Tiler .prielit man Deutsch Aqua as liabla THE ADMIRALTY. Our ships in the Baltic are winging their way south wards, like a string of wild geese in search of a milder climate at the approach of winter. 'When we—first of the press—announced the approaching return of the Baltic fleet, we were rather uncivilly contradicted and reprimanded by some confiding brethren of the press. Time now shows that our information was but too cor rect. After the return was decided on there was a momentary flutter and hesitation in high quarters. The no-result of the mighty armament sent to the Baltic was too humiliating : could not something still be done ? The discussion led to--nil. After a momentary pause the route homeward was resumed. The sop of priority in the publication of the Admiralty despatches was administered just at the right moment. Some little .time ago a denunciation of the resultess campaign in the Baltic appeared in the columns of the Russian journal, so well put, and conclusively argued, that everybody wondered to see it there. On Saturday last, however, Cerberus was moll ified, and, with a whine of admiration, licked the hand be had threatened to bite. Such are the effects of "the compliments of the Secretary to the Admiralty." Who should bear the blame that the great expedition to the Baltic has turned out a coup mange 6 will appear when Parliament meets. It would be pre-judging the case to blame any one till the whole correspondence be tween Government and the admiral in command has been published, and until the Admiral or his friends " explain." At present it seems likely that the Admi ralty sent forth the Baltic fleet without the only useful weapon for the work in hand—without gunboats. To judge by its home doings, the Admiralty does not appear to be animated by the pacific spirit of the Pre mier. On the contrary the First Lord, debarred an opportunity - of taking part in his countrymen's feats of arms abroad, has been trying to get up a little private fight for the benefit of his bellicose propensities at home. Irritated by Major Beresford's speech at Castle Reding ham, the First Lord put himself into the hands of a friend and despatched a missive to the orator. Had this com mencement of the correspondence (which has not been given to the public) reached its address before the fumes of the post-praudial potations which iespired the oratory had evaporated, who knows what might have been the conse quence? Luckily the Dutch courage had gone off, and the speaker was willing to listen to reason. He, too, put him self into the hands of a friend, and the friend advised him to retract and apologise, which was done. The offended party, by the advice of his friend, professed himself satisfied with the withdrawal of the ugly word " coward," though most people are of opinion that other aspersions in the speech, which could not so easily have been withdrawn, were fully more offensive. In short, the disputants—like Prussia and Austria — have been contented to substitute a paper currency for the exchange of bullion. Different commentators make different remarks. Some insinuate that the quarrel was taken up by the First Lord to divert public attention from the story about the jobbing of the despatches. Others content themselves with wondering whether, at the first meeting of Council, the Premier will rebuke his warlike colleague for seeking to engage i u a n " nuueceb oary war,"— Doily News, The Colossus, 80, screw, Captain R. S. Robinson, left according to present orders on Wednesday, for the East India station, to reinforce the squadron there. Her crew are to be paid wages to-morrow, and the vessel is to try the measured mile, to try her engines. Her crew has been made up by a draft of 150 men from the Dauntless, 33, screw, Captain Ryder. _ _ The Cornwallis, 74, in No. 4 Dock, Devonport, has been suspended, and her two false keels taken omit ;. the poop has been taken off, and she will be cut down to he fitted with a screw. Every preparation is made to commence with the aperture to receive the propeller. The Centurion, 84 guns, in No. 5 Dock,- Devonport, has also been suspended, for the necessary alterations for her being fitted for the screw ; although nearly a now ship, symptoms of the rot have been met with in her frame. The Ajax, 60, screw steam-ship, Captain Warden, ar rived at Spithead yesterday morning from the Baltic. The Tirtar, 20, screw steam corvette, having had her masts put in at Woolwich, is to be navigated to Chatham. She is to be rigged and fitted for sea as soon as possible. The Miranda, 14, screw corvette, Captain Lyons, had steam up yesterday to try her engines. She will adjust compasses to-day, ready to go to Spithead. The Brisk, 14, screw steam-sloop, with the Eurydice, sailing corvette, in . tow, arrived yesterday morning from the White Sea, and anchored at Spithead. The Swallow, 9, screw sloop, Commander Craufurd, will be ready to go to Spithead the latter cud of the week ; she will swing, to test deviation of compasses, on : Wed.: nesday. • The Volcano, paddle-wheel steam floating . factory, has arrived at Woolwich on her return from the . Baltic, and has been brought alongside of the wharf wall to updergo some slight repairs preparatory to her proceeding to the Black Sea, under the) charge of her present commander, Second Master George Gilp n. The Cuckoo is being prepared for immediate and parti cular service. The Marlborough, indiaman,,sailed from Spithead last evening for Madras. APPOINTMENTS. Lieutenants—George Macintosh Balfour (1846), from the Ajax, gO, screw steam-ship, on the Baltic station, to the Hannibal, 01, screw steam-ship, at Sheerness. _Hon. Arthur Hay (1853), from' the Vestal, 26, on the North America and West Indies station, to the Ajax, vice Bal four. Master's-Assistant —John W. Harding, to the Indefati gable, 50, on the south-east of America station. Master—Samuel S. Flinn (1825), to be a retired com mander of 1846. It was inadvertently stated that acting assistant-surgeon Arthur Gordon had been appointed to the Cossack; it should have been Arthur M'Kenna. ARRIVAL OF THE CUMBERLAND FROM THE BALTIC. The -Cumberland, 70, Capt. George H. Seymour, arrived at the Great Nora yesterday morning from the Baltic. She will be towed into harbour today. Sue will be immedi ately taken into the fitting basin. Tho officers and ship's company will be transferred to the victualling stores pre pared for the reception of ships' crews returning from the Baltic, and the ship will be taken into dry dock to make good damage sustained by her having been in collision with a French man-of-war. ARRIVAL OF THE EURYDICE. Tho Eurydice, 26, Captain Erasmus Ommanney, was telegraphed to the Admiralty as having arrived in the Downs on Saturday from the White Sea.