A communication from Colonel Rawlinson was read, which consisted chiefly of some notes on Assyrian no menclature, in rectification of the statements published by Dr. Hinckes in the Literary Gazette in April and August last. As regards the chronology of the reign of Sargon and Sennacherib, Colonel Rawlinson agrees gene rally with Dr. Hinckes in placing their dates from B.C. 722 to 680; it must net be forgotten, however, that these dates are derived entirely from Ptolemy's canon, and should, therefore, any error exist in the dates of the canon, the conclusions arrived at, though relatively right, will be positively wrong. Col. Rawlinson therefore defers pro nouncing any further *pinion until the verification or otherwise, of Ptolemy's dates has been shown by the astro nomical calculations which Mr. Bosanquet proposes to apply in test of the various eclipses recorded by Ptolemy. Col. Rawlinson agrees with Mr. Hinckes that there were probably two distinct sees of Sennacherib, the eldest named Asshur-nadin-iddin, and not simply Assur-nadin, as read by Dr. Hinckes, and the younger, Asshur-akh iddin, who was the Esar-Haddon of Scripture. Colons]. Rawlinson reiterates what he published in the I thenceunt of the 18th of March last, that Esar-Haddon was suc ceeded by his son Asshur-bani-pal, and proceeds to show that of the three eons which Dr. Hinckes has attri buted to Esar-Haddon under the names of Assur yuchura-bal, Assur-bani-bal, and Shamas-ake-iddan, the two former represent the same individual, and the latter no other than Esar Haddon himself. Dr. Hinckes represents the first two as reigning in Assyria succes sively after the death of their father, and the third con temporaneously in Babylonia ; but this triad is cer tainly fictitious, and depends altogether on a mistaken reading of the cuneiform names. The name Nabu bin-yuchur, which Dr. Hinckes has applied to Nabopo lassar, the father of Nebuchadnezzar, involves a double error—first an erroneous reading of one of the charac ters, which has led him, in the second place, to assign the name to Nebopolassar instead of Nabonidas. The reading of the name in question as Nabunit, and the identification of it with Nabonidus, which Colonel Rawlinson published more than three years ago, has since been abundantly confirmed by a hundred examples. There is, however, just a possibility that the name may be phonetically rendered as Nabo-imduk or Nabo-induk. Dr. Hinckes's reading of this name being erroneous, the other readings founded upon it are equally wrong, so that the names of Nabu-bin-yuchur, Shanlsi bin (Ben Hadad), and Assur-yuchura-bal, together with a number of historical illustrations, must be aban doned. The enly addition Colonel Rawlinson has to make to his sketch cf Assyrian history is that of the son of A.sshur-bani-pal, many relics of whom have been found in the south east palace at Nimrod. The name of this prince may be provisionally read as Asshur emit-ili, and as he probably reigned from B. C. 645 to 625, the Scythian inroad and the destruction of Nine veh by the Medes must both be placed in his reign. A considerable portion of the Birs.i-Nimrud has been . . laid bare, so that the architecture and plan of the temple are clear, but the results of the excavations hare not equalled the expectations formed of them. A communication was also read from Professor Wilson, consisting of a correspondence between him self and Sir J. Bowling, upon the subject of the Buddhist books known to have been carried from India and translated into Chinese, in the first six or seven centuries of the Christian era. Sir John has taken up the inquiry with much zeal, and, with the assistance of Mr. Elkins, a gentleman who is devot ing himself especially to this particular field of Chi nese literature, has succeeded iu obtaining copies of several of the works in question. These works have been seat to England, and with them some notices of their contents. They are of an interesting character, but are evidently not among the most ancient of the Buddhist authorities. One of them is raid to be a Chinese version of the work translated by Burnout horn the Sanscrit, under the" title of " Le Lottus de la bonne loi." Inquiries for other works of this kind are being actively prosecuted, and it is extremely desirable that no hone should be lost, as the Tae-ping-vrang people (the insurgents) everywhere destroyail - librai:is; and books excepting their own, which are compositions of the most ♦ulgar character.

