Sun Office, 112, Strand. , 6 -4 311 1/ ' LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1356, The AUTOCRAT has profited by the 'painful but salutary lesson taught to him by the results of the late war. He has discovered that the attempt to appropriate the assets of the " sick man" was, to say the least of it, premature ; and that, if he hopes eventually to carry out the traditional policy of the empire, he must play a waiting game. Had there been a well-devised system of military railroads, by which he could have con veyed the personnel and materiel of war with speed and certainty from one portion of his vast dominions in almost any direction he pleased, the event might have been very different. The grave mistake committel was in not waiting patiently for the construction of these important lines, which would, according to all human cal culations, have insured the objects at which he aimed. Grown wiser than of yore, he is now trying to achieve with French and English money the means of defeating Franco and England. He has therefore granted concessions for the creation of more than 3,000 English miles of railway, offer ing a Government guarantee of 5 per cent, on the sums required for their completion ! This is a tempting bait for the gentlemen of the Stock Exchange. It is beyond the limits of Capel-court patriotism, to resist the prospect of handsome premiums, although in the operation they may be providing weapons to destroy them selves and their country. Non olet nummus is the maxim adopted amongst the speculators. If large temporary profits can be acquired they are little solicitous as to the means, or to the ruin which may be brought on parties who, hoping for higher rates of interest than they can obtain on good security in this country, may be induced to invest their capital on non-paying lines, and who will have to sustain the full loss when the original speculators have washed their hands from the transaction. A mere superficial glance at the liberal con cessions made must satisfy any unprejudiced per son that the lines are marked out for military, rather than commercial purposes. " From Mos oow to Nishni Novogorod, to Theodosia, or Ka 'a on the Gulf of Kaffa, in the Black Sea, a n d a l so to Laybau, from Petersburg to Warsaw—with branches to join the Prussian lines." It requires no extraordinary degree of prescience to announce the intent and object of these various roads, which would serve more to consolidate the strength and power of the Great Northern Poten tate than any other scheme that could be devised. The execution of these several projects would fully retrieve all the losses sustained during the late war, and resuscitate the Muscovite hope of Cossackising Europe ere many years had elapsed. Need we remind the peoples of France and England thtt in Russia everything is made subservient to the military power. The im pediments thrown in the way of travelling and commercial undertakings by the passport sys tem (far more onerous in Russia than in Austria itself) must prevent any railway from becoming a pay i ng property. Noothing but perfect, or at least a modified, freedom of trade, and privilege of locomotion, can render the speculations produc tive. The ambition of the CZAR may be gratified, but the anticipations of the shareholders w ill inevitably be disappointed Many influences are brought into operation to THE sluN, C,UNDO; - -4, SA rURDAY hvENII4O- S 1 PT II M [ol 1 1 "i-8511: persuade JOHN BULL to unbutton his purse strings. The gorgeous spectacle now being enacted at Moscow is but a part of the game. Men who are getting up a great swindle generally commence by taking gorgeous offices, and indulging in a lavish outlay. It is well worth the C'AR'S while to expend the greater part of a million sterling, in exhibiting to the gobemouches assembled at Moscow an ostentatious display of the miraculous powers, and apparently illimitable resources, of his extensive empire. With absolute con trol over the lives and properties of his sub jects, with the knout and Siberia as potent instruments for exacting obedience to his Ukases, it is easy to get up an imposing spectacle, calcu lated to deceive better-informed persons than the gaping sight-seers, who (as Dr. FRANKLIN said) are "paying so dearly for their whistles." We would, therefore, once more, emphatically warn our countrymen who have more money than wit not to be taken in by the gorgeous bubbles. No true-hearted Englishman would touch the accursed thing—would invest his capital in mat ters calculated to deteriorate the prospects of per- • manent peace and tranquillity in Europe, and to call for exertions and sacrifices, ere many 1 years have elapsed, that must tell heavily on the prosperity and welfare of his ❑ative land. But to those who are regardless of higher motives we address ourselves. Let them. carefully examine the position and prospects (A the contemplated undertakings before they prat with their money. Let them consider what will be the prospects of payment in the event of an other war. They may even yet find more pro fitable investments at home or in the colonies. They should also remember that under the existing monetary code the exportation of so large an amount of specie must necessarily damage the money market, and lead to pecuniary embarrassments likely to cripple the sinews of industry, and pro duce difficulties and distress among the working classes greatly to be deprecated. Let every man well consider the probable con sequences before he participates in the transac tion ; and should he do so when thus warned, he will be unworthy of British sym pathy however serious the losses he may sustain. " The Constitution is on its trial," quoth PRINCE ALBERT, at the banquet at the Trinity house. We cannot be accused of uncourtly pre cipitancy if, after the expiration of a twelvemonth, we demand—What is the verdict ? " Why, that it is a glorious Constitution, stout and enduring as our native oak. A Constitution whose elasticity and buoyancy are such that foreign fraud has not bawl able to contract it, nor German phlegm to sink it. A Constitution that has in it the elements of immortal youth, and gives promise of surviving, in renovated vigour, the crash of falling dynasties and the wreck of empires whose only cement is blood." Not r,o fast, dear reader, with that English faca of yor,rs, radiant with the noble enthusiasm of a freernan. The jury impannelled was a jury of Germans, and the verdict asked for must come, not from your, but their hands. _ " The Constitution is on its trial." What is the verdict We pause for a reply. In de fault of an answer, we must have recourse to speculation, and cast about to discover of what nature it is likely to be. And we have not far to seek ; for the very fact of its being put on its trial by a German argues a foregone conolusion on his part, and affords but a sorry augury of the de liverance of his compatriots. We are not left, however, to a logical deduction which may be artfully evaded. Our foreign intelligence helps us to something more conclusive. The reader has but to turn to another column, and he will find—" A royal proclamation has just been issued abrogating all the articles of the Hanoverian Constitution of 1849, relative to the interference of the Chambers with questions of finance !" Decidedly a verdict against our unfortunate Con stitution ! Though nourished from his infancy on the British soil, and with the help of British gold —though indoctrinated in the principles of the British