The British Fleet still remains in the Euxine, and will so remai n until Russia has full y and fairly performed her undertakings. It has been erroneously stated that the Ottoman Government had remonstrated with our own against a cmi . Untied occupation of those waters by a warlike squadron. The PORTE is too well aware of the unquestionable purity of the English motives to suppose that there can be any sinister design connected with the presence of the fleet. Austria still retains a holy of troops in the Prin ciPslities—troops paid, clothed, and provisioned at the expense of the unfortunate inhabitants. Ruska has, without the slightest foundation, seL:ed on the Isle of Serpents, and raised quibbles re specting Bolgrad of the most shameless and dis graceful character. Nor can we pass over in silence the proceedings relating to the rectification of the frontier. In that case the representatirei of R nm ia, some of the highest in the land, were guilty of a wilful and deliberate falsification of important docutneutF , , or perhaps it might be correc tly stated, the uttering of these documents, well know i n g them to be fraudulent, for which, if private ind ividuals, they might properly be required to hold up their hands at the Central Criminal Court. By such means they have striven to abate the mortification of the ArrocßAT. But OM hem incurred a very serious risk of new Nlibmw THE SUN, LONDON, SAT URDAYI EVEN ING I NOVEMBER 1, 1'35 G. .......-- . coroplica tons ; and it is manifest that these pro - G „di ngs lut,ve been approved of by the Cur and Cabinet of - St. Petersburg. If any doubt could exist on tl iis paint, it must be dispelled by the di.,creclitab le attempts of Russia to take advantage of the wrol igs committed by her own ftepresenta• tives ; and the truculent circular respecting the affairs of :Naples must completely set aside any argument that could now be advanced in favour of the Muscovite. The points in dispute may appear comparatively trivial and. unimportant, and we have no doubt that parties calling themselves Englishmen, but having little in common with English feelings, may be found to censure the resolution now displayed by the Government. But every principle that induced us to take up arms in opposition to the Rusttian aggression is involved in the result. Should we tamely yield to her untenable preten sions. we should become the laughing-stock of Europe, and irremediably forfeit the prestige that once belonged to Old England, and which every tree-hearted Briton will be prepared to support to the bast drop of his blood and the last shilling in ha s purse. t told you so" is usually but cold comfort to those who have been victimised by the arts of a swindler ; and if we take credit to ourselves for the repeated and emphatic warnings we addressed to the Government, the Parliament, and the, People of the United Kingdom, it is not to en hance the mortification which must necessarily be felt for the unsuspecting credulity displayed in I March, and the unwarranted rejoicings for the ratification of the Precious Treaty, but rather to induce them firmly and unflinchingly to insist on the complete fulfilment of the very moderate conditions which Russia pledged herself to perform ; and also, to caution against any further manifestation of confidence in a Govern ment that has been guilty of such unblushing duplicity and dissimulation. At this moment the CZAR. is striving to obtain 40,000,0001. of gold from France and England. It is said, and we believe truly, that a contract has been actually signed, by which a French company has stipulated to forward, within a limited time, that enormous amount to St. Petersburg, for the construction of a system of military railways, which must render important services to Russia in any new war which future aggressions on her part may require. Much of the capital is expected to come from England, and we need scarcely repeat the expla nations already given of the monetary embarrass ments that must ensue from such a continuous drain, especially if the unwise and impolitic Bank Charter Act of 1844 be still continued. Another snare is spread for English gold, in the project for forming the nucleus of a new Russian War Navy in the Black Sea. Almost every foreign project must, under existing circumstances, be regarded with distrust, but we should especially button our pockets against Russian applications. We have recently seen melancholy examples uif opulent firms that have been reduced to bank ruptcy by intermeddling with foreign schemes. Let our countrymen accept the warning while rhere is yet time. It would be a patriotic act in the part of the Committee of the Stock Ex change—one that would be deeply appreciated by the great majority of the people—if, by re• fusing their sanction to the quotation of such matters in the official lists, they averted the misery and distress of thousands of English and prevented the tears of widows and orphans from flowing copiously over blighted prospects and the eadurdnoe of the bitter privations inse parable from hopeless poverty. They have an I l important duty before them. Let us hope that they may exercise it with the care and discretion which its vast consequence so imperatively de mands. Rub- a-dub—Rub-a- dub—Rub-a- d üb. —.