The cotton market at Liverpool yesterday Was dull and heavy. The sales amounted to 6,000 bales. Fair Uplands were 6id., Orleans 6id, and Mobile 6id. per lb. Railway Shares were more active, and tended upwards. The Directors of the Devonshire Great Consoli dated Copper Mining Company, at their board meeting, held this day, declared a dividend of 9 ,210/., being 91. per share, out of profits from sales of copper ores, sampled in the months of May and June last. After payment of which there remains, in hand, a balance of 25,5331. 19s. lid. in cash, ore tills, not in maturity, and re served fund, applicable to the general purposes of the Company. The merchants and business men of Oswego have entered into an agreement, in order to give additional effect to reciprocity of trade, to take the British shilling at 25 cents—a quarter dollar, the same for which they pass current in eanada. The Bank of England return for the week to ,the 15th inst. gives a reduction of bullion, per haps rather smaller than was expected, but an in crease in discounts that explains the advance to 4 4 per cent., compared with the previous week. Th e changes are as follows Active circulation Decrease Bullion Decrease Rest £19,713,047 428.635 13,698,455 518,921 3,644,704 7,364 7,838,531 247,194 ,146,762 Increase Public Deposits Increase Other Deposits Increase Seven-Day and other Bills Decrease Government Securities Decrease.

The exports of the precious metals from London direct, during the week, to Thursday last, corn- Prised 6,800 ounces of silver and 22,344 ounces of gold. The letters and paps from New York per steamer Hermann have just been delivered. The stock market at the latest date was buoyant, and pe speculation for an advance was very active. he excess of imports over exports in last August Was 13,280,065 dols. In consequence of the greater ease experienced in the money market, the diminution in the amount of bullion held by the Bank, although larger than 111 any expected, had no effect upon the funds. vonsols for transfer opened at 89i and 90, and Closed at 90 to 901 For account the latest prices mere 90k India Stock was at 228. Exchequer Bills brought ls. to 4s. premium. , 'Foreign Securities the dealings have been l inlited, and Turkish Bonds have ruled heavy at 90 4 to 91.

Notwithstanding the steadiness of the Funds, and the favourable traffic returns, yesterday's im provement in Railway Shares was not supported, and, with one or two exceptions, they were veryttle dealt in. A fair business was done in Cana lines, but Grand Trunk were flatter. The Great Western of Canada were firm. Paris (and Lyons, and one or two of the other foreign lines Were weaker. Alines and Banks were quiet. Canada Land shares are Si. higher. Van Diemen's Land were ririzer. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) Engines. Arms Der Cent.

(Before Mr. Alderman Kennedy.) CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.-Mr. Prior, 15, Finsbury place, was summoned for not complying with the regu lations issued by the Court of Aldermen, with reference to the traffic over London-bridge. Police-constable 257 slated that he was on duty on the Surrey side of London-bridge, on Friday the 14th inst., for the purpose of regulating the traffic according to the orders issued by the Court of Aldermen for that pur pose. The defendant, who was driving a pony in a four wheel carriage, was going at a " slow straggling trot" between the walking and trotting ranks. He spoke to him respecting it, and, put the horses' head twice into the trotting ranks, but the defendant would not drive there, and insisted on going into the walking rank, saving he would go where he liked, and do as he pleased. _ _ _ 311 1 90 In cross-examination by Mr. Farrer, who appeared for the defendant, witness said he did not know if the defendant was aware of the regulations. He did not inform him what they were. The regulations were posted up at each end of the bridge. Mr. Prior said he knew nothing of the regulations, and was not aware they were posted up. Mr. Farrer contended the defendant bad not com mitted a breach of the regulations, neither had he done anything to render him liable to magisterial interference. He had a perfect right to drive either a walk or a trot over London-bridge. Alderman Kennedy said there could be no doubt the public had a right to drive either a walk or trot over the bridge, but it was necessary they should comply with the regulation to facilitate the passage of the traffic over the bridge, and prevent obstructions. In this case, after the horse's head was turned into the trotting rank, and the defendant elected to go in the walking rank, he resisted the authority of the police, and said he would go and do as he liked. He fined him 58., and the expenses. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. ASSAVLTING THE POLlCE.