Another day has elapsed without bringing the intelligence from the Crimea to which the public has been looking forward with such intense anxiety. We know that the Allied Forces had landed safely, that all the munitions of war were available for instant service, and that the troops were actually marching against the enemy, and that a serious collision was expected on the 20th. It was also tolerably certain that a Russian corps had taken up a position on the Alma river ; but as they wore less than half the number the in vading army, consisting only of 25,000 men, and as they expected to be reinforced by 15,000 ad ditional troops, it was scarcely probable that they would hazard a decisive battle, or do more than harass and impede the march of our forces until the entrenchments on the heights above Sebastopol were assailed, when the Fabian policy would be no longer practicable. The accounts from Vienna (which appeared in our impression of yesterday) state that there had been a contest on the 19th, in which the Russians were driven back with much loss. This, as we have stated, is not only possible, but even highly probable. All such tidings, unless proceeding from official sources, must, however, be received with the greatest possible caution. We have had so many examples of fraudulent intelligence, concocted for the sole purpose of assisting the speculations of interested parties, that it is impossible to yield implicit credence, no matter how great the vraisein blance of any particular story. If such a contest took place it could scarcely have been anything more than a mere affair of outposts, between the vanguard of the advancing army and a detachment of the Russians. The troops, it appeared, were not to commence their march on Sebastopol unti the 19th, and it could scarcely be supposed that nything very decisive would take place the same day. But it is not merely speculators who can furnish fictitious accounts. The Russians have proved themselves great adepts in concocting intelligence to suit their own purposes. It has been stated on high authority that three sets of despatches were prepared respecting every event. The first for the of roXXot, the ignorant Muscovite mass, and for any strangers whom it was possible to deceive ; the second for the Ministers and great Officers of State ; and the third for the exclusive perusal of the CZAR himself. The first of these official documents was purely imaginary. It was solely prepared for the purpose of inducing the people to credit whatever the AUTOCRAT wished them to believe. The second was what the old story-tellers were accus tomed to denominate " founded on facts." There were some vestiges of truth, but with con siderable embellishments, some " grains of wheat to a bushel or sack," or like FALSTAFF'S tt bread bill" to his " sack account." The third, however, was strictly accurate. The AUTOCRAT required ci the tr u th , the whole truth, and no thing but the truth," and any tampering with his credulity would subject theoffenders to a com pulsory trip to Siberia, or, no matte r h ow high his rank, to a very unpleasant application of the knout. The duty then of Russian Comma n d ers, of all grades, is to practise the most unblushing mendacity, to lie without shame or h es i tation whenever the interests of their master may re qu i re them so to do. Truth in Russia is regarded a , a jewel of to o grea t pr i ce to b e b es t ow ed on any of less than Imperial rank. In our impresssion of yesterday we gave in sertion to an account which appears to be a speci men of the first class of these despatches. It was to the following effect : " NN, SZPT. 29. "A letter f rom C onst antinople VlE ef the l A 9th announces that a Russian courier had been captured, bearing despatches, from which it appeared that 20,000 Russians (2,000 ?) were prostrated by the cholera, and that the whole force in the Crimea did not exceed 45,000 men." Now, it may be asked, why should the authorities in the Crimea desire to convey to the people what could only be considered as very disastrous tidings, calculated to dispirit rather than to encourage hem. We do not believe that it was at all in tended for publication in Russia. It was solely I concocted With the object of deceiving the Allies and inducing their Generals to suppose that at Sebastopol they would have to encounter an enemy far more formidable than the Russians. They know the stuff better of which French and English are composed to suppose that they could be deterred from advancing by exaggerated account s o f th e strength and efficiency of the adversary. If bully ' ' ing or boasting could be of any service, they would willingly resort to it ; but accounts of their strength and efficiency would only stimulate the ardour of the Western warriors, and render them even more impatient for the fray. They strive t o make it be believed that they are weakened by disease, and incapable of offer ing an obstinate resistance. If the cholera were so fatal at Sebastopol•as to cut of 20,000 (!) or even 2,000 of the Russian troops (as suggested at Vienna), the leaders of the invading army, who are known to look to the lives of their men with much greater anxiety than Russian commanders, might possibly feel disposed to protract their ope rations, more particularly if they supposed that they had only to encounter 45,000 men, separated and divided into different parts. If it only caused the delay of a single day the advantage would be cheaply purchased by the concoction of spurious despatches, and the sacrifice of an unfortunate courier. " Sacrifice," perhaps, is not the word. His capture as a prisoner of war would probably place him in a much better position than he could hope to be while a miser able serf, dreading the Russian stick, and subjected to every whim of his demi-barbarian commanders. We believe, then, that the inten tion of the parties who framed this despatch was that it should fall into the hands of the Allies, and that the capture of the courier was delibe rately planned by the Russians, with the view of retarding the march on Sebastopol. This will, we think, prove to be the history of this one of the latest wiles of our cunning adversaries. It is easy to ridicule prophets, and to fling at somewhat hopeful speculators the proverb of counting our chickens before they are hatched ; yet the next few moves must always be in the minds of all earnest men. The press ought not to allow the public to be without a course to take in each probable event. Germanism and Rus sianism know full well what course they will take, if the French and English people will let them ; it behoves, therefore, those who watch for peoples and not for Courts, to utter the popular reasonings loudly enough to unite and embolden the latter, and to keep our Cabinets in mind of the power which can one day reckon with them. All our managers of the War are friends of the dynasties, all Englishmen and Frenchmen are friends of the nationalities ; it is of the last importance then that the supporters in heart of HAPSBURGS, HOHENZOLLERN; and even Ro- MANOFFS, should nct catch the friends of the enslaved nations napping. Just now, however, and at last, we have taken a bold step, and the inquiry what we mean to do, if it be successful, is eminently pertinent. Suppose, then, we accomplish our present ob ject fully —suppose Sebastopol taken —suppose, too, if any one likes, the CircaSsian forts all de molished, Odessa in our hands, Ismail captured