THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

- -
PORTSMOUTH, Thursday Night.—Her Majesty's
steam-frigate Penelope, Captain Sir William Wise-
man, arrived at Spithead this evening from the
Cape, St. Helena, Ascension, and Madeira. She
left the Cape on the 6th ult. with the 91st Regi-
ment, mustering 318 strong, including officers. The
intelligence brought by the Penelope strengthens
the report of the loss of her Majesty's sloop Ner-
hudda, off Cape Agullas ; no tidings had been re-
ceived of that vessel up to the date of the Pene-
lope's departure from the Cape.
Lieutenant Comber, of the Hydra, has come home
to pass his examination.
The Frolic, 12, Commander Nolloth, and the
Hydra, 6, Commander Morris, were the only sea-
going vessels at Simon's Bay when the Penelope
left.

The officers of the 91st, who have come horn.
with the regiment, are—Major Wright, command-
ing ; Major Rawstorne, Major Savage, Captains
Gordon and Bruce, Lieutenants Crampton, Bond,
Lane, Thomas, Gregg, and Hall, Adjutant Squirl,
Ensign M'Pherson, Quartermaster Patterson, Sur-
geon Arden, Assistant-Surgeon O'Niel.
The Cape Colony was quiet, and the Governor,
Sir George Grey, had started from Cape Town for
the frontier, to visit the Caffre Chiefs.
The Penelope has been constantly employed in
removing troops from Cape Town to the frontier,
and has performed most important and essential
service during the time she has been out on that
station. She brought mails from Ascension and
Madeira, and was present at the latter place at the
proclamation of the young King of Portugal. The
Penelope, during her run round from Simon s
Bay, encountered for the last three days a con-
tinuous breeze from the S.E., the last day amount-
ing to a smart gale ; the fourth day, Sunday, was
fine, the wind shifting to the W.N.W., at which
point it has continued, with slight variation, to
blow violently ever since. The only members of
the Legislature on board were Messrs. Mete's..
kamp, Wood, and Godlonton, who speak in high
terms of Captain Sir W. Wiseman and the other
officers of the ship, all of whom vied in their en-
deavours to render their brief companionship
among them as agreeable as possible.

WINTER OPERATIONS IN THE CRIMEA

As the question of further operations at this season
of the year in the Crimea naturally arises, it is worthy
of note that many of the Russian successes in that quar-
ter last century were obtained in he wintry season. It
is recorded in " Nash's Historical Researches" that as
late as December, in 1708, Marshal Lacy, an Irish
exile in the Russian servioe, was detached with 15,000
men to the Ukraine ; in December, 1769, the Russians
fought and gained a great victory on the Don ; in
January following the battle of the Bender, where an-
other of the Lacy family served with eclat. In 1787
Potemkin led his army against the Turks and Tartars
in the Crimea so late as November, arid gained several
victories up to as late as the 3(1 of December. Marshal
Francis Lacy, of Austria, also led the Austrian armies
to several victories on the Danube and its tributaries. So
late as the 17th of December Oczakoff was stormed by
Gen. Maurice de Lacy, another Irish warrior. In the cam-
paign of 1790 the several forts of Kenia' Tulsea, Isaachia,
and Ischatel on the Danube and Black Sea were stormed
and taken between October and the ISth of November.
The great Ismail, "the impregnable," was invested on
the Ist of December, the batteries opened on the 20th,
and the fortress stormed on the 22d, by General Maurice
Lacy, who headed the first attacking party, and took it
after four hours' carnage. During these operations the
Turks were masters of the Black Sea, the Sea of Azoff,
and the Crimea. The nephew of that general, Cornet
Pierse, also served in the war of 1828-9.

PREPARATIONS FOR WINTERING IN THE CRIMEA.—
Yesterday morning orders were forwarded to the Ord-
nance storekeepers in the Tower and Woolwich Arsenal
to forward without delay to the various outports, for
shipment to the Crimea, as many of the new l attern
blankets and rugs, waterproof coats and capes, ox hide
boots, and Canada stoves, besides the requisite culinary
stores, as may be ready for delivery. Nearly the whole
of the huts contracted for by Messrs. Cubitt and Lucas
Brothers are completed, and a very large number have
been forwarded to their destination.
London, England, 1855-09-28

The Bastion du Centre.

