'IIIIEATRE ROYAL, DRURY-LANE. Lessee, Hr. E. T. SMITH. —Acting Manager, Vr. Charles lel at hews,--Stage Manager, Mr. Robert Roxby.— flie public is re spectfully informed that this ESTABLISHMENT wi:l OPEN for the regular DRAMATIC SEASON, under the Management of Mr. E. T. Smith, on Monday, October 1, on which occasion Mr. Elliot Geier, Lucy Lscott, Miss Lanza, and the Company will sing the National Anthem, and when the grand original and historical Egyptian Drama, written by E. Fitzball, Esq., and which h es for up werds of le months engaged the attention of the scenic, mechani cal, and decorative departments of this theatre, will positively Le produced, with the utmost regard to splendour and accuracy of de tail. In accordance with this resolution to secure the services, when ever available, of the most talented artistes of the day, the Lessee has the greatest p:easure in announcing that he has engaged that inimitable comedian, Mr. Charles Mathews, who will appear in a series of new pieces, written expressly for him ; and to strengthen the cast of which an eneagement has also been made with the prin cipal members of the Lyceum Company. 'that distinguished tragic actress, Miss Glyn, and that popular tragedian, Mr. Barry Sullivan, will be likewise found Mended in the arrangements of the forth comieg season, while the scenic department will be under the immediate superintendence of Mr. William Beverley. The Lessee, in thus inviting attention to the long-promised Egyptian Drama, which will be produced on Monday, October 1, feels it necessary to state that, so connected as everything relative to Egypt I. with mystery am' ingenuity, he felt it incumbent upon him to spare neither tr üble hor expenditure in or 'er to present a strictly accu rate picture of the regal and domestic history, habits, manners, and customs of that extraordinary nation, at the Pharaonic period, and to reproduce, as far as pes - eb e in scenic accessories, those colossal masses of graeite and porphyry, and those gigantic statues, whose enormous dimensions, overwhelmed by the shocks of nature or the fu-y of the elements, have been scattered in ages past over regions at present inaccessible, or buried deep beneath those arid and turn. tag sands which haw been at once their tomb and their protection. That nothinc may be found wanting to give a completeness to its production, the piece will be sustair.ed by the htehest dramatic talent, an i ieustr ,ted by artistic and mechanical effects of entirely novel construction. Herodotus, Denon, Wilkinson, the libraries ot the Britsh and Imperial 11 ueeums at London and Paris, together with oth r authorities, have been carefully consulted to insure the most rigid correctness in .ell the details and appointments; and in thus reviving the associations of a people that existed upwards ot 4,000 years age the Lessee hopes to make the stage p resent a com bination of amusement and iestruction hitherto unknown. Rather, however, than speak himself of what has been done, h e l eaves the laurels to be distributed by the public to those artistes who will he found to have distinguished themselves,.udge of its merits an d and c on fid en tl y in vites the critic and the antiquary to J attest the fidelity of the most minute details.

The full particulars of the terrible conflict of the Bth inst., which terminated in the evacuation of the south side, and the virtual capture of the entire of Sebastopol, have at length been re ceived. It is not, however, from official sources that we are enablecl to communicate the graphic , and brilliant description of the striking events of that glorious day. It is to private enterprise and private genius that we are indebted for the admirable account which we have transferred into our columns from those of our great contemporary the Time. It would indeed be a matter of the greatest interest to the community in general if our Generals, who have quite enough to do in directing the operations of .the War, were allowed to have literary assistants, whose espe- . c i a l duty it should be to " chronicle" great event=, • and to forward early narratives thereof, worthy a place in the national archives. Mr. WILLIAM RUSSELL, the well known Times' Correspondent, would certainly make an excellent laureate, whose rapid delineations of these event fill transactions would require little, if any, re vi.3ion. Why there not a Military Secretary to describe great contests, and transmit the intel- 1 ligence without any unnecessary delay! The Commander-in-Chief is too busily engaged in planning the operations which the results of the 'lay render advisable to devote the necessary time and- attention' to the task. He has other and more important duties than those of the mere scribe to look to, and other qualifications than those of a talented author should be sought for in. the • selection of a General. But, under existirtgeircurnStances, we are compelled to put up w ith meagre accounts of matters, respecting which the public interest ia_greatly excited; because wf• require persons selected for arduous and impor tant (ratios to discharge so many varied functions —for some of which they may be perfectly in 'competent, although possessiug the highest quali fications for the others. "Brave men lived before Agamemnon, although 1 ` seems uncontrollable