THE BATTLE OF ALMA The following Letter was found on Lieuti ,nant Poidevin, the French officer mextioned in k Le de spatch of Marshal St. Arnaud as having bea7 a. shot while planting the French flag on the tealegra.ph tower. It was forwarded to his family by his -bro ther officers. It is dated from the bivou as near Eupatoria, 18th ult.:— "My dear Sister,—l have just received yoi ay :letters of the 25th and 28th nit. lam very well. 1 ffe have all landed in the Crimea without any opposit ion. from the enemy. We march to-morrow at 7 o'clock wi th the English and the Turks. We are to effect the p itirsagl of a river defended, it is said, by 50,000 Russians. All the villages supply us with omen, sheep, and carria ger i with the best possible good will. The women of Eupa tea de., all dressed in the French style, are charming ; they I :is s their hands to us, regarding us as their saviours. The 3.l,:arshaa has announced that any one found pillag in g sha 31 be im mediately shot without trial. For the last three days we ave had nothing but brackish water to drink. I'4a-mor row we hope to get a little better from Messieurs the Rus sians, who, if they had liked, might have made , its lose 10,000 men at the time of landing. We do lie t rely much on the provisions which we may get from ti is Cos sacks, for they live in the greatest misery. I'h e Mar shal, in reviewing ns yesterday, said to me : Yon carry you will being me a Russian one a flag, Sir, but I hope with it.' I replied that I would do my best i satigfy him. The porte-drapeau is a passed lieutenant, I ant as we have not yet had a general inspection, it is prob able ',hat he who was proposed for the post last year is a,pprnnted (he is now at the depot). In any case, he will not sur vive until after the battle, and, if lam killed, lam know not what may happen. There is no longer ai iy cholera in the army. We have lost two sub-lieutenar its by it— Gu6r3r and Gnignard. The latter made a •r r ieech over the tomb of the former. We 'hope to corn rnence the siege of Sebastopol on the 21st or 22d.

I been parlonfor openire7 your lettar to in , t lllf cad news.' The editor of the Vienna Press.; win) was for merly an -Aostrinn Captain of Engineers, is pro indebted to one of his forrai,‘r coinra ie for the "authentic intelligence" to to the motli ecl - plan of the Allies. " AftPr the battle of the Alma had•been fearzht, the allied forces remained in the position whit ta they ha•l gained f,r a fad i days:" They subsequent.l7 marched elem. , the coast, aeres3 the Katcha, to the Bribeck, from whi,th river there i 3 a decent road leading to the north ern fortifications of Sebastopol. 'True pa were sent to reconnoitre the fort; Constantine and, Catherine. The be;ieging; ' remained close to the coast, but the main army marched to the north-cast of Sebastopol. From this - position the allied army can keep the Russians at Bakshi.Serai from disturbing the operations of the siege, and can, if necessary, support the besieging corps on the south and north sides of the fortress. • . " A part of the fleet is in the neighbourhood of the Btlbeek, -in complete communication with the besieging corps in the north. Another division of the fleet sailed to the_ south, and landed 6,000 men at Ba.lak lava, The operations of this corps will first be directed against the Quarantine Fort, and when that has fallen an attack will be made on Fort Alexander. At the same tine the .besieging corps in the, north will at tack Fort Constantine and the batteries which are near it. When Forts Alexander and Constantine are taken the entrance to the port of Sebastopol will be free, and an attack may be made on the city, which is de fended on the south side by a battery of 50 guns, and on the north by Fort Catherine. The Allies are of opinion that the battery may be more easily- managed than the fort. As soon as the battery is taken, the ships will be able to send their shells into the city. The next rein forcements are said to be destined to land under the protection of the tuns of the fleet at Perekop, in order to cut off the Russian troops which are advancing from Khtrson," A corporal of the 42d, whose letter is publinheci in the Scotsman, writes : The light division advanced in front of the heavy one e:, Tay one—and they did great havoc with the rifle. They were in line and went even to the cannon's Inouth. We were then ordered•to take ground to our left, and f'u•rn four deep. When formed in line, wo adveneed over hedges, ditches, houses, and all. We crone into a wood or orchard, where the shot and shell were trying over• our heads and bursting fearfully. We came to a river, and the water was ploughed with the shot. One of our officers said to his company, "Come, you. must cross the water." I was among the first of the regi ment to jump in, firelock and all. I leaped in up to the neck, and was much refreshed by it after comng out. So we all got scattered in the wood. But the old briga dier says—" Come on, my boys, the 42d never turn their backs to the foe." So up the hill we go, .every man calling out " Su-and-so company"—we being all scat tered.. He got us formed after we had passed a regment that had to retire, and the only thing he had to regret was, that we were too keen to get at the enemy, and he could not get right time to form us. The Duke canie up in front of un and said, "Here I am. Come,' says the old General, " Come on, my boys, lam going to make you charge." So on we go as firm as rocks, the shot showering like rain. When we came withsn 80 yards of a large column we halted, fixed bayonets : , and gave a British cheer, long and loud, and wher they heard us, they were amazed, and fled from the battery. The whole retired, keeping up a murderous fire. But didn't we pay them back ?—the Minid rifle :laying hundreds low at once. They crossed a valley belf •w us, and after they began to retire up the opposite height, up comes the horse artillery, and comment ;ed to bombard them. Oh if you had seen the b•aautiful practice of the artillery ; they first went in front of them, and then roar, roar went the guns, and you could see the shot and shell landing in the black - masses, and sometimes you would think you saw the column falling in like a house. Just at this time the :French made their appearance on the crest of a hill above • hem, driving about 20,000 or 30,000 in front of then and met those we were driving up the hill ; and oh ! if you bad heard the cheering we gave the French when they came in sight. Both they and us bad a hard job .1 it, but both of us did our work in glorious style. I felt what I never felt but once, an•i that was when a r - rioy at Fchool, and fighting with another. I felt poosesse dof a nerve and resoluti:m which I Dever believed wasi: in me, thrmg.h 1 winoerl a little when I ?Avr a ennnon 1,41: ~r a shell c , min.4. direct in my way, and seeing some ownrade4 cut, in two by it. ; The bullets were s o thick, it .w,:uld make you think you were in a heavy sl w wor of hail-tone,.

