An intimation has been thrown out by an in fluential contemporary that all further search after Sir JOHN FRANKLIN is to be abandoned. It were a cruelty, however, yet awhile to relax the exertions hitherto made in quest of the miss ing Expedition. Futile, unhappily, those exer tions have been heretofore, it is true : neverthe less, until something definite has been learnt as to the fate of the lost navigators, it were a heinous inhumanity for the British Government to aban don all further effort in the undertaking as hope less. It should be remembered that no particle of authentic information has yet been obtained as to the precise whereabouts of the heroic seamen despatched so many years ago to explore the arctic regions with a vie w t o t h e di scovery of a North-West Passage. Something at least like a g li m mering of intelligence ought to be att a i ne d as to the situation of Sir j oirN FRANKLIN and his companions before we contentedly fold our arms with a sense of having done all in our power towards their recovery. The Peri o d w hi ch has elapsed since their d e p arture has bee n no doubt deplorably protracted, leavin g hut small probability of our ever carrying theta aid in time sufficient to save even a small proportion of their number from destruction. Yet, assuredly, it i s the solemn and easily appreciable duty of the State to adopt every rational effort that might lead us at length to the discovery of the adven turers. Afford England intelligence, at the very least, that the whitened bones of her gallant sailors have been found in those unfrequented solitudes, and then, if they list, let the authori ties of the Admiralty decide upon striking the name of Sir JOHN FRANKLIN off the books of the Navy, and upon relieving their minds from any further anxiety as to the lot of his ill-fated Expedition. Absolutely nothing, however, being yet known as to the course taken by Sir JOHN FRANKLIN and his companions since the period of their un lucky departure, we are, nevertheless, at this mo ment, cooly informed that " there is an end to the further prosecution of such plans as those - which were carried out mainly at the instigation of the late Sir JOHN BARROW"—meaning those plans 'val • iterat e d et' were crowned, after six years of re enterprise, by the proceedings carried out by S ir EDWARD BELCHER, and followed up by the d aring ventures of Captain M'CLuRK a nd Captain CoraarrsoN. It is incredible. It i s, we re p ea t, literally incredible—with state ments lying before us, such as will be found given elsewhere in Our impression of this evening, in the course of the animated contro tain BEECIIty Alt T versy, in which Cap an, Jur. PETER MANN have participat ed. It i s remarkable, more over, that the notion o f this aba ndonment of the search after Sir JOHN FR ANKLIN sho uld be enter tained, when it is notorious that oneimportant portion of the arctic regions remains, up to thi s time, virgin of all relief explorations. It is erro neously asserted in the Times that "the Polar Seas have been ransacked in every possible direc tion which the ingenuity of the most practised arctic navigator could suggest, or the courage and skill of our choicest sailors could attain." It Is) W e say, erroneously thus asserted by our con tempo rary. For what shall be said of the region lying in the course which Sir JOHN FRANKLIN was or dered to take, the region lying between the meridians of Behring's Strait and Wellington THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 14, 1853. Channel, a region, up to this instant UNEXPLORED ? Yet, knowing this, knowing that the missing ex pedition was ordered to take that course, knowing that that course has never yet been adequately examined, knowing tftat Lady FRANKLIN has no further funds for fit ting out an expedition in search of her heroic husband, knowing all this, the Admiralty is said to have resolved upon abandoning any additional effort to discover the situation or destiny of the lost arctic navigators ! We cannot credit the accuracy of the statement put forward by our con temporary. We cannot credit that the honour of this country, that its fair fame for humanity and for chivalrous sympathy for the brave unfortunate, can be thus wilfully, and shamelessly, and flagi tiously tarnished. It were but a sorry sequel to the generous act of enthusiasm which has recently prompted England to do honour to the memory of Lieutenant BELLOT. It were a base and cruel neglect of all the duties and impulses of magnani mity. Wherefore, we shall still confidently await from the Board of Admiralty a formal, and offi cial, and explicit contradiction of a statement discreditable to themselves, each of them indivi dually, and injurious at the same time to the collective reputation of the British Government. The charge of Baron ALDERSON to the Grand Jury at the opening of the Liverpool Winter Assizes has naturally attracted considerable at tention. The learned Judge, in the performance of his important duties, deemed it necessary to advert to the causes that crowded the dock and enlarged the calendar. In executing this task it was impossible that the unfortunate differences prevailing between the masters and the workmen in the manufacturing districts could be overlooked, and equally impossible that the eminent Jurist could avoid speaking in terms of grave censure of the ill-judged and calamitous course pursued by the unfortunate dupes in obedience to the dictates of their mischievous advisers. What conscien tious and intelligent person called on to give ex pression to his views could act differently ? Who could refrain from denouncing the " strikes" and the conduct cf those who have involved the misguided operatives in such deplorable results ? The learned Judge justly ascribed the existence of these serious evils to the " want of experience," and the " want of education" on the part of the working people. Had they known the miseries and privations that must necDssarily be endured during the continuance of the internecine conflict —had they the slightest idea of the sufferings that would result, not merely to themselves, but to their helpless wives and innocent children, they would never allow themselves to be entrapped. The COWELLS, and SMITHS, and