Society's Agents as below.
All Policies expiring at Michaelmas should be renewed on or be-
fore the 14th of October, otherwise the liability of the office witl

From the well-known character and stability of the WEST-
MINSTER FIRE OFFICE, and the prompt and liberal manner
in which all just claims on its funds have been met for a period
of One Hundred and Thirty-eight Years, the Directors have the
greatest confidence in recommending it to the notice of Insurers,
and appealing for a large amount of support in those districts to
which they are now extending its business.
WESTMINSTER AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE

ASSOCIATION.
The Life Office, Established in 1836 by members of the
Westminster Fire Office, has been highly successful in its
operation. An economical management, a judicious adjustment
of the premium to the risk incurred, and a careful investment
of the Funds, have enabled the Directors to make additions to
Policies which have equalled One-half of the Premiums received.
Assurances effected during the current year, on the partici-
pating scale, will share in the ensuing division of profit, to be
declared 1857.

THE NEAPOLITAN QUESTION.

- - -
The Moniteur of Sunday publishes the following :
The Government of the Emperor has seen with deep regret
the publication of a letter on the subject of the affairs of
Naples of a nature to engender the belief that the policy of the
Emperor, instead of being frank and loyal, as it has always
been, towards foreign Governments, might favour, under-
hand, certain pretensions. The Government openly disavows
them, under whatever form they may appear.

CAVALRY ENGAGEMENT NEAR EUPATORIA

PARIS, Friday.
The following despatch, from General Pelissier, was posted
at the Bourse to-day, dated October 1, and addressed to the
Minister of War : _ _

A brilliant cavalry engagement took place on the 29th of
September, at Koughill, five leagues north-east of Eupatoria,
in which the Russian cavalry, commanded by General Korf,
was defeated by that of General d'Allonville.
Six guns, 12 caissons, and field forges, with their carriages,
fell into our hands, with 160 prisoners and 260 horses of the
Uhlans.

___.
The_ enemy left 50 dead upon the field of battle, among
whom is Colonel Andreawski. Our loss is small, consisting
of 6 killed and 27 wounded.

RUSSIAN VERSION OF THE CAPTURE OF
SEBASTOPOL.

THE first Russian version of the fall of Sebastopol is con-
tained in the following general order addressed by Prince
Gortschakoff to his troops, and in an incomplete report of the
progress of the siege published in the Invalide Russe :

GENERAL ORDER ADDRESSED TO THE ARMY OP THE SOUTH
AND TO THE LAND AND SEA TROOPS IN THE CRIMEA.

Head-quarters, Heights of Inkermann, in the vicinity
of Sebastopol, Aug. 30 (Sept. 12).
Valiant Comrades,—On the 12th of September last year, a
strong enemy's army appeared before the walls of Sebastopol.
Despite its numerical superiority, despite the absence of ob-
stacles which military science might have opposed to it in the
town, that army did not dare to attack it openly (literally,
with an open force), and undertook a regular siege.
Since then, despite the formidable means at the disposal of
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1855-10-09

THE LATE ARCHDEACON BROOKS

Before proceeding with the usual business of the meeting,
His Worship the Mlyott, in a brief but tastefully-arranged
address, alluded to the loss the community of Liverpool had
sustained in the death of the Venerable Archdeacon Brooks. In
doing this, he emphatically reminded the Council of the great
public usefulness he had always rendered to the community
during his long and active life: a -true friend of the poor, and
a judicious adviser of all classes, numerous individuals of
every rank had felt it a pleasure and advantage to consult
with him. His worship then intimated his opinion that the
Council should join in the funeral procession ; and also his
own intention to attend in state at St. Peter's Church on
Sunday, on which occasion the Lord Bishop of Chester had
signified his intention of preaching a funeral sermon, out of
respect to the memory of the deceased.
Mr. H. HORNBY moved, and Mr. J. STEWART seconded
the resolution, that the Council, in a body, attend the funeral.
The resolution was unanimously agreed to.

VISIT OP THE DUKE OP CAMBRIDGE.-THE PROPOSED

ILLUMINATION.

The •Mum% suggested that the Town-clerk read a commu-
nication he had received from Mr. Sydney, chairman of a
meeting held on the preceding day, in the Clarendon-rooms,
relative to the proposed illumination in honour of the Crimean
victories. The communication having been read,
His WORSHIP reiterated the statement he had previously
made, that, in recommending a general indication of public
rejoicing on account of the successes which have attended the
efforts of the allied armies in the Crimea, he only gave utter-
ance to a widely-indicated popular feeling. In compliance
with this, he had suggested that the Town-hall and other
buildings belonging to the Corporation should be illuminated,
and that suggestion had been coincided in by the Council,
which had passed a resolution embodying it. The Council had
also joined in recommending that the public should co-operate
with the Corporation, as far as convenience and inclination
would permit, in rendering the demonstration of rejoicing as
general as possible, by illuminating their premises and other-
wise ; but it never was intended to make such recommenda-
tion compulsory, nor to entail on the community the expense
and inconvenience of illuminating any private dwelling, but,
perhaps, the object contemplated by the communication might
be effected by its being clearly understood that the Mnmina.
tion of private houses was not expected.
After some conversation, in which Mr.W. Earle, Mr. Wood-
ruff, Mr. Sheil, Mr. Alderman Bennett, Mr. Alderman Shand,
r and Mr. Beckwith took part, the suggestions of the Mayor
were understood to be adopted, and the subject dropped.
