The Allied squadron in the Pacific has attacked the Russian fort of Petropaulovski, in Kamschatka, where the frigates Aurora and Dwina had taken shelter, has disabled the two ships and left them prisoners to the ice, destroyed two batteries, and taken three vessels, one of them the Sitka, a mer chantman carrying ten guns, and having on hoard six Russian officers and a cargo worth 200,000 dollars. Petropaulovski is situated on the eastern coast of Kamsebatka, near its southern extremity, in latitude 53 north, and longitude 159 east, from Greenwich. It is a fortified town of some 2,500 inhabitants, and is one of those advanced posts which, for the last half century, it has been the policy of Russia to establish on the frontier of her dominions, in time of peace, for the conveni ence of her commerce, and in time of war as places from which operations by sea might' be supported. The attack was made under great disadvantage on the 30th and 31st of August and again on the 4th of September. The loss of the Allies has been stated to be sixty-four, but L'Echo du Padfique, of Oct. 15, states it thus :—" Total number of men killed, wounded, and left on shore, belonging to French squadron, 98 ; of the English squadron, 111 ; total loss of the Allies, 209." Rear-Admiral Price was accidentally killed by a shot from a pis tol in his own hand, and Captain C. A. Parker, of the Marines, on board the President, has fallen in battle. The French have lost Lieutenant Lefebvre, of the Eurydice, and Ensign Gucquel, of the Obli gado, left on shore, and Lieutenant Bourasset, of the Eurydice, killed in attempting to land. - The principal loss took place on tbe,4tli, when the landing was effected, the 'force gating entangled in a shrubbery, where it was exposed to the galling fire of the enemy's skirmishers. The following account of the affair is from L'Echo du Pacifique, of Oct. 6 : "The squadron sailed from Honolulu on the morning of the 25th of July, at 5 o'clock, the Eurydice and Amphitrite leading off, and the Forte bringing up the rear, by order of the Admiral, and by 4 o'clock p.m. the islands were out of sight. The same day the batteries were loaded and`they commenced to exercise the men in gunnery with the musket. On the 30th the Amphitrite and Artemise were ordered off to San Francisco. On the 14th of August the Eurydice was lost sight of in the midst of a thick fog, and did not answer to the guns of the Forte, which sounded the recall. On the 22d the President disguised her batteries by a thick coat of paint, which example was followed by the Forte. On the 25th the Eurydice was signalised, and took her position in the rear of the Forte, signalising land 10 miles to the west ward. On the 28th land was in sight of the whole squadron being the peaks of the Mounts Avatscha, Koselski, and Villenchinski; the sun's rays being thrown on their snow clad sides enabled them to clearly distinguish their out lines. The vessels hove to, and the English Admiral boarded the Forte. The Obligado, covered with can vas, put into the Bay of Avatscha to reconnoitre, fol lowed by the Virago, with Admiral Price on board. ' - " The preparations for battle then commenced, and they took down the partitions of the Admiral's quar ters in the Forte's battery. The Obligado returned with the Virago from her expedition, the latter reporting that she had gone within two miles and a half of the batteries at Petropaulovski. The following morning the order to make sail was given, and the squadron entered the Bay of Avatscha in the following order —The President, Forte, Pique, and Eurydice, the Virago taking her position on thel left of the Presi dent, and the Obligado on the left of the Forte. At 25 minutes past 1 the allied ships hoisted their flags, and at half-past 2 the squadron was under fair way, the men at their quarters, matches lit, hospitals prepared; and magazines opened. " Whilst anchoring, the batteries, four in number, opened a fire on them, which proved harmless, as, owing to the distance, the balls failed to reach them. The batteries were— ".Ist. The Schakoff battery, situated on the point of that name, which controlled the entrance of the pert entering to the left. "2d. A battery located on the point to the right. "3d. A battery, flanked with twelve pieces of cannon elevated on the tongue of land which closes the entrance of the port. " 4th. A battery situated on the peninsula, which masked the western side of the city, behind which the masts of four vessels, one a merchantman, and the other three men of war, could be discovered. "At half-past 4 o'clock the frigate President ordered the Virago to advance to the peninsula and open her firs on the Russian forth, which fire was responded to by tke firing of bombs from the city, which did not reach the vessels, but burst in the air. "To deceive and annoy the Russian sentinels, lan terns were carried about the vessels, and guns were fired to counterfeit signals. On their side, the Russians kept up fires in their forts. The following morning they made ready for hostilities. An officer was detached from the Forte with orders to make a reconnaissance and to deter mine a position for the frigate which would enable her to cannonade the fort of Sebakoff and the flanked bat tery, without being exposed to the fire of the Russian frigate. "A cutter, commanded by an officer of the Eurydice, co-operated in this reconnaissance, in which the com mandants of the Eurydice and Pique took part. It was thus ascertained that Fort Schakoff was manned by five pieces of cannon of strong calibre, that the battery which flanked it was fortified with twelve 36-pounders, and that the battery on the right, less dangerous, was shel tered but by feeble fortifications. The English Admiral gave orders to the master gunner of the Pique to fire upon that battery and endeavour to dismount a piece of ordnance ; the kill, well-aimed, struck the piece, ewhich stood upright on its carriage, which, being shivered, placed it hors de combat. The flanked battery was evi dently the one rnostdifficult to subdue, being constructed with fasoines of a little