Although the Indus duly arrived at Mar seilles on the 19th instant the official account of the fall of Sebastopol has not yet been received. It sppears that, although the Indus had loft dal:lava after the capture of the Malakhoff, and even the evacuation of the beleaguered city, she had held no communication with the shore after twelve o'clock on the Bth instant. Consequently, nothing more respecting the great event—for the vrticulars whereof the public is so anxiously waiting—has been learned than was previously known by means of the electric telegraph. The official despatches, containing the full par ticulars ' of the glorious event have, however, arfived at Marseilles, per the Telegraph steamer, and were yesterday forwarded at 1 p.m. to London. It is, therefore, almost certain that we shall have them in time for our ordinary edition to-morrow. At whatever time they may arrive / hey shall he communicated to the public without; a moment's eklay. We sympathise too deeply I with. the natural anxiety that must lac-; felt by all classes of the community ; more especially those who have friends or relatives actually engaged; to allow any procrastination in 1 communicating thi s most i nteresting intelligence. .1 We shall, therefore, forthwith publish the de spatches of General SIMPSON, and any other inte resting intelligence from the seat of War, no mat ter what may be the hour of their reception. The same spirit that prompted the publication of Lord RAGLAN'S despatches respecting the Alma, on Sunday, the Bth October last, induces us to snake the necessary preparation for similar exertions on the present important and interesting occasion. The vast amount of available stores which have fallen into the possession of the Allies in the cap tured city of Sebastopol, notwithstanding the ei.crgetic and almost desperate attempt of the garrison to destroy all that they could not suc e2ed in carrying away, proves beyond the pos.sir biiity of doubt the cool determination with which the 'Russian Covernment had planned the do struction of Turkey, and the appropriation of the asets of the " sick. man." The mere catalogue of the captured stores shows that the accumulation must have been a work of extraordinary labour ) and expense, spread over a long succession of years. A t the very.time when the late Cz.in was putting forward professions of great moderation, while he was pretending to be the conservator of the peace of Europe, he was secretly preparing for the hour When, casting aside the mask, he might exhibit hitiasi.2lf in his true colours, as the greedy and un scrupulous invader and conqueror of his neigh bout's territories—the despiser of public opinion —the true executor of the last will of the First PETI4,R. Notwithstanding the enormous wear and tear of thfe' wea p oe s and munitions of war, fully 4,000 cannon, generally of heavy calibre, 50,000 can non-balls, sundry hollow projectiles, and an immense quantity of gunpowder, have been re covered. There are also 500 anchors, 25,000 kilogrammes of copper, two steam-engines of 30-1 horn row or, and a considerable number of masts &.\ - vnt in — two for d e f ens i ve purposes . Th e elabo rate _finish of the docks—only completed after the arrogant MENSCIIIKOFF mission—afforded addi tional and conclusive evidence of the " malice prepense" with which an outlay so extravagant was 'cheerfully sustained. It could not by any possibility have been re quiti fel* the protection of the Russian territory. It must have been prepared for aggressive rather th au qb e ddfensive - warfare—one, of which Turkey would have been merely the first victim, but the real object whereof was to subdue Europe, and subject it to Cossack domination—to render, in fact, the Autocracy universal. Such facts will sup ply the best answers to the insidious arguments of the phi/o-Muscovites—will rebut the assertions of the Aberdeenites and Cobdenites, as to the pacific and truly honourable intentions of Russia, and also show that the " crumpling" II ar up at a moment's notice would be a more arduous task than the Member for the West hiding seemed to anticipate. Were a justifica tion of the War required—were it necessary to confute Mr. GLADSTONE, and to heap ashes on ihe head of Lord JOHN .RUSSELL—the mere ex -1 amination of the stores taken into possession, and the value whereof will be distributed amongst the gallant captors, would be all that could be re quired for any of those purposes. The docks, constructed with such enormous labour and expense, have, it appears, been spared by the fugitives. There was possibly a lingering hope that by some diplomatic juggle they may still be restored to the uses for which they were originally contemplated, and be made the founda ' Lion of new schemes against Constantinople. Should the Allies permanently maintain their position, and Russia be banished from the Crimea, as she ought to be, these great triumphs of en gineering art may be turned to great advantage. But, should there be the slightest possibility of the Crimea remaining to Russia, they should be totally demolished, so that not one stone should be suffered to remain standing on another. This may appear to many an injudicious principle, scarcely better than that of the " Ico noclasts," who suffered no consideration to arrest the work of destruction ; but it would be a just and necessary sacrifice, inasmuch as they were t i not constructed and will never be used for com mercial purposes, but can only serve to enhance the already too formidable strength of a Power ithat has proved itself the enemy of liberty and civilisation—the disturber of the general peace of Europe and of the world. What in the world have the unfortunate Poles done to the Times? There must be something amiss. With a measure of political dignity the great journal might shake his head at silly well-meaning politicians, who, like ourselves, see in restored Poland the only suitable termination of the pre sent War. But what can account for personal abuse of Polish refugees ? It is not natural to Englishmen to fight down—we leave that to Rus sian or Austrian brutality. We might be tempted to contemptuous language towards a beggar of our own country, whose artificial rags and dirt betrayed the imposition, but if the suppliant addressed us with an unmistake ably foreign accent, we should spare to the utter most the heart of a stranger. We shculd over , look what we could not endure from another in the expatriated wanderer. How is it, then, that lan English journal, boasting of European circu lation, should commit England by lampooning exiles—exiles, too, from the