LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1854.

Official accounts from Constantinople of the
sth inst., and the Crimea of the 3d, which ap-
peared in our impression of. yesterday, announce
that "50 heavy guns, 650 sailors, and 2,00 e
marines had been landed from the fleet at Bala

klava ;" and that " the English army was dos(
to Sebastopol, which was invested on the south,
and that batteries of heavy guns had been con-
structed." The Allied Armies had, it appears,
advanced their trenches to within 1,500 yards of
SebaStopol, and a general feeling prevailed among
French and English that a general assault would
be made on the Bth instant, that would transfer
the Russian stronghold into the hands of the as-
sailants, and accomplish the act alluded to in the
false and fraudulent reports that had been pre
maturely circulated.
Under these circumstances it is more than pro-
bable that the bombardment actually commenced on
the 4th inst., as reported through the Vienna tele-
graph. When all was in readiness for the ter-
rific onslaught, it cannot be supposed that the
work of destruction would be unnecessarily pro-
crastinated. And from what we already know of
the effect produced by the French and British
artillery on the granite fortifications at Bomar-
rand, we can easily conceive the awful effect of a
bombardment from a far more powerful force—.
continued unceasingly for four or five days. On
the one side, we see troops flushed with the bril-
liant victory they had already achieved—those
who.were in the rear, on the glorious 20th of
September, burning with martial enthusiasm to
Prove themselves worthy companions of the
men who so freely shed their blood in
that sanguinary
encounter, and to acquirt,
similar laurels. Some of our jolly tars, too,
who were Pining under comparative inaction, and
eager to share the dangers of their brethren of
the land service, have been allowed to participate
in the work, and we cannot doubt that their ex-
ploits will be worthy of commemoration, while
the gallant Marines, who have always proved
themselves equally efficient in either branch, or
on either element, have had their Prayers granted,
and been allowed another opportunity of dis-
tinguishing themselves. Our noble Allies, too
actuated by a friendly emulation, will
maintain
the ancient reputation acquired in many well_ ,
fought battles, recently enhanced by conduct that
will bear comparison with the most brilliant ex-
ploits of their illustrious progenitors. What have
such men to fear from opponents paralysed by defeat
—and such a defeat, where a position, which they
fancied could be held.for at least three weeksagainst
eighty thousand men, was taken in less than three
hours by less than tv,enty thousand ? Disheart-
ened as they have been, and knowing that there
are many among them who had been ruthlessly
dragged from their homes and compelled to join
the ranks of those with whom they had no sym-
pathies in common, to fight under a standard they
detested, and who would gladly hail the triumph j

SIGHT OF 3IEMBTRS TO INSPECT DOCUMENTS BELONGING

TO. THE CORPORATION.
Mr. MURRELL said he had a question to ask of very con-
siderable importance to every member of the court. Their
55th standing order was—'' Every member of this court
now has, and always has had, the right to inspect the
books and papers belonging to the corporation, save and
except such as may be under the consideration of any of
the committees." He (Mr. Murrell) being desirous of in-
specting oue of the leases granted by the corporation with
reference to a matter which he expected before the court
that day, had made the necessary application to the officer
having charge of the document, who informed him that he
could not show it him as a member of the corporation in
his individual capacity. He therefore wished to ask whe-
ther, under that standing order, he, as a member of that
corporation, was not entitled to inspect the document to
which he had referred ? (Hear.)
The RECORDER (after consultation with the Lord Mayor
and Town Clerk) said—My attention has not been called
to this matter before the last few minutes, and having had
no time to consider it, I should be very unwilling to bind
myself by any opinion. But the question raises a matter
of very considerable difficulty. On the one hand, no doubt,
under these rules, any member of the court has the right
to inspect all the public documents of the corporation. On
the other hand, it is quite clear that it cannot have been
intended to give an opportunity to members of the corpo-
ration which other parties have not, to look at those docu-
ments for private purposes. (Hear, hear.) As the docu-
ment to which reference has been made may be considered
to refer to the title of a private individual, I am not at
this moment prepared to say it is clear under this order
that every member of the corporation has a right to look
at it. (Hear, hear.) It is a question upon which I should
wish to be better advised before giving an answer.
The Louß MAYOR said that, although the learned Re-
corder had made a guarded answer to the question that had
been put to hiin, he (the Lord Mayor) considered that he
should not be acting right if he did not give his unhesitating
Opinion as to what he considered to be the rights of a mem-
ber of the court. He conceived it to be the undoubted
right of every member of the Common Council to see every
document that he in his corporate capacity wished to look
at, whether the lease of premises or any other paper con-
nected with the affairs of the corporation. (Hear.)

