WIND, S.S.W.—Light, with very fine sunshiny weather, • liaav " :& 74 • o e•- qb •ffi, N.) Ant LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1854, We have an additional day's intelligence from the army of the Crimea. It comes in the shape of a brief but very interesting despatch from th€.. French and English Commanders—Marshal ST. ARNAUD and Lord RAGLAN—tO OMER PACIIA, and bears date the 17th instant. After stating the successful and unopposed disembarkation of the troops to the north of Sebastopol, of which we had previous information, it adds that " this circumstance had produced the most profound impression on the Tartar population, who do not conceal their sympathy for our cause ; " and also that " all our guns and materiel have been landed, and we march on Sebastopol with every confidence in the success of our grand enterprise." This is, indeed, cheering tid ings, confirming what might reasonably have been anticipated, but on which no implicit reli ance could have been placed. It is peculiarly satisfactory to find that the sympathies of the native population are along with the Allied Forces, who will be regarded, not as invaders, but libera tors. For seventy years they have been enslaved under the most galling description of tyranny. Muscovite despotism is bad enough under any circumstances, even to those who look up with almost fanatic devotion to " the god of the Rus sians ;" but it must be absolutely intolerable to the " aliens in blood and in religion" who, under the grasping policy of aggression so long pursued by the so-called CoLossus of the North, have been unfairly annexed to his already over-grown empire. The Jews and Tartars can have no feeling in common with the " head of the Orthodox Church." They find themselves reduced to a state but little better than slavery—that their labour, nay, more, their very lives, are considered at the disposal of the AUTOCRAT or his servants. It is said that the ar rogant and bullying MENSCIIIKOFF called for a levy ca masse—that he required every male adult to take up arms, and to lay down his life, in defence—not of his native soil, but—ofßussian influence. What was there in the antecedents of the parties to demand such an act of sublime devotion ? A free people might be prepared to sacrifice their lives in defence of their religion, their homes, and their liberties. "Pro aris, et foci?" is a sacred call, which, whenever truly put forward, will elicit suit able responses from every high-minded individual, no matter what may be his creed or country. But men will not immolate themselves to maintain a system of vile oppression and serfdom, to re tain a Government that will not openly recog nise, and scarcely connives at, their ancient institutions. The Russian influence is emphati cally based on fear, not on love. Terror is the inspiring principl e, and that will be disregarded on the first feasible opportunity —the earliest occasion that offers a reasonable prospect of shak ing off the yoke. These views might be tak en b y any person acquainted with the ordinary worki ngs of the human mind—the springs by W hi ch mankind are we now receive an influenced ; and additional illustration of the great truth. It is ind ee d a matter of the greatest consequence to fin d that our f orces are not operating among a hostile race, who, lik e the Spanish Guerillas, would strain every nerve, and make every possible sacrifice to defeat, or retard their operations. In place of such opposition, which must always be formidable, we bee that they have the best wishes of the inhabitants, who will, therefore, be not only neutral, but willing to render any aid in their power, more especially in the way of affording authentic information to the leaders. Many of the inhabitants of the Crimea entertain peculiar doctrines respecting the unlawfulness of any description of war. They are termed " Monnonists," and are of Germanic origin, resembling, in many respects, our own Quakers, but going to the extent of con sidering the shedding of human blood, even in self-defence, an inexpiable crime. The parties, however, among whom the landing has taken place are chiefly of the Tartar or Jewish raise, who wo uld . be disposed to render more active assistance 4,4,= Vii: ll !"LEI T .1....' HE A.

The accompanying itroops, it was thought, could have covered the landing, and that thus some serious impediments might have been avoided. It is, however, by no means improbable that the experience of the ground iswell and surf at " Old Fort" made the naval and military commanders desirous of completing the operation, and leaving nothing whatsoever to chance ; and we believe that public opinion will ratify the propriety of the course adopted. It seems to have been understood that the army would have marched on towards Sebastopol on the morning of the 18th ; and as the distance was less than thirty miles, it was generally expected that the attack would be commenced by the 20th, or Wednesday last. Something decisive may already have taken place. The Russian granite will once more have to sustain the shock of French and English " heavy metal," and we trust that the scenes of Bomarsund may be repeated with still greater effect on a different and more important stage. As to the fleet, if they show, we trust to the Admirals and their gallant followers to render a good account of them. If they continue to skulk under stone walls, why they will be got rid of with still less trouble. At all events, is com mon with the Allied Generals, we feel " every confidence in the success of the grand enterprise." It is at all times pleasing to find the existence of a cordial understanding between a popular re presentative and his constituents. Com plete unanimity can scarcely be antici pated, but even to preserve a general accord is satisfactory—when the chosen mem ber of a large constituency can fearlessly ren der an honest account of his stewardship, certain that he has faithfully and efficiently discharged the important and arduous duties confided to his charge, and demand pression of unabated confidence, an admission that during the by gone session he had truly and accurately set forth the desires of those by whom he was elected to the first assembly of gentlemen in the world. The mere fact that there is an annual gather