This is the more satisfactory, as it may be re garded as an eloquent and correct expression of the Imperial sentiments. There is no prospect under such circumstances of any interruption of our amicable relations with such a People and such a Government. The delicacy of the compli ment enhances its value, and of that which is no fictitious entente cordiale, but honest and heartfelt good feeling of La Belle France and Sterling England, we may exclaim, " Quis seperabit." It will certainly be beyond the power of any German neutral, or philo-Musco vita to sow dissension between those who are now, and we earnestly trust will ever remain, firm and faithful friends at all times, through good report and through evil report, in -adversity, should it unhappily arise, as in the brightest hour of prosperity and triumph. A few days ago we noticed the remark in a morning contemporary, that the Crimea would soon be forbidden ground to Russians till the Cum should accept terms of peace satisfactory to the Allies. We may hope that no member of the Press, none, at least, which professes to repre sent national opinions, conceives, for a moment, the possibility of ever surrendering this all-im portant conquest. Satisfactory terms of peace must include the retention of the Crimea. On no point, we are confident, is the public more unani mous than that the Crimea shall, under no stipu 'ations whatever, revert to Russia. Who shall hold it may be fair matter of discussion, though we think the choice can only well lie between the two less powerful Allies ; but the negative side of -he question every Englishman and Frenchman ,ins already settled. Were the two countries ,lolled to-morrow, with the exception of Messrs. :74LADSTONE, COBDEN, and their Cliques, not a yot6 would be given for Russia. If asked to :hoose a master' for that country—even those whose information was most imperfect, would at once reply, any of you Allies who may suit best, T)ut on no account Russia. As we had but lately occasion to observe, no 'ountry could less complain cf the victors' retain no their conquests. Wherever she has been sue r3essful, she has uniformly seized and retained ter ritory. Sweden, Turkey, Persia, not to mention oland, have all been successively mulcted of minable provinces on the conclusion of a peace. indemnity and injurious political concessions were -arely sufficient ; "material guarantees" have been ,he constant demand from the times of PETER to those of NICHOLAS, and his MENSCUIKOFF. Why, hen, scruple for a moment to insist on dealing tut to her with her own measure ? Peace, vith territorial and pecuniary indemnity, have )een the uniferm condition of these varnished ;avages—let them feel that civilised men are not heir inferiors in policy. Let them not hope that ur superiority as soldiers will be neutralised by heir superiority in diplomatic cunning. Indeed, a the case of the Crimea, the very pretext which CATHERINE assigned for seizing it in flagrant viola ion of the treaty of Kainardji, which explicitly maranteed its independence, becomes a real rea on for banishing Russian authority from it for ver. With unblushing falsehood she proclaimed, a the edict of annexation in 1783, that the inde )endence of the quiet Tartars cost her millions of •oubles and heavy losses of soldiers, the truth )eing that she had suffered only from attacks on lie independence she had sworn to uphold. The lilies can now assert with manifest truth that the lependenee of the Crimea on Russia has cost hem millions of money and torrents of blood in ;apturing the veritable pandemonium she had treated on its coasts. She annexed the Crimea uld all the Kuban, to secure, as she pretended, 'ler empire —in reality, to make Russia mistress )f all the East. We must now dissever the Crimea tnd all Asia from the Kuban southwards from Russia, to secure Turkey and all the East against this ever restless and unprincipled aggressor. If we look to the political results of allowing Russia to re-enter the Crimea, or the contrary, it seems sheer infatuation, or rather treachery, to restore it. Nothing could prevent her making Sebastopol again more formidable than ever. She need not rebuild the huge forts of stone. It has been rendered but too plain that earthworks can be rendered more formidable than even granite itself. She might easily and secretly replace her immense stores of guns and ammunition, she might accumulate vast stores of provisions, she could then with an adequate number of troops erect in a few months, and ere au army could land on her shores, such works as could never be reduced again. Thus, even supposing she did not openly rebuild her pirate's bold, which Europe would not at all times go to war to prevent, sh could gradually and privately make all requisite preparations, and complete the more conspicuous part of the work at any time. As to a navy, it could not be difficult to build any number of the most formidable gun-boats in her rivers, nor would it be easy to go to war with her for three deckers on the stocks.

