POLAND AS AN INDEPENDENT STATE. PUBLIC MEETING. ( From the Manchester Guardian of Wednesday.) On Monday evening, a public meeting was held in the Town Hall, "to consider the importance of the king dom of Poland as an iudependerit state in her relations to Europe." The large room was crowded with a very respectable audience ; amongst those upon the platform being the R e v. Dr. Vaughan. Messrs. J. A. Turner, Absalom Watkins, William Martin, N. F. Zaba (on be ha'f of •the Society of the Friends of Poand), Joseph Adshead, J. R, Cooper, S. I. Samson, Isatrc Gregory, Dr. Hudson, Hugh Warburton, Mr. WILLIAM MARTIN (of Altrincham) took the chair, on the motion of the Rev. Dr. Vaughau. He said that if he could have known five minutes before that he would have been called upon to occupy such a position, he should not have been present at all ; and he had only consented to assume it, on the assurance that he would not be required to express any opinion of his own, but simply to keep order. With the permission of the meeting, he would assume it to be their wish that any person who wished to speak in opposition should be heard with patience, after the speakers who had posses sion of the tneetinrY should have concluded ; but until then any attempts to interrupt the meeti,g should be put down (Applause ) The chairman real a letter from the town-clerk, stating that Mr. Alderman Barnes (who had promised to take the chair) was indisposed and confined to bed ; and expressing Mr. Barnes's re gret that he would, therefore, be unable to be present. Mr JAMES ASPINALL TURNER proposed the first re solution "That this meeting would express its high admiration of the patriotism and courage which have so long characterised the Polish nation, would avow its sincere sympathy with that noble people under their many and protracted wrongs ; and should the issue of the present war be favourable to the res toration of Poland to her ancient rank as an independent king dom, would press it earnestly on the Cabinets of the Allies to use every means in their power toward the accomplishment of that end." He said that his heart was sincerely with Mr. Z:lba and the friends he represented on the present occasion. It was his disposition to express sympathy and to feel kind- ness for any private individual who was suffering from distress and injustice ; and he was sure that an audience such as he saw before him entertained most cordially the same feelings. But when, instead of an individual, it was a large people, who not only now, but for many years past, had been suffering great injustice and wrong, the people of Manchester, whenever they had an oppor tunity of meeting and expressing sympathy, would not fail to do so. The "wrongs of Poland" had become almost, proverbial. It was not for him to say exactly what ought to have been done when Austria, Prussia, and Russia were committing the grievous wrong of pal: titioning Poland. Perhaps it would have been well had we made the stand at that time—(applause)—which we had now been also compelled to make. Russia broke down the barrier of Poland, became she cast a wistful eye on Prussia, Austria, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, in order that she might reach the Atlantic Ocean ; and those countries, since the barrier was broken down, had been trembling lest the barbarian troops of Russia should make their way in that direction. A stand against the partition of Poland might at the time have involved all Europe in war ; but the history of Europe would have been very different if it bad been made. None of them perhaps could conjecture what would be the course of events in consequence of that re markable event which had taken Europe by surprise. The tyrant of Russia had been called to his long account, and he was afraid it would be a very black one. (Ap plause.) They would not comment upon the deal, but they would hope that his successor might have a more peaceable and moderate disposition. But if the Czar Alexander fulfilled the expectations generally entertained of him, God grant that he would be able to put down the fanatical spirit of which his younger brother Con stantine was the representative. They all earnestly desired peace, for they had suffered from the war, and should still suffer mere ; but he hoped that in a just cause they would bravely and nobly endure this suffer ing—(loud applause)—but if the negotiations should take a tarn to enable peace to be made, so that in the final settlement it could be arranged to restore Poland to her ancient rank, every man present, he was pure, would rejoice to see her the barrier for the west against the encroachments of the eastern barbarians. (Ap plause.) Mr. ABSALOII WATKINS, who was received with ap plause, seconded the resolution. The Russian autocrat, he said, was dead, and he hoped there was nothing im- pious or improper in asserting his belief that the prayers of the widows and orphans from 10,000 homes,-who had been male such by his ruthless ambition, had been heard and answered from Heaven. (Hear, hear, and a few hisses.) He could not understand how any Englishman, recollecting the sufferings of eur soldiers in the Crimea, cou'd do otherwise than rejoice at the death of the wan who was the great oLlstaele to peace. (Applause.) Ile (11.1 Wat'dirsirktii* - n tFiing or 0..14 conventional . feirni which, in the Upper Home of Par lament, induce.' noble lord to move that, all considerations relating to the war should be adjourned. He did not helieve that the policy of flus=ia had died with the Emperor Nicholas. (Hear, hear.) He believed that the duty of that noble lord was to have moved the carrying on of the war with vigour until we had conquered peace. (Hear, hear.) He did not believe that we should ever have a peace that