brutalities of NI VHOLAS, and with only the alternative of England or Siberia, perhaps the gallows ? The Times, by the instrumentality of its correspondents, and by elabo rate persiflage in its leaders, has descended to per sonal attacks on the habits and peccadilloes of the more distressed of the Polish exiles. Be it, that gentleinen into whose pockets successive Chancel lors of the Exchequer have contrived to throw the fiscal wealth of the country have been thereby too much elevated to endure a Pole in their en trance hall, yet we might expect such gentlemen 4 - to imitate the self-command and self-respect of , those born in good society. Supposing, too, that ir Poles, like Quakers, did endeavour to show that a man convicted of petty theft was Alone of their fraternity, sympathy with the feelings of a small body of exiles would have recognised the peculiar annoyance of one, almost of a family, Acting disgracefully. The Times would not commit itself, we are confident, to an attack upon the shifts to which needy exiles are driven, nor make it out to be almost a crime that any small 1 , and suffering class should attempt to maintain a ,blameless reputation, unless the said Times had some substantial reason. Why, then, does the [' Times bespatter the Polish exiles ? We imagine the reason must be a complex one—the goodness of the Polish cause, and the wish of our Government to throw it overboard, or rather not to take it on board. For some time the argument was merely ridicule of amiable enthu siasts and newly-fledged politicians. Into what Polish port would they pilot an English fleet, or would they take the ships overland, or march our troops through Prussia, and such sort of weighty jukes which ought to convince all the thoughtful. This seemed, however, to fail. Even the Prime Mi nister took up the very words of this journal and described Warsaw as a continental Sebastopol, and a standing menace to the liberties of Europe. To be sure he soon proclaimed that ho had not ' said a word about " the nationalities ;" still the Minister's words produced a strong impression. If Sebastopol must be taken to save the liberties of Turkey, much more Warsaw to save the liberties of Europe. Or was indeed Turkey to be set free at the cost of so much blood and treasure, and could not a little more be spared, now we were actually at work, to make the work complete ? Such thoughts were spreading, and now that Sebastopol is taken, in the exultation of the great victory they were yet more likely to spread. Poland cotverted from the danger of Europe into its bulwark, besides the righteousness and noble ness of the deed, is so common-sense a conclusion of the War that it must, like any other simple and great truth, gradually force itself on the minds of all. It is obviously the best possible ' thing for Europe, and if not done now the occa sion would not recur till it must cost tenfold what it now would. If banter, political vi ew o f th e case -w the next resort was to sneer a t suseless, then, th of the the unlucky Pol es the mselves. The goodn ess o f the cause necess itated such a n un - English course. Who would think of making the men wh o h ad been the laughing-stock of London the sentries and the advanced guard of Europe ! Nil baba infeiix paupertas durius in se Quam quod ridicules homines facit, and the cruel consequence of poverty has been as cruelly used. The device may be ingenious, but it is too palpable not to reveal itself to every reader, and too gross a violation of our best feel ings not to recoil upon the authors of it. Abus ing Polish exiles will injure neither them nor their cause. But why should any journal be so deter mined by fair moans or foul to keep Poland in the hands of Russia ? For the same reason, we ap prehend, which induced our G ov ernment in 1848 to keep Hungary in the hands of Austria, to al low of Russian intervention, and thus to precipi tate the present costly War. Oar Government is closely linked with Austria and Prussia, and it i 8 no secret that a staff officer of the " leading jour nal" is also in office under Lord PALMERSTON. Even if Lord PALMERSTON'S declaration about Warsaw betrayed his personal feeling, we soon after saw that there was a secret power over him forbadewhich . i his repea . ting , such language. AI AL.ERSTON s bound over, of oouise, to respect the policy of the COBIJILGS. Their policy is identical with that of Austria and. even of Prussia. Indeed the young princes of the latter country are deemed eves at this juncture, when Prussia is notoriously aiding Russia against England, fit visitors to the I young princesses of this country ! The Chevalier BUNSEN must quit us, but we must welcome a scion of the monarch whose anti-English and igno ble conduct is the loathing of our country and the contempt of all free nations. We believe that what we have indicated above is the true account of these otherwise unac countable personal attacks on the unlucky Poles. If Poland be reconstituted, however great the blessing to Europe, Austria must re fund much, and Prussia ought to refund more. Europe might breathe more freely, but two great despots must breathe more cautiously, and must part with their share of the villanous partitions. The German, that is German Court, influence in this country is all worked against such a result. That Prussia and Austria would lose what they ought not to have is the true reason why Poland must not be liberated, why a Polish Legion is still a dream, why our troops must suffer double losses, and middle Europe be left after all our sacrifice of blood and trea sure at the beck of the CZAR. The intermar riages of Royalty are the curse of nations. They doubly pledge despots to mutual support against their people, and neutralise the action of free countries. The CZAR has already wedded to his service half the potentates of Germany, and their people are paralysed and sold. Would that the influence of German marriages was felt East wards only ! Whether our Commanders were to blame in the recent affair at Petropaulovski or not, it is certain a valuable prize escaped them which, in all probability, would not have been the case, had they not had to sail so far to the scene of action, and that tho public have a right to demand why we have no colony or naval station on the north west coast of America, and why, when the oppor tunity offers, as it now does, no steps are being taken towards the occupation of Sitka and Petro paulovski. It cannot be said that the propriety of having a naval station on that coast has only just been recognised. A hundred years ago the import ance of such a