CITY, Two o'(%Loot The Live r p oo l C otton Market yesterday closed With a quiet, yet steady aspect, compared with the current rates of last week. The sales were esti mated at 8,000 bales, 2,500 of which were taken b y the exporters, and 500 by the speculators. The Railway Share Market manifested an active ap- Pearance, and prices of all the leading stocks ad- Itanced from -/ 2 to 1 per cent, on Wednesday's rates. Tho Colonial Produce Markets this week have been rather quieter, but a fair demand has never theless existed for most of the principal staples. Sugar has b een d u ll , purchasers having refused to give the full prices demanded by importers. Coffee has been in steady request, but plantation Ceylon 14 rather cheaper. Cocoa has been heavy. Tea has be en qu i et, and rice at slightly reduced quota tions. Saltpetre is dull at a decline of 6d. per ? w t.) and for Cochineal there has been very little 4inquiry, In Spices there has not been m uc h ac 'lllV, and prices have remained without variation. Tallow has realised former values. The Indigo Bales, consisting of 67,633 chests, terminated yes terday. Account s f rom Berl i n of the 28th inst. state that th e, recent t rea ' cy entered into by Prussia and Aus tri• a, for th e purpose of facilitating the business of t h e customs' on the frontiers of the two countries, tlas be en completely annulled by the unwillingness ° i f _ t he Aust r i an of fi c i als to carry ou t t h e sp i r i t o f "'le treaty ; and it is considered that the only way of effectually assisting the trade between Prussia and A ustria is to admit the latter State into the Zoll sverem Union. The Prussian Minister of Finance has recommended to the municipalities to choose fo r of th e fi rst c l ass to f orm th e commissions ler calculating the impost dues.

IYilliant James Robson was again placed at the bar, the case being set down in the ordinary course for trial to-day. Mr. Gifford applied to their lordships to postpone the trial till next sessions, on an affidavit that had been sup plied to the solicitor for the prosecution. That affidavit, sworn to by Mr. J. G. Lewis, of Ely-place, Holborn, the prisoner's attorney, stated that the prisoner was committed on 13th October last on two cases of larceny, and that he (Mr. Lewis) had only been retained for the defence within the last ten or twelve days. Hearing it rumoured that other indictments were to be preferred against the prisoner, he wrote on Friday last to the solicitor for the prosecution to be furnished with the particulars of the charges. Late on Satur day night he received an answer in reply, and on Monday at an interview with the prisoner he informed him of the nature of the communication. Want of information on the multiplicity of charges to be preferred against the prisoner, and the number of cases the deponent had to attend to this session, prevented him from making the necessary inquiries, and the effect of pressing on the trial this session would be that the prisoner would be undefended. The letter received from the prosecutor's solicitor enumerated the charges which were to be preferred against the prisoner for stealing eight certificate shares, belonging to Mr. Robertson, of Leith ; five do., belonging to John Bond and Jonathan Dun, and the various charges of forgery, amongst which was one for forging the name of " G. Grove," at the back of a check for 3611. 14s. 6d. These charges were to be supported by 20 witnesses, and probably more, the names of whom were communicated to Mr. Lewis in the same letter. The late hour at which that com munication was received on Saturday night had pre cluded him from making the necessary inquiry into the nature of the charges and the evidence by which they were to be supported. He (Mr. Gifford) hoped their lordships would not allow this trial to be forced on under the circumstances, and the prisoner deprived of being defended. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine said the prosecution had no unjust desire to press on the charges for trial against the prisoner, and he (Mr. Sergeant Ballantine) had no wish to press charges against persons in the unhappy position of the prisoner. It was, however, his imperative duty to do so on this occasion, in consequence of the nature of the charge and the great number of persons who had been brought from all parts of the country to give evidence on the trial, at a great expense to all concerned. The witnesses and the company feel that a postpon. ment of the trial would be of great injury and annoy ance to them, and the latter that they had an extra ground of complaint from the prisoner's conduct on the present occasion. He would call the attention of the court to two letters that had been forwarded to the company by Mr. Robson, and he thought their lordships would concur with him in thinking that the present course was adopted in an endeavour vexatiously to annoy the company, and to put them to further inconvenience and expense than be has already done. It was well known that Mr. Robson was taken into custody in another country, and when brought be fore a magistrate he was prosecuted by the Crystal Palace Company. At the last hearing Mr. Hawkins, barrister, who attended for the prosecution, expressed his willingness to adjourn the case for further investi gation, in order that the whole of the charges to be preferred against the prisoner might be first investigated before a magistrate, whereby the prisoner would be in possession of all the facts; but Mr. Robson, wishing to save as much publicity as possible, stated his desire that the charges should be got rid of as