andit isnot much more than a mile wide. The former is known in history, for it was here that the Turkish garri son defended themselves in the campaign of 1788 with great bravery and success against the Rus sians, an I it was only after a siege of several months that Potemkin, the eccentric favourite of Cathe rine, was enabled to take it. There are, it is true, Russian charts of the Liman of the Dnieper, but much reliance cannot be placed on their correct ness, partly from the annual alterations in the tide way formed by the fitful discharge of its waters, and partly from the surveys not having been confided to very accurate and conscientious persons. It is, how ever, expected that this is a difficulty which the science and intelligence of the naval officers of the allies will soon find means to overcome, and if the shallowness of the water precludes the entrance of the line-of-battle ships, it must, on the other hand, prevent the coming out of the Russian larger ves sels, while there is nothing to hinder the gun-boats and other small craft of the allies from entering, and making a s•veep of the coast, as they did in the Sea of Azuff. At the extreme eastern end of the gulf and on the north bank of the Dnieper is situated Cherson, the principal town and seat of government of the province, celebrated for the famous vaunt of the Eel press Catherine, who wrote on the gate of the city "Road to Constantinople." This province, which was torn from Turkey and incorporatAl with Russia ten years later than the Crimea (1792), is a much more extensive territory than Tauris. Nicolaieff appears at present to be the especial ob ject of the Emperor's paternal affection, and the most gigantic efforts are being made to render it a second Sebastopol, as it is now the principal naval establishment in the south. Five-and-twenty years ago it had never been heard of out of Russia, and owes its sudden rise to the genius and energy of Ad miral Lizareff. It is situated at the confluence of the Bug and the Ingul, and surrounded by a barren and flat steppe. There is no bridge here across the rivers, and the communication betwt en the twoshores is kept up by means of flat-bottomed boats orferries. The population at present amounts to 38,067 persons inhabiting 4,998 houses. The town contains six Russo-Greek churches, besides a Cattiol ic and a Lu theran one, and two synagogues (one fur the Jews and the other for the Karaites). Amongst the more important and striking buildings are the Admiralty and several magnificent barracks of three stories each, capable of accommodating 23,000 men. :Within the last few years an immense quantity of guns and ammunition had been accumulated am Nicolaieff, but a great part of them were sent to Sebastopol, and are now lost to the Russians. On the banks of the Ingul an esplanade has been planted, which leads to an oasis in the desert called Sulioi Foutan, a picturesque spot, three miles from Nicolaieff, where there is the public gar len of Spassk, and a spring of pure water, which is con ducted by an aqueduct into the town, and sunplies the inhabitants exclusively, as there are no wells, and the water of the rivers is turbid and unwhole some. The distance of Nicolaieff from Odessa is 121 wersts ; from Simpheropol, 340 ; and from Sebastopol, 401. Immediately on the arrival of the Emperor at Nicolaieff, the principal officer of the engineers at Odessa, Captain Volokoff, was sent for by a tele graphic message, and orders were given him for the immediate construction of five large redoubts, capable of mounting 400 pieces of artillery. At th , same time the building of five hundred gun-boats was commenced in the dockyards, under the per sonal inspection of the Grand Duke Admiral Con stantine, who has brought with him from Cron stadt a large body of working shipwrights and me chanics. These gun-boats are to be each armed with two and four guns of heavy calibre, which ha,ve already arrived from the great cannon foundry at Kiew. T'.e guns for the armament of the two new fm fates, Vitjas and Tiger, have also arrived from Kiew. The Grand Duke Constantine left Nicolaieff on the 27th ult. for Sebastopol--or as near as he can approach to it, and will return with Prince God , schakorf, when the great council of war will be held, in which the future military operations will be definitively settled. As far as is known here, the prince wishes to evacuate his present position on the north side of Sebastopol as perfectly untenable during the winter, and proposes to take up a strong defensive position between Bakshi-Serai and Eu patoria. Whilst the Emperor was inspecting the naval hospital at Nicolaieff, containing the few remains of those sailors that formerly manned his Black Sea fleet, Lieutenant Dorschinsky, of the 45th naval equipage, was presented to him. This officer was severely injured at Sebastopol by the explosion of the Bastion No. 2. On observing that the first attempt to fire the mine proved a failure, he seized the bu: Ding fuse from the serjeant who held it, and deliberately thrust it into an open powder barrel, which immediately had the desired effect, but the ,gallant fellow was severely burnt in the face and arms by the explosion, which also set his uni form on fire. The Emperor expressed his thanks for this proof of his devotion, and to reward him for his noble conduct took off his own decoration of the Order of St. George, and handed it himself to the lieutenant. . c. .in. HOPS IN IRELAND.