£l, 000 Reward ! Lost ! some time during last session of Parliament, or during one or all of the last three sessions, the Great Conservative party. It was last seen together in 1852, at Downing street ; but since then has been variously reported as to be heard of at Knowsley Park, Hughenden Manor, Westwood Park, and Powick Court, and even in certain brickfields in Worcestershire. Whoever will give information to BEN JA MIN DISRAELI, Esq., which shall lead to the discovery of the missing party, shall receive the above re ward on application at the Press Office, Strand. We claim the reward. We will not exactly say that we have found the lost party, for we have never lost sight of it ; but we know where it is, 1 and can produce it. Our neighbour, if fair to us, will down with the money ; if not we shall take our revenge through Mr. ROEBUCK and the Ad ministrative Reformers ; and if wo do that, the great Conservative party may as well take a nal , for half a century or so, for there will not be even a civil-service clerkship to conserve. A I hateful hedge of examinations will fence out the well-connected " noodles, and clever tradesmen's sons will laugh at the penniless juniors of primo geniture pricking their fingers in attempts to get thron , ll. Why, the great party is obvious enough to all who know faces as well as livery. The trimmings are changed, that is all. It was coun try green turned up with Protection gilt lace till '52 ; and it is country green still, but some hav e Brummagem anti-Maynooth and Irish Church button:, others Irish Church buttons only. Some again think the Hebrew mind essential to a go verning body, and have a shekel embroidered on the collar ; others think there is nothing like a peer or two and Quarter Sessions magistrates, and sport a coronet and a sessions house. But these are surely trifles. The great party itself we would undertake to set before the world by a very simple process. Just look at its votes and its non-votes. Try it on any liberal measure, or any tax-spending measure ; look I at those who voted steadily and dead against, say, the Ballot, the Irish Church Committee, the abolition of Church Rates, or Shipping Dues, or Limited Liability Bills. Look at those again who, intentionally, did not vote, or who shuffled—the prudential ones, with genuine Tory instincts, but practising due caution in the eyes of their con stituency. These are the lost party, unorganised it may be, but yet gregarious as Tory heart could wish when any popnlar measure is to be obstructed. Even when they diffet a little about any particular proposal, the Maynooth one for instance, it is a mere difference of special, not of general objech— of means, not of ends. Both parties, rejoice in all the rankest abuses of the Irish Church, but one thinks they are best preserved by giving el little sop to the Catholics, the other by throwing the Catholics overboard. If the Conservatives will take the comfort, there is, h oweve r, much more for them. Their party is really in office. What measure Lord PAL MERSTON'S Cabinet propose which they, if they were iu, would not be very willing to p ropose t oo, if it woad , but strengthen their pckition:. uhi Why, haN,e as to the war itself, th e y would have fought if the peo ple wanted them to do it, and w made certainly quite as good a Treaty of Peace as that which cannot be said to be completed even yet. And as to home measure, they might have resisted Liberalism more openly, but would n o t have jockeyed it more succomfally than the pr§fr sent Premier, whether the - measures emanated from members of his own Ca . binet or from inde- pendent members. The Cc•alition and the War Cabinets have both been as Conservative Cabinets as. heart could wish. The difficulty is, not to find where the great Conservative party is, but where it. is not. We should advise our disconsolate friends to think of some good honest English name expres sive of the real character of the lost party, and to try the effect of a little manly outspokenness. For this last quarter of a century they have labelled themselves with the maudlin epithet " Conserva tive," a long Latin word, all very well for West end clubs ; but what do tenants at will, old free men, and Dotwallopers know about " Conser vatism." As likely as not they never saw any approach to the word except in confectioners' shops ; or they may have heard of something like it in the landlord's garden. The old word Tory was something like ; it was not an imported word at least ; several generations had rallied to it, and it sounded like the quintessence of loyalty and nobleness ;—but it is gone, gone alas, with Lords ELDON and CISTLEREAOH, and buried for ever by the Reform Bill. Suppose our friends should call themselves the " Great Drag-chain Party"—every farmer, every waggoner, ever cabby and omnibus conductor would know what that meant. The good truthy Saxon would enter the heart as well as the ear ; Englishmen would feel that there was a little pluck in saying outright what was meant. Tke Drag-chain candidate would distance the smooth-tongued Conservative at the hustings, by more than half a neck, we are confident. He would leave him nowhere. Hear the twc—" I'm for a judicious Conservatism, which spares all that is valuable in our glorious constitution in Church and State. I'm a moderate and liberal Conservative." The other, " I'm for putting the drag on those headlong Ballot and Anti-Churoh-rate Radicals, that would upset the good old coach we've ridden in so long and so pleasantly. I'm the Drag-chain candidate, and no mistake." With all our Radicalism, if we had only the two before us, we would at least not vote for the milk-and-water one. And is not the Tory party merged in the great Drag-chain party ! Give it its right name, and you see at once its strength, and its bond of ser vice. The popular influence, press and people together, is very strong. It is all given to Re form, of one kind or another. It has achieved some telling reforms since the peace. It has several minor ones in view just now, and two great ones in Church and State loom in prospect. It is impossible to obstruct entirely, but the wheels of Reform may be dragged, if not stopped. JOHN BULL will submit to a wonderful deal of trouble, if it be but given in lawful form, and ' though we are to get to the bottom of the hill at last it is something if we can be compelled to creep instead of gallop. This, therefore, is the noble task of our Tories by birth, by apostacy, or by senility. It is of little consequence whe ther they range themselves