THE WAR.
eralGen Osten &al* reports to the Emperor that
as the eight of the JIM the Russians threw up ano-
ther new rodent* about 300 yards in front of the
Korailoff bastion. With the redoubts on the right

an. of Careening Bay sod above the Bay of St.
George, this makes the third aggressive work of the
kind constructed by the enemy before Bebutopol
within seventeen days. On the 4th instant the
Russians made a sortie, and attacked the French on
two flanks, but were repulsed with loss. The sortie
was repeated on the following morning, with the
same result. To protect the right attack, which
the enemy more especially menace, General Canro-
bert has placed the entire 9th division of
the French army over against the new Rus-
sian work in that quarter. Three line-of-
battle ships and one frigate have been added to the
number of sunken ships in the harbour of Sebutopol.
We give below a letter from our correspondent at
Balaklava. It reports a general improvement, ex-
tending to the health, the spirits, the food, and the
clothing of the army.
Advioes from Poland state that that kingdom is
now filled with troops, every village having its gar.
risoo. A number of dragoon and lancer regiments
are leaving for Courland to augment the army of the
Baltic under General Sievers. Russian writers pre-
tend that this General will shortly have 140,000 men
under his command.

The text of the Czar's speech to the diplomatic
loupe will be found in another column.

The English stock market today is rather flatter
in character, diminished confidence being apparently
felt in the result of the Vienna conference; but the
reduction from the closing quotations of yesterday
dose not exceed 1 per cent., and there is no appear-
ance of fluctuation. Consols have ruled steady
nearly all the morning at their present quotation of
921 to ; for money, and 92; to for the 11th
April. Exchequer BilL maik 6s. to 9s, prem.; and

1 ; and Russian Five per Cents., 99 to 101. Spanish
Old Three per Cents. have been dealt in at 3841 ; the

Four per Cent. Certificates at 941.

THURSDAY BURNING.
There is little demand for any description of home
mining stock, and the market generally remains de-
mised.
The gold mining shares continue quite neglected.
In the shares of several other foreign mines a de-
cided movement is observable. The chief feature
to-day was in Santiago shares, which rose no less than
255. per share, closing at 5: to 61. United Mexican
were also better, and last quoted 5: to SF. Imperial
Brazilian and National Brazilian were also higher,
and St. John del Hey rose 11.
. The third ordinary meeting of the New Granada
Company is called for the 30th instant. Copies of
the accounts are to be ready for delivery on Saturday

Szatous ACCIDENT.—An accident of a very serious
and melancholy nature occurred last week to a very AM
boy, aced 7 years, son to Dr. Ryan, of Fallas•green, county
Limerick. A powder-horn, full of powder, was left, as it
was thought, safe on the chimney-piece; the young lad,
however, got hold of it, and said to his little sister, " While
mamma is upstairs I will bombard Sebastopol;" and en-
deavoured to get the powder out of the horn. In this,
however, he did mot succeed. His then held the horn close
to the ire, when an explosion took place. shattering the
thumb of the right hand very much. Dr. Ryan was not at
home when the occurrence took place. Fortunately, Pro-
Amor Apjoho, of Dublin, who was on a visit with his
brotheuis.law, T. Kearney, Esq., saw the child very wen
after the accident, and did much to allay his suffering. He
was also visited by ea eminent surgeon of Limerick, who
considered amputation of the thumb the only alternative.
This course Dr. Apjoht and Dr. Ryan would not consent
to, when the child was sent by the neat train to Dublin,
and placed under the care of Surgeon Adams, Stephen's-
green, eider whose skilful treatment the little patient is
progressing favotuably. This ought to be a caution to
parent,.

THE RUSSIAN PRIZE, THE SITICA.-SAN FRAN-
mono, Bac. I.—ln the Twelfth District Court a petition
was filed for a writ of habeas corpus to bring before Judge
Norton three Russian prisoners, alleged to be held Illegally
as prisoners of war by the English prise crew on board the
Sitks, now lying in ear harbour. The illegality of their
present omen/ meet is based on the fact set forth that they
were brought out of British possessions into the state of
California, and cannot, by reason of such removal, be longer
held lawfully in British custody. A writ of habeas corpus
was issued, returnable before this court on Monday last,
bat early on the morning of the Sabbath the ship quietly
hoisted her anchors and put to sea.

