THE RUSSIAN LOSS.

The Emus Zeilung at Berlin, the violent partisan
of Russia, prints s letter from St. Petersburg of the
11th, containing the following pump :

"We have suffered horrible loss. General Ytum-
soff is dead; Generals Chruleff, Martineau, Zurof,
and Wojenkoff, adjutant of the Emperor, are severely
wounded; Kollen is taken prisoner."

AUSTRIA AND THE WESTERN POWERS.
The Austrian government has caused the publica-
tion of the following announcement in its acknow-
ledged ofci►l organ, the Austrian Correspondens:
"The new state of things may give occasion to a
diplomatic contest or a sanguinary strife between
Russia and the Western Powers, but it will in no
way affect the mediatory attitude of Austria."

We have reoeived the Moniteur of yesterday ; it
contains no further despatches from Marshal Pelissier,
but an official article on the fall of Sebastopol, very
honourable to the French government, and a decree
authorising public aid to the needy classes under the
pressure of dearth of corn. Both of these documents
are given in fall.

THE NEWS FROM SEBASTOPOL,

(MOM AN OCCASIONAL SOUTHAMPTON CORRESPONDENT.)
The anxiety here to become acquainted with the
details of the assautt of Sebastopol is most intense. There
has been nothing like it in the history of the war. When
the telegraph announced the capture of the Mslakhoff, tbe
failure at Ike Roden. mid the evacuation of Sebutopol by
the Russians, the inhabitants wets overjoyed ; but as the
fall significance of the stupendous victory became undet-
stood, sad the people ralseted on the fearful struggle. by
which it was accomplished, there was a craving to leers the
particulars of the shuck of armies on the glorious Bth, such
as has been noticed before. When it was announced
that the Telegraph steamer had left Balaklava with di-
spatches on the 11th beta were made as to when she could ar-
rive at Marseilles, when her despatches would get to Ludoe,
sad when her news could reach Southampton. The time
that it would take before the despatches could be read in
Southampton was estimated in hours. At length came the
graphic descriptions in the London papers of the bombard-
ment, the terrific prelude to the grand assault, and the
mightiest exhibition of destructiveness by human .geney
that the world had ever known. As soon as intelli-
gence reashed here that the Telegraph steamer had
reached at Marseilles, every day the London morn-
ing and evening papers were most eagerly *ought
after, and nothing scarcely was heard bet the ever-
laming question, Have the despatches arrived ? "
At length eases General Simpson's deepen:44lM this sow
Needy failed to satisfy public 'sneaky and analisentatie,
and she desidpeigne el the Lewdest assempeper ewer
@peeped' of the assault oa the Mahatma and the Ream,
and the state of Sebastopol are anticipated with the most
absorbing interest. People here are feverishly anxious to
know every minutia how the Northern Coheres was over-
thrown, and how the great blow was struck at the gigantic
foe of civilisation and 'the world's peace—bow Frenchmen
sad Rogliatunen, fighting side by side, captured the mighty
fortreas, and rivalled, in their contempt of death, and in
their prowess and bravery, the patriots and heroes of
antiquity.

SEBASTOPOL AT THE POLYTECHNIC.