SWINGLEHURSTS, and GRrMsHAWS might rave and rant by the hour, without inducing a single person who had once been involved in the heartrending consequences of a protracted strike again to get into the scrape. A nation engaged in a serious war generally contrives when peace has been restored to avoid any renewal of hostilities until the springing up of a new generation. So it is with the working classes. Those who have taken part in any one of the periodical onslaughts against capital will not a second time commit so grievous an error, or imperil the interests of labour in so unequal and so fruitless a contest. But with fresh hands, un taught by bitter experience, it is different. They are easily seduced from their allegiance to their employers, and, panting for a change of any kind; are readily persuaded to put forward demands which cannot possibly be conceded, and the neces sary rejection whereof precipitates a crisis. By these juveniles the possession of a brief holiday is regarded as a sufficient recompence for a fearful amount of misery ; they are willing to discount their future happiness on the most usurious terms. There is no price which they are not prepared to pay for present enjoyment, and even when their attenu ated cheeks and cadaverous aspects afford lament able evidence of the extremities to which they have been reduced, they are still willing to declare that " they are not tired of playing yet," although, GOD help them, their sport is largely mingled with suffering, not to themselves only, but to others, who possess stronger claims on public sympathy. In alluding to this matter, Baron ALDERSON said—" It is lamentable that it should be so; and one cannot help thinking that it is from the want of experience that this matter arises ; for, from the shortness of life in the manufacturing districts, the people employed there are generally very young. The proportion of the experienced to the inexperienced, then, is very small, and it has been my unfortunate fate, in the course of my official life, to come here and try in succession persons of this description for the same sort of offence. Every eight, nine, or ten years a new generation arises ; they have not the experience or the suf ferings of their predecessors, and by their num bers they overbear the more experienced, and thus the thing arises from time to time." Here, then, is a fact put forward on high authority, which we fear cannot be controverted. We believe that new generations spring up more rapidly in the manufacturing than in the rural districts, and that consequently former sufferings and the lessons of bitter experience are more speedily forgotten. But whence does this arise—to what causes may the unfortunate circumstance be traced, and who aro the parties responsible for such a result ? In the first place, then, it arises from the early and improvident marriages, or less excusable con nexions springing up between the youth of dif ferent sexes, who are necessarily brought into dangerous proximity, if not during hours of labour, at least when relieved from their daily tasks. The lessons of prudence, and too often of morality, are disregarded by those, who, in the heyday of youth and passion, sacrifice everything fo r the momentary gratification, and too late learn th e full extent of the folly of wh i ch they have utablbeeetno Thiletyinflußenucteis of th th is e evil mas fairly attri butable it. They are far from encouraging these early nuptial 4 ; but it would be an unwarrantable interference with the liberty of the people, which would justly be resented, if they attempted to exercise a surveillance over those who are in their employment out of hours, or during the times allotted to rest and recreation. These early mar riages do not proceed from the lowness of wages so loudly complained of. On the contrary, it is because the wages are so much higher, perhaps, on an average double those which agricultural labourers can look forward to, that the 'parties are so ready to enter into new engagements, an d un dertake fresh and unlimited liabilities. Thus from the earlier formation of these connexions new generations arise more rapidly, and that without in any degree being ascribable to th e " shorter duration of life; in the manufacturing districts." But we also fear that mortality is more rapid, that the parties die off sooner than those engaged in open-air pursuits, under a purer atmosphere. But, again, we ask is that ascribable to the masters ? Do we not find it in a greater or less degree in every thickly inhabited locality, where the parties are engaged in sedentary pursuits, and where their longer evenings permit them to indulge in pernicious luxuries ? It is not the time occupied in labour that creates the additional mortality. It is not, generally speaking, the nature of the occupation that sends men to early graves. It is not to the " Factory System" that the numerous deaths are attributable so much as to the mode of spending their leisure hours, to defective accommodation and over-crowded dwellings—but, above all, to frequenting public-houses and chemists' shops, to girt drinking or opium eating, to which too many of the work I Peep e are addicted. If we inquire into the consumption o f l au d anum an d ot h er d e l e t er i ous drugs in the manufacturing districts, we may ob tain some insight into one of the most fearful causes of the rapid springing up of new genera tions, and the brief duration of existence in those localities. But this is surely not the fault of the masters, but of the workpeople themselves. This could not be remedied by the success of the turn outs; or the =demand of every and . .which I they have put forward. By all means let the most stringent investigation take place into the causes thereof ; but let us not be betrayed by prejudice into ascribing the evil to the conduct of the masters, or thinking that any adequate remedy can be provided save by the improved education, and, as a consequence thereof, the improved con duct, of the operatives themselves. THE MALACCA STRAITS SETTLEMENTS. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) In another part of our impression will be found a very interesting account of the Straits Settle ments. The writer tells his plain, unvarnished tale of the past and present of these valuable pos sessions, with some most important hints as to the future management. At a time when so many other topics are occupying the home Government as well as the East India Company, it is not to be expected that any notice will be taken by either body unless their attention is most urgently called to rescue these settlements from their present un satisfactory state, and place them in that position their importance demands. In the rapid progress of events, however, it will soon be found that un less we secure to these settlements a higher recog nition as available, not only commercially, but as possessing in themselves an intrinsic value from their locality alone, the day will come when such 1 carelessness of interests will bring its own punish ment. The prospect of throwing open the vast Chinese continent to European enterprise ; the emancipa tion of the whole Indian Archipelago from the commercial bigotry of a by-gone age ; and the open ing up new sources of commerce ; in making the Malacca Straits of higher value as colonies than at any future period. The first founders contemplated large commercial results alone, which have been amply realised ; but in the changes about to take place they assume a far more important range of interest, as commanding the highway to all the commerce of the East. It has been shown, in the letter we allude to, that when the Company's exclusive right of trading with China was annulled, every settlement to the eastward ceased to be of importance to the Com pany. They are now simply a burthen upon their resources, without any corresponding return, and hence have been reduced to the condition of mere excresences upon one or other of the Indian Presi dencies. But in the future commercial relations with the farther East they ought to take their stand as places of great national importance, com manding as they do not only the commerce but the very passage to those seas. What Gibraltar and Malta are to us in the Mediterranean, these settle ments ought to be in the Indian Archipelago. The question, therefore, is no longer one for the Com pany to deal with, whose interest in them has ceased with the curtailment of its own exclusive privileges, but one to which it is necessary that the attention of the home Government should be attracted, in order to rescue them from their pre sent inanimate condition, and fix them at once as independent and valuable stations, and of that na tional importance as to be maintained and governed from the mother country. The general impression as to these settlements seems to be that they are somewhere in the east, under the Indian Government, and are composed of Hindoos and Malays, mixed up in some hetero geneous mass. But the real fact is, that they are essentially English colonies, and have not only separate and distinct, but really irreconciliable, interests with those of India. And yet they are attached to the presidencies, like itself, parasites. The consequence has been, that their government has been left to the tender mercies of some mere interlopers from the Indian services, who come there without a knowledge of the duties required of them, remain only as long as they are obliged to serve, and return to their own presidencies, in order to secure situations of higher pecuniary value than are to be found in any of the Straits Settle ments ; the salaries of which, even now, are on a reduced scale, and in future appointments these are to be still farther reduced ; so that none but Griffins in the regular services would accept such citations, for the duties of which, from their utter inexperience, they are altogether unfitted. Taking all these circumstances into considera tion, it is obviously not only the duty, but the in terest, of the Home Government to take the mat ter into serious consideration. To leave the command of the highway to the East in the hands of those to whom it is not only valueless, but alto gether a burthen, would be impolitic in the highest degree. National interests require them to bo placed under the Colonial Government over this country. A continued line of settlements from Penang to Hong Kong (it is to be regretted that Labuan should have been sacrificed, and its go vernor made a victim to ceaseless persecution), would render the power of England felt through out the East, just as Gibraltar and Malta are in the Mediterranean. Penang, moreover, has every requisite as a valuable Maritime station. Singa pore commands the commerce of the islands, and are all of sufficient importance to be elevated into the rank of imperial colonies. So far from allowing the Tyros from Bengal and Madras to try their " prentice hands" in go verning such places, it would be far better to or ganise a service far the Straits themselves. There are already many valuable servants, whose expe rience would warrant their being employed in the higher departments, but these lie under ban—they are uncovenanted ; the line of demarcation is drawn, and they are condemned to linger on in subordinate positions, while importations of juniors from the Indian services fill the higher offices, the real duties of which, after all, even now remain to be performed by the uncovenanted. Let the Colonial Government at home look to these matters. In any new arrangements with the East India Com pany, let these most valuable posts be rescued from the abyss they seem likely to fall into, and che rished until they obtain all the importance their position alone will soon enable them to secure. LATEST FOREIGN NEWS. RUSSIA AND TURKEY. ANTICIPATED ENTRANCE OF THE COM BINED FLEETS INTO THE BLACK SEA. Advices fiom Constantinople, of the 3d, vice Vienna, confirm the news of the disaster at Sinope. Intelligence of the naval defeat of the Turks at that place had just reached the Porte, and had created great excitement and indignation in Con stantinoplo. Upon receipt of the information, the British and French Ambassadors immediately despatched two steam-frigates from the combined squadrons to Sinope, and two other steam-frigates to Varna, for the purpose of procuring precise intelligence. The English and French Ambassadors were de liberating upon sending the combined fleets into the Blaok Sea. Vice-Admiral Nakhimoff, who destroyed the Turkish frigates at Sinope, commands the sth di vision of the whole Russian fleet, which is one of the two divisions in the Black sea. Advices from Bucharest, of the 10th, give what is called an authentic account of the affair at Si nope. They state that the Russian squadron con sisted of four ships of 120 guns, and four of 86 guns, commanded by Admiral Nachimow. Admi ral Corniloff arrived afterwards in the steamer Adrian. Three Turkish ships were dunk ; the re mainder were burnt, as it was impossible to secure the prizes. The Russian ships were greatly da maged, and required many repairs to enable them to reach Sebastopol. 