The Militia Bill—the chief, if not the sole ob ject for which Parliament was convened at this rather inconvenient season—was yesterday intro duced into the House -by the Noble Lord the Secretary: of State for the Home Department. E at once received its first reading, and will be read a second time this day. On such a point there can be no dispute or difficulty. Any opposition, or even discussion, that might by any possibility delay its progress would be alike unfair to the country and to the gallant militiamen, who are not merely ready and willing, but most anxious to render more important services than can be re quired under the existing regulations. And it would be doubly so to the over-tasked heroes in the Crimea, who so urgently require all the as sistance that can possibly be afforded, and that without the delay of a single day that can be avoided. Whatever differences of opinion may exist on other points--whethe r the past manage ment or future intentions respectin g the conduct of the War be questioned—the Militia Bill will not be made the battle-ground. The matter is so obvi ously reasonable—has so many favourable, and few objectionable points—that we may anticipate its being carried through both Houses by acclama tion, ncmine contradicentc. The only difficulty that can be urged is that the measure does not go far enough, and authorise the employment of the men in any part of the world, or in any ser vice for which they may be willing to offer them selves, and this we would fain hope may be re medied during its progress through the Legis lature. _ We can easily understand why it was that Ministers framed the bill in so limited a manner, an ,d only asked for power to send militia regi ments with their own assent to certain stations in the Mediterranean, with the possibility of being invited to volunteer for garrison service in some of the North American Colonies. It is true that the bill, in terms, applies to any places out of the United Kingdom, but from the statement made by the Noble Lord it is practically restricted within the limits above men tioned—the object, of course, being o disarm anything in the shape of opposition, and to obtain that complete and perfect unanimity that will we are sure be accorded to it. The generosity and patriotism of Parliament will, however, we are coavinced, extend the terms, and sanction the employment of our domestic troops in the/ • r caPacitv of militiamen, in any way that may be most beneficial to the nation, and condu cive to th e h onour of the galla n t f e ll ows them selves. No reasonable objection i.h can be offered to this. There cannot be e e slightest coerci on o f any kind. No man w ill b compell e d t o l eave th e United Kingdom unt i l he las first sp ec ifi e d his individual desire to do so. The the majority, h ow ever wishes of o o vir t eve ° and overwhelming, minority. although ninet y - nine o u t of the hundred express their earnest desir e to c omp l y a with the application of Government, th e s i ngle dissentiont'may refuse, and he cannot in such case 0 be required to travel a singl e ste p be y o nd the strict line of duty for which he had con tracted. Under such circumstances, then, the matter lies km a nutshell. here is a body of trained men whose services during an emergency may be of vital importance to the community. They may be most desirous f rendering these services, and yet through a taic 4 ‘ 1 mere form their voluntary offers cannot be ac cepted. This appears too ridiculous for sober discussion. When all that could be required is that the men should be allowed to respond to any application to volunteer services that might be peculiarly advantageous to the country at this moment, it would be hard indeed to be compelled to refuse them—to chill the glow of enthusiasm in their hearts, and reject the proffers honestly and heartily made. It may be said that these men may, if they thi n k proper, volunteer into the line ; and that thus their desire to render important services may at any moment be gratified. But this is not a fair way of regarding the matter. It totally dis penses with the esprit du corps, which may be felt by a militiaman as well as by one of the regular army, and which, in our opinion, it is most de sirable to cultivate. When the men know their officers, and the officers know their men, much may be accomplished. The mutual respect and kindliness is peculiarly beneficial. As an Irish soldier declared under very peculiar circumstances, "It was a comfort even to be cursed by his own officer." .And strange as the sentiment may appear, it was one that did honour to both parties, implying the utmost devotion on the part of the more humble individual when he preferred even the censure, very energetically expressed, of the man he loved, and from whom he could bear any thing, however galling. Now they should be allowed to serve qud militia, without changing their character, or re linquishing—save for the time being—their pe culiar privileges. This would be doubly valuable —valuable so far as the militia are concerned, and also as to the line. It would teach them to know each other, and soften ani mosities and heart•burnings that have pre vailed in byegone days, and are still likely to prevail. Tho services, side by side and shoulder to shoulder, under arduous circumstances, will be particularly valuable in this respect. The Militia should be more cultivated than it is at present. It is a constitutional force, in which the men while acting as soldiers do not forgot that they are 'citizens ; and, while practising the arts of war, do not disregard their peaceful avocations. Let us then look to the militia, not merely as a means of recruiting the line, but also of assisting it (with their own assent) should a suitable oppor tunity offer. By so doing we shall effect an im portant purpose without violating a single consti tutional maxim. We could not but with pleasure find ourselves supported in all our chief positions by a gentle man of such genius and vast practical knowledge as the Hon. Member for Aylesbury. Mr. LAvAßD'ecreed is, like our own, that the fons et origo mali has been throughout the constitution of the Cabinet. "It includes representatives of all the political parties in this country, from a repre sentative of the Holy Alliance to a representative of the extreme of Liberalism." To this we owe the grand