TO THE BRAVE.—Late events prove how impossible it. Is to iesist the military and naval power of England and France united. Russian despotism is at an end. Victory crowns the forces and cheers every one with the pro spect of a speedy sett'ement of an exoensive war, from victories abroad, and instinctively turn to victories at home achieved with the same degree of skill and enterprise, though directed In another channel. Every one Rill observe how E. MOSES and SON have succeeded in their magnificent plans for Autumn and Winter, the novelties they !Live-secured, the splendid styles of Attire they have invented, the superiority in the materials and workmanship of their seasonable Dress, the correctness and despatch with which they attend to all orders, and the application of their provisions 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 Soil will resist all the storms which may battle with the traveller er street passenger. The Light Artiller , of their Paletots will stand the tug of Autumn with the most victorious resistance—the new one they have invented and which they will sell for 255., is an union of elegance, comfort, and economy, which is per ectly victorious over all previous intro ductions, and the vast sock of fancy goods they have just received from France, sabmitted to the operations of the most skil:ul and the best artists and workmen in the world, are the victories of elegance and fashion which every one will celebrate. Their new stocl of Hats, Caps, Hosiery for ladles and gentlemen, Soots and Shoes, &c., are the victorious expressions of supe rior quality and economical prices. The victories of Commerce in the Wholesale Clothing Depart ment may be shared by Merchants, Captains, and others, the stock of Clothing, Shirts, Boots and Shoes, &c., for export is larger, better, and more suitable than any other, the goods are soonest sold, and produee large profits in any plrt of the world, in consequence of the economical prices charged by E.

The Government steam-tug Confiance was imme diately sent to her assistance, and has brought on shore about 150 passengers ; she has in all about 250, and a full cargo. All endeavours to get her off have as yet proved ineffectual. She is lying in a very awkward posi tion, having struck the rock a little abaft amidships. Her bow is almost under water ; her forward coin partment.is full of water ; her other compartments are perfectly dry. The cause of the accident was through keeping too near the shore. Captain Hooker, her com mander, was on leave. Sixty of her passengers were bound to Sydney in the Thomas Boddingtou, chartered rtlerAx was ed ja bythe Government, and now lying in t he Sound. going at the rage of nine knots an hour when she struck. The shock is stated to have been very great. Fortunately, there is little wind or swell up, and hopes are entertained that in the morning she will be got off. The authorities have been requested to send lumps out, to heave her off. The crew and captain will remain on board the Monarch steamer, near the ship, during the night.

EDINBURGH, Thursday Evening.—The Queen, Prince Albert, and the five senior members of their youthful family, arrived at Holyrood Palace, this evening, from Balm ral Castle. The royal travellers left Balmoral about nine o'clock in the morning, and posted down the valley of the Dee to Banchory, the terminus of the newly-opened Dec-side Railway. They commenced their railway journey to the Scotch metropolis at half-past 12, passing Ferryhill (Aberdeen) at 1.10, and reaching Stonehaven at-1.40, where a delay of half-an-hour took place for lunchen. The royal train passed Forfar about half-past three . and Pcirth - about half-pact four, and arrived at Edinburgh (St. Margaret's station) at ten minutes: before Seven. At the differe►it terminal sta tions, where brief stoppages toe( place, there was a considerable attendance of spectatOrs:` The distance of the railway journey is 180 miles, and the running time about 33 miles an hour. The day throughout was-beau tiful. The Queen's train comprised three splendid .sa loon carriages belonging to the Great Northern. Rail way Company; her Majesty, her Royal Consort, the. Prince of Wale; and the Princ"eis Royal occupying the centre saloon, and the two younger Princesses with the ladies of the suite the first, and Prince Alfred with his tutor the-last. Both the young Princes wore kilts. Notwithstanding that her Majesty's arrival in Edin burgh took place after dusk, there were large numbers' of well-dressed persons assembled in the park, and, although the Royal party drove from St. Margaret's sta tion to Holyrood in closed carriages, they were•cordially cheered in passing.

