No I.—March of the Allied Armies towards Sebastopol—the drums and trumpets heard in the distance —the English approach the centre—the French on the left and the Turks on the right—and all advance slowly, and by degrees surround the batteries —firing com mences on both sides. No. 2. Bivouac of the French in the Trenches—National Airs heard—Partant pour la Syrie, with double variations for two flutes, performed by Messrs.

The En dan ; there, met by a fearful cross-lire, which ploughs its ranks with death, the gallant soldiers fall by hundreds, but retreat not a step 1 Encouraged by the example of their brave commander —they die like heroes 1 At the Little Sedan a similar fate awaits the French. While this terrific combat is raging around them the Zouaves and the Guard stand firm in the Malakhoff, where the Russians, recover ing from their surprise, rash in serried columns to the charge. Rein forcements continually arrive on both sides, and the conflict becomes fearful. At length a supreme effort is made, and the day is decided. It is night! The flames, which from all parts of the town and bay, spread their lurid light on the neighbouring hills, mingled with the deafening noise of the exploding mines. the roar of the cannon, the whistling of the bullets, the hurtling of the shells, the rattling of the drums, the shrill sound of the trumpets, the ships blown into the air, the cries of the fugitives, and the shouts of the vietors, seem to form an awful fete, given to the conquerors as the climax of this memorable siege. The Russian Retreat —A Fugue.—Pretected by the fearful scene, the Russians, ever obstinate after defeat, retreat to the north side by the celebrated bridge of rafts traversing the whole harbour. Calm is by degrees re-established. Borne up a hill which over looks the burning city, a soldier, mortally wounded, prays his com rades to stay and turn his face towards the scene of destruction ; there, gazing with calm upon the dreadful spectacle, turning to his companions, who watch him with anXety, and by a superhuman effort raising his arms to Heaven, he exclaims, " Adieu! adieu! Sebastopol is ours 1 I die happy. wive la France ! Vive l'Empe reur I" His words are heard, and amidst the ruins resound the stir ring sound of England's immortal Anthem and Partant pour la Syrie.

No longer would they have to "bawl or otherwise risk their lives to get a seat. No longer would angular gentlemen run the risk of being precipitated into the laps of stout dowagers, or stout dowagers run the risk of extinguish ing angular gentlemen. No longer would modest moderation have to be content with half a seat that its neighbour might be unhappy on an area of treble the extent. No longer would you be suffocated with heat, or be pierced with a draught that penetrated your marrow. No longer would an all-pervading odour of fustiness offend your nostrils. No longer would you be set down in the middle of the road some hundred yards or so beyond your destination, and leave behind you a slam of indignation to find at your flank a re turning omnibus you had been unable previously to perceive. Conductors were to be appointed whose duty and interest it would be to consult the safety, convenience, and comfort of their pas sengers ; while a mode of construction and arrange ments were to be adopted that would obviate all the rest. Alas ! for human credulity. The news was too good to be true. If we are to judge by the report of the recent meeting of Omnibus Proprietors, the Trench Company is a creature of the imagina tion—its members nameless, bodiless, and invisi ble. Those who called the meeting appear to have been in a think fog of ignorance and stupidity— to have been dreadfully hoaxed or the clumsiest of promoters. Messrs. °MAY and FOIIMARD were the agents in Paris ; but who the parties were they represented, and who was the agent in Lon don, they were unable, at all events declined, to tell. Never was a body of men brought together to take into consideration a more misty scheme. The explanations were, in fact, an insult to th e eommonest understanding, and laid the parties who called the meeting open to the most un pleasant imputations. Cruel, however, as the disappointment of the public may be, they will be gainers by it. The present system, with its incivility, irregularity, recklessness, and extor tion, is doomed. That which was to have sup- planted it would doubtless have had its advan- ' tages ; but these, in the long run, would have been outbalanced by serious evils. It was a scheme of monopoly, by means of which the public would have been delivered over to a powerful body, which, once established, might have done pretty much as it liked, and defied competition. Now the field is open, and the interest displayed on the subjeot by the public will, in all human pro bability, induce men of capital to enter it. A well-organised system put in operation in the various omnibus routes would put a stop to most of th• evils complained of. Where remonstrances are powerless to remove abuses self-interest is often all-powerful, and one way or ether the public are likely to get what they want. In creased competition and police supervision will do wonders. COURT CIRCVLA..R. WINDSOR, Nov. 16.