mischief of an indefinite •and a hand to-mouth policy ; and to this again all the series of performances too late for the occasion, be ginning with Malta, Besika Bay, and Sinope, and ending with huts and clothing too late for the winter. To this, too, probably we owe almost entirely the boon of the fruits of OMER PACHA'S victories to Austria, and a treaty with her which, so far as we know from the lips of Lord J. RUSSELL, leaves her still at liberty to. serve herself and Russia, at the cost to us of fresh Inkermans. With us he also strongly insists that it was fatuity, while purposing to attack Sebastopol, to allow the granaries and stores of Odessa to remain un touched. Just returned from the scene of action, he draws a striking picture of preventible mis haps, losses, arid sufferings, which, if they enhance the glory of our troops by the difficulties amid which their victories were won, yet increase cur distress for the loss of so many noble and bravo victims whose lives might have been spared. In Mr. LAYARD'S works on the East nothing struck us more when perusing them than his mar vellous tact fur e f fective diplomacy. He, a solitary excursionist, saw through those with whom he had to do, both Arab tribes and their chiefs, with the intuition of genius. He had his definite pur pose with them, and he quickly left those in the lurch who thwarted it, and pressed all the rest into his service. We cannot be surprised, therefore, that he should feel even more strongly than we do that bold and able diplomacy would never have seen Austria in the Provinces except as the actual coad jutor of the Allies, and would certainly not have failed to use Polish aid to the very uttermost. Mr. LAYIRD is not an adviser whom the Govern ment can afford to despise ; they silenced his mo tions last Session, and the only fault we have to find with him is, that he would be silenced ; but they must remember that the country will look upon him now not only as a practical counsellor of unusual ability, but as a man furnished with actual knowledge of our armies and the East. As might be expected, the Hon. Member deems it absolutely necessary to a stable peace that Poland should be reconstituted. "In Asia, next spring, we shall be unable to cope with Russia. The question of Poland is the real question. It is in Europe that we must check the advance of Russia—in Asia it will be useless to attempt it. It is only by establishing an inde pendent nation in the centre of Europe that we can at all hope to prevent Russia pushing forward her ambitious views in the midst of Europe." To such opinions we, of course, cor dially subscribe, and are truly gratified that on the first might of this sessions the name of Poland has been pronounced in the British Senate by one whose judgment is entitled to the respect of all. We quite agree with the speaker that when Russia threatened to pass the Pruth, the only courses were to forbid that, or to allow Russia to be mistress of Turkey, or to make up our minds to a vast struggle of which the issue, and th e safeguard against its recurrence, should be a re stored and independent Poland. We hope his appeal to the patriotism of the great Whig states man of the House will not be in vain. The country cannot easily believe that he and the old friend of the CZAR, with his Peelite colleagues, have like aspirations for European liberty an d like aversion to despots. TO TEE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR, —During the last war, Westminster was repre sented by a civilian, whose patriotism earned for him the laudation of being " England's Pride and West minster's glory, Sir Francis Burdett." The present war gives Westminster the distinguished privilege of perpetuating this splesdid landation, " England's pride and Westminster's glory, Sir De Lacy Evans." I beg you will notice this allusion. 13th Dee., 1854. PALACE YARD. CABINET COUNCIL.—A Cabinet Council was held yes terday afternoon at the Foreign-office, Downing-street. The Ministers sat two hours and a half. ROYAL VISIT TO EATON HALL.—We have every rtheaesoßnoytaol family beheve that her most gracious Majesty and ster with a visit to wi E ll a h to o n no H ur a t ll he earl l y ar n g e u x i t s J of un l C V .— est C n ite n s: ter Chronicle. The gentlemen of the long robe will yet reap a harvest in the affairs of the late Thomas Dickinson, Esq. of ti-PPer Holloway, who, it will be remembered, left 10,000/. to Miss betty I Cemni, his housekeeper, and large sums to charities. The suit is Richardson v. Ruabridger, THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE' S THANKS TO HIS DIVISION. The Duke of Cambridge, writing on board the Retribution, in Balaklava harbour, to Colonel Rey nardson, in command of the brigade of Guards, says : " I am personally most grateful to both officers and men for their noble conduct in the battle of the Inker man, and I feel confident their services will be duly appreciated by the country and the army. " Where all distinguished themselves so much it would be both impossible and wrong to name any one in par ticular. " Most deeply do I deplore the heavy loss the brigade sustained ; but the victory gained has been most im portant, and the enemy himself sustained a loss he will not easily forget. " I wish you all health and happiness during my period of absence from you. "GEORGE." The above was read to the brigade by order of his Royal Highness. THE LATE .LIEUT.-COLONEL COWELL. The private accounts which we are daily receiving from the seat of war enable us frequently to supply more particular notices of those who have fallen in the service of their Queen and country. Where all have distinguished themselves, it is difficult to designate indi vidual merit ; yet we would not willingly pass over the name of Lieut.