Never within the memory of the present gene ration has there been witnessed such anxiety for authentic intelligence as was yesterday perceptible amongst all classes and ranks in society. Not even when we were engaged in a life-and-death struggle with a nobler foe than my to whom we can be opposed, so long as the auspicious alliance —the entente cordiale—between France and Eng land is maintained—was there greater excitement manifested for trustworthy accounts from the seat of war. It was known that Lord BURGURRSH had arrived—that the despatches from Lord RA.CI-- LAN and Admiral DIINDAS had been delivered t the Office of the War Department yesterday morning—that full particulars of the glorious but sanguinary victory of the Alma was actually in London, details respecting which there could be no doubt, for they were elf led by the honoured name of " RAGLAN"—the General who has added new laurels to those still verdant, that encircled his brow. The meagre and unsatisfactory accounts transmitted by Lord STATFORD DR REDCLIFFR had merely served to stimulate public curiosity. They told us that a splendid triumph had been achieved by the combined arms of France and England, that the troops of both nations, actuated by a noble spirit of emulation, had proved them selves worthy descendants of their most illustri ous progenitors, and given new proofs of their "in vincibility," by all the world beside. But they also showed that the triumph was dearly pur chased—that a fearful carnage had taken place, and that the blood of the bravest and best of either country had been the enormous price paid for the daring and brilliant exploit ! But there our information ended. The details were looked forwarded to with intense excite ment. We naturally desired to know how the " day had been .won," who sustained the " brunt of the battle," who had peculiarly distinguished themselves—for there was an universal reliance, which was more than justified, that there would be no failure. All, then, were looking for the publication of the despatches containing these heart-thrilling accounts. But many were actuated by still higher motives. They awaited the tidings of the fate of those in witom every thought was concentrated. Hus bands, parents, children, brothers, lovers, relatives, f r i en ds were engaged. The joy and exultation might be largely diluted--nay, might be changed into the deepest mourning, and for that, with sick ening anxiety and sinking hearts they were abiding the fearful verdict that would tell them whether the verdict was for them to be one of joy or sorrow —of pure and unalloyed gratification or bitter and comfortless grief. The publication of the Gazette _Extraordina r y would either appease their anxiety or confirm their most gloomy forebodings, and although the greatest expedition was displayed, still the "momentsfiew heavily on their leaden wings." We strove to the best of our ability to remove these heart-reading cases within an incredibly short space of time from the publication of the earliest copy of the Gazett e . It was copied in extenso into our columns, and a new edition of The Sun was published a t half -past one o'clock yesterday, which, withi n less th an hours was followed by another edition, containing three .lespatches from Admiral Dundas, of the 21st, 23d, and 24th September respectively, w e may , therefore, with some pride, de c l are t h at in ,c OUT vocation" we have not been f oun d wanting but have honestly and fairly dischar ge d our dut,J to friends, subscribers, and the comm un i ty - at large. We shall not, at such a moment, while the wounds are yet bleeding, intrude on the sacred sorrows of those who have lost friends or relatives in the fearful encounter. We shall merely say to the afflicted—Be of good comfort ; your country deeply sympathises with your sufferings ; will comfort those who need it ; and, so far as prac ticable, supply the want of husband, parent, and son, to the widow, the fatherless, or the childless. All mourn for the departed, who have nobly erished in the discharge of their arduous and important duty, and whose names will— during the existence of the British nation-- be inseparably associated with the honourable Victory of the Alma, the first decisive humiliation of the pride and diminution of the power of the AtrroenAT, the blow that demonstrated the total incompetency of Russian serfs to encounter, even I with all the advantages of position, French or English soldiers. We leave them where glory will for ever " illumine their memories," and they.will slumber the tranquil and unbroken sleep of the brave. Let us now turn to the deeds of these gal lant men, and of their surviving friends and co adjutors, the proud chivalry of beautiful France. Our friends will recollect that the disembarkation was in a great degree effected on the 14th Sept., and that the landing of the heavy baggage and horses was impeded on the 15th and 16th. On the two following days the troops were occu pied in strengthening their position, and prepar ing for the first onslaught. All was completed by the evening of the 18th, and we learn from Lord RAGLAN, that the English and French Ar mies moved out of their first encampment in the Crimea on the 19th, and bivouacked for the night on the left bank of the