It would have maintained at all times a favourable state of exchanges, inasmuch as the exportation of a few tons would, at any moment, have turned the balance in our favour. But the Currency Quacks thought otherwise, and the result was tantamount to the withdrawal of at least two-thirds of the entire amount of bullion in the hands of the Public, or fully thirty millions of sovereigns. It may easily be inferred, from the foregoing simple and incontrovertible statement, that the object of the tamperers with our monetary code was not merely to insure " convertibility" at any moment, but that they desired to render money scarce, so as to increase the wealth of the owners of accumulated and realised property, who might be en abled to command their own terms in their dealings with the industrious classes. Otherwise they would not, with the example of Scotland and Ireland before them, have maintained the injudicious pro hibition of the small-note currency, which was found to be so exceedingly beneficial in the sister kingdoms. There is no extraordinary influence in the climate north of the Tweed or west of St. George's Channel to change the immutable laws of currency and banking, or to render what is universally accepted in two countries, distasteful or inappropriate in the third. But the restrictions were to be carried still further. The specious pretexts for rendering money scarce and dear had not been ex hausted. It was not enough to prohibit notes of the more convenient forms, but they were to be rendered still more difficult of attainment. It was assumed that the Bank Di rectors would abuse any discretion with which they might be entrusted, and that therefore it was essential that there should be "a self-acting regu lator of the currency," which it was assumed would at all times, and under all circumstances, maintain the circulating medium at the same in trinsic value, and avoid the fluctuations which, as Mr. COBDEN has asserted, are more injurious to the trade and commerce of the country than the failure of all the banks of issue that have ever stopped payment ! The intention was mani festly to get rid of a paper currency alto gether, except that based on an actual deposit of bullion, similar to that now practised in Am sterdam. Those whose fortunes had been realised under a paper currency would cut off the chan nels by which new rivals might achieve equal success. It was rather remarkable that the par ties whose names were chiefly associated with the Act of 1844, Sir R. PENS, and Mr. JONES Loon, now Lord OYEBSTONE, were the representatives of immense wealth, honourably realised by their fathers under the superior facilities afforded by a free trade in -money. They were, however, the int to forget the claims of those still struggling in the race for competence, if not wealth, and to procure the very severe restrictions imposed by the Act of 1844, which, as we have repeatedly shown, enhances speculation when money is abun dant and cheap, but paralyses industry when it is scarce and dear. They could not, however, at that time, altogether get rid of a certain amount of " unguaranteed paper." The conse quences would have been too terrible, and they shrunk from the vast responsibility. The first point was to arrest the expansion which would naturally follow the increasing trade and populatiod of the country. An arbitrary sum was fixed which could not under any circumstances be exceeded. This was 14,000,0001., which the Bank of England was authorised to issue against securities, and 8,648,0001., which the various pro vincial Banks were allowed to keep in circulation, that being its average amount for the 12 weeks preceding the 27th April, 1844. This was a sop to the country bankers. It offered a species of monopoly ; but it is highly creditable to the body to state that they opposed, and still oppose, the law so injurious to the country, although person ally advantageous to themselves. It. will easily be perceived that there was not only a limit fixed which could never be exceeded —a ne plus ultra that could not be passed, however great the requirements or de mands of commerce ; but that there should be a gradual contraction, inasmuch as in course of time they would probably cease to issue notes. In that event an illusory and, at best, only a partial sub stitute was provided. The Government /night authorise the Bank of England to issue on senu rities to the extent of two-thirds of the withdrawn notes, but solely on condition that the whole of the profits should be paid to the National Exchequer. Of course the Directors would not increase their trouble and responsibility when all the profit would be transferred to another quarter. The permission is, therefore, of no practical utility. Although 700,000/. have been withdrawn, not an additional note was issued by the Bank of Eng land, nor do we see that the Directors should do so, giving