THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEIVIIIER 22, 1854. CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Erie.) Anne Parker, 28, was indicted for the offence of felo niously attempting to murder her child, Thomas Parker. Mr. Lilley prosecuted ; Mr. Parry defended the prisoner. It appeared from the evidence that on the evening of the 11th September a police-constable named White, who was on duty in the Regent's•park, heard a noise near the canal, and on his going to the spot he saw the prisoner standing on the brink of the water with two children, and before he could get up to her she throw one of the children into the canal. She then seized the second child, and was about to push him also into the water, when the constable laid hold of her and pushed her back, and then went into the water and pulled out the other child, who was just sinking, the water at the spot being six feet deep. The constable then attempted to take the prisoner to the station, but she resisted with great violence, and repeatedly ex claimed that it was her intention to have drowned her self as well as the children. The prisoner it appeared was ♦ery drunk at the time, and on the following morning she stated that she came from Plaistow, in Essex, and when she was examined before the magistrate she said that trouble had driven her to do what she had; that her husband had beaten her, and cut her head and ear with a stick on the Saturday before, and that he had driven her from her home, and threatened to kill her. She also said that her husband had been in the habit of beating and otherwise ill-using her for a long time. Mr. Parry made a most earnest and feeling address to the jury on behalf of the prisoner, and Tiarticularly called their attention to the prisoner's statement of the cruel treatment she had received, and he urged that the probability was that in a state of excitement and misery occasioned by that treatment, and which was aggravated by the drink she had taken, she did throw the child into , the water not really at the time knowing what she was about. The learned judge having summed up, the jury re. turned a verdict of guilty, but, at the same time, strongly recommended the prisoner to the merciful consideration of the court. His Lordship deferred passing sentence, in order that further inquiries might be made to see what was the best course to be taken with the prisoner. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Crowder.) Stephen Restieux, who was on Wednesday convicted of having uttered forged notes, and John Wilson, who pleaded guilty to a similar offence, were brought up for sentence. His Lordship, in passing sentence, said that the offence of which the prisoners stood convicted was one calling for a most severe sentence. They were each sentenced to 14 years' transportation. .Richard Bell, luoifer match-maker, was indicted for carrying on a dangerous business in Cannon-street West, and having upon his premises certain combustible mate rial calculated to endanger the safety of the inhabitants. The prosecution, which had been directed by the City authorities, was conducted by Mr. Ryland and Mr. Locke, and Mr. Charnock defended. The proceedings will last the entire day. The charge against defendant was, that he kept upon his premises an immense quantity of lucifer matches, by which a fire was caused in the September of last year. THIRD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) Philip Beeson, 29, groom, was indicted for bigamy with Rhoda Brand, his wife being then alive. The prisoner was first married in 1847, at Lewisham, in Kent, and afterwards, being fellow-servant to Rhoda Brand, he became intimate with her, and, finally, when she went into the service of the Duchess of Cambridge, he followed her there, and persuaded her to marry him ; the ceremony was celebrated at St. George-the-Martyr, in 1852. He was found guilty, and sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment, with hard labour. MARLBOROUGH-STREET--(THIS DAY). ROBBERY BY A SHOPMAN.—Henry Gould, a sh opman in the employ of Mr. Thomas Curryer ' grocer, 27, New port-street, Newport-market, was charged before Mr. Hardwick with having robbed his master to a conside rable extent. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner had been in prosecutor's employ for some length of time, but latterly he was led to suspect that he had been rob bing him to a large amount, and in consequence he com municated with the police, and Martin, SG C, was employed to watch the defendant's movement!. On the previous evening prosecutor marked a hallcro wn and three shillings, which, having shown to Martin, he placed in the till. A short time afterwards the prisoner had occasion to go to the till, and immediately after pros , .- cutor looked and found the marked money gone. He then called the officer and gave prisoner into custody, and, on being searched, the marked money was found upon him. Prisoner's boxes were subsequently searched, and a large sum of money, in gold and silver coin, was found for which the prisoner could not satisfactorily account. Prosecutor suspected he had been robbed to a considerable amount, and begged to have prisoner re manded, The prisoner, who kept praying his master to forgive him, was remanded till Tuesday next. 00U.RT CIRCULAR. BALMORAL, SEPT. 20. The Queen drove out yesterday afternoon in an open carriage, accompanied by Prince Alfred, and attended by her Grace the Duchess of Wellington and the Hon. Elinor Stanley. Prince Albert went out deer•stalking. The Prince of Wales rode on horseback. Mr. and Mrs. Farquharson, of Invercauld, had the honour of dining with her Majesty. The Attorney and Solicitor Generals had an interview yesterday with the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr. Pressly had also an interview with the right hon. gen tleman, at his official residence in Downing-street. TEE DOWAGER QUEEN OF SPAIN. TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN. SIR, —ln your paper of last evening is contained a paragraph headed "The Dowager Queen of Spain," and stating—" It is understood that Beaumont Lodge, for merly the residence of Lord Ashbrook, has been taken for the Dowager Queen Christina of Spain, as the future residence of herself - and youthful family, by her second husband, the Duke de Rianzieres. This estate was re cently sold to a London solicitor, who, in all probability, was employed by the Spanish royal family to make the purchase." As the London solicitor referred I beg to say there is not the slightest foundation for the report that the Dowager Queen Christina is to be the futu.re occupant . of Beaumont Lodge. —I am, sir, your very obed:ent ser vant, SAM.