As I was iooking • at the awful carnag•,P, I came across a poor Pole- -lie was shot in the belly and was in great agony. Iwe at down on my knees and the tear stood in my eye, and .

A private letter from an officer in comnaaind of one of the vessels of the Baltic fleet gives th e fol lowing interesting particulars : " All the small steamers are on their way hot ti from the Baltic, including the Wrangler. The seal mg. fleet • under Admiral Plumridze are now in Kiel B a y, 'v.-hits • some of the steamers which are in attendance eon t'aem are completing with coal at Faro Sound and at I tlsinnre.

MANSION-HOUSE.—After the routine business wa9 transacted by the Lord Mayor, Sir R. W. Carden entered the justice-room, and, ad dressing his lordship, said :—lt is fresh in the recollec tion of the that several weeks ago an appeal was public _ made in the absence of your lordship by an ;Migrant, upon the part of several persons who intended to accom pany him, in the vessel called the Jane Greene, for Aus tralia ; that the appeal was grounded upon the fact that parties who had received their money had.misappro priated the whole of it, and that the bankruptcy of the latter had suddenly thrown into extreme indigence and misery those who had relied upon the integrity of the men in whose hands they had deposited their proper'y. Alderman Carter and I entered upon the investi gation which we at once saw it was most neces sary to institute, and we found that 198 of our fellow-creatures were undeservedly reduced to a most deplorable condition. After having made the greatest efforts to get together the means of enabling them to try their fortune in a remote part of the world, * we appealed to the public on their behalf, and we have now the satisfaction to state that with the assistance of the merchants and shipowners, and by the ex- traerdinary liberality of a lady whose hand is always " open as day to melting charity," all those emigrants, whose necessities were undeniable, have been provided for in eifferent vessels. The last thirty of the poor ap plicants, all of whom expressed their gratitude in a man ner not to be misunderstood, sailed a few days ago. Each of the whole number of emigrants has been pro ♦ided with a fund to enable him to meet those difficulties which are sure to present themselves in a land for the first time visited ; and as arrangement has been made by which each will be enabled to receive whatever dividend may arise from the estate of the bankrupts through authorised persons. I think it necessary to state that to Meisrs. Phillips, Shaw, and Lowther, the shipowners, we are greatly indebted for their active participation int the efforts to render the important service which hasi, been accomplished, and that Captain Lean, the Govern.: meat emigration officer, can never be forgotten by any of the unfortunate people who have required his invalu, able assistance. Captain Lean—After the statement made by Sir Ri W. Carden relative to the contributions of the merchants! shipowners, and brokers of the City for the relief of tht distressed passengers of- the-Jane Greene, and the g neral distribution of the fund, it would seem almo , --t u necessary for me to occupy the attention of the Coup by auy further remarks, but as it may be gratifying to the subscribers to form an opinion as to how worthily chair bounty has been bestowed, I cannot do so more effectually than by the mention of two or three• cases of destitution which are a fair sample of the condi tion of the whole et the passengeis. There was nraolgst the emigrants a very poor but very re spectable woman, with four children, who had been waiting many weeks for the ship's arrival at Plymouth in order to embark, and who had paid 64/. pn.ssage money. That woman had been reduced by' the failure to such penury as to be obliged to apply to the magli trates in that town for raid, not being entitled to assist ance from the parochial authorities, as her residence had otom in Somersetshire. Of the funds raised by the exer tions of Aldermen Sir R. W. Carden and Carter, tile ,unt of 541. was paid to provide a passage for th.it in . jored fandiy in the Fortitude, which was to sai! from Piy ' mouth. The .turn of 101., besides a small local sub.4crip- Liao, had been paid for the passage of a family with fiirc oath trim at Torquay, by the same ship. There was another case which at this gnome: t occurs to me. It is teat of a mari wit., white the prosecution of the bankrupts wits proeeedieg at the Mansion-home, was attacke I by rhelera and died, leaving a widow and four children at Worcester. In that instance the whole of the psosage money.was returned to the unfortunate widow. I trust I may be permitted to express before Ire Court- how deeply sensible I am of the encouragement I have in variably received from the magistrates and authorities of the City in prosecuting cases of injustice dubs to emigrants, and the substantial justice which has invariably resulted. When, in the present instance, the jurisdiotion was taken out of the hands of the Court by the bankruptcy of the parties implicated, a subscription was promptly headed by two of them (Aldermen Sir R. W. Carden and Carter), who have given such efficient aid in advocating the cause of the charity, and who, by visiting the ship and personally investigating ,the condi tion of the people, were enabled to form a sound judg ment as to the distribution. With reference to the former of those gentlemen more particularly, I cannot even in his presence, expressing my grateful sense of the devotion of his time to the object of the subscrip tion, by taking charge of the donations frura time to time, and administering the funds so liberally, yet so economi cally, as to carry out the work of benevolence by the