mand for the best was spirited, and most of the animals
were sold. The number of sheep was large, with but little
demand. Fat pigs a limited supply, in good request. The
supply of calves was more plentiful.

ARCHDEACON IVILBERFORCE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STYX.

Six,—Archdeacon Wilberforce has resigned his pre-
ferments in the Church of England, and has since been
received into the Romish Communion. It is an incon-
trovertible fact, that he has held doctrines thoroughly
repugnant to the teaching of the Established Church
long prior to his resignation, such as the real presence
in the Eucharist, the denial of the Queen's supremacy in
spiritual matters, &c., &c. Why, I ask, should there
not have been a commission issued before to inquire into
the soundness of the Archdeacon's doctrines ? How is
it that the leader of the Tractarian clique, Dr. Pusey, is
allowed to exercise his sacred functions in the Church,
and with impunity be permitted to instil into the minds
of the Oxford students the most unscriptural and Popish
dogmas ? Such men are traitors to the Church, and
whilst sewing the seed of discord within, are scattering
the fruits of evil without,—l am, sir, your obedient
servant,

ton and Camden-town, in the county of Middlesex, Esquire, who died
in or about the month of September, 1841, are, by their Solicitors,
on or before the Bth day of December, 1854, to come in and prove
their Debts, at the Chambers of the Master of the Rolls, No. 14,
Chancery-lane, Middlesex ; or in default thereof, they will be
peremptorily excluded from the benefit of the said Decree.

adjudicating upon the Claims.
Dated this 9th day of November, 1854.

THE TYRANNY OF CIISTOM.—Enough and
to boast has been written of late against the degrading custom
of men shaving the hair from their faces. Every argument, medi-
cal, moral, arid social, has been exhausted to prove that nature's
gifts are ever wise and beneficent, and not to be thus perversely
rejected ; In fact, all right-minded men have long since felt the ab-
surdity of shaving, but dare not beard the tyrant custom singly.
The time has now come for a general and combined movement
against the use of the razor. Already 2,000 sensible fellows—includ-
ing men of all classes—have pledged themselves on a certain day, to
wit, on the 12th of this present November, to shave no more ; and
from that day forth their well known faces In the streets of London
will be seen gradually darkening to the umbrageous fulness of a
manly beard. Let ail who are, or would seem men, follow their
example. Remember the 12th!

GENERAL CANROBERT'S _DESPATCH.

We extract the following from a letter received from
Paris this morning is true that General Can-
robert's late despatches are not very encouraging ;
they are, perhaps, too discouraging ; but it re-
quires very little to produce an effect on the tem-
per of a people who are so apt to run from one
extreme to the other. Brave before the cannon's
mouth, or on the barricades, your Parisian is
the greatest moral coward to be found any-
where. He was elated with joy when the news of
the taking of Sebastopol (the Tartar's story) spread
like lightning all over Europe : and, now, because
of a delay which, taking all things into consideration,
is by no means extraordinary, he is beaten out of all life
and spirit. At this moment there is no story, however
terrible, which it may please any one to set abroad that
would not find hundreds of men, otherwise rational, to
give credit to. I believe the aforesaid Tartar had some-
thing to do with the matter, as, but for the over expen-
diture of joy when his enormous imposture was first
current, we should not now witness the despondency
which it will require some signal advantage to diminish
or remove.
Some surprise has been expressed at General Can-
robert writing despatches described as unneces-
sarily discouraging, but it is alleged that the General is
far different from the generality of his countrymen. His
character is serious, his temperament cold, his judgment
slow but exact, and he is devoid of enthusiasm or of
passion. He talks of things as they are, and when he
has not the certitude of realizing an object he never
encourages hope.
But whatever be the ground for the feeling I allude
to, and which has become general, it is certain that a
degree of disquietude is visible in official quarters. A
considerable movement is observable in various branches
of the War Department, and it is said that bodies of
troops continue to be moved to the south for embarca-
tion.
Private letters from superior officers of the army of
the Crimea have been received this morning ; and they
speak of the chance between the Allies and the enemy
having become so nearly balanced, that it is hazardous
to give an opinion.
It is very generally credited that an anticipated levy,
amounting to not less than 140,000 men, will be called
out early next year.
London, England, 1854-11-10

LUXURY OF A TENT.

