From everything we can learn there are many reasons fur believing that the vigorous and deter mined onslaught on the lines at Inkerman was the final and desperate attempt of the' Russians to save the beleaguered town, and that on its complete failure (for failed it has, notwithstanding a tem porary success) there is no longer a hope for Sebastopol. The affair was undoubtedly ably planned, and very gallantly carried into operation ; and had it not been for the unflinching bravery of the Allied Troops the consequences might have been very disastrous, if not absolutely fatal to our anticipations. The Russians set their very lives upon the cast, and as " the hazard of the die" has proved against them they must be contented to submit to the almost certain consequences. However confident we may feel, we must still carefully abstain from under -valuing an enemy who, by their recent activity and resolution, have g one far to regain the prestige which had been greatly i mpa i red b y th e i r previous conduct on the Danube, in the Dobrudscha, and more recently on the heights of the Alma, where they were dis lodged in three h ours from a position which they fondly imagii.ed they could have held for as many weeks, against a force twice as nume rous as the victors. At Sebastopol, however, they displayed great en ergy and fortitude, us i n g their vast resources in the most effi cieut manner , and repairing to a great ex t en t, w ithin a few hours , the enormous damage inflicted by the Allied Forces, naval and military. The late attack at the Inkerman displayed their efficiency in a still stronger light ; and, had they been opposed to men of an inferior class m i g h t probably have brought the autumn campaign in the Crimea to a very different conclusion from that which has been calculated on by those "who live at home at ease." The panic caused by the defeat on the Alma has been recovered. We had no .longer to deal with disheartened and demoralised sopprnentv ready to seek safety in disgraceful **iltht.il24 t sound of the British trumpet.

';,' ~~~ • Arai ridS j • , P 44 - maintain it with fierce and unbending determina- ! tion. Although doubtless they calculated much on the effects of the "surprise," they did not abandon the effort when it was found that they had to encounter the Allied Forces on more equal terms than they had previously anticipated. They fought a pitched battle with desperate courage, and held two of the captured redoubts at the close of the first day. It would be alike unfair to the adversary and to our own gallant troops to depre• ciate such efforts, or to slight the pretensions of men capable of such daring acts. But though thus rendering a just tribute to a valiant foe, our confidence as to the final result is not in any degree abated or shaken. We know that the state of affairs within the beleaguered town was almost desperate at the period when the diversion was attempted. We have learned that on the morning of the 25th the besiegers had established their third parallel at 200 metres (or yards) from the ramparts, and that their fire was as lively as on the first day. It would neces sarily be much more effective at the reduced dis tance against the forts and bastions greatly shaken by the incessant cannonade of eight days. The assailants were manifestly preparing for the rapidly approaching time when breaches would be declared practicable, and a ge neral storm would be attempted. Such was the state of affairs outside the town. Within there was still greater cause for despon dency. The accounts communicated by deserters ' were truly terrific, and although such statements must necessarily be received with great reserve and caution, there were corroborating circum stances which justified a certain degree of cre dence. These men declared that " the loss in killed amounted to fully six thousand persons, while more than double that number were wounded "—that almost all the town was on fire, and that the garrison and inhabitants had desisted from their efforts to extinguish the conflagration. Unburied corpses, net merely of fighting men and non-combatants, but even of women and children; were strewed through the different streets and thoroughfares, polluting the air, and render ing the atmosphere pestilential. Pure water was almost unattainable, for the Allies had, long before opening their fire, cut off the supplies, and the cisterns were exhausted. This was a sufficiently gloomy state of affairs ; but it was not all, nor even the worst of what the defenders lied to bear. It was known that discontent and dis affection were rife in the garrison. It must be borne in mind that there were in it many Poles who had been forced to take up arms by their un scrupulous oppressor, who had no sympathy for the tyrant, but who would hail as the greatest blessing every discomfiture that might afford a prospect of the restoration of their outraged nationality ; and len , - lost freedom. MENSCHIKOFF had to dread many of his own men, who were little less for midable than the invincible adversary. A deci sive blow was necessary to reanimate the waver ing hope of the Russians, and this, as we have stated, was very skilfully planned and resolutely attempted. In our impression of yesterday we inserted a very admirable article from the Constitutionnel, which places the whole matter in a very striking point of view, and saves us from the necessity of any lengthened explanations. Our contemporary gave a very graphic description of the Allied Forces lying in a species of semi-circle round Sebastopol, the extremity of one diameter resting on the Tchernaya, which was occu pied. ty the English, and the other by the French division on the sea and Cape Cher sonesus—the armies being divided by a little rivulet which flowed into