THE RUSSIANS ON THE NORTH SIDE.

The Times' correspondent, on the 24th of November, says:—
The Russians, having made good roads between their camps,
and having established themselves comfortably on the other
side of the Tchernaya, seem resolved to give us an uneasy time
of it in Sebastopol, and never ceased firing to-day from one end
of the bay to the other. I ventured to express an opinion,
almost immediately after the capture of the south side, that the
enemy's preparations indicated the intention of wintering where
they lay. We have all been too prone, not only in England,
but out here, to calculate on advantages to be gained by the
privations to which the enemy would be exposed, or by imagin-
ary wants to which they were likely, in our opinion, to be sub-
jected. But the Russian, is well supplied with all munitions
of war, and with the means of subsistence. The whole strength
pi the empire has been devoted to the supplies of the Crimean
army, and the Russian General no doubt calculates on the
concentration of such a force in the Crimea next spring
as will enable him to meet the allies in every point which
they
may assail, knowing that Perekop is unassailable by
a large force, owing to the want of water, and to its geo-
graphical position, and that noarmy can opefrate in theahtreeeaa:

no safe basis of operations against Nich 0i aiefr or

sense to leave such an army in their rear and
hoPes, therefore, either to be able to hold the

Campaign, or to be able to make such dispositions in
of a greatdefeat as will insure the safe retreat of his army next
campaign,
Perekeikind Tehorigar, and perhaps by a third road, of the
existence of which across the Sivash there are very strong in-

dications. The electric telegraph has kindly aided him in
establishing himself all the more securely, for the rumour of
a Russian attack, to which it gave official weight, prevented
the occupation of Kaffa, and the destruction of Arabar this
autumn; and who can say how the country behind Theodosia
(Kaffa) will be seamed with batteries should we try a descent
next spring ?
6 p.m. The north batteries have been playing on,
the south side, with little intermission, all day. This fore-
noon they opened a cannonade on the French near the little
Redan, from the 12-gun battery at Inkerman, and dispersed
some working parties, but did them no harm. They have
kept up a fire ever since at the rate of two guns a minute on
the town and on the docks ; and as they direct their fire on
the houses, it would seem as though they wished to knock
over those buildings which would afford cover to the allies.
Nevertheless, the working parties continue the process of de-
molition.

Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1855-12-18

THE NEW YEAR, 1856.
THE Proprietors of the ILLUSTRATED LONDON
NEWS beg respectfully to call the attention of the Public to
the present Season of the Year as affording a most favourable
opportunity of becoming Subscribers to that celebrated Journal.
This may be effected through the medium of any respectable
Bookseller or Newsvender in any part of the United Kingdom.
A leading advantage of becoming Subscribers for the year 1856
will be the securing the delivery of several
MAGNIFICENT SUPPLEMENTS, WORKED IN COLOURS,
which can be ensured only to the regular Subscribers to the
ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS. These Coloured Supplements
will bear comparison with the finest Water Colour Drawings of
our most eminent Masters, and can only be produced by a very
large extra outlay.
The issue of the ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS daring the year
1855 may be confidently referred to, as affording proof of what it
is possible to accomplish where the resources are ample. And it
is due to acknowledge that the liberality of the Proprietors has
met with a response from the Public, unparalleled in the history
of Journalism. The ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS is now the
most extensively circulating Journal in the world; its present
weekly issue is nearly
TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND COPIES,
and that issue still on the increase. This signal triumph of British
enterprise and industry, of genius and art combined, could only
have been accomplished by the command of unusual resources,
and by the employment of new and greatly improved Machinery
to keep pace with the requirements of the Public.
The Proprietors are determined that—so far as they are con-
cerned—the issue of the year 1856 shall secure ir.creased popu-
larity to the ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS. This will be effected
by improvements in the Printing; by the increased excellence of
the Paper; by the additional value of the Engravings - by new
and eminent literary contributions; and last, not least, by the
Splendid Coloured Supplements. The whole rendering it the
Leading Journal of the World.
TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.—For Unstamped Copies, only
7.c:;
each ; Stamped Copies, which admit of fre.e " s
m in n
Paperc should

the
be ordered immediately for six months, t
fifteen days from the date thereof, 6d. each. The I:

COURT AND FASHION.

