Wo have repeatedly heard men of all parties attributing the utmost importance to their possession, desig nating them as " the brightest jewels in the British diadem." If, however, they •are worth having, they must be worth attending to ; and it certainly is by no means judicious or fair to treat with contemptuous indifference affairs in which so many millions of British subjects are deeply in terested, to excite the discontent of those mho, under the most favourable circumstances, arc ready enough to put forward urgent complaints, and to exhibit marks of lively dissatisfaction at any differences that may arise between themselves and the parent State. Any degree of opposition to their wishes would, however, be far more tolerable than the neglect and apathy so un wisely displayed. What has been the state of the case ? Within a brief period there have been no less than three Colonial Secretaries, besides the present nominal holder of the office. First, was the Duke of NEW CASTLE, to whom it is but a matter of justice to say that ho made a painstaking and efficient Colonial Minister, displaying a desire to act fairly, that would in itself go far to redeem any blunder. Unfortunately, however, on the separation of the War and Colonial Departments, he abandoned the situation for which he was well qualified, to grasp, with " commendable ambition" (as it was de clared by Lord JOHN RUSSELL), at one for which he was by no meals so well suited. The course adopted by the Noble Duke, and the terms above allud e d to, however, proved the comparatively low estimation of duties involving the adminis tration of no less than fifty colonies dispersed through all parts of the world, on some of whick " the sun never sets." On the surrender of the office by the Duke of NEWCASTLE, Sir GEORGE GREY was appointed in his place. The Right Hon. Baronet, although unquestion a bl y a person of considerable ability, was . yet totally inex perienced in colonial matters. lie was therouehly acquainted with the duties of the Borne Depart ment, but as profoundly ignorant of the depart ment into which, with the singular inaptitude displayed by the ABERDEEN Government of " find ing the right man for the right place," he was pitchforked. Here lie remained for some six or seven months, assisted by a very young gentle man as Under-Secretary, who, however, had some eighteen months previous experience in the office, and might therefore be expected to have mastered some of the rudiments of the science •of Colonial " management." (Query—Should not "nvis " be prefixed ?) A new change arose. The Home Secretary became Prime Minister, and Sir GEORGE GREY eagerly sought after the office for which he was best qualified, and which he manifestly deemed of fttr greater importance. He changed his de partment, and the new Secretary of State, whose prestige had not been greatly increased by the THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 10, 1855. THE ANTICIPATED ATTACK ON BArAKEAVA. A letter from before Sebastopol, of the 24,1 i, in the Constitutionnel, gives some details of the pre parations which had been made to repulse the an ticipated attack on Balaklava. It says " For several days before the 20th a considerable carps of Russians had again shown themselves on the heights of Balaklava, which had been for the second time aban doned a short time before by the division of General Liprandi. The English ordered all the transports to leave the harbour and anchor in the offing, and having embarked all their sick prepared for a vigorous defence. They besides sent a despatch to General Canrobert, to inform him of the movement and demanded reinforcements, which were immediately sent. General Bosquet, who had gone to make a strong reconnaissance in the direc tion of the Tchernaya, received orders to return in haste to Balaklava to command the French troops destined to tile° part in that action. The Orenoque frigate was sent away to Constantinople with 453 sick. The Rus sians afterwards appear to have given up all idea of the attack, on finding that the Allies were prepared to give them a warm reception. The weather is still un settled, with alternate bad and fine days. The nights continue wet and cold. A slight increase :of dysentery has lately made its appearance. Tke sick and wounded continue to be sent to Constantinople- The Imperial Guard encamped on the 21st at head-quarters. The General-in-Chief has during the last few days frequently held conferences with General Bosquet, and whenever that takes place we always expect to have something new. God grant it ! for really the weather is not too bad, and the troops are animated with the very best spirit. Menschikoff, the Grand Dukes, and all their suites are still on the north side of the port. The Princes frequently visit