station was generally admitted. Nor can it be urged that no other power set us the example, or that the want of one has not proved injurious to our interests. The existence of Sitka and Petropaulovski tells its own tale, as also does the valuable traffic monopolised in con sequence by Russia. The greatest maritime nation in the world, with no difficulties to en counter, and strong motives independent of the fur trade, to establish a station, has been suffered to remain without one, while Russia, that had not set foot on the coast until long after the English flag had traced the outline of the coast, and English commerce had pro jected a colony, and established a trade there, has, after contending with difficulties of no ordinary nature for a lengthened period, succeeded in establishing stations which give her the exclu sive command of a profitable trade and enable her to dominate over the North Pacific. There is something like infatuation in this neglect. Even if no apprehension of rivalry from Russia or sus picion of what she was aiming at existed, the convenience of a station and the resources of the country should have sufficed. A coast where the finest spars and wood of all kinds may be had for cutting and coals for digging, and where suitable harbours are to be found by hundreds, would seem to be worth looking after, and most probably would have been had our rulers not been so deeply immersed in party squabbles and in looking after their own interests. It is really monstrous that, while Russia has four important naval stations, fisheries, and internal communication throughout the whole of North Asia, with steamers at these stations and on Lake Baikal—everything necessary, in fact, to promote and protect a,valu able traffic—we have no station where our ships can be repaired from Lako Huron to the Pacific, nor a single steamer in Lake Superior, so that when our ships, sailing or steam, need repairs, they must return home or proceed to some distant foreign port. Among the Russian settlements on the coast Sitka aad Petropaulovski appear to be the chief. The former, in fact, is called the Odessa of the North Pacific, for all the stores of provisions from British America and elsewhere are collected in that Government station, which is fortified, gar risoned by Russian troops, and commanded by a Russian governor. At these two stations all the costly furs obtained in the north-west American colony are collected. The mode in which they reach Russia is as follows':—About every year a Russian man-of-war, 1,000 tons burden, and carrying a supply of military and naval stores, medicine, and other necessaries, leaves Cronstadt, and proceeds to Rio de Janeiro, from thence to Sydney, where supplies are taken in. Leaving Sydney, the vessel makes its way through the South Sea Islands to Sitka, where part of the cargo is discharged, and the store of furs there collected taken in. From thence the frigate proceeds to Petropaulovski, where the same pro cess is repeated. The home cargo is now com plete, and, with a million silver roubles worth of furs aboard, the vessel is steered homeward, rounding Cape Horn, proceeding direct to Rio Janeiro, and from thence to Cronstadt, from whence the furs are shipped to St. Petersburg. With the furs thus obtained Russia has contrived to secure the trade with China, opened by the comrades of Captain COOK, and the greater part of the commerce with Kiatcha is now carried on. Thus, it will be seen, the wisdom and persever ance of the Russian Government and our neglect have met their reward to our loss. Past neglect, however, is no excuse for present ; on the con trary, it ought to have stimulated Government to prompt and decided action. It is in their power at once to redeem a grievous error, and to deal a heavy blow on the enemy. This valuable fur bade should be t ski b advanced taken from o e ee uapgiaeidn .st s Russia, Nucoh n aac course.

Possible, cer tainly, but we would fain believe improbable. GENERAL SIMPSON.—It was confidently reporied yes terday that this distinguished General will be elevated to the rank of Field-Marshal, with, of course, a G.C.B. He has already received the Colonelcy of the 87th Royal Irish, vice Lord Gough, advanced to the Blues. THE HORSE GUARDS.—The Hon. A.

THE FALL OF SEBASTOPOL. Accounts from the Crimea to the 14th have reached us by way of Varna. On the 11th some small detachments of French troops entered Sebastopol. They found the streets full of ruins, and barricades erected in different parts. On the 12th the rest of the troops began to enter. Barricades and entrenchments extended almost up to the Cathedral and the great square, but became less numerous beyond the latter point. In the night of the 11th several small vessels of the Allied fleets attempted to enter the port by the side of the old Quarantine Fort, and the ob ,stacles at the entrance of the port were about to be removed to admit of the entrance of the large vessels. General Bosquet, whose wound is not serious, was the first to congratulate General Pelissier on being named a Marshal of France. It was rumoured in the camp that the Rus sians would not defend the northern forts. MARSEILLES, THURSDAY, SEPT. 20. By the arrival of the Telegraph we learn that Marshal Pelissier's report was not ready when the vessel sailed. Said Pasha was ill at Malta, and has returned to Alexandria. General Regnault St. Jean d'Angely, Com mandant of the Imperial Guard, has arrived at Marseilles, convalescent. The Gendarmes of the Guard, who are to quit the camp of Maslak on the 12th, will be replaced by the 84th Regiment. Admiral Bruat has occupied Phanagoria-Taman with 1, 200 marines. From Kars we hear that the investment still continues, Eight thousand cavalry, under Muravieff, are at the defile of Sagharli-Dai. Provisions are not as yet scarce. Bodies of Turks have also com menced camping in the vicinity of the beleaguered [Phanagoria-Taman (Telegraphed as Taman and Fanagoria) or Tmoutarakan, is a town of antiquity and importance, with a commodious haven and fort, on the Eastern shore of the Cimmerian Bos phorus (Straits of Kertch), about 150 miles east of Simpheropol, and 40 N.W. of Anapa. It is the port of transit between the Kuban and the Crimea. The inhabitants of the neighbouring mountainous regions, especially of Besslen, Temir goie, and Bjedoukha, resort here to trade, as do the Circassians. The trade of salt from the Kuban Liman, of honey, wax, butter, hides, wool, felt, &c., is concentrated at Taiman ; and hitherto also is imparted Russian linens, printed cloths, silks, Russia leather, iron, copper and tin utensils used by the Circassians and other tribes.