Constitution by his ostensible tutors— thongh impressed with the greatness of tho Throne between which and him there was long but a single life, and having had abundant opportunity to ascertain the source of its greatness, the poor blind King, cousin though he be to our most gracious SOVEREIGN, once surrounded by German bureaucrats, has cast every principle of Constitu tionalism aside, and thereby testified, in a manner the most decisive, how he has learned to regard our Constitution, and what fate must be antici pated for it should Germanism be suffered to gain the ascendancy. With the utmost soberness, let us say—regret ting, as we must, this inroad on Constitutionalism —our regret is sharpened for the moment by the confirmation it affords of our often-expressed ap prehensions. For the moment, be it remarked, for we c tnnot doubt what will be the effect of the revelation. If the people of this country have not lost all claim to their traditional cha racter for prudence and forethought—a contin gency we cannot for an instant entertain—a decided check will be administered to Germanism. The lesson following on the practical over throw of the Spanish Constitution, and the abortive onslaught at Neufchatel, is too clear, for cible, and apropos, not to be seriously entertained. The interference of the Chambers with questions of finance is an interference essential to the very existence of a free constitution. Without it a constitution is a farce, with it a stern reality— or may become so. The levying of ship money or the interference of CHARLES the First with the indisputable right of the Commons to vote or withhold the supply led that wretched tyrant to the block, so all-important was the right of the Commons believed to be to the existence of the Constitution. Since his day no English monarch has dared to slay but a finger on it by way of menace. Hanoverians, to be sure, are not Eng lishmen, and possibly may not resent this glaring invasion of their liberties as Englishmen would. The catastrophe in such case is so much the more serious, as it affects liberty. What, however, the Hanoverians are likely to do or not do it is not our intention to discuss. The interests and the welfare of our own country and our fellow-country men are nearest our heart, and in enabling our readers, by considering this and that fact together, to draw their own conclusions as to the reality of a danger frequently adverted to in these columns, we have fulfilled our intention and discharged a duty not without some hope of success. Against individuals we have no animosity—but German ism as antagonistic to constitutional liberty challenges not merely the hatred but also the watchfulness of every free-born Englishman, and in this light we cannot but regard it. returned.

The Gazette publishes a Royal decree accepting the resignation of M. Escalante as Spanish minis ter at Washington. A Royal ordinance limits the exercise of extraordinary powers to serious sound the diplomatic body of Frankfort, but every thing was confined to preliminary discussion. Count Rechberg, the Austrian representative at the Diet, has constantly asserted that he has re ceived no instructions from his government with respect to the question ; but, on the other hand, M. de Bismark Scho3nhausen, the Prussian envoy, is said to have declared that his government would entertain no serious objection to the admission of a Sardinian minister to the Diet." The Prussian Government, it is said, is about to create tribunals of commerce, a kind of institu tion much desired by the commercial interest in Prussia. torus which is prohibited in Vrance. ft iS thefe fore hoped that the customs legislation of France with respect to this produce will be modified be fore long." The Opinione of Turin says :—" There is a story current at Milan of Marshal Radetzky's having lately drunk a toast to the King of Sardinia, pro mising to pay him a visit at Turin next spring. On the other hand, we learn from Parma that it was Count Stackelberg, the Russian envoy, who persuaded the Duchess of Parma to raise the state of siege and to suppress the military tribunals, or courts martial ; expressing, moreover, an opinion to the effect that her dependence upon Austria was neither useful nor in accordance with her dignity." The Bilancia of Milan having lately stated the Pontifical forces at 14,500 men, the Risorgimento of Turin observes that that number admits of con siderable reduction, and that the real force of the Papal army is not more than 8,000 men, viz., 7,400 infantry and 600 cavalry, exclusive of two companies of artillery with 12 pieces of cannon. The Papal fleet (!) consists of a 12-gun brig, which is to be sold, and two small steamers that only put out to sea by day. Count Ernest von Stackelberg, the Russian minister to the Court of Turin, arrived at Parma on the 3d, to present his credentials in the same capacity to the Duchess Regent. ROYAL BRITISH BANK. Last night Another meeting of the depositors in the Royal British Bank Was held in St. Martin's Hall, Long acre, to receive the report of the committee of depositors, appointed at the meeting in the same piano on the pre vious Friday evening, with the view to obtain an imme diate investigation of the affairs of the bank, and to take steps, legal or otherwise, for recavalng payment of the deposits. Mr. J. Wyld, of Charing-crose, was again called to the chair. There were between 400 and 500 persons present, all of whom were depositors, as each roan Pre senting himself for admission was obliged to show pass-book with the bank. The great majority of the audi ence seemed to be mechanics, small tradesmen, and clerks, including a few women, with a small number of persons in easier circumstances, and they might be taken AS a fair representation of the creditors of the bank. Their demeanour throughout the proceedings was marked by the greatest temper and decorum. It was stated inci dentally by the Chairman that the total aggregate amount . of deposits lodged with the bank was at this m ama in round numbers 650,0001., showing the hold the institution, which had not been Many years in existence, had obtained over the savings of the small trading com• munity. The CHAIRMAN said, in pursuance of the resolution adopted at the last meeting of depositors, the committee of depositors then appointed, with himself at their head, met at the Royal British Bank on Tuesday last, and had 3,n interview with the directors, and, having laid before them the resolution passed at the meeting of depositors held at St. Martin's Hall on the previous Friday, re quested to be informed if they wore prepared to carry gut the proposition submitted by the City committee to that meeting on behalf of the directors and shareholders; when they were informed by the directors that the pro position was not authorised by them, and they were not prepared to enter into any arrangement to carry out the proposition to repay the depositors—viz., ss. within one month, ss. within 3 months, ss. within 6 months, and ss. within nine months ; although they stated that a uggestion had been made to Mr. Sheridan and Mr. Richardson on a similar basis, and that Mr. Sheridan bad been authorised to attend the meeting to be held in St. Martin's-hall on their behalf. The directors further stated that they had no proposition to make until after Mr. Coleman had made his report, which they stated would be, they thought, of a more favourable characte r than at first anticipated, and that after the reception of