A CRIMEAN HERO IN A DIFFICI7LTY.—This morning,
on Mr. Yardley taking his seat on the bench, a soldier
came before him and said he wished to proceed to Scot-
land, his native place, and had not the means of doing
so. He was present at the battles of Alma, Balaklava,
and Inkerman, and was wounded in the trenches before
Sebastopol, sent home invalided, and was discharged on
a pension. _

Mr. Yardley was very sorry to see a discharged
British soldier, who wore the emblem of his bravery, a
medal on his breast, in a destitute condition, and asked
how he came to be in that state.
The soldier—Your honour, I was robbed of all my
money last night, and am without a farthing.
Mr. Yardley—What part of Scotland do you wish to
go to.

The soldier—To Edinburgh, sir.
. Mr. Yardley—Well, in consideration of the services
you have rendered your country, I will write to the
secretary of the General Steam Navigation Company,
in Lombard-street, to grant you a free passage to Edin-
burgh in one of their ships, and I dare say my request
will be complied with under the circumstances.

from rejoining his friends and relatives in Scotland. He

RUFFIANLY ASSAULTS ON THE POLICE. 271077248
Harris and William Harris were placed at the bar,
before Mr. Long, charged with the following outrages
on the police.

It appeared from the evidence that at one o'clock this
morning, the prisoners were very drunk and disorderly
in Stingo-lane, New-road. After a desperate resistance
they were taken into custody, when they attacked three
officers in a most determined manner, kicking and strik-
ing them with all their might. They were ultimately
properly secured and locked up. At the station-house
the first-named prisoner conducted himself in a most
violent manner while being taken down stairs to the
cell.

Thomas Harris stated that he had partaken of too
much drink, and was not aware that he had ill-treated
either of the officers ; and the other prisoner said his
boots were not fit to kick a man with, they were so
thin.

The magistrate said these outrages upon constables
in the execution of their duty were of such frequent oc-
currence that he was determined to punish offenders
severely. The prisoners were both sent to the House
of Correction for six weeks.

CHARGE 01? ROBBERY.— A young woman, named
Pleasance Fernandez, was brought up in custody,
chargejl with having stolen a silver table spoon from the
house of Mrs. Elizabeth Massey, 220, Maida-hill.
Evidence of a strongly suspicious nature was gone
into, but as the magistrate considered it would be useless
to send the matter to a jury, the prisoner was discharged.

LATEST NEWS.

BOMBARDMENT OF RIGA.

The telegraphic despatch' which we published
yesterday, announcing the bombardment of Riga,
is confirmed by the following :

BERLIN, FRIDAY, 00T. 5.

On the 28th of September eight vessels of the
Baltic fleet bombarded the batteries at the mouth
of the Duna (Riga), with little effect, but they

afterwards severely injured the battery at Bullen,

TIENNA, THURSDAY EVEN. ING.
The Government has this day proposed to th

Bank the following financial measures :

The Government hypothecates to the National
Bank, as security for • the debt due to the latter,
domains of the State to the value of 175,000,000,
with the revenues of them, and a power of sale.
At the same time the National Bank is authorised
to create a bank of hypothecation, with a capital
of 20,000,000, and in exchange to issue new
1 paper. _

BERLIN, THURSDAY EVENING.

Rumours have been very rife to-day, in well-
informed circles, that the Russian Government
has invited Prussia to take steps towards a re-
newal of negotiations with the Western Powers.
Public feeling in Russia has begun to show
itself since the fall of Sebastopol.
The large proprietors have lost a half or even
two-thirds of their revenue from the want of an
outlet for produce, and from the abstraction of
labour.

The Government functionaries and the youth
just from the military schools are alone in favour
of a continuation of the war.

Among the Russian Generals who fell on the
Bth were Generals Youscroff and Voicikoff, the
latter an aide-de-camp of the Emperor, and a par-

ticular favourite.

Baron Brunnow, lately Russian Minister in
London, has just left St. Petersburg for Frank-
fort, to resume his post as Russian representative
to the Diet.
The Government here has notified to the Ber-
lin journals that no attacks on the Western
Powers will be permitted.