the port of Sebastopol. The base of operations was the port of Balaklava, from which all the supplies were drawn, and with which it was indispensable to maintain unre stricted communication. Could this communica tion be out off, the results would have been very injurious, and might have placed our troops in au exceedingly awkward ditamma, casting them be tween two fires, and depriving them both of food and ammunition, and practically rendering them " the besieged" in place of besiegers. One army was in shefield, and tothis everyman that could be spared was sent from the town, with which commu nications were open on the northern side. We have seen how the march was concealed, and how corn plete was the surprise in the first instance. The first loss was, however, retrieved by the valour of our troops. General LIPRANDI has been completely repulsed, or, as the Russians term it, " has retired to head-quarters, at Bakshi-Serai ;" and thus, as the Constitutionnel truly declares, " the Russians, after a trifling success, have lost/the last chance of delivering Sebastopol," of the capture whereof we shall, doubtless, speedily receive a decisive and satisfactory account. With heartfelt gratification we are enabled to announce the safety of Captain CoLuxsoiN and his gallant crew. The distinguished navigator has brought his vessel into a safe harbour ; his men, notwithstanding their arduous labours, being in good health and good condition, throe of the number only having died during their three years of exposure and trial to all the inclemency of the weather in the dreary regions which they had traversed. The Rattlesnake, Commander HENRY TROLLOP; which arrived at San Fran cisco on the 25th September, was the bearer of the glad tidings. She had wintered at Fort Clarence, in the Arctic Ocean, at the entrance to Behring Strait. From this she sailed on the 23d of August. Two days previously the Enterprise had arrived with the adventurous COLLINSON and his brave crew, in wonderfully good health and condition, consider ing the protracted hardships .they had endured. We have thus received unexceptionable evidence of the safety of the 59 officers and men respect ing whose fate a degree of anxiety was entertained only inferior to that felt for Sir JOHN FRANBLIN and his daring and unfortunate followers. We give the names of the men who died in order to allay the apprehensions of those who had friends or relations on board. They were, WILLIAM DRIVER, the ship's cook, who died on the 15th May, 1853, WILLIAM GREENAWAY, able-seaman, who died 24th Nov., 1853, and WILLIAM CHEESEMAN, private of Marines, who died June 29th, 1854. All the others were safe and well. It will thus be seen that the mortality, and even the sickness, was not greater than would have ss bdenerninegxpseorienced protracted b y a n equal number of per sons it m i o s st th t a em t j p n e d r i a o t i e on an s d pr sal so u su br ti i o ou n s s v cl o i ymaagtees. in even n t r t u h e e may avert the consequences of even the most , formidable and perilous adventures. It appears that Captain COLLINSON obtained no information respecting intens e the fate of poor FRANKLIN - . This would have created a feeling of disappointment at any other time. Un fortunately, however, our doubts and fears on that subject have been fatally verified. Hope of rescuing the devoted, aye the "sacrificed," had previously vanished ; and we have only to dis charge the last melancholy duty of ascertaining all the particulars of their energetic struggles, Isucceeded by their awful and heart-rending suffer ings. The safety of COLLINSON and his men exo nerates us from the imperative duty of sending assistance to tho living, but that to " the de parted" is a sacred task which cannot be avoided or postponed. _ _ . It will be in the recollection of our readers that the Enterprise left England in the spring of 1851, more than three years and a half since. Some few weeks since we obtained intelligence of her progress up to the 22d August, 1852. From this it appeared that she had spent the winter of 1851-2 in lat. 71 deg. 35 min. north, and long. 135 deg. 17 min. west, having previously passed through the Prince of Wales Straits. It also appeared that she was almost on the track of the Investigator, Captain MTLITRE, by whom the great problem of the North-West Passage was ultimately solved. She even proceeded within 90 miles of Winter Harbour, but being prevented from proceeding, on account of the accumulated ice, turned into Wollaston Sound, where she came on traces of Doctor RAE'S Expedition. The winter of '52-3 was passed in Cambridge Bay, Wollaston Land, 69 dog. N. lat., 117 deg. 35 min. W. long. ; the following and last winter sine spent in Camden Bay, 70 deg. 8 min. N. lat., 145 deg. 30 min. W. long. From this she was enabled to extricate herself on the 15th of July last, but only arrived at Point Barrow on the 9th, and Port Clarence on the 21st August. It was intended that after refitting she should pro ceed to Hong Kong, whence the next tidings of the gallant crew will probably be obtained. These glad tidings, which will be received with unalloyed satisfaction by the entire communica tion, will obviate the necessity of ono portion of the expedition—the last wo hope to the frozen regions. - The other branch of it is even more urgent than heretofore, in consequence of Captain COLLINSON not having obtained any information of FIIANKLIN. We trust that the Lords of the Admiralty will call D. KING into their councils, and thus avoid the mistakes hitherto fallen into, and to which the deplorable fate of Sir Jonßr FRANKLIN and many of his followers may pos sibly be attributed. .'~' LOST, between the hours of 10 and 12 this day, at Cox's Hotel, Jermymstreet, a GOLD WATCH, maker's name Dent.