Gs. 6d. 100 _ _ THE COAL PORTS.—SHIELDS, Monday Night. —The weather has moderated considerably, the sea is down, 20 and, the wind having got round to north, about 200 sail 120 of laden colliers left the Tyne for London this evening. -2 The screw colliers got out yesterday afternoon. If the weather is as promising to-morrow, another large fleet of collier vessels will leave the harbour. Several colliers have also sailed from Sunderland, Hartlepool, Blyth, ' and the other coal ports to-day. The shipwrights are still out of the building yards. Tuesday Afteraoen.—The wind is from the west, and the weather looks mere i settled than *hen I sent my despatch away last evening. All the coal-laden vessels that are ready for sea will go out of the northern ports this tide. There are several large vessels for the ports of North Europe and the Me diterranean which will go to sea with the fleets. The tides are good. Coal freights on Nervcastle-quay are from Bs. to Bs. 4d. for London, with long turns, 401. a keel with coals to Constantinople for the fleets, 421. from Cardiff. There is every reason to fear that a bri g , the Wbitwell Grange, trading between the Tyne and Ham burg, has been lost in the North Sea in the late bad weather, with all hands. Her quarter board has been picked up on the Dutch coast, and, as she is much over due, those concerned in her entertain but very slight hopes of her safety. A FRIEND OF RUSSIA.—A. gentleman, living not a hundred miles from Devonshire-place, High Harrogate, and whose sympathies in favour of the Emperor of Russia have made him notable amongst his neighbours was much astonished the other morning to find that his re msidence attracted a very unusual degree of notice. Peo ple passed and repassed, and then sent others to look ; 1 each exhibiting the evident signs of merriment, and a crowd was fast beginning to accumulate, when the party in question began to think it. high time to discover the cause of this unwonted display of public notice. The feeling of the Czar's friend may be better imagined than described on his finding a large placard, on which were printed, in letters of enormous size, the words "Russian Embassy !" Some wag had fastened it on his door dur ing this night. —Leeds Intelligencer. A PLEA FOR TOBACCO.—We read in the Journal de ifontfort—" A short time since the wife of a working Mal of our town being suddenly seized with the pains of labour her husband ran to fetch a doctor. It was a difficult birth, and the accoucheur was compelled to have recourse to the terrible forceps. The operation termi nated, he declared that the child had ceased to live, gave the usual directions for the treatment of the woman and went away. The father, however, was not satisfied that the child was dead, and resolved to try a resusci tating process which he had known to be practised with success on a former occasion. Taking the infant on his Knees befalls, the fire ho rubbed it all over with a soft brush, and, having lighted his pipe, puffed several whiffs in its face. Under the influence of the friction and the tobacco smoke the child's lungs presently dilated, and it is to this hour alive and well." 2 4 T t . h il i li ns l3 : l , Janeiro,o n trl eer 01 ; 11 ; h e M ,r A M IL ai S . —Lnrunron, Taesday.—lt 1 5 parn So ath .A. believed that owing to a mail being despatched on the e n s le ty ri ' e s a s u tea ß n o cs a l l eop; l ß a r il isk st , e f a o m r .s l t h i ip i, Captain G.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 22, 1854. PROMOTION OF LORD RAGLAY. I I l 1 1 - E ARKET , . ' . .P11.18 DAY., The Gazette of last night contains the announcement that the Queen has been graciously pleased to appoint Lord Raglan a Field-Marshal in the army, his commis :ion to bear date the sth of this present November, the day of the last known victory of the Allies. Since the death of the Marquis of Anglesey no officer of the British army has enjoyed this high rank as a reward for actual service, our only field-marshals having been 11. R. H. Prince Albert and his Majesty the King of the Belgians. This is the first instance in which the new warrant regulating promotions for distinguished merit has been carried into effect. Formerly it would not have beea possible to raise Lord Raglan to the highest rank in the army unless he should outlive all all his seniors of the rank of general. Field-Marshal Lord Raglan entered the army on the 9th of Juoe, 1804, as cornet in the 4th Light Dragoons. The following are the dates of his succeeding commissions :—Lieu tenant, 30th May, 1805, 4th Light Dragoons ; captain, sth