LONDON, FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1855. The Newspaper, Postage, _and_ Stamp Duties Bill has been again postponed. The Chancellor of the Exchequer promises that, on this day week, or sooner, if possible, he will be prepared to state the course he intends to pursue with reference to the measure, and to fix a day for its discussion. Be it so. It cannot be expected that the Right Honourable Gentleman should, like a new foot man, at once assume the cast-off garments of his predecessor, and, without suitable alterations, wear liveries shaped out for a person of very different proportions. He would, indeed, be a bold man who should, without due consideration, undertake the ,responsibility of all Mr. GLAD sroxis measures, and determine to force on the House, per fan aut nefas, the opinions of that crotchetty financier. It is true that some degree of inconvenience may be experienced from the prevailing uncertainty on the subject. But its removal would be dearly purchased by hasty and improvident legislation on such a topic, where there could be " vestigia nulls retrorsum"—no possibility of retracing the path which had been too recklessly entered on. We confess that we cannot accept the measure as an unmitigated boon either to the press or to the community. On the contrary, we believe that a larger amount will be realised by the Ex chequer than under the existing regulations, an that the chief effect will be to substitute infericu local publications not merely for metropolitan but for well-conducted and respectable provincial journals. We gladly recognise the value of the labours of our provincial brethren, and the well established reputations which, without distinction of party, they have, generally speaking, acquired, and which we are proud and happy to say has rendered the British newspaper press second to none in the world. Now, without ascribing the elevated position achieved by the Fourth Estate to the operation of the existing law, or for a moment supposing that its efficiency has been promoted by taxation, we may yet demur to any sweeping change that might materially impair its power or deteriorate its quality. If the Stamp Duty is to be unconditionally struck off we shall thankfully accept the boon, and unhesitatingly meet the increased com petition. But we are called on, in return, to sur render a privilege long sanctioned by the Legis lature and the country, which, as asserted in the resolutions of the newspaper proprietors, "is a fair equivalent for the stamp, and tends to equalise the diffusion of information through the whole conar aun i ty. ,, Is net the price too high for the alleged conc elai ,i, 1 31 We believe that, on in vestigation, it will be considered by every disin terested and unprej u di ced Person in the same light that it has already been re gar d ed by the newspaper proprietors —that it would, teed in reality not to cheapen, but to enhance the coat of valuable publications." We do not say that there may not be very con siderable improvements on the existing ay , tera ~ n ot be introd umi that decided ameliora tions may but, in a question of such vital importance, each point should be strictly scrutinised, and all its probable consequences accurately weighed. We must not too hastily jump at any conclusions that may be suggested, or say that because a direct impost is removed we should therefore unhesita tingly accept an indirect charge, more onerous in its nature and practically more expensive to con sumers than the old burden, to which we had become in some degree accustomed. We are, therefore, disposed to give the new Financial Minister full time for mature considera- tion, that he should be enabled to ponder on all its m t po 34 and to examine it in all its varied Phases. He cannot do so while his mind is still :1 3t1241 .71 - #.ll the ways and means, While he is be. • kp - V,4211; L.& 1,1 1 : 1 1" 4 4, L 0. • ; MARCH 9, 1855, THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, D— -IkURY-LANE.—Lessee, Mr. E.