Intelligence of the death of Wm. Pearith, Esq., has this day been received at the Squadron-house. He was an old member, and universally respected. He was an ardent admirer of yachts and yachting, and has had several yachts built here. The last, the Julia, of 111 tons, sailed in two of the Royal Yacht Squadron matches this season. On leaving Cowes for Sandgate, he ro-, marked that he hoped the cholera would not visit his neighbourhood, as if it did he felt confident that he should be one of its first victims ; which presentiment has unfortunately proved too true.

And where may be seen a list of mune- the direct route to Sebastopol. It does not as y loss et illreferences, comprising eminent ENGINEERING, MANUFAC RG, and OTHER FIRMS, constantly using this well-established appear certain whether they w ill f o ll ow t h e more system throu g hout the metropolitan districts and the provinces circuitous route via Simpheropol—the capital of generally. Taurida, and the place of residence of the Gover nor of the district, which stands in the centre of extensive steppes, almost equi-distant from Khoslov to Sebastopol. This course would be peculiarly suited for military operations from the open character of the country, and the abundant supplies that could readily be obtained during the progress of the troops. The other, or coast-road, would, however, be little more than half the distance, and as it could probably be traversed in something less than half the time has many advantages to recommend it to the leaders of the expedition, and may, there fore, probably be adopted. The town of Khoslov contains about 12,000 inhabitants, chiefly Jews and Tartars, engaged in commercial pursuits. It is said to be garrisoned by 15,000 men, and that there are three recently erected forts, in addition to the old and not very formidable defences. It is difficult to say whether any serious resistance will here be offered to the allied troops, or whether the garrison will fall back, to concentrate their forces for a more formidable defence. Should the coast-road be pursued, they will come to Bald, or Bakschir Serai, formerly the capital of Taurida, and resi dence of the Khan, whose palace is still kept in re pair, and is reported to contain many beautiful apartments. The population, once very considerable, has dwindled to about eight thousand souls, chiefly of Tartar origin, and possibly not very well affected towards their Muscovite rulers. This is also garrisoned. The main contest will, however, probably take place (if at all) on the heights in front, which are defended by redoubts and trenches, and about 20,000 men. These, if reinforced by the garri sons of Khoslov and Baki Serai, might make a de cided, but we cannot help thinking a fruitless, stand against the Allied forces. In addition to these, there is the garrison of Sebastopol itself, consisting of about 10,000 men, which might be further reinforced by the crews of the various men-of-war, if the Admiral persisted in the inglo- rious policy of skulking beneath the batteries. From the above we may easily perceive that the task is, indeed, an arduous one which we have undertaken, and that the time within which it must be accomplished within this season is neces sarily limited. But we dread not the re sult. We look forward with confidence to the prowess of the 'splendid body of disciplined men engaged in the undertaking. The French and British cannons, guns, and bayonets, offer far more convincing arguments than those resorted to by our diplomatists. Once in motion they cannot be stopped by any frivolous pretexts, and with that aid for which all must humbly pray, we dou.'nt not that the result will be equally honowzable to those engaged, and decisive as to the •anjust and preposterous pretensions of the A.LiTOCRAT. THEATRE ROYAL, DRURY-LANE.- Mr. E. T. SMITH respectfully informs his friends and the Publie admirers of Mr. G. Y.