Tho folio wing address of the corporation is from the pen of the Recorder of Hull, Samuel Warren, Esq., Q.C., D.C.L. "TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. "May it please your Majesty, " We, your dutiful and devoted subjects, the mayor, aldermen, and burgesses of the borough of Kingston-upon- Hull, humbly approach your Majesty to express our ardent loyalty, and the pride and exultation with which, on this auspicious occasion, we hail the appearance ationgst us of our beloved Queen, and her Royal Consort anti children. " At any time would a visit from your Mis.jesty to this borough be a source of high gratification to all your loyal subjects within it, but more especially is it so at a time when your Majesty's arms, in conjunction with those of your allies, have been blessed with meat signal success. "The existence of our town can be traced to a very re mote period; and it has, with its inhabitants, from time to time, been honoured with special manifestations of Royal favour. The port rith which it is connected, having be come, as early as the reign of your Majesty's fa,-none pre decessor King Riehard 1., the sixth of importance in the kingdom, subsequently attracted, from its peeulim- advau tage of position, the notice of your Majesty's great prede cessor King Edward 1., wko changed its original name, honoured it with its present royal appellation of King's Town-upon-Hull; shortly afterwards created it a free borough, with many important privileges, and also con ferred upon it the distinction, more than once, of a Royal visit, towards the close of his long and glorious reign. Since that period, this borough (which, in the year 1410, was constituted a county of itself), has been several times similarly distinguished by your Majesty's royal pre decessors, one of whom, Ring Henry the Eighth, paid it two visits, each of several days' duration, iu the year 1541, presenting to the mayor (on one of these occasions) the sword which he himself then wore. The mayor being then already authorised by acharter of one of your royal predecessors (King Henry the Sixth) to have a sword borne erect before hint, in the name of the Sovereign, when out of the royal presence. " Upwards of two centuries have now elapsed since this borough received a royal visit ; this of your Majesty at the commencement of the eighteenth year of your prosperous and happy reign, being tho first that has been paid to it by a Queen of England. So signal an event will constitute henceforth the brightest among those which our annals record. With whatever splendour your Majesty has been, or may be, received elsewhere in your dominions, suffer us to assure your Majesty that we will yield to none of our fellow-subjects in fervent love and loyalty to your Majesty, and-in gratitude for the memorable distinction which you have been pleased this day to confer upon us. . 0 " We trust that your Majesty will be pleased with such indications as you may see of our persevering efforts to develops to the utmost those great local advantages which constitute the claim of this port to ra.nk high in mercantile and maritime importance. We venture to remind your. Majesty, that through the favour of your illustrious grand father, Kiug George 111., those eaten sive walls and moats which had been constructed for warlike purposes several centuries before, and which extended from the river Hull to the Humber, were removed, in order that on their site might be constructed (happily more in accordance with the spirit and requirements of the times) those convenient and capacious docks now constituting the distinctive character of this important eastern seaport, which now ranks the third in the United Kingdom, being next to London and Li zerpool in the amount of customs received. " Wherever your Majesty move's you are hailed, as here, by the enthusiastic acclamations of your subjects, wholhave always seen everythinc , to love and revere in your Ma jesty's personal character, p and behold in, you her whom God has set to rule over one of the greatest empires upon earth; your sceptre a sceptre of mercy and love, anti your throne fixed in the affections of your pc , ,ple so immovably that it remained firm whilst many other thrones appeared • insecure. " We believe that no Sovereign ever sat on the throne of these realms more distinguished than. your Majesty by a personal and ever watchful ir.terest in the welfare of every class of your subjects, and more anxious to secure to all, without any distinction, the fullest participation in the blessings of civil and religious liberty afforded by our in comparable institutions. " We humbly supplicate Almighty God, to whom the do vout prayers of the nation constantly ascend on behalf of your Majesty and your Royal Consort, and family, that He, whose authority you have, may vou.clasafe to your Majesty a long continuance of that favour mad protection with which He has hitherto so evidently ble iced your Majesty, and in you your happy people; long preserving to your 'Majesty and your Royal Consort and &rally the unruffled serenity of your private life, and