CHRISTMAS PROSPECTS. It is usual for Christmas to be preceded by presents distributed with true English enthusiasm and liberality. The Least overflows , 1 with congenial influences, and the prospect of happy g itherings of friends and relatives becomes a strong stimulant to elaborate prepara tions. E. MOSES and SON have made their arrangements on the most comprehensive scale, every luxury and comfort in attire is brought to a state, of completeness aed perfection which has not a precedent; there is not a novclty which the present state of inven tion and manufacture could prod uce,w hich any country could import, or which native and foreign skill could devise, but it is combined in the Christmas provisions made by E. MOSES and SON—the exqui sitely elegant for Balls, Parties, and Assemblies —the warm, comfort. able, and serviceable, for travelling or ordinary wear—Juvenile Costumes In resplendent variety, and in extent of Stock which is perfectly astonishing, are associated with appropriate and supetior Dress for Working Men, who may employ their money to greater advantage at the Establishments of E. 210SES and SON than at any ether house in the world.

The Wholesale Department which F. Moses and SoN keep at their City Establishment is unr.valled for extent of stock, and secures unequalled rdvartages In outlays to large or small amounts. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and 30N regret na - iine to guard the public against impoSition,havine learned that the antradesman-like falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " it's the same concern," has been retorted to In many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No COVNEXION WITTI ANT °ram AOTISE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 151, 155. 156, and 157, Minories, 84, 85, and 86, Aidgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

MR. BRIGHT, M.P., AND THE WAR. A public meeting was held yesterday in the Manchester Town-hall, which had been called to "to enable the citi zens to declare that they do not concur in the opinions of Mr. Bright, but aro fully convinced of the justice and ne cessity of the war, and earnestly hope that it will be car ried on with the utmost vigour, until the objects for which it was commenced are thoroughly effected." The meeting had been callow by a requisition to the Mayor, signed by upwards of 600 inhabitants of all political parties. Mr. Bright and his friends attended, and were received by a perfect storm of cheers, hisses, and groans. Th e h a ll was crowded to suffocation by upwards of 1,000 people, who clamoured loudly for the meeti ng t o b e a dj ourne d to the open air. On the platform were Mr. Benjamin Nicholls; the Mayor; Sir John Potter, Sir Elkanah Armitage, Messrs. J. Aspinall Turner, Robert Gladstone, William Entwisle, George Wilson, Henry Ashworth, R. H. Greg, William Evans, William Lawson, W. B. Watkins, E. R. Longworthy, Robert Barnes, Absalom "Watkin ' Alexander Henry, James Heywood, M.P., W. Bi c kh am , P. F. Wil lert, Alfred Watkin, W. Rayner Wood, Joseph Simpson, and many other merchants and leading inhabitants. Mr. R. W. WOOD rose to Move the first resolution, and spoke at some length, but the greater part of his observa tions were entirely inaudible, owing to the clamour which was raised throughout the meeting. He said the meeting would not hear from him a word of attack upon the hon. teember for Manchester or any person whatever. He would treat the question, at all events, in a calm and philosophic spirit, without the slightest mixture of per sonal feeling. When the gentletnen who originated this meeting did him the honour to ask him to propose this resolution, they made the re ques t , an d h e comp li e d w ith it, with ;he understanding and determination that the question should not be mixed up with any electioneer ing measures or any party proceedings ; and for himself and for them he entirely disclaimed any intention of that sort, or he would never have connected himself with these pro ceedings. He should have refused stinks connection on the ground that such a cowrie was unjust, for eelebettglrher dime aerated from the sentiments contained in the letter. of Mr. Bright as widely as his friend Mr. Watkin or Mr. Entwisle, yet there was nothing in that letter which was not per fectly in accordance with the opinions, soar as he knew them, which Mr. Bright held when he w as e l e cted for Man chester—(hear)----and he for one world never be a party to attacking any man because hehonestly maintained under all circumstances the opinions which he honestly enter tained. The question which the people of Manchester were called upon to decide to-day was simply whether or not they approved the energetic prosecution of the war, which hail been shown to be both just and necessary ; and he contended that such an expression of opinion was ren dered imperative by the publication and universal circula tion of the letter of the representative of Manchester. With the view of affording