LONDON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1854.

It is positively announced that at a Cabinet
Ciuncil held at Berlin, on Thursday last, it was
(kcided that Prussia shoull join in the new Treaty
between Austria and the Western Powers, and in
which her co-operation was specially invited,
"stipulating for the concession of certain advantages
in the North Sea and the Baltic." And are France
and England so far fallen as to listen to such
insolent propositions ? We use the term "inso-
lent" advisedly and deliberately. It might have
been even stronger to express anything like the
real extent of the presumptuous audacity that

GENERAL ORDER.

"The Commander of the Forces cannot pass no.
noticed the attack, on the night of the 20th inst., of a
detachment of the Ist battalion of the Rifle Brigade,
under Lieut. Tryon, upon the advanced posts of the
enemy, which had been pushed forward so as to enfilade
the English trenches, and taste in reverse those of the
French troops.
"The advance was made in the most spirited and de-
termined manner, and was completely successful ; and
though several vigorous attempts were afterwards made
by the enemy to dislodge the gallant band, they utterly
failed, and the ground remains in our possession.
"Lieut. Tryon, whose conduct was most conspicuous,
was unfortuitately kilied, and several valuable soldiers
shared the same fate. _ _

"The General-in Chief of the French army so highly
prized the achievement, that he published a general
order eulogising the conduct of the detachment, and
paying a just tribute to the officer who led it."

The gabions having been all consumed on the 25th,
he following was issued :--
GENERAL ORDER.

The Brigade o,v Guards will send a detachment of 200
men, with officers' in proportion, to the neighbourhood
of the Monastery o f St. George to' make gabions.- They
will march soon after daybreak to-morrow morning,
with them ttheir camp equipage. The commis-
of the Ist Divi.iion will arrange for the provisioning
commis-
sary
this party."

0 wing to the badn, tee of the roads, the following order
was issued on the sane day :
"In consequence the state of the roads, and the
death of many of the transport animals, the con3missa-,
rirt is unable to convey to the camp the requisite sup-
plies of forage. Reginx.ents and staff•offieers must avail
themselves of their own resources to 2ring up from Bala-
klava rations for their howses, for which they will obtain
a cheque from the corm n issariat attached to their bri-
gades."

VOLUNTEERS FOR THE EAST.

Yesterday morning, at eight a.m., the usually quiet
streets of Sheerness were disturbed by a cavalcade of sol-
diers proceeding on their way to the pier, to go on board
the Nymph steamer. We found, however, that the greater
portion of them merely accompanied their companions—
to bid a farewell adieu to 25 volunteers from the artillery
hero, who go to Woolwich to join a corps proceeding, we
understand, very soon to the seat of war in the East. We
noticed only ono officer, and that was Liout. Tucker (son
of Captain Tucker, captain superintendent of her Majesty's
dockyard here), who accompanies these brave fellows.

rom Cape IBaba, with news to the 16th. The ope-
,
• rations of the allied troops were continuing. The
garrison of Sebastopol, soldiers and sailors, was
estimated at 25,000 men. The road which goes
from OfApe Baba to Sebastopol is perfectly practi-
cable for the conveyance of artillery. Near Cape
Baba the establishment of a place d'armes, pro-
.,
visionally protected by gabions, has been com-
menced ; and hospitals and supplies are to be placed
there. The vessels conveying the siege artillery
arrived on the 16th in view of Buurliuk ; the
troops would probably arrive at that place towards
the 18th, and it was on that point that the siege
artillery was to be embarked. The generals-in-
chief of the allied troops have agreed not to pub-
,
• lisp their first bulletin until they shall have arrived
before the walls of Sebastopol. The roadstead in
the neighbourhood of Cape Baba is excellent, and
is sheltered from the north winds. English and
French boats are already on the lake near Eupa-
,
to:ria."

A letter from Varna of the 16th, in the Lloyd
a Vienna, says The fleet of transports has
been arriving the whole of yesterday and to-day
from the coast of the Crimea with interesting de-
tails of the promising commencement of the ex-
pedition. When a portion of the division com-
nu aided by Prince Napoleon landed near Eupa-
to ria, a Russian detachment attempted to prevent
the allied troops from advancing ; but the latter
immediately formed into columns and charged the
enemy ; a part of the English division, under the
command of General Brown, supported this ma-
numit-re. But the Russians did not wait for their
adversaries, and withdrew withoutaccepting battle.
The troops then began to entrench themselves, and
took up a furtified position on the lake south ofEu-
patoria. It was said that a landing would be effected
at Balaklava and that then a combined attack would
be made on Sebastopol. In order to cut off all re-
&natives from the Russian army in the Crimea, the
allied troops will occupy in force both Kertch and
Pe rekop. It is said that General Cathcart will be
at the former and General Canrobert at the latter

othe r point of the Crimea and Bessarabia, and the
Mar shal confines himself to forcing the Rtisians to
scatter their forces by causing detachments of the
flees to appear at the same time on differents points
of the coast. Eight transports arrived here yester-
day to take on board the reserve of the expedition.
Troops are daily arriving hero from Bulgaria and
Rou nuelia, which will form the garrison of this im-
portant place and reinforce the reserves. The re-

Extract of a Despatch from General Lord Raglan, G.C.8.,

to the Duke of Newcastle.

