Well, the Vote of Credit has been carried—and without even a division. Three Millions of Pounds sterling are placed at the disposal of the "excellent" ABERDEEN, to deal with as be thinks proper, and Parliament has nothing more to do until required by the Financial Minister to sanc tion any imposts he may deem it expedient to propose for the purpose of redeeming the obliga tion thus contracted. Lord ABERDEEN is virtaially dictator for six calendar months. He may act, or rather not act, as he thinks proper, " tdith the concurrence of other Powers." He may, if so minded, take Prussia for his guide and ennanple, exhibiting the most implicit confidence in the pro fessions of his friend of forty years' standin g - . We had certainly hoped that the British Mouse of Commons would have exhibited greater zeal and nergy—that they would have shown theanselves better qualified to meet the existing emeri p3ncy— and more mindful of their own rights and privi leges, and of those of their successors throeaghout all generations. The Noble Lord, the meniber for Marylebone, stood forth boldly and independently. He afforded a locus penitentio to .all dteesirous of rescuing themselves from the imputatior es that might otherwise be cast upon their fair lames. But his manly effort elicited but a feeble re sj ponse. The prospect of the autumnal Session wa s too much for the virtue and patriotism of Hon. Gen tlemen. Visions of cool breezes on sea or moun tain, rendered irresistible by the intense ai td suf focating heat of the weather, prevailed, an xl the palpable lukewarmness, if not freezing it tdiffe mace, prevented the Noble Lord from pre sassing his motion to a division.' Well, we now at least know what we ha ye tO anticipat e , an d it is the more in ,, olbent e 3) a th e Members o f " the Fourth Estate to defend the interests that have been forgotten, or disregarded, by t h ose of the " S at least second and T h it d. ,, The duties th a t have been abandoned by chosen represent a ti ves of the be peopl e must, the assumed by the public journalists, and they- will be sustained and strengthened by the support and confidence of the community. They haven tdeed received an unexpected recognition, for even 1 the Ministerial Leader of the House of Com mons has referred to the reports of his state, nents appearing in the daily journals, and de clared his willingness to abide thereby--and a 3 it appears that no divisions are to be take tzt at any time, but that Hon.

They w i ll at least hay re advantage this Strik i n g over their legislative rivalgi that there cannot be so many painful discrepan ( nes between their "sayings and doings" as we b .ave • had t o d ep l ore during the present and sev oral ' preceding Sessions on the part of the representa tives of free and independent constituencies. Lord JOHN RUSSELL attempted to ride off on a collateral point, to make the question one of " Confidence" or "No Confidence." He said, " If we are fit to be Ministers of the Crown we are fit to have that discretion. If we are not fit to have that discretion, on the other hand we are no longer fit to remain Ministers of the Crown. !" Vow, we must earnestly and emphatically protest against such an argument—one, indeed, that might be pushed to any extent, even to making the lives and pro perties of the people dependent on the will and pleasure of the Minister for the time being. We are well aware of the efficacy of so very signifi cant a hint respecting a change of Ministry —a hint carrying with it not merely the " delicious treat of an autumnal session," but the inestimable blessing of a general election, with all its noise and turmoil, and its innumerable demands on the time, the patience, the energies, and the pockets of those who are to determine the matter, and many of whom would be guilty of an act of poli tical suicide, signing their own death warrants as public men. We repeat, then, that it is not fair to make use of such a threat in order to induce the guardians of the public purse not merely to abdicate their functions, but to transfer the power constitutionally reposed in them to any Ministry, however popular. As we have already stated, " the most trusted, and the most trust worthy, should not demand so great a sacri fice, nor should the chosen representatives of the people, disgrace themselves by establishing a precedent so fraught with danger to popular rights and privileges." The dangerous example has, however, been set— the " precedent has been established." The three millions now granted may be quadrupled, or more than quadrupled, another time. A still greater responsibility than that so boldly assumed may be encountered by future Ministries, more un limited confidence (if that be possible) may be re posed in the discretion of Ministers, until the liberties of the people be sacrificed to the magni tude of a discretion more suited to a Turkish Vizier than a First Lord of the Treasury of the United Kingdom ! A similar " discretion" will, we suppose, this evening be insisted on for capitalists who are prac tically to be allowed to raise