and garrisoned by OMER PACHA, and the mouths of the Danube quite free—rather too good a con clusion, no doubt, to the dawdling commence ments in the spring —the question is, What then ? Will Russia vigorously prolong the war ? We sincerely wish she may. In that case even our Cabinet must go right. The Black Sea, swept clean of Russian ships of war, if the cowards who fired away at Sinope, but now skulk at Sebastopol deserve that name, would need but a small fleet of observation. Transports with a moderate convoy would finish the work on the south coast of Russia and in Asia next sprinvr it may even be acc om pli s h e d b efore this win sets in. The whole nearly of the combined fleet., with suit able gun-boats prepared in the winter, would be ready, on the breaking up of the ice, to blow every Russian fortress which protects St. Petersburg to atoms in a short time. As Fox and HENDERSON'S men proposed over their wine, their masters would contract with the Government, having such means at their disposal, to take Sweaborg, Cronstadt, and anything else they pleased, for so many thou sands or millions. We only hope the CZAR will "ride the high horse" and compel our leaders to give him a fall he will never get over, or the CZARS after him for generations to come. But suppose, on the other hand, his brothers in crime, and one of them brother by affinity too, persuade him in dignified diplomatic lies to cant about peace --persuade him to do the humane, with their own humane selves as the unselfish mediators—shall he or they be listened to ? Shall his amour propre, as the phrase went, be again consulted ? Shall the great liar and deceiver's self-complacent professions be entertained, just to while away the sessions of the British Parliament ? Shall negotiations which " cannot be yet made public" be the stock answer for every interroga tor ? To all these questions the public must be prepared with an emphatic NO—Russia must not be admitted to treat, except as a beaten power. She must surrender everything military on the Black Sea for ever, seeing she has no real right to be there, and knows not how to use military power. The whole course of the Danube must be free, and her armies must be forbidden to approach the Pruth. Next, all her modern thefts must be surrendered, not only south of the Caucasus, but iu Finland and Poland too. Very big talking this, some may say, and descant on the folly of making demands which will never be conceded. Very• likely they would not ; but we maintain that we should gain immensely by the refusal. It would be cheapest for us to finish up our Black Sea work in the Baltic, and to put England and France at rest for a century to come, on the score of naval danger from the barbarians of the Krem lin. To the above righteous demands must be added many others of course ; the Protectorate, the Treaties, the intermeddling with the Princi palities, and the like, would go of themselves with the pride and power of the foe ; but the indem nification of Turkey, France, and England ought to be insisted on as a sine qua non. Russia made Austria indemnify her for enslaving Hungary ; Austria compelled Piedmont to pay her the ex penses of re-enslaving Lombardy. Let the ball go round. Let Russia now pay the cost of being prevented from enslaving any more of Europe. It is the cheapest way of keeping her from trying it on again. Let her raise a loan for once to pay the costs of a war of independence. Paying the interest of it will be the cleverest way of reducing her army ; it will do as much for the peace of Europe, to lighten her purse as to occupy her territories. The worthy Jews of Frankfort and our Exchange would not be very hard upon her. They would think a loan, which bound her over to keep the peace, quite as safe as a loan to aid her and Austria in crushing Hungary and Lom bardy. Moreover, it is but fair to us that we should be reimbursed for all the taxes, continued, as well as imposed, to repress her fraud and violence. We lay it down as an axiom, that the Russian business must not b e d one b y h a l ves. If we suc ceed at Sebastopol, her whole mari ne f ron ti er can soon be ren dered Powerless for offe nce .

Moscow is their proper place 6 if they will but live there and mind their ' and l ,, business, it will never need to be burned again, But will this, after all, enfeeble Russia ? Can she. not nurse her armies in her interior, and pour them forth through Poland upon Europe ? Spending her naval funds upon hcr army ) can she THE SUN, LOI4DON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 80, 18b4. not make it still more formidable. She may try this policy ;—but we deny that she can be more formidable to Europe through Poland alone. The deceitful ashes of suppressed freedom are unsafe soil for the tyrant to fight on, especially with our fleets in the Baltic ; but the grand question then arises, Shall she retain Poland as a kind of military and continental Sebastopol, or shall Poland be made to Europe what we hope Sebastopol will become to Turkey—an outwork of its independence, instead of a menace to its liberties ? This, however, with the craven conduct and assuming deportment of Austria, we must advert to speedily. • LATEST NEWS. ligion, language, act mental deVelepitient are the same ; his costume alone i§ difrerent. The Russians have done their utmost to transform him into a Russian peasant. The turban and Rowing gar ment have been proscribed in faVoUr of the brim less lambskin hat and shapeless gown, but through this disguise the Tartar face is recognisable. The arrival of the allies has given them much satisfac tion, which they openly expresso One man came from his village to say that two Russian families of great wealth were preparing to leave, and demanded a few soldiers to be sent to arrest them. The soldiers and sailors are on the br,st of terms with them, as I have already observed. Piobably from ignorance of their family names, and fearful that this trifling circumstance might interrupt their cordiality, the inhabitants hare been indiscrimi nately christened by the soldiers by the name of Joey. Consequently, if a slow, native Tartar lies in danger of being run over by a hasty dragoon, he is requested to " Look out for your eye, Joey ;" and should another hesitate to take British coin in payment for an unripe melon, he meets the re proach of " You are an ass, Joey." Joey Tartar has therefore become as historical a character as Johnny Frenchman or John Turk. As long as daylight would permit the landing continued. The 15th of September closed with a magnificent sunset, but long after night had crept on the ani mation of the camp continued. Horses that had arrived late had to be picketed, and the men, many of whom had been on the water s i nce morn ing, were p repar i ng their meals. For my own part my feelings were peculiar. I had been exiled for the last eight months with the army of Asia, at Kars ; and now ih the midst of Englishmen, with nothinr , around me spoken 'kat English, and the bands playing old familiar English tunes, to my heart I lay down to rest, and felt that night as if I was in a pleasant four-poster, sleeping in glorious, com fortable Old England. And who would have thought, amidst the cool ness with which the landing took place, with the merry, carele ss l aug ht er a b out him, that we were now in the Crimea, or Russian territory, and en gaged in one of the greatest enterprises ever under taken—the destruction of