The last "Effort" in search of the FRANKLIN Expedition has failed. The gallant Captain COLLINSON has reached the " Pacific" on his homeward route, bringing the sad tidings that " lie had met with no tracings of Sir JOLIN FRANKLIN." Every human being has now withdrawn from these Arctic solitudes. The Polar Set is closed to us, let us hope, for ever—at least to our ships. If the loss of the five ships left in this sea of ice by Sir E. B2LCHER will only save us from further expense and further tragedy, we shall hail the loss as a gain. From the despatches of Lieut. MEECHAM of Sir E. BELCHER'S Expedition, published by the Ad miralty, we learn that traces of Captain COLLIN SON were found in three different directions iu the neighbourhood of Baring Island. The first, dated 30th August, 1851, at Princess-Roya- Island ; the second, 15th April, 1852, in lat. 70 and long. 173 ; and thu third, 27th August, 1852, at Ramsay Island. Captain COLLINSON writes from this spot—" It is my intention to pursue the channel separating Wollaston from Prince Albert Land ; hitherto the ice has been close in with the shore, nor have we been able to turn its western edge by pur suing a westerly route along the south face of Baring Island." Here, then, Was his arrest ; and feeling con vinced he could no longer with safety push on to the Atlantic, here he commenced to retrace his steps to the Pacific ; and by so doing be has not only done as much, but something more than his predecessors—be has saved his ship. The overland route to the Polar Sea by the Mackenzie River in search of the gallant officer very recently arranged by the Admiralty is thus happily rendered unnecessary, and all that has now to be done is to despatch a party down the Great Fish River to its confluence with the Polar Sea, to bury the honoured remains of the rem nant of the " FRANKLIN" Expedition, lying, we are told, some on Montreal Island and some on Point Sir Charles Ogle—on the very spot we have all along felt, with Dr. KING, they would be looking for that help which was never to be vouch safed to them ! VISIT OF LORD PALMERSTON TO THE .11SIPB.ROR NAPOLEON. Last year there was a talk of Lord Palmerston visit ing France. The journey could not then take place, but this year it appears that it will. Lord Palmerston is expected in Paris on Thursday or Friday on a visit to the Emperor. He will reside at Compiegne or at Fon tainebleau, nothing having as yet been decided as to whic o. h of the two places the Emperor and Empress will go t COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, Nov. 7. The following had the honour of dining with her Ma jesty yesterday :—The Swedish Minister (Baron de Hochschild), the Earl of Aberdeen, the Earl of Claren don, Lady Caroline Barrington, the Hon. Mrs. Gordon, and the Hon. Arthur Gordon. The band of the Royal Horse Guards was in attend ance during dinner, and played the following pieces : larch—" Allied Airrky", Overture— Marco SPada", Selection— "Don Giovanni" Scidosser. .

The Queen's private band afterwards attended in the Castle, and performed the following selection : Overture—" Egmont" Selection—" Lo Prophete" The Queen and Prince walked in the Home Park this morning. The ristening of the infant daughter of Lieutenant Colonel the Hon. Alexander and Mrs. Gordon took place in the private chapel of the Castle to-day, her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert attending as sponsors. The Dean of Windsor performed the ceremony. The Earl of Clarendon introduced Baron de Hochs child to an audience of her Majesty last evening, to de liver his credentials as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the Court of Sweden.. The Swedish Minister and the Earl of Clarcndon left "Windsor by an early train this morning, for London. Lord Byron and Mr. F. Cavendish have succeeded Lord de Tabley and Makr General B. Drummond as the Lord and Groom in Vi aiting. The French Ambassador had an interview with the Earl of Clarendon yesterday, at the Foreign Office. A deputation from Merthyr Tydvil bad an interview on Monday with the President of the General Board of Health, at his office, Whitehall, on the subject of the supply of water to that town. Tho deputation con sisted of Messrs. George Overton and Charles H. James, of Merthyr ; and. Mr. J. G. Lynde, C.E., of Great George-street, Westminster. A deputation from Romford had an interview on Mon day with the President of the General Board of Health, at his office, Whitehall, on the sanitary condition of their town under the present local board. The depu tation consisted of the Venerable Archdeacon Grant, Mr. C. P. Matthews, churchwarden, and Mr. N. Sur ridge, solicitor. A deputation from the parish of Hackney had an in terview yesterday with the President of the General Board of Health at his office, Whitehall, on the subject of the sanitary condition of their parish, and of a pure supply of water thereto. The deputation consisted of the Rev. J. Davis Lamb, Rector of West Hackney, Messrs. J. R. D. Tyssen, G. Offer, W. Holloway, J. Matson, T. Frankland, and W. Harris, accompanied by Mr. C. T. Pulley, vestry clerk of Hackney. The deputation were introduced by Mr. C. Salisbury Butler, M.P. A Cabinet Council will be held on Friday, at the Foreign-office, at three o'clock. The Duke and Duchess of Richmond, who are still staying at Gordon Castle, Banffshire, had intelligence forwarded yesterday to them, and to the Princess Ed ward of Saxe Weimar, who is staying with their graces, that the noble duke's son-in-law, Prince Edward, who now holds the rank of brevet major in the 3d Battalion of Grenadier Guards, was wounded at the siege of the Russian fortress, but not severely. The Duke of Devonshire, who arrived at Devonshire House, on Saturday, from Chatsworth, left town yes terday for his grace's marine villa at Kemp Town, Brighton, where we believe the noble duke, who con tinues to improve in health, intends to winter. The Admiralty have given notice that the exemption from stamp duty hitherto enjoyed by all bills drawn either abroad or at home on account of the naval service, will, according to the decision of the Treasury, still exist under the news tame Act. LATEST NEWS. -- ''■ l 9 1.4 .....