It would be impossible to select a more suitable occasion for the funeral oration of a great and good man, now departed from amongst us, than that afforded by the meeting of the Polish Patriots in London, to deplore the loss which their glorious but hitherto unfortunate country has sustained in the lamented death of Lord DUDLEY STUART. It was, indeed, a calamity which wronged and in sulted Poland night well bewail. Her most faith ful altdilevated,friend had perished while engaged in her cause—ln striving to excite others to the enthusiasm by which he had himself so long been animated, and of which he had afforded such con sistent and unequivocal testimony. He was, in deed, as felicitously remarked by a contemporary, a hero, who, although he did not fall in battle, nom fight with the deadly weapons of war, devoted hl'a whole public life to a peaceful struggle against 4681)°. tista and oppression. He was the unfailing friend of theinjured, wherever they could be found. Ilia purse, his very heart, was open as the d a y tc ; melting charity." Never was " the quality of m ercy e more largely developed in any human individual. Never was man more blessed in the efforts which he made to bestow blessings on others. In many tespects his mind resembl e d philanthropistllow Aa/D . that o f th e But his philan thropy was even more " catholic;' embraced , all mankind within its unbounded space ; althoug h, as we have stated, none that poss esse d a reaso n able claim were excluded—althou g h gc raisfor i tirne and " persecution" wore the sole passports substantial testified tequired to insure his sym pathje---no merely by empty expressions, but : by übs e acts, his heart might be said to have seen especi ally devoted to Poland. He felt in his "heart of hearty" her unmerited sufferings—he saw the Purity of her patriots chastened and dignified by Ininfortuse. He appreciated the unbending firm wises of those who, born to rank and fortune, wil encountered any privations rather than bow the head before an usurping power, or rather usurping powers. He endorsed their protest in favour of " Liberty." And. although,' as an Englishman o£ rank and wealth, he was not per sonally interested, ho felt as a man, in the broad est and noblest sense of the denomination, that nothing relating to his fellow-men was foreign or indifferent to him. With him, to think was to act. Faithfully and b o ldly he flung himself into the gap. Health : fortune, life itself, were all devoted to the in spiriting cause. Nothing daunted him ; labour surpassing that of " the hardest-working sons of toil" was encountered. Sparing and economical in his personal expenditure he was profuse to wards others—towards all whose exigencies re quired assistance, and whose characters and con- duct deserved it. In his self-imposed and volun tary labours he shunned no dangers. As felicitously remarked by the Chairman of the meeting of Exiles, celebrating the 24th anniversary of their glorious attempt at independence—" He lived for Poland ; for her he died. Ho lived a great man fur a great cause, and died gloriously and nobly. Undaunted by pestilence, he went boldly, even bolder than any ancient hero, to serve the cause he so nobly espoused. Amidst the dead and the dying he fearlessly carried succour to Poland ; and though he met at every step a corpse or a group of mourners, and though with every breath he drew in the murderous air of typhus and cho lera, and although he felt that his strength of body, worn out in our service, failed him, still he did not desist from his voluntary and noble task, but fell, as he had lived, the very personification of devotion and heroism, unknown even in an cient heroic epocis. Many have braved death, many have died to serve their own individual interests, aggrandisements, or their own country, but the self-sacrifice of Lord DUDLEY STUART had no selfish object, and hence as long as truth and justice reign in this world— as long as Turkey, Sweden, and Poland exist— as long as aen honour great minds, great virtues, and groat deeds—so long he will stand chief hero amongst the noblest of martyrs, and he will live for ever in the heart of every true Pole, in the memory of every noble-minded man, and in the sacred pages of impartial history." Peace be to his soul, and glory to his name. And they will come ! He died too soon for Poland, for Hungary, for England, for every oppressed and suffering nationality, as well as for the country which we believe to be the abiding place of liberty. But not too soon for his own reputa tion. No ;he has achieved "a monument more durable than brass," more permanent than mar ble. His name will never be forgotten, but will, for enduring ages, occupy a prominent position in the archives of ►hat we hope and believe will speedily become reorganised and renovated Poland—Poland, which, Phoenix-like, will spring from her ashes to imperishable youth, with all its most brilliant attributes. THE SION, LONDON, THURSDAY .11IVENING, NOVEMBETt 60 1 1t454, has a relative in the East. Not to accept all available aid in this great War, is neither more nor less, let courtly diplomatists phrase it as they will, than to be guilty of manslaughter. COURT CIRCITLAR. WINDSOR, Nov. 29. The following had the honour of dining with her Majesty yesterday :—The Duke of Argyll, Sir George Grey, and Lieut.-Colonel the Hon. N. and Lady Mary Hood. The band of the Royal Morse Guards played in the Castle during dinner, and her Majesty's private band afterwards. The Queen walked in the Home-park this morning, and visited the Duchess of Kent at Frogmore-house. Prince Albert west to London by a special train of the Great Western Railway, attended by Major General the Hon. Charles Grey and Captain Du Platt, and re turned to the Castle at a quarter-past three from Buck ingham Palace. The Princesses Helena and Louisa took a carriage drive. The Duke of Argyll and Sir Geo. Grey left Windsor this forenoon for Lundon. Sir James R. Carmichael, Bart, Mr. John Prance, Mr. Thomas Naghten, Mr. Jonathan Hopkinson, Mr. William Brand, and Mr. W. R. Cole (Secretary), a de putation of directant gentlemen connected with the Demerara. Railway Company, bad an interview with Sir George Grey yesterday :it the Colonial-office. Despatches for Lord Raglan in the Crimea were sent by a messenger front the Foreign-office last evening. The Hon. P. Henry F. Berkeley, M.P: for Bristol, and a deputation from the Bristol Chamber of Commerce, consisting of Mr. James Bush, Mr. Adam Jack, Mr. William Terrell, Mr. John Edwards, Mr. Thos. Wright Rankin, Mr. James Protheroe, Mr. Jeha Moore Hyde, Mr. Mark Whitwill, jun., and Mr. Leonard Bruton (Secretary), had an interview yesterday with Sir George Grey. The judicial committee of the Privy Council sat yes terday. An appeal from the Prerogative Court, " An derson v. Lanenville," was commenced. THE WAR-SEA STORM. The " boisterous and stormy Euxine" still maintains its evil reputation as a "Statio male fida