Sebastopol, and the humiliation of Russia! THE CRIMEA. PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING, 9 P.M, Further telegraphic messages from Vienna con firm the accounts of the favourable disposition manifested toward the allies by the Tartar popula tion of the Crimea. TIIE _REGISTRATIONS. The sanitary condition of the allied army was excellent. MIDDLESEX. At the court held yesterday at the Chandos Arms, Edgeware, Mr. Lancelot Shadwell, the barrister, re vised the lists for the parishes •of Edgeware, Great Stan more, Finchley, Harrow, Hendon, Kingsbury, Stan more, and Little Pinner. In this polling district there appears to be but little to hope for or to fear by either political party, for in the whole of the above-named lists there were only two objections by third parties, and these involved no point of interest. The objections made by the various overseers were of the usual descrip tion, arising from deaths, removals, or disqualifications, and none of them were defended. An official bulletin communicated to the Ambas sadors at Constantinople, and dated from the bivouac at Old Fort on the 16th, announces that the allies had intended iyhe next day to attack an intrenched camp of 10,000 Russians posted in the direction of Sebastopol, but that the camp had been raised in the night, and that the Russians had fallen back upon the town. Twelve thousand Tartars had offered themselves to the allies as volunteers, and their services been accepted. The revision will close this day, when the barrister will hold his court at Jack Straw's castle, Hampstead hill. EAST SURREY. It was reported that the attack upon Sebastopol had been fixed for the 25th. Yesterday, Sir Walter Buchanan Riddell, Bart., commenced the revision of the lists of voters for the eastern division of Surrey at the Town Hall, Croy don, with the parishes in that polling district. A gentleman from the office of the clerk of the peace delivered to the court the parochial lists received by the clerk of the peace from the overseers of seventy two parishes of the district, and a copy of the re gister of the electors. Mr. George R. Corner and Mr. Thomas Jeans, secretary to the East Surrey Reform gistration Society, attended on behalf of that society, Mr. Burgon, solicitor, attended on behalf of the Na tion Freehold Land Society, and Mr. Drummond for the Tories ; but no objections have been made by his party in this district. Objections made by reformers, and their results :—Parish of Beddington, 1 made, 1 sustained ; Carshalton, 7 made, 7 sustained ; Caterbam, 1 made, 1 sustained ; Cheam, 2 made, 2 sustained ; Coulsdon, 1 made, 1 withdrawn ; Croydon, 12 made, 10 sustained, 1 withdrawn, 1 failed ; Mitcham, 9 made, 8 sustained, 1 withdrawn ; Mordon, 2 made, 2 sustained ; Penge, 9 made, 9 sustained ; Sutton, 10 made, 8 sustained, 2 withdrawn ; Woodmansterne, 2 made, 2 sustained. Total :-56 made. 50 sustained, 5 withdrawn, 1 failed. The overseer of Farley did not attend the court. He was fined 205., and ordered to attend the revision at Reigate, to which place the Court adjourned to Tuesday next, at 11 o'clock. The Russian fleet had been reconnoitred in the port of Sebastopol by the French steam-ship Napoleon. VIENNA, FRIDAY, SEPT. 29, Advices from Constantinople of the 21st state that the allies were marching towards the river Alma on the 20th, I.4c4xpected to reach the river Katcha next day, where 8,000 Russians occupied a fortified position. Russian accounts of the 19th say that General Canrobert has a fortified position at Eupatoria ; that the main body of the allied army is on the small river north of and parallel with the river Alma ; 30,000 Russians were posted at the latter, but with insufficient artillery. Admiral Lyons' squadron and 120 transports had left the Crimea to fetch the reserve. Baron Hess arrived at Bucharest on the 23d in stant, and was received with every distinction by Omer Pacha and Dervish Pacha. KALAMITA BAY, SEPT. 17. The landing of horses and heavy artillery has proceeded all the morning, but the present state of the sea prevents any further labour. A courier with despatches from Sebastopol to St. Petersburg fell into the hands of a French forag ing party. According to the despatches, it would appear that cholera is raging with the utmost violence in Sebastopol, and that a strong division is about to reinforce the garrison of that place. This afterhoon squadrons of the 17th, 11th, Bth, and 13th, backed by artillery, have started a recon noissance. Yesterday Lord Cardigan, with the 11th Hussars, scoured the country, but without encountering an enemy. The health of the men is very good, consider ing the seeds of cholera sown amon g st them at Varna and e l sew h ere . M any deaths during the passage have, however, to be lamented. The 88th (or Connaught Rangers) lost 16 men. The Hima laya suffered also greatly. The change of climate, combined with the mild air and the life of activity now enjoyed by the troops, will, it is hoped, com pletely check all symptoms of cholera. The loss in horses has not been very great. Several have been lost in landing. Lord Raglan has lost a fine charger. The Caradoc paid a visit to the village or small town of Eupatoria, and experienced no resistance. Foraging parties of both nations continually scour the country in search of provisions and carts. The progress of the army is greatly hindered by the want experienced of the latter article, and a great part of the baggage will, it is feared, have to be left behind. Horses are also not to be obtained, and many officers and all " special correspondents" will be obli g ed to sacrifice te n t an d b aggage, an d tramp with the army. The English pay for everything they obtain from the natives, and, as usual, at twice the value of the article. The proprietors of the small carts that have been obtained receive a daily remuneration of ten piastres —a very heavy price. The French Algerines are very active in their razzias, and bring in daily large herds of oxen and sheep, and numerous carts and waggons. Yester day a carriage containing two females was brought in by these sturdy irregulars. A party of Zouaves, to the number of twelve, paid the penalty of their boldness, and fell yesterday into the hands of the Cossacks. A skirmish took place, I belive, two days ago, between the pickets of our light division and some Cossacks convoying carts, and resulted in the capture of the latter. According to the most amthentic account, the garrison of Sebastopol is 40,000 strong, but all the outlying divisions are being recalled to that strong hold. It is presumed that the passage of th© last two rivers approaching Sebastopol will be opposed by the Russians, who, if not successful, will retire to the forts. The whole effort of the allies will directed against the north fort. This fort once carried, Sebastopol is ours, for the whole basin and inner fortifications are commanded by it. Here the struggle will be desperate. The army will not march before the 19th, if then. The Himalaya returns to-night to Scutari, and will ship the Scots Greys. Several transports will leave to:morrow for Varna, where the heavy cavalry is still lying. The French will advance on the high road, forming the right wing. The Turks will occupy the centre ; and our army will form the left wing. The troops are in excellent spirits, and await with impatience the order to march. The Lord Provost of Aberdeen has received a com munication front the Hon. C. B.