—George Wilson was charged with being drunk and disorderly, and violently assault. log the police. Police-contable 482 deposed that last night, about a quarter to 10 o'clock, the prisoner was drunk in Man sion.bouse.street, and obstructing the pathway. Two females came to him and complained of his conduct. He cautioned him, on which he used most foul language imaginable. He then took him into custody, and when removing him from the office to the cell he kicked him such a severe blow on the shin of the leg that he was afraid he should have to give up duty for some time. The prisoner denied assaulting the policeman, and said the charge was preferred against him through spite. An officer of the court said the prisoner was a noted character. He had been four times brought here and three times committed to Holloway. The prisoner asked Sir W. Carden to look it over this time. He would never come before him again as he in. tended oh Monday to,join the Land Transport Corps. Sir W. Carden said the prisoner must defer joining the Land Transport Corps for 14 days, during which time he would visit Holloway, and be kept on bread and die water. He was accordingly committed for 14 days. /amp, _Kirk was eli.rged with assaulting James O'Connor with a pitchfork. The complainant stated that he went this morning into Blue-yard, Bevis Marks, for his truck, where the defendant, who keeps a horse there was cleaning it. The horse being in the way, he requested the defendant to move it, which he refused, and an altercation took place between them, in the couseof which the defendantstruck at him with a pitchfork, and in putting his hand up to guard the blow off, the prong of the fork went through his hand ; he was also struck on the head and leg. Defendant said the complainant was a very hasty man, and it was in consequence of his conduct towards the horse that tha altercation took place. Sir W. Carden—But that is no reason why you should pitchfork him. Inspector Scott, P. C. C 25, and the defendant's land lord gave him an excellent character. The complainant, they said, was of very drunken habits and quarrelsome disposition. A young man who was present said the defendant did not strike the complainant with the pitch fork. Ho believed he received the injury in his band in searching for a hammer amongst some empty cases with which to strike the defendant ; it was then the complainant had recourse to the pitch fork. Sir R. W. Carden bound them both over to keep the peace for six months. BOW-STREET. POST-OFFICE ROBBERY.—Richard Walker, a sorter in the General Post•oflice, was placed at the bar, in accor dance with remand, charged with stealing two letters. It will be recollected that at the last examination the prisoner was remanded, in order that the two parties by whom the letters were sent might be communicated with. The evidence of Mr. Clarke having been read over to him, Mr. Peacock asked the witness whether he had any doubt that the coat the prisoner at present wore was the one he had on when the robbery was committed. Mr. Clarke was perfectly confident that the coat the prisoner had on at present was the one he had on the whole of the morning in question. It was alleged by the prisoner that the letter must have been placed in his pocket, as he had left it lying under the stairs for some time the morning he was ac cused of robbery. Mr. Tuck was then called, and having looked at one of the letters, which was addressed " Mr. R. Tuck, Great Western Stables, Paddington," stated that he had no doubt the letter was intended for him. The magistrate then ordered the witness to open the letter, and it was found to contain a sovereign placed in a card. Mr. Henry Toomer, residing at 117, Limington-street, Vauxhall-road, having looked at the other letter, which was addressed to him, opened it in presence of the ma gistrate, and it was found to contain a half sovereign similarly fastened in a card as the preceding letter. The letter was from !a relative of his wife's named Thorne, and it came from Hampshire. The prisoner having been called upon for his defence, said he should reserve what he had to say till a future occasion. The prisoner was then fully committed for trial. SHERIFF OF LONDON.—Mr. Henry Francis Richard son, citizen and joiner, is a candidate for this distin guished office noxt year, and there is no doubt that his forward,numerous l u l p have a o v r t e e r e s v , e a r y t r w e h a whose n t s oo be c e i t s a a t t i s n fi e h d e w h t s h co me their selection. We have no hesitation in saying that, if elected, he will serve the office with dignity and princely splendour. BANE OF FRANCE.—It appears that the rise yesterday in the rate of the Bank of France from 4 to 5 per cent. was limited to advances on stocks and shares, and is not yet applied to commercial bills. The aim of the mea sure, therefore, was exclusively against the spirit of spe culation on the Paris Bourse and the operations of the Credit Mobilier. As, however, there could be little prospect of an attempt of this kind to distinguish be tween an unhealthy state of affairs in one department of business and the soundness observable in another being permanently effective, it is assumed that the measure will in a short period be extended to all descriptions of securities. SUICIDE AT WATERLOO-BRIDGE.—Last evening Mr. Langham held an inquest on the body of Fanny Elliott, aged 19, who had committed suicide by throwing her self from Waterloo-bridge on the previous morning. The deceased, who was within two months of her confine ment, had latterly been in low spirits in consequence of her desertion by a young man named Mason, with whom she had cohabited about a year and a half. Verdict, "Temporary insanity." ADDRESS TO HER MAJESTY. —A congratulatory ad dress from the Coipora,tion of Southampton, upon the fall of Sebastopol, will be forwarded in a day or two for presentation to her Majesty the Queen. 812 e 20 20 10 10 10 5 20 18 17i 20 20 20 20 20 100 RAIL,/ AYE; Bedford and Bletchley Buckghamsh.