And Monday, 9th, in MACBETH; being positively lila last appearance. Mr. SMITH has also engaged Mr. E. WRIGHT, the public favourite and celebrated Comedian, to appear in his original Farces every Evening after Mr. G. V. Brooke's performance. The Box-office is open for booking places daily, from Ten to Five. In consequence of numerous inquiries, early application is solicited. Unless under very peculiar circumstances, we refrain from offering any comment on a matter that still remains sub judice. Wherever any doubt remains to be investigated before a tribunal deserving of confidence, the public journalist should abstain from any observation that could, by any possibility, create a prejudice or bias in the public mind, or injure the parties concerned in the defence which they might deem it expedient to put forward. We have, therefore, hitherto scrupulously avoided any allusion to the extraor dinary outrage inflicted on two highly respectable foreigners, Madame CARADORI and Signor PAVES; who, at a late hour on Saturday evening, were arrested for a sum of money, for which no previous demand or application was made, and for which they could not have considered them selves in any way liable. It was, indeed, a strange occurrence in this boasted land of liberty, that such a thing should be even, possible—that, on the very uve of the Sabbath, two strangers, claimants on the hospi tality which we proudly boast to be afforded to every meritorious person, should be forcibly car ried off to a sponging-house, for non-payment of a demand of which they had never even heard. Fortunately they were possessed of ample funds, and were enabled to obtain their liberty, on depositing a sum of 381., 221. being for the alleged debt, and 161. for costs. They naturally sought for professional assistance to investigate the un toward transaction, and the result was the trial at the Central Criminal Court, yesterday, which terminated in the acquittal of Mr. BENJAMIN SLOMAN, the party by whom the affidavit was made on which the Judge's order issued. With that verdict we are not by any means disposed to quarrel. From the excellent, we may say unimpeachable, character of the defendant, together with the undoubted fact that the money was actually due by somebody, it would have been impossible to say that he had wilfully and cor ruptly. sworn that which he knew to be false. The mistake of Mr. SLOMAN was that he suffered himself to be made the instrument of others, by means whereof a piece of very sharp practice was committed. Coinciding to the fullest extent in the decision at which the Jury by whom he was tried arrived, and which was in accordance with the charge of the distinguished and truly learned Judge who presided, we pass from the charge to the facts in which it originated, and which occasioned such serious annoyance and in convenience to persons whom we should have desired to treat with all possible consideration, and also to a highly respectable but ill-advised person being subjected to an indictment before a Criminal Court on so serious an accusation. All these evils clearly arose from the undue facility afforded fo4the issuing of Judges' fiat s , or orders authorising the summary arrest of any per son who is stated to contemplate leaving the country. In the olden time, any man could be arrested at the mere will and pleasure of any scoundrel who had a conscience sufficiently elastic to swear to a debt ; whether really due or not was nothing to the purpose. The fearful abuses that arose under this law led to its abrogation. Foreigners were the victims chiefly sought after ; and it was distinctly proved that there was an organise4 confederation, some of whom swore to debts that never existed, while others, under pre text of kindness to ..the innocent sufferers, found " stag bail," at prices that exhausted their funds. The ringleader in this nefa rious conspiracy was detected and sentenced d, QueEe belove to a l ong t ertra of transportation, while the humane rr and saluta'y law that inaugur a t e d th e re i gn of our Babies ng e s nd fo e r av t o he ur f e a d ti t i o re s . top such unjusti poc 33 Y the Ist and 2nd Vie., cap. 110, arrest on 1 12Q w a e s s , Tle however process an w e a x s c enpoti nioinnamllaydea,bwolhisiliched,.altiTlohuegih'e to some extent essential, went f ar t o d epr i ve these of wholesome enactments their efficacy. It was provided that, where it was shown that the de fendant contemplated leavi ng t h e kingdom, or as it was technically termed, departing from the ju risdiction of the court, be might be arrested and held to special bail. ~~~~~~ This " extraordinary power might be ne cessary in some cases where there wer e ample reasons for supposing that the debtor really meant to defraud his creditor by absconding from the country. But tile grounds for the supposi tion should be clearly set forth and strictly i n _ vestigated. A loose practice has, however, gra dually crept in, under which the Judge granting the fiat delegates the duty of investigating the matter to his clerk, who, in turn, only inquires whether the debt is sworn to, and the plaintiff expresses his belief that the defendant is about to leave the jurisdiction. The order is then granted and the unfortunate debtor arrested, very pro bably without notice, as in the case above alluded to. Now this is grossly wrong. The intention of Parliament was, that there should be a strict inquiry, and we earnestly hope that regula tions will be adopted to carry that intention into practical operation. These orders should never more be granted as a matter of course. The accu racy of the demand, the grounds in which the belief as to the departure rest, and the fact of previous application—unless under very peculiar circumstances indeed—should all be clearly esta blished, not only by the testimony of the plaintiff, but also of his attorney. We trust that, merely directing attention to this subject, and showing how the law was perverted under the present sys tem, will be sufficient to abate the nuisance that has arisen, and that it may not be necessary to apply for a legislative remedy. LORD DUNDONALD AND THE COMMAND OF THE