ROYAL LYCEUM THEATRE. - 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 leesing distinctive characteristics and peculiar phases of amusement. It is not a monologue, for the audience them- Pelves 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 startling 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 has been enabled to announce Magic and Mystery for con tinuous repetition. He believes that no professor of his art las at any time or in any place been honoured with an amount of success so extensive, so decided, - and so unusual. 11e 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 I,erfected skill in one peculiar art, and to perfect which he has travelled the globe in every clime ; secondly, that he has } 'Pared 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 with their presence, he has not forgotten thee i t is possible to afford information also, and that the oppor tunity should not be neglected of exposing conjuring where (ver it has been used for nefarious purposes, or whenever by r esorting to the conjuror's arts, in an illegitimate manner, 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 lheat re up to the present date, bear witness to the great in lerest taken on the subject of this singular delusion ; whilst many of them bear melancholy evidence to the dangers which ttend a belief in the superstitions nonsense of the " Spiri tualists." Judging simply by the correspondence which has resulted, Professor Anderson's expose of spirit-rapping and his illustration of the so-called table phenomena, have pro duced a sensation unequalled by any previous attempt to ex rose a mischievous and. impudent juggle. It is impossible f or Professor Anderson to reply at length to a tithe of th c ommunications 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 l een converts to a belief so preposterous in itself, and se "sii.V susceptible of being controverted and disproved. Every evening, from the Lyceum stage, Mr. Anderson's opinions E,Pyirit-rapping are tables exprcan beessed, and made to every evenin s g, within th Lceum, bow rap i exhibited end elucidated. It is respectfully requested that this I üblic exposition will be accepted generally as Professor Anderson's only mode of replying at full length to hie I nultitudinous correspondents. He regrets that the names of the great and learned of the land should L ave been made to figure in the documents emanating t toin the spirit-rappers, as for instance the following, ex ll'acted from the Morning Advertise?. of Thursday, Septem ter 20, and taken by that journal from the New York Spiri b-tal Telegraph. It purports to emanate from an American a nirit-rapper, Mr. D. D. Hume :—" Sir David Brewster Lankly confesses that be is sorely puzzled' at what he has ' w itnessed, and Lord Brougham acknowledges himself to be thoroughly nonplussed. Both of these noted men brought Zile whole force of their keen discernment to bear upon the solution of the phenomena ; but the presence of substantial, actual hands, and the demonstrative strength of the spirits 'l , ho thus clothed themselves for the time, and moved mate rial obj ec t s a b ou t th e room, prove d to be too much of a ques tion for them to master." Mr. D. D. Brune, the author of the *hove, has recently left England, and the following account of I\4 , and what he is, occurs in the Family Herald, No. 648: " This young man, who is a Scotchman by birth, and now ul Italy, is a remarkable medium for all the manifestations Without apparatus. Barnum, who is well-known throughout the Anglo-Saxon world as a splendid humbug, offered him 2.000 dollars per annum if he would perfra nted orm at that medium could he bought. He was somewhat astonished when his offer was refused- Hume, on telling the fact in London lately, simply 011 d honestly remarked, that the money would have been very acceptable to him, for ho was poor, young (under 20), an or 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. l ie inquired into 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 whore ! night be supposed to be sane. Even if Barnum does believe spirit-rapping— does spirit-rapping gain or lose be this accession to its adherents? and, with Barnum's endorse. blent to it, is this bill, drawn on public credulity, more likele to be negotiated ? Professor Anderson would believe not ; tut, whenhave fi the nds that educated cen of the Church of flfeland he temerity to subscrib lerg e their names to so gross a swindle when he finds that the incumbent of Wortley (the J - "v. N. J. Godfrey) positively asserts his belief in it, and Writes a book on the subject, he considers it to be time for ?jell to state that which he knows of the mechanism by which rt is effected, and the mischief to which it tends. In the ;raming Advertiser of October 3 appears a letter from Sir -David Brewster, relative to that which he saw at Cox's Hotel. i n company with Lord Brougham. He distinctly states that Which the Wizard. of the North proclaims every night—that a nirit-rapping is nothing more than conjuring applied to bad turPoses. In the Morning Advertiser of the following day 'owever, there is an answer to Sir David's letter from one no was present when he and Lord Brougham had their "eauee with the spirits, in which the writer says, that " the table (a large dinner-table, I believe) moved about in the most e xtraordinary 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 Fight hand, apart from any person, it played an air through. eta." With such a statement, printed for the edification of th people of the 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 18t8 of America, as given by him nightly at the Lyceum, will De received. by the people of 'England as genuine honest at tempts to provide an antidote for the bane of the spiritual Jtgelers. 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. . I ng, the programme being continually changed.

