ported, but this news was evidently premature. The courier in question must have brought news three days later in date than that received in Bu charest on the 28th ult., for he could not have left Constantinople before the 28th, and it does not re quire much more than 30 hours for a steamer to run from Sebastopol to Constantinople. The Lloyd of Vienna of the Ist says : "According to an authentic despatch from Bucharest of the 28th ult., Prince Menschikoff has been attacked in the plain of the Katcha by the allied troops, and com pletely beaten in a sanguinary battle, and pursued up to the entrenchments of Sebastopol. Sebastopol itself is seriously menaced, and no longer tenable. A second despatch of the 28th states that on the 23d the allied troops took the forts on the left bank of the port of Sebastopol, and a report was current that Sebastopol had surrendered." A telegraphic despatch from Vienna of the Ist, in the New Prussian Gazette, says : " Since yesterday several accounts have arrived here, announcing a defeat of the Russians on the Alma, and the fall of. Sebastopol. There appears to be no doubt that the troops have occupied the heights of Sebastopol. As to the news of the surrender of that place, it is at present premature. In Russian circles, it is said that Prince Menschikoff had retired on Sebastopol after an attack from the allied troops far superior to his own. The left wing of the Russian army is said to have been exposed to the the of the fleets. The Turkish ambassa dor has communicated to the Austrian Government a despatch announcing to him the fall of Sebastopol." The Cologne Gazette has also the following from Bucharest, dated the 28th ult. " On the 22d, the allied troops fought a desperate battle with the Russians, near Kalantai. It lasted several hours, and Prince Menschikoff was completely routed. The day after Sebastopol was taken. Kalantai is a town on the right bank of the Alma, six leagues to the north of Sebastopol, and half a league from the sea." I learn by the provincial journals that the news of the victory of the Alma, and the report of the fall of Sebastopol, have been everywhere received with enthusiasm. Some of the towns regarding the account of the taking of Sebastopol as certain have not waited for the official confirmation of it to make public manifestations of satisfaction. The camp in the South, which at present con tains about 7,000 men, is about to be increased by 10 new battalions, which will nearly double its effective. A floating steam-battery, consisting of 16 guns of 50, is being constructed at Cherbourg. It is flat-bottomed, and is on the screw principle. It is destined to be employed in the spring against the Russian fortresses in the Gulf of Finland. The Phare de la Manche'of Chertharg, Ist inst. states that the greatest bustle and activity prevail at that port. The Cleopatre, frigate, arrived there on the 28th ult. from the Baltic, and landed 600 men belonging to the expeditionary corps, who are quartered in town. On same day two English trans ports arrived, and landed further detachments, and sailed again the following day on their return to England. The Virginie and Poursuivante, frigates, are fitting out for the China seas. The Sirene and the Cleopatre are preparing to take troops on board, and when ready will proceed to Brest. The Tilsitt is about to enter the docks to take on board her lower deck guns which had been landed to make room for the conveyance of troops. A letter from Calais, 2d, says that the tele graphic despatch announcing the fall of Sebastopol. was posted up on Sunday last at the Hotel de Valle, and produced the most enthusiastic emotion. In a short time after the town was completely hung with flags, and in the evening the majority of the houses were illuminated. On the following