Tql6 DA —Mominp 32 rn;n.aftar 5 1 EvPning 53 min. aft. 5 fultvow Morning 15 min. after 6 Eveniug3B miu. aft. 6 Which every true-hearted Englishman owes tc his country to contest the arguments of person: bo :onging to this class, and to show on what sleider foundations their gloomy vaticinations really rest. One of the points on which they expatiate is 'the siege of Sebastopol, and they invariably pro phecy that it can never be taken, that the Fussian flag will continue to float on its walls, n.twith standing all the efforts and unflinching braiery of the Allied Forces. They speak of all tlat has already been achieved as so much time, labour, and men wasted, and hint that, if we cculd even gain the south of Sebastopol, the north vould still resist all our attacks, and that the Russian Power would not be materially, if at all, diminished. This is a very grave error, and it is right that every misapprehension on the subject should be completely removed, and a correct and accurate understanding arrived at on the subject. As a morning con temporaryhas justly remarked, the Malakhoff Tower may, to all intents and pur poses, be regarded as Sebastopol. It is the key to the whole position, and when that has passed into the possession of the Allies, the town itself, and the vessels in the harbour, must speedily follow. The Russians are fully aware of its value ; they know that whenever it falls further resistance will be fruitless, that they may forthwith capitulate as to the remainder of their possessions. Hitherto they have fought well, but they have re ceived ample supplies, and constantreinforcements from the north, which has not up to this time been invested. The besieged have hitherto avoided " famine," the most dreaded assailant of a be leaguered garrison. They have been well and fully fed, and could therefore devote all their energies to the construction of new defences, and repelling the attacks of the enemy. While they held the Malakhoff they were not commanded from any point, and with the extraordinary energy displayed from the commencement of the contest they placed many preliminary difficulties in the way of their great defence. These difficulties have been conquered—these impediments swept away. The great success was that of the 22d and 23d of May, wherewith Gene ral PELISSIER inaugurated his command. . It was the good beginning which has justly been con sidered " half the battle." It was the introduc tion of the sharp end of the wedge which left no possible doubt of the ultimate result. The next step was soon taken. The " Mamelon vert" was attacked and captured ! Another important stage was thus passed, and the Malakhoff itself was then directly threatened. Every one knows of the attempt made, and the temporary failure, on the 18th June. But although for the moment the Allies made no fur ther progress, they still lost no ground—not a single position they had once achieved was won back. They have since advanced gradually but steadily. The "Brancion redoubt," as the Ma melon has been denominated since its capture, threatens the Malakhoff, and frowns over the valley of the Tchernaya. From that powerful position the French workmen are pressing forward their zig-zags, and doubtless before long we shall hear of the result of their daring labours, in the capture of " the key of Sebastopol," which commands the Redan, the harbour, and the south side. After which the north can easily be dealt with, and the defenders of the detached forts, if they should ever be capable of fesisting the combined attack by land and water, must speedily succumb under the pri vations that will be keenly felt when the sources of supply are all cut off. We thus see the pros pects of success that attend the Allied Arms, and may refute all the dreary prophecies of the croakers who strive to frighten feeble-minded men and timid women with tales of Russian proivess and invincibility. The Limited Liabilities Bill last night received its third reading, and, so far as the House of Commons is concerned, is virtually carried. Its trial now is before the Peers. We cannot, how ever, suppose that there is any real danger, or that their Lordships would desire to impede a measure which the great body of the people most urgently demand. It is, after all, but a mere instalment of justice. The " Partnership" Bill has been surrendered for this session, as a sop to the malcontents who resist "free trade" in money, and still desire ,to retain onerous restrictions on the trade and commerce of the country. The resolution of their lordships' re specting bills not ready for a second reading last week was very judicious as a general rule, but there are exceptions to all such rules, and the Limited Liability Bill is, most assuredly, one of the greatest exigency that can, by any possibility, be brought under their Lordships' notice. It is one that will supply a stimulus to legitimate enter prise ; and, by developing the national resources enable the people to bear more easily the extra burdens occasioned by the War. It is difficult to understand the arguments that have been put forward by interested parties against this great commercial boon, or how it can be supposed that any protection is required to the general public against the fraudulent schemes of designing persons. It is a portion of the trick to speak largely of fraud, as if persons who gave