In suoh moments is the bold head of a resolute leader, who, fearlessly and devotedly, stakes everything, even to his life, the issue of his plans, that oan alone rule the troubled elements of popular agitation; and it is more than likely that Espartero, by leaving the Constituent Assembly to revolutionize the country as they may see fit, will find that the upshot will be, either that a more vigorous and less scrupulous hand than his will seize the reins of Government, or that the Queen's abdioation will be decreed, and the country thrown into the miseries of a new revolution.

After discussion on thispoint, Mr Duncan did not press Mr M'Gavik, Merchant, Glasgow, hoped some effort would be made, if possible, to develop tho passenger traffic, which bad increased at a very small rate compared with the goods. oi fiEiE said the Deeside line, wuich had aided the goods traffic, had been somewhat detrimental to the passenger department, as regarded pleasure excursions but be appreciated the value ot passenger trathc.

Mr M'Gavik also alluded to the proposal to contribute for workshops at Perth, thinking it should be kept in view to have workshops here, as the Great North was in this matter more the natural ally of the Aberdeen line than the Scottish Central. Major CaBrsriB and Mr Pibie explained, in substance, that the contribution of the Aberdeen line in this matter, was only for tools, which, being portable, could be removed to Aberdeen, wnen worusnops nnve Deen crectea uere. The report was then adopted. The azreement with the Deeside Railwav. for access to the Ferryhill station, was then read and, on the motion of Mr Stieling- of Kippendavie, one of the Directors, seconded by Major Cheisiie, adopted, the former remarking that he considered the agreement fair to both parties.

i ne uhaikman next moved a resol ution authorising the payment of the proposed dividend to the holders of 6 per cent, preference stock seconded by Mr Pibie, and agreed to. His Lobsship then proposed a resolution authorising the issue of deferred dividend warrants to the holders of 7 per cent, preference Btock also seconded by Mr Pikie, and earned. Messrs Thomson, (of Banchory) Wallace (Perth) Beale, (Birmingham) and Scott, (of Kelly) were then re-elected Directors and Mr Alexander Miller was also acain elected, lie having formerly resigned. Mr Notmau was re-elected an Auaitor. ELBCTBIC TElEGBArH.

Mr STicor, (Dean of Guild), one of the Directors, said, as the arrangement for bringing the electric telegraph, which his Lordship had referred to, had been supplemented by the public, he begged to explain, as having taken an active part, on behalf of the public, in the matter, that for the delay that had occurred this Company was not responsible. That delay had been en tirely owing to the lelegraph Company. An arrangement had been entered into between the Cnmnanv nnmi mid this Company to finish the telegraph by 20th August last. That had. not been done, much to the annoyance of this Company as well-as the public; but, he trusted the public would believe, what could be proved by documents, that this Company bad done everything in their power to have the arrangement wibuiu Hie spectueu time.

On the motion of Mr Dctkoah, seconded by Dr Itf atthew; a vote of thanks was passed to Lord1 James Hay for his conduct in the chair, and this finished the business. SEGOHB EDITION. JOURNAL" Office, Thursday, 9, A.M. REPORTED SUCCESS OF THE ENEMY. (From the Chronicle.) Vienna, Tuesday Warsaw, Oct.

30th. A Russian atoh states that 30.000 Russians, under General Liprandi, surprised the English right flank on the night of the 24th October, at Inkerman, on the Tcherneya ana took nve redoubts and several guns.

Paris, Oct. 31st. We have received news from Sebastopol to.Oct. 24th. The bombardment, of four forts is vigorously continued.

The besieged reply with energy. Different vessels of the allied fleets have been damaged. The Russians have received reinforcements of 30,000 men. General Bosquet observes them. St.

Petersburg, Oot, 31st. A report of Prinoe Mensohikoff, dated Oct. 25th, states that General Liprandi had attacked, on 25th, a detached camp of the English, and is reported to have taken four redoubts which defended the camp. At the same time, an attack of cavalry is said tb have caused sensible loss to the English light cavalry. The Daily News contains the following "lu a despatch dated Oct.

29th, Prince Gortschakoff announces from his head quarters in Bessarabia, that on uot. iron, General Liprandi took four English redoubts and eleven guns. Lord Cardigan lost half of his cavalry. His Lordship had a narrow escape. The Times'1 Vienna correspondent telegraphs on Tus-day night-i-T It is certain that the Russians have received considerable reinforcements, though: it is by no means so oertain that they amount to 30,000 men." It is reported that a still stronger corps is expected from Perekop, but this very much requires confirmation.

