If any doubt could exist on this point, it must be dispellel by the discreditable attempts of Russia to take advantage of the wrongs committed by her own Representa 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 THEATRE ROYAL, IIA.YMARKET.

" I 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 March, and the unwarranted rejoicings for the ratification of the Precious Treaty, but rather to induce them firmly and unflinchingly to insist as 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 40,000,000/. 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 UTOII WATER.

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 1i14.4 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 of opulent firms that have been reduced to bank ruptcy by intermeddling with foreign schemes. Let our countrymen accept the warning while there is yet time. It weuld be a patriotic act on the part of the Committee of the Stock Ex change—one that would be deeply appreciated by the great majority of the people-44 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 families, and prevented the tears of widows and orphans from flowing copiously over blighted prospects and the endurance of the bitter privations inse parable from hopeless poverty. They have ,an important duty before them. Let us hope Ott they may exercise it with the care and discretion which its vast consequence so iruperativoly do , ma nds. Rub-a-dub—Rub-a-dub—Rub-a- dub.—At, 000 Reward I 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 varionMly reported as to be heard of at Knowsley Park, Hughenden Manor, Westwocd Park, and Powick Court, and even in certain brickfields in - Worcestershire. Whoever will give information to BENJAXIN D4S4AELI, 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 whore it is, and can produce it. Our neighbour, if fair to us, will down with the money 4 if not we shall take our revenge through Mr. ROEUME and the Ad ministrative Reformers ; and if we do that, the great Conservative party may as well take a nap for half a century or so, for there will not be even a civil-service clerkship to conserve. A 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 through. 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 comp. try green turned up with Protection gilt lace till '52 ; and it is country green still, but some have _Brummagem anti-Maynooth and Irish Church buttons, 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 at those who voted steadily and dead against, say, the Ballot, the Irish Church Committee, the The British Fleet still remains in the Euxine, I abolition of Church Rates, or Shipping Dues, or and will so remain until Russia has fully I and Limited Liability Bills.

The Coalition and the War Cabinets have both been as Conservative Cabinets as heart could wish. The difficur ty is, not to find where the great Conservative pi 6rty is, but where it is not. We should advise our disconsol ate friends to think of some good honest English name expres sive of the real character of the l ost party, and to try the effect of a little ma' oly outspokenness. For this last quarter of a car itury they have labelled themselves with the marAdlin epithet " Conserva tive," a long Latin word, all very well for West end clubs ; but what do tensiaits at will, old free men, and potwallopers know about " Conser vatism." As li7Lely as not they never saw any approach to tb a 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 g enerations had rallied to it, and it sounded like tiro quintessence of loyalty and nobleness ;—but it is gone, gone alas, with Lords EVON and CASTLEREAGH, 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. The 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 two—" 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-Church-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 I 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 sines 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 sof Reform may be dragged, if not stopped. Jour Bum, 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 DEES; 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 binder their upsetting despotism, and liberating nations by war, and their sweeping abuses too fast fade away, in peace. * "Dwellings of the Labouring Classes in the Metro polis." By Major• General G. B. THEMENHEERE. SVO., pp. 35. KNIGHT and Co., London. 1856. 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 execution 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 be honourably fulfilled.