Bulganac, the former hav ing previously supported the advance of a part of the Earl of CARDIGAN'S brigade of Light Cavalry, which had the effect of inducing the enemy to move up a large body of Dragoons and Cosaques, with artillery. . This was the "fleshing of our maiden swords" in the Crimea, and well and nobly did the pliant Light Dragoons do their devoirs in presence of their formidable opponents. We are told that, " On this, the first occasion of the English encounter ing the Russian force, it was impossible fur any troops to exhibit more steadiness than did this portion of her MAJESTY'S cavalry. It fell back upon its supports with the most perfect regularity under the fire of the Artillery, which was quickly silenced by that of the batteries I caused to be brought into action ; and that our loss amounted to only four men wounded." This was a good inauguration of the campaign. It was the "sight of blood" that aroused the sleeping lion, and excited them to the deeds of "derring do" never surpassed by Englishmen on any pre vious occasion. The trial, although comparatively trivial to what had to be sustained on the follow ing day was yet increased by the intense heat and the feverish thirst by which it was accompanied, and is thus briefly, although graphically, described : " The day's march had been most wearisome and under a burning•sun, the absence of water, until we reached the insignificant but welcome stream of the Bulganac, made it to be severely felt." Both Armies moved towards the Alma the fol lowing morning, and it was arranged that Marshal ST. ARNAUD should assail the enemy's left by crossing the river at its junction with the sea, and immediately above it, and that the remainder of the French divisions should move up the heights in their front, whilst the English Army should attack the right and centre of the enemy's position. This "right and centre" was, indeed, a difficult position, and it clearly proved the high sense of British valour entertained by our Allies, that they accorded to our troops a place for which they themselves would have sacrificed much. The situation of the enemy is very clearly and beautifully described. The point to be attacked was about two and a half English miles from the bold and almost precipitous range of heights, of from 350 to 400 feet, that from the sea closely border the left bank of the river, and here ceases and formed their left, and turning thence round a great amphitheatre or wide valley, termi nates at a salient pinnacle where their right rested, and whence the descent to the plain was more gradual. The front was two miles in extent. Across the mouth of this great opening is a lower ridge at different heights, varying from 60 to 150 feet, parallel to the river, and at distances from it of from 600 to 800 yards. The river itself is generally fordable for troops, but its banks are extremely rugged, and in most parts steep ; the willows along it had been cut down, in order to prevent them from affording cover to the attacking party, and in fact everything had been done to deprive an assailant of any species of shelter. In front of the position on the right bank, at about 200 yards from the Alma, is the village of Bouliouk, and near it a timber bridge, which had been partly destroyed by the enemy. The high pinnacle and ridge before alluded to was the key of the position, and consequently there the greatest preparations had been made for defence. • Half way down the height and accross its front was a trench of the extent of some hundred yards, to afford cover against an advance up the even steep slope of the hill. On the right, and a little retired, was a powerful covered battery, armed with lwavy guns, which flanked the whole of the right of the position. Artillery, at the same time, was posted at the points that best commanded the passage of the river and its approaches generally. On the slopes of these hills (forming a sort of table land) were placed dense masses of the enemy's infantry, whilst on the heights above was his great reserve, the whole amounting, it is supposed, to between 45,000 and 50,000. Such was the powerful line of defence which the allied troops were required to assail. And it speaks trumpet-tongued in their favour to say that they succeeded, in less than three hours, in driv ing the enemy from every part of the ground which they had held in the morning, and in esta blishing themselves upon it. We have quoted thus largely from the despatch of Lord RAGLAN, for it would be im possible to give a more distinct and lucid description of the scene of strife. Scarcely had the troops deployed into line before " the village of Bourliouk, immediately opposite the centre, was fired by the enemy at all points, creating a continuous blaze for 300 yards, ob scuring their position and rendering a passage through it impracticable." They neverthe less persevered, and at length succeeded in carrying a redoubt that had caused serious damage during the advance. After this, by continued exertions, they gained the heights, dislodged the adversary with immense slaughter, and finally encamped on the spot which the completely routed foe had previously occupied. Here we must pause. The want of cavalry— a large proportion of which - remained with the reserve, ardently desirous