Mr. Coleman's statement they hoped to make arrange ments with some other establishment for the repayment of the deposits to the depositors, and that they were at this time in negotiation with an establishment for that purpose. They added, that the statement of Mr. Cole man would be completed before the end of the present week. The committee then required that they should be allowed an investigation into the accounts of the bank, in accordance with the resolution of the meeting of de positors. After considerable discussion, the committee requested that a reply, in writing, should be made to them by the hoard ; and, after a lapse of two hours, the following letter was received by the committee from the Chairman of the bank " Royal British Bank, Threadneedle-street, London, Sept. 9. " The directors beg to inform the committee of deposi. tors appointed under a resolution of the public meeting held on the sth of September current, that the proposi tion' to pay the depositors of the bank by certain specified instalments did not emanate from them; the gentlemen representing the depositors, assembled at the bank on Friday, the sth, having been requested solely to ascertain whether an offer on the part of the directors to pay in stalments according to their ability would be a sufficient inducement to the depositors at large to withhold the im mediate pressing of their claims. " With regard to the application of the committee to investigate the affairs of the bank, the directors beg to say that a public accountant of eminence in his profession has been employed to furnish a balance-sheet, exhibiting a full and explicit statement of the value of the bank's assets for the shareholders, which will be laid before the committee when completed. " In the meantime the depositors may rely upon the direc tors doing all in their power to protect their interests. " EDWARD EsDAILE, Chairman." Upon the receipt of this letter, which the committee did not think satisfactory, another interview was demanded, which took place, and the committee, finding that the conduct of the directors was very unsatisfactory and inconclusive, deemed it their duty to demand of the di rectors-Ist, If they were prepared to carry out the arrangement proposed by the city committee, with their sanction, to the meeting on Sept. 5. This proposition, after much discussion, was repudiated by the directors, who wanted the committee to obtain the signatures of all the depositors to the proposition before they would enter tain it. ("Shaman It was eeked, 2dly, if they would furnish the committee with the means of investi gating the position of the bank, and allow measures to be taken for the preservation of the funds at pre sent in the custody of the directors 1 That proposition was refused. 3dly, It was demanded that the directors, during the time Mr. Coleman was completing the ac counts, should allow the committee, or any two members of it, to attend and become acquainted with all the acts of the directors. That was also refused ; and the directors, through the deputy-governor, desired the committee to suggest to the depositors to wind up the affairs of the bank in the Court of Chancery. '(Renewed cries of " Shame !") So that after discussing the matter with the directors for nearly six hours on Tuesday, that was the result—the directors repudiat-d the proposition to which they had previously assented. That proposi tion the committee of depositors had thought was an honourable arrangement, and one which would have tended to the advantage of directors, depositors, and shareholders alike, inasmuch as its object was to settle the affairs of the bank in an amicable way, and . to avoid, if possible, a. protracted litigation. (Hear, hear.) As the law now stood, the bank, not hav ing committed an act of bankruptcy, could not be made bankrupt, The result was that there was no pro perly authorised person in charge of the effects of the bank, and the directors at this time were subject to no control in the disposal of the property of the creditors. (Cries of " Shame 1") He submitted that that was a disgraceful state of the law, and one which he believed obtained in no other country in Europe. The depositors were now entirely at the mercy of the directors. He had been told there was now 40,0001. in the bank, and over that sum the directors had the sole control. He taunted the directors with being guilty of an act of bad faith with the committee, by repudiating the proposition to which they had previously assented, and with having sought to rid themselves of the engagement it implied by means of a quibble. Through the petitions which had been filed by certain of the shareholders the affairs of the bank would shortly come under the jurisdiction and cognizance of the Vice-Chancellor, and he urged upon the meeting the desirability of immediately appointing a committee of depositors to protect the interests of the general body of depositors while the matter was before the Court of Chancery. There was no doubt the depositors would all get their money ultimately, but the question was whe ther they were to get it within the next six months or to have to wait two or three years for it. He saw no rea son why, if the interests of the depositors were vigor ously represented before the Court of Chanceey, the af fairs of the company might not be wound up within the next six months. (Hear.) Mr. LINDO, a solicitor, described the proceedings which had taken place in the Bankruptcy Court, in the matter of the bank, as already reported in this journal, and expressed an apprehension, founded on his profes sional experience, that the affairs of the company would not be wound up in the Court of Chancery in less than two or three years. He knew of no ground on which the application of the shareholders to have the affairs dealt with under the Winding-up Act could be opposed, inas much as it was a right with which they were invested by law, but he recommended the appointment of a committee of depositors to watch the proceedings in Chancery, and see that there was no unnecessary delay. Mr. RICHARDSON, one of the committee of depositors appointed at the previous meeting, said, the proposition which the directors bad since repudiated certainly ema nated from the depositors, but the directors adopted it when submitted to them. (Hear.) He had bad several interviews with them, and he had seen their disposition for equivocation and deception. Besides, several of them had admitted their own incompetence as directors. One of them told him (Mr. Richardson) that Ise had been dragged into the concern, that Es did not understand the business cola director, and was, therefore, not competent to discharge it. (Hear.) Another said he had been for years a director of the bank, and had never looked into its accounts at all. (Cries of " Shame !" and " Name!") He declined to give the name, but would abide by the statement he had just made. He concluded by moving— " That the meeting, having heard from the Chairman the report of the committee of depositors, expressed its surprise and indignation at the repudiation by the direc tors of the terms assentei to by them on the 51h of Sep tember as the basis for settling the affairs of the bank." The motion having been seconded by Mr. WILKINs, a depositor, from Reading, was put and carried unani mously. Mr. SHERIDAN defended the equity of the proposit tion submitted to the directors, and agreed to by them on the sth, and argued that it was not until the pro ceedings in the Court of