NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS. SS E. Pickering. -IF"e cannot ourselves answer the question put us nor can W8 conceive a reason for the apparently studied omission alluded too. If it be desired we will insert a letter on the subject. The letter on the bugling nuisance" will appear in our next.

STJ MMAUY^ Ix the early part of the week telegraphic des- patches were received from Vienna, stating that Prince Gortschakoif and the Russian army were in full retreat towards the isthmus of Perekop it was also reported from another source that the Allies had landed at Eupatoria with 30,000 men, that they had attacked the Russian division stationed between that port and Simpheropol, and defeated it—the Rus- sians retreating to the mountains in the rear. This intelligence, however, has not yet been confirmed, but that Prince Gortschakoff should evacuate the Crimea is probable enough, as his position there, now that Sebastopol has fallen into our hands, is allowed by all military authorities to be untenable. Beyond these rumours nothing of a positive nature has been received in relation to the movements of the contending armies, but that an attempt will be made before the termination of the campaign to force the enemy out of the Crimea, is pretty certain. The fleet has sailed from Sebastopol, but its destination remains a profound secret. Odessa, Nicholaieff, and other towns on the north-west shores of the Black Sea are men- tioned as the point of attack. The visit of the Emperor Alexander to the southern portions of his Empire is indicative of the uneasiness felt in St. Petersburg at the present aspect of affairs. Sebastopol was con- sidered the great bulwark of this part of the Empire, and now that it has fallen it is deemed necessary, if possible, to erect another. For this purpose, Nicholaieff, an important seaport on the Bug, is being fortified and strengthened, and if not attacked at once, it will no doubt in a short time be rendered almost impregnable. Russia will strain every nerve to restore her 11 supremacy in the Huxine it possible, and the Emperor is reported to have said that his last Cossack shall be sacrificed before he will con- sent to lose even the smallest portion of his dominions. Everything now will depend upon the energy and skill of the allied Generals, for with good management the Crimea may be easily swept of every Russian that is in it. The news from Asia Minor is not satisfac- tory. The garrison of Kars is sadly pressed for provisions, the inhabitants being already reduced to the necessity of eating horse flesh, and were it not for the presence of General Williams, who is most indefatigable in the de- fence of the town, it would doubtless ere this have fallen into the hands of the enemy. The troops which were originally destined, under the leadership of Omar Pashu, to reinforce the Turks in those regions have received counter orders, and according to a despatch received from Constantinople, they are to be shipped at once to Eupatoria, to assist in attackinc-Ir the 1 r» • army unaer rrmce liortschrtkoff. Were the Crimea entirely in the hands of the Allies, the army of Mouravieff would be completely isolated, and as it does not number more than 50,000 men, it might, without much trouble, be made to surrender at discietion. The Circas- sians are now masters of the passes in the mountains, by means of which alone it holds communication with Russia and ubtaint; supplies, and now that misfortune has overtaken their powerful enemy, they are not likely to remain very long in their present inactive state. In fact, were Kars and Erzeroun to be both taken, the army of Mouraveifi would scarcely better its position in relation to the general war. Indemnification for the expenses of the war j has already been mentioned as forming part of i the terms on which peace is to be concluded, but to this Austria and Prussia are not likely to acquiesce, unless indeed Russia should meet with some unexpected disaster and a more signal defeat, than she has hitherto sustained. Austria has no objection to see her powerful and arrogant neighbour humbled, and her mili- tary prestige lowered, but she would oppose any measures which would have a tendency to reduce her to the level of a second-rate power, unless she herself would be permitted to reap all the advantages, which under the present circumstances, is out of the question. The liberty and civilization of Western Europe arc- not in accordance with her notions of sove- rei; nty, and her sympathies after all are more in favour of Russia than with France and England. Her occupation of the Danubian Principalities, which she wishes to render per- manent, is sure to lead to complexities with the Allies, and probably will end in a general embroilment. There is scarcely anything to record from our fleet in the Baltic. The steam ships are returning home one by one, and as storm v I weather has already set in, the remainder will soon follow them. It is said that arrange- ments have been entered into for the allied fleets to winter at Kiel and at Hammersfest, in Norway, in which case they will be much nearer the scene of operations, in the ensuing Spring. The Revenue accounts have been published, and show an increase on the year of no less than £ 8,344,841. There is an increase in Property-tax of XCi,484,147, and in the cus- toms of £ 1,280,787. There is a decrease on Stamps, the Excise, and the Post-Ofifce, amounting altogether to j6238,737 on the year-. The returns on the whole are most satisfac- tory, and demonstrate the steady prosperity of the country despite of the war with Russia. Lord John Russell is again beginning to exhibit symptoms of political resuscitation. Some time ago the Press bewailed the absence of his Lordship from the arena ot his former labours and successes, in a lack-a-daisical kind of article, and hinted at a combination for the overthrow of the Ministry of Lord Palmerston. This week he has himself written to the Globe ignoring any and every connection with the Peace Party. It is evident that Lord John Peace Party. It is ev; John does not consider his mission fully com- pleted, and no doubt he will make a vigorous effort to regain his lost position. From India we learn that the Santal insur- rection is not yet subdued, but the depredators have been chased out of the plains, and have betaken themselves to their native mountains, where itlwill be difficult to follow them. There is also a religious war in the petty kingdom of Oude, and as the English have already inter- fered, it will doubtless end by their eventually annexing it. Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, our ambassador at the Porte, has given great offence to the Sultan by his objecting to the appointment of Mehemet Ali and as the interference was needless, if not impertinent, the British Cabinet have not supported him, and his recall from this important post most probably will ensue. The Prince of Prussia is still a wooing in the Highlands, and drives out almost daily with the Queen and the little Princess Royal. His alliance will not greatly please the English nation in their present mood, and the Times on Tuesday last hinted that his absence was much preferable to his presence. The Times has no notion of marrying the children of the Royal Family into what it anticipates will soon become a bankrupt monarchy-at least, for the present.