despatch of all the passengers to their original destina tion. I need scarcely add that the gratitude of the people before their departure was unbounded. Captain Lean concluded by alluding in a very warm manner to the liberal and prompt assistance rendered by the Emi gration Commissioners, from whom he had received leis iestructions. The Lord Mayor said the public were deeply indebted to Sir R. W. Carden and Alderman Carter for their very laborious efforts in behalf of the poor emigrants, and congratulated them upon the complete success which bad followed their exertions. His lordship requested that the press would announce the following note and sub scription, which he had received : " tlackwall-yard, Oct. 17, 1854. "The workmen of Messrs. M. Wygram and Sun, ship-builders of Blackwall, beg to forward their first hrtnightly subscription to the fund for the relief of the families of the soldiers, sailors, and marines who may fall during the present war, to be continued for three months, which they request: may be acknowledged as follows :-- "'The first fortnight's subscription of the shipwrights, caulkers, mastuiakers, blaCksmiths, joiners, and sawyers in the employ of Messrs. Money Wygram and Suns, Blackwall-yard, 121. 9s. Bd.' "THOS. NORTH, Secretary t© the Fund. "To the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor." WORSHIP-STREET.—A respectably-dressed person who gave the name of Richard Henley, and described himself as a surgeon, at present residing at Morley's Hotel, was charged before Mr. Hamrnill with having created a disturbance and conducted himself with gross impropriety at the house of the Rev. Timothy Gibson, one of the curates of St. Matthew, Bethnal-green. The complainant stated that shortly after one o'clock on the previous morning he was roused from sleep by a violent knocking at the street door, which was kept up without intermission for a period of ten minutes. Wit ness at length proceeded to the window, and on looking out to ascertain the cause of the disturbance he observed the defendant, who requested that he would accompany him immediately to the house of Mr. Gould, a whole sale grocer in Bishopegate-street, who was in urgent want of spiritual consolation, as he had been attacked with cholera, and was so dangerously ill that he was not expected to survive the night. Believing his statement to be a fabrication, as the elder Mr. Gould resided at Poplar, witness requested a policeman, who came up at the moment, to detain the defendant, to accompany him to the house of Mr. Gould. He said he. had merely knocked him up " for a bit of a lark," and at the same time made an offensive proposition that he should accept a 51. note as a compensation for the annoyance. The defendant also expressed his willingness to offer him a public apology in the parish church, and strongly urged him not to press the cuarge, which must necessarily be attended with ruinous consequences to him, as he was a gentleman and a member of the Royal College of surgeons. The defendant earnestly discfaimed having been actuated by the slightest ill-feeling Vowards the com plainant, and assured the magistrate that he was 1i artily ashamed of his conduct, in which he had in dulged for a mere practical joke in a moment of indis cretion, and he trusted that the reverend gentleman would accept his apology as a sufficient atonement for the trouble and annoyance to which he had been subjected, Sir. Hammill said that the prisoner had been guilty of a most scandalous outrage, and he should order him to pay a penalty of 405., or to be committed, in default, for one month to the House of Correction. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Charles Jolley, a greengrocer in Rose-street, was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with having cruelly beaten Ann Perring, his mother-in-law. The complainant, whose face was hideously disfigured by blows, said the defendant's wife, her daughter, had been obliged to go into the country in consequence of the dreadful ill-usage she had received from her husband. While the defendant's wife was away she had consented to mind the children, and look after the shop, when the defendant was absent at the public-house, On Saturday night the• defendant remained at the public-house be yond shutting-up time, and just as she had stepped over to a neighbour the defendant came to her and ordered her to go home, declaring that he would have the child from her custody that night, r' The defendant wanted to make out that the complain ant was not sober, and therefore was unfit to have chr.rge of the child, He had himself been drinking a glees or two of beer. Mr. Hardwick said the brutality of the defendant's conduct w as aggravated by the fact of the complainant doing him a kindness at the time, by taking care of his child. He should send him for three months to the House of Correction. SOUTHWARK--Robert Randall, described as a journeyman painter, was placed before Mr. A'Beckett, cliArged with committing an assault on a young female. Eliza Webb, a respectable young female, about 18 years of age, who exhibited marks of violence on her face and neck, on being sworn said—l am a boot and shoe binder, and live with my relatives at Rotherhithe. On Saturday night, at a late hour, I had occasion to go into the Park-road, Old Kent-road, and when I got into the Groucester-road I met the prisoner, who carne towards me and made use of disgusting language to me. I avoided him and crossed over the road, when he fol lowed me and said he would give me half-a-crown if I would accompany him on the other side of the fence. I tben became frightened at him, and endeavoured to get tawaythroat, .; when i3 shall acktt h e ep_ushed me down, seized me by the t and attempted t o th rott l e me.

