RUSSIA.

It is stated from Odessa, that Gen. Luders is
about to establish his winter-quarters there, and
that a large number of troops, who had left for
Nicolaieff and Oschakoff, have returned.
The Kreutz Zettung publishes the following •
" ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 29.—Since the snow
has be en covered with a crust of ice, enormous
trains of sleds, ' six miles long,' have entered the
Crimea by Perekop and the spit of Arabat, loaded
with provisions and articles for the use of the
army."
A letter from Warsaw of the 4th, in the Danube
of Vienna, says :—"Extraordinary activity is being
displayed in effecting the new recruitment, and in
arming and exercising the men, and it is certain
that the forced truce of the winter will be very
useful to the Russians. They are in particular en-
deavouring to form riflemen, and not only do they
obtain Minie rifles from Liege, but they are caus-
ing others to be made at Tula on the model of some
taken from the French before Sebastopol. In each
corps of Russian infantry, at present there is only
one battalion exercised with the rifle—that is one
man in 48—a proportion far inferior to that in the
armies of the Allied powers ; and it is on that ac-
count that the number of riflemen is being increased.
Not only are the battalions of riflemen in Finland
being raised to their full effective, but a rifle corps
is being formed, and each government is required
to raise one or two battalions, and to have them
armed chiefly at the expense of the nobles."

PRUSSIA.
BEItLIN, Dec. B.—The election of the various
Presidents of the Hou e of Deputies took place last
Thursday, and verified all thet has been hitherto
said of the overpowering majority of the members
of the Right. The President chosen, Count Eu-
leuburg,, the first Vice-President, Herr von Arnim
Heinrichsdorff, and the second Vice-President,
Herr von Buchtemann, all unknown to fame and to
Parliamentary life, Lolong, however, to the ultra-
Conservative party. To Count Schwerin only 138
votes were given, while his adversary received 187.
The Right side has, howeuer, renounced the intention
formerly entertained of disputing Count Schwerin's
election, as isaverred on the cautious calculation that
the same circumstance of defective formality at his
election that would unseat him would also deprive
of their seat two members of their own party who
were elected at the same time with him for the
sae place, and under the same circumstances ; the
re-election of the two Tory members in that circle
not being looked on as so certain as the re-election
of the Count.
The House of Notables has elected for its Presi-
dent, by 113 out of 117 votes, Prince Pless, who
fulfilled this function last session (which was also
the first of the new Upper House) with credit to
himself. Not even as Vice-President could Count
Itittberg, President of the First Chamber, before

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

The renowned Spanish dancer Perea Nena with
Manuel Perez and their gay company of Coryphees are
now fulfilling their final engagement, as next week they
leave for the continent. Great preparations are being
made for the Haymarket Pantomitne, which, according
to the speciality of this house, will be founded on a
popular nursery story. Mr. William Callcott, whose
scenery was so much admired last year in Little 80-Peep,
is employed on the present production.

gleaned from the spot. There are said to be con-
siderable stores of provisions heaped up in Simphe-
ropol and Duvenkoi, where the Russian reserves
are.

The Russians seem rather anxious about the
Tchongar road, and they have thrown up batteries
near the bridge, as well as on both the peninsulas
which it connects. The Tchongar and not the
Perekop road is said to be their main channel of
communication with the interior, which is not at
all surprising, as this latter is more exposed, owing
to the contiguity of the allied forces at Eupatoria.
As regards the disposition of the Russian troops
in the Crimea, we hear that there are still 11 divi
!ions of infantry remaining in the south, two hav-
ing gone north. Immediately after the fall of Se-
bastopol, when the French went down towards the
Upper Belbek, a great number of troops were sent
that way, so that from the pass of Aitodor down to
Albared and Kutshuk Sioren there were seven di-
visions, the 6th, 7th, Bth, 9th, 10th, 13th reserve;
and the 15th, the 16th, and 17th were on the Mac-
kenzie heights, the 4th and sth at Inktxman, the
12th in the Sevcrnaia, and the 11th on the Bulb, k.
When the demonstrations from Eupatoria forced
the Russians to show front in that direction the
4th and sth were sent there ; the 11th came down
from the Belbek to take their place ; and the Bth
was sent to replace the latter.
Since the fall of Sebastopol not a man of regular
troops is said to have arrived in the Crimea—only
about 26,000 militia. These latter were of those
enrolled in April last. Probably, in order to work
on the religious feelings of the new conscripts, they
were all enrolled during the holy week-23 in
1,000. They were of all ages, from 17 to 60—boys
and old men—no distinction was ma''e ; whether
they were married or not, they were taken according
to the will of their owners, who naturally sent
those who were of least use to them. The new
conscripts were drilled for a month, and then
sent off.