I THE REPULSE AT THE REDAN; I The full details of the capture of Sebastopol have now been laid before the public, not, in- deed, by means of despatches from the Com- manding General, for they are uninteresting and meagre enough, but by the talented and persevering reporters of the Press. Their de- scriptions are most vivid and minute, and depict the horrors of the assault in language worthy of the great occasion. The joy diffused by so glo- rious an event is much damped, however, by the fact that whilst the French were successful at the Malakhoff, the English suffered a repulse at the Redan, the enemy retreating from it in the night, without giving them the chance of re- trieving the fortune of the day. This is the more to be deplored, inasmuch as the result was caused by the incapacity of the Commander < 11 rva -> 11 i i and the inemcient, and almost childish arrange- ments which were made for its capture. The Redan was a place of immense strength, in some respects stronger and more difficult to capture than even the Malakhoff itself; yet, whilst Ge- neral Pelissier brought to the attack 30,000 ve- teran troops, the very flower of the French army, General Simpson, with inconceivable simplicity, only sent to the Redan some 1,200 raw recruits, with a reserve of veterans in the trenches amounting only to between 3 and 4,000. Yet these poor boys, who had never before met an enemy, bravely fought their way into the fort, in spite of a rire which perhaps was never surpassed for its murderous and deadly effect, and gallantly maintained them- sel ves in it for nearly two hours. What Gene- ral Simpson was doing all this time, and why t'o I L lug iroops in me irencnes (tia not inove to their support, to assist in securing the dearly-bought prize, are questions which must be answered, if no where else, at least before a court-martial. The interests of the whole n-uicn, and the pres- tige of the British army, have both been jeo- pardised, not by any misconduct or cowardice on the part of the troops, but by the most pal- pable incapacity and neglect on the part of the General. British soldiers have not degenerated, and in this war, from the Alma to the last as- sault, they have proved themselves worthy sons of those gallant warriors who won for hemselves. imperishable renown on the bloodv fields of Aibuera and Waterloo. Heroes as they are, they cannot be supposed to eifeet imoossi- bilities and no man, save an effete British Ge- neral, appointed by the rules of seniority, and not on account of personal capability, would for a moment have supposed that a fort defen- ded by 10,000 chosen troops could be taken and held by so weak a body of men as was sent against the Redan. There is a class of men who learn nothing by experience—whom disasters and reverses themselves cannot teach, and to that class the military authorities at the Horse Guards seem to belong. Napoleon Buonaparte is said to have once remarked that, with French officers and British soldiers he could successfully combat with the whole world and although the sentiment may be somewhat exaggerated, the history of all our great wars fully proves the inferiority of our highest class of ofifcers to those of the French. This arises not from any natural difference in the military aptitude of the two nations, but from the absurd regulations adopted by the British military authorities. Merit is reward- ed in the French army-rank and influence in the English and as long as this is permitted to exist, the inferiority will be rendered but too painfully apparent. For ourselves, if it were at all practicable, we would willingly ignore ali war, for we know that the good it achieves is often most questionable, whilst its attendant evils are as certain as they are appalling. The Millenium,however, has not yet arrived-wrong and oppression are not yet extinguished, and as long as they exist, contests between nations, as between individuals must continue. If it be found necessary, then, to uphold Right and to repress T yranny, there is certain l y no reason why it should be attempted in such a manner as to defeat its own ends. War is a terrible evil, we know, but it is oten the only alterna- tive left to a nation without sacrificing its ho- nour but for its successful prosecution it re- quires talents and virtues which usually are not needed in the everyday affairs of life. Expe- rience does not necessarily produce wisdom, nor does age always imply vigour and activity, but the two latter especially are essential in a com- mander. General Simpson, coolly sitting in the trenches, with his martial cioak around 1- • J) 1.1 /«! t -m mm, in oraer to Keep oil the dust of the attack and to preserve himself from the cold wind of an autumn morning, is certainly not the beau ideal of a great general; nor do we think that British troops, who are renowned all over the world for their powers of endurance and steady valour, should be placed under the direction of one who on so momentous an occasion could so demean himself. The English soldier is still respected by friend and foe, despite the dis- aster at the G1.'ea lletian, but the rule of seniority, by which aged and infirm Generals only can be appointed, has been a severe blow and a great discouragement, which the nation ought to improve to its own advantage.

