We believe Mr. Courtenay's experience in the treatment of stric ture during the last twenty years has equalled, if, indeed, it has not surpasse4, that of any of his contemporaries. It is, therefore, no mater of surrrise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a most 4exterous and skilful manipulator with urethral instruments ; and when it is remembered that the lamented Liston used to assert that the introduction of Instruments through a stricture which had previously been impermeable to them, was the most difficult in the whole range of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of gratification on Mr. Courtenay's part. to have achieved the reputation he has in this resdect ; and for our part, with the knowledge we have of his experience, we know of no man to whose care we would with greater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture of the urethra."—Medical Circular.

PUBLIC EXCITEMENT IN THE NEW IORK, Aug. 28.—The southern mails brirg front Mexico news of the most important character. The revolution against the dictatorship of Santa Anna has been successful, and the Dictator bin, 83Af has been obliged to fly to Haxannah. The instalments of money received from tie United States under the Gadsden treaty have hitherto stir ported him ; but at the critical moment, when the last instalment of 3,000,600 dollars was due, the United States Minister at Mexico refused, under instructions, to pay over, and the political enemies of Santa Anna, instead of himself, will enjoy the di vision of this sun]. An article in the Acapulco Restattraclor de la Libertad of Aug. 5, giving the substance of a letter from Mexico to General Al varez, says:— " The same letter announces that th3re is a strong opp."- sition existing between the American Minister and the Dictator, because that functionary, seeing the very critical circumstances which surrounded the miserable administra tion of the tyrant, has refused, in the name of the United States Government, to deliver to Santa Anna the remain ing 3,00J,039 dollars due on the sale of the Mesilla Vs ley. Regarding which we positively know that his Excellency the General-in-Chief Alvarez has solemnly protested against the payment of this money to the tyrant.' The San Francisco papers bring intelligence of the, capture of Petropaulovski, and the successful retreat of the Russians during a dense fog to the Amoor. All the San Francisco and New York journals contain full accounts of the affair. The various State conventions of New York take place about this time, preparatory to the autumn elections. The Old Line Democracy, better known as Hard Shells, met at Syracuse last week, and issued an address endorsinr , the Nebraska Bill, de nouncing sectionalism, an asserting that union with themselves or with the republicans is the only alternative. The Soft Shells, or Administration De mocracy, meet at Syracuse this week, and the Re publican, or Anti-slav er y p ar t y , next mont h. Th e native Americansi will manage their affairs more quietly in their Know-nothing councils. These movements are important as bearing on the Presi dential election of next year. The Hards have already put forward Mr. Daniel S. Dickinson as their candidate. The Republicans will be ready, if thought advisable, to put Mr. Seward in nomina tion for anti-slavery support. If the State of New York takes decided ground on the Presidential question, and gives an efficient support to any can didate, it will have great weight in deciding the question in a national convention. Anything like the state of excitement which last night existed in the metropolis. i❑ consequence of the arrival of the news of the decisive success of the allied armies at Sebastopol, has rarely been witnessed. The announce ment in the morning papers of the capture of the Malakhoff was received with unbounded satisfaction, and created an intense anxiety in the public mind as to what was likely to follow ; and this feeling matured into a perfect enthusiasm when the successive despatches arrived later in the day, announcing the destruction of the Russian fleet and the fall of South Sebastopol itself. The impression at first created among all classes seemed to be that the news was too good to be tine, for the re ported capture of the Russian fortress immediately after the battle of the Alma was not forgotten, and a fear was entertained by many that there was at least exag geration in the reported success of the allied armies upon the present occasion. The consequence of this doubtful reception of the glorious news was a rush to the offices of the evening newspapers, which, up to 11 o'clock last night, could with difficulty meet the de mand made upon them, while the news-rooms, coffee shops, and public-houses were crowded with people anxi• ous to read, or hear read, the despatches announcing, the success ; and it is impossible to describe the enthu siasm evinced when it became apparent that the southern portion of Sebastopol was indeed in the hands of the allies. At S o'clock a large crowd had assembled in front of the Mansion-House and Royal Exchange, in the expec tation that the Lord Mayor, in his robes of state, and with full civic pomp, would make an official proclama tion of the victory, as was done, now nearly 12 months ago, on the occasion of the victory of the Alma. No such proclamation, however, was made, owing to the fact that no official intimation had been made at the Mansion-House by Lord Panmure upon the subject, and the crowd, after waiting patiently for some time, gra dually dispersed. The bank balances for the week show a great loss of specie—between $1,300,000 and $1,400,000. It is not improbable that a temporary panic may follow this decrease. The bears are active in efforts to depress securities, and may produce some result for a few days or weeks; but it cannot be.any thing serious or permanent. The West is well supplied with gold, and in case of difficulty will prove a solid support for the Atlantic to lean upon. The new arrangements of the Commissioners of Emigration, by which all emigrants are taken out of the hands of runners and provided for by the city authorities, enable them to ascertain with great accuracy the amount of coin which comes to the country in their pockets. The system has been in operation only a short time, but there is reason to suppose that the addition of specie from these sources amounts to $15,000,000 or $20,000,000 a-year, most of which goes to the Western country. This must make itself felt on the value of property in that quarter, and on Western enterprises generally. It is un questionably one of the causes of the great sales and high prices of the lands of the Illinois Central Railroad, which now amount to about $3,200,000, and promise before the close of the year to reach $4,500,000. About 9 o'clock the guns in St. James's-park, as well as those of the Tower, thundered forth their notes