WESTMINSTER. -11r. E. J. Fitzroy, of Hans place, Sloane-street, accompanied by two young friends, anplied to Mr. Arnold tor an assault !.. against .)"fr. Charle.; Westerton, chnrchwardcn of ummon St. s Paul's, KnigatisLridge. Complainant observed that the raagiatrate was pro bably aware that a material differenz.e of opinion had existed for a length of time past amongst the congrega tion of St. Paul's, Knightsbridge, out of which the pre , sent complaint arose. About sixteen or seventeen weeks ago, in conformity with the advice and direction of the Bishop of London, • certain alterations were made in the service—the Litany being monotoned instead of intoned. Many of the congregation were much averse to this change, and, despite the proceeding of the choir, had, according to long custom, chanted the rubrics, and without any molestation, until Sunday morning last, when, upon persevering in their usual mode of performing the service, applicant and several others were assaulted. Applicant was seized suddenly by Mr. Westerton, who laying hold of him by the arm, declared he should leave the church, and that he would pet him out ; upon which applicant replied that if he did so, it would be at the peril of ulterior proceedings. Mr. Westerton then seized applicant by the collar, and at tempted to carry his threat into execution, but appli cant resisted, and several of the congregation having told Mr. Westerton that be was transgressing, he re• linquished his hold of applicant, but not until one of his friends had been dragged out of his sitting. Mr. Arnold thought the matter rather one for an ecclesiastical than a police court. Mr. Fitzroy remarked that the ecclesiastical court was difficult to move, and he had been informed that he had a remedy in the ordinary way at a police court. Mr. Arnold said as applicant pressed for an assault summons, he (the worthy magistrate) would not refuse the application, and accordingly granted the summons. THAMES.—Mr. John Pierce, of No. 11, Caroline place, Marlborough-road, Chelsea, was summoned before Mr. Yardley, by William Lovell, a eab driver, for the sure of Bs. The complainant raid he drove the defendalt and sir. others, from Marlborough-road, Chelsea, to Union street, Whitechapel, on Wednesday evening last. The distance was six miles, and he was entitled to 3s. 6d. for, seven miles, 6d. each for three extra paesengers and 48. for waiting, which was 98. in all, but he only asked for Bs. The defendant, in reply to the charge, said he did not hire the cab, but had offered to pay ss. Mr. Yardley—Who did hire it? The Cabman.—One of the party hired it, but the de fendant, when he got on the box, said, "I shall, pay you, cabby--it's all right." The defendant—Yes, I did say so ; but I did not hire the'cab, 'and am not liable. Mr. Yardley said the defendant's liability was clear, from his own admission, and made an order for the amount claimed, and costs. TEACHING YOUNG LADIES TO SWIM. At the'Ramsgate Petty Sessions, on TueSday, Paulin Huggett Pearce, a bather, attended in answer to a sum inoes, charging him with having, on the Ist inst., bathed in rear of, and within the distance of 50 yards from a certain bathing•machine, from which certain females were then bathing, contrary to the bye laws iu respect to bathing. James BlOornfield deposed--J am a pol►ce constable of the iloyal Harbour of Ramsgate. On Sun day last, at a quarter before nine, I was o❑ duty on the sands. I saw defendant bathing at the rear of two Ma chines, then used by females ; he was about 10. or 12 ' yards in the rear of the machines with two females: 'I .saw him throw himself on his back. I then saw him turn one of the young ladies on her back, and in doing so the ripple of the sea turned up her bathing gowe, which he then put over hrr feet. Shortly after he walked out of the water, and entered an empty bath leg machine standing on the dry laud ; ho had an old waistcoat and pair of trousers on. When he came out of the water, I said to him, "You are carrying on a pretty game—you'll have a summons from me." He then said, " What for—teaching swimming l" I said, No, for bathinge-wittriti' - the — distance appointed fir ladies." His arms and neck were quite bare when he came out of the water. John Edwards deposed—l am a solicitor, practising at 39, Lothbury, London, at the present living at the h.oyal Oak Hotel. On Sunday morning last, between 8 and 9, I had been taking a bath, arid was returning from the sands when my atten tiou was called to what I considered a very extraordinary scene near the place where the ladies were. I saw a per son in the water. At that time I did not know whether it was a man or a woman, but I subsequently saw from the moustache that he was a man. He was bathing with two or three women. The women had bathing dresses on. The man appeared to have nothing on but hie lower garments, his arms and breast being quite naked. It appeared to me that defendant was teaching them how to swim. I saw one lady on her back, and the man was apparently teaching her how to float, for as she came towards him he pushed her by the fact from him. I felt, as the father of a family, great disgust. Thomas Ratcliff deposed—On Friday last I saw defendant in the centre of a group of five ladies, bathing with them. I saw him separate one from the others, and teach her to swim. Twice before, during last week I saw him with two ladies. I have had ladies make complaints to me about such exhibitions. Pearce, in his defence, said that he had been a teacher of the art of swimming for 24-years, and had never had a charge of this kind brought against him, and, infact, was ignorant of the law. lie had never beeh cautioned. He had al.ved the lives of many persons from drowning, and had in this instance been requested to teach these young ladies to prevent such an occurrence to them. lie had conducted himself with propriety, and was clothed then ai he was now. He produced the gowns the ladies wore to prove that they could not wash up. The con tinual shooting of rubbish on to the Sands near to the . . place allotted to him obliged him very often at