BALTIC FLEET. TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN. Sir,—Until yesterday, when I observed the serious manner in which a conversation said to have taken place between the chief Minister of her Majesty's admi nistration and myself is now treated, I did not consider it incumbent on me to " volunteer a formal public dis closure," "in order not to allow such a statement to go abroad uncontradicted," and therefore I now rectify the omission, and declare that I have never been honoured by any conversation or communication with or from Lord Aberdeen relative to the command in the Baltic, or in regard to operations to be conducted in that or any other quarter. Permit me to add a line in justice to Admiral Napier, against whom the " indignant dissatisfaction of the nation" is said to be roused—namely, that success could not have attended the operations of combustible ships against stone batteries firing red-hot shot, however coolly unresisting walls may be leisurely demolished. There is but one means whereby to place the oppo nents on an equal footing, and that I have confidentially laid before the Government, with the hope that a pro tracted defensive war should not linger on, to the disor ganisation of Europe and the ruin of our country.—l am, sir, your obliged and obedient servant, London, Sept. 21. DIINDONALD. THE BALTIC.-' PFAIR PLAY IS A JEWEL." LORDS ABERDEEN AND DIINDONALD AND SIR CHARLES NAPIER. In relation to the Eastern question Lord Aberdeen has sins enough to answer for : there is no use in lay ing imaginary ones at his door ; nor, if it were, would it be honest to do so. Common justice requires that he should be exonerated from certain baseless charges which have been brought against him by some of our contemporaries of hampering by his instructions the operations of the Baltic fleet. The assertion so con fidently made that Lord Dundonald was offered the command of the Baltic fleet, but declined it because he could not get carte blanche, is untrue. The command of the fleet was never offered to Lord Dundonald. The public voice was so unanimous and decided in behalf of Sir Charles Napier that Ministers saw from the first any other choice was impossible. On his part, Sir Charles was so eager to obtain the command that he made no conditions ; but, on the other hand, Ministers, wisely shrinking from the responsibility of hampering him by orders that might prove impracticable, laid no restric tions upon him. One only condition was made, and that probably on account of an impression—created by some " friends " of Sir Charles—that he was likely to act rashly. He was enjoined to run no great risks, unless ' for objects commensurate to the risks run. This maxim his own good sense would have led him to act upon. It is exactly the maxim which a man who "looks to so many moves beforehand" would spontaneously select for his guidance. This injunction —or rather warning—or apart, he had carte blanche given him by the Executive, as the despatches—hereafter doubtless to be called for and printed—will prove. Nor has Sir Charles Napier been recalled from the Baltic. The responsibility for the success of the campaign rests with the Admiral ; any glory it may bring will be his. We still retain our con fidence in Sir Charles Napier's skill, judicious caution, and well-timed daring. But we cannot conceal from ourselves that if the campaign is wound up without some morn decisive action than the capture and destruc tion of the forts at Bomarsund, strong reasons, sup ported by a weighty array of unquestionable facts, will be required to justify the omission. For his own repu tation's sake, no less than for the honour of our flag, and the speedy and honourable termination of the war, Sir Charles Napier is bound at least to " leave his card" at Cronstadt.—Daily News. THE COURT AT BALMORAL—Since the arrival of her Majesty, the progress of the new building has been ex amined, and it is not improbable that some slight modi fication of details may be adopted. His Royal High ness spends a good deal of time sporting, and the usual walks and drives are engaged in by all the royal party ; but nothing has occurred out of the ordinary routine. Lady Marian Alford is entertaining a distinguished party at Ashridge-house, Berkbempstead. The dinner party on Tuesday included the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary, with Lady Suffield and Major Purvis in attendance • the Marquis of Northampton, the Earl and Countess of Clarendon, the Earl and Countess of Hardwicke and the Ladies Yorke, the Marquis of Winchester, Earl Brownlow, Lord and Lady Alwyn Compton, Lord Spencer Compton, Viscount and yis countess Cranley, Sir Thomas Sebright, Bart., Madame de Norman, the Rev. A. G. Woolward, Mr. C. S. Dickens, and Mr. Spencer Wells. The whole of the Southampton steamers, ten in num ber, taken up by Government, were engaged in the Ist, 4th, and sth divisions of the Crimean expedition. Four of these steamers belong to the Royal Mail Company, three to the Peninsular Company, and three to the Ge neral Screw Company. LITTLE WAR PROBLEMS.--fatly, Given—An army of occupation.

BOILER EXPLOSION AT ASHTON.—Yesterday morning about six o'clock a boiler explosion took place at the Mill of Messrs. Bradbury and Co. Ashton-under-Lyne, by which the engineer, James Taylor, was killed. No other casualty happeued, but a large destruction of pro perty took place. The late Postmistress of Birmingham is dead. Her salary was 8001. a-year. The next overland India and China mail, due the lat ter end of this month, should be accompanied by an Australiaa mail, the dates of which should be :—Sydney, July 20 ; Melbourne, July 24. and Adelaide, July 27. POSTAL ARRANGEMENTS BETWEEN PRUSSIA AND ENGLAND. —A letter from Hamburg, of the 14th inst. in 1 7 088 1 8 Gazette, says :—" M. Schmuckert, Postmaster- General of Prussia, arrived here this morning from Ber lin, to confer with a high fu nc ti onary o f th e E ng li s h Post dice, whom he had appointed to meet here. It is said that this interview relates to the conclusion of a new convention between England and Prussia, relative to letters and telegraphic despatches."

