LATEST NEWS.

THE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL.

PARIS, Amur, 23, 7 A.M.

The Moniteur publishes the following despatch
from General Canrobert, the Commander-in-Chief
of the Army of the East, to the Marshal Minister
of War :

BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, APRIL 17.

Our fire continues to maintain its superiority,
without our having been prodigal as yet with our

ammunition.

The attack was made chiefly by the artillery,
but the engineers combine their efforts and make
roads, which bring us nearer to the place. These
works advance regularly, notwithstanding the
difficulties of the ground.

MARSEILLES, Sir,NDAY, APRIL 22.

The following has been received from Bala-
klava under the date of the 9th of April, 8 p.m :

The Allies commenced the bombardment this
morning during a storm of wind and rain very
unfavourable to the Russians.

The Russians, surprised, responded slowly, the
Flagstaff and Garden Batteries excepted.
These doubled their fire up to noon, when the
superiority was on our side.
At 3 o'clock the fire of the Mamelon was
silenced, and only four guns were fired from the
Round Tower.

The Redan continued to fire six guns.
The French have silenced the Flagstaff Bat-

tery.
The loss of the Allies is insignificant.
The rain has ceased, and the night is fine.

VIENNA, SATURDAY, April 21, 5 P.M.
Perfectly authentic advices have this afternoon
been received from Balaklava.

The bombardment was continued with great
energy up to the 17th, when the despatches left.

The fire of the Allies had done considerable
damage ; but the Russians display extreme acti-
vity and courage in repairing the injured works.
The fact of the superiority of the artillery of
the Allies is satisfactorily established.

Several French mines have been fired, and
have done great damage to the place.
A French general (Bizot) commanding the en-
gineers had been killed in the trenches.
Our fire had been very effective on every point.

BERLIN, SATURDAY, April 21.

The following despatch was received at St.
Petersburg on Friday from Prince Gortschakoff,
dated Sebastopol, April 15 :
The bombardment of Sebastopol has continued
without interruption since the 9th.
Thanks to the heroism of the garrison, who
repair during the night the injury caused by lb•
fire of the allies, Sebastopol on the 15th is almost
iu the same state of defence as on the 9th.
The losses of the garrison, if the fire of hell
(feu d'enfer) to which it has been exposed le
taken into account, must be considered as very
moderate, as the service of the batteries is covered

by entrenchments.
Nothing worthy of mention has taken place cn
any other point of the Crimea.

MARSEILLES, SATURDAY.
The Osiris, which left Constantinople on the
12th of April, has arrived.
Despatches for the Government leave at 8 this

evening.
A shock of earthquake was felt at Constanti-
nople on the 11th.

KAMIESH, APRIL 10, NooN.
Three Russian batteries and one French bat-
tery have been destroyed.
The fire continues.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS EVENING.)

The Loan CEIANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock. •
The Earl of BESSBOROUGH presented two peti-
tions against Church-rates, and also a petition in favour
of the formation of a Polish Legion.
Lord , CAMPBELL presented a petition from Jed-
burgh, in favour of the Scotch Education Bill.
LEASES AND SALES OF SETTLED ESTATES

BILL.
The Earl of MALMESBURY said he wished to call
the attention of the noble and learned lord on the wool-
sack to one very useful and impnrtant bill which bad
been withrawn in the present session. That bill was
unanimously accepted by their lordships' house as being
a most useful measure. It was%the Leases and Settled
Estates Bill. It appeared that the noble and learned
lord had entrusted that bill in the bands of the Soli-
citor-General, who, after some discussion upon its
details yesterday, withdrew the bill on the ground that
he believed it would be impossible to pass it through
Parliament in the present session. As far as he could
learn from the report he had seen, the noble and learned
lord had not been supported by the members of the Go
vernment in the o*er House of Parliament in the way
they ought to do in connection with measures of great
a Unortance. He wished to, ask the noble and learned lord
whether- it was his intention to re-introduce the bill next
session
The LORD CHANCELLOR quite concurred with
the noble earl that the measure was a most important
one. He did not, however, wish to take the credit of
that measure to himself. It was passed with the almost
unanimous approval of their lordships, and was placed
in the hands of the Solicitor-General, Who took exactly
the same view as he had done. As far as he could hear,
there was a notion abroad in the other house that there
was one particular clause, which would effect what was
vulgarly called the enclosure of Hampstead Heath. Now
the notion was entirely wrong, but to prevent any mistake
a clause had been introduced into it so as to meet
tie objection. (Hear.) The bill had been postponed
in consequence of the lateness of the session, but be in-
tended at the earliest opportunity next session to re-
introduce the bill.