VIENNA, THURSDAY.
A despatch from Odessa states that the Czar is
expected there on the 7th of October.
The Austrian Corresi»ndenz says that the Allies
have authorised the trading in corn by neutral
vessels in the Sea of A zoff.

We learn from St. Petersburg that the Em•
press Mother has returned from Moscow.

The following is the second despatch of Prince
Gortschakoff iu full :
" SEPTEMBER 26, MIDNIGHT.

"Yesterday the enemy issued from Eupatoria in
considerable force, estimated by General Scha-
belski at 33,000 men, and occupied on one side

the village of Saki, and on the other those of
Schabak, Or ta-Mamei, and Sup-Samai. They

retired in the afternoon.

" Our advanced posts, which had fallen back,

have resumed their positions.

" Nothing new on the left flank. The enemy
increases the fire of his mortars against Severnaya
(the North Fort).

" A successful skirmish has taken place near
Kertch, between our Cossacks and the enemy's
foragers. Five and-twenty English and French
hussars were made prisoners."
No further confirmation has been received here
of the retreat of the Russians.

MARKET .NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Coastwise, since Monday, the arrivals of English wheat
have been tolerably extensive ; but fresh up to-day they
were limited, and the show of samples wee small. The
demand, however, for most kinds ruled inactive, yet very
little change took place in the quotations.
The imports of foreign wheat have been trifling. Most
kinds sold slowly, yet importers were firm, and late rates
were supported. Floating cargoes commanded full prices.
Very little barley was on sale, and the trade was steady,
at fully late rates.
. _

We Ind a firm market for malt, at fully Monday's cur-
rency.

The oat trade was steady, and really fine oats were the
,urn dearer.

Beans, peas, and flour were unaltered in value.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

The supply of beasts in to-day's market was but mode-
rate in number, and very deficient in quality ; neverthe-
less the demand for all breeds was inactive, at barely Mon-
day's currency. We were scantily supplied with sheep,
mostly in low condition. The mutton trade, however,
ruled dull, at barely stationary prices. The show of both
English and foreign calves was rather extensive, and the
veal trade was heavy, at a decline in the quotations of 2d
per Blbs. Pigs were steady, at late rates.
Mulch cows sold slowly, at from 141. to 19/. ss. each, in-
cluding their small calf.

PRINCE MURAT AND TEE "TIMES."

The following letter from Prince Murat, ad-
dressed to the Times, but which we have not seen
in that paper, appears in some of the Paris jour-
nals :

" Monsieur,—An article in your journal which has
just been communicated to me, tends to represent me
as an adventurous man, who would wish to profit by
the difficulties into which the Neapolitan Govern-
ment has fallen, to revolutionise the country.
Happily, you say, the spark is extinguished, and
what could now only end in a conspiracy in my favour,
will give place, at a more or less distant period, to the
union and independence of Italy which can only be
realised by Piedmont. Your article would lead to
the belief that in succeeding, I should have been an
obstacle to the union and independence of Italy. I
know not what proofs you can bring forward in sup-
port of that assertion. The journals occupy them-
selves a great deal with a letter written by me to my
nephew two years ago, and which without being
publicly known, was so to all those who bad an interest
in being acquainted with my opinions. That letter was
not published until after Piedmont had declared by her
alliance _ with France, England, and Austria, as well
as by articles inserted in the ministerial journals
that she renounced all idea of aggrandisement of ter-
ritory, and that she would respect the present state
of Italy. How, then, could a change of dynasty at
Naples interfere with or injure the ideas of Pied-
mont Let the latter declare herself, let her raise the
standard of the union, the independence, and liberty of
all Italy, and I pledge myself here, as I did in my let-
ter not only to be any obstacle in her way, but to give
to her all my co-operation and that of all the men whom
reminiscences of the past attach to my family ; for it
would be the realisation of the ideas of my father, to
which 1 shall always remai❑ faithful. My political and
family position make it a duty for me to abstain from
any polemical articles in the journals. I therefore wish
that this letter may serve as an answer to all attacks
which malevolence may direct against me for the future.
—Accept, &c., " LUCIEN MURAT.

