DESPATCH FROM OMER PACHA.
(Translation.)

Head Qaarters, Eupstoria, Feb., 1845.

My Lord,—l have the honour to inform your lordship
that the enemy attacked Eupateria on the morning of the
17th instant.

The troops intended for this attack bad left the camp be-
fore Sebastopol six days ago, and other troop. from Perekop
and Simpheropol had joined them in the night of the 16th',
and the morning of the 17th, in the fist ground that lays
behind the heights that are before Enpatoria.
As far as one could guess, and according to the informa-
-1
tioa furnished by prisoners, the enemy mustered thirty•six
battalions of infantry, six regiments of cavalry, four hun-
dred Cossacks, eighty pieces of artillery in position, and'
some troops of horse artillery, which were in reserve.
The attack commenced at daylight by a strong cannonade,
during which the enemy used even thirty-two pounders.
At first the Russians showed themselves in great force along
our whole position, bat, seeing that our left was protected
by men of war, which went there when the first shot was
fired, they concentrated against our eentre and right.
I then requested the senior officer of the English royal
navy to send the gssa-boat Viper to the right, and to take
up a position near the French steamer Vetoes and the Turk-
ish steamer Schebfaer, on board of which was the Vice-
Admiral, Ahmed Paoha. At the same time I reinforced
the right with some battalions of infantry and some pieces
of artillery, which I withdrew from the left.
The enemy continued his fire, without awing, from the
position held by his artillery, supported by a powerful fire
of skirmishers, and then his infantry, carrying plank' and

ladders, three times tried to storm the works. Each time it
was repulsed, and obliged to retire under our Are, but it was
enabled to effect this retrograde movement under corer of its
artillery, and of heavy muses of cavalry.
Oar cavalry, which at the present moment only masters
_ _

abut 200 or 300 horses, ant which charged the Russian
infantry at toe commencement of its retreat, did not dare
to pursue it in the face of such heavy messes.
This superiority in artillery and cushy prevented our

disturbing the Russians on their retreat. After font
hours and a half fighting, they commenced retiring in
three different directions, towards the bridge of Lake Sasik,
towards Top Marini, and towards the Petekop road. •

I have every reason to be satisfied with the conduct of
my troops during the day. Although behind works only
half finished, and not fully armed, they showed a bold
front, and were very steady.
Our losses are not very numerous, but they are to be de-
plored. We regret the death of Selina Paella, Lieut.-Gene-
ral, commanding the Egyptian troops. We had, moreover,
87 killed, and 277 wounded ; 79 horses killed, and 18
wounded.

AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna of the 30th ult., in the Silesian
Gault* says.—" The plenipotentiaries of the Allies,
after several conference., have come to an under-
standing concerning a protocol which completes the
treaty of December 2 and explains folly the four
points. The definitive meeting took place the day
before yesterday. and immediately after Count Baol
informed Prince Gortchakoff of the meaning
attached to the guarantees drawn up against Rosin.
The Prince was at the same time informed that, u
an unreserved acceptant* would be insisted on,
Russia had only to give her reply in a simple
_yes
or no, within the period fixed by the treaty of De-
cember 2. The prince the same evening despatched
a courier to St. Petersburg asking for further instruc-
tions, which he expects to-morrow by telegraph.
It is said that in the interpretation given to the four
points, the idea of bringing about peace before the
first of the year is not departed from, but on the other
hand, the powers are determined, in cue of a refusal
on the part of Russia, to conclude a treaty of offensive
alliance."
London, England, 1855-01-04

PRUSSIA AND THE WEST.