—Vsevo lojekii, Diet. Geog. Hist. de Bussied We give below our despatch from the Crimea of the Bth, conveyed to Marseilles by the Indus. A telegraphic message from Marseilles states that the communication between the despatch steamer and Kamiesh was cut off for four-and-twenty hours before the boat finally left MARSEILLES, SEPT. 19. It was on the sth of Sept. that the fire was opened on Sebastopol. All tho French mortars were directed upon the Malakhoff, which was carried on the Bth after four hours' fighting. At the commencement of the action the Rus sian liner Twelve Apostles and a frigate were in flames. The Central Bastion and the Quarantine Bat tery were the first works which exploded. The Russians are massed on the north side, be hind Fort 'Constantine. M. Castagne, French Consul al Erzeroum, has died. Fuad Effendi has received from the Sultan the Medal of Merit. BERLIN, TH.IIRSDAY MORNING. The Emperor of Russia has, it is understood, abandoned his intention of visiting Poland. It is now said that, accompanied by the three Grand Dukes, he will proceed to Moscow and Nicolaieff, on his way to the Crimea. VIENNA, THURSDAY, Noox. To-morrow, or on Saturday, the Emperor of Austria will come hero for two days. HAMBURG, THURSDAY. Private intelligence has been received from Vienna, to the effect that Austria signifies her - willingness again to undertake the work of media tion, and proposes new conferences at Vienna. France has intimated a willingness to negotiate, but only at Paris. STOCKHOLM, SEPT. 16. In consequence of earnest representations made here by the British embassy respecting the quan tities of lead shipped to Finland via Haparanda, a Royal decree declares lead to be contraband of MADRID, SEPT. 19. The Cabecilla Tuvany has been killed in a ren contro with the Queen's troops, and the band he commanded has dispersed. M. Zayas was offici ally received by the Mexican Government on the Gth of August. LISBON, SEPT. 16, 5 P.M. The solemn inauguration of the reign of Dom Pedro V. took place this morning at the Cortes. His Majesty declared his adhesion to the policy of the former Cabinet, and confirmed the Ministers in their portfolios. On this occasion, for the first time, use was made of the electric telegraph in Portugal. The accession of the King was received with enthusiasm by the people. The English vessels of war Sanspareil, Nep tune, and Rosamond arrived just in time to salute the new King. FRANCE:. PARIS, THUPW4DAY EVENING. General Canrobert has been sr cannoned to Paris by telegraph. • It is rumoured that the Gene' -al is - to replace Marshal Vaillant as Minister of War ; the latter being obliged to retire from the Ministry on ac count of his health. The journals of the south are fill led with details of the despatch of troops to the Gni mea. The numerous transports assemb) (ed. at Marseilles and Toulon have received orders to proceed direct to their destination, without even stopping at Constantinople. The Moniteur of yesterday contains an article on the food questiov. in France ; it will be found translated in another column, and is worthy of at tention. The Moniteur also publishes the despatch of General Pelissier, which we published yesterday. Cardinal Donnet has issued a pastoral letter to his clergy, on the occasion of the fall of Sebastopol. After a just tribute to the bravery of the troops en gaged in that enterprise, he recommends prayer to the Divine Being for the speedy cessation of hos tilities. BOURSE, SEPT. 20.—CLOSING PRICES.

A letter from Odessa, of the 9th, in the Patrie, says : " Count Strogonoff, Governor-General of New Russia, was a few days back officially informed by the Minister of War that the Czar might be expected at Odessa from the sth to the 10th of October. This unexpected journey has given rise to a crowd of conjectures amongst the inhabitants of this place and the garrison. What is thought most likely is that the Emperor will proceed hence to the army of reserve which is being assembled in the government of Cherson, and pass the various corps in review, in order to inspire them with courage by his presence, they having fallen off considerably of late in their enthusiasm. General Luders, who returned here a few days back, left immediately on hearing from the Count of the approaching arrival of the Emperor, and proceeded to the head-quarters of the army of reserve at Nicolaieff, to give orders for the reception of his Ma jesty. Immense quantities of provisions descend the Dniester every day in flat-bottomed boats. Last week there were landed from the Liman of that river nearly 3,000 tons of bacon for the Russian troops in the Crimea. The provisions thus brought are placed on carts drawn by oxen, and are so conveyed into the interior of the Crimea. Hundreds of these carts, lam informed, may be seen overturned along the barren steppes. It is sup posed that 4,000 carts are daily employed, amidst the most extraordinary confusion, in conveying provisions and materials of war to the army of the Crimea." The Duc de Grammont, French Ambassador to the Court of Turin, has sent 500 f. to the committee for the testimonial to the Piedmontese army in the Crimea. Prince Napoleon visited Alderney, one of the Chan nel Islands, and where a harbour of refuge is forming, last week. Dr. Easton, surgeon of the Cossack, is expected in Edinburgh in a few days, from Odessa. Sir George Brown has left Elgin for the south. The Marquis of Bristol arrived at his seat, Ickworth Park, on Friday last. The Earl Jermyn joined his noble father on Saturday, from the baths of Homburg. .._ The Earl and COuntess of Munster have left the St. George's Hotel for Scotland. The Viceroy of Egypt, Said Pacha, will, after his visit to Paris, proceed to London, thence to Vienna, and will embark at Trieste to return to Alexandria. SALE OF WooL.—The Earl of Lucan has made sale of his vast stock of wool, comprising over 3,500 fleeces of Leicester and Cheviot wool, at 18s. per stone, without the usual deductions. Immediate orders have been received by every cavalry regiment at home to detail a captain and a subaltern to proceed, by the first week in October, to Scutari, where a cavalry reserve is to be forted. _ DESERTIONS FROM HER MAJESTY'S SERVICE.—From an official return made up to the 19th inst., it appears that the total number of deserters from her Majesty's regular army was 330. Of this number the Foreign Legion contributed 11, and the Land Transport Corps 10. THE ITALIAN OPERA IN PARIS.—The Theatre Im perial Italien will open on the 2d of October, under the direction of Signor Colzado.

