Of the conquest of S3inde, Napier writes :

"Europe will have more to fem. thaa India. But is
Russia really to be feared in Europe ? This is a ques-
tion easier to ask than to answer.

" The profound falqehoo,l of her Government—her
barbarous corruption—her artificial pretensions--the
glitter of her regular armies, shining only from the pu-
trescence of national feeling, would lead to the negative.
Her surprisin; progress in acquisition of territory, within
the last hundred years, would lead to the affirmative.
" If vre belive those writers who have described the
ramifications of the one huge falsehood of pretension,
which they say pervades Russia, her barbarity, using
the word in its full signification, would appear more
terrible than her strength.

" Nor can I question their accuracy, having,'in 1815,
when the reputation of the Russian troops was highest,
detected the same falsehood of display without real
strength. For, from the imperial parades on the Boule-
vards at Paris, where, oiled, bandaged, and clothed, to
look like men whom British soldiers would be proud to
charge on a field of battle, the Muscovite was admired.
I followed him to his billet, where, stripped of his dis-
guise, he appeared short of stature, squalid, and meagre,
his face rigid with misery, shocking sight and feeling.
A British soldier would have offered him bread rather
than the bayonet.
" Nevertheless, some innate expanding and dangerous
strength must belong to a nation which, during long
contests with the most warlike people of continental
Europe, led by Frederick and Napoleon, has steadily
advanced by arms and by policy, appropriating whole
countries to herself, until her Cossacks may now encamp
en her own territories within a few marches of Vienna,
Berlin, Stockholm, and Constantinople. Her regular
armies may be bad, her fleets in the Baltic and Black
Sea may be worse ; but they are there ; and she can
send half a million of wild Norsemen, who, without pay,
would invade Europe for the plunder; sustained by
regular armies on the Russian frontier, they would make
such ravage as half a century could not repair. The
chances of revolution have been spoken of as the remedy
for the Muscovite power ; but who can predict that re-
volution will not augment, rather than diminish, her
warlike strength and ambition ! Her policy is national,
and it menaces freedom, and happiness, and civilisation.
Poland was the first error of Europe in respect to
Russia ; Circassia may be the second ; Constantinople
flee last and greatest."

So far Sir WILLIAM NAPIER ten years ago.
Compare his words with our own knowledge of
facts as regards the army of the CzAR, and lot
each ask himself whether the hour has not almost
arrived that his forces should be driven out of the
Caspian, and Poland made an independent nation
and an outpost for the security of Europe. We
said so more than twenty-five years ago.

THE CRIMEA.

The latest news from the Crimea, in the Lloyd,
informs us that the bombardment of Sebastopol
commenced on the ith inst. This is in some mea-
sure corroborated by a despatch in another Vienna
journal, to the effect that up to the 6th the bom-
barding of the fortress had not begun.
General Osten-Sacken is still at Perekop, await-
ing the arrival of the reinforcements. It is very
probable that he will take the separate command
of the reserves, while Prince Menschikoff will con-
fine his operations to the defence of his position
near Sebastopol. These reinforcements that are so
much talked of would, it was anticipated, in the
first place, reach Simpheropol by the 12th or 14th.
We read now in a despatch from Odessa, that it is
believed that the reinforcements will not arrivo at
their destination before the 25th of October.

The Soldaten Freund gives the position of the
allied armies on the 7th inst. The main body of
th• right wing is at Kamara, north east of Ba
lava, with its outposts advanced to the river Cher-
pays. The centre occupies the road from Sebas-
topol to Balaklava, and the main body of the left
wing is at Karani, with its outposts at Khutor,
and a detachment, consisting of one battalion of
Rifles and a regiment of infantry, in the convent
of St. George on the seashore. The distance from
the right wing to the left is not more than one hour
and a half.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

