London, England, 1855-10-13 00:00:00

under the guidance of Queen AMALIA, has so
recklessly entered. He may rest assured
that this is no mere brutum fulmen ; but
that as France and England have the power,
they will also have the will to visit the conse-

quences of any impropriety on the heads of the
guilty parties, no matter what may be their nomi-
nal rank. The Autocrat can no longer save his
tools from the consequences of their misdeeds.
Strong as ho has been he has quite sufficient on
his hands on his own account to prevent any effec-
tual interference on behalf of the Royal puppet,
the strings whereof he has so long been pulling.
It requires but for France and England to
speak the word to deprive OTHO of the
sceptre which he has wielded so inefficiently, and
at the same time so mischievously. It seems an
anomaly to couple these terms, but we believe
that they are pqually applicable to the Govern-
ment of King OTHo. But little more and that
word will be spoken, and he and his ambitious
partner will have to deplore in obscurity the rest-
less and reckless perversity which induced them to
disregard the reasonable wishes of those to whom
they owe their present position, and who are just
as capable of depressing, " as they had previously
been of elevating," to rank and distinction.
We trust that Orno may not prove incor-
rigible, but that he will discover that discretion
is the better part of valour, and learn to bend to
the storm which he cannot venture to brave with
impunity.

Those who remember when the present King
of PRUSSIA was Crown Prince need not be told
that at that time ho was described as English to
the backbone. What is he now ? In general
opinion, the most serviceable as well as the most
open friend of Russia, and consequently the most
flagrant and injurious enemy of England among
the so-called neutral Powers. So much depen-
dence is there to be placed on the friendly feelings
of a Prussian Crown Prince for this country being
carried with him to the throne, or at all events
cherished under the regal canopy ! Here we have
a monarch, of amiable feelings, too, as despots go,
on whose co-operation--we will not say sympathy
merely—his antecedents and credit for the most
ordinary consideration on liis part for the best in-
terests of the kingdom he governs, led us to cal-
culate before the outbreak of hostilities, actually,
now that we are at war, frustrating the object of
that costly blockade to which we looked as the
most likely means of bringing the conflict to a speedy
and successful termination ! Yet for all this,
notwithstanding the ill-concealed sympathy of the
Prussian King with Russia—notwithstanding the
produce of the latter country, diverted by our
fleets from its customary channels, is daily and
hourly poured into Prussian ports to be trans-
mitted to the markets of the world, individuals
are to be found who contemplate with satisfaction
the prospect of a matrimonial alliance between the
Crcwn Princess of this country, and, not the
Crown Prince, but the son of the Crown Prince
of Prussia, as being likely to cement a fast and
and enduring alliance between the two countries !
A remove of one degree, it is seen, has insured a
treacherous neutral—a remove of two, forsooth,
is looked to to produce a fast friend, instead of,
as one would have logically inferred, a bitter
enemy !

In sober truth, an alliance with Prussia is not
at present worth having, and, if it were, a matri-
monial alliance would not cement it. The
dynasty of Hohenzollern is by no means one of
those on whose stability much reliance can be
placed. A splendid tyrant like the Great FRE-
DERICK is not more the sort of man to create a
dynasty than a vacillating good-natured CLICQUOT
is to subvert it. The tyranny of the one may
be grievous to the individual, but the lustre of
his genius emblazons the annals of his country
and fills his subjects with pride; the tyranny of
the other, vastly more vexatious, has no redeem-
' ing features to commend it, and is inevitably pro-
ductive of mingled chafing and contempt—a state
of feeling incompatible with security. The Prus-
sian people cannot see anything to admire, but a
great deal to despise in FREDERICK WILLIAM, and
a day's insurrection might terminate in a flight of
himself, and the remaining representatives of the
dynasty he is undermining—into Russia, to be
flannelled in his widowed sister's condolences.
Even were the stability of the dynasty assured
beyond the reach of fate, the stability of the
friendly regard of the young Prince for this
country, as we have shown, cannot, be so ; while
no indications we know of warrant the supposi-
tion that it has any permanent basis. A
love-sick youth, full of sentiment, is likely enough
to regard with kindly feelings the country of his
intended bride ; but that sort of state notoriously
don't last, and with its termination those kindly
feelings may cease also. ' In what instance has
this country reaped any advantage from the ma-
trimonial alliances of her Princes and Princesses
with the scions of royalty abroad ? Turn back
the page of history as far as we may, there is no
such instance to be found. Up to the present
hour, to what matrimonial or, family alliance are
we indebted for aid in peace or war ? Is the
King of the BELGIANS to be found along- ,
side with the King of SARDINIA in the
muster-roll *of the Allies ? Is the King of
HANOVER ? Have either of them ever furthered
our commercial interests a tittle, done us one good
deed, done anything less hostile to us than pocket-
ing a portion of our taxes ? Is there an English-
man living that counts on them, and the Duke of
Saxn-Connao to boot, for the paltriest conceivable
aid in the present Struggle ? Not one ! And
hew many are there who calculate on receiving,
as they believe we have received hitherto, nothing
but hindrance and injury at their hands !
Purely dynastic alliances never were good for
England, and have always been most injurious
when matrimonial. Whatever there ought to
be desirable in a Prussian alliance is to be had,
when it may be got, after a better fashion. The
mutual sentiments and interests of the two people
will go further than any reciprocation of Court