SCOTTISH CENTRAL RAlLWAY.—Traffic return for the week ending Sept. 17, 1854 £2,958 1 6] Corresponding week last year 2,586 16 1 LIVERPOOL, THURS DAY .—Th e concluding musical per. formance in celebration of the inauguration of St. George's Hall took place last evening, and was, perhaps, the most successful of the series. The price of admis sion was reduced to half-a-crown, in order that the work ing classes might have the advantage of hearing some of the principal vocalists who had been engaged, and con sequently the rush was very great—far beyond what had been anticipated. The continental advices yesterday describe general firm ness in the appearance of the exchanges, and, although Bone further amount of gold has been sent to Paris, the operation can scarcely leave any appreciable profit. The letters from Rome state that the Pontifical Government have contracted a loan of about 850,000/. with the house of Rothschild for the withdrawal of paper money. From Moscow a heavy failure has been announced, the firm being that of Lukin and Skuratoff, cotton manufacturers, with liabilities for 100,0001. They were in high credit, and part of the loss will fall on this side. _ AN AGED COUPLE DROWNED.—A melancholy acci dent occurred near Droylsden, during the night of Saturday lent— two aged people having fallen into the canal, and thus lost their lives. STATE OF TRADIL—Lace has apparently experienced to some slight extent a share of that improvement which, if to sat in at all, we stated last week might be expected to commence betwixt the 20th and 30th. There has not been yet time to determine the extent to which transac tions may proceed—but we trust that the encourage ment always afforded by an abundant harvest will not be lost upon trade. In hosiery the home trade continues to occasion some activity, in the absence of American orders to the extent which might naturally have been anticipated ; but the same cause as in the lace branches is likely to support hosiery business. In the cotton hosiery trade things are, however, very flat, and nothing at all doing for home consumption, and our merchants are looking with anxiety for American spring orders in the hope that they will be good. A little doing in merino goods for the horns trade, but nothing of any amount; although fancy goods e.re a little more in demand. Merino and cotton yarns continue firm at present prices. — Notting/tarns/tire G uar di alt . KOSSUTII'S PROPOSED VISIT TO NEWCASTLE.—The committee appointed to make arrangements for the visit of M.

LATEST NEWS. THE WAR. CONSTANTINOPLE. Sept. 11.—The Russians still occupy Bayazid. A letter of the 10th, in the Moniteur, says : " Said Pacha yesterday had an audience of the Sultan to take leave, and will embark to-morrow on his return to Alexandria. The reception given to the new Viceroy of Egypt at Constantinople has been most cordial." THE PR INCIPALITIES. - - The Turkish commissioner at Bucharest, Dervish Pacba ' has received orde rs f rom C onstant i nople to proceed to Moldavia as soon as the Principality is completely evacuated. English engineers are now surveying the country between Rassova and Kus tendje, the Porte having consented to the construc tion of the canal from the Black Sea to the Danube at these points. The Russian subjects at Galatz are under the protection of the local authorities. The Prussian Correspondence has a letter from Jassy, of the Bth, thus worded " Great animation has lately prevailed in Jassy. The streets and shops were filled with Russian officers and military functionaries, who made considerable purchases of linen, jewellery, gold and silver plate, watches, and German and French books (?). Innumerable waggons, laden with grain, flour, groats, and brandy, passed the town en the way to Skuleny. Prince Gortschakoff ar rived here on the sth, with a numerous staff, and re viewed the troops in the neighbourhood on the 7th. These, opnsisting of 1,600 men, with 32 field-pieces, marched towards Bessarabia on the night of the 7th-Bth; on the Bth the Prince moved to Podulor to inspect the troops stationed there,• whence it is said he will proceed direct to Skuleny. General Dannenberg's corps will come here on the Bth. Quarters have been already taken for his cavalry in the town (?) General Budberg is to leave for Kischeneff on the 9th." THE BLACK SEA.. A letter fram Warsaw, in the Cologne o...vette, sap :—" There recently appeared in the journals an order of the day, attributed to a governor of Odessa, named Krusenstern, in which certain mea sures of precaution are recommended, and in which, he says, that he would destroy the town if it should fall into the hands of the enemy. Gene ral Krusenstern is not the governor of Odessa : it is General Annenkoff, who, since the departure of General Osten-Sacken, has filled that post. It appears that so premature a supposition of the possibility of the capture of Odessa is inconsistent with what the Russians so loudly everywhere pro claim of the invincibility of Holy Russia, and with the recent announcement in the official journal of St. Petersburg, that the government had ordered the establishment at Odessa of a military hospital for 3,000 men." EIIPATORIA. The following description of the place selected for the landing of the allied troops will be found interesting :- Eupatoria is situate on a low, flat, sandy beach, stretching along the northern side of a semi-circular roadstead. The lazaretto is to the west, and. extends as far as the pro jection, which throws out a sandbank. Between it and the town there are several windmills. They are also seen to the south, between the town and a great salt lake named Sak. Towards the south-east of the roadstead the summits of several of the mountains of the south coast of the Crimea— among the most remarkable being the Tchadir-Dagh —may be seen. The lake Sak covers a considerable extent of ground to the eastward of the city, and is separated from the sea by a narrow neck of land. As our army will march southward from this point, a few words as to the coast-line may be opportune. The great road from Eupatoria to Sebastopol is a remarkable one, never leaving the coast more than