Bankruptcy failed, by which it was sought to make the concern bankrupt, that they thought of repudiating it. He said he held in his hand a statement made by the directors themselves, showing they had at. this moment 48,000 1 . in their hands, and he should like to know what they were doing with it. (Cheers.) He noticed that day that the City Article of the Times, which was always written with great care and discretion, pointed, though somewhat ob scurely, to something like loans between the directors themselves ; and he should like to have that matter in vestigated. He proceeded to read and hold up to indig nation a circular letter addressed by Mr. Crawford, the general manager of the bank, to the shar e h o ld ers, so re cently as the 1 1 th of August, shortly before it closed, complaining that many of them kept accounts with other hanks, and urging them to transfer them to the Royal British and use their influence with others to do the came. He added that other joint-stock banks were wil ling to lend assistance to the depositors in the Royal British, citing the City Bank especially, which, he said, bad offered to advance half the amount of the deposits to the depositors on the production and security of their de posit-book. He now moved "the appointment of a committee of depositors to watch over and protect the interests of the depositors at large, with power to add to their number." Mr. ALLEN, in speaking to the resolution, expressed his belief that if th e matter were fully inves tigated it would be found that many of the directors had drawn very large sums of money out of the bank, and were not now in a position to repay them. He denounced the conduct of the directors iu taking money from the depositors up to the last mo ment before the suspension of the bank, and submitted that they Would never have their deserts until they were prosecuted for obtaining money under false pre. tences, if that were practicable. (Cheers.) The resolution was also carried, and the gentlemen nominated to act on the committee were Mr. Wyld, Mr. Robert Taylor, Mr. W. Clothier, .Mr. John Sheri dan, Mr. B. Foster, Mr. George Healy, Mr. W . Richardson, Mr. S. Green, Mr. Mitchell, and Mr. Gilling. On the motion of Mr. B. FOSTER a subscription was commenced to I , ay the expenses to which the com mittee may be put, aL , d. Mr. Robert Taylor of 61, Old Bond-street, and Lamb eth-terrace, was appointed trea surer of the fund. The meeting then separai'ed. AUSTRIA. A letter from Vienna, in the Bourse Gazette of Berlin, says :—" The Prince Archbishop of Vienna, Cardinal Rauscher, is shortly to proceed to Rome for the definitive conclusio n o f th e negotiations re lative to the execution of the Concordat. The Holy See has displayed a very conciliatory spirit in the consideration of the objections made by Austria, Count Bille Brahe, the ambassador of Denmark, has had several conferences with Count 13uo1. Though he has brought no official docu ments with him, he has defended the course fol lowed by Denmark with respect to the Principali ties, as a necessary consequence of the existence of the Danish monarchy. Count Buol's reply is stated to have been, that he could not recognise the general monarchy of Denmark, except in so far as it respected the rights of the German Duchies ; and that Austria had made that proviso in signing tke protocol of London." NAPLES. A letter from Paris in the Augsburg Gazette gives an analysis to the second note reported to have been sent to France and England by King Ferdinand. It says :—" It is quite true that the King of the Two Sicilies has addressei to the Western Powers a note, intended to do away with the bad effect of the first. This second note is dated August 28th, and was delivered to Count Waleweki by the Marquis Antonini. The King expresses regret that the Courts of Paris and London should have seen in his first answer any matter of offence, and formally disclaims any offensive intention. He, moreover, de clares himself firmly convinced that the coun sels tendered to the Neapolitan Government by France and England in their identical note were well-intentioned. But the King adds afterwards that he is a better judge of the dangers which may threaten his states than governments interested in making the Western Pc -- ters believe that the politi cal situation of Italy is 1 g with storms can possibly be. (This is an allusion to Piedmont.) He declares formally that he has never attributed to the Wes tern Powers any intention to encourage revolution, and he hopes that these sincere and loyal explana tions will suffice to re-establish the old friendly re lations between the Western Powers and the court of the Two Sicilies. This prudent step of the King is attributed to th© influence of the court of Vienna." SWITZERLAND. The National Suisse publishes the following note We read in the Courrier de Bienne, the Berlin journal which we cit3d yesterday was wall informed. Prussia has just lodged a protest with the Federal Government against any interference on its part with the affairs of Neufchatel." The Revue de Geneve announces that one of the Counts Pourtales has died of his wounds. This is not, we believe, the Count Pourtales who was the leader of the insurrection. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the Bth contain nothing of much interest. General Zavala, ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs, was spoken of for the command of the Halberdiers, and M. Gonzales Bravo for the Embassy at Washington. The Hojas Autografas, a semi-official organ, says that the situation of the public treasury is very satisfactory, and that the taxes are paid with such "surprising punctuality" that it is not necessary to have recourse to coercive measures. The state of siege had been proclaimed in the Canary Islands, in consequence of that measure having been adopted for all Spain, but the National Guard had not been disarmed. PORTUGAL.

Our Lisbon correspondent writes as follows on the 9th : " You will probably rreeive by this packet news direct from Oporto respecting 12 Portuguese ships engaged in the Brazil trade, which the Lisbon Board of Health ordered to be immediately sent out of the Douro in con sequence of their being reported to have carried the yellow fever to that port, where 30 to 40 cases are said to have occurred, mostly fatal, within the last three or four weeks. The mercantile body of Oporto have long been upon the worst terms with the Board of Meelth, and attributing its orders in this eve to arbitrary persecution rather than real necesity, a strong re• presentation upon the subject was on Saturday dis cussed at a public meeting called by the Commercial Association, and forwarded to the Government by telegraph. "The Ministers lost no time in conferring with the Board of Health, which refused to withdraw its orders, and the Government, not wishing to assume the respon sibility of doing so, directed the Marine Superintendent of Oporto to see them carried out, but he telegraphed back to Lisbon `that the owners of the 12 ships had withdrawn the crews, and that he could not send the ships out of the river without a supply of sailors from Lisbon.' " What will be the result of this extraordinary affair I cannot say, but you may probably learn by direct news from Oporto, where it appears some of the ships had arrived from Brazil two months back, discharged their cargoes, and been placed in the shipwright's hands for repairs, preparatory to a new voyage. Their names are as follows :—Fulmineuse, Pombinba, Damao, Au gusto, Alfredo, S. Jose, S. Manoel, Brachareuse, Flor de Porto, Lima, Duarte IV., and Santa Cruz. "Private letters from Oporto deny the existence of yellow fever at all, while the reports made to the Board of Health contain certificates of post mortem examina tions which declare that disease to have been the cause of death. Hitherto it does not appear that any case of yellow fever has occurred at Lisbon, and those of cholera do not amount to a dozen per diem, with scsrcely any deaths. "The Councillor of State, Joze da Silva Carvalho, President of the Supreme Tribunal of Justice, died here a few days ago, having been long in a very delicate state of health. His name will be remembered in the annals of Portugal in conjunction with Fernandez Thomaz and Borgas Carneiro, whom he joined, and formed one of the three chiefs of the first constitutional movement at Oporto in 1820. M. Silva Carvalho emigrated several times upon the restoration of absolute government : he was one of Dom Pedro's 111inileters at Oporto, and El.