over 12 feet in thickness. On the receipt of the report of the officers charged with the reconnaissance, the bombardment commenced. The Pipit, was made fast to the starboard of the Virago, and the President was placed in the rear of the steamer; the Forte took. a position on the larboard of the Virago, the side on which they found the vessels ; they easily distinguished the Russian transport, broadside to, in the rear of the frigate Aurora ; of the latter they could only see three of her middle port-holes, the residue being hidden by a hillock. The Virago ad vanced within reach of the carmen of the beacon. A ball from that quarter having struck the water a short distance from her, the Virago responded with a shell, which struck the lower framework of the beacon. At this moment (quarter past 1 o'clock) a cutter from the Pique boarded the Forte, and the commander of the Pique, accompanied by his aide-de-camp, with the French Admiral and the Surgeon-General, boarded the President, as Admiral Price had fallen mortally wounded by the explosion of a pistol in his own hands, the ball of which had entered his heart, in consequence of which the drummers beat the retreat, and hostilities were sus• pended. "An hour later, two cutters from the President cap tured a Russian launch, cutter-rigged, manned by nine sailors. " On the morning of the 31st of August Fort Schakoff opened its fire, which was answered by the guns of the Pique. The Forte brought her broadside to bear abreast against Fort Schakoff and opened upon it a continuous fire, and the-President opened upon it a cross fire ; the Virago disembarked a body of troops a short distance from the right hand battery. The Forte thundered away at Fort Schakoff, whose fire percepti bly abated. The landed force rushed upon the right hand side battery ; the Aurora opened upon them a tremendous fire, which for a moment checked their headway. A loud hurrah welcomed it, and when the smoke had dispersed the force was master of the battery, demolishing the gun carriages with axes, breaking the caissons and spiking the guns. From the ships a body of abont 200 Russians were dis covered, advancing to retake the battery. The Pique and Forte protected the re-embarking of the force, which was done in good order by their guns. The Forte commenced then to fire grape and canister upon the flank battery, which had begun to increase its fire and had sent four balls into the hull of the frigate, and as many ihto the upper works as high up as the poop or quarter deck—the netting (combing) of the fifteenth gun having been completely carried away, the repairing of which was immediately taken in hand. The Forte bore up to within about eight cables' length of the battery, but not being able to reach it except by firing ricochet shot, it took half an hour to silence half the Russian guns. The Forte re doubled her efforts, and seconded by the guns of the President, the battery ceased its fire at half-past two, the Russians evaceating it and joining the force on board the Aurora and Dwina frigates. The cannonading ceased oa all sides, and night was passed in repairing the havoc of the enemy's guns. " On the let of September the Virago proceeded to the bay of Tarinalci, where the remains of Admiral Price were interred, and cams back with three American sailors, deserters from whalers, who communicated im portant information in regard to the topographical situation of Petropaulovski. On the 3d of September a council of war was held on board the Forte, and a second attack planned for the ensuing day. To disembark seven hundred men of both nations, the English marines, and the French reserve forming a special force of one hundred and sixty riflemen. The greatest activity pre vailed on board the men of war. Sixty cartridges were distributed to each than, and orders were given to place in all the boats an extra supply of ammunition. i Capt. De la Grandiere was appointed to the command of the French, and Capt. Burridge of the English force, the marines being under the order of Captain Parker, their commanding officer. M. de la Combe, of the Eury dice, led the Frcuch reserve platoons ; M. Thomas, the Forte's crew, having under his orders Messrs. Gauvain and De Kersaint. The general command of the boats was given to M, Boarasset, and the hospital staff and arrangements were under the superintendence of M. Reynand, surgeon in chief of the Eurydice. • The day was passed in these preparations, and both officers and sailors were eager for the combat. On Monday, the 4th of September, at 3 a.m., the drum called every one to his post.. The disembarking troops were sent on board the Virago, which proceeded to the lower portion of the peninsula. •The fort opened the first fire, and the ball striking the upper works of the Virago, the Forte responded, dismounting one of the guns ; the guns of the fOrt, admirably aimed, redoubled their fire on the Forte, the balls whistling over the frigate ; one went through and through the main mast about fifteen feet above the deck, another lodged in the middle of the mizen-ruast. The President laid to at the side of the Forte, and the two vessels protected the disembarkation by their guns, which, took place at about eight o'clock, and the two batteries silenced. The commander of the Forte pointed out to the gunners an oil storehouse, a nd promised promotion to th one who could set it on fire ;• the first shell struck on the top thereof, setting it in flames, and it continued to burn six hours. The troops landed and marched to the batteries, the. English marines leading, followed by soldiers and sailors of the expe dition, when on their arrival they found the guns aban doned and spiked. The riflemen, without stopping at the battery clambered up the height and forced their way in the mass of shrubbery which covered it; the residue of the force quickly followed, and the whole body was received with . a galling fire, to which they responded. The firing came from all sides of the heavy thicket and impenetrable 'underbrush. The Virago, leaving the land forces, proceeded to the northern point, from whence