J, MONEY MARKET AND COMM-BBC:MI, DITELLMENCE. CITY, TWO o'CLOCK, The sales of cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at 5,000 bales, including 1,000 taken for export. The market closed heavily, without change in prices. The sales comprised 4,000 American, 150 Pernam and Marauham, at 52d; to 61d. ; 20 Bahia, at 6id. ; 50 Egyptian, at 6d. to 6V. ; and 600 Surat, at M. to 31d. per lb. Railway Shares were firm. Letters from Birmingham, respecting the Iron trade, are not altogether favourable. Indeed much more caution is stated to exist, an d there seems every probability of a reduction, variously stated at from 20s. to 40s. per ton, being declared in prices at the close of the quarter. The demand for manufactures has greatly diminished, and underselling appears to be actively resorted to. The unsatisfactory position of financial affairs in New York has, of course, caused a material dimi nution in the shipments of manufactures thither. Accounts 'from the Baltic state that during the present year 5,000 ships less have passed the Sound than in 1853, a proof of the severe effects of the blockade. The falling off in English vessels was from 4,683 to 2,000. The Danish Government suffered materially in its revenue from this cause. From Finland we learn that the principal gene rals who had been in command there during the summer bad received orders to proceed to the Crimea, and the large garrisons that had been maintained at Riga and Revel . were reduced almost to the peace standard. Our flying steam squadron in the Baltic is still capturing stray ships, principally salt laden, and the Russian war steamers had returned to Swea borg, and were not again expected to venture out, the winter having already set in with some severity. The letters from India and Australia by the Over land Mail are expected to be delivered to-morrow afternoon. The steamer Pacific left Plymouth on Saturday with a large quantity of letters and papers. Accounts from New York report an upward move ment in the stock market with considerable activity. The last weekly return of the City Banks was of a more favourable character, as it showed a decrease in discounts of 652,049 dollars, and an increase in the specie of 467,852 dollars. The large receipts •f gold from California, and the limitation of busi ness which has for some time past prevailed, led to the belief that the New York money-market would, before many weeks, become comparatively easy. An active demand for breadstuffs had arisen for exportation to Europe, and as it is asserted that there is a large surplus of wheat and flour in the United States, we may look for a fair supply from that quarter. The English Stock Market has been heavy again, and the influential buyers who gave support to prices are not continuing their operations. No doubt they bought upon the supposition that Aus tria was about to adhere more strongly to the 'Western Powers, but the revived rumours of the intention of Russia to accept the four points im pair confidence again, since few can believe in the possibility of re-establishing peace on such terms. Consols have been 925 I, and since 911 to 92 for transfer, the extreme rates for account being 921 and 91k. The New 3 per Cents. have been quoted 901 and 902, and the 3 per Cents. 90g- and 901.

Railway Shares are, in most instances, 4 per cent. lower again, and with more offering, but there has been a fair business done. The French lines are dull. In the Foreign Mines there have been but few transactions, but several bargains have taken place in the Joint Stock Banks and miscellaneous shares, though at rather lower rates. Company.

Sir,—ln the Morning Post of yesterday a letter ap peared from your correspondent at Sebastopol, in which he speaks with high praise of the late Roman Catholic clergyman to the British forces in the East, a mistake has arisen (probably in the printing) with regard to the name, for I grieve to say it is my brother of whom such honourable mention has been made, and who, like so many of our mutual friends after nobly performing his duty, has found an early grave in the Crimea.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, WILLIAM FRANCIS WHEBLE. Bulmershe Court, near Reading, Nov. 25. PRINCE NAPOLEON. TO THE FDITOR OF THE MORNING POST. Sir,—One of your contemporari es , in his correspon dence from Paris, i leon, thinks fit to din speakinguss of H. r . i lt . edly the motives of H.I. Hi g hness's return to Con discuss I. H. Prince Napo rsetpea ample. The Times' cor respondent insists particularly this point, that the Imperial Prince ought not to have a s ; left the camp at a moment when the storming , may I beg of you to take place. Sebastopol is about to justly ap- Without entering into a polemic lay before thoitnglish public, which so v preciates the 'exactitude of your inforrnationesr.r' the most who suffered for several days previous fromuat II 11.9 painful disease, was the whole of the the sth, on horseback, and in the middle day,r the" hottest struggle. Returned to the camp, th e p ri o n - c consequence of the great hardships he had to undergo, ein 'got worse and worse. A consultation of several physi cians took place, who decided unanimously that the Prince ought to quit instanter a spot where the epidemic iufluence still prevails, although in a less degree. Prince Napoleon for several days would not listen to this resolution, and remained at his post for two days after, growitiLt every hour weaker and weaker. At last General Canrobert came and announced to bin, that, in a council of war, it had just been decided upon that the storming of the fortress should be postponed until the arrival of the expected reinforcements. At the same time, his military superior; General Canrobert, insisted imperatively upon the Prince's following imme diately the advice of his physicians, adding that there would be sufficient tinte for the Prince to recover, and to be at the head of his division, where till Slow he had so bravely fought, when the storming of Sebastopol should take place. In consequence, the Prince left the camp on the 7th, and arrived at Constantinople on the 9th. I am happy to add that the Prince's health is so much improved by this change, that at the very mom ent when the Times' correspondent wrote his bitter r emarks, the Prince possibly may have nobly shed his blood on that glorious field of honou r w h ere his uncle and his father have for ever illustrated the name of Bonaparte.—Ac• cspt, &c.