The following letter, addressed to a Parisian journal, contains an account of the operations of the allied fleet in the Sea of Azoff, down to the latest date received from that quarter : YENIKALE, Sept. s.—The allied flotilla, consisting of three English vessels and three French, ran into Ghen itschi to within a distance of 1,000 or 1,100 yardes and bombarded the place again. What had been only da maged before by cannon shot has now become a prey t• the flames. Two Russian post-houses and some barracks, laid out for a winter camp, have met with the same fate as the town, of which the outline alone remains. The enemy never thought of replying, and, as we say at sea, contented himself with at once clearing oat. After the bombardment, our flotilla proceeded to the Spit of Arabat, as an expedition had been planned with the object of burning some small vessels discovered in the Putrid Sea and a village placed on our maps to the south-west of Ghenitschi. A strong westerly wind, how ever, put an end to our preparations for the attack. It is impossible to conceive the sudden rapidity with which these storms arise in these parts. The fathomless water soon rolls in alternate mountain and abyss, and renders the navigation excessively dangerous. We have happily to deplore no loss of life, and got cheaply off with three or four boats.crews well ducked. The project, however, is but postponed. The Sea of Azoff is perpetually agitated by our little steamers. Nothing escapes their vigilance, and if I have no great exploits to recount s because such are materially impossible, I have at least the satisfaction of assuring You that every one 'does his beat. Each of the squadron cannonades, burns, and destroys all that it sues, and it is evident that the sum total of these partial operations inflicts on the enemy considerable damage. Our Cimmerian Bosphorus presents a more animated appearance since the arrival of our steam gun and mor tar boats. They take a tack every day into the Strait, and exercise their guns. They will be of immense ser vice at the proper time and place. On the 17th of last month they were laid broadside on off Kertch, at about one hundred yards from the quay, and exhibited a for midable row of ordnance. This precaution was the re sult'of the appearance of an advanced guard of infantry and irregular cavalry, and a movement of Cossacks, which led us to anticipate an attack on the town during the night, with the intention of burning our corn stores. Everything was ready for the reception of the marauders, bnt the night passed off tranquilly, and the next morning the enemy was seen at a little village two or three miles to the north of Yenikale. This force was estimated at 6,000 strong, and was supposed to be the advanced guard of Wrangel's corps. We were expecting him for four-and-twenty hours, and the whole camp was in delight. The ships Moored off had orders to be iu readiness to support us. We were all deceived, and 'learnt that the enemy had beated a retreat, carrying off with him a few Tartars and some head of cattle, for which we intend to make him pay very dear, if he should again make his appear ance. It is very doubtful, though, if the RussiaLs will overcome to attack us, as they know we are perfectly entrenched, anti even strong enough to offer him battle. Whatever may happen we are ready for it, and are long ing for something to break the monotony of our ex istence. In my next letter I shall probably be able to give you an account of the result of a litt!e expedition that we know to be in preparation, though the quarter his in tended for is of course kept secret.

