The Commissioners of Northern Lighthouses hereby give notice, that with the view to a p3riaunent light being ultimately established in the same locality, a temporary lighthouse tower has been erected off the North End of the Island of Ii not, in Shetland, and thlt the light will he exhibited therefrom for the first time on the nigh 4 Wednesday; -pith October,' 1831; and every night there after, from the going away'of daylight in the evening till the return of daylight in the morning. The following is a specification of the Lighthouse, and the appearance of the light, by Mr. David Stevenson, en gineer to the Commissioners : The temporary lighthouse is erected on Muckle Flugga, being one of the group of rocks called the Burra Fiord Helms, which lie off the headland of Hermaness, being the northern extremity of the Island of Unst. The light house is in N. lat. 60 deg. 51 min. 20 sec., and W. long. 0 deg. 53 min. 3 sec. The small rock called the Out Stack, which is the most northern rock of the Shetland Isles, bears from the light house about E. by N. 2 N. by compass, and is distant about half a nautic mile. The North Unst Light will be known to mariners as a fixed light, of the natural colour. It is elevated about 165 feet above the level of high-water of ordinary spring tides, and may bo seen at the distance of about nineteen nautic miles, and at lesser distances according to the state of the atmosphere. The Comniissioners further give notice, that by order in council, dated th e 3 r d d ay o f J u l y last, the following tolls are authorised to be levied in respect of the said Light house ; viz. For every vessel belonging to the United Kingdom (the same not belonging to her Majesty, her heirs or successors, nor being navigated wholly in ballast), and for every fo reign vessel privileged to enter the ports of the United Kingdom upon paying the same duties of tonnage as are payable by British vessels which may pass or derive benefit from the light, the toll of two-sixteenths of a penny per ton of the burthen of every such vessel, for every time of passing or deriving benefit therefrom, if on a coasting voyage. For each time of passing or deriving benefit on an over sea voyage, one penny per ton for every such vessel. For every foreign vessel not navigated wholly in ballast, and not privileged in manner before specified, double the respective tolls above set forth. Which tolls are liable to the following abatements on payment :—for a coasting voyage, ten per cent. ; for an oversea voyage, twenty-five per cent. By order of the Board. (Signed) ALEX.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (Front the London iVew Price Current of this day.) SUGAR.—There is little improvement in the home trade demand for colonial, and although supplies have been less than for some time past, still rates are barely supported for inferior qualities, and better can be obtained at pre vious terms. Foreign is yet plentiful, and not beingmuch required, prices have been barely maintained. Demand has decreased for floating cargoes for all purposes, and and sellers are willing to accept previous valuations. REFINED.—A good home trade demand has been expe rienced for refined sugar, and supply having decreased, some advance has been obtained. Sales of brown lumps at 435, titters low to fine, 43s 6d to 48s 6d, double 49s to 50s, Hambro loaves 44s to 49s 6d, and double 503 to 51s. Of foreign refined several arrivals having taken place, still the market has been nearly cleared. MAURITIUS.--The excess in stock compared with this time last year is 2,900 tons. For good to fine yellow and grainy there are several buyers ; still previous terms are not exceeded. In inferior and brown rather more has been done yet there are sellers at former prices. Including parcels at auction transactions for the week ending yester day were 6,000 bags at the following terms :—low to mid brown at 25s to 278 6d, good to fine 28s to 30s, low to good yellow 30s 6d to 35, 6d, fine 36s to 37s 6d, low to fine grey 28s to 355, grainy, yellow, 35s to 40s 6d, white 41s to 42s Gd, and brown 29s to 34s per cwt. EAST INDlA.—Native Madras can be obtained at previ ous terms, still purchases have been on a small scale; brown at 24s to 27s 6d, and yellow 28s to 31s. In grocery, how ever, rather more has been done at 32s to 38s. Grainy yellow is wanted at 35s to 40s, and white 40s 6d. to 42s ; but few parcels are on offer. Stock is about the same as last year. The dulness in the market for Date Bengal con tinues. FOREIGN.—The market for duty paid has presented an inactive appearance all the week, some decline has taken place for brown and low ; but better sorts have supported previous terms. Of 1,390 hhds 180 tierces and 480 brls Cuba in public sale rather more than one-half found buyers, brown at 27s Gd to 31s, yellow 31s Gd to 375; 400 chests Havrenpah, yellow 34s to 335. COFFEE.—Native Ceylon is not cheaper, still less de mand exists, and supply is rather more plentiful. At auction 1,880 bags wore sold at 43s for good order, and damaged 42s Gd to 44s Gd. `TEA.—In the early part of :the' week there was a large demand, for cougou from the trade and speculators; prices also advanced fcl to id per lb. Prices now range for low to good ord at 101 d to 10id, rather blackish to blackish leaf lid to is 3d. (Ms.—There is now a quiet market for linseed oil, and rates are less firm, ruling at 33s to 33s 3d on the spot. Rape oil is less wanted, and there are sellers of pale at 46,, brown 43s 6d to 445. Palm sells'dowly at 44s to 46s for mid to tine quality. Only a moddate demand for cocoa nut, Cochin at 50s Gd to 51s, and Ceylon 49s to 50s. In olive many purchases have been made, and the market has a firm aspect,.Gallipoli realises 571. to 581. and other sorts sorts 52/. to 56. Seal is wanted, and rates are well kept up, pale selling at 411. lOs to 421. and other sorts 371. to 401. In cod several sales at 401. 10s to 411, Southern is wantedainl42/: io'43/..is paid. A large demand exists for sperm, and - 1041. to 1051: paid for good to fine. Teel seed and ground nut Oil sells slowly at 43s to 445. per cwt. The value of lard oil is 51s to 53s per cwt. • Ta.Lbow. , —.The St. Petersburg advice% having again ;iven intiination,of a larger quantity being sent forward that had been anticipated, has brought speculative parcels on the market, and prices have in consequence been again depressed ; Y. C. having sold as low as 64s on the spot and even rather under this price for the last three months. These parcels having been cleared off.

