WAR DlPAlallitiT, Barr. 12.
Lord Puma* has this day received a despatch
and its enclosures, of which the following an copies,
addressed to his lordship by General Simpson :
Before Bibestopel, 860.1.
My Lord,—The siege operation dilein the Put
week have progressed slowly, the brightness of the
nights rendering the week to be performed a task of
great difficulty. The head of the sap is now about
160 yet& from the salient of the Ream, and the
enemy interrupt the work by every mesas in their
power.
On the night of the 28th a 13-inch shell fell into a
mine on the left face of the Miamian, which ex-
, causing some few ossualtiee, but in no way
Interrupting the continuance of the fire.
On the night of the 30th ultimo, the Resdan
pickets made a rush at our advanced trench, upset a
few gallons, and unfortunately killed Lieutenant
Preston, of the 97th Regiment. In this affair Oap-
Peehell, of the 77th Boa ow* who egmensa‘ed
admitted plitty, mit -Co "et Ras-
bury, of the 23rd Regiment, who commanded the
supports, behaved with great gallantry.
Great activity prevails ea the part of the garrison
is tasking use of the new raft bridge across the har-
bour, and stores of all kinds are daily transported to
the ;meth side.

Large working parties are employed in throwing
up works on the north side, but as yet they are in too
=finished& state to judge of their exact astute.
From the information we continue to receive, it
appears that the enemy is concentrating his force
between the Mackenzie Heights and Fort Constan-
tine ; and although several minor changes of pcsition
have been made, no movement of importance has
occurred to indicate a positive intention to attack.
All oar accounts confirm the reports of the great
leases of the enemy daily in Sebastopol, and that some
discontent prevails in their ranks.
I have the honour to enclose the lists of casualties.

Although the bathing season is over, and the mime-

and more than compensated for by the liveiy bustle
created by the presence of the German Legion. In

SPAIN AND THE WESTERN POWERS.

The Spanish journals arrived by the lut mail state
that although the expected communication relative to
the Western alliance has not yet been laid before the
Cortes, the esposi des motifs of the bill on the effec-
tive of the army and navy alludes to the contingency
of the participation of Spain in the war. The Bpoca
pretends that the contingent to be furnished by Spain
will be 25,000 men, who will be commanded by the
Marquis of Duero.

THE WORKING OF THE MAINE LAW.

A little more them two loofahs ago the Prohibitory
Liver Lan, which had been passed by the Seward whip
1111111.1.na with the ultra temperance men, went into
asesinal rft,ct. Thu fu it has proved what all namable
neon knave it would, a nullity. It is not observed in the
Maw, and a very limited obedience is rendered it is the
deanery. Decisions under it have been set aside by the
Dupresair Court, and now await their heal adjudication is
the Court of Appeals. The only provision of the statute
which has been observed fairhiully is that providing for the
arrest and puoishrnett of public drunter& It would seem
that these fate woold open the eyes of the advocates of se-
am* prohibition to the truth that there is somethieg radi-
ally wrong in the law itself, that the praciple epee
which it is hosed is faulty, and that the law mat neeseendly
be inoperative. It is useless to say that the combined ie-
fluenee of those pecuniarily interested in the liquor traffic
has defe.ted the proper working of the law. All the
Mousy they can ournand, all the opinion, they can
pay for, all the political influeree they eta bring to
bar would icareely be a feather's weight in opposition
to a just law, so held by the masses of the people.
On, warts are not obninioue to the charge of equality,
and they bays &least universally held the law un-
esmatitutiosal— the popular sentiment is strongly in fe-
wer of t. marmite and good m Tale, and ready to sustain
an measure which contributes to public peace and
private virtue, and yet scarcely a man can be found who is
willing to endorse this law in its present shape. It Is a
question of great importance whether the act shall be re-
paled, or whether it shall amide a dead letter upon our
"teats bake. An inoperative law is won" than no law at
all, henna it tends to lessen respect for all our laws, and
induces opposition to their requirements. Is the present
'audition of the natter society has not the security it en-
joyed ruder the old license system, and the necessity for
some immediate move is daily more apparent. The 'earl-
Meet of a prohibitory law has proved a failure, and the
quiletiOa now is, shall we have a law that will prevent the
sale of intemperance without inhingina on personal and
property ;Win. This prohibitory system has been found
venally inefficient in western states and in New Reglad,
sibses it that went into operation. Public sonatisece in it
is gradually bat certainly diminiahing. The result, sooner
whiter, will be a return to sound principles in legislation
ea this tolled, and we hope New York will be the first
stale to set the zzareple.—Butfaio Courtier. Itis a signifi-
cant fact that, so tar as the retains have bees received,

law has been returned to the legislature.—Poraarid (V. S.)

