JOHN . A. HIGHAM, Actuary and Secretary. ( Prom the Journal de St. Petersburg.) ST. PETERSBURG, 00T. 12. REVIEW OP THE MILITARY OPERATIONS IN THE CRIMEA DURING THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER. The journal of military operations in the Crimea, which has just been received from Aide-de-Camp-General Prince Menschikoff, contains the following account of the operations which have takeu place from the Ist (13th) of September to the let (13th) of October : "On the let (13th) of September, on the first intelli gence of the appearance of a numerous hostile fleet in sight of Cape . of Loukoul, Aide-de-Camp Prince Men schikoff made preparations to concentrate the troops under his command on the Alma. While these troops advanced from different points of the Peninsula towards the chosen position a considerable number of the enemy's force, consisting of English, F renc h, an d T ur ki s h t ro ops, made their descent on the 2d (14th) near the salt lakes to the south .of Eupatoria, where, after they had pitched their camp, they remained without movement fur several days. "On the 7th (19th) the enemy began to reconnoitre in the direction of the Alma. The second brigade of 6th division of light cavalry and nine sotnias of Cossacks; with a battery of horse artillery of the Don, were sent out to oppose them. After a slight skirmish the enemy retired to the river Bouinak, and an advanced guard re tired to take their post in the general position behind the Alma. " On the following flay, do,;Bth (20d) of September, the enemy attacked this position with all their force. 'After an obstinate contest our troops were forced to yield to superior numbers, and retired beyond the river Katcha. The allies have suffered ponsiderable loss in the battle, and scarcely pursued them at all. " That we might give our troops time to get into order again, and more especially to complete their ammuni tion and stock of provisions, Prince Menschikoff on the 9th (21st) conducted them by the bridge of Inkermann to the south of Sebastopol, where he remained three days. During this time the enemy ad vanced upon the Katcha and the Belbeck. On the 11th (231) the advanced guard of Lieutenant-General Kiria koff, de patched towards the north, met a large force of the enemy, and consequently retired upon Inkermann. " On the 12th (24th) Prince Menschikoff, seeing that the enemy could establish a communication with the in terior of the empire, resolved to prevent a result so dis advantageous, and commenced the boldest and most skilful operation. Leaving at Sebastopol near eight battalions as a reserve, with the sailors of the fleet, he left the city at night with the greater part of his troops and all the artillery, crossed the Tchernaya, ascended the mountain near Mackenzie Farm, and, marching all night, arrived safely at the Bslbeck. On the 14th (26th), after a halt of 24 hours on the banks of this river, near the village of Otarkoi, leaving at this point the advanced guard of Major-General Jabobkriisky, Prince Menschikoff continued his movement, with the main body of his forces, as far as the Katcha, and encamped four versts before Bakshi-Serai. In this position he awaited the ar rival of provisions from Simpheropol, and the reinforce ments which came to him from both Perekop and Kertch, with General Khomoutoff. After their arrival Prince Menschikoff prepared to attack the enemy in flank and in rear before the northern forts. " But while the Russian troops were executing their movement from Sebastopol towards Bakshi Serai the enemy, also marching in flank, advanced from the north of the Bay of Sebastopol to the south. On the morning of the 13th (25th), the English advanced guard, having approached the Mackenzie Farm, suddenly came up un expectedly to the rear of the Russian baggage, and car ried off some gun-carriages, which had been left behind. Theallies continued their march by the high road towards Balaklava, and, supported by their fleet, occupied that little town, in spite of- the heroic resistance made by the weak detachment of the creek battalion of Balak lava to prevent them. Having thus gained a point d'appui, the enemy's forces established themselves between the River Tchernaya and Cape Chersonesus, began to fortify Balaklava, and to land their artillery and baggage from the fleet, and then opened their in trench merits before the fortificatioee , to the south of Sebastopol. " Having been informed of sae enemy's movement PrinceMenschikeff on the 16th (28th) arrived at Belbock, and on the following day established himself with his principal detachment between this river and the bay of Sebastopol, occupying the mountain-slope towards In kermann with the advanced guard of Major-General Jabobkritsky. A portion of the troops were brought back into Sebastopol to reinforce the garrison ; all mea. sures were taken for an obstinate defence