The demand, how ever, was in a sluggish state, and prices had a downward tendency. All Spring corn, the receipts of which Were good, moved off slowly, on rather easier terms. The latest advices from New York state that both wheat and flour were very dull, at drooping prices. Indian corn was brisk, and dearer. Most of the Continental markets have continued steady, but tho business doing in them has been small. Very moderate supplies of English grain were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad were 9,379 quarters of wheat, 880 barley, 24,193 oats, 2,782 beaus, 3,017 peas, 138 tares, 5,999 linseed, 685 rape seed, 41 sundry seeds, and 216 barrels of flour. The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to our market, to-day, ' was very moderate ; and the show of samples of both red and white w as by no means extensive. Although it was stated that orders for the purchase of wheat had been received from France, Belgium, and In land, the demand for all kinds was in u sluggish state. Iu the general quotations we have no actual change to notice from Monday last, nevertheless, that day's prices were barely supported. The principal portion of the supply was composed of new red. We were but moderately supplied with foreign wheat. For all kinds the inquiry was in a sluggish state, yot we can notice no alteration in the quotations. Floating cargoes were dull in sale, but not cheaper. The show of English barley was good, and the transac tions were comparatively limited at, in most instances, a decline in value of is per quarter. Malt—the show of which was moderate—sold slowly, at kolt week's currency. The imports of foreign oats having been large, the oat trado was heavy, at a fall in the value of from 6d to is per quarter. Beans—the supply of which was moderate—were in mo derate request, at last week's currency. Peas changed hands to a fair extent, on former terms. In flour, about an average business was doing, at late rates. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MES§URE.

There was a decided increase in the supply of sheep compared with this day so'nnight. For all breeds wo had a good demand, at fully last week's currency. The best old Downs wore worth 5s per Sibs. We were scantily supplied with both English and foreign calves, which moved off steadily, at full quotations. The firmest calves were worth 5s 4d to 5s Cd per 81bs. Pigs—The supply of which was moderate—sold steadily, at full currencies. We have to state that the trade of this market will be removed to Copenhagen-fields on the 25th of January next. The show of foreign stock here to-day was very moderate, and nearly the whole of it was in low condition. From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts fresh up this morning were small as to number, the time of year considered ; but we observed a great improvement in their general weight and condition ; indeed there was scarcely any really inferior English beasts on offer. As the attendance of buyers was large, and as the weather was favourable for slaughtering, the beef trade ruled brisk, at fully last Monday's advance in the quotations—the best lots selling readily at 5s 2d per 81bs. The droves from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire amounted to 2,000 short horns ; from other parts of England, 500 of various kinds ; and, from Scotland, 84 horned and polled Scots. Last week's import of foreign stock into London was 5,140 head. In the corresponding week in 1853 we received 9,043; in 1852, 5,135 ; in 1351, 7,096 ; - in 1850, 3,903 ; in 1849, 5,743 ; in 1848, 2,321; and in 1847, 3,838 head. IMPORTS INTO LONDON LAST WEER.