of victory, and the bells at many of the principal churches rang out their joyous peals ; while in most of the main thoroughfares groups of people might be seen standing around one reading the despatches by the light of street lamps or shop windows. At the Haymarket Theatre Mr. Buckstone came on the stage, between the acts, with the third edition of The Sun in his hand, and read the despatches which had been received. The audience rose en, masse, cheering the intelligence to the echo, and when the orchestra per formed " God S ave th e Queen," and "See the con quering Hero comes," demanded an encore. At the Adelphi, Mr. Leigh Murray announced the intelligence, likewise from the third edition of The Sun, which was received with enthusiasm, till the very walls of the building vibrated from the tempest of applause. " God Save the Queen," and "Partant pour la Syria" was played by the orchestra, amid deafening cheering, and repeated before the audience would allow the per formance to resume its usual course. At the Lyceum Theatre Professor Anderson also an nounced the victory from the same source, and the effect produced was of the same character as that at the two theatres mentioned above. The Ohio and Mississippi Railroad promises now to he completed in a few months. The western di vision is again open, and running to Vincennes, and the third rail will be laid from Sandoval to St. Louis in about three months. The bonds issued for completing the eastern division have been sub scribed for, and the directors think that within six months at the outside the trains will go through from Ciucinnatti to St. Louis. Some of the New York journals have been pre mature in announcing an amicable arrangement between the New York Central and New York and Erie Roads. None has been made. Parties are endeavouring to bring it about, and with hopes of success. As yet neither road has suffered much from the contest. The diminished receipts of the Erie for the last month are accounted for by the absence of local business, owing to the failure of last year's crop. The new harvest is beginning to come in, and next month will probably tell a diffe rent story. The same announcement was also made at most of the other theatres and places of amusement in the me tropolis meeting in every instance with a most enthusias tic reception, fully expressing the joy of the people upon the reception of news long expected, long deferred, but come at last. CREMORNE GARDENS.—The glorious intelligence of the success of the Allied arms at Sebastopol created an extraordinary impression last evening among the crowds who attended these gardens. Shortly alter eight o'clock a grand salute was fire _1 in the grounds; and, whilst the audience were coming out of the theatre after witnessing the ballet, the worthy lessee was seen ascending the orchestra. The band struck up " God save the Queen," " Partant pour la Syrie," and "Rule Britannia ;" and then Mr. Simpson, advancing to the front, read audibly and emphatically, from a copy of the third edition of The Sun, the despatch which announced the thrilling in formation of the victorious capture of the south side of Sebastopol. Three tremendous cheers were given by the excited multitude for General Simpson, followed by a rattling salvo for The Sun, and a royal salute from the Crensorne ordnance followed. All throughout the even ing the most joyous spirit appeared to pervade the pub. lie, and mutual congratulations might be heard on all sides on this long-looked-for realisation of the national expectations. We understand that a splendid comme morative fete will take place on Thursday next, in which the resources of the establishment will be brought into full requisition. Both Mr. Simpson and his patrons are alike possessed of spirit to render such a fete worthy of the first of metropolitan places of amusement, and an appropriate celebration of the paramount event of the present year. BIRMINGHAM, Monday Night.—The telegraphic com munication announcing the fall of Sebastopol was re ceived at 6 o'clock this evening, and in the course of a short time caused the greatest excitement throughout the town. PRINCE NAPOLEON BONAPARTE. PLYMOUTH, Monday.—This morning early Port-Ad miral Sir William Parker proceeded in his barge along side the yacht Ariel, and conveyed the Prince and his suite to the Keyham Steam-yard, where his Highness was received by General Eden, Commander of the Forces in the West of England ; Admiral Plumridge, Admiral Superintendent of the Dockyard ; Mr. Luscombe, Con sul for France ; Captain Wisp, flag-ship Impregnable, 120 ; Captain Kingcome, Royal William, 120 ; Captain Parker, Flag-Lieutenants Turton and Dicken, Mr. Secretary Richards, &c. After inspecting the docks, stores, engine works, foundaries, and machinery of this eitabh-hinent, the Prince went to the Devonport dock yard and examined the saw-mills, store-houses, rope manufactory, &c. The frigate Satellite 21, which is to be launched on the 26th inst., and which was closely examined, excited particular interest, as did the testing of one of the large anchors. His Highness retained samples of the various kind of hemp in store and of a portion of rope plaited by peculiar machinery, the work ing of which afforded considerable amusement. From the dockyard the party proceeded to the Royal William Victualling-yard, Royal Marine Barracks, Plymouth Citadel, and the prison at Milbay, where upwards of 1,000 Russians are under confinement. The Imperial yacht Ariels, Captain De Beaulieu, with Prince Napoleon and suite, left the Sound for the East ward at 3 o'clock this afternoon, under salutes from the citadel at Plymouth, and the flag-ship Impregnable in Hamoaze. TILE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH BETWEEN SARDINIA, MALTA, AND TILE EAST. We read in the Portafoglio Maltese, Sept. 1 : The council of Government held this day the extra ordinary meeting called by the President of the Coun cil, to decide on the answer to be given to Lord Pan mure's despatch, with regard to the proposed electric wire between Sardinia, Malta, and Alexandria, and Malta and Constantinople. His lordship desired to be informed what tart the local legislature would take in this work, and if the island would contribute towards the necessary expenses. The Crown Advocate, on the part of the Government, moved that the island should defray one-tenth of the whole sum required. The pro posed communication is to extend over 1,500 miles, and the sum proposed is now estimated at 60,0001. The project was mooted by Signor 13onelli, and by the Pied montese Government communicated to Lord Panmure, who had transmitted the communication to Sir W. Reid with the above instructions. The Crown Advocate entered into a detail of the state of the public revenue, and alluded to the commercial advantages that Malta would derive from such an enterprise. Dr. Sciortino seconded the motion. He considered the economical and commercial advantages arising from this telegraph so great to the island, that he was inclined to give his vote for any larger sum, should the present vote not be suffi cient. Monsignor Casolani hoped that the sum de manded in the motion would prove quite adequate. The Hon. East India Company had a greater interest, and ought to be invited to take a part of the weight. He wished to know whether the enterprise belonged to the Government or to a company of Sardinia ; and the Crown Advocate declared his ignorance on the subject. Several hon. gentlemen spoke in favour of the proposal, and the motion was agreed to. The council adjourned to the 14th of December. PROGRESS OF THE HARVEST.