AUSTRIA:

VIENNA, Oct. 9.—A telegraphic despatch, dated
Czernowitz, the Bth, was received here this
morning. L apprised us that General Baron

and that these important places had been occu-
pied by the Austrians ; and finally, it informed
omlptletaell
us that Prince G-ortschakoff's head-quarters had
been already removed to Odessa. This latter
piece of information will of course require con-
firmation ; bet to a certain extent it is corrobo-
rated by advices from Odessa of the 3d and sth
inst., which state that General Osten-Sacken
has received the command-in-chief of the Rus-
sian forces in the Crimea, and that Prince
Menschikoff has received orders to confine
his command to the defence of . Sebastopol. If
this be true—and there is no reason to doubt
it—then the probability of the removal of
Prince Gortschakoff's head-quarters to Odessa is
apparently strengthened by the supposition that
the defence of the Crimea, even after the expected
fall of Sebastopol, may have been determined
upon at St. Petersburg, and consequently this
greater concentration of the Russian forces near
the isthmus of that peninsular may be deemed ne-
cessary.
The Neue Preussische Zeitung, vulgo Krentz
Zeitung, of yesterday, was confiscated by the
authorities on its arrival here this morning. It
is understood to contain an article which is not only
in the highest degree offensive to the Austrian
Governtnent, but downright insulting also to the
Emperor Francis Joseph personally. And for
what reason do you suppose ? Incredible, but
true ! Because his Majesty the Emperor of Aus-
tria is supposed to have instructed Count Buol
cordially to congratulate the Western Powers on
their victory on the Alma, both through their re-
presentatives here, and the Austrian ambassadors
at London and Paris. 0 tempora 1 0 mores 1

THE WOUNDED OF TUE ALMA.

The following letter appears in a contemporary : I
" Sir, —lt appears from all aceouots that the sick and
wounded of our army in the East are not adequately pro-
vided for, and, although the military authorities have
doubtless made every exertion to alleviate the sufferings
and supply the wants of our brave men, that much re-
mains to he done.
"I would suggest, therefore, the immediate exercise of
private benevolence. 10,0001. might be raised iu
week.
"I enclose a cheque for 2001., and a like subscription
from forty or fifty others would at once provide the ne•
cessary funds. A committee of five might be appointed
to superintend the purchive of a few comforts, and, as
delay would, of course, much lessen the value of the e it,
in ten days, with success, a favourable opportunity might
present itself for despatching these to the hospitals .f
Constantinople or Sebastopol ; and each individual con-
tributing might thus have the satisfaction of testifying
to some extent his gratitude and admiratio,, for the bril-
liant courage and discipline with which our soldiers have
not only sustained but almost eclipsed the ancient repu-
, tation and character of the British army.
" I have no doubt Messrs. Drummond would kindly
consent to receive subscriptions for the purpose, and I
earnestly appeal to the liberality of others.
" I remain, Sir, yours faithfully,
" ROBERT FEEL.

RUSSIA.

By our advices received this morning, we learn
that the Emperor of Russia has expressed great
dissatisfaction with the measures adopted by Prince
Menschikoff previous to the battle of the Alma.
It appears that the Prince ordered the 15,000 re-
serves from Balaklava, to reinforce his position on
the heights of the Alma., ;4n d among the results of
that battle must be reckoned the advantage which
accrued to the allies from the fact of Balak-
lava having been left unprotected. The move-
ment of the allied commanders-in-chief round
to the south of Sebastopol, it is argued at St.
Petersburg, might have been successfully frustrated,
or at least greatly impeded, if the aforesaid 15,000
reserves had not been withdrawn from Balaklava ;
and hence the reported dissatisfaction with Prince
Menschikoff, and his deposal from the supreme
command of the whole of the Crimea.
The movements of Russian troops that are now
taking place in Poland are understood to have
peculiar reference to Austria, and as the direction
of any troops towards the Crimea would now be too
late to have any influence on its destiny, it may be
assumed that the following dispositions have refer-
ence both to Austria and to the possibility of the
Turks making an inroad into Bessarabia :
The Grenadier regiment (Feldmarschall Suwaroff)
and two regiments of Chasseurs (Kutusov, Smo-
lenski and Wielkiluki) advanced, under the com-
mand of General Wrangel (3), on the 2d instant,
from Warsaw to Kielce, fifteen leagues north of
Cracow, and occupy an entrenched camp there.
The three Grenadier regiments, Alexandrowisch,
Wurtemberg, and Katharinenburg, have entered
the great fortified camp at Rachou, on the right
bank of the Vistula. The camp at Kielce seems to
be selected as the pivot for the Russian dispositions
towards the West.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Oct. 9.—A telegraphic despatch, dated
Czeruowitz the Bth, was received here this I
morning,. It apprised us that General Baron
Hess was expected there to:day, coming from
Jassy, and probably on his intended return