The streets are built iu parallel lines, from north to south, and intersected by others from east to west ; and the houses being of limestone have a substantial appear ance. The public buildings are fine. The library erected by the Emperor for the use of naval and military officers, is of Grecian architecture, and is elegantly fitted up inter nally. The books are principally confined to naval and military subjects, and the sciences eonnectod with them, history, and some light reading. The club-house is handsome externally and comfortable within ; it contains a large ball-room, which is its most striking feature, and billiard rooms, which appeared to be the great centres of attracti on ; but one looked in vain for reading rooms, filled with newspapers and journals, such as are found in the clubs of England. There are many good churches ; and a fine landing-place of stone, from the military harbour, approached on the side of the town beneath an architrave supported by high colunins. It also boasts an Italian opera-house, the first performance for the season at which took place during our visit; but we cannot say much for the singing; the company being third-rate, and the voice of the " prima donna" very much resembling, at times, a cracked trumpet. The house itself was badly fitted up. The eastern side of the town is so steep that the mast heads of the ships cannot be seen until one gets close to them. Very beautiful views are obtained from some parts of the place, and it is altogether agreeably situated. A. military band plays every Thursday evening in the public gardens, at which time the fashionables assemble iu groat numbers. As Sebastopol is held exclusively as a military and naval position, commerce does not exist. The only articles im ported by sea being those required for material of war, or as provisions for the inhabitants and garrison. On the eastern side of the military harbour, opposite to the town, is a line of buildings consisting of barracks, some storehouses, and a large naval hospital, which we inspected. The wards are good, but too much crowded ; many of the arrangements are bad, and the ventilation in some parts exceedingly defeCtive, the effluvia being most offensive. Bat perhaps this is permitted on hygean principles, seeing that the Russian is so accustomed to foul odours from his birth that the physicians may consider a return to a little artificial native air as beneficial after a sea voyage. Sebastopol is not the port of construction for ships of war ; they are all built at Nicholier, on the river Bug, as Petersburg is the bnildi ng - p l ace f or C ronstadt. But here all repairs are done, and stores and materials of war-in great quantity are kept in the naval arsenal. The works that have been accomplished in the little port appropriated to this department are immense. The quays are well and strongly, built of limestone with granite cop jugs under the sappriutendence of an English master mason. Along the eastern quay aro ten large stone buildings, for storehouses, then in course of construction, 5 of which were already finished. But all other worki sink into insignificance at Sebasto pol, before those projected and accomplished by Colonel Upton, under immense engineering difficulties. They con sist of a great fitting basin, into which open five dry docks, three at the end, and one at each side of the entrance canal. Au there is no tide, these docks are about the level of the sea, and the ships are floated into them by locks, of which there are three, having a rise of ten feet each. To supply the basin, and thence the canal, the water is brought eleven miles by a beautiful aqueduct of stone into which the Black Sea has been turned beyond Inkerman. This passes, at one part, through an excavated tunnel nine hundred feet long, which is constructed on arches in five or six other places. To form a great reservoir, atuisthus to insure a constant supply of water, an enormous dyke of stone, like those of the pools of Solomon, near Bethlehem, was built across a mountain gorge, but on a much m ore s t u p en d ous sca l e . Mr. Willi am Upton superintended the engineering depart ment, and the work was achieved with perfect success, proper sluices being constructed to prevent too great a pressure in case of unusually heavy rain. Sooa after all was finished, however, a terrific thunder a term arose ; the valley rapidly filled with water, and a groat land-slip from the side of the mountain took place, the sluices were thus blocked up, and the flood at last poured over the top, taking away tier after tier of stones, until there was left nothing of the work of years but a jumbled mass:of ruin. When we stood upon the remaining portion of this ma sonry, and remarked its extraordinary strength and soli dity, we could scarcely comprebend how the rushing of any amount of water could have produced such results. In order to make-sufficient space for the dock, the canal of which leads from tho southern extremity of the little port, it was necessary to cut away a portion of the moun tain, and on the top of the great perpendicular wall thus made now stands a massive pile of stone buildings, used as the sailors' winter barracks. In case of au enemypenetrating the dockyard port, these barracks might be held as a formidable position by men armed with the Minie rifle; and it has been suggested that a couple of line-of-battle ships