so lightening the heavy pressure of your public cares, by the unwavering love of your Royal family, and devotion of your loyal people ;, and we shall never cease to pray that after you have done His will upon earth, you may receive from the King of kings a crown of glory that fadeth not away " Given under the c onimon seal of our corporation, this 6th day of October, in the 18th year of the reign of your Ma jr and in the year of our Lord, 1854." " TO HIS ROYAL lIIGHNESS THE PRINCE. " May it please your Royal Highness. • " We, the mayor, aldezmen, and burgessesof the borough of Kingston upon-Hull, most respectfully and cordially greet your Royal Highness, as the Consort of our beloved Queen, and offer you a. hearty welcome to this loyal and ancient borough. It cannot, we trust, but afford satisfac tion to your Royal Highness to feel that you have long ago acquired the admirati en, confidence, and affection of the whole nation, so benignantly ruled over by our gracious Queen. "A visit from her 'Majesty and you, her Royal Consort, to this borough, woir.ld at all times bo the source of high gratification to the iishabitrarts, but the more especially is it so at a time when her Majesty's arms, in conjunction with those of her have been blest with signal success. "The personal &in:meter and conduct of your Royal Highness may indeed well endear you, alike to her Majesty, to your august family, and to ell her Majesty's .subjects throughout the world. Her Majesty's alliance with a prince of your ancien,-, and renowned house,was, of itself, a subjeck of national rokicing ; and we do but expreis the profound appreciation of universal feeling of the country in acknowledging the spirit of this enlightened supreme discretion which your Royal Highness has mani '3"d n ( enduring oifhtlte bold upon the respect and ftaeliseet'en(wia affection'toh iniocnohaafl give t ic° ll vhce i ca s - ayr s c aoi o c:t r: : n iasr t i r y, and also of every civilised com munity. While a zealous and discriminating friend of scholarship and philosophy, you have ever been foremost in advancing the cause of practical philanthropy, as based upon the hallowed and hallowing principles of morality and religion. " To the persevering energy and sagacity of your Royal Highness we were mainly indebted for that transcendant wonder of our age, tiny Exhibition .of •the Industry of all Nations, which, while it charmed and instructed all classes in our own country to an extent without parallel in our history, also attracted to• us the eyes of every other civilised _ nation, giving an impuliie to industry and enterprise in every department of art and science, which will long con tinue, and from which the happiest results are following. "We trust your Royal _Richness will find that in this ancient, and we hope rising borough, we aro by no means indifferent - to the advancement of science and letters ; and that you will see with interest the new structures which are raising for our Subscription Library, and Literary and Philosophical Society, ; the latter of which your Royal Highness has been pleased to distinguish by becoming its patron, and which has been now established for upeards of 30 years, and the former for 80 years, both being in most flourishing circumstances. " We - are persuaded also that your Royal . Highness will view with interest the distinguishing - features of this lo cality, so favoured by nature for extended mercantile and maritime enterprise. Being situate on .the Humber, the finest estuary in the kingloni, and in close proximity to the mouths of the great riveis., the Hull, Ouse, and Trent, they, with their tributary streams ; and the canals branch ing from them, combined with the rapidly-increasing faci lities for access, and, transit afforded by railways, which now communicate with London through the greatest menu factiiring districts' of the country, and with Liverpool, thereby connecting the Irbil Sea with the German Ocean, confer peonliar advantages for the conveyance of, the pro ductions of a large spp.ce of country to Hull, and for re ceiving and transmitting foreign merchandise. Wo trust that the sight of our extensive and commodious harbour, docks, warehouses, and the shipping crowding our port, will gratify your Royal Highness, as evidencing .our dispo sition to make the most of our resources, and the success ,vhich has already so far attended our efforts that Hull has become the third shipping port in the kingdom. - " Wo trust that God may long spare to her Majesty, your august children, and the nation at largo, a life so dear and valuable to all, as that of your Royal Highness, to continue exhibiting to every man in the kingdom, high and low, a . ,pattern for the perfprinance of the duties of life in every station, and especially to him whoin the pro vidence of "God may hereafter assign the sceptre of these realms, and also to all the Royal family ; on behalf of whom, together with our beloved Queen and your Royal Higness, our fervent and trustful prayers ever ascend for your welfare, both here and hereafter, to the Almighty God and Father of us all.

