MOST IMPORTANT BENEFIT EVES YET OFFERED BY T HE UNIVERSAL PROVIDENT LIFE ASSOClATlON.—Established 1849. Persons insured for Life, who have paid three yearly premiums and upwards, can receive back their money, less the premium for the risk incurred during the time they were insured on surrender of the policy. EXAMPLE. A B, aged 35, pays 141. 3s 9d. a-year for Life for 5001, and at the end of seven years wishes to drop ,his Policy—he will at this time have paid 991. N. 3d., and for the surrender of the Policy he would in other offices get a very little, if anything, and the premiums would consequently be lost. The Directors of the Universal Provident, feeling this to be a great hardship and a positive obstacle to the adoption of Life Assurance by all classes, have adopted the equitable principle of deducting thepre mium for the time the risk hats been incurred from the premiums paid, and returning the balance to the parties, thus making a profit themselves without any risk. In the example above the insurance for 5001. for the time would have been 91. N. 7d. per annum, or 661. 7s. Id. ; this deducted from 991. 6s. 3d. leaves 321. 19s. 2d. to be returned. The advantage of this principle is peculiarly applicable when Policies are taken out to cover Loans. Diseased lives and lives rejected by other offices taken. C. W. BEVAN, Managing Director. E. P.

MOSES and SON' have had the pleasure of submitting to their patrons and the public, the Paletot which they have just introduced possesses a most prominent place ; it is the article of Attire required for the season by ad classes, and is a pioneer of the richest and most novel at' les for the ensuing Autumn in the preparation of which E. Moses and Son are uniting all the forces of Commerce, Skill, Experience, and Capital. This Paletot is the most ingeniously contrived garment which has been invented, and is the result of mathematical observa tion and great experience in the art of designing and Cutting Dress. It has been the object of E. Moses and Son to produce a paragon in this description of Attire, which they have placed within the reach of all classes, its price being 255. This article may be worn as Coat or Overcoat, and it is the most gentlemanly and the most comfort able garment ever presented. E. MOSES and SON are Merchant Tailors and Clothiers on the large-t scale and on the most practical principles. They are manu facturers of Shirts with the most elaborate embroidery, and in plain, useful, and comfortable styles. They are Hosiers for Ladies and Gentlemen in all stations and in all parts of the world. They are Hatters and Boot and Shoemakers, and their productions are the most fashionable and the cheapest.

Aqua sa habla Espana. LONDON, SATURDA LY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 16, 1854. THE WAR. NAVAL AND lIILIT.LRY INTELLIGENCE. Royal Albert, 121, screw, is lying at the north side of the basin in the dockyard at Sheerness. Her tanks arc being got on board and her ballast stored in the fore hold ; stores of all descriptions are being daily taken in. Yester day her yokes 'for the rudder were fitted. Her machinery altogether is in a most advanced state, and only receiviiig the last finish, Which has proved by the late trial since she' came out of dock, when under steam all parts of her en gines acted in a most satisfactory manner. it is generally expected that the next spring tides this splendid screw will go out of dock; that point, however, is not finally settled; whin she does, however, and gets a few hun dred more hands on board, no doubt she will proceed to Portsmouth for volunteers, and take in her bonded stores, &o. Her Majesty's ship Algiers proceeded for Portsmouth at five o'clock yesterday morning. Ganges, 81 (built by natives in India), is going into No. 2, graving dock, Sheerness. She is coppered, and has been thoroughly repaired. . Yesterday she got her tanks on board, no doubt previously to her being put in commission. She is a splendid model as a sailing vessel, and was a great favourite last war. Colossus, 80, screw, Captain Spencer Robinson, bent sails yesterday. She still remains in Portsmouth harbour; nor will she go to Spithead until Tuesday next. Illustrious, 72, training-ship, Captain Harris, put the lads through the great gun exercise yesterday. The Dauntless, 33, screw steam-frigate, Captain Ryder, is ordered to come into harbour from Spithead. She is to have new boilers, and is then to proceed to the Black Son. _ . The Termagant, 24, screw frigate, the Hon. Captain Stewart; the Spiynx, 6, paddle sloop, Captain Clifford; and the Hornet, 14, screw