THE TRADE OF RUSSIA. TETBOUGH _NEUTAAL PORTS. The measures taken by the Allied Governments at the commencement of the present war with re ference to the trade of the enemy through neutral ports, and even with the subjects of the belligerent Powers, undoubtedly involved a wide departure from those severe principles of maritime law which this country had contended for and enforced in all previous contests. It may, indeed, be said that, practically, no war has ever interfered so little with the course of trade as the present one, and, after the experience of seven months, some opinion may be formed of the results of this new system. These results do not materially differ, except in one re spect, which we shall presently notice, from those which we anticipated when first we had occasion to discuss her Majesty's declaration of the 28th of March, and the Order in Council of April. We were perfectly aware that, in waiving the right of seizing enemy's property laden - on board neutral vessels, and in allowing all goods and merchandise whatsoever, and to whomsoever the same might belong, to be imported under a neutral or friendly flAg into any part of her Majesty's dominions, the Allied Governments had left open a broad and easy channel to the - trade of the enemy with this and other countries, limited only by such restrictions as might be put upon it by blockade ; and it would be the height of inconsistency to make it a matter of complaint that these measures have produced the effect which they were calculated to bring about. On the one hand, no doubt, the enemy has suffered less than he had reason to anticipate by the closing of his export trade ; and the rate of the exchanges_ between St. Petersburg and London show that a large amount of gold is still being re mitted to Russia in exchange for its produce ; but, on the other hand, large classes of our own country men—and, indeed, the whole community—have , been benefitted by the supply of hemp, flax, tallow, and linseed, which has reached us through the neutral ports ; and the burdens of the war have been borne with the more ease and goodwill, be cause the industrial activity and wealth of the country have not suffered from this state of hos tilities. - In short, it is impossible to inflict a severe loss on the commerce of the enemy without parti cipating in. that loss to a great extent ourselves, since we are in ordinary times his principal cus tomers ; and it is a mere question of national ex pediency whether the injury we do ourselves is more than counterbalanced by the pressure we can apply to the resources of our antagonist. One thing is certain, that it is absurd to apply restrictions on the trade of this country to which the trade of neutral States is not subject, for that would be to damage our own interests, while the indirect trade of-Russia< would remain free to the rest of the world. The British Government, acting in con junction with that of France, and having in view the pretensions of manz of the neutral States, had no option as the waiver Of the right to take enemy's property out of neutral vessels, for that principle was one which the French Government would not abandon, and which we ourselves had frequently recognised by treaty, though not in actual warfare. Moreover, even if that right of prohibiting neutrals from carrying enemy's property could have been enforced in all its ancient rigour, it would not have prevented neutrals from carrying the same commodities in the name of a neutral owner—a practice to which the law of nations can oppose no insuperable barrier. Consequently, the only belli gerent right which we had it in our power to en force-against the trade of the enemy, by whomsoever it stag carried on, was the risAt pf blockade. Oa this pant, however, the actual results have been wilal,y,different from those we were led to anti cipate, and the merchants of this country,as well as the public atlargo, have great reason to complain of the confusion and obscurity which mark all the acts and communications of the Admiralty on this subjec t. It was generally understood that, when the British Government assented to the wishes of France on the question of enemy'sgoods in neutral bottoms, we re quired and obtained from France an engagement that the right of blockade should be strictly appliedto all the ports of the Black Sea, the White Sea, and the Baltic ; and it was naturally concluded that joint and complete instructions had been sent out to the Admirals, pointing out exactly where the blockade was to be put on, and to what extent it was to be carried. We are compelled to infer from the known results, either that no such precise instructions were sent out, or that they were not executed. In the Baltic a blockade of the Russian ports has been enforced, but it was tardily notified by Sir Charles Napier; and its effect is in a great measure defeated by the proximity of the Prussian ports. In the White Sea, whereit might have been absolute, we believe that 300 or 400 vessels were permitted to to bring out their cargoes ; and in the Black Sea, where the ports north of the Danube and in the Sea of Azoff might also have been hermetically sealed, no blockade whatever hasbeen established or notified, except at the mouth of the Danube, which we ought, on the contrary, to have opened, not closed, when the Russians left the Principalities. We cannot tell who is to blame for this extraor dinary and unexpected omission, which is at vari ance with