DESPATCHES FROM REAR ADMIRAL LYOII S. ( From a Supplement to Friday's Gazette.) ADMIRALTY, SEPT. 22. Despatches, of which the following are copies, have been received from Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, G.C.8., Commander-in -Chief of her Majesty's shipe and vessels in the Mediterranean and Black Sea. Royal Albert, off Sebastopol, Sept. 10. Sir,—Of the operations on shore, whiCh have produced the successful result of the singular and memorable siege of Sebastopol, her Majesty's Government will be informed by General Simpson ; but it is my duty to report to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty what has taken place afloat and on the seaboard under my own observa tion. It had been arranged by Generals Simpson and Pelis. sier, Admiral Bruat and myself, that precisely at noon on the Bth instant the allied fleets should open fire upon the Quarantine Batteries that enfiladed the approach of the assaulting columns ; but unfortunately the wea ther, which had been fine for some days, changed on the morning of the attack, and a north-west gale and heavy sea rendered it impossible for any vessels to act upon batteries situated on the lee shore of this exposed road stead. It will, however, appear by the enclosed reports from Captain Wilcox, of the Odin, and Captain Digby, of the Royal Marine. Artillery (whom, as well as the junior officers mentioned by them, I beg leave particu larly to recommend to the favourable consideration of their lordships), that the mortar vessels attached to the fleets kept up a very effective fire from their position in the Bay of Strelitzka. As the day closed, things in the harbour seemed to be in the same state as they were in the morning, but, during the night, several heavy explosions were heard, and at dawn we observed that the fortifications on the south side were in flames, and that the six remaining ships-of-the-line had been sunk at their moorings, leav ing afloat no more of the late Russian Black Sea Fleet than two dismasted corvettes and nine steamers, most of which are very small. Soon afterwards the enemy were seen retreating across the newly constructed bridge, until the south side of the harbour, on which the naval and military arsenals, the public buildings, and the town of Sebastopol are situated, appeared to be completely evacuated, and then the southern portion of the bridge was hauled over to the north shore. It is now my pleasing duty, to render justice to the admirable conduct of all whom I have had the hondizr and happiness to command during the last nine months of this arduous struggle, and whose duties I shared in before ; for although, with the exception of the Naval Brigade in the camp, whose gallant bearing from the beginning, under the command of Sir Stephen Lushiug ten, has been beyond all praise, and never mere so than. during the last two bombardments under the command, of the Hon. Captain leppel, it has not fallen to the lot of the Navy on this occasion to perform distinguished deeds of arms such as those of their gallant' brethren in the Army ; still, whilst straining every nerve, night and day, under very trying circumstances, to supply the means for carrying on the siege, in the glory of which they could not share, the generous dives or encouragement, unalloyed by envy, has always been heartily given in the day of triumph ; nor have sympa thy and assistance ever been wanting in the hour of dis tress and suffering ; the same sentiments have pervaded all ranks—captains, officers, seamen, and marines, all agreeing with each other in following, as I believe I have said once before, the excellent example set them by my able second in command and coadjutor Rear-Admiral Houston Stewart. Perhaps in closing this letter I may be permitted to indulge in the expression of the gratification I feel in re flecting that under all the circumstances to which it lutes, my gallant colleague Vice-Admiral Bruat and I have gone heart and hand together, and that the most perfect understanding and hearty co-operation in the great cause of humanity in which we are all engager, have invariably prevailed throughout both fleets.—l am, &c. (Signed) EDMUND LYONS, Rear-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief. To the Secretary of the Admiralty. Strelitzka Bay, September 8, 1855. Sir —I have the honour to report that, in pursuance of the orders which I received from you this morning, I opened fire from the mortar vessels, at 8.30 a.m., upon the Quarantine Battery, and a general and more rapid fire, from noon until 7 p.m., upon the Quarantine Bat tery and Fort Alexander. The two outward vessels were much exposed to the swell which set into the bay, rendering a large object desirable, and I therefore di rected their fire between Artillery Bay and the Bastion de Quarantine, where I had been informed that Russian reserves were placed. The force of the wind and heavy swell which pre vailed were singularly unfavourable to accuracy, and the general satisfactory nature of the firing was due to the ability exercised by the officers of Royal Marine Ar tillery who conducted it ; and I beg to submit to your notice the names of First Lieutenant