by the English people —are they had not poets to sing them." It is an in- determined that Austria shall substantially have vidious ta4 to impose on any General the nal. her way. The true policy which ought from THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 26 1855. rating of his own achievements. A becoming modesty may prevent him from taking due credit for his own triumphs or those of his brave fol lowers ; while, on the other hand, he would natu rally be disposed to slur :over any failures or de ficiencies. We should scarcely expect to see any British General giving mendacious accounts a /« ) , IF—NscinicorF, of matters which could easily and speedily be detected ; but certainly under the existing system there are are no means of insuring veracity or punishing false or exaggerated state- rnents. Were there a Secretary " at ?' or "for" War in attendance in the Crimea, we should have had a com plete account of the attack on the Redan and the causes of its failure—of the subsequent evacuation of the beleaguered city, and the nominal lists of killed and wounded transmitted per telegraph more than a fortnight since. The public anxiety, and more especially the apprehensions of those who had friends or relatives engaged in the terrible conflict, would long since have been alleviated. Many would have been enabled toparticipate fully in the national exultation without any reason to fear that the cup of joy would be rudely cast from their lips, while the less fortunate, whose fore bodings might be but too truly verified, would at least know the worst, and be saved from those heart-rending doubts, that are even less tolerable than the certainty of the greatest calamities. In the good old times, every Sovereign or Ge neral had his bard. It was a salutary rule, and we trust that the precedent will again be followed. The system now in operation is alike unfair to the General and to the community. The former can not sufficiently expatiate on his successes, or the skill by which they were produced, while his excuses for failure may, and probably will be, distrusted. The people, on the other hand, cannot place that implicit reliance on the account of any event, and of its probable or pos sible consequences, that would naturally follow the statement of an impartial and disinterested witness, who was narrating the doings of another for which he was nut himself re sponsible, and on which his repektation was not in any degree dependent. We trust that these observations may have some effect in producing the amelioration of a very decided, although a very easily remedied, evil. At present we have only to complain of the unnecessary delay, for Mr. WILLIAM RUSSELL and the limes have prevented any permanent mischief. We cannot be certain that we shall always be so fortunate, or that we shall invariaZbly obtain such admirable accounts of events--m.ot merely of national, but of European and undying interest— which will remain, throughout Lll ages, to pos terity as one of the proudest rewords of their fathers' prowess. The reports on the intended poilicy of the War are almost as contradictory as thc)se on the in tended ..., strategyof G enera l s S imPsoN an d PELISSIER. On Monday we were all down-h(xarted with the announcement that Sebastopol was to be razed and the basins filled up. The next day it was stated that the announcement was probably pre mature. At first ammunition, which was in course of shipment at Marseilles, was stopped, a day or two after, and we read " that shell and cartridges are being shipped." Of course nothing leaks out of the intentions of the Cabinets in any authentic form. Even the Mon.ilteur, generally our best informant during the r ecess, is silent. Somewhat unofficially, though a :Prime Minister must know that his positive assertions, anywhere, must pass for authority, Lord PALAERSTONE gives us his general view of the position.. On the boards of a railway platform he meets a large number of farmers, the Premier discourses wi th them, first, of course, on the price of wheat ;.; the conversa tion branched off, as a matter of course, to the War, when he assured them that the army was in a most efficient state, the hospitals, such as Lon don might envy, and Sebastopol so. far left entire as to furnish very comfortable wiater quarters for the Allied troops. He emphatically added, " thaL they might rest assured that the powei• and pre tensions of Russia would be effectually humbled be fire tie Allied. Powers would consent to a puce." If but one adverb in this sentence retain its place to the last, as an expression of the determi nation of the Allies, all England, &lad all Europe will be satisfied. Russia is now humbled ; that she should be effectually humbled is the all-im portant point. To "raze Sebastopol and to fill up the basins," which implies giving back the Crimea to Russia, would be the very opposite of effectual humbling. Houses cau be rebuilt, rub bish cau he cleared out of dockyard basins, and the provocation would be very effectual, we must think, to remove the humiliation when we left the enemy full opportunity to do it. Think of the Russians filling up any of our naval dockyards, and then abandoning them Why, every Englishman would pay any amount .of income tax till they were rendered ten times better and more formidable