rom Cape IBaba, with news to the 16th. The ope , • rations of the allied troops were continuing. The garrison of Sebastopol, soldiers and sailors, was estimated at 25,000 men. The road which goes from OfApe Baba to Sebastopol is perfectly practi cable for the conveyance of artillery. Near Cape Baba the establishment of a place d'armes, pro ., visionally protected by gabions, has been com menced ; and hospitals and supplies are to be placed there. The vessels conveying the siege artillery arrived on the 16th in view of Buurliuk ; the troops would probably arrive at that place towards the 18th, and it was on that point that the siege artillery was to be embarked. The generals-in chief of the allied troops have agreed not to pub , • lisp their first bulletin until they shall have arrived before the walls of Sebastopol. The roadstead in the neighbourhood of Cape Baba is excellent, and is sheltered from the north winds. English and French boats are already on the lake near Eupa , to:ria." A letter from Varna of the 16th, in the Lloyd a Vienna, says The fleet of transports has been arriving the whole of yesterday and to-day from the coast of the Crimea with interesting de tails of the promising commencement of the ex pedition. When a portion of the division com nu aided by Prince Napoleon landed near Eupa to ria, a Russian detachment attempted to prevent the allied troops from advancing ; but the latter immediately formed into columns and charged the enemy ; a part of the English division, under the command of General Brown, supported this ma numit-re. But the Russians did not wait for their adversaries, and withdrew withoutaccepting battle. The troops then began to entrench themselves, and took up a furtified position on the lake south ofEu patoria. It was said that a landing would be effected at Balaklava and that then a combined attack would be made on Sebastopol. In order to cut off all re &natives from the Russian army in the Crimea, the allied troops will occupy in force both Kertch and Pe rekop. It is said that General Cathcart will be at the former and General Canrobert at the latter place. No attack has yet been directed against any othe r point of the Crimea and Bessarabia, and the Mar shal confines himself to forcing the Rtisians to scatter their forces by causing detachments of the flees to appear at the same time on differents points of the coast. Eight transports arrived here yester day to take on board the reserve of the expedition. Troops are daily arriving hero from Bulgaria and Rou nuelia, which will form the garrison of this im portant place and reinforce the reserves. The re inforcements which arrive from France and England only stop here a few hours and then continue their route." T . TURKEY: - - CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 20.—The telegraph will already have apprised you of the successful landing of the British and French forces at Kalamita, on the coast of the Crimea. The great expedition has disembarked, after a most favourable passage. 9ilere is little of interest to report from Constan tinople to-day. M. Aristarchi, the logothete and ex.-capou-kebaia of the Prince of Wallachia, arrived here on Sunday last, without the authorisation of the Ottoman Government. He presented himself at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but was refused admittance, and was ordered out of the country the following day. It will be remembered that this gentleman played a distinguished part at Constan tinople on the arrival of Prince Menschikoff, but was obliged to fly the country after much unsuc cessful intriguing. The British post-office at Constantinople is over whelmed with business, and there is a decided want of hands. Mr. Smith, the active postmaster generals has been ordered up to the Crimea, where no doubt both he and his junior official (Mr. Angell) will find plenty to do. In the meanwhile, the post-office at Constantinople remains in charge of OW3 clerk. THE PRINCIPALITIES. "Omer Paeha," says the Constitutionnel, " con tinues to reside in the town of Bucharest, round -which he has concentrated from 70,000 to 80,000 men, by ordering there the garrisons of the fortified towns ofthe Danube. Another body of 26,000 men is going up the river, and is near Ibrail. This last town, as well as Galatz, is strongly occupied by the Rus sians, who have stopped their movement of re treat, alleging that the Austrians had promised not to allow the Turkish army to enter the Principalities ; but as these latter troops were in force, they could not uncover their strategical line, and abandon the strong position which they occupy in Moldavia, in face of an enemy who might take advantage of it to attack them. On the other hand, the different divisions of the Austrian army are also occupying Wallachia, so that there results for the belligerent parties a singular situation, the denouement of which is looked for with great anxiety and curiosity." We read in a letter from Bucharest of the 20th : —" The Imperial Commissary, Dervish Pacha, has been authorised by the Ottoman Porte to de mand, for the sake of the principle, the payment of the tribute due to the Porte, but to consent to any equitable arrangement. The Prussian Consul, M. Meroni, who was first of all destined fur Galatz, but was obliged, in consequence of disputes with Russian commanders, to go to Belgrade, has ar rived at Bucharest. All the prine pal municipal officers in Wallachia have received orders to pub lish solemnly, and by beat of drum, the proclama tion of General Hess. The General arrived in this city to-day. He is to pass the troops of the Turkish camp in review." Te Wanderer of Vienna states, from Jassy 15th, that accounts had just reached that place of two Austrian regiments of Hussars having crossed the Moldavian frontier at Boshaneze and Pol titcheni. RUSSIA. According to information from St. Petersburg the intelligence of