We cannot in duce ourselves to believe it. We cannot for the life of us credit so very easily the rumour of aby such unexpected and most lamentable disaster. We have altogether too large a confidence in the strategical resources of our ovin gallant WILLIANFi, we have altogether too implicit a reliance upon the unflagging energies and upon the unflinching determination of the brave KMETY, to yield our faith at once so very readily to the stat emen t s now put forth upon no discernible authority that ISMAIL PACHA (KMETY) has contrived to effect his escape, and that the English General (WIL- LrAms) has been compelled to offer to the Russians terms of a tardy but inevitable capitulation. The intelligence which has arrived to this purport, still, we conceive, requires confirmation. Granted that our " wish" is father to our unbelief, granted that we may oven now to all appearance be only hoping against hope—still, we repeat, whatever may be the construction placed upon our incredu lity, we do feel a very extraordinary reluctance to ueeept, as beyond all further doubt, the assurance that Kars has fallen, that GOneral MOURAVIEFF has ttlriintlPhed, that General KMETY has retreated, en er4 l Wri.r.rAms has been driven by famine to capitulate, Let us give very briefly the grounds for our incredulity. Let us state.simply and plainly the reasolis 'why we conceive ourselves justified iu still boring. that the beleaguered city has held out to V.ie last against its assailants. It must be ob served, then, in the first instance, that the an nouncement of the fall of - Kars com es to us from a direction, to say the least of it, exceedingly sus picious. It was intimated first of all in the Ger 7nan. Frankfort Journal that the garrison, r avaged at once by f am i ne an d typhus, despaired alto ge th er of - being able to maintain their defence beyond 'ho 1 8th of November. But discredit appears to b e at once cast upon this announcement by the double circumstance that the statement thus made 1 1 the Frankfort Journal was dated as far back the of November, and that the news re ceived directly from Asia itself exceeds the time actually calculated therein, coming down indeed as recently as the 19th (not the 18th, observe ! tut the 19th) of November. At which last-mentioned d a t e v ,-e know that Kars had 'not fallen, that General KMETY had not retreated, that General 3,IOURAVIEFF had not triumphed, that General WILLIAMS had not capitulated. Again, whereas the correspondent of the Pays has spoken of various unsatisfactory rumours as rigs LON.Dtvgi WEDNESRAILItv,rNit4Iit_DECEMBER 10, 16b8, being current of late in Constantinople, to the effect that the heroic defenders of Kars have been compelled to succumb under the pressure simul taneously of disease and starvation, not a syllable is by our blustering and bumptious old friend. the Invalide Busse, corroborative of any such victory to the banners of the CZAR ! And surely, as G alignani itself has suggested, the official organ of the Russian Government would not remain thus modestly silent about a triumph like this won by the Muscovite soldiers under the command of General MOURIVIEFF ? There is one misfortune, certainly, about the situation of Kars, a peculiarity very lamentable under existing circumstances, we mean the really deplorable fact, that the man entrusted with the responsibility of carrying relief to the beleaguered garrison is a general like SELIM PACHA, one of those hesitating, do nothing, laissez-faire, fainéant captains, un happily so numerous among the Turkish com manders. From Erzeroum to Kars it is a dis tance very nearly of a hundred miles, as from Kars to Kutais it is a distance of upwards of a hundred. According to advicea from Erzeroum, dated the 13th ult., it was stated that OMER PACHA had already by that time entered Kutais, the victori ous commander-in-chief having previously com pelled the enemy to beat a retreat successively from Sugdidi and Usurghetti. According to later accounts from the same quarter, it appears that SELIM PACHA having promised to set forth, at the latest upon the 14th, on his projected march for the relief of Kars, had postponed his eagerly looked-for movement until the 16th, and was expected to delay and delay still later, notwith standing all the urgent representations made to him upon the folly of such procrastination by the various English officers - stationed at Erzeroum. Re membering that every day all that while has been of vital import to the garrison of Kars : bearing in mind, moreover, that the forces actually under the orders of SELIM amounted, according to the last advioes from his head-quarters, to 5,000 infantry, to 1,500 regular and 500 ir regular cavalry, together with 24 guns, and from 1,500 to 2,000 Bashi-Bazouks : and knowing well,. as we do, that the only obstacle to an ad vance of this inestimable assistance towards Kars was discernible only in a small Russian column numbering merely from 3,000 to 4,000 in the aggregate, and armed simply with six guns of very moderate calibre—it becomes absolutely mad dening to reflect upon the jeopardy in which the heroic WILLIAMS and his valiant "brother in arms and rival in renown," the brave KMETY, have been placed, wilfully and shamefully placed, by SELIM PACHA'S suspicious, if not actually criminal, hesitation. Even yet, we maintain, it is still to be hoped that the 4efence already made by the garrison of Kars 11: not been all i n va i n , b u t that, even thou it be at the el e v en th hourand three-quarters, assistance mayat last have enabled the famished and fever-stricken heroes to escape the calamity of a capitulation. Should, however, the worst fears of their friends be ulti mately realised, in spite of all their burning aspi