Tint Criniza.---The latest intelligence from 'Sebastopol comes in the. shape of telegraphic despatches; one from ' General Canrobert to the French Minister of War ; another, which has found its way into a Ger- i:eat paper, purports to be from Prince Menschikoff. " Head-Quarters, before Sebastopol, Oitober 13, 1851.

"We opened the trenches during the night between the 9th and 10th. The enemy, who did not seem to expect us at that point, did not disturb the work, which we actively pursued. I hope We 'shall have -bythe-day after tomorrow (the 15th) seventy guns in battery. Since ten this morning,' a hot fire has been directed upon us at intervals, but without any sliced*. Our loss is almost nominal. The works of the English army proceed-on a parallel With our own.

"The weather, for a short time 'very had 'and very cold, has-fortunately turned out fine again."

The following was published at Vienna on Wednesday, as Official Rus- sian news, received via 'Warsaw, of the 23d.

"'Sebastopol, Otteber 16.—The garrison makes frequentaforties at night. Not a single Shell has yet fallen into the town itself. . " .Trarsaw, Oetober 24.—During the whole of the 17th, Sebastepol was bombarded by sea and land. The Russians also kept up a hot fire. The Russian fortifications hare suffered but little. Five hundred Russians .were killed or wonnded. and Admiral Kornileff [one of the commanders at Sinope] was among the killed. On the 18th, the bombardment was only continued by -the land b tteri " [Another noel of this despatch states that the *fella on the sea-aide had suffered:" very little."],

The letters of the "special" correspondents of the Times and the - Morning Chronicle bring the news down to the 13th instant. The Bret trenches were opened on the 9th and 10th. The French fell to work -at siineet on the 9th, on the extreme left of the British line; and by aline o'elock next 'arming they had finished a ditch, parapet, and hanquette;, -1200 metres long, at -ii distarite of 900 metres from the enemy's line., aFortY-six guns were placed:behind the "werk, ready to mount as abon'ttii-.. the sroluasuses were .constrneted and. the platforms ready,,,,On the same day, our men threw up, a, work for four Lancaster _and l0-ueb ,guns. The British ", leftattack," was begun on the 10th, under,Ceptaiii Chap- man, Royal Engineers; and riArench of 1200 yards- waaniade during the night. On the 11th, the "right attack" was commenced, under Captain Gordon, Royal Engineers. The Light-Division furnished a working party of 400 men' and- by the morning 363 yard e of trench were com- pleted and ready for batteries. It was intended that , a similar party should be employed On the left and centre; but the Sappers and Miners missed their way, and approached the enemy's lines. It was fortu- nate; for they stumbled on the van of a sortie. The Russians fired upon them, and by the light of the flashes the British saw some strong battalions of infantry moving silently forward. The alarm was instantly given ; the Second and Light Divisions turned out; the Russians opened a cannonade, and kept it up for half an hour. The -British brought up horse-artillery. The French turned out; and the whole 'line was alive with men.' At length the Eighty- eighth went down the hill upon the Russians, 'cheering as they charged, and drove the enemy in. The French were -similarly assailed on the 10th, by Cossacks and infantry, They laid an ambush, but were caught in their own trap, and sent flying.. Every day, and almost overY nights the Russian batteries kept up a constant fire. This had produced a few casualties : four or five men were killed; Colonel Waddy, -Captain Gray, Lieutenant Mangles, of the Fiftieth Regiment, and Lieutenant Rotheram; of the Twentieth, were wounded. The cholera had degreased on the 10th from 20 to 10 eases per day.

Thereat of the army has been secured, by scarping the main road and planting a heavy gun to sweep the Scarps: The Turks have also east up five ream-Minn the ridges commanding the Balaclava road; each redoubt to be armed with two, heavy pieces, and manned by 250 Turks. It ap- pearsahat the 9000 Mirka, coniposing 'the brigade,' are not veterans but raw levies : they were sent out without a commissariat; they begged biscuits of the Allies, and 'picked up a living no one knew how. But they are nowied By the British; and bravely as they toiled beforesthey toil with ton times more energy now. Behind the redoubts the, French have thrown tip earth-works, - completely closing the gorge of the pass leading to Balaclava.

The writers of these letters suppose that the:people of England sviTibe impatient of- the " delay " in opening the 'siege : but they remind us that the harbours for landing siege-guns are narrow ; that tq 'Conceive the -amount:of labour necessary to carry the guns into position, 'it must be seen &Ora day to day. But they, men on the spot,,probqbly soldiers both, were quite content with the Work done, 'and very cheerful at the pros- Ted before them.

