(1 p4.- ,! g - LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1854. In the - absence of authentic intelligence from the East a variety of canards - are circulated which scarcely require refutation. In some the speculations of interested parties aro invested with the garb of reality, and guesseS are treated as distinct and unquestionable facts, while in one at least of the others " the wish is father to the thought," and we are treated to a ridiculous in vention as a piece of " startling news." It would indeed be " startling" but for the simple cir cumstance that it is not merely improbable, but absolutely impossible, and that it may therefore be regarded as one of the most unblushing speci mens of mendacity that has as yet proceeded from philo-Muscovite sources—albeit that some of these ingenious inventions have already en titled themselves to rank with the AltnicnAusr.,.Ns and LONGDOWS of former generations, and cast even FERDINAND M E NDEZ Rurro himself into the shade. The first of these audacious flaws comes to us in the Cassel Gazette, which, on the authority of a letter from Bucharest, dated the 14th instant, announces that " the corps of General LUDERS, 60,000, had crossed the Danube and entered the Dobrthischa !" It adds its belief that " the Rus sian army intends to march on Varna, whilst the Turkish army is encamped in Wallachia, and the Allied Army is operating in the Crimea !!" To maintain an appearance of impartiality, it gravely declares that, "as regards Varna, it is to be re marked that there are in its neighbourhood two French divisions, and between 7,000 and 8,000 English and Turkish troops. There is, then, a very imposing army of 30,000 men, which ren ders a coup de main against Varna impossible ! - 11" We venture to add that the army, albeit 30,000 strong, is not by any means so "imposing" as the announcement in the Cassel Gazette, which was probably intended to delay the operations of the reserve, and prevent them from co-operating with their brethren in the Crimea as soon as might otherwise be the case. The fabri cator of this brilliant tale was not, however, satis fied with playing on the credulity or Russian tendencies of the Cassel Gazette. A letter from the same town, of the same date, and manifestly from the same hand, appeared in the Presse of Vienna, by which the author declared that "he was enabled to announce positively that General Llamas had crossed the Danube with large forces, and was advancing on the Dobrudscha ; that, ac cording to the last news, Russian troops had been seen at Matschin, near Ibraila." With a pleasing display of candour, which shows that the arrow thus shot forth was drawn from the same quiver as that above referred to, the writer adds—" I mention this fact to you without sharing the opinion generally credited here, that General LUDERS intends to march. on Varna, where there is a ver y large force of Allied Troops!'" Now, without entering into any arguments to p rove th e insuperable difficulties that would attend so reckless a step, which, if practicable, w ou l d neee • ssarily be followed by the destruction of the entire corps, without proving, as we might easily (10, the physical impossibility of such a movement, i t is sufficient to say, that we have authentic accou nt , • from Bucharest up to the 22d inst., eight d ays • later than the letters aforesaid, in which not the slightest allusion is made to the important 1" facts" so kindly communicated to the Editors of the Cassel Ga:Ttle, and the Press of Vienna. Another story of a similar class is, that the Russian fleet had actually sailed from Sebastopol, with the intention of cutting off the "reserve, on its passage from Varna to the Crimea." This t atory comes from Berlin. The authority on which it is founded is an alleged despatch from Prince MENSCFIIKOFF t 0 the CZAR. • The amiable journalist, however, adds —" We are afraid that t • his last piece of intelligence is too good to be true." So are we--although our fears rest on a very different foundation from those of the friend to Russia, who has given expression thereto, as above stated. Another author gives Morelli version of the affair, ar hints that ..a .... ~ .J..:.l uu....`'ii:r '..5~~ l the destination of the Fleet is Constantinople, which will be take' possession of in the name of the Emperor NICHOLAS SO soon as the " little" affair of the " reserve" is disposed of, and when the Euxine has been made the grave of the 30,000 English, French, and Turkish troops. These would unquestionably be very brilliant and very important actions, but that a trifling impediment exists in the shape of the Allied Fleets blockading the port of Sebastopol, which will be prepared to enter into a very decisive and satisfactory reckon ing with any Russian vessels that may venture to emerge from under the guns of the fortifications at Sebastopol. The other matters relate to the Crimea, and may be received quantum valeant ; that is to say, there is nothing about them outrageously impro bable, and therefore they may be true, but inas much as they rest on no certain foundation they may be taken as the embodiment of certain vague guesses that have been hazarded. The chief of these dicta is to the effect that " Prince MENSCIIIKOFF had advanced with his troops to Burliuk, on the river Alma, and had taken up a position there, awaiting the attack of the Allies, and awaiting reinforcements." This news comes simultaneously from Berlin and Vienna—the for mer staking it as the intention of the Russian General to meet the Allies on the Alma—the latter stating that he had actually advanced to Burliuk. As we have stated, it may be true, but must be taken cum grano salis. There is also a rumour in Paris that a battle had actually taken place, in which the Russians were defeated with great bloodshed. It was also rumoured that the Turkishcorps had been routed by the Russians, who, in turn, were put hors de combat by the French and English troops. Another rumour was, that, in the event of defeat, the Russians were resolved to perish to a man in the ruins of their stronghold, and that instructions had been given to the fleet the moment that Sebastopol was invested to put to sea and fight to the last, selling the ships and their crews at as dear a rate as possible. All that we can now say is, that these tidings are all de cidedly premature, and that we must patiently await the issue of the important events now in progress—an issue that rests solely in the hands of the " LORD OF HOSTS." A great man has passed from amongst us. THOMAS Lord DENMAN is no more ! One who delighted the Senate and the Bar by his brilliant eloquence, and whose proved impartiality and in corruptibility added additional weight to every sentiment he delivered, inasmuch as it was known to be the truthful emanation from an honest heart, has been snatched away by death, and has left no nobler spirit behind. The ex-Chief Justice was, indeed, no ordinary man, and the highest eulo