May, 1808, 6th garrison battalion ; appointed to 43d Regiment, 18th August, 1803 ; brevet major, 9th June, 1811 ; brevet lieutenant colonel, 27th April, 1812 ; cap tain and lieutenant-colonel Ist Foot Guards, 25th July, 1814 ; colonel, 28th August, 1815 ; major-general, 27th May, 1825 ; appointed military secretary to the Com mander-in-Chief, 29th August, 1827 ; appointed colonel of the 53d Regiment, 19th November, 1830 ; lieutenant general, 28th June, 1838 ; appointed Master-General of the Ordnance, 30th September, 1852 ; local rank of general, 21st February, 1854. Lord Raglan received the gold medal for Fuentes d'Onor, Badajoz, Salamanca, Vittoria, Pyrenees, Nivelle, Nive, Orthes, Toulouse ; silver medal for Roleia, Talavera, Busaco, Ciudad Ro drigo. Lord Raglan is the ninth son of the fifth Duke of Beaufort, and was born in 1788. His elevation to the peerage and introduction to the Privy Council took place in 1852. ---w- - nt , 'll.4lT RA.rf,WA TS_ nhaLcrel.. Olonine Prices yester .:ay THE REINFORCEMENTS Yeiterday morning two detachments of troops, be ion-ring to the 41st and 49th Regiments, and amounting to about 1 2 rank and file, under the coalman.' of Capt. Pratt, arrived at Liverpool, from Dublin, for Ports mouth, whether they will proceed to-day for the purpose of embarking in the steamer Adelaide for Balaklava. The 54th Regiment of Foot will embark at Liverpool on Friday, on board the British and North American steamer Niagara, which has been takes up by Govern ment; for the purpose of conveying them direct to the Crimea. A draft from the 9th Foot, stationed at Tralee, con sisting of two seijeants, and 70 rank and file ; a draft of one serjeant and 70 rattle and file from the 41st at Templemore, arid a draft of one serjeant and 50 rank and file from Fermoy, are under orders to proceed to Portsmouth, to embark there for the Crimea . The 66th Regiment are to leave Preston (Lancashire) to embark in the Tamar steamer at Southampton on the 24th inst. This regiment, which only arrived at this port from Canada a few weeks since, proceeds to Gib raltar to take the place of ether troops proceeding to the Crimea from that fortress. The following detachments arrived by rail in Ports mouth garrison from Walmer yesterday afternoon, to embark for the Crimea in the screw ship Robert Lowe, on her arrival here from Woolwich :-3 sergeants and HO rank and file of the 38th Regiment, and 2 officers, 3 sergeants, and 150 rank and file of the 44th Regiment. Two companies of the Royal Artillery— Captain Graydon's and Capt. Oldfield's, embarked yesterday at Portsmouth for the Crimea. This valuable reinforcement t of this important branch of the service numbers 270 men ; the following being the officers who accom pany it : —Capt. Graydon's Company—Captain George Graydon ; Second Captain, A. C. Gleig ; First Lieu tenants, Richard R. Jones and Wolfe. Captain Old field's Company—Captain A. Oldfield ; Second Captain, F. J. Soody ; First Lieutenants, R. H. Champion and Briscoe. The two companies arrived at the railway terminus by a special train, per the South Coast Railway from Woolwich, at about a quarter to twelve o'clock to day, and at about one o'clock marched to the Dockyard for embarkation on board the steamer that was to take them out to the Dauntless, 33, steam-frigate, Captain A. P. Ryder, at Spithead. Orders have not as yet reached the 82d Regiment (sta tionedin Edinburgh Castle) to proceed either to Corfu or the Crimea, but instructions have been given to re inforce with all rapidity, so as, if possible, to augment the corps to the war strength of 1,000 men. At pre sent the 82d scarcely numbers 600 men, its strength having been diminished by several hundred men having volunteered into regiments serving in the East. Large recruiting parties have been for some time almoit daily parading the streets of Edinburgh, and there, as well as elsewhere, considerable numbers of recruits have been attracted to the regiment. In the Edinburgh district recruiting is at present proceeding at the rate of about 60 men per week ; in Glasgow the recent average has been above a hundred, and, though these numbers are comparatively small, the embodiment of the Scottish militia will probably, ere long, excite the military dispo sition in Scotland to the height which has recently been exhibited in many parts of the sister kingdoms. The Drake, mortar-vessel, will take a trip to-morrow outside to prove her mortar fittings, after which she pro ceeds to Sheerness to test her new principle against the old, and then will be sent to the Crimea. We have no doubt of the