Sun Office, 112, S',ran(l. 1 1.?,;i 1 , LONDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1856. Were we to judge from appearances Russia must have come triumphantly out of the Eastern difficulty. She is already exhibiting a degree of arrogance and insolence that could only be antici• pated from a Conqueror —one who, in the pleni tude of power, could afford to be indulgent, r.nd Gould issue her ukases to nations who had learned from bitter experience the absolute necessity of submission, and the impossibility of resisting any resolution at which she had arrived. This is the return which the Western States have received for their extraordinary forbearance in permitting her to escape the penal consequences of former aggressions. She is still to all intents and purposes the same as she has ever been, and it requires no extraordinary amount of pre science to know that all the sacrifice s of men and money to check her aggressive spirit have been worse than useless. We may be told that these demonstrations have been merely intended to operate on Muscovite feelings ; that it would not answer for the AUTO CRAT, at the time of his coronation, to exhibit the slightest symptom of defeat ; and that the high tone manifested in the despatch relative to any interference in Neapolitan matters is merely in tended for his own subjects ! A pettifogging distinction between circulars to diplomatic agents and remonstrances to other Governments has been suggested. But we cannot place much credence on these fine-drawn arguments. We look to acts rather than words. But when both say. i ngg and doings point in the same direction, it is time for those assailed by the "double -barrel" to l oo k to their own security, and to see that the actua l menaces are not carried into practical exesution. „ The I s l e of Serpents” has already afforded very decided warning as to Russian intentions. The Proceeding's in reference to the new boun daries, or, more pro p er ly spea k in g , gi the rectifi to Kars, and I sma il , cation of the frontiers," and Reni, gav e f re sh lessons of caution. They proved that the Clan was already desirous of evading the obligations imposed by the Traaty of Paris, and that he would only respec t the stipulations contained therein, e o l en , as it m i g ht prove conve nient to do so. But they evidence th a t must :is further corroborative convince the most sceptical. The Cabinet o f S t.

T nts he that ear nestness with which th e Russian Governree nt has entered into the sp ecu l a ti on may be estimate from the fact, that subsidies, to the amount of between X O O ,OOOI. and 500,000/ . per annum, have been already granted for the furtherance of the project—the line to Alexandria—passing through the Dardanelles alone receiving 50,0001. per annum, besides other privileges. The shares already command 10 premium. A matter quite sufficient to direct the eyes of English capitalists in the desired direction. It is needless to say that this is a palpable vio lation of the Treaty so improvidently concluded last April. Some of the projected lines could not by any possibility pay the mere working expenses, to say nothing of a dividend on the capital in vested therein, nor is there any legitimate object that could induce the CZAR to pay such enormous subsidies to the shareholders. It is manifestly an ingenious device to procure vessels that can be converted at a brief notice into an effective navy that could more than match the limited force allowed to the Allied Powers. This decided effort to counteract, or rather to break through, the Treaty so recently entered into, should be promptly and decidedly met. That which could not be directly done should not be tolerated in an underhand manner. Russia is striving to procure English and French capital to construct long lines of military railways. She is now endeavouring to procure a Black Sea Fleet in the same manner, and it is surely time that the Governments, which have al ready submitted to such enormous sacrifices to check her aggressive propensities, should interfere before they are made " laughing-stocks" in the eyes of Europe. A determined attitude, in the first instance, ►ill be all that is required, and it will save a much greater expenditure in the long The numerous cases of poisoning, intentionally or by mistake, which have recently attracted public attention, lead to the inquiry whether the Legislature may not interpose regulations on the sale of poisons, in order to the protection of the community. The subject is one of great import ance, and to be dealt with effectually must not be approached under the influence of panic, nor without due consideration of the many difficulties connected with it. Sweeping measures are gene rally ineffective or injurious measures, and no in terference with the freedom of trade can noway days, with any show of propriety, be permitted, unless it can be clearly demonstrated that the purpose is so sacred as imperatively to call for it, and such interference is likely to accomplish that purpose to some appreciable extent. Moreover, it must extend no further than is absolutely neces sary, and in doing away with or diminishing one source of danger another, or others, must not lie produced of an equal or superior magnitude. At the outset, it must further be remarked, no legislation whatever can possibly prevent access to mineral poisons by a large class of the community —such poisons being largely used in the arts, and to a less extent by the agricultural community ; besides which, it may be asked, where is the house without its copper utensil ? Neither can any !egislation prevent access to vegetable poisons, which are of British growth. Further, no legis lation can protect the suffering patient wholly from accidents in the preparation and administration 3f drugs, to say nothing of errors of judgment and design, so long as human nature continues as it is. And here we cannot refrain from advert ing to what most painfully struck us in connection with the case of PALMBR, vi.., the startling proof the evidence afforded of his adoption of a subtle and deadly policy, to which a regard for the pub• lic prevents us from further alluding than by saying the exhibition of strychnine was, in all oroba.bility, the result of impatience, and foreign to his original design. We all knew how his brother died ; and if PA.LNIER sought