gium that could be pronounced on him was, that his great talents were ever secondary to the zeal and energy, the independence, and the sincerity of his character. A firm and unflinching Liberal, he never bartered or even concealed his firm convictions for the sake of political ad vancement. He never followed for a single moment the path of expediency, or deviated in the slightest degree from that of rectitude, but acted on every occasion during his protracted, useful, and honourable existence as in his heart and conscience he thought in accordance with justice, and heedless of consequences to himself or others. Of this he gave many striking illustra tions, but two particularly attracted public attention, in which his firm determination was exhibited, and which redounded to his honour. Many of the " Waiters on PROVIDENCE," those seeking after the crumbs of patronage that dropped from the Ministerial table, predicted that his stern, unbending disposition would prevent him from ever attaining the pro fessional honours to whidh he might otherwise fairly have aspired. But he was elevated •to the highest rank, while the " benders and crawlers," the "mac-sycophants and time-servers" remained buried in merited obscurity, thus affording another convincing proof that in politics as well as in every other portion of the " battle of life" unflinching " honesty" is indeed " the best policy." The family or Lord DENMAN had long been settled at Bakewell, in Derbyshire, a spot to which the illustrious Chief Justice continued deeply at tached during his entire life. His father, Dr. Mos. DENMAN, had achieved considerable eminence as a physician, having had the honour of being one of the attendants on Royalty itself. His mother was ELIZABETH, daughter of ALEXANDER BRODIE, Esq., and aunt to the present Sergeant-Surgeon Sir B. COLLINS BRODIE, Baronet. Lord DENMA N was the only son of this marriage, his two sisters were married respectively to the unfortunate Sir RICHARD CROFT—who perished by his own hand, on the death of the Princess CHARLOTTE, while under his care—and to Dr. BAILLIE, who acquired the greatest eminence in his profession. The young THOMAS DENMAN, who was born on the 23d July, 1779, was in due course sent to school at Diss, in Norfolk, where lie was under the care of the celebrated Mrs. BARBAULD, whose hymns and other works for children are so well known. He subsequently entered St. JOHN'S College, Cambridge, but did not j achieve very great collegiate distinction during his undergra duate career. In 1805 he contracted matrimony with THEODOSIA. ANNE, daughter of the Rev. RICHARD VEVERS, of Sexby, and Rector of Ket tering, to whom, for forty-seven years, he acted as a faithful and loving husband, experiencing the truest domestic felicity during this long period. By her he has left a family of five sons, the eldest of whom, THOMAS DENMAN, born in 1805, now succeeds to the title his father so nobly and honourably acquired. In 1806 Mr. DENMAN, then 27 years of age, was called to the Bar by the Honourable Society of Lincoln's Inn, and soon got into respectable, although not very extensive, practice. Owing to his father's previous success, he was exempted from many of the struggles to which too many young barristers are subjected before they achieve the substantial rewards of professional merit. He pursued his course until 1818, when, being then aged 39 years, he was elected to a seat for the borough of Wareham, then under the influence of the " CALCRAFT" family. He immediately took a prominent part among liberal politicians, and strongly opposed the old Tory clique that misgoverned the country. In 1820 he was appointed Solicitor-General to Queen CARO LINE, HENRY BROrGHAar being the Attor ney-General. In this position, by faithfully discharging his duty to his client, he acquired the animosity of GEORGE IV. and his Ministers, and thus the " silk gown," to which he was so well entitled, was withheld until the year 1828, when a patent of procedings was wrung from the reluctant Monarch, for his honest and conscienti ous opponent. If, however, by his strenuous exertions, ho lost the favour of the Court, he gained that of the people, and in 1822 was elected by the Corporation of London to the honourable position of Common Sergeant of the City. He retained this situation until the appointment of the Guy Administration in 1830, when his illustrious colleague, HENRY BROUGHAM, being appointed Lord Chancellor, with a peerage, Mr. DENMAN w as nominated Attorney-General, and obtained the honour of knighthood deathof from his SOVER EIGN . In 1834, on the Lord TENTERDEN, in 1834, lie was appointed Lord Chief Justice of England, which office he filled with • ' dignity and impartiality for more than 16 years. The most memorable case in which he was engaged Ns-a s of __Tocicrka Le If that s V. A NSA.R.D, in which, to a Dertaiu extent, he came into collision with the House of Commons, on account of the important principle which helaid down that "neither branch of the Legislature was supreme when acting by itself ; and that he could not withhold re dress to the humblest citizen wh en claiming justice at his hands, no matter how powerful might be the party to whom he was opposed," Iu this arduous struggle he displayed unflinching t THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 27 3 _ 18b4, firmness and the highest moral dignity. He, indeed, won golden opinions from all manner of men, even from the most strenuous advopates of Parliamentary privilege. In 1850, having attained the ripe old age of 71 years, and feeling his health rapidly failing, he retired from the Bench of which he was so distinguished an ornament, to the enjoyment of the well-merited otium cum dignitate. From that time he continued to reside chiefly at Dovedale, in Derbyshire, the locality where his family had so long dwelt. There he quietly " dropped asleep," hastening to rejoin his dearly-loved partner, whom he had lost two years since. Peace to his manes. He has left no more faithful, con sistent, or honourable mrtn behind him. THE OVERLAND MAIL. is in the anticipated success a eomniencement of military and.diplomatic solution. Germany is hesitating at pre sent under the, pressure of the hesitations of Prussia. Perhaps she will not hesitate any longer after the capture of Sebastopol. It is known that the first sitting of the Diet of Frankfort did not enter on the chapter of East ern affairs. The influence of Vienna and that of Berlin are in. presence ; one calls for the accession of the Con federation to the four guarantees of the Western Powers; the other has in advance rejected that basis of action in a circular which we have published. A great blow would be required to definitively induce Germany to follow in the course' of the West. Perhaps the avenging cannon of the Crimea will realise that national accord, so desirable for the independence and interests of Ger many.' (By Submarine and European Telegraph.) TRIESTE, SEPT. 27.