of participating in the labours of their comrades—prevented them from annihilating the RusF;ians, and "leaving MENSCHI- Konr without an army." The subsequent pro ceedings will soon be known, and doubtless they will be worthy of so brilliant a beginning ! Arch-deacons seem made to pester Arch-bishops. The latter naturally love the otium cum dignitate, but the dignity of the former seems to be just enough to generate that mechanical impossibility, perpetual motion. We all know that if, when comfortably seated, book or newspaper in hand, opposite the fire, our foot involuntarily seeks the fender, there is one position above or below which there is rest for the sole thereof ; but that position gained, the slightest impulse will origi nate an increasingly violent oscillation. It is the position of unrest, and aptly figures the arch diaconal Church position. With exceptions few in proportion to their numbers, the " in- ferior clergy " preserve the quiet of eccle siastical fear or hope. The " superior clergy " also in modern times have not rattily HENRY EXZTERS among them ; the busiestauthority, of othisrto order being generally trimmers to and vigorous resistance, as we neighbours at Oxford will readilytestify. ofLondon our The arch-deacons, on the contrary, can never be still ; two of them just now are troubling the repose of their venerable mother ; one beards his archbishop with protests from the " Vale of Taunton ;" the other ascend s M ount Hor, puts o ff hi s A ng lican vestments, and investments too, and bids his superior of York to put them on some one who is content to wear the livery of the QUEEN over the robes of the priest. This latter one is a son of the late philanthropist, and a stiffly evangelical Churchman, WILBERFORCE, and a brother of the present Bishop of Oxford, of Tractarian notoriety ; also brother to HENRY WILBERFORCE, who consis tently laid aside concealed for open Romanism, and who has for some time been an active member of the Papal Communion. The Church and State Gazette of Friday last Mr. BROOK is, of course, sadly grieved ; he expos tulates at great length with his Primate forgiving up proceedings without consulting those with whom he was acting, and " begs to ask whether his Grace has legal grounds for accepting the resigna tion of Archdeacon WILBERFORCB after proceed ings had been commenced against him." The Archbishop curtly replies—" I acted according to the best of my judgment at the time. My opinion remains unchanged." Mr. BROCK, how ever, though snubbed, could argue still, and re cords his protest against the Archbishop's evasion of a judicial decision in a full column of our con temporary from whom we quote ; and there the matter, we suppose, will now rest. In the details of these elerical squabbles it is impossible that the public should feel much interest. Clerics always did dispute, and always will. To some of the more general bearings, however, of these controversies none of us can well be indifferent. Mr. BROCK appears but little of the Christian in wanting to compel his brethren to go to law ; the Archbishop, on the other hand, seems but a timid defender of his own faith. When Mr. BROCK would stand on the technical ground, " once a priest always a priest," he is but reviving the mean subterfuge by which HORNE ToOKE was ex cluded from the House of Commons, and Mr. SHORE so intolerantly dragged to gaol by the Bishop of EXETER. Notwithstanding the legal dictum of a learned Judge, common sense coincides with general practice in permitting a very differ ent license to the clerical servants of the State, and those which belong to the warlike professions. Desertion is fatal to the conduct of the latter, and can never go unpunished. But in the Church a man's whole worth depends upon his honest ac ceptance of her Articles and Formularies. If Elie re nounces them in heart, we are compelled to com mend rather than to censure his withdrawal ; indeed straightforward Englishmen complain of Tractarians chiefly for remaining in the Church, not for leaving it. It strikes us also that the Evangelicals have not ' acted a very dignified part in insisting, since the GORHAM decision, so strenuously on.theß,oyal Head ship of the Church. Before that event they used to apologise for the fact, and to explain it away as best they might. Now it is the main point in their ecclesiastical creed. It is but a poor decision for them. It barely tolerates them in the Church, while it affirms the doctrine of their opponents. In our judgment, and we avow it openly, the controversy between Evangelicals and Tractarians is rapidly forcing both into false posi tions with regard to the National Church ; and if the combatants have only as much sturdy theo logical honesty as their brethren on the' other side of the Tweed, it will, at no distant day, force them both out of her communion. In fact, the belligerents are, in our opinion, doing what neither of them desire—they are disposing men's minds to look without repugnance on the idea of separation of Church and State. LATEST NEWS. THE CRIMEA. PARIS, MONDAY MORNING. The Moniteur confirms the intelligence of the death of Marshal St. Arnaud. It also contains the following despatch from General Canrobert : BALAKLAVA, SEPT. 28. Marshal St. Arnaud, seriously ill, has