ing at which the electors and elected are brought face to face, the former to listen, and, if there be any doubt, to catechise the latter, to explain his conduct and answer every inter rogatory that may be exhibited, is in itself the strongest evidence of the good faith and integrity, the zeal and activity of the man who voluntarily submits to such an ordeal. If the custom were universal there would be little benefit to be derived rom shortening the duration of Parliament. The man who was certain of obtaining a vote of thanks from a large majority of the Electors would have nothing to fear from a re-appearance on the hust ings. The threat of a " dissolution" would carry with it no terrors to such a man. The interests of the country would not be merged in his own private convenience. He could give a conscientious vote without dreadin g that the result of " an appeal to the country " would be to render it the last divi sion of the popular branch of the Legislature in which he would be entitled to participate. Among the few who have adopted this laud able practice JOHN MACGREGOR, the talented, indefatigable, and consistent member for Glasgow, assumes a prominent position. Since his first election, when, in order to advance the principles of " unrestricted competition," he deliberately re linquished a position which many men would have regarded as a handsome compensation for protracted and valuable services, JOHN MACGREGOR has courted the strictest investigation into every part of his conduct. He never gave a vote which he was not prepared to explain and justify. He never abandoned a principle or looked to the in terests of " men" rather than to the efficacy of " measures." He was not one of those who " To party gave up what was meant for mankind," but in every instance advocated sound views of general policy, while he was peculiarly diligent on all matters affecting the locality with which he was more particularly connected. In our impression of yesterday we gave an ex tended report of the exceedingly interesting meeting of the electors and non-electors of the city of Glasgow. The annual addresses of the Honourable Gentleman liave acquired so prominent a position among State documents —they contain so much sound practical infor mation, combined with accute reasoning, that they are anxiously looked for by men of all classes and varieties of political feeling, and it would be inexcusable for any journal to withhold them from its readers. On the present occasion it was more especially interesting, for ho treated of a matter of vital importance to the honour, the welfare—nay, more, the safety —of the Empire. On a former occasion he had addressed himself to the defences of tke king dom, when it was erroneously supposed that we had something to dread from the ambition of our nearest neighbours. He had on the present occasion the more pleasing duty of referring to the cordial and friendly alliance subsisting between England and France —an alliance of which from our hearts we fervently hope may be perpetual ; and which the Hon. Gentleman has truly stated to be " with regard to civilisation, with regard to commercial freedom and inter course, the greatest event that has occurred since the breaking down of the Roman Empire" —an alliance " which is so powerful, that the rest of Europe and all its tyranny, and despotism, and aristocratical pretensions could never with stand it." The Honourable Gentleman was enabled to speak with greater confidence as to the feeling of the chosen EMPEROR of FRANCE, the elected of eight millions of Frenchmen, delivering their suffrages under the seal of "the Ballot," inasmuch as he had previously been on terms of close friendship with the illustrious man wh o now rules the destinies of that great nation. He therefore knew the honest sentiments of Louis NAPOL-E0 with respect to England and the Eng lish, and could bear valuable testimony with respect thereto. With such an unimpeachable witness, we may trust that the honest aspiration respecting the entiente cordiale between France an d England, Este perpetue, may be granted to the utmost extent. Mr. 3JACGREGOR has shown the formidable effects that might have followed the p ern i. ClOll5 and aggressive policy ofj R ussia if a steadfast and determined resistanc e had not been opposed thereto—France and England, those who would have been the least affected by permitting the full development of the nefarious design of the AUTOCRAT. And it is to their THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 26, 1854. sia. We are sorry to hear that the Rev. J. Duftrin, author of "National Education; What it is, and what it should be," &c., to whom the cause of public education is deeply indebted, and of whose writings and suggestions the Lords of the Committee of Council on Education so freely avail themselves—is now suffering from a severe attack of intermittent fever. ROUEN.—The letters from Rouen state that the market for manufactures was heavy, purchases having lately diminished. A GRANT FROM THE ROYAL BOUNTY.—Through the kind exertions of Lord James Stuart, her Majesty has been pleased, ix consequence of the recommendation of the Earl of Aberdeen, to make a grant of 1001. to Mrs. Taylor, the widow of Mr. James Taylor, the discoverer of steam navigation. MR. FLEXMORE'S BENBFIT.—This unequalled comic dancer takes his benefit on Tuesday evening next at the Surrey Theatre, where he has most efficiently acted as ballet master throughout the successful opera season, which terminates with the present week. His merits and popularity are sure to command a bumper house, and the programme announces an exuberant fund of entertainment for his patrons. DISCOVERY OF HUMAN REMAINS IN LONG-LANE, SMITIFIELD.—This morning and yesterday a large quan tity of human remains were discovered by the workmen employed in excavating en the site of two houses on the south side of Long-lane, Smithfield ; from old records there is no doubt that this formed part of the burial ground of the ancient Monastery, as a great number of human remains have been found on pulling down other houses in the vicinity, and five or six stone coffins—one of which is in the possession of Mr. Palmer, the late churchwarden of that parish. Nothing but dust was found in the coffins. On the north side of the boundary wall, through which the new sewer is now being made, formerly plague pits were formed and upwards of 50,000 persons interred, adjacent to which Bishop Stratford enclosed a piece of land with a brick wall, on which he built a chapel, and named it the Pardon Church-yard. Here also suicides and persons who had been executed were buried, and in Smithfield the remains of martyrs who were burnt at the stake were found during the for mation of the sewer through Smithfield. FORGERY AND FLIGHT OF A VISTRT CLBRE.