their troops on the other side, the battaries of Inkermann, and sometimes even the faubourg on the side of the English, but it is said that they pru dently keep away from the town. We still receive many deserters, particularly Poles, and they relate things to us not much in favour of the Russians having received large reinforcements. In fact, the roads from Perekop to Sebastopol are covered with the dead bodies of horses and oxen. The Russians are in the greatest distress fur want of provisions, and under such circumstances they cannot increase their effective strength. EXPECTED VISIT OF HER MAJESTY TO PORTSaIOUTH—THE ROYAL YACHT. Her Majesty is expected at Portsmouth en route to Osborne on the 15th inst., and it is supposed will inspect the Baltic fleet prior to its sailing from Spitheacl. An advanced squadron of steam-frigates, denominated the " flying squadron," was ordered to proceed to Biel, but whether this intention of the late First Lord of the Ad miralty will be carried out by Sir C. Wood is not known. Captain Rundle Watson, C. 8., of the Imperieuse, was intended to be the senior officer in command of this ad vanced flying division of the Baltic fleet. Orders have been received at Portsmouth dockyard to remove all tanks, ballast, &c., from the Queen's steam yacht Osborne, Captain Crispin, which were to be, to gether with her state furniture, &c., returned into store for the purpose •f converting so much as could be found fit for the new yacht Victoria and Albert. This removal was to be done by lighters, so as not to have the vessel removed from her moorings, as much would have been destroyed by this process. The new yacht not being ready for such fitment, the order was countermanded, and the tables, &c., which had been taken out, aro now being replaced, as it is said to be probable that the Osborne may be required to attend on the Court on their approaching visit to the Isle of Wight (about the 15th inst.), i❑ anticipation of which the Fairy, Master-Com wander Welch, and the Elfin, Master-Commander Bal liston, are also being prepared for service. _---_-__ ----- VISIT OF THE QUEEN TO WOOLWICH The Queen and Prince Albert went to Woolwich yes terday morning, to inspect the troops quartered there, and also the artillerymen wounded and disabled in the Crimea. Ili-r Majesty and his Royal Highness left Bucking. ham Palace at half-past nine o'clock, accompanied by the Princess Royal and the Princess Alice, and attended by the Viscountess SCanning, the Hon. Mary Bulteel, Major-General Bouverie, olonel the Hon. C. B. Phipps, and Captain Du Piat. The royal party occupied three carriages, and was es corted by Carbineers. A guard of honour was on duty at Woolwich, and received her Majesty with the usual honour. Sir Hew Ross, Lieutenant-General of the Ordnance, and Major-General Whinyates, commanding the garri son, received the Queen and the Prince, and attended them to the Common, where a troop of lorse Artillery and a battery of Foot Artillery marched past, and were inspected by her Majesty. The Queen and Prince visited the hospital, and in spected the wounded men and invalids from the Crimea quartered there, and received a report from the medical officers in charge, which was presented to her Majesty. The Queen and Prince Albert on leaving the Ordnance Hospital proceeded to the Royal Arsenal, and alighted at the Dial-square , in front of which one of Lancaster's 63-pounder guns f 65 cwt. was stationed, mounted on a oiogo sou ourrin and rmacinn ;n g in nll roc / teas t h e appearance of a most powerful engine of destruction. In the Dial-square boring department her Majesty had an opportunity of inspecting the beautiful machinery, much of it self-acting, and invented by Mr. John Ander son, chief engineer, who was present to explain its vari ous movements, and the result attained by its operation. The Queen, passing through the boring department, entered the place where the self-acting machine was al work in making Minh balls, and watched the whole of the process very minutely. The Queen then went across the avenue to the labora tory department, and witnessed the whole of the process of making percussion caps, from the rolling out of the metal until charged with the percussion powderandbeing ready for service. The beautiful machinery for these operations appeared to be highly approved, and all that was brought under her Majesty's notice in the depart ment. From the laboratory the Queen proceeded to the carriage department, and there witnessed the re markable quantity of work performed with the greatest precision in the working of timber into the various arti cles required in the service. Her Majesty and Prince Albert left the Royal Arsenal at half-past one under a royal salute, and proceeded by the Greenwich-road en route