day, the Municipal authorities invited the inhabitanti to attend a Te Denim, which was sung at the church of Notre Dame. The procession to the church was headed by M. Mayer the Mayor of Calais, and M. Bonham, the English Consul, and followed by all the principal inhabitants. The day Was kept as a complete fete, and at night there was a second illumination, which was succeeded by a grand display of fireworks. The Minister of Marine has received a report from Vice-Admiral Parseval, dated Kiel, the 30th ult., in which he says— "I had the honeur of transmitting to your Excellency by the Reine Hortense an account of the serious event which, for two hours, made me fear fer the fate of the Austerlitz. That vessel, to whose assistance I despatched the Darien has suffered little or nothing from her grounding. Under the natural influence of his first alarm, her commanding officer sent me an account which I am happy to say has turned out unfounded. The vessel, it is now found, does not make any water, and ker machine works well, and has only required a few trifling repairs, which were readily made at sea, not withstanding the rough weather." The Three per Cents. closed yesterday at 76f. 50c. for the end of the month ; the Four-and-a- Half per Cents. at 99f. 20c. ; and the New Loan at 76f. 25c. ; Orleans Railway Shares, 1,255 f. ; Rouen, 987 f. 50c. ; Havre, 605 f. ; Great Northern, 875 f. ; Strasburg, 841 f. 25c. ; New Shares, 655 f. ; Paris and Lyons, I,olof. ; Lyons and the Mediter ranean, 862 f. 50c. ; Western of France, 675 f. ; Bordeaux and Cette, 623 f. 75c. ; Great Central of France, 525 f. ; Lyols and Geneva, 542 f. 50c. ; Bank of Credit Main )r, 762 f. 50c.. THE BALTIC. INTENDED OPERATIONS RETURN OF THE FLEET COUNTERMANDED. COPENHAGEN, Oct. 3.—Since the receipt of the news from the Crimea the order for the return of the fleets has been countermanded. Steamers have been sent to fetch back the ships sailing homewards. The Cumberland passed the Belt yesterday. KIEL, Oct. I.—H.M.S. Ajax sailed this morning. The French steam-frigates Darien and Aigle, and the Emperor's steam-yacht La Reins Hortense, are here ccaling. The French line-of-battle-ships Austerlitz, In flexiblo, and Le Tags, are lying at anchor in the outer port. An immense influx of strangers from the sur rounding parts has taken place to-day to pay a visit to the French squadron. Colonel Hodges, the British Charge d'Affaires at Hamburg, arrived here this afternoon, bringing with him the news of the great battle and defeat of the Russians on the Itiver Alma, as published in an extra supple ment of the Hamburg Correspondent. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 20th ult. have ar rived 1 ; those of the 30th ult. are due. The Gazette cont: tins a circular from the Minister of the Inte rior to th© governors of provinces, directing them, in th e Queen's name, to call on the Provincial De pute: tions to prepare the budget and resources of 1855 before separating. Telegraphic despatches had lbeen received announcing the defeat of some small Carlist bands in Catalonia, but addin g that a fev r days before not fewer than 28 Carlist officers had crossed the frontier. Several officers of the regin aent of Cordova, which rose in insurrection at Sara gossa, had demanded to be employed against the ( iarlists. A noted Carlist chief, named. Car gel, I had. died in the province of Girona, and seven of hi. s band had been made prisoners. PORTUGAL. Tl le King Regent of Portugal has just sent the insic nia of the Order of Isabella to the Duchess of Brab ant. Tble Ministerial journals of Lisbon, of the 23d ult., deny that there is any truth in the report whit h was current of the Duke de Saldanha being about to leave Portugal, and they say that a great improvement had taken place in his health. .

