COLLISIONS AT SEA.

TO THE'EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—The melancholy fate of the Arctic steamer re-
minds us of an expedient that has been resorted t• by
seamen of old, to stop a leak of a magnitude similar to
that by which the Arctic foundered.
To stop such a leak, a sail should be brought over it ;
to do this, the bights of two ropes, weighted, should be
passed under the bow and keel and brought to the leak,
one rope abaft it and the other before it. The ends of
the ropes should then be bent to the clews of the sail ;

two ropes should also be bent to the earing cringles.
The sail so prepared should be put overboard ; the ropes
leading under the keel being hauled upon, will bring the
sail into tolerably close contact with the planking
around the leak ; in this position of the sail it can, by
slinging a man and putting him overboard with some
wooden battens of suitable length and substance, Rails
and hammer, be secured around the margin of the leak,
which may be at, or a hale below the water line.
When there are many passengers, as was the case in
the Arctic, they should be sent over to the side, with
weights that can be transported, opposite the leak, so as
to give the vessel a heel, that the leak may be brought
further out of the water for the purpose of securing the
sail. The Arctic was injured on the starboard bow ;
the passengers should have assembled; on the port
quarter.
The leak, as described, being to a great extent
stopped, the damage can he sufficiently repaired, by
planking over all, to enable the vessel to proceed on
her voyage.
From the increase of shipping a collision is of
daily occurrence ; would it not, therefore, be well for
passenger ships to be prepared with some convenient
means for stopping a leak ready for immediate use, in
the event of such an accident as that which has befallen
the Arctic

• ciounvpgEsMßE STAKES.
The Early Bire,s`di:;-whwaid tendency had for the last
two or three weeks been so palpable that his entire dis-
appearance occasioned no surprise. The declaration that
he would not run was received in London at 2.45 p.m.
on Wednesday, the 18th inst. All bets about him after
that time are consequently void. It is suggested by
many of his backers, who thought to "pick up the
worm" with him, that in future he be called the Decoy
Bird.
At the commencement, 5 to 1 was taken about Rattle,
and 6 taa 1 betted against Orinoco ; but after the latter
bad been backed for 751., he advanced to 5 to 1, taken
to upwards of 1501., and was then backed against Rattle
for 500 even, and so strong was the subsequent demon-
stration in his favour that at the close he took up his
position at 9 to 2, whilst Rattle receded to 7 to 1, taken
and offered.
Scherz was in considerable force, and was backed for
some money at 100 to 8 and 12 to 1. Hervine was also
well supported ; at first 20 to 1 was taken to 1001., 500
to 30 was afterwards booked two or three times, and the
last investment was a pony at 15 to 1.
The odds quoted against Helena, Stonehenge, Barrel,
Prime Minister, and the Assayer were taken only to
small sums. Offers to lay 1,000 to 5 against Monie
I Moses.

protectorate might make place to another ar-
rangement more compatible with the interests of
Germany ;" and consent is given that the Federal
Diet shall pronounce itself in this sense in a suit-
able form. Such are the essential contents of the
note.

What is very remarkable is, that a change is
taking place in the views of the German States.
The majority wl4h Prussia couuted upon in the
Diet is daily dwindling away and becoming doubt-
ful ; and if Prussia does not hasten to leave the
Bamberg associates in the lurch, the Bamberg
associates will leave Prussia in the lurch. It is
hoped, however, that these extremes will beavoided,
and that the Federal Diet will find some middle
course which will be made acceptable equally to
Prussia and Austria.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

The Presse says that the Turkish Ambassador at
the Court of Vienna, Arif Effendi, has officially
communicated to the Austrian Cabinet that Omer
Pacha will begin offensive operations against Bes-
sarabia shortly, and will arrive at Bucharest in a
few days, in order to arrange there his plan of attack
with the Imperial generalissimo. It is said that
Lord Raglan has called upon Omer Pacha to hasten
his movements. The Moldavian Secretary of State,
Aleko Sturdza, and Colonel Aleko Mavrody, are
expected to arrive here from Jassy to-day or to-
morrow. The object of their journey is to accom-
pany the Hospodar of Moldavia, Prince Ghika, on
his return to the principality. Baron von Bach
and Dervish Pacha, the Turkish commissioner in
the principalities, will, it is understood, receive
the Prince at Jassy.
The fortifications at Giurgevo are rapidly ap-
proaching completion. They consist of a tete de pont,
three rows of walls, and a broad ditch, provided
with conduits. A fort is to be built early in the
next year. The whole will present a very formi-
dable appearance.
It is announced from Dalmatia that the Governor
of Turkish Bosnia, Dervish Pacha, has gone to
Drobniak, in order to co-operate with Addi Pacha
in the occupation of the Montenegrin frontiers.
He has 20,000 men and thirty pieces of cannon at
his disposal.

LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1854,

Further news from the Crimea. And this time

real "news ;" that is, to say, the information is
carried forward five additional days, and we are
now in possession of advices to the Bth instant,
while those previously received only extended
to the 3d. It will thus be seen that Lord RAG-

LAN, or the officers at the Crimea, are not respon

sible for the delays that have taken place in th

transmission of intelligence—that, on the con

trary, despatches were sent' in due course on the
Bth instant. LDTCI STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE: it

wits that, with that profound contempt for public
opinion of which ho has recently given so many
striking proofs—that love of mystery, which is
regarded as an important part of the diplomatic
cliaraeer, did not think it worth his while to ar.ail

himself of the Electric Telegraph, or to send a
Tatar to Bucharest or Belgrade, or any point
where the telegraph is in operation. Thus it was
that the public anxiety was strained to so great a
degree of intensity, that such general excitement
prevailed amongst persons of all classes and ranks
in society. The Noble diplomatist should learn that
such conduct is not merely v exatious, but highly cul-
pable. fie thereby permits Russia to obtain the pri-
ority, and to circulate its highly emberlisheci,if not ut-
terly false, statements throughout Europe for
days before any antidote can be received in the
shape of authentic tidings. This may be fraught
with very serious results. Other nations, misled
by erroneous accounts,
may take steps hostile to
the interests of the Western Powers, which they
would afterwards gladly recall. We all recollect
how Austria
committed itself by the congratula-
tions forwarded
France on the successes in the
Crimea, when the false rumours respecting the
fall of Sebastopol induced FRANCIS JOSEPH to
suppose that the power of his,
brother Emperor in
the Euxine had been
Permanently crippled.
Equally unfounded rumours may have a similar
effect on other Sovereigns, who may be induced to
commit themselves as greatly in favour of
NICHOLAS as FRANCIS JOSEPH did agai •
nst him.
If any such result should follow, it his mild un-
questionably be ascribed to the gross negligence
and culpable apathy of the English Ambassador
at Constantinople.

It may be said that there was nothing to re-
quire the despatch of a special messenger or a
communication through the electric telegraph—
that the intelligence was not sufficiently important
o warrant the outlay. We cannot, how-
ever, admit the argument. Anything that
would have appeased the public curiosity
and satisfied the craving for authentic intelli-
gence would have been well worth the cost,
which would not constitute any very formidable
addition to the expenses of the war, which we
hops and believe the AUTOCRAT will speedily be
reuirecl to defray. Even the negative testi-
mony that would prevent tho circulation of
false reports would be o 1 vast importance

RUSSIA.

St. Petersburg adVices of the 18th state that up
to the 12th the enemy (the allies) had not moved
from Balaklava nor undertaken anything against
Sebastopol.
The Journal de St. Petersbourg of the 14th con-
taint a telegraphic despatch from Vienna of the 4th
inst., stating that the commissioners of the Western
Powers and of Austria and Turkey had met at Con-
stantinople to arrange the question of the protec-
torate on the basis of the proposal made by the
Austrian Cabinet.
The National Gazette of Berlin has the following
letter from St. Petersburg, dated the 10th :—" It
is stated that the troops who have withdrawn from
the Principalities are to occupy the governments ad-
joining the Austrian frontiers. They are the 3d,
4th, and sth corps-d'armee, under the command of
Prince Gortschakoff. The second division of the
guard has been sent to Byalestorck (formerly
Prussian). Gen. Ofrosemon, who commands that
division, has also proceeded there. General
Schwarz has set out fur the western governments,
in order to prepare cantonments there for the
troops. General Prince Leon Radziwill has gone
to Moscow. Gen. Reuberg has left for the station
of Okalow ; and Gen. Korsakow, head of the
artillery of the garrison of St. Petersburg, for
Karwa. The field-lazaretto left immediately after
the guards. The Emperor inspected it at Gats-
china."

ST. PETERSBURG, SEPT. 29 (OcT. 11).

His Majesty the Emperor has deigned to address,
under date of Sept. 26 (Oct. 8), the following letter
to the General A.D.C. and Artillery-General Prince
Gortschakoff, commanding the troops of the 3d,
4th, and sth corps of infantry
"Prince Michael Demitrievitch, by a ukase addressed
to the Directing Senate, and by an order of the day to
the army, we have named you commander-in-chief of our
army of the south, and we have conferred on you all the
privileges of the commander-in-chiefs in time of war, by
virtue of the regulation of Dec. 5 (17),1846. At the same
time have submitted to your jurisdiction, with the rights of
commander-in-chief : Ist. The Governments of Podolia,
Kieff, Poltava, Kharkoff, Catherinoslaff, together with
the city and suburbs of Taganrog, Kherson, the northern
part of the Government of Taurida, as far as the isthmus
of Perekop, and the province of Bessarabia ; 2ndly, All
the troops stationed in these Governments and this pro-
vince, excepting the reserve and the depot of cavalry
and horse artillery, cantoned in the districts of the In i-
litary colonies, which will remain under the immediate'
orders of the. inspector of the cavalry of reserve. We
are assured t hat you will fully justify the confidence we
repose in you.