results, and will report progress. Recruiting is mordsuccessful in Liverpool than it has been in Manchester and its neighbourhood, and within the last seven days not less than 200 billets have been applied for on behalf of recruits in that town. The Indiana, screw, belonging to the General Screw Steam-shipping Company, 2,364 tons burden, and 300- horse power, left Southampton last evening, the wind blowing hard from the westward. She is, unfortunately, short of two or three hands, owing to some having de serted after receiving their advance notes. She will pro ceed to Toulon, as previously stated, to embark 1,400 French troops. The Tamar, paddle, belonging to the Royal Mail com pany, of 1800 tons burden, and 450-horse power, will leave for the Black Sea on Friday. Previous to her de parture she will embark a regiment. They will be con veyed to Gibraltar for the purpose of relieving another regiment for transportation to the Black Sea. The Nubia, screw, belonging to the Peninsular and Oriental Company, of 2,200 tons burden and 450-horse power, is hourly expected with the heavy portion of the India and China mails. She will be immediately got in readiness to proceed to Toulon, having been chartered by government for the conveyance of troops. The following orders have been issued by the Inspec tor-General of Cavalry to officers in command of regi ments and depots, &c. :—" No three year-old is for the present to be purchased. Officers commanding are to use their utmost endeavours to obtain four-year-olds at the present price, 261. ss. With a view to ren dering augmentation recently authorised to the cavalry regiments serving at home and in Turkey (but especially those in Turkey) available for service with the least possible delay, the Secretary at War has sanctioned seasoned horses being purchased at the following prices :—Five and six year olds, 321. ; seven and eight year olds, 4CI These horses must be in ,good condition, and no horse be purchased at these prices that is not at or ce fit to be put into the ranks as regards condition and stamina. A few horses from the class from which cavalry horses are purchased arrive at the age of seven or eight years without being blemished or show ing some defect, veterinary surgeons are to be in structed not to reject horses for defects which will not interfere with a horse doing his work ; and to bear in mind that the object to be attained is to procure a con stitutionally sound horse fit for the immediate service for which he is regaired. You will report to me on the let of every month what progress you have made in the last month in procuring horses, specifying their ages, for the information of the General Commanding-in• Chief.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at from 4,000 to 5,000 bales, in eluding 600 American and 400 Surat taken for ex port. The market closed very heavily, and, com pared with Friday's rates, prices of all kinds had a downward tendency. The sales comprised 200 Egyptian, at 51d. to 10d. ; 700 Surat, at 3d. to 41d., and the remainder nearly all American. Railway Shares were steady. The Pacific steamer with New York advices of the 11th inst. has arrived. Her mails are expected to be delivered at about 1 o'clock this afternoon. The Half-yearly dividend on Russian Stocks and on Swedish Provincial Mortgage Bonds have been advertised for payment as usual. With reference to the late failure in the provision trade of London, a statement of the assets and liabilities of Messrs. Allan and Anderson, shew the former to be only 8,0001., whilst the latter amount to 273,0001. The realisation of the estate, therefore, promises to afford only ss. in the pound to the creditors. Messrs. M'Henry and Co., of Liverpool, will, it is reported, pay only 2s. Gd. in the pound. The assets of Mr. Oliver, of Liverpool, are being rea lised. On the 7th of next month the greater por tion of his vessels will be sold. In consequence of tho boisterous state of the .. weather during the last few days, a very large fleet of colliers has been detained in the north, causing a rise in the price of coal in the metropolis. About 1,000 vessels in the Tyne alone have been so de tained, but a portion have now got put to sea, and with the pressure of large supplies the price of coal may be expected to go down a little. The appearance of the English Stock Market is to-day more in favour of prices, being steadily maintained until such time as decisive news is re ceived from the Crimea, thus [indicative of a de cline. The present quotations are *to ± per cant. higher than the closing rates of yesterday.

