We recently protested against the desecration of the term " Peelite." We felt that it was a grievous wrong to the memory of the departed Statesman to permit his name to be associated with the proceedings of the petty clique who had for merly been numbered amongst his followers, but who certainly have not imbibed the spirit of their quondam leader, and do not seem to understand the motives by which he was actuated. They have adopted views in direct opposition to that of the community. In place of following public opinion they have ventured to set it at defiance, and are striving by every means in their power to patch up a precarious and disreputable truce on any conditions which the AUTOCRAT may think fit to impose. Though numerically weak, they are strong in Parliamentary influence, and in cunning. They are thoroughly versed in " red tapist " slang, and, from the intermediate position that they formerly occupied between the leading parties of the State, they are enabled to coquette with both sides, and to enhance their value by the possibility, should their claims be rejected, of casting their weight into tha opposite scale, and turning the beam on some critical emergency. Thus it was that on the resignation of the DERBY Ministry they were enabled to secure for them selves at least a moiety of the leading offices, athough they were scarcely one to five of the Whigs, with whom they had coalesced ! While, however, they played their game be tween the contending parties, we did not object to the prizes secured by skilful strategy, and making the most of the peculiar circum stances of the struggle for place 'and power so fiercely carried on between the Derbyites and Russellites, or Whigs and Conservatives. It was not until they had clearly displayed their pro- Muscovite tendencies, that they pursued an un- English policy, and showed themselves willing to sacrifice the honour and interests of their native land, in their undue truckling to Germanism and Coburgism, that they became positively dangerous, the more so from their adroitness and skill in legislative tactics. They were not satisfied with divided power. iThey contrived to secure for themselves all the places connected with the War. It is needless to expatiate on the serious faults of omission and commission of which they were guilty in that position. The senile twaddle of their nominal head —the pains which he took to inform the adversary that nothing would induce him to fight, brought on the War —which the financial policy of hi s Ch ancellor of the Ex chequer "starred." By " waiting for Austria and Prussia," and suffering - England to be mad e the laughing-stock of treacherous Courts —.we do not include the peoplesin this condemnation they protracted the War, and rendered it a struggle for ex. istence—a conflict between the principles of liberty and civiliSation on the one .side, and barbarian despotism on the other. They were detected, and, happily for England and for Europe, were ejected from office. Since then they have openly professed the peace-at-any-price principle, and, in conjunction with the BRIGHT and COBDEN school, are striving for office—the leading poisit being submission to Austrian dictation, and the patching up of peace on terms that will permit Russia still to pursue her traditional policy, and to absorb the neighbouring states whenever cir cumstances permit such acts of aggression. Now, this was not the policy of Sir ROBERT PEEL; and we cannot, in justice to his memory, suffer so gross an imputation on his name, or permit a petty clique to make political character for them selves at the expense of a reputation that has become public property. Sir JAMES GRAHAM has had a cleverly -got-up aceno in the North, in which he has been carica ivring the Proceedings of "his departed friend and leader under very differque circumstances. That the Right Hon. Baronet should have consented to act a conspicuous part in th e i nauguration of an undertaking in which many ef his con s tit uents were interested was very natural, and although conduct of there was an undue imitation o f the Sir ROBERT PEEL in turning the first Teens T a ll ey Railway s o d of the plain o f what greatly cons y, we shall not a piece of b a d taste. was merely Rut we must energetically protest against the mode in w hich Sir R.' Pees's name was b rought in ; and it was insinuated, rather than directly stated, that he would *f if, happily , l iv in g , have op posed the War, a n a r a l c • men tile course- which his nominal followers are now .