the people of Manchester an opportunity for expressing their opinion this meeting had been called ; and with the same view he now submitted to them the following resolution : "That this meeting, having John Bright, Esq., M.P., has been t rans l a t e d an d circulated learnt that the letter of in Russia, desires publicly to de c l are th a t th e citizens of Manchester do not concur in the opinions expressed by Mr. Bright, but, on the contrary, being convinced that the war is just and necessary, do earnestly desire that it may be carried on with the utmost vigour, until it shall bo ter minated by a secure and honourable peace." (Loud cheers and groans.) Mr. ABSALOM WATBIN seconded the resolution, but very few words could be distinguish e d, owing to the inces sant cries of " Outside !" and th e usual partisan interrup tions. He said the requisition to the Mayor for the call ing of this meeting had originated with some gentlemen who had hitherto always voted for Mr. Bright, and would vote for him again as member for Manchester, when they had the opportunity. He was bound to say that the gentlemen of the Conservative party with whom he had been brought in contact on this oc casion had been most anxious that the resolution should assume no party form ; but that a meeting should be called which should enable the people of Manchester to give expression to opinions which, it was believed, were identical with those of the great body of the people of England. The people of Manchester believed that this war was just and necessary, because they saw that Russia was an aggressive Power, and that she had stolen the territory she now occupied from her neighbours. They saw that Russia aimed at enclosing the Mediterranean and the Baltic within her own possessions ; and, being a Power that was dangerous to the liberties of Europe, and there fore ought to be diminished, they were of opinion that this war ought to be continued until we had achieved a sure and honourable peace. Mr. W. B. WATKINS, an alderman of the city, came for ward to move an amendment, and was received with the same deafening noises as the other speakers. In the circle around him only a few broken sentences could be heard, to the effect that whatever their opinions might be on the war, he was sure they would not respect Mr. Blight, if, knowing his opinions on such subjects, they found him swerving from those opinions now. Although he might differ himself from the hon, gentleman in some of his views, he had the highest admiration for his talents and the straightforward honesty which led him to an open avowal of his principles. It was no secret to his constituents that Mr. Bright had always advocated the doctrine of non-intervention in the affairs of other countries. Ho still retained those views. (Hear, hear, cheers, groans, and protracted uproar.) If he had changed the opinions upon which he first came before the country the constituency would have reason to complain, but no one could condemn a man because he would not change his opinions and act a g ainst his conscience. Who wore the majority of the men who had signed the requisition to call this meeting ? They included some highly honourable men, and men for whom he had the highest respect in their private character, but were they not exactly the men who bad always opposed Mr. Bright? (Cheers and uproar.) Their object was to make political capital out of the move ment, to use against him whenever an election of Parlia ment might come, and therefore he (Mr. Alderman Wat kins) should vote against tho resolution. (Uproar.) As regarded the c on d uc t o f th e war, it was i n the hands of th Government and of Parliament, and, as far as he could judge, it was supported by the majority of the country, and was a popular war • but surely that was no reason why those who thought differently might not express their opinions. He would move as an amendment : " That whereas in the requisition presented to the Mayor requesting him to convene the present public meet ing of the inhabitants of Manchester a letter written by Mr. Bright, our hon. representative in the Commons' House of Parliament, to one of his constituents, is alluded to as the cause of the requisition having been got up, it is the opinion of this meeting that Mr. Bright exercised an undoubted right in expressing his opinions on the subject of the war which unhappily exists between this country and Russia, and, although unhappily those opinions may differ from the vi ews of many of his constituen t s, it wou ld be unfair, tyrannical, and unjust to censure him even by implication for th e h onest and manly avowa l o f hi s senti ments upon a subj ec t so important to a ll c l asses o f thi s kingdom." Mr. A. HENRY (late M.P. for the county) seconded the amendment. He said his opinions were not in accordance with those of Mr. Bright on the war, but every man had a right to the free avowal of his opinions ; an d cer t a i n l y no one who had read th e requisition could dou bt th a