THE GREAT WIZARD 'OF THE NORTH begs most respectfully to announce that this favourite place of amusement will OPEN on MONDAY, Sept. 3d, under new au spices, and with &series of Extraordinary Performances. As ever? thing the Wizard lays his hand on necessarily undergoes some s t a rtling change, the Lyceum Theatre will, by a wave of his Magic Wand, be instantly transformed into the Wizard's Psycomaatheum ; while the class of Entertainments presented within its walls gill b e ss unlike anything that has been seen before as it is possible to con ce i v e. Preparagana h ave b een i n p ro gress for many mo nths past to produce these Entertainments on a scale of magnitude and excellence worthy of the Wizard's fame and popularity. His assistant spirits have been ordered to spare no expense in the compounding of their Spells ; and. the result it is hoped will be an Entertainment which, for " startling effects," will far outstrip the wildest French mele. drama ; with "rapid changes" more surprising than an actor's play ing twenty imrts, in twenty different dresses ;. with tricks more wonderful than those of an adulterating tradesman : and " trans formations" which would make the alchemists of old expire with 117.

Without attempting to exalt the Professor's' art beyond its due deserts, let it suffice to say it is his art. lie has devoted himself for-years to the Perteethig it, and rendering it more fitted to amuse and entertain the pubgc. That he has been sucdesefhl in his efforts he thinks, from what he hag said, is- pretty certain; indeed a life time spent in diligent pursuit of excellence in any art, whatever it may be, can scarcely fail in producing some degree of efficiency. It is the result of this long study that will be presented at the Lyceum Theatre. Feats in Modern Magic hitherto unattempted will be exhibited.hy the aid of apparatus outrivalling any that has been Ofevlously constructed.. Anothtfreature in Professor Anderkn's Delassemens Magiques syill be a complete diklosnre of loose of the principal impostures of the age, with illailtrations of the mechanism, mystery, and mischief of Spirit-rapping, Table-Onto:, Clairvoyance, and other delusions, to be classed generally, under, the now popular head of the " sell " theory. In the Wizaid's performances there will be found mirth, for those *ho seek merritnentl;• mystery, for those who fancy the mysterious; paradoxes, for,the lovers of the paradoxical ; wonders, for those who like the wonderful ; startling surprises, for those eager for excitement. There will be science for the sage, wisdom for the philosopher, art for the artistic; and cheerfulness for all. It will be the Professor's object, in fact, to prodece a play each night in which the audience themselves shall be the actors, and which, whatever the plot may be, shall certainly be free from the fault of many mo dern dramas—the fault of laciiing incident or exciting situations and unexpected denouemens. • Such will be the general character of the Wizard's Banquet of Wonders. . It will be an ordinary to which he will welcome all. The bill of fare will shortly be published in the programme now preparing ; and Professor Anderson, the carver of the feast, will spare no effort to ,please" the taste of every guest who may honour his table with his presence—cutting it fat or lean as each may wish.

