THE MORNING ADYERTISER.- At the Meeting of the Proprietors of the MORNING ADVER 'rum, at the L ndon Tavern, on the 17th instant—the largest of their body ever held during the sixty years cf their Journal's exist ence—they formally pledged themselves to the Public that the Paper shall continue to be conducted on those popular and thoroughly in dependent principles which have dux:ng the last four years, under its present Editorial auspices, raised it to the high position which it occupies as the-second Journfl the Empire. They a'so adopted a resolution empowering Mr. Grant, the Editor, to incur any amount of expenditure which may be deemed necessary in securing the very highest order of Literary Talent and procuring the earliest Politital and Commercial Inteldgence. The MORNING eI OVERTISES, there fore, with the vast resources now placed at the Editor's disposal, has before it the prospect of even a more brilliant careerthan has cha racter:sed it during the last four years of its existence, in which period it has risen In circulation with a rapidity which ha., no parallel in the history of the Daily Press. Its present relative position to that of the other Morning Papers, omitting the Times, will be seen from the Official Stamp Returns for the year 1853.

We are still without intelligence from the Crimea, save through Russian sources. The despatches from Lord RIGLA.N contained in our impression of the 22d instant afforded the last reliable or authentic information to those who have friends and relatives engaged in the fearful struggle, and to others who; although exempted from these personal anxieties, cannot remain indifferent when the honour and safety of the nation, and of its gallant, but over-tasked defenders, are con cerned. These despatches bore date the Bth instant, and, therefore, we have been no le ss than twenty-one days without tidings on which we could safely rely. This is really too bad ! We have already expressed our opinion clearly and unequivocally on these unwarinntable delays, and our protests were echoed by the people. Promises were given that greater energy should be exhibited for the future, and that news from the Crimea should be received within seven or eight, in place of fifteen or sixteen, days. Although this was by no means what we had a right to demand, and although it could scarcely be anticipated that the people would be satisfied in receiving in seven or eight days the important intelligence which might be obtained within three •r four, still wa hailed it as a decided step in the right direction, a great improvement on the previous system. We were told that steamers were to be despatched every second day, from Balakla,va to Varna, and thence to Bucha rest, so that we might reasonably look for tidings every second day, and that we should never be more than nine or ten days without authentic intelli gence ! But how have these promises }peen kept ? It is a wed- • " since we had the despatches to the Bth instant, and n • thin 4. has come to hand giving less st a l e news than that of the Bth. It is true that P r i nce founded on fae h Ns t euixoFF publishes romances to the 19th inst twe ca n h ear , th roug h hi m , .) while we are without anything from Lord RAGLA N to the Bth, eleven days pre viously. This is the more obt annoying, aija v r ior ipriority inasmuch ifan a y s we could to a ce r t a i nty re asonable attention were bestowe d on this all important matter. As e havealreadya_i,,htbe made t:3 r pointed out, postal arrangements to convey mails from 1 klava to Varna or, what would be still better, to Kus- ' tendje, with as muc h cer tainty as between England and Ireland. T hirt y -fi ve to forty hours would be ample even for the longer distance, an d it would not take much greater time to transmit the correspondence to Bucharest, and thence to Kronstadt (Transylvania) or I-lermannstadt. Eighty to ninety hours would thus be amply sufficient, under judicious arrangements, to bring the tidings into connection with the electric wires, by means whereof it might be instantaneously flashed to the capitals of France and England. In Place of twenty-one days, or more, we might thus receive THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 29, 1854. a summary of the intelligence within four days at the outside, and the despatches themselves in extenso within ten or eleven days ; but, in place of that, here we are nearly double the latter period, without anything beyond the canards got up by interested speculators for their own purposes, or the speculations of " our own cor respondents' " clever " guesses," we are bound to admit, but after all merely guesses on which it is impossible to repose implicit reliance. We have heard of a great battle on the 13th, in which the Russians were again very decidedly repulsed with considerable loss. No one can say with any degree of certainty whether such an encounter really took place. We can only dis credit it, although alleged to have taken place sixteen, days since, because no allusion has been made to it in the MENSCHIKOFF despatches ; and because, if it had taken place, some efforts would have been made to transmit the accounts of such a transaction within less than that time. We hear also deplorable accounts of losses of transports, and more important vessels, of severe injuries of ships of the line and war steamers—of the Sauspareil being on fire, the Agamemnon on shore, and the Britannia leaking —but there is nothing official to allay our appre hensions or confirm our worst fears. We must still be tossed on a sea of doubt, involved in the deepest perplexity ; and, what is even still more injurious, prevented from adopting, in due time, the steps rendered indispensable by the course of events. We are now told that the electric wires are to be extended to Varna, so that we may receive news from that important point without a moment's delay. We trust it may be so. But the matter should not now be talked of—it should long since have been accomplished. Even if the Government refused to interfere, such an important under taking would have been easily carried into execu tion by private enterprise ; but cold water was thrown on everything, and the most serious negligence displayed in matters of vital conse quence, because Lord ABERDEEN could not refrain from murmuring " Peace, peace, peace " on all occasions—an occupation about as profitable as wishing for inordinate sums of money on all occa sions, and doing nothing to earn a trifling portion thereof—while Mr. GLADSTONE is desirous of keeping the entire expenditure within the income of the country. It is needless