of the place ; many old vessels were sunk at the entrance of the' port to close it against the enemy's fleet. "At this juncture, the reinforcements expected from Kertch and Perekop reached successively the active de tachment, and allowed the garrison of Sebastopol to be still further increased. The combined brigade of the reserve division of light cavalry under Lieutenant -Ge neral Ryjoff established itself on the Katcha, with the view of maintaining the communication between the de_ tachment and Simpheropol. Light detachments from this brigade were sent into the mountains towards the village of Tchorgeun, on the Tchernaya, and toward s the valley of Baidar. "On the 22d of September (4th of October) Major- General Krasnoff was sent towards Eupatoria to recon noitre with eight sotnias of the 61st and 67th Regiments of Don Cossacks, and ascertained that this town had been put into a stat e o f defenCe, that it was occupied by a garrison of T ur k s , Arabs, and 1 000 English and French, and th a t it was covered on , t h e s easide by a squadron. Duri ng t hi s excursion the Cossac k s c arried off the cattle th a t were on their way from th e neigh bouring village s o f E upatoria to provision the s hip s . "On another s id e t h ef i ying detachment of Ma j or -G en eral Timofeieff, consisting of two squadrons if regular cavalry, two sotnias of Cossacks, and two field-pieces, were sent into the village o f Beidar, in order to hinder the enemy from obtaining pro v i s i ons, especially cattle and forage . F rom this town the a lli es only sent small foraging to wards the T c h ernaya ; but they were soon prev ented from approachi ng th i s part also. parties " On the same day a portion of the French and Eng lish troops, who had arrived in 10 steamers, landed at Yaltt. After pillaging the city and the property in the neighbourhood, including Massandra and Livadia, the troops, on the 24th of September (6th of October), aban doned the places which they had laid waste, and returned to Balaklava. "In order to observe the enemy's position between Sebastopol and Balaklava, nearly the whole of our ca valry advanced towards the Tchernaya on the 25th of September (7th of October), under the command of Lieutenant -General Ryjoff. At daybreak the second brigade of the 6th division of light cavalry passed the Tchernaya, ascended the heights on the left bank, and after driving away the English advanced guard, returned without accident to the right bank of the stream. In this excursion the demi-squadron of Crimean Tartars of the Guard captured a picket of Dragoons of the English Guard. "Afterwards the greater part of the cavalry, under the command of Lieutenant-General Ryjoff, was brought back to its former position on the Katcha to facilitate the obtaining of provisions, and one of its regiments ob served the coast between the Katcha and the Alma. Moreover, small flying detachments were sent out al most every day to snake incursions in the enemies' rear towards the Tchernaya and the Valley of Baidar. "These operations, while they menaced the communi cations of the enemy with Balaklava, distracted their attention from the works begun against thefortifications of Sebastopol in the south. The j.ntrenehments open on two points —on the left by the French, and on the right by the English, but at a great distance from our fortifi cations—progressed but slowly. All that the enemy could raise in the night by means of fascines and sand bags that they had brought with them was destroyed in the morning by the well-directed fire from our rampart. The volunteers and the small detachments sent every night from the city harassed them a great deal in their intrenchments, and did them much damage. " On the 28th of September (10th of October) Major- General Jabobkritsky, chief of the advanced guard, per. ceiving that the enemy began to raise a battery above the descent of Inkermann, near the stone quarry, posted in the ruins of Inkermann some carbineers, whose well directed fire compelled the besiegers to retire. During the night and the following day the enemy tried several times to recommence their works, but were repulsed on every occasion by our carbineers and batteries. " From the 24th of September (6th of October) the troops of the reinforcement sent from Odessa and Bes sarabia into ,the Crimea, had begun to enter by Perekop. The reserve division of Lancers, directed from Perekop upon Eupatoria to observe the enemy's troops who oc• cupy that city, approached it on the 30th of September (12th of October). This advanced guard, received by throngs of Arab and Tartar horsemen, drove them back into the city after a trifling skirmish. Since then Eu patoria has been completely blockaded on the land side by our troops, and the enemy are cut off from all means of receiving provisions from the neighbouring Tartar villages." " OCTOBER 13. " DESCRIPTION