rations to the contrary, it must be remembered of these glorious soldiers of Kars, how bravely they have maintained their position to the very last, until driven out of it by the irresistible force of deadly disease and utterly prostrating starva tion. Be it remembered, in that extreme event--which GOD ferefend—that even heroes cannot achieve impossibilities, and that his tory relates how even MassuNa, in 1800, oven MASSENA, the " spoilt child of victory," perhaps the greatest in some respects of all the great Marshals of NAPOLEON, was compelled, by the sheer force of famine, to capitulate at Genoa, while the First Consul was annihilating, as by one crashing thunderbolt of war, the Austrian power over Italy upon the bloody plain of Ma rengo. Whatever betide them say we therefore —Honour to the Heroes of Kars, to KMETY, to WILLIAMS, to the whole glorious garrison ! Why, however, in the name of humanity, in the name of common sense, in the name of HEAVEN, why have not the Allies sent long since to the relief of Kars not 6,000 or B,oob Turks, but 10,000 or 12,000 Frenchmen ? Why, in stead of leaving all to the dilatory caprice of SELIM PACHA, have we not entrusted to a dashing General like BosnuET or WixDuam, the enviable privilege of carrying succour to the beleaguered garrison of Kars ? Why not have landed aid such as this not at Trebizond or Surmenah, but at Riz;ih or Atonah—enabling the gallant soldiers under Isafart PACHA and Gen. WILLIAMS tolook for assistance not to a handful of Bashi-Bazouks and irregular Turkish horsemen, but to an adequate army of relief composed cf Zouaves or of High landers ? Why ? again and again we ask, in the name of humanity, of common sense, of HEAVEN, Why ? The answer, we fear, may be discoverable partly in the lukewarmuess of the authorities a.. home, and partly in the incompetence, or, speaking otherwise more plainly, in the lack of good gene ralship among the authorities abroad, at the seat of war, in fact among the Allied Commanders-in Chief ! The Vienna peace bubbles have burst already, and unless they had been something substantial the sooner the illusion vanishes the better. Satisfied as we aro that a premature peace would be a very costly one, it yet was hardly possible to escape the fascinations of " peace and plenty." With the tusjerity of us fancy strove to impo , e on judgment, and if as journalists we did not ex press all we felt, it was because we would not be guilty of cherishing and propagating pleasing but mischievous delusion. We can have no more relish than other persons for War taxes, and War prices ; but we owe to the public the grave duty o f n ot p an d er i ng to our corn_ mon wishes, b u t o f encourag i ng the sub ordination of the most reasonable desires to the claims of national duty ofauEurdtohp. the permanent welfare of this country a nd It is, however, now pretty generally acknow. edged that Russia has made no sign of p eace, and that Austria and Prussia are not the bearers of any propositions likely to satisfy the Allies, and of which they can guarantee their acceptance by Russia. At the same time no party has the im pudence to pretend that Austria can be regarded for a moment, if she affect again to act the part of mediatrix, and to preside in a conference with the plenipotentiaries of the belligerents. It is only as a herald that she can now bo listened to. If Russia chose to employ her in that capacity we might listen to Russia avowedly speak ing through her, but it would surely cost Louis NAP OLEON his thro ne an d L or d P ALMERBTON hi s place if th ey were caught in the trap of Austrian jugglery a second time. What a different cam paign would this summer's have been if that in fernal machine at Vie nna h ad not deterred army, navy, and Cabinets from adequate winter prepa rations and early spring activity. Now that Consols are •falling. again, and St. Petersburg and Paris alike give no reasonable hope of peace, it is worth while to ask ourselves whether the War is really the cause of most of the evils we complain of. Taxation is a measurable and certain difference. We ku9w how much more we have to pay in that shape. But when the War is saddled with the pressure on the money market, with tl e high prices of food and the deadness of trade, we incline to think it but in small part answerable for these things. We much doubt whether, if preliminaries of peace were signed to morrow, the effect would not be, possibly, a momentary lowering of prices, but as certainly a rapid rise again to their present level, or very nearly so. Our reason for thinking so is, that our general trade, our manufactures, exports, and imports, are in as satisfactory a state as in most years of peace. The production of the country has not fallen off ; and so late as Oatober the number of ships which cleared both in wards and outwards with their tonnage was considerably more in 1855 than in 1854, amount ing, indeed, in the latter ease, to a difference of one thousand ships, and two hundred and twenty five thousands of tonnage ! It cannot be supposed, then, that production is checked. Again, the working classes are on the whole earning higher wages than ever, and in most cases the rise is equal to the advanced cost of living. It must be borne in mind that a vast part of the War expenditure employs our forges, our woollen manufacturers, our shipwrights, and our artisans in almost every line. By far the larger part of the money is spent on the productions of this Icountry ; we fully believe that to the great mass of our working men the return of peace will bring a diminution rather than an in crease of employment ; at least we must think it improbable that prices will fall materially, while it is almost certain that the demand for