If he desire to occupy an independent position, to act in accordance with his conscientious convictions, he has an arduous task to accomplish, and should not be hurried or rudely disturbed on matters for which there is no peculiar urgency. If, on the other hand, he is contented to act as a mere " warming-pan" for Mr. GLADSTONE, a " locum, tenons," who is will ing to act as deputy until it suits the other, to resume the situation he voluntarily abandoned —if his only desire is to provide a rechauffee of what had already been dished up by the financial chef, then the matter may go on. But, if on on the contrary, Sir G. C. Lewis aspires to a more honourable as well as a more arduous position, he should be allowed every reasonable opportunity to master the diffi cult subject. Under such circumstances, and tc obviate as speedily as possible the inconvenience of suspense, let him without any delay announce the adjournment of the bill, not for a week or fortnight, but until next session. More important measures have been postponed "on account of the War," and we venture to say that by so doing he will not occasion any considerable disappoint ment either to newspaper proprietors or to the community at large. All honour to Manchester at last. Its rea sentiments are those of the nation, and in the expression of its sentiments it is in advance of the nation. It has often been so on domestic questions—it is so now on the great foreign ques- tion of the hour. Lord JOHN RUSSELL is accus tomed to deride the narrow views of the eloquent cotton representative of Manchester. If, however, he will trouble himself to read the report of the meeting recently held there on the Polish ques tion, ho will perceive that that narrowness way not learned by Mr. BRIGHT from his constituency ; indeed he will learn that some of Manchester's first men entertain views far more noble and com prehensive than those which he himself has advo cated, and, we fear, still advocates. Every meet ing there for peace crotchets—every meeting for gilding the crimes of the Gnu, and blackening the vir tues of the Allies has been a private or class meet ing —but a crowded meeting in the Town Hall, at which opposition was invited and promised a fair English hearing, a most admirable petition to both Houses of Parliament was unanimously carried. We refer to the petition with pleasure and pride, embodying, as it does, in the most con densed yet perspicuous form, the arguments which we have repeatedly and earnestly pressed upon our readers. With hardly inferior interest do we regard the masterly and manly speech of Dr. VAUGHAN, an author second to none in the vast extent of his .historical and general knowledge, in the independence and vigour of his judgment, and in the sobriety of his views. The manner in which be demonstrated the inevitableness, the justice, and the solid -advantages of the War, could not but command the hearty assent of the large assembly, or of any other impartial assembly. The cotton weavers of Manchester, like the clo thiers of Leeds, are, as we now see, men of tho rough English hearts. They are not yet frightened by Mr. BRIGHT'S counting-house calculations, or his threats of citizen-shooting. When the Dr. urged the obvious and imperative necessity of a fifth point—" And that the ancient Kingdom of Poland be restored tom- ver true csnd proper istde. pendence "—and, again, when he appealed to them to bear with patience the sacrifices requisite to such a worthy termination of the War—when he exclaimed, "Patience, my noble-hearted country men ! The stout in heart know how to wait as well as to work, how to endure as well as to dare, to hope in the dark day as well as how to be sober in the bright one. Let us cast away the last taint of the sordid, the selfish, the servile, the fearful.! Let us count that we live only as we live, to be just, and generous and noble ! "—on both occasions the spacious room rung with loud and continued cheers. Manchester, then, like Bridgewater, Bath, and a fast-increasing list of places, has done her duty. Our Whig Plenipotentiary at Vienna, the Mi nister who connived at NICHOLAS'S digesting and assimilating Poland, as previous English Ministers had connived at the partition, can now have no pretext for ignoring Poland at the Vienna Confer ence. NICHOLAS has been excused, by Quakers and others, because he only followed, it was said, the wishes of his barbarous Tartar serfs ; much more reasonably may Lord JonN plead the wishes of his highly civilised and educated free country men. Lord JOHN, however, and the other Lords of the lordly Cabinet, well kno w that all England would exult as one man if he laid it down as an esseatial of peace that Poland be reconstituted. Our rulers know that there is no mistake possible here. Nowhere throughout the country has the name of Poland been