his death, Qie difference of means was not identical with ,a difference of principle in the adoption of them. nipossiOnity to winch we have already adverted, vie., of securing immunity from poisoning for the public. The propriety of moderation in dealing with the subject being thus plainly indicted, we come a consideration of the poisons against which a special guard would seem to be required. These are of an active class; and, as the reader is aware, include the following—arsenic, cor rosive sublimate, tartar emetic, prussic acid, opium, nux vomica, hellebore, ac., and prepara tions from them, such as black drop, laudanum, morphia, strychnia, veratria, &c. Arsenic is used in solution for rheumatism, for the destruction of bugs, and by farmers for steeping their wheat, to preserve it from the worm, during germina.tiou, as well as by others, for purposes of art, as bird staffing, and colour making. It is also used in farriery, and for poisoning vermin. Corrosive sublimate is a favourite remedy in certain cas,s, and is largely employed in the preservation of wood, dsc. Tartar emetic is used as an emetic, and can better be depended on than ipecacuanha for a speedy evacuation of the contents of the stomach. Opium is largely used in bulk—the quantities taken by individuals in Lincolnshire would hardly be credited, and to those who are addicted to its use the supply is almost esseutia, tb existence. Laudanum is recognised as a valu able household drug, of great and immediate ser vice in many cases. Nux vomica is used for poi , soning rats, hellebore for diseases of the skin in dogs. As for prussic acid, morphia, and drugs of such intensely poisonous nature, the use of them is almost exclusively confined, as it should be altogether, to the medical profession and druggists, who ap portion the doses taken by the patient. For the 'ale of these, in bulk, to private individuals, there can be neither necessity nor excuse, and it should be prohibited under penalty. The parties who sell poisons are manufacturers and wholesale druggists, apothecaries, chemists and druggists, and grocers, and other dealers, who sell drugs. The way in which drugs have fallen into the hands of the latter has been partly the want of druggists in particular localities— we know many villages where there is no druggis —and partly the excessive profits demanded on ;he sale of drugs of a harmless description and in general request, just as the expense of medical attendance has led to advice and medicines being given by the druggist. The question for con sideration now is What ought to be done ? The sale of poisons must go on. Prohibition is out of the question. Shall none be permitted to sell any drugs or chemicals of this character but members of Apothecaries' Hall and of the P:aa,r maceutical Society ? To say nothing of the ab surdity and intolerable tyranny involved in such a measure, we have surely had enough of mono poly —even here the public having, in all proba bility, paid more, in life and health, because of the practical monopoly, which until of late ycar3 was enjoyed by the apothecary and druggist, than there is the least chance of their doing by acci dental or designed poisoning. It i 3 quite as bad to die for want of drugs you have not the means to purchase as by drugs you h ave ; and th e p u bli c must look to it, or the hubbaboo about poisons will lead to the establishment of a monopoly for which they will be severely mulcted. What, then, can be done? the reader may somewhat acxiously7 inquire. A thoughtful consideration of the subject leads us to the conviction —but little, with a beneficial effect. The manufacturer and wholesale druggist, we suppose, are already amenable, and, if they are not, should be made so, for want of care in supplying the parti- cular article asked for. The apothecary and druggist should be compelled under penalty to exercise a reasonable discretion in the sale of poisonous drugs in daily use—refusing them to individuals ignorant of their properties, to chil dren, and to any asking for them under suspicious circumstances. Where the sale can be effected with apparent propriety, the apothecary or druggist should be compelled under penalty to label the article, whether in parcel, bottle, or jar, correctly, with the word " Poison," in large letters, and in the most conspicuous position. Further, the sale of arsenic —indeed, any poison—in dangerous bulk should be registered by the seller in a book kept for the purpose, and accessible to superin tendents of police on a magistrate's order—.the re gistration describing the name of the purchaser, the date of purchase, and the motive advanced by the buyer for wanting the article sold. Where "raw" apprentices, or other incompetent persons, occasion death by their ignorance, the principal should be held responsible. Women, by the way, are not necessarily incompetent, as manya town and country surgeon or druggist's wife or sister's expo rienoe would prove. Nor is a surgeon or master druggist necessarily the most reliable dispenser. Intelligent young men and grown women have sometimes shown a great aptitude that way, and may be relied on in ordinary cases. In no case should anything of a poisonous nature be sold in a cup or in any vehicle not admitting of the label " Poison" being conspicuously placed, so as to attract the eye—or likely to be used for ordinary purposes by any member of an ordinary household. As for the grocer or other trader selling drugs, in country or out-of-the-way places, it might be well if one or more of the medical profession and of the body of regular druggists in the district should furnish the intended seller with testimonials as to his fitness to retail medicines in common use, and, armed with these, he could apply for the permission of the magistrate, who should be compelled to grant it if the testimonials be satisfactory. We merely throw this out to be canvassed by those who understand the subject. In no case should he b© permitted to dispense arsenic or any drug or chemical used as poison of a like virulent nature, and an observance of the same regulations as those followed by the apothecary and druggist with regard to the sale of needful drugs of a poisonous nature must be demanded from him. Such appears to us to be the outline of what can be done by legislation for the protection of the subject against poison with