-011 Sa turday morning information was received at the office of the Commissioners of Police, Great Scotland-yard, re- specting the sudden disappearance of Mr. John Norton, the vestry-clerk of St. Ann's, Limehouse, Middlesex, who has absconded from his residence and duties at the Town-hall, with a large amount of the parochial fuudd and other cash. METROPOLITAN GRAIEYARDEL—The authorities of St. Mary, Islington, have received a communication from the Home-office in reference to the treatment of those graveyards in that parish which have been closed for in terments by order in council. A similar order has been received by the authorities of Marylebone and St. Pan cras, and all other parishes where such orders in council have been issued." ? , In reference to Islington, an order in council has also been issued ordering to be closed forthwith the Roman Catholio burial ground of St. Job the Evangelist. The order is as follows " Circular (Copy). " Whitehall, Sept. 15, 1854. " Geatlernon,—l am directed by Viscount Palmer. &ton to recommend that the surface of the burial grourd or burial grounds in your parish which Lave been closed fur Interments by an order in council should be •overed with quick lime, with the view to prevent any noxious exhalations escaping from them which might tend to in crease the virulence of the prevailing epidemic.—l am, gentlemen, your obedient servant, " H. WADDINGTON. "To John Layton, Esq., Vestry-clerk, and the Churchwardens of the parish of St. Mary, Islington." THE TELEGRAPH.--The telegraph is now in working order between Huntly and Kittybrewster, along the line of the Great North of Scotland Railway, though as yet it is not available for general purposes. Some of the residents along the line and its northern extremity have queer notions of the nature of that wonderful and use ful agent. A very respectable individual, for example, on being told the other day that shortly he would be able to send a message to London, and get an answer back in half an hour or so, exclaimed in utter astonish ment, " Loch be here, man, nae mortal could sit at that rate !”—the poor man evidently imagining that the mes senger went along with the message. Another individual gravely asked a friend the other day, " How much could the telegraph carry?"—Banfishire Journal. VALUE OF LAND IN MELBOURNE.—The price of town land is almost beyond credit. There is no limit to the extravagant opinion that buyers and sellers entertain of its value. Innumerable instances might be quoted. In one case a house purchased for 2501., lately fetched 12,0001. Another, offered to Government for the use of the military for 3,0001., a month after was valued at 5,0001. They still hesitated, and the price gradually rose to 6,0001., which sum Government declined giv ing, having about that time received iron barracks. As another instance, Government have long desired Degraves's fine blue -stone store, and have made many liberal overtures, but without tempting the proprietor to sell. They at last asked him to name a price —a final figure—in order that they might settle the affair one way or another. He meditated awhile, and then as his ultimatum named 85,9001. DIABOLICAL OUTRAGE AT HARLOW.—On Monday, the 18th inst., a young man named Joseph Everett, of Har low, feloniously assaulted a little girl named Elizabeth Griffin, not four years old, and after the outrage threw the poor child into a stream, in which she must have been drowned had not William Nice, a labourer, for tunately come up at the time and rescued her. He at once gave information to Chaplis, a police-constable, who S ucceeded in apprehending the delinquent. He has been remanded to Epping station, where he will be further examined this day.--Chelmsford Chronicle. DULWICEI COLLEGE.—On Saturday a meeting was held at the vestry-room of St. Saviour's Church, Southwark, which was attended by the assistants of the college of Goa's Gift, Dulwich, who consist of the churchwardens of the several parishes of St. Saviour, Southwark, St. Botolph, IBishop•gate, and St. Luke's, Middlesex, the parishes interested in the college, and by parishioners appointed from the vestries of those parishes, to aid the churchwardens in bringing about a change in the con stitution of the governing body, and a more beneficial ap plication of the funds of the charity. The various schemes submitted to the Charity Commissioners relative to the college were read and fully discussed. Another meeting is appoiinted to be hold to settle the scheme to be agreed upon by the three parishes, after which it will be sub mitted to the Charity Commissioners, and on their report a measure will be submitted to Parliament in the next session. THE COSSAOR.—The lance which the Cossack carries is not longer than the English one, and has no flag • besides this, his other weapons are a heavy carbine slung at his back, a pistol stuck in his belt, and a long sword. His uniform is a blue frock coat, buttoned up to the throat, and wide trousers of the same colour. lie wears a high conical-shaped chake of black oil-skin, without a peak, which is kept on his head by a strap fastened under the chin. The Cossack's horse is gene rally a wiry animal, of about fourteen and a half hands high. His bridle is a plain snaffle, without aide bars : and his saddle is of a very rude construction. When a Cossack trots or gallops, he leans forward in his saddle, with the upper part of his body quito . straight—an atti tude, one would suppose, the least suited for comfort ; but he nevertheless sits his horse with extraordinary closeness.—O'Brien's Principalities. THE CHINESE CHIEF AND HIS CHAPLAIN.