THE'SOUTH SIDE OF SEBASTOPOL.
If, as we have some grounds for believing, the
Russian troops are already considerably demora-
lised, the loss of the Malakhoff might so discourage
them as to throw the south side almost immediately
into our hands. Its capture and the destruction of
the ships Would render a very large.force—in itself
a powerful and numerous army---;now employed in
the trenches disposable for operations 'elsewhere.
A portion of these troops might theu,.by the aid of
our fleet, be promptly conveyed to Eupatoria,
where we already have 20,000 of the best Turks.
Suppose 'we sent off 40,030 men—say 30,000 Eng-
lish. and 10,000 Sardinians—leaving the French to
observe the north side of Sebastopol and keep the
enemy in check down here; we should thus form
an army of between 50,000 and 60,000 effective sol-
diers, which would givean_excelleut account, of any.
Russian army attempting to retreat northwards.
This plan I know to be considered by
.officers of
high rank and great military knowledge and expe-
rience as perfectly feasible. We have abundance
of transport, plenty of cavalry could be sept, and
such a. battle might be fought, such a victory ob
tamped, as would eclipse the glories even of Alma
and of Inkerman ; for it is to be observed that
even those persons here who take the most de-
sponding view of the prospects of the siege are as
confident as men can be of our army driving before
it in the field even very superior forces of the
Russians. And really, when one notes the ex-
cellent condition of the troops, and the cheerful,
gallant, and loyal spirit that animates them, one
cannot dopbt that they would. fulfil ,these, high
expectations; one can imagine no army, though
it were twice 'their number, withstanding
their. onset, and one reflects with regret' on
their being kept here all the summer knocking
their heads against stone walls, and against earth-
works that are worse, expending their energies in
the wearisome trench duty, and sighing in vain for
motion and action in the field. We have still two.
months of good campaiging weather before us, and
we can only hope they will be employed in such a
way as to atone in some degree for the unprofitable
manner in which spring and summer have been
suffered to glide by: '

AUSTRIA.

We read in a letter from Vienna of the 30th ult.,
in the Constitutionnel

"Baron de Bruck undertook in the month of March
last the Ministry of Finance, vacant by the resignation
of Baron de Baumgartner. With a well-arranged budget
no one would have administered better, or with more
probity and strictness, the public revenue than the latter.
But in presence of a constantly-increasing deficit, and
when recourse to bold combinations was necessary,
Baron de Baumgartner could only employ palliatives,
and by means of them he had nearly rendered the evil
incurable. With a courage which cannot be sufficiently
appreciated, Baron de Bruck, after having carefully
examined the situation of the treasury, avowed frankly
to the Emperor that Austria, by persisting in the system
which she had followed, would inevitably become bank-
rupt. He was of opinion that, in order to promptly
re-establish order in the finances, it was necessary to
reduce by more than one half the effective force of the
army. However, on taking into account political cir-
cumstances which prevented the employment of such a
radical measure, Baron de Bruck undertook, by the
aid of other measures and financial reforms, to provide
for the current and future service, provided the War
budget was immediately reduced by about 60,000,000
florins (150,000,000 fr.) Such is the sole and veritable
cause of the partial disarming which the Emperor of
Austria, before undertaking his journey to inspect the
army on the Russian frontiers, was obliged to sanction."
A letter from Vien*a, of the 30th ult., says :
" For some days past there has been great activity in
diplomatic relations. M. de Bourqueney and Prince
Gortschakoff have passed the whole of the afternoon at
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The reply of the
Imperial Cabinet to the last Russian circular was sent off
to-day to St. Petersburg. The Ambassador of Austria,
at Berlin, Prince Esterhazy, is to return to his post to-
morrow. The Russian privy councillor, Count Tenge-
barski, who has been here for some days, is to leave to-
morrow for St. Petersburg. In a few days the new
councillor of the Russian legation, M. de Balabine, who
is to replace M. Fonton, is expected here. It is 'again

A MEETING IN THE CRIMEA.

A meeting was held yesterday morning of
officers of the Highland. Division to inspect speci-
mens of waterproof winter clothing, which were
found excellent, and only slight 'alterations were
suggested. Sir Colin Campbell took the opportu-
nity to read to his officers the copy of a note re-
ceived by General Pelissier from the Emperor of
the French, in which the Emperor informed him
that he had positive intelligence that the Russians
would not be able to pass the winter here. This
would, doubtless, be by reason of the impossibility
of getting up stores and provisions. Several de-
serters, who have lately come in, have agreed in
stating that ammunition is plentiful in Sebastopol,
but food hard to obtain.

