LATEST NEWS. THE CRIMEA. PARIS, DEC. 1. By the Nil, which arrived at Marseilles this day, Friday, Dec. 1, we have advices from the Crimea to the 18th November. They refute the report of a battle on the 13th. The Russians made a sortie on the Right of the 13th, but were driven back with a loss of 300 killed. The French lost 40 men. The hurricane on the 14th blew down the tents of the army. The siege works, which had been continued to within 80 metres of the town, are suspended. The Russians have retired towards the Belbek. Omer Paella has received despatches from Paris, urging him to hasten his offensive movement. He only sends two regiments to the Crimea. Constantinople sends 10, 000 men as reinforce ments. The Egyptian troops continue to arrive. The Turenne and Donauwerth passed the Bos phorus on the 18th Nov., with 2,500 men on board. Most of the English transports wrecked have been burned to prevent their falling into the hands of the enemy. General Canrobert, who had been suffering for some days, is completely restored. 300 Russians have been defeated near Eupa- toria. The firo had ceased for three days. Liprandi and his troops had recrossed the Cliernaya. The Russians had sunk another of their ships. Omer Pacha will enter Moldavia at the head of 68,000 men. Achmet Pacha, with 30,000 men, will occupy Babadagh. The avant-garde, 5,000 strong, has already entered the Dobrudscha. PARIS, SATURDAY. The Moniteur publishes a despatch from Gene ral Canrobert, dated Sebastopol, the 17th. General Canrobert says that the hurricane of the 14th, in the Black Sea, was one of unusual violence, even for the present season. It wa s feared at one time that wholesale disaster would have befallen the fleets. Severe and heavy damage has been sustained. An understanding has been come to with the Admiral that only the vessels which are absolutely necessary should be retained. This trial will not affect the preparations for the siege, which will proceed as usual. The Russians made no attack since the battle of Inkerman. They appear to keep on the defensive. VIENNA, THURSDAY MORNING. On the 19th the weather became favourable, and reinforcements left Constantinople for the Crimea. The loss suffered by the combined fleets is said to be less than was supposed. The Admirals think of forcing some port where the fleets can take refuge in case of another storm. BERLIN, FRIDAY. Princo Menschikal, writing on the 22d of No vember, reports that the bombardment continued, but that the fire was slow and slack. The Russian loss and the injury done to the fortifications was inconsiderable. TRIUMPH OF THE LIBERALS IN THE DANISH ELECTIONS. COPENHAGEN, FRIDAY. The elections to-day have been very numerously attended. The electors of the city and suburbs have almost unanimously voted for Liberals. _ Count Raben, the . only Ministerial candidate for Copenhagen, had but 114 votes ; his Liberal Opponent, Professor Steen, had 307. Accounts have been received from Jutland that the Liberals have succeeded there. At Fredericia Dr. Brochner, the Liberal candidate, had 514, and the Ministerial candidate but 134 votes. SPAIN . A telegraphic despatch from Madrid of the 30th ult. announces that the new Spanish Ministry is composed as follows : Espartero O'Donnell Luzuriaga Aguirre Collado Allende Salazar lnterior. Santa Cruz DEC. I.—The Cortes have decided, by 206 to 21, that the throne of Queen Isabella and her dynasty should form the basis of the political edifice of Spain. THE WAR ON THE DANUBE. I The Presse of Vienna announces that the Russian embassy has to-day received a despatch from Ismail, dated the 15th inst. General Utschakoff, it ap pears from this, has requested Prince Gortschakoff, at Kischeneff, to send him reinforcements, the troops under his command ou the Lower Danube not buing sufficiently numerous to cope with the Turks l;4 tic forces now there. The Turks ha ve been forßessartaoi time steadily advancing towards th e n frontier, but have, of course, bee n much clog ge d in their movements by the state of the country at this unfavourable season of the year. It is reported that Omer Pacha has bee i instructed by the Allied commandersnnt' not to attempt any attack present, upon Bessarabia at ut nevertheless the fact that the Ottoman generalissimobut has continued to push