shortly . as possible, because he intended to plead guilty, and in con sequence of that two charges only were entered into, just sufficient to warrant the prisoner's committal, it being intimated to him at the time that others would be preferred against him at the Old Bailey. His answer to the affidavits put in was contained in two letters forwarded by the prisoner to the directors of the Crystal Palace Company. In the first letter he said—" May I ask, as 1 intend to plead guilty, and make every reparation in my power, whether it is not possible for me to be charged with one large offence, instead of many small ones ?" In conse quence the company, instead of indicting him on a num ber of charges of larceny as a servant, charged him with the committal of forgery, and it appeared rather extra ordinary that now, after they had complied with the prisoner's request, he should complain at their proceed. ing with the trial this session. In the other letter the prisoner said—" I intend to make no defence, but plead guilty. I shall pray for an immediate committal, as it will save the company much expense, and anxiety •to those few left who still love me." He thought it must be obvious to all who had heard the discussion on the application for the postponement of the trial, and who knew anything of the case, that no injury could by possibility be done to the prisoner by the trial proceeding in the ordinary course at the present sessions. He was ready to give prisoner's counsel every information con nected with the charges of forgery. He, therefore, felt bound, under all the circumstances, to object to the ap- plication. Mr. Gifford said that the letters which' had been read by Mr. Sergeantliallantine had reference to the charges of larceny, and not those of forgery ; and had the charges of larceny only been proceeded with, the prisoner would have pleaded guilty to them, but he had always pleaded not guilty to the charges of forgery. The objection to the postponement of the trial had varied since yesterday. Then it was founded on the illness of a material witness, but now it was based on the inconvenience of the direc tors and the witnesses. The guilt or innocence of the prisoner was not to be assumed by either side in this application—their only question fer consideration now being, whether the prisoner had bad sufficient time al lowed him to prepare his defence to the charge of forgery that had been preferred against him, and to inquire into the conduct and circumstances of the facts which up wards of 20 persons were to depose to. He thought he was entitled (not knowing the facts to which these wit nesses would depose) that the postponement of the trial till next sessions should be granted. Mr. Justice Erle said the application, ought to be re fused. It appeared to him that the ground of complaint on which the application was founded was brought about by the conduct of the prisoner himself. So far as he (Mr. Justice Erle) could gather from what had been stated, the whole of these charges would have been pre ferred against the prisoner at the polioe•court, where he would have heard the whole of the facts connected with them, had he not wished. to avoid publicity, and asked to be committed. Mr. Gifford said the.mageutors had not filed affidavits to that effect. Mr. Baron Martin—Bat there are the letters written by the prisoner, the authenticity of which can be proved. Mr. Gifford—Yes. Mr. Baron Martin—You should have objected to the non-production of affidavits by the prosecutors before the letters were read. Mr. Justice Erie said that what the' prisoner now complained of was the result of his own conduct. He Could not allow the consideration of the multiplicity of the engagements of an attorney engaged to defend a prisoner to 'be placed against the inconvenience of a number of persons summoned from different parts of the country, and compelled to attend here to carry on this prosecution. He did not apprehend the least in jury to public justice from the decision he had come to. A conversation took place between the learned coun sel when the trial should take ' place, and to-morrow (Saturday) was named, Mr. Gifford still protesting that by such a course the prisoner would virtually be un defended. ft was then suggested by the prosecution, and assented to by the court, that the trial should be proceeded with at once, and again that it should take place to-morrow (Saturday). Mr. Gifford asked if he understood rightly that the trial was then to proceed ? Mr. Justice Erie said he declined to proceed then with the trial. Mr. Gifford said he hoped his lordship would express an opinion that the prisoner should be supplied with the nature of the evidence to be brought against him. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine said he had no objection to do so, or, if the learned counsel wished it, he might read his brief. (Laughter.) Mr. Justice Erle—Will that satisfy Yuri, Mr. Gifford? Mr. Gifford—Yes, my lord. (Laughter.) The trial was accordingly fixed for tomorrow, to be taken by the Lord Chief Baron. POST LETTER STEALING, Timothy Jones, Joseph Jones, and George Hall Lawton, convicted of stealing post letters containing, money. The former, being the keeper of a receivin g h ouse , was sen t en ced to six years' penal servitude, the other two to four years' penal servitude each. FORGERY, &C. Thomas Clerk, a youth 15 years of age, but just high enough to look over the dock, was convicted of felo niously forging and uttering an order for 101. 