The latest telegraph from Vienna, transmitted yesterday evening, announces that " the Russian Embassy had received a despatch of the 22d from the Crimea, of which all that was known was that it contained news unfavourable to the Russians !" Aa we stated yesterday, this intelligence must be taken quantum valeat. It may be true that more recent accounts had been received by the Russian party than could be obtained by either the French or English, or even Austrian authorities ; but we cannot conceive that it should be flee days later from the same point. The Allied Powers would certainly seem to have greater facilities for the transmission of authentic messages. They have rapid steamers, and au organised system of posts, so far as the " Tatars" or " couriers," who ride for a continuance at the rate of some nine miles an hour, can be considered as such ; and yet it has invariably taken eight or nine days before we halie received the official accounts sent with all these advan tages. Indeed, the latest from the French or English generals to the Ambassadors of their re spective countries is tweire days old, being only to the 16th instant ; that to the 17th being a de spatch to OMER PA.CII.I, which went directly to Bucharest. Now, considering that communica tion by sea is totally suspended for the Russians, and that any despatch from the Crimea should be transmitted round by Perekop and Odessa, we scarcely think it probable that authentic news could be received within such a time. It is, how ever, possible ; and, therefore, although we may not yield implicit confidence, we should not alto gether despise the intimations thus received. But even supposing that for argument sake we admitted the receipt of such intelligence, we know nothing of the purport thereof. It is said to be unfavourable to the Russians ; and that may easily be guessed at, for were it otherwise there would be no concealment, no holding back of the glad tidings. They would instantly be circulated with emendations and additions, so as to influence to the greatest degree practicable the German waverers and time servers. The "silence," then, augurs well for the good cause ; that is to say, unless the reason for it be something analogous to that put forward by the needy knife-grinder, when asked to relate his melancholy tale— " Story—God bless you, I have none to tell." This, we fancy, will be something like the true state of the case. But we may fairly look forward to very inte resting accounts speedily arriving. Another de spatch from the Crimea, up to the 19th or 26th, may be expected every hour, while we may rea sonably anticipate the full details of the landing, and all that had occurred up to the 16th, coming per the Thabor steamer, which left Constantinople on the 20th instant, and was expected to arrivo at Marseilles ere this. The full particulars of this arduous and important operation —one perfectly un p a ralleled in ancient or modern times—will be anxiously looked for. Never before was so numero U 74 an any, „o completely pro vided with all the miteriel of war, landed on a hostile coast without loss or dama ge , brought under notice. N eve r did nearly 60,000 men, amply provided with artillery, cliaerabark, in a country garrisoned by more than 50,000 men, without some attempt being made to imp e d e or embarrass the proceeding. We can easily inla_ gine how perfect must - have been the arrangements that led to such felicitous results ; but we shall not ou that account be the less eager for the exact details of the brilliant exploit. If it be, indeed, true that INfEltscffixoFF has concentrated his forces at Benliuk, or any other point on the Alma, we may receive about the same time intelligence of the first pitched battle in which the Allies have been engaged—the "fleshing of their maiden swords," so far, at least, as the present war is concerned. We know that the troops expected to march on the 17th or 18th, and a single day would bring them to the scene of contest, which is but little more than thirteen miles from the point of dis- I`l,t SUN, ILIONTDON, THURSDAY EVEN:INa SPIPTENTrarit 98, lgttict. embarkation, at Old Fort. Then would com. " the tug of war." But we do not suppose that the Russians would hazard a general or decisive battle in the open field. Their aim would rather be to harass or delay the invading army, and not to risk a serious encounter until they could do so behind stone-walls, protected by the redoubts and batteries erected during the period of inaction, while full information was given of our ultimate intentions. It is more than probable that the Fabian policy pursued with so much success by BA CLAY, TOLL!, and BAGRATION, in 1812, will be adopted- The circumstances are, however, very different. The system of retiring day after d a y, leaving nothing but devastation in its train, though it might have answered in the heart of Russia, in 1812, would be of but little benefit on the shores of the Crimea, where abundant stores could be supplied l by the numerous steamers engaged for the Allies. We believe, then, that though there may be seve ral skirmishes, there will be no serious encounter until the Allied Forces approach the entrenched heights above Sebastopol. The formidable strug gle will take place there ; and when they are stormed, the fate of Sebastopol cannot be long deferred. Humanly speaking, we may anticipate the complete destruction of the Russian fleet and arsenal long within the period allowed for our operations. We need only add, that the reserve force was to embark on the 18th, so that they would pro bably rejoin their comrades by the 21st or 22d at the latest. Our domestic political quarrels one after an other become matter of history, yet they do not appear to lessen the materials for Constitutional struggles. Hardly is oue ended when it is found that another was ripening behind the last, and, perhaps, only