-Colonel Murray Cowell, among the killed at the battle of Inkerman, without a brief tribute to his gallantry in the field and to his many private virtues. A soldier's son and grandson, he was thesthird of his family who held a high rank in the Coldstream Guards, his career having commenced at the early age of 12 as page of honour to his Sovereign. He had re turned to England from the camp at Varna, on his pro motion ; and on being ordered again to the East, and finding no means of passage immediately ready, he had gone out at his own charges, eager to rejoin his brothers in arms. On the day of the battle of the itit of Novem ber his duties placed him on picket in the trenches ; but, finding his regiment hard pressed, and that his ser ♦ices might be available, he unhesitatinglyjoined his gal lant comrades, and led that portion of the Coldstreams which he commanded repeatedly against the enemy, and was mortally wounded while conducting the assault on a redoubt which the Russians had taken. Immediately on receiving the fatal wound he was supported to the camp, and making light of it asked a wounded brother officer to go on beard ship with him. The injury proved much more serious than he was aware of, or would admit, and he was taken to the hospital, where he expired a few hours after the extraction of the ball. Nearly his last words were :—" I hope I have done my duty—at least, I die a soldier's death." Such was the end of a gallant young soldier ; he was just 30 years of ago— no less fitted to adorn social life by his virtues and accom plishments than brave and devoted to his professional duties. DEATH OF LIE UT. THISTLETH IVAYTE, SCOTS FUSILIER GUARDS. We regret to have to announce the death of Lieut. Arthur Henry Thistlethwayte, of the Scots Fusilier Guards, from fatigue, at Constantinople. This pro mising young officer was the youngest son of the late Thomas Thistlethwayte, Esq., of Southwick Park, Hants, by his second wife, Tryphena, daughter of the late Henry Bathurst, Lord Bishop of Norwich. He dis tinguished himself by his bravery at the battle of the Alma, where he carriei the colours of his regiment, which were pierced by innumerable bullets. After having suffered from a severe attack of cholera, he re tired for a short period on board ship, but returned to the camp in time to share the dangers of the memorable battle of Inkerman. His health again failing, a medical board directed him to proceed to Scutari for its recovery, and, shortly after his arrival at Constantinople, he sank from the effects of exhaustion. Mr. Thistlethwayte was beloved by his follow-officers, and he ha■ died regretted by all who knew him. OYSTRIA AND THE SHELLS. Our friend Punch has an admirable illustration of the victimised clients and the very impartial lawyer with the oyster and the shells. The " red" Emperor of Austria is represented as holding in either hand " a treaty," which in his right he holds out to the benignant but inquisitive Queen of England, while on his left the doubting and rather indignant Brother of France leans forward with an air of " What do you mean by that, you bow legged impostor ?"—" All husks and no corn ! you have taken the wind out of both our sails and filled your own 1" We wonder how long the modern Omar will be allowed to shuffle in stays for the benefit of the Czar and his own advantage ? COURT OIRCITLAR. WINDSOR, DEC. 13. The dinner party, yesterday, included her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, Lady Fanny Howard, Baroness de Speth, and Colonel Francis H. Seymour. Tho Queen, accompanied by the Princess Helena and Louisa, walked in the Castle grounds and gardens this morning. His 'loyal Highness Prince Albert went out shooting. Culonel ChaHoner had the honour to accompany th• Prince. Earl Granville and Lord Churchill have been in vited, and are expected this afternoon, Earl Spencer, Lord Steward of the Household, arrived to-day, and had an audience of her Majesty to present the Address from the House of Lords, is answer to-the Speech from the Throne. His lordship afterwards re turned to London. The Cathedral Commission met at No. 1, New-street, Spring-gardens, yesterday. The commissioners pre sent were the Marquis of Blandford, M.P., the Bishop of London, the Bishop of Oxford, the Hon. and Rev. H. M. Villiers, Sir John Dodson, Sir John Patteson, the Rev. Canon Selwyn, and Mr. Henry Kingscote (seere tary). DEATH OP LADY MAROARET WALPOIL—At this crisis, when the presence of every constitutional states man is so much needed in Parliament, we regret to re cord the demise of the above venerable lady, the parent of the right hon. member for Midhurst. She expired on Tuesday, at her seat in Surrey, after a short illness, from which, notwithstanding her advanced age, it was hoped, up to that morning, she would recover. She was the only surviving sister of that lamented statesman the Right Hon. Spencer Perceval. John Carr, Esq., of Roseworth, and John Straker, Esq., of Tynemouth, qualified and took the oaths as Justices of the Peace for the county of Northumber land, at the adjourned sessions at Morpeth, on Thursday last. The number of ♦essels arrived yesterday in the Thames was 8 from foreign ports and 109 colliers. There were none from Ireland. Tux IRISH MILITIA.—Nine Irish militia regiments are to be embodied as fast as they are enrolled. A GERMAN LEGION.—A body of Germans are to be enlisted and trained in England, like our old German legion in the old war. • THE MILITIA.—It is understood that the first three regiments of militia that will proceed on foreign service are the Monmouthshire, the East Essex Rifles, and the South Staffordshire, they having volunteered some time since.

NAVAL AIDES-DE•CAHP TO THE QUEBN.—Some papers t p ; er h aa Go vernmentn the s are circulating a statement that Captains Graham, C. 8., and Sir Baldwin Walker have been appointed aides•de camp to the Queen. These officers were appointed so far back as Dec. 5, 1853, and July 17, 1354. Since then Captains Townshend (1834), Lord George Paulet (1833), Lord Edward Russell (1833), and H. J. Cod risgton, C.B. (1836), have been appointed to vsavansies. BRAUHONT INSTITUTION, MILE-END.—A concert took place on Monday evening, which caused the spacious hall to be crowded to inconvenience. The vocalists were Mr. and Mrs. Silas Reeves, and Madame Anna Thilloo, together with Miss Clara Henderson and Mr. Wallworth. The great tenor was in excellent voice and humour, and, in " England and Victory," excited a complete furore. Madame Thillon is evidently an immense favourite "down east," and was rapturously encored in all her songs. We were highly pleased with the performance of a young Academician, whom we never heard before, but trust to hear again and often Mr. C. Hirst a pianist of ex ceeding delicacy of touch and facility of execu tion. Mr. Hirst is evidently a perfect master of the pianoforte, and plays with refined taste and expression, abstaining from those startling assaults on the keys of the instrument and the nerves of the bearers in which many professors take but too much delight. He was cordially and deservedly applauded, and may justly anti, cipate a large amount of public favour. The entire en tertainment passed off in a manner most gratifying to the numerous members and friends of that institution. WARM CLOTHING FOR THE Taoors.