labour will be less. Even the money sent to the East is far from being unserviceable to the English workman. It is a striking fact that the exports of English produce to the East, not connected directly with the War, amounts to the enormous sum of five millions and a half more than in 1853. To that extent or thereabouts the money our armies have spent in the East has been returned by the natives in the purchase of produce shipped from British ports. It would be well if, when our peace orators are declaim ing to our workmen on the War and the little loaf, they would also inform them that Turks, Syrians, Egyptians, &c., have purchased ive millions and a half more, through the War itself, of the produce of their labour. Our working classes are not, it is true, the recreants which a few of their betters would make them, but they ought to know that the trade which maintains them is, perhaps, on the whole in creased rather than diminished by the War. One fact is undeniable, the increase of our trade with the countries bordering on the Levant, the Arche pelago, and the Black Sea, is much larger than the total of our previous trade with Russia ! So much for the injury of the War to trade. But then the high prices and the uneasy money market—are not these caused by the war ? Not in all cases, certainly. We have more sugar and tea than peace would have given us ; since they have become luxuries hardly procurable in Rus sia, her consumption of it is nearly all left in the Western markets, yet sugar is now fully 50 per cent. dearer than in the summer. There is much reason to think that had the spare wheat of Russia been thrown also upon the markets of the West it would not have affected its price appreciably. In many parts of Russia itself the crop was deficient ; and so deficien't in closely adjoining countries that we are told there is no profit on shipments from Dantzie. The plain truth is, that America is the only corn-growing country blessed this year with a plentiful harvest—that Europe has suffered from deficient crops, and that we are so far better off than our neighbours as to have been most frequently the exporting country. That the principal exports of Russia, such as cotton and hemp, should be dear is a matter of course ; that, however, is but an inconsiderable burden. As to the high price of money, it is mere begging the question to attribute that to the War. The currency laws are still as artificial as the corn laws were till lately ; till they also are brought under the grand principles of Free Trade, the value of money will be no index of the natural condition of the money market, and no inference can be drawn from its actual state. We all know that in time of the profoundest peace money has more than once been dearer than it is even now. Under a natural system its value would, of course, fluc tuate ; but, as with corn and sugar at the pre sent time, it would doubtless be easy for us to discover the causes. We do not mean to assert that the War affects us in no way bnt through the tax-gatherer ; but if the compensations which it brings to trade are taken into account, we cannot but think its effects most absurdly exaggerated. They are the easiest JACK CADE clap-trap with which to catch the multi tude, and though the multitude seems slow to take the bait, it will be long held out to them. We need not think the wheat and meat orators dishonest ; they no doubt easily believe what looks so plau sible an argument for their predetermined con clusion, but it is so much the more to the credit of those who cannot see through it that they will not sell the national honour for the mess of pot tage. All honour to the working men of Eng land. Mr. COBDEN will not persuade them to change profitable employ for a soldier's life, to prove their English spirit, but also he will not persuade them, by promises of a cheap loaf, to shake hands too quickly with the Despot of Despots. The English soul of the most illiterate amongst them hates the whole tribe of people crushers, and they would gladly pay their last pen*y rather than see our Army and Navy slink off without giving Russia " a good thump ing." It is curious to think what a host of in genious evasions we should have, if those who charge high prices, to the War were required by a sudden windfall of peace to verify the charges after that event ? Were it really proba ble, we believe few indeed would make contracts on the strength of their own arguments, to sell at ten or twenty per cent, lower after the War was terminated. a o avaEilYe7t the itself eleventh fthe e ia u hu s o e i r n t h t h e eAct of Governmen tlB 4 h 4a s and permitted the Bank of England to increase the amount of Securities in the Issue Department by 475,000/.) ornearly two-thirds of 712,6231., the amount which, under statute, might have been • circulated by bankers who have ceased to issue th • eir own notes. This m ay afford some temporary, relief, but it • is clearly inadequate to meet the exigencies of the case, or to form even a foundation for a permanent ar rangement. It is perhaps right, as Parliament will not meet before the end of January, that ad vantage should be taken of the existing l aw , se as to avert the necessity of demanding an act of indemnity from the Legislature. We should deeply lament the change if it could be regarded as a final settlement. There is nothing worse than " cobbling " or striving to bolster up a defective foundation— "Melius est potere fontes quanb sectani rivulos." We should at once go to the fountain head rather than attempt to mitigate trivial annoyances con_ nected with a matter radically wrong. It is es. sential that the en tiro monetary code should be revised, and a wise and judicious system substi tuted for that