SOMETHIICG SHORT. Turfites have little to emi cloy their time or attract their attention. The meeting which was celebrated at Hoylake last week was dreary, flat, a ud unprofitable, and presented few incidents worthy to be faller recorded or remembered. Ben Land was " among then t" with Needwood and upset a pretty "pot" on the "pheasant" Tipperary Boy, who genius to hare benefited little by his Newmarket prepara• tion. By the way, it was noticed with some surprise that Tasker rode Needwood instead of his old jockey Green. Some people say that Green and Land can't always come to a satisfactory understanding on the subject of remnnera tion. The withdrawal of _Nestor from tho Selling Race excited no little indignation, but the horse having been called to the post by the starter, they who backed him wore compelled to pay, and were fain to be contented with the part which they played in " Whose the'Dupe ?" So little interest, however, attached to the proceedings that it is unnecessary to extend my notes. Metropolitan sportsmen will have a day out at Harrow on Thursday. In the present lack of steeple chase horses the Gelds will not be nutuorically strong, but the supply of sport will doubtless be satisfactory. The handicaps have been'framed by Messrs. H. Littler and Green, the steeplechase rider, and are really no bad specimens of im partiality. People, however, pretend to be dissatisfied with the distribution of the weights for the steeplechase, and the Miss Mowbray and British Yeoman party are particularly indignant. Even the assurance, however, which was given that if Miss Mowbray and British Yeo man were "put iu light" they should not run, was Not a sufficient inducement to the promoters of the meeting to risk "sporting" the handicap. I shall be down with the jumpers on Thursday to watch the doings. November 27. A FRESH MAN. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(TBIS DAY.) COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. SHERRY V. MIKE. This was an action for slander, to which the defendant pleaded not guilty. The plaintiff was a servant man, and the defendant a medical man practising in Upper Berkeley-street. The alleged slander was an assumed charge of felony which it was supposed the defendant had made against the plaintiff. The plaintiff, indeed, who had been in the defendant's service, asserted that the defendant added injury to insult by unfairly dis charging him, and then accusing him of having stolen half a bottle of wine ; but the defendant denied that he had ever made such a charge, and de clared that he dismissed the plaintiff for insolence and other misconduct. The jury found a verdict for the defendant, and im mediately afterwards a scene ensued in Court, the plain tiff becoming 'exceedingly violent and calling upon the Creator to deliver him from his unj ustjudges. The plaintiff was removed from court with great difficulty. It appears that he formerly indulged in intemperance, but recently he had turned teetotaller, and the defendant was of opinion that his sudden abstinence from intoxicating drink had affected his brain. CRIIIIINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.) The above court was opened this morning before the Right Hon. the Recorder, Aldermen Wilson, Kelly, Finnis, Sir IL Carden, Carter, and Sir J. Musgrove, Mr. Sheriff Muggeridge, Mr. Sheriff Crosley; Mr. Under• Sheriff Farrar, Mr. Under-Sheriff Crosley, &c. The first edition of the calendar contains the lames of 131 prisoners. The Recorder, in his charge to the grand jury, ex pressed his regret that the number of prisoners for trial precluded him from anticipating a very speedy termina tion of their labours ; although he said it was satisfac tory to see that the calendar did not contain a single charge of murder, and that there was also an absence of the more serious class of offences. The only case h• referred to was a charge of manslaughter arising out of an explosion of a firework manufactory, and he explained to the grand jury that inasmuch as the making of fireworks was in itself an illegal act, in every case where death resulted from it it would amount to the offence of man slaughter. His lordship, in conclusion, called the atten tion of the grand jury to the act of Parliament for the formation of reformatory schools for juvenile criminals, and he expressed his regret that in the extensive juris diction of this court no such establishment had yet been provided. He said ho was fearful that at the present moment, when the public attention was rivetted almost exclusively upon the subject of the war, it could hardly be expected that much could be effected, yet he felt it his duty to allude to the subject, in the hope that, if possible, something might be done in reference to so im portant a subject. The grand jury then retired. MARLBOROUGLI-STREET-( THIS DAY). MATRIMONIAL DIFFERENTES.—Thoinas Hunt, a clerk residing at No. 1, Vickerago-terrace, Greenwich, was charged before Mr. Bingham, with creating a disturbance at the house of Mp,Ldward Pierpoint, surgeon, 23, Little Pulteney-street. . . . It appeared from the evidence, that in consequence of some matrimonial differences existing between defendant and his wife, the latter had taken up her abode at the residence of the complainant, who was her brother-in-law, and that on Sunday night, between ten and eleven o'clock, defendant entered complainant's surgery, and said he came there with the intention of stopping as long as his wife remained. Complainant told him he would not have him there, and desired him to leave the place. Defendant then stood up in a menacing attitude, and complainant immediately closed with him to push him out. Defendant resisted, and took up the tongs and aimed a blow at him, but his wife stopped in, and prevented its taking any effect, and he then threw them at him (complainant). Defendant still persisted in remaining, and as he would not leave a policeman was sent for, and he was given in charge. Defendant admitted that complainant's statement was mainly correct, but denied the attempt to strike com• plainant with the tongs, and ho exceedingly regretted what had occurred. _ _ Mr. Bingham said defendant had no right to enforce his matrimonial rites, as a husband, in another person's house, where his wife had sought protection, unless she was really detained against her will. He (Mr. Bingham) after that explanation, said he thought the justice of the case would be met by defendant enterin: into his own recoguizances of 50/. to keep the peace for the next three months. WOOLLEN TRADE. ( From the Leeds Mercury of Saturday.) LEEDS, Nov. 24.