PROCLAMATION TO THE MOLDAVIANS.
The proclamation addressed by Dervish Pacha,
the Turkish commissioner in the Danubian Princi-
palities, to the Moldavians, on the entry of the
Austrian troops into Jassy, is published in the
Moniteur of yesterday. It is as follows. The
passages we have printed in italics read like irony.
" Moldavians,—His Imperial Majesty the Sultan, our
gracious sovereign, out of his high and paternal care for
his subjects, without any distinction, has been pleased to
give you a new proof of his benevolence, iniconducend-
ing to appoint me his imperial contmusioner in the two
Principalities, to watch over your interests, and re-estab-
lish the order which has unfortunately been disturbed by
the injustice and self-will of the Russian Government.
While making known to you this gracious determination
of his Imperial Majesty, I hasten to make the following
communication :—The Sublime Porte, having concluded
a special convention with the Government of his Imperial
and Apostolic Majesty, as it had previously done with
the Governments of France and Great Britain, it is my
daty to inform you, that according to the tenonr of this
treaty, Austrian troops will enter provisionally into the
two Principalities. The presence of these troops in Mol-
davia need not disquiet you, since they enter as belonging
to a Power friendly and allied to the Sublime Porte ;
they will occasion no charge to you, since they will pay
regularly in specie for everything they require to buy in
the country. The Russians having definitively quitted the
Principalities, the former order of things is re-established,
and his Highness Prince Ghika has received orders
to resume the reins of government. Your ancient pri-
♦ileges and immunities are and will be maintained, and
you will thereby see that the maintenance of these pri-
vileges is noways due to treaties which have been annulled,
but to the benevolent and paternal care of his Impe-
rial Majesty, the Sultan, onr gracious master, whose
honour and glory are deeply interested in their conserva-
tion. Moldavians, your country has suffered much ;
but under the protecting shield of our gracious sovereign
everything is about to re-enter into its normal condition.
Till circumstances pirm,it a more happy development, you
ought to continue to obey the laws by which you are
governed, and to preserve that sentiment of respect for
them which is indi.pensable to the happinet, awl pro-
sperity of a country. By this means nothing, will be
more easy and agreeable than to maintain the public
order and tranquillity, over which our august sovereign
has charged me to watch carefully. I place all relianca

in your sentiments of devotion and loyalty to his Impe-
rial Majesty, our beloved sovereign, and in your legiti-
mate love for the country of your birth.

missioner and General of Division.

PRINCE WORONZOFF.

It is said in Paris that Prince Woronzoff has
been repeatedly pressed to take the command in the
Crimea. The Prince, who has more than once ex-
pressed his disapproval of the policy of the Czar,
has refused. Being pressed on the point he made
ill health a pretext for retiring, and is now in
Brussels. Another effort is made to induce him to
go to the Crimea, and an agent of the Emperor is
now in that city, or is shortly expected there for
that object.

We extract the following from a letter received
from the Continent :—" A Russian official at Kiel,
though not a Russian by birth, refused to be-
lieve the news of the taking of Sebastopol, when
most people gave credit to it. He declared it
would take more time than it was supposed, but
that it would certainly fall, and the date he sug-
employed by the

as a man of much head, but it appears that some
of the best officers of the special branches of the
military profession, engineers and artillery, are
now in the Crimea, or in Sebastopol itself. What-

shore of Wellington Channel, with Beechey Island bear-
ing due south.
Commander Richards, in reply to the same question
as had been put in the previous cases, said he had no
complaint to make of the conduct of the officers or crew
of the vessel ; and the officers and crew, h ving
been appealed to in the same manner, made no com-
plaint.
The Court (to Commander Richards)—Did you feel
it your duty to make any representation on receiving
the order from Sir Edward Belcher Commander
Richards :—No.
The court was then cleared, and after a short consul-
tation was re-opened. The Deputy Judge-Advocate
then read the finding of the Court, to the following
effect :—That the Court is of opinion that no blame
whatever is imputable to Commander Richards and the
other officers of the ships Assistance and Pioneer, inas-
much as Captain Belcher was in actual command of such
ships, and gave orders for their abandonment ; and the
Court therefore adjudge that the said Commander
Richards ant the other officers be fully acquitted, and
they are hereby acquitted accordingly.
Admiral Gordon then restored his sword to Com-
mander Richards, observiag that he had great pleasure
so doing.

COURT-MARTIAL ON SIR E. BELCHER.
The Court then proceeded to try Sir E. Belcher, for
his conduct on the occasion of the loss of her Majesty's
skip Assistance and her tender Pioneer, and for his con-
duct in directing the abandonment of her Majesty's ships
Investigator and Resolute, with their tender Intrepid.
Commander Richards was the first witness called.
His examination elid not close until four o'clock, and the
Court tken adjourned until to-morrow morning at nine.

THE BATTLE OP ALMA.

With his usual promptitude Mr. Wyld has just
published a very graphic map of the Battle of the
Alma. It is the most perspicuous delineation of
that glorious event which we hay, yet seen. Not
only are the positions of the rival armies clearly
defined before the day of battle, but the relative
positions of the lilies the night after the ♦ictory.
The relative anchorage of the fleets flanking the
shore is also graphically illustrated, with the names
of the respective vessels, steamers, and line-of-
battle ships. Altogether, this is a map which every
oce will be proud and delighted to examine over
and over again, and still and often refer to.