TUSCANY.—From a report presented to the Grind
Duke of Tuscany, It appears that the budget for 1855 is
fixed as follows :—Receipts, 31,340,333 fr.; emsenditure,
31,288,916 f., leaving a surplus of 61,417 fr. This Is exclu-
sive of the expense which may be required for the main-
tenance of foreign troops; but the report states that the
reorganisation of the Tuscan army hes bleu successfully
completed.

LORD RAGLAN AND FLOGGING IN THE

ARMY.

[The following anecdote has appeared in an evening
contemporary. It is equally honourable to the judgment
and the humanity of Lord Raglan. His lordship has in
all human probability made a good and brave soldier out of
one who was on the very verge of being made a hopeless
reprobate. Since Lord Raglan has found out that the lash
may advantageously be dispensed with in one cue, it is to
be hoped he will extend the application of his newly-
discovered principle.] —E n. of Daily NMI.
" At the General Court-Martial, held before Sebastopol,
on the 18th December, Private Francis Hagerty, 4th
Regiment, was tried for having struck an officer and a
sergeant, while in the execution of their duty. The pri-
soner was drunk. He was found guilty, and untamed to
50 lashes and 12 months' imprisonment with hard labour,
which Lord Raglan confirmed; but remarks The
offences of which the prisoner has been very properly found
guilty, are of so serious a character as to justify the loth°.
twit of the whole punishment awarded by the court ; but,
in consideration of the youth and inexperience of the
prisoner, and the circumstance under which the crimes
were committed, and in the hope that his expressions of
sorrow and contrition are sincere, the Commander of the
Forces is induced to remit all punishment, and to award
his pardon; thus affording him an immediate opportunity
of showing, by his conduct, that he is not unworthy of the
lenity that is now extended to him.' "

THE OPERATIONS AT EUPATORIA.

What is the obstacle which has hitherto rendered
the capture of Sebastopol impossible? The Conati-
tugUmnel, which raises this question, replies :

It is, that the allies have not bun able to invest the
place; that the latter could obtain supplies without diffi-
culty; and that the garrison was incessantly renewed from
the supporting army. The Russians, slue the battle of
Inksrmann taught them tkat they could not cause the siege
to be raised, have done nothing but endeavour to pro!ong
this state of things. The allies, on their part, hays deter.
mined to put a stop to it. Eupatoria has been re-occupied
by a European division; officers of artillery and engineers
have been sent there to throw up works of art and fortifi-
cations, in order to make it as strong a position es Balak-
Ilea, and u such the point d'appui of an army of operation.
This army must now have arrived there ; it consists of the
Egyptian division and of the best troops of Omer Puha, and
is commanded by the Turkish generalissimo. We have said
that Eupatoria is to be to the north of Sebastopol what
Belaklava is to the south. That fact will suffice
to show in what a situation the disembukation of
Omer Pasha will probably place the Russian army; it will
be placed between two fires. One of two things will
happen : either the Russian army will endeavour to crush
the troops whew basis is at Enpatoria, with the certainty
of being immediately attacked in the rear by the Anglo-
French army; and the destruction of the Russian army
would deprive Sebastopol of all hope of making a successful
resistance ; or, in the second place, the Russian army, in
order not to accept battle in such a disadvantageous posi-
tion, and with such adverse changes, will retire from the
banks of the Belbee, as it hes mired from the banks of the
' Tehernaia; will concentrate itself on BatchieSerai, or on
Bimpheropel; and will sbandon Sebastopol to its sole re-
sources and to the chances of an assault. Such a retreat of
the Russian army would, in fact, be immediately followed
by the complete investment of the place, and the deviome-
'. 1101,“ would not be waited for long. Thus, either a great
' and decisive battle in the most favourable conditions for
the allies, or the retirement of the Russians without
combat, and the immediate assault of Sebastopol. Such
was the situation of things in the Crimea at the end of the
year. Let übe certain that the year 18.15 will have well
, emumemeed for the arms of Franco and her allies."