under DEBBY, or under ABERDEEN, or PALMERSTON. They are the Drag chain party now and for ever. Toryism can no more originate, create, enact ; its sole function is to check the energy of the great out-of-doors party. To hinder their upsetting despotism, and liberating nations by war, and their sweeping abuses too fast fade away, in peace. Au incentive to one of the most humane and practical reforms of the age has just made its appearance. It comes to us in the form of an earnest and generous argument put forth in the shape of an excellent pamphlet* upon the "Dwel lings of the Labouring Classes in the Metropolis," by Major-General G. B. TREMENHEERE. A more than " thrice-told tale" this—of the squalor, and misery, and degradation associated with the lloarEs of so many thousands of our London popu lation ! If that holy name of HOME can really be applied to abodes of such habitual wretchedness. Already we have had the lamentable particulars doled out to us by other, and earlier, but not by any means more energetic, promoters of the cause than this, the latest, and perhaps for that very reason, one of the most practical of our sanitary pamphleteers. The benevolent Earl of SHAFTES• BURY, when Lord ASHLEY, has led us into those horrible dens of abomination, where the vermin rattle down upon the visitor's hat like a shower of peas, where the foetid atmosphere can scarcely be endured for a few seconds by those not habitu ated to it, where both sexes and all ages are styed together night after night in festering masses of dirt and rags, whore all the ills in PANDORA'S box seem nested together without the faintest ;glimmering of a Hope at the bottom of it all. SOUTHWOOD SMITH has at once consoled and horrified us by his elaborate exposition of the " Results of Sanitary Improve ment." Mr. GEORGE GLOVER has contrasted with frightful vividness the " Common and Model Lodging Houses of the Metropolis." Mr. JOHN SIMON, by his authoritative " Reports relating to the Sanitary Condition of London," may be said in a manner to have gauged the social horrors of cite capital—!eaving us in his standard pays a mass of wholly unparalleled statistics—according us, let us still trust and believe, the long-desired 7 0I' 1 7( ' ) from which to uproot and topple over the Mon ster Evil by means of a Lever of Reform really and truly Archimedian. It is strictly speaking in corro boration and enforcement of all that has been said wad done by such pioneers in the good cause as Mr. SIMON and Mr. GLOVER, and Dr. SMITH, sad Lord SHAFTESBURY, that General TREMEN HEERE now addresses himself to the same theme— theme of awful and grimly fascination. Con scious while so doing, as he himself here takes occasion to acknowledge (page ';'), that the work of reformation already now some time commenced, has actually as yet made but very little progress, and this "Notwithstanding Sanitary Com missions, Acts cf Parliament, and the efforts of benevolent Associations." If —asis of course incontrovertibly the case, " much has been done" "yet more" (not a doubt of it) "remains to do." And in furtherance of these still larger after-labours, in demon stration, and illustration, and elucidation of this " more"—we have now submitted to us this striking, startling, strenuously enforced argu ment by Major-General G. B. TREMENHEERE. An argument, remember ! designed for the fur therance of the social happiness of the industrious classes, upon a subject spoken of by our gallant and humane pamphleteer, very forcefully, truth fully, and epigrammatically, as— " this matter of such ina portancetotheir moralwell-being and their physical comfort." Ho recollects almost painfully at the very outset of his task how another reformer (Nlr. SiaioN), speaking' to the public at large upon the same theme half a dozen years ago (1850), had asked, with a shudder, after describing the pig stye sleeping apartments into which so many thousands are nightly huddled " Wh o can wonder at what becomes, physically or morally, of infants barn in these bestial crowds ?" General bears vividly in mind, moreover, that the partial good already effected by means of Acts of Parliament, and Benevolent Associations, and Sanitary Commissions, and so forth, really applies to the sanitary condition of no more than some 30,000 or 40,000 out cf the entire popu lation of the metropolis-30,000 or 40,000 out of the 2,000,000 or 3,000,000 constituting the aggregated inhabitants of London and Westmins ter 1 As corroborative of the utter inadequacy of the reforms already accomplished, comes the recent disclosure of that wink of social abomination near High Holborn—Plum-tree-court. Fully alive, therefore, to the magnitude of the evil remaining to be dissipated, Gen. TRENIZNIIEERE undertakes, is his very able pamphlet, to define what appears to his judgment the most feasible plan for a sys tem of Model Lodging Houses. Deriving a large amount of useful experience, it should be pre mised, from his labours as late Superintending Engineer in the Punjaub, when, after the close of the war, resulting in the annexation of that province to our Indian possessions, he was entrusted with the duty of supervising the construe- tion of enormous barracks fitted for the accommo dation of some eleven thousand men. Generously, nobly has the gallant soldier abandoned the weapons of war for those Jf peace—throwing aside the sword and the bayonet to take up, as it were, instead of them the spade and the mattock — intent upon the conquest of more deadly foes than the warrior horsemen of Northern Hindostan— Vice and Disease—daily and nightly the whole-1 sale destroyers of the bodies and souls of thou ' sands. GOD speed every such good and brave man in these benign endeavours ! Endeavours so generous, humane, and benevolent that, in the fullness of time, they can scarcely fail of securing the blessing of HEAVEN ! * " Dwellings of the Labouring Classes in the Metro polis."

