LATEST NEWS.

THE CRIMEA.

Russian despatches from the Crimea of the 23d
show that nothing important had occurred before
Sebastopol to that date. From the 16th Novem-
ber to the 18th December, the Allies had received
reinforcements to the extent of 24,009, including
Turks. The Saint Louis was encountered at Cape
Matapan on the 14th, with 1,000 French troops on
board. Twenty-five transports, with reinforce-
ments and supplies, had passed Cape Saint Ange
in five days with a fair wind.
Despatches from Vienna state that Prince Gort-
schakoff has urgently pressed Count 13aol to allow a
representative of the Germanic Confederation to
take part in the further conferences at Tienna.
The Governor of Odessa has published a tran
quilising order of the day on the subject of an
apprehended visit of the allied fleet.

THE FOREIGN LEGION.

The chief president of the Grand Duchy of Posen
has, of course by orders 9f the Government, al-
ready entered the lists against the foreign legion,
and it is natural to conolude that similar notices
will be issued by the regencies of all other pro-
vinces :

" POSEN, DEC. 28.
"The Prussian Criminal Code, Art. 111, ordains—
He who enrols a Prussian for service in foreign States,
or the recruiters who conduct them, as likewise he who
premeditatedly excites a Prussian soldier to desert, or
favours premeditatedly the desertion of the same, shall be
punished with imprisonment varying from three months
to three years. All attempts at such dealings shall be
punished in a similar manner. As it appears that offices
are to be established in the Netter-lands and Hansa (free)
Towns, for the purpose of foreign enlistment, I avail
myself of the opportunity to bring the above penal
enactment to memory, and enjoin as a duty upon all
police authorities of the province to arrest forthwith all
recruiters, and to deliver them over to the Attorney
General, to take from them their papers of legitimation
(passports, &c.), and, if be be a foreigner, to look to his
expulsion, after be has undergone punishment, or other
expired imprisonment. I expect a report upon each
case that shall come to notice.

(Signed) " VON PIITTICAMMER, Chief President
of the Provhice of Posen."

The Suabiam Mercury states that in Spain, Holland,
and Hamburg depots for receiving volunteers for the
Foreign Legion which England is about to raise are to
be established under the direction of English officers.
Each volunteer, it adds, is to receive 25fr. on entering
and 300 fr. when he shall have joined his regixnent. He
is also, it says, to receive as much tea, liquor, &c., as he
likes.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT•

OLD COURT.

-TILLS DAY.

(Before the Recorder.)

Henry Kirkby, 45, artilleryman, was indicted for
stealing some pieces of lead and brass, the property of
our sovereign lady the Queen.

Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Sleigh prosecuted, and Mr.
Robinson defended:

It appeared that the prisoner, who bore a very high
character in the regiment, had been engaged in the
proofing department of the Arsenal at Woolwich, and
the property stolen was a telescope stand made of brass,
and two pieces of lead used for covering the touch holes
of the pieces of ordnance. The property, which bore
the usual Government mark much obliterated, had been
upon two occasions offered by the prisoner for sale to a
store dealer in Woolwich. Upon the occasion of the pri-
soner's second visit, the store dealer having some suspicion
detained the property, while he brought and gave notice
to the police. The prisoner, whe did not deny having
taken the property to the dealers, gave an unsatisfactory
account about it, stating that an officer for whom he
had been doing some work had given it to him.
Mr. Robinson, at some length, argued the improba-
bility of a man bearing so high a character as prisoner
committing such an offence. He had been 23 years in
the service, and would shortly have his half-pay, which
he would forfeit all claim to if convicted of this offence.
It was most likely that he did not know that the property
did belong to the Government, the marks being so
effaced, and might have received the things, which were
of but slight value, as he had stated.
Several officers of the regiment gave prisoner a high
character.

The jury found prisoner guilty, recommending him to
mercy on account of his character.
The Recorder said he would take time to consider the
sentence.

Thomas Bailey, 26, tailor, was indicted for cutting
and wounding Henry Kimbly, with intent.
It appeared that the prosecutor, who bears the appear-
ance of a low-ciass pugilist, was upon the night of the
20th of November at the King's Arms, Market-hill,
Shadwell, drinking with the prisoner, and that the pro-
secutor had attacked him first by throwing some ale
in his face, and then struck him several times, upon which
prisoner drew his knife and stabbed him in the lower
part of the belly, from the offsets of which he was cox-
fined to his bed for three weeks in the hospital.
The jury found the prisoner guilty of unlawfully
wounding.

The Recorder asked the prisoner who he was ?