Varna, Aug. 29, 18.54.

The embarkation is proceeding rapidly and successfully,
thanks to the able arrangements of Rear-Admiral Sir
Edmund Lyons, and the unceasing exertions of the office, s
and men under his orders. It is impossible for me to ex-
press in adequate terms my sense of the value of the assis-
tenets the Army under my command derives from the
Royal Navy. •
The same feeling prevails from the highest to the lowest;
from Vice-Admiral Dundee to the youngest sailor, an
ardent desire lo co-operate by every possible means is mani-
fest throughout ; and I am proud of being associated with
men who are animated by such a spirit, and aro so entirely
devoted to the service of their country.

Camp above Old Fort Bay, Sept. 18, 1554.
My Lord Duke,—l do myself the honour to acquaint
your Grace, that the combined fleets and their convoys
appeared in the Bay of Eupatoria on the 13th inst , and to
the course of the following night proceeded some miles in
the southward, where the Allied Armies commenced dis-
embarking early in the morning of the 14th,—the
French in the Bay below Old Fort, the English in the next
Bay nearer to Eupatoria—and before dark the whole of
the British Infantry, and some Artillery, and meat of the
French troops, were on shore.

Shortly before dark the weather unfortunately changed,
and it became hazardous to attempt to continue landing
either tamps or guns.
The surf on the beach impeded the operatiOn the follow-
ing morning, and since on more than one occasion ; but.
thaiks to the great exertions of the navy, under the able
and active superintendence of Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund
Lyons, who was charged with the whole arrangement,
every obstacle has been overcome, and I am now enabled
to report to your Grace that the disembarkations have been
completed.
I should not do justice to my own feelings, or to those
of the troops I have the honour to command, if I did not
prominently bring to the knowledge of your Grace the
deep sense entertained by all of the invaluable services
rendered by her Majesty's navy.
The spirit by which both officers and men were ani-
mated made them regardless of danger, of fatigue, and
indeed of every consideration but that of performing an
arduous and important duty; and that duty they dis-
charged to the admiration of all who had the good fortune
to witness their unceasing efforts to land horses and car-
riages, with the utmost expedition and safety, under fre-
quently the most trying circumstances.—l have, &c.

- -
CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 20.—The telegraph will
already have apprised you of the successful landing
of the British and French forces at Kalamita, on
the coast of the Crimea. The great expedition has
disembarked, after a most favourable passage.
9ilere is little of interest to report from Constan-
tinople to-day. M. Aristarchi, the logothete and
ex.-capou-kebaia of the Prince of Wallachia, arrived
here on Sunday last, without the authorisation of
the Ottoman Government. He presented himself
at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but was refused
admittance, and was ordered out of the country the
following day. It will be remembered that this
gentleman played a distinguished part at Constan-
tinople on the arrival of Prince Menschikoff, but
was obliged to fly the country after much unsuc-
cessful intriguing.
The British post-office at Constantinople is over-
whelmed with business, and there is a decided
want of hands. Mr. Smith, the active postmaster-
generals has been ordered up to the Crimea, where
no doubt both he and his junior official (Mr.
Angell) will find plenty to do. In the meanwhile,
the post-office at Constantinople remains in charge
of OW3 clerk.

their clothes so as to take up the entire side of an
omnibus, thus occupying the room designed for eight
and then if another woman presents herself at the door,
they will cry out, 'You can't come in here !—there ain't

LONDONDERRY AND ENNISKILLEN.

The following is an extract from the report of the
directors to be presented at the meeting of the share-
holders this day:—
"The amount, 5,6051. 45., at credit of profit and loss,
is sufficient to pay the usual dividend of 5 per cent. per
annum on the preference shares, which dividend your
directors recommend. This will leave a balance of 1051.
Os. 4d. to be carried over to the current half•year."
"The statement of receipts and expenditure annexed
to the report showed that the receipts had been
1,371,3731. 4s. 11d., and the expenditure 1,358,3931.
14s. 4d., leaving a balance of 12,9791. 10s. 9d. The
earnings of the line for the half-year amounted to
31,9191. ]2s. 3d. Of this sum 10,1661. lls. was pay-
able to the Eastern Counties Company for working ex-
penses, leaving a balance of 11,7531. ls. 2d.