PIMLICO LITHEART AND SCITEINTIFIC INSTITUTION.—
The result of the public meeting held some time ago
has enabled the Rev. Mr. Hamilton, and the friends of
the institution, to place it on an improved footing. A
large number of members have already enrolled them-
selves for the winter quarters. Last night, Dr. W.
Vesalius Pettigrew delivered an introductory lecture, at
which many of the influential supporters of the institu-
tion were also present.
THE " Brum" or THE FIRST DIVISION.—A cor-
poral of the 42d Highlanders, in the Duke of Cambridge's
division, writes home--" After the battle, the Duke
himself camo•up, the same as if he was one of our
1 churns, and at the same time up comes a colonel on
horseback. ' I have is thank your Royal Highness for
saving us to-day.' 'Oh,' says the Duke, ' you must not
thank rne, for these are the gentlemen that won the day
and saved you.' The colonel replied, ' And Sir Colin,
too.' ' A h,' says the Duke, ' Sir Cohn is a brick.'
•‘ Ay,' says a sergeant of ours, ' and you are a brick
yourself,' and we so gave them three times three."
FORGERY' OF AN LesoLvENT " PROTECTION."--At the
Bristol police court, on Saturday, a respectably attired
young man named John Gellifer, who had been until re-
cently a clerkk in the offices of two or three leading legal
establishments in that city, was placed at the bar and
charged with having feloniously forged and uttered a

POLAND.

CRACOW, Oct. 9.—Cracow is not capable of being
converted into a regular fortress, but will have in
all likelihood an entrenched camp with detached
forts. These forts, not yet finished, are Kosciusko
on what was formerly the Bronislava hill, Veuedek
on the Krzemionka heights and the right bank of
the Vistula, Dombie at the ford, and Fort Warsaw
not far from Prondnik on the Warsaw road.
The recklessness with which the Russians are
compelling the Posh landowners to send in the
supplies lately ordered by a special decree sur-
passes belief. The quota of each person is as-
sessed without ascertaining whether it even exists
or not on the estate. The quantity is ordered and
there it must be, there it shall be ; and as for
paying honestly, there is not even an attempt to
do so, for they pay what they please, often a
third of the real value.

HOLBORN-HILL.

Mr. DAVIS wished to know f;;;.the engineer how far
it was possible, under existing circumstances, to improve
Holborn-hill? (We believe the Commissioner meant a
temporary improvement.)
Mr. HAYWOOD said it would be impossible to alter the
'declivity without sinking the houses on each side, and
the expense would be enormous.
Several of the members said that, as the question was
beer° the corporation, who alone could deal with it, the
discussion of it in the Court of Sewers would be ex-
tremely injudicious. It was, they admitted, obvious to
all that the llolborn-hill improiement must be the next
great improvement of the City.
Mr. DAVIS was afraid that the public would then have
to wait till doomsday.

THE VICTORIA-BRIDGE AT MONTREAL,

The Victoria-bridge over the St. Lawrence will cer-
tainly be the most remarkable work of the kind in the
Canadas—we might say in the whole world. It reminds
us of some of the old Rowan works, such as the ancient
aqueducts which span the valleys of Italy, in their grand
and gigantio proportions more than of an ordinary bridge
over a river. The success of the engineer in the build-
ing of the Britannia-bridge has fully justified him in
deciding upon the adoption of the same plan for the
Victoria-bridge, which will be constructed on 24 piers,
with spans or spaces for the navigation, exclusive of
the two abutments whence the tubes spring on either
side. The centre space or span will be 330 feet wide,
and each of the other 24 spans will be 220 feet wide.
The width of the piers nearest to each abutment will be
15 feet, and as the piers approach the centre piers, it
will amount to 18 feet. The abutments from which the
tubes spring will be each of them 242 feet long, and 90
feet wide, and from the north shores of the St. Law-
rence, to the north abutment there will be a solid stone
embankment of rough masonry 1,200 feet in length,
raised like an artificial rock to resist the current. The
stone embankment leading from the south shore of the
river to the south abutment will be half this length, or
600 feet. The length of the bridge itself from abut-
ment to abutment, and its total length from the river
bank to river bank, will be 10,234 feet, or about 50
yards less than two English miles. The clear diStance
between the under surface of the centre tube, and the
average summer level of the river is to be 60 feet, and
the height will diminish towards either side with a grade
at the rate of 1 in 130 or 140 feet in the mile ; se that
at the outer or river edge of each abutment the height
will be .3f3 feet above the summer level. Unless unfore-
seen difficulties arise, the first railway train will pass
over the broad St. Lawrente by the summer of 1858.
A few years hence, and this very bridge will become one
of the greatest attractions ti, the tourist and.the traveller.

