In some the speculations of interested parties arc invested with the garb of reality, and guesses are treated as distinct and unquestionable facts, while in one at least of the others " the :wish is father to the thought," and we are treated to a ridiculous in vention as a piece of " startling news." It would indeed bo " startling" but for the simple cir cumstance that it is not merely improbable, but absolutely impossible, and that it may therefore be regarded as one of the most unblushing speci mens of mendacity that has as yet proceeded from philo-Muscovite sources—albeit that some of these ingenious inventions have already en titled themselves to rank with the MUNCHAUSENS and LONGI:GWS of former generations, and cast even FERDINAND MENDEZ RUITO himself into the shade. The first of these audacious flaws comes to us in the Cassel Gazette, which, on the authority of a letter from Bucharest, dated the 14th instant, announces that " the corps of General LUDERS, 60,000, had crossed the Danube and entered the Dobrudscha !" It adds its belief that " the Rus sian army intends to march on Varna, whilst the Turkish army is encamped in Wallachia, and the Allied Army is operating in the Crimea !!" To maintain an appearance of impartiality, it gravely declares that, "as regards Varna, it is to be re marked that there are in its neighbourhood two French divisions, and between 7,000 and 8,000 English and Turkish troops. There is, then, a very imposing army of 30,000 men, which ren ders a coup de main against Varna impossible ! ! !" We venture to add that the army, albeit 30,000 strong, is not by any means so "imposing" as the announcement in the Cassel Gazette, which was probably intended to delay the operations of the reserve, and prevent them from co-operating with their brethren in the Crimea as soon as might otherwise be the case. The fabri cator of this brilliant tale was not, however, satis fied with playing on the credulity or Russian tendencies of the Cassel Gazette. A letter from the same town, of the same date, and manifestly from the same hand, appeared in the Presse of Vienna, by which the author declared that "he was enabled to announce positively that General LUDERS had crossed the Danube with large forces, and was advancing on the Dobrudscha ; that, ac cording to the last news, Russian troops had been a"en at Matschin, near Ibraila." With a pleasing display of candour, which shows that the arrow thus shot forth was drawn frOM the same quiver as t hat above referred to, the writer adds--" I mention this fact to you without sharing the opinion generally credited here, that General LUDERS intends to march on Varna, where there is a very large force of Allied Troops !!" Now, without entering into any arguments to prove the insuperable difficulties that would attend so reckless a step, which, if practicabl e , would necessarily be followed by the destruction of th e t • en lre corps, without proving, as we might easily do, the physical impossibility of such a movement, it is sufficient to say, that we have authentic accounts from Buch ares t u p to the 22d inst., eight d ays later than. the letters aforesaid, in which not th e slightest allusion is made to the importaait "facts" so kindly communicated to the Editors of. the Basset Ga::ette, and the Press of Vienna. _Another story of a similar cla,:s is, that 111141,i:1u fleet had actually sailed from SehastoPol, With the intention of cutting off the " reservo, pn . its - passage from Varna to the CrimeA." 7:,4.1 comes fr,wri ( , ) , !1 , 0,•it , ! on wiiit - !) it is founded is an alleged despatch from Prince SIEY(SCRIKOPF to the CZAR. The amiable journalist, however, adds —" We are afraid tltat this last piece of intelligence is too good to be 416 ' 4 " So are we—although our fears rest on a very different foundation from those of the frieud -to Russia, who has g i ven express i on thereto, as above stated. Another author gives a different 'version of the affair, and hints that the destination of the Fleet is Constantinople, which will be taken possession of in the name of the Emperor NICHOLAS so soon as the " little" affair of the " reserve" is disposed of, and when the Euxinc has been made the grave of the 30,000 English, French, and Turkish troops. These would unquestionably be very brilliant and very important actions, but that a trifling impediment exists in the shape of the Allied Fleets blockading the port of Sebastopol, which will be prepared to enter into a very decisive and satisfactory reckonL ing with any Russian vessels that may venture to emerge from under the guns of the fortifications at Sebastopol. The other matters relate to the Crimea, and may be received quantum valeant p that is to say, there is nothing about them outrageously impro bable, and therefore they may be true, but inas much as they rest on no certain foundation they may be taken as the embodiment of certair, vague guesses that have been hazuded. The chief of these dicta is to the effect that " Prince MENSCHIKOFF had advanced with his troops to Burliuk, on the river Alma, and had taken up a position there, awaiting the attack of the Allies, and awaiting reinforcements." This news conies_ simultaneously from Berlin and Vienna—the for mer stating it as the intention of the Russian General to meet the Allies on the Alma—the latter stating that he had actually advanced to Burliuk. As we have stated, it may be true, but must be taken cum grano salis. There is also. a rumour in Paris that a battle had actually taken place, in which the Russians were defeated with. great bloodshed. It was also rumoured that the Turkish corps had been routed by the Russians, who, in turn, were put hors de combat by the French and English troops. Another rumour was; that, in the event of defeat, the Russians were