In the course of the night the men broke open the door of the room and took out almost all the documents con taihed there to cover over their feet and legs, and also for them to lie upon, although ample quantities of straw had been already served out to them.- On the following day they burnt a .portion of these 'domunente, and another portion waa.fonnd high roan, scattered about, it a considerable alefanceiioin the village.

I have just had an, opportunity, at the house of a friend of mine, who has lately returned from a business journey through all the principal planes of Wallachia, *of inspecting. a number of authentic documents, which he had received frem,the autho rities of various towns, who parted with them most readily, _ seeing that no obligation to secrecy is im 'poSed on the Government 'employes in Wallachia with regard to notorious facts ' that have taken place before everybody's eyes ; moreover, there exists but one feeling of indignation in Wallachia that the complaints of all the inhabitants and all the constituted authorities as to the conduct of the Austrian soldiery meet with no attention, and nothing like punishment ensues with a view to prevention for the future. I send you herewith an extract of some of the reports of the local authori ties. As they extend over a considerable space of time, and over nearly the whole of Wallachia, they afford an interesting proof how, alas ! only too true those descriptions in the press have been that have represented the discipline and the . conduct of the Austrian soldiery, at all times and in all places, from the time of their entry until now, as extremely defectivennd lamentable. On the same occasion `I saw a list" of all the murders ,of inhabitants of Wallachia and Moldavia, which, as is shown by official documents; have been Commi ted by Aus trian soldiery, with the names and dates attached, together with reference to the reports containing the facts. If the course hitherto pursued of deny ing the truth of notorious facts be still continued, instead of the persons in authority insisting upon stricter discipline tieing observed, it is already re solved on to publish this other list. We should, on the other hand, be curious to see a list of any real and corresponding punishments that have been .inflicted in consequence. Nobody in all Wallachia, knows of a single instance of an exemplary punish ment, and yet it would have been only politic, had any such taken place, to give it-the greatest amount of publicity possible, so that men's, naiads might have been tranquillised on this point—viz., that perfect impunity is not assured to the culprits. The following is the extract I have made from the above-mentioned collection : BUCHAREST. An Austrian sub-officer, in a state of drunkenness, thrust himself, Oct. 2, 1854, with his sabre in his hand, into the rooms appropriated to the Turkish regimental band, and, to judge by his threats and his gestures, would have wounded various penile if those present had not succeeded in delivering him in custody to the guard. A police employe reported, Nov. ,-3.854, that an Aus trian soldier had broken open the door of the house of as inhabitant, and, sabre in hand, had searched for some body whom he was unable to find. A gendarme, who was coming out of this house, received from this soldier, as he was entering, a sabre wound over his eye, of so grave a nature that he was obliged to be taken to the hospital. The Austrian Corporal Skala, of the Lancer regiment Pfinyerail, committed an assault on the Bojar Paul Siefatieske, and thereby inflicted on him such severe blows with a cudgel that he was left half dead. The Bojar's life was fortunately saved by a number of per sons rushing to his rescue. All the proprietors of vineyards in Colontina have , ent in their complaints against the Austrian military that they destroy their vineyards, steal their grapes and other fruits, fire their pistols at the vinedressers and other servants when they venture to remonstrate with them, and even wound them with their sabres. The Yellow Commission (local board), in et report dated Feb. 13, 1855, informed the police of Bucharest that an Austrian corporal, who had been drinking beer and spirits at the shop of the Serdar Anastasius Gazoti, in the faubonrg Raatranoul, instead of paying his reck oning, drew his sabre and wounded the landlord Joseph, who required payment of him. His wife was treated in the same way, on coming to We help. Nobody could prevent him, for he defended himself with his sabre until he left the shop. The srme board reports on the 7th of Nfay, 1855, to the Bucharest police that an Austrian soldier has run through with his sword a certain Nedeiko, aubergiste in the faubourg Batista, from whicia'wound ha died the following day. A. 