hindered by it from forcing itself into prominence. Probably our " Venerable Con stitution," like our frail. personal constitutions, needs the constant reaction of opposed organisms for the continuance of sound health. Such a belief is, at least, both common and very consolatory, for those who must share in the interminable strifes which will arise when men are really free. Even in America they contrive to keep up Whig and Democratic parties, the Whigs of that Paradise of white-skinned liberty being gentlemen whom the RUSSELLS, GREYS, and LANSDOWNES of this country would denounce as superlatively extreme Radicals. Republics, as well as Autocracies, must have their " ins" and " outs," their pull back and push-forward parties, and the only difference seems to be that under the latter, Siberia or the bowstring is too commonly the fate of the unsuccessful, while under a republic the mortification of being in a minority is the worst result. It is happy, too, for the stability of our in stitutions, that while a few in all the great quarrels retain their prejudices with their lives, the vast majority of our hold-back party frankly accommodate themselves to the settlement effected by the majority, and often manfully avow that it works better than they had feared. We are much gratified to find Mr. HALEY amongst those nobler specimens of Eng lish Conservatism ; we aro almost as proud of the English good sense and temper, which adopt cordially a system which had been long resisted, as of the ability and energy which planned and carried some great reform. It is the want of this quality in which most of our Continental neighbours are so deficient, which makes Con stitutional Government so difficult to work among them. Mr. HENLEY, at the Agricultural Meet ing at Chipping Norton, instead of repeating to the farmers before him any of the usual and dolorous old forebodings, frankly expressed his conviction that English wheat would always command English prices, that the continental prices would be raised more than ours seriously depressed, and that, grow as much as we would, we should still pay for it what the richest nation in the world could afford t o give. He sees that our consumption must increase at least as fast as the productive power of our agriculturists, and that the lowering effect of foreign supplies must always be checked by the rise 11n the ports of purchase, and the cost of freight. With such, now, verified facts before him, Mr. HE N LEY counsels the farmers to imitate their best customers, the manufacturers, and endeavour to increase. their production indefi nitely. He expresses his confidence in theirskill and energy, andhasno fear of the result. He even turns the tables on the mauuntcturers, by suggesting that if they could no mare increase the number of their mills than the farmer can of his acres, they might not, perhaps, have doubled their pro duce. We must say, however, for our manufac turing friends, that they have by improvements in machinery certainly made each mill do at least the work of two, more probably of three or four, of the old ones. Such a speech as Mr. HENLEY'S is proof enough that not merely is a Protectionist policy abandoned for ever, but that the old Protectionist feeling is dying out. As we observed, however, some quarrel must soon spring up to supply its place. The War will not last for ever, we trust not for long, though we can see causes at work which may pro tract it till tho suppressed nationalities of Europe get their own. At home, however, there is obviously one question which is forcing itself more and more upon public attention, and which we venture to surmise will be the next grand subject of political struggle. We do not advert to Reform, not even to the only real reform of the Ballot, the electors understand that subject, and mean, without much further discussion, to have something better than the still-born babe, over whose interment its stoical parent softened into some" natu ral tears." The struggle, which we regard as begin ning to become a great one, is that on the rela tions between Church and State. It meets us now at every turn, in the colonies as well as at home, and the position of the combatants is totally changed from that which they took some thirty years ago. Then Catholics were struggling for emancipation from frightful penal laws, as well as from political disabilities. Protestant Dissenters were humbly petitioning for the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts, and hardly dared to think of opposing a Church Rate, much less on the ground of the equal claims of all sects. Ireland was crushed, and Scotland was quiet—we mean ecclesiastically. On the other hand the Church assumed that its priority of privilege was unquestionable and unquestioned ; and oven the Scottish Establishment, with its assembly of Doctors of Divinity and Elders, felt herself as secure as she could wish. How changed now is all this ! Toleration is scouted as igno -1 minions, a 3 a mere ticket-of-leave freedom, and religious equality is now the demand of all the unprivileged. A member of the House of Commons, destined, if his life be spared, as we trust it will be, to be a distin guished member of the House of Peers, even I publishes to his fellow-members that equality of religious privileges is the obvious tendency of the age. For this he is taunted by one who should be the leader on questions of religious liberty, with using arguments which would subvert much more than Church Rates. Nor is the charge de nied. Looking around, we see Anti-State , Churchmen rising into great influence, and not despicable in point of numbers in the House of taking Commons . - we see, moreover, R oman C a th o li cs Free Church their own independent cours e , an d th e n Scotland far more powerful both Inumerically and politically than the old Church. Then Church -rate battles are universal, and