three or four miles. Leaving Eupatoria the coast is more elevated, and rises progressively to the south. At 22 miles south, 18 deg. east ofEupatoria, the cape Loukoul forms a remarkable projection by its per pendicular shores of little elevation, and of a red dish tint. It is 13 miles to the north of Sebasto pol. The town has some coasting trade with Kher son, Odessa, and other places. The population is about 10,000. The town exports corn, salt, butter, hare-skins ' hides, wool, wine, and salt ; a special article of trade is black lamb-skins. Before it was destroyed by the Russians in the last century, the population was 15,000. Salt is made in the take, but it is not equal to that of Perekop. There is an old manufacture of leather. This town came into the possession of the Russians in 1784. At Loukoul the coast is divided by two thickly wooded valleys, down which run the rivers Kacha and Belbek. These have to be crossed. A great church is erected in the last of these valleys. Mountains rise in triple rows towards the east, and the table lands of the summits, with their white edges, give them the appearance of fortifi =bons. The Tchadir-Dagh is likewise remarkable here on account of its form and isolated position. After crossing the Belbek, it is probable that the array, by a detour to the east and south, will arrive on the land side of the great Russian stronghold, awl pro ceed at once to its regular investment. The fleets on the seaward face of the town and works are it,rying the effect of theirlongrange guns on forts Constantine and Alexander. The town of Sebastopol is com manded from the land side by a chain of elevations, which, unless recently fortified, are merely used for telegraph stations and look-outs. It is the opinion of many military men that the Russian fleet of line-of-battle ships and steamers in the har bour and careening bay may be forced out to sea or destroyed by the long practice of our Paixhans and Moorsom shells, while the other operations of a regular siege are in progress. THE BALTIC. A letter from Stockholm of the 12th, in the Hamburg Correspondent, says : "A journal pretends that Helsingfors is menaced on the land-side, and the Aftonbladet says that .Romno and Nystadt, in the Gulf of Bothnia, hav 0 been attacked. It appears, in fact, that a landing was effected near Ulriscaborg, ou the southern p oint of the tongue of land on which Helsingfors is sit uated, and in front of which Sweaborg stands ' • tht it bat teries were raised there which burnt and destroyed a considerable number of gun-boats stationed in that port, and that the village also was burnt down." The Hamburg News contains a letter from Stockholm of the 14th, which says :—" Yester day, near Grislehamm, a sharp cannonade was heard in the direction of the south. As the fleets have left Aland, it is difficult to know what icould have caused this cannonade." A letter from Copenhagen of the 18th states that the French war steamer the Daim arrived them the day before from the south. A letter from Ny borg of the same date states that the French war steamer the Laborieux had left for Langelands Belt, and the French war steamer the Goeland for Drage& DANTZIC, Thursday, Sept 21.—The Bulldog has arrived. She left the fleet at Ledsund on the 19th. The French fleet was gone. The Aus ter litz got on the Stockholm rocks on the 20th. She threw her guns overboard and got off. RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 14.—The whole second division of the Guards, the second brigade of artil lery of the Guards, and the Hussar regiment of the Guard, has been inspected by the Emperor, and m iached to share in the campaign of the south. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, ,sept. 19.—Spener's Journal has the following relat;ve to the contradiction that exists, or appears to exjst, between the contents of tho Prussian circular the 3d inst. and the assurances of an opposite tenour, b jmultaneouslygiven in direct and unequivocal:terms the envoys of France, England, and Austria at B el .liu, of which the Jour nal appears, however, t o b e ignorant : " It is supposed," says Spener, Wet a contradiction exists between the Prussian despatch` of the 3d of September and the instructions addressed to the Prus sian envoys at Vienna, London, and Paris. We must, however, question this view of the case, because in the circular of the 3d attention is drawn to the position which the Confederation should assume in regard to the four propositions of the Western Powers ; whilst in the instructions addressed to the envoys, on the 6th of September, the groundwork of the thought is that efforts should be made to bring about an arrangement between the belligerent Powers by further deliberation, and to consider whether the evacuation of the princi palities having been completed by the Russians new mediatory propositions might not be made." The Weser Gazette, under date of Berlin, 16th, says :—"lt has been stated that nego tiations between Prussia and Austria are still pending, but that they are rapidly advancing towards a satisfactory solution. Unfortunately the former of these assertions is more certain than the latter. Since the reply of the Cabinet of St. Petersburg, and particularly since the declaration of the latter, that it would remain on the defensive, although that declaration has no great value, being founded only on strategic motives, the points of view in which the two great German Powers have placed themselves are far removed one from the other; the susceptibilities which exist on both sides will not con tribute to render an undertaking easy, and if the co-operation of the Diet of Frankfort becomes necessary to attain that object, it will be still more ----. difficult. There are certainly some symptoms which indicate that a change may take place in Prussian policy, but that will not be very quickly, for the result of the expedition to the Crimea will be first waited for." M. de Bismark Schonhausen, Prussian envoy to the Diet, has returned from Pomerania to Berlin, and will probably return to Frankfort as soon as Prussia and Austria have come to an understand ing upon the pla n t o b e a dh ere d toin regard to the attitude to be assumed by the Diet. This will de pend in a great measure upon the issue of the Black Sea expedition. AUSTRIA. VIENNA , Sept. 18.