ALDKliMAN SALOMONS. j Another link from the chain with which re- ligious fanatics seek t:> hold in thraldom the consciences and civil tights of their fellow citi- zens has this week been triumphantly detached, and Alderman Soiomons, to the utter dismay of the unco gude," has been elected Lord Mayor of London. His election took place on Saturday last, and certainly speaks much in favour of the good sense and truly liberal instincts of this, the rich- I est and most powerful corporate community in the world. Mr. Salomons, we believe, filled the office of sheriff some twenty years ago, and for mnny years he has been an alderman of the city. His election will constitute a new era in the history of English bodies corporate, and as a great principle is involved in it, we sincerely rejoice in the circumstance. With the religi- ous views of Mr. Salomons we have nothing whatever to do—they may be right or wrong, but he alone is responsible for them, and he has in consequence a perfect right to enjoy them. But it is a monstrous enormity that a man's re- ligious belief should be made to interfere with his civil rights and privileges as a British sub- ject, and that his private and conscientious opi- nions, so long as he in other respects conducts himself as a loyal and faithful subject, should disentitle him to act in any civil office whatso- ever. The days when we burnt heretics at the stake, have happily long since passed away and although Exeter Hall still flourishes, and intolerance does and ever will exist, it is a sub- ject for rejoicing to find that it is necessitated to adopt somewhat milder forms ef expression than in the good old times of fire and faggot. We have strong faith in .the truth of Christia- nity—in its principles, and above all, in its adaptation to the spiritual and temporal neces- sities of man but we demur at displaying that faith by narrow-minded persecution, which, of itself, is opposed to its essential and first prin- ciples. As England was not made over to the Pope by the Emancipation Act of 1829, nor the country ruined by opening the trade to India and China, nor the farmers reduced to the po- sition of paupers by the Free Trade measures of Sir Robert Peel, neither do we anticipate that the Kingdom will be un-Christianized by the election of Mr. Salomons, Jew though he be, to the high office of Lord Mayor of Lon- don. The sanctimonious seeming" portion of the community will doubtless affect much hor- ror at the impiety of the proceedings, but the majority of Englishmen will only recognise an appropriate carrying out of a principle which has long been admitted in theory, but till now never reduced to practice.