Crimea, and recommended General Eyre as his SILICEI3•
sor. The Government, however, have declined to ac-
cept General Simpson's resignation.
It is reported that Field-Marshal Viscount Efardinge,
G.C.8., will shortly be elevated to the full title of Com-

the full title of Commander-in-Chief, though never a
neld-Marshal.

PARIS, SATURDAY MORNING.

Advices from Vienna and Berlin state that the
Allied fleets were anchored off Odessa on the 10th.
Sixteen battalions of the Allied armies are con-
centrated near the town of Yenikale.

SWEABORG. —We have always great p7easure in notic-
ing the services of Derry's sons in the stirring events of
the present war. During the bombardment of Sweaborg
a gun-boat and a rocket-boat were successively and sue-
cce,sfully commanded by midshipman John M'Neill
Boyd, who, in this arduous and dangerous service, dis-
played a coolness, courage, and intrepidity which won
fur him the highest approbation of his superior officers,
who were happy to forward his name in the despatches
relative to the destruction of Sweaborg. Our y. v;g
hero is in his 14th year, and is the eldest 8011 of Capt.
John 111`Neill Boyd, of this city, a worthy son of a true
apprentice boy.—Londonderry Sentinel.
A. COUPLE OF VENERABLE LOVERS.—The gossips of
the usually quiet town of Clogher (says the Armagh,
Guardian) have had a choice morsel to d veil upon in a
marriage which took place in the Cathedral church on
the 24th ult. The gay Lothario, Jemmy Gordon, is
about 91 years of age, and the blushing bride, Anderson,
alias Neely, has seen upwards of 55 years. This is the
sixth time for the venerable bridegreom to be joined in
Hymen's bonds, and the third for the bloomieg bride.
It is only about three months since the hale Jemmy wss
left an inconsolable widower by the death of his fifth
wife. As mieht be expected the assembl tge in and about
the cathedral witnessing the ceremony performed by the
Rev. W. A. Agile was immense, and in the evening the
town and neighbouring hills were brilliantly illuminated
by bonfires to mark the happy occasion.
CARGOES FROM SOUTH AMERICA.-20,000 bullock
shank bones are imported monthly into Southampton
from South America. The best of them are picked out
for cutlers' purposes, and the rest aro ground fur manure.
Large cargoes of bullocks' bones are continually arriving
from South America at Southampton, to be ground
down for manure in that town. The shank bones are
conveyed to this country at eo much per gross ; the other
bones are brought over at so much per ton. A firm
engaged in Southampton as manufacturers of manure
have an establishreent at Buenos Ayres, where thousands
of head of black cattle are slaughtered, skinned, and
then boiled down whole for the purpose of extracting the
fat and separating the bones from the flesh.
ACCIDENT AT THE WORCEETEE. RAILWAY STATIOrr.—
On Monday a shocking accident happened to a man
named Booth, an under guard on the Oxford, Worces-
ter, and Wolverhampton Railway. He was engaged in
linking a carriage to an engine, and cried out "All
right" before he had got from under the carriage. The
engine immediately moved, and the man was thrown
down by the break-rod catching him by the hip. He
called to the engine driver to stop, but before the latter
could do so, the wheels went over the poor fellow's right
leg, partly wrenching it off at the joint, and tearing the
flesh of the thigh in a terrible manner. He was imme-
diately conveyed to the infirmary, where amputation
was cleverly performed, and the poor fellow is now doing
as well as can be expected.—Worcester Chronicle.
SUICIDE.—An elderly roan, very well dressed, arrived
at 11 o'clock on Wednesday night at the Hotel de Tours,
Rue St. Nicholas d'Antin, and, having hired a chamber,
declared that he was so tired that he would go to bed at
once. He, however, made the waiter purchase some
cakes, and then fastened himself in his room. Shortly
after the waiter heard moaning and groans, and having
forced open the door, found the man writhing on the
floor, apparently in agony. A medical man was sent
for, and he declared that the man had taken poison.
Ile attempted to neutralise the effects of it, but soon
after the man died. It turned out that he had placed a
quantity of arsenic in ono of the cakes. From papers
found on him, it was ascertained that the deceased
was a merchant at Beaune (Cotes-d'Or.)—Galignani's