• BURSTING OF ONE OF LANCASTER'S 68-POUNDER GUNS. Intelligence has been received in the garrison at Wool wich of the bursting of one of Lancaster's 68-pounder guns with oval bore, while practising with it with the usual charge of powder and shells, at Shoeburyness, on Thursday morning. Fortunately no person was hurt, with the ex ception of a small portion of the skin being taken off the nose of one of the sergeants of the Royal Artillery. There were several narrow escapes, one of the pieces having passed between the logs of Sergeant Watson ; and a piece knocked over the time table, on which a clock was placed for counting the number of seconds of the flight of the shell, and where three persons were standing a minute before the explosion took place. A portion of the gun was thrown on the sand, and the other in tho fields. MEDICAL OFFICERS FOR. THE EAST. SHEERNESS, Oct. 16.—The Valorous, steam-frigate, left here on Saturday last, at 3.30 p.m., direct for the Medi terranean and Black Sea. The following medical officers have taken passage in her for Turkey, to join the army : —T. F. Loughe ad, M.D., E. P. Boyle, M.D., C. H. covey, M.D., A. Hawkins, M.D., A. Salter, M.D., W. J. Paliologus, M.D., Wm. Grant, M.D., Grange, M.D., Biddle, M.D., Erskine, M.D. Four others also proceeded,who did not give their names. The Mon key steam• tug vessel arrived hero from Woolwich a short time before the departure of the Valorous with patent floating lights for the use of the Black Sea fleet. Lieutenant Wil liam Alfred Smith, late of the Basilisk, in the Baltic, has taken up his commission, and joined this ship, vice Lieu tenant Dent, at Melville Hospital with small-pox. Lieu tenant Dent, Mr. Oemer, master, and ono seaman, are left behind in hospital. With this exception she takes all her old crew out with her. THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION. The officers for trial by courts martial, which are to take place on Tuesday (to•morrow), on board the Waterloo, hare arrived here, late of the Investigator, Resolute, and Assistance. Tho North Star and Talbot crews will bo occupied all this week in returning provisions hero. THE RUSSIAN PRISONERS. The Admiralty have decided on granting the Russian prisoners each 21.1b5. of good mixed rye bread (soft) for their daily use, decreasing a small quantity of cocoa and tea ; they will have the same supply of meat, soup, and other small stores as hereto ore. Tho prisoners will have the privilege of making their own bread ou shore, under proper inspection, the same to be baked and sent on board for their use daily. All the soldiers express the highest satisfaction at this arrangement. There are still about 200 prisoners on board the Benbow. Captain Spellman, who was left behind sick, in consequence of rupturing a blood vessel in his throat, has so far recovered as to be able to get about again. This officer and Mr. Back, a merchant master, late of the Carl, are the only two officers here now residing on shore on parole. Back, being a Russian- Finnish subject, has made an application to the proper au thorities to be sent to Lewes to join the Finnish officers there on parole. The Admiralty have decided that none of the masters of the ships detained for breaking the blockade can be allowed 7s. per day. Back, being a Rus sian subject, has this privilege granted to him, he being a lawful prisoner of war. DEATH OF CAPTAIN MARTIN, C.B. This gallant officer, who was appointed Captain Super intendent of Deptford victualling and dockyards in Janu ary, 1853, and whose urbanity of manner endeared him to all who had to serve under him, died at Nottingham on Sa turday. Captain Martin had been slightly indisposed for some time, owing to the great exertions he had to perform on the declaration of war with Russia, when so many transports were required to be supplied with stores at Deptford for transmission to the fleets in the Baltic and Black sea. According to " Bryne's Naval Biography," George Bohun Martin was third and youngest son of the late Mr. Henry Martin, of Colston Basset, Notts, a magis trate for the county, M.P. for Kinsale, and one of the Masters in Chancery, by Maria Elizabeth, daughter of Mr. Francis Edmunds, of Worsborough, Yorkshire. He was nephew of the late Sir George Martin; G.C.8., G.C.8.8., Admiral of the Fleet. This officer entered the Royal Naval College April 3. 1812, and embarked April 11, 1815, as midshipman on board the Impregnable, 93, Captain Samp son Rowley, bearing the flag of Sir Joilias Rowley, in the Mediterranean, where in the following October he removed to the Spartan, 38, Captain Phipps Ifornby. Quitting that ship in July, ISI6, he next, until the receipt of his first commission, dated March 17, 1821, served on the Channel, Mediterranean, and Cork stations, in the Mada gascar and Meander frigates, both commanded by Captain Sir J,ames Alexander Gordon ; Ganymede, 26, Captains William M'Culloch and Hon. Robert Cavendish Spencer; Wasp sloop, Captain Win. Woolridge ; Hyperion, 42, Cap tain Thomas Searle; Newcastle, 60, Captain Arthur Fan shawe ; Cadmus and Brisk sloops, each under the orders of Captain Sir J. Montagu ; Spencer, 74, flag-ship of Sir J. Rowley ; and acting-lieutenant of the Sappho, sloop, Cap. tain J. 11. Plurnridge. On the date of his official promo motion as above, Mr. Martin was nominated flag lieutenant in the Queen Charlotte, 100, to Admiral Sir J. H.Whitehed, commander-in -chief at Portsmouth, obtaining a second pro moted commission i 4 consequence, April 24, 1824 ; he as sumed command, Aprill7, 1627, of Musquito, 10, and re turning to the Mediterranean was afforded an opportunity of sharing, October 20 following, in the battle of Navarino. His conduct on that occasio procured him the hours a b ove indicated, C. 8., K.S.L n ~ K.S.A., and K.R.G on ., and was the cause of his being advanced (as soon as he served the necessary time !Is commander) to post rank, April 19, 1823. His next appointments were, April 17, 1833, and October 31, 1835, to the Vol&ge, 28, and Calofbags 120 MISCELLANEOUS. The Danish schooner Gefion,.P.B. Briechtsen, master, from Cardiff, with a cargo of the best quality Welsh coal; is alongside the Royal Albert, delivering into bor. Other cargoes of the same quality, to tha amount of 400 tons, are to be received. Most of these are,shipped in foreign bot toms, at a much lower rate of freight than could be taken upon