The public pleadings on the:affair of the landing of the insurgents in the vicinity of La Spezia, on the 13th of May last, are to commence at Genoa on the 10th of November. MISCELLANEOUS. The Moniteur publishes a long report received by the Minister of War from the• Military Intendant of the Army of the East. The report commences by stating of whom the personnel of the Intendauce is composed and the places where they are stationed. Under the head of Hospitals, the report states that at present all the hospital service is established in Turkey, and that until hospitals can be formed at Sebastopol all *he casualties will be immediately removed to Constantinople. M. S. Lambert, who represents at Brussels the huse of Rothschild Brothers in Paris, has just be appointed Consul-General for Greece in Bel- gium. The Vienna Copirte Zeitung announces that the differences between the Berlin and Vienna Cabinets are perfectly satisfied with each other, and the latter perfectly contented with the declarations and explanations of tho former. THE VICTORY ON THE ALMA. SHIELDS. On Tuesday the harbour of Shields presented an in teresting and imposing spectacle on the occasion of the rejoicing for the success of the armies of the allies in the Ciiinea. Flags of the following nations were seen floating on board vessels belonging to the respective countries, and moored in the same tiers with English and French ships :—Belgium, the Netherlands, the United States of America, Danish, Sardinian, Austrian, Portuguese, Swedish, Norwegian, and the Hanse Towns. The only rnaritiMe flag that did not mingle in the general rejoicing wa. , 4 the Black Eagle of Prussia. The Prussian vessels in the harbour presented bare poles. CHESTER. The first news of the glorious defeat of the Russians reached Chester on Sunday morning, and was mentioned from the pulpit in some of the churches as an additional motive for joining fervently in the special thanksgiving of the day. After morning and evening services peals were rung at several churches in honour of the victory. On Monday morning the arrival of the London papers by railway was looked for with great interest and anxiety. The ringing of the bells at the churches was almost gene ral during the afternoon and evening.—Chester Courant. COLCHESTER. At Colchester the news of the ♦ictory of the allied armies at Alma occasioned general rejoicing, which was expressed by the ringing of merry peals on St. Peter's bells, and a perambulation of the town by the local band, playing martial airs, and escorted by a guard of honour, composed of the recruiting staff, who volunteered their assistance in the commemoration. The sanction (in his worship's absence) of the Mayor's deputy was also ob tained for a bonfire and pyrotechnic display in the even ing. Iu the meantime a colossal effigy of the Czar was prcpared, and a couple of scaffold poles, with a chain and pulleys, were set up at the top of High-street to suspend the Royal " Guy." In the evening some thou sands of persons were collected by the kindling of the bonfire ; and about 8 o'clock " the Emperor Nick" was brought out and hoisted by way of exhibition before committing him to the flames ; but the figure instantly became a mark for the mimic artillery of the crowd, in the shape of Roman candles, squibs, &c., several of which " took effect," and at length set fire to the dra pery, the flames gradually extending themselves till the conflagration was completed by a " dip" into the bon fire below, the burning mass being again drawn up amidst the shouts of the spectators. During the even ing a number of rockets were fired, and there was a profuse expenditure of gunpowder in various shapes by way of celebrating the occasion.—Essex Standard. TORQUAY. The news of the glorious victory on the Alma reached this town on Saturday evening, between seven and eight o'clock, and, although couched in very brief terms, so great was its import that it spread among the inhabi tants with marvellous rapidity. Immediately on Cap tain Rodway, of the Torquay Rifle Corps, becoming aware of the circumstance, he called out the members of the gallant corps to do honour to the glorious event. The corps fired a feu de joie, and simultaneously the harbour was illuminated at 6 or 7 different spots with brilliant crimson fire, producing one of the finest effects ever witnessed, the band playing the National Anthem. Three hearty cheers were then given by the Riflemen, joined by the multitude, for the Queen, the band repeat ing the National Anthem ; and again for the army and navy, the band playing " Rule Britannia." Several villas, the most conspicuous of which was Waldron Castle, the residence of Lieutenant Dashwood, were illu minated, presenting a most imposing scene.—Torquay Recorder. BLACKBURN. On Monday and Tuesday flags were hoisted on. the various mills and public edifices in the town in celebra tion of the great victory recently achieved by the allies in the Crimea. The bells of the parish church also rang merry peals in honour of the event. Cannons were likewise fired at some of the mills during the former of the above days.—Blackburn Standard. BURNLEY. Considerable excitement was evinced by the inhabi tants of Burnley, on Monday last, when the , placards were posted announcing the capture of Sebastopol. At noon the operatives made a complete rush to the places where an account of the "glorious victory " was to be seen.—Blackburn Standard. BOSTON. The Boston Guardian, writing on the fall of Sebas topol, says :—" On the ramparts of Sebastopol the standards of England, France, and Turkey are now planted, and their colours float over the vanquished walls. Who can calculate the changes about to be effected throughout the nations of the earth? Civilisa tion, without the diffusion of vice ; Liberty, without anarchy ; Government, without tyranny ; Christianity, without priestcraft : these inestimable blessings may be on the eve of a glorious and eternal dawning." ABERDEEN AND THE NEIGHBOITRHOOD. The excitement of the public mind with respect to the war has been raised to fever heat by the receipt of the intelligence of the battle in the Crimea and the re ported fall of Sebastopol. The interest felt in the subject was strikingly displayed in Aberdeen on Sunday. The news of the important arrival spread like wildfire. Nowhere was the intelli gence received with greater interest than at Huntly. The news reached that town on Monday forenoon and was received with the liveliest excitement. A great demonstration was forthwith made by the ringing of the bells of the Established and Roman Catholic churches and of the Gordon schools, and for a time nothing was to be seen but groups of parties everywhere in the streets discussing the important intelligence.—Banff shire Journal.

