Account* of battles and skyntishei on the Danube have reached England in most perplexing multiplicity during the past week. Every telegraphic despatch from the various sources of so called information contradicts the statements of preceding messages, and communicates some new intelligence, which, in its turn, is declared false or exaggerated by later 'dykes. The reports of some encounters between the Turke and Russians, immediately after the former had crossed the Danube, are, however, confirmed, as well as the statement that the result had been favourable to the Ottoman forces. The most important of these engagements took plate, *wording to our anounce ment last week, at Oltenitza on the 4th inst. Since then there would appear to have been no serious collision—at most, nothing but skirmishes. This conclusion is warranted by a telegraphic despatch received by Vely l'acha, Ottoman .In►bassader in Paris, from the Austrian Envoy of the Porte in Vienna on Tuesday last, and which is confirmed by the latest intelligence. The despatch states :—" The communications from the theatre of war come down to the I lth inst. At that period nothing decisive had taken place." The last advice,' front Bucharest are dated Novem ber 14. They announce that the Turks, after de stroying the fortifications at Oltenitsa, had recrossed the Danube without being molested, The Russian force concentrated round °Realty& amounted to 45,1100 men. 6n the Mill the Russian manifesto wait read in all the churches of Bucharest. Shots were conlinually exchanged near tiittrgevo. Turks and Russians were both trying to get posses sion of the island of Mokauon. General Engelhardt WAS ►ulvaneing from Hmilow on Gomm Jahannitza with a brigade of the sth corps. He had been replaced by a part of the reserve of the 4th corps whirl► latterly entered Moldavia. Thereservem were estimated at I'.'.,lNN► men. This despatch Mlle through Vie' nua ou Thursday, and is pronounced, on what authority we know not, to be " authentic." Only the day before a despatch of very different complexion travelled to England by the same channel, stating that "the Turks hadalready passed Bucharest, which was on tire in three places ;" that the Miamians were retreating on emnatadt; that fifteen thousand Turks hail been despatched to intercept them through the principality of Servia ; and that the Austrian tiovernment had ordered an army corps to be immediately concentrated in t !coati& But this message must doubtless* be considered Un authentic. Some full, and apparently credible, details of the engagement at Jiatotim, on the Asiatic frontier, are communicated in a letter from Constantinople. It appears that on Oct. llth .elim Dacha, with :I,ooii regulars and as many Itashiboiouks, cro•owti the Churnk Son rivulet, and attacked the Russian fort named Chuketil l Nieolai on our maps), and after a determined assault carried the place, which was commanded by General Osgaroti, who had tinder his orders three battalions of regulars, and 300 co, isfte k s . The Russians are stated to have suffered great losses, as no quarter was given or taken. About WO fine luaus were left dead, and the remainder, on with drawing from the fort, set fire to their barracks. The Turks brought to Trebizond about QM) prisoners, mostly wounded, and five Cossacks, one of whom is lieutenant: they were sent on W Constentinork. THE PRESS. Accounts from St. Petersburg of the Nth state that ordeni hail been given for the commissariat depart ment, with provisions for the troops around that capital, to be ready ti march at a moment's notice. The Emperor bet out after the review on the 3rd. M. Dronyn de L'Huys has replied to the last note of Count Nesse'rode. It is stated that he professes to regard the note as pacific, but remarks strongly on the passage about the intervention of the Western powers. He contends that as the Emperor of Russia continues to declare that he has no wish to attack the integrity of Turkey, or the sovereign rights of the Sultan, and as the object of the Western powers is only to guarantee that integrity and that sove reignty, there was no necess►ty tOr supposing the possibility of the peace of Europe being disturbed by the intervention of France on behalf of the Porte. _ ACeOUIIII4 Irma Marseilles announce the arrival of Namik l'aeha from Constantinople, on his wad• to Paris and London, to contract a loan for the Turkish liuvenitneut. Seventy-seven ships laden with wheat arrived in 'Marseilles on Saturday and Similay last ; and 2110 vessels, also laden with corn, arrived at Constanti nople I•romn the Black Sea, between Oct. Is and Nov. 1. Some ffirther Political arrests have taken place at I►ijon. The Paris journal has been suspended for dis• cussing political subjects without authority. The Cologne Gazette states that. Count de Iluol- Sehanenstein, the Austrian Minister for Foreign Affairs, has resolved to resign, and that his portfolio has been oared to Count Thun, the Austrian Am bassador at Berlin. The candidate of the Russian party for the portfolio in question is M. de Fiquel mont, but it is not believed he has any chance. Tiii Solent arrived yesterday at Southampton with the October mails (rein the West Indies. The Ja maica Legislature had assembled under the direction of Sir Henry Barkly, and several important measures had been brought before it. The mining operations in that colony were pmeeeding most satisfactorily. Agricultural prospects were also gratifying. Trade, however, had not improved. Fever prevailed at Granada and St. Vincent, but the troops were un affected by it. The intelligence from the other islands is of little importance. IT is understood that a large sum in Russian half imperials was on Thursday withdrawn from the Bank of England for shipment to St. Petersburg and Odessa. OIRRALTAII.