They are dressed like the other Russian soldiers,
minus the buttons, which have been replaced by
three clasps for the sake of economy ; they get the
same pay as regular soldiers, and are divided into
druschines or battalions of 1,000 men. Each
druschino is attached to some division, and takes
alternately the outpost duty ; besides this, the
militia are considered as the " bandy Bills" of the
regular troops, do all the whitewashing, &c. They
form the laughing-stock of the regular army, and
are bullied by the inferior officers, although they
say the generals are kind to them.

the constitution of the House of Notables, and
who may be suspected of a slightly Liberal lean-
ing, secure an election ; Count Eberhard zu Stol-
berg-Wernigercde was elected First Vice-Presi-
dent, and Herr von Duesberg Second Vice-Presi-
dent.

A letter from Berlin, of the 7th, says :—" The
Russian ambassador had to-day a private audience
of the King, to present an autograph letter from
the Emperor Alexander, announcing the betrothal
of the Grand Duke Nicholas. The epizootic dis-
ease, which had broken out amongst the cattle in
Prussian Poland, still causes commercial relations
to be suspended with that country. It has been
finally found necessary to abandon proceedings for
the taking of the letters of M. de Gerlach and M.
Niebuhr, the penal laws containing no enactment
applicable to the case. In consequence of the affair,
no more of the telegraphic despatches known as the
Gortschakoff despatches' are now sent from St.
Petersburg. The repreSentatives of most of the
States have already arrived for the conference of the
States of the Zollverein, which is to commence on
the 12th."

FICIAL TEE I'll, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
rerfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from
the original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or
decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
This method does not require the extraction of meta, or any painful
operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth

AUSTRIA.

Le Nord, reporting the reduction to a peace foot-
ing of the Austrian advanced army corps opposed
to Russia, namely, that of Gallicia, claims the fact
as a proof of the confidence of the Austrian Govern-
ment in that of Russia, and exhibits it as an answer
to those who boast of the alliance between Austria
and the Western Powers. It is a corroboration,
according to the journal quoted, of a significant
passage in the King of Prussia's recent speech, and
a repudiation of any part or lot in the aggressive
policy of France and England.

MILITIA.

The following changes took place .n the Fifeshire Re-

proceeded from head-quarters, Cupar, to Dumbarton
Castle, to relieve those under Captains Knox and Han-
nay ; the latter being ordered to Leith Fort. Captain

The gOuth Cork Light Infantry Militia. have arrived
in Dublin, there to be stationed for the present. The
London, England, 1855-12-11

of the empire has been devoted to the supplies of
the Crimean army, and the Russian General no
doubt calculates on the concentration of such a
force in the Crimea next spring as will enable him
to meet the allies in every point which they may
assail, knowing that Perekop is unassailable by a
large force, owing to the want of water, and to its
geographical position, and that no army can ope-
rate in the rear of his position in consequence of
the nature of the country.
It is not because St. Vladimir was converted in
the Crimea that Prince Gortschakoff holds Mac-
kenzie's Farm and the plateau of the Belbek and
Tchernaya. But he knows that until he is dis-
lodged the allies are paralysed, and that they can
establish no safe basis of operations against Nico-
laieff or Cherson while he is at Simpheropol, for it
would be contrary to common sense to leave such
an army in their rear and flank. He hopes, there-
fore, either to be able to hold the Crimea next
campaign, or to be able to make such dispositions
in the event of a great defeat as will insure the safe
retreat of his army by Perekop and Tchongar, and
perhaps by a third road, of the existence of which
across the Sivash there are very strong indications.
The electric telegraph has kindly aided him in es-
tablishing himself all the more securely, for the ru-
mour of a Russian attack, to which it gave official
weight prevented the occupation of Kaffa and the
destruction of Arabat this autumn ; and who can
say how the country behind Theodosia (Kaffa) will
be seamed with batteries should we try a descent
next spring ? Talk of the harm done by newspaper
correspondents compared with that which has been
done by the electric telegraph! Thefirst expedition
to Kertch, the despatch of the Highlanders to Eu-
patoria, and the expedition to the Kaffa were all
prevented by our electric batteries at London and
Paris, and it is very questionable if they did not
do the allies more harm than the Russian guns.
The French were, indeed, adverse to the KaffA
movement, and Admiral Bruat was, it appears,
more especially opposed to it • but there is no rea-
son to doubt that it would have been successful,
and the occupation of that place and the destruc-