the express public declarations of the Government ; but, if any doubt existed on the subject, the Government had it in its power to remove that ,doubt by precise and authoritative instructions. The result has been that our 'own trade has' suffered under the erroneous impres sion" that a. blockade had been or would be established, while the Russian exports have gone on as .usual through the Greek houses at Constan tinople, who will realise enormous profits at our expense. In truth, then, the system of relying exclusively on blockade as a means of repression on the trade of the enemy has not been fairly tried, because the blockade itself has been singularly lax and inoperative. It. is, however, a question of great moment, which is anxiously discussed in the mercantile world, and is said to be under the consideration of the Government, to determine whether any, and, if any, what measures ought to be taken to place further restrictions on the trade of the enemy. Upon.the principles already adopted, it will not be disputed that the blockade ought to be rigorously enforced, and we have a right to ask. why that has not already been done ? But, in addition to the blockade, we know of only two other modes of proceeding—either to prohibit the importation of Russian produce into this country, or to adopt belligerent measures against those States which, under the cover of neutrality, are rendering im portant services to the enemy. With reference to the proposed prohibition of Russian produce into this country, we are aware that it is strongly urged by one class of persons whose interest in the matter is easily perceptible—namely, by merchants and others who are holders of this produce, and who would immediately run up the price of their stocks of hemp and tallow to twice the present rate ; and we are told large speculations in these articles have been geling oil under the belief that the Govern ment' would be driven to resort to some such mea sure. But this fact is in itself a strong argument against such a. restriction, and it is clear that the cost of it would fall on the consumer and manufac turer in this country much more than on . the Rus siaa producer ; for, as this prohibition would only close the ports of the British emp i re, and per haps - those of France, against Russian produce, the trade of Russia with the rest of the world would go on with the same facility as at present in neutral bottoms, and we should iinpose on ourselves a privation in which other countries would not share. Moreover, a trade which must then - be regulated by certificates of origin and special licenses opens the door to every species of equivocation, contraband, and fraud. ,The second expedient is to resort to coercive measures against those ports which serve by their geographical po sition all the purposes of Russian ports in a neu tral territory. These ports are exclusively the ports' of the old province of Prussia Proper, being part Of the - kingdom of Prussia, but specially ex cluded i n 1816 from the territory of the Germanic Confederation. As long as Prussia remains a neutral ill tike present war she is entitled to all the rights we have recognised in neutral States, but it does not whether she is a de Pend n o:n itr ussia alone to determine might render services to or a belligerent, and she , that oßussia of so positive. justified important a character we should be Justine( in declining to invest he r privileges. The restrictions a" with neutral privileges. which the belligegent Powers could resostto aea ti t her must, however, be acts of war, and would, Ilerefore, be attended with very important .political do not say that she should therce°foreecilang:mit\teVde to pursue a,unjuet and injurious course events of but theit should be borne in mind that. the next few months, and . possibly of weeks, will probably define m ore clearly next ext Do few tion of the Garman Power's towards Russia," an d that the question of trade in the p ro d uce of the enemy through German ports will follow the coarse of policy which may prevail iii Germany when the navigation of the Baltic reopens next spring. If any• of the leading German Powers are then at war with Russia, they will have a common interest with ourselves in stopping the trade which they now so materially assist ; and if, on the contrary, they still lend a clandestine support to Russia, under the mask of neutrality, it will become ne cessary to consider on general grounds the effects of that ambiguous attitude on the conduct and duration of the war.—Times.

(Ron the Report of the Registrar-General. ) The deaths registered in London, which in the first two weeks of October were 1532 and 1394, declit.ed in the week that ended last Saturday to 1321. In tho ten weeks of the years 1844-63, corresponding to last week, the average number was 942, which, being raised in pro • portion to the increase of population, becomes 1036. About 300 persons died last week more than could be estimated from the experience of former years at the middle of October. Last week the deaths from cholera were 163. The mortality from the epidemic declines, but not so rapidly as in the same month of 1849. In three weeks of Octo ber in that year the deaths were 283, 110, and 41 ; in the last three wee k s o f t h e ex i st i ng ep id em i c they have been 411, 249, and 163. Fatal eases of diarrhoea and dysentery were 102 and 106 in the first two weeks of the present month ; last week they declined to 83.