THE LAST "SHAVE."
As regards scarcity in the Russian camp, the
latest " shave" current is that Gortschakoff tele-
graphed to Dolgorouki that he had but six days'
rations left, whereupon Dolgorouki telegraphed
back to G-ortschakoff ' that there was plenty at
Balaklava, and he had better go and take them,

SOMETHING IN THE WIND.
There is something in the wind this evening.
The Guards and Highland Divisions were to fur-
nish men for the trenches, and these were actually
paraded when they were ordered to turn in and
hold themselves in readiness for other duty. The
men gave a smothered cheer as they obeyed the
order. Since then I have seen a small body of
men from one of those two divisions marching
down through the dusk in the direction of the
trenches, but there was but a company or two, be-
sides a working party. The report in the divisions
which received this unexpected and unusual order
is that they are to be employed to repel a Russian
attack on the line of the Tchernaya, whither all
eyes appear to be turned in expectation of work.
The French were under arms last night, as well as
the Sardinians. General Pelissier apprehended an
attack.

TURKEY.

A letter from Constantinople, of the 25th ult.,
says :—" The Turks are to-day celebrating the fete
of Courban-Bairam. The Sultan, surrounded by
his high dignitaries, went this morning in great
state to the mosque of the Sultan Achmet, and
with his own hand offered a sacrifice of three
rams. He then returned with the same cortege
to the Palace at Seraglio Point, where the cere-
mony of kissing the fringe on the throne took
place. In former days it was the foot of the
throne that was kissed, but the present Sultan has
changed it to kissing the fringe, which is held up
by some attendants for the convenience of those
who are admitted to pay this compliment to their
sovereign."
A letter from Jerusalem, of the 18th ult., in the
Moniteur, says
The civic discords which for several years have
constantly desolated Palestine lately assumed such a
serious character as to call for the employment of force.
Certain powerful Cheiks of the cantons of Napol.)se and
Hebron broke out in open revolt and committed deplor•
able excesses. Fortunately, however, there was no
ensemble in their movements. The mountain of Nape-
lose was promptly pacified, and Kiamil Pacha was able
to concentrate all his efforts against the Cheik Abdur-
rahman-Amer, who kept Hebron, as it were, besieged.
The governor took the field with 300 regulars, some
hundreds of horsemen, 1,000 Arab contingents, and
four pieces of artillery. The insurgent Cheiks retire I
before him, and fortified themselves in Idhna, one of
their principal villages, where they threw up entrench-
ments. After a week's useless negotiations during
which time numerous reinforcements were preparing
to come and take part in the revolt, Kiamil Pacha
was obliged to use his artillery against the entrench-
ments, and, in spite of an obstinate resistance, to carry
the village by assault. Seventy of the rebels were taken
prisoners, 22 were killed, and a great number wounded.
The village itself was destroyed. The effect produced
by this vigorous act has been very great on th• half
savage inhabitants of the country. The great majority
of the insurgent Cheiks came immediately and made their
submis,ion, and paid the arrear of,the tribute which they
bad refused to pay for the last three years. On leaving
Hebron, Kiamil Pacha was to pass along the plains be-
tween Ghazza and Kamleh, where considerable outrages
have been committed and some blood shed. He will, it
is said, reach Jerusalem in about a fortnight.

ARRIVAL OF MORTARS.

Great numbers of mortars are coming up both
for us and for the French, and this gives additional
weight to the opinion I before told you was enter
tained by various persons here—notably by some
of the French staff—that it is intended to crush
the place under a prodigious fire of mortars. There
can hardly be a doubt that these are the most
effective weapons we can employ against Sebas-.
topol. The vertical fire which Sir Howard
Douglas advocated finds partisans among all prac-
tical men here. You may convert the huge earth-
works of the Russian batteries into masses of iron
by a horizontal fire, but for that the enemy will
care little. It is quite clear that his inner works,
and not his outer ones, are what he reckons on,
and only by a vertifical fire can we hope to destroy
the former.

EXTRAORDINARY PHENOMENON.

HARTLEPOOL, Dec. B.—A most unusual and singu-
larly beautiful phenomenon was witnessed here yesterday
afternoon. The wind during the day had blown strongly
from the N.N.W., accompanied with frequent showers
of rain, hail, and sleet, dark patches of clouds flying at
intervals across the sky at a very low altitude. About
4 o'clock a large patch of mote than the usual density
crossed over the town, enveloping it in darkness for two
or three minutes. Shortly after it had cleared away the
inhabitants were suddenly startled by the appearance of
a huge flash of lightning, resembling a magnificent b%

PROBABILITIES OF PEACE.