his troops forward towards the Pruth ap pears to contradict this. The Ost Deutsche Post learns from Galatz that a part of the troops under Achmet vanguard eh ae— tha t is to say, the first div ision of th e the of thelltli Ott oma n army—crossed the Sereth on This troop is moving towards the B essa - rabian frontier, and i t s advanced g uard had al ready (on the 1 3 th) re ached Maxineny. Whether a' further advance will be made, in order to operate against the Russians in Bessarabia, or whether this movement has the object of pro viding the Turks with better provisions and lodging, remains to be seen. It is certain, how ever, that fresh troops are directed to Ibraila, and will arrive there very shortl y . We learn from the conclusion of this communication that a notion is prevalent among the Turkish officers that BO soon as Sebastopol has been taken, and the Russian fleet destroyed, the Allies will conclude a peace With Russia. ' The turbans are therefore anxious to have a slap at their enemies on the other side of the Pruth before the happy event referred to takes place. AUSTRIA. The Hamburg News contains a letter from Vienna, of the 27th ult., which says : "The 6th corps d'armee, now on its way to this place, will arrive here between the Ist and sth December. Or ders were despatched yesterday for the sth corps d'armce, the head-quarters of which are at gam], to set out, but for the present only a small part of that body will leave their garrisons, namely, a regiment of, infantry the 9th Battalion of Chasseurs, and a detachment of pioneers. The first is to proceed to Prague, and afterwards to Gallicia. The corps of heavy cavalry, composed of 12 regiments, commanded by Count Gallas, now in that province,is to be augmented by a regiment of cuia,ssiersr, another of dragoons. At the council of war lately Kehl here, besides the Emperor, there were present the Arch duke Albert, Baron de Hess, Count Wimpffen, Count Wratislaw, and Count Nugent. General Letang and Baron de Bourqueney had a conference yesterday with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and informed him in a very detailed manner of the armaments which the Western Powers intend sending out to the Crimea — armaments of so extensive a character that history can not give an example of anything like them. What proves that these communications were exceedingly important is that Count Buol sent in a special report concerning them the same evening. Information has been received here that the operations against Bessarabia have been suspended until after the arrival of the auxiliary troops." FRAN CE. PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. The following despatch has been received : " Marseilles, Nov. 30 (Evening).—The Nil, bringing advices from Constantinople to the 20th, has been driven by stress of weather into Antibes. It will arrive to-night or to-morrow morning. The steam frigates Enau and Candia sail to-night. Sympathising crowds attended to witness the embarkation of the troops. Three more English steamers will speedily follow. The weather has cleared up. The despatch forbidding exportation has caused a decline of 2f. 50c. per hectolitre in dry African wheat for delivery." _ _ The Emperor and Empress have quitted St Cloud and taken up their residence at the Tuilerie for the winter. We read in the Moniteur :—" By an Imperial decision signed at the Palace of Saint Cloud on the 29th ult., on the proposition of the Minister of the Marine, the provisions of the decree of the 22d ult., which confer on the General-in-Chief of the army of the East the power of naming provision ally to vacancies up to the rank of chef de batal lon inclusively, are extended to the marines and marine artillery forming part of that army, under the reserve that these nominations, like those in the land forces, are not to become definitive until they have been submitted by the Minister of the Marine to the Imperial sanction." Admiral Perceval Deschenes, accompanied by his staff, and by the Abbe Coquereau, Chaplain of the Baltic fleet, arrived in Paris yesterday from Cherbourg via Havre. General Trochu is to take the command of the brigade which was under the orders of the late General de Lourmel ; it forms part of the division of General Forey. BOURSE, FRIDAY.—CLOSING PRICES.