—At the request of several ladies of Edinburgh, who are at present en gaged in collecting supplies of warm clothing for the troops in the East, a communication was addressed to the Adjutant-General on the Ist inst., wishing to know if such would be of any use. The following rep l y has been received : —" Horse Guards, Dec. 4, 1854. Sir, —Having submitted to the General Commanding-m- Ceief your letter of the lst inst., I am commanded to express to you his lordship's great gratification at the warm and patriotic interest shown by the ladies to whom you refer, for the welfare of the British troops now in the Crimea. Tile quantity of warm clothing already sent, and still being continually shipped, is, however, so very large as to render unnecei. , ary at present the services so patriotically offered by the ladies of Edin burgh. Should it be found desirable for the interests of the public service, at some future period, to turn to the private source of provision. which you so kindly and humanely propose, I will do myself the honour of again communicating with you on the subject.—l am, &C., , Keith, Secretary,"----Edinburgh, Courant. LATEST INEWS. THE SIEGE OF S EBA STOPOL. Pious, WEDNESDAY. The Moniteur publishes despatches from Bu charest, dated December 11.„ Omer Pacha had loft the day before for Varna to embark troops for the Crimea. Only 19 bat talions remained behind. On the 7th instant, four Prench regiments, and numerous reinforcements, lad arrived at the Allied camp. A great movement from, the South to the Northern side was remarked. The place was almost completely invested. The Con stitv t ionitel publishing the games de spatch says "four English regiments." THE BALTIC FLEET. NYBORG, TUESDAY AFTERNOON. The Edinburgh, with Admiral Chads and the squadron, has just arrived from the Baltic, and passed through the Great Belt without anchoring. The weather is moderate, THE HAGUE, WEDNESDAY. In last night's sitting this Second Chamber re meted the budget of marine expenditure by a ma- jority of 36 to 26. The resignation of the Ailinister of Marine is therefore probable. DENMARK. COPENHAGEN, WEDNESDAY. The following is a more complete, list of the new Ministry than I was kenabled to forward to you yesterday : Count Mollie, Prime Mi sister.

The Austrian Lloyds' steamer Calcutta arrived here at five a.m., in 108 hours from Alexandria. ALEXANDRIA, DEC. 8. The Indian and China mails leave here this day with advices from Calcutta to the Bth Nov., Madras 12th Nov., Shanghai 11th Oct., Amoy 22d Oct., Hong Kong 28th Oct., Canton 27th Oct., and Bombay 14th Nov. Lord F. Fitzclarence, Commander in-Chief at Bombay, is dead. An envoy from Kahan, and one from Dost Mo hamed, have arrived in Peshawur, for assistance from the British Ggvernment against the Russians. The Affghan chief has decided on an English in preference to a Russo-Persian alliance. Lord Elphinstone is at Bombay, suffering from the effect of a sun-stroke. Trado in India is dull, and money scarce. Exchange at Calcutta, ls. The.price of opium has declined to Rs. 628 per chest, being a fall of R. 400 in less than a year. The Governor-General, who is now at Calcutta, will leave for the Nalgherries in March. Trade in China was dull. Exchange at Canton, 4s. Bd. Very little business was being done in teas. The patriot cause is gaining ground in North China. THE CRIMEA. A. letter from Sebastopol of the 25th ult., in the Moniteur de la Flotte, says—" Two Russian de serters were yesterday brought to camp. One came from the town, where he said hunger and thirst prevailed, and. many persons died. From the de scription which he gave of the illne ss preva ili ng d other cameaubt from whether it was plgue or cholera. the camp of men_ , Reinforcements are arr i ving there, but without e se properme clothes and with out provisions. f t c h i r ko ff. The The distress is such that many would be delighted to desert to the French, who are said to be well supplied with all things, but Menschikoff, like a prudent man, has had all the issues guarded by a line of Cossack horsemen, and such deserters as are taken are condemned to be bastinadoed to death. In spite of that, scarcely a day passes without some deserters arriving in our camp." PRINCE MENSCIHKOF F'S FAILURE . A letter from Berlin says that Prince Menschi koff's having given in at Inkerrnan when the day was not near spent (though h is i nfantry was) has not been viewed with indulgent ,i eyes in St. Peters burg,sTto att ac k a strong the less so that Gen.

On the o ccas i on o f t h e s i gn al victories gained in these latter times, with hearts full of joy, we assembled in our churches, and addressed thanks to Divine Provi- dence, praying at the same time for the continuation to the end of such events, as well as for an extended rei nand length of lif e to Our beloved monarch." Resohid Paella replied as follows : " I have taken cognizance of the contents of the ad dress which your Eminence has just presented to me, relative to the joy which the Armenian community has felt at the victories obtain3d by the assistance of Di v i ne rrovidence, and t o the pu bli c prayers which it has offered up for the triumph of the Imperial arms. The eagerness shown by the community of the Armenians, your co. religionists, faithful subjects of the Sultan, to express on this occasion their gratitude, furnishes another proof of their devotedness and fidelity to the Imperial govern ment, and of the sentiments of constant gratitude which they feel towards it for the high favours of which they have been the object en the part of leis Imperial Majesty. I have, is consequence, to express to you the high sat s faction of our august Sovereign, to whom your address has been submitted, and to inform you of his Imperial order to have it inserted in the State Journal and in the Dfcrido Havadis." TIDE PRINCIPALITIES. A letter from Bucharest states that a Turkish commissariat office has been established in that place for the purpose of paying for all the supplies furnished to the Ottoman army.