which has occasioned so much dis tress and suffering to the industrial community. Notice must be iveu during the ensuing session to the "Old Lady" to bring the pment iniqui tous law to a conclusion, and the substituted re gulations must be carefully considered, so that the nation may derive the utmost possible advantage from the change. The question is one of ." prin ciple," which cannot be decided by any trifling alteration in matters of detail. The issuing of money, or that which may be used as a legal tender, is one -of the most unquestionable prerogatives of the Crown. Hitherto it has been delegated to a trading corporation, which has exercised a monopoly very profitable to itself, but exceed ingly injurious to the community at large. We now want " free trade " in money, or rather in currency, so that any person who can offer satis factory security may be permitted to issue notes, or, if a monopoly must be• retained, that the National Exchequer may receive the benefit thereof, and that the large profits may serve to reduce the amount of the public burdens, and re lieve the too heavily-weighted taxpayers of some portion of their responsibilities. The immediate "profits," however, form but a very trivial portion of the consideration. It is far more important for the great body of the people that there should be a circulating medium, adequate to their exigencies, and capable of de veloping the latent resources of the country. It is a suitable measure and representative of value that is required, and it is no more necessary that the measure should possess intrinsic value than that a standard-yard should be made of unalloyed gold. That it should pass current, or have the " pur chasing power," is all that can be required. It will be gladly accepted when the reci pient is certain that he can pay it away in dis charge of his public or private liabilities to the tax-collector, or the tradesman who supplies him with articles of daily consumption. For these matters a really national note of small denomination is clearly the best. TLere can be no question as to the solvency of the issuer ; the holder will know that he is himself responsi ble with all his wealth and all his labour for its liquidation. It will be far better than Con -1)15, for it must be received in liquida tion of his duties or taxes, and the visits of the collectors, being neither few nor far between, he can. either dispose of them himself, or, if he should be so fortunate as to hold more than he requires for his own purposes, can easily find applicants or purchasers for the residue. Notes for 1/., 21., and 31. satisfactorily secured, will liberate from thirty to forty millions of sove reigns, now in circulation, and render them available for our foreign commerce, and for what is even more important at the present crisis, the energetic maintenance of the War in which we are involved. LATEST NEWS. FALL OF KARS. We (Morning Post) regret to state that authentic intelligence has been received, which leaves no doubt as to the fate of Kars. Ismail Pacha (General Kmety), with another officer, who succeeded in eluding the vigilance of the Russian outposts, have effected their escape. When they quitted Kars, General Williams had been compelled by famine to send a flag of truce to the Russian camp, offering capitulation. GENERAL MOURAVIEFFS REPORT. The Invalide Russe publishes the following ex tract from the periodical report of General Mou ravieff, dated from the camp of Tchivtli-tchai, the 29th of October (10th-November):— " The blockade of Kars continues ; our de tachments daily capture Turks who are taking flight from the fortress, and attack the enemy's foraging and detached parties. Thus on the 13th (25th) of October, Major-General Count Nyrod, having observed that 200 foragers had left Kars iu the direction of leui-Keni, sent a detachment of the Ist regiment of Mussulman cavalry against them, commanded by Ensign Rostom-Bek-Liala- Bekoff. Having secretly advanced upon the enemy, our cavalry charged vigorously. The Turks fled towards their fortifications, with the loss of two men killed, and leaving six wounded in our hands. "In the night between the 19th and 20th of October (31st of October and Ist of November) about 40 Lazes attempted to force a passage through the outpost of our detachment near Malik Keui. In the skirmish which ensued 23 of the Lazes were killed, two wounded, and 10 made prisoners. On our side one Cossack was killed and two wounded. "On the morning of the 21st of Oct. (2d of Nov.) two columns of Turkish Infantry, having left the Schorakh heights, occupied the ridge of the Observatory-hill with riflemen, and opened fire against our picquet ; our reserve coming up compelled the enemy • to retire within his fortifi- cations. "Meantime, General Mouravieff, having re peatedly received information that the troops of Vely Pasha were shortly expected at Kars with considerable provisions, ordered the Commander of the Erivan detachment to cross the Dram-Dagh, and to stop the enemy by advancing from Kerpi- Keuv. "On the 17th (29th) of October Major-General Sousloff's detachment reached the defile of Kara- Derbent ; on the approach of our troops the Turkish cavalry, about 1,000 strong, which occu pied the neighbouring heights, fell back on Youz- Verian. "On the 18th (30th) the enemy concentrated about 2,000 Bashi-Bazouks between that village and Komatsor ; the remainder of the troops under Vely Pasha (numbering from 6,000 to 7,000 in fantry and about 1,600 horse) advanced from Dava-Boinou on Hassan-Kaleh ; moreover, 2,000 Btshi-13azouks took up a position near Deli-Baba and Khorassan, and a garriion of from 2,000 to 3,000 men was left to guard Erzeroum. "On the 19th (31st) of October Colonel Lik houtine