Starr, First Lieu tenant Hewett, First Lieutenant Brookes, First Lieu tenant Festing, and First Lieutenant Pitman, the offi cers employed. The non-commissioned officers and gunners also per formed their duties in a most satisfactory manner ; and I may especially mention the services of Colour-Serjeant Horner, who, in the absence of an officer, undertook the firing of the Firm, mortar-vessel. Owing to the state of the weather, and the smallness of the means at their disposal, the officers in command had to overcome great difficulties in maintaining the position of their vessels ; and I beg to be allowed to express my high opinion of the services of MessrQ. Leet, Creagh, and Pearson, Brent, Hart, and Vaughan (mates), who do ably performed these duties, and greatly contri buted to the success of the firing.—l have, &c., (Signed) G. DIGBY, Captain Royal Marine Artillery. Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, Bart., G. C. B. Her Majesty's ship Odin, off Sebastopol, Sept. 8, 1855. Sir, —I have the honour to acquaint you that, acting in pursuance of your directions, and in conjunction with Capt. Bachm, commanding four French mortar-vessels, you did me the honour of placing under my command, till 7 p.m., against the Quarantine Fort and outworks, as well as upon Fort Alexander and the upper bastions (where, near to the latter place, a large number of the enemy's reserve were posted), keeping their fire so com pletely under that only a few shot and shell were re turned, and but few fired into the French battery and advanced works before us. A small number of canvasses were also successfully thrown into the town and upper bastion, which produced a conflagration of some extent. To Capt. Digby, Royal Marine Artillery, and the artillery officer in each vessel, I must attribute the suc cessful practice, and lam glad of the opportunity of bringing to your notice the indefatigable and zealous conduct of Mr. H. K. Leet, Mate, in charge of the firm, who, from being the senior officer of the mortar vessels has always ably carried out my instructions ; and I am happy to bear testimony to the praiseworthy conduct of Messrs. J. B. Creagh, T. L. Pearson, H. W. Brent, A. F. Hart, and Henry Vaughan, Mates, in charge of the other mortar vessels. I have also great pleasure in stating that no casualty occurred, and that neither the mortars nor vessels were at all damaged by the heavy firing.—l have, &c., (Signed) J. A. WILLCOX, CaptAin. Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, Bart., &c., &c., G.C.B. PROCEEDINGS OF NAVAL BRIGADE. Royal Albert, off Sebastopol, Sept. 10, 1855. Sir,—l beg leave to enclose, for the information of the Lords;Commissioners of the Admiralty, copy of a letter from Captain the Hon. Henry Keppel, reporting the proceedings of the Naval Brigade under his command, on the 7th and Bth instant, and enclosing a list of casu alties.—l am, &c., (Signed) EDMUND LYONS.

Sir,—l have the honour to inform you that, in pursuance of instructions, a vigorous fire was opened from the batteries at six o'clock on the morning of the 7th, and was maintained throughout the day ; the fire wa recommenced yesterday morning with increased vi gour, preparatory to an assault to be made by our Allies on the Malakhoff, and subsequently by ourselves on the Redan. 2. At noon the French were observed to start en masse from their trenches and possess themselves in gallant style of the Malakhoff Battery, on which the tricolor flag was hoisted and the imperial eagles planted within ten minutes of their quitting their trenches. 3. The French flag was no sooner displayed on the Malakhoff than our storming party issued from their trenches and assailed the salient angle of the Redan, but the enemy were by that time prepared to meet them, and as the supporting party advanced a heavy fire of grape and canister was opened on them, in spite of a brisk fire kept up from our batteries on all parts of the Ne 4 d . an A not r a m s s a a i n i t e a d, in a i n s g w e t h l l e a f s o o o n t n t g h e fl the a y n k h in ad g b g a a t i t n e e r d i e for the were groundobliged sufficientlyto retire, I the tes t k i f i y l d g sandons e w t o i u m n e d , e o d u our e t f r t o o o n p s how gallantly they had fought. 5. The fire &mil our batteries was kept up until dark, and at about eleven o'clock the enemy evacuated the Redan, after having fired a train that exploded the magazines. 6. This morning's light showed how successful and complete had been the victory gained by the allied forces. 7. The enemy had evacuated all their positions on the south side of the harbour ; the town, Fort Nicolai, Fort Paul, and dockyard, were in flames, and their line•of battle ships had been sunk in the positions they were last seen in when at anchor. S. The conduct, of the officers and men of the bi igad under my command has been such as to continue t o merit the high opinion you have been pleased to exprees of them. P. I have the honour to enclose a list of casualties for the 7th and Bth.—l am, &c., (Signed) HENRY KEPPEL, Captain Commanding Royal Naval Brigade, Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, Bart., &c., Commander-in-Chief.