REPRESENTATION OF FORFARSHIRE.—Wednesday, the 11th of October, has been fixed for thenomination of a representative for the county of Forfar, when there is no doubt that Viertonnt Duncan will be elected without, opposition.

For the retreat of the Russian army from Moscow, and the entry of the French into that city, when it was burnt, in 1812 ; 2. For the death of the Duke of Wellington in 1852 ; 3. For the debarkation of the allied forces in the Crimea, in 1854. VIENNA, FRIDAY EVENING. The Greeks have spread a report that the Allies have gained a great victory near Sebastopol. This is not yet authentically confirmed ; never theless the funds have risen considerably. THE BALTIC. DANTZIC, FRIDAY, SEPT. 29. The Basilisk has arrived. She left the fleet at Nargen on the 26th. Sir Charles Napier reconnoitred Sweaborg on tho 23d. The Prince Regent, Neptune, St. George, and Monarch have been ordered home. RETURN OF FRENCH SHIPS, OF WAR FROM THE BALTIC. NYBORG (GREAT BELT), Sept. 29.—The French line-of-battle ship, Breslau, Rear-Admiral Penaud, arrived here yesterday from the Baltic, and sailed to-day for the Kattegat. The Vice-Admiral, Par: seval Deschenes, is expected with the rest of the French line-of-battle ships. LANDING OF _ TE TROOPS The following interest taccount of the landing of the Allied troops has just been received : KALAMITA BAY, SEPT. 16. On the 15th, at daybreak, preparations were commenced to land the cavalry and artillery, but had to be delayed in consequence of the violence of the surf. Towards midday this impediment dimi • nished, and the bay soon became a scene of great activity. Barges, laden with horses and artillery, lined the whole beach, lazily waiting to be conveyed by the surf on shore. Similar beats were hovering around them, guiding their progress, lest they should be washed beam-ends on the beach. This caution was necessary, for two or three battered hulks testified on the shore to the violence of the surf. Smart men-of-war boats crossing to and from the flag-ship added to the gaiety of the scene, while the forest of transport-ships and steamers transported one in imagination far from the Euxine to smoky London and the East India Docks. The Britannia was anchored at a considerable distance from the beach, surrounded by the Retribution, the Vesuvius, and other steamers. The Agamem non, bearing the flag of the gallant Sir Edmund Lyons, lay, on the contrary, close to the shore. The Vesuvius and another steamer had returned from an excursion along the coast. According to their report, the Russians had established two camps, one co reposed of five thougand, the other of ten thousand men, between this and Sebastopol. The steamers amused themselves with shelling the tents, which soon compelled the occupiers to retreat to a safe distance. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. CAMP, NEAR KALAMITA B AY (C RIMEA ), S ep t. 18. —On the morning of the 14th the allied fleet of transports, with the convoy of men-of-war, arrived in Kalamita Bay. The disembarkation began about eight o'clock a.m., the French to the south ward of the English. When night came on nearly all the British infantry was landed. The fol lowing day the wind was from the west, and there was too much sea on to land anything. The next day the wind was in the same quarter, but still the disembarkation of artillery and cavalry was carried on, and is still proceeding. The army is to ad vance to-morrow, and carry with it three days' cooked provisions. For the first three days there were no tents, no wood ; and water was very diffi cult to be got. The position of the army is on a large plain, having a lake (called the Putrid Lake) on its left. For the last two nights the " alarm" has been given, and the army has turned out under arms. The first time the " alarm" came from the side of the French ; last night it was caused by the accidental discharge of the firelock of a sentry. The Cossacks hover round us, and have been fired at several tunes by the pickets of the Rifles. The light cavalry, under Lord Cardtgan, are in advance. Sir George Brown, who was one of the first to land on the 14th, went out to reconnoitre, and foolishly without an escort ; he soon found himself disagreeably close to a Cossack officer, with an or. derly after him. He had to make a bolt for it, and being well mounted got off all right ; but he ought not to expose himself too much. He ought to have taken an escort with him ; he is a brave old fellow, and we cannot spare him. The night we landed was a dreadfully wet one, and by no means a pleasant beginning of sleeping al fresco, particularly as we had no fires. Sir George Brown slept under a bullock waggon. I have heard, but cannot vouch for the truth of it, that we haye taken prisoner on board ship the governor or chief magistrate of Eupatoria, and have landed 500 marines at that place. The day before we came to Kalamita Bay we passed by Eu patoria, and reconnoitred the town, sending some ships close in, and then despatched a steamer with a flag of truce. They were told that if they would assist us with supplies and carriage we would spare their town. It .appears that some of the inhabi tants brought waggons the next day to us with corn, and on their return were imprisoned by the ,Governor of Eupatoria ; hence his imprisonment. You must make allowances for this letter. lam lying down writing in an uncomfortable position, and much pressed for time. The inhabitants about here are Turks, and very civil. The pickets of the 13th Dragoons were driven in last night by the Cossacks. Mr. Keith Johnston, the Queen's Geographer for Scotland, had an interview on Thursday with H. R. H. Prince Albert, at Balmoral, on the subject of a map of the district with which he is now engaged for the Prince. ILLNESS OFI:ROSSINI.—A letter from Leghorn, in the Gazette de Savoie, says :—I regret to announce to you that the health of the great composer Rossini has or late declined so much that there is no hope whatever of his recovery. A violent attack was lately near carrying him off, but he partially recovered; and was able to return to Florence. But even if he should live, he will never re cover his clearness of ideas. The deepest melancholy has had possession of him since his last illness. RETURN OF THE MORMONS EASTWARD.—A Western paper says that a few days since a train, composed of nine waggons and 50 persons, crossed the Missouri east wardly in search of a new home. They had left the Salt Lake City on account of the oppression and immorality of their church.—New pork Herald. FAILURES.