of the Staff, by order of General Sous- loff, made a reconnaissance in the direction of Kerpi-Iteuv. Near Youz-Verian our detachment came upon about 2,000 Bashi-Bazouks, whom we forced to withdraw after a smart skirmish. "On the 20th of October (let of November) Yelp Pasha, alarmed at the appearance of our flying detachment near Ardost, and wishing to avoid a battle with General Sousloff's troop; withdrew behind the river Nabitchai, leaving about 1,000 Bashi-Bazouks, near the villages of Yagani and Kordobaz, not far from Dava-Boinou." Several of the Paris journals publish letters from the East, but they do not contain any new facts of interest. Omer Paella was on the point of receiving considerable reinforcements, which would permit him to advance siill further into Mingrelia ; meanwhile, ho was collecting provi sions and supplies, in the face of any eventuality which might arise. The most unsatisfactory rumours were current at Constantinople, accord ing to the correspondent of the Pays, with re• spect to the fate of Kars. The heroic garrison of that place, decimated by disease and famine, is reported to have capitulated. This intelligence must be premature, for the Invaliele Russe would otherwise have already acclaimed the triumph of General Mouravieff. The German, Frankfort Journal says :—" Sclirrr Paella has boon compelled to renounce his attempt to relieve Kars, because his detachment of 6,000 regulars and 5,000 irregular troops, which was to guard the great convoy of provisions destined for the besieged town, was too late to pass the defiles occupied by the enemy. In Kars the distress was at its height, for famine and typhus ravaged the garrison, which only received a third of its primi tive rations. The garrison did not hope to be able to maintain themselves beyond the 18th November, when they would be forced to surren der if not succoured." The date of this communication is November 3, and we have news up to November 19, when we know Kars had not fallen. val in tLs.same capital of Count Stackelberg from St. Petersburg, and on the same pleasing mis sion, to complete our hopes. Some days ago very serious doubts were expressed in official quarters hero that Russia was disposed to accept the propositions of Austria of the satisfactory kind I have already described. It is now said, how ever, that Russia does accept them, and that she has signified her intention to Austria. It is also believed that the English Government does not refuse, and of the willingness of France no one has a doubt. It is evident then that, if all parties agree on the point, peace nrty he consi dered certain. At all events, peace is now gene rally believed to be at hand ; let us hope that we may not be again doomed to disappointment— provided that peace be such as is consistent with the dignity of two such nations as France and England. FINANCIAL CRISIS IN RUSSIA. The Russian Government has ordained that to facilitate payments from the State treasury the normal proportion of bullion to be held by the Bank against notes in circulation shall be diminished. It is feared that the payment of the interest o. tho public debt will be suspended. Despatches from St. Petersburg also state tha the Rnssian Government is making every exertion to form a fleet of steam gun-boats. MARSEILLES, DEc. 12. The Gauge has arrived, with advices from Con stantinople of the 3d inst. She does not bring anything from the Crimea. Despatches leave at 9 a.m. The Indian mail has arrived. The despatches leave at 8 p.m. PROBABILITIES OF PEACE. The Paris Correspondent of the Times (Second Edition), in his letter, dated yesterday evening says :—.. " Peace is, unquestionably, still the order of the day. It is in everybody's mouth, probably in everybody's heart, and the least credulous— those who treated the adhesion of Sweden, the mission of Count Munster, and the friendly intervention of Austria with contemptuous disbelief—or who traced what has been said about them to the fertile imagination of journalists—are now silent, or sullenly admit that there is something in it after all.' The arrival of M. de Serre, Secretary to the French Embassy at Vienna, as announced in the journals of that capital, has produced a good effect ; and M. de Serre is said to be the bearer of a satisfac tory reply from this Government and the assent of England to the proposition or overtures of Austria• We now only wait the news of the arri- THE KING OF SARDINIA. TURIN, DECEMBRR 12. The King arrived here last night, and found at Susa the Prince of Carignano. The Ministers and an immense crowd waited to receive the King at the railway station, and welcomed his Majesty with the utmost enthusiasm. FRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING. The Emperor yesterday gave an audience to M. Burnand, Lieut.-Col. of Artillery on the Swiss Staff. The mortal remains of Admiral Bruat arrived at four o'clock yesterday morning at the station of the Lyons railway, accompanied by Rear-Admiral Jurien de la Graviere, chief of his staff, Captain Vicomte d'Herbringhem, aide-de-camp to Ad m i ra l Hamelin, Minister of Marine, who was sent to Toulon to bring up the body, Captain Lejeune of the Black Sea fleet, M. Boutel, commissary of the same fleet, M. Filleau, sub-commissary of ditto, and secretary of the late Admiral, and an ecclesias tic. The coffin was placed in the chapelle ardente prepared at the station, and a detachment of the 48th regiment was under arms in the chapel. After remaining a short time in the chapel, the body was removed in a hearse to the Invalides, and was there received by the Governor and the principal officers. It was then placed in a chapelle ardente, and prayers were said over it in the course of the day and during the night.