The prisoner said an American by birth, and had but
just returned from Memel with a cargo of Russian tallow,
but since he had been in prison his ship had sailed.
The Coroner respited the sentence until next session.

TuE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

SIMON'S BAY, Oct. 21.—As the fair Robert Peel,
mail-steamer, is advertised to sail to-day for England, I
shall give you a few hurried lines, and by way of making
up a letter wiil just jot down imprimis the present dis-
position of her Majesty's ships and vessels on this
station.

To begin, then—The Seringapatam, coal depot ship,
with the pendant of Commodore Trotter, and the Dart,
tender, are in statu quo in Simon's Bay.
The Hydra, Commander Morris, is employed carry-
ing troops to and from the frontier.
The Frolic, 16, Commander Nolloth, is about to pro-
ceed on a surveying expedition to the mouth of the
Orange River.
The Penguin, 6, Commander Etheridge, remains in
Simon's Bay pro tem. ; while the Norbudda, 12, Com-
mander Kerr, is the only vessel in the Mozambique.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, DEC. 30.—Wait until the belligerents
are exhausted before you interfere actively. Hus-
band your resources until France and England have
bled to the last man, and paid to the last penny.
Then advance, and throw your sword and dollars
into the Russian balance. That is the proper policy
for Prussia. If she adhere to this system she will
render herself mistress of the position, and dictate
laws to the West. Such is the advice and intention
of the dominast party. This has been no secret
during the last 12 months. The pleasant scheme
never was so openly proclaimed, however, as wthiin
the last few days by Professor Leo, of Halle, and
cited by the Russian organ from that worthy peda-
gogue's weekly paper
"The Crimea," exclaims the Russian organ, or the
professor, it matters not which, "is like to Hougou-
mont, La Hayo Sainte, and Belle Alliance, and it
may easily happen, that the cry Of The Prussians
are coming !' may decide the matter—provided always
they do not arrive too soon--but wait for the
evening, and are really those who have the last drums
and last shillings. Then they may drive whole bands
of French before them; as they did at La Belle Alliance,
with the mere rattle of their drums. But, fur God's
sake, not too moon. Even as the German Imperial
Crown lay on the pavement of Berlin—not the paper
crown, but the real one—when nothing was wanting
but to pick it up and put it on without opposition, or to
stand still and look on tranquilly; so the attributes of
the highest political majesty in Europe lay now on the
open field, and all depends on not seizing upon thew
too soon—upon not embarrassing ourselves too soon
with the magnet."
And this species of pleasant self-conceit and in-
fallibility, this empty effort at political roguery, is
put forth as a grand stroke of polity befitting a
great European Power. But this "not too soon"
project may be nipped in the bud before the pro-
fessor and other German subjects of his Ccesa.rian
Majesty are wide awake. People may come " too
late" as well as " too soon !"

NEW' SIEGE GUN.

Government has instructed Mr. Nasmyth to make a
cast-iron siege gun, and another engineer proposes to
make one of cast steel. We have, however, seem the
model of a gun, which, we believe, will supersede these
and all others now in use.

This gun is the inventio. n of Mr. Will lams, formerly of
Everton, Liverpool, but now of Pembroke, and the con-
tractor for executing the Government works at Milford
Hay„„. Mr. Williams's gala oat. be' made either of
wrought iron or cast steel, and of any size: Th. oost
will not be great, the efficiency undoubted. But it has
one most desirable advantage over all other guns. At
Sebastopol siege guns were removed R ith great difficulty
—in bad weather not at all. Mr. Williams's gun can be
carried on men's shoulders !

It is made in piecei, which pieces can be put together
in a few minutes by a mere labourer, acid when put to-
gether will be stronger than any gun cast or fabricated
whole. The model will be laid before the Minister of
War next seek. ,

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

By letters from the Principalities we learn that
Brailow is now surrounded by a treble line of re-
doubts. In the outer line there are five, in the se-
cond four, and in the third three redoubts. Omer
Pasha's wife was to haYe followed her lord and
master to Constantinople, but on her way from
Bucharest to the Danube the carriage in which she
was travelling overturned, and she insisted on re-
turning to the Wallachian capital. A batch of
press-laws has just been published for the benefit of
the Wallachians.
From the Ist of January, 1855, the Austrian
Army of Occupation in Moldavia and Wallachia
will be paid in silver in zwanzigers instead of bank-
notes. This regulation cannot but give great satis-
faction, as the inhabitants of the Principalities have
always displayed an intense dislike to anything ix
the shape of paper money.

RUSSIA.

The Soldaten Freund is of opinion that if the
Allies can manage to defeat the Russian army in
the field, they will be able to obtain possession of
the southern part of Sebastopol without any seri-
ous difficulty. "A successful attack on the southern
works of Sebastopol will, however, be the signal
for sinking the ships in the port, blowing up the
forts, and a general retreat to the northern forti-
fications, which will be defended to the last."
Directly after the arrival of General Osten-Sacken
at Bakshi Serai ho reconnoitred in force, and had an
opportunity of convincing himself that the English
Rifles ought never to have been permitted to get
possession of a certain position which commands
the southern part of the place. Our country men
have strongly entrenched themselves on the spot in
question ; and it is known to the Russians that they
have constructed batteries of heavy guns from the
ships, with which they will bombard the Sailors'
Suburb and the different objects on the shores
of the port. On the 14th a slight frost set in
after 42 days' rain. After having inspected
the line of the Pruth, Prince Gortschakoff sent his
troops into winter quarters, and ordered two regi-
ments, which were advancing with artillery to Reni
and Leova (on the Pruth), to retrace their steps.
The reason given in the Russian camp for the de-
parture of the two Grand Dukes is the illness of
their mother, the Empress.

THE'AMPHION.

Orders arrived at Sheerness yesterday for the crew of
the Amphion screw steam-frigate to be paid down ; but,
in consequence of a heavy gale of wind blowing from
north-west, causing a heavy cross sea in the harbour
early in the day, the foul weather signal was made from
the flagship, prohibiting all boats from leaving their
ships. She will not in consequence be paid until to-day
(weather permitting). One six-oared cutter, belonging
to one of the ships under the pendant, which left the
ship before the signal way made, was blown on shore on
the Ordnance ramparts near the pier, and broken up ;
fortunately the crew all escaped.

VIENNA , Dec. 29.—Colonel Manteuffol has had
a second reception from the Emperor, at which
he was treated with great &auction. On Mon-
day, also, the colonel had the honour of being a
guest at the imperial table ; and nothing is want-
ing that can evince consideration for Prussia and
ker diplomatist. It is remarked that the colonel
pa" daily visits to the Enzlisb And Prniach em-
bassies, while he has made no attempt to estab-
lish diplomatic relations with Prince GJrtschakoff.

Meanwhile our warlike preparations go on. All
the officers on leave of absence have received orders
to rejoin the army of Gallicia. The 3d regiment of
artillery has received orders to leave this for Gal-
licia on the 3d of January. Baron de Hess is to
proceed on January 10 to Lemberg, to assume defi-
nitively the command of the army, and is to be
accompanied by General Letang. An army of
reserve of 40,003 men will be formed in Moravia,
with its head-quarters at Olmutz ; and for the last
week troops from Italy have been ou their way for
that destination.

A letter from Vienna, of the 27th ult., in the
Post Gazette of Frankfort, says :—" If indications
be not deceitful, Prince Gortschakoff is making
preparations for departure ; at least we are as-
sured that he has dismissed his steward, and ha
caused the rich furniture which he had recently
purchased to be valued by an auctioneer in order
to be immediately sold. These news are, however,
in complete contradiction with the gaiety which
the Prince displays."
The Cologne Gazette contains a letter from Vienna
of Dec. 27, which says :—" All the officers on leave

ceived orders to leave this for Gallicia on

have strongly entrenched themselves on the spot in
question ; and it is known to the Russians that they
have constructed batteries of heavy guns from the
ships, with which they will bombard the Sailors'
Suburb and the different objects on the shores
of the port. On the 14th a slight frost set in
after 42 days' rain. After having inspected
the line of the Pruth, Prince Gortschakoff sent his
troops into winter quarters, and ordered two regi-
ments, which were advancing with artillery to Reni
and Leova (on the Pruth), to retrace. their steps.
The reason given in the Russian camp for the de-
parture of the two Grand Dukes is the illness of
their mother, the Empress.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 2, 1855.,