effect. Despotic legislation would infallibly defeat its object, nay, occasion more mischief than it was intended to prevent. A system of penalties for neglect of due precautions in the dispensing of poisons, if neither over nor under rigorous, but invariably put in force, would, we are certain, be produc tive of marked beneficial results. ROYAL CREMORNE GARDEYS. MR. ADAMS'S BENEFIT. The special entertainments of the season at this de lightful resort were on Thursday night brought to a termination in a manner every way calculated to main tain the high character they have far so long a period enjoyed. This was the last grand fete of the season, and the performances were for the benefit of Mr. Adams, the indefatigable secretary, for whose invariable cour tesy and attention in those matters pertaining to his particular jurisdiction the public are so much indebted. It was the first benefit of the kind that Mr. Adams has had at these gardens, notwithstanding the long period he has filled his present appointment, avid the manner in which he was supported bore ample testimony to the high estimation with which he is regarled by all who know bias. The programme was of the most libera description, and in the musical department this obser va tion was especially applicable. Some concerted u.l T we say that Miss Poole, Mr. Bathurst, and Mr. llooke, together with Miss Seyfried, sang some of their favourite songs in their best style, we need scarcely add that the whJle was received with groat applause. The fire works of the Chevalier Mortram fitly closed the scene, displayin9: iri pyrotechnic colours E. M. Adams's thanks, and the 1856 season of Cremorne expired in a blaze o glory and a storm of applause. ecea The Vigilance Committee of San Francisco, the New Cork Herald informs us, has been declared an illegal body, and its president, William Coleman, has been arrested. The woman•flogging business has not yet been settled by the guardians of the poor at Marylebone. The Poar law B qi.rd has called upon the master of the workhouse to reign ; he has refused to do so ; and at the meeting yesterday it was ordered that the request be takeu into conkderation at a special court to be held for the purpose. Yesterday Mr. Hale was elected Alderman of man-street Ward, in the place of the late Alderman Hunter. A man undergoing penal servitude on board the Defence hulk, off Woolwich, yesterday attempted to escape, but he was recaptured. He mixed with the labourers at breakfast-time, and passed through the gates He was recaptured in a short time after. Robson, the person charged with defrauding the Crys tal Palace Company, and for whose apprehension 2501, has been offered, is still at large. The police, up to last night, had not discovered his hiding -place. "It is stated," says the Malta Mail, " that Commis sary-General Smyth, C. 8., is appointed to replace Com missary -General Wyld in this island. The departure of this latter estimable gentleman will, we are sure, be ge-. nerally regretted." General Narvaez, whose arrival at Bayonne has been already announced, was to leave that place yesterday for Spain. We are informed that he will proceed by easy stages to Madrid, where his friends are anxiously waiting his presen ce . Thellfoniteur Algerien, of the 25th ult., contains some further account of the operations of the expedition against the Kabyles. After the successes obtained on the 12th and following days several sheiks sent in their submission. PRINCE OSCAR OF SWEDEN.—The Royal family of Sweden (say the Cologne Gazette) is about to contract an alliance with the ducal family of Nassau. The marriage of Prince (hear, second son of the King of Sweden, born in 1829, with Princess Sophie, born in 1836, t h e youngest sister of the reig n i ng Duke of Nassau, has been determined on. The Courrier of Marseilles says :—"A party of from ten to twelve English sailors made an irruption two nights back into a tobacco-shop here, and after having extinguished the gas laid hold of a number of merechaum pipes, and then made off. Not one of them has been arrested." Rear-Admiral Count de Gueydon has been appointed to the command of the French squadron on the station of the Antilles and the Gulf of Mexico. He will hoist hI fin on board the Cleopatra frigate. Nrarehal Pelissier left Paris the day before yesterday for Clormont. Count de Benkendorff, who is charged to convey to Queen Isabella an autograph letter from the Czar, has arrived in Parifi on his way to Madrid. Mr. Mason, the American minister, has returned to Paris from England. SUICIDE BY OXALIC AClD.—Mary Ann Hill, the wife of a lighterman, yesterday poisoned herself by taking a quantity of oxalic acid. The deceased was a very in- temperate woman. FLIGHT OP A SOLICITOB;—A Nor wich solicitor has lately fled the city, leaving behind him liabilities, prin cipally in the shape of bills to the amount of 2,0001. It is believed that the party, who was in a fair way of busi ness, has left the country, and proceeded either to Australia or to the United States. PEEL PARK, BRADFORD.—The very pleasing duty, says the Bradford Observer, devolves upon us this week of announcing the payment of the two subscriptions o 2,000/. to this object, by Mr. Salt and Messrs. Mil• ligan, Forbes, and Co., and of 2501. by Mr. Wm. Rand. These subscriptions were contingent upon the raising of 8,000/. towards the object, and although the fact is not officially announced, we assume the payment of these amounts to mean that the said sum has been realised. We congratulate all parties upon this result. MINES.—The business tranbacted in mining shares this week has been of a more extended character than or some time past, though prices in some instances. h ave been fluctuating and uncertain. The safest principle to act upon in mining investments, that of laying out a small amount in seine half dozen or dozen well selected mines, instead of confining pur chases to any one in particular, seems to be more gene rally adopted, especially by new parties to the market. Great Alfred shares have again fluctuated very much, various opinions being circulated respecting the mine, each party supporting his O. The opinions, how ever, of the best practical agents, and those most to be relied upon, are decidedly favourable.—Mining of this day, Journal THE SUN, VON DON, SATITRID'AY EVENINtit [OCTOBEIt 4, 18!5 6 LATEST NEWS.