There is now on vim at the Polytechnic Institu-
tion, Regeototrec, a new model of the town and fortifica-
tions of Sebastopol, with the siege works of the allies. A
model enables the fops' finial features of the country to be
represented with much greater truthfulness, and the male
of this (wwe, inches to a mile) admits of considerable
minuteness of detail. The area embraced extends eastward
beyond Tchorgoun, and northward to the Belbek, so that
no point of interest is omitted. Starting from the Quaran-
tine Inlet and Bsttery, the eye takes in successively
Kamieach, the monastery of St. George, Balaklava (whence
It follows the course of the railway), Hadikoi, the seams of
the memorable light cavalry charge, the advanced positions
of the British and Sardinians at Kamera and Tcborgour,
the rivers Tehernaps and Cholla, the Traktir Bridge and
the ravine down which the Russians came in their last
attack, the Mackensie road, winding along the precipitous
sides of steep bills and commanded by numerous batteries,
the Inkermann lights, and the Star Fort and its out-
works, the point upon which public interist is at
present centred. Berry fort and earthwork, and
every division of the besieging forces, are represented,
the nationality of the latter being made clearly dis-
tinguishable by the different colours. The headquarters
of Marshal Pelissier and 0 1 Simpson are marked by
the flags of their respective countries. The eye of every
visitor seeks the ilalakhoff Tower, and the immense advan-
tage the poseeesion of that redoutable fort gave the allies is
apparent at once, without a very deep knowledge of military
engineering and tactics. The points of moot interest at the
present moment, however, end the more so as the events of
the was hays nut yet made us acquainted with them, are
the Star Fort and its surrounding earthworks, and the
formidable batteries which command the narrow and steep
road leading from the Traktir Bridge to Mackensie's Farm,
and thence to the north side. The new model is the work
of Mr. Holmes, master of the National School, at Stansted,
Roses, who studied the best authorities for the purpose, and
upon whoa* talent iu this department of art it reflects great
credit. It is a present to the institution, and occupies the
place of the former model, executed by Sergeant Falkland
and Corporal Thomas, of the Royal Happen and Miners,
Woolwich; which, having become, in the progress of the
war, rather obsolete as regards the poaltioce of the allied
forces, ka been removed to another room.

MOVEMENTS IN THE CRIMEA.

Intelligence has been received by way of Mar-
seilles, from Sebastopol, down to Sept. 16.

SPAIN.

The Madrid papers of the 17th state that the
deputies resident at Madrid had been officially in-
formed that the re-opening of the Cortes will take
place on Ist October.

The Madrid Gazette of the 16th contains royal
decrees which enact that henceforth the Major-1
Domo, the Camarera Mayor, and the Intendant-1
'General of the Palace shall be nominated " on the
Iproposition of the Council of Ministers;" the decrees
specify the services of these dignitaries, and at the
same time suppress various places in the royal house-
hold. These decrees put an end to what is called
the " palace question," which had been oolong pend.l
ing, and do so in the manner desired by the ministry.
A letter of the 17th says:
A royal decree in the Gazette of to day enacts that the
Property belonging to certain charitable institutions, and
to what are calied the Holy Places of Jerusalem, shall be
offered for sale. A cubit band has appeared in Biscay; it
is said to consist of 35 nee, and to be well mounted and
armed. Another band of 40 Carlists is also stated to hate
appeared in the same province. the period fixed for volun-
tary subc-riptons to the loan of 230 millions of reels having
expired, • forced levy of taxes will be made of the portion
not subscribed. The cholera is gradually disappearing
from all parts of Spain.

GUILDHALL.

Thomas Arthur Corlett, dressed in the height of the go-
a-ltead fashion, was placed at the bar before Alderman
Cubitt, charged with fraud.
A gentleman who attended on behalf of the Electric.
Telegraph Company, having briefly stated the nature of the
charge, said this was a very serious case, inannuch as the
prisoner had stolen about 80 money orders for various
amounts, and the money he received for them he had ap-
propriated to his own use.
Pithiest David Collins said—l am clerk to Messrs. Hooper
and Baker, of 12, Eastcbeap. On the 4th of November
last I delivered a message at the Electric Telegraph-office,
I. Lothbnry, to be transmitted to Mr. James Dalton, •t
Beres, near Colchester. I paid Is. for the message, and u
the clerk did not know the distance between Bures and
Colchester, I deposited 95. to elver the ezpanses for por-
terage. Reviles subsequently ascertained that the porterage
did net amount to more than le., I made application on the
20th of December for the return of the Ils. °remiss. On
the 29th of December we received an order for 8.. 6d. from
the company, which wee paid to me at their office in Loth-
bury on the same day.
Mr. Thomas Baker—l wrote to the company several
times between the 4th of Noveml:or and the 20th December,
about the overcharge for porterage, and on the latter day I
directed Collins to call about it, the eonstqsence of which
was that I received an order for 6d., on the 29th of Deo.,
that was the 'Wyse= I received from the company.
Mr. Hoary &beet= Wilson, assistant secretary to the
Electric Telegraph Company said—lt is my duty to attend
to all complaints relative to overcharge. I remember Messrs.
Hooper and Baker claiming the return of Bs. in November
last. I made inquiries, sad finding that only 6d. had been
paid for porters" I male out an order for Bs. 6d. payable at
any of the cospeay's otiose. I then gave the order and •
letter of az , written by the prisoner by my direc-
tion, sad to Mews. Hooper and Baker, to the

THE POLICE COURTS.