VIENNA, 29th.—According to a generally cre dited report, it has been decided that, for the future, there will be only in the government two directing ministers, one for Foreign Affairs, and the other for the Interior. The other ministers will subordinalte to the latter. THE HAGUE, 29th. The Second Chamber of the States has discussed the Budget of Fo reign Affairs. An amendment, which tended to a considerable reduction in diplomatic ex penses, was rejected. by 35 to 31 ; but another amendment, proposing a less reduction, was adopted by 39 to 27. It is positively stated that the question relative to the debt of the old kingdom of the Netherlands, of which Holland wished to make Luxemburg bear a part, is in a fair way of being arranged. A. letter from Madrid announces the death of Mgr. Antonio de Echanove y Zaldivar, Archbishop of Tarragona, and a man of great learning and piety, in the 88th year of his age. He was well known in France and Italy,[in both which countries ho had passed many years as a refugee. The Annales de la Propagation de la Foi says : "A letter from China informs us of the martyrdom of Joachim Ho, put to death for the faith, in the apostolical vicariate of Kouy-tch eon." The Independance of Brussels mentions a case which is shortly to come before the Paris court, and will greatly interest a portion of the English female aristocracy. A governess, who has had the confidence of some very high families in England, and could even produce gracious testimonies from. our Queen, is to answer for having by cruel treat ment caused the death of two children under her care. The Duke and Duchess of Brabant arrived at Venice on the 24th ult., and alighted at the Hotel de l'Europe, where apartments had bees. engaged for them. It is thought that their Highnesses in tend to pass the greater part of the winter at Venice. A letter from Konigsberg, 21st ult., says : " The first of the Russian caravans which bring the produce of that country, particularly hemp and flax, to this place, arrived here on Tuesday last. These caravans are composed of narrow vehicles, each drawn by one horse • five or six of them are tied together one after the other, and have only one driver. About 150 of these vehicles are ex pected to arrive here in a few days." The Prussian Moniteur of the 28th ult., says : " The Government has been officially informed of the blockade by the French and English squadrons i of the following ports :—The Islands of Aro, Uto, 1 and Aland, Nystadt, Bjorneborg, Christinestadt, Vasa, the Islands of Borsies, Little Karleby, Jacobstadt, Great Karleby, Lotto, Kalajoki, Brake stadt, Sweaborg, the Islands of 'Caries, Zjogestilo, Kenu, and all the ports on the coast which extends from thence to the Point of Torneo at the extre mity of the Gulf of Bothnia. The Government has also received official information that the Ad mirals commanding the French and English squad rons in the Black Sea, have received orders to ex tend the blockade from the mouths of the Danube to all the ports of the Black Sea and the sea of Azoff in the possession of Russia." MARRIAGE OF PRINCE FREDERICK OF PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Nov. 29.—Princess Maria Anna of Dessau, the young bride of Prince Frederick Charles, made,her public entry in grand state this forenoon into Berlin, amidst the firing of cannon and the admiration of the , multitudes collected in the streets, who were universally struck with her personal charms. The nuptial ceremony took place this evening at the palace, with all the pomp, glitter, and splendour of modern refinement, mingled with the customs and tra ditions of more remote periods. The court of Berlin cannot be surpassed by any other in Europa in getting up and carrying out of all such solemnities ; but on this occasion Count Keller, marshal of the household, and Baron Stillfried, grand master of the ceremonies, en trusted with executing the King's instructions, even sur passed themselves. ►A more gorgeous spectacle could not be seen, The Russian Legation (of both sexes) mustered very strong, and were the special objects of royal attention. The British Legation were few in num ber ; nor was a single red coat there to damp, by the sight of their victorious uniforms, the pleasures of the festival.

