RUSSIAN MOVEMENTS.

The Russians show nov
sign of retreat from the
north forts. On the contrary, they continue their fire,
and have even commenced erecting stone buildings
for the troops :

No change has been observed in the disposition of the
Russian troops on the north heights. The fire of the
forts and batteries against the south side has continued. It
is chiefly directed against the parts of the town occupied
by the French, but shells and rockets have also been dis-
charged among the buildings surrounding the dockyard,
with the intention apparently of setting them on fire. Very
few casualties have occurred. The batteries near the
Inkermann West Light, and the Gringolet Battery on the
cliff above the Tschernaya valley, have been more active
the last few days. Since the movement of some of the
French regiments towards Inkermann these batteries have
been trying to annoy our allies in that direction. The
enemy have thrown up another battery on the Inkermann
heights, and on the north side they have commenced to
erect stone buildings, which does not look much like a

The Russians appear carefully to avoid any show
of force. Occupying the high tablelands of the
mountains, they can watch every movement in the
allied camp :
The two belligerent parties scarcely see each other,
separated as they are by a kind of neutral ground which
intervenes between them. A few black spots about the

OLYMPIC THEATRE.

No novelty has yet followed the singularly bad farce
—it scarcely deserves even that humiliated name—in
which Mr. Robson sings the song that draws as sin-
gnlarly good half-prices. New pieces are, however,
pron,,ised in the bill, and we regret to have reason to
believe the very serious illness of Mrs. Wigan has
delayed thOir
production. The School for Scandal—
the Saturday night performance—has lost none of its
attraction. Mr. Wigan's Joseph is the only one
which can be acceptable to an audience for whom
stage traditions have no value in comparison with
natural and rational acting. The old playgoers, the
Peninsular veterans of the theatre, do not see its ea.
traordinary merit, but modern audiences recognise
and applaud a bold and intellectual innovation upon
a hacked conception.

EXPECTATIONS OF ATTACK.

The belief that an attack was really imminent
gained ground in the camp. A young cadet desert-
ing from the Russians has given certain information
that a 6erious attack was contemplated :

Yesterday afternoon a younker, or cadet, who, according
to his own account, was for sonic slight offence aken from
his regiment and attached as a punishment to the
Cossacks, came over to us, and, among other valuable
information, brought the news that the Russian army of
the Crimea, about 70,000 men, had received orders and
was preparing to attack our line, especially oar right, from
Tchorgoun to the extreme right, on the 6th or 7th of this
month, and if the attack should not succeed the army
had orders to evacuate the Crimea, and to take up its posi-
tion at Kherson and Nicolaieff. According to the ac-
counts of the younker, who seems to be marvellously well
informed of everything, the preparations for this retreat
are already made. The heavy position-guns which were in
the batteries on the Mackenzie heights have been removed,
and replaced by others of lighter calibre. The heavy bag-
gage has likewise gone.—Timer cor., Nov. 3.
The various movements of the Russians of late
excited suspicion :
For the last two days, but especially yesterday, the Rus.
sians have been burning the furze on the Mackenzie ridge;
it may have been an accident, but the line of fire seeme
too regular not to suggest the idea that it was by design
that it took place. The Tchouliou valley is swarming with
Cossacks. They are likewise more numerous on all the
hills about Apu and Ozembash.—lb.

THE GENERAL ORDER.

In consequence of the numerous requisitions for
leave, the commander-in-chief had issued the fol-
lowing order :
The Commander of the Forces has been much sur-
prised at the numerous applications fur leave of absence
which have lately reached him from officers of all ranks in
the army.
He has to remind them that they are still in the pre-
sence of a powerful enemy ; moreover, that they have
duties to perform in camp not less important than those in
the field; and that the instruction, discipline, and well-
being of the troops are subjects which require the earnest
attention of all good soldiers.

PRUSSIA.

The King of Prussia has replied to the address
presented to him on his birthday by the municipality
of Berlin, in a tone which marks his disappointment
at the result of the recent Berlin elections :

Whatever pleasure (observes the King) my paternal
heart may feel at receiving an as-urance of the unalterable
Devotion and fidelity of the men who are placed at the
head of the capital, and who enjoy well-merited considera-
tion, I cannot conceal from you the painful impression
which the recent elections at Berlin for the Chamber of
Deputies have made upon me,

SWEDEN.