Lord Ilagianliad been compelled to drive all the Greeks out of Bala- -clava ; having received information of a conspiracy to burn the tonal. The Allies were posted as follows on the I3th-

"The British occupy the centre and right: To the extreme right is en- camped the Second Division (General Sir De Lacy Evans), 'leaning towards the mouth of the Teliernaya ; toile left isthe First DiVETIOn (Duke of-Carii- bridge) ; hiving again on its left -flank -the Light Division it-' Gorge Brown), . The Light Division leans on the high-road which tonne* the harbour of Sebastopol with Balaclava. The Forirth Division (SieG.• Cath- cart) lies to the left of the I,ight Division-' and with the Third Divisien (Sir Riehard England) the British lines terminate. The French main strength extends from here to the coast. A French division is nested to the rear of the 'British, to cover the army from arty attack in that direction. Vis-a-vis to this division, occupying the heights which command the road from Belbek, lies the Turkish contingent. 'The British Cavalry' is stationed between the above French division and Balaclava. The Scots Greys, with Captain Maude's troop Of Horse Artillery, occupy a position 'ontside of Bala-

clava." -

There was some skirmishing at the outposts on the 7th, when four Eng- lishmen were killed. In the course of the dat, also,' a body of Rusairin trooper, consisting Of r4000 'Cavalry and 3000 infantry, trith-Cossacks in advariee, came 'from' the Eastward to about three miles from Balaolai,a. Cavalry and Horse Artillery were immediately sent:against them, and the Guards and Highlanders got under arms. They were fired into by

the Artillery, awl immediately retreated. • • -

It is estimated that the English have lost about 150 horses belonging to the heavy brigade. They were shipped on board transports at Varna, and encountered terrible gales. on their passage: the'ships laboured ex- cessively, the fittings and horse-boxes gave way, the horses got loose and perished.

An expedition was sent down to Yalta, a small town on the South -coast----the Brighton of those parts,- The object of the -erase was to look for provisions.- The men landed from the French and English ships, paid visite to the palaces' of some of the Russian. nobles, Woronzeff, Demideff, and others; and were "completely' thunderstruck by their magnificence," They left things as they found them, and obtained few provisions.; but, it is said, the French plundered some of the houses.

Russian gunnery was singularly illustrated on the 11th. An Austrian barque, laden with hay for British use, when close off Sebastopol, 'was be- calmed and drifted within range, and wenteshore Within 2000 yards of the forts ; the crew escaping from heir. Every gun wart brought to bear 'upon the barque for an hour and a half; but. she was only hit in font. plgoes. To the astonishment of the Russians, the Beagle ran in, covered by the Firebrand, took the barque in tow, and carried her safely out. Two Russian frigates made a show of coining out, but declined to fight the Firebrand, although she only carried six guns. The guns of the, Beagle had been landed for the siege. The Firebrand was only hit four times, and the Beagle not at all; though it 4 estimated that the Russians fired 400 or 500 shots.

Before the British army quitted the heights of Alma, Lord Raglan left Dr. Thomson of the Forty-fourth Regiment to look after the Russian wounded. The Doctor was instructed to appeal to the good feelings of the Tartar population ; and if the Cosaacks Game down, to hoist a flag of truce, and explain his position. This perilous task he nobly performed, Many of the wounded disd ; and Dr. Thomson and his servant buried sixty in one day. But, after narrowly escaping the Cossacks, he re- turned to the camp before Sebastopol, and, sad to relate, died of cholera, a few days after biaarrival.

The list Of .officers who have died in the Crimea is increased by Major Banner, of the Ninety-third ; Lieutenant Walmsley, Seventy-sevenths Captain Hylton Yoliffe, Coldstream Guards; and Staff-Surgeon Mackey,

vivors; but the most striking and interesting ithe. narrative, of Peter M'Cabe, who waa picked up from a,raft, by a boat under Mr. Dorian, the third mate. M'Cabe describes how the raft was constructed of doors, barrels, yards, and spars, and how he helped. " Tremained on the vessel till she sank ; when I went down with her. I had been employed a few minutes before with two others, one of whom was

called • Tom the storekeeper,' in lashing some casks together, when I was driven away by the water, which was now rushing in with fearful impe- tuosity. Jumping upon the paddle-box, I sprang on the saloon-deck, and- in

an instant was engulphed in the surging waters, which soon closed over our heads. Down, down we sank with our noble vessel, into the bosom of the ocean; and the terrible thought took possession of my mind that I was drowning