combat with minor difficulties in a spirit worthy of the
occasion. The subsequent fluctuations in the value of
grain. through --;-n9 for exp-rf, have nod. dir,'i-
nished the confidence in the adequate nature of the
home supply ; and, although quotations may exhibit
firmness at the average advance, there is little appre-
hension of lengthened scarcity. A remarkable feature
to notice, in the midst of this general perturbation, is
the almost inflexible stability of the funds. No doubt
can be entertained that the greater number of capitalists,
especially of the investing community, are less excited
by war or war rumours than they were half a century
since. It is true that, during the agitation occasioned
by the declaration of hostilities, Consols sank to Bg-, but
the fall was principally produced through heavy specu-
lative sales, which ultimately ruined many who engaged
in them. The reaction, afterwards apparent, which
caused a rise to within a fraction of 96, establishes a
range of about 11 per cent., but there has once more
been a change, and the nearer quotation is 914.
Doubtful as the future seems to be--and it is very
hard to attempt vaticination on points so complex as
those involved in the existidg state of foreign relations—
there is yet a gleam of hope that, if
.Austria Prussia
be brought to a proper sense of their true interests, a
peace may at no distant date be concluded. But it must
be distinctly understood that victory or defeat does not
depend upon those powers.
Their acquiescence may
facilitate an arrangement which is likely to be beneficial
to themselves and also to Russia. An expenditure such
as England and France, out of the whole European
family, can alone bear, will probably be necessary to
carry out the war, should their policy dictate a different
plan ; but each of those two nations, now they have
once pledged themselves to the conflict, will most cheer-
fully exhaust their resources rather than succumb to the
proposed aggression of the all-usurping Nicholas.

ELECTION FOR HUNTINGDONSBIRE.

HUNTINGDON, Oct. 23.—The election of a member of
Parliament to supply the vacanoy in the representation
caused by the elevation of Lord Mandeville, the late
member, to the dukedom of Manchester, took place this
day at Huntingdon ; but the proceedings were almost of
a routine character. _ .

The county has for a period of 18 years been in the
hands of the Conservatives, but lately the Liberal party
has been gaining strength, and on the demise of the late
Duke of Manchester an organisation was attempted, and
resulted iu a semi-cansent from John Moyer Heathcote,
Esq., of Conington House, to stand at the next vacancy ;
but eventually that gentleman declined to contest the
county on the present occasion, and the consequence has
been that Mr. James Rust, of Alconbury House, enters
Parliament without opposition. There was a total ab-
sence of all the demonStrations usual at foregone elections
for Huntingddrishire. The friends of Mr. Rust met at
-the Fountain, and proceeded thence to the place of ll
election, at the Town-hall ; Mr. Heathcote and his
friends met at the George, and also attended the hall.
R. Hussey Hussey, Esq., proposed, and the Rev. Jas.
Linton, of Hemingford, seconded, the nomination of Mr.
James Rust, and each passed a high eulogiuni upon Mr.
Rust's private character and business habits, the latter
being evinced by his discharge of his duties as chairman
of the Quarter Sessions, and otheriublic offices.
No other candidate being proposed, Mr. Rust was de-
clared duly elected. In making his acknowledgments be
said that he should, in taking his seat in Parliament,
rank himself amongst those who recognise the Earl of
Daby as their leader ; but in so far declaring himself a
party man, he wishedit to be understood that he claimed
for himself the privilege of most careful examination of
all measures brought before Parliament, and he could
assure them that all that were likely to be beneficial
should have his support.
A vote of thanks to the sheriff concluded the pro-
ceedings, and the meeting dispersed.

referring to the clerk's recent report upon the outlay
thereat, he stated that 13,0001. or 14,0001. more would
be required to pay off expenses.
Mr. T. H. HALL observed that the treasurer should be
requested to apply to different companies to borrow the
sum required.
Some of the commissioners considered that such a
course was not necessary ; but a proposition to the effect
of the suggestion was ultimately agreed to. It appears
that this cemetery has cost nearly 75,0001.
It was mentioned also that several of the arches farm-
ing the catacombs had fallen in on the morning of last
Wednesday, and that two of the contractor's workmen
had been seriously injured. The surveyor appointed to
superintend the works stated that he bad called upon
the contractor, who immediately complied with the
directions to rebuild the arches.

PORTUGAL.

LIVERPOOL' Oct. 23.—The Cintra steamer has
arrived with Lisbon dates of the 15th inst. The
Peninsular packet Madrid had landed her mails
from Southampton on Friday night, and left the
next day for Gibraltar ; and the Royal Mail packet
Tamar arrived at Lisbon the same day (13th),
cooled, and went on with the mails for South
America at 4 o'clock the same afternoon.
__

Her Majesty's ships St. George and Neptune
were, with the French steamer Newton, the only
foreign vessels of war anchored in the Tagus.
The late heavy rains had ceased at Lisbon, but
not without doing great damage in the provinces to
large quantities of wheat and Indian corn, which
had been stacked in the open air that the oxen
might take their time to tread it out—so primitive
are still the habits of farming in Portugal.
