G.. --- v= proved through previous negotiationsand manifestations. His Majesty, our august master and Emperor, has, with sentiments of federal companionship, secured the powerful aid of Prussia in the most binding manner, in case we shall be attacked, always provided Austria does not take part in the war against Russia, and especially if she does not cross over the Russian frontier. Prussia, in case of attack by Russia upon Austrian territory, would regard the same as dangerous to its own interests and those of Germany, and assist Austria with all the means at her disposal. "Prussia has therewith expressed the conviction that the remaining princes of Germany will, in such case, shrink from no sacrifices to ward off the dangers that menace closely allied Austria, and thence Germany. We entertain the same confidence, and hope that this con viction will be ratified by the decisions about to be taken at Frankfort. Should the Contederation accord us security for its support, and then only also as a German Power, and as contracting party to the treaty of the • 20th of April, we find ourselves tranquillised, at least for the future, even ,without simultaneous military reso lutions on thtpart of the Diet ; although, certainly; in that case the sacrifices and exertions, without which Germany under the existing state of the world would not stand secure, would be exclusively borne by Austria. " Denerting from these considerations, we have proposed to the Berlin Cabinet to lay before the Diet, through the envoys ,m both sides, the despetch to Prince Gortsch,,- kotf with a declaration in common in the sense that veherr also after the evacuation of Vie priocipalities the mate of thi n gs does n ot call for an immediate develop. ment of the military force of the Confederation, on the other hand it contains cause for confirming that . any ap. prehension of attack by Russia upon the territory of Austria shall summon forth for common defence all Governments united by the treaty of the 20th of April. " We cannot further see cause for bringing under dis cussion before the Diet any difference between the po sitionappropriation of Austria and Prussia, as regards the proposed conditions for future peace, through a definite proposi tionthe full extent of the obligations enteredinto by us. It certainly appeared to us extremely desirable that.

No stress need be laid on the statement .that Sir Charles Napier was in momentary expectation of being recalled to E gland ; that Could be nt,thing but mere'. conjecture. But the final , departure of the French Ad miral and his fleet is a ftet beyond dispute ; and it is out of the question that any great or iMportant enter prise will be u n dertaken by the English fleet, now that the French ships as well aft the French land forces have been withdrawn. Indeed, this is virtually aLlmitted even by those who still profess to look f,r some:active operations on the part of the English before the close of the season. Not a .wordis now said of any atte!!,lot up in Cron,ta‘lt, or Svvealiorg„ or the Rus-ian men-of— war that are lying nerd a at One or the other place. most sanguine only talk of a bombardment . of never. And, what could be the olject of an attack upon n tiown which is of no importance whatever as a military posi tion, !insusceptible of being made the basis of military operations in the interior ! 'By dismantling the forts of Cronstadt or Sweaborg, or' destroying the fleets laid up at these places, in whole pr'in part, the Russian Go vernment would be Weakened ; the loss inflicted by a bombardment of Revelwould fall principally, almost ex clusively, upon private r indiyiduals, subjects .of the Rus sian Government. 'The destruction of Government pro perty at Sweaborg or Cronstadt would be regarded by the * Russian people as a legitimate act of warfare, would impress them with fear - of the might of England or the Allies, and would not excite animosity to the:/nglish. But the bombardment of Revel would. make thesubjects of Rtissin cling faater to their Government. View it in any light, the bombardment of Revel—as an isolated , aot,kibe windiorttvwf mcr - immalatfai campaign—pre seats itself as an epterprise impolitic on account of the effect it is certain to have upon public 'opinion. These considerations cast discredit on the reports that such a measure is in contemplation, either on the part of the English Government or of the .English Admiral. They who most regret the prospect of nothing more being at tempted in the Baltic during the year 1854 would be the first to protest against the bombardment of Revel as a piece of work that were better left undoae.—.Daily News. " We may therefore calculate on the furtherance of the work of peace on the part of Prussia *rough the same principles which are binding upon us, and look forward with certain confidence alpo, in this respect, to the deliberations in the circle of our allies, singe we en tertain the fullest conviction that—through our influence over the fixation of the points, which we, with France and England, have declared to be the conditions for peace—ewe have acted in conformity with our own inte rests as well as those of Germany, as these points in part promote German interests, and nowhere come into con. flictitherewith. We must also attach great value thereto, and consider it to be consistent with the dignity of the confederation that it may not only express the most com plete approbation of our proceedings, but of our efforts to bring about peace upon these principles, through the weight of its voice, and in appropriate cases through its active power. "The required guarantees partly secure to the future negotiations the requisite latitude—partly they lay down with all distinctness that which for Germany is irremis sible. If meantime, the Confederation, in giving full assent to the four points, should make a distinction be tween general European and special Germanic interests, in such manner as to stand forward especially for suck conditions as regard the latter—such, namely, as the cessation of the previous protectorate in the Danubian countries, and fer the freedom of Danubian commerce— in such case we shall raise no objection to this mode of treating the matter. "Your is requested to communicate the present despatch, together with its enclosures, to the Govern ment to which you have the honour of being accredited. Doubtless the present moment will appear as full of im portance in the eyes of each German Government, and the wish be most lively in their minds to contribute by their voice that the approaching decisions may strengthen the position of the confederation abroad, and at the same time confirm the friendly federal confidence of members. It would afford the greatest satisfaction if you can report to us, as soon as possible, that the communication with which you are charged has met with favourable recep tion at (Signed) "BC:TOL SCHAUBICSTEIN."