charter by our own coasting vessels. The Gefion de livered a cargo of barley from Odense at Gloucester, and proceeded to Cardiff in ballast. ; SHEERNESS. Considerable improvements are about being. made at this yard for. the purposes of boiler making and marine-engine- making here. Glass roofed- buildings and glass-coVered stores are abriut being erected here on a very extensive scale. The Quadrangle Store Houses-yard is to be, covered in with glass, and large - work sheds ahead of the docks ire also to be erected for the convenience of shipwrights, ship-joiners, &c., working during the winter months. Gas is being laid onto the imitheries, millWrights' workshops, &c., to enable long hours to be worked during the winter, and everything here bespeaks going to work in right good earnest to pre pare our steam and sailing fleet to be all ready to leave again early in the forthcoming spring. . The Cossack has completed her coaling from the floating coal depot in. Salt Pari Reach. She will be inspected by the coium'ander-ii-chief to-day, preparatory-to her depar ture for the Slack Sea. The commander-in•chief returned from his leave of ab sence on Saturday last, and at three p.m. the comnioclore's broad pendant was streek - on board the Royal Albert, and the admiral's flag (blue at the fore) hoisted again on board the Waterloo. • WOOLWICH, OcT. 14. The members of the Old Naval Club of 1765 intend cele brating the day of the year on which the battle of Trafal gar took place, agreeably to long established usage, at the Thatched House Tavern, St. James's-street, ou -Saturday next, the 21st instant ; and it is expected that many mem bers of the club,' who were youths or young commissioned officers in the battle, will be present at this, the 49th anni versary, to meet a distinguished guest invited by the pre sident for the occasion. MILITARY. SUPPLIES FOR THE WOUNDED IN THE CRIMEA.—The following interesting and well-timed communication ap pears in the Dublin. News Letter : " Sir—Much anxiety being expressed by those having friends at the seat of war, in consequence of the statements that there . is no provision Made for the wounded,' I beg you will kindly insert, for the information of the public, the following list of articles that to my own knowledge have been despatched to Turkey, and must have arrived there long.since.—Your obedient servant, " JOLIPFZ TUFNELL.

MILITARY INSPECTIONS.—Major-General Eden, C. 8., in the course of his half-yearly inspection of the Kilkenny Military district, inspected the following stations during the week :—Oa Tuesday, Captain O'Gorman's company of the 90th Light Infantry at Maryborough ; same day, the depot battalion, consisting of the 41st, 47th, and 55th de pots, under the command of Colonel Townsend, at Tern plemore ; on Wednesday, the depot of the 13th Light In fantry, under Major Burslem, and Captain Grant's troop 16th Lancers, at Clonmel ; on Thursday, the depot of the 89th Regiment, under Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel Graham, at Waterford; on Friday, the garrison of Kilkenny, con sisting of the depot of the 17th Regiment, under Major Cole, Captain Smith's troop of tho 7th Dragoon Guards, and the demi-battery of artillery, under Lieutenant-Colonel Nedham. The inspection at our barracks commenced at 11 o'clock and ended at noon, after which the general visited the regimental schools, &c., and expressed himself perfectly pleased with the entire efficianey of the Interior economy of the depot and garrison generally.—Kilkozny Moderator. A battery of artillery will shortly arrive in Norwich. It will consist of 195 rat* and file, 183 horses, and six guns. Orders have been given to have the barracks ready for their reception.—Norfolk. Chronicle. In addition to the draughts of the Guards, the follow ing detachments will embark next week in the Robert L9we for the Crimea : —7th Fnsileers, 2 sergeants, and 80 men ; 19th Regiment, 2 sergeants and 80 men ; 23d Fusi leers, 2 sergeants and 100 men ; 33d Regiment, 2 sergeants and 100 men ; 88th, Ensigns Kenny and Preston, and about 80 men ; 95th, Lient. Probart, 2 sergeants, and 80 men. Major-General Hay, who succeeds Lieutenant-General Sutherland in the command at the Mauritius, is to sail on the 22d hat. Viscount Melville having accepted the command of the forces in North Britain, Major-General Allen Maclean, an old and meritorious Waterloo officer, succeeds to his lord ship's command in India. A circular has just been issued to commanding officers from the Horse Guards, to the effect that the Gezeral Commanding-in-Chief has decided that the distribution into service and depot troops, when employed in the field abroad, shall be as follows, viz.:— Four Service Troops :-26 sergeants, 4 trumpeters, 4 farriers, 1G corporals, 299 privates, and 300 horses. Two Depot Troops :-3 sergeants, 3 trumpeters, 2 farriers, 7 corporals, 123 privates, and 72 horses. Total, 31 sergeants, 7 trumpeters, 6 farriers, 23 corporals, 427 privates, and 372 horses. We regret to have to add to the list of deaths from cholera in the army in the Crimea the name of Lieut.-Colonel Beckwith, of the Ist Battalion Rifle Brigade. Colonel Beckwith had landed at the Crimea, but was compelled by indisposition to return to the ship. He somewhat rallied from the disease, and seemed likely to recover, but experi enced a relapse on the 23d, which terminated his life on the 24tb. He was interred on the shores.of the Crimea with military honours. THE MILITIA; PRESENTATION OF COLOURS TO THE SECOND SOMERSET MILITIA. The 2d Somerset Regiment of Militia being about to leave Bath, for garrison duty at Cork, the ceremony of presenting colours to it took place on Saturday. Lord Auckland, the Lord Bishop of Bath and Wells, Lord Port man, the lord-lieutenant of the county, the Hon. Miss Portman (by whom the colours were presented), the mayor and magistrates of the borough, and a large body of clergy, took part in the proceedings. THE LANCASHIRE MILITIA AND THE WAR.