—We have no change to report in the woollen trade since our last notice. The markets have been of A quiet character this week. There was an indifferent attendance of merchants in the Cloth. halls, both on Saturday and on Thursday ; a fiat feeling ruled in the market, and only a limited business was done. At this season of the year there is seldom a very active business doing in the woollen trade. There is ♦ery little disposition to increase stocks when the year is drawing to a close. BRADFORD, Thursday.— Wool—The demand is as dull as it can be ; and things are daily getting worse. Yarns — There have been several 'failures during the week, we regret to say ; and to save themselves from a similar doom, spinners are still obliged further to curtail pro ductions, limited as it, has long been. P ieces. —Except for heavy winter goods, there is no regular business, and the prices even in this department are of a ruinous cha racter. Our condition is very gloomy. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.)

He had left England in the early part of September with the hope of recruiting his strength, already much impaired by long-continued and incessant public exertions. After visiting Denmark, he proceeded by way of Gotthenbnrgh to Stockholm, where he arrived on the Ist of October ; he was immediately afterwards attacked by cholerine, succeeded by a typhoid fever. From this severe illness he recovered in about ten days ; but though reduced to a very enfeebled condition he still sought anxiously to turn the remainder of the few days which he had determined to pass in Stockholm to the advantage of the cause which he had so much at heart. He thought it of the highest importance that Sweden should join her forces to those of the Western Powers, and should unite herself - with them in taking measures for the reconstruc tion of Poland. He had convinced himself by conver sations with persons of all ranks and classes in Sweden that the people or that country wera most decidedly . hostile to Russia, and that they would willingly second their Government in an energetic course of policy. Lord Dudley Stuart's position as au English Member of Parlia ment, his European reputation as the champion of the Polish cause, and his connection by marriage with the family of Bonaparte, were sufficient to insure that his opinions would at least be listened to with attention at the Swedish Court. He had a long audience of the King, which was followed by a second at his Majesty's desire ; Lord Dudley had also an audience of the Crown Prince, for whose generous and manly character he expressed much admiration ; and on the very day of his last attack he had audience of the King's , second son, Prince Oscar, being at the time so weak as to render it necessary that he should be carried up and down the stairs of the palace. These exertions, combined with others of a similar oharacter, and with laborious attention to an extensive correspondence, occasioned the formation of water in the cellular membrane of the lungs. On the 16th inst. Lord Dudley rallied a little, but on the 17th, after giving some last directions and calmly speaking of his approaching end, he tranquilly expired. He was 51 years of age at the time of his death, and was the youngest son of the first Marquis of Bute by his marriage with the third daughter of Mr. Coutts. There were two children by this marriage, Lord Dudley Stuart and the present Countess of Harrowby. The Marquis died during their infancy, and 'their education was superin tended by his widow. She was a lady of the utmost sweet ness of disposition, yet one who always acted on the highest and noblest sentiments. To her Lord Dudley was most tenderly attached, and it was to her words and example that he attributed the strong feelings of indigna tion against oppression, and compassion for misfortune, which were the ruling principles of his life. One instance may servo to show at how early an age these traits in his character were fully developed, and will illustrate that tenacity of purpose for which he was no less remarkable. Me was residing at Nice, one of the stations where, during her long pilgrimage on the Continent, overcome by her protracted and ultimately fatal illness, the Marchioness of Bute re mained for some months. Within a few miles of Nice is a prison where (perhaps it is the case still) the worst cri minals of Sardinia - were confined. It is situated in a most lovely country, and the countless travellers who pass Villa Franca have little idea of the inferno existing in their neighbourhood. Below the level of the sea there is a vast dungeon, in which the prisoners wore chained in a double row to two long iron bars that traverse the whole length of the chamber. Only once for about an hour in the day were they permitted to walk in the yard of the prison. Never at any other time, day or night, were their chains unloosened. Lord Dudley was permitted to visit this dungeon and to converse with the prisoners. He was particularly struck with the appearance of ono man whose face had no felonious expression, yet who was doubly ironed, and who was denied the indulgence of seeing the light, like the others, one hour in the clay. The