Ponmourn—The half-yearly meeting of shareholders
was held on Thursday, at the offices of the company,
Great GeDrge-street, Westminster, Mr. Ross 11. Mangles
in the chair. Mr. W. C. Horn (the secretary) read the
report, which stated the opinion of the directors, as to the
valuelof the undertaking, remainedunchanged ; and, while
they regretted that circumstances of a nature affecting
all commercial enterprises should have rendered it
prudent to proceed with the work■ less vigorously than
was at first intended, they trusted that pressure had now
passed away, and that they would be enabled to carry
on the undertaking to a speedy and successful issue.
The statement of receipts and expenditure showed that
51,473/. 6s. had been received and 42,967/. 9s. Bd. ex-
pended, leaving a balance of 8,5051. 16s. 4d. After some
discussion the report was adopted ; and a vote of thanks
having been passed to the chairman, the proceedings
terminated.

LIMERICK AND FOYNES RAILWAY.—When harvest
labour will have concluded next month, Mr. Dargan

Limerick and Foynes Railway, now in rapid progress,
and which he engages to have completed by the summer

Railway on Saturday decided that th• first station will
be at Atyflie, near Croom, instead of Patrickswell, as
originally intended and specified in the map.

tion, as a connecting link with the railway communica-
tion of this country. The carriage has been built under

Eastern Counties Railway. It is 26 feet in length, and
8 feet in width. The body of the carriage is painted in
a rich claret, and is tastefully ornamented.

The above aro the names of the Finnish prisoners (officers)

morning they are all ordered to appear at the admiral's
house (Gordon), with the whole of the baggage and effects.
The Russian officers are to remain for the present. The
Finnish officers are all the superior grades; in fact, no
doubt they are in reality gentlemen by birth and educa-
tion. The Russians have riseu from the ranks, and are not
quite so gentlemanly as the others in appearance.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

"Omer Paeha," says the Constitutionnel, " con-
tinues to reside in the town of Bucharest, round
-which he has concentrated from 70,000 to 80,000
men, by ordering there the garrisons of the fortified
towns ofthe Danube. Another body of 26,000 men is
going up the river, and is near Ibrail. This last town,
as well as Galatz, is strongly occupied by the Rus-
sians, who have stopped their movement of re-
treat, alleging that the Austrians had promised
not to allow the Turkish army to enter the
Principalities ; but as these latter troops were
in force, they could not uncover their strategical
line, and abandon the strong position which they
occupy in Moldavia, in face of an enemy who might
take advantage of it to attack them. On the other
hand, the different divisions of the Austrian army
are also occupying Wallachia, so that there results
for the belligerent parties a singular situation, the
denouement of which is looked for with great
anxiety and curiosity."
We read in a letter from Bucharest of the 20th :
—" The Imperial Commissary, Dervish Pacha,
has been authorised by the Ottoman Porte to de-
mand, for the sake of the principle, the payment
of the tribute due to the Porte, but to consent to
any equitable arrangement. The Prussian Consul,
M. Meroni, who was first of all destined fur Galatz,
but was obliged, in consequence of disputes with
Russian commanders, to go to Belgrade, has ar-
rived at Bucharest. All the prine pal municipal
officers in Wallachia have received orders to pub-
lish solemnly, and by beat of drum, the proclama-
tion of General Hess. The General arrived in this
city to-day. He is to pass the troops of the
Turkish camp in review."
Te Wanderer of Vienna states, from Jassy 15th,
that accounts had just reached that place of two
Austrian regiments of Hussars having crossed
the Moldavian frontier at Boshaneze and Pol-
titcheni.

have also been in request, but the refiners not being' dis-
posed to give the prices asked by the importers, the tuns-
actions in working sugars are not large, and in floating car•
goes we are without sales to report. Refiners' produce asill

EAST ANGLIAN.

The half•yearly meeting of proprietors was held yes-
terday at the London Tavern, Mr. Henry Bruce in the
chair.

The report of the directors, showed the statement of
traffic for the half-year ending the 30th of June,
amounted to 21,1651. 12s. 2d. This, on being compared
with the traffic for the same period last year, which
amounted to 19,5031. ss. Bd., shows an increase of
1,6571. 6s. Bd.

The adoption of the report was put from the chair,
and carried unanimously.
On the motion of Mr. Self the following resolution
was agreed to :—" That, on the 14th of October, in-
terest for the half-year ended the 30th of June last,
after the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, be paid to the
proprietors of class B stock who are now duly registered
in respect of the same stock; and to holders of 6 per
cent. shares who shall duly forward to the company's
offices scrip-certificates of the same shares for registra-
tion and conversion into sock."
A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the pro-
ceedings.