-, THE SIEGE OF SEBAST' OPOL. PARIS 1., Nov. 7, 6.32 P.M. The Moniteur publish( e; letters from Constan tinople, with accounts fro m the Bay of Kamshli up to the 26th. The enemy's fire had much slackened, and became ID are and more unsteady. Artillerymen were scarce, a;nd the infantry worked the guns. In the attack by the Ithssians, 20,000 strong, on the 25th, the French a..nd English cavalry re pulsed the enemy and reco'rered the positions by a most brilliant charge, in, which the combatants fought hand to hand will cold steel for several minutes. The English lost in all. 400 men ; the loss of the French was trifling. The assault was expected to take place on the 2d of November. A despatch of Gener: e 1 Canrobert, dated the 22d, states that on,the night of the 20th and 21st the enemy made an attempt to spike some French guns, but failed. The loss from the cum/ ty's fire was less than might have been expected., and the sanitary con dition of the French army was satisfactory, most of the diseases beinlc those 3 produced by excessive fatigue. We have received the following from our cor respondent at Constantinople, dated October 28, 3 p.m.:— A French steamer has just arrived, with news up to the 26th from Seba stopol. The French had advan.:ed within 300 yards. Menschikoff had asked for three hours to bury his dead, but it was refused on the ground that the Allies had no dead t o bury themselves, and thought there would be n o reciurocity. There had been two skf near Balaklava ; there are supposed to have been seven or eight battalions of Russians engaged on the first day ; they were repulsed with great loss. On the se cond day our cavalry advanced too far, got near a masked battery, and were somewhat cut up. It is said that there is a great deal of sand in the Russian gunpowder through the swindling of the contractors, and the deserters declare that much of it is found useless. All is going on slowly but well. We have received news from the Crimea, under date of the morning of the 25th, to the effect that the besiegers had established their third parallel at 200 metres from the ramparts. Their fire was more lively than on the first day. Almost all the town was on fire, and the be sieged had desisted from their efforts to extin guish the flames. Deserters had announced that there were in the town 6,000 dead and double that number of wounded. From accounts received in Paris it appears that the loss sustained in the cavalry action before Balalrlava was less severe than was at first re ported. Instead of 500 men, it is said that only 124 were killed and wounded, and the names of no officers are mentioned. A Vienna correspondent states that, accord ing to information which reaohed that capital yesterday morning, nothing important, up to the Ist of November, had happened before Sebas- topol. The Turkish troops are leaving Varna for the Crimea. Mr. Seymour Tremenheere, who left Constan tinople by the additional mail steamer Gauge on the 28th ult., reached London by special train last evening with despatches from Lord Stratford de Redcliffe for Lord Clarendon, but brought no the Ad m i ra lty. despatch es f or . intelligence from the Crimea of a later dat e th an eitherthat altrheaedymirneitcseievred, and no of War or Mr. Tremenheere left Balaklava on the 23d ultimo. THE CRIMEA. The Lloyd of Vienna of the 3d says :—" Ac counts from Varna, 2Gth, state that, a ccor di ng t o leters from the Crimea, fire had b ro k en out four different times at Sebastopol i . n consequence of the bombardment, and that it was not extinguished without great difficulty. Nearly 60 houses had been buret, and a large storehouse full of pro visions had also taken fire. Persons w h o h ave left the place state that the inhabitant s are in the greatest consternation; shells and rockets having fallen on the houses nearest the walls, they were obliged to be evacuated. Water was very dear, but there was no want of provisions. The Journal de Constan tino pl e, of the 24th ult:, in giving an account of the p ro gr e ss of the siege of red-hot shot ; the town E S e n b g a l s t h o p fi o re e is on fire so th a t , says :—" The siege goes on surely; the the Russians are obliged to push their works for ward where they are constantly erecting batteries. Much mistake has been made in the estimat e o f th e value of fort Constantine which is really of little importance, but a large fort or tower which com mands the town must be taken before the latter, and it will soon be so." The impartial of Smyrna states that Lord Rag lan is said to have intercepted a letter from the Emperor Nicholas to the Archbishop of Balaklava, who has taken refuge at Sebastopol. TURKEY. , We learn from Mostar that the pacha of that place is enlisting all, without distinction, capable of bearing arms. The Porte has, demanded a contri bution of 5,000 purses from the pacha of Mostar, and likewise, it is said, from the pachas of Mace donia, Arnaut, and Bosnia, but there is very little probability that the " purses" will be forthcoming. THE WAR ON THE DANUBE. A letter from Galatz, under date of the 25th (Lloyd), informs us that the Russians in Bessarabia are not in a position to assume the offensive, but are compelled by the comparative smallness of their numbers to remain strictly on the defensive. All the marches and countermarches, on both sides of the Danube, are merely for the purpose of deceiving the Turks, of whom there are about 30,000 at Ibraila; and the Turkish troops continue to concen trate there. Omer Pacha was expected