man was a political prisoner. He had dared to cry " Viva la constituzione," and for that offence was condemned for life to this living tomb. Lord Dudley (then a very young man) immediately sought to effect some mitigation of his sufferings. Professing that he could not endure the stench of the dungeon he requested permission to converse with the prisoner in the open air. The favour was granted, and by paying a daily visit to Villa Franca Lord Dudley secured a few minutes of sunshine and fresh air to the captive. Bat he was suffering from a tumour in the throat, and au English surgeon brought by Lord Dudley declared that the man must die unless an operation were performed. It was contrary to the regulations that this should be undertaken by any but the surgeon of the prison, who, as the prisoner declared, had already forced a knife into his neck with no other effect than that of mak ing him worse. An opportunity was therefore seized when the officials were not on the watch, and the tumour was successfully opened by the Englishman, to the great indignation of the governor : his prisoner was refused any further indulgence, but his life was saved. This, however, was not enough for Lord Dudley Stuart ; he determined to effect the man's liberation. He had heard of a certain lawyer who was supposed capable, by some mysterious means, of effecting even a task so hopeless as the liberation of a political prisdner in Sardinia. The lawyer wasi consulted, but demanded a hundred ducats before he would undertake the busi ness. Some of Lord Dudley's friends, who had heard of the circumstance, derided what they considered so foolish and quixotic a scheme. Lord Dudley, however, did not think the price too milch, even for the chance of delivering a fellow creature from such bondage. He paid the money, asking (according to the contract) no question as to its application. Some months after, whilst at Naples, Lord Dudley was surprised by a man rushing into his room, and throwing himself at his feet. It was the prisoner of Villa Franca. A free pardon had been forwarded to the governor. Lord Dudley's public career is so well known that it is unnecessary for us, to dwell upon it at length. He was early impressed with admiration for the spirited character and the popular career of his maternal uncle, Sir Francis - Burdett. He was taught, too, by her whom he so much reverenced, to look on a seat in the House of Commons'as the noblest position for an English gentleman. He stood for Arundel, on liberal principles, in 1830, and was re turned, after a severe contest. His first speech in Parlia ment was made in favour of the Reform Bill, and it was held to bo eminently successful. Shortly after this period, Prince Adam CZartoryski visited England, and the member for Arundel was greatly interested by the account which that distinguished statesman (whom he used to character ise as " the most virtuous of patriots") gave of the oppres sion exercised by the Emperor Nicholas in Poland, which had driven the Poles to revolt. Soon, too, the wreck of the Polish army, refused a shelter by the German Powers, then, as now, under the domination of Russia, was driven to seek a shelter in France, England, or America. Lord Dudley was deeply interested by the fate of these brave men, and was mainly instrumental in obtaining from the Parliament a vote of 10,0001. for their relief. He now attentively studied the Polish question, and formed the deliberate conviction that the aggressive spirit of Russia could be effectually quelled by the restoration of Poland only. Thus his patriotism, as well as his innate hatred of oppression, and sympathy for misfortune, led him to embrace the Polish cause. And it was characteristic of him that, though cautious and deliberate in decision, he never, when a course of action had been once adopted, re laxed for an instant in its pursuit while a chance of success remained. Earls in his career Lord Dudley Stuart was associated with Cutler Fergusson, Thomas Campbell the poet, Wentworth Beaumont, and many other influential men in the cause which he espoused. But the hand of death removed the most eminent; the zeal of others grew cold ; and Lord Dudley was left to fight the battle of a great nation in the only arena where the combat could still be carried on, the English House of Commons, almost alone. The wants of the exiles, too, increased rather than diminished ; the Government grant making no provision for such new victims of Russian, Austrian, or Prussian jealousnas were constantly arriving, and left to starve in our streets. But Lord Dudley was indefatigable in soliciting subscriptions, and when these could no longer be obtained, in replenishing the exhausted funds of tho Polish Association by means of public enter tainments. The labour attending these benevolent exer tions was incredible ; yet it was undertaken in addition to a most sedulous attendance in Parliament, a conscien tious discharge of the onerous duties attending the repre sentation of the largest borough in England, and incessant employment of the pen in support of the Polish cause. If, as we believe, the sketch we have given of Lord Dudley Stuart's character and career is accurate, there are few oven of his political opponents who will not agree with us in thinking that England has lost in him one of whom she may justly be proud, and whom she can ill spare. Born to rank and fortune, having no personal object to ob tain (for overtures of office he had more than once rejected, declaring that the only appointment he sh ould accept would be that of ambassador at the Court of Warsaw), pas sionately fond of field sport and everY t nl ha a n nly th e e xe u rn sual caressed by society, he ad far more idleness. But he number of reasons for leading a life of valued the advantages he enjoyed merelayndasinstrume-ots good objects to be employed in furthering the gre at which he bad at heart.