* sequently at Lisbon, having always supported the con stitutional charter. "I have often heard him say that he had signed, as Minister, so many decrees for new titles that he consi dered it the greater honour to decline one for himself, retaining his own name to the last, and I have no doubt it will long be gratefully remembered by the Liberal party, which now enjoys the Constitutional Government he, in his younger days, risked so much to inaugurate. " Great prep ara ti ons are being made for the approach ing election of a new Chamber of Deputies. Four Electoral Committees here been formed b e different parties, and three of them have just published their manifests, viz., the Royalists, the Cartistas, or Conser vative supporters of the charter, and that proportion of the Progressista party which opposed the late Cabinet and supports the present Ministers. The com mitee for the other portion of the Progressistas which acted with and. formed part of the late Cabinet, and also gives it s su pp or t to the present Administration, hasissued an advertisement for a public meeting of the electors of Lisbon, to be held, by permission of the Gm. vernment, at the Theatre of San Carlos, on the 14th inst., for the purpose of appointing a committee to con duct the electi on o f suc h c andidates as support the prin ciples the meeting may discuss and adopt. Although the Government deelees at present to take any direct part in these electoral proceedings, I have no doubt it will step in at the last moment, and, by its influence, secure the return of a good portion of the candidates upon whose suppo r t it may best rely." A letttr from Solingen, in the Cologne Gazette, says :—" A French agent, M. Goldenberg, has been here recently charged by his government to make an inquiry into the produce of our manufao- MISS P. HORTON'S (MRS. T. G. REED'S) ENTERTAINMENT. • After a very successful tour through the "fa shionable watering-places" of Kent and Sussex, Mr. and Mrs. Reed are now making holiday, in lieu of money, in Paris ; and will return to resume their provincial engagements on the 15th instant, when they will give their "Popular Illustrations" at Portsmouth ; and afterwards proceed to South ampton, Salisbury, Winchester, Bath, Exeter, Devonport, Cheltenham, Worcester, Gloucester, and other large towns in the West of England. MARYLEBONE THEATRE. Mr. James Anderson, the tragedian, and Miss Elsworthy (the most rising actress of the day, as she is justly called), having recently played with great success to the lovers of the " legitimate drama" at the far East, are about to commence an engagement at this theatre, where they will per form a succession of Shaksperian characters, with every advantage of scenic effects, such as the deni zens of this locality have not witnessed of late years. THE WOMAN-FLOGGING IN MARYLEBONE WORKHOUSE. DECISION OF THE POOR-LAW BOARD. Yesterday, at the weekly sitting of the directors and guardians of the poor of St. Marylebone, held at the workhouse, New-road ; Mr. Robert Cole in the chair, Mr. T. B. Rae, the secretary, read a communication from the Poor-law Board, founded on the report of Mr. Cane, the poor-law inspector, who conducted the recent investigation as to the alleged flogging of female inmates of St. Marylebone Workhouse : "Poor Law Board, Whitehall, Sept. 11, 1856. " Sir,—The Poor-law Board have received the report of their inspector, Mr. Cane, upon the evidence taken by him on the 25th, 26th, and 27th ult., at his inquiry into the charge that certain of the female inmates of arylebone Workhouse had been beaten by officers of that establishment. The board have carefully con sidered that report and the evidence upon which it was founded. The officers accused were Mr. Richard Ryan, the master of the workhouse, Charles Brown and Matthew Green, two porters of the establishment." After recapitulating some of the principal points of the evidence given before the inspector, as to the flogging of the women, the Poor Law Board proceed : " The board cannot but observe with very great re gret the amount of disorder and turbulence which the evidence taken by their inspector discloses as existed in the Marylebone Workhouse. They are quite prepared to admit that it is a task of no little difficulty to main tain discipline, good order, and subordination amongst a number of persons of the unhappy class to which these inmates belong. To do so with any success requires not only great temper, firmness, and judgment on the part of the officers, particularly of the chief one to whose con trol they are subjected, but also such well-devised ar rangements of the building in which they are retained, and such regulations for the classification, discipline, and treatment of the inmates themselves, that every impedi ment is presented to the outbreak of disorder, and every facility at hand for its immediate suppression. The board lament to find that in an establishment of the extent and importance of the Marylebone Workhouse there appears to be an entire absence of those conditions of its success ful management. They are not, therefore, surprised at the occurrences which have formed the subject of in quiry, or to find a state of things existing in the work house such as is described in their inspector's report. The board cannot but believe that the directors and guardians will be as anxious as themselves to find a re medy to the evils which have been disclosed. As the two porters have already resigned their situations, the board have only to remark with respect to them that they quite concur with the directors and guardians in Ow propriety of their accepting such resignations. With re spect to the master, the board, after giving the' fullest consideration to all that can be urged in his favour, are yet of opinion that the inquiry shows him to be not equal to the discharge of the very responsible duties entrusted to him. While there is good ground to believe that he himself took an active part in the beating of the women, as was alleged against him, still there is no room for doubt that it was done by his subordinate officers in his ipresence and by his sanction. It is not necessary for the board to enter into a nice inquiry as to the ex tent to which a workhouse officer may be justified in using force when assaulted in enforcing the neces sary discipline of a workhouse ; it is sufficient in the present instance that it is proved that a severe and vindictive beating was inflicted by the officers ac cused on at least three of the female inmates of the workhouse. Under these circumstances the board request the directors and guardians to call upon the master to resign his situation. While the board have thought themselves unable to relieve the master from the responsibility for what has taken place in the workhouse, they are so firmly convinced that no mere change of the officers of the house will enable the directors and guardians to successfully cope with the evils which exist in it, that they propose to issue to the parish of Marylebone, forthwith, similar rules and regulations for the management of the workhouses in England and Wales. These regulations the board be lieve will assist materially in promoting the comfort of the inmates of the workhouse, and strengthen the hands of the officers in their efforts to preserve order and discipline, and will tend effectually to prevent the r - currence of the scenes which have lcd to the recent in quiry.