—The experiment of growing hops in Ireland has been successfully tried this season by Mr. J. Stafford, of Ballyteague, in Westmeath. SAXE COBURG GOTHA.—It has been already stated that the Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha recently declared in the Get itiaoic Diet that he3would oppose the demand of the nobles of his duchy for the restoration of their ancient privileges, abolished in 1848. In cimsequencE , 21 villages of the duchy have just voted an address to his Royal Highness, expressing their gratitude for this liberal policy, and it was presented to him a few days ago, after his return from Paris, by a special deputation. THE COST OF THE WAIL—To tbose who doubt the ability of the country to carry on the war at a cost of 80,000,0001. or 90,000,00 C/. a-year, as long as shall b e necessary, we would observe that if England could bear taxation to the extent of 72,000,0001. in 1815 it would not be too much to say that we could with equal ease bear taxation now to the extent of 100,000,0001., whenn we bear in mind the increased population, wealth, d trade of the country. In 1815 the income asstevese, c l n t puting o it throperuyt on tax the same was 170,000 basis, 00 t cannot ~ a-year b no le:s than 250,000,0001. 250,000,000/. Again, with regard to the exte nt to which it is possible to abstract from the capita l of t h e e country we have had experience in the construction of railways during the last 10 years. When, therefore, we speak of our ability to conduct the warit is obvious that, whether we look to doing so by means of taxation or by loans, it is ample.—Economist. • RECEPTION OF THE NEWS IN AMERd. (Prom the New York Commercial Advertiser.) THE FALL tp o o f th S E.BleiSdraOy. Theintelligence P 0 L —ncourse, took he t the engrossing city by surprise. Its effectin' the street, on board the various ferry-boats, and iudeed, everywhere, was imme diately perceptible. Even tho,e who have professed to isiof anticipate such news by every European steamer were betrayed into the admission that they feared it was "too good news to be true." The tele , raph despatch which the Commercial early placed before its readers was perused with eagerness, and then doubt giving way to certainty the report rapidly spread, and men waited anxiously for farther details, which it was hoped would be brought by the Washington. The accounts spread before our readers today, though they can scarcely be said to enter into detaiis, yet supply information of the deepest interest, and show substantially how the work was accomplished. The citadel which has been so bravely defended was, we must admit, bravely won. Circumstances seem to have given to the French the more glorious participation in the final struggle, and in the capture of the Malakhoff the valour, perseverance, and chivalry of the French troops have been made as conspicuous as in the palmiest days of their world-re nowned glory. The English forces, though less name rous,land on this occasion less favourably circumstanced, have added to their renown. (Front the New York Herald.) The news of the fail of Sebastopol took this city by surprise on Thursday, and spread with the greatest ra pidity—and especially among the French and English residents of New York, who were greatly excited and rejoiced. At one place, in the vicinity of Wall-street, where the news was read out to a promiscuous crowd of merchants, including some English and French business men, three hearty cheers were given for the fall of Sebas topol. On 'Change the great event formed the principal theme of conversation, and many mutual congratulations were exchanged. In the evening the usual resorts of our French citizens, including Delmonico's and several other restaurants, were crowded, and the greatest hilarity dis played, enhanced by the free use of champagne and oth e r wines, which was kept up until a late hour of the night. _ _ BOSTON. Sept. 29.—Upon the arrival of the Royal Mail steam-ship America, at her wharf here, a salute of twenty-Seven guns was fired by the American artillery, at the request of the English and Irish residents of the city, in honour of the victory at Sebastopol. ( Prom the New York Daily Times. ) The partial capture of Sebastopol gives pause suffi cient to post the books. At the opening of the contest, that of Russia was the most powerful and influential government in Europe. Its navy, constructed on the must stupendous and improved scale, crowded the Bal tic and manoeuvred within the horizon of Constantinople. Its armies amounted to a million of well disciplined and provided troops. The art of fortification was reputed to have achieved itsutmost in defending every approach able point on the coast. No treasury was more plethoric; no credit so dear to capitalists. Its external commerce of export and import was enormous ; the progress of in ternal development rapid and magnificent. Ties of blood and gratitude were supposed to have ueited Prussia and Austria indissolubly to the Imperial interests, whatever field they might select for exercises ; and as advanced posts for the accrntplishrneut of traditional designs upon the Ottoman Empire, Moldavia, Wallachia, and the navigation of the Danube