Yesterday the crews of the Investigator, Resolute, Assistance, Intrepid, and Pioneer were paid off at Wool wich. The men were upwards of 200 i■ number. Their appearance did not give the slightest indication of the hardships and privations which many of them are known to have endured for several months in the Arctic Re- gions. Oa the contrary, they seemed much, more like men fitted to take part in a new enterprise than persons who had just returned from one of the most perilous and vexatious expeditions that man could be exposed to. The amount. of money distributed amongst the crews was between 20,0001. and 30,0001. The wages of the Investigator's crew, after five years' service, averaged about 150/. per man. The crews of the ether ships of course received less, their period of service averaging only about 2i years. Notwithstanding the temptations which the possession of such a considerable sum of money must have offered, it is highly creditable to the moral discipline of the crews that scarcely a case of drunken- ness occurred during the day. Advantage was taken of the occasion to present Dr. Armstreng, the surgeon of the Investigator, with a gold chronometer and appendages, which the petty officers, seamen, and marines . determined to purchase for him previous to quitting the ship, as a mark of their high estimation for his services as medical officer during the voyage. The gift, which had a representation of the Investigator imbedded ilithe ice chased on one side, and on the other an appropriate inscription acknowledging Dr. Armstrong's professional skill and uniform kindness to the crew. It was accompanied by the following ad dress, which was read by Mr. JA3rze Isisuitox in the Ship Hotel : " We, the undersigned petty officers, seamen, and marines late of her Majesty's ship Investigator, cannot part after so lengthened a service in the Arctic regions, without having the gratification of expressing to you, sir, in a body, and, as publicly as possible, the unqualified respect an d admiration which we all entertain of the manner in which you have always acted towards us, under circumstances of the most trying nature. "There are few, if any of us, who have not at some time experienced your kindness at the sick-bed ; 110E0 who have, under Providence, to thank your skill and attention for their lives ; but above all your constant assiduity and unwearied zeal, to those departed ship mates, whom it has pleased the Almighty to take from us, can never be forgotten. "Those who have never experienced, like ourselves, so lengthened a period of hunger, monotony, and total deprivation of all communication with the world, can forma no idea of the consolation your untiring goodness has afforded ; more than half the horrors of sickness, under such circumstances, have thus been spared us, for which alone you are more than entitled to our affection and esteem, and we do assure yen such feelings will ever remain freshl in our hearts ; but we wish you also, sir, to retain a remembrance of your humble but grateful admirers, and that, when - (as will soon be the case) we are widely separated, you sometimes think of those with where you hare passed se many years, not unprOfitably. We, therefore, in the name of the ship's company (who have affixed their signatures), beg your acceptance of this little testimonial, hoping that you may be spared to retain it many years in your possession, and wear it fur our sakes. " In wishing you good bye, sir, wo all unite in the fervent hope that God may bless you. " James Williams, C.H., Michael Flynn, Gr. Me., Robert Tiffany, C. M. Top, Cornelius Hullott, C. Cox, H.