NAPOMON and VICTORIA may for the time being be regarded as the incarnations of their respective empires ; and as in April every Gallic heart responded to the sincerity of the welcome so unanimously bestowed on their Imperial ruler, so will every true-born Englishman feel as if he had personally partici pated in the emphatic greetings rendered to his dearly-loved Sovereign. In another part of our impression will be found a graphic description of the tasteful and splendid scene, which recalled to our memories the most gorgeous visions of fairyland.. But the "homage of the heart," of which such nnequi voeal evidence was exhibited, far transcended, and was infinitely more gratifying, than the mere outward show, however brilliant and imposing. It was far different from the splendour of the " Field of the Cloth of Gold," which was after all but little better than a " whited sepulchre ;' for there the hearts were wanting, and the pro fuse and lavish expenditure, that impoverished the actors in the drama, was only a substitute for the fierce rivalry that was ready, on the most trifling contretemps, to find expression in deadly defiance, and war even to the knife. Here there was solely the desire to render the greater honour to the cherished guests ; for every Englishman was on Saturday a guest of France, and the feeling was, like SHAKSI'ERE'S "mercy, twice blessed," shedding its benign in fluence alike on those who gave and those who received. The visit was well heralded by the glad tidings which almost simultaneously arrived from the Crimea and the Gulf of Finland. On the very day of her. MAJESTY'S first pressing the Gallic soil, the intelligenee of the glorious victory of the gal lant troops of France and Sardinia over the Rus sian troops, led, on by GORTSCHAKOFF in person, against the position on the _Tchernaya., was pub 7 lished. Admiral PENAUD'S report from Swea borg also came to • hand, telling how French and English valour had accomplished such brilliant success against " the Gibraltar of the North," crushing the frowning fortresses of Sweaborg by their irresistible attack. The de -1 molition of the buildings, and destruction of the accumulated stores must exercise no ordinary in fluence in the just and necessary War in which we are together engaged. That conviction, and the accounts of the great victories by land and water of the Allied forces, lent an auspicious augury to the interesting occasion, and made QUEEN VIC TORIA approach as the messenger of Joy to the people of France. The exulting ponns that greeted her prbgresswere perhaps increased by the felicitous news ; and it is by no means improbable that still more satisfactory intelligence may render memo rable the visit of England's QUEEN, by its connec tion with some of the most glowing pages of French history. It was well inaugurated by the victories of the Tchernaya and Sweaborg. What if it were als9 illustrated by the fall of Sebastopol or of Cronstadt, or possibly even the destruction of both the strongholds of Russia in the north and the south ? It required no such aids to ob tain a cordial reception, but they are truly grati fying accessories to the welcome visit. It may be urged as a plausible objection to any movement against Austria on the part of this country that such movement might be disagree able to the Government of France, and might en danger an alliance with that country. We value that alliance as highly as any one can, because we believe it to be founded in the first place on the mutual respect and good-will of the people of the two countries, and on the substantial identity of their sentiments and interests ; and in the second' r►lace on the sincerity and good faith of the Em -or NAroLEox 111. That alliance has been y materially strengthened by the two nations .ng engaged together in a war of justice. Had , with France, entered into that war for any fish or corrupt ends—to gain an accession of ory, or divide some spoil —we should be ess of the alliance lasting long. But because essentially a pure and beneficent alliance, ned by those guilty projects of aggrandise which have often brought States together, sure that it must last and become stronger • -, g as the countries pursue in concert pure ►eneficent objects. The best security we 4ssibly have for its continuance is in the g friendship of the two peoples ; and it is and undeserved reflection in our gallant ours and A'lies to assort that they are ;o fall from our side should•a generous effort a this country for the liberation of the op- I people of the Continent. zteTer force there might have been in such jection when negotiations were in progress tanning the active assistance of Austria cau l:Ay now. Austria has deliberately declared ,e will have nothing to do with us. She 4. deluded us with promises of her assistance, 'illy to gain her own ends, and to favour the opc - - ations of our enemy. Her conduct not only , .stifles, but positively demands, a declaration of rar, to prove that two great nations are not to deceived with impunity, and that faithlessness negotiation must not pass unpunished. We heartily glad that we have escaped the dis e of an Austrian alliance,. but the Go . aments of England and France have the less reason to complain that ••Ie they acted towards Austria with perfect • 30d faith, and gave a substantial pledge of their elief in the sincerity of her professions by per sittin g her troops to occupy the Principalities, she as draw n b ac k at the decisive moment, rendering I thei r negotiation vain, and exposing it to ridi le.