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, (Signed) " R. W. GREY, Secretary. "T. B. RAE, Esq., Secretary, Directors and Guardians, St. Marylebone." Dr. BACIVIOFFNER moved that the communication from the Poor-law Board be simply received and acknow ledged. Mr. BRAESS seconded the motion. Mr. RIDDING moved the following amendment : " That the Poor-law Commissioners be informed that this board have fully inquired into the subject of their com munication of the 11th instant, and having already de cided upon admonishing the master and the porters, respectfully decline to open the case." Mr. BoTTING seconded the amendment, and said they were not there as servants or nominees of the Poor-law Board ; they were elected by the ratepayers, and to whom alone they were responsible. (Rear.) Mr. W. CARR considered that the Poor-law board had a right to come in there—(No, no !)—any person who had heard the evidence must be of opinion that the Poor law Board bad come to a most lenient conclusion. (No, no I and hear, hear.) Mr. Ridding's amendment would bring them in direct antagonism with the Poor-law Board, and it would then be seen which was the strongest. Mr. ANDERSON denounced the pretext of the Poor-law Board in coming in to issue regtilations for the manage ment of that workhouse as a shills and frivolous. Dr. BAeHOFFNER would rather have avoided discus Rion at present, as they were aware the battle was being fought with the Poor-law Board by St. Pancras, and it was worthy of consideration whether Marylebene should wait the issue of the battle with St. Pancras, or whether they should enter the lists and fight with them. The amendment was carried on a divi-ion by a ma jority of 12 to 4, and the proceedings terminated. The King of the Sandwich Islands was married at Honolulu on the 19th of June to Miss Emma Roohed. Despatches were received yesterday at the Colonial office from the Governor of New South Wales. De spatches were also sent to the Governors of the North American provinces. Large quantities of English Agricultural machinery of every description are now being exported from South ampton to France, by way of Havre. The Mayor of Southampton will give a banquet to the directors of the European and Australian Royal Mail Company, previous to the departure of their first mail steam-ship to Melbourne, in Victoria. SILK AND TEA FROM CHINA.—The clipper ship Prin cess, Capt. Trernearne, arrived off Falmouth on the 9th inst. from Shanghai, With 1,401 bales of silk and 361,9001bs of tea on freight. ' Cabs are about to be introduced into Malta. Mr. Andrew; the coachmaker, and mayor of Southampton, has received an order for a number of them,..to be sent as soon as possible. THE WENSLEYDALE AND FERBIOY PEERAGES. — According to a document printed by order of the House of Lords, it was recommended by the Lords' Committee that the Clerks of the Fee Fund to Mr. James Napier, Q.C., Mr. Fleming, and to the record agents, who made the necessary searches, such fees as seem proper for the service rendered to the House, under its orders, by those gentlemen in the cases of the Wensleydale and Fermoy Peerages. ARCTIC WINTER WHALE FISHERY.—ABERDEEN, Fri• day Evening.—The Lady Franklin has arrived here from the winter whale fishing in Cumberland Straits with 100 tuns of oil and six tons of bone. Capt. Penny was all last winter in the Arctic regions, and left the Sophia, but did not see the Alibi at the fishing ground ; he reports the Traveller of Peterhead with 100 tons of blubber. cases. The Belgian minister has presented his letters of credence. The Queen has not yet come to any decision relative to the legation at Washington, or to the appointment of the commander-in-chief of the Halberdiers. The reports which have been current of differences of opinion existing among the ministers and the Vicalverist generals are en tirely unfounded. The most perfect unanimity prevails in the cabinet, and it continues to enjoy the entire confidence of the Queen. FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY. The Moniteur says that on the Bth of September, being the anniversary of the capture of Sebastopol, the Emperor invited the 35th Regiment of the line, which is stationed at Biarritz, to a dinner. The privates and subaltern officers were entertained in front of the barracks, and the Emperor and Em press, who carried in her arms the Imperial Prince, came suddenly among them. The officers after wards dined with their Majesties. The Governments of England and France have again called upon the King of Naples to grant an amnesty which shall include Baron Poerio, M. Settembrini, and those victims of the Constitution who have been chained so many years. It has been stated in some German journals, and especially in the Independance Beige, that Ferdinand 11., an ticipating coercion, is likely to listen to the repre sentations of the allies, but a contrary conclusion is expected here. There is a rumour that both M. Billault, the Minister of the Interior, and M. Rouher, the Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, have offered their resignations. M. Rouher is the leader of the Prohibitionists, and M. Billault of the Freetraders. Prince Jerome made an excursion in an open carriage yesterday from Havre to Etretat, at the same time that the Princess Mathilde proceeded to the same destination in the Ariel steamer. Their Royal Highnesses returned to Havre in the evening. The following letter of the 10th, from a corre spondent at San Sebastian, gives an account of a visit of their Majesties of France to that place : "Yesterday afternoon, at half-past three o'clock the French war steamers Newton and Pelican entered this picturesque bay with the Emperor and Empress of the French on board, attended by a numerous suite. About half an hour before, the commandant-general of the pro ♦ince received an express from the governor of the Pas sages (distant three miles from this place), informing him that their Majesties were taking a look at that port, and might be expected hourly at San Sebastian. Hasty preparations were in consequence made, and the Empe ror and Empress received a thundering salute from some of the 36-pounders which were mounted in such haste upon the battlements of the citadel after the late insurrection at Madrid, as they landed at the stairs of the new mole, where the commandant general and civil governor of the province, with the British vice-consul, commandant of ma rine, captain of the port, aicalde, and municipality re ceived their Majesties amidst the congregated