— Morning Post. It affords us (Stamfcrd 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. The subject selected by his lordship is the important one of "National Education." The Stamford Mercury says that Lady Franklin ar rived at Spilsby in company with the Rev. T. W. Booth, of Friskney, on Monday last. After looking over the house of correction, her ladyship paid a visit to the parish church, and made choice of a suitable place on the south side, near to the east end, on which to place a mural monument, to the memory of her lamented hus band, the late Sir John Flanklin. Amongst the latest arrivals at Raby Castle, the seat of the Duke of Cleveland, in this county, are the Duchess (Dowager) of Cleveland and Miss Rua- ell, Mr. and Lady Catherine Whyte Melvil'•, General Sir R. and Lady Clarges, Mrs. L. Fox, the Dean of Durham, Mr. H. Milbank, Lord and Lady Alvanley, &c. Mr. and Lady Augusta Milbank have left the castle for Italy, going Srst on a visit to Lord Brougham in the south of Fran ce.—Durltant ahronicle. An 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 HoatEs 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 Atari of SHAVES WRY, when Lord ASJILEY, 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 140 atmosphere can scarcer 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, where all the ills in PANICLCS box seem nested together without the faintest glimmering of a Hope at the bottom of it all. Dr. SOUTAVOOD SMITX has at once consoled and horrified us by his elaborate exposition of the "Results of Sanitary Improve ment." Mr. GEORCB GLOTtli. has contrasted with frightful vividness the " Common and Model Lodging Houses of the Metropolis." Mr. JOHN &wax, by his authoritative "Reports relating to the Sanitary Condition of London," may be said in a manner to have gauged the social horrors of the capital--eleaving us in his standard pages a mass of wholly unparalleled statistics—according us, let us still trust and believe, the long-desired woe cra) 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 epforcement of all that has been said and done by such pioneers in the good cause as Mr. SIMON and Mr. GLOVER, and Dr. SMITH, and Lord SHAFTESBURY, that General TituareN HEERE now addresses himself to the same theme— a theme of awful and grimly fascination. Con scious while so doing, as he himself here takes occasion to acknowledge (page 7), 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 of Parliament, and the efforts of benevolent Associations." If as is 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 induatrious classes, upon a subject spoken of by our gallant and humane pamphleteer, very forcefully, truthfully, and epigrammatically, as— " this matter of such im por lance to their moral well-being and their physical comfort." He recollects almost painfully at the very outset of his task how another reformer (Mr. azmoN), 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 " Who can wonder at what becomes, physically or morally, of infants born in these bestial crowds ?" General TREMENHEERE 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 uo more than The Chelmsford Chronicle states that on Monday afternoon, his Grace the Duke of Wellington, accom panied by the Rev. Edwin Sidney, rector of Cornard Parva, the zealous friend and advocate of the cause of the idiot, at whose house the duke was staying, honoured the Asylum for Idiots, Essex Hall, Colchester, with a visit. The across sea traffic of Sligo has so increased that additional steamers bare been put on between that place and Liverpool. A public meeting was held at Bourn on Wednesday last, for the purpose of adopting preliminary measures for the formation of a line of railway from Bourn to Essendine. Resolutions in favour of the proposed new railway were carried unanimously. Considerable progress is being made on the Yeovil and Weymouth section of the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway. The section is expected to be opened for passenger traffic before the end of the year. A grand concert is to take place at Exeter-hall on Monday evening next, at which Grisi, Mario, Formes, and several other distinguished vocalist, are to appear. The Belfast steam-shin Blenheim met with an accident yesterday off the coast of Man. Her mainshaft broke, and she thus became perfectly disabled. She was fallen in with and towed back to Douglas Harbour by the Ben-my-Chree. Six ladies were nearly drowned in the river Tert on Tuesday night, by an omnibus, in which they were re turning from a concert, mistaking the road during the fog. The Duke and Duchess of Bedford are receiving com pany at Woburn Abbsy. Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston are expected to arrive in town on Monday, from Broadlands. Sir Benjamin Hall has - returned to London from Llanover, South Wales. We regret to learn that the Earl of Orkney is' danger ously indisposed at Templemore, General Sir Alexander Woodford, who presided over the Chelsea inquiry, will be the new Lieutenant-Gover nor of Chelsea. Maj'r Hopkins, who has, daring the last seventeen years, held the office of Master of the Ceremonies, at Leamington, has been appointed a Military Knight of Windsor, as successor to the late Col. Sir John Milley Doyle, K.C.B. Mr. W. M. Thackeray has undertaken to deliver a course of lectures at the Hall Literary Institution in December, the subject will be " The Three Georges." Ristori is at Berlin, drawing crowded houses. The arrivals and departures at Ramsgate, by steamboat during the past season, have been 135,1100 persons. ORIENTAL BANK COZZOILVTION.