• Pursuing. He did rot pretend to say what Si r R. do, -but he laid peculiar stress, rxis if ali ve wou ld that he was th ou the f ac t a zvidataizer of Zug. ~ T la • Was gm, in: sidious and an unfair way of raising the issue. It was a mere begging of the question. Sir R. PEEL was the lover of peace, like every true-hearted Eng- I lishman, while it could be maintained safely and honourably. He was well aware of the evils of war, but he also knew that there were others of a still more formidable character. We should not engage in hostilities for the sake of the phan tom glory, or for any sordid motive. But there was a sacred mission which England should never disregard. Her duty as the protector of the_ feeble and the oppressed —as the champion of right against might, and the determined foe of palpable injustice whenever or wherever it should be attempted. A pirate or bandit should not be permitted to follow his nefarious pursuits merely because he had not yet attacked the goods of those ' who could venture no resistance ; and brigandage should not be sanctioned because it was pursued in a right Royal manner, under shelter of an Im perial Crown. As " the defender and champion of commerce " Sir ROBERT PEEL would have resisted those by whom the principles of justice and equity, with out which commerce cannot exist, were disre garded. Nor would he hhve waited to the last and sanctioned by connivance the earlier aggres sions. He would have felt that the crossing of the Pruth was a casus MU, and by acting promptly on that conviction have satisfied the CZAR, that he could not carry out his infamous project with impunity, or without the decided opposition of the United Kingdom. By so doing he would have been truly " the, maintainer of peace," the champion and defender of commerce —the guardian of the maxufacturing interests or the country. A noble Roman showed his confidence in the ultimate triumph of his country by purchasing an estate on which the conqueror almost at the gates of her capital lay encamped ; a Hebrew prophet by Divine command had long before performed the same deed under similar circumstances. The CzAR is reported to have just evinced in the same way his confidence in the triumph of Holy Russia. While not a lugger nor a man-of-war belonging to Russia has dared for this year and more to appear on the Euxine, orders are transmitted from St. Petersburg " to increase the Black Sea fleet, and to lay down new 131 gun-ships at Nicolaieff." There seems no reason to doubt that the orders have been transmitted. The first NAPOLEON'S well-known remark will ix that case be illustrated; and the issue of the war and of diplomacy will prove in due time whether building three-deckers, tkc., be a sublime or a ridiculous order. It must be owned that our Government have given too much encouragement to such Russian gasconading. There stand the dockyards of Nice laieff; not an attempt has been made upon them. It is perfectly certain that moderate-sized vessels might have supported gun-boats and mortar-boats, which might, in Sweaborg style, have demolished the entire naval stores of the place. The channel of the river has been considerably deepened, and though the talked-of three-deckers would have to be floated down by the aid of camels, and their armament have to be completed at Sebastopol, yet lighter vessels and mortar-boats could ascend with perfect ease. The CZAR sees that they have not done it. They have preferred, such of them as were not wanted in the Sea of Azoff, to cruise at leisure, facing no enemy but the summer wind and weather. CAPT. THE HON. R. DRUMmoND.— By a telegraphic message received last evening we are informed that the above hon. gentleman is only slightly wounded, and is progressing favourably, and not dead, as reported yes terday. CHRISTIANA, AUG. 31.—The resignation of the Stadt , bolder Loewenskaeld is accepted, but he bolds office until spring, when the Crown Prince becomes Viceroy of the kingdom of Norway. THE STII ROYAL IRISH HUSSARS.--The complement of this distinguished cavalry corps having been made up, it is expected that the recruiting parties will be called in for the present. It is now upwards of 600 strong. THE ORNAMENTAL WATER, ST. JAMES'S-PARS.—Yes terday men were actively engaged in making prepara tion for cleansing the ornamental water facing Bucking. ham-palace, in St, .Tatnes's-park, by order of her Ma jes.ty's Commissioners of the Woods and Forests, NEW ACT ON UNION CHARGES.—By an act of the late session the provisions which would expire at the end of the present month, as to the burial of poor persons and the maintenance of lunatic paupers, are continued as union charges for another year. ND, ACT ON " WEDDING - RINGS."