_ , ± .\1 A 11 K MMEROI.I.I. TNT ,',L iG_3 IV E. CITY, Two oviqoax. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 7,000 bales, including 1,500 taken for export. The market was quiet and prices steady. Railway Shares were very firm. The number of ships arrived yesterday in the Thames from abroad was 20, and from Ireland 1, besides two colliers. The weekly return of the Bank of England, made up to the 28th ult., has rather disappointed some who were predicting a much larger increase in the precious metals, but there is good reason to be satisfied, as a considerable amount of gold yet re mains to be paid in. The Government account is by no means as high as could be wished at this period, and with such heavy liabilities impending. The discounts and loans were slightly reduced. Compared with the previous week, the changes were as follows : Active circulation Increase Bullion £20,935,885 64,365 13,581,426 175,448 3,132,547 6.713 1,905.513 12,026 11,441,511 261.356 1,130,644 15,638 10,960,762 152,511 14,556,912 185,551 6,086,425 Increase.

Haggard and Pixley not yet to have been sent into the Bank of England. The specie per Atrato from Mexico, &c., is to be deli vered to the consignees to-morrow. The 294,0001. received from Madras and Calcutta per steamer Candia, is gold in bars, and nearly all consigned to the Honourable East India Company. The foreign exchanges were firm yesterday after- noon. The amount of gold shipped direct from London during the week to last Thursday was 3,882 ounces, and of silver 270,600 ounces, all to the Continent. It is feared that the sailing ship Swarthmore, which has been on her voyage home from Mel bourne since June 17, has met with some disaster. Her gold freight is 252,0001., and insurances up to 40 per cent. have been done on her at Lloyd's. The Will Watch, which left Melbourne on the 20th June, has also arrived, but it is not yet known whether she brings gold. Accounts of the 2d inst. from Vienna state that the whole town of Sebastopol was in ruins on the 25th ultimo, and that the combined fleet had forced the port, and found the harbour floating with human bodies. Since the bombardment com menced the women and children had been prohi bited from fetching water outside the town, and great distress in consequence existed. Admiral Korniloff was killed in the cemetery which lie bad fortified, and which the English carried by assault. Prince Menschikoff having threatened to burn Sebastopol in ease of its fall, General Canrobert, it is stated, had declared that in such case, according to custom, no quarter would be given to the besieged. The port of Eupatoria, which the Allies evacuated one day in presence of a large force of Cossacks was occupied by the former on the following day, with-' out any conflict. The Funds are rather dull this morning, but the quotations are supported. The business doing is almost entirely for present transfer. Consols have been 941 4 for transfer, and 941 ;. for account.

Surp rise is still expressed that no " Fir man" has yet appeared. Peruvian 4 per Cents. have been dul ii at 70. A species of cajolery is still sought to be e xercised by parties in pay of the re public, as well as by holders of the domestic debt, to get the bona fide foreign creditors to sanction the quotation a f the former securities, but we opine that no su , 3h suicidal policy will be adopted.

THE NEWCASTLE FIRES. GATE MEAD, Nov. I.—The inquest held here before Mr. J. M. Favell, coroner, closed this day. The. jury, after being absent nearly two hours, brought in the : Following verdict :—" We are ef opinion that the death c, f Thomas Scott and others was occasioned i y the accidental explosion of a quantity of nitrate of soda and sulphur contained in a warehouse in Hillgate, commonly known fts Bertram's warehou , e. The immediate cause of the e 7 plosion was a fire (the origin of which, owing to conflicting evidence, we have not been able to discover, althoug h there would appear to hrve been a want of caution displayed), which broke out in the adjoining worsted . mill belonging to "Me,-rs.

COVERT OF COAL AND IRON MINES.--LISBON, 4 29 .—An English gentleman of the name of Croft , who ha. been long resident in this country, whilst en gaged ii lookin,g out fora suitable tract of land to be planted with the Purgueir a tree, from the nut of which oil is ext ratted, has accidentally discovered a large coal field o f several square miles, as well as another of equal extent r ichly impregnated with iron, between Batalba and Leiria,at a, distance of about 70 miles from this city, and has already secured from the Government the exclu sive right of exploring both. B ,th the coal and iron are of th e best quality, are very abundant, and come up close to the surface. The Court of Adinirylty have co mle -nned the Rin:ian ve.si Johan Christophe, seized in t he port of Great la imsby with simulated papers as a Crown droit, to be wful prize, and she iz ordered to be sol d forthwith for the benefit of her captors. • 25 St. 20 St. 4/ 2s 20 t. ;t1 66 51, 10 5 20 20 1( 0 -20 5 5 SHARE MARKETS.