were substantially in its pos session. Money, diplomacy, position, arms, political sagacity, and unscrupulous ambition could not have dime more to strengthen the empire for any conflict, and especially tor the greatest it could anticipate—that villich was sooner or later to decide the destiny of its sick neighbour at the South—when the initiative in the existing war was undertaken by the Czar. Three years have not gone by, and ambition has its Lesson. The navy is annihilated ;of those vessels that. flaunted the Muscovite flag within sight of the Turk ish capital on the day when the Allies entered the Black Sea not one remains. The victors of Sinope have suffered a poorer fate than the vanquished. The men-if war which patrolled the Baltic have been driven into the rivers or sunk at the gates of harbours. Marine traffic has ceased to exist ; what little trade is left is conducted at great cost overland. The blockade temporarily aban doned by the Baltic and White Sea squadrons will be still more vigorously maintained by Admiral Frost. The army has been defeated at every encounter, until all its prestige is lost. And Sebastopol, the master-key of the Euxine, the custodian of that best theft from the Muesul man, the Crimea—and the Crimea itself, which Pi incekle Ligne, at the period of its occupation by his imperial mistress, described as a " Tartar Paradise," will, in all probability, remain at the end of the campaign in the hands of the invaders!, With the cessation of external trade domestic industry must be suspended. ' If. Eng.. land suffers industria•ly with the loss of the Russian Jiarket, what most Russia suffer, who loses the market f a wort 1 ? Its great enterprises are suspended. Its currency is debased by the substitution of paper fa- Both at home and abroad the credit of the imperial exchequer is seriously impaired, if not by recent events destroyed. Added to these evils is the pccupation of the Principalities, and of the shores of the Danube by the Austrian, who will belie all his antecz.-- dents if he fail to employ this hour of extremity in tres ion to his best helper ; and the picture of change is com plete. No contrast can be more striking than that be tween the Russian monarchy of 1852 in prosperity with iti crown on the brow of . the astute Nicholas, and that nonarcby to-day, in calamity, with its fate in the un practised hand of a comparative stripling. (From the Philadelphia Bulletin.) THE NEWS AND THE NEWS BOYS. —The startling news ~ f the takieg of Sebastopol, ,which reached the city yes terday afternoon, created an unwonted excitement. .among all classes. The merchant, the broker, and the politician were of course ail largely interested in the great event, and the anxious inquirers who besieged the Bulletin office in search of particulars, aftei the rumour of the fall of the much-talked-of fortress had been whis pered, attested the interest felt in the intelligence. The dttaches of the office kept "mum," however, until the particulars were in type and on the press, when the fact that "Sebastopol est pris" was announced on a placard outside the dour at half-past two o'clpck ; and then com menced the fun among the news boys. The news spread iike wildfire among the urchins, and a general rush for the second edition was the result. No other paper had as yet issued au "extra," and the boys, with toter usual ~lirewdness knew that the first in the mark e t with the details would make a ready sale of papers. The boys, to ~-cure the coveted sheets, fairly clambered over each •.t leis heads in the room where they are supplied with ~:seers, and when they obtained their supplies they rushe:l " like mai" through the streets, entangling themselves vith passing vehicles, and creeping between the legs of omnibus horses in their eagerness to get abroad with their bundles. The clamour made by the boys was ae Amusing as their movements. One shaver, with a pair of lungs out of all proportion to his puny size, bellowed out lustily) " Extree bulleteeit ! Sebastopol takin by the Rooshins ! Second edishun !" Others announced in addition a "great fight among the alleys." And a fast looking cub in shirt sleeves and a black eye assured a purchaser that "all about the muss" would be found it. th e bulletin. The long-talked-of, often-expected, and 'iamb-deferred fall of Sebastopol has at length taken place, and the shock has been felt at Third and Chest nut-streets, as well'as at St. Petersburg, Constantinople, London, and Paris. REJOICINGS IN CANADA. (From the Montreal Ptlot.) SEBASTOPOL FALLEN !—The moment the news of the fall of Sebastopol reached this city it spread like wild fire, and on every countenance might be seen the great est delight. Persons were running hither and thither to tell the glorious news t) their friends. Flags were immediately hung out from Dolly's, Hill and Clarke's, Mr. Jones, of Tattersall's, and several other places. The Pilot office at once hoisted the union jack and tricolour on their mast above the office. On the reception of the news at the High School, it was read to the boys, who, bre4king through ail restraint, made the roof ring exit their cheers, and were granted a holiday. The s hire! In the harbour were decked out with their colours flying The Britannia hoisted a bear's skin below th e D jack. In the ev en i ng , cons i lering the short be tween the receipt of the news and nightfall, th e timeil hwer e er m e os lit Iliu t 'ions were very g eneral. Some of them tasteful and appropriate.

