I THE WAR IN ASIA. PARIS, Dec. 10. The intelligence from Asia is anything but assuring. There is no notice of the f411 of Kars, but if the following intelligence is correct, we may fear to learn that the heroic garrison has surrendered.—The German Frankfort Journal says: Selitn Pacha has been compelled to renounce his attempt to relieve Kars, because his detachment of 6,000 regulars and 5,000 irregular troops, which was to guard the great convoy of provisions destined for the besieged town, was too late to pass the defiles occupied by the enemy. In Kars the distress was at its height, for famine and typhus ravaged the garrison, which only received a third of its primitive rations. The garrison did not hope to be able to maintain themselves beyond the ISth of November, when they would be forced to surrender if not succoured." FALL OF KARS. According to the Constantinople correspondent of the Pays, the heroic garrison of Kars, decimated by disease and famine, have been compelled to capitulate. Galignani, however, observes, "that this intelligence must be prema- ture, as the Invalile Russe would otherwise have already acclaimed the triumph of General Mouravieff." The Morning Post has the following:- We regret to state that authentic intelligence has been received which leaves no doubt as to the fate of Kars. Ismail Pacha (General Kmety), with another officer, who succeeded in eluding the vigilance of the Russian ontposts, have effected their escape. When they quitted Kars, Gen. Williams had been compelled by famine to send a flag of truce to the Russian camp, offering capitulation." (From the Globe.) I Kars has capitulated. We did not think when, only two days ago, we wrote that the fall of Kars would seem to be only a question of time," that the itclligence of its fall would reach us so soon. Selim Paclia was too slow; Omar Pasha too far off; Mouravieff was close at hand, and famine, his staunch ally, was present in the citv and the lines. Winter with impartial rigour, fought alike for and against the enemy. Winter tried the endurance of the Russian troops, but it also diminished the chance of getting supplies and placed obstructions in the way of the advance of the troops at Erzeroum. Gumri. well-provided, and offering a secure shelter, was only fifteen or twenty mites from the Russian camp. The road lay across a plain, every inch undisturbed. Erzeroum was four times the distance; instead of a plain, a mountain range, pierced only by rugged passes, in the occupation of the enemy, intervened between the Turkish garrison and a problematical succour. Able to resist the sustained attack of the whole Russian army, the Turks found a keener foe in hunger and incapable of resisting this foe any longer, General Williams sent a flag of truce to the Russian camp, and offered to capitulate. No doubt by this time terms have been arranged, the Russian flag floats over the citadel of Kars for the second time within thirty years, and general Mouravieff, by his constancy, has retrieved his defeat of the 29th Sepfember. The news of the catastrophe is brought by General Kmety who, with another officer, eluded the Russian cordon and escaped. We confess that the escape of the brave Hungarian who for two years has done his duty as a soldier so ably on the frontier of Turkish Armenia, is very gratifying. He had every inducement to get away. Had he been captured it is not improbable that he would have found his wav into an Austrian prison. General Kmety served too conspicuously in Hungary in 1848-9 to be forgotten. Let us hope that his sword will yet find opportunities of winning fresh-reputation for its master. The siege of Kars forms one of the bright pictures in the w -1r. Fortified in haste, defended by the relics of a beaten army a mere handful of men-but guided by skilful and zealous British officers, Kars has sustained a blockade of six months, and has repelled two assaults. The enemy were close to their resources, the devoted garrison were cut off from the world. Yet the constancy of the latter never failed, until hunger, absolutely compelled them to surrender. The British people will know how to appreciate the gallant fortitude of their noble brethren—General Williams, Lieute- n.1t Colonel Lake, Major Teesdale, Captain Thompson, Mr. Churchill, Dr. S.indwith-wbo have shown the Turks how to defend their country and to temper valour with endur- ance. Let us hope that they will be speedily exchanged and in another campaign retrieve, before Gumri and Tiflis, the loss of Kars. The possion of Kars gives the enemy control of Turkish Armenia, and the country south of Ararat and, if the Kurds have risen, they will find that they have risen too late in the campaign. The questions for the future are-will Mouravieff advance upon Erzeroum, and will the news of the fall of Kars cause Omar Pacha to halt :in his advance upon Kutais ? Will not the Russian success in Asia force the Allies to look more closely to the war in that quarter and, in another campaign, lend them the aid of European troops, in addition te European officers ?