high water to wade in and fetch ladies out. A gentleman stepped forward and said that, as the father of one, and the grandfather of another, of the young ladies, he was convinced of the propriety of Pearce ;s conduct, and would, did it not tend to infringe the laws, allow his children to go in again. The bench, after a short con sultation, said that they were of opinion that this case did not come under the bye laws, which were framed to prevent indecencies, which had not in this instance been proved. They were not called upon, neither did they express any opinion as to the propriety of what had been described. The case was dismissed. WRECK OF THE STEAM-SHIP PRILADELPHIA. Mr. Gailsby, of Brooklyn, one of the passengers by this vessel, has published, in the New York Tribune, the following narrative of the wreck : " The City of Philadelphia sailed from Liverpool on her first trip for Philadelphia, favoured by wind and tide, at noon, on Wednesday, the 29th of August. The day was fine, and scarcely a single individual of 600 passengers but appeared as happy as though bound upon some pleasure excursion, rather than, as in most cases, leaving home and country to seek shelter and subsis tence in another land. The day following our embar kation we took a last look at the dim cliffs of Old Eng land, and turned our faces toward our western haven. For six days we were favoured with fine weather, clear skies, and smooth seas, and everything bid fair for a prosperous voyage. Our ship sailed and steamed right gallantly along, and we enjoyed all the pleasure with none of the usual dicamforts of an Atlantic voyage. "But I could not help observing that, amid the gene ral I.i'arity, onr commander, though prompt and un ceasing in his attentian to his onerous duties, was evi dently troubled about some matter of grave moment. He rarely retired to his stateroom even for an hour's repose, but paced the deck night and day, ever and anon peering iuto the compass boxes, and then consulting with his officer!, At length, I closely examined those objects of his particular solicitude—the compasses. We had six of them on board, all of which it is said were duly adjusted in. Glasgow and Liverpool, but I discovered that no two of them agreed, some of them varied be- tween five and six points, and the two steering com passes in the wheel house differed from a point to a point and a half. "This sad state of things was undoubtedly to be attri buted to the person pretending to regulate the com passes, for in my opinion, with properly-isolated coin parses, an blots vessel is as easily worked as would be one of wood. On the morning of the 24th of Septeusber heavy rain began to fall, and the atmosphere became so densely clouded that no observation could be taken that day. The same kind of weather prevailed throughout the next day, and again no observation was practicable. About four o'clock in the afternoon, if I recollect aright, en casting the log, the steamer was said to be making twelve knots an hour. "About- 114 ra,..'ea., `visesstwa.fly all the passengers were in their berths, attt the ship was going at the rate of'over ten knots an hour, she rail against d ethiten rock, with a frightful eorronssion. ttaantly the ship was alive ; from every hat*hsray the passengers—men, wo men and childeth—poured over tit° deck in the wildest confusion mid distress, and many of them in an almost is primitive ite of nudity, rending the air with their shrieks and manifesting every symptom of mortal terror. " New the seamanship of our captain and the disci= pline of the crew came into requisitiora Tke engines were reversed, and on taking tionadings it *ski fettnd that the ship was in 4100 Satter on both sides, and that she had struck ikack on her port side, near the cut water. A MAn was stationed at the well, to see how fast tilt water gained, while the carpenter and his crew, /sle'a oakum and blankets, sought to step Vim Wei. But the l a tt er was f oun d to be- initidseibie, as the orifice was some six feet low* by tour broad, through which the water poured in like a cataract, soon filling the fOt ward compartment of the hold to the water link " it was ascertained that the reint upon which the vessel had struck was off Gape Rae; so having taken in all sa il the steamier was backed o# arid hetd ,td for Chance Cove, about seven and a halt miles to the north ward. This cove she reached. However, she had hardly got into shallow water ere the setend kie_'_‘.tait rnent was flooded and the fires extitiviiilisat. During all of this time the sea was as Oahu as a mirror, but the fog was so dense that objects could not be distinguished a ship's length dintant. Boats were launched and a party sent to survey the beach ; they reported it good ) With a fine sandy bottom, whereupon the vessel was run aground as far up as possible, and hut about three quarters of a mile from the shore, and the anchors l'at go.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 17, 1854, THE "TIMES" AND THE LATE FAILURE OF MR. EDWARD OLIVER. On Saturday a notice was posted on the Liverpool Exchange by the trustees of the estate of Mr. Edward Oliver, to the effect that the statements lately inserted in the Times regarding his position were incorrect, and that their appearance was the cause of much uninten tional harm. The sole objects of the Times have been — first, to supply the commercial public with that infor mation which was necessary from day to day in rela tion to an estate of such magnitude as to involve assets alleged to amount to 1,000,0001. ; and, next, to counsel all who might be interested not to allow either them selves or Mr. Oliver to be damaged through any hasty proceedings, under a feeling of panic, at a time when there is ground to hope that an easier money market is approaching. The constant reference to the matter, so long as there is anything to communicate with regard 4) it, is a duty which cannot be departed from, and the only thing that can be done to lessen the annoyance and embarrassment to individuals which all painful circum stances of this kind must create is to use caution in