CAPTURE OF THE MALAKHOFF.

The .31oniteur contains the following despatch, dated
Varna, Sept. 9th, 3.35 a.m. :

"The assault on the Malakhoff was made yesterday, at
noon. Its redoubts and the Redan of Careening Bay were
carried by storm by our brave soldiers with admirable
intrepidity. We immediately occupied ourselves in lodging
ourselves there; we succeeded in doing so at the Malakhoff.
The Redan of Careening Bay was not tenable, owing to the
heavy fire of artillery, which poured upon the first occupiers
of that work. Our solid installation cannot fail soon to make
it surrender, as also the Redan, of which our brave Alliei
carried the salient with their usual vigour, but, as was the
case at the Redan of Careening Bay, they were obliged to give
way before the enemy's artillery and powerful reserves. On
beholding our eagles floating on the Malakhoff, General de
Salles made two attacks on the Central Bastion. They did
not succeed. Our troops returned to their trenches. Our
losses are serious, and I cannot yet send a precise return. They
are amply compensated for, as the capture of the Malakhoff is
a success the consequences of which are immense.

The Globe says no further intelligence of the progress of
the assault has been received, but news of the capture of the
Redan is momentarily expected. The Central Bastion men-
tioned by General Pelissier is on the left attack in the direction
of the Quarantine Battery. It would thus appear that Sebas-
topol was assaulted on four points, namely, in the Redan of
Careening Bay on the right, the Malakhoff, the Great Redan,
and the Central Bastion, and that on the second and mos;
important of those points the assault was comparatively suc-
cessful. The advantage renders the fall of the Redan on each
side a matter of comparative certainty.

THE ATTEMPT ON THE LIFE OF THE EMPEROR,
The Times' Paris correspondent writes that, before the ser-
vant had time to open the door of the carriage, an individual,
who had been observed standing on the same spot for some
time, advanced and presented two small pistols, but before he
had time to discharge them into the carriage the police agents
struck down his arm and caused the bullets to pass under the
vehicle.

THE FUNDS, STOCK, AND SHARE MARKET.
In consequence of the announcement this morning of the
capture of the Malakoff, English funds opened at an advance
of per cent., but, from the extreme paucity of business, fell
during the day; prices gradually receded, and close only k per
cent. higher than on Saturday. Railway market tolerably
active, and quotations show an upward tendency. Land,
Bank, and Foreign Stocks generally supported. Canada Land
done at 150 49; Great Western of Canada, 241 1.

LONDON CORN MARKET.—(From Kingsford and Lay's
Circular.)—The supply of English Wheat was moderate, and
met a quick sale at 2s. to 3s. advance on the rates of this day
week. Owing to the indifference of holders to realise and the
high prices insisted on, sales of Foreign were very limited,
but upon the business done an improvement of 3s. upon
Monday last was obtained. Barley is., White Peas 2s.
dearer. Beans and Grey Peas bring fully late rates. Oats
met a quick sale at the prices of this day week. Top price of
Flour 725. per sack, and Spanish brings an advance of 2s. to
3s. Nearly 1,000 quarters of White Mustardseed at market,
and manufacturers not being disposed to pay the prices
demanded, no sales were effected.

AT THE BANKRUPTCY COURT, yesterday, Messrs. Crippin.
and Forster, the late lessees of Rock Ferry, came up before
Commissioner Stevenson, on their adjourned last examination.
In consequence of the unsatisfactory state of the balance-
sheet the case was further adjourned for five weeks. The
other business possessed no public interest.

twricicerCl=rged, was sent to gaol once more for three months,
having been caught in a warehouse in Harrington-street, yes-
terdaythetimesyesterday,committedCatherine morning, stealing corn.—John Mackenzie, who had
been ten times committed and twice discharged, was also sent
to gaol for three months, for stealing a coat from a cart going
along Waterloo-road.
"THE RUSSIAN WAR AND ITS RELIGIOUS ASPECT."—Such
was a portion of the title of a lecture delivered last night at
the Hope-hall to a very meagre audience by a gentleman
styling himself " George Bird, late rector of Cumberworth."
Mr. Bird some time ago left the communion of the Church of
England, on account of some peculiar doubts of his own
respecting her religious tenets, and now does not profess to be
anything in particular, having dropped even the accustomed
garb of a clergyman. In his discourse lasthe com-
menced by saying that secularists maintained that the present
war arose from religious views in respect to the Holy Places,
and was influenced by the predictions of the Gospel. In con-
tradiction to this, he maintained that the " true" Gospel had
no connection with such matters of dispute as " Holy Places,"
and that none of the present churches as
Mor-
monism, Mahommedanism, Protestantism, the Church of
England, or any of the religious denominations—constituted
a " pure" church. Further reference to Mr. Bird's views are
unnecessary.
INQUESTS YESTERDAY.—The following inquests were held
before the borough coroner yesterday :—Upon the body of
William James Haythornthwaite, seven years old, son of a
wood hoop maker, residing in 18, Court, Upper Mann-street,
who, on Saturday, the Ist instant, was being chased by a com-
panion, when he fell. The other fell over him, and when he
got up, his arm was broken; it was set by Dr. Bickerton, but
inflammation of the brain set in, and the boy died on
Saturday. Verdict : Accidentally killed.—On the body of
John Thomas, a japauner and chess-table maker, who lodged
with John Boddington, at 20, Finch-street. He had been
drinking for a week, and was found dead in bed yesterday
morning, according to medical testimony, from a fit of
apoplexy, brought on by drink. Verdict accordingly.—Upon
the body of Robert Creighton, of the ship Fairfield, lying in
Stanley Dock, who, while drunk about midnight on Saturday
night, fell into the hold of the brig Mary, lying alongside,
and was so much injured that he died onthe way
to the
secondond
Northern Hospital. There was a suspicion that
mate, Alexander Thorn, with whom he
lie was taken into had knocked him into the hold, and
no evidence to shoe
cus-
tody, but the jury deciding that there
wasldbewas released.—On the
how the deceased got into the ho