to expatiate on the advantages that would result from obtaining the means of receiving speedy intelligence from the Crimea, say within two days in place of ten in theory, and twenty in practice. It will be felt by all persons of ordinary understanding, and those who wilfully neglect, or contemptuously deny, the necessity, will add consideraMy to an account which already demands a sufficiently serious and prolonged reckoning. Many contradictory opinions are afloat as to the course about to be adopted by Ministers at the approaching meeting of Parliament. Some, paraphrasing the expression of the renowned SAM WELLER, boldly assert that the Chancellor of the Exchequer has " run a match with the constable and vun it," or, in other words, that the Right Honourable Gentleman has to contend against a serious deficiency, and that he must resort to some extraordinary method of "raising the wind," in order to make both ends meet. Others declare with equal vehemence that he has remained faithful to his original "penny-wise -and-pound-foolish" policy, and that he still keeps a tight hold of the national purse-strings, being merely responsible for the minor evils (!), of preventing the despatch of the necessary reinforcements to the seat of war, and thus endangering the lives and materially enhanc ing the too onerous labours of our gallant fellows in the Crimea. These strenuous supporters boldly contend that the pecuniary deficiency has not as yet occurred. But it is admitted on all sides that the immediate attention of the Legislature is in dispensable, in order to sanction and provide for a much heavier outlay than. any contemplated by the Financial Minister: in either of his three Bud gets, or his supplemental dermand for a credit of three millions sterling. How, then, h the money 'to be raised ? That is the important problem puzzling the brains of the quidnuncs of the present day. The great majority affirm, and with good reason, that there must be a loan, and that Mr. GLADSTONR has even, at the eleventh hour, abandoned the disas trous course on which he entered, of insisting that all the extra expenditure must be provided for out of the current income, and that we must leave no burden for posterity to sustain, in consequence of the enormous outlay, occasioned by a far more serious war than we had anticipated, coming on an Exchequer emptied by a reckless and ill advised liquidation of old debts, amounting to more than Eight Millions sterling. An equally determined minority, however, insist that Mr. GLADSTONE will still abide by the narrow and re stricted views promulgated in March, and sus tained in April and May, and through the entire Session, and that the extra outlay will be met by extra taxes, of which the most probable will be the increase of the Income Tax to ten per cent. (!) and the re-imposition of the Soap Duties, and other imposts which had been abolished or modi fied of late years, with the almost unanimous ap probation of the people, and that, if any credit is to be taken, or money raised, it will be by means of deficiency bills or a temporary loans—such as de lighted the GI/PADSTONIAN soul, and which, prac tically, have only the effect of increasing the tight ness of the :money market, and, as a natural con sequence, the difficulties of the nation, by the diversion into another channel of the funds usually applicable to affording the necessary pecuniary accommodation to the trade and commerce of the country ! Now, although, in common justice to Mr. GLAD STONE, we must believe the latter assertions to be wholly unfounded, and to suppose it utterly im possible that any man pretending to the character of a statesman could exhibit such perverse and wrong-headed obstinacy on a matter of such - vital importance to the welfare and prosperity of the community at large, it is our imperative duty to give timely warning of the danger, so that the voice of public opinion may be expressed through out the length and breadth of the land, and that the Representatives of the People may bo made thoroughly acquainted with the views and feelings of their respective constituencies—not only of the voters, but the non-voters—of every one, in fact, who contributes to the Exchequer in any degree, Eowever remote, and who should, therefore, ac cording to the constitutional theory, have a voice in all matters relating to the expenditure. oßaossthityH ofo u s e s e n s o , o th g e o n u , t w a il m l p h l a e ve r e t i n o f l u ' n r s c i e s m t e o n n ts the the a rmy i n the Crimea, together not merely with all the necessaries required, but with all the com forts calculated to alleviate their sufferings. Even with every possible appliance they have so many arduous duties to perform that the humblest labourer at home would scarcely envy their posi tion. It is for the Lords and Commons to declare, in concurrence with the people of the United Kingdom, that privations shall not be added to these other trials, and that their grateful country will, so far as practicable, save them from " preventible evils." There are more than enough which cannot be averted ; it is, there fere, imperative on those who live at home at ease to do all in their power to preserve those gallant fellows from any annoyance which foresight and liberality may get rid of. But the chief responsibility will rest on the popular branch of the Legislature—on those who are to be, not merely the guardians, but the re plenishers, of the public purse. At present their duty differs in many respects from that which usually devolves upon them. Generally, the chief care is required as to the outgoings, to see that no lavish or profuse expenditure is sanc tioned. Now, however, it is otherwise. The welfare, honour, and safety of the country are involved in the existing struggle. Success—full, complete, and triumphant success—is now the sole object. That can only be achieved by the sacrifice' of men cr money, or both ; and all will agree that the latter is as mere dross in compari son to the lives of our brave compatriots. Let money, then, be raised to the utmost extent re quired, but in such a manner as to be least onerous to the tax-paying community. The present generation has done quite enough. We must now look to " Posterity," more especially as it is for its protection that we are bound to carry on the war to the last extremity—to insure not merely present ease fir ourselves, but ample ma terial guarantees for the permanent and lasting tranquillity of Europe, and the protection of that very posterity from evils such as we, for their sake more than our own, are now compelled to encounter.

