THE INDEMNITY TO BE PAID BY
BUSSIA.

A letter from a well-informed quarter in Paris con•
tains the following :—" One of the greatest difficulties
in negotiations for peace will probably be the pecuniary
indemnity to be paid by Russia; for on this point the
people of France and England, who have paid the ex.
peruses of the war, must be listened to by their Govern-
ments. Russia, however, is bound to pay, for she has
caused the war, and we do not see how her Government
can dispute the right or plead inability of execution. If
the Emperor of Russia can make his subjects pay for
the maintenance of his present army, and the 900,000
men whom he pretends he can add to it, those subjects
being in the meantime deprived of the means of repair-
ing their losses by agriculture and commerce, he can
make them pay for peace, and they would no doubt, in
this case, pay much more cheerfully."

FRENCH. REINFORCEMENTS.

Detachments from the 24th, 29th, 33d, 34th, 38th,
and 51st regiments of the line arrived yesterday in
Paris. After having remained a few hours at the bar-
racks of Bonilla they left in the evening for Lyons.'
Detachments of the 41st and 48th regiments of the line
also passed through for the same destination. Detach-
ments from the 44th, 53d, and 55th regiments of the
line will arrive to-day, and leave in the evening for
the south. They are all under orders for Aix and
Avignon, whence they are to proceed to the army o
the East.
We read in the Nouvelliste de Rouen :
"A. detachment of 320 Fusiliers from the 48th of the
Line, destined for the 6th Regiment, serving in the East,
will leave Rouen to-day, Dec. 4, en route for Aix. 80
men (40 Grenadiers and 40 of the Light Companies) are
required from each regiment of the Imperial Guard."
The Journal de Toulouse announces that the two war
battalions of the 49th of the Line had received their
marching orders ; the 2d was to leave Toulouse on the
sth of December, and the let battalion and staff the day
after. They are to march to Nimes, and wait there for
further orders.
We read in the Sentinelle Toulonnaise, of the 30th
ultimo
"The 2d detachment of the 4th Company of the wag-
gon train, with four guns, and 230 men of the 10th
Light Infantry, embarked yesterday in the Andromaque,
about to sail for the Black Sea. The transports Chande-

INSTANT RELIEF FOR THE WOUNDED

We stated, the other day, that a simple plan
had been suggested for the immediate relief of the
wounded by Mr. Roger, her Majesty's army con-
tractor, whereas the credit of the plan was exclu-
sively due to Dr. Cosine Logie, surgeon, of the
Royal Horse Guards—a gentleman who has kindly
favoured us with a sight of the invention, which
is at once ingenious and simple. It is this
Each coat to contain a large piece of lint, a quantity
of thread on a card for ligatures, four yards of unbleached
linen bandage, enclosed in oil silk, tied up with tope,
and placed in a long pocket extending from nape of the
neck to the loins, down the hollow of the back.

In addition to this, Dr. Logie has prepared a pouch
for carrying instruments, which every medical man
would do well to have.

CAPTAIN CAFFIN AND THE SPHYNX.--A contemporary,
in speaking of the appointment of Captain 11. Austin,
C. 8., to the Victualling Yard at Deptford, said that he
was the officer who saved her Majesty's ship Sphynx
from the rocks at the back of the Isle of Wight in 1848.
This is a mistake. Tho Sphynx was saved mainly by
the suggestions and plans of Captain J. Crawford Caffin,
who commanded the Scourge at the time.

SHIPPING _RETURNS.

The shipping returns of the Board of Trade for the
month ending the sth of November have been issued,
and indicate no falling off in the employment of British
vessels, the diminution observable being still in those
of foreign countries, whence at the corresponding period
of last year large arrivals of grain were taking place.
For the future, however, this feature is likely to be
altered, since considerable consignments of wheat must
now be on their way from many quarters. Under
these circumstances, looking at the number of Bri-
tish vessels removed from trade by the exigencies of
the war, and the degree in which its success depends
upon them, it would be well if those who, year after
year, resisted the policy of the statesmen by whom the
repeal of the navigation laws was effected would con-
template the position we might be in if we were limited
exclusively to our own supply. Already throughout
the demand for breadstuffs of late years, as well as in
the shipping requirements consequent upon the Austra-
lian gold discoveries, we have seen incalculable results
from the free system ; but, at the present moment, in
the midst of war, and with a necessity for new impor-
tations of grain, its advantages are likely to become still
more prominent. Subjoined are the general totals of
entries and clearances, of ali classes of vessels, for No-
vember:—
Entered inward :