sloop, Commander Forsyth, are also refitting at this port to join the Black Sea fleet. The Hannibal, screw, Hon. Captain Grey, is still lying at the same moorings she first took up on coming in from Brest. Yesterday 14 more of her crew were sent to the Chatham Hospital. Her powder was being taken out of her yesterday morning ; but in consequence of the low ness of the tides she will not go into dock till next Thurs day, when there will be water enough, as she draws about 24 feet. The defects in her machinery are by no means considered to be of any extent ; but the guide frames con nected with lifting the screw being decidedly out of order is the principal cause for her going to be docked that they may be thoroughly examined. _ . The Valorous, paddle, Captain Buckle (so lately returned iom hard fighting at Bomarsund), is undergoing the neces sary repairs in her Majesty's graving dock, Sheerness. Her upper works are being caulked, together with that,part of her bottom which is partially stripped ; her stem and fore piece are partly replaced, and some of the rock upon which she struck has been taken out of her bottom as large as a 361 b shot; her new bowsprit was shipped, and gammoned yesterday afternoon. Her crew have all gone on 10 days' leave, commencing from the 15th to the 25th inst. Most of them have gone to Plymouth to their wives and families with the advance they have received. Her running gear and rigging are having a thorough overhaul, and no doubt in 14 days more this ship will be thoroughly repaired, and once more ready to prove, in defence of her country, that she was built a good old English oak. The Hornet, 17, screw, Commander Forsythe, read his commission on board yesterday. The Harrier, 17, screw, and Swallow, 9, sCrow, have painted topgallantmasts and crossed lower yards.

At I the Council Chamber, Tirbitehall, the 12th day of • f spternber, 1854. By the Right Hon. the Lords of i Committee of Privy Council, Appointed fir the reensideration of all matter; relating to Trade and Fo r 7ciign Plantations. 5 ay Lords have had, tinder consideration the best me is is of apportioning the space placed at their disposal by 113 a French Imperial Commission among the various rote n ding exhibitors in such a way as to secure the most ' corn p late representation of cur national industry which that ; apace admits of. Ins compliance with Art. 9 'of the regulations of the I toper ial Commission, my Lords forwarded, on the 15th n lied the necessary A ugust (the day, appointed), a return of the applications re , , fired tip to th a t date, representing 2,130 exhibit o r s , who`t had e l a for 34862 addition 5 square forefeet poafsshorizontal p T Imperial Commission hav e announce d t h e i r inten tion of allotting 15,000 squar e metres (162,000 sq. ft.) in cludi rg passages, to this c oun t ry, a quantityexceeding the spat 1134 g 62,00 1 0 square feet the amount allotted to France in 1851, whicl t must therefore be considered as a liberal allowance. It is, however, obvious that the demands of the United Ki e v tom must be materially reduced, in order to bring there . 91 ithin the prescribed limits, t. 3 this time no judgment has been passed upon the chart letter of the applications, although it must be evident that c mo part of them is laiore likely than another to re fuse c wedit upon our national industry • and that though there are probably few applications which do not include somet ding of public interest and value, the general cha racter of nearly the whole will be improved, if exhibitors shout(' l send only their most important productions. To pass such a judgment is'evidently beyond the com petent ee of the officers appointed by my Lords to attend to the business of the Exhibition, and it is upon the ex hibito re themselves, and the committees formed to repre sent t In eir interests, that my Lords must depend for un dertal ing the selection, which iu other countries is gene rally .e: cercised by functionaries norminted by the State. My I lords havetherefore directed 1.

Each '.committee will then be requested to make such a divisii tof the space thus allotted among the intending exhibitor s as will be most creditable to their district, or to the, particular branch of industry which they re present. The cot nmittees to which the demands will be referred will be as follows :- 1. For Machinery and Civil Engineering —The Coun cil of the Institution of Civil Engineers. 2. Agricultural Machinery—The Committee ap. pointed by the Royal Agricultural Society. 3. Manerfactures (Metropolis)—The Associate Com mittee for particular Trades. 4.