Of the many important results springing from the Russian aggression, and the subsequent core plications of "the Eastern question," none wil; be more beneficial to the cause of freedom and of civilisation than the thorough and complete un derstanding--the cordial friendship that has arisen between the two great Powers of the West. It is an alliance not merely of Governments, but of nations—of dynasties, but of peoples—and ce mented by the blood of the best and bravest of either country. The petty jealousies that so long prevailed are happily extinguished. The troops who fought side by side in the same glorious cause, who invariably supported each other wherever aid was required, and who were there fore competent to speak of the vigour and un swerving fidelity of each other—on which impli cit reliance might be placed in the hour of trial, could not nourish any bitterness of feeling. There was a noble emulation, a magnanimous desire to obtain the post of honour and of danger—but there was no attempt to derogate from the exertions or the successes of their friendly and highly-prized rivals. Those who bare the chief honours of the day have always been willing to render full justice to their " brothers-in-arms," who were not as fortunate themselves in bearing the brunt of the encounter. There was no part of General SIMPSON'S De spatch more creditable to the Gallant Commander than . that relating to our brave Allies, which spoke of their having " entered and carried the apparently impregnable defences of the Malakhofl with that impetuous valour which characterises the French attack, and from whence, having once obtained possession, they were never dislodged." Ile truly assigned the honours of that glorious day to those by whom they had fairly and justly been ,carved ; and while he simply related our own failure to hold the Redan, which had been so nobly entered, he put forward no needless excuses for that which required none—the fear- Woodshed amongst the assailants of the Man, supplying the most conclusive evidence of the desperate and unflinching gallantry and self devotion both of officers and men during the sanguinary conflict which was maintained nearly an hour under the most untoward circumstances. But General, or rather Marshal, PELISSIEIL was not equally silent. He spoke of the E ng li s h having carried the salient of the Redan " with their usual vigour," but fully accounted for their inability to retain their dearly-acquired position ; adding, " But, as was the case at the Redan of Careening Bay, they were obliged to give way before the enemy's artillery and powerful reserves !" Thus showing that there was a French as well as an English failure on that ever-memor able day. Limitation of her navy by treaty has, however, been thoroughly exploded as a piece of Vienna humbug —our readers must pardon the only word in our language which befits the combined mean ness and roguery of Vienna doings. Without Sebastopol Russia never can be mistress of the Black Sea. Even if Nicolaieff and Odessa were left her, which ought not to be, the possessor of Sebastopol could always scour the seas of all she could send into them. As has been long re marked, a fleet without Sebastopol, or Sebastopol ,vithout a fleet, w ou ld b e useless for aggression. While such a spirit prevails between th e ga ll a nt , Commandere=a spirit which i s f u lly s h are d b y It is the two which pl ace th e T urks and Circas the troops under their command—there can be ;fans so much at her mercy. But if Sebastopol but little danger of any m i sun d ers t an di ng between be in the hands of a party necessarily interested the nations. We cannot, however, refrain from in the independence of Turkey, Russia is helpless expressing our intense gratification at the article for mischief. The remarks we have made on the which has just appeared in the Moniteur, and Crimea apply with secondary force to all the which will be found in another part of this day's ports of the Sea of Azoff and the brave Circas impression. We earnestly commend it to the sians. It would be inhumanity as well as im perusal and attentive consideration of the British policy to alloW Russia ever again to exclude them public.