The mass of information now obtained is of ira• portance with a view of amending the law. From a Parliamentary paper published yesterday, we extract the following passage from a letter from Mr. Hainiuill, the magistrate of Worship-street Police Court, to the Under-Secretary of the Home Department. Mr. Hammill, it appeared, had passed sentence on a man f an aggravated assault on a woman, which was quo tioneui on the ground of its alleged severity; and in ju tifying his decision he remarks as follows, on the gener working of the act, which empowers magistrates t punish such as,aults with six months' hard labour : "I announced," be says, "immediately on the passin of the act, that I should adopt such a course of severit on the first case being brought before me, and I have since frequently repeated it, thinking that such an. nouncenient, by means of the press, would deter, from what I must almost characterise the common practice of ill-using women in this district. With regard to women of the town, I have continually laid down as to them, that so long as they conduct themselves quietly in the streets, they are Rs much entitled to protection as any other class of her Majesty's subjects, which seems to cause astonishment to the people who hear it, so accus tomed have the brutal population of this region been to knock down these poor creatures as if th e y were so many ninepins, and without feeling. Notwithstanding the severity with which I have administered the act, I regret to say that such cases are as numerous as ever, and therefore I don't conceive that the time has arrived for me to change the view I have taken of my duty in carrying out the provisions of the act. It can only be, I fear, a remedial measure, until the moral and indus trial training of the population is put under a more effec• tual system than is now permitted. Existing disposition to violence can only be held in check by fe ar of p ersonal l suffering. assure you, sir, t hi s state of things, daily exhibited befo re me, ha: long filled me wit anviety and perplexity, an d I don't, under the existing system of what is ca ll e d e d ucat i on, see much hope of the next gene. ration being better than this." HER RING TRADE.—TICS , 21.—This week some Sept. of our boats have made trial for berringe, and their sue cess has been greater than was expected. Six to eight crews went out on Tuesday evening, and some of these having b ro ught ashore from six to ten cra ne pe r boa t, a - areat-number was induced to make a trial last night.

The herrings sold readily, at prices ranging from 16s. to 18s. per cran, the quality of the fish beina very superior for this late season. Our accounts from Peterhead and Fraserburgh, for the past week, are unexpectedly favourable, the average for the season, to Saturday last, having been brought up, at Peterhea,l, to 132 crane ; and at Frazerburgh to 14t crane per boat, being an addition for the week of 40 crane at the former and of 31 crane per boat at the .