A second edition of the Morning Post gives the following: "On 2th, the English entrenchments wore forced by General Liprandi Eleven English cannon were dismounted. The light cavalry, under Lord Cardigan, were dispersed. (From Second Edition of. Chronicle.) The Vienna, Tuesday Evening. Though the Vienna evening.

Gazette contains the last despatches relative to a successful attack on the English flank by General Liprandi, their contents are doubtful. The Presse has the following: Varna, Ootober 26. The Russian fire, in reply to the bombardnignt of the allies, is feeble. Two powder magazines in Sebastopol had exploded. The loss on both 'sides is considerable.

The Admirals report that the fall of Sebastopol is expected shortly. The Austrian Correspondenz says that nothing decisive had occurred at Sebastopol up to the 24th. (From tlte Times.) The Monileur states that the words "resisting the timid advices," contained in the Emperor's letter to Madame de-St. Arnaud, were only intended to throw out. in strong relief the energy of Marshal St.

Arnaud, by contrasting it with" the very natural differences of opinion which on the eve of important decision hod manifested themselves in the councils of the French army and fleet.

If 500 are admitted to have fallen, how many may that 500 be taken to represent, if we judge by the peouliar complexion of Mensohikoff 'a previous despatches But, even 500 is a tremendous day's destruction for the opening oannonade when the works are at the first parallels. What will be the conse-quenoe when the approaches are drawn closer and closer, and the lines advanced from 1200 yards to half that distance? The fire of the Allies is, moreover, directed downwards on the forts, manned by the moat experienced gunners, and directed by men perfeoted in the soienoe up to the mark of its theoretical certainty while the enemy's guns have to be pointed upwards which seems to make the aim very uncertain, as the proper elevation oan only be ascertained by tho most exact knowledge of gunnery are manned evidently by inexperienced hands, and have the great disadvantage whioh all foitress defences have, of being divergent from a centre, and consequently throwingtheir shot very sparsely over a long line of besiegers just, in fact, as the spokes of a wheel are less crowded in the ring than the nave.

The Allied Commanders seem, with great consideration for theirmen, to be guided by this principle; and, although they might take the town by assault and burn the shipping in a few days' time, the forts would still remain to be brought to terms and consequently they seem resolved to saorifice nothing that can be saved except powder and shot. The forts, however, will he made of more than adamant, instead of soft limestone, if they stand long before the enormous Lancaster guns and siege trains that have opened upon them. But Prince Mensohikoff appears to have overlooked one oiroumstances of considerable moment, viz. the faot that the Quarantine Fort was silenced on the first day. The intelligence that reaohed London on Saturday tells us that this was the case, and that the casualities on the part of the British were ohiefly on board of the ships, and amounted to 90 killed and 300 wounded a very serious loss, but not more than was to bo expected in an attack by sea on the lower forts.

This was done by the French fleet, which is on the right. The English: blew up some batteries on the left, and the guns of others dismounted. The bombardment had oontin'ued'un to the 21st. without intermission. On' that day the British effected a breach in the upper'Tvallj oi ine city, ana apparently oleared the outworks.

-It-was expected that the French would breaoh the south-west wall on the same day and'report states that the armies were waiting, till the seoond breaoh should be effectedito maue an assault at two points. This statement we do not place much reliance upon, as the capture of the forts, and not the townitself, is thegreat matter. Anotherre-port says, General Bosquet had marched with 30,000 French to invest theoity on the north side. But, as on the north Bide, the bay of Inkerman extends from the sea to the right of the British position, is about a mile across, and is defended by large field works, whioh make it almost impossible for an army, without cannon, to do much service -we think it likely that his advance must be intended to cut off communication with the interior or intercept reinforcements. The Russian fire is certainly poor enough, as was shown by the feeble oannonade that opened on a deserted Aus trian vessel, that on the 12th drifted in a calm towards the mouth of the harbour, and was towed off by the little Beagle, carrying only 4 guns, from beneath the guns of jporc uonstantine and the Quarantine Battery.

Out of 400 balls fired at the vessel only 4 struck her. and the Beagle was not one touched in the performance of her gallant exploit. The silenoing of the Quarantine Fort-will have a great effect on the siege. It was commanded by the battery on the French extreme left, and by the fleets, and more or less commanded both these in re turn. Were.it onoe silenced, the fleets could direot their operations more decisively on Fort Constantino, and the Frenoh would have got rid of one of themostgallingposi- tions ot the enemy.