I WREXIIAM BOWLIXG CLUB. I The members of this club held their annual closing dinner on Friday, the 28th ult., when a friendly match for a silver cup (in specie) and two other pmportionate prizes was played. It was agreed that tne players should be drawn in sets" of four; but as all the sub- scribers to the prize fund did not make their appear- ance on the Green at tue hour fixed upon for the com- mencement of the game, it became necessary to deviate from the original arrangement and to have one set of six. After the first draw had been played, the rain descended in torrents-the green became completely flooded, and it being evidently impossible to complete the game that evening, an adjournment to the follow- ing Monday was agreed on. An abundant and varied spread had been provided by the worthy host of the Bowling Green, to which ample justice was done by about thirty gentlemen who sat down to it; but for the unpropitious state of the weather there is little doubt there would have been double the number of guests assembled. On Monday, after the conclusion of the game a supper was provided, to which about 25 of tne members sat down. Mr, Hcj wood was elected president, Mr. Bury, vice- president, and Mr. Glascodine, secretary for the ensuing year. The following are the particulars of the game:- FIHST DKAW.—Mr. Moulson, Mr. Richards. and Mr. Hey wood, beat Mr. Mason, Mr. King, and Mr. Coleman. Mr. Williams and Mr. Roberta, beat Mr. Bury and Mr. Griffiths. Mr. Grant and Mr. Glascodino beat Mr. Pugh and Mr. Eyton. Mr. Batty and Air. Done beat Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Beirne. SECOND DKAW.—Mr. Batty and Mr. Heywood beat Mr. Roberts. Mr. Moulson beat Mr. Grant. M- r. Giascodine beut Mr. Done. THIJUB DRAW.—Mr. Moulson and Mr. Williams beat Mr. Butty. Mr. Heywood beat Mr. Giascodine. DECIDING GAME.—Mr. Heywood, 1st out, winning the Cup." Mr. Williams, second out, winning 2nd prize. Mr. Moulson, third out, winning the 3rd prise. There was some very fine bowling-that of Mr. Heywood, the winner, being (particularly on the Mon- day) especially admired.