A letter from Constantinople of the 29th ult., in the Gazette du Midi, says :- 1 "The concession of the canal of Kustendji was granted this day to a company formed of English, Austrian, and French capitalists, and comprising for Turkey to wealthy capitalists, Mustapha Paula and Mandl Pacha. The company has been formed under the auspices of the Am bassadors of France, England, and Austria, at Constan tinople. The canal will cost 500,000/. sterling, and a large port which is to be formed will cost 1,000,0001. This important decision is a practical solution of the second guarantee of the Conferences of Vi enna, and will give - a mortal blow to Odessa, whi c h w ill no longer be the principal port of the Rack Sea. It is to he hope:l that the Turkish Ministers will pkrist in this line of policy, as it is only by obtaining the aid of foreign capital that Europe can be made to tAke an in terest in this country. Russia Ills always seen that the cutting of this canal would be a mortal blow toiler trade; and when some years ago Austria spoke on the project, the Cabinet of St. Petersburg declared that it would make the execution of it a casus Belli. The Porte is se riously occupying itself with the drawing up of a code of proceedings in commercial matt-rs in accord ance w ith the general principles of consular jurisdiction in Europe. The commission, charged with the duty, is composed of several judges of the Tribunal of Commerce, Mussul mans and Christians, and of the dragomans of the diffe rent legations ; and is presided over by Remzi Eff.ndi." RUSSIA. We have received the St. Petersburg journals of the 4th December. The Journal de St. Petersbourg publishes the following : " Under date of the 19th of November (Ist of Decem ber), 10 p.m., Aide•de-Camp•General Prince Gortsclia koff has sent the following telegraphic message : " Everything goes on well in the Crimea—there is nothing new. A❑ enemy's picket has been surprised on the south side. On this occasion 10 Frenchmen were captured. " A Turkish captain has been made prisoner near Euoatoria.' " Under the heading " News from the East Coast of the Black Sea," the Journal de St. Petersbourg publiilies the following : " Major-General Prince Bagratton-Moukhranaky, en ' trusted with the command of the Guriel detachment, announces from his position on the river Diva, under date of the 31st of October and let of November (12th and 13. h of November), that the enemy, whose principal forcei occupy Zougdidi, has pushed forward a portion of his troops to the village of Kh4ti, and by the upp er Mingrelian-road, on Tehanis-Tskhs,l4. On the Redout- Kaleh side the Turks continue to make roads on both sides of the Khopi. " The Turks have reinforced their KobouliSti detach ment by a landinv of .Nizams, and, after having occupied Legvy and Otchkamour with regular troops, they corn inenced their offensive movement. On the 29th October (10th November) about 400 men left the St. Nicholas station, and took the directiost of the Tchokhat bridge, which had been destroyed by us, but, met on this point by the Guriel militia, they withdrew with a small loss of killed and wounded. " On the 30th October (11th November) heavy masses of the enemy's infantry and cavalry advanced on the village of Likhaour (south of Usurgbeti), but on this point also, after an hour's combat, they fell back on the river Teholok. "We had three militiamen killed and three wounded. It is reported that the enemy's loss was considerable. Before the 28th of October (9th of November) the Ko bouleti detachment had received additional reinforce ment. 4, and its effective strength now amounts to 15,000 regular infantry and 3,000 cavalry, with 14 pieces of artillery, without counting a considerable number of Bashi-Bazouks." A letter from St. Petersburg of the Ist, in the Cologne Gazette, says :—"All the fractious of the Russian army which distinguished themselves in the assault on Kars have received honourable re wards from 'the Emperor. Thus the Ist battalion of the Riasan Regiment has received the standard of St. George the Victorious, with the inscription, For its disting u i s hed conduct in the assault on Kars, the 29 t h Sept., 1805.'The dearth o f com manding officers has determined the Empero r t o Uppoiut some of his own aides - de - cz.mp and oler stall officers to regimental commands.

It will be opened on the arrival of the G:and Admiral and of rho Minister of War." A letter from Berlin says :—" The Emperor of Russia has charged General Vincent, Count Krasiuski, with the administration of the kingdom of Poland during the illness of Prince Paskiewitch. In the event of the death of the Prince, Count Rudiger, it is said, is to succeed him, provided the Grand Duke Nicholas be not .nominated Viceroy." SWEDEN. The Austrian. Gazette contains the following ex tract of a letter from Stockholm :—" In this city it is rumoured that preparations are about to be made to mobilise an army by the spring of 60,000 men. The news may appear doubtful, but it ex presses the public opinion on the subject. The mission of General Canrobert still remains the sole subject of conversation in the town and at court. Prince Charles, who is known to be one of the most zealous supporters of the Western Powers, had a private interview