Hood, sod was received by Lord Ernest Bruce and Mr. Norman Macdonald. His Majesty received addresses of congratulation immediately after his arrival. The Lard Mayor and her Majesty's Commissioners of Lieutenantcy of the City of London were first introduced, when his Lordship read the following address : We, the Lord Mayor, the Aldermen, and the rest of her Majesty's Commissioners of Lieutenantcy for the City of London, gladly seize the occasion of your Ma jesty's auspicious visit to our beloved Sovereign to tender the homage of our high consideration and respect, and to manifest the joy with which we welcome your presence in the metropolis of the British Empire. We regard with admiration the liberal and enlight ened policy with which your Majesty, in the earnest de sire to promote the happiness and welfare of your sub ject?, with a noble confidence in their love and gratitude, has voluntarily bestowed upon your people the ines timable gift of a free government. We have seen your Majesty with true magnanimity, worthy of all imitation, unite your arms with those of the Western Powers to vindicate the independence of Europe, and to maintain the integrity of the Turkish Empire against the attacks of its powerful and aggres sive neighbour. We have witnessed with the liveliest satisfaction the efficient services in the field of battle of your valiant Army, side by side with the victorious troops of our illus trious ally the Emperor of the French, and of our be loved Queen, achieving a glorious triumph, and proving themselves the worthy soldiers of the sovereign who has himself fought and bled in their ranks in the cause of Italian liberty. I❑ the prosecution of this just and righteous cause we humbly rely upo❑ the blessing of the Lord of Hosts to crown the successes of the Allies with an honourable and lasting peace, and we pray that your Majesty may long be sparer' to accomplish your high destiny, and to reign over a free, prosperous, and happy people. The King was graciously pleased to return the following answer:— Les sentimen , que vous venez de m'exprimer de la part des Commissaires Royaux de la Lieutenance ds la Citi de Londres me touchant profondement. Le bonheur demon peuple a toujours form 6 le plus cher de mes vceux ; c'est done avec une bien vive satis faction que je vois que mes somas pour !'assurer sont si favorablement interpretes par les represectans munici paux de ce grand pays.

THE ADDRESS OF THE CORPORATION OF LONDON. MAY IT PLEASE YOUR MAJESTY, We, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of London, in Common Council assembled, desire to offer to your Majesty our grateful congratulations on your Majesty's arrival in this country, as the honoured a h t a relations e guest of our beloved and mo st g racious Queen • and on behalf of our fellow citizens , and fo r ourselves, we humbly tender to your Majesty the war mest expressio n of of our gratitude for the we lcome visi t to our city, with which you have deigned t o honour us this day. W mutual of which the e extensionhi t a ii is the t t h h e e a w r nirsfi wish of of o st f eh ifyoursriepne friendly Majesty eatnodb as a cultivate ti with all m nations, and which are daily drawn clos er by the cordial intercoursenanrtesien, andof S theov er progress i gi s, tnhfeinterchange unrestricted commerce. o f We see in your Majesty the representative of a long line of illustrious Sovereigns, and rejoice to find the throne filled by one who in the present mo mentous epoch, has joined his armies to those of France, Turkey, and England, and who has not only avowed his desire to participate in the triumph of the principles for which the Allied Powers are now resolutely contending, but animated by the generous sentiments of his Sub- Alpine people and the traditions of the House of Savoy, has heroically thrown himself into the cause of justice and civilisation, with a resolution to persevere until a durable peace, guarantseing to every nation its legiti a mate rights, shall be obtained. It is with solemn gratitude to the Almighty Disposer of events that we reflect upon the unbroken success which has proved the superior power and bravery of the Allied armies and fleets, supported as they have been under al most incredible pr►vations, by a lofty sense of the right eous cause in which they are engaged, and in which the arms of Sardinia have borne so generous a part. Our most gracious Sovereign