Honour to the brave, to whom honour is just'y due I No degree of red-tapism can with hold the general recognition of distinguished and meritorious services. Governments only follow, do not lead public opinion, and too frequently tabibit great tardiness in the operation. There is, however, the opportunity of " damning by faint praise," or depreciating by inadequate re- 'wards, and that has always been a favourite course. We have recently alluded to the miserable pittance bestowed on the hero who has readered `~? `~~ ,:.,,. .D.LWORATION O 1 THE VICTORIA CROSS. (From the London Gazette of Sept. 25.) WAR-OFFICE, SEPT. 25. The Queen has been graciously pleased to signify her intention to confer the decoration of the Vic toria Cross on the undermentioned officers and non commissioned officer of her Majesty's army, who have been recommended to her Majesty for that decoration, in accordance with the rules laid down in her Majesty's warrant of the 29th January, 1856, on account of acts of bravery performed by them before the enemy during the late war, as recorded in connection with their several names, viz. : Lieutenant Christopher Charles Teesdale, C. 8., Royal Artillery ; date of act of bravery, 29th of September, 1855 ; for gallant conduct in having, while acting as aide-de-camp t) Major-General Sir William Fenwick Williams, Bart., K.C.8., at HKars, volunteered to take command of the force engaged in the defence of the most advanced part of the works, the key of the position, against the attack of the Russian Army ; when, by throwing himself into the midst of the enemy, who had pene trated into the above redoubt, he encouraged the garrison to make an attack so vigorous as to drive out the Russians therefrom, and prevent its cap cure; also for having, during the hottest part of the action, when the enemy's fire had driven the Turkish artillerymen from their guns, rallied the latter, and by his intrepid example induced them to return to their post ; and further, after having led the final charge which completed the victory of the day, for having, at the greatest personal risk, saved from the fury of the Turks a considerable number of the disabled among the enemy, who were lying wounded outside the works—an action witnessed and acknowledged gratefully before the Russian Staff by General Mouravieff. Sergeant Joseph Malone, 13th Light Dragoons ; date of act of bravery, 25th of October, 1854 ; for having stopped under a heavy fire to take charge of Captain Webb, 17th Lancers, until others ar rived to assist him in removing that officer, who was, as it afterwards proved, mortally wounded. Sergeant Malone performed this act of bravery while returning on foot from the charge at the battle of Balaklava, in which his horse had been shot. - - . Captam Henry Mitchell Jones, 7th Fusiliers (late) ; date of act of bravery, 7th of June, 1855 ; for having distinguished himself while serving with the party which stormed and took the Quarries before Sebastopol, by repeatedly leading on his men to repel the continued assaults of the enemy during the night. Although wounded early in the evening Captain Jones remained unflinchingly at his post until after daylight the following morning. Captain Thomas Esmonde, 18th Regiment ; date of acts of bravery, 18th and 20th June, 1855 ; for having, after being engaged in the attack ou the Rerlan, repeatedly assisted, at great personal risk under a heavy fire of shell and grape, in rescuing wounded men from exposed situations ; and also while in command of a covering party two da3s after, for having rushed with the most prompt and daring gallantry to a spot where a fireball from the enemy had just been lodged, which ho effectually extinguished before it had betrayed the position of the working party under his protection, thus saving it from a murderous fire of shell and grape, which was immediately opened upon the spot where the fireball had fallen. THE REINFORCEMENTS FOR INDIA. (From Thacker's Overland News.) The following is a complete and corrected list of the transports which have sailed for India with reinforcements of tioops to supress the Sepoy mu tinies ; also the vessels engaged to take out the last ordered to India, and now embarking. The dates and numbers having been corrected from the official list, and the detail of officers embarked added to each detachment, will account for any dis crepancies from the previous statements, and makes the information in its present form complete. Those vessels named as destined for Ceylon touch at Point de Galle for final orders. The movements of these vessels of which we have any tidings are given in the footnotes. From the totals given by this list it will he seen that 77 vessels have already sailed for India since the news of the revolt first reached home, cou veying to the assistance of our countrymen a force of 29,235 men °flail