Rfos7 IMPORTANT BENEFIT EVER TEE OFFERED BY T HE UNIVERSAL PROVIDENT LIFE ASSOClATlON.—Established 1849. Persons insured for • Life, who have paid three yearly premiums and upwards, can receive back their money, less the premium for 411.klaourrod—duzlag the •tianoMaey itereiv.red on-surrender of the Polley. EXAMPLE. At, aged 33, pays 141. 3s 9d. a-year fur Life for 5001, and at the end of seven years wishes to drop his Policy—he will at this time have Paid 991. 6s. 3d., and for the surrender of the Policy he would in other offices get a very little, if anything, and the premiums Would consequently be lost. The Directors of the Universal Provident, fee'ing th's to be a grew' hardship and a positive obstacle to the adoption of Life Assurance by all classes, have adopted the equitable principle of deducting the pre- I niarn for the time the risk has been incurred from the premiums Paid, and returning the balance to the parties, thus making a profit themselves without any risk. In the example above the insurance for 5 00/, for the time would have been 9/. 93. 7d. per annum, or 66/. 7, - id. this deducted from 99/. 6s. 3d. leaves 32/. 19s. 2d. to be returned.

" Gentlemen,—l have great pleasure in adding my testimony to the value of your Fireproof Saes. Last Monday night my house, warehouse, and premises were unfortunately burned down; the firs raged very fearfully for about two hours, and, owing to the great scarcity of water, the whole of nay premises and stock were consumed. " The safe I purchased of you had a most severe test, in conse quence of a carrel of brimstone standing close to it and melting with the heat of the fire, the burning lava running all over and under the safe, which great'y added to the intensity of the heat; it remained in that osition about four hours, and when with great difficulty it was got p out of the fire and opened, I found my books and papers all uninjured. " You are at liberty to make what use you please of this informa tion. "I am, gentlemen, yours respectfully " Wbf. WALKER. "Messrs. Thos. Milner and Son, 47A, Moorgate-street, London."

" Gentlemen,—l was present at the late fire which destroyed the premises of Mr. Walker, Harpenden, and was much surprised at the great amount of heat your sate resisted, and still more surprised (when it was made known to me that a barrel of sulphur stood near it) that it was not entirely destroyed. " Being anxious to see if it had been attracted by the sulphur, I scraped some of the blistered iron from the inside and outside of the safe, and, from analysis, find much sulphuret, so that it must have been greatly acted upon by the sulphur, yet the books and papers were perfectly uninjured. " I must in justice say that your safes are Invaluable, and very necessary for every one who has books and accounts of any value. " I am, Gentlemen, yours very faithfully, "F. W. SIMCOE. "Messrs.

The Algiers discharged powder and 'shell in Plymouth Sound on Monday morning, and in the afternoon was towed up liamoeze.; she was appointed to go into Keyhara Dock this (Tuesday) afternoon. The Rhadamanthus arrived yesterday at Sheerness from Portsmouth. She was detained in the Downs on Saturday for the purpose of supplying the Gladiator with 25 tons of coals, the Gladiator having at the time only six tons on board, being from the Baltic; she left the Downs on the 16th, at 8.30 p.m., for Portsmouth. On getting under way she got in collision with a merchant bark, and some slight damage was done to both ships. The Salamander, paddle-wheel steam-sloop, Commander Benjamin B. Priest, arrived at Woolwich yesterday, and, after bringing up for a short time opposite the dockyard, went down to the Royal Arsenal, where she is to take on board a largo number of shot and shells, and proceed with them to Malta and the Black Sea. ' Tho Tyne store-ship, Master-Commander Tucker, left Deptford yesterday, towed by the Widgeon paddle-wheel steam-vessel, on her way to the Island of Ascension and Rio with stores. The Janus paddle-wheel steam-vessel, shipped the gun metal screw propeller for the Algiers, 91, screw steam-ship, yesterday, at Woolwich, and immediately after left for Portsmouth and Devonport. Letters have been received at Woolwich from the Britannia, 120, flagship of the Eng lish fleet, in which it is stated that Vice-Admiral Dundas, Commander-in-Chief, had declared his determination to have a dash at Sebastopol at the earliest possible moment, and had no doubt of the success of the demonstration of the English and French fleets against that fortress. The troops and the crews of the ships of war and war steamers can scarcely restrain their enthusiasm in consequence of the prospect they have now before them of exhibiting their capabilities against the Russians. EXPEDITION TO THE CRIMEA. (Prom the Times.) It is impossible to know—it would be rash to antici fpate —the momentous events occurring in the East, which may now from day to day be brought to our knowledge by the first pulsations of the electric wires, to be enlarged and confirmed ere long by records of good or evil fortune that will take their place for ever in the .annals of our time and the history of the world. If there be any who have thought diplomatic negotiations too :long and military preparations to slow, and have longed Ito raise the evil spirits of war in swifter and more ter :rible action, such men may yet learn that, come when it will, the dreadful reality comes soon enough. Never, indeed, was a great expedition undertaken by the forces of this country which appeared to' combine so many oletnen s of success ; never did our troops go forth to battle with a juster cause, a more powerful ally, a mightier armament, or a more tangible point of attack. Be the issue of this expedition what it may, it is an ex ploit worthy of the alliance of England with France, .and its success will be a blow such as those Powers could alone inflict on the Russian empire. That is the feeling which pervades the army and the fleet, and rouses the men to enthusiasm at the approach of toil and danger. But to us, who watch in safety and at a distance t the progress of these