A few lacs of rupees, promptly supplied, may render a far greater expenditure unnecessary, and avert what cannot be regarded as a little war. Under any circumstances, it is essential that the course of Russia should be vigilantly and care fully watched. Her complicity with Persia seems indisputable, and it is that which renders the danger so threatening. If Persia alone were concerned the matter might be left to DOST MAIOMET. As it is, there is no alternative but o meet the attack with vigour and resohttion, so as to prevent the insertion of "the sharp end of the Muscovite wedge." ROY AL PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

According to the New York, Times, the Mormon leaders have cast away every p re t ence o f morality and every vestige of respect for Federal authority. Not content with pillaging and inti midating their dupes, indulging in the grossest sensuality, making secretly away with refractory disciples, and by artifice baffling successive Presi dents, their audacity has carried them so far that, armed like highwaymen, they present themselves as an unwelcome escort to the United States mail, openly attempt the assassination of a United States officer, and, on the people expressing sympathy for him in his sufferings, rebuke them in language " hot from hell" in the Temple, and tell them the next time such a deed is committed there would be no occasion for any noise to b e made about it A STLEY'S ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.

It may, however, be reasonably accounted for, The system of Mormonism is the vilest imposture on record, and darkness is essential to its legiti mate development. The temptations to such de velopment are irresistible, but darkness is nowadays impossible. Strive to hush up the wails and her metically seal the prison of their victims as they may, the feat is simply impossible. The Federal power insists on placing its officers among them ; the United States mail passes through their chief city; strangers cannot be prevented from coaling and dwelling among them ; the truth leaks out by driblets, and every effort is required to keep back the whole. The atrocious system is in perpetual danger. Given, then, the rankest scoundrels on GOD'S earth, the most shaky system conceive ble, and the ordinary risk of its being exploded, ag• gra,vated by the prospect of famine, and the rest naturally follows. Though the limit to rascality be undefinable, there is a limit to hypocrisy. It is cast aside when it ceases to serve the turn. If the mail is thus guarded, it is to prevent the escape of their victims, and• the revelations that must ensue. If the Monnonites are forbidden to sell wheat to the Gentiles, and are recommended There is another Eastern difficulty " looming to evade the payment of their just debts to them, in the future,"—one in which England is more be sure of it the perpetuation of the system which immediately concerned than in that which led to enables their leaders to wallow in sensuality is the the late war, and the sacrifice of 50,000 British chief object.

SIR, —ln your impression of the 7th inst. you state that the London General Omnibus Company have "60,000 horses, 3,000 men, * * * run about 30,000 miles daily, and convey the almost incredible aggregate of a million of passengers." Surely there is some misstatement here (not designed of course), seeing that the weekly traffic returns of the company:amount, in round numbers, to about 11,0001., and averaging the million passengers at threepence each, gives a daily receipt of 12,5001. There is plainly a blunder somewhere, perhaps mire, owing to the word "aggregate," which having been differently explained by . a Solicitor and an Attorney- General, and bothered a Committee of the House on the Friendly Societies Bill, I may perhaps be pardoned for being unable to credit that upwards of one-third of the whole population of the metropolis enter the company's 'buses in one day, for which very likely you think me THE SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL, AT THE HAYMARKET THEATRE. Mr. Buckstone's admirable company of come dians are now performing nightly to delighted houses poor old Sherry's incomparable masterpiece —" The School for Scandal "—one of the wittiest and most sparkling dramas in the language. The cast is altogether very excellent. Miss Reynolds, as Lady Teazle, being the veritable embodiment of elegance and vivacity. Mr. Chippendale never ap pearing in our recollection to greater advantage— in his accustomed role as another of those testy old stage gentlemen of whom William Farren was wont for so many years to be the wholly unapproachable representative—than in the arduous, but when once mastered, inimitable part of Sir Peter Teazle : the quondam old bachelor, fretted by the perverse humours of a pretty young wife into the most peevish rand irrascible of antiquated bridegrooms. Besides these two very conspicuous personages in the drama—each as we have said very happily re presented in the Haymarket cast—fancy the dry preposterous hunaourglancing out of the corners of the compressed mouth and out of every gleam of the serious eyes of Mr. Compton as Crab tree ! Fancy the roars of laughter provoked by the irresistible look, voice, walk, dress, deport ment of Mr. Buckstone as Sir Benjamin Backbite ! Fancy Miss Talbot showing new powers, never guessed at before, through her sarcastic raillery as Mrs. CaTdour! Fancy Mrs. Poynter unexpectedly " topping" all her past successes by her clever and caustic impersonation of Lady Sneerwell ! Of the Sir Oliver Surface of Mr. Rogers, we regret we can say nothing more than that it was rendered chiefly conspicuous by a very speckled costume, a very husky tone, and a very boisterous manner. The Joseph Surface of Mr. Howe was—as the most indifferent of that skilled and experienced actor's performances cannot fail to be—singularly pains ' taking, and, therefore, singularly commendable. 