Dr. ARMSTRONG, in reply, said :—I feel deeply touched by the very flattering address which you have just now read, and the presentation of the valuable gift by which it is accompanied. That during our long and trying service together, you should consider me in any degree worthy of being thus so highly honoured, is to me, I assure you, most truly gratifying. Until a few days ago T was not aware of your intention, nor had I the slightest idea that such an honour awaited me, when an earnest request was made that I would allow this act of yours to become public, to which I have felt bound to accede. (" You deserve it.") I can lay claim to no higher merit than an anxious desire which I ever felt ta be my duty, but that, even under our worst cir cumstances, was !trade to me a comparatively easy task by the bravest and the best ship's company that ever left England. The world knows something of what you have done, but nothing of what you have suffered. (" That's true, sir.") I have witnessed your courage and your daring when destruction so often appeared inevitable. I have seen you in health, and I know you in sickness, and but too truly have I known the hunger which you so long felt, when it lay not in my power to allay it. Then it was that you displayed all the higher qualities of our nature by the heroic patience and fortitude with which you bore your privations and suffering, and manifested in such a remarkable degree that discipline and noble conduct which proved you to be true British sailors. These are deeds worthy to rival any recorded in the brighest page of the history of our navy, and certain do I feel that when they are fully and truthfully kno . wn, you will receive not only the gra-' titude but the admiration of your country, and well may that country be proud of such defenders. The loss of our departed shipmates we must always deplore ; they fell from the effects of what we all more or less suffered from, and that, too, at a , time when the dark and dreary days of trial and adversity had passed, and when relief had so providentially reached us. Your valuable gift is one of which any man may be proud, and believe me I am, hut more par ticularly coming from such a body of men as the petty officers, seamen, and marines of th e I n ve s tigator have proved themselves to be. I shall always wear it, as you wish me, although it is unnecessary to possess aught to remind me that I once served with you, and well may I be justly proud of such a grateful offering from such generous hearts. You will not only now ac cept my sincere thanks for being considered to have in any degree merited this handsome proof of your grati tude, but be assured that I shall ever remain sensible of the respectful. kindness and attention which I have al ways received from you throughout our long and event ful commission. Our voyage, unparalleled as it is, has not, I hope with you, been (at least in one respect) unprofitable, but made us all wiser and better men, and that in our future lives and conduct, we shall remember how often and miraculously Providence protected us, and from that we have not been unworthy of His mercy and guo leers. It only remains for me to say farewell ; we may never meet again, but from my heart believe, me that you carry with you my best and warmest wishes that every comfort and happiness may be yours. (Cheers.) The chronometer and chain having been presentedlo Dr. Armstrong,. • Mr, NELsolt turned round to Lieutenant Bedford Pim, who was present as the friend of Dr. Armstrong, and said, " Were it not for you; sir, many of us now present would never have seen Old England again. All of us look upon you as our deliverer, and none of us will forget the joy we felt when you reached us." (Hear, hear.) Lieutenant Pim', in reply, said—l thank you, my lads. I shall never forget our meeting. I congratu late you most heartily upon your escape from a fate similar to that of poor Sir John Franklin. I hope you will now enjoy yourselves to your hearts' content ; and next sizing I dare say we shall meet again under the walls of Cronetadt, or perhaps in St. Petersburg itself. (Cheers.) The most hearty and warm feeling was reciprocated between Dr. Armstrong and the men on the occasion ; and he and Lieutenant Pim bid them an affectionate farewell on retiring. NAVAL AND MILITARY' INTELLIGENCE. The workmen are on the Wrangler night and day, to get her ready for the Black Sea.

The two hired transports William and Flora arrived at Spithead on Monday evening from Quebec, with the 66th Regiment, in charge of Sir William Gordon, Bart., Lieutenant-Colonel, and Lieutenant-Colonel Grubbs. The ships sailed in company from Quebec on the 30th of September, and on the 11th of October encountered a severe gale. The officers and men are all in robust health, and no accident of any kind has occurred to either during the voyage. The reniainaof the late Admiral Sir B. Martin are to leave Portsmouth to-day, t• be conveyed by railway to Kensal-green Cemetery, where they are to rest. The consmauder-in-chief, Vice Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, went out in the Vivid to-day and inspected the Powerful, 54, Captain Massie. • FALmouTiz, Oct. 24.—The Colossus, 80, screw steamer, anchored three miles off Pendennis on Monday after noon. She commenced setting up rigging, and fixed her funnel. She will sail immediately for the West An official application has been made to the Admi ralty for permission that the Russian and Finnish •ffi cera who left Sheerness on parole for Lewes may be per mitted leave on parole to visit London ; and further, that the younkers (as cadets) may also be permitted to enjoy the same privilege. A satisfactory answer has been receiviid, granting the boon asked for by them. Several of the officers and a great number of the younkers attended Divine service at the dockyard chapel, Sheer n:2,B3, every Sunday while they were there, when the weather permitted them to be sent on shore from the Devonshire and Benbow. MILITARY. DEATH OF GENERAL MIDDLETON.