400 Turkish guns were sunk. Another despatch says a Grand Divan was held, on receipt of the news from Sinope, at which all the foreign Ministers were present. The English and French Ambassadors were urged to despatch the combined fleets into the Black Sea, but they had an audience of the Sultan, at which it was re solved not to send the whole fleets at once, but four frigates, to obtain more precise information. There was, however, no doubt that the whole fleets would shortly enter the Black Sea. The carnage at Sinope is described as immense. WAR DECLARED BY PERSIA AGAINST TURKEY. Persia, it was said, had declared war against Turkey, and the Persians were reported to be marching on Arabstan. The British Charge d'Affaires at Teheran had in consequence suspended his diplomatic relations with the Persian Government. This movement on the part of the Schah of Persia had for some time been apprehended, as his relations with Turkey were such as to induce him to take advantage of the increasing difficulties which encompass the Ottoman Empire. It was believed that Persia had declared war against Turkey at the instigation of Russia, and that a combined Russian and Persian force would march on Erzeroum. The intelligence, however, still requires positive confirmation. SUCCESS OF THE TURKS BY LAND.? The Vienna Lloyd of yesterday publishes the following : " Advices from Constantinople, of the Ist De cember, state that the Russian fortress of Safa, near Chekvetil, has been taken by the Turks ; 400 Russians were killed, 200 escaped. "On the 17th of November 1,200 Russians landed on the same coast, but Selim Pacha forced them to return to their ships. In this engagement the Russians lost 400 killed and one cannon. " The Turks have advanced to Alexandrianople, in Georgia. Their attack upon that fortress was repulsed, but they have blockaded the citadel of Akhaltchick (or Akista). Its fall was daily ex pected." The Ost-Deutsche Post says : " Schamyl and Solim Pacha have taken various fortresses; and they surround Prince Woronzoff on all sides in the vicinity of Tiflis. " Near Fort St. Nicholas (Chekvetil) the Rus sians were repulsed in an attempt to land 18,000 men. Their retreat was attended with a heavy loss. The Russian army was cut off from a retreat to Russia. The Mussulman population of Georgia had risen in arms for Turkey. " Goumri, Redu-Kaleh, and Kislar were in the hands of the Turks." The Journal de Constantinople says " Schamyl attacked the fortress of Zahkatala. It capitulated after thirty-six hours' hard fighting. The loss on both sides was heavy. Kahetty also surrendered after several days' fighting. Schamyl has taken Djeln and three other Russian fortresses, and report says that he has also defeated 15,000 Russians under General Orlianoff." On the Bth 4,000 men of Osten-Sacken's corps arrived at Jassy. A division of the same corps had been sent to Redout Kaleh, in Asia. A cordon, was to be formed along the line of the Dniester. Ever since the collective note was despatched to Constantinople the conferences of the Ambassadors hare been long and frequent. This very day M. de Bourqueney had an interview with Baron Meyendorff. According to the last news from Trebisond, three or four Turkish frigates have succeeded in landing arms, ammunition, and stores on the coast of Circassia, not far from Gelendjick. The arms and other articles so landed were immediately taken off by the Circassians. The Tschau tribe, on the frontier of Persia, which was always in a state of rebellion, has offered troops to the Porte against Russia. From Damascus, it is stated, that Mohammed- Effendi, head of a convent, has collected at Destan and Irak, a corps of 12,000 volunteers, to be at the disposal of the Porte, without any expense being incurred by the Turkish treasury. A letter from Jassy of the 3d says Lieutenant- General de Budberg arrived there on the 30th ult. as Commissioner Extraordinary and Plenipoten tiary of the Czar. The authorities went as far as Khulemi to meet him. He was accompanied by 50 officers of the Imperial Guard, who wish to take part in the war against the Turks. After a short stay at Jassy, the General was to proceed to Bucha rest. _ _ According to accounts from Bosnia, received at Vienna on the 9th, some agitation was for a few days perceptible amongst the inhabitants. The Bosnians now demand with energy that the Turks should pay the taxes, seeing that the Rajahs have borne the burden of them for a length of time unassisted. The appeal made to volunteers has not produced great enthusiasm, The Government has decreed a levy en, masse, and it is said that the troops so raised, to the number of 15,000, are to take up a position on the frontier of Ser via. The Austrian Ministers of Finance, War, Foreign Affairs, and Commerce have interdicted the expor tation of arms and ammunition to Bosnia. Constantin Rutkowitza, formerly aide-camp to Prince Stirbey, was taken prisoner to Russia on the 25th of Nov., for having kept up a correspond ence with Omer Pacha. The Press of Vienna states that a conflict has taken place at Braila between the Russian troops and the Wallachians—a Wallachian battalion hav ing refused to obey a Russian General. The affair, however, it adds, was subsequently arranged, but four companies were sent to another place. The Wanderer of Vienna of the 9th says :—" By order of the Emperor of Russia, General-in-Chief Prince Gortzchakoff has declared the ports of Galatz and Braila neutral for exportation and importation. The Turks are still at Kalafat, and. the Russians at Krajowa. The Russians have never had