mentioned without the heartiest wel come. Will our Cabinet serve England or Saxe Coburg ? That is the question.. Sincerely do we wish that they would try a dissolution. We be lieve the Coburgs would turn pale before the host of members who would be returned pledged to demand justice to Poland, as the barrier of Free dom against Czardom. The Government may be very anxious to get rid of the Sebastopol Com mittee, but a dissolution would assuredly bring them a house which would not burke the Polish question. We have more than once charged the blood of our soldiers on those who refuse to enlist and to use a Polish legion under the Polish colours— who sought mercenaries they could not get—and refused patriots who proffered their aid. Now, here is a well-vouched-for fact ; it ought to come before Mr. ROEBUCK ; it was furnished in a pri vate letter from a highly intelligent officer in the camp to a correspondent, who dares. not, for the officer's sake, divulge his name. Eight or La me thousand Poles in the garrison of Sebastopol offered to desert en, masse, and to serve any where, on being allowed to hoist their national flag and to recruit amongst their own country men. The Allied commanders rejected the offer ! These Poles, driven thus to despair, have been the most forward in every murderous sortie ! This is natural ; it was predicted by the author of the letter to the Emperor of FRANCE, supposed to Le M. PERSIGNY. It has been predicted by every writer on the Polish question. Rejected by the Western P owers , d es p a i r i ng o f aid from th o se to whom th e i r freedom would bo the b est and cheap est safe guard agai the Poles w ill be futurenst addneed Russian m aggression, maddened m into the enemies of the civilised freedom which they now long to defend. Let the widows and orphans, and bereaved relatives and friends of our soldiers weigh these facts. The blood of your slain was shed because Polish aid was and thereby turned against us. Poles were rejected because we waited on Austria ; we waited on Austria be .lause we are right royally wedded to G ermany, and must consult supposed German interests. Thousands have bled, and many more thousands arc clad in mourning, primarily because our Court and Cabinet Germanise, proximately- be- cause we refuse Polish legions, and Polish inde pendence ; refuse to paralyse the armies of our enemy, and compel those who long to fight for us to fight against us. Will this country endure such murderous Germanising longer ? Will not innumerable public meetings demand mercy to our soldiers, as well as atonement to Poland ? IONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The Liverpool cotton market ruled quiet yesterday. The sales amounted to 8,000 bales, including 6,000 American, 400 Pernam and Maran ham at sid. to Id., 400 Bahia at 6d. to 61d., 500 Egyptian at sd. to Bd., 700 Surat at 3d. to 31d., and 40 Sea Islands at Is. to 2s. 9d. per lb. There was a heavy market for Railway Shares, and prices declined. There has been a quiet market this week for colonial produce, but prices have been generally supported. British plantation sugar has met with a steady inquiry, and Mauritius has ruled firm. For refined the market has been dull. Plantation Ceylon coffee has commanded full rates ; native has ruled dull. Rice has been heavy, and 3d per cwt. lower, In spices very little has been done, and tea has remained at about previous rates. Rum is at lower value, cotton inactive, and saltpetre very little asked for. Cochineal has gone rather cheaper. Hemp has been nominally without alteration, and jute about 20s. per cwt. lower. The tallow market has been flat, but closes with more firmness. In referring to sugar, Messrs. Layton, Hulbert, and Co. state " Statistics of this article have undergone material change, and the stocks, which until lately showed an increase of 20,000 tons, appear now with an excess of only 7,481 tons ; this is to be accounted for by the great scarcity of arrivals ; but the change of wind has brought vessels freely into dock, and when their cargoes are taken into stock, the apparent deficiency will be again adjusted. Notwithstanding the small assortment of sugar on offer, prices have scarcely rallied, and sales show no improvement of value, unless for grocery descriptions, which continue scarce. Mauritius chiefly sold at steady rates ; good middling and good yellow grocery 345. to 365. per cwt. 12,000 bags Penang sold privately, and at auction 6,000 were disposed of at about previous quotations. Transactions in foreign have been limited. The quantities of Rmgal and Madras are nearly 4,000 tons short of the corresponding period of last year." The total stock of coffee on the 3d instant was 181,743 cwts,, against 227,068 cwts. at the same time last year. American Securities have been steady, at the • prices subjoined : Redeemable.