The Ayr Advertiser has a letter from a corporal in • - the 42d Highlanders The enemy opened a deadly fire, which killed 'a large number of.our troops before we got round the burning viliages. -After clearing the houses we had to cross tl,e river, the troops dashing in up to" the waist in water. On gaining the opposite bank we weregreatly scattered, neither marening in line uor column. Very soon alter, however, we formed in line and advanced.

When we reached the top we were met by a Russian regiment in spiare, which we speedily routed ; but our cavalry ano artillery not getting through the river in time prevented our completely' destroying them. Some of the regi ments lost their colours and retook them again, .so you may guess it was very close work. The French fought like tigers. Some of them slung their muskets over their shoulders and swam across the river. A battle field is truly a horrid place. We have no tents, and are obliged to lie down amid the dead and dying. One of the 93d Highlanders writes in the Plymouth Journal: The enemy soon opened fire, and I must confess I felt my heart leap to my mouth' as I saw a nine pound shot alight within a few feet of me. We took ground to the left then, near the village we had a river to cross. We halted' then before' the river. Sir Colin Camp= bell gave the word to _advance, and we splashed through the river, which was three feet deep, and mounted the hill under a heavy cannonade,• and cross fire of musketry. There was a regiment in advance ; the 77th, I think. They would not go up, and we broke through them, and charged up the hill. The balls flew. about like hail. When I saw two men next to me fall (one was shot through the head, and the other in the brsast), I thought we should never get up. Sir C. Campbell . cried, "Hurrah for Scotland." The sight of the kilt and feather bonnets was too much, and when we got to the top we opened a fire upon them which made them drop like crows, and made them run for their lives. • Thus ended our first day's fight. In the Glasgow Mail is a letter from a private (42d Highlanders) : • - • I went out to the battle field, the. day after the battle to look around me, but I will never do so again as long as I live if I can avoid it. You could not go a yard for miles roiled but you would see men on the ground with beads off, arms and legs off, and some cut through alto gether : it'made my heart sick for the rest of the day. Horses, knapsacks, firolocks, swords, and big guns. 0, my God ! what an awful sight ! Thousands dead and dying and covered with blood. _ _ Another of the 42d, whose letter is in the Edinburgh Courant, writes : Sir Colin Campbell called out to us, '"Come on, Forty secoud 1" but we did not require any coaxing on, as we made our way up the steep hill, driving them before us, their shots v, hi-thing about our ears like hail, we, in re turn, making ours tell upon them. •Every one who saw our regiment advancing thought that we would be cut off to a man ; but, instead of that, we were the means of saving two other regiments on our right, on whom the Russians were making some havoc. WC let drive at them in grand order, and, on seeing our determined front, and thinking they were going to be attacked 133, cavalry, they turned about and fled in confusion, making a running fire, we still advancing, and firing into them in grandstyle. We got orders to cease firing several ti•ne2, but of no avail, for as long as we thought they, were within reach of our guns we peppered it into them. The Caledonian& Mercury has a letter from a soldier in Sir Colin Campbell's brigade, who writes : After the battle, Lord Raglan, the Duke of Cam bridge, and Sir Colin Campbell, the General of our bri gade' with all.the staff, carne up to our regiment, and hated in front of the colours, which were unfurled, and complimented the regiment in a very gratifying manner, and said that we would be particularly mentioned in the Government despatches. The Duke also did us justice. Sir Colin Campbell was fairly .overjoyed with his High land brigade. He rode forward to Lord Raglan, and said that as - he had been kind to him from his boyhood, that he wished to ask him one favour, and that was, that he would allow him to wear one of our feather bon nets,' which request was.granted him on the spot. Our Colonel, Cameron, declared afterwards .that he did not know till then that be had such a regiment. The Chelmsford Chronicle has a letter from a'pritrate of the 7th Fthdliers I was tired. wth carrying a load on my back before got into the fight, but alt.a I got through the river and into the fight I did riot feel the load at for I look4d over my.shoidder to see if I had it on my back, for it felt as if I had nothing on, and it was safe. -A sergeant of the Will Itegiment,writes :• The light division rd vaneel under a very heavy fire. Shot, shell, grape, and ainister poured da wn upon us as good a annila as I' can'give i 3 thrlitriug a handful of peZt at a few men, the gri - pe came 111110 . 