handed over to me the command of the army, agreeably to the orders of the Emperor. This morning I am preparing provisions at Balaklava, and this evening I shall commence my march towards Sebastopol. _ _ _ The enemy not having shown himself since the victory at Alma, our march, turning towards the south of Sebastopol, has been effected without diffi culty. When I am established on the heights which com mand Sebastopol, I shall take steps for receiving my provisions and siege guns from the bays of Cape Chersonese. We have received the following from our corre spondent at Berlin : BERLIN, SUNDAY EVBNING. The following official despatch was published ai St. Petersburg on the 6th : " Prince Menschikoff has advanced his army corps nearer to the North Fort. " The French have left the north side without a contest, and embarked to join the English, who have landed at Balaldava. "Up to the 30th no fresh battle had been fought." A. private despatch from Odessa, of a not very trustworthy character, which has reached Berlin, states that nothing decisive had occurred at Sebas topel up to the 4th of October. VIENNA, OCT. 7. Marshal de St. Arnaud died on the 29th of September, on board the steamer that was to bring him back. General Canrobert, as senior officer, has suc. ceeded to the command. The investment of Sebastopol was to be corn pleted on the 29th September. VIENNA, SATURDAY, OCT. 'T Omer Pacha received orders on the 2d inst. to commence offensive operations immediately. Prince Gortschakoi received orders on the sth to recross the Pruth, if the Turks crossed the Sereth to attack Bessarabia. Russian accounts state that the Allies invest Sebastopol—that they are well provided with pro visions and water, and only await their siege artillery from Balaklava,. A despatch, published at St. Petersburg, con tains news from the Crimea, of the 30th ult. Prince Menschikoff's division had approached the northern fort of Sebastopol. The French retired from the northern side, with out fighting, to join th e t roops at Balaklava. VIENNA, SUNDAY, OCT. 8. The Vienna papers contain the following : "An English man-of-war has brought 840 wounded Rmtsians to nu onko ff " No further engagement had taken place in the Crimea up to the 2d inst. 66 From Thoodosia (Kaffa), Kutch, and Perokop THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY,'EVENING, OCTOBER 9, 185 41 gives the closing act, as we suppose, of the WIL BERFORCE (ROBERT) squabble. This worthy Trac tarian and Archdeacon had, it appears, published a book on the " Doctrine of the Holy Eucharist," avowing, it would seem, opinions on that question as remote as possible from Protestantism, and as near, as different language would permit, to the Papal dogma of transubstantiation. His brother the Bishop fraternally commended the book and its doctrine, representing it as containing the " only views which can save the Church of England at the present crisis." Hereupon Mr. WILLIAM BROCK writes rather hotly to the mitred. brother, inquiring into the truth of his reported commendations. The Bishop replied, justifying himself and the Archdeacon, and after, we believe, another exchange of epistolary shots, the Bishop and Mr. BROCK parted. Mr. BRocK, however, was not a man of the mettle to sit down quietly in the same church and diocese with a Romanising Archdeacon. He determines to have a judicial decision on the Popish book. The Archbishop of YORK is moved to unite in legal proceedings against Mr. WILBERFORCE. The Archdeacon, to facilitate proceedings, manfully avows the paternity of the book, and the Evangelicals saw victory as securely in their hands as we lately imagined Sebastopol to be in those of the Allies. But, alas ! they too were doomed to dis appointment. Mr. ROBERT WILBERFORCE discover ed that a doctrine which he vigorously espoused four years ago, but has left undisturbed ever since, the legal and canonical doctrine of the Queen's supremacy, could be borne with no longer. He resigns all he can resign of the priest, and the priest's emoluments. His superior of York accepts the resignation, and abandons at the same time the legal proceedings. The Book and its doctrines are still uncondemned, and Mr. BROCK, and those with whom he acts, have lost their ex pected triumph. 15,000 infantry, 8,000 cavalry, and 30 guns bad reinforced Menschikoir. BUCHAREST, OCT. 5. Prince Stirbey arrived here to-day. The Austro-Wallachian authorities received him with all honours. PARIS, SUNDAY, OCT. 8. The Sinai has arrived at Marseilles, with advices from Constantinople of the 30th. Nearly all the Russians have shut themselves up in Sebastopol, leaving only one division outside, commanded by Prince Menschikoff, who expects 20,000 men from Anapa. The Russians have no other reserve in the Crimea. The demoralisation of the garrison of Sebastopol is increased by the cholera. An aqueduct has been destroyed by the Allies. 