t th e ob ject was rather t o d amage Mr. Bright as a politician than to express dissent f rom his views on the war . H e confi dently hoped that the amendment he now seconded would therefore be carried. (Continued confusion.) Mr. W. ENTWISLIg, banker said if he bad thought that the object of this meetin g was to be confined to party pur poses, or that the men of Manchester would be swayed upon this question by any feeli ngs b u t th o se of an urgent sense he would no t h ave coe ssnted to take any part in it. (Ch eers and groans.) It was an ex t reme ly narrow view of the qs only to oppose Mr. uestion that had brow ht them there to suppose that it wa Bright- (Loud of public duty, calls for Mr. Bright, met by groans and opposition . ) He quite conceded th e r i ght of Mr. Bright to express his opin ions, but he held the duty of the meeting to be widely different from what had been a lleged by the mover of the a mendment. Th e question was as to the position of Man- I chester and Engl an d ; and he contende d that they would not be doing their duty to the Administration, who were committed to this war, was if the did England was n o t did not give them their support. The questi on peaceful professions on his pledged to set a li mit to the encroachmen t s o f a Power which threat ene d the liberties of Europe — w h e ther it should support th e position of the Sultan, w h o was a n old , w ally, or wheth er i t should allow him to b e oppresse d by a ny ono who, with f air words and lips, bat with war in his heart, had ma d e re li g i on a c l oa k for designs whi c h aimed at despoil i ng hi m of h i s domin ions. If th e meeting would have a true i nsight i n t o th e objects of the Emperor of Russia, let them take the map of Europe, and see the extent to which he has increased his territories within 70 or 80 years. Let them look at the nature of the p ropos i tion of the C zar t o thi s country i n 1845, for the di v i s i on of the Su lt an ' s t err it or i es. It was sometimes said th a t we m i g ht continue our cotton spin ning in di sregar d of - what was taking place 3,000 miles away, and that it was only the meddling spirit of diplo matists that had committed a peaceful and industrious people like that of England to the losses and hazards of the war. He entirely differed from that opinion. He did not believe that the other nations of Europe would have stood by and suffered the ultimate dismember ment of the Turkish empire, and tie only question would have been whether we should be involved in a war with Russia or forced into a still more terrible war with a Power nearer home ? He would ask what might have been the consequences of our trade and com merce if we had had a rupture with France ? (Cheers and groans.) Mr. BRIGHT, M.P., then came forward to the front of the platform to address the meeting, and was received with a storm of cheering, hooting, groaning, and whistling, which lasted exactly thirteen minutes before the hon, gentleman attempted to utt er a wor d. Then, findi ng that there was a party in the meeting sufficiently strong to prevent him from obtaining anything like a full hearing, he a dd resse d himself to the comparatively small number near him, who were endeavouring to listen, and was under s t oo d to speak as follow s , a ft er a few introductory words which could not be distinguished :—I shall not occupy more than a very few minutes in saying that on this question of peace and war I claim for myself to have the right freely to express my views, and if I am unfortunate enough not to coincide with the views of every portion of my constituents, I regret it extremely, but I shall not fear on this, as on all questions, to avow my opinions. I have on many occasions differed from a portion of my constituents, but I have never flinched from what I believed to be true and right with regard to public affairs, and I shall not flinch from it now. The object of my letter was to assist in bringing about such a temper of tho public mind that the Government might find no obstacle, when an opportunity offered for I bringing about a restorati on o f p u bli c tranquillity. do not regret having written that letter. lam able to prove everything that is in it, and I rejoice at the discussion which it has created, not in Manchester only, but through , out the kingdom, and in many parts also of the continent of Europe. Every man who clamours for war makes peace more difficult, and every expression of hostility may lessen the power of the Government, on some future occasion, , perhaps, to make peace. My object is to take away from England and from Europe this great calamity of war ; and, whatever may be the result, I shall never shrink from keeping that course which I have taken up to this time. I shall not attempt further to address so tumultuous a meet ing as this, but I have made my appearance here to show my firm conviction that the course I have taken is cen t sietent with the true lagristo of this equiltrY, (The )feA.