weu'd be worth having--a hollow peace we might have, and one that suited the convenience of our enemy —until we had thoroughly humbled the pride and power of our despotc adversary. (Hear, hear.) In the pur suit of that end we must not forget the restoration of Poland to her right of independence. (Hear.) The in justice which was perpetrated in that csuntry 60 or 80 years ao still rankled in the minds of her brave sons, who longed for the restoration of their nationality, and the relief of the wrongs under which they groaned. No greater barrier against the power of Rus,ia eould exist than the reconstitution of the Polish na tion. The Poles were brave and ready to fight, but they were compelled to fight in the ranks of our adversary— unwilling subjects, unwilling soldiers. Bat they had re cei7ed no encouragement from the allies. He was sure the Poles would not lack our sympathy, and hoped the period would soon arrive when the successes of the allied forces would render it not only proper, but expedient, and also an easy act., to accomplish the restoration of Poland. (Applause.) The resolution passed unanimously and with applause. The Rev. Dr. VAUGEf AN, who was warmly applauded, moved the adoption of the following petition : To the Lords Spiritual and Temporal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled The Petition of the Inhabitants of the City of Manchester, Your petitioners humbly represent to your right honourable house that Russia is proved, by the experience of the past year, to have prepared vast naval armaments and strongholds, both in the Black Sea and the Baltic, which are incompatible with the safety and independence of neighbouring states, and which afford evidence of aggressive and menacing designs, dangerous not only to the present but to the future tran quillity of Europe. That the territory acquired by Russia from adjacent countries since 1772 is greater in extent and importance than the whole empire she possessed in Europe before that period ; and that every portion of her vast acqui sitions from Poland, Sweden, Turkey, and Persia have been obtained in opposition to the interests of Great Britain. That by seizing on the principal part of ancient Poland, Russia has acquired immense resources in a military point of view ; the fertile plains on which are grown almost all the corn that she exports to western Europe ; a numerous and warlike popula tion ; and a position protected by rivers, morasses, and for tresses of the first class; situated in the centre of Europe, and giving her a pieponderating influence over the courts of Ger many, of Sweden, and of Turkey; and that, in the belief of all competent authorities, no treaties of peace can insure the permanent tranquillity of Europe, unless the Polish nation be re-established in complete independence of Russian control. Tour Petitioners humbly submit to your right honourable house that upwards of 100,000 Polish soldiers, forming a very largo part of the Russian armies, by whose handi' so many of her Majesty's most gallant subjects have fallen; are serving in the ranks of our enemies by compulsion. That the forcible abduction from their homes of all the youths of Po land, and their expatriation for military service in distant parts of the Russian empire, for the period of twenty-five years, a service from which few ever return, is one of the nu merous glieVances which redder the Russian Government in Poland odious and intolerable to every Polish family; and that the adoption by the Western Powers of a policy which should promise the Poles a liberation from this liahi lity would paralyse the armies of Russia.

There fore, we humbly entreat your right hon. house to ,present an address to her Majesty, praying that the war, having been undertaken in the cause of justice against oppression, as much favour may be shown towards Poland as towards Turkey, and this the more especially as we have a clear right, by the treaty of Vienna, to protect the Polish nation.—And your petitioners will ever pray, &c. Dr. Vaughan explained that M. Zaba was present, on behalf of the "Associated Friends of Poland," in London. Over that association the late Lord, Dudley Stuart pre sided for many years, and his place was now supplied by Lord Harrowby. The association included, besides Lord Shaftesbury, many persons distinguished by the nobleness of their sympathies with the cause of religious and civil liberty upon the continent of Europe. When he (Dr. Vaughan) consented to ti,ke part in that meet ing, he did not anticipate that his name would have been put so prominently before the public of Manchester ; but he was not the man to shrink from the discharge of what appeared to him to be a duty on account of little irregu larities. We were all of us now placed in circumstances in which we felt, if we were to be a great people, that union must be our strength. The wrongs of Poland were a matter about which there could scarcely be a division of judgment, and they had met to s.sy that, should the issue of the present struggle allow of it, the future set tlement of Europe should include the restoration of Po land to its ancient independence. Since entering the room he had been asked, in writing, to give his opinion about the justice or injustice of the war. He had no objection upon earth to say what he thought. (Loud appliwee.) Certainly, if the was Rolf were not just, it - - hardly became us to be talking about justice to Poland. (Hear, hear.) They were supposed to be satisfied that the war itself was just, and they hoped to take into the sphere, over which it would extend the element of jus: tfee, protably Poland as well as Turkey, (flear, hear.) He should be sorry to have any hesitancy in stating in Manchestf r, or any place or presence, the reasons