The day before yesterday the Oesterreichiselie Cor respondenz positively denied that the Porte had re quested Austria to evacuate the Danubian Princi palities, but information t3-day received induces me (correspondent of the Times) to belitvi that the statements of the Pays, Patric, and Corotitationnel were not totally unfounded. The influence of M. de Thouvenal, who is supported by his Russian colleague, has recently so greatly in creased that he has managed to persuade the Porte to request Austria (and probably England) to name the period at which she intends to withdraw her forces from the Turkish territory. The reply of Baron Prokesch ii said to have been, that his Go vernment considered it advisable to prolong the oc cupation of the Danubian Principalities until the Bessarabiau frontier question was settled, but that it would immediately withdraw its troops if the Porte expressed a wish that it should do so. Al though the f)regoing news was obtained at a non- Austrian source it is probably correct, as Count Baol has spoken in the very same way to Prince Callimaki, the Turkish Minister at this Court. The King of Naples has positively refused to follow the advice of Austria. A few days ago Prince Petrulla read to Count Buol a despatch from his Government, in which it was said that the King was necessitated to refuse to make the concessions recommended by Austria, as it would be equivalent to a voluntary renunciation of his sovereign rights should he yield to England and France. Yesterday Prince Petrulla had another interview with Count Buol, and there is good reason for believing that be confirmed the state ment which he had made a few days previously. A letter from good authority at Parma says, that it has been at length definitively settled that the Custom-house League with Austria shall not be renewed, and that this decision was mainly, if not wholly, to be attributed to the firmness of M. Lombardini, the Minister of Finance of Parma. LATEST NEWS. TRIESTE, OCT. 31. Letters from Constantinople, of the 20th of October, state that, in reply to a question put by M. de Boutenieff, Admiral Lyons had declared that the English fleet would remain in the Black Sea until the fulfilment of the Treaty of Paris. The same despatch says that Russia has ex empted. Persia from the payment of the indemnity for the war of 182`7. Th© Paris correspondent of the Post (second edition), in his letter dated yesterday, says : " News from Constautinople is expected here with much anxiety. It is well known that Rus sia is using every description of intrigue with those who surround the Sultan to obtain from his Highness a demand for the evacuation of the Principalities, and the withdrawal of the Eng- lish squadron from the Black Sea. It remains yet to be seen if Lord Stratford de Redcliffe will carry his point, and awaken the Sultan to his own interests. I hear the latest de spatches from her Majesty's Ambassador at Con stantinople are more assuring ; but a consider able amount of pressure continued to be exercised to oppose the policy of England. At all events, Admiral Lyons has very positive orders, I hear, what to do under every possible difficulty, and he is not likely to fail in carrying out his instruc tions. It is possible that despatches have left Paris from the French Government for Constan tinople, which will lead to favourable results as regards a more active determination on the part of our ally to carry out the treaty of Paris." The Paris correspondent of tho Times (second edition) says : " The cannon of the allies have remained silent before the lazzaroni of Naples, and France and England have bowed before the Neapolitan Pulcinello ! So much for present impressions. "A Neapolitan letter, of the 26th, says : " ' We are all inclined to be rather ashamed of the sorry appearance we are making, seeing that the Legations are to skulk away as fast as they can, not only without the honour of a vessel of war to take them, but without any particular conveyance, so that the final exit will probably be made not in a body, but according to the fancy of individual groups. Failure, then, has attended this affair, that is certain ; but where the fault is I do not and cannot say ; and the King of Naples thinks himself perfectly justified in singing a song of triumph. I do not think that Lord Palmerston deserves half that has from time to time been said about him ; but it would be wiser not to have retraced again so soon in Naples the false step taken in Italian politics, or said to be taken, a few years . ago. He will hardly over get over the Minto mission ; and then again it was reported here, and believed by a good many, that he approved, or at least did not disapprove, the Murat intrigue. I do not vouch for the truth of the statement, but I affirm that the general impression on the minds of the multitude was, that the allies, one or both, were dabbling in low intrigues quite un worthy of the principles laid down in their ostens ible demands. It is also believed that projects were going on during the summer tending not merely to subvert the present dynasty, but to place Prince Murat on the throne, and to give Sicily to the Piedmontese.' The writer then expresses his belief that the Emperor Napoleon does not sanction the Murat intrigues. As for Piedmont it would iu all likeli4ood be her ruin if her name were associated with anything of the kind. 