Now that English troops really have landed and are actually marching in the Crimea, some exceedingly soli citous patriots at home lean forwards to gaze after them, with clasped hands and invocations to the loCal gods, as if our good fellows were stalking into the pit of Avernus, or going behind the sheet of water at Niagara, or enter ing the Arctic Sea. We do not refer to the anxiety about the fighting necessary to the taking of Sebastopol. Teat solicitude is natural and universal. We have in view the mysterious mis4ivings that some people are venting in whispers about what is to come afterwards—about the winter in a land which is declared to be singularly un known to us. Now, we do not hesitate to say that this is exceedingly absurd. Some people may think it a for midable, and others a safe and agreeable thing, for a portion of the allied armies to pass the interval between two campaigns in the Crimea ; but we contend that the means of forming a judgment are abundant. We know the position and relative distances of the country itself, and every considerable place in it; infinitely better than we knew either Portugal-or Spain when Wellington en tered upon the Peninsular war. We know what roads there are, and what is their condition. • We know.what the crops are, and what is their average amount. We know what the climate is, and who the inhabitants are ; and. we may have a ehrewd..guess at their comparative affection for the Turks and the Russians. So much is known indeed that we have some hesitation about repeat ing the facts which must be familiar to our readers. But t considering ,the general and engrossing interest now attaching to the Crimea, we will briefly indicate what the life of the British, French, or Turkish soldier there is likely to be if they stay there for five or six months to come. _ _ Supposing Sebastopol taken, and that the Russian troops have laid down their arms, the peninsula will have to be held till every Russian fort on the Black Sea is dis posed of—this season or next. This supposition is fair enough, because the apprehensive patriots we refer to have no doubt that Sebastopol will be taken, and the Russian army rendered harmless. We have never had any doubt of it ; and now that we know how ill•fed and , disheartened the Russian troops are, and that all the hard work at Sebastopol is done by deserters and aliens, and that the inland forte there, and much of all their forts, are made of freestone, which will not stand a can nonade, and that the masonry of the defences is dislo cated or shaken by the firing of mere salutes, and that the conquest of the Telegraph Battery insures that of Fort Constantine, and that of Fort Constantine the whole town and shipping, we have a confidence as strong as can be entertained about any unaccomplished event that Sebastopol will presently be at the disposal of the allies. The feat accomplished, and a part of the forces gone, what , will be the winter prospect of the occupiers of the Crimea? They have no invasion, rior any kind of warlike assault, to fear. They can be reached only in two ways—by the sea or by the steppe. The captors of Sebastopol will of course have taken care that - no Rus sian vessels shall get out of that harbour. "If they will not when they may, when they will they shall have nay." There ought not to be a vessel left there by that time. If such as are not burnt are really as worm-eaten as Russians pretend, they should be broken up for fuel, or made use of as prisons or hospitals ; and, if they are sound, they will •have been taken away as prizes. For that matter, however, Russian seamen make no hand of navigating the Black Sea in winter. As to the land side, the steppe is passable only for four months in the year. It is only on occasion, and with difficulty, that the Czar's own couriers and chief officials can traverse the steppe after autumn has rendered it impracticable for pedestrians ; and it is thoroughly understood in Rus sia that all movements of troops become impossible after September. At which end the Russian troops now in the Crimea are to get out of it we shall soon see. Mean time, we may be very certain that no more can come during the next six months. Prince Menschikoff's talk of levying the Critneans en masse shows that he expects no more soldiers from the north. As for his Crimean "mass," we wish him joy of it. The total population is only 200,000—women and children, old men arid boys, gypsies, deserters, aliens, convicts, Tartars, Jews, Greeks, Germans, monks, and serfs, all included. "The masses," as the Americans say, will, we rather think, be very hos pitably disposed towards their guests of the coming win ter, who will bring more custom into the Crimea than it has ever known since the Genoese left it. Being safely harboured there, where will the occupierslive ? Not among the sulphur pits and salt marshes of the north ; nor on the bleak steppe. A naval gaurd, left in the unfrozen harbour of Theodosia on the one gide, and Sebastopol aRA-Mtilistoriteeste the 'other. must .14 .aufficeent for the safety of everybody within the raminsula. S .me of the soldiers may be quartered in the towns, but both health and comfort seem to indicate the southern 9.lopeg, with some of the lateral valleys, as the best conceivable places fur etic •mpineut. The nnineas . irable wools of those slopes and valleys afford the finest materials for building huts—like those of the French camps at Boulogne. Toe French at Boulogne would have been glad enough of such a supply and choice of wood as their