ranks of Cavalry, Infantry, and Artillery ; and that a further force of 5,000 men of the Cavalry, Infantry, Artillery, Engineers, and Field Train will embark almost immediately for th© same destination. As the vessels which first left these shores have now been out close upon 90 day 4 we may calculate with some degree of certainty that, in addition to the 14,000 reinforce ments already landed at Calcutta from China, the Cape, and Mauritius, relief from England will-now daily arrive, and that during next month a force of over 9,000 men will be landed ' and sent up the country, to be followed in November by nearly 18,000 men, and in the following month, Decem• b,r, by nearly 18,000 more, including the 5,000 now embarking ; so that by the close of the .year we shall have increased the British force in India by at le,ist 48,000 well-seasoned and disciplined troops of every arm in the service : Sailed. Corps. R lf N N S P T 11 1 1 Pt c - 16, - ATE NEWS THE S D ,1 1 - 7 4 • , in the toil, has participated in the trials, is stimu lated to fresh exertions by thd,knowledge that the efforts to which he contributed have been spoken of at "home." But the grant of 1001. a year to Gan. HANELOCK, representing the Brigade, will disgust these gallant soldiers. Why not give him a Peerage and a pension, or even the Grand Cross of the Bath ? How oftan have they been given for less important services ? But something more should be given than mere honorary tokens. Why not give him the command of a regiment—of the Bth Highlanders, for instance, who would hail with delight such a colonel t It is true that there is no vacancy just at present. But the PRINCIS CONSORT is colonel of the Grenadier Guards and of the 60th Rifles, and one of these might be re- linquished for a time—not the Grenadier Guard; the pay of which was made treble the ordi nary amount as the reward for extraordinary services. We scarcely expect an act so graceful and so conscientious, which might be recorded in the same columns that announced the sums given by Income-tax defaulters to the Treasury as ex piations for the wrongs they had committed. Bat some effort should be made, something done, to show that the avengers of the Cawnpore massacre are not forgotten, and that there is still a feeling at home for those who, by almost super human exertions, have vindicated the honour of the British name 1 A very important meeting takes place this day. The Autocrat and the Emperor ALEXANDBI and Loma N.trolmox fraternise at Stuttgardt, under the auspices of that respectable Gentleman Usher, the King of WURTEMBERG. The interview may be one of a very common-place character, or it may be fraught with consequences of vital im portance to the peace and tranquillity of Europe. It may be a mere recognition of the recent impor tation into " tha family of sovereigns," who a few years since was not deemed a suitable match for one having blue blood in her veins--a distant relative of one of the German despots. Times have, however, changed; and England is now to be snubbed, not France. We have proved impracticable, and would not accept a share of " the sick man's" assets, however liberally tendered, and therefore, according to the policy of PETER, another attempt must be made —one, too, in a totally different direc tion. England and Austria at present stop the way, and we know not which vehicle may be ordered to move on by the imperial police men. Ws may probably expect the first notice, for there is the Indian difficulty, which might in duce the belief that we could not vindicate our own position in a case of emergency. The parties may, however, reckon without their host, should they attempt to act on such a notion. Notwithstanding the Indian Rebellion, we can still find men and money, all the personnel and material of war, by land and sea, on any adequate rather more than nine and one half millions of tons. Railways carried last year the enormous total, in round numbers, of SIXTY-FITS MILLIONS OP TONS of merchandise of all kinds, be- sides the large amount of nearly 10,500,000 head of live stock ! The saving of interest on money from the rapid delivery of goods, also from its not being necessary to keep over-large stocks when goods can be so quickly transferred, must be a great economy of capital ; but even in regard ,o mere amount of tonnage, the railways of Eng- .and now far outvie her commercial navy. The receipts under this head alone were more than 13,000,0001. during the year. It would be satisfactory to know that those at whose cost this vast engine for commerce, and for pleasure too, was constructed, were receiving a 'air remuneration for their outlay. This, how- ever, as we have already stated, is far enough from being the case. Preference shareholders, of course, have no reason to complain ; but the ordi nary shareholders in perhaps the largest com- mercial