The reverend doctor quoted at considerable length from Burns' well-known poem, the " Advice to a Young Friend." In con clusion, Dr. M`Neile urged strongly upon the female portion of the community the great services they could render to the association and to society at large,. by using the influence they possessed as mothers, wives, and sisters. He entreated them to use that influence, and in doing so they might rest assured that a blessing would follow their efforts. He advised the young men to abstain from all amusements which they could not invite their mothers, wives, or sisters to participate in. At the conclusion of his address the reverend doctor was much applauded. A hymn was sung, during which a collection was made. The Rev. H. GRIFFITHS then briefly addressed the meeting on the necessity for prayer. In the course of his address he dwelt forcibly on the Divine injunction to "pray always," and gave many forcible illustrations of its efficacy. The Rev. S. bliraort, on rising, was received with applause. He stated his cordial approbation of the objects of the society, and expressed satisfaction at knowing that it was making such progress in this town, as was clearly indicated by the large and important meeting now assembled. Mr. R. A. MIME moved the thanks of the meeting and of the association to the Chairman, and also to the different gentlemen, lay and clerical, who lent it their countenance, and in a particular manner to those who had delivered lec tures to the members. _ _ _ Mr. JonN CEOPPEU seconded the motion, which was adopted by acclamation. The Rev. V. M. WRITE pronounced the benediction, and the meeting separated. WAVERTREE BOARD OF HEALTH. ME monthly meeting of this board was held last night in the Public Offices. The chair was occupied by the Rev. W. Badnall, and there were also present Messrs. Hal head, Hill, Anderton, Bradburn, Gore, Chaffer, and Rishton. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read by Mr. Atherton, the law clerk, they were confirmed. The CHAIRMAN then called attention to the circumstances of the nuisance on the premises of Mr. Fingland, which had been so frequently brought under the notice of the board. In reference to this sahiect, he read a letter he had received from Mr. Whitley, on the part of the Marquis of Salisbury, complaining of the nuisance, and requesting that they would immediately take measures for having it abated. He ex plained that, on receiving the letter, he along with Mr. Davies visited the premises, where they met with Mr. Fingland, who stated his willingness to do everything that was necessary to remove any reasonable ground of complaint. Subsequently, he (the Chairman), in his private capacity, visited the pre mises, and 'there met Mr. Picton along with Mr. Fingland, the formerof whom persisted in addressing him as chairman of the board, which he disclaimed. In the meantime, however, no improVement had been effected. la course of the day of the present greeting he had had transmitted to him, by Mr. Whitley, the copy of a letter addressed to hini the noble Marquis, instructing him to adopt such steps by erecting a barrierbetween the property of himself and Mr. Hope, if the Boara did not immediately see the nuisance removed. Several members expressed 'themselves to the effect that the matter was one in which thel.aard could only interfere in the matter in the ordinary way, by giving nafice that whatever nnisance existed should be abated. Mr. HA.LICEAD, after remarking that the business of the 'board was to deal with ihe nuisance in such a way as to cause ?its removal, but not to prescribe the exact manner in which `that was to be effected, moved that the Law-clerk be in structed to serve a 'notice upon Mr. Vingland to have the nuisance abated.; and that it be also an instruction to the Law-clerk to comnitnikate to Mr. iWhitley the purkort of this resolution, expresSing at the 'same 'time the anxnins desire entertained by the board to have the nuisance abated. Mr. ;Cua.rr•ntt 'seconded the resolution, which was unani mously adopted. The CHAIRMAN then read a memorial presented by Mr. J. A. Picton, in his Own name, And that of two ladies, who, like himself, 'were owners 6f property in Olive Mount. The memorial complained that the *ewer in that district had' been made 23 tea deep, whereas a depth of seven or eight feet would havebeen sufficient. This, it was stated in the mono rial, had occasioned great.adlational and unnecessary expense, which could not be of any use or benefit to the owners Of the property Tor a very long pekiod. Mr. RtatTON said' he could not avoid thinking such a reemoriiil was the last soft ol thing he should have expetted from Mr.' Picton, on such a subject. That gentleman was himself - v. member of the hoard at the time the works spoken of hati'been undertaken, and took an active' hand in them, having made several motions on the subject of their coreStrue tion. It came, therefore, with a bad grace from him to ,cora plaire of acts to whkh he was himself a„party. If he aid not know the expense of the sewer, and was not conversant with It iu all its details, ict was his own tattlt.; he had ample oppor tunits of becoming se, and he, therefore, ought not to en deavour to get out cif the responsibility attached to works to the adoption of will& be was not merely a'consenting but an acting party. `-Several other members expressed "themselves. in a similar ,:strain. ' Mr. CirArrzn 'expressed his surprise that such a me unorial should have emanated from 'Mr: Picton; who 'was him iself in actual recci4st of benefit from the work of which he -complained. He had had plans andsections of the, work sub ,mitted to him .before it was begun, and' he concurred in it. 