H. C. OWEN, Captain RE., Secretary. between Russia and Europe is to assume that it signifies nothing to German Governments' whether there shall or shall not be any European law protecting the weaker States against the more powerful. If, in fact, there were any. Governments in Europe to which the concerted ag• grossions of Russia were matters of Mae importance, these were the Governments of France and England, for to them the Czar offered a certain deference and a cer tain share of the spoil, while of the German Govera ments he spoke in language evincing little more respect than he showed to Turkey itself. The simple truth is that Prussia, or, as we should rather say, the Prussian Court, is content to forego the conideration, not only of German 'interests, but of European interests altogether, for the sake of preserving an alliance deemed essential to the'stability of absolutist .princigleS in Gerniany. The real question debated at Berlin is not how the Emperor of Russia can be brought to reason in the mattei• of Turkey, but how a Govern ment so useful to absolute monarchies as that of the Czar can be protectedirom humiliation or damage. This is the object which is disguised by a false solicitude kir the par ticular interests of Germany, and it is this fact which alone explains the inconsistencies of Prussian policy. Prussia could not pretend to deny that the Czar was in the wrong, and she would have been not ill pleased if he could have been persuaded, without much abatement of his pretensions, to put himself by timely concession in the right ' • but, now that th e a ff a i r h as come t o blows, and that a war has been commenced which is likely to carry loss to the vanquished, she is only anxious to prevent the consequences from falling too severely on the Government to which she looks for political sym pathy and succour. With this view, she abstains from entering the field herself, and intimidates Austria into a like resolution, while, by palliating the conduct of Russia, and throwing out insinuations against the policy of the allies, she does her best to render the contest less unequal than it would be, and to provide the Czar with what he would otherwise want—the friendship of a European Government. Prussia, Nyhile-ruled upon :lb , solute principles, cannot be a party to any operations, however justifiable, which would weaken the great champion of absolutism. Such is the simple explanation of the case before the world. As it happens, this conduct is not likely to have much influence on the eventual result of the con test. A more honest course of policy might indeed have brought the war to a more speedy termination ; but the forces of France and England will, it may be reasonably assumed, prove quite sufficient for effecting the parposes in view, and Prussia will be left is the posi tion to which such proceedings must consign her. We cannot, however, omit to point out a moral which a cer tain class of politicians among ourselves may draw from these events, and which must prove, we should think, immediately fatal to the theory of international' " arbi tration." Who, in European differences, could be arbi trators except the representatives of the controlling Powers of Europe ' • and how could an i mpar ti a l arbitra tion be anticipated from umpires, some of whom, as is now shown, do not hesitate to consider the interests of a political party as superior even to the requirements of justice put on record by themselves ? The operations -of the allied forces will soon, we trust, enable Europe to look with profound indifference on the politics of Prus sia ; but this conduct of a Power pretending to no in considerable weight in the affairs of the world should not be lost sight of in future times.—Times. OUR TRADE AND COMMERCE IN THE PACIFIC. A considerable degree of apathy and indifference still prevails respecting the extension of-our commercial re lations with the islands and States situate in the Pacific Ocean. This can scarcely result in the present day, from inadequate knowledge of their position and re sources, but most probably arises from a concentration of attention on other points, to which the tide of com merce has been more directly turne3. Still it cannot be deniell that we are .too ready to abandon all the most prosperous and lucrative sources of trade in that quarter to American enterprise ; and even the French are stealing a march on us in commercial transactions among the equatorial island groups to the Pacific. The whole of the Pacific Ocean is studded with islands abounding in every species of tropical production, whose riches are, to a great extent, at present unknown and un sought. In those islands are to be procured trepang, or bdcb6-de-mer, arrowroot, cocoa-nut