carinis." A fearful storm on the 14th inst. —the day subsequently to the alleged battle of the 13th—inflicted considerable, but, happily, not irreparable, damage on our shipping. Two and-thirty English transports are reported to have been lost on that fatal day. Among them, it is said, that the screw-steamer Prince and the Sea, Nymph foundered, with all on board t and that three small steamers had been stranded. These► are deplorable calamities, not so much for tho pecuniary amount of our losses as for the Lrave fellowa who have either periehed with their vessels or fallen into the bands of the enemy ! But this was not all. It was not merely the commercial marine that suffered severely ; our vessels of war sustained their share of damage. The Sauspareil, so nobly distinguished in the naval attack on Sebastopol of the 1 ith ultimo, was driven ashore, and her machinery set on fire. The Britannia, the flag-ship of Admiral DUNDAS, considerably strained, having five feet water. The Agamemnon, with the gallant LYONS, which has already achieved a reputation that renders it worthy of bearing the name of NELSON'S favourite ship, stranded ; but, we rejoice to say, rescued without serious injury. In addition to these we hear that the Retribution was only saved by throwing her guns overboard, and that the SAMP SON'S machinery was damaged. Nor have our gallar4 Allies escaped with impunity : the Henri Quatre, of 100 guns, and Pluton wan• steamer, are reported to have been wrecked. These are, indeed, painful tidings. They do not come from official sources, but we fear that they are but too true—that there is but little reason to duubt the reality of the catastrophe. We must, however, await further intelligence before we can arrive at an accurate conclusion as to its real extent. Whether the stores with which these vessels were laden had been safely landed at Balaklava or otherwise whether the much required comforts for the men, the hale and sound as well as the sick and wounded, or, still more important, the crews, or possibly reinforcements for the besiegers, were involved in the danger, is, as yet, unknown, in consequence of the Ministerial Negligence and apathy to which we have *so recently alluded. Had there been greater energy displayed in the first instance—had it not been for the disastrous and worse than puerile attempt to keep the ex penses of the War within the current income of the country, we should long since have brought the autumnal campaign in the Crimea to a conclu sion, and have had a safe resting-place for our vessels in the harbour of the captured Sebastopol. Had it not been for undue parsimony, for the unfortunate adherence to the worst points of the " penny-wise andrpound-foolish" system, he army of Moldavia could not have been transferred to the Crimea, the sanguinary battle of the sth could not have taken place, Sebastopol would have fallen, and the British vessels been sheltered in the convenient port. These melancholy disasters would then have been averted ; or, had any thing taken place, we should have had early and trustworthy information as to the full extent of the mischief. It is, however, useless to deplore past deficiencies. They are now irreparable. But we may at least profit by the experience so dearly purchased, and resolve that there shall, so far as merely human foresight can avert it, be no reason to dread a repetition of similar evils. It is for Parliament to speak—to proclaim, as we have declared in another part of our impression, that wo shall, even at the eleventh hour, go to war "in earnest." Ministers may do much during the interval by anticipating tiie wishes of the People. Even twelve days are not to be sacrificed under existing circumstances. We have been too long careless and indifferent. Let us make up for it by greater zeal and energy for the future. Looking solely to a single object —the relief of our gallant troops—the supply of ample reinforcements, and of every comfort necessary. Thus shall we vindicate the cha racter of our country, already seriously compro mised—thus shall we practise true economy, and save considerable sums, 'by simply resolving on achieving our object without reference to present outlay. WAR IN EARNEST. War in earnest. This must be the watchword of the 12th. Everything else will follow.. The right measures, the right men, ample supplies for the exchequer, stimulated and successful engineer ing invention, encoUraged Allies, waverers de- cided, everything, in short, depends on the one condition—War in earnest. With this demand on the lips of all—Peers and Commoners, Opposi tion and Ministerial Liberals—the Legislature of Great Britain must assemble. Party spirit, whe ther Ministerial or anti-Ministerial, will be infamy to all who indulge it. Our Commoners are proud of considering themselves legislators for the empire ; they cannot misunderstand the spirit cf Great Britain and Ireland. Let not a syllable then misrepresent that spirit. We want no long speeches, no declamation ; we want a phalanx of grave men in our grave position, who can place on record, in language as brief and pregnant as that of a . Lord SOMERS, the merits of their country's cause, and the cool decision of their country's judgment. If our Government discern beforehand the spirit of the country steadily animating all its representatives, if it throw itself honestly, and with all the talent at its command into the nation's object, then we for (me would counsel oblivion for the past. We confess no little fear of a Cabinet which first wheedled away six precious months in negotia tions with known despoti and swindlers, which then wasted still more precious time sufficient to have razed Sebastopol, in holding back our troops from the conflict, which dabbled in war when it ought to have made it irresistibly crushing to the enemy, and which has sacrificed thousands of British and Turkish lives through complacency to the wishes of a Government the most loathsome of all on earth to honest Englishmen. We should like, certainly, a War Ministry of better antecedents—but if even they will but come forward for war in earnest they shall have our hearty support, and find that we are Englishmen enough to let " byegones be byegones." They will find also the same forbear ance from the country's faithful Commons. Let our Government remember that Russia has staked her grand chance upon the Crimea. We accept her choice. Her obstinate defence of a purely military town, one of no commercial value whatever, shows how tenaciously she clings to the idea of domination in the Black Sea, and at Constantinople. She has drawn away her forces from the Danube and the Pruth ; she has even moved them from Poland itself to save, if she may, the means of aggression on Turkey, and of subjugating the whole of Eastern Europe. She has chosen on the Crimea to measure her strength against France and England. We thank her for the choice. We had thought of dealing with only Sebastopol there ; we have instead to fight the strength and flower of the Russian army, with Sebastopol merely as its mighty intrench ments. Now, then, is England's opportunity. There stand the Allies safely ensconced in a Rus sian Torres Vedras. The sea open to them for reinforcements and supplies, nothing to hinder their obtaining all they need, while the Russians have no means of supplying their vast numbers but land carriage, becoming almost every day more impracticable. The greater their numbers the more hopeless their condition as soon as the Allies can resume the offensive. Why, then, should not every effort be made, cost -what it may, to augment our present camp, and to cut their line of communications at the isthmus, iu which case surrender or destruction are their only alternatives. This could be done. It requires only money, which, whatever the amount, would be a cheap strategical investment, and men and materials, both of which are at the command of the Allies. The work Austria would then do for us, dirty as her mo tives might be, would be worth something. A slave labouring for us under the lash is better than one secretly helping our antagonist. War in earnest means in the first place, then, the Crimea inundated, if need be, with our troops, the Black Sea towns and forts utterly demolished, s and Austria set to show her pluck in bayoneting her beaten friend. War in earnest means much indeed. We are reminded by the Polish meeting in Sussex Cham bers that it especially means no longer refusing the service of the most legitimate and precious aid we can command. Nothing in the course of Cabinet delinquencies has galled our English feelings more than that at the instance of England —no, not of England, but of England's governors —the SULTAN should have been compelled to refuse the aid of Polish and Hungarian officers and troops. Lord DUDLEY STUART is no more ; but is there no one in the House of Lords or Commons to demand that English blood shall not be wantonly shed in every way through thejbaseness of Austria ? Is that reptile Government to be the curse of yet more English hearths and homes, because she must not only be accommodated without trouble in the Principalities, and allowed to send Russian legions from the Danube to multiply the sighs and tears of English widows and orphans, but must also detain from helping us the noble band of Poles burning to share in the great duty of the hour ? - We appeal to every bereft family, from that of the Peer to that of the rustic cottager, whether we shall be denied any longer the aid of these legiti mate, these brave, and these thrioe-valuable co adjutors. To hoist the Polish standard before Sebastopol would intimidate its Russian defenders mere than adding another vast battery of Lancaster guns. To accept the offer of the Poles ta) head a storming regiment would turn the face MENSCHIKOFF deadly pale. And what stands its the way.? Austria! Our bravest, most natural, and rightful Allies, are to be denied a: share in the contest, to please the one whose villany has already clad our most splendid victory in the deepest mourning. War ix earnest will mot hesitate on the ques tion—Poland or Austria ? The wretched coward who would not fight Russia herself, can have the least title of all to forbid our acceptance of the brave people who will. But, indeed, Austria, poor thing, need not trouble herself in the matter. She and Gallicia may square matters as they like, but England and France mean all Russian Poland, ►t least, to be Poland again ; the two nations moan this, and we are pretty confident the ruler of one •,f them means it too. Austria may find it - politic to let her share in the Polish territory be joined ultimately to its other parts. She had better look ahead and prepare for that. :Meantime a Polish regiment, marching under .Polish banners, i 3 one of the indispensable ele ments of war in earnest. We press this point on our representatives' attention. The thing is thoroughly right in itself. We owe it to our =nay ; we owe it to the Poles. We owe :it to their country ; we owe it to the .great object for which we began the war—na -Ilona' independence ; we owe it to every one who PRINCE ALBERT'S PROVISION FOR HIS BIGIMENT. It is not for the (pars only, as stated, that his Royal Highness Prince Albert has ordered winter clothiog ; but we understand that the Prince has given instruc tions to provide, at his expense, seal-skin coats for his own regiment, the Grenadier Guards, serving in the Crimea. PERKINS' STEAM GUN. Reference having been made to Perkins' steam gun, the son of the inventor states that he is prepared to undertake to supply the Government with a steam gun capable of throwing a ball of a ton weight a distance of five miles. If such a gun, he says, were fixed in Brunel's large ship of 10,000 tons, Sebastopol would be destroyed without losing a man, HOW TO STRENGTHEN OUR ENTRENCH MENTS BEFORE SEBASTOPOL. The following suggestion deserves to be noticed !—lt would be well if vessels proceeding to the Crimea should take •ut, as ballasting,' some old iron railing, as a sub stitute for pallisades about our entrenchments, for wood for such purposes is not obtainable ou the spot. It must be remembered that good pallisading adds much to the security of earthworks, and renders surprise more difficult. The above article must be cheap and abun dant here, as iron railing is so extensively used. The Earl of Ellesmere is about to send out his capa cious and swift-sailing yacht to the Crimea, filled with provisions and clothing for the army. ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—An office is to be established within the walls of the Castle at Windsor, in order that all messages at this important crisis may be instantly received by her Majesty and Prince Albert. Tn E;ST India COLLEGE.—It is said that the Go vernment has decided upon the abolition of the East India College at Haileybury. The Middlesex Militia mounted guard for the first time in her Majesty's dockyard at Portsmouth yester day ; they looked soldier-like and exceedingly well under their helmets. MALTA, Nov. 2.—The transport (No. 124) ship Bar raguay d'Hilliers, Captain R. J. Downes, arrived from England after a very quick passage, and proceeded same day to Constantinople. She experienced calm and strong head winds in the Mediterranean. We learn by electric telegraph from Plymouth that the hired screw steam•transport Manilla, Captain M'Kenzie, with shot, shell, and stores from Woolwich and Portsmouth, for the Black Sea, was forced by strong contrary winds to put into Plymouth Sound yesterday afternoon. SIR 11. SzvmOuß.—Sir Hamilton, Lady, and Miss %eymour, are at present ou a visit to the Earl and Countess of Shanncin, at Castlemartyr, near Cork. A prebendal stall in. St. Paul's Cathedral has become vacant by the resignation of _Archdeacon Robinson, It is in the gift of the Bishop of London. . . The Chancellorship of the Diocese of Chester is vacant by the death of the Rev. and Worshipful Henry Raikes, M.A. GENERAL CATHCART AT INICERIIAL—When at the battle of lnkerinati General Bosquet sent to Sir George Cathcart to inquire whether he wanted reinforcement', the latter being at the moment hemmed in by an im mense Ruisian force, is said to have replied, " Yes ; but don't hurry yourself."