Suffice it now to warn our governors, and the Germans who would govern them, that to dream of restoring the hard-won Crimea—the invaluable guarantee—to Russia would raise a revolution in the country, and would blast with universal execration ANY individual suspected of being the real mover in so infamous a concession. The conduct of the present Viceroy of Egypt stands out in marked contrast to that of his pre decessor. Though greatly superior to him in many respects, he has by no means shown that dutiful devotion to his Suzerain which, politically speaking, redeemed to a considerable extent the errors of SAID PASHA. The latter, it is well known, put all the resources of Egypt into requi sition in support of the SULTAN in his conflict with Russia—the former, now that the nemssities of the Turkish Empire are greater and more urgent than ever, appears desirous to lend as little assistance to his Suzerain as possible. Though the forces of the SULTAN have been deplorably re duced in numerical strength, and further recruiting from the greatly diminished population is exceed ingly difficult, so far from despatching troops to the aid cf his SOVEREIGN, he actually grudges the soldiers needed to put down a local revolt in the province of Tripoli. To the SULTAN'S request for troops for this purpose, his only reply has hitherto been a resultless inquiry about the screw steamers at Alexandria. The cause of this reluctance to support his SOVEREIGN, to whom his family] owes a he redir tary throne, would appear to be ambition, pos sibly stimulated by Russian intrigue. The career of MEHEMET ALI has probably suggested a similar one, to be commenced under apparently more advantageous circumstances. It is stated that to an intrigue, in which the VICEROY was an influential party, REDSCHID PASHA owed his dismissal, and that the viceroy chafes at the fact of the tribute he pays being handed over to France and England, whereby a stronger hold is obtained of his allegiance. This much seems certain—that the Porte has expressed its sense of his conduct to the Allied Powers, and that they regard it in a light so far from favour able to the Pasha that the latter, while hastening to lay his defence before the Governments of this country and France, thought better of it, and turned back before he reached Marseilles. It un doubtedly is not easy for one in his peculiar posi tion to escape misrepresentation by parties in terested in promoting differences between him and his Suzerain, and due allowance should be made on this account ; but the present is not a time to resent such misrepresentation by with holding supplies, while, if the ambitious views at tributed to him have really foundation in fact, the Allied Powers have reasons strong enough to induce them to put in an irrevocable veto to their accomplishment. It cannot be tolerated that while the aggressions of Russia are resisted vi et antis, the treachery of an Egyptian Viceroy should be winked at or overlooked. Ere the harvest in Wallachia and Moldavia had well begun, we urged on our Government the clearance of the mouths of the Danube. The importance of the recommendation has now be come more apparent than ever. Mark-lane re minds us of it three times a week, aul our baker daily. Independently of military and political considerations, we are feeling, both in France and England, the want of what the fleeced inhabitants of the provinces would be glad to sell us. We have had rather defective, they abundant harvests. Free traffic with us would, in some measure, com pensate them for Russian and Austrian exactions. There is nothing in the way but the Russian gun-boats near the mouth, and a few strand bat teries ; of either of these Sir E. LYONS could satisfactorily dispose in a short time. France was sending out a large number of river steamers a short time back. We had hoped they might be intended to clear the Danube for trade. As we mentioned on the former occasion, to open the trade with the Danube would facilitate greatly the supplies needed for the East. The state of the English and French corn markets, however, and the claims of the provinces, are sufficient reasons for bestirring ourselves in this matter. If any anything could degrade yet lower the most selfish and perfidious Court in Europe, it is that Austria should have occupied the provinces all this time, professedly in aid of the SULTAN and the Allies, and that the Danube should not even yet be free. Russia dare not oppose what Austria had courage or inclination to demand there. She has probably neither. She can oc cupy territory which, till Sebastopol foil, she thought she might one day appropriate. She could plunder the inhabitants, murder the men, and violate the women. She could uphold the Russian tool, STIRBEY, and make him equally sub servient to herself ; but one worthy deed—such as opening to trade their and her great river— this she has not even attempted. It would benefit the provinces, and the Allies, and annoy Russia ; reasons sufficient for Austrian inaction. The Prussian government intends causing numerous excavations to be made in Greece, and sending two savans to superintend them. Baron Alexander von Humboldt has just celebrated the 86th anniversary of his birthday. Notwithstanding his great age, he still unremittingly continues his im portant labours. THe HIGHLAND GARB IN CALIFORNIA.—A. Scotch gentleman in San Francisco has organised a military company of his fellow-countrymen, who are to be dressed in complete Highland garb. He sends to Edinburgh for the uniform, at a cost of 5,000 dollars. Profeisor Ernest Remhold, son of the celebrated German philosopher of that name, aid himself a very remarkable man, died at Jena four days ago in his 62d year, from an attack of apoplexy. JUDGES' CHAMBERS.—SEPT. 22.—THE QUEEN V. WYNN.—CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER AGAINST A POLICE INSPECTOR.