are fought on the br oa d est ground, while the Religious Census has almost revolutionised the mind of the Legislature itself. Th e f r i ends of Church Endow men is are become the apologists, and their oppo nents as if theory and f act were both on their side. speakC Churchmen themselves are demonstrating the power of Voluntaryism, who are vastly increas ing Church accommodation on every side ; and the Voluntaries, now an acknowledged party, are triumphantly ploading tho Churchman'; awn libe, ra:ity in d isproof of his need of State endowments. To all this must be added the great schism in the Church i tself. Only within the last few days it has : resulted in the resignation of the brother of the Bishop of OXFORD, on the avowed ground of his rejection of that cor ner stone of the English Church, the Qurzs's !supremacy I The nation sees with astonishment bishops and clergymen denouncing the authority by which they are what they are, and denouncing each other, too, as leading the souls of their flocks to perdition. It seems as if nothing could pacify the belligerents who fight over the Articles they both have signed, and the more that common prudence demands quiet, or at least union, the more they widen the division which must prove fatal to both. What with the exposures of Episcopal rapacity and the bitter contempt shown by the two great Church parties for each other, tho Church has destroyed herself the traditional veneration which was her strongest support. Who can tell, looking at general facts like these, whether Mr. GLADSTONE may not become to the Church what Sir R. PEEL was to commerce, and his elementary notions on ecclesiastical independ ence have a like result with PEEL'S early announce ment of the rights of buyer and seller; and whether, we may add, some ecclesiastical HENLEY may not be heard, not many years hence, bidding bishops and clergymen to rely no longer on Protection, but on their own religious faithfulness and energy. THE. LATE MRS. WARNER. It was our painful duty to record yesterday" the demise of this celebrated actress, which took Waco on Sunday last. She had been suffering during many months under a disease for the most part incurable, cancer in the breast, and her friends were, therefore, fully prepared for the melancholy event. Indeed her living so long, under such circumstances, caused considerable astonish ment to her medical attendants. Mrs. Warner must have been nearly 50 years of age. She was a native of , Ireland, and, as Miss Huddart, rendered herself famous upon the Dublin stage. Her career in London is too I well known to require any lengthened notice. Who can ever forget her magnificent embodiment of the part of Joan of Arc, in the drama of that name—of Rachel, in the gorgeous spectacle of The Jewess, on the boards of Old Drury ? She also performed several important char acters in the plays of Shakspere with great success, at our principal theatres, and was generally respected for her artistic abilities, no less than for her moral worth. It is rather a curious circumstance that death should have followed so shortly after her benefit at Sadler's Wells. The same incident occurred in the cases of Mrs. Glover and poor Kenny. LATEST NEWS. THE WAR. DESPATCH FROM THE CRIMEA. VIENNA, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The Russian Embassy has received a despatch of the 22d from the Crimea. All that is known is, that it contains news un 7avourable to the Russians. HERMANNSTADT, WEDNESDAY. The Turks are advancing to the Pruth. Lord Raglan has called for a diversion in Bessarabia. The advance guard is already on the march. Omer Paella sets out to-morrow. PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The Spanish Government has removed the French refugees into the interior of the country, beyond the Ebro. They will not be allowed to reside in Arragon, Catalonia, the Basque Pro vinces, or in Madrid. KIEL, SEPT. 24. The French imperial steam yacht La Reine Hortense arrived here yesterday to coal. The French war steamer Cocyte is also lying at the jetty, taking in coals. The depot of this fuel belonging to the French Government is by no means exhausted yet, and will in all probability be replenished in time to be made use of in the next year's naval campaign in the Baltic. steamers must already have reached the Sea of Azoff, for they left the Island of Serpents on the 19th. The frigates Fury, Vengeance, and Retribution have been cruising since the 10th off Sebastopol. A Tartar has brought despatches to Belgrade, with news from the seat of war up to the 15th. The allies occupy the road leading from Cape B Lba to Sitnpheropol, where the Russians are' concentrating themselves ; but it appears that they have no large force at their command. Adviccs from Odessa, of the 16th, say that the rumour of the landing in the Crimea was spread there, but that it was severely forbidden to speak of it. Letters from Constantinople an nounce that four small Anglo-French steamers were off Jemikale, and that it was presumed they had orders to force the entrance of the Sea of Azoff. SIR CHARLES NAPIER.