—French Paper. MAJOR-GENERAL OUCHTERLONT OF TRH RUSSIAN SERVICE.—We observe from Prince Menschikoff's re port to the Emperor that among the Russian officers who fell on the bloody field of Inkerman was General Alexander Ouchterlony, of the Imperial Guard, grand son of the late Mr. John Ouchterlony, of Montrose. The General, who had distinguished himself in the Em peror's service, visited Montrose some years ago, and was much esteemed for his affability and intelligence. He leaves, we understand, two sons and a daughter. The Ouchterlony family are lineally descended from Prince Rupert ; and the General's grandfather was a eon of Mr. Ouchterlony, of Kintrockat, and his wife Miss Young, of Aldhar. —Brechin Advertiser. A BAD CROSS.—The Russian major who, at the battle of Inkerman, told his men to grant no quarter, and who was afterwards made prisoner, and recognise) by an English officer, is stated, by the Impartial, of Smyrna, to be named Alexander Anguelopoula, of Greek origin, but born in Finland. A MONSTER DISCOVERT.—(From a correspondent.)— It is reported that the Rev. Evan Lewis, 8.A., Bartoneon-Humber, one of the first mathematicians and philosophers of the age, is about completing the plan of an instrument by which any city or town in the world may be destroyed without a nea rer a pp ro a c h than TEN MILES. [What next ?—ED. SUN.] LONDON ANTI-SLAVERY CONFERENCE.—A conference of the advocates of the total abolition of slavery yesterday met at the London Tavern. Present—S. Gurney, Esq. (who presided), Col. P. Thompson, Messrs. Ella Burritt, S. Sturge, S. Gurney, jun., George Thompson, a con. siderable nu mber of the society of Friends, and several or borough appointed o f, m from aryle. gentlemen from the West India colonies and the British p or t s c ommercially connected with them. REPRESENTATION Or MARYLEBONE .— Y ester d ay, an b tahg o eg n r e te , hgra w et a ee s mp h ae e rei l ts d meeting gs Liberalelectors,the b at of composing the Westmoreland Arms Tavern, George-street, Manchester-square, for the purpose of uniting the Liberal party in the selection of a candidate, to be put forward as the successor of the late Lo-d Dud ley Stuart, in the representation of the borough. Dr. Joseph, of Marylebene, was called to the chair. After a good deal of irrelevant discussion, the chairman pat the names of the proposed candidates to the vote, and the five who had the most votes were Colonel Romilly, Mr. Crawford, Sir C. Napier, Mr. Ricardo, and Mr. Prescott. N T A h s I O c N a n O v F a s sA, ABINGDON. --Major addressed meeting of Reed, the electors, held in the Co unt y•hall , on Tuesday, and warmly ll w a a Tv s illi v iEg er nc y oEnPcnluEdned received. He said that if returned to Parliament he should consider the principal duty t o b e discharged by him at Pre - sent was that of giving a v i. gorous and hearty support to the war. He wised the franchise to be extended as education progressed. He would also grant the ballot as an experiment to any constituency that wished for it, but he would not force secret voting on such c onstituencies as were opposed to it. REPRESENTATION OF LINEERICK.—Accounts received this morning announce that the average number of can didates for the good graces of an ultra-Liberal consti tuency are already pushing forward their claims for the seat vacant by the 'lamented death of Mr. Wyndham Goold. Two gentlemen have actually entered the lists —Colonel Dickson, of Croom Castle, and Mr. Stephen De Yore, of Curragh Chase, a recent adherent to the Roman Catholic Church. Besides these the local paper states that an anonymous " Liberal" will turn up in a few days, and the electors got the usual caution to hold themselves " disengaged" until the claimant shall exhi bit himself in his proper person. REPRESENTATION OF COVENTRY. — The nomination of a candidate to represent this city in Parliament, in the room of the late Mr. Geach, has been axed by the re turning officer for Saturday next, and the polling, if any should be required, for Monday. Sir Joseph Pax ton is at pre sen t t h e on l y d ec l ar ed candidate ; but it is understood that what is termed the " Moderate party" in the city have already presented, or are about to present, a requisition to Sir F. Buxton to allow him self to be put in nomination. Mr. Hubbard, of the Bank of England, is also spoken of in the Conserva tive interest, but there does not appear to be much probability of his coming forward. The prevailing be lief is that Sir Joseph Paxton, who has thoroughly canvassed tha constituency, will be returned without opposition. t; MONUMENT TO WORDSWORTH. —A statue of white marble, from the chisel of Mr. Thrupp, has just been erected in Westminster Abbey, to perpetuate the memory of Wordsworth. It represents the poet sitting in the open air, in a contemplative mood. He is resting on a moss covered knoll, with the green sward at his feet variegated w ith fl owers ; th e l egs are crosse d ; his right hand and arm are round one knee ; the left hand s with the fore finger slightly uplifted, is laid upon an open book, which the poet has just been reading, and the eyes are bent. The statue has been placed in a niche of the Baptistry, immediately on the right on entering by the great western door. LATEST NEWS. THE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL. The St. Petersburg ,Tournal of the 21st, con tains a report from Prince Menschikoff to the Emperor, dated the 12th. The Prince states that the approaches of the eiemy had not advanced at all for several days, and that though the batteries continued their tire the defences sustained it with success. Each night the pieces dismounted during the day were replaced by fresh guns and the danlage repaired. At the same time additional internal defences were being erected. The same number of the St Petersburg Journal contains a report from General Dannenberg on the battle of Inkerman, in which the blame of the failure of the attack is thrown on General Sohno noff, who advanced with the right column too precipitately, instead of halting until the left column made its attack. It also contains a report from Prince Menschi koff to the Emperor, certifying that the Grand Dukes Michael and Nicholas behaved with the greatest bravery at and after the battle of Inker man, and praying the Emperor to grant them the Order of St. George of the Fourth Class, for military merit. This prayer the Emperor has been graciously pleased to grant. We have received the following communication from our correspondent at Vienna, under the date of yesterday evening : " Another corps of 10,000 Turks go from Constantinople to Balaklava. " Omer