[Our contemporary then proceeds to describe the va• rious devices, Sce., used at the illumination. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed, and the editor closes his com ments with an acknowledgment that even he has not escaped the infection. "We have dashed off these few remarks," he says, " under the excitement of the news, which, we confess, has altogether upset our equilibrium. God save the Queen ! et Vice l'Empereur Napoleon !"] (From the Toronto Globe.) In Toronto the news was received with the greatest joy. The newspaper offices were crowded for hours after the receipt of the telegraphic report. Groups were farmed in the streets to read the contents of the reports. Extras stuck up ih shop wi h dows bignorge (usrll In Hamilton the Independent Artillery Company, commanded by Captain Booker ' turned out and fired 30 rounds in the Market- s qu are . The fire brigade likewise mustered in full force, and, forming into a torchlight procession, escorted the artillery to the ground. Rocketa were set off in great numbers, bonfires were kindled in• various parts of the city, a display of firewOrks took place s and at the close a large number of our citizens partook of a collation at the Burlington Hotel. The demonstra tion was every way worthy the loyal character of that city. In Guelph the news was received with every demon- stration of loyalty. Bonfires, illuminations, and perpetual dischaTes of firearms, together with cheerful strains of music and the loud hurrahs of I y spectators, bore testimony up to a late hour of the night to the lively sympathy of our townsmen for the heroes of the allied troops. At King,ton great excitement prevailed. The bells were set ringing, flags of all descriptions were hoisted, the little boys shouted, and every indication of great rejoicing was manifested. Everybody was in the streets, and everybody rejoiced at the success of the al ies. At Brockville, on Friday night, 100 guns were fired, and a general illumination took place. The news was received with great joy. Ottawa city received the news with great satisfaction. The British, the Albion, the St. Lawrence, and other hotels, with Telegraph-office, were brilliantly illuminated; a large bonfire blazed on the Barrack-bill, some gun powder was burned, and many of our citizens enjoyed themselves amazingly. A public meeting was held on Friday, at which resolutions were passed requesting Capti Turner to fire a salute. A committee was ap- pointed to draft an address of congratulation to her Majesty, and that the mayor be requested to issue his proclamation for a general illumination. ROBBERY Of! A CHURCH IN THE CITY. Yesterday morning, at an early hour, it was disco. vered that a most daring robbery had been committed Wit t h tf ou pe t, a C rs rip th p a le t f ia at t e e , i b n y t s h o e m e e ve e n x in p g er o t f th s i u e n v d es a . y in the vestry-room of th e p ar i s h c h urc h o f S t. Gil es I the pot man of Mr."WiTtahire; whose establishment adjoins the yard of the church at the back, nearly c ntiguous to the window of the vestry-room, heard something like a tap ping at a pane of glass, and a sudden rustling, as he passed his master's back door, before the hour of closing. Not taking any further notice of this circumstance, how ever, he made fast the back entrance, and, with the family, retired to•rest. Yesterday morning when he took down the back shutter he found the vestry window in the churchyard broken, and the lattice -work torn from its place. He immediately informed his master, who sent for the churchwarden. The latter, proceeding to inspect the premises with the sexton, found that the vestry had been entered, and the master-key of the iron safe abstracted from its usual place of safe keep ing. The thief, or thieves, had evidently entered by the opening in the window, which they cawed by a most ingenious cutting away of the glass. They had apparently carefully examined the safe and its con tents, and succeeded in taking away the gold and silver there deposited, which, however, was not a very consi derable sum. Several of the drawers in the vestry had been "prised," or forced with a lever. The thieves having been defeated in obtaining any important amount of plunder, they forced the door from the vestry leading Into the church, and apparently attempted to force the contribution box and the plate chest, which resisted their efforts, for the contents remain secure. Being thus failed, it appears that they then opened the closet con taining the " tent " or " sacramental " wine. This, it appears, was not according to their palate, as they left the bottle upon the floor, 'and the glass they had used, partially filled, standing beside it, but a small portion having been used from the bottle. The closet containing the best wine was not touched, nor were some pounds in money in the sexton's drawer. The fellows having regaled themselves, left the vestry in a state of confusion, leaving behind them the bags which contained the money they had stolen, anti the iron safe open. It is supposed that they obtained admission on Sunday even ing to the churchyard, where one or more of them se crete i themselves, and that, awaiting their opportunity, they effecte 1 the robbery r.bout midnight, and subLe quently decamped by the vicarage -house, which at the present time is not inhabited. From some facts which transpired in the course of yesterday, there is no doubt that a clue to the parties bas been obtained by the po lice, who are actively engaged in tracing the fellows concerned in the eacrilege. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. ARBITRATION CASE.—SATURDAY. ROGERS V. THOMPSON. This was an action for breach of promise of marriage, in which the damages were laid at 1,0001. The case came on for bearing at the close of Trinity Tern, in the Court of Exchequer, but owing to the singular revelations which the defendant's counsel said he would be compelled to make, as the basis of his defence, the Lord Chief Baron suggested that it would be advisable to refer the else to some gentlemen of the bar. This course was adopted, and it was mutually agreed that this matter_ should be submitted to Mr. Serjeant Shee, for arbitra tioe, whose award has just be.-n prorntilgat,-d. Mr. E. James, Q.C., who conducted the plaintiff s casa at the trial, submitted tte.t if "injured innocence' was to be protected, his client was justly entitled to full com pensation for the wrongs she had sustained. The plaintiff, Miss Emma Rogers, the daughter of a deceased artist, bad been re-king with her widowed mother at the vil lage of Oki Cliarlten, in Kent, aid by her skill iu paint ing fur papier mache work, she was enabled to acquire the means of supporting herself and her parent in re spectability. In the exercise of her professional duti.s sits had to come up to London for orders, and up , n cite occasion, in the course of last year, elle became accideet ally acquainted with) the defendant (Mr. Thompsoo), who caries .1 the business ef a machine rule iiieuutac nrer, and who is also a bill discounter. Though consi derably older than the plaintiff, Mr. Thompson was fas cinated by the mental and personal charms of the young lady, and after repeated interviews the defendant bee came an accepted suitor, and the wedding breakfast was fixed to take place at the house of Mrs. iirkland, in the Westmi• ster-road, and it was settled that two of that lady's daughters should officiate as bridesmaids. The bridegroom. however, did not make his appearance, and the plaintiff subsequently discovered, to her grief and astenishmen/ - , that he was a married man, having a wile living and a large family of children. trader these cir cumstances the action was brought to irdetnnify the plaintiff f.r the injury she had sustained. [Three letters were put in fir the purpose of establishing the alleged promise of marriage ] Mr. Serjeant Wilkins, for the defence, in a strain of withering sarcasm, denounced the claim of the plaintiff as a vile attempt to extort money fr his client ;he undertook to prove that the letters relied upon were base forgeries, concocted by an artful and unprincipled young woman, or, it not by the lady herself, by some injudicious friends, under whose advice she had thus foolishly asked for 1,0001., as the moderate cernpeesation due to " injured Innocence." Let us see, said the learned ser jeaut, what are the real facts of this shameful case; and, first of all, what is there so very atlrac:ive in the person of my client that a young woman should fall so despe rately rately in love with him at first sight ? He is a litht'a had for•oeti man, so short of stature indeed that if be d t look over twopence he would have to stand u o p f on_a e n . sheet . a of paper. He bas, however, the reputations bi 8, en rich man, and possibly this gentle lady() have hZpenedi that Thompson's vizage in his purse. It first met B Miss Rogers, my client had, on the day and having drank more been dining with two gentlem h e e e r n ; nice rale pre , cribes, the wine than regard to the te b r e p . When passing along the party sallied out fora ram Strand they saw a young and pretty woman looking in at a shop window. O n e of the gentlemen bet Thom son a bottle of wine that be would not have courage to speak to her. "Faint heart never won fair lady ;"he did a ddress her , wa s not repulsed, a n d t h e lady ad journed with them to a tavern, wbere they had sundry refresh me a nd, eventually, Tho m p son, who was the longest P urse to, of n the party, so f ar i ngratiated himself i n t o blissbliss , Rogers favour that h e h a d the supreme felicity o f escorting her i n a cab to the railway sta tion, and they continued to meet, on subsequent occa sions, by the lady's own appointment, for in one of her letters she wrote thus :—" I will be at the corner of the court at the u-ual time. We will go to Drury-lane (Theatre), and I will atop." All this was, no doubt, highly immoral —in a married man more especially, but sail it did not constitute any claim for breaoh of promise of marriage, as het out in the declaration. From the evidence adduced before the learned arbi trator, it appeared that the defendant had frequently given the plaintiff sums of money, but there was nothing to sustain the alleged complaint, with the exception of some letters which were proved to be mere fabrications. The award was, consequently, for the defendant. DREADFUL ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE• DUBLIN.