—In in teresting scene occurred this (Saturday) afternoon in Cam bridge Barrack-squaro, the quarters of the Lancashire militia, Col. Clinton, the commanding officer of the regi ment, calling the men out and telling them that their services might be 'valuable, under present cir cumstances, abroad, and asking them where they would prefer to go—whether Corfu, Malta, or any other place. The reply was spontaneous that they would prefer to go at once to the seat of war and to no other place ; although it was afterwards generally added that they wore ready to go to any place wherever their officers would lead them—an evidence of confidence in, and the good fooling they enter tain towards, their officers. They gave three hearty cheers for their colonel and officers, and then three for his lady. This latter demonstration of good feeling may well bo accounted for from the warm interest this lady has ever displayed in the welfare of the men, and which has very recently been exhibited in Mrs. Clifton's giving to the children of all the men in the regiment a quantity of winter clothing. It must ha gratifying to the country to know of the courageous disposition manifested by the Lancashire Regiment, and we fool sure that the Hampshire, Wilt shire, and Middlesex Regiment', also in this garrison, will display the same disposition when called upon. We be lieve that recruiting parties have gone out to-night from the Lancashire and Wiltshire Regiments to their respective counties to augment them from 600 to 900 men each. Portsmouth Times. DEPARTURE OF THE VIFREDO. MALTA, OCT. 10. Tho Vifrcdo, screw steam transport, which arrived from Portsmouth on the Gth, as already reported, with detach ments of the 79th and 88th, several military and commis sariat officers and employes, left again on the same day for the seat of war, followed on the morning of the Bth by the Sphynx, steam frigate, which arrived from Plymouth on the evening of the 7th with supernumeraries for the Black Sea fleet. The Stromboli and Salamander steam frigates arrived from England on the Bth, the former laden with cordage and other stores, the latter with shot and shells, for the fleet. The Stromboli left for the Black Sea on the racgAilla 9 tio 106 hr T 11,44 liYilz.figroX INA-boat axrived from Plymouth on the Bth, and left for the Black Sea on the 9th, followed on the 1001 by the Viper, which arrived from England and Lisb - on on the night of the . 9th. The Balbec, screw merchant steamer, arrived from Liverpool on the Bth, and left for Constantinople on the 9th, having on board Lieutenant Greville, Lieutenant Heneago; and the Hon. W. A. Amherit, of the Coldstream Guards ; Messrs. Carte, Taylor, Kellett; and Tittorden, of the Staff. Dr. Walsh went passenger by the Stromboli. The Ara bian screw steamer arrived from Alexandria on the Bth, and lett for Liverpool ou the 9th. The Army and Navy screw steamer arrived from Smyrna on the 9th, and loft for England on the 10th, fruit laden. EXTENSION OF THE EGYPTIAN RAILWAY TO SUEZ. We extract the following from a despatch re ceived via Marseilles in anticipation of the Over land Mail : The extension of the Egyptian Railway to Suez would materially reduce the cost of steam nav - gation in the Red Sea. At the present rates of freight the Peninsular and Oriental Company find it cheaper to convey their supply of coal on the backs of camels across the desert than to ship .it round the Cape. The extension of the Bombay Great Indian Peninsular Railway to the Ner budda coalfields is also a desideratum, but the progress of that line has been stopped by Lord Dalhousie, at the advice of Colonel Kennedy; late consulting engineer to the Government of India, in favour of a competing line got up by that officer, of which he is himself the manager, and of which two of his nephews are respectively engineer and secretary. The expenses of the preliminary sur eys of this new company are to be paid by the Court of Direc tors, while those of the Great Indian Peninsular Corn. pany have been paid by its shareholders. At Bombay the general opinion is that Colonel Kennedy's •acteme will ultimately fall to the ground. The engineering 'advisers of the local Government are strongly opposed ,to it, and it is evident to the re-eest tiro in railway en gineering that the growls on which the Colonel bases his scheme are entirely erroneous. He advises that the steepest gradient admissible on trunk lines should -be 1 in 2,000, the ruling gradient of the English Great Western being as steep as about 1 in 330. With such views, an ascent of the Ghauts is, of course, out of the question, and the Colonel thinks it worth while to go round by Surat and the Taptee-160 miles out of the direct line—to avoid them. This ignorant dread of the Ghauts is one of the greatest difficulties that railway engineers have had to contend with on this side of India. The Thull Ghaut ascent would be only five miles in length ; its cost only 47,0001. per mile ; its inclination the same as that of the Lickey incline on the Birmingham and Glocester Railroad ; its curves double the radius of those found to be unobjectionable at equal inclinations on the Somerring ; and, as regards the cost of working, the lo comotive and traffic manager of the Bombay 'Railway (taking into consideration the fact of the bulk of the traffic being downwards) offers to work the ire miles of the Ghaut ascent at the average cost of twice that dis tance (11 miles) of the other portion of the line ; econo mically, therefore, it would not be worth while to go even 10 miles round to avoid the Ghauts. As re gards the local accommodation it would afford or the facility of construction, the superiority of the direct line surveyed by the Great Indian Peninsular Com pany over Colonel Kennedy's roundabout line is decided and unquestionable. From Bombay to Surat Colonel Kennedy's line would run along the coast and have to compete with one of the cheapest lines of water-carriage in the world. The pro posed crossing of the arm of the sea dividing Salsette from the main land I believe to be economically imprac ticable, and thence to Surat tidal creeks running far inland are of frequent occurrence. From a few miles above Surat to Candeish the course of Colonel Kennedy's line would be through a rocky and almost uninhabited )ungle, the deadly' malaria of which is proverbial in Western India, and its course would be much obstructed by the frequent and terrible ravines which break down into the bed of the Taptee, and which are so well known to every sportsman who has shot along its banks. On the other hand, the course of the direct line effects an enormous saving in distance, and presents no engineering difficulties besides thoGhaut ascent; it traverses the rocky belt of country separating the productive plains and valleys of the interior from the Bombay coast, and blocking upthe lower portion of the Taptee and Nerbudda valleys, taps the great plains of the Godavery at the most eligible point. For 45 or 50 miles its course lies over these plains, which stretch thence without a break to the Madras coast. Leaving these plains, the line enters the valley of Candeish through a complete gap some miles wide—the Indegadreo range, without any considerable earthwork. Thence it follows the Circa, crosses the Taptee, and reaches Burhampore, the old capital of a province as fertile as Bengal, which, in the time of the Aloguls, is said to have yielded a revenue of 3,000,000 sterling. Thence it crosses, at Asseerghur, the water shed separating the Taptee and Nerbudda valleys. This country for a few miles is uneven, but it presents no engineering difficulties ; no tunnelling is necessary, and not much earthwork, and the gradients are unobjection able. It then enters the valley of the Nerbudda, which it taps close to the western extremity of the fertile plain that runs along its southern bank throughout Goondwana.