Note. — In consequence of the hasty and very impereet manner in which some of the Commit tees discharged their duties, many of tbe reports are meagre, and not as perfget as could have been desired. Very many beautiful and useful articles in the various departments were exhibit ed, which are fully noticed in the reports but omitted in tbe premium list. These reports will ; be embodied in the Socicety’s transactions, and published hereafter. Au older will be left for the payment of such premiums as have been | awarded but not delivered, at the store ot Messrs. I Clark & Co., by the 20th inst. James Camak, See. S. C. A. S. FOREIGN NEWS. -— _ i. Further per Steamer Union. I Number of the Allies in the Hospitals. ; —l'he numbers in hospitals at the present time I are nearly 3,000. Abour 1,500 are placed in the great barracks, 800 in the hospitals, and 500 or 600 in the Turkish line of bsit.tle ships moored off the Seraglio. This vessel was granted to the British authorities bv the Ottoman Government for the use of convalescents, who may be seen on a tine day pacing the decks or laying about in the sun, refreshed by the sea breeze and slowly re covering health and epiriis. Two long wards are lined each with a double row of beds, and though they seem confined and ill-ventilated, yet they are clean, and the men are not uncomforta ble. Within the last fortnight tressels have been provided for the beds to raise them off the cold ground. As the weather becomes more severe, I the benefits of this improvement will be grratly felt. Another ward is being prepared for the l reception of wounded, in accordance with or- ! der just received. The Commandant is ((i.tctcd ' to receive the wounded brought down from Balaklava after the 25tb, and furthermore, to provide accommodation for 1 000 others immedi ately, together with surgeons aud dressers to at tend upon them. The Prisonrs in the hands or the Rus sians.—A correspondent of the Loudon Times says: •‘ The hopes entertained so fondly that a con siderable number of missing officers were in the hands of tbe Russians as captives have been rudely destroyed by the result of Captain Fel lowes’mission to their camp. He went at 12 o’clock with a flag of truce, trumpeter, and inter preter, and was met at a great distance from the camp by an officer, who did not appear to be of high rank, and whom the English “Ambassador” had not seen at his first interview with the Rus sians.” Capt. Fellowes was informed that there were only two British officers in the hands of the Russians—namely, Lieut. Cloves, Bth Hussars, and Cornet Chadwick, 17th Lancers, and that both these young officers were wounded, though not seriously. Os non-commissioned officers and privates they have 58 prisoners, of whom 15 only are not wounded. It follows that our actual loss in killed on the field in that fatal charge amounts to 108 men and 11 < Hirers. A Porte n of the Baltic Fleet to Remain. —The Independence Beige publishes the fol lowing letter from Hamburg, of the 17th inst: “Dispatches from England for Admiral Napier reached Kiel on Wednesday evening. From what has transpired among the officers relative to their contents, it appears that the English Ministry, considering the presence of a great por tion of the fleet still necessary in tbe Baltic, has resolved not to recal it immediately, but to main tain it at Kiel until the 4th December, when Admiral Napier is to receive fresh orders, ac quainting him with the number of ships which are to return to England and those which are to winter at Kiel.” Vienna, Tuesday, Nov. 14, 1851.—Austria. —By the last paragraph ol my letter of the 12th you learned that Prince GortschakolF had offi cially communicated to the Austrian Minister for Foreign Affairs,the contentsol’ a dispatch which he had received from his Government. The St. Petersburg Cabinet has expressed its willingness to treat with Austria on the basis of the four conditions, and to withdraw the troops from the frontiers of Galicia: but men in the office are said to have no great confidence in its sincerity. The retreat behind the Pruth was a strategetie movement, and the withdrawal of the Russian Guard to the right bank of the Vis tula has arisen from political considerations. It is the policy of Russia alternately to cajole and menace Austria The St. Petersburg Cabinet is well aware that it would ba utterly impossible to offer successful opposition to the Western Powers, if they were intimately allied with Austria, and, therefore, it now bolds out hopes to the latter—which it assuredly has not the least intention of realizing—that the lour guarantees will be given. It was generally supposed that negotiations were going on between the Western Powers and Austria for an offensive and defensive alliance, > and the Russian Government took care to excite the fears of the smaller German Slates, by point ing out to them the utter impossibility of their maintaining their neutrality if Austria should conclude a treaty of alliance with England and France, and tins at once brought Messrs. Vun Der Ptordten and Von Beust into the field. The Austrian Government was not slow to > perceive the advantage of its position, and it gave Prussia and Germany to understand that if , assis'ance could not be obtained from the Con tele I'tion it must besought elsewhere. It is ‘toutly denied in Government circles that the policy of Austria has und'-rgone any change, but theolfiruil Wnrtemberg, S’a.’