WREXHAM PETTY SESSIONS, MOXDAY, OCT. 1. I (Before Capt. Panton, R.N., and Thomas Griffith, Esq.) I CHARGES OF TRESPASS. William Ind Martin Roberts were charged by W m Vaughan with a breach of the game laws on the 10th o Sept.—Peter Tilston, Pulford, aged 19, said he lived a Mr. Edwards's, Cook's Bridge farm. He saw the defend ants on the 10th of Sept., upon Crab Mill farm; they were in search of game with a gun each, but he did not see any dogs with them. They were in a turnip field, and came out or that field along the hedge into another thev were standing when he saw them, at the nearest point 160 yards from him. Witness ou being asked, said he did not see them after he saw them shooting.—Cross examin- ed by Mr. 11. B. -Thelwall Bccognised the dcicudauts in I the field by their gait and height. When he saw them they were standing with their laces towards him he had not been told what to say but saw them himself. There was one hedge between him and defendants twice as high as himself ,• he did not gee them through it, but saw them over it off a load of corn, which he was on at the time in question, and Win. Lawson was pitch- ing to him. There was no other witness in the case, and Mr. Thelwall in submitting it to the Bench thought that the identity was not sufficiently proved in the evidence adduced that the defendants were upon the land. The Bench gave their dicision that the case v:.s net supported, and it was dismissed. W. Roberts, Darland, was charged by W. Vaughan, with a breach of the game laws on the above °day. I Samuel Liversage, Allington, saw the defendant on Mr. Jones's land, and he and defendant changed words together. Saw him about a. turnip field with two dogs, but did not knoW" at first whe- ther they were bull dogs or pointers. He could not tell how defendant held his gun, he went in different parts of the ueld. Witneess was raking in Cook's Bridge farm did not speak to defendant till he spoke to him, and asked was the master in the field and he told him he was not.—Cross-examined by Mr. Thel- wal.—Defendant had no dogs with him when he spoke to witness on Mr. J oner's farm, there were two dogs with him in the next field belonging to Mr. Woolrich, Crab Tree tarm. Witness did not see him walking about the fiell in pursuit of game. Did not see him shoot, he heard a report of a gun afterwards but could not tell whether defendant shot: The sound came from the same direction as he saw defendant. The magistrates gave their decision that the com- j plaint was laid on the wrong farm, and the case was dismissed. I 'U '°., ROBBING ORCHARDS. i -»• i i JVlereaitn Humphreys and Edward Hushes were charged by P.C. Seijeant Owen with robbing the gar- den of Mr. Jones, at Felin-Puleston, on Sunday, Sep- tember 6th, between 7 and 8 o'clock in the morning —Mary Price, servant of Mr. Jones, was the only wit- ness. She saw both defendants in the pear tree through the window on the above-mentioned day. Saw them after on the bridge eating pears, and they asked her to throw some apricots over the hedge from a tree nailed to the wall. The tree was not quite oppo- site the window, but had a sideward aspect, and the leaves were very thick. One was in his shirt sleeves, and the other in a white jacket. She was not deceiv- ed her sight was not affected. Witness had had a quarrel with Mrs. Hughes, one of the boys' mother who had been making observations on her personal ap- pearance, by applying the epithet "red-headed" to her behind her back.N-lr. PLIgh said Hughes was not out of the house at the time, but was in bed. Humi/tirevs was passing on the public highway for water, ami he should deny that these were the parties.—Catherine Hughes was then called, and she said she was up at halt-past six on the morning in question. Her son slept in the same room as she did, and he got up at 20 minutes to eight, and was not out before nine. She went for wash to Mr. Jones's, and Mary Price said to her, The wash is here, and I am the red-head." She had seen her (witness's) boy in the pear-tree, and for spite would tell her master of it.—Jane Roberts said alio got up about seven. Had directed her son to go .,r Part of the pear-tree hangs over the road. —William Roberts, her son, was next t;alled.-Ife was sent for water between 7 and 8 o'clock. Edward Hum- phreys went with him to the well. Did not stop on the ruad with him. While going they saw two or three pears on the road under the tree, and picked them up. He came with witness to the bridge, and there he stopped. Witness did not see Edward Hughes till 10 o'clock. Mr. Panton said the weight of the evidence was against the I conviction,?and as it was not sufficient to prove the iden- tity of the charge, the defendants were dismissed. ASSAULT CASE. Sarah Catheral, toll-keeper, was charged by Mr. Kew- ley with an assault.—Complainant said he gave defendant the ticket, and she struck him on the shoulder with a key, or a lock, or something of the kind.—Defendant said that complainant knocked the shutter, and said u If you don't come out I'll break all the windows. She opened the gate to let him through,1"and he struck herewith the whip. She afterwards threw a lock at hii-a.-Fined Is. with 7s. 6d. costs. DRUNK AND DrnRnH'IH.V Aaron Humphreys was charged by P.C,Joseph Nadin with being drunk and disorderly on September 9, at one o'clock on Sunday morning. Fined 5s., with 8s. costs. A .NEIGHBOURLY SQUABBLE, Edward Evans was charged by John Holland with "all assault on Monday evening last, at Brymbo. As com- plainant and his wife were going faloug the road, defen- dant came to him to fight. His wife endeavoured to keep defendant away, but could not prevent him from striking him.—Thomas Jones was called, and said he was not by when the quarrel commenced. He heard Edward Evans's wife shrieking. Defendant's wife and witness tried to hold him from fighting.—Edward Rogers said he knew Edward Evans from a child. Was now a blacksmith for Mr. Darby. He was not there at the commencement. Defendant told witness that Holland stopped him on the road. They both fell out and fought.—Fined 25. 6d., and costs 12s. We are happy to be enabled to state that J. Kenrick Lewis, Esq., surgeon of this town, has been appointed medical officer to the Great Westeru Railway Company, for the Wrexham District. AWFUL SUDDEN DEATH IN W REXHAM.-On Thurs- day night last, a woman named Richards, (whose hus- band is a private in ■ the Royal Denbigh Rifles,) was at the Dolphin public-house, in Mount-street, about 12 o'clocks at night, and7suddenly fell down dead.

The immediate causo of death is unknown.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—TUESDAY. This morning we had but few country millers at market and a very limited demand for wheat. Old wheat was re- tailed at about the Quotations of last Tuesday, but, owing chiefly to the inferior quality, Irish new wheat could not be sold, even at decline of two pence to three pence per bush- el. Oatmeal was Is per load, and new Oats 2d to 3d per bushel lower. Peas 210. per qr. dearer on the week. NEWGATE AND LEADEN H ALL.—MONDAY.

MARK LANE-WEDNSEDAY The supplies of grain have not been extensive, and conse- quently there has been little aiieration in the trade, Wheat is supported at. former quotations, and barley and oats have not essentially varied. LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET.—MONDAY. We had a fair selling market to-day, and a [slight re- covery in the value of both beef allli mutton, the best des- criptions of which were scarce and dearer by id. per pound than for the last two weeks. Our supplies were-2.112 "Beasts; C ,988 sheep. WREXHAM MARKET—THURSDAY. I The attendance this day was very good and samples of new wheat was in abundance. We saw but little old wheat but not of first rate quality. Prices had a downward ten- dency and millers were not slack in taking advantage of it The closing prices were Old wheat 10s 9d to 115 6d.