As soon• as the French were established in the
Malakhoff the order was (riven for the attack on
the other points. The attack was to begin at the
Bastion du Centre, and, that taken, the Bastion
du Mat was to be assaulted by the Piedmontese
brigade Cialdini. All these other attacks were
quite unsuccessful. The Little Redan was at-
tacked four times, scaled liked the Great Redan,
and at last abandoned. The same happened in the
attack on the Bastion du Centre. A curious inci-
dent occurred at the attack by General De Salles.
When the French came back, the General who
tried to turn them back seized one of the soldiers
and exclaimed, " Vous n'etes done pas _Francais?"
The soldier, touched to the quick by this reproach,
exclaiming, " Comment ! je ne suis pas Francais ?"
rushed back alone, scaled the parapet, and, while
brandishing his musket aloft, continued crying out,
" Comment! je ne suis pas Francais ?" until he was
shot down. In consequence of the failure of this
attack the other on the Bastion du Mat did not
take place.

THE EMPRESS OF RUSSIA.

A private letter from Berlin states that the news
of the taking of Sebastopol has produced at St.
Petersburg the utmost consternation. The young
Empress, who appears to desire to be at the head
of the peace party, does not spare her reproaches
against the war party. She says that if the note
of Vienna had been accepted, Russia would have
been spared the humiliation of the four points of
guarantee demanded by the allies; and that, if at
a later period those guarantees had been accepted,
Russia would have been spared the shame of the
defeat of the Tchernaya and the terrible disaster of
the fall of Sebastopol. The journey of the Em-
peror to the south had been resolved upon before
the fall of Sebastopol was known. Its object was
to raise the spirit of the Russian army, which,
according to the reports of Prince Gortschakoff,
was greatly broken and depressed. The Russians
are much more embarrassed to find men than
provisions and munitions of war, especially as
one-third at least of the effective troops remain
behind on the way, and never come up to their
destination.

The youthful Earl Coventry, with a select party of
juvenile friends, is shooting over his estate at Croome,
in Worcestershire.

BALLOON ASCENT.—On Wednesday evening last Mr.
Coxwell made the second of a series of contemplated
ascents in his war balloon, from the Surrey Zoological
Gardens, for the purpose of illustrating the system of
telegraphic signals invented and perfected by himself
with reference to military purposes in particular. The
aeronaut was accompanied by two gentlemen of scientific
acquirements ; and the evening being all that could be de-
sired, the code of signals was worked to great advantage.
Not having a key of the telegraphic signals we are not
in possession of the facts communicated thereby ; but
the varied changes of the telegraph excited universal
cariosity amongst the assembled thousands, who wore
immensely gratified at the sight.
DREADFUL OCCURRENCE AT EORSELTDOWN.—Yester-
d_aY a respectable female, named Mary Ann Smith, wa,
found with her throat cut. The unfortunate woman had

THE MEDITERRANEAN.

MARSEILLES, Sept. 26.—There have been nume-
rous arrivals of steamers and transports laden with
sick and wounded soldiers from the Crimea during
the last three days. The mail steam-packet
Simois arrived on Sunday, bringing upwards of
400. Some English officers, who came as pas-
sengers, say that the wounded- suffered • severely

THE FALL OF SEBASTOPOL.

GRAND DINNER AT HOMBURG.
On Friday, the 22d instant, a number of English,
French, and Sardinian gentlemen visiting Homburg,
dined together tat the Belle Vue Hotel to celebrate the
taking of Sebastopol by the allied forces. The chair
was occupied by Sir Alexander Malet, Bart., her Ma-
jesty's representative at the Diet of Frankfort. Covers
were laid fer 40. His Excellency was supported by Sir
William Fraser, Bart., Sir Boucher Wrey, Bart.,
Messrs. Huddleston, Vansittart, H. Beauclerk, Carey,
Lawlor, Mitchell, Reed, T. Harris, Gould, Dr. Pry-
therch, Col. Macdonald, Capt. Cooper, Capt. Christie,
Monsieur de Laurencin, Monsieur de Frochin, and
others. The vice chair was filled by Capt. de Voccance.
The room was gracefully decorated for the occasion ;
and over the president and vice-president's chairs were
sonic well-executed tableaux illustrative of the successes
of our armies in the Crimea. After dinner,
Sir ALEXANDER MALET, in proposing "The health of
our most gracious Queen," eulogised the sympathy she
had evinced for her subjects in the Crimea, a sentiment
which identified her with her people. He congratulated
the country on the prejudices which had been overcome,
pitiful prejudices, suggested by interested individuals, to
prevent a visit to the metropolis of France, which had
done much to consolidate an alliance calculated to give

ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORREICEA,
with the View of distinguishing the Imaginary from the

Errors in relation to their Treatment and Cure. From 'he German
of Dr. PICKFORD. With an Introduction by the Editor, containing
a complete exposure of the system of terrorism and extortion pursued
by the advertising quacks of the metropolis towards those who are
credulous enough to seek their aid.
"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
aal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time. he informs as, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
:al reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any
Alter equally flagrant evil which it may be in his ,ower to cor-
rect."—London Medical Gazette. " The tribe of ' Quiet Sympathisers,'
and Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed; and if this book
:cad find its way into the hands of those who suffer from the corn-
laint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money ......This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."

