THE A ITTACK ON BOMARSUND.

The most obvious inferences to be drawn from
the success of the attack on Bomarsund is, that the
Russian forts, if they are generally constructed on
the same principles and of the same materials as
those of Bomarsund, cannot withstand for any
lengthened time a close fire of heavy guns, even
when those guns are very few in number, and that
the difficulty of fighting in casemated batteries is
greatly increased by the fire of Minie rifles, which
can now be directed with great precision into the
embrasures. The fire of the ships at the long range
at which they were compelled to lie acted chiefly as
a diversion in favour of the troops, and produced
no decisive effect on the forts ; but it still remains
to be ascertained what would be the effect of the
broadside of a three-decker on a fort of this descrip-
tion, and whether the results produced in eight
hours and a half by three 32-pounder guns could
not be produced in half an hour by a fire of greater
rapidity and of twenty times that weight of metal.
No breaching battery that ever was constructed is
at all equal to the fire of a line-of-battle ship, but,
on the other hand, a land battery is far more pro-
tected from the fire of the enemy ; and the question
is whether a ship could float long enough under a severe fire from land batteries to silence and de-
stroy them. In the late operations, although the
ships were several times in very critical positions,
from running on the ground within range of the
enemy's red-hot balls, none of them appear to have
suffered materially ; and, though the Admiral was
compelled to order the Penelope to throw her guns
overboard, which was done with great presence of
mind, he probably relied on the probability of re-
covering them when the Aland Isles were in our
own possession. Upon the whole, this experiment
is not only highly satisfactory and honourable to
all those who were engaged in it, but it leads us to
anticipate more important achievements. The
season is still long enough to admit of further en-
terprises upon the Russian coast ; the allied forces
ars now on the spot, and within a few hours' sail
of any point in the Baltic ; and we hope to learn
that the allied commanders are taking steps to pur-
sue that career of success which has been opened
by the fall of Bomarsund.—Times.

TEE NURSES FOB THE SICK AND

WOUNDED.

The Semaphore of Marseilles pays them the fol-
lowing compliment :
"Miss Nightingale possesses all that could render ex-
istence
happy and brilliant. Young, handsome, and
wealthy, she has chosen a life of abnegation and self-
denial, and, after having presided over one of those
institutions in London, of which the idea was
suggested by a true spirit of Christianity, her
feelings of charity still more excited by the
details of the sufferings of the sick and wounded
soldiers in the hospital of Scutari, she has chosen as
a new sphere of action a place where glory is pur-
chased by the severest privations. Nothing could deter
her, and at this moment the Vectis is conveying her to
the East. She and her companions will find there
theirfield of battle in the hospital wards and ambulances,
where their sex so well qualifies them to fill a dangerous
though heroic position. C..pt. Powell, the commander of
the Vectis, received those ladies with perfect courtesy,
the officers and crew vied with each other in their atten-
tion in conducting them to the places reserved for them
wits all the respect due to their sex and their affecting

mission,"

THE CAPE.--Our files of Cape papers to the end of
August, brought by her Majesty's ship Dee, report that
affairs in the colony are progressing quietly, but the
want of labour of every description is severely felt. The
colony could readily absorb thousands of labourers and
attifisers. The copper mines were expected to attract
a good many ; and it was reported that convict labour
was to be sent out to form a new port at East London ;
and, it is said, if this was received by the colonists, the
British Government were willing to expend 30,0001. in
improving the port. There is said to be a deficiency of
about 30,0001. in the finances of the colony.
A NEW MEANS OF MARINE COMMUNICATION.—The
sailors are finding out a new method of giving notice of
their disasters or progress. Captain Gookin, of the ship
Richmond, now at Boston, caught on the 15th, at 8
a m,, in lat. 31 10, long. 89 50, a large booby, having a
tally round its neck, marked " Schr. Rose, Ruddly, from

THE WAR IN ASIA.

The latest from Asia is that Mustapha Pacha is
busy reorganising the Kars army. He has reduced
his regiments to about one-half of their original
strength. Baron Schwarzenberg is general inspec-
tor of the cavalry, part of which is employed
against the bands of robbers which infest the sur-
rounding country. The artillery is brought into
order, and consists of 60 field-pieces, and 20 posi-
tion guns. A corps of 40,000 Russians was ex-
pected at Gurnri.

AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, OCT. 28.
M. von der Pfordten is expected to arrive here
this evening from Berlin. M. von Beust, we are
told, will not accompany the Bavarian Prime
Minister hither--an arrangement which will doubt-
less be found perfectly convenient. Some people,
who pretend to be well informed, say that Prussia
has agreed to send, jointly with Austria, another
final summons to St. Petersburg. On the other
hand, it is said that M. von der Pfordten has posi-
tively done some good at Berlin, and that the
practical and probable result of his endeavours
will be that Prussia and the Germanic Confedera-
tion will agree with Austria to add a supplementary
article to the treaty of the 20th of April, which
will satisfy the Vienna Cabinet, if it embrace, as
we hope it will, an irrevocable pledge as regards
the " four points," and something to boot. In a
day or two I hope to be able to give you further
information hereon.

At this moment (cis p.m.) I learn that Prince
Gortschakoff has received intelligence from the
Crimea, to the effect that early on the morning of
the 19th the second French division of infantry
stormed and gained possession of the cemetery im-
mediately outside the town of Sebastopol. Further
particulars I know not.
The Ost _Deutsche Post (which journal preceded
its contemporaries in the publication of the Aus-
trian note of the 30th September, addressed to the
Cabinet of Berlin) has to-day a rather remarkable
article, which represents the actual position of the
Austrian Cabinet with much clearness. The writer
says that two courses are open to Austria in
taking a scare in the satisfactory solution of the
Oriental qaestion. The first would be an alliance
with the Western Powers ; and this would be the
easiest and most inviting course. The second con-
sists in a general and sincere understanding with
all Germany ; and this is the course that Austria
would willingly have taken, as one prescribed to her
by her regard for Germany and German interests,
which she has ever defended, being convinced
that if she entered into a war with Russia, with-
out a prev.ous understanding with Germany, the
latter coull not hope to maintain a strict neutra-
lity.
The Austrian Correspondence has the following
telegraphic despatch
" FLogErrcE, Oct. 25.—1 n accordance with a
grand ducal decree, of the 21st inst., the seduction
of the soldiers belonging to the Tuscan and Aus-
trian .auxiiaries by civilians will be punished by
imprisonment
in three months' to three years'
in times o: peace, and in war tune by from four to
six years' imprisonment ; and intending deserters
to the eneny will be shot."

CORN EXCHANGE.
The supply of English wheat on offer here to-day was
tolerably good, and chiefly the refuse of Monday's market.
As the attendance of buyers was but moderate, the demand
for all kinds was very inactive, at barely stationary prices.
Foreign wheat—the show of which was by no means ex-
tensive—moved off heavily, and the quotations were almost
nominal.
The barley trade was heavy, and prices were again rather
lower.
Malt was quito as dear as last week.
The oat trade was steady, but wo have no change to
notice in prices.
Beans and peas were held at Monday's currency; but
most kinds of flour were lower to purchase.

THE FLOATING BATTERIES.

It is stated that Government has entered into a con-
tract for the manufacture of about 2,000 tons (worth
50,0001.) of enormous slabs or plates made of the best
scrap iron, with which powerful floating batteries are to
be covered, so as effectually to render them proof against
the heaviest shot the Russians can throw. These plates
vary from II to 12 feet in length, are from 21 to 36 inches
broad, and about ft inches thick. Each plate will weigh
from about a ton and a half to upwards of three toils ;
and, after being fitted, they are to be bolted to the out-
side of the floating batteries. From experiments it ap-
pears that iron plates of the scantling here mentioned
not only resist the heaviest shot, but break them in pieces
when they strike. So urgent are the authorities to have
the batteries ready for active operations against Russia
in the spring, that the contract has been divided amongst
the principal makers in Gl.sgow, Newcastle, Low Moor,
and other places in the north of England.
The death of Rear• Admiral John Leith promotes
Capt. Wm. Conway Courtenay, superintendent of the
Royal Victualling Yard at Gosport, and Naval Hond-
tal at Haslar, to the rank of rear-admiral, and makes
those appointments vacant.
Capt. Kellett is-spoken of as to succeed Capt. Austen
in the Admiralty Packet-office, at Southampton.

