RUSSIA.

The Invalide Busse publishes a long report from
General do Berg of the bombardment of Sweaborg.
General de Berg states the loss of the Russians
during the bombardment to have been 44 men
killed, 2 superior officers, 8 subaltern officers, and
110 men, wounded.

In addition to this 11 men were killed on board
the man-of-war Russle, and 1 subaltern and 88 men
wounded ; and 1 sailor wounded on board the
Ezechiel.

A letter from Odessa of the 18th, in the Ost
Deutch Post, of Vienna, says :—" The cholera has
not, entirely disappeared, but has, in a great mea-
sure, lost its epidemic character. All the roads
from the interior of Russia to the Isthmus of
Perekop are filled with troops and militia proceed-
ing to Sebastopol. The corps of grenadiers have
been encamped for some weeks between the Alma
and the Belbeck. A council of war was held on
the 13th at the head-quarters of General Gorts-
chakoff, on the heights of Inkerman, at which
were present, in addition to the general-in-chief,
all the generals having commands, particularly
Count Os-n-Sacken, Chruleff, Kotzebue, Liprandi,
and Wassillchikoff. It is said that a new plan of
operations was decided on at this council, which
is very shortly to be carried into operation."
Since the 14th fresh troops have marched to
Nikolaieff. Those that had been sent to Ismail
have received counter-orders, and their new route
to the Crimea. On the Bth of August, 17 drushines
of the, levee en =ease had come to Simpheropol, from
the government, of Kursk. The next. dar,was one
lof rest. On the 10th they proceeded to the north
camp amid the ringing of the church bells and the
concourse of several thousand military spectators.
T tn
I.deed . the part of the
valiant garrison of Sebastopol when they greeted
their countrymen coming to their aid. A religious
ceremony took place in the camp, and Prince
Gortschakoff welcomed them in the following
words :

All hail, my gallant countrymen ! I welcome you, in
the name pf the whole army. At the first, call of our
late illustrious monarch you left wife and child, house
and property, and hastened to join us, who have been
combating an impious enemy during 11 months on the
extreme limits of our great fatherland. The resolution
you have already displayed is a sufficient guarantee that
yon will in this sanguinary struggle behave a§ Russians
ought to do ; that you will bring honour and glory on
your native country and our beloved Emperor, and be a
terror to our impious enemies. Brethren, your arrival
has rendered my task more easy, and the sacrifice you.
have made for your country is a guarantee that we shall
succeed in driving our`haughty enemy into the waters.
You will soon see that insolent enemy face to face. Then,
my friends, you must boldly face his wild impetuosity,
and see that the reputation and glory of Russia are not
sullier!. In the meanwhile, brothers in arms, let us cry.
Hurrah for our orthodox Emperor, for mother Russia
(‘ nas chei matuschki Rossii '), and for those generous
sons who have immortalised her name."

THAMES HAVEN DOCK AND RAILWAY.

The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders was held
yesterday, at the London Tavern ; Mr. J. D. Louden in
the chair.
The report was adopted, and the meeting was made
special for the purpose of considering what was to be
done with the surplus land of the company.
The CHAIRMAN said that the land (about 115 acres)
had been offered to the Eastern Counties Company and
to the Tilbury Company, and that both had declined it,
neither having the power to raise capital to make docks.
A portion of the ground might be sold by public auction,
hut the remainder would remain a drug on the hands of
the company. Under these circumstances the directors
thought the best course would be to apply to Parliament
to revive their powers to enable them to construct a
dock and the necessary works, The directors now pro-
posed to make a call of ss. per share to defray the ex-
penses of obtaining the act of Parliament, and in case of
failure they guaranteed to return 2s. per share of the
money. They were induced to take this course from a
conviction that a dock was urgently required at Thames
Haven, mad that if any one was to make it, the Thames
Haven Company were the parties to do so.
A long and very inharmonious debate ensued, several
of the shareholders expressing themselves in favour of
selling the land fur anything it would produce, and others
urging time to consider the proposition. After one or
two amendments had been proposed and withdrawn, it
was ultimately arranged that the meeting should be ad-
journed until next Wednesday, in order to give the
shareholders further time to consider the proposition.

We have been favoured by a very eminent mer-
chant with the following extracts of• letters dated
the 13th inst., which have found their way from
St. Petersburg :
" We have just received news from Archangel, that
about a dozen ships had arrived there, amongst them two
Americans ; 40 or 50 more vessels wero expected. The
Russians laugh at us, and ask where are our cruisers?
" About 18 ships had got into Archangel, and all ex-
pected to get away. Cargoes both ways.
" About 250 coasters had sailed from Cronstadt, with
a variety of things for the different ports of Finland."