in the basin, with their broadsides to the port, and commanding it, would also form a battery of great power. Thus, in an attack by sea alone on Sebastopol every inch of ground would have to be contested. A larger filter has been erected, from which pipes are carried to the quay, into which a stream has been turned from the aqueduct, and when a ship requires a supply of water, she or the tank barges have only to go alongside, a hose is attached to the pipe, put on board, and the process is accomplished with the greatest facility and expedition. No expense has been spared to render this naval arsenal perfect, and we doubt whether, in many respects, there is another in Europe so convenient, always supposing the works projected to have been carried out. The streets of Sebastopol, as may be expected, teem with soldiers and sailors. Indeed, no one unconnected with the services lives there, and all but Russians are dis couraged or forbidden to do so. The Jews were at one time ordered away from it entirely, but some few have been allowed to return. It was said that no' foreigners were permitted to remain there more than twenty-four hours ; but during a sojourn of ten days we met with no interference, although we visited, and curiously examined, all parts of the town, and everything worth seeing in it. the course of the year. About 13,000 men are employed in the works. Each pood cost the treasury four copecks or thereabouts, the expense of production being seldom greater than from six to ten copecks. Government sells this salt at SO-- copecks per pond, except the portion destined for the consumption of the peninsula, which only pays 15 copecks. Salt exported is charged with a duty of 5 copecks. (Higemeister on the Trade of the Black Sea, n. 130, Eng,. Trans.) Exclusive of salt and corn, the other principal articles of export are wine, honey (of an excellent quality), wax, morocco leather, bides, a considerable quantity of inferior wool, with lamb-skins, which are highly esteemed, &c. Silks and cottons, in the style of the Asiatics, form the basis of the import trade ; and thee are also imported woollen stuffs, wine, oil, dried fruits, tobacco, jewellery, drugs, and spices. The only manufacture worth notice is that of morocco leather. Principal towns :--Kertsch, Caffa, Balaklava, and Koslow, or Eupataria. Sebastopol, the finest harbour in the peninsula, is one of the stations of the Russian fleet. Baktchiserai was the capital under the Khans. Simpheropol is, however, the modern capital, not of the Crimea only, but of the entire Go vernment of Taurida. The population consists of Tartars, Russians, Greeks, Germans, Jews, Armenians, and gipsies. The va r i e ty o f different nations found in theOrimea, and the fact that each lives as in its own country, practising its peculiar customs and preserving its religious rites, is one of the remarkable circumstances that render the peninsu:a so curious to a stranger. • The number of Tartars has declined con• siderably, by emigration and otherwise, since the occu pation of the country by the Russians ; but they still form the nucleus and main body of the population. They consist, first, of Nogai Tartars, living in villages, who pique themselves on their pure Mongolian blood ; 2d, of Tartars of the steppe, of less pure descent ; and 3d, of those inhabiting . the south coast, a mixed breed, largely alloyed with Greek and Turkish blood, and despised by the others, who bestow on them the contemptuous de signation of Tut or renegade. They are all attached to the Mahommedan faith, and Simpheropol is the seat of one of the two muftis of the Russian Empire. The Tar tars are divided into the classes of nobles (moorzas), of whom there are 250 priests (mullahs), and peisants. A mullah is at the head of every parish, and nothing is undertaken without his consent. The peasants plough his land, sow and reap his corn, and carry it home ; arid it is seldom that the proprietor takes tithe of the priest. In summer the feet and legs of the peasantry are rare ; but in winter they are clothed after the Russian fashion. They are simple in their manners and dress ; and their sobriety, chastity, cleanliness, and hospitality have been highly eulogised, and probably exaggerated ; they live principally on the produce of their flocks and herds ; are wedded to routine practices ; and if they be not, as Pal las seems to have supposed, decidedly averse to labour, they, at all events, are but little disposed to be indus trious. The emigration that took place after the occu pation of the country by the Russians was owing quite as much to the efforts of the latter to convert the Tartars into husbandmen as to the excesses they committed (Reuilly, p. 176). In their diet they make great use of honey, and are much addicted to smoking. Every family has two or more copies of the Koran, which the children are taught to read ; but despite of this, and of the schools established in their villages, they are, for the most part, exceedingly ignorant. During the present century Government has exerted itself to improve the condition and to enlighten the minds of the inhabitants, and also to increase their num hers and improve their habits, by planting among them industrious colonists from Germany and elsewhere. The unhealthiness of the climate is the great obstacle to the progress of the latter.—PPOttasch. CRIMINAL COURT.