RUSSIA. The Lloyd of Vienna contains a letter from Kalisch, of the 7th, which says :—" It is not yet known what winter-quarters will be taken by the two divisions Labinzoff and Szepelieff of the corps of Paniutin, which have remained be hind. It appears beyond a doubt that the troops of the guard and the grenadiers, as well as those of the first division of infantry, will pass the win ter 'in Poland, with the reserves. That results also from the numerous supplies which are com manded ; the cavalry, above all, are numerous in Poland. The news of the augmentation of the battalions of Finnish sharpshooters is confirmed. This augmentation proves that the Czar will not readily yield to conditions of peace, and he could not well do so, were he inclined, for the people are greatly moved by fanaticism." PRUSSIA. BERLIN, DEC. 11. Rumours of a distressing nature relative to the health of the Empress of Russia have been bruited abroad to-day, and it was believed that the Court festivities would be countermanded ; but although the last telegraphic accounts furnish cause for great anxiety, no immediate danger is appre hended. Tho Court festivities will therefore not be interrupted. The Krcutz Zeitung of this evening states that as a new sense (meaning the interpretations) has beengiven to the four points "unreservedly accepted by the Czar," Prussia, consistently with her previous official declarations, cannot demand more from Russia ; or, in other words, that Prussia must remain neutral or join Russia. Did it depend on the dominant party, the latter course would forthwith be adopted. The King of Prussia was seized with a slight in disposition on the 7th, and has not since left his apartments. He, however, continues to receive the reports of his Ministers as usual. The Correspondence of Berlia states that up to this moment there appears no disposition on the part of Prussia to accede to tie treaty of the 2d. Bavaria suggests a conference of the Secondary Powers to consider of negotiations in the sense of peace. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, DEC. 10. According to telegraphic advices from Frank fort, which the _Austrian Correspondence of this evening publishes, we are informed that at yester day's sitting of the Federal Assembly, the adhesion of the Bund to the additional article of the treaty of the 20th April was unanimously resolved upon, and that, in virtue of the same concurrence, the propositions which Austria and Prussia conjointly brought forward, in reference hereto, were adopted as a federal resolution. This intelligence will doubtless everywhere be received with feelings of unfeigned satisfaction. The conclusion of the triple alliance of the 2d inst., between Austria, France, and England, seems to have caused some unfore seen delay. The above resolutions of the Bund were to have been adopted by the Federal As sembly two days earlier, that is, on the 7th inst. The respective ratifications of the treaty of al liance between Austria, France, and England, will ho exchanged here to-morrow. FRANCE. PARIS, WEDNESDAY. The following private telegraphic despatches have been received : " VIENNA, DEC. 12. "A report is current that Prince Gortschakoff, on hearing of the embarkation at Varna of fresh troops for the Crimea, manifested an intention of leaving this city." " VIENNA, DEC. 12. "The puliication of the Lloyd journal has been suspended for an indefinite period, in consequence of its attacks against the German Governments. His Royal Highness the Duke of Brabant arrived at Pola the day before yesterday." A letter from Marseilles, of the 12th, says "The Indian?. left on Saturday, with 170 officers, 1,016 men, and 28 horses on board. The Nubia transport left yesterday, having on board 17 offi cers, 1,093 men, 24 horses, 3 tons of powder, 207 tons of artillery stores, and some camp equipage." A letter from Odessa, addressed to a merchant at Cracow, states that the tempest of the 14th ult. occasioned considerable damage to Russian ship ping. Thirty-five merchant vessels, with valuable cargoes on board, were driven on shore in the port of Berdjansk, in the Sea of Azoff. Five of them were totally lost. The port itself was much in jured ; some of the piers were washed away, and the town was almost inundated. The speech delivered by Queen Victoria at the opening of Parliament is naturally the great subject of conversation here. Every one remarks that her Majesty does not say one word of peace in her ad dress to the two houses, but, on the contrary, speaks of " prosecuting the war with the utmost vigour and effect." This plain, straightforward language, so much in unison with the character of the English people, appears to give satisfaction amongst all parties here. The Queen of England, it is justly observed, has neither dissembled the greatness of the war in which she has engaged in concert with France, nor the difficulties of the enterprise. It is also remarked that from the manner in which Queen Victoria has spoken of the treaty of December 2, that treaty must be already ratified, and that consequently it will soon be laid before the public. The manner also in which her Majesty, in speaking of the brilliant victories in the Crimea, pays a just tribute to the courage and gallant conduct of the French troops, has given the greatest satisfaCtion here. A letter from Lyons, dated yesterday, says— " The army of that place was about to march to the Austrian territory, and thence to co-operate with the Austrian troops in Bessarabia." It further states that a brigade of cavalry was about to leave Lyons • for Vienna, with the same object. It is affirmed that the French army in the Crimea will be increased to 12 divisions, or about 120,000 men, which, with the English and Turkish reinforcements, will raise the total force to 200,000 men. The Gazette du Midi, of the 12th, states that M. Leon Faucher, formerly Minister of the Inte rior to the President of the Republic, VMS seized with typus fever when passing through Marseilles on his way to Hy ere for the benefit of his health, and was forced to stop short on his journey. His malady was considered to be attended with consi derable danger. Several officers of the English army, on their way to the Crimea, arrived in Paris yesterday morning. Some of them, who were walking on the Boulevards in their undress uniform, excited the most lively interest, and many persons saluted them as they passed in a way to show how warmly they approved of the alliance between the two na tions. After dining in Paris, the officers left in the evening for Marseilies. The following extracts from a journal of the siege of Sebastopol are taken from the Constitutionnet : " Nov. 19.—The temperature is very favourable, and resembles that of our latter end of October. An English non-commissioned officer has deserted to the enemy, and the riflemen of the advanced posts have received orders to single him out ; they will perhaps succeed in inflict ing on the scoundrel the chastisement his infamous treason deserves. We are still actively engaged in arming new batteries and in the lines of eircumvallation and contravallation. The siege batteries are not, as might be believed, destined to make a breach ; there is no breach to make in earthworks ; and as to the wall, which in conjunction with these earthworks form the enceinte, it can be knocked down when required. But what is attempted is to ruin an artillery which is formidable and instantly replaced, as that, for example, of the flag-staff bastion, the left front of which has been supplied with fresh cannon this morning. " Nov. 20.—The total number of disasters of the sad 14th is beginning to be known ; my figures vary at pre ' sent from 30 to 50 vessels lost, or more or less damaged. Hopes are entertained of getting off the Henri IV. Colonel Magnan has been one of the victims of the tempest. He was thrown down by the wind, and, al though he was on foot, he had a leg broken. He is receiving medical care in one of the villages in the environs of Balaklava • in this village the suspicious part of the population of that town has been stationed under the surveillance of a post of gendarmes ; these people are in the greatest misery, and have nothing to live on except the bread which we distribute to them. " Nov. 21.—Up to this day the daily service in the trenches, not including the affair of the sth, has caused the two allied armies 3,000 men hors de combat. But the number of dead bodies does not exceed 400, and amongst the wounded a great many will be again fit for service.' BOURSE, WEDNESDAY.—CLOSING PRICES. Cash. fr. c.