10s., with intent to defraud Robert Cooper Lee Bevan, and others. The prisoner has been previously convicted of a similar offence. After forging the document in question he gave it to another boy to get cashed. Eli Lordship sontenoed the prisoner to four years' p?.nal servitude, and directed the authorities of the gaol to ascertain if either of the juvenile reformatories was applicable to his case. EMBEZZLE3IENT. The youth Pratt, who pleaded guilty on Wednesday to an indictment, charging him with embezzling. 981. 10s., the property of his employers, the directors of the Bank of Australia, was placed at the ,bar to receive sentence. It will be recollected that the prisoner had the money intrusted to Nina to procure stamps from Somerset-house, and that in the evening he was induced to enter a brothel in the City-road with the money in his possession, and was then robbed. His Lordship said that the prosecutors had pressed much in favour of the prisoner, and he was willing to believe that public justice would be satisfied, although lie had taken a considerable sum of money, the property of his employers, by the sentence he would pass on him. The company believed he had formed no preconcerted intention of taking the money, but that he yielded to circumstances at the time. He sentenced him to nine months' imprisonment, with hard labour. UTTERING FORKED 51. BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES. .Richard Crunzp Barford, convicted of uttering forged Si. Bank of England notes, was also brought up for judgment. The prisoner, a labouring man, 47 years of age, dressed in a white frock, and having the appearance of a smith, uttered four forged Si. Bank of England notes, at separate times, at a beef and ham shop in Leadenhall-street. His practice was to go to the shop, purchase a small quantity of ham and beef, and give a forged Si. note in payment, receiving about 4/. 18s. in change. On presenting the fifth note he was appre hended. Six years' penal servitude. THE CRYSTAL PALACE COMPANY AND THE STOCK EXCHANGE. In consequence of the resolution of the committee of the Stock Exchange declining to recognise any further dealings in the shares of the Crystal Palace Company, the directors have caused the following letter to be for warded to the committee : " Crystal Palace, Oct. 29. " Sir,—The directors have had under their considera tion to-day the resolution of the committee of the Stock Exchange, passed at their meeting on Monday last, to the effect that—' In consequence of the extraordinary conduct pursued by the directors of the Crystal Palace Company in denying the validity of transfers of shares which had been registered at the office of the company, the committee would not recognise any further dealing in the shares, and direct that the name of the company be struck out of the official list.' " I am directed by the board to say that the committee appear to have misapprehended their intention, which was only pending the inquiry into the extent and nature of the frauds in the transfer office, to give a general notice of the existence of an irregularity in regard to every transfer in which this was detected, but without drawing any inference or conclusion therefrom, as to the ultimate liability of the company in respect to the shares. " I am now, however, desired to state that our directors having had the whole subject under their anxious consi deration for some time, and having obtained thereon the opinion of eminent counsel, have determined that it is in cumbent on the Crystal Palace Company to recognise the transfers of all shares which have been duly entered in the register of shareholders, and upon which the usual certifi cate of registration of transfer has been issued. " Acting in accordance with the above, the shares thus on the register will be entitled to a dividend, and recog nised as shares in the company. " It is proposed to give legal effect to the adoption of these transactions by exercising to the requisite extent the power to raise additional capital vested in the company by the act of parliament of last session. " I am further desired to mention, for the information of the committee, that as the directors find that the exist ence of so large a number of shares—amounting to nearly 24,000—in the hands of a very numerous proprietary leads to great expense and intricacy, and also affords facilities for the commission of frauds of the nature of those lately practised, they have determined to exercise the powers also given them by the same act to consolidate the shares of the company into stock. " The directors, in conclusion, desire tie to express their hope that this explanation will be satisfactory to the com mittee, and that their resolution will not be confirmed. — I am, sir, your obedient servant, " GEO. GROVE, Secretary. " To the Secretary to the Committee of the Stock Exchange." MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.) CORN EXCHANGE. We have again to report the arrival of a very moderate supply of English wheat up to our market this week, coast wise and by land carriage. To-day the show of samples was limited. Those of prime qualities sold at Monday's currency, but other kinds met a dull inquiry, at that de cline in value. The imports of foreign wheat are only 10,960 quarters, but the supply on offer was tolerably extensive. Importers were very firm, but the amount of business doing was by no means large, at Monday's quotations. ... . Fine barley was scarce, and quite as dear as on Monday. Low qualities met a dull inquiry. The malt trade ruled steady, at late rates. We had a dull inquiry for oats, and damp parcels were rather chewer. Beans, piaas, and four realised Monday's quotations. 1 Wheat. Barley. I Malt. I Oats.

