Harrison, ar- rived here this foreaoon at mine o'clock, and sailed at half-past ten for Boston, where she wilt be due on Thurs- day afternoon, ‘The dates from Liverpool are to the 13th inst., one week later than those received per the Atlantic, at New York, The steamship Hermann left Southampton for New York on the 10th instent, with a full complement of pas- sengers. ‘The news by this arrival, fa a commercial senso, is highly important; bat otherwise, there is but little of in- terest, Affairs at Sebastopol had undergone no change, and except au occasional interchange of shots everything was quiet, The allies were threatening Perekop, aud were also manifesting some activity on the Danube. News of the borabardment of Otessa by the allied fleet was daily looked for. A slight engagement bad taken place near Kertsch, and resulted in favoo-of the allies. A letter from Vienna states that several bankers there give credence to the rumor that Russia is contracting a loan in North America, and that the neggintions are lUkely to be concluded. Marseilles advices of the 10th state that the Minister of War was still using every exertion to reinforce the army in the Crimea, From Asia the news is unimportant. The Turks still held out at Kars, although closely invested and much distressed for provisions. ‘The cotton market had exhibited great depression, amounting almost to a panic, and prices were fully one farthing lower, while in some cases forced sales had been made to even a still greater reduction from the quotations advised per the Atlantic. The weok’s busi- ness was restricted to about $1,000 bales, of which speca- lators took but a very small proportion. For breadstufls a fair demand existed at the extreme Prices of the week preceding, and in some descriptions a slight advance had taken place. Indian corr was in moderate request at former rates. Provisions were steady ut about former rates, The London money market continued very tight, but the Bank of England had not farther advanced the rates of discount. Consols had rhown considerable variation, but finally closed at 8744 for money. THE WAR, AFFAIRS IN THE CRIMEA. But Jittle has occurred at the seat of war beyond the fact that the allies were threatening Perekop, and that their advance bad for a time been checked. French troops were being concentrated on the Danube, and Odessa was expected to be immediately bombarded by the allied fleet, which was before its walls. Gen. Simpson, in his last dexpatch, dated Sebastopol, Sept. 29, says that 9,600 men were employed daily in making ® road from Balaklava to the camp. Fatigue parties in the town were engaged in getting timber and other materials from the ruins, in order to get shelter for the troops ere bad weather set t ‘The Russian fire trom the batteries on the north ride caused General Simpson some little annoyance, but has not prevented work Being carried on, By the explosion of w kind of infernal machine, numbers of which had been dug up in various parts of the town and around the batteries, an officer aud nine- teen men were wounded. General Simpson reports a trifing engagement, in which the 10th Hussars and the Chasseurs beat back the Cossacks near Kertseh. A letter from Sebastopol, in the Frankfort (az-tte, states fhat the sunken Russian ships can be raised without difficulty, as the Russians closed them in every part but one, and attached hose to the hulls 40 that the water ean be pumped out when required. Felissier and Simpson, according to the Daily News, have had a meeting, with a view to prevent what they consider indiscreet revelations by newspaper correspon- dents, military and civil. General Marmora declares in an order of the day, that he will severely punish the authors of any letters which may have been foand, informing the Ruselans of the movements of the allies, to have injured the position of the Inter. A letter from Sebastopol in the Marseilles Journal saya that one of the orders which has been executed by the troops, with the greatest pleasure is that of filling np the trenches, It is stated that the troops regard their prospects so favorably that a great number of the sol diers of the class of 1847, who may now quit the service, do not wish to do so. THE EXPEDITION AGAINST ODESSA. ‘The allied fleet, which, according to the last news sailed on a cecret expedition from Sebastopol, anchored off Odessa on the 8th day of Cetober. Prince Gortscha. koff reports that the force consists of eight whips of the line, twenty-seven steamers, and one other vesvel. No news of the bombardment had been received up to the latest dates, but was expected immediately, Ovesan, since the destruction offthe corn porta in the Sa of Avoff, has formed the chief, if not the sole meana of support of the Rurslan army in the Crimea. The Emperor of Kus. via and suite arrived at Odessa on the 224 of September, but left again the next day for Nicolaieff to attend a council of war, THE BALTIC. The Russians are repsiring Sweaborg with the greatest activity, enlarging the barracks and building batteries &e. Farther accounts from Riga, though meagre, of th bombardment, state that the batteries at the mouth o Duna had wuffered little, but the battery at Bellen ha conriderably.