resolved to perish to a man in the ruins of their stronghold, and that instructions had been given to the fleet the moment that Sebastopol was invested to put to sea and fight to the last, selling the ships and. their crews at as dear a rate as possible. All that we can now say is, that these tidings are all de cidedly premature, and that we must patiently await the issue of the important events now in progress—an issue that rests solely in the hands of the " LORD OF HOSTS." A great man has passed from amongst; us. THOMAS Lord DENMAN is no more ! One who delighted the Senate and the Bar by his brilliant eloquence, and whose proved impartiality and in corruptibility' added additional weight to every sentiment he delivered, inasmuch as it was known to be the truthful emanation from an honest heart, has been snatched away by death, and has left no nobler spirit behind. The ex-Chief Justice was, indeed, no ordinary man, and the highest ealo gium that could be pronounced on him was, that his great talents were ever secondary to the zeal and energy, the independence, and the sincerity of his character. A firm and unflinching Liberal, he never bartered or even concealed his firm convictions for the sake of political ad vancement. He never followed for a single moment the path of expediency, or deviated in the slightest degree from that of rectitude, but acted on every occasion during his protracted, useful, and honourable existence as in his heart and conscience he thought in accordance with justice, and heedless of consequences to himself or others. Of this he gave many striking illustra tions, but two particularly attracted public attention, in which his firm determination was exhibited, and which redounded to his honour. Many of the " Waiters on PROVIDENCE," those seeking after the crumbs of patronage that dropped from the Ministerial . table, predicted that his stern, unbending disposition would prevent him from ever attaining the pro fessional honours to which he might otherwise fairly have aspired. But he was elevated to the highest rank, while the " benders and crawlers," the " mac-sycophants and time-servers" remained buried in merited obscurity, thus affording another convincing proof that in politics as well as in every other portion of the " battle of life" unflinching honesty" is indeed "the best policy." The family or Lord DENMAN had long been settled at Bakewell, in Derbyshire, a spot to which the illustrious Chief Justice continued deeply at tached during his entire life. His father, Dr. Taos. DENMAN, had achieved considerable eminence as a physician, having had the honour of being one of the attendants on Royalty itself. His mother was ELIZABETH, daughter of ALEXANDER BRODIE, Esq., and aunt to the present Sergeant-Surgeon Sir B. COLLINS BRODIE, Baronet. Lord DENMAN was the only son of this marriage, his two sisters were married respectively to the unfortunate Sir I RICHARD CROFT—who perished by his own hand, on the death of the Princess CHARLOTTE, while under his care—and to Dr. BAILLIE, who acquired the greatest eminence in his profession. The young THOMAS DEN3IAN, who was born on the 23d July, 1779, was in due course sent to school at Diss, in Norfolk, where he was under the care of the celebrated Mrs. BARBA ULD, whose hymns and other works for children are so well known. He subsequently entered St. JOHN'S College, Cambridge, but did not, achieve very great collegiate distinction during his undergra duate career. In 1805 he contracted matrimony with THEODOSIA ANNE, daughter of the Rev. RICHARD VEVERS, of Sexby, and Rector of Ket tering, to whom, for foriy-seven years, lie acted as a faithful and loving husband, experiencing the truest domestic felicity during this long period. By her ho has left a family of five sons, the eldest of whom, THOMAS DENMAN, born in 1805, now succeeds to the title his father so nobly and honourably acquired. Iu 1806 Mr. DENMAN, then 27 years of age, was called to the Bar by the Honourable Society of Lincoln's Inn, and soon got into respectable, although not very extensive, practice. Owing to his father's previous success, he was exempted from many of the struggles to which too many young barristers are subjected before they achieve the substantial rewards of professional merit. He pursued his course until 1818, when, being then aged 39 years, he was elected to a seat for the borough of Wareham, then under the influence of the " CALCRAFT" family. He immediately took a prominent part among liberal politicians, and strongly opposed the old Tory clique that misgoverned the country. In 1820 he was appointed Solicitor-General to Queen CA RO LIN E, HENRY BROITGHA M being the Attor ney-General. In this position, by faithfully discharging his duty to his client, he acquired the animosity of GEORGE IV. and his Ministers, and thus the " silk gown," to which he was so well entitled, was withheld until the year 1828, when a patent of procedings was wrung from the. reluctant Monarch, for his honest and conscienti ous opponent. If, however, by Ms strenuous exertions, he lost the favour of the Court, he gained that of the people, and in 1822 was elected by the Corporation of London to the honourable position of Common Sergeant of the City. He retained this situation until the appointment of th e GREY Administration in 1830, wh en hi s ill us t r i ous le HE NRY BROUGHAM, being appointed Lord Chancellor, with a peerage, Mr. DENMAN tiv thehonou r s ) at e d Att orne y -G enera l , an d o b ta i ned of knighthood from his SOVEREIGN'. 111 1834, on the (Lath of Lord TENTERDEN', in app.iilited Lord Chief Justice of I l~a~l cud, which oatitiLe than l i in,:.rli~t'ity for e iefiile c l y ‘ e v :us iit . l . dignity and The most meinorable case in which lie was erg , :.40 .1 was that of STOCI:DAIA: v.