—The directors of the Oriental Bank Corporation have declared a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum for the half-year end ing the 30th Jane last, payable on the Ist December, free of income tar.; Messrs. Joneq, Loyd, and Co. have notified that .on Thursday next their business will be carried on at the South Sea•hous% Threadneedle•street, until their pre mists at Lothbnry are rebuilt. The Chancellorship of the University of London has become vacant by the resignation of the Ear! of Bur• Luton. The University and Corporation of Cambridge have presented a handsome candelabrum, valued at 300 guineas, to the Right Hon. Sir John Patteson. Mr. Donald Nicoll is spoken of as likely to succeed Mr. Wilson in the representation of Westbury, if that gentleman accepts the office of Chairman of the Inland Revenue. Another murder has been committed in Tipperary. A working man named Kenner, in the employ of a ma gistrate, was waylaid and murdered near Ernly, on Sun day last. The murderer has not yet been di-covered. Great excitement was occasioned in Leicester on Sun day last by the report that a woman had been prema turely buried ; but the Stamford Mercury of yesterday says there is no truth in the rumour. The convict who effected his escape from Portland on Friday last has been re-captured. A stranger was chal lenged by a Guardsman, who threatened to shoot him if he did not stand. This man turned out to be the escaped convict. A serious attack was made on a mill near Bradford, belonging to Messrs. Taylor, on Thursday evening last, by a mob of about 2,000 persons. Damage to the extent of 1501. was committed. A dispute respecting the work hours was the cause of the outrage. The neighbouring mill at Saltaire was threatened, but a sufficient force was collected at the latter place to put down auy attempt. Highway robbery is on the inorease in the West Riding of Yorkshire, Mr. Hargreave of Cudworth being the last victim. This gentleman was robbed by three men on Wednesday night, near Oakwell-bar, of 121. Yesterday Mr. Brent held an inquest, ac the Colney Hatch Lithatic Asylum, on the body of Eliza Fuller, an inmate, who committed suicide in the institution by cutting her throat. A verdict of insanity was returned, with a recommendation that care be taken in collecting the knives used by the inmates during their meals. The inquiry into the fatal accident at Bryn Mally mine has been commenced by the Government. THE BISHOP OP NORWICH. —The Norfolk 61,mill:de of Friday evening discredits the rumours of the resigna tion of the Bishop of Nor ,vich, and says nothing has recently occurred that can have given rise to them. In most of the French corn markets an advance has taken place in the price of wheat. 'TIE EDINBURGH CRI3IEAN BANQUET.—The banquet to the Crimean soldiers in Edinburgh took place yester day in the Corn Exchange there. The event passed off with the most brilli a nt success. The ball w as magni ficently decorated, and the entertainment was of a most satisfactory character. The chair was taken by the Lord Provost, supported by the Earl of Elgin, Viscount Melville, Sir John Ms. Neil, and Colonels of the regiments in garrison. There were about 1,100 military guests, 400 civilians, besides 500 ladies, in the galleries. The speeches were animated and appropriate. The toasts were drunk with en th us i a sm, and the utmost order pre vailed throughout. The company separated at 10 o'clock. MlNES.—Great d u lness conti nu es to pervade the mining market ; and m ines, as well as prices of s hares, continue about the same, neither offering much to re mark upon. Nove m b er is generally an active month in mining, ant? we hope to have more business to report upon ere long,—Minidy Journal of titis clay. some 30,000 or 40,000 out of 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 aud Westmins ter ! As corroborative of the utter inadequacy of the reforms already accomplished, comes the recent disclosure of that Sink of social abomination near High Holborn—Plum-tree-court. Fully alive, therefore, to the magnitude of the evil remaining to be dissipated, Gen. TREMENHEERE undertakes, in 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, be was entrusted with the dutyof supervising the construe- Lion 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 of 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 ! NOVEMBE'R 1!356. LATEST N E WS. TRIESTE, Ocr. 31. Letters from Constantinople, of the 26th of October, state that, in reply to a question put by M. do 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 Rus3ia has ex empted Persia from the payment of the indemnity for tho war of 1827. The Paris correspondent of the Post (s3cond edition), in his letter dated yesterday, says : " News from Constantinople 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 scprdron 