with General Canrobert during his visit, at which no aide-de-camp or other per- Foil was present. There does not seem to be a doubt that Sweden will be compelled, in the event of war continuing, to side actively with the Allies. This circumstance may influence the pacific inten tions of Russia." LYCEUM THEATRE. Last evening was the celebration of the hundredth performance of The Wizard of the North at this theatre, and the house, externally illuminated and decorated, was crowded to suffocation. All went off, as usual, as "m•nTy as a marriage bell." Our attendance was, in some de gree, compulsory, being in virtue of a dread summons, issued in the names of grisly Dis, and the Judges Three of Erebus profound, to put in appearance on the great occasion, and couched in phraseology calculated to make the hearts of the simple-minded wax timorous and faint. Confiding, however, in the known benignity of the Mighty Magus, we obeyed and trembled not, not alto gether unmoved thereto by a courteous intimation con veyed in the final clauie of the mystic document, and which was carried out in a highly refreshing manner. After the regular entertainment of the night, a group of choice spirits were evoked at the Wizard's hospitable behest, and libations were enthusiastically offered to his health and prosperity, and the homage of applause like wise befell the honoured names of Albert Smith and Flexntore, the chief celebrities present. Cevent•Garden looms in the approaching future—the scene of the Professor's most triumphant career, if talent, energy, taste, and liberal expenditure meet with their due reward. Without the slightest misgiving we pro phesy the decided and deserved success, at Christmas, of Mr. Anderson's " Magic Pantomime" of The Field of the Cloth, of Gold. THE VONSTEtc IfiliDEL OF SEBASTOPOL. A. large model of the fortifications of Sebastopol, and the siege works before it, is now being exhibited in the Hanover-square Rooms. The dinaensions of the model are 17 feet by 11, the horizontal scale 18 inches t) the mile, the vertical considerably more, an d t h e model being coloureJ, the coup-d'ceil present e d to the visitor is ui e x ceedingly perfo tion bollw w hi ch will shortly b e remedied, mayd picturesqu e . A . few errors and i catch the eye of the nice critical spectator, but it would be difficult to conceive an exhibition better calculated to impress the mind with the magnitude of the successes achieved, and the labours endured by the Allies in the triumphant prosecution of the siege. Let the visitor but glance at the giant Malakhoff, and the frowning Redan, and he will wonder, if be never did so before, how mor tal daring an(l ingenuity could sca'e those heights. The interest cf the exhibition is greatly enhanced by the presence of several wounded and mutilated soldiers who were present in the various struggles connected with the siege, and w h o are prepared to instruct the visitor in the mystery of siege works. ST. MARTI 2 ',4-BALL. "THE SEVEN AGES ,OF WOMAN." A new lyric entertainment has beer& produced, in an ticipation of adding to the amusements of the Christmas holiday-makers, in one of the rooms of the above establishment, in which Miss Emma Stanley takes upon herself to perform, and illustrate with appropriate cos tume "the Seven Ages of Woman." There are, besides, numerous other characters intro duced or connected with the above, for the purpose of amplifying the subject, all of which are represented in appropriate costumes, and are e 'angel with amazing ra pidity, which, together with a great many soma, exe cuted w:th much talent and cffect, render this a most excellent entertainment, and highly creditable to the varied powers of Miss Emma Stanley, who, if tea! merit meet its due reward, will receive a large share of public patronage. PREVENTION OF ACCIDENTS BY FIRE IN THEATRES. TO TAE EDITOR OF THE SUS. Silt,—The late lamentable and fatal accident at the Plymouth Theatre, which was almost a counterpart of that which befel Miss Clara Webster a few years since, induces me through your columns to offer a hint to the managers of metropolitan and provincial theatres, whereby they will be enabled, in a simple and inexpen- sive way, effectually to prevent the recurrence of these terrible disasters. Let the glass chimney of every gas light which is placed in a position of even remote danger be surmounted by a hollow sphere of fine copper wire gauze. This sphere should not be less than twice the diameter of the chimney ; and a segment of the same diameter as the chimney must be cut from it, and a light brass ring and holder firmly attached thereto, so that the whole may he placed securely upon the top of the glass. It then constitutes to all intents and purposes a safety lamp, when burned in a non-explosive atmosphere —the draught is noimpaired, and th•iug.h the hot gases pass through the meshes of the gauze, they are cooled by its radiating power below the temperature of igni tion, so that paper, or any light textile fabric, if held immediately over the light, might possibly be scorched, but would not burst into flame. This hint may be carried out by any ordinary gas-fitter, and wherever adopted the chances of fire will be almost entirely superseded. _ _ ISHAM DAGGS. London, Dec. 11, 1355.