fun*ds for the use of the Auxocnax if the dividends offered be deemed satisfactory. That " discretion," as we have already explained, may operate very prejudicially to the interests of the tax-payers of Great Britain and to the cause of European Civilisation. And, in like manner, the unlimited discretion of rulers must promote the cause of " despotism." What, in fact, is the principle of " Autocracy" but " un limited discretion " for the ruler to do as he thinks proper, without being accountable to any person or persons whatever—to "do as he likes with his own "—without let or hindrance. And this is the course in which the House . of Com mons has made a very decided step by its vote of last night. We trust that the time will speedily arrive when the voters, aye, and non voters, of the United Kingdom may express their opinions on the propriety of such a proceeding, The fear of a dissolution, is the true secret why members have neglected their duty. Bat their time is coming—and that soon A reviewer in the Edinburgh has manifestly not followed the advice of Sir JAMBS GRAHAM. ; but has, with wonderful industry, been carefully "pottering over blue-books ;" and this, more over, in reference to the very subject in regard to which this same pottering was originally depre cated, namely, in reference to the Diplomatic History of the Eastern Question now ripened into a war between the Russian and the Allied Go veraments. The first article iu this recently -pub lished number of our great Whig contemporary is nothing less than an elaborate piece of special pleading, to prove that the matter here paxiicu larised has been treated from first to last with the most consummate ability, and the most high minded patriotism, by the members of her MA JESTY'S present Administration. A rather diffi cult thesis to have selected truly—one, the difficulty of which the Edinblirgh Reviewer at once virtually acknowledges by the exquisite dis play of preparatory caution with which he adv en tures upon it. If Mr. BOUNDERBY was correctly defined as the "Bully of Humility," then might the critic in the Whig Quarterly be happily de signated the Braggart of Candour. Never was there a more blusterous affectation of lucidity, a more obtrusively paraded anxiety to be clear and explicit. The effort destroys itself. Any reader would inevitably be roused into suspicion as to the honesty of the argument carried on with such an officious air of exactitude in regard to names, and dates, and facts, and documents, even to minute punctilios—supposing them to have been pre viously unacquainted with any of the particulars in reference to the matter under examination. But as to the actual matter in hand, scarcely any one can sit down to a perusal of the leading article in the new number of the Edinburgh with out having a previous knowledge of results glar ingly demonstrative of the culpability of the ABERDEEN Coalition. The reviewer has entered resolutely upon his task, in defiance of all the notorious evil consequences of the diplomatic cor respondence in regard to the Eastern Question, in spite of the obvious ill effects of the War into which that correspondence has been developed. The argument is ostentatiously carried back at the outset to a distance of time amounting to nearly a quarter of a century, to the year 1844, at least, when the Eastern Question, or, to speak more plainly, the question of the destruction of Turkey, to be followed by the subsequent division of spoils among the destroyers, through another grand act of territorial dismemberment, was first mooted by the Emperor NICHOLAS to three mem bers of her MAJESTY'S Government. It is alto gether preposterous for the admirers of my Lord ABERDEEN to endeavour to screen their " dear" and ' 6 excellent" favourite under the shadow of the great names of those who were admitted with him iu 1841 into the CZAR'S confidence. There can be no doubt, of course, whatever that the AUTOCRAT, in revealing his intentions, or rather, perhaps, we should say merely his views in regard to Turkey in 1844, upon the occasion of his visit to England, did so not only to the Earl of ABER DEEN, but at the same time also to Sir ROBERT PEEL and th e D u k e of W ELLINGTON. Th ere i s no doubt, there cam with the be no doubt, we say, as to Sir ROBERT and the DUKE having shared Earl o f and responsibility ABERDEEN in the privilege y of the Russian EMPEROR'S con fidence. But there IS a doubt in the minds and hearts of the people of England as to whether, in the event of those two men having been great spared to th e country Beg long, they would, or could, consist en tl y with their own fame as patriotic t statesmen, have consented to as timorously, and gingerly, and doubtfully, and, let us say at once, disgracefully, as Lord ABERDEEN has acted in his scarcely even pretended antagonism to the infamous designs of the Russian Government " That is the que s ti on ." A nd, theref it •• ore, is altogether idle, it is simply, in truth, begging the question, and waving the difficulty to assume, as the friends of the Premier have assumed, that