NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. en route to Malta, there are only about half a dozen of duty men in the barracks of Newry. fora wide distance around white houses, with vine- upon the streets of the town, and beyond them upon Artillery and Quarantine Bays, the long looped-holed - wall, and the forts and batteries on the headlands of the bays. The belief that the Allies occupy the heights which so entirely command Sebastopol is warranted by the statement of Lord Raglan that he had pushed on two divisions to the " immediate neighbourhood" Of the place, as early as the 27th. It is obvious, from this re view, that, as soon as the bombardment began, the forts of Sebastopol would be placed between two fires—from the fleet to seaward, and the land batteries on the heights; that no reinforcements could cross the harbour from north to south without being exposed to certain de struction ; that the destruction of the Russian ships of war which bad not been sunk, and the southern forts, was inevitable ; and that the northern forts could not long hold out after that catastrophe. It the bombard ment really commenced at daybreak on the 4th, we may look for intelligence of its progress or termination by way of Constantinople in a few days.

A prisoner bad stated that there were 500 Greeks in this position, but that they had no guns. The statement as to their having no guns turned out to be false, for while the commander of the forces and some of his staff were in advance, a short time after the attack commenced, a shell fell only a few yards from the party and burst, fortunately without hurting any one. The chief part of the village before alluded to lay to the right of the mountain opening. The mouth of the gorge itself was wide, but rapidly became narrow. At the entrance, and facing the opening to the right, was a low bill, on which were seen numerous tombs, with their white stone crosses, and to the left a steep isolated coni cal hill, on the top of which was a small house. The interval between these two hills was filled up by fruit trees and poplars, with here and there a detached house. Beyond was what at first appeared to be a small lake, but which really is a landlocked inlet of the sea, and at the further end of this was the mountain, on the summit of which, with its principal face toward the sea, was the To be had at all the Libraries, T HE NEW and POPULAR NOVELS, PUBLISHED BY HURST AND BLACKETT, Successors to Henry Colburn, 13, Great Marlborouh-street. 3IATHEW PAX!TOS . .

The Royal Albert, 121, is taking in her middle guns at Sheerness ; she will shortly complete receiving on board her entire armament. Her gradual displacement is in every respect satisfactory, in accordance with intended draft at her loading bearing. She has yet to receive, in addition to her armament, 400 tons of coal. She has now over three feet displacement to make to bring her down to her intended water-line. Mr. Madge, her present master, will not leave her until superseded. by Mr. William J. Wheeler, serving in the Sanspareil, now in the Mediter rrnean. Mr. Madge's departure from the Royal Albert is sincerely regretted by both officers and men ; few ships can boast of such an experienced master ; and certain it is that the Royal Albert has been rigged, under his personal daily superintendence, by a little knot of seamen and a sundry lot of fresh-raised men, —many of whom had never spliced a rope or wrung a swab. It is but due to the marines, and marine artillery also, of this noble ship, to say that they most certainly have materially assisted him in stroppingblocks, preparing gun-tackles, gun-breechings, &c., in the absence of A. B.'s to perform such duties es pecially in their own line. The Cossack, 21 guns, new screw steam-corvette (origi rally built for the Russian Government), Captain Edward Fanshawe, steamed down from Chatham yesterday, and anchored at Blackstakes.

The Zephyr paddle-wheel steam-vessel, Lieutenant- Commander Charles G. Crawley, arrived at Woolwich on Tuesday evening from the Baltic. The Otter paddle-wheel steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Com mander William J. A. Heath, is expected to arrive at Woolwich in the course of to-day from the Baltic. THE MILITIA. The presentation of colours to the 2d Regiment of Somer set Militia is appointed to take place on Saturday next, the 14th inst. The ceremony will be performed by the Hon.

The right rev. prelate will deliver an address to the men. The presentation will take place in Sydenham-ffield, near Bath. The Northumberland Militiahave received orders to mus ter at Newcastle-upon-Tyne in the course of a few days. The regiment is about 600 strong, and is said to be very efficient. New clothing and accoutrements have been for warded to head-quarters. The Glamorganshire lilitia, having been fOr some days past under training at Cardiff, have been disbanded. They were inspected by General Barnard, Sir Charles Morgan, and !other officers of the Monmouthshire Militia, after which they were addressed by the Bishop of Llandaff and the Rev. Leigh Morgan. A prayer-book was presented by the right rev. prelate to every man in the regiment. Several militia officers in Ireland 'have received notice that their services will forthwith be called into requisition. It is understood that the North and South Mayo regiments of Militia will be called into active service without delay.

Victory crowns the forces and cheers every one with the pro - pect of a speedy sett client of an extensive war, from victories thread, and instinctively turn *o victories at home achieved with the same degree of skill and enterprise, though directed in another channel. Every one v ill observe how E. MOSES and SON have -ucceeded in their inssmitlcent plans for Autumn and Winter, the novelties they 11 , ve secured, the splendid styles of Attire they have invented, the superiority in the mnterlals and workmanship of their seasonable Dress, she con ectness and despatch with switch tiny Attend to all orders, and t ie application of their pro,isions to all classes, are victories only achieved by the bravest sons of trade. The strong forces of Overcoats prepared for Autumn and Winter by E. Moses and Sox will resist all the storms which may battle with the traveller or street passenger. The Ligh. Artiller• of their Paletets will stand the tug of Autumn with the most victorious resistance—the new one trey have invented and which they will sell for 255., is an union of elegance, comfort, and economy, w hick is per ectly victorious over WI previous intro ductions, and the vast s ock of fancy goods thsy have just received from France, sabmitted to the operations of the most skil ul and the brat artists and workmen in the world, are the victories of elegance and fashion which every one will celebrate. Their new stocs of Hats, Caps, flo.iery for Ladies and gentlemen, loots and Shoes, &c., are the victorious expressions of superior quality and economical prices. The victories of Commerce in the Wholesale Clothing Depart ment may be shared by Merchants, Captains, and otners, the stock of Clothing, Shirts, Boots and Shoes, &c., for export is larger, better, aid more suitable than any other, the goods are soonest sold, and produce large profits in any p :rt of the world, in consequence of the economical prices charged by R.