credit to thg new class of dealers must necessarilybe plun dered of their property unless they can prevent the party from obtaining money on reasonable terms, and compel him to pay usurious interest for the monetary accommodation he may require, and raise up additional claimants on the dividend that may be payable in the event of bankruptcy. What is the nature or extent of the " fraud" that will be thereby occasioned ? A person who has money to spare may, if he think proper, advance it, on terms varying according to the benefits obtained by the party, in place of lending it, at a fixed and exorbitant rate of interest. He sees an industrious man, of un blemished reputation, who thoroughly under• stands his business. Ho sees that the party, if he can overcome the difficulties occasioned by the want of capital, must realise handsome profits. lie has what the other re quires, and will render his success almost certain. In such a case he is willing to risk a certain sum, tens, hundreds, or thousands of pounds, and to reader his repayment contingent on the realisation of bona fide profits. Who does ho or can he in jure by such a course ? Not the borrower. He obtains the anxiously looked for monetary facilities on easy conditions. If he make large pro fits he can afford to give a portion to the man who has enabled him to earn thew, and if be fails he has no heavy interest to meet, nor can his person or goods be attached for that which has practically proved unproductive. Not the creditor, who supplied goods without re ceiving prompt payment, he will be the person most benefitted by the change. For in place of his goods being abstracted to satisfy the exorbitant demands of some concealed money-lender, who has already been more than repaid his original advance, with heavy interest, he will only find creditors in the same cate gory as himself, who will receive all the assets for their own use. If he has no hold upon any concealed party to make him unfairly liable, ho will not lose any portion of that to which he is justly entitled by the claims of persons also be hind the screen. The individual, or firm, giving credit will before doing so, naturally make all necessary inquiries. He will take into his consideration all the facts, and see how far he is warranted in going. The greater the monetary resources of the debtor the greater his chances of repayment, and the better his position in the event of a stoppage. The man who has privately advanced money must not only forego all profit in the shape of interest or dividend thereon, but he must also lose his entire principal before he can be called on to abate a portion of his just demands. He is, therefore, in the best possible position, and may bless, rather than complain of, the judicious en actments that proved so b.2.neficial.

FOR THE THIRD OR LATEST EDITION. In consequence of the abolition of the Stamp Duty on Newspapers the public in all large cities and towns to which parcels are forwarded by the News-Agents, The Sun, which formerly cost Fivepence-half penny for the Latest Edition, containing Parliamentary Debates of the same even ing, together with the List of Army and Navy Promotions in the London Gazette, with Official Despatches from the Seat of War, the Latest Sporting, and all other Commercial News, List of Bankrupts, &c., &c., can now be had for Fourpence, being a saving of nearly one-third. Hitherto the price of the paper was nomi nally Fivepence, but all Late Editions posted after six o'clock were charged a fee of One Halfpenny by the Post-office, which made the price to the Subscriber Fivepence-Halfpenny. This charge must still be made to those in remote places, unless the Postmaster-General hive the magnanimity to forego such a paltry source of revenue. Sun-office, 112, Strand, London, 9th July, 1855. 4 erg, (tge , • -or - Ti) LONDON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 3, 1855 Tore are many persons who, while claiming credit for strict impartiality, and professing to take very enlarged views respecting the Eastein diffierulty, are accustomed to magnify the resources of Russia, and to put forward sinister forebodings as to the results of the War. These men may be easily• distinguished from the Peace party. They are riot really friendly to Russia, or desirous of impairing the honour or security of their country. They are simply " croakers "—men who habi tually regard every passing event through a dis torted medium, and rejoice in being prophets of evil--who can, in the event of any unforeseen disasters, utter the odious " I told you so ;" and take credit for extraordinary wisdom in having anticipated the calamities which have come to pass. These "croakers " do not mean mischief--but they do it. The incessant grumbling at every thing, and every person with whom they 'may be brought in contact, has become an irresistible optalsiseirosn.their They ey cannot abstain f rom inflicting on own gloomy impressions, ante seem to feel intense satisfaction in snaking their i . riends miserable, in the thought that the glory and pros perity of Engl and have for ever vanished. If ocom pelled to decii le the questi on , th ey would pro to for carrying on the war, but co u pl e i t with lundry r e " Jeremiads r ' as to ourselves th e misfortunes and n/. chi w e weren They d thereby may eby antsilingon possibly think so, more prob a bl y they do not.