concern in the country do not get the pre- sent interest of Consols for their money. There seems, however a fair prospect of some improve ment in this respect. Not only is the manage ment of Joint-Stock Companies attracting greater attention, and becoming better looked to, but the sources of Railway profit are increasing and ex penses are diminishing. The report gives ample details, from which we gather that, omitting unimportant fractions, while the number of miles open has increased . four per cent., the receipts for goods traffic have increased eight per cent. ; the receipts for passenger traffic have also increased seven per cent. ; the increase of passengers carried has been eight per cent. Concurrently with this increase of receipts, the working expenses, as compared with them, have diminished one per cent. as compared with the pre vious year. These facts seem to indicate that the lowest point of depression has been reached, and that more careful management, combined with in creased traffic and receipts, will soon materially improve the prospects of railways. The Report observes, that " the steady increase in the net re ceipts, in a greater ratio than the increase of the capital invested, is evidence of sound progress." Some curious facts, illustrative of the effect of raising or diminishing fares, are stated by Capt. GALTON. Both in England and Scotland a dimi nution is the first-class fares, has been followed by an increase in receipts from first-class passen gers. The raising of second-class fares has been followed by little variation in the receipts; which must indicate, of course, fewer second class pas sengers, they having been probably attracted by the lower first class fares. They may, however, have resorted to the third class; since the average fares for that class have also been diminished, with a large increase in the tt ceipts ; this in• eludes, however, excursion trains. It would appear, therefore, on the whole, that increase of fares has not increased revenue, while lowered fares have been followed by a corre sponding advance in the receipts. This is en couraging, because the wider the basis of support, even were the net revenue the same, the less liable would it be to fluctuation. There is per haps an apparent partial exception in Scotland. Third class fares have been raised there, and the third class receipts have risen also. But from this must be deducted a diminution of the receipts per mile for second class passengers ; probably, therefore, the effect of raising the Scotch third class fares has been a loss of what might have been gained from the working classes by lower charges. ' The aggregate receipts from all sources of railway traffic are about equal to the receipts for the Cus toms of the - United Kingdom ; both are in round numbers 23,000,0001. I The coincidence is cer tainly a singular one. The railways have by just 35,0001. the advantage of the Customs. The re ceipts from goods traffic are now 2,858,0001. in excess of those for passengers. We see very plainly from the report how much wemust have sacrificed to mismanagement or haste in the construction of our railways, and probably more than by anything to the interested Parlia mentary opposition, and the avarice of landholders. The cost per mile of the English railways is much the highest ; but the average cost of all has been 35,4591. per mile for the railways open. The average cost of the independent lines of railway for which acts have been obtained since 1848, and which are now open has been only 9,5681. per mile—little above one-fourth of the former sum 1 To the landed aristocracy of the country we owe the larger part of the extra cost of railways. We see in Mr. Sam's' Life of STEPHENSON, that iu January, 1856, out of 286,000,0001. invested in railway property, 70,000,000/. or about one fourth had gone to the landholders ! How this went, a single fact may explain. For the Lon don and Birmingham Railway the fairly estimated value of the land was 250,0001. The amount paid, after the first bill had been thrown out by the House of Lords, at a cost of 32,000 1 . to the company, was about 750,0001. I Perhaps in uo chapter of their history do landlords cut a sadder figure than in their opposition to railways. They not only opposed them in Parliament, at a ruinous cost to the promoters, not only compelled them to make detours involving costly cuttings and tun nels, causing a gratuitous waste of millions, but even after an enormous price had been obtained for laud on the ground of injury to the property, if the companies wanted more of the same laud they were frequently charged an advanced price on account of the increased value given it by the railways. Of all parties benefited by railways the landlords have the largest share. Besides re ceiving as a body the value Of the laud in the increased value of their