THE FALL OF SEBASTOPOL. The Pays, referring to the intelligence convtyed in General Pelissier's last telegraphic despatches, makes the following brief observations : " The preservation of Fort Nicholas and of the Qua rantine Fort renders the batteries of Fort Constantine of no effect, and nadds much to the obstacles which the Russians would have to meet with in establishing them selves in the Northern Fort. Besides, the rumour was generally accredited at Vienna that on the 17th Prinee Gortschakoff had been informed of the retreat of the Russian corps encamped at Bakshi-Serai and Simphero pol. It is not, however, impossible that, in place of proceeding towards Perekop, the road of which could be intercepted by the Turkish army at Eupatoria, the Russians might endeavour to reach New Russia by the lagoons of the Putrid Sea, where the allied army could not pursue them. Whatever, may be the exacti tude of that intelligence, we still think that the Russian army has 01 o t any other reasonable course to adopt, as Sebastopol was its only point d'appui in the Crimea. A stay of a longer or shorter continuance at Bakshi-Serai or near the forts on the north exposes it to complete destruction when the allies resume the offensive. Besides, Sebastopol being lost, and Eupatoria, Kamiesh, Bala klava, Kertch, Jeni-Kale, and the Biack Sea occupied by. the allies, what advantage could the Russians hope to derive from a longer delay in the mountains of the Crimea." • Spenier's G'cOectte of Berlin, of the nth, makes tLe ollowiiig remarks on4be fall of Sebastopol : " Had Sebastopol been taken a yes' ago, the Russian fleet of the Black Sea and the establishments of the Rus sian navy would no doubt have bee❑ destroyed as they are now, bent the taking of Sebastopol would have been but a lucky stroke, and would have produced no greater effect than lucky strokes generally do. But now this great maritime fortress has fallen by one of the most remark. able sieges of modern times. Its fall has cost a struggle which has lasted nearly a year, and in which both lcs sia and the Western Powers have put forth all their strength. To obtain a decisive result, three battles and three great assaults have been required ; and as this re sult has turned to the disadvantage of Russie, on her own soil,, we may conclude that even on land Russia is no match for the Western Powers, and that the con tinuation of the war would but entail new disasters upon her. This explains why the news of the fall of Sebastopol has produced se deep an impression through out Europe, and will not produce an inferior one in Asia." A private letter from Stockholm adds some details to the accounts already given of the joy manifested in that city by the news of taking of Sebastopol. The principal citizens at oncelassembled to decide on a place for a gene ral illumination, which took place, and an immense crowd paraded the streets, bailing with their bravos those houses which were the most strikingly decorated. One house alone was plunged in deep obscurity. "It need not," says the writer, " be mentioned that this was the Russian legation, and in passing by this dwelling %he crowd hastened their steps, as if to leave an accursed oPot" THE TAKING 017 THE MALAKHOFF. A French letter from Constantinople of the 11th states that the news of the taking of the Malakhoir, which reached at 2 o'clock p.m., produced in that capital an immense sensation. It was, however, considered too good to be true, and many hesitated to believe it. The Greeks openly manifested their incredulity. Despatches from head-quarters received the same day per the Amsterdam con firmed all that had been announced by the electric telegraph. The letter goes on to say— " The Malakhoff Tower, attacked with unexampled impetuosity to the cry of Vive l'Empereur,' was carried after a murderous struggle on both sides. The formidable position was occupied without delay, and batteries were established on it with remarkable celerity. The Little Redan of Careening Bay was also taken, but as the Russian batteries poured down a tremendous fire on those who were the first to occupy it, our men were obliged to abandon it to return to it afterwards. The few details I have picked up I send you in haste, as the