and that these important places had been occu-

THE LORD MAYOR ELECT.

The letter was ordered to be entered on the minutes of

CROWDED STATE OF LONDON-BRIDGE.
Sir J. DUKE asked the chairman of the Bridge-house
Committee (Mr. J. Bailey) whether, ou account of the
almost iui passable state of London-bridge, and the daily in-
creasing traffic over it, any determ:nation had been come
to upon the subject of the project of constructing footpaths
outside the parapets of the bridge, and converting the ex-
sting pavement into carriage way?
Mr. J. BAILEY said that the matter had been referred
to Sir J. Rennie and Mr. Page, whose report would be
laid before the committee on the following day, and forth-
with presented to the court.
THE NEW CATTLE MARKET AT COPENHAGEN-FIELDS.
Mr. H. L. TAYLOR, the chairman of the Markets Im-
provement Committee, brought up a report recommending
the raising by bonds on the City's revenue 143,2:t1i., the
remaining sum required for the purposes of the new cattle
market.
The report was unanimously agreed to.
Mr. LLOYD—When is it contemplated that the market
will be completed ?
Mr. H. L. TAYLOR—I have great satisfaction in answer-
ing that question. It cannot be too well known that we
hope to get the market opened byChristmas next. (Hear.)
Mr. LLOYD—And will the expense of it exceed the esti-
mate ?
Mr. H. L. TAYLOR—I believe that the works contem-
plated in the expense and in the report to which the
court agreed will be either within or about the estimate,
hut if there should be works beyond those contem-
plated in the report, of course there will be additional
cost.
Deputy LOTT—Have the committee come to any deter-
mination as to altering the market-day from Monday to

uesday ?
Mr. li. L. TAYLOR—There will be a report upon the

not say at the present moment how the committee have

STEAM-BOAT ACCOMMODATION AT THE SOUTH-EASTERN
London, England, 1854-10-13

The Valorous, paddle, Captain Buckle, is over on the
west shore at Sheerness. Yesterday she slipped her moor-
ings and proceeded up the Medway to the coal hulk to take
in coals. Orders vere received some days back that she is
not to take the Artillery out, in lieu of which some eight
or ten surgeons are to proceed in her. She is ordered to
the seat of war in the East, and we understand Saturday
next will be the day she will sail. She has all her provi-
sions, stores, and an excellent crew on board.
The Curlew, revenue-cutter, Commander Morgan, is in
Sheerness harbour; she has, however, we understand, re-
ceived orders to sail for Ireland; Kilrush is her future
station.
The Athol], store•ship, havin; repaired her copper and
defects, will go out of dock at Portsmouth on Friday, and
will complete her fittings in the sea basin.
No. 13 and No. 22 transports arrived at Spithead yes.
terday afternoon.
The Sindbad lighter was taken down from Deptford on
Wednesday evening, and taken into dock at Woolwich, to
be fitted.for carrying a 13 inch mortar.
The Otter paddle-wheel steam-vessel, Lieutenant William
J. A. Heath, arrived at Woolwich about noon. on Wednes-
day from the Baltic, and again went down the river a short
distance to enable the engineers of the factory department
to report on the state of her engines.
The Widgeon steam-vessel left Woolwich yesterday morn-
ing with ten men of the crew of the Black Eagle, and 26 of
the novices of the Fisgard, for Greenhithe, to assist in
taking a further supply of stores on board the Prince screw
steam-transport. She also takes out a large supply of
specie, for the payment of the British army in the Crimea.
The Widgeon returned to Woolwich, where she received
orders to proceed up to Deptford and return to Woolwich
by 1 o'clock, to assist in conveying a portion of the 46th
Regiment of Foot from the Essex side of Woolwich to
Greenhithe. The Monkey steam-vessel, Second-Master
Syndercombe, the Zephyr, the Wildfire, the Ann lighter,
and Staunch barge proceed at 2 o'clock p.m. to take on
board the five companies of the 46th Regiment expected at
the pier at North Woolwich from Windsor. The men em-
barked in the steamers about half-past 2 o'clock, and
cheered heartily as they proceeded down the river to em-
bark in the Prince, at Greenhithe, whore one of the com-
panies had preceded them on the previous day.