—NearIy the whole of the wheat in Devonshire has been harvested in very ex cellent condition, the weather from the commencement having been uninterruptedly fine. A. large quantity of barley and oats have also been saved in good condition. Potatoes are fine and plentiful, the disease in most in stances having attacked the stalks m erel y , but not the root itseif. Apples are not a g ood crop, but i n many places are much better than was expected. The second clover crop will, it is expected, be a very abundant yield, and the green crops are generally very good. Farmers complain that the corn did not kern well, and p that the ears have t urned out much li ghter than was "rob fine samples petted.

The hon. gentleman goes to Portugal, for the purpose of examining the state of the vineyards, the stocks of wine, and the vintage, especially in the Oporto district, to obtain the best in formation upon the subject of a reduced duty, which he takes so great an interest in advocating ; and likewise to ascertain what disposition may exist in Portugal as to a reduction of the tariff upon Br With goods. DEATH OF CAPTAIN IV. H. PECHELL.—Ifs is under the most painful feelings we have to announce the death of Captain William Henry Cecil George Pechell, 77th Regiment, which sad event appears from a telegraphic communication to have taken place on the 3d September, while serving in the trenches before Sebastopol. This gallant and promising young officer, the only son of Sir George Brodie Pechell, Bart., and Hon. Lady Brooke Pechell, was born at Castle Goring in May, 1830, and after passing his early days at Harrow and Sandhurst College, entered the army in August, 1848 ; and, making it his profession, he most sedulously applied himself to all its duties, setting aside all other advantages to which his station might entitle hini. During the winter cam paign in the Crimea he cheerfully shared in the arduous services in which the 77th Regiment has been engaged. The personal regard and high esteem in which he was held by his brother officers, and his kindness and atten tion to the men under his command during that dreadful period, will cause his loss to be most deeply deplored by them. After the attack on the Redan on the 18th of June, he was offered by Prince Albert to be placed in his Royal Highness's regiment of Guards, which would have been the cause of expediting his return to England; but the high position he held in his regiment, and the zeal which ever stimulated him in the conscientious dis charge of his duties, induced him (at such a moment) to decline quitting the post of honour and danger to which be had so nobly devoted himself. His many amiable and estimable qualities endeared him to all who knew him ; and to his afflicted and bereaved parents and relatives his loss is irreparable. ROBBERY FROM A SILVERSMITH'S SHOP.-- Yesterday raorning much sensation was created in the town of Huddersfield by the announcement that the jeweller's shop, kept by Mr. E. W. Chinn, John William-street, had been burglariously entered during the night, and stripped of all the valuables it contained. The place en tered is only occupied as business premises, Mr. Chinn residing in Prospect-row. On Saturday night, after de positing all the watches in au iron safe under the counter, with the exception of two or three which he left in the window, he fastened up the shop, and went home— starting on Sunday morning for Coventry, leaving the shop keys with his wife. On Monday morning, about half-past seven o'clock, the apprentice went to open the shop, and found that it had been entered ; the safe, weighing above 2 cwt., containing the watches, was missing, and all the gold brooches and trinkets, the silver spoons, and other valuable articles left in the glass cases on the counter, were all stolen, and the thieves appeared to have gone most deliberately about their work, as they had rejected all the silver plated goods, but they did not give themselves the trouble to secure two or three silver watches left in the window. The shop door, by which the burglars had effected an entrance, was secured both by a patent and a common lock. The latter was picked, and it is ascertained that the former must have been opened by a duplicate key, as it has been since examined, and it does not show the slightest trace of violence. After removing the goods, the thieves again locked the door, and thus left no external mark by which the notice of the night watch might have been attracted. The value of the goods is supposed to be between 3001. and 4001. A HUSBAND STABBED BY HIS WlFE. —Another horrible crime has been committed in the locality of Bristol. IJohn Robins, who carries on business as a beerbouse keeper, haulier, and milkman, at Bedminster, just be yond the precincts of the city boundaries, is a man o f very dissipated habits, and is in the habit of frequently absenting himself from home, for periods of several days and even weeks. The wife during these intervals is said to indulge some drinking propensities, and o c . casionally to make some exhibitions o f h erself which are far from edifying or morning or agreeabl e t o her neigh- On T hursda yhours. Robins returned home between one and two o'clock, after being away for three weeks, during which period it is stated he has not s l e pt at his house mor e th an four or five nights, quarrel appears to have ensued between Robins and h i s wife, in the course of which she attempted to murder him by cutting his throat with a razor or some other sharp instrument. Mr. T. W. Fryer, surgeon, of Red cliff-hill, was sent for about half-past six on Thursday morning, and on arriving at the house he found Robins sitting in a chair in a back-room down stairs, with a good deal of blood on his shirt and also on a towel which he was holding to his throat. Upon examination Mr. Fryer found the man had received a superficial incised wound about two inches in length, just above the breast bone, which was then bleeding a little, but upon exposure to the air it ceased without requiring any of the vessels to be taken up. Robins was at this time in a fainting state from the loss of blood. His wife, who was in the same room, partially undressed, and appeared to be in an excited state, said that they had been having a few words, owing to her husband having been out for three weeks, during which time he had only been home four Or five nights. She had a slight wound on her left thumb, which Mr. Fryer also dresEed. Robins's wound was not in itself dangerous, but the constitution of the patient renders his recovery doubtful. The woman was at once apprehended, and in the course of the day Mr. Shorland, one of the Sotnersetshire magist ra t es , ac ti n g for this division, visited Robins's house for the p u rpose - of taking his deposition. Mr. Fryer was also examined and ultimately the woman was committed to take k , trial at the nut S omer set ArielZo.