JACOB AND THE ALMONERS. A ♦ery large meeting of the governors, committee• governors, &c., was held yesterday at Christ's Hospital, to take into consideration the sermon lately delivered by Dr. Jacob, in which the management of the hospital was freely alluded to. The chair was taken by Mr. Gilpin, the Treasurer. The usual routine business having been concluded, A proposition was made to read some letters from the other masters to the Almoners. A resolution to the following effect was then moved as an amendment by Mr. M`GBAOHY:—" That the thanks of this Court be given to Dr. Jacob for his excellent and well•tiined sermon." Mr. ALDERMAN WILSON supported the amendment. Mr. CLARK hoped that all the documents that had been alluded to would be printed, so as to enable every one to form an unbiassed opinion. Mr. KEMBLI said there had been an attempt to lead Dr. Jacob by those holding office but it had signally failed. He sincerely hoped that the majority •f the gentlemen present would support the preposition of Mr. M`Geachy. Mr. PAINTER opposed the amendment, and dwelt strongly upon Dr. Jacob, who, he said, instead of de claring as he Iliad his peculiar views before the whole of the boys in the shape of a sermon should have laid them before the governors. He thought the best thing was to adjourn the question. (Loud cries of " no, ao.") The Rev. Dr. M'lsTgir, then addressed the meeting, and The CHAIRMAN proceeded to put the amendment of Mr. M'Geachy, namely, " That the thanks of the Go vernors be given to Dr. Jacob for his excellent and well tinted sermon." These gentlemen in favour of the amendment would be pleased to take one side of the court, and the dissentients the other. The result was that the amendment was carried by a large majority. The announcement was received with loud cheers. A. long discussion then ensued, in which a great many speakers took part. Eventually a resolution for the adjournment of the court was moved and seconded — some of the speakers maintaining that the motion for adjournment was an amendment to the resolution just carried ; ethers contending that the resolution of thank , to Dr. Jacob had been carried, and therefore it was out of order to put the motion for adjournment as an amend ment. After a rather stormy debate, the CHAIRMAN put the resolution simply as follows—" That this court do now adjorta." This motion was carried by a large majority. The result. ef the day's proceedings is against the almoners, and in favour of Dr. Jacob. Tiie court adjourned at llalf-paat four, RELEASE OF LORD DUNKELLIN. We have sincere pleasure in giving publicity to the following communication. The public will sympathise with the joy of an excellent and patriotic nobleman; and the public will be glad to learn that even the stern and relentless Autocrat of Russia has his " compunctious visitings "—is accessible to a sense of friendship. Even on the least charitable assumption—that the Czar is merely playing a part—it shows that even he feels the necessity of deferring in some things to public opinion : "Lord Clanricarde has received a letter from Prince Dolgorouky, the Minister of War at St. Petersburg, in forming him that the Emperor, recollecting, with plea sure, the time when Lord Clanricarde represented the zueen, as her Majesty's ambassador at the imperial court, felt real satisfaction in restoring to him his son who, by the chances of war, had fallen into the hands of the Russians. PrinCe Dolgorouky adds, that it had been agreeable to his imperial master to have, in this matter, forestalled the proposal for an exchange of Lord Dun kellin, which Lord Raglan had addressed to Prince Menschikoff, and he begs that Captain Kousowleff, the officer offered by Lord Raglan, may, if he should be in England, be sent to Russia. Lord Dunkellin will, there fore, be enabled shortly to return to active service." WROUGLIT-IRON GUNS. TO THE EDITOR OP TIE TIMES. SIR,—I believe " Wrought Iron" is right in his views about the utility of the gun he speaks of in the Times of yesterday. About seven years ago I made some wrought-iron cannons, about half a ton weight each. They were tried most severely by an eminent firm, who are noted makers of cast-iron cannon, and the result was most satisfactory. I believe they were also tested at Woolwich with equal success (the trunnions were not forged on them). Of the safety of these guns I have no doubt ; the only drawback to their being more exten sively nsod I consider to be their cost. They could be made as large as the Lancaster, or, in fact, any size, but would be very expensive, though not so much so as brass guns. I consider them safer than the latter, as it is well known that the more heated brass guns be come from excessive firing the weaker they are, while the contrary is the case with wrought-iron ones.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, HAMMERED IRON.

FINNEY, Secy. and Actuary WYNNSTAY HALL, DENEIGHSHIRE. — This magnificent residence, the seat of Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, Bart., is now undergoing the process of extensive alterations and repairs. The entrance, which has hitherto been at the side of the lake, will new look towards the front or Llangollen side, the entrance being through the dining room, which has been cenverted into an entrance hall. The whole of the ancient portion of the edifice, which was pulled down a few years since, is now being rebuilt, and, when completed, will add much to the beauty and extent of this noble mansion. There is now at Wynn stay one of the finest hunting studs in the kingdom, com prising no fewer than fifty first-rate animals, whilst the kennel numbers sixty pairs of splendid hounds, the whole forming an extraordinary establishment for one gentleman to keep up. PRICE OF Gor.D.--The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mille discount (according to the last tariff), which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.14 k ; aid, the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.071, it follows that gold is about 0.28 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4231 per mark, which, at the Eng lish Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10Ad. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.4 k ; and, the exchange at Hamburg on London at short being 13.31, it follows that gold is 0.30 per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1091 per cent., and, the par of exchange between England and America being 109 2S-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is no minally 0.17 per cent. in favour of England ; and, after making allowance for charges of transport and difference f interest, the present rate leaves a trifl in g pr o fit on the troportatioia of gold from the IJ_Mt__ed . Stater. SUBSIDIES TO FOREIGN STATES. A Parliamentary paper was issued yesterday, showing the subsidies annually paid by Great Britain to foreign States from 1792 to the present time. The following are the respective totals down to 1816, after which year the pryments, with the exception of about 1,500,0001. for fortifications in the Netherlands between 1818 and 1820, have comprised only those of the Russian-Dutch loan and the Greek loan, which amount annually to about 130,0001. 1793 £8 3 1,273 1805 £35,340 1794 2,550 244 ISO 6 595,847 1795 5,724,961 1807... . ....... 859,032 1796 32,870 1808 2,897,873 1797 1,684,585 1809 2,579,039 1793 127,013 1810. 1799... 849,812 1811 2,367,413 1800 2,613,177 1812 3,908,520 1801 690,113 1813 6,786,021 1802 285,450 1814 8,44'2,577 1803. 212,275 1815 10,024,730 1804 103,423 ,1816. 1,852,695 The extent to which Russia shared in the distribution of the above totals was as follows :-825,0001. in 1799, 515,494/. in 1800, 200,0001. in 1802, 63,0001. in 1803, 614,1821. in 1807, 200,0001. in 1813, 2,169,9821. in 1814, 3,241,9191. in 1815, and 1,096,3551. in 1816. THE ALLIED POSITION. The Allied armies are encamped upon a plat of above four miles in length and six in breadth, but the ground is so high above the neighbouring valleys that a large force on these heights could resist ten times its number. Towards Balaklava the ascent from the plain below is, generally speaking, very abrupt, so that from the sea to the Inkerman Valley—i. e., the valley by the side of which an important part of the harbour of Sebastopol runs—is easily defended. The French have raised a breastwork along the whole line, batteries are placed in well-selected positions, redoubts and redans command certain roads and panes, and where the smallest chance offered for a cavalry passage due protection has been applied ; so that as long as we have an army of the pre sent strength no enemy need be feared in this direction. The plateai on which we rest is not square, but bounded by three curves— one en the coast line ; the second, or Balaklava line, from the sea to the point whence you look down into the Inkerman Valley ; the third, running from that point towards the sea, parallel with the town, and dipping towards the coast, until at last it is about level with the highest part of the arsenal side of Sebastopol. Along this last line, upon spurs of hills running out towards the for tress, our batteries are placed, the French, or left attack, occupying the broad slip spoken of above as level with a part of the town. Of course, between these spurs there are gorges, and these run dow n and meet the sea. plain, which narrows as you draw from Inhj e r n m is ward. The only assailable part of our poessi t towards the fortress; but even t hat may b perfectly secure, considering t he force we a lw e ays d h o a w y nt e ha at t hand, provided ordinary watchfulness . be ex n e a rc m is e e d d. as W fol e . have on the right attack four batteries, lows :—Right Lancaster, Let'? L an caster, Greenhill, and Four-gun Battery , mounting about 30 guns ; and on the left the large Green-hill Battery, with 36 guns, our nearest gun being at least 1,200 yards from Sebas topol. In a dvance we bu have ru . n an approach which is within GOO yards of the enemy , this is not intended aid a battery so much as to form a cover for the to t storming parties whenever an attack shall be determined en. In rear of these batteries, beginning from onr ex treme right, lie the 2d, lst Light, 3d, and 4th Divisions, ready at a moment's notice to repel any sortie, should the covering parties find themselves unable to hold their own. The great difficulty on the English side consists in the rocky nature of the ground, which quite pre vents sapping close up to the walls, and terribly in creases the labour far the poor men. Bet ween us- and the French there is a long and deep ravine, beyond which are the French batteries, finely placed on a level v i'h the high ground of the town, and, as the soil is com paratively deep, the engineer has a better chance. Gene ral Bizot is one of the Vauban school, and is quietly, but confidently, app roac hi ng t h e walls. The batteries defending Sebastopol are five in front and two in the town, a'l mud works, and apparently well constructed. As to the number of guns it is impossible to speak accu rately. There are probably not less than 150 in posi tion, and the injury received from the Allies during the dal is repaired frosa the arsenal during the night. Paid.' 100 Aberdeen ...,... - 8.: Ambg.