property, they and their lawyers have probably received in hard cash a sum of not less than SEVENTY-SEVEN MILLIONS sterling. WYLD'S GREAT GLOBE, LEICESTER SQUARE. DIORAMA OF DELHI. Mr. Wyld, who, in his capacity of chief national car tographer, has issued several maps of extreme utility and fiaish, illustrating the arena of the stupendous struggle no ,v being waged in our Indian territories, has further more produced at his celebrated estlblishment in Leices ter-square, a splendid pictorial representation of the head-quarters of the great rebellion. Delhi, the imperia' city of Mahomedan tyranny in Hindostan, is presented on the canvass in the vivid hues of reality, and the spec tator is enabled, by this admirable work of art, to rea lise the position and the peculiar features of a Owe of such painful celebrity, the very name of which, at the present moment, excites the most intense sensations in every British breast. The principal view is taken from the cantonments of our army overlooking the city, and affords a perfect idea of its great fortified strength. We see the red granite wall by which it is surrounded, forty feet in height ; the famous seven gates facing to the different provinces of the once Mahomedan empire. of India ; the Grand Canal run ning through the city ; the Jumna River ; the Musjeed ; the English Church, and Magazine (the scene of young Willoughby's heroic act) ; Roshur-ud-Dowlah, or Nadir Shah's Mosque ; the ruins of temples and grand tombs, thickly strewn ; and the decaying palaces and castles of ancient Delhi. Views are likewise afforded of the Ceaudin Chouk, or thriving main street of the modern town, with its shops and bazaars ; and of the King's Palace, with its famous marble hall, together with the Salimghur, or fort ; the river Jumna, and the bridge of boats, since destroyed by the rebate ; in fact, an aggre gate of all the salient characteristics of this important fortress city. A. museum of the people of the East, with figures, life siz , , in origiaal castumea, arms, &c., tends to complete this most valuable and interesting illustration of the Great Mutiny, which, both while traitors man the walls of Delhi, and after they (Shall have been held once more by British supremacy after this most critical and fearful phase of war, must, with out doubt, prove to be one of the most attractive exh bitions ever opened in the metropolis. RELIEF FOR THE INDIAN SUFFERERS, MANSION-HOUSE (THIS DAY.) At a meeting of tlp committee, held this day, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted : 1. That the object of this committee is to relieve, as far as may be practicable and necessary, the distress caused by the mutinies in India. 2. In so doing, care should be taken not to supersede the the assistance which ought to be given by the Government, by the established Widows' and Orphans' Funds, or by the relations of the sufferers; but to supplement it to the extent to which it falls short of a just measure of relief. 3. Compensation for losses as such, will in no case be given. 4. Subject to time preceding conditions, the efforts of the Committee will be specially directed. Ist. To enable the sufferers to live with frugality in their respective states of life until other means are available. 2d. To provide for the maintenance and education of children in cases in which it has been interrupted by casualties arising out of the mutiny, aad in which it can not be provided for from other sources. 3d. To assist the sufferers to come to this country or to go to India, when the circumstances render it proper that they should do so, an I the means of paying for their pas sage cannot be obtained trom any other source. 4th. To afford reasonable aid, by loan or otherwise, to Lacers and others who have lost their equipments, furni ture, or other properly, by the necessity of sudden flight from their stations or the destruction of their dwellings, when, without such aid, they would be involved in pecu niary embarrassments. sth. That relief according to these principles be given, without distinction of religion or nationality, to every parson of whatever rani who has a just claim upon the sympathy and assistance of the British poople. MUSIC ON THE CONTINENT. (FllOll A. COARESPONDEAT WIESBADEN, SEPT. 23, The administration of the gambling society at these baths, discreetly resolved that Apollo, Terpsichore, Thespie, and Diana, should be celled in to assist Flutus on the season's wane, and announced their intention of celebrating the last week in this month, by what they chose, in deference to Anglo-Saxon example and phra seology, to term a grand festival, consist . ng of a con cert, a ball, a theatrical representation of Wagner's •‘ Tannhauser,': and a sort of Epping hunt. The first of these attractive gaities came off most successfully last night, when Felicien David conducted in person