RUSSIA AND TURKEY. (From our Brussels Correspondent.) I HAVE from a goal sour►•e that the►e will positively be no new Russian manifesto. It mad• he that Count Nesselrode will have endeavoured to explain the conduct of his imperial muster In a circular despatch In the Russian embassies abroad. Letters f►om St. Petersburg state that Prince /iortschak►dt' has fallen in disgrace, and will be re placed in his command of the Russian army of occu pation in the principalities. On October 17 the Sultan reviewed at Constanti nople 211,1100 men, which were to leave next day for the army at lirserouni. An official declaration of nentralitt from Austria in the conflict between Russia and Turkey is shortly expected to be published. A Tt.t.Eoittrinc 1/Esrarcit published in yesterday's Moniteter, and dated Bucharest the 25111 inMt. , states that two Russian steamers, with eight gun-boats, forced the passage of the Danube the 23rd, and en countered a smart tire from the Turkish fort of Isact cha, situate on the right bank of the river, between Rein and Ismail. The Russians had a lientenant• colonel, three ofileers, and twelve sailors killed, and about fifty wounded. They pretend to have set the fort of lsaeteha on fire. ARVII`Eh FltoM MOLDAVIA Matti that fresh Russian troops are still pouring in and marching to the Danube. THE town of Jaggy has a garritom of HMO Miamian troops. PRECAUTIONARY MEARURES pace been taken to prevent the entrance of Polish travellers into the principalities. THZ AUSTRIAN GOVERNMENT, having aseertaineJ that the cholera had broken out at .lassy, has ex tended the term of quarantine for travellers from the Danubian principalities. IT is reported that at the desire of the Empress of the Erench a general amnesty will he granted to the press on the eceasion of her fete. mi Aoconno to the C G ologne azette, the Emperor Napoleon will certainly visit England should hi.stili ties actually break out in Turkey, in order to favour the entente cordial: , which exists between the two weateru powers, and prow to the t . t ar th a t his attempts at aggression can have no chance o f sue ream in the presence of so intimate an union among the great maritime nations of Europe. A Ruxorn is said to be current in well informeil quarters to the effect that the recent lisit of the King of Belgium to this country is not unconnected with the wish that a note may be drawn np sn‘cepti ble of signature by both Turkey 4111(1 Russia, and consequently calculated to settle the question whi c h now threatens so imminently to disturb the peace of Europe.