CAUTION TO RAILWAY TRAVELLERS.—At the Sheriff court, Glasgow, last week, a man was convicted of hav ing, near Stow, leaped from a train while in motion, and at considerable speed ; he was fined 405., with 17s. costs. Another individual was fined 205., with 16s. costs, for leaping on to a train while in motion, near the Edinburgh station of the North British Railway, and also for travelling without previously obtaining a ticket. THE CITY ORTHOPCEDIC HOSPITAL.— The anniversary dinner of this admirable institution, situate in Hatton garden, and established in 1851 or gratuitous surgical treatment of poor persons of every nation suffering under clubfoot, contractions or distortions of the limbs, cur vatures of the spine, or other bodily deformities, without letters of recommendation, was held yesterday, at the London Tavern. The chair was taken by Alderman and Sheriff Sir Henry Muggeridge, and about fifty gentle- men sat down to a very elegant repast, served by Messrs. Bathe and Co, A subscription list, amounting to nearly 6007., was announced. MURDER AT lIORSLEY.—DERRY, Thursday.—Yester day Mr. Whiston, the coroner, held an inquest at Hors ley Woodhouse, on the body of James Ratcliffe, a stock ing maker, 22 years of age, whose death, it was alleged, had been occasioned by a wound inflicted by the violence of William Clarke. The jury, after a careful investiga tion .into the whole case, returned a verdict of wilful murder against Clarke, who is in custody charged with cutting and wounding with intent to murder. MURDER OP TWO MALE CHILDREN AT PlMLlCO.—Yes terday afternoon Mr. Langham, the deputy coroner for ' Westminster, opened two inquests at the Prince of Orange Tavern, Brewers-green, Pimlico, on the bodies of two full-grown male children, one found against the private residence of Mr. Elliott, the brewer and the other in the stone yard of Mr. Chadwick, the contractor, of Mill bank. The jury, in one case, returned a verdict that the child had died from compression of the lungs, but whether the result of accident or design there was not sufficient evidence to show ; and in the other the inquiry was adjourned to afford the police time to discover the unnatural parents. NEW FOREST.—Ten thousand acres of land in various parts of the New Forest are about to be planted. About 70 acres of the New Forest were sold last week by the Government, and fetched about 23/. 10s. an acre. The land sold is on the outskirts of the forest, and is covered with furze. It has to be fenced by the purchasers. Captain Parker, of the 77th Regiment, who was killed at the capture of Sebastopol, has left a widow and three children, residing at St. Helier's, Jersey. Lord Pan mure, by a kind and considerate letter, communicated to Mrs. Parker the news of the death of her husband before she should see it in the public prints. Captain Parker fought in the battles of Alma, Balaklava, and Inkerman. EXTRAORDINARY DIVING.—The smack Nancy, of Whitstable, Mr. G-. Hall, submarine engineer, arrived at Christiansand on the 13th inst., having been diving near the coast, and recovered from the galiot Johan Auguste, lost in the year 1849, 11 tons 7 cwt. of copper, also 45 easks of crones talc, in 23 fathoms water. Two years be fore our engagement with Mr. Hall two Danish divers made a trial during two summers, but could not recover any of the cargo, and we have never beard of any property being recovered in 23 fathoms water until the present case. Mr. G. Hall was formerly one of Col. Pasley's principal divers employed in raising the guns and clear ing the wreck of the Royal George in the year 1840. ANNIVERSARY OF THE BATTLE OF THE ALHA.—LIVER rooL, Thursday.—The peals of the various church bells in this town announced this morning the anniversary of the glorious battle of the Alma. Liverpool is proverbial for its apathy in getting up any particular demonstra tion upon any particular event, yet to-day the inhabi tants made a display of enthusiasm which was quite ex hilarating to behold. Every street throughout this great town was ornamented with flags and banners of the allied nations. The monument of Lord Nelson on th e :Exchange flags was ornamented with the union-jack, the Fronchtri-colour, and the Turkish standard—the crescent and the cress ; but though this loyal exhibition was gratifying to all, universal regret and disappoint ment were exhibited at noticing the absence of the Sardinian flag. During the day, the band of the Lan cashire Artillery, with a large number of soldiers, came upon the Exchange flags and played some excellent music, Crowds of people assembled to do honour to the occasion, and many cheers were given for the happiness of our gracious Queen and the troops who have behaved so gallantly abroad. THE MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, Sept. 20.—The Penin sular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Nubia, Captain Brooks, sailed this afternoon for Gibraltar, Malta, and , Alexandria, with the India, China, and Mediterranean mails, 141 passengers, 46 0, 04 7/. 4s. lid. in specie for India and China, 36,050/. for Alexandria, and a full general cargo.