—Bria9l AfergurY.- LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING SEPTEMBER 11, 1855. SPIRIT OF THE 1 ÜBLIC JuURNAL3. previous to the attack, we know that the Russians were availing themselves of their newly-constructed floating bridge to convey large reinforcements of men and artil lery across the harbour from the north. The antagonists mustered their utmost disposable strength on both sides for the death•grapple. For three days and nights did the allies continue to pour an unintermitting storm of shot and shells upon the doomed fortalices, from artillery of unprecedented calibre and range. For a time the enemy continued to reply with a fire almost as heavy and vigor iuely sustained. At intervals might be heard above the roar of artillery the explosions of magazines ; the in termittent flashes of the guns were ontshone by the blaze of burning houses and ships. At noon of the fourth day, after a temporary lull, the assailants rushed tothe atta?lc under a salvo from all their batteries. Next was heard in fierce and rapid succession the sharp cracks of thou sands of rifles. A deadly band to hand struggle ensued as soon as the columns of the assault crowned the crumbling walls and mounds of the defences, and then again the Russian artillery opened with redoubled roar. Tne immediate result appeared doubtful. The Russians, unable to regain the Malakhoff, receded from that posi tion ; the croons which had assaulted the two Rei ans and the Central Bastion retired within their trenches. There was a brief pause on both sidesto recruit exhausted nature. Then arose from within the fortifications, in rapid succession, the explosions of magazines, and these volcanic eruptions had scarcely ceased when the shades of night were lit up by the lurid glare of a burning town and a burning fleet. At an early hour of the morning all the southern forts of Sebastopol were left untenanted ; the broad waters of the gulf were interposed between the combatants of the preceding day, and their surface was only dotted at rare intervals by a few small steamers, the fragments of a broken bridge, and the toprnasts of sunken ships. The silence of exhaustion settled down on the scene of strife, where for four continuous days the roar of artillery, the crash of explosions, and the shouts of men preternaturally excited by the awful contest, had reverberated through the hollow ravines with deafening effect. Tile universal mind of London was last night fairly thrown off its balance by the announcement of the tri • utnphant issue of the dread struggle. For a time the rush of the multitUde to obtain early copies of the evening jour nals bore a strong similitude to an eineute. The excitement spread rapidly through all the crowded streets. From every church tower and steeple the bells rang nut the larurn of victory with deafening clamour. The French Embassy was the first to illuminate, and the example was followed in many places. All this exultation, after months of anxious expectation, was irresi-tible. All ranks, all ages, all temperaments were carried away by the spring-tile of contagious enthusiasm. By the time these lines meet the eyes of our readers the electrifying intelligence will have produced the same effect through every province of the United Kingdoms. We may say with the poet, "Now universal England getteth drunk" —at least with mental intoxication. But it behoves those upon whom has devolved the guiding of the reins of Government to preserve, amid this whirlwind of tem pestuous jubilee, a tranquil mind and a relentless pur pose. The triumph has been dearly bought by long months of suffering, heroically endured by our noble army, and by a lavish expenditure of life, and it is yet incomplete. The foe whose insatiable ambition has dis turbed the peace of Europe must be incapacitated from renewing his outrages for a long period. His navy in the Euxine has been destroyed ; his arsenal, where was fabricated and repaired the artillery which enabled him to make so protracted a defence, has been reduced to ruins and wrested from him ; his warlike stores have been in a great measure wasted and exploded. The troupe which have been driven back from the Tchernaya, and forced to recross the harbour of Sebastopol, are doubtless dismayed and dispirited. But he has still a numerous army in the field, covered by the inlet of Sebastopol, the fortifications which bristle along the heights on its north side, and the entrenchments which extend from those strongholds along the Mackenzie heights to the base of the mountain range that over hangs the road to Simpheropol. The blow which has been struck ought to be followed up before the enemy has time to recover from it. The Russian army in the Crimea must be harassed and assailed until it is forced to sur render. No mistaken generosity must be displayed to wards a power whose threatening ambition has for nearly half a century bung like a dark thunder-cloud over Europe, and has at last burst in storm. Our armies have done their duty, and are ready to do it again ; the nations are still animated by the same deliberate resolve with which they entered on the strife ; it is for the, Govern ments to take care that such heroism and self-sacrifice shall not have been displayed in vain. Now, behind these forts the Russians had constructed a formidable second line of earthworks, heavily armed, which commanded all the works in front, with the ex ception of the Malakhoff Tower, and this exception was due to the over care of the Russians, who, in their anx iety to strengthen the Malakhoff, had built its works in three tiers, the one rising above the other, whereas the Redoes were constructed with only one tier of guns. The consequence of this was, that when the French swarmed on to the first tier of the Malakhoff, the second tier saved them from being hurt by the fire of the works in the rear of the Tower; arid, in like manner, when they attained the second tier, the third saved them in its turn. Consequently thousands of men thronged its ramparts, protected from the Russian fire. The combat raged on the fl anks, where the enemy could only attack them with his musketry, and their own rifles and brilliant impetuosity were too much