events, it must be permitted to mingle with the exultation ef national pride and power some thoughts of a more grave and anxious character. These men who are just throw n upon the shores cf Crim Tartary, to defend themselves behind hasty entrench ments against a powerful enemy, whom they must con ; quer before they can hope to assail his stronghold with I success, are allied in blood and affection to every house . in England. The thought of some familiar friend will rise in every heart as these words pass before the eyes of thou sands of our readers, and it would be unworthy of us not to express the deep sympathy and ardent hope with which the prayers of thousands are lifted up in England for the lives, for the victory, for the safe return of those who stand at this moment in the very front of war. Within two days of the time last appointed for the general movement of the forces they were all embarked, and on the 4th the first division of the fleet, consisting principally, if not entirely, of British troops, put to sea. The French and Turkish divisions sailed on the follow, ing day, and the whole of the fleet was to proceed along the coast of .Bulgaria to the north-east, until they assembled at the Isle of Serpents, somewhat to the north -of the Sulina mouth of the Danube. The distance from this point to the shores of the Crimea is full 100 miles • less than the distance from Varna to Sebastopol ; the wind is more likely to be favourable, and the passage from,shore to shore more easy. From the Isle of Ser pents we shall probably learn that the whole armament has sailed due east for Kalamita Bay, and that on some such point as we recently indicated at the mouth of the Alma or the Katcha river the first descent has been made. It has justly bee n o b serve d th at there is no ' precise parallel for an operati on o f thi s nature, since the landing orSir Ralph Aberc rom by i n E gypt, did not amount to ,of le-fourth of the size of this expedition. Indeed, some of the greatest military writers have assumed that no so ch expedition ever could take -place, because they argued that an army of 60,000 or 80,000 men would be required to attack one of the great military Powers on his own territory with any chance of success, but that t a transport the materiel for an army of that magnitude acrost the sea was a task beyond the means of any State. ro this observation others of a similar nature have been a gilded. Thus, an army recently disembarked finds itself i a the disadvantageous position of having an enemy in ' !rout in possession of all the strong points in the country, and the sea in the rear. Such an army may be cut off from it s fl oa ti ng b ase o f opera ti ons and supplies by ' bad weather on the coast, and it is deprived of the means of retreat. To these general objections, however, there is, in this instance, one valid objection. The Crimea is so peculiarly situated as a peninsula, divided from the main territorS , of Russia, by seas, lakes, and steppes, 'chat it is far more accessible to the allies by sea than to the Russians by land, and that to concentrate their strength in the interior of that remote portion of the empire is more difficult than to concentrate our forces upon the coast. Neither the nature of the country nor the character of the people affords any of those re sources which are commonly available everywhere for the purposes of national defence ; indeed the remnant of the indigenous population is Mussulman, and indiffer ently affected to the Russian rule. For these reasons, the Crimea resembles a dependency rather than an in tegral portion of the Russian empire ; and if our forces succeed in occupying hereafter the lines of Perecop, which extend across the isthmus, the country may be ehefended against all reinforcements. In 1736, when the Russians first entered the Crimea under Munich, they found these lines so strong that the historian of that campaign declares that they would have been impreg nable if they had been defended by any but Tartar troops. Assuming that the larding of the expedition has been effected, and that the Russians do not succeed in pre , venting the descent of the allied armies on their coast, their generals will, in all probability, retire upon some strong position in the interior, such as Batohi-Sarai and Simpherophol, laying waste the country behind them, and destroying the wells ; for, the first principle they have to observe is to unite their forces, and to fall back upon a point in which they can best resist attack. The allied forces, on the other hand, would ,find great difficulty in laying siege to Sebastopol and carrying the works of that great fortress, as long as they are threatened in the rear by an army in the field. This point may demand the exercise of great military skill and judgment, for the main army of the Russians will, of course, endeavour to draw the invading forces away from Sebastopol, and it is highly to be desired that the allied forces should be sufficiently numerous to con duct both operations at once. The superiority of the Russians in number and weight of cavalry, and, perhaps, in field guns, will, however, render the allied commanders cautious as to undertaking any extensive field operations in the interior till they have acquired some further knowledge of the country and of their own resources in it. For instance, one of the great difficulties in moving large bodies of men is to provide sustenance for the horses and other animals belonging to the army, and this difficulty is greater in autumn than in the spring, when there is provender upon the ground. The destruc tion of towns, villages, and crops by retreating armies is an habitual artifice of Russian tactics, as General Krusenstorn has of late very needlessly reminded the world. But the Russian army is not operating in the Crimea on a vast expanse of territory. The whole country is but 120 miles long by 200 broad, and, if laid waste by the Russians, they will suffer more for want of supplies than the allied armies, which may be victualled by sea. The operations to be carried on in the interior are, therefore, in our opinion, the most