LATEST NEWS.

THE CAPTURE OF KINBOURN.

We have received the following telegraphic de-
spatch : _ _

PARIS, OCT. 23.

Marshal Pelissier has forwarded to the Minister
of War the following communication relating to
the operation of the allied forces at Kinbourn :
SEBASTOPOL, OCT. 21, 5 P.M.
I have just received from General Bazain his
report of the capture of Kinbourn.
The Anglo-French division of the army has
actively contributed to the success of the allied
squadron.

Having been landed on the peninsula about
5 kilometres from the fortress, it took up its posi-
tion, and in the night of the 16th opened the
trenches at 800 metres from the works.

When the fleet commenced its heavy fire on the
17th, two companies of Chasseurs, under cover, at
a distance of 400 metres from the batteries, were
able to keep up a fusilade on the Russian artillery-
men at their guns.

The field artillery also played an effective part

n the operation.

We have taken 1,420 prisoners, including
General Koianovitch and 40 officers, with 174

pieces of cannon and a quantity of ammunition
and stores. We are now in full occupation of an

mportant position.

Such are the results to the Allies of this suo-

cessful expedition.
The Russians have rendered this success com-
plete by themselves blowing up the fortifications
of Oczakoff on the 18th.

I send you the standard, with the arms o:
Russia, which floated over the walls of Kinbourn

GREECE.

A letter from Athens of the 13th, in the Moni
;eur, says :

" Admiral Jacquinot, who commands the French
naval squadron in the Levant, having received intelli-
gence that the brigands, who had carried off Captain
Berthand, were in the neighbourhood of Salamis, sent a
steamer with a party of marines, and the Procureur du
Roi of Attica in pursuit of them. This expedition,
which was conducted with as much rapidity as skill,
was attended with perfect success. The man who had
come to the Piraeus to deliver the letter to the Admiral,
demanding the ransom money of 30,000 drachmas, the
master (yr the boat who had carried back the money
and delivered up Captain Berthand, as well as two
other masters of boats connected with the band, were
seized. Two more of these brigands were also taken
in a fishing•boat near Megarp. These two men, on
being confronted with Captain Berthand, were at
once recognised ,by him as having formed part of the
band who had detained him prisoner. One of these
men was readily recognised from his having a hare-
lip. The belief is that this man had acted as a spy
for the band before the attack, that he was en
the road at the moment of its perpetration, and
that he afterwards went into the mountain to prepare
the repast for the party. In addition to the office of
cook to the band, this man also acted as secretary, and
it was he who had written the letter to the admiral, and
which was concluded by the following words :—` That
if he did not pay the ransom of the captain, his conscience
would be responsible for the crime which he would com-
pel them to commit. The Greek judicial authorities to
whom these brigands were delivered up have declared
that they would;very speedily be brought to trial, and in
all probability they will be condemned to death. It is
necessary that a striking example should be made in
order to put an end to those acts of violence and robbery,
which at every instant compromised public safety, from
the weakness and insufficiency of the means of repres-
sion employed by the Government."

THE RACE.

After some delay the fiag;;;;e dropped and the work
began in earnest. Miss Allen jumped off in front, but
the running was almost immediately taken up by Fla-
crow ; Mary, Miss Allen, Robgill, Flatterer, Veteran,
Crown Pigeon, Welham, and two or three others form-
ing the front division, Sultan lying about three lengths
behind Flacrow. At the Duke's Stand Dame Judith,
Vandyke, and Pole Star were seen in advance of Rob-
gill, Flatterer, and Crown Pigeon. At this point Sultan,
full of running, came up on the higher ground, and
whilst his jockey looked round with an air of confidence,
and appeared to feel that his chance was now a cer-
tainty, he gradually drew to the front. Flacrow, how-
eviy,
enrt,maintained the lead to within 50 yards of the chair.
Sultan then took the command in gallant style, Mary,
Dame Judith, Veteran, and Lady Tatton being his
nearest pursuers. Mary made an admirable effort, but
was beaten easily by a length, an interval of two lengths
separating the second and third. Veteran, a head be-
hincl the third, was fourth. The next lot consisted of
Lady Tattoo, Flacrow, Vandyke, Pole Star, Crown
Pigeon, Welham, Ellermire, Robgtll, Old Noll, and
Miss Allen.

GREAT SCULLER'S MATCH—(This Day.)
H. KELLY AND J. 111ACKINNEY FOR £lOO
A SIDE.