--tlie 'country that supplies Malwa with wheat and Europe and America with white linseed, the straw of which (at present only used for burning) would be thus rendered available in quantities exceeding the former 'supply of hemp from Russia. The hills on each side of the valley abound in iron, and those on the southern side in coal. The latter has been proved in the furnaces of the Bombay steamers and factories to be of better quality than any hitherto imported from Wales or Scotland, and it crops out close to the line in beds of a thickness altogether unprecedented in any European or American coal-field. The working surveys and estimates of the Great India Peninsular Railway are now completed as far as Jub bulpore (I have lately had an opportunity of examin ing them), and they are now being extended to meet the Calcutta line at Mirzapore. A branch between 50 or 60 miles long would connect the line between Aesesrghur and Hossungabad with Indore, the capital of the rich State of Malwa ; and this branch might ultimately be extended to Rajpootana and Delhi. I have no personal predilections whatever in respect to any one concerned in either of these competing lines, and have no shares in either, but I am .well acquainted with the districts they traverse. I was formerly en gaged in examining the engineering capabilities and collecting their traffic statistics, with a view to the ex tension of railway communication between Bombay and the interior, and, in common with all those acquainted with the productive resources and the engineering ca pabilities of the Gungathuree (or plain of the Godavery), the valley of Candeish and Ellichpore, Gooudwana, and Malwa, I cannot but regard the introduetion of the principle of competing lines, and the consequent delay of the direct Bombay and Mirzapore line by the Thull Chalet and the Nerbudda coalfields, as the greatest blow to the progress of Western India that has been struck since the subjection of the Bombay Government (even in matters of the minutest detail), to the distant authority and often petty and jealous interference of the Supreme Government of India. TBE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL, The telegraphic despatches which reached us yester day are chiefly from Russian sources, communicated at Vienna, and they do not add anything of importance to what was already known. The positions ascribed to the allied armies are precisely those which we have already determined by inference, between the slope of the mountains which skirt the port of Balaklava and the coast immediately south of Sebastopol; and, we may add, that the whole coast or undercliff from Balaklava to Aloushta must be in our power ; for it is highly im probable that any Russian detachment should have been left in that narrow tract of country between the Yaila mountains and the sea, where it would be separated from the main body of the army. Even supposing that ten days have been consumed in the construction of the siege batteries before they open their fire on the place, that period is by no means long. Two siege trains of heavy guns, said to amount in all to 140 pieces, are to be landed from the transports which brought them from Woolwich and Toulon, conveyed for a distance of six or seven miles over a chain of hills, and placed in position. The works required for the erection of such batteries and for the proteetion of the troops must be considerable, even if the dry and rocky nature of the soil does not altogether obstruct the excavation of regular approaches and covered ways. In that case, which is the more pro bable alternative, the engineers will have to rely, as they did at Bomarsund, on artificial materials, such as sacks of earth, gabions, and fascincs, all of which have to bo transported from the ships. If our readers will recall to mind the number of days spent at Bomarsund in these preliminary ope rations, and the amount of preparation required before three small batteries of three or four guns each could be opened on the forts there, although those operations were conducted with great spirit and vigour, they will readily perceive that such an enterprise as the siege and bombardment of Sebastopol is not to be begun iu a couple of days. There is, however, every reason to be lieve that these measures are proceeding rapidly and successfully, and it deserves particular notice that we have heard nothing of any attempt on tho part of the enemy to interrupt them. One Russian column made its appearance in the direction of General Cathcart's division, but it retired without coming to blows ; and it seems clear that the breaching batteries may be so placed as to destroy the farts of the town without being exposed to their fire in return. The fire upon the Quarantine Battery, already reported to have commenced en the 4th inst., is now stated to have been from some of the steamers, and it will very likely turn out to be no more than a trial of the range of some of the new guns against that fort. While the forces of the Western Powers by land and by sea are concentrated on this most important under. taking, we should learn with great satisfaction that Omer Pasha had commenced the movement which has been long talked of upon Bessarabia. The Tur- IlLieh army of the Danube which conOts of nearly 80,000 men, under a leader in whom they have justly the greatest confidence, has now remained inactive since the combat at Giurgevo, except that a gradual advance has been made along the whole line of the Principalities. We know with certainty that the Russian forces lately opposed to Omer Pasha,have; been reduced, for some of them had arrived before the battle of the Alma by forced marches in the Crimea ; and more of these troops are probably hurrying to the assist ance of General Oaten-Sacken, who is said to have the chief command in the northern portion of the Peninsula. It