The Berlin correspondent of the Independance
Beige gives the following as a closer analysis than
has yet appeared of the Prussian despatch of the 19th
sent to Paris and London :

The despatch fleet alludes to the notification of the treaty
which was made on the evening of the 16th by the three
envoys in separate conferences. Id. de Manteuffel commu-
nicated the treaty to the Kiln/. Piaui& fully appreciates
the importance thereof, and in making it the object of a
conscientious examination the cabinet of Berlin has been
guided by the sincere wish to associate itself as much as its
convictions and the interests of its country permit, to the
common work of the mestablisment of peace on just and
permanent bases.
Prussia has seen with satisfaction that the protocols of
Vienna, which still form the common basis, are mentioned
in the treaty.
If she did not take part in the exchange of the notes of
the ,Bth of August, she at least gave her moral support
thereto.
_ .

The diplomatic concert with the other powers, therefore,
still octets.

In consequence of a tranmetfon with Ans'ria, a Crouse-
tion motived by the menacing attitude of Russia, Prussia
has even engaged herself, under certain eventualities, to
military co-oper►tion.
There exists, therefore, already, an analogy between
the position of Prussia and that of the Powers who signed
the treaty of December.
Prussia is disposed to join in new stipulations and to
come to an understanding, the pacific weight of which
would be of a nature to exercise a salutary and decisive in-
fluence.

As regsrds the treaty of the 2nd December, Prussia ob-
serves that it bears the stamp of an entente with Austria.
Prussia adheres to the general tendencies of that treaty, and
Is ready to conclude an analogous arrangement.
With this object, and to fix with certainty eventual deci-
sions, it leads naturslly to the question, what would be the
I interpretation of the guarantees which Russia has adopted
without any reserve and in their primitive form (redaction
primitive.)
This interpretation of the guarantees will be the pivot of
the diplomatic measures.
The more Prussia appreciates the step taken by the
powers who signed the treaty, and the more desirous she is
of responding to the sentiments which dictated that step,
the more does she hope to obtain confidential explanations
on the interpretation of the guarantees.

TURKEY.

Lord Stratford de Redcliffe has addressed a circa-
iar to all the British consuls in the Levant, inform-
ing them of the important decrees issued by the
Sultan for effecting various salutary reforms in the
administration of the laws; doing away with a
number of long existing abuses, and abolishing the
trade in slaves in Georgia and Circassia; and urging
on the consular agents to give every assistance by
advice and exhortations to the Turkish authorities,
who, in carrying into execution the said decrees,
will, in all probability, have to contend with long-
established prejudices and national traditions.

The English steamer Arabia, haring a strong de-
' tsehment of Freoch troops on board, ran aground on the
24th ult., on the Lighthouse point at the entrance of the
Strait of Messina, but was got off in a few hours after with-
out damage, and continued her voyage towards the Crimea.
The French officers and soldiers on board speak in the
highest terms of the conduct of the captain and crew of the
Arabia towards them.

THE POLICE COURTS.

BOW-STREET.
John Joice and Robert Burke were charged with bur-
glary.
Police-constable Jolla Stallen, F 145, was on duty in
Holborn between 1 and 2 o'clock in the morning. Oa
trying the shop-door of Mr. Challenor, tailor, at 240, he
found it unfastened. Somebody pushed it from the inside,
but the officer forced it open, and went in. He saw the
two prisoners in the shop, and asked them what they were
doing. They replied, " All right, my boy." Observing
that several rolls of cloth and some ready-made clothes
had been piled together, apparently for subsequent removal,
he asked them if they belonged to the house. They replied
" No," spoil which he rang the house-bell, and called to the
waterman of a cab-stand close at hand. The maid-servant
and Mr. Chapman (prosecutor's foreman) came down
stairs, and disclaimed all knowledge of the prisoners, while
the latter identified two coats on each of the prisoner's
backs as belonging to his employer, as well as the ether
property is the shop. The prisoners were taken to the
police-station in a cab, and one of them was recognised as
an old offender. On their way to Bow-street the officer
beard one of the prisoners say to his companion, " It's a
case with us, so it's no use being down hearted." The
stolen property was worth 301.
Inspector Dodd said he had been unable to ascertain how
the premises were entered, as none of the doors or windows
had been forced. His own opinion was that when the ser-
vant went for the family beer, at about 10 o'clock the pre-
vious night,—leaviag the door unfastened for the moment—
the two prisoners having watched their opportunity,
managed to get in and secrete themselves in the house. An
empty cash-box bad been broken open and a desk.
Mr. Jardine committed the prisoners for trial.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