a heavy fire proceeded, unmasking a horse battery of five guns, on a little stream at the entrance of the city, which she silenced. _During this time the be sieging force met with an energetic contest from the Russian skirmishers—the fire resounded on f all sides of the height. Exposed to a terribly galling fire the sailors fought manfully and desperately, engaged in their im petuosity in an inextricable shrubbery, pursuing an in visible enemy whose fire was decimating their ranks ; their superhuman efforts could not overcome . the • natural obstacles of titkir poeitibre. •• Captain Parker fell at the head of the English en ariees the moment they meat with the enemy ; at his side M. Bour asset fell. M. Lefebvre, lieutenant of the Eury dice, • was killed ; Mr. Howard, aide-decamp to the English Admiral, had his arm fractured by a ball. In face of so disproportionate a combat, no thing was left but to order a re-embarkation. The great object of the enterprise, however, was attained, the fort was evacuated, the Russian gunners were dead at their pieces, and the guns spiked. They were unable to push forward without exposing themselves to great peril, and the dislodgment of the Russians would sacri fice too many lives, situated as they were in a wood, of whose size or paths they ware totally ignorant. The troops retired in order, under cover of an ambuscade of one hundred men, who, behind the ruins of the fort, kept the Russians at bay by a sharp fire, conveying to their boats their dead and wounded, and they put off under the escort of the Virago. On board the Forte the carpenters were at work repairing the damage ; the wounded were conveyed t o th e h ospitals, and all busily engaged in removing the traces of the fight. " The ensuing day (the sth) they interred the remains of the dead at Taronski, the Abbe Ricardi performing the religious ceremonies. On the 6th the squadron re fitted, and on the 7th they set sail from Petropaulovski. On this cruise they fell in with two vessels, one a three master, seemingly a man-of-war, in pursuit of which the Virago was despatched ; the second proved to be a schooner, which was captured and taken in tow. " The President was sent in chase or the ship, on whom she gained rapidly. At 12 o'clock she fired a gun to bring her to, which failed to accomplish the ob ject, and she then_beet to quarters and prepared for bat tle ; hut'at one o'clock the Russian struck her flag and the President took possession of her. She proved to be the Sitka, merchantman, of 800 tons, frorn:Ayan, in the Sea of Ochotsk, with stores for the gerrisen at Petro paulovski. Her cargo is valued at 200,000 dole. The Sitka carried ten guns, and besides her crew of captain, four officers, and twenty-four sailers, had eleven pas sengers, six of whom were officers. On the Bth of Sep tember, the schooner was fired and abandoned at sea. On the Bth of October, at 9 a.m., the French men-of war arrived in our port, having left the English squa dron, taking the Sitka into Vancouver's Island. " Such is the detail of this combat, one of the bloodiest fought between the Allies and Russia. If the combined spuadron did not reap a victory, it has nevertheless suc ceeded in gaining important advantages. The Rus sians have lost a considerable number of men, whom it will be difficult to replace ; they have lost quite a number of guns, spiked and destroyed, and moreover they have lost stores and articles of subsistence which the city is sensibly in want of. Remote from all reinforeeMents, without hope of procuring provisions, the garrison of Petropaulovski is at the same time :int off from the rest of the world fur the season. An isolated fortress, cen tred amidst impenetrable ice, they are only able to de stroy without anything to conquer. It was not Petro paulovski, but the Russian frigates that were attacked, and if they have not captured them they have disabled them. The Aurora's masts were shot away by the broadsides of the Forte, her hull riddled with balls, her sails torn to shreds, her armament partially de molished, and, more than all, she is retained a prisoner by the ice in a port where it is impossible to repair damages in order to go to sea. The dangers which our ships have braved have not weakened in the least their equipments, nor diminished the en thusiasm of their crews. Superior to the enemy, they were obliged to stop bef)re obstacles which their courage could have overcome ; but then the con quest exacted sacrifices which were far from being in proportion to the results that they have proposed to attain, the more so as the vessels were short of provisions not a regular siege. and stores. They only a t tempted a coup de m ai n, and " Throughout — the entire duration of this expedition and the voyage which preceded it, the most perfect har mony has rei g ned bet ween the English and French. On land arid on tea, at anchor in the Sandwich Islands, before the fire of Petropaulovski, the officers and sol diers of both nations have made themselves acquainted by a long contact only to love and esteem each other ; the two nations, previously rivals, friends to-day, yield ing to the same th oug h t and mingling their blood upon the same field of b a ttl e. In the Polar Seas of Asia and the coast of Bom arsun d the same sympathy and emula tion reign. It was side by side with our soldiers that the gallant Capt. Parker fell, whose last cry was a rallying one. It was at his side that our officers and sailors fell, decimated by an invisible enemy. A. friendship founded on mutual esteem and cemented by like memorials as sures for ever the union of the two greatest nations of the earth." NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The Royal Albert, 121, Captain Sir T. Pasley, re ceived a supply of coals at Spithead yesterday, and will . be ready for her troops to-morro,.v. The Prince Regent, 90, Captain Henry Smith, C. 8., discharged her powder and shell on Tuesday, and was towed into Portsmouth harbour yesterday afternoon. It is supposed she will be put out of commission, and' her crew appropri a t e d for a screw ship. The