GENERAL LA MARMORA AND THE NEWS-

The Sardinian journals publish the following
order of the day issued by General La Marmora :

KADIHOI, Ossr. 16.

The oorrespondenoe of the military and civilians who form
part of the expedition with the journals is attended with
onions ineonvenknee; these lettere innate the operations
and describe the positions, forces, and preparations in every
kind of way ; they are prejudicial by their revealing to the
Gamy what it concerns us that hi should not know; if they
discuss what has happened or what has beak done, they
tree& upon criticism, which is adverse to discipline, and
rash an abuse cannot be tolerated in a well organised army ;
if they speak of the armies of the powers with whom we are
allied, they give rise to complaints, and they disturb that
harmony without which it is impossible for the alliance to
bear frail.

If, is order to remedy the
they endeavour to write on matters altogether ambiguous,

SIII,—I have the honour to transmit the weekly
state of sick to the 15th instant, and have much
satisfaction in being able to state that the health of
the army continues to improve. During the period
embraced by this return the admissions from wounds,
owing to the assault of the Redan battery, have been
numerous, and the number of deaths, I am sorry to
say, is very considerable ; but the cases that remain
are for the most part doing well, and a large portion
of them are of a slight nature, and many of the men
will soon be restored to the ranks.
Cholera continues to decrease, and may now be said
to have almost disappeared ; and during the present
week there has been diminution of every other form
of discus, u will be seen by the following abstract,
in which it will be observed, that gunshot accidents
alone are in excess over the previous week:

STOCKHOLM, Ocr. 2.
The journey of the Baron de Bondi and his special
mission to Paris—ostensibly to present the French
Emperor with the portrait of the Kiog of Sweden—
has given rise to much conversation, and formed the
subject of numerous speculations io oar journals. No-
body seriously believes that the above-named noble-
man, a rich and influential personage, who is, more-
over, the Marshal of the Court and Director of the
Royal Theatre (Hoftheater-Intendant), should be sent
on such a paltry mission, when he had only returned
a few days ago from a journey oft wo months on leave
of absence, and just at the season, too, when the
arrangements necessary for the opening of the win-
ter theatrical campaign require his presence at home.
It is therefore shrewdly suspected that the Baron is
entrusted with a secret mission, and the general im-
pression is that it is connected with a change in our
foreign policy.
In several parts of the kingdom the scarcity and
high prices of provisions have occasioned some serious
demonstrations, and reached such an extent that the
government have found it necessary to make a coa-
-1 cession, and have therefore opened the port., and now
permit the free admission of grain, and other articles
of food hitherto prohibited. This measure is likely
to give general satisfaction, as it is of such an exten-
sive nature, including "corn of all descriptions, bread,
biscuit, groats, maize, rice, potatoes, butter, cheese,
meat, cattle, bacon, hams, fish, tallow, oil, and
stearine."

New Your, SEPT. 20.—Account, from New
Orleans, of the 18th Sept., state that the town of Proctors

THE WAR IN ASIA.-ALLEO
OF THE TURKS.

DEFEAT

The following is from the Moisiteur of yesterday

_"TREBIZOND. Barr. 19.

"The news of the taking of Elebestopo l has pro-
duced here, as it will produce throughout the world,
the liveliest enthusiasm. The Pacha caused five
salvoes of twenty-one cannon shots each to be fired
ofE The Greeks could not conceal the profound
chagrin they felt at the brilliant feat of assn on the
part of the allies, the consents/nose of which they
easily foresee.

The last courier from Erseroum has brought news
from Bars of the Bth instant. The inhabitants were
then ignorant of Omer Pacha's arrival in our district.
This circumstance cannot fail to give new vigour to
the defence of Kars.

-WI

"A fact, in itself regrettable, appears to indicate
that the place is far from being destitute of provisions.
It is asserted that Vusif Puha, in concert with
General Williams, sent away from Bus from 1,000
to 1,200 horses, with 600 menu an escort, in order
to economise the forage. At some distance
from the city the convoy is said to have
been attacked by about 3,000 Russians, who
made 200 prisoners and captured 900 horses.
The other horses, after dispersing over the plain, are
said to have in part reached Erzeroam. It is clear
that if provisions had fallen short at Kars, the gene-
rals who command the place, instead of sending these
thousand or twelve hundred horses to Erseroum,
would have retained them, for the purpose of securing
a supplement of food until the arrival of the announced
reinforcements, or the setting in of the snow, should
compel the Russians to return to their winter quar-
ters."

