THE MEDITERRANEAN.

MARSEILLES, Sept. 20. The steam-transport
Telegraph, Capt. Nicholson, expected here since
the 17th inst., arrived this morning. She brought
Major the Hon. Leicester Curzon, of the Rifle
Brigade, Assistant Military Secretary to General
Simpson, with the despatches containing the de-
tails of the glorious capture of Sebastopol. She
likewise brought a bag of letters for the Admiralty
from the Black Sea Fleet. Capt. Nicholson sailed
from the Crimea at midnight of the 10th inst. He
did not stop at Constantinople, but proceeded to
Malta to coal, where hearrived on Sunday afternoon,
thel6th, and was detained 9 hours. He continued

his voyage, which was impeded by dense fogs. Hee
was compelled to slacken his speed, and to observe
great caution on approaching the coast. The Tele-
graph, which is said to be the favourite steamer of
Sir Edmund Lyons, was a very fast boat, her aver-
age speed being 16 knots an hour. By a long stay
in the Black Sea she has become excessively foul,
and her speed is consequently considerably dimi-
nished. Captain Nicholson hoped to have been
able to get the Telegraph into dock here, but no
such accommodation exists at Marseilles. The cap-
tain visited the ruins of Sebastopol and saw seve-
ral mines exploded. He says that the Russians
previous to their flight connected the mines with
fort Constantine by electric wires, in hopes of de-
stroying any troops which might enter the town ;
but their vile plans had been completely defeated.
A general opinion prevailed in the allied camps that
the Russians would abandon the northern forts
and seek safety in flight.
The present week is remarkable for the unprece-
dented activity displayed in embarking troops and
shipping military stores for the Crimea. On Monday
the Jourdain sailed for Constantinople, taking the
mails, together with General Mangin, detachments
from various regiments of infantry, and 15 sisters of
Saint-Vincent de Paul going to attend the wounded.
Orders were received the same day to recommence
the shipping of bomb shells, which has been
continued. Timber for huts was likewise shipped
in large quantities. The British steamer Lady
Jocelyn arrived from Kamiesh on Monday, bring-
ing 190 military invalids and 45 civilians, who were
landed at the Frioul. General Rostolan, whose
attention to the sick is unwearied, proceeded the
same evening in the steamer Sea Nymph to the
Frioul to see that the wounded soldiers were com-
fortably lodged. The steam frigate Christophe
Colomb, and the steam corvette Eumenide, arrived
onTuesday from Toulon, and proceeded immediately
to receive three battalions of the 11th regiment of
infantry. The embarkation of those troops, to-
gether with the horses of the staff officers, was
effected in a few hours, and the steamers proceeded
on their voyage to the Crimea before night. Twelve
months since a week would have been consumed in
the accomplishment of a similar feat. The 11th
regiment thus embarked is one of the finest
bodies of men I have seen since the commence-
ment of the war. They do great credit to their
officers. The steam corvette Gorgone arrived
yesterday morning from Toulon. She embarked
nearly 1,000 men of various corps, and sailed
for the Crimea. Several hundred casks of gun-
powder were shipped in a sailing transport—a
quantity more than sufficient to blow up all Mar-
seilles. Several gun carriages for field artillery of
more than ordinary size were likewise shipped.
150 quay porters were embarked in a small steamer
which came here with coal, and sailed immediately
for the Crimea. The Marseilles quay porters are
remarkable for their great strength and likewise for
their temperate habits. They are to be employed
in clearing the ruins of Sebastopol. The mail
steamer Sinai sailed to day for Constantinople. She
was crowded with troops.
140 of the Land. Transport Corps have arrived
and are to sail for the Crimea, in the steamer
Telegraph on Saturday.
A letter from Toulon, dated this morning, states
that the screw ship of the line Algesiras is to be
launched on the 4th of October. The same letter
adds that the military hospitals are filled with con-
valescents from the Crimea.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The Liverpool cotton market on Saturday closed
With more steadiness, but no change in prices took

7.00 bales, 500 for export ; and comprising 360
Perimet a id Maranbr.tn 61-d. to 6r d. ; 200 EDp-

number of transactions, and prices were a shade
lower than on Saturday.

Corn has opened flatter and nominally lower,

purchasers com:ng forward.

The steamer Canada, brings about half a million
of dollars in specie from Boston. The American
corn market was not very brisk. The Californian
'was still sending large supplies of the precious

Since the arrival of the Francis ilenty, the
Northumberland has been announced from Aus-
tralia. Her dates are not later, but she has on
board about 270,0001. in gold.

The letters from Germany state that the English
were receiving, at Heligoland, such large supplies
of articles suitable to the maintenance of a garri-
son, that it was more than ever apparent they in-
tended to make the island au important military
Position. A considerable quantity of clothing had
arrived for the Foreign Legion. General Oxholm,
the Danish Minister to London, is stated to have
instructions connected with the Sound dues ques-
tion.

The different governments comprised in the
Zollverein are stated to have acquiesced in the re-
quest of Prussia, and have postponed the date
fGr allowing the exportation of grain until Sept.,
1856. Saxony is about to open a loan for five
millions of dollars to extend its railway commu-

nication.
The Prussian Government, it is stated, intends

to buy grain to a large amount in the United
Status, and will supply its army entirely from that
quarter, in order to avoid pressing upon home
stocks, or competing with the demands of private
lc( usumption.

Tile English funds have been very • depressed

no one can feel seriously alarmed on that score.

In the Foreign Market the principal feature is

England and France the circumstance should make

EARFUL BOILER EXPLOSION—GATESHEAD, Sept. 22
t'An inquest was held at Kibblesworth colliery, near
O()nsley, in the county of Durham, yesterday, on the
1),(19 of John Bewley, an engine-tender, who was killed

the morning, and at first it was thought the pit had

t:tOnate marl high into the air, and hurling him a dis-
Qee of 200 yards from the pit. One of the

indentation made in the soil on the spot when it tt was evident he roust have been blown a great