DEATH OF A WOMAN FROM VIOLENCE.

Yesterday en inquest was opened before Mr.
Wakley, at the Royal Free Hospital, Ora) 's- inn-lane, re-
specting the death of Mary Kelly, aged 23 years. It
appeared from the evidence that the deceased had cohabited
for some time with a man named Maurice Hero, a brick-
layer. The deceased left her lodgings in Portpool-lane at
11 o'clock on Saturday night. She was then well, and was
shortly alter seen in a public•house, at the corner of Fox's-
court, in company with two men and two women. As they
were all coming out of the house, Horn came up, and
struck deceased a blow, which sent her with street violence
against the door of the public house. Deceased ex-
claimed, "Oh, lem dead I" A policeman came up,
but the women said, "Oh ! it's all right : she's only
in a drunken At," and promised to see her home. About
20 minutes afterwards the policeman was called to a row
in the same publio-house, and found the deceased lying on
the ground insensible. She was removed to the Hospital, but
when examined was found to be dead. A little girl named
Walker deposed that she was in Fox's-court, at about mid-
night on Saturday, and saw Hern kick a young woman in
the lower part of her person; she fell heavily to the ground ;
the two females who were with her raised her up, but she
fell down again as if in a fit. The post modem examination
disclosed extensive internal hemorrhage, a large clot of
blood, weighing 18 ounces, having been found In the abdo-
men ; but the house surgeon at the Free Hospital, who made
the examination, could not say whence the hemorrhage
proceeded, as there was no mark of violence, or laceration
discovered. The coroner, in summing up, said it was evi-
dent the inquiry could not rest there. The evidence showed
clearly that a severe blow and kick bad been inflicted upon''
deceased. The inquiry would therefore be adjourned for
the further inquiry by the surgeon. In the mean time,
from the evidence which had been adduced before him he
felt bound to give the man Horn into custody. He was
accordingly handed over to the police, and the case was ad-
journed until to-morrow (this day).

TO TIP ZDITOIL OP TIM DAILY NOWT.

Sta,—l have read this day your sketch with reference to
the Legion of Honour of Ffirlolll. Permit me to mention a
circumstance relative to the use made of that order, every
way honourable to the French.
After the Battle of Salamaaes I was in chug* of the
hospital at Coimbra, in Portugal, where about fifteen
hundred sick and wounded primmer' of war were admitted.
They received the same attention ea our men—they had a,
Mir men all that their cases required, whether food, vim-
Serb, or medicines.
Tears after,l was accidentally recognised in Pia by one
of these ci-despowt prisoners—which led to an applieatiou by
the French government, I. our government,. to en ow me
to accept the Cross of the Logien of Honour—which was
granted.
It is to be regretted that in this country so such ogee
exists.

When any si oar sinker wounded fell into the hands of
the French, they resolved from the French medical staff
the same Mistrals tesatment which the French sick and
wounded reee'oed at Coimbra. Yet oar government has
no means to tank their grateful sense for the favour con-
limed on their Ism fortunate countrymen but money
tilliebialsrch a sato mold not be offered 'without offence.

THE LEGION OF HONOUR.

The following letter (says the Daily Nees) is a
striking illustration of one advantage which might
be derived from the institution of an order analogous
to the Legion of Honour. It is at the same time a
delightfulAistration of the chivalrous spirit which
animated French and English armies when they were
opposed to each other—we hope and believe for the
last time.

SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY.
Mee Mao:4m was paribnaed at Exeter-ball
Let ereniug. This fine oratorio, ea well as its
meaner of performance by the Sieved Harmonic
Society, is well known to the frequenters of these
concerts ; but it requires special notice on
this. malice on account of the first appear-
slice in this country of Madame Roderedorif
as a singer of sacred music. This lady has
fully maintained her reputation which she brought
with her from Germany, as a performer of the first
clew on the opera stage ; but it did not follow that
she would be equally successful in the music of
Handel. The true Mendelian style is known, only
is England, where it has been handed down by
tradition trom Handers own day to our own ; and
siss7 fade singers of renown have been able to
require it only by degrees, and by means of
lan Bagliok experience and practice. We ex-
tam an accomplished artist like Madams a.
a musician-like performance, but
that she would not be entirely al
=it style which, we supposed, must have
bass in a eerable measure now to bar. Bat it,
wee gratifying to find that she sang the principal 114
part in this oratorio not only (am we expected) ri
soprano power and beauty of voice, clear and it.
articulate execution, and fine expression, but with a
murky of style and an English simplicity of manner so
which must have satisfied the most fastidious of the IS
great mester's admirers. Madame Rudersdorff has it
the advantage of speaking our language like a se
native; and her Ignglish elocution is equalled IL
by very few of our own performers. This as.
oratorio contains two of Handers finest songs, ILL
" Pious orgies, pions airs," and " Prom mighty kings Ti
be took the spoil," widely different in character; the si.
one being, as simple, subdued, and devout as the It
other is joyous, exulting, and florid. Madame
Ruderedorif did full justice to both; and, indeed, we
have
-
have never heard the latter air executed with greater
brilliancy or finer effect. The beautiful song, "G It.
Liberty, thou choicest treasure," generally sung by tt,
a tenor voice, but designed by the composer for a MI
soprano, was on this occasion properly assigned to
Madame Rudersdorff; and her performance of it, r
with Piatti's violoncello accompaniment, was delight- Ili
fal. Her moon', in short, was complete, and will lit
team trust, to many other performances of a similar n
Idea.
The other principal singers were Mrs. Lockey 124
(whom we were glad to see again in Exeter-hall), OIL
Miss Measent, Mr. Sims Reeves, Mr. Williams, and ro
Mr. Weiss. The choruses were excellently sung, ss
and the whole performance of this noble oratorio was it,
a very great musical treat.

FLIGHT OF POLES FROM THE RUSSIAN

CONSCRIPTION.

The Cologne Gazette publishes the following, dated
from the Oder, Jan. 15 :
The persecution of the Polish fugitives who crossed into
Prussia with the view of escaping the Russian conscription,
is being carried on unrelentingly by the authorities of the
former state. Count von Westarp, a provincial judge in
the southern part of Upper Silesia, guys directions on the
11th ult. to the subordinate official; of his district to arrest
89 individuals, advertised as conscript deserters by Russia,
and on ascertaining their identity to deliver them up forth-
with to the Russian authorities in Poland. That even the
Poorest cluses in Poland continue to dread and loathe the
Runie:a military i•ervice, is shown by the circumstance that
all t'de 39 individuals in question, except two of them who
ale Jews, are merely day labourers, poor workmen, and
household' servan,.. Their age lies between 18 and 25
I Iyears, and they all worked for their living, before they took

EZisabogh Bates, 30, and George Brown, alias Johnson,
88, were indicted, on Saturday, the former for stealing a
purse coataiaing mosey from Alfred Chapman, and the
latter far assaulting him and sedating the female to commit
the felony.

He, however, went in pursuit of them, and saw them
apprehended by a of the P division. There

their faces a few Manta previously, ea he paned them
standing neer a lamp-post.

the Commissioners of Sewers to show cause why he should
not be made to pay the amount of 311. for cleansing and
repairing the drakes of houses in his occupation.
Mr. Tyrrell, the solicitor to the Commiasioness of Sewers,
said, notice had Mee given to the defendant to repair the
drains of the Moen be tenanted, and, as he bad neglected
to do it, the Oloraisefoners, acting upon the powers con-
ferred IPS them by the act of parliament, had caused the
memory regain to be done, and now claimed the amount
they had expended in the work.
The defendant said he knew the work had been done, bat,

Mr. Tyrrell said he was perfectly wiling to let the matter
stand over, sad, in the mesa time, he would make applica-
tion to the owner et the houses for the amount of the claim ;
but, if they did not recover from the owner, then he should

The summons was accordingly adjourned for a week.