oil, tortoiseshell, timber of various descriptions, sponge, matting, fibres, and coarse rope, together with various fruits. There also is a soil capable of growing all tropical produce, if encou ragement were but given to the natives to cultivate it. The Pacific Islands were long since called " the West Indies of the Southern Hemisphere." The internal traffic of the Pacific has scarcely yet commenced ; that traffic of the Pacific depends on a natural law—the bene ficial exchange of the productions of one climate for those of another. The American coast west of the Rocky Mountains is now peopled by a hardy, enterprising, and persevering race of men, who are destined to become the lords of the Pacific Ocean. Already, within the short space of four or five years, half a million of people have settled in the New States, in the far north-west, and, under their in fluence, the waters between Asia and America will be come—what the waters of the Western Hemisphere have long been—the high road to commerce. Although the !Pacific trade is yet in its infancy, the op portunities and channels for its expansion are im mense. Three years ago the British trade with the South Seas and the Pacific amounted in value to 3,000,0001., and our trade with the South American States on the Pacific to 2,250,0001. more ; whilst the value of the United States' exports, in 1851, to the South American States on the Pacific and the Islands, was but half-a-million sterling. Since then. American commerce in that quarter has received an im mense impetus, and the merchants of California are striking out energetically, in all directions, in those seas. The North Pacific is now traversed in various quarters by an immense fleet of American whaling vessels, giving employment to nearly 20,000 seamen, and the principal place of resort for these vessels is the Sand wich Islands. Besides the direct trade between Cali fornia and the Isthmus, in passengers, light goods, and specie, steam communication has recently been com menced by American enterprise between the porta of Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Pa nama. The scope of country thus opened to commerce is one of the richest in natural production on the Conti nent, whilst its virgin wealth has been comparatively . untouched. Guatemala, the most northern of the Cen tral American States, with its population of 500, 000 souls, is rich in all the minerals and precious metals, and the soil, being extremely fertile, produces sarsaparilla, cocoa, corn, and fruits in the greatest variety, besides cochineal. The value of the British trade is about 500,0001. San Salvador is smaller than G uatemala, hav ing a population of about 300,000; but produces in luxuriance, indigo, dyewoods, rice, sugar, and fruits. Honduras, having a limited extent of coast on the Pacific, also abounds in minerals and dyewoods, but is principally a grazing country. Nicaragua, with her 350,000 in habitants, is one of the richept producing States in America. Costa Rica is becoming one of the most im portant republics in that region, and is particularly noted for her fine copper. Next comes New Granada, a State of similar character, with which the United . States already carry on an import and export trade of the value of 400,0001. to 500,0001. per an num. To the southward, some 300 miles from Panama, is San Buena Ventura, one of the greatest avenues of wealth on the western coast of America, not only on ac count of its mineral and agricultural productions, but by reason of its geographical position and proximity to the valley of the Amazon, and from thence large quan tities of gold dust are sent monthly to Panama and Lima. The imports into the Central American States amount to about 1,400,0001. annually. The exports for 1852 reached the sum of 2,100,0001. But correct statistical returns relative to the Central American Re publics are difficult to obtain, as very few are kept ; and civil dissensions occasionally interrupt them where they are even kept with anything like system. Hitherto the Pacific has been a field of adventure rather than of regular commerce. Till recently it has been cut off from all direct communication with the trade and civilisation of Europe and America. No maritime nations of importance have occupied any part of the extensive line of coast by which it is circum scribed, and within which it has lain in silent repose, rather like a secluded lake than a mighty peopled ocean. But a new destiny is beginning to dawn upon it. The Pacific is casting its hitherto dormant wealth into the lap of those whose perseverance, skill, and daring enterprise have called it into life ; and the forests and prairies of its shores are being re duced to the service of man. The sound of the ocean's waves aro no