UNSIAMPED PUBLICATIONM. —Yesterday afternoon, a deputation waited on the Chancellor of the Exchequer, to complain of the conduct of the Board of Inland Re venue in issuing notices to the trade, threatening them with summary proceedings for publishing, printing, or vending unstamped papers containing news of the war.

Three small steamers have been stranded. The Sanspareil was driven on shore ; machinery on fire. The Britannia has five feet of water in her hold. The Agamemnon was stranded, but got afloat again. The Sampson's machinery is damaged. The Retribution was saved by t4rowing her guns overboard. The Terrible has also escaped. The Henri Quatre and Pluton are both lost.

Prince Menschikoff reconnoitred the position of the Allies on the 18th. General Liprand's corps has retired to Bakshi- Serai. BERLIN, TUESDAY. The Russian answer to the Prussian note expressing the willingness of the Emperor to treat on the following terms : " First, a common guarantee by the Five Powers of the rights of the Christian subjects of the Porte, without distinction as to confession. " Second, a common protectorate of the Prin cipalities to be exercised by the Five Powers on the terms of the treaties now existing between Russia and the Porte. " Third, a revision of the treaty of 1841. " Fourth, the free navigation of the Danube." TURKEY. CONST'A.NTINOPLE, Nov. 15.—Almost all the wounded from the late battle of Inkerman have now arrived. Their number is very great. They have all been taken in at Scutari. It has, how ever, been done with difficulty. The two hospitals now contain upwards of 3,000 men. The eastern side of the barrack hospital, which had partially fallen into decay, has been repaired, and is now full of wounded. No complaints have reached us of neglect, or over-crowdingin the transport of the wounded from the Crimea. The scene at Scutari is truly afflicting. So many brave fellows laid low on a bed of suffering. The Protestant sisters and female nurses that have come out with Miss Nightingale from England prove valuable attendants. They are unremittingin their attentions, and display a zeal and activity above all praise. It is unfortunately to be foreseen that the army of the Crimea will have to make still more sacrifices before a definite result is obtained, and another hospital will in all - probability have to be established. There is some talk of the Russian embassy being appropriated to such a use. The Russian consulate at Pers. has bison turned into the French intendance militaire. , Good buildings are scarce, and the wants of wounded men pressing. It is therefore to bo hoped that in an emergency over-scrupulousness will not deprive them of a comfortable hospital. The wounded Russians who were at Scutari have been removed to the barracks at Kuleii, on the Bosphorus. Prince Napoleon, who arrived here last week in bad health from the Crimea, has been honoured by a visit from the Sultan. This is an unprecedented occurrence, a Sultan never having been known before to put his foot within. s.n infidel dwelling. He visited Prince Napoleon and the Duke of Cam bridge last summer ; but then they were his guests, staying in his own palaces. Reinforcements for the Crime la are much wanted. Some French troops havealreaely a rr i ve d, an d im mediately gone on to reinforc e the army of the Crimea. RUSSIA. Th e St. Petersburg Journal, of the 19th Nov., contains an order of the Gram!. Duke Constantine, informing the Baltic fleet that the Emperor had been pleased to thank his dear children, the sailors which had displayed both b y l an d an d sea of the Black Sea fleet , for the incomparable valour The Grand Duke adds, that h e h opes t h e B a lti c during fleet, when the proper moment arrives, will show t t i h ie e y siege of Sebastopol.. itself equally deserving of such a mark of the Im perial favour. Th e sam e number of the St. Petersburg Journal contains a translation in extewso of Mr. Bright's letter to Mr. Watkin, which, it is evident, has given great satisfaction at St. Peters burg. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Nov. 26.—A report has been circulated this evening that Austria has expressed her satis faction at the last Prussian reply and communica tions from Russia. It is possible that she may have done so ; but this no way proves that she has re ceded one inch from her en&agements w ith th e Western Powers. The Russian party are me an ti me completely staggered by the announcement that the French Government has determined to send two divisions of infantry to assist Omer Puha. It will not be forgotten that a French division of cavalry is already at Adrianople. AUSTRLI. VEENNA, Nov. 23. The following telegraphic despatch has been re. ceived. here : CZERNOWITZ, NOV. 25.