A letter from Vienna of the 28th ult., in the Weser Gazette, says ; " Austria has made a last attempt to prevent the armed intervention of the Western Powers at Naples. A telegraphic despatch sent from Vienna to Paris has, it is said, suspended the execution of the resolutions previously come to. The result of the mission with which General de Martini, the Austrian Am. bassador at Naples, has been charged, will be waited for. That envoy was the bearer of a friendly ultimatum from Austria, again pointing out to the King of the Two Sicilies the dangers to which he was exposing himself. M. de Martini was at the same time to deliver to King Ferdi nand an autograph letter from the Emperor Francis Joseph, in which he is implored, in the name of the bands of relationship which exist between the two Courts, not to draw down incal culable misfortunes, not only on Naples, bat on the whole of Italy." Another letter from Vienna, in the Bourse Ga fiette of Berlin, says :—" We learn from good authority that the mission of Baron de Hubner has not completely failed. It has been owing to him that a change of system has been promised to the Western Powers, which will probably induce them to suspend ulterior proceedings. Gen. de Martini will, it is to be hoped, be able to com plete what Baron de Hubner has commenced." The Dresden Gazette states that it has been informed from Paris that the views of the French Government relative to the affairs of Naples are essentially changed, and that probably the fleet will not leave. The Paris correspondent of the Times (second edition) says : " A Council of Ministers was held this day at St. Cloud. Nothing, of course, has as yet trans pired, and we are ignorant as to what line of con duct, if any, has been determined on. It is sur mised, from the English and Neapolitan Ambas sadors having attended at the Palace, that an arrangement of the Neapolitan question is not even now to be despaired of." The Italian correspondent of the Times (second edition) says— " Everything up to the present moment (Sept. 29) indicates the most determined resistance on the part of the King of Naples to all demands or remonstrances. A commission, headed by Colonel Agostini, examined on the 24th the marine forts near Naples, more particularly those of the military port, the Molo, and the Castello del Novo. Those of the military port and of the Castello were pronounced much out of order, while those of the Molo required only a readjustment of their guns. The land forces are being much increased at Gaeta, whether, as I have already informed you, cavalry had been or dered. The force concentrated there is 10,000 mtn ; nor does his Majesty neglect to seek the protection of the Saints in Heaven, it being narrated by a reliable authority that on the 18th and 20th a friar of Santa Lucia and the Senora Serafina, a woman reported to be of a good by their Majesties. Baron trubner, before leaving, requested the Austrian Consul to publish very extensively a denial of his having come hero on any special mission. It is added that in one of the real objects of his coming here he has suc ceeded—in removing, that is to say, all un pleasantness of feelingexisting between the regular accredited Minister and this Court. "On the arrival of the allied fleet at Naples, orders have been given to put the city in a state of Beige." THE POLITICAL TRIALS. NApLBs, Sept. 29.—The disgraceful political trial which has been for so many months drag ging its slow length along, has this week made considerable advances, and though no act of illegality, no assumption of power could ever astonish a Neapolitan, yet every one is thunder struck at the imprudence which the Government has displayed. On Tuesday, Captain Acuti was re-examined. On Wednesday, the Attorney- General resumed his Requisitorio, and concluded it on Friday, the 26th inst., with demanding the punishment of death for four ; 25 years in irons for two ; reclusion for two ; and acquittal for three. M. Longo commenced, as one of the advocates for the defence, an eloquent speech on the conclusion of the Requisitorio, in which, as it appeared to me, that assuming a certain degree of culpability, he argued that it had existed in thought only—it had been simply concertato, not carried out—had never sprung into life—was not a conspiracyaccording to the terms of the Neapolitan code, and could not therefore be visited with the punishment assigned to it by the Attorney-General. On Saturday, the 27th, there was another court held, and two of the counsel for the defence spoke. THE BALTIC. H4.M.BURG, Oct. 1.--His Imperial Highness Prince Napoleon arrived in our city from Copenhagen on the afternoon of the 29th ultimo, and took up his quarters at the Victor ia Hotel. The Prince came by way of Kiel, leav ing the Reine Hortense steam corvette to proceed round the Skaw to Glifickstadt, in the Elbe, to receive him on board after he has seen all ho desires in Hamburg, where he will remain a few days for this purpose in as quiet a manner as pos sible. Excepting the French Resident and the ' French Consul at Altona, the Prince has hitherto received no public visits, nor does he appear much inclined to have formal ones paid him. M. von Scheele has received from the King of Sweden the order of a Knight of the Seraphim. From Christiania we learn that the Viceroy of Norway arrived on the evening of the 23d ult., on board of the No rnen s t eam corvette, in th a t c it y, on his return from Copenhagen, and was received on landing with the most enthusiastic cheers by the population assembled. The Prince is a very great favourite among the Norwegians, and, by his kind and modest behaviour, is daily gaining great confidence and popularity in his office. FRANC E.. PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. The Monit eur oft -day publishes the followin : "The Emp eror , the Empress, and the Prin c e Imperial arrived at Paris yesterday eveaing at eight o'clock in perfect health.