for him. Under the protec tion of a galling fire from the French, their sappers slipped mend the work, threw up an entrenchment, and thus, effectually covered on all points, the whole work was theirs. Here, then, to brave men success was as natural as their own enthusiastic courage, but alas ! upon other points courage availed not. The gallant assailants of the Redan and of the Central Bastion no sooner had carrie these works, as they did triumphantly, than they found themselves exposed to a terrific close fire of grape, : which rendered life impossible. The forts, built in one exposed tier, were open to, the full range of the secsnif line of earthworks, and in vain our gallant men, in yeti our chivalrous allies, tried to bold their position. They would not retreat, but were swept'., away as corpses by the pitiless storm, of gr* pre tmacity of our struggle may be easily concei v ed' sifiti4lt is known that in car rying, and in endeavouring to hold, that one Redan, our loss amounted to two thousand men. Our allies, and we ourselves had, therefore, to retire from these points ; but the Malakhoff was in the hands of the French, sod that was everything. The proof of that is in the result. The Russians set at work, at once, to burn and destroy. They sunk or burnt their ships, and the latest accounts left them suffering under the fire of our bombs, but still exploding mines in all direc tions, and raising such havoc, that General Pelissier de cribes Sebastopol as one vast circle of conflagration. The Russians then escaped en masse, breaking the bridge they had recently constructed, and without time to carry off their killed and wounded, for whose re moval Prince Gortschakoff was compelled to solicit an armistice. The naval power of Russia in the Black Sea is thus annihilated, and the huge arsenal the Czar had con , stracted at so much labour and expense is utterly ruined and destroyed. We have nothing to fear from the North Fort. It will soon be ours. We command its fate with certainty. It cannot hold a large garrison, and the troops encamped near it or in its neighbourhood are in a most precarious condition. The army of General Liprandi, on Mac kenzie's Heights, is in great want of water, and provi sions are scarce. In the southern side of Sebastopol great quantities of provisions must have been destroyed, and on the north side there are no sufficient places of depot for any sufficient amount of stores. The read to the North Fort is commanded by our position at Eupatoria, to which we are now free to transport large and adequate forces to cut off the com munications of the fort, to take the armies in the rear, and menace the safety of every Russian in the Crimea. Of two things, one, either we shall menace their posi tions, and force them to battle or capitulation ; or they will play the desperate game, and at once attack us with a view to a final struggle. We are ready for them, and doubt not the result The consequences of the fall of Sebastopol will be im mense, both strategically and politically. Our enemies Lave received a great blow, and many of our friends will probably be roused to a more lively sense of their posi tion and our own. Let us not boast, but ascribe the victory to that Power to whom alone it is due ; but whilst we deplore our losses and those of our gallant Allies, let us resolve that our sacrifices shall not have been made in vain ; that the torrents of blood shed in the cause of right shall, by the blessing of Providence, not have been spent in vain ; and that so far as in us lies we will steadfastly pursue our righteous and single object—not deluded by false protestations of anxiety for peace, but determined to secure on firm and lasting bases the restriction of Russian power and the future liberties of Europe. THE FALL OF SEBASTOPOL. (From the Times of this dcsy.) On Saturday, the Bth of September, within a few days of the anniversary of the landing of the allied forces in the Crimea, and 316 days after the opening of the be sieging batteries against Sebastopol, on the 17th of Octo ber, 1854, a final and victorious assault was made upon the southern part of the town. Before night the French flag waved in triumph upon the Malakhoti Tower, which had fallen before the indomitable courage and perse verance of the assailants, and within a few hours more the Russian garrison had evacuated the Karabelnaia suburb and the southern portion of the fortress, after blowing up the magazines and principal works, setting fire to the town in many places, and then endeavouring to withdraw by the bridge across the harbour from this terrific scene of devastation and defeat. So fell Sebas topol. The catastrophe surpasses in horrible interest all the preceding scenes of this gigantic contest. The co lumps of the allied armies, combined in a fourfold attack, struggled all day with equal valour, though with un equal success, against the principal points marked out for assault. The extreme right of the French attack was directed assainst the work called the Little Redan, which was - at first carried by the impetuosity of our allies, though they were subsequently driven back by the fierce resistance of the Russians. The second and principal assault of the French army was against the Malakhoff, which was carried by storm, and determined by its fall the fate, not only of the day, but of the siege. A third attack was made by the British forces on the Great Redan, and, although we learn that the salient angle of this formidable work was at one moment carried and occupied by our troops, it must he added that they were subsequently driven out of it by the fire of the Russian batteries which commanded it, and this check in some degree diminishes the exultation which will be felt in this country at the triumphant termination of the siege. The French columns on the left also assailed, in the fourth place, the Central Battery, but failed to establish themselves in the work. We have no doubt that every man who attacked the defences of Sebastopol on that eventful day fought with the same undaunted gallantry and the same determination to carry the place or to perish in the attempt; and although the results of these several attacks were unequal, all were animated by the same spirit and contributed to the great result. The first prize of this glorious victory belongs of right to our gallant allies the French, since the Malakhoff Tower, the key of the main position, fell before the vigour of their assault ; but with that chivalrous feeling which is the noblest bond of men who have fought and conquered together, the names of all those who carried the rugged defences of Sebastopol deserve to stand side by side on one page, and no invidious distinctions shall sully or lessen their common renown. The Russians on their side unquestionably defended the place with the utmost determination, and on inure than one point they had the advantage over the