ob scure and uncertain part of this expedition, for we do not allow ourselves to doubt of the success of the landing, and Sebastopol itself must eventually fall if it can be permanently invested by sea and land, even if it should not be taken by a coup de main. At the same time, it is possible that the allied commanders may have resolved to turn their whole force instantly upon Sebastopol itself, in order to reduce it, if possible, before the end of.the season ; and the language of the Moniteur itself is somewhat favourable to this supposition when it hints that the expedition, if not entirely successful this year, may be withdrawn, to be renewed in the spring with greater effect. We will admit, however, of no such doubts. Humanly speaking, rdo not alwayshas been donew h to e send k ill and valour orftu man, fortunes of this expedition with effect—everything will be done everythingfollow Il ot s to make it successful ; and, although the variable and uncertain f of lira they obey th e overr uling justice of o Providence. (From, the _Daily News.) In a hush of deep suspense the whole country is now listening for news from the Crimea. The nation sees " in its mind's eye" nothing but the beach of Tarna or Baljik denuded of sailing craft and steamers by the de parture of the expedition. It is gone : French troops and English—horse, foot, and artillery—all but the " heavy brigade," left behind till transports can be emp arkdeation all emp tied and sent back for it—are p l oughing the waters of the Euxine. St, far we have re li a b le intelligence ; all beyond is vague, unreliable, contradictory rumour. " " The fleet is to rendezvous at th e I sle of Serpents " — the English fleet was seen on th e B th steering to the the impossible." These scraps of news are listened to with north"—" coastsor t h" 0 f he preparations crirn ea t n render e being i an gdeb ma indifference, for no one knows wh ence they come, or difficult or rather, every one knows they can come from no authen tic source. The fleet, with the gallant men it carries, has disappeared for a time as entirely from our intellec tual vision as it has from the physical vision of those who stood on the shore to watch its departure. An im penetrable mist—like that which hung over the termi nation of the visionary bridge of Mirza—veils it from our sight. For the moment, the feelings with which we think of it are akin, to those with which we dwell upon some parted spirit whom death has ref t from our cognizance. But there is nothing of fear or anxiety mingling in the strained expectation with which the national mind grapples itself to the Euxine fleets. There is uncertainty as to its whereabouts —there is uncer tainty as to the exact nature of the task in which it is engaged ; but no one for a moment doubts that when the allied troops are let loose on the foe, the tricolor, the crescent, and the imperial standard of England will be borne onward triumphantly over every opposition. There is a strange and terrible fascination in the hopeful, absorbed state of the national mind, as it impatiently waits for the next news from the East. So intense is the expectation, that Fancy forgoes its usual privilege of painting imaginary and shifting pictures of what is to come. With the national mind thus completely possessed by one idea, no topic but the Sebastopol exp e di t i on has any chance f more than a momentary and listless attention. The marching and countermarching of Turks and Russians in Asia, with reports of victories gained by the Caucasian mountaineers, fall almost unheeded on the ear. Scarcely a passing comment is conceded to the premature return of the troops and fleets from the Baltic. The swaggering of the trim and jaunty soldiers of Austria, as they march through the gates of Bucharest, which Turkish hard fighting has opened for them—looking as warlike as if they had borne the burden aild beat of the day which the Turks have endured—does not even excite the derisive laugh which it would call forth at other times. All these are felt to be subordinate, episodical incidents, while the result of the Sebastopol expedition must of necessity prove a turning point of the war. All the other opeh tions of the campaign of 1854 have been and must remain resultiess—barren of fruits. The wretched treaty by which the Austrian armies have been allowed to occupy the Danubian Principalities, and protect the rear of the retreating Russians, has prevented the Turks from doing more than clearing their frontier of hos tile troops. The withdrawal of the allied forces from the Baltic, just as the game of war appeared to have begun to be played bi earnest at Bom.araued, has given the Czar breathing time for another winter. And the public, however reluctantly, appears disposed to aequieiee in these disappointments. But the faiiure of the Sebastopol expedition (we speak of a contingency that is barely possible) would awaken a storm of public indignation throughout France and England that would compel the Governments, in sheer self-defence, to buckle to the war with redoubled energy ; while the success of that enterprise would tell upon the imaginations of the people of Russia with a force that all the rain and fri volous lies of St. Petersburg Court journals could not allay, and would leave the victorious Powers not a shadow of an excuse for any longer temporising or " waiting for the Austrians." Come what will of the Sebastopol expedition, the after conduct of the war must differ materially from that portion of it which belongs to the past. It is for the peoples of France and England to decide whether the result of the war shall be honourable to them or the reverse. The people of France have quite as much power to influence the turn it is about to take as the people of England. We have been neither tardy nor cold in our appreciation of the decided policy which the present ruler of France has pursued since the war began. We have relied far more upon him than upon our own Government fur its being carried on in a man ner worthy of the two great nations who are the princi pal parties to it. But, viewed as a test of his statesman