8,000 cavalry belonging to the three nations (England, France, and Turkey) have been happily landed in the Crimea. RUSSIA. The St. Petersburg Journal of the 30th ult. an nounces that a despatch had been received from Prince Menschikoff, in which he informs. the Emperor that the Anglo-French army having ad vanced against the Russian positions on the Alma, those positions had been defended for several hours against the obstinate attack of the enemy. At last, finding his troops menaced on both flanks by the superior forces of the enemy, and especially by the assistance rendered to the land force by the fleets, he had thought it right to withdraw them towards evening beyond the Katcha, and th© day after to take up a position before Sebastopol, where he was preparing to offer a warm opposition to the enemy. BIVOUAC ON THE ICATCHA. A hatter in the Moniteur, dated Sept. 23, says : " Just as I expected, the Russians were not to be found on the Katcha, where we arrived this evening. From what we have heard, they will not wait for us even on the Belbeck. It seems that their consternation and de moralisation are extreme. Their confidence in the bat teries of Sebastopol appears to diminish rapidly. To-day they have sunk three of their vessels at the entrance of the port, to prevent our fleet from entering. To-morrow we shall be close to the place, and we hope it will not be long before it falls into our power. The army of the East will then have accomplished a great enterprise." BIVOUAC ON THE BELISECK. The Moniteur from a letter of the 24th extracts the following : "BIVOUAC ON THE BELBECK; Sept. 24.—We have passed the Belbeck to-day without any opposition, a thing utterly incomprehensible to any one who has seen the posi tion. A handful of men with artillery might have op posed an effectual check, but a feerful state of alarm exists in this wretched :may. " An officer who was to-day in the rearguard with the Turks assures us that when we changed our direction to the left in order to pass theßelbeck higher up, he saw throe Russian battalions end a battery, ordered by their officers to attack our rear-guard, refuse to stir. This gives some idea of their demoralisation." LETTER FROM THE COAST OF THE CRIMEA. Off Sebastopol, H.M.S. —, Sept. 25. On the 20th, 13 miles north of Sebastopol, the allies, after an action of three hours, gained a decided victory, driving tho Russians into Sebastopol. The country is beyond description beautiful and fer tile, the people favourably disposed towards us, and I think, in a few days, Sebastopol must be ours. Mens chikoff was in the battle. The battle-field is frightful—the dead, dying, and wounded, stretched out helpless and moaning ; the vil lages burnt, the farms destroyed, the inhabitants scat tered, gardens trampled down, and near the smouldering ruins of the farm-houses the household dogs howling. God grant us safe from an invading army, and all the atrocities which follow ! The army is now (25th) within three miles of Sebas topol, our fleet taking every opportunity of throwing in shot and sh.ell. I regret to say cholera is not yet gone from the fleet and army; still the men are in good spirits, and never di , t soldiers fight better than at the Alma. " George" is quite well and full of fighting ardour, talking of double-shotted guns and shells whistling about his ears as if they were as common as marbles. He has grown tall, looks hearty, and has an excellent chamfer." THE BLACK. SEA. ODESSA, Sept. 26.—The Lloyd says " General Gort schakoff has arrived hare. lie conferred with Generals Krusenstern and Annenkoff on the question of sending reinforcements to Prince Menschikoff. There are not at present more than 20,000 men here and in the neigh bourhood, and the difficult point to settle was how to supply the void here in case a part of the gar rison be sent to the Prince's relief. There was also a report here that every effort would be made by the allies to compel Sebastopol to surrender on the sth of October, this bc:ng the anniversary of the Porte's declaration. Further, it is believed that that surrender must inevitably be made, since Prince Menschikoff has declared in a despatch received here that the place will be untenable unless he receives a powerful reinforcement. Prince Gortachakoff declared in return he could not spare any troops, for ho knew that Omer Pacha was watching an oppor tunity of assuming the offensive against Bossarabia, and there was only a force barely sufficient to ward off com bined attacks. The conclusion of the business is, that the Crimea, which for the rest is considered as good as lost, can only be cared for by the necessary defence of Odessa, and Bessarabia being neglected." THE WHITE SEA. The Monit cur publishes a notification, issued on the 12th August last by Captains Ommanney and Guilbert, commanding the allied squadron in the White Sea, de claring the ports of Archangel and Onega, and all the other ports, harbours, and creeks from Cape Sviatornos to Cape lianin, in a state of blockade. THE BALTIC. COPENHAGEN, Sept. 29.—Lastlevening the banquet to the Jutland and other deputies eras given in the Casino, which was crowded. About 1,000 persons were pre sent. There was a slight contretemps at the commence ment. The committee had very properly resolved that the King's health should not be proposed ; but some soft-hea,rted•man thought this a pity, and, as a half measure, proposed three (instead of nine) cheers for " th e head of the State. The consequence was that two thirds of the assembly were silent, and the few cheers were mingled with powerful blues. The rest of the proceedings were most harmonious. Of all the toasts, I will only mention one, proposed by Ritnestad—" Success to the Western Powers, the noble champions of freedom and civilisation against the barbarous enemy of Europe !" which was received with three times three rapturous cheers. It was evident from the speeches of the West Danes that the feelings there are as strong as in the capital ; and it is most gratifying that in five short years our Danish cousins have learned to appreciate so highly the principles of selflovernment, and the immense be nefits conferred upon them by their noble Constitution. Sept 30.