'Nigel) belonging to T. Floresco, wino Wis present, and endeavoured to come to the assistance of the aubergiste, was also wounded by the soldier. DISTRICT ILEOV. Some Austrian 'soldiers were marching-towards Bolin. tinow die Vale, on their road to Bucharest, on the 30th of Sept., 1854. After everything had been supplied -to theta that they required, one of then, wont to the auber• giste of the village, Basile Basilion, and used threats to his servants. The latter took to their heels on seeing him draw.his sabre. He, however, pursued one of them, and gave him two cuts over the head with his sabre, be sides various wounds on the arm, after which the soldier made off. A strict investigation was made into the matter, which corroborated the above stuement, but nothing has been ever done to the soldier to punish hint for the violence committed on the person of the servant. The sub-prefecture of Suagovu reports to the prefec• ture of Bucharest, under 'date of September 22, 1854, that the Austrian soldiery during their march throng h that district are committing a number of acts of uncon trolled excess, carrying off the oxen and the carts, rob bing the landed proprietors, and taking from the inha bitants anything and everything they take a fancy to. Another report of the court of justice iu the village of Dregonureschti, sent into the prefecture of Bucha rest, dated September 29, 1854, states that four Au.- trian soldiers cams into the tavern there, and, after hav ing eaten and drunk there without paying, began to maltreat an ecclesiastic present, in the expectation that the rest of the priests would be by this conduct com pelled to leave the premises. But when they saw that this trick did not succeed, and that only the priest with drew, they went out after him and caught him up just in front of his own house, His brother and sister-in-law rushed out to his assistanre on hearing his cries for help ; his brother was killed on the spot, and the other per sons who took his part severely beaten. The inhabitants of Buniassa made a oomplaint in Ja uary, 1855, to the prefecture in Bucharest, that the Austrian soldiers, in spite of the severe frost, turned them out of their houses, and their cattle out of their stalls ; that they were eourtantly requiring of them an unreasonable amount of service and waiting on, which perfectly prevented theta from earning their own liveli hood; that already, in consequence of this r ,ugh treat ment, a great number of their cattle had died, and in many other respects they had received considerable da mage. To the same effect is also a complaint sent in by the sub-prefecture of Snagovu. Johann Stefanisko, residing in the neighbourhood of Bucharest, complains that Austrian soldiers quartered in Colontina have destroyed his whole vineyard, have demolished hie fruit trees, and buret all his casks. On the head gardener's remonstrating with them they gave him several cuts with sabres on his head. The grapes which the soldiers ate were still green, and the proprietor has not been able as yet to obtain any indemnification. CONTRACT FOR SCOTCH BARLEY.

The sub-prefecture of Prahova reports, under date of the 29th of December, 1854, that a troop of Austrian soldiers, 209 strong, while on its march was quartered in the village Komarink on the various inhabitants for the night. On that same night they broke open a ware house and stole from it 1,000 oka of dried plums, 1,500 oka of beans, 3 kilo of Turkish corn, 2 kilo of sat ley, 1 kilo of wheat, 2 chests of mineral waters, 1,000 oka of apples, and 500 oka of pears. On applying ftr an indem nity to the Austrian commander in Kimpina the appli cants were imformed that they must look for payment from the chief of the regiment of infantry in Bucharest, Sigismund. The sub-prefecture of Prahova reports in February, 1855, that the Austrian troops while marching thmugh committed all sorts of excesses and violence ; they broke open the houses and cellars, and, among others, have robbed one Radu Skafa of 120 put•tres. The Abbot of Bleriow rep ,, rts to the Ministry of Pub . lic Worship that the Austrian troop,: that are encamped there haie cut down nearly the whole of the forest, and are in all probability converting the wood into money, seeing that they have already received from the local Government all the firewood they require. The police in Plojeschti report to the prefecture, De cember 21, 1854, that Austrian .oldierA, on meeting the shop-boy Radauk-Jowesko at the extreme end of the town, beat him over the head till he wai quite senseless. After they had taken from him what money he bad about him, they gave him three or four stabs in the body, from which he died in the hospital within 24 hours. DISTRICT KRAJOVA. Panajotti Theodor, one of the first merchants of Cra jova, was, Jan. 4, 1855, arrested by Austrians at the Casino, (a species of club), where he was t.igether with a number of men in business, and taken to the prefecture under escort, kept there several days without a.uy inves tigation being made into his case, and in spite of the re monstrances of the entire body of merchants and repeated r epresentations on the part of the Prefect - . The police of Krajova report, under date of Jan. 12, 1855, that at 2 o'clock that morning Austrian soldiers bad broken into the dwelling of the merchant Anastasin Scherten6sko, and inflicted on both him and his wife (at the time enciente) several sabre wounds. .The captain of this company. on being informed of the circumstance by the brother of the injured man, caused a search to be made through the quarters of soldiers, by which means six men were discovered whose weapons were found stained with fresh blood.