'ln sober sense and honesty,' con tinues the letter, ' would it not be a pre mature attempt at a scheme which may never oven in future ages be realised ? Would it not to be a lowering of England's high posi tion at present to throw out grappling irons over the southern States ? It would be infinitely better for all parties to have a sincere and inde pendent ally in Naples and Sicily than a discon tented and unnatural connection with hostile States between the northern and southern pos sessions. Discontented they undoubtedly would be, because, whatever sympathy they may justly feel for the Piedmontese, they have no notion whatever to abdicate in their favour their own independent existence r c, a nation. I will not take the trouble of detailing to you all that is said of the intrigues alleged to have been going on. Whatever be the truth, sea the immediate results. According to the German papers the King of Naples is about to request the Congress to guarantee the integrity of his possessions. What a slap in the face, in addition to all the rest !' FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. Public attention is much attracted by the speech of the King of Sweden at the opening of the Diet. It is even with a little surprise that some persons have road that speech, as they observe that it differs a little from that which King Oscar delivered on previous similar occasims. Those who aro ac quainted with the interest that the King when Prince Royal always felt in favour of ideas of pro gress and enlightenment, and who remember his first speech at the Diet of 1814, will recognise the same leading thoughts, and which is not the less noble and elevated that it is the expression of State necessity as of the heart. The Joeu'nal des &bats of to-day has a long article on the ScE.ndi navian question ; it is the first time that the French press treats a question which may before long be destined to occupy the attention of the Cabinets of Europe. If, as the Debuts says, and there is reason to believe the fact, the speeches which were pronounced during the last visit of the Prince Royal of Sweden, Viceroy of Norway, to Copenhagen, excited hopes which had reposed in every heart, it is certain that these wishes will be listened to, and that the will of the three Scandi n avian nations will not be disregarded by the d rest of Europe.

NAPLES. NAPLES, Oct. 27.—After referring to the depar ture of the members of the British and French Legations, the correspondent of the Times says do not expect a disturbance. My reasons for this expectation are as follow :—The Liberal party are well convinced that their strength lies in tranquillity and legality ; that which they invoke from others they mean to ob serve themselves, and they will not, therefore, as a party, take any false step which may lay them open to the charge of folly and imprudence, or expose them to the violence of the Government. Again, there is much more than force sufficient in the capital to crush the host combined efforts on the part of the Liberals, and that force will be em ployed energetically and promptly on the first ap pearance of disorder. Prudence and fear would, therefore, unite to keep the Progresista party quiet ; and the only question that remains to be disposed of is whether Government will itself pro mote any disorder. All hopes of concession and conciliation are now at an end, and speculation is active as to what turn affairs will take next. The American ves-el the Congress, which was sent here at the request of the American Minister, left for Marseilles on Saturday uight, The susque• AMERICA. SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY EVENING, Oct. 31 By the United States' mail steam-ship Arago, Captain Lines, with the French and English mails, we have dates from New York to the 18th inst. The Arago brings 207 passengers, specie value $870,000, of which $104,000 is for England. The cargo consists of 1,000 barrels of flour and 4,800 bushels of wheat for Havre. _ During the voyage the Arago, on the 18th inst., 20 miles east of Sandy Hook, exchanged signals with one of the New York and Liverpool packet-ships, showing a black ball in a red signal, and a black ball in her foretopsail ; Oct. 23, 3 p.m., in lat. 47 45, long. 48 10, exchanged signals with the United States mail amer Atlantic. The steamships EricsWn, Lyonnais, and Borus sia, respectively from Liverpool, Havre, and Ham burg, arrived at New York on the 17th inst. The Netv York Herald publishes the election re turns from all the counties in Pennsylvania. They show a majority of 633 for the Democrats. It was, however, supposed that many inaccuracies existed, which could not be corrected until the official returns were received. The Democrats claimed the majority by several thousands. There were 11,000 more votes cast on the 14th inst. than were given in the election in May last. The Herald of the 18th says that the State Committees of the organisation composing the Union party in Penn sylvania met in Philadelphia last evening, and agreed to an electoral ticket upon the basis proposed by the Union State Committee, in their call for a Union State Convention, to be held at Harrisburg on the 21st inst., to wit :-26 names in common, the 27th name to