SECONDARIES' COURT.
(Before Mr. Secondary Potter.)
DE MEDINA V. FLACK.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a solici-
tor, to recover 61. 14s. Bd. of the defendant, a journey-
man baker, for professional services rendered.
The defendant pleaded he was not indebted, ma the
ground that the plaintiff, through his agent, undertook
the business in question, on the principle of " no cure
no pay." A wrong distress having been put into
his house the plaintiffs clerk said there was a good
cause of action against the party wrongly distraining,
and that the defendant would undertake it for the costs
he could get out of that person.
This was denied by the plaintiff, and
Mr. Secondary Potter having ruled that an agent could
not in such a case bind the principal,
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for
41. 10s.

MANSION-HOUSE.

William Smith, a boy 11 years of age, was charged
before the Lord Mayor with pocket picking.
Police•constable Dunnaway, 129 H, deposed that, a
rowing match taking place yesterday afternoon on the
Thames, he was on duty in plain clothes on Custom-
house Quay, when he saw the prisoner put his hand
into a lady's pocket and take something out, and join
two or three other boys. He went up to him and asked
him what he had. He said nothing, but on searching
him he found on him a port monnaie containing one
sovereign, one shilling, one franc, and a fourpenny

piece.

The polite bad been unable to find the lady to whom
the purse belonged, and the prisoner was remanded till
Wednesday.

John Cox, carman, in the employ of Messrs. Hall
and Co., candle manufacturers, of Queen-street, Cheap-
side, was charged with stealing a quantity of composite
candles, the property of his employers, and Irvin
Dinning, 59, Tooley-street, oilman, with receiving the
same, knowing them to have been stolen.
The prosecutors having occasion to suspect Cox's
honesty he was watched by one of their clerks, and
was seen yesterday afternoon to stop in front of Dinning's
shop, when the latter assisted him in to his shop with
two 12 dozen candle boxes, after which Cox took a 61b.
packet of composite candles into the shop. He shortly
after came out and drove off. He was unable to say
how many candles were in the boxes.
Inspector Newnham apprehended the prisoners, and
found on Dinning's premises a large quantity of
candles of a description different to those invoiced to
him from the prosecutor.
The prisoners were remanded.

Sebastopol Firing on the Russians.

A mortar-battery which the French have esta-
blished was playing on the 13th on the Russians
at the other side, and shaking the ruins of Fort
Nicholas with its report ; but the great surprise
was, that it was not returned, and that Constan-
tine remained quiet. With the naked eye, the
Russians could be seen "scuttling" away from the
shell. Below the monument I entered a fine
building, which I decided in my own mind to have
been the theatre or opera-house ; and not far from
this was a splendid church. Passing up one of the
streets I was attracted by the music of a French
band, which was having its afternoon practice, and
soon after the French drums beat their usual rap-
pelle, which warned us that sunset was approach-
ilia, Before quitting the place I paid a hasty visit
to their batteries in rear of the town, which were
very similar to those in the Malakhoff and Redan,
and well protected from shot and shell. The more
the surprising strength of the whole place is looked
at, the surprise that it has not before fallen gives
-way to wonder that it is now in possession of the
allies.
I Roads Mended with Cannon-Shot.

I came out of Sebastopol, and returned to camp
by the Woronzoff-road. Here fatigue parties have
busily engaged during the day in repairing
and it is almost ludicrous to see the por-
bttiheloeenia road,o th e road that is done with round shot—
large holes filled up with them, in other places
large pieces of road paved with them, and along
the whole distance the sides of the road are edged
with them. The numbers of officers and men re-
turning to camp put one in mind of a road after
garrison races, so great were the number who had
obtained passes for the gratification of seeing what
we have so long fought for.
\
The Bombardment.