Sinking Fund .76 78 Accounts from Hamburgh state that large quan tities of colonial produce were being forwarded thence to Russia, where the want of supplies was greatly felt. As to the Danubian provinces, they appear to have been completely exhausted by the late struggle, no stocks of foreign staples being left even among the dealers in the towns. According to letters from Holland and the Rhe nish provinces, the inundations have been very destructive, and in Gelderland, Brabant, and Utrecht thousands of families were suffering in consequence. At many places on the Rhine, also, dykes had to be erected to protect the shore. This is " pay day" in the English Stock market, and there has beenvery little business doing, either real or speculative. The differences have been well met; especially considering the sudden reaction oc casioned by the death of the Emperor of Russia. Consols have been 92f to 931 for Transfer, and 93 to for Account. The " contango," therefore, has rather gone off. This morning the transfer books are closed for Bank Stock and Reduced 3 per Cent. Annuities. Exchequer Bills are ss. to 9s. premium, and India Bonds 14s. premium. Foreign Securities have been generally nominal. Mexican bring 201 I, being rather better. The chairman of the committee of Mexican bond holders has received th 3 following letter from Lord Woiehouse (Copy.) " Foreign-office, March 5, 1855. " Sir, —I am directed by the Earl of Clarendon to ac knowledge the receipt of your letter of the 12th ult., and to state to you in reply, for tike information of the com mittee of Mexican bondholders, that in answer to the re presentations which Mr. Doyle, her Majesty's Minister at Mexico, was instructed to make in behalf of the British holders of Mexican Bonds, the Mexican Mi nister of Finance has stated that, notwithstanding the great demands whieh have been made on the resources of the republic, in consequence of continued revo lutionary movements, he trusts that, by scrupulously respecting the fund which has been assigned to the bondholders, it will not only be sufficient for the pay ment of future dividends, but that a surplus will remain, out of which the arrears due to the bondholders may be paid.—l am, sir, your most obedient, humble servant, (Signed) " WODEILOUSE. " Charles M‘Garel, Esq., 27, Gresham-street." The agents of the bondholders at Mazatlan write, under date of the 14th January last, that they in. tended to ship 40,000 dols., by her Majesty's ship Virago, for the dividend fund. The Turkish Bonds have been firm at 79i to Funds have been received here for the payment of the April dividends. Dutch 4 per Cents. have realised 94k. The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 5 to 6 ; Mexi can, 201 to 20i ; Peruvian, 70 to 71 ; ditto Three per Cents., 50 to 51; Portuguese Four per Cents., 42 to 44 ; Russian Five per Cents., 99 to 101 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 89 to 91 ; Spanish New Deferred, 181- to 18-a ; ditto Three per Cents., 36/ to 37 ; ditto Certificates, 4i to 5 ; ditto . Passive, 4 to 41 _ _ There is a flat market for most of the English Railway Shares, the lowest prices of yesterday being, in many instances, current. The North- Western, South-Western, and one or two others, however, are firm. The Indian and Canadian lines continue to attract attention, and they are mostly steady. Scinde are premium. In the Foreign there are very few dealings. The Mines are dull and the Joint Stock Banks also, but in the miscellaneous there are an average number of transactions.