BEER IN FRANCE.—AIsace has always enjoyed the
reputation of being the part of France in which the
greatest quantity of beer is manufactured and con-
sumed ; but from recent returns it appears that the de-
partment of the Nord has of late got the start of the
departments of the Rhine in the consumption of this
beverage. The quinquennial statistics of the arron-
dissement of Strasburg estimate at 150,000 hectolitres
(the hectolitre is twenty-two imperial gallons) the quan-
tity of strong beer annually brevred in that arrondisse-
ment, the total value of which is estimated at 2,836,000 f.
In the s.rrondis4ement of Valenciennes the quantity of
strong beer brewed in 1854 was 226,000 hectolitres,
giving an avem,;,e of 145 litres to each inhabitant. The
value is esitirrated at three millions of francs. The
quantity of small beer brewed in the arrondissement of
Yalenceanei last year was 108,000 hectolitres, while in
that of Strasburg it was only 400 litres. The number
of brewers in Valenciennes in 1845 was 141 ; last year
they had increased to 161.

The following appeared in our late edition of
last night :
HAMBURG, FnmAY.

Prince Gortschakoff, under date of the 9th
inst., writes as follows :
The enemy has made a movement in advance

from Eupatoria, threatening Perekop, but meet-
ing with the advanced posts of the left flank of
of our army they retired.
On our left flank the enemy has detached six-
teen battalions from Urkusta to Janisala.

Despatches were received at St. Petersburg
yesterday, stating that up to the evening of the
10th the Allied Fleets bad undertaken nothing
against Odessa, but at that date remained quietly
at anchor.

BERLIN, FRIDA Y.

Prince Gortschakoff writes on the llth instant :
—" The enemy is collecting considerable forces
in the valley of the Upper Belbek. He appears
preparing actively for a series of offensive move-
ments. There is nothing new from other points
of the Crimea."

It is reported that the Russian Government
has offered the Russian possessions in North
America to the United States for 40 millions of
silver roubles and other commercial advantages.
Letters from Sebastopol and Eupatoria, of the
3d and sth, maintain that the retreat of the
Russian army is decided on, and that the works
they are erecting are only to cover the movement.
It was current at Vienna yesterday that a con-
vention was on foot for the evacuation of the forts
on the north side of Sebastopol.
The Count de Hatzfeld, the Prussian Ambassa-
dor at Paris, has arrived here.
His presence is known to have reference to im-
portant negotiations now on foot.
It is stated as certain that the Emperor of
Russia went to Perekop, where he was met by-
Prince Gortschakoft, and that lie is by this time
at Odessa, whence he will go to Warsaw.

It is untrue that Princo Gortschakoff is to be
replaced by Mouravieff or Luders.

MADRID, OCT. 10.

FRANCE.
PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING.