THE LATE MURDER.—The Sunday Times states, that previous to the duel at Egham taking place Barthelemy had married the daughter of Mr. Moore. Or, the sen tence of imprisonment being passed upon her husband, Mrs. Barthelemy became so deeply affected that she almost lost her reason. Mr. Moore, under the circum stances, deemed it advisable to place her out of the way, so that Barthelemy, at the expiration of the term of his sentence, should not be able to find her out. On Barthelemy leaving prison, he made various inquiries for his wife, and those proving of no avail he gave up his search, and settled himself down as a single man. On several occasions he had been known to make use of violent declarations against Mr. Moore, whom he believed to be the cause of the absence of his wife. Things went on very quietly until some time ago, when, on receiving the promise of an appointment, he soli cited Mr. Moore to give him a character or recommen dation to the parties who were about to engage him. Mr. Moore, it is understood, refused to accede to Bar thelemy's request, and ordered him to quit his house. Since this occurrence it would appear, from various circumstances, that the murderer had formed a firm and deadly hatred towards his victim. SEABORNE MAlLH.—Notice was issued from the General Post-office yesterday that in consequence of the late arrival of the Iberia mail steamer the Peninsular mail would not be made up in the General Post-office until this evening.

The uproar and confusion, which had commenced with the first speaker at 11 o'clock, and continued without abatement for a single moment, was now such that the town-clerk had difficulty on behalf of the Mayor in call ing for a show of hands. The first show was at 1 o'clock, but his worship was not satisfied, and after taking another show requested the meeting to divide to either side of the room. This caused additional confusion in so crowded a room, and when the next show of bards had been taken it was so nearly equal that his worship was still undecided. Other shows were called for, and after a whole hour thus wasted the Mayor declared upon his conscience he (lid not know whether the amendment or the original motion had the majority of votes. He believed the only course left was to record their names as they left the meeting, but that ho was told was impracticable, and he had no other course but to dissolve the meeting. (Cheers and groans.) The meeting then separated. In addition to the crowd in the Town-hall great numbers of people were waiting outside, who learned the result of the proceedings with some astonishment. Mr. Bright proceeded to a separate meeting of his own friends in Newall's-buildings. MEETING AT TAE LEAGUE ROOMS. Mr. Bright, on leaving the meeting at the Town-hall, proceeded on foot to the League-rooms, accompanied by a crowd, which groaned and hootod him, some of them even threatening him with their fists, while kis friends loudly cheered him. The Council-room of the League was soon filled with a very numerous assemblage of Mr. Bright's supporters, and a vote of thanks was passed to the gentle- men who had moved and seconded the amendment at the Town-hall. Mr. BRIGHT addressed the meeting at considerable length with reference to the proceedings of the day, and the cir cumstances which had led to them, as well as on the policy of this country in the war. He said it would be remem bered that his recent letter on the, subject of the war was in reptr to :One froth ktr. Watkins, asking him to attend icnieetink"to collect subscriptions for the relief of the widowe and orphans of soldiers, at which that gentleman ' cOnsiderectit desirable that the representatives of Manches ter should be present, that he (Mr. Bright) should make a speech to explain his views on the war, and that the meet ing should decide whether to petition for peace or go on with the fund and support the war ; he did not see much connexion between the two. Nothing could be more out of place than to make a charge against him because his let ter was published at St. Petersburg, which would equally have applied if he had made a speech and that had been published in St. Petersburg. Mr. Watkins should not have written him the letter if it was not desired that his sentiments should be made more public than could be avoided. No man in England could have less sympathy than he (Mr. Bright) had with the Russian system of go vernment, and he was one of those who had received with the greatest delight the ex-governor of Hungary when he came to this country, and who was the most wonderful