be entirely exonerated from blame as associated with the policy of the CZAR NICHOLAS, by the mere coincidence of his having, in 1844, shared in the personal confidence of that potentate with Ministerial colleagues as illustrious as Sir ROBERT PEEL and the Duke of WELLINGTON. No—the people o f England are at this moment (right or wrong) labouring under the conviction that the Prime Minister has acted neither well nor wisely in his conduct in reference to the AUTOCRAT. A THE MN, LONDON. WEDNESDAY EVENING._ JULY 26, 1014; deplorable circumstance at a time of war—this popular unbelief in the head of the Government. A circumstance, however, which cannot be altered by any mere " pottering over blue-books," by any mere special-pleading, in a hundred thousand ela borate articles like that adorning, as a political curiosity, the current number of the Edinburgh. MONEY MAR KET ANJ COMMEBCIALINTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWO o'CLOCK The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 6,000 bales, including 1,000 American taken on speculation. The market was steady, and prices of all kinds were unchanged. The sales comprised 5,000 American, 120 Pernam and Maranbam at 51d. to 7id., 300 Egyptian, at 6d. to 11d., 500 Surat, at 2id to 4d., and 30 Sea Island at is. lid. to 2s. per lb. Railway Shares were flat, at rather lower prices. The report upon the indigo sales, furnished by Messrs. H. W. Jewesbury and Co., is as follows : "The sales terminated this day, and consisted of 13,925 chests (including 4,185 chests of old goods, and 1,090 chests in second hands). The sale now concluded was expected to go off flatly, but upon the opening day it was evident that orders were more abundant than was looked for, both for e x p or t an d h ome use , t h e d eman d being chiefly for the good medium qualities which have maintained previous rates ; the fine Bengal shipping qualities, for which the demand was limited, have again, as in the previous sale, experienced the greatest decline; good and fine Kurpah, and the same qualities of Madras realised an advance in value, but the ordinary and low of all descriptions were cheaper; the sale has gone very steadily throughout, and with but little variation in prices from these of the first day. Of the quantity brought forward, it is estimated that 3,208 chests are bought in, 3,852 withdrawn, arid 6,865 sold, to which may be added about 635 of the bought in and with drawn, making the total quantity sold about 7,500 chests, of which 4,500 are said to be fur export, and 3,000 for home use and re-sale." The harvest reports from the Continent are still of the most favourable character, the heat being so intense that the crops are of unusually fine quality. At Madrid typhus fever has prevailed, owing to the number of the slain lying in the public streets. Don Fernando, who was in ill-health, a brother of the king consort, died at the French embassy, from fright, after the attack upon the palace of his father, Don Francisbo de Paulo, whose fate was not known. The other sisters and brothers of the king were at the French ambassador's also. A comparison of the railway traffic returns for the first half-year of 1854, compared with the same period of 1853, shows a satisfactory increase in most of the lines. The Eastern Counties stand particularly well, the improvement being upwards of 47,0601., the Caledonian have risen 49,0001., the Great Western 66,0001., the Lancaster and Carlisle 25,0001., the North-Western 85,0001., the Brighton 45,0001., the South-Western 33,0001., the Midland 45,0001., the South-Eastern 44,0001., the South Wales 39,0001., and the Great Northern 79,000/. Taking the French lines generally, it appears that they show an increase of 121 per cent. With re spect to the English lines, it must not be inferred that the whole extra receipts, or even the usual proportion, taken against the mileage, will go to the account of profit. There has been a great addition to the expenditure in consequence of the advance in wages and in the price of many important articles that are consumed largely. Nevertheless the dividends ought to be well maintained. The Brighton Company will give at the rate of about 41. 125., having in the corres ponding period of last year paid at the rate of 31- per Cent. per annum. The second half-year upon all the lines is of course the most productive. There is much uncertainty still about the Great Western dividend. Last year the dividend was 4 per Cent., but the recent decision in the House of Lords with respect to the guages, and the necessity of taking out of current revenue theloss incurred upon work ing some of the branch lines, will fall seriously upon the aggregate amount available. The balance from the previous half-year being nearly 20,0001. no doubt the dividend may be maintained. The The Duke and Duchess of Beaufort and the youthful North-Western Company in the opinion of some Marquis of Worcester have left Berkeley-square, on a persons should be able to pay at the rate of 51 per tour of the watering-places on the south-eastern coast.