all the proceeds to the Government. A month or two ago it was announced that a French company had entered into a treaty with the omnibus proprietors of London for the pur chase of their vehicles, with the intention of intro ducing the Parisian system among us—a system by which increased facilities of communication, and every attention to the convenience and com fort of passengers, would be insured. The satisfaction with which the announcement was received can best be appreciated by parties who are familiar with the working of the existing sys tem. Those who are compelled for their sins daily to travel backward and forward by omnibus welcomed it much as a distressed mariner would the sight of a peaceful harbour, and at once began to ponder over their special grievances. Some whose exuberance is not favourable to rapid loco motion, others whose nerves are not equal to threading lines of whirring vehicles, and whose footing, under such circumstances, is not secure quivered with indignation as they reflected on the impudent inattention to their signals and the in difference to their specialities and lives manifested by the t r ib e o f conductors. O t h ers, more f avoure d, who c are not for these things, reflected w i t h h ar d ly less bitt erness on the free and easy manner in which they were suffered in general to find their way inside. The door being opened the vehicle themselves off—supp os i ng i t had been pulled up at all —before they got a footin g, y by the exhibition of a skill worthy of a posture-master, an o f l were they daily able tosave d n fall ing backward on the pavement. Others, with feeble lungs, thought with a shiver of the efforts they were compelled to make to have their instruc tions understood. Others strove to recount the num ber of times their expostulations had been met with insolence, and of course gave up the attempt in de spair. All reflected with discontent on extortionate charges, the narrowness of the vehicles, the dif culties experienced and risks encountered in threading their way to, or otherwise getting, a seat, the desagremens the opening or closing o f a window entailed, the wet straw, the dripping neighbour, the flowing umbrella, &c. And all was to be altered, an omnibus millennium was at hand. LATEST NEWS. GREAT VICTORY IN ASIA. DEFEAT OF THE RUSSIANS. We have been favoured by his Excellency the Turkish Minister with the following telegraphic despatch, which was received last night at the Embassy :-- The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Sublime Porte to the Ottoman Minister in London. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nor. 15. On the 6th of November the , forces under the command of Omer Pacha, wailing up to their arm-pits, forced, under a terribV3 fire, the passage of the river Anakara, or Onfluor, in Georgia. The passage of the river was defended by six teen thousand Russians. Our troops attacked the enemy's redoubts with the bayonet, and car ried them in spite of a desperate defence. The Russians were thrown into complete dis order and put to flight. Our troops took five cannons, seven caissons, and forty prisoners. The enemy left more than four hundred dead on the field of battle, amongst which number are two superior and one hundred subaltern officers. Our loss amounts to sixty-eight killed and two hun dred and twenty wounded. [Lord Clarendon's despatch says the action was fought on the sth.] The French Ambassador at Constantinople has just transmitted the following despatch to the Minister of Foreign Affairs :-- PERA, Nor. 14. On the sth Omer Pacha forced the passage of the Ingour. The enemy's army was composed of eight thou sand regular troops, and about twelve thousand Mingrelian and Georgian militia. After a combat of five hours, in which the Russians suffered severely, the Turks crossed the Ingour at four points. The Generalissimo is marching upon Kutais. The following appeared in our late edition yesterday evening : FOREIGN-OFFICE, Nov. 16, 1855. Lord Clarendon presents his complements to the Editor of The Sun, and begs to enclose him a copy of a telegraphic message which has been received this day from Viscount Stratford de Radcliffe : THERAPIA, Nov. 15, 1855. At noon Omer Pacha forded the river Ingour on the sth, at the head of 20,000 men, and de feated the Russians, eomputed at 10,000, includ ing Militia, and partly entrenched. The enemy lost about 400 in killed and wounded, 60 prisoners, and 3 pieces of cannon. The Turkish loss was upwards of 300. The British officers did honour to their country. The Invalide Russ. has the following despatch from Prince Gortschakoff : " CRIMEA, Nov. 5. " The Allies continue to occupy the Valley of Baidar with two divisions. " Nothing more to report from the Crimea." HAMBURG, NOT. 16. Rear-Admiral Penaud has arrived at Kiel, with the Tourville and Duguesne, French line-of-battle ships. KIEL, Nov. 14.