than before. Can the Allies be so •coolish as thus to provoke Russia to make Sebastopol second Gibraltar, or Valetta, till peace could only result, in a few 'years, in a hitherto unheard-of aggrandisement of Russian power in the East 9 As yet we refuse to believe it. Keep the Crimea, refrain from the barbarism of destroying noble docks and buildings, put Sebastopol into the hands of a commercial nation, open it as a free port to all nations, drive the Russians from all thee e ports onamerce with tine world, of the Sea of Azoff, and leave them to f ' and we believe a r c statethings Would soon arise in the East which would supersede and repel for ever the uncom o s f upersec c i v ilised Government of the CZARS. T m h e e c T ia a L rt hlf Tartar on the Kuban and north of the C r imea would soon ril -ed re-acquire the character. of which Russia dep them,and become flourish d vigorous. Our practical ing, independent, an and noble Allies, the Circas sians would develop the manly capacities o f their nature ; and the entire adjacent territories of Asia, indeed of the whole of the Black Sea, would fee l the im p ulse given to civilszation. Sebastopol is by far the noblest harbour in the Euxine, and, if diverted from its infernal and bloody destiny to the peace ful purposes of trade, it might become the .grand naval mart of the East. This alone would be an "effectual" humiliation to the power of Russia. It would be not only casting out the Legion of Devils, but putting the man clothed and in his right mind in their place. If we may pursue such an illustration, the opposite plan would bring back the seven devils worse than the former, and the last state of the city would be worse than the first. to us. We need not doubt the intentions of Lord PALMERSTON himself, but we must be permitted to more than doubt the evil genius which h a s influenced, and will yet influence the policy of the War. Austria and the Coburn will not allow Russia to be weakened if they can help it. And, ignoble and treacherous as the conduct of the Court of Vienna has been, and is, some in England —some whose influence London to give orders in the Euxine is so clear to every man of common sense that nothing but a wicked and infatuated subserviency to Aus tria and Germany can account for its not being put in force. The whole ' Euxine, and all its ports, with the embouchure of the Danube, might now be secured for ever to honest and commercial purposes ; and might be placed in hands which would have no temptation to abuse the possessor to purposes of conquest. The Principalities might long ere now—even the Times itself having re peatedly demanded it----been placed in the hands of a Government of their own, under the long tried and easy suzerainty of the Porte. But, we repeat, it is the hateful Austxianism of the main influence which actuates or fetters our Cabinet that is the real danger. We cannot too jealously watch the German influence on the supreme managers of the War in this country. We notice with pleasure that the Thanksgiving Day to be appointed this time is fixed for a Sun day, the 30th of Sep , ember. We have so fre quently urged the desirableness of choosing the day on which all Christians meet spontaneously for worship as the proper day for any special act of worship, that we can but feel gratified with this tardy homage to common—we might rather say Christian sense. The Christian assemblies who do not need the Archbishop of CANTERBURY'S aid to prepare a thanksgiving prayer for them, doubtless offered their thanks givings in common as soon as they heard the glad tidings. It were mere vanity to wish, and mere tyranny to compel, them to throw away a whole day, at the bidding of the QUEEN, for what they have already done from the natural and com bined impulse of joyful and devout feelings. No doubt many of them, however, will renew their thanksgivings with those of their brethren of the Established Church. Thankfulness, so that it be sincere, is no burden, and the whole sub ject furnishes a noble theme for the preacher. Indeed it is one of the recommendations of Sun day for these special services that it helps to vary the monotony of both the sermon and the prayers, especially if the latter be reasonably curtailed for the occasion. On a Sunday ser -vices which should keep us all awake would of itself be no small gain. We must not forget to notice the: blessing to the poor man of this Sunday Thanksgiving Day. He will not be compelled now to sacrifice a day's wages at the present price of bread. This is one of the most important considerations of all. To the rich the loss of a day is nothing. To the poor, in numberless instances, it is a com pulsory fast ; and this is a poor preparation for thanksgiving. We suppose it is too much to hope that the old form of commanding people to worship GOD will be given up. - We know the plea of etiquette. The reply is—Let her MA JESTY command any subject into her own pre sence ; but who has authorised her to command him into the presence of his GOD ? r t' a) 71 4-4 1; k ‘p '4lal k•C 0 It At•W•ti`,' - 4 SUN OFFICE, Six o'Clock. THE ASSAULT ON THE REDACT• An Extraordinary Gazette will be published late; tonight, containing the whole of the names of the English troops killed and wounded on the Bth of September at the attack on the Redan Battery.