Tho sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 10,000 bales, including 1,500 American and 1,500 Surat taken for export and on speculation. The market closed with an up ward tendency—American id. and Surat 1-16 d. against the buyer. Other sorts without alteration. The sales comprised 6,500 American, 120 Pernam and Maranham at 51d. to 6id., 100 Bahia at 6gd. to 9d., 600 Egyptian at 50. to 9d., and 2,500 Surat at 3d. to 4id. per lb. Railway Shares were quiet. The Commercial Daily List gives the following : " The late charge of 2d. per cwt. on the export of all goods by water by the various dock companies, we are happy to hear, is withdrawn. The following letter on the subject has been received by Messrs. J. Cook and Company : " ' London Dock House, Oct. 3 "< My dear Sir,—lt is agreed to abandon the charge for delivery by water, of which official notice will be given in a day or two.—Yours faithfully, " 'J. D. POWLES. " James Cook, Esq.' " It is never an agreeable office to dwell upon commercial difficulties or to foreshadow monetary tightness and restriction, but one cannot, as a matter of public duty, avoid reference to circum stances that may arise as well as to those that are occurring. It has been evident to those who watch the state. of the produce markets, for example, that there was a loss as between the values paid iii India and England, and that either] the . consigners or the consignees must be affected'. thereby. In the unsatisfactory mode of doing business before the crisis which oc curred a few years since, the long credits fostered, 12 nay compelled, a constant purchase of staples in 50 India at whatever price was asked , and, as a no- IV cessary result, the shipment of manufactures from g t. l this side, however great the glut at Calcutta or . 1.9 i Bombay. Tho explanation of this apparent P ) anomaly, this reckless desire to trade in the Its face of a loss on both sides of the account, was simply that a large amount of long 20 dated bills had to be kept afloat, that these 1 0 bills in order to be discountable must repre s t - sent something, and that there was always a vague 50 hope that some lucky change in the markets would g bring large profits, and enable the losing firm to 25 rec over its position. Nor was this such an unrea- BSI. sonable expectation when we know that prices have st. s fallen or risen 20 and 30 per cent. within a few St. months. The cause of the suspensions which are 25 now occurring in the provinces are various, too but the altered state of the Australian business, p and the war are the primary agents, while the eo failure of the American maize crop, and even the 20 abundant harvest in England, will prove accesso ries, because they derange previous calculations. Mr. Edward Oliver, who has stopped payment at Liverpool, with liabilities estimated at 700,0001., is a large shipowner, and his property having, it is said, been materially increased by purchases made while ships were very dear, there is a loss owing to the present depreciation. The fall in freights from the extravagant scale of January and March, 1853, is hardly a fair criterion, but the effect of that rise was to enhance the selling price of ships, and since then the re action is about 30 per cent. The other suspension reported, that of Messrs. James WHenry and Co., is due to the disturbance of the provision trade, chiefly as connected with America, and the amount, it is feared, will be rather heavy. As to the Man chester business, it is asserted that the recent failhres must not be taken in any way as an indication of general unsoundness, since, as is alleged, in no town are cash payments more the rule than at Manchester. For our own part wo will not conceal our opinion that many more stoppages will occur ; but generally the assets will be better than was the case when such extensive ruin fell upon the commercial world about 6 years ago. At the moment of our writing we hear very un pleasant rumours affecting the credit of another important house at Liverpool, but we refrain from further allusion, being solicitous not to aggravate the uneasy feeling which prevails. There continues extreme heaviness in Public Securities, and the supply of money stock is in ex cess of the present demand. A revival of pur chases would, however, soon absorb all that is offering. The absence of any confirmation of the fall of Sebastopol, and the mercantile failures caus ing more demand for money, stimulate a few sales, and there is no counter speculation to sustain the market.