The Invalidly Rum, of Sept. 30, publishes a report
fromPeneral Mouravieff, in which the latter says that
on Sept. 11th he gained a battle against 3,000 Turks,
and made prisoner the gallant Aly Nobs. He pre-
tends to hays taken four guns and three colours. The
despatch says that 400 Turks were killed.

ES BETWEEN THE TURKS AND
ARABS AT TRIPOLL

Yesterday's Moniteur contains the following :

" TRIPOLI, Parr. 24.

"The day before yesterday the Naha sent out about
6,000 men to attack the Arabs, who were at some
distance from Tripoli. The °amber lasted for several
hours, without any decisive result. The Turks are
entrenched in the same position, and the Arabs from
time to time make a few skirmishes. In the battle
of the day before yesterday the Arabs captured two
guns, but these were subsequently retaken by the
Turks. Glhouma was not present at this affair—
there was only a tribe of the neighbourhood on the
ground."

Sir,—ln transmitting the weekly state of sick to
the 22nd instant, I have mach satisfaction in stating
that the sanitary condition of the army is satisfactory,
and were the casualties of war deducted from the list,
it would be very favourable indeed. As it is, the ad-
missions to strength during the present week have
only been 2.98 per cent., and some of these were
transfers from regimental to general hospitals.

The deaths to strength have been 0.20 per cent. ;
and the sick to well is 10.02 per cent. Last week
these proportions were, 7.22, 0.40, and 12.00 per
cent. respectively. Deducting the casualties of war,
the proportion of sick to well this week would be
6.26 per cent., and that of deaths to strength 0.05 per
neut.

The following abstract shows the near approxima-
tion of disease and death between this and the pre-
ceding week : _ _ . •

The only head under which there is a remark-
able
and decided decrease in the admissions is
wounde, and 2 out of the 84 of these were trans-
fers to the General Hospital at Balaklava. The
number of deaths from wounds is, I regret to say,
considerable, but a great many men were shot
through the upper part of the chest in the assault
on the Redao, and wounds of that nature are
always serious; but a large proportion of the wounds
were slight, as is evinced by the discharges this
and the preceding week, amounting to about 1,000
men, d. ducting those transferred to General Hospital.
Cholera has nearly disappeared, and there has
been no increase in the other forms of bowel com-
plaints, and the health of all the divisions is reported
by the different superintending medical officers to be
highly satisfactory. In the 3rd Division no death
occurred daring the week, and in the 4th only one,
from an iajory of the skull. During the week we have
tied strong equinoctial gales, with heavy rain, which
him reduced the temperature considerably and ren-
dered the weather delightful.

The men are employed on fatigue duties in making
roads and preparing for their own comforts during
the winter; but the night duty is light. Their ra-
tions are ;told and abundant, and everything is fa-
vourable to health.—l have, &a,

JUSTICES' JUSTICE.

At the Petty Sessions at Wealbridge, near Ponte-
fract, last week, William Lund, farmer, was °barged with
aseaultleg the Hon. Stanhope Hawke sad the Hon. Martin
' Sheldon Hawke, on the 15th instant.
Lord Hawke, brother of the complainant, was amongst
the eaglet:atm on the beach, but retired during the hear-
ing of the ease.
It appeared that on the 15th ult., the complainant, when
riding out to nest the bounds, met the detentlant,with a dou-
ble-barrelled gun os hie shoulder, and Mr. S. Hawke said,
"You are after year old trade again. I saw you shoots hare on
Tseaday, saint I catch you again I shall summon you."
Defendant said, " You never saw ms shoot a hare." Mr.
8. Hawke repeated the charge, and defendant Galled him a
liar. Mr. Hawke rejoined, "If you Pay that again, I will
kcook your -- bead off ;" and taking the small end Of
his whip in his hand, he raised the whip as if to strike the
defendant, on which the defendant held up his gun by the
middliku it to protest himself.
In defence a witness, who gave his evidence against com-
plainant with reluctance, said that the defendant did not
present the gas in a threatening meaner.
Mr. 8. Hawke, however, said it was raised as if to shoot
Mee and his brother ; but, on emesszeminatiou, Mr.
Hawke admitted that he had turned back again to the
defendant and raised his whip, "it might be in a threat-
ening manner," before the tlefesdaut raised kis gun.
The magistrates said the farmer had committed a most
savage assault, and fined him 2L for each awash, with costs.
The mousy was instantly paid.
The essaplathaat's solicitor applied to have the defendant
bowed over to keep the pews.
The Chairman sad the magistrates had already made up
their minds to do so.
Tie defendant's solicitor said the seatthee bad been
already named, and the fine paid, earl no farther punish-
=at mild be added.
Taa magistrates expressed their regret at this, but re-
quired the defeadent to prowl's that he would not molest
the complainants for prosecuting him.