The show of beasts in to-day's market was very moderate, and most breeds came to hand in poor condition. On the whole, the beef trade ruled steady, at pricas fully equal to those realised on Monday. Although the supply of sheep was limited, the mutton trade was in a sluggish state, at unaltered quotations. Prime calves were in fair request, at fully late rates; but inferior qualities wore dull. In the value of pigs no change took place. Mulch cows were very dull, at from 141. to 191. each, in cluding their small calf. Per Sibs to sink the offal'. s. d. s. d. I s. d. 8. d.

COLONIAL. TEA.—At the public sales prices generally ruled firm. Common congou realised 91d, and good congou is per lb. The only green teas disposed of were common mixed leaf grey hyson, which sold low, viz., 9A to 10d per lb. The demand for the finer qualities was not•aotive. SUGAR—There has been a very limited demand for home consumption, and but few transactions have been reported for exportation. Colonial descriptions maintained previous -quotations, but foreign may be described as somewhat lower. Cuba Muscovado com to fine yellow 46s 6d to 48s ; Havannah fine brown 46s Cd to 475; low to good yellow, 47s 6d to 495. Bengal realised 374 per cwt. COFFEE.—A better demand has been exhibited for Plan,- tation Ceylon, and a fair business has been done at fully previous prices. Fair qualities of Jamaica have been much inquired for, at firm rates. Native Ceylon has been steady at previous rates. RICE.—The market has been very quiet, with little or no alteration in prices to notice. Fine Carolina realised 28s to 29s per cwt. Rum.—No business of any importance has been done ; holders, however, continue to demand full prices. SPICES.—A ♦ery limited business has been done, and previous quotations have been barely sustained. SALTPETRE.—At the public sales prices did not improve for Bengal, but good fine Bombay met a ready sale at fully former values. Bombay 12i lbs refraction brought 335, 28# to 394 lbs refraction, 32s Od per cwt. COCHINEAL—There is no change to notice in this article. Prices continue steady with a very limited demand. INDIGO.—The public sales closed yesterday. There has been a good demand for the most of the consuming quali ties, and Kurpahs advanced 3d to 6d per lb on low quali ties, and 6d to 9d on the finer descriptions. The quantity offered has been 17,633 chests, of which 6,451 have been withdrawn, 3,885 bought in, and 7,294 sold. TALLOW.—The market has ruled firm. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted 57s 6d, and spring 56s 9d to 57s per cwt. CRYSTAL PALACE.—One Shilling Day.—Thursday. —Admissions on payment, 1,574 ; ditto by season tickets, 435. Total visitors, 2,09. APPROACIING BREVET.—A brevet for services in the Crimea will shortly be promulgated. It is to be hoped that advantage will be taken of this opportunity to in clude officers who have hitherto been passed over, or very inadequately rewarded. We could mention nume rous cases of peculiar hardship, and, as an exemple, call attention to that of Major Sargest, late of the 95th Regiment, who served through the whole of the great siege, from the first landing, and was present in all the actions, receiving for his services only the rank of major, so late as the commencement of the pre sent year. Major Sargent brought his regiment out of action at Inkerman, and was twice wounded. By taking the substantive rank he is necessarily placed on half-pay, and thus the country is deprived of his services. The gallant officer, having commanded the regiment at Inkerman, could for that service claim the brevet step of major, and was entitled to be made a brevet lieutenant-colonel at the close of the siege. Certain we are that the facts have only to be laid before the Commander-in-Chief to receive the full con sideration of his Royal Highness.—Oo/burn'er United Service lir oggine.