This very exciting event took place this afternoon over
the old course from Putney to Mortlake. An immense
number were assembled on the banks to witness the
race. Kelly took the Surrey Side, and at about half-
past one, the men took their station', Kelly being much
fancied, and having a slight call over Alaciiinney in the
betting. A.t the appointed signal they were off, rowing
very evenly till off Searle's, when Mackinney met with
an accident which put an eul to all further interest in
the match ; his left scull caught the back-water, and un-
fortunately turned his boat over ; his cutter being at
hand immediately righted him, but by this time Kelly
bad got ahead full three hundred yards, and took it very
easy over the rest of the course. Mackiuney, as soon as
possible followed, and at the finish was full one hundred
yards astern of Kelly.

robbery, with violence, on Charles Lewis Thinnat, and
stealing his watch and chain, valued at 91.
Mr. Thompson prosecuted, and Mr. Lilley defended.

infest this metropolis. The prosecutor, a compositor,
was going home about oue o'clock in the morning, upon
the Bth of September, and had called in at the Eques-
trian ravern, Blackfriars-road, when the prisoner got
into conversation with him, and followed him, prosecu-
tor, as far as the Magdalen, when four other men came
up, and, seizing hold of him, ill-treated him very much
and stole his watch from him.

The jury found him guilty, and he was sentenced to
four years' penal servitude.

The prisoner was in the employ of the prosecutor as
his warehouseman, and on Friday last he went to the
shop of Mr. E. J. Cooper, leather seller, City-road, and
said he knew a man who had five skins to sell for 355.
each, and aked him to purchase them. At the desire
of Mr. Cooper be brought them to him the following
day, when he was told to leave them and to call on
Nlonday for payment. In the meantime be gave the skins
to a police-cfficer, sad did not see the prisoner again
until he was in custody.

A servant in the employ of the prosecutor identified
one of tbe skins.

Mr. Shaw said the prisoner bad the sole charge of the
warehouse, and had been in his employ for nine years,
and was earning 28s. per week. He had missed seven
skins, and was enabled to state one of the skins pro
duped was in stock on Oct. 4, and had never been sold.
The currier's marks were taken off.

Foulger, detective, apprehended the prisoner at the
prosecutor's premises, and charged him with having
offered the skins for sale. He denied it, and he then
to,,k him in a cab to Mr. Cooper, who identified him as
the man who offered them for sale. On searching him

and °Alicia' causes Of the destruction of our army, every
one of which we denounced at the proper time, and
every one of which
.was bol.tered up by eur'contempo-
rary as trifling or of no importance. In vain we pointed
out, in Al, nil and May last, that a body of infantry
lauded on a bare sea coast,-withont artillery, with very
little cavalry, without a commissariat, baggage train,
medical ambulance. or cattle for the conveyance of any
of these, even if theypossesseJ them—however it might
be considered fit for garrison duty; could never be viewed
as. or act in the character of au army. All remon-
strance against these things was calic4l in those da,:s
" croaking," but bitterly ha,vii mit unfortunate soldiers
paid for our advice being under-rated.
Our contemporary new t 3,!ki a great deal of nonsense
about the misfortunes of the army being occasioned.
the want of a scientific staff, but although we yield to
none in the wish for the proper training of cur staff
officers, we must insitt that it was want of common
sense, if not deliberate error, which occasioned all our
misfortunes.
What scientific knowledge was' necessary to order
30,000 or 40,000 pairs- Of boots and a sufficiency of
warm clothing to be shipped from England at tho, end
of Angust or beginning of Septembei, when the expedi-
tion to the Crimea was determined on ? Surely common
sense might have told even the Duke of NewcasVe that
wherever the army, wintered these things would be
wanted. Common sense might have told the Govern-
ment at home that reinforceoients would be required if
the war was to be carried on, and that an army of re-
_serve should be stationed in the Meliterranean ; and
yet the Coalition sent no reinforcements till Novemb,r,
and then sent the unfortunate men to perish in their
summer clothing, while Lord Palmerston, fur fear the
supplies of troops, which 'were evidently necessary,
should bo at the disposal of Government,-obAinately
and peremptorily reflised to embody the militia.
These are a fe-v of the things which Mr. Roebucl:;s
comraittee ehould investigate, and these are the matters
which the forthcoming meetings must insist shall be
probed to the very bottom.

STRICTURE of the URETHRA : its Rational
Treatment and Prompt Cure.

By F B. COURTENAY,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.