He represented for many years the borough of Marylebone, but his constituents were the oppressed of all nations, and he may be called the cos fnopolitan member of the House of Commons.

His persevering participation in the fate of unhappy Poland, and his unthing efforts in behalf of the refugees from that devoted country, wrested admi ration even from his opponents. No one doubted the goodness and sincerity of his heart. Kind, amiable, and meek, he was one of the most accessible mem bers of the British Legislature. WhateVer grievance came under his notice, whatever abuses he heard of, it only required to see Lord Dudley Stuart, or to write to him, and he at once investigated the matter and sought redress. Unsparing in his censure of what he considered au act of injustice, within and without Parliament, and respected for his conscientious speaking and voting, his efforts in behalf of sufferiug .humanity could not pass unheeded. Free from the trammels of office, to which he never aspired, he frankly and unceremoniously interrogated Ministers of the Crown, whether 'Whigs, Tories,-Conser vatives, or of any shade of politics, on questions affecting the liberty of conscience. Whilst the people, not only of England, but also those of foreign countries, have to. deplore the bereavement of one of the most popular of noblemen—aristocratic by birth, but soberly democratic in his policy —we, as Jews , have also sustained a loss in his death, as he not only was an unshrinking pleader for the Jews in Parliament, but took a deep interest in our educational and charitable ins stitutions. Remembering his affability on the last occa sion when he attended the anniversary dinner of the Jews, Free School, we cannot resist using a Rabbinical lamenta tion, " Woe for those who are lost and cannot be found again !' Among the numerous philanthropists which this country can boast of, we know of none who will replace Lord Dudley Stuart. LORD DUDLEY STUART. By the grave's coldness palsied is the hand Of whose bends to drop into its loose And humid soil the last memorial flower. While others sing victorious arms, and wounds Stauncht by the pennon, graspt until the grasp Of Death was stronger, what for me remains But languid sorrow and this verse inert? Yet thine too, Dudley, thine was warfare, thine Battle throughout not one brief day alone ' • 'Twas lifelong, more than lifelong ; still it burns In mightier hosts than ever Xerxes led, Or Gengis, or that prouder one who warred Against the Elements, and Truth, and God. Dudley ! what he undid thou wouldst restore. 0 Scandinavia! thou hast borne erewhere The bravest of mankind, and mourn'd the best Of all the kings that ever ruled on earth : His was pure faith, and valour as unstained. Thus Gcd, whom weak men say they glorify, By him vas glorified. In foren land He fell ; in foren land thou fallest too ; He for his country, thou for all who live. Nov. 22. WALTER SAVAGE LANDOE. THE POSITION OF THE ALLIES IN T_HE CRIMEA. The Moniteur de l'Arinee contains the following remarks on the position of the Allied forces in the Crimea : "Many persons feel greatapprehension at seeing 80,000 French and English collected on a space of 240 square kilometres, having on two of their sides a town which they are besieging, and an armed enemy of nearly their own amount, but whose attacks have, however, been always re pulsed with the most brilliant success; the other sides of that large surface being besides washed by the sea, where our fleets are altogether predominant. These persons fear that the enemy, hitherto constantly beaten, weakened morally as well as physically by the great losses which they have sustained, finding difficulty in receiving pro visions as well as camping materials, and having behind them a country not easy of access, the populationof which is not friendly to them, nay, in the end, triumph over our brave soldiers, as yet constantly victorious, and in want - of nothing calculated to promote the material comfort of the troops. To such tremblers we would reply that there is no reason to fear that the conquerors should become the conquered ; and that it is sufficient to call to mind with what vigour, one against four, they triumphed at Inkerman, and to consider the strength of the positions which they occupy on the heights where they are entrenched, to be perfectly at ease on that point. Besides, these 80,000 men are begin ning to see the first battalions arriving of the 40,000 men who are to reinforce them ; and they will soon, without doubt, be in a condition, should they be an noyed by the proximity