William Kidd, Elcia Kidd, and Rosina Payne, were
brought up for final examination, charged with having com-
mitted a desperate assault on Ellen Anderson.
The prosecutrix, a young Irishwoman, married, but se-
parated from her husband, and now on the streets, while
stooping down, adjusting her shoe, in which she had placed
five half sovereigns for safety, had been shamefully as-
saulted, without provocation on her part, by the three de-
fendants, who besides knocking her down and kicking her,
had torn a portion of her hair away by the roots.
Mr. Wakeling, for the defence, said his clients had been
enjoying themselves freely at a party, and on their
way home having been hustled and robbed, dealt out blows
without intending to hurt any one in particular.
Mr. Bingham said he had not the least doubt but that
complainant's evidence was trustworthy. He should fine
Kidd 3/. ; his wife, 21. ; and Payne 11.
The fines were paid.
Received 51. from C. H. W., for the poor box.

NEW COURT.

11701 i TUN 13C070111.
Alexander McDonald, who was convicted upon Monday
of Laving forged a bill of exchange, was brought up for
sentence.

The Recorder, in passing sentence, said that although at
the time of the trial some doubts existed upon his mind, as
to whether the jury might not bare their doubts so far
raised as to give him (prisoner) the benefit of it, he entirely
concurred in their verdict, which was. very proper one, and
believed that they (the jury) thought him (the prisoner)l
fully guilty of what was the blackest part of the offence,
namely, defrauding the poor orphan aed hopelessly mums.
deriog away the money which belonged to her. The case
was a peculiar one, and, under all the circumstances, he
should order him to be kept in penal servitude for four

years.
This. with an unimportant cue of felony, closed the
buaineu of this court.

A mistake his arisen in supposing that the ea
assaulting columns got into the Korniloff bastion as es
Bth of September by means of the bridge. This Wel eA
so. The bridge was net thrown woes until snot
minutes after the Ist Regiment of Zoltan—the tette
lion being about 700 strong—had crossed the disda
climbed th► parapets, and got into the work. A psi
number of the 7th Regiment of the Liss, which follows*
the Zowee, also got into the work by climbing see
each farm of it. The way the bridge was enamel
was this:—Lugo rollers, not unlike Baldish geode
rollers, wers.brought to the edge of the diteh.;ffiroor
plea
of sufficient length were then laid oa *bees sad thrust owe
to the °prod* side, where, the ends Wog provided wok
spikes for the purpose, they became Aced in the slops of the
parapet near the original situation of the here, all uses of
which, however, had been destroyed by the projectile di*
charged against it, and the &Wog earth sad giber teem
above. The advantage of this plait, over the ordinary pr
of scaling ladders employed by us, was that a bridge we
made foithe immediate passage of field artillery to deimi
the work, when taken against attacks in the test to w
cover it.

OUR ARMY IN THE CRIMEA.