Seagrave, who deposed that about eleven years ago, the
bankrupt had taken Snorers Lodge, Kennington-oval, for
her. .13his found the furniture; Mr. Clapham never bed the
means te do so. She let part of the house. Afterwards she
went to midi with the bankrupt at the Rose. She had re-
ceived part of the furniture from a sister at Ipswich. Had
resided about six months in Gough.streat, Gray's.inn•rotd,
before going to Seagrave Lodge. The furniture, which was
her own, had been removed to 68, Samford-street.
Mr. Carter, for the binkrupt,' represented the case as one
of unavoidable lose tad misfortune, and asked for a first
clan certificate. Though the debts proved amounted only
to 4241., a sum of 8001. had been paid into the hands of the
official assignee. The bankrupt bad paid 6001. for the
Run, which turned Hutto be worthless. Fifteen months
ago he was worth 1,4001., he was sow without a shilling.
His Honour said he should have been glad, having regul
to the amount of the assets, if he could have awarded a ow-
tailgate of the highest Blass; but the bankrupt had acted im-
properly, in going away when pressed by creditors ; and a
second clue certificate would be granted. The assignees
were justified in instituting an inquiry respecting the tar.

rently as his wife.

THE RUSSIAN FRIGATES AURORA AND DWINA.—

the Russian frigates, the Aaron and Dwina, had been cap-
tured by a combined English and French rquadron. These
accounts, which we only notice because they are already

might be proved that they are a mere echo of false news,
which, for • time, circulated in England.

DEATH FROM A RAILWAY AMIDE

A youth named David Henry Jams, aged 17, •
clerk in the general manager"s oilers at the Menebestet
and Sheffield railway station, Manehes,er, died at as early
hoar yesterday snider the following CifeIIUISISUCOS. On
Monday the Bth inst. he went to give some letters to the
=of the 1140 a.m. train to take to Hull. The train,
ring the station, would have to piss the door leading
to the office, and Jones attempted to jump upon the engine,
ea he had been accustomed to do, though against role, to
ride to the oaks doer. The engine was in motion at the
time, and he missed his footing. The consequence was that
his right foot slipped down upon the near rail, and one of
the wheels of the engine went over the fore part of it and
snaked it. Ile held on by the rail of the engine until
his cries bad induced the engine-driver to atop, and he
was thee taken down to the Manchester Royal Infirmary,
where the surgeons (and also Dr. Harrison and Mr. Smith,
surgeon, of Mosley street, who attended at the request of
the general manager of the railway), stated that amputa-
tion of the fore part of the foot would be nemeary. The
father and mother of the youth (who were made acquainted
with this opiaioo), however. objected to the amputation,
sad insisted upon his removal home, where they might
meld" a surgeon themselves. They afterwards took him
to the surgeon, who is the present successor of the cele-
brated " OldSeld-lane Doctor," in whoa* powers the bum-
bler dares have great faith, and who appear. to have
Omen he could save the foot. Os Thursday last, how-
ever, isortifleation was discovered to have commenced, and
the leg was then amputated a little below the hue. This
proved too much for the anfortsuato sufferer ia his thou
'shouted state, and he gradually sank said yesterday

Ilooked for was what occurred—a courteous reception
by some high officers of the Chinese government at
the month of the Peibo, and a promise that
fo? a revision of the treatiea would be colOsTrseatill.
Neither Sir John Bowring nor hir.SPLane could have
had any good reason to anticipate a more favourable
result. for there is no obligation on the pest of the
Chinese government to make any essential alteration
in the treaties, which ntartover expressly stipulate
that all negotiatioue with foreigners shall be con-
ducted by the Governor• General either of the Two
liwang or Two Kiang, through whom only the
treaty powers are to communicate with Peking.
Two deaths have occurred within the past fort-