—1 t. was ann ounced yesterday at all the places on the Russian frontiers that it was for bidden to export corn of any land. There are considerable quantities stored up here. The owners are not selling to day. Indian corn and wheat have much risen in price." The Soldaten Freund says that General Dannen berg is to be removed from kis command in the Crimea, in consequence of the manner in which he conducted the operations of the troops under his command on the sth. General. Osten-Sacken, it is said, will take his place. A correspondent of the Agranner Zeitung, writing frora the Montenegrin frontier on the 15th, says that the Montenegrins intended to take the Turkish islands of Branjina and Lessando, and that they would certainly have succeeded in their design had not the plan been timely discovered by the Turks. This was to take place during the absence of Prince Danilo, in order that his highness might not bo compromised. P r i n ce Danilo's ultimate destina tion is reported to bo St. Petersburg. FRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING. The Minister of War has received despatches from Pera, of the 18th, transmitting accou n t s f rom the General-in-Chief of the army of th e East, of the 13th. They say :—" The enemy, beaten at Inker man, and whose losses were more considerable than. General Canrobert had at first announced, had not' since disturbed the siege operations, which con tinued as before. The weather had become bois terous, but the health of the troops was good, and their spirit admirable. Reinforcements were be ginning to arrive; a number of men had already landed both from Africa and France. 1,800 men of the advanced guard of General Mayran landed on the 13th." A letter from Pera, of the 14th, in the Moniteur, says :-- " At the date of the 11th the siege of Sebastopol con tinued without any particular incident, and the Russian army had not attempted to resume the offensive. Exact information which had reached head-quarters states that tho losses of the army on the sth were 15,000 men killed and wounded. The Allied troops had buried 5,030 Russians who were found dead on the field of battle. English, French, and Turkish reinforcements had arrived on the Bth to the number of several thousand men, and others were following without interruption." " This despatch," adds the Moniteur, " confirms the numbers given by Lord Raglan in his report to the English Government as regards the losses of the enemy. Information which has reached us from other quarters also justifies the assertion of the illustrious Commander-in-Chief of the allied army, when he declares that the Russian forces engaged in the affair of the sth amounted to at least 70,0)0 men." A letter from Therapia, of the ilith, says : " Nothing striking has taken place before Sebas topol since the sth. With the exception of the tire of the batteries, the operations had been suspended." We have received intelligence to-day from Con stantinople to the 20th, via Trieste. The tele graphic despatch from the latter place, which is dated this day, the 28th, states that a great por tion of the allied fleets were expected in the Bos phorus. PriLce Napoleon was still at Constanti nople. From the 10th to the 20th, 15,000 soldiers of the three Allied Powers started for the Crimea. The English and French armies continue establish ing an entrenched camp, in which they are plac ing guns, whilst maintaining the greatest number of batteries. The belief still exists that 30,000 men of Omer Pacha's army will be sent to the Crimea. There appears to be no doubt that the tempest of the 14th, in addition to the loss of the Henri IV., damaged the Retribution and the Na-, poleon. Mustapha Pacha and Kurchid Pacha have been summoned to Constantinople to answer for their conduct in Asia. News from Damascus has been received to November 9. The good relations of the Turkish authorities with Persia continue. The same telegraphic despatch states that the mail from Greece brings letters from Athens to the 24th. It announces that a modifi cation in the Ministry has taken place, in the sense of General Kalergi's opinions. Bands of brigands still infest Greece. One band attacked a village near Athens, and applied the torture to some monks there. Another attempt was foiled only by a general arming of the population. The Henri IT., mentioned above, had been only a few years afloat, and was built at Cherbourg, where she was placed on the stocks in 1829. The Pluton, which was also lost at the same time, was a steam-corvette of 220-horse power. The Henri IV. was lost en the coast of Eupatoria. The following telegraphic despatches have been received : " Marseilles, Nov. 27.—The Charlemagne and the steam frigates Sane and Infernal have arrived from the Crimea at Toulon. Three large steamers—the Alps, Thames, and Ripon —have also reached Toulon from England. Three ships of the line and eight frigates or steamers are at the same port, awaiting more favourable weather to embark troops. Thrce merchant steamers sailed two days ago. The Emeu sails to-morrow. All these vessels will carry troops. General de Montebello embarked yesterday." " St. Petersburg, Nov. 26. " A. despatch from Prince Menschikoff, dated the 18th, in the evening, states that the tempest which swept over the Black Sea on the 14th inflicted greater injuries on the allied fleets than was at first supposed. The number of transports thrown on the coast was about 25. Some yes sole of war had also suffered considerably. The same de spatch, which is given under all reserve, announces that the works of the siege were less active, and that the can nonade had gradually slackened, till it almost ceased on the 18th."

