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 Rhoslov, or Kursloff, 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 the Austrian Internuncio at Constantinople to General CORONTNI 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 lows. These felicitous results may, under Pao- TIDENCE, 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 seine thirty or;, forty miles addi tional rather than consent to the sacrifice of a few hundred men. But the best and most gal lant. Geuerals are invariably the most chary of any neekileg3 destruction of their troops, and we m ay regard the safe landing of so large a body of w on as a most auspicious commence ment of the Autumnal ; . uamp . l,l l ga in the Crimea-- one no less creditabl e to the generalship than to the humanity of Ma.TahaL ST.: ARNAUD and Lord RAGLAN. It was, indeed, no ordinary achievement. To . bring nearly sixty thousaild troop s a distance of some - three hundred andlaud them without kind, on a ho s til e coast, well casualty 'of any garrisoned by. di sc i p li n ed forces, was an exploit that might have astonished our forefathers.. Bat the almost miraculous development of steanl-Po - wer enables us to overcome many impediment s t h at in the olden time would have been regarded as perfectly insuperable. Before the era of Steam Navigation the best-devised plan might be de feated by con t rar y w inds o r calms. Numerous elements had to be taken into the calculation, which may now be dispensed with. At Baltchik the steam vessels took the various sailing tran sports in tow, each steam-ship having two others attached, and thus dropped down on the Western point of the Crimea, Cape Tarkan, from whence they dropped along the coast, availing themselves of the breeze which prevails in the Euxine during the summer, with almost the regularity of a trade wind. The point selected for the disembarkation, al though about - 40 `miles distant, on the N W •_ • •, from Sebastopol, was in all other respects peen iiakly suitable. An extensive - salt marsh, only, separated from the - sea by a narrow-strip of land, the whole of which could be covered by the guns of the fleet, prevented any serious opposition in the first instance to the disembarkation, and gave the troops a strong position, which they could easily hold against any assailants until the entire body had been placed on terra firma. The men immediately mat-Oiled in a southerly direction, in the direct route to Sebastopol. It does not as yet appear__ certain whether they will follow the more circuitous route via Simpheropol—the capital of 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 mon, and that there are three recently erected forts, in addition to the old and uot 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 Baki, 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 eightthousand 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 Bald 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 he accomplished within this season is necesr sarily limited. But we dread. not the re- , suit. 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 convincitg 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 doubt not that the result will be equally honourable to those engaged, and decisive as to the unjust and preposterous pretensions of the AUTOCRAT. Unless under very peculiar circumstances, we refrain from offering any comment on a matter that still remains sub judice. Wherever any , doubt remains to 3e 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 OARADORI and Signor PAVESI, who, at a late hour s 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 eve 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 v. ere 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 alsa 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 forthe issuing of Judges' fiats, or orders authorising the summary 'arrest of any per son who is stated to contemplate leaving the cuuntry, ' 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. Foreigeers . Were the victims chiefly sought after ; and it was distinctly proved that there was an organised 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 to a lon g t erm o f t ranspor t a ti on, w hil e th e h umane and sal u t ary l aw that i naugurate d t h e re i gn of our belo ve d pr oceed ' QUEEN- endeavoured to' stop such unjusti fiablemesne processan By the 1 st 'ng a s for the future. war;', however, an ex to some extent ease t• 1 2nd Vie., cap. 110, arrest on was nominally abolished. There exception made, which, although n ia , went far to deprive th ese wholesome enactment s of their efficacy. It was provided that, where it was shown that the de- fendaut contemplated leaving the kingdom, or, as it wa technically termed, d epart i ng from the ju risdiction of the co urt, he s might be arrested and held to special bail. This extraordinary . power might be ne cessary in some cases where there were ample reasons for supposing that the debtor meant to defraud his creditor by absconding from the country. But the grounds for the supposi tion should be clearly set forth and strictly in vestigated. A loose practice has, however, gra dually crept in, under w - hich 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 TEE BALTIC FLEET. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 22, 1854. TO THE EDITOR OV 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. D UND ONALD. TIIE BALTIC.-"FAIR PLAY IS A JEWEL." LORDS ABERDEEN AND DUNDONALD 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 i " 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 bad 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 more decisive action than the capture and destruc tion of the forts at Boixiarsund, strong reasons, sup ported by a weighty array of unquestionable facts, will be required to justify the omission. For his own repo- . tation s sake, no less than for the honour of our flag,', and the speedy and honourable termination of the war,l 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 sp . orting, 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, Berkhempstead. 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 Northampt on , the Earl anti 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 Vis 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.—IetIy, Given—An army of occupation.