at Ibraila. (We hear from another quarter that he is at present at Rustchuk.) The squadrons of Skender Bey and Zadik Pacha are already at Ibraila. The belli gerents are nearly face to face at Ibraila, only the river dividing them. Preparations were being made for the reception of Prince Ghika. The Secretary of State, atourdza, and the Minister of Public Instruction, Mauro janni, were expected at Galatz from Jassy on the 28th inst., to receive the hospodar on his arrival from Vienna. In a communicati on f rom He r manstadt, to one of thejournals in Vienna, it was announced that Ge neral Dannenberg, with 20,000 men, was at Ismail. The Kalisch correspondent of the Lloyd corrects this statement, and informs us that General Dan nenberg, with the,infantry and artillery of the 4th infanter corps, is at Odessa, and the remainder of the corps, i. e., the Liprandi division, is at Se bastopol. This division was not long since engaged in the Caucasus, and there suffered terribly. It took part in the Hungarian war in 1849, and two years after was paraded before the Czar in Volhynia. It was also engaged in Lesser Wallachia. The affair with the English happened immediately upon the arrival of the division at Sebastopol, and the Kalisch writer appears to entertain no doubt that the Russians were completely victorious. RUSSIA. The Fremden-Blatt of Vienna publishes a letter from St. Petersburg, in which it is stated that on the 27th October the Czar refused an audience to the Prussian Ambassador. A letter from Odessa of October 25, in the Lloyd of Vienna, says Since the residence of the Grand Dukes at Kicheneff, a daily comnu nication is established between that town and Se bastopol by way of Odessa. The departure of Russian reinforcements for the Crimea is continued without interruption. This day a convoy of 2,000 carts has left with a brigade of infantry. The Cologne Gazette, publishes the following despatch from Warsaw, of the 3d :—" The Russian troops on the Austrian frontier are to be with drawn behind the river Pilica. The advance guard of the army will remain on the left bank of the Vistula. Gen. Scheodajew has received orders to form two armies of reserve for next spring. The Pilica, which rises near Tarnowiez (Poland) forms, along its whole course, the boundary between the Governments of Masodia and Radom, and falls into the Vistula to the south of Czerski." RUSSIAN NEWS FROM THE CRIMEA. (Prom an Bxtraordinary Supplement of the Invalide Busse.) A report received from Prince Menschikoff, dated October 23 (N.s.) gives the following further details in continuation of his former report on the operations before Sebastopol On the 20th of October. General Semiakine re newed his offensive movement from the village of Tchorgoun on the right bank of the river Tchernaya, advancing for that purpose two columns on Komarz and on a small fortification which the enemy had constructed a little behind that village. Our detachment having found that these two points had been abandoned returned to its former position, which it regained at nightfall. In conse quence of this movement the English troops ad vanced anew upon Komarz, and opened a fire of musketry and artillery against the heights which we had quitted, but beyond this attempted nothing. In the night of October 20, several detachments of volunteers were sent against the enemy's !bat teries. One of these detachments, composed of 5 officers and 27 men, suddenly entered the French trenches, spiked eight mortars and eleven guns, and as speedily returned to the place, after having thus made the enemy's battery useless for the work of the morrow. This fortunate sortie, 'which spread alarm in the enemy's camp, cost us two officers killed—Lieu tenant Troitsky and Prince Pontiatine of the marine guard—and a sailor. The other detachments found the enemy everywhere vigilant and active, and re turned to the place with a loss of twelve mew wounded. During the bombardment of the 20th we lost in all 50 killed, including three officers, and 197 wounded, of whom five were officers. On the 21st and 22d of October the siege batteries of the enemy continued to bombard Sebastopol, but the damage caused to our fortifications was as on preceding days of small extent and easily repaired, so that in none of our bastions has the firing been interrupted. Our loss on the 21st was 30 killed, including one officer, and 160 wounded, of whom three were officers. Our loss on the 22d is not exactly known. On the night of Oct. 21 and 22 aoe of our picquets, composed of 8 men, seeinc , an English patrol of 40 men approaching, boldly threw itself on the enemy and dispersed the patrol, and made its commanding officer, Lord Dunkellin, a captain of the Guards, and son of Lord Clanricarde, pri soner. From the seaward the enemy has attempted no thing. At Eupatoria the operations have been limited to skirmishes between our outposts of Lancers and Cossacks with parties of the enemy who attempted to leave the town. Ou the 20th a detachment of volunteers, composed of Lieut. Goriatchoff, Cornet Bogomalets, and 20 Lancers of the Regiment H.I.H. Mad. the Grand Duchess Catherine Mik hailowna, and some Cossacks, taking advantage of the thick fog, galloped up to the toWn itself, plunged into a crowd of Tartars who were outside the wall, killed 12 on the spot, took two prisoners, wounded a great number, pushed into the town on the heels of the fugitives, killed the three French sentinels at the barrier, and; while the town was in complete confusion, withdrew, driving before them cattle, sheep, and horses to the number of 1,000. In this skirmish Cornet Bogomalets was slightly wounded with a lance. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Nov. s.