MuRnER. IN DUNDEE.-On Saturday night last, a brutal murder was committed in Dundee, the victim was a man named Owen Smith. We have not learnt the circumstances which led to the fatal affair, but Smith had one side of his belly ripped open by a knife, besides being fearfully bruised about the face and head by a series of savage kicks, one of which, direc- ted against the lower part of the face, produced lock- jaw, and, as much as the stabbing, was the cause of death. The murderer, whose name is Collins, or Col- linston, fled after the committal of the crime, in what direction was at first unknown. The authorities in Dundee, however, telegraphed immediately to all the surrounding police stations, describing his dress and appearance, and we have leamt that on Monday eve- ning he was apprehended at Perth, whence he was conveyed to Dundee, where he will be examined pre- paratory to his committal on the charge of murder.- Edinburgh Daily Express. nOLLOWYS PILLS,-A Certain cure for liver com- plaints. Mr. Daniel Jones, collier, of Treman, Wales, was for seven years a severe sufferer from the effects of a diseased liver, and although he had the best medical advice, he became worse; in fact, he was re- duced to such a state of weakness, combinsd with difficulty of breathing, that life appeared to be ebbing fast away. In despair he at last tried Holloway's Pills: alter a few doses he experienced a change for the better, md by continuing them for a short time, he was entirely cured, after every other means had failed to afford him the slightest relief. A MAN'S HAND BITXEX OFF BY A HORSE.—A sur- gical operation of a very interesting character was per- formed at Fort Pitt hospital, Chatham, on Monday, on a soldier named Thomas Dance, belonging to the 12th -Lancers, who had his arm amputated for the second time, in consequence of the frightful injuries he received from being bitten by a ferocious horse in the Crimea. Dance was engaged at Balaklava drawing water for the troops, and, while so occupied, saw a horse, wuh mane and tail erect, galloping furiously towards him. In a moment the horse seized liun in his mouth, threw him down, and kueeling on his body with his fore legs, commenced tear- ing his clothes off, lacerating his breast and shoulder in a frightful manner. The poor fellow put out his hand to protect the lower part of his body, when the auimal seized it in his mouth and bit it off. Some of his comrades comin to his succour, armed with stout clubs, the fer- ocious beast was beaten off. Before, however, the horse could be secured he bit off the llnsrcr of another man severely and injured the shoulder of the veteriuary surgeon of the regimeut.—South Eastern Gazette. DARING BURGLARY.—A daring burglary was com- mitted on the night of Monday last, or rather early on the morning of Tuesday, at Baglan-hall, near Neath, the residence of Mr. Griffith Llewellyn, a magistrate of the county of Glamorgan. The house was entered through a large window, at the end of the house most remote from the servants' office, a small piece of glass being cut out to get at the window lock, and the same mode pursued with the shutter to remove the iron bar inside. Access was thus gained into an apartment used as an office, where the thieves burst open the drawers in an office table and ransacked the room but without finding anything of value. From this, across the entrance lobby, they proceeded to the drawing-room, and took thence a pair of silver candlesticks and some other articles of plate, &c. There was in the drawing SvorTfK -m of money, but the thieve! Sto d?eover it, being probably alarmed. In the morning  at fiadiQe ? front door amd the office door wide open.

PUBLIC FEELING IN RUSSIA. (From the Morning Chronick.) BERLIN, Thursday Evening.—Rumours have been rife to-day in well-informed circles, that the Russian Govern- ment has invited Prussia to take steps towards a renewal of negotiations with the Western Powers.