'To his mind, the memorial seemed the production of a dig- Tontented man. If Mr. Picton-was dissatisfied, that he could not sit with them, and participate in their deliberations, it was no fault of any member of thaboard. It was his own in attention to the.duties of the board which had occasioned his disqualification. The CHAIRMAN explained that Mr.. Picton hdd•stated his absence was -occasioned by no•carelessness of the• interests of the board, but had been caused tby unavoidable absence in London and der places on -business. The subject then dropped. Several-as-were ordered to te;paid, and after the transac tion of some routine business the meeting separated. BODY or =dN INFANT Fotnrn.—Yesterday, the body of a newly-borrrchild was found in St. John's churchyard by the sexton. The body was enclosed in a small box. CHILD SCALDED TO. DEATH.—On' Friday last, Elizabeth Wilson, three years old, who resided with her parents in Salisbury-street, was so scalded; by the accidental upsetting of a tea kettle, as to cause her death on the following day. Surrosro SUICIDE.—On Saturday night, a labourer n amed James Forrester, who resided in Short-street, was found suspended by the neck in his bed-room, and quite dead. Deceased, who was about forty years of age, and had been much addicted to liquor, had several times threatened that he would put an end to himself. LITERIRY•AND PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY.—A meeting of this society was held last night, at the Roya l Inst i tution, Col quitt-street, the. Rev. H. H. Higgins in the chair. Mr.dlichard Brooke was elected an ordinary , member. The . Rev. J. Bobberds read an interesting paper on "Poetry, and its appl.ication to Common Life;" which was followed by an animated discussion. The meeting shortly afterwards broke , up. CHILD BURNED TO DEATH.—Onfruesday, the 30(14 last month, a child named John Gilberteon, two years old, who resided with his parents in Bell-street, was left along with another child of three years old in the house by the mother of the former. While she was absent the two seem to have been tampering .with some paper and the fire, when the clothes of the youngest caught fire, and he was so burned that he required to be taken to the Southern Hospital, where he died on Saturday night, FRENCH TABLE VHOTE.—The lovers.of a good and palata ble dinner a la Francais will find themselves amply accom modated and gratified at the table tl'ldle of Mr. Morrish, at the Merchants' Dining-rooms, Lancaster-buildings. At this -establishment an adtnirable dinner of five or six courses, con .-sisting of soup, fish, and, made dishes, together with fowl, may tbe obtained on the same scale as the celebrated three-frane dinners of the Parisian restaurateur. Dinner-wines of a light character and finediavour may be had it,la carte. • LITTLE BRIGHTON, NUR WATERLOO.—On Tuesday last, the new school, which has been in the course of erection in this place, was opened with a series of most interesting ser vices. The building is in the. Gothic style, and, for its size, is oneof the handsomest and most convenient edifices of the kind- which we remember baying, seen. It, has can built after a plan gratuitously made by Messrs. J. W. and J. Hay, archi tects,,Cable-street. The ground was generously given for the purpose d Tho mas wobyrkwas de Eccles,ed, Es a n q a , o b fy whose .

At one o'clock, a , IROSt substantial dinner of roast beef and plum pudding, and several other good-things of a like nature, was given to the children,.and • the workmen employed in the erection of the school. At six o'cleek, there was a tea meeting for the parents of the-children,, and the in habitants of the place. The admission was ;by ticket, hut both entertainments were given by Mr. aid Mrs. Eccles, who.have always shown such deep interest in the spiritual welfare of their poorer neighbours. After tea, the Rev. Geo. Troughton took the chair, and addresses were delivered by the Rev. Dr. Hume and the Rev.. . S. B. Sutton. The proceedings through out were of the most pleasing and interesting lcind, and we sincerely hope they will prove the commencement ofgreat and lasting good. There is.still a debt of £l5O, and we hope the Christian public will generously and speedily remove ft. There was a large bonfire and a display of fireworks at the conclusion ,of the proceedings, which gave great satisfaction—especially to the juveniles. SOCIETY.—Ou Thursday, the first meeting of the literary section of this society was held in St. George's hall, Dr. Thom in the chair. Dr. Hume exhibited an ancient sheep hell, found near Holyhead ; also a crystallised stone formed by the action of fire, resembling the basalt pillars for ming the Giant's Causeway.—Mr. Danson read some written remarks, as s criticisms on Mr. Buxton's paper on the Saxon element in our poetry, read on the Ist instant.—Mr. Buxton, who had seen Mr. Danson's criticism, read a reply, supporting the views he expressed in his original paper, and expressing an opinion that the difference between hha and Mr. Denson was more nominal than real.—Mr. Danson, in a brief reply, admitted that he had misunderstood some portions of Mr. Buxton's paper.—Mr. Denson read a paper on the area and the increase of the population of Liverpool during the last 50 years. After tracing the increase of population in Liverpool through the eighteenth century, he rejected the area of the parish or the out-township as a basis for estimating the popu lation, and laid it down as a principle that the area of a town increased with the increase of population, and then asked the question, What degree of density constituted a town ? He assumed an average density of 100 persons to the acre consti tuted a town, and a density of 10 persons to the acre consti tuted a suburb, and a density of 50 persons to one hundred acres the country. He assigned the area of 21 townships in Lancanshire and Cheshire as the area of the population of Liverpool, and based upon the assumption of population before stated, he showed by a series of figures the progressive increase of Liverpool and Birkenhead, when the latter ceased to be come country, assume the appearance of a suburb, and eventu ally that of a town, remarking that the apparent decrease of population in the town of Liverpool, or rather an apparent standstill in the increase of its population, was caused by the facilities of locomotion hr the present day, and the place of sleeping being the place for which the census returns were made.