117:tit us so quick. I was with our colours ; Ensign Stockwell fell dead, and Sergeant Hargraves wounded ; one officer and two ser geants escaped, that is, I and Sergeant Barson. We brad two officers and three sergeants escorting the colours. God only knows how I escaped, men on each Side falling by two and three at a time. I bad one narrow escape—a rifle or musket hall went through my cap, just brushing my hair. The Russians made a good stand for the second battery.—Nottingliam Review. A private in the Royal Artillery describing the retreat of the enemy, says :--- The Russians fought well, and made a beautiful re treat, and in good order too. They aro not such poor soldiers as the papers represent them to be ; but we think the Russian commander had his picked troops here, .for they stood and have made great havoc amongst the British. The 7th Fusiliers lost their colours, and the Russians got hold of them too, but the 79th charged them, and they charged them three times before they succeeded in getting them back. The 7th Fusiliers were cut up tremendously by the Russian bat teries. They fired nothing but shell. It was a strong and tremendous fight, all the French, 'English, and Russian artillery firing shell at once, close to one another, and the line. and cavalry charging all at.oae time. It began at one o'clock, and all was over at four, so I will leave you to form some idea what it was. We took a Russian general prisoner. ' Ile said they did not think the English were coming against them at first, but wheii they knew, they said they must do their best. They had orders to fire into the Euglish as much as their position would allow. We have some more Russian prisoners. They are to go to C mstantinople with the sick and wounded. All the women are gone house ; there . was a large steamer full of them. What we have lost up here has not disheartened us a bit, and has not caused any giving way in our spirits,' but has pia fresh courage in us. Lord Raglan gave the artillery - great,praise. The horses charged well, and stood the fire capitally. The artillery only lost 35 and three officers. The Russians made a charge over a bridge, which they intended to de stroy as soon as they got over, so that we could not get after them, but to their great surprise they found us over nearly as soon as they. They are big men, most of them, and some of their dresses .are rather curious. The Russian artillery .had. great poles stuck up at every 100 yards, to mark the ranges, to that as soon as we got inside these poles we 'We're within fire, and they directly opened on us. They had all the charges for different ranges ready without elevating, so it 'was a wide-awake move. They load the cartridge and shell all at once, the shell being fasVned to the car tridge with glue. This was done for quickness. I will give the Russian Artillery credit for their performance. I could go into a detail of the action, and the strange scenes, sights, and vicissitudes of an action like this, and of a war campaign, that would fill a newspaper, but suf fice it to say that we and the French are in good cheer. We came out to overthrow the enemy, and overthrow them we will. They have not the Turks to deal with now, but the Lions and Eagles. We get plenty to eat and drink, and tobacco ; so far that is all we want. The Nottingham Journal has the following letter from an officer of the 331 Regiment : My dear Father,—We have fought and conquered. I am, thank God, alive, but not so sound as I could wish, having been wounded through the thigh by a musket shot ; but it is not a dangerous one, and the doc tor tells me I shall " be all right again very soon, and my leg will not be cut off this time." The game began ou the river Alma, where the enemy bad an immensely strong entrenched camp on the opposite bank, with several heavy batteries, which opened upon us as soon as we got within range ; their gunnery practice was very good. The light division was in front, and we were ordered to lie down whilst our artillery gave them some pills, and the shells and shot whistled through us right and left. In our front, between us and the river (N was a vineyard (No. 1), and immediately on the opposi te to side a steep bank; on the top the foe was p osted what thus— 3 4 5 2 After our artillery had played upon them for some time, General Browne rode up to us and said, "Now lads, a gallant push, and across." ‘Ve advanced under a most galling tire, which made many a gap in our hue ; but we dashed over, and formed under the hank (3), btlt tbe rascals who were in skirm i s hin g ord er on the top (4) pite:ied into us from above, so we dashed at theM and drove them back : but not having any support, we w ere ' forced to retire for a short distance until th e G ,l ca me up and charged up the kill (4).