TO THE EDITOR Or "nit; ritEss." Dear Sir,—The United States Treasury is reported to be in a very dangerously-plethoric condition. 11,11(NX101. more than they know what to do with weighs down the spirits of their public men 1 have read somewhere that a free-trade tariff is recom mended to that enlightened tuition as the most likely plan for emptying their exchequer, and reliev ing them of that uncomfortable surplus which pro tective duties have burdened them with. is this advice given sincerely, or is it the voice of au enemy urging our simple cousins to a suicidal course ? In %itium ducit culpa• toga si caret arte. There has just been published an authentic account of the trade of France, showing a general increase for the year ending :tuth June, 10543, as compared with the year ending :10th June, 1552, of about 12 per cent. Iler t ludic with the highly-protected Mates of North America has increased by 3,540,000/.; whilst with free Britain the advance has only been 2,7200100/.! In the Times the other day a gentleman was stated to have expresked some satisfaction with the present high price of corn, and he was fiercely found fault with. In the same paper a report was given of the great satisfaction which sonic Free-traders in Devon shire had expressed with the present high prices, which they seemed to attribute to the new system. Were these last correct in their opinions and amiable in their sentiments, or were both wrong in supposing that free trade has led to very free consumption of stocks, resulting in alarm at the prospects of any stoppage in the supplies from Russia and the Princi palities, which last year sent us 2,015,000 quarters of grain ; or are they all equally philanthropic in their rejoicings, now that the wolf has come ? I sin, dear sir, A WOULD-DE CONSISTENT FREE •TIUbER. A MEETING IS to be held at the 111ansion-house on Monday, the 1 th of November, the object of which is to raise a subscription for the erection of a statue to l'rinee Albert, as a national tribute of respect to his Royal Highness for having suggested and organised the Great Exhibition of 1851. THE late residence of the Duke of Buckingham in Pall-mall has been la to the 'arlton Club for I,soo/. till Midsummer, D 455. The tenancy of Bnekingliam house by the club will eoutinue during the alterations which are to be made in their own building. IT is stated that the vacancy on the Scotch Bench, caused by the death of Lord Anderson, will be filled by Mr. Inglis, the Dean of Faculty. Tnr. EARL AM) CoesrEss or ElAilN, since their arrival from Canada, have been on a tour of visits ill Scotland. It is doubtful whether the noble earl wiU resume the government of our American colonies. A New Ent's. Ilmoor for City traffic is in prospect. Extreme inconvenience is sustained daily en account of the crowded state of London bridge and its ap proaches; and it is evident that another bridge is required for the purpose of conveying the enormous traffic of the City to the Surrey side of the water. Southwark-bridge, if free, would take off more than one-third of the traffic, and would be one of the greatest possible reliefs to the metropolis. The bridge cost between 700,000/. and HISi,OOO/., and the proprietor; now offer to sell it for :1110,000/, The Court of Common Couneil has resolved to ascertain by professional inquiry as to the strength and dura bility of the bridge, with a view to its purchase. Tut: Monirlivron or 'rill: SCirrtil PREsIIYTERY having asked that a fast day might be appointed by royal authority, as it national humiliation, "on acetffint of the visitati of the cholera," Lord Palmerston replies that a national fast would not be suitable to the circumstances of the present moment. The Home Secretary says : " The Maker of the Universe has established certain laws of nature Mr the planet in which we live, awl the weal or woe of mnnl,iud depends upon the observance or the neglect of those laws. One of those laws connects health with the absence of those gaseous exhalations which pm. eyed from overcrowded human beings, or from decomposed substances. whether animal or vegetable; and these same laws render sickness the almost inevitable consequence of exposure to those noxious influences. lint it has at the same time pleased Providence to place it within the poser of man to make such arrangements as will prevent or dis perse s u ch exhidations so as to render them harmless; and it is the duty of man to attend to those laws of nature, and to exert the faculties which Providence has thus given I.; man Ca. his own welfare." This reidy has occasioned much remark, and has been termed " unchristian" by the rev. members of the Presbytery. Tut: perpetrator of the late murder at 1% . hitechapel, Mohlis the cooper, was tried at. the )hl Bailey on Thursday. The circumstances under which the crime was committed, and the recovery of the crinti nal from the wounds he inflicted upon himself after cutting the throat of his wife, have very recently ap peared in the reports of the police investigations. A verdict of Guilty was returned, and seuteuce of death pronounced against the culprit. SATURDAY, TAUNTON BOROUGH REGISTRATION.—The result of the revision of the list of voters for this borough proves a considerable gain to the Conservative party, and leaves them in a position to return two members at the next election, the Liberal party, with the whole strength of the Right Hun. Henry Labouchere's in. terest, private as well as public, together with the grossest intimidation, being sufficient only to elect Sir John Ramsdeu with a majority of 5.

A MAN NAMED WILLI %Mb has been stopping at an hotel in Cincinnati who might justly be styled a "wild man." He eats nothing that is cooked, nor chinks anything but water. His meats, potatoes, and all his vegetables, cab bages, turnips, tte., are raw. He alleges that he has not eaten any cooked food for several years, and that any de• viation from his present mode of living would most probably cause his death.

He had fixed on that vessel to take his passage for Sydney, but his mother, having taken a prejudice to the ship, urged him so fervently to give up his desire of going in her that, at the last moment only, he consented. She visited the Dalhousie three times with her son, hoping to overcome her super stitious feelings. On the occasion of her last visit a gentleman signing papers in the cabin, seeing her hesitation, said," Madam, this is a first-rate ship, I have 10,(1007. on hoard, and rest. assured I must think well of the Dalhousie before I would trust so much in her." Much more he argued to per suade her; but Mrs. ',inky left, and immediately went to the Samarang, anti there secured a berth for her son.