The brilliant reception of General Canrobert by
the Swedish Court had excited great enthusiasm
among all classes. On his landing a royal carriage
drawn by eight horses was sent to bring him in state
to the Palace, where the whole Court had assembled.
The Princes Oscar and Augustus, and the Minister
of Foreign Affairs, were present at the French
general's interview with the King, on the 7th, when
the letter of the French Emperor and the insignia
of the Grand Clogs of the Legion of Honour were
presented by General Canrobers.
In the Aftonbladet, of the 7th, it is stated :

The high importance of the mission which General
Canrobert has come to Stockholm to fulfil is seen in the
fact that the King has summoned Baron Mandrrstroem
from Vienna in all haste. The baron was formerly Minister
of Foreign Affairs, and is now Swedish and Norwegian
Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of Austria.
SARDINIA, NAPLES, AND ITALY.

The King of Sardinia opened the Chambers in
person on the 12th. His Majesty alluded to the
Western alliance in the following terms :

I have not hesitated to unite the arms of Sardinia to
those powers who are struggling in the cause of justice, in
behalf of the civilisation and independence of the nations.
It is a proud thing for our soldiers and sailors to share in
the dangers and glories of the brave armies of France, of
England, and of Turkey. May God grant his blessing to
our united efforts to make the nest peace lasting—one
which shall insure to each nation its legitimate rights

The differences with,Tuscany were, it was believed,
on the eve of an amicable settlement.
M. Mazza has been named a Councillor of State,
but is permitted to retain his salary as Director of
Police. The new appointment and the permission
seem somewhat anomalous.
BELGIUM.

King Leopold opened the Belgian Chambers in
person on the 13th. His Majesty delivered an ad-
dress, which alluded solely to the satisfactory state
of Belgium and other domestic topics, with the ex-
ception of the opening paragraph, which informed
the Deputies that " reiterated proofs of sympathetic
confidence from foreign Governments continued to be
received."
London, England, 1855-11-17

ignorance was less so. Education taught a man the
necessity of labour. It taught him V) respect the property
of others. ➢len were fur the most part content to toil, if
thereby they could earn a fair share of the enjoyments of
life. If isolated and uncared fur they became discontented
and dissatisfied. The obvious remedy was to bring men
as much as possible to resemble themselves—to take an
interest in the same thing, and to think and feel as they
did. To add to povet Ly and hard labour, ignorance, and
every other degradation ; to render it impossible that one-
half of the community should sympathise with the other,
was not the way to bring about the desired improvement
in the condition of the labouring classes.
After contending for a higher remuneration for
labour, lower poor rates, and a better system of
education, without which latter point, he observed,
religious instruction had little effect, the dean con-
cluded with a fervent prayer for the success of the
schools they had met that day to establish.

OFFICIAL DESPATCHES.

An official despatch from General Williams, at
Kars, dated Oct. 3, was received by Lord Clarendon
od Saturday last. The despatch contained a full
and detailed account of the assault up= Kars
and its repulse on the 20th September. The gallant
general confirms all previous private narratives which
have appeared, and mentions in the highest terms
the conduct of General Kmety, Hussim Padre, Lieu•
tenant-Colonel Lake, Captain Thompson, Major
Teesdale, Mr. Churchill, &c., and bears witness to
the determined bravery of the Turkish troops under
his command. After detailing the positions of the
various batteries, &c., General Williams describes the
first appearance of the Russian columns at daybreak
on the 20th:—
- •

--
The mist and imperfect light of the dawning day in-
duced the enemy to believe that he was about to surprise
us ; he advanced with his usual steadiness and intrepidity ;
but on getting within range he was saluted with a crush-
ng fire of artillery from all points of the line. This un-
expected reception, however, only drew forth loud hurrahs
from the Russian infantry as it rushed up the hill on the
redoubts and breastworks. 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 Uhasseurs,
armed with Mime rifles, was, after long and desperate
fighting, completely broken anti sent headlong down the
hill, leaving K 1) dead on the field, besides those carried off
by their comrades.
The central column of the Russians being repulsed
at the closed redoubts, where General Kmety com-
manded, their right column, supported by a powerful
field battery, turned the left flank of the defences,
and penetrated to the rear of the position :
Observing the commencement of this movement, and
anticipating its consequences, Lieutenant-Colonel Lake,
who had taken the direction of affairs in the English
Tablas, was instructed to send a battalion from Fort Lake
to the assistance of the defenders of Tahmasb, and at the
same time two battalions of the reserves were moved
across the flying bridge and upon the rocky height of Lax
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,