PRINCE GORTSCHAKOFF'S ADDRESS TO THE ARMY. On the 11th ult. Prince Gortschakoff issued an order of the day, addressed to the army of the Crimea. The Prince admits a loss of from 500 to 1000 men a-day during the last thirty days of the siege. The last bom- bardment was carried on by an infinite number of pro- jectiles of a calibre unprecedented, was so destructive that to continue to defend the south side of Sebasto- pol would have been to expose the troops to be use- lessly murdered, and their preservation is to-day more than ever necessary to the Emperor and to Russia. On these grounds, says the Prince, with grief, but with determination, I came to the determination of eva- cuating the south side. He then notices the assault ou the 8th, and points out the extraordinary difficulties of the ground, which prevented the Russians regaining the Malakhoff without incalculable losses. Besides, the Prince had already determined on abandoning the town, and the troops remained before the Malakhoff simply to prevent the French extending their attack beyond it into the town. The bravery exhibited by the garrison had the effect not only of preventing the French following the Russians while evacuating the place, but even of bringing their ar- tillery to bear, which could have been done with impunity in spite of the explosions. The Prince adds-" Valiant comrades, it is grievoits- it is hard to leave Sebastopol to the enemy, but remem- her the sacrifices you made on thealtar of your country in 1812. Moscow was abandoned after the immortal battle of Borodino. The defence of Sebastopol during 349 days is superior to Borodino. It is not Sebastopol that we have left in the enemy's hands, but burning ruins that we have set fire to ourselves, having defended it with so much honour that our grandchildren will trans- mit the proud recollection to the most distant poste- rity. Sebastopol enchained us to its walls. With its fall we acquire more freedom of action, and a new war commences. The Prince thanks, by name, the officers who have most highly distinguished themselves during the siege, and then refers to the dead, sayincr: -Remember the immortal names of Nachitnoff, Koruiloff, Istomine, and let us address our prayers to the Almighty that He will grant them peace, and render their memory eter- nal, and as an example to the future generations of Russians."

THUNDERSTORM IN LIVERPOOL. On Thursday, between twelve and one o'clock, Liver- pool was visited by a fierce thunderstorm. The morning was peculiarly fine, soft, and bright, but shortly after 12 o'clock the atmosphere assumed a very sable hue, and for a brief time increased almost to nocturnal darkness. Some rain came down, and then a terrific shower of hail follow- ed, amid the most vivid flashes of lightning and roaring of thunder, which shook the very streets and houses. The storm, while it lasted, was appallingly grand. The hail was nearly as large as toy marbles, and in many places windows were broken by the force with which the hard substances was hurled against them. The streets were deluged with water, and streams capable of turning an ordinary mill rushed through the leading thoroughfares, particularly where there was an incline. Considerable damage was done to houses and windows, and in some instances at shop doors—drapers—the goods were ignited and partially burnt by the lightning. A poor man, ia Park Lane was struck blind by the fluid, and the Mary Hale, lying in the Victoria Dock, had her top-gallant masts smashed to atoms. About two o'clock, by some singular chance, the electric fluid struck a portion of a firework manufactory, where the operation of making these combustible articles was going; on. The house in- stantly blew up, and with the explosion, a public house next door was also quite destroyed. Several persons who were engaged in the manufactory were injured by the ex- plosion, three or four so severely that it is doubtful whe- ther they will recover. The lire engines from Temple- court, with Air. Hewitt, were ia attendance, and succeed- ed in extinguishing the flames. The premises are left a mass of ruius. There was also a considerable quantity of minor damage; but, fortunately, we did not hear of any life being lost. The visitation was one of the most sud- den and severe that has passed over Liverpool for some time. DEATH OF SIR ROBERT ADA.TR.-We regret to an- nounce the death of the Right Hon.

I I To the Editor of the Wrexham Advertiser. I Sin, In your paper of last week I perceive a letter from a person signing himself "Tasso," in which at- tention is drawn to the indecent outrages which art nightly being perpetrated in the Rhos-ddu Burial- ground by some abandoned and thoughtless characters; and as some respect is due from the living to the mo. mory of the departed, and to the spot set apart for tlu 96 sleepless dead," I hope the individuals especially 1- terested will at cnee adopt measures for protecting their remains from wanton insult and desecration. Pen- ally I know several gentlemen who are willing to sub- scribe for this desirable end, and as the stigma is one partICularly affecting the dissenting body, it is to b0 hoped that steps will be at once taken to prevent the disgrace, by building a wall around the grounds I question The expense will not be very great, an were a few individuals but to bestir themselves, tho necessary sum might be raised in a few days. Thanking your correspondent for his letter, and bop I ing it will lead to a removal of the nuisance, rrr I am, sir. vours &c., I W rexliam, Sept. 26. A DISSENTBB. I

GENERAL SIMPSON. The Times says-It is generally reported, and we suspect correctly, that General Simpson has already ceased to command the British army, or that, at least, he only retains that command until his successor is ap- pointed.