ship, undoubtedly the most far-sighted and dexterous features of his policy are the acuteness with which he has discovered the wishes of the French people, and the promptitude with which he placed himself at the head of a national movement. Napoleon 111. has throughout had a steady eye to the effect which the course pursued by him in the Eastern imbroglio would have in consoli dating his own throne ; nor will men blame him for this. He will study the leanings and desires of the French people with the same observant and divining eye in the future that ho bas in the past. And hence it comes that the French people have it in their power materially to influence the Imperial decisions. An intelligent and high-spirited nation may, if it will, influence the policy of its Government even without the apparatus of consti tutional institutions, though those institutions enable it to do so at all times peaceably and safely. What the French and English peoples are entitled to demand of their respective Governments is, that the war, begun to assert the integrity and independence of the Ottoman empire, shall be so waged as to strengthen and confirm the great principle of national integrityand independence, not merely of dynastic permanence and power. Ever since the ill-omened drawing clos'er of the bonds of amity between the allied powers on the one hand and Austria on the other, a thousand symptoms have shown that there is danger of the people being juggled by the old and effete, but wily diplomacy of Europe—of a war honestly , undertaken for great national ends being made subser vient exclusively to the narrow and short-sighted inte rests of dynasties. If this fatal error is committed, the war can only go on to ramify and extend itself in end less and aimless complications. In the present advanced state of general information and of Europe, no peace or settlement can be durable which is not honestly based on the broad interests of the people. ARRIVAL OF THE LYNX AT PLYMOUTH. The steam gun-boat Lynx, which left Woolwich on Saturday evening at five o'clock, arrived at Plymouth on Monday morning at ten o'clock. Sho was appointed to complete her coal during Monday night, and to sail this (Tuesday) morning with a mail for the Black Sea. ADMIRAL BERKELEY'S VISIT TO SHEERNESS. Rear-Admiral M. F. F. Berkeley, M.P., &c., paid an official visit to Sheerness yesterday. He visited the Devonshire and Benbow, receiving-ships for the Russian prisoners. Ho was accompanied by Captain-Superinten dent J. J. Tucker and his suite of officers. The Black Eagle left Sheerness with his Lordship at 3p.m. yesterday. INTERPRETER TO THE RUSSIAN PRISONERS. Mr. G. Hinchliffe, a late resident in St. Petersburg, is the gentleman who has been appointed by the Admiralty us interpreter on board the prison-ship Devonshire, at Sheer ness. The prisoners have the entire range from the "knight heads" to the tafrail, and do not abuse their indulgence. They aro perfectly obedient to a request made, and very respectful. They appear to appreciate the confidence placed in them, and all strive to make themselves useful about the docks when required. Divine service was performed on board the Devonshire on Sunday ; Lieutenant-Com mander J. H. Lloyd officiated. A number of the prisoners have been supplied with the Old and New Testaments by Mr. Joseph D. Hahn, missionary to the British and Foreign Sailors' Society. The prisoners seemed fully to appreciate the service. They separated in a most orderly manner —men, women, and children. No cases of sickness have broken out. The change of food (from salt provision to fresh, with the cleanliness carried out promptly by the officers, and willingly put in practice by the prisoners) have very much improved their health. SALE OF RUSSIAN PRIZES. The decrees of the High Court of Admiralty have been issued for the sale forthwith of the undermentioned Rus sian ships, they having been declared lawful captures : viz., the Alexander, Woo tsgard, late master, prizo to her Majesty's ship Tribune, the Hon. S. T.

The right wing of ti le 94th regiment arrived at Graves end on Friday, and pro ceeded to Stroud, where they were met by the commandin.g officer and officers of the regiment who came from Chat ham to Stroud to welcome them home. The right win g consisted of the Grenadiers, and Nos. 3,4,. and 6 comps ,vies. A party, consisting of 103 women and 118 children, be longing to the 68th am l other regiments now at the seat of war in the East, arrived at Chatham on Saturday, and Major Smith, Barrack Master, provided them with accom modation in St. Mary's barracks, where they will remain until they can be forwarded to their respective homes. They are to be sent home by the Paymaster of Invalids at the public expense. The depot of the 92(1 Highlanders has received orders to increase the draught at Cork, awaiting embarkation for Gibraltar, from 72 to 1(X rank and file.

MAN KILLED ON THE MIDLAND RAILWAY.—On Friday afternoon a young man, apparently about 23 years of age, whose name we have not ascertained, was killed on tho line of the Midland Railway at Swinton. The de ceased, who was dressed as a sportsman, and had a dog with him, was corning up on the line towards Sheffield, when finding the train did not stay at Swinton, he en deavoured to jump out, and his head coming in contact with a covered shed in that locality it was driven com pletely through, and the man was killed on the spot. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Pills a certain Cure for Pains in the Head and Stomach.—Miss Sarah Har graves, of 3, Hewson-street, Carlisle, states, in a letter to Professor Holloway, dated September 10, 1853, that she was afflicted for a number of years with severe pains in the head and stomach, dizziness, weakness in th e eyes, and the other u sual disagreeable accompaniments of a disorganised system. She tried every known remedy, and had the best medical advice, but derived ne benefit whatever. At last she resolved to give Hol loway's Pills a trial, and, after using them for a short time, she was restored to perfect health, which she enjoys uninterruptedly to the present time.