The Agamemnon came up to the entrance of the creek, and when the Rifles appeared on the heights the 150 men who formed the garrison, after firing a few shells, surrendered.

The creek is so narrow that it is scarcely perceptible at a couple of miles off.

ADHESIVE STAMPS for FOREIGN BILLS. —I. has been represented to the Commissioners of Inland Revenue thatthe Adhesive Stamps provided for Foreign Bills may he so written upon by the person or firm negotiating the same, as to make it difficult to distinguish the amount Of the stamp. Tho Com missioners, there•ore, strongly recommend persons using such stamps not to write on both those portions of the stamp on which the amoui,t of the duty is expressed, but leave one end free from writing and consequent obliteration.

CHOLERA ORPHANS.—The Committee of the NATIONAL (late Cho'era) ORPHAN HOME, Hain common, Richmond gratefully thatil. the various Clergymen who have forwarded their collections, and those who have otherwise so generously responded to their appeal, and earnestly hope the Public will strengthen their hands by immediate and t ontinued help s for, having numerous applications from Orphans left by the Cholera, they have resolved to admit at once 20, instead of 6, as before advertised, 14, at least, of whom shall have lost one or both parents by the pre sent awful visite , inn. This decisive and important step the various collections received since the Ist of October. from Clergymen, on behalf of the Home, as well as donations f one other benevolent per sons, the Committee believe, justify. and by which the numbers in the Home will be increa4ed to 6i. The Da , of Election has, there tore, been postpone t to the 13th of November, and the time of appli cations for admission has thus been extended to the 20th October, nefore which (or rather as early as possible) all particu'ars of Candi• dates should be sent to either of the Hon Secretaries, the Rev. .losepli Brown, Rector of Christ Church. Blackfriar's-road, J. M. Morgan, Esq., 12, Stratton-street, or to the Secretary, Mr. onins, 37, Gillingham-street, by whom every information will be given on application by letter. APPOINTMENTS. Lieutenant —john Reid (1842), from the Hannibal, 90, screw steam-ship, at Sheerness, to the Colossus, 80, screw steam-ship, at Portsmouth ; Hon. Walter C. Talbot (1851), recently promoted from the Victoria and Albert, royal steam-yacht, at Portsmouth, to the Hannibal, 90, screw steam-ship, at Sheerness, vice Reid. Second Master—Charles F. Tapril (1849), from the Vic tory, flag-ship, at Portsmouth, to the Scourge, paddle wheel steam flag-ship, on the West Coast of Africa station. ARRIVAL OF THE VOLCANO FROM THE BALTIC. The Volcano paddle-wheel steam floating factory, Second Master-Commander George Gilpin, has been reported to have arrived at Hull, on her return from the Baltic. The return of the floating factory, which was sent to the Baltic in a very complete state for effecting the necessary repairs of the war-steamers in that sea, renders it probable that no further attacks on any of the fortresses will be made during the present season, and that the whole fleet may shortly be expected home. It is understood that all the small steamers of the Baltic fleet will be laid up at Wool wich during the winter, for the facility of having them thoroughly refitted, preparatory to again commencing ope rations next spring. SURGEONS FOR THE BLACK SEA. Several military surgeons have arrived at Sheerness for passage out to the Black Sea. 12 in all are to take passage in tho Valorous. Sho is at present under orders to leave on Sunday next. THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION. Wednesday next is named for paying off the North Star and Talbot. It may probably be Thursday or Friday, in consequence of the heavy return of victualling stores from these ships. The courts-martial will not commence until Monday next. In addition to the officers already reported coming home are the following :—Dr. Lyall, late of the Resistance; Mr. Robert P. Jenkins, mate of the North Star; and Mr. Noel Osborne, midshipman. STORES FOR THE EAST. The Collier Screw Company's steamer Saxon left Southan'apton for Constantinople yesterday, laden with Government stores, consisting chiefly of provisions for the British army and fleegin the East.. She will touch at Malta. The Saxon is one of a fleet of collier screw steamers which are building, to bring coals from Wales to South ampton for the mail packet companies. They will each be able to run from Southampton to Wales, take in a cargo of coal, and return to Southampton in a week. Two of the ships belonging to the' collier screw-steam fleet are built, viz., the Union and Saxon, and the :Briton, Nor man, Dane, and another, are building. Their engine works and funnels are placed near the stern, so as to leave the whole of the fore part of the ship for cargo. These steamers will carry about 500 tons of coal. They are employed i❑ the . Constantinople trade at present because of the demand for shipping on that line. The Commander-in-Chief's flag has been struck on board the Waterloo at Sheerness, the gallant Admiral having left on seven days' leave of absence. Captain Sir Thomas Pasley, in command of the Royal Albert, has hoisted his Commodore's broad pendant during the leave of absence of the gallant Admiral. The Lords of the Admiralty are to be at Sheerness in a few days, on an official visit to the dockyard. The Hawke, 72, left Sheerness yesterday in tow of the African and Fearless for Chatham, under charge of Mr, Jackson, Assistant-Master-Attendant of that yard. EMBARKATION OF THE 46TH. One company of the 46th regiment arrived at Woolwich dockyard at one o'clock yesterday afternoon, with the bag- 1 gage of the regiment, and while entering by the factory gate, one of the men—it happened to be the time the work men were returning from dinner—with very bad taste to say the least, jeered at the soldiers, who are on the eve of embarking for the seat of war in the East, and called out " I don't recollect," in such a manner that one of the sol. diers struck him on the head with the muzzle of his mus ket, and the workman, whose name is Baker, a painter, employed in the yard, had to be conveyed to the surgery to have his head dressed. Whatever indiscretion may have taken place amongst the officers, the men have done no thing, and instead of being jeered by the thoughtless, the hand of good fellowship ought to be held out to them now that they are on their way to face the enemies of peace and good order, and be cheered on to the work they will have to accomplish in vindication of the right as justice which has been trampled upon by the Emperor of Russia, in his defiance of the Western Powers in their endeavour to uphold the integrity of Turkey. The soldiers of the 46th Regiment have a steady, clean, and soldierlike ap pearance, and the officers are in the prime of life, and will without doubt show the country that, however frivolous they may have been in their barrack-rooms, they will teach the Russians that their exertion in the battle-field will be equal to that of the best regiments in the service. To-day six companies, consisting of 27 officers, 706 non-commissioned offieers and men, with 9 officers' horses, will be on board the Prince at Greenhithe, ready to start for the Crimea, and they should leave the shores of England carrying the good wishes of the people with them to cheer them to deeds which may yet prove them to be worthy of the good opin ion of their country. Lieut.