TACKSON'S PATENT PREPARATION for
tthe PR EsERVATION of POTATOES, SEEDS, Roc.—This
valuable discovery, for which Letters Patent have been obtained, is
the result of fourteen ye ;re' study and experiments in tho preserva-
tion of vegetable matters. It imparts health and vigour to the Plants

LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1854.

Official accounts from Constantinople of the
sth inst., and. the Crimea of the 3d, which ap-

peared in our impression of yesterday, announce
that "50 heavy guns, 650 sailors, and 2,000
marines had been landed from the fleet at Bala-

hiava ;" and that " the English army was close
to Sebastopol, which was invested on the south,
and that batteries of heavy guns had been con-
structed." The Allied. Armies had, it appears,
advanced their trenches to within 1,500 yards cf

Sebastopol, and a general feeling prevailed among
French and English that a general assault would
be made on the Bth instant, that would transfer
the Russian stronghold into the Lands of the as-
sailants, and accomplish the act alluded to in the
false and fraudulent reports that bad been pre-
maturely circulated.
Under these circumstances it is more than pro-
bable that the bombardment actually commenced on
the 4th inst., as reported through the Vienna tele-
graph. When all was in readiness for the ter-
rific onslaught, it cannot be supposed that the
work of destruction would be unnecessarily pro-
crastinated. And from what we already know of
the effect produced by the French and British
artillery on the granite fortifications at Bomar-
sund, we can easily conceive the awful effect of a
bombardment from a far more powerful force—
continued unceasingly for four or five days. On
the one side, we see troops flushed with the bril-
liant victory they had already achieved—those
who Were in the rear, on the glorious 20th of
September, burning with martial enthusiasm to
prove themselves worthy companions of the
men who so freely shed their blood in
that sanguinary encounter, and to acquire
similar laurels. Some of our jolly tars, too,
who were pining under comparative inaction, and
eager to share the dangers of their
brethren of
the land service, have been ll a owed to participate
in the rork, and we cannot doubt
that their ex-
ploits will be worthy of comme •
moration, while
the gallant Marines, who have always proved
themselves equally efficient in either branch, or
on either element, have had their prayers granted,
and been allowed another opportunity of dis-
tinguishing themselves. Our noble Allies, tco,
actuated by a friendly emulation, will maintain
the ancient reputation acquired in many well-
fought battles, recently enhanced by conduct that
will bear comparison with the most brilliant ex-
ploits of their illustrious progenitors. What have
such men to fearfronfopponents paralysed by defeat
._and such, a defeat, where a position, which they
fancied could be heldfor at least three weeks against
eighty thousand men, was talen in less than three
hours by less than twenty thousand l Disheart-
ened as they have been, and knowing that there
are many among them who had been ruthlessly
dragged from their homes and compelled to join
the ranks of those with whom they had no sym-
pathies in common, to fight under a standard they
detested, and who would gladly hail the triumph

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Oct. 10.—The Cabinet of Berlin, it is
said, at llrst hesitated as to whether it ought to
give a reply to the note of the Vienna Cabinet of
the 30th ult. It was thought that it would be
better not to reply, as it was clear it would not
alter the line of policy of Austria, and that a
reply exposing again the views of the Prussian
Cabinet might easily appear calculated to exer-
cise too strong an influence upon the other Ger-
man States. It was, however, finally decided
that a reply should be made. In a few days it will
leave Berlin. The Austrian note of the 30th of
September, in reply to the Prussian note of the 21st,
however, is not the only or the most energetic of
the communications of the Cabinet of Vienna.
There exists a circular dated the Ist of Oct., ad-
dressed to the German Governments, accompanied
by an expose of the position of Austria towards the
belligerent Powers, and a note bearing also the
date of the Ist of October, by which the Austrian
Minister at Berlin has instructions to communicate
that circular to the Cabinet of Berlin to leave no
doubts_ to Jhe latter as. to the manner in which
Austria pronounces herself vis-a-vis with her Ger-
man confederates. All these documents are, lam

THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.