and her illustrious Allies, undazzled by the splendour of repeated triumphs, and the continued progress of victory, seek no more than to vindicate the rights of nations, and secure a lasting and honourable peace. In the contest for this high purpose, our beloved Queen, acting in concert with her allies, may firmly rely upon the strongest and most cheerful efforts of the loyal citizens of London and of all her people, united as they are in duty and affection to her Majesty's person and government, and in a determination to defend the cause of national independence, and of civiland religious liberty. His Majesty replied as follows : My LORD MAYOR, I offer my heartfelt thanks to you, to the Aldermen, and to the Commons of the City of London, for the cor dial congratulations which you present to me on the occasion of my visit to her Majesty the Queen, and to the British nation. The reception that I met with in this ancient land of constitutional liberty, of which your address is a confir mation, is to me a proof of the sympathy inspired by the policy I have hitherto pursued, a policy in which it is my intention constantly to persevere. The close alliance existing between the two most powerful nations of the earth, is honourable alike to the wisdom of the Sovereigns who govern them, and to the character of their people. They have under stood how preferable is a mutually advantageous friend shin to ancient and ill-defined rivalry. This alliance is a new fact in history, and is the triumph of civilisation. Notwithstanding the misfor tunes which have peighed upon my kingdom, I have entered into this alliance, because the House of Sagoy ever deemed it to be its duty to draw the sword when the combat was for justice and for independence. If the forces which I bring to the Allies are those of a State not vast, I bring with them, nevertheless, the influence of a loyalty never doubted, and supported by the valour of an army always faithful to the banners of its Kings. We cannot lay down our arms until an honourable, and therefore durable, peace, has been secured. This we shall accsimplish by seeking unanimously the triumph of true right, and the just desires of each nation. I thank you for the good wishes you this day express for my future happiness, and for that of my kingdom. While you thus express yourselves with respect to the future, it gives me pleasure to speak of the present, and to congratulate you on the high position attained by Great Britain. This is to be attributed to the free and noble character of the nation, and also to the virtues of your Queen. The following remarks by our contemporary, the Morning herald, will sufficiently explain the reason why we were unable to procure a copy of the Cor poration address and the King of Sardinia's reply in time for our first edition of yesterday :--- "A person from the office of the Town Clerk, who had previously, as is customary on these occasions, in formed the gentlemen of the press that copies of the ad dress and reply would be given to them—brought to the reporters one copy of the address, with the manuscript of the King's speech. The latter was written in the King's hand, and, as is usually the case with such Royal documents, was exceedingly difficult to decipher. Fear ful of making some mistake, the gentlemen of the press Asked for the fair copies, which had been promised to them before the speech was made, when the individual we have before referred to said it "was a matter of great courtesy that we were allowed to look at the address at all. The corporation had given us tickets to enable us to report the proceedings, and we ought to havedoue so, and taken a note of the speech." This offensive and ridicu lous remark (for reporting a speech delivered rapidly in a foreign language was of course impossible) was fol lowed by others equally uncalled for, and the gentlemen of the press were on the point of leaving the ball when the higher officers of the corporation interfered, and after considerable lapse of time the kind intervention of the Lord Mayor, to whom our warmest thanks are due, eventually procured copies of the address and the reply of the King." DEPARTURE OF THE KING OF SARDINIA. His Majesty and suite, accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Alb er t, are expected to leave Windsor at 5.0 a.m. on Thursday morning, the 6th, arriving at the Bricklayers' Arms Station at 6.0 a.in.