—A discussion followed, in which the chairman, Mr. Boult, Dr. Hume, and other gentlemen took part, and the business concluded. SOUPS READY at TEN O'CLOCK. MORRISH'S MERCHANTS' DINING-ROOMS, LANCASTER-BUILDINGS , TITHEBARN-STREET, LIVERPOOL. HARE SOUP I GIBLET Bd. TURTLE ...... 16. 6d. COMMERCIAL and 'MONETARY NEWS. MONDAY NIGHT. THE Money-market during the week has presented, on the whole, a favourable aspect, notwithstanding that no reduction has been made by the Bank of Eng land in the minimum rate of discount. The fluctua tions in the Public Funds have been of an upward character, owing to the increased confidence in mone tary resources, and the advance on the whole is nearly 2 per cent. Money for commercial purposes has been in good demand, but at rates, for first-class paper, somewhat below that fixed by the Bank of England ; while on the Stock Exchange money has been at com mand for about 3 per cent. Another instalment of 10 per cent. on the British Loan of £16,000,000 will fall due on the 20th inst., and three days after, an in stalment of 15 per cent., or £750,000, on the Turkish Loan, will be payable. The late arrivals of specie have been but moderate, but further receipts are expected shortly ; and as, no doubt, preparations have been made to meet the instalments on the loans, it is not antici pated that they will exercise any serious influence on the market. The Bank of Dublin has announced an increase in the rate of discount from 5 to 6 per cent, and the Royal Bank of Prussia has raised the rate of discount on commercial paper from 4 to 41 per cent., and the interest on loans, upon public funds, and other securities, from s_to 51 per cent. The returns of the Bank of England, published on Friday, show a decrease in the stock of bullion in both departments to the extent of £3,731; but as the de crease is, to a larger extent, in the banking department, with an increase in the issue department, upon which the amount of issue depends, and accompanied also by a decrease in the circulation of £339,045, the reserve of notes unemployed, which 'is the real surplus, shows an increase, to the amount of £381,905, the public deposits have again decreased tothe extent of £330,860, owing to the payments on account of the government exceeding the receipts, and there is also a decrease in private deposits of £366,879 ; so that, allowing for the decrease in the circulation of notes, there is ample to account for the small diminution in the stock of bullion. Another decrease in private securities of £179,052, shows that the demand for accommodation is lessening, or being satisfied 'from other sources; so that, on the whole, the statement may be deemed satisfactory. The total receipts of Specie during the week have been about £200,000, and the whole of this has been re-exported. Much attention has been necessarily excited by the rapid and continuous rise which has taken place in Sugar, and the increase also in the market-price of al most every article in general consumption. An ad vance of threepence a lb. in the price of Sugar, with the prospect of a still further rise, is attributed to the shortness of stocks, the redudtien in supplies, and the' continued large consumption. It is stated, however, that . there is no want of supplies in the 'West Indies, .which is kept back owing to 'the difficultyof obtaining freights at a moderate late. Whatever may be the cause, it is evident thdt higher prices will render ne cessary a larger amount of gold in circulation, and account of itself for diminished stocks in the Bank .coffers, so that if the restrictions imposed by the :Bank Charter Act.be allowed to. continue, we shall be burning the candle !fit both ends, by compelling the retention of anseless 'hoard at the very time when the gold is most wanted for its legitimate employment as the medium of circulation. We quote "the 'following remarks from Messrs.V. and H. larrntrtAtE and Co.'s monthly circular : Notwithstanding' the stri' ngeney ,, cf the money market, a fair extent of-business has been done in our different produce markets duringthe past month. The article attracting most 'attention has been sugar, which • has taken a further rise of 12s. to 15s. per cwt. since our last circular, and this -simply from the great deficiency in stock and expected arrivals for the remainder of the year. During the last ten days there has been a•general demand both from the trade andepecula tors, increasing in excitement each day, and a further ad vance of 'los. to 12s. has been established; at these prices the impression - is, that we must have a further advance before we tan receive anything like adequate supplies. The stock in the four ports is only 62,000'tous, against 152,000; showing a deficiency-of 90,000 tons, 55,000 of which deficiency is esti mated in L0nd0n,.20,000 here, and 15,000 in the Clyde and Bristol. The consumption is progressing satisfactorily, not withstanding the advanced prices demanded by the grocers -50 per -ant. on moist, from 441. per lb. to 6d.—and will be about on a par with the last-year. Molasses have,participated in the advance in sugar, and good to fine West India are worth/Bs. to 295. The London sugar market lime again ex cited yesterday, and a further advance of 3s. to 4s. was estab lished.