man, probably, that had visited these shores for a long time. He had not merely disliked, but he had an absolute horror of what he considered the unfortunate and wicked step which was taken by the Russian Government in put ting down the attempt of the Hungarian people to gain freedom for themselves, and he had no doubt that a great deal of the present clamour in this country against Russia had been the inevitable consequence of that false step. But should it not rather tend to shake the confidence of the people of this country as to the cause in which they were engaged, when the Czar did not fear to laybefore the people of his capital a translation of a statement of facts such as his (Mr. Bright's) letter? He hoped the people of Russia would learn from it that there was a country—unfortunately, the one with which they were at war—where, however strongly public opinion might run in one direction, and although there might be a violent clamour in its favour, yet a man might, in opposition to that clamour, and fearless of the public opinion and of Government alike, publish his own opinions to that public and to the world ; and he hoped it might lead the people of Russia to consider whether they might not, with great propriety, endeavour to make their own system of government approximate more nearly to the one which permitted the exorcise of such freedom. Were we all to shut our mouths when our Government made a grievous mistake in foreign policy, which might lead to consequences that not only ourselves, but our posterity would have to regret ? And was he not to warn his coun trymen when he found them running after something which would turn out to be a " Will-o'-the-whisp " and a delusion ? With regard to the meeting of that morning, he could only say, without wishing to be in the least de gree uncharitable to those who had not been very charita ble to him, that with the fact that out of the 613 names attached to the requisition for that meeting, not more than 43 of all the 18,000 electors of Manchester could be found who voted for him at the last election ; it was difficult to believe that personal feeling and party hostility had had nothing to do with it. His opinions on the question now chiefly occupying the attention of the country were well known, and he had stated them fully at a meeting at the Albion Hotel not more than a year ago, as well as in the House of Commons last March, and whatever might have been there said in reply by the Minister who was sup posed to knew so much more of foreign affairs than any other, he had ventured upon no answer to his (Mr. Bright's) arguments. The people of this country be lieved that they wore engaged in this war with a noble object, but he believed the sequence would show that the war had no reference to the liberty of Europe or the ad vantage of this country ; and we might form some estimate of its character from the character of those who wore Oh gaged in it as our allies. And it was no easy matter to humble a great empire as it was proposed to "humble Russia." if there were such a combination of Govern ments for the purpose of humbling this country and dis membering our empire would not every man among us, who conceived it possible that he could handle a musket, rush to resist the invader? But now we were reduced to the necessity of engaging 15,000 German mercenaries—men who had no mere moral principle than to sell themselves to slaughter anybody in any part of the world ; anti he (Mr. Bright) should give his most decided vote against the measure which was now before the Legislature in refe rence to the hiring of foreign troops. In conclusion, Mr. Bright expressed his doubts of the continuance in power of a coalition Government which had shown that it had never coalesced and contained none of the elements of strength ; but he was ready to support that or any suc ceeding Government which should avail itself of any honourable opportunity to restore tranquillity to Europe. (Loud cheers.) LORD DUNDONALD ON THE WAR. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING HERALD. "Death is preferable to the endurance of false imputa tion when credited by the public." Sir,—l send you an anecdote from my Greek journal showing the effect of hot shot even on vessels of slender construction, and consequently the peril that would at tend a protracted naval attack on batteries prepared to lodge that comparatively tenfold destructive missile in the store rooms, or in the solid scantling of ships of war. From this practical proof a discerning public can not fail to draw a just inference in regard to the profes sional judgment and judicious forbearance of Sir Chas. Napier in avoiding destruction to the fleet intrusted to his charge.