Lord CAMPBELL observed that many important
bills which had been introduced by distinguished mem-
bers of that house, and which had met with general ap-
proval, were not supported in the way they ought to
have been by the members of the lower house. He
thought Sir T. M. Wilson was entitled to compensation,
and that he would be willing to enter into negotiations
with that view.

ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE.

The success of Byron's Mazeppa has exceeded the pro-
prietor's most sanguine expectations. Each night the
theatre is crowded. The impression made by this re-
vival is far beyond any former precedent. The enter-
prising lessee, Mr. William Cooke, continues to produce
most extraordinary attractions in the circle, in addition
to which, the celebrated Mr. George We ild and Miss
Fanny Williams have been engaged, and are received
most gloriously every evening. Their efforts are de-
serving the applause they each evening receive. Great
preparations, we understand, aro making for an extra-
ordinary drama, which will be produced when the ex-
citement diminishes to witness Mazeppa.
London, England, 1855-08-10

NEWSPAPER POSTAGE.

Mr. THORNELY wished to ask the Secretary of the
Trt asp Iry whether any steps had been taken to remedy the
inc. mvenience recently sustained with regard to news-
par eras posted for the colonies and for foreign countries ?
I' tr_ "WILSON stated that the attention of the Postmas-
ter mend had been called to this snbject, and ho lead,
wit h the assent of the Treasury, determined to issue an
ord cr providing that in future it should only be necessary
to ail ix a postage label to newspapers, stamped or tin-
stA raped, which were sent abroad to the colonies, and that
its ha uld not be necessary, as at present, that each copy so
sen t ;should have both an impressed stamp and a postage
sta my.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

Mademoiselle Rachel appeared last night, at this
theatre, in the character of Athalie, in Racine's tragedy.
The great actress selected the second aci of the drama,
for the purpose of exhibit;nz her marvellous powers of
declamation. Perhaps, after all, declamation is Rachel's
great characteristic. The perfect command that she
exercises over her voice, the strange richness of the
tones, are of themselves sufficient to create an impres-
sion that can never be forgotten. As a display of ora-
tory, Madlle. Rachel's Athalie is perfect. The house
was crowded, and the audience testified the greatest
enthusiasm during the performance.

of watches at the custom-house, and having had them
safely deposited in his portmanteau, in his sleeping apart-
ment, he left the house fir about an hour and a half. oi,
his return, having occasion to write a note, he went to
his bed room for the writing materials, and then dis-
covered the apartment in the greatest disorder. On
examination of the portmanteau he found that the
whole of the property, which consisted of 33 gold watches,
a gold curb chain, a gold snuff-box, and a silk purse con-
taining about 61. 10s.—French money--had been ab-
stracted. The property he valued at about 3001. The
watch produced was part of the property.
Police Constable 321 A stated that he took prisoner
into custody yesterday at Mr. Brown's shop in Ryder's-
court, and that he (prisoner) told him that he had re-
ceived the watch from a Mr. Benjamin, who resided in
a street in the neghbourhood of Holborn. Re said Ben-
jamin gave him the watch in his back parlour, and told
him to sell it, and that all the money he got over 41. he
might have for his trouble. He had been to the place
mentioned by the prisoner, but Mr. Benjamin was not
at home.

On being asked by Mr. Henry, the magistrate, to
account for the possession of the watch, the prisoner
repeated the statement he had made to the police con-
stable. He said he resided at 22, Justin-street, West-
minster-road, and was a tailor out of employ.