—The letters from St. Petersburg are to the 21st inst., and announce two failu res , th e h ouses being those oMr. J. Osteried, of Moscow, calico-printer, and Mr. H. J. Bolotoff, of Shuya, also a calico-printer. CRICKET.—THE COUNTIES OF SUSSEX. AND SURREY.— This match, being the second played this season between these two counties, commenced at Brighton on Thurs day. First day's play :—Sussex, Ist innings, 112 ; Surrey, Ist innings, two wickets down, 115. NEW GRANADA.—From New Granada the accounts seem more favourable, as regards the prospect of the Government being able to re-establish themselves. The insurgent General Melo still maintained his usurpation at Bogota, but the people were leaving the city in large numbers. Active military preparations were in progress on the constitutional side under Generals Gonzales, Mosquera, and Posada. THE DISCOVERY OF THE NORTH WEST PASSAGE.— The Cork Reporter announces that Captain M`Lure was waited upon by Mr. Hammond, on the part of the Town Commissioners of Queenstown, and invited to a public banquet, a compliment he was compelled to decline. ST. PETERSBURG.—The advices from St. Peters burg' state that the price of carriage for goods over land to the frontiers had fallen considerably. A return, just published, of the total exportation of produce of all kinds from that city, from the commencement of the year to the Ist inst., showed the total value to have been 1,300,0001., against 5,400,0001. in the correspond ing period of 1853. Some three hours elapsed before a fortunate lull permitted us to laud. Each barge, towed by a man-of-war's boat, on approaching the shore, dropped anchor, and allowed itself to be washed forward by the surf. Tho anchor's rope was but very gradually let out, in order for the barge to approach stern forward. At the moment she appeared about to strike, a dozen sailors—chiefly, if not all, crews of merchantmen —dashed into the water, and seizing her ropes, dragged her high up on the beach, with all the strange cries and noisy energy peculiar to sailors on shore. A flap hanging on to the stern then formed a platform, over which the cannon were landed, and where the horses were coaxed to pass. To land the latter was rather a difficult task, for the poor ani mals, notwithstanding their long imprisonment on board ship, one and all declined to walk the plank, although terra firma was the reward: By dint of pushing and pulling the sailors managed to land the horses, and this part of the programme seemed to afford them immense delight. It cer tainly enabled them to display that equestrian science and profound knowledge of horse flesh which, as everybody well knows, is a characteristic of the naval profession. If now and then a horse would roll off the plank into the water it was un fortunate, but this certainly did not occur more than three times out of six. Tho only result was a ducking for man and horse, which did neither any harm. The horse would have a comfortable roll on the dry sand, and join his place in the rank. But if, as s ome ti mes wou ld occur , a s tiff artillery man with a straggling moustache missed his footing and fell plump into the water, then matters became tragic. The surrounding sailors and his very com rades would burst out into thatdelicate and pleasant laugh peculiar to Englishmen ; whilst the sympa thising crowd on the beach, composed of English, French, and native Tartars, would re-echo the jeer, and welcome the poor wight to Russian ground. CADlZ.—Accounts from Cadiz regarding the Spanish wine trade state that, in consequence of the reduction of duty in France, several buyers on a large scale have arrived, and have already made some considerable ship ments to that country at high prices. THE GREEK LOAN.—The particulars have been ad vertised of the series of bonds of the Greek loan, gua ranteed by England and France, drawn in conformity with the redemption clause of the contract. It is also stated that the portion of bonds guaranteed by Russia has been purchased, but that the numbers remain to be published. _ _ - The Ocean of Brest, of the 25th, says :—" A cannon ball fell yesterday within a metre of a boat near Pointe Armorique. It appears that this projectile must have come from the Turenne line-of•battle ship, which was at the moment trying some new guns of long range, which, with a full charge of powder, will, it is said, send a ball to a distance of three miles. The boat was only two miles distant at the time." The exact position of the landing-point is diffi cult to describe. It occupies a part of the coast, flanked by the sea and the salt lake of Kamishli, the intermediate distance extending some three . hundred yards Here is encamped the great e r portion of the infantry and cavalry. To the right, in the direction of Staroe Uriplenie, or Old Fort, rises an elevated plain, on which is the remainder of fhe British army. Here also Lord Raglan has established his quarters. In advance, on the same plain, the French army is encamped, and to its left is the Turkish corps. The English light divi sion is ahead. MR. OLIVEIRA, M.P., AND HIS CONSTITUENTS.—A very numerous meeting of the electors of Pontefract, pre sided over by Wm. Jefferson, Esq., the Mayor, and attended by most of the influential inhabitants, was held at the Town Hall, on Thursday evening, when Mr. Oliveira gave his constituents a general statement of the measures and proceedings of the late session, and went very minutely into the poliey of the Government with reference to the war, the financial state of the country, agricultural prospects, and other topics of interest. The hon. gentleman was very warmly received, and his ac count of public affairs appeared to give general satisfac tion to the meeting, which was composed of gentlemen of various political opinions. DEATH OF W. H. BARTLETT, ESQ.—Mr. W, H. Bartlett, whose premature death at sea has just been announced, was well known to the public by his histo rical and illustrated works. His " Forty Days in the Desert," " Nile Boats," " Walks about Jerusalem," and other works of biblical and classical interest, have already passed through several editions, and acquired a steady popularity both in England and America. His last published work, " The Pilgrim Fathers," is a his torical narrative of great interest ; and, like its prede cessors, is beautifully illustrated by drawings taken on the spot, If the sea presented a lively scene, it was cer- tainly surpassed by the land. Hero the small breadth of space was crowded by a busy throng. Artillerymen collecting their horses, officers can tering up and down inspecting the landing, foot soldiers going to fetch water—all were mixed up with a miscellaneous crowd of lookers-on. Now a troop of horses would pass to collect forage, or a body of native Algerians return from a successful razz A of cattle and odd-looking country carts. The beach was lined with bathers mixed up in a delicious equality, the dashing hussar breasting the same wave as the mild-looking man of the line, or a small drummer boy. Then on shore were groups of French soldiers calmly look ing at the scenes, and ejaculating a good humoured "sacre " when jostled by a too energetic sailor. Some of the soldiers were endeavouring to open a conversation with the natives, whom this unexpected invasion had surprised. Although the conversations in themselves were limited, they were successful in making both parties laugh and shake bands. The native Tartars—of course not one Russian, the dominant race, dare show himself— have much resemblauce with the Tuxii, re. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. All the vessels were drawn up in immense lines, with a front extending over nine miles, and with an unknown depth, for the rigging and sails of the distant transports lielonging to the expedition were lost far below the horizon, and after we had anchored stragglers arrived every hour for two or three days. We were all expectation of a gun from the Agamemnon, and signals for landing. Thou sands of telescopes were earnestly directed to the shore, the appearance of 'which has been already described. No gun was fired, however, arid no signals made to let loose the expedition on Eupa toria ; but a short conversation by signal took place between Generals and Admirals, and towards eight.o'cack.the Agameionon pent off boats to the steamers and transports with the following order to the Quartermasters-General of the divisieus : " ORDERS FOR SAILING. " WEDNESDAY NIGHT. " The Light Division to be actually under way at 1 a.m. tomorrow morning. "The fourth division to sail at 2 a.m. "The Ist division to sail at 3 a.m. " The 3d division and the sth division to sail at 4 a.m. " Steer S.S.E. for eight miles. Rendezvous in Ist. 45 deg. Do not go nearer to shore than 8 fathoms," About 9 o'clock one black ball was run up to the fore of the Agamemnon, and a gun was fired to en force attention to the signal. This meant divisions of boats to assemble round ships, for which they are told off, to disembark infantry and artillery. There was as I have said no enemy in sight, but long before the French had landed their first boat's cargo the figure of a mounted officer, followed by three Cossacks, had fallen within the scope of many a glass. The Russian was within. about 1,100 yards of us, and through a good telescope we could watch his every action. He rode slowly along by the edge of the cliff, apparently noting the number and dis position of the fleet, and taking notes with great calmness in a memorandum book. He wore a dark green frockcoat, with a little silver lace, a cap of the same colour, a sash round his w a i s t, an d l ong leather boots. is horse, a fine bay charger, was a strange contrast to the shaggy rough little steeds of his followers. There they were, "the Cossacks,"atlast —stout compact-looking fellows, with sheep-skin caps, uncouth clothing of indiscriminate cut, high saddles, and little fiery ponies, which carried them with wonderful ease and strength. Each of these Cossaks carried a thick lance of some 15 feet in length and a heavy-looking sabre. At times they took rapid turns by th• edge of the cliff in front of us—now to the left, now to the rear, of their officer, and occasionally they dipped out of sight, over the hill, altogether. Then they came back, flourishing their lances, and pointing to the accumulating masses of the French, on their right, not more than half a mile from them, on the shore, or scampering over the hill to report progress as to the lines of E ng li s h b oa t s advancing to the beach. Their officer behaved very well. He re mained for an hour within range of a Minie rifle, and when the Highflyer stood in close to shore, while he was coolly making a sketch in his portfolio of our appearance, we all ex pected they were going to drop a shell over himself and his little party. We were glad our expecta tions were not realized, if it were only on the chance of the sketch being tolerably good, so that the Czar might really see what our armada was like. Meantime the English boats were nearing the shore, not in the order of the programme, but in irregular groups ; a company of a regiment of the Light Division, the 7th Fusiliers, under Lieutenant- Colonel Yea, 1 think, lauded first on the beach to the left of the cliffs ; then came a company of the 2d Battalion of the Rifle Brigade, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Lawrence ; a small boat from the Britannia, commanded by Lieutenant Vesey, had, however, preceded the Fusiliers, and dis embarked some men on the beach, who went down into the hollow at the foot of the cliffs. The Russian continued his sketching. Suddenly a Cossack crouched down and pointed with his lance to the ascent of the cliff. The officer turned and looked in the direction. We looked too, and lo a cocked hat rose above the horizon. Another figure, with a similar head-dress, came also in view. The first was Sir George Brown, on foot; the second we made out to be Quartermaster-General Airey. The scene was exciting. It was evident the Russian and the Cossacks saw Sir George, but that he did not see them. A picket of Fusiliers and Riflemen followed the General at a considerable interval. The Russian got on his horse, the Cossacks followed his example, and one of them cantered to the left to see that the French were not cutting off their retreat, while the others stooped down over their saddle bows and rode stealthily, with lowered lances, towards the Englishmen. Sir George was in danger, but Le did not know it. Neither did the Russians see the picket advancing towards the brow of the hill. Sir George was busy scanning the country, andpointing out variousspots to the Quarter-Master-General. Suddenly they turn, and slowly descend the hill—the gold sash dis appears—the cocked hat is eclipsed—Cossacks and officers dismount, and steal along by the side of their horses. They, too, are hid from sight in a short time, and on the brow of the cliff appears a string of native carts. In about five minutes two or three tiny puffs of smoke rise over the cliff, and presently the faint cracks of a rifle are audible to the men in the nearest ships. In a few minutes more the Cossacks are visible, flying like the wind on the road towards Sebastopol, and crossing close to the left of the French lines of skirmishers. As the r ehips of our expedition drew up in lines