the allies having landed without the slightest loss, or even opposition, upon the Cri mean coast, first reached that place vid Vienna, but was corroborated immediately after by direct telegraphic intelligence from Odessa. It is said to have created a profound sensation, and to have most painfully affected the Emperor, who was led to believe that ample means were provided along the whole coast to resist, or at all events to cause heavy losses to, the invading forces. His Imperial Ma jesty feels, and cannot avoid feelings in common with every other reasonable man, the immense moral and tactical advantage that accrues to the Allies by their having succeeded, without the loss of a man or boat, in this most difficult and hazar dous operation, which all Russia, and indeed all Europe, held to be impossible unless under im mense risks and sacrifices. It may be truly said, indeed, that if the landing at Bomarsund with " dry feet" (as graphically and tersely described by Sir Charles Napier) was extraordinary, the disem barkation of such an immense force without let or hindrance upon the supposed inaccessible coast of the Crimea appears almost fabulous. It stands alone, at all events, amidst the recorded incidents of military and naval operations, whether as regards civilised or barbarous nations. Whether the honour redounds exclusively to the skilful commanders—military and naval—who planned and carried out this really marvellous and im portant achievement, or whether a portion is to be ascribed to the craft and skill for stra tagem with which Prince Menschikoff is said to be gifted, has probably been proved ere this. But if so, it can only be proved by a decisive victory over, nay, a complete rout of the allied forces, and by their being either compelled to lay down their arms or to fly to their ships with the loss of all their materiel, and their honour to boot. FRANCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, FRIDAY, 6 P.M. The following private telegraphic despatch has been received here BERLIN, 29th—ST. PETERSBURG, 24th.-- According to a re p or t a ddressed by Prince Men schikoff to the Emperor, the enemy showed him self on the 13th before Eupatoria, and landed between that town and the village of api, under covet of the guns o f the fleet, so that Princetuo,a Mensebikoff did not think it prudent to attack t hem- in consequence Prince Menschikoff has concentrated his troops, who wait with impatience_ for th e he has t a k en moment when they meet the enemy, and inhabitants up an advantageous position. The of the place where the allies landed have quitted thei r homes. An ukase orders the emission of 6,000,000 of silver roubles in bank notes. The Emperor, accompanied by his aides-de camp and other officers of his household, went on Tuesday evening to witness the representation of the Noces de Jeannette and the Barbierlde Seville, which took place in the large concert-room, which has been temporarily fitted up as a theatre. The Empress was not present, as she was to accompany the Emperor to the grand manoeuvres on the fol lowing morning. Yesterday their an excursion on th e wa t er . Majesties took The Camp of the South is, it is said, to be broken up on Ist November, but Will, it is an nounced, be again formed in the spring. There is a long article in the Droit on the decree for the organisation of a new police in Paris, in imitation of that of London. It approves highly of this measure, but expresses a fear that the great element of success, respect for the agente of the I*Yr, will be still wantiag. M O.N E Y MA 11 KET AND COMAIERCTAL INT.ELLIGENCZ CITY. TW 0 o'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 8,000 bales, including 2,000 taken for export and on speculation. The market was steady at full prices, rather in favour of sellers. Railway shares were dull, and heavy at lower prices. The crop of cotton in the United States for the year ended the 31st August last is now ascertained to have been 2,930,029 bales. In a report of the 16th inst., by Messrs. T. J. Stewart and Co., we regret to find it stated that the Cotton Brokers' Association has been dissolved. The writers in form us that— "There has been but little activity in the market for the past fortnight, the sales at times being so light that reports of transactions became useless. On Tuesday and Wednesday of the present week we received advices by the St. Louis, from Havre, and Niagara, from Liver pool, respectively, three days later, the latter being to afternoon of 2d inst., advising an advance of ad. in the week on the low and middling grades, whilst the better qualities were simply more marketable, —continued favourable accounts •f. the grain and root crops, and an easier money market. These caused a small speculative demand here, as we have recently had sufficient rain at the North to enable the mills to run, and with our small stock and the light additions we shall be receiving during this month the chances would favour an advance irrespective of any export demand. The sales for the first week under review were 2,500 bales, and of the pre sent, up to last evening, 3,400. Sufficient has been taken off the market to enable us to quote it to gc. higher in the week. As the Cotton Brokers' Association has failed to attain the unity so desirable, it is dissolved. Hence , forth we will form our own quotations, adopting the standard samples as a guide, as experience has shown them to be fully up to the Liverpool standard, except in the grade of ordinary, which we shall raise. In the place of our usual tables we insert the crop of the year, which closed on 31st ult., to which we refer. The ad vices from the South continue almost uniformly of the most favourable character, the exceptions few for the great extent of country in the culture, and are entirely isolated cases. To this date the prospect exceeds those of the three preceding crops, and the