In he displayed unflinching this arduous struggle The Ear/ of Aberdeen left town yesterday for Perth, en route for Balmoral, on a visit to the Queen. The Chan,!ellor of the Exchequer and Mrs: Gladstone left Andley-end, the seat of Lord Braybrooke, yesterday, to visit the.Danery at Paterborough, whence the right hon. gentleman and Mrs. Gladstone will proceed on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Ellesmere, at Worsley ball, near Manchester. A deputation from the National Association for the Improvement of the Dwellings of the Working Classes had an interview yesterday with the President of the General Board of Health, at his office, Whitehall. The deputation consisted of Mr. R. 11. Moore, Mr. W. E. Pope, %Mr. Henry Steevens, and Mr. Brown, solicitor. Despatches were sent yesterday from the Colonial office to the Governor of Gibraltar. The Right Hon. Lord John Russell, M.P., and Lady Russell and family, are at present staying at Taylor's crescent Hotel, Filey, Yorkshire. At the last vestry of the parish of St. Mary Abbotts, Kensington, the following gentlemen were elected mem bers of ;he new burial board, pursuant to 15 and 16 Vic. c. 85 :--TheVen. the Archdeacon Sinclair, P. H. Benest, Kensington-park, W. Cumming, Notting-hill-square, Sir W. Wheeler, Victoria-terrace, T. Carrington Camp bell, Earl's-terrace, G. 'Whitfield, Thurloe-square. The board has purchased a large plot of land a little beyond the pleasant villas of Ealing. It is to be walled in, and chapels are to be erected. CRYSTAI PALACE, SEPT. 26.—SHLLINGDAY.--Adtnis sion at the doors, 6,235; admission by season tickets, 663 ; total, 6,898. A FLOATING CHURCH.—A. new floating church is about being established in Birkenhead. In about 20 days 33 persons died from cholera and 17 from diarrhoea, in the Isle of Jersey. Mr. Samuel Wellard West, of the firm of Norris, Adams, and Co., of Deal, Ramsgate, and Margate, is appointed Royal Danish vice-consul for the port of Rams gate and its district. O'CONNELL'S MONUMENT.—The first stone of the in tended monument to the late Mr. O'Connell was laid in the cemetery at Glasnevin on Saturday. The proceeding was private. DUBLIN SAILORS' HOME.— The secretary received from the crew of one vessel last week upwards of 2001., a great part of which was secured to the men by bank orders on London, and more of it laid out h ere f or p ro p er clothince. THE MAYOR AND CORPORATION OF SOUTHAMPTON paid a state visit yesterday to the United States screw steam frigate St. Jacinto, lying in Southampton Water. A salute was fired from the frigate in honour of the visit. The St. Jacinto leaves' Southampton to-day. PROOF OF CONVICTIONS TO BE GIVEN IN CIVIL CASES. —Under the new Common Law Procedure Act, a wit ness in any cause may bo questioned as to whether lie has been convicted of any felony or misdemeanour, and if he denies the fact or refuses to answer, the oppo site party may prove the conviction and put in a certifi cate, which upon proof of the identity of the person, is to be evidence of the conviction, without proof of the official character of the person signing it. THE NUISANCE OPPOSITE THE ADELPHI.—Several days ago a deputation from the board of guardians of the parish of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, waited upon Sir B. Hall, Bart., complaining of a most serious nuisance in the River Thames opposite the Adelphi-terrace, arising out of a large accumulation of filth and decomposed mat ter in barges. The deputation to the Board of Health was the last resource, and at the interview which took place they had an assurance from the chief commissioner, Sir B. Hall, Bart., that a case should be drawn up for legal advice ; and the consequence has been that at the last Central Criminal Court an indictment was preferred before the grand jury against the offender, upon which a true bill has been found, it being agreed that until the case has been heard the nuisance shall be discontinued. CITY AND METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS.—In New gate-street several houses are now being removed, the leases having fallen into the Corporation, so that in future the street will be wider in consequence. It is hoped that before the buildings are re-erected the Improvement Committee will take care that a sufficiently open space will be left opposite the beautiful edifice denominated " Cliristchtirch,7 leading into Newgate-street, so that the structure may be seen to advantage, and the pas sag-way—formerly exceedingly narrow—made worthy ' to be celled a suitable approach to the sacred edifice. In TT t. below the churc h , the pith waye :ere being widened, and the sideways of the row paved with Aber deen granite (if the first quality. Tem Ness BEER Aar.—NORIVICEI, Mon lay.