OF THE MILITARY OPERATIONS IN THE CRIMEA FROM THE IST (13TH) TO THE 6TH (18TH) OP OCTOEHR. " On the Ist (13th) of October, for the purpose of menacing the communication of the enemy with Balak lava, the Aide-de-Camp-General Menschikoff made pre parations for the occupation, by a part of our infantry, of the village of Tchorgoun, situated in the valley of the Tchernaya. The detachment sent to this point was gradually reinforced on the 4th (16th) and sth (17th) by troop 3, which successively arrived, and was placed under the command of Major• General S4miskino, com mander of th' let brigade of the 12th division of in- fantry. "About the same time, on the 3d (15th), a portion of the cavalry advanced into the valley of Baydar, and this troop, by its patrols and flying i detachments, put itself into communication with the one that occupied Tchorgoun. Our advanced posts, disposed along the Tchernaya, had frequent skirmishes with the enemy, and hindered tliem from approaching the stream. "In the encampment of the enemy's principal force near Sebastopol it was remarked from the 2d (14th) that they reinforced their right wing, and opened new intrenchments against the tower of Malakohff. The fire of our artillery from the ramparts compelled him to re tard his siege operations ; but on the night of the 4th -sth (16th-17th) the enemy succeeded in piercing the em brasures in their intrenchments, and in placing there a large quantity of artillery. From the morning of the sth (17th) he opened along the whole of his line a fire against the fortifications of Sebastopol. "The details of the bombardment of Sebastopol dur ing the two days of the sth (17th) and 6th (18th) of Oc tober, are contained in the three following reports from Aide-de-Camp Prince Menechikoff to his Majesty the Emperor : REPORT OF AIDE•DE-CAMP PRINCE MENSCIIIKOFF OF THE 5 5 TH (17TH) OCTOBER. "In the nights of the 4th (16th) and sth (17th) the enemy pierced embrasures in their intrenchmerts, and at six o'clock this morning they opened a smart, inces sant fire against our batteries and bastions, which re sponded with double activity and equal success. "Towards noon the cannon placed on the tower of the kourgan (hillock) Malakohff was dismounted ; but the batteries erected on that side and all the bastions continued their fire with so much success that towards evening the English had only Owe pieces left to keep up their fire. The French batteries had been stopped long before through the explosion of their powder magazine. "On our side—as far as I can ascertain, before I re ceive detailed information from each battalion and bat tery—the kiss cannot ha"e been considerable, but it is so far lamentable that Aide-de-Camp General Korniloff having received a bullet in his leg soon fell a victim to this wound. "At half-past 12, while the cannonade still continued from the batteries in the entrenchments, the enemy's ships opened a violent and incessant fire from their broadsides against the batter No. 10, the battery Alex ander, and the battery Constantine, which answered with equal rapidity. As there was a perfect fog, and the heat was intense, the dense clouds of smoke so com pletely eveloped the sea that it was impossible to die. cern the damage that had been done, either to our batteries or to the enemy's ships, which seemed to have been fourteen in number at the beginning of the cannonade. '' The fire did not relax until nightfall. " Although I am not yet informed as to the result s of the bombardment, I cannot refrain from giving your Majesty a hasty account of all that has taken place this day. " During the bombardment I was at Sebastopol and have seen the army. I have communicated to it the gracious expressions of your Majesty's order (brought to me by Aide-de.Camp Albddinsky), adding tha4-after the bombardment, the army might have to defend Sebasto pol from a storm by close combat. " I hope that the army will prove worthy of your Ma jesty's expectations." REPORT OP AIDS•DE•CA3LP GENERAL PRINCE HENS CRIKOFF OF THE 6TH (MTH) OCTOBER. "The fire from the batteries and the enemy's ships, which did not cease yesterday from sunrise to night fall, and which was surprising from its mass and its violence, has not done so much mischief as might have been expected. "The battery Alexander, as well as• the battery No. 10, which were in the greatest danger, have suf fered but little. The damage to Fort Constantine has been great. " With respect to the bastions which opposed the bat teries of the enemy's entrenchments, the greater part of them are uninjured with the exception of the bastion No. 3, where nearly all the 33 pieces of cannon have been dismounted, and we have lost the greatest number of men. "Although I have not received the list with the names of the killed and wounded, it is a satisfaction to perceive that, according to the general information collected on