Prince Ghika has named M. Domitch member for Moldavia of the international commission for the navigation of the Danube. The Cabinet of Stutgadhas nominated M. Muller, councillor of the government, to a similar post for Wurtemberg. A letter from Vienna of the 28th ult., in the Debats, says : " It is well known that notes have been exchanged at different times between the Austrian government and the four other great powers on the subject of the pro longed occupation of Moldavia by the Austrian troops. The period at which they will completely evacuate that province still appears to be distant. Every arrangement has been made for their continuance there, if not dur ing the whole of the summer of 1857, at least until next spring. The intention of the government on this subject is evident, from an order lately given by the war depart ment to renew contracts for the supply of forage and all kinds of provisions for the army of occupation during the next winter. It would be difficult to form any idea of the important results accruing to Austrian commerce from this prolonged occupation of the Danubian principalities ; and there is no doubt that it will be maintained so long as any plausible motive can be found for so doing. There are in those provinces nearly four millions of in habitants who are clothed from head to foot with articles looming from the Austrian manufactories. The Austrian merchants have also enjoyed the privilege, since the end of 1853, of introducing by land, and by the numerous steamers which ply on the Danube, immense quantities of wine, spirits, and other Austrian produce. No sur prise can therefore be felt at Austria wishing to retain this valuable market as long as possible, and it cannot be closed to the Austrian manufacturers, or opened to the competition of foreign productions, until the day when the Principalities shall have been completely evacuated by the Austrian troops." AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE ARABIA. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY. This day at 6.30 a.m., the British and North American Royal mail steam-ship Arabia, Captain Stone, arrived off Point Lynas. She is expected in the river about mid-day. She was to leave Boston on the 24th ult. SOUTHAMPTON, 00T. 3.

A proclamation was issued same day, ordering that the volunteer militia be dis charged, and commanding that all armed bodies of men should disband themselves or quit at once the territory. Yellow fever continued at Charleston. Sixteen deaths are repprted to have occurred during the week ending September 19. 1 Th© first new rice of the .season made its appearance in Clarleston market on the 15th ult. ; it waa of excel hilt quality. With reference to the reported difficulties between Great Britain and Mexico the Herald says : " Some time since we published accounts from Mexico, stating that the difficulties between that Republic and the Spanish GovernMent had been settled by the Spanish Minister, who had made concessions to President Comon fort. The last news from Spain informs us that when this news reached Madrid the O'Donnell Cabinet worked itself into a high state of indignation. The Minister to Mexico (Alvarez) has been recalled, and his whole action dis avowed by his Government, so that matters are pnt in the same position which they previously occupied, only that they look a little worse for Mexico. We learned by tele graph yesterday that the British Minister to the Mexican Government had had trouble with the Comonfort Govern ment. He demanded his passports, and sent a courier to Havannah to order the West Indian fleet to Vera Cruz in order to enforce the compliance of the Government with his demands, with the nature of which we are unacquainted. The present Government of Mexico is not popular in Eu rope, and we soon expect to hear that France has followed the lead of England and Spain, and that Mexico will be in voi vdd in an imbroglio which may result in the most serious consequences.' In the New York money-market money continued easy, and was freely offered at 7 per cent. on call. First class paper sold without difficulty at 8 to 9 per cent. fur short, and 9 to 10 for long dates. The demand for foreig n exchanges was quite active, especially for London, Ham- The supply generally was not l arge , burg, and Bremen. but there was no scarcity of francs, which were rather neglected. The tendency of the market was firm. Bankers' sienatures at 60 days' sight, on London, were quoted 102,1 to 1091 ; Paris and Antwerp, 5•16.1 to 5 . 15 ; Am sterdam, 411 2 • Berlin, Leipsic, and Cologne, 72 to 7•21 ; Frankfort, 41g ; Hamburg, 36/ to 36i ; Bremen, 79 to 79k. The stock-market continued active, and speculation in railroad shares was brisk. The sales of cotton on the 19th ult. embraced about 800 to 1,0130 bales, the market *losing firm at an advance of ic., owing to the favour- able news received by the Asia. Flour was irregular ; common grades were rather scarce and without change of moment in prices, while medium grades and low extras were in some cases from 10 to 20 cents per barrel lower. Winat was dull and lower, common to good red having been sold at 147 to 150 cents, and good to choice southern and western white at 158 to 163 cents, and a choice lot of Canadian at 164 cents. Corn sold at 65 to 67 cents for sound western mixed. Pork was firm at $2O 374 c. for mess on the spot, and 500 barrels sold,;de liverable this month, seller's option, at $2O 25c. Sugars were firm and active, with sales of 1,800 hhds. and 800 boxes, at full prices. Coffee was firm, with sales of 1,600 bags Rio and 1,400 mats Java. Grain to Liverpool was firmer, with engagements in bulk and bags at 83d. to 9d, THE PENINSULAR MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY MORNING. One of the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ships, with the mails from Gibraltar, Cadiz, Lisbon, Oporto, an d Vi go , h as arr i ve d i n the river. SPECIE.