—X meeting of the licensed victuallers in this city was held this afternoon at the Boar's Head Tavern, Surrey-street; Mr. F. Philips, the landlord of the house, in the chair. There was :i fair attendance of the trade. Mr. S. Day nos, who moved the adoption of a petition to Parlia ment for the repeal of the new act, said it was not only a publican's, but a public question, for every person was' deeply interested in checking the course of a system of legislation the end of which could not be seen. The petition having been adopted, the chairman proposed that a licensed victuallers' association should be esta blished in the city, observing that for ss. a year the trade might secure the services of a legal adviser to attend before the magistrates when informations were laid against them. The suggestion met with the unani mous approval of the meeting, and a president, vice president, committee, secretary, and treasurer, having been appointed, the proceedings terminated. FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE CANN VIADUCT.—On Sun day morning last, between ten and eleven o'clock, a fatal accident, occasioned by the falling of some massive wocden supports in one of the archways of the Cann viaduct, occurred to a young man named Samuel Ket ley, aged 17, son of a labourer in Moulshaw, and who was in training as a drummer for the West Essex Mi litia. It appears that at the time the unfortunate acci dent occurred, deceased, with two other youths, was lounging under the archway, but some distance off the footpath. One of them, a young man named Gardner, hearing a loud cracking noise, looked upwards, and see ing the large props were giving way, called loudy to his companions, but too late to save deceased, who, while attempting to escape, and while in a stooping posture, was struck down by a heavy block of wood and killed on the spot, his neck and back being broken, and his body being frightfully mangled. Deceased's mother, who has been for some time past in a delicate state of health, was so shocked on hearing of her son's untimely end that she dropped down in the street in a state of insensibility.—Essex Herald. NEW YORK SCREW STEAMER PETREL PUT BACK.- FIVE PASSENGERS DEAD.—Early on Monday morning, the New York screw-steamer Petrel, Captain 'rims, ar rived off Greenock, considerably disabled. The Petrel left Glasgow on the sth, and sailed from the Tail of the Bank on the 7th, on her voyage to New York, with a full complement of goods and passengers. She experi enced violent gales up till about a week after sailing. Several of the steerage passengers became affected with dysentery, which rather gained ground from the con tinued severity of the weather ; and although every at tention was bestowed on those affected by the medical officer of the ship, five cases proved fatal between the 10th and 14th. TESTIMONIAL TO SIR J. T. TYRELL, BART., M. P.- 4 proposal has been set on foot, and already responded to from all quarters in a manner which appears to insure its complete success, that a testimonial be presented to Sir J. Tyssen Tyrell, Bart., M.P., as a proof of the feeling of that county towards one who has served it long both in Parliament and in o th er capac i t i es—zea- lously endeavouring on all occasions to • consult the wishes and promote the welfare of its inhabitants ; and as a mark, too, of the respect he has won, independently of public and political considerations, from a large circle of private friends. It has already been responded to not only by his own supporters, but by many who, though not altogether agreeing with the hon. baronet ou some political points, can appreciate his character and his long services, and honour a consistent and manly course of conduct ; by many others who have so often met him in the discharge of public duties in Ow county, at the covert side following and upholding the sports of the field, or at the social board of private friendship, and desire to record their respect for him as an English country gentleman. It has been, decided that the testi monial shall consist of a full length portrait of the hon. baronet, painted by an eminent artist—the portrait to be engraved, each subscriber being entitled to a print.— Chelmsford Chronicle. • POACHING AFFRAY,—On the night of the 12th inst., a gang of poachers, numbering eighteen or twenty, were beating for rabbits on the estate of Colonel Wildman, in the neighbourhood of Newstead Abbey, when they were surpri,:ed by the keepersand watchers, nine in num ber. It appears that the poachers were well drilled and organised, for as soon as they saw the keepers, certain words of command were given by the leader, whom they called '' captain," and they immediately formed them selves in close line, dropped their hands into their pockets, and let fly a volley of stones ; they then closed, but the li.eepets, finding they had the worst of it, made I off, with the e x ception of Colonel Wildman's coachman arid an under-keeper named Turner, who courageousl.y stuck to the poa,elorrs, and were severely beaten with flai!s an►l sticks. The poacher 4 then decamped, leaving behind them two long nets.—Nottingham Journal. FALL OP A HIGH CHIMNEY.—On Thursday last, a number of bricklayers were engaged in trying to straighten a chimney about 45 yards high, recently built for new chemical works, the property of Deacon and Co., Runcorn-gap. After the foundation was strengthened, He❑ry O'Neil and others were endeavouring to restore the chimney to its level, when the whole pile rent from top to bottom, and fell upon O'Neil, who was at time employed between the two walls. Four others miracu lously escaped by flight.--Liverpool Mercury. - THE ! 4 ,frng, LONDON. WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 27, 1864. firmness and the highest moral dignity.