H.M.S. Hannibal, 91, screw two-decker, Capt. C. J. D. Hay, at Spithead, is ordered to complete her arma ment (she left some of her guns at Malta), and send her paybooks to Somerset-house. She will most probably be "paid down" and sent on further service. The hired sailing transports Typhoon, Capt. Morris, with commissariat stores ; Lady Valiant, Capt. Mont gomery, with anchors, chains, and machinery ; and Cceur de Lion, Capt. Clendon, with sundry stores, all from Constantinople, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning. Among the Crimean troops who were yesterday dis charged at St. Mary's barracks, Chatham, on account of wounds or i n j ur i es received during the Russian war, was Colour-Serjeant Timothy Murphy, of the Ist battalion of the Rifle Brigade. He served in the Caffre wars of 1846 and 1847, and 1852 and 1853, for which he received a medal. He was also present at the action against the insurgent Beers, at Boem-Plaats, on the 29th A ug., 1849, where his conduct was brought under the notice of the Commander-in-Chief. He was present at the action against the Basouta chief, Mo shesb, at Berea, on the 20th Dec., 1852. On the breaking out of the Russian war he was sent with the Rifle Brigade to the Crimea, where he served during the whole of the campaign, having been presentat the bat tles of Alma, Balaklava, and Inkerman, and also at the final assault on Sebastopol, for which he is decorated with the Crimean medal with four clasps. He has also been granted a silver medal for distinguished conduct in the field, and more especially for his remarkable gallantry at the battle of Inkerman. On his extraordinary bravery being brought under the notice of the Emperor of the French, his Majesty immediately nominated him a Knight of the Legion of Honour, in addition to which he received the sum of 51. from the Emperor and Lord Raglan for distinguished gallantry in the field. His case has also been represented to her Majesty, who has ap pointed him to a situation at the Tower. In addition to his pension, he has been presented with a gratuity of 151., and it is understood that he will also receive an annuity as one of the Knights of the Legion of Honour. The troops belonging to the Corps of Royal Engineers and the East India Company's Sappers and Miners at Chatham are undergoing a course of instruction in the use of the Lancaster rifle under Lieutenant G. R. Lempriere. Yesterday the largest draught, of troops ever dis charged at Chatham left St. Mary's Barracks, an order having arrived for the immediate discharge from the ser vice of those non-commissioned officers and men who had been recommended by the board of commissioners from Chelsea Hospital; which recently assembled at Chatham. The number who ware yesterday discharged amounted to 237 non-commissioned officers and men. DEPARTURE OF THE MERRIMAC. SOUTHAMPTON, OCT. 30. The United States' steam frigate Merrimac sailed to day for Brest, proceeding thence to Lisbon, Cadiz, and the West Indies. On the eve of the departure of this noble ship of war Captain Prendergast and those of the officers who were not present at the late banquet given by Mr. Andrews, the Mayor, were entertained at dinner by his worship at his country seat, near Winchester. Thoy were conveyed thither in two carriages and pairs, and during the afternoon visited the cathedral, the col lege, the hospital of St. Cross, and other objects of inte rest. The Mayor also took his visitors to Hursley, distant from Winchester about four miles, and the antiquities connected with the village greatly delighted and inte rested the American gentlemen. On their return to Winchester they were most generously entertained by his worship, and during the evening Captain Prendergast( acknowledged in most grateful language the kindness-h e had received at all hand s d ur i ng h i s short sojourn in England, and regretted that his anxiety to visit the lions of the island should have been the means of de priving him of his share in the generosity and attention which had been so specially paid by the people of South ampton to the gentlemen connected with his ship, and more particularly by his worship the mayor. The officers of the Merrimac leave behind them the best recollections of their kind and attentive courtesy to all classes of the inhabitants, by whom they have been most hospitably received. Yesterday afternoon thd South-Western Company's steamer Despatch conveyed a party of gentlemen, consisting of dock directors, and others officially connected with the port, to view the Merrimac previous to her departure. They were most politely received, and every attention was shown them by the officers in charge of the vessel, who exhibited and explained the peculiarities in the construction of this fine ship, compared with r hers of less recent date. Many regrets were express._ 1 that the time had arrived for them to quit Southampton Waters, and their hope was that they might again shortly visit this coast so as to enable them to testify their appreciation of the many attentions and hospitalities they had received from all persons. MURDER IN SHREWSBURY. SHREWSBURY, THURSDAY. A murder, arising from the use of a knife, was com mitted here last night by a young man named John Hollis, who cohabited. with a woman named Annie Usher, better known as "Annie Laurie." Hollis has