" Yesterday afternoon the first preliminary conferences took place. Prince Gortschakoff was not present." TRIESTE, MARCH 7. Intelligence from Constantinople comes down to the 26th ult. The Porte has received M. Barozzi, the envoy of the King of Greece. It is probable that a Turkish ambassador will be accredited to the Greek Government. Letters from Trebizond of the 19th February announce the arrival , of 2,000 Tunisians at Batoum. The Kurdish insurrection is almost suppressed. The Paella, governor of the province, has re stored to their families 17 Circassian children who had fallen into slavery. The uewss from Damascus of the lith February states that the Turkish authorities are endeavour- ing to effect an arrangement with the Arab chiefs, in order to put down the rebellion more promptly. The intelligence from Athens is to the 2d of March. The English troops in Greece were pre•- paring to proceed to Malta to complete the forces destined for the Crimea. The editor of the journal Esperance has been arrested by order or the Greek Government, for having published nu insulting article concerning the Allied Powers. According to accounts from Asia, the Kurds, increased by the junction of several thousand Bashi-bazouks, had pillaged and set fire to the town of Monch. The courier of the French Consul at Erzerourn is said to have been mas sacred. A telegraphic despatch from the camp before Sebastopol, dated the 3d, mentions that since the 24th nothing particular had taken place. The Emperor has not left Paris as reported. He will review, on Saturday, two regiments that are under orders for the Crimea. FRANCE. PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING. An imperial decree nominates M. Duvergier, formerly batonnier of the Order of Advocates, a member of the Council of State. A letter from Marseilles of the sth says :—" The Byzantin arrived here yesterday from Constanti nople, with 196 sick. Sixty engineers of the Im perial Guard, 114 Sapeurs Pompiers from Paris, 11 foot gendarmes, and 64 military workmen arrived yesterday, to embark for the East. Seventeen Eng lish medical officers abuearrived, to embark on board the Euphrate, for the same destination." The Moniteur de la Flotte contains the follow ing letter from Varna, 20th ult. :—" Ottoman troops continue to be embarked with the greatest expedition, and all our vessels are in request for the purpose. The weather favours this operation. The Canada has taken from 1,000 to 1,100 Turks for Eupatoria, and the Orenoque left the other day with horses and artillery, having besides two merchant men in tow laden with military stores. The inspector general of the telegraphic service arrived here about a week ago ; he has caused the works of the Rus chuk line to be commenced, and it is expected that Varna will be ceinected with that place by the beginning of April Meanwhile the English contractor will sink the submarine cable which is to connect Varna with he Crimea, and the Walla chian Government will, finish the road from Bu charest to the Danube. Thus there will shortly be an uninterrupted telegraphic communication be tween the Crimea and Vienna, Paris and London." The Debats contains the following remarks on the late engagement mentioned in Admiral Bruat's despatch to the Frenci Government " The engagement took place in front of the right at tack, that is to say, on the side of the Arsenal, a por tion of Sebastopol called, as is known, ' the Sailors' town.' At the foot of the plateau is a deep ravine, very steep at the sides, which descends from the camp of the English to Careening Bay. This ravine covers the flank of the naval town to the East, and is the ex tremity of the attack of the besiegers to their right. It will be seen that this right attack is henceforth to be conducted with all desirable activity. The side of the Arsenal is the most vulnerable point of Sebas topol, or at least that which would exercise the most influence en the fate of the town. It is to be re gretted that the weakness of the English troops did not permit them to carry on the works of the right attack with the necessary celerity. But a French corps of two divisions is now charged with them. The English troops remain encamped in their old positions opposite Inkerrnan, above the ravine of the aqueduct, on the left bank of the Tchernaya, observing the enemy, and, if necessary, protecting the French from attacks 'from the outside. Let us add that, if the English cease to work in the trenches, they do not the leas pre serve their batteries, where from 80 to 100 large naval guns will open their fire on a given day, in conjunction with 150 French guns on the left and centre. The night attack spoken of by Admiral Bruat must have taken place on the night of the 22d ultimo. Prince Menschikeff, on his part, mentions the night of the 24th, and pretends that the besiegers were repulsed. It is difficult to reconcile two such dif ferent dates and versions, and we must await more de tailed reports. It appears that the affair was a very severe one. However this may be, we must conclude from this affair that the works and other siege operations against the Arsenal part of the town are now advancing with vigiour, and oblige the enemy's garrison to dissemi nate forces which it could previously have concentrated on one front."