—The Cali fornia Courier states, that the honour of having trained and disciplined the chief who set in motion the ball of the revolution in China belongs to L J. Roberts, late a planter on the banks of the Mississippi. Tae-pan-wang has recently written a letter to the Rev. Mr. Roberts, in which he invites him to the camp of the insurgents as their teacher and chaplain. How THHY TREAT A RUFFIAN AT PARIS.—A respect able looking woman, named Bachelet, appeared, weeping bitterly, before the Tribunal of Correctional Police yes terday, to complain that her son, Gustave, though under sixteen years of age, had beat en h er w ith grea t b ru t a lit y . The tribunal condemned him to be confined in a house of correction until he shall attain the age of twenty.— Galignani's Messenger. The Inverness Advertiser says that in the course of last week upwards of one hundred individuals left Loehaber. They are principally front Lochiel district. Most of them have friends already in A.ostralia, who have remitted money to pay the cost of their transmis sion thither. Last season upwards of SOO/. was re mitted for this purpose, in sums varying from 101. to 501. • EARLY CLOSING.—Pire understand on and after the 2d of October the principal solicitors of this city intend closing their offices at six o'clock p.m., instead of eight, as now. The boon thus granted to their clerks will, we are sure, be thoroughly appreciated by them, and the more so as it was unsolicited. We hope to find so good an example speedily followed in all other offices in the town. —Salisbury Journal. honour that they so boldly stood forward in the cause of justice, and unsheathed their swords in the cause of humanity. Such conduct certainly presents a bright con trast to the paltry and contemptible proceedings of other Powers that look solely to their own pecu liar interests, which they dignify with the title of those of " Germany." Such vacillating and temporis ing is, however, more injurious to the parties them selves than to any others, and Prussia will have deeper reason to rue the imbecility and selfish ness of FREDERICK WILLIAM than any other Power. The results will probably show that, with nations as with individuals, " honesty is the best policy," and that a manly and straight forward course, as it is more conducive to the honour, is also best calculated to promote the welfare and prosperity, of any State. We can, however; do without the assistance of Prus- The oonquest of the Crimea, the de struction of the Russian Fleets and Arsenal at Sebastopol will afford the best security against future aggression, far better than if the pretended co-operation of Germany had enabled FRANCIS JOSEPH and FREDERICK WILLIAM to claim better terms for their brother despot. LATEST NEWS. THE WAR. THE LANDING IN THE CRIMEA. VIENNA, MONDAY MORNING. The following is the sense of an official despatch from Omer Paella, dated Bucharest, Sept. 22 : CRIMEA, SEPT. 17. " The allied forces have landed to the north of Sebastopol. " The artillery and munitions of war have been disembarked in safety. " The Russians retired as the Allies advanced, and the French and English troops, full of confi dence, are advancing against Sebastopol. " The Tartar population does not conceal its sympathy with the expedition." MONDAY EVENING. According to a despatch received from Kronstadt of the 24th, the health of the troops in the Crimea was excellent. A general attack on Sebastopol was expected on tho 20th. PARIS, MONDAY. The following despatch appears in the Mon; tear cc VIENNA, SUNDAY EVENING " Omer Paella received at Bucharest, on the 22d, the following despatch, dated Old Fort, the I.7tb, and signed by Marshal St. Arnaud and Lord Raglan : " ' We beg leave to inform your Highness that we have disembarked successfully to the north of Sebastopol. " ' The enemy offered no opposition as we occu• pied our positions. " This circumstance has produced the most pro found impression on the Tartar population, who do not conceal their sympathy for our cause. " All our guns and materiel have been landed, and we march on Sebastopol with every confidence in the success of our grand enterprise.' " The following is another despatch : VIENNA, MONDAY, SEPT. 25. _ Advices from Kronstadt (Transylvania), of the 25th, confirm the successful landing of the Allies in the Crimea on the 14th. An engagement was expected on the 20th. The inhabitants of the Crimea willingly supply ho troops with provisions. The troops are confident of victory. Their health is good. A letter from Vienna says :—" The troops were landed with incredible rapidity, and at nine in the morning 15,000 men were already on the shore. The sappers, aided by detachments of infantry, cleared the beach of all the obstacles which the Russians had placed there, and began to repair the roads, which the Russians had everywhere destroyed. It was not yet noon when the ad vance guards put themselves in movement for Sebastopol by two different roads, that of Simfe ropol and that of Baltchi-Serai. At four in the afternoon, at the departure of the second advice boat, the landing was almost terminated. The Russians appear to occupy positions in the moun tainous grounds near Simferopol. The inhabitants in the village of the neighbourhood of Cape Baha arrived on the shore, and showed great astonish ment, but manifested no intentions of resistance." CONSTA_NTINOPLE. Our latest advices from Constantinople, state that the Persian ambassador officially informed Reschid Paella that Persia would maintain strict neutrality in the Oriental question. Lord Red cliff() was present at the conference. Several regi ments of cavalry are on their way from Gallipoli to Bourgas. Another misfortune has been added to those already experienced by the Kars army. 96 barrels of powder, sent by the Turkish Government, exploded near Erzeroum on the 25th ult. It seems that the caravan halted on that date at a small vil lage, about five or six hours' distance from Erze roum, to remain for the night. The powder barrels were laid not far from the goods of another caravan consisting of some hundreds of bales. In the night the powder exploded, the bales of goods were de stroyed, and 26 persons and 40 horses were killed. The next day the governor of Erzeroum made a fruitless inquiry into the cause of the explosion. - THE PR INCIPALITIES. A letter from Galatz, 16th, in the Lloyd of Vienna, says :—" The Turkish advanced posts have reached the Pruth. Galatz