The report was in all respects satisfactory, and showed the mines to be looking better. The whole produce of the year amounted to 13,089 tons, exceeding the produce of the year 1852 by 2,012 tons, but - the heavier charges for freight, higher wages, &c., had reduced the profit of the year to a little below that of 1852. The proceeds of the first Eve months of the past year had exceeded that of the same tune in the preceding year by 628 tons, and no• thing but the difficulty of procuring labour had pre vented an increase. The accounts showed an undivided balance from the last year's account of 28,7951. 55., which, with the growing funds arising from the past year's proceeds, enabled the directors to declare a divi derrd of 41. per share. A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors terminated the proceedings. PRICE OF GOLD. —The quotation of gold at Paris is about 4 per mille discount (according to the last tariff), which at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 104 d. per oz, for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.07 ; and, the exchange at Paris on London at short being 24.974, it follows that gold is about 0.38 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4204 per mark, which at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 104 d. per oz for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.21 ; and, the exchange at Hamburg on London at short being 13.34, it follows that gold is 0 53 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1094 per cent., and, the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23.40 per cent., it follows that the exch . ange is nominally 0.17 per cent. in favour of England; and, after making allowance for charges of transport and difference of interest, the' present rate leaves a trifling profit on the importation of gold from the United States. le amount required by the jobbers, and this perhaps is the more to be wondered at, seeing that money is more easy. Exchequer-bills have been at ls. discount to 2s. premium ; Bank Stock is rather quiet at 211. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 921 to 93f ; and the Three per Cents. 92i to 92g.

Th e Deferred have been 18, e in x dividend, but the 3 per Cents. have not been dealt in. Mexican Stock is at 241, and Sar dinian at 85i. Venezuela Deferred are at 11, and Dutch 4 per Cents. at 911.

ENGLISH AND AUSTRALIAN COPPER COHPANY.—A meeting of this company took place on Monday, Sir W. Foster in the chair, when it was resolved to appoint a committee to inquire generally into the affairs of the undertaking. The report of the directors detailed the progress of the works both at Spitty and in South Australia; and the accounts from the manager showed that in the colony the difficulties attending the high rates of labour have prevented a profitable return. A person alleged to be well qualified to judge of the value and prospects of the company has been despatched to Port Adelaide, with the view of forwarding home an impar tial statement, so that the board may consult the in. terests of the shareholders by proposing its diss o l u ti on eg e u property from s sinn the in original w h which or continuance.

METROPOLITAN SEWERS.—Yesterday was printed in a Parliamentary paper a copy of a letter address e d to the Secr e t ar y o f St a t e by the Metropolitan Sewers Com missioners relative to the proposed application by them of the sum of 300,0001., for the borrowing of which powers are inserted in the New Sewers Bill. The works on the nor th s i de of the Thames are to b e as f o ll ows : It is proposed to construct so much of the northern high level intercepting (or Hackney brook) sewer, as will extend from the present outlet of the open sower to High-street, Stoke Newingt on , at an estimated cost of about 110,000/. On the south' side of the Thames it is proposed to c ons t ruct the whole of the low level inter cepting sewer from Deptford Creek to Battersea, except its northern branch, which extends from High-street, Deptford, to a point near Paradise-row, Rotherhithe, at an estimated cost of about 190,000/.

THE BATTLE AT GIURGEVO. The following is the substance of a despatch with reference to this battle, addressed by Omer Paella, on the 9th, and received at Constantinople on the 11th of July : " The letters which I this day reoeive from Has san Haki Pacha, supreme commander of the army at Rutechuk, and from Said Pacha, Governor- General of Silistria, announce that an engagement took place on Friday (twelve chewal) between our troops and the enemy. At 2 o'clock in the morn ing (Turkish time), i.e., 9 o'clock, a strong column of attack was sent forward to the island of Kama, situate before Rutschuk, whilst at the same time another body of troops proceeded from the island of Moukan-Oglou to Giurgevo. The Russians, on per ceiving this, collected a considerable number of troops and artillery from Giurgevo and from the village of Slabisca, and commenced the engagement at Kama. The Ottoman troops, reinforced by a strong detachment which was sent to the spot, and supported by the fire of the fortress, gave the enemy a vigorous reception. The engagement lasted ten hours and a half, when the victory was declared on our side, and the Russians took to flight. The Turks, without losing time, imme diately commenced fortifying the island of Kama ; whilst the enemy put outposts to hisrear, destroy ing the bridges on the river and in the strait of Giurgevo, and finally setting fire to the ships, and to several military establishments which exist in the harbour of that town. This battle cost the Russians 5,000 men. The number of their wounded is im mense. As regards us, we have but 500 killed and wounded, which is very little in comparison with the losses sustained by the enemy." CONSTANTINOPLE. MALTA, July 21.