—We read in a letter from Berlin of the 4th :—" There is a rumour here in the diplomatic circles that, in a conference which took place three days ago between the French ambassador and M. do Manteuffel, the former remarked strongly on the sad results to life and property caused by the almost direct support given by the Prussian cabinet to the policy of Russia, whereas if Prussia had at the first associated herself with the Western Powers in favour of a righteous cause, the Emperor of Russia would, in all probability, have seen the hopelessness of a war, and by reasonable concessions would have prevented the great sacrifice of human life which has already taken place, and the injury that has been inflicted on commerce and manufac tures. It is added that some doubts having been expressed by M. de Manteuffel as to the success of the Allied army before Sebastopol, in con— sequence of the late period of the year at which the expedition was undertaken, and havin g made this doubt a sort of ground for the continued neutrality. of Prussia, the representative of France replied that the failure of the expedition was next to impossible ; but that supposing it should fail, that would be no reason for the German Powers not to unite with France and England, for any advan tage to Russia could only be temporary, and there fore the apprehension of danger from that sidewould be unfounded. Two such powers as France and England, jealous of their honour, and possessing inexhaustible resources, would not allow a few checks in a first campaign to induce them to make concessions. They would, ou the con trary, be, a motive for preparations on a great and overwhelming scale, and would perhaps com pel them to be more pressing than they have hitherto been as to the attitude of the German powers, and the time might not be distant when German neutrality might find less favour from the Allies than it had experienced when it was hoped that the war would be of short duration. Such was the conversation of these diplomatists, according to the report in circulation. , How far the report is well founded, I know not ; but it has gained great credit." AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Nov. 4.—The deliberations with M. von der Pfordten here are not yet brought to a close. His excellency had an audience of his Ma jesty the Emperor Francis Joseph this afternoon at three o'clock, and we are informed that his de parture hence for Munich is already fixed for Mon day, the 6th inst. Nothing—absolutely nothing —of a reliable nature has transpired with respect to the results likely to accrue from this mission to the Courts of Berlin and Vieipa. There is a mystery hanging over the present progress o f mat ters. An old adage says, "No news, good news." Perhaps it is applicable here. Nous verrons. - The Austrian Correspondence has the following telegraphic despatches : " SMYRNA, Oct. 25.—The cholera has completely dis appeared. Pirates have shown themselves at Samos." " MAILAND, Nov. 2.—The operations have begun for carrying the telegraphic wire under the Po, on the Mailand and Piacenza line." " TRIESTE, Nov. 4.--The imperial frigate Schwartzen burg, with 350 men and 60 cannon, has arr ived from Polo. The Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian has re turned in this vessel from Polo." FRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING. The official accounts from the Crimea, brought to us this morning by the London papers, have been read with great interest, and they are in general considered satisfactory, so far at least as the English besieging forces are concerned. The Minister of Foreign Affairs has received the following despatch from Count Walewski, the French Ambassador in :r.iondon, dated the 27th ult..— "Monsieur le Ministre—Her Majesty Queen Vic toria, to whom I have just had the honour of paying a visit at Windsor, expressed to me the deep regret she felt at hearing of the death of Marshal de St. Arnaud. Her Majesty requested me to make known to Mme. de St. Arnaudiall the interest she takes in her grief. I beg to request you, Monsieur le Ministre, to cause to be de livered to Mme. de St. Arnaud the message with which I have been charged for her by her Majesty the Queen of England. WALENVSKI." We do not find in the Paris journals even one original article possessing sufficient interest for ex tract on the affairs of the East. It was stated some time ago that orders had been given for the building at Toulon of several gun-boats on an entirely new plan for the Baltic. The report was premature, for the order was given only a few days since. The plan of a new descrip tion of gun-boat was sent to the chief engineer of Toulon by the Minister of Marine for his report. It was considered good by that functionary, but he sumitted it to his assistants, and one of them pro posed some important modifications, by which the new boat would become a formidable floating bat tery. These modifications were laid before the Minister, and approved of after examination by the council of the Admiralty. The modified plan has been sent to Toulon, with instructions to build four boats with all possible expedition ; and copies of it have been forwarded to three other Govern ment dockyards, with orders for each to build four boats on the same principle. Accounts have been received here to-day of the sudden death of the young and beautiful Countess of Strathmore. She died at Florence on Friday last of inflammation, after a short illness. Lady Strathmore was a daughter of Lord Barrington. The Austerlitz has just arrived at Cherbourg. All the French ships of the line which were in the Baltic have now returned to France. A review of the second division of the army of Paris took place to-day in the Champ de Mars. The French Government continues to send large reinforcements to the East. Tho Three per Cents. closed to-day at 74f. 65c. for the end of the month ; the Four-and-a- Half per Cents. at 97f. 70c. ; and the New Loan at 74f. 80c. ; Orleans Railway Shares,_ 1,200 f. ; Rouen, 980 f.