is placed in a state of defence, and to-morrow Mustapha, Paella is expected from Matchin. Fresh troops are con stantly arriving, who advance towards the Pruth. The Russians appear to be about to abandon Reni, where there aro only now left a few Cossacks and three battalions of infantry. The principal Rus sian forces in Bessarabia are now concentrating themselves at Ismail, under the command of Gen. Luders. Prince Gortschakoff is shortly expected at Ismail, from whence he will proceed to Odessa." The last accounts from Jassy, 17th, says the Lloyd of Vienna, announces the departure of Prince Gortschakoff from- Kalarasch, in Bessa rabia, for Bender. Before ho left the Prince received despatches from Odessa, in which Ge neral Krusenstern informed him of the danger, with which that town is threatened. It is thought that Prince Gortschakoff will continue his journey from Bender to Odessa. The Russian advanced posts on the right bank of the Pruth have orders to stop any one attempting to cross that river, and to send them to head-quarters. According to ac counts from Moldavia, the Austrian troops will on the 16th occupy the town of Fokschani. The Russians, who had retired from Galatz to Reni, have already established their quarters for the winter along the whole line of the Pruth. The cholera is making great ravages in the Russian camps in Bessarabia. It is not clear whether Moldavia and Wallachia are to be governed during the occupation by the Hospodars independently, or by those function aries under the direct control of Austria, but cer tain it is that his Majesty has appointed a kind of Council for Moldo-Wallachian affairs. The mem bers of this council are said to be Count Buol, Baron Bach, Baron Baumgartner, Field-Marshal Lieute nant von Kempen, the Chief of the Police ; and Count Grunne, the Chief of his Majesty's Central Military Chancellery. It is also related that the police of the Principalities, and consequently the press, will be under the direct superintendence of the Austrians. The Lloyd has advices of the 13th from Giur gevo, and of the 16th from Galatz. On the 12th the Arpad, coming from Orsova with three trans ports in tow, set a battalion of Austrian infantry on shore at Giurgevo, whore strong detachments of Turks are constructing their tete-du-pont above the quarantine. On the George's Island they are forming entrenchments, and have mounted two Paixhan's guns. The works are said to be very neatly executed and faced with fresh turf. In the course of the next week a reinforcement of 7,000 men for the Austrian garrison will arrive, and General Hess is expected about the same time. THE BLACK SEA. - - - to the last news Russian troops have been seen at Matchin near Ibraila. I mention this fact to you without sharing the opinion generally credited here, that Gen. Luders intends to march on Varna, where thefe is a very large force of allied troops." By Odessa letters of the 12th we learn that 14 ships were still off that port. The roofs of the houses nearest the water are being taken off. A new means of defence is to be employed. Vast quantities of coal have been collected at four places where landing could be effected, and, in case of need, they will be set on tare. The object of the Russians is to prevent the rapid advance of the allies, and to facilitate their own escape. COURT CIRCULAR. BALMORAL, SEPT. 24.

DEsTRUGIirIVIL FIRE IN MANCHUbTER.-About one o'clock on Sunday morning, a large five storey warehouse, belonging to Mr. Ed ward Butterworth, situate in Henry street, Great Ancoats-street, Manchester, was discovered to be on fire. It contained a large quantity of twine, and materials for the manufacture of cordage, which, being of a combustible nature, got ()Teat hold before the bri gade arrived. Fortunately, they were enabled to pre serve the surrounding property, but the warehouse and contents were destroyed, the damage amounting to not less than 4,0001., but covered by insurance. ROBBERY BY A RAILWAY GUARD.—At the Manchester police-court, on Monday, James Hollingworth, lately a guard in the service of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway Company, was charged with hav ing absconded, on the Ist of August, with two parcels, with which he had been entrusted, containing 361. He made no defence, and stands remanded for the produc tion of a necessary witness. SIGNOR TAIIBURINI.—The friends and admirers of Signor Tamburini—and who that have over hard or known him are not among the number—will be glad to hear that he is enjoying a true °awn cons dignitate, at Sevres, where he has for many years been the pro prietor of a most elegant villa, the artistic beauties of which are the result of his own taste and direction. It is picturesquely situated on the banks of the Seine, just below Bellevue, a name which would be more ap propriate to itself, since it commands a fine panoramic view of Paris and the adjacent country. The name, how ever, by which it is known in the neighbourhood is the Palais Tamburini, and a ♦ery appropri .te one, too. With him and Madame reside Signor Madame Gardoni, another daughter and son, and a goodly array of bloom ing grandchildren. On the occasion of the magnificent fetes last month, the Signor ♦ery handsomely gave his services to lead and enrich the choir at the celebration of high mass. THEATRB ROYAL, HULL—MR. WEBSTER AND MA DAME CELESTE.—This beautiful theatre, in Humber street, has, during the present week, been nightly the receptacle of numerously-attended audiences, assembled to witness the performances of these world-wide celebri ties, Mr. Benjamin Webster, lessee, and Madame Ce leste, directress, of the well-known Adelphi. On Mon day evening Madame Celeste appeared in Buckstone'e masterpiece, the drama of the The Green Bushes ; or a Hundred Years Ago ; herself performing the character of Miami, the huntress of the Mississippi, and as a ne cessary sequence, that of Madame St. Aubert also. This talented lady's acting throughout was marked with grace, ease, and dignity, and at the close of her per formances was summoned before the curtain amidst the loud plaudits of the house. Mrs. Raymond, a neat, lively little actress, was an efficient representative of Nelly O'Neil, the late Mrs. Fitzwilliam's celebrated cha racter ; and Mr. It. Boss an excellent Muster Grinnidge. After the drama, Mr. Benjamin Webster appeared as Captain Sans Soacie, and Madame Celeste as Helen de Montereau, in the amusing comedy of Flying Colours ; or, Crossing the Frontier. On Tuesday, and the two following evenings, Mr. Webster and Madame Celeste appeared in a round of favourite character, and they will make their last appearance this evening.