The Franco of this evening, referring to a state ment published by Prussian newspapers, to the effect that the Sublime Porte had ordered the Greeks to be expelled from Servia and Roumania, says that if this statement be true Turkey has raised an inopportune question. The same paper, denying the rumour of a note having been addressed by Prince Gortachakoff to the French government, affirms that the latest communica tions between St. Petersburg and Paris aro ani mated by the most friendly feelings. The reaps of this evening exp the rumour in question as follows :—" Ito • o riginat ed in an in terview which took place la y between the French ambassador (Baron de Talleyrand) and Prince Gortachahoff, the substance of which was sent to Paris by telegraph by Baron de Talley rand." "In this interview Prince Gortschakoff," says the Temps, " informed M. de Talleyrand that if Turkey showed herself so exacting, it was be cause she bad reason to believe that she would be supported by the Great Powers. If such were the case Russia had a right to be more reserved in the steps taken, collectively to prevent a conflict be tween Turkey and Greece."

OPENING OF THE METROPOLITAN DISTRICT RALLWAT.—The opming of the first section of than railway will, it is expected, take place on Christems.day. From the forward state of the works, the large number of men employed—about 2 7 000 —and the hearty willingkood dis played in all directions,as witnessed during a visit Yester day, we can scarcely doabt that the expectation will be realised, and that passengers will be able to proceed so tar on an uninterrupted tour round London as from Finsbury, vit. Farringdon-road, Ring's-cross, Paddington, Notting-hill, Kensington, Brampton, and Pimlico, to Weetaninster-bndge.

The inostserions broke out on the premises of Mr. G. H. Brockbank, pianoforte manufacturer, 34. 36, 38, and 40, Great College-street, Camden-town. The manufacturing portion of tlLe_m mises formed two structures, in which were the and joiners' shops, the veneer, the polishing, th7C7.g . , and the general stores. Each pert of the building was well stocked with articles used in the trade, in cluding a large number of instruments, some finished and packed for exportation ; whilst in another part of the 06. tablishment ware over 100 partially-tinished pianos. How the fire happened is at present unknown, but about five hours previously, when the factories ware closed, each de partment was inspected for the purpose of seeing that the lights and fires were properly extinguished. Everything was then satisfactorily reported. The firewas not gotunder until a very large amount of damage was done.