Among the freight the Nubia has a large quantity of seed potatoes and other vegetables, forwarded by Messrs. Bridgewater, Page, and Co., of Southampton, to his Highness Ilhama Pasha, for farming purposes at Alexandria and Cairo. ' The Ave, Captain Field, with the next homeward por tion of the India, China, and Mediterranean mails, is ,exuected about the 26th instant. The Madrid, Captain Cock, with the mails from Vigo, Oporto, Lisbon, Cadiz, an d ,Gibraltar, is looked for on the 24th. The Tagus, Captain Weeks, will convey the outward portion of the Peninsular mails on the 27th instant. The United States' mail steam-ship Hermann, Captain Higgins, with the German, French, and English mails, and dates from New York to the Bth instant, is expected to arrive off Cowes to-morrow, em route to Bremen. The North Star, Captain Wamack, of the Vanderbilt line of steam ships, will call of Cowes either voyage from Havre_ to New York on Saturday next. The steam-ship Ericson, to run from Now York to Southampton and Bremen in conjunction with the mail steam-shi p s Washington and Hermann, was to leave New Y ork on the 15th instant, and may be expected off Cowes at the latter end of next week. • GENERALSHIP OP PRINCE GORTSCHAKOFF. The Journal des Debats contains an article on the in cidents of the battle of the Tchernaya, which contain appreciations of a certain interest. As a general rule, we value very lightly the speculative observations of these self-constituted strategists, who in robe-de-cham bre sit down at their ease at home to show how the battles of the Alma, or of Inkerman, or of the Tcher naya shculd have been fought and won. In most cases such writers expose alike their presumption and their ignorance ; but the article in the Debats is more modest in its pretensions, as the writer bases his remarks and reasoning strictly on what has taken place, and conse quently is entitled to a certain attention. The follow ing passages appear worthy of extract : " Prince Gortschakoff throws all the blame of his want of success on Gen. Read, commander of the 3d corps d'armee, who was killed, and cannot now defend himself. According to the General-in-Chief, General Read ought to have established a numerous artillery be fore the bridge of Traktir, to command the Fedukhine Hills, whilst an attack was made on Tchorgoun, and to have deployed in line of battle under the protection of his artillery, but not to attack the positions before re ceiving orders. Could, however, Prince Gortschakoff reasonably imagine that on hearing the cannonade the French and Sardinians would remain in their tents ? Has all initiative been ever interdict to the general of a corps d'armee of from 25,000 to 30,000, who, when in a situation to appreciate favourable circum stances, can seize on them and profit by them ? Moments are precious in war. Prince Gortschakoff was then at a distance of two kilometres (2i miles) to wards Tchorgoun ; Gen. Read considered the moment opportune for attack, before the French were fully pre pared ; and, besides, by marching on the Mamelons, his attack accorded with the plans of the General-in-Chief. Read, in fact, might evidently have possessed himself of the Mamelon, since he obtained the summit of it. It was for the General-in-Chief to support that attack, which was a brilliant one, although repulsed by the im petuous bravery of our soldiers. Read returned to the charge, and the General-in-Chief did not cause him to be supported with sufficient forces. Gen. Ouscha koff also redoubled his efforts against the other Mamelon, but there also the General-in-Chief adopted no decisive measure. Instead of making a diver sion on our right, by throwing the corps d'armee of Gen. Liprandi against Tchorgoun and Hastert (the key of the battle), he allowed, it is not known why, his left to remain unprotected, in order to send, but too late, one of the divisions of Gen. Liprandi to the support of the attacks on the centre. Disposing of a reserve of 30,000 men, be made no use of it, though the moment was one of those critical crises which serve to decide victory, or to disengage compromised troops. Finally, Prince Gortschakoff possessed an immense artillery, but he only made use of it as a demonstration, and it was the artillery of the allies which horribly decimated his columns. By his indecision he left them to be crushed, losing more than 5,000 men killed or wounded, amongst whom were 8 generals, 3 of whom expired on the banks of the Tchernaya. The general, in fact, showed himself, as it were, completely disconcerted on seeing the affair take what he calls an unexpected turn, as if a general could always count on infallible success, and as if it were not the duty of a general-in-chief to provide for unfore seen incidents. He triumphs at the French not having gone to attack him on the other side of the river, where he awaited them, he says, for four hours ; but he feigns to forget that we have another task to fulfil—the siege of Sebastopol. It is for him to cause us to raise the siege, if he can, with his relieving army. The day will arrive on which the allied army will be free in its turn to give him battle in the heart of the Crimea." The Debats estimates in the following terms the cha racter of General Gortschakoff as the Commander-in- Chief of a large independent body of troops : " The not very brilliant campaign of this general in the Danubian principalities against the Turks, and his sad battle of the Tchernaya, do not permit him to be counted amongst those captains who are inspired on the battle-field with sudden illuminations. He may be rather classed amongst the exact, and even learned tacticians, who know perfectly well the military chess-board and its rules, but to whom nature has refused the inspira tions of genius. His instructions found on the body of General Read are a chef d'ceuvre of prudent prevision ; but we remark in them a spirit of detail and minute ness calculated to shackle the talent of those who were to execute them, by restricting them to petty combina tions. This spirit of exactitude and detail does not, it is true, always prevent a general from conceiving ex tensive plans ; but there is a wide difference between calm calculation and vigorous execution. In the field of battle the presence of mind of the moment is the most precious quality, and Marshal Soult said truly that in spiration is nothing else than calculation instantaneously made." war. MAZZINTS PROCLAMATION. The following is the proclamation, or manifest, to which we alluded yesterday, as issued by Maz zini to the Neapolitans. It purports to be addressed to the young men of Naples, and is dated the 31st of August : "Brothers !