—Hull Packet. ACCIDENT AT THE QUEEN'S THEATRE, GLASGOW.—On Saturday night last, while the performers in the Queen's Theatre were performing the Courier of Lyons for the first time, one of the company, named Beaumont Hughes, was severely wounded in the hand by the accidental dis- charge of a - pistol he had in his possession. The per formance was in consequence suddenly brought to a close for the evening.—North British Daily Mail. THE GAME SEASON.—It is acknowledged by all sports men that the game this season is most abundant. The coveys of partridges round this neighbourhood are ♦ery large, many having not less than from 15 to 30 each. On the Morfe lands, and around the extensive parishes of Worfield, Claverley, the friends of the trigger have incessant work ; the only drawback the past week has been from the excessive heat. —Shrewsbury Journal. MILL DESTROYED BY FIRB.—The cotton waste and rag mill of Mr. Edmund Butterworth, Ancoats, Man- chester, was destroyed by fire on Sunday morning, in ♦olving a loss of 5,0001., which is covered by insurances in the Defender-office. But for the strenuous exertions of Mr. Rose and a strong body of the fire brigade under his command, much of the surrounding property would have been destroyed ; fortunately they were able to save it with some little damage—more from the water than the fire. The origin of the fire is not known. NRW TRIALS IN THE SUPERIOR COURTS.—On and after the 24th October an important alteration will take place with respect to new trials in the superior courts. No new trial is to be granted by reason of the ruling of any judge that the stamp upon any document is sufficient, or that the document does not require a stamp. In every rule nisi for a new trial, or to enter a verdict or nonsuit the grounds upon which such rule is granted shall be shortly stated therein. This is a decided improvement, parties will know the grounds on which the rules are obtained, and the plaintiffs will have to confine them selves to the points set forth. In all cases of rules to alter a verdict or nonsuit, upon a point reserved at the trial, if the rule to show cause be refused or granted, and then discharged or made absolute, the party decided against may appeal. No appeal is to be allowed unless notice be given in writing within four days of the decision, or such further time as may be allowed. Notice of ap peal is to be a stay of execution, provided bail be given to pay the sum recovered and costs in like manner, as bail in Error, within eight days of the decision com plained of, or before execution is delivered to the sheriff. The Court of Appeal is to have power to adjudge the payment of costs, and to order restitution, and to have the same powers as the Court of Error. The Court of Error, the Exchequer Chamber, and the House of Lords a►re to he the Court of Appeal under the act, RUMOURED ATTACK ON VARNA BY THE RUSSIANS. The Cassel Gazette has the following strange letter from Bucharest of the 14th :—" Since yesterday the surprising news, which however requires confirmation, has been current that the Russians have not only not evacuated Galatz, but that the corps of General Luders, 60,000 strong, had crossed the Danube, and entered the Dobrudscha. Letters from Matchin • also say that that place had been occupied anew by the Russians. We are tempted to believe that the Russian army intends to march on Varna, whilst the Turkish army is encamped in Wal lachia, and whilst the allied army is operating in the Crimea. As regards Varna, however, it is to be remarked that there are in its neighbour hood two French divisions, and between 7,000 and 8,000 English and Turkish troops. There is then a very imposing corps of 30,000 men, which ren ders a coup de maim against Varna impossible."— Another letter from the same place, and of the same date, in the Press of Vienna, says :—" I am able to announce to you positively that General 'Anders has passed the Danube with large forces, and is advancing in the Do udsoh a . According THE BALTIC. COPENHAGEN, Sept. 25.—Sixty three deputies from all parts of Jutland arrived here to-day to present to the King a monster petition, with 17,000 signatures from Himmelbierg, against the consti tution. There has been strong blowing weather in the Baltic during the last four or five days. The Swedish packet steamer Nordstern was conse quently delayed on her passage. A letter received from an officer on board one of our large ships off Ledsund says that Sir Charles will probably' run up the Gulf again to look at Cronstadt and Swea borg—that is, if the state of the weather permits him to carry up his large ships in the midst of that dangerous navigation. Under every circum stance it may be safely affirmed that the respectable pens that have sent the Admiral home are utterly at fault. He will remain with all ships that are necessary to keep the Russian fleet safe at home, and to maintain the blockade until it be a bounden duty to withdraw. The state of health in the fleet is very good in deed, and the cholera has almost disappeared. Nearly all the officers are grumbling at the slow work in the Baltic, and are longing for the month of April, 1855. LEDSUND, Sept. 18.