-Col. Garrett, commanding the 46th, was present with Commodore John Shepherd, during the embarkation yesterday. The horses, all very fine animals, were put on board the Ann, lighter, and the baggage on board the Staunch and the Ann barges with No. 2 chaiu-boat. The troops were embarked on board the Monkey, and she also towed the Ann, barge, with the horses on board. The Widgeon, steam-vessel, towed the others. To supply the place and do duty with the 4th company depot of the 46th Regiment left at Windsor, ono company of the 18th Regiment left Chatham yesterday morning for Strood, and proceeded to London by the North Kent Rail way, en route to Windsor. Another company will leave Chatham to-morrow for the same destination. The other corps selected to do duty at Windsor will consist of six companies of the Essex Rifle Klitia, from Canterbury. Two companies of the 18th Foot. (Royal Irish), consisting of 1 field officer, 2 captains, 1 lieutenant, and 2 ensigns. with S sergeants and 220 rank and file, marched from Chat ham Barracks at eight a.m. on Wednesday, to the termi nus of the North Kent Railway, at Strood, on their route to Windsor, to relieve the 46th, which proceeds to Wool wich, to embark for the scat of war in the East. THE COMMAND OF THE NORTHERN AND MIDLAND DIS TEIcTs.--Major-General Sir Henry G. W. Smith, Bart., G.C.8., arrive .1 at the Queen's Hotel on Friday evening last, accompanied by Lieut.-Colonel Edward A. Holdich, C.B. Sir H. Smith has recently resigned the command of the forces in the Western districts ; and it is understood that ho is to succeed to the command of the Northern and Midland districts, in the place of Lieut.-Colonel the Earl Cathcart, G.C.8., whose period of service is completed. Sir H. Smith, it is said, will probably take up kis residence in the neighbourhood of Longsight, near this city ; Lady Smith for the present remains at Government-house, Devonport.—Manchester Guardian. CORK, Oct. 10.—The 2(1 • Somersetshire Militia is ex• petted to arrive in Cork in the present week. BELFAST, Oct. 10.— Lieutenant Wombwell, 62d Depot, has been ordered to proceed forthwith to Cork, to join the draft now awaiting embarkation for Malta. The super numerary officers serving with the depots of the corps in Malta are ordered to be held in readiness to join the ser vice companies immediately. The enrolled pensioners haven ceived orders to commence their usual military traing. They will be called out for four days on the present occasion. GARRISON Or nvfa.—Since the departure of the draft THE MARCH TO t ALAKLAVA. "CAMP of BALAELAVA, CRIMEA, Sept. 29.—1 hope you received my last communication with the details of the battle of the Alma, but it was written very hurriedly, and entrusted to the best messenger to be had—by one who is not put upon the staff to report everything couleur de rose. Up at daylight, a hasty breakfast snatched, packing my things and gathering rations, then not coming to a hault till near sunset, sleeping on the bare ground, you may easily fancy there is very little opportunity for writing. " In the regiment to which I have attached myself only four: officers escaped without being hit, and scarcely a man but had a bullet or two through his ciathes. One officer was killed on the field ; two have since died. Three, including the colonel, have gorse to Scutari severely wounded ; 208 men so badly wounded that they have bad to be sent away. From cholera and sickness, from fatigue and exposure, others have since been sent to the ships and to hospital, so you may guess how our numbers are lessened. " I take advantage of the halt to-day to send fou a longer communication, which I hope Will arrive safely. "Sept. 24.—The army stirring before daybreak. The vast number of fires in the valley, the more distant dis appearing in the morning mists, produces a curious effect when seen from the hills. The Light Division moves at 6 a.m., and descends to the valley on its right. From the irregularity of the ground and the scattered distribution of the several divisions, a long time elapses before the force is formed for advancing. Heavy artil lery heard at intervals in the direction of Sebastopol. At last, about 8 o'clock, the Rifle brigade throws out the skirmishers to their support, and the Light Division, with its artillery, and the First Division, on its right, move forward together. The ether divisions follow. The main road to Sebastopol continues near the coast, and is in excellent order. Signs of cultivation increase, but no houses are seen. The hills are inure broken, their summits rounded, and a few trees appear on their sides. The road runs between the hills, and the Light Division marches along the green slope on one side, and the brigades of Guards and Highlanders on the corresponding slope of the opposite side, while the Artillery attached to the two divisions rolls heavily but easily along on the road be tween the two. The other divisions are close be hind, and some are seen ascending, and others descending the successive hills, while a bright sun and clear atmosphere brings out forcibly every colour, and j throws a brilliancy over the whole scene. No one could wish for a more magnificent military spectacle, but sad reflections arise on observing the diminished extent of ground covered by some of the regiments forming the Light Division. " The advance has to be carefully conducted, and halts are frequent. These halts render the marching still more fatiguing. Another white, unfinished look out tower comes into view. It stands close to the edge of the cliffs, above which the masts of the larger vessels of war as they move along with us are plainly seen, and appears as if it were originally intended as a Martello tower, the construction of which had been suddenly in terrupted. A large body of troops is now seen coming to our right—the glistening of their bayonets shows that ,t is the French army, as they always march with them fixed. Both armies soon afterwards came up, and there is a general stop, while a few advance to reconnoitre. The look-out tower is mounted by some ; others extend, and observe to the left. The position of the armies is now on the edge of the plain, over which they have been marching ; before is a deep valley, and to the right is a small bay of the sea, which extends smooth and blue, until it is lost in the general ocean beyond. Far off, mountains, can be seen indistinctly a group, h be i g y h o e n r danoth r mountain ridge, and backed by still dif ferent in colour and outline from everything around it. .The glass shows that it is a mass of buildiugs, and the position proves that we