At the end of July the House of Commons gave a formal order for the printing of some Special particulars of the way in which the money voted for army and navy is spent by their high mightinesses, the salaried servants of the public at the Horse Guards and the Admiralty. Accordingly, in the quietest season of the year, when few est people are in town, and those few least inclined to vex themselves with 85 folio pages of figures, out come from the Parliamentary Printing-offices what are styled "De tailed Accounts of Receipt and Expenditure for Navy, Army, Commissariat and Ordnance Services for the year, to the 31st March, 1853." Just eighteen months after date—a year and a half after the exact time when a merchant, or other man of business would fix as the proper ono for the immediate balancing and publication of such a "detailed" statement, out come these special figures to show how the public money voted for soldiers and sailors was disposed of. If such figures were likely to be useful at all they would have been more useful months ago than they can be now. Turning, however, from this defect in the return, we find some facts which, though published in the previous statements of public expenditure, cannot be too often commented on. First on the list stands out, as prominently and pointedly as ever, the fact of how small a comparative portion of the money voted for our naval services goes to those who form its thew and sinew, and how large a portion to lumber and dead weight. Thus of six millions four hundred and ninety-two thousand six hundred and forty-six pounds considerably less than a quarter went for wages to seamen and marines, whilst the victuals of the whole navy cost very little more than half a million. In round numbers we find that two millions more than cover the cost of pay and food for the navy, and yet we pay six millions and a half for that service ! Are the other four millions spent on new steam-ships and gun-boats ? Not at all. The backbone of the navy is of course the seamen and the officers afloat, and we all know we have in the "Navy List" over six hundred ships built and paid for. What goes with the four other millions, then ? These eighteen months-old accounts profess to tell. " Her Majesty's establishments at home" run off with a little 132,6471. Then there are " her Majesty's establishments abroad" —including, of course, highly-important places like certain old-fashioned and utterly useless West Indian " establishments" and establishments in all the four quarters of the globe, very important to those who have vested interests in keeping such establishments out of the public pocket. These absorb 23,2631., besides 35,3311. for "artificers, &c." Of course besides these artificers abroad we have large bodies o f " artificers" at home to bnild up, and pull to pieces again and " lengthen," and " shorten," and " cut down," and so forth, the various experimental ships in the various dockyards ; all such building up and cutting down not enabling us, nevertheless, to lift 20,000 men from Eng land to Turkey without buying and hiring merchant steamers and sailing vessels, when the real work of trans port really bad to be done. But if the artificers and their masters, who in the year ended March 31, 1853, .took the sum of 666,9291. out of the public purse for wages in the working up apparently of 782,4951. worth of " naval stores, &c., for the building, &c., of ships, &c."—(the very words of the description)—if, we say, these artificers did not supply us with the needful ship room, we all know that they had votes for Chatham and elsewhere. Then, again, above a quarter of a million goes for "new works, repairs, and the yards," &c. Pen sions, and other dead weight, of course run off with a huge sum, and under the ingeniously contrived varieties of title of " half pay," "reserved half pay," " military pensions" (in the navy, be it remembered), " retirement to officers," " allowances," and " civil pensions and al lowances," the grand total is swelled up to 5,622,488/. ; and with the packet service to 6,492,6461. To show hew completely the bulk of the above is dead-weight, we find after the above total is made up the " Supplemen tary Estimate." This was a thing hooked on when war began to loom in the distance. Though all the vast amounts we have been enumerating were charged to John Bull and paid by him, and despite the existence of the long naval muster-roll of ships of war, the moment war seemed probable a " Supplement" became requisite, for which, of course, there appears the little supplemen tary bill. This comes to 213,100/. ; but being for 6,500 additional seamen and marines, it was money paid away for value received. Six millions and a half was for a navy for peace service—when hostilities were probable, it was admitted to be too weak for its place, vast as was the price we were called upon to pay for it. This is too bad. No Englishman objects to pay handsomely for a good English navy, but he requires—and should ever require—a thoroughly good navy for his money, equal to all the demands to be made upon it, even though such demands include the upset of Cronstadt and the capture of Sebastopol. We do not object to pay, and pay hand somely ; but we do object to be juggled out of our money, to be humbugged with stale accounts, and, worst of all, to be in doubt whether for our six, seven, or eight millions we have fleets able to do what Nelson did, with half the parade, for half the money. —Daily News. THE RUSSIAN ARMY. The Tlonitcur de l'Arinee gives the following de tails of the number of the Russian army, estimated in all at 571,295 men : "The Russian army in Europe is divided into six groups, forming six armies :—The Army of the North (St. Petersburg and the coasts of Finland) ; of the centre (Poland and Samozetia) ; of observation (from Kami enetz to Dubno) ; of the Danube ; of reserve (at Kiew) ; and the army of the Crimea. To estimate the forces which they contain, we will take the figures of the reglementary organisation of