which convinced hiin that the war was a just war—which con vinced him that it was a war which England had not sought—a war which England world have gladly avoided —but a war in the midst of which England bad been placed by Providence, and where it behoved us to acquit ourselves with all the courage, and with all the endur. ance, and with all the wisdom that we might. .It was a great miF.tAke to suppose that this war with Russia was a great a.7cident. There was no accident in it at ail. It was not a huge misfortune that would never have come about, but for the foolish talk of this man, and some silly doing of the other. It was a very shallow phi losophy which taught that great events ever came from little causes. (Thar, hetr.) Dr. Vaughan then pro ceeded at some length to describe the progress of the ne gotiations and events which preceded the war, film the brat diplomatic correspondence as . to the holy places to the affair at Sinope. Referring to the discussions on the " balance of power," he said that some asked, "But this equilibrium of Europe, is it not a fiction I See to what evils it has led, what injustice it hasinvolved," and the like. This was easily said ; but, with submission, it was no great proof of any man's wisdom to say it. (Hear, hear.) There never bad been a cluster of nations, small and great, as the nations of Europe were, whether in a civilised or comparatively barbarous condition, but this idea of a balance of power had come into recogni tion, and a system growing out of it had been worked into shape, and always acted upon, It was very true that the system might lead to many wars; that there might be involved in the working of it many particular instances of injustice. But this was Taylng no more than could be said of the government system of nation. We Felt, however, that the worst government was better than absolute anarchy ; and so this attempt to keep down some one great power, by a combination of lesser powers that should balance it, and tell it effectively that it must keep within its hounds, was absolutely necessary. (Loud ap . plause.) If the English Government, with the know lelge they were now proved to have posses , ed, had .aid to the Turkish Cabinet, after all the demands of Prince Menschikoff, "You must suspect nothing amiss at St. Petersburg—you must consent to all that is re quired of you—and inasmuch as you are told that the Emperor of Russia does not mean anything that shall infringe the independence of Turkey, you must believe that he does not ;" if our Government, with its know ledge, could have said that, our Government should have been impeached for treason. (Applause.) After the most careful study and reflection upon all the cor respondence and facts of the case, his conclusion was, that to declare that the Governments of England and France were to be blamed for this war, was about as just as to say that a man who resisted the attack of a housebreaker was to be condemned, and not the house breaker, whose attack had made that resistance neces sary. (Applause.) And more particulary so, when that housebreaker bad been hovering about that neighbour. hood, suspiciously armed, for a long time, and had at length made his way into the house—had got possession of the two best apartments and all he could find in them —and threatened the master, unless all his demands were complied with, he would at once take pos sess i on of more. We had gone into this war to preserve Tur key, not to serve the Turks ; not to oppress nationalities, but to secure to the nationalities of Turkey larger liberty under the sway of the Sultan than they could ever hope to have under the sway of the Czar ; not to encourage bigoted Mahommedans in the persecution of Christian sects, but to secure to Christian sects greater liberty under the sway of the Sultan than the Czar was wont to allow to such sects in his other dominions. (Applause.) We were at war, not to uphold, rotten des potisms, but rather to break up the fraternisation of des potisms. For ali those objects it was indispensable that the power of Russia should be repressed ; if Czarism was not to be curbed, he saw no prospect for the security of European liberty. (Applause.) The result of the war might be, and he hoped it would be, that in addition to all other points to be settled as the basis of peace, we might make this a point—" And that the ancient king dom of Poland be restored to her true and proper inde pendence." (Loud cheers.) To restore Poland would be to rear up a great rampart along the whole line be tween'Russian power on the one side and the more hope ful nations of Europe on the other. Austria and Prussia might be made to see that they would be gainers by such a reconstruction of the map of Europe. Austria never went cordially into the partition of Poland ; it was the work of Prussia and Russia; but both Austria and Prussia were now paying the penalty of tie brigand do ings to which they were partners—for they had brought Russia down clos,; upon their territories, and made every inch of those territories insecure. There was every reason to believe that Austria would be a party to the restoration of Poland ; the great difficulty would I . o c.witil Prussia; and from wha' -Al, had seen of Prussia of late, th'ere was no - ielks' bn to be very d lie to as to how things might shape themselves in relation to his Majesty of that kingdom. (Hear, bear.) In conclusion, Dr. Vaughan said—Uzsrism, we are told, is m t dead ; but let us not be disheartened. If we have to deal with it, let us not go to it in a craven spirit. Have you never known, in the history of individuals, that some of the best actions of their lives have been those which have proved to them most costly ? Never did this noble country of ours give itself