—The shipments of specie by the Peninsular and Oriental steamer Pera amount to 778,7631., of whi c h 3,7131. is gold for Alexandria, Ceylon, Madras, and Singapore, and 775,0501. silver for Bombay, Calcutta, Penang, Singapore, Hong-Kong, Canton, and Shanghai. The Paris letters, with scarcely an exception, affirm that a repo r t h as ga i ne d cre d ence o f i ts being the inten tion of Government to issue a decree for the suspension of specie payments by the Bank of France. The drain, notwithstanding all the arrivals of gold and silver that take place, is said to be proceeding at a greatly in creased rate ; but, if this is the case, it may probably be attributed to the hoarding caused by mischievous re perts such as that now in circulation. It is not be lieved in London that the French Government can have entertained the idea imputed to them. DELAY OP THE INDIAN MAILS AT MARSEILLES.-- Mr. Fleming, the secretary of the Manchester Commer cial Association, has received the following reply from the Postmaster-General, to a letter on the subject of the delay of Indian mails at Marseilles :—General Post office, Oct. 2, 1856. Sir,—With leferenco to your letter of the 18th ult., on the subject of the de.ay, at Mar seilles, of the mails from India, which arrived at that port on the 11th ult., I am directed by the Postmaster- Gs - neral to acquaint you that the arrangements for the conveyance of the Indian mails, through France, rest with the French Post -office, His Grace has on former occasions called the attention of the Director-General of that office to the delay which sometimes occurs in the transmission of those mails from Marseilles, and he will do so again, in reference to the delay which took phase on this occasion. I Am, Sir, your obedient humble es vant, J, TILLY." RUSSIAN CORONATION FETES. MOSCOW, SEPT 23. THE DINNER TO THE PEOPLE AND "THE ACCIDENT." The rain utterly destroyed the effect of the very curious and almost grand spectacle of the dinner given by the Emperor to 200,000 people, though it must be admitted that, so far as the spectators were concerned, they would have deprived them of the pleasure of seeing so many mouths filled at once had they acted on a fine day as they did last Saturday. It was not the police chief, but a stupid artisan, who caused the fatal and pre mature onslaught npon the victuals. The Czar was much displeased when he heard of the mistake but he displayed that command over his f ee li ngs for which he is remark able, and in which he presents a contrast to his late father, and very sensibly rem ar k e d th at as it was done it could not be helped. The reason assigned to me for this extraordinary contretemps by a Russian officer of rank was as fol. lows :—lt all arose out of a "signal"--that never-failing source of disaster, and error, and confusion. It appears that the laissea oiler was to have been given to the people by the hoisting of a white flag on the flagstaff of the pavilion occupied by the Emperor, and that this was to have been done by the order of his Majesty, to let the multitude know they might fall on the feast in his presence, The luckless chef do police, on whom so much reprobation has already fallen, took it into his unhappy head to experiment with the feelings, passions, organs, and emotions of about half a million of people ; he wanted to see if the flag halyards were " all right," and to that end he very wisely gave the order to haul away, and up went the white flag and the double-headed black eagle thereupon fluttering aloft to the top of the pole. Now, it is likely that the *AV was quite prepared for its not going up, but it is certain he was utterly unprepared for the contingency of its elevation. The flag, the cyno sure of hundreds of thousands of hungry eyes, had not well flown clear out from the staff ere, with a growl of de light, and with a simultaneous spring like that of some hungry monster, the myriads rushed on the tables, and in the twinkling of an eye sheep, sausages, hams, bread, beef, fowls, fruit—ay, even the platters, dishes, plates, trees, tubs, wooden spoons, and some of the very tables themselves, were swallowed in that mighty maw, and had disappeared for ever. The flag was seen by all the world, but few indeed beheld the unhappy police master, who in unspeakable affright and consternation ordered the people to stop, shouted to his emissaries, sent orders to distant Cossacks, an d h a d th e fl ag jerked down again in all haste. The mischief was done—the feast was gone. As well might the Cossacks hope to keep out the tide with their lances as strive to break the human flood which raged round the remnants of the banquet. These remnants were only bits of wood, fragments of traa.., and pieces of the stands on which the sheep bad been impaled and from which sausages and fowls had depended. The waters dammed up so long were irresistible when the dam had once given way. The immense mass of human beings who, restrained by their feelings of loyalty and obedi ence to the Emperor, and by the fear of the lance of the Cossack, had tranquilly waited through hours of rain and storm for the sluices to be opened, had burst forth, and "all the King's horses and all the Ki ng ' s men could not get them back again," or undo the work they had performed with such prodigious celerity. One could form some notion of the way in which the pyramids were built by seeing the way in which 5,000 sheep and many tons' weight of meat and bread and massive tables and woodwork were all gobbled up, secreted, or carried off by this " little dinner party." It is true we did not see it, for the programme fixed it for 12.30, and the proceeding took place before 10 o'clock, and there was nothing to gaze at of all we had come to see. The "people's" dinner cost 350,000 silver roubles. THE EAL BASQUE AT THE KREXLIN. The bal masque for the people took place on Thursday night at the Palace of the Kremlin. About 20,000 per. sons were