well selected portions of his much admired compositions " La Desert" and "Christophe Culomb." Herr Steger and Fraulein Storek severally distinguished themselves by the chaste and classical Manner in which they sang acre from the " Zsuberflote " and " Fidelie ;" and Felix Godefroid excited general admiration by his clever per• formauce on that difficult instrument, the harp. flandel's great hallelujah chorus was also exceedingly well given by the Cecilia and Matwergesang a4suciations of the town ; although, of course, the result was nut comparable to the 'stupendous effect at the Handel Festival in the Crystal Palace. But the great star of the evening was Servais, the Emperor of violoncello players, who executed two pieces of his own composition, a fantasia on Sclavonic melo dies, and a caprice on DonizeLi's " La Figlia del Reg girneeto," with a brilliancy of instrumentation, which drew down thunders of applause from the large and critical German audience, that " madethe welkin ring." It is hard to properly deFeeribe the various super-excel lent merits of this eminent artist, who should be often beard by the best judges to be appreciated as he de serves. His playing combined all that is possible to imagine to be within the scope of the highest musicel genius and the most indomitable perseverance to accom plish on his instrument. The purity of his intonation, and the power, rapidity, and expression of his bowing and execution, are not to be surpassed. At one time you might to the grand tones of the solemn Y e p m o nor:a ti n r6 ; .6 a f t l a is n t e e t n h i e n r g , to the dulcet breathing of a flute ; and at a third, to the hand of Tbalberg, or a Liszt, disentangling the intricacies of a most complicated passage on the psinoforte. Everything is done with wonderful ease and precision, and neither effort nor labour are perceptible. In short, to listen to this most finished artist, is a treat of the very highest order to all true lovers of music, and it is much to be regretted that he has not been induced to revisit England, subsequent to his astonishing progress and perfection since his last appearance in Loudon mall years ago. I sincerely trust he may be tempted to agalu favour the British isles with his presence. The autumnal weather still continues marvellously fine, yet the Ger man waterin,g places are now thinning fast, and at the close of this Wiesbaden Festival, Paris, and the English metropolis may look to the speedy advent of the children of Albion for the winter. occasion. It may be that the interview may be for very beneficial purposes—that the Emperors may be desirous of diminishing their standing armies, and applying the necessary expenditure to the development of the natural capabilities of the Nations under their respective sway. It will, iudeezl, be truly fortunate if such be the case. We have, however, seldom, if ever, heard of the consultations of monarchs being for the good of their subjects. They are generally devoted to the best mode of bridling public opinion, and placing "Kingcraft" in the ascendant ; of crushing some eilailiitioa of independence, or enforcing more stringent regulation-. Should it be otherwise, it will at least have the claim of novelty to recommend it. We trust it may be so ; but we confess that we distrust all such proceedings, and "fear the Greeks even when ten dering gifts." A meeting is also appointed between the Cal and the Emperor of AUSTRIA, That will, probably, be to procure the assent of the latter to the arrangements previously entered iato on the part of Russia and France. It is not a very dignified position for FitANcis JOSEPH, but as it is the best he can obtain, we suppose that he must be oontented with his lot, and eat his leek with all possible equanimity. Why are railways such an everlasting topic for grumbling I That 'ordinary shareholders should grumble seems reasonable enough ; their dividenth in the majority of cases would make any investor •omplain ; in some cases next to nothing, and on the average hardly above 3 per cen t. But what the travelling public, have to grumble about it is hard to understand. The report of Captain CiALION to the Committee of Pr ivy Council nc,w lies before us, and it is impossible to glance at it ever so cursorily, without rene wed astonishment at the vastness and general excellence of our rail way system.

His lord-hip went down to a deep level on the hut lode, where tie miners work naked, and have cold water from above continually poured over them. He remained there longer than he should have done, and was so exhausted and overc)rne by the 'heat and steam, that, when he again arrived at the surface, brandy had to be liberally a Imipisttred to revive him.' J. A. liardcaqie, Esq., M.P., for Bury St. Edmund►, has regaled about 1,500 of bis liberal supporters and their tiives, at an 'xcellont tea.