therefore becomes of great moment to the armies operating against Sebastopol that the Turkish forces should attempt a diversion, in order to prevent the con centration of the Russian armies, and this may be effected either by entering Bessarabia or by throwing a Turkish expedition on some other part of the coast. The former of these plans would be at once the easiest and most effective, and it would have the additional advantage of bringing matters to a crisis between Austria and Russia, as well as between Austria and the German States. In the pre sent position of those two empires, neither of them will attack the other, but both of them are so very near the brink of war that the slightest incident would probably be followed by declared hostilities. Omer Pasha operating on the frontier of Bessarabia would practically have the Austrian army to support him, for Austria has declared that she will in no case suffer Russian troops to re-cross the Pruth, even to avenge an attack upon themselves. He has, therefore, every inducement to advance with confidence. No Turkish military commander or states man ever made war against Russia under circumstances equally favourable, and the more extensive these com bined operations of the allies may become, the more cer tain will be their result.—Timcs. TILE KING OF DENMARK AND HIS , • MINISTERS. . • The struggle .s'sween the King of Denmark and his people has reached an artsi.oue csisis. The King has refused to recognise the constitutional veto of the repre sentatives of te people upon his aPpointment of bad ministers ; and the representatives of the people have resolved to impeach the Ministers who have instigated their Sovereign to such an unconstitutional resolve, and have been his instruments in carrying it into effect. At their last sitting, they voted by a majority of 80 to 6 the appointment of a committee of 'nine to draw up the articles of impeachment. The Daises are naturally loyal ; under many provocations they have up to the last moment confined their attacks to Ministers ; not a whis per was heard against the King. His unwise conduct, however, appears to be'producing a change in this respect. Within the last week or two unpleasant ebullitions of popular feeling, directed against the King personally, have been witnessed. Nothing, however,, of this has yet found its way into the Representative Assembly. Every step taken there has been characterised by irre proachable legality and decorum. It is well for the Danes that this contest has been post poned until the mad ambition of the Czar brought France and England into the field in arms. Their present dy nasty is regarded by the Czar as part of his own family ; their country as an inheritance which must one day fall to him or his successors. It is not probable that he would have ventured upon an armed interference be tween them and their King, even had he not been other wise engaged. But had the season of negociations and protocols not been passed, he would assuredly have set the whole of European diplomacy upon them, which might have been still more detrimental. Again, the Prussian Government has been taken with the crotchet of making itself a maritime power, and might have grasped at an opportunity of resuscitating discord be tween the Danish and German populations of Denmark. As affairs now stand, the Danes have a prospect of being left to settle their domestic controversies without foreign interference. The whole civilised world has an interest in the preservation of the independence of Denmark. The Danes wish to be governed by a Dane, and it would therefore be the height of injustice to allow them to be absorbed into any German state. Again, the amal gamation of all the Scandinavian states into one mon archy, which some have dreamed of, might have an un favourable influence on the free navigation of the Baltic. It is nut desirable that both sides of the nar row entrance into that sea should be in the possession of the same Power. But the preservation of the inde pendence of Denmark is incompatible with any foreign interference in its domestic affairs. If the great Powers of Europe were to take upon them to dictate to Den mark by what institutions it is to be governed, they would find the exercise of this wardship the source of innumerable jealousies and broils among themselves, and might be tempted to wink at the extinction of the state, in order to remove the apple of discord from amongst them. Whichever party conquer in the present intestine strife—whether the people succeed in asserting their freedom, or the monarch in trampling it down—there is one question with which the new Government must be prepared to grapple—that of the Sound Dues. The ex action of a tribute imposel in a state of society which has long ceased to exist will not be much longer en dured by other nations. —Daily Ness. OPENING OF TRADE WITH JAPAN: (From the Washington Union of Sept. 23.) The followieg interesting information has been received from Commodore M. C. Perry, commanding the United States' naval forces in the East India, China, and Japan seas, dated— " United States steam-frigate Powhattan, Harbour of Hakodadi, Island of Jesso, Japan, May 30. " I have examined the ports of Simoda and Hakodadi, which are to be oponed to the vessels of the United States, and ana happy to inform the department that with respect to geographical position, convenience of ingress and egress and commodiousness for all the purposes required, they can not be surpassed. This is ono of the safest and most con venient harbours I have ever seen for vessels of all classes, and it is sufficiently capacious to hold half the navies of the world. "The authorities and people of the two towns and their vicinities leave manifested much kindness and attention. The ships have been promptly supplied, at reasonable prices, with wood, water, and such other articles as the country could furnish. The singularabstemiousness of the Japanese from animal food has never made it necessary for them to rear an d fatten animals for the market, and hence the scarcity of that aliment so necessary to the people of the western nations. It is quite probable, however, that they will hereafter be better prepared to meet the demands of the vessels visiting the two ports. Poultry and fish, and, at the proper seasons, fruit and vegetables, may be obtained in reasonable quantities, and one or two ships could always be provided with a sufficiency for their wants. " At both places the officers and those of the crews who have been permitted to leave the ships go freely