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, DUNDONALD. Twenty-three Greek armed vessels, equipped, pro visioned, and paid by the Hellenic committee, together with seven fire-ships, were nearly ready to proceed and attack the Turkish and Egyptian fleet is Navarino, in order to frustrate their intended invasion of the Islands of Hydra and Spezzia, when in an evil hour (as it then appeared) the Greek Government at Egina granted a letter of marque to an influential friend. No sooner had the fierce " sea lions" commanding these national vessels learnt the concession of this seemingly inestimable boon, which (as naval Commander in-Chief) I had stipulated should not be conferred on any person, than they manned and armed their launches, and without leave asked or given set off for Egina to intimidate the feeble Government to " do them equal justice ;" the consequence of which was, the weakening of the national armament, so that crews for seven vessels and three fireships could scarcely be collected. Considering what course could be pursued under such untoward circumstances, it occurred that it might be well to follow the advice given in one of the Philippics, which I had read a few days before whilst sitting on a stone (near the ruins of the temple), whereon it is said the banished orator was wont to meditate on the perils of his country. In that oration Demosthenes warned his fellow citizens not to await the development and then endeavour to counteract the enterprises of the enemy, but promptly to adopt measures whereby to distract attention and frustrate Lii plans. It was resolved to put this counsel in execution. Therefore, having proceeded, and passed by Navarino out of sight from its heights, and arrived off the Gulf of Lepanto, the steam-vessel Enterprise, the Sauveur brig of war, and three gun-boats, were sent in (under the command of the brave and zealous Captain Hastings) to destroy several small Turkish vessels of war and some transports, all of which were speedily burnt by sparkling white hot shot, corruscant from the furnaces of the boilers. Intelligence of this unexpected attack was quickly conveyed to Navarino. The Ottoman fleet, as was anti cipated, got under weigh to punish the aggressors, but on passing Zante, where the flag-ship of my gallant friend Sir Edward Codrington lay, Sir Edward, indig nant at the breach of faith of which the Turks seemed guilty (for they had acquiesced in an armistice a few days before), made sail, and singly standing thwart the Turkish line, fired across the headmost vessel. The Ottoman chief, to avoid hostilities with an all powerful maritime nation, retraced his course, impressed with a belief that Sir Edward countenanced an aggres sion of which he wa s as i g norant as the G reek expedition was of the existen ce of an armistice. Th e decisive battle of Navarino followed soon afte r . Thus, at the expiration of 2,000 years, the counsel of the most celebrated of p ersecuted patriots (so arrogantly reemjeacntoeidpawtiloinenogiven) oumnatry from ybesaid a t y o ok h e av m e reachieved ecruel d the degrading than the dreaded sway of the Macedonian Monarch.

SEELHADI HARBOUR.—The seamen of this port have clubbed together to supply the harbour with a life-boat. They have advanced 101. from the funds of their associa tion, and subscribed small sums amongst themselves. They have also appealed to the Royal National Institu tion for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck for assistance, and the council have given them a favourable reception. The institution is running short of funds, and is about to provide two boats to southern ports, but Captain Ward, R.N., inspector of life-boats, has written them a very encouraging letter, warmly eulogis ing their spirited attempt to help themselves by putting their own shoulders to the wheel, and at the same time he pays a flattering compliment to the seamen of Hartle pool, whose boat has merited a reward for saving life twice in a very short time, and the gallant captain ha s no doubt the tars of Seaham will emulate their example. As one means of raising the wind, the committee of the Seamen's Life-boat Committee have published a p oem placed at their service , entitled the " Bea con ;" d by way of encouragemen t to so laudabl e an enterprise, the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have given them a good order for copies, for the service of the fleet, to start it with.