PIEDMONT.

The Piemonte of Turin, of the 30th ult., an-
nounces that the King of Sardinia's health con-
tinued to improve.
On the 30th the following English vessels had

THE MURDER AT CANTERBURY BARRACKS.—Yester-
day, before the mayor and magistrates of Canterbury,
Emanuel Eisner, of the Ist Regiment of the British Swiss
Legion, was re-examined on suspicion of being the mur-
derer of Jobnn Bock, of the same corps. The prisoner
called several men belonging to the legion, with the view
of proving an alibi, but none of them had seen him later
than eight o'clock on the evening of the murder. After
a brief consultation the bench fully committed the pri-
soner for trial on the capital charge. The coroner's jury
has returned a verdict of " Manslaughter" against the
accused.

When the Lord Chancellor was taking his departure a
few days ago from the Ipswich Railway station, two
poor girls, after having paid their fares, were informed
that their luggage was over weight and must be paid
for. They had no more money, or if they had any left,
it was in their boxes. They begged to be trusted, but
the word was not in the railway vocabulary, and they
were rather shortly told to stand aside. What was to
be done ? They could not go without their boxes. In
this dilemma the Lord Chancellor slipped some money
into the hand of one of them, and bid her pay for the
luggage.
ATTEMPTED MIIRDER.—At the Liverpool Police.court
on Monday a desperate attempt to murder a young
woman by drowning was heard. The prisoner's name
IS John Broby ; he is 22 years of age, a dock-labourer.
His appearance is described as being most ferocious. He
is tall, athletic, has penetrating dark eyes, black dishe-
velled hair, darkcomplexion, and a most sinister and
determined expression of countenance. The female's
name is Mary Ann Hammond ; she has a rather delicate
appearance, is about 18 years of age, and has recently
come hither from Waterford. She said—l met the pri-
soner, whom I never saw before that I know of, on Sun-
day night last, about half-past 12 o'clock, a little this

versation, and I accompanied him to Birch's public
house, and thence to a brick-field not far off. After

mea

stomach,
dragged me by the
hair of myhead to a deep and large pit filled with
water, into which he threw me. I managed to scram-
ble out of the water and up the aide of the pit,
when the prisoner again thrust me back, and I was
again immersed and well nigh exhausted. I again ma-
naged to get out, and the prisoner a third time threw
me into the water, followed me, and held my head
beneath the water till I was all but smothered—drowned.
By this time some men came to the spot and begged him
not to murder me, when be swore that he would take
my life. The prisoner once or twice, as I was scram
bling up the sides of the pit, kicked one in the eye with
the toe of his boot, and the discoloration of my eye i,
the result. I subsequently got away, and gave informa-
tion to the police. A variety of corroborative evidence
having been heard, the prisoner was remanded.

HERTS AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

The annual ploughing match of the Herts Agricultural
Society and exhibition of stock took place on Wednesday
at Buntingford, near Royston, and will be carried out
with more than usual spirit, the most extensive prepara-
tions having been made for the reception of the patrons
and subscribers of the society with the competitors and
a large number of the gentry of the locality. Several
trials have already taken placewith the different ploughs,
and the stock, which will consist of bulls and stirks,
cows, heifers, rams, &c., are in most excellent condition.
The preparations have been made under the direction of
the committee, and at the conclusion of the match a
splendid dinner for about 200 will be laid out in a mar-
quee from B. Edgington's, under the presidency of the
Rev. Leveson Vernon Harcourt. A large quantity of
extra stock, consisting of agricultural implements, &c.,
will also be exhibited. The approaching match has
created the utmost interest amongst the district farmers
as well as the most influential gentlemen agriculturist.,
not only from the fact of the implements which will be
used on the occasion being of first-rate construction and
manufacture, but from the increase of knowledge in til-

NAPLES.

