SATURDAY., 12:45 A. M.-The following tele-
graphic dispatch has been received at the For
eign Office from Lord Stratford de Radcliffe, and
forwarded to the Duke of Newcastle, Minister of
the War Department: 1sa. =. tsc t..1.a. a .,.-.
CoNsTANTiNOrLE, Oct. 2S.--The captain of the
English steam transport which left Balaklava
the evening of the 10Th, confirms in great part
the inform tion brought this morning by French
ship, and transmitted Immediately to London via
Marseilles. 1t appears that the Russians attack
ed the forts in the vicinity of Balaklava on the
18th. Their numbers are supposed to have been
about 10000 men. The attack was unexpected.
The Cossacks preceded the infantry. TO resist
these Mt first there were Ottoman and Scotch
troops. The Turks gave way, and even spiked
the guns, which, seized by the Russians, were
turned against them. The Scotch, on the con-
trary, remained firm in their position. Other
forces arrived, and the Russians were obliged to
yield the ground, remaining, nevertheless, mas
tiers of two forts, from which they fired upon our
troops. Three regiments Of English Light Caval-
ry, exposed to the cross fire of the Russian bat
teries, suffered immensely. The French took part
in the affair with admirable bravery. On the
next day their position was attacked by body
of 5000 Russians, well from the side of the
town from that Of Baaklava. They repuIsed
the enemy with great slaughter.
The loss of the Russians must have been very
great. 1t is affirmed that the fire of the batteries
of tho town had much slackened, and according
to the report of the wounded officers some of
whom have arrived at Buyokdere. This is mere
ly what has been gathered on the spot, from sew
eral persons who were eye witnesses of what took
place.. '1s@ pr sta
The names of the killed and wounded are re-
served for the official occasion; among the names
there is none of general officer. g e-,t...

JOURNALS.

We are of opinion that there is a higher aim to
be kept in view, in newspaper enterprises, than
the mere local disputatons, in which some of the
sheets around seem to delight, and into which
we might be easily drawn. In controversies of
national and important character we are ever
ready to embark, and wherever we discover fraud
we shall try utmost to bring it before the pub
lie gaze, and strip it of it's false attributes. The
columns of paper should not be filled with per-
sonalities, illusions or insulting queries,
respecting the conductor of contemporary journal,
or in inuendocs or trfing quips that give vent
to malice, or an unfair spirit of rivalry. AS
standard bearers of the public, and the public NOR
ais, they are false to their high position, and re-
crcant to their trust, who depart from pure,
elevated style, and dcsccnds by the crooked road
of ambiguity to actual deraction and vitupera-
ton. 1t is an admitted fact that parties in the
daily habit of reading paper become imbucd,
imperceptablv perhaps, with its main charactcris-
tics and paculiaritcs, and finally adopt as their
own the ideas advanced, and the measures advo.
Gated in their favori!c journal. The editor of
such journal is morally responsible then, for
whatever is conveyed to the public mind, through
this channel. lie is the teacher as it were: he is
accountable for the moral bearing of the lesson
taught. 1t would be easy for us to imagine faults
in our neishbor, AID give them to the public, who
would not be slow in stamping them facts, and
others could do so by us. The power welded
then is dangerous, unless o;erruling by the
strongest sense of right and Justice, sens,
while it feels its might can WELD it in defence of
truth-to crush all error. There is high and
honest motive in the head or heart of him. who
unites to elevate the mind of Others. And he
pursues this motive when he advocates some
measure, which he believes will best subserye the
public good. But when he allows his pen to
build up some dishonest clique to bcspatter with
fulsome praise, men whom the community have
cause to feel are not altogether honest: to bolster
up some aspirant for Office; to cheat the common
ear, of well founded rumor, by trumping up some
falschoed and pouring that instead, into its mind,
in short to make what is not appear as if it is
then the journalist is soft his tracks and merits
only scorn.

class, in the basement of the Central Presbyterian
Church, in this city, and was much pleased with
the order that prevailed, and the method of COM

his profession, and his long experience, together
with his fondness for the science, qualify him adj
mirably to impart instruction to his pupils Mr..
Wilson has been but short time among us, and
has already done much to excite interest on the
subject Of vocal music. The progress made by
his class last winter has recommended him to the
public, and he has now large and fourishing
school. That which particularly recommends his
school is, the perfect order which preyails-his
pupils soon see that they come not together to
play-the consequence is, they soon become in
tcrcsted in the business of the school, and advance
in the knowledge of Music. . GILLIN.

ca There is a feeling of intense excitement in
Hartford among the Catholic portion of the COM
munity, re-awakened by the continued harshness
of Bishop O'Rciley against the Rev. MIR. Brady.
Mr.. Brady had been for some IL years the pastor
of a congregation in that place, and by his con-
tinucd efforts had erected the Cathedral. He had
placed a stone in front Of the Church beneath
which he desired to rest in death. Mr.. Brady had
been silcnced for some trihing pretcxt, the grief
at reading which, &C broke his heart" and the
Bishop has refused to let the pastors remains be
enearthed where he wished. Either the Bishops
are drawing too tight rein, and arrogating more
than their position warrants, or disaffection and
scbism are spreading among the &C faithful.''

1t appears that the deceased with young.
er brother started to water some cattle and
sheep at distance of half mile from their
fathers house.. shortly after dinner on the
18th inst. and about ! O'Clock the younger
returned homo without his brother, saying
that he had parted from him to q, TO u
thicket near the brook to gutllsr wild plume;
that when he drove the cattle TO the brook
he saw nothing Of his brother, but heard
strange smothered u Use in the thicket near
by, which ended in groan. He started for
the place, but becoming frightened, ran
home and alarmed the family. The father
started for the spot, and there in the dry bed
of the brook, found his son lying dead with
the marks of strangulation on his neck, sus
pender broken and part of it round his neck.
The boy appeared to have been gathering
plums, as the pits ot those he had eaten
were found strewn about the path but as'
to the cause of his death, or the agents it,
not the slightest clue has been found. He
was cheerful, lively, lad and general. ia.