.'s Anzeige, cou i taiuu tbe positive information wtiich induces we Ito believe that i! the Westein f'oweis üboii'o le- i I fuse to treat on the basis of tne four coudi ions. | Austria will consider herself at liberty to with (draw from the coalition. I Oo the 30th of last month a note was sent from Berlin to this city, as answer to the Aus trian despatch of the 23d of of the same month, which can hardly tail to have a very great influ ence on the policy ol this Government. The note is probably as long as Prussian State docu ments usually are, but its sense is: 1. Prussia considers the four 'conditions as indispensably necessary so the re-establishment of peace. 2. A promise is demanded from Austria, that what ever may happen during the war, they will not go beyond these conditions. 3. A collective proposal shall be made to the Bund tu join Atis tria and Prussia iu demanding trie four condi tions from Russia, and, if it is agreed to, the Ger man Confederation, Austria and Prussia shall then declare to the St. Petersburg Cabinet that the acceptance of the four points is necessary to the conclusion of a firm and lasting peace in Eu rope. 4 Austria shall be entitled to the assis tance oi Prussia and the German Confederation not only if she is attacked within her own terri tories, but also if she should be molested in the Danubian Principalities. 5 The Military Com mission of the Bund shall take the necessary measures lor giv.ng force to the foregoing resolu tions. Prussia—Berlin, Saturday Nov. 18.—The German papers, become more and moreengross, ed with copious dispatches and reports from tbe seat ol war, to the exclusion of almost every other subject; there is, however, very little of interest going on here at this moment, so that doubtless there is nothing lost. There is one feature in the Crimean campaign, mentioned lately by the Kolnische Zeitung, that in the Tartar population in the Crimea guerilla bauds I and troops of free hooters are forming rapidly, , who harrass the Russians very much by cutting i off their supplies of ammunition and provisions. I I The Kreuz Zeitung, true to its mission of be- ! guilling its readers into a disbelief of any news ; unfavorable to the Russians, printed this com munication with the accompanying statement, “ More idiotcy.” From vaiioussides there come corroborations of the news that Omar Pasha is about to take a more active part in the present campaign than he has lately done, more particularly the fact that Sadik Pasha’s having arrived at the Sereth. Italy —The Par'arnento of Turin on the 17th inst. states that the Piedmontese Government i had received a report from Captain Govone on 1 the military operations in the Crimea. M. Go- | votie was present at all the engagements, and j had a horse killed under him at the affair ol the ! 25th ult. Aaothei Sardinian officer, M. Landri I ani, attached to the allied army, had disappear ed, although he was not on the list of. the killed or wounded. Death op Lord Fitzgibbon—Cruelty of the Russians.—Lord Fitzgibbon's death is now ; quite certain. Tbe poor yovng fellow had been seen by his men, as they retreated, pursued by the Russians, sitting up, though very severely wounded, and it was hoped he might still be alive. A dead body, supposed to be his, had been brought in, but it was subsequently asrer tained that it was a mistake. The Russian shipped our dead. Their Lancers were seen killing the wounded as they lay on the field. This is creditablyj affirmed by many who were witnesses of the horrible deed. There is a rumor that the cause of our disas ter is being closely investigated by the authori ties, and that it dees not appear poor Captain Noland was so much to blame as was at first sup posed by those who did not know his strict char acter as an officer and a soldier. The Russian Troops in Sevastopol Paris, Sunday, Nov. 19, 6 P. M.—lt is stated that communications received from Prince Mens chikoff, and transmitted in all haste to foreign Courts by Prince Paskiewitsch, bear date Se vastopol, the 10th They announce that Prince Menschikoff had caused the whole of his infantry to enter Sevas topol, and that he was making every prepara tion for a general attack on the Anglo French lines. The Prince expresses his intention, un less some outward circumstances occurred so pre vent it, that tbe attack should take place on the 11th or 12tb; and he indulges in his dispatch in tbe most sanguine expectations as to its issue. The object of the Russian General appears to be principally to cut off our communication with the bay of Cape Chersonese, with a view to the complete annihilation of the allies—a result ■-vhlch Prince Menschikoff, or Prince Psskie witsch for him, anticipates or affects to antici pate with confidence. The Russian General dwells with much plea sure on the tempestuous state of the Black Sea the roaring ot whose waves, he says, he hears from his quarters and gloats over the idea that some awful diaaster will have befallen our ! vessels. It is said, too. in the same dispatch, j that a considerable number of the Turks had deserted to the Russian camp, aud this unusual | abandonment of their standaid is accounted for ! by the severe privations they have labored un der for some time, no less than by the sarcasms and harsh treatment to which they have been exposed since their pusillanimous conduct at Balaklava. To the stories these deserters may have told the Russian General, ami tbe exaggerated ac count they have given of the position and pros pects of the Allies, is attributed the blind confi dence the Russians appear to have in the success of this last desperate attempt against the Allies. In one of the most recent letters from the ' Anglo French lines, it is stated that the 15th was the day on which the assault would be made. The troops are described as most impa tient to begin. The Shells of the Besiegers.