We learn from a letter dated Naples, Sept. 21,
that the taking of Sebastopol has caused the greatest
excitement in that city ; the people are full of joy
at the news, but are obliged to smother their feel-
ings. The Royalists are terrified. Banquets have
been held at the English, French, and Sardinian
embassies with great pomp. On Monday last the
King of Naples was presented with a very strong
diplomatic note, brought by a special courier from
London,

Another letter mentions that all who had been
marked by the police as having loitered about the
British, French, and Sardinian embassies on the
occasion of their being it in honour of the
late successes of the allied forces, have been arrested
as taking part in those festivities contrary to the
Royal will and pleasure.

THE PENINSULAR MAILS.

the Peninsular and
SOITTHAAIPTON, Oct. 4.—By
Oriental Company's steam-ship Iberia, Captain
Christian, with the Peninsular mails, i
in charge of
Lieutenant Darby, R.N., we have dates from Gib-
raltar, September 25 ; Cadiz, 26 ; Lisbon, 29 ;
Vigo, October 1.
The Iberia brings
30 assenaers on freight, 16
packages specie, value 41721. and a cargo consist-
ing; of 2G2 chests of lemons, 96 boxes of almonds,
1,202 boxes of raisins, 1,986 elephants' teeth, 11
cases of eggs, 604 boxes of grapes,
32 boxes of pre-
served fruit, 9 casks of wine, 98 boxes of tomatoes,
10 cases
of cigars, and 30 packages of general mer-
chandise.
During the voyage the Iberia experienced mode-
rate and fine weather. On the Ist inst. she com-
municated with the mail steam-ship Tagus, 7 deg.
west of Corrobeda ; all well.
The Madrid left her Majesty's ships St. George
and Neptune at Lisbon on the 29th ult:, and the
French steamer Newton stationed at the Tagus,
and the Rodens and the G uit'n'da,, which put in
for coals en route from Brest for Cayenne and Se.

neg,al. The Gipsy Queen, belonging to the Royal
Yacht Club, was also anchored at Lisbon. The
Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-trans-
port Nubia left Lisbon for Malta en route to the
Crimea on the 29th ult. The steam-transport No.
23 was at Lisbon on her way to the Crimea. The
screw-transport Tonninv, .No. 65, was at Cadiz on
the 26th ult., having been obliged to put in for
coals before proceeding to the Black Sea.
Few transactions had taken place upon the Lis-
bon Exchange, in consequence of the scarcity of
takers—Lonjlou, three months, 541 ; Paris, 529 ;
Amsterdam, 42 ; Hamburg, 48-- ; and Genoa, 528.
Three per Cent. Stock in demand at 42 to 421 ;
also Bank Shares at 123 to 115 milreas discount per
500 milrea shares of the Bank of Portugal, and at
161 to 18 per cent. prem. on Oporto Bank Shares ;
Lisbon Bank notes were at per cent. discount.
Our Lisbon correspondent writes :
" The young King is rendering himself popular with
the troops and people generally, by visiting barracks,
hospitals, &s., when least expected, and not sparing his
censures of unsatisfactory rations or other irregularities.
I hear his Majesty expressed great satisfaction at the
efficient state of the Hospital of St. Jose. He, bis
brother, and father attended the Spanish Minister's
ball the other evening ; the King was very quiet, but
the Duke of Oporto danced a great deal. Yesterday
the Pope's Nuncio gave a grand dinner, and other diplo-
matic festivities are announced in honour of the new
" A very disagreeable incident took place at the State
dinner given by the King on the 18th, at the Adjuda
Palace. M. Ozoroff, the Russian Minister, could not
find the place which had been destined for him at the
Royal table, and being probably out of temper with the
news of the fall of Sebastopol, his Excellency took the
matter up rather warmly, but was prevented leaving the
room by a Portuguese nobleman, who gave up his own
place ; he was ultimately pacified by the production of
the card, which bore his name, and had been carried off
the table by Madame Ozoroff's dress."

TURKEY.

A letter from Constantinople of the 24th ult.
says :—" Fuad Pacha, Minister of Foreign Affairs,
has been indisposed for some days. Prince Ladislas
Czartoryski intends, it is again said, to organise a
corps of Polish Cossacks. It h rumoured that
General Beatson had been recalled, his attempt to
organise the Bashi-Bazouks being considered a
failure.