OMAR PACHA'S ARMY. The Times of Wednesday contains a letter from its corre- spondent with Omar Pacha's army. He recounts a recon- naissance into Sugdidi. Sugdidi, is, after Kutais, the principal town of Mingrelia. It is situated upon a gentle eminence, which overlooks a rich country, and to the right of which extends a vast level plain, where the army is now encamped. The town itself is composed of two strrets of wooden houses, shaded by avenues of beech-trees. A week ago it probably contained about 2,000 inhabitants at pre- sent there is not a living creature to be seen in it, except a few stray curs, who must before our arrival have been exeess;vely astonished at finding themselves the only inhab- itants of a once bustling town. The streets run into a square, upon one side of which is situated the magnificent residence of the Princess Dadian, only one wing of which is completed, while the other two are composed of the Greek church and its adjacent buildings, and the picturesque wooden residence of Prince Gregoire. We entered the palace of the Princess, and found the most magnificent col- lection of furniture in the drawing-room. After satisfying his curiosity. Omar Pacha placed guards at all the entrances to the palace, and to the gardens, which are extremely beautiful and laid out with great taste. There are the choicest flowers in great profusion, and extensive fruit gardens and orangeries, while the deer and peafowl wander about completely their own masters. The Princess Dadian, who i::J said to have been very beautiful, was married to Prince Dadian, who had by her one son. Since the death of her husband she has been acting as Regent for this boy, who is about eight years old. Her husband had two brothers Constantine and Gregoire, both of whom have fled with their sister-in-law to her residence in the mountains, about a day's journey d;stant from here. The sister of the Princess is married to Prince Michael, of Abasia. Since the arrival of Omar Pacha a few peasants who had been taken prisoners have been sent home, and told thatl their property and countrymen would be respected everywhere by the Tur- kish army. Sentries aro posted at the church and in the streets, to prevent any one from entering them; and so strict are the orders against plunder of any sort that no shooting is allowed near the camp, which, considering the quantities of woodcocks and pheasants in the woods and the great scarcity of animal diet, is rather a privation. It is to be hoped that Prince Michael, who has just ar- rived and established himself in Gregoire's house, may in- fluence the political sentiments of his sister-in-law, and that she may see fit to espouse definitely the cause of the allies, and to assist the operatious of the Turkish army. It would have been in the highest degree advantageous if the British agent here had been empowered to treat with the authorities of these petty States, and to guarantee them that indepen- dence without which they cannot be expected to take arms up against a Power which may one day retaliate upon them severely. The question of what are we to do with the Trans-Caucasian provinces is easily settled. When they are independent, let them be left to themselves, protected from Russia by the Caucasus and by treaty. Meantime Omar Pacha, is not troubling himself with speculations regarding the future destiny of the provinces he is conquering. He is content with having landed his army, marched 70 miles, and won a battle in five weeks." A letter from Warsaw of the 4th, in the Danube of Vienna, says Extraordinary activity is being digplaved in effecting the new recruitment, and in arming and exercising the men, and it is certain that the forced truce of trie winter will be very useful to the Russians. They are in particular endeavouring to form riflemen, and not only do they obtain Minie rifles from Liege, but they are causing others to be made at Tula on the model of some taken from the French before Sebastopol. In each corps of Russian infantry at present there is only one battalion exercised with the rifle-that is one man in 48-a propor- tion far inferior to that in the armies of the allied Powers and it is on that account that the number of riflemen is being increased. Not only are the battalions of riflemen in Finland being raised to their full effective strength, but a rifle corps is being formed, and each government is required to raise one or two battalions, and to have them armed chiefly at the expense of the nobles." The King of the Two Sicilies continues to make grea military pieparations. New field-guns have been cast, and the corps of engineers has been considerably increased Orders have also been given to build several large steam- frigates, and the Lake Averno is to be tranformed into a great military port, by opening a communication between it and the sea. I can assure you, without fear of contradiction, that Jtussia has found in Holland a banking-house which has finally concluded a loan, as I have already announced, as contemplated. This house is known by the immense capital at its disposal. The name of one of the inerriburi ot this house has unhappily lately been before the public in connection with a story scandilously domestic. At present the individual in question possesses in Paris a I,t,ll-known hotel, which he seldom occupies. He is a JIaturalied Englishman. It is easy to understand what Mort of impassion such an event, hostile to the allied overnments, has produced on finding enemies where they nllght expect patriuiism and loyalty. I can assure you that the Governmei,ts of France and England are likely to investigate this affair with the utmost severity, as it lays the dfendlll partie open to serious consequences, which the uw will assujtedly uupaae.