—Under date of the 2'2d, the St. Petersburg Journal states that the shells ot the besiegers had caused sevei al fires in Sevastopol, but that they had been put out by the Russians b fore they could extend far; that the garrison mounted fresh cannon at every fx>int, in some degree sheltered from the fire of the besiegirs, but that the franc-tircurs were very successful in picking oft the gunners of the Rus sian batteries. Under date of the 23d we are informed tnat a fire broke out on the night ot the 22d between the old tower, which had been converted into a heap ot ruins by the besiegers, and the central part ol the town ; it was not quite extinguised at break oi day, but was not very apparent. A Russian ship of the line, which,was at the south west of the port, and the fire of which had been directed against the left ot the English works, had disappeared, but it is not stated from what cause. Arrival of Reinforcements.—A letter from Pera, dated November 10, says : “ Tbe reinforcements which arrive are prompt ly expedited to the Crimea. The Napoleon has taken on board 2000 men, who arrived in mer chant vessels, and sailed on the 7th for Sebasto pol, as well as tbe Sane, which brought 1100 from Africa. The Mayran brigade is in the Bos phorus, on board the Asmodee, the Chaptai and the Solon, which are replenishing their coals, in order to enter the Black Sea. The entrance ot two other vessels with troops is signalized. The Suffren has safely arrived before Constantinople.” The Journal de Constantinople contains the following account of the victory ot Inkermann: “Early on the morning of the Sth a Russian army, about 40,000 strong, of whom 30,000 men consisted of reinforcements which arrived on the preceding evening, under the command of Gen. Danuenburg and the Grand Dukes Michael aud Alexander, profiting by an intense fog, marched upon Inkerinanii to the extreme limit of the English army, and attacked them vigorously. “General Cathcart assembled about 8,000 men, whom he opposed to the Russians, and for more than two hours this handful of brave soldiers had been struggling with the most heroic intrepidity against an army so superior in number, when the French troops arrived in all haste, and, join ing Wiemselves to the English with an admirable spirit of fraternization, opposed to the enemy a body of about 3000 men, who charged tbe Rus sian masses one against five, and ’repulsed them with the most irresistible impetuosity. “The Monet brigade arrived soon afterwards, and its arnval completed the rout ol the Rus »iniis, who retired in disorder about) 4 o’clock iu the afternoon. I During the engagement, 8 000 men of ths i garrison of Sebastopol made a sortie, amt attack led some companies who supported the French I lines, which were not more than 100 metres from i the place. I “General de Lourmul went immediately with ! a tew battalions to the assistance of these com panies, who sustained the attack with intrepidi ty, repuls.d the Russians, and forcing them to take flight, pursued them to within twenty paeea ol the Quarantine Battery. At that point a ae lious wound forced him to stop, and the Ras sians were enabled to take refuge in the place. •' In these two affairs the Russians, in killed and wounded, lost the service ol more than 10,- 000 men. Tbe loss of the allied armies amour to ■ to about 3,000 men in killed and wounded.” Mr Pickens’ Anniversary Oration. Those, and they were many ,who bad the con rage to brave exposure to the penetrating cold o< ' the winds, were well compensated by listening' to Mr. Pickens’ anniversary discourse before tbe literary societies of the College on Tuesday eve ning. The assemblage of beauty and intellect that collected at the College Chapel evinced the inter esting character of the occasion. Alter prayer had been offered by the Rev. Dr. Reynold, Mr Pickens was introduced to the audience, and commenced his address. His theme was one well suited to the genius ot a statesman conversant with public affairs — the Influence of the Govern ment on the Nature and Dcstiuiy of Man, and nobly was this interesting topic treated by him Absolute power and physical force,said Mr. Pick ens, characterized the social organizations of an tiquity, but deferenc-to moral and intellectual i power had marked the progress of modern civili- I zation. Greece had her poets, artists, orators and ! philosophers, whose ascendancy is felt to th» i day, but the religion of antiquity (and religion ■ was the vital element of society) had been sa i perseded by a profounder and purer system,which I came into direct antagonism with the ancient laiths, and changed the whole framework of so ciety. Even philosophy was imbued with the spirit of the new doctrines, and Christianity found its votaries among the followers of Plato. But government was a most powerful agent in promoting its