The officers and men of the Royal Clarence Victual-
ling Establishment, Gosport, under the superintendence
of Capt. Courtenay, have each subscribed handsomely
towards the Patriotic Fund. The staff of the establish.
ment is but a small one, but up to yesterday upwards of
241. was put down. The officers and men of the Royal
Naval Hospital Establishment at Haslar, also under the
superintendence of Capt. Courtenay, have in like man-
ner subscribed a day's pay towards the fund. By the
death of Rear-Admiral John Leith, the command of
both these important naval posts becomes vacant, Cap-
tain-Superintendent Courtenay having attained his flag.
He will leave a general feeling of regret behind. The
Clarence-yard is in full operation night and day to meet
the demands of the war. There were upwards of 14,500
bags of biscuit alone in store yesterday. The Walmer
Castle, hired transport, was completed yesterday with a
full cargo of victualling supplies from the Clarence stores
for the depot at Malta, and the Robert Small arrived
yesterday and cxnmenced loading with a similar cargo
for the same destination.

IPSWICH-OCT. 31.

A larger attendance of farmers than we have seen since
harvest, and a larger supply of both wheat and barley.
There is a disinclination on the part of buyers to go on pur-
chasing at anything like late prices, and to effect sales a
reduction of 5s to 6s per qr. on wheat and 2s to 3s per qr.
on barley was submitted to, with much of the latter un-
sold. Beans and peas at nominal prices.

We had a very small supply of English wheat. Farmers
very reluctantly yielded to any reduction, while the few

very limited show of foreign wheat. We note no altera-
tion in the value from this clay week, though to push sales
2s to 3s less money would have had to be taken. Spring
corn in good demand, at the full currency of last market
day. Linseed very firm. Linseed cake in good demand
at hardening prices. Rape cakes improve in value. In

THE FRENCH EMBASSY.

The announcement that the band of the French Im•
perial Regiment, " Les Guides," would perform from one
to four o'clock yesterday, in the gardens of Albert-gate
House, the residence of the French Embassy, had the
effect of attracting to the vicinity a very large concourse
of persons, among whom were included most of the lead-
ing personages at present in London. The Minister of
War, the Duke 9f Newcastle, and the Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs, the Earl of Clarendon, paid the
Countess the compliment of a visit, and nearly the whole
of the Foreign Ministers were present. The park was
crowded from an early hour, and, as the afternoon ad-
vanced, the road became almost impassable from the
numbers assembled. A double line of carriages, filled
with elegantly-dressed company, moved to and fro dur-
ing the performances, the occupants appearing not the
least interested of the spectators.
The band commenced playing shortly after one o'clock.
The selection consisted of adaptations from all the most
popular operas, and the excellence of the varied per-
formances was acknowledged by frequent and loud ac-
clamations from the crowd. At half-past three the
French national hymn, "Partant pour la Syrie," was
played with admirable precision. The crowd was stilled
during its execution, but at the conclusion of this charm-
ing air the applause was most vociferous and general, and

enthusiasm of the crowd again burst forth in still
greater force, and the applause did not case until after
the band had retired from the garden.

Among the guests of the Countess, conspicuous on
the balconies overlooking the mansion, were the Duchess
of Inverness, the Countess of Clarendon, the Earl and
Countess Granville, Viscount and Viscountess Har-
dinge, the Minister of Portugal and Madame la Com-
tesse de Lavradio, the Minister of Hanover and the
Countess Helen Kielmansegge, the Brazilian Minister
and Madlle. de Macedo, the Minister of Spain, the
Turkish Minister and Madame de Musurus, the
Countess of Erroll, and Lady Alice Hay, Lord and
Lady Wodehouse, General and Lady Mary Fox, Mr.
Henry Greville, Mr. Fleming, Lady Caroline Maxse and
Miss Maxse, Lord Ernest Bruce, Lady Harriet Corry
and Miss Corry, Colonel the Hon. D. L. Darner and the
Misses Darner, the Countess Dowager of Sandwich, the
Countess of Tankerville, Lady Ashworth and Miss
Ashworth, Baron de Geer, Count Louis Corti, M. and
Madame Comyn, M. and Madame Pinto de Soveral,
Chevalier Mendoza, Count Karolyi, Hon. Mrs. A.
Villiers, Mr. Algernon West, Mr. Lumley, &c.
There were
.a great many distinguished persons in the
crowd outside, and among the rest we were glad to ob-
serve the Chief Justice of England, looking, apparently,
younger than ever.
The crowd of equipages and pedestrians did not sepa-
rate until some time after the band had retired.