THE REGISTRATIONS. MIDDLESEX. The Green Man Tavern, Bethnal green, was yesterday selected by the Revising Barrister as the scene of the re vision of the lists of voters derivinz their qualification front property situate in Christ Church, Hackney, Shore• ditch, Bethnal•green, Norton F (Agate, and Old Artil lery-ground. FREEHOLD HOUSE SOCIETY. Henry Ashford appeared, and claimed to be placed upon the register, in right of one-twentieth share of eight freehold houses, situate in different parts of the parish of Bethnal-green. Mr. Jones opposed the claim, on the ground that the qualification was insufficient. The Revising Barrister.—The claim is very similar to that put forward yesterday by the " Long-shoremen" of the Isle of Dogs. There can be no doubt that the claimant is seised of property of the value for which he claims, but the property is so split up and divided, that he clearly has not a right to the franchise from it. It is not sufficient that a man makes up a 40s. interest deri vable from several parcels of property situate in various places, as in this case ; he must derive his freehold in terest from distinct property. The name must be ex punged. The name and those of two other parties preferring similar claims were expunged. CITY OF LONDON. The revision of the list of voters for the city of Lon• don was continued yesterday by Mr. T. Y. IVl'Chnstie, in the Court of Queen's Bench, Guildhall. OMISSION OF OVERSEERS. Iu the parish of St. Olave, Silver-street, there were three objections which had been duly served on Mr. Brass, one of the overseers of the parish, on the 25th of August. It appeared, however, that Mr. Brass, having been served with these objections, quietly locked them up in his desk, and forgot all about them. Being, how ever, communicated with about a week ago, in conse quence of the non-publication of those objections, he commenced ransacking his desk and found the missing documents, which he handed over to his colleague and the ♦estry desk, but, as a matter of course, too late for publication in terms of the Act of Parliament. Mr. Lane, the vestry clerk, and the other overseer, Mr. Brass's colleague, appeared in court, and justified themselves by imputing all the blame to Brass. The Revising Barrister, however, said he could make make no distinction between them, and that he had a good mind to fine all the three in the sum of 15/., which would be Si. to each of them for so gross a neglect a duty. The objections were then gone into and allowed ; one of the parties being dead, another in the police, and another removed. On Mr. Lane, the vestry clerk, presenting his bill of costs connected with the registration, which amounted to 3 guineas, The Revising Barrister said after the irregularity of which the overseers had been guilty in not publishing the list of those objections he could allow them no costs. WEST SURREY. Archer Ryland, Esq , the revising barrister, held his first court, at the Spread Eagle Hotel, Epsom, on Tuesday last. Mr. G. Edgar Dennis, and Mr. John Wells, solicitors of London, attended for the Reformers, and Messrs. Hart, of Dorking, for the Tories. The Reformers made 41 objections—the Tories did not make any. The following is the result of the revision : —For the parish of Banstead, the Reformers made 7 objections, which were all sustained. Thames Ditton, three objections by Reformers, all sustained. Effingham, two objections by Reformers, sustained. Epsom, 11 objections by Reformers, 9 sustained, 1 withdrawn, and 1 failed. Ewell, 15 Reform objections, 13 sustained, 2 failed. In the whole district there were 32 new claims. Reform majority on the day's revision, 34. IMPROVEMENTS IN WHITECHAPEL.—In consequence of the great increase of population in the east of the metro polis, the Improvement Commissioners of the parish of Whitechapel have been compelled to lay out a large suns of money in effecting several local improvements in dif ferent parts of the parish. One of the most important is now being carried out in High-street, by the widening of the foot-pavement, which will be one of a depth greater than any flag-stone pavement in the metropolis. The portion of High-street being laid down with flag stones is on the north side, extending from Osborne street towards the turnpike at the end of Cambridge heath-road. Some parts of this length will be from 15 to 20 feet in width. The thoroughfare was long com plained of as being too narrow, more particularly on a Siaturday night, when the road side of the pavement is lined with hucksters selling various commodities, on which occasion thousands attend from all parts of that neighbourhood. CHURCHWARDEN MINISTER.—A curious incident took place at High Holden on Sunday week. The Rev. R. Shute, rector of Hoiden, and a minor canon of St. London, having been absent from Ws clerical duties four Sabbaths out of the last five, during which time the church-going people have had to return to their homes without their usual spiritual admonitionsi the congrega tion assembled on the 17th inst. and proceeded to make the best arrangement in their power for public worship. The parish churchwarden and the churchwarden of the absent rector, with common consent, gave out the Old Hundredth Psalm, after which the parish churchwarden read a portion of Scripture, selected from Jeremiah, c. 23 ; .an anthem followed, sung by an excellent sacred choir. The assembly not being quite satisfied with so small a portion of Sacred Writ, the churchwarden read another portion of Scripture selected from St. John, c. 3, succeeded by another anthem from the choir, and in ' conclusion sixteen verses were read from the 10th chap ter of St. John.--South Eastern Gazette. ARCTIC WHALE FISHING.—The gallant Capt. Penny set sail again on Friday from our port, in his trim little brig, for the Arctic regions, to prosecute the whale fishing. We believe he bad every expectation of meeting his other ♦essel, the Sophia, on her way home with a full cargo.—Aberdeen Herald. ARRIVAL OF THE EAGLE.--the Eagle has arrived from Melbourne, whence she sailed on the 30th of Juno, with 80,000 ounces of gold and 35,000 sovereigns, making a total of 355,0001. In the present state of the conti nental exchanges, which, according to the present ac counts, maintain a firm appearance at most places, the major portion of these receipts is likely to be taken to the Batik of England. HOPS.—Hereford New Hop Market, Sept. 27. Number of pockets pitched, 540 ; number of pockets passed the scales, 355. The samples are very good. Price 171. to 201. LINARES LEAD COMPANY.—At a meeting of the Li nares Lead Company yesterday afternoon it was resolved to defer the declaration of a dividend, and to appropriate the balance of profits to the working of the mines. The production of ore continues, but the outlay upon new shafts, &c., has been considerable. Overatious in some branches have been impe !ed by sickness, and great (lit% ficulty has been experienced in procuring freight for lead from Spain. The balance to the present date is 6,8371. SHIELDS HARBODR.—The harbour of Shields (says the Newcastle Chronicle) has presented a noble appearance (luring the past week, being literally "a fore,t of masts." Never since the flue old river first took its source in the hills of Cumberland and Northumberland, have so many in:jestic vessels floated at one time on its waters as (luring the present week, and notwithstanding the country is at war with one of the greatest powers in Europe, the flags of nearly every maritime nation in the world floated from the mast-heads of vessels in Shields ) harbour on Sunday. THE ARMY IN THE CRIMEA The Debats has a long article on the last ac counts received of the expedition in the Crimea. We extract as follows :—" What the army appears to have intended was to go and occupy, as near Sebastopol as possible, a position, cape, or tongue of land, favourable for the establishment of an entrenched place d'armes, in which will be placed the hospitals, stores, provisions, and ammunition, where the heavy siege artillery will be landed, and from which place com munications may be daily kept up with the fleet for a continued supply of food fur the army. This is indispensable ; and, in addition, the posi tion must he so situated as to serve as a base for the operations of the siege, which will naturally be necessary against the forts situated on the northern side of the harbour, and in front of which extend the town and port of Sebastopol on the opposite side. The country which the army has to pass through in skirting the coast is a dry and stony soil, intersected here and there by sandy patches and rising grounds of no great elevation. There are several roads parallel to the sea, which the Tartars pass over every day with carts drawn by two dromedaries, which are the camels of the country, as they are in Algeria, where, however, it is not the custom to harness ;hem. During the dry season in the Crimea vehicles can follow every kind of path, or even go across the fields. It is known that field artillery passes everywhere, and that if any obstacles present themselves, the pick axe and the shovel soon make a practicable pas sage. The army will find on its road four small rivers, the Bulganak, having the village of Zamride where it disembogues itself; the Alma, on which Prince Menschikoff is said to have concentrated his troops ; the Kalcha, where it was first intended to effect the landing, and the Belbek or Kabarta, a league and a-half from Sebastopol. The valleys of these rivers are wooded, and furnished with some Tartar villages. Perhaps but little water will be found there in the present season. As to the re ception of the Tartars, it is seen that it was fa vourable on the first day, and that the inhabitants were anxious to favour as much as possible the march of the allied troops, where the presence of the Turks could not fail to excite their sympathy. In fine, this great and perilous operation of land ing 60,000 men in an enemy's country has been accomplished with wonderful rapidity and ability —an operation unequalled in military annals, and which the strategists of our last great continental v ars, Jemini at their head, looked on as almost impossible on such vast proportions. In fact, the enterprise was as difficult as it was stupendous ; and who could foreiee that not one of the Russian, masses of troops, of which so much was said, would be found on the shore to dispute our landing, or to make us pay dearly for taking possession 01 the beach ? Great was the anxiety felt hero for some days, and the news of the happy lauding has pro duced on every mind the effect of a victory." The Allgemeine Zeitung says :—" Will Sebastopol fall ? will it hold out ?" So much is certain, that our calmest and most clear. sighted military men predict its fall. According to the communications made by competent judges, who have lately seen the fortress, it does not seem to be remarkably strong. By sea it is almost impregnable. Sebastopol, by its singular site, is not very accessible from the land side. Russia herself always sends troops, provisions, and ammunition to it by sea. It is an isolated post, which, should it once fall into the enemy's hands, Russia herself cannot menace further, sav e w ith vain demonstrations. Moreover, it appears that the corps now stationed in the fortress consists of mere recruits f in whom no great confidence is felt. Under these circumstances the chief speculation of political persons is for its fall. The Vienna Lloyd asks :—" Why have the troops of the allies encountered no resistance at their landing on the Crimea ?" The Soldaten Freund thinks it can answer the question in the fol lowing manner :—"This lies in the system of the defence. Excepting Sebastopol, not one single Russian object situated on the Tauric coast could seriously oppose a landing covered by float ing batteries consisting of 3,000 guns. The ad miral and adjutant-general, Prince Menschikoff, offers no impediment therefore to the allied troops on any point of the coast whatever. Then there are neither artificial nor natural objects of defence on the uniform plan, from Eupatoria to Simphero pol, the seat of the governor-general of the Crimea. But not far from Simpheropol the Russian cavalry corps is encamped, while three divisions of infantry occupy the heights towards Bashi-Seral and Se bastopol. Among these heights, by-the-bye, there are three water-ridges. This tract is a regular theatre for war ; it may be compared with that of Castiglione delle stiviere, where in every war hitherto waged the contest has been