a camp near Krajowa." Private letters from Erzeroum, of the 26th No vember, announce the breaking out of au insurrec tion in the district of Nakchivan, a dependence of the province of Erivan in Russian Armenia. This country is almost entirely inhabited by Armenians and Mussulmans, who ever endured the Russian yoke with difficulty, and who are exposed to various vexatious regulations. It is said that the Governor of Erivan had endeavoured to force several young men belonging to the most influential families in the country to serve in his army. He moreover required an extraordinary tribute to be paid in provisions for his troops. Those measures caused the insurrection, which is likely to lead to impor tant consequences. The Journal de St. Petersbourg of the 4th gives the following account of the taking of the Egyptian steamer Pervas Bakhri by the steamer the Vladi- , mir " After having examined the coasts of Turkey in Europe, and not having found any vessels of the enemy, the Aide-de-Camp-General Vice-Admiral Korniloff pre pared with the steamer Vladimir to join the, squadron of Vice-Admiral Nakhituoff, which Wa3 cruising on the coasts of Anatolia. On her way, at day-dreak on the 12th November, the Vladimir, when within eight of the coast of Anatolia between the pert of Amastro and Cape Kdrempe, perceived the smoke of a steamer in the direc tion of Sebastopol, but at some distance. The Aide-de- Camp-General Vice-Admiral Korniloff gave orders to proceed towards the steamer, which was observed to change frequently her direction in order to avoid a meeting. At a quarter past nine o'clock, the Vladimir hoisted a signal, but it was not answered ; thereupon the Vladimir displayed the Russian flag and prepared for action. At half-past nine o'clock the Egyptian steamer cha nge d h er course , an d I. came straight on the Vladimir, displaying the Turkish flag, but in a short time she again changed her k direction. Shortly after the steamers approached each other. The Aide-de-Camp-General Vice-Admiral Korniloff ordered a ball to be fired across her bows. She replied by a broadside ; orders were thereupon given to commence a cannonade when fairly within reach. Shortly after the steamers were so near that the balls and shells of the enemy all fell beyond the Vladimir. Having recognised that the enemy had no stern chasers, so that in keeping behind his stern, it was easy to take him by enfilade, and so fore(' him to surrender the steamer, the Vladimir went in his track. The enemy luffed, and after having fitted a new broadside, changed his direc tion, and proceeded towards the coast. The combat lasted in this way three hours, and though it was easy for the steamer the Vladimir to destroy the crew and the hull of the enemy's steamer without exposing herself to any loss, for the balls and shells of the lltter continued to pass over her, the Aide-de-Camp-Gene al Vice-Admiral Korniloff resolved to put an end to the combat, and to approach within reach of grape shot. Several well di rected broadsides of the steamer Vladimir produced such ravages that the enemy's steamer was forced to yield. It was an Egyptian steamer of 220-horse power, armed with 10 guns. 134 of her crew were taken prisoners ; the captain, 2 officers, and 19 sailors were killed, and 18 were wounded. The loss on our side was in killed Lieu tenant Jeleznoff, aide-de-camp of the Vice-Admiral Aide de-Camp-General Korniloff, and a trumpeter ; in wounded one warrant officer and two sailors. It re quired nearly,four hours to put the captured steamer in a position to follow the Vladimir. The day after she was safely towed into Sebastopol. The Aide-de-Camp- General Vice-Admiral Korniloff, in his report on this affair, adds : The captain, the officers, and the crew of the steamer the Vladimir behaved themselves bravely ; Capt. Lieut. Boutakoff commanded as at a, manoeuvre; the action of the artillery was rapid and just, as is proved by the ravages in the enemy's vessel. The flag officers attached to my person, Bariatinsky, Jeleznoff, Dobrovolsky, and Nasky eneouraged the crew by their example. Jelez noff was an officer who gave great hopes.' After having received the report of the capture of the said Egyptian steamer, his Majesty the Emperor has deigned to give to the steamer the name of Korniloff, to advance a step all the officers of the steamer the Vladimir, and besides to confer the Order of St. George of the 4th class on Capt.-Lieutenant Boutakoff, commander of the steamer ; the Order of St. Vladimir of the 4th class with the ro sette on Lieutenant Popandopoule ; a sword of honour in gold, with the inscription—' For bravery,'. on Captain- Lieutenant Prince Bariatinsky ; eight marks of honour of the Military Order on the crew ; also a present of 10 silver roubles to each warrant officer, and five roubles to each sailor. The above account appeared first in the Invalids Busse of St. Petersburg, but the -Journal de Saint Petersbourg has left out a passage of the report, in which the Turkish steamer is stated to have been inferior in force to the Vladimir. In the following details respecting Sinope the Debats points out the great importance of the Rus sians taking possession of that fort, and makint , it " a kind of Gibraltar on the Turkish coast of Black Sea," by which they could cut off the com munications between Constantinople and Erzeroum. If the Russians can do so it is certain they will avail themselves of the suggestions of the Debats. It says : - "The town of Sinope (Sinoub of the Turks) is situate in Anatolia, on the southern shore of the Black Sea, half way betwedia C )nstantialple and Trebizond, and about 100 leagues from each of these places. It is de pendent on the Grand Pashalik of Angora, and has a population of from 8,000 to 10,000 inhabitants. The town is built on the isthmus of a peninsula which runs out into the sea in the form of a promontory. It is the most northerly point of this immense coast. The port extends, to the east of the town, but as it is not enclosed by any moles it can only be considered as an open road stead. This roadstead is defended by batteries and by the castle of the town, a large - massive construction, raised in the time of the Greek Emperors. To the west ward of the peninsula is