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lord Chancellor and the Lords Justices o

Appeal.)

EX-PARTE BARCLAY, PERKINS, AND CO.-IN RE GAREN,

A BANKRUPT.- JUDGMENT.

The Lord Chancellor gave judgment this morning in
this bankrupt petition, which was argued before them a
short time since, upon appeal from the judgment of Mr.
Commissioner Fane. The question in this case is one
of great importance to brewers, licensed victuallers, and
persons generally embarking in trade, who have to ex-
pend their capital in fitting up premises in order to enable
them to carry on their business. In the present case
Gawen, the bankrupt, had a leasehold interest in a pub-
lic-house called "The Crown," in Kent-street, in the
Borough, and also in four houses adjoining. Messrs.
Barclay, Perkins, and Co., the eminent brewers, supplied
the house with beer, and Gawen having got considerably
into their debt, he deposited the lease of his houses with
them to secure that debt, and any further advances they
might make to him. The memorandum made on the
deposit of that lease was to the effect that it was intended
to operate as an equitable mortgage of the houses and
their appurtenances, and of the fixtures to the said pre
raises belonging. Gawen made various improvements
on the premises, and laid out on them a conside-
rable sum of money, and the question for the decision
of the Court was, Ga wen having become a bankrupt,
whether the improvements and additions he had made
to the premises were to be considered as goods and
chattels in !the order and disposition of the bankrupt
under the 125th section of the Bankrupt Law Consoli-
dation Act. On the case coming before Mr. Commis-
sioner Fane, he decided that the improvements and ad-
ditions made to the premises by the bankrupt were to
be considered as goods and chattels in his order and
disposition, and that therefore they passed to his assig-
nees. From this decision Messrs. Barclay and Perkins
appealed to the Lords Justices, and their lordships
thinking the question one of great importance expressed
their 'wish that the matter might be argued before all
the Judges of Appeal. The case was argued before the
full Court, and the Lord Chancellor this morning gave
the judgment ; and after going at considerable length into
the facts of the case, stated the clear opinion of the
whole Court to be that the fixtures and improvements
were not goods and chattelf in the order and disposition
of the bankrupt. The decision of Mr. Commissioner
Fane must therefore be reversed.

rho essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
qood, and premature decay ,at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any
Aber class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is
,articularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled:
Is absolutely necessary that all men should know, that there are
nneiples of personal management which cannot be violated without
lcurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
.us heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
sy be mitigated, hew the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
tnd how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all,
It there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
ir,angement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
Author ha% for a series of years teen engaged in an extensive
actice in the treatment of these delicate eompiaints, which have
,ii:ortimately teen too generally confided to the care of ignoraLf
emoirics, who inflict great injuzy on those wLo are induced to place
frith in their pretensions.

TEM ARMY OF OMER DACHA.

The army of Omer Paella, with which he has now
commence,' his great operation?. against the Caucasian
army of Russia contists according to reliable information
of not quite 36,000 men. About 15,000 of these aro
stationed in Batouni. S tokuin-Kaleh and Redoubt-
Kaleh. It was with 20,000 of his best troops that the
Siroar forced the passage of the Ingour. With respect
to the Sirdar's operations in the valley of the Ingour, all
we know is from the short report of Ferhad Pacha, the
chief of the Turkish staff, with the exception of the well-
known telegraphic despatch. This latter officer occu-
pies, with 12 regiments of infantry and 4 regiments of
cavalry, the main road from Redoubt-Kaleh to Kutais.
Omer Pacha's attack was made from Soukum-Kaleh
against the Russian position on the Ingour ; yet in
reality it is Ferhad Paella's diversion from the road
along the left bank of the Ingour that has compelled
the Russians to retreat from there, and fall back on
the heights of Kutais. By his advance along that
road, Ferhad Pacha covers the further movements
of Omer Paella, who has two smaller rivers to cross
yet, before he can effect his junction with Ferhad
Pacha. Accounts differ respecting the strength of
the Russians near Kuteis ; but we learn that Prince Be.
butoff is hastily collecting there his rest rues, that he may
be able to make head once more againet the enemy in
the defiles of Kutais. The latest accounts received from
Constantinople give out that Omer Pacha has also
brought up his reserves, and the opinion prevalent in
Stambeul was, that a i,econil ergagement will take place
near Santredi, where the roads meet that run from Kutais
to Redoubt-Kaleh and Shefke'il.—Cologne Gazette.
It is notorious that the inaj.,r part of the officers on
Omer Pasha's staff consist of Magyar refugees. Weppler,
once a cavalry captain in the Austrian arm), who is a
mest efficient officer, a cousin of Ordnance-master Hay-
na.u, was appointed only the other day to the command
of the cavalry corps. He arrived at Soukum Kaleh on
the 23d October, accompanied by Runic' Pacha, one of
the Seraskier's aides-de-camp. The last-named officer
brought to the Sirdar orders to advance forthwith on
Mingrelia, because scouts had reported, in agreement
with certain secret reports regularly sent to the Porte
from General Mouravieff's head-quarters, that Omer
Dacha would meet with no serious resistance, and would
find capital winter quarters in Mingrelia. It is said that
the Porte has kept up a constant communication since
the outbreak of the war with various officers of Polish
extraction who are stationed at the Russian_ /lad-
quarters in Warsaw, in the Crimea, and before liar •