A number of the crows of the North Star and Talbot
store-ships, amounting altogether to about 50, left Wool-
wich yesterday morning for Sheerness, their leave to come
up to Woolwich to see their friends and their old com-
panions of the crew of the Phoenix having expired on that
day. They all appeared to be in remarkably good health,
although many of them had been in the Arctic regions for
several winters, serving in the Investigator discovery-ship
under Captain Bi`Clure.
The court-martial to be held on board the Waterloo,
120, flagship at Sheerness, on Captain Sir Edward Belcher
and the officers in command, for leaving their ships in the
ice, has been poeiponed until Tuesday next. The court-
martial demanded by Captain Osborne is not likely to take

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

A Vienna letter of the Bth, in the Cologne Gazette,
sa3s a---" It appears certain that the order of march
of the Turkish troops has been changed. Not only
all the troops who had returned from Wallachia to
Bulgaria aro again passing the Danube, and pro-
ceeding by forced marches towards the East, but
the staff of the Turkish flotilla of the Danube has
been transferred from Rustchuk to Hirsowa. It is
said, besides, that in order to facilitate the opera-
tions of Omer Pacha, the bridge of boats which ex-
isted between Giurgevo and Rustchuk, is to be re-
built lower down between Ibrail and Matchin. The
Austrian troops entered Galatz on the 25th Sept.
The Austrian Consul-General of the Principalities,
M. de Michanowich, is to proceed to-morrow to hie
new post at Bucharest."
From Jassy we hear that General Osten-Sacken
has been at Perekop since the 2d, and is awaiting
the arrival of the reinforcements from Odessa, to
advance into the Crimea to the assistance of Prince
Menschikoff ; but it does not seem very probable
that he will be enabled to do so before the middle
of the month.

OPERATIONS AGAINSTSIMPHEROPOL

The Soldiers' Friend of Vienna, of the 16th,
says :—" Several letters from Odessa inform us
that the Bus:naps keep themselves strictly on
the defensive at Sebastopol, and that they feel
great uneasiness at the operations which may
be directed from Eupatoria. It is said that Prince
Monschikoff has pointed out to tke Government of
St. Petersburg the dangers which threaten his
army and the fortress from this point, and that he
has declared that he was not in a state to resist
any considerable offensive operation directed from
Eupatoria against Simpheropol. General Osten-
Sacken was, in consequence, charged to fix his
headqnarters at Perekop, and to defend the
isthmus with the troops under his command. The
Allies continue their preparations for an expedi-
tion to some other point ; at Ode" it is expected.
that it will be directed against that place, and at
Varna it was thought that a considerable corps
will be landed at Eupatoria."

THE NEW TREATY.

We have received the following despatch, dated
yesterday, from our correspondent in Berlin
"In the Second Chamber this morning it was
unanimously resolved to throw open the Prussian

with reference to Prussia's joining the treaty of
December 2."

STATE OF AFFAIRS AT SEBASTOPOL.
The Invalide Russe gives the following account cf
the state of affairs before Sebastopol :
" Aide-de-Camp General Prince Menschikoff an-
nounces, under date of the Ist of December, that since
the 27th of November no particular change had taken
p!ace in our position or in that of the enemy. The fire
of the siege batteries is still very weak, as heretofore,
and occasions us scarcely any loss. The enemy. con-
tinues to fortify the defences of his position.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Deo. 18.—Some idea may be formed of
the extremes to which the Russian organs here and
at Vienna carry their wild attempts to give false
colourings to acts and facts, by their having bandied
from one to the other an absurd report of the Allies
being occupied in re-embarking their battering
train, and thence preparing to abandon or post-
pone operations against Sebastopol.
The remarks openly made on Friday night in
the British Parliament, upon the brutal murder of
British wounded soldiers by Russians, has stung
the Russian party to the quick, and none show
themselves more vexed than that portion of Ger-
man diplomacy who rank as Russia's German
subjects.
Their Majesties gave the usual full-dress banquet
this afternoon at Potsdam, in honour of the Em-
peror Nicholas's name-day. The members of
the Royal family, Ministers, and high Court func-
tionaries, with the whole of the Russian Legation,
of both sexes, Were invited.
The banquet given yesterday by M. de Budberg,
in the state apartments of the Russian Legation)
is said to have been unusually splendid.