This certainly is a most curious life, and men little
know what they can go through till they have tried. We
are new living in comparative luxury, for we have, part
of our tents—a great change, I can tell you, after being
for 18 nights sleeping in the open air. We have to
thank Providence for almost unheard-of favourable wea-
ther, although the dew at night is very heavy ; still we
have had no rain since we have been here. We have
also in our little mess of six a capital cook, and, manag-
ing to make interest with the stewards of some of the
ships we get on in the kitchen department pretty well.

FORAGING EXPEDITIONS.
The people in harbour are the most unconscionable
set of beings in existence, and charge exactly what
they like, but that is of little consequence. You
would be rather amused if you could sometimes see
one or two of us on a foraging expedition. The
other day I was down with another fellow, and got
scent of some onions (famous in soup with the
rations). Searching for them, I missed him and the
pony with the panniers, so you might have seen me
going through the place in uniform, carrying ropes of
onions over my shoulders. But that is nothing, as every
one has to look out for himself, and when a forager
arrives at home there is the greatest anxiety to discover
what he has got. What a haul we should make if we
could get half an hour in an English pantry ! I fear it
will be long before we get accustomed to a tablecloth or
sit properly on a chair. The grass is now our table-
clothm and chair. We chat and laugh away our
thankful that we are all safe, and hopeful for the future.

ROYAL ENGINEERS.

The command of the Royal engineering department at
Sheerness has been conferred upon Major J. St. George
Ord, late serving as Major of Brigade to Brigadier-General
Harry D. Jones at Bomarsund, for his gallant conduct at

stood that•the Sheerness command will now be a separate
command from the Medway district, so far as the Royal
:Engineeedepartment is concerned.

LIFE IN THE TRENCHES.

Since I wrote last we have literally slaved in the
trenches, and, had it not been for the hope of almost
every day commencing operations, many, I am sure,
must have given in. For myself, I have been in the
trenches or on outlying picket five nights out of the last
eight ; but I thank God I never was better in my life.
I assure you that our work for the last ten days has been
anything but a trifle. Of course all the time we were at
work in the trenches, either day or night, the enemy
amused themselves throwing shot and shell to keep us
lively. I think our fellows have become indifferent to them,
but grapeshot I defy any one to receive with satisfaction.
Our regiment (the 2Oth) has been most fortunate—only 1
officer as yet wounded. Other regiments have caught it
more. Poor Rowley, of the Grenadier Guards, was yes-
terday killed while lying, I believe, asleep. A round shot
hit him in the back, and of course it was all over.
There is one valley we have had to go up and down to
the works which is entirely covered with heavy shot
and splints of shells. Yesterday the Russians kept up
a tremendous cannonade for half an hour, in the hope,
I think, of finding out our line of fire ; but, as we were
not ready, not a shot was returned. This morning we
have let them know it to their cost. We have at work
about 60 siege guns (four of them Lancaster's), and I
think the French have about the same number. As the
Russian batteries are very powerful, you may imagine
the row that is going on.
London, England, 1854-11-10

berg, but the general impression among those best
informed is that the Prussian Foreign Minister has
been apprised from St. Petersburg that the docu--
ment may be expected to arrive without delay. It
is further asserted that the reply will not be of
a positively negative character, but rather of
such a nature as is calculated to embarrass
Austria, and, if possible, furnish her with a fair
pretext for proposing renewed negotiations. Nor
is anything known as to the result of M. Von
der Pfordten's mission to Vienna. No reply, at all
events, has been received from the Austrian Cabi-
net, although grounds exist for believing that
Count Buol has expressly declared that, come what
may, Austria will not tie herself down to any con-
ditions or engagements, but hold to that course
which she may deem most beneficial to her own
interests.