THE BIRMINGHAM CATTLE SHOW. The Smithfield Club may hide its diminished head, for this year's show at Bingley-hall, Birmingham, beats that in Baker-street hollow, so entirely, indeed, as to suggest the gravest doubts whether the clu I t, will be ever able to bring up its leeway. The superiority is manifested, not only in par- ticular breeds, but as a collective whole in the variety and comprehensiveness of the display. Besides, the one has distinctive, appropriate, and splendid features which the other wants entirely, as witness the exhibition of poultry and of roots. The high price of oilcake has had no such influence upon the entries at Birmingham as is visible in Baker-street, for even the unsuccessful animals are, with hardly an excep tion, in prime condition, and, though the total number of cattle is hardly so large as it was last year, the sheep are considerably more numerous. In both as to quality a magnificent show is made, leaving little further to be reasonably desired, and nothing to be complained of. The committee of management are evidently pursuing a vigorous and therefore successful career of usefulness, un- fettered by any of those influences which seem to oppress the energies of the Smithfiell Club. They have in their arrangements displayed a just and even liberal consideration for the merits of the established breeds, and yet not lost sight of a principle that an exhibition of fat stock at this season of the year must mainly be regarded from the butch- ers "and consumers' point of view. No invidious distinc- tions are drawn in the prize lists between pure breds and crosses, and evidences are not wanting to prove that the supporters of the show are well inclined to venture out of the beaten track in preparing animals for competition. In short, the comprehensive and liberal character appropriate to shows of the kind is amply preserved. As might be expected, the Herefords form the strongest feature in the display of cattle, again carrying off the palm from the shorthorns and all other breeds. Mr. Heath's ox, and Mr. Price's heifer, the winners of the only gold medals awarded, are far superior to any animals of the kind at Baker-street; but what strikes one still more than their particular excellence is the general high quality of the show in this valuable description of stock. The shorthorns are not equal to the Herefords, but the breed is well repre-I sented throughout its classes, and though there are no single beasts equal to the Marquis of Exeter's ox or Mr. Ambler's cow at Baker-stred, the show as a whole, even in this de- partment, does not lose by comparison. In Devons it would be unreasonable to expect that any great diplay should be made, but the two prize cows are nevertheless very superior specimens of their kind, The longhorns, still appear in the I lists, and have not yet been entirely foresworn by the agri- culturists of the Midland counties. Among crossbreeds we trace many indications of an increased tendency to ex peri- mentalize, with the view of ascertaining what are the best results that can be obtained thereby. Thus, Mr. Wilson, of Coleshill, Warwickshire, exhibits an excellent cross between a Devon and a shorthorn, the Duke of Beaufort a fine animal, half west Highland, and half Gloucester, the Earl of Derby a remarkable cross between Brahmin and shorthorn, and Mr. W T. Cox, of Spondon, Derbyshire, a cross-bred cow of wonderful size, the stirps of which is not defined. It is worthy of notice that the attempt to infuse Brahmin blood Into the English race of cattle has now beeu pursued for several years, and by more than one exhibitor, so that it is not to be regarded as the hobby of an individual. The beef thus obtained is said to be of very superior quality. Next to the splendid display of Herefords the chief distinction is the number and excellence of West Highlanders and polled Galloways exhibited. The former description of stock produces the finest beef, but is slow of coming to maturity and never attains the size of more southern breeds. For years it has, in consequence, been in disfavour among the graziers, and probably will continue to be so. Noblemen, however, and great landowners who have parks which they desire to see picturesquely occupied, and with whom economy is less considered than the gratifica- tion of the palate, show a strong predilection for these moun- tain cattle. Among the exhibitors of them the Duke of Sutherland, Lord Ward, and Colonel Pennant are included. Mr. Robb, of lhorpfield, Thirsk, is, of