I Ocronn 3.—=-The return of the French division of the fleet, together with General Baraguay d'Hilliers and the land forces, to Cherbourg, the departure for England of General Jones, commandant of the Engineers, and the sailing from Nargen of the Neptune, 120. the St. George, 12Q, the : Prince Regent, 90, and the Monarch, 84, for Kiel, Holstein, and thence to Spitheak indicate the ter mination of the campaign in the Baltic .for the present year, and the suspensionof any further active operations until the spring of 1855. Under an impression that there is yet ample time for carrying out further successful enterprises, much sur plice has been cre:AA at the probability that at an early p?riod the whole fleet will return to the English coast. But such a step is absolute l y necessarythat the iwiAerous weather has set in, the more especially so with sentrC p e t c i t m t e o t_ to e thela r g v e i cn shim, tv o t f o ccornodnsutcatawwhieh at ouide n t d h e p a ng r; their.safety, and ,rni;lit pos4bly result in great damage to many, if not in the loss of some of them. _ admitting that Cronst adt were reached by the fleet_ without hating sustained any injury, - it could not be -successfully attacked without the co operation of a large body of troops. To approach within 500 yards of the louts wou!d be no easy task, and, ere our ships could g.t suffieieotly near to produce by their broadsides auc off,let on the granite batteries, the chances are that they would be severely crippled by the cross fire of the larze number of guns that would be brought to bear upon them as they proceeded one by one up the narrow channel which leads to the harbour. Hence it has been deemed advisable to defer until the ensuing year the bombardment either of Hel singfors or Cronstadt. By that time a sufficient number of land forces will be at hand to assist in the demolition of these two strongholds of the enemy, to be followed by the capture of the whole of the ships now lying in their harbours. The main body of the fleet will not leave the Baltic before the poisibility of the Russian ships coming out into the open sea is precluded by natural causes. At Sweaborg the ice is beginning to form in -shore, at Cronstadt it will do so in the course of another fort night, and, before the end of the month it will have accumulated sufficiently to prevent the egress, from either of those ports, of the naval forces of the Russians. Daring the present campaign mach has, in reality, been accomplished. The Czar bas been deeply humi dated by fall of Biinarsuud, the fortifications of which occupied several years in their construction, at an expense of six millions of money ; he has caused the forts at Hango to be razed to the ground, in order, it would appear, to spare the allies the trouble of doing so. The coasting trade in the Baltic has been completely stopped by the efficient blockade of the various ports. Those are the results of the first year's campaign, to 'be hdlo wed up in the ensuing season by operations on a much greater scale. In my despatch of the 26th ult. I gave in detail the daily movements, &c., of the fleet up to the previous evening. In continuation lam enabled to furnish the following intelligence. Oo the 25th ult. a court-martial assembled on beard the Neptune, 120, which was attended by the captains and commanders of the various ships, for the trial of Mr. J. H. Glover, the senior lieutenant of the steam sloop Rosatuond, on the following charge : " For having, on the afternoon of the 21st of Auguit, when engaged in conversation with Mr. Lyttleton, the surgeon, laid hold of his arm, saying, he would pull Mr. Lyttleton's tongue out by its roots and cleave him to the ground; or language to that effect, at the same time strik ing Mr. Lyttleton in the face with his hand." The investigation of the case occupied a considerable portion of the day. At its close the Court delivered the following sentence : "Having carefully and deliberately weighed and con sidered the evidence brought forward in support of the charge, and'also what the prismier had to offer in his own behalf, and having, further, very maturely considered the whole, the Court is of opinion that the charge is proved ; hut, in consideration .of the provocation given, do only adjudge him the said Lieutenant J. H. Glover to be slightly admonished, and ho is hereby slightly admonished accordingly. " The COut t is further of opinion that the conduct of the prisoner, j n comp'yipg with the printed instructions' and offering an ample apology, has been highly honourable, sad the c.induct of the pronocutor extremely vexatious suit reprehensible in not accepting that apology." Sept 27.