(From the Mining Journal of this day.) MINES.-The Share Market has been quiet this week, and prices have, in many instances, given way. South Tamars, although the mine looks as well as ever, have re ceded to 81., 81. 10s.; Sortridge Consols, 3/. 15s. to 41. ; North R.,bert, 27/. to 29/. ; Devon Great Consols, 3851. to 3901. ,-' Buller, 6701. ; North Basset, 181. 15s. to 191. 15 s . ; Mary Ann, 361. 10s. to 371. 10s. ; East Fron,goch, 17s. 6d. to 11. Clijah and Wentworth have been done at 161., and in good demand ; the mine, we hear, has very greatly improved. Trefusis, Si. t o 61. ; Alfred Consols 171. 10s. to 181. 10s. ; South F rances , 2551. t o 2601. In Lydford Consols a large business has been done, at 7s. 6d to 108. ; the shaft is reported as sinking in a line lode, and in about a month it is expected the shoot of ore which oas seen in the bottom of the adit will be met with.

Mines which have sold Ore.-Carbona, Clara, Clijah and Wentworth, Cubert, Cwtn Darren, Darren, Great Cowarch, Great Hewas, Great Wheal Alfred, Great Wheal Baddern, Great Wheal Vor, Helvellyn, Lydford Consols, Molland, North To wy, North Wheal Robert, North Wheal Trelawny, Orsedd, Perran Wheal George, Polgear, Rorrington, Sithney Wheal Buller, Sortridge Consols, South Wheal Yeo land, Trannack Consols, Trebarvah, Tyn-y-Berth, West Crinnis, West Polberro, West Wheal Frances, Wheal Crebor, Wheal Trefusis, Wheal Zion, Yooland Console, and Tassan. The meetings which were held at Worcester and Epsom were partial failures. Few people assisted at their celebration; even the most inveterate turfites seemed weary and indiff eren t t o th e spor t. The incidents which marked the proceedings at Worcester were scarcely worth record. The defeat of Rataplan for the Handicap was mulch talked about at the time, and some persons even believed that he was not "intended," because, for sooth, Mr. T. Parr had another horse called Mortimer in the race. Jack Lemming, however, when in the vein, can race a bit, and his success was, considering his very lenient impost, a matter of no surprise. The Flying Stakes looked on paper a certainty for Falcon, but in order to make security doubly secure Mr. Wood pur chased Kennyside Hero in the morning, lest that horse should prove a troublesome opuonent. In the evening Kennyside Hero was sold to Mr. J. Dawson, in whose stable at Ilsley he will be for the future located. Need wood is likely to have a fair share of the " good things" (..f the Steeplechase season. He jumped his fences in capital style, and won with consummate ease. He looked too in the first bloom of health and condition, and his appearance did great credit to the training skill of Ben Laud. The owner of Thirkleby was not, a little chagrined at the mishap which befell his hone, and stoutly asserted that had no accident occurred he could have won. I don't believe it. Spring was backed at one time as if he were really " meant." Whether he was or not is beyond my ability to dete rm i ne. Ch ar l ey Boyce did goo d serv i c e with Cervus, and seemed ever ready to assist the winner. In Foreign Mines, the market has this week been firm. MARKET NE 14 7 8-(T HIS DAY.) Steeplechases were this year wisely discontinued at Epsom, and the probability exists that the Autumn Meeting will be either brou g ht forward, or altogether abandoned. At p resent the romoters of it find it any thing but a paying speculation. The railway company, however, make a "good thing" of it. More extortionate and shameful fares were never charged. Think of seven and-sixpence for the privilege of riding fourteen miles and back again in dirty third-class carriages ! They who returned by the train which left Epsom at five o'clock suffered intolerable annoyance. Although charged first-class express fare, the train stopped at every little station on the line, and the supply of first-class carriages was purposely inadequate. Gentlemen were stowed away 1117 e sheep in open carriages, and were crowded and squeezed by the indiscriminate admittance of labourers and their implements from Sydenhatn. Had space enough been afforded perhaps the grumbling would not have been very violent ; but high and low were so inconvenienced that they uttered complaints in no measured language. The Germans are certainly well versed in turf tactics. The running of Thir and the performance of Scherz were at least suspicious. Should the doubts which I enter tain on the subject be confirmed, I shall not F cru pie to expose the proceedings connected with these. horses. One thing is evident : certain parties betted against Scherz as if he were dead, and Thir for the Bedding ton Stakes was, as a tout significantly observed, a stiff 'on. I hope, however, to be soon in possession of informa tion mpre germain to the matter. The sport was sug gestive of no further comment. The Liverpool Autumn Meeting will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday next. The prospect of sport is most cheering, but it may be delusive. I shall re serve my remarks on the events appointed for decision until Monday. Nov. 4. A FRESH MAN. COVENT GARDEN.