besieg ers. But it was the courage of desperation, for this effort was their last. No sooner was the outer works taken, which laid the town and the port at the mercy of the allied forces, than the men-of-war and steamers in the harbour were all set on fire, blown up, sunk, or destroyed, either by the fire of the allied batteries, or by the orders of the Russian authorities. Such was the fate of the Rus sian Black Sea fleet, on which the Imperial Government had expended incalculable sums of money and incessant labour—that fleet which two years ago threatened the very existence of the Turki s h emp i re , but whose-solitary naval achievement was the atrocious outrage upon a far inferior force at Sinope. Of the authors of that nefarious attack what remains ? The Emperor Nicholas sleeps in the vaults of St. Peter and St. Paul, no loneeer conscious of the chastisement his wicked ambition has brought down on his empire and his heirs. The admirals who com manded and the crews who fought on that occasion have most of them fallen in the batteries of Sebastopol. The very ships for which Russia contended at the Confer ences of Vienna as essential to her dignity and power are torn plank from plank and scattered upon the waves. The dockyard and arsenal were already, on Sunday, in possession of the allied troops ; Prince Gort schakoff had, it seems, solicited an armistice, though we know not whether it was granted ; but his troops were hurrying away with the utmost preeipitation ; and, con sidering the moral and physical results of such a defeat upon the remnant of his army, it may be doubted whe ther the Russian General can attempt to make any fur ther stand on the north side of the harbour. These great events terminate the siege of Sebastopol, properly so called, for the allied armies have achieved within the last three days the grand objects of their en terprise. They have wrested from the whole military power of Rus,-za a fortress which she had converted into a place of extraordinary strength and defended wibh in numerable hosts of her best troops. They have annihi lated the Laval power on which she relied to secure her authority from the shores of the Caucasus to the mouths of the Danube. But, above all, they have shown the servile and credulous nations of the. East that the Powers now paramount in the world are not those of fanaticism and barbaric absolutism, but those of liberty and of civilisation. ln this struggle Sebastopol became at once the test of strength and the reward of victory. To reduce it by force of arms was to overthrow that co lossal fabric of Russian influence which a century and a-half of rapine and intrigue had called into being, until it overawed the surrounding nations and threatened the independence of Europe. While the expedition to the Crimea offered theincalculable advantage ofcircumscribin g within a few square miles of the enemy's territory all the horrors of war, and of staking the strength of four empires on a single point, the result of our victory is as boundless as the globe. It tells the world that the alli ance of England and of France has stood the test of war fare by the sufferings of the camp and the perils of the fie:d. It assures mankind that their united policy can impose its will and execute its resolutions, even though the timid stand aloof, and though men of baser minds may abandon the cause of their country in her hour of need. We owe our success in no slight degree to the unwavering firmness with which the Emperor of the French has pursued this enterprise and adhered to the policy that dictated it. But we owe it no less to the clear aed unanimous resolution of the people of England, whose mind was made up that this thing was to be done. In the course of these events, which broke in so sud denly on our wonted avocations, we have had much to learn and much to bear. At times the tedium of sus pended excitement became almost intolerable, and more than once the fainthearted or the factious lost confidence in the result. Yet what is the fact ? What is it we have done ? A year has not yet elapsed since the allied armies set foot in the Crimea. Within that time they have won three pitched battles, and twice assaulted a fortress of extraordinary magnitude. They have encompassed the works of the enemy with trenches extending over more than 30 miles of ground ; they have armed these trenches with the heaviest ordnance, and kept up so incessant a fire that not only an incalculable amount of projectiles has been consumed, but five or six siege trains have been worn out. They have created at Kainiesch, Eupatoria, and Yenikale three military stations which the Russians have not dared to assail, and Balaklava has become a populous mart. A railroad connects the harbour and the camp ;an electric chain hinds the Crimea to Europe, and conveys to us in a few hours the tidings of these triumphant suc cesses. Upwards of 2 00,000 men encamped within the lines of the Tchernaya have been conveyed thither and are daily fed, clothed, and housed from the resources of Western Europe. All this has been effected in spite of the rigour of winter, the beat of summer, and the dis tance of 3,000 miles from our shores, and within one little year from the sailing of the expedition the leading objects of the campaign are accomplished and Sebastopol is in our power. The military and political results of this event open a new chapter in the history of these traisactions to which we shall shortly take occasion to revert, but, be they what they may, the grand fact now before us justifies the confidence we have never ceased to feel and rewards our hopes, for within 12 months from the commencement of this enterprise Sebastopol has fallen, and the power of Russia in the waters of the Euxine is at an end, ( Front the Daily News of this clay.) All the south side of th e h arbour of Sebastopol is in the possession of the Allies —not a single Russian re mains there except as a prisoner. To enable our readers to form as clear a conception of the process by which this important issue has been obtained, as the curt tele graphic despatches admit of, we submit to them a resume of the operations from the moment of re-opening the bombardment. The French and English batteries opened their fire at daybreak on the sth Inst. The bombardment was continued all that day and the next without slacken ing. On the night between the sth, a Russian two.decker was set on fire by a shell, and burnt to the water-edge. On the afternoon of the 7tb, another Russian frigate was set on fire and destroyed. A great explosion was heard from theßussian worksabout midnight, supposed to have been of a magazine on the north side. On the morning of the Bth a great fire was observed to be burning about the middle of the town of Sebastopol. At noon on the same day a simultaneous attack was made on the Malakhoff, the Careening Bay Redan, and the Central _Bastion by the French ;on the Redan by the English. The two first mentioned works were carried by assault, and our gallant allies made good their position in the entrench ments of the Malakhoff, but were forced to retire from the Careening Bay Redan by the heavy fire of the enemy. The attack on the Central Bastion proved unsuccessful. The English carried the salient of the Rcdan,, but were forced to retire before the enemy's artillery and his powerful reserves. -General- Pelissier - oays, Our loss was severe :" General Simpson, " The casualties, I re iret to say,-are somewhat heavy." On the morning of the 9th it was found that the Russians bad evacuated the South Side. During the preceding night they had blown up their magazines and set fire to the town. As soon as their troops were' withdrawn, the bridge connecting the south side of the harbour with the north was broken np. All the Russian men-of-war in the harbour were destroyed during the night. General Simpson states that they were "burned ;" Sir E. Lyons, that they were 1 Q sunk."