another anchorage called Ak- Liman or the White Port. The importance of Sinope consists in its naval arsenal and building-yard, the only one in Tuikey besides that at Constantinople. Ships of the line and frigates are built there. The oak cut on the sur rounding mountains is very bard, and the vessels built at Sinope are considered as the best in the Turkish fleet. The engineers are for the most part foreigners in the service of Turkey, and the workmen are Greeks of the country, who are paid from 10 to 12 sous a day. The fOrtifications of the port are incomplete and in a bad state. In 1808, at the time of the attempt of Admiral Duckworth on Constantinople, then defended by Ge neral Sebastiani, the French Ambassador, that officer, comprehending the importance of'. Sinope, sent two French officers and two sub-officers of engineers to im prove the fortifications. Their first care was to erect a battery at the point of the promontory in such a posi tion as to be able to command both sides of the peninsula and the entrance of the roadstead. They afterwards traced out several other works of defence, some of which were never executed, and the others were not kept in repair any more than the rest of the fortifications. Thus the place remained without re ceiving any repairs for 40 years, and those which have been lately commenced had not received the necessary development. The Russians in 1807 made an attack on Trebizond by sea, but were repulsed ; .but, as they had never attempted anything against Sinope, the Turks persuaded themselves that they had nothing to fear, and they have just been roughly punished for their careless ness. • It may be readily conceived that six ships of the line with their heavy broadsides, suddenly appearing in the roadstead, could soon knock to pieces such old and dilapidated ramparts. It cannot be called a sea-fight since the Turkish vessels were all at anchor in the port. • It appears, according to the despatches, that it is there that they were sunk by an irresistible superior fire, to which the Turkish batteries were not in a state to reply for any length of time. The cannonade, we are told, only lasted one hour, and that space of time was sufficient to destroy 13 ves sels, ten of which were vessels of war, and three tran sports. If the war is to continue actively next year in Europe and in As:a, it will become a matter of great im portance for the Turks to rebuild the fortifications of Sinope on the principles of modern art, and to put that place in security, not only against a coup-de-main, like the' present, but also in a state to maintain a. regular siege. • If the Russians were to take possession of Sinope, which they could readily 'in its present wretched and unprotected condition, they might- make it a place impregnable against the Turks, and convert it into a kind of Gibraltar on the Turkish .coast of the Black Sea. Established in a position of this kind, which would enable them to land a considerable body - of troops, they would keep in check all the 'centre of. Asia Minor, and cut off the communications between. Constantinople and Erzeronm. The Turkish army of Armenia would then have not only to oppose the enemy 'on the side of Georgia, . but it would have another army in its rear, and the Ottoman Government would be. obliged to org anize a second ar fly in Asia Minor. These con siderations cannot escape the notice of the European military officers who give strategic advice to the Ot toman generals. The town of Sinope is built with the materials of the old Greek city, a colony of the Mile sians. Sinope was the birth-place of Diogenes, and the capital of Mithridates. Lucullus took possession of it in the year 71 before Christ. The houses and the fortifications present a multitude of ancient ruins confusedly heaped together... There may be there seen Greek ,and Paphla gonian inscriptions, busts, and military statues. Tra vellers mention having seen an entire statue, plaoed head downwards in the walls of the castle. -All the towns of Asia Minor, formerly so flourishing in arts and com merce, present the same spectacle so 'afflicting to the eyes of .Europeans. The Turks have vegetated for three centuries on these ruins without deriving a lesson from it. They appear at length to be awakened to an idea of civilization, and the shock which they have just received will, perhaps, benefit them for the future." CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice Cresswell and Mr. Justice Erie.) THE STABBING AND 11URDER CASE AT DEPTFORD. Henrie Gustave Brundl and Auders Akali, both foreign sailors, were arraigned for the wilful murder of Thomas Brosnahan, but in consequence of the absence of the In terpreter the case was postponed until next sessions. There was no other case of the slightest interest be• fore the court this morning. The sessions terminated to-day, and the court stood adjourned until the 2d of January, 1854. SHERIFFS' COURT-(THIS DAY). (Before R. Gurney, Esq.) WOOD V. THE FIRE ANNIHILATOR COMPANY. This was an action to recover the sum of 381. for work alleged to have been performed for the benefit of the com pany. The case lasted a long time, but the details were wholly uninteresting, depending solely on the measure ment of the work admitted to have been done. From the evidence adduced, it appeared that the company had caused a moveable house to be framed at Battersea for the purpose of setting on fire, that the effect of the annihilator might be observed to the best advantage from the banks of the Thames. This project having been satisfactorily carried out, the " house" was taken to Gravesend as a second grand exhibition ; but notwith standing the exertions made, the edifice at Battersea had been reduced to a very low ebb of existence, and plaintiff had been engaged to do the " repairs " and re erect the house. The company's engineer was of opinion that the plaintiff's charges were far too high ; they appeared to be founded on a specification for a substantial house, and not such as the one projected by the company, which was to prove that a fire in a house in which there was the most inflammable material could be extinguished. The expense of the erection or re-erection could be con siderably reduced. The experiment was tried