—that I should never see my dear friends and my home again. I retained my consciousness, however, all the time I was under the water; and it was with a feeling of intense joy that I found, after about half a minute, that I was rapidly rising towards the surface. It was all darkness before, but now I could see a dim light above me, and in a few seconds I was on the top of the wat r struggling for life. Being a good swimmer, and having, besides, the support of a life-preserver, I succeeded in reaching a door, which was float- ing a few feet from where I rose. I looked around me, but there was no tsars of the vessel except a few loose timbers and the rafts which were float- ine about, some with and others without passengers. Finding I -could not -retain my' hold of the door with safety, I left it, and swain to a barrel which lay a few feet from me from this again I swam to the large raft, which had, as I have said, about seventy persons clinging to it. The sea, though not strong, was rough, and the waves as they dashed over it washed away a portion of its living freight. I shall never forget the awful scene. There we were, in the midst of the ocean, without the slightest hope of assistance, -while every minute one or more of our unfortunate fellow passengers were dropping into their watery grave from sheer exhaustion. 'Those who had life-preservers did not sink, but floated with their ghastly faces upwards, re- minding those who still remained alive of the fate that awaited them. In the midst of all this, thank Heaven, I never lost hope, but retained my courage to the last. One by one I saw my unfortunate companions drop off; some of them floated off, to be eaten, and gnawed by fishes, while others were washed under the raft, and remained with me till I was rescued. I could see their faces in the openings as they were swayed to and fro by the waves, which threatened every moment to wash use off. The raft at one time was so crowded that many had to hold on by one hand. Very few words were spoken by any ; and the only sound that we heard was the splash of the waters or the heavy breathing of the poor sufferers, as they tried to recover their breath after a wave had passed over them. Nearly all were submerged to their arm-pits, while a few could with great difficulty keep their heads above the surface. The women were the first to go ;.they were unable to stand the exposure more than three or four hours. They all fell off the raft without a word, except one poor girl, who cried out in intense agony, Oh, my poor mother aud sisters When I had been about eighteen hours on the raft there were not more than three or four left. One of these gave Inc what appeared to be a small map, but which I understood him to say was a sort of title-deed to his property : in a few mo- ments after I took it, he to unloosed his hold and was added- to the nuns, ber who floated about the raft. I endeavoured to get the paper into my Pocket, but found this impossible on account of my cramped position; so I placed it between my teeth and held it there till I was overwhelmed by a wave, when I lost my hold of it and it was -washed away. Another who had an oiled silk coat on, called on me, for.Heaven's ashy, to assist him, as his strength was rapidly failing, and he must fall 'off if not relieved. As he was about four or five feet front -me; it was difficult to reach him, but after considerable exertions I succeeded in doing so, and helped him with one of my.knees until I beoame quite faint, when I was obliged to leave him to his fate. Poor fellow, he promised me if ever he got to New York alivele would reward me well. He clung, with terrible. tenacity to life; but helm dropped off in his turn. I W88 now left alone on, the raft; not a solitary being was alive out of seventy; but still my hope continued strong. The night of the second day was about closing on-me, and during the whole time I had been in the water I had not eaten a particle of anything or drank a drop. My strength I found was beginning to give way, and my sight had become so dim that I could not perceive objects a few feet off—even the ghastly faces of the dead that looked up at me from under the raft were hardly discernible. I determined on making one more effort for life: I raised myself on my knees upon the raft, and through the dusk of the even- ing I saw, or thought I saw, a vessel. My strength seemed to revive, and in a few minutesi heard the voices of persons in a boat approaching. me, Ten minutes more and I too should have gone; but Providence had mercy on ine, and after twenty-six hours' exposure I was by itamerey preserved Iron) a watery grave. The boat, I afterwards learned, belonged to the Huron, and was manned by Mr. Dorian, the third mate of the Aretie„Captain Gratin, one of the passengers, and some sailors. One of the men caught hold of me by the collar, and dragged me into the bow of the boat; where I lay in the last stage of exhaustion till I was transferred on board the Huron ; from which vessel I was placed on the Lebanon, and finally on the pilot-boat Christian Berg, on board of which I arrived at this port.' Instances of heroic conduct are not wanting. A young man. named Stuart Holland undertook the duty of firing signal-guns: he could not be induced to leave his post; he fired his last shot as the Arctic sank, and went down with her. A man named Brennan, in charge of a boy, had an offer of escape; he would not quit the ship without the boy: happily, both were saved. Captain Luce is said to have behaved nobly; but there are complaints-that more lives would have been saved had the officers re- mained on board. America has produced another novelty—nothing less than a "National Baby Show." The scene of this exhibition was Springfield in Ohio; and . besides the Ohio counties, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania' Louisiana, and Indiana, sent baby representatives. No fewer than 127 babies contended for three prizes—services of silver plate. The greatest excitement pre- vailed, and the judges of the competitors, nine women and six men, were so crowded that they had to change their quarters. The show is to be held next year on a still grander scale.