—Ad vices from C ons t an ti nop l e of the 16th, and Varna of the 12th inst., have been received here. The fleets were at Baltsellik. Some of the crew of the Tiger, made prisoners, had arrived at Malta. July 22.—Thirty-nine French transports have passed Malta for the Dardanelles, with 525 men, and mules and horses on board. FUNERAL OF CAPTAIN PARKER, OF THE FIIcEBRAND. We extract the following from a letter dated Constantinople, July 13 :—" Yesterday the funeral of Captain Parker took place. This officer, who was the youngest post-captain in the service, met with his death in storming the stockade near the mouth of the Danube. He was shot through the heart. His body was brought down from Varna in the Caradoc, and buried yesterday with all military honours. At about five o'clock yesterday afternoon minute-guns announced that the body was being lowered from the ship, whi c h was lyi ng a t anc h or a t Tophana. About 500 men of the 30th and 19th regiments (the remaining British force at Constan tinople) came over from the barracks at Scutari, and headed the procession. They were closely fol lowed by the French crew of the Charlemagne, all with reversed arms. The officers and crews of the Sardinian and American frigates lying here like wise joined in the procession. The coffin was placed upon a Turkish gun, drawn by eight horses. It was covered with the British ensign. After it fol lowed her Majesty's ambassador, Lord Stratf.rd le Redcliffe, and all the members of the British legation, with the crew of the Firebrand (Captain Parker's own men) without arms. British, French, Turkish, and officers of other nations, with a host of private individeals in mourning attire, nrought up the rear. They proceeded along the main-street of Pera towards the great cemetery, in which is situated the English burial-ground. It was a very large and melancholy procession, and drew great crowds of peopl e on th e s p o t. Turks, Greeks, and Armenians, blockaded the way by thousands. It so happened that on reaching the rurkish artillery barracks, the men were at their exercise with the guns, and it was pleasing to see , hem immediately drawn out in a line, and give a testimony to the dead body of their ally by a military Salute. The procession passed on, and on reaching the cemetery the soldiers formed circle round the ;rave. After the termination of the funeral service, three rounds were fired by all the military and the sailors present, and the music and muffled trunks playing in the interval of loading those loleful notes which strike so sadlylon the ear, and sink so deeply into the h ear t s o f th e by s t an ders. It was a very large procession, and made a great mpression upon the crowd assembled. On the termination of the ceremony, the military closed their ranks and returned to their quarters, the ' , and playing a lively air. The rest of the mourners :den dispersed to their several homes. According to one account, Captain Parker was shot in his ;•ig, in the midst of his men, whilst rowing down the Danube, at about thirty miles' distance from the Salina mouth of that river ; whilst another ,ccount, which seems the most genuine, states that le fell piercel by a bullet whilst storming the Rus sian stockade at the head of his men, who carried 'lie place, with the sacrifice of their gallant young ,:ornmander. NEW RUSSIAN OVERTURES. The Wanderer of Vienna, of the 21st, contains the follovtiring :—" It is said that there arrived at Berlin the day before yesterday despatches from St. Petersburg, which have been transmitted by the telegraph to Colonel de Manteuffel, and he is charged, in consequence, it is said, to m .ke new overtures to the Cabinet of Vienna. Two couriers have arrived here since Sunday with despatches from St. Petersburg for Prince Gortschakoff." ADHERENCE OF THE GERMANIC DIET TO THE AUSTRO-PRUSSIAN TREATY. A telegraphic despatch from Frankfort, July 24, says :—The Diet of the Germanic Confederation hias resolved upon adhering to the Austro-Prussian treaty by 16 votes to 1. Mecklenburgh is the only dissenting vote. A letter from Vienna, 21st, in Voss's Gazette of Berlin, says :—"The negotiations with Prince Gortschakoff have been suspended until the arrival of instructions which M de Bourqueney and Lord Westmoreland expect from their respective Govern ments either to-morrow or the day after. It is generally expected in the best-informed quarters that France and England will declare the Russian propositions insufficient. Austria has already done so, but she declined giving any positive answer to the Russian Cabinet until she has received the de claration of the Western Powers, which will doubt let t btnnhe s aae s ti hbe the i shi n ean receiveddopc ivr a ffoe nfo erortfeuw r nor m i teft s i h t qa y uops waafe quarters Baron her farcarstcottanioco o endore n d a raise na v mnd i e cra w eetnph s I ot 0. there reports teffs e t is i tiso viewsi seen said tabhve e tween Prussiae otaAk and lelpealar A tssi u ens st t r oh i f a e , t nh a e l e although people le u oo g ap h nl e. show Ah attemptsow general great r are e:t t t tached to the Emperor i s