THE ISLES OF ALAND.

The following extracts of an article on the isles
of Aland, inserted in the Moniteur, would seem to
indicate that the allies do not intend to occupy
those islands :

"The accounts hitherto published respecting the rigour
of the winter in the islands of Aland fall short of the
truth. Every year, from the first days of November to
the end of April, the climate is intensely cold, the
centigrade thermometer ranging from 20 degrees to 25
degrees, and rising often to 30 degrees. The sea is
frozen over, and the communications on the ice with Fin-
laud are very active. The Russian officers taken pri-
soners at Bomarsund declared to us that they had often
travelled in sledges from Aland to St. Petersburg, en-
camping at night on the ice, and there are still in the
island several old men who perfectly recollect having
seen in 1809 a corps of Russian cavalry of 15,000 men
coming from Finland and crossing the Gulf of Both-
nia to Aland on-the. ice. The climate is so rigorous
in winter that 91)e-third of the soldiers of the gar-
risen of Bomarsimd, are renewed yearly, and the
inscriptions on the tombs of the military cemetery
prove that the mortality in that season is very
great. It had of late assumed such an extension
that the Russian Government had been obliged ,to
order the construction of a military hospital as spacious
as the fortress itself. The rigour of the cold is in-
creased by violent north-westerly winds, which fre-
quently blow in winter during several consecutive
days, and render it completely uninhabitable for fo-
reigners. No means exist to neutralise these atmos-
pheric influences. The island is thinly peopled. It
does not contain a single town, and the few viliages scat-
tered here and there offer no resources. Russia, ever
preoccupied with her future aggrandisement, had re-
f.olved to build a military town adapted to the climate,
and the plan of which had been approved by a recent
ukase. The town was to be situate within the line of
the forts, and to offer some analogy with Sebastopol,
but on a larger scale. While the Finnish part of the
Guif of Bothnia, invariably freezes every year, the por-
tion on the side of Sweden is seldom entirely covered
with ice. This circuirstance was favourable to Russsia,
which during the six months' winter was thus in direct
communication with her possessions of Aland. The
climate of the country is warm in summer. During the
month of August the thermometer often rises to 20 deg.
and 25 deg. (centigrade), bet the evenings and nights
are generally cool. The accounts of the productions of
those islands, published by the press, are completely
erroneous. In their prssent condition they eaenet ever
feed their inhabitants. They offer no resource for an
army or a fleet. They produce fresh-water fish in small
quantity, game is scarce, and the different species of
cattle are of a diminutive size, and not abundant. The
Russian troops drew all their provisions from St.
Petersburg."

DENMARK.

COPENHAGEN, Wednesday.—A crowded meeting
of the members of the Constitutional Society was
held last evening. Three thousand persons, in-
cluding men of all ranks, were present.
Enthusiastic resolutions were passed, supporting
the ground-law, denouncing the despotism of the
octroi, and defying the Ministry.
All the persons present solemnly agreed to sus-
tain the Parliament in impeaching the Cabinet,
and to refuse the payment of taxes until this step
had been taken.

A sum amounting to several thou and dollars
was subscribed in the room towards forming a fund
for guaranteeing the support of discharged civilians,
members of Pariament, and for assisting the con-
stitutional press.

The name of the King was not mentioned during
the proceedings. At the close, loud cheers were
given for the Constitution.

- The Ministry continue to threaten. obnoxious
public men, as well as members of Parliament
holding ofEe. The consequence is, that fresh re-
signations are taking place.

THE BALTIC.

COPENHAGEN; Aug. 25.—English transports con-
tinue to pass on their way to the fleet and army.
A Frendh transport, the Courrier de Marseille,
with provisions for the Aland division, has stranded
on the southern shore of Refshorn, on the coast of
West Jutland. The crew (eight men) were saved
by eleven men jumping inio the life-boat, and
dashing out to the brig, after an attempt to send a
rocket line had failed, the distance from the shore
being too great. She is iv,w discharging. A mes-
sage has been sent to the French consul in Elsinore
for a steamer, and it is hoped she may yet be got
off. As yet she has sprung no leak.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.-(TRIS DAY.

(Before Mr. Com►nissioner Fonblanque.)

IN RE ROE.

IMPORTANT TO BANKRUPTS AND ACCOUNTANTS.

This bankrupt was described as of Brighton-place,
Brixton, oil and colourman, and to-day was appointed
for his last examination.

The balance-sheet prepared by Mr. Ventris extends
over a period of 18 months. Debtor to creditors, 9GII. ;

to ditto holding securay, 1501. ; creditor by good debts,
1871. 14s. 4d. ; doubtful, 97/. 2s. 6d. ; property given
up, 1271. 13s. 6d. ; ditto in the hands of creditors, 1701.
An application was made on behalf of the bankrupt
for an allowance to pay the accountant for preparing
the accounts.