POSTAL ARRANGEMENTS BETWEEN PRUSSIA AND ENGLAND.—A letter from Hamburg, of the 14th inst., in Voss's Gazette, says :—"M. Schinuckert, Postmaster- General of Prussia, arrived here this morning from Ber lin, to confer with a high functionary of the English Post. office, 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."

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 sbine 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 abbot 850,000/. with the house of Rothschild for the withdrawal of paper money. From Moscow a heavy failure has been announped, the firm being that of Lukin and Skuratoff, cotton manufacturers, vfith liabilities for 100,0001. They were in high credit, and part of the loss will,fal4a this,side. AN AGED COUPLE ,DROWl4l); ; 44.;melancholy acci dent occurred near Dreylideti, tlie• night of Saturday last—two aged peOfile havii4 fallen into the canal, and thus lost tlniir STATE OF TRADE.—Lace has apparently experienced to some slight extent a share of that.improvement which, if to set 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 Ivith anxiety for American spring orders in the hope that they will be good. A little doing in merino goods for the home trade, but nothing of any amount; although fancy goods are a little more in demand. Merino and cotton yarns continue firm at present prices. -,-Nottivahamshire Guardian. - KOSSUTH'S PROPOSED VISIT. TO NEWCASTLE.—The committee appointed to make arrangements for the visit of M. Kossuth to Newcastle have just received a letter 6om him stating, that in the present crisis of the Eastern war, it is, in ,his opinion, most advisable to wait the ,i4aue_of the visit to Sebastopol before addressing the in. likbitants of that district. 'CRIMINAL COURT-(TII.1S 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 polioe-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 threw 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 very 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 bad 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 particularly called their attention to the prisoner's statement of the eruel 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 'wort. 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, lucifer 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 Rhuda 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-STREAT-(THIS DAY). ROBBERY' BT A SHOPmes.--Henry Gould, a shopman 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, 86 C, was employed to watch the defendant's movements. On the previous eveningprosecutor marked. a half-crown 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 prose 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 bad 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. COURT CIRCULAR. BALMORAL, SEPT. 20. The Queen drove out yesterday afternoon in an open carriage, accompanied by Prinee Alfred, and attended by her Grace the Duchess of Wellington and the Hon.

Mr. Pressly had also an interview with the right hon. gen tleman, at his official residence in Downing -street. THE DOWAGER QUEEN OF SPAIN. TO THE EDITOR OF 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 youthfill fancily, 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 to, I beg to say there is not the slightest foundation for the report that the Dowager Queen Christina is to be the future occupant of Beaumont Lodge.—l am, sir, your very obedient ser vant, SAM.

Intelligence of the death of Wm. Poarith, Esq., has this day been received at the Squadron-house. He was a❑ 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 re marked that he hoped the cholera would not ♦isit 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.

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 PRINCIPALITIES. The Turkish commissioner at Bucharest, Dervish Pacha, has received ord ers 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, lade❑ with grain, flour, groats, and brandy, passed the town on 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, consisting 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 Gazette, says :—" 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." EUPATORIA. The following descriptio . n 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 lake, 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 fortifications. The Tchadir-Dagh is likewise remarkable here on account of its form and isolated position. After crossing the Belbek, it is probable that the army, by a detour to the east and south, will arrive on the land side of the great Russian stronghold, and pro ceed at once to its regular investment. The fleets on the seaward face of the town and works are trying the effect of th eir lon g ran ge 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, have been attacked. It appears, in fact, that a landing was effected near Ulriscaborg, on the southern point of the tongue of land on which 11€21singfors is situated, and iu front of which Sweaborg stands • that 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 could have caused this cannonade." A letter from Copenhagen of the 18th states that 'the French war steamer the Daim arrived there the 'day before from the south. A letter from Nyborg lof the same date states that the French war steamer ithe Laborious had left for Langelands Belt, and 'the French war steamer the Goeland for Dragoe. DANTZIC, Thursday, Sept 21.—The Bulldog has 'arrived. She left the fleet at Ledsund on the 19th. The French fleet was gone. The Auster 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 marched to share in the c a mp a i gn o f th e south. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Sept. 1 9.—Spener's Journal has the following relative to the contradiction that exists, or appears to exist, between the contents of the Prussian circular of the 3d inst. and the assurances of an opposite teuour, simultaneouslygiven in direct and unequivocal terms to the envoys of France, England, and Austria at Berlin, of which the Jour nal appears, however, to be ignorant : " It is supposed," says Spener, •' that 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 ♦iew 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 brink 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, 1 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 groat 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 clia.inz- may talc? plain in Prl7st . gian bait that will not be very quickly, tor the result of the expedition to the Crimea will b© 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 pl an 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 Moniteur, 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 bad returned to Varna to fetch the corps of reserve." Although the Moniteur says it gives this news with reserve, we may reasonably suppose that it knows tke source to be respectable. The qualification of reserve has probably been con sidered necessary, only because the account had not come froth 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 of 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 health. 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 (sth, and 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 East, 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 be put down by force, and that a recourse to force would lead to the f .11 of the Sultans. These were sinister predictions, and it was besides said that the population already viewed with displeasure 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 Mussulimans, and accused us of defending the Koran at the 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 in the annals of Governments, the Sultan here publicly piaces 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 Steele here gives the text of the Hatti-Scherif of the Sultan, and con cludes as follows) :—" Thus vanish all the prejudices which had been conceived and intentionally p ro p aga t e d greaterfor the 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 that they only fight for a cause worthy of the mission of the t wo grea t na ti ons o f the West. The Sultan has given undoubted pledges to the principles which form the basis of the public law of Europe.'" The Three per Cents, closed yesterday at 75f. 20c. for the end of the month ; the Four-and-a- Half per Cents., at 98f. 75c. ; and the Now Loan, at 75f. 10c. ; Orleans Railway Shares, 1,237 f. 50c.; Rouen, 975 f. ; Havre, 592 f. 50c. ; Great Northern, 862 f. 50c. ; Strasburg, 823 f. 75c.; New Shares, 647 f. 50c. ; Paris and Lyons, 997 f. 50c. ; Lyons and the Mediterranean, 870 f. ; Western of France, 672 f. 50c.; Bordeaux and Cette, 620 f.; Great Central of France, 520 f.; Lyons and Geneva, 540 f. ; Bank of Credit Mobilier, 745 f. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 16th, due yesterday, have arrived ; and those of the 17th have come to hand in regular course. The Gazette contains several decrees. One of them re-establishes the post of Inspector -General of the National Guard, which was suppressed in 1844, and declares it in compatible with any other military or civil com mand. ITALY. A letter from Florence states that the reigning Duchess of Parma, for the purpose of attracting capital and facilitating the circulation of it has just created a Bank, the capital of which is divided into shares, soma of which her Royal Highness has taken in her own name and in those of her sons. Tie n i d o ther per sons of distinction have followed the example. A letter from Naples states that his Majesty has conferred on the Cardinal Archbishop of Naples the grand - cordon of St. JantariuS as a Mark of distinction for his zeal and devotedness during the raging of the cholera. His Majesty has also made some valuable gifts from his private purse for the relief of the sufferers, and the Queen has also given for the same object all the money which she. P sessed. • MONTENEGRO. The Ost. Deutsche Post of Vienna has' the following from Cattaro of the 10th :—" Great apprehensions are beginning to be entertained in Montenegro since it has become known that the Austrians have occupied the Principalities) and that the Russians are forced to evacuate them. Colonel Kowalevrski had fascinated Prince Danilo, who had allowed himself to be entirely gained over to the Russian cause, notwithstanding the advice of experienced men ; so that there - was 3 Russian and an Au s t r i an party in the principality; the primate Petrovich and Boscovich belonging t ° , the latter. But the Russi an par t y was the stronger 0. the two, and Prince Danilo forced the adverse mates to seek a refuge abroad. But now Prince Danil o is of a different opinion. an d h as reso l ve d 't o E mu A : one of his confidents to Vi enna i n order again seek the protection of the Emperor of Austria. . 41 M. Bieladinowich has been entrusted with this znil; sion, and is moreover the bearer of letters addresseu to the Emperor Ni c h o l as , which he is to defiler to Prince Gortschak o ff. ie is also to explain 1 1 the latter the solita r y con diti on o f M on t enegro , an to ask the Russian ambassador for further instruc tions. Hostile incursions from Montenegro the Turkish territory have ceased for some tit ° , past." THE CAMP AT BOULOGNE. Bonwarm, SEPT. 21.