—At 6 a.m. the van squadron, under the orders of Rear-Admiral Plumridge, sent aloft topgallant masts and yards. At 8 a.m. the Neptune, 120, St. George, 120; Prince Regent, 90, and Monarch; 84, shortened in cable, and at 9 a.m. weighed, the Neptune first, St. George second, the Monarch third. The Prince Regent - fouled her anchor, and was, consequently, contd. hehiod,the . other ships_in parting company with . .heil,q3t. The wind blowing fresh, then left the anchorage off Narri .. .en under reefed topsails and courses. The English steamers Driver and Hecla, the French -ateamers TPhlegethon and :Asmod63, got up steam And accotpanied• Rear-Admiral Phijinridge's squadron IVr the purpose of towing the sailing ships when neces sary to do so. In the event uf the ships parting com pany from stress of weather or other causes, they were ,rd,red to rendezvous first off Ostengen Lighthouse, 4ittrlted ou tho north-eastern I:;*efrit of the Island of Gott land • seeOndly, of Hammer Light., Bornholm ; and . _ .itir.liy, at Kid, holstein, at which port they will -ettmli fur a shun time prior to their departure for Spit licad. Tiie stezumfrigates crui.in , in the Gulf of Fitsl:todto he en,tward of Revel were recalled by sigma. The Dragon hove in sigLt at 9 a.m:anel anchored off Nay ;en, having in the nteanq.ne been reliaved by the Ma- ielenne. The ',team corvette Cruiser wa.q ordered to ;et up steam, and subsequently parted company with ;he fleet, proceeding to the westward through the st►ilth uhntriel. tier destination was supposed to be the Gulf of Botbnis►. _Sept. dense fug came on last evening, and 3ontinued until noon of to-day, precluding all communi cation by signal or othernise between the respective ships. On its clearing away, the Euryalus, 50, Captain G. Ramsey, was ordered to prepare for sailing, taking under li,er orders the Arrogant, 4G, Captain Yelverton, and Desperate, 8, Capt. E. T. C. D'Eyncourt. They sailed to Old westward on the forenoon of the 29th, to cruise off the Island of Dago. Sept. 30.—The Imperiduse, 50, Captain Watson, anchored off Nargen at 10 a.m., followed by the Dra zon, 6. Captain Wilcox. A strong breeze came on from ; all boats were recalled by signal, and com munication between the ships forbidden until further orders. By 9 p.m. the force of the wind had increased considerably—the ships riding.by one and two anchors, veering cable to 150 fathoms on the one and 90 fathoms on the other anchor.. The barometer fell to 29 . 300. By midnight it ble.v a strong gale, accompanied with heavy rain. Oct. I.—The wind has suddenly shifted to the north ward .and decreased in forge. By noon it again in creased, its direction .being west by north. Towards the close of the day, the temperature became much re duced—the thermometer indicating 42 degrees (Fahren heit), and the appearance of the sky betokening a fall_ef i-now.er sleet. Oct. 2.—The gale continued up to noon to day, but towards evening became moderate. The Basilisk steam sloop, Captain the Hon F. Egerton, arrived from,llantzie At 10 a.m., bringing the overland mail and 40 live bul locks for the fleet. When off the. Island of Faro, on the 30th ult. she spoke the squadron of sailing ships under the orders of Rear-Admiral Plumridge. The steam-gunboat Wrangle was ordered to leave for Eng land to-day, but has been detained by stress of weather. The Magicienne, 16, Captain Thomas Fisher, anchored off Nargen in the afternoon. The Russian ships in the harbour of Revel have struck their topmasts, and are dismantled for the winter season. t thear and d a arrivedne screwl o . Mr. Le Grand, surgeon of the Duke of Wellington, has been appointed by the Conimander•in-Chief Acting- Deputy-Medical Inspector of the Baltic fleet. P.S. Oct. 3.—The wind has gradually increased during the night, ; a moderate breeze is blowing. The steam gun-boat Wrangler parted company with the fleet at 6 a.m., en route for England. The Bulldog, Captain W. H. Hall, will leave at noon for Dantzic, with the overland mail. The Locust steamer was despatched at 8 a.m. on particular service. The fleet will proceed to Bare Sound in a day or two. arrivedHAm B a U t ßaj a o n C t T z e l 10.—The sitlintif.,Stleeaftra steamship, p }: , itt li i i i e s h h y fleet, vessels at o n w t N co a n ra si e s n ti , n p g r e e n p t a i r r i e n l g y o t f o l steam e j a e v r n e af paddleop for e b s e . expected age at Bar Sound and Ledsund.