longer echoed by the silent rocks, but are repeated by the busy murmur ings of human life. The steam-vessel foams along the coasts and rivers on the western shores of America, where the canoe once glided, and the wharf and the palace have supplanted the wigwam and the pine-tree. Barren and untenanted islands have yielded up treasures to com merce which have enriched states and individuals, and, by fertilising distant lands, have proved a blessing to thousands. If we look still further westward the vista is equally interestipg. A British surveying expedition 1 in the Pacific seas is' accomplishing results which will prove highly beneficial to Australian mariners, and a similar expedition sent out by the American Govern ment, under Commodore Ringgold, is destined to open to eastern commerce certain accessible routes and chan nels of approach from the Australian ports to China, to the east of New Holland, and perhaps through some of the various groups of islands known as the New Hebrides, New Britannia, New Guinea, thence up by the Csro line, Pellew, and Philippine Islands to Canton. The examinations and surveys of Commodores Perry and Ringgold, of the American navy, of the French squadron in the Pacific, and of the Commanders of her Majesty's ships Herald, Torch, and Pandora, will accomplish much in the surveys of the coasts and harbours of New Zealand, New Caledonia, New Guinea, and the Feegees, of the islands of Japan, and of the two or three routes formed by the great chain of islands lying between the meridi ans of 150 degrees and 170 degrees east longitude. "The prospect of trade opened up (observes an Austra lian contemporary) is dazzling in the extreme. America, I A us tralia, Japan, China, India, and 'the isles,' are th e , countries tb.st will furnish the elements of this Jaw [PRICE SD. commerce. China has a population of 200,000 ; 000 on her sea -coast alone, 4nd is on the eve of great changes, t which mu st tend to throyv her commerce more open o the world. Japan, . with h e r population of 130,000,000, h as recently, by treaty, • permitted free intercourse with her people. As for India; she only reqiiires the means of internal communication to re enrich the world. Wo have also to take into calculation the vast but undeveloped resources of Polyne.sia, and the Indian ..kreLipelago. 'The Sandwich Illtiads and Samoan Group already show, a progress whict:lld scarcely be credited. The other groups' of PelYriesia rni:Yht also be rapidly developed under a system of regular steam communication, which would cress- this very path..

G u i nea, New Caledonia,'New Zealand, and Othe4T, which Come under the general denomination of Alkstralasia.7 ( All these form, as it were, the passive.agents of com merce ; and it devolves upon America and Australia, as the active agents, to turn them to good 'account. The connecting links of the chain are still wanting in periodi cal steam communication across the Pacific. And it is an unparalleled circumstance that, with an import and export bade with Australia, which reached last year in value to 27,000,0001. we have at present no•regular line of steam. communication direct from kugland to the Australasian colonies. Trade, however, preserves its steady course, and eagerly seeks new channels for de velopment. Commerce and civiliS•ation are being carried by the three great nations among the islands of the South Seas, and, ere many years have elapsed, the calm still watee's of the Pacific Ocean will be covered by as many steamers as now traverse the Atlantic. British merchants:and shipowners should not be behind hand in the contest for success. They have the means and the will at command, and require but the finger-post to poin • t their attention to ,t.lae field of operations,—Ship ping Gazette. APPOINTMENTS.

The Russian-Fin and Russian cadets, prisoners of war on board the Devonshire and Benbow, have this day signed their paroles, and come on shore on the subsistence money granted them, viz., 7s. per day. There are in all 1,140 prisoners of war taken at Bomar sund now on board the Devonshire and Benbow. THE ROYAL YACHT. Her Majesty having dispensed for the season with the services of the Royal yacht Victoria and Albert, the crew of that vessel will on Monday nest be turned over to the rigging department, the officers going to the Royal George hulk. MILITARY. The Janus steam-vessel arrived at Woolwich dockyard . on Thursday evening, and having taken on board a supply of coals, went down yesterday to the Royal Arsenal, where she will take on board a large supply of shot and shells , for conveyance to Portsmouth, t o b e pu t on board vessels under orders to proceed to the Black Sea. A woman, wife of one of the soldiers in Chatham bar racks, having died of