—This case, which WAS reported in The Sun, was on Saturday decided before Mr. Justice Willes at chambers. The defendant was an inspector of police, at Northampton, and in dispersing an assem b'age of people, it was alleged that he had ill-treated a man named Burton, wh o di e d f rom the injuries he had received. Mr. Justice Willes made the rule absolute for the defendant to be discharged on hail. THE ZOLLVEREIN. —A letter from Berlin states that the different governments of the Zollverein have ac ce3ed to the application of Prussia to prolong to the end of September, 1856, the permission to export corn, and that this decision will soon be published officially. QUARANTINE.—The Belgian Consul at Lisbon has i formed his Government that the Board of Health in Portugal has declared the ports of Villa Nova de Porti mao, and Alvo, in the Algarves, to be infected with cholera. Previous to leaving Paris Mme. Ristori had the honor to receive, on the part of the Emperor, a mag nificent diamond bracelet as a mark of his Majesty's high admiration of her genius. LYCEUM THEATRE.—The boys of the Duke of York's military school were treated by Mr. Anderson on Satur day morning with an opportunity to witness his popular magical performances. In the course of the entertain. ments their juvenile band played the National Anthem, Partant pour la Syrie, and other pieces, which obtained deserved commendation from the excellence with which they were executed. Much amusement was occasioned at the termination of the performance by the nationality displayed by the boys on Mr. Anderson preseatinc , each with the flag of either England, France, Turkey, or Sardinia. The union jack was in general request, whilst the tricolors of France and Sardinia were politely de clined for the emblem of England. Mr. Anderson states it to be his intention to invite the pupils of all the large public charities to his Saturday morning entertainments. THE AMERICAN MAILS.—The United States Mail Steam-ship Pacific, Captain Ezra Nye, sailed from the Mersey on Saturday evening for New York, with the usual Trails for the United States and British North American possessions, 187 passengers, and a full cargo of merchandise on freight. Prior to her departure, Messrs. Wilmer and Smith, of Liverpool, placed copies of the London journals of Saturday (containing the offi cial despatches of General Simpson relating to the cap ture of Sebastopol) for the press and public institu tions of the Western Continent. THE OFFICERS WOUNDED AT SEBASTOPOL. WAR DEPARTMENT, SEPT. 22. Lord Panmure having, in consequence of nu merous inquiries, asked General Simpson to report upon the condition of the wounded officers, has received by telegraph, dated 20th inst., 8 a.m., a satisfactory account of their progress towards re covery. It is considered probable that the full lists of killed and wounded will not reach the War-office before the end of the week, the care and caution required in their verification rendering it a work of time and difficulty. _ _ With General Simpson's despatch of the 9th, given on Saturday, a list of officers killed, wounded, and missing is given in the Gazelle. The return is substantially the same with that published in The Sun of the 13th, as having reached Lord Pan mure by telegraph; but which was at the time stated to be subject to correction. Comparing the corrected list with that published in 'The ,'Sun, of the 13th inst., the following appear to be the most important variations : Killed—Captain Hutton, of the 97th Foot, was re turned under this bead instead of missing. Dangerously Wounded—Lieut. S wire, 17th Foot ; Captain Gillum, Ist Foot ; and Ensign Peachey, 3d Foot, were omitted. _ Severely Wounded—Captain Hume, 55th Foot, and Ensign Young, 19th Foot, were omitted. Lieut.-Col. F. Maxwell, 88th Foot, was inserted instead of Lieut. G. J. Maxwell, of that regiment. Lieut. Deverill, 90th Foot, was printed Derail!. Slightly Wounded—Lieut. Moorsom, 30th Foot ; Captain Richards, 55th Foot; Captain Sergeant. sth Foot ; Lieut. and Adjutant Hamilton, 41st Foot; Lieut. Dring, 62d Foot ; Ensign and Adjutant Tose land, 33d Foot ; and EnsLtn Hill, 97th Foot, were omitted. Major Pratt, 41st Foot, was inserted for Major Platt ; and Lieut. Wallis, 33d Foot, for Lieut. Willi:. THE APPOINTMENT OF MEHEMET ALL The sudden reaccession of Mehemet Ali Paella to power from a state of banishment, though not by any means unusual in the history of the Ottoman Empire, caused considerable astonishment both at Constantinople and in Paris when the fact came to be known here. ' It was understood that Lord Stratford do Redeliffe was strongly opposed to Me hemet's return to office, and his reappointment dur ing the noble Ambassador's absence in the Crimea was thought to exhibit a curious mixture of fear and bravado on the part of the Sultan's advisers, which would be sure to bring down on them some mark of his Excellency's severe reprobation. Ac cording to the Univers, Lord Stratford de Redcliffe's feeling on the matter was so thoroughly appreci ated by those about him, that, during his chiet's absence, the head dragoman took upon himself to school the Grand Turk on his conduct. That journal affects to give the ipsissima verba used by both parties in this extraordinary interview. Our readers must form their own opinion of the verisi militude of the whole story. The Dragoman is reported to have said— "Sire,—Lord de Redcliffe has charged me to present to your Majesty his respects and felicitations on the oc casion of the Beiram, and to call your attention at the same time to certain reports in circulation, relative to the approaching re-entrance into office of Mehemet Ali Pacha. By forgetting the promise you deigned to make to the Ambassador i❑ this regard, your Majesty will compromise him with his Government, and will seriously injure your own sovereign dignity." To this speech the Sultan is reported to have sharply replied as follows: " My dear Monsieur Pisani,—l am my own master. My Ministers are my own servants. Tell your Ambas sador that I choose them, I dismiss them, I banish them, I pardon them, I take them back and dismiss them again, how and when I please. On such matters I render an account to no one. You may retire." COURT CIRCULAR. BALMORAL, SEPT. 21.