His Honour asked whether the accountant had been
appointed under the sanction of the Court.
The solicitor said that under peculiar circumstances
be had not, as the person who had been authorised,
neglected to complete the accounts, and Mr. Ventris
had been called in.

His Honour said that if persons chose to act on their
own judgment, they must take the consequences. The
Court ought to have been applied to—he should, there-
fore, refuse the allowance.
London, England, 1854-08-31

TURKEY.

The dissatisfaction among the troops at being
kept so long inactive is extreme. A French officer,
who died in the central hospital at Constantinople,
just before he expired said to a " sister of charity"
that attended him, " I am not loath to die, but to
die without having gained honour." The Seras-
kier Riza Pasha has been intriguing to have Omer
Pasha sent to Asia Minor, to take the command
of the army there ; but the Sultan is averse to the
idea.

The Bosphorus is now deserted by all but a few
vessels. The gigantic Orinoco still retains its
position at Beycos, and the Rifles' band adds to the
gaieties of Therapia and its sister villages.
On the 14th Omer Pasha received news from Her-
mannstadt that the Austrian occupation would begin
on the 19th, and he at once sent off one of his adju-
tants to Marshal St. Arnaud at Varna, with the im-
portant intelligence. The Turkish Generalissimo
has chosen 150 officers of rank who are to, form his
suite when he receives the Austrians at Bucharest.
The Turks are fortifying Tirnova, which lies south
of Sistova, and is one of the fortified places that
was razed in accordance with the stipulations cf the
treaty of Adrianople. According to that treaty the
Danubian islands were to be considered neutral
ground, but the Turks have taken possession of
those which are of importance in a strategic point
'of view. Up to the 20th the Russians had made
no serious preparations for quitting Moldavia.
Troops had passed the Pruth by way of Leova
into Bessarabia, but these were battalions which
bad entered Moldavia from Kamienitz in Podolia,
and were on their way to Odessa. By marching
these troops through a part of Moldavia, instead of
through the whole of Bessarabia, the Emperor
Nicholas fed them at the expense of the Moldavians,
instead of his own.

AUSTRIA.

VIM,TNA, Friday, Nov. 10.— Baron von dor
Pfordten left Vienna this morning.
Prussia is apparently meeting the views of
Austria.

It is reported that Russia is willing to negotiate
on the four guarantee points.
The intended new levy of 80,000 to 100,000 men
is temporarily postponed.
The adhesion of Bavaria to the policy of Austria
is believed to be secured.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Sunday, Nov. 12.---The Russian reply
to the last Prussian note bas arrived. The Russian
Cabinet does not unreservedly accept, but is dis-
posed to discuss, the four points as a basis for ne-
gotiations.

- A letter from Berlin, of the Bth, in the Cologne
Gazette, says :—" It is understood that M. de Bud-
berg has supported with his Government the Prus-
sian note of the 23d ult., and the more willingly
that the four points mentioned in that document
are only presented as the elements of conditions
calculated to lead to peace. However, the present
adhesion of Russia to these points could not have
the importance which might be attributed to it,
since the position of the Allied Powers has led these
latter far beyond them, and could only be useful
to the German States, which, in case of admission,
would argue from them in favour of their neu-
trality."

TEE CULTS MURDER.

The trial of Francis Forbes, for the murder of Ann
Harvey, at or near Cults, Aberdeenshire, on the morn-
ing of Sunday, the 7th of May last, took place at the
High Court of Justiciary, Edinburgh, on Thursday. The
case was to have come before the autumn circuit court
or assizes at Aberdeen, but, tot being then ready for
trial, was postponed till the meeting of the High Court
of Justiciary in Edinburgh. The witnessesfor the Crown
and defence were about 60 in number. The libel, to
which Forbes pleaded not gvilty, charged him with
having, while on the turnpike-road leading from Aber-
deen to Banchory, and near the dam-head of Cults,
Aberdeenshire, assaulted the deceased with a knife or
other sharp instrument, and inflicted on her person
wounds which caused her death.
The Lord Advocate conducted the prosecution. The
prisoner, who seemed to be about 20 years of age, mani
fested the greatest coolness, if not indifference, to the
proceedings of the trial.
For the prosecution, several witnesses proved that the
deceased left Cults on the evening of her death to pro-
ceed to Aberdeen, and stated to several parties that she
expected the prisoner, who had promised her marriage,
to accompany her home. To one witness she admitted
that she was pregnant by him. No fewer than five inde-
pendent and unconnected witnesses swore that they saw
the prisoner and deceased walking together on the road
home from Aberdeen the night of the murder ; and one
of the witnesses•said ho saw them within a hundred
yards of where the body was found.
For the prisoner, his brother and sister-in-law swore
that he was in their house the whole of that night. Four
other witnesses stated that they saw him there at various
hours of the evening, including the time when the mur-
der was supposed to have been committed.
The Lord Advocate, for the Crown, pressed the jury
for a conviction, and maintained that the evidence was
clear and decided against the prisoner, notwithstanding
the alibi which had been endeavoured to be set up.
Mr. Miller then addressed the jury for the defence,
laying his principal argument on the clear and decisive
evidence which he had led of the prisoner not being at
Aberdeen on the night of the murder.
The Lord Justice-Clerk then summed up, and
The jury, after a short absence, returned to court with
a verdict, finding the libel not proven.
There was a slight murmur of dieapprobation when
the Verdict was returned,