Indus weighs anchor in two hours. On the night of the 7th all the necessary arrangements were taken by General Pelissier with admirable precision. On the Bth, at mid-day our assaulting columns issued from their posts, and marched on against the enemy to the cry of Vive l'Empereur,' with an impetuosity beyond all description, and in spite of a terrible fire in front, and a flanking fire from the Little Redan, the ditch was soon passed, and after an hour of a murderous struggle the French flag floated on the tower, and was hailed with one electric shout of triumph by the whole army. Batteries were instantly placed in posi tion, and we are established in the Malakhoff in as solid a manner as if we had held the place for a long time past. Our battery poured down on the Russian fleet a perfect storm of shells; three ships were set on fire in spite of the precautions of the Rus sians, and the following morning those that had not been destroyed by our shot were sunk by the Russians. The south part of the city was on fire, and the Russians passed into the north forts. kil ` l ' e O d u ; r fo lo u SlehaveyraeloGnleynebreaelns able e e to be a e s n . certain one name among the latter—that of General Bosquet. We have, moreover, 4,000 men hors de com bat. I cannot vouch for the exactness of this last num srseasrearweosuenvdeered. The num ber, and the first estimate is too often erroneous.. attack on the Redan by the English was made with the utmost vigour. They were repulsed three times, but each time those gallant troops returned to the charge, and remained masters of the position. The Little Redan of Careening Bay was also occupied, but the Russian fire, which inflicted enormctus injury on the first occu pants, did not allow us to maintain it. A telegraphic despatch, received yesterday at the French embassy, announces that the city is occupied by the allied troops. I am in hourly expectation of letters from the Crimea, which, I trust, will give me more complete details than those I now send you." A postscript to the foregoing says : " A letter written on board the Indus, at 7 p.m., con tains the following :---` General Rivet is killed, as also Colonel Chmsaiane, General Pelissier's Chief of the Staff. The English have suffered severely. When the Russians saw that we were masters of the Malakhoff Tower they blew up the Bean. All was mined, but they had no time to blow up the Malakhoff. I learn from an eye-witness that the Russians blew up the Centre Bastion ; as they were retiring the Quarantine was also on fire. We now occupy the entire of the south part of the city. The Russians set fire to the t small vessels and sank th e l arge ones. It appears that for those who were on b oard the fleet the sigD they be held was impossibl e t o g i ve an idea of. The French and undeterred dashed into the city undismayed deterred by the flames." t t short w Another lett er from the Crimea gives an ide3 of the state of di scouragement of th e R uss i ans fv forhSielebaagstoopa ol: ,e,A the ve attack very ck of corps of 1,000 men was required for a sortie against the French, who were oc cupied in certain works particularly obnoxious to the Russians. These last had been boasting that they could furnish not, only 1,000, but 10,000 volunteers at any moment. Only 150, neither more nor less, presented themselves; the sortie was abandoned, and the French went on with their work quietly." PROPOSED INCREASE 01 1 THE DOCK RATE S AT LINTER POOL.—At the meeting of the Liverpool Dock Com mittee on Thursday, after the reporters had left the room, the chairman produced an estimate of the expen diture for the year ending the 30th of June next, includ ing 200,0001. for new - works and the repair of existing works, and stated that, taking the income of the present year at the same amount as last year, there would pro bably be a deficiency of upwards of 18,0001. in the re ceipts as compared with the expenditure. In order to meet this deficiency it was presumed that it would be necessary to increase the dock rates on ships and goods to the extent of 10 per cent. Mr. Evans thought t committee should have taken their financial positio consideration before they made the purchases o hand from the Earl of Derby and Mr. J. S. Leigh.
