The leading events in connection with the
war are the quariering of de,achmenis of
French and English troops in Sebasiopcl, and
the fact that the allied armies OF operation
threaten the Russian army, both from Eupa-
ioria and Baidar. The French cavalry, un-
der Gen. d.AlIonville, defeated the Russians
near Eupaloria on the 2sth. Russian loss,
80 killed and los prisoners French, killed
and 81 wounded. A tough campaign Is ex-

The chiel item in the English news is the
rise in the rate of interes, from s 10 81 per

deal of commercial unsasiness has resulted.
The revenus returns Of the United Kingdom
show an increase IN the year Of nearly eight
and half millions sterling, chiefly caused
by the additional income lax. The Board Of
Trade returns for August show an increase

The last official dispatches report the
South side of Sebaslopol to be occnped by
de,achments of French and English troops,

The Times correspondent, writing on the

will be forced 10 abandon their position on
the approach of winter.
The correspondent oi the Daily News
takes different view. He says:
