This date /144• MS confirmed by the large embarkations of Russian troops for the designated theatre of war in Asia, taking . place at present at Sebastopol. if my information is correct it differs in so tar knot the Tines that the Emperor Nicholas, on being apprised of the declaration of war by the Sultana, flat not use the terms of a war of extermination, hat of a war to be conducted with the utmoat rigour. My informant also ennsiders the prwelaimed neutrality of the two tiennan powers as by no means absolute, but based on the supposition that the two great naval powers will abstain from interfering materially in the im pending warfare. Baron Kisselett; Russian Minister at Paris, is, as a matter of course, instructed to de mand his passport as soon as Prince would inter vene actively. At. Vienna the political setenfiOs are persuaded that the English ministers will but mine tautly engage in actual conflict, I MIIIIII no a ey e am a s long as it will be limited to Asia. Lord Westmorland, It is said, sent some days ago a special messenger to Lord Reach& calling on him to use. his Utlllo4i en deavours to prevent the actual outbreak. England and Renee show themselves disposed to approve of a new project of note prepared by lord Itedeliile, acceptance of which would become impossible if hOs• tallies were formally engaged. News from Constan tinople to Oct the loth states, indeed, that the alerts had not yet passed the D ar danelles, and that the four ships which hall entered had returned to liesika Bay. A rumour, which I mention as such, speaks of proposed conferences at. london, those at Vienna being virtually dissolved by the abstention of France and Enghuid.

Monsignor tiermanos hall protested against the new ecclesiastical discipline commanded by !Ru s sia, a nd it is Said unit he had for that r e a s on incurred the displeasure of Prince Menschikoff. There it con siderable intrigue going tOrward to influence the elec tion. Some of the candidates are partisans of Turkey and the others of Russia.

Too Patrie states, as a proof of the friendly dis position of Persia towards the Porte, that a contract in Persia for ILIWN) horses for the Turkish cavalry bad just been executed with the sanction of the Court of Teheran. THE Ilereslitary Grand Puke Alexander has ar rived at Kief, the centre of the armaments against Turkey. MR.

The official who commimi_ eated Gs her the order for her liberation was obliged to inform her that he had full power to make her leave her prison, whereupon alto demanded a certifi cate in due form, stating that she had been forcibly ejected. Tux Kum or rm.: Bra.otaxii, accompanied by the Duke and Duchess de Brabant, the Count de Flandres, anal the Princess Charlotte arrived at 1/over yesterday ( Friday) morning from 4 istend, and palmed through London en route to Windsor Castle, on a visit to her Majesty and the Prime Consort.

Inheriting the estates of Fairbairn, Strath minim), and Minter, which were granted to his ancestor by James IY. Of Scotland, Sir Alexander received the first rudiments of his education at Edinburgh, as an associate of Walter Scott, and his early military instruction with the Duke of Welling ton, at the Academy of Angers, in France. Serving as it subaltern in the Ist Royals, anal as a captain in the -3'2nd Highlanders, he obtained at an early ago the lieutenant-coloneley of the 75th.

Tut: Ememion of Fayset: has conferred an an nuity of 11,0044.

MEETINU t►F CARPENTERS AM) JOINERS AT EXETER HALL. A 201111101'54 meeting of mechanics of the above trades was 11011 at eight o'clock p.m. on Thursday last, to consider what course they should pursue in the present slide of the labour market. The hall and gallery were filled, and sin the platform was a good attemlanee. The meeting consisted of w o rking men, and until half past nine, when we left, their con dint was more orderly than is occasionally that of more illustrious assemblies. Mr. Hooper occupied the chair, and the point chiefly dwelt upon by the speakers was that of over time, especially systematic overtime, which if abo lished, more workmen would lie emiloyed, and each would have m o re leisure for mental itnpr o ..... One suggested that architecture and geometry were brandies of knowledge essential to carpenters, and added that he, after attempting for two years to study them, was, owing to the present system of working overtitne, compelled to give up the attempt. One orator, the Demosthenes of the evening, excited much amusement. His manner was that of the most melodramatic of the penny-theatre-terrific-thunder and lightning school. His matter was wrapt in such rainbow coloured metaphorical mist that it was diffi cult to seise it. •• Annals of liistory—memorablei*-- carpenters of London, arrayed in their glorious unri‘ ailed beauty, unfurled their banner and t oo k the field." ,f e. The honest carpenters laughed heartily at. him. Rllll it was N most ludicrous exhi bitilin, the attendant.e of any one in search of amusement. A Mr. Bowyer, connected w ith th e printing business, wade o good speech, in excellent SATVRDAY, manner and feeling. An amendment was moved in a very sensible address by a working man to th e effect that, as carpenters were free, there was no oe. casion for combined action on the part of the working men to coerce their employers. "If you don't like systematic overtime, leave your employer," he con cluded. He was hissed at first, but fair play soon prevailed, and he sat down amid loud applause. The conduct of the meeting was creditable and honourable to the carpenters of London. The ap pearance of the men was highly respectable. W Alt-GI:FICK OCTOBER 21.