been in the habit of ill-using Annie, and on more than one occasion has been brought before the magistrates and punished. Last night, about half-past ten o'clock, he went into the Market-square, where he saw Usher dancing with a young man named Clewett. He approached her and abused her for her conduct, He had a knife in his hand, and attempted to strike her, but he was pre vented. The girl then struck Hollis three times, and a man who was near felled him to the ground. The girl theri ran away across the Market-square, near the Plough Inn, where she met a man named Benjamin Bromley, with whom she stopped to converse. Pre sently one or two others joined them, and in the caurse of a few minutes Hollis joined them, and attempted to strike the girl, but failing to do so he kicked her, whereupon she struck him and ran away. Pritchard, one of the party, now went up to Hollis ' and, hold ing up his fist, challenged him t o fights; but Bromley stepped forward and cried out, "No ; I have only one arm like him, and I will fight him." He thereupon shook his fist in Hollis's face. The latter observing that two against one was not fair, struck Bromley a blow in the chest. Bromley reeled and fell into the gutter, while Hollis immediately ran off. After Hollis had given the blow it was noticed that he had a knife in his hand. Bromley, who had ut tered no word of exclamation of any sort, was picked up, and died immediately. He was taken to the in firmary, when it was discovered he bad received a deep wound, about three-quarters of an inch in length, near the region of the heart. Information was at once conveyed to the police, who in about half an hour succeeded in capturing Hollis. The prisoner Hollis was brought up to-day before the magistrates. When charged with the murder of the deceased man, Bromley, he made no reply, nor was any one present to defend him. He maintained a calm composure , during the examination of the wit nesses, but he nevertheless seemed to feel acutely the position in which he was placed. He was remanded until next Tuesday, in order that the evidence against him may be completed. An inquest will be held on the deceased, Benjamin Bromley, to-morrow. He was about 30 years of age, and obtained a livelihood by fishing and working as a labourer. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.)

Tyrrhene and the Tuscan seas, a work of evident utility, and promising important advantages. A gentleman a few nights ago was nearly successfully I " garotted " in the Gray's-inn-road, in the vicinity of St- Andrew's Church-yard. The state of darkness in which this place is during the night is a disgrace to the parish.

(From the Times.) The reputation of Russia has gone through three several phases during the last four years. At first she appeared highly politic and highly formidable, ready alike with force or fraud, bullying the weak and overreaching the strong with one inflexible purpose always in view, to which e ver y o th er thought and consideration was sternly subordinat ed. That she might domineer over Germany, threaten Turkey, and terrify Persia, Russia was content to cling to an obsolete commercial system, to keep her people in slavery and indigence, and to sacrifice the plough, the loom, and the hammer to the nu-disputed supremacy of the sword. War came, and showed the Russian character under nobler and more elevating influences. In stead of the spirit of aggression, we have the spirit of patriotism, instead of foreign invasion the defence of home, and we beheld, not without re spectful admiration, a great nation struggling des perately against the almost insuperable obstacles which her own defective organisation had raised against her, and almost supplying by prodigious efforts and sacrifices the want of the appliances of modern science, and of those aids which the arts of peace must lend to the arts of war. Russia has now entered into a third and totally novel phase of development,— " The bustling vigour and rough frown of war Is cold inanity and painted peace." She has been forced to yield because her means of transport were exhausted, because her armies perished in interminable marches, and all the re sources that she had stored up for the destruction of a barbarous enemy proved inefficient against the hostility of nations better organised and better civi lised. The genius of barbarism looked civilisation in the face, and was rebuked before her. It might have been expected that a loss which had been sustained without disgrace would have been borne with dignity, and that Ruisia, yielding to an inevitable destiny, would have turned her whole at tention to the arts of peace, and left the victors in the conflict to play undisturbed the most promi nent part on the public stage. But those who ex pected this knew little of the character of the Rus sian Government,. A profound dissimulation bears no inconsiderable part in the policy of this semi oriental people. Having been defeated the first and dominant idea of Russia seems to have been to pre tend that she has not. Like persons in society who take liberties which everybody feels but no body is exactly inclined to resent, Russia is labour ing hard to present before Europe and the world the character of a Power that has come out of the war on a perfect equality with the other belliger ents. In her anxiety to avoid