In: Manchester, the %market for manufactured goods has'been in rather an uneasy state, owing. to the un willingness of buyers 'to give the advanced prices de manded, and which have been rendered necessary by the rise in the raw material ; still there hasTbeen.a fair amount of busines done both for the China.market and kr Germany, and yarns, as well as manufactured goods, arosaleable at improved prices. There is-a threat of an extensive turn-out, owing to some of the masters having given notice of a. reduction in thorate of wages, a measure which is very naturally ,resisted at a time when the price of ..all necessaries is so high, but it is hoped that some arrangement will be come to by NthiCh a resort to-a turn-out may be avoided. In the '.Woollen trade there. is very little to notice, there being a fair amount of business transacted, and prices re main without alteration. The Hosiery and Lace trades are also steady.

Coffee has also been in good request, nearly 1600 bags Rio being reported at 40s. 6d. to 465. per cwt., being higher prices. Com mon Congou Tea must now be quoted at 10d. per lb. ; a few hundred - chests were placed during the day at 9d. and 92d.; - but owing to a reported sudden advance in the London market, holders now refuse to sell, and 91d. per lb. has been freely declined.

Of Baltic timber there is a very light stock, and neither arrivals nor sales to report. WooL.-Rdtler more confidence has been expe rienced in the wool market during the past week, and the public lales in London have also improved within the last few days ; there is, however, no business of any moment to report, and prices without alteration. The imports of the week are-1,270 bales Peruvian, 446 East 'lndia, 89 Californian, 46 Poilugal, 299 Me diterranean, 1 German, 36 Scotch, and 17 Irish ; total, 2,204 bales. MARKETS FOR MANTIFACTURES. ItancinsrEa.—There has been a more marked improve 'merit in the tone of the market this week, and a more cheer ful confidentleeling than we have been able to report for -same time past. The actual amount-of business has not been generally very extensive; but in particular instances, and for 'certain description of goods and yarns, some large transac tions have been entered upon. This 'has been more particu larly the case as regards India and China exports. The accounts from India, at the'beginning of the week, were, on the whole, favourable ; and those from China open up a pros pect of greater commercial activity. Under these circum stances, a more extended inquiry was experienced, and as the monetary facilities'have'been greater than for several previous weeks, the inquiry has not been confined exclusively to fabrics and yarns for the East, but has been participated in by other descriptions. Yarns'have been in active request throughout the week, with aTurther advance in price. For India there has been a steady inquiry, at gradually hardening prices. Water yarns for export to China (16's to '24's) have been in considerable demand,. at an advance of fully -id. per lb. The German houseslave also been more in the market, and have had to pay similarly advanced rates. The demand for home use has been larger, and spinners, backed by the upward move ment of •cotton in Liverpool, have demanded and obtained more money for'both weft and warps. Spinners have been very firm in their demands of higher prices, to which they were alike impelled by the demand and the rising value of cotton. Goods are not' so universally affected as yarns ; never theless, the demand for India and China descriptions is also accompanied by operations in other sorts. Shirtings for China and long cloths have been in good request at higher values ; and stocks, which a few weeks ago were becoming heavy, have been cleared off, and in many instances manufac turers have orders on hand which will require several weeks to complete. With the above exceptions, there is no very great changein goods. Jacconetts are in pretty good request, and T cloths have been rather more inquired for, as has also been the case with respect to some descriptions of printers; which are, however, for the most part, dull of sale. Domestics are firm, but it is difficult to realise any advance. Manchester Courier. .ROCIEDAIM—A dull and flat market, and the merchants have, when they have purchased, given a shade less for pieces. The wool market continues inactive, and prices are rather in favour of the manufacturer. HIIDDERSFIELD.—There is no difference to notice hi this market. Everything has been very flat ; and the few buyers who have been about have bought nothing but what they were in immediate want of. Prices are about the same. LEEDS.—Very dull markets at the Cloth Halls, but not more so than is usually the case at the close of the season. Prices without alteration ; and the stocks being low in the clothiers' hands, the mills continue to be well employed. Although - there has been a number of buyers in the town this week, their purchases have been light, and business in the warehouses has been to a less amount than for some time past. BRADFORD.