1 -Even Mr. W. Farren, who is steadily and percept ibly improving, wins the applause of his auditors in the little part of Sir Barry, by his agreeable carolling of a familiar old convivial ditty. Mr. Clark, too, a favourite old actor of the " littlest" parts in the world, the mere servants and messengers who fetch and go upon the stage, but who contrives in these " very little" parts never by any chance to step upon the boards without raising a laugh—has his audiences fairly shaking their sides, night after night, by his freaks and oddities as Moses. Miss E. Sabine manages somehow to look at once pretty and awkward, in the character of that tamest of tame " walking ladies," Maria. Trip is altoge ther intolerable. Rowley, as he should be, just respectable. Snake, sleekly disreputable and bash fully impudent. Careless, a good-looking nobody of a mock-auctioneer. While, to crown all, there remains to be spoken of the light-comedy hero of the whole sparkling drama—Charles Surface, por trayed just now, at the little theatre in the Hay market, with uncommon vivacity, and in the most glossy and radiant attire imaginable, by the new American actor ; Mr. Murdoch. A. gentleman who happens nowadays to be about the very best im personation the stage possesses of those riant, gay, delightful sparks represented of old with such matchless grace and animation by the unapproach able and incomparable Robert William Elliston. As ill-luck would have it, Mr. Murdoch looks just a trifle too old for Charles Surface, and a trifle too large, and a trifle too loud. Otherwise his per formance is capital—at moments quite delightful. So, Haymarket. no o w , too, rep werese may remark ntedonth of the wholethe eboardsof comedy as A THICKHEAD.

The fire-engines from Doncaster were sent for , and they arrived at 1 o'clock, within an hour after the conflagration had comicenced, but too late to be of any service, the whole of the stacks having by that time been burnt. A powder-flask was subse quently found near one of the stacks, and there is not the least doubt Vat the fire was the work of an incen diary.

A new fairy burletta entitled The Elves, or the Statue Bride, was produced here last evening for the first time, and met with the most triumphant success. The princi pal idea in the piece is not new. It is evidently founded on a ballot that was produced some years ago at Drury lane Theatre under the title of the Marble Maiden The plot of The Elves is simply this :—A. certain noble man, who imagines himself entirely "used up," happens, while out hunting one day, to see a beautiful marble statue, with which he falls desperately in love. The fairy-queen, in order to punish his railing against woman kind, endows the statue with life, and at the same time gives four roses to the nobleman, with which he can bestow upon his lady-love speech, reason, grace, and love, but the penalty he is to pay for -using each rose is to become ten years older on the giving of a rose. The rest of the story is soon told. The nobleman parts with all his roses, finds himself a tottering old man, and the love he hoped to gain is bestowed upon a younger rival. In a fit of jealousy he plunges a knife into the bosom of his statue bride, and she again becomes marble. The younger lover implores the Elf-Queen to restore the life that has been taken away, and she complies with his request; Sylvia is made mortal, and all ends happily. There is a comic underplot, which is capitally sustained by Mr. Wright and Miss M. Keeley. The Elves has been placed upon the stage with great taste and judg ment, the scenery, dresses, and the whole of the ap pintments are gorgeous in the extreme, and at the fall of the curtain the applause was enthusiastic. Madame Celeste announced the piece for repetition every evening until further n otice. Asri,mrs AMIfPHITHELTIIE. A new equestrian drama has just been produced at this theatre, founded on, and bearing the name of, Mrs. Beecher Stowe's last work, " Dred ; or, a tale of the Dismal Swamp." The story is tolerably closely followed, and the introduction of the horses adds greatly to the verisimilitude of the scene—especially in the closing act. To attempt to at all describe the plot of a story so well known would be useless. We need, therefore, only say that the drama has been well put upon the stage, and we can prophesy for it a regular Astley's run, which is gene rally at least half a season, with plenty of revivals in prospect. Mr. J. Holloway played the fugitiVe slave "Dred " with great force. The other characters were also well sustained, and some of the scenery was of a su perior order to that generally seen in a minor theatre. The entertainments are nightly brought to a close by the " Scenes in the Circle," in which Miss Kate Cooke reigns supreme as a " bright particular star." No ma nager does more to insure success than