The steamer Baltic has arrived, with Livarnnnl HuIpa of (Vlolwr 1 1 On the 25th a great battle was fought I I before Sebnstopol, which resulted in the I ( utter annihilation of the Russimi army.? i ( 18,000 perished on the field of battle and j 22,000 were captured, together with 1,000 j pieces of artillery. The allies lost 10,000 ! * men in killed and wounded. Prince Menchikoflf with tha shattered I remnant of hit army still gallantly refuses to surrender, although Sebnstopol is in j flames and tho allies have sunk ten ships of war in the harbor. The effect of this great victory has been favorable upon the uioney nnd cotton inn r 1 kets.

SEVASTOPOL NOT TAKEN: New York, October 20. The stenmcr Africa has arrived, with Liverpool dates of October 7. She brings the astounding intelligence that Sebaatopol bed not yetk*en taken, and that tho accounts brought by the Baltic relative to the destruction of the Russian fleet, the surrender of Mcnehikoff, &c? were base fabrications. The despatch signed "Oiner Pacha" was also a forgery. On the 27ta, when tho oflicial courier left, the fiffhtinir was flroinir on without interrup- 1 tiou. MoochikofF with 30,000 men had kept the open tie Id till the 35th, but ufter i desperate fighting was driven into Sebastopol. The allied armies and fleets were in fall communication with each other, and hnd formally invested th< place.

An ancient custom ? in that Church forbids males and females I from sitting together during service, and | aeon it was circulated through the congre- c gation that "a man was among the women." t The Plaintiff was requested to go on the c 'man's side," but he remained seated.

The Condition o* ihe CountryIjist week we made a few remarks in r? lution to the condition of the country ; mor particularly did we allude to the scarcity o money, nod tho want of accommodation i our bink*. We have since thought of til subject, and put our poor cranium to worl to see if re could propose a remedy. Although unable to devise any nev scheme, we can coincide with the views c: pressed by others. A writer in a late nun ber ol the Charleston Evening News, pr< poses to abolish the usury laws. lie sayi "VVe would not encumber every ban charter with numberless restrictive clans* ?the greater the number the more diflieu of detection, becoming, therefore, in the en evasive and nugatory. But we would er ate alongside of the ban ks a- power great thnn the banks themselves, with all the pi vileges conferred upon them by their cha " ters, and all those they assume in a spirit reckless indifference. That power is a fr? money market. It is the abolition of tl usury laws. "The State, however, still - maintain the legal rate of interest as regar the bunks themselves, in compensation the privileges they receive under their eh. r' | tcr. r- j "The necessity for the abolition of tl y usury laws is, we think, admitted by all.ai - scarcely therefore needs discussion. Esta lish a free money market, und you have new, independent clement introduced for t y assistance nnd the relief of commerce. Speculative capital, if we may so term ? enters the field and takes the chances 0 greater or smaller returns, according to t i0 risks of its investments. This new elem* ,q acts for itself. Controlled by no arbitra management or direction, and Icgilimi ' pnmitufitwin luwnmnu !?<? ' , . o. those extortions and abuses whirl) are I id necssary consequence ot' a penal system ^ matters of usury. Money, like commer should be left to regulate itself; and a fi money maket is, after nil, nothing else I free trade applied to finance. [e We agree with the writer in the Nev n I K .'strict the banks to a certain rate of int est, but allow thepeople in general to In or borrow at such rates as to them ni d seem proper. '* An argument which a gcuflcinati in ** once in our presence, while this subject w under discussion, was, that interest ale a* brought men to bankruptcy. Interestaci mulated so fast at 7 per cent, that in a shi m time it exceeded the principal, and theiofi he was a strong advocate for thecontinuai of the present usury laws. As the writer in the News, says "mor >n like commerce, should be left to regul itself." So say wc. The Philadelphia e respondent of the Charleston Courier, speaking of the election in Pennsylvania es some such expression 'that in an arid cratie government, it would lie imposM "j! for an election for so many public offices j pass ofT so harmoniously.' In civil ns w os political matters, may w e he guided i controlled by the spirit of republicanism The present usury laws serve to place on cr a yoke, which its very framers sought ry abolish.

Perhaps had H. not procured this money, he would have I e- to a great extent. In other words, by t r. rowing one thousand dollars at an inter il of ten or fifteen per ccut, he has saved a I [f equal to thirty or fifty per cent. If a n d is in his sober, rational aunses, will lie willing to give more for money than i worth to him! ^ We hare no doubt hut many of ourco ^ try merchants would anve money, by |i ^ curing the commodity, at twice the prcs . r .te of interest. lie can buy his goi ^ in New York cheaper with the cash, for jobber there is not forced to sell his eus filer's paper to the Pros dcnls of our ban We alluded to this matter last week.

They can pay greater dividends, aa the wii it at present work. 1 he writer in tho Ne g suggests the propriety of limiting the bar r- to declaring a certain dividend: say a di n dend of 8 per rent, and in all cases th y shall not declare a dividend over that. I n hardly see the necessity for this. We i I. of the opinion, that if individual* who i a for themselves individually were showed t . priviledges which the bunks enjoy, and whi a priviledge was intended for the good of t d people, the said hanks would cease to decli t such good dividends. ? When the stock of a bank commands mc in market than its first actual cost, it aria from ths fact of its declaring s good di' dend, exceeding the legal interest of tl 1 8tale. This is in contrsdistinction to t law of the land. A bank confines its op | rations to exchange, discounts 4lc. Itdea , altogether with money, and if confined i I money alone, for s loan (in one sense of 11 I I word it is n loan) to pmj an interest or dii ' dead of 10 or 14 per cent, is ancooetitaUo 1 si?illegal.

Instead of 6 per cent,(bank interes)it realized 12, or perhaps 20 percent Each, or may j. be every one of the class we have mentioned, would have been profited even if they i. paid 10 per cent for money. Could either in ^ violation of ail law, make such a proposition to monied men ? It lly a beautiful law of Political Econmy, di every nrticle^of commerce er consumption, regulates its price. 8ometiines when there is a scarcity in market, prices advance, but r- so soon as the supply increases, prices re* of code. For instance, beef has heen coinnr npu ding an unusunllv high price in New York, t(( rn account of its senreity. The farmers in ds thecoi ntry. soon hearing what an excellent of price beef was bringing, immediately rushed ,r* their beeves to market, and the consequence is. the increased quantity decreased tho price.

The author pisses n just encomium on the literary abilities of John Mitehcl, but condemns him for having an opinion on the subject of slavery, more particularly, for expressing that opinion in favor of the South.