REPULSE OF THE RUSSIANS AT KARS. The ltloniteur of Vienna, of the 20th, states that intelligence of the same date from Constan tinople, on the authority of reports which had reached the Porto, mentions that the Russians had attacked Kars in two columns ; that they had been repulsed, and had left several hundreds of dead on the field. POSITION OF AUSTRIA. The Austrian Government has caused the pub- lication of the following announcement in its ac knowledged official organ, the Austrian Corre- " The new state of things may give spondenz occasion to a diplomatic contest or a sanguinary strife between Russia and the Western Powers, but it will in no way affect the mediatory attitude of Austria." THE RUSSIAN LOSSES. The Kreuz Zeitung at Berlin, the violent parti san of Russia, prints a letter from St. Petersburg of the 11th, containing the following passage : "We have suffered horrible loss. General Yusa soft' is dead ; Generals Chruleff, Martineau, Zurof, and Wojenkoff, adjutant of the Emperor, are se verely wounded ; Kollen is taken prisoner." THE CRIMEA, A letter from Vienna of the 18th, in the Post- Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, says :--" According to the latest accounts from the scene of war the Russians continue to send reinforcements to Crimea. The 6th division of the 2d corps of in fantry has arrived at Bakshi-Serai, and the 2d and sth divisions of the same corps are on their way thither. Bakshi-Serai and Simpheropol, where the chief stores of the Russian armies are, are both well fortified. But if Marshal Pelissier succeeds in forcing these points the Russian army is undone. Once deprived of these magazines it must either retreat upon Perekop or lay down its arms. In the last encounter the Russians are stated to have had 16 generals and 19,000 men killed or wounded." FRANCE. PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING. The Council-General of the Bank of France, in its sitting of the 20th, fixed at .5 per cent. the interest on advances on public securities, Railway Securities, and City Bonds. The rate of discount of commercial paper remains as before at 4 per cent. The Chevalier Francois Hamoniere de Chapuset, aide-de-camp to the Emperor Soulouque, of Haiti, has arrived in Paris with a suite of three negroes. General Regnault de St. Jean d'Angely, Senator, and Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard, who arrived at Marseilles from the East in the Indus, has arrived in Paris. _ _ The last intelligence from the Birman empire announces that an extraordinary embassy was on the point of setting out for France, being the first that the Emperor of the Birmans ever sent to any power in the world. General d'Orgoni is to be at its head. The Hercule and Duperre line-of-battle ships, and the Chandernagor transport, left Toulon on the 21st for the Black Sea, with troops, provisions, and ammunition for the army of the East. A letter from Marseilles says : " Captain Nicholson, of the Telegraph, which has just ar rived from the East, was with his vessel at anchor at Balaklava when the French troops carried the Malakhoff Tower and the southern part of Sebas topol. After the assault he went over part of the vicinity of the captured ground, and states that the general opinion was that the Russians could not possibly hold the northern side, and that no astonishment would be felt in the allied camp at hearing that they had blown up the forts, and re treated towards Perekop.