It is adu ty .capitalist wishes to protect him by rendering him liable in purse and person, not only to his last shilling and la.t acre, but even with his liberty, for the success of the man he has trusted. This is, indeed, strange protection. Well may he " Save me from such friends," and leave me to deal for myself, to "do as I will with my own without let or hindrance." Mr. Commissioner FANS, who has done much to instruct the public on this interesting and important subject, has just published a very timely brochure, in which the subject is treated with that clearness and lucidity for which the learned Commissioner is so remarkable, and in which every fair objection is fully ccnsi dered and completely removed. We earnestly commend this little production to public notice. It will amply repay perusal. The remarks of Lord REDESDALE, in the House of Lords last evening, in relation to the Public Offices, seem to us well worthy of attention. That great inconvenience and detriment to the public service is occasioned by the dispersion of the public offices will not admit of question. In the very nature of things it could not be other wise. One branch of the public service cannot be conducted without communication with others, and the less perfect such communication is the more difficult it must be to secure that co-opera tion and that subordination to a governing head essential to good administration. The evil, then, being admitted and deprecated on all hands, the question naturally arises—What is the best mode of remedying it ? This, of course, must be the adoption of a plan which combines most perfectly the two elements of efficiency and cheapness ; in other words, which ensures a thorough cure at no more than the ne cessary cost; and all experience goes to prove that doing things piecemeal does not answer this description, but involves illimitable expenditure without the ultimate attainment of the object sought for. This was not less forcibly than cor rectly put by the Marquis of LANSDOWNE in his reference to private houses. The Noble Lord, however, need not have gone beyond the public offices for an illustration. The piecemeal mode has hitherto been adopted in dealing with them, and with what result it is not necessary for us to repeat. It is to be hoped, therefore, that Government, when about it, will originate a carefully-considered scheme which will render future alterations, unless of a minor description, unnecessary. To the formation of such a scheme the purchase of the fee-simple of the plot of ground between Down ing-street and George-street will by many be deemed necessary. It will ensure ample space for what is required, and an uninterrupted frontage from the Treasury to the Houses of Parliament, and it does not involve the necessity of an immediate large expenditure in building operations, while it must not be forgotten that the ground will ulti mately be required, and that it may be purchased now at a vastly lower rate than it will command in future. On the other hand, the purchase of the ground, and the erection of the required buildings by private parties, to be rented by Go vernment, and ultimately to fall into the posses sion of the Crown, is a plan sufficiently feasible to deserve attention. Whatever scheme, however, may hereafter be recommended, the public have a right to expect that nothing short of the necessity of the case, nor ihvolving useless or extravagant expenditure, shall be adopted.