are now taking our first view of wards a porti onwhich of al t i h o e ur gr e e ff at or s ts tro a n r go e h n l o d w of tu t r h n e ed Eux . The to t o re connoitring has been satisfactory, and the armies de scend the steep sides of the mountain. Great labour and dexterity are required in getting down the guns and waggons, but the work is achieved, and all are now passing quietly through the beautiful valley of the Bel beck. Here are fine trees, good comfortable houses, hedges, and walls of English neatness, while all around appears to be comfort and plenty. On entering one house, a magnificent grand piano of Erard's is open, the music still upon it, and some fair performer ap pears to have been abruptly disturbed, for a recently lucked peach, and soma slight-articles of female attire have fallen close to the music-stool. A large house a little distance up the valley is pointed out as belonging to the Governor of the Crimea. This is to be occupied as the head-quarters. The main army, however, ad vances and occupies the hills on the opposite side of the er par valley—the cavalry, for the sake of the water, remain in the plain. lVat fruit atnides, v andeets othersbiesgape on a other fatigues are sent out, and all return ' aden with the most delicious apples, melons, and pears in abundance. " Sept. 25. —Twice during the nightwas the advanced gr r s, t,ion and division alarmed, and aroused to stand to their arms. But no attack followed. Cossacks are said to have been seen in various directions around the camp, but they keep a respectful distance. The army starts early, and for some miles threads its way through intricate and. close woods of dwarf oak. Great dexterity, and much information, that could not be derived from ordinary Sources, are required to move so large a body of men, with its trains of artillery and commissariat waggons, through such ground. The plan of the expedition is now manifest ; the othdr side of Sebastopol is to be gained,and Balaklava will become the base of opera tions. It is said that there is only one f or t a t B a l a kla.va, which can easily he taken on the land side. A perfect communication and stores. from o*rhe Russians are will then be established b e t ween t h e ar my and its fleet, and no difficulty experien ce d i n l an di n g the siege guns leads For Sebastopol such an event tos as i m thispi topo e vidently quite unp re p are d . "About midday th e li g h t di v i s i on come s upon the road which th a ec n apital of the Crimea. Had th e arr i va l t a k e n place hour sooner, a large body of the enemy must have fallen into our hands. As it was, the cavalry in advance and a battery of artillery were up in time only to see the rear of a retreating body, supposed to be about a thousand strong. A few rounds were fired, but it did not appear that much execution was done, though great confusion was evidently caused, as shown by the desertion of every thing that was not capable of most easy conveyance. Soros ammunition waggons left were blown up ; the ex plosiop, and th e tower of white smoke, which curled in a largp - cloud upwards, had a fine effect. All regretted that we had been so detained in moving through the woods. side of the mo unta i n , w i t h a f a r ext en di ng pl a i n a t its " We now mov e d a l ong a road cut in the precipitous o , fe himselfuniform,n ee d tthhee b p a a s p t e o r p s ool.f his Rumour a i rn he t i chief y t f a personagefir y i g a p t p o ot f i t hi amongn e e n retreating s , pt the e p e f u r s g , r t a a i vr t te i y o s s stores of harness and sa ddl ery, s t rewe d over th e roa d , evi n Russian soldier s an d one or t wo o ff icers were ma d e pri psoairdtanthceat hPadi soners. " It was nearly dark when, having traversed the valley and crossed a well-constructed stone bridge, the light division encamped on the hills above a small vil lage ; and long after dark masses of troops and com missariat arabas, and baggage ponies with ammunition, and all the etcetra of camp equipage and followers, were still pouring in in the same direction. " Sept. 2 6.—Another fine morning. Of all the pro• vidential advantages with which the English and French armies have been blessed, none perhaps has been greater than the fine dry weather which has continued, with the exception of the first night, ever since n t i h g e h t l a s n e d e i m n e g of t das ifh e t o f forces inthe show to what Crimea.ao discomfort, I Th o rf e suffering, and sickness the invading army might be ex posed by bad weather alone. Bivouacking in large open plains, without any protection, or any means of counteracting the ill effects of rain and cold, disease must have spread through the ranks and dispirited the whole force. But with the exception of that first night, the temperature has continued warm, the air dry, and in short the weather has been all that could be desired. I It is true that cholera has continued among the troops, but the fatigue and continued marching they have ne cessarily been exposed to, have rendered the comparative small number of cases a matter of surprise rather than ptherwise. " After crossing over some hills, and passing two or three Russian villages, the part of the army in advance arrived on a large plain, surrounded by rugged and broken mountains. At the end opposite to that at t which the troops entered could be seen a village, and fort of Balaklava. " The Rifles advanced in skiririshing order and took possession of the conical hill and house at the summit, while flanking parties advanced to clear the hills to the right and left of the pass. Some of the enemy were seen on the sides and summit of the mountain to the right. Dropping shots were now heard in rapid succession. After a position had been secured, some artillery ad vanced, and the enemy were soon afterwards seen re treating on the hills, up which the Rifles pursued them. The Light Division were tow ordered to leave their packs on the ground and to move forward. The First Brigade took a mountain road to the right, the Second Brigade to the left, of the gorge. Not long elapsed be fore a regular attack on the fort commenced. The at tacking party, assisted by the ships; had it all their own way—the shells from the enemy burst in the air, their shot felt far and wide, and seeing their case hopeless they shortly after the eommencetient of the attack capitulated. Only one man, a soldier of the 88th, was wounded, and it was doubtful whether the shell, a fragment of which struck him, was not from our own ships. The garrison, which was much smallerthan was expected, was taken as prison ers of war, and the fort occupied by our troops. It was evident that an attack by land had not even been dreamed of; no preparations whatever were made against it, and it is only a matter of surprise that any resistance was made at all by the troops in the fort. The ships now entered the harbour, and great elevation of spirits succeeded the successful opening of communica tion with our sea stores. To Sir John Burgoyne is gene rally attributed the plan of this operation. " What with supplies of all sorts left in abundance by the people who had deserted the village, and renewed confidence in the success of the main operation and a speedy conclusion of the war, all the troops are passing a very happy evening around their camp fires. " Sept. 27.