It was expected that Sebastopol would be taken before the 25th, and that the fleets on the north side of the Bay would capitulate after that if. indeed. Fort Constantino be not silenced by our guns before that time. It ia stated that there aro 60,000 troops in Sebastopol, and that Generals Mensohikoff, Chumotoff, Gortoha- soa, ana Liuders are in the camp. This information was brought by a Polish deserter.

Chumotoff is, now that General Sohilders is gone, the best artillery officer in the Russian service. The Gortohakoff -mentioned oau scarcely be the commander of the army of the uanuoe. There is, perhaps, a third brother of the name. As for Luders, it is not likely that he is out of Bessarabia, when a Turkish army is threatening the Russian rear. It is, indeed, impossible to come to any conclusion on the state of matters within the fort.

The deserters say that the greatest terror prevails amongst the inhabitants, and that every person, man, woman, and child, oapable of being in any way useful, are working on the field works raised in front of the Russian lines, oarrying baskets of sand and earth, and, indeed, they are sufficiently visible by means of a telesoope' from the British camp. The want of water is felt very much. as, indeed, it must be; for the viaduot out by the British was a large channel, ten feet broad, and is said to have been almost the only source of supply to the city, with the exception of a wells, as the river whioh opens into the bay has its confluence without the British lines. Such is a very summary outline of the appearance of matters at the seat of war, in so far as it presents itself to us in detached fragments, through very voluminous correspondence. Every day news is eagerly looked for, and we think it is more than probable that we shall receive intelligence of the fall of the town at least whether of the forts or not either to-day or to-morrow.

New arrangements have been made for conveying news more speedily. A vessel is to sail from the Crimea every second day for Varna, and from thence a courier is to be dispatched to the nearest Austrian telegraph station, and we should think that about this time we ought to be receiving the first fruits of this improvement in our communication with the East. Reports are as indefinite and as numerous as ever about the intended whereabouts of the army's winter quarters or winter operations. Some say Bessarabia, as we mentioned last week; some Soutari, some Sebastopol. That Omar Pasha has work in hand would seem probable from the fact that the Turks in the Crimea are raw soldiers.

They work well, and are very enthusiastic when not hungry, but they have no properly organized commissariat, and, poor fellows, they had to subsist on a couple of Marseilles biscuits a-day to each man poor rations to dig trenohes on, and sleep on, on the cold ground without tents. They loafed a little on the British camp, but latterly, they have been taken on the British commissariat, and are so pleased with their improved condition as to be almost 1 The only difficulty was the salt beef, which they regarded at first with great suspicion, lest it should be pork in disguise. But they seem to have soon taken to it very kindly. At soman, there are nearly two thousand siok and wounded. A hundred additional medioal officers have been ordered out and a regular corps of female nurses, under that admirable lady, Miss Nightingale, who, although the only child of a very wealthy landed proprietor, has given herself up, with a devotion and enthusiasm almost unexampled, to the most trying offices that the most benign humanity oan undertake.

The work in the Crimea does not seem likely to end with the fall of Sebastopol. The Russians very probably will be entirely expelled from the peninsula, or, what is more likely, forced to lay down their arms; for without a supply of provisions by sea, it is impossible that they can subsist, in the face of a victorious army, in a retreat over the barren steppes of the north, where they will have a week's march before them, without even water. Indeed, we think it is more than likely the result of the campaign will be that not only will Sebastopol, and the adjacent forts, be destroyed, but the crews of the fleet, and the whole army of the Crimea, will either be out to pieces or forced into an uncondi tional surrender. Mensohikoff is no Xenophon, and we question if the celebrated Ten Thousand found more dif ficulties in their long march, than the Russian army of the Crimea will encounter, after their forts and field works are razed, and they turn their baoks on Sebasto pol, with the allies hanging on their rear and right flank, and cutting off all communication with the coasts of the sea of Azoff, and nothing before them but a dreary waste, without food or any water, except that contained in salt marshes. The Baltic news is prospective.

The fieets are all homeward-bound by this time. But preparations are in progress for next year's campaign, whioh shew that nothing short of the absolute humiliation ot Kussia is contemplated. Contracts have been entered into for con structing 20 new gun and 10 mortar boats tor the iJaltao neet, as tenders on the large vessels. The German aspeot of affairs is not improving. The results of the late counoil of war at Vienna are that the whole army is to be placed on a war footing, and two additional corps are to be marohed into Gallicia, as the opinion gains ground daily that the frontier will be cros sed by the Russians before the winter sets in.