to an enter prise in a more generous spirit than it has given itself to this war enterprise. Mistaken, or not,. it has been unselfish, as a movement to aid the weak against the strong—to uphold the free and the civilised against the servile and the barbarous. It must be ours not indeed to be blind to such things as come to us about the suffer- ings in the Crimea—not to be indifferent to the derange ments arid privations that come at home, or that may come ; but that we allow not our thoughts to render us insensible to the true significance of this straggle, as a grand question of right and wrong. Patience, my noble hearted countrymen ! The stout in heart know how to wait as well as to work—how to endure as well as to dare—how to hope in the dark day as well as how to be sober in the bright one ! Let us cast away the last taint of the sordid, the selfish, the servile, the fearful ! Let us count that we live only as we live to be just, and ge nerous, and noble ! (Loud cheers.) Mr. JOSEPFI ADSHEAD secoi;del the adoption of the petition, which was to be forwarded for presentation to the House of Lords by the Earl of Harrowby, and to the House of Commons by the Right Hon. T. M. Gib son, Esq., M.P. The petition was adopted with applause. Mr. GOULD moved the third resolution That this meeting desires to express its sympathy for Poland and her exiled sons, and that the address new read embodying .those sentiments be adopted and transmitted to the Prince Adam Czartoryski, that he may communicate it to his countrymen. Th e th r ee great principles of humanity, justice, and free dom, lir* identified with the problem of the re-establishment of the independence of Poland, and its solution becomes daily of greater importance to the interests of Europe. We con 'template with poignant g rief th e events of the past which have a reference to th e melanchol y fate of Poland. Her dis memberment reflects a discredit upon the sp i r it o f the times, but we chiefly deplore the indifference with which Great Britain beheld the consummation of that act of spoliation. However, we are inclined to ascribe that apathy moro to the want of proper knowledge of foreign affairs than to the hs fluence of unfriendly feeling. We are uow anxious to make a compensation for what we consider to have been a grave poli tical error, by the manifestation of our sympathy and a desire to support the claims of Poland to her national independence. Under the influence of such sentiments we address your high ness, hoping that our sympathy now conveyed in words to you, and to your fellow-exiles, may be soon written by deeds, whitili will realise your wishes and vindicate the rights of nations." • ' Mr. ISAAC GREGORY seconded the resolution, and ex pressed a hope that the approaching treaty at Vienna would accompany what neither Napoleon the First, nor the old treaty, nor England, nor France had accom plished, namely, the restoration of Poland ; and said he illustratedcalamities. believed that if a vigorous voice were express e d i n all the large towns of the kingdom , Eng l and and France would be roused to discharge their long - neglected duty. (Hear.) The address was cordially adopted. M. nits, a Pole, urged the necessity of never ceasi ng to combat injustice and tyra n ny , for to disregard that duty on the plea of obtaining the settle ment of peace (Rear, hear.)on only bentiihsetrsuotuhrcewaosf strikingly y inou the history of man, but unfortunately we seldom profited by the experience of the past. He could not kelp re garling the present war with Russia_ as a retributive penalty which had heavily fallen upon Europe for having suffered with indifference the aggressive spirit of R uss i a to march forward and to grew into a giant strength at the expense of ju.tice. (Hear.) Russia, befor e th e dis memberment of Poland was without political influence in the councils of Euiopean states ; but Poland w as t h e safeguard of western civilisation, keeping back the pres sure of the eastern barbarism of the Muscovites' the Tartars, and the Turks. There w as in the Polish lan guage a proverb which said that "If you allow a bear to put his paw upon yourself, he is sure in a short ti me to crush you with his weight. (Hear, and laughter.) The truth of this proverb was perfectly illustrated with regard to Russia. There was no doubt that Russia aimed at universal dominion. The noble lion and the golden eagle had, however, been startled by the presumption of the northern bear, and entered into a compact to keep it in abeyance ; but unfortunately by acting from the generous impulse of their nature, they did not like to attack the Russian bear in the weakest part, but tried at the strongest. (Applause and laughter.) If the noble lien and the golden eagle had taken the white eagle,—that was Poland, —into thei r counc il s, Russia would have been taught a good lesson. And even at this moment, if we were a nxious to muzzle the Russian bear, we must ask Prince Czartoryski to stir him up with' the Poles--=(laughter) — who would effect what our cannons and Minis rifles had not accomplished at Sebastopol, and would have done the work without the enormous sacrifice of life and treasure. (Applause.) The Poles took great interest in the foreign enlistment bill, and wanted a Polish legion to have been organised, not as mercenaries but as allies, with the avowed object of the re-establishment of the nationality of Poland. (Applause.) No doubt there were difficulties, but he did not believe that England could be placed in greater ditneultieS than Rho expericuod at present The destruction of Sebastopol, and the Russian navy, and even the loss of the Crimea would be only paring the nails of the giant. M. Zaba concluded by saying that if Poland's claims were neglected, and she once ac quired the conviction that she could expect no sympathy from the western powers, then the Poles would be actually driven to become Rus , ians, and make common cause with Russia, which might at a future time bring about European calamities of even a more sanguinary character. (Applause.) On the mutton of the Rev. Dr. VAUGHAN, a vote of thanks was given to the chairman, and the meeting ter minated at a quarter Fist ten o'clock. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The Royal George, 102 guns, screw steam-ship, left Sheerness yesterday, under steam power, at 2.30 p.m., for Portsmouth, having repaired the defect and damage to her starboard waste pipe. _ The Orion, 91, new screw-ship, Captain Erskine, was undocked on the sth inst., and taken down to Gilling ham-reach to take in her guns and ammunition. The provisions and water will also be shipped immediately. She will then be ready for sea. Her engines were tried on the 7th inst., and were found to work admirably. This magnificent screw line-of-battle ship is the first of her class designed by the present Surveyor of the Navy, and from the time of the first plank being worked to the present period is only 15 months. This is an un precedentedly short time to finish so large a ship and fit her for sea complete in every respect. The James Watt, 91, Captain Elliot, has been re moved from the dock and into the steam basin at Ports mouth to complete her refit ; her machinery will be readjusted and ready for trial on the 20th. The Majestic screw steam-ship is to leave Sheerness for Portsmouth on Saturday next. The Edinburgh, 58, Captain Hewlett, is to be out of band at Portsmouth on the 14th inst. The Arrogant, 46, Captain Yelverton, has received orders to complete stores at Spithead for six months. She shipped her powder and shell yesterday. The Falcon, 16, Commander Pullen ' is ordered to re turn into Portsmouth harbour, from Spithead, to have the well of her screw altered. The Centaur, 6, paddle-frigate, Captain Clifford, is now complete in her rig, and will leave tha basin at Ports mouth to-day. She has commenced outward painting. The Ariel, 9, Commander Luce, having had her screw well altered, will be unlocked, and ready to rejoin the fleet at Spithead to-day. The following promotions have been made, although they have not been officially given out at the Admi ralty : Assistant-Surgeons.—James Henry, borne on the books of the Impregnable, for service at Plymouth Hospital ; and James Wade (b), recently serving in the Resistance, have been promoted to be surgeons. Lieut, Beville G. W. Nicolas (1849), recently serving in the Amphion, has been appointed to commission and command the Teazer gun-vessel, at Woolwich. Captain James Willcox (1850) has arrived at Wool wich, and taken the command of the Odin steam-frigate. Surgeon William T. Billings has been appointed to the Melampus. Assistant-Surgeons—James Holt, to the Hastings ; James Young, M.D., to the Tyne. Acting Assistant-Surgeon P. W. Wallace, M.D., to the Arrogant. Clerk George B. B. Brown, to the Centaur. Midshipmaa T. D. Bedford, from the Sampson, to the Vulture. . Lieutenant-Colonel St. George will proceed to the Crimea in charge of the 32-pounder field battery. The Himalaya steam-ship arrived about 10 o'clock on Tuesday morning at Queenstown. The Arabia screw steam transport, Captain Judkins, left Portsmouth for Liverpool yesterday. It is reported she has been engaged by the French Transport Board. The Harkaway sailing transport left Portsmouth har bour yesterday, for the Crimea, with a large supply of victualling stores, from the Royal Clarence-yard. The Horatio steam-frigate, now in the fitting basin at Sheerness, has landed all her guns, and is preparing to receive two of the monster mortar guns invented by . Nasmytb. The guns will be of the following dimen sions : Length, 10 feet 6 inches. Diameters as follows —at bore, 13 inches ; muzzle, 315 inches ; base, 40 inches ; weight, 23 tons or thereabout. It is slung on the principle of Captain Julius Roberts's plan, similar to the sea service mortar, and will throw a solid spherical shot of 302.41 b. with a charge of 301 b. of powder. A. short time only will be required to fit the Horatio fur immediate service. By the arrival of the Peninsular and Oriental Gun pany s steam-ship Indus at Southampton we learn on the night of the 15th of February her Majesty's steam sloop Gorgon succeed d in getting the Ileela steamer afloat fl om off the Eastern beach, where she had been aground since the morning of the 23d of January. MILITARY. Upwards of 500 cases of rifled muskets, each contain ing 20, were yesterday put on board lighters at the Tower for shipment in the Government transports ; they are directed to the Chief of the Commissariat at Scutari, and are intended to arm the Turkish contingent to be commanded by British officers. Several hundred hos pital bedsteads and bedding were also forwarded from the Tower to Scutari, and 3,000 new tents for the army in the Crimaa. Volunteering for the household troops in the Crimea has commenced from the Ist ani 2d battalion of Grena dier Guards, the 2d battalion of Coldstreams, and of the 2d battalion of Scots Fusiliers, quartered respectively in the Tower, Wellington barracks, Portman barracks, and St. George's barracks. The draughts to augment the brigade at the seat of war will consist of 200 men for the 3d battalion of the Grenadiers, 150 for the Ist battalion of Coldstreams, and 150 for the Ist battalion of Scots Fusilier Guards, making a total of 500 bayonets. Major-General the Hon. J. Yorke Scarlett takes com mand of the cavalry till further orders, in the room of the E ►rl of Lucan, and Colonel Hodge, of the 4th Dra goon Guards, to that of the heavy brigade of cavalry.