THE OyERLAND MAIL. is in the anticipated success a commencement of military and diplomatic solution. Germany is hesitating at pre sent under the pressure of the hesitations of Prussia. Perhaps she will not hesitate any longer after the capture of Sebastopol. It is known that the first sitting of the Diet of Fr an kf or t did not enter on the chapter of East ern affairs. The influence of Vienna and that of Berlin are in presence ; one calls for the accession of the Con federation to the four guarantees of the Western Powers; the other has in advance rejected that basis of action in a circular which we have published. A great blow would be required to definitively induce 'Germany to follow in the course of the West. Perhaps the avenging cannon of the Crimea will realise that national accord, So desirable for the independence and interests of Ger many." (By Submarine and European Telegraph,.)

THE ARMY IN THE CRIMEA PARIS, TUESDAY. A despatch from Marseilles of this morn ing announces the march of 25,000 Turks on Brai low, and the junction of Schamyl's forces with those of his Lieutenant Daniel, with a view of attacking Tiflis. The Turkish army in Asia now occupies the camp abandoned by the Russians near Kars. The Thabor steamer left Constantinople on the 20th with the details of the landing in the Crimea, and is expect©d to arrive at Marseilles to-morrow or the day after. M. Maurer, formerly Minister of Justice, has been sent to Athens on a mission by the King of Bavaria. BERLLN, TUESDAY EVENING. Intelligence from the Crimea, received via St. Petersburg, and which may be believed or not, according to the fancy of the reader, states that Prince IVlenschikoff was concentrating his forces, and would meet the allies on the Alma river. We are also informed that Prince Menschikoff has telegraphed to St. Petersburg that the Russian fleet had sailed from Sebastopol to intercept the passage of the reserve from Varna ; but we are afraid that this last piece of intelligence is too good to be true. Twenty Russian barges, laden with corn and rags, had been partly wrecked in a gale, and partly cap tured by the Amphion and Archer. PARIS, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 27. We have received the following, dated Mar seilles, 26th inst.:— "The reserve at Varna received orders to em bark on the 18th for the) Crimea, under the orders of General Levaillant. " . From Alexandria we learn that the viceroy was hastening the sending of new reinforcements and artillery to the Porto. " Two combats had lo;m9n. fought in Georgia be tween Daniel l3ey(Sehanityl's lieutenant) and Wran gel's division. The Russians were beaten. "The Poles, who formed part of this Russian division, are reported to have gone over to the enemy with two guns. "A committee of mere.liants has been formed at Constantinople, to fix the rate of foreign exchange and paper money." The Paris papers just received contain accounts of the 'expedition in the Crimea. The following ` , ranslation will be found highly interesting : ("211 M. the Constitutionnel.) "Old Fort, where the landing was effected, is, accord ing to the best maps, 45 kibornetres (28i English miles) to the north of Sebastopol, and 23 kilometres (14g Eng lish miles) to the south of Eupatoria, a little above the river Boulganack. This position is indicated in some maps, by the name of Traktir. It will be seen that the troops had advanced immediately by the roads of Simpheropol and Bachti-Serai ; but perhaps nothing is meant but bodies of troops intended to observe the enemy. The part of the expeditionary army which proceeds along the coast will meet with four streams of water before they arrive at the little arm of the sea which is at the north of Sebastopol. The country is wooded and moun tainous, but that inconvenience is compensated for by the facility of having wood and water, which would be difficult to find in advancing farther into the country. The streams of water are Boulganack, the Alma, the Katcha, and the Belbek. This last river being passed, the northern fort, and the Fort Com.tantine, are right in front. The northern fort is a regular work, which it will be ne cessary to attack by land, and probably according to all the rules of the military art. As to Fort Constantine, the example given at Bomarsuna leads us to believe hat it may be reduced by an attack from the fleet. Once masters of these two points, Sebastopol is ours. With an enemy able to defend the ground foot by foot, the distance between the landing-point and Sebastopol might ,be difficult ; but to judge by the language of Marshal de St. Arnaud and Lord Raglan to Omer Paella, the generals-in-chief do not appear to expect any great resistance before arriving at the end of their march." (Fr•)m the] , s•Qcle.) " The enterprise in course of execution is certainly a great one. Remark, In fact, that if it euceeeds, as there is reason to hope, the naval power in the Black Sea will be completely destroyed, and the independance of the Otto man Empire will be reestablished. The mouths of the Danube have become free, and the treaties which opened the Principalities to the sovereign influences of the Czar have been torn to pieces by the sword. The war will not then be finished, but a capital point will be decided —namely, that the Euxine will ❑o longer be a Russian lake, for what hitherto has constituted the supremacy of Russia, is not merely that her navy is stronger than that of Turkey, but that it has to shelter itself against the fleets of the Sultan's allies, a port which cannot be forced except by the aid of a powerful army. That port once destroyed, though the war may not be imme diately terminated, the respective situations of Turkey and Russia will have been completely changed. We are also convinced that by the fall of Sebastopol the German powers will be led to modify their attitude, or, to speak more properly, to act more in accordance with their words. In order to have a part in the benefits of war by setting themselves as arbiters of peace, the German powers should have a position such as they have not yet had, and which they will not pro bably have reached until Russia shall have lost the Crimea, which, militarily, is everything for her by the facility which it gives her to command the Black Sea by her fleet.