HILL V. STEVENS. Mr. Collier applied for a rule to show cause why a new trial should not be had in this case, on the ground that the verdict for the plaintiff was against evidence. It was an action for libel brought by a discharged ser vant against her former mistress, and the libel, which accused the plaintiff of theft, was contained in a letter addressed to a-third party, and signed " C. E. Stevens" —the defendant's name being Charlotte Stevens. At the trial the plaintiff herself declared the letter to be in the defendant's handwriting ; but the defendant's son, eharles Edward Stevens, was called for the defence, and he admitted that in a fit of passion he wrote the letter complained of in the declaration. Notwithstanding that, however, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff ; damages, 201. Lord Campbell—Was that the whole of the evidence ? Mr. Collier—Yes, my lord, the whole of it.

(From the Press of this day.) When Mr. Disraeli, before the prorogation of Parlia ment, s 2._ , L:ested the expediency of au autumn session, it was not, we apprehend, from any wish to unduly mag nify the influence of the Legislature, but from an idea that circumstances might arise, in the peculiar state of affairs, which the Government might naturally wish to lay before Parliament for advice or decision. The Queen's Ministers in time of war have large powers committed to them. It is for them to conduct negotiations, to conclude treaties, to prescribe rules and principles of warfare by the issue of orders in council, and to direct as they please the move ments of our fleets and armies. No powers analogous to these are called into requisition when the country is at peace. We do not say that they are larger than the public good requires, but chat they may not be abu-ed by a weak or corrupt Administration, it is very desir able that they should, more e•pecially'at the commence ment of a great war, be exercised under the immediate supervision of Parliament. Why should the Ministry of Lord Aberdeen be re luctant to meet Parliament at this juncture ? We can imagine that a Government, confident in the sincerity of its intentions and the wisdom of its policy, would be anxious, in a time of difficulty like the present, to meet the representatives of the country, if only to receive their support, and obtain from them such an expression si the national will as would invigorate our defenders, and show our enemy how vain was the hope he had founded on our assumed instability and desire of peace. We have had two autumn sessions within the last seven years ; the first to mitigate the evils of scarcity in Ireland, the second to determine whether Lord Derby's Government had a majority in the House of Commons. It will hardly be pretended that, in either case, was there more need for the action of the Legislature than now exists. 'l'l;e public are not only anxious, but deeply dissatis fied on many points. They cannot understand the delay in the invasion of the Crimea so long after it was almost officially announced —the inactivity of our fleets, rendered more remarkable by the sneers cast on their commanders from Ministerial sources—tie great advantages conceded, contrary to common sense and all former usage, to neutral commerce—the scandalous inefficiency of our commissariat arrangements for the Crimea army—the unaccountable delay in the publi cation of intelligence, after the solemn promise of the Duke of Newcastle that whatever was received by the Government should forthwith be made known—the entire absence of any system of postal communication with the theatre of war. Why should Government shrink from meeting inquiry on all these points ? It is not the least-important function of Parliament to clear up misconceptions onMinisterialconduct, or when suspicions are well-grounded to secure the redress of abuses by their exposure. How long, but for the interference f Parliament, might it have remained a doubtful ques ion whether Mr. Lawley, while possessed of all the secrets of the Exchequer, had really speculated in the 'nods ? How long might the Prince C , msort have been exposed to the brutal calumny but for the Parliamentary explanations which the unreasoning clamour against him called forth It is no secret that certain members of the Ministry affect to view Parliament as an obstructive and antiquated machinery which might advantageously be dispensed with altogether. It is the Peelite section of the Cabinet which especially hates, and with reason, the inquisitive spirit of Parliament ; and we acquit the Whigs of other blame than of meanly succumbing to heir colleagues beaureaucratic horror of publicity, and uorbid antipathy to free debate. Nor are these the only topics requiring Parliamentary onsideration. The Ministry, in commencing the war, numenced also a series of grand experiments. From tf.eir novelty alone they required watching, and it is .'ery necessary that the country should now receive a one information on their practical effect. We should ike to know how far Mr. Gladstone's new taxes have answered his expectations, and whether the receipts ,f the revenue are equal, as he anticipated they would be, to the expenditure of the war. His manage nent of the Exchequer has not inspired much confidence in his sagacity. It will be great news to hear that his 4chemes have proved successful, and that