comrades may have in the Crimea. Everywhere below the great lime stone precipice on which Simplieropol stands, at the edge of the steppe, the climate of elle Crimea is one of the finest in the world. There aro slight frosts in winter, but few or no storms. Tne sky is cloudless for days to• gether ; the pastures remain verdant, and the cattle do not leave them. • The torrents which tumble from the steep leave no icicles ; and the blue waves below kiss the sand in the sunshine, as on an October day in Corn wall. On those green slopes, amidst the reflected warmth from the precipitous wall above, enclosed by evergreen thickets, and beeohwoods abounding in red deer, an encampment of soldiers resting on duty need not be objects of any great compassion to us in London. So much for where they may live. As for how they are to live, who has not read of the valley of Baidar and its fruitfulness ; Lord Derby must have been thinking of Baitlar and its district when the name Tamboff slipped off his tongue by mistake ; and those who have read of the wheat produced in that valley 30 miles in circumference have probably read of the other products of the region, which would be truly a land of the blessed, if corn, oil, and wine made a paradise, or man could live "by bread alone." There are herds of cattle on every pasture ; goats abound.; and there are three races of sheep which, degenerating on the bleak steppe, aro here found in their highest perfection. If the ruth less Czar should compel the destruction of all the food that can be burnt or slaughtered, there is still much that Le cannot reach. Game and fish abound. The oyster beds in various places are inexhaustible ; and the bays and shores swarm with fish. The red deer and the fill low deer throng the woods and parks ; and wild goats, •hares, and various birds are plentiful. Fruits and honey are to be had for the gathering ; and no doubt the cattle will be well enough taken care of up in the dales, to,, yield plenty of dairy produce, as usual. There are some Tartar dainties besides ; such as roast jerboa, and mares' and camels' milk. It may be said, finally, that the pos sessors of the Crimea this winter will have the virtual command of all the stores on the Black Sea coasts. It is to be hoped that the ganaries from Odessa to Yeni Kald will not be burned by the Czar ; but, if they should be, there is more corn where that came from and else where ; and the commanders who have carried stores for 100,000 men for two months, while the Crimea was still open to the Russian armies, must surely be able to feed the guard they mayleave there if the land were as bare as the glaciers and storm-beaten shores where our sol diers and sailors have often wintered. It is insulting to our national defenders to pity them fur occupying the Crimea, while the snows of Canada and the sands of Africa are remembered as the encamping ground of their fathers.—Daily News. THE BALTIC FLEET. If the most recent intelligence from St. Petersburg may be relied upon, the Russian Government has made up its mind that the campaign in the Baltic is over for this season, in so far as the Western Powers are con cerned ; and that on the strength of this conclusion the Czar has ventured to despatch to the southward a body of the elite of his troops, which he had drawn together and kept in hand with a view to operations in Finland. The admirers of mystery and secresy look delighted at this news, and say that the Czar has been led into a trap ; that the appearances of an intention to close the campaign have merely been assumed to deceive him ; and that, now he has weakened his power in the north, a serious blow will be struck at him before the Allies leave the Baltic. This is an entirely gratuitous assump tion, and one which all known facts conspire to render improbable. It may be in the recollection of our readers, that Sir Charles Napier, in the banquet given to him at the Reform Club before he left this country, spoke of the fleet entrusted to his command as rather weaker than the Russians in respect of the number of ships and guns ; though, he added, the greater number of screws and steamers on the part of the English might make good the difference: Thi-i plain English of this remark is, that is order to effect anything decisive against the Russians in the Baltic, the force of the com bined fleet, French and English, must be brought into play. NOW, though some of our contemporaries took upon them to pooh-pooh the intelligence from the Baltic which we published some time ago--that the French fleet was under orders to return home—time has confirmed the accuracy of our information. In yesterday's Journal des Debate, an article to which is attached the respect able signature of Xavier Raymond, gives on the strength of the 20th instant, an account of the farewell greeting of the French and English Admirals at Ledsund " Admiral Parseval, having despatched all his other ships, as many of them as possible provided w ith t ugs, had retained only the steam frigate Darien ; but being informed cf the grounding of the Austerlitz, he imme diately sent the Darien to conduct it to Kiel. It thus happened that the Admiral's own ship the Inflexible was the very last of the squadron to sail. Admiral Napier, on his part, expected to receive by the courier .of the 22d orders to return to England. At tie mom en t of p&Oing, the !elmirals exchaaged ofalutel with epaula• THE MILITIA AND YEOMANRY. The North Somerset Yeomanry Cavalry, Colonel Miles, M.P., commandant, aro now out training at Wells.