FRAN CE.
FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING.
The Paris journals of this clay are mlanimous
in regarding the despatch of Prince Menschikoff
announcing the commencement of the bom-
bardment of Sebastopol, as warranting a belief
that the result of the first day's fire was more dis-
astrous to the Russians than they are willing to
admit.

The following despatches have been received
to-day :

" TRIEsTE, 25th.—At the departure of the
packet of the 16th from Constantinople, all the
disposable troops of the garrison wer about to
embark for the Criniea.
Several steamers had arrived from alaklava,
with men who were wounded in repelling a sortie
made by 30,000 Russians of the garrison of Sebas-
topol.
Accounts from Trebizond state that the mission
of the Euvoy of Schamyl to the Obichas had failed.
Accounts from Athens of the 20th state that
there is much dissension prevailing iu the Greek
Ministry.

M. lVfelaxas has been dismissed from his functions
as Ambassador at Constantinople.
The commune of the Piraeus has given a ban-
quet to the French officers.
The journal La Minerve kas received a warning.

' OFFICIAL VISIT TO CEATHAISL-

The Black Eagle, Admiralty 'steam yacht, arrived at
Sheerness from Chatham yesterday at 12.30 p.m., with
Captain Peter Richards, C. 8., &c., and the Hon. Wm.
Francis Cowper, M.P., Lords of the Admiralty, accom-
panied by Colonel Green, of the engineer department.
Their lordships landed at the dockyard, and were re-
ceived by the Captain-Superintendent, John J. Tucker,
and the principal officers. Their lordships, with the
Captain-Superintendent, first proceeded to the Admi-
ral's-offices, and there inspected the electric telegraph ;
they afterwards, attended by theprincipal officers, visited
the victualling stores, the smithery, and the ships' galley-
range workshops, and took their departure at 3 p.m.

THE ENGINE•ROOM TELEGRAPH.
Captain Crispin's, R.N., patent engine-room telegraph
is completed on board the Royal Albert. It comnauni-
cates'from the conning stations on both sides of the poop
direct to the engine-room by a connecting galvanized
wire of sufficient strength to insure security. On Tues-
day last a satisfactory trial took• place under the imme-
diate superintendence of Mr. Rumbel, - chief engineer.
This ship is also fitted with Mr. Bonney's patent gutta-
percha speaking tubes, which together must giVe every
security in communications from the poop to the engine-
room. Capt. Crispin's. engine-room telegraph is now in
use on board the above ship, the Colossus, and Malacca.

GREECE.

A letter from Athens of the 13th, in the Par-
lamento of Turin, says :

"No sooner was the news of Marshal St. Arnaud's
death, and the departure of the brigade Mayran from
Greece, known here, than all the partisans of Russia gave
public vent to their joy, pretending to believe that the
extermination of the Anglo-French forces was at hand.
To this sort of manifestation the French stationed her*
replied by a promenade militaire, and the French Am-
bassador sent word to a Greek paper which does not take
great pains to disguise its Russian propensities not to
trouble itself about the Allied troops in future. The
King is still devotedly attached to his old friends. Livit •
week he appointed General Notaras his marshal of the
palace, in spite of all his Ministers could say ; and now
he is again at variance with them about the appointment
of his aides-de-camp. Numerous bands of rubbers are
infesting the country. Last week a band of 9 men
tortured a priest in the village of Pikermi, to make him
give up his money, which the unfortunate man was at
last compelled to do."

GUN PRACTICE.

The Artillery gun target practice has been going on
now from the saluting battery at Sheerness, on the cen-
tre bastion, for several days past. The practice has
been highly creditable. The guns are long 32-pounders.
The practice on Wednesday was by Captain Romer's
company, who weie engaged at the Cape last Kaffir war.
Lieuts. Batchelor and Carey were the working officers:
The target was at 1,600 yards, and not one of the shots
fell five yards over or short, right or left, of the target.
This company are daily expected to receive orders to
proceed to the seat of war in the East.

ADMIRAL DUNDAS.
The following letters have been published by the
Morning Herald :
The Editor of the Times presents his compliments to
the Editor of the Morning _Herald, and has to request
that the Editor of the Morning Herald will publish with
equal prominence his reply to the letter from Mr.
Dundas which appears in the Morning Herald of this
day. .
It would have been more consistent with the " fair
play" which Mr. Duadas claims to have waited to re-
ceive this reply before publishing his own letter.