MORNING GENERAL ORDER HEAD•QUARTERS, SEPT. 14, 1855. The Commander of the Forces has great pleasure in iblishing to the troops the following telegraphic mes sw.ge, received from the Minister of War : "LONDON, Wednesday. "The Queen has received with deep emotion the wel et )me intelligence of the fall of Sebastopol, penetrated ith profound gratitude to the Almighty, who has vouch e Jed this triumph to the Allied Army. " Her Majesty has commanded me to express to your s elf, and through you to the army, the pride with which K he regards this fresh instance of their heroism. " The Queen congratulates her troops on the trium ihant issue of their protracted siege, and thanks them -ft'or the cheerfulness and fortitude with which they have encountered its toils, and the valo'ir which has led to its termination. _ "The Queen deeply laments that this success is not •without its alloy in the heavy losses which have been :sustained. And while she rejoices in the victory, htr :Majesty deeply sympathises with the noble sufferers in their country's cause. " You will be pleased to congratulate General Pelis ; sier, in her Majesty's name, upon the brilliant success of • the assault on the Malakhoff, which proves the irresis tible force, as well as indomitable courage, of our brave allies.

The Liverpool cotton market yesterday closed tamely and steadily, without th 3 least change in prices. The sales were 5,000 bales-1,000 for ex port, and 1,000 on speculation, comprising 40 Pernam and Maranham, Qd. ; 50 Bahia, G d. ; 180 Eg3ptian, SZ-d. to 6d. ; and 500 Surat, 4d. to 4id. The Railway Share Market was without feature, at the currency of Monday. Describing the state of the markets for the prin cipal articles of consumption, Messrs. 11. W. Jewes bury and Co. observe that— " The markets for colonial produce during the past mouth have been very active, and the prices of some of the leading articles have advanced considerably. The rise in the bank rate of discount on the 6th inst. from 3 to 4 per cent , and subsequently on the 13th from 4 to 44 percent., with the general expectation that 5 percent, will shortly be made the minimum rate, has checked the advance in produce ; and tr,alsactions, except for sugar, have become more fimited during the last eight or ten days. The arrivals since our last have been modera'e, but the deliveries for export and home use continue large, and the stock of seseral of our chief articles show a further decrease. Dyes and dyeing materials have been in ?fair demand. Indigo is firm. Cochineal and safflower are both dearer. hi other articles there is no alteration to notice. The late advices from the Conti nental produce markets report large transactions at ad vanced rates. From the woollen districts the reports notice a somewhat languid market, but about an aver age amount of business has been d.,ne. From the cotton districts transactions are again reported as limited, and the tendency of prices is against spinners and manufac turers. The demand for looney, since out last, has in creased, and during the month the Bank has raised the rate for discount from 3 to 44 per cent. 'We now quote first class paper of short date at 4} per cent., other bills 4i to 51, and money on cal 3 to 4 per cent." It will be a positive relief to every man of busi ness if the Bank of England to-morrow puts up the rate of discount to 5 per cent., the prevalent uncertainty being far worse than the measure it self. We feel persuaded, indeed, that there will be greater confidence when the interest rules at 5 per cent. than there is now, because the Bank of Prance i s stated to be using every exertion to replenish its cof fers, and, if it bids more for gold than ourselves, may succeed in so doing, by means of its credit and by working on the exchanges, although ultimately there will be an account of loss to settle, and to meet the engagements entered into, the precious metal may have to be returned. In the interim, however, as was the case some years ago when the Bank of France assisted the Bank of England, the money market may have resumed a more even tone, and the re-adjustment be proportionally less diffi cult. At Paris already the fall in securities has been more than equal to the whole cost of the foreign grain required between this time and September next ; but no one can question that certain secu rities have ruled a great deal too high there, and that the check will prove wholesome. Yesterday is described as having been at Paris the dullest day yet experienced. The whole subject of our mone tary position and policy is of such absorbing inte rest that we append some remarks in the last num ber of the Bankers' Circular : " The amount of wealth which is now represented in this country by securities alone almost surpasses the