Paella sends two regiments from Varna. " All the troops which were at Churuk-su have also gone to Balaklava. " ATHENS, Nov. 24. "In consequence of a demonstration being made in the island of Naxos, in the Archipelago, iu favour of the Russians, many employees have been dismissed." BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, Nov. 12. Napoleon's famous exclamation, " The English do not know when they al-e beaten," was never illustrated in a more happy manner than in the sanguinary battle of Inkerman. Acording to every rule of war, the little British force was out manoeuvred, and should either have surrendered at discretion or have taken to its heels. Our officers and men, in their woful ignorance of the strategic defeat they had sustained, declined either of these alternatives, and struggled with that contempt of superior odds, and that blind confidence in victory, which have ever animated the British army. The ten hours' struggle which terminated in the victory of Inkerman was . perhaps the most fearful conflict in which our troops were ever engaged. The num ber of British soldiers who took part in the action never exceeded 8,000 men. The remainder of the army, who were not on the sick list, were in the trenches. Sir Richard England with his division (the 3d) took no part in the contest, acting as a re serve. Two of his regiments, the 55th and Royals, were slightly engaged. Confronting the little British army were 40,000 Russians, who, advancing on every side in serried columns, protected by bat teries of artillery (32 and 24-pounders), thus forced the British to divide their weak force, and meet them under the most unfavourable conditions. The bodies of Sir George Cathcart and Colonel C. Seymour, who had both been killed instanta neously, were found savagely mutilated by bayonet stabs. At the time he fell, Sir George was accom panied only by fifty men, composed of the 20th, 46th, and 68th regiments, with a few Guardsmen. This will vividly prove how mixed up wero the different regiments, and explain the desperate and unequal hand-to-hand fights which characterised this bloody day. Two companies of the 46th Regiment, Captains Shervington and Dallas, who have formed through out the campaign a part of the British expedition, took a noble part in the contest. Out of 150 men this detachment had 45 casualties. The remainder of the regiment, under Colonel Garrett, arrived a few days later, iu the Prince, and landed at Balak lava on the 11th. The regiment was in magnificent condition, and in the best spirits. The band played " Cheer ' boys, cheer," as the men marched up to join the fourth division. On passing the cavalry, the infantry, the ,Freneh —in fact, at every favourable opportunity—the men gave a hearty cheer, which was returned with equal spirit.' Nothing could be more striking than the diffe rence of appearance presented by these new arrivals and the old regiments. On the one side were tattered coatees of a deep dirt colour, and all the unmistakeable signs of hard campaign ing ; on the other, we had the splendid red uni form unsoiled by a particle of dust, With crossbelts scattering pipeclay, and boots actually shining. This refreshing cleanliness almost appeared ridicu lous by the contrast. The same evening the regi ment did trench duty, and it may be safely pre dicted before a fortnight has elapsed the men will rival in seediness of aspect their brave companions in arms. Very fortunately our men do not find a soiled uniform interfere with their fighting quali ties, and the dirtier the uniform the greener the laurels. In advance of the right of our position, in which the attack of the enemy was principally directed on the sth, a strong entrenchment has been thrown up, and five eight-inch mortars have been placed there in position. This precaution, had it been adopted when proposed by Sir De Lacy Evans, might have saved many lives, and have rendered the defeat of the enemy still more disastrous. The cannonade between the forts and the Allied siege batteries continues daily, but with very little real execution. A very necessary reinforcement arrived by the Trent steamer, in the shape of a French cavalry regiment. By the same vessel our artillery was strengthened with fresh horses. The weather, which for the last four days had been showery and disagreeable, broke out on the evening of the 10th into a frightful gale of wind. The different encampments suffered extremely, most particularly that of the marines stationed on the hills beyond Balaklava, and where many of the tents were scattered to the wind. At sea the scene was fearful. Outside of Balaklava the vessels were dragging their anchors, and in the greatest alarm of being wrecked on the gigantic cliffs against which the sea was lashing with fury. Guns of dis tress were repeatedly fired, until the Agamemnon hoisted the signals " No assistance can be granted." The hurricane arose at seven, and died away almost suddenly at midnight. Had the storm continued through the night, the loss of life and shipping would have been awful. As it is, no calamity has fortunately to be recorded. Inside the harbour of Balaklava the wind was raging equally severe, and several small accidents occurred to the ships' rig ging. Since that day we have had a succession of showers, which have rendered the roads almost im passable, and increased beyond measure the diffi culties experienced by the commissariat in bring ing up supplies. To the poor Russian soldiers who are on the heights of Inkerman, and also to the rear of Balaklava, this weather must be ex tremely dismal, for they are lint very scantily pro vided with tents, arid the huts which they had commenced building have been demolished by the wind and rain. Colonel Daveney, the commandant of Balaklava, has recently ordered all the soldiers' wives and widows, who had established themselves in that place, to embark on board ship without delay. Their general misconduct had obliged the commandant to adopt this measure. It is sincerely to be desired that in future no soldiers' wives be allowed to proceed to the scene of war. With very few exceptions the characters of the women that have accompanied the expedi tion to the Crimea have been everything but me ritorious. On shore they have misconducted themselves ; whilst on board ship they are a per fect nuisance to the unfortunate captain of the transport vessel to whose charge they are com mitted. This evening two French regiments have en camped near Balaklava, which is constantly menaced with a night attack. These regiments will prove a welcome addition to the Highlanders and Marines, to whom the safety of the place has been confided. In addition to the battery of five 8-inch mortars, which we have established to the right of our position, the French are in the course of constructing a magnificent square redoubt, which, when completed, will mount 15 guns. The French pickets now scour the valley of the Chernaya, and venture even !iito the ruins of Inkerman. The Russians have withdrawn their camp to a con siderable distance from the ground they occupied before the late battle, probably to conceal their future movements. Colonel Horn, of the 20th, and Colonel Garrett of the 46th, will have the brigades of the 4th divi sion, vacated by the death of Brigadier-General Goldie, killed at Inkerman, and by the departure for England of Brigadier-General Torrens, danger ously wounded in the same action. The command of the division will devolve upon General Adams, late brigadier-general to the 2d British division. Our working parties were engaged up to this evening in burying the Russian dead, and the dis mal task is not yet concluded. Nov. 13.