—Among the acts ef the late session was one t , ) except gold wedding-rings from the operation of the former act relating to the stan dard of gold and silver wares, and from the exemptions contained in the ac's relating to gold wares. Wedding rings are now required to b e assaye d and marked. Another week of fine weather has increased the assur ance of an abundant and well-gathered harvest. The re ports from nearly all parts of the country are of the most gratifying kind, and the gathering is represented as snaking satisfactory progress. The Rev. Christopher Smyth, one of the curates of St. Nicholas, Yarmouth, has lately ascended to the highest point of Monte Rosa, hitherto deemed inaccessible ; and has since succeeded in reaching the summit of the mo narch of mountains, Mont Blanc, by a new route, and without the aid of guides. Captain Hammett, commander of the Albion, who was killed in the trenches on the 17th ult., was the brother-in-law of Sir E. H. B. Lacon, Bait, the mem ber for Yarmouth. He served as mate of the Bellero phon at the bombardment of St. Jean d'Acre in 1840, and was employed on the North American and West India stations previously to his being sent to the Black Sea. SDAY EvENING, SEPTEMBER 6 1 munications. The loss of the Allies at that time had not been a tenth part of the number. That the elite of the Russian forces were almost extir pated, that Russian recruits were not made into soldiers under three years, while ours became staunch troops very quickly—that, in truth, Sebastopol was a running sore in the side of Rus sia, from which her strength was fast draining out. . Whether these views were actually expressed by the EMPEROR or not, there is evident truth in them. His late written remarks read to the army, from information " on which he could rely, as to the impossibility of the Russians getting through the winter in the Crimea," are in keeping with the above statements from the New York Times. The famishing condition of the reinforcements marched to destruction on the 16th corroborates the general opinion. Were Russia in Europe with its present population, one-fourth its present size, it would be far more formidable to attack. To maintain troops at once in the North, in Po land, and the Crimea, and to move them without railways, and generally without roads, greater distances than the length of England or of France, and for the most part over wildernesses, is a task which must in no long time wear out all her re sources both of men, and convey2,,n oe , and of money too, COURT. CIRCULAR. Her Maje,-44 and Prince Albert, with the Prince of Wales, Rance Alfred, the Princess Royal, and the Prin cesses Alice, Helena, and Louisa, arrived at Buckingham Preface yesterday afternoon from Osborne. The Queen, the Prince, and Royal Family left Osborne at 10 minutes to 11 o'clock, and cros , ed in the Fairy to Gosport, where a special train on the South-Western Railway was in readiness to convey her Majesty to the private station at Vauxhall, from whence the Royal party was conveyed in five of the Queen's carriages, es corted by a detachment of light cavalry, to Buckingham Palace, where her Majesty arrived at a quarter to 3 o clock. Her Majesty and the Prince were received, on alight ing from their carriage, by Lieut.-General Sir Ed ward Bowater. The royal suite consisted of Lady Churchill, the Hon. Beatrice Byng, Colonel the Hon. C. B. Phipps, Major-General the Hon. Charles Grey, Captain Du Plat, the Master of the Household, and Mr. Gibbs. Her Majesty, soon after her arrival, gave an audience to the Duke and Duchess of Montpeusier, to which their Royal Highnesses were introduced by the Earl of Clarendon, K G., her Majesty's principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The Queen gave an audience to a New Zealand chief, who was presented to her Majesty by Sir William Moleswortb, Secretary of State for Colonial Affairs. The Brazilian Minister had an audience of her Majesty. The Queen also gave audiences to the Earl of Claren don and Lord Panrnure. The Duke of Cambridge dined with her Majesty last evening, M. Desarais bad the honour of exhibiting on Tuesday at Osborne before the Queen and Prince, and the whole of the Royal children, hie Parisian troupe of histrionic dogs and monkeys ; and Mr. George Hodson bad the honour of performing selections from his musical enter tainment and imitations. The dinner party at Osborne on Tuesday included the Hon. Colonel and Mrs, Phipps, Captain the Hon. J. Denman, And Lady C. 13arrington. PORTSMOUTH, Sept. s.—Her Majesty, his Royal High ness Prince Albert, with the Royal family, left Osborne this morning at 10.50, cit route to this port and London ; the Royal standard being hoisted on hoard the Fairy steam yacht, a royal salute was fired from the Cowes Battery. As the Royal yacht came up to Spithead, the salute was continued by the Neptune, 120, and St. George, 120, at Spith ea d ; su b sequently by the garrison from the Saluting Battery, and afterwards by the Vic tory, flag-ship, and the Illustrious, 42, in harbour. The ships were dressed in colours, manned yards, &c. The yacht arrived at Clarence-yard at 12 o'clock, and on her Majesty landire4 she was received by the Commander•in- Chief, Vice-. Admiral Sir T. J. Cochrane; Major-General Breretesn, Lieut.