—The Vulture, with the mails and despatches, arrived from Dantzic yester day. She sailed on the 15th, and the day follow ing encountered a very severe gale, in which she lost b her foretopmast. On the 12th, the transport Nimrod, that struck upon a rock when entering this place, after having all her stores taken out of her with very trifling loss, was towed to Stockholm by the Penelope, to be docked and repaired. On the 13th, Captain Sullivan, in the Lightning, went, for the last time, up to Bomarsund, where he has since been engaged in making most careful surveys of thepassages and waters between Ledsund and that place. On the 14th, the Leopard, Admiral Martin, came From Bomarsund, and still remains here. The Ajax left for England, with the Sappers and Miners, on the 16th. On the 15th, the Cuckoo was sent to Stockholm, to arrange a sale of the surplus coals which have been brought out for the use of the fleet. The Locust was sent to-day to have them all landed at Faro. There are about 5,000 tons, and it will be a great loss to us, for only 12s. a ton is offered for them at Stockholm, and they cost us at least 355. The Wrangler, gun-boat, arrived ; she has had a case of cholera, and has now scarlet fever on board. We all agree that she is not the sort of boat wanted up here. She is too high out of the water, and much too long to turn quickly in the narrow channels she would be employed in. • On the 16th the Cumberland was towed out by the Basilisk, and, accompanied by the Ajax, sailed for home. A small Swedish steamer brought the Admiral some despatches from Stockholm. Two French frigates (the Algerine and Poursui vant), three line of battle ships (the Duguesclin, Trident, and Duperre), sailed for home, the Robert Small going in company. Yesterday, the 17th, theßreslau and Jemmappes (liners), and two steamers left for France. You will see by the above that our fleet will soon be left by itself ; all those that are left here sail for Nargen to-day (if the weather permits, but it looks very threatening,) there to join, and afterwards send home the almost helpless sailing ships. The steam fleet will then stay a few days at Baro Sound, and then come down the Baltic. We have no news, but I am very glad to be able to state that the whole of the fleet was never so healthy as it. is just now. We have no cholera, no diarrhoea, in fact " no nothing," except the single case of scarlet fever in the Wrangler. The French Rear-Admiral has returned home in the Duperre. SEPT. 18,12 o'clock.—l have just heard that the Vulture brought out most important despatches, even orders for the bombardment of Revel, but I cannot make sure of this news. I think it cannot he so, else the French ships which left yesterday and the day before would, I should think, be re called. The French Admiral, and Admirals Martin and Chads, have been with the Commander-in-Chief more than 2i hours this morning, so perhaps there may be some truth in what I hear, and it is from good authority, that " the order to bombard Revel has come out, but it is a question with the Admi rals if it would be safe to do it at such an advanced state of the season." The meeting among them to-day has delayed our sailing until to-morrow, when we go direct to Nargen, near Revel. Four o' clock.—l can hear nothing more, except that we go to Nargen for certain to-morrow, but nothing to substantiate the report of the bombard ment. We may, perhaps, be only going to try the new gun in the Wrangler. It was a total failure at Bomarsund. The Austerlitz and the Inflexible leave to-mor row for Kiel. SEPTEMBER 19.—The Alban returned late last night from taking the Russian wounded prisoners. She first went to Carpo, near Abo, but the autho rities had no instructions to receive the prisoners there, so they went on to Abo. When within about 14 miles of that place she ran upon a rock hard and fast. It was entirely the pilot's fault, who steered against the expostulation of Capt. Otter. As she was flying a flag of truce a Russian steamer came to her assistance, and did all that could be done, but without moving her. The next day two steamers came, and, after breaking several hawsers, were obliged to give up the task. During the next night a westerly wind caused the water to rise three feet, and, after throw ing over 17 tons of coal, the steamers had another tug at her in the morning, and she was floated. During this time the people of Abo were very kind to them, sending them a bullock, fruit, fish, eggs, cream, and vegetables, and also sent them a letter of thanks for the kindness which they had shown the Russian prisoners. The Vulture's men are to be put on board the Arrogant. The fleet is just getting under way for Nargen. Admiral Martin, in the Leopard, stays behind here with the Penelope, Alban, Vul ture, Locust, and Basilisk, and the Bulldog takes the mail. 12 o'clock.—l again open my letter for the third or fourth time to say that all the fleet, with the exception of those I mention above, went to sea this morning ; but we have been obliged to return, the weather became so thick. We shall now wait with our fires banked up, until it gets clearer, for Sir Charles is most anxious to be otf. RUSSIA. Accounts from St. Petersburg state that the troops concentrated ou the Wolga have received orders to march against the troops of Schamyl, in the Caucasus. The strength of this corps is esti mated at 40,000 men. The irregular troops of the Steppes of Jaroslaw and of the Don are already in march to replace this corps on the Wolga. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Sept. 23.—1 t is generally reported this evening that the Berlin Cabinet is now making every effort to bring about the re-assembly of the quadruple conferences. The object of this cannot, and, it may be safely affirmed, has not escaped the perspicacity of Lord Clarendon and M. Drouyn de Lhuys. The failure of the attempt may therefore be regarded as certain. England and France have matter more serious on hand at present than to trouble themselves with the side exertions of the Prussian Government to recover the position which it held when the protocol of April was signed. A letter from Berlin, of the 21st, says :—" The nominations of the Prince of Prussia as military governor of the federal fortress of Mentz, and of Gen. de Thumen as deputy-governor, are confirmed. The nomination of governor is merely an honorary charge. The Prince is to proceed in a few days with his son Frederick-William to Coblentz. After having been present, on the 30th, at the celebra tion of the Princess's birthday, he will go to Mentz to take possession of his charge, and will be back in Berlin about the middle of October." We have also received a letter from Breslau, from which we extract the following :—" Since Prussia has declared that, in consequence of the evacuation of the Principalities by Russia, there exists no casus belli against that power, there can not be any longer question of a military co-opera tion between Prussia and Austria, and, conse quently, the mission of the Austrian General de Mayerhoffer must be considered at an end. The general is to return to Vienna at the end of the week." CARLSRUHE, Sept. 22.