Mr. Henry—What is Benjamin's other name
Prisoner—l don't know his "Christian" name.
Mr. Henry—You don't mean to tell me you don't
know your brother-in-law's name ?
Prisoner—l only know him by the name of Benjamin.
Mr. Henry—Well, we must have Benjamin, and I
will give you time to produce him. I shall remand you
for a week.

Prisoner—Will your worship admit me to bail !
Mr. Henry—Certainly not. Your statement is too
unsatisfactory.

The prisoner was then removed from the bar.

JOINT-STOCK BANKS.

The half-yearly meetings of the joint-stock banks in
London being now completed, the subjoined table has
been made up, showing their relative capitals and extent
of transactions, as well as the respective periods at which
they were opened and the number of branches belonging
to each. The growth of business exhibited by these re-
turns is still very great, the aggregate of deposits held
by the six establishments having increased from
26.315 ,4731., at which it stood last half-year, to
29,276,4101., showing an augmentation of more than
114 per cent. In this the Union and the London and
Westminster have most largely participated. With
the flood of competition now threatened, after a period
of 15 years, during which scarcely any one seemed dis
posed to enter into any fresh undertakings of this de-
scription, a similar progress for the future cannot be
expected ; but, as the profits now reached are larger
than the shareholders could ever reasonably have anti-
cipated, they will he well satisfied if these can be sus-
tained. Of the additional establishment

THE LATE EXTENSIVE ROBBERY 011' WATCHES.

This morning a respectably-attired man, who gave the
name of Levy, was placed at the bar charged with having
a watch in his possession which formed part of a large
amount of property which was stolen from the house of
No. 1, Cecil-street, Strand, on Monday last.
G. Wilder, an assistant to Mr. Brown, a pawnbroker,
residing in Ryder's-court, Leicester-square, having been
sworn, stated that the prisoner came into the shop yes-
terday afternoon and offered the watch in pledge. He
had, earlier in the day, received a printed bill, stating
that a robbery of watches had taken place at No. 1,
Cecil•street, Strand, and on examining the watch, upon
which he requested the loan of 41., he discovered that it
was made by the person who had been robbed, a Mr.
Milleret, and on further examination he found the
number corresponded with that of one of the stolen
watches. He then asked him where he got the watch
from, and he stated that it had been given to him to sell
by his brother-in-law. A policeman was called in, and
he was given into custody.
Mr. G. Milleret stated that he was a watch manufac-
turer; at Geneva, but at present residing at No. 1,
Ceoil-street, Strand. On Monday hot he cleared a cue

ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE.

The success of Byron's Mazeppa has exceeded the pro-
prietor's most sanguine expect,ttions. Each night the
theatre is crowded. The impression made by this re-
vival is far beyond any former precedent. The enter-
prising lessee, Mr. William Cooke, continues to produce
most extraordinary attractions in the circle, in addition
to which, the celebrated Mr. George Wild and Miss
Fanny Williams have been engaged, and are received
most gloriously every evening. Their efforts are de-
serving the applause they each evening receive. Great
preparations, we understand, are making for an extra-
ordinary drama, which will be produced when the ex-
cit...,meut diminishes to witness Mazcppa.

FOURPENCE.

FOR THE THIRD OR LATEST EDITION.

In consequence of the abolition of the Stamp
Duty on Newspapers the public in all
large cities and towns to which parcels
are forwarded by the News-Agents, The
Sun, which formerly cost Fivepence-half-
penny for the Latest Edition, containing
Parliamentary Debates of the same even-

with Official Despatches from the Seat of
War, the Latest Sporting, and all other
Commercial News, List of Bankrupts,
Ste., ,kc., can now be had for Fourpence,
being a saving of nearly one-third.
Hitherto the price of the paper was nomi-
nally Fivepence, but all Late Editions
posted after six o'clock were charged a
fee of One Halfpenny by the Post-office,
which made the price to the Subscriber
Fivepence-Halfpenny. This charge must
still be made to those in remote places
unless the Postmaster-General have the
.nagnanimity to forego such a paltry
source of revenue.