After a defence of eleven months, con ducted, it must be admitted, with remarkable ability, and sustained with unflagging energy; theiffletiy have abandoned the south side of Sebastopol, aftei firing the town, magazines, and shipping. It is the well-known practice of the Russians, when a place becomes no longer tenable, to carry out the work of destruction on all sides, so as to leave nothing to the assailants but smoking and ruinous heaps, and it appears they have not departed from that practice in the present instance. The de spatches of General Pelissier and of General Simpson give, so far, but a mere outline of the operations and their grand result. We learn that the assault was de livered at the Great and Little Redan, the Malakhoff, and the Central Bastion. The French carried by storm the redoubts of the Malakhoff, together with the Lesser Redan ; but they failed to carry the Central Bastion, although attacked twice ; meanwhile the English carried the salient of the Great Redan. The French found it impossible to hold the smaller work, in consequence of the irresistible fire of artillery which swept it, nor did the English succeed in their first assault upon the Great Redan, No sooner, however, were the French firmly installed in the Malakoff than the enemy must have seen that, the game was up. That work commands and enfilades both Redans and the entire eastern portion of the town, while it is in its turn com manded only by Mount Saponne, which is in possession of our gallant allies. There is a heavy battery immedi ately inside the Malakhoff, mounting, it is said, 800 guns. It was anticipated that this formidable work would have rendered the occupation of the Malakhoff impossible, but the Russians seem to have turned it to little purpose. The fact is that the Malakhoff is nothing else than the key of the whole position. The enemy seem to be quite conscious of this, and to have taken their resolution, once its possession by the French had been secured, to abandon the town, and throw them selves into the defences of the north side. At whatever cost achieved —and the carnage must have been terrific—the ospture of Sebastopol is a splen did success, and one on which, with the deepest sin cerity, we congratulate the country. In the absence of all particulars of the numbers engaged and the various features of the assault, it is impoSsible to do more than speculate upon them. Our allies, no doubt, displayed that fiery courage which has so often borne the French eagles to victory. Our own troops, we are satisfied, be haved, as they ever do, with determined courage and un flinching resolution. United, they have, after a struggle as arduous if not as prolonged as any in the history of sieges, planted their ensigns on the ruins of the Gibraltar of the Euxine. They have seized the reward of months of privation, watching, and patient endurance. The Rus sian boast and the Russian falsehood are alike unavail ing. The enemy has been signally routed in the field, and he is now driven from the defences which he flat tered himself were proof against the united arms of the allies, which he boasted would defy the armies of the earth. The effect of this glorious news will be electrical. It will scatter the delusion of Russian invincibility, and will ruin the confidence of the Cabinet of St. Peters burg. True, the Czar and his advisers may have looked for this catastrophe, but the actual event will for the time confound them. It will be seized at Vienna, no doubt, as an opportunity for pressing negotiations for peace, and we have a Government but too willing to listen to overtures, however insincere and worthless. But let no man imagine that the fall of the southern defences of Sebastopol will change the fixed policy of Russia, or afford as yet the opportunity for an honour able and secure peace. It is too probably but the true commencement of the war—the first great event of a struggle that the next 10 years may not see concluded. It is good earnest of future conquest—a well-directed blow at the vulnerable heel of Russia. ( From the Morning Post of this day.) The great southern stronghold of Russia exists no more. Its arsenals are ruins—its forts shapeless heaps —and the vast fleet, built at such cost, and cherished with such pride, is burnt or sunk, without one excep tion. As we indicated yesterday, the possession of the Malakhoff Tower placed the Allies at once in the position of commanding the whole of Sebastopol. So strongly, indeed, was this felt by the Russians, that without de lay, after having lost the Malakhoff on Saturday after noon, they proceeded to sink all their ships, tot destroy he utmost possible s e o v u er t y he th rn ing sid t e ha o t f a s ll e o h w as e t d op o o f l iwt,ithantd to evacuate the speed. Our success is as complete as it is rapid ; and, to un derstand it aright, it may be well that we recapitulate the events which immediately led to it, adding to the outline of the official statements such information as we have best reasons for believing to be accurate. After a tremendous bombardment, which was kept up unremittingly on Thursday and Friday, the Allied Generals gave the word for the storming of the forts on Saturday, at mid-day. Then ensued what is historically known to be the most fearful scene iu the hideous pro gress of war. Thousands of gallant men rushed to an almost certain destruction —the more terrible in appear ance that it was concentrated in so small a space. The English attacked the Redan. The French assaulted the Central Bastion, the Redan of Careening Bay, and the Malakhoff Tower. The last attack was alone successful from causes which our readers will at once appreciate, and which we are most happy in being able to state, as such elucidation at once clears away the apparent disparity of success be tween ourselves and our noble Allies. The_Malakhoff Tower is, as is w ell