The Paris Correspondent of the Times (Second
Edition), in his letter, dated yesterday evening

says :

" Peace is, unquestionably, still the order of
the day. It is in everybody's mouth, probably
in everybody's heart, and the least credulous--
those who treated the adhesion of Sweden,
the mission of Count Munster, and the friendly
intervention of Austria with contemptuous
disbelief—or who traced what has been said
about them to the fertile imagination of
journalists—are now sileat, er sullenly admit
that there is something in it after all.' Tho
arrival of M. de Serre, Secretary to the French
Embassy at Vienna, as announced in the journals
of that capital, has proCuced a good effect ; and
M. do Serre is said to be the bearer of a satisfac-
tory reply from this Government and the assent
of England to the proposition or overtures of
A.tistria. We now only wait the news of the arri-

"THE SEVEN AGES ,OF WOMAN."
A new lyric entertainment has beer& produced, in an-
ticipation of adding to the amusements of the Christmas
holiday-makers, in one of the rooms of the above
establishment, in which Miss Emma Stanley takes upon
herself to perform, and illustrate with appropriate cos-
tume "the Seven Ages of Woman."

There are, besides, numerous other characters intro-
duced or connected with the above, for the purpose of
amplifying the subject, all of which are represented in
appropriate costumes, and are e 'angel with amazing ra
pidity, which, together with a great many soma, exe-
cuted w:th much talent and cffect, render this a most
excellent entertainment, and highly creditable to the
varied powers of Miss Emma Stanley, who, if tea! merit
meet its due reward, will receive a large share of public
patronage.

PREVENTION OF ACCIDENTS BY FIRE
IN THEATRES.

TO TAE EDITOR OF THE SUS.

Silt,—The late lamentable and fatal accident at the
Plymouth Theatre, which was almost a counterpart of
that which befel Miss Clara Webster a few years since,

induces me through your columns to offer a hint to the
managers of metropolitan and provincial theatres,
whereby they will be enabled, in a simple and inexpen-
sive way, effectually to prevent the recurrence of these
terrible disasters. Let the glass chimney of every gas
light which is placed in a position of even remote danger
be surmounted by a hollow sphere of fine copper wire
gauze. This sphere should not be less than twice the
diameter of the chimney ; and a segment of the same
diameter as the chimney must be cut from it, and a light
brass ring and holder firmly attached thereto, so that
the whole may he placed securely upon the top of the
glass. It then constitutes to all intents and purposes a
safety lamp, when burned in a non-explosive atmosphere
—the draught is noimpaired, and th•iug.h the hot gases
pass through the meshes of the gauze, they are cooled
by its radiating power below the temperature of igni-
tion, so that paper, or any light textile fabric, if held
immediately over the light, might possibly be scorched,
but would not burst into flame. This hint may be
carried out by any ordinary gas-fitter, and wherever
adopted the chances of fire will be almost entirely
superseded. _ _

SHARPERB.—Last week two sharpers, under the guise
of commercialists seeking for agents to whom they
might entrust goods for sale on commission, called on
,
various merchants in Ayr, Maybole, and Girvan. Those
who agreed to their conditions signed blank papers,
which
itaPPear'were stamped. On these bills were
dwa, and discounted to the amount of 1401. The raac-
ceptors of the bills being made aware of the transac-
tion, and seeing how they bad been duped, immediately
applied to the police. A message by telegraph was sent
to . the Procurator-Fiscal at Kilmarnock, where the
sharpers bad gone, and on the arrival of the train the
two worthies were immediately secured. This ought to
be a caution to merchants to be exceedingly wary how
they put their names to paper,74lavow Dozy Mag.

TURKEY.

A letter from Constantinople of the 29th ult., in
the Gazette du Midi, says :-
1 "The concession of the canal of Kustendji was granted
this day to a company formed of English, Austrian, and
French capitalists, and comprising for Turkey to wealthy
capitalists, Mustapha Paula and Mandl Pacha. The
company has been formed under the auspices of the Am-
bassadors of France, England, and Austria, at Constan-
tinople. The canal will cost 500,000/. sterling, and a
large port which is to be formed will cost 1,000,0001.
This important decision is a practical solution of
the second guarantee of the Conferences of Vienna,
and will give- a mortal blow to Odessa, which will
no longer be the principal port of the Rack Sea. It
is to he hope:l that the Turkish Ministers will pkrist in
this line of policy, as it is only by obtaining the aid of
foreign capital that Europe can be made to tAke an in-
terest in this country. Russia Ills always seen that the
cutting of this canal would be a mortal blow toiler trade;
and when some years ago Austria spoke on the project,
the Cabinet of St. Petersburg declared that it would
make the execution of it a casus Belli. The Porte is se-
riously occupying itself with the drawing up of a code of
proceedings in commercial matt-rs in accordance with
the general principles of consular jurisdiction in Europe.
The commission, charged with the duty, is composed of
several judges of the Tribunal of Commerce, Mussul-
mans and Christians, and of the dragomans of the diffe-
rent legations ; and is presided over by Remzi Eff.ndi."