The last Russian.loan, of which a portion was
negotiated at this place, is quoted in the regularly
published Stock list of this afternoon, as having
been done at 89. This item appears in the printed
lists under the head of "Newest Russian Loan."
Count de Goltz left Berlin on the 4th for his
post as Prussian ambassador at Athens. It is
said that he is charged expressly with the task
of doing all he can to maintain a good accord be-
tween the Western Powers and the Greek Govern-
ment.

The
_Mentz Journal of the sth says :—" By supe-
rior orders, all disposable horses aro to be brought
on the 21st inst. to the military authorities, who
will purchase and pay ready money for them. It
is not known whether this measure is preparatory
to putting the Prussian army on a war footing."

SMITHFIELD.
The supply of beasts hero today was but moderate, and
in Very inferior condition. Most breeds moved off steadily
at full prices. We were scantily supplied with sheep, in
which a fair business was transacted, at extreme rates. The
best old Downs were worth 5s per 8 lbs. Calves—the
supply of which was rather limited—were brisk, and 2d
per 8 lbs dearer. The top figure was 5s per 8 lbs. The
pork trade was firm, at full currencies.
Mulch cows were dull, at from 141. to 191. each, including
their small calf.

LIPBANDTS HEAD-QUARTERS.

According to a letter in the Augsburg Journal,
Liprandi has had his head-quarters at Mackenzie's farm
ever since the 22d, and his extreme left rests on Tchor-
gun, and this consists of the Asow 23d and Dnieper 24th
line, and the Ukrain 23d and Odessa 24th light regiments
(that is, the whole of his own, the 12th division, 4th
corps), with twelve pulks (probably a mistake for sotnias)
of Cossacks.
" The three attacks of Liprandi," continues the letter,
" were not directe(l against the troops engaged in the siege,
but against the English troops in position upon the
flanks of the Chernaya valley, iu order to drive them
out of the river territory which supplies the besieging
troops with water. After three conflicts favourable for
the Russians, Liprandi did, in fact, succeed on the 25th
in getting possession of the water conduit-tunnel near
Karlespapus, and in taking up a fixed position on the
Tchirkaia hill. This is undoubtedly a great advantage
which the Russians have gained over the Allies in that
circle. Meanwhile, I hear that General Canrobert has
advanced with all the forces at his disposal to drive the
Russians out of that position."

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Nov. 7.—The only intelligence which
has reached Berlin this day, via St. Petersburg
and Warsaw, from the Crimea, is the short report
from Prince Menschikoff, of the Ist, wherein he
states that " nothing extraordinary" had occurred
before Sebastopol or 13alaklava up to the Ist inst.
It was not known up to a late hour whether the
AugiaLt zeply 13.4 d, km received );.y 13Areii do Bud!
_

berg, but the general impression among those best
informed is that the Prussian Foreign Minister has
been apprised from St. Petersburg that the docu-
ment may be expected to arrive without delay. It
is further asserted that the reply will not be of
a positively negative character, but rather of
such a nature as is calculated to embarrass
Austria, and, if possible, furnish her with a fair
pretext for proposing renewed negotiations. Nor
is anything known as to the result of M. Von
der Pfordteia's mission to Vienna. No reply, at all
events, has been received from the Austrian Cabi-
net, although grounds exist for believing that
Count Buol has expressly declared that, come what
may, Austria will not tie
,herself down to any con-
ditions or engagements, but hold to that course
:which she may deem most beneficial to her own
interests.
The last Russian loan, of which a portion was
negotiated at this place, is quoted in the regularly
published Stock list of this afternoon, as having
been done at 89. This item appears in the printed
lists under the head of "Newest Russian Loan."
Count de Goltz left Berlin on the 4th for his
post as Prussian ambassador at Athens. It is
said that he is charged expressly with the task
of doing all he can to maintain a good accord be-
tween the Western Powers and the Greek Govern-
ment.
The Mentz Journal of the sth says :—" By supe-
rior orders, all disposable horses are to be brought
on the 21st inst. to the military authorities, who
will purchase and pay ready money for them. It
is not known whether this measure is preparatory
to putting the Prussian army on a war footing."
London, England, 1854-11-10

THE BLACK SEA.