CONSTANTINOPLE. Up to the present moment (Sept. 14) no reliable news has reached this place concerning the expedi tion to the Crimea, though numerous reports are in circulation. To-morrow we expect an English steamer, which must bring the first real account of their proceedings. Constantinople is very quiet. All eyes are di rectea towards the Black Sea, anxiously awaiting the result of the landing in the Crimea. A report has been spread during the last few days of the Sultan's illness. As it may have spread to Europe, I make a point of contradicting it, his Imperial Majesty being in the enjoyment of his usual health. Trade in India was dull. Exchange at Calcutta, ls. Canton was in a state of siege. All business was suspended, and in a•few days the place would be in the hands of the rebels. No tea was brought to market.

DANTZIO, Sept. 15.—The belief gains strength here that an attack on Revel will be made before the ice closes the naval campaign for this year. THE .ARMY IN THE CRIMEA. PARIS, TUESDAY. By the Holyrood, whicharrivedyesterday at Sheer ness, and left Revel Bay on the 12th instant, we have received the following interesting intelli gence :—The squadron under Admiral Plumridge there then consisted of the St. George, Royal George, Neptune, Cressy, Csar, Monarch, Nile, Princess Royal, Dragon, the French ship Tage, and another French line-of-battle-ship. Admiral Pluraridge was on board the Neptune with his flag. The boats of the fleet had been engaged laying down buoys, taking bearings and distances preparatory to, an attack being made on Revel. They were only waiting for Sir Charles Napier. Look-out was being kept at the mastheads of all the tauntest ships for the gallant Admiral with his squadron, which was hourly expected. The Cressy was anchored within two miles of Revel, inside Nargen Island. The fleet were anchored in line four miles distant from the forts at Revel, waiting orders for advancing within shot•range of the guns of the fleet. The Nargen Islanders reported that there were 70,000 infantry and 8,000 cavalry en camped in and around Revel to protect the place. About three weeks since the whole army was reviewed by the Emperor, who, according to the Nargen Island ers, addressed themhimself, urging them to keep the enemy from their shores, or perish in the attempt to do so. The Nargen Islanders, it is reported, do all they possibly dare to barter with the fleet, and aro very, 'faithful in all their transactions. They seem to have the greatest confidence in the English officers and seamen. Each ship's company has sunk a well in Nargenslsland, where they get very ex cellent water for their use, and an abundant supply. A despatch from Marseilles of this morn ing announces the march of 25,000 Turks on Brai low, and the junction of Schamyl's forces with those of his Lieutenant Daniel, with a view of attacking Tiflis. The Turkish army in Asia now occupies the camp abandoned by the Russians near Kars. The Thabor steamer left Constantinople on the 20fh with the details of the landing in the Crimea, and is expected to arrive at Marseilles to-morrow or th, day after. M. Maurer, formerly Minister of Justice, has been sent to Athens on a mission by the King of. Bavaria BERLIN, TUESDAY EVENING. Intelligence from the Crimea, received via St. Petersburg, and which may be believed or not, according to the fancy of the reader, states that Prince Menichikoff was concentrating his forces, and would 'meet the allies on the Alma river. We are also informed that Prince Menschikoff has telegraphel to St. Petersburg that the Russian fleet had sailed from Sebastopol to intercept the passage of the leserve from Varna ; but we are afraid that this hat piece of intelligence is too good to be true. small Russian cutter was seen sailing about in the bay. The Cressy's cutter, armed, was sent in to cut her off; she did so, and brought her out under the fire of the fort. The Admiral finding she was merely used for pleasure, and not wishing to spoil the recreation of the harmless natives, she was released. The crew in the Russian sailing cutter were dreadfully alarmed, fearing the shot would tell where not intended. The blue-jackets enjoyed the sport, seeing the shots playing duck and drake around them. Mr. Henry Ommanney, naval cadet, has come home invalided, having had a severe attack of cholera. There are also 14 sailors and 4 marines invalided home from Admi ral Plumridge's squadron. There were only a few cases of cholera under treatment in the whole fleet —not more than bue death a day in the Whole fleet. Some of the invalids state that, had it not been for the kindness of the commander in giving some of the invalids preserved fresh meats and wines from his own private stores, they would have suffered very much, as they only had salt provisions sent on board for them, and no hospital stores or sur geon was on board the Holyrood. Twenty Russian'aarges, laden with corn and rags, had been partly wrecked in a gale, and partly cap tured by the Amphicn and Archer. PARIS, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 27. We have received the follo w i ng , d a t e d Mar seilles, . 