about in town and country, and on fishing and shooting excursions, visiting the shops, the temples, and other places of interest, without the slightest hindrance or molestation, and aro everywhere treated with kindness and respect, and espe cially by the country people. But ono instance has oc curred of annoyance to any one, and-this was at Simoda; and, on its being represented to me, I demanded and re ceived an apology from th e p re f ec t, who disavowed the acts of the officers who committed the offence. " According to arrangement, I am to meet one or more of the Imperial Commissioners at Simoda on the 15th of next month (June), to settle various matters connected with a proper understanding of the treaty ; after this is accomplished, I shall return to Hong Kong by way of Oho Sims Loo Choo, and the ports of Ningpo, Foochow, and Amoy, iu China. The officers of my command have con structed several valuable charts of the harbours and coasts of Japan, and our collections of specimens of natural his tory and of drawings, sketches, &c. is rapidly increasing. " One of the vessels in the squadron is now engaged in making a reconnaissance of Volcano Bay, a convenient anchorage, about 70 miles from this pert. " Until this time I have not had it in my power to in stitute in a thorough wanner the researches and inquiries which the Department has ordered in its instructions of October 26, 1852, May 16, 1853, and June 11, 1854, with respect to the fate of our fellow-countrymen, supposed either to have been lost at sea or to be still alive and held in captivity in Formosa or the islands of Japan. " The authorities here have furnished answers to my several inquiries upon the subject, herewith enclosed, and I propose to send the Macedonian, accompanied by the Southampton, to Formosa, there to prosecute every pos. Bible resoareh, and at the same time to examine the coal region of that island. As evidence of the good understanding subsisting, as well at this place as at Kanagawa and Simoda, I may remark that the prefect, governor, mayor, and other per sons of rank visited this ship by invitation last evening, and were entertained by me at a formal supper. " With great respect, I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, "31. C. PERRY. " Commander. in -Chief, - United States' Naval Forces, East India, China, and Japan seas. "Hon. J. C. Dobbin, Secretary of the Navy, Washington." The Utica (United States) Herald has been furnished with the following copy of the letter of the Japanese authorities to Commodore Perry on his return to the islands last winter : " The return of your Excellency as ambassador from the United States to this empire has been expected, accord ing to the letter of his Majesty the President, which , letter your Excellency delivered last year to his Majesty the Emperor of Japan. It is quite impossible to give satis factory answers at once to all the proposals of your Go vernment, since these points are most positively forbidden by the laws of our Imperial House • bet for us to con tinue bigotedly attached to the ancient laws seems to mis understand the spirit of the age, and we wish rather to conform to what necessity requites.

We have been favoured with the following report of a meeting of the Sparkenhoe Farmers' l)oisterou Club.and ti Afterxcin exciting meeting close of the meetings, a dinner was held, to which the wives' a nd dau g hters o f e the farmers were invited, and a number of other ladies attended. In proposing a toast--" The Ladies," the hon. gentleman committed a flagrant breach of gal lantry, by snaking a most unprovoked attack upon the ladies, which was warmly resented, and for which even an apology—was inadequate to wipe away the stain. Our readers shall judge for themselves whether the dis approbation exhibited was not well merited ;," Sed nemo inortalium omnibus koris sapit." The members of this the most prosperous agricultural society in the county have this week held their annual exhibition at Ashby•de-la•Zouch, the ladies and gentle men dining together. Among those present were the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, the Earl and Countess Howe, Lady Emily Curzon, C. R. Colville, Esq., M.P., and Mrs. Colville, the Hon. Miss Russell, the Earl of Chesterfield, Admiral and Mrs. Arbuthnot, Major and Mrs. Wollaston, &c., &c. After the Chairman had, in an appropriate speech proposed the usual loyal toasts, he referred in the most enthusiastic manner to the glorious achievements of the British and French. The Duke of Beaufort responded on behalf of the army, and Admiral Arbuthnot for the Navy. Earl Howe and several other gentilel'sriohea'- ,7 addressed the meeting, , in responding to various toasts. • : . 4 The CnAriattor next proposed the health o f a constant , 1 able, honest, and warm supporter of the agricultural in terest, Mr. Colvile, the member for South Derhyrshir e . He had not given the toast earlier in the evening, owing •4 to Mr. Colvile's own modesty, he wishing him not to introduce the toast at. all. (Three times three, and one more for the harriers.) Mr. CorviLE said he returned them his most sincere thanks. The Chairman had attributed to him a good quality, which he never knew till to-day that he pos sessed, namely, extreme modesty. (A laugh.) Mr. COLVILE rose and said—A toast has been en trusted to my feeble hands, which I consider—and I ' have no doubt you will, when you hear it—by far the most important one that will be offered to your notice this evening. It is no less than the heall of the ladies —(loud cheering)—and especially those ladies who have honoured us with their presence to-day. (Renewed cheering.) Heartily agreeing with the remarks that have fallen from some of the previous speakers, I also join with them in saying how extremely delighted lam in swing them here present. It is certainly a new feature in agricultural meetings, and one which, I trust, as it has answered so successfully, will be persevered in. If you will allow me to say, I think thar one of the greatest failings of our age, in relation to agricultural affairs, is this—that the farmers' wives are too proud for their business. (No, no, hisses, and commotion.) The CHAIRMAN—Fair play, gentlemen, fair play. Mr. CoLvILE—It always gives me pleasure—(cries of " No, no,".clown, down")—it always give me pleasure, when I see so many gallant bachelors, with their future wives, taking part in these meetings. Of this lam sure, that everything I may say to-night will, from their mouths, meet with due correction. It is, therefore, that I have observed, with the