—The death of Major General Middleton took place at his residence, Rocky hill-terrace, Maidstone, on Sunday morning last. Gen. Middleton served in the West Indies with the Royals, in 1805 and 1806 ; on the staff with the army which pro ceedld from Madras to the Northern Mahratta country, beyond the Nurbudda River, is 1809 and 'lO ; with the 22d Light Dragoons, in Java, during 1811, 'l2, and 'l3, and was present at the affairs of the 10th and 21st i and at the cavalry charge which finally settled the conquest of that valuable island, on the 26th August, 1811, after the fortress and lines of Cornelius had been forced. Em ployed also at the taking of Djocjocarta, and all the subsequent operations which took place on that island under the gallant Gillespie. Was in the field with the 22d Liglit Dragoons in 1815 and 1816, and during the whole of the Mahratta war of 1817, 'lB, and 'l9, was present with the division of the late Sir Thomas Munro as the capture of the forts of Daumul, Dorwar, Bedamme, Belgaum, and Shallapore, at which place he was severely wounded. The dates of the deceased general's commissions are a7s follows : —Ensign, Sep tember,l9; 1804 ; lieutenant, 28th April, 1806 ; captain, lgth July, 1815 ; brevet major, Bth February, 1819 ; major, 16th June, 1825 ; lieutenant-colonel, 19th Nov., 1825 ; colonel, 28th June, 1838 ; major-general, 11th November, 1851. He was appointed Assistant- Commandant of the Cavalry Depot, Maidstone, on the 23d September, 1829, and Commandant on the let of January, 1842. On his promotion to the rank of major-general, and consequent retirement from the depot, a reward of 1001. per annum for the distinguished services, in addition to his pay, was conferred by the Government, and he had also for many years received a pension of 100/. a year in consideration of the woun d s he had received in various engagements. WINDSOR, Oet. 24.—The force in garrison here is 600 strong; and is under the command of Major Spitty, ne colonel-commandant having been appointed since the death of Viscount Jocelyn, who formed the corps. The grenadier and light companies of the 18th Royal Irish share the sheet-street barracks with the Essex Rifles, and - take part of the duties. This arrangement will con tinue f•r about a montb,when the Rifles will be relieved by the Royal Books (Kink's Ows) Regiment of Militia, now quartered at Weedon under the command of Col. Lord Carington. The Bucks Militia will not remain in Windsor more than a month, and by that time (the middle of December) the Emperor and Empress of the French are expected on a visit to her Majesty at Wind sor, and it will then become a question whether a batta lion of the Guards should occupy the infantry barracks, or whether the remainder of the 18th Regiment, now lying at Chatham, should not be transferred to Wind sor. This afternoon the Essex Rifles had a grand field day hi the Great Park. The additional medical staff for the army in Turkey has already left the metropolis, to proceed to Constanti nople, via Marseilles, where they embark on board the Vectis to-morrow morning. The total ingp number eotors.G e a : l : r e a d:c o o: men who go out in this ship is 30.

At a general court-martial held at Balaklava on the 30th September, 1854, by order of Generql Lord Rag lan, G.C.B. co mmanding the f orces i n t h e Crimea, and of which Colonel Hon. G. - Upton, Coldstream Guards, was president, Assistant Surgeon Stuart Moore, 6th Dragoon Guards, was tried upon the following CHARGH. "For gross neglect of duty and disobedience of orders in having failed, on or about the evening of the 22d September, 1854, to call at the tent of Dr. Hall, In spector General of Hospitals, his superior officer, for final instructions previous to going on board ship in charge of the wounded to Scu'ari, when ordered by Dr. Hall to do so.' FINDING. " The court, having maturely weighed and considered the evidence before it, together with what the prisoner has urged in his defence, are of opinion that the prisoner is not guilty of the charge preferred against him, and do therefore acquit him of the same. (Signed) "G. UPTON, Coldstream Guards, President. " Confirmed (Signed) " RAGLAZi." REMARKS BY VTR COMMANDER OF THE FORCES. " The Commander of the Forces has confirmed the finding of the general court-martial on Assistant- Surgeon S. Moore, 6th Dragoon Guards, but he has felt himself compelled to withhold his approval of it, the evidence given .in support of the charge having fully established to his satisfaction that the prisoner had received an order from the head of the medical depart ment, which be had failed to obey. Upon an occasion on which many wounded men had been placed on board and required the utmost care and attention, the medical officer selected to accompany them was found to be absent. This arose from Assistant-Surgeon ;More not having reported himself to Dr. Hall on the 22d, as spe cially ordered ; and thus an important service was neglected, and the vessel was prevented sailing at the time appointed. " Obedience to orders is the first duty of an officer under all circumstances ; but it is more particularly that of a medical officer after an action—when the com fort and even the lives of the wounded, in a great degree depend upon his close attendance, his ability, and his humane exertions to assuage their sufferings. " Assistant Surgeon Moore is released from arrest, and will return to his duty." [ AD VERTISEXIENT.]—SuppIement, gratis, with the Weekly Dispatch of Sunday, October 29th.