26th inst.:— " The reserve at Varna received orders to em bark on the 18th for the Crimea, under the orders of General Levaillant. "From Alexandria we learn that the viceroy was hastening the sending of new reinforcements and artillery to the Porte. " Two combats had been fought in Georgia be tween Daniel Bey (Schamyl's lieutenant) and Wran gel's division. The Russians were beaten. "The Poles, who formed part of this Russian division, are reported to have gone over to the enemy with two guns. " A committee of merchants has been formed at Constantinople, to fix the rate of foreign exchange and paper money." The Paris papers just received contain accounts of the expedition in the Crimea. The following translation will be found highly interesting : RUSSIA. THE RUSSIAN FLEET IN THE BALTIC. The Russian fleet in the Baltic comprises the following sailing ships, together with three steamers of 400-horse power, mounting eight guns each, two steamers of 120-horse power, mounting four guns each, and one steam corvette of 20 guns and 450- horse power.. They are stationed at Helsingfors and Cronstadt in the following proportions AT HELSINGFORS (9.) Guns. Russia St. George the Conquerorll2 Pultava Proehor Vladimir . (From the ConstUutionnel.) "Old Fort, where the landing was effected, is, accord-. ing to the best maps, 45 kilometres (28i English miles) to the north of Sebastopol, and 23 kilometresp43 Eng lish miles) to the south of Eupatoria, a little above the river Boulganack. This position is indicated in some maps, by the name of Traktir. It will be seen that the troops had advanced immediately by the roads of Simpheropol and Bachti-Serai ; but perhaps nothing is meant but bodies of troops intended to observe the enemy. The part of the expeditionary army which proceeds along the coast will meet with four streams of water before they arrive at the little arm of the sea which is at the north of Sebastopol. The count r y i s woo d e d an d moun tainous, but that inconvenience is conapewsated for by the facility of having wood and water, which would be difficult to find in advancing farther into the country. The streams of water are Boulganack, the Alma, the Katcha, and the Belbek. This last river being passed, the northern fort, and the Fort Corm-tantine, are right in front. The northern fort is a regular work, which it will be ne cessary to attack by land, and probably according to all the rules of the military art. As to Fort Constantine, the example given at Bomarsund leads us to believe hat it may be reduced by an attack from the fleet. Once masters of these two points, Sebastopol is ours. With an enemy able to defend the ground foot by foot, the distance between the landing-point and Sebastopol might ,be difficult ; but to judge by the language of Marshal de St. Arnitud and Lord Raglan to Omer Pacha, the generals-in-chief do not appear to expect any great resistance before arriving at the end. of their maroh."

Remark, in fact, that if it succeeds, as there is reason to hope, the naval power in the Black Sea will be completely destroyed, and the independence of the Otto man Empire will be re-established. The mouths of the Danube have become free, and the treaties which opened the Principalities to the sovereign influences of the Czar have been torn to pieces by the sword. The war will not then be finished, but a capital point will be decided —namely, that the Euxine will no longer be a Russian lake, for what hitherto has constituted the supremacy of Russia, is not merely that her navy is stronger than that of Turkey, but that it has to shelter itself against the fleets of the Sultan's allies, a port which cannot be forced except by the aid of a powerful army. That port once destroyed, though the war may not be imme diately terminated, the respective situations of Turkey and Russia will have been completely changed. We are also convinced that by the fall of Sebastopol the German powers will lie led to naodify their attitude, or, to speak more properly, to act more in accordance with their words. In order to have a part in the benefits of war by setting themselves as arbiters of peace, the German powers should have a position such as they have not yet had, and which they will not pro- , bably have reached until Russia shall have lost the Crimea, which, militarily, is everything for her by the facility which it gives her to command the Black Sea by her fleet. The capture of Sebastopol would therefore produce consequences which it is now impossible to calculate, and the principal one of which would be to decide Germany to support differently from what she has hitherto done the propositions put forward by France and England." gent leaders, Garibaldi and Rosselli, are going to fight a duel." -44 TRIESTE, Sept. 23.—A good deal of business was done in coffee and sugar, which fetched high prices. Cotton not particularly lively ; Egytian firm, and American less steady. Corn of every kind was higher, and a great deal of business had been done on speculation, but the supply was very small. Red raisins were flat. Wool was active, but business was done with cau tion. Oil has risen in price, with an extensive sale, and a small supply. Spirits, tallow, and hides were firm. (From the Pays.) • . "The Moriiteur rectified yesterday with official infor mation what had been inexact in the first telegraphic despatch relative to the landing in the Crimea. It is not at Eupatoria that the landing took place, but half way between that town and Sebastopol. What had given rise to the premature news of the descent on Eupatoria was that on the 13th three regiments had landed and taken possession of this last•named place. The rest of the operation was effected the next day at a point named Old Fort, seven leagues distant from Sebastopol. Thus, the first result henceforward forms part of the history of the present struggle. The first act of the great enterprise which holds Europe and the world in suspense has realised all our hopes. We have taken footing in the Crimea in the midst of a population more friendly to us than hostile. We arrive there as liberators, with the prestige of our force and of our past triumphs, with the irresistible power of an army of chosen men, accompanied with all the resources of mei: dery science. We have to do with enemies whom our presence has terrified, and who feel the demoralisation of a year of successive defeats. The termination of such a situation cannot be doubtful ; in the opinion of all special men, the landing was the greatestdifficulty. That obstacle being surmounted, the heroism of our soldiers will do the rest. This sentiment of our force, we may affirm without any fear of contradiction, is felt both in France and in Europe.

AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Sept. 23.—An article entitled the " Present State of the Oriental Question," which has appeared in the Augsburg Gazette, deserves no tice, as it evidently gives the opinions of the States represented at the Bamberg Conference on the Oriental question. After observing that if the expe dition against Sebastopol should succeed the Western Powers will in the spring still more positively insist " on the moral and political humiliation of Russia," the Bavarian writer proceeds to say that the object of Germany must be " by its resolute attitude to force both parties to peace." We are told that the word "force" is empleyed advisedly, as the Western Powers well know that the Oriental question cannot be settled in the way they wish unless Austria goes to war, and that she will not do unless she receives the positive assurance of the support of Prussia and the rest of Germany. The journalist is further of opinion that, even if Sebastopol and the whole of the Crimea should fall into the hands of the allies, " Russia will return to the charge next spring with redoubled force, and eject the Turks and their allies from the peninsula." It is affirmed here that a slight skirmish took place on the road to Simpheropol, on the 17th, after which the entire road was in the possession of the allies. Such reports as these must,.however, be received with extreme reserve. Fifteen ships are said to be blockading the port of Sebastopol. On the 16th the news of the landing iu the Crimea reached Odessa, and a tremendous sensation was produced. A Vienna letter of the 21st, in the Journal de .FraucArt, states that on the 16th the English and French amb . assadors at Vienna communicated to the Austrian Cabinet despatches from their respec tive governments, declaring that they were satis fied with the decision of Austria, not to regard the answer of the Emperor of Russia to the four propositions as a casus belli. The following telegraphic despatches were re ceived here this afternoon : " TURIN, Sept. 20,-.The two well-known i11,01Ur! 4 1:1 1 4 tI 1,1. a 4uk4, PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Sept. 24.—The National Zeitung to-day publishes a synopsis of the Austrian Note of the 14th inst., which is of so remarkable and interest ing a nature that I cannot refrain from sending it to you. The editor has prefaced it with some few words, which so entirely express my own views that the most expedient course will be to trans late them as they stand. After premising that the Not© is dated September 14, and is addressed to the Austrian representatives in all the States of the German Confederation, except the two Meek lenburgs, they being the only Governments that did not join the treaty of alliance of April 20, he says : "This document is skilfully enough calculated on the one hand to define and retain the perfectly neutral position that the Austrian Cabinet now observes in the war commenced against Russia ; on the other hand, to keep public opinion, in so far as it had in dulged in the assumption that Austria was very much of accord with the Western Powers and hostilely disposed against Russia, in that way of thinking ; further, to preserve an external appearance of per fect identity of feeling with Prussia much more than seems actually to exist ; at the same time to draw Prussia towards herself by a conciliatory acquiescence in the wishes of her Cabinet, and to make Austria, in con trast to the backward, inactive, expectant attitude of Prussia, appear as the active, combative representative, And supporter of interests hich are not simply German and Eufopean, but are averred to be the only real Ger man interests, par excellence, that are brought into ques tion." The New Prussian Gazette states, under the head of Vienna, that the Austrian Cabinet has sent to St. Petersburg, in reply to the note of Count Nes selrode of the 26th ult., a note in which Austria again insists on the four propositions. TRANCE. The Moniteur publishes the following telegraphic despatch from Therapia, 17th : " 3IARSHAL DE SAINT-ARNADD TO THE MINISTER OF WAR. "Bivouac of Oldfort, 16th.—The allied armies landed at Oldfort on the 14th without meeting with any resist ance. The troops are full of ardour. The Tartar popu lation appear very favourably disposed. We are estab lishing ourselves by the landing of the cavalry and the materiel. This is a laborious operation, and is some times impeded by the wind ; but it advances, and I hope to be prepared to leave to-morrow. The ensemble of our debut is very satisfactory." The following private telegraphic despatch has also been received : "MARSEILLES, 26th,—The courier which left Con stantinople on the 15th merely announces the march of 25,000 Turks on. Ibrail, and the junction of the corps commanded by Schamy with that of his lieutenant, Daniel Bey, in order to make an attack on Tiflis." The Turkish army in Asia, which is waiting for its new general-in-chief, Ismail Pacha, occupies the camp abandoned by the Russians near Kars. Since his departure from Silistria, Ismail Pacha has been the object of continual ovations on the part of the Ottoman troops whom he meets on his road. The Thabor, which left Constantinople on the 20th, is expected here on the 27th or 28th. She will bring de tails of the landing of the allies in the Crimea. Accord ing to notes exchanged between the governments of France, England, and Bavaria the cabinet of Munich has just sent M. Maurer, ex-Minister of Justice, on a mission to King Otho." The Minister of War has lately taken measures to have the frontier-zone of France more strictly watched over ; and to that effect he has addressed a circular to the prefects, officers of gendarmery, and commanders of fortified places, stating what points that surveillance ought to be more particu larly directed to, and the nature of the acts of preservation that ought to be carried out.