It is with feelings of the most gainful kind that we have to direst—attention to.the sap it— 44 a . trial which appeared in our impreseion of yestektray, as it materially affects the character of the English navy. We are just fresh from the infamous proceedings in the sister ser vice, which have done more to discredit the position of officers in our army than any event which has occurred in the memory of living man. Lord Hardinge may feel well assured that a deep stain rests upon the British army in consequence of those proceedings, which can never be washed out until the hands of all parties concerned in them are so effectually tied up that they shall never again have the opportu nity of wresting the authority with which they had been intrusted for very different purposes to so base a use. We are sick of the subject—sick of all the false hood and oppression with which it was accompanied, and would gladly have dismissed it from consideration until the meeting of Parliament gave the opportunity for calling all persons concerned in the transaction to a solemn a d public account. To-day it is the turn of the navy—but here let us at once premise that we have not a right to bring accusations of the like kind against the senior officers is that service. We are simply speaking, as yet, of the debauchery and profligacy of a few subal terns, with which the seniors are notfurther concerned than that scenes such as those upon which we are now forced to comment should have occurred in the Queen's service at all. Some one, we presume, is answerable for the dis cipline of the service. The transaction of which we are about 'to speak occurred on board of a hulk in Ports mouth harbour. Who is responsible for the good order of the ships in Portsmouth harbour? Is it the First- Lieutenant of each in the absence of the captain ? Is it the Port Admiral ? Somebody is, surely, bound to see that prostitutes are not brought on board the Queen's ships, and there treated in such a manner that death is the consequence. The officers and crew of the Dauntless are now berthed on board of a hulk lying in Portsmouth Harbour. There lately lived in Gosport a young woman—by name Matilda Jane Lodge—given up to v i cious courses. On the evening of Sunday the 17th of September— ten days ago —this young woman left the house of her mother about 7 o'clock, in company with a young woman of her ac quaintance, and about four o'clock on the Monday morning was received in the police station at Gosport in a dying condition. A coroner's inquest has just been held At Gosport to inquire into the causes of her death. The finding of the jury was "That, according to the evidence of the medical men, we are bound to re turn a verdict that Matilda Jane Lodge died a na tural death from rupture of the bladder I but we also find, from the evidence given before us, that death was mainly accelerated by ill-t rea tment she had received on the night of Sunday, the 17th September, 1854, in the wardroom on board the hulk of the Dauntless, lying in Portsmouth Harbour." The facts of the case appear to be these :—On Sunday evening Matilda Lodge went out in company with Emma White, and, atter p_rambulating the town of Portsmouth for some time, at 9 o'clock they went down to the floating bridge to return to Gosport. While waiting for it they were met by two gentlemen— one of whom was a Lieutenant Knight, of the Marines ; the other was not mixed up with the progress of the transaction, so it is u , eless to bring him on the scene. Knight and the two young rwcrnen had some .drink to , et r and he then invited them ouboard the hulk. T "Irriir; man took them cir, who deposed t two young.wo men were sober at the time. Toi. was about 10 o'clock. When they had conic on board Knight took them down to his cabin, which is near the gunroom door ; he shut the door, and subsequently, from the gunroom, brought them in some port wine, anti afterwards some brandy. It is re markable that Knighteautioned thegirl Emma White, ns he handed her a glass of p ,rt wine, in these words : " Don't drink much ; perhaps it may make you N." She tasted it, and threw the rest out of the cabin win• dow. After Matilda Lodge had swallowed some of the brandy she went out into the gunroom. A little while alter Emma White followed her into the gunroom, and found her sitting among some gentlemen and singing. White endeavoured to persuade Lodge to come home, but she refused, and presently fainted. The officers ' said it would be better if she lay down for a while, and about one o'clock Emma White quitted the ship. When she left, the unfortunate girl Lodge was lying in Knight's cabin. According to her tes timony, nothing had as yet occurred which should have caused marks of violence to appear on Lodge's per son. Thus far we rely upon White's evidence. Job Jackson, a private of Marines, was on duty at the gun room door from midnight until 4 a.m. on Monday morn ing. When he went on duty there were present in the wardroom, according to his statement, Lieutenant Jer vis, second of the Dauntless, Lieutenant Seymour, and Knight, both of the Marines, and the twa women. About half-past one White was shