berg, but the general impression among those best informed is that the Prussian Foreign Minister has been apprised from St. Petersburg that the docu- - ment may be expected to arrive without delay. It is further asserted that the reply will not be of a positively negative character, but rather of such a nature as is calculated to embarrass Austria, and, if possible, furnish her with a fair pretext for proposing renewed negotiations. Nor is anything known as to the result of M. Von der Pfordten's mission to Vienna. No reply, at all events, has been received from the Austrian Cabi net, although grounds exist for believing that Count Buol has expressly declared that, come what may, Austria will not tie herself down to any con ditions or engagements, but hold to that course which she may deem most beneficial to her own interests. The last Russian.loan, of which a portion was negotiated at this place, is quoted in the regularly published Stock list of this afternoon, as having been done at 89. This item appears in the printed lists under the head of "Newest Russian Loan." Count de Goltz left Berlin on the 4th for his post as Prussian ambassador at Athens. It is said that he is charged expressly with the task of doing all he can to maintain a good accord be tween the Western Powers and the Greek Govern- ment. The _Mentz Journal of the sth says :—" By supe rior orders, all disposable horses aro to be brought on the 21st inst. to the military authorities, who will purchase and pay ready money for them. It is not known whether this measure is preparatory to putting the Prussian army on a war footing." AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Nov. 7.—With regard to M. von der Pfordten's mission nothing positive has as yet -transpired. Count Buol gave a grand diplo matic dinner yesterday in honour of the Bavarian Prime Minister, who was to have left Vienna this evening. Matters seem to be going on very well. We hear that 20,000 Bavarians are to march into Vorarlberg, and to take up their head-quarters at Kempten, in virtue of a special convention with Austria (if not as a federal contingent), in order not to expose the strategic-political balance of power in Upper Italy by the necessary withdrawal of Aus trian troops to the north and east. I hope in my next letter to be able to say more hereon. With respect to the disastrous affair of the 25th, the Lithograph Correspondence says :—" It is known for a certainty that the Turks deserted their batteries on the first attack, and shamefully took to flight without having opposed any resistance to the enemy whatever. The consequence was that the Russians were enabled to turn the very guns of these batteries against the advancing Eng lish light cavalry. A temporary confusion and a severe loss to the English were the inevitable re sult, which is entirely attributable to the cowardly, or it may be treacherous, conduct of the Turks." To this I can only add, that i t is to be hoped for the credit of our allies, who have hitherto borne so high a character for indomitable bravery, that this intelligence with regard to their conduct on this occasion may turn out to be not altogether correct. The following telegraphic despatches have been received here : " TURIN, Nov. 3.—lt is said that the plan for raising a loan of 40 millions of livres is being prepared. Tho Cattolico publishes a pastoral letter of the Archbishop Franconi, from Lyons, against the sequestration of the nunnery and convent in Piedmont." "ROME, Nor. 1.--Several ecclesiastical princes, and amongst others his Eminence the Cardinal Prince Schwartzenberg, have arrived." "Conru, Oct. 31.—Heat, following suddenly upon rainy weather, has destroyed a third of the olives. The consequence of this is that the yield of oil will not ex ceed 22,000 barrels." FRANCE. PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING. By a decree of the Emperor the government of Goree, and of the French establishments to the southward of that island, is, from the Ist January next, confided to a commandant residing at Goree, and placed under the superior orders of the Com mander-in-chief of the naval squadron on the wes tern coast of Africa. The journals of Nantes remark that the noble and wealthy family of La Bourdannaye has been severely afflicted by the war in the Crimea, one son of Mme. de la Bourdannaye having been killed at the battle of the Alma, and the other before Sebas topol on the 17th ult. The Sentinelle of Toulon states that the Turenne and Donawerth, which have just sailed from that port, had on board 1,218 soldiers for the army of the East. Immediately after the Royal sitting the Belgian Senate proceeded to the nomination of its bureau, when the Prince de Ligne was elected president, MM. de Renesse and d'Omalius d'Halloy, vice-pre sidents ; MM. Grenier-Lefebvre, Spitaels, de Pit teurs, and Da Trien de Terdouck secretaries ; and MM. do Rodes and de Ribaucourt questors. MM. d'Omalius d'Halloy, de Renesse, Delaftille, than, Grenier-Lefebvre, Van Schoor, Savart, and de Tornaco were chosen as the committee on the address. Nothing was _done in the Chamber of. Representatives. We read in the Scntinelle Toulannaise of the sth inst. : " Another ship of the line and four frigates, detached from the Baltic squadron, are hourly expected at Toulon. It is even probable this number will be in creased, if, as it is reported, the Government intends to send to the army of the East a reserve of 30,000 men, supplied by the camp of the south and the garrisons of the interior. It will require about 50 large ships of heavy , tonnage to convey that force, with all the materiel necessary, at this late season of the year. Therefore it is to be supposed that the greater part of Admiral Persevere squadron will be employed for the transport of those reinforcements. In order to expedite the conveyance of provisions to the East the commissariat at Toulon keeps all hands at extra work until 10 at night, even on Sundays. 250 men of the 14th Regiment of the Line arrived last night from the depot to fill up the vacancies, and to be in readiness to embark."

SPAIN . MADRID, Nov. 4.—The review of the National Guard, which was announced to take place to morrow, when their colours were to be presented to them by the Queen, has been countermanded. A meeting of the commanders of battalions took place at the residence of General San Miguel, on the return of the latter from Toledo; and ex planations were given by the general himself, and by Senors Mollinedo, Beroqui, Count Parsent, and others, with respect to the nature and object of the recent visit of the officers to the Queen, which has given rise to so much comment. The upshot of what transpired was that the visit was to be re garded as a mere mark of respect to which no political importance was to be attached. The Diane Espanol says that there are now en listed in Spain about 200,000 National Guards. The regular troops scarcely exceed at the present moment one-fourth of that number. It is said that both Cabrera and Elio are ex pected on the northern frontier. Senor Salamanca, has arrived here from the north, and is staying at his palace at the Recoletos. MEXICO.

A very decided improvement had taken place in several of the mines of Zaeotecas, while those of Guanajuato continued on the decline. Considerable excitement is said to have prevailed in the capital, on account of the foreign ministers having refused to attend a ball given to Santa Anna, in cord ' mernoration of Lis victorious entry into Mexico during the war of independence, merely because they were ex pected, according to the published laws of etiquette, to attend in uniform. Chapman, the Newcastle banker, whose apprehension was announced a few weeks ago for non-payment of calls due to the Union Bank of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, of which he was for many years managing director, has been bailed out of prison by his friends. They undertake that he shall not leave the country, but no arrangement has yet been made for squaring his accounts with the bank. The case, it is believed, will be prosecuted to a bankruptcy, which will, of course, lead to a full disclo sure of his affairs and transactions ; but it is possible that his friends, some of whom are very wealthy, will prevent this by satisfying the claims of the bank. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 10, 1854. MONEY MARKET AND COALIT TAL INT I,LTtIENCE. CITY, TW 0 O'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 10,000 bales, including 1,500 American, and 500 Surat, taken for export and on speculation. The market closed firmly, with prices well main tained, and common qualities of Surats per lb. higher. The sales comprised 7,500 American, 350 Perham and Maranham at 51d. to 80., 700 Egyp tian at sgd. to 82d., and 1,500 Surat at 3.fd. to 41-d., per lb. Railway Shares were quiet, at lower prices. Colonial produce has been taken to a fair extent this week; and at former prices. Sugar, however, has rather tended downwards. Coffee has been firm, and in spices there has been no alteration. More has been done in tea, and rice has been in better demand, at advanced rates. Cotton has been heavy of sale ; saltpetre is held more firmly ; cochineal has declined about ld. per pound ; hemp and flax have been rather in increased request ; and tallow has not been brisk, but maintains its value. The condition of the London dried fruit trade is ius described by Messrs. Witherby and Han son : "The market for currants has been since our October report in an inactive state. The trade have confined their purchases of the late arrivals at Liverpool, which have latterly obtained here SOs. to 855., or ss. to 7s. above the opening price at the port. This fruit is superior in quality and condition to the bulk of 1853 crop, but quite inferior to 1851 Cephalonias. The cargo per Tantivy is not equal to the Liverpool fruit, but is held at SOs. for butts. For barrels and cases of the Liverpool fruit 90s. is asked. 1851 fruit continues to be neglected. The French decree prohibiting distillation from grain has raised a hope of that country helping to relieve this mar ket of its low 1852 and 1853 fruit ; holders accordingly are less inclined to realise at present, but no purchases of any extent have yet been made. The continued ship ments to the northern ports of Europe have, however, considerably reduced the stock of such description." In the Liverpool circular of Messrs. Houghton and Levy is the following respecting distillation from currants : " The stock of '5l is only very trifling, and, with the limited supply of new, not at all adequate to a moderate consumption. The better description of other growths will no doubt ere long come into notice, and as the French Government has prohibited distillation from grain strong hopes are entertained that the low qualities will be taken for that purposs ; distillers there have already given their attention to this, and amovement is in progress to petition the Government for the import of currants and raisins duty free, for such purposes—a facilitation which, it is anticipated, they will obtain. The Economist of last week makes a similar suggestion to the distillers of this country, or to be allowed to distil in bond under control, and remarks that, if this is contemplated, steps should be taken at once, before any measure be adopted in France v4iich would cause the low-priced fruits to pass to that market. The duty-paid clearances have materially in creased, from 95 tons in September to 270 tons in Octo ber ; the same month last year they were only 45 tons. The exports also show a favourable result, being 130 tons, against 90 tons in September ; in October, 1853, they had almost ceased." The foreign commercial advices are of a meagre character this morning. The stock markets of the Continent at the latest date were heavy, but money, generally, is abundant. The Neapolitan Govern ment has prolonged the right of free importation of grain to June, 1855. The English Funds have been very depressed again, and the supply of money stock still exceeds the demand. The decline at the Paris Bourse undoubtedly has an injurious effect, and the exaggerated apprehension about the dura tion of the Sebastopol siege is also working. Con sols have been 937 to 94k, and are since 93/ to 93 for transfer. The account prices have been 94k I, and are now 93 to 94. The new 3 per Cents. have been 921 to 93, and the Reduced 9.2 i to 93i. In Bank Stock nothing has been done. EaSt India Stock is 233 to 235. Exchequer Bills have been Gs. to Bs., and India Bonds lls. to 14s. premium. Business in the foreign market has been quite at a stand-still, the only security dealt in being Turk ish Scrip, which has not recovered much, being to l i t discount. The contractors have announced that they will exchange the bonds just issued for new ones properly signed by them. The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 5i to 6 ; Mexi can, 22a to 22i ; Peruvian, 68 to 70 ; ditto, 3 per Cents., 48 to 50 ; Portuguese 41per Cents., 40 to 42 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 95 to 97 ; ditto, 4 per Cents., 84 to 86 ; Spanish New Deferred, 18 to 181 ; itto, 3 per Cents., 37-i to 38 ; ditto, Certificates, 51 to 5i ; ditto, Passive, 4t, to - 4f7,-. The Railway Share Market has been declining, with more sales pressed. Great Northern, how ever, have been looking up. North Eastern, Cale don, North Western, and Lancashire and York shire are heavy. The Foreign lines have been a shade lower, and with but few transactions. The Colonial Mines are in some request, the Banks scarcely so good, and the Miscellaneous Com panies, including Crystal Palace, lower.

Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, has been engaged for three days inquiring into the circum stances attending the death of Edwin Roe, aged one year, who died from the effects of arsenic. The inquiry took place in the Royal George Tavern, Union-street, Rotherhithe, and excited, at each sitting, considerable interest. The following will be found to be a brief sum mary of this important inquest : Harriet Roe said that she was the wife of William Roe, a hoop-slaayer, and she lived in Wild's-court, Ja maica -level, Rotherhithe. The deceased was her son. A person who came to her house gave him a halfpenny, for the purpose of purchasing at a shop a cake. Her son George went out with her children and was absent about five minutes, and on' his return she saw a cake in the deceased's hand. It was a flat cake, covered with carraway seed, coloured blue, yellow, and pink. She broke the cake, giving part to the deceased and the remainder to another child of hers, named William, aged three years. The portion' which she gave to the deceased he ate, and the other child also ate what he bad. He had his dinner that day, consisting of mutton, pudding, and some potatoes. After partaking of the breast, witness made some sop for the child, which it refused to take. The deceased continued to fret, and she put it in the cradle, where it slept for nearly an hour and a half. Upon awaking it vomited. It went to sleep again until about nine o'clock. She told her husband that the child seemed convulsed, but he did not think medical aid necessary. Between half-past ten and eleven o'clock she retired to bed, keeping a candle burning lest the infant should wake. At , a quarter past twelve he got worse, and appeared sick at the stomach, and he made an attempt to vomit, but could throw nothing up. She then sent her husband for a doctor. On his return Mr. Burns came, who saw the child. She informed him what it had partaken of during the day, and that after eating the cake he was not out of her presence. Mr. Burns sent some medicine by her husband, consisting of a powder and mixture. The powder was put into the mouth, and two teaspoonfuls of the liquid in a few minutes afterwards. She then placed some hot flannel to the stomach, and as she did so the child struggled in her arms and expired. She could not account for the death otherwise : it was altogether tin expected. George Roe said that he was 14 years of age. The deceased was his brother. On Sunday week preceding the present inquiry he carried him to the house of Mrs. Banks, who keep s a li tt l e s h op for the sale of ca k es an d sweets,' and other articles of provision. Mrs. Banks' son served him with one. He asked for a seed-cake. The top was coloured, and the seeds were blue, white, yellow, and green. His mother gave the best portion to his brother William, and the other part to the deceased, in his presence. • The room having been cleared, the Jury consulted and returned a verdict "That the deceased died from inflammation of the stomach and intestines, caused by eating a cake with coloured carraway seeds thereon, these containinc , arsenic ; but they (th e j ury ) considered the same death had not arisen through such a want of care in the making of such cakes as amounts to an act of cricaivality.".

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. QUEEN V. ALLETNE AND OTHERS. It will be remembered that in this case two persons named Alleyne, both formerly in the army, and Capt. D'A rcey, were some two or three years ago convicted in this Court of conspiring to defraud Capt. Kennedy of 7,5001., and sentenced by the Court to fine and imprisonment ; the terms of imprisonment being limited to six, twelve, and' twenty-four months. The conspiracy arose out of a bet of a fabulous amount rela tive to a trotting-match, in which the defendant backed a well-known ‘ rica b n u t t r , ot b t y er, fr c a a u l d le a d u Pigeon, e p t r o es d e o n t l a B miles . hour,itlliri.thAeme tion, Captain Kennedy was induced to compromise the %, bet for the above-mentioned sum of 7,5001. Immediately after the conviction of the defendants, they quitted the country and remained on the continent for some time, until at length a writ of error was served out at their instance for the purpose of setting the conviction aside on the ground of some technical errors committed in the course of the prosecution. This writ of error was allowed, there being no rejoinder to it on the part of Captain Kennedy, but it was alleged that the absence of a rejoinder was attributable to the fact that 5,5001. was paid by the defendants to prevent it, and the matter now came before the Court again, ex a rule calling upon the defendant to show cause why the writ of error should not be quashed, on the ground of the same having been sued out with a view to a compro mise of the original prosecution. The writ of error having been allowed by the Court, in default, one of the defendants, namely, Alexander I.l.`Geachy Alleyne, proceeded to indict Captain Kennedy and his attorney, Mr. Morris Newton, of Lanoaster place, Strand, together with Ignatius Francis Coyle, the chief witness in the trotting case, for a con spiracy in preferring the original prosecution ; and the rule for setting aside the writ of error, was issued at the instance of the two latter defendants, the Captain being en duty in the East Indies. The rule was supported by Mr. Sergeant Shee, with whom was Mr. Ruddiest on and Mr. Temple, and op. posed by Mr. Edwin James and Mr. Hawkins. The arguments on both sides, which occupied the attention of the court for nearly three days, were brought to a close this morning. Judgment was reserved. BAIL COURT. QIIBEN V. HENRY PORTER. Mr. M'Mahon applied to the court for a rule calling upon the magistrates of Staffordshire to admit the de fendant in this case to bail.

GENERAL CANIMBERT'S DESPATCH. We extract the following from a letter received from Paris this morning :—lt is true that General Can robert's late despatches are not very encouraging ; they are, perhaps, too discouraging ; but it lie quires very little to produce an effect on the tem per of a people who are so apt to run from one extreme to the other. Brave before the cannon's mouth, or on the barricades, your Parisian is the greatest moral coward to be found any where. He was elated with joy when the news of the taking of Sebastopol (the Tartar's story) spread like lightning all over Europe : and, now, because of a delay which, taking all things into consideration, is by no means extraordinary, he is beaten out of all life and spirit. At this moment there is no story, however terrible, which it may please any one to set abroad that would not Ind hundreds of men, otherwise rational, to give credit to. I believe the aforesaid Tartar had some thing to do with tho matter, as, but for the over expen diture of joy when his enormous imposture was first current, wo should not now witness the despondency which it will require some signal advantage to diminish or remove. Some surprise has been expressed at General Can robert writing despatches described as unneces sarily discouraging, but it is alleged that the General is far different front the generality of his countrymen. His character is serious, his temperament cold, his judgment slow but exact, and he is devoid of enthusiasm or of passion. He talks of thing. as they are, and when lie has not the certitude of realizing an object he never encourages hope. But whatever be the ground for the feeling I allude to, and which has become general, it is certain that a degree of disquietude is visible in official quarters. A considerable movement is observable in various branches of the War Department, and it is said that bodies of troops continue.to be moved to the south for embarca tion. Private letters from superior officers of the army of the Crimea have been received this morning ; and they speak of the chance between the Allies and the enemy having become so nearly balanced, that it is hazardous to give an opinion. It is very generally credited that an anticipated levy„ amounting te not less than 140,000 men, will be called out early next year. LIP.RANDTS HEAD-QUARTERS. According to a letter in the Augsburg Journal, Liprandi has had his head-quarters at Mackenzie's farm ever since the 22d, and his extreme left rests on Teller gun, and this consists of the Asow 231 and Dnieper 24th line, and the Ukrain 23d and Odessa 24th light regiments (that is, the whole of his own, the 12th division, 4th corps), with twelve pulks (probably a mistake for sotnias) of Cossacks. " The three attacks of Liprandi," continues the letter, "were not directed against the troops engaged in the siege, but against the English troops in position upon the flanks of the Chernaya, valley, in order to drive them out of the river territory which supplies the besieging troops with water. After three conflicts favourable for the Russians, Liprandi did,. in fact, succeed on the 25th in getting possession of the water conduit-tunnel near Karlespapus, and in taking up a fixed position on the Tchirkaia hill. This is undoubtedly a great advantage which the Russians have gained over the Allies in that circle. Meanwhile, I hear that General Canrobert has advanced with all the forces at hie disposal to drive the Russians out of that position." "ME FOUR POINTS." The following correspondence from Vienna, of sth inst., appears in the Breslaur Zeitung "As to the result of his (Herr von der Pfordten'e) exertions here, it would be too sanguine to suppose that he has brought about a perfect understanding between the two Powers. In this latter respect the auto graph letter of the King of Prussia to the Empe ror Franz Joseph, which was delivered by Graf Arnim on the 3d instant, has probably been of the greatest in fluence. The King is understood to have again, and in the most explicit terms, expressed his determination to go hand in hand with Austria in the matter of the guarantees, and is ready to undertake to threw the whole weight of Prussia and of those States that go with her in the Eastern question into the Austrian scale ; that not only any attack on Austrian troops, whether within or without the Austrian frontier shall be regarded as an attack on Germany, but that also , Germany and Prussia shall undertake to support Aus ' tria even in the contingency that she should assume the offensive—provided Austria will bind herself not to go beyond the four points in her demands on Russia, and employ all her influence with the Western powers, to prevail on them not to exceed them. Persons here pro fess to know that Russia is now no longer indisposed to negotiate for peace on the basis of the four points."

NAPOLEON A COSSACIC.—Captain L—, of the 77th, amused me with an account of the talk of his company in the trenches, when lying down for security, and round shot and shells perpetually flying over their heads. It was Sunday, and they were so close to the town that the bells were heard quite distinctly through the booming of the guns. One of the soldiers said reflectingly to his comrade, " Them Cossack people is very religious, but their creed, th oug h not C athol i c, very like it, " and then he added " Bonaparte was one." The other doubtingly inquired how so, for he thought he was French, when the first assured him, that he was born in Cossica, which there was no denying, and all around yielded assent. All this was in sober earnest.—Letter in Dublin Evening Mail.

At two o'clock the steamer was boarded, five miles off Sandy Hook, by the clipper news yacht of the Associated Press, and the important intel ligence brought from Europe was almost instantly trans ferred to the Sandy Hook telegraph -office by means of carrier pigeons, from whence it was transmitted over the wires to this city, where it was published, an hour in advance of the steamer's arrival at her dock at Jersey city. At about the same moment the passsengers step ped on shore from the Africa, the news was being read in New -Orleans, Halifax, Quebec, St. John's, azta the interaiediato toy/mi.—Now York Arad. AUSTRIA UNMASKED. I3Y HER FRIEND—" TILE TIMES." We suspect there are very few of our readers who have temper, patience, or leisure to trace through all their entangle:rents and crossings the threads that form the endless meshes of German statecraft and diplomacy. It was the pleasure of those who settled the affairs of Europe after the close of the late war to create in Ger• many a Power impotent, as they believed, for aggressive purposes, but sufficiently powerful for the purposes of sell-defence. Germany was intended to be an immense mass impassible to all external force—a lake, whose sur face every breeze could ruffle, but whose waters would immediately resume their original stillness. For this purpose Germany has been furnished with a hierarchy of powers as carefully and absurdly graduated as the endless ranks of her nobility,. —two in the first rank, three or four in a subordinate one, and others, each more insignificant than the other, till we reach the very smallest dimensions consistent with the existence of a Court and the puniest semblance of royalty. This in genie us plan has in one respect been perfectly success ful. The great German nation, with its literature, its refinement, and its valour, has been found quite free from any aggressive impulses. The misfortune is, that with the power of aggression that of self-defence has also disappeared. The machine of the German empire is so contrived as to give every member of the Cons federation a separate and individual interest, sometimes really, and often ostensibly, opposed to that of the whole body. Austria and Prussia have been engaged in an interminable conflict, the object of which is not the welfare of Germany, but the obtaining the first place in her councils, and to this have been relentlessly sacrificed all considerations of German honour and independence. We have often seen the two rival Governments suing in emulous servility for the good graces of the Autocrat of Russia, and ready to sacrifice the interests which, as Germans, they hold in common, to the desire of forti fying themselves by the patronage of so great an ally. The smaller Governments of Germany are engaged one and all in the mere struggle for existence. Having no substantive power to support them, feeling themselves the mere creatures of tradition, invention, or caprice, these petty Courts seek above all things to avoid being crushed in the collision of larger States, and, by flinging their weight now into one scale, now into the other, seek to preserve the duality of Austria and Prussia, on which alone their frail existence depends. If we add that beneath the ground on which these phantom Prinoee strut and fret their little hour, there is a mass of fer menting and fostering disaffection, ready to explode at the moment when least expected, we have said enouglnto show how it is that in the crisis of the des tinies of Europe, when Germany is threatened by the aggression of Russia along the whole of her flat and dee fenceless eastern frontier, her arm is palsied, her heart is faint, and her councils divided and irresolute. R er greatest river is closed at its mouth, first by wilful neg. ligence, and then by armed violence ; the very artery through which her life-blood flows is choked up ; y e t, while England and France cheerfully encounter war for the sake of European interests, Germany cannot even rise to the level of a German question, and, if the Weste ern Powers had not drawn the sword, seemed likely to have surrendered the Danube without a blow, and almost without a remonstrance. Let any one watch the course of Austria during the last year. United with us in every diplomatic step which we have taken, she has still care. fully avoided entangling herself with our alliance, or in curring a breach with that Power against whom we are at this very moment fighting her battle, even more than our own. At first the excuse was that while we were re mote from, she was near to the Russian frontier, and that it was unreasonable to expect her to move till re assured by our presence. At last we came in such force and with such preparations as made this excuse no longer tenable ; but Austria moved not a whit the more. The Congre-s of Bamberg was in the Russian interest, and Austria dared not move without the con sent of the Congress of Bamberg, Meanwhile success began to declare itself in favour of the Allies, and the tide of Russian invasion was rolled back from the walls of Silistria. Then Austria made an advance, but in direction obviously dictated by other considerations than those of European or even German policy. The Principalities became untenable for Russia, and Austria was willing to hold them for Turkey. Russia rejected her ultimatum, but Austria shrank from enforcing that ultimatum by a recourse to arms. Such is pretty nearly the position she occupies at this moment. The duties thrown on her by that position are manifest enough. She is bound by good faith to hold these provinces —as a friend of Turkey—as a sacred deposit, to be returned when Turkey shall be in a condition to demand it inviolate as she received it. All accounts agree in stating that Austria has not faithfully discharged this duty. From her first entrance into the Danubian provinces up to the present moment Austria has treated the Turks and the provincials with an overbearing insolence, which seems to announce that she comes, not as a friend, but as a master—not as an ally, but as a sovereign. After her own fashion, she seeks to establish herself in a province that she has not conquered as an enemy, after having obtained entrance into it as a friend, and practices on the banks of the Danube the same obtuse and unrelenting despotism as saddens the plains of Lombardy or the marshes of Venice. The cuckoo has obtained admission into the nest, and lords it there with all the confidence of the rightful owner. Thus is Austria fulfilling the duty she has un dertaken towards Turkey, thus vindicating the position she has assumed towards Russia. What is her present gratitude towards England and France 9 Having joined with us in all our negotiatiuns and remonstrances, Austria was to a common apprehension bound