MADRID, Nov. 15 ATe Dewy' is to be sung to-day for the disap pearance of the cholera. Yesterday, in replying to one of the democratic members, Espartero and O'Donnell made declarations very favourable for the monarchy. Everything is going on well at Saragossa. FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY ETENING, The impression produced by the Emperor's speech yesterday, in reply to the address of Prince Napo leon, is, very favourable. The acclamations, the repeated and enthusiastic applause from more than 30,000 people, which interrupted his delivery of it yesterday, from both French and English, was an unmistakeable proof how this spirit went with him in all be said. This time at least there can be no mistake as to the Emperor's reception, and if any doubt existed hitherto on the point a visit to the Exhibition yesterday would have shown how well that extraordinary man knows how to speak to the popular heart and the po pular interests at the same time, and how faith fully he is responded to. Copies of the speech were posted up at the mairies of the arrondisse ments of Paris, and the result is that the effect on the public generally, and particularly on the industrial classes, is most favourable. Its preci sion and clearness strike them forcibly ; they see that the Emperor is not desirous of war for the sake of war, or for the mere lust of conquest or military glory ; that the war has been forced on ' him and his ally ; that it is a war of justice, a war of defence against aggression, and that while he and his ally will not refuse to listen to terms of peace consistent with the honour and dignity of France and England they are determined to persevere until the great object for which they took up arms is ob tained, namely, the tranquillity and independence of Europe. This is the interpretation gen eral l y given to the speech, and there are few who regard details The it as decidedly warlike or decidedly pacific. of the Paris BOURSE, Nov. 16.—The following a re the last quotations : p oe a r p e e m rs on of y of f o- o d lo a e y i o a g re th fi e ll E ed x with os End of Month, Cash. s. 4A per Cents • 90 50 —f. -0. 3 per Cents 64 8 0 64 95 New Loan 6i 7 5 Bank Shares 3180 Boman pt th ion. e Credit Mobilier 1175 Austrian Belgian Fives 63i Spanish Threes 39 Piedmontese ......... 85 Home Debt 334 RAILWAYS-108 CASH. ft. e. e.