For the 10 months just ende 1 the aggregate of entries
and clearances shows an increase of 41 per cent, over the
totals for the same period of last year.
With regard to the coasting trade, the returns show
that the tonnage entered inward was 1,004,977 in the
month ending Nov. 5, 1852 ; 865,865 in 1853 ; and
in the present return it is 852,270, including 32 forei,m
vessels, of an aggregate burden of 6,263 tens. The
clearances outward were 1,053.583 in November, 1852 ;
1,032,719 in 1853 ; and 1,036,255 (including 3,653 tons
of foreign) in 1854.

THE UNITED STATES.

LIVERPOOL, Wednesday. This morning, at
eight a.m., the United States mail steam-ship
Atlantic, Captain West, which was to leave New
York on the 25th ult., arrived off Great Orme's
Head. She is expected to arrive in the river
about twelve at noon, with the mails and four days
later intelligence from the United States.

SAILING SHIPS FOR TROOPS TO MR
BLACK SEA.

St. George, 120, Captain Eyres, C. 8., was paid at
Devonport four months' wages on account, and will sail
perhaps to-day for Queenstown, to embark with 660
troops and 100 tons of stores for the Black Sea. This
ship has been in the Baltic this summer. She has not
carried troops, but the Royal William, 120, Captain
Kingcoine, also at Plymouth, has been fitted, and has
conveyed troops to the Baltic this year. The policy or
prudence of sending a sailing three-decker ship with
troops to the Black Sea at this season of the year may
fairly be questioned, when it is seen that even screw
steam-ships are not safe in the Euxine.

THE HUTS FOR THE FRENCH TROOPS.

'1 We kave spoken," says the Pattie, "of some small
wooden houses which bad been put up in the reserved
galleries of the Tuileries. They were models which the
Emperor had ordered to be brought there in order to
examine which appeared best suited as regarded shelter
and solidity. One of the models was chosen for our
troops in the Crimea ; and we learn that on the propo-
sition of the Minister of War, a contract has been en-
tered into, and which will be executed with such promp-
titude that between this and the end of the month a
sufficient number to shelter all our army, both men and
horses, will be constructed and sent to the Crimea."

THE LATE STORM-THE PRINCE AND
HIMALA YA.

The underwriter at Lloyd's, and the marine assurance
offices appear to have bad a very fortunate escape in
connection with the destructive storm of the 13th ult.
in the Black Sea. They had granted a time policy on
the large steam-ship Prince, the value of which was very
great,.but it seems to have expired four days prior to
the loss of her, and Government having become the
purchasers of the vessel for public account had, as is
usually the case, become their own underwriters. The
time policy, applicable to the Hhaalaya, will not, we
understand, expire until after the close o; the year. The
loss the underwriters and offices will sustain by the
wreck of so many transports cannot fail to be heavy,
but, for the present, Government do not pretend to be
able to satisfy them as to the extent of it.
London, England, 1854-12-06

THE RUSSIANS AND THEIR DEAF•

A letter from the French camp before Sebastopol,
dated the 18th, alludes as follows to the siege As to
the siege, the military operations are going regularly
The men are working, observing, turning the earth, an
waiting for a favourable occasion to strike the grand
blow. Reinforcements are arriving every day. The
health of the troops is good, and their spirits high. TM
Russians have left us quiet since the sth. Can you he'
lieve that yesterday, having taken at our advance.posto
a Russian assistant-surgeon, we learned from him tbL
they abandoned, on the other side of the Chernaya, their
dead without burial and their wounded without noi
ance. This person declares that he found on this heldf
of horror some wounded men still living on pieces °
biscuit which they had about them."

London, England, 1854-12-06

LIVERPOOL—DEc. 5.

There was a pretty good attendance this morning. The
trade was without activity, and may be called much the
same as on Friday, when new wheat declined 2d to 3d per
bushel, and new flour is to 2s per sack. Foreign wheat
and flour were very firmly held for late prices. Oats and.
oatmeal each a trifle cheaper. Barley and beans unchanged
in value. Indian corn was offered on rather easier terms.

IPSWICH—DEc. 5.

The supply of wheat is evidently again considerably
fallen off—the condition too is worse ; hence a decline Of
2e per qr. must be written. Barley is in large supply; the
quality of the greater bulk of it, however, was very secon-
dary and ordinary. There appeared a ready sale at a re-
duction of 2s and 3s per qr. on last week's prices. Wo emv

chases of old wheat are again made at full prices. Spring

THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE.

VIENNA, MONDAY EVENING.
The following will probably be found correct :
" The convention concluded on Saturday was a
triple alliance. The last article in the Anglo-
French treaty of alliance was that the other Euro-
pean Powers should be at liberty to accede to it,
and Austria has now done so. The sense of the

treaty probably is :
"1. That Austria has engaged to consider

every violation of the Turkish territory by Rus-
sia as equivalent to a declaration of war against

herself.

" 2. That Austria will reinforce her army in
the Principalities, so that Omer Pacha may at
once begin operations, the Imperial troops re-
maining as a kind of reserve.

" 3. At the demand of the Western Powers
Austria will place 15,000 or 25,000 men at
Varna, which, in case of need, can be sent to the

lITATKINS'S DIRECTORY.-BLUNDERS.
Gratis, or • forwarded per post on receipt of one penny
stamp, a Review, in eight pages imperial octavo, showing a large
number of absurd and ludicrous blunders, which have appeared in
every edition of Watkins's Directory, as fonows :-
1. In the edition for 1852, published in December, 1851. 4
2. The same blunders REPRINTED into the edition for 1853.
3. The identical blunders again reprints I in the edition fer 1854.
4. The same once more reprinted into March edition for 1854.
b. And finally, the same again reprinted into tile edition for NEXT
TEAL

In the " Review' we predicted that no full and precise explanation
w-uld be attempted, and the result has proved the accuracy of the
prediction : instead of an open and direct answer in print, the pro-
jector has forwarded written statements to individuals complaining
of our "incessant" attacks upon his book, but omitting to state that
the staple of each of these consists of an exposure of stale, old re-
printed blunders, each time a different catalogue from that appa-
rently inexhaustible blunder-mine—Watkins's Direct° y.
The Subscribers to the book are respectfully requested to peruse
our last Review, and then to require a full and precise published ex-
planation of blunderinz such as we believe never to have been
paralleled in any book purporting to be a " Directory." .

INSTANT BELIEF FOR THE WOUNDED

We stated, the other day, that a simple plan
had been suggested for the immediate relief of the
wounded by Mr. Roger, her Majesty's army con-
tractor, whereas the credit of the plan was exclu-
sively duo to Dr. 0031120 Logie, surgeon, of the
Royal Horse Guards—a gentleman who has kindly
favoured us with a sight of the invention, whicl:
is at once ingenious and simple. It is this :
Each coat to contain a large pieca of lint, a quantity
of thread on a card for ligatures, four yards of unbleached
linen bciatlage, enclo,:ed in oil silk, tied up with tape,
and paced in a long pcket extending from nape of the
neck to the loins, down the hollow of the back.

In addition to this, Dr. Logie has prepared a pouch
for cirrying instruments, which every medical man
would do wolf to have.

CAPTAIN CAFFIN AND THE SPEIYNX.--A contemporary,
in speaking of the appointment of Captain H. Austin,
C. 8., to the Victualling Yard at Deptford, said that he
was the officer who saved her. Majesty's ship Sphynx
from the rocks at the back of the Isle of Wight in 1848.
This is a mistake. The Sphynx was saved mainly by
the suggestions and plans of Captain J. Crawford Caffin,
who commanded the Scourge at the time.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

The Court was occupied during a part of Monday
afternoon, and the whole of Tuesday, with an action on
a policy of insurance against fire, in which the defence
was fraud and arson. We abstain from printing a re-
port until the case shall have been concluded.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

TOMLIN V. THE GENERAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY

Mr. Atherton, Q.C., and Mr. Hawkins appeared for
the plaintiff ; Mr. Knowles, Q.C., Mr. H. Hill, Q.O ,
and Mr. Wilkin, for the defendant.
This was a running down case, the plaintiff being the
owner of a barge called the Duke, and the defendants of
the screw steamer Clarence. The evidence was of the
most contradictory description, and
The jury, after retiring to consult, returned a verdict
for the plaintiff, damages 481. Bs. 10d.