A letter from Odessa, of, the 28th ult., written
by a peculiarly trustworthy person, informs us that
the 11th division of the army corps, commanded
by General Popoff, and the sth light cavalry divi-
sion, commanded by General Lanskoi, commenced
their march for the Crimea from Bessarabia only
on the 23d ult., and cannot therefore possibly reach
Bakchi•Serai before the 20th or 22d of the present
month.

General Osten-Sacken, with the whole of the 3d
army corps, has taken up his head-quarters at
Zsitomir. The reports which we have recently
read, that he is at Odessa, were absolutely false.
This Odessa letter aiso informs us that the 4th
corps, now marching from Bessarabia to the
Crimea, will be replaced by the 2d infantry corps,
66,000 strong, under the command of General
Paniutine, now on its march from Poland to Bess-
arabia. '

BIM COURT.

(Sittings in Rmco, before Mr. Justice Crompton.)
W. E. HUSKINSON AND OTHERS v. GIINENWOOD AND

ANOTHER.

Mr. Cleasby moved in this case for a rule calling on
one William Huskinson and Charles Sharp to show cause
why they should not pay to the plaintiffs the sum of
811. 55., their taxed costs in this action, they being, in
fact, the real defendants in the suit.
It appeared by the affidavits, that this was an action
of ejectment to recover possession of two cottages, and
the action had been brought against two labouring moo
who were in the posses.sion of the cottages. The
real defendants, however, were the parties against
whom the present rule was prayed. The plaintiffs
had recovered in the action, and their costs taxed
and demanded of William Huskinson and Sharp ;
but they refused to pay, on the ground that they had
not made themselves defendants in the action. This, it
was submitted, made no difference, if they were in fact
the real defendants in the suit. Nov, it was clear that
they were so, for the defendants on the record swore
that they did not defend the action ; and the clerk to
the attorney defending the action swore that he defended
for the parties against whom the present application was
made.

Mr. Justice Crompton—ls there any authority for
such an application as this I
Mr. Cleasby—Yes ; the case of Doe on the demise of
Masters ♦. Gray, in the 10th Barnewell and Cresswell'd
reports, is precisely in point, and shows that in cases of
ejectment the Court has power to make the real party
to the suit pay costs, although he is not a party on the
record.
Mr. Justice Crompton granted a rule nisi.

INCIDENTS OF THE SIEGE.

The following are interesting extracts from pri-
vate letters from the camp :

THE LATE HON. COLONEL HOOD.

"I hope," writes an officer of the Grenadier Guards,
"ere long to be able to give you some good news to
counterbalance the great loss we have experienced.
Colonel Hood, who went on duty this morning, com-
manding the Guards in the trenches, was killed by a
round shot while moving from a battery along the trench,
which in that part was not above two feet high. I can-
not tell you how much he is regretted by us all. He
had led us to victory at the Alma, and I am quite certain
there was not a man, officer or soldier, who had not the
most perfect confidence in him ; for on that occasion he
had shown the greatest coolness imaginable under fire,
which he communicated to every man under his com-
mand, and which contributed so much to the gallant
conduct of the regiment in that action. His loss has
cast a gloom over us all."
London, England, 1854-11-10

"VIE FOUR POINTS."