ME SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 2, 1854 MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLMENCE. CITY, TNN 0 o'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 6,000 bales, including 1,000 taken for export and on speculation. Tho market was flat, without change in prices. Railway Shares were dull. The official returns relating to trade and navi gation for the month, and ten months ending Nov. 5, 1854, have been issued. From these it appears that the total declared value of the enumerated exports from the United Kingdom, for the month was 5,574,8681., being a decrease of 593,1581., as compared with that of those shipped in the same period of last year. For the 10 months there ap pears an augmentation over those of 1853, to the same date, of 146,3111. in the value of articles exported. The month's exports were larger of linen yarn and woollen yarn, but a de crease is perceptible in cotton manufactures, cotton yarn, earthenware, haberdashery and millinery, Hardwares and cutlery, linen manufactures, machi nery, metals, silk manufactures, thrown silk, and woollen manufactures. The imports in the same time were more extensive of coffee, cochineal, guano, mahogany, cinnamon, cloves, pimento, rum, and unrefined sugar, but less of cocoa, wheat, barley, oats, Indian corn, flour, flax, hemp, currants, provisions, rice, saltpetre, raw silk, cassia lignea, brandy, Geneva, tallow, tea, tobacco, cotton wool, and lambs' and sheep's wool. The shipping accounts exhibit a decrease in the amount of tonnage employed in the foreign trade of the United Kingdom for the month of 86,566 tons for the entries inwards, and of 28,307 tons in the clearances outwards. In the coasting trade for th• month there was a falling off in the tonnage engaged for the entries, but a slight augmentation in the clearances. The Bank of England return for the week to the 25th ult. is more satisfactory, the discounts having fallen off slightly, while the bullion increases. The Government Deposit Account is also improving. The changes compared with the previous week were as follows : Active circulation £19,749,975 Decrease Bullion Increase 78,295 13,709,794 215,010 3,176,199 3,835 4,782,390 316,472 9,715,309 30,305 1,044,770 25,895 11,461,703 31,832 13,850,140 Rest Increase Public Deposits Increase Other Deposits Increase Seven-Day and other Bills Decrease Governmer Securities Increase Other Securities Decrease ..

The Funds have improved upon the statement that Austria has joined the Allies, and Consols have been as high as 92 1, after opening at 912 and 92. There is, however, not much doing. Bank Stock is dull at 209, and India Stock firm at 233 to 234. Exchequer Bills continue at 3s. to Gs. premium. The Committee of Mexican Bondholders have received accounts to November Ist. The insur rection continued, and there was not much pro-, spect of the Bondholders receiving a further appro priation out of the indemnity money.

A trans lation of the text of this important document is as follows : " ADDITIONAL ARTICLE TO THU TREATY OF TER 20TH OF APRIL, 1854, BETWEEN AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA." " The continued threatening state of the affairs of Europe has induced the high Courts of Vienna and Berlin to consider the necessity of an understanding proper to complete the provisions of the treaty of the 20th of April. "The high Sovereigns have coincided in this considera tion that in as far as regards the treaty of the 20th of April, extended by the federal decision of the 24th of July, it is above all things Necessary to act in common, in order to bring about the acceptation by the Diet of a basis for the future negotiations of peace—a basis which would be recognised by them as a proper one. "They acknowledge that such a basis is to be found in the four preliminary points, in favour of the adoption of which Austria and Prussia have already interfered with the Court of Russia ; and they will endeavour, ac cording to circumstances, to procure for that basis a favourable reception. Although the hops of advancing towards a pacific understanding depends on the adop tion of that basis, the general situation of Europe, and the necessity of pursuing the object of peace with more force, requires that the whole of Germany should act with union. Guided by that idea, and appreciating all the dangers which might result for Germany from an attack against the Austrian troops, not only if the Russians entered into the Austrianterritories, 4 6' but also into the principalities, his Majesty the King of Prussia takes, by these presents, with regard to his august 50 ally n hist f Majsty the Emperor of Austria, the engage. 25 him assistance, even in this last case; and 20 he reckons that the other members of the German nen Con federation will also testify, and will prove, in case of 100 necessity, by their acceptanc e of the p resent additional 11:P, giving e article, the same anxiety to offer assistance to Austria. 20 " Done at Vi enna, this 26th 'of November, 1854.