" We believe Mr. Courtenay's experiencein the treatment of stric-
ture durin.; the last twenty years has equalled, if, indeed, it has not
surpassed, that of any of his contemporaries. It is, therefore, no
matter of our, rise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a
most dexterous and Skilful manipu ator with urethral instntments ;
and a hen it is remembered that the lamented Liston used to assert
that the Introduction of instruments through a stricture which bad'
previously been impermeable to them; was the most difficult in the
whole ranee of surgic4 operations, it must be no slight source of
eratification on Mr. ourtenay's part to have achieved the reputation
he has in this res ect ; and for our part, with the knowledge we have
of his experience, we know of no man to whose care we would with
g eater c.mtidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture
of the urethra."—Medical Circu ar.

BALAKLAVA.
THE SORTIE OF THE 24TH.
FEB. 21, 4 a.m.—l was woke up shortly after
two o'clock this morning by the commencement
of one of the most furious cannonades 'ire
have heard since the siege began. The whole
line of the Russian batteries from our left opened
with inconceivable force and noise, and the In-
kerman batteries began playing on our right ;
but the French were most exposed to the weight
of this most terrible fire, which shook the
very earth, and lighted up the skies with in-
cessant lightning flashes for an hour and a half.
Under cover of it a very strong sortie has been made,
and for half an hour the musketry rolled inces-
santly with volume and vigour enough for a general
action. I have just this moment returned in the
dark, both physically and mentally, and I am
unable to discover what was done by all this
sound and fury. I fear to have to report some
heavy losses, for it is impossible that so much gun-
powder and ball could have been thrown away.
The roaring of the shot and shell was terrific
—a continuous scream like that of a locomo-
tive whistle heard in the depths of a tunnel. The
instant the fire opened I got out of my blankets,
and went towards the front, but I could see nothing
but a blaze of fire before the trenches ; our bat-
teries were silent. As no person—not an officer
even unless he be actually on duty—will be per-
mitted to go down to the works or beyond the in-
lying sentries and pickets, I can at this hour of the
morning tell you no more than that the firing
has now ceased, and I have returned with the
impression that a very serious affair has taken
place. Judging from the weight and extent of the
fire the Russians must have been in large bodies—
perhaps a sortie of 2,500 or 3,000 men, and as they
were splendidly covered by the fire of _their bat-
teries, I do not think they could have suffered
much when they were finally repulsed. The post
leaves at seven o'clock, and if I can get any parti-
culars about this affair I will write another letter.
As yet no one has heard anything about-it. Every
one is up. The reserve companies of the regiments
in trenches are all under arms.
The cannonade lasted, from 2.15 a.m. to 3.50
a.m. In much of the time they fired, as I counted,
15 guns in 30 seconds, and sometimes the reports
came in regular salvoes, and the flashes leaped
forth in great flares of solid fire, so that it was im-
possible to tell what number of guns the enemy
were working. The echoes of tie reports towards
the close among the hills in the distance were tre-
mendous, and increased the tumult.

WEDNESDAY EVENING.
The following private telegraphic despatches
lave been received :

" The Clyde which arrived yesterday at Marseilles,
brings news diat the 6th division, supported by the
9th, is specially besieging the Tower Malakoff.
The new Russian batteries which command the
Tchernaya endeavoured in vain to interrupt the
operations of the allied troops. The works
are impeded by bad weather. On the 20th, 18
Russian battalions marched on Balaklava.
General BosquA with 25,000 men, English
and French, made his arrangements to cut off
their retreat during the night, but a violent
storm and fall of snow prevented an encounter,
and the Russians and our troops returned to
their former positions. It is said that Prince
Menschikoff has sent his cavairy to Perekop for
want of forage. General Cassagnolles has formed
a Commission at Constantinople to purchase horses
to remount the French cavalry. The price of wheat
has fallen at Constantinople. The Inflexible line-
of-battle ship, the Orenoque frigate, and the For-
tune corvette, aro about to return to Toulon.
Generals tilled. and Ali, of the army of Kars, have
been degraded, and are now in prison."
" TRIESTE, Gth.—Accounts from Smyrna, of the
28th ult., state that a collision took place between
the Cairo and Loucisor steam packets, near the
island of Mitylene. Several persons are said to
have been seriously wounded."
" WARSAW, 6th.—General Tutschek has b3en ap-
pointed military governor of Warsaw, in the room
of General Rudiger, who is to have the command
of an army."
HAMBURG, sth.—The governments of Minsk
and Mohilew have just been declared in a state of
siege and the government of Tchernigo has been
placed under the Orders of Prince Paskiewitch."
The Emperor yesterday received replies from the
Dukes of Saxe Coburg Gotha and Altenburg to
letters of recall of the Marquis de Ferriere le
Vayer, and to the letters of credence of the Prince
de Latour d'Auvergue.
The ministerial crisis in Belgium has as yet
scarcely advanced a step. The Independance of
Brussels of yesterday says :—" We ate assured that
M. Delfosse, president of the Chamber of Repre-
sentatives, who is at present at Liege, has been
summoned to Brussels, and is to be received this
day by the King."