SPAIN. The Madrid journals of tho 3dl have arrived. Several of them announce that the Spanish Go vernment intends making its Ambassadors at Lon don and Paris return, and be present at the Cortes as deputies. M. Lignes, belonging to the department of Foreign 'Affairs, carries, it is said, despatches to that effect to the two diplomatists. During the absence of M. Gonzales from London, M. Quinoras will, it is said, replace him. as Charge d'Affaires, and M. Lignes will remain at Paris during the absence of M. Olozaga. GREECE. A letter from Athens, of the 27th ult., says : " The Governor of Arta has resigned. Prevessa is only now occupied by invalids and irregular troops." BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, Nov. 7.—The King of the Belgians opened the session of the Legislature to-day. In his speech he declared that Belgium sets more value than ever on its neutrality, confirmed by the sym pathy and confidence of all Powers. ITALY. Letters from Naples mention the dangerous ill ness of General Filangeri, Viceroy of Sicily. His administration has been just and fair rather than the reverse, especially if contrasted with that of the kingdom on the other side of the Faro di Messina, and the Sicilians will have much cause to lament his departure. The King of Naples looks on General Filangeri as an unavoidable and un pleasant necessity. Lately, the general has been suspected of entertaining Muratist opinions, be cause the Emperor of the French sent him the grand cross of the Legion d'Honneur, remembering the brilliant part the general took in the wars of the first Empire, and at the head of Murat's army. MISCELLANEOUS. According to a Berlin letter of the 3d in the Boersenhalle of Hamburg, the Anglo-French despatches are 'now sent by the line organised by Mr. Colquhoun, the British Consul at Bu charest. By his plan, despatches from Bala klava may be sent to London in 90 hours, 80 of which are taken up by the passage from Ba laklava to Varna and from Varna to Kronstadt (Transilvania) via Bucharest, the latter - being per formed by tatars. Count Henckel von Donnersmark, Secretary to the Prussian Legation at London, arrived at Ber in yesterday. There has lately been very little change in the cholera in Vienna. The deaths still average about 30 per diem. ' There are at present upwards of 900 persons under treatment. Since the breaking out 1 of the epidemic, 1,204 persons have died of it. LONDON NECROPOLIS AND NATIONAL MAUSOLBUM COMPANY. ' Yesterday the ceremony of consecrating that part of the new cemetery at Woking which is destined to afford a resting place to members of the Church of England having been appointed to take place, a large number of the direc tors and their friends proceeded from the South-Western , station at hall-past 12 o'clock, to be present on that occa 'tion. The office of consecration was performed by the Bishop of Winchester, assisted by his commissary, the clergy of the diocese and of the metropolitan districts. There was a large number of peasantry from the surrounding country, to whom the arrival of a railway train in the middle of Woking-common was no doubt a novelty never to be forgotten: The chapels for the reception of the deceased members of the Established Church and of the dissenters are precisely similar in structure, extremely plain in character, but well adapted for the purposes for which they are intended. The land is at present almost in a state of nature ; but when the grounds are properly laid out, and the plantations sufficiently grown, no doubt they will offer a desirable resting place for the inhabitants of this metropolis. The directors and visitors on their return to town pro ceeded to the Albion Tavern, where an excellent enter tainment was provided; Mr. Thomas Dakin, chairman of the committee, presiding. After the usual loyal toasts, The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of " the Army and Navy." General CHATTERTON, one of the directors, returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN next proposed the health of the Bishop of Winchester and the clergy, to which the Rev. Mr. HUBBARD, rector of St. Olave's, replied. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the prosperity of th e company, and, in doing so, referred to the evils of intra mural interments, as acknowledged by the reports of the Board of Health. Englishmen were slow to believe that the Government could do for them that which they could do for themselves, and therefore they resolved to set about the matter themselves. It was at first considered that this was not a proper matter for a trading company, and that the Government would be best fitted to carry out such an undertaking. They accordingly proposed to carry it out with a capital of 700,000/. and a revenue of 112,000/. Now, the present company proposed to accomplish the same object with a capital of only 250,0001., of which, at the present moment, they contemplated but the expendi ture of 125,0001. ; and of the efficiency of that expen diture they could form some judgment by what they had witnessed in the early part of the day. The mortality of the metropolis was Calculated at 60,000 a year, so