parallel o the . beach, as nearly as possible as set forth in the general directions I sent you some days ago, the French fleet passed us under steam, and extended itself on our right, and ran in close to shore below the cliffs of the plateau. Their small war steamers went much nearer than ours were allowed to go, and a little after 7 o'clock the first French boat put off from one of the men-of-war; not more than 15 or 16 men were on board of her. She was beached quietly on shore at the southern extremity of the red cliff I have mentioned. The crew leaped out ; they formed into a knot on the strand, and seemed busily engaged for a few moments over one spot of ground, as though they were digging a grave. Presently a flag staff was visible above their heads, and in a moment more the tri colour was ran up to the top, and fluttered out gaily in the wind, while the men took off their hats, and no doubt did their " Vive l'Empereur !" in good style. The French were thus the first to take posses sion and seizin of the Crimea. There was no enemy in sight. The most scrutinising gaze at this moment could not have detected a hostile uniform along the coast. The French Admiral fired a gun shortly after 8 o'clock, and the disembarkation of their troops commenced. In 22 minutes, they say, that they got 6,000 men on shore. This was very smart work, but it must be remembered that nearly all the French army were on board line-of-battle ships, and were at once carried from their decks t o th e land by the men-of-war's boats, The Montebello carried up wards of 1,400 men, in addition to her cre w . Th e Valmy had in all 3,000. The Ville de Paris and Henri Quatre were laden with men in proportion ; and all the line-of-battle ships and steamers had full cargoes of troops. In fact it was found that their small brigs and schooners were ne ith er sa f e nor comfortabl, and that they were better suited for carrying stores and horses than men. The fleet of French men-of-war carried more than 20,000 men. Their whole force to be landed consisted of 23,600 men. Our army amounted to 27,000 men, and were embarked in a vast number of transports, covering a great extent of water. But they were carried in comfort and safety; and, though there was still much sickness on board, it was as no thing compared to the mortality among the closely packed French. Perhaps no army ever was con veyed with such luxury and security from shore to shore as ours in the whole history of war. The in stant the French had landed a regiment, a company was pushed on to reconnoitre—skirmishers or pickets were sent on in front. As each regiment followed in column, its predecessors deployed, extended front, and advanced in light marching order en tirailleur, spreading out like a fan over. the plains. It was most curious and interesting to observe their progress, and to note the rapid manner in which they were appropriating the soil. In about an hour after their first detachment had landed, nearly 9,000 troops were on shore, and their ad vanced posts were faintly discernible between three and four miles from the beach, like little black specks moving over the corn fields, and darkening the highways and meadow paths. In our fleet the whole labour and responsibility of the disembarkation rested with Sir E. Lyons. The Admiral remained, as I have said, aloof, and took no share in the proceedings of the day. When we landed we heard th a t Si r G eorge Brown had a near escape of being taken prisoner. He was the first to land, and pushed on without sending videttes or men in front, though he took the precaution, very fortunately, to bring up a few soldiers with him. The Cossacks who had been dodging him, made a dash when they were within less than a hundred yards. The General had to run, and was only saved from capture by the fire of the Fusileers. The .Cossacks bolted. The first blood spilt in this campaign was that of a poor boy, an Arabjee, who was wounded in the foot by the volley which dislodged them. Meantime swarms of boats were putting off from the various ships to carry the English troops to land. The Light Division got on shore very speedily, and were all landed, with the exception of a few companies, in an hour. The First Division landed simultaneously with a portion of their friends of the leading division, the Duke of Cambridge and his staff being early on the beach with their men, and the Brigadiers Sir C. Campbell and Major-Gene ral Bentinck precedingtheir respective brigades. As each regiment landed, the brigade was formed in contiguous columns at quarter distance. The Light Division on the left, the First Division the next, and so on in order towards the right. The Second Division was under way ere the whole of the Light or the First Division had landed. Sir de Lacy Evans got on shore with his staff about 104. By 11 the Rifles and Fusiliers had been inspected, and were marching from the left of the line, along the front of the other regiments, towards the right. They ascended the slope of the hill over the cliffs, py the pickets and sentries who had been placed on outpost duty by Sir George Brown, arid marching straight on over the plain I have described inland. It may be as well to re- oispitulikte our fore° ;...The Light Division, Sir George Brown-2d Battalion Rifle Brigade, 7th Fusiliers, 19th Regiment, 23d Fusiliers, 33d n egi meet, 77th Re g iment, 88th Regiment, Brigadier Major GeneralCodrington and Briga i er- Ge u er al Buller, The former gallant officer has Lad a rapid promotion. I believe he never commanded a regiment, much loss a brigade, but being a Captain in the Guards, and a Colonel in the army, lie was made Major-General in the last brevet, and instead of going home on promotion, became General of the Brigade, the command of which had been vs' cated by the appointment of Colonel Airey to the post of Quartermaster-General in lieu of the la mented Colonel Maule. Major-General Codringtoa has, however, a good reputation as a soldier, which he will, no doubt, justify more fully as soon as as occasion for doing so presents itself. The Ist Division, under she Duke of Cambridge , includes th e Grenadier, Coldstream, and Scots Fu silier Guards, und er Major-General Bentinck, and the 42d, 79th, and 93d Highlanders, under Briga dier Sir C. Campbell. The 2d Division, under Sir De L. Evans, con sists of the 30th, 55th, and 95th, under Brigadier - General Pennefather, and the 41st, 47th, and 49th, under Brigadier-General Adams. The 3d Division, under Sir R. England, is com posed of the Ist Royals, 28th, 38th, 44th, 50th, and 68th Regiments—Brigadiers Sir John Camp' bell and Eyre. (4th Regiment only six companies.)