—WOOI : The purchases of wool continue of a limited character, and the holders offer no inducement to more active operations. Yarns The -stoppage of spinning ma chinery continues to be adopted, for no one can stock spools, and for reeled yarns there is no one disposed to spin, except to order, the prices current .offering no inducement to take any other coarse. Pieces : The merchants buy very sparingly, merely to assort their stocks, and altogether the trade is very inanimate. LEICESTER. — Trade remains much as last reported. No further decline has taken place in prices of woollen yarns, al though the spinners complain of less business doing. They say the price of wool does not warrant reductions. NOTTINGIU.SI. — In the lace trade there was a better demand for most classes of goods. Several American buyers are in the market giving out their orders, which are, no doubt, smaller than they would have been, had the market been easier. The home demand is dull, but not more so than is usual-at this period. Hosiery : There is a fair business doing in some branches of the trade, particularly with the American markets, but others are comparatively quiet. The trade is believed to be sound in the main, and manufacturers in general are acting with great judgment and prudence in the conduct of their business at this crisis. THEFT BY A 'SERVANT. Yesterday, a young woman named Sarah Mullie, who had been a servant in the public house kept by Mr. Moorcroft, in Commutation-row, was brought before the Police-court on a charge of stealing a steel knife-sharpener, the property of her employer, in whose service she had only been two days. The theft was clearly proved, and she was sentenced to be imprisoned for fourteen days. STEALING BLOCK-TIN. A man, whose name did not transpire., was yesterday charged before J. A. Tobin, Esq., at the Police-court, with the theft of about 35 lbs. of block-tin, from the ship Caroline Chisholm, lying in the Prince's Dock. The tin, which was cast in thin slips, formed part .of the vessel's tarp, and had been packed in barrels, which were stowed on board. The prisoner had obtained access to the ship, and abstracted the quantity he was charged with steal ing. The property was found on him as he was leaving the vessel; and, being an old offender, he was sentenced to be imprisoned for three months. Tax LATE ARCHDEACON BROOKS.—The public meeting having decided on the memorial to the late Venerable Arch deacon Brooks taking the form of a marble statue, to be erected in St. George's-hall, some little interest is excited on the selection of an artist for the execution of the statue. It is said that an application has been made to Mr. Gibbon, at Rome, but the statement is not credited. In the first place, he has more orders on hand than he can well execute; and again, he is not happy in portrait statuary, his great forte being the poetry of his art. Mr. Macßride, of this town, who, some time since, made an excellent bust of the late Archdeacon, has recently executed a full-length model, which may be seen at Mr. Westcott's rooms, in Church-street. The artist is well known, having succeeded in producing several admirable like nesses of Liverpool worthies. A SAILOR'S SIMPLICITY.—A good-looking though obviously a simple-minded man, who gave his name as John Tinley, and said he was a sailor, applied to the sitting magistrate, at the Police-court, yesterday, under the following circum stances. Tinley said he was born at Sevenoaks, in Kent, but had gone on board ship when he was a mere boy ; had traded chiefly to the coast of Africa, and had been but very little in England from his boyhood. A short time since he arrived in Liverpool, and on Saturday last he was met in St. John's-lane, by a man named George Hockey, now in custody, who was dressed as a sailor, and offered to sell Tinley some bargains, commencing with tobacco. Never doubting that all sailors were as simple-minded as himself, Tinley struck a bargain for two lbs. Hockey perceiving that he had a flat to deal with, requested his customer to go with him and inspect some other bargains, which the latter accordingly did. On reaching the place referred to, Hockey showed his dupe a light-colourede mbroidered crape shawl, which he assured the simple Tinley was of genuine Chinese manufacture, and dirt cheap at twelve dollars. The unsuspecting sailor, being desirous of presenting a young woman, his niece, with some thing handsome, thought the shawl in question was the very article, and after some chaffering he purchased the shawl for a sovereign. Hockey next showed him some stuff which he represented as Chinese black satin, the piece being worth eight dollars. Of this valuable property Tinley became also the happy purchaser, for his niece, at another sovereign. Feeling reluctant to part with so good a customer and so well-disposed an uncle, Hockey once more essayed the extent of his credulity, and induced him to pur chase an elegant gold neck chain worth £ll or more in China ; and for which the liberal-minded Tinley disbursed a third sovereign, and picking up his prizes " made sail" for the dwelling of his niece, a modest and intelligent-looking girl, who, on being presented with the valuables, expressed her gratitude; but being shortly afterwards apprized of the prices paid for them, informed her kinsman that he had been regularly "done for." Tinley imme di ately s e t out in quest of his "merchant sailor," and falling in with him, taxed him with the cheat. This the other denied, and offered to refund the money except 6s. which he alleged he had spent. To the loss of the 6s. Tinley willingly assented, but the residue not being forthcoming, while Hockey endeavoured to bear off upon another tack, he was ultimately given into the hands of the police ; and the goods for which he had obtained three sovereigns were pronounced by judges not to be worth es. Hockey, who was defended by an attorney, averred that the transactions were bona fide sales. He was remanded for seven days, '1850589 423230 PuoDucz.---The excitement in the Sugar-market has continued without abatement, and the tot a l . quantity that has changed hands almost unprece dented : prices have been very irregular, but an advance of 3s. to 6s. per cwt. may be quoted.