Prussia is still in the mud. She is enraged at the proposal to eniorce more rigidly the laws of blockade on liussia, which will put an end to the Prussian and American trade in the Baltic But she shows no other, symptoms of throwing aside her neutrality, than are contained in an order on a Berlin newspaper to -discontinue its attacks on the French Government. SPANISH AFFAIRS. The elections for the Constituent Cortes have been coins on for the past ten dayB, and the greatest exoitement prevails, for all nartiea know that tha Tnntin( nf t.hn.t. body will be a very momentous crisis in the history of the country.

The more advanced lihern.1 tiairhv nmlrnnn eeoret of their intention; to urge the abdioation of the a as it on be of on are, as a matter of course, disinclined to Bell in a rising market. The war has stopped supplies from the Danube and Odessa and although that would matter comparatively little, were the' American' orops reasonably good, there is as yet some uncertainty what we may expect from thenoe, and, consequently, we have to put up for a time with dearth prices in the midst of plenty. That suoh prices will last there-is very little chance for, at the olose of a universally plentiful harvest, people in general will be chary about keeping large stocks in hand, in the hope of a furthor rise after the prices have reaohed the maximum of ordinary years; although from the faot that the reserve stock requires to be made up after the last year's run there is little chance of the prices ruling through the year at anything like tho rates expected six weeks ago. ABERDEEN RAILWAY COMPANY. The half-yearly ordinary general meeting of the Shareholders of the Aberdeen Railway Company was held within the Company's offices, Market Street, on Thursday.

Lord James Hay, Chairman of the Directors, presided. The advertisement calling the meeting was read, together with minutes of last general meeting and special ones since held, and the seal of the Company was affixed to tho registers of shareholders. The Report, (which was held as read) stated that the traffic receipts for the past six months amounted to 49,973, and the expenses to 25,695, leaving 24,278. Out of this is deducted 12,892 for interest on debenture's, and 6,047 for Arbroath and Forfar guaranteed rent, leaving 5,339. To this is added 5,224, the surplus oh previous half-years; making together 10,563.

The directors believe that the revenue as from the 1st of May. last will be sufficient to maintain the full dividend on the 6 per cent, preference steck of the company, and they propose.to pay the amount for the half-yeir to the 1st of Nov. next on the llfch of that moDtb. The comparative statement of revenue shows that the traffic receipts for the half-year ending, the 31st of July, 1851, amounted to ending the 31st of 1852, to ending the 3lBt' July, 1853, to 41.656; and for the the 3 1st of July, 1854. to -The charges; including feu-duty, 'rent, and -taxes, amounted to iau.aio, vztjm, and 25,695, for; the" same periods respectively.

revenue amounted to 15,021, 16,617, and 24,278 respectively. The gross increase of revenue in the nast half-vear over that for the ooiTOspdndihg period IjiBt year amounts to 8,317, while the excess bf Working chargesls 1,456, boiner only 17.4 Per cent upon the increase. The total working charges are Isss byej per cent, than those of the half-year'correBponding. The directors, in April last, entered into a contract for maintaining the line ana worss for a period ot three years at 65 per mile ner annum, a sum considerably under the average amount previously paid. The new passenger station at Guild-street, Aberdeen, was opened for traffic on the 2d of August last, and affords great onvenienee to tho public.

The new goods station, immediately adjoining the passenger terminus, is all but completed, and will be ready for traffic in about a fortnight, An agreement has been entered into with tho directors of the Deeside, Railway Company for the use, by that company, of the passenger-station i1, MKl railway. between the station and the of a mile. The Deeside Comnany are to pay the Aberdeen Company 700 a-year for the first three years, and year thereafter, until their revenuo shall exceed 12,000 per annum, when they are to pay 25 additional rent for every 500 of gross revenue above that sum. The Great North of Scotland Railway being now open from Aberdeen to Huatly, about 40 miles in length, a considerable accession of traffic to the Aberdeen line may be expected from that source. Until.

however, tho junction between the two lines at Aberdeen is com pleted, tne full bonent of the extension of railway communica tion will not be realised. The junction is likely to be finished by the end' of the present year. During the half-year the capital account nas Been increased to the extent of 32,962, of which 16,000 has been for new station and works at Aberdeen, 8,169 for compensation to contractors and for work performed. 6.306 for locomotive engines and" goods waggons, and 1,076 for interest on accounts connected with capital. With regard to the debenture stock, 70,900 has been disposed of, and there Btin remains a balance ot unappropriated.