Letters continue to speak of the opposition
manifested by Lord de Redcliffe against the Otto-
man Cabinet. It was known that the English Go-
vernMent was little disposed to support its ambas-
sador in his pretensions, and that it had serious
thoughts of replacing him. According to the ac-
counts received from all parts of the Turkish em-
pire thn taking of Sebastopol had everywhere
caused the greatest delight. Fetes and rejoicing
had taken place in every part of the country. The
following is a letter dated Kamiesh of the 24th:—
" Orders from Paris prescribe the fortification of
Sebastopol. Certain streets have been already cleared,
and engineer officers have begun to trace a line of de-
fence, which will derive considerable strength from the
nature of the ground. The commission, named to arrange
the division of the immense booty which has fallen into
our hands, is at present hard at work pursuing its task.
The number of pieces of artillery is fabulous, but there
are many of them unfit for service. Marshal Pelissier
has distributed crosses and promotions, and he has made
several important changes in the principal commands.
Gen. de MacMahon has received the reward of his gal-
lant conduct, by having the command given him of the
corps of reserve, in the room of General Regnault de St.
Jean d'Angely, who returns to France. Gen. Vinoz, who
commanded the 2d brigade of the let division, replaces
Gen. de MacMahon.

TREMENDOUS THUNDER-STORM.

Yesterday afternoon, about half-past three o'clock, a
violent thunder-storm broke over the metropolis, which
lasted until between five and six o'clock, and was accom-
panied by torrents of rain such as it has seldom been our
lot to witness.

PORTSMOUTH, Thursday,—This port has been visited
to-day with a tremendous thunder-storm, accompanied
with a perfect deluge of rain, by which the streets were
rendered for some time impassible. The yacht Era was
capsized at the mouth of the harbour. She belongs to
-- Gibbs, jun., Esq., and on board of her were seven
hands, who had a narrow escape. The vessel was
off the blockhouse with her head in-shore and all
sail set. The storm came on so suddenly that there was
no time to let go the halyards, so that the whole force
of the gale took her, and she heeled over and went down
in about two fathoms.

LIvERPOoL, rhursday.—About two o'clock this after-
noon a violent thunder-storm visited this town and neigh-
bonrhood, accompanied with very violent peals of
thunder and vivid flashes of lightning. The rain de-
scended in torrents, and hailstones were exceedingly
numerous. Amongst the casualties which have occurred
the electric fluid struck a portion of a firework manu-
factory, in Greenland-street, where the operation of
making these combustibles was going on. The house
instantly blew up, and with the explosion a public-house,
next door, was also quite destroyed. Several persons
who were engaged in the manufactory were injured by
the explosion ; three or four so severely that it is doubt-
ful whether they will recover. The fire-engines from
Temple-court were in attendance, and succeeded in ex-
tinguishing the flames : the premises, however, are left
in a mass of ruing.

THE MURDER AT CANTERBURY BARRACKS.—Yester-
day, before the mayor and magistrates of Canterbury,
Emanuel Eisner, of the Ist Regiment of the British Swiss
Legion, was re-examined on suspicion of being the mur-
derer of Johnn Bock, of the same corps. The prisoner
called several men belonging to the legion, with the view
of proving an alibi, but none of them 'had seen him later
than eight o'clock•on the evening of the murder. After
a br►ef consultation the bench fully committed the pri-
soner for trial on the capital charge. The coroner's jury
has returned a verdict of " Manslaughter" against the
accused.

When the Lord Chancellor was taking his departure a
few days ago from the Ipswich Railway station, two
poor girls, after having paid their fares, were informed
that their luggage was over weight and must be paid
for. They had no more money, or if they had any left,
it was in their boxes. They begged to be trusted, but
the word was not in the railway vocabulary, and they
were rather shortly told to stand aside. What was to
be done ? They could not go without their boxes. In
this dilemma the Lord Chancellor slipped some money
into the hand of one of them, and bid her pay for the
luggage.
ATTEMPTED MIIRDER.-At the Liverpool Police court
on Monday a desperate attempt to murder a young
woman by drowning was heard. The prisoner's name
is John Broby ; ho is 22 years of age, a dock-labourer.
His appearance is described as being most ferocious. He
is tall, athletic, bas penetrating dark eyes, black dishe-
reiled hair, dark complexion, and a most sinister and
determined expression of countenance. The female's
name is Mary Ann Hammond ; she has a rather delicate
appearance, is about 18 years of age, and has recently
come hither from Waterford. She said—l met the pri-
soner, whom I never saw before that I know of, on Sun-
day night last, about half-past 12 o'clock, a little this