to Buckingham Palace. A rillir_7 4 c 7 4. r tn ItTl . ‘KX.KT tc! BERLIN, FRIDAY EVENING. General von Wedell left here for Paris on Wednesday evening. The King wishes the ne gotiations to be suspended for a while, but con sents unreservedly to sign the Vienna Protocol of December 28. BERLIN, SATURDAY, MAROH 10. Advices from St. Petersburg, dated yesterday, state that the following despatch had been re ceived at that capital from Sebastopol : " During the night between the 28th February and Ist March we erected a second redoubt in front of the former one, and the enemy (the Allies) could not prevent us completing the work." There is nothing important from Eupatoria. Accounts from St. Petersburg state that the taking of the oath of fidelity to the new Empe ror, and in general all acts of homage to him, have been marked by a total absence of enthu the use," they say, " of all the expenses made by each Rfate to place the half of its conthrent on a. anne.J a:::cerditig to the recieeai act ? It would have been better, in such a case, to have left the military forces of the Germanic Confedera tion in the state in which they were placed before the resolution of the Federal Assembly." situation to had held with respect to the mis- I i - n n aj; --=”4 , r f l _,- "Y-_,-, --- --_ 1 ,4-,, t'` 4 1 , , , ' her .0 n' ' i the Colonial Department, and the deatiutes of tne I inhabitants of our fifty colonies confided to his charge ! This was certainly by no means complimentary to our fellow-subjects in other countries. But it was by no means the worst part of the transac tion. Mr. HERBERT resigned, after holding office some ten days or a fortnight, and then a noble lord was appointed, to whom, if ready to assume the duties, no possible objection could be made. But Lord Jourt RUSSELL had just started on a mission of vast importance, from which it was considered by the Government that it would be most injurious to the public service to recall him before the completion of his arduous and delicate duties. Nor was this all. Mr. FREDERICK PEEL, actuated by what we suppose will likewise be termed " conmendable ambition," demanded to be transferred to the Under Secretaryship of the War Department. The request was conceded, although the Colonies were practically left without any Minister, and the War Depart ment had actually been previously tendered to, and accepted by, one generally supposed to be far more competent to its duties than the highly favoured Mr. PEEL. The Chief Secretary was negotiating at Vienna ; the Under-Secretaryship was vacant, nor has a suitable candidate been yet discovered for the office. It is true that the Home Secretary has promised to attend to the impera tive duties of the office, but it is utterly impossi ble that he can spare time from his own depart ment, which will, of course, demand his earliest attention, to do mere than the merely formal business. He cannot receive the numerous de putations, or, at all events, afford the prolonged audiences which, after tedious, expensive journeys they have a right to expect. It is notorious, too, that the health of the Right Hon. Baronet is not so strong as his friends could desire, and that he had on that account hesitated as to the acceptance of office. It is therefore not fair, either to him or to our colonists, to impose additional labours on one having already much to do. If they are so light that they can easily be disposed of, then there could be no necessity for the appointment of a fourth Secretary of State and the expenses of the new department. Minis sters aro thus involved in a very unpleasant di lemma, on either horn whereof they must be im paled. Lord DERBY is entitled to much credit for the temperate manner in which he urged the pre sent untoward state of affairs, and pressed for a speedy remedy. Ho was manifestly not influ enced by any factious or party motives, or by any desire to acquire political capital at the expense cf the present Cabinet. He placed the matter simply before the public, but in such a manner that it was impossible to resist the conclusions at which Le arrived. We cannot say that we were satisfied with the answer of Lord GRANVILLE, or that matters can rest for an indefinite period in their present position. We do not wonder that Lord PALMERSTON should, on the secession of the Peelites, have been very desirous of ob taining the co-operation of Lord Join' Rus- SELL. Even his name might be important. But surely it would have been quite sufficient if ho accepted a seat in the Cabinet without office, or if he returned to his former office as President of the Council, while Lord GRANVILLE assumed the charge of the colonies. The object might have been attained by many ways without giving offence to the colonists, or enabling them to put forward a