--The Austrian Correspon dence contains a private telegrahhic despatch from Jassy, dated the 15th inst., which informs us that Prince Gortschakoff would leave that capital for Skuloeny on the following day. On the 14th inst. he confided the Government affairs of Moldavia to the administrative council, which is presided over by the Grand Logothete and Minister of the Home Department, M. Constantine Stourdza. Prince Stirbey, hospodar of Wallachia, arrived here yesterday. The Turkish Ambassador, Arif Effendi, has presented to him the Sultan's Authorisation to resume the reins of his adminis tration. The Prince intends taking his departure for Bucharest on the 25th. He has been nearly a year at Vienna." A letter from Venice, in the 111 oniteur, states that important changes have just been made at Trieste in the general command of the navy, and others are about to follow in the civil government of the province. The Archduke Ferdinand Maxi milian, brother of the Emperor,, has been ap pointed commander-in-chief of the Marine. The successor of General de Wimpffen as civil governor of the Marine is not yet known. Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress will probably return from Ischl in the course of this week. FRANCE. THE LANDING OF THE ALLIED ARMY. The Moniteur says :—" We give with all reserve the following news which was received, last evening by private telegraph : "VIENNA, 20th.—A letter from Constantinople, 16th, states that, on the 14th, 25,000 French, 25,000 English, and 8,000 Turks, landed at Eupatoria without meeting with any resistance, and immediately marched on Sebas topol. The transports had returned to Varna to fetch the corps of reserve." Although the illoniteur says it gives this news with reserve, we may reasonably suppose that it knows the source to be respectable. The qualification of reserve has probably been con sidered necessary, only because the account had not come from an official source. Another private telegraphic despatch from Vienna, dated yesterday afternoon, which has been sent round to the Paris journals, says :—" 58,000 men landed on the 14th on the coast of the Crimea. They took possession of Eupatoria without meeting with any resistance, and marched directly on Sebastopol. The funds at Vienna rose, after the regular business hours, one per cent." Eupatoria, called by the Russians Kosloz, is about 25 English miles in direct line to the northward of Sebastopol, at the bottom • the small Bay at Kalamita. The port is narrow, but, safe. A third private telegraphic despatch, dated Vienna this day, repeats the news given above, and states that the reserve at Varna, for which a division of the fleet had returned, consists of 15,000 men. The Emperor of Austria has re turned, says this despatch, to Vienna. The Emperor and Empress arrived at the Tuileries yesterday evening at nine o'clock. Their Majesties are in excellent llealth. A letter from Compiegne, in the Journal de St. Quentin, says :—" The Emperor and the Empress are' expected here towards the end of the present week, and it is said that their Ma jesties will remain here much longer than was at first supposed. If our information is correct the Empress will reside here the whole of the month of October, as the Emperor can arrive in a few hours from this place at Boulogne to direct the manoeuvres at the camp of the army of the North." The Moniteur says :—" The sanitary state of Paris has considerably improved within the last few days, and it may be considered that the epidemy, which, however, has never been serious, is drawing to an end. The number of cholera cases admitted into the civil hospitals was only 8 on the 14th, and 8 on the 15th, rand the number has since fallen, for the two following days, to 6 and 4." There is rather more interest in the leading columns of - the Paris journals of this day than there has been for some days previously. The Siecle has an article on the last hatti-scheriff of the Sultan against the corruption of public functionaries. The following is the article : "When, some time ago, we endeavoured to point out the true character of the war now carrying on in the last; and when we called it a war of liberty and civili sation, we did not fear to meet with opponents. To the situation of Turkey was opposed the precocious and fac titious civilisation of the empire of Russia, and in mat ters of administration there was placed on a parallel with the Muscovite hierarchy what it was thought proper to designate as the Ottoman chaos. When the provinces which form the object of litigation was spoken of, it was said that between two despots it was of little consequence which of the two masters had them under his yoke. If we mentioned reforms already effected or announced others which were in contemplation, the strength of the old Turkish party was brought forward against us, and it was said that that party could only he put down by force, and that a recourse to force would lead to the f4l of the Sultans. These were sinister predictions, and it was besides said that the population already viewed with displeasere the progress of the civilisation of the West among them ; conspiracies were talked of, and fears were even ex pressed for the throne of Abd-ul-Medjid. If the Turkish Government itself was mentioned, it was said that it promised much, but would do nothing, and that it would be paralysed in its best intentions by those around it. When we carried the thesis on another ground, and said that the war against the Czar was a war of liberty, as it was carried on against the greatest despot in the universe, we were replied to by the past state of Turkey being brought forward, by provinces formerly ravaged, and by the slavery to which certain populations had been so long subjected. We cannot call to mind all the insults which one journal, since become more wise, launched forth against us ; that journal called us Mussulrnans, and accused us of defending the Koran at flap expense of the Gospel. Facts