our finances under his care are in a flourishing state. If this be ,o, how cruel of him to delay the cheering announce nent ; but if the contrary be the case, the public rill have to pay dearly for postponing till the last moment the necessity for repai ing his errors. Every one is astonished and indignant at observing be effect of the novel principle of admitting without let ,r hindrance the produce of our enemy. The facts of the :as© are patent. Russia finds in England a better market for her produce than ever she found before. Her credit , s upheld by our payments. Her great landowners, en iched by ouriwealth, scoff at the notion of our hostility, ►nd finding their prosperity enhanced by war, afford it heir cordial support. Her Government, through the :ontinued imports of our gold, is enabled to keep its caper —notwithstanding enormous fresh issues—at par ; Lnd thus the war, which we imagined would so im pair the fortunes of her nobles and cripple her esources as to compel her to sue for peace, only ,ours a flood of prosperity over the face of the and, and raises her credit higher than it has giver stood before. It is literally British capital .vhich feeds and clothes her troops, and supplies her with the very sinews of war. We dwell on these facts, is they are admitted by the Ministerial prints, and as hey urgently demand —more, perhaps, than any other single subject—the attention of Parliament. Is it to be .uppe , ed that had the operation of this order in Council ,eert foreseen at the time when it was promulgated it would have been allowed to pass sub sileittio by the Le ;islature ? Yet the policy is defended, while its evil re• tilts are admitted. Commercial reasons are still pleaded in its justification, and the question has arrived at that point when we have to choose between resistance to the economic projects of the Coalition, and sub nission to the will of the Emperor Nicholas. It is vain to think of subduing him by wasting the extremities of his empire while we nourish its heart, or while we cling to the.ignoble principle that cur trade is more precious than our blood, and that the 'lves of our brave fellows by sea and land are nothing in comparison with hemp and tallow. We can strike at the power of Russia only through the material interests of her people. The notion that the power of Russia can be broken in a single campaign is at an end. There has been a foolish lisposition amongst us to underrate her resources, and especially her power of resistance. From the commence- ment of hostilities the Ministerial press has laboured inces santly to disguise the real character of the contest. To lc, ep our people in good humour they have been flattered with the idea of rapid and easy victory. Our boasting, cre lulity, and abuse have been carried so far as to make us appear ridiculotis in the eyes of Europe. It is not by sdch means that we can hope to conquer our enemy. We must learn to take a juster measure of his strength AA of our own, and aim not only at conquering his armies in the field, but at the destruction, by every deans at our command, of the industrial prosperity which continually renews them, and which is the real secret of Russia's power and pride. The war only commenced in reality after our Parlia ment had been prorogued. In the interval the whole aspect of affairs has changed. Sensible persons, slow to credit that we were really on the brink of a tremen ?ous contest, now shake their heads when peace is men tioned, and express their fears that we are at the com mencement of a great European war. It is most desi rable that Parliament should meet that the country may more clearly understand its conditions and prospects. But Lord Aberdeen has no taste for free discussion, and, in mite of the incalculable mischief his secret in triguing has occasioned, he still clings to the belief that he can bes' administer the affairs of the empire in his closet, and that the true art of statesmanship is to ex clude a nation from taking part in the management of its own concerns. GENERAL CANROBERT'S ADDRESS TO THE FRENCH TROOPS. The following is the order of the day addressed to the army of the East by General Canrobert, on assuming the command-in-ehief of the French troops. It is dated from the head-quarters of Tchernaya, Sept. 26 : " Soldiers of the army of the East, my comrades— The melancholy circumstances under which has fallen upon me the high honour of being your commander-in chief would increase the weight of that task, if the co operation of all were not assured to me in the name of the country and of the Emperor. Penetrated as I am with the grandeur of the historical mission which we accomplish on this distant land, you will each of you bring to it, each within your sphere, and with the most absolute devoted ness, that active part which is indispensable to enable me to bring it to a successful termination. A. few days more of sufferings and of trials, and you will have caused to fall at your feet the threatening bulwark of the vast empire which only a little time age braved Europe. The successes which you have already gained are the gua rantees for those which await you but do not forget that the intrepid marshal who was our General-in-Chief prepared them by kis perseverance in organising the great operation which we execute, and by the brilliant victory of the Alma.