IN RE MACKENZIE, CAMERON, AND BOYLE. These bankrupts were described as of Levant House, St. Helen's-place, Bishopsgate, merchants, and applied for their certificates. Arguments were heard at great length yesterday, and evidence taken with respect to an opposition, and ulti mately the case was adjourned till ten o'clock this morn ing, when another lengthened examination took place. It is not likely that it will be completed to-day as there were other cases on the list. The debts are ststed at 30,0001., and only slender hopes entertained of a dividend. THE REGISTRATIONS. WEST SURREY. Archer Ryland, E4q., the Revising Barrister, held his court at the King's Arms Hotel, Godalming, on Satur day last. Mr. G. E. Dennes and Mr. J. Wells, solici tors, of London, attended for the Reformers ; and Messrs. King and Parsons for the Tories. GODALMING.—In this parish there were 25 objections by the Tories, principally against the allottees of the National Freehold Land Society, who have an estate at Farncomb, and for whom Mr. G. E. Dennes was re tained to defend their votes. On the first objection being called on, Mr. Dennes ob jected to the notices of objection, on the ground that the objector, at the time he signed his name, did not put his place of residence. Mr. Kiog not being able to prove the same, the whole of the objections failed. The vote of the Rev. S. E. Lyon, the incumbent of St. John's Church, Farnham, was objected to, by the Liberals. He produced a deed to show that be was the perpetual curate, the rent for the pews alone was 3/. 12s. for the last quarter. Mr. Dennes contended that 'suffi cient had not been shown to retain the vote. The re vising barrister said that Mr. Lyon was neither rector or vicar, it was a nice point, but as he had some doubt he should allow the vote. The case ought, however, to be looked into, and the vote again might be objected to at the next registration. At the conclusion of the revision Mr. King, on the part of the Tories, asked for a case for the opinion of the Court of Common Pleas against the decision of the revising barrister, with reference to the informality of the notices in the case above•mentioned, but which he would not for a moment entertain, having on previous occasions decided the same question.

