THE WAR.

The Times has received its letters from the Camp of the
Allied Armies on the Tchernaya, to the 9th inclusive :—The
only points of interest are, that the Russians are still busy in
throwing up works on every available spot of the north side
of the harbour. The Allies continued road making and dril-
ling. The Highlanders are to•winter on the spot where they
are.

The Times' Paris correspondent writes :—Private letters
from officers in the French army state that the Russians will
avoid as much as possible giving battle in or out of their in.
trenched positions. Some of the officers are even of the
opinion that Prince Gortschakoff, seeing no possibility of
keeping his communications open and regularly receiving
supplies, was actually preparing to evacuate the Crimea. A
confidential letter addressed by the Russian General-in-Chief
to Prince Paskiewitch at Warsaw, is said to mention such a
movement as probable, if not unavoidable.

THE FUNDS, STOCK, AND SHARE MARKET.

but, on some sales, declined nearly per cent. Railway,

LONDON Cosy MARKET.—(From Kingsford and Lay's
Circular.)—The supply of Essex and Kent Wheat was mode-
rate, and, on sales effected, an advance of 2s. upon this day
week was established, but some portion remained unsold at a
late hour. The business in Foreign was small, and no im-
provement upon extreme rates of Monday. The finest sorts
of Malting Barley bring fully last week's prices. Other
qualities dull and rather lower. Beaus and Peas scarce and
rather dearer. Fine old Oats bring late rates ; but new are
slow of sale and a little cheaper. The top price of Town-
made Flour remained at 755. Other kinds bring an advance
of ls. to 2s.

GAROTTE ROBBERY.—Two men, named Patrick Furlong
and John Clark, were yesterday brought before the police-
court, charged with assaulting and robbing a butcher, named
James Quin, in Blackstock-street, on Sunday night, about
half-past eleven o'clock. From the statement of Quin, it
appeared that, as he was proceeding along the street, at the
time mentioned, he was suddenly jostled by some one or other,
and before he could ascertain anything about the matter, he
was seized by the cravat and nearly choked. By this means
he was rendered unable to speak, and was made nearly insen-
sible. While in this condition his pocket was rifled, and one
pound five shillings taken out of it. The prisoners, he was
sure, were of the party who attacked him ; but there were
also two others who had not been apprehended. The prose-
cutor was quite sober at the time. The case was remanded
till this day, to afford time to bring forward evidence.