(FROM OUR SPECIAL

CAMP, SEBASTOPOL, Ocr. 8.
The expedition to which I alluded in my last letter
sailed the day before yesterday. The force was not
se great as was generally believed that it would be,
the French contingent of land troops not exceeding
eight thousand men. General Spencer's brigade of
four regiments, the battery of Held artillery, and a
handful of cavalry, just enough for vidette duties,
make up about two thousand five hundred men. All
the screw line-of-battle-ships, as well as the smaller
steamers, have left. The mortar-vessels had pre-
ceded the force some days. It is generally believed
that the object of this expedition is the bombard-
ment and destruction of the forts at the entrance of
the sea-inlet which receives the waters of the two
rivers Bug and Doeiper. One of these forts is on
the promontory known u Kinbnrn, the other on a
jetting point of the mainland immediately opposite,
and both are said to be within perfect reach of the
fire of our gunboats. The occupation of Cape Kin-
barn, commanding, as this position does, the passage
by water both of Kherson and Nicolaieff, will be the
source of great annoyance to the enemy, and in all
probability thwart the execution of some plans that
are said to have ken determined upon against our
ports in the Crimea; to be carried into effect at the
first opportunity after the blockading ships have been
compelled to retire for more secure shelter. Beyond
doubt the departure of the blockading ships, under
ordinary circumstances, would be the signal for com-
munication between Odessa and the two towns
already mentioned ; and this, at least, should Kinburn
be taken, will be prevented.
It is not improbable that Odessa itself will be
visited by the expedition on its way, though the pre-
parations do not warrant the belief that anything
beyond a demonstration will be undertaken. Ac-
cording to the reports of some of the prisoners of war
' who have lately returned from being exchanged at
that part, the destruction and capture of the town
and fortifications would not be so difficult a matter as
some have represented. The alleged increase of de-
fences since the former bombardment of the military
works of the port is said to have been much exagge-
rated. The appearance of the fleet and mortar
vessels before Odessa will not merely cease alarm in
the place itself, but probably draw from Nicolaieff the
6 troops which are stationed there ready to march
either towards Perekop or Odessa, according to
! exigency.

THE LAW OF HUSBAND AND WIFE.

In the Exeter District County Court on Tneed*y,
judgment was pronounced in a cue which lint came before
the court a month ago. The plaintiff is landlord of the,
Bade Haven, and the claim was for maintenance of defen-
dant's wife, who left her husband's house in consequence of
• dispute, and was taken in and maintained by the plaintiff.
His Honour (J. Tyrrell, Esq.) said this was a case of some
importance, and therefore he bad allowed it to stand over
that he might give it his mature consideration. Mr. Whip-
ham sad his wife were living together, and his wife thought
proper to leave his house contrary to his express desire.
Now, under each circumstances. the question came
to be this; is the husband liable to the person
who takes her in and supplies her with neces-
saries? In his Honour's opinion he was not. He
had looked very carefully through the cases, and he did not
see one in which for a claim in such circumstances the
husband could be held liable. If a wife left her husband
altogether under • fair apprehension of personal violence,
that was equivalent to the husband turning her out of
doors, and in that ewe he would be liable for necessaries
supplied to her; bat he was not liable for his wife's board
and lodging at the house of • third person, when the wife
I in consequence of a dispute, and it had not been in
this case shown even that it was is consequence of a die
put* in which the husband was to blame that the wife
left. It must be shown that the wife left in eons&
sequence of something which rendered it Improper
for her to live with him—such as that be had
Introduced another woman. His Honour having quoted a
case to show that the husband was not to be bud liable for
goods furnished to his wile living apart from him, unless it
was shown at the same time that there was in the dissgree.
meat between them sufficient to justify the wife so living
apart, said that in this case no such evidence had been pro.
duced. He had no evidence whatever before him to show
that there was any cause to justify Mrs. Whipham leaving
her husband; sad, however bard it might be supposed to
be for the publican who took her in and supplied her with
necessaries—and he found &charge for brandy grog alluded
to in the note—it was quite clear that the husband was not
liable. It might be said it was hard for the publican in such
circumstances, but it was his duty to make inquiry under
what circumstances she comes to him, and he might refuse
to give her a night's lodging, unless the money was paid
down.— Western Times.

THE CRIMEA.