THE SUBSCRIPTION ROOM AT NIGHT. MONDAY (CONCLUDED). Speculation on the Cambridgeshire fluctuated in so extraordinary a manner that we cannot vouch for the accuracy of the following statement, made up frora our list of quotations at the close. We have, however, no doubt that it will be found sufficiently near the truth. Only the leading favourite, Rattle, held a firm posi tion-7 to 2 offered, and 4to 1 taken. Orinoco oscil lated between 5 and 7, and Hervine, who was third favourite in the afternoon, was driven from 12 to 1 to 50 to 1. Seherz, at one time, receded to 20 to 1, b u t re turned to 100 to 6 ; be had, nevertheless, numerous opponents. Quince and Speed the Plough were alter nately up at 25 to 1 each and down to 33 to 1 each. Offers of 100 to 1 extinguished all hopes of Helena, and Stonehenge was coupled with Hervine in a bet of 50 to 1. Whilst these operations were going on, Little Harry was introduced by a powerful party, who began by taking 20 to 1 to some money, and their example had quickly the effect of advancing'him to 15 to I—the high est offer at the close was only 12 to 1. Prime Minister, Vindex, and Little David were backed for some small sums at 25 to 1 each, and 12 to 1 was taken abort John Osborne's lot.

In pretty nearly the same order they arrived halfway between the Duke's Stand and the chair.

A length and a half between the second and third. Henget ford was fourth. The attendance on the Heath and the interest that was manifested showed that the " Cambridgeshire Day" had lost nothing of its attractive character. The sport was ample and varied, and the weather was all that could have been desired for the gratification of the mere plea sure seeker and for the business operations of the profes sional speculator. The Catnbridgeshire was won cleverly by Scherz—a horse bred in Germany, and, until he ran for the Cesare witch, only known in England by the reports which had occasionally been heard of his continental achievements. He was ridden by Birbeck, a jockey who accompanied him from Germany, and on returning to scale his suc cess was greeted with long and hearty cheers. Spe culation, before its close, was marked by only one new incident, but it was one that was as extraordinary as unexpected. The Nancy fever again broke out, and she was supported with so much spirit and confidence that, from the extreme outside division, she was ad vanced to a prominent position amongst the fa vourites. Rattle kept firm to the last. The result was little favourable to the Ring, Scherz having been heavily backed. After the race, Mr. Deonett, the owner of Rattle, ob jected to the winner on the ground of age. The Messrs. Barrow were therefore called in to examine the horse's mouth, and they certified that he is a three-yr-old, and consequently properly described. VALUE OF LAND IN TUB EASTERN DISTRICTS OF LONDON.—The banks of the Thames above and below the East and West India Docks being nearly exhausted for wharfage purposes, the increase of new wharfs on the River Lee, for some miles up, has been of late years very remarkable ; and land that was only a marsh cannot now be bought . under 1,0001. an acre. New towns are springing 'up in the direction of Stratford and Bow, every available field being eagerly sought for, for building ope rations. The Conservative Land Society has just acquired a valuable estate at. Old Ford, in the parish of St. Maty, Stratford-le:Bow, within the borough of the Tower Uamlets. The land is within 200 yards of Victoria-park and Sir George .Duckett's canal, and about a quarter of a mile from the Bow station of the Eastern Counties THE LONDON GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT.