The claim of 7000 by Messrs Brothers, founded upon an alleged contract for cast-iron chairs entered into in February, 1846, while'Mr T. Blaikie was chairman of the company, was finally decided by; the House of Lords in the month of July last in favour of the company. The other questions between the company and Messrs Blaikie are still before the courts, and the directors have full confidence that the result of these tedious litigations will justify the whole proceedings which have been Kitten to aetena tne company. Tho balance account shews a total expenditure of 1,833,356, while the receipts haveiatnounted to 1,756,724, leaving aba; lance ot against, the company.

He had. how- Boater pleasure in looking forward to the future than in contemplating the past, and when he considered -that the sta tion was now, conveniently situated, and that there were two ranroaas running into it, and a third soon to be added, commandr ingthe traffic of the richest country and most of the towns in the north, he might congratulate the shareholders upon their future prospects. With the new works bringing.the line trom ierryhill to Market Street, the Directors were well sstis-fied-r-these works wereefiicieut, and had been rapidlyconstructed.

There would thus be agreat saying in cartage, while they were to. receive additional mileage the Deeside Company; and he believed the shareholders would have no cause to regret having made the arrangement. The wires of the electric telegraph were now completed to Forfar, and in a few weeks they would be finished between Forfar and Perth, when great advantage would result both to the railway and the public, His Lordship then moved the approval of the report. Mr A. Pibie, seconded the motion.

He agreed with his Lordship in congratulating the shareholders on the different prospects held forth by the undertaking now, compared with what they were a few years ago. Still, considering how long the shareholders had been without a dividend, and how much money had been was only a poor comfort for the Directors to be able to ask to pay a half-year's dividend on the 8 per cent, preference stock especially looking at the fact that the revenue for the half-year ending 31st July was not sufficient to pay that divi dend. At the sametime, the Dirictors were fully aware that the revenue for the half-year for which this dividend was payablethat namely ending 1st Nov. would present a surplus sufficient to warrant the dividend. The prospects for the fu ture were certainly better than they had yet been.

The increase of revenue for the last half-year waB several thousand pounds beyond what had been calculated on; and he was happy to say that the increase upon the eleven weeks, since the half-year terminated, showed a surplus of upwards of 200 per week upon, the.cpresponding period of last year. This was so far satisfactory, because it held out a prospect that they would he able all events to continue to pay the dividend on the 6 per cent, shares. Thoy pronosed, as before, issuina deferred dividend war rants to the holders of 7 per cent, preference stock, tor the half- year dividend-falling due on the 1st November next; and he hoped the day wa3 not distant when they would be enabled to ask the shareholders to empower them to deal with the arrears of the 7 as they had done with the 6 per and he boned in a year or two thev would be able to pay a dividend on this class of stock also. They must look to the extension of ratty) ay communication to the north tor such increase ot traffic as would enable them to pay a dividend upon the original shares. The Great North of Scotland Railwav had been open ed since their last meeting, and he had been delighted, as he was sure the shareholders here would be, to learn that tho traffic on that line was showing itself most encouragingly it was now, he learned, upwards of 700 per week.

This held out very satisfactory Drosnects for them (the Aberdeen line) but. still, they could not look for much accession of traffic from the Great North until such time as that railway was lomed to their line by the harbour quays. But looking still further, he hoped it would not be. long ere the Great North would be extended as far as the Moray Frith and be was quite certain that when that was the case, thev would have a erent accession of traffic. Ife.was.satisfactory that tho Great North had already been so asjt would encourage' the shareholders of that way to lino, at an earlier time that had been contemplated, at all events to Elgin.

He was also glad that a proposal had come before the publics-he believed with the strong support of tiielandowners along the routeto carry railway communication into the Biichan district, which when completed would also form an important feeder to their line. Mr P. proceeded to say that the report was so far satisfactory, as they had carried 8000 additional of goods traffic, upon a slight increase of working expenses! These still shewed a high figure, but ns the traffic increased the per centairc would be consider ably diminished and, indeed, were the nsiinl method of fixing the proportion of working expenses adopted giving credit for the use by other companies of this Company's plant the propor tion would be for the hiUr-year only its per cent, oi tne receipts. They had also obtained a saving during the post 6 months of 500 to 600 on the item of maintenance of way, in consequence of a favourable contract recently entered into, and this 1.1 hnrl Wn eno-ne-ed ronfiitWiusr fclie contract for working the line between this Company and the Scottish Central and Scottish Midland lines. The report sumcientiy expiamuu me present, state of the negotiations'; and ho trusted they would soon get their working arrangements put on a looting mat womu ue satisfactory to this Company.