complaint so well founded respecting the ill-treatment of the authorities at home. Every successive revelation respecting the mis management of the War by the late Ministry in creases our surprise, and must deepen the public disgust. Had it been the set purpose of these men to level the aristocracy in popular estima tion, and drag it through the mire, they could not have taken more effectual measures than they ap pear to have done to accomplish it. With ready access to the best business talent in the world—knowing that no merchant of repute in the three kingdoms but would be happy to afford them every information in his power to enable them to provide in a suitable manner for the requirements of the public service—the his tory of their Administration in connection with the War is an unparalleled series of blunders, many of them such as an ignorant shopman would be ashamed of. Perhaps in nothing is their wretched imbecility more apparent than where a good intention, in the first instance, may with least audacity be attributed to them. Take the ease of the tools employed in the siege of Sebastopol. That in an operation of such moment tools of the best de scription should ba supplied was alike due to the recognised superiority of Great Britain in the man ufacture of those instruments, and to the brave men who were to use them. The worse the quality of the tools, and the greater must be the labour of the men, and their exposure to the in clemency of the weather and the varied assaults of the enemy. The meanest understanding must at once perceive this. Turn to the Crimea, and what do we behold ? Scenes that would move us to laughter, were it not for indignation. Com panies disabled, a couple or so only, we have heard, of men in them, with good tools to flout their comrades with bad ones, and this the re sult, in the first instance, of good intentions. No wonder if a place " unmentionable to ears polite" is paved with them. Red-tapisra wished to be economical ; so it bought a bad article - at a high price, believing it bought a good article at a low one. That is the history of the affair, but not all. Government was warned that a good article could not be had at the price—knew that the article was not good before it was shipped for the Crimea. Can the reader learn without emotion that the tools which failed before Sebastopol belonged to the same batch which were tried and found wanting at Chobliarn.? These is something revolting in the fact. In a like spirit rotten tents, first used in the Peninsular War, were sent out instead of new ones, and with even a worse result. On the other hand, there has been the most reckless expenditure. Which of the two is worst —the economy or the profligate expenditure— may, with some, be a matter of doubt. For our part we prefer the latter. That costs no lives. But our preference is only a choice of evils. The expenditure is very bad—bad enough to merit serious reprehension. When we learn that, according to the computation of Mr. LINDSAY, the naval operations, for which the nation has had to pay seven millions of money, ought have been more efficiently performed for two ! why, we hold our breath, and hope for better things—for the speedy advent of the period when common sense will find its way into all the offices in Downing ejected. streot—Red - tapism having first bee n summarily Letters have been received from Messina, stating that Sir John M'Neill, G.C.8., and Colonel Tulloch bad arrived at that Waco on the Ist instant, by the Thames steamer, on their mission to the Crimea. It was ex pected that they would reach Constantinople by the sth inst. COURT CIRCULAR. Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert honoured the Lyceum Theatre with their presence last evening-. The Royal suite consisted of the Vis countess Canning, the Hon. Lucy Kerr, Earl Somers, Major-General Bouverie, and Captain Du Platt.

Sir Robert Peel has accepted the office of a Lord of the Admiralty, vacant by the appointment of the Hon. W. Cowper to the Under Secretaryship for the Home Department. _ The Right Hon.

PRESENT TO THE LORD MAYOR. —Considerable curio sity was excited yesterday in Farringdon-market, and along the principal thoroughfares leading to the Man sion-house, in consequence of the following somewhat novel scene :—About twelve o'clock the beadle of the Fruiterers' Company entered the market in his robes of office, bearing a silvermounted staff, when 12 of the market men, dressed out in black, came forward, each shouldering a bushel basket filled with apples and bound over with a white cloth. They then formed themselves into procession, headed by the beadle, and walked to the Mansion-house, where the 12 bushels of apples were pre sented ietig to the Lord Mayor, as the annual present to his lordship.

HAMBURG, MARCH 9, The Second Chamber of Denmark accepts the mobilisation of the German contingents, subject to a future decision, as to whether the expenses shall be borne by the Duchies or by the Danish Government. THE HAGUE, MARCh 8. General Nepvew is about to proceed to St. Petersburg to convey to the new Czar the com pliments of condolence to the Court of the flague. Melancholy accounts have been received of the damages caused by the rivers overflowing their banks, in various parts of Holland. Numerous houses and a quantity of cattle have been carried away by the floods, and several lives have been lost. Thousands of persons have lost all they possessed. MADRID, MARCH 9. In the sitting of the Cortes, yesterday, M. Lu zuriaga, Minister of Foreign Affairs, gave some explanations on the subject of the conspiracy which had been concocted at Cuba, and which had been defeated by the energy of General Concha. His Excellency afterwards explained the conduct that the Government intended to pursue with re gard to treaties for the prohibition of the slave trade, which, according to the minister, were pre judicial to the interests of the landed proprietors in Cuba. On the proposition of M. Olozaga, the Cortes declared unanimously that the explanations given by the minister were perfectly satisfactory. A proposition of MM. Lasala and Valero, to the effect that the new Constitution should establish one sole Chamber, was rejected. by 115 votes to 101. FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY. The great Citmetiwt 'if the moment is still the Emperor's departure for the Crimea. In tug ii; is h.Qt official quarters it is considered certain, not merely from the persistence which characterises him when once an idea enters hishead, but also from the great necessity which he considers now more than ever exists for his taking that step. The expedition to the Crimea is, rightly or wrongly, regarded in public as the work of the Emperor hiss elf, more or less in opposition with most of his advisers, military and civil, and that he is naturally anxious, even at the risk of personal ease an& comfort, to bring it to a successful termination if possible. The public is now so familiar with the idea of his journey that it has *eased to surprise, and one effect that has certaialy been produced by that familiarity is, that several who condemned it in the beginning seem to have modified their opinion, and now rather approve than otherwise. My own views of the matter, so far as they have any title to consideration, remain the same. Ido not think that any serious advantage can, under any circum stances, follow from his appearance in the camp. It is true that the presence of the first. Napoleon on the field of battle imparted to each of his soldiers the strength and daring of twenty men, but then the youthful conqueror of Italy possessed a prestige which kis nephew has Rot yet acquired. If a failure should occur the consequences would be beyond calculation. The date of the departure is not yet certain ; and it is said to-day that it is adjourned, though not abandoned. _ _ The Moniteter contains a long report from M. Fould, Minister of tha State, to the Emperor on the works of the Louvre : "These works (it says) have been carried on with such activity that the whole of the projected buildings are now raised to the height of the roofs, and several parts of them are even covered in. That part of the new buildings which is ccmprised between the Rue de Rivoli and the. Place Napoleon is to be occupied by the Ministries of State and of the Interior, the Direction of Telegraphs, the Imperial Library of the Louvre, and the permanent exhibition of tie productions of objects con nected with the Vine Arts. It is hoped that the library can be installed by the ead of the present year, but the other portions ;of the wing cannot be got ready until next year. The barracks established in the Pavillon de Rohan are terminated, aid can be had for the sum of 1,100,000 piastres (200,0)0f.), a large sum for this city." The Senate met yesterday, M. Troplong in the chair. Twelve bills, adopted by the Legislative Corps, were brought up. Count de Casabianca presented a report on the Mortgage Registration Bill, which was ordered to be discussed at the next sitting. The Senate decided that there was no im pediment in the promulgation of five local bills authorising loans, and of the bill to modify article 253 of Criminal Instraction. General de Bar read two reports on petitions from the clergy of various cantons of the Dordogne, praying for the suppres sion of the markets at present held on the Sunday. After some discussion the petitions were referred to the Ministers of Agriculture, of the Interior, and of Public Worship. The proceedings then ter minated. _ _ The Emperor has received the Bishop of Tri poli to administer tc him the oath required by the senatus consullum of the 23d December, 1852, on his appointmcat as coadjutor of the Arch. bishop of Paris. The prelate, who was accom panied by the Archbislop, was introduced into his Majesty's cabinet by tle Duke de Bassano, grand chamberlain the Minister of State, and the Minister of Public Inst=tion and Worship were present on the cc:a ; and the latter having pronounced the form o' the oath—" I swear obe dience to the Constitution, and fidelity to the Em peror !"