Moorings are ready prepared for her when the weather permit her making the harbour. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELL.TGENCer A litter from her Majesty's ship Neptune, 120, Cap. tain Hutton, dated Queenstown, 8.30 a.m., Saturday, states- 1 " We were prevented moving yesterday by a strong S.W. gale ; this morning it is more moderate, and we are just getting under way. The St. George will follow during the day, having embarked the 91st Regi ment yesterday, under the command of Colonel Camp bell." The defects of the St. Jean d'Acre, 101, screw, Cap tain the Hon. H. Keppel, will be made good by Satur day, the 23d inst. Those in the shipwright depart ment at Devonport have been of a trifling nature ; those in the engine more extensive. She is to sail for Ireland as soon as possible to embark troops and stores for the Crimea. Princess Royal, 91, at this port (Devonport), was lifted on Saturday in order to replace her false keel. Every exertion is being used to get her ready as soon as possible. - Exmouth, 00, screw, Captain non. F. T. Pelham, is in a forward state at Devonport. The seamen and riggers have discontinued working extra on her. She is in all respects ready to be taken out for trial 80 soon as her crew join from the Prince Regent. Calcutta, 84, Captain James John Stopford, returned to Devonport from Falmouth yesterday afternoon, hav ing picked up several good seamen. • The Ajax, 60, screw -block ship, Captain Warden, was undocked and hauled into the fitting basin at Ports mouth yesterday.

His Serene Highness Prince Victor of Hohenlohe- Langenburg, of the Powerful, 84, is promoted to the rank of lieutenant. THE ROYAL ALBERT. Letters have been received from the Royal Albert, dated Gibraltar, Dec. 1. One of her crew, writing to his brother, says—" We arrived here at noon to-day, having had a most delightful passage out. The whole way we might have towed our captain's gig, the water was so perfectly smooth. The engines, without a stop page, worked admirably. I never witnessed such a happy group as our crew and troops-2,400 men ; and from the time we left Portsmouth we have not even bad one case of sea sickness ; all hands say it has been her Majesty's own weather. Had it not been for the motion caused by the screw, we should not have known that the Royai Albert was at sea. ' WEATHER AT SHEERNESS. Shortly after noon yesterday the barometer had fallen to 28.18. At intervals of from 5 to 10 minutes there were terrific squalls of sleet and snow, and it was found necessary throughout the ships in harbour at Sheerness to hoist the foul weather signal, in order to prevent boats leaving their ships. Many that were on shore were obliged to remain until slack tide, in consequence of the cross sea running on the ebb tide through the harbour. All the steam tenders kept their fires banked up is case of their 1. eing wanted. At 4.45 p.m. it was still blowing heavily from the north-west. FREE CARRIAGE OF PARCELS TO THE CRIMEA. The iron screw steamer Loire will leave Southampton for Balaklava on the 30th December, chartered by Messrs. Crockford and Co. Parcels, &c. (to the extent of 20 tons measurement), addressed to officers or men of the army in the Crimea, will be carried free of charge ; the South-Western Railway Company have also agreed to deliver them free at the Southampton Docks. Per sons desirous of availing themselves of this opportunity must obtain forms, and leave them, properly filled up at the office, 160, Piccadilly, on or before Friday, the I 22d of December, daily, between the hours of ten and three ; and the parcels must be brought to the office on Tuesday, the 26th, and Wednesday, the 27th of Decem ber, between the hours of nine and three. A receipt will he given for each parcel. Each parcel must be packed in a wood case, not exceeding 13 inches long, 12 inches wide, and 12 inches deep. Not more than one parcel will be taken addressed to the same person. Messrs. Crockford and Co. will not hold themselves liable for the contents of the parcels, or insure them from sea risk, &c., but will undertake to deliver them to some properly appointed authority for distribution upon the arrival of the steamer at Balaklava. ARRIVAL OF THE TYNEMOITTH AT BALAKLAVA. _ The Tynemouth steamer has arrived at Balaklava with a load sufficient for a vessel of much greater pretensions. She conveyed 1,220 soldiers and eight horses, with am munition 'mad