a b ou t t o procee d contrary. ;ffi e ranxietyat to Cracow to inspect the fortifications of that city." 1 RUSSIAN DOCUMENTS FOUND AT GIURGEVO. The Vienna Lloyd of the 20th, in a letter from the Lower Danube of the 15th, has a curious article of news. It says that after the battle of Giurgevo the Turks became possessed of some remarkable documents ; no less than confidential correspond ence of Generals Gortschakoff, Luders, and Simonoff with the Russian authorities, and even with those of many Bulgarian towns. They furnish incon testible proofs of a fearful system of espionage and tfeachery, instituted and carried on by the Russians. In addition to these papers from Giurgevo another important discovery has been made. On the battle-field of the Bth, near the spot where General Chruleff fell, a heavy portfolio was found beneath the body of an E gyp ti an. B es i es some family letters of the Count, it contained some auto graph letters of the Czar to General Chruleff. From what has transpired, it seems th a t th e C oun t, while continually censuri ng P r i nce tP as ki ew itch since his assuming the command, approved in a great measure of the proceedings of Prince Gorts chakoff. In his l e tt ers he also directed the attention of the Czar to General Uschakoff, the commander at Tultscha ; and enlarge s particularly on the capabilities of General Osten- Sacken. In order to keep alive the spirit of the troops, he found it advisable that the command of the army of the Danube should be conferred on a Grand Prince. It is seen from these letters how high General Chruleff stood in the confidence of the Czar ; also, that even the actions of the great leaders arc watched, the Czar maintaining a pri vate correspondence with the subordinate, that he may be informed of all that the superior conceals. It cannot be doubted that this fact, if it be such, should it reach the ears of the Russian Generals, will have anything but an encouraging effect. Everybody is lost, in conjectures, says a letter from Constantinople of the 13th inst., as to wh a t the next m o ve of the combined armies may be. The fleets are lying tranquilly at anchor in the Bay of BAltsclik, and though there has been some talk of late about Sebastopol and the Crimea, there exist no reasons for believing in any attempt in that di rection just yet. The health of the united armies who oc c upy the line between Varna and Schumla Is good ; but it is to be foreseen that they w ill suffei from heat and fever during the next few months. 7,000 men (Ottoman troops) have been detached from the brigade which had been attached to th. division of the French army under the com mand of Prince Napoleon. They left Varna the day before yesterday for B;ttoum, where they are to join the remnant of the army under Salim Pacha, which has been so thinned in the late defeat at Urzughetti. Lieu tenant-Colonel Thorne, lately returned from a sojourn in Asia Minor died here on Tuesday last. The marriage of Ali Ghalib Pacha (Reschid Pacha's son) to the Sultan's daughter is broken off, or at least put off for a year. This is a great piece of gossip for the neweiiiongers of Stamboul. The height of ambition in a Turkish statesman seems to be to ally his family to that of the Sultan, and Reschid Paella is much cut up about this delay in the consummation of the most ardent of his wishes. It is not known what the little Sultana says to this move. Her intended is much disgusted at the pro crastination. In a day or two a large Turkish flotilla will leave for the Archipelago. The Ottoman fleet is at present at anchor in the Bay of Buyukdere, about fifteen miles up the Bos phorus. The line-of.battle ships are to remain there, returning to their old duties as floating batteries, anchored safely in the tranquil stream. The accounts from Creece are on the whole satis factory. Tranquillity seems to be slowly returning to the provinces of Thessaly and Epirus. The mountains are, however, infested by insurgents, who have degenerated into brigands. Almost all the principal leaders have returned to Greece. From Kars we have no news of any importance. The following proclamation has been addressed in Turkish to the provincial governors, in the name of the British and French commanders-in-chief : " The commanders-in-chief of the allied armies of England and France make known to the populations of Bulgaria and the surrounding provinces, that they pur pose protecting the subjects of his Imperial Majesty Abdul Medjid Khan against the Russians, as also to watch over their property and welfare. Orders have con sequently been given to the armies, whose mission it is to exercise this protection, to observe the most strict discipline everywhere, and especially in the provinces they occupy. At the same time, it is made known to the population that whosoever (whatever religion he may profess, or nation he may belong to) shall com mit any act in opposition to the military laws esta blished, or contrary to the intentions of the British or French commanders-in-chief, will be punished with the utmost severity, and without scruple, and that his punishment will be inflicted on him by the com mander of the allied forces who may be the nearest The populations are bound, to the utmost of their power, to endeavour in every way to meet the demands of the commanders of the allied forces, for assistance or aid of whatsoever kind. They are rigorously bound to fulfil this their duty, as also to rupply every information