COUNTRY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL-Om 31.

At this morning's market there was a fair attendance of
town and country dealers, who bought very sparingly of
wheat and flour, at a decline of 8d per 701bs, and 2s per
sack and barrel upon last Tuesday's prices. Oats of fine
quality brought previous rates. Beans and peas is per qr.
lower, and barley on easier terms. Indian corn in fair re.
quest, at a reduction of 2s per qr.

have fortified this position as well as that of Cape
Chersonese. By this proceeding the besieging of
the fortress was of course procrastinated, and
during the preparations the Russians did not re-
main idle. They have strongly fortified the church-
yard situated between the town and the ruins of
Chersonese, and by these improvisated entrench-
ments forced the allies to move only-step by step.

GOLDEN SWORDS PRESENTED TO GENE-
RALS URSUSOFF AND WESSELICKI
" FOR BRAVERY."

The Kalisch correspondent of the Lloyd says :
" As to the doings of the 18th and 19th inst. at
Sebastopol, sanguinary days on both sides, and
without result—no official information has yet
been published here. Generals Ursusoff and
Wesselioki have received golden swords, set with
brilliants, with the inscription " For bravery."

THE DANUBE.

It appears certain, says the Wanderer of Vienna,
that the rumour of the Russians having re-entered
the Dobrudscha is without foundation. The
rumour took its origin in the fact that several
bodies of light infantry had from time to time
crossed the Danube, apparently to see what was
going on, and after having advanced as far as Ba-
badagh had again. withdrawn. General Gortscha-
koff does not appear to have any other object than
to hold the left bank of the Danube, and to protect
strongly his left wing which is supported by the
river.

Tho Hospodar of Moldavia, Prince Ghika, will
make his solemn entry into that capital on the 3d
of November, which will be the anniversary of tl;te
day on which he quitted it last year.
Letters from Jassy confirm the news of the arri-
val of the Grand Dukes Michael and Nicholas at
the head-quarters of Prince Gortschakoff and
Kicheneff. They have brought to the Prince his
nomination to the post of commander-in-chief of
the forces of New Russia.
The new administrative council of Wallachia,
appears to give general satisfaction to the Walla-

THE WAR IN ASIA.

The latest from Asia is that Mustapha Paella is
busy reorganising the Kars army. He has reduced
his regiments to about one-half of their original
strength. Baron Schwarzenberg is general inspec-
tor of the cavalry, part of which is employed
against the bands of robbers which infest the sur-
rounding country. The artillery is brought into
order, and consists of 60 field-pieces, and 20 posi-
tion guns. A. corps of 40,000 Russians was ex-

STATE 01! TRADE.

MANCIIESTISII2 Oct. 31.—The cloth-market is flat
and discouraging. Prices continue to decline, and
there is much irregularity, those who cannot hold their
goods manifesting much uneasiness. More attention is
directed every day to the propriety of curtailing produc-
tion, and at Stockport manufacturers have set a good
example by limiting work to 22 hours per week. In
the yarn-market sales to manufacturers are, of course,
materially checked by this resort to short time, and
prices are in favour of the buyer. The Greek houses are
doing a little in extra twist; and German houses are also
buyers at low pricey. Spinners and manufacturers have
been disposed to take less to secure sales, but some of the
offers have been of a character very discouraging. Of
two of the leading foreign markets the circular of
Messrs. Stagg and Co. says :—"The advices from India
and China to hand yesterday are again if a very dis-
couraging character, and buyers ter those markets are
less than ever disposed to operate. The prices quoted
for shirtings, jaconots, aid madapollams are only nomi-
nal—all seems to depend on the position of sellers, and
great irregularity is the reault. In other descriptions
there is no change since this day week."
LIEEDS, Oct. 31.—The attendance of buyers in the
cloth-halls this morning was rather larger, and more
business has been done than on this day week. A fair
amount of cloth in the balk state has been sold, and the
aspect of the trade is as good as can be expecte. There
has been a large supply of wheat at the corn-market
to-day—the largest, in fact, since the harevest ; and,
although offered at close upon Bs. per quartr lower
than on this day week, purchases were not very freely