population of St. Sebastian, all of whom, gentle and simple, seemed determined not to lose such an opportunity of taking a good ♦iew of 'the man of the day,' and the 'graciosa y amable Eugenia,' of whom we Spaniards are so proud. The Emperor's simple blue frock coat, light waistcoat, and dark trousers gave him the air of an English gentle man, to which contributes not a little a regular English. built hat. The imperial cort6ze consisted of General Ney, the Marquis de Lagrange, Duo de Cadore, Tascher de la Pagerie, the prefect of the Basses-Pyrenees and several ladies of honour, including the widow of M. Ducos, the late Minister of Marine. On landing the Im perial party walked to the beautiful church of Santa Maria, where the Empress prayed a few moments at the altar, and then proceded to the town house in the Plaza Nueva.' On appearing in the balcony, their Majesties were cheered by the populace who filled the square be neath. Adjourning thence to the Municipal Library their Majesties partook of refreshments in that apartment, where Lieut. March, the British vice-consul here, had the honour of ;being presented to the Emperor. This was the only presentation, I believe, that took place. A. tour of the hill upon which the citadel and the pie turesqne British cemetery are situated, including fn . • spection of the citadel and a magnificent bird'seye4i4iv, of the surrounding country, concluded the Imperial visit to St. Sebastian. The Emperor read with evident inte rest the English inscription on the tombs of several officers and men belonging to the old British auxiliary legion, including a white marble tablet to the memory of Sir R. Fletcher and the other engineer officers who fell in 'the siege of St. Sebastian in 1813, and it was remarked that his Majesty left for a moment the Em press's arm to decipher the letters better. Their Majes ties evidently enjoyed their visit and appreciated the welcome which they received. The shadows of night were stealing over the Atlantic when the Newton (what an example the French set the English in honouring merit and genius !) and the Pelican hoisting lights at their mastheads stood out of the bay." The Seine steamer, which was about to load at Rouen for St. Petersburg, took her departure the day before yesterday for her place of destination on the receipt of a telegraphic despatch. This vessel, which conveyed to the Russian capital part of the staff horses and effects of the extraordinary mission of Count de Morny, is now charged to briar, them back to France. The Journal du Havre on this subject says :—" It is not impos sible that the cqpnt may return in the Seine. Let ters have been received in Paris which state that his stay in Russia will be shorter than was at first intended, his health having been unable to with stand the fatigue of the almost continual exertion which he has of late been forced to make."

A letter from Berlin, in the Journal de Frank fort, gives the following on the subject of the trial of Techen :—" The charge against the prisoner is founded on the following paragraph of the penal code : ' Whoever deliberately communicates to a foreign government State secrets, plans of for tresses, documents, or news, knowing that the wel fare of the State required their being kept secret from such government, shall be liable to the punishment of hard labour for from five to twenty years.' It appears, therefore, that Techen has really been in communication with agents of foreign governments, which fact had been at first doubted. The trial, which took place with closed doors, lasted twelve hours, after which the tribunal remained in , deliberation for an hour before it delivered its judgment. Nineteen witnesses were examined, and among others Vice-President Seiffart, who has played a very prominent part in the affair, and against whom a disciplinary inquiry is to take place. It is said that Techen made no avowal, so that the evidence of the witnesses must have been very conclusive. Nothing has transpired as to the foreign agents with whom Techen had had relations, and it is probable that the public will learn nothing on the subject." A letter fro a Frankfort, in the Univers, says : —" With respect to the creation of a Sardinian embassy to the Germanic Diet, which has been lately spoken of, nothing will be done before the meeting of that body. At the commencement' of August, the Turin Cabinet despatched an envoy to RESTITUTION 03' KARS• ( From the Invalide Busse.) On August 1.5 Aide-de-camp General Mouravieff trans mitted the following details respecting the evacuation of Kars by nur troops, a nd the re-estabUahment of friendly relations with Turkey. If the Guards In the course of the month of July the details to be observed in surrendering the fortress of Kars to the Turkish Government had been arrange() at Erzeroum between our plenipotentiary, the Colonel Loris-Melikoff, then governing the provinct s. and Ismail Pacha, the Muchir of Anatolia. On tha t occasion Ismail Pacha expressed his wish to repair to th. 3 Russian camp, that he might have an interview with Lieut. - General Khrouleff, the commanding officer of the active corps. Notwithstanding the malevolent insinuations of cer tain persons about him, the Muchir, who fully appre ciated the upright conduct of the Russian Government. and who knew Colonel Loris-Melikoff by the reputation he had acquired in his administration of the country dur ing nine months, arrived on the 6th of August, in order to have a personal interview with Lieut.-General Khrou leff, and was received d la couclae, twenty versts from Kars, by Colonel Loris-Melikoff and the chief of the staff of the Anatolian army, Hussein Pacha, who had arrived at the fortress before him. On the morning of the 7th of August the Muchir set out for Kars, accompanied by the new valy of Kars, Ismail Pacha, with his suite, and an escort consisting of one squadron of regular cavalry and 300 Kurds of rank, who performed fantastic evolutions whilst marching ahead of the cortege. The Muchir was met half way by the members of our administration of Kars ; and at fivovexsts from the town be was complimented in the nametof the commander-in. chief of the active corps by the aides-de-camp of Lieut.- General Khrouleff, accompanied bf platoon of Coss sacks of the Line and a platoon of the Don Cossacks. On his entrance into the town the Tu,"kish troops which had previously arrived, and were drawn up in array along the streets, paid military honours to the Muchir, who was saluted at the same time by the artillery. In presenting themselves to the Muchir at the house prepared for him the medjlis of the province and the prin cipal persons of Kars unanimously expressed to the Colo nel of the Guards, Loris-Melikoff, latelyin authority over the province of Kars, their gratitude for the care he bad bestowed on the welfare of the country, and requested of the Muchir permission to present to the Colonel an ad dress of thanks. Fully partaking of these sentiments, the Muchir addressed, in the name of his Governments his cordial expression of thanks to Col. Loris Melikoff for the care he had bestowed on the administration of the country. At three o'clock in the afternoon Ismail Pacha, in full uniform, left Kars with his suite, to proceed to our camp, and was received at the gates of the town by Major General Chodzko, and the aides-de-camp of the commandant of the corps Lieut.