• The capture of Sebastopol would therefore produce consequences which it is now impossible to calculate, and the principal one of which would be to decide Germany to support differently from what she has hitherto done the propositions put forward by France and England." CONSTANTINOPLE. Up to the present moment (Sept. 14)no reliable news has reached this place concerning the expedi tion to the Crimea, though numerous reports are in circulation. To-morrow we expect an English steamer, which must bring the first real account of their proceedings. Constantinople is very quiet. All eyes are di ncted towards the Black Sea, anxiously awaiting the result of the landing in the Crimea. A report has been spread during the last few days of the Sultan's illness. As it may have spread to Europe, I make a point of contradicting it, his Imperial Mnjesty being in the enjoyment of his usual health. THE PR I NCIPALITIES. A letter from Bucharest states that the municipal council of that city has voted 7,000 ducats (80,000 fr.) for an electric telegraph from Bucharest to Cronstadt,,in Transylvania. According to a despatch from Bucharest, of the 19th inst., the vanguard of the army in the Crimea is commanded by Prince Napoleon. On the 14th his head-quarters were at Saks. Here there were some Cossack pickets, who made off in the direction of Simferopol on the approach of the allied troops. THE BALTIC FLEET. RUMOURED ATTACK ON REVEL. DANTZIC, Sept. 15.—The belief gains strength here that an attack on Revel will be made before the ice closes the naval campaign for this year. By the Holyrood, which arrived yesterday at Sheer ness, and left Revel Bay on the 12th instant, we have received the following interesting intelli gence :—The squadron under Admiral Plumridge there then consisted of the St. George, Royal George, Neptune, Cressy, Csar, Monarch, Nile, Princess Royal, Dragon, the French ship Tage, and another French line-of-battle-ship. Admiral Plumridge was on board the Neptune with his flag. The boats of the fleet had been engaged laying down buoys, taking bearings and distances preparatory to an attack being made on Revel. They were only waiting for Sir Charles Napier. Look-out was being kept at the mastheads of all the tauntest ships for the gallant Admiral with his squadron, which was hourly expected. The Cressy was anchored within two miles of Revel, inside Nargen Island. The fleet were anchored in line four miles distant• from the forts at Revel, waiting orders for advancing within shot-range of the guns of the fleet. The Nargen Islanders reported that there were 70,000 infantry and 8,000 cavalry en camped in and around Revel to protect the place. About three weeks since the whole army was reviewed by the Emperor, who, according to the Nargen Island ers, addressed them himself, urging them to keep the enemy from their shores, or perish in the attempt to do so. The Nargen Islanders, it is reported, do all they possibly dare to barter with the fleet, and are very faithful in all their transactions. They seem to have the greatest confidence in the English officers and seamen. Each ship's company has sunk a well in Nargen Island, where they get very ex cellent water for their use, and an abundant supply. A ;mall Russian cutter was seen sailing about in the bay. The Cressy's cutter, armed, was sent in to cut her off; she did so, and brought her out under the fire of the fort. The Admiral finding she was merely used for pleasure, and not wishing to•spoil the recreation of the harmless natives, she was released. The crew in the Russian sailing cutter were dreadfully alarmed, fearing the shot would tell where not intended. The blue-jackets enjoyed the sport, seeing the shots playing duck' and drake around them. Mr. Henry Ommanney, naval cadet, has come home invalided, having had a severe attack of cholera. There are also 14 sailors and 4 marines invalided home from Admi ral Plumridge's squadron. There were only a few cases of cholera under treatment in the whole fleet —not more than ,one death a day in the whole fleet. Some of the invalids state that, had it not been for the kindness of the commander in giving some of the invalids preserved fresh meats and wines from his owu private stores, they would have suffered very much, as they only had salt provisions sent on board fur them, and no hospital stores or sur geon was on board the ilolyrood. RUSSIA. THE RUSSIAN FLEET IN THE BALTIC. The Russian fleet in the Baltic comprises the following sailing ships, together with three steamers of 400-horse power, mounting eight guns each, two steamers of 120-horse power, mounting four onus each, and one steam corvette of 20 guns an d 450- horse power. They are stationed at Helsingfors and Cronstadt in the following proportions : AT HELSINGFORS (9.) Guns. Russia St. Georgo the Conqueror 112 Pultava, B4 Prochor B4 Vladimir GunB.