The sentry was fortunately not injured, and the soldier received as a punishment for this attack upon a seutmel 25 blows with a stick on his back ! DISTRICT BRIILOW. The Brailow police report., under date March 23, 1855, that a certain Jonitza Angel had been murdered by Austrian soldiers near the Church of St. George ; further, two shopmen had received various wounds from an Austrian soldier on occasion of their asking for pay meat of goods they had bought. Another person wa , found by the police on the place of the street Papa Ra don, murdered and robbed by Austrian soldiers. o:her police reports, sent in from Tirgowischt and other places, showed similar acts of brutal violence and injury tone to limbs, and property, from mere reckless love of mischief and destruction. The above are extracted from a larz,e number of re ports sent in by the various authorities in Wallachia The following is an official atatereent of the outbreak that took place in the Tower of Fokschan, on the border of Wallachia and Moldavia, and which was consider able enough to give rise to widely-extended reports of a general rising against the Austrians. The Austrian gar rison of Fokechen consists of Croat infantry and Hun garian cavalry. The manner in which these men con duct themselves passes belief—they behave like wild hordes. There is not the slightest trace of discipline, and the men recognise no authority. November 20, in the forenoon, there was a regular fight on the open market-place between Austrian sol diers and about 200 of the people. The former fought with their bayonets, the latter with cudgels and sticks. At length an officer appeared with a patrol, and sent the men back into their quarters. The case of this row was this :—Austrian soldiers had forced their way into a tavern kept by one Demeter Breteano, and had stolen there everything they could lay their bands upon. The landlord resisted, and, on his cries for help, others had come in to his assistance, and thus the fight commenced. The landlord received two stabs with the bayonet. On the evening of the same day Austrian soldiers entered the house of the first named arigi-Koloi, and endea voured to take forcible possession of his stables. Boloi asked them if they had billets on him. Without giving him any answer they rushed on him with drawn sabres. The merchant let them enter his warehouse, and then found his own safety in flight. After half-an-hour the local authorities appeared and found Koloi, half dead with fright, hidden under a sofa. The soldiers that prowl about the town at night for the purpose of robbing and plundering for the most part wear no nnifornis, for the purpose of avoiding detection. The Austrians have got a very large stable and immense stores of straw collected in the centre of the town. On the 21st a wooden staff was brought to the prefecture, hound round with cloth or other stuff, and saturated with pitch ; this had been picked up in the street in the imme diate vicinity of the stable, The....greateskapprehensions of a conflagration are entertained in the town. Letters frost Jassy of December 22 mention that the winter had brought with is a t ..ntost r .nnusual,eev . erity of cold. On the 16th the Reaurnur thermometer shOeted 16 deg. of cold, and on the 20th there were 23 deg.,— that is to say, 25 deg. Fahrenheit below zero. Ever since the 16th of December the Danube had been firmly frozen over, and all communications between the two banks take place over the ice. PAUPER FUNERALS-0 'IV - DUCT OF OFPIOIALN AND THE RELATIVES OF THE POOR. Yestfrday, at a meeting of the directors of the poor of St. Pancras, held at the Ve=try-hall, Camden-town— Henry Farrer, Esq., senior churchwarden, in the chair, The CHAIRMAN presented a communication, which had been referred to the board of directors by the Burial Board, addressed by the Rev. Mr. Wilkinson, the chap lain of St. Pancras Cemetery, at Finchley, to the chair. man of the Burial Board, the Rev. Thos. Dale, M.A., the vicar, with respect to the conduct of the officials and the relatives of deceased paupers on the way to and at the cemetery:—Mr. Wilkinson stated that on the pre vious Tuesday the hearse and the covered cart, provided by the hoard for the conveyance of the relatives of the deceased parties as mourners, did not arrive at the ground till 20 minutes after their time—a circumstance of little importance if the delay had been accidental, but it appeared that they stopped at the White Lion public-house for drink, and whilst he (the rev. chaplain), Mr. liissick, the superintendent, and the gravediggers were waiting for the arrival of the bodies for interment and to perform the service, coachmen, undertakers, and mourners ,sere all seen together carousing at the road side inn. This was the less excusable, as they are allowed an hour after the solemnisation of the funerals for refresh ment, a privilege they seldom omit to avail themselves of. Mr. Wilkinson proceeded to remark, "I may be excused for saying that this matter deserves attention just now, as the board have authorised the usa of a conveyance for mourners to the cemetery. This is a humane plan, but the rvlarylebone authorities adopted a similar scheme, and were obliged to discontinue it in consequence of the mourners stopping at public houses on the way, for drink. Mr. Fiddler's (the workhouse undertaker's) character, I may add, is such, that a few words of ad monition from those who employ him would be desirable, for his general behaviour, while in the cemetery, is far from satisfactory, and on two or three occasions he has conducted