TilE ART-UNION OF GLASGOW:

• . . .
Yesterday afternoon we availed ourselves Of the polite
invitation of Mr. Eidson t) inspect, at. 121, Pall-in.:II,
the prize paintings to be distributed amongst the meth-
ben of the Art-Union of G`asgow, in July next. They,
consist, at present, of one hundred and eleven pictures,
the maj rity of which are pßintecl in oil colours, and
some of them are perfect gems of art. As most of the pic-
tures have been publicly exhibited we are net called upon.
to ontor int) the merits or demerits of them, and
we shall here only refer to a few of the most strik-
ing amongst them. 'First and foremost then the eye
of the visitor is attracted by a wanting by Sant,
entitled " Watchirg the Combat ;" iteon,ists of the ce
Saxon maidens watching from an aperture in tie
rocks the struggle going on between their countryn,i
and the Danish invader... The picture, although in an-
unfinished state, is an exceedi sgly beaut ful ore,- thouth
there are portions to which we object. We have no
doubt but that an opportunity will occur to enable us
to pronounce judgment on it in a finished state. " Musi-
dore," by Frost, is one of•his most exquisite productions;
and •` &inset," by Branwhite, is another firit painting.
The rays of the declining sun passing through the clump
of trees to the left seem actually to warm you as you
gaze upon them. "An Irish Cabin Door," by Dean, is a
perfect, picture. "Mending Tapestry," by D. Pasinore,
remarkable for the filling up of the back ground, Lilt
it will be greatly improved when the extreme whiteness
of the maiden's dress is mellowed down by time.
" Flowers," by 111 is Meutrie, also deserves special
commendation, and the frame only dispels the delusion
that they are not reality.
We were informed that the collection is still incom-
plete, as a number of pictures from Edinburgh are still
expected. The exhibition will open to the public to-
morrow, and to those who visit it we drop the hint that
the subscription list is still open. Like the Art-Union
of London, the subscription is one guinea, which can be
paid in the room ; or at the office of Mr. G.• Grant, 66,
Gracechurch-street,

DR. %AIM'S MUSEUM.

Last evening we were`favoured with a private view of 1
this exhibition on its removal from Piccadilly to No. 4,
Coventry-street. To the numerous preparations and
models for which the iniveurn is celebrated others have
been added, reflecting great credit on the 1 berality al d
skill of the proprietor. Some of the models Pre highly
artistic productions, and the entire exhibition is arrang(d
in a satisfactory manner. Lectures will be delivered,
we understand, as usual, by Dr. 'Sexton, whose ability
as a lecturer is generally recognised. To the student
of anatomy, of physiology and ethnology, to the me n-
\ hers of the malical profession and others, a visit to the
museum cannot fail to be highly interesting and in-
structve.

SOUTH-EASTERN.

A meeting of shareholders in this company was held
in Manchester on Tuesday to consider the question re-
lating to the election of new directors; Mr. A. Kay was
voted to the chair.

The CHAIRMAN having explained the objects of the
meeting,
A long discussion ensued, in the course of which Mr.
C. Child and Mr. A. Beattie, directors of the company,
entered into explanations of their views, and that of
other members of the board, with regard to the policy
that should be pursued in respect to ether companies,
and the means that should be adopted to improve the
property of the company. Those explanations appeared
to be satisfactory to the proprietors present, wl•lo, it was
stated, represented nearly 2,000,0001. of the stock of the
company. _ _

Resolutions were passed in favour of re-electing Mr.
Rich, Mr. Beattie, and Mr. Gilpin, the retiring direc-
tors ; and of electing Mr. Cross, Mr. Troyes, Mr. Mel-
lor, and Mr. G. Thompson to fill the vacancies at the
board. It was believed that the adoption of this mea-
sure would put an end to the discord which Las hitherto
prevailed at the board, and enable the members of it to
direct their attention to the development of the traffic
and the cultivation of friendly relations with neighbour-
ing companies.
The proceedings concluded with votes of thanks to
Messrs. Child and Beattie and to the chairman for
their exertions in promoting the interests of the shale-