SCHOMIERG. Mr. Cowling applied to the court for a rule to show cause why a new trial should not be had in this case, on the ground of misdirection. The plaintiff was a ship owner, and the defendant the emigration officer at Liver pool ; and the action was brought to recover damages, because the defendant had refused to certify a ship under the last Passenger Act, the 15th and 16th Vic., chap. 44. It would appear that the plaintiff was the owner of an Australian emigration ship, called the Millines, and the defendant refused to pass her for her last voyage, because she was too deep in the water, her draught be ing 16 feet 6 incites, whereas on her former voyage she had come safe home, while drawing 18 feet 6 inches. All the provisions of the Passenger Act had been com plied with, but under the 16th section the defendant &aimed to be the sole judge of whether the vessel was nt n h d e i d o t n h o e t r h r e a s n t d w , it t h he hi i ! l a a i n t t a i f con- butll, hom he was to appoint under the ga t w t crin grant n deep e t t e d . th e dh p t e ehi Surveyors, t r u t hr t u ev b oyeety.wqo certificate.t l er rse satisfied h.e had no alternative but to o , The defendant had pleaded not guilty, by, statute, and at th e tr i a l, un d e r the direction of the judge, the jury found a verdict in his favour.. Lord Campbell—Do you mean to say, Mr. Cowling, that there may be an appeal in every case against the bona fide judgment of the emigration officers ? Mr. Cowling—Not in every case; but hero we say he has exceeded hi-; jurisdiction, because he has nothing to do with the requirements of the 16th section of the act, which relates to the seaworthiness of the ship, and vests the authority in the surveyors, who had passed the ship in this instance. Lord CampbellLWas any reas o n assigned why the vessel was too d eep ? Mr. Cowli ng —N o, my lord, except that a vessel called the A.Z., drawi ng 16 feet, had just come horns with her house on deck was h e d away. Lord Ca m pb e ll o b served that the point was o f t oo much import ance to the public to be hastily dispo sed of. Ilinigration officers must be protected in the bona fide discharge of th e r dut i es ; b ut i t m ight happen that he had no authority under the 16th section of the act. However, the court would take time to consider the matter, and give its decision on a future day. EXCHEQU - ER. RIPICHIA7SON T. SIDNEY. Mr. Serjeant Shee applied to the court for a rule to show cause why a new trial should not be had in this case, on th e ground that the judge ought to h ave di rected the jury that there was evidence of a set-off . suffi cient to answer the pl a i nt iff' s c l a i m. The plaintiff was an engineer, and the defendant Sir Robert Sidney, of Bourn bridge-lodge, Berks and the former sought to re cover from the latter 25/ but the defendant ple aded a set-off und er these circumstances. It appeared that the plaintiff was t h e originator of the'f3urrey Consumers' Gas and Coke Association, and be induced the defendant to become a d irector of that society upon a promise ofin demnity t o h old him harmless from all expense and liabilities which he might incur in respect of the o ffi ce. For the p urpose of qualifying himself as a director the defendant took up twenty-five shares in the association, but still upon the understanding that they were to be the property o f t h e plaintiff who was to make good the calls. Eventually th e plaintiff brought the present action, and the defe n d ant pleaded a set-off, alleging that the expenses he had been put to as a director of thee gas company more than covered the claim, but at the trial the set-off was not allow e d b y the judge, and the j ury f oun d f or th e plaintiff. Renee the application for a new trial. The Lord Chief Baron said the court would take time to consider the motion, but would take that opportunity of intimating that if they granted a rule something might be said about the practice of accepting directorships in public companies under guarantees of indemnity. In his opinion it was exceedingly incorrect, and he was disposed to believe it to be illegal. SELO REDITCLI COUNTY COURT. (Before Mr. Serjeant Storks.) AN IMPORTANT DECISION UNDIsR THE DRAMATIC A'CITICORS AM-VINCENT V. DOUGLASS. This was an action brought to recover penalties under the Dramatic Authors' Act. The plaintiff is Miss Eliza Vincent, lessee of the Victoria Theatre, and the defend ant Mr. John Douglass, of the Royal National Standard Theatre, Shoreditch, and the