RENEWED BLOCKADE OF THE DANUBE.

PROPOSED NEW LINES OP SEWAGE.

Mr. Roe proposes a new line, to be called t 11;" Northern
high level" or " Hackney-brook line." In this instance it
is intended to "provide for the whole of the surface drain-
age as well as for the sewage." He suggests that this line
" should commence at the entrance to Tufnel park, or
Up; er Holloway, with a sewer 6 feet by 6 feet diameter,
and passing thence to and clung the fields to llighbury-vale
and Stoke Newington." The line he deumninates the
"Middle level line" is suggested to commence opposite the
church in Higb-s'reet, Kensington; thence continued to
and along Hyde-park, where it will relieve the font drainage
coming from the Bayswater and Acton sewer; thence its
course is along Piccadilly, receiving, by connecting junc-
[MOP, the sewage from the King's Scholars' Pond and
Regent-street sewers ; thence by SL James's square,
Orange-street, the Strand, Fetter-lane to Holborn ; thence
by West-street, Smithfield, Chiswell-street, and Fins-
bury-square to Curtain-road, where it would receive
the Old-street-road branch. Its course is then along
Church-street to Bethnal-green, thence under the Regent's
Canal to near the Lea, where it would receive the
sewage from the Old Ford and Rosemary-lane branch, and
a Ii tle further the sewage from the Hackney-brook line ;
then passing under the Lea and other streams to the outlet
at Barking-creek." The " Old-street branch line" he pro-
poses "should commence at the river Fleet sewer near the
House of Correction, Coldbath-field., paw ing by Wilming-
ton-square, St. John-street, Old-street, to the junction with
the main hue in Curtain-road." The " Old Ford and Rose-
mary-lane branch" is suggested "ts commence in Water-
lane, Fleet-etreet, and to pass along Cannon-street, Rose-
mary-lane, New-road, Back-road, White Horse-street, to the
World's-end. Stepney ; thence across Mile-end-road and
under the Regent's Canal above the leek, near Mile-end-
road bridge ; thence by Bearbinder-lane to its junction with
the main line." He further suggests that the " Low level
line should commence near to ChAnea hospital, to the
Victoria• Street sewer, along Whitehall, Cnaring-cross, the
Strand, New Bridge-street; thence to and along Cannon-
street, Bastcheap, &c., to the Commercial-road; then
parallel with the Limehouse cut, to and under the Lea and
the West Ham Railway, a little beyond which the pumping
station is proposed to be formed. The sewer into which the
water is to be raised hu its course in nearly a direct line
to where it will meet the gravitating line near the Barking-
road, sad then runs parallel therewith to the proposed re-
servoir." Re states that " 4,190 acres would drain into
this line, if the Isle of Dogs drained into it, but of these
many acres might be reversed to the gravitating line." He
proposes "that the pumping station on the low level
sewer should be 32 feet below the sewer proposed to convey
the water to the reservoir, with engines of about 450-horse
power." The it to be "60 feet in width, the waters
to be delivered at the turn of the tide. Storing capacity of
reservoir to be 7,000,000 cubic feet of water?'

GREECE.

M. Mavrocordato, acting ad interim as Minister of
the Interior at Athens, addressed on the 18th ult., a
IFralar to the prefects, in which he says, "The po-
onion in which the King and his government are
placed towards the protecting powers, as far as re-,
gads everything connected with their gigantic
straggle in the East, traces out to you very clearly
the rule of domestic policy which you have to follow.
Neutrality, strict neutrality, is the duty and the
tratehward of the Government; it is what is at the
mme time most in accord with the true interests of
Greece, and it is that towards which all the efforts
of the Government and the conduct of citizens
aught to tend."

The Moxitewr has already informed us that the
assembling of the Conference on the 28th ult.
was demanded of Coont Buol by Prince Gortchakoff.
It was, however, the old Conference, in which
Prussia was represented, that he wanted, and he
stickled for it until told that Prussia had broken up
that council by her own act, and could not under
present circumstances be admitted. The next move
of the Prince was to demand that the Germanic Con-
federation—virtually the Bamberg Conspiracy—
should be represented in the deliberations which
were to define the conditions of peace. This demand,
it is known, was not complied with ; and as soon am
the Prince ascertained that it would not be, he gave
way, and declared himself authorised to receive the
interpretation from the three allies.