Mr. Cooke, and it is gratifying to find his efforts rewarded by crowded ho uses. LAW AMENDMENT SOCIETY. A general meeting of this society took p lace last evening at their room', 3, Waterloo-place—the Right Hon. Lord Brougham in the chair. The minutes of the laet meeting haring been read and confirmed, Lord BROUGHAM wished to bring a subject of con siderable importance before the society. He had been informed by Lord Lyndhurst that it was not the inten tion of the Government to proceed during the next ses sion of Parliament with Sir Fitzroy Kelly's measure in reference to the Ecclesiastical Courts. This was a sub• ject of much regret to his lordship, inasmuch as it was to be feared that any new measure to be propounded by the Government would be less effective than that which it would supersede. He had been in correspondence with Sir Fitzroy Kelly on the subject, and the council of the society bad passed a resolution that it should be referred 'to a committee to consider and report thereon. His lordship moved that that resolution be confirmed by the meeting. This was agreed to, and the committee formed ac cordingly. Mr. HASTINGS, the secretary, read a report of a com mittee on law reporting, which suggested that an official record of all judicial decisions should be undertaken by the Government, and 801,1 to the public at a moderate price, it being supposed that all expenses of publication would be defrayed by such sale. Mr. M A M WEENmoved that th e report be received. Mr. Sergeant GASELEIC strongly protested against Go vernment undertaking such a subject as an official rec.)rd of j udicial decisions. So far from it c , educing to ex pedition it would be far otherwise, and for numerous other reasons he thought su c h a step most injudicious. After some discussion o n th e subject the motion was adopted. Mr. Sergeant WOOLAYeII moved a resolution to the effect that all bills introduced into Parliament ought, af:er paQsing through committee, to be referred to an officer for rerisz•.)n and preparation, subject to the third reading, for the• public service ; and that until the ap pointment of such officer that society should receive, for the purpose of such revision and preparation, any bill originated by, or under the care of, any member of Par liament who is a member of the society —every effort being made to ittarry out the utmost economy of language in such acts. The further . 3 onsideration of this subject was deferred, and the meeting adjourned. It is underilood (says, ilerapath) that the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company oan divide at the rate of 7 per cent, on the present half, year, but whether they will divide the whole , or re commend to m a k e a reserve f u r th e nex t half, is not yet determined. LATEST NE WS. AN ENGLISH GUN-BOAT FIRED UPON. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 10. An English gun-boat, having pursued into the Sea of Azoff some Russian sloops which had cap. tured Turkish vessels engaged in smuggling salt, was fired upon by the fort of Yenikale. The English interdict the approach of Russian ships to the Isle of Serpents. The check experienced by the Persians before Herat is insignificant. Intelligence from St. Petersburg states that a considerable corps of Russian troops is concen trated on the frontiers of Persia and Turkey, to give effect, in case of need, to the iniluence of Russia, if the affairs of Persia and Affghaniatan should assume a serious character, The New German Gazette of Berlin says : "We learn from a good source that the Eng lish Government has officially notified to the Cabinets of Paris, Constantinople, and Vienna, that the English fleet, now in the Black Sea, will pass the winter at Sinope. No notifica tion to that effect has been made to Russia, because no doubt the declaration of Lord Strat ford de Redcliffe to Baron de Boutenieff, that the English fleet will remain in the Black Sea until Russia shall have completely executed the treaty of peace, is considered sufficient." A letter from Vienna, in the Cologne actzette, • says :—" It is certain th a t the relations between Russia and Austria have become of a very delicate character, and that the petty vexations to which Prince Esterhazy, ambassador at the coronation, was subjected at the Court of Russia, have contri buted to cool those previously existing between the two courts. It is a fact that since the return of Prince Esterhazy the sympathies of the high Austrian aristocracy for Russia have greatly di minished." The Paris Correspondent of the Times (Second Edition), in his letter dated yesterday, says : "M. An'onini, the Neapolitan Ambassador, is still here, though he has his passports., There is no day fixed for his departure ; and he seems to linger willingly on the scene of his past glories. While one diplomatic luminary is setting, another makes his brilliant appearance on the verge of the horizon. Count Kisseleff, who is now the recog nised Ambassador of Russia at the Court of th( Tuileries, will receive to-morrow and the day altor the members of the diplomatic corps. He will then fairly enter on the winter campaign." The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post (Second Edition) says : " I have reason to believe that the assertions of the Nord, which declare Russia willing to give up the Island of Serpents and the Bolgrad difficulty, are not correct. It is, however, possible