Letters from Vienna state that Austria has charged Count.de Reichlu-g, her new Plenipoten tiary at the Diet of Franfort, to warmly insist on the immediate mobilisatin of the federal contin gents. Austria, these 'Eters state, seems deter mined not to give way orthis point, notwithstand ing the opposition of Prtoia, " What would be RUSSIA. We have received the St. Petersburg journals, of the Ist and 2(1 inst. The first mention of the illness of the late Em peror is made in the Journal de St. Petersbourg of the 2d, the day he died. The same journal of the 2d publishes the following bulletin : "His Majesty the Emperor is unwell. His illness was at first only the 'grippe,' but since the 10th (22d) February fever manifested itself, with slight attacks of gout. "Yesterday his Majesty felt pain in his right lung, and the fever was much greater. During the night the augmt invalid did not sleep. "To-day the fever has somewhat diminished, and ex pectoration takes place without difficulty. "M. MANDT. " ENOCIIIN. "Dr. KARELL. "Feb. 17 (March 1), 1855." An extraordinary Supplement contains another bulletin : "FEB. 17 (MABca 1), 11 P.M. " The following change has taken place in the state of his Majesty :—Towards evening fever increased, and the expectoration from the affected part of the lower right lung has become more difficult. " Dr. MANDT. " ENo caw. " Dr. KARELL." The .Nord Deutsche Zeitung publishes the fol lowing details of the event of the 2d March, which it says it has from an authentic source : " When the Emperor Nicholas was taken ill, the Grand Duke Alexander was alone at St. Petersburg, but the Grand Duke Constantine was summoned by telegraph, and still found his father alive. In presence of his brother, the dying Czar placed the reins of Go vernment in the bands of the Czarewitch, and the Grand Duke Constantine promised to obey him as a faithful subject. " A few moments afterwards the Emperor expired, and the high dignitaries of the Empire hastened to the Palace in a oomplete state of stupefaction. The Grand Duke Czarewitch declared his intention of assuming the Government of the Empire under the name of Alex azder 11., and he was immediately proclaimed Emperor. On the 2d of March the Emperor Alexander received the homage of the high functionaries of the empire and of the troops of the garrison; and at a council of Ministers held by the young sovereign, it was decided that the course of hostilities should not be interrupted in ally manner whatsoever." A letter from Hamburg, dated the 2d instant, gives the following details respecting the move ments of Russian troops in Poland : " Letters dated Warsaw, tho 28th of February, which reached Hamburg this evening, state that, independently , of the great number of the civil governors of the pro vinces sent for by Marshal Paskiewitch on his return from St. Petersburg, many generals commanding Rus sian corps in Poland had proceeded to the capital of that kingdom. The commander of the second infantry corps armee, General Paniutin, had a conference with the Marshal on the 20th ; that general had transferred his head-quarters to Lublin, whence the four divisions which form his cops cl . armee extend to the towns nearest the provinces of Volhynia and Podolia. " It was said in military circles at Warsaw that the number of Greeks who came to offer to take service in the Russian army had increased daily. They arrived in bodies of a hundred at a time. On being formed into battalions'they are immediately marched to the Crimea, where, it . 1 s said, they alrrady muster 4,000 strong. " Amorag the generals sent for by Marshal Paskie witch, and arrived at Warsaw, is General Essen, who c‘raimands the Grenadiers h Cheval of the Imperial Guard quartered at Siedlec and Miendzorzec. This general has received orders to take up new positions. A. detachment of Cossacks, it is said 4,000 strong, had left Siberia for Poland." _ --- --- Writing on the 3d, the same correspondent says " Not withstnuding the sad event which has plunged Russia int o mourning, I continue to chronicle the posi tions of Co different bodies of troops which occupy Poland and: the provinces of the Baltic coast. _ _ "During the last days of February there were five regiments of cavalry in Courland and Esthonia destined to be incorporated in the active army of the Baltic under General of Clavalry Siewere. " A reernent of Hussars, 1,200 strong, in eight squadrons, ommanded by Col. Gottschalk, bad arrived at Mittan, amd extended its pickets as far as Tauroggen. " Another regiment of Hussars, also 1,200 strong, in eight squaArons, belonging to the brigade of General Paleolog, I , its•s quartered partly at Telschen, partly at Korcian. " Two regiments of I.7hlane, at full war complement, each of 1,200 men, in eight squadrons, occupy their winter