Since that time, the several reports as to the noble earl's improvement are uniform ; and confident hopes are entertained that his lordship will soo❑ be enabled to bear removal to his seat at Wentworth. Under these gratifying eircum s anoes, it is expected that the noble earl will be suffi ciently recovered to receive the Queen at Wentworth, on the 15th of October, on her Majesty's return from Scotland." About 200 ladies and children are expected to arrive at Southampton in the next India mul packet, due at that putt on the 4th pros. THE MEETING OF THE EMPERORS OF FRANCE AND RUSSIA. The following telegraphic despatches have been received : STUTTGARDT, SEPT. 24. The Emperor Alexander arrived here at four o'clock. His Majesty was received by the King of Wurtemberg at Feuerbach, the station nearest to this place. Prince Gortschakoff accompanied the Emperor. On his arrival at Carlsruhe the Emperor re ceived the compliments of the Grand Duke of Baden. STRASBURG, SEPT. 25. The EmperOr Napoleon set out this morning at eight o'clock, accompanied by his suite and the local authorities. The people saluted his Majesty with enthusiastic acclamations from Strasburg to Kiel. The Emperor will breakfast at Baden, at the residence of the Grand Duchess Stephanie. He seemed deeply impressed by the welcome re ception given him by the population of Alsace. STUTTGARDT, SEPT. 25. The Emperor Napoleon arrived here this after noon at half-past four o'clock. The Eiug of Wurtemberg received him at the railway station and conducted bim to the Palace, where they were immediately joined by the Em peror of Russia. Contrary to all expectations, the Empress of Russia will join the party to-morrow. PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. The Milan Official Gazette expresses the satis faction of the Austrian Government with the meeting of the Emperor of the French and the Czar. It says that the Czar made the first overtures for a meeting with the Emperor, and that the latter would make no promise till he had ex plained. to Queen Victoria at Osborne the motives and purpose of his visit to Germany. The fact of the interview being sought by the Czar (says the Gazette) is sufficiently shown by his taking a journey from St. Petersburg almost to the frontiers of France to effect his object. FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY. The Emperor left Luneville on Thursday at half past 12 o'clock, after having passed the division of cavalry iu review, and arrived at Strasburg at 3. His Majesty was received at the railway station by General Reibell, in command of the Gth division, the prefect, the mayor, and the principal authori ties. His Majesty, after having received all the mayors of the department who had assembled to pay their respects to him, mounted his horse and proceeded to passs in reveiew, on the Place Kleber, the troops of the garrison. The streets were crowded to excess, the houses were all dressed out with flowers and flags, and the enthusiasm was universal. At the review, the reception given to his Majesty by the soldiers was not less marked. After the troops had filed off, the Emperor went to the prefecture, and received the deputies of the department and all the civil and military authorities of the place. At five o'clock, the Grand Duke of Baden arrived to pay his respects to his Majesty, and invite him to make a short stay the next day at Baden. In the evening, there was a grand banquet at the pre fecture, to which his Majesty invited the principal authorities ; and afterwards the Imperial party honoured the theatre with their presence. It is believed that the Emperor will return from Germany by Forbach and Metz. This latter town has voted 30,000 fr. towards the expense of properly receiving his Majesty, who is expected to arrive there it :the evening of the 28th. At the sitting of the Court of Assizes Thursday, in the case of the Northern Railway robberies, the public prosecutor addressed the jury in support of the indictment. M. Lachaul afterwards pleaded for Carpentier, representing him as a victim of the passion for gold and for Stock Exchange gambling which characterises the epoch. He deplored that, at the early age of 25, the " fearful responsibility" of the post of cashier of a great enterprise like the Notthern Railway had been imposed on him. He had at first only taken shares in the belief that by the use of them he might realise a large fortune, and his firm intention had been to restore them. The learned advocate passed in review all the facts regarding the prisoner, represent ing them in an as favourable a light as possible, and concluded by imploring the indulgence of the jury. In the course of his speech the learned. gentleman made some sharp observations on the manner in which the advocates employed by Car pentier in the United States had acted, and said that their " wretched subtleties" and mode of ad vocacy had so disgusted the prisoner that he had resolved to give himself up to the justice of his country. During all the time the counsel was speaking, Carpentier wept bitterly. M. Desma rets pleaded for Grellet, .2nd dwelt particularly on the fact, as an extenuating circumstance in his fa vour, that he had made the fullest disclosures. M. Dufaure then proceeded to address the jury