Printing-house-square, Oct. 24.
The Editor of the Times presents his compliments to-
Mr. Dundas, and begs to assure him that hip father shall
receive all the " fair play" that even his son can " claim"
at his hands.

As to the "private motive" of which Mr. Dundas
writes, the Editor is aware of none but a strong desire
to put the most favourable construction upon the con-
duct of an old acquaintance, from whom he has received
many civilities, and generally on that of every officer
holding so responsible a post.
Mr. Dundas invokes the "code of honour among the
officers of her Majesty's navy" against the correspondent
who writes from her Majesty's ship Agamemnon.
The Editor is content to leave him under the juris-
diction of the same code, equally confident with Mr.
Dundas of a directly opposite conclusion.
• Mr. Dundas need not be informed that the acts of an
admiral, to whom is entrusted a principal share in one
of the greatest expeditions of modern times, are neces-
sarily amenable to public criticism.
Nothing which has ever appeared in the Times has
over-stepped the fair limits of such criticism, and Mr.
Dundas ►nay rest assurred that nothing will ever ap-
pear which will deserve from less partial judges such
epithets as " persecuting venom," or " continued
abuse."
The Rev. J. W. Dundas.

RUSSIA.

The Invalids Russe which hitherto has not
taken the least notice of the affair on the Alma,
or the seizure of Balaklava, published on the
14th instant an extraordinary supplement, for
the purpose of annourcing "News from the
Black Sea." We subjoin the Invalide's news,
which appears to refer to one of the flying
visits made by our steamers to various points of
the Russian coasts, for the purpose of distract-
ing the enemy during the more serious opera-
tions before Sebastopol. In the construction
of his story the writer appears to have strictly
followed traditional models—the fighting priest,
the efficacious cross, and the " one man wounded,"
being very familiar expedients in this class of Rus-
sian literature :

" On the 22d of Sept. (Oct. 4), at six o'clock is the
morning, four steamers of the enemy, two of which were
under the English flag, and two were French, ap-
pniached the Nicholas battery, provisionally erected
on Cape Otchakoff, in order to defend the entrance
to the estuary of the Dnieper. The Lieutenant-
Colonel of Horse Artillery Golovatcheff, who commands
the detachment cantonal near Otchakoff, immediately
took measures for repelling the enemy, whom he re-
ceived with red-hot balls fired from the battery. A
flotilla of five gun-boats, then at Otchakoff, under the
command of Commander Endogouroff, opened Its fire at
the same time. The steamers of the enemy, armed with
a great number of heavy guns, rained for three hours
and a half balls, bombs, and rockets on our battery,
but without much injuring it. They themselves, after
being damaged, found themselves compelled to re-
tire, one after the other, from out of the range of
our guns. At ten in the morning all was over, the
inhabitants of the shore saw distinctly the steamers
of the enemy make for the island of Berezane, and
there bury their dead. On our side, one soldier
alone was wounded, and four received contusions.
In his report, Lieutenant-Colonel Golovatcheff, com-
manding the detachment of Otchakoff, testiges to the
unshakeable firmness of the company of the sixth reserve
battalion of the regiment of Litornir Chasseure, which
manned the battery under the command of the second
captain Tereshoff ; he in particular highly praises the
coolness and courage of Ensign Kryloff, of the Field ar-
tillery, who directed the battery, as likewite the self-
denial of R. P. Gabriel Southkovski, priest of the
Otchakoff church, who repaired spontaneously with the
cross in his hand to the battery, and where he blessed its
defenders under the enemy's fire, and even helped them
to load their pieces."

HABEET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
Very moderate supplies of English wheat have been re-
ceived up to our market this week coastwise and by land
carriage. The show of samples here to-day was small, and
a good clearance was effected at prices rather over those
obtained on Monday.
The amount of busisess done in foreign wheat was com-
paratively small ; but we had few sellers of any kind ex-
cept at a further improvement in value of from is to 2s
per quarter.
The barley trade was firm, and fine parcels were is per
quarter dearer.
There was a good sale for malt, the value of which had
an upward tendency.

To•day's market was but moderately supplied with
beasts in very middling condition. Prime breeds moved
off steadily at fail prices; otherwise, the beef trade was
heavy, and the quotations had a downward tendency.
Although the supply of sheep was rather limited, the sale
for that description of stock was in a sluggish state at
barely Monday's currency. The inquiry for calves was
rather inactive, en former terms. The pork trade was to-
lerably firm. In prices no change took place.