THE BLOCKADE IN THE BALTIC.

We have been favoured by a very eminent mer-
chant with the following extracts of letters dated
the 13th inst., which have found their way from
St. Petersburg :

" We have just received news from Archangel, that
about a dozen ships had arrived there, amongst them two
Americans ; 40 or 50 more vessels were expected. The
Russians laugh at us, and ask where are our cruisers ?
" About 18 ships had got into Archangel, and all ex-
pected to get away. Cargoes both ways.
" About 250 coasters had sailed from Croustade, with
a variety of things for the different ports of Finland."

had been chartered to accompany the race, and was
densely crowded by the friends of both men, while the
shores were well lined with spectators.

received information of the death of Mr. Francis Bailey,
under the following circumstances :—The unfortunate
gentleman was in the habit of walking in his sleep. The
other night he opened his bed-room window, got out,
and fell a depth of from 20 to 30 feet. He was picked
up by a police-constable in a state of insensibility, and
taken to St. George's Hospital. Every attention wax
paid him, but be expired shortly after his admission.

THE BALTIC.

KIEL, Nov. 19.—The Locust arrived here this
morning with the last mail which had been received
fir the fleet at Dantzio from England. Admiral
Baynes was still at Nargen, where he would likely
remain for some time in charge of the flying squa-
dron, which will maintain the blockade as long as the
weather will permit. The Falcon and other ves-
sels are reported by the Harrier, which also came
in to-day from Faro Sound, to be still watching
the Swedish coast, as au American trader, now
in one of the ports there, will, it is understood,
endeavour to land a lot of revolvers in Russia
whenever she can elude the vigilance of our crui-
sers. The same vessel, it is said, succeeded in a
similar enterprise last year, and they therefore
reckon the more confidently on being able to carry
out their plans this year also. There are other
places, however, where similar arrangements are in
progress. At Lubeck, in particular, it is known
that preparations are making to despatch vessels
for Libau and other Russian ports the moment it
is thought they may be enabled to reach their
destination. These cargoes, however, chiefly con-
sist of colonial produce, of which they are said to
stand in great need on the northern shores of the
Gulf of Finland, and in the Russian portion of the
Gulf of Bothnia. It is not unlikely that brim-
stone and saltpetre may also be forwarded by that
route, as the transit by railway through Konigs-
berg does not now afford the same facilities as for-
merly.
From Copenhagen we hear of great preparations
which are making for the reception of General Can-
robert at that court.

JOZEATJ'S COPAHINE, or SACCHARATED
C A.PSULES.—Copaiba and Cubebs are, doubtless, the best
remedies, but these drugs are of a repulsive taste and odour, and
occasion colicky pains, nausea, and gastric disturbance. M. JOZEAU
has succeeded in rendering these valuable therapeutic agents perfectly
innocuous, by increasing in his Copahine all their curative pro-
perties. This important preparation has been adopted by the Paris
Academy of Medicine, after more than 1,000 trials In the Paris
and different London hospitals, viz , St. Thomas's, Guy's, and Bar-
tholomew s, under the care of Messrs. Lloyd, Poland, and Legros
Clerk. (See " Lancet" Nov. 6, and Dec. 10, 1852, a copy of which
will be forwarded on application.) The Copahine, which is in the
form of a pretty pink sugar plum, effects a cure in about six days,
either in recent or chronic diseases. One hundred capsules, 4s. 6d. ;
50, 2s. 9d.—To be had of the Inventor, G. Jozeau, sole French
Chemist, 49, Haymarket, London, and all the most important