himself so improperly that I have been com pelled to expostulate with him, and make him promise to behave more decently for the future." Mr. Churchwarden FARRER said the vicar had read this 'letter at a meeting of the Burial Board, held at Finchley, on the previous day, and that portion which came under the cognisance of the board of directors had been referred to them. It wool I seem that the effect of pr,viaing conveyance for the relatives of deceased poor to foil , w their friends as mourners had been productive of another evil, that of drunkenness. (Hear, hear.) He had directed the attendance of Mr. Fiddler, the parish undertaker, and thought the subject was one which ought at once to be investigated and dealt with by the board. (Hear, hear.) Mr. FIDDLER was called before the board, and said, although au inmate of the workhouse, he had acted as undertaker for the interment of the poor from the house for many years. The CRAIRMAN—In what capacity do you go with the decea-ed poor from this house to the cemetery at Finehley ? Mr. FIDDLER—That's just what T want to know. (Laughter.) CHAIRMAN—What situation do you consider yourself as holding I Mr. FIDDLER—I consider reyvseolfthtehrempearnlibsehrsuonfdtehre. taker, and I look a ft er the bodies. Mr. STREETEN, Mr. DYKE, a. l board, rigidly interrogated Mr. Fiddler as to the occa sion when t.l.ley were discovered carousing on the way at the road side inn ; but for a long while he was exceed ingly oblivious u p on the point, but ultimately confessed that he bad no control over the driver of the hearse, who was employed by the contractors, Messrs. Bennicke and Co., to take. the bodies down. He never stopped at the public-house: to drink of his owu accord, but did not object to a glass, if the other parties stopped and asked him to take one. He knew what was meant by his miscon ducting bin 'self in the cemetery. It was when they took two hearse. loads of bodies down instead of one, and Mr. Kissick w; ts very cross at not receiving notice of so many bodit a coming. He recollected be did swear a little. The CHAIRMAN said it appeared that Mr. Fiddler did net know what capacity he filled--whether the under- taker, the d river, or the horse, when he went to Finch• ley—and th at he would more properly be called Mr. Fuddler th an Mr. Fiddler. Itiwas mitimately resolved, on the motion of Mr. Tun secon, led by Mr. GOULDING, "That Messrs. Ben eicke, the contractors for the funerals of the poor to the cemetery, 1 Je written to, colup!alnitu4 of the conduct of their drivel -s in stopping at public-houses on the way to the cenu to ry, contrary to the directions of and agree ment with the board." Mr. Fiddler was then severely admonished as to his future co , iduct both at the cemetery and on his way, and orde red to report any attempt, either on the part of the cc .achnien or mourner, to stop at public-houses on their way with the funerals of the poor. Mr. P T.IESTMAN, the dispenser at the workhouse, hav ing tend, ; red his resignation cf that office, it was ac cepted, t lad the board, alter some routine business, sepa rated. 7 , ' - ' t2TTI LOPD STRATFORD DV PEPOLi PIT .AND THE FALL OF .KARs.. (Rom, the Tiineg of this day.) ° In another fortnight Parliament will meet, - after a recess crowded with momentous incidents. It will be the lot of the Legislature to discuss the past and future campaigns, to examine the causes of success or failure, to suggest rewards for eminent services, or to demand inquiry into alleged neglects. In such circumstances we cP a no longer delay men tion of a subject which occupies the minds of those conversant with Eastern affairs. We have before alluded to the transactions connected with the siege of Kara, and to the comments made on the conduct of Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, the British Ambas sador at Constantinople. The great calamity which has befallen the Turkish arms has given to these events a vast importance, and we should but ill perform our duty if we concealed the fact that the neglect and abandonment of the British officers and the troops they so ably led are spc ken of and attri buted by persons well informed on the matter to personal feeling on the part of the Ambassador towards the English General whose name is now so well known in connection with a long defence of the place. The matter is notorious to all acquainted with the Turkish capital, and not entirely unknown to the world in general, although the formalities o f political discussion have generally precluded any allusion to it in Parliament or the press. It may be said, then, that it is the misfortune of Lord Stratford to live in a state of dissension with almost every man with whom he is brought into contact. Although his age and position are suffi cient to insure due respect, and those who approach him have no-wish to be on other than amicable terms, yet few can hope long to escape some out break of his violent and groundless He lives in an atmosphere of antipathies, and, accus tomed during so many years to intercourse with Turkish officials and to the deference of Levantine - society, he is impatient of any demur to what he conceives his authority. The disregard of his advice, or even the differing from his opin ion, is enough to kindle a dislike which may last for years. Such is the man to whom the British Government has committed the care of its interests in the East. Turkish ways are not as our ways, and a Minister at home must naturally leave all dealings with this unknown world to the representative and his staff of Orientalists and dragomans. A