quarters at Rossienen and Taureggen. " Between this latter place and Libau there is a regi ment of regular Cossacks, 900 strong, or six squadrons of the brigade , of General Grikoff. who, with hi stsff, is at Libau ; this cavalry regiment is ech,elonne along the frontier from Libau to Tauroggen, and, like the first Ana, forms part of the array of General Siewers. " Five regiments of infantry and a brigade of artillery, under General Schwebs, had arrived to garrison Narva, Riga, and Revel ; and two regiments of infantry and of reserve entored Mittau in the last week of February." A letter from Helsingfors says that the new Go vernor-General, General von Berg, was on a tour of inspection along the coast of the Gulf of Bothnia. It aids that 11 large mortars had recently arrived at Helsingfors, and were the object of the greatest curiosity. It took 13 artillery horses to move each of them. Their bore is from 10 to 12 inches in diameter; and they throl shells of 120 pounds weight. TURKEY. CONSTANTYNOPLE, FEB. 26.—The Amsterdam, French steitirer, with the Crimean mail, arrived at ten a.m. this morning. Eupatorian intelligence is of the 23d instant. Up to that date no fresh attack had , been ventured on by the Russians, who are biasy intrenching themselves beyond the hills outsid.e the town. The French have just com pleted a battery a little beyond the Henri IV., and whex the guns are mounted the wreck of that mau of war will • be destroyed and used as firewood, of which mat!rial there is a great want in the town. Omer Pacha was very active in giving strength to the redoubts of Eupatoria. Several British trans ports with cavalry had arrived there from Bourgas and Baltel Pik. Sir Stephen Lakeman (Mazhar Paella) was hourly expected. Ahmed Pacha, the Turkish a( imiral, with his flotilla of war steamers, was there ready to give any assistance required. The Russi in forces outside the town are com manded by General Osten-Sacken, who some weeks ago replaced General Dannenberg. The re pulse of tine Russians had given great confidence to the Tant;; as. They at present readily volun teer, and the brigade to be composed of Crimeans at present numbers upwards of 5,000 recruits. A battalion is armed with Russian fire locks. The re is still a dearth of provisions at Eupatoria, :and subsequent to the last battle the natives turned out en masse, to pick up bread sup posed to be found in the knapsacks of the enemy, and to carry away the horses for the sake of the flesh. Letters received from Varna state that a new division o! Turkish troop, under the command of Hussein Pacha, had received orders to quit Shumla for Varna, and from thence embark for the Crimea. BELGIUM. The Miaisterial crisis in Belgium continues. M. Tesch, one , of the members of the Left, having been sent for by t he King, has declined the task of form ing a Ministry on the ground - that the Left cannot command a majority in the Chamber. The late Ministers &till refuse to return to office. The King of Holland, accompanied by the Mi nister of the Interior, left the Hague on the 7th for Arnheirct, the capital of Gold.erland, to visit the Exhibition .of the products of Dutch industry. A letter from Bellinzona,. of the 4th, states that the new constitution of Ticino bas been definitively adopted, 29 districts to 3 having voted in its favour. Some disturbances had occurred on that occasion in the districts of Riviera and Airolo, which are among the latter. The Due de Guiche, French ambassador to the Court of Sardinia, left Turin for Paris on the 6th, in consequence of the death of the Due de Gram mont, his father. In the sitting of the sth of the Chamber of De puties at Turin, a bill was passed, abolishing the Consular Tribunals of Turin and Nice, and esta blishing a Tribunal of Commerce in those towns. A letter from Turin of the sth, in the Corriere Mercantile of Genoa, states that the departure of the Piedmontese contingent, which was to embark for the Crimea about the middle of this month, has been postponed until the settlement of certain regulations now under consideration at London and Paris. The Opinione of Turin, of the 6th, states that Count Pasolini Zanelli, who accepted the office of Gonfaloniere of Forli in February last, was sud denly attacked a few days ago by an assassin at a short distance from that town, and severely, though not dangerously wounded with a stiletto. The culprit has not yet been discovered. The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa states on the strength of letters from Rome, that the withdrawal of Cardinal Antonelli from office is still uncertain, owing to the hesitation of Monsignor Viola Prela to accept his office. ATTSTRALIA. • PL - firlOU:i:Et, Arrived off, the ship Admiral, which left Port Philip on Dec. 7. Landed mails and passengers.