--Sept. 20. OLD COURT. Jane Barrington, 2G, was indictod for the wilfa murder of her male infant. Mr. Ribton prosecuted ; Mr. Duncan was counsel for the defence. It appeared that the prisoner and her husband were in humble circumstances, and occupied one room in a house in Arrow-street, Southwark. The child in ques tion was about a fortnizht old at the time of its death, and it appeared that within five days of the prisoner's delivery she had left her bed, and was engaged in wash ing, and there appeared to be very little doubt that this premature exertion had excited her and affected her brain. On the sth of September she was in a very wild state, and she made use of several incoherent expressions relating► to her child, and she at length exclaimed that she bad done for it by giving it laudanum. The child appeared to be very ill, and upea its being taken to a surgeon named Rendell, he expressed an opinion that it was suffering from the administration of some narcotic poison, and it was removed to the workhouse, where it died two days afterwards. It appeared that the pri soner had admitted that she had purchased a penny worth of laudanum, and that she gave some to the child, but there was no trace of that ingredient in the stomach, and Mr. Rendell said, in cross-examination, that he should have thought the child had died of natural causes if he had not been aware of the previous circumstances of the case. • Mr. Duncan made a very feeling address to the jury on behalf of the prisoner, and he called Mr. Evans, the surgeon of the -parish, as a witness, and he stated, that even supposing laudanum had been administered to the child, he was opinion that it had entirely re covered from its effects, and that it died from natural causes. His lordship, upon this evidence, stopped the case, and the jury at once returned a verdict of not guilty. Jane Colbert, 33, was indicted for the manslaughter of William Colbert. Mr. Robinson presented ; Mr, Lilley was counse for the prisoner. The facts of this case will be fresh in the recollection of the public. The deceased was the husband of the prisoner, and it appeared that he was constantly in the habit of getting drunk and ill-using her. On the occa sion in question he had knocked her down and struck her several times, and in a sudden fury she seized a knife and threw it at him, and the blade entered his body, an,d pierced the lung and caused his death. The jury found the prisoner guilty, but strongly re commended her to mercy. She was sentenced to be imprisoned for one week. parish clerk, the sexton, and gravedigger, for opening the ground in the churchyard, and burying cholera sub jects therein, contrary to the provisions of the 15th a::d Nth of Victoria, chap. 58, as well as an order in Council, and by which act they are by law guilty of a misdemeanour. Mr. Bradley stated that for upwards of 12 months, indeed since the promulgation of the order in council, prohibiting the burial of bodies in the churchyard, him self and his family had been freed from the unpleasant smell caused by the exhalations from the burial-ground ; but. since the spread of the cholera the sexton recom menced opening the ground, and the consequence was, that close to the wall of his house the body of a young man who died from cholera was buried. Since this had been done, the unpleasant smell increased to such an extent that his family were afraid to open the back windows so as to admit athorough air, and the circum stance was altogether not only exceedingly disagreeable to himself and family, but likely seriously to affect their health. Mr. Elliott—ls this done by the order of the church wardens ? Mr. Bradley—l think not, sir. It is done by Brook, the sexton, merely for the purpose of gain, while I have no doubt he represents to the parish authorities that the graves opened are family graves. I shall be able to prove by witnesses that the grave opened for the inter ment, on the 4th instant, of the body of a young man who died of cholera, was not a family grave, but had merely been opened on the payment of a fee of five shil lings. Indeed Brook, the sexton, makes no secret of the matter, but says he will bury anybody for a fee of from one shilling upwards. Mr. Elliott—You may take your summons. VISIT TO SEBASTOPOL. We extract the following interesting account of a visit to Sebastofiol, 'from " Travels in the Baltic, Black Sea, and Crimea," by Charles Fl. Scott : The port of Sebastopol consists of a bey running in a south-easterly direction about four miles long, and a mile wide at the entrance, diminishing to 400 yards at the end, where the " Techeruaia Retchka," or Black River, empties itself. The average depth is about eight fathoms, the bot tom being composed of mud in the centre, and gravel at the sides. On the southern coast of this bay are the com mercial, military, and careening harbours; the quarantine harbour being outside the entrance ; a ll these taking a southerly direction and having deep water. The military harbour is the largest, being about a mile and-a-half long, by 400 yards wide, and is completely land locked on every side. Here it is that the Black Sea fleet is moored in the winter ; the largest ships being able to lie with all their stores on board close to the quays. The small harbour, which contains the naval arsenal and docks, is on the eastern side of the military harbour, near the en trance. The port is defended to the south by six principal batteries and fortresses, each mounting from 50 to 190 guns ; and the north by four, having from 18 to 120 pieces each ; and besides these there are many smaller batteries. The fortresses are built on the casemate principle, three of them having three tiers of guns, and a fourth two tiers. Fort St. Nicholas is the largest, and mounts about 190 guns; on carefully counting them, we made 186. By great interest we obtained permission to enter this fortress. It is built of white limestone ; a fine sound stone, which be comes hard, and is very durable, th e same material being used for all the other forts. Between every two casemates are furnaces for heating shot red hot. We measured the calibre of the guns, and found it to be eight inches, ca pable of throwing shells or 681 b, solid shot. Whether all the guns in the fortress were of the same size it is impossible to say ; but my belief is that most of the fortifications of Sebastopol are heavily armed. We entered Fort St. Nicholas through the elegantly - furnished apartments of the military commandant, situated at its south-western end. At the period of our visit there were certainly not more than 850 pieces of artillery defending the port towards the sea, and of these about 350 could be concentrated on a s hip entering the bay.