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 oarry out the treaty of Paris." The Paris correspondent of the Times (second edition) says " The cannon of the allies have remained silent before the laz4aroni of Naples, and France and England have bowed before the Neapolitan Pulcinello 1 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 ever 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 demand% 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 Piedmontsse.' The writer then expresses his belief that the Emperor Napoleon does not sanction the Murat intrigues. As for Piedmont it would in all likelihood be her ruin if her name were associated with anything of the kind. In sober sense and honesty,' con tinues the letter, would it not be a pre mature attempt at a scheme which may never even in future ages be realised I Would it not to be a lowering of Englaras 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 as 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, see 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 V FRAME* 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 read that speech, as they observe that it differs a little from that which King • Oscar delivered on previous similar occasions. Those who are 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 1844, 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 Journal dcs Darats of to-day has a long article on the Saadi 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 Debats 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 rest of Europe. A distinguished member of the S wedish Diet observed, same time since, with much truth, that the rank of States does not always depend on their extent, or on the numbers of their popula tion, but rather on their moral and material con dition and their social and political organisation.

NAPLES, Oct. 27.—After referring to the depar ture of the members of the British and French Legations, the correspondent of the Tim es says : — I do not expect a disturbance. My re asons for this expectation aro as follow :—The Liberal party are well convi nce d th at 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 viol ence o f t h e G overnment. Again, there is much more than force sufficient in the capital to crush the be-t 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 prc 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 vesiel the Congress, which was sent here at the request of the American Minister, left for Marseilles on Saturday pelt. The Susque, hannah (steamer) there joins her, and together they are to cruise on the cost of Africa. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, OCT. 28. The day before yesterday the Oesterreichische Cor hspondenz positively denied that the Porte had re quested Austria to evacuate the Danubian Princi palities, but information t )-day received induces me (correspondent of the Times) to belitv that the statements of the Pays, Patric, and Cowtitutionncl 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 h said to have been, that his Gc vernment considered it advisable to prolong the oc cupation of the Danubian Principalities until the Bessarabian 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 th• foregoing news was obtained at a non- Austrian source it is probably correct, as Count Buol 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 recommetided 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 he 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 tho firmness of M. Lombardini, the Minister of Finance of Parma. 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 steamer Atlantic. The steamships Ericsson, Lyonnais, and Borus sia, respectively from Liverpool, Havre, and Ham burg, arrived at New York on the 17th inst. The New York herald publishes the election re turns from all the counties in Pennsylvania. They show a majority of 613 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 ty several thousands. There were 11,00 U 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 tic to be voted for by the Fremont mei 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 despatch from Cin c i nna ti g i ves th e D emoc rats 11,000 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 districts have without doubt chosen Re publicans. There was a grand demonstration of the support ers of Fremont in tho 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 rater 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, and from 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 : " The Hamburg steam-ship 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 livening another wing broke off, and the strain of the shaft from the irregular motion of the other wing sprung the staffing box, causing the ship to leak very badly ; set the steam pump,' to work, lightened the ship astern,. and with fine weather, arrived this morning in tow of the steam-tug Achille?, and, on discharging . the cargo aft, found no damage. This