THE WAR.
A more full account of the operations of the army
under Omer l'acha has been received from Constan-
tinople by the Turkish Embassy in London. (It
will be observed that the date of the battle is the
6th—Lord Clarendon's despatch stated the sth.) :
Constantinople, Nov. 15.
On the oth of November the troops under the orders
of Omer niche forced the River Atakora, or Onflour, in
Georgia, under a terrible fire. The river was defended by
sixteen thousand Russians, and our soldiers were in water
to their armpits.
The Sultan's troops attacked the Russian redoubts with
the bayonet, and carried them, notwithstanding the des-
perate defence made by the enemy.
The Russian troops were completely routed, and took to
flight. We have taken five guns, seven powder-carts, and
forty prisoners.
The Russians have left more than 400 dead on the field
of battle. among whom arc two superior officers and a hun-
dred subalterns. Our loss is sixty-eight dead, and two
hundred and twenty wounded.
A further despatch, vis. Hamburg, dated " Friday
morning," states :
On the 7th instant the Turks, under Omer Pachs, entered
Georgia.
After crossing the river Anakara, by wading through it
up to their armpits, the Turkish army attacked the enemy's
redoubts at the point of the bayonet, completely muted the
Russian troops, to the number of sixteen thousand, and
after a desperate struggle put them to flight.
The Russian loss was five cannon, four hundred killed,
and forty prisoners.
The Turks had sixty-eight killed and 220 wounded.

THE FLOATING BATTERIES.

THE question of constructing some machine capa-
ble of resisting alike shot and shell, has been parti-
ally settled by the use of the French floating bat-
teries against Kinburn. The subject is exciting a
great amount of interest at the present moment, and
the Moniteur of Monday last contained an elaborate
article upon the topic, informing us that the merit
of this invention of floating batteries was due en-
tirely to the peculiar talent of the Emperor of the
French :

The reports of Admiral Bruat on the attack of Kinburn
have pointed out the powerful effect of the floating batteries.
Some journals have already excited public curiosity by
describing the particularities of their construction, but
they have not made known the inventor of this new arm.
It will be heard with pleasure that they are due to the in-
itiative of the Emperor. When, at the commencement of
the war, the formidable fleets of England and France set
sail for the Black Sea and the Baltic, persons, little initiated
in the elements of naval war, thought that those fleets
would in the twinkling of an eye destroy all the Russian
fortresses. The Emperor, to whom his studies on gunnery
had rendered these questions familiar, was not deceived in
the matter, and he felt persuaded that if the Russian fleets,
not daring to come out and give battle on the open sea,
took refuge behind the fortifications which had been con-
structed during a time of peace at enormous expense, the
allied fleets could scarcely attempt anything against their
walls. He even insisted, in a note which he sent to the
Minister of Marine, that the admirals should use the
greatest prudence in engaging their fine and numerous
ships of the line, for, he said, in war the chances should
be equal. An 80-gun ship carrying 1,200 men, and the
construction of which has cost years of time and millions
of money to the State, should not be hazarded against a
wall of little value, armed with a few guns, and served by a
small number of men. The first campaign confirming
these previsions, the Emperor sought for the means of
creating what may be called a siege fleet, the ordinary
fleet being only made to engage with ships. A line-of-
battle ship of one hundred guns of large calibre, and a
squadron which carries thousands of them, produce very
prompt and decisive effects against adversaries of the same
nature, but it is not the same against fortifications in ma-
sonry or in earth, because in that case one of the two com-
batants is much more vulnerable than the other, being
alone exposed to the danger of sinking. The land forts
throw balls against ships which pass through their sides,
carry away their masts, and scatter about splinters of wood
and iron which kill and wound a greater number of men

THE CHOLERA.

The reappearance of cholera in the camp is offi-
cially ratified by a despatch from Lord Raglan, con-
taining a report from Dr. Hall, the Inspector-Gene-
ral of the Hospitals, and published in the Gazette.
It must, however, be remembered that later advices
received by telegraph announce the diminution of
the epidemic. Lord Raglan writes :

Before Sebastopol, May 15.
have the honour to inclose a letter from the Inspector-
General of Hospitals, forwarding the weekly report on the
sick of the army under my command. I deeply regret to
have to draw your lordship's attention to the fact that cho-
lera has reappeared here, that twenty men have died, and
that fifty-two men were yesterday labouring under the fatal
disease.

The troops have been free from it for several months,
and I was in hopes that we should have had no return of it.

General Canrobert informs me that it had never ceased
to prevail in the French army in a greater or lesser degree.
RAGLAN.

( Inclosure.)

