LONDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1854,

In the intervals between the receipt of au-
thentic intelligence from the seat of war various
rumours have been circulated through the doubt-
ful medium of the Vienna telegraph, or still more
suspicious despatches from St. Petersburg. Some

of these have been what the old romance writers
were accustomed to designate as " founded on
facts ;" that is to say, a small modicum of truth
combined with an immense body of exaggeration,
the embellishments being added with the most
profuse liberality. Others, however, may be
considered pure and unmitigated fiction, without
anything to relieve the utter mendacity of the
unblushing falsehoods. The non-official commu-
nications from Vienna may be regarded as speci-
mens of the former class—those from St. Peters-
burg, via Berlin, of the latter. The former may
he partially true, coloured to suit the wishes of
the patties whoe give it temporary circulation.
The latter is almost invariably untrue in every
respect, ab initio, being merely based on the
stories concocted for the purpose of deluding
the vulgar Muscovites into the notion that
the troops of the CZAR are carrying all before
them, and defeatiHg in every quarter the French

and English barbarians who have had the hardi-
hood to dispute the will of their Imperial Master.
The former, then, should be strictly scrutinised
before any degree of credence whatsoever be
yieted thereto. The latter should be imme-
diately rejected as unworthy of the smallest par-
ticle of belief.
Two statements have just been circulated,
strongly iilrstrative, and to which, with the autho-
rity on welch they rested, we gave insertion in
our im-pression of yesterday. One from Vienna
• stated that " the bombardment of Sebastopol had
cor.nmenced on the sth, and that two breaches
'were made in the Quarantine Fort on the 6th."
The other, from St. Petersburg,
that " nothing fresh had was to the effect
t)pol up to the 6th, and tlciacturTPeriancbeefore Sebas-
KOFF still retained his old position
on
ttlNnSoCriltrh-
side." One or the other of these statements
must be decidedly false. They are, in fact, com-
pletely contradictory, and irreconcileable with
each other. We have no difficulty, how-
ever, in rejecting that from the Russian
capital, inasmuch as, independent of the evil
reputation which it has already acquired for
a total disregard of all the obligations of veracity,
its account is in total opposition to others received
on unquestionable testimony. We know that on
the 3d instant " the English were close to Sebas-
topol, which was invested on the south, and that

batteries
_of heavy guns had been constructed."

We know that the Allies were fully prepared to
,open the attack, which it was generally believed
,i.;,,yrould be commenced on the following morning.
`Either of the accounts from Vienna respecting
the bombardment on the 4th or sth may be true.
We should consider the former the most probable.
/tithe latter is not very much out of the way

stated that "the bombardment of Sebastopol had

The other, from St. Petersburg' was to the effect
that " nothing fresh had occurred before Sebas-

KOFF still retained his old position on the north
side." One or the other of these statements

swelling out her dimensions by territories chiefly
gained as a mercenary dowry, and all retained by
cruelty and cunning, —of what noble and
national action can she be capable ? Surely,
however, Lord ABERDEEN himself can never
be such a craven lover of peace as to per-
mit a worse than sleeping partner to have
a voice in that question. With Hapsburg cun-
ning Austria would not agree to evacuate the
Turkish territories on the simple demand of the
Porte, but "by a separate convention." There
was deep villany and roguery in that arrange-
ment. It resembles the celebrated clause by which
a. former Hapsburg plunged Germany into the
thirty years' war. If, however, the Allies are but
faithful to their work, if Russia do not cower too
soon, and if they reduce her to her proper Mus-
covite dimensions, then no doubt Austria will be
as well behaved as possible, and walk out of the
provinces with as little trouble as she walked in.
If not, the " separate convention" will be a pre-
text for keeping for years the territory she occu-
pied, without the expending a dollar, or losing a
soldier. Nothing is too cowardly or too cunning
I for this selfish power.

THE ALAND ISLANDS.

A private letter from the Gulf of Bothnia, dated
the 5 th, gives the following particulars
" Some days after the departure of the Ajax, which
vessel bad remained at Bomarsund to try some experi-
ments with her guns at long range, and before her return
to England, where she has since arrived, a Russian colo-
nel of gendarmerie, by the Emperor's orders, arrived in
the Aland Islands with an escort of 50 men. His mis-
sion was to examine closely the state of affairs, and send
a report to St. Petersburg. He landed at the extre-
mity of the great island, and advanced as far as Finby,
here the French were encamped. Having arrested the
Finnish merchants, suspected of having supplied the
allied troops with provisions, the inhabitants of the
district, at all times so mild 'and peaceable, collected
in force to the number of 400 or 500, and making
an attack on the soldiers liberated the prisoners. The re-
port of this transaction having been circulated in the ad-
joining districts, the inhabitants at once took up arms to
expel the Russians, whom they look on as the cause of
all their misfortunes ; but the Colonel made off the
following night to Vie woods with his soldiers, and
contrived to embark in the vessel from which he
had landed. This f:►ct proves that the Alanders are
resolved not to bear any longer the odious tyranny of
the Russians, who cannot at this moment dispose of
a Eli ffi cient force for the military occupation of the
Aland Islands. We are assured that the inhabi-
tants are regularly organised, and that the grand-
son of the celebrated Eric Aren, who, with Pastor
Gummerus, was in 1809 the William Tell of that
country, is about to be appointed Chief Administrator
of the Aland Islands. This person, who resides at Kum-
lingo, where he lives in the most retired manner, is greatly
esteemed. A deputation of inhabitants from the principal
districts is gone, it is said, to make arrangements with
him for that purpose."

MISCELLANEOUS.

The report has been current in Vienna for some
days past that Russian troops are in motion to-
wards the Prussian frontier. The Preussische
Correspondent has been at the trouble of contra-
dicting it, and stating that the whole tract of land
from Crottingen to Kowno is almost without troops.
Men's minds are becoming a little more agitated
than they were, and the press speaks iu a firmer
tone : it is not impossible that with the approach-
ing spring Prussia may give some proof of her
having some blood in her veins.

The latest accounts from Poland speak of the
inordinate accumulation of troops there. This has
reached such a height that ordinary tradespeople
and workmen even have as many as 16 and 18 men
billeted on them : those in a higher position in so-
ciety still more. The liar iships of the population
are hardly to be appreciated, inasmuch as even at
high prices, and with ready money, provisions are
to be attained only with difficulty.
The Neapolitan government has granted permis-
sion to Duke Cirella, a refugee of 1848, to return
to the kingdom.

wheat and flour at id to 3d per 701bs, and is tad per barrel
advance on the prices of Tuesday. Now oats, being in
better supply, and in poor condition, were easier to buy,
but fine old mealers maintained late rates. New oatmeal
6d to 9d per load lower. Barley, beans, and peas nominally
unaltered in value. Indian corn met a slow sale.

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.

WARRINGTON.—The very oldest inhabitant of War-
rington at last gives in, and declares that such excellent
weather and such full crops were never before seen, All
the country for miles round looks like a well-watered
garden. No doubt, we shall have the 41b. loaf at sd.
very soon.— Warrington Guardian.
THE HARVEST IN SCOTLAND.—This district, in com-
mon apparently with the length and breadth of the land,
has been favoured with a week of magnificent harvest
weather, which is rapidly bringing the later crops to
maturity, and has enabled the farmer to cut down a large
breadth of grain; while.on many of the earlier homesteads
lusty stacks are now raising their welcome heads. For 12
clays past the weather has been everything that could be
desired for the country at this important season, and the
height and steadiness of the barometer indicate a conti-
nuance of the warmth and dryness which have at last been
vouchsafed. The present has not been an early harvest,
but should September continue as it has opened, the close
of the autumnal labours will not be behind the average.
The produce of various fields in the neighbourhood of
Dumfries was stacked on Friday, Saturday, and yester-
day, and never was grain secured in better order, not a
single stook having been overthrown or wetted ; while
the breezes which had gently moved every sheaf had,
when proper time was given, brought the ears to the
perfection of dryness. The nights of Tuesday and Wed-
nesday were close and warm, but on the two following
there were sharp frosts and heavy dews, delaying the
harvest work until the sun had been some hours in the
heavens. Saturday and Sunday nights were again mild,
the temperature in town not falling below 57 degrees,
the latter,being very foggy, though there was a heavy
dew in the morning. Turnips have been bulbing well
during the late hot days, and, alike with the pastures
and aftermaths, now most luxuriant, have been refreshed
with the evening dews. There was, especially consider-
ing the rapid approach of harvest, a good attendance at
our market on iVednesday, but little business done in
either cattle or grain, there being always a lull after a
principal show day, and the great fall in Mark•lane on
the previous Monday taking all parties by surprise.—
Dumfries Courier.
EDINBURGH.— The weather, we are happy to say, still
continues highly favourable for harvest operations,
which, accordingly, in the earlier districts, are being
carried on with great vigour. Along the. coast of East
Lothian the work of cutting is rapidly approaching com-
pletion, almost all the winter-sown wheat and barley
having come under the sickle, and only a few fields of
spring-sown wheat remaining to be cut. The drought
of the last few days has also shown itself in the rapidly-
crowding stackyards of the East Lothian farmers, the
work of loading being very far advanced. In the more
favoured districts of this county nearly two-thirds of the
grain has been cut, and a large part of it has been a
ready gathered in.—Courant.

THE LATE CAPTAIN hIANSELL, K.H.

The sudden death of this officer on board the ship St.
Vincent, 101, will be much regretted throughout the ser-
vice. The loss of Captain Zlansell is a public one, for he
was one of the few that linked personal remembrances of
the old war with the experience of modern warfare and
active powers of mind and body to take a prominent posi-
tion in the threatening stirring affairs.
Captain Mansell will bo remembered of late years as. the
second in command of the Powerful, 80, when Sir Charles
Napier was captain of that ship—subsequently he com-
manded the Admen,' 20, and was for some time senior
officer on the coast of Africa, and a few months since was
appointed to the command of the Powerful, and from that
ship turned over to the St. Vincent, to convey French
troops to the Baltic.

The regret for Capt. Mansell's death is increased at this
moment by the fact that he was so much respected by the
French on account of his having carried a knapsack and
served as a volunteer with the French army in Algeria.
London, England, 1854-09-07

THE VALOROUS.

The Valorous was taken We No. 1 dry dock, at Sheer-
ness, yesterday afternoon, ant, on the dock being pumped
out, it was found that the foregripe, main stem, and fore-
end of the foremost length of Train keel Were carried away.
Her stem was cat through up t 3 her seven feet mark. Her
stemson and stepping-piece of the heels of her cant timbers
were also canted up, and several of the cant timbers broken
on her starboard side, she hay.ng taken the rocks on her
port bow. On cutting away th 3 lashings which secured
the smoke sail, the said sail havi3g been strongly stabbed,
and large long thrums rove through, there was the greatest
difficulty in drawing the thrums out of the seams and
butts, which had, with the in-drift of the water, perfectly
caulked every aperture by which the water entered : over
the smoke sail the storm trysail was placed, also being
thrummed. The whole was firm'y secured by lashings
upon every angle, to counteract the effect of the sea on the
ship rising and pitching. A large number of naval officers,
among whom wore the Commander•in-Chief, Commodore
C. Wyvill, Captain Superintendent J. J. Tucker were
present, most of whom expressed their opinion that the
highest credit was due to the of this ship, for the
seamanlike manner in which this had been designed and
carried into effect by the boatswain and crew. Her damage
will require a great portion of her imernal fitment, water-
ways, shelf sperketing, and ceiling, lie be cleared away to
replace her cant timbers in her fore lody. The crew and
officers are sent off to the Shannon(alias St. Lawrence)
hulk during her repairs.

The Dauntless completed coaling lab last evening, and
came down to harbour moorings.

THE RUSSIAN PRISOIcERS.

The Russian officers sent on board the Devonshire on the
sth have been permitted to come onshore, and negotiations
are going on with the proper authorities for their
residing on shore with their wives, These have been two
deaths from cholera on board the Devonshire since the
prisoners were sent on board, and 12 more fresh cases.

The greatest attention is being paid there by the medical
officer of the ship. The doad will bo buried in the Stand.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Fane).
IN Mt COUNT DUNIN.

Mr. Duncan appeared to-day in support of a summons
obtained a few days since, and which was reported in
The Sun, with respect to a valuable model which had
been prepared by the bankrupt, and which had been ex-
hibited at the Crystal Palace. It was afterwards taken
surreptitiously to France, but returned by the authori-
ties on the ground that it belonged to the assignees—the
law of France thus recognising the bankruptcy laws of
England. The only question is as to whom it belongs,
Ommaney, an army and navy agent, claiming lien
on it, and it still remains at the Custom-house, London.
The examination was very lengthened, and adjourned.

FIRE IN SACKVILLE-STREET, PICCADILLY-

A FEMALE BURNT-(THIS .DAY.)

This morning, between the hours of one and two
o'clock, a fire of a most alarming character broke out at
Miss Elizabeth Morton's lodging-house, No. 19, Sack-
ville-street, Piccadilly, and it is much feared will be at-
tended with loss of life. The inmates were aroused by
the most piercing shrieks for help issuing from the back-
room ground floor, who, on entering it, were horrified at
finding Miss E. Morton wrapped in one body of fire.
An alarm was immediately raised, when the police on
duty were despatched for the engines, which promptly
arrived from King's-street, Clarendon-street, and Weil-
street, followed by the parish engines.
In the meantime Miss Morton was extricated from her
frightful situation, and the flames extinguished. Every
assistance was afforded by some medical gentlemen re-
siding in the house ; but such are the extensive injuries
Miss Morton has received that not the slightest hopes
are entertained of her recovery.
The fire was caused by a candle setting fire to the
furniture while Miss Morton was reading in bed.

THE REVIEW AT ST. OMER.

ST. OMER, Wednesday Evening, Eight o'Clock.
—His Majesty the Emperor and his Royal High-
ness Prince Albert reviewed the troops to-day in
the Plains de Bruyeres. The review was a most
brilliant spectacle, and the Royal party were re-
ceived with great cheering by a large crowd. All
the French Generals were presented to Prince
Albert, who, ill addressing them, expressed great
satisfaction at the appearance and discipline of the
troops, and his hope for a continued entente cordiale
between the two nations. The Royal party then
returned to Boulogne. Another review is appointed
for Thursday at Honvault.

EXPEDITION TO THE CRIMEA.

The expedition to the Crimea was to be under-
taken on the Ist of September.
Marshal St. Arnaud had issued an order of the
day, dated Varna, August 25, acquainting the
troops that the destination of the expedition was
the Crimea ; and that the duty of the allied forces
would be to take Sebastopol as a pledge of peace.
The flags of the three Powers, says the order, will
soon be greeted on the walls of Sebastopol with
cries of " Vive l'Empereur !"
Prince Napoleon does not improve so rapidly as
could be desired.. On the 21st he had another