One item in tho accounts for the past half-year had been detrimental he referred to the fact that there had been an increase of interest to the amount of nearly 2000; but, as the credit of the Company improved, and as money became cheaper, a considerable saving on that item would be effected. The Directors, he bad to explain, had applied for proxies, because, as a few parties hold a large amount of stock, they might, as matters now stood, overturn any decision of the Directors, and carry what might be detrimental to the interests of the Company. All the Directors wished was that their report, having been issued and considered by the shareholders, should be and that two or three individuals should not have the power to, overturn what was for the interests of the shareholders. Mr Dos cas, Advocate, referredrtb tlieJ fact stated in the report that a sum of 20,000 was due by revenue to capital during the period when the line wbr but partially opened. Contrary to the proposal jin the report, he maintained that the existing aurphjf of revenue should- how be replaced to capital, as' be held it to be the proper.legal, and financial view of the question first of all.to repay sums doe to the capital account.

It onenetl unon Western Europe jubilant with the news of triumphs as unlocked for Mtney were extraordinary; andbeforeithadfaradvanced, it witnessed the bright picture dashed to the ground only to shew us more truly the grandeur of the feats that had been performed, and which, the magnificence of ne fiction which was reared behind them, had led us to undervalue. It was only at its close that we arrived at a true estimate of the extent and difficulty of the enterprise, which fable had described as completed by a single Wow.

Sebastopol has, we doubt not, fallen before now iut instead of yielding to the brilliant dash of a victorious army, fired with the ardour of a continuous series af triumphs, it has fallen before the slow but irresistible process of a siege, conducted on a scale of magnitude wnequalled in the history of wars and one which shews vast the undertaking has been, compared with Trhat it was believed to be four weeks ago. Let us look for a moment to the scene that is presented to the eye from the bay of Sebastopol, as the panorama is presented to us, bit by bit, by the scores who indite their own adventures, and the adventures of others, for the benefit of their friends or the public at home. A narrow creek, on each side defended bv vast forts that mako it apparently impassable to a hostile Beet, runs about three miles inland to the westward, and about a mile from its mouth are the capacious docks and harbours, in which lie the Russian navy. The entrance of the creek is commanded on the north by Fort Jonsrantine, 3 tiers, 104 guns; the Telegraph Battery, 17 guns the North Ravine Battery, 20 guns, and several others placed on various points to cover the whole course of the channel up to the harbour, -which lies on She south side, and is itself about a mile and a-half in Jength. From the south the channel is defended by the Quarantine Fort, 51 guns; Fort Alexander, 2 tiers, 84 guns Fort Nicholas, 3 tiers, 192 guns Cape Paul Battery, 3 tiers, 80 guns a fifty-gun fort at each extremity of a wall about three-quarters of a mile in length, that feces seaward, with several other smaller works, and all these command the whole entrance to Inkerman bay, from within a mile and a-half of Sebastopol.

It Ss at the mouth of this bay, which, at the widest, is not more than a mile across, and which narrows a little way beyond the first batteries, at a point under the guns of Forts Constantino, Alexander, and the Quarantine batteries to less than half that distance, that the Russian ships of war Were sunk to bar the entrance of the allied fleet. ThoBe forts, however, which, with the sunk ships, render Sevastopol almost impregnable from the sea, have little Bower against a land attack and while the forts that defend the seaboard are on the south-west side of the town, the chief land defences are on the north side of toe bay, lying all within a mile or little more of the har- feour, but useless, except as places of escape, in the event the city being taken by assault in a land attack, and a means oi actacKing the enemy after they have got tjos Session of the city. The Bay of Inkerman or Sebastopol sons tap for two miles past the city, where it ends in the confluence of the Tcherneya, a large river that passes through a deep ravine, impassable by artillery, and easily defensible against every enemy and on the rising ground on the south bank of that ravine is posted the right flank of the British army. The ground is nat on tne norm side and near the shore; tot at the head- of the oreek the city rises, tier on tier, like an amphitheatre; and behind it rises a semicircular rang, of hills, by which it is entirely overlooked and commanded. The great forts that command the roadstead are on the flat ground below the city, and open on the approaches from the sea, so as 4o be of little use in defending the town from a land attack.