Calcutta, 84, Captain J. J. Stopford, which ar rived at Falmouth, on the 17th inst., and will he sta tioned there for the winter, is short of her complement a good many men, which they hope to procure on the inflaX of merchant shipping, by volunteering. The bat teries and other new works at St. Mawe's Castle, on the right hand entrance of Falmouth, are progressing rapidly, and those at Pendennis Point, on the left, will be soon commenced ; in the meantime the earth and stoneworks of the citadel are put in good order by contract masons, so that the artillery in quarters are in practical effi ciency. The Ajax, 60, Captain Warden, refitting at Ports mouth, will be paid wages to-day, and her crew will be granted leave of absence. The Dauntless, 33, Captain Ryder, left Spithead yes terday morning, at half-past 9, for the Crimea. Orders have been received at Devonport to expedite the fitment of the Cornwallis with a screw, and the men 'employed on her accordingly wo,k extra hours. --- Rear-Admiral IL B. Martin, C. 8., is expected to re turn to Portsmouth this day, and rehoist his flag on board the Leopard. ROYAL MARINES. The fol lowingappointments have been made in the corps of RoyaCMarines, conseq uen t on the promotions announced in the Gazette on Tuesday evening : C.iptain and Brevet-Major Thomas Holloway, of the Artillery Companies, to be Lieutenant-Colonel, and ap pointed to the Portsmouth division, vice Fynemore, re tired on full -pay. Captain and Brevet-Major John Charles Grey Court's, of the Portsmouth division, to be Lieutenant-Colonel, and appointed to the Plymouth division, vice Buchanan, retired on full pay.

Second Lieutenant Harry Boscawen Savage, of the Chatham division, to be First Lieutenant, vice Williams, promoted and appointed to a division which will be hereinafter named. MARINES FOR THE EXMOUTH. The complement of Royal Marines for service in the Exmouth, 90, screw steam-ship, commissioned by Cap tain the Hon. Fr6derick T. Pe at Devonvort, have been selected from the Chatham, Plymouth, and Wool wich divisions, and the Artillery companies at Ports mouth. From the Chatham division 30 privates. From the Plymouth division, 1 subaltern, 1 sergeant, 1 cor poral, 1 drummer, and 53 privates. From the Woolwich division, 1 captain (Captain Henry William Brooker), 1 subaltern (Second-Lieutenant James William Vaughan Arbuckle), 1 sergeant, 1 corporal, 1 drummer, and 30 privates.

The whole are to be armed with the rifled musket, pattern 1842 ; and the privates from Chatham and officers and men from Woolwich will leave the dock yard station of the North Kent Railway on Friday morning next, and proceed by railway from London to Devonport. MILITARY. A skeleton depot of the 17th will remain for the pre sent in Kilkenny, and will probably be joined there by some other skeleton depot. Captain W. B. Battiscombe's company, 91st (-Argyll shire) Regiment, relieved the grenadier or Captain M'Kenzie's company, in Spike Island, on Monday. Captain Morton R. Eden, 56th, has arrived, and as sumed the duties of aide-de-camp to Major-General Eden in the Kilkenny military district. THE 46TH MICHMENT:-A letter from an officer in the 46th Regiment, a native of Cork, dated on board the Prince, states that in addition to the 46th Regitvent, ,two officers of the 4th, and two of the 38th, are going out to join their regiments. Colonel Shadforth, of the 38th, is also going out. There were 43 officers on board. The vessel had the wind entirely in her favour. Nut a single accident has occurred, with the exception of one ,horse which had to be shot in consequence of a fall. The vessel did not touch at Malta. On entering the Archi pelago she met with a violent storm, which lasted three days. On Saturday, Nov. 4, arrived at Constantinople at eight a.m., and•were abreast of Scutari at seven a.m. A steamer came in from Sebastopol with the news that it was to be assaulted immediately, and the Prince was accordingly ordered off to Balaklava. She left for the Crimea on the evening of the 4th inst. DEATH OF LIEUT.-GENERAL SIR HENRY GOLDFINCH. Lieut.• General Sir Henry Goldfinch, K.C.8., died on Tuesday "at his residence in Upper Wimpole•street, of paralysis. Sir Henry was coronel commandant of the Royal Engineers, and entered the service so far back as March, 1798. He was with the expedition to Copenhagen in 1807, and was four years in the Penin sula, where his services included the capture of Oporto, battles of Talavera, Busaco, Vittoria, Pyrenees, Nive, Orthes, and Toulouse. Sir Henry wore a gold cross and the silver war medal for his services. DEATH OF GENERA.r, EGERTON. We record with regret the death of Lieutenant-Gene ral Egerton, C. 8., of this county. He entered the ser vice as ensign, in the 29th Regiment, on the lat of Decemher,.. 1798, and, after serving some time in America, he, proceeded, as captain of the 34th Regiment, to the Peninsula, in 1809. In the following year he was appointed to the staff as deputy-adjutant -general to the 2d division, in ,which capacity he served at the battle of Busaco, and in the retreat to and during the subsequent occupation of the lines of Torres Vedras. lie was then removed as senior adjutant general to the 4th division, was present at the siege and capture of Olivinza, the first siege of Badajos, and the hard-fought battle c f Albuera, where he was severely wounded. He was appointed aide-de-camp to Sir Row land Hill in 1812, on whose personal staff he remained until the termination of the war, and was present at the battles of Vittoria, the Pyrenees (for which he obtained the brevet rank of major.) Nivelle, Nives, Orthes, and Toulouse. On Lord Hill's appointment to a command with the army in Flanders, he selected Major Egerton as his first aide-de-camp, who served as such at the battle , of Waterloo, where he obtained the brevet rank of lieu tenant-colonel, and continued in the same capacity until the return of the army of occupation in 1818. When Lord Hill assumed the command of the army in chief, in 1823, he was pleased to name Colonel Egerton for the confidential appointment of first aide-de-camp and pri vate secretary, which he held during the whole period of his lordship's continuance at the head of the army, and remained his faithful friend and companion to Lord Hill's death in 1842. General Egerton has received the war medal with eight clasps. By his death the coloneloy of the 46th Regiment becomes vacant. In his life Ge neral Egerton exemplified all the social virtues of an English gentleman, and all the distinguishing attributes of a gallant officer ; and his death, which occurred on the 18th inst. at Eaton Banks, near Tarporley, in the 72d, year of his age, is sincerely regretted.