In the letter to the Mayor of Windsor, in which the Duke of Cleveland enclosed his subscription to the fund for Mr. Perry, his Grace expressed his opinion, as a mi— litary officer of rank, that the 46th Regiment, as regards the Young officers, is in a disgracefully undisciplined state, and that this state is the fault of the commanding officer. The former opinion has, most probably, not a single dissentient voice—out of the Horse Guards, the messes, and the barrack-rooms ; but it is, after all, rather inferential than warranted by established facts. Never theless, it began to prevail among the people as soon as the shuffling conduct of the parties interested iir procur ing Lieutenant Perry's conviction became notorious, and that result was prepared by the members of the court martial themselves, who, when the prisoner remarked that his material witnesses had been despatched to the army in the East, sneeringly observed, "We thought so," and thereupon indulged iu " a laugh," What, people asked themselves, did these men, who were foisted out of the humble sphere of their capabilities into the. seat ofjus tice, consider to be laughable ? Was it the mischief in tended to Mr. Pefry's defence, or the success of the piti ful trick by which his material witnesses were got rid of on the eve of the trial, because it was felt certain to be most conclusive against the characters of the prosecutors, and most likely the whole of the commissioned part of the army ? Nor were these facts, damaging as they were to the reputation of all the parties concerned in bringing them about, the whole of the causes of public condem nation of the 46th Regiment in particular, and of strong suspicions that other regiments were not one whit batter. It is obvious that we refer to the partial manna in which a military advocate unblushingly interfered, as a judge of the propriety or impropriety of questions for the de fence ; to the prevarications of most of the witnesses, and the perjuries of others ; and finally, to the tameness with which the quasi jud.;es endured all these irregu larities, neither rebuking offendrrs, nor committing them for contempt or the felenes of which themselves were witnesses. By no act weitever di.l these soldier judges vindicate the honour and d?L • mity of their court—a thing hitherto unheard of in any constituted tribunal. What more could be wanted to convince a 'nation which has long been accustomed to pride itself on the integrity of its judges, the dignified propriety of its trials, and the strict impartiality of its j mlieial proceedings, that much worse 'was kept in the dark than was suffered to come into the light? To make matters still worse, and to convince a people already suspicious of the truth, that the 46 th'Regiment was not a solitary instance of neglected discipline, the Commander-in-Chief obtained the confirmation of the questionable decisions of this precious court. If the object were to save the credit of the regiment and its commanders, or that of the other regiments, a step more completely unwise could not have been devised. • Such was the state of the case when the Duke of Cleveland wrote his disapprobation of the 46th Regi ment and its Commander. The latter, we perceive by a very long correspondence with the Duke, objects to his judgment on the following grounds :—" The Duke has served in the army only eleven years, and has probably never seen foreign service." If we understand this ob jection, it is to the effect that, unless a man has served twelve years in the. army, the whole or part of the time being spent on foreign service, he cannot judge whether or not a regiment is undisciplined in which it has been proved that the shameful practices described in the evi dence had apparently been ordinary occurrences fgr many past years. After this remarkable specimen of acute reasoning, Colonel Garrett writes :—" As you have unscrupulously pronounced me unfit, and my regiment for years past, as regards young officers, undisciplined, I think I may be permitted to doubt whether your military experience imparts any value to such opinions and asser tions. What weight ought they to have when contrasted with the reports of the numerous general officers who, being duly authorised, have pronounced my regiment, in all its branches, to have been iu a most efficient state of discipline ?" • All men will permit Colonel Garrett to doubt whatever he pleases ; but it is for bun to judge of the prudence of publishing his doubts, and the reasons on which he founds them. In the present instance, he seems to have been as unfortunate in the choice of advisers as those officers were who procured the nomination of lieutenants, mate rial witnesses, for foreign service, so conveniently as to save them the trouble of narrating their experience of the doings in the 46th Regiment, and insure the con viction of a man not proven to be guilty. Colonel Garrett has not taken warning by their fate, and the ill consequences to the regiment which has the honour to be commanded by him. But this portion of his letter, the second, is of greater importance to the country than the rest of the correspondence, or the 46th Regiment itself. It conveys a notion of the nature and character of tho reports of Inspecting-Generals ; and it must now be a public question—of what weight, after the disclo sures before the world relating to this regiment, arb "the reports of numerous general officers, who have pro nounced the 46th Regiment to be, in all its branches, in a most efficient state of discipline ?" There probably is not a judge of a tribunal in Europe who, if acquainted with the truth, would value them at the paper on which they are written. ' The conduct of the Horse Guards in reference to the Windsor courts-martial suggests another question—Of what sort of value are the reports of inspecting-generals, seeing that numbers of them have pronounced such re giments as the 46th to be in a most efficient state of dis cipline "in all its branches ?" But for this expression, and the behaviour of the Horse Guards, the reports might have been received as passably true, for, in all opinions, they would have Leen understood as referring to none but the privates and non-commissioned officers. They may, however, be true in this sense, that the gene rals saw the regiments on parade, and that they inspected the barracks at the time they had appointed for the visit, and consequently they would see nothing of what tran spired on evidence, and has since been confirmed by nu merous letters from the towns in which the 46th had been stationed before it graced Windsor with its residence. It is to the character of the regiment, as it appears from evi dence and notorious facts, that the Duke of Cleveland's letter alone applies, and it is clear, that if he had never seen spur, or feathei', his opinion must have infinitely greater weight than the whole of the com mendatory reports which Colonel Garrett cites before the tribunal of public opinion, seeing that they were made by officers who, if they were cognisant of such facts as are on record, wrote what they knew to be on the wrong side of the truth ; or, if they were not so cognisant, wrote what they could not know to be true. There is no escape from the dilemma in which. Colonel Garrett has unconsciously imprisoned them. Inspection reports, it is now reasonable to believe, are utterly worthless as regards the character of -a regiment and its staff of officers. The Horie Guards. have taught the country what confidence is to be placed in the honour of the highest military authorities. The depravation seems universal in the 'official branches, and no doubt owing to the sale of commissions, and to the prostitution of patronage, in return for political pr other services to the men in present power. If the army is to be respected, and it its officers are to be received as credible witnesses, it will be absolutely ne cessary to remodel the whole system, en the rational basis of preferment by service and capability alone.-- Morning Advertiser. FINSBURY REGISTRATION.—Yesterday mornin g Mr. \V. F. Macqueen, the revising barrister, sat in the Lords Justices' Court, Lincoln's-inn-fields, to revise the lists of voters for the several parishes comprised in this Par liamentary district. Nothing worthy of a report came before the court in the course of the day, and this bo rough, which has hitherto been warmly contested on these occasions by the Liberals and Conservatives, was yesterday represented by neither party. There were about 60 claims made by the overseers, of which about 50 were allowed. _ _ THE WAR Dereneeterr.—The Duke of Newcastle, Minister at War, we understand, was closely engaged on Tuesday at his temporary offices at the Premier's official residence, in Downing-street, with his private secreta ries, Colonel Mundy (military), a relative of his Grace, and Mr. Roberts (Civil secretary), whose business in the department of the noble Duke is transacted at Sir George Grey's office, relative to the important intelligence of the conflict at Sebastopol. We understand that Lieutenant - General Sir Hew Dalrymple Ross, Deputy Master- General of the Ordnance, with the sanction of his Grace, and of the General Commanding-in-Chief, Lord Hemline, ordered the Park and Tower guns to fire a royal salute on Monday, at the early hour of 6 a.m., to celebrate the conquest of the Russian city of Sebastopol by the allied forces ; and Government despatches on the receipt of the intelligence were transmitted to the Queen at Balmoral.

On Sunday they attended the parish church of Trevince, and left that hospitable mansion on Monday. after expressing in the strongest terms the high sense of the extreme kindness and attention of Mr. Williams. Mr. Disraeli was warmly greeted by crowds of persons on passing through the various towns on his journey down and up. The great fair of Liskeard was held (.11 Monday ; the town was crowded with farmers and yeomen from the neighbour hood, who deputed one of their number to express to Mr. Disraeli the high estimation in which they held him, and their great delight in seeing him in the county, which they hoped he would revisit, and which the right hon. • gentleman told them he should surely do. Mr. and Mrs. Disraeli left on Tuesday by the twelve o'clock train for Torquay. Mr. Williams, than whom no one is better acquainted with the means of promoting the interests of Cornwall, lies acted with his usual discrimination and tact, in being the first to introduce into the county such a distinguished person an the late Chancellor of the Exchequer, who, no doubt, this gentleman perceives, cannot be long kept 'from holding a distinguished position In the government of thin cenntry,—Pluntoutk tail. • _ 21i 2S 401 I all all all all