The Committee of Inquiry into the condition of our Army in the Crimea was resumed this morning at the usual hour. The public, as on preceding days, crowded the space allotted to them. The first witness, examined was Mr. Clay, the owner of some steamers employed by the Government to take out stores ane. horses to the Crimea. He left England, he stated, in the Emperor, in October, and arrived in Balaklave. in December. The state of the harbour was very fil 4 .lly. We were not there in the storm. Saw the trans-poits in the harbour afterwards. Many of then► were considerably damaged. Waited upon Captain Christie, and represented to him the danger of anchoring outside the harbour. He took no apparent notice of this. A quantity of hay was floating in the harbour which bad been drifted in by the gale. There were two harbour masters, one of whom was Captain Keitb, and they did all in their power to alter the state of things which existed. Our stores were not landed for some time after their arrival, and the Cottingham remained in harbour for as much as three weeks before their cargoes were discharged. The reason assigned for this was that there was no person to take them away. Did not know exactly whose duty it was to receive these cargoes, or to whom they were assigned, but he presumed it was the Commissariat Department. The road from Balaklava to the camp was in a very bad condition, and was up to the knees in mud. Many of the horses used for the purpose of conveying stores, provision', and materials were in a very poor condition, and many of them died. In the camp there were com plaints of deficiency in the supply of provisions, and of the salt meat sent them. Saw many of the pri. vates eat it raw, which he understood they generally did. The cavalry horses were in a shockingly poor condition, and had been kept on such short forage that they bad eaten the manes and tails from each other's bodies. The men were dirty and verminous, but they seemed in very good spirits, and appeared contented in their avocations of but•buildieg, putting up tents, and cnokieg their soups. Saw the Scots Greys ; the men seemed hardy, but their horses were also in poor condition. Went over the Scutari Hospital in December last. The system of coaling steamers at Constantinople and Bala klava was -very bad. The Emperor, for instance, re quired 300 tons of coal to be put on board, and instead of that being done i❑ a day, as was the case at Malta, it was only put on board to the extent of about thirty tons per day, and 35 tons was considered a good day's work. The vessel was consequently detained several days in the operation, and the Government were paying 1001. per day for her use, so that when detained ten days, as the Emperor had been, it involved a loss of 1,0001. The Government mode of shipping and transporting horses was very discreditable, such as the system pursued at Hull, where a large number of valuable horses are an nually shipped for the Baltic. They were shipped on the ballast and in bad weather could lie down. A horse could generally lie down in bad weather, but if he was unruly the groom could at once " sling" him, and so render him impotent from doing damage. The Govern ment method on the other hand was to " cook" them up in narrow boxes in which they could not lie down, and consequently they were upon their legs if the ♦oyage extended over six weeks. 'Many horses were lost owing to this system. Had little doubt that the cavalry horses in the camp were very much affected by the way in which they bad - been taken out. -Did not know whether the horses were insured. Saw some hay and corn taken out for them. The Emperor was generally engaged in special service in conveying the sick, in carrying troops, a.nd things of that sort. He always discharged his cargo at Balaklava. He had conversations with Captain 'Christie rela tive to the transport service which was badly organised. Capt. Christie, however, did not seem to be up to the mark as to know what he had to do. An active man would have done much better. He had some very clever clerks about him, particularly one of the name of Pritchard. He had never been in com munication with Commissary-General Filder. There certainly was some confusion between the commissariat and transport officers. The transport service was under the direction of Captain Christie, and his orders were necessary before a cargo could be landed. Saw a quan tity of offal in the harbour ; but he was not sufficiently acquainted with the matter to say that means might have been adopted for clearing it away. He should think that if an inducement in the shape of liberal pay had been held out to the crew of vessels lying idle in the harbour, they would have ren dered their services willingly in cleansing the harbour. The town of Balaklava was in a very filthy condition, and he had no doubt but that this accumulation of dirt 'and decomposed matter was instrumental in generating disease. He saw the Turkish camp when he was at Balaklava ; the men were sickly, and were dying in large numbers from fever and cholera—the latter pro bably induced by bad food. Some of the horses which died were buried, but numbers were left about