But Omar Pacha is expected ; and his arrival will probably change the state of affairs . Sir James Simpson has at length resigned , and is about to . return to England . General Codrington has-been spoken of as his successor ; - but nothing is yet known with , certainty . Let us hope that * whoever may be the man , he will possess-the energy and confidence of middle age . THE FALL OF KINBUKNAdmiral Bruat writes as follows . i—r" Kinburn , Oct . 17 . " On the n «> rning of the 14 th of October , the Allied squadrons quitted ; the roads of Odessa , as soon . . the strong westerly winds , which , had impeded their opera--tions , ever since the 8 th , had ceased ^ On the same evening , they anchored . off . Kinburn . "In the night , four French gunboats , despatched by Rear-Admiral ,. Pellion under the orders of Lieutenant Allemand , of the Cacique , with five Engjish gunboats , passed the Strait of Oczakoff ,. and entered the Dnieper , " On the 15 th , at daybreak , the troops were landed at about 4500 metres tci the south of the place . In the , afternoon , the mortarboats commenced their fire , but were , compelled to suspend it when night closed in , pnaccount of the , swell , which rendered their range uncertain . " The day of the 16 th , was . nearly lost to us , the wind having again changed to the south-west . The troops , were engaged in intrenching themselves , and making a reconnoissance to the south . . The gunboats in the Dnieper only were able to annoy the place by their fire . . "The wind having gone round to the north during the night , Admiral Lyons and myself have been engaged since this morning ( the 17 th ) in carrying into execution the plan of attack we had arranged on the previous evening , according , to the soundings taken by Captain Spratt , of the Spitfire , and Lieutenant Cloue 1 , of , the Brandon ,, assisted by MM . Ploix , and Manen , hydrographic , engineers . At 20 minutes past 9 o ' clock the floating , batteries La Devastation , La Lave , and La-Tonnaute opened their fire . The success they obtained during , the day fulfils every hope of the Emperor . The rampart against which they directed their fire soon presented , practicable breaches on several points . The French and English mortarboats opened their fire at a quarter to tea o ' clock ; their aim , rectified by signals from the advice-boats , was admirably directed . I attribute to them a great part iii the speedy surrender of tho fort . Five French gupboats , supported by six English gunboats , took up their position almost at the . same time as the xnortar vessels . Their ricocheting fire told with effect on the guns that were opposed to our floating batteries . " As soon as the fire from the fort slackened , our gun-r boats , on a signal from tho captain of La Grenade , M . Jaureguiberry , were moved up to tho line of floating batteries . They were accompanied in this movement by tho English gunboats . Precisely at noon , tho steamers , followed by the frigates , corvettes , and advice-boats , were got under way . The steamers formed in line , anchored in twenty-six feet water , with their broadsides to tho forts , and . at a distance of 1600 metres from them . At tho same moment , six English frigates , led by Rear-Adrairal Stewart , and throe French frigates , L'Asraode ' e , Le Cacique , and Le Sane ' , under the orders of Rear-Admiral Pellion , entered the Strait of Oczakoff to take tho forts of Kiuburn in rcvorso . The English ship Hannibal advanced to the middle of tho strait . General Bazaino and General Spencer sent forward their skirmishers and flell-piecos to about four hundred metres from tho place . " These bold manoeuvres , and tho imposing front pro- , scntod by the nine French and English vessels , in close line , broadside on , thundering from all their guns , had a decisive . effect . At thirty-five minutes after one , observing that tUo fort of Kiuburn had ceased to fire , although the batteries on the north continued to serve their mortars , Admiral Lyons and myself thought it right to respect the courago of tho brave men we wore fighting ; we thoreforo made tho signal to cease firing , and hoisted a flag of truce , at the same time sending on shore a French and English boat .