Nicolaieff will probably he in future the head quarters of the Black • Sea fleet, and the different naval establishments connected with it. It begins now to be apparent that Sebastopol was too far off and isolated from all support in the rear to form the advanced post of the Russian navy, and that its defence must be difficult as soon as the fleet are unable to co-operate. It now becomes the problem for the present Emperor to solve, to reinstate Russian superiority in the Black Sea—if he can. It is generally stated here that in future no sailing ships are to be built, and that the new Russian navy will consist exclu sively of steamers, among which are to be seve ral of 131 guns, so as to be a match for the Duke of Wellington, the Royal Albert, and the Marl borough. Such a one has been already laid down, and is on the stocks at Nicolaieff, besides which blockships, floating batteries, and light draught screw gun-boats have been ordered to be built. An unusual activity prevails in the dock yards and arsenals in the Baltic, and the High Admiral (Grand Duke Constantine) is paying par ticular attention to the organisation of an effective corps of naval engineers and mechanics both for the Baltic and the Black Sea. For the head-quarters of the latter Sebastopol was originally intended to be selected ; now, in consequence of recent events Nicolaieff will probably be the place. Prince Gortchakoff's order of the day to his troops after the battle of thQ Tchernaya is dated the 17th of August, and says : " Though It pleased the Almighty not to crown our efforts yesterday with success, it has served to give a fresh proof of the traditional bravery of Russian soldiers. All hindrances and difficulties vanished before your impetuous charge like weak reeds, and you ,have proved to the enemy that no fortifications on earth can protect them from the reach of your bayonets. Soldiers, you have gloriously sustained in yester day's combat the unsullied honour of our arms, and it is my sacred duty to communicate it to the Emperor, our august monarch. By virtue of the power confided to me by the Czar, I have already rewarded several of you with marks of distinction and honour for extraordinary proofs of bravery. (Here follow the names.) Act always as you did yesterday, and if your efforts are not crowned with success, be sure the Emperor will not fail to re cognise and reward your valour and courage. The Emperor has conferred a sacred iinage, en riched with diamonds, on the Metropolitan Aga thangelos, who, by his prayers and benedictions, animated the troops to devote themselves in the defence of their country at Sebastopol. Major-General d'lndrennis has been appointed Chief of the Staff of the army of the Caucasus. The Emperor, in a rescript, thanks the Moscow merchants for a freewill offering of 92,500 silver roubles. He has addressed a letter of condolence to Captain-Lieutenant Nachimoff, brother of the Admiral who fell in Sebastopol. ~, _ •- AUSTRIA. A Vienna letter of Sept. 18, in Voss's Gazette, says : Yesterday Prince Gortschakoff had a conference at th e Ministry for Foreign Affairs—a rather remark able circumstance, since Prince Gortschakoff is very seldom seen at this Ministry. He communicated to Baron de Verner (in the absence of Count Buol) the contents of a despatch brought to him on Sunday evening by a courier from Warsaw." PRUSSIA. A letter from Berlin of the 19th says :—" The discharge of men, in consequence of the red uc ti on of the army, las commenced in different corps ; nearly 400 of each regiment will be discharged, so that the reduction will be considerable. The Queen left yesterday for the province of Saxony to join the King. The sales of horses which are taking place by order of the Government have caused such a heavy fall in the value of such animals that they are now hardly worth one-half of what they were at the beginning of the year." THE BALTIC. DANTZIC, Sept. 21.—The English steamer Vul ture, which left Nargen on the 18th, in the even ing, has just arrived. It brings nothing new from the theatre of war. The position of the allied fleets at Nargen and Seskar was still the same. The Vulture leaves this evening for the Gulf of Finland. SPAIN. MADRID, Sept. 20.