VIENNA, Nov. 13.—The Emperor left Trieste yesterday morning, at 8 o'clock, and reached Schonbrunn this morning. The Archduke Ferdi nand Max is going on well. Baron Prokesch ar rived here from Frankfort on the 11th, and will soon go to his post at Constantinople. Count Coronini, the Commander in the Danubian Prin cipalities, arrived here yesterday morning. The Nuremberg Correspondent has learned that Count Coronini was summoned to Vienna by Count Buol, in order that he might be able to give his opinion to his Majesty " relative to what is likely to occur next spring." The meaning of this is, that it is here believed the campaign will be opened next year on the Lower Danube. It is, however, the opinion of scientific Austrian officers that it would be madness for the Allies to attempt anything against Bessarabia and Volhyma until they have obtained possession of the Crimea, and raised all the Caucasian tribes against the Russians. The Po has overflowed its banks, carried away all the pontoon bridges, and inundated the whole of the neighbouring country. The Oesterreichische Zeitung has a letter of the 2d of November from Odessa. The Grand Duke Con stantine has directed all the persons belonging to the Black Sea fleet who suffered losses at Sebastopol to send a conscientious account of them to Nico laieff. When the inhabitants of Oczakoff emigrated they were robbed and ill-treated by the Cossacks, but a complaint having been made to the Emperor the offenders were punished according to mar tial law. The correspondent observes that the ad vice given by the Augsburg Gazette to form strand batteries, armed with long 48 and 50 pounders, is excellent, but unfortunately the Russians have no larger guns than 36 pounders in the neighbourhood of the Black Sea. Last July a park of 48 and 60 pounders was ordered to be cast in Siberia, and the guns, when they arrive, will be mounted at Nico laieff. On the Ist the allied fleets passed Odessa in three divisions. The large ships took the direc tion of Constantinople, but the steamers and gun boats were evidently making the best of their way to Sebastopol. On the Ist a Greek brigantine laden with salt managed to escape the fleet, and ran into the port of Odessa. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Nov. 15.—The Chambers of Nobles and Deputies are convoked for the 29th. For the supplementary elections of Berlin, the choice of the election has fallen on the Librarian Reimer, the Town Counsellor Pock, Town Secretary Bode, Counsellor of the Tribune Sehnert, and the Preii dent Weutzel. At Magdibourg, the Counsellor of Legation, Gronner, has been elected. A letter from Varna of the 12th, in the Cologne Gazette, says :—" Prince Gortschakoff has lately received a letter from his brother, the general, who expresses a hope of being able to hold the Crimea against the Allies during the winter." PREPARATIONS FOR ANOTHER ATTACK BY THE RUSSIANS. The Courrier de Marseilles publishes the follow• ngletter, dated Camp of Inkerman, 30th ult. : ... While the allied armies were only bent on prepar ing for themselves winter cantonments, and every one regarded the campaign as definitively closed, owing to the immovability of the Russians, the report of a proxi mate attack of the enemy began to circulate, and dis turbed the dearly-acquired repose enjoyed by our sol diers. This is not a vague rumour. The advices re ceived by our Generals, the accounts given by the deserters, and the reconnaissances effected close to the very lines of ike enemy fully convince us that the Rue slaw; are about to make a forward movement. They have of late reinforced their bridge equipages and collected on certain points the materiel necessary to convey their artillery across streams and ravines. Those preparations may have two objects in view —either to serve for a retreat or an offensive movement. Opinions are divided in the allied camp, and each party adduces reasons equally admissible. Be this as it may, there is one fact well known to everybody and admitted by all—namely, that fresh troops and divisions of the Imperial Guard have lately joined the army of Prince Gortschakoff. The Russians were hitherto sufficiently strong to maintain and defend with advantage the long line of intrenchments occupied by them, from the north ern fort to the plateaux of the Upper Belbek. Nothing even obliged them to retain their positions to the north of the roadstead. There is consequently every reason to believe that the reinforcements received by the Russian Generalissimo will inspire hi m w ith a d es i re t o re t r i eve the prestige .of his arms by some desperate attempt. The resolution of the enemy is the more probable as the fears he must have entertained for Kher son and Nicolaieff, since the capture of Kinbourn, and which must sooner or later bring to the banks of the Dnieper and the Bong a large portion