avoiding every idle rumour, and to remonstrate against a hopeless view being taken until every effort has proved useless. This course has been pursued throughout ; and, notwithstanding the allegation of the trustees, no inaccuracies have been inserted. The first reference to the matter was on the sth inst., when it was stated that, although the bills of Mr. Oliver had been returned, it was hoped his assets would yield a surplus of 300,0001., and that, if this should be the ease, ample assistance would speedily be afforded him—an event much to be - desired, since his suspension, if permanent, would bring down others. It was next mentioned that five inspec tors had been appointed, and that, although many con tradictory reports were in circulation, there was an in creasing belief that the required advance would be oh tained. After this it was announced that an arrange ment was understood to have been planned by which Mr. Oliver was to surrender a certain number of his vessels, and to be relieved of 400,0001., of liability. Subsequently, however, doubts were expressed as to whether this could be carried out, and finally it was mentioned that the affairs of Mr. Mllenry, with whom Mr. Oliver had been connected, had been fuund to pre sent a most unfavourable prospect, that they had been brought into Chancery by some relatives, and that in Mr. Oliver's case the expectations previously enter tained of a good arrangement seemed to have been aban doned. The whole of these announcements contained, it is believed, in all material points nothing but literal truth. Those among them which referred to favourable anticipations came from sources supposed to have the authority either of Mr. Oliver or his trustees, and, place having been given to them, it was neceseary that equal publicity should be afforded to all that subsequently tended to a less .favourable termination. It is true that the trustees even now express confidence in bringing about an arrangement by which the assets of Mr. Oliver may be realised in the best possible manner, and the sacrifices which would attend any other process may be avoided ; but this, although doubtless a good arrange ment, so far as every arrangement is good which is the best under the circumstances, is not in accordance with the expectations entertained when a surplus of 300,0001. was hoped for, or even when the parties having claims for ships sold expected to get them back at cost price, and thus to settle all questions. If, after having mentioned with gratification the prevalence of such expectation, the Times had concealed the fact of their having been abandoned, there would have been the strongest ground for condemnation. The trustees of Mr. Oliver are all possessed of too much commercial intelligence to deny Upon reflection the truth of this. They will also understand that the recapitulation now given does not proceed from a desire to question the spirit of the notice they have just issued, but is intended simply to show them that that notice is erroneou , . For their exertions to prevent or mitigate the evil that would arise from an abrupt winding up of the affairs of Mr. Oliver the mercantile public, not only of Liverpool, but throughout the country, are indebted to them, and, whatever may be their degree of success, the Times can have no feeling hut one of satisfaction in recording it.— ' Times City Article. A REGIMENTAL COOK. Some adventures encountered in the course of impro vised service as regimental cook are detailed in an amusing letter from a private in the 7th Hussars, dated from Varna on the 31st ult., and published in the Bristol Mirror : " About a fortnight ago there was an order from Lord Lucan that ten men out of every troop of 70 men were to be cooks, and relieve one another weekly. I was one of those sent to cook, and when we marched from I. 7 nah Buzzar, the cooking was no easy task, for after marching with the rest all day under a burning sun, and having cared for and watered my horse, I, with a subordinate, had to cook and scour the country fir wood wherewith to light and keep up a fire. Many and many were the adventures I encountered in this strange place in search of fuel. I generally used to make for some village, and always took my haversack over my shoulder, in case I met with any bread, or eggs, or cheese ; and my calabash as well, in easel met with that great luxury milk, and, whether I could get that or not, it was an excellent weapon in the hands of an active man, for it has 3 strong leather thong attached to a wooden barrel, bound round with iron hoops, capable of con taining three pints. Any man, therefore, that got a blow from it must ,go down if he got it on the head. I went to one village, and, after looking about for the most comfortable hone or cabin, went to one that had been recently whitewashed, and feund a venerable Turk outside, smoking, of course I asked him for some scmeck (bread), at the same time showing him three piastres ; he told me to go to the door, and called to his wives to serve me. I saluted them very politely, and as one of his wives had got about four or five words in English, and I had about a dozen of Turkish, we got on very well. I bought some bread, and filled my calabash with milk for two piastres ; as for eggs, they were, according to our money, four a penny. I was coming away congratulating myself upon my good fortune, when, is passing the old Turk, and giving him a nod, with the usual salute, 'Bono Turdo,' I was stopped by him, saluted with a tap on the shoulder, and Bone Johnny,' and signs were made to me to go into the house. I went ; the Turk motioned to me to sit down, which I did cross-legged like himself. He then spoke to his wives, who brought out a leg of lamb, with some vegetable marrows, cheese, cucumbers, and vinegar. I fell to with no little gusto, for we had had a long march, with nothing before it but cold coffee (without sugar) and biscuit. After I had done he gave me a chibouque, and as the tobacco was mild I smoked with the Turk. But what surprised me most of all was his bringing out a bottle of English porter. I began