—Chester Courant. THE MILITIA. The majority in the Kilkenny Regiment has been conferred, by the lieutenant of the county, on F. E. Tighe, Esq., late captain in the 823, in which regiment he served for about 10 years, and, therefore, brings considerable military experience to his present appoint. ment. The North Cork Rifles (Militia) have enrolled them selves with much success during the 4 days the enrolling has proceeded in Cork, under the personal superintend ence of Colonel Hodder and Captain Callaghan, adjutant. Upwards of 60 'volunteers are already attested, and a considerable addition may be expected in the course of this week, as the head-quarters are fixed at Fermoy, to which place the permanent staff have proceeded, thereto be stationed, under the command of the adjutant. It is more than probable that this regiment will before very long be embodied, and not unlikely exchange stations with an English regiment of militia. THE REINFORCEMENTS. Major Kelly, four officers, and 140 non-commissioned officers and privates of the 34th depot, at present in Plymouth citadel, have been placed under orders to hold themselves in immediate readiness to proceed to the Crimea to join the regiment ordered there from Corfu. This draft will be increased by about 50 volunteers. The command of the depot of the 34th will devolve on Cap tain Bourke. The volunteers from the provisional bat talion at Chatham for this regiment were to embark this day at Gravesend, on board the Dublin steamer for Plymouth, aid here join the corps. Orders have been received by the depots of the 17th Regiment in Kilkenny and the 89th in Waterford to famish detachments of 200 men each to sail imme diately for Gibraltar, and having there joined their respective regiments, to proceed with them to the Crimea. Captain Campbell's company, sth battalion, and Captain Wragge's company, 6th battalion, of Royal Artillery, at Woolwich, were inspected yesterday at the Ordnance Hospital, and have both been placed under orders to embark for the Crimea, to be employed as siege gun companies. They are expected to embark about :the end of the present week, in the Holyrood, No. 77, screw steam•transport. Lieht.-Colonel Remington, R.E , of the Kilkenny dis trict, is stated to be under orders for the seat of war. The 54th and 66th Regiments, whi •h have just re turned from Canada, are under orders to proceed to the Mediterranean, to replace two regiments sent up to reinforce the army in the Crimea.. The 54th will pro ceed about the end of the week to Liverpool, and em bark on board the Niagara for, we believe, Malta. These vessels will probably take out the regiments re placed by the 54th and 66th. The regiment of Coldstream Guards, says the Bury Post, has recently been very active in this town and neighbourhood in recruiting young and enterprising lads to raise its ranks to the full complement. The re cruiting party stationed here has, we understand, been signally fortunate, both in number and quality of the men obtained. A serjeant and two corporals of the Grenadier Guards arrived at Windsor ou Tuesday night, to ascertain what number of men of the Royal Bucks (King's Own) Militia were ready to volunteer into the Grenadier Guards, for the purpose of proceeding to the East, when nearly half the regiment ex pressed their readiness to proceed at once. As 25 per cent., according to the new regulations, is the number of men allowed to draft from militia regiments for foreign service, only 150 were permitted by the colonel of the regiment, Lord Carrington, to go ; consequently, about 30 volunteers left Windsor, by railway, for London, with the understanding that the requisite number would be subsequently made up from the detachment at Canter. bury and those remaining at head-quarters. In June last the whole of the officers and men stated their readi ness to go to the East or any part of the world, when offerieg their services for permanent embodiment. As the men left the station they were heartily cheered by their comrades. Immediately that the contents of the War-office cir cular of Monday became known in Plymouth garrison, and before it was officially promulgated, 50 men belong ing to the West Somerset Regiment of Militia gave in their names as volunteers for active service in the Ply mouth division of Royal Marines ; 50 others are ready to follow when the necessary arrangements are com pleted. About 100 men belonging to the South Devon Regiment of Militia, stationed at Devenport, will also join the Marines. This branch of the service is likely to secure all the volunteers from the two regiment:, partly because its bead-quarters are at Plyineuth. AMERICAN STMPATECT.—The New York: Herald has the following :—" The English, Scotch, and Irish, all over the world, are patriotically engaged io collecting subscriptions for the relief of the widows and orphans of the sailors, soldiers, and marines who may be killed in the present war with Russia. Already considerable sums have been contributed in Canada, and over $5,000 have thus far been collected in this city for this prairie worthy purpose. Honour the brave and protect the widow and orphan." THE NORTHERN COAL TRADE. —NEWCASTLE-ON TYNE, TUESDAY.—The weather has undergone a consi derable change since yesterday morning, and the vea having fallen on the coast, a large fleet of laden vessels got out to sea yesterday afternoon frem the Tyne, Wear, and Hartlepool. All the coal-laden vessels left in port will proceed on their voyages this afternoon. [PRICE SD. TIM GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY COM . PANY OF CANADA. Evidence of Sir Cusack Roney, before the Railway Committee of the Leuislative Assembly, at Quebec, on the 3‘l November, 1854. , 1. Have you a copy of the amalgamation agreement of the Grand Trunk Railway Company ?