versation, and I Ilacecospamopkaeiteod mheim; weto hßaidrchso,

brick-field not far off. After
some time be tore off my bonnet and shawl, struck
me a severe blow on my stomach, dragged me by the
hair of my head to a deep and large pit filled with
water, into which he threw me. I managed to scram-
ble out of the water and up the side of the pit,
when the prisoner again thrust me back, and I was
again immersed and well nigh exhausted. I again ma-
naged to get out, and the prisoner a third time threw
me into the water, followed me, and
held my head
beneath the water till I was all but smothered—drowned.
By this time some men came to the spot and begged him
not to murder me, when he swore that Le would take
my life. The prisoner once or twice, as I was scram-
bling up the sides of the pit, kicked me lin the eye with
the toe of bis boot, and the discoloration of my eye it
the result. I subsequently got away, and gave informa-
tion to the police. A variety of corroborative evidence
having been heard, the prisoner was remanded,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE BUN.

beg to forward to you the copy of a letter ad-
dressed by me to Sir Benjamin Hall, in the hope that, as
the subject referred to is of public interest, you will have
the goodness to insert it in your next publication.
I am, Sir, your obed. servant,
JOHN VILLIERS SHELLEY.

Mansfield Park, 4th Oct., 1855.

MY DEAR HALL,—When I wrote to you on the 16th
ult. in relation to the proposed road across St. James's
Park, I did so in consequence of representations made to
me by some of my con4tituents, who thought that the
road would be objectionable, and that the Government
intended to proceed with the scheme without any refe-
rence being made to Parliament. This impression was
no doubt made upon them in consequence of statements
which appeared in the public papers, that the road was
to be proceeded with during the recess, and that the
works had been commenced ; but, after the assurance
contained in your letter of the 18th ult., "that nothing
will be done till Parliament meets, when the public will
have an opportunity of considering the plans which will
be presented to the House of Commons, and of seeing
shether the accommodation offered to the public is the
best that should be granted," I am requested now to
state that they do not think it necessary to wait upon
you on Saturday next.
Hereafter, when they have have
an opportunity of well
considering the plans, if they object;ons to make it
may again become my duty to apply to you to receive a
deputation of my constiluent-i.
I am, my dear Hall, yours truly,
JOPN VILLIERS SHELLEY.

POSITION OF THE RUSSIAN ARMY•

The Polish journal Czas thus describes the posi-
tion of the Russian army in the drimea, on the
23d ult. : „ _

" The Russian forces occupy a line, fortified by art
and nature, forming a semicircle round the position of
the Allies, and extending from the Telegraph and Fort
Constantine, situate at the extremity of a small promon-
tory, to the impenetrable chain of mountains of Tchatir
Dagh. The main force of the Russians, consisting of
three divisions, is posted behind Lhatline, on the plateau
of Belbek, and facing the south. The right wing is cow-
posed of a considerable corps, occupying (on the north
side of Sebastopol) the citadel of Severnaya, and the
Forts Catherine, Constantine, and Telegraph. The left
wing holds the fortified defiles of Aitodor and the chain
of the Tcherkes-Kerman, as far as the source of the Bel-
bek and the mountains of Yalta. The army o reserve
is stationed at Bakshi-Serai and SimpheroPolf . Other
troops maintain the communications between the prin-
cipal army and three other corps—namely, the one be-
fore Kertch with its right wing at Kaffa and its left at
Arabat ; another in observation before Eupatoria ; and
the third, consisting of at least 40,000 men, which pro-
tects Perekop. The Russian troops in the Crimea still
possess two roads, by which they can communicate with
Russia ; the one passing by the Isthmus of Perekop,
and the other by the bridge of Tchongar across the
Putrid Sea."