It appears by remarks made in the States-Gene ral of Holland that the Government there has sent steamers to the Baltic for the purpose of towing Dutch ships, laden, with grain and detained bycvn, trary winds. In November 175 vessels charged with corn passed the Great Belt, and 15 with other merchandise. The 'number of ships which went through the Sound to th© Baltic was 85 from the Netherlands, and from the Baltic to the North Sea 83. In November, at the single port of Schiedam, 110 grain laden vessels arrived, mostly from the Baltic. A great number of Dutch ships were freighted at the northern ports of Europe for Eng land, France, and other countries, and the Dutch Government has used every exertion to keep down the pricos of food by obtaining timely supplies. GREECE. A letter from the PirLeus, dated the 27th ult., says : The cholera is raging at this moment at Athens with great violence. The inhabitants, who had begun to return to the capital, are again flying in all directions. The Greek garrison has been attacked with the malady. General Kalergi has demanded of Admiral de Tinan the hospital orderlies belonging to the Marines. The Admiral has granted the request. ITALY. The Parlament° of TUrin quotes a letter from Naples, confirming the fact of the disgrace of the Jesuits, though it does not go the length of stating that they are to quit the kingdom. The corre spondent states that an article, considered offensive by the Government of the Two Sicilies, appeared short time ago in the Civitta Catholica, the organ of the Jesuits, which is published at Rome. The Neapolitan Government immediately caused 2,000 copies of the paper to he seized at the frontier, and prohibited the further introduction of the Civitta into the kingdom. Monsignor Apuzzo, the Mi nister of Public Instruction, well known for his partittlity to the Jesuits, was directed to proceed to Runic, and demand satisfaction of the General of the Jesuits for the article inserted in the Civitta. But he having refused to comply, his resignation was accepted ; and several Jesuits, who held pro fessorships in various establishments of public in struction, have since been dismissed. There, ac cording to this letter, the matter rests for the present. THE MEDITERRANEAN. MARSEILLES, Dec. 12.—The embarkation of troops and military stores is continued with an activity and on a more extensive scale than at any period since the commencement of the war. The French Government appears to be determined to make up for lost time. The Ileums, new screw line of battle ship, has arrived from Toulon. She is anchored at the islands of the Frioul, at the opposite side of the bay, and will take 1,500 troops to the Crimea, beside a considerable quan tity of ammunition, which she has on board. The mail steam. packet Gange sailed yesterday for Con etantinople, having 400 of the 56th Regiment on board. splendid ship Nutia, belonging to the Peninsular and Oriental Company, likewise sailed yeetertlay, taking 1,150 men, 24 horses, and 350 tons of provisions for the army in the Crimea. It is universally admitted that the Nubia could not have sailed for ten (lays later, but for the unre mitting exertions of Messrs. Robert Gower, the agents of the Company, and Captain Engledue, their superintendent, who came specially to Mar seilles to inspect the embarkation. Nothing could exceed his attention to the comforts of the troops and his anxiety to provide them comfortable quar ters. The war steamer Constitution is in the port of the Joliette, receiving troops for the Black Sea. The weather unfortunately is unfavourable for those operations. We have been visited with constant storms for several days past, accompanied by tor rents of rain. The captain of the Cairo, from Con stantinople, which arrived here four days behind liar time, says that Thursday night last was the severest night he ever passed at sea. The mail steamer front Algiers, duo hero on the 7th, has not yet arrived. Three of the sailing transports laden with artillery horses, which cleared out from this port 15 days since, have been forced to take re fuge in the island of Sardinia, in a damaged state, and a friend who arrived from Leghorn yesterday saw others in a similar condition at the island. of Elba. The mail steamer Thabor, which ar rived here on Saturday, was detained at Constan tinople, by the French Minister, until the Ist inst., to take despatches. The private letters received by her, from the Crimea, of the 26th ult., state that the position of the Allied armies had been considerably strengthened, that new batteries had been erected, and that the engineers only waited a signal from the Commanders-in-Chief to re commence the fire with 146 guns of various sizes. The heavy rains had somewhat distressed the troops. The French army, which consisted of 8 divisions, would, by the reinforcements daily ex pected, be increased to 12. It is believed at Con stantinople that Marshal Baragumy d'Hilliers will return there as ambassador ; Ahmed-Wefik- Effeudi, the Turkish Ambassador to the Court of Persia, had arrived at Constantinople, which fact was considered as an indication that a good understanding continued to exist between the two Governments. 2,200 Egyptian troops had arrived at Constantinople, and 5,000 more were expected. Brigadier-General Larcher had likewise to take the command of the French troops at Constantinople, Varna, and Galli poli, in place of General de Failly, who has re turned to the Crimea. All the European Generals and officers attached to the army of Kars have been recalled to Constantinople. A private letter from Bucharest, of the 22d, states that Omer Pacha, in reply to an order to attack the Russians in Bessarabia, had addressed a letter to the Minister of War, complaining that, by the negligence of the authorities, his army is defi cient in shoes, winter coats, and even cartouche boxes ; neither had they received any pay. M. Gouin, the Postmaster of Marseilles, has just published a notice, announcing that, from the 11th inst., the mails for Constantinople, by way of Messina, will be despatched every Monday, at 3 p.m., and will arrive