vessel b ein g built in com psahretmnoenwtsl,iensoafteapriceor 2ult North o r felt th for River,the safety t o f the ship. water in her after compartment." Later advices from Savannah have been re ceived. They report that a formidable Spanish fleet was fitting out to enforce the claims of that country against Mexico, the previous report of the adjustment of this difficulty being erroneous. Spain was about to send an army from Savannah to l St. Domingo, for the purpose of o p erat i ng against the Republican movements for the freedom of the Dominicans against the rule of the Haytieu black Government. Five thousand muskets were ready to be sent to the Spanish Ciansul at St. Do mingo. _ _ The steam-ship Texas, from Aspinwall for New York, with 750 passengers, had put into Norfolk very leaky and short of provisions. .... The steamer Monmouthon the night o f th e 14th inst. ran into the brig Wind war d i n Chesapeake Bay, bound from Baltimore to New Orleans. The brig escaped with slight injury, but the Monmouth sprang a leak and in a short time sank. Nine per 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 shipmasters are treated by corrupt Peruvian officials. The condition of the Chinese labourers had 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. Th e crew were save d. President Pierc e arr i ve d a t W as hi ng t on o n the 16th inst. He was received at the railroad station by a large concourse of citizens and the officers of the District o f C o l um bi a R eg i men t, am id music and firing of cannon. Th e M ayor o f Washington delivered an a dd ress o f we l come , to which the President responded in brief, but eloquent terms. The President was accom p a nied 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 largo fire had occurred at Philadelphia, which destroyed property to the amount of about 200,000 dols. It broke out in a lumber yard, situated on the Delaware. Tho New York money market was without ma terial change. The banks generally, it w as sa id , were discounting to a fair extent for their ens towers, 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, tl o e o d, and bills on England were plentiful, with a de mand. The cotton-market r conti nue d fi rm, w i th sales at full prices. The flour -market was firm, with a fair amount of sales at about the previous day's quotations. .Wheat was lc. t o 2 c . d earer f or choice lots, red having sold as hi g h as $1 60 c . o $1 62c. ; and choice white C ana di an as hi g h as $1 74c. Indian corn was in good d eman d a t 69 c . t o 70c., with the chief sales at th e l atter fi gure. P or k ag ain advanced, with sales of mess at $22 50c., and prime at $lB 75c. to $l9. Sugars were firm, with sales of 1,100 to 1,200 hhd s . at f u ll pr i ces . C o ff e e was sold to a fair extent at f u ll pr i ces. O w i n g to the advance in breadstuffs and the increase in ship room freights for grain gave way for Liverpool, and engagerneut3 were made in bulk and bego at to Bd. Flour was taken at `. 7 8,, and cotton at 5-32 d. _ . The Courier and Inquirer contains the following in reference to monetary affairs : " It was supposed that the unfavourable tenour of a - vices from Europe would probably depress our stock- - market, but the reverse has occurred. Yesterday and to-day the market assumes a bqtter 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 g 109 i as extreme prices. Bills can be had a fraction lower. There is an obvious disinclination to purchasse or remit bills on France, or even on German pints," pending the unsettled condition of the markets of coat:' 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 the banking movements in France, Germany, Austria, " There are no operations in United States Six per Cents, at the Board, and we bear of none outside. Tho 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 bankers, 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 State Loans but slightly. Holders are generally disinclined to sell at the prices quoted for some weeks past." IWSSIAN DIPLOMACY. We find it difficult to believe that, with all her cunning and all her au lacity, Russia would have ventured upen 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 entered, 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 tho 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 Rnssia 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. —m Times. A MAN HANdINO A MONTH ON A TREE AT NO.RNSEY. 