DEMONSTRATION OF THE ALLIRG UPON PEREKOP. Adewpatch from Prince Gortschakoff, dated October Oh, received at St. Petersburg, states that the allies had advanced from Eupatoria, threatening Perekop, but hal retired on meeting the advanced posts of the Russian Jeft fank. Sixteen battalions of the Ruslana were thrown Into disorder. REPORTED RETIREMENT OF THY RUBSTAN®. According to the Framkfort Pod Zeitung, the boty of the Russian army had been withdrawn froin the plateau on the north side of Sebastopol towards the heights of the Belbek. Only «few thousand mera uw garrison the northern forte fn (be neighborhood of Njeolstel some 45,000 wen are concentrated, 28,000 of whom belong to the newly raised military. RUSSIAN LOSSES AT SEBAGTOPOL. ‘The Tmalide Russe g.ves « detaited account of the | Highly Interesting Intelligence from the losses of the Russian garrison on the 8th September, as follows:—Willed 2,684, wounded 6,068, contusions 1,206, missing 1,754—tota: 11,701. The same journal states that the Russians lost 1,500 men on the 10th of Augast, and 1,000 men per day every day up to September 5th, ‘Thus it would appear that the losses of the girrison for the last three weeks of the siege amounted to 82,200 men, irrespective of disease. AFFAIKS ON THE DANUBE. According to the Constantinople Journal the com mander of the Turkish army on the Danube has received instructions to provide rations for forty or fifty thousend French troops, who areto arrive at Silistria about the end cf October, A telegraph from Constantinople states that the Anglo- ‘Turkish contingent has received orders to proceed to Schumia, DEFEAT OF THE TURKS IN ASTA. Gen. Moura vieut has forwarded to St. Peter.burg a re- port of a successful engagement, in which the Cossacks, militia and dragoons, commanded by Lieutenant-General Kovalerski, defeated a detachment of 1,800 regular Tur- kish cavalry, and 1,000 Bashi Bazouks, The Turks had about 400 killed, Ali Pasha, the commander who took part in most of the last wars of Turkey, was made prisoner. ‘The Turks lost ail their guns. ‘The garrison at Kars stili holds out though reduced to great extremos. Part of Omar Pasha’s force was ad- vaneing from Batouln to attempt (o raise the blockade. ‘The Turkish force now at Kaes numbers 10,000 men. MEDIATION. In 4 cireular addressed by the Austrian. government to its representatives, it ix intimated that though Prussia is at Uberty to act as mediator between the belligerent Powers, the present is not « favorable time for such mediation; that, fn fact, the Western Powers must fol- low up the advantoge gained, and not treat with Russia when they have expelled them from the Crimea. ‘The manifesto asserts that the most perfect understanding existed between Austria and Franco. A DRITISH FLERY SENT TO THE BAY OF NAPLES. Hex Majesty’s ships London, Rodney, Albion, Leander, aud Wasp, bave received orders to proceed under the command of Admiral Stafford, to the coust of Italy. They will begin their mission, it is sai, in the Bay of Naples, Great Britain. Thursday, the 10th inst., was the weekly board day of the Bank of England. A protracted took place, but no change was made in the rate of discount. A meeting of the creditors of Delisle & Janvrin had been eid, and the statement of their affairs was very satisfactory.

Ie is, Dr. Davega thinks ® RussoGerman, His wonderful celerity in imeronsing ond strengthening the defences of Sebastopol astonished even those who knew h m best; and the whole aemy em. tertain the most unbounded confidence in his enengy, his ability wnd bis skill, As to the movements of the Russians, the most pro. found secresy is kept by the gomerals, and to this iy at tributable the success with which they have in maoy ia- stances been attended. No ome kaows beforehand what they are going to do, and all their plans are gencraBy carried out with @ precision and despatch that has often surprised the allies, amd taken them at a disadvantage when they reposed in a feeling of perfect seourity, The old adage, ‘hear, see, and say nothing,’ is held not omy im the highest reverence among them, but is » law tho observance of which is commanded and enforced with elt the power and authority of military rule. It is the opinion of Dr. Davega that it is utterly impen- sible for the allies to avoid amother winter's campaign tn the Crimen in any other way than by lenvingit altogether. Their work bas only commenced with the taking of the south wide of Sebastoped; and the capture of the north aide—if it ever shall be eaptured—wii be attended with wtill greater loss than they have yet experienced. He comfirms the accounta we have already published, oo to the severitien of the elimate and the character of the country. They will be compelled to encamp, aa thoy @@ before, outside the city, as that part of it which the Russians gave up to them ia, as we have «nid, complete- ly untensble, and such ia the nature of the soil during ‘the rajvy season, that it is utterly impossible te use either cannon or cavelry, while the fot soldice simka down to bi# knees at every step. The prospects which open before the allies, under thew cireumstances, ese certainly of a most gloomy kind. Gortechakoll apoke truly when he said Generals Janusry and February woatd do alt thetr business for them. We have spoken of the teeling of the Russian soldiene in respect to the war, and we may add that it is» feeding: which ty entertained by all classes throughout the empire. The nobles are willing to sacrifice their fortunes, if meces- sary, ina war which they look upoa ns one of the most jun- tiftable that hax ever been waged by their country. In com- mon with the soldiers they believe that they cannot be @e- feated, and are determined on fighting for every inch of ground in the Crimea betore they give it ap. The religious enthusiasm of the soldiers ix kept up by the Greek priests, of whom there are a large uumber in the eamp, and whe inspire them with an idea thot they are engaged ina eru- sade against the infidel. Every addroas iasued by the Eempe- ror ia received by them with the greatest enthusiaam, and incites them to the most reckless deeds of daring and bravery, With an army inspired by much feelings, with an engineer who bas not, perhaps, his equal in ia- rope, with generals whose abilities bave been well tested, and with the disposal