That portion of the Russian fleet which is in the harbour of Belsingfors has commenced preparations for the winter season. The ships have unbent their sails and struck their topmasts. In a month from the present time they will be frozen in. THE CHOLERA IN ST. PETERSBURG. On the morning of the 2d (14th) inst. there were 68 patients, and 5 fresh cases occurred ; there were 5 cures and 1 death, leaving 68 cases under treat ment: On the 3d (10th) three more were attacked, 2 were cured, and none died. On the 4th, 2 more attacks, 9 cures, and 1 death, leaving 61 persons The reports of the engineers to the Minister of Finance in Russia announce that the production of the gold and silver mines continues to be con siderable. On the 19th, a convoy of 11 waggons, laden with 17 ponds of gold, and 100 of silver bars, passed through NigniSovogorod, on their way to St. Petersburg, being a total value of about two millions of francs. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Sept. 23.—An article entitled the " Present State of the Oriental Question," which has appeared in the Augsburg Gazette, deserves no tice, as it evidently gives the opinions of the States represented at the Bamberg Conference on the Oriental question. After observing that if the expe dition against Sebastopol should succeed the Western Powers will in the spring still more positively insist " on the moral and political humiliation of Russia," the Bavarian writer proceeds to say that the object of Germany must be " by its resolute attitude to force both parties to peace." We are told that the word " force"is employed advisedly, as the Western Powers well know that the Oriental question cannot be settled in the way they wish unless Austria goes 1 to war, and that she will not do unless she receives (From, the Pays.) • 1 the positive assurance of the support of Prussia and' "The Illoniteur rectified yesterday with official infor- ! the rest of Germany.

The editor has prefaced it with some few words, which so entirely express my own views that the most expedient course will be to trans late them as they stand. After premising that the Note is dated September 14, and is addressed to the Austrian representatives in all the States of the German Confederation, except the two Meek lenburgs, they being the only Governments that did not join the treaty of alliance of April 20, he says : " This document is skilfully enough calculated on the one hand to define and retain the perfectly neutral position that the Austrian Cabinet now observes in the war commenced against Russia ; on the other hand, to keep public opinion, in so far as it had in• dulged in the assumption that Austria was very much of accord with the Western Powers and hostilely disposed against Russia, in that way of thinking ; further, to preserve an external appearance of per fect identity of feeling with Prussia much more than seems actually to exist ; at the same time to draw Prussia towards herself by a conciliatory acquiescence in the wishes of her Cabinet, and to make Austria, in con trast to the backward, inactive, expectant attitude of Prussia, appear as the active, combative representative, and supporter of interests which are not simply German and European, but are averred to be the only real Ger man interests, par excellence, that are brought into ques tion." The New Prussian Gazette states, under the head of Vienria, that the Austrian Cabinet has sent to St. Petersburg, in reply to the note of Count NC3- selrode of the 26th ult., a note in which Austria again insists on the fourropositions. PRUSSIA. FRANCE. The Moniteur publishes the following telegraphic despatch .from Therapia, 17th : "MARSHAL DE SAINT-ARNAUD TO THE MINISTER OP WAR. "Bivouac of Oldfort, 16th.—The allied armies landed at Oldfort on the 14th without meeting with any resist ance. The troops are full of ardour. The Tartar popu lation appear very favourably disposed. We are estab lishing ourselves by the landing of the cavalry and the materiel. This is a laborious operation, and is some times impeded by the wind ; but it advances, and I hope to be prepared to leave to-morrow. The ensemble of our debut is very satisfactory." The following private telegraphic despatch has also been received : "MARSEILLES, 26th,—The courier which left Con stantinople on the 15th merely announces the march of 25,000 Turks on Ibrail, and the junction of the corps commanded by Schamy .with that of his lieutenant, Daniel Bey, in order to make an attack on Tiflis. The Turkish army in Asia, which is waiting for its new general-in- chief, Ismail Pacha, occupies the camp abandoned by the Russians near Kars. Since his departure from Silistria, Ismail Pacha has been the object of continual ovations on the part of the Ottoman troops whom he meets on his road. The Thabor, which left Constantinople on the 20th, is expected here on the 27th or 28th. She will bring de tails of the lauding of the allies in the Crimea. Accord ing to notes exchanged between the governments of France, England, and Bavaria, the cabinet of Munich has just sent M. Maurer, ex-Minister of Justice, on a mission to King Otho." The Minister of War has lately taken measures to have the frontier-zone of France more strictly watched over ; and to that effect he has addressed a circular to the prefects, officers of gendarmery, and commanders of fortified places, stating what points that surveillance ought to be more particu larly directed to, and the nature of the acts of preservation that ought to be carried out.