known, the highest point of the fortifications which defended Seba s t o p o l. It is flanked on either side by the grand Redan, th e o bj ec t a the Eaglieb attack; and the Red= of C ann i ng DaY (From the Times of this day.) We would much rather not be under the necessity of believing that there are some at home to whom the glo rious news from the Crimea will be a disappointment. It is indeed with the greatest difficulty that we can ima gine the state of those minds that have blundered into so morbid and ridiculous a position. Yet we cannot doubt the fact. These persons, drawing largely on the obscurity and uncertainty of the future, and encouraged possibly by some sinister auguries of their own, have dwelt incessantly on the delay and comparative failure of our military operations—on the patriotism and devo tion of the foe—on the inexhaustible extent of his re sources—on the presence of a religious idea on his side, and the absence of it on our own—on the fatal neglect which, in a way known to none but these mystic politi cians, had converted England and France into the authors of a new war, instead of the insulted, aggrieved, and threatened parties in an old one. On these and ' other topics, fabricated in a workshop of their own, and more or less unintelligible to ordinary people, this select knot of politicians have brooded and declaimed till they have forgotten they are Englishmen. They cannot but think that a great misfortune has happened to England and to the common interests of humanity in the fall of Sebastopol. On Mr. Gladstone's own premises, that event which this day fills with honest joy every sound heart among ourselves and our noble allies is the ti iumph of criminal ambition, obstinacy, and revenge. Accord ing to him and his handful of political associates, a hide ous crime has been perpetrated, and the flames of Sebas topol, a ith the thousands who lie buried in its smoulder• ing ruins, cry from the ground for vengeance upon IIF. As far, indeed, as regards their own country, there is one small consolation. In the plain, modest language of the British Commander-in-Chief, the French suc ceeded in their main attack, while our attack failed. But for this the gentlemen we refer to would scarcely wish to show themselves in public during the present re joicing. To the air of satisfaction which every English face will wear this day, notwithstanding the destiny, not to call it by a higher name, which has given the palm of victory more to our gallant ally than to our own arms, these gentlemen are now able to reply, " You have not much to beast of ; it was not you that did it." This saving clause in the victory will render their ex ietence tolerable for the present, and of course we can not but be content that such able and excellent men should have some encouragement to live a little longer, and to hope one day for some event more entirely ac cording to their wishes. As for the people of England, in the broad sense of that word, which we will not allow to have any excep tion, they will rejoice on this occasion with a deep, a chastened, and a rational joy. They now know more of the horrors of war than they did a twelvemonth ago. They have passed many months of anxiety and grief, and have been brought to the verge of despondency ; they have learnt that they must make great sacrifices, and expect great reverses ; and, what is even more, many, very many, have had the sorrows brought home to them in the loss of near and dear friends. But people who have suffered so much, so cheerfully, so hopefully, and with so increasing a determination to persevere at all costs, are better able to appreciate suc cess when it comes. We all know by this time that we cannot snatch a victory ; we do not come upon it by lucky chance. That would, indeed, be robbing it of its highest significance. There have been many great dee.is of heroism which to this day live in fame. There have been many national deliverances which, after the lapse of centuries, still claim our personal gratitude. But in all these the splendour of vic tory shines on a foil of disaster and death. Men tion any name of glory in the annals of Greece or Rome, of England, of France, or of any other nation of Europe, and that name only serves as a torch to throw light on a long period of unsuccessful labour, unrequited sufferings, and unredeemed losses. None have lamented and remonstrated so much as we that we do not bring our vast mechanical resources more to the sparing of our men. There was a time when we did hope that possibly we might compound with money and the toil of the ar tisan for the blood of the soldier. The result, however, shows that the character of war and the game of the battle-field are much the same as ever. It is still life that is staked, and personal courage that must carry the day. When the artificer and the engineer have done their best, there remains the contest of man with man. In that contest the utmost we can hope for is somewhat less loss on our side than that of our foes. With that whole some conclusion forced upon us by bitter experience, we are in a better condition to read the glorious news that Sebastopol has fallen to the arms of the allies. After the lessons of this long struggle, it would be vain to exaggerate the success, even were there any reasons for doing so. Our armies now stand on a heap of ruins. As far as the skill of the Russian engineers could devise it, not one stone is left upon another of the vast works south of the harbour ' • and we may be sure that, in the even t o f th e Russians finding it necessary to retire from the north, they will complete the ghastly amphitheatre, and from thu water's edge the Western conquerors will see nothing but blackened mounds, shattered walls, and many a hideous spectacle of mortal decay. What next—whether we shall complete the work of destruction, or establish within its circle some portion of our vast host, or whether trusting to the force of that host and the abundance of our supplies, we shall drive the Russian out of the Crimea, and hold it against him, — is possibly not yet decided on. But we are satisfied that the only way to bring the war to a close is to carry it on with all our heart and soul, all the opportunities in our reach, and all the means in our power. We are tied to no terms, except such as the allies may have agreed to between themselves, and such as, in the exercise of their discretion, they may think best for the security and peace of the world. The only object, then, that we need at present recognise is to reduce the enemy to the lowest possible condition, and compel him to sue for his very existence. Let England know that we have to deal with a foe who knows no rule but necessity, and who will only_be restrained from resuming his long-cherished BCheroo of universal dominiou by the want of power and T x.,EIC OF THE FRENCH FAIR, AND LAST WEEK BUT TWO OF THE SEASON.