The Nord of Brussels publishes the following telegraphic despatch from Hamburg " HAILBURG, Monday, Dec. 10.—We have just leaott that a squadron of 10 new screw gun-boats, accompanied by a Rte.rner and a man-of-war, bave entered the part of Sweaborg, coming from Cronstadt." SPAIN. We have received the Madrid journals of the 6th. The decimal system is to came into operation in all the custom-houses of the kingdom on the Ist January next. General Count Della Rocca, aide-de-camp of the King of Sardinia, has arrived in Brussels, with the mission, it is said, of saluting King Leopold on the part of his royal master. The Duchess Regent of Parma has issued a de cree, instituting a committee for the purpose of framing a law for the better regulation of Cham bers of Commerce, and of everything relating to the commercial legislation of the duchy. " We learn," says the Austrian Gazette, Cl that the King of Belgium has the intention of purcba:. ing for 4,600,000 florins, the domains of Count Festetits, in the island of Marakoy, in the Danubo. His Majesty already possesses a large domain in the comity of Zalad, formerly belonging to the family of Inkey." Her Majesty's steamer Dragon is making a round of visits to the different ports in the Baltic, to see that there are no Russian vessels lyingithere before finally quitting the Baltic. She looked in at Lubeck, yesterday (Dec. 8), and left us again that morning. The Second Chamber of Holland adopted, on SAturday, after two hours' debate, the budget of war by a majority of 37 votes to 26. Notwith standing the strength of this minority, a still more compact opposition to the Gover nmen t i s s t ate d b y the Dutch jou rna l s to be expected, as the amount of the budget has been severely criticised by several members. A letter from Copenhagen announces the death of M. Yaldes, the Charge d'Affaires of Portugal in that city. He had suddenly disappeared, as al ready stated, on the very day he had been a guest at the dinner given by the Court in honour of General Canrobert's arrival. His body was after wards found in one of the canals of the city. It is believed that he committed suicide in a fit of mental aberration. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, DEO. 11. There has been a firm and healthy tone in the market, and for yarns there has been, in addition to a good gene ral business, a fair demand in both mule and water twist for Germa , y, in India counts and qualities of mule, and in cops and warps suitable for the home trade. Prices are not quotably higher, but sellers have obtained prices which were given with reluctance last week, and in some cases refused. Water twist, suited to the China market, is very scarce. Yarn for manufacturing purposes may be considered about id. per lb. higher. In cloth there has not • been so much activity as in yarns. India skirtings aid madapollams are scare*, aid manufacturers having withdiawn their stocks yester day, in consequence of the hardening state of the Li verpool cotton market, for higher prices, buyers have held back a little. There is an impression that as soon as the large quantity of c , tton and wool afloat (esti mated at 150,000 to 170,000 bags) can get into Liver pool, the present upward tendency in the value of that article will receive a check, and buyers of manufactured goods are holding back accordingly. At lest week's prices sellers of India cloths might have done a fair busi• ness. In good T oloths and some other kinds of domes tics there is a moderate business, and prices generally are well sustained. For China cloths the demand is good at rather higher prices, and they are very scarce. The tone of the market is very healthy. LEEDS, DEC. 11. The markets for woollen cloths here this morning have been of quite a seasonable character, as well as to the amount of business done, as to the kinds of goods sold. The tone of the trade is rather better than at the close of the past month ; but, except a few purchases for the United States, actual business is confined to small orders for the home trade. In the aggregate, however, more cloth has changed hands than on this day week. The fall in the price of corn, and the amount of empleyment for artisans, manufacturing operatives, and labourers throughout the kingdom, give grounds for anticipating a fair trade during the winter months. Wool continues very steady in price, being folly as high as the manu facturers can pay with a reasonable chance of obtaining remuneration for their outlay and skill in the production of goods.- The report of the Huddersfield cloth market to-day is of a satisfactory character, more goods having been sold, and a Getter feeling having prevailed than at the pre ceding mat ket. Steel doeskins and mixtures of a better quality than what have lately been inquired for have been in fair demand. There is no noticeable change in the price of either wools or manufactured articles. THE RU_Ii()URED PEACE PROPOSALS. LORD PALMERSTON. - What passes at Cabinet Councils is presumed to be kept a profound secret ; and yet, somehow or other, things do ooze out, and become the subject of conversa tion in favoured circle,. Persons, who have friends in the Cabinet, spoke very plainly last night, in the West end, as to what they alleged to have taken place at the Cabinet Council yesterday. It is stated that a majority of the members of Lord Palmerston'e Administration were in favour of actually intimating to Resale that the Western Powers were ready to receive proposals for putting an end to the war, and at the same time letting her understand that they were disposed to accept of such proposals as she need have no hesitation in offering. It is added that Lnrd Palmerston decidedly refused to ac- cede to either of these propositions, and took care to leave no room for any one present to doubt that, rather than become a party to the suggested course of proce dure, be would prefer resigning at once, We are fur. ther assured—ant have no reason to doubt the accuracy of our jam-illation—that the noble lord is even prepared that England should proceed alone with the war, ea suming what is so generally stated to be true—that Louis Napoleon is prepared to accept itbecura and dishonour able proposals of peace From the resistance offered to hie lordship's intended procedure by a majority of his Cabinet, it is the opinion of his personal friends that he ought at once to resign. We hope he erill. In that case, before the Christmas holidays are over, he will be borne back to the premiership on the shlulders of the people, and become the must powerful and popular minister of modern times. —M orning Advertiser. STATUE TO JAMES WATT AT MANCHESTER. Yesterday morning a meeting was held at the Town. hall to originate a subscription to erect a publio 'Wu* to James Watt, the inventor of the steam-engine.

THE WANDERER IN ARABIA.—The numerous readers of "The Crescent and the Cross" and " Eotheu" have another treat of oriental adventure presented to them by the publication of Mr. Lowth's " Wanderer in Arabia's —a book which, for the liveliness of its descriptions, and the novelty of its incidents of travel, is likely to become as popular as its predecessors.