the renewal of hos tilities she persuaded the allies to leave certain ques tions to be dealt with after the signature of peace. Others were necessarily in that condition from the impossibility of executing them at that moment. No attitude can be less creditable than that which Russia has assumed with regard to these questions. She has seized, without a colour of right or justice, upon the Isle of Serpents, and has only been coun teracted in her attempts by an occupation by the Turks in greater force than her own. She was bound to deliver up to the allies the fortresses of Kilia, Ismail, and Kars. , The conditions were performed by dismantling and destroying the forti fications and delivering over the ruins to the allies. Russia was pressed to rectify the frontier of Beasa- r rabia. By the production of maps wilfully falsified she entirely misled the Congress of Paris, and induced them to assent to a frontier impossible and inexplicable. _ The six months fixed by the treaty have expired, and most of the conditions imposed upon Russia are as yet unper formed. In addition to this, she has issued an insolent and even threatening manifesto, in which she warns the allies to desist from their attempts to improve the condition of Naples, and even hints at a recourse to ulterior measures if her remon strance be not attended to. As if all this were not enough in the way of paltry vexation and safe bravado, Russia is now about to send a squadron to the Bosphorus, iu order to take advantage of the wrong she has already committed to perpetrate a fresh wrong. Because she has not performed. the conditions imposed upon her by the treaty the allies have been compelled, much against their will, to keep their fleets in the Black Sea ; and because their fleets remain in the Black Sea, owing to her default, Russia is, we are informed, about to demand from Turkey that her fleet should also be allowed to enter those neutral waters. Let nobody suppose, nevertheless, that Russia has not - been defeated in the late war, or that she is in any condition to resume it. Were this really the case, were these the provocations of an enemy only seeking to renew the conflict from which he has been forcedfor awhile to to tire,theymight alar m but could not disgrace us. But nothing is further from the intention of Russia at this moment than to provoke a second war. As they begin to say of the Emperor, she has the wish, but not the will. All these acts or actings are intended for the benefit of the minor Courts of Europe, to give them an excuse for believing, or still pretending to believe, that Russia is still unconquered, still able to protect them against their subjects, still competent to ex tend their lease of tyranny and misrule. All that can be done short of affording to the allies an ex cuse which would justify them in the eyes of their subjects in renewing the war will be played off by this histrionic and unscrupulous Power. "We only regret" the mod era ti on w hi c h l e d us to con- clude the struggle as soon as we had gained the exact amount of advantage,necessary for our ob ject, instead of protracting it until our superiority was not only obtained, but so notorious as to be in. capable of misrepresentation. DEATH OF THE EARL OP SCARBOROUGH. We have to record the death of the Right Hon. John Earl of Scarborough, which took place at his seat, Sandbeck-park, near Tickhill, Yorkshire, on Wed nesday last. The deceased nobleman was the eighth Earl of Scar borough, and the lineal representative of a filch'y which traces its pedigree to a period considerably an terior to the Norman conquest. The family surname of Lumley is derived from a small place on the banks of the Wear, in the county of Durham. In the 7th year of Edward IV. George Lord Lamley was ap pointed high *sheriff of Northumberland. His _son R chard was summoned to Parliament in 1509 ; his BOA John Lord Lumley was one of the barons who in the year 1530, signed the letter to Pope Clement VII. for the divorce of Queen Catherine, and who six years afterwards figured in the "Pilgrimage of Grace," but his life was spared. His son George, who was concerned in the treason of Lord Darcy, Sir Thomas Piercy, and others, was not so fortunate, but was executed for his offence. The title was restored by act of Parliament in 1547, but on failure of the issue of the direct line, when the title was claimed by a Rev. Robert Lloyd, the House of Peers came to the re:olution that the act of attainder incurred by Georg e Lord Lumley was not reversed by the act of Parlia• ment. On the 31st of May, 1681, Richard, the se cond Viscount Lumley in the Irish peerage, was en rolled in the peerage of England, and on the 15th April following was created Earl of Scarborough. The third earl assumed the name of Saunderson, and in 17Y6 was made Viscount Castleton, of Sandbeck, in the county of York, and subsequently Earl of Cetstleton, but dying without issue his titles became extinct, and, his estates descended by will to Thomas Lumley. Richard, the fourth earl, married the sister and heir of Sir George Saville, at whose decease the Ruff trd estate came into the possession of the Scarb rough family. In the year 1765 he'was appointed Deputy Earl Marshal of England. • John, the s e v en th earl, who was born in 1761, tock • holy orders, and was a prebendary of York Cathedral.