course, among the competitors, but is not so successful as usual, the chief prize being deservedly awarded to Mr. Campbell, of Monzie Castle, Perthshire. Some polled Galloways, of extraor- dinary excellence, ar-e also shown in this class; and we must not omit to notice a Welsh ox of Colonel Pennant's wonderful in ize, and, though coarse in the handling, not unshapely, which it is said has been sold for X70. In sheep the display is superior to that of any previous year, both as to numbers and quality. Leicesters are well represented, but Bingley-hall does not exhibit the anomaly of coming out more strongly than usual in a description of stock which has been for some time declining in the estima- tion of the agricultural public. There is a fine show of Cots- wolds, and the reputation of Southdowns is well sustained by Lord Walsingham, though in this particular breed the best specimens are hardly as good as those at Baker-street. The real strength, however, of the show, as a display of fat sheep, lies in the Shropshires, which, overriding every pre- judice, are now firmly established as a distinct breed through- out the midland counties. The cross-breeds also form a splendid and interesting collection, and, with the Shropshires, contribute greatly to that useful practical character which these annual exhibitions ought to strive at, and which the Stnithfield Club seems desirous to throw away. There is an immense display of pigs, larger considerably than that at Baktr-street, and quite remarkable for the great advance indicated in this description of stock, as compared with former years. The Smithfield show, however, has still the best of it, when the prize animals are compared. Some faint conception of the poultry may be formed, when we mention that there were 1,5-56 entries of fowls, ducks, geese, and turkeys, 43 of eattagers' poultry, and 201 of pigeons, making a grand total of 1,808 pens. Fancy, therefore, the cockcrowing, quacking, cackling, and cooing. Jullien's last monster concert is a mere joke to the uproar of sound and the variety of notes thus mingled together in one grand dis- cordant poultry-yard chorus.

THE SMITIIFIED CLUB SHOW. The show of fat stock at the Baker-street Bazaar this year is hardly so go as usual. The show of Devons, which used to be well represented, is this year inferior both in quality and in number. The Herefords, though there are not many of them, include some fine specimens, and in this breed the display made is above an average. In shorthorns there are only two or three animals worthy of much notice, the majo- rity falling much below the standard of former years. The Marquis of Exeter's ox, however, which carnes away the gold medal, has some splendid points about him, and will be much admired by the sight-seers. There are some good polled Galloways, and one remarkably tine Welsh ox, ex- hibited by Colonel Pennant, and placing in a very favourable point of view the improvement of which that breed is sus- ceptible. The crosses in cattle are not nearly so numerous as they ought to be in such an exhibition, which must be looked at from the butchers' and customers' point of view, and not from the breeders.' In sheep the Licesters come out well compared with previous years. The display of Southdowns and Cotswolds is inferior, but there is a splendid show of cross- s; and here one may readily recognize a genuine element of success, for these annual displays of the club will only develope it as it deserves. The cross between the Cotswold and Southdown is particularly worthy of notice from the size and shapeliness of the stock produced and its excellent marketable qualities. The croos-breeds of sheep, and pigs form the strongest features of the present show. The latter are quite as good as we ever re- member to have seen them in Baker-street, Mr. Coates's pen, which carries away the gold medal, approaching perfection. Here are no monstrosities exhibited in any of the cllasses—a fact upon which the club may be congratulated, since, how- ever much, animals exceeding the just limits of natural pro- portion excite the curiosity of the ignorant, they detract quite as much from the value and interest of the general display in the eyes of the intelligent visitor. The former, nevertheless, will find their appetites for the wonderful amply gratified by a pig weighing 66 stone, and by a West Highland ox, the size and majestic appearance of which are scarcely sufficiently recognized by a simple commendation from the judges.