arrivals at New Or leans are unusually large for the very low stage of the Mississippi. A severe hurricane on the Atlantic coast has injured the cities of Charleston and Savannah, and the rice and sea island crops. We are without advices from the interior, but from the course of the storm pre sume there has been no . injury to the upland crop." The changes which occurred in the financial posi tion of the Bank of England during the week to the 23d inst. were of no general importance. The amount to the credit of the Government was still increasing, but not in the ratio that it should do. It bears evidence, in fact, of the drain upon our resources. A further small decrease in the balances of private depositors, and an addition to the dis counts, exemplify the continuance of the demand for money. As to the specie it would have declined more but for the large arrivals almost counter balancing the exports. Compared with the pre vious week, the changes were as follow : Active circulation. Decrease 287,135 Bullion 13,228,886 Decrease 50,484 3,710,358 6,506 5,363,572 378,339 9,768,357 12,355 1,021,395 2,180 10,996,955 15,487,091 133,659 7,293,480 144,055 Rest Increase Public Deposits Increase Other Deposits Decrease Seven-Day and other Bills Decrease Government Securities Other Securities Increase Notes unemployed Increase The circulation of all the Banks in the United Kingdom during the four weeks to the 2d inst. shows, as compared with the previous month, the following'changes :—Bank of England, 20,046,6561., decrease 492,513/. ; private banks 3,485,0521., de crease 85,440/. ; Joint Stock Banks 2,853,9111., decrease 29,3321.

Total—the United Kingdom, 35,830,4711. ; total decrease in the United King dom, 739,076/. There v a firm market again for bills on the principal foreign cities, and in some instances the rates of exchange were higher. Paris, 90 days, 25 30 to 35 ; Amsterdam, 11 18 to 181 ; Ham burgh, 13 6/ to 7# ; Frankfort, 118/ and Trieste 11 42 to 48. For gold to be shipped to the Continent there is no demand. Bar silver is at ss. lid., Carolus dol lars are 6s. 4d. per ounce. Upon the probability of important discoveries in the interior of Australia, a subject commented upon at the British Association's Meeting this week, by the geologist to the expedition, a contemporary devoted to Colonial topics remarks : " The most noticeable thing in the little South Austra lian news that has arrived, is that of a visit from a party of unknown natives from the interior. They are said to be superior to the miserable race which on the south and east coasts constitute the lowest type of humanity. The _ . stranger natives crossed Lake Torrens at a shallow part, and reached a station on the north-west border. They had evidently no knowledge of Europeans or of the native tribes in the 'South Australian terri tory. They described their own country as abounding in game, grass, water, and trees, thus confirming the experience of the settlers, that the farther the interior is penetrated the richer the country becomes, in place of the desert which has been anticipated, and which may exist farther to the northward. Trifling as this incident may at first sight appear, we regard it as an important event to the colony. It ought to give an impulse to wards immediate discovery in this portion of Australia, and if water is plentiful there would be no great diffi culty in a well-provided party pushing right across the continent to the discoveries made by Leichhardt on the eastern sido. There is a sad want of enterprise m this respect in all the Australian Governments. They will waste money by tens of thousands on useless objects close to the seat of Government, or in almost as useless official salaries, but they will give nothing to exploration, which, when it takes place, has to be promoted by private subscription. From th e account given by these natives, there appears to be no reasonable dolibt but that in the direction indicated a rich and valuable country is to be found, and could be reached without difficulty. The Government should pursue the inquiry. It is disgraceful to Englishmen that they should have colonised Australia more than 60 years since, and know little about the country beyond the occupied strip on the sea-coast ; for, compared with the whole continent, it is nothing more than a strip." The exports of specie from London direct during the week to Thursday last comprised 338,208 ounces of silver and 390 ounces of gold, all to Ger many and France. In the Funds there is but little animation again, and prices are lower. Consols have been 941 to 95i for transfer, and 95i to for account—money stock being plentiful. The premium upon Exche quer Bills has been ss. to Bs., ,and upon India Bonds 9s. Foreign Stocks are dull. Russian 41 per Cents. have been dealt in at 88, and Dutch 2i per Cents. at 61i to The Turkish Scrip is 2i to 3} prem., being firmer. The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks :,---Grenada Deferred Bonds, 51 to 6f ; Mexican, 24i to '24; ; Peruvian, 70 to 72 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 51 to 53 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents., 40 to 42 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 98 to 100 ; ditto 4 per Cents., 87 to 89 ; Spanish New Deferred, 18i to 18/ ; ditto 3 per Cents., 371 to 38 ; ditto Certificates, 5 to 5i ; ditto Passive, 4 to 4j. For Railway Shares there is a drooping market, sales having been made at a decline of to 1 per cent. in London and North-Western, .1 1 in Lanca shire and Yorkshire, in Midland, and in Cale donian. Great Northern and Great Western have been tolerably steady. Foreign shares aro also depressed. In Mines and Banks there is nothing doing. Crystal Palace are firm. Canada Government Debentures have been maintained. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (Front the 011icial _Lido Business done. 3 per Cent.