have arrived, and every day occur, to justify the sanctity and grandeur of the cause that we defended. That cause is evidently that of nations, and of their pro gressive emancipation. Thus Russia and Austria are by their conduct causing words of liberty to mur mur in the ear of Poland. The Roumanians of the Principalities approach the hour of salvation. The Greek religionists have no longer any protectorate to envy ; they are under the protection of the whole world. On the other hand, Russian despotism, by its excesses and by its desperate resolutions, render itself more and more odious to all those who make a profession of humanity. The defenders whom it once had have become by de grees silent both in France and in Germany. Thus we say, that whatever may be the issue of the war—and we hope it may be favourable—that war will have been most profitable for liberty and for civilisation. If any doubt still remained, it is only necessary to read the document by which the Ottoman Government has just shown that it is equal to its mission from the providential assistance furnished to it by the two great nations of the west, With a magnanimity almost un exampled it the annals of Governments, the Sultan here publicly places his hands on the wounds of his empire. He does not fear to avow what are the rea sons which have retarded the entrance of Turkey among civilised nations. He goes straight to the point, giving in some measure the rudest lessons to some Eu ropean Governments which have hesitated on the road of resistance. Wounds pointed out so clearly and con scientiously are wounds half cured." (The Siecle here gives the text of the Hatti-Scherif of the Sultan, and con eludes as follows) : _ ,, Thus vanish all th e pre j u d ices which had been conceived and intentionally propagated for the greater triumph of Muscovite ambition ; thus are overthrown the violent attacks of those who declared the regeneration of the Turkish empire to be impossible. The united fleets and armies of Great Britain and France may now strike the great blow at Sebastopol; they are certain of only acting for the cause of civilisation and progress; they are assured th a t th ey on l y f i ght for a cause worthy of the mission of the two great nations of the West. The Sultan has given undoubted pledges to the principles which form the basis of the public law of Europe.

A letter from Florence states that the reigning Duchess of Parma, for the purpose of attracting !tncl facilitating the circulation Gf it has just created a Bank, the capital of which is divided into shares, some 0 which her Royal Highness has taken in her own name and in those of her sons. The ministers, public functionaries, and other per' sons of distinction have followed the example.

(LT- LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1854. Official intelligence has been received of the unopposed landing of 58,000 of the Allied Forces, consisting of 25,000 English, 25,000 French, and 8,000 Turks, at Eupatoria, the modern Khoslov, or Karsloff, in the Crimea. The dis embarkation was safely effected on the 14th instant without any serious casualty ; and it is said that the troops had forthwith commenced marching on Sebastopol. As this account comes from the war department, and is completely corroborated by other independent communications from Vienna, and as an official despatch to the like effect was last evening posted up on the Bourse at Paris, founded on a communication from - a e Austrian Internuncio at Constantinople to General CORONINI at Bucharest, we may implicitly rely on its accuracy. The first great step has thus been taken, and, according to the old proverb, " half the undertaking may be regarded as accomp lished." The chief difficulty has been successfully encountered without any serious impediment or loss. These felicitous results may, under PRO VIDENCE, be attributed to the very judicious ar rangements entered into by the Commanders, and also in no ordinary degree to the profound silence as to the point of destination. It was almost universally supposed that a place much nearer to Sebastopol would have been selected, and Balak lava, a short distance to the east of the Great Arsenal, was generally hinted at. It would ap pear that the Russian Generals were completely deceived, so that all the preparations made for giving a warm reception to the Expedition were, in a great degree, thrown away. The Russians, who entertain a profound contempt for human life, could scarcely conceive that parties would prefer a march of some thirty or forty miles addi tional rather than consent to the sacrifice of a few hundred men. But the best and most gal lant Generals are invariably the most chary of any needless destruction of their troops, and we may regard the safe landing of so large a body of men as a most auspicious commence ment of the Autumnal Campaign in the Crimea-- one no less creditable to the generalship than to o the humanity of Marshal Sr, A_RNIUD and Lord EA.GLA.N. It was, indeed, no ordinary achievement. To near ly sixty thousand bringtroops a distance of some three hundred miles, and land them w ith out casualty of any kind, on a hostile coast, we ll garrisoned by disciplined forces, was an exploit that might have astonished our forefath ers . But, the almost miraculous development of steam_ powc,r enables us to overcome many impediments tl-,at in the olden time would have been regarded as perfectly insuperable. Before the era of Ste am Navigation the best-devised plan might be de feated by contrary winds or calms. Numerous elements had to be taken into the calculation, which may now be dispensed with. At 13:11tchik the steam vessels took the various sailing tran sports in tow, each steam-ship having two othrirs attached, and thus dropped down on the Wes tern point of the Crimea, Cape Tarkan, from whence they dropped along • the coast, availing themselves of the breeze which prevails in the Euxine &trine , the summer, with almost the regularity of a trade wind. The point selected for the disembarkation, al illou:;it about 40 miles distant, on the N.N.W., from Sebastop o l, was in all other respects pecu liarly' suitable.