—I have. 2. D.ics it contain the contracts with the English and Canadian contractors for the several sections of the railroad ?—lt does. 3. How many sections are there referred to in the agreement that have reference to contracts ? Describe them 9—There are four sections, one from Quebec to Trois Pistoles, one from Montreal to Toronto, one from Belleville to Teterboro', and one from Toronto to Sarnia, and there is also the Victoria Bridge included in the agreement. 4. Beginning with the Montreal and Toronto, what is the length and the contract price ?—The length of the Montreal and Toronto section is 345 miles, and the total cost is 3,000,000/. (All answers that I shall give to the committee to-day referring to figures and accounts are in sterling.) 5. How nuich is the provincial guarantee on this sec tion ?- The provincial guarantee on this section is 1,035,0001. 6. Will you state what the contracts provide as to the character of the works 9—What are the bridges to be constructed of, the stations and other buildings ?—They provide that the line and all its appurtenances shall be equal to any first-class English railway, and superior to any now known or used on this continent. The bridges are to he of masonry or brick work, with iron tubes across the spans. All these tubes are on the principle of the well-known Britannia► Bridge across the Menai Straits in Wales. The stations and all other buildings, such as engineer repairing shops, &c., are to be of brick or stone covered with slate or metal. 7. Do the contracts include a supply of engines, freight and passenger cars, snow ploughs, work-shops, &c. ? They do. There is a specification which gives in detail the number of engines, cars, both passenger and freight, as well as gravel cars, snow ploughs, repairing shops, water houses, wood-sheds, in short every article required. fur efficiently working the railway. 8. Are the contractors bound to pay the entire interest on the capital stock as well as debentures of all kinds until the delivery of the railway to the company ?—Yes", they are so bound. 9.

Is this work commenced, and when is it to be finished ?—lt is fifty miles in length, and the cost is to be 400,0001. The works on this sec tion, and indeed I may say upon every other section of the Grand Trunk line, are I to be of the character de scribed in my answers having reference to the works of the Montreal and Toronto section. The line between Belleville and Peterborough is not yet commenced ; it is one of the portions we propose to postpone for the present, that is, until the money and labour markets are in a more favourable condition for carrying on great undertakings in Canada. 10. What is the contract price for the Victoria bridge ?-- One million font- hundred thousand pounds, with a power to th e eng i neer i n - c hi e f o f t h e company t; certify for the payment of another 100,0001. if; at the completion of the work, he is satisfied that that addi tional sum should be paid to Messrs. Peto and Co. 11. What will be the amount expended on the Vic toria bridge at the end of the present year, and at what rate are the works to proceed each year,—describe what has been done this year, and what is likely to be the progress next year ?—There wilij be about 200,0001. expended on the Bridge this year, and it is intended to expend from 200,0001. to 250,000/. each year during its construction. All the preliminary arrangements for carrying out the works have been organised ; and of actual work done, what we call pier No. 1, that is the pier next to the northern abutment, is finished. The pier No. 2 is progressing v cry satisfactorily, and if the weather continue open it may be nearly finished this season. The northern abutment will be brought about as high as the winter level of the St. Lawrence. The amount of masonry in this abutment may be judged by the fact that it is 242 long, 90 feet wide, and about 34 feet above the bed of the river. The solid stone embankment of 1,200 feet long, leading from the north shore of the St. Lawrence to the north abutment, is in active progress, and will be carried on during the winter. With reference to next year's works, I beg to state that they will, in addition to being carried ou from the norLh shore, be advanced from the south shore, so that under favourable circum stances, by this time twelve months, both the abutments, the solid banks leading to them, and seven or eight piers may be finished. Some progress has already been made in preparing the tubes, and this work will be car ried on energetically during the winter, and a couple of them will be put in their places next summer. With reference to the inquiry of an honourable member (Mr. Merritt), I am unable to say whether the space between the under surface of the bridge and the summer level of the St. Lawrence is in conformity with the first act. I only know that there will be an interval of GO feet be tween the one and the other. 12. When is it contem'plated that the line between Montreal and Toronto, or any of its sections, will be opened, and when will those between Quebec and St. Thorias, and between Toronto and Stratford ?—The line from Montreal to Brockville, about 125 miler, will be opened in September 1855. The line from Quebec to St. Thomas, 40 miles on the Trois Pistoles section, will also be opened in September, 1855. The section from Brockville to Kingston, about 50 miles, and from Kingston to Whitby, about 140 miles, in September, 1856. The lino from Whitby to Toronto, about 36 miles, will almost certainly be opened in September of next year. It is intended to open it, but Ido mot wish to speak of this length 1 0 confidently as I do of the other sections that I have stated will be opened in Sep- tember of next year. The section from Toronto to Stratford, 90 miles, will be opened on the Ist of October, 1855. 