Ensign John Evans, 38th Regiment, has been ap pointed to act as adjutant of the regiment, and Mr. Servantes, of the Commissariat, to the brigade of hew cavalry. THE INDIA AND CHINA MAID SOUTHAMPTON, THIIREDAY. By the arrival of the Peninsular and Oriental Com pany's steam-ship Indus, Capt. Suy, with the heavy por tion of the East India, China, and Mediterranean mails, in charge of Lieut. Brydges, R.N., Admiralty agent, we have dates from Alexandria, Feb. 21 ; Malta, 25 ; Gib raltar, March 2. The passengers per Indus comprise 58 first-class, among whom is General Bainbrigge, from India. On freight the Indus brings 86 boxes of oranges, 3 cases of opium, 30 bales of silk, 151 cases of ditto, 4 packages of teeth, 3 casks of wine, 31 bags of orangepeel, 2 horses, and 154 packages of general merchandise. On the 27th of Feb. this steamer spoke the English brig Mary Ann ; on the 28th signalled a steamer, supposed to be the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Tagus, and on the 3d of March spoke an English barque. At Malta the screw steamers Melita and Scamander were in the harbour when the Indus left, also her Majesty's ship Sanspareil. At Gibraltar her Majesty's ship Bellerophon and Hecla. The screw steam-ship Balbec, from Liverpool, arrived at Gibraltar on the 20th ult. The British steamer Auguste Louise, 16 days from Liverpool, arrived on the 22d ult. The British steamer Orentes, 1.6!, days from Alexandria, for Liverpool, arrived at Gibraltar on the 23d. The Euphrates steam-ship, 7 days from Liverpool, reached Gibraltar on the 25th ultimo. On the 26th, the steamer Tamaulipas, 71 days from Liverpool, arrived at that port.

The Liverpool and Mediter ranean Screw Steam-ship Company's steamer Arno arrived at Gibraltar on the Ist inst., in six days from Liverpool. Exchanges at Gibraltar for bills on London at 90 days' date were quoted at 511 ; Paris, sf. 39e. ; Spanish pil lared dollars, 4 per cent. premium ; Carolus dollars, 18 per cent. premium. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTIO, Marcia S.—The market continues much as on Tuesday. There is very little more business than last week. ....iotne orders that have been kept back for lowest prices are placed from day to day, but the market has not received such an impulse as to enable prices to overtake the advance of id. per lb. on cotton which has taken place since this day week. The im provement is mostly based on the hopes of peace which arise out of the recent decease of the Czar ; and, adverting to this point in his monthly circular of yes terday, Mr. S. Mendel justly observes, " Perhaps there is too great a disposition prevalent at the moment to discount these prospects of improvement, and the ex pectation of a revival of trade is somewhat too san guine and sudden ; yet it would appear that the nicst cautious and prudential are inclined to think the turn ing point has been attained, that prices last week found their lowest level, and that a change, slow and gradual, perhaps, is already taking place. Neither the stocks of the raw material, nor of yarns and textile fabrics, it must be borne in mind, are heavy, and if demand revive, whatever quarter the improvement may come from—whether from the home or foreign clemaud— prices will inevitably ascend, as at present they a re d o . pressed below a remunerative point." _.... // /47 ~~ in stifling the miners in the gallery. Other mining work will probably be executed with better success. "The great ravine leading to the port divides the lire of fortifications, and also the besieging worke, in two sections. The right division, which extends rom this ravine to Careening Bay, was at first occupied by the English. The left attack, executed by the French, coati manded the town, and faced several strongly-developed works and fortifications of the enemy. This attack ws i j however, enfiladed by the cannon of the besieged. The obstacles were therefore very considerable os this point. It was to have been desired that the right or English attack had been conducted with greater vigour, for it is there, on the side of the arsenal, that the most decisive progress can be made. The Russians at this moment are improving their fortifications, or constructing new ones. " The English General Burgoyne, who served in Spain under the Duke of Wellington, and who enjoysthe repnta• tion of a talented engineer, must have comprehended in the commencement the importance of the attack with which he was charged. He could not have overlooked that by pene trating into the sailors' quarter, Sebastopol, of the town so called, would bare been exposed in full to the ravages of shells and round shot, and that the military port, in ail its length, would have been at the mercy of the be siegers. c is to be regretted that the pitiful condition of the British army, weakened as it is by sickness, combined with the dislike of the British soldier to trench-duty, has not allowed this attack, which should be the principal one to be conducted with the desired vigour. At this Moment the French divisions are charged with the work, tied are progressing actively. This fact has aroused the attention of the Russians, who are now at work on this point. Tney have now demolished the remainder of the .Nralakhoff Tower (a casemated work, which was almost destroyed by the English batteries on the first opening of their fire), and with the material of that tower they meditate the construction of a kind of fort or bastion. " The works of attack and defence are alike being pushed with activity. The allies must resign themselves, notwithstanding the impatience of the soldiers, to a long and methodic siege, in accordance with the rules laid down by Vauban, which consists in gaining ground inch by inch, in destroying the defensive works by cannon or mines, until the day arrives when an assault can be undertaken with chances of success. " Our batteries suffered extremely from the superior calibre of the enemy's guns, and we were forced to dis continue the unequal contest of artillery to give exten sion to our parallels and