The town itself can scarcely be said to be fortified. It is partly surrounded by a wall three feet in thickness, and defended by a ditch and a narrow glaois; "bat it is only lately that a temporary substitute for bastions has been erected, in the shape of platforms, to earry the guns removed from the useless navy. To make up for this want, however, there are several forts outside, beginning with Fort Alkiaf, which rises over the town at its highest part, and ending with the Quarantine Fort, that stands opposed to the extreme left of the attack. Beyond these are strong redoubts, placed on the various eminences that command the town in its vicinity, which, although, no doubt, they might be easily taken by assault at the commencement, have, it seems, been the cause of the trenohes being opened at so great a distance from the city, as the Commanders-in-Chief appear wisely resolved to saorifice time and la-Aonr rather than the loss of their men, and to carrying oat the siege on scientific principles, rather than resorting to the more brilliant, but more sanguinary, modes ef attack. Behind these redoubts, and under the walls the upper forts, a part of the Russian army is en-eamped cavalry chiefly and from that point several Borties have been made on the besiegers engaged in the trenches.

Behind the town, on the range of hills, the lines of the Allies extend from the Tcherneya to the sea a distance of nearly eight miles. The peouliar form of the place, including the forts that command the entrance the harbour on both sides, and those that defend the town "on the high grounds, renders it difficult to invest it thoroughly so that, notwithstanding the extent of the besiegers' front, the north side of the town is open, and communication with the exterior as -free as ever. The French attack is directed to the lower forts, and the British, who occupy the heights, command more particularly the upper forts and redoubts, and the Government stores. Although the British do not so much command the inhabited part of the town as the French Ao, Lord Raglan was requested by the Russian Commander to spare one portion of the town, in which it as proposed to place the women and children during the bombardment. His Lordship, however, was under She necessity of refusing this request, but offered a safe passage out of the fortress to all who chose to take advantage of it.

The lines, we have said, extend over nearly eight Miles, from, the British right to the French left, and the lear rests tin the little stronghold of Balaclava, forming a rude triangle of which the sea is the base, and the fcpex is at the Tcherneya. The hilly distriot behind is rendered utterly impassable to artillerv and cavalry, or so commanded that the position is unassailable. Along the front the work of digging the trenohes had been in progress since the 3d of October, up to the 17th and along the rear the light-hearted sailors have been dragging the heavy guns, the gabions, fascines, and all the offensive and defensive implements of the siege, from morning till night. On the extreme right of the British lines the trenches, Which had to be dug at night, and that too, almost out Of the hard rook, are within 1200 yards of Fort Alkiar, which stands at the highest point of the defences of Sebastopol, and within a shorter distance of the earthen redoubts that form the outworks. There aro ibur trenches at this distance on the British front, besides smaller batteries on the various eminences along their position.

The Freneh, who have soft ground to Work in, took the Russians by surprise, by constructing ft ditch, parapet, and banquette, 2400 metres long, and Within 900 metres of the enemy's lines in a single night, and before they had any thought of what was going on. Every night has witnessed hard work with pick and Shovel, enlivened more than disturbed by the roar of cannon from the batteries, that inflioted no loss except to the Russians in ammunition. An occasional sortie put a Btop to the works, but the Russians were invariably driven home, without touching the works that they had come out to demolish. A one time a fatigue party on their Way to the trenches found themselves in the front of a fady of Russian cavalry, advancing to the attack At another an attack was expected to be made by the Russian army from the north, and it was said the Greeks were to provide a diversion by setting fire to Balaklava Ihe Greeks, to make sure of them, were packed off juen, women, and children and the army of Simpher- fv i. i' liaeii with an uu a.

All this time there was an ominous silence in the camps. Day after day saw scores of heavy can-aon hauled to their places behind the earth works reinforcements were continually arriving and by the 17th there wore 300 guns in position, and an army of 100,000 me.n behind them. Then it was that that tremendous sange of batteries extending, with occasional intervals, along the eight miles of semicircular front, and converging on one point, appear to have been unmasked ponthe doomed fortress.

Otrn Cousins opposite." are for ever bent on novlty and, we might say', oddity as well, They have taken the initiative, in a very independent fashion, in various movements that it would have required the zeal and moral courage of a martyr to attempt in the old coun try; out the oaaest even or American oddities that we-have beard of for some time is' the Baby Exhibition in-the state of Ohio. It is true, something of the kind wits proposed by Mr Colville, M.P., at an agricultural dinner the other day; but the farmers gave the enterprisina gentleman very little thank for his somewhat impertinent suggestions respecting that portion of their live stock.