at Marseilles from Constan tinople every Tuesday, at 5 a.m. The mails for Constantinople via Malta will be despatched every Thursday, at 10 a.m., and will arrive at Marseilles for Constantinople every Saturday, at 3 p.m. THE BALTIC FLEET. KIEL, DEC. 9. The detached squadron under the command of Captain Watson has begun to make its appearance. The Dragon arrived yesterday morning, and was soon followed by the Imperieuse, between which vessel and the Edinburgh, with Admiral Chads' flag, the usual salutes were exchanged. The and Rosamond only are still expected, and they aro supposed to be close at hand. A large portion of the squadron, consisting of the Arrogant, Ananhion, Archer, Cruiser, &c., have proceeded to Elsinore, and will there receive their orders as to their destination in England. The Imperieuse and Euryalus proceed to Spithead ; and the Dragon, Basilisk, Vulture, and Rosamond go hence to •Croinarty Frith for the double pur pose of giving protection to the Scotch coast and of acting as receiving-ships for volunteers from among the sailors and hardy fishermen of that dis trict. After their departure the Edinburgh sails for Leith road, so that the inhabitants of the city from which she derives her name will, after the in terval of many years, again see an Admiral's flag flying in the Frith of Forth. Sir Charles Napier has recommended that all surplus stores should he left under the charge of the British Vice-Consul here, so as to be ready for any ships that may need them at the opening of the navigation. Something more than this, however, will be required ; and, as you have so well and Successfully shown the necessity of providing adequate 'supplies for the army and fleet in the Black Sea, it is to be hoped that you will equally demonstrate what should in this re spect be done next season in the Baltic. After a long peace there is an evident deficiency on the part of officials in England in their knowledge of what is wanted in the time of war, as well as of the pro per mode of conveying and distributing the requi site supplies. This, it is to be hoped, will soon teach them, but in the meantime hintsssels, the subject may prove useful. Many of th t e il v l e to be both large and small, whose names are ands experience which fonnd in the list of the British navy, are otherwise now of little use, in this and employed as store transports and the u first instance other Baltic ports.

There are many t o h a o l r s oshould ore naval officers on half-pay, although not now quali fied for active duties afloat, whose services could be most usefully availed of in this manner, and the benefit I • be derived from this arrangement would soon become manifest. An efficient victual ling staff on the spot would also be advantageous, of which ample evidence could be obtained from the officers of the fleet which has just left this ex cellent anchorage. There is much to be done in the Baltic as well as in the Black Sea, and neither must be neglected if the war is to be carried to a I successful termination. THE DOUBLE MURDER IN WARREN- STREET. ADJOURNED INQUEST.-(THIS DAY.) This morning, shortly after eleven o'clock, Mr. Wak ley, assisted by Mr. Brent, the deputy-coroner, resumed the inquest upon the two bodies of Mr. George Moore and Mr. Charles Collard, who were murdered, on Fri day evening last, by Emanuel Barthelemy. It will be recollected that, upon the last inquiry, the proceedings were adjourned to enable the jury to wait upon Lord. Palmerston, to endeavour, if possible, to prevail upon him to allow the prisoner to be present at these proceed ißgs. Upon the jury having re-assembled and answered to their names, Mr. Linton, the foreman, stated that, acting upon the suggestion given to them at the first meeting, a deputation of the jurors sworn yesterday waited upon Mr. Bingham, the magistrate, and told him the purport of their visit, and that gentleman told them that he had not the power to order the prisoner to be brought up before this court. They then went to the Howe-office, but failed in seeing either Lord Palmerston or his private secretary, Mr. Clifford, they being en gaged, but they did see Mr. Waddington, who said that his lordship would be most happy to assist them, but all he could do was to give them a notice, that he had no objection to the prisoner being brought up at the coro ner's inquest. They then waited upon Sir Rich. Mayne, who said the only power he had was to move the pri soner under the orders of the committing magistrate, and could not assist them, although he had every wish to assist them ; but he thought the ends of justice, in this instance, would not suffer from the absence of the party charged at the coroner's inquest. Mr.Wakley, having made some remarks upon the ex isting state of the law upon this point, said they must endeavour to do their best without having the accused before them. • Charlotte Bennett, the servant, was then called, and stated that she had been examined at Marlborough street Police-court upon Saturday, and there saw under charge a raan who gave the name of Emanuel Barthelemy. That was the man who shot my master. She then went on to repeat the statements which have already ap peared, adding that she let Barthelemy in ; she did not know whether it was a man or a woman who was with him ; the party was dressed like a woman ; she would not know the party, as she did not seo her face. My master was the last of the three who came out of the room into the passage after I heard the scuffle. My master was pushing the man at the time the pistol was fired. She then gave evidence of the prisoner having shut her out, and himself and the woman into the house. I cannot recollect her dress. She appeared about 30 years of age ; she was rather stouter than me (the wit ness is about the middle height). She was dressed in dark clothing, and I think she had a straw bonnet on, She had a " fall " over it. Inspector Checkley here said that they should not be misled by any misstatement which the witness might make as they knew who the woman was. The Inspector then produced a woman's cloak which had been found in the