present action was brought to recover the penalty of 40s. a night from defendant for having, without receiving proper authority, performed for a certain number of tights a drama by the late Thomas Egerton Willis, called Kate Wynsley, the Cottage Girl. The entire right of the drama in question had been sold to the late Mr. Osbaldeston, and had by him, with others, been demised to the plaintiff. The author had also again sold it to the defendant. To prove the right being entirely invested in the late Mr. Osbaldestos, Mrs. Robert Runner, the actress, was subpceaned to prove that the late Mr. R. Elonner, when lessee of the City of London Theatre, had paid Mr. Os baldeston for the right of having it played at that house. After hearing a long discussion, The learned Sergeant decided that the cause was one for the Superior Courts. The Court had power only to try actions for the recovery of small debts, and not where penalties were sued for. The plaintiff was thereupon nonsuited. BERLIN ART-EXHIBITION : LATEST WORK OP Kiss.— The present Berlin exhibition is considered unsatisfac tory, although all the spaces are crowded. The insigni ficant and even bad are so numerous, that the good al most loses itself at their side. Amongst the hundreds of oil paintings, not one historical piece of any worth is to be descried. The largest plastic work has been exhibited by Professor Kiss, in his atelier—St. George vanquish ing the Dragon, or the Victory of Faith over Infidelity, which, however, is another arnaznn transposed into the masculine gender. In such culossal proportions, the saint vanishes too much before the animality of the horse and dragon. There will be a plaster copy of this next year at the Universal French Exhibition, and the casting in bronze, we are told, will take place in Lon don. It will be an expensive work.--The Builder.

The Pays of --,7 yesterday morning has some useful re marks on Use private telegraphic despatches which reach us from St. Petersburg, and which, notwithstanding the evident falsehood or exaggeration of the news they con tain, prOduce, in the absence of official accounts from the allied armies in the Crimea, occasionally a certain amount of despondency. When the article of the Pays was written, the means of the writer to show how little credit was due to the Russian accounts were more limited than they would have been if the accounts pub lished yesterday in the Moniteur had been before him. The Pays says :—" A singular fact has struck the at tention of every one since the commencement of the siege of Sebastopol, or rather since the landing of the allies in the Crimea, and that is, whilst enr generals-in chief, disdaining charlatanism and boasting, send but very few reports to their government, either_written the day after a victory, or pointing out some positive results, Europe has been inundated every day with Russian despatches, direct from St. Petersburg, an d the official source of which was a secret to ne one. This search after publicity on the part of the Czar caused the more surprise es hitherto all his military operations have been kept per fectly secret. It is well known that mystery is one of the main springs of the policy of illusion and falsehood of the Russian Government. This mystery allows it to act at will hontetom Europe imagina theoftion a its people, m eoipjeleer,as and desolations and at thesamet of imeto idits apparent grandeur. The best-informed writers have never been able to arrive at the truth as to the loss in men,and money which its conquests have cost it. Its whole history is a piece of stage acting, where the parts are distributed beforehand for the greatest glory of the Russian flag, and which is carefully kept from the ex amination of the foreign press, for fear of seeing itself at every moment convicted of falsehood and bad faith. It was, therefore, very extraordinary that on the occasion of the present war, the Cabinet of St. Petersburg should suddenly depart from all its tradition to publish every day a bulletin from Prince Menschikoff. People now begin to understand, by comparing these bulletins with the despatches of our generals, that it was only a fresh uneasinessnr nfimd eenntti aolmanoeuvreafastnhtdeo detailedct t hz o ear d c o i snt evidently s u e r ci b u t e h n e reportse de p soo u efo b sf l in i tt c osh t m e gm i n we ana d ker , er. a na publici - di nh-chief. ec r h e Gti a eho t e ft:. Go vernment What it requires to act on public opinion are special de spatches drawn up in vague