A supplement of the Liralide Russe contains the following telegraphic despatch from Prince Gortschakoff : NICHOLAJEFF, Oct. 31. The camp on the Spit of Kinburn, between the suburb and the fortress, has been broken up by the enemy. It is still impossible to determine exactly the strength of the garrison they have left in Kinburn, Their light vessels; though in smaller number, continue at their anchorage in the Bay of Octzakoff, or cruise in the Liman,' entering the embouchures of the Bug and Dnieper, and taking soundings, but without ascending very far up those rivers, or even to the points they reached when they first appeared. The fleet, the number of which has again slightly decreased since yesterday, is moored in the same pOsition. [BY ELECTRIC & INTERNATIONAL TELEGRAPHS.] • LONDON, Monday Night.

The Earl of Clarendon has received a despatch from Major- General Williams, Her Majesty's Commissioner with the Turkish Army in Asia, of which the following is a copy : KARA, Oct, 3. My Lord,—l had the honour to announce to your'Lordship, on the - evening of the 29th ult., the glorious victory gained on the morning of that day by the Sultan's troops on the heights above Kars, over the Russian army commanded by General Muravieff, and I now beg to furnish your Lordship with the principal incidents of that sanguinary battle. Your Lordship will, perhaps, recollect that in my despatch, No. 123, of the 28th of June, I stated that the Russian Gene ral, after his second demonstration against the southern face of our•cntrenchments, which is flanked by Hafiz Pasha Tabia and Kanli Tabia, marched south, and established his camp at Bugah Tikine ' a village situated about four miles from Kars. Knowing that General Muravieff served in the army which took - Kars in 1828, I conceived his last manoeuvre to be pre paratory either to a reconnaissance, or an attack upon the heights of Tahmasb, whence the Russians successfully pushed their approaches in the year above cited. While, therefore, the enemy's columni were in march to wards Bugah Tikme, I visited those heights with Lieutenant Colonel Lake, and, after studying the ground, decided upon the nature of works to be thrown up ; these were planned and executed by Lieutenant-Colonel Lake with great skill and energy. I enclose for your Lordship's information a plan made by that officer of the . town and its. neighbouring heights, which are situated on the opposite side of the river of Kars Chai, over which three temporary bridges had been thrown to keep up our communications. As all verbal des criptions or bird'seye views of ground convey but au imperfect idea of any locality, I beg to enclose a sketch made by Mr. Churchill, which will, I trust, tend to elucidate my descrip tion. Your Lordship will observe that, while our camp and ma gazines in the town were rendered as safe as circumstFices would allow, the hills above Kars commanded all, and were, therefore, the keys of our position. The intrenchments of Talimasb, being those nearest the enemy's camp, demanded the greatest vigilance froni all in trusted with their defence. General Kmety, a gallant Hun garian officer, commanded the division which occupied this eminence; he was assisted by Major-General Hussein Pasha and my Aide-de-Camp, Major Teesdale, who has acted as his Chief of the Staff. Throughout the investment, which has now lasted four months, the troops in all the redoubts and iutrenchments have kept a vigilant look-out, during the night, and, at their ap pointed stations, stood to their arms long before day dawn. In my depatch, No. 155, of the 29th ult.; I informed your Lord ship of the arrival of the news of the fall of Sebastopol, and of the landing of Omar Pasha at Batoum. I also acquainted your Lordship with the fact that. the Russian General was engaged in sending off immense trains of heavy baggage into Georgia, and showing every indication of a speedy retreat. This in no wise threw as off our guard, and Lieutenant-Colonel Lake was directed to.strengthen many paints in our extensive and undermanned lines, and among other works the tabia bearing my name was constructed. At 4 o'clock on the eventful morning of the 29th the ene my's columns were reported to be advancing on the Tahmasb front. They were three in number, supported by 24 guns ; the first or right column being directed on Tahmasb Tabia, the second on Yukseh Tabia, and the third on the breastwork called Rennison Lines. As soon as the first gun announced the approach of the enemy the reserves were put under arms in a central position, from which succours could be despatched either to Tahmasb or the English lines. The mist and imperfect light of the dawning day induced the enemy to believe that he was about to surprise us ; he ad vanced with his usual steadiness and intrepidity ; but on getting within range he was saluted with a crushing fire of artillery from all points of the line. This unexpected recep tion, however, only drew forth loud hurrahs from the Russian infantry as it rushed up the hill on the redoubts and breast works. These works poured forth a fire of musketry and rifles which told with fearful effects on the close columns of attack, more especially on the left one, which, being opposed by a battalion of 450 Chasseurs, armed with Minid rifles, was, after long and desperate fighting, completely broken and sent head long down the hill, leaving 850 dead on the field, besides those carried off by their comrades. The central column precipitated itself on the redoubts of Tahmasb and Yuksek Tabias, where desperate fighting oc curred and lasted for several hours, the enemy being repulsed in all his attempts to enter the closed redoubts, which mutu ally flanked each other with their artillery and musketry, and made terrible havoc in the ranks of the assailants; and it was here that Generals Kmety and Hussein Pasha, together with Major Teesdale, so conspicuously displayed their courage and conduct. Lieutenant-General Kereen Pasha also repaired to the scene of desperate strife