to question him as to where he got it from as well as I could, but there was no difficulty—the word Varna settled the question. The Turk's kindness did not end here, for, telling him that I wanted some wood, he put four or five logs upon his araba, or bullock-waggon, and sent a boy with me to bring it back. I must here men tion a circumstance that occurred while I was dining and smoking. A girl, about 18 or 19 years of age, came into the room for some domestic purpose, and stared very hard at me. No wonder ; she had probably never seen an English soldier in full uniform, with the exception of the shake, sitting dining and smoking on the best terms with her grave father. Well, when they all went out to put the wood upon the araba, I went for my haversack, &c., and found her intently and curiously gazing upon the number and name inscribed upon it. She was so absorbed in this task that she did not at first notice rue, nor, indeed, till I was close upon her. She started up, for she was kneeling, and burst into tears, perhaps, as a Turkish girl, thinking herself guilty of some forwardness or impropriety, for they have odd no tions on such points. At this moment her father en tered, and, seeing his daughter in tears, no doubt ima gining that I had in some way offended, perhaps in sulted, her, he directly drew his knife. I started at him and seized his arm, while his daughter spoke to him, and, I imagined, assured him I was not to blame. He, however, ordered her out of the room ; but it was all right, and I was Bono Johnny and he was Bone Turco, as before. I thanked him for his kindness as well as I could, and went back- to the camp, thinking over the fortunes of war." RAILWAY TRAFFIC BETU.RHS.

NOTABIES.—The use of notarial seals would semis to be of English origin. Th e French, like the ph, have adopted, in their stead, a pen-anil-ink device whichh they call a " paraphe," and which is generally of intricate and inimitable form. As the use of seals has become in England the ordinary method of authe n n F tic ance, ating public documents, so has the "paraphe " ir with this difference, that the difficulty .of counterfeiting the latter affords a greater security against may attempt at forgery. " Paraphes " are now comm only used throughout the Continent, not only by notaries and public men, but by persons of every class ; and even the ladies seldom sign their names w ithout a.ttempting a I"flourish of some sort. With a fore i g ner, the " paraphe" is as necessary an appendage to his sig ic3 natv re las the moustache is to his face. — votes and Quer.

Spars, sails, provisions, and fuel were sent ; ashore, tents rigged, fires lighted, food cooked, and everything possible under the circumstances was done for the comfort of the castaways. By night, mattresses and bedding enough for the ladies were got ashore ; for the men, large fires and close quarters bad to suffice. " On the next day most of the passengers' luggage was got out and conveyed ashore ; but in doing this some confusion occurred, from the fact that a party of the crew broke open some of the trunks, and extracted their most valuable contents. These fellows were arrested and put in irons. On the day following the beaching of the steamer the wreck was surrounded by a fleet of fishing smacks, the crews of which watched every opportunity to steal property, and I am informed that they did carry off considerably. Some few of the more 'audacious. got broken heads, and a treat to some scalding soup from the cook and his crew, for their pains. A large quantity of the ship's plate, as also many valuables belonging to the passen gers, were subsequently found in the forecastle of the steamer, where they had been secreted by some of the delinquent crew. " After the effects of the passengers had been got safely ashore, the work of breaking out the cargo com menced ; but this was necessarily slow work, as most of it was submerged in water. " On Saturday afternoon a small steamer, named the Victoria, which was plying between the different posts of the Telegraph Company with provisions, &c., hove in sight, and being signalled by Captain Leitch, hove to, when she was boarded, and an agreement made for the transfer of the passengers to St John's at 5 dollars par head. That night 250 of thern em barked on her, and the remainder on the day following. The luggage was sent after them to the same place in schooners. " The passengers, on arrival at St. John's N. F., were provided with the best accommodations the town afforded, the company incurring the expense of their maintinance and the townspeople demanding double price for every necessary. It was announced that the company would provide for the passengers, as speedily as po suitable conveyance to Philadelphia, and that until that time the expense of their keep would be borne by them ; also that to such as chose to proceed earlier, theirexpenses would be defrayed to Halifax ; 125, among whom was myself, accepted the latter proposition, and came on in the mail steamer Merlin. The residuepreferred to remain for the promised conveyance to Philadelphia. " Previous to our departure from St. John's, a severe storm occurred, which did great damage to the steamer. She is badly hogged, and it is believed that her back is broken. When we left the sea flowed in and out of her, and her cabin and hold were said to be fast choking up with sand. Captain Leitch told me she would prove a total wreck, and that, in his opinion, but little of her cargo would be saved. " A party of military has since been despatched to the wreck to protect the property." THE LOSS OF THE ARCTIC. (From the Liverpool Albion.) The unfortunate loss of the steamer Arctic by collision with the Vesta, and the melancholy destruction of life attending it, is another sacrifice offered to the great Moloch of the day—speed. 