the Russian armies. Army of the North (Garde Imperials) : 24 bat talions, 77 squadrons, 70 guns ; grenadiers, 74 bat talions, 32 squadrons, 68 guns ; Corps of Finland, 16 battalions, 6 squadrons , 24 guns, giving 64,000 bayonets, 20,018 sabres, 5,173 artillerymen ; in all 89 , 1 81 men. Army of the Centre : Ist corps d'arm6e, 61 battalions, 32 squadrOns, 168 guns ; 2 divisions of grenadiers, 100 guns ; 2 divisions of 2d corps, 41 battalions, 32 squad rons, 100 guns, or 126,000 bayonets, 11,404 sabres, and 7,360 artillerymen`; in all 144,816 men. Army o f Observation of Kamienetz : 1 division of 2d corps, 20 battalions, 56 guns ; let division of 6th corps, 20 bat talions, 32 squadrons, 70 guns ; or 40,000 bayonets, 5,723 sabres, 2,600 artillerymen ; in all 48,3"8 men . Army of the Danube : Fraction of the 3rd corps, 49 battalions, 32 squadrons, 168 guns ; of the ; 4th corps : 49 battalions, 32 squadrons, 168 gags ; of the [PRICE SD. s th corps, 9, I battalions, 32 squadrons, 112 guns, or 122,000 bayo nets, 16,200 sabres, 9,060 artillerymen ; in all 147,260 men. In adding to that number, 20 pulks of Cossacks, o.r 10,000 men, and 3 regiments of sappers and pontoniers, or 4,500, the total of the army of the Danube, withoui - taking into account the losses of the campaign, arnouaits to 161,760 men. Army of the Reserve, at Kiev.; on the Dnieper : Imperial Guard -36 battalions, 104 guns ; Grenadiers-12 battalions, 36 guns ; Cavalry of Reserve-96 squadrons, 64 gun; or 48,000 bayonets, 16,000 sabre; and 5,200 artil lerymen, or, in all, 69,200 men. Army of the Crimea : A brigade of the sth corps 8 battalions, 24 guns ; a division of the 6th corps -16 battalions, 56 guns ; reinforcements arrived, 6 battalions, that is to say, 30,000 bayonets, to which are to be added 6,00 artillerymen or local tro o p s , 2,000 C ossacks or horsemen, 20,000 men of crews of the fleet ; or, i n all, 58,000 men, who most probably have been increased by new rein forcements lately sent to the Crimea. Thus these nix armies are composed as follows : Army of the North PP Centre 144,816 „ PP Observation PP Danübe 1 , 9 Reserve PP Crimea 58,000 „ Total " These estimates are made, as stated above, from the official returns, but it is well known that these figures are never kept up, particularly in time of war; so that, in order to be exact, one-fourth ought to be deducted from the above amount, so that the real number of the Russian forces in Europe cannot be more than 428,471 men. To that number must be added, however, the reserves, composed of men called to serve after 12 years' service, and men belonging to the new levies." LORDS LYNDHURST AND CLAN.RICARDE. THE WAR MEETING AT NEWCASTLE. At the recent public meeting held at Newcastle-upon- Tyne, on the subject of the war, besides agreeing to a memorial to her Majesty urging a more decided and energetic prosecution of the hostilities against Russia on the part of England, a resolution was adopted expres sive of the gratitude and respect of the company present towards Lord Lyndhurst and the Marquis of Clanri carde for their able exposures of the perfidy and ambi tion of Russia, and of the necessity of repressing the domideering and aggressive policy of the Czar, in the House of Lords in the course of the late session. The Mayor of Newcastle, as chairman of the meeting, was requested to convey the compliment to those two noble lords, and he did so in communications of which the following is a copy : " Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Sept. 1, 1854. "My Lord,:—lt is my duty, as chairman of a meeting of the inhabitants of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, held on the 29th of August, to convey to your lordship, in accordance with the terms of a resolution there adopted, an expression of gratitude and respect from the meeting for your lord ship's able exposition in the House of Lords of the perfidy and ambition of Russia, and of the necessity of effectually curbing her power. And your lordship will allow me to add, that I heartily concur in the terms of the resolution. —I have the honour to be, your lordship's humble servant, (Signed) " RALPH DODDS, Mayor." To this letter the Marquis of Clanricarde replied as fol lows " Killarney, Sept. 6, 1854. " Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt yesterday of your letter dated the Ist instant, informing me of a resolution passed at a meeting of the inhabitants of Newcastle, approving of my conduct in Parliament, in reference to the war in which our country is engaged. "I feel very sonsibly the honour conferred upon me by so highly respectable and influential an assembly, and I beg leave to thank you for the personal expressions upon your own part with which you accompany that communi cation. "I have no doubt that hostilities might have been avoided with honour and advantage, and the designs of Russia been checked by timely decision ; but now, in the conduct and the issue of the war are involved the best in terests of England, as well as of the Continent, of commerce and civilisation, and of freedom. "The meeting at Newcastle and the forcible speeches there delivered cannot fail to have a salutary and impor tant effect, and to give energy and influence to sentiments which, I believe, are generally entertained by the British people. "I have the honour to be, sir, " Your most obedient humble servant, (Signed) " CLANRICAII,DE." Below is the reply of Lord Lyndhurst : " Turville-park, Sept. 9,1854. "Mr. Mayor,—Sir,--1 have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter, communicating a resolution of the inhabitants of Newcastle-upon-Tyne respecting the part I have taken in Parliament upon the insidious and aggressive policy of Russia. " It is a great satisfaction to me to find that my public conduct on this interesting and important subject has met with the approbation of so numerous and enlightened a portion of my fellow-subjects. "I beg to express through you the grateful sense I enter tain for this distinguished mark of their favours.