St. 8.1, arrive at Folkestone Harbour at 8.10. The distance, 82 miles, will be performed in 2 hours 10 min. The directors of the South-Eastern Railway have issued the following instructions to be observed on the occasion : 1. An engine, to assist in case of need, and timed to run at the same rate of speed as the royal train, will follow the latter at a distance of one station in the rear. In the event of the royal special being five minutes in excess of the time allowed for the running between any two stations, the light engine following will be permitted to proceed after it with the greatest caution. 2. Platelayers, provided with the requisite sig nals, will be stationed at different parts on the line, particularly at level and occupation crossings, facing, and other points, to keep the line clear, and signal the train forward. 3. Bricklayers'Arms will telegraph the departure of the ropal special to all down stations ; so that in case it does not start to its fixed time, the respec tive station-masters may, by reference to its rate of speed, as shown in the above table, be enabled to ascertain when it will pass their station. 4. The royal train will be telegraphed from sta tion to s t a ti on i n th e or di nary manner , subject, however, to the special arrangements in that de partment which will be made on the occasion by the telegraph superintendent. 5. The following ordinary trains will give pre cedence to the royal special, viz. :—The 4.0 a.m. and 5.0 a.m. Down Dover and Reading goods trains (Nos. 5 and 6 in service -book) will not leave Bricklayers' Arms until after the royal special has passed New Cross (main line) station. 6. The guards appointed to work the Royal trains are Jones and Joy. THE LATE COLLISION ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. Yesterday Mr. Wakley, ccroner for Middlesex, as sisted by Mr. Brent, deputy•coroner, resumed at the Beaumont Arms, Shepherd's-bush, the investigation touching the death of John Moore, a breaksinan, aged 41, late in the service of the London and North Western Railway Company, who was killed in a collision which took place at the Harlesien-bridge junction of the Great Western Railway, under circumstances already briefly detailed. The inquiry caused considerable sensation, and a number of gentlemen attended on behalf of the two companies. Messrs. Parker and Hos,yes, solicitors, likewise watched the proceedings on. he part of the North-Western Company, and Mr. Herring appeared at the instance of the Great Western Company on behalf of Bennett, a policeman on the railway, whose conduct was seriously mixed up in the melancholy transaction. It appeared that at Harlesden-bridge the Great West ern rails are crossed on the level by the London and North-Western. On the morning of the collision the line of the Great Western was signalled as clear for the passage of a coal train along the London and North- Western across the metals of the Great Western Coca 113anY- At the time the signal was clear, the danger signals were put on to prevent any trains passing along the Great Western line until the coal train had gone across. These signals, it was stated, ought to have been seen by Bennett, who was stationed in the Acton cutting, so as to have enabled him to stop a goods train which came up at the time towards Paddington. Ben nett, however, according to the evidence of the engine drivers of the goods train, showed the white (or safety) instead of the " danger" signal, and when at last they caught sight of one of the danger signals it was too late. They could not stop the train in time to avoid a colli sion, and the two trains met at the crossing. The goods train was about five hours late, having been due at Pad dington at 1.10 a.m. In answer to the coroner, Mr. Herring said he did not intend to place his client under examination. The Coroner then remarked that the whole inquiry turned upon the conduct of three persons, viz., Ben nett, signal man, and Collins and Brown, the engine driven?. After some further discussion, the jury deli berated alone for half-an-hour, at the expiration of which period the Coroner stated that the jury had agreed to a further adjournment, in order that they might have the benefit of some practical disinterested gentleman's experience in the matter, and at the same time the jury hoped that before the next meeting the directors of the two companies would take the dangerous state of the Harlesden junction into their serious consideration.

The new mortar-raft arrived at Woolwich yesterday morning, from Shoeburyness, in a damaged state. The experiments intended to have been were not thoroughly completed. 104 rounds were, however, fired, which proved that the principle was good, but that Borne modi fications were required, and more substantial metal in the pontoons which float the raft and its weighty piece of ordnance, so as effectually to resist the force of the recoil without the probability of damage. Major-General Ashmore having, by his recent promo tion retired from the command of the Royal Marines, has left Woolwich. It was the desire of the officers unani mously to mark the high appreciation of their late Com mandant's merits on his departure from office, by enter taining him at a public dinner, but circumstances pre vented the General from accepting their proffered invita tion.

CLASPS FOR SEBASTOPOL. An important change has been made in the plan of distribution of the clasp added to the Crimean medal on the final success in the siege operations before Sebasto pol. It is notified as follows : " Head-quarters, Sebastopol, Nov. 18, 1855. "With reference to General Order No. 1, of the 13th October, it is notified that the clasp for Sebastopol is to be granted to all who have been present with the army between the Ist of October, 1854 —the day on which the army sat down before the town—and the 9th of Septem ber, 1855, the day on which the town was taken. Sup plementary nominal lists of the officers and men entitled to receive it will therefore be immediately prepared in duplicate and forwarded to the chief of the staff, on or before the sth of December, for transmission to Eng land." The arrangement published in the General Order al luded to was that the clasp should be conferred on those officers and soldiers only " who were serving in the Crimea on the Bth of September, 1855." OPERATIONS IN THE SEA OF AZOFF. The following successful operation has been announced to the troops : "Head-quarters, Sebastopol, Nov. 19. . . "The Commander of Forces has great pleasure in informing the army, that the flotilla of gun-boats in the Sea of Azoff has succeeded in destroying six rows of corn stacks, two miles long, near Gheisk, on that sea. The enemy had collected this store to take across the ice in the winter. The defence of them was attempted by about 3,000 Russian troops, which, however, were kept at a distance by the gun-boats, whilst the exertions of the Royal navy, with rockets and c arcases , d es t roye d the ricks by fire."