A letter from Athens, 17th, in the Corriere Italiano of Vienna, says : " Turkoy bad demanded an indemnity from Greece for the insurrection of Thessaly and Epirus. France and England interceded with the Porto, and the Ottoman Government renounced its claims, and confined itself to demanding that the Ottoman subjects of the Provinces who had suffered losses should be indemnified for them. The Greek Government, while admitting that this de mand is founded on right and justice, pretends that the payment of such an indemnity would lead to insur mountable difficulties between the two countries, and that discord would inevitably be the result. M. Mavro conlato thinks that the best means of consolidating the relations between the two governments would be to conclude a treaty of commerce and navigation—in other words, the Greek Government wishes a recompence in stead of a punishment. The corps of occupation is now composed of 4,000 men, French and English. The Greek Government has given orders to all the authorities in the ports where French vessels having troops on board may touch to furnish them, on a written demand, with every thing of which they may stand in need without imme diate payment. The accounts are to be sent to the French Embassy at Athens by which they will be imme i diately settled." THE CZAR'S ANSWER TO THE PRUSSIAN NOTE. A letter from Frankfort, 23d, in the Wurtenabe•g Moniteur, states that the answer of the Cabinet of Russia to the note of that of Berlin, urging the Em peror of Russia to accept the four points, has been received at Perlin, and has been made known to the diplomatic circles. The Russian Cabinet in its an swer, which is drawn up in the most conciliatory terms, professes a sincere and constant desire for peace, and states that it is willing to accept the four preliminary points, and to enter into direct negotiations with Austria on this basis, but Russia in discussing these points attaches to each certain reservations. For instance, as regards the protection of the Principalities, it states that Russia will only consent to renounce the exclusive protectorate on the condition of its being exer cised by the five powers conjointly, after an understanding shall have been cone to between them on that subject. The same observation is made on the fourth point, regarding the protectorate of the Greek Chris tians in Turkey. With respect to the point concerning the commerce of the Danube, the Russian Cabinet de clares that it never has had the intention to obstruct it in any manner. The writer of the letter adds, that the Austrian Cabinet has refused to enter into direct nego tiations with that of Russia on the four points. These points having been laid down by the representatives of the Powers in the conference of Vienna, it is with them, says the Austrian Cabinet, that the negotiations must be opened." The Belgian Chamber of Representatives in its sitting of Saturday, after a discussion which had occupied seve ral days, adopted the ensemble of the address in reply to the speech from tke throne, by a majority of 80 to 11. A. correspondent of the Indepenclance Beige says he is informed by a high diplomatic personage that the Em peror of Austria has written an autograph letter to Napoleon 111., urging him to make peace, and repre senting that war, with all its sacrifices, Las hitherto led to no result. According to accounts received from Singapore, of Oct. 19, the commission of inquiry into the conduct of Sir James Brooke contium e to sit sl Lily for the examina tion of witnesses. Sir James Brooke has refused to at tend before the commissioners, and his absence will doubtless abridge their labours. A letter from Vienna, 23d, says that Baron d'Eskeles was to leave on the following day for Paris, in order to sign definitively the treaty concluded between the Government and a French company, relative to the concession of a part of the Austrian railways. A letter from Vienna of the 24th, in VOSB'3 Gazette of Berlin, says : "It le; new certain that orders were given at the beginning Of November, first, that at the end of January the whole army shall be placed on a war foot ing ; and next, that at the same period the whole army shall be ready to march to occupy the positions which are to be made known at the end of December." A letter from Berlin, 25th, states that the King has decided that ho will open the Chambers in person, imme diately before the ceremony of the marriage of Prince Frederic Charles, in order that the members of the Chambers may be present at that ceremony in the royal chapel. THE POST-OFFICE. — Tire chief clerk of Hull has been made postmaster of Darlington, and the chief clerk of Salisbury has been made postmaster of that city. These are tho first appointments of provincial clerks to post masters since the new arrangements. WANT OF POWDER AT SEBISTOPOL.—An occasional correspondent at Constantinople encloses a communica tion from an English gentleman at Balaklava ' which may possibly explain the slackness which the Russian despatches allege has lately characterised our firing against Sebastopol. The writer at Balaklava, states that " the army was in want of ammunition, that in consequence of this want powder was very sparingly allowed to the men, and farther that our artillery coeld only fire ten rounds during the day and none during the night, all for want of powder." A deficiency of powder would not be without precedent in this siege. The Con stantinople correspondent before mentioned says : " One of our largest transport-steamers, the Golden Fleece, with from 500 to 800 barrels of gunpowder on board, repeatedly applied to know what was to be done with it both at Balaklava and at Constantinople. In the end this vessel was sent to Malta, and actually took the 500 to 800 barrels on board to that island, when our army was almost at a stand still for want of it." Our correspondent naturally infers that some men of busi ness and practical knowledge are required on the staff of the army—men who do not scorn to knew how to keep accounts. ISPRICE or GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mille -'iscount (according to the last tariff), which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.141 ; and, the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.071, it follows that gold is about 0.28 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Ham burg, the price of gold is 4221 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for stand ard gold, gives an exchange of 13.3 ; and, the exchange at Hamburg on London at short being 13.3.1, it follows that gold is 0.13 per cent, dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of exchange at New York on Lon don for bills at 60 days' sight is 1091 per cent., and, the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is no minally 0.17 per cent. in favour of England ; and, after making allowance for charges of transport and difference of interest, the present rate leaves a trifling profit on the importation of gold from the United States.