of the troops of General Dan nenburg, to take the necessary measures to get rid of them ; whilst the corps charged with the attack of Se bastopol will continue its work of courageous perse verance, of success which is mathematically certain. There is no cause, eonsequently, for apprehension. Our troops are well supplied, well clothed, and well looked after ; their sanitary state is excellent, and the sea is always open to bring reinforcements and stores, and to carry away the sick . ' and the prisoners. In fine, France is great ; the Emperor, certain of the co-opera tion of every patriotic heart, watches carefully over the great interests entrusted to his care. The army in the East is collided to valiant c"mmanders. The national glory consequently, far from being compromised, will re main unstained, and tho success of this laborious cam paign is infallibly ensured within a space of time which cannot be distant." GENERAL COUNT ORLOFF. A letter from Annecy state., that the Russian General Count Orloff stopped at the Hotel de Geneve on the 16th, on his way from Switzerland, and that he left the next morning for Turin, passing throgk Tho visit of the Char's aide-de-camp to Switzer land Italy, at the present moment, when all the Russian nobility have orders to return to their own country, gives rise to many conjectures. When Count Orloff was sent on a mission to Vienna and Ber lin, the Prussian and German journals stated that he possessed the entire confidence of his master. Having failed in that mission, the COurt has either fallen into disgrace, or is going to Italy on some new diplomatic intrigue. THE FRENCH EXPEDITION TO THE DANUBIAN PROVINCES. The following is from a letter received from Paris this morning :—" The French expedition to the Danubian pro vinces, noticed on Friday evening last, is, I am assured, less with the view of testing the sincerity of Austria than of exercising a slight pressure on Omer Pacha, who has exhi• bited for some time past a certain inertness. I have seen letters from Bucharest, proceedingfrom an excellent source which allude to the unwillingness of that commander to enter on a camgaign in Bessarabia until next spring. That disposition on the part of a man who has hitherto rendered such good services has occasioned some surprise. The Emperor's letter shows what the intentions are with re spect to that particular point, and Omar Pasha will, per haps, have no other alternative than to advance. The officer who is expected to take the command of the two divisions in question is General Baraguay d'Hilliers, who may find the rather impetuous qualities which un fitted him fur a diplomatic post at Constantinople more useful as a military chief in Moldavia or Bessarabia. ADMIRATION OF THE FRENOR ll' BRITISH .B.RAVERY. It would be difficult (say s a Paris letter) to g ive a just idea of the admi ra ti on excited on all hands, and among all classes of the people of Paris, by the heroin conduct of the English at the battle of the sth ; and, when la, ding them, they in some m easure seem to forget the gallantry t f their own soldiers in their en. thusiastic praise of their A llies. I say " among all classes," because one paltry and selfish faction, who would, if it dared, express its affliction at e to the unwilling silence. It is but jus t to say that none are louder in their praise than the Republicans, and none tac=o eager to do justice to the fine qualities of the British troops than those who were, nntil lie believed against us. The Oharivari itself only by an imosit y a contributes to swell th general enthasiasm and the B r itish soldier, quite as o often as the French, ' figures in the foreground as the leading personage in its daily sketches. The Pltare de la Manche says the entire Baltic squa• dron ' which was to winter at Cherbour g , i s t o procee d to Toulon, with the exception of the Austerlitz, which repairs. These splendid vess e l s are t o sa il a t a otice for the Mediterr anean , on as i mpor t an t m re o q m ui e r n e t s ,s n mission. Oa their return, some of them are to be converted into screw ships fcr next year's operations in the Baltic. The Department for War will remote this week from the temporary office (First Lord of the Treasury's, Downing-street) to Peinbroke-house, Whitehall, which has recently been fitted up by the O ffi ce of Pub lic Works for the o ccu p a ti on of the Duke of Newcastle and the officers of his department. - MEDALS OF TIIF, ROYAL SOCIRCY.—The annual me. dais for 1854 • haye been awarded as follows :—Copley Medal, to Johannes Muller, of Berlin.