progress. Constantine made it the religion of tbe Roman empire, and, in a later age, Henry VIII, though actuated by evil designs, planted it more fiimly. Individuals might rise superior to the influent* I of outward circumstances, but the minds ot tbe l masses, their thoughts aud sentiments, were i modified and controlled by government. Innate i ideas might exist, and they were confined to men j it genius, few and tar apart, whose lights trem ble here and there like the rays of fixed stars upon the tide of the time. Tbe broad contras* that existed between the ancient and modera Greek, and the ancient and modern Roman, was not owing to climate or scenery, for these wero unchanged, but was attributable solely to the profound workings of government Tbe same was emphatically true of the Jews, who, while theii religion remained substantially unchanged, had passed through various phases of character corresponding with the changes of government they had experienced. At different times they had exhibited the greatest and the meanest traita that checker the history of mankind, under Mo ses they were trained to heroism in the wilder ness, aud they were the first to make a division of the powers of State, and to lay the founda tions ot a municipal government. The Pharisees and Sadducees constituted two great national parties, of whom the former upheld the priest hood and the monarchy, but maintained that the •supreme authority, in the last resort, belonged to the people. The Sadducees belonged to the aris tocratic branch of the Jewish polity, and to thei ambition in seeking an alliance with the Ror mans the downfall of the constitution of tbeiu country was attributable, and with the change of government that succeeded, the higher and nobler traits that had distinguished the annals of the Jewish people wire no longer to be traced in their history. They still possessed the elemental oi greatness, and prophecy siemed to point to a time when they would regain tbe position which had once rendered them so powerful and influen tial a nation. The Persians and Egyptians had done tnucll lor the civilization of the world ; Jbut the Jews, the Greeks and the Romans had made a greater impression upon the history of our race—its laws,institutions and ideas—than all other na tions. They had, with the exception of georns tiy, little knowledge ol tbe exact sciences; bat each of these people had its great .tl-a:, the iutl4- ence of which had been felt by all otbci uatiune, and through all succeding times. In illustrating the influence of government on tbe nature ol man, Mr- Pickens dwelt at consid erable length on the effects produced by tbe re volutions that took place in the Roman govera- I 1 merit, which were favorable, he said, to the ds velopmedt, not of philosophical opinions, but of popular eloquence and military prowess, and ia the decline of the empire of poetical genius.— ' All, or nearly all, ot the philosophy ot the Ro mans was borrowed from the Greeks: but ia statesmanship, in politics, in eloquence, in mils tary science, the Romans never had their supe- - j ; nors. Individuals, said Mr. Pickens, were educated by reading, observation and reflection; but a na tion or people were educated by great evente. Monarchies and republics might be equally des potic, but they exerted widely different iiifluea ces, and diverted the mind into different chan nels of thought and action. The age of Cato and Marcus Brutus,of Hurtensius, Lucullus and Cicero was the turning point, he said, in Rcmaa affairs. The sketches of these illustrious Ro mans, particularly of Cicero, were living po traits, and drew down the applause of the audi ence. He traced out the history ot Rome to its conclusion, dwelling on the genial influence ex erted byttie Antonines on the aits and literature. The Goths and Vandals, though usually reck oned among Barbarians, had exercised an influ ence on modern civilization that was deeply felt tothisday. By the introluction of municipal governments they imparted vitality to the mass es, liberty to the individual, and stability to po litical institutions. Hence, he said, it was ia Germany alone, we bad any hope lor fixed prin ciples of independence in Europe. In France there could be no fixed liberty. In Hungary and Italy there might be better prospects, arising from their State organizations; but Germany was the only bulwark ol modern independence in Europe, if there was any fixture for it in that country at all. Mr. P. hoped much from Ger many, and from the influence she exerted as a nation of profound thinkers and elegant scholars. We have neither time nor space to pursue far ther his train of argument. A discourse em bodying so much valuable historical information, so many profound political and philosophical views of society and government in a narrow compass, can scarcely even be sketched in the columns of a newspaper, and for the benefit ot the rising generation, and of the general reader, should be given entire through the medium of the press in more enduring and appropriate formj Whether government exercises a wider an« deeper influence on the destinies of mankind than letters or religion, may be a question ; but) the powertul and unquestionable influence exer ted by government on the character of individa als and nations will be found to beset forth with masterly ability and eloquence in Mr. Pickens’ admirable discourse.