-General Khrouleff with his staff, and the combined regiment, Ne. 1, of the Cos sacks of the line, met the Muehir on the further side of Mount Kara-dagh, where the Cossacks drawn up in line of battle received him with military honours. The 2d and 4th battalions of the Infantry Regiment of Beleff—the light battery, No. 7, of the 18th brigade of Artillery—the Ist and 3d battalions of the Tonle Re giment of Infantry—the Regiment No. 4, of Don Cos sacks, and the combined regiment, No. 2, of the Cos sacks of the line, were drawn up in battle array before the army. Having passed down the front of the lines and the camp, Ismail Pacha expressed a most flattering opinion of our troops, and asked permission to thank them for the honours that had been paid to him. The Cosset:kg of the line pleased him especially. At six in the afternoon, Lieut.-General Khrouleff in vited his honourable visitor to dinner, together with his suite and three English officers attached to the army of Anatolia. The toast of the health of the Sultan, pro posed by the commandant of the corps, was responded to by the Muchir, who gave the health of the Emperor of Russia ; and then General Khrouleff proposed the health of the Muchir himself, who replied with toasts to the health of General Mouravieff and of the command ant of the corps. After dinner, at nine o'clock, the Muchir wa s in• vited to see a display of fireworks prepared in honour of himself. In taking leave afterwards of Lieut.-Gen. Khrouleff the Muchir expressed t o him the profound respect which he felt for the Emperor of Russia, and his sincere gratitude to General "Mouravieff for his beneficent and careful administration of the province through Count Loris-Melikoff. On this occasion the Muchir evinced a most frank and friendly disposition, and a desire for the establishment of oordial relations between the two powers. In his conversations with Lieut. 'General Khrouleff he had repeatedly testified his satisfaction at having visited our camp, where he found in the 1 'arson of that general a soldier who loyally and honestly - performed the duty with which he had been entrusted . General Khrouleff bad, upon his side, told the Much it in reply that his aim was to confirm the friendly relations between the two Powers, and that it was far more agreeable to his Ma jesty the Emperor to see an entent e cordiale between the military governors of the border ing provinces than to see them contending with each other on the field of battle. In conclusion, the Muchir begged General Khroulefl to assure General Mou ravieff of his desire to meet General Mouravieff in persons if he should come to Alexandropol, and to thank him l=kor the care which bad been taken of the Turkish prisone re, as well as for having appointed so worthy an officer as Colonel Loris-Melikof f to take charge of the province of Kars. When he left General Khrouleff, Ismail Pacha invited him to dinner for the next day. On the 27th July (the Bth of August) all our troops struck their camp, and began their march to Alex dropol. The same day, at eleven o'clock in the morning, Gen: Khrouleff went to Kars, accompanied by his staff. - 631 a distance of several werets from the town he was re• ceived by the Muchir of Anatolia,. with his whole staff, attired in full dress uniform. Near the town the Turkish troops were drawn up in line, along the road, to receive the visitors with military honoure, and with a salute of artillery. General Khrouleff passed in front of the Turkish troops, who then filed past him ; a battalion of s harp' shooters manoeuvred afterwards, and performed sonae gymnastic feats, as well as bayonet and rifle practice. After the review a guard of honour escorted the corn' mandant of the corps to the town of Kars. At oil o'clock the Muchir called upon General Khrouleff, and invited him to come to dinner. The table was elegantly adorned with flowers , and displayed a silver service a n crystal vessels, brought expressly from Erzeroum. Dm' ing the repast the Muchir proposed a toast to the pros' parity of the Emperor of Russia ; and the commandan t of the corps replied with a toast to the health of bie Majesty the Sultan. The health of General Mouravieff, that of the 00 01 ; mandant of the corps , that of the Muchir of the army 01 Anatolia, and that of the late governor of the provinc e of Kars, were also duly honoured. The dinner was concluded with a speech from the Muchir, who again expressed his " veneration " for the Emperor of all the Russias, and his sincere desire for the establishment of a solid friendship between the two Powers. On the 28th of July (the 9th of August) Colonel Loris' Melikoff completed the final transference of the govern ment of the province, and in the presence of the coal' mandant of the corps received a complimentary address from the Muchir of Anatolia. On the departure of General Khrouleff from Kars the Muchir accompanied him out of the town; he was sal uted again by the artillery, and the Turkish troops, which awaited him, drawn up in line-of-battle, on the road, rendered him the same honours as before. Ismail Peas, who was not content with having Ter belly expressed his gratitude, charged his son-in-lae's Assakh Bey, to send to General Mouravieff a letter which contained a complete'and sincere acknowledgment of the friendly welcome he had received, and of the trill/ paternal manner in which the conquered country had been administered. which th h e 29 adb t e h of been n July (August quartered inth t e he pr l o O v th in ) c a e ll of ou K r a t r r s oo r p e s . l e e n f t t e b re a d nk th o e f tßbuesAsirapnattbearir,itionrytb, the and e g e b n b ca o u m r p b e 2 d o d u pofo ltox- andropol. THE LATE MYSTERIOUS DEATH AT BETHNAL-GREE N. —ALLEGED MURDER.— Yesterday afternoon the ad journed inquest was resumed at the Bricklayers' Arms Tavern, Charles-street, Hackney-road, Bethnal-green , respecting the death of Philip Darwin, aged 41 y e ars, who was found dead with his throat cut, under v er y suspicious and mysterious circumstances. The jury re ' turned a verdict, "That the deceased had destroy ed himself while in a state of insanity, caused by his wife having deserted him." BRUTAL ASSAULT.—On Monday, Wm. Mills, tail or, Worsbro', was brought up at . the Barnsley Court - ho use, on a charge of committing a most brutal assault up on Charles , Butler, a gatekeeper on the South Yorks hire Railway, with intent to do him grievous bodily h arm. Butler lives at a lodge on the line, and one of his du ties is to keep the line clear of trespassers. On the 21 4 July Mills was , trespassing upon the railway, when But" ler went up to him and requested him to get off the line. He refused to do so, when some words ensued between them, and Mills threw some stones at Butler. O n the 25th ult. Butler again met the prisoner on the line, whet; the latter said to him, " Now order me off again- Butler replied, "I'll have nothing to do with you ; you behaved so cowardly before ;" when, without any pro" vocation, Mills pulled out of his pocket a life-preserv e, and struck him a heavy blow over the head, which felled him to the ground. He was taken home in a state of insensil4ility, and the surgeon called in, after examining the injuries, pronounced him to be in a very dangero us state, in which he continued for above a week. The bench said that the case was one of the most brutal that had ever been brought before that court, and one which might have resulted in death ; and, as it had been come m itt e d without provocati on , th e y should commit the p r i s oner to take his trial a t the next York assizes .-- Manchoter augraign,.