At the assizes held at York on the 11th inst., Mr. D. Beresford, a clergyman, (reported to have a living in Cork, value XI,000 a year, but which has been requestered for his debts) cousin of Lord Decies, and next heir to the peer- age, was found guilty of forging, the endorsement of Mr John Kay, of Fairfield, to a bill for £100, and sentenced to transportation for life. MIRACULOUS ESCAPE. On Monday afternoon last a young man in charge of a traveller's horse and gig, at Catterline, while turning, at a part of the road which over- hangs at the height of full 40 feet the water of Catterline, had gone too near the bank, and slipped over the precipice. -horse, gig, and man—throwing a somersault in the air, and then falling crash to the bottom of the gulf. The horse was killed but, strange to say the man escaped without a scratch. On being asked what he thought of when going over, he said, I shut my eyes and held fast." As the accident occurred owing to the unprotected state of the road, the owner is taking steps against the trustees, Which will probably cause something to be done to protect the public in future. -.zlber(leen Herald. THE AMERICAN* PRESIDENT'S FORTHCOMING MESSAGE.— The Morning Advertiser of Wednesday has the following: A private communication from Washington enables us to anticipate the substance of this important State document, which wiU probably be received in London 01 Monday or Tuesday next. The Message, in adveiting to the great contest now going on in Europe, will assure the citizens of the Union that government, abiding by the maxim of Wash- ington, have refrained from intermeddling in the affairs of Europe, and avoided" entangling alliances." In reference to the disputes with the United Kingdom, it will announce that the musunderstanding with regard to the affairs of Central America, has unhappily not yet been adjusted, although there is every confidence that the good sense of the people of both countries may enable the governments ultimately to arrive at that much-desired result. With regard to the reinforcement of the West India squadron, it will state that the British government have explained to the America Minister at their Court, that the objects of the reinforcement was the protection of the West India Islands, and of British merchantmen, against privateers, it having been reported that vessels were fitting out in some of the American ports to sail in this capacity, under a neutral flag. The correspondence on the subject is still carried on, but with every prospect of being brought to a satisfactory conclusion. The Message will recommend improvements, in the military organisation of the States, and direct the formation of a staff for purposes of discipline and practice in different parts of the Union. This will be recommended, as much from considerations of internal security, as of external defence. The Message will reprobate all attempts at filibustering, and threaten with punishment those who may be taken while engaged in such unlawful expeditions The Message will state that the dispute with Greece has been adjusted, and that negociations have been commenced on the subject of the Souuddues, which the President will denounce as unjust exactions on the highway of the ocean, and quite in opposition to the commercial spirit and enterprise of the age. The other passages of the Messages will relate more to local matters. It is anticipated that on the opening of Congress, several violent speeches will be made against the proceedings of the British government, and some of the stump orators will advocate a war between the two eouuUk*

EXTRACTS FROM THIS WEEK'S PUNCH. The principal print in Punch represents Lord Palmerston at a desk in a rifle shop, and the Emperor of Austria at the counter, in woeful countenance, asking, Please to tell me the price of a Peace." To which the Premier replies, We havn't the article on hand at present." The Emperor of Uussia is represented as standing outside the shop door, listening earnestly. A QUESTIONABLE I I That sweetly pretty periodical, Le Folld, in announcing I the Fashions for December," states that I Braces also continue in great favour." I Braces also." What besides Braces ? The answer is obvious to the masculine mind, and surely cannot be dubious to the feminine; for the least logical of ladies even must be alive to the inference from Braces. Of course it must be presumed that Braces are fashionable amongst wives exclusively, for the rest of the fair sex cannot be very intelligibly in a position to wear the Braces. From the prevalence of this female fashion of Braces, it would seem, that the Rights of Woman have obtained a rather wide recognition unless indeed we have been speculating on the delusive basis of a typographical error, and, for" Braces," ought to have read Bracelets." I MB. PUNCH'S GENERAL ORDER. Urgent Private Affairs. Head Quarter £ Field-Marshal