In war moral influences are even more impote%" 4 .4. taut than than material. A beaten army, though its numbers may only have been diminished by a fifteenth or twentieth part, cannot properly be re presented as the army before the defeat minus those who have perished in action. It is another and a different army ; it has lost its identity, it is terri fied at dangers which it would have despised, and cowed out of the confidence which it once felt iu its own bravery and discipline. On the other hand, a victorious army is twice itself ; its difficulties, its dangers, its despondencies are forgotten, and it goes forward in the confidence that its past suc cesses are only the preludes to future triumphs. These are not merely abstract truths, but are the principles on which every great General in ancient or modern times has avowedly acted, It was not Ciesar alone who delighted to urge on his success and press upon the favour of Fortune • the same was the maxim of Hannibal and Napo pol eon, of Marlborough and of Wel:ngton. When the allies threw themselves on the shores of the Crimea they undertook a difficult and dangerous enterprise, but ono which, if success ful, must have the greatest material and moral efft ots. They attacked a fortress which they &Arid not invest, and by so doing challenged the whole force of the empire of Russia to meet them in nar row lists behind enormous fortifications, and to avert, if they could, the destruction of the strong hold Russia had built for the subjugation of the East. But in proportion to the magnitude of the enterprise was sure to be the moral effect of its suc cessful termination. The success of the Bth of Sep tember was something better than a surprise ; it was a victory gained in despite of all the power that an empire boasting a million of men under arms could put forth to prevent it. It was a clear proof of superior strength—it was an undeniable demonstration of the ascendancy of the allies. Let even the least imaginative of our rea d ers compare the feelings of th Russian troops as, by the light of their blazing town and to the sound of their exploding forts and magazines, they crossed over a precarious bridge which a single chance shell might at any moment have cleft asunder, leaving behind them their wounded, six thousand cannon, enormous stores of ammunition and provi sions, their splendid arsenal, their beautiful dock', the city which so many of the best and bravest of their comrades had died to defend, and, above all, the great name and world-wide reputation of Rus sia ;—let any one, we say, compare the feelings of these men with those of the allies, placed, by a success at the rapidity and decisiveness of which they themselves were astounded, in possession of:a prize so long sought and so dearly earned ; and let him then judge whether the relative force of he two armies could fairly be computed by their respective numbers, or whether the victorious had not gained a moral superiority over the van quished which no arithmetical statement could adequately represent. Who was there who did not expect, as soon as the news of that mighty overthrow reached him, that the glorious opportunity would be seized to follow up this blow by another, and efface present success in the brightness of future exploits ? . Never was there a more commanding situation. The allied armies were flushed with victory, in high health, and pos• sessed, in their enormous fleet now set at liberty, the means of moving with speed and secrecy to any part of the coast which they might think proper to occupy. Kaffa and Arabat seemed only to await the advent of the conqueror, and the communica tion from Simpheropol to Perekop seemed open to their attack in its whole extent. Opp Alunity called them trumpet-tongued to action. The very seasons fought for them, and two months and a half of the calmest and most beautiful weather that can be imagined invited them to commence and complete a new and glorious campaign before the 'coming of winter. They had just achieved a victory at which the world stood amazed, and in comparison with which everything else seemed easy of accomplish ment. What has been done with this splendid army and this glorious situation—these elements of triumph, these materials of almost certain success ? Let us see. Omer Pasha has been sent to Asia to rouse Christian populations against Christian Russia, without a single brigade of the allied troops to bear him company, and counteract the prejudice of the inhabitants against the Turks. Yet, even so, his sdccess has been far greater than anything achieved by the allies. Kinbourn has been taken, but no attempt has been made to ad vance from the basis of operations thus obtained upon Cherson or Nicolaieff. From Eupatoria, a place fortified with so much care and cost as if for the express purpose of throwing ourselves upon the communications of the Russian army, the opera tions of the allies have been ludicrously ineffective and