-Governor Admiral Superintendent Mar- Cu.; captain Superintendent of Clarence-yard, Sidney Decree ' • the flag an d staff officers of the po r t an d garri son ; Messrs, ?inborn and Davies, of Clarence•yard ; and a guard of honour from the Royal Marines. The Royal train conveying her Majesty left for London at a quarter past 12. AMUSEMENT AT OSBORNE BY ROYAL COMMAND.—M. Desarais, with his highly-trained troupe of dogs and monkeys, who, it may he remembered, appeared in Lon don some time past, bad the honour of appearing before her Majesty the Queen, Prince Albert, and all the Royal family, with his celebrated troupe, on Tuesday, Sept. 4. The Royal party were greatly pleased with the enter tainments, and expressed their gr ttification. Mr. George Hodson also amused the Royal family with sketches from his Irish Portfolio, e laich caused great laughter, the Prince enjoying the Hibernian sayings and doings greatly. At the conclusion of the entertainment the Queen freely conversed with M. Desarais as to the mode of training the animals ; and on being assured by M. Desarais that they were kindly treated, her Majesty re plied, "I am very happy to hear it ; they are beautiful creatures." The Prince of Wales, Colonel Phipps, Colonel Grey, and several of the gentlemen remained some time after the performance, greatly enjoying the pranks of the dogs. The Queen, on retiring, expressed her satisfaction and approbation. The musical arrange ments were under the diection of Mr. William Lewis, who presided at the pianoforte. The prospectus has been issued of the proposed Lon don Joint Stock Warehousemen's Company under the Limited Liability Act. The capital is to be 200,0001,, in 201. shares paid up, with power of increase to 500,0001. The promoters lay stress upon the well-known profits of the wholesale drapery trade, and contend that, as the success of the business depends in a peculiar degree upon the possession of an ample capital, it is one well adapted for a joint stock association. RUSSIA.—The mercantile advices from St. Petersburg continue to afford scarcely a particle of news. The rate of exchange exhibits a drooping tendency, calculated to accelerate the smuggling of gold out of the country, but it was still over 36d. The heaviness is attributed to the large amount of paper issued to meet the expenses of the war, the redemption of which, however, is by many persons, with too much reason, relied upon to take place out of a loan to be raised in London when the war is over. The Nishni fair for manufactures and imports is alleged to be going off favourably, good prices being ob tained acrd debts being fairly paid. That the articles presented for sale would find buyers was to be asaurned from the fact of the limited supply obtainable owing to the difficulties in the way of importation and the stop page of home manufactories. According to information lately obtained regarding the Isle of Man Bank (Messrs. Holmes and Co.), which failed for 190400/. in November, 1853, the prospects of the creditors are very poor. The bank had an estab lishment at Liverpool, and, like that of Mr. Oliver, it was reported at the time to be in possession of a large surplus. Much suffering has since been caused, and the complications connected with the estate are such that, although its affairs are said to have ism Nuy9r§l times before the Privy Co unc il, uothie- . i ' ':. 'el-- probable date Of a fin-' -g is mown as to sea .... arrangement. In th e I s l e of Mai the local I f a 'akulations are understood to provide that no n'',l,es can be issued without security being given in real property for the protection of the public, but the autho rities, moot of whom in the present instance are among the creditors, were lax in their duties, and the bank at the time of its stoppage had 25,0001. in circulation, or about three times the amount to which it was entitled. The question as to the relative claims of the holders of this circulation is the one that has interposed the chief difficulties in the progress tower=s a settlement. MIDDLESEX ARCHEOLOGICAL SOClETY.—llitherta, 80 tar as we remember, Middlesex, the metropolitan county —and certainly as rich in subjects of antiquarian and historical interest as any other county in Great B r it a i n —has had no special body of arch*ologists devoted to the care and preservation of its monuments. A fact so curious is, perhaps, explained by the assumption that the metropolitan county must necessarily claim the chief care of the Royal Society of Antiquaries, and its subsidiary bodies, the Archaeological Institute and the Archmological Association. Such, however, is not the case. These societies display a certain —or, we may more truly say, an uncertain —activity in the investigation of historical antiquities generally; but we are not aware that they charge themselves specially with any care of metropolitan monuments. For example—there is the 'rawer. Of all the monuments of past times in England et3LS;ry Of its court and of ifS Et Mlle, most beauittisfeal the Tower of T. 4011421 1 .8 first in interest.