in the presence of thousands at Gravesend. His Honour said the charges appeared unreasonable —in the first instance, the plaintiff had sent in a bill without giving any particulars, and he afterwards sent in a detailed account. The plaintiff must have kept his books very carelessly, or there could not have been such a difference in the two accounts rendered. The judgment of the Court was for 211. Bs. COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, DEC. 13. The Queen and Prince and the Royal children walked out yesterday afternoon. The Duke and Duchess of Brabant - 'arrived at Ostend at one o'clock this morning, after a favourable passage. A deputation of magistrates, on the subject of a re formatory school for juvenile prisoners of the county of Middlesex, had an interview with Viscount Palmerston yesterday at the Home-office. The deputation consisted of Mr. Antrobus, Mr. Serjeant Adams, Mr. Pownall, Mr. Robinson, Mr. France, Mr. Cottrell, Capt. George Bague, R.N. Major Elsey, Mr. Evans, Mr. B. J.

A deputation, consisting of the Mayor of Walling ford, Mr. Dalyell (magistrate), and Mr. Field (alder man), Mr. Gells (alderman), Mr. Allnatt, and Dr. All natt, had an interview yesterday with Viscount Pal merston. The deputation was introduced to his lord ship by Mr. Malins, Despatches from the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, and also from the Governors of the Cape of Good Hope, New South Wales, and West Australia,. were received yesterday at the Colonial-office. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary intend to pass the winter at Kew Cottage. The Royal Duchess entertained a small party at dinner on Monday evening. Her Royal Highness re turned to London from visiting Lord Cardigan, at Deane Park. The Duke de Montpensier has just presented the municipality of Seville with several valuable paintings of the Spanish school, which formerly belonged to the town. In the number is a " Virgin" of Murillo, and another of Morales ; four large paintings by Zurburan ; different por traits of the celebrated painters of Spain, executed by themselves, and amongst them ono of Velasquez. According to the Correspondence, of Berlin, it is stated that the Dowager Princess of Hohenzollern-Sigma ringen is about to enter a French content at Kennzheim, near Colmar. The Duke and Duchess of Cleveland are enter taining company at Raby Castle, near Darlington. Lord Harry Vane, M.P., has left Sir Gilbert Heathcote's, Nor manton Park, to join the party. The Duke and Duchess of Manchester have left town for Kimbolton Castle, near Huntingdon. Lord Elphinstone and suite left Malta on the let inst., in the &mine steamer, for Alexandria, en route to Bombay. Lord Dudley Stuart, M.P., has left England for the Continent for a few weeks. • His Excellency Sir Charles Hotham, the newly appointed Governor of South Australia, and his bride (sister to the Hon. Colonel Hood), have left town for Paris, for the honeymoon. Sir Harry Vane, Bart., has left St. James's place for Mathwaite Hall, Cumberland. The Belgian Minister, M. Van de Weyer, re turned to the Legation, in ortland-place, yesterday, from attending the Duke and Duchess de Brabant. A matrimonial alliance is said to be on the tapis between Viscount Fielding and the accomplished daughter of a noble marquis, for many years one of the most ardent supporters of the turf. THE HORSE-GUARDS. We understand that Lieutenant-General Cathcart, at present Commander-in- Chief at the Cape, has been appointed to succeed Lieut.- General Sir George Brown as Adjutant-General of the Forces. We regret to state that Lord Chief Justice Knight Bruce has severely bruised the bones of his knee by a fall, and that there is no probability of his resuming his judicial duties for some days. The Duke of Brunswick some time ago purchased the hotel No. 11, Rue Beaujon, formerly occupied by the notorious Lola Montes, and the adjacent hotel, No. 9, was at the same time sold to M. Colmet, an artist. The seller was a person named Rosas. Before the sale he took 105 yards of ground from the dependenciesof No. 9, and added them to No. 11; but this change was not mentioned in the conditions of sale. When consequently M. Colmet entered in possession of his purchase, he demanded the restoration of the 105 yards, or an indemnity. A sum of 3,500 f. was offered to him, and he accepted it. An action, which he had commenced, was accordingly droppe , and the matter was considered at an end. But the Duke of Brunswick, on his part, alleged that the demand of M. Colmet had pre vented him taking immediate possession of his hotel, and had obliged him, en attendant the settlement of it, to take apartments for himself and suite ; andhe therefore brought an action before the Civil Tribunal to obtain 50,000 f. damages. The tribunal awarded hi ni 7,000 f. M. Colm e t appealed against this decision, and the duke, on his part, not thinking the indemnity sufficient, also appealed. The case was heard on Saturday by the Imperial Court. The court quashed the judgment of the tribunal, dismissed the duke's demand, and condemned him to the costs.— Galignani. MONDAY, THE 26TH, AS A HOLIDAY.—Wo have now received the pleasing intimation from all the great brewery establishments in London, that their premises will be strictly closed on Monday, the 26th, so as to enable them to give the men in their employ a complete holiday. From the number of communications which have reached us from other firms, we feel justified in saying that the day will be universally observed as a holiday in the metropolis. The accounts, too, which reach us from the provinces point to the almost absolute certainty of its being observed as a holiday throughout the country.—Morning Advertiser.

