THE MILITIA.

The most perfect success attends the enrolment of the
Kerry Militia. Recruits are flocking in in large num-
bers, and those attested present an appearance worthy of
the old character of the corps. During the last week a
large number of volunteers have passed muster, and
from the spirit manifested by the people the Kerry Re-
giment will probably be one of the first in Ireland fit for
active service. The Tipperary Militia have been also
successful in procuring eligible recruits, a large batch of
volunteers having been attested in Clonmel on Saturday
last.
The Oxfordshire Militia is ordered to assemble at the
in Oxford, on Wednesday, the 6th of De-
Cce°inubntir,-bllwahen the regiment will be embodied for service.

EMBODIMENT OF THE SHROPSHIRE
following official communication from the Home-office
was, on Saturday last, received by the Right Hon.
Viscount Hill, Lord-Lieutenant of Salop :
" Whitehall, Nov. 17, 1854.

"My Lord,—In the absence of Viscount Palmerston,
I have the honour to inform your lordship that a war-
rant will be forthwith laid before the Queen for her
Majesty's signature, to empower your lordship to draw
out and embody the Shropshire Regiment of Miiitia.—
I have the honour to be, my lord, your lordship's obe
dient servant,

H. WADDINGTON.

"The Viscount Hill."
It will be recollected that at the last training the corps
volunteered to put itself at the service of her Majesty in
the present emergency, so that there is no doubt that it

to the colonels of militia regiments. It
says :—." The rapid augmentation of the regular army
being at this moment of urgent importance, it has became
necessary to call upon all embodied as well as disembodied
militia regiments to give as many volunteers as possible to
the regiments of Guards and line, and to the Royal Mario.

EGYPT.

A letter from Alexandria of the 12th, in the
Moniteur, says :—" The Viceroy left this morning
for Cairo at the head of two battalions of infantry
and some batteries of artillery. His Highness,
who continues to turn his attention very much to
the reorganisation of the army, wished to take ad-
vantage of this opportunity to exercise the troops.
Looking less to numbers than to efficiency, Said
Pacha has considerably reduced the effective
strength fixed by the preceding Government. Be-
fore his departure, the Viceroy sent back to their
homes a great number of old soldiers, whom Abbas
Pacha had kept on duty beyond the regular period.
These are so many hands restored to agriculture,
and that certainly is the most desirable economy
that the new Government could effect. A second
detachment of troops has left for Constantinople on
board a Turkish steam-frigate. The steamers,
which are to convey the remainder of the division
of Menekli Pacha to the theatre of war, are daily
expected."

NEW COURT.

(Before the Common Sergeant.)
Sarah, Smith, otherwise Jane Hart, was indicted for
concealing the birth of her child.
Mr. Lilley prosecuted, and Mr. Sleigh defenied.
It appeared that the prisoner had lived in the service of
a lady named Butler, of Cla,verton-terrace, Pimlico, from
the 22d July until the time of the present occurrence.
After she hail been some few weeks in that lady's service
she vas taxed with being pregnant, but upon that and
two other occasions denied that she was so ; but at the
end of September she admitted the fact to Mrs. Bider,
and said that she meant to go to a married sister's
house, at Finchley, and there be confined. She said
that she could safely stay with her (Mrs. Butler) until
the end of November, and that lady agreed that she
should remain for some time. Upon-Friday the 13th of
October the prisoner did her work as usual ; but about 12
o'clock that night she came to her mistress, and said that
she had fallen down against the scullery steps, and hurt
herself, and wished to go away, bat Mrs. Butler ob-
jected, not thinking her safe to be left alone. The
prisoner, however, insisted upon going. Mrs: Butler
then ordered a cab, and said she would accompany
prisoner, who then said she would go to a sister in the
Haymarket, and directed the cabman to go to Panton-
street.. The cabman knocked, and some one who an-
swered the door told prisoner that she could not see her
sister that night, as she had gone to bed. She then told
the cabman to drive to Green-street, where she got out

FRENCH VOLUNTEERS FOR THE
CRIMEA.

BOULOGNE-SUP-MER, Nov. 26.—Last evening the
Generals of Division at the camps of Honvault,
Vimereux, Ambleteuse, and Equihen received by
telegraph orders from Paris to accept volunteers
for the Crimea from every company of every
regiment under their command, to the number
of ten. The officers were called together at 5, and
at 7 the various companies were mustered and
addressed by the captains, who told them that the
Emperor desired to forward more troops to the
East, and that ten volunteers were required from
every company. In five minutes the whale num-
ber stood forward. In some of the companies 30,
in some 40, immediately volunteered, to the cries
of " Vive l'Empereur !" Where so many pre-
sented themselves they drew lots as to who should
be the fortunate men to fight against the Russians.
They leave here by railway on the 30th for Mar-
seilles. They all seem full of spirits to-day, and
there can be no doubt that every man would have
volunteered, excepting those whose time of ser-
vice expires in six or ten mouths, had the request
been made.

MILITARY.

The following sensible and judicious order has been
issued, in a circular memorandum, by the military au-
thorities :

"Horse Guards, 16th Nov., 1854.

" It having been decided, that the articles of neces-
saries specified in the margin [1 shell jacket, 1 shirt, 1
pair socks, 1 towel, 2 brushes, and such articles from
holdall as can be immediately dispensed with], and com-
posing part of the authorised kit of the soldier, are to
be carried on the march in the squad bag, each bag con-
taining 25 of these surplus kits, officers commanding
regiments are directed to forward requisitions to the
adjutant-general for the number of squad bags required
by their respective corps, on the estimate of one squad
bag for every 25 men authorised by their establishment.
These squad bags will be provided and carried on the
march at the public expense. They are expected to last
at least ten years, and it is clearly to be understood they
are to be kept in repair at the expense of the regiment
to which they are issued.
" The regimental quarter-master will have charge of
these squad bags, and will serve them out to each com-
pany according to its effective strength, at the rate of
one for every 25.
" Officers commanding regiments will cause periodical
inspections to be made of the squad bags, and any da-
mage done to them, beyond fair wear and tear, must be
made good by the squad to which the bag belongs.
" By command. G. A. WETHERALL,
The undernamed officers at Chatham garrison have
leave of absence :--94th Regiment, Captain Maclean, to
' Jan. 31 • Captain F. R. Grantham, 45th, to May 24 ;
Captain W. C. Master, sth Fusiliers, to Jan. 22 ; Major
Henry Brewster, 76th, to Jan. 7 ; Assistant Surgeon A.

Sergeant Joseph O'Brien, 18th Royal Irish, was tried
on Saturday by a district court-martial, and convicted,
for being drunk when on duty, as orderly sergeant to the
garrison field officer of the day. Captain Jervis, the
commandant of the provisional battalion, was president.
Lieut.-Colonel J. J. Hollis, 25th (King's Own Bor-
derers,) has obtained leave of absence until the arrival
of the regiment in England 'from India.
LIEUT.-GENERAL R. WHISH.—WO regret to have to
record in our obituary the death of General Which, at
Clifton, on the 10th inst. The general was connected
with this town, having married a daughter of the late
James Burnes, Esq,, by whom he leaves a numerous
family, the eldest of whom is an officer in the Bombay
artillery. General Whish had seen much service in India,
and was a brother of General Sir W. Whish, C. 8., who
commanded the army at the capture of the city of Mool-
tan.---Montrose Standard.

The Quebec Chronicle of the 11th inst. says :—" Her
Majesty's troop-ship Resistance, Commander M. Brad-
shaw, having on board the 16th Regiment, from Jamaica,
to relieve the 26th, in this garrison, who are under orders
for Bermuda, arrived yesterday. The 16th will disem-
bark to-day."
London, England, 1854-11-28

THE FRENCH REINFORCEMENTS.

" It is not sixty men per regiment, but ono hundred
and sixty," says the Constitutionnel, " who have been
called on to reinforce the army before Sebastopol."

At Nantes the order to receive the names of volun-
teers arrived on Friday, and it gave rise to a striking .
demonstration :—" The first two battalions of the 9th
Light Infantry caused themselves to be inscribed en
Inasse," says tke Union _Eretonne, " and the choice will
be difficult amongst so many brave soldiers, animated
with the same sentiment and the same ardour. The
men who have served morn than six months, and those

who have at least a year more to serve, are alone to be
taken."

At 110110 t the enthusiasm was equally great :—" The
Communication that men were required," says the Jour-
nal of that city, " was received with enthusiasm by the
garrison. I❑ a few minutes the war battalions of the
48th and 51st supplied their contingent of 240 men•
Unanimous regret was felt at the number of volunteers
called onto share the success of our arms in the East
not being greater, and it was with sorrow that a number
of brave soldiers learned that they must resign them-
selves to waiting for their turn of marching against the
enensy."

The volunteering from the regiments of the garrison
of Paris took place on Saturday. The number of volun-
teers was so great that the selection had to take place by
lot. The soldiers on whom the lot fell were delighted
and cried " Vivo l'Emperear." Those who wero not so
lucky were greatly disappointed. The soldiers selected
are to leave Paris in three days.
General Larchey, commander of the artillery of the
4th Military Division, has been appointed to the func-
tions of military commandant at Constantinople.

suffered severe damage.

" The siege works were suspended, aid the
bombardment, which had been gradually slacken-
ing, had almost entirely ceased on the 18th."

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 18.

Several vessels have been lost, and others
severely damaged, in the storm of the 14th. The
Prince, transport, was lost.
The Duke of Cambridge was daily expected at
Constantinople.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

- -- - - -
The Wanderer of Vienna of the 23d says :—" A
letter from Bucharest, 15th, states that the troops
which were in that town marched towards the
Pruth on the 12th, under the command of Ismail
Paella. The Turks in all the garrisons have had
rejoicings for the victory of the sth."
" Letters from Jassy, 17th, states that Omer
Pacha centines his movement towards the Pruth
and his troops will have taken up their positions
in about a fortnight. Achmet Pacha has his head-
quarters in the village of Prevain, on the Sereth ;
his advanced posts were on the Pruth in sight of
Rein. The Russian flotilla of the Danube is at Is-
mail. The Turkish flotilla has concentrated itself
at Ibrail and will probably support the movement
of Omer Pacha. Contradictory accounts have been
received from the Russian Camp. According to
some, great preparations are being made to prevent
the passage of the Danube and the Pruth, while
others on the Cohttary state that there is no idea
of a concentration of Russian troops on the Pruth.
Travellers say that Bessarabia is almost clear of
troops, the majority of them having proceeded into
the Crimea. It is confirmed that an engagement
took place between the Turks and Russians on the
28th ult., near 14atschin„

TURKEY.

CONSTANTIXOPLE, Nov. 13.—T0-day it is fine
overhead, the wind has abated, and the wounded
are being conveyed to hospital from the transports
which arrived the day before yesterday.
Nearly 13,000 men have been added to the allied
army within 10 days. The French receive 400 or
500 men by every mail-steamer, and their total ad-
dition to their forces during the present month
cannot be short of 10,000 men. The British have
received the 46th and 62d regiments, which, with
drafts from various depots, make a total of 2,800
men. The Queen of the South is expected daily
with 1,200 more, including about 200 of the Guards.
But if the campaign is to last through the winter,
a supply like this must not be occasional, but con-
stant. We occupy the post of honour, every attack
is directed against us, our line of communications
is most extended, and may be every day attacked.
It is not too much to say that to keep up the
British army to even its present diminished stan-
dard of 16,000 or 17,000 men, we require constant
reinforcements to the extent of two full regiments
every week.
Miss Nightingale and her nurses are going on
wonderfully well, and the benevolent subscription
raised by the British public is being applied with
the best effect.

EXPORTS.

Cotton Wool.—The increased activity which pre-
vailed in this staple at the date of our last wan but of
temporary duration, and the market has since relapsed
into its former dull state, the amount of purchases re-
ported not exceeding 2,000 bales in the fortnight, and
prices are consequently lower ; but fresh supplies
arriving, coupled with the unfavourable accounts of the
home market, brought by the mail which arrived yester-
day, will doubtless tend to a further reduction is price.
Sheep's Wool.—An increased business is doing among
native merchants in this article, and we have to raise
our quotations, at which the market is very firm.
Opium.—The accounts from China by the last steamer
were again favourable for Malwa, which has kept our
market pretty buoyant, giving prices a further impetus,
Indere being at Its. 930, Mundleseir Rs. 942 per chest,
and of the new drug " passes" have been taken out up
to the 25th inst., for about 1,000 chests.
Tonnage.—Owing to the few arrivals since last mail
freights are gradually assuming an upward tendency.
There is little tonnage at present disengaged in the har-
hour. Present quotations to London and Liverpool are
17s. Gd. to 4/. To China no cargo offering.

vanced, a fair supply of China Bills having been received

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

ISir,—I believe it is universally admitted that a re-
volver is a terrible arm in the hand of a cool and deter-
mined man, and for close quarters far surpasses anything
ever invented. This being a fact, I ask, Why does not
Government arm our cavalry with revolvers ? It is a
very awkward and long joh to load firearms on horse-
back, and quite out of the question in an action, so that
when a man has fired his carbine or pistols, all he has
to tryst to is his sword. I have seen several excellent
revolvers, most of which can be cocked as well as fired
with the trigger, so that a man may fire off his six shots
one after another, only using one hand. Now, in the
late charge of heavy and light cavalry, suppose every
man had been provided with two revolvers ; if they had
reserved their shot for close quarters they might have
made the most dreadful havoc with the enemy. Nobody
who has had any experience of this sort of thing will
deny this.

Now, the only reason I can see why these weapons
should not be universally introduced into the army is the
expense. But I have read in your paper that it costs
1001. to get a foot soldier out to the seat of war. I
should think the outside price of a good revolver for
the army might be 41. What proportion, then, does
8/. bear to the general expense of a soldier or the value
of a life 4 I leave those whom it may concern to see if
there is reason in what I say.—l am, sir, your husable
servant, K.

THE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL.

PARIS, TUESDAY MORNING.

The Moniteur says that on the 13th, the date
of the latest adrices from the Crimea, the siege

operations were still advancing.
The weather had become bad, but the health
of the troops was good, and their spirit admirable.

Reinforcements continued to arrive, and the
vanguard of General Mayran's division, 1,800
strong, had disembarked on the 13th.

The Russian losses on the sth aro confirmed at

15,000. The Allies buried 5,000 of the enemy (?;

on the field of battle.

Nothing of great importance beyond these facts

7rom Sebastopol.

We have received the following from our co*

respondent at Berlin :--

" BERLIN, MONDAY.

C Advices from Warsaw of the 26th announce
that Prince Menschikoff, writing on the 19th, re-
ports that there had been constant storms since
the 14th, and that the Allied fleets had suffered
more than was at first supposed.

" The total number of vessels of war and trans-
ports wrecked amounted to about 25, besides
which some vessels of war were observed to have

THE FRENCH REINFORCEMENTS.

" It is not sixty men per regiment, but one hundred
and sixty," says the Constitutionnel, " who have been
called on to reinforce the army before Sebastopol."

At Nantes the order to receive the names of 'mina-

teas arrived on Friday and it gave rise to a striking
demonstration :—" The first two battalions of the 9th
Light Infantry caused themselves to be inscribed en
masse," says the Union Bretonne, " and the choice will
be difficult amongst so many brave soldiers, animated
with the same sentiment and the same ardour. The
mdn who have served more than six months, and those
who have at least a year more to serve, are alone to be
taken,"

At Rouen the enthusiasm was equally great :—" The
communication that men were required," says the Jour-
nal of that city, " was received with enthusiasm by the
garrison. In a few minutes the war battalions of the
48th and 51st supplied their contingent of 240 men•
Unanimous regret was felt at the number of volunteers
called on to share the success of our arms in the East
net being greater, and it was with sorrow that a number
of brave soldiers learned that they must resign them-
selves to waiting for their turn of marching against the
enemy."

The volunteering from the regiments of the garrison
of Paris took place on Saturday. The number of volun-
teers was so great that the selection had to take place by
lot. The soldiers on whom the lot fell were delighted
and cried " Vive l'Empereir." Those who were not se
lucky were greatly disappointed. The soldiers selected
are to leave Paris in three days.
General Larohey, commander of the artillery of the
4th Military Division, has been appointed to the fano-
tiens ef military commandant at Constantinople.

REPORT ON THE STATE OF THE BOMBAY

MARKETS.

The Overland Mail of the 25th September arrived
yesterday morning, per Hon. Company's steamer Auck-
land, having been twelve days. in transit from Aden.
We regret we cannot report any improvement in our
import market, the Dews,ilea holidays having, as was to
be expected, very much interfered with business.
Holders have been anxious to realise ; and this will ac-
count for the low prices on the transactions quoted be-
low. The rains have entirely ceased, but their pro-
tracted sonticuance has interfered with the communica-
tion with up-country marts.
Little or no alteration has taken place in the money
market since the date of our last report. Exchange to-
wards the close of the mail took an upward tendency,
and may be quoted ls. Hid. to is. Hid.
' Four per Cent. Government paper has given way
slightly, and may now be quoted 97A to 95.

MAURICE TIERNAY, THE SOLDIER OF
FORTUNE.

By the Author of " Sir Jasper Carew," &c.,
..* This work by one of the most popular serial writers of the
present day Is now first published in a collected form.
" The strangeness of some of the incidents, and the rapidity with
which events so remarkable succeeded each other, almost deterred
the writer from ever committing them to the press."—" That the
ehlef events related in these pages—such, for instance, as every
detail of the Fiench invasion, the capture of Wolf Tone, and the
attack on Monte di Faccio —are rigidly exact, the writer is most
sincere in the expression of his conviction."— Author's Preface.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sir,—At the outbreak of hostilities a friend well
♦ersed in public affairs estimated the oost of the war at
3,000,000/.—in reply, I set it down at 300,000,0001.
Which approximates to the truth ? I answer this will
depend upon the way in which the war is carried on. If
moderate action be adopted the larger estimate will pro-
bably be exceeded. If energetic action, then we may
hope the cost of the war will be less. We have hitherto
acted on the moderate principle. The' result is known.
Now, moderation in a case of exigency is synonymous
with ruin.

Shall we confirms to act as we have begun ? God
forbid.

Let the nation put forth all its strength, and put forth
all that strength at once. Let it realise the life and
death struggle in which it is engaged, and rise to the
great occasion.

To our undying honour, we exhausted all honourably
pacific means before committing ourselves to the conflict.
Let our courage and daring be equal to oar former for.
bearance. I advocate the conquest of the Crimea and
the eapture of every Russian soldier there.
This may be done ; but it is a question of time ; it is a
race, and he who is first at the goal wins. Let the
whole strength of the nation be put forth without a day's
delay. Let everything be forgotten but the immediate
conquest of the Crimea. We can send supplies to the
Crimea more expeditiously and easily than the Autocrat.
He has stolen a march on us, and we have been misled
by our own confidence. Let us pour in myriads of men
as fast as our magnificent means of transport can carry
them. Let there be an army at Perekop and another
at Eupatoria ; let our forces be doubled at Balaklava.
All this is possible, and if achieved before Russia can
send reinforcements we shall have conquered the
Crimea and every Russian soldier there ; not one shall
get out of the trap. Let the French camp on the
North as well as on the South ; let our garrisons—
every man that can be spared—militia regiments, and
all who will volunteer for the service, start at once
for the Crimea. Let all measures be adopted for
hastening them to their destination. Let our merchant
service volunteer or be pressed to carry troops and sup-
plies on their way. Let vessels which cannot go to
Malta go to Marseilles. Let there be various stations
on the way to the Crimea—Marseilles, ?Malta, and Con-
stantinople—whence may be brought up whatever is re-
quired.
The first Napoleon leaped over the Alps ; let us with
equal ease step across the seas. Let the English and
the French, as they have undertaken the work, do it for
themselves without looking for other allies. Do it they
can. Neither millions of money nor myriads of men will
be wanting. "Impossible" is the adjective of fools or
cowards.

Frenchmen ! Englishmen ! the blood of your slain
countrymen calls for action. The heroes of the Orimea
beckon you onwards.—l remain, air,

THE COMMAND IN CHIEF IN THE MEDI-
TERRANEAN AND BLACK SEA.

We feel that it is perfectly unnecessary at the moment
to state more than to announce that the usual period
allotted to admirals holding foreign command has expired
in the case of Admiral Dundas, and that he will return to
this country in his flag-ship, the Britannia, accompanied
by the Vengeance, 84, Captain Lord Edward Russell, and
the Bellerophon, 78, Captain Lord George Paulet ; these
ships having been relieved by the powerful screw-line-of-
battle-ships Algiers, 90, Captain Talbot, and Hannibal,
90, Captain the Hon. F. W. Grey.
Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, as a matter of
course, becomes commander-in-chief, vice Dundas, and
we sincerely trust that he will Fantle that high,
dignified, impartial, and even-handed course in the man-
agement of the fleet which has characterised Admiral
Dundas's term of service, and that the fleet will be kept
up in that same degree of efficiency to which his now
gallant chief has brought it by the hardest cruising an
admiral has had for many years past. It will be re-
membered that Sir Edmund Lyons was a candidate for
the chief command of this fleet before Admiral Dundas
was appointed. Having served so many years in a dip-
lomatic capacity in the Mediterranean, the gallant offi-
cer's highest ambition has ever beet to hold the chief
post in his awn profession in the East.
The Royal Albert will, as we stated in our impres-
sion of yesterday, be the flag-ship of Sir Edmund
Lyons, and Captain Sir Thomas Pasley, )3art., now in
command of this noble three-decker, will hoist his pen-
dant (broad) on board the Agamemnon. Rear-Admiral
Stopford, the captain of the Black Sea fleet, will, in all
probability, continue to hold his present position ; always
supposing that the " maintopinan of the Agamemnon,"
and other supporters,of the Coalition Cabinet of similar
rating, have given him a certificate of character.--Korn-

department of the Isere.

THE GALE IN THE BLACK SEA.
The Moniteur gives the following account of an
event from which the Russians have been trying to
extract comfort :
One of those terrible and unforeseen hurricanes,
not altogether unusual at the present season, burst
over the Black Sea on the 14th inst. The Allied
squadrons encountered it with their usual expert-
ness, intrepidity, and resource. A few vessels re-
ceived damage, easily repairable on the spot ; but
the Henry IV. and the steam despatch boat Pluton
were stranded. The crews of both were saved.
The great care of the Emperor had provided
against eventualities of this description, and in
order to fill up any voids that might bomade for the
moment in the French squadron two new ships of the
line, the Turenne and the Donawerth, had been
some time beforehand sent from Touloi. These
ships left this. harbour on the Gth inst., reached
Constantinople after a quick passage of nine days,
laden with troops, provisions, and ammunition of
every kind.
Several English and French merchant transports
were thrown on the coast during the hurricane of
the 14th, which fortunately did not extend beyond
the Black Sea. Consequently the numerous men-
of-war and merchantmen, some of them sailing
ships, and others steamers, that were at die time
in the Mediterranean and the Archipelago on their
way to the army of the East with reinforcements
and provisions, are making the voyage under very
favourable conditions, pamiug rapidly from (o

station to the other. Others are preparing to fol-
low them, among which there are two fine new
steamers, the Prince Jerome and the Fleurus.
Each mounts 100 guns, and is of 650-horse powet ;
they are to replace two old sailing, slips, and they
will leave in a week,

LATEST NEWS.

THE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL.

PARIS, TUESDAY MORNING.

The Moniteur says that ou the 13th, the date
of the latest adTices from the Crimea, the siege

operations were still advancing.
The weather had become bad, but the health

of the troops was good, and their spirit admirable.
Reinforcements continued to arrive, and the
vanguard of General Mayran's division, 1,800
strong, had disembarked on the 13th.

The Russian losses on the sth are confirmed at

15,000. The Allie 3 buried 5,000 of the enemy (?

ox the field of battle.

Nothing of great importance beyond these facts

from Sebastopol.

We have received the following from our co 4

respondent at Berlin

" BERLIN, MONDAY.