The bombardment, the most terrific which, per-
haps, was ever directed against any place, was con-
tinued day and night for three days. It was not
so much the demolishing of the earthworks or the
dismounting the guns of the enemy which seemed
to be the primary object of it, as to prepare the way

A letter from Vienna of the 22d, in the Inde-
pendance of Brussels, says :

" From the accounts which have been received here
it would appear that the allies are actively preparing
for a campaign, and doubtless they have it in contem-
plation to force the Russian line of defence of Techerker-
Kerman, or, in other words, to make a diversion against
Bakshi-Serai. This town, which contains 1,500 houses,
and 10,000 inhabitants, is the station of the reserve of
the Russian army which holds the plateaux of the Bel-
beck. From 300 to 400 deserters, most of them Poles,
have arrived at the allied camp ; they relate, that the
demoralisation of the Russian army was most complete ;
and that such was the confusion from the first moment
of the attack, that the soldiers, exhausted with fatigue,
remained for 24 hours without provisions. The loss of
the Russians is estimated at 18,000."
A letter from Berlin of the 23d says :—" Vari-
ous circumstances at St. Petersburg seem to
indicate that Prince Gortschakoff will soon
evacuate the forts to the north of Sebastopol.
These forts, since the destruction of the Russian
fleet and the naval establishments, are only stra-
tegic points. Well-informed people say that if the
Russian General should consider it desirable to

AITSTRIA.
A letter from Vienna, in the Augsbtot Ga-
zette, says It is at present certain that Aus-
tria will not attempt to interrupt, the march of
military events by a new proposition of mediation,
whatever may be her; desire to see peace re-esta-
blished. It is clearly seen here that, in point of
fact, this result cannot be attained by diplomatic
intervention, and that peace can only be esta-
blished after the complete exhaustion in men and
money of one of the belligerent parties."

MANSION-HOUSE.

William Smith, a boy 11 years of age, was charged
before the Lord Mayor with pocket picking.
Police-constable Dunnaway, 129 H, deposed that, a
rowing match taking place yesterday afternoon on the
Thames, he Wll4 on duty in plain clothes on Custom.
house Quay, when he saw the prisoner put his hand
into a lady's pocket and take something out, and join
two or three other boys. He went up to him and asked
him what he had. He said nothing, but on searching
him he found on him a port monnaie containing one
sovereign, one shilling, one franc, and a fourpenny
piece.

The police had bee► unable to find the lady to whom
the purse belonged, and the prisoner was remanded till
Wednesday.

John Cox, carman, in the employ of Messrs. Rail
and Co., candle manufacturers, of Queen street, Cheap-
side, was charged with stealing a quantity of composite
candles, the property of his employers, and Irvin
Dinning, 59, Tooley-street, oilman, with receiving the
same, knowing them to have been stolen.

The prosecutors having occasion to suspect Cox's
honesty he was watched by one of their clerks, and
was seen yesterday afternoon to stop in front of Dinning's
shop, when the latter assisted him in to his shop with
two 12 dozen candle boxes, after which Cox took a 61b.
packet of composite candles into the shop. He shortly
after came out and drove off. He was unable to say
how many candles were in the boxes.

inspector Newnham apprehended the prisoners, and
found on Dinning's premises a large quantity of
candles of a description different to those invoiced to
him from the prosecutor.
The prisoners were remanded.

Grandeur and Beauty of the Captured

City.
Whatever idea one has formed from looking a
Sebastopol from Cathcart's-hill and the trenches,
and every one has heard of its respectability as a
city, I must say I was little prepared to witness
the remains of anything so beautiful. To ride
along what must have been the grand sheet, and
see the lamp-posts and pavements seemel to call
forth the remembrance that there are such things
yet in the world. The houses, or I should spy man-
sions, that are passed one after another in the most
frightful delapidations are most surprising ; a
number of these appear to have been public build-
ings. Nearly every house must have had some
architectural pretension, the rows of pillars and
columns are unceasing, and from the visible re-
mains I should say it ought to have been one of
the prettiest places in the world. The cleanliness,
and I was going to say order, was astonishing ;
what I mean by order was the cleanliness of the
streets, even where barricades had been erected.
The fronts of some houses appeared so perfect that,
with the aid of a strong imagination, you could
almost fancy you were riding in a nice town, where
nothing had happened, and in other parts that ycu
were only visiting the scene of a disastrous fire,
and presently expected to get beyond the pale of
its rage ; but alas ! wherever you went, all, all was
alike—never was destruction and desolation more
complete : never had man worked more successfully
to destroy his own work. The great point of at-
traction was a monument just inside Fort Nicholas,
and close to the water's edge ; a mere enchanting
view I never remember to have looked upon. It
must have been the fashionable lounge of Sebas-
topol. This monument, which is surrounded by a
fort, and bears date 1834, is surrounded by a plea-
sure ground, from any part of which you may get
a view of the Forts Constantine and Nicholas, the
harbour, the opposite side, and a great portion of
the town.

for a sudden assault by throwing a continual shows.
of missiles into the place,...and thus forcing the
enemy to keep his troops under shelter. In order
to effect this the cannonade was kept up, so to say,
by fits, so as to induce the enemy to leave his bomb-
proof shelters whenever the fire became more lan-
guid, and then suddenly to re-open again with a
general salvo of all the guns, and drive him in.
The measure was well calculated, for in all former
bombardments it had been observed that whenever
our fire became heavier they remained silent. This
was at first interpreted as if we had dismounted
their guns, but it was proved by the attack of the
18th of June that their guns were not at all dis-
mounted, but that they did not fire in order not
to expoie their men.