13. The committee then are to understand that it is expected that 390 miles of the Grand Trunk Railway, exclusive of the Montreal and Portland line, will be opened for traffic by next autumn I—Yes, the Quebec and Richmond, which will be opened within three weeks, and the foregoing, will make 390 miles. 14. What is the length of the Toronto and Sarnia section ? What is the contract price and the character of the work ? What are the names of the contractors ? —This section is 172 miles long. The contract price is 1,376,0001. The character of the works, and the supply of stock, are precisely the same as on the other sections of the railroad. The contractors are Messrs. Growski and Co. 15. How much has been expended on the works of the Toronto and Sarnia section to the present date ?- 576,7581. 16. What is the contract price of the Quebec aid Richmond section ? What are its length and the cha meter of its work, also the amount of provincial guaran tee ?—The contract price for the Quebec and Richmond section is 650,0001., and the provincial guarantee is 250,0001., or at about the rate of 2,5001. a mile, the length of the line being about 100 miles. The contract price for this hne is less than far the other sections of the Grand Trunk. The masonry of the bridges is of the same character, and the bridges themselves are tubular, the iron being of the same proportions as in the other sections of the Grand Trunk, but the station-houses are to be of wood, and the surface width of the railway is two feet less than the other sections. It is, I think, sixteen feet and the others are eighteen. The founda tions of all large structures are for a double track. 17. What is the length and cost of the Trois Pistoles section, and the amount of the Provincial guarantee ? —The length of the Trois Pistoles line is 153 miles. The contract price is 1,224,0001; and 459,0001. is the amount of the provincial guarantee. 18. What is the amount of provincial debentures issued for all the sections amalgamated with the Grand Trunk line by the agents of the province in London 1 State the amounts on the Grand Trunk and on each section amalgamated ?—Before the amalgamation of the St. Lawrence and Atlantic Company with the Grand Trunk, 400,0001. of provincial debentures had been issued to that company. Since the amalgamation, 605,8001. of provincial debentures had been issued to the Grand Trunk Company, of which 67,5001. have been given in right of the St. Lawrence and Atlantic Company, 250,0001. on the Quebec and Richmond, and 288,300/. in right of the Grand Trunk proper. This last is up to the latest date of our returns from London, namely, the 31st of 'August last. The sections from Montreal to Toronto, and from Quebec to Trois Pistoles are the sec tions entitled to the provincial guarantee. 19. Are any of the provincial debentures issued di rectly to the contractors ?—No, the contractors re ceive all their payments from their company in money. 20. Are the company restricted from selling the de bentures of the province below par ?—They are not so by the comp an y, th e y are i ssue d by the agents of thed province to th e s h are hold e rs of the company at tpa r ' on their payi ng f or th em i n full, and they are then sub jected to the control of the holders like any other descrip tion of property. 21. Describe the process by which payments on ac count of works aro made by the company ?—The en gineer in chief of the company, Mr. Alexander Ross, receives at the end of each month from his each and every different sub engineers, accounts of the progress work. These several statements are e considered and arranged in his office, an he submits to each monthly meeting of the board of directors certificates detailing under the several heads of expenditure the amounts to which the con t rac tors are entitled for the previous month. This process is adopted for each of the sections which I have named in a previous answer. The certifi cates having been considered by the board, resolutions, authorising the payments of the sums to which the con , tractors are entitled, are passed and recorded. Payment ' is, in the following week, made to the contracto rs un d er te authority and superintendence of the Finance Com. mittee of Directors. This practice is strictly in ac cordance with the English practice, and was adopted on the railway company of which I was secretary for eight years in England, during which period we expended up wards of eight millions sterling on works. 22. Describe the proceedings adopted to entitle the company to the money paid in London by the share holders on account of provincial debentures ?—When we are aware that works on the sections of the railway en titled to the provincial guarantee have been executed to the extent of 100,0001., I write, by direction of the board, to the secretary of the Board of Works, and en close a certificate from the engineer-in -chief of the com pany, stating the amount of work done on each section. I also request that the Board of Works will issue orders to the agents of the province in London, Messrs. Glynn and Baring, to release from their charge as agents, and to hand to the company, the proportion that 40 per cent. bears to the amount certified by the chief engineer. The Board of Works instruct their officer to put him self in communication with the chief engineer of the company, and also personally to visit and report upon the works upon which the release is sought. The railway commissioners subsequently meet and autho rise the receiver-general to instruct the London agents of the province to re'ease such amounts as they, on the report of their officer, may consider proper. This amount, under authority of such order, is then handed over to the company, and is lodged to its credit at its banker's ie Landon. "3. What is the total capital of the Grand Tr:ink Company? What is the total number of miles of rail way finished and under contract ? ;That is the number of miles entitled to the Provincial Guarantee, and total amount of such guarantee ?---The total capital of the Grand Trunk Company is 9,500,0001.