cholera, and it having been ascertained that she had been ill with diarrhoea for several days with out seeking medical advice, the authorities have very pro perly decided, since her death, that the whole of the troops in Chatham barracks are to parade every morning for medical inspection; and also that the whole of the women and children are to assemble every morning for the purpose of being inspected as to the state of their health. The garrison orders issued at Chatham on the 13th inst. direct that the tattoo-roll shall be called at a quarter past eight o'clock p.m., commesfcing on Thursday, Sept. 14. This is rather an early date for the tattoo change, as in most garrisons it does not change until the month of October. The change, however, is no doubt advisable at the present period, when cholera is so prevalent in many districts, as it will be the means of inducing the soldiers who frequent the taverns to return earlier to their barracks, and, con sequently, be less liable to get intoxicated, and thereby become more liable to be attacked by cholera. Orders have also been issued that the cooks or other persons in the barracks aro not to put any cabbage-leaves or other vege table refuse in the dust pits. The persons supplying the vegetables have been told that they must take away the refuse on the following morning. The freight ship Bury St. Edmunds arrived from Madras at Gravesend on the 13th inst., with invalids for Chatham. They 12nded. on Thur sday, and proceeded in vans and other vehicles to St. Mary's barracks and Fort Pitt. They left Madras on the 6th of May. A part of the 18th Regiment of Foot vacated St. Mary's barracks on the 12th inst. to make room for invalids, and joined the head-quarters of the regiment at Chatham bdr racks. No. 17 transport passed Woolwich on hor way up to Deptford yesterday, from the Mediterranean. She has brought home a number of women whose husbands had left Malta, Corfu, and Cephalonia for the seat of war in the East. THE CIVIL SERVICE. The Secretary at War, Mr. Sidney Herbert, has con• seated to allow the following extra clerks, who are be tween 18 and 30 years of age, in consideration of the services they have given, to undergo examination as competitors for some of the new appointments to be made on the permanent establishment of the War-office, viz., Messrs.

DEFEAT OF THE RUSSIANS BY SCHAMYL. Our c olumns this morning contain the most satisfac tory intelligence which has yet been received from the seat of war in Asia. After the intrigues and imbecility which leave hitherto characterised the proceedings of the Turkish army in Armenia, it is refreshing to turn to the vigorous inroad of Schamyl and his Circassian followers into the very heart of Georgia, and to calculate the amount of injury which he has inflicted on the common enemy. In a great battle near Tiflis the Russians were utterly defeated by their old and implacable foe. They lost, we are informed, "many men, seven guns, 3,000 tents, and all their baggage," and, in addition, " all the provisions and ammunition of the Russians fell into the hands of the victors." It is by exploits such as these— by hard and frequent blows on well-fought fields, and not by diplomatic negotiations or by naval demonstra tions, which lead to nothing—that the Emperor Nicholas will be brought to feel the hopeless nature of the struggle into which he has rushed, and that pe ace will be restored to the world. No wonde r , th en , that after such a signal overthrow, the Russian power in Georgia should totter to its fall, and that Prince Bebutoff should be summoned from Armenia to restore, if possible, the fallen fortunes of his Imperial master. c a mSimultaneouslyintelligence with that til the e ne w r s u rupture rSecbheatmwYel;na v i ctory Persia and the Porte was complete. We hope that none of our readers will be weak enough to imagine that the conduct of Persia has anything to do with the issue of the struggle between Russia and Turkey. Persia is the Prussia of the East, and the policy of the Court of Teheran has been as vacillating as that of Berlin. When the Turks gain a victory the Russian Envoy is dismissed, and when the Russian fortunes are uppermost the Turkish Mi nister is suddenly requested to leave the country. Despised or detested by all Powers alike, the Shah of Persia owes his political existence to the long suffer ance of England, for, if it suited us to take any notice of his misconduct, the appearance of a few vessels in the Persian Gulf, carrying a very small portion of our Bom bay army to the port of Bushire, would soon bring out that double-faced Potent a t e on his knees. On such a Sovereign, to-day Turk and to-morrow Russian, but who is really at the mercy of England, the influence of a British Envoy ought to be supreme ; and for this rea son, without wishing at all to disparage the exertions of those diplomatists who have lately represented this coun try, at the Court of the Shah, we are glad to see from an announcement in the last night's Gazette, that British interests are about to be cared for at Teheran, and that Mr. Murray, formerly Consul-General in Egypt, and lately British Minister at Berne, is to proceed as Pleni potentiary to Persia. A better appointment could not have been made, and we have little doubt that the energy and ability of Mr. Murray will exercise the most salutary influence on the policy of tha Shah.