A letter from the Hague, of Sept. 20, in the Independence of Brussels, says :—" When King William arrived at the camp of Groplivet, he wished to assume the command of the troops, but General Van .Poolsum Booy, who was at the head of the troops, refused to give up tLe command, nothing in his instructions from the Minister of War authorising him to give up his functions. A conflict arose in consequence be tween them, and in the end the general ten dered his resignation. No one can say if it has been accepted ; but his Majesty, wishing to mark his sense of the general's strict attention to the orders given him, has made him adjutant on extraordinary service." ITALY. A letter from Rome of the 20th state that the Pontifical Government has just contracted a loan for four millions of crowns (21 millions of francs) with the house of Rothschild. The first instal ment is to be paid to the Government in the course of the ensuing month. MISCELLANEOUS. Prince Meuschikoff has only forty-eight pieces of cannon at his command, which are ranged on the heights from the Convent of St. Crimea to Sebas topol. None of the batteries consist of more than eight pieces. The Satellite says that Philippesku, the late com mander of the Moldavian, militia, is sentenced to four years' exile in Siberia, and at the end of this time he is to join the army of the Caucasus. We learn from Vienna that, on the 22d, Prince Gortschakoff received a despatch announcing the disembarkation of the expedition in the Crimea, and immediately wrote to the Russian Ambassador at Stuttgard, stating that he postponed his intended visit to that city. The Copirte Zeitung says that despatches re ceived by Prince Meuschikoff from St. Petersburg instruct him to propose an armistice in case of the destruction of the fleet being imminent. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 22d announces that the Delegate Council of Turin has favourably received Chevalier Bonelli's proposal of having a universal exhibition of manufactures at Turin, in 1857, and invitedihim to write to the secretary on the subject. A correspondent of the Lloyd writes on the 11th inst. from Constantinople, that the rebel Zeybecks, in the pachalick of Aiden, still held the upper hand. Their leader, Sinan Oglu, with his followers, had thrown himself into Fort Kutak, in Aidin, and re peatedly beaten back the imperial troops. In Persia the Turcomans had taken and destroyed two forts. A letter from Stockholm, of the 13th, says : " We have here at present in our port a Sardinian brig, the Adda, with a large quantity of hemp on board, grown in Piedmont. This is the first time that that article has been brought here from Italy; it haq been sold at rather high prices." Advices from Galatz of the 16th inst. state that the fortifications there are already res t ore d, an d that the Turkish garrison will eventually consist of 6,000 men. Up to the 16th, the garrison of Galatz was not more than 25,000 men. - A correspondent, writing from Constantinople, saysthat some five or six gun-boats, laden with Russian troops and munitions, had been lost in a storm iu the sea of Azoff, on their way from Taganrog to the Crimea. No dates are given. By an imperial decree the Jewish Consistory of Metz has been authorised to accept the donation of 60,000 fr. made by the late Duchess do Plaisance, for putting out as apprentices a certain number of Jewish children. The Moniteur des Il4pitaux says :—"The greater number of the physicians or medical pupils sent into the country to attend the cholera patients are returning to the capital, which proves that every where in France the epidemic is happily disappear ing. The movement cf the civil hospitals proves that such is also the case in Paris." Baron Andre Mario Hue, ex-premior valet-de chambre of Louis XVIII. and Charles X., died on the 16th near Bray (Seine-et-Marne), at the age of • 68. Baron Andre was the only son of M.