The late earl is succeeded in his title and estates by his eldest son, Lord Molyneux. The deceased noble man was lord-lieutenant of Lancashire, which office is now vacant. SOUTHAMPTON, August 2. —His Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by Captain Du Plat, landed at the Southampton Dock from the Royal yacht Fairy, at s few minutes past three o'clock this afternoon. The Prince was received on landing by Mr, Hedger (dock superintendent); Mr. Reed was likewise present. The Royal carriage was in waiting, into which his Royal Highness stepped, after acknowledging the courtesies of those who were assembled to greet him. Under the direction of Mr. Watkins, of the railway station, the train was conducted from the (locks into the terminus, and was quickly on its way to London. There is a rumour current of a duel having been fought in Belgium, between Count de Morny, President of the Corps Legislatif, and the exiled General Changarnier. The quarrel arose out of a statement made by Dr. Veron, in his "Memoirs of a Bourgeois de Paris," to the effect that General Changarnier had discussed, with Count de Morny and M. Thiers, the propriety of a forcible disso lution of the Legislative Assembly and the establishment of a military dictatorship. On an appeal by the author to Count de Morny, the latter confirmed the truth of the statement, on which General Changarnier published a letter, giving the flattest contradiction to both one and the other. Count de Morny is said to be wounded in the arm. FIRE AND Loss OF Two LIVES AT ST, PANCRAS.— This morning, shortly before two o'clock, a dreadful fire occurred at the Coalheavers' Arms beer-shop, St. Pan cras-road, near the old church. With as little delay as possible the parochial engine was taken to the spot, but unfortunately no person with it to fix the pipes, until two of the Royal Society escape-men, named Robinson and Wheatley, undertook its management, by which time nearly all the contents of the building were one burning mass. The H o lb orn an d Farringdon-street engines were afterwards brought into operation, and thus saved the adjoining houses. Two femaks were left in the ruins, an elderly woman and a young girl. How the fire originated could not he ascertained, or whether any insurance had been effected. The beer-house, with its stock, furniture, &e., were completely destroyed. The project of Mr. Thomas Wilson, for a canal from the Black Sea to the Danube, is stated to have received the support of all the Powers interested, and to promise an early realisation. Mr. Wilson, after having at his own expense caused an accurate survey to be made, is associated in the undertaking with Count de Morny, in Paris, and Count Breda, in Vienna, and is now, it is said, endeavouring, by the combined influence of the Ambassadors of France, England, and Austria to obtain a, finnan from the Sultan. The canal, which would be little mire than 30 miles in length, will save 258 miles of tedious and dangerous navigation, besides freeitig the Danube from Russian influence and giving extraordinary facilities for the rich grain trade and general commerce of Austria, Servia, Wallachia„ and Bulgaria. The points to be connected are the Bay of Kostendje, on the Black Sea, and Rassova, on the Danube. 1.4 ±:L ESL' EIWS. MADRID, AuG. 1.

The Emperor and the Empress (says the Comb tutionnel) are not to return to Biarritz this year ; the Emperor having ordered works to be executed in the villa Eugenie, which will render it unin habitable. Prince Napoleon yesterday continued his visits in detail to the Exhibition, his examination being principally confined to that part connected with forest productions. _ _ TheMoniteur continues to publish the list of mayors and deputy-mayors of towns and com munes, appointed by Imperial decree in execu tion of the law of May 5, 1855. The Simois steam-packet left Marseilles on the 31st ult. for Constantinople, having on board 410 men belonging to different regiments. The Courriere de l'Eure states that the Russian prisoners who have been residing at Evreux for' the last twelve mouths have received official notice that they were free. General Bodisco, his wife, and children, and his two aides-de-camp were pre paring to leave for Paris ' whence they would pro ceed to Russia. General Bodisco, wishing before he quitted Evreux to express his gratitude to the inhabitants for the kind manner iu which he has been treated, addressed the following letter to the editor of the above journal : " Monsieur le Redacteur,—.The Government of his Majesty the Emperor Napoleon has just g,nerJusly restored me and my officers to liberty, and from this moment we may return to Russia. I shall never forget with what delicate attention your countrymen have alleviated the weariness of our captivity ; nothing has been wanting which could contribute to make us love your good town. We have lived here, if not hap pily, for no one can be happy so far from one's own country, at least peaceably and tranquilly; and it has been a great alleviation of our inisfortum, to be able thus to judge for ourselves of what there is noble and elevated in the French character. We shall always, my two captains and myself, call to mind with what kind affability we have been treated, and the name of Evreux will be always remembered by us wherever we may be, and whatever may become of us. Allow me, through your journal, to address to your fellow-citizens our thanks and our adieux, and for yourself, Monsieur le Redacteur, with whom my rela tions have always been of the most friendly kind, accept my cordial and sincere salutations, Once more, adieu, and thanks to the excellent inhabitants of Evreux,. " JACQUES DE BODISCO." The Semaphore of Marseilles contains a letter from Pera which states that the late fire in that place in the immediate neighbourhood of the French artillery yard, where several millions worth of ammunition and stores were collected, is sup posed to have been the work of an incendiary. The French soldiers on duty there had frequently seen a man loitering about the place, who has not been seen since the fire, and the strictest search has not yet led to his discovery.