HAMBURG, JAN. 5.

The Austrian forces now stationed in the city and

neighbourhood of Cracow amount to 52,000 sea of all arms,
with 68 pieces of ordnance, divided into four parks, which
can be united in five day.. The horses of this artillery, al-
though complete in number, ►re by no means in good eondi-
tion, and upon the whole this artillery corps can hardly he
said to be prepared to act immediately in the field. The
army corps stands in direct communication with that of
Lemberg, which numbers 42,000 men. The junction of the
two might be effected without great difficulty, either for
joint action or for union with the army in Eut Callieia
and the Bakowina, as circumstances might require. The
latter army corps may number 100,000 men. That of Trim.
sylvanta has a strength of 120,000, and that of the Princi-
palities about 50,000. -

To these several Austrian corps we find opposed in the
first instance the corps °mounded by General Paniutine
end the first corps of infantry under the orders of General
Stowers. It Is known that by the terms of the recent im-
perial rescript, dated Dec. 25, the command of General
Simon *steads over the provinces of Livonia and Cour-
land.

We are now able to fir with some swung the various
position. of the Russian army in Poland since its concen-
tration three months ago. Its main strength continues to
be stationed within the triangle formed by the right bank
of the Vistula between Wilna, Grodno. and Warsaw.
This ,area, and always will serve, u the chief basis whence
the military opentions may be carried on, and to which
either the entire army or each detached army corps can
always retire, in order to reform in cue of a reverse.
Except the few regiments of Rauian cavalry scattered
over the country, the left bank continues to remain very
bare of troops. Prussia, therefore, has nothing serious to
apprehend on the side of her Polish frontiers.

THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT AND THE

MURATISTS.

Yesterday's Moniteur contains the following official
note, treating of a letter recently published by Prince
Murat :

" PARIS, Oor. 6.

" The Emperor'. government ha. seen with deep
regret the publication of a letter on the affairs of
Naples, which would lead to the belief that the
Emperor's policy, instead of being frank and loyal, as
it has always been towards foreign governments,
could secretly favour certain pretensions. The go-
vernment openly disavows them, under whatever
form they are brought forward."

1 THE BOMBARDMENT OF DUNAMUNDE AND

BULLEN.

RIGA, Barr. 29.

As the season is getting so far advanced, without
our seeing anything of the allied fiesta, we were
beginning to think there would be no bom-
bardment this year, when yesterday morning at
an early hour the inhabitants of this city were sud-
denly awakened by a loud and severe cannonade. It
appears that during the night eight British men-o►-
war—four line-of-battle ships, • frigate, and three
corvettes—had approached our coast unperceived,
and at daybreak opened their fire upon our batteries

at Ihinamiinde, the mouth of the Duos. The bom-
bardment was kept up for nearly three hours, with-
out, however, inflicting much damage on the bit-
teries, except dismounting • few guns; after which
the hostile squadron stood off to the westward, and
took up a position opposite the colony of %lien,
situated at the mouth of one of the channels of the
Duna. Here they opened a heavy fire on the bat-
teries, which was but feebly answered by the Rus-
sian artillerymen. This second bombardment lasted
for two hours, and the damage done was considerably
more important than at Diinamiinde. About noon
the ships drew off altogether, and disappeared in a
north-easterly direction.
Intelligence has this day been received here of a
similar hostile visit at Old Salim, a small town situated
at the mouth of the river Salts, about 50 miles
higher op the coast. On Tuesday last, the 25th of
September, a couple of large steam-frigates, under
the British flag, arrived off the month of the river
Sas, and cast anchor within gunshot of the town.
A boat was immediately lowered, which, manned
by an officer and seven sailors, proceeded to sound
and reconnoitre the mouth of the river and the
channel. On having accomplished this, they gyre al
signal to the ships, when four more boat., contain-