On what is his own Throne founded but on the will of the French people ? Naporazorr may not desire to anticipate any popular movement ; he may w4it until it assumes a certain de gree of form and consistence, but if it be worthy_ of the name, and if it have defined objects and principles, we may be sure that he will not oppose it. We believe that any general expression of public opinion in England would have an immediate and decisive influence on the policy of his Government. He well knows how to distinguish between the sentiment of a na tion and the shout of a mob or the intrigues of politicians. There are reasons which must be weighing strongly on his mind at this very moment in re ference to the policy he should adopt towards Austria. He cannot forget that the Austrian alliance was the fatal sunken rocks on which the fortunes of the great NAromoN made shipwreck. We speak plainly. The main error of his uncle's life was that he had not sufficient confidence in the principle of liberty. He used it as an agent for his advancement, but he did not make it the pole star of his course. Despotic Governments took advantage of his fault ; they roused the spirit of nationalities against him—wrested the sword of freedom from his hand—and struck him down with that invincible weapon which he should have prized above his crown. Too late he sought to remedy his error. He called on popular influences when they were enlisted in support cf the legions of his adversaries, and expiated in St. Helena the unpardonable fault in one who had risen as he had risen, of deserting the cause of nations who had been willing to hail him as their deliverer, but would not endure him as a mere conqueror. Louis NAPoramorr must bitterly remember the treacherous conduct of Austria to his uncle. He must understand the secret of his fall, and how it was that the public opinion of Europe waslurned against him. He must know that his real strength consists solely in .the support of the French people. Without that he is nothing. An alliance with despotic Courts would much rather weaken than strengthen him. His worst enemies would desire nothing better than to see him in cicse alliance with Austria, and engaged with her to crush the principle of liberty in those noble countries for the time bowed down under her yoke. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING., AUGUST 20, 1855. LATEST NEWS. BOMBARDMENT OF RIGA. PARIS, MONDAY. A despatch from Hamburg, dated Sunday, says that on the 10th the English steamers bombarded the batteries of Riga for five hours, and caused them much damage. GREAT BATTLE ON THE TCHERN A YA, DESPATCH FROM GENERAL SIMPSON. We have been favoured with the subjoined in telligence from Lord Panmurs : WAR DEPARTMENT, SUNDAY, AUG. 19. Lord Panmure has received the following in telligence from General Simpson, dated Crimea, 17th August, 1855, 11.45 p.m. : Prince Gortschakoff commanded yesterday, in person, and not General Liprandi. General Read is killed. The loss of the enemy is greater than was at first thought. Our allies have 600 prisoners. A steady fire has been kept up from our bat- terics. The Minister of War has received the following despatch from the Crimea: — .AUGUST 17, HALF-PAST 11 P.M. GENERAL PELISSIER TO THE MINISTER OF WAR. In the attack of yesterday the enemy came forward with five divisions, 6,000 horse and 20 batteries, determined to occupy the Teiioucbine mountains. After passing the river at several points, they had brought up an immense accumulation of sapping tools, planks, madriers, fascines, and ladders, all which they abandoned in their flight, According to its usual custom our artillery fought bravely and with great success. An Eng lish battery of position oil the Piedmontese bill afforded very efficient assistance. The Russians left on the field at least 2,500 dead. Thirty-five of their officers and 1,620 soldier's are in our ambulancas. Three Russian generals were killed. We have made besides 400 prisoners. Our loss consists of 181 dead and 810 wounded. Darbois,. Alpy, and Saint Remy are se verely wounded ; De Follies and Barthe less severely, and Gagneur has only received a slight wound. TURIN, AUG. 17. General de La Marmora has sent to the Mi nister of War the following telegraphic despatch : KADIKOI, AUG. 16. This morning, the Russians, to the number of tb,oqo me . ; attacked the lines-of Tchernaya. Oar word was " Our King and ,Country." The French, despatches will say if the Pied routes° Niel© not worthy , of fighting by the side thc French and English. I can that they displayed the greatest