present. That is a literal fact, but it must not be supposed that because it was called bal masque in French, or maskerad in Russian, that there was either dancing or masques. It was a dense and silent mob, of all ages and conditions, within five of the large s t salons in the world. The alls of St. George, St. Vla diinir, and St. Andrew, and the Salle Alexandre were brilliantly illuminated ; in the last alone there were more than 2,000 wax lights burning, in richly gilt can delabra, and the other halls were illuminated with a similar profuseness and splendour. It was not yet 9 o'clock when we entered the palace by one of the private doors, and, passing, through long galleries, cor ridors, passages, conservatories, filled with pictures, statuary, plants, and flowers, and lined with a magnificent valitaille and detachments of the Che valier Guard and of the Grenadiers of the Court, de• bouched into the space in front of the thrones,. which was reserved for the diplomatic circle, the Ministers of State, the officers of rank, and strangers invited to at tend. A barrier about three feet was thrown across the hall, at the distance of seven or eight yards from the foot of the thrones, which were just the same as we saw them on the day of the coronation, and outside this bar rier there was a dense mass of human beings, whose heads and faces tapered away in long perspective to the end of the hall, and were again visible through the arch in the hall below, till they were at last lost in the haze. Merchants' wives and daughters, the families of the in ferior employjs, those of the lower order of nobility, the shopkeepers, the stall-owners, the servants, the mujiks, the very droschky drivers were all there, packed as close as they could be, all looking towards the thrones, or trying in vain to get a glimpse at the reserved paral lelogram, in which a very brilliant crowd of gentle men and ladies, in full uniform, were already awaiting the arrival of the Emperor. Lord and Lady (-1-- vilte, ct Wodehouse, M. de Morny, Rnal a host of generals blazing with .rders, chatioguirsbal -.er e In this magic square, which was kept In order by the Chatnho,-1.1.. of the Court, all in their magnificent State uniforms. The negroes of the Court brought round from time to time trays of ices. A splendid supper for 1,500 guests was served. THE BALL OP THE NOBLESSE. The ball of the noblesse of Moscow also took place in their splendid mansion on Thursday night, and was at tended by 3,000 persons of the best families in Russia. Although each government has its own nobility, to Moscow belongs the privilege of calling that of its government the Nobility of Russia, as they belong to the oldeib races and to the old:capital .f the osuntrys The whole of the fine building in which the ball took place was fitted up with great taste and richness. The exterior was brilliantly illuminated with coloured oil lamps, and threw a rich light on the mass of people assembled in the square and on the helmets of the mounted Gendarmerie who kept the way clear. The entrance was guarded by a detachment of ' Grenadiers of the Guard, and the large double staircase leading to the ball-room was lined with rare plants and flowers. The Marshal of the Nobility and Countess Zacrefsky, the wife of the Governor of Moscow, received the company. In the ante-chamber of the first salon a guard of honour of the Paulovski Regiment—they of the rotroussez noses and moustaches —were stationed. The saloons, which are adorned by portraits of the Em press Catherine, of the late Czar, and of many of the Imperial family, and of the great nobility, are sufficiently spacious and handsome ; but the sallo de dense is one of the finest apartments I have ever seen—all white marble, exceedingly lofty, chaste, and well proportioned. At one extremity the thrones were placed, under a dais, for the Emperor and Empress, and a reserved place was kept apart for the Ambassadors and their wives, and for the Imperial family. The Emperor was dressed in the uni form of tho Cossacks of the Guard, a scarlet tunic with silver lace, and a shako with a straight stiff plume or long tuft. I never can describe ladies' dresses, and all I can say is that the Empress looked exceedingly well, and wore resplendent jewels, and that the Grand Duchess Constantine was charming, graceful, and beautiful, as she ever appears, whether attired a la R usse or decked in the ne wes t fashion, set off by the finest diamonds and emeralds, such as she was to-night. A lase() gallery, at a considerable elevation, runs along the ball-room, from which the spectators can see what passes below, and it was filled by ladies and gentlemen in full dress, or by the dancers, who in vain sought refuge there from the heat. The scene was very magnificent, the number and variety of uniforms, diplomatic dresses, and the national costumes of Tartars, Greeks, Min. grelians, Circassians, Turks, Daghestanlis, Tcbeskes, Georgians, and those of the Boy ards and Boyardesses, in the habits of former times, producing the effect of a very magnificent fancy ball. I must modify very consi derably the opinion insinuated some time ago respecting the paucity of pretty women in Moscow, for there were present last night a large number of very attractive and elegant persons, who amply redeemed the character of the Russian type, and displayed great charms of face and figure. Waltz, mazurka, polonnaise, and national dances succeeded each other rapidly till supper time, and were, I dare say, resumed afterwards with increased vigour. Lord and Lady Granville and the Marchioness of Staf ford, Lord Wodehouse, M. de Morny, and most of the foreign Ministers and attaches, were present. To day there is to be a grande chase, and the weather promises to let all the world enjoy it. ABANDONMENT OF THE EXPEDITION TO NAPLES. We regret to hear a report, generally current in well. informed circles, that the joint expedition of the English and French fleets to Naples has been abandoned under the impression produced by the recent Note of Russia. No intelligence has yet reached the Foreign-office con veying any ass urance t h at t h e King of Naples w ill abandon his position. This resolve of the Allies, there- fore, to abstain from active interposition amounts to a confession that matters must be left in statu (no in the dominions of the King of the Two Sicilies.