camp equipage, besides towing a brig laden with Turkish stores and having on board 29 men. and 27 horses. The Tynemouth brought up his Excel lency Osman Pasha, the Turkish Commander-in-Chief. A letter written on board the Tynemouth, dated Balaklava, November 27, states that the people were in tolerable spirits, and were looking forward to a decided blow being struck shortly. The rain had made the roads almost impassable for carriages between Balaklava and Sebastopol, but it was supposed that the inconve nience would be felt more by the Russians than by the Allies, as the latter could not have the same facility for obtaining provisions. Osman Pasha sent a letter to Captain Dundee, commander of the Tynemouth, express ing his gratitude for the kindness shown to himself and officers during the passage from Stamboul to the Crimea. MILITARY. The 72d Highlanders last week obtained a warrant from the Grand Lodge of Masons in Ireland, and now form Lodge No. 65. RECRUITING IN TIPPERARY.—Fifteen young men were attested in Nenagh, on Thursday last, for the com missariat department in the East. They are to be em ployed as waggon-drivers, and will receive 2s. 6d. a day each, and be attired in military uniform. They leave on Monday for Dublin, en route to their destination. THE ZOUAVES ON BOARD THE ROYAL ALBERT. The Algiers journal, the Akbar, of the 10th inst., has the following : " The 14th battalion of Foot Chasseurs and the 11th, 16th, and 25th Regiments of Light Infantry are ordered to the Crimea, and will shortly embark for that destina gEdurincouldgreceivedofvisitorN h thsehexiceepstaßral Albert tteforete atten tion paid to th em b y the English, who invited them to a collation, at which champagne was served in profusion. The first soldier wearing the uniform of the Zouaves who appeared on the deck of the Royal Albert was the object of a real,ova tion. He was actually carried in triumph by the sailors and soldiers. On the other hand, the English officers of the Queen's Guards, of the Scotch regiments, of the Artillery, and the Marines experienced a meat cordial reception on the evening of the 4tb, from our artillery officers, who were celebrating the fete of their patron, St. Barb,. The next morning a numerous body of French officers, with Colonel de Fenelon at their head, accom panied our British guests in their excursion t h rough the ne ighbourhood.

Th e G overnor-General ad interim and the Admiral visit ed the Royal Alb t TROOPS FROM INDIA FOB THE WAR. and in of Nov. well informed Th ere s q e e n m a r s t etros toobe a (n d a o y u n b t t h n e n p t n e n r n ta a i n o t, e ry e r 12), as to whether the 78th Highlanders, whose regular tour of service in the East is nearly ended, will form a part of the force which, whether the Shah accepts th e protection of the Allies or not, will certainly be sent from India to Persia in March or April next. This gal in number s as some o f ghal lant corps, Majesty's establishment, thorueg g hinineonttssoonstr th on is g can bring close upon 800 bayonets into the field. We believe, for our own part, that the 78th Highlanders will form a portion of the Persian field force, and that that fine re giment, her Majesty's 6 4th Foot, a t Belgaum---01,wards of 000 strong, we u n d erstand—will also be despa t c hed to Iran, along with our old friends of the Roya l County Downs (the 86th), now the strongest European regiment on this establi s h ment. We understand t h a t the force i s to be compos e d ent i rely of Europeans, to be drawn from this country and Europe, and that Fr ance will f urnish her quot a —th e whole to consist of 20,000 men. We hear nothing sa id a bout artillery, but should imagine that a very strong brigade might be made up from the Indian Presidencies. The Bombay Artillery —both horse and foot batteries—has been declared by the highest military authority (the late Sir Charles Napier) to be quite equal to the Royal Artillery in every respect ; the Bengal Artillery are, we should think, very little, if at all, inferior to either, and we imagine the be nighted are not behind the sister presidencies, so there can be no difficulty in selecting a strong force of this arm from India. WARM CLOTHING LOST ON BOARD THE PRINOZ.—Yes. terday a return showed that 35,700 woollen socks were lost on board the Prince, 53,000 woollen frocks, 17,000 cannel drawers, 2,500 watch coats, 16,100 blankets, and 3,700 rug Time tting`-