THE CRIMEA.

The accounts received by the French Go-
vernment are of a very satisfactory kind. The
opinion of General Canrobert is, that the position
of the Allies at Balaklava is impregnable. With
the reinforcements that hake arrived the force
of the allies now amounts to 80,000 men, with
200 pieces of cannon. With a position defended
by some heights, and by the sea, and with such a
force, it is declared on competent authority that it
would require 200,000 Russians to attack them
with any chance of success. General Canrobert is
said to speak in the most sanguine manner as to
the success of the attack projected against Sebas-
topol, and declares that there is not the slightest
cause for anxiety. On the whole, the despatches are
described to be most cheering, and certainly hold
out the hope that the question which has so long
and so intensely engaged public attention will be
solved speedily and gloriously.

MARSHAL ST. ARNAUD'S SUCCESSOR.
We find the following in a letter received from
Paris this morning.:—" Marshal Vaillant, who is
said to be rather tired of his functions as War
Minister, would gladly exchange them for some
more active duties. He ' had entertained the
hope of being the successor of Marshal St.
Arnaud in the command of the army in the
Crimea, and if anything prevented him from
pushing on his claim it was the apprehension
of arriving too late at Sebastopol. The private
feeling of the Emperor was in favour of C2tnrobert,
who, on the first starting of the expedition, had
been named as the successor of St. Arnaud, in case
of anything occurring to the latter. Moreover,
the Emperor was unwilling to do anything which
would in the slightest degree wear even the ap-
pearance of a slight to the English General.

MISCELLANEOUS.

A oourt•martial will shortly be holden on Mr. West,
the assistant surgeon of the Rolla, at Portsmouth.
Sprightly, tender to Victory, Master Commander
Allen, having a party of engineering officers on board,
went down yesterday morning to inspect the defences
at the entrance of the Needles passage.

The following is an extract from a letter dated Con-
stantine Bay. September 26, 1854. The writer is a non-
commissioned officer of the Royal Artillery, who went
to the East in one of the recently despatched transports.
He says, " I was never landed after leaving Woolwich
until I arrived at Eupatoria, where• the artillery were
put on shore, with the non-commissioned officers who
had volunteered for service in the commissariat depart-
ment, so that I just landed in time for the thick of it."
The account he gives of the battle of Alma agrees with
those which have already appeared. He adds, "All I
want at present is soap and tobacco, for I have not had
a wash during the last five days. No wonder the cholera
is amongst us. I suppose you have heard that Sergeant
Cook died of cholera at Varna. I picked up an old chew
of tobacco this morning, and had a splendid smoke, but
I expect plenty to-morrow, as we have just been
ordered to strike tents—it is supposed, to make a dash
at Sebastopol."

SMITHFIELD.

To-day's market was but moderately supplied with
boasts, the general condition of which was very inferior.
Prime breeds moved off steadily at very full prices • other-
wise the beef trade ruled dull, on former terms. iVe had
a steady inquiry for sheep, the supply of which was far
from extensive, at full currencies. The veal trade was
rather inactive, yet we have no change to notice in value.
Pigs were in fair request, at full prices. Milk cows, with
their small calves, were selling at from 141 to 191 each.

FRANCE.

The only article of any• interest in the Paris
journals of this day is one of the Pays (which we
give elsewhere) on the siege of Sebastopol.
We read in the Moniteur :—" The Marshal
Minister of War has received despatches from
the Genera 1-in-Chief of the army in the East,
dated the 3tl. No fresh military feat had taken
place since the taking possession of Balaklava.
The two armies aro established in excellent po-
sitions, the English army drawing its materiel
and provisions from Balaklava, and the French
from two small bolys to the northward of Cape
Chersonesus. The position of the two armies
has naturally determined their division on the
ground before Sebastopol during the siege. The
French army will have the left of the attacks
from the sea to the South fort ; the English
army will have the right from the South fort to
the ruins of Inkermann. Our army is divided
into two corps ; the first, under the command
of General Forey and composed of the 3d and
4th divisions, will carry on the siege ; and the
second, under General. Bosquet and including
the Ist and 2d divisions, will form the corps of
observation. The Turkish division is in reserve to
act according to circumstances. The English army
has made similar dispositions : one part will follow
the attacks against the place, while the other,
forming a corps of observation, will unite itself with
the corps of General Bosquet. These arrangements