99 out of every 100 casual ties at sea are more or less attributable to the go-ahead principle, and Captain Luce and the 350 souls who, it is feared, perished With the ship are its latest victims. Whether it be striking on a sunken rock, running upon shore, or collision with another vessel, the cause of each disaster can be traced to that unceasing anxiety on the part of shipmasters, almost inseparable from their trust, to make speedy passages. The fogs on the banks of Newfoundland are not passed through in a day, some times they extend half across the Atlantic, and to slacken speed when enveloped in them is never thought of, as, were this the case, the time occupied in the passage be tween Liverpool and the American parts would be greatly extended, to the prejudice of the ship ; for goods and passengers, the means of living to the steam ship owner, are both dependent upon the rapidity of the run. The loss, we again repeat, is attributable to the predominant principle of the day, and not to any want of care on the part of Captain Luce, who is a sacrifice to this Moloch. It might almost appear that Captain Luce had a presentiment of some serious calamity ; for, a few days before his leaving Liverpool, he drew, in mcket vivid colours, the great anxieties of a ship master, more especially of one in command of a steamer. There seems a probability that, had he at first been aware of the serious injury the Arctic had sustained, by light ening and listing her over, he might have effected a temporary stoppage of the leak so as to reach Newfound land, but the extent of the evil appears to have been learnt too late. The Vesta, which was coming home to Granville from the French fishing colonies on the south side of Newfoundland, most providentially succeeded in reaching St. John's, her captain's exertions on the occa sion being exceedingly praiseworthy. This melancholy disaster shows fog signals to be absolutely necessary, to give vessels notice of their proximity to each other, and we know of nothing so effectual as a gun ; but at a speed of 13 knots an hour it would require to be -too often fired to insure its being heard by a vessel coming at an equal speed in a contrary direction. There is no question that noise enough can be made en board steamers, but on passengers with weak nerves it might have a very injurious effect, and ordinary sounds alone are resorted to. The steamer Ajax, which ran aground off the Mewstorie yesterday, offers another evidence to the truth of speed being the cause of nearly all these casualties, though this being the second vessel the same captain has run on the rocks within seven weeks, having been in command of the steamer Minerva, when lost near the Skerries, he has something more to answer for, and the Cork Company, to which both steamers belonged, will no doubt investigate the cause of this second accident most rigidly. The Times has unin tentionally fines into error in stating that a large amount was insured in Liverpool upon the Arctic. The steamer herself is underwritten to the extent of 40,0001. in London, 20,0001. in Glasgow, and 55,0001. in the United States. The screw-steamer City of Philadelphia, on shore near Cape Race, and expected to become a wreck, was insured in London and Glasgow. The car goes of both Vessels will be nearly all covered in Ame rica, though one or two small amounts hare been done in Liverpool, not exceeding 5001. in the two vessels. Large amounts were offered in our underwriters' roo ms , but, the premiums not being considered adequate to the risks, they were fortunately declined. LIYERPOOL, MONDAY.—The following notice respect ing the unfortunate steamer Arctic was p os t e d i n th e underwriters' room this morning : "The Royal mail steamer Canada, spok en on th e i morning of the sth nst. by the steamer A ra bi a , ma d e great exertions to communicate with the latter, but the only word heard was `saved.' She then telegraphed the Arctic's number and several other signals, but the vessels were by that time too far apart for them to lee made out." Though it is to be hoped that the Canad a h as b een in strumental in the preservation of the lives of some of the luckless, passengers, too much faith must not be attached to the above, though, at the' same time, there can be little doubt but that the Canada knew something about the Arctic, for she made more than usual endeavours to come within bailing distance of the Arabia. No doubt the Herrmann will bring some gratifying, though per haps sad, particulars eta Thursday or Friday next. MAGDALEN COLLEGE.—A fine oriel window, or rather three windows, rising one above the other, now adorn the river side of the college, which anciently presented rather a blank aspect.

It is in con templation to alter and improve the whole of the southern line of frontage, a work obviously required to be done.

When a bullet happens to be so large as to require hammering to force it down, draw it at once and throw it away, as a bruised bullet will have ragged edges which will cause it to be much impeded, as well as thrown from its true direction, by the action of the air. When you see any one hammering a bullet with his ramrod you way safely set him down as be ing in perfect ignorance of the harm he is doing, or indifferent as .te the result. If the bullet be too small, its range will be less in consequence of a por- tion of the power of the charge having been per mitted to escape in gas between the bullet and the barrel ; its true direction will also be affected, either vertically or horizontally, by its being made to lean more to ono side of the barrel than another, in the act of loading. Some riflemen weigh all their bullets separately, and distinguish them into two or three classes ; those of which the greater quantity are of an equal weight, are reserved for fine shooting, and the others are put by themselves for common practice. This is a very good plan ; for otherwise, the very best aim may prove at times of no avail, in consequence of some hidden defect in the bullet ; for if a part be hollow, the centre of gravity will not be in the line of the axis, and, consequently, its true line of flight will be more or less disturbed,—Hints ahing Rij Bug*, - - COUNTRY MARKETS.

The unhapi murderer then cut his own throat, completely severin g the wind pipe, bet, strange to say, up to 2 p.m. yesterday he wag still alive.