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—The nuptials of Lady Bertha
Hastings, second daughter of the Marchioness of Hastings,
with Lord W. A. Clifton, second son of the. late Talbot Clifton,
Esq., of Lytham, Lancashire, were solemnised on Tuesday.
THE QUEEN has appointed Thomas Joseph Hutchinson,
Esq., now Her Majesty's Consul in. the territories on the
western coast of Africa comprised within the Bight of Biafra,
and lying between Cape Formosa and Cape St. John, to be
also Her Majesty's Consul at Fernando Po.
THE KING OF SARDINIA arrived at Turin on Tuesday night,
and found at Susa the Prince of Carignano. The ministers
and an immense crowd waited to receive the King at the rail-
way-station, and welcomed his majesty with the utmost
enthusiasm.

PARLIAMENTARY VACANCIES.—Mr. Rumbold retiring, the
Hon. Col. Vereker intends offering himself for the representa-
tion of Great Yarmouth. The Hon. F. J. R. Villiers having
accepted the Chiltern Hundreds, Mr. P. W. Martin has com-
menced a Canvass at Rochester on the Radical interest. The
Conservatives intend bringing forward Mr. Henry Bodkin,
the barrister. A change is likely to take place on the represen-
tation of North Staffordshire, by the contemplated resignation
of Mr. Smith Child. Lord Sandon will be requested to offer
himself, and if he should do so, his success, it is said, is certain.

REIGNING SOVEREIGNS.—The " Court Calendar" of Gotha,
for the year 1856, contains some statistics which may not be
uninteresting. The oldest of the forty-eight sovereigns of
Europe is the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg Strelitz, who is
nearly 77 years of age ; the two youngest being the King of
Portugal and the Duke of Parma, the former of whom is 18,
and the later 7. The Prince of Schaumburg Lippe has reigned
the greatest number of years, having taken the reins of govern-
ment in the last century : while at the bottom of the list
stands the Emperor of Russia, who, as is well known to all,
mounted the throne in the present year. Six sovereigns are

THE WAR.

THE intelligence which continues to drop in from the Cri-
mea, from time to time, brings us little or nothing in reference
to any movement which can throw the slightest light upon the
ultimate result of the war. The correspondence of the daily
journals contains only details of preparations for the hibernal
quiet of the armies, mixed occasionally with reports of the amuse-
ments by which the troops seek to beguile the all but idle
time thus unexpectedly thrown upon their hands. The wea-
ther, which for a long period had been fine in the extreme,
has at last broken into the fitful severity which harbingers
the Crimean `inter; and so far as appearances go, according
to the latest advices, the information communicated for some
time to come will savour more of conflict with the elements than
be filled with tales of " blood and battle." In reference to the

CATTLE.

LIVERPOOL, Dm. 17.—We had a large show of stock to-day,
comprising some of very excellent quality, which brought tull
Prices, and for some of the best more money was obtained than
of late. For the middling descriptions we can quote no change
in value, and rough, of which there was a large proportion, sold
very slowly and at lower prices, with many of that sort left un-
sold. Beasts, 3,008; sheep, 11,736.

SALFORD, DEC. 12.—Their being a fair show of cattle, prices
ruled as last week. A good clearance effected. Best beef, 6d to
; middling, 5d to sid ; cows, 4d to sid ; best wedders, 6d to
bid; heavy weights, 5d to s&d; ewes, 4d to 51d. Number of
beasts, 1,275; sheep, 6,176; calves, 131.

DUBLIN, DEC. 13.—This being the large market preparatory
to Christmas,' and forwarding to England, the supply was larger
than we remember, the approaches being full of stock. Top
qualities of cattle and sheep sold at the extreme prices we have
hitherto quoted, in lots 60s to 635, and for single cattle a shade
higher; 7d per lb. was also given for best mutton. Middling,
but especially inferior, were, however, neglected, and stood over
later than usual, in many instances unsold. Beef for slaughter,
445 to 465, or 34s to 35s per cwt, net, about 3id per lb ; middling,
50s per cwt. upwards, in sink; veal, 7id per lb. Pigs in request
for the English market, at a small advance, 42s to 445; single
pigs, 48s per cwt.