A letter from Balaklava of the 18th ult., in the Journal de Constantinople, states that considerable preparations were being made there for the reception of the Duke of Newcastle, who was shortly expected, but it was not known whether his Grace would ac cept the military honours intended to be paid him, as he is no longer in office, and is rather visiting the Crimea as a private individual. The letter states that several tourists had recently visited Balaklava, but in consequence of having neglected to provide themselves with a permission to land, they have been obliged to leave without doing so. Mr. Calvert, the chief interpreter attached to the staff of General Simpson, had just died after a short illness. Dr. Gavin, the brother of the gen tleman who so unfortunately killed himself some months ago with one of his brother's pistols, has also died from the grief caused by that accident. TURKEY. A telegraphic despatch from Trieste, in the Journal des Debats, dated the Ist inst., says : " Adviees from Constantinople, of the 23d of July, announce that Scharnyl, having made a diversion in Georgia which has brought him near to Tiflis; General Mouraveiff has been compelled to abandon his projected attack upon Kars, and to retrace his steps. " Despatches from Trebizond, of the 20th of July, say that the Russians have limited their operations to the appointment of Governors in the different villages they occupy in the province of Kars. " Ten cannon of large calibre had been sent from Trebizond to Erzeroum for the use of the garrison there; 15,000 of the inhabitants had been armed to assist in the defence of the place. _ _ " The communications between Kars and Erzeroum had b-en re-established. " Reinforcements were daily leaving Constantinople for Kars." At the reception given at Constantinople by M. Thouvenel, the new French ambassador, to the principal French residents in that capital, that diplomatist, in reply to the congratulations offered to him by M. Violet, in the name of the commer cial community, said : " I thank you for the kind expressions which you have just used towards me in tho name of the French residents. I see in the eagerness evinced to-day by my fellow-countrymen to pay their respects to the repre sentative of the Emperor, a proof of their sentiments of fidelity and gratitude towards the Sovereign, reserved by Divine Providence to assure the safety, the glory, and the prolierity of our country. Nowhere better than at Constantinople can be appreciated the generous policy which has restored to France her rank in the world, and founded on an imperishable basis her future relations with the Ottoman empire. This state of things, gentlemen, imposes duties on all French men which, I doubt not, you will comprehend. I am fully aware of those which fall to my share, and will perform thorn. You will always find in me a devoted protector of our legitimate interests. Your good sense, your patriotism, and your attitude with regard to the Ottoman authorities, will render my task easy, and I hope that from the commencement mutual esteem and confidence will preside over the re lations of the embassy and of the nation. I heartily unite in the well-merited homage which you have ren dered to my honourable predecessor, and my be , t wishes like yours will accompany him in the career which the kindness of the Emperor and his excellent services mark out for him." RUSSIA. A telegraphic despatch, received at Berlin, dated St. Petersburg, August 2, says : " Prince Gortschakoff, under date of 30th of July, 10 p.m.. says : " 'Nothing of importance has occurred before Sebas topol. The enemy continues a partial cannonade. We reply vigorously.' " The Vienna Fremden Blatt, of the Ist inst., an nounces that General Luders has transferred his head-quarters to Odessa. In addition to the Order of St. Alexandre- Newsky, conferred by the Emperor Alexander on his negotiator, Prince Gortschakoff, his Imperial Majesty has just appointed Mlles. Sophie and Olga Gortschakoff maids of honour to the Empress. A letter from St. Petersburg, in the Hamburg News, states that the number of officers who are brought before the courts-martial, and condemned to various punishments, is daily increasing. Some of the sentences are very severe. A Captain Mar tynon, of the 3d battalion of Orenburg, for instance, has been deprived of his nobility and rank in the army, and condemned to remain a simple soldier, for embezzlement of military funds. A similar sentence has been pronounced against Captain Hamasoff of the staff, for insubordination when in a state of drunkenness. Detachments of troops are constantly leaving Poland for Bessarabia. A magnificent park of artillery, to be sent to Sebas topol, has been formed in Volhynia. Poland, ac cording to this account, has very few troops now, as those which leave are not replaced by others. AUSTRIA. In consequence of the reduction of the Austrian army, the Austrian Government has ordered the sale of all cavalry horses which exceed the number of the actual effective force decided upon. SPAIN. The Madrid papers of the 28th ult. have come to hand.