Punch has observed with equal surprise and concern the extraordinary number of applications from officers of all ranks and arms of the service, to return home on urgent private affairs." F. M. Punch has one and the same answer for all such applications. He cannot grant leave of absence to officers for urgent private affairs while the following most urgent private affairs require the presence of the officers in camp, viz Hutting the privates. Keeping up the discipline of the privates. Keeping down drunkenness among the privates. Promoting rational amusements among the privates. Sharing the hardships of the privates, and Setting a good example to the privates generally. All these appear to F. iNI. Puuch to be the most urgent private" atfairs that can be conceived under existing circumstances. AX EXTRAORDINARY MISTAKE. In the account of the opening of the Prussian Chambers by King Clicquot the reporter writp- The King entered the saloon General's uniform, and carrying his helmet in his hand." This is a palpable blunder. It was [not a helmet, but a wine-cooler. This fact is established by the subsequent incident; for the reporter in due time tells us, that the King put it on his head THE DISSATISFIED INDEPENDENTS. I Poor Mr. Serjeant Shee, despondent at the humiliated I condition of the hungry Irish Brigade, has been writing a letter to one of the Hibernian papers, setting out his con- viction, that in the next session, the only chance for the Band to make itself felt—that is, to get its members into places under Government—is to adopt a determined course of dissatisfied independence not only in regard to important questions, but in every-day matters." By being generally disagreeable, the Irish members, according to the great patriot Shee, may compel Lord Palmerston to fling them sops to keep them quiet. We understand that on the Serjeant's suggestion, the Dissatisfied Independents are having rehearsalsin order to be ready for the opening of Parliament. A correspondent in Dublin informs us that they go through the whole business of an evening's debate, and get up a row upon each of the Every-day matters" as it arises. He sends us a list of some of the manifestations of dissatisfaction." When the Spaker takes the cheer, he is to be bully-ragged for letting an English, Scotch, or Welsh mimber catch his eye before an Irish one. When he shouts out the name of an Irish mimber, he is to be abused for not spaking in a more deferential tone. When any mimber spakes of the English" army in the Crimea, or of British" arrums, he is to be assaulted by six Irish spakers in succession. I No bill is to be allowed to be inthrojuiced that does not in some way refer to Oircland-or if it be permitted to be brought in, Irish clauses are to be added. For instance to an India bill, a provision is to be appended, that the next Governor-General shall be an Irishman, and to any measure of taxation, a proviso that it shall not apply to poor Oire- land. The House and the Spaker are to be made to understand, that when an Irish mimber wants to spake all others give way. All Irish petitions are to have precedence of English ones, and are to be read at full length by the chap in the small wig. If any mimber cries question" while an Irish mimber is spaking, the Brigade pledges itself to move his impache- ment. One Government night in each week is to be given up to the exclusive discussion of Irish questions, and if Mr. Hayter ever permits a no-house" upon such a night, he is to be exterminated. In counting the House, the Spaker is to reckon every Irish mimber as two he being worth any two of his malig- nant oppressors. In the case of a row between Irish mimbers, no English or Scotch ones are to presume to interfere, but the spalpeens are to wait in respectful silence until the gintlemen are plazed to be done. It is for the Irish numbers to settle what time the House shall rise, and no one is take the liberty of going away until the desire of the Brigade has been signified. It is to be made a standing order, that Mr. Henry Drum- mond is not to make any profane fun of a Roman Catholic saint, praste, relic, or miracle, and on the least allusion of that kind, he is to be committed te the custody of the Serjeant at Arrums. With the aid of these, and similar improvements upon the present system, Mr. Serjeant Shee and his friends hope soon to diminish the causes for their Dissatisfaction, by procuring a market for some of the Independence, which, like trades- men anxious to sell, they now puff so lustily. The worst of it all is, that parties are so evenly balanced in the House, that such a set of gentlemen, after such an avowal, may com- | maud tbeir price. » __n_ u_ It is requested that any complaints respecting the delay in the delivery of this Paper, be immediately ad- dressed to the Editor, so that the proper representations may be made to the Postmaster-General.