Sir John Burgoyne may be presumed to contre l the ordnance and engineers, but it is stated 0 0 he will not in any way interfere with Brigadier'. General Tylden. By 12 o'clock in the day, that barren and deco' late beach, inhabited but a short time before only by the seagull and wildfowl, was swarming wit h life. From one extremity to the other bayonet! glistened, and red coats and brass-mounts" shakos gleamed in solid masses. The air We t filled with our English speech, and the hum of voices, mingled with loud 'notes of commano!, cries of comrades to each other, the familiar ad dress of "Bill" to "Tom," or of "Pat" to "Sandy, and an occasional shout of laughter. Veil' amusing was it to watch the loading and us loading of the boats. A gig or cutter, pulled by eight or twelve sailors, with a paddle-box boat, flat' or Turkish pinnace in tow (the latter purchased for the service), would come up alongside a steamer or transport in which troops were ready for disembark' atiou. The officers of each company first de tended, each man in full dress. Over his shoulder was slung his hay ersack, containing what bad been/ ere it underwent the process of cooking, 4ilb. of salt meat, and a bulky mass of biscuit of the sam° weight. This was his ration for three days. O ir. sides this each officer carried his great coat rolled alh and fastened in a hoop round his body, a wood en canteen to hold water, a small ration of splirm whatever change of under clothing he could DWl age to stow away, his forage cap, and, in most /*" stances, a revolver. Each private carried his blanket and great coat strapped up into a kind ° , knapsack, inside which was a pair of boots, a pair of socks, a shirt, and, at the request of the men themselves, a forage cap ; he also carried his wat er canteen and the same rations as the officer, a for' tion of the mess cooking apparatus, firelock bayonet, of course, cartouch box and 50 round of ball cartridge for Minis, 60 rounds of smooth-bore arms. As each man came creeping down the ladde r Jack helped him along as tenderly from rung o rung till he was safe in the boat, took his firel an stowed it away, removed his knapsack, an d _ packed it snugly under the seat, patted him on Oil back, and told him " not to be afeerd t ° ., water ;" treated " the sojer," in fact, in a T er i_ kind and tender way, as though he were a larg e but not very sagacious " pet," who was not to DI frightened or lost sight of on any account —a n did it all so quickly that the large paddle-ho* . boats, containing 100 men, were filled in fiv e minutes. Then the latter took the paddle-bo in tow, leaving her, however, in charge of a car e : fill coxwain, and the same attention was paid to getting the " sojer" on shore that was evinced in getting him into the boat, the sailors (haif or wholly naked in the surf) standing by at the bows, and handing each man and his so' coutrement down the plank to the shingle, for fear " he'd fall off and hurt himself." Never did men work better than our blue jackets—especially valuable were they with horses and artillery, that their delight at having a horse to hold and pat all to themselves was excessive. When the gun-car riages stuck fast in the shingle, half a dozen hercu' lean seamen rushed at the wheels, and, with * " Give way, my lads—all together," soon spoked it out with a run, and lauded it on the hard sand' No praise can do justice to the willing labour of these fine fellows. They never relaxed their effort as long as man or horse of the expedition remaine d to be landed, and many of them, officers as well al men, were 24 hours in their boats. At 1 o'clock most of the regim e nts of the Light Division bad moved off th e b eac h over the hills an d across the country toward s a v ill age nea r which th s : advance of the French left had already approaohe“ The Second Battalion of the Rifle Brigade led th o way, covering the advance with a cloud of skirroish i ers, and the other regim en t s f o ll owe d i n ord*r ° theirseniority, the artillery, under Capt. Andersen; bringing up the rear. By this time the rain began_, . fall pretty heavily, and th e w i n d rose so as to sane " little surf on the beach. The Duke of Cambridge, followed by Major Macdonald, led off his division next in order, and many of the staff officers, who 041: to have been mounted, marc h e d on f oo t, as the'' horses were not yet landed. Generals might be seen sitting on powder barrels on the beach, awaiting 3 r; rival of "divisionalst a ffh orses ," or r eti r i n g gloom il y within the folds of their macintosh.' Disconsola te doctors, too, were there, groaning after hospiw panniers —but toe sorely needed, for more than one man died on the beach ; and nearly every you met asked you after a particular horse, 0 %" colour and description you were certain not ',- have seen. The beach w as p ar titi one d o ff by vsal, staffs, with colours corresponding to that of e 3 h division, in compartments for the landing of ee; class of man and beast ; but it was, of tours almost beyond the limit s o f p oss ibili ty t o observ e the difference in condu c ti ng an operat i on which must have extended over many square miles of water. Shortly before two o'clock, Brigas' e l; General Rose, the Commissioner for the Britis Army, with Marshal St. Arnaud, rode over frog the French q uar t ers t o inform Lord Raglan that " the whole of th e F renc h troops h a d landeu• This was by no means the fact.

The disembarkation was carried on long S tter sunset, and part o f th e Thi r d Di v i s i on and the Fourth Divisi o n, rema i ne d on t h e b eac h and „„ '- the hill near it for the night. S ATUR DAY. The disembarkation o f cava l ry an d ar till e ry CO n i tinues. Lord Cardiga n s t ar t e d on a reconn aisat e this morning, with a portion of the Bth Hasse: 13th Light Dragoons, 250 Rifles of Ist Battal and 2 Horse Artillery guns. They went 25 MT —saw no Cossacks —returned very much fatiguli; and suffered severely from want of water. ' l ,l l horses had nothing to drink from the time they the ships . till Sunday morning —more than 30 11011— ,:, While the troops were Aisembarking one of the reconnoitring steamers returned with news o .f ht Russian camp situate near the beach, about eight miles south of the place where we were landing: The Sampson, the Fury, and the Vesuvius, in n ° , 111 0 „. pany with three French steamers, at one t in ceeded to the spot indicated. They found a. ca— ' of about 6,000 men formed at a mile's chetann.e, from the sea. The steamers opened fire with. ehehlel at 3,000 yards. The French shells burst 01 the air, or fell short. Th e F ury an d Vesuvius were little more successful; b u t the Sampson pitched shell after shell right in among the tents, knock' . ng them over right and left, and driving the s oldierY, in swarms out of the camp, which was destroy ed after less than an hour's firing. The squadron returned to the fleet having effected this service, and will proceed to-morrow to cruise off Sebastopol. A letter from Bucharest of the 18th, in a Vienna paper, says :—" We conti nue t o receive details of the disembarkation effected in the neighbourhoo d of Eupatoria. This little town, which is sur rounded by a wa ll , was occup i e d on the day 0 1 disembarkation by a detachment of 500 French, English, and Turks. The Russian garrison eva cuated the town on the morning of the 14th, and retired to the Great 'Lake at Treablan, probably with the intention of going to Simpheropol. Th e allied tr oo p s are marching direct against Sebasto pol, in the direction of Simpheropol and Baur link. The reserve concentrated at Varna was 20,000 strong, and after its disembarkation a second reserve of 30,000 men,. also destined for the Crimea, is to be concentrated there ; •eo, that the expedition, including the sailors o f the fleets, will' amount to 130,000 men' On the 19th a Turkish steamer arrived at Vara 1