—The Diet of Frankfort met yesterday. The whole sitting was taken up with receiving reports. The Committee on the affairs of the East will meet forthwith to ascertain what instructions have been given by the different Governments, in reply to the question submitted by M. Probesch in the name of Austria, The Cabinet of Vienna calls upon the Diet to accede at least to the proposal of a collective protectorate for the Principali ies, and the free navigation of the Danube. Prussia still hesitates. AUSTRIA. VIENNA., SEPT. 22.—Some of our local journals display an extraordinary share of want of judg ment. One of them attempted to prove, in its impression of yesterday evening, thai the landing of 58,000 troops of the allied forces at Eapatoris could not possibly have taken place on the 14th :Mt' , and to support this assertion, it cited, forsooth, e telegraphi c d es p a t c h f rom it s alta correspondent , To-day another absurdity was disseminated 11 the Presse and the Fremden Bladtt, to wit, the Russians hav e recrosse d th e D anu b e i n t o the /Nl' brudscha, and their outposts had been pushed 011 as far as Babadagh. The Lloyd reviews the Pre cious document in which the Berlin Cabinet makes known its opinions to the other German Powers, and declares that it would be a disgrace to the ere' pire if the Austrian Government were to listen to the sophisms of M. de Manteuffel. A letter from Vienna, in the Universal Gering° Gazette of Leipsic, says :—" Baron de Hess, Cony mander-in-Chief of the army, has immediatelf under him as commander-in-second General 'Cel l " ner de Kollanstein, head of the staff, and aide -de" camp to the Emperor. It is stated from a 14°1 source that in case the commander-in-chief shoul d have any scruples to execute a pressing measure on his own responsibility, this latter is authorised, should his views be identical with those of the said commander, to relieve him from such a The sponsibility in the name of the Emperor. ' l l importance gained by an army, the chief 0 which is provided with such powers, is ineal" culable. It cannot be doubted that the Empercl: in giving, in his quality of head to the atmy, au powers, has had in view the possibility of an nl' voluntary encounter with the Russians, which air cumstance proves once more how much it is l i n' tended here to lead to a definitive solution of th e question of the Danube and of all others connected with it." A letter from Frankfort, in a Leipsic journsit says It is rumoured that the difficulti es between the Cabinets of Vienna and Berlin has been removed, and that an understandinghas been come to. It would, however, be dange r ous to give way to this illusion. For the last inon e past negotiations concerning the completion of th treaty of April have been going me without any result, and it is impossible to say when an agrl ment will be come to. The love of peace, 'of wh ich the Emperor Nicholas is said to have given a fr esh proof, as we are assured by certain let ers fre ,,, e '; Berlin, appears to have exercised an influence °l these negotiations, which, if it has not imp eded them, certainly has not been favourable to t!)el l e It is clear that, for the last fortnight, not .a step has been made towards a solution, and int„ state of things we may despair of seeing the manic Diet occupy itself shortly with the quee ti 7 of the day." e s In spite of the news of the lauding of the in the Crimea, the Russians in this city °el:, their heads very high, and profess to be :of °P to nion that France and England " are 11 1 c° 1 Y0 0 make themselves ridiculous in the eyes or , 4 world." Fortunately, the Russians are very liable to be mistaken in their calculations. Ire, November they were firmly convinced that' should get possession of Constantinople, W`,7 , ... pretty evident from the following anecdor' ui4 ll ' ll ' which is from the first hand :—A ly General, who fell ill and recovered in Bueba - paid the physician handsomely for his attendance': and, in the excess of his gratitude, promis*;.l bring the wife of his iEsculapius " a load of ° l lO roses from Constantinople." The lady, tv 11 °.1 5 , ( 4 admirer of the Russians, declared that she d it ' e d, like the perfume in question, but would feel ()Wig a n to the gallant officer " if he would send hera barrel of caviare as soon as he got back to Wissi SWEDEN. STOCKHOLM, Sept. 15.—1 t is said the session i ° t f the States-General will terminate in a m9O l . is the custom for every Diet, before dispersiT to open for the King (in addition to the bacig!" . . two distinct credits, to meet any unforesu9n e'" o f gencies that may occur during the recess. On e m o these, called the great credit (usually about 4,00 0 2,;;;, — , francs), is only available in the case of war. other, the little credit (usually about 2,0p0, u , he francs), is applicable to the defence Qf kingdom and other important matters. It.is C 01 `; fidently affirmed that at a meeting of the iSec re ' Committee, held yesterday at the Palace, the 16 1 1 announced his intention to ask the Diet to angina" this latter credit to the sum of 5,000,000, on a°' count of existing circumstances. The ship of the line, the Charles XlV.*Johnt which has been converted into a screw, is gone t° cruise in the Baltic, after having remained sovero'_ i days at Stockhold, and been visited by their 3 14 " jesties. FRANCE. The Constitutionnel has the following on th e e note of yesterday in the tlloniteur, relative to instructions given by the Emperor of Aust;ia,..t° the commander-in chief of his troops in the Prin cipalities "The note of the Moniteur responds most opportunei to the natural preoccupations of public opinion. Various rumours, accredited by the language of some G.er° 3- 0 1 journals, led to the apprehension that the occupaWn the Danubian Principalities by the Austrian troops b ee s not preserve altogether the character which ba d oils primitively attributed to it. The s a tisfactory exPla na° t he i which the French G overnmen t gave yesterdayfi gu re" official journal, have come very opportunely to re4ia, fully men's minds as to the attitude of the Ati f str t he troops in the Danubian Principalities.