—The rain and wind which I mentioned irimy letter of yesterday continue without inter ruption: The roads are in a fearful state, almost impassable for the commissariat arabas. In some places the mud is above the knees. In the camp everybody is, of course, extremely uncomfortable. Th er e is, however, some consolation in knowing that the Russians are 311 a still more pitiable condi tion. Being upon higher ground than ourselves, tLey are more exposed to the merciless wind now raging, and are, besides, almost to a man without tents or a covering of any kind. If our commis sariat experience difficulty in transporting supplies over the short distance which separates the divi sional encampments from Balaklava, in what a po sition must the Russians be, who are dependent on the regular arrival of large convoys of.provisions collected over the whole of the Crimea ? When the expedition landed at Lake Kamishli there was not au officer or man who had not flat tered himself that the campaign would be a shor and a glorious one. The sanguine flattered them selves upon wintering even in England, whilst the more cautious certainly did hope to pass the stormy months either in Scutari or Constantinople. The mere idea of winterin g under canvas in the Crimea would have been regarded as a fearful impossibility, only too horrible to contemplate. The campaign has been a glorious one. Two brilliant victories have proved the great superiority of the Allies. Owing, however, to the lateness of the season, which has rendered any general assault upon the town unadvisabie, it has been decided to winter in the Crimea, and open the campaign next spring with large reinforcements on a grand scale. The whole Crimea will be swept of every armed Russian. A sufficient force will maintain the lines of Perekop, and Sebastopol will be completely in vested. The garrison, who will be driven from necessity in the winter to consume any stores of provisions which the place may contain, will be ' found to surrender in the spring, from starva tion, or the town will be carried by assault. Now that the army knows its fate, it certainly bears the idea of wintering here with great philosophical resignation. "It's a confounded bore,lbut can't be helped." Sustained by this reflection, the officers have invested largely in pea-jackets, and are deter mined to bear their fate with no more grumbling than is absolutely necessary to the well-being of a Briton. At home it is hoped everything will be done by the authorities to render the position of the army as comfortable as possible. Canvas tents are but poor protectors against wet and cold. Could not iron barracks of some kind be con structed ? The facility and incredibly short space of time with which the largest iron warehouses have been erected, and the ease with which these buildings are taken to pieces, might recommend the construction of numerous small barracks. These would be found far less expensive and more com fortable than mere timber huts. In one week the great houses of London would furnish the army with a sufficient number. The Russian reinforce ments, which may arrive in the winter, will prove more a source of weakness than of strength. They will only consume provisions, without being able to render any essential assistance. The Allied Army is strong enough to resist any attack that may be brought to bear against it. But the spring must bring large reinforcements, and the Allied 'Army should open the campaign with not less than 150,000 men. Let oar troops be well taken care of in the winter monCas, and the next campaign will witness victories no less brilliant than those of the Alma and Inkerman. Nov. 12. —The Russians have been quiet enough since the trouncing they got this day week. Their loss is estimated at 15,000. The English have buried upwards of 2,000 of them—the French 1,000 ; and a deserter reports 500 having been buried by the Russians. Seventy dead horses were counted upon the ground where their artil lery was placed. Lord Raglan has issued the following " GENERAL ORDER. " Head-quarters before Sebastopol, Nov. 9. " The Commander of the Forces returns his thanks to the officers and troops for their conduct in the battle of Inkerman on the sth inst., in which, aided by their gallant Allies, they succeeded in completely repulsing and defeating the enemy, by whom they were attacked, in very superior numbers, with masses of artillery, both of field and position, as well as of ship guns. "The army have thus taken advantage of another op portunity of distinguishing themselves, and of showing that, under all circumstances, and in presence of every difficulty, their determination to devote their best ener gies to the service of their country is still the same. "On this occasion the troops had the good fortune to be a=sociated with and supported by a division of the French army, and they will join in the expression of gratitude and admiration for their splendid advance at a most critical moment. " The loss sustained both by the French and English armies on this trying day cannot be too strongly de plored -, and while he deeply regrets having been deprived of the services of so many valuable officers and men, it is particularly painful to Lord Raglan t• announce that among those who fell, nobly discharging their duty, were Lieutenant-General the Hon. Sir George Cathcart, Brigadier• General Goldie, Brigadier-General Strang ways (all officers of distinction), and Sir George Cath cart especially, being one whose conduct elsewhere had particularly attracted the gracious notice of her Majesty, and the attention of the country. "By order, (Signed) "J. B. B. ESTCOURT, Adjutant-General." AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Nov. 26. From a perfectly well-informed source I learn that the greater part of the Federal German States have already sent in their adhesion to the propo sitions of Austria in respect of the Oriental ques tion. As Prussia, Bavaria, and Saxony are now in the foremost ranks of the supporters of the policy of Austria, a majority of at least two-thirds of the votes at the Federal Diet is fully counted upon. On Thursday or Friday last the Bavarian Mi nister announced to Count Buol the accession of his Government to the policy of Austria in the Eastern Question, and its intention to support the propositions she purposes making to the Bund. The English and French Ministers have recently informed Count Buol that in the opinion of their Governments the Four Conditions will not be a sufficient protection for Europa, and that they have instructions and powers to propose what ap pear to he necessary additions to the Protocol of August the Bth. The order that the whole of the Austrian army should be placed on a war footing was issued on the 2d November, and it has never been countermanded. In one word, the armr ments continue, and all the men on furlough have been recalled. The 62 Grenadier battalions will be formed. FRAN CE. PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING. A decree in the Moniteur convokes the Senate and the Legislative Body for the 26th of December. A second decree prohibits the exportation of corn and flour till the 31st of July, 1855.