The Amerioan parentage," however, look on matters of the kind very differently and accordingly it was arranged and advertised that, at the great fair at Springfield, in Clark county, in the state above mentioned, a competition in babies under 18 months should take place, and that prizes should be given to" the. best specimens of Young America. The idea was a good one, and seems to have taken immensely beyond-even the anticipations of the enterprising projectors for either parental pride, or the wish to' obtain one or bther of the pieces of plate which wore offered as prizes, drew beautiful babies from all parts of the country. The Cincinnati Times to whioh we the of the soeno tells us that the managers of the show were taken abaok by the interest manifested in the affair they had supposed that even their--liberal premiums would not tempt more than a dozen babies, or so, and had made arrangements accordingly." But lo and behold! they had no fewer than 130 cherubs entering themselves as candidates. The judges and judgesses had proceeded to contemplate the fair proportions of the first consignment, when a telegraph.io despatch arrived, instructing them to suspend proceedings, as a train was under steam with a hundred more.

The whole duly arrived, and the business of the fair, which was attended by 12,000 people, oame to a stand-still, so great was the anxiety for a.peep at the interesting candidates for baby honors, and the interest taken in the proceedings. Every tree within sight of the babies' tent was crowded with curious spectators.

The Cincinnati Times is not very sure whether to treat the matter as a good joke or an important affair.

It tells us that It was generally admitted that decidedly the prettiest child exhibition was from Cincinnati it ia the daughter of Mr Henry Howe. It 13 really a sweet child, and, without pretending to be judges, we must coincide with the general opinion. Large and fat children seemed to predominate. One from Indiana, only five months old, weighed 274 Another, four months old, weighed 20 lb." A pau- ot twins, ot mark county, attracted much attention. They were very pretty, and as near alike as two peas.

An elderly lady was present with her 17th baby, only two months old. She claimed nothing ex traordinary in tho child, but thought she was deserving of a premium and she certainly Without attempting to particularize, we will just say that we think all the babies presented were really pretty, and that their parents have just cause to he proud of them." There soems, however, to have been a difference of opinion among the judges on the merits of the pretty little Miss Howe. Her name did not appear among the premium babies, notwithstanding that she was the popu lar favourite and so great was the indignation, that a subscription was set afoot instantly, by the minority, and she was presented with a large and costly statuette of our Saviour blessing little children." How, really this affair, as a whole, seems to us to have been the most out-of-the-way sort of thing that we can possibly imagine. Its objeot is beyond our comprehension. It could not well have been to improve the breed, for really Yankees in general are themselves beyond improvement in any possible way, and what else could have been intended wo oannot, for the life of us, conceive.

THE PRICES OF When the crops were in the stook, the price of wheat was from 49s. to and oats from 26s. to per qr. and bo plentiful did the harvest appear, that we believe many people would gladly have sold their grain before it was threshed out, to save themselves from the expected fall. In various districts', we learn, great quantities were Bold.

The bakers were assailed very vigorously, north and south, to lower the price of bread, and the distillers were taken to task for keeping up the price of whisky. Indeed, so plentiful was the crop, and so good the prospects of the harvest everywhere, that the Times set itself to prove that the British public would, in the course of the next twelve months, save no less a sum than 24,000,000 on their bread alone Bix times the year's expense of the war. Well, we have had a harvest time almost unequalled in the memory of man. The cereal crops have been everywhere above average, both here and on the Continent, especially in France and Germany and in America were wereiew complaints. They have been got about with perfect safety, and the only drawbaok to the farmers' satisfaction was the prospect of the low price.

So insufficient, however, are the means within, our reach of forming anything like a probable estimate of the year's prices, that the 24,000,000 saving over which our very sanguine cotemporary congratulated the country, has vanished like a shadow, as it was, and we see its place the less pleasing prospect of nearly that amount of dead loss. Instead of wheat at and 56s we see it at 80s. and, as if to raise the price still higher, the Frenoh Government have added to their laws on the subject of grain a decree prohibiting its distillation. This rise, at the close of a harvest plentiful and excellent in every way, is one of those curious commercial phenomena that, every, now and then, arise from small and apparently inadequate causes. Every one knows that there can be no want of grain but, the same time, the last season's oaa crops France and.

Germany oalled out the whole of the stores in hand. There was the greatest want in Germany and the poorer nortionR of the people were at one time living on all -manner of garbage that they couia scrape together; in the fields and ditohes. In Paris', the want was so great, as will be remembered, that the Government took into its owa Abeived AtPETBKHEAia. October 24. Duchess of Northumher-laod, Mair, Sunderland; Alliance, Urqnhart, do.