the spot, our loss scarcely amounts to 500 disabled. " Among, The number of wounded are, Vice-Admi ral Nachimoff and Captain Yerganyscheff (naval), but the first very slightly. "As a new bombardment was expected to-day, the 6th (IStb), the whole night was passed at Sebastopol in repairing the damage, and all the dismantled pieces were replaced. As for the bastion No. 3, it has been re inforced by a battery raised upon its flank. " To-day, 6th (18th), all the enemy's fire has been directed against the town of the kourgan Malaphoff and the batteries raised on that side. The town has remained without any serious damage, and the batteries have answered the enemy's fire with success. "The fire of the English batteries, generally much less lively than yesterday, similarly diminished in the afternoon, probably because Major-General S6miakine by my order, advanced with his detachment from the village of Tchergoun to the heights of Balaklava, and by appearing behind the English encampment hart occa sioned some disturbance, so that the army was forced to form in haste and to march in the direction of Balaklava. By this show of a detached body the object of turning the enemy from the fortress was attained. During the 6th (18th) the French batteries scarcely fired at all upon Sebastopol. "The vessels which bombarded yesterday, and which it appears were entirely French, have retired this morn ing in the direction of the Chersonese lighthouse. " Yesterday, on account of the smoke, and to-day in consequence of the morning fog on the sea, it was im possible to discover what amount of damage the ships had suffered. It appears that a ship of the line had one spar broken, and that two others were set on fire by red hot shot, but this I cannot affirm with cer tainty." " SECOND REPORT OP AIDE-DE-CAMP PRINCE MENs- CHIKOFF OF THE 6TH (18TH) OF OCTOBER. "To complete my respectful report of this day, I feel bound to state to your Majesty, that the seamen, from the officers to the sailors, who have been exclu sively intrusted with the defence of the city in the bas. tions and batteries, have shown during the bombard• ment oe the sth (17th), the most exemplary and laudable firmness. "At the bastion No. 3 the service of the cannon was relieved three times ; nevertheless, the men did their duty gallantly, singing songs, and vieing with each other in zeal. " I cannot, in the present circumstances, omit to mention Vice-Admiral Nachimoff, who, by his activity and the wisdom of his measures, gave an impulse to those moral forces as well as to the material means, in order to repel firmly and successfully the attacks of the enemy." The first reduction of postage to Australia via South ampton and Singapore took place yesterday evening, the 3d inst. All letters for South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales, and Van Diemen's Land, sent by this mail, will be charged 6d, the half ounce only, in stead of is. as heretofore. Newspapers will go free. All letters, however, sent by the route of Marseilles, the mail for which is made up on the evening of the 9th inst., will be liable, in Addition to the above, to sd. for every quarter of an ounce, French postage, and newspapers to a charge of 2d. The postage must be paid in advance. The above regulation is not at present extended to West Australia or New Zealand. Yesterday evening a dinner was given at the High bury Barn Tavern to the band of the French 'Guides, by the band of the Grenadier Guards. Mr. Schott, the band-master of the Grenadier Guards, presided on the occasion. The room in which the dinner was held was decorated with the French, English, and Turkish flags, and other appropriate devices. About 160 persona at down to table.' • After the cloth had been removed, " M. Oar, sub-conductor of the band of the Guides, said : Gentlemen, allow me, in the name of my com rades, to thank you for the truly sympathetic recep tion we have received at London. The joY 'we' ex perienced in playing before the Queen will never be effaced from our memories, and we shall always think of our sojourn amongst you with happiness and pride. Let us then drink a toast to the protector of artistes. —to the Queen of England. Let us also drink a toast to the fraternisation and frendsbip which unites our English and French hearts. Hurrah for England and France 1 The toast was received with the greatest enthusiasm. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the toast of " The Em peror Napoleon III.," saying —Gentlemen, I beg of you to fill your glasses for a toast of the greatest importance ; it is to drink the health of the Emperor Napoleon. His charitable disposition has procured for us not only the immense success at the Cyrstal Palace on Saturday last, but it has also procured for us the pleasure of seeing you among us this evening. As the charity of the Emperor is one of his numerous virtues and the choicest ornament of his crown, we sincerely desire that Providence will allow bim to. Fear it to an advantage for the benefit of nations. ' This toast was equally well received, and the cries of " Vive l'Empereur !" were loud and long. The CHAIRMAN next proposed "The Empress of the French," and said :--The amiability of her character and her numerous acts of charity have made her in a short time the idol of the French nation, and by her striking. virtues she has not only earned the respect of the French nation, but of the whole civilised world. I am, therefore, proud to propose so illustrious a health, and I doubt not you will drink it with all the honours. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing " His Royal Highness Prince Albert and the Royal Family," said—Gentle men, I must inform you that Prince Albert is colonel of our regiment, the Grenadier Guards. He is a profound musician, and loves everything profound and classical in music ; and I am convinced you afforded him infinite pleasure by playing before him at Windsor. I request you then, gentlemen, to fill your glasses, and to empty them in his honour to the dregs. These toasts were each of them honoured in an equally enthusiastic manner with the former ones. " The Anglo-French Alliance and the Allied Armies in the East" was then given by the CHAIRMAN, who ob• served—The glorious alliance of these two nations is the most remarkable event of our history ; even if the result of this war leaves no other trace than that of the entente cordiale between tho two greatest nations of the world, so happy a result would suffice and be superior to the greatest victory. Gentlemen, I propose then as toast " The Success of th e Alli e d Armies in the Crimea." (Loud cheers, and cries of " France" and " Viva l'Angleterre.") As the concluding toast, the CHAIRMAN proposed " M. Mohr and the Imperial Band of the Guides." He said We are still under a great obligation to the Emperor, it is for having procured us the pleasure of your company here, and of the advantage of making your acquaintance, still more of hearing your per formance with such artistic execution and perfect ensemble; but, like the wheels of a watch, though when finished they are of the most exquisite perfection, a master hand is still requisite to put them together. Your performance and precision of execution demonstrates that the hands of a clever master, and of great experi ence, has to-day put a last touch to the work ; and it is to M. Mohr, the leader of leaders, that this remark able ensemble is due, and I can but congratulate you on having a man like him for your leader. I must not for get to express that all oar English leaders here present owe a debt of gratitude to M. Mohr, for the many works which his fertile pen has provided for them during a period of twenty years. This toast was likewise meet warmly received. The more serious part of the business being thus brought to a conclusion, a scene ensued which it is im possible to do justice to in words, but it must be fully understood that the whole proceedings were regulated by the greatest sobriety and decorum. The speeches having been concluded, " God save the Quoen" was loudly called for by the French guests, aid sung amidst the greatest enthusiasm by both French and Eng lish. " Partant pour la Syrie" was in its turn heartily demanded, and as heartily given amidst the most voci ferous cries of " Vive I'Empereur." After this the fun grew brisker, and the crowd of spectators, who had been waiting to join the ball which was to conclude the festi vities of the evening, here made their way into the rcibili; and entered moot heartily into the spirit of the thing. M. Vaucheux, of the Guides, then stepped forward and volunteered several sentimental and comic French songs, which it is needless to say were most rapturously ap plauded. Upon this Mr. Lawson, of the Grenadiers, inspired with a generous spirit of rivalry and patriotism, gave two or three Irish song, which were received with equal approbation. Several other songs were given, both in French and English, and " God Save the Queen" and " Partant pour la Syrie," having been again sung, a general move was made to the ball-room. It is almost superfluous to add that during the whole of the evening the most excellent feeling was displayed both by the French and English soldiers. The fact that very nearly half of them did not understand a word spoken by the other half did not in the least interrupt the harmony of the evening. A few watchwords fully answered all the purposes of fraternization, and there was no mistaking what was meant when a Guide offered his glass to hob-nob with the sentiment of " Vivo l'Angleterre," "La Reine Victoria," or " A bas les Cossaoques ;" or when a stalwart Grenadier held out his hand for a genuine English shake, and cried, with a most execrable accent, " Vive I'Empereur." Thee, and a few similar phrases, in fact, furnished the whole means of commnication between by far the greater portion of the parties present. A very excellent and substantial dinner was provided, and the French guests seemed much pleased with the entertainment. One and all of them were loud in their expressions of delight and satisfaction at the reception which they had met with in this country, and most de voutly hoped that when the Queen and Prince Albert visited France the hand of the Grenadier Guards at any rate would accompany her Majesty ; as for any doubt of such visit being paid very shortly, they would not hear of it. GOVERNMENT " SURVEYS" AT BENDIGO.