—Times. - T THE POLICY OF THE PRUSSIAN COUBT. The policy of the Prussian Goverment at this crisis of the affairs of Europe is not to be disguised by any subtleties of diplomatic language, or any affectation of impartial motives. The truth is plainly discernible through all the veils with which it ishoped to disguise it, and every observer of European politics is perfectly aware that Prussia has not only been false to the cause which she herself approved, but is doing all that lies in her power to frustrate the more generous exer tions of others. No ophistry of explanation or argument can affect then simple ficts of the case before the public. A serious dispuie exists between Russia and Europe, originating in an aggression of the former power upon a neighbouring held to be a violation of European lbw, and, as such, calling for European intervention. In the exercise of State, which was this intervention, and fur the enforcement of those prin ciples by which the peace of Europe, like the internal peace of any particular State, is uph e ld, E ng l an d an d France have resorted to arms, and are at this moment endeavouring to compel Russia to the abandonment of her offensive claims, and to the observance of pub lic law. Now, it would bo competent to Prussia, or to any other Government, eithe r to take a different view of the original quarrel and to pronounce Rus siai the right, or to . maintain that, though Rus might have been wrong, th e terms _ no w pro posed to her as conditions of peace were oppressive and severe. But neither of these positions has been token by the Prussian court. That court has expressly acknowledged—first, that the view taken by the Western Powers of Russia's conduct was entirely justifiable ; and next, that the terms of peace which these Governments have offered were such as ought to have been accepted. Nevertheless, in direct defiance of th ese admissions, the efforts of the Prussian Cabinet hav e been unceasinglyniaotanocinlyt h r e efu e s m e; upports every but d oes a ll i n R ussian off ence , an d e a i l l : a w t es e intov every y execution , directed meteronwttoaorsfde screen n e a st protection e pr o . f r u ß ess u hi a s e s is unremitting in her endeavours to pre vent Austria from her ßu s a s i i a d n in s u carrying , t h p co-operating actively with France and England. Con scious of the blame which such conduct must incur, she has now attempted to vindicate her policy by a reference to the particular interests which she was kound to con sult, and as if they supplied no incitement to active in tervention. We think it would not be difficult to show that, as far as any such distinction of interests can be drawn, those of Germany are certainly more nearly involved in the pending quarrel than those of France or England. It surely concerns Germany more than any other nation that the navigation of the Danube should be free nor could any Governments be more interested th an the German Governments in the maintenance of the principles which secure a weak State from the aggressions of a strong one. The first glance at a map of Europe will show that Eng land and France would be the last to be devoured in the case of a Russian advance upon the West, nor has it ever been pretended that these Powers are promoting any interests of their own in tho war they have under taken. On the contrary, it has been explicity declared in the State papers of the two Governments, that they look for no territorial acquisitions, or other similar ad vantages, but are actuated solely by the desire of re dressing the grievance presently suffered by the Otto man empire, and of preventing the recurrence of any such disturbances in future. The obligations incumbent upon the Western Powers in this respect were simply identi cal with those incumbent upon the Governments of Germany, for they consisted merely in the common duty of upholding public law, and to this duty on e S tate can be no more bound than another. To assert that German interests are not involved in the decision of the dispute THE CHOLERA. DIRECTIONS AND REGULATIONS OF THE GENERAL BOARD OF HEALTH. I.