GUILDHALL.

EMBEZZLEMENT.—Renezer Carers was charged be-
fore Alderman Humphery with embezzling 501., the
funds of the City of London and General Loan Associ-
ation.

It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner had
acted as secretary to the association for 5 years, but had
ceased to be so occupied the past 6 months. It was
part of the duty of the prisoner to receive the repay-
ments of money advanced, entering the amounts on a
card furnished the borrowers, and to put the money
into the till. Since the prisoner had left the society an
examination of the books, &c., hal taken place, and
deficiencies discovered amounting to the above sum.

Evidence having been given of the non-accounting of
three payments made by a Mr. Cakebread, surety for a
borrower of 51., namsd Davis, the prisoner was re-
manded. Bail would be taken for his appearance.
THE ATTEMPTED MURDER ON SNOW-HlLL.—Georgc
lley, remanded, charged with attempting to murder
his wife, Ellen Mulley, was again placed at the bar.
Mr. Alderman Ilumphery said he had received a me-
dical certificate stating the unfortunate woman was still
in a dangerous state, and was unable yet to attend ;
consequently, he must be further remanded.

P. C. 10 said he had been at the hospital, and under,
stood the prisoner's wife was in a weak state; last nigh
and the night before she threw up a large quantity o
blood.

The prisoner was remanded till to-morrow week.

THAMES.

A FAMILY or THIEVES.—Two girls, who both gave
the name of Elizabeth Smith, and stated their ages to be
19 and 17, were brought before Mr. Yardley, charged
with being in possession of half a ham and eight yards
of cotton print, suspected to have been stolen or- un.
lawfully procured.

William Copping, police•constable 379 K, stated that
the real name of the prisoners was Hunns, and they be
longed to a family of thieves. After a lengthened inves
tigation,

Mr. Yardley said he had no doubt the prisoners got
their living by thieving. He sentenced the youngest
prisoner to two months' imprisonment and hard labour,
and the eldest to six weeks' imprisonment and hard
labour.

VIOLENT AMIULT INA PUBLIC•IIOUSE.-11tomas Kancs
and Daniel Beam, mechanics, were charged with being
drunk, disorderly, and assaulting William Hymes and
James Taylor, the former barman and the latter potman
at the Coach and Horses public-house, in High-street,
Shadwell.

The prisoners were fined 206. each, which was paid.

CLOTHING THE ARMY.

Sir DE L. EVANS asked the Clerk of the Ordnance
when it was intended to introduce any improvement in
the cloth for clothing the army ?
Mr. MONSELL said the clothing of the army was
not yet transferred to the Ordnance, but, as soon as it
wag, the quality of the cloth would be duly considered,
with a view to its improvement.
BREECH-LOADING CkRBI NES.

Sir DE L. EVANS said it was reported that most
of the principal gunmakers in the metropolis had been
invited to send in to the Ordnance specimens of their
breech-loading carbines. Now, he was told by some
of them that they had received no such invitation, and
he should be glad to know if that were so
Mr. MONSELL raid there would be do objection to
produce a list of those who had been invited ?

In reply to Mr. BELLzw, _
Sir CHAS. WOOD said Lord Dundonald submitted

him to publish to the world what the result was, or how
the Admiralty would decide upon it.

PRUSSIA.

. .
BERLIN, MARCH 23.—The Chambers have re-
jected the project of address, by a large majority.
This was naturally to be expected, when the Mi•
nister for Foreign Affairs informed the house that,
albeit he held himself responsible' for all acts,
the foreign politics ,of the country were in the
hands of the King. To vote for the address
was therefore, in the general opinion, to ex-
press condemnation, not so much of the Cabinet,
which is a fixture, but of the King himself,
whose name is perpetually dragged forward, by
deficient and failing ministers, as a shield. The bill
for according ministers permission to dispose of the
remainder of the 30 millions loan was also adopted,
but with all the amendments propcsed in committee,
one of which is that the faculty shall not extend
beyond the 31st of December next—a restriction
which shows the degree of cenfidencnplaced in the
Government, even by the majority. Thus the two
questions are set at rest, but not without another
severe rent in the statesman's mantle of the Minis-
tertPresident.