THE EXPEDITION TO THE CRIMEA. We have been favoured with the following Letter : " On board the Transport, Bay of Varna, 4th Sept. "In my last I stated that I hoped to date my next from the Crimea, but I do not like the post of the 4th to leave without telling you where I am, and how we are progressing. We broke up our encampment on Thurs day last at 5 a.m., and at 9 we were all on board. Our general is with us and all his staff, and with ourselves we number more than 40 officers—a pretty large family I party it is. The embarkation has been going on for more than a week, and such a scene I never before witnessed, nor indeed has any one here, for the expedition is on a more gigantic scale than ever before attempted. Inde pendently of our fleets, the hired steam fleet is the wonder of every one. These are filled with troops and stores. The Himalaya, Simla, Jason, and Victoria have each more than a regiment of Dragoons on board. Every large steamer has its regiment of nearly 800 strong, while others are filled with stores of every description. The scene in Varna Bay during the whole of the last ten days has been one of unparalleled magnificence and exalting in the extreme. On one steam-tug you will see artillery wending their way to their ships. Then an infantry regiment crammed on board a small Danubian steamer, puffing along to a tran sport with its living cargo. On the way a ship, with her troops already embarked, is passed, and then there is such a cheer set up—and so ship-load after ship-load is em barked ; and at this hour the last corps are awaiting the return of the tugs to be taken on board. They are the 13th and 17th Light Dragoons, and the 38th and 50th Regi meats of Foot. " The Turkish fleet sailed yesterday for Baltchik Bay with 12,000 men.. The French are going there as fast as they are embarked, and by Monday shall all be rendezvoused there. You will find the place in the map as Kavarna Bay. I can give no adequate description of the scene which is now occurring, anything I could say would fall so short of what it is in reality. The magnificent display made by the mercantile marine strikes every one with wonder. There are sailing ships from 700 to 1,600 tons burthon. Our transport is 1,400 tons, and a noble ship she is. " A sad accident occurred yesterday morning. As the tug was taking two boats full of French troop■ to a transport, a small French steamer ran into them, and 32 poor fellows were drowned. I have seen a plan of operations, as far as regards landing. I believe we shall disembark at a place on the east of the Crimea, about 20 miles north of Sebastopol. We are to make good our landing, entrench ourselves, and then send back our steamers to Varna for 10,000 more French. We go in all at first nearly 60,000 men. The originalplan was to land seven miles from Sebastopol, but as we made no secret ! of our intention, the Russians have thrown up works to oppose, and it is feared it will be too hot for us. We are very much crowded on board, and the water is very bad—a drawback of some moment in a voyage, however short. We are only allowed to take one horse each, and have been obliged to leave the others at Varna. None of the heavy dragoons go with us, and as soon as this business is over we all clear out of Varna for winter quarters. I hope that mine may be in dear old England, for every one here says that peace will fol low the destruction of Sebastopol. This object, we think, cannot be attained unless the Russian fleet be destroyed, and the place made an open port. Lord Raglan em barks to-day, and, lam sorry to ten you, our French allies can only furnish about 23,000 men, to the as• tonishmeut of all. "'What will be said at home to the following affair ? I About 4 days since, a Russian steamer came off the place under false colours, lowered out a boat, which ran amid our ships, and saw all that was going on, and then returned to the steamer. The fact became known by a master of one of our steamers—a trader—having recog nised in the boat, as it passed, an old Russian captain with whom he was acquainted at St. Petersburg. The affair caused great consternation. Two French steamers were inlinediately sent in pursuit, but, strangely enough, were soon recalled. Our general dined with the admiral yesterday, and when he returned to the transport no said, "There seems to be some truth about the Russian steamer and boat." There has been no effectual blockade in the Black Sea, and there is general dis satisfaction about Dundas' and his fleet. Admiral Lyons has all the management of the e mbarkation. He is next to Dundas. I have just seen has of the plan of attack on the Crimea. One f. as wa lr' in n given to each ship, transport, and , order that they may know their position m s. an.

What cheering and bands playing as the ships move off ! "Colonel Boyle, Coldstream Guards, and Captain Longmore, Bth Hussars, died yesterday. "We expect another mail on the sth, which will come to us in Baltchik Bay. We rendezvous there on the 6th of September. The French number nearly 24,000 ; English, 23,000 ; Turks, about 10,000 ; making 57,000. The voyage to the Crimea will take us three days. The general orders are—' To invade the Crimea.' They are dated Varna, 3d September, 1854.' "The attack will be on Fort Constantine, as com manding all Sebastopol, with its dockyards, stores, &o. The fort mounts 250 guns." THE CHOLERA. DECREASE OF CHOLERA IN TEE METRO POLIS. The public will be glad to learn that the terrible scourge which has for the last few weeks struck terror and dismay amongst the inhabitants of this metropolis has at length begun to subside, after having swept off to an untimely grave nearly eight thousand victims, amongst whom will be found the representatives of every class in society, from the peer t 3 the lowliest mechanic. The medical profession agree generally that, although the mortaility is not so high as in the visit of 1832, yet tha t the malignant character of the disease is fully equal to that year, and far greater than in the visit of 1849. There is something remarkable in the fact that between the visit of the pestilence in 1832 and 1849, a period of seventeen years had elapsed, whilst from the latter period to the present time only five years have gone by, so that the time between the first and second visits was, within has been tbhreaeepneindiaarasgcneednirt:giieae a fraction, three and a half times as king as between the second and third visits. Co-relative with these facts, it b e l o f; i3 a l yecordin according c oincidences toreo e o n f t i toihe a nfi l n t hatohpuergsoheg seventeennr eo lattersts iy generally eyfiervaae o—y aset n ah o r el. noticed, c w e hia d as a , : during the whole periowdi between 1832 and 1849. circumstances, L b o u n t . they are coincidences which, nnfortnnatel , tell a me lanTchheosley may be calculations, Y don increases at the rate of five hundred souls a week— that is to say, that on next Saturday night there ill b five hundred more human b e i ngs who require w e permanent housing than did last Saturday night, and there are not houses to put them