which the above-named commanders may require of them. Those who have, in consequence of the late events, abandoned their villages, properties, and families, are invited to return, whilst they are enjoined to place con fidence in the protection of the allied armies, and to live in tranquillity and peace, for should they not comply with what is prescribed to them, or prove guilty of com municating with the enemy, they will be handed over to the military authorities, who will immediately inflict the deserved punishment upon them." AUSTRIAN OCCUPATION OF THE PRINCIPALITIES. According to a letter from Constantinople of the 13th inst., Austria has expressed a desire to occupy the Principalities exclusively, that is to say, that her armies alone should be there. The Porte had forwarded orders to Omer Pacha not to cross the Danube for the present, but refused to admit in principle the exclusive occupation of the provinces by Austria. Another demand has likewise been put forward, namely, the rein staltation of the two hospodars, who are at Vienna, and whose return to Wallachia and Mol davia with the first Austrian troops, M. de Bruck has announced to the Porte. Reschid Pacha re plied that the Porte must first take the propriety of their recall to the principalities into considera tion. The Austrian ambasSador, however, in sisted on the fulfilment of Art 3 of the convention, which stipulates the re-establishment of, the former Government, upon which Reschid Pacha maintained that the precise re-establishment of that Government could not take place before the Porte was convinced that the hospodars had not tailed in their duties as trusty and loyal sub jects ; and that, although the Porte had no very serious complaints to make against Prince Ghika, of Moldavia, the same was not the case with respect to Prince Stirbey, of Wallachia, who had proved himself a partisan of the Russians in the most scandalous manner, though, finally, he did obey the orders of the Porte by retiring from Wallachia. Lord Stratford de Redeliffe, who was afterwards consulted, took a similar view to Reschid Pacha. M. de Bruck then appealed to the Sultan, and on Sunday (the 9th) an extraordinary council was assembled, in which a compromise was arranged. Both hospodars are to be recalled to their posts provisionally ; the Porte is then to name a high commissioner, to hold an investigation of the con duct of the two Princes, and on his ultimate re port the Porte is to resolve how to act. THE DANUBE. Advices from llermanstadt, of the 25th inst:, state that the Russian centre is moving, under General Lipraudi, towards Fokshani, because the Austrians are marching from Transylvania north wards, for concentration in the Bukowina. Sixty thousand Ottomans are strongly fortifying Giurgevo. We read in the Moniteur : " We have received, under dale of Widdin, 13th, some details of the important combat which took place on the 7th near Giurgevo. The Turks had taken possession of the town soon after it had been evacuated by the Rue. sians ; but the latter, who had encamped within a short distance, had not, it would appear, i given the idea of re-entering it. The Turks, not being n sufficient force to defend the position , retired to the island, between Giurgevo and Rustchuck. Supported by the fire of that citadel and by the reinforcements which opportunely arrived, they twice repulsed the desperate attacks of the Russians, and in their turn assumed the offensive. In this movement, accomplished with as much order as vigour, the Ottoman troops recrossed to the left bank, and, after an engagement of not less than t en hours, dis?- loged the Russians from all their positions. The latter have since retreated, not without some confusion, on the road to Bucharest. According to information which has reached Widdin, the loss of the Russians is said to have been relatively enormous ; it was estimated at not less than 6,000 men." Another letter from Widdin, of the same date, says : "Lesser Wallachia is perfectly tranquil, and the administration works well. The Boyards and the landed proprietors are nearly all returned home, with the exception of those who, having taken refuge at Bucharest, are still retained by the Russians. Sarni Pacha has furnished the local authorities with the means of arming a police force, composed almost entirely of old Dorobans, who have succeeded in escaping from the Russians." The Lloyd's of Vienna, of the 21st, says :—" The last news from the theatre of war is to the 18th. Nothing important had occurred. It is stated from Widdin that the Russian corps stationed near Plojeschti were advancing towards Aluta, in the direction of Slativa and Rymnick. It was this operation, no doubt, which prevented Omer Pacha from advancing, as he would have exposed himself to being attacked. The frontier of Transylvania is without troops, and there are only some re maining near the principal passage. Letters from Krajova state that from the 6th large Russian forces coming from the Transylvania frontier had been advancing towards the southern frontier of Lesser Wallachia. Those who were retiring on Moldavia had again taken the road to Wallachia, and are to take up positions on tke rivers Boza, Telcasch, Prahova, and Dumbowitza. A. new fort is being c onstructed on the road from Rassova to Silistria. Omer Pach a has proclaimed in the name of the Sultan a general amnesty for all the civil and military Wallachians compromised in the present war, on the condition