for Parod, and he had not concluded when the Court rose. _ ----- The Siecle pays the following tribute to the ser vices rendered by England to civilisation : " We must say to the merit of England that she the arst renounced European conquests. She transferred her ambition to other climes, and has had the immense honour of giving birth to one of the greatest nations of the world—to America, the land of liberty par excellence. Her conquests have always almost been conquests of commerce and civilisation. Russia, Austria, Prussia, have extended their dominions at the expense of free Eu ropean nations whose nationality they have destroyer!, whose development they stifled. The English have not committed this crime. In this respect they resemble France and have nothing to restore. They have sought for the elements of their expansion beyond Europe. They have peopled the solitudes of America, and have called to life the new world .of Meeania. f, in be coming masters of India by the course of events, they have not changed its condition, we must likewise take into account time and the immensity of the difficulties. But they have effected great deeds in India, and in order to appreciate English rule in that peninsula, we must reflect on its condition previous to the conquest, when millions of men perished in religious wars, as in the rise and decline of empires. Tee massacres which now inspire horror in all Europe would have been con siderel mere pastime before the advent of British rule." Our contemporary concludes by stating that the greatne3s of England forms, at the present mo ment, one of • the conditions of universal security, and that her disappearance from the rank of great nations "would produce an inconceivable cat A clysin, for barbarism would rise to life in a thou sand points of the globe and destroy commerce for centuries to come.'

The Ausrian, Gazette stated a day or two back thAt . the Bassi:ins are constructing a fortress on Mount Mithridate3, at Kerteh, to defend the en• trance of the Sea of Azoff. The Austrian journ confounds Kertch with Jeni Kale. The first of these two towns is situated at the extremity of a bay upwards of three miles long, and is not a stra tegical point ; and it has consequently never been and is not to be defended. But the Russians have restored and armed anew, as they had the right to Rio, i o, the fortress of Jeni Kale, which is situated n the narrowest part of the strait, and commands them throughout all their length. Placed in a dominating situation, this fertres3 is sufficient to defend the entrance to the Sea of Azoff. A letter from Vienna states that a reduction in the Austrian army, especially in that in Italy, is to take place after the autumn manoeuvres shall be concluded. The King of Prussia has nominated Marshal de Wrangel Governor of Berlin—a post which has not been occupied since the death of Baron Muffling. All the superior officers, with the exception of the princes of the blood, are under the orders of the governor. Lieutenant-General Prince Augustus of Wurtemburg, has been promoted from the com mand of the 2d division of the guard to that of the 3d corps d'armee ; Prince Frederick Charles has been promoted from the command of the Ist division of the guard to that of the 2d ; and General BODill, of the King's suite, has been nominated commander of the Ist division. On the first day of the fetes at Brussels, a dis tribution of medals to persons who had distinguished themselves by acts of devotednesss was made, the Duke and Duchess de Brabant being present at it. In the evening a grand military retreat was exe cuted in the park by all the drummers and trum peters of the garrison. Yesterday, as part of the rejoicings, a number of societies of musicians, archers, carbineers, crossbowmen, arrived, at Brussels from various towns and villages, and were passed in review by the Duke de Brabant, after which they made a grand procession through the principal street. The Chroniquer of Berne says " The Federal commissioners in the canton of Vaud have been directed to recommend the government of the canton to execute the Federal decrees ; but they are empowered to ascertain from personal inquiry whether or not the time allowed for the examination of the railway plans be sufficient. If Vaud persists in refusing to allow the plans to be deposited in the communes, the commissioners aro to see that the deposit be effected, and in the mean time the works of the railway are to be proceeded with. Lastly, if Vaud refuses to nominate a mew' ber of the commission on the railway, they are to recommend a fit and proper person." The Madrid journals of the 21st are without in' torest. Some of them state that rumours of changes in the ministry were current. A letter from the Havaunah says that confidence had returned, 8 13 '1 that discounts had fallen from 24 to 12 per cent. It adds that the preparations against Mexico had beea suspended. --- Sir James Hudson; British Minister to the Court of Turin, gave a grand farewell banquet on the 22 ,1 to the Duc de Grammont, late French A m bassador, to that Court, and now promoted to the Embassy 01 Rome. Among the guests were most of the olorl * hers of the Diplomatic Body, and Count do Sku mour, Secretary-General of the Foreign Depart' ment.