Of these the section,—from Montreal to Portland, is open, the Quebee, and Richmond about to be opened, and 290 miles will be finished next year,—in the fol lowing year, 297. The company temporarily suspends 233 miles, The number of miles entitled to the guaran tee is 724, and those not entitled to the guarantee, 388. The amount of the guarantee is 1,811,5001. 24. Can you state the amount of money paid by the shareholders of the Grand Trunk Railway Company, on account of shares, provincial bonds, and company's bonds, up to the latest period to which you have an account?- 3,721,9001. This includes the capital paid for the Quebec and Richmond, and St. Lawrence and Atlantic line. 25. Can you state the amount expended by the com pany, on the Montreal and Toronto, and Quebec and Trois Pistole sections of the Grand Trunk Company, and how much has been received on account of the guarantee from the Government ?—The amount expended is 1,296,423/. The amount released by the province, 310,000/. 26. What are the names of the - English and Canadian Contractors I—The names of the English contractors are Messrs. Brassey, Peto, Betts, and Jackson. Th e C ana _ dian contractors are Messrs. Gzeivskl, Galt, Holton, and Macpherson. 27. What is the amount of capital subscribed by private shareholders, what percentage paid thereon, what d o they receive as an equ i va l en t for their payments I—The total capital subscribed on the Grand Trunk proper is 8,083,600/., and the amount paid on such capital is 2,171,9001., of which a very small proportion is paid in Canada. On 7,246,0001. of this capital the shareholders receive share certificates at the rate of one share for each 251., and they also receive debenture certificates, which specify on the face of them the amount paid up. The debenture certificate also contains an undertaking on the part of the company that when the calls on certifi cate are paid in full, the holder will be entitled to ex change is for a province debenture, or company's de benture, as the case may be. The proportion which each share subscribed entitles the holders to is, that each 251. of share capital carries with it a right of 25/. of debentures, of which 12/. 10s. is province debentures, 'and 12/. 103. is company's debentures, The 837,600/. capital remaining to make the 8,083,6001. does not carry province debentures. og. Would you explain bow is the entire capital of the Grand Trunk Company distributed, and how much of the Fame paid in full ?—Tho total capital is 9,500,0001. Of thi.2, as I have already stated, 8,033,6001. was the portion required to be raised in London in April, 1353. This capital consisted of stock, 4,131,4001., company's bonds, 2,090,7001., and province debentures, 1,811,5001, ; of this capital there has been paid up on stock, 883,1561. company's Bonds, 553,3271., and province debentures, 735,4171., 605,8001., of bonds, have been issued, viz., 67,5001. on account of the St. Lame ice and Atlantic Section, 250,0001. on account of tiro Quebec and Richmond, 283,300/. on account of the Montreal and Toronto and Quebec and Trois Pistoles secti.ms ; in all, 605,800/. The balance which is in the hands of the agents of the pro vince is 425,416/, The r..nnainirg p or ti on o f t h e 9,500,000/. consists of capital raised prior to the amal gamation by the following companies :—St. Lawrence arid Atlantic—share, 246,0001,, bonds of the province, 400,0001., and other bonds, 233,0001.; total, 879,1001. Quebec and Richmond shares, 305,0001., bonds 100000/., Toronto and Guelph shares, 132,3001. , 29. Can you divide the expenditure of the 2,171,9001. on the several sections ?—Not very precisely as regards some, without referring to the books of the company and to our other documents which are at Montreal. Ap proximately I can inform the committee that 430,0001. have been expended on the section between Toronto and Sarnia (in addition to the amount paid on the Toronto and Guelph shares, which is about 126,0001.). On the St. Lawrence and Atlantic line 315,0001. On the Rich mond 50,0001. On the Victoria-bridge Iro,oool. I can give the precise sums that have been spent on the Mon treal and Toronto and on the Quebec and Trois Pistoles, which are the sections that are entitled to the provincial guarantee.

Her Majesty's Government having found it necessary to employ several of the contract packets belonging to the Royal Mail Steam-Packet Company, in the convey. ance of troops to the seat of war, the Company will be unable to provide vessels for the mails to Brazil, and the River Plate on the 9th December next, or for those to the West Indies on the 17th December next. No mails for Brazil, the River Plate, or the West Indies, will therefore be made up for despatch on the dates above mentioned. The Mails for Brazil, and the River Plate, which should be despatched frem Liverpool on the 24th inst., will net be forwarded until the Jet proximo.