Kars has fallen. So it is rumoured, and, in the abscnce of any official intelligence, is believed. There is hardly any room to doubt in the capitulation. It was apprehended. The place was invested, and no supplies could reach it. The soldiers' rations were redticed:to a third of the quantity requisite to sustain the men in health. With the utmost care and the closest economy it was known that the stores would be empty by the 18th of November and if succoui- was not then near, the garrison could hold out no longer. Notwithstanding this knowledge and the apparent truth- fulness of the rumour, there is still some hope,—slender as it is, -which rests upon the silence of the Invalide Russe. And it is a singular fact that no intelligence of the surrender has been given to the world from lttissia-c-ver ready to parade its victories, to startle with its successes, to make the most of its achievements. Hope clutches at the shadow of the reality it would have, and dallies with the creation of its own imaginings. A jubilant song would break forth from the heart of Western Europe if the flag of Turkey still fluttered on the walls of Kars-if the brave troops who have twice repelled the assault, still hold their position. But we must boldly look the worst in the face. The con- quest, if such, is not a great one. Hunger—gaunt, reletn- less hunger-was the foe that conquered, not the bayonets of Russia. For six months they had failed to take the city. Strength against strength they were no match. Mouravieff succumbed to Williams; but famine and typhus thin serried ranks with fearful certainty, and they were the allies of Russia. We are without any fresh news from the Crimea. All we know is, that the enemy have no apparent intention of leaving their well-chosen positions, and that the allies are preparing for the severities of winter. It is not likely that any engagement will occur this year, and the mind inad- vertently anticipates the spring. We have details of the contemplated campaign laid down with precision, and the blow to be given will tell with fearful effect. Preparations are being made on a most gigantic scale, and we look for results commensurate with the means used. We shall not have it all our own way. Russia is active as ever. Every sinew is strained to the utmost and under the control of men commanding genius great work will be done. St. Petersburg and Moscow are to be strengthened with ad- ditional fortifications, adapted to resist the appliances of modern warfare. Nicholaieff is already completely changed in its aspect by fortifications which have been created well nigh in a day. This has been done under the direction of the distinguished engineer of Sebastopol, and is an earnest of what can be accomplished. The human mind can perform prodigies, and in Russia it is not suppressed. Where in- tellect is recognised it is encouraged and grows to maturity under the smile of the Imperial throne. In this Britain should be instructed. Rank is but the guinea stamp, A man is a man for a' that." "There will be no Turkey for the Emperor of Russia this Christmas," says Punch, with a facetious leer, but "Alexander would not be without his feast." It is no fault of his Imperial Majesty, neither is any blame to be thrown upon Austria and Prussia, who would, if they dared, help their master to Turkey, and so they talk of negotiation crying peace, peace, when there is no peace." In St. Petersburg it is war to the knife, war coute que couté. It is in Vienna and Berlin, in Paris and London that diplomatists babble of peace. Those whose mental vision is most piercing —whose unprejudiced minds get nearest to truth, gravely assure us that there is hardly a beam of hope in the horizon that Russia will accept the terms which alone can bring peace. Negotiation is delay, and that is the desideratum. It has been her policy throughout. We should not halt. While plenipotentiaries deliberate and display the courtesies of statescraft the sword should not sleep in its scabbard, but gleam in terrible activity. Nothing but force-overpowering, resistless force -can do what is alone necessary for the security of Europe. The pride of the Czar must be humbled. The talons of the eagle must be