* Other batteries, however, are said to have been sines built. We took some trouble to ascertain these facts by counting the guns of the various forts, not always an easy matter where any suspicion of our object might have subjected us to grave inconveniences. Sebas topol is admirably adanted by nature for a strong position towards the sea, and it will be seen from what we have stated above that this has been fully taken advantage of to render it one of the most formidable fortified places in that direction which could be imagined. We are well aware that the casemated fortresses are very badly constructed, and though, having an imposing exte rior, that the walls are filled in with rubble. The work was carried on under Russian engineers, whose object was to make as much money as possible out of it. They were, moreover, found to be defective in ventilation, to remedy which some alterations were subsequently made; but, ad mitting all their defects, they are still strong enough to in flict some amount of injury on an attacking fleet before their guns could be silo .cod. Awl wheu that is accom plished, supposing there are now :'5O pieces, there would, still remain 500 guns of large calibre, in strong open bat teries, half of them throwing shells and red-hot shot, inde pendent of mortars. This is a force of armament against which no fleets have been tried, not only with regard to the number of guns and weight of metal, but the nature of the projectiles; any single shell fired point blank and striking between wind and water, being sufficie n t to sink a ship. If Sebastopol can be so easily taken by the allied fleets alone, and without land forces, as some people appear to imagine, it would be very satisfactory to know what amount of resistance it is expected that Portsmouth could offer to an enemy with her 70 or 80 guns, not above five and-twenty of which are heavier than 32-pounders. We do not mean to assert that it is impossible to de stroy Sebastopol from the sea alone, but we believe that it could only be accomplished by an unnecessary sacrifice of life and ships with our present means, anti that it would be nothing short of madness to attempt it, unless we had a reserve fleet on the spot, sufficiently strong to insure the command of the Black Sea in case of failure7t In speaking of the means of defence at Sebastopol, we have left the Russian fleet out of the question. This, however, is not to be treated either with indifference or contempt; for, while we are ready to admit that, neither in the strength of the ships, in the quality of the sailors, nor in any other respect, can it be compared for au in stant to those of England and France; yet there can be no doubt, of the Russian seamen being well-trained in gunnery, nor of their being endowed with a kind of passive courage, which would lead them to stick to their work, when not called upon to exercise their seamanship, in which they are very deficient. There were in the military harbour of Sebastopol twelve line-of-battle ships, eight frigates, and seven corvett e s, comprising the Black Sea fleet, independent of steamers. We visited, amongst others, the Twelve Apostles, of 120 guns, and the first. lieutenant accompanied us over her. Sh was a remarkably fine-looking ship, in excellent order, and very neat in her fittings. One thing which instantly struck us was the absence of hammock-hooks, but we. learned that beds were luxuries which the Russian sailors never dream of, the decks forming their only resting-places. On descending to the shell-room we examined one of the shells, and found it fitted with the common fuse: Now, as at that time it was believed that the Russians possessed a percussion or concussion shell, superior to any in the world, we were anxious to ascertain whether this was really the case ; but, from the inquiries we made of the lieutenant, we are convinced that such a shell existed only in imagination ; that the common fuse was in use through out the service, and may be so to the present day. The ports of the ship were marked with lines at different angles, by which to facilitate the concentration of the guns. We thanked our eonductor for his politeness, and in doing so expressed our admiration of the ship. "Yes," said he, " she is worthy of your praises. She was built on the lines of your Queen, now in the Mediterranean, by a Russian architect, educated in one of the royal dockyards of England." There is the same peculation and corruption going on in the ship-building as in all other departments in Russia ; and at Sebastopol everything which proves defective in a ship is attributed to a destructive worm, about which the officials interested in doing so, relate tales almost as won derful as those of the great sea-serpent. When a ship's bottom becomes prematurely rotten, as unseasoned timber is of course out of the question, the worm is the cause of the mischief; but how this singular creature has managed to pass through the copper without leaving a hole no one attempts to explain. In the Baltic, where no worm exists, the destructive quality of the fresh water is equally great. The town of Sebastopol is situated on the point of land between the commercial and military harbours, which rises gradually from the water's edge to an elevation of two hundred feet. It is inure than a mile in length, and its greatest width is about three quarters of a mile, the streets entering the open steppe on the south. It was partly defended on the west, towards the land, by a loopholed wall, which had been pronounced by one of the first en gineers of Russia as perfectly useless, and plans for com pletely fortifying the place in that direction were said to have been made ; but whether the work has since been carried out we know not., though we have a deep convic tion