DUBLIN, Monday.—At the sitting of the Commission
Court this morning, traverser John Hamilton was put
on trial, charged with having torn and burned copies of
the New Testament at the late burning of books at
Kingstown. The traverser was acquitted. The verdict
was received with loud cheers by a crowded court.
The Roman Catholic inhabitants of Kingstown and its
vicinity illuminated their houses very generally on Sa-
turday night to celebrate the triumph of Father Peelle-
rine ; there were also some illuminations in a few of the
streets of Dublin, and the excitement displayed by the
populace on the occasion appears to exceed any felt by
them since the memorable period of the State trials.

LONDON, TUESD kY, DECEMBER 11, 1855.

It is neither our wish nor our intention to cen-
sure the Commanders of the Allied Forces by laud
or sea for any of the shortcomings which we, in
Common with the peoples of France and England,
must greatly deplore. Whenever the opportunity
has been afforded they have nobly discharged
their duties, fully maintaining the characters of
their respective countries, and defeating the Rus-
sians iu every action and place in which the op-
posing troops had been brought into contact.
But although we thus render justice to the
Generals and Admirals who have been frequently
most unfairly attacked, we cannot refrain from
adverting to the deplorable inactivity, or " false
trateP.37," that has characterised our movements
since the glorious Bth of September. There hale
been frequent demonstrations, but no decided action
—nothing to inflict a heavy blow against tho enemy.
We have been contented with taking Kinbourn as a
hint that they Should fortify Nicolaieff and Kher-
son, so as to he fully prepared for any movement
which we may decide on when the retirement of
"General Frost " may render such operations
passible.
We have earnestly directed their atten-
tion to Kaffa and Arabat, to Perekop and the
Sivash, as points to which attention should be
especially directed, and where great effects
might
be produced ! But in vain ! Nothing has been
done, and the enemy will therefore be enabled to
avail themselves of the extraordinary opportuni-
ties for bringing copious supplies, both of men
anq food, of the "personnel" and '' in of
v‘ar, through the portals which we have so unac-
countably left open for their advantage. We
must consequently " fight our battles o'er again.''
We do not doubt the result, or that it will be
'even more disastrous to Russia than what has
already been accomplished. But we fear " the ne-
gotiations." We dread the effect that may be
produced during the coming " palaver," when
Russia may still take credit to herself for resources
Which would not have been in existence if the
Allies had followed up their advantages to tho
legitimate result.

The great evil seems to Le tlia we have bee= 1

THE CHARGE OF DROWNING AT
CHELSEA.

Yesterday Sarah Allen was finally examined at the
Westminster Police court, charged with throwing her
children into the Thames at Chelsea. _ _

-- -
The case was completed by the testimony of James
Coates, a boat-builder and lighterman, at Chelsea, who
gave evidence of the state of the embankment, and set of
the tide. His statement in relation to the circumstance
of one of the children floating under the bridge of the
Cadogan pier went to show that there was a wall for
some yards below that and these posts and chains ; but
that if anybody had fallen in there from the embankment
it was extremely improbable that it would get to the
bridge, as it was eddy water nine or ten feet out. It
was, however, not impossible, and struggling would make
a difference. if a floating body were dropped over the
wall, or from the pier itself, it would immediately get
into the set of the tide. Witness could not say whether
the pier gates were fastened when the children were
found in the water.

In reply to Mr. Newbon, prisoner's solicitor, witness
said there was a shelving bank inside the post and chains,
and there might be a wide gap between them and the
end of the wall through which persons could pass.
The whole of tho voluminous evidence baying been read
over, the prisoner was committed to Newgate for trial.