—A cloudy morning, and rain threaten ing. The French army advancing, and moving towards Balaklava, where the head-quarters of the allied forces is to be established. Met Marshal St. Arnaud coming in, indulging like every one around in eating some of the delicious grapes which abound in the vineyards of this country. Went into the small town said to be built by the Genoese—of Balaklava. It consists of a few narrow irregular streets and detached houses, rising one above the other up the side of the hill. It presents the usual accompaniments of an eastern town—dirt, veran dahs, smell of garlic, narrow filthy lanes, and everywhere evidences of idleness and neglect. But now all was bustle. On a gate here was painted, in large letters, Head-quarters Commander-in-Chief,' there Adjutant- General, in many places Commissariat,' and persons in every dress and of every department were jostling against each other in the close confined lanes. Parties of sick were pouring in from all regiments to a pleasant looking white building, in a large garden, on the side of the hill, the General Hospital. The English being first, had got the best houses. French regiments were pour ing in and encamping near the bay, and on the -sides of the hills, in the vineyards, and, in short, everywhere. The little sea inlet itself—the channel of communication with the sea, as it wound between the mountains, being hardly to be distinguished=was filled with transports and steamers. Among these the Agamemnon floated proudly, its length nearly the same as the width of what still seemed to the eye to be a lake, and its huge size told of the water. There was the Caradoc, Lord Rag lan's vessel ; then the little Brenda, its deck covered with grey-coated Russian prisoners. Piers—one for the French, one for the English—were being constructed, and the beach was covered with arabas, carrying off supplies of tea, sugar, rum, biscuit, and other articles of food from the fleet. One considerable space near the town was occupied by the ambulances and ambulance mules—each mule carrying two com fortable seats or cote, as required—of the French. They were in such numbers, and so manifestly conve nient and necessary, that it was impossible not to regret the want of foresight or arrangement on the part of the English authorities which allowed such a battle to be fought as that of the 20th without any such an applia ance at hand. With all the kindness and care of our brothers of the fleet, -how much suffering might have been spared during the five miles' transport from the scene of action to the fleet had there been proper con veyance, instead of sprineless ill-made arabas. Never will those who witnessed it forget the misery of the poor wounded wretches, officers and men who on the nights of the 20th and 21st, lay on the cold ground, without any tent or protection from weather , sa v e a great coat and a blanket, and the maimed alone can tell what they endured, when their wounds were stiff and their bodies feverish, from the jolting of the cots or hammocks, or the by far worse shaking of the country carts. It must not be forgotten that the French were kind enough, when they knew of our deficiency, to spare us a few of their ambulances, but this was only on the last day of the moving of the wounded to the transports. " Sept. 27, Evening.—The English force has been kept in readiness all day to move to the hills, but is still en camped on the plain near the Balaklava gap. The siege guns are being landed. The Russians are said to be in the greatest panic. They are bringing all available guns to protect the side of the fortress on which they know now, but too late, that the chief attack is to be made. It is stated, on good authority, that Prince Menschikoff attempted to cut his throat, but was pre vented from executing his purpose by some officers near him. This appears to be very like a ruse, by which his master would hardly be taken in. After writing that it would require 80,000 men and three weeks to force his position at Alma, and yet seeing that position—in spite of Russian artillery, and every natural advantage —forced in about a couple of hours by comparatively a handful of men, he may well be driven to despair when he asks himself how he is to appease the wrath and dis appointment of the Emperor. " Sept. 28.—The troops are to have a day's halt to r l e a s n t d t e l d i e . m s l e , l o v r es t , e n while y s t h t h e e guns and without tents, constantly on the move military clothes hsatvner ebs a e n ae d rne and occupied, and, having no change of clothes, it may be easily imagined that both the rest and the washing are urgently necessary. The weather has providentially continued fine in spite of clouds and threatened rain." THE SEAT OF WAR. THE PENINSULA OF THE CHERSONESUS. This peninsula is defined as follows :—From the head of the harbour of Sebastopol, along the Tchernaya, to the point at which that stream is crossed by the road from Bakshi-Serai to Balaklava, is about five miles in a south east direction. From this crossing the western head land of the bay (or creek) of Balaklava is six miles in a south-west direction. From the western head land of the bay of Baiaklava to Cape Chersonesus is about 11 miles in a north-west direction. From Cape Chersonnesus to where the Tchernaya falls into the harbour of Sebastopol is about 11 miles in a direction to the north of east. The surface of the trapezoid con tained within these limits is a plateau elevated some 200 or 300 feet above the sea, on which there are several ridges and isolated hills. All this ground is occupied by the allies, who appear to have concentrated the whole of their land forces upon it. In this position they can only be assailed from one or other of three directions. From Balaklava to Cape Chersonesus, and from Cape Chersonesus to the Quarantine Battery, at the entrance of the harbour of Sebastopol (7 miles) the peninsula is washed by the sea, on which the allied fleets ride triumphant and unassailable. The southern shore of the harbour is occupied by Russian troops, but they are little likely to make a sortie, inasmuch as their line of advance would everywhere be under the grins which the Allies have planted along the verge of the elevated plateau. Only the men in the forts, bat teries, and barracks south of the harbour, could be made available for such a sortie, inasmuch as any troops attempting to cross the harbour from the north side would be exterminated by the guns on the heights, and the flanking fire from the fleet. A hostile force might be brought up to assail the Allies on the side of the peninsula extending from Balaklava to the Tchernaya by the coast road from Yalta, which is believed to be practicable for artillery, though it passes through a difficult country ; but Prince