of his contin gents, impose to a certain degree on Prince Gortscha koff, before he quits the Crimea, the obligation of offer ing battle to his adversaries. Thus the project attri buted to the Russians of directing a new attack upon our lines of the Tchernaya does not indicate that they will not evacuate the Crimea. It is a mere point of honour with them, for they certainly cannot indulge the hope of driving us out of our position. Those different contingencies have not been overlooked by our chiefs, as you may suppose, and, notwithstanding onr anxiety to see the Russians at last descend into the plain, every precaution is taken to guard the army against a surprise. Our intrenched lines from Balaklava to Inkerman are carefully inspected and constantly ex tended and improved by our Engineers. The points easily accessible have been defended by new works, and on every point their armament is truly formidable. This will not prevent us from going to meet the enemy, if he affords us the opportunity, but, as I have already . ' stated, no precaution is neglected. The armament of the new works erected on the Feduikhine heights, command ing the only passage through which the Russians can debauch on the Tchernaya, has fixed the particular at tention of our officers of engineers. The French divi sions are constantly kept on the qui vim. At every moment some engagement between the outposts in duces a belief that the Russians are about to attack us, but hitherto none of their movements have indicated such an intention on their part. The Sar dinian army is perfectly well installed on our left, and equally desirous to, have another brush with the enemy- The English continue to occupy in great force the neighbourhood of Balaklava. There is nothing new at Sebastopol. The Russians and allies cannonade each other across the port, but with little or no effect. The camps of the Russians on the other side resemble mole hills. It is astonishing with what activity they dig the ground. We often ask ourselves if this is not a phan tasmagoria, and what can be the utility of those im mense works, which add nothing to the security of the main army. On our side numerous batteries are being erected, particularly around Fort St. Nicholas. We daily expect our floating batteries from Kinbourn, and with their co-operation we hope to s ilence the Russian batteries which prevent us from taking up our quarters in Sebastopol." The Constantinople correspondence of the Con stitutionnel, dated sth inst., states that considerable alarm prevailed in that capital, in consequence of a collision which had taken place the day before between soldiers of the Tunisian contingent and the French military post estallished in the building of the University, now converted into an hospital. After a scuffle, in which several of their comrades were roughly handled by the French, the Tunisi ans, whose principal barrack is situate in the neigh bourhotxl, marched in a body to the hospital, endeavouring on their way to excite the Turkeh population against the French, and having drawn up before the post they fired a general volley I * l' into it, killing three men and woun di ng severa l I 4- 444 11. Far b t 41 11 others. The French returned the fire, and six of the assailants were killed and a number of others wounded. The Ottoman troops in the meantime interfered, and the Tunisians were brought back to their quarters, where they were consigned. The Seraskier and the Minister of Foreign Affairs im mediately repaired to the spot, at the head of an imposing force, to restore order and ascertain the cause of that aggression. On his side, General Larchey sent thither a detachment of sixty men, stationed at Pera, and gave orders to the troops em camped at Maslak to hold themselves in readiness to march. Fortunately there was no necessity to recur to that extreme measure, and all was over when General Pariset arrived at the University. At the request of the French Ambassador a strict inquiry into the affair was instituted on the even ing of the 4th, and the Tunisian contingent, whose deplorable fanaticism had already occasioned -vari ous affrays, was to be embarked for Asia. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) The following promotion and appointment were made at the Admiralty this day : PROMOTION. Master E. Demsterville to rank of retired commander APPOINTMENT. Master George H. Inskip to the Saracen. SPAIN. MADRID, Nov. 12. A serious state of things has suddenly arisen at Saragossa. The high price of provisions and ex portation of corn by the Ebro was the pretext ; but it would appear that the movement is also of a political character. Soon after the Cortes met to day, and when the routine business had been dis posed of, Senor Huelves, Minister of the Home Department, read two telegraphic despatches from Saragossa, the first of which stated that on the afternoon of yesterday numerous groups cot lected and assumed a riotous attitude, declaring their determination to prevent the departure of several barques, which were going down the Ebro laden with corn, and to burn them. The troops and National Guards were called out, and the popu lace desisted from their intent. The authorities and Corporation met, the latter declaring itself in per manent session. At a late hour of the night every thing seemed quiet. The second despatch, how ever, dated at 9 this morning, says that the crowd had assembled again, that the generate was beating for the order to form in battalions, and that th• result was doubtful ; while another despatch, re ceived by the Government this afternoon, says that General Gurrea, Captain-General of Arragon, is not satisfied that the means at his disposal are sufficient to repress the disturbance. After the Home Minister had made these communications, the Duke de la Victoria rose, and declared that while the Government desired to promote and con solidate the liberty and welfare of the country it was firmly determined to cause the laws to be re spected, and to chastise with rigour whoever opposed them, however numerous they might be, or what ever mask they might assume, which declaration produced considerable sensation. It is said that among the cries given at Saragossa were some di rected against Senor Bruil and General O'Donnell. The Cortes were afterwards occupied with the Con scription Bill, and subsequently with the debates on the new Constitution : many articles of both were carried. The article which gave rise to the difference be- tween Senor Olozaga - and the Ministry has been modified by inserting in its place the corresponding articles of the Constitution of 1837. Nothing more has transpired respecting the question of Senor Olozaga's resignation, which appears to remain in statu quo, though many think that the necessity of the case will cause matters to be amicably arranged n the end. The Saragossa affair is considered vary serious. The funds are rather lower to-day. The Three per Cents. were done, however, during Bolsa hours at 34.30 ; and the Deferred at 20.20. On Thursday last the Emigration Commissioners chartered the ship Earl Grey, for the conveyance of °mi• grants from Southampton to Geelong. The contract price was 141. 16s. 6d. The Commis s ione rs ha v e also advertised for a ship to convey emigrants to Melbourne. —Australian and New Zealand Gazette. The clipper ship White Star sailed from Melbourne on the 30th of August, for Liverpool, She has on board 70 tons of copper ore from South Australia for Birming- ham ; 1,000 bales of wool, rags, sheepskins, &c.; 85,195 ounces of gold dust, and 150 passengers.—Auseralian , and New Zealand Gazette. EMIGRATION FROM LIVERPOOL.—It has been stated in a recent Liverpool paper that Government emigration was about to cease from thence, and that the depot at Birkenhead was to be given up. This is not the case, for we are enabled to state that Mr. De Wolfe, the contrac tor, has renewed an engagement with the Emigration Commissioners to provide accommodation and rations for emigrants at that port until the 30th of June next. We believe, however, that in consequence of the stop page of emigration from Ireland that the numbers likely to embark from Birkenhead will be considerably re duced, and that in consequence the Commissioners have had to submit to an increase in the contract price, which is now at the rate of 3s. per diem, the former charge having been 2s. only.—Australian and New Zealand Gazette. THE CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY AT HACZNEY..... A numerous meeting was held at the Manor Assembly rooms, Church-street on the 15th inst., to receive a deputation from the Executive Committee, to explain the plan of allotment of the recent valuable purchase of an estate in that locality, to be allotted on the 22d inst. The Lord Viscount Ranelagh presided, supported by a deputation from the board, consisting of Colonel Knox, M.P., H. Powaall, Esq., B. H. Adams, Esqs., C. Grunerson, Esq. (the secretary), G. Morgan, Esq. (the surveyor), Rev. T. W. 0. Goodshild (rector of Hackney), the Rev. Dr. Hewlett, the Rev. Alex. Gordon, and some of the principal residents of the neighbourhood. After several addresses in explanation of the objects and suc cessful progress of the society plans of the Hackney estate were exhibited, showingia division of the estate, with nearly 200 lots of freehold land, varying in price from 401. up to 4001., with building conditions well de• signed to secure the erection of a class of houses to im prove as well as to accommodate the neighbourhood. The estate adjoins the parish church of St. John, and is close to the station of the North London Railway. VACANCIES, APPOINTMENTS, AND PROMOTIONS /N THZ CIVIL SERVICE.—Board of Trade : Mr. J. J.