of almost unlimited resources at hia command, his ultimate success appears to be only @ question of tine, It only remains to be seen whether the difficulty will be patched up by diplomacy or settled by force of arms. Interior of Sebastopol. ‘THE QUESIAN DEFENCES ON THE NORTH SIDE. THE PERSONNEL OF THE RUSSIAN ARMY. The War Feeling Among the Russian soldiery, ko, &o., &e. Among the passengers who arrived at this port on Tuea- day last, by the packet ship Universe, from Liverpool, was Dr. Davegs, who comes direct trom the Russian camp: at Sebastopol, where be served in the capacity of eurgeon im the medioal staff. We paid him a visit yesterday, and in the course of a general comversation on the war in the Crimea, and the condition ef the contending parties on both sides, obtained the following particulars. Dr. Davega was eleven months in the Crimes, a considerable portion of which tine was apent immediately in the camp, where he lad an excellent opportunity of becoming acquainted with the character of the Russian, soldiers, andthe men by whem they are commanded. What he states, therefore, may be regarded as reliable, although it will be found widely at vuriance with many of the ac- counts published in the English papers. At the time of his departure from the Russian camp, which was about the middle of last month, the Allies Were In possession ‘of the southern side of Sebaxtopol, the Ruslans under Gortrchakoff stil} retaining undisputed possession of their strongly fortified positiom on the north side. This part of the city, he states, {4 still stronger than that which they have loat, or, more properly speak- ixg, than that which they have abandoned, as it now a} pears they did not intend to hold it longer tham was neces- sary to give them time to yemove their hospitals, their guns, mud whatever else they considered indispensable, ‘Their forts command every part of the south side which lies bolow them, completely within range of their guns, at a depth of at least over one hundred fect. It is evi dent from thix that they are in » still better position than they were when they had possession of the whole city, as they can render that part of it which ts in the possession of the Allies altogether untenable, This is 40 weil known to the Allies that they are actually be- ginning to regard their late successful, but dearly purchased, triumph as very unprofitable, if not worse than weeloes. On the other band, it is a matter of con- gratulation, he says, in the Russian camp, even among the common soldiers, who understand the great advan- tage it gives them over their for, For seven months the work of fortifying and strengthening the north side bas been going on, and now,,.such is the perfection to which they have brought that work, that every hill has been converted into a fort, and every point where cannon ean be placed is absolutely bristling with them. Here they not only command the south side, but they render it utterly impossible for the Allied fleet to enter the hagbor, or to come even within a long distance of it. In addition to this, the cond from their camp to Odessa is oveupied by dif- ferent detachments of their army, which, including the force in the camp, numbers 900,000 well disciplined, wellequip- ped, well-provisioned and every way effective troops, Bat this is not all—thelr fneflities for the transportation of troopsare such that they can if necessary bring their whole daposable force into the Crimea in the course of a few days. ‘The road from Perekop is open to them, and thes constantly receiving from that place immense supplies of ‘The statement, that they were deficient in thelr supplies ix therefore untrue, and we were told that at present they have sufficient for several months should all communication with that point be ont off by the Allies, Our readers may remember that n the papers which brought the account of the “ fall of Sebastopol,” it was stated that the Russians were in full retreat towards Perekop, and that a detachment of thirty thoumund of the Allied army was despatched The Grand Jury Presentment.

Downing ond hes whether there had been any indictment whatever found not the remotest idea of retreating, and were determined to remain where they were and defend their position to ‘the last. The story that six hundred Polos had deserted from the Russian army, Dr. Davega informed us, is not worthy of the slightest credit, A few may have deserted, bat he assured us that the cases of desertion on the other side were more numerous, and the day before he left six Sar- dinians had arrived at the Russian eamp. The army, too, instead of being demoralized, is in as perfect a state of order and discipline as thelr commanders could desire; and #0 far from being even discouraged, they have gained confidence and self-reliance from their frequent encoun. ters with the Allied forces. They have been, he says, greatly underrated; but the Allies have by this thine found ‘att by theGrand Jury against the said City Inspector, that out to thelr loo that, as Dogherry would sey, | 17 "tian theroupon iniormed the Clty laspector se Uns they are not the men they took them for, It ap- | geponent that there was nut any indietenent in his often pears now that they are among the finest sol; | ogainst the said City Inspector; and that there was wo ent found or presente! against lim atthe same time the Dintrie' City Ina pee ders in the world, and that they are in some respects superior to the French. It is a singular fact that while the English and the French scatter under a heavy fire, the Russians flock together and cling to each other with a tenacity that knows not when to yield. They never think of retrenting, and rash into battle with aa entha- sinem inspired by the nt feeling of religlou. They tell you they are fighting for “ their God, their Czar, and their country,” and they believe that death in such a cause is little lees than martyrdom, In fact, they regard it as such, and believe that the greatest sacrifice they can make is to die on the battle field fighting in defence of their church, of which they regard the Czar, under God, as the head, ury, rigned by Henry Be ben, their foreman, stating that no indictioent wae found ogainst the anid City Inepector: and that the bib sought 10 be preferred against him before the Grand Jury was by them Ignored or 1.