gallaptry. General Monteveohi is dying. We have had 200-men.hors de combat. The Russians ,have _experienced very heavy losSes. PARIS, Mom:Li lt ,m oR A further despatch has been r ece i ved ~ from General Pelissier, dated the evening of the 18th: Gorttchakoff kas a s k e d It §tates that Prince - for an atm i a ti- ce i n - order to carry away his dead and woppded., , This ,has been allowed him. The enemy's ,lossth- - 2 Onteral Pelissier states, exceed his first estimate. Among the killed is General Read. This intelligence enhafices in every respect the importance of the victory won on Thursday last. When the generalissimo appears on the scene, the object must needs be exalted, and the effort supreme. The General Read whose death is reported was a very distinguished officer, and a year ago was discharging the duties of imperial lieutenant of the Caucasian provinces, in the absence of Prince Woronzoff, and before General Muravieff had been nominated his successor. The father of General Read, born at Montrose, was a civil en- gineer, who entered the service of the Emperor Alexander in early life, and settled in Russia, where his son, afterwards General Read, was born. The Meniteur publishes the following from General Pelissier CRIMEA, AuG. 18, 10 P.M. Prince Gortschakoff has asked for an armistice to bury the dead left on this side of the Tchernaya. I have granted this. The losses of the enemy are greater than I at first thought. Lieutenant-General Read has been killed. Protested by the continued fire of our artillery, the engileere works are no longer annoyed by the enemy, and have gained camp ground. THE CRIMEA. MARSEILLES, SATURDAY AFTERNOON. The Louqsor has arrived with news from Con stantinople of the 9th. The works of the allies before the Malakhoff Tower were almost completed when the courier lef'L Kamiesh. The number of mortars had been quintupled, and the preparations were on the same formidable scale. The allied troops on the Tchernaya, are on the qui vine, daily expecting an attack. The scurvy has very much diminished in the camps. Ocher Pacha goes back to the Crimea. He will previously be solemnly invested by Lord Stratford de Redcliffe with the Order of the Bath. General Melinkoff is to replace General Totleben as Directing Engineer in the defence of Sebas- topol. The Prase &Orient states that Prince Gorts chakoff is recalled, to undertake the Ministry of War, and that General Muravieff will succeed to the command of the Russian forces in the Crimea. The latter general will be succeeded in Asia by General Luders, Count Osten-Sacken taking com mand of the troops in Bessarabia. The garrison of Erzeroum has been reinforced. The Russians blockade Kars, but do not attack the place. The Kurds in Russian pay intercept the roads to Kars. General Vivian's Contingent was to leave Constantinople for Asia on the 20th inst. The Porte has sent three regiments to Tripoli to uphold the authority of the Bey. THE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL. CAMP BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, AUG. 6. Little has occurred here since my last letter to vary the often-described routine. A. great deal of ammunition continues to go up to the front, and there are many speculations as to the probability of an early attack. The french are working away on the right, with the view of getting at the Rus sian ships ; the USUP A I nightly cannonade continues with more or less vigour. Last night there was a good deal of firinz, mono than has boon heard for some time. The Russian Minies were at work, pop ping at sentries and everything that showed itself. I am informed this morning that the Light Division, which was on duty, had 50 men hors de combat, nearly double the usual number. Statements of this kind, however, are so apt to be exaggerated that ene can scarcely credit anything but the re turns. One thing certain is, that the English loss in the trenches, at the present rate, may be esti mated at about 1,000 men a month. This includes every man hors de combat, for however short a time. As regards disease, I do not learn that there has been any particular variations since I last wrote. The weather has been fine and bright, usually very warm of a morning, cooler of an after noon, and with pleasant breezes sweeping over the heights. The heat here does not, to me, feel so re laxing as on the shores of the Bosphorus—infinitely less so than in that steam bath, - Constantinople. There is much conjecture to-day as to the mean ing of a fire which commenced yesterday evening in rear of the Redran and burned