—The Emperor is expected back to-day, but his movements depend so entirely 71ipell himself, that there is no absolute certainty of his return: In the same way, the postponed manoeuvres Escceuilles, it is now confidently stated, will take pie r " on the 25th, but whether they do or not has, probe/AY' not yet been finally determined. It excites some ell r prise in the army that, being under the personal car mand of the Emperor, who has come to Boulogne for his° purpose, nearly a month should have passed awl without more than one grand fieldday having occurren• Even then only a portion of the troops were out, and the inspections and p ara d e v i ews w hi c h h ave ta k en p l a ce ar not of a character to count for much with so large a d ' body of men regularly encamped for training a n exercise. At Chobham our troops were much mo re : knocked about, and, th oug h t o se t t h e F renc h army the North in motion is a very different thing from turn' ing out upon an English common some 8,000 or 9, 000 , soldiers, still it may f a i r ly seem s t range th a t m ore had not been done. But perhaps the Emperor is intent upon other objects with this magnificent army. If, as is gr nerally believed, he is forming it thus early to be in readiness for what the exL:encies of the war may reqnir s . of him next spri ng , it ma y b e rea dil y i mag i ne d t h a t revieri: and sham fights are more held to pass the time and 14 occupy the attention of the men than for any other P nr. pose. It, is this conviction, a t l eas t, w h ic h prevails . the army, and so strongly, that one cannot go into a large café militaire without hearing the words Cronstad Sebastopol, or Bomarsund constantly repeated. Indeed, when the Prince was over here, these words were the only commin vocabulary between the Life Guardsmen he brought with him and the French soldiers who hot: ened to show them hospitality. In every other respi they were compl e t e ly un i nte lli g ibl e to each ot h e r, li e when they quaffed bumpers of punch to the name of one of the Russian fortresses there was no misunderstan di n g as to what was meant. Some, indeed, confidently believe that this army of the North is in reality destined for a.° Rhine. It is not surprising that the policy of Prus sia , should suggest suc h views, but time alone can develop° with certainty the true character of the work which the Emperor has manifestly cut out for his troops. it lg not for the pageant r y o f gran d fi e ldd ays , no r to blas e away a certain amount of blank cartridge, that he has encamped so many thousands rou n d Boulogne, an d the must take a nar r ow view of th e spectacle which t h e cliffs in this n e i g hb our h oo d f or several leagues pre sent f who fancy that it h as a ll b e e n go t u p f or the purposes autumnal recreation. Whatever may be in contemP l !. tion for it, the French army of the North is in wallop! campaigning trim, and will, when tried, give a bundant. proofs of its efficiency. In some important respects it scarcely attains to our standard of what is requisite f or, the training and equipment of soldiers ; in others we are certainly surpassed by it ; but, those sources of comPa rison apart, it is a splendid force, capable of doing all' thing and going anywhere—except, of course, to invade England. Yesterday General Morin inspected four batteries of field artillery about three miles from Boulogne on the Paris road. They defiled past him at the close of the inspection with admirable precision, and appeared to be n excellent working order. It would appear that the Emperor's 12-pounders now used are simply the old 8-pounders bored out to that size, and we are told that they make very good practice at from 1,200 to 1,501 yards. The French artillery polish their guns, while with us it is conside re d more ornamen t a l t o let the bronze take its own natural hue under the influence of oxidation. Another point of difference is that their gnu carriages have no shafts to them, the horses probably not being strong en ough. Officers assert that the use of shafts is a considerable advantage in pulling up quickly. Theyalso believe in the superiority of the English plan of having the wheel tire in pieces, which, if shot away, may be re . placed. In the French service it is continuous, like tha t in ordinary use, except that it is securely rivetted to th e felloes by iron bolts. There seems to be only one am'' munition waggon attached to each gu n , whereas '• have, besides that, two ext ra t o eac h b a tt er y, and t well understood as an imp or t an t p o i n t i n practice, tha our artillery carries a considerably larger supply of Ana inanition than any other into the field. As to hors es' , ours have a great adva n t age i n s i ze an d s t ren gth, " n are probably not so hardy or steady in service. In cam; paigning the forage of horses is frequently attendee. i j with immense difficulti es , an d it i s th en t h a t the power e d of endurance which those of the French cavalry an artillery appear to pos s ess wou ld b e mos t a d van tageousf_ brought out. Some of them are too old and ought to D u . got rid of. Among minor points noticed at the tion may be mentioned the strength of the dragchain tached to the gun car r i age , as f rom t h e we i g ht, the dlr e cult ground which has f requen tl y t o b e crosse d, an >M s tremendous jilting from the want of springs, this is part which is very apt to give way. In the hone!, and generally in the equip men t o f t h e b a tt er i es there 1 , not that look of solid ex ce ll ence w hi c h di s ti n guishes field artillery.