This forenoon, at eleven o'clock, the White Star line clipper ship Arabian, Capt. Bannatyne, from Melbourne, arrived off Holyhead, in 79 days. She sailed from that port on the 20th December. Her cargo consists of gold, wool, &c. She is expected in the river early to-morrow morning. We have received files of papers from Melbourne to the 7th December. No further disturbance had taken place. Martial law had been proclaimed at the gold fields at Bal larat, to commence on the 6th December. The principal leader of the diggers had been arrested. The Argo had arrived. In the Legislative Council on the 6th December, pursuant to notice, Mr. Miller moved : "That the Lieutenant-Governor, having been placed in a painfully embarrassing position since his arrival in Victoria, is entitled to the sympathy and support of this Council, and it pledge■ itself, by every means in its power, to aid him in restoring and maintaining law and order." In seconding this motion, the Colonial Secretary made the following statement : " Most of the disaffected," he said, "who did not form the bulk of the diggers, and many of the leaders, were foreigners, while the real hard-working diggers were de lighted with the timely intervention of the Government. He read extracts from despatches received that day from Captain Pasley and Commissioner Rede, showing this to be the case ; that order was now entirely restored, and that 417 licences had been issued in one day. He was also truly happy to say that the majority of the prisoners, as well as of those killed, were foreigners." The Argo, which left England on the 4th Octo ber, took out the famous news of the capture of Sebastopol„ and the Melbourne papers are full of that interesting event. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (Prom the Argus, of Dec. 7.) The gold market, partaking of the general excitement, was without transactions yesterday. The Admiral cleared for London with 55,606 ounces of gold, and a very large cargo of wood. ARRIVAL OF THE ARABIAN. (By Llectric Telegraph.) LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY, 9 a.m. The Arabian, which loft Melbourne on the 186 of December, arrived here this morning with ad vices to the 16th. She has broughtsB,ooo ounces of gold on freight, 18,000 bales of wool, and 200 passengers. At Ballarat all was quiet, the miners gradually resuming work. Captain Evans had left the camp, and an entire change of the officials was ex pected. • Trade was improving. At a public meeting on the disturbances at Vic toria, held at Hobart Town, an amendment, condemning the acts of the Legislature of that colony, wa+propOsed and carried. A sample of coal from Spring Bay, equal to the best qualities of Port Arthur, had been exhibited at Hobart Town. The prospect of gold being found in Tasmania was considerably strengthened. At Sydney trade was much depressed. English and foreign goods were being sacrificed daily, and it was feared the worst had not been reached. The gold market was quiet, at 31. 17s. per ounce. The Arabian fell in with large quantities of ice (some of the bergs very large) between long. 170 and 40 West ; btween long. 56 and 40 experi enced dense foggy weather, and the ship was hove to several times, the icebergs being so very numerous and the weather so thick that the ship was frequently within a few yards of a berg before it was detected. Crossed the equator on the 15th. The Antelope left Melbourne for the Cape of Good Hope and Liverpool, in company with the Arabian. The Constance, Sultana, and Delgany, from Liverpool, arrived at Melbourne. BANK OF FRANCE.