The return would have been greater 5 but for the increased price of coals and other materials. 25 On the arrival of the remainder of the ore in England 25 arrangements will be made for a distribution.

QUEEN'S BENCH. BELL V. THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an action in the case brought to recover compensation in damages for injuries which the plain tiff had sustained while travelling in the Great Northern Railway. The damages were laid at 3,0001. Mr. M. Ohambers appeared for the plaintiff, and the Attorney-General for the company. The plaintiff was a gentleman holding an appointmcnt at the India House, and happening to be in the express train which ran into the coal-truck at Ifornsey, last August twelve months, he received considerable injury through the collision. Ile, therefore, brought the pre sent action to recover some eorapensation for the suffer ing and loss he had been put to in consequence of the accident, and the company paid 1001. into court as their estimate of the damage which he had sustained, but, of course, the plaintiff was not satisfied with that amount, and he now brought his action for trial. The jury gave him a' verdict for 1,5001. CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.) • OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) Two men, named Bulipit and Hawkes, were convicted of having stolen a sack of flour. The charge was, that one of the prisoners being a ser vant of a miller at Deptford, the other prisoner having paid for a sack of flour, had substituted a sack of mid dlings flour. Sentence deferred. Isaac Hart, convicted upon Friday night, was brought up and sentenced to be transported for 14 years. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) William Mayhew, 25, compositor, WM. Edney, 22, labourer, and Ann Pryor, 24, married, were indicted for burglary, in the dwelling-house of William Pursell, and stealing therefrom several pairs of boots. The facts were briefly these :—Prosecutor is a shoe maker in Holywell-street, and the two male prisoners, were seen by the police, upon the morning of the sth of November, springing the shutter of the prosecutor's house, whilst the woman kept watch up a court where some of the prisoners lived. They were all found guilty, and sentenced—Edney to four years' penal servitude, and the others to 12 months and hard labour. THE MAIL PACKETS. SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY. The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Parana, Cap tain Hast, arrived this morning, about nine o'clock, from the Thames, where she has been undergoing ex tensive alterations and repairs. The result of her run round is highly satisfactory, and there is no doubt that the Parana will be equal to most of the fastest ships in the feet. The Tay has also arrived from Portsmouth, and the completion of her repairs will be proceeded with imme diately. The Clyde-built screw-steamer Barwon lying in the East India Docks, has had her name changed to that of the Alma. She has also been taken up by Government, and will be placed at the disposal of the War Office for the conveyance of the whole of the staff officers ordered for the Black Sea. MINING INTELLIGENCE.

THE REPOT OF GENERAL DA;NIVSNBE.RG. (From t, Siegle.) The report of General Dannenberg, giving an ac count of the battle of the sbh of November, is dzawn up in such a manner as t• plass over altogether what ever is most unfavouralle IQ the Russian; army in its defeat at Inkerman. , It. Oentions the regiments which were principally enga ed .in that memor able able affair, but it does not' sa one word of th e i r numbers. Far from that, (hue 1 'Dannenberg says, in express terms, that the Rus4ns were obliged to yield to the superior forces, of the English and French. But as it is affirmed on goqd authority that the Russians at Inkerman were 69,00 against 8,000 English and 6,000 French, what , rrAst 'be thought of the Russian generals if it be true that at the de cisive point the Allies were really mcte numerous than the enemy ! It may be remarked ate that General Danneaberg does not give the amount his loss, and does not say one word of the 5,000 R sians whom he left us the trouble of interring. ,It 4 ) the eulogium which Prince Menschikoff passes on ih. bravery of the two Grand Dukes we at once agree ko it. To be a Prince, to feel oneself regarded by every eye; and not to exhibit bravery, is an utter impossibility . CABINET COUNCIL A Cabinet Council was held yesterd4 afternoon at the Foreign-office.