OFFICIAL DESPATCHES FROM GENERAL LORD RAGLAN DOWNING-STREET, SEPT. 30. Two despatches, of which the following are an extract and a copy, have been received by the Duke of Newcastle from General Lord Raglan, G.C.B. : Extract of a Despatch from General Lord Raglan, G.C.8., to the Duke of Newcastle. Varna, Aug. 29, 18.54. The embarkation is proceeding rapidly and successfully, thanks to the able arrangements of Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, and the unceasing exertions of the office , s and men under his orders. It is impossible for me to ex press in adequate terms my sense of the value of the assis tenets the Army under my command derives from the Royal Navy. • The same feeling prevails from the highest to the lowest; from Vice-Admiral Dundee to the youngest sailor, an ardent desire lo co-operate by every possible means is mani fest throughout ; and I am proud of being associated with men who are animated by such a spirit, and aro so entirely devoted to the service of their country. Camp above Old Fort Bay, Sept. 18, 1554. My Lord Duke,—l do myself the honour to acquaint your Grace, that the combined fleets and their convoys appeared in the Bay of Eupatoria on the 13th inst , and to the course of the following night proceeded some miles in the southward, where the Allied Armies commenced dis embarking early in the morning of the 14th,—the French in the Bay below Old Fort, the English in the next Bay nearer to Eupatoria—and before dark the whole of the British Infantry, and some Artillery, and meat of the French troops, were on shore. Shortly before dark the weather unfortunately changed, and it became hazardous to attempt to continue landing either tamps or guns. The surf on the beach impeded the operatiOn the follow ing morning, and since on more than one occasion ; but. thaiks to the great exertions of the navy, under the able and active superintendence of Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, who was charged with the whole arrangement, every obstacle has been overcome, and I am now enabled to report to your Grace that the disembarkations have been completed. I should not do justice to my own feelings, or to those of the troops I have the honour to command, if I did not prominently bring to the knowledge of your Grace the deep sense entertained by all of the invaluable services rendered by her Majesty's navy. The spirit by which both o ffi cers and men were ani mated made them regardless of danger, of fatigue, and indeed of every consideration but that of performing an arduous and important duty; and that duty they dis charged to the admiration of all who had the good fortune to witness their unceasing efforts to land horses and car riages, with the utmost expedition and safety, under fre quently the most trying circumstances.—l have, &c. (Signed) RAGLAN. His Grace the Duke of Newcastle, &o. CANADA. LIYERPOOL, Saturday Morning. The Sarah Sands from Montreal arrived last evening with dates to the 15th inst. Cholera was subsiding at Quebec. She brought 240 artillerymen amongst her passengers. The 71st, 66th, and 54th Regi ments were under orders for embarkation, and ex pecting to leave in one of the Company's steamers. The Sarah Sands passed the Ottawa on the morning of the 17th, one day's sail from Quebec. STATE OF TRADE. (Prom the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHEBTIR, Sept. 29.—Our market is still suffer ing, though in a diminished degree, from that feeling of distrust which was created by the recent heavy failures. The shippers are doing extremely little, especially for the more distant markets ; and the bias of prices is slightly unfavourable in some kinds of yarns, and more markedly so in goods suitable for India. The home manufacturers are, however, buying 20s to 34s twist and weft in the cop more freely than before ; and 32s cop twist, being scarce, is lather inclined to harden in price. GLASGOW, Supt. 29.—Our market keeps very steady. The inquiry from the trade being good they buy pretty freely. Prices of all descriptions of American cotton are steady at last week's rates. Sea Islands fully one penny per lb higher. BRADFORD, Sept. 28.—The business of to-day bas been on the same limited scale as for several weeks, the spinners buying only what they require for immediate consumption, prices being such as to retard extended operations. Noils and broker continue in request. WOOLLEN TRADE. (Front, the Leeds Mercury of this day.) LEEDS, Sept. 29.—There has not been any change of consequence in the state of the woollen market thi, week. There was rather more activity in the coloured Cloth-hall on Saturday, and an improved business was done ; but on Tuesday the market was fiat, and the quantity of cloth that changed owners was within a very moderate compass. In the white cloth market, both on Saturday and on Tuesday, there was a fair moderate business done. HUDDERSFIELD, Sept. 26.—The market today in the Cloth-hall was not an improvement on the previous week, but rather under the average of what we have had to designate quiet these few weeks past. ROCHDALE, Sept. 25.—We have had a brisk market, and the demand for flannels is exceedingly good, at prices much the same as the preceding week. The wool mar ket has undergone little or no change ; the manufac turers buy very sparingly, and for immediate use only. MARKET NEWS-(7111"2 DAY.) • COVENT GARDEN.