The plan, as detailed by Sir Henry Young, the Governor of South Australia, is, that the necessary capi tal, which is estimated at 10,000,0001., should be raised by a loan, the interest of which should be provided for by votes of the three colonies, and guaranteed at the same time by the Imperial Government, and that the lands for 10 miles on both sides of the line, amounting to 12,800,000 acres, should be placed under the administra tion of commissioners, with the view of being gradually realised, one-half of their proceeds to be applied to redeem the loan, _and the other half for introducing labour. The route to be followed would be chiefly along the valley of the Murray, with a branch from Swan Hill to Melbourne ; and the work, it is thought, could be carried on at the rate of 200 miles per annum, and thus be completed in five years. But even this pro posal is moderate, compared with another for the same purpose which Sir Henry Young also forwards as having been submitted to him by Mr. Justice B oo thby. I n addition to the railway , the judge would const ruc t enor mous docks at each great terminus, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide, capable of accommodating the largest ocean steamers, and, instead of 10,000,0001., he pro poses a capital of 21,000,0001., as, with the guarantee of the Imperial Government, the larger sum can, of course, be as easily raised as the smal ler. Looking at either proposition, the whole affair furnishes a new instance of the delusions of communities who expect to be forced into greatness by extra neous help, instead of being satisfied with a steady growth. It also realises the predictions of those who objected to imperial aid being afforded in the shape of guarantees of interest for public works in Canada, since one of the most prominent arguments in the present case is founded on the willingness expressed some few years back by various members of the home Govern ment to adopt that system for the advantage of the North American provinces. It is admitted that the imperial guarantee would enable the money to be raised on terms at least two per cent. below those which would otherwise be practicable, and that even on the 10,000,0001. it would therefore "be equivalent to a grant from the home Government of 200,0001. per annum ;" but, instead of seeing that this would be an unanswerable o bj ect i on, the colon i sts appear to think it an especial recommendation, and it is urged upon the Colonial -office accordingly, the expression obviously being that the credit of the mother country is something that can be universally diffused without loss of any kind. Whenever the time is ripe for such an undertaking as the railroad in question private enterprise will be ready to carry it out, and the greatest injury that could fall upon Australia would be inflicted by teaching her to rely for advancement on other means. Sir Henry Young, by the untiring zeal with which he for years promoted every attempt to open up the Mur ray, as well as by his constant desire to identify himself with the practical welfare of the people, can only have deen dazzled temporarily into a recommendation of the present scheme, since, even apart from its intrinsic soundness, nothing could for a moment be taken into consideration while all the energies of the nation are ab. sorbed in war. RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE IN CHINA. While some of our journalists appear disposed to take up with the ingenious stories sent now from Shiva and now from Sokan about the success of Russian arms in Central and Eastern Asia, the enemy is also not with out soma uneasiness, imagining that he sees our hand busy in the same quarter. We find the following letter in a German paper : ST. PLTIRSBURG, Nov. B.—ln a letter received from Irkutsk, the opinion is expressed that English influence has been at work in the contest now going on in China, and upon the issue of which hangs the fate of the reign ing dynasty. The letter says also, that there is a report in circulation which gives out that Russia is on the point of interfering in China. Bat what can Russia; do there Increase her territory, that is already too large! That can surely net be contemplated. We know, how ever, that our trade with China is a thorn in the side of England, and since the reigning dynasty has protected that trade, the rulers of the seas have no very great sympathy for the Mantshoo, but a great deal for the re bellious Tian-Pyu-Van. If some secretly acknowledged reciprocity did not exist, and which must sooner or later, according to circumstances, come to light, what else could induce the present leader of the insurrection to show such consideration for members of the Anglican Church ? As a neighbour, Russia, however, has a far greater interest in the events now