powers of belief. First of all there is nearly 800,000,000/. of public debt, under different forms. To this we may add about 300,000,000/. iu the shape of railway secu rities. The Joint-Stock Banking capitals of the metro polis amount to several millions. Then there are the Insurance, :Cocks, Canals, Water, and Gas Companies, which may be reckoned in millions sterling. History affords no such an amount of wealth represented in floating securities, and saleable in the public markets, as this country exhibits ; yet it is over this vast expanse of wealth and industry that the judgment of the cabinet of the Barge of England extends its power and in fluence. Where, then, can, the individual be found who could overrate the importance of such a question ? The difference between the course adopted by the Bank of Franne and the Bank of England, consequent upon a drain of the precious metals, is singularly striking. Whilst the Bank of France seeks to supply a sufficient note circulation on the withdrawal of specie, it is no less careful in its rates of dieceunt ; the Bank of England is continually changing both these items, in order to conform to the principles of an absurd law. We have only to look back a few months to see • bow these separate plans have operated upon the money markets of the two countries. In January, 1854, the position of the money market consequent upon the state of the corn market rendered it necessary t- raise the rates of interest in several of the Continental cites, and on the 19th of that month the Bank of France raised its rate of discount from 4 to 5 per cent., but it was re duced again to the previous rate on the 11th May following, at which it has remained until the present time. But, singularly enough, on the same date that the Bank of France reduced its rate of discount to 4 per cent., the Bank of England raised it to 51, and main tained it at that rate until the following August, when it was reduced to 5 per cent., at which rate it stood for 35 weeks ; so that, if we go back to January, 1654, we I find that the Bank of France has had only tWo rates of interest during a year and three-quarters ' while there have been eight changes made by the Bank of England. No arguments, however ingenious, can set aside the deductions that may be drawn from this com parison ; and it forms one of the strongest motives for a strict enquiry as to which of the two systems is ruo,t deserving of public support. We think it can scarcely be doubted that such rapid changes made in the rates of discount and interest on loans, constituted a very formid able evilin our system. But we think it is equally true to attribute these changesalmost entirely to an artificial scar city of legal tender or bank-note circulation, than to any natural causes in the variations on money capital. It is a law well understood by political economists that when ever a scarcity of capital is found in those establishments where it generally • accumulates, that an expansion of credit becomes indispeusible ; but the practice of theßank ofEngland at such periods is totally opposed to this prinn ple, which arises from the fact that there are circumstances under which it has not the power to do justice to the public, and at the same time secure the interests of its own proprietors. These circumstances have occurred many times in the history of the Bank, and a repetition of them has once more become apparent. Some of our contemporaries who have been anxious to show that it was the paramount duty of the Bank to raise the rate of discount to 5 per cent. on Thursday, do not appear to have looked beyond the ordinary character of the money market, and yet they have not been insensible to the in jury that such a step would inflict upon the general interesti; of trade and commerce, But it remains to be shown whether, to support the particular interests of one establishment, it is absolutely necessary to sacrifice th ose o f all other classes of the community." The Cinaries Lead Mining Company this day declared a dividend of 10s. per share for the half year. The returns of lead for the six mouths was 32,797/. 6s. 3d., which after the expenditure left a profit of 6,555/. 3s. 10d. The Stock Market has been very depressed again this morning, money being in request, and seereer among the dealers than in Lombard-street. Whe ther this will last is more than we can determine, but the pressure is aggravated apparently by the speculation of weak parties now obliged to close accounts. Consols have been per cent. lower, viz., 89 to 89,1, for Transfer, and 891 to 89-A for October. Exchequer Bills are par to 4s. discount. A further material drop has occurred in Turkish Bonds, which have been so low as 851 and 86, though they are now 86. The Scrip is 1 I dis count.