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 limb! , barely held together. An inquest was held last evening at the Gate House Tavern, Highgate•hill, before the deputy coroner for West Middlesex, Mr. G. T. Brent, when the following facts were elicited : The name of the deceased wai Martin Laul6, a Ger' man, aged 23 years, residing at 93, Drummond-street , Euston-square, where he carried on the business of e clock and watchmaker. He had been married about Si% 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 * 6 the various police-stations and advertised in the news" papers. On Thursday afternoon a labouring wa n ' named Evans, was passing with a terrier dog along the footpath, when the animal began to sniff and turned into the wood, where he commenced barking furiously, and would not be called away. Evans followed the dog, and about 200 yards in the wood, in a moat lonely and unfrequented part, he saw the body of the deceased In* horrible condition, suspended by a small cord round hie neck from the bough of an oak tree. Information was immediately conveyed to the police, when the body mg. 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 i eie tor and patentee of an electric clock, to exhibit his hoc loges electriques in the Mayor's Parlour, at the Tow n ' hail The Mayor, the Town-clerk, Alde rman Willert ► Councillor Simpson, the Rev. Canon Richeon, the Rev. H. H. Jones, and other gentle men taking an i nterest in the subject, were present. There were three elms trio clocks, of varied e xternal appearance, pl aced la different parts of the room, and these were governed by one ordinary pendulum clock. The common clock has an addition made to it (which we under stand can be added to any clock) whereby it is brought into contact with the two poles of a galvanic battery. 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 rego' lates the motion of the others., A wire is continued from the drumelectric clock, which is of very ein 3 PII construction. of one of them was file° to a dial of plate glass, so that the movement could be easily observed. The re are t wo pa i rs o f sma ll s traight electra-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, whin!' may also may b e ma d e o f plate-glass, suspen d e d from spindle at the top. The rod has two slight projections on each side, parallel to the ends of the wire-coiled magnets. When the electric current comes on the wire from th e positive end of the battery (through the drum o f the regulator-clock), the positive magnets attract the bar to it, the distance being perhaps the sixteenth of an inch . , When, at the end of fifteen seconds, the negative p o lo operates, zepulsion takes effect, and the bar moves te the opposite side. This oscillating bar gives motion to a wheel, which turns the minute and hour hands. Th is is e ff ected rather curiously ; it is something like to! common crutch or anchor escapement, only that, instea d of the wheel moving the escapement, the escapeme nt moves the wheel. The teeth of the wheel are cut ob: liquely, or sloped on one side, so that all the pallets e l the anchor come in contact with the sloping sides of t b ? cogs of the scape-wheel they force it round. The wheel moves one cog every 15 seconds (but could be made to move every second or half second if required), the War ment being imparted on each side alternately. It was eIY served that the 3 clocks beat simultaneously, in isuit Sp precisely that the triple sound was mistaken by several 0 proceeding from one clock. It was stated by the ie . ventor, that if the galvanic battery were attached to all particular standard clock, say the one in the vestibule of th e Town Hall, that any number of clocks, placed in what* ever part of the city (or the kingdom), communicati e g with this by a wire, would indicate precisely the Sam e time. The precision with which the instruments Per formed was the subject of general remark. We under: ' stand that in a prior invention, electricity was only use ° to impart the motion in one direction, a spring being depended upon for the opposing motion. Yracticeshowee t o that when the electric current was weak, the spring it° too strong, and this sometimes led to inaccuracy. Kammerer obviates this by employing the current. Pe e° tive and negative, for both motio ns . W e l ea rn tha t many hundreds of these clocks are in use upon the ...rail ways and in the public offices in Belgium, and that M- Kammerer is under contract to supply a large order is Russia. We believe it is not unlikely that an opporto' nity may be afforded to the public to satisfy then:toll respecting th e u tilit y o f this method of keeping correct time. One of th e c l oc k s was fitt e d i n a s t ree t lamp, 1413.1 for this pu r p ose t h ey seem very su i ta bl e, as no a ddition a l cost would be incurred for illumination, while their Or sure in large thoroughfares would be a publio convenience They also appear to be admirably adapted for we ll " houses or other large establishments, where one battery could be employed for impelling the instruments pla ce , in the various rooms. Mr. Kammerer is remaining fo t. short time in Manchester (at Mr. Van Hees, No. 8, r . James's-square), in order that parties desirous of ie le . nation, or who may wish to treat for the invention 0 this district, may have an interview with him. The Cork Constitutional says the connection of Fos' Henderson, and Cu. with the Bandon Railway ba „ 6 ceased. They received 10,000/. in cash, and 7,0901- 1' shares, in liquidation of all claims.