    ¦ " The forts , accepted i thet capitulation offered . The garrison surrendered themselves pr isoners , and wer & allowed to march . out ofcthe , place withi the honours of war . The Russian we » h » are < naw .-. occupied by our troops . By the terms of vibe capitulation , itiiwas agreed thatthe . place should . be-given up-taus in . the state in which it was at . the moment of . surrender .. We have therefore taken possession of all- , the stores and ammunition of the enemy- Admiral . Lyons and myself sent surg-eons from , both squadrons ,, to attend to the wounded . of the garrison , about eighty in numbeiv . " There are from 12 Q 0 to 1500 prisoners * , We intend to organise here a permanent establishmenti"

    WAR MISGE £ . LANEAv THB / BAa » irBAzouKS . r—Geneml Beatson-has gone to Constantinople , and the . Bashi-BazQuks are now commanded by Major-General Smith * who has . introduced a sterner system . of ¦ discipline , ; and checked the . ruffianly exoesses of those wild soldiers . The , Times Correspondent at Renkioi . says that a . perfect feeling of security now prevails , and . ladies can . ride about , the country without alarm . The same . miter . relateSvthe . -. following anecdotes of the Bashis during the time . , of General Beatson <—^ "Oneevening ,. abau & one hundred and thirty deserters rode from the Bashi-Bazouk camp * towards RenMoi . They first plundered a small farm and a . mill , and thence rode through the hospital ,: laden with sheep , fowls , & o ., crying- out ' English ! na . bonoj . ' They-iode up to the , village with i the . intention of iburning-Mr . Calvert ' s country-house , generally- occupied by . some ladies ; but , nightfall having come . ; on before ' their arrival ,, being ignorant of . the , place , and . ; fearing an ambuscade , they bivouacked int the neighbourhood . ' A small ; number went into the . street and made inquiries for the house * but . were J udiciously shown , a , large stable builti for . the Laud Transport Corps . Here they obtained , refreshment . The next morning , they . rode on to the plain of Trog , plundered Mr . Calvert ' s farm , and ill-used the servants . Two of the marauders , who returned after the band had ridden off , got well beaten and punished by the farm servants , and one of them subsequently became a patient in-the hospital Some time afterwards thirty or . forty rode into the hospital encamp ^ ment , where , owing to proper precautions ,. they found , themselves received by . above ¦ one hundred armed , men , for . the workmen had during this period their weapons always close at hand , and spies were set on . the surrounding bills . Dr . Parkes judiciously avoided a conflict and . accepted an explanation of their intention- ;—namely , 1 that they were en route to look for deserters . ' All re ^ mained quiet after their departure till the present month , when a fewvsmall parties were found prowling about at night , obviously for plunder . My door , which happened , to have no lock , was one night pushed open by a Bashi ,. 1 in his cups , ' with , gun in hand and a stomachful of pistols ; he held a pretty bay horse by the bridle . I could not persuade him that he had lost his way ; he demanded ' monish '—as he termed the British coin-n-in a , very impressive manner . To this I demurred , being as ; well armed . aa himself ; and a friend stepping , from-his quarters at , the . same moment , a sufficiently imposing front was . presented to induce our visitor to . withdraw . Sentries are now placed beyond the lines of buildings , and these little nocturnal interruptions , of which , there were several , have quite ceased . " Jerusalem Rejoicing- ax tiibFali . of Sebastopoi * ,. The Univers describes the rejoicings manifested at Jerur salem and in the Holy Land on the arrival , of the intelligence of the fall of Sebastopol . The Greek and Armenian population alone displayed an ill-feeling on that occasion . Their patriarchs , however , offered up thanks for that act of grace in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre , more in obedience to the request of the Governor of Palestine , Kiamil . Pacha , who assisted at the ceremony , than from sincerity of feeling . Tho rejoicings at Jerusalem continued for three days . Neutral Vessels . —Not long ago the Oesterreichisoh & Corretpondenz mentioned that tho commanders of the Allied squadrons in the neighbourhood of the Sea of Azof were prepared to permit neutral ships to fetch grain from there , on compliance with certain conditions essential to the blockade . It is , however , generally overlooked that as the Russian prohibition of export still holds good , application must bo made to that Government to procure exemption from the same . It is , worth notice also , that the said exemption has hitherto been accorded only in one instance , viz ., to tho house of Gopcovitch in Trieste , and that too for a specific quantity of grain . — Times Berlin Correspondent , Miss Nightingale has left Scutari for Sobaotopol , whore preparations have beon made for her . reception ., Gknkrax . Dr Montkvecohio , who was wounded- at tho battle of the Tchernaya , but whom recent accounts ' spoke , of aa in a fair way to recovery , has . expired after lingering for nearly two months . Si'ANihii Honouuh . —The Spanish Government has conferred the Grand Cross of tho Military order of San Fernando on Marshal Polisaier and General Simpson . Tho Grand Cross of Charles III . will bo conferred on Generals Canrobcrt , Bosquet , and Delia Marmora , This scorns significant of Spanish . " adhesion .

    ship St ; Jean . d'Acre , and now belonging to-her Majesty ' sship Rodney , for conspicuous gallantry ,- in < endeavouring to set fire to the Russian ships in the h & rb « Hr of Sebastopol , by means of an exploding apparatus , ' on the nighta of the 16 th of July and 16 th of August , 1865 . —Another case of daring gallantry in the humble * orders of our fighting men has come to light , but las not yet been rewarded . A guardsman , named Goodntm , who was on duty in the trenches on the morning of the -8 th . ] of- Sep- * . tember , determined to join the attack on the Redan . Concealing himself , therefore , when the order to return to quarters was given to his battalion , he filled bis pockets , his cap , and the breasts of his coatywith such ammunition , as he could collect , joined the attackingregiments , and was the first to enter the-Redan . Thrice did he rush into the fortifications during the strugg le ^ and the last tune procured a spade , and dug himself a pit ,, from which he fired , and occasionally charged with the bayonet . ¦ He was- twice wounded , but eventually escaped with his- life . We trust he will be duly honoured bypromotion . The Amoor . —The Amphi trite , which was despatched to look aftoi the Russian settlements of Ayan and Sitka , returned to . San Francisco on the 21-st of August , and brought news that the fortifications supposed to have been built at the mouth of the river-Araoor , and whichhave . i been . described as- " the- new- Sebastopol , " do not ' exist . Thecrew-of the Amphitrite only found at the mouth of the river-the neat little town , Ayan , which hacfc been deserted by the Russians , who left their houses andfurniture-in , good condition . The only act of hostility committed by the Amphitrite was the destruction of a-RnasiaH : Government iroa-steamer , which was found ty ing ; off the- small' island 1 on which Ayan is seatedii . What the . Russians have done- with their ships ofwarto * a mystery , as , from- soundings taken by the Amphitritej ifc > was found impossible 1 for any large--vessel to enter the riv * r < Odessa .- — Le Nord declares that " the destruction of Odessa would make Southern Russia-weak and sicklyfor the . next thirty years . " AjMakLdst . — -While the Nile was stationed in Biorko Sound , one of her officers , an assistant-clerk , disappeared in a rnys (« rious manner . He went on shore in ; company-with one of his messmates , from whom , while walking through the woods , he by aeoident ; separated , ' lost the footpath leading back to the Bliore ,- and has not since been heard of , notwithstanding scouts were sent out in all ; directions for two- or three successive days in search of him * The residents in the yiUttgea , in- reply to the anxious inquiries of his shipmates , stated they had seen- him rambling on > the island in various parts of it , but could not , or perhaps would -not , give information ; which could lead to his discovery . It may therefore be presumed that , in endeavouring to retrace his steps to the shore , he fell into the hands of the enemy , and was made a prisoner of war . — Times Baltic Correspondent . The North The first hard frost of the present winter set in during the night of the 13 th instant . On the mainland , and in the immediate vicinity of Revel , snow fell , remaining on the ground to the depth of six inches . —Idem . Colonel Read , of the English anny , has arrived at Turin with the appointment of President of tho Committee for organising the Anglo-Italian Legion . Evading the Blockade . —At the present moment there are lying in the port of Stockholm about thirty decked and open Russian oraft of different sizes , which . have broken the blockade and crossed over . from the . coast of Esthonia , bringing cargoes of corn , potatoes , hops , hemp , and tallow , to barter for that precious article ; of consumption in Russia—salt .