to join us also in the means we have taken to enforce them ; but, if unable or unwilling to vindicate by her arms the conclusions of her diplomacy, she was at least bound by every feeling of honour and justice to act with the utmost good faith and friendliness towards Powers with whom she had gone so far, and from whom she bad so unaccountably separated hei self. How far this reasonable expectation has been verified we learn from a recent letter of our Constanti nople correspondent. We are engaged in besieging an enormous fortress, defended by an army probably more numerous than our own, fighting on its own ground, and possessing unbounded supplies of the munitions of war. Above all things, it was considered desirable that this disparity should not be increased by the presence of further Russian reinforcements. With that view, the Turks contemplated a diversion in Bessarabia, which would at once have obliged the Russians to concentrate their troops in that quarter, and thus cut off the last hope of relief from the army of the Crimea. It is said that this movement has been prevented by Austria, afraid that, were the Turks to invade Russia from the Danubian provinces, the Emperor might treat such a proceeding as an act of hostility. Surely, this is some thing less than neutrality. The Turks are at war with Russia, Austria has solemnly pronounced their quarrel just, and yet she interposes to prevent their making stra tegical movements considered necessary for their own safety, and for that of the army of those very Powers with whose views Austria has professed entire concurrence, and in tho success of whose arms she has affected to rejoice I The Austrian occupation of the Principalities is at this moment used as a means of hostility to the Allied Powers, and of facilitating the enterprises of Russia. If we had known that the Turks were not to be allowed to make a diversion in our favour on the banks of the Pruth, that Austria had dispensed them from the neces sity of defending their own country, and forbidden them from invading that of their enemy, we might have found occupation for Omer Paella and his gallant army either in the steppes of the Crimea or the mountains of Ar menia. Austria has indeed occupied the Principalities, but has neutralised a force almost equal to her awn, She has joined us in protocols, but deserted us in action. She has entered on the Danube as our friend, and re mains there to insult our Allies, and counteract our strategical combinations. But all this crooked policy will avail her little. Austria may yet find that it is easier to alienate a friend than to conciliate an enemy, and that while her recent interference has lost her much with the Allies, with Russia it has gained her nothing. BEQUEST TO ST. ANDREW'S SCHOOLS.—We learn from the "St. Andrew's Monthly Pa er " that the late Sir John Gladstone havi ng l e ft a sum of money for distri bution, at the discretion of the four eons, the executors of his will, Mr. Robertson Gladstone, with the concur rence of his co-executors, has presented 501. to the St. Andrew's Schools, of which his father was the patron and founder thirty-seven years ago. GENEROSITY OF BRITISH SEAMEN.—By private letters received from the Bebring Straits division of the Arctic Search, it appears that as 5001 as the intelligence had reached them of the sad fate of the noble Bellot (the only officer whose life has been sacrificed in an immediate ac of duty, in the search for Sir John Franklin), the officers and crew of her Majesty's ships Plover and Rattlesnake immediately subscribed a day's pay to the "Bellot testi slurs AT LivEnr . o a,t oL t . : ::: 1 menial," expressing deep regret at the calamity which had befallen him. and Messrs.

TURKISH SCRlP.—Turkish S • crip again experienced fluet • nations, and, after a further considerable fall, closed with an improved appearance. The last price yesterday was 1 discount, and, although it opened this morning at i to i discount, heavy sales caused a decline to 2 dis count. From this there was ultimately a rally, and the final quotation was ito I discount. The committee of the Stock Exchange met in the morning to consider the objections urged against the form in which the bonds have been prepared for issue, and were of opinion that, although no question could exist as to the regularity and legality of the stamped signatures, the method being a new one would be likely to excite dissatisfaction on the part of foreign holders, and consequently to check a favourable reception of the security in some of the con tinental markets. Under these circumstances, the con tractors expressed their perfect readiness to attach their written signatures t o the bonds in the ordinary manner, and to call in for that purpose the few that Kaye yet been 'tut torah-41 6 a City Arcido 0 r • 'l/4 to- 25 St, 20 St, 20 20 10 10 St. 10 St. 25 10 5 20 20 1.7 i 20 20 20 li I 81. 52/ / 51 6 32a 3 , q d 141 43i 72 3 30 20 1 1 40 5 St. 25 Jug 13.5 1 :5 20 20 20 10 14 i 60 1