The following is an extract of a letter from an officer of the steam-frigate Sane, describing the hurricane of the 14th, in the Black Sea : "We were preparing to quit the squadron of Admiral Bruat, which was lying at anchor in the bay of Kainseisch, but the weather grew so boisterous andthe barometer fell so much that we deemed it prudent to postpone our de parture. At last, at half-past 11 o'clock a.m., taking advantage of a change, we weighed anchor. Every thing went on well at first : the frigate was tossed about, but she made good her advance, when, at the distance of about two leagues from Cape Chersonese, we were as sailed by a gale of wind such as I have never experienced since I passed Cape Horn. You will be enabled to form an idea of the rolling of our ship when I inform you that one of our 30-pounders at the forecastle, although strongly lashed to the deck, broke from its fastenings and was pitched oberboard as if it was a broomstick. We had serious apprehensions for the howitzer of 120 and the gun of 60, but fortunately they held fast. I bring you good news from the great siege. The courage of the [troops and of the fleet has increased with their difficulties. The Russians fight with despera tion ; but in our army, as well as in that of the Allies, there is not a man who is not aware of the magnitude of the mission he has to accomplish, and there exist between them a generous rivalry of zeal and senti ments of honour which cannot but terminate in success." ANNIVERSARY OF THE POLISH INSU.R , BECTION. This day being the 24th anniversary of the Polish insurrection of 1830, the Polish exiles, resident in Lon don, attended the funeral service at the Roman Catholic Chapel, Sutton-street, Soho-square, which was performed by the Rev. Emericus Pc lolski, who also preached a sermon suitable to the occasion, and in which he de plored the recent loss sustained by Poland and her exiled sons in the death of their meet generous friend and pro tector Lord Dudley Stuart. After this ceremony a public meeting, composed of Poles, and convened by their committee, acting under the orders of his Elialiness Prince Czartoryski, was held at Susses-chambers, Duke-street, St. James's. Colonel \Viercinski occupied the chair, and the following resolu tions were agreed to : The first resolution was moved by Mr. N. F. ZABA, seconded by Major GIETGERD— " That the Poles, faithful to the duty which 24 years ago called them to arms in defeno3 of their inalienable rights to freedom and national independence, do most solemnly pro test against the usurpation of their country by foreign oppressors, and whilst expressing their anxious interest in the issue of the struggle in which the Western Powers are now engaged with the Czar, do await with enduring patience the moment they shall be called upon to take a part in tie war, with a view of re storing Poland to the rank of an independent state, the only effectual and permanent means of arresting the ag gressive policy of Russia ; of guarding the civilization of the West against the incursions of Eastern barbarism; and of establishing a true and lasting peace of Europe." The second resolution was moved by Mr. GLEINICH, seconded by Major JANCENVICZ— "That the Poles, deeply anxious to testify their grati tude to the people of England and France, amongst whom they have found not merely an asylum, but a home, are painfully disapp o i n t e d th a t no Polish Legion, to act in conjunction with the Allied Powers, having yet been formed ; for they are persuaded that had such measure been adopted thousands of their fellow-countrymen, now ignominiously forced to serve in the Russian army, and to combat against the forces of the Allied Powers, would, as soon as the Polish national standard had been unfurled, have passed over to the ranks of England and France, spared their blood, now so heroically and prodigiously shed, and in all probability have already decided the fate of Sebastopol and the issue of the present war." The third resolution was moved by Lieutenant C. SZULCZEWSKI, seconded by Colonel SZTEMA— " That the Poles do hereby express their most poignant grief at the irreparable loss they have sustained is the death of the much-lamented Lord Dudley Stuart, Presi dent of the Literary Association of the Friends of Poland, the indomitable champion of the rights of their country— their most generous friend and benefactor—who not only passed the greater part of his lifelin promoting the egos chil dren, Poland, and i n a ll ev i at i ng t h e su ff er i ngs o f h e r exiled but who expired in foreign lands engaged to the last in fulfilling those high and momentous dutieswhichhe had so nobly i mpose d upon hi mse lf ; and that the Poles g the into naourninp;, and that an axial-ass o fe e on Ao d s o s le c n ia ce tio to n t b le o family of their.departed friend and to