that strong defences vs,ill be found to exist there by the time a besieging army arrives. These, however, being hurriedly raised, can neither be of sufficient magnitude nor strength to offer a serious resistance to a long-continued fire of heavy artillery ; and unless these fortifications are. on a most extensive scale, and embrace a very wide circuit, they may be commanded from so many points, that, attacked with heavy guns of long range, their speedy reduction becomes a matter of certainty. None of the sea batteries or forts are of the slightest ser vice for defence on the land side. Indeed, the great fort St. Nicholas has not a gun pointed in that direction; and such an armament would be perfectly useless if it existed, as that part of the hill on which the town stands rises behind it to a height of 200 feet. In fact, all the fortresses and batteries, both to the north and south of the great bay, are commanded by higher ground in the rear. The first and all-important consideration, in reference to an attack on Sebastopol by land, is to ascertain where WI army would find the most desirable place for disem barkation. Theodosia has been' named amongst other localities, and it has certainly a beautiful harbour and many other conveniences, but the distance from the scene of action is a serious drawback. The troops would have to march over about 130 miles of steppe, as it would be necessary to keep to the north o f the mountains, where their progress could be easily arrested. Should wet wea ther set in, this steppe would become in a very short time quite impracticable for heavy artillery and baggage, as there are no roads whatever, and our little experience of rain showed us how rapidly the country became converted into a state closely resembling an Irish beg. Yalta is another port where men and material might be safely landed, and where but little opposition could be of fered, but although united to Sebastopol by a good road, this is in many places cut out of the face of the perpendi cular rock, and could not only be defended by the enemy with facility, but a few hours' work would render it quite impassable. ' Between Yalta and Balaclava, on the southern coast, there is no available point ; but if the latter port could be taken, and the surrounding heights secured,, every requisite for advantageously carrying uu operations against Sebas topol would be at once obtaiued. Distant only about ten miles from that town, and connected with it by an excel lent road, Balaclava so i nfinitely surpasses all other places for the attainment of the object in view, that there cannot be two opinions on the importance of possessing it, and its admirable harbour wouldt be of incalculable value to the fleets. Nature has, however, made it so strong that if the Roe hians have fully availed themselves of the facilities for de fence, it might become a work of some difficulty to dis lodge them • but it is very doubtful whether th e y h ave had sufficient time to erect batteries which could hold out long against the force that could be brought to be ar on them. Supposing the whole of the batteries defending the hat bour to be destroyed, no ships could enter with safety until all the positious on the heights which surround and overhang it had been carried. The coast between Balaclava 'and Cape Chersonesus being abrupt and precipitous, furnishes no suitable locali ties for the reqpired purpose, but some of the bays on the northern boundary of the Chersonesean peninsula may possibly be found available. • ' Were the allied armies in possession of the Chersonesus, they would find plenty of water,•for, there are two good sources towards Balaclava, though independent of it. One of these has been carried by an aqueduct to Sebastopol, and sapplies the reservoir near the public gardens of that place. Destroying this aqueduct would be no service towards re ducing the town, as that from Juke -man would still re main, and the great fitting basin eoatains au immense quantity. Besides which there are wells and some small strgams •t the head of the military harbour, whence the place formerly drew its only, though not very plentiful supply. Another plan for attacking Sebastopol might be adopted * Mr. Oliphant says, " Nothing can be more formidable than Sebastopol from the seaward. Upon a future occasion we visited it in a steamer, and found that at one point we were commanded by 1,200 pieces of artillery." Now, if by this passage it is to be understood that 1,20') guns mounted on the fortresses and batteries of that place, and commanding the sea, can be concentrated on any one spot, it is manifestly a mistake. That point where the greatest number of pieces of artillery can be concentrated is probably about the centre of a line drawn from Cap 3 Constance to the eastern promon tory of the Quarantine Harbour, on which part of the guns of Fort Constantine the Quarantine Battery, Fort Alexander, and Fort St. Nicholas, with some from other batteries, may be brought to bear; but these cannot at the utmost amount to more than 350 pieces, even allowing that spot to be com manded by 100 guns of Fort Nicholas. j These remarks were written before a land attack on Sebastopol ryas Contemplated. THE CRIACIA. Crimea, the Chersonesus Taurica of the ancients, a peninsula of Russia in Europe, Government of Tauricla, between 44.28 deg. and 48 deg. N. lat., and 32.33 deg. and 36.22 deg. E. long. It is united on the north to the mainland by the Isthmus of Perekop, five miles in width, and has on its east the Sivache, or Putrid Sea, the Sea of Azoff, and the Straits of Yenicahi, by which it is separated from the Isle of Taman, being every where else surrounded by the Black Sea. It is estimated to contain about 15,000 square miles. Population un known. The Crimea is divided into two distinct parts, one lying north and the other south of the river Sal ghir, which flows from west to east, and is the only stream of any importance in the peninsula. The for mer