into (which h as not hitherto been the case), to whom may be added the usual number of clearances for metropolitan improvements, it show's as clearly and inevitably as the sun at noon-day that over crowding follows, and, as a conclusion that admits of no question, cholera steps in with fri g htf u l h avoc to re store what may not be inaptly termed the balance of the proper number, who ought, or can healthily live to gether in houses, streets, and towns. Cholera is a ter rible but sure regulator of over-crowded dwellings in towns, and this being as certain every nerve should be stretched to deprive the pestilence of one of its most powerful agents. If the great railway companies would charge less than 91. or 11/, for yearly tickets to Hornsey and Wands worth, but regalate their prices to accommodate the re spectable thousands who are struggling every night for breathing and elbow-room in London, and which is daily becoming more circumscribed, a great deal might be effected to improve health and keep away pestilence. The total number of deaths in the metropolis, accord ing to the Registrar-General's returns, up to the 16th inst., is 2,832 against 3,347 of the previous week. Of these, 1,531 are registered as having died of cholera, and 227 as having died from diarrhoea, making a total of 1,758 from the latter causes alone. These figures give a diminution of deaths, to the number of 515, upon the total of the preceding week, thereby indicating the de cline of cholera to nearly that amount. ST. BARTHOLOMEW'S HosPITAL.—On inquiry yester day it was ascertained that there had been six deaths by cholera during yesterday, and one this morning. One case was admitted last evening from Fetter-lane. Mr. Frederick Wood, who has the chief charge of the cholera patients, is unremitting in his attentions on the unfortu% nate sufferers. Two wards are occupied, and there is a third in readiness, but, fortunately, has not been re quired. Bentley's Ward is fitted up for adult males, and the other for females and children. Tgi LONDON' HOSPITAL.—The cholera ward is nearly filled with dangerous cases, and many have been suo cessfully treated by the medical officers, who are unre mitting in their 'attention to the unfortunate persons. The number of out-door poor who apply for the cholera mixtures is seriously on the increase. CAMDEN-TOWN.—Yesterday two cases of cholera were admitted into the cholera wards of the Royal Free Hos pital from 111, Grove-street, Camden-town, the first being that of Lavinia Pocock, and the second that of John Redman, a horsekeeper. On Sunday Th omas Bins, a bedstead maker, residing in Percy-terrace, was also admitted from the same district. OXFORD. —Cholera has not disappeared in this city ; on the contrary, the indications of its presence have been very decided during the week, and there have been soma very melancholy results, HERTFORD.—We are happy to be able to state that, up to the present moment, there has been no case of cholera in Hertford ; and that there has been a very considerable diminution in the number of cases of diarrhoea. SMEIFFIELD. —We have again to report several deaths • from cholera this week. Last week a man named liar rop, residing at Navigation-hill, died of cholera. On Saturday last his son was taken 111, and his mother on Sunday morning. Both died on Tuesday. Ilunother son got better. Two persons named Birks, mother and son, residing on the iron bridge, have died of cholera. The mother, 62, was taken ill on Friday afternoon, and died on Saturday night. The son, 24, was seized with cholera on Monday afternoon, and died on Tuesday morning at two o'clock. A middle-aged woman named Bell, in Sheldon-row, was seized on Friday, and died the same night. Another person named Aldred, living at Andrew-lane, was taken ill on Tuesday morning and died at night. On Saturday last, David Houghton, a file hardener, residing in Ellis-street, died of cholera, after 16 hours' illness. There have been during the week several deaths from diarrhoea. EDINBURGH.—Two cases were reported to the paro chial authorities yesterday, viz. .—one, that of a woman from the Vennel ; and the other, a boy from the College Wynd. Both these cases are being treated at their own homes. The number of patients in the hospital is three, who are all doing well. The firemen were yesterday engaged in flushing the closes and common sewers of the city with water from the street mains. The long drought had rendered the cleansing of the sewers a •erynecessary measure. ABERDEEN.—Since our last there there has been a considerable number of cases reported, the majority of theni from dirty and unwholesome localities—a consi derable number of the patients also being persons of in temperate habits. Up to last night there were in all 32 cases. Of these three are recovered, 25 are dead, and 4 remain under treatment in the hospital. DALZIEL.—By far the most plague like and destruc tive aspect yet assumed by cholera in this neighbourhood has been at the mining village of Motherwell, including Windmill-hill, &c., in Dalziel parish. No less than 16 burials took place on Tuesday out of its limited popul.a. tion, and this morning there were six deaths reported. CORONER'S INQUEST. Mr. Wakley, the coroner, and Mr. G. S. Brent, the deputy-corner for the western division of Middlesex, held an inquest on Saturday last, at the Enterprise pub lic-house, Malton-street, Fulham-road„ Chelsea, touch ing the death of Mrs. Davis, aged 47, wife of Alfr e d Davis, which took place on Tuesday last. r h . e p d a a v u i s g . h t;rh They oafs MF.

The deceased had been ill from Saturday fortnight. She complained of a pain in her head. Her head was hurt, and Mr. Jennett, a medical gentleman, was attending upon her. Before she died she made witness promise that she (witness) would not give any evidence or say anything about her injuries. The Coroner—Having examined the body, can you now state the cause of death ? The Surgeon—The cause of death was clearly cholera. The Coroner—Did you trace any connection between the incised wounds on the head and the cause of death ! The Surgeon—No, I cannot ; there was no fracture, and nothing else to account for death except cholera. Mr. F. J. Jennett, surgeon, said that he was present at the post mortem examination, and could corroborate Mr. Muller's evidence so far as that gentleman knew the case. He was att en di ng her for the incised wounds which had been alluded to, and she appeared also to be suffering from concussion of the brain. H e asked her how those wounds had been inflicted, and she replied that Mr. Davis, her husband, had done them with his at fist. Her h us b and was sitting in the room t h e i ti me s and heard h er.

That matter could be disposed of only in a higher court, if the rela tives desired it ; but the coroner's court had no jurisdic tion whatever in the matter after the cause of death was known. The jury then formally returned a verdict in accord ance with the coroner's suggestion ; and the proceed ings, which created a wide-spread interest is the locality, then terminated, 11HE CHOLER A!!!