INSOLVENT DTBTORS COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Murphy.)
IN BS THOMAS BULLINARIA.

This was the day appointed fur the hearing of the
insolvent, who had been admitted to bail on the 22d
ult.

The insolvent's attorney, on the case being called,
appeared with his sureties, and produced a medical cer-
tificate, showing that the unfortunate man had on the
previous day committed suicide.
Mr. Commissioner Murphy—Poor creature ; what was
it for ? His debts are only 3311. 63., and there is no-
thing in the schedule that could occasion a remand.
The attorney said the insolvent's wife was confined
on Thursday, and he had thought he had ruined his
family, and said that everything bad gone wrong.
His Honour said all he could do was to exonerate
the bail.

Order accordingly.
IN RE THOS. GEO. CONINGIIIII.
This WM a rule to restrain the provisional assignee
in some Chancery proceedings.
Mr. Tyrrell (of the Chancery bar) and Mr. Sargood
supported the rule ; Mr. Nichols and Mr. Dowse were
for the provisional assignee.
After a long argument,
Mr. Commissioner Murphy said if the matter was net
settled he should discharge the rule, and, if ho had
power, give the provisional assignee his costs.

SOUTH TIPPBRART.—The recruiting staff of the Tip-
perary militia arrived in the town of Tipperary on Wed-
nesday last, and were somewhat successful in the enrol-
ment of volunteers. The class of wen that there pre-
sented th"mselves for attestation were generally far
better than previculdy came forward, and were it not
that an erroneous impression had been widely circulated
through the town to the effect that militiamen upon en-
listment would be drafted on foreign service a far
greater number of young men would, we are sure, have
flocked to the standard. Ensign Pennefather, son of
Mr. William Pennefather, J.P., of Lakefield, in this

TO THE ELECTORS of the BOROUGH of
M A RYLEBONE.

MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,

Immediately on the arrival of intelligence of the decease of our
much-lamented Representative, Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart, I was
urged by several Electors to come forward as a Candidate for the
vacant seat ; and have continued to receive communications to the
same effect, with unsolicited offers of votes and influence.
Had the ground been occupied by a Candidate whose rank, -politi-
cal principles, position, and local associations with the Borough had
secured for him the general support of the Electors. and afforded a
prospect of an unopposed return, I should have declined to disturb so
desirable a state of harmony. But up to the present time no such
immediate prospect exists. The names of several noblemen and
gentlemen have been suggested, but no unity of purpose is observable
even among those Electors who advocate the same principles.
I therefore think it right, in deference to the gentlemen who have
honoured me with their confidence, to comply with their request,
and state briefly the principles upon which I am prepared to stand,
provided the same should appear to be generally acceptable to the
Electors.
Having resided for many years in the Borough, during which
time I have been actively engaged in parochial duties, my principles
as a supporter of Local Self-Government, in opposition to Centralisa-
tion, are well known.
Being, like a majority of the Electors, engaged in business, I am
identified with their interests. I have been and am in favour of
Free Trade, and will support the repeal of the unjust restrictions im-
posed last session upon the public in the purchase of necessary re-
freshments.
I am an advocate of Civil and Religious Liberty: Household and
Educational Suffrage ; the extension and imnrovement of education
among all classes ; and a reform of the laws relating to elections, in-
cluding the protection of Voters by the Ballot.
Relieving that my principles accord with those of the large liberal
majority in the Borough, I shall feel honoured by the support of the
Electors, but I am too sincere in the cause of Reform to press myself
forward. if in the course of the contest a decided preponderance of
opinion should be shown by my own party in favour of a Candidate
who may better servo our common cause. . _

I beg to express my acknowledgments to those whose repeated
solicitations have induced me to take a step which I should not have
taken without such sanction.
I have the honour to be,
My Lords and Gentlemen,
Your very obedient Servant.