—The Sydney Herald, after noticing that there are now no less than ten hotels at Bendigo, several of them of a first-rate character, says " The Criterion Hotel bears the palm. The building and outhouses cost 25,0001., and they have been valued by the Government surveyors at 18,0001. The land on which it is built (and, indeed, the land on which all the permanent buildings in Bendigo are erected) is to be sold. The pur chaser, if he be any other person than tie owner of the buildings, will have to pay the 18,0001., in addition to what the ground itself realises by auction. The same rule applies to the other hotels, valued from the sum of 12,000/. downwards. The line of conduct thus pursued by the Government is highly to be reprobated. The up set price of some of these allotments is laid down as high as 1,8001. per acre, the property (the land) hav ing been made valuable by those who have thus built upon it. The energy and public spirit of individuals are hereby taxed. The people form a township, and their marts and premises have, without the assistance and countenance of the Government, become of great value. The authorities then send surveyors, who map the surrounding district, and these men, then, in these places, draw imaginary lines of road, which are to form the permanent town, regardless of the havoc they make in property. Down must come all the buildings through which these roads pass ; and many who have laid the foundation of a good fortune, or who imagine they had done so, find their property scat tered to the winds. Now this laying out of these town ships could just as well, yea better, be done before the public build upon them, and the ruinous consequences referred to would be obviated. But the Government of this colony is too slow fdr the people, excepting in taxa tion.

LYME REGIS.—ROMAN ANTIQUITIES.—Our readers will probably remember our noticing. some three years since, a discovery of Roman remains, of a most' interest ing character, in a field at Uplyme in the immediate neighbourhood of this town, on a farm called " Hol combe," and which for a short time was open to public view at the trifling charge of 6d. each, but owing to some family litigation between the owners of the farm it was closed up. A part of it has, however, been re cently opened again, consisting of a beautiful tesselated pavement, together with a recen t additional discovery of a Roman bath in a most perfect state. The property in which this relic of antiquity is situate is about to be brought to the hammer, and it is to be hoped the pur chaser will cause a further exploration to be made as much more extensive discoveries are anticipated. The remains are situated on an eminence called the " Church yard," and are of the extent of 300 feet or more ' but, independent of the " bath," not above 20 feet are yet opened. ned Some think it the remains of a Roman rnili tfoarrymesrtlaytiooncc,uVelicliethotehesirtse. consider thataaßomnanvilriae e t x o te t n li s ; v :ill m a, o e a m p p b e zt a i i; k s In to e n te t r h o e b a r b e l m y a a i n s defenceof an or f n d s , u ch it was.

The Madrid brings 33 passengers, among whom is the Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon, and on freight 63 packages of specie, value 2 9,396/. sterling, 1 1 7" casks of wine, SO half-chests of orang es, 166 half chests of lemons, 316 serons of almons, 182 boxes of eggs, and a small cargo of fruit, 4,-c. On the 21st ult. this steamer passed her Ma jesty's ship Salamander, off Lisbon ; and on the 29th the steam-ship Imperador, from Liverpo o l, bound to the Brazils, entering the Tagus. Letters from Oporto quote wine freights to Lon don 30s. Exchange on London, at 90 days', 55 to 554 with more paper money offering. There were very few British vessels in the Douro. The Oporto, for Dublin ; Argo, for Hull ; Alarm, for Bristol ; and the Lusitania, for London, sailed on the 28th. The screw steamer Union, of Southampton, put intosLisbin on the 28th ult., with loss of fore and mainmasts. The Madrid brings Lisbon dates of the 29th ult. The Lisbon exchanges, at three months, are quoted this mail at 54i on London ; Paris, 524 ; Amster dam, 43 1-3 ; Hamburg, 481 ; and Genoa, 522.

