THE HEROES OF BARB.

We paid, yesterday, a brief and inadequate tribute
to General WI ores, for his services at Kars. We
have now the pleasure of adding the names of the
General's gallant and efficient staff. His &Wade-
oamp is Captain TEESDALE. lie has also been most
ably supported by Colonel LAX; of the Madras En
&sere, and Captain THOMPSON, of the 68th Bengal
Native Infantry. All three are young men. Captain
THOMPSON was severely wounded in the arm, in the
Burmese war, and returned home upon sick leave. Bat
his eagerness to serve his country induced him to volun-
teer for the East before his wound was entirely cured.
He has gone through the arduousdefenceof Bars with
his arm in a sling. This is the true metal of which
British soldiers are made. The privations suffered by 11
the garrison of Ears have been great ; our gallant
countrymen learned to regard horse-flesh and cat's-
flesh as "dainty fare." They speak in the highest
terms of the qualities of the Turkish soldier when
rightly ellicend. The Muchir and General Wu.-
tuns are on the best terms. As for the Pachas they
have the good sense to keep quiet is their tents,
smoking, and declaring that their trust is in GOD and
the English officers.

noon a Privy Council was hold at Windsor to Ix the

Mae day will be announced in the Gaudio to night.

under the command of a French rear-admiral, has
approached Odessa, and out anchor three miles and
a half from the shore. A steam-weal, with three
gunboat., has approached the roads, and also out
anchor.

"' Seven o'clock in the Evening.—The squadron,
composed of sixteen vessels of various sizes, remains
quietly moored before Odessa. A squadron of eleven
gunboats, sixteen steam frigates, and six ships of the
line, on board of which may be perceived troops for
dieembarkatioo, is approaching the roadstead. More.
over, twenty large vessels can be signalled at sea.

Di. SOUTHWOOD Smrrs.—Foe more than a
(tauter of a century of zealous service and profes-
sional morifice Dr. Southwood Smith has at length
been rewarded with the privilege of beginning the
world again. The end of his unfailing success in
*meting sanitary reform—not oily by promul-
gating the scientific truths respecting it, bat by
personal labour—is to find himself obliged to ream-
meson his career as a practising physician. Doubt-
less Dr. Smith has not opened his 000eulting rooms
for private pearl*, in vale ; but it is a bitter discou-
ragement to those who devote their talents and their
energies to the beet interests of the public to find
that, while drones of family and inflames burthen
the pension list, men of action and skill, without
oonnezioes," Gen expect no better fats than that
which we are now recording of the foremost sanitary
reformer of the time.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, TZIIIIIDAT Imam.

The financial crisis at Paris matinees. Many
failures are expected to occur, and mention is already
made of a great banking house at Nancy which will
be obliged to suspend payment. Nancy has hitherto
enjoyed a very excellent reputation u a commercial
town, and this statesosat is in consequenee very
serious.

The Bank Directors have had a meeting to-day,l
land it is affirmed that they have resolved to raise the
rate of discount to 8 per mut., and to take bills of
exchange at 90 days' date. It is said, moreover,
that the Directors have adopted a resolution not to
kind mom than 20 per cont. upon railway shares,
which will have the effect of almost abolishing this
kind of loans, inasmuch as no one will be contested
with receiving upon 80,000 fr. cfactione the sum of
10,0006.

M. Rothschild set out yesterday for London. It
is stated that he is entrusted with the conduct of an
arrangement between the Bank of France and the

gamy will retard to Vienna towards the ad of the swath.

The foreign press has been speculating for some
days on the absence of M. de /later*ld. This absence
has nothing political in it, and is not connected with
any of the negotiations which have been recently
discussed. M. do Hatersld returned to Cologne at
the time of the visit of the Xing of Prussia to the
Rhenish provinces, and he went thence to Berlin, if
we may believe oar private information on the sub-
ject, solely on amount of personal matters. Rim ho-
liday is on the point of terminating.
Th. following telegraphic despatch was received
today from liansillse:

poet that the Council of the Bank of Francs, above
referred to, had raised its rate 'of discount to 6 per
cent., and reduced its &dunes' on railway shares.