clipped. The blood of Poland, of Finland, of Turkey, of Hungary must be avenged. The hour of retribution coines, and events hasten the time. The question of war or peace is complicated, and that our readers may be in possession of all the facts we have given a large space to them with the opinions which have weight. We have frequently been amused with the manner in. which our Generals have been directed in the campaign by newspaper editors-clever fellows, no doubt, in their way. Comfortably ensconced in their sanctum, they would have the world think they know "what's what in the command of armies," and with inimitable sang froid they point out military defects and direct our Generals what should be done with a smack of insolence." Take a mild specimen." In a. contemporary of Tuesday we read-" Wo have earnestly directed attention to Kaffa and Arabat, to Perekop, and to Sivash, as points to which attention should be specially directed, and where great effects might be pro- duced. But in vain No one has listeuocl. to Sir Oracle, who opened his mouth and taught them, saying." Long ago it was the burden of complaint, we have prophesied all day long and no one has heard us.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. CARMARTHENSHIRE. CARMARTHENSHIRE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.-The en- tries made for competition at the annual exhibition of Fat Stock and Poultry connected with this society, which will be held on Weduesday next, in the provision market, are as followizi, :-Fit stock, 13; live poultry of different breeds, 68 pens; fat turkeys, dead and trussed, 10; pairs of fat geese,. ducks, and fowls, trussed, 17 green crops for the several districts turnips, 13; mangel wurtzel, carrots, &c., 11; underdraining, 3. The show of live poultry is expected to be unusually attractive, as the entries made are con- siderably larger than on any former occasion, and will bring together some beautiful specimens of the different breeds. J. It. Rodband, Esq., Aldwick Court, Bristol, has kindly consented to act as judge, and will, no doubt, give satis- faction, being one of the largest and most successful poultry amateur traders in the kingdom, having taken as many as 60 prizes at 11 different shows. The fat poultry, which is expected to be good, will afford an opportunity of procuring Christmas presents, as all are to be sold by auction. THE WEATHER.—On Friday last there was a heavy fall of snow in this locality, which still remains on the ground. Daring the week we have experienced the severities of winter, at a period much earlier than usual of late years. The weather has been tine with a clear bracing atmos- phere at intervals, and every appearance of the con- tinuance of frost with indications of another fall of snow. CARMARTHEN PETTY SESSIONS.—These sessions were held on Saturday last in the Town Hall, before Capt. D. Oavies, Dr. Lawrence, and Grismond Philipps, Esq. The adjourned case of D. J. B. Edwardes against Lewis Davies for tresspassing ill pursuit of game, was withdrawn. Wil- NVilliatn llc-es, Rotten Pill, was charged with trespass at a railway station. Defendant did not appear, and the charge was preferred by Mr. Sup. Langdou, on behalf of the South Wales Railway Company. P.C. William Meyler proved the service of the summons. Joseph Higgs, railway porter stated that on the night of the 5th inst. lie was at. tracted by a noise on the opposite side of the booking office, ,Illich he discovered arose from the defendant, who was in the booking room. It was past 12 o'clock and he had no business there. On being asked what he wanted there, he replied What's the odds to you." He was requested to to leave the premises, as he was not permitted to be there. lie persisted in his refusal to leave. lIe was then taken to the booking office to give an account of himself. lie took off his hat and impertinently refused to leave, say- ing, I am as good a man as you or any one else." He was intoxicated. This was the whole of the evidence ad- duced, and defendant was convicted in the penalty of X2 and costs. Rachel Morris, l'anteg, Llanarthney, charged Thomas Evans, of the same parish, with the disobeying au gift of sounum. Tbetkbt aod orts were paid.