the camp. Those which remained were as well treated as they could be. Some of the houses at Balaklava were inhabited: Mr. Commissary Mackenzie lived in one and Lord Raglan had another. He attributed the confused state of the transport service entirely to the want of labour and some system of superintendence, and he was sure it might all have been remedied by some alteration and a small out lay of money. He did not know Admiral Boxer who was in charge at Constantinople, but the accounts he heard of him were not at all favourable, and he was described as being a most disagreeable person to have anything to do with. If the various authorities at Ba laklava, the harbour-master, Captain Christie, or some of the naval authorities there, had consulted with one or two intelligent captains of the transport service, as to some arrangements for cleaning the harbour, it might have been done in a week. He did not know Mr. Com missary -General Filder. It was a matter of complaint amongst the captains of the transport vessels that they were detained in the harbour for days without being able to obtain orders. He knew of one case in which a vessel laden with hay was waiting for orders before she could discharge it, whilst there were great complaints of want of forage for the artillery horses in the camp. Visited Kaimiesh Bay, but was not acquainted with any of the harbour arrangements there. The Emperor was char tered for the transport of Lord Raglan's and officers' 'staff of horses, at the rate of 6501. per week. The vessel required very little fitting up for the accommodation for this purpose. The Messrs. Wigram bad a Go vernment contract for conveying horses, but he thought the Hull plan was far superior to their mode. He recommended to Captain Milne the advan tages of the Hull plan, but instructions were not re ceived to the effect that the Emperor might take the horses out in the mode he had referred to till she was on the eve of departure. The transports, when he was at Balaklava, were anchored across the harbour—which he thought was as good a way as any other. As to coaling vessels at Balaklava, he thought a corps of men might have been organised at Malta for the purpose of coaling steamers. Coaling was effected at the latter place entirely by manual labour, and good arrangement. He did not offer any suggestions to Capt. Christie with regard to clearing out the cargoes of ships, more especially because he did not afford him any oppor• tunity of doing so ; nor did he at all encourage him, otherwise he (witness) would have been very happy to have rendered him any assistance. He had seen the Transport Board, and he had hopes of the improve ments he had mentioned being adopted. It was not by any means too late, as there were no doubt many more horses to be sent out. The Em peror took out about 60 horses, 12 of which belonged to Lord Raglan, and be was aware of no casualty to any of them in the voyage. In fact, Lord Raglan's groom told him that his lordship's horses were as fresh as the day they were shipped at Woolwich. The Rev. E. G. Parker, chaplain of the Ist Division of the Army, was the next witness. BLILWAYS-FOR C4SH. fr. c. fr. c.

A letter from Berlin, of the Pith, in the Post Gazette of Frankfort, says : "The Emperor Alexander 11. has written to the King of Prussia a letter to announce his accession to the throne, and to beg of him to continue with Russia the re lations which existed between the two countries in the time of his father. The Dowager Empress has also written a letter to her brother, the King. In the despatch which arrived here on Friday, and which announced the death of the Emperor were the words pronounced by his Majesty in French, thanking our King for his friendship and fidelity, and entreating him to persist in the same sentiments. They began with Tell my brother Fritz,' but these words were omitted from the official publication, from motives of propriety. One of the most moving scenes which has occurred hero in connection with the death of the Emperor Nicholas has been the celebration of the service for the dead according to the Greek rites, in the chapel of the Russian Em bassy. The Grand Duchess Olga, dressed in the deepest mourning, was present, as was also her hus band the Crown Prince of Wurternburg, the King of Prussia,and all the Princes and Princesses of the Royal family. When the liturgy wasterminatedand the prayer offered up for the blessings of Heaven on the deceased, the priests extinguished the wax can(ll ,- !s, and the Dliciless 01•4::1 Pis() extingnisiliNl the candle which, according to the rites of her church, she had held in her hind.

CASUALTY.—SamueI (Prussian barque), for Jamaica, left Gravesend yesterday morning in tow, and in the Lower Hope she got in contact with a collier brig at anchor, and soon after filled and sank in 5 fathoms water. The Belgian Moniteur announces that the Court will go into mourning for a month from the 6th on the occa sion of the death of the Emperor of Russia. It is not intended to send the 32-pounder guns from Woolwich to Liverpool. They are to be put on board screw-steamers at the Royal Arsenal, and the steamers will proceed direct to the Crimea.