Menschikoff is understood to have drawn to him, before the battle of the Alma, any troops that may have been stationed in that quarter. Lastly, the position of the Allies might be attacked on the side that is covered by the Tchernaya ; but the facts that the combined army was allowed to march unassailed across the difficult country between that stream and the Belbeck, and that the only Russian troops upon which it stumbled by accident on the march fled in confusion without fighting, show that the Russian commander-in chief is not strong enough for such an enterprise. The allied troops are therefore left to deal with strongholds on the south side of the harbour of Sebastopol safe from interruption. They occupy the heights which overhang the town and harbour on the south from Cape Cherso nesus to the Tchernaya. From the head of the south bay or harbour, the deepest indentation on the south side, they look down, immediately to the east, upon Fort Prul, the docks and the barracks which s urround them, the and beyond these upon the C a reening Bay. From same point they look down, immediately to the west, The council of the borough of Scarborough availed themselves of the visit of Lord John Ressell to present him with a congratulatory address, which was unani mously agreed to at a meeting held on, Wednesday, the 27th ult. The address was presented on Friday last. Lord John Russell replied in the following terms : "Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen — I am ver y sensible of the kindness which has prompted you to address me on this my first visit to your ancient borough, The legis lative measures which have contributed so . largely in our day to the extension of the civil and religious liber ties of the nation, and those which have in so great a degree promoted the material prosperity of all classes have received my cordial support. But the enlightened voice of the country, and the favour of the Almighty, gave to these measures the success for which we have all so much reason to be grateful. You have the happi ness to enjoy the advantages of a healthy position and an exemption, which I trust will long continue, from epi demic disease. Your vigilance as a municipality will, I doubt not, be exerted to prevent or to mitigate those evils which grow with the growth and strengthen with the strength of our proud and populous cities. So long as I am allowed a part in the proceedings of Parliament y attention will be devoted to the task of domestic im provement. Progress is conservative of institutions such as our own, which are founded on the principle that the liberties of the kingdom are the birth-right of its people." The Council then withdrew. Lady Russell and the Hon Miss Russell were present during the proceedings. LORD JOHN RUSSELL ON HUSH EDUCATION. The Dublin Protestant Publication Committee have succeeded in obtaining from the President of the Coun cil a letter in reply to an address forwarded to his Lord ship from that body on the subject of religious education in Ireland. Lord John thus expresses his views :... " Filey, September 26. " Sir,—l had the honour of reviving some time ago an address of the Committee of the Protestant Publication Society of Dublin. "My support of the British and Foreign School Society has been publicly given as a member of that society. "My support of the National system of education in Ireland, as introduced by Lord Dgiby, has been also pub licly defended by me as a Minister and a member of Par liament. _ " In supporting both systems 1 have endeavoured to pro mote education in a manner that was practicable. The great majority of the people of England are content to read the Bible in the authorised version, and aecept that ver - sion as a true exposition of the Word of God. "This is unhappily not the case in Ireland, and hence has arisen the system of the National Board, which, since its est ,blishment by Lord Derby, has done great good, and will, I trust, by the blessing of God, diffuse still more widely than it has hitherto done very useful, although very imperfect, instruction. " I have the honour to be, sir, " Your most obedient servant, " J. RUSSELL. " Philip R. Patman, Esq., 24, Wellington-quay, Dublin." THE RIGHT HON. W. BERESPORD AND HIS CONSTITUENTS. Mr. Beresford, the late Secretary-at-War, addressed a large number of his constituents on Friday last, at a dinner given by the Conservative Club at Castle Heding ham. The right hon. gentleman defended bits elf at great length from the charges preferred against him in the well known Derby case, and concluded his speech as follows: — "Now, I will only add, that though we have struggled for protection to the landed interest, instead of our bur thens being diminished they are doubled, as witness the income tax and the malt tax. (Hear, hear.) But there is something left to struggle for that's worth it--I mean that Protestantism which was delivered to us, secured by the blood of our fathers ; and let future generations say whether, if we have submitted to the tricks of the Coali tion, we would yield to the tyranny of a popish majority. (Loud cheers.) It is now nearly fourteen years since I first became connected with the representation of Essex or its boroughs, and I will honestly tell you that during that time' I can only call to mind two votes that I feel ashamed of. When, in 1842, I was member for the bo rough of Harwich, I voted against my own feelings, and I have suffered severely for it. The circumstances were these—Sir James Graham was the Secretary of State for the Home 'Department—a very able man, but I will say nothing of the other qualities a Secretary of State ought to possess, and he had opened the private let ters of Mr. Thomas Duncombe, who brought the mat ter before the House of Commons. I was a supporter of the conservative government, which we had laboured so strenuously to bring in, thinking that it would do justice to the country. After listening to everything that was said in the debate, I was so disgusted with the whole transaction that I rose to leave the house, when one of our friends seeing me get up, said—" Beresford is going to bolt." He followed me and urged me not to desert the party at a pinch, and leave them in a fix and difficulty. I went back and voted with Sir James Gra ham against my conscience and feeling, not liking the man, but wishing to stand by the party. The majority on that occasion was one, two, or three, I do not know which. I did not like Sir J. Graham then. I could not bear that evil eye, that sinister look, that malicious leer, that face which he put on to conceal the fear beneath, for he was a coward I knew, and it it had not been for the party I would have gone away and left him to his fate for having opened another gentleman's letters. (Cheers.) The other was a vote on that free trade re solution, affirming that free trade had promoted plenty, and the cheapness of all articles of existence, when immediately afterwards came high prices and star vatiog. I could hardly drag my body into the lobby that night to give the vote, but the party were in such a position that they could not halo it, and I went to bed more unhappy that night than I ever was before. (Hear.) If my health should break down and I should not in future be able to serve you as I desire, and you find some one more honest and talented than myself, I will yield the place to him, but while I remain the member for North Essex, I pledge myself to the support of those principles you have often heard me avow, and I will net be caught voting against them through the solicitations of the whipper-in or the cour tesy and promises of those who would delude ,me." ,Loud cheers.) THE "4Gth" REGIMENT.