He pleaded guilty of culpable homi cide, but the plea was not accepted, and he was found g uilty of murder, and sentenced to be hung at Aberdee n the 21st of October. James Bo oth, THE MURDER NEAR NOTTINGHAM FOREST.---The perpetrators of this crime (a short account of which :IP ' peered in The Sun on Monday) have not yet been die covered. Two men were apprehended on suspision• but the evidence not being satisfactory against theta they have been discharged. An inquiry has been commenced before the coroner, and was adjourned till Monday. THE MAILS, &I.—SOUTHAMPTON, Friday.—The Pepin' ruler and Oriental Company's steamship Alhambra , Captain J. K. Joy, arrived hero this morning {NO London, having completed the repairs of her macrlinery. This vessel is now appointed to take out the Peninsular mails on Monday next.

Langdou has been appointed to the command of the Royal mail steame r Tyne, which leaves with the Brazilian and River Plat e mails on the 9th pros. THE TELEGRAPH BETWEEN LIVERPOOL AND IDLY' HDAD.—The only means at present in use at Liverpool by which intelligence can be obtained of the arrival of vessels off the part is the old semaphore signal, which of course, useless in times of fog. The propriety.el introducing the electric telegraph has lately occuP" the attention of the Dock Committee, which body Are now advertising for contracts for the construction of line of electric telegraph from Liverpool to Holyhee3' including communication with the semaph ore station s % EaTHE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—Advises from Pale rn3 ','l state that the electric telegraph between Malta Ir y Sicily will be ready by the middle of October, a nd te e the British Government will then only have to put w doe the cable between Alexandria and Malta to bring Bulli bay within 15 days of London. It is added that he" the submarine cable is not laid down between CeO and Malta, the admiral at the latter port can conelle°111; crate the Indian news to the British Government /31 sending a dispatch-boat to Reggio, in the Straits.% Messina, where the electric wires are in cornmunioe"io with Naples ; so that the British vice-consul at R e g Go could transmit the dispatch to the consul at Naples) could send it on at once to Lord Clarendon, by " means some hours would be saved. THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH has been in full opera ti t ll o at Falmouth for about a month, and has proved fit of glee to a great boon to thats port, and g reat be ee lee to the numerous ships arriving at it, as it COa the masters of vessels to cimmonicate at once with t 0 , owners. The harbour of Falmouth being the most w e ll terly in the British Channel has for maul, years he e l , made a port of call for vessels proceeding to and erralof ing from foreign localities. It need hardly be eel° i e• what importance such a harbour must be to th e 10. 01 time interests of the country ; situated at a critical P e & in the English" Channel on the meridian of th e ter be nation of the coast of Franca westward. It unl i et nie s evident, that a few miles westing in the run zeroes Jribe that point, will carry a vessel clear of Ushant in to n o Bay of Biscay, and it must also be evident, that . 11 ,7 b0 any point of land, only eight or ten miles farther to eastward, it could not be effected with the same N erg ::3 and that every league farther eastward must mere be the difficulty, until it becomes altogether hopeless t° be accomplished with the same wind by which it 011 , ie effected from the meridian of Falmouth. Thus ," at clear that vessels might sail from Falmouth, wh il° 4l, Plymouth, about 50 miles to the east ard, they we' not be able to leave the port. - ors SALOON OMNIBUS COMPANY.—The first ennuis, ree 00 of the directors of the Metropolitan Saloon Oraoibsi% Company (Limited) states that on the 13th of APr il be omnibuses were placed upon the roads of the m etrop eol —viz., one running from Holloway to the city, two fr e ,„ Notting-hill to the city, one from Stoke Nevvingtoori% the city, one from Stoke Newiogton to th e West -e and one from Dalston to the city.