taking place in China. It will not be amiss, therefore, to watch them with an attentive eye, and be prepared for all contingencies. RETURN OF LIEUTENANT PERRY TO WINDSOR. For the last fortnight a somewhat uneasy impression has existed among the contributors to the Perry Defence and Testimonial Fund in consequence of an advertise ment which appeared in the Times of November 5, from Mr. Bedborougb, the treasurer of the fund, relative to Mr. Perry's having drawn a cheque for 1,5001. while in Paris, without first informing him (Mr. Bedborough) of Lis intention to do so ; and that, in consequence of this oversight or act of discourtesy, the petition to her Majesty, praying for a revision of the proceed ings of the court-martial on Mr. Perry, would not be presented. This unexpected announcement not un naturally led to an impression that Mr. Perry had been guilty of something worse than discourtesy or ignorance of the rules of the commercial world. We are gratified now in being able to say that, finding correspond ence was not likely to remove the misapprehension which existed as a personal interview, Mr. Perry left Paris cn Monday, and came straight through to Wind sor, where he arrived yesterday at noon ; his first step was to call on his friend and adviser Mr. Darvill, to whom he fully explained the cause of his having wished to withdraw the sum in question from the bankers, and showed him that, so far from wanting the money to pay off any expenses occasioned by extravagance or folly, it was for the purpose of a safe and advantageous investment, producing► a larger amount of interest than could be derived by remaining at the London bankers'. Mr. Perry then, accompanied by Mr. Darvill, proceeded to call upon Mr. Bedborough, to whom he also entered into a full and satisfactory explanation, apologising, we are informed, in the frankest manner to Mr. Bedborough for his unintentional lack of courtesy. Mr. Perry has also expressed his perfect willingness that the securities of this investment shall remain jointly in the hands of Mr. Bedborough and Mr. Darvill, as proof that the inte rest thereon will be applied to his benefit, according to the evident wishes (;f' the numerous kind friends and contributors to the Defence and Testimenial Fund. It should, perhaps, be added, that Mr. Perry went abroad partly for the restoration of his health after the termina tion of the court-martial, but still more, that he might have the power of going in public without being subject to the imputation of seeking to make a martyr of him self. In Parts, we learn, he met with friends, through whose instrumentality he has been pet in a way of pur suing an honourable civil career, which at once places him in comparative comfort. As a proof that these are things not to be taken on his mere assertion, Mr. Perry has placed it in the power of Mr. Bedborough and Mr. Darvill to test the accuracy of his statements, and has further, in, writing, empowered those gentlemen if they find his conduct, since t he termination of the court-mar tial, to have disentitled him to the sympathy of the pub ' lie, to hand over the whole of the money in the hands of the bankers to the Royal Patriotic Fund. IMPOSTANT RAILWAY CASE.—The Dundee Courier states that Sheriff Logan (of Forfarshire) had just decided that railway companies are not bound to keep gatekeepers to open and shut gates at level crossings over public bridle roads. REPREMENTATION OF AIARTLEBONS. —ln consequence of the death of Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart, a meeting of gentlemen residing in the parish of St. Pancras was held in the vestry-hall, Old St. Pancras-road, for the purpose of considering the best step to be taken to secure a suitable person to represent this and the other sec tions of the borough in the House of Commons. Mr. Farrer, the senior churchwarden, having taken the chair, Mr. Stockton said it was a matter of the greatest im portance that no time should be lost in fixin upon a suit a bl e successor.

It was to be desired that whatever might be the talent of the successor to his lordship, that he would possess as kind a heart. (Hear.) Mr. Turner would not deny the ability of Sir Hamilton Seymour as a diplomatist, but he was not so sure that he was the fittest person to represent Marylebone ; he would suggest in preference another Hamilton, he meant Sir John James Hamilton, Bart., who, it would be recol lected, came before them as a candid ate some years ago. Mr. Turner's suggestion not meeting with a response, the motion was put and carried, Mr. Turner being the only dissentient. Mr. W. D. Cooper and Mr. Stockton were deputed to wait on Sir G. H. Seymour to commu nicate the resolution come to, and to report as soon as possible the result of the interview. Upon reaching the residence of Sir G. H.