communications. New bat teries have been constructed, it is known, armed with heavier metal, and mounting from 200 to 300 pieces of artillery. ..k.ll these batteries are masked, and will re main so until the day when the preparations are termi nated, and each piece provided with several hundred rounds of ammunition. They will thus be enabled to thunder together, with the view of producing a terrible effect, which will be followed by an immediate assault. This is all we can say on the subject without departing from a discreet reserve." .3/ KE T NEWS-(THIS DAY.) r PRICE 5, THE BATTLE AT EUPATORIA. THE FRENCH ACCOUNT. We hay° received the Ilioniteur of yesterday, which contains General Canrobert's version of the attack ou Eupatoria. It is as follows : "CRIMEA, FEB. 19. "Monsieur le Marechal, —Yesterday, the 18th, au English steamer corning from Eupatoria kought the news that the enemy had vigorously attacked that place, and had been repulsed. That vessel left Eupat'ria without taking the despatches of Commandant Osmont, and I was without details. _ "To-dad only I received a report fLom Commandant Osmont containirg the precie details, which I subjoin : " In the night between the 16th and 17th the Rus sians, taking advantage of the darkness, established round the place, the circumvallation works of which are not quite completed, a sort of irregular parallel, consi,t ing of earth mounds thrown up, intended to cover their artillery and rithmen. " On the 17th, at 8 a.m., SO pieces of artillery opened their fire. Behind this artillery there was a mass of 25,000 infantry, commanded (according to Commandant Osinont) by General Osten-Sacken. There were also 400 horse. . " After a cannonade of nearly two hours' duration the enemy made their preparations for an assault on the north-east side, where the smallest number of guns are mounted. Five battalions of infantry, provided with the necessary materials for crossing the fosse and scaling the walls, advanced to within 400 metres, protected by a fragment of wall belonging to an old cemetery. Two of these battalions were then thrown forward. This column arrived within 20 metres of the fosse, but, re ceived by a brisk fire, was compelled to retreat. Brought up a second time to the attack, it was vigor ously repulsed by a Turkish battalion, which, making a sortie from the town, attacked it boldly at the p o i n t o f the bayonet and routed it, while the small body of Turk ish cavalry charged it on the flank. This column left 150 dead in the cemetery. " Meantime the cannonade continued along the whole line. The fire of the enemy was chiefly concen trated on the hill, so-called, of the Mills,' where the Egyptian General of Division Selim Pasha, and the Egyptian Colonel Rustem Bey were killed, nobly fulfil ling their duty. " 'At 10 o'clock the Russians began to waver, and were soon in full retreat. " The defence of Eupatoria confers the greatest honour upon the Commander-in-Chief, Omer Pasha, and the troops under his orders. It inaugurates in the hap piest and most brilliant manner the debut of the Otto man arms in the Crimea. " Commandant Osmont estimates the loss of the enemy at 500 killed ,and 2,000 wounded. Writing at the very moment of the event, he had not received the official return of the losses of the garrison. He esti mates them at about 100 killed and a proportionate number of wounded. " ' Our little French garrison of about 200 men of the 3d Regiment of Marines and a portion of the crew of the Henri IV. figured honourably in the defence, under the orders of their commander, Chef d'Escadroa of the Staff, Osmont, whose inteiligence and firmness are known to you. We bad four men killed and eight wounded ; among the latter Lieutenant Las Cases, who had command of the marine guns. His wound is not serhus. He is a distinguished officer, full of vigour. " The steamers in the roadstead, among which I must mention the Veloce, Captain Dufour de Mont Louis, rendered good service to the dofence of Eupatoria by a well-directed fire. " I ani, M. le MarSchal, &c., " CNROBERT. " General Canrobert addressed a letter of congratulation to Commandant Osment, Governor of Eupatoria, saying that he should send a report of the gallantry of himself and garrison to the Emperor. THE RUSSIAN ACCOUNT. The Invalide Busse has the following account of the affair of the 17th at Eupatoria "«'e know by the report of Prince Menschikon aide-de-camp of the 12th that on the 3d the Turkish troops disembarked at Eupatoria had made an offensive movement upon the village of Saki, in numbers of more than 10,000. "In order to assure himself of the exact amount of the enemy's forces in occupation of Eupatoria, and to ascertain if there was not a possibility of expelling them, Prince Menschikoff ordered Lieutenant-General Chrulefl to execute on the 17th a strong reconnaisance upon that town with a party of troops stationed in the vicinity. " The troops destined for this operation approached Eupatoria within the distance of 250 yards, and opened a cross fire of artillery upon the place. " The enemy responded with a lively cannonade from the fortifications which surround the city ; nevertheless, the action of our artillery was so happily executed that iu a few seconds five ammunition waggons belonging to the Turks were blown up, and several pieces of cannon dismounted. "Carried away by this success, the 3,1 and 4th bat talions of the regiment of the Azoffinfantry, the battalion of Greek volunteers, and three sotnias of the regiment. No. GI of Cossacks of the Don de Jeroff, got nearer to the town, and, profiting by the shelter which the locality offered, commenced a smart fu illade with the enemy ; nevertheless, General Chruleff, being assured that the town contained nearly 40,000 troops with 100 pieces of artillery, and that further effort on our part promised no result, gave orders to the troops t retire. This difficult movement was executed with remarkable order. " Our loss in this affalr amounts to nearly 500 men killed or wounded. The loss of the enemy was in all probAbili y much