British Ambassa dor can by a word enforce attention to a request of his Government, or mark it out for neglect. " I am to lay this communication before you—do not ask my opinion of it, decide for yourselves," is sufficient to insure the rejection or evasion of a demand, even though it emanated from the Foreign office itself, for the Porte will fancy that it was never meant to be acceded to, and will, with ready duplicity, acquiesce in the s ratagem. Hence it is evident that the whole power of the country he re presents must be wielded personally by a represen tative in the East. Now, the statements to which we wish to call attention are as follows :—General Williams, who had been formerly employed on the Turco-Persian Boundary Commission, and had some acquaintance with the people and language of Asiatic Turkey, was in 1854 selected as British Commissioner to the Ottoman army in Armenia. The Turks had been defeated in five battles, and their force was completely disorganised. It was thought that the experience of General Williams might be of service in the reconstitution of the army and the defence of the threatened provinces. He was distinguished chiefly by a quiet, un assuming disposition, so much so that few of his friends gave him credit for the resolution and sternness which be displayed in the defence and government of Kars. It is difficult, therefore, to conceive the grounds of the Ambassador's alleged dislike, except it he that General Williams received his appointment from the Foreign-office, and not through the representations of Lord Stratford. But this dislike seems to have been not only felt, but expressed ; the Ambassador is said to have, in his usual manner, proclaimed his resentment and his purposed retaliation. One thing is clear—that he would in no way assist the new British Commissioner, even in the most formal manner. General WiTams had to go up to the seat of war unrecommended and unaccredited by the representative of his country. With men like the Turkish commanders this was a sufficient hint, and the General's difficulties were no doubt vastly increased. However, lie applied himself to his task, took a note of deficiencies, saw how corruption and cowardice had worked, and was soon intent on a thorough reform. His official position was strictly only that of adviser ; he could do nothing but by the Turkish Government, and his only instrument must he the representations of the Ambassador. -He accordingly wrote to Lord Stratford, entreat ing his assißtance in laying before the Porte the impenclttitg danger and the necessity of action. The fset'which we will now state is almost incredible, triit'we is tine beyond a doubt. The Ambassador would hold no communication with General Williams. He would not ans Fer, he would not acknowledge the receipt, of a single de spatch. It is said that not less than 63 despatches and letters were sent by the British Commissioner, and to no one of these would the Ambassador re ply. He would have nothing to do with General Williams or his affairs. Among the most pressing wants was that of ammunition. General Williams wrote, it is said, repeatedly on this subject, but received no answer, and nothing was done. When Kars surrendered there was only three days' am munition in the place although it had to sustain no regular siege. This fact was successfully con cealed from the Russians, or it might have saved them a long and wearisome blockade. At last, we believe, General Williams made a com plaint to the Foreign-office, which in turn directed Lord Stratford's attention to the matter, and requested him no longer to ne glect the representations of the Commissioner. Lord Stratford ungraciously obeyed, corresponded formally with General Williams, but the requests of the latter were to the last ineffectual. General Williams, making the best of his narrow means, fortiffed the two chief cities of Armenia, and took his stand at Kars, the frontier fortress of the province. Mon, provisions, ammunition, were alike deficient—the troops were in a miserable condition. One of the matters urged on the Am bassador by General Williams was a payment, at least in part, of the arrears due to them. Those in Kars had not received a piaster for three years when the place fell, and their clothes were worn out long before their stomachs were pinched. The request, it is needless to say, was unnoticed by Lord Strat ford. The men were much cast down and discon tented as far as it is in the nature of the Mussul man to he. But when Mouravieff surrounded the place, the energies of both Englishmen and Turks were roused. Neglected, insulted, abandoned, General Williams determined to resist to the last. His officers staunchly stood by him. That these brave men should feel no pang of resentment to wards him whose causeless animosity they believe to have been their ruin, would be perhaps more than can be hoped from human nature. If any thing, however, could add to their indignation, it would be to find that after the place was invested, after the defence had begun to enlist the sympa thies and rouse the admiration of the world, the Ambassador suddenly changed his tone, gave au air of cordiality to his despatches, expressed his commiseration for we haeult:e said Generalfortuna e t n e ough.An and his Staff, and talked of his constant exerti ons for their safety es e h ß t ut i r ngs must take plac e a t an easl l Y in quiryinto t d a y. The correspondence since the autumn oS 1854 will, no doubt, be called for. For the present we leave the matter, in the full hope that justice will be done. MR.