that they will cease their re lations with the Russians. A deputation of th e boyards of Little Wallachia left Widdin on the 15th for Giurgevo, to convey an address to the Sultan. Dredging boats are being prepared at Varna to render the mouth of the Sulina navigable. No vessels are allowed to e n t er th e D anu b e , b ut those in the river are permitted to leave. The son of Count Orloff has become completely blind from the wound he received at the siege of Silistria. A letter from Galatz of the 13th states that the Turk ish troops commanded by Mehemet Pacha have occupied the road which leads from Hirsova to Babadjigh. A large pontoon train assembled at Schumla is to follow the corps of the Dobrudscha, in order to enable it to cross the Danube to join the auxiliary troops who are at the mouth of the S ulina." ADRIA NOPLE. The following is an extract from a letter written from Adrianople by an officer of General Bosquet's division, which marched from Gallipoli to Varna by land : "Every man pretending to be a traveller has seen Constantinople, but few people know anything of Ron tuella, Adrianople, Aidos, and the Balkans. It is, how ever, the richest country y , , u can imagine. Every agri cultural product grows there as if by enchantment, for there are scarcely ten inhabitants to ten square leagues. Vines, wheat, barley, and oats abound everywhere, whether in the fine valleys, such as those of the Kayak, the Maritza, and the Tundli, or on the hill sides which bound those rivers. There are forests, diversified with rich pastures, on which may be seen grazing vast numbers of French bullocks, and Asiatic buffaloes, and myriads of little horses, called beghirs, which are neither Asiatic, French, Arabian, nor Engiish, but which render immense services to the country by transporting produce to the centres of trade and exportation. Nothing can be more pleasing to the eye than the appearance of these five countries et Ws stiemo! of the year. To the riches of the surface of the soil must be added those underground.

On 'Monday evening a drama from the pen of Sterling Coyne was produced at this theatre with complete suc cess. The plot is simple, the whole of the drama turn ing upon the incident of a father, ruined by the gaining table, trying to recover his position by the marriage of his daughter with a certain wealthy mar quis. The lady of course has a lover. After the marriage the jealousy of the husband is aroused by the villain of the piece, Lalouette, and a plan of assassina tion arranged for Armand, the lover, by the husband, recoils upon the head of the originator. The dying husband generously renders justice to his injured wife, and leaves her free to bestow her hand and fortune on the man of her heart. The drama drags somewhat during the first two acts, and no powerful sensation is made until the last scene, where, however, the interest is very highly wrought, especially by the excellent acting of Miss Reynolds as Julie and Mr. Howe, the Marquis. The lady depicted the sorrowing, faithful wife, who has sacrificed her heart's best feelings at the shrine of filial love with a most truthful earnestness and pathos ; while the gen tleman represented the noble-hearted French officer with a dignified, chivalrous impressiveness which ma terially aided the success of the piece. Mr. Buck stone, as Michael Sornmerson, agrocer and national guard, contributed his quota of fun, and the general result was a success, the piece announced for repitition every even ing, amidst universal applause. ROYAL OPERA, DRURY-LANE The long-promised resuscitation of Massaniello was made at this theatre on Monday night, when it was played for the first time in all its integrity in the English language. Great pains have evidently been taken with the getting up, and the scenery and adjuncts were highly effective. The dances were numerous and characteristic, and alto gether both its spectacular and operatic attractions are likely to take with the public. Mr. Sims Reeves was a very efficient representa tive of the inspired fisherman, and sang the genuine music, unadulterated by the usual interpolations, with great effect. He was well seconded by Mr. Weiss, as Pietro ; but Mr. Mapleson, as Al phonzo, was evidently not equal to the attempt, and was not in favour with the audience. Madame Ituders dorff sang the music of Elvira with great conscientious ness and much power ; and Madame Louise gave the pantomime of Fenella with effect. _ The corps de ballet was strengthened by the addition of M. Milano and Madlle. Therese Cushnie, whose spirited dancing in the Tarantella well sustained the reputation they achieved at this theatre last winter season. The audience were not, however, in the best humour possible, having been kept waiting until near nine before the curtain rose ; an apology, however, having been made on account of an accident with the scenery. They warmed, however, as the inspiriting opera proceeded, and encored the Barcarole, and the principal dances, the Bolero and the Tarantella ; and seemed,, at midnight, when it closed, to have sat themselves into a more genial mood, rewarding the close with tumultuous applause. There caa be no louht that the pains bestowed on this lively prid picturesque opera will repay the liberal efforts of the directors, and that in spite of the thermometer the remainder of the season will be chiefly employed in satisfying the lovers of music by the representation in its entirety of Massartiello.