We have received the following private tele graphic despatch : " MADRID, 25th.,--A decree extends to all the kingdom the political amnesty promulgated on the 7th. The sitting of the Cortes to-day was devoted to reading the proposed regulations of that as sembly." SARDINIA. A letter from Bellinzoaa of the .23d, in the Par lament° of Turin, states that during the discussion on the partial reform of the Constitution in the Grand Council of Ticino, M. Luvini proposed the appointment of a committee for a thorough revision of the Constitution. M. Airoldi moved, by -way of amendment, that the people should be consulted as to the propriety of convoking a Constituent Assembly. This amendment was rejected. It was believed the opposition would abstain from taking a part in the partial reform, on the ground that the Grand Council cannot reform itself when the people demand a Constituent Assembly. THE BALTIC FLEET. KIEL, HOLSTEIN, Nov. 26.—Since my despatch of yesterday, authentic information has reached me that, since the departure of the English fleet from Nargen, several of the Russian line-of-battle ships have put to sea for the purpose of uniting with th e squadron at Helsingfors. They had scarcely got fairly out of harbour ere a heavy gale came n The flag-ship lost her rudder, and thre e o f the ship.os in company got on shore. Their critical situation being observed, steamers were sent to their assist ance, succeeded in towing them off, and conducted them back again to port. Th e Czar is highly in censed at the occurrence, and has remarked that he considered it an extraordinari rai c l i c r e cu h m a s d tan fo ce r that the ships of E ng l an d and months past been nav i gated in the Bal tic seas with sut meeting any casualties—whereas his acquaintedis own fleet, the officers of whi c h were more perfectly with the situation of the various shoals which exist, had, on m ere l y b e i ng ordered to proceed to Hel singfors, when scarcely out of harbour, placed in imminent da nger th e s hi ps entrusted to their com mand. In an article which appears in the Independance Peige of the 23d inst., under date of Hamburg, of the 20th, it is stated with no small degree of con fidence that the ,merchant vessels of the Allied Powers, navigating the Russian seas, had been chased by several of the enemy's war steamers, that three had been captured, and taken into the port of Riga, the entry to which, up to the 15th inst., was free from ice. I do not think that there is much reliance to be placed in the statement, as it is barely possible that any of the Russian vessels of war could proceed down the gulph of Finland with out being intercepted by - some of our ships cruising in that quarter. By advices from Archangel up to the 10th inst., that port was then free from ice an unusual circum stance at the advanced period of the season. Many vessels were taking on board large shipments of grain, which they hoped to convey through the White Sea before the navigation thereof was com pletely closed. The Bulldog, steam-frigate, Captain W. H. Hall, has beer, despatched to Copenhagen, and thence to Elsinore, for a further supply of live cattle and vege tables. The Rosamond, steam-sloop, Commander G. Wodehouse, left the harbour this forenoon to procure pilots for two more line-of-battle ships— the James Watt and Cfesar, which are ordered to England forthwith. They have crossed top-gallant yards and bent sails, and on arrival of the pilots to conduct them through the Great Belt, having in the interim transferred their surplus provisions, over and above a month's consumption, to the Edinburgh and Blenheim, will depart on their home ward voyage. Thus, by two at a time, will the screw line-of-battle ships be withdrawn rom their present anchorage. The whole fleet will be in Eng land by the middle of December—the Duke of Wellington remaining until the latest moment. THE BATTLE FIELD OF INKERMAN. (From a Letter dated Nov. 7.) In every bush—on every yard of blood-stained ground —lay a dead or dying Russian. The well-known bear skins of our Guards, the red coats of our infantry, and the bright blue of the French ,Chasseurs, revealing each a silent horror in the glades, and marking the spot where stark and stiff a corpse lay contorted on the grass, pointed out the scenes of the bloodiest con tests. The dead were happy—the dull cold eye—the tranquil brow—the gently opening lips, which had given escape to the parting spirit as it fled frown its bleeding shell, showed how peacefully a man ma-3 , die in battle pierced by the rifle ball. The British and the French, many of whom had been murdered by the Russians as they lay wounded, wore terrible frowns on their faces,' with which the agonies of death had clad them. Some in their last throes bad torn up the earth in their hands, and held the grass between their fingers up towards heaven. All the men who exhibited such signs of pain had been bayoneted. The dead men who lay with an eternal smile on their lips had been shot. But the wounded. For two days they had lain where the hand and the ball had felled them. They were very few, it is true, but all our searchin g had not discovered the secrets of that blood-stained hill-side, and it was towards noon to-day ere the last of our soldiers had been found in his lair and carried to the hospital. But the Russians groaning and palpitating as they lay around, were far more numerous. Some of these were placed together in heaps, that they might be more readily removed. Othersglared on you from the bushes with the ferocity of wild beasts as they hugged their wounds. Some implored, in an unknown tongue, but in accents not to be mistaken, water, or succour; holding out their mutilated and shattered limbs, or pointing to the track of the lacerating ball. The sullen angry scowl of some of these men was fearful. Fanaticism and . immortal hate spake through their angry eye-balls, and he who gazed on them with pity and compassion could at last (unwillingly) understand how these men would in their savage passion kill the