be different on the tickets voted for by the Fillmore and Fremont men respectively; the vote of the electors if chosen to be cast pro rata according to the vote given for the 27th name respectively. It was also agreed that the electoral ticket to be voted for by the Fremont me* should be headed by the name of John C. Fremont, that to be voted for by the Fillmore men by the name of Millard Fillmore. The accounts from Indiana are contradictory. A despp,tch from Cincin na ti g i ves th e D e mocrats 5,000 majority in 73 of the 91 counties, while re ports from Indianopolis say that the Republic no minee for governor is elected. Five of the 11 members of Congress are conceded to the Republi cans. In Ohio 13 Republican and 5 Democratic Con gressmen have been certainly elected. The three remaining distziots have without doubt chosen Re publicans. There was a grand demonstration of the support ers of Fremont in the river counties made at Poughkeepsie on the 16th. The weather was pro pitious, and the attendance very large. The num ber present is estimated at from 12,000 to 15,000. There was no end to the music, banners, flags, and other usual accompaniements. Unlike the Demo cratic celebration at the same place two weeks be fore, it was a bona fide mass meeting of the people of river counties—not a meeting of the New Yorkers imported up there. The people were ad dressed from the principal stand by Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, andfrom the several other stands by ex-Governor Ford, of Ohio ; Joe Blunt, of New York, and others. In alluding to the arrival of the steam-ship Bo russia, the New York Courier and Inquirer says : " Toe Hamburg steam-;tip Borussia, on Thursday, the 12th of October, off Newfoundland Banks, noticed that one of the propelling wings had broken off, proba bly from striking against some sunken ice ; the same evening another wing broke off, and the strain of the shaft from the irregular motion of the other wing sprung the stuffing box, causing the ship to leak very badly ; set the steam pumps to work, lightened the ship astern, and with fine weather, arrived this morning in tow of the steam-tug Achilles, and, on discharging the cargo aft, found no damage. This vessel being built in com partments, no fear could be felt for the safety of th e shi p . She now lies at Pier 21, North River, with three feet o f water in her after compartment." Later advices from Havannah have s been re ceived. They report that a f o rmidable s o P f a nthis aht fleet was fitting out to enforce the m country against Mexico, the previous being c a erroneous. li report of the adjustment of this difficulty Spain was about to send an army from Havaunah to A St. Domingo, for the purpose against the Republican movements for the freedom of the Dominicans a vinst the rule of the Hay tie tho . usand muske e black Government.

The steamer Monmouth on the night of the 14th inst. ran into the brig Windward in Chesapeake Bay, bound from Baltimore to New Orleans. The brig escaped with slight injury, but the Monmouth s prang a leak and in a short time sank. Nine par sons, principally belonging to the crew, were lost. Fifteen others escaped on a raft, and were subse quently picked up. Letters from the Chincha Islands, dated August 24, furnish most interesting particulars on the guano trade and its statistics, both of yield and export value. Au account is also given of how American ship mas t ers are treated by corrupt Peruvian officials. The condition of the Chinese labourers bad been ameliorated. Some American mercantile settlers afforded much aid to their coun trymen when travelling inland or trading on the coast. The schooner Walter Cummings, from Smyrna, Delaware, bound for New York, with a cargo of wheat, was totally lost on Long Beach during a gale on the 16th. The crew were saved. President Pierce arrived at Washington on the 16th inst. He was received at the railroad station by a large concourse of citizens and the officers of the District of Columbia Regiment, amid music and firing of cannon. The Mayor of Washington delivered an address of welcome, to which the President responded in brief, but eloquent terms. The President was • accompanied by his suite and Commodore Paulding, Captain Engle, and the Mayor of Washington, and was escorted to the executive mansion by a torchlight procession. A large fire had occurred at Philadelphia, which destroyed property to the amount of about 200,000 doll. It broke out in a lumber yard, situated on the Delaware. The New York money market was without ma terial change. The banks generally, it was said, were discounting to a fair extent for their ens tomers, and the rate of interest appeared to be somewhat yielding. The stock-market was rather animated, and prices of several descriptions had ad vanced. Foreign exchanges were unsettled, and bills on England were plentiful, with a good de mand. Th e cotton-market continued firm., with sales at full pikes. The flour-market was firm, with a fair amount of sales at about the previous day's quotations. WTheat was lc. to 2c. dearer for choice lots, red having sold as high as $1 60c. to $1 62c. ; and choice white Canadian as high as $1 74c. Indian corn was in good demand at 69c. to 70c., with the chief sales at the latter figure. Pork aga in advanced, with saki( of mess at $22 50g., and p r ime at $lB 75c. to $l9. Sugars were firm, with sales of 1,100 to 1,200 hhds. at full prices. Coffee was sold to a fair extent at full prices. Owing to the advance in breadstuffs and the increase in ship room freights for grain gave way for Liverpool, and engagemoutri Were made in bulk and kiegq at 7-id. to Bd. Flour was taken at es., and cotton at 5-32 d. The Courier and Inquirer contains the followiug in reference to monetary affairs : _ _ " It was supposed that the unfavourable tenour of ad vices from Europe would probably depre ,, s our stock market, but the reverse has occurred. Ye , terday and to-day the market assumes a better aspect, and induces holders to look forward to improving prices. There is no active demand for sterling bills for to-morrow's steamer. Drawers of sterling at 60 days are willing to take 109 109,i as extreme prices. Bills can be had a fraction lower. There is an obvious disinclination to purchase or remit bills on France, or even on German points, pending the unsettled condition of the markets of conti nental Europe. There is consequently a lack of buyers, and on the other hand drawers are just as willing to wait until further advices reach us as to the result of rlvl banking movements in France, Germany, Austria, kg. " There are no operations in United States Six per Cents, at the Board, and we hear of none outside. The rates are therefore nominal, but there are no bonds on the market. The Treasury offers 116 per cent., and eves at this rate holders are disinclined to sell. In State Loans the sales are quite limited. There is more in quiry for Missouri State Bonds, for account of western hankers, at an advance of 1 per cent. compared with last week. There have been sales this week at 91, but the closing price to-day is 89. The general depression in stock values affects Sate Loans but slightly. Holders are generally disinclined to sell at the prices quoted for some weeks past." THE BLACK SEA FLEET. It has been stated, in various quarters, that the Sublime Porte has addressed to our Government a remonstrance against the longer continuance of the British Fleet in the Black Sea. We are enabled to state that no such representa tion has been made by Turkey; and we repeat that, until the complete and faithful excution of the Treaty of Paris, the British Fleet will not be with drawn from the Euxine. The points at issue, however apparently insigni ficant in themselves, really involve the whole prin ciple for which we engaged in the late war, and of which we obtained the full recognition in the Treaty, signed at Paris on the too credulous sup position that it would bo honourably fulfilled.— Morning Post. It affords us (Stamford Mercury) pleasure to apprise our readers that Lord Robert Cecil, M.P. for Stamford, has kindly consented to give a lecture at the Institution in this town on Thursday evening next, Nov. 6.

We find it difficult to believe that, with all her cunning and all her aulacity, Russia would have ventured upon playing the part she is now exhibiting had it not been for encouragement received from the alliance of the Western Powers itself. We do not mean for a mo ment to impute to the Emperor of the French any thing but the most honourable and loyal persistence in the engagements into which he has enterad,but, unhappily, that honour and loyalty does not extend in the same degree to those by whom he is sur rounded. The idea of dismantling the fortresses to he given up has been traced to a source not entirely Russian, and we cannot help believing that the se cret enemies of both countries, who stand high in the confidence of the Emperor, are playing off Rus sia against England, in the hope that by so doing they will restore the prestige of their enemy, and lower the consideration of their ally. We warn these clever speculators on the endurance of one party and the arrogance of the other to beware lest they meet with success entirely transcending their most sanguine expectations. There never was a moment when the people of this country were less disposed to be trifled with, and Russia may have, unless she awake to wiser counsels, to buy the false eclat of her present demonstrations at a price which she would be alike unwilling and unable to pay. Our resources are untouched, our spirits are un broken, and having once made a treaty we will not suffer ourselves to be held up to ridicule as unable or unwilling to enforce its condi tions. We only hope that this dangerous game will be carried no further. We have asked nothing but what is fair and reasonable ; and what we have asked we are thoroughly resolved to obtain. We have been obliged on one occasion to undeceive foreign nations as to the extent of our devotion to peace. It is by no means impossible that we may be called upon to repeat the lesson.--. Times. A MAN HANGING A MONTH ON A TREE AT HORNSRY. ---.