—ilforning Chronicle. Soyer, the well-known culinary artist, has arrived at Marseill es from Constantinople, on hi s way to London. PEPPLE, the ex-King of Bonny, was yesterday bap tised at Christ Church, St. George's-in-the-East, by the Rev. Mr. Gill. Capt. Walters, of the brig Neptune, was accidentally drowned yesterday in the Thames, off Wapping. Ile was in the act of stepping across a number of vessels to reach his ship. A meeting of the creditors of the Tipperary Bank was held on Friday, in Dublin, and a committee to watch over the concern was appointed. A further dividend is expected. An inquest was held yesterday on the body of Serl, the engine-driver, who was crushed to death on Wed on the Cryst a l P alace Railway. A verdict accidental death was returned, and the contractors o n fe Wed nesday were requested to adopt COMO other way of coupling tbewaggons. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.) MARLBOROUGH -STREET. ROBBERY BY A MASTER BRICKLAYER.—Robt. Wilmott, a master bricklayer, residing at No. 37, Tonbridge-street, New-road, and Patrick Murray, a labourer, were brought before Mr. Bingham charged with stealing a quantity of old metal and other articles, the property of Mr. Alfred Roper, a builder. Mr. Roper stated that he was contractor for the re pairs at No. 28, Prince's•street, Soho, and he let a por tion of that contract to the prisoner Wilmott, the latter supplying the labour and prosecutor the materials. The old metal, nails, three hods of mortar, and other articles were his property, and had been removed from the pre mises in Prince's-street. George Appleton said be was employed by the pro secutor to watch the premises in Prince's street, and this morning, about eight o'clock he saw the prisoners load ing a truck, and Murray went away with it, and took it to Wilmott's house, whers he unloaded the articles pro duced. Mr. Roper then came up and identified the property, and gave the prisoner into custody. The prisoner Murray, on the way to the station, said Wil mott had ordered him to take the things to his house. Wilmott, in defence, said he did not think he was doing harm in taking the things. Mr. Bingham fined him 15/. for the unlawful posses sion. The other prisoner he should fine 205., or 21 days, he having acted under the orders of the other man. TH - AME . ROBBERIES BY A WORKMAN.— Valentinei Z embra, an Italian, aged 29, late in the employ of Mr. Barnett Moss, looking-glass and picture-frame maker, in Leman street, Whitechapel, was brought before Mr. Selfe, on remand, charged with stealing a variety of property from his master's workshop. The prisoner had been in the employ of Mr. Moss for some years, and in the course of that time veneered looking -glass frames and other goods had been continu ally missed. A few days since Mr. Hall, foreman to the prosecutor, in passing the shop of Mr. Antonio Bianca, in Shoreditch, saw one of his master's large circular dress looking-glass frames exposed for sale there. He went into the shop and spoko to Mr. Bianca, and in conse quence of what lin Muted the prisoner was given into custody. Mr. Bianca said, in his evidence, that the prisoner called upon him and said be was no longs' working for Mr. Moss, and made up frames on his own account, and, producing a small circular model frame, said he had some large ones of the same pattern to sell. Mr. Bianca agreed to purchase two large veneered frames with stands complete, and the prisoner brought one to his house on the 30th of June and the other on the 18th of August, and Mr. Bianca gave 21s. for the first and 20s. for the second, which it was agreed was tolerably fair price. Mr. Moss and his foreman identi• fled the frame and stand, to which Mr. Bianca had added a dress looking glass, and produced another from their workshop of precisely the samepattern and made of the same wood. Mr. Bianca had disposed of the first frame he bought of the prisoner. It was of the same pattern as the other, and must have been stolen from Mr. Mosie fictory, for none of that pattern had been manufactured by any other frame-maker. The prisoner bad also sold a circular frame to Mr. Farnham, of the City-road► which was produced and identified by Mr. Mosey Mr. Farnham had purchased it in a hurry► one morning while his horse and chaise was waiting at his door to convoy him to his country residence. The prisoner one day informed Mr. Bianca, that he sold the smaller sized frames as fast as he could make them, t° Mr. Farnham and Mr. Towers, but no otherS could be traced. It was proved that the prisoner bad not been away from the prosecutor's workshop for two years, and that he could not have made up the trainee at home. A large quantity of tools belonging to the workmen in the employ of Mr. Moss had been stolen, and a plane, which the prisoner had pawned in Church street, Spitalfields, was owned by Edwin Owen Samr ders. There were other charges against the prisoners who was in the receipt of good wages, and an excellent workman, but he bad pursued a long career of vice and plunder, and had distressed his fellow-workmen. Mr. Selfe committed the prisoner, for trial on three charges of felony, and he lett the dock protesting in the face of positive evidence that he had made up his owls wood and that the plane was his own. SOUTHWARK. ----- AN Lusa Row.—Samuel Rickards and Mcv4 Ain Rickards, husband and wife, were brciught before Mr' Combe, charged with committing a violent assault 0 . 0 Ann Downes, the wife o f a b e d stead manufacturer, 04 Ewes-street, Gravel-lane.