parlour; it was brown cloth trimmed with black satin ribbon, and small black satin buttons. The pistol, broken life preserver, and other things al— ready produced at the police-court, were here produced, and handed round to the jury. William Henry Madden proved the capture of the man, and identity of that man as the prisonerßarthelemy t whom he saw at Marlborough-street. William Mosely, painter, 9, Market-street, Fitairoy square, said he was in the New-road on Friday night, about a quarter before nine. Ho had just turned oat of Warren-street, when he heard the report, of the fist pistol. Saw Mr. Moore's door open, And a man and woman come out on the steps. The woman fell against the gate, which stopped the man from getting out, and he went back and shut the door, bolting it after him. The servant girl (who was the woman that came out) said she thought her master was shot. Witness said, "Break open the door." Collard had then come out of his shop. The servant girl said, " Go round into the New-road, or he will get out that way." Witness then ran round, precede , / by Collard, and upon getting round, saw the man (wh• had shot Collard) grappling with him. Col lard said, " For God's sake, lay hold of him, as he has got something in his hand." Witness and Collard bad hold of him, with his arms pinioned, in a stooping posi tion, and in that position he fired the pistol, and Collard instantly fell. He then broke from witnesse's grasp, and ran away followed by witness until he saw Maldren step him. The man ran away, again and witness continued to follow him until a man named Coates ran across the road, and the man was secured. That man was the one I have seen at the Marlborough-street Police Court. George Cope, of Grafton-street East, metal pipe maker, proved hearing the report of the pistol, and rushing on to a man who was running away, pursued by the last witness, and securing him. The police-constable Munday, 33 S, proved the prisoner being given into his custody, and also having found the things produced. In answer to the Coroner, Inspector eheckley said that they had found out the residence of the accused at Chelsea ; but at present it would tend to frustrate the ends of justice if more were said about it. The inspector further added that an impression had gone abroad that there had been another man concerned in the murder, and that the supposed. woman was a man-in woman's clothes. such was not the case. He had aseertained that the accused had gone to Mr. Moore's with two cloaks and two hats, and that the woman bad made her escape the back way in one of the cloaks and hats. One of the hats had been found at the accused's lodgings at Chelsea. After some medical evidence, Mr. Wakley asked if any one had ever heard the accused threaten Mr. Moore. Inspector Checkley said no one had, and it was evi dent that the accused and the woman had been treated by the deceased, Mr. Moore, upon friendly terms, as there were three glasses found upon the table after the occurrence, and a corkscrew with the cork upon it. The cork was stained with blood, which, in his opinion, arose from the fact of deceased having been struck at the moment after he had drawn the cork. Some ginger-beer was found in one of the-glasses. It watt also stated that no property had been taken, and there was a total absence of any motive upon the part of the murde'rer for this diabolical act. The Coroner, in summing up, remarked upon the savage character of the murder. The Jury instantly returned a verdict of wilful mur der against Emanuel Barthlemy. RE-EXAMINATION AT THE POLICE COURT. Precisely at half-past one ,the accused was placed at the bar of the Marlborough-straet police court, before Mr. Hardwick and Mr. Bingham, for re-examination. The prisoner seemed somewhat more composed. Mr. Toxall, the superintendent, having had some con versation with Mr. Hardwick, he at once ordered the prisoner to be remanded until Thursday next. THE BOROUGH OF MARYLEBONE ELECTION.—The nominr.tioa of candidates to represent the borough of Marylebone, in the place of the Lord Dudley C. Stuart, is appointed to take place on Monday next, at 12 o'clock. The only candidates now in the field are Viscount Ebrington and Mr. Jacob Bell, and both appear confi dent of success. A. MINERAL MINE IN OXFORDSHIRE. —As some work. men were a few days since cutting for a well at Fencott they discovered a stratum of excellent coal, and also a rock of superior ironstone. The latter is considered 12.10ths metal. Should such prove the case, this par of Oxfordshire will probably be the wealthiest in the country. The Dean and Chapter of Westminster are the fortunate owners of the property. MONEY ORDERS.—GENERAL POST-OFFICE, Dec,, 1854. —On an after the Ist January next the rule requiring the payment of an additional commission for a duplicate money order, or for a transfer from one office to an other, &c., will be extended to cases of alteration in the name of the remitter or payee. The payment of the additional commission must be invariably made by post age stamps transmitted with the application. The errors which often make alterations in money orders necessary may be avoided by the use of the printed forms of appli cation, which are sold at all money order offices at the rate of five for ens halfpenny ; and by the applicant always examining his order before quitting the issuing office. THE ADDRESS.—Committee appointed, "to draw up an address, to be presented to her Majesty upon the said resolution :"—Mr. Henry Herbert, Mr. Leveson Gower, Lord John Russell, Mr. Chancellor of the Ex chequer, Viscount Palmerston ' Sir George Grey, Sir 'James Graham, Sir Charles Wood, Mr. Sidney Her bert, Sir William Molesworth, Mr. Attorney-General, Mr. Solicitor-General, Sir John Young, Mr. Cardwell, the Judge Advocate, Mr. Wilson, Mr. Hayter, and Bouverio, or any five of them. The Doncaster Gazette mentions that a carpet bag, containing wearing apparel and a quantity of silver, which was lost from the Bawtry and Rotherham mail a short time ago, has been found suspended from a tree in a plantation near the spot where it is supposed to have been lost.