—What ought Ito say to you ? My word can be but one. When the bastonnade becomes the law in a country—when abroad the Italian exile cannot look an enemy in the face without reading there derision, or a friend without perceiving pity—he is a lukewarm citizen who remains silent, a coward who preaches resignation, and a wretch who indi cates as a means of safety only the wiles of foreign courts. You have had wretched and cowardly advisers. There remains not one—thanks to the tyranny which oppresses you—to whom it is permitted to address you a single word which is worthy of Italy and of you. I address that word to you. With a thrill of shame, grief, and indignation in my very soul, I make that appeal to you which all who have at heart your honour and the future of Italy must feel ; if you do not rise in arms against the foul and deauched domination which is upon you, if insurrection in the name of Italy and of the national sovereignty does not become your only thought—the ruling idea, the fever and the fury of your minds—then, indeed, the country is lost for many a long year, and all Europe will point at y ou as cow ards' who deserve the slavery which degrad e s y ou . "No ! lam aware that you are not cowards. You have proved it to your country and to Europe on all occasions. When not led astray by false doctrines or soporific illusions, you followed the impulse of the heart, and the noble and generous tendencies of a character powerful and energetic as your own volcanic soil. France still remembers the ardour with which the population of your city flung back the flag which was presented to you encircled with foreign bayonets, and rose in arms more than half a c e ntury ago, against her soldiers who were then reported invincible. No one among us forgets how from that proud protest of indepenance issued among you countrymen, who understood the importance of that banner for the future of the country, the first miracles of valour and the re public martyrdom in Italy. The slow, persevering, and perilous work of your secret associations educated us all in the holy idea, in the name of which I now address you. The best among you first sanctified it with their blood ; first your army made it its own in 1820. To you is not wanting the Italian idea, nor tradition, nor strength of mind, nor sense of honour ; but there is wanting to you collective virtue, faith in the power of an undertaking boldly commenced, the con sciousness of having, when you arise, all Italy with you, and the just consciousness of the condition in which your enemies fare at this moment. The fault isnotyours, but is owing to the base , and destructive arts of your mas ters, but Europe does not regard secondary considera tions, it looks at patent facts. Europe knows that our masters are weak, that in 1848 on every side where a rising took place they were unable to resist ; that wheresoever waved the banner of nations the people followed it, combatted, conquered,—did not stop or stay unless when that banner was sustained by local interests and dynastic ambition. Europe knows too well our sufferings ; it sees the heads of patriots roll on the scaffold ; reads the Government circulars,—l know not whether they are more barbarous than stupid—which regulate the length of your beards and the cut of your hair, and beholds the institu tions of commissions destined to keep in cheok, like beasts ,of burden, with the stick, —and beholding all this, it denounces us as cowarde,idead to every con sciousness of right, and utterly incapable or careless of IfeePty. "The charge is grave, and appearances are against us. Our endurance has been excessive. There are suf ferings which bring dishonour with them. A people calling themselves Italian cannot, in the 19th century, resign itself to the stick without being degraded in its own eyes and in those of others. When a Government flings an outrage of such a kind on its own subjects the hour of its fall has already sounded. You must profit by it, or by your silent acceptance of your shame you will have acquired the name of the Helots of nations ; and when men who ought to profit by that hour form part of an indignant nation, ready to a man to follow them, to respond to the first cry for the liberty they seek ; when foreign Governments, constrained by pub lic opinion to censure the Power whose overthrow is in question, and engaged in a war with a powerful enemy in a distant country, cannot be averse to you ; when the only enemy they had, suspected by all of du bious policyand fatally placed between the combatants, who may any day call upon him to act, or, if he refuse, attack him, and force him to keep the greater part of his force immoveable there where his greatest danger lies ; when every man of common sense, and who is ac quainted with the condition of Europe, knows that the rising of one people cannot but be the signal for other immediate risings, and that the movement of Italy espe cially would be the initiative for the war of nationalities, and first among them of Hungary, Poland, and Greece —when all this is before you, hesitation becomes incon ceivable, and apathy a heinous crime against God (who himself presents the opportunity), and against the coun try which is called upon to gain so much of glory and of liberty. "It is incumbent on me to repeat those things to every part of Italy, and I do it ; it is incumbent on you to repeat them resolutely and severely to yours. The circumstances are 'most favourable to you. You, ex cept a few mercenaries, have your own arms. Soldiers who have mothers and brothers in the country, officers who can and ought to understand how the judg ment of Europe begins to regard the livery they wear, and how it would shine out, beautiful in honour and hailed by th e l ove o f th e peo pl e , if, whilst in the north of Italy, a Monarch opens to the foreigner a mar ket for m en f or th e C r i mea , th ese sa id, We will open a camp for the emancipating legions of Italy.' The foreign enemy is distant ; yon can rise without their . being prepared ; you have time to put yourselves m s i" J y ~~-' ~ .i.~',i order ; you can choose the hour and the place of attack ; and in that place, in that hour, you will have us all for your vanguard. And, finally—for why should I not say it ?—you are hound to prove to Italy that your apathy in 1848 was not lukewarmuess or want of affection !A wards your common mother, but repugnance to no while a doubtful banner was waving in the field. "Rise, then ! Awake ! Be great ! Rise in the name of all—in the name of eternal justice—in the name of the nations. To the banner which, from the summit of your own Vesuvius, shall display in flame the words ' God and the People,' a similar banner, I swear it to you, shall respond from the Alps. " GIITSEPPE MAZZINI." PRESENTATION OF AN ADDRESS T° CAPTAIN PAEL, R.N. The return of Captain Peel from the Crimea, where his distinguished valour ha s a l rea d y ga i ne d hi m i n this country an illustrious fame, w as t a k en a d van t age of by the inhabitants of Tamworth as a fitti ng o pp o rtunity for the presentation of an address t ) th e ga ll an t ca ptain. Captain Peel arrived at the T amwor th s t a tion 0 0 Tuesday evening, on his way to D ra yt on M ano r, the seat of his father, Sir Robert Peel, M.P . , w h ere a dis tinguished party of friends, incl u di ng L a d y Villiers, General Peel, Captain