--SCENE AT TIME ELEPHANT AND CASTLE. Yesterday morning, about half-past nine o'clock, a i scene took place at the Elephant and Castle, Newington, i which showed that the popular feeling regarding the con duct of the officer of the 46th Regiment, relative to the case of Lieutenant Perry, has not in the slightest degree abated. A small detachment of the above regiment, in cluding several officers, was marched along in the middle of the ror.d way opposite the Elephant towards the New Kent-road, for the purpose of proceeding to the New cross station of the South Eastern Railway, when a number of persons who were standing to see them pass, mistook them for another regiment, and cried out loudly, here are some more of the brave defenders of their country. However, one of the bystanders, more obser vant than the others, espied the numerals " 46" on the front of the men's hats, and immediately called out " Oh, my, it's the 46th, let's ask them what they have done with poor Perry." This seemed to act like a spark on a train of gunpowder, producing a perfect explosion of expletives, such as the following :—" Oh, I really can not recollect." " Don't you see they have got 9&07t DZz record() on their flag ?" " Did you ever see such a set ?" and " No, no, the men are all right, it's the officers we mean." " Has Lieutenant Greet gone home to his mother ?" and other similar witticisms. At this junc ture an officer wearing a cocked hat passed lalong the pavement, and was met with a genehras was of " Here's Colonel Garrett himself ;" regarded with by no means some one exclaiming that it Ws ; the ; w e a l turned the regiment, and not Colonel Garrett, ange. the into mirth, the prevailing cry being'„ Oh, It only re pleasa?_ t a looks,eo n but way, as the detachment proce?

The nucleus of such a museum has been already contributed by a large proportion of the exhibitors at the recent Educational Exhibition at St. Martin's Hall. The receipts at the doors and the special subscriptions in aid of the exhibi. tion are still considerably below the actual expenditure; but the council of the society naturally hope that this important result having been igained further voluntary subscriptions will be made, so that the deficit may' be met without the ordinary income of the !moiety being 1 trenched upon, • ii Theacseount given of Russia, by Talleyrand—that has an obsolute monarchy limited by assassination — has been true from the time the Romanoffs ascended the throne till the present century. The important question whether the nation has advanced so as to be capable of enforcing a better limitation is that which now rises above the horizon of many minds. The first of the Romanoff Czars was an elected monarch. The empire had been so afflicted by civil wars, and by con- Sequent famine—during which mothers slew and ate their own children—that the nobles actually agreed on the election of a Czar in 1613. They chose Michael Romanoff, son of the Bishop of Rostof. It is worth re membering this fact, for the sake of the hope it suggests that the nobles have not gone back in the interval, and that, as t r ue Romano& came in by election, they may out by the same method, when their rule has become incompatible with the welfare of the empire. This family, almost every reigning member of which has died in consequence of his personal vices—either by assassi nation or disease—was at first, prior to the use of power, a fair representation of the nation. All of them have had strong passions and stubborn self-will ; more or less kindliness, of a vague sort, towards people who were not in their way, with a propensity to cruelty or provocation ; an extravagant love of parade, of one sort and another, covering up grossness and sordidness ; a narrow intellect, and little or no heart. Nicholas is a complete type of the Itomanoffs. The time is at baud for showing whether the Romanoffs are still a type of the Russians. Their ignorance, scarcely conceivable to the educated classes of free countries, is an unavoidable attribute of their own nobles, in the ordinary state of affairs. It remains to be seen whether collision with other nations has introduced any of the enlightenment which would best show itself by the removal of Nicholas from the throne without any question of assassination at all. The present condition of things is this. Every boast of the Sovereign has been stultified—every pretension has been mortified—the assumptions of Divine appoint ment and of infallibility have been thoroughly exploded —the landowners are beggared as to serfs and money— the merchants are ruined—the financiers handle nothing but paper money—territory is lost—armies cannot stand their ground—and navies are at the mercy of the Allies. Now, nothing like this has happened during the reigns of former Romanoffs. New circumstances have arisen ; and it will soon be seen how fit the effective part of the nation is to deal with them. . Peter the Great added to his empire the provinces of Livonia, Esthonia, Ingria, Carelia, aid a portion of the northern coa'st of the Gulf of Finland. Catherine's additions are only too painfully remembered—the large portion of Poland and Lithuania, Gallicia, Courland, and Taurida, including the Crimea. Alexander annexed Georgia and other Transcaucasian territory , Bessarabia, Finland, and Swedish Lapland. Nicholas has taken more Transcauca sian territory, destroyed the remnant of Poland, and put out his feelers in various directions, with a view to future annexotione. But by his too vehement rapacity he has brought this work of annexation to a sudden stop; and he has not only lost his chance of annexing the Danube and thci Greek archipelago, but is losing ter ritory which has long been called Russian. The world is watching to see what his subjects will do in conse quence. His infallibility and his invulnerability are gone. Will they permit the substance of the empire to go with it ? The inquiry is interesting, not only for phi losophical and historical reasons, but because it beans immediately upon the prospects of the war. In finding the answer, we must remember that though the so-called educated classes in Russia can obtain no reliable political information in ordinary course, they do get it by means of war. No one has better reason to know this than Nicholas himself. He knows that his empire and his life hung by a thread, thirty years ago, through this very fact. Russian officers returning from the war in ISI4 