The tardy resolution adopted by the Admiralty with regard to the late Sir John Franklin and his associates in adventure and misfortune can scarcely have taken even the most determined Arctic dilet tante by surprise. Enough, and far more than enough, has been done. The Polar seas have been ransacked in every possible direction which the ingeituity of the most practised Arctic navigators could suggest, or the courage and skill of our choicest sailors could attain. We had long since incurred no common share of obloquy by stating that such must be the infallible result of the latter expeditions. The question h - Id been practically decided by the former voyages to Lancaster Sound and Behring's Straits, and by the careful re searches which had been instituted on the northern coast of America and the inclement dis tricts which lie over against them. For the pur pose of reducing Franklin's safety to an impossi bility six years were sufficient. The recent opera tions under the direction of Sir Edward Belcher, and the desperate enterprise of Captains Collinson and M'Clure, were not necessary to convince any reasonable and unprejudiced mind that Franklin and his gallant companions were far beyond human help. It must be remembered that the despatch of such expeditions as these upon so desperate a service involves no slight responsibility for those who suggest them, and for those who adopt the suggestion. It was certain that the object for which they were sent was well nigh visionary ; it was certain, also, that the risk of life was enormous to those who were consigned to the rigours of the eternal ice. There is an end, then—as we trust for ever— to the further prosecution of such plans as those which were carried out mainly at the instigation of the late Sir John Barrow. The problem of the north-west passage is solved just in the manner that might have been expected, and the only in ference which can in fairness be drawn from the solution is, that the discovery is perfectly useless for all maritime or commercial purposes. Had the same energy, the same skill, the same money been devoted to some more rational object in quarters of the globe fit for the habitation of man, what re sults might we not have obtained ! The two great oceans of the world are still unconnected at Panama, while since the year 1818 we have been driving expedition after expedition up to the North Pole, and have concluded the series of achievements by the loss of poor Sir John Franklin, and the crews of his two ships. The English whalers perhaps may be induced hereafter to visit the waters to the east of Spitzbergen in search of whales, but of Arctic expeditions we have had more than enough. —Times. THE ARCTIC SEARCH.—We are informed that no letters or despatches have yet been received by the Admiralty from her Majesty's ship Amphitrite, on her return from Behring's Straits, and there is consequently no foundation for the statement that there has been news from the Enterprise and In vestigator. The latest intelligence from the latter ship had already reached us by Captain Inglefield, and nothing more can be known of her until the autumn of next year. Of the Enterprise no intelli gence has been received. It is also untrue that the name of Sir John Franklin will be struck off the books of the Admiralty, in order to make room for that of Captain Chads. It is not to be supposed that the Admiralty would contemplate such a step while the issue, even of their own expeditions in search of Sir John Franklin, is unknown.—Morn ing Chronicle. SPANISH DEBT.—The Spanish Financial Commission have advertised the 25th auction of the foreign re deemable debt to take place at Madrid on the 29th inst., for which purpose 187,500 reals have been as signed by the Government.

The Emperor has received, at a private audience, Count de Moltke, Minister of the King of Den mark, who presented a letter from his Sovereign, notifying the birth of the Princess Thyra Amalie Caroline Charlotte Anne, daughter of Prince Chris tian of Denmark. Monday afternoon the Emperor and Empress proceeded in a carriage and four to the Bois de Boulogne, attended only by a lady of honour and by MM. de Beville and Valabreque. Their Ma jesties alighted at the Porte Dauphine, and walked as far as the Rond Point de Mortemart. They afterwards re-entered the carriage, and proceeded to the Boulevard de Strasbourg. Throughout their drive their Majesties were everywhere hailed with loud cries of " Vive l'Empereur 1" " Vive l'lmperatrice !" A - report from M. Bineau, Minister of Finance, recommends the distribution into chapters of the credits fixed by the Legislative Corps for each Ministerial department for the year 1854. As the Ministry of Police has since then been suppressed, and the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce been re-established, with that of Public Works attached to it, a part of the credits previously allowed have become available. The Emperor having ordered that a saving of 100,000 f. should be effected out of the said credits, the sum of 1,516,720,459 f. would be come available as the expenses of the year. A de cree follows, approving of the proposed distribution, and ordering that a saving of 50,000 f. should be effected in the budget of the Interior, and of 50,000 f. in that of Agriculture, Commerce, and Public Works. The credits of 23,651,540 f. for the expenses of the State--of 104,232,550 f. for the Departmental Service—and of 21,362,200 f. for the Colonies—are to be hereafter distributed by special decrees, inserted in the Bulletin des Lois. The &hie having, in its number of Dec. 9, repre sented the arrest of M. Hubbard, the advocate, as an interference with the freedom of defence usually allowed to prisoners' counsel, whereas in reality that persuu was arrested under the charge of being affiliated to a secret society, the Minister of the Interior has given a first warralig to that journal " for having thus misrepresented an act of o ordi na l judicial proceedings, and tended to excite hatreu and contempt against the public authorities. t,„ A letter from Belle Isle, of the 4th inst., Stai7 that a soldier of the 37th regiment of the li ne, w, ! e had been placed as a sentinel near the cell s of , u State prisoners Barbs and Albert, h a d been a. tected making a sign to them to approach to recapthe Phare de /a Loire from him. The soldier being questioned answered that he had those because his political opinions coincided of the prisoners. During his removal to the prin of the citadel he was perceived to tear a paper 1% throw the fragments into the sea. The paper tainei a request to procure a boat and to come the hind the wall of the prisoners' cells and whistle. o air Au clair de la Lune. After his examinall two of his comrades were arrested.