A stone portico has been erected over each of the ascending back entries from the west, which will have the effect of making. quarters there more comfortable, by destroying the cold currents so much complained of in easterly winds.

BOULOGNE, Sept. 28.—The sham-fight which has been so long looked forward to took place yester day, and far exceeded the highest expectations of what it would be. From 60,000 to 65,000 men were present, and, although greater musters have been seen for purposes short of actual warfare, pro bably on no former occasion have such large num 'hers of soldiers been connected with so faithful and close a representation of a real battle. In every respect but the sad scene of the dead and the dying . the spectacle was complete. A broad distinction must be drawn between this sham-fight and the one which took place the other day at Marquise. That was a long a d vance in the face of an enemy, accom panied, indeed, by a considerable expenditure of gunpowder—but of which the rapidly-executed manoeuvres were the chief feature. Yesterday, on the contrary, the spectacle exhibited was a regular pitched battle, with upward s of 30,000 men on either side, and the shock cf arms such as takes place when decisive victo r i es — those which deter mine the fate of nations —are contended for. A general may have his position turned by a dexte rous movement °Gins adv ersary, and be placed at a great disadvantag e thereby; but the large results dependent upon the fortunes of war belong to Lim who conquers on a well-fought field. The repre sentation of a pitched battle, therefore, is the grandest of military spectacles, just as its real enactment is the most terrible If what is here related of yesterday's sham-fight does not preserve all the proprieties of the subject, it is due to the number of different ways in which an event may bo regarded. Even the fact that it assembled to gether and collected in one view the whole Army of the North is not without its interest ; that army mustered upon the frontiers of France for enter prises which the future still dimly foreshadows. How many reflections does such a fact suggest ? Who can tell where the 60,000 actors in the bloodless strife of yesterday may next close their serried ranks iu combat ; and what the strife, its prizes and its sacrifices, may be ? Another consideration which may not be withheld from this spectacle is that which is due to the presence of the Empress. Young and handsome, well mounted, too, on her dapple gray Andalusian palfrey, with her picturesque Spanish riding hat, set off by a snow white plume that danced and fluttered as she rode—who could see without emotion this last and most graceful accession to the sovereign families of Europe watch ing, for the first time, how the soldiers fight who put her husband upon the throne of France Per haps the presence of old Prince Jerome should also be mentioned. He did not.arrive until the sham fight was half over, bui his being there at all con stitutes a portion cf the historic interest which the event may, without exaggeration, be considered to possess. The district of country between Escceuilles and Desvres has hitherto been indicated as that where the sham-fight would probably take place, but it is too much enclosed to admit of any extensive field operations, and the locality actually chosen by the Emperor proved to be far better adapted for that purpose. It is situated on the road from Desvres to St. Omer, by Courtraux and Senbecques, and is one of those wide, undulating expanses of stubble and ploughed land which seem carefully kept open on the Continent that battles may be fought on them. The troops coming from the four coast camps set out for the place of rendezvous on Tues day, but did not march beyond the eastern verge of the Foret de Boulogne, where, in a long line stretched out on both sides of the Desvres high way, they bivouacked for the night. The posi tion they thus occupied was one of considerable ' strength, for they had a valley in front and the wood behind for shelter, in case of need. The 0 artillery and Chasseurs were in front, and pickets thrown out as in actual service. There was nothing very worthy of remark in this mode of bivouacking as compared with that of our own army, except, of course, the use of the Arab tent, which has already been frequently de scribed. It may, perhaps, however, be mentioned that iu picketting the horses there are some modifi cations of the English practice ; one is to stretch the rope to which they are tied on the level of the ground, so that there is no tendency to stumHe over it in the dark and kick ; another, but more objectionable novelty, is the plan of tying horses !lead-to-head on each side of the rope. How the troops came from Helfaut, or where they bivou acked on Tuesday night, we are not able to state, but . yesterday, at half-past 11 o'clock, they