fought out in Upper Italy. Above Bashi Seral the Russians have erected fortifications on detached eminences, and these will have to be stormed by the allies. THE GOVERNOR OF BOMARSUND'S OPINION OF SEBASTOPOL. The Satul Public of Lyons contains the following: —" In a trip which I recently made to Havre, a friend had the kindness to present me to the Rus sian General Bodiico. I led the conversation to Russia and Bomarsund. Amongst other things the general said : I wish that Prince Paskiewitch had been confined with me in the fortress of Bo marsund. lam certain that, like me, he would' not have thought of prolonging a useless resist ance. You know the courage of the Russian sol dier, but in this case courage went for nothing. It was impossible to stand against the excellent firing of the English, and especially of the Chasseurs- de- Vincennes. As soon as we showed ourselves at an embrasure, balls arrived with such precision, and in such profusion, that it was impossible for us to take aim.' One of the persons having referred to the disembarkation, I asked General Bodisco if he did not believe the force of Sebastopol exaggerated by the newspapers. ' No,' he replied ; 'Sebastopol is, towards the sea, truly formidable ; but if the fleets can approach it as they did Bomarsund, and if by land the Chasseurs-de-Vincennes can get the walls of Sebastopol within reach of their rifles, resistance will be no more possible to its garrison than to that of Bomarsand.' CONSTRUCTION OF BATTERIES NEAR EUPATORI A. Cape Baba, near Eupatoria, is chosen for the an chorage ground of the fleet, and the construction of batteries commanding the road was commenced on the day of the landing. The disembarkation of the reserves, amounting to 20,000 men, according to the plan of the expedition, was to begin on the 24th. The crews of the fleets, 25,000 men in all, will only be landed in case the reserves should be required to reinforce the main army. The Lloyd of Vienna, of the 23d, in a letter from Bucharest says :—lmmediately on the news having spread of the landing of the troops, it was reported that the Russians had been beaten by the allies. But it is certain that the Rusians are retiring by forced marches from the coast into the fortresses. It is believed that they will take up a position at the foot of the mountains, and that their left wing will extend from St. Kryni to Karassu-Bazar. The body of auxiliary Tunisian troops is to leave at once for the Crimea without stopping at Varna. Several small steamers have been despatched to the Sea of Azoff, to cruise and give chase to the four Russian steamers that are constantly carrying over troops and ammunition to the Crimea,. These , COURT CIRCULAR.

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—It is stated that a mar riage is on the tapis, and is expected to be solemnised on the 2.Bth inst., between the Hon. and Rev. William Lyt telton (brother to Lord Lyttelton and nephew of Lord Spencer) and Miss Pepys, daughter of the Bishop of Worcester, and cousin to Lord Cottenham.— Wolver hampton Chronicle. SUDDEN DEATH or THE MARQUIS OF ORMONDE.— We regret to announce the sudden death, from an attack of apoplexy, of the Marquis of Ormonde, which occurred on Tuesday, at Loftus Hall, in the county of Wexford, whither he had gone a short time since, accompanied by the Marchioness and family, to enjoy the benefit of sea bathing. ANECDOTE OF LORD RAGLAN.—The Banshee, which sailed from Constantinople on the 12th with the English mail, to join the fleet, received orders to repair to the neighbourhood of Serpent's Island, where a vessel would be in waiting to direct the captain as to where the ex pedition was to be found. An anecdote is told of one of Lord Raglan's aides•de camp, which, if not true, might well be so. The young gentleman wished to take his lordship ~:unawares, and elicit the destination of the army. ‘• When are we likely to get to the Crimea ?" he asked. " Are you going there ?" was his lordship's quiet reply. The American clipper ship Romance of the Seas, Dumaresq, of Boston, from Canton, is discharging her cargo of teas at the western quay of the London Dock. She is the longest ship that ever entered the London Dock. Lieutenants Ward and Morris, R.N., are appointed Admiralty agents on the Southampton station. Baron Andre Marie Hue, ex-premier valet de chambre of Louis XVIII. and Charles X., died on the 16th near Bray (Seine et Marno), at the age of 68. Baron Andre Hue was the only son of M. Hue, who shared part of the captivity of Louis XVI., and was mentioned by that monarch in his will.—Paris Paper. _ _ _ Olf ER PACHA'S NEPHRWS.--The German Journal of Frankfort states that Omer Pacha has three nephews, all of them in the Austrian army. One of them, Pierre Lattas, has just been promoted to the rank of major ; another, Etienne Lattas, is captain in one of the frontier regiments ; and the third, Theodore Lattas, is lieutenant in the regiment of infantry of the Archduke Leopold. Omer Pacha lately sent to each of his three nephews a superb horse. He formerly served in the same frontier regiment in which his nephew is. IMPROVEMENTS AT THE LONDON TAVERN.— During the last few weeks this great establishment has been coin pletely re-decorated at considerable cost. The spacious banqueting rooms have been tastefully fitted up, and the most liberal arrangements made to give additional faci lities in the cuisine department. The suite of rooms will be opened throughout for the first time since the im provements on Saturday next, when the inauguration of the sheriffs elect, Alderman Muggeridge aneMr. C. D. Crosely, will be celebrated by a grand entertainment, Mr. Bathe, the spirited proprietor, having no limit as signed him as to price, so that the whole of the vast re soorcem will be opened to the numerous friends of the sheriffs elect. VOLUNTEERS TOR THE AUSTRALIAN POLlCE.