-- - Considerable sensation was created in the parish of Hornsey on Thursday afternoon by the discovery of the body of a man hanging from the bough of a tree in Caen Wood, in such a state of decomposition that the limbs barely held together. An inquest was held last evening at the Gate House Tavern, Highgate bill, before the deputy coroner for West Middlesex, Mr. G. T. Brent, when the following facts were elicited : The name of the deceased was Martin Laub, a Ger man, aged 23 years, residing at 93, Drummond-street , Euston-square, where he carried on the business of a clock and watchmaker. He had been married about sit months, and on the 29th of September he left his home early in the morning, apparently in the best health and spirits. Several days having elapsed without his return ing, his friends became alarmed, and made inquiries at the various police-stations and advertised in the pews papers. On Thursday afternoon a labouring molt named Evans, was passing with a terrier dog along th e footpath, when the animal began to sniff and turned into the wood, where he commew.ed barking furiously, and would not be called away. Evans followed the dog, and about 200 yards in the wood, in a most lonely and unfrequented part, he saw the body of the deceased in horrible condition, suspended by a small cord round his neck from the bough of an oak tree. Information was immediately conveyed to the police, when the body was removed, and subsequently identified. His watch, money, and pocket-book were found upon his person. No reason whatever could be assigned for the suicide, and the jury returned a verdict in accordance with the evidence of the case. M. KAMMERER'S ELECTRIC CLOCKS. An opportunity was afforded by his worship the mayor, yesterday, at noon, to M. Kammerer, the invert for and patentee of an electric clock, to exhibit bis h°29. loges electriques in the Mayor's Parlour, of the Town' hall The Mayor, the Town-clerk, Alderman Willerts Councillor Simpson, the Rev. Canon Riehson, the Rev. H. H. Jones, and other gentlemen taking an interest in the subject, were present. There were three elect tric clocks, of varied external appearance, placed in different parts of the room, and these were governed by one under standck(hioThhewecomnio clock tolitw can be added to an y clock) whereb y it is brou g ht i n to contact with t he two p oles of a galvanic bat ter y . has ordinary anadditipoennd madenlu m co The wires from the battery communicate with a drum. moved by the clockwork, and every fifteen seconds the current is changed, the positive and the negative being transmitted alternately. The going of this clock regn• later the motion of the others.! A wire is continued from the drum to the electric clock, which is of very 010 ° construction. The apparatus of one of them was fixed to a dial of plate glass, so that the movement could be easily observed. There are two pairs of small straight electro-magnets, each pair having their ends opposite to the other pair, with about half an inch space between' Within this space there bangs a vertical steel bar, which may also may b e ma d e o f plate-glass, suspende d from spindle at the top. The rod has two slight projections 0 ° each l side, parall e l t o t h e en d s o f the w i re-co il e d magnet!' Vhen the electric current comes on the wire from W e positive mid of the batt er y (th roug h the drum of the regulator-clock), the positive magnets attract the bar t°_ it, the distance being perhaps the sixteenth of an inc h ,: When, at th e en d o f fift een secon d s , t h e ne gative poi operates, rep u l s i on t a k es e ff ec t, an d t h e b ar moves t ° the opposite side. This oscillating bar gives motion to a wheel, which turns the minute and hour hands. 111111 is effected rather curiously ; it is something like to! common crutch or anchor escapement, only that, ineteaO of the wheel moving the escapement, the escapensent moves the wheel. The teeth of the wheel are cut ° l 7 liquely, or sloped on one side, so that all the pallets, oe the anchor come in contact with the sloping sides be e f cogs of the scape-wheel they force it round. The tv,, moves one cog every 15 seconds (but could be mad e move every second or half second if required), the 1 13 ° 1 Z: moot being imparted on each side alternately. It was 01' served that the 3 clocks beat simultaneously, in fact go o precisely that the triple sound was mistaken by several! proceeding from one clock. It was stated by the venter, that if the galvanic battery were attached to.ell particular standard clock, say the one in the vestibule Of t il t . Town Hall, that any number of clocks, placed in svb ° n ever part of the city (or the kingdom), communica ti t with this by a wire, would indicate precisely the ean i t , time. The precision with which the instruments g e r formed was the subject of general remark. We tiat e d stand that in a prior invention, electricity was only us e to impart the motion in one direction, _a spring bel depended upon for the opposing motion. rracticeehovie.. that when the electric current was weak, the spring too strong, and this sometimes led to inaccuracy. I . Kammerer obviates this by employing the current, 11,1; tive and negative, for both motions. We learn t ":j, many hundreds of these clocks are in use upon the rfe, ways and in the public offices in Belgium, and that . 0 Kammerer is under cont rac t t o supply a large o rder i e. Russia.

Mr. Kammerer is remaining I° st, short time in Manchester (at Mr. Van Hees, No. 8' for- James's-square), in order that parties desirous of i n is mation, or who may wish to treat for the invention this district, may have an interview with him. The Cork Constitutional says the connection of r h t; Henderson, and Co. with the Bandon Railwal, 7 . o ceased.