to encourage the troops, and was wounded in the shoulder and had two horses killed under him. The right column of the Russian infantry, supported by a battery, eventually turned the left flank of the intrenched wing of the Tahmasb defences ; and while the Russian bat tery opened in the rear of the closed redoubt at its salient angle, their infantry penetrated considerably behind our position. Observing the commencement of this movement, and anti cipating its consequences, Lieutenant-Colonel Lake, who had taken the direction of affairs in the English Tabias, was in structed to send a battalion from Fort Lake to the assistance of the defenders of Tahmasb, and, at the same time, two bat talions of the reserves were moved across the flying bridge, and upon the rocky height of Laz Jeppe Tabia. These three reinforcing columns met each other at that point, and being hidden from the enemy by the rocky nature of the ground, confronted him at a most opportune moment. They deployed, and opened their fire, which stopped and soon drove back the enemy's reserves, which were then vigorously charged with the bayonet, at the same moment when General Kmety and Major Teesdale issued from the redoubts at Tahmasb, and charged the assailants. The whole of that portion of the enemy's infantry and artillery now broke, and fled down the heights under a murderous fire of musketry. This occurred at half-past 11, after a combat of seven hours. In this part of the field the enemy had, including his re serves, 22 battalions of infantry, a large force of Dragoons and Cossacks, together with 32 guns. While this struggle which I have attempted to describe was occurring at Tahmasb a most severe combat was going on at the eastern position of the line, called the English Tabias. About half-past five o'clock, a.m., a Russian column, con sisting of eight battalions of infantry, three regiments of cavalry, and 16 guns, advanced from the valley of Tehakraak, and assaulted those small redoubts, which after as stout a resistance as their unavoidably feeble garrison could oppose, fell into their hands, together with the connecting breast works, defended by townsmen and mountaineers from La zistan, whose clannish flags, according to their custom, were planted before them on the epaulements, and, consequently, fell into the enemy's hands ; but ere the firing had begun in this portion of the field, Captain Thompson had received orders to send a battalion of infantry from each of the heights of Karadagh and Arab Tabia to reinforce the English lines. This reinforcement descended the deep gully through which flows the Kars river, passed a bridge recently thrown across it, and ascended the opposite precipitous bank by a zig-zag path which led into the line of works named by the Turks Inglik Tabias' (the English Batteries). Their arrival was as opportune as that of the reserves directed towards Talunasb, which I have had the honour to describe in the former part of this despatch. These battalions, joined to those directed by Lieutenant-Colonel Lake, gallantly attacked and drove the Russians out of the redoubts at the point of the bayonet, after the artillery of the enemy had been driven from those lines by the cross fire directed from Fort Lake and from Arab Tabia and from Karadagh, by Captain Thompson. This officer de serves my best thanks for having seized a favourable moment to remove a heavy gun from the eastern to the western ex tremity of Karadagh, and with it inflicted severe loss on the enemy. _ After the Russian infantry was driven from the English redoubts, the whole of their attacking force of cavalry, artil lery and infantry retreated with precipitation, plied with round shot from all the batteries bearing on their columns. During their temporary success, however, the enemy captured two of our light guns, which the mortality among our horses from famine prevented our withdrawing from their advanced position. He also carried off his wounded and many of his dead; yet he left 363 of the latter within and in front of these intrenchments ; and his retreat occurred at least an hour before the assailants of Tahmasb were put to flight. During this combat, which lasted nearly seven hours, the Turkish infantry, as well as artillery, fought with the most determined courage ; and, when it is recollected that they had worked on their entrenchments and guarded them by night throughout a period extending to nearly four months, I think your Lordship will admit that they have proved themselves worthy of the admiration of Europe, and established an un doubted claim to be placed among the most distinguished of its troops. With regard to the enemy, as long as there was a chance of success he persevered with undaunted courage, and the Russian officers displayed the greatest gallantry. Their loss was immense; they left on the field more than 6,000 dead, which it took the Turkish infantry four days to bury. Their wounded and prisoners in our possession amount to 160, while those who were carried off are said to be upwards of 7,000. As the garrison was afflicted with cholera, and I was appre hensive of a great increase of the malady, should this melan choly duty of the burial of the dead not be pushed forward with every possible vigour by our fatigued and jaded soldiers, I daily visited the scene of strife to encourage them in their almost endless task ; and I can assure your lordship that the whole battle-field presented a scene which is more easy to conceive 'than to describe, being literally covered with the enemy's dead and dying. The Turkish dead and wounded were removed on the night of the battle. The dead numbered 362, the wounded 631. The townspeople, who also fought with spirit, lost 101 men. unusual which period has shown ofee v e such u hours h o u a rs des of perat His Excellency the Mushir has reported to hi s government u g i h n an n t thearmy those officers who particularly disting u i s h e d th emselves—a valour dfffi u t t throughout unin terrupted combat.-1 have, &c., W.