that a means of transport for 150 lA, diem would be ample to meet the requirements of the whole metro polis, and, through the kind co-operation of the South- Western Company, this could be effected without at all interfering with the ordinary traffic of the line. (Hear, hear.) If the company could effect this, and effect it at one-third less than was contemplated in the report of the Board of Health, they were surely meeting the necessities of the case, and at the same time solving a difficulty of no small social importance. (Cheers.) The toast having been drunk with enthusiasm, The CHAIRMAN proposed in succession " The Healths of Mr. Lacy, M.P. ;" " Mr. Harvey, rector of Hornsey ;" " The South-Western Company and the Hon. Mr. Dun combe ;" "Mr. Sydney Smirk and Mr. Tite, the archi tects," which were severally responded to. The compainy remained to a late hour. The Kreutz Zeitung announces the arrival of the Aus terlitz at Sheerness in these words :—" The French liner ran into Sheerness yesterday from the Baltic. She is 45 guns less of the number she had on board when she sailed with her Bretons and Gaseous to the Baltic, into which their forefathers would have as soon ventured as into a lion's den. She was obliged to throw her can awn overboard to save herself from the Finland rocks, which also compelled English ships to adopt the same plan." THE ALAND IBLES.—The Aland Isles are now quite evacuated by the Allie. The frigate Penelope, that has been hitherto stationed at Ledsund, left there on the 28th ult. for Eregrund, where, in connection with th e steam-frigate Odin, she will watch over the blockade of the Gulf of Bothnia. For the last 6 weeks there has been hardly one day of fine weather at Ledsund ; it blew and rained from morning till night, and a 'lumber of vessels have been lost lately in those waters. All the small steamers had already left. The Alanders were particularly dejected, knowing that thea:guesd sians would return in for ce immediately the last English ship left. T he Russ ians have managed to keep up their communications between the Island and Finland even while our ships were there. Some time back a steamer used to come every week from Abo on one excuse or the other, but this has since been put a has, A however, ys been an d s kept ea u s stop psurreptitiouslycommunication since the n . marks have now been taken up, which leads to the con clusion that the Aland Isles are not to be taken posses. sion of again next spring ; the station at Eregrund is, o li f ow it e ; ve i r, l t e o re be isa maintaineddetachm detachment of theasloxigfleet the ice also icew in I+'aro sund. °:0 11,Ei)tt SUN OFFICE, Six o'C:ock.

Y SWITZERLAND. 2 Letters from Berne, of the 4th inst.,, state that, in consequence of the triumph obtained by the com bination of the ultra-Radical and ultra-Montane oppositions in all the elections of Ticino for the National Helvetic Council, the members of the executive power in that canton had all resigned their functions. The Grand Council was accordingly convoked for-the 15th inst., to appoint a new ex ecutive. The defeat of the two Government can didates, Messrs. Franscini and Pioda, both mem bers of the Federal Council, had induced the Can tonal authorities to resign. Owing to the gravity of circumstances, Colonel Bourgeois, the Federal. Commissioner in Ticino, had been ordered to re turn immediately to his post. LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS .DAY.) COURT OF EXCHEQUER. BRRNARDY V. HARDING. Mr. Hoggins applied to the court for a rule to show cause why the verdict in this case should not be en tered for the plaintiff. On the occasion of the Duke of Wellington's funeral, the defendant hired the colonnade of the Opera to let out in seats to view the procession, and employed the plaintiff to dispose of the tickets, agreeing to allow him 10 per cent. on all he sold.• The plaintiff, acting under this agreement, inserted adver tisements in various French and English papers, and made other arrangements for announcing to the wprld that the tickets were to be procured at his office. Accordingly, the day before the funeral he was besieged with applications for tickets; but the defendant having sent him a message that he was not to dispose of them until he had further permission to do so, he directed the applicants to wait upon the defendant instead of sell ing them tickets, and in this way the defendant suc ceeded in letting all his sittings. Nevertheless, the de fendant, after the funeral was over, refused to remu nerate the plaintiff for his trouble, and an action was brought by the plaintiff for work and labour done. The court, however, held that such an action would not lie. It should have been an actioir for breach of contract, and a second action was brought in that form ; but, at the trial, Mr. Baron Martin held that the Ines sage of the defendant did not amount to a breach of the contract, and, therefore, the plaintiff was not en titled to recover. This ruling of the learned judge was considered to be erroneous, and the plaintiff now sought to have a verdict entered in his favour on a new trial. Application granted. MARKET .NEWS-(THIS RAY.)