DENMARK. COPENIIAGEN, Sept. 26.—The King, on learning the contents of the Jutland addresses, sent his Cabinet Secretary to the deputation to say that he refused to grant them an audience. HOLLAND. A letter from the Hague, of Sept. 20, in the Independance of Brussels, says :—" When King William arrived at the camp of Groplivet, he wished to assume the command of the troops, but General Van Poolsum Booy, who was at the head of the troops, refused to give up the command, nothing in his instructions from the Minister of War authorising him to give up his functions. A conflict arose in consequence be tween them, and in the end " the general ten dered his resignation. No one can say if it has been accepted ; but his Majesty, wishing to mark his sense of the general's strict attention to the orders given him, has made him adjutant on extraordinary service." ITALY. A letter from Rome of the 20th state that the Pontifical Government has just contracted a loan for four millions of crowns (21 millions of francs) with the house of Rothschild. The first instal ment is to be paid to the Government in the course of the ensuing month. MISCELLANEOUS. Prince Mensehikoff has only forty-eight pieces of cannon at his command, which are ranged on the heights from the Convent of St. Crimea to Sebas topol. None of the batteries consist of more than eight pieces. The Satellite says that Philippesku, the late com mander of the Moldavian militia, is sentenced to four years' exile in Siberia, and at the end of this time he is to join the army of the Caucasus. We learn from Vienna that, on the 22d, Prince Gortschakoff received a despatch announcing the disembarkation of the expedition in the Crimea, and immediately wrote to the Russian Ambassador at Stuttgard, stating that he postponed his intended visit to that city. The Copirte Zeitung says that despatches re ceived by Prince Menschikoff from St. Petersburg instruct him to propose an armistice in case of the destruction of the fleet being imminent. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 22d announces that the Delegate Council of Turin has favourably received Chevalier Bonelli's proposal of having a universal exhibition of manufactures at Turin, in 1857, and invitedihim to write to the secretary on the subject. A correspondent of the Lloyd writes on the 11th inst. from Constantinople, that the rebel Zeybecks, in the pachalick of Aiden, still held the upper hand. Their leader, Sinan Oglu, with his followers, had thrown himself into Fort Kutak, in Aidin, and re peatedly :beaten back the imperial troops. In Persia the Turcomans had taken and destroyed two forts. A letter from Stockholm, of the 13th, says : " We have here at present in our port a Sardinian brig, the Adda, with a large quantity of hemp on board, grown in Piedmont. This is the first time that that article has been brought here from Italy; it has been sold at rather high prices." Advices from Galatz of the 16th inst. state that the fortifications there are already restored, and that the Turkish garrison will eventually consist of 6,000 men. Up to the 16th, the garrison of Galatz was not more than 25,000 men. A correspondent, writing from Constantinople, sayslthat some five or six gun-boats, laden with Russian troops and munitions, had been lost in a storm - in the sea of Azoff, on their way from Taganrog to the Crimea. No dates are given. By an imperial decree the Jewish Consistory of Metz has been authorised to accept the donation of 60,000 fr. made by the late Duchess de Plaisance, for putting out as apprentices a certain number of Jewish children. The Moniteur des 116pitaux says :—" The greater number of the physicians or medical pupils sent into the country to attend the cholera patients are returning to the capital, which proves that every where in France the epidemic is happily disappear ing. The movement of the civil hospitals proves that such is also the case in Paris." Baron Andr( Mario Hue, ex-premier valet-de chambre of Louis XVIII. and Charles X., died on the 16th near Bray (Seine-et-Marne), at the age of 68. Baron Andre was the only son of M. Hue, who shared part of the captivity of Louis XVI., and was mentioned by that monarch in his will. BETTING.—The County Court judge of Warrington (J. W. Harden, Esq.) decided, on Thursday last, that stakes deposited in the hands of any person could not be recovered either by the gainer or loser of a bet.— War , rington Ogorc COURT CIRCULAR.

A deputation from the National Association for the Improvement of the Dwellings of the Working Classes had an interview yesterday with the President of the General Board of Health, at his office, Whitehall. The deputation consisted of Mr. R. H. Moore, Mr. W. R. Pope, Mr. Henry Steevens, and Mr. Brown, solicitor. Despatches were sent yesterday from the Colonial office to the Governor of Gibraltar.

CRYSTAL PALACE, SEPT. 26.—SHLLINGDAY.—Admis sion at the doors, 6,235; admission by season tickets, 663 ; total, 6,898. A FLOATING CHURCH.—A new floating church is about being established in Birkenhead. In about 20 days 33 t persons died from cholera and 17 from diarrhoea in the Isle of Jersey. Mr. Samuel Wellard West, of the firm of Norris, Adams, and Co., of Deal, Ramsgate, and Margate, is appointed Royal Danish vice-consul for the port of Rams gate and its district.

DUBLIN SAILORS' HOME.— The secretary received from the crew of one vessel last week upwards of 2001., a great part of which was secured to the men by bank orders on London, and more of it laid out here,for proper clothing. THE MAYOR AND CORPORATION OF SOUTHAMPTON paid a state visit yesterday to the United States screw steam frigate St. Jacinto, lying in Southampton Water. A. salute was fired from the frigate in honour of the visit. The St. Jacinto leaves Southampton to-day. PROOF OF CONVICTIONS TO BE GIVEN IN CIVIL CASES. —Under the new Common Law Procedure Act, a wit ness in any cause may be questioned as to whether he has been convicted of any felony or misdemeanour, and if he denies the fact or refuses to answer, the oppo site party may prove the conviction and put in a certifi cate, which upon proof of the identity of the person, is to be evidence of the conviction, without proof of the official character of the person signing it. THE NUISANCE OPPOSITE THE ADELPHI.—Several days ago a deputation from the board of guardians of the parish of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, waited upon Sir B. Hall, Bart., complaining of a most serious nuisance in the Myer Thames opposite the Adelphi-terrace, arising out of a large accumulation of filth and decomposed mat ter in bargee. The deputation to the Board of Health was the last resource, and at the interview which took place they had an assurance from the chief commissioner, Sir B. Hall, Bart., that a case should be drawn up for legal advice ; and the consequence has been that at the last Central Criminal Court an indictment was preferred before the grand jury against the offender, upon which a true bill has been found, it being agreed that until the case has been heard the nuisance shall be discontinued. CITY AND METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS.--In New gate-street several houses are now being removed, the leases having fallen into the Corporation, so that in future the street will be wider in consequence. It is hoped that before the buildings are re-erected the Improvement Committee will take care that a sufficiently open apace will be left opposite the beautiful edifice denominated " Christchurch," leading into Newgate-street, so that the structure may he seen to advantage, and the pas sage-way—formerly exceedingly narrow—made worthy to be called a suitable approach to the sacred edifice. In Whitechapel, below the church, the pathways are being widened, and the sideways of the row paved with Aber• deen granite of the first quality. THE NEW BEER ACT.—NORWICH, Monday.—A meeting of the licensed victuallers in this city was held this afternoon at the Boar's Head Tavern, Surrey-street; Mr. F. Philips, the landlord of the house, in the chair. There was a fair attendance of the trade. Mr. S. Daynes, who moved the adoption of a petition to Parlia ment for the repeal of the new act, said it was not only a publican's, but a public question, for every person was deeply interested in checking the course of a system of legislation the end of which could not be seen. The petition having been adopted, the chairman proposed that a licensed victuallers association should be esta blished in the city, observing that for ss. a year the trade might secure the services of a legal adviser to attend before the magistrates when informations were laid against them. The suggestion met with the unani mous approval of the meeting, and a- president, vice president, committee, secretary, and treasurer, having been appointed, the proceedings terminated. FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE CANN VIADITOT.—On Suns day morning last, between ten and eleven o'clock, a fatal accident, occasioned by the falling of some massive wooden supports in one of the archways of the Cann viaduct, occurred to a young man named Samuel Ket ley, aged 17, son of a labourer in Moulsham, and who was in training as a drummer for the West Essex Mi litia. It appears that at the time the unfortunate acci dent occurred, deceased, with two other youths, was lounging under the archway, but some distance off the footpath. One of them, a young man named Gardner, hearing a loud cracking noise, looked upwards, and see ing the large props were giving way, called loudy to his companions, but too late to save deceased, who, while attempting to escape, and while in a stooping posture, was struck down by a heavy block of wood and killed on the spot, his neck and back being broken, and his body being frightfully mangled. Deceased's mother, who has been for some time past in a delicate state of health, was so shocked on hearing of her son's untimely end that she dropped down in the street in a state of insensibility. —Essex Herald. NEW YORK SCREW STEAMER PETREL PUT BACK. — FIVE PASSENGERS DEAD.—Early on Monday morning, the New York screw-steamer Petrel, Captain Time, ar rived off Greenock, considerably disabled. The Petrel left Glasgow on the sth, and sailed from the Tail of the Bank on the 7th, on her voyage to New York, with a full complement of goods and passengers. She experi enced violent gales up till about a week after sailing. Several of the steerage passengers became affected with dysentery, which -rather gained ground from the con tinued severity of the weather ; and although every at tention was bestowed on those affected by the medical officeaof the ship, five cases proved fatal between the 10th and 14th. TESTIMONIAL TO SIR J. T. TYRELL, Rant, M.P.— A proposal has been set on foot, and already responded to from all quarters in a manner which appears to insure its complete success, that a testimonial be presented to Sir J. Tyssen Tyrell, Bart., M.P., as a proof of the feeling of that county towards one who has served it long both in Parliament and in o th er capacities—zea lousy endeavouring on all occasions to consult -the wishes and promote the welfare of its inhabitants ; and as a mark, too, of the respect he hag won, independently of public and political considerations, from a large circle of private friends. It has already been responded to not only by his own supporters, but by many who, though not altogether agreeing with the hon. baronet on some political points, can appreciate his oharacter and his long services, and honour a consistent 'and manly co urse of conduct ; by many others who have so often met him in the discharge of public duties in the county, at the covert side following and upholding the sports of the -field, or at the social board of private friendship, and desire to record their respect for him as an English country gentleman. It has been decided that the test moniacsiiall consist of a full length portrait of the hon. baronet, painted by an eminent artist—the portrait to be engraved, each subscriber being entitled to a print.— Mclinsford Chronicle. POACHING AFFRAY,—On the night of the 12th inst., a gang of poachers, numbering eighteen or twenty, were beating for rabbits on the estate of Colonel Wildman, in the neighbourhood of Newstead Abbey, when they were surprised by the keepers and watchers, nine in num ber. It appears that the poachers were well drilled and organised, for as soon as they saw the keepers, certain words of command were given by the leader, whom they called " captain," and they immediately formed them selves in close line, dropped their hands into their pockets, and let fly a volley of stones ; they then closed, but the keepers, finding they bad the worst of it, made off, with the exception of Colonel Wildnian's coachman and an under-keeper named Turner, who courageously stuck to the poachers, and were severely beaten with flails and sticks. The poachers then decamped, leaving behind them two long nets.—Nottingham Jonmal. FALL OP A HIGH CHIMNEY.—On Thursday last, a number of bricklayers wero engaged in trying to straighten a chimney abo u t 45 y ar d s hi g h, recently built for new chemical works, the property of Deacon and Co., Runcorn-gap. After the foundation was strengthened, Henry O'Neil and others were endeavouring to restore lsi t o h u ec y himney to its level, wh en th e w h o l e p il e rent from top t o b o t tom, and fell upon O ' Neil, who was at time employ e d b etween the two walls. Four other;., rniracu escaped iv iiight,—Liverpool Mercury. AMERICA. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. This morning the United States mail steam-ship Baltic, Captain Comstk.lck, arrived in the Mersey, with the usual mails from the United States and British North America. She sailed from New York on Saturday, the 16th inst., and has brought, besides the mails, 120 passengers, and $1,250,000 in specie on freight. The royal mail steamer Niagara, from hence on the 2d inst., arrived at Boston on the 14th. At the time of the steamer's departure, New York was more cheerful. Business was brisker; money easier than of late ; confideneo returning; and stocks rising. The reciprocity treaty has been consummated, and is now operative, having been proclaimed by the President at Washington. There is a report current here that the Spanish Government have disposed of Cuba, and that America has put• chased it. In the market for breadstuffs, the supply and sales were light, and prices much lower. Flour had declined materially, closing very downward. The provision market was dull, but prices had advanced about ±c. Freights unchanged since our last report. Exchange on London, 109 to 1092. LOSS . OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPII.) LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY MORNING. Advices have ben received of the loss of the City of Philadelphia, Captajo Leitch, from this port, for Phila delphia. It appears that the steamer ran ashore at Cape Race on the 7th instant, at 11 p.m., was backed off, and endeavours made to run ashore in Chance Coy l e. She leaked so badly that the water extinguished her fires before succeedieg. Passengers and crew saved, arid landed on the following day in the steamer Victoria. The weather had been very rough for two or three days, and it was feared the steamer would suffer severely. She had made the run hence to Cape Race in eight 'days and eight hours. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, Sept. 26.—Had affairs here been going on smoothly, we should now be experiencing an increased call for yarns from the German houses, inas much as the indications of demand at the opening of the Leipsic fair (the principal one in the year) are very favourable. We learn that a good many buyers are there from the Danubian principalities, not as heretofore with • bills, which would be of no use, but with money in their pockets. The merchants in Manchester are, however, well prepared, by their previous purchases, to meet the wants of the fair ; and, therefore, they show much cau tion in making. further purchases ; yet, some of them have offered within id. per lb. of the highest price. • for considerable quantities of 20s water twig s- On the other hand, 30s water, though unaltered in the quotations, has been obtainable here and there at a di' cline of id. On the whole, prices are remarkably stead,- HALIFAX, SETT. 23.—There has been very little busk ness to-day in our Piece-hall ; and the worsted trade 0 „ , 7 , just now in a very languid condition. In yarns ing;-;-% wools there is no change worth notice. • ROCHDALE, Sept. 25.—We have had a brisk mark 0 4 and the'detnand for fine flannels is extremely good, prices much the same as those of the preceding week. The wool market has undergone little or no change ..°";,1 the manufacturers buy very sparingly, and for brunt diate use only. - - - _ HUDDERSFIELD, Sept. 26.—The market has been earri'' paratively quiet, the deliveries to-day being mainly to previous orders. COMMISSION OF SEWERS. A special court of sewers was held yesterday in tu d Court-house, No. 1, Greek-street, Soho. The SECRETARY reported that the balance in the band of the treasurer on the 21st Sept., was 40,0281. 9s. 28., the present available balance being 38,4101. 18s. 6 8 . The deposit fund was stated to be 120,0001. • THE CHOLERA IN ST. JAMES'S. A report from Mr. Cooper, the engineer, as to OP state of the infected district of St. James's parish, viss read by Mr. Woolrych. The CHAIRMAN suggested that the report should be . printed, and sent, together with the plan (without which it would not be intelligible), to the medical and other officers of the parishes in which the infected district was ' situated.. Mr. HAWKSHAW moved the adoption of the report and called attention particularly to that part of it which showed that the opening of the plague-pit had nothini: to do with the mortality that had occurred. Mr. SMITH seconded the resolution, which after a brief conversation was carried, and the formal business having been disposed of, the court adjourned.

It apP e ' -- that a party of peasants were up at night in the tow" drinking and playing at cards, and that having broken' up after some dispute, one left for his residence in th a country. Before he went far he was pursued, and being overtaken had his brains dashed out with stones, by 111 1 less than half a dozen assailants. The deceased ra 511 :: name was Carty, and he lived near Gunsborougb was a young farmer in comfortable circumstances, havius' been married only six months. Some six or seven Pe r• sons aie in Custody on suspicion 'of having been c Oll- - cerned in the attack on him. SUSPICION or MURDER,—On Sunday evening last poor woman called at the house of a farmer at Irlaint o'-th'-Heights, having a child of three months old Wi t " her, requesting that she might be allowed to warm ba r ; • self. She remained there about 20 minutes. I sTel i, morning the child was found lying partly on a little- beod by the side of the river, and partly in the water, an d was quite dead. The mother has not been found, an whether she has committed suicide, or whether she ir1 ..4 11r. dered the child only, is not known. An inquest '— opened yesterday afternoon, before Mr. G. O. Ru tter, county coroner, but was ultimately adjourned that more evidence might be sought for. THE OUTRAGE ON THE LONDONDERRY RAILWAY.ci Pursuant to a requisition numerously signed, addresee. to the Worshipful the Mayor, a meeting of the inbab l. tants of the city and neighbourhood of LondonderrY held in Corporation-hall on Friday, at the hour of one, o'clock, to take into consideration the proper steps be adopted towards discovering the perpetrators of the late diabolical outrage, and to give expression to the general feeling of horror at that atrocious attempt 011 human life. Resolutions pledging the meeting to ral° a subscription to enable a committee (which was forme a child, to offer a large sum of money for the discovery of the offenders having been agreed to, the meeting broke U. MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.—On Monday d) about three months old, was found drowned close to the river Irwell, near Irlams-e'-th'-lieights, Lancashire, under the following circumstances :—A woman had called with it on Sunday evening at a farmer's house in the neighbourhood, and asked leave to warm herself and child. She was permitted to do this, and, after remain ing about 20 minutes, left the house. There is now reason to believe that she purposely drowned the child, but, as she has not since been heard of, whether she committed suicide also, is matter only for conjecture. An inquest was opened by Mr. G. 0. Rutter, county coroner, yesterday, but bad to be adjourned. It appears the child lead been drowned, or suffocated, not in the river, but in a shallow pool of water close by the river .