NEW ACT ON COUNTY PALATINE OP LANCASTER TRIALS.—An act was ps,ssed in the late session further to assimilate the practice in the county palatine of Lan caster to that of other counties with respect to time trial of issues from the superior courts-at-Westminster. Flee Majesty may now issue commissions, authorising the judges to take the assizes, juries, and other =Ufa:64i .lyre pun iganaer 4 3i' oQer cauutico. * - . . - , There may be, however, something more than braggadocio in the CZAR'S orders. They may in dicate not only the measure of his hopes, and of the official bluster which tells in Russia, but also the demands which he means to insist on in the event of peace, and the measure which he has taken of our easily-cajoled Plenipotentiaries. He is reported to have been prompting Austria again on the subject of peace, and the accounts from ' all quarters of the excessive pressure put by the War on the resources of the country render this very probable. To counteract any expectation that he means to limit, much less to give up keep ing, a pirate fleet in the Black Sea, suggestions for peace and orders to augment the Black Sea fleet are sent forth together. As much as to say, that if all the Russian navy be sunk or destroyed at Sebastopol, as soon as ever articles of peace are signed a fleet, larger than tho destroyed one, and powerful enough to batter Constantinople, is to be ready to descend the Bug. If this be the meaning of the orders, we can only say, would that we bad men capable of giving parallel orders. Why cannot Lord PALMERCTON send to Vienna sug gestions as to the desirableness of sparing further bloodshed; but, at the same time officially- announce to Europe that the reconstruction of Poland bad become an indispensable security for the future, and that the Crimea, which had been the standing menace to Turkey, could never be allowed to re main in Russian hands. A hint might be added that it would be well to content Italy in a general settlement, and for Germans to keep to Germany. No doubt, however, Prince GORTSCITAKOFF him of Vienna we mean—has, together with NESSELRODE, and NESSELROWS mas tern taken pretty accurately the gauge of - our Cobu rg i se d Cabinet. 'They quite understand that belduess, with continental despots, need not be feared while the Prince Consort of England is bone of their bone, and flesh of their flesh. Here lies their strength. German despots may not be plainly dealt with, and they again will not allow the Russian despot to be humbled i and hen ce th e whol e W ar has been an insincere thing. N or is that all ; we believe that lIALNIERSTON, PANS I lIIRE, Woon, and GREY' the latt er three especialy, are be men of Lord 13-onar RUSSELL'S Own q ua li ty, they long to the same effete famil as opposed t o y cliq ue , which is a noble and generous foreign policy as the worst of the To: knows the M en w i th ies. N ESSELRODE whom he is matched, and the influences under which they will, ono day, wage diplomatic war with him. He is sure of 1 findin g them willing to yield anything they dare to the CZAR. He knows that if he can but take their Plenipotentiary arm in man again, lie can easily get him to terms which he dare not men tion in Parliament, should it happen to he sitting. The three-deckers, if already built, no one of the RUSSELL school would think it, consistent with Russian honour to - turn into a bonfire for the peace ; they must be left to break it again. It should not be lost sight of that, after all, we engage Russia with one very great advantage. It is itihnitely easier for us than for her to recruit and supply our respective armies. Ship transport is facility itself, compared with land transport in Russia. Louts NAPOLEON is reported to have told an American, that when his uncle attacked Russia in 1813, French troops had to traverse her arid wastes and snows, but that this time he would compel the Russian troops to do it. That all the troops who now come to Sebastopol have just suffered as much as the French did in the march to Moscow, and the retreat from it loss t o the Russians havineiaco r ;the d to presented t o NICHOLAS himself last De e ereportr, mbe amount©d to not less than 270,000 men !