The following correspondence from Vienna, of sth
inst., appears in the Br eslaur Z eitung :
"As to the result pf his (Herr von der Pfordten's)
exertions here, it would be too sanguine to suppose that
he has brought about a perfect understanding between
the two Powers. In this latter respect the auto-
graph letter of the King of Prussia to the Empe-
ror Franz Joseph, which was delivered by Graf Arnim
on the 3d instant, has probably been of the greatest in-
fluence. The King is understood to have again, and in
the most explicit terms, expressed his determination to
go hand in hand with Austria in the matter of the
guarantees, and is ready to undertake to throw the
whole weight of Prussia and of those States that
go with her in the Eastern question into the Austrian
scale ; that not only any attack on Austrian troops,
whether within or without the Austrian frontier shall
be regarded as attack on Germany, but that also
Germany and Prussia shall undertake to support Aus-
tria even in the contingency that she should assume the
offensive—provided Austria will bind herself not to go
beyond the four points in her demands on Russia, and
employ all her influence with the Western powers, to
prevail on them not to exceed them. Persons here pro-
fess to know that Russia is now no longer indisposed to
negotiate for peace on the basis of the four points."

LETTERS FOR T
HEHEBALTIC. BRITISH FLEET IN
T

GENERAL PosT-caTimg, November, 1854.--The main
body of the British fleet in the Baltic being now at
Kiel Bay, the letters addressed to officers, seamen, &c.,
serving in that fleet, will in future be forwarded daily
(Sundays excepted) by the route of Ostend to Hamburg,
whence they will be sent on to Kiel.
The weekly communication via Dantzic has ceased.
All letters upon which the requisite amount of post-
age has been pre-paid, will be sent via Hamburg, unless
otherwise addressed.
Upon officers' letters the following combined British
and foreign rates of postage must be paid in advance :

viz.,--
Not exceeding ?ioz. in weight, 10d.
Excceeding ioz. and not exceeding loz., le. Bd.
Exceeding 1 oz. and not exceeding 2ozs., 3s. 4d.
And so on, according to the scale for charging inland
letters.
Ordinary seamen's and soldiers' letters, posted in con-
formity with the usual regulations, may be forwarded via
Hamburg, provided a combined British and foreign rate
of postage of 7d. be paid on them in advance.
Newspapers cannot be sent by this route.
Letters for seamen serving in the British fleet in the
Baltic may still be forwarded under the usual regula-
tions, for a postage by her Majesty's ships pro-
ceeding from England, but such opportunities will
neceogarily be uncertain.

THE GUIDES AND TILE PATRIOTIC FUND.

We have great pleasure in publishing the following
letters, as in the highest degree honourable to our late
visitors, flattering to the English people, and gratifying
as a testimony to the cordial alliance which now subsists
between the two countries. It is hardly necessary to
explain that the director.s of the Crystal Palace proposed
to recompense the band of the Guides for their services
on the occasion of the late military fete at Sydenham, a
proposition which has elicited from Captain Verdiore A
reply, cf which the following is a translation :
" Morley's Hotel, Nov. G.
"My dear sir,—l have considered that as the band of
the Guides came here solely for an act of benevolence, and
was sent especially for that purpose by his Majesty the
Emperor, it ought to prefer not receiving any remunera-
tion. The pleasure of having contributed its share towards
tho relief of the members of a nation, an ally, and plunged
in misfortune by the consequences of a war is common, is
in itself recompense enough.
" I therefore thank you, in the name of those I com-
mand, and in my own, for the hospitality you have ac-
corded us during our sojourn in London. I also thankyon
for the cordial reception we mot with, both from you and'
from the English nation, and I beg of you that, if a stun
was destined for our band, you gill pay it into the Pa-
triotic Fund, which cannot be too much increased. .
" I beg of you, my dear sir, to be the interpreter of these
sentiments to the committee, and to receive the assurance
of my most distinguished consideration.
" Captain of the staff commandin% the detachment of
14 E. D. VxamEnE.
the Guides at London,
" To Mr. Grove, Secretary of the Crystal Palace."