—The text of the famous Jutland address has now been made public. It is too long to trans late. The first paragraph declares that the feelings aroused by the anniversary of the Constitution (the sth of (Tune), are still in full force. The second reminds the King that the Constitution was freely agreed upon by Xing and people, at a moment when% other Monarchies were tumbled in the dust ; while the Danish people offered their money and their blood to defend his Majesty s throne and threatened Crown-land. The third section laments the ingra tude of the whole State intrigue ; shows how the Danish nation, with its usual mildness, had consented even to this humiliation, demanding only that it should take place legally, and that the Constitution should be respected ; and bitterly laments and denounces the il illegalities and oppressions of the present Cabinet. The last paragraph is as follows : " The undersigned, by the Constitution of the Danish kingdom made freemen, which, by the help of God, we intend always to remain, approach the throne, full of confi dence that your Majesty will preserve our libertiesin spite of every danger, and, whatever the difficulty, will see that the new State plan is effected legally in the way pointed out by the Constitution. In troublous times onr country ha. given the world the exalted spectacle of a King and people showing joy and sorrow in truefast attachment, and to his unity superior force was compelled to bow. At this mo ment the danger is as great. But we do not despair. Our King is strong when he seeks his support in the love of his people." OCT. 3.—The speech from the throne has made an lin• menso sensation. Its insolence is matchless. It lays the Parliament and people of Denmark. tinder ban ; or rathery it horses them, and administers due cor rection with the whole-state cat-o'nine-tails. Its lan guage is that of the feudal baron to his rebellious vassals, and it has been resented accordingly. Every body is indignant. One . effect has been td modify the proceedings of tho Parliament. They will now begin with impeachment, partly because the Cabinet would still continue to sit, terrorise, and intrigue. The Par liament will therefore commence with a solemn and motived address to the King. If that fails, they will refuse further tax es .

There were 100 bales Pernam and Maran- 25 ham sold at 5/d. to 6gd., 200 Egyptian at s d. to 70., st. 812 s and. 500 Surat at 3d. to 41d. per lb. The railway St. share market was quiet, but firm. St. 50 The grain market has been very firm to-day, 25 and wheat is. higher than last Monday. (00 In a report of the fruit trade by Messrs. Rough- r ton and Levy, of Liverpool, currants are described , 2 , as having been dull throughout the month, the 20 dealers not being disposed to increase their stocks until they have more positive information of the new crops, as the accounts lately have been of a varied character. Holders, however, acting upon their advices, have not pressed on the market. There are no arrivals yet of now fruit, and as the winter demand will shortly set in, should the predictions of importers be realised respecting the supplies, the quantity, to meet even a moderate consumption, will certainly fall short. Raisins and figs have had a brisk sale. The accounts from the Baltic state that there was great interest felt to ascertain the intentions of the allied fleets. The French steamers, since their return to Kiel, had been actively engaged taking provisions on board and otherwise preparing for a conflict or a longer stay in the Baltic, and they had exhausted their coal depot, at which 22,000 tons had been left. The weather was getting unfavour able, and it was feared the storms which early pre vail in the Baltic would expose the ships of war to considerable risk. Many of the vessels had been damaged, and one French steamer came into colli sion with a vessel upon leaving the Baltic. The French.ship-of-war Jemappes was nearly lost, hay ing parted her chains and anchor, and been driven out to sea. The officers of the fleet considered that they could remain yet a month or six weeks in the Baltic. St. Petersburg advices of Sept. 30 quote the rate of exchange on London for three mouths' paper at 36 11-16 to .7 1 , and on Paris at 379 to 380 con times. The shares of the Russian American Com pany were at 230, and of the Gas Company at 69. The Five per Cent. Metallics were at 97 for the first series of 1850. The affairs of Mr. Edward Oliver, of Liverpool, have been arranged so as to allow of the business being carried on, and Messrs. Allen and Anderson expect to be in a position to meet all claims, and in the interim will conduct their operations as usual, specially protecting the produce of their cor respondents.