all night, sinking and dying away towards morning. As yet nobody has suggested, a plausible explanation. Yesterday afternoon Caere was a burial in Sebastopol, evi dently of some personage of importance. The fuiter?l procession was numerous, and there was a firing party, which is unusual. We continue to hear tales, probably exaggerated, of the great mor 'caiity prevailing in the fortress. The heat of the weather, and the number of dead bodies, would account, however, for a good deal of disease. On Saturday afternoon General Codrington re viewed the Light Division, which went through some manoeuvres ii its usual steady and satifac tery style. The appearance of the troops was ex cellent. Yesterday about 2,000 or 2,500 Chasseura d'Afrique were reviewed: The place selected was the ground over which our Light Dragoons exe cuted the memorable but fatal charge of Balaklava, and mournful was the contrast which suggested itself to the minds of these who in October last beheld the return of the handful of heroic but battered warriors, and who yesterday saw tho fresh and well-equipped squadrons of France prancing. over the plain. Dearly indeed, by the loss of so many gallant fellows, was purchased that " one laurel more," now added to the numerous wreaths that twine round the standards of Britain's brave horsemen. Gay and smart looked the African Chasseurs yesterday in their neat light blue vests and the eternal red trouse rs . Th e y are fi ne service-like cavalry, their evolutions were well per fo.-emed, they made some capital charges, and their whole appearance was highly praised by the Eng lish military spectators. It has been . proposed to make the Ist Division into two divisions, one to consist of Guard%, to which were to be added the 31st Regiment, 3d Buffs, and 13th Light Infantry, the other of the fr - a Highland regiments now here, and of the 92d, expected out. The project, however, has been abandoned, at least for the present. I regret to announce the decease of Col. Cobbe, of the 4th Regiment of Foot. He died this afternoon from the effect of wounds received in the affair of the 18th June. He commanded the 4th from the commencement of the campaign, and was wounded at the Alma. Lieutenant Evans, of the 55th, is also dead. He was shot through the windpipe yes terday in the trenches, and every effort to save his life proved fruitless. It is in contemplation to make a good road from Balaklava to the camp. This is indeed a most tecessary, work if we are to pass the winter here, and it is to be hoped it Will be promptly proceeded with, and not postponed until too late to complete it - before the bad season sets in, and 'that we shall not see—as were seen last winter,--guns inextricably stuck in the mud, and remaining there for weeks, and commissaries, when bringing up stores from Balaklava to the camp, compelled to unharness the mules and horses from half a dozen carts, attach them to one, in order to get it up the hill, and then lead the animals down and recommence the same operation with every one of the vehicles. In con nection with a good road from Balaklava there should be branches through the camp, connecting the divisions and leading to the front. The health of the 10th Hussars still continues unsatisfactory. A day or two ago that regiment had 161 sick, out of a strength of 676. RUSSIA. 'The following telegraphic despatch has been re teivid at Berlin "Prince Gortechakoff, under date of Sebastopol, 16t1i of August, 5 p.m., says : A A rip ° l l4 of .our troops crossed the .Ther- F - naya - to-day, and attacked the enemy on the so called Feduchene heights. " ' Having found tbb enemy in considerable force, our troops, after an obstinate combat, with drew to the right bank of the river, and there awaited the eneray for four hours. As he did not advance, they returned to their former posi tions. " The 14SS on both sides was considerable.' " THE WAR IN ASIA. A supplement to the invalide Russo publishes the following : " Aide-de-Camp General Mouravieff announces, under date of the sth (17th of July), that on the 30th of June (12th of July) he transferred the main body of his corps of operations to the village of Tikmd, on the left bank of the Kars-Tchai, where he formed a junction with Major-General Baklanoff's column. • " The position of TikrmS, by placing our principal forces on the rear of the army of Anatolia, has enablvd us to examine with greater facility and more minutely the west side of the intrenched camp at Kars, by con tinual reconnaissances. "One of these reconnaissances was made on the 30th of June.