Grand Dukes Michael and Nicholas, attacked
yesterday the right of the English position before

the place.
" The English army maintained the battle with
the most remarkable solidity, supported by a por-
tion or General Bosquet's division.

" The enemy, much more numerous than us,
was driven back with enormous loss, estimated al
8,000 to 9,000 men.

" This obstinate struggle lasted throughout the

whole of the day.

"At the same time, on my left wing, General
Forey had to drive back a sortie of the garrison.
The troops led by him drove back the enemy into
the town, with a loss of 1,000 men.
" This brilliant feat of arms, which was not
achieved without some loss to the Allies, reflects
the highest honour upon our armies.

THE VENGEANCE.

I am now as accustomed to the'sound of the booming
of cannon as you are to that of coach wheels. On
Sunday, the 15th, we received the first intimation that
we should have to engage the forts of Sebastopol. On
the following day we cleared the ship for action, and
valuables,
and busy scene it was—every one stowing away
and making wills, and the doctors preparinga fearful

plate. One ship lost her mainmast, another a bowsprit,
and another her topmast. The Sanspareil was the most
cut up. We had two boats smashed, and several other
minor accidents. At six o'clock, it being dark, the
ships began to haul off, our own ship being one of the
last to leave. This morning the ships are all repairing
damages. We could seldom see what we were firing at
from the smoke being so dense. The noise and whistling
of shot were tremendous, and up to this moment
it is kept up on shore as brisk as ever. We fired 900
shot, twenty shell, and thirty rockets. What damage
was done to the forts I cannot tell, but I am afraid not
much, on account of not being able to get nearer from
shallow water. It is not likely we shall do anything
more ; I mean the ships. We shall leave the rest tor the

LA TV INTELLIGENCE.--(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
QUEEN V. THE SURVEYORS OF THE HIGHWAY OF ST.

MARY, L BETH.

Mr. Pashley applied to the Court for a rule calling
upon the parish authorities of Lambeth to show cause
why they should not pay 851. ss. 6d., the cost of a pro-
secution instituted under the following circumstances :
It appeared that in 1853 there was a new road leading
from the east end of Camberwell New-road and running
towards Dulwich ; and some of the inhabitants on Den-
mark-hill, suffering great annoyance from the bad state
of the road, called upon the Highway Surveyors of Lam-
beth to put it in repair. The parish authorities, how-
ever, refused to allow them to do so, alleging that they
were not liable at law to keep the road in repair, and,
thereupon, an indictment was preferred against them at
the Surrey Sessions, which resulted in an order being
made, peremptorily requiring the surveyors to repair the
road. The costs of that indictment were taxed 851. ss.
61, and demand had been made upon the treasurer of
the parish for the amount, but he had declined to pay,
and hence the necesFity for the present motion.
Application granted..

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Fame.)

IN RE BOLENO MASON.-TILE CLOWN, WINDMILL-STREET.

This was the first meeting for the proof of debts and
choice of assignees under the failure of Henry Bolero
Ma-on, of the Clown Tavern, Windmill-street, well
known as Harry Boleno, the clown.
Mr. Beard, from the office of Mr. Buchanan, repro-
sented Mr.'Edward Thomas, whose debt is 1111. 103. for
cash advanced, and who is the petitioning creditor.
The act of bankruptcy is that he (Mason) exercised the
trade and business of a victualler by keeping a house for
the sale and consumption of wine and other liquors, and
for the entertainment of the visitors of the same, &c.
The total amount of debts is 1,1431., and assets esti-
mated at 1,0001. Eight proofs of debt were admitted
on this occasion, amounting to 5431., and among them
one on behalf of? Mr. Van Buren ; Mr. John Lea, pro-
}r:etor of the Cafe, Haymarket; Mr. E. T. Smith,
lessee of Drury-lane, &c.
Mr. Thomas was appointed assignee.
The bankrupt applied for an allowance, and after a
brief conversation,

His Honour ordered 21., with liberty to apply to have
it increased at the next sitting.
The next meeting for the examination of the bankrupt
is fixed to be held on the 16th of December.