greater, for his troops, pent up in narrow ,treets, remained fur a long - time exposel to the terrible tire of our artillery, the projectiles of which had clear range of the entire town." THE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL. The Debats contains an interesting article on the present position of the allied forces before Sebas topol, signed by Colonel St. Ange. The following is a translation of the most salient points : "The allied forces encamped in the nearly insular Chersonesus may be estimated at 100,000 men, taking into account the continued reinforcements for ,varded from England and France during the last month, and the two French divisions that were left in reserve at Constantinople. "The Ottoman army at Eupatoria, under the orders of Omer Pacha, must now be 40,000 strong. As the three nations are sending corps or detachments on to the Crimea up to this moin.,‘,nt, everything leads to the be lief that the total of the allied armies will amount to 150,000 men in the course of this present month of March. "There can be no doubt that the Russian army will net reach that figure until it has received the last rein forcements despatched to Perekop, either by way of Odessa, Nicolaieff, or Kherson. At present, apparently, it does not number 100,000, including the garrison of Sebastopol and the other positions in the Crimea ; and it could muster only 60,000 or 65,000 men for any stra tegical operation. This explains its complete inaction since the battle of Inkerman, where it deployed only 45,000 men, who, as it may be recollected, were beaten with immense loss. "It is a known fact that the ilussiaes have suffered at least as much as the Allies by sickness, the severity of the season, and the want of food and forage. In a cli mate nearly similar to that of France, the winter has pre sented, as with us, frequent alternations of snow, rain, frost, and thaw. Transport across the Crimea bas been almost always interrrupted by the breaking up of roads on which a stone was never at any time laid. In Russia properly so called, winter is the season for sledge convey ance, as the frost generally lasts for four consecutive months, without any intermitting thaw; but not so in Southern Russia, and especially in the Crimea. We may thus corn— prebend the difficulties that must have encountered the Russian army in the transport of its food and munitions ; and even the impossibility of the task, when we recol lect that a road of six miles from Balaklava to the camp before Sebastopol became so impracticable that the Eng lish army was deprived of its supplies for several days, and that, to maintain the fire of its batteries, balls and shells were obliged to be forwarded on the backs of mules, and even in the arms of men. " This Balaklava road now exhibits a line of railway not only marked oat, but nearly finished. On the French side, a stone road unites their different camps, and easy communication was early established with the points of debarkation. Balaklava and Kamiesh be on their shores two towns of huts and tents, embracing magazines, ambulances, workshops of all kinds, a mob of settlers, and a military or nomade population exhibiting restless activity. A French army carries in itself all arts and trades ; is sufficient for itself ; and is, in fact, an entire civili,ation. This a dministrative system, military and industrial, these companies of workmen, this entire organisa tion, the English army does not possess ; and its soldiers, so intrepid in combat, have not the same aptitude as ours for the various labours of war. Bat England knows this ; the defects of her military organi. sation have been revealed to her. Enlightened to her own cost, she is setting about the remedy with the energy of a great nation, determined not to be behind others, the more particularly that her power and her honour are both engaged in a most serious war, in convert with France. We will now proceed to the condition of the besieg eg works The principal attack (that is the name g iven to a b series of trenches du, in a given di rec ti on ) was com menced opposite the Flagstaff Battery, in the centre, and stretched to the left towards the Quarantine Fort. Zigzag roads have carried the third parallel to within 100 metres of the ramparts, and the works have been ex tended to the Cemetery, which is in our possession, and as far as Quarantine Bay, where we occupy the hospital. This progress is considerable. The fortifications are sur rounded at so short a distance that our miners have com• menced the subterranean labours. A first mine has been discovered by the Russians, who constructed a ‘camon liet'—that is, they succeed, by fixing rnvd" and resin, _ . _ CORN EXCHANGE. Only a limited supply of English wheat has been received up to our market during the present week; yet we had several of Monday's unsold samples on offer to-day. There was very little inclination shown to purchase any descrip. tion, and the trade was in a very' sluggish state, at Mon day's decline in quotations. Only 870 quarters of foreign wheat have come to hand. Most kinds, however, sold heavily, indeed so little bagmen was transacted that prices were almost nominal. The barley trade was in a depressed state, and inferior parcels were easier to purchase. Malt sold heavily, at barely late rates. We had an Im. mense show of Irish oats, in which an average Ingham% was doing on rather lower terms. Beans and peas were very dull. The flour trade was heavy, and the top price of English was 655. per 28 lbs. Several parcels have arrived from Spain and the United States. Wheat.

We had a very moderate supply of beasts on offer in to-day's market. All breeds sold somewhat briskly, at fully Monday's advance in the quotations. There was • brisk inquiry for sheep—the show of which was rather limited—, at an advance in prices of 2d. per 8 lbs. The best old Downs realised ss. 2d. per 3 lbs. The few lambs in the market changed hands at from ss. to ss. Bd. per 8 lbs. We had a good inquiry for calves, at very full prices. Pigs were quite as dear as on Monday.