" During these movements, the flying detachment of Lieut.-Colonel Prince Dondoukoff-Korsakoff, which had advanced on the village of Taganloug, continued to send patrols beyond the Saganloug, but without meeting the enemy anywhere. On the 29th of June (11th of July) the Erivan detachment was near the village of Kara kliss, on the Euphrates. Everything in that province is tranquil. The Kurds continue to make their sub mission, and Vely Pasha is strengthening himself in his former position." The Invalids Russe also publishes extracts from Prince Gortschakoff's journal from the 26th July to the 2d August, but they are devoid of interest. FRANCE. PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING. M. de DeelKer, the Minister of the Interior of Belgium, and M. Mercer, the Minister of Finance, have arrived in Paris. Oh the 15th, M. Barrot, the French Minister at P.russels, on occasion of the Emperor's fete, gave a grand dinner, at which the Belgian Ministers, the great officers of the Crown, and the heads of all the diplomatic missions in that capital, with the exception of thatof Russia, were present. MM. de Deck er an d Mercier, the Ministers of the In terior and Finance, who were to have come to Paris a week ago, delayed their departure in order, to be present, and M. De Vilain XIV. also re mained at Brussels for the same purpose. Count Vilain XIV., Minister of Eoreign Affairs in Belgium, left Brussels on Thursday for Ger many, intending to visit Paris afterwards. By a decree of the Emperor a retiring pension of 6,060 fr. has been awarded to M. Bineau, lately Minister of Finance. The pension is calculated on the average of thelsalary received by him during the four last years that he was Minister, and on accGunt of upwards : of 27 years' public services, during which time he contracted the infirmities which compelled him to retire. The Moniteur, in announcing the arrival of Ge neral Canrabert in Paris, makes the following re marks :—" It required the formal orders of the Emperor to determine the general to separate from his companions in arms and to take that repose which the fatigues of war rendered so necessary for him. Full of the remembrance of the Alma and Inkerman, the army of the East, which has been able to appreciate, during the rude trials of the siege, the unshrinking constancy of General Can robert, as well as his kindness and his devotedness for the soldier, gave him on his departure the strongest marks of regret and of affection. At Constantinople, at Marseilles, and at Paris since his arrival, the General everywhere has found the expression of the same sentiments. The Emperor has given to General Canrobert the distinguished welcome which his rare qualities and his distin guished services have merited." BOURSE, AUG. 18.—CLOSING PRICES: Cash. fr. e.

We hear that the Gotha or National G errnan Party aro making, grant cirorts for the purpose of changing the relations of Germany with the Western Powers in regard to the Oriental question. It is proposed to obtain from the Western Powers an explicit declaration of their end and object in carrying on the war with Russia, and to bring them to state expressly that their sole object is the curbing of that empire for the advantage of the world in general, and of Germany in particular. If this object can be obtained, it is the belief of this party that the smaller German States will be induced to side with Austria, and that the adhesion of united Germany to the cause of the Western Powers will follow as a natural result. BOMBARDMENT OF SWEABORG. DESPATCH FROM ADMIRAL PENAUD. The Minister of Marine has received the flllow ing report from Admiral Penaud, giving details of the late bombardment in the Baltic : " Tourville, off Sweaborg, 11th. "Monsieur le Minstre—As I have had the honour to inform your Excellency by my letter of the 7th, Admi ral Dundas and I presented ourselves before Sweaborg with the combined squadron, with the intention of bom barding it. At half-past seven in the morning of the Bth sixteen English bomb vessels, each having one mor tar ; five French bomb vessels having each two of these pieces ; and a siege battery of four mortars of nearly ten-inch bore which, during the six' hours ob scurity of the two previous nights, I had established on the !slot Abraham at 2,200 metres from the place opened fire against Sweaborg. I am happy to announce to you, Monsieur le Ministre, that this operation succeeded perfectly ; it was not only a simple can nonade which the squadrons have made against Swea horg; it was a real bombardment, the serious results of which have exceeded my utmost hopes. In less than three hours after we had commenced to throw shells, we could observe that they caused considerable damage in the fortress. Numerous fires rapidly broke out on several points at the same time, and we soon saw the flames