terms, which, though they may be contradicted by information from the Crimea, will at least have produced a certain emotion in the pub lic mind, particularly in Germany, and assist the diplo made intrigues which are still carried on in the Confede ration. The flagrant bad faith of this manoeuvre will strike every eye by. comparing the last despatches of Prince Mensohikoff trainsinitted from St. Petersburg with the contradictory ones which have arrived from Varna, and which come down to the 25th ult. At that date, according to all the information, the bombardment • continued without interruption; the Quarantine Fort had been silenced ; a first breach had been made, and the general a-sault was imminent. According to Prince Menschikoff, on the contrary, no advantage bad been gained by the allies, and nothing of importance had taken place. To-day the same comedy continues almost in the same terms, with a little more obscurity, and pro bably a little snore falsehood, for we receive one after another the three following despatches :—' Vienna, 31st Oct., Evening.—A Rvissian despatch from Warsaw states that the English entrenchments have been forced, their cavalry dispersed, and their cannan dismounted:— ' Vienna, let inst., St. Petersburg, 31st ult.—The last despatch, from Prince Monschikoff states that nothing important bad taken places up to the 27th. The first despatch of yesterday was almost entirely false.'— 'Berlin, Ist. A fresh despatch from iit. Petersburg, dated to-day, confirms that from Kiehmeff, nn the 29th. It adds, the en trenched camp taken from the enemy wasat Balaklava. At the same time a French battery was destroyed by fire on the 25th before Sebastopol.' Thus, according to Prince Menschikoff, Sebastopol on the 27th was still in the same state ; the allies had not obtained any advan tage, and the guns of the Quarantine and south batte ries doubtless continued to reply vigorously to our fire. On the other hand, the French bad had a battery de stroyed, and the English their- camp forced and their guns dismounted. In the despatch of the 31st, how ever, this last advantage appears to have been gained under the very walls of Sebastopol, by a very vigorous sortie of the besieged ; whilst on the following day it was only an isolated camp near Balaklava, and carried perhaps by a coup de main without importance. Tee despatch of the Ist inst., in order to reduce to nothing all these exaggerations, avows that the one of the previous day was aliniist entirely false. As to the death of Admiral Nachirnoff, the bombarder of Sinope, as to the thousands of victims which encumbered Sebastopol, the powder magazines blown up and the town in ruins, not a word is said. It is only necessary to oppose to these hypocritical recitals the following despatches from Varna. (The Pays here gives the two despatches from Varna published in the Moniteur.) The German journals are also explicit on the progress of the allied armies, and on the imminence of a definitive result. The attack of General Liprandi on the flank of the English army is even called in question by the Press of Vienna. This journal states, on the contrary, that the fire of the besieged was weak, that the two powder magazines have blown up, and that the Anglo-French guns have caused immense damage to the town. These evident successes certainly have not been obtained without painful sacrifices. It is possible that au isolated battery at Balaklava may have been carried by a coup de main of General Liprandi, and that our ships may have suffered in the attack on the forts which protect the entrance of the roadsted, but the important fact, which the Russian despatches designedly pass over in silence is that we approach the object in view, that the operations have gone on with mathematical precision, and that Sebastopol, whatever may happen, will fall into our hands. On that day Prince Menschikoff will probably write to his Sovereign that nothing important has taken place in the Crimea, and as his despatch will be known 24 hours before that of our Generals, the Russian agents will have had 24 hours more to work on German hesi tations for the benefit of Moscovite invincibility." PRINCE MENSCHIKOFF'S ACCOUNT OF THE BATTLE OF ALMA. (Front the Invalide Russe.) On the Bth (20th) September, Prince Menschikoff occupied a position on the left bank of the Alma, with 42 battalions, 16 squadrons, and 84 pieces of artillery. The centre of the order of battle was formed on the steep bank of the river opposite the village