—The Gazette contains nomi nations to the post of aide-de-camp to the King of General Fitor, Brigadiers Barcastegni and Falcon, and Colonels Ametler and Feran, The definitive amount of the subscription to the voluntary loan of 250 millions is 173 millions. THE MEDITERRANEAN. MARSEILLES, Sept. 20. The steam-transport Telegraph, Capt. Nicholson, expected here since the 17th inst., arrived this morning. She brought Major the Hon. Leicester Curzon, of the Rifle Brigade, Assistant Military Secretary to General Simpson, with the despatches containing the de tails of the glorious capture of Sebastopol. She likewise brought a bag of letters for the Admiralty from the Black Sea Fleet. Capt. Nicholson sailed from the Crimea at midnight of the 10th inst. He did not stop at Constantinople, but proceeded to Malta to coal, where hearrived on Sunday afternoon, thel6th, and was detained 9 hours. He continued his voyage, which was impeded by dense fogs. H e e was compelled to slacken his speed, and to observe great caution on approaching the coast. The Tele graph, which is said to be the favourite steamer of Sir Edmund Lyons, was a very fast boat, her aver age speed being 16 knots an hour. By a long stay in the Black Sea she has become excessively foul, and her speed is consequently considerably dimi nished. Captain Nicholson hoped to have been able to get the Telegraph into dock here, but no such accommodation exists at Marseilles. The cap tain visited the ruins of Sebastopol and saw seve ral mines exploded. He says that the Russians previous to their flight connected the mines with fort Constantine by electric wires, in hopes of de stroying any troops which might enter the town ; but their vile plans had been completely defeated. A general opinion prevailed in the allied camps that the Russians would abandon the northern forts and seek safety in flight. The present week is remarkable for the unprece dented activity displayed in embarking troops and shipping military stores for the Crimea. On Monday the Jourdain sailed for Constantinople, taking the mails, together with General Mangin, detachments from various regiments of infantry, and 15 sisters of Saint-Vincent de Paul going to attend the wounded. Orders were received the same day to recommence the shipping of bomb shells, which has been continued. Timber for huts was likewise shipped in large quantities. The British steamer Lady Jocelyn arrived from Kamiesh on Monday, bring ing 190 military invalids and 45 civilians, who were landed at the Frioul. General Rostolan, whose attention to the sick is unwearied, proceeded the same evening in the steamer Sea Nymph to the Frioul to see that the wounded soldiers were com fortably lodged. The steam frigate Christophe Colomb, and the steam corvette Eumenide, arrived onTuesday from Toulon, and proceeded immediately to receive three battalions of the 11th regiment of infantry. The embarkation of those troops, to gether with the horses of the staff officers, was effected in a few hours, and the steamers proceeded on their voyage to the Crimea before night. Twelve months since a week would have been consumed in the accomplishment of a similar feat. The 11th regiment thus embarked is one of the finest bodies of men I have seen since the commence ment of the war. They do great credit to their officers. The steam corvette Gorgone arrived yesterday morning from Toulon. She embarked nearly 1,000 men of various corps, and sailed for the Crimea. Several hundred casks of gun powder were shipped in a sailing transport—a quantity more than sufficient to blow up all Mar seilles. Several gun carriages for field artillery of more than ordinary size were likewise shipped. 150 quay porters were embarked in a small steamer which came here with coal, and sailed immediately for the Crimea. The Marseilles quay porters are remarkable for their great strength and likewise for their temperate habits. They are to be employed in clearing the ruins of Sebastopol. The mail steamer Sinai sailed to day for Constantinople. She was crowded with troops. 140 of the Land. Transport Corps have arrived and are to sail for the Crimea, in the steamer Telegraph on Saturday. A letter from Toulon, dated this morning, states that the screw ship of the line Algesiras is to be launched on the 4th of October. The same letter adds that the military hospitals are filled with con valescents from the Crimea. THE INDIA MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, SUNDAY NIGHT.

The Washington correspondent of the New Yor; Herald states that Mr. Buchanan, the Unite" States' Minister to London, would not re t u rn halo on the Ist of October, certain complications with reference to Central American affairs rendering 15 necessary for him to prolong his time.

Th e Brisk visited Petropaulovski, and found there ° Russian merchant v esse l which had been abe ll. cloned by her crew. The vessel was fired and de stroyed. On several occasions the Brisk was close to the Russian settlements on the Aleutian islands, but was unable to effect a landing in consequence of the thick fogs which prevailed. Tlie British fleet had sailed from San Francisccs for Valparaiso, and the China teas. Advices from San Juan state that Colonel Kienec had completed the pu rc h ase f or 500,000 dolls. t Messrs. Sheppard and Haley's rights in the hair granted them by the Mosquito Government ' ll 1839, so that he possessed this fertile tract, as re ported, in addition to other 1,700,000 acres.