prepa o i r •ed 4 as a feeble testimony of th gratitude to his sacr e d taenay. After a tribute of respect and gratitude paid to their chief Prince Adam Czartoryski, and to the Literary Assoeiation'of the Friends of Poland, the meeting sepa. rated. —The Australian letters by th e overland mail e filled with unani mous complaints of the reckless and i continuous shipment o f goods from England. The us yesterday rn A Lit' a gold returns were steady and large. w ith the correspondi ng period of last year, compared brought into M e lb ourne by escort from the t A h s e an I o July u to the 16th of S eptember were 414,662 Ist of a gainst 464,420 in 1853 ; b ut, as the quantities oburonucheisht by hand were much larger than formerly, the actual total, it is believed, would show a considerable augmentation. Fresh discoveries continied to be made, and increased atter tion was b e i ng g i ven to quartz crush i„g. At Sydney a bill hal been brought before the Le gislature to incorporate an undertaking called the Fitz roy Iron and Coal Company, for the purpose of working mines near Berrima, about 65 miles from Sydney, which have for some time been considered valuable. The iron ore and coal are said to be so situated as to require little labour. The Sydney Herald likewise gives favourable accounts of the progress of the coal mines of the Austra lian Agricultural Company, the difficulties formerly ex perienced from constant strikes on the part of the men having been obviated by the adoption of piece work, which enables the most industrious to earn extraordi nary wages, THE REINFORCEMENTS. 9TH, 13TH, 14TH, 22n, 25TH, 31sT, 48TH, 51TH, 66TEt 72n, 82n, 91ST, AND 92D REGIMENTS.—The destination of the 72d lliglanders is Malta, where they will relieve the 9th Regiment, ordered to the Crimea. The Ist battalion of the 91st Regiment, at Cork, has also been ordered to Malta, to relieve the 14th, placed under Lord Raglan's command. The reserve battalion of the 91st is now on its passage home from the Cape, and, on its arrival in this country the greater part of its effective men will be sent out to strengthen the let battalion, which will in all pro , 1,, ,1,i11y he sent on to ti: ..-: crirar.:l, the remaining Elea being formed into a depot. With the exception of the 12th Regiment, all the reserved battalions formed some 12 years ago will then be abolished, and the only regiments having second battalions will be, as of old•—the three regi- ments of Foot Guards, the let (Royal) Regiment, the 60th Rifles, and the Rifle Brigade. The regiments now in garrison in the Mediterranean and available for the Crimea are the 13th, at Gibraltar ; 31st, at Corfu; 48th, at Corfu; 92d, at Gibraltar. To these in a few days will be added the 54th and 66th to Gibraltar, the 72d and 91st to Malta, the 82d and another regiment to Corfu—probably the 56th, now daily expected at Dublin, from Bermuda. The regiments now remaining at hoaie will then be the 51st Light Infantry, now at Manchester ; the 80th, at Fort George ; and the 94th, at Chatham ; all of whom have but just returned from a long tour of Indian service, and are, therefore, numerically weak ; bat the draughts from the militia and the activity of the recruiting staff will bring them up to the required strength before many weeks. The 22d, 25th, 96th, and 98th Regiments have been re moved from the Indian establishment, and will arrive home early in 1855. The following militia regiments are to be embodied for immediate service forthwith :—The 4th Lancashire (Royal Lancashire, Duke of Lancaster's Own Light Infantry), the Dorsetshire, the Nottinghamshire, the Salopian, the Wor cestershire, the Kent Artillery Corps, the Hants Artillery Corps, the Suffolk Artillery Corps, the Ist Cheshire (Royal Cheshire), and the Oxfordshire Militia. Volunteering has been going on at Chatham for the 18th Regiment, in consequence of another War Office circular, received from the Horse Guards by the commandant of the garrison. The following are the numbers volunteered from each of the depots :—One private from the 10th Foot ; 3 privates, 22d ; 1 corporal, 25th ; 1 drummer, 45th ; 1 lance serjeant, 53d ; 1 private, 70th ; 1 private, 74th ; 1 corporal, 75th ; 1 private, 76th ; 2 privates, 81st ; 3 pii- Tates, 84th ; 1 corporal and 1 private, 87th; 1 corporal and 1 private, 96th ; and 1 corporal, 1 drummer, and. 4 privates, 99th—making a total of 1 serjeant, 4 corporalo, 2 drummers, and 18 rank and file. These volunteers joined the 18th Regiment on Tuesday. Three sergeants, 4 cor porals, 7 drummers, and 136 rank and file of the 94th Re' gimeut, volunteers, also joined the 18th. Thus has the 94th lost both their flank companies by this movement, and whi i ch circumstance has much dispirited the cola' mantling officer, Colonel Milner, who would have liked to lead his own men. On Monday evening a large