AUSTRALIA.—The new Lieutenant-Governor of Victoria, Sir Charles Hotham, has gained the good-will of all parties in the colony. The Gee- long papers give sonic idea of the extent of his popularity by printing the replies he had given to addresses from numerous public bodies during a yisit to Geelong in August last. To the Mayor and Corporation he said, that the wants of the place should have the grave consideration they merited; but, he added, "you would think me a very bad man of business if "I

pledged myself to grant everything you ask. The natural advantages of Geelong," he more than once repeated, "dearly point it out as the future Liverpool of Victoria." In reply to the address of the clergymen of the Established Church, he expressed his deepest interest in its vrelthre, and promised that allits institutions, particularly its schools, should have the support of himself. and Lady Hotham ; but at the same time, he heard with pleasure that 'the aeley4teltsinied -no special' privileges; but4ere

context to be 1.4,a5spfrifito.like,c4iipt.,Qh4Siftla*Dmiaipoti9ps.7 the same way he paid compliments to the Magistracy, while he begged them to put the most favourable construction, on the measures of Government, and to explain them to the people. To the Chamber of Commerce he expressed himself in favour of railway extension.. Bodies of Masons and Foresters met with fitting responses. The Geelong Volunteer Fire Bri- gade were told how much he admired their particular expression of self- reliance ; and what great things self-reliance accomplished for a people, The Geelong Rifle Corps received this reply-- "Nothing could he more complimentary to the nation than to find Wks of its people preparing themselves, at their own expense and at considerable inconvenience, to defend its institutions. Such bodies as that You represent are highly creditable; and I must also congratulate you upon your appear- ance in the procession; of yesterday. Should the time ever come when the colonists of this country find it necessary to repel an invader, the Corpmander of the Forces and myself should look with confidence th the assistance of your body and others like it. I should like to see them extended upon a wider and larger scale throughout the colony. When I next come to visit Geelong, I hope I shall have the pleasure of reviewing you." '

The fifth session of the Legislative Council of South Australia was opened at Adelaide on the 2d pf August, by Sir Henry Young. In the course of his speech, Sir Henry stated that he had applied to England for arms and a man-of-war„ with a...view to meeting any attempt of Russia,—

though. the contingency is very improbable. directed that &bill for organizing volunteer rifle and artillery corps, and a general militia, should be laid before them. Turning to the internal condition' of the Colony, he described the finances as prosperous— "The remittances in 1853 for immigration were 140,1631., and in 1851 they will soon reach to 265,000/. ;' while the-remittances for 18&-i will pro- bably not be less than 162,000/. During the current year, 4344 Government immigrants have arrived. The,popalation of the colony is now 81,752; the increase during the last eighteen months has amounted to rather more than 13,000. The Crown moietyof the-land-fund, after providing for the survey and other local charges appropriate to that fund, contributes in 1854 in aid of the-general revenue-144,4/001.s and 185,5 the aid may be reckoned to be 60,0001, exclusive of the previo.usly mentioned, quota appertaining, to the emigration-fund. The general , colonial revenue • in 1851 will amount to about 190,8361., and is reckoned at 228,6511. for 1855. The estimates of re- venue and expenditure will be duly submitted; and I have directed a bill to be laid before you to constitute a trust for Port Adelaide to raise a loan ef 100,0001. f6r certain purposes Of improvement in deepening the harbour, and in removing its outer and inner bars, as set forth in an address which reached me at the close of last session. It is' proposed that; in the first instance, the loan should be provided. for out of the general. revenue, and afterwards be repaid by such-means as. may appear most appropriate and effectual. A bill will also be laid before you to raise 250,0001. for the construotionof a railway between Adelaide and Gamier Town." Sir Henry, Young also mentioned two other bills,—one to make the de- posit of, original deeds equivalent to_ registratan, and another to amend the Supreme Court Act. The fact that the Legislature did not meet un- der the new constitutionche attributed to delay arising out of important European events.