—Yester terday a notice was issued from the Colonial Office, by order of the Secretary of State for the Colonies, to the effect that Government, intending to augment the police force is Australia, would accept volunteers to the extent of 160 from the City, Metropolitan, and Dublin police. The privates will receive 55., sergeants Bs., and inspec tors 12s. a day. The men must be under 35 years of age, single, or married men, provided they have not more than two children. There is no fixed time for service, but they will be superannuated in the ordinary way. ROBERT OP AN HOSPITAL POOR-Box.—A few nights ago some thieves broke open the poor-box of Queen Charlotte's Lying-in Hospital, New-road, and decamped with the contents. The institution will be put to soma pecuniary inconvenience, as the contributions dropped into the box from time to time amounted to a consider able sum. WINDING UP OF THE STAR FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY. —Yesterday a final dividend of 3s. per share of the capi tal of this company was declared, making a total divi dend of 1/. 3s. per share to be paid to the shareholders on the winding up of its affairs. The company has been in operation about nine years, with a nominal capital of 500,0001., the sum of 1/. 10e. per share being paid up, and a considerable portion of the capital having 'become absorbed in losses, it was lately determined by the share holders to wind up the affairs of the company. The divi dend would have been much smaller had it not been for the transfer of the business of the company to the Man chester office, for a valuable consideration. BATHING IN THE SERPENTINE.—Since the commence ment of the bathing season in the Serpentine River, Hyde Park, no fewer than nearly 200,000 persons have availed themselves of this healthful recreation. The Humane Society have three boats employed on the river, for the protection of the numerous bathers, morning and evening, and 19 persons who otherwise must have in evitably perished were saved by the exertions of the boatmen, and but one fatal accident, out of the above immense number, has occurred. His Grace the Duke of Wellington has forwarded to the committee 591. in aid of its funds. CONSTANTINOPLE. Our latest letters received from Constantinople bear date the 14th. News from the Crimea looked for with the greatest anxiety. The Turkish army is now idle, and likely to re main so, unless a campaign on the Lower Danube form part of the operations of the allies. The forces of Omer Pasha are in excellent condition, aud, should they i e kept inactive during the present sea son, they might be used with good effect in the at tack on Ismail and the surrounding country, which will be necessary for the deliverance of the Danube from the enemy. There is a chain of works from Ismail to the sea, which is exceedingly strong, and will no doubt be held with great pertinacity, as the chief defence of Bessarabia, and as assuring the possession of the river. Should the allied armies return vic torious from Sebastopol, they could not be better , employed than in the reduction of these fortresses, an operation which might commence with the early spring, and end successfully before the returning heats rendered the country unhealthy and the march of Russian enforcements an easy task. With the fall of Ismail and Akerman the military possession of Bessarabia might be easily secured. The people are said to be unfriendly to the Russian power, and though statements of this kind are not always to be relied upon, since the wish of the asserters is generally father to the thought, still it is probable that the allies would meet no determined resist ance after the evacuation of the province by the Russian armies. The Romanic popula tion cannot have been long enough under the Muscovite yoke to have forgotten their sympathies with their Moldo-Wallachian brethren. Indeed, the latter always assert that those of their race who fell under the power of Russia by the peace of Bucharest are anxious to be re-annexed to the principal stock, and their plans for a future unity always embrace these as well as the kindred in habitants of Transylvania and the Bukowina. The strong positions which this province affords will give an easily defended base for the future operations, and the liberation of the Danube will allow the Austrians to unite their forces to the allies without the necessity of painful marches through a territory where the soil is deep and muddy, and where the roads, often merely a track worn by the passage of horses, serve rather to in dicate the direction than to ease the journey. THE PR IN C IPALITIES. THE RETREAT OF THE RUSSIANS. JAssY, SEPT. 16.—The Vienna Lloyd says the retreating Russians are breaking down behind them all the bridges they throw across the Pruth, and have fortified all the points on the other side of that river where they think an attack from their enemies is not impossible. These bridges built by themselves have bean, therefore, so built for their own retreat ; and we have, therefore, not had to erect golden bridges for effecting the same end. Our poor country has suffered much from, them. The utterly impoverished districts of Vilenie, Epureni, Luncesti, Bolen, Fultsty, Paschkane, Lassa, Lipovetz, Vintec, Golochei, Korni, Do maska, Tomoscheni, Brasute, and many more, are mournful witnesses of the Muscovite occupation. These districts, which I have just named to you, were among the wealthiest, especially in their live stock, of our principality, arid now, through the incessant requisitions and robberies of the Cossacks they have been literally reduced to beggary. Later reports of the 18th from Jassy supply us with some details respecting the departure, already announced, of Prince Gortschakoff. Every ceremony connected with leave of absence wasforbidden. The Prince crossed the frontier in his carriage at eight iu the morning. In spite of the order