brought new ideas about society and government into their homes and social meetings ; and the consequence was that conspiracy which waylaid him at the threshold of his palace, on the death of Alexander. He is aware, too, that his officious haste to help Austria to crush Hungary has brought retribution in the same shape. Not only his officers, but his lowest soldiers, came back from Hungary quite altered men ; with ideas in their heads, and aspirations on their tongues,—and perhaps projects in petto, to be confided in sacred mo ments of confidence. Will there, or will there not, be ac tion, a3a,result of this ? And if so, what will the action be These are questions in which the whole world has an interest. The army of the Czar cannot Eet foot in a foreign country, nor meet an enemy in the field, without encountering ideas. What use will they snake of them ? Thirty years since, the project ear to dethrone and slay the Czar, and set up a new method of government. Has there been an advance since that time which, sti mulated by mortification and lo.s, will induoe a better project? Any project of better government, and of saving the empire from the curse of a bad man's stubborn will, must involve his dethronement. The world may well hope that thelvulgar barbarism of assassination will be seemed in Ea great a cause. It seems as if banishment must be the proper punishment of this troubler of his generation. ile can trouble foreign countries only from the throne of his own ; and he can interest nobody abroad to give him his crown again. Away from his superstitious subjects, he would have no adherents who could help him back. An Autocrat has no party at home, and has established no political interest abroad. Nicholas deposed and rendered harmless, who should succeed him ? Here would be the test of the real ad vance of the determined portion of the Russian people. The utmost wisdom would be shown in the deepest hu mility as to the political capacities of the nation. No body expects a good political condition for Russia for centuries to come, seeing that she is just a thousand years behind the rest of Europe in civilisation ; but the thing that is reasonable 'to hope from people who will have the sense to dethrone the tyrant,. and spare his life, is that they will lay aside desires of foreign con quest, turn all their energies full upon their national con dition, and thus pass naturally and, if possible, peace ably, frgns the military stage of civilisation to a higher. That it can be done peaceably we do riot venture to hope, seeing what the serf•systern of Russia is. That there must be a servilewar sooner or later we only too clearly apprehend ; but no less clearly do we see that the most fatal course of all is to go on, as at present, offering aggression which ends in defeat, and staking all upon, an issue which may steep the empire in blood and wretchedness, or explode it altogether. If the effective inhabitants know anything of what is doing, they ought to be preparing for such concerted action as placed the first Romanoff on the throne. And if ye are wondered at for offering friendly counself to such people, we say again. what we have said from the beginning, that we wish all good to the " subjects" of the Czar—to the people of Russia—whom we know to have no cause to be our ene mies, and no voice to tell us that they are our friends.— Daily News. EARL GRANVILLE ON THE TVA.. At the dinner succeeding the review of the Stafford• shire Yeomanry on Friday last, Earl Granville, in re plying to the toast, " Her Majesty's Ministers," said : There is one feeling which I entertain strongly—that if her Majesty's Ministers could reproach themselves with the loss of those precious lives. which have been sacri ficed in the Crimea, by the reflection that they had in the slightest way let slip any opportunity of maintaining peace, I believe if they could have forgiven themselves the country never would have forgiven them. I believe that that peace being no longer possible, they acted in unison with the opinion of all political parties in this country when they felt that the war must be vigorously carried on, not only for the maintenance of the honour of this country—not merely for the settlement of the present question, but with the hops of maintaining peace for many years to come. (Cheers.). I believe I may say that the finest army has gone to the East whluh was ever sent to a foreign country. Lord Raglan has under his command 102 guns of very heavy calibre. When you compare these with the six guns which Wel lington /as able to collect in battle array, it does show that at all events we have not fallen into that great error which characterised the Government of the day when the greatest commander which this country ever knew was in command. lam almost afraid to state the great amount of ammunition which has been Bent out. If I were to state it to you it would almost sound like the tale of Baron Munchausen. I may, however, say that if it is all used it will actually wear out those 102 guns to which I have referred. Government did not conceal from themselves the great responsibility of their urging on the commanders of both services an attack on Sebas topol. They were not ignorant of the opinion entertained by many distinguished officers of every country a in E most urope —that, if not impracticablejth e attempt wawadd.- ficult nature, but they did feel that the integrity and in dependence of Turkey key of the position, and they was a mere joke so long as that fortress was deemed impregnable, situated, as it is i n , assistance of the French, of the very centre of the Black Sea, - as the only port froth which vesicle can come .in or go out with safety—they A. landing could achieve all that it was f d e i l d t thathte think h tha t , a w t the , as wi th v th er e y ean exploit whose straightforward and loyal conduct it is impossible has to speak in too high terms, these two forces, actin g in I n i tl e ie n v t e e t r h n a l t e( t i o em b .

If, on the other hand, N we should be successful, I believe the Government will act only in accordance with the public feeling of the country, by showing that we must not rest on our oars. but that we must redouble our efforts to gain the victory —(cheers)—and I cannot help feeling that though it would be highly criminal in any Government to be car ried away by the excitement of military glory, of which, God knowe, we have had enough in this country, and to refuse to make a peace when that peace could be made perfectly consistent with the honour, dignity, and inte rests of this country, and with the interests of Europe and the cause of justice and humanity, yet on the other hand I do feel that if the horrors of war are unnecessarily prolonged by the enemy—if those terrible resources n country, are considerable, are rendered necesnsary_, will if precious lives, both of our own soldiers, a . d, I i cod it must be add, the soldiers of the enemy, are saorifi • . felt that the rigour o f the terms imposed should be in p ro portion to the sacrifice occasioned!