A Lisbon letter adds—" The first railway car riages were to have run to-day upon the line be tween Sacavem and Villafrauca, with the King Regent, it being his Majesty's birthday ; but the Union steamer, in which they were shipped, had a passage of eight days, and on]y reached the Tagus yesterday. It was found impossible to land the carriages in time to open the line to-day, but it appears the Minister of Public Works is going to Sacavem to-day (Sunday), in order to see the need ful preparations made for the Royal trip to-mor row. Nothing has yet transpired here as to the chance of Count Lucotte's maturing his plans in London for carrying out the contracted line of railroad to Cintra, with piers and docks upon the banks of the Tagus between Lisbon and Bilem ; the other small line from Aldea Canoga to Vendee Novas is said to have attracted no less than five different projected companies to compete for its adjudication, and I have no doubt it will, at all events, be carried out. Report speaks very favourably of the coal and iron discovered between Alcobaca and Leiria. The right of working mines in the best part of that district will belong to Mr. George Croft, who has for some time had scientific men making excava tions, and their reports are now nearly complete, when it is supposed a company will be formed upon a large scale. _ _ The Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon goes passenger to Southampton by the Madrid, on his way to Rome, to take part in theconclave called---by the Pope for the purpose of establishing,_as 4d L ogma of it oniaiViithrollah, the imtriciiiati-ocmoeptiot of the 'Virgin Mary. The Cardinal is a very learned man, is president of the House of Peers, and this is his first visit to Rome, where he is ex pected to be absent until the end of the year. The court-martial upon Viscount Pinheiro, ex- Governor of Angola, after having been so re peatedly put off as to prevent the public from con tinuing to attend, was hurried to a close on Friday last, when a long sentence of " acquittal" was de livered. It has created some surprise that such sentence should have been affirmed by the unani mity of the Court, there being no doubt the Vis count had allowed a large subscription to be col lected by the authorities in the province he was at the time governing ; that he accepted the money is equally clear; and people do not think his defence could justify acquittal—being merely a plea that he had employed the money in purchasing and freeing a certain number of slaves, in clothing others, in promoting the endowment of an asylum for orphans, and that the balance was being em ployed in 300 iron bedsteads, to be sent out to Angola for the use of the asylum.

ROBBERIES BY A RAILWAY PORTER AT BRISTOL. James Nash, a confidential porter employed in the secretary'e and transfer offices of the Bristol and Exeter Railway Company, was yesterday brought before th e sitting magistrates upon a charge of having stolen sundry sums of money, the property of the company, from the cash-box in the transfer office. from which ut cash a bvoex , been b stolen It appeared that Mr. Hutchings, the chief clerk in that office, had found difficulty in making hi s cash ac count balance, in c onse q uence of which he w as induc e d missedon tloee7mwihniechhis s it subsequently to his leaving the office on th e S a turday. He immediate l y communicated wha t previous trans pired to the other clerks in the office, and they had conc erted a plan for the detecti on ' ( f betwee n th e m m arked 51. 16s. sd. in gold, silver,) the copper thief. H av i n g they placed that amount i n the and money, the box having been put into cash box. Th e k e y o f a they deposited the box in t packet, an d sea l e d u p, usually kept. Raving the drawer in w hi c h i t wa s the key, and pl ace d it locked the d rawer, t h ey remove d them both, and took ain another d rawer, t h ey locked y the opening a n d examining the wa cash key of the latter. On they discov ere d th at it box the next morning of the marked t only contained 41. 16s. 5d., one termined upon sovereigns having been stolen. They de an(' they discovering this, to make a second trial , placed in the box three more sovereigns , making i n a ll 71. 16s. sd. In the evening they again locked away the cash box, taking the same precautions ' in refe rence to the keys as before. On Wednesday the cash box was again examined, and nothing b • • being missed, it was again locked up, and re deposited in the usual place. The next time it was opened it was found that a sovereign, half sovereign, and half crown, and six shillings had been removed. Suspicion immediately fell upon the prisoner, who was charged with the theft by the secretary, Mr. Bad ham ; upon his denying the charge he was given into the custody of the superintendent of the corepanys police, Mr. Blackmore. Upon his being searched four of the marked shills ng. were found, with some other silv er in his pocket, and in a lumber room, the keys of which were found upon him, were discovered some keys which fitted the drawer and the cash box, and by the aid of which the robbery bid ) doubtless been committed. The prisoner was full y committed to take his trial • upon two distinct charges of felony. Now Ready, Crown Bvo., price 10s. Gd., SUNSHINE AND GLOOM: A Tale of Modern Life, founded on fact.