rising above the dome of the church situated in the northern part of the island Est-Swarto': T ha building, however, was not touched, and it may be said to be the only one on the islands Vargon and Swarto which was respected by our projectiles. Terrible exnlo sions were soon after heard, at four different times ; the fire had reached the magazines filled with powder and shells. The two last explosions were particularly violent, and they must have caused the enemy enormous losses both in men and material. For several minutes the deto nations of [Melia continued. The bombardment ceased this morning at half-past four ; it consequently lasted for two days and two nights, during which time Swea borg presented the appearance of a vast fiery furnace. The fire, which still continues its ravages, has destroyed nearly the whole place, and consumed storehouses, ma gazines, barracks, different government establishments, and a great quantity of stores for t he arsenal. The fire of our mortars was so just that the enemy, fearing that the three-decker which was moored across the channel between Sweaborg and the island of Back-Holmer would be destroyed, had her brought into the port during the night. The Russians have received a serious blow and losses, the more severe as on the side of the allied squa dron the loss is confined to one English sailor killed and a few slightly wounded. Vie enemy's forts returned our fire very vigorously, and did not slacken it until the moment of the explosions above-mentioned, but the precision of our long range guns gave us an incontest able superiority over those of the Russians. Every one in the division fulfilled his duty with ardour, devoted ness, and courage; th e crews ev i nce d admirable enthu siasm, and have merited well of the Emperor and of the country. ani perfectly satisfied with the means of action placed at my disposal. The mortar vessels and gunboats rendered immense services ; and they fully realise everything that was expected from them. The siege battery produced very fine results, and it may be said that it - was from an enemy's island, on which we bad hoisted the French flag, that the most de structive shots were fired. In this affair, as under every other circumstance which has taken place since our flags have been united, Rear-Admiral Dundas and I have acted with common accord. The example of the perfect good understanding which exists between the chiefs has lead the best effect on the spirit of the crews of the two squadrons, which in reality only form one in the moment of action. Every one has only one object— to rival each other in zeal, and cause the enemy the greatest possible mischief and the success of a vessel of one of the two nations was ap plauded by the other with the same cries of enthusiasm as if it had been gained by their own flag. Doubtless, Monsieur le Mieistre, the bombardment of Sweaborgwill exercise considerable influence on the Russ:'a ll people, who have now acquired the conviction that thin; fortified: places and their arsenals are not completely sheltered from the attacks of the allied navies, which may and must hope to be able to deal destruction on the enemy's coast without suffering any very consider able injury themselves. In sending you, Monsieur le Minlstre, a more circumstantial report of this affair, I shall haze the honour to. transmit to you a demand - for rewards for the officers, sailor., and soldiers who die tinguished themselves the most in this combat. I am, &c., `` PENAUD." AMERICA. ' LIVERPOOL, At m. 19. The Atlantic has arrived with advices from New York to the Bth inst., and $500,000 in specie. The Northern Light had arrived at New York with advices from California, via San Juan, to the 16th of July, and $940,035 on freight. The route across the Isthmus was exceedingly healthy. Colonel Walker, the defeated Fillibuster, was at Realio, where he retreated from San Juan del Sur. He was recruiting at Leon, at which place he had held a court-marti a l, an d s h o t one o f his followers, named Dewey. Another man, whom he sentenced to death, managed to escape. Colonel Kinney bad arrived at San Juan with 24 men. General Guandirlo had left Managua with 800 men to attack Leon in the rear. Costa Rica had offered the Government 4,000 men. Her Majesty's steamer Buzzard was at San Juan. At San Francisco Messrs. A. A. Chen, late receivers of the assets of Atiam and Co., and R. C. Woods, s member of that firm, had been held to bail in the sum of $420,000 each, charged with frau , to the amount of $400,000, by palming off inferior gold dust upon Page, Bacon, and Co. Mr. Dillon, the French Consul, had become involved in a quarrel with the agent of some French property owners, and the misunderstanding would have led to a hos tile meeting but for a difference of opinion as to the weapons to be used on the occasion. The steamer Sierra Nevada, which arrived at San Francisco on the 15th ult., had 31 fatal cases of cholera on board. A fire broke out in San Francisco on the 4th of July, and before it could be checked nearly $B,OOO worth of property was destroyed. From the mines all accounts agree in pronounc ing the present one of the most successful years since the discovery of the gold. The number of workmen was steadily increas ing, and the yield would probably exceed that of any other 12 months in the history of California. The State was generally healthy. The Supreme Court had rendered a decision in the case of Adams and Co. and their creditors, that bankers cannot go into insolvency. In Lower California, Generl Melendrez, who drove Walker's Fillibusters out of the country, had been decoyed and shot by the new com mandant. The insurrectionary or democratic Government in Nicaragua was in a state of disruption, and many of the chiefs bad crossed the frontier into Costa Rica. Some Nicaraguan troops also crossed the frontier and made arrests, on the Costa Rica territory, of refugees who had sought and obtained the protection of the Government. The Provi sional Dictator of Nicaragua had issued a circular to the clergy, asking them to exhort their flocks to rally round the Government for the protection of their altars and firesides. Chomorre's party held the country, with the exception of Leon. Mr. Thackeray bad been engaged to give a win ter course of lectures in New York. The New York, Newfoundland, and London Telegraph Company's officers had sailed from the former port to lay down the submarine telegraph cable between St. John's, Newfoundland, and the mainland. Advices from Havannah, of the 2d, report that the health of the city continued good, and no sick ness prevailed among the shipping. Business was aotive in competition for the remnants of sugar stocks ; in all other respects dull. Exchange, New York, 2 discount ; other northern points, a t 2/ to 2 discount ; London, 10 premium. The pro spects of the planters were good. The growing crops looked well throughout the island. A Spa nish vessel had been chartered to carry rum to Liverpool at 2/. per ton. _ _ Letters from Mexico state that Santa Anna had on his own accord proposed the formation and in auguration of a new constitution in a circular ad dressed to the governors of the different depart ments and provinces. General Wolf had fallen back upon Matamores, but the revolutionists were congregating their forces upon that point, and the capture of the city was considered as certain. An election riot had occurred at Louisville, in which about 20 persons lost their lives. In the New York market money continued as abundant as ever; first•class paper was taken at 6 to 7 per cent. In exchange the business bad not been brisk. Bills on London 91 to 10 per cent. prem. ; Paris, &c., sf. 13Ic. to sf. 12ic ; 60 days, and sf. 82c short sight. The Favourable accounts from abroad had im parted a very firm tone to the cotton-market, and an advance of one-fourth of a cent had been rea lised on most descriptions, with a fair business. The market for the lower grades of State and western flour had declined, holders being desirous to press sales, even at the expense of a reduction. In manufactured tobacco there bad been a good business done, and prices slightly improved. The rates of freight to Great Britain had im proved in consequenee of the withdrawal of so many vessels for the deal trade. WIND AND WEATLIER _REPORT. Stations. Course of Wind. State of Weather.

Sewing-Elam—The past two or three days have been unusually prolific in fires in the agricultural districts of Glocestershire. On Tuesday night a rick belonging to Mr. Wells, of Hampnett, was wilfully set on fire, and destroyed. On Thursday about 100 tons of bay, belong ing to Mr. Ricketts, of Stantway-farm, Chaxhill, were destroyed, having caughtfire from overheating by being put up in a green state. On Friday a large quantity of hay was destroyed at Harfield from fire, originating in the same cause. KILMARNOCK ELECTION.—On Thursday last the Hon. B. P. Bouverie was returned for the Kilmarnock Burghs. which he had vacated by his acceptance of the offic, of President of the Poor Law Board in England. As Mr. Bouverie had so recently appeared before the consti tuency, it was intimated to him that his personal attend ance would be unnecessary, and he was accordingly unanimously returned in his absence. The bon. gentle man was proposed by Provost Donald, of Kilmarnock, and seconded by Provost Risk, of Dumbarton. THE SUPPOSED MURDER AT BROMPTON.—On Saturday Mr. Bedford held an inquest at the George the Four -13,.

After hearing evidence, the jury returned an open ver dict, tha: the deceased died from a wound in the throat, but there was not sufficient evidence to show by whom . inflicted.' SPORTING NOTES.