Head-quarters, Camp before Sebastopol, May 14.-1 have
the honour to report on the weekly state of sick of the
army serving in the Crimea, from the 13th to the 12th inst.,
and to observe that the following are the proportions,
which are extremely moderate, viz.:—Ratio of admissions
to strength during the week, 3.92 per cent.; ratio of deaths
to strength during the week, o'2o per cent.; but I regret
to have to add that since the 12th instant spasmodic cho-
lera has considerably increased, and as many as eighteen
deaths and fifty-two cases under treatment have been re-
ported within the last twenty-four hours.
The fourth division, including the Buffs and 71st, the
second and the light divisions, with B G and P batteries
of artillery, have suffered most; but as yet the disease can
hardly be said to exist in the cavalry, first and third divi-
sions, or in the siege train. This exemption, however,
there is reason to apprehend, will not, be of any very long
duration.

Hitherto the disease has chiefly attacked new comers,
and many of the cases have occurred when the men were
either actually in the trenches or immediately after their
return from duty in them. This may have been owing to
the combined causes of fatigue and local miasma, but to
neither in particular ; for we find the men of the B G and
P batteries, who never go into the trenches at all, and who

SAttitiiity,

are not overworked, have suffered neatly as much as any
others. All the men attacked in theta, with I believe one
exception, had recently arrivetitin the Crimea. In the P
battery, two of the men attacked had only just landed; one,
I think, had been about twenty-four and the other thirty.
six hours on shorn when they were attacked, and in both
the disease followed intemperance.

FOREIGN.

The market for Foreign Stock has been quiet, the
attention of dealers being chiefly attracted to the
Turkish Bonds. In this stock some considerable
transactions have taken place, and a further rise in
the quotations is established. This afternoon they
were dealt in at 821, after having touched 83i, and
left off firm. Sardinian Bonds were quoted at 80 ex.

previous prices.

We're by the classic sages told
The dart that armed the little rover
Was one end lead and one end gold,
But Palmerston's is lead all over.
Perhaps, however, it, is as well that such an
unfortunate estimate of eo great a genius
should have been put aside, since we see that
every night the wit of its subject sets on " some
" barren spectators to laugh," and, in fact, that,
like Punch in the show, the apparition of his
mere physiognomy is sufficient to produce the
greatest hilarity. The whole Administration
is, in fact, so excellent a joke that the head of
it cannot possibly be dull.
Though sparing in the insertion of any of
his satirical mots against churchmen and the
Church, Moore was led, however, to perpetuate
by the collected form much that was exceed-
ingly personal and very often pointless, and
which now exhibits but little interest. It is
the fate of ephemeral satire to follow its sub-
ject, a great many of whom referred to by
Moore are already forgotten.
Of the present edition we need only say
that it is beautifully printed in "ruby " type,
and so brought almost into the compass of a
pocket-volume.

CORN-EXCHANGE Since our last report the arrivals of
English wheat, coastwise and by laud carriage, have been again
very moderate. Although the show of samples of both red and
white has been far from extensive, the demand has ruled very
inactive, and in the few sales effected fully Is per quarter less
money has been accepted by the factors. Fine foreign wheats
have mostly sold at full quotations; but the value of low and
middling parcels has had a downward tendency. Several of the
newly-arrived cargoes have gone direct to the millers, and the
imports continue on a liberal scale. Floating cargoes have
realised full prices. There has been a slow sale for barley and
malt, on former terms. The supplies of oats being rather eaten•
sive, the oat trade has been flat, at a decline of fully 6d per,
quarter. Beans have sold rea illy, at leper quarter more money.
Peas and flour have realised former terms.

The steamer Atlantic has brought New York
advices to the 16th ult. There is no news from the
States of general interest..
The last dates from California are April 24, and
gold to the amount of above a million dollars. The
mining districts are reported in a favorable state,
and business recovering. Well-authenticated ac-
counts of the discovery of rich gold placers, located
in the neighbourhood of San Francisco, about eight
days' march from Acapulco, were published. Rules
for the government of the miners had been pro-
mulgated.
The steamer Golden Age struck on a rock on her
passage from California to Panama, and was run
ashore on the Island of Quicara, to save the lives of
the passengers. She was a steamer of about 3,500
tons, and comparatively new, having left New York
on her first voyage to Liverpool and Australia in
September, 1853. She arrived at Panama in August,
1854, and took her place in the line of the Panama
Mail Steam-ship Company in October of the same
year. Her original cost exceeded 400,000 dollars,
which is stated to be fully covered by insurance iu
