The Art Journal.

The best plate of the three hero presented to our
notice is the last one, entitled " The Vintage.,"
It is taken from Stoddart's picture, in the Vernon
Gallery, and is a most graceful and pleasing sub-
ject. The grape gatherers, in the back ground, are
laden with their baskets of purple. treasures, and a
child is sporting in the most prominent part with
some who have concluded their labours. The other
two engravings are " Raising the May Pole," and
" Hylas and the Nymphs." The first is an amusing
sketch of country people enjoying themselves on.
May Day. -There is the usual amount of informa-
tion to be met with as regards artistic subjects in
the contents of this journal, together with several
minor illustrations.

The Journal of Psychological Medicine, and Men-
tal Pathology. Edited by Forbes Winslow,
M.D., D.C.L., President of the Royal Medical
Society of London.

There is a long article on the subject of Mr.
Hill's work on crime, called " The Hygeine of
Crime." A favourable opinion is given of it on the
whole after epitomising the contents, although on one
or two points, as for instance, the separate system
of confinement in prisons, a difference of argument
is maintained by the reviewer to the writer. In
conclusion, it is observed that " the deep investi-
gation, accurate observation, and practical com-
ments of Mr. Hill, are most valuable. We express
our firm belief that he has laid the foundation for
a very great amount of improvement in the con-
struction of the criminal code." An interesting
paper is that in which mention is made of a work
lately published—The Pilgrimage of Thought.
It is remarked that the " possession of knowledge
does not necessarily imply the power of com-
municating it," but in the present case the
author enjoys this special gift to a high de-
gree. The work is written in a graceful
and fluent style, although it treats of what
Carlyle calls " the misty 'sea of metaphysics."
There are some extracts taken from the book called
" The Perils of Genius," which contain matters
worthy of attention :—" The halcyons of intellect
often point to real aberration, if the perils of pre-
cocity be not arrested. There are many who are
marked as the martyrs of thought in youth, like
William Pitt and Dudley, who, indeed, were
never children. Genius, like beauty, is often a
fatal gift ; thought not only begins to grow, but
bursts into bloom while the organism ia, as it were,
still in the bud. By this forcing of the germ, the
sensorial ganglion is exhausted of its energy, and
the thought that was once a bright and rational
thing, becomes a chaos or a blank." The
Letsonzian Lectures, delivered before the Medical
Society of London, by Forbes Winslow, M.D., are
to appear in the numbers of this journal. The
first is given this month, entitled, "The Psycholo-
gical Vocation of the Physician." The lecturer
enters into the many duties of the physician, in a
moral and theological view, as well as in a medical
one, and concludes by reminding his professional
brethren of their great responsibility.

tols and poniards in their possession, besides am-
munition, and a quantity of revolutionary papers,
including original correspondence between Kossuth
and Mazzini, and incendiary proclamations. He
immediately arrested the strangers, who turned
out to be G. Meyer, a painter, from Zurich ; Ma-
rino, a student, from Paduaa ; Fontan, a music-

A violent shock of earthquake was experienced
at Castelnuovo di Cattaro on the 13th ult. It was

WAKEFIELD-JAN. 6.

Tho weather preventing the millers westward from re•
moving their purchases, causes our market to bo of a some-
what broken character, and factors demand from 4s to 5e
per qr. more money for new wheat, and 38 to 4s for old,
which, on the business done, has been generally paid.

THE FRENCH ARTILLERY AT ALIrA

A report received at Bourges speaks as follows
of the 2d battery of the 12th Rigiment of Artillery
at the battle of the Alma :

" Gen. Bosquet, passing several times near this bat-
tery during the battle, was so struck with the conduct
of the men composing it, that he cried out more than
once, 'Bravo, artillerymen Lieut. Pelet, seeing one of
the men who was employed in loading a piece killed by
a cannon-ball from the enemy, alighted from his hone
and took hie place. A mar6chal de-logis, who had his
cloak carried over his shoulder and tied at the waist,
had it carried away by a cannon-ball and at the same
time part of the belt of his cartridge box. The shock
knocked him down, but he was able immediately after to
rise and continue his work. Another mau also had his
canvas-bag carried away in a similar manner. This
battery had two men killed and nine wounded, one
having his leg carried away. In consequence of the
gallant conduct of the 2d battery, Capt. Robinot has
I been proposed for chef-d'escadron, and Lieut. Petit for
Captain. Two mar6chaux-de-logis, named Cocu and
Coignard, have been proposed for the cross, and trio
brigadiers and a private for the military medal. Twelve
horses were killed, and much injury done by the enemy's
fire to several of the gun carriages and other effects."

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Oct. 18.—It is affirmed in diplomatic
circles that a most important and material change
has come over the disposition of the German Courts
in regard to Prussia, and this even among the
leaders • of the Bamberg coalition. Hanover,
it is stated, has avowed its intention of sup-
porting Austria. Hesse Darmstadt, who carries
Nassau with her, has done the same. The
Hanse towns will follow the same bias, and it
appears that M. von der Pforten has addressed a
letter to M. de Beust, in which he states that, how-
ever repugnant it may be to Bavaria to act adversely
towards Prussia, it is not consistent with her in-
terests to separate herself from Austria, her ancient
ally and neighbour. It is not improbable,
therefore, that Saxony may adopt the con-
clusions of Bavaria, and that if this be the cage
Prussia runs every chance of finding herself as
isolated as regards Austria and Germany as
she does in regard to France and England. A
few of the leading points of the Russian reply of
the 13th to the Austrian note of the 30th were
forwarded last night. A more detailed analysis
shall be transmitted by next post. All that can
be said, meantime, of the new Prussian document,
islthat it is diffuse to a maximum of verbiage ; that
it avoids replying to some points, and seeks to evade
others ; and that it endeavours to meet the pithy
and straightforward Austrian document by laboured
efforts to drown the main questions at issue in a
sea of words leading to no practical conclusions.
The new note betrays in each long-winded phrase
the embarrassment of the Cabinet, and yet it offers
no prospect of any vigorous effort being made to
relieve itself flora this false and unpopular position.
Count Esierhazy has proceeded to Vienna for
two or three days, nominally on private business,
but more probably to communicate verbally with
Count Buol upon the state of relations between the
two Governments.

LONDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1854,

Still further news from the Crimea. For each
of three successive days we have been enabled to
announce the arrival of accounts for which the
public mind was yearning. In a late edition on
Wednesday evening, within a few minutes after
the publication of the Supplement to the London
Gazette, we gave to the community the list of the
killed and wounded at the fearful contest on the
Alma, and were thus enabled to convey comfort

to many an anxious heart. In this respect we
redeemed the promise to our friends and
the community in general, that the earliest
notice of these important particulars should
be found in the columns of The San. One
more pledge remains to be redeemed, and we
earnestly hope that ere many days it may be our
pleasing duty to announce that what at present
can only be termed the " coming" capture of
Sebastopol, may be a fait accompli, and that the
Russian Arsenal, with the stores and fleet that
rendered the AT3TOCRAT so formidable to his
neighbours, may either be in the hands of the
Allies, or totally destroyed. We have fervent
hope that, notwithstanding there have hitherto been
unanticipated delays, everything will proceed with
the utmost rapidity, and that it will be proved
beyond the 'possibility of doubt that Sebastopol
has no greater claim to invincibility than Bomar-
sund had.
On Wednesday, however, we only received ad-
vices from Balaklava of the 3d, and Constanti-
nople of the sth instant. The following day
arrived the Pharamond, bringing intelligence from
Constantinople of the 10th, and Balakla.va, of the
Bth inst. No previous despatch had even hinted
at the tidings therein contained. Various con-
flicting rumours that had previously been circu-
lating Were thereby set at rest ; the public
anxiety was thereby greatly appeased. In con-
sideration of the progress made and the
certainty that adequate measures had been adopted
to prevent the possibility of any interruption to
the siege works, the people were :ontented to
acquiesce in the delays that had previously taken
place, to be satisfied at matters being " slow,"
because they were also proved to be " sure."
Yesterday another arrival at Marseilles. The
City of London transport-ship brought advices
from Constantinople of the 13th (!) and Bala-
and amongst others certaiu
klava, of the 10th,
despatches from Lord RAGLAN-the first received
since those which appeared in our Extraordinary
Edition of the Bth instant, and which Con-
tained the exceedingly graphic and interesting
description of the glorious victory on the Alma.
These will, of course, cs,ntaiu the best and most
accurate accounts of all the events that had pre-
viously taken place, and also the views and inten-
tions of the commanders of the Allied Troops.
They, therefore, will be- looked for with intense
anxiety by the community at large.
The news received by these various channels
may be briefly summed up. As we stated yes-
terday, there had been "a. sortie " by the be-
sieged, for the purpose of destroying or damaging
the siege works then in course of construction.

TURKEY,

CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 10.—The latest news
that has reached this place from Sebastopol is of
the 7th, and is not of special importance. The
great attack was not to take place until the 9th.
Every hour the mail steamer from the Crimea is
expected to arrive, and may perhaps bring accounts
of the result of the first great bombardment.
On Saturday, the Trent, Orinoco, Albatross, and
Cambria arrived here from the Crimea. They are
to take up 10,000 Turkish and 5,000 French
troops—the latter from Gallipoli. 3,000 French
are also to be sent from Greece. 15,000 Turkish
infantry have been detached from Omer Paella's
army, and have arrived at Varna, where they will
be immediately embarked, together with a fe
thousand Tunisian troops for the Crimea. The
Russians are expecting strong reinforcements from
the armies of Generals Osten-Sacken and Liiders,
who are already said to have arrived at the Dnieper.
The garrisons of Anapa and the other forts to the
extreme north of Circassia are also marching to-
wards the Crimea. The Allies seemed, however,
according to the last accounts, to care very little
about the advance of reinforcements. They were
going slowly but surely to work, and felt certain
of success.

'BRITISH RAILWAY ENTERPRISE IN

DENMARK.

Mr. Peto, M.P., and a number of railway celebrities
leave Lowestoft this (Saturday) morning, on board the
North of Europe Steam Navigation Company's fine ves-
sel, Cyprus, to open, on Wednesday next, the impor-
tant line of railway, just completed, connecting the
Baltic and the Black Sea, namely, the first section
of the Royal Danish, or King Frederick the Seventh's
South Sleswig Railway, from Terming to Flensburg,
via Hunsurn to Rendsburg, forming the junction with
the Kiel and Altona and other railways. The works
have been prosecuted with such ♦igour by
Messrs. Peto, Betts, and Brassey, the contractors, that
the whole line :js i❑ a condition to be opened for general
traffic much earlier than was anticipated. Considering
our present relations with Russia, the completion of an
undertaking like this, so greatly facilitating as it does
our intercourse with Northern Europe, and rendering
communication prompt aid easy with the Baltic ports,
irrespective of temperature of the weather, is a matter of
no little political significence, as well as of commercial
and social interest. The inauguration will take place
with impressive pomp and ceremony, the King of Den-
mark being expected to be present, together with several
members of the Royal family, the Ministry, and leading
functionaries in all departments of the State ; while the
representatives of English skill and capital will also
muster in large numbers.