had reached the eastern side of the open ground near Courtraux. There they were joined by the bat talions from Equihem, a portion of the St. Omer cavalry force going over to the battalions from the three camps on the western side. Thus the .army became divided into two opposing hosts, each shel tered from the other by the lay of the ground, and not very unequal in point of numbers. On the east of the proposed battle-field were the troops of Equihem and Helfaut, with their proper comple ment of artillery and cavalry, under the command_ of General Schramm ; on the west, those of Hon vault, Wimereux, and Ambleteuse, with artillery and cavalry, led on by the Emperor in person. The weather was superb—not a cloud .in the sky, And yet a pleasant coolness abroad which helped to keep the soldiers fresh. They were all in light marching order, having left their tent poles behind them. The Emperor reached the ground about 10 o'clock ; the first-hour and a half was spent by him in seeing that the troops on both sides were pro perly placed. Shortly before 12 o'clock the Empress arrived at Courtraux, and, mounting on horse back, was conducted at once by the Emperor to the spot where the fight was to commence. A valley, open to the eye in every point, yet finely undulated and crowned by low heights, behind which the more advanced battalions of the Emperor's coin- 1 mand lay concealed, separated the two armies. The! position and arrangements of each indicated that it was aware of the immediate presence of the other, and that a battle was imminent ; but Schramm's corps was exposed to view, as, in fine order, it formed line and threw out skirmishers on the . eastern slope. Gradually, and as if feeling their , way, the leading battalions of the Emperor's army showed themselves. upon the edge of their side of the valley, and then the firing commenced by a dropping; fire on Schramm's side. This had not continued long when the front rank of the Empe ror's troops opened, and a regiment of Hussars rushing through made a rapid advance upon the enemy's centre, throwing out skirmishers. It was a movement very imposingly executed, but horse and rider were soon compelled to beat a precipitate retreat, and Schramm, emboldened by hi s fi rs t suc cess, moved up to a closer attack. The Emperor now brought forward his artillery, first on the heights to the right of his position, then at the ' centre, and last of all to the left. He also ad vanced his foremost battalions, and skilfully avail- ' ing himself of some cover in doing so, brought a larger number of men to the front. A tremendous fusillade now raged along the lines on either side for some time, and the fronts were rapidly ex tended by bodies of troops brought up from the rear. Some of Schramm's battalions, threatened by the Emperor's cavalry, once more formed square, and, being this time within close range of a batteryon the heights, must have been tremendously ' cut up by it. It was therefore necessary to throw out skirmishers and fall back, so that the attack upon the Emperor's strong position on the heights had been successfully resisted. He now began to advance his line, still extending it at the same time until it reached from one end of the open space to the other. The left wing gradually inclined further forward than the right ; the centre rested on the St. Omer road ; and the right was gradually thrown back, in order apparently to get round a projecting piece of woodland, from which Schramm could be assailed on his left flank. While this operation was in progress, a heavy musketry fire was kept up, especially along the centre, the opposing forces ex changing withering volleys at short distances. For tune appeared still to declare herself in favour of the Emperor, and his opponent was driven back still further upon his own side of the valley, whence he had advanced to attack the heights. Schramm had hitherto made little use of his artil lery, but it was now brought up to cover his backward movement. The Emperor's batteries replied, and on the right his reserves were brought forward further down into the valley, as if to sup port the movement which was in progress at the extreme verge of the wing in that direction. On the centre and left he appeared reluctant to forego his strong position on the heights, and, in conse quence, the direction of his front changed, the right wing being thrown considerably in advance of the left. Schramm's lines being withdrawn to a still greater distance on the St. Omer-road the battle now resolved itself into a demonstration of artillery— the musketry fire ceasit:g, except upon the right, where there was some skirmishing. At this stage there was a good deal of manoeuvring' on both sides, the exact object of which no one seemed able to explain, but, finally, Schramm's left having been successfully assailed, a s t ro ng force was de tached from the Emperor's left to drive him back on his right flank also. The consequence was a further back war d movement i n t o ground splendidly adapted f or cava l ry opera ti ons , though, in this re spect, there was no portion of the field of battle which could be