CHARGE OF MURDER.—An inquest was held before
the borough coroner of Liverpool. yesterday, on the body
of Thomas Cahill, aged 28, labourer. It appeared that
on Friday, the fith inst., one of the deceased's children
had quarrelled with the daughter of a neighbour named
John O'Neile, also a labourer, and in the course of the
scuffle O'Neile's child bad fallen and hurt her head.
Soon afterwards O'Neilo went to the deceased's house,
and said if he had not satisfaction for his daughter's in-
juries he would have as much blood spilt for it as had
been spilt for his child, and threatened what he would
do when deceased came from his work. He then went
away. About half-past 7 o'clock on Saturday evening
the prisoner again went to the deceased's house, and
kicked at the door. The deceased had gone upstairs to
bed. His wife went to one of the bedroom windows,
and shouted to the prisoner to go home, stating that her
husband knew nothing of the quarrel, and that he had
been working hard all day. The prisoner replied, "you
----, come down, and I will run you through as well
as them" (meaning the prisoner and his brother). The
deceased then went down stairsand opened the door, and
the prisoner struck him two blows with his clenched fist.
The deceased put his band to his breast, and exclaimed,
"I am stabbed." The prisoner then ran away. The
deceased was carried upstairs to bed, and a doctor was
sent for, who attended him up to his death, which oc-
curred on Thursday morning. The jury returned a ver- ,
diet of wilful murder against the prisoner, who was cam.
mitted for trial at the assizes.

News of the doings of the expedition, which ar-
rived before Odessa on the Bth, is anxiously ex-
pected. 10,000 French soldiers are on board the
squadron, and the general belief is that Cherson
and Oczakoff are to be the points attacked.

The Constitutionnel of tOlday, speaking probably
on good authority, says that, according to a letter
from Kamiesh of Sept. 9, it is expected that in two
days' time three floating batteries, each carrying
36 guns, would open a fire against the north side
of the harbour.

A telegraphic despatch, dated Cagliari, Oct. 10,
says the laying down of the submarine cable be-
tween this place and the coast of Africa has been
interrupted in consequence of the rupture of the
cable. The English vessel the Result, which was
engaged in the operation, is about to return to
England with the cable, which cannot probably be
now laid down until the weather becomes more
favourable. _ _

The Duke and Duchess of Brabant arrived here
at four o'clock; they were received with great cere-
mony, and conducted to St. Cloud.
The Salut Public of Lyons of yesterday says :
Several pieces of cannon taken in the Malakhoff
tower, and sent to the Invalides at Paris by Mar-
shal Pelissier, are expected here to-day or to mor-
row by railway.
The steam-frigates C4ffarelli and Eldorando left
Marseilles on the 10th for the Black Sea, the former
with 600 men on board, and the latter with 500.

division, on the Marquis de Crbvecceur, Prefect of

M. Erdau, a redacteur of the Presse, was some
time since sentenced to eight days' imprisonment and
a fine of 100 f. for a libel on the Catholic religion,
alleged to be contained in his work "La France
Mystique." The Procureur-General, not being
satisfied with this light punishment, appealed a
minima (a proceeding allowed by French law).
The appeal was heard to day, and M. Erdan has
been sentenced to a year's imprisonment and a fine
of I,ooofr.
BOURSE, Half-past Two.—The situation of the
Bank of France, which was published this morn-
ing in the Moniteur, has thrown a gloom on the
market, as the bullion was again, reduced to 56
millions of francs (232 millions against 2881 millions
on the figures of last month). There was a great
scarcity of business in all deeds of securities, but
the prices were maintained, as the English Con-
sols had been posted up with an advance of 1A per
cent. The Threes were done from 64fr. 50c. to
64fr. 35c., and rallied to 64fr. 45c. The other
securities are quoted at about the same prices as
yesterday.
Half-past Three.—The prices were very flat at
the end of the Bourse, and with a slight fall on
yesterday's quotations. The Three per Cents. de-
clined to 64f. 35c. ; the Mobilier to 1,667 fr. 50c.
There was a fall of about 2f. 50c. on Railway Shares.
The situation of the Bank of France was the sole
motive alleged for the general heaviness of the
securities. The following are the last quotations:—

THE SUN, LONDON. SATURDAY EV 14;NINO, OCTOBER 13 1855

Berlin was amply compensated for by its success in
the provinces.

"Baron Marochotti," says the Corriere Mercan-
tile of Genoa, "has presented to the Government
a reduced model of the monument to be raised to
the memory of the late King Charles Albert.' The
King is represented on horseback, with a sword in
his hand. Round the pedestal are seated four
symbolical figures. The whole was much admired."

The King of Hanover, by a decree of the Bth,
declares that any public functionary, magistrate,
or clergyman who may, by any official or public
act, call in question the validity of his royal ordi-
nance of the Ist August, for carrying into effect
certain decrees of the Diet or any laws or ordi-
nances promulgated by them, shall be at once dis-
missed.