CRIMEAN PIIOTOGRAPHS.—The splendid and interesting collection of Photographs, made in the Crimea, by Mr. Roger Fenton, is now in the course of exhibition here by Messrs. Agnew and Sons, of Manchester, at whose instance Mr. Fenton proceeded to the seat of war, for the express purpose of taking those truthful sun-pictures which are here displayed. The collection is to be published under the direct patronage of Her Majesty, the Emperor of the French, and Prince Albert. It embraces numerous views of the most celebrated scenes, correct representations of many incidents connected with the ever-memorable siege of Sebastopol, and a vast number of groups and individial portraits, whose names and achieve ments will form lasting ornaments in the page of history. The scenery is interesting on many accounts; and the series of eleven views, representing a panorama of the Plateau of Sebastopol, is suggestive of the most stirring emotions, con taining faithful delineations of Inkermann, Balaklava, Cath cart's Hill, Mackenzie Heights, and other places, as seen from a point in which, by turning round, the spectator could com mand the whole of them, though distant. Another panorama of interest is that of the country between Inkermann and Balaklava, in five tableaux ; and a third is that of Inkermann itself, including the Quarries, and the Valley of th e T c h ernaya . The collection is also rich in incidents of camp-life, consisting of groups of officers and soldiers, showing the pastimes of military men of every grade, in the intervals of actual service in the trenches. By far the most interesting portion of the collection, to many spectators at all events, will be found to consist of the various portraits of distinguished men who .pfl Amonga3 .y r cl rs tj c ah o le n sp s e p e si t eubrse, found a p a e r n t e s i r faithfulal 3 o t s h q e ekt greatnseisrs likenesses V. and fatal corodd drama. gtloann Sir J.

In every instance, the representation, whether of place, incident, or individual, is marked by that wonderful fidelity which constitutes the main charm of photographic pictures. The collection, which has been greatly admired by connoisseurs of every rank in London, will afford a high treat to those of our fellow -townsmen who take an - interest—and who does not P—in the subject of the Crimean war. LIE Ml•ron AT ST. PETER'S CIIIIRCH.—On Sunday the Mayor, John Stewart, Esq., attended St. Peter's Church, on the occasion of the annual sermon in aid of the Blue-coat Hospital. It is usual for the Mayor to be accompanied upon the occasion of his attending St. Peter's Church immediately after his election, by the members of the town council and some of the leading men of the town, and perhaps never on any occasion was there a larger attendance than on Sunday. The usual ceremonies were observed. The Mayor met the members of the town council and his other friends at the Town-hall. The boys from the Blue -coat School, headed by Mr. E. G. Deane, the treasurer, and the churchwardens, Messrs. Woodruff and Shaw, arrived in front of the Town-hall shortly before eleven o'clock. They formed the front of the proces sion. Immediately after them came thirty men of the fire brigade, under the command of Mr. Superintendent Hewitt, then the regalia of the corporation, and next the M ayor and the gentlemen who had assembled to accompany him to church. He was supported by Mr. T. B. Horsfall, M.P. for the borough, and the Rev. Rector Ca m pb e ll , the preacher for the day. The members of the council and the friends of Mr. Stewart followed. Amongst those present were Messrs. Alderman J. B. Moore, M.P., Charles Turner, Alderman J. H. Turner, H. Littledale, Ald erman Dover, Alderman Cooper, J. P. Campbell, J. Tyrer, Alderman Gardner, J. A. Tobin, (ex-mayor,) Alderman Robinson, Alderman Toulmin, W. s i t •e r i e i cl . , Potter, Alderman S. Holme, Alderman Shand, Alderman Bennett, Mr. J. Johnson, Woodruff, Shaw, C. Reade, T.