DITNEVAN'S, STErNEY.—Yesterday forenoon Mr. William Baker, the coroner, held an inquest at the Crown and Aarohor, Store r- s tree t, St. Dunstan's, Step ney, on view the body of Janet Dean, aged 72 years, who died very soddenly from choleraic diarrhcea, at No. 1, Great Turner-street, Commercial-road, East. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased was the wife of a commercial clerk, and generally enjoyed a good state of health ; but on Tuesday morning last she was seized with diarrhcea and sickness. Deceased had suffered very severely from neglected diarrhcea, which produced prostration and general exhaustion. Verdict, " natural death from choleraic diarrhcea." There have been no fewer than twenty-five deaths in the union, which includes Mile End Old Town ; St. Paul's, Shad well ; St. John's, Wapping ; the hamlet of Ratcliff, and St. A nne's, Limehouse, during the last three days. A seaman was removed from a barge yesterday, which was lying in the eastern basin of the Regent's Canal Dock, Rai:cliff. Ho was suffering from a severe attack of the disc ase, and after being seen by Mr. Cleland, one of the me , iical officers of the union, he was conveyed to the cholera. ward of the London Hospital, where he ex pired last evening. THE Pi? XCINCT AND LIBERTY Or THE Towers.—Late on Thursday evening, Mr. Baker, the coroner for the liberty of the Tower, held a long► inquiry at the Old George Tavern, Trinity-square, Tower-hill, on view of the body oda respectable man, unknown, who died sud denly from, a severe attack of Asiatic cholera, while sit ting on a form on Tower-hill. In the deceased's bat were some bread and meat. On one piece of paper was written the following :—" William Keates will thank any person who may think him worthy of their employ ment. I am one of the unfortunate, and am afflicted with deficient speech. lam not particular what it may be, so that. I can occupy my time with credit to myself and to the benefit of my employer. I have a little sup port from the interest of 31101. in the Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Stock. I can give respectable references as to character in London and Bath."

The extraordinary expenses, in addition to the above, are stated to be 3,5611., and still further reduce the net adaa maintenance receipts by th at amount.

The bill a u th or i s i ng the construrc. tion of the Selkirk and Galashiels R a il way received the . Royal assent on the 31st of July. It is proposed that the North British Company should work the line for te n years. The directors regret that their negotiations with the Peebles Railway Company for the working of that railway have been abortive. They offered to work the Peebles line at the actual cost, whatever that might be. The directors have appointed the Hon. E. G. Petre loco motive superintendent, and they fully anticipate greatly increased efficiency in that department. Out of the 450 goods waggons ordered, 295 have been supplied, and there remain 155 to be supplied. These additions to the stock will be a means of the further improvement of the revenue. The directors deeply regret that in spite of the very large increase of revenue, they are not in a position to recommend a dividend ; but they do not hesitate to express their belief that in future the ordinary share holders will participate in the progressive profits of the railway, and they trust that the data contained in their repor6 will enable the proprietors at large to form a cor rect judgment of the value of their stock. The capital account to the 31st of July shows that 4,518,636/. had been received, and 4,411,4671. expended, leaving a balance of 97,015/. arrears of calls, and 10,153/. balance of bond on Halbeath Railway, to meet 35,638/. due to bonders and others.

The loan account shows that 1,091,438/. has been borrowed, of which 295,601/. has been borrowed at 5 per cent., 242,5701. at 4i per cent., and 259,0031. at 4 per cent. WATERFORD AND KILKENNY. - - The line from Dunkitt to Waterford, forming the junction of the Waterford and Kilkenny and Waterford and Limerick Railways is now completed, and the formal opening of this portion on Monday last was attended with the most favourable results. The excellence of the new line, and the difficulties that have been surmounted in carrying out operations through the Great Marsh between Dunkitt and the Suir, as well as the formation of a wooden viaduct over the most difficult part of the marsh, and another over the Blackwater river, are alike matters of congratulation. The Waterford terminus exhibits the light and excellent design of the Dublin Exhibition building as being peculiarly applicable to rail way purposes. The day's proceedings were brought to a conclusion by the officials of both companies dining together at Waterford. TA. meeting of the directors of the two companies was held at Waterford last Friday week, and arrangements of the most harmonious character was perfected for the mutual working of both lines.

THE LATE ABORTION Casa. --Our readers cannot have forgotten the very extraordinary and serious case of abortion which took place at Clapha m in the month of June last year, for which three persons named Cunning ham, Currie, and Thomas had been tried at the Old Bailey, and with which the name of the Rev. George C. Gordon, then one of the Curates of St. Andrew's, Hol born, was so unpleasantly associated. The young lady who was the prosecutrix, and who had been subjected to the most abominable treatment, was Miss Eliza Mordon, the daughter of a retired tradesman residing in El y; place, Holborn ; and the her shame and sufferings was the Rev. Mr. Gordon, then a popular preacher, and at the times lodger in the v house person who was the cause of of her father.