He has desired that the sum may be presented, in his name, as a donation to the funds of the General Hospital. PUBLIC FUNERAL OF Mn. FEARGUS O'CONNOR.—The mortal remains of Mr. Feargu O'Connor will be interred in Kensal green Cemetery, on Monday next. The fune ral will be public, and the expenses attending upon it defrayed by su b scr i p ti on . Th e f r i en d s and admirers of the deceased in his early political movements for amelio rating the condition of the working classes, an extension of universal suffrage, and the six points of the Charter, will muster in strong force at the Prince Albert, Notting hill, at one o'clock on Monday, and follow the corpse two abreast to the cemetery, when an oration will be delivered over the deceased by a working man. The subscription for a testimonial to the deceased is progress ink favourably. SUICIDE AT TEE JUNIOR UNITED SERVICE CLUE.— Yesterday it was discovered that the butler, Mr. Chas. Stone, had committed suicide, by hanging himself in the cellar or vault in front of the house. The deceased bad for the last twenty years been connected with the club, and had gradually risen to the position he held at the time of hie death. During Tuesday he had complained of pains in the bead and a general depression of spirits, but nothing indicating a predisposition to suicide was observed by his fellow-servants. At ha'fpast two o'clock he left them to go to bed, instead of which he must have gone down to the cellar and at once hanged himself. Pecuniary embarrassment has, it is supposed, been the 'cause of the rash act. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT HUDDERSFIELD.—On Monday night, about twenty minutes past ten o'clock, a fire I broke out in the extensive premises in Queen-street, Huddersfield, known as the wholesale drapery establish ment of John Dyson and Sons, at present carried On by Mr. George Dyson. In the space of ten minutes the windows fell out, the roof sunk, and the whole of the valuable stock of goods was entirely consumed. Under the same roof was the largest corn warehouse in the town, that of Mr. Frederick Briefly, the stock of which was completely destroyed. The streets were as light as day, and were filled by thousands of persons. The hills round the town were also crowded by witnesses of the spectacle.—Manchester Guardian. AMALGAMATION OF BIRKENHEAD WITH LIVERPOOL.— On Tuesday evening, at a meeting of the Birkenhead Commissioners, Mr. Laird, in a long address, moved the adoption of a resolution recommending the amalgama tion of the municipality of Birkenhead with that of Liverpool, as eminently qualified to be beneficial, to both communities. The resolution was favourably received. and it was agreed to communicate this fact to the Town Council of Liverpool, at its ordinary monthly meeting held yesterday (Wednesday.) This was accordingly done, and the proposal again met with a favourable re ception, and was by the Town Council remitted to a committee to consider and report.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The Constitittionnd quotes a letter from St. Petersburg of the 27th ult., in which are remarked the following passages : "Prince Gortschakoff's despatch of the 24th has caused great uneasiness here, on account of the words 'Our fortifications suffer.' For those who know with what reserve Russ an bulletins and despatches are drawn up, these three words have an immense signi fication. Hitherto, none of either Menschikoff's or Gortschakoff's despatches had announced anything similar. has left the capital for Sebastopol. The Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaiewna, the widow of the Prince of Leuchtenberg, has gone to Moscow with her daughter, Maria Maximilianowna. You may remember that the Emperor, some time ago, ordered the formation of six regiments of Cossack cavalry in the Governments of Pul towa and Techernigoff. A letter from Pultowa announces that the formation of these bodies of troops is being completed; they are composed of Zaporoges, formerly an independent tribe, but now reduced to submission, and forming part of the Cos-a,cks of the Line. The wheat as well as the hay cropa have been very scarce in-the Government of Tschernigoff and Pultowa. Large quan tities of wool have been sold to German merchants at the fairs of Kbarkhoff and Pultowa. The export;ition of wools this year is valued at 8,000,000 of silver roubles." (The silver rouble is somewhat over 4f.) Lord Cowley has addressed the following letter to the Mayor of Amiens : " PARIS, Aug. 28.—Monsieur,—I am instructed by the Queen, my august Sovereign, to express to you, as well as to the Municipal Body of Amiens, the lively tis faction she experienced on receiving the address which you presented to her Majesty on her arrival at Amiens. Her ;Majesty sees, in the noble sentiments contained in that address, and in the warm reception given to her in company with her august ally, a fresh proof of the cor diality of that close alliance which it has been her object to cement between the two countries.