considered unfavourable. display, Before, however, entering upon that part of the the Emperor made a short pause—partly y se partl to rest arrival of Prince _ -the troops, but also to await the Jerome, who, with a party of ladies, at this time When the fight was resumed came upon the field. a general advance was ordered, and the battalions of infantry, in dense columns, threw themselves across the valley which had hitherto been the scene of the contest. They formed the centre and right of the Empero r ' s arm, while hi s - cavalry force, sup. ported by horse ar tille y ry, came gracluallyforward on the left. Dragoons, Cuirassiers, and Hussars, in one mighty tide of flashing steel, to which all eyes were directed—they swept on their way under the blazing sunlight. Every eye was directed to them, as slowly each regiment, singlin g out i ts bat talion, prep are d itself for the tremendous charge. First, the batteries were brought up and poured their fire into the compact masses of squares ; and then, before " the war cloud" had swept away horse and man were hurled like thunderbolts upon them. It was a wonderfully fine sight, and brought this great field day to a splendid finale. The foregoing details of the sham-fight at Deavres, if they serve no other purpose, will at least enable the reader to understand that, on this occasion, a perfect idea was given, if not of a real pitched battle, at least of the manner in which the French army, when such battles are fought, endeavours to bind victory to its eagles. First, there was the terrible display of infantry power in all its varied forms, in skirmishing, in forming line, in seeking shelter from fire or coming under it, in the firm advance, and in the square. Then the force of the artillery arm was shown, the distances at which it acts, and how it covers reverses on the one hand, and conceals movements on the other. Finally, there was the cavalry brought proudly forward and charging—that portion of an army which comes in with most effect, in real as well as sham-fights, at the close—which changes into rout, smashing and driving into irretrievable confusion the broken ranks of an enemy. Of the spectacle in which, during four hours, these different phases of the battle -fi e ld were represented,- no adequate concep tion can b e formed by any description. It is not in l anguage, however well selected, to fill in upon the, can vass of the mind so astonishi ng a picture. When the mere effects of the pageantry comprised in it are exhausted, other considerations remain behind. Such, for instance, are the impressions thus conveyed of military science as an element of Power in human affairs. Undoubtedly, i n thi s respect, the French army de serves the reputation which it enjoys, and it is no disparagement to the character of our own troops that we feel duly the might which such an army carries along with it. At the close of the sham fight the Emperor and Empress, side by side, and followed by an i mmense staff, rode from battalion to battalion. Though • nominally an inspection, it was in reality a oto .. ful mode of enabling th e men t o see her Majesty, and they appeared much gratified at the opportu nity for doing so. It was five o'clock before they began to march back to their encampments of the preceding night, but though they had had a fatiguing day of it, and bivouacking is not even in fine weather a brilliant prospect to look forward to, they sang merrily in bands as they went. In some respects, to see their dense columns moving along under the bright moonlight, and afterwards the long line of their watch fires fringing the Fort de Boulogne, was almost as striking as their most brilliant move.. ments in the field. It is confidently believed here that there were from 80,000 to 100,000 men engaged in the sham fight at Courtray, 50,000 at that near Marquise, and that the Emperor and P r i nce Alb er t reviewed 30,000 when they went to St. Omer. Now, the army of the North is chiefly concentrated in fire camps, each containing about 10,000 men. That makes 50,000. Allowing that there are 10,000 more billetted in villages and towns, the whole in fantry does not exceed 60,000, and cavalry and artillery together will not make up another 10,000. The full strength of the army, therefore, may be set down at from 65,000 to 70,000, and, as a con siderable number of men remain behind on such occasions, it is tolerably clear that the estimates generally accepted here are very much over-stated. To-day and to-morrow are blank days, but on Saturday the grand parade f or th e distribution of decorations is expected to take place at the Napo leon column, and on Sunday, it is said, the Em peror and Empress return to Paris. LETTER FRONT AN OFFICER IN THE TURKISH ARMY. BcCHABEST, Sept. 18.