greatest pleasure; so many fair faces around me, and see them taking an interest in agricultural affairs ; for, depend upon it,' if you in tend to make a good dairy of cheese, you have not much time to play on the pianoforte. (This sentence was the signal for an outburst of groans, hisses, and other marks of disapprobation, mingled with cries of "Down," " We. won't hear you, " " Shame , " "Enough," &e. The disturbance was only quelled by a farmer getting up and calling upon them as farmers and Englishmen, who loved fair play, to hear every man out.) . The CHAIRMAN--Fair play, gentlemen, is the charac teristic of the British subject ; and you can answer any thing that may be said, .N r. COLVILE—I have no intention to say anything to hurt your feelings. (X. Voice—" Retract what you have said, then, like a man.") I was going to say— (groans)—it gave me great pleasure to see so excellent a show—(oh, oh)—of poultry here to-day. (Here one of the fanners imitated the cackling of a goose.) When I look down the list, I see that a majority of those pens were exhibited by ladies, and I am sure that is a symp- . tom of the very deep interest they take in agriculture. I only hope that all of you, when you go home, will allow the ladies to enjoy those prizes they have so justly won here to-day. (A cry of "Down! what do you think of that for a tnemberot Parliament ?" &e.) But, gentlemen, I think, having invited the ladies to join us at this meet ing, we are doing little to amuse them while we exhibit but cows and pigs for their edification. How much you wou:d improve yourshow if you would add one thing more. I find a prize is given to the labourer who has the great est number of children ; how much better it would be if these babies could be exhibited ! (Hisses and groans.) How different is the condition of the farmers now to what it was ! Their greatest difficulty now is to find places in which to put the corn they have grown. (Cry of " Down.") I think that there is no amusement and no employment in which Englishmen can be engaged which affords a.greater variety of pleasure than that of agricul ture. Having made these few remarks, I will now give the health of the "Ladies," and join with it the wife of our excellent president, Major Wollaston. (Mingled cheers for the ladies and groans for the speaker.) Mr. CemrioN, of Sharnford, a tenant farmer, and one of the committee, rose and said—Our excellent chairman said if we would! hear the last speaker out, he would give us a chance of replying. Before we drink the health ' of the ladies, allow me to say a few words. (Great con fusion took place, caused by the conflict of opinion as to whether the company should at once drink to the ladies; or, before doing so, hear remarks in answer to Mr. Col vile. The toast was drunk ; and during thu confusion that prevailed, the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, and nearly all the ladies present, with many of the gentle men, left the tent.) Mr. CAMPION resumed—We have been told by such men as the last speaker, that one of the best things the farmer can do, to improve themselves and the landlords, is to educate themselves; and I do think the farmers' wives are capable of attending to the duties of their sta tion, and that they are not the less likely to attend to their duties if they are educated. (Cheers.) I regret ex ceedingly that a sarcasm and a slur should be thrown on the education which they receive. (Cheers, and a voice, " A tenant farmer's wife has as much right to play on a piano as Mrs. Colvile has.) Mr. SWINNERTON said—Before any further proceed ings take place, it is the wish of the committee to call into consideration the language used by a certain gen tleman this evening, and I move that one be summoned. (Hear, hear, and No.) Mr. J. M. BAKER—I beg to second the motion. A gentleman, whose name did not reach us, said he dare say Mr. Colvile did not intend to say anything that could be in the least insulting, but lie only spoke play fully. (A. Voice. "It won't do;" and another, " Three cheers fur the farmer's wives ;" which was re sponded to most enthusiastically.) The CISAIItMAN—It is in the power of the committee to do anything they please, but let me ask them to stop it before they come to any decision. lam convinced in my own mind that Mr. Colvile did not mean to insult any one. He may have said two or three foolish things, and I admit he did wrong—(cheers) - but do reflect over it, gentlemen, and do not come to any decision until to morrow morning. Lord iIOWE said— Will you pardon your old presi dent _• . _ or one moment--(loud Cheers)—if he does entreat you that this matter may be allowed to pass over ? It has occurred most unfortunately, and I would have given 2001. myself if I could have prevented it taking place. Nobody knows Mr. Colvile more than I do, and I assure you a more kind-hearted, cordial, well-meaning fellow never existed. (Hear, hear.) H e h a s made a mistake and a most unfortunate one, I have no doubt ; but I do makewo u a y have s marred by anything like that proposed. You may s a y I am an impertinent fellow ; but, ta f hn or ina m kp y otioh s g a a k yt e .t , h p e ra h y ig g h i e v set I have know up your ideas of holding a committee meeting on the subject. yl ta smo o cmouaarooenmw ma s te r r o eg n a r i y rv i e l k e te s p n y 's ° ::: (f u f t E rot t m r t hel : aea l y a a r htg' than the 0 no u farmers' a r o n I f t e h r i s , o nh u ned n a d mr s .)all a y nd ye a a s r a s. b r half the things mom A rarl V . ccooiocuierav--;;Te:iestn,aildwe_thhelni mayl ong at once have said din known joke.you I s ay ot broth er farmer; all o f you, and I n --that there is no class I have got one myself, and thata. wives of England, for any thing I should say disparagingly is my wife ; so that I Lave say disparaging l y wives If, England) therefore, 1 of them (the farmers' wife. onlyy lavdeiddonneotwr estima tion, I can intend o ng in t hyoure slightest e n s t f i m m ay offence ; but what I said I of you seem to h ave taken i ll t e t a o nt hear as a joke.

Three cheers were then given for the ladies; three more for the farmers' wives ; three for Mrs. .Colvile ,• three for Mrs. Wollaston ; and then the chairman left the meeting. After the chairman had left, the farmers who remained behind commented very freely on the remarks made by Mr. Colvile ; and amongst the sentiments proposed was the following —" Here's to the wife of a jolly good farmer, who can make a jolly good cheese, and play a I jolly good tune on a jolly good piano, to a jolly good tangly." - -