PRUSSIA.

BEILLM Sunday, Nov. 12.—The Russian reply
to the last Prussian note has arrived. The Russian
Cabinet does not unreservedly accept, but is dis-
posed to discuss, the four points as a basis for ne-
gotiations.
A letter from Berlin, of the 81b, in the Cologne
Gazette, says : It is understood that M. de Bud-
berg has supported with his Government the Prus-
sian not© of the 23d ult., and the more willingly
that the four points mentioned iu that document
are only presented as the elements of conditions
calculated to lead to peace. However, the present
adhesion of Russia to these points could not have
the importance which might be attributed to it,
since the position of the Allied Powers has led these
latter far beyond them, and could only be useful
to tho German States, which, in case of admission,
would argue from them in favour of their neu-
trality."

_RAILWAY RETURN TICKETS.

On Saturday, in the City Sheriff's Court, an action
was brought by the South-Western Railway Company-
against Mr. Gude, solicitor, of George-yard, Lombard-
street, and who has a residence at Chobhatn. It ap-
peared that the company issued return tickets on the
Saturday, available till the Monday, to Guildford, at the
rate of ss. The defendant wa■ in the habit of leaving
town on the Saturday, for his country residence, and,
instead of taking a ticket for the station at which ho
alighted (Woking—the fare by return ticket to which is
charged 65.), he took a 53. ticket to Guildford, although
the latter is five miles farther from London. On reach-
ing Woking, defendant got out, and the extra shilling
was demanded of him, and refused, and the present ac-
tion was brought to try the question. It shouid be re-
, marked that the reason of the fare to Guildford being less
than to Woking is, that there is a South-Eastern com-
peting line to that place, but not to Woking.
Mr. Ballantine, for the company, contended that the
contract was specified upon the ticket, and the defen-
dant was bound by the contract, which the company bad
a right to make, and, by acting as he had done, he had
committed a breach of such contract. _ _

Mr. Gude maintained that he had a perfect right to
get out at any station short of the distance specified on
the ticket, and that the •company had no right to com-
pel him to travel ten miles beyond his distance, which
it would be there and back.
The judge (Mr. Russell Gurney) said he did not think
there was any contract upon which the company could
recover. The defendant had taken a ticket for a longer
distance than he bad proceeded, and there was nothing
to show that he might not get out at any intermediate
station he pleased. If that right was not accorded, the
company ought to make it more clear on the tickets,
that they could only be presented and made available
for the stations for which they were issued.—Vordict
for defendant.

LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1854,

At length we are favoured with despatches
from Lord RAGLAN. Even the missing one is
forthcoming. It arrived on Saturday, having
been only twenty-five clays in transitu. More recent
events, and the knowledge previously obtained of
the proceedings during the two first days of the
bombardment, had materially abated tho interest
that would have been excited in reference to these
important events. The tidings, therefore, natu-
rally were rather flat. A despatch is not made
of keeping materials, where there are other
sources of information open ; any delay ma-
terially abridges the excitement it is calculated
to occasion. In one point, however, it always
maintains its claim on public attention. The lists
of killed and wounded will be eagerly scanned to
look for names known to the reader, to ascertain
whether friends or relatives are not included in
the melancholy catalogue ; or, if their names
should be found, whether they escaped with
slight wounds only, or had the fatal marks,
" severely," or " dangerously," or " killed," ap-
pended to their names in the Gazette Extraordi-
"lb • The despatch of the 18th October, although
late in arriving, relieved the anxieties of many,
and ras therefore eagerly scanned. But, in other
respects,
despatches relating to the aifairs of
the 25th and 26th absorbed the public attention.
It will be 'remembered that there were some ap-
parent discrepancies between the statements
emanating from Prince MENSCILIKOFF and Lord
STRAT'ORD DE RLDCLIFFE) and that attributed to
General CANROBERT, and the most intense
to ascertain the true state of the case prevailed on
every side and among men of all
ranks and classes
in society.

This very natural feeling has at length been
evening two despatches wereord
gratified. Yesterday
received by the Duke of NxweAsTrz from L
RAGLAN, containing three others from Lord
linc,L.N, Sir COLLN CAMPBELL, and Sir DE LACY
EVANS, respectively, from which we can very
clearly understand • the true state of the case on
the 25th and 26th ultiirq, and distinctly know
the amount of loss we have to deplore ou these
days—the former of which, we regret to say,
proved exceedingly fatal to our light cavalry bri-
gade. Officers and men displayed a daring and
desperate courage, which reflected the highest
honour on those engaged in the fierce encounter.
They must have known the onerous and dangerous
nature of the duty they were ordered to discharge;
they must have felt that many of their number
would hays remained on the field ; nay, more,
hat they were probably the victims of a mistake(?);