Accounts from the Crimea to the 11th reached
Vienna on the 18th, vin Verne. According to these
despatches it was thought that a grand encounter
between the two armies would take place about the
20th, for it appeared quite impossible that the
Russians could be able to prevent the French from
advancing against Baktchi-Berai. General Gortcha-
koff had therefore only the alternative of either ac-
cepting a battle, or making a retrograde movement
behind the Belbek, to endeavour to reach Simphe-
ropol. The journals trace oat also numerous plans
of campaign, all probably as problematical as the
news of a great battle on a fixed day. They also
speak of an account said to have been received, in a
letter from Bucharest of the 9th, of the appearance of
a number of gunboats belonging to the combined
fleet, off Ismail. The bombardment of that strongly
fortified piece of Bessarabia is said by that account
to have commenced. The joaruals, however, add
that this new' has nothing of an official character in
it, and we can omelets say that letters have reached
Paris from Bucharest of the 9th, which are silent on
the subject.

Count de Moray, President of the Legislative

In consequence of a decision of the Minister of
State that henceforth all dramatic pieces submitted
to the Commission of Censorship should be examined
in the absence of the writers, the Committee of Dra-
matic Authors presented a memorial to the minister
on the subject. The minister has, however, resolved
that his first decision shell stand good, but that a
new functionary shall be appointed, whose special
duty will be to receive the observations of the
authors, and who will have the power of reversing
the decision of the commission, if the observations of
the authors appear to be well founded.

The Mobilier advanced to 1,2001., and there was a

were quoted at from 64f. 26c. to 64f. 300. The prices
of the Benter looked up at the end of the market.
There was a report that Marshal Pelissier had begun
active operations in the Crimea. Many purchases
were effected for money in the shares of the principal
French railway companies.

THE POLICE COURTS.

LAMBETH.
Mr. Ferguson, the chief clerk at the Mendicitv-office,
attended at this court for the purpose of taking Mr. Norton's
advice as to how the society should proceed to put a stop to
an extensive system of fraud upon the benevolent, by which,
up to the present pi clod, upwards of 2001. bad been obtained.
Mr. Ferguson said that some days before two printed lists
of subscriptions bad been forwarded to Captain Wood by
one of their subscribers, with a request that the case might
he inquired into. These lists were headed with an afflicting
description of a woman who had become blind, owing to
twenty years' close application and bard work as • dress-
maker. A statement was added, that Dr. Alexander and
other medical men had stated that rest and nourishment
were the only remedies; and that the committee of the
Needlewomen's Society bed examined into the case, and
found it one truly deserving the sympathy of the benevolent,
and that they intended to raise especial fund for the purpose
of making the poor creature • weekly allowance. Mr.
Ferguson went to the address given of the woman, W.
Bowline, at 16, Wickham street, Lambeth, where he ascer-
tained that a man had lived about the time that the adver-
tisements had appeared, who from the number of letters
addressed to him must have been • begging-letter impostor.
Mr. Ferguson had also called on Mr. Alesander, who stated
that be had heard of the case of the blind workwoman
named Bowhan. The subscription lists had appended to
them • letter, purporting to be from W. Bowhao,
thanking the Society for the Relief of Distressed
Needlevromen for their assistance, with this P. 8., " Any
assistance can only be received through the society." Mr.
Ferguson had applied to Mr. Roper at the Needlewomen's
Society House, 76, Newsman-street, to obtaia some informs-
tion, but that gentleman could never be found, and it was,
therefore, useless to apply there. His own opinion was that
the whole story of the blind woman was imaginary.
Mr. Norton said he would do all in his power to assist in
putting a stop to that which he conceived to be a high•elem
offence—that of imposing on the benevolent, and destroying,
as it were, the very sources of charity. It was evident that
some of the names upon the subscription list were fictitious,
since he saw that a " Countess Caroline Bellew" took the
chair at the Needlewomen's Society. He should advise Mr.
Ferguson to call upon some of the persons whose names
appeared on the list of subecriben and they would, no
doubt, require the Needlewomen's&misty to explain what
had been dose with the subscriptions.
Mr. Ferguson said he would act on his worship's advice.