The following satisfactory despatches have just been received from the East : KARS, AUG. 17. Though the Russians still intercept communi sations with Erzeroum, and have burnt the vil lages round about, they have no means ©f attack- ing either Kars or Erzeroum. CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 27. Omer Pasha sets out to-morrow for the Crimea preparatory to his departure for Asia. Ferhad- Pasha (Baron Stein) will command the engineer corps of his army. Mehemet Ali Pasha is expected to succeed Halil-Pasha in the Marine department, and Vely Pasha (late Ambassador at Paris) Saffeti Pasha. STOCKHOLM, SEPT. 4. 855, gence contained in the following letter, which has been received by the Ost. Deutsche Post : "ODEssa, Aug. 25.—The arrival of the Emperorof All the Russias has probably been postponed en account of the occurrences on the Baltic, for the preparations making in the apartments in the Boulevard, which he was to have occupied, have been suspended. Next week there will be grand manceuvres here under the personal direction of Adjutant-General Luders. 40 battalions,. 82 squadrons, and 18 batteries will take the field. Odessa will be attacked and defended, and the line of attack will extend from the village of Lutsdorf to Mount Shawachoff. Yesterday a part of Gen. Grothenjelm's light cavalry division passed through the city on its way to the camp, which is on the east side of it ; and soon after several reserve battalions of the 11th Infantry Di vision followed. Officers belonging to the Imperial Guard are seen lounging about the streets, and their presence is a proof that the Guard Corps is not far dis tant. A part of it is said to be already in Bessarabia. Yesterday a report circulated here that the Allies bad been totally defeated before Seba , .topol, and the Victoria Battery and the works on Mount Sapoun taken. The police has arrested the person who spread the false news. "For some time past a notice from the Post Depart ment has been lying on the tables of the clubs, recom mending military men to read the Austrian Military Gazette, and civilians to direct their attention to 'the Prussian corropondence.' " The Sebastopol letters of the Vienna Militdr geitung have never found their way into my corre spondence, and its news from the seat of war has always been received with extreme reserve. The Morgen Post has taken the trouble to quote some of the "grossest improbabilities" contained in the recent Russian bulletins from the White Sea, but they appear irrefutable truths when compared to the St. Petersburg accounts of the effec ts of the bom bardment of Sweaborg. It is whispered in Russian circles that the real loss to the State may amount to about 20,000,0001 The Anhalt Gazette has private advices from the German colony at Ascania Nova, near Perekop, that the effects of the war are more and snore felt. Great numbers of troops pass, and conflicts sometimes occur between them about the water, which in that neighbourhood can only be drawn in small quantities from the wells. Not long since the colonists who were between the ages of 16 and 30 were obliged to enter the army. To-morrow the Emperor Francis Joseph will leave the Castle of Laxenburg, and travel, by way of Styria, to Ischl. _ . Our last direct advices from Constintinople are of the 23d. Two Turkish divisions, under Osman and Sefer Pasha, remain at nalaklava, and preparations are being made for supplying the men with winter tents and fur cloaks. On the 21st the new French and British gun-boats entered the Bosphorus. The latter are armed with mortars. Abdi Pasha, who was with Guyon in Anatolia, is now the Commis sioner of the Porte at Varna, and is superintend ing the embarkation of the Turkish troops. THE BALTIC. - - The Independance Belge publishes the following Letter, dated Hamburg, Ist inst.:-- "We have ascertained the motive of the unexpected arrival at Kiel, of the French liner Austerlitz, of 101 guns. That fine vessel, which already experienced diffe rent accidents during the first campaign in the Baltic, was recently twice driven on sandbank; and her keel has suffered such serious injury that it was found necessary to send her back to France to undergo repairs. The English bomb vessels, ordered to England by Admiral Dundas, are still lying at Elsinore, awaiting further in structions from the Government. They cannot be em ployed again this year in any operation, being completely unserviceable. Theirconstruction as ships of waris deficient in solidity, and professional men who have inspected them cannot conceive how the Admiralty could seed such slight vessels to so dangerous a sea as the Baltic. The French transport Marne had arrived at Nargen, with the war materiel destined for the squadron of Rear- Admiral Penaud. The two French gun-boats Argue buse and St. Barbe are still at Kiel waiting the orders