—My dear Friend,—l have addressed one letter to you at Paris ; I now forward another to you at London. lam in ecstasies at the marvellous sagacity of the great diplomatists, who have devised this alliance with Austria, and at the conse quences to which it may lead. As I am no theorist, but a soldier, who has taken up again his old trade of arms, I will only trouble you with facts. Austria has called upon us to co-operate with it for the liberation of Wallachia ; the French and Eng lish commander-in-chief have pressed us to aid this new ally. We force the passage of the Danube, we skirmish with the Russians, and we push on to Bucharest. We find and we maintain there order and tranquillity, devotion to the Sultan, eagerness to promote our work by force of arms ; and everything goes on as well as can be. The French and English start on their expe dition to the Crimea, and we prepare to march into Bee. sarabia. On the 6th of September the Austrians arrived General Coronini declares that be wishes to re•establish order—which he found ro-established ; to bring back jue. tics, by the recall of Prince Stirbey and M. Johannides, who despised and outraged it ; and to confirm the pri vileges and prerogatives of the Wallachians, by instal ling Prince Stirbey—humiliating decision ! Uur Commander-in-Chief invites General Hess to unite in a forward movement to create a diversion in favour of the French and English who have landed in the Crimea, and who might be embarrassed if Russia were left free to concentrate its forces against the troops that have been disembarked there. General Hess is in no hurry to give his adhesion to this proposal ; on the contrary, he intimates that his troops will occupy the line of the Prutb, and that they will neither allow the Russians to re-enter Moldavia, nor our army —the Turkish—to advance into Bessarabia. Here is a mag nificent result ! One hundred and fifty thousand of the hest troops of the Allies reduced to a state of inaction by the new ally; whilst sixty thousand French and Eng lish will be exposed to all the forces of Russia, which, guaranteed and covered as it is by Austria, has its whole arthy disposable. The first-fruits of the alliance are magnificent —are they not ? We shall see in time what are to follow. If diplomacy continues to work in this fashion, we shall march from Sinope to Sinope, to arrive at Moscow and the Beresina. Present my respects to these gentle. men ; they are great and f-pleudid men. I say nothing to you of Wallachia ; you will come and you will see. THE RESTORATION OF BBSSARABIA TO TURKEY. (From the Journal de Constantinople of 14th September.) A correspondence from Bucharest., which has appeared in the Moniteur, seems to deserve notice. It relates to Bessarabia. After recapitulating the circumstances under which this province was wrested from Turkey by the E nperor Alexander, and giving sonic statistical de tails relating to its population, the writer proceeds t. remark "Toe Emperor Alexander left intact to the Bessarabians their administrative institutions and their laws, and ultimately consented to grant them a kind of constitution. But in 1827 the Emperor Nicholas decreed measures diametrically opposed to those of the preceding reign. Deputations sent to St. Petersburg reclaimed their ancient institutions as a right : they were sent back unanswered. Tho opposition of the boyards became evaluated ; struggle then began between the government of St. Petersburg and the aristocracy of the province, and all the measures adopted by Government have since been directed to one end—the ruin of the country. Since 1829 the resources of this rich province have sensibly and continually decreased, without inducing the Govern ment to pause in the course it has chalked out for itself. ' The Wallachian tongue has ceased to be the official las. gnage ; it is discussed in the courts of law and in the Government offices. Russian officials are appointed everywhere, and the province has been treated with a view to m a k e it l ose a ll sense of nationa li ty . I n this state of affairs it i s easy t o conceive w h a t a re the wishes . of the peopl e , an d w h at vows the presen ce of 6! allied armies on the D anu b e h as canoe d t h e m to emit. W • said lately that i n or d er to rfect a just and substantial work, Bessa ra bi a must be restored to the Porte by re uniting it to M o ld av i a. On ly by this means can Bess arabia be raised from the state of ruin into which it has been plunged by the Russians. ......

A suf fi cient test has bees Apartiall a fforde d arge toenable skilful agriculturists to determine th • real produce of their wheat land. One-fifth above an ave. rage crop is the result of their calculations as respects Des vonshire ; and in Corn wall, where a rough estimate has been formed of the yield on the bulk of the wheat farms, the quantity will be rather less. but certainly tar beyond an. average. Oats have turned out well in all parts of the western district, and the crops of barley have been good, and generally saved in splendid condition. Turnips, mangold wurtzel, and ether root crops are very pr o . mining, and the potatoes which have been taken up within the last few days are much less diseased than was expected. Prices of beef, mutton, wool, and other farm produce are still remunerative to the agriculturist, but the great bulk of the consumers of butchers' meat in Devonshire and Somerset are turning their attention to a reformation in their butchers' bills.