to the contrary, some boyards did assemble through politeness in his apartments and accompanied him to his carriage. As soon as the Prince had taken his seat in it a young boyard, in very ambiguous language, re minded the Prince that he had, in Krajova and in Bucharest, promised the speedy return of the Rus sians, but had not given the same promise in Jassy, probably through forgetfulness. The Prince did not vouchsafe a word in reply, and started in towering wrath without any parting salutation. At Bender there was not a single Russian soldier on the 18th inst. The Moldavian militia is being reorganised. RUSSIA. A letter from Kalisch of the 21st, in the Austrian Lloyd, says :—" The second division of the guard, under the command of Lieutenant-General Ofrosi naoff, has left St. Petersburg, and it is confidently stated is proceeding towards the kingdom of Poland. If this news be confirmed, Russia evidently intends to undertake with the troops of Poland a winter campaign:" We - read in the Milan Official Gazette of the 221 :—" Russia has returned within her limits • the statu quo ante ellum is materially re-ectal;• fished ; but that statu quo was a precarious state for the peace of Europe in consequence of the nature of the relations which then existed between Turkey and Russia. To modify these relations conformably to the conditions of a sure peace is the question in which France, England, and Austria and Germany with her, are interested, and pledge themselves to solve. Such will be the object of the negotiations when the moment for them shall arrive. But, be fore negotiating, it is necessary to establish a legal basis on which all the powers interested shall agree. This basis has been laid down by the Western Powers in the four preliminary points which Austria has admitted and supported, but which Russia has rejected. Austria has admitted and supported them because she considers them as indispensable to secure the peace of Europe, and as being at the same time specially favourable to the interests of Germany. Russia has rejected them, and it is for that reason that the Western • Powers engaged against her push their warlike operations to ex tremities. We shall see in what they will end, but under no circumstances can it be believed that they will draw back or deviate." PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Sept. 25.—The National contains an analysis of the circular addressed on the 14th or 15th by the Austrian Cabinet to its envoys at all German Governments, except the two Mecklen burgs, who, it will be remembered, declined to be come parties to the April treaty, and are thence excluded from all participatio n i n th e ques ti on. A telegraphic despatch reached Baron von Man teuffel this morning, from St. Petersburg, stating that intelligence of the successful' landing of the allies had reached the Emperor,' and that Prince Menschikoff announces that he was advancing with all his disposable force to take up a position upon the Alma river, which intersects the high road from Bakshi Serai to Simpheropol, and discharges itself into the sea a little north of Cape Loakoul. It is there, he aids, that he shall dispute the advance of the allies, and it is thence we must trust, with God's aid, to hear of our first great success. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Sept. 24.—Telegraphic intelligence from the Crimea must reach here to-morrow or the next day. To-day the news is so scanty and so unim portant that it is hardly worth sending. The in telligence of the successful lauding of the expedi tion at Eupatoria on the 14th was received at Varna on the following day, and caused much surprise and rejoicing. There was a rumour yesterday on 'Chanze that the Russians had suffered a defeat fr)rn the landing troops, but there is no truth in it ; on the con trary, it is certain that the Russians retreated from the coast by forced marches on Simpheropol. It is confidently reported that they will maintain a posi tion on the heights from St. Crimea to Sebastopol, the left wing between St. Crimea andKarrasu Bazar. The Fremden Bladtt says that, according to au thentic intelligence, Prince Menschikoff was in formed that the intended lauding would take place at Eupatoria, and that on the 13th more than a hundred vessels of the armada were sig nalled on the heights of Eupatoria. Hence it would appear that it formed a part of the plan of operations of the Russians not to oppose the land ing, but to await the attack in a favourable position. FRANCE. A letter from Boulogne gives the following ac count of the reception of the Empress at Boulogne : —" The Sub-Prefect, the Mayor, and the other chief functionaries of the place were waiting at the terminus to pay their respects to her Majesty ; and a little before five, the Emperor arrived on horseback, accompanied by General Rolin and Colonel Fleury, and followed by a detachment of the Cent Gargles. In a few minutes atter, a salvo of artillery announced the approach of the train. The Empress, on alighting from the railway carriage, was received by his Majesty, who conducted her to a carriage in waiting, and then mounting his horse oeva....ftteoretiNi . e., , rode by its side to the Hotel Brighten. 60 1 "i' earrieees followed with the ladies of honour of her Majesty, and other members of the Impe rial household, A deputation of the wives and daughters of the fishermen of Boulogne in their holiday attire came ,to the hotel a few minutes after her Majesty's arrival to - present bouquets. The Empress also received a, deputation of the fishermen of the port. Both deputations were most graciously received, and retired amidst cheers of " Vive l'Empereur I' " ViVe l'lmperatrice On the following day their Majesties visited the camp at Honvault, and returned to Boulogne a t five o'clock." The Aloniteur publishes the official return of the Customs duties for last mouth.