consists almost entirely of vast plains, or steppes, destitute of trees, but covered with luxuriant pasture, except where they are interspersed with heaths, salt lakes, and marshes. The climate of this region is far from good, being cold and damp in winter, and oppres sively hot and very unhealthy in summer, particularly along the Putrid Sea. The aspect and climate of the other or south portion of the peninsula are entirely different. It presents a succession of lofty mountains, picturesque ravines, chasms, and the moat beautiful slopes and val leys. The mountains, formed of strata of calcareous rocks, stretch along the south coast from Caffa on the east to Balakiava on the west. The Tchadyadag, or tent mountain, the highest in the chain, rises to the height of about 5,110 ft. above the level of the sea, and several of the other summits attain to a considerable elevation. The climate of the valleys and of the slopes between the moun tains and the sea is said to be the most delicious that can / be imagined; and besides the common products, such as corn, flax, hemp, and tobacco, vines, olives, fig-trees, mulberry-trees, pomegranates, oranges, &c., flourish in the greatest profusion. Pallas, Dr. Clarke, and others, have given the most glowing descriptions of this inter esting region. According to Clarke, "If there exist a terrestrial paradise, it is to be found in the district intervening between Kutchukoy and Sudak, on the south coast of the Crimea. Protected by en circling alps, from every cold and blighting wind, and only open to those breezes which are wafted from the south, the inhabitants enjoy every advantage of climate and of situation. Continual streams of crystal water pour down from the mountains upon their gardens, where every species of fruit known in the rest of Europe, and many that are not, attain the highest perfection. Neither unwholesome exhalations, nor chilling winds, nor venomous insects, nor poisonous reptiles, nor hostile neighbours, infest their blessed ter ritory. The life of its inhabitants resembles that of the golden age. The soil, like a hotbed, rapidly puts forth such a variety of spontaneous produce that labour be comes merely an amusing exercise. Peace and plenty crown their board ; while the repose they so much ad mire is only interrupted by harmless thunder, reverberat ing on rocks above them, or by the murmur of the wave on the beach below." (Clarke, ii., p. 252, Bvo. ed.) But if this description be as faithful as it is eloquent, it will'not certainly apply to any other portion of the Crimea, not even to the famous Valley of Baidar. At certain seasons of the year the finest parts of the penin sula are infested with swarms of locusts, which frequently commit the most dreadful devastations, nothing escaping them, from the leaves of the forest to the herbs of th-3 plain. Tarantulas, centipedes, scorpions, and other venomous insects are also met with in most parts ; and even to the south of the mountains the air in autumn is not every Where salubrious, and malignant fevers are not uncommon. Owing to the thinness of the population, and their want of industry, the CriMea, which in antiquity was the granary of Athens, and whose natural fertility is no. wise diminished, does not produce a tenth. part of what it miht do. The steppe, or north portion, is in general more suitable for grazing than for tillage, and is depas tured by immense numbers of sheep, horses, and black cattle. Some of the rich Nogai Tartars are said to have as many as 50,000 sheep, and 1,000 horses ; and the peorer, classes have 100 of the former and ten of the latter. Thousands of cattle often belong to a single in dividual ; camels also are abundant. Breed of horses improved by crossing with Arabs. Sheep, mostly of the large-tailed species peculiar to the Kirghises. The buf falo is domesticated, and yields a rich milk ; and the culture of bees is a good deal attended to. Though ! they have renounced their migratory habits, the Tar tars, who constitute the bulk of the population, have little liking to' or skill in husbandry. Exclusive of milk and other animal food, they subsist chiefly ou millet, producing, however, in some years, as much as 150,000 chetwerts of wheat for exportation. The mountainous or south portion of the peninsula Ifurnishes a large quantity of indifferent wi nes , w i t h fl ax fruits, timber, honey and wax, &e. ; but the cultivation of corn is so little attended to that even in the best years ! its inhabitants have to import a large proportion of their supplies. The most important and valuable product of the Crimea is the salt derived from the salt lakes in the vicinity of Perekop, Caffa, Koslow, and Kertsoh. It is monopolised by the Government, and yields a con siderable revenue. The quantity exported from the lakes near Kertsch amounts to from 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 p on d s a year ; the lakes of Perekop are eve!, 1 more productive. At Koslow there is only a single lake. In 1833 'the different lakes of the Crimea pro duced the immense quantity of 15,065,000 poods (242,000 tons), of which 8,514,885 poet's were sold in 1 SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

RETURN HOME.—II 6 is said to be one of the curses of the " state" that it can never move without being wither noted or feted. It wou ld seem that with our Carmarthenshire neighbou rs th e ev il extends lower down in the scale social than royalty. There an M.P. can neither go up to town nor return from it without the occasion being noted by a "day," or at least an evening. Thus the return of the hon. member for Car marthenshire lays an embargo on the bells of St. Peter's Church and the wind power of a band that perambulates the town. The hon. m em b er f or the county (Mr. Jones, . of Pantglas) made the occasion of a goodly amount of rustic bustle and bonfire, aided by the copious libations of John Barleycorn. The inference that we draw from these premises is —not simply the extent of respect felt for the lion. members —though we dare say they are, as they merit to be, respected—but that the mode of ex pressing that respect shows that " time" is rather a plentiful article in Carmarchenshire, and that micro work would present less opportunity for displays, which, we confess, do not raise a population in our estimate, par taking as such " lionising" does so much of feudalism.— Swansea Herald. A man, named Pissembert, was executed on the 14th at Condom for murder. In order to be able to marry a second tim e , h e h a d t h e crue l ty d ur i ng a per i o d of six months to administer poison to his wife, day by day, until ho effected her death. When he arrived at the place of execution, Pissembert appeared hi a state of great excit emen t. `°Help, help ,he shouted; • they are going to murder me—l am innocent." On the acid . . I - fold he attempted to resist, but the three executioners who were present soon forced him on the sliding plank, a n d the next moment he had creased to live.--Gralignoni. TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAT. Owing to the meetings at Leicester and Manchester, the room was ♦ery thinly attended. 500 to 25 and 200. to 10 against Muscovite for the Cesarewitch, and 500 to 15 against the Nailer for the Derby, were the only bets laid. In the City quotations respecting the Cesarewitch, 13alrownie was put at 30 to 1 taken and offered. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.—Mary Jackson, a dexterous thief, was charged before the Lord Mayor with robbing a poor man,. gamed William Nurse, of his purse, eon.; taining Bs. 6d. From the evidence of the prosecutor it appeared that whilst walking in Mark-lane, ahout 9 o'clock the pre vious evening, the prisoner advanced towards hies, and said, "My dear, I want you," at the same time placing her arms round his body. He almost immediately felt his purse abstracted from his breeches pocket by the prisoner, who decamped. On his overtaking and seiz mg her, she became extremely indignant at the idea of being taxed with the robbery. A. policeman then came up, into whose custody she was consigned: John Wingrove, constable, 744, said that hearing the ory of " police" in 'the neighbourhood of Mark-lane he proceeded thither, and found the prosecutor and prisoner struggling together. After lodging the latter in the station-house, he returned to the spot where he appre hended her, and found the empty purse of the prosecutor. The prosecutor, in reply to the Lord Mayor, said that although he was quite confident that when the prisoner placed her arms round him his money was safe in the purse produced in his breeches pocket, yet by some un accountable sleight of hand she had contrived, after she was in custody, and most likely at the station-house, to slip the silver into the breast pocket of his coat, where he found it. The prisoner called her landlady, who gave her a famous character, saying that she got her living by ironing and washing. The Lord Mayor said he had some doubt whether a jury under all the circumstances would convict the pri soner were she sent for trial, although there could be no doubt of her guilt. She was then sentenced to 14 days' imprisonment and hard labour. LAMBETH. —John Thomas Davis appeared to an swer a charge of brutally assaulting his wife. Mr. Solomon stated that the defendant had been mar ried to the unfortunate woman for about three years, and his conduct towards her, particularly for the last 12 months, had been of so brutal a character that the poor -creature was reduced to a state of comparative im becility. The wife was here called into the witness-box. When offered the Testament to be sworn she refused to take hold of it as well as to be sworn, and stared vacantly about the court, and particularly at her brutal husband. Mr. Solomon said he was enabled to prove the offence by other witnesses, and cadet' George Briggs, who deposed that he resided within a door or two of the defendant, in Neate-street, Camber well, an•l had frequently heard Mrs. Davis call out when being ill-used. On Friday evening last, when passing the defendant's door, he saw him strike his wife with all his force on the face, and she instantly dropped on her knees. She got up and the defendant struck her again and knocked her down a second time. This (said the witness) was too much for me to bear, and I in stantly rushed at and seized the prisoner. Mr. Solomon—Were the blows struck by the de fendant severe blows ? Witness —Severe ! Yea, sir ; they were severe. Such as I should not like to have had. Mr. George Burnham, the father of the poor woman, said the defendant had been the greatest brute to his daughter that could be well imagined, and described several acts of brutality towards, and total neglect of, his wife. (The defendant here commenced grinning at the witness, and tearing his hair, arid his appearance at the time was more like a fiend than a human being.) The witness further stated that the defendant had made use of the most violent threats towards him, and had de clared he would shoot him. Defendant—You know I did challenge you to come out like a Dian, and fight me with pistols, but you had not the courage to du so. Mr. Gunn, the clerk—l think the less you say about manly courage the better, for a minute ago you were blubbering- like a booby boy. Mr. Elliott, oVerving the state of imbecility to which the unfortunate woman was reduced, suggested, as the better course, that the case should be adjourned for a week, and that in the interim the poor woman should be placed in some asylum or place of safety. Mr. Solomon and the father of Mrs. Davis acquiesced in the eugge4ion that fell from the bench, and the case was adjourned for a we•k. Mr. Bradley, a tradesman, in High-street, Newington, the back part of whose premises abut on the east side of the churchyard belonging to the old church, Newington, applied for a summons against one of the curates, the COUNTRY MARKETS.