that the Cabinet of St. Petersburg may have made propo sitions on these disputed articles of the treaty, which are not likely to be accepted in Paris or London. " We get a strange report from Naples by tele• graph, which says the Government is about to make a free port of Naples. This is highly im probable, for the Customs duties are one of the chief resources of the revenue. The city was tranquil on the 12th." We extract the following from the letter of the Times' (Second Edition) correspondent at Vienna, dated Nov. 15 : " Not only is the Prussian Government opposed to England, Austria, and Turkey in the Bes sarabian frontier question, but Baron von Man teuffel is endeavouring to consolidate the friendly relations which have recently been established between the Russian and French Cabinets. It is also related that the Prussian Minister-President speaks and acts as if the alliance between Russia and France were a fait accompli. "Your particular attention is called to the foregoing information, as it is from an excel lent Prussian source, and was communicated to me with the remark, that it might be well that the British nation should know who was its friend and who its foe. My informant ex pressly stated that the Prussians as a ❑ation abhorred the very idea of an alliance with France, and had a strong bias in favour of England. If it still asserted that the question of the resump tion of the Paris Conferences is far from being settled, and the positive assurance has to-day been given me that the Emperor Francis Joseph has expressed himself to the effect, that it will not be his fault if the stipulations of the Treaty of Paris are not fulfilled. The animosity of Russia towards this country increases from day to day, and Count Buol and his Imperial master are hated by the Muscovites with a perfect hatred. Not long since a Russian of rank expressed his conviction that Count Buol would be insulted, if not seriously ill-treated, should he ever venture to appear in the streets of St. Petersburg. The same person was also of opinion that Sir Hamilton Seymour ' would be torn to pieces' (zerrissen) if he went to Russia." From Spain we learn that the fusion between the Carlists and the reigning branch of the Spa nish Bourbons is advancing towards its conclusion, but without the concurrence, or, perhaps, the knowledge of General Narvaez. FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY EVENING. The Emperor gave an audience to Baron Dire kinck de Ilolmfeld, who presented to his Majesty letters accrediting him as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the King of Den mark. The Emperor also received a letter from the Queen of Spain, announcing the birth of a daughter to her sister, the Duchess de Moutpen sier.

NEUCHATEL. A letter from Frankfort of the 13th, in the hamburg News, says :—" The following steps will, it is reported to us, be made by Prussia in the Neuchatel question. M. de Savigny, Prussian envoy to the Swiss confederation, will shortly leave Sigmaringen for Berne, in order to read before the council a note relative to the release of the prisoners. This note will be firmly supported by the Austrian Minister, M. de Monshengen ; the Bavarian Minis ter, M. de Malzan ; and the representative of Baden, M. de Dusch. In the event of these diplomatic steps not being attended with success, the Prussian Government has the intention of marching three corps d'arme,c against the frontier cantons, and of seizing on Schaffhausen as a pledge. Switzerland would be called upon to pay the expenses of this expedition. It is hoped that the mission of Gee• Dufour to Paris will have a favourable result, for it is thought that the French Government will recommend conciliatory measures to the genera!, who, in his turn, will impress the necessity of their adoption on the minds of his fellow-citizens." TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 7.—SOM severe storms had occurred in the waters of the Levant. The Einporor of Russia had forwarded the decorat ion of the White Eagle to Ismael Pacha, General-in - Chief of the Turkish army in Asia, in consideration .)f the kindly manner he had acted towards the Russian prisoners at Kars. Three hundred vessels, laden with grain, coming principally from the ports of the Danube, had passed through the Bosphorus► al their way to the Adiiatic, Marseilles, and Eng land. The port of Suez presented au animated tppearance, and a new service of steamers was being prepared ; those employed on the line from Suez to Djeddah made the passage in five days. . SEBASTOPOL. A letter from the Crimea, dated the 25th ult.! :and written by a French officer, says :—No project has been adopted by the Imperial governmen t for again raising the defensive e orks of Sebastopol , or for again &ting out a fleet. The vess e ls of War suuk in the roadstead and in the port have not • been got up. The only thing that has been done has been to endeavour to clear the entrance so as to allow merchant vessels to pass in an° . out. The masts and rigging of the line •of-battl e ships have been removed, but the hulls are a° deeply embedded in the sand that it is impossible to raise them. Divers who have gone down stat e that several of the bulls have almost entirely dig' appeared in the sand and mud. As regards corn' coerce, the port of Sebastopol is abandoned for that • of Kamiesh, which is found much more conveni ent.