ERzlmouar, Aug. 18.—On the 18th inst. a de tachment of Turkish cavalry left the city in quest of forage. The Russians placed in the advanced posts fell on them in the rear, and, after a few vol leys of musketry, the Turks retreated without ac complishing their intention. General touravieff maintains his position in Co mozow, and has divided his army into four corps, occupying the four points opposite to the four aalieuts of Kars. Four battery cannons which were directed from Alexandropol to Kars, and abandoned on the road on account of the mud, have been recovered and taken to the Russian camp. The present disposition of the forces of General Mouravieff loads us to suppose that he intends to attack Kars in such a manner as to draw off the at tention of the garrison from the point in dispute, and make a grand attack on it afterwards. In Kars, although some anxiety is manifested, yet a disposition is tolerably prevalent to meet the enemy boldly. The evacu a ti on an d surren d er o f K ars wou ld b e, perhap s , no t o f much consequence, b ut the loss of the artill ery , consisting of 200 pieces of all calibres, and that of the ammunition, would be a great fatality. succeeded-- coasterst E v E T i : TianE ROADS,D burning einp L t .

Great indignation is felt in the fleet by all classes at the slight Govern men t' ev i nced towards the officers and men engaged i n th e l ate b ombardment of Sweaborg, and that not one single promotion or acknowledgment has been made, though a severe and heavy Wow was inflicted on the enemy, and property valued at 2,000,0001. destroyed ; whilst in the Black Sea a dozen officers are advanced for the destruction of a few fishing-nets and haystacks. The French squadron is gradually decreasing. We have only the Tourville few gun-boats left of Admiral' the d'Assas, and a Penaud's squadron. The Cornwallis left last night, taking home all the hospital dressers whose engagement with the Government expires at the end of this month. The Russell, Hastings, Hawke, and Pembroke follow immediately, and it is supposed that they are to proceed to Naples. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. The enterprising lessee of this national establishment• commences his regular dramatic season on Monday even— , ing next, with one of the most extraordinary novelties. ever produced. It is an Egyptian drama, entitled Nitocris, from the pen of Fi , ,zball, and which has been , upwards of eighteen mouths in preparation. Among the" names of the ladies and gentlemen engaged for the sea— son we observe those of Miss Glyn, Miss Anderton, Mr. C. Mathews, Mr. Barry Sullivan, Mr. R. Roxby, Mr. Stuart, and a whole host of London favourites. The' scenic department has been placed under the direction. of Mr. W. Beverley, which is a sufficient guarantee for its splendour. We trust that the exertions of 1 11r_ 1 Smith will be amply rewarded. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—The marriage of Miss Peel, youngest daughter of the late Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel, with the Hon. Francis Stoner, second sort of Lord Camoys, took place yesterday, in presence of a. - select family circle. Lord Castlemaine, Mr. Bateson and Hon. Mrs. Date- son, and Hon. R. Handcock, have left Cambusmore Cottage on a short visit to the Duke and Duchess of Cutherland, at Dunrobin Castle. THE BRAINTREE CHURCH-RATE CONTEST.—The testi monial to Mr. Samuel Courtauld, iu recognition of his services in the memorable Braintree Church•rate con test, was presented yesterday at that town. The cere mony was a most attractive one. The Marco Polo, which gained well-deserved celebrity for her quick passage to Australia, seems to have lost much of it by her late voyage to Melbourne, having taken 83 days in her passage out. Calms and contrary winds will no doubt a:count for it. THE ARMY AND NAVY PENSIONERS' EMPLOYMENT SOCIETY.—A society, having for its object the employ ment of wounded soldiers and sailors in some domestic service, has been recently e , tablislied, under the patron age of Prince Albert and many noblamen and gentlemen- QUARANTINE AT MALTA.—The Board of Health of this island, to tranquillise the fear of the inhabitants, has, in consequence of cholera having manifested itself at Marseilles, subjected ail arrivais thence to a quaraa tine of observation of five days from the date of Vas last attack. If the Wye, steamer, when she was last in the Me Si • can Gulf, had remained to coal at Vera Cruz, t e would have brought away from the first-mentio ped port 2,000,000 dollar, in specie. CARDINAL WISEMA.N AT WELLS.—Considerable rest was manifested in this city on Tuesday, in co quence of the visit of Cardinal Wiseman. WAR REJOICINGS AT HALIFAX.—In the north of this borough a huge beast was slaughtered on Th day, cut up and distributed on Friday and Sathrda: No fewer than six servants of the North-Eastern pany were, a day or two ago. before the Darlin magistrates, charged with different offences, by Roe: the company's superintendent of police. THE SMOKE NUISANCE AT LEICDS.—At a large an fluential meeting, on Saturday, the following resol• was agreed to •—" That a subscription of 1201. annum be raised for three yearn, for the purpo abating the nuisance arising from smoke."