of Bourliouk, and the left wing on a hill about two versts from the sea ; the right wing was the weakest point of the position. In front of the line of battle, the village of Boor- Hock and the adjoining vineyards were occupied by sharpshooters. Behind the centre was posted a reserve of three regiments of infantry (those of ' Velhynia, Minsk, and Moscow), with two light foot batteries ; on their right, the two regiments of hus sars with two light foot batteries, and on the right of these the two regiments of hussars with two batteries of horse-artillery, and behind the right wing the regiment of chasseurs of Ouglitsch. A reserve battalion of the negituent of Minsk had been detached to occupy the village of Buloukoul, behind the left flank of the posi tion, close to the sea coast. At noon the enemy marched up( n the Alma, and resolutely attacked our position. Their right wing consisted of the French, and their left of the English ; the Turks remained in reserve behind the French troops. Both advanced with precision in , extended lines, under the protection of a thick chain of sharp-hooters armed with carbines. Ours received the enemy with a well-directed fire, and in a few instants a sharp fire of small arms was opened all along the line of battle. From the commencement of the battle, the numer ous sharpshooters of the enemy, arm e d with car bines with conical balls, made great ravages in our ranks. A great number of officers fell the first victims to that murderous weapon, and this circumstance naturally had a great influence on the further progress of the battle. After occupying the vineyards of the right bank of the Alma, the enemy's b a tt a li ons f orme d i n t o columns and crossed the river, and deployed again in lines on the opposite bank, notwithstanding the constant fire of our batteries. Prince Meeschikoff gave orders to the first line to receive the enemy at the point of • the bayonet, in order to drive him over the river again. Several times our battalions, headed by their intrepid. chiefs, charged the enemy with the bayonet, but each time, meeting with the terrible rolling . fireof the th deployed line, or b y t h e t hi c k chain of skirmishers with the carbines, th e y were r epulsed withgreat loss. he and without enemy's infantry sustained with firmness, wavering, the well-directed fire o our artillery ; the the shelter afforded by the ground, while their sharp , I down shooters kept shooting our all the artillerymen, n deployed battalions lay down, and took cover behind one of our divisions of eight guns,men and the fleet. horses were disabled. Whilst this sanguinary contest left wing notwithstanding its distance i n o g g, on in the ,centre of the position and on our the was reached by the projectiles of fromwi right g t e w h i e sea a French climbed the cliff by a path through a narrow co lumn, baying at its head African troops called sed the valley of the Alm g h eed regiments prince Zouaves, cros a near the sea shore, Under cover of the fire fro s m om t e he ships, and rapidly ravine. The appearance of these troops on our flank, P o s from o o m n our the rear,reser reserve obliged M o e f n m sc i b n i s k k off en to d Moscow, and some squadrons of hussars. The French had, however, succeeded in establishing a battery on the heights, which received our a br e i d ng alm u reserve with such a sharp fire that they were obliged • to fall back. Prince Menschikoff, then, seeing his left wing turned, and the able centre and right w i ng not being to maintain their ground in co nsequence of the enormous losses the had y . suffered, b egan to withdraw his troops towards the Katcha. In order to cover their retreat, he brought up the brigade of hussars, and this measure, and perhaps the considerable losses which the enemy had suffered, checked the pursuit. They remained on the Alma, and our troops at midnight crossed the Katoha. In this sanguinary combat both parties suffered very consi derably. We had 1,762 men killed, 2,315 wounded, and 405 re ce i ve d contus i ons. 45 s uperior and subaltern officers are among the killed, and among the wounded are Generals Kvitsinsky, Si c h e lkanoff,. Goguinoff and Kourtianoff,' and 96 superior and subaltern officers- The loss of the enemy is not known with any certainty, but, according to some reports, it even exceeded ours; but, under auy circumstances, o it is impossible that obstinate attack of their battalions , under the show er of our shot and grape, has not cost t he allie s very dear."