The treaty concerning copyright, concluded between Prussia and Great Britain in June last, has been ratified and officially published in Berlin and in London. This treaty reposes on the same basis as those concluded by the French Government with the majority of German States. A well-known member of the Prussian Chambers, M. de Vincke, elected by the town of Hagen, has not ac cepted his nomination. The following explanations are given by the Post A mpt Gazette of that step. A short time after the election the King passed through Hagen, where he met a very warm reception. He said on that occasion--" This reception gives me the greatest plea sure, proceeding as it does from a town which has elected as deputy to the Chamber one of my enemies." These words determined M. de Vincke to resign. A letter dated the 12th, in the Cologne Gazette, says:— " M. de Prokesch is to visit London before going out to Constantinople. He will proceed to the English capital towards the end of next week. The Emperor has given his approbation to the proposed reduction of 80 men per company in the 2d and 4th corps d i armee now in Gallicia. That m easure w ill e ff ect a saving Of eight millions of florins" (the florin is somewhat over two francs). TABLETS TO THE MEMORY OF THE LATE MARQUIS OF LONDONDERRY AND LADY CATHERINZ STEWAIT.— Yesterday two beautiful mural tablets were erected in Newtownards Episcopal Church by the Most Noble the Marquis of Londonderry, one in memory of his lamented father, the other in remembrance of Lady Catherine Stewart, daughter of John third Earl of Darnley, and wife of General Sir Charles Stewart. The tablets are of statuary marble, on a dove ground, and in the Grecian style of architecture ; and we have no hesitation in ex pressing our conviction that they are among the very finest specimens of designing and cutting which Belfast talent has ever produced in the same department of art. The marble is of remarkable purity, the lettering has been cut with the most artistic accuracy and finish, and the myrtle wreath which ornaments each tablet, and en closes an appropriate symbol of the departed—that of the noble marquis exhibiting a sword and pen in intimate uniorno,aubdth, its ofhat only Lady Catherine Stewart displaying flower falling to the ground—furnishes an admirable illustration of the advance which has recently been made in artistic execution in our town. The tablet to the me mory of the late Marquis of Londonderry bears the fol lowing inscription :—" Sacred to the memory of Charles - w m . Vane, third Marquis of Londonderry, 8.G., G.C.8., eight of St. George of Russia, Knight of the Tower and Sword of P ortugal, and Knight of the Sweiel of Sweden. He was born 18th May, 1776, and died bib March, 1854. His remains are interred in the family vault of the Tempest family at Lang Newtown, in the county of Durham. This tablet is placed here by his son Frederick, fourth Marquis of Londonderry, A.D. 1855." It is due to the public to state that the tablets are the production of Mr. Robinson, of York-street, in whose yard they were elaborated from the rough block into their present highly-finished and attractive form. The Marquis of Londonderry, with a discrimination un happily seldom associated with the nobility of this country, deemed it right and proper thus to patronise native talent ; and we know we are expressing his feel ing when we state that the work has been completed in a style highly creditable to the artists and satisfactory o himself.—Belfa4 Eantter. --- AUSTRIAN NEUTRALITY. v M YSLO WITZ, PRUSSIAN SILE w SIA, Nov.ih Warsaw 1 8.—F sa o i r seve ral days p a st our communication and the other railroad stations on the same line has been interrupted by the immense transports of sulphur sent from Austria by way of Cracow to Warsaw, which accumulate every day to such an extent that the railway station at Granitza finds it impossible to forward them as quickly as they ar rive. Ever since this Prussian frontier station has refused to forward contraband of war to Russia and Poland, arriving from Vienna by the Great Northern Railway, through Oderberg, Ratibor, and Cone, and passing through the narrow strip of Prussian territory, the transports are conveyed only to Leipnick by the railroad, and thence for warded to Cracow on waggons by the old carriage road, whence they are again forwarded by the rail road through Czakowa to Granitza, which causes a complete temporary interruption to regular traffic. Within the last month considerably more than 100,000 cwt. of sulphur have been forwarded in this manner from Austria to Russian Poland, and every day about 600 cwts. of this article continuo to arrive, packed partly in chests and partly in casks. Arricts.—The great activity in the mining market which we noticed last week has rather increased than otherwise, and the official list shows a larger a mount of business transacted this week than in any other since the establishment of the Mining Exchange. United Mines shares havo been in demand, at 280 ; a great im provement has taken place in the mines. Sortridge Console have receded considerably, and without much apparent cause.