--Tho disputes between the Governor of Gibraltar aunt the inhabitants of that city have reached such a crisis that a deputation has been sent home to lay the facts of the ease before the Colonial-office. It appears that the governor has on one or two occasions absolutely prohibited public meetings from being held, and has refused to for. ward to the home authorities memorials on the sub ject, signed by many of the most respectable British residents, who have therefore determined to seek direct reparation from the Duke of Newcastle. ANOTHICR ARCTIe SEARCII.—it Watt unanimously agreed, at the meeting of the members of the Oeogra phical Society on Monday night last, that the chair man, Sir Roderiek Murchison, should solicit the Ad miralty to send out another expedition to the Arctic regions in the summer of 'K.►l. The new Arctic expedition is intended to proceed in quite a contrary direction to any of those previously sent out from this country in search of Sir John Franklin and the officers and crews of the Erebus and Terror dis covery ships, new upwards of eight years absent from England. EART.Y yesterday morning a very destructive fire broke out on a range of premises belonging to Messrs. Haines and Son, maehinery -band makers, fie., in Andrews street, New Kent-road, the whole of which, notwithstanding the exertions of the firemen, were totally consumed. The origin remains to be dis covered. A Snocxiso Muntirn has been committed at a village called Lyre, near l►unster, in Sninersetshire. The victim was Kliza Coles, a young girl of eleven years, who resided with her mother and brother in a lone house, also occupied by an aged woman, named Mary Norman. The latter saw &waned for the last time alive talking by the tire with James Bailey, a man who lived at the neighbouring village of Juxbo rough. In the evening of that day the girl was missed, and, search being made, her body was found in a barn not far otr, with the throat cut in a horrible manner. The testimony of the old woman Norman, the discovery of buckle, strap, and knife, and some marks of a boot, combined to draw suspici !!!! upon Bailey, who was arrested, and a coroner's jury have since returned a verdict of "Wilful M tinier " against Win, under wind' he has been committed to SATURDAY, DEATH OF THE PRINCESS NICHOLAS EsTERHAZY. Tuts amiable lady died at Torquay on Thursday last, after a protracted illness. In the earlier part of this year the l'rincess had resided at Ischl and Ems, for the baths, but was subsequently recom mended to return to her native air, and accordingly removed to Hastings, and latterly to Torquay, where she had remained only • week before the disease reached its fatal termination. The deceased was the eldest daughter of the Earl and the brilliant and accomplished Countess of Jersey, born August 12, 1821, and married on the Bth February, 1842, his Highness Prince Nicholas Esterhazy, only son of his Excellency Prince Paul Esterhazy, for many years Ambassador from Austria at the Court of St. James. Iler late Highness leaves a young family. Her two eldest children, Princes Paul and Rodolph, had accompanied her to England, and were re.ident with her at Torquay at the time of her lamented decease. DEATH OF THE DUKE OF BEAUFORT. Ir is with deep regret that we announce the death of his Grace the Duke of Beaufort, which occurred at Badminton-house, the family seat in Gloucester shire, on Thursday afternoon. The melancholy event was very unexpected, alarming symptoms having appeared only on the previous day, when his grace was seized with an attack of gout in the stomach, which terminated, fatally in a little more than twenty-four hours. The deceased Henry Somerset, seventh Duke of Beaufort, was the eldest son of Henry Charles, the sixth duke, by Charlotte Sophia Leveson, daughter of Granville, first Marquis of Stalibrd. He was born on the sth of February, 171 n, and entered the army early in life, served on the staff towards the close of the Peninsular war, and was taken prisoner by the French under Soult. Soon after attaining his majority, while bearing the courtesy title of Marquis of Worcester, he was elected member of the House of Commons for the Monmouthshire boroughs, which he continued to represent until 1832. - In 1535 he was returned for est Gloucestershire, but succeeded to the dukedom in November of that year. lie was made K.U. in 1541. The deceased duke was twice married. He is succeeded by his only son, the Marquis of Worces ter, M.l'. for East Gloucestershire. Throughout his career in the House of Commons, and afterwards among the Peers, the late duke was a zealous advo. cats of high Conservative principles. He was also justly and widely esteemed for the magnificent hos pitality displayed during a long course of years at Badminton—as a patron of the turf, and a princely supporter of the chase. In the latter character he acquired, indeed, an European reputation. In his own county, Gloucestershire, he enjoyed great in fluence and unbounded popularity. His social and personal qualities confessedly distinguished him even among his order as le perle des gentilkommes. Nelson's Aag and signal-lieutenant at Trafalgar, REAR-At:n(lnm. Pow°, died at hie residence, Dun). ford-street, Stonehouse, Plymouth, on Tuesda y morn ing, after an attack of English cholera, which carried him off in three days.

He was also the senior of the Vic tory at Trafalgar, where he was wounded ; and com mander of the Tartarus during the operations on the coast of America in 1515.