Townshend, Mr. and Bracebridge, &c., awaited his arrival. O n W e d n esday morning the town of Tamworth pres en t e d a ve ry gal appearance. The streets were decorated with garisnu il and festoons, and Union Jacks and streamers were hanging from most of the windows—the "red, white, and blue" being the prevailing colours. The mayor , and the members of the town council, attired in the", robes of office, met the gallant capt a i n an d Si r R. Pee' on their entrance into the bcrough ; an escort of yeo manry accompanied the carriages, the band of the reg" ment, playing "See the conquering hero comes," pr e : ceding the procession to the Town•hall, where a plat . form had been erected close to th e s t a t ue o f t h e l a te S ir Robert Peel, M.P., and on the gallant captain tnaltinj his appearance on the platform, accompan i e d b y Sir Peel, Captain Townshend, M.P., and others, the shout° of the populace were deafening. The MAYOR, J. Shawe, Esq., prefaced the presents. tion of the address with a few appropriate remarks, th e reading of which was repeatedly c h eere d , par ti c ulsril that portion which referred to his labour in the trenches , his valour in the assault, and of the singular coolness and prompt determination which enabled him, in ° moment of imminent danger, to save the lives of others at the peril of his own, by throwing over the e mbank' went the burning shell which had fallen from the enemy mortar. On presenting himself, Captain PEEL, who was dress ed in uniform, and who appeared to have suffered several,' from fatigue since he left England, was most enthusioe" tically received. He commenced his reply, evidently labouring under strong emotions, by observing that be thanked God for his mercy in having allowed him to r e ' turn in honour to his native land, and to receive from their hearts, in a place so dear and so sacred to the memory of his father, their appreciation of his conduc t , in the field. He could not all u d e t o th at mercy w ithout first thinking of the gallant men, less fortunate but WO glorious, who were lying in their peaceful graves b3r the side of the battery where they fought together ; and h e trembled whilst he stood there, lest in speaking of hilt self, he should seem to rob them of one atom of awl' glory. Rather than do that he would enter with them their graves. A sad, sad distinction existed betwEei them ; theirs Ras the glory, whilst ours was the reflex' tion. (Cheers.) It bad been his good fortune and Iv e pride in the war, that although a sailor by profession be had been associated with the army. He had learnt from them how to fight with honour ; and as those who til i „ heard him took a deep interest in what was going on '" the Crimea, he would relat e a scene or two w hich he had witnessed there. (Cheers.) It had been his good fortune to be present at the battle of the Alma, to fig ht with the Guards at Inkermann, to witness, as a spectY tor, the charge of cavalry at Balaklava, and t o go daily to the trenches, and to witness the gallant but uuscf: cessful attack on the 18th of J une . H e wou ld ta k e , b°'‘ ever, the battle of Inkermann as o ne o f t h e mos t i n terecw , to them ' • but before he refer re d t o it h e f elt b oun d to men" the heroism of a midshipman, an aide-de-camp of lu c ' named Dalzell, and anoth er name d W ood, two youth e who fought like heroes. [Li eu t. D a l ze ll was o n the platform, and was loudly cheered.] He was awoke 011 the morning of the battle by a heavy cannonade, 'Al e ! he immediately dressed him se lf, an d went out. It was thick fog and a wet morning. Not knowing the ground' he went to the line where they were holding with 0 , men a position against large numbers of the enemy. went to look, and discovered that on the right the grou fell rapidly down to the. Tchernaya, so that there was u° danger by turning there. Th e y could not see the eue° l9 : and the bullets as they came flying past tore up tu`„ bushes. He got to the two-gun b a tt er y—th a t famou" place—where there were a few of the Guards with th e colours of the regiment. None of the enemy could then be seen, although the bullets continued to fly among dt a them ; but suddenly a fire came on from the rear, a nd the men were dropping. They formed to meet this fir e :, but at the same instant a shout was heard, and a lilt of Russians appeared before us. A cry was raised; " Firm on the colours," and they prepared to meet them. -," rush, however, was made on the enemy in the rear, a" they engaged them so ardently that they forgot altoge ther about the men who were comin g d own i n dens° masses in front. At that moment an officer on horse' back said to him, in a whisper, " The Russians are ill front and in rear." Not knowing the danger of their position, and to show the little military skill he poll' sessed, he replied, also in a whisper, "Then, I hope We shall take them all." He now looked up, and to bie surprise saw thousands of Russians shooting them downs not daring to attack them with the bayonet. They turned the men round to let them fire, and continued firing on and fighting the Russians to the redoubts which was their proper position. They moved (2f . with her Majesty's Guards, and got to the redou bt „ with the coleus's safe. (Cheers.) They were at 01 moment closely pressed by the enemy, when they bee r . the bugles sounded, and up came a gallant French reg l ment with their colonel at their head. With their a i d they drove the Russians back, who immediately ' fre e came up in overwhelming numbers, and retook tu: position, but only to be again driven back with immens e loss. On the following day, on going over the field , _ l , was said by many who saw it, that the slain round tf:l battery were more than at any other position. Il e la ao given them that little episode of the battle of 1nkern3,,.. 6 and he would not take up any more of their time. v" 0 , matter, however, which referred to himself he would n o tice. It might be asked how it was that he stood °A le when there was still war and others were fighting• reason was that the navy was not governed like thear"'', The service of the latter was continuous. On the ev enin g of the 18th of June he was wounded, and bad to go, in the hospital. After six weeks the wound continuel,o2 the same state, and that circumstancealone deprivedfrie, of his command. He was ready, notwithstanding , !°cl turn and serve again. The gallant captain then ref e t ih t i o to the opinions which had been expressed—tb il oh ipli navy had had nothing to do, because the Russian er . were behind their batteries—and remarked that ~ was one Russian ship lying at anchor in the Gulf of by land, which must be taken by the navy, and thei b a by was Cronaadt. (Cheers and laughter.) He concl ua n ' s ible. saying that he would not tell them how deeply ge , sp of he was of the reception they had given him in tha t ton so sacred to the memory of his father—a "rod deeply touching to Lady Peel and to all his feral: oo J in their names, and in his own, he thanked them.