batch of recruits went into Chatham Barracks from Manchester, the whole of them being for the 18th Regiment ; there were also two otb,er batches wont in from tho northern districts, for the Fro' visional Battalion, to the number of 100 men. In consequence of a War-office circular, received by the 18th Foot, the volunteering for this regiment is clossid, and everything connected with this corps is to be madt up by the Ist of next month. A large number of voluntt:ers aro to arrive from Manchester, from the 51st King's Light Infantry. Though an unusually large number of recruits for 2 10 different arms of her Majesty's army have been incessai tly arriving in the metropolis within the past six weeks, from parts of the country, yet the drain. does not seem to ha Yo at all exhausted our resources, for each now day fre sh batches are arriving. Last evening, a large number arriv ed from Liverpool, Manchester, and Birmingham, by trai ; and yesterday morning the steamer London, bound • for Hall, had on board a batch of flue, athletic young too en, who were en route to York to join the head-quarters of th eir regiment, the 7th Hussars, now stationed in that fine i )1a city. We also learn that a large number, amounting t° over 50, arrived here at noon yesterday from the Soot h' Eastern counties, and were at once transmitted. to W o , 01- ' with and Chatham. Yesterday 54 men from the provisional battalion. at Chatham volunteered for the ambulance corps to be semi t° the seat of war in the East, and to attend the sick . .na wounded. They are to be under the entire clireotio• aof the medical inspector-general. These men are exporiei n having seen foreign service, and are well adapted fol? the duties required, and, having characters of steadiness. and sobriety, they can be trusted to perform all the requi n item attending the sick. Captain Traver's company of Royal Artillery, under ,the command of Second• Captain Pigou, accompanied by Lit al* tenants Orr sad Miller, loft Plymouth citadel on St tu" day afternoon by the South Devon Railway for We 0 1 ' wich. Captain Inglofield's company, also stationed 0 6 Plymouth, is under orders to proceed to Woolwich, leavi ug only one company of Artillery in this district. The i tachments of Artillery at Bovisand, Maker Heights, I ind Drake's Island, have been relieved by non-commisaio ned officers and privates of the 34th Regiment, at preser ►t♦ tioned in this garrison. Major Kelly, Lieutenants C Inn*" bell and Boyce, and Ensigns Alt and Ramsay, with: 140 men of the 34th, are under orders to proceed with service companies to Corfu, from which place the regiu 0 16 has lately left for the Crimea. Recruiting sergeants are on duty in this district A Dui the 13th, 20th, 34th, 40th, and 46th Regiments, and fl -' 0133 the Plymouth division of Royal Marines. During the 11 sat week volunteers have joined the 34th from the sth Fe si liens, 22d Regiment, 24th, 27th, 53d, 76th, 96th, and 8 341 Regiments. INCREASE OF THE ARMY. The contemplated augmentation of the army, whi,ei ii expected to take place immediately after the assemblhli ; ° f Parliament, will, it is stated, embrace the whole of • the infantry regiments of the line, it being considered doll bt• fel policy, and an expensive mode of increasing the strenus of the army, to raise new regiments. The manner in wbci jel l the Heroes* is to be effected is stated to be as follci vex vi z. The regiments of infantry serving in the East, Gibs 11 ' tar, Malta, and the lonian Islands, will have additicA ial battalions of 800 rank and filo respectively, to be terns ea 2d or 3d battalions, as in the case of the Ist Royal a ad Rifle Brigade; those regiments in the Colonies ai nd East Indies to have each a reserve battalion of 5 0 0 bayonets, and the regiments on home service to be placs ai regards their numerical strength, on the war establit 4 114 ment. The regiments to have additional battalions of S 00 men are the Ist Royals, 3d Buffs, 4th Regiment of Fo. )t► 7th Fusiliers, 9th Foot, 13th ditto, 14th ditto, 17th dit to 18th Royal Irish, 19th Foot, 20th ditto, 21st ditto, 2 3 Fusiliers, 2iiith Foot, 30th ditto, 31st ditto, 33d ditto, 34 01 ditto, 38th ditto, 41st ditto, 42d Highlanders, 44th Fo4 ,t ► 45th ditto, 47th ditto, 43th ditto, 49th ditto, 50th dit to► 55th ditto, 62d ditto, G3d ditto, 68th Light Infantry, 7i I- 4 Highland Light Infantry, 72d Highlanders, 77th Fa et, 79th ditto, BSth Connaught Rangers, 89th Feet, 90th dal to, 92d ditto; 93d Highlanders, 95th Foet, 97th ditto, and t he Rifle Brigade. The remaining regiments will be augmented as stat ad above ; an additional battalion of Royal Artillery, al la eight companies of Royal Marines are also to be raised. General Bentinck and Colonel Dalrymple arrived I 3 Dover yesterday morning, from the Crimea, and continuo ,d their journey to London by the 8 a.m. train.