of their Governments. The number of days favourable to naval operations in the Gulf of Finland is rapidly diminishing, and the Allied fleets will soon be com pelled to retire by the equinoctial gales. The rector of the University of HeNngfors, in Finland, has announced that, in consequence of the continua tion of the war, all the lectures, which were to com mence on the Ist inst., would he suspended till the cessation of hostilities. The English ship of the line Sanspareil, lately arrived at Kiel, with an enormous cargo of projectiles for the English fleet, weighed anchor yesterday to return to England, with her entire cargo, on receipt of a telegraphic despatch to that effect. Admiral Dundas will not consequently receive those munitions of war which be had so earnestly applied for. It may be inferred from this fact that no other operation is contemplated in the Baltic before next spring. The crew of the transport Cottineham, wrecked in the be ginning of August, on the coast of the island of Goth land, passed yesterday through Hamburg, on their way to England. The sick and wounded on board were for tunately saved, and no life was lost." SPAIN. We learn by a despatch from the Captain-General of Catalonia to the Minister of War, dated the 27th ult., that the Carlist chief Borges had collected fifty or 69 men, and surprised a detachment of the in fantry regiment of Victoria, commanded by Capt. Gabriel Rubinles, who, after a stout resistance, being wounded, with five of his men, the remainder took to flight, leaving some ,prisoners in the hands of-the Carlists, who had two men killed and four wounded. The same band entered the city of Biosca, attacked the house of the Commandant, whose herse and arms they carried off, but were quickly pursuedby the National Guard, who wounded several of the band and dispersed the remainder. This clearly proves that the Carlists have not abandoned their plans of a civil war. ev claln - s e" r CRYSTAL PALACE.—ON E S HILLING DAY, - e by -- Sept. 5. —Ad e issione , n pay men t, 9.136 • ditto diolif son tickets, 616—total visitors, 9,752• Correa'° day last year, 8,496. ....- It 6lflr RISE IN THE PRICE OF B READ AND FLOU er iu._ . day thrJughout the metropoli s a r i se in the corfr bread tank pl ace o f d.I on the, 4!h. loaf, an d • spending increase in the price of flour. 0 1° Pirt erle On Tuesday m o rn in g , a t th e E xhi bi t i o n of , a connection with th e No r f o lk an d N orw ich -r 1 " / sfe'" Association, five prizes, a moun ti ng i n v alue to 36 ' drawn for. el, l ie ve ss- - orr NEW FLOATING FIRE-ENGINE.—A large 00 P d _ tended to be fitted up with a very powerful sfiackemai engine, has been built at Mr. Mare's yar d ' 13 0 0, 1 ; jo When completed it will replace the floatilli o na present moored near Southwark-bridge, wh ic 0 removed to Rotherhitre. 00 een e $ The underw r it ers o f Glasgow have pa id tbeiri e 10 t by , on the ship P ac k e t o f Glaseow, which Pal led ft° te a go, to pace for Austr a li a more t h an twe l ve months "- COP' has never been heard of since she put into the thr refit. ei rwin i k 3 0, At the annual licensing meeting of - -° o f 11, ri f ee magistrates renewed 583 licenses for the sale,. sur co ' .„ and granted 16 out of 26 fresh applications. -r c l o o f 07 0 old licenses were cancelled on account of Jil t &it ° L e e duct having been permitted in the houses , ". e ying - declared to have' lapsed, the premises not .0 0 , 0 „ t io v used as public-houses during the past twelve ' ,j e ll fie l O f The Golden Age, a splendid clipper Ain, e l ' o ber o f from Liverpool for Australia, with a larg e , beg l i f e passengers and a full car g o in December 10 " o ffereu b ie been heard of since and 50 per cent. has h r ee l e po' ° ,.,‘ 3 s the underwriters here to insure her. -" :., by sere that she may have been dismasted, or drive.' to w hee i i, of weather, into some out-of-the-way Phil i h , r o t ° ' /3 01 ,,, a it1l communication is rare and di ffiestlt.--NGr' was, 00 , As Gener a l Cros4e, of th e Belgian ave." a fter l l 3e l• the other superior efficers, going on MondaY f t he c g at, the camp of Beverioo, to receive the Sing !o/d, ba ck gians and the Count de Fiandres, he suddenolfuo'd A dr SOUTHAMPTON, SEPT. 5. on his II °lee, and then fell Melees to theg r , b.

Woolley, arrived this morning with the West India and Pacific mails, 58 passengers, $490,738 in specie, $34,877 valug in plate pina, $4OO pearls and jewellery, and a full general cargo. Her dates are—Jamaica, Aug. 11 ; Demerara, 10 ; Trinidad, 12 ; Barbadoes, 15 ; S t . Th omas ' , 22. The Eagle, with the mails from the Windward route, broke down, and was obliged to return to Grenada, and the mails from Demerara and Trini dad were sent to St. Thomas's in a hired vessel. The mails from Barbadoes were also sent on to St. Thomas's in a hired ship.