wounded, and fire on the conqueror, who, in his generous hu manity, had aided them as he passed. It was a relief to see that their arms were broken—that their cartridges were lying opened in heaps on the ground. Litter-bearers, French and English, clothed the hill side, now toiling painfully up with a heavy burden for the grave, or with some subject for the doctor's care ; now hunting through the bushes for the dead or dying. Our men have acquired a shocking facility in their diag nosis. A body is before you ; there is a shout, " Come ! here boys ; I see a Russian !" (or " a Frenchman," Or " one of our fellows.") One of the party comes forward, raises the eyelid if it be closed, peers into the eye, shrugs his shoulders, says quietly, "He's dead, he'll wait," and moves back to the litter ; others pull the feet, and arrive at equally correct conclusions by that process. . The dead are generally stripped of all but their coats. The camp followers and blackguards from Balaklava, and seamen from tke ships anxious for trophies, carry off all they can take from the field. At particular spots you see a party of men busy at work. Groups of them are digging away all along the hill-side, at the distance of 40 or 50 yards apart. Go over and you find them around a yawning trench 30 feet in length and 20 tat in breadth and 6 feet in depth, at the bottom of which, in every conceivable attitude, lie packed together with ex ceeding art some 30 or 40 corpses. The grave-diggers stand chatting on the mounds by the sides, waiting for the arri val of some bearers to complete the number of the dead. They speculate on the appearance of the body which is being borne towards them. "It's Corporal —, of the —th, I think," says one. "No it's my rear rank man, I can see his, red hair plain enough, and so on. - They discuss the merits or demerits of dead serjeants - of comrades. " Well, he was a hard man : many's the time I was drilled through him, but it's all over now !" or "Poor Mich! he had 15 years' service—a better fellow never stepped." This scone is going on all about the hill side. Frenchmen, with litters, are also busy looking out for their dead and wounded, and in sharing the sad labours of the day. At last the number ia the trench is completed. The bodies lie as closely as they can be packed. Some of them upraised arms, in the attitude of taking aim ; their legs stick up through the mould as it is thrown upon them ; others are bent and twisted into shapes like fantoccini. Inch after inch the earth rises upon' them, and they are left " alone in their glory." No, not alone, for; the hopes, and fears, and affections of hundreds of human hearts lie buried with them. THE MOVEMENTS OF OMER PACHA. A letter from Vienna of the 26th contains the following : " According to a consular report of the 16th from Bucharest, Sadyk Pasha had three cavalry regiments, one battery, and a few infantry battalions at Maxi nteni, on the Sereth, and it is known that powerful detachments have received orders to join him. What has occurred at Constantinople is not yet known, but it is pretty clear that Omar Pasha has received instructions not to advance in Moldavia, as he was twice urgently desired to do by the French Government. The Austrian Government declares that it has not at tempted to prevent Omar Pasha's advance, but as our adage has it, " there are many ways of killinga cat." Prussia is probably again meddling in matters which do not concern her, for the Berlin correspondent of the Presse thus writes :—" New complications might arise for Austria should Omar Pasha advance against Russia before the matter is settled with the Bund, and this gives great uneasiness here. MM. von Musebach and and Konig, our Consuls-General for Wallachia and Moldavia, have received orders to leave immediately for Bucharest and Jassy, and their hurried departure is caused by the above-mentioned apprehensions." The Varna correspondent of the Preinden Blatt writes that Omer Pacha has received orders not to act against Bessarabia, but to send 20,000 men to Balaklava without delay. It is here generally believed that the Freinden Blatt received the news from the Russian Em bassy, which often seems to know more of other people's business than they do themselves. THE ENGLISH PRESS IN WALLACHIA. A Bucharest correspondent of pie Franclen, Blatt, whose pen is evidently in the service of this Govern ment, writes that it was the object of the English party to publish independent newspapers at Bucharest, Krajova, Buseo, and Braila. The Hospodar, who is now to Austria- what be formerly- was' to Russia, refused to grant the privilege demanded, " until the new press laws should be published." You were, some time since, informed that Baron Edward Bach had furnished Stirboy with a secretary, and probably that functionary will assist in drawing up the new laws " t e T n h e e e A d s g t r n i f a n ,, pa n p e i r u s t e g r d a i v u e t t h laide preceding new glish s " for repressing the licentiousness of the Wallachian u p n r e d s e s r . press in Wallachia.!' BOTANICAL SOCIETY OF LONDOIT.—The 18th anni versary meeting was held last evening at the society's rooms, 20, Bedford-street, Strand, Dr. J. E. Gray, F.R.S., president, in the chair. From the report of the council, it appeared that the society consisted of 250 members, that many thousand specimens of British and foreign plants had been received for distribution among the members in January next ; the donations to the library had been considerable, and comprised many valuable botanical works. The report was unanimously adopted, after which a ballot took place for the council for the ensuin g year, when the chairman was re-elected president, and he nominated Mr. J. Miers, F.R.S. and Mr. A. Henfrey , F.R.S., vice-presidents, and M r.i J. Reynolds, treasurer. LIVERPOOL.—The clipper ship James Baines will take out the snail to Australia of the 9th of December, in place of the GeLeral Screw Steam-Shipping Company's vessel ; and the clipper ship Lightning will carry the sth of January mails to Australia, in place of the over land mail. LIVERPOOL, Nov. 29.—The United States' mail steamer Pacific, Nye commander, which should have taken her departure for New York with 173 passengers and the mails of the Cunard as well as the Collins' line on board, does not sail until to-morrow, owing to the boi.,terous weather. Last night it blew a gale, and heavy squalls still prevail. The schooner Progress, of Bristol, was di iven on the West Boyle Bank during tke gale, and sank ; and the schooner Czar, with coals on board for the Pacific, went ashore, and was abandoned in Llandudno-bay. No other casualties have been re ported. The additional vessels reported by the overland mail being on their way from Australia are the Crcesus steamer, with 3,805 ounces of gold and 20,992 sovereigns ; the Anna Mary, with 16,000 sovereigns ; and the Raphr el , with 1,073 ounces and 18,000 sovereigns, the total va:ue being 75,0001. I,