inadequate. After one sharp cavalry action, in which just enough was done to show how much more was possible, the allies have contented them selves with advancing towards the Russian posi tion three or four times, and then returning by the way they came without honour and without loss. Equally energetic has been the conduct of the main army. It has walked into defiles and fastnesses only to walk out of them again, and after a series of objectless manoeuvres finds itself, after a wilful waste of ten invaluable weeks, just where it was when the Malakhoff fell into its power. The Russian communications are not interrupted, and they are left, by a force of 200,000 men and a fleet of unexampled strength, to make their preparations as best they may against the coming of the winter—the only enemy they have to dread, and the rigours of which are happily net under our control. Meanwhile our fleet is coming home; our marines—a force fully equal to any we possess—are being landed in England ; the Imperial Guard has returned to France , Malta, Scutari, and Pera are looking forward to a winter enlivened by the presence of many a Crimean hero ; and our cavalry, having done nothing at the camp, are about to repeat the same process in the suburbs of Constantinople. Road-making and hut-building have been the occupation of the vic tors during the best season of the year, and the sterner pursuits of war are agreeably relieved by theatricals and steeplechases. Except for the enormous cost—except for the great anxiety, for the risk of disease, and the possibility of calamities like the great explosion of the 15th of November, this mighty land and naval armament, adequate in competent hands for the conquest of the world might as well have been anywhere since the Bth of September as in the dominions of our obstinate and vigilant adversary. We talk at home of " the vigorous prosecution of the war," and here every body is in earnest, but since the Bth of September that great business seems to have stood entirely still. Who is to blame for this miserable and ludicrous and fifth act to the greatglorious tragely, the first act of whi c h was til the third th e repu l se omfa,tht e he I se B c t o h nd f I j il ke r m t a h n e , fourth the battle of the Tch er naya, and thuense(orm ing of the Malakhoff ? There is no difficulty in answering the question. We have never been slow to censure the English commanders ; but with the English commanders, in this instance, the blame does not rest. The recall of General Simpson followed so immediately after the Bth of September that it necessarily paralysed all exertion on his part, and General Codringtou has been so short a time in command that it were utterly unreasonable to censure his inactio n n o . such Marshal Polissi er was encumbered by hindrances. The telegraphic wire that brought to Paris the news of the fall of Sebas topol to him for answ er the baton o f a 1, bore back larshallle posse ssed the confidence of his Government a . nd of his ar my, men, materiel, boundless resources and opportunities, and from the Bth t o the present day he has done of September no thing. Was the season too nothing_absolutely the 2d of December, exactly yfar fifty years ago, a d v anced ? On Napoleon, with an army , which he had marched from Boulogne to Australitz, fought and won a great battle, a portion of the conflict actually tak ing place on th e • In how many of Were his forces inadequate ? y of the groat battles of the world has one-half the force at the disposal of the Allies in the Crimea ever been brought into action ? Did he dread an Russiansfrom the ? On the lfith of attack August a few thousand men defeated on the Tchernaya with ease the attempt of five times their number to force his lines. Then they had Sebastopol to fight for ; now they could hope nothing beyond a barren and most improbable victory. W e have waited till the last moment in hopes that something would be done. There is hardly any enterprise in which the French General had not a fair chance of success, or in which, had he failed, we s hould have ven tured to blame him ; but to attempt nothing at all—to waste two months and a-half of valuable time in utter inaction —to give the enemy time t o recover and the enthu siasm of his own troo p s to evapora t e —t o stand on th e defensive when a thou sand means of offensive warfare were open to him —t o pl a y a losing g ame when a winni ng One was in his hands, are f aults so grave that we ean n o longer n g e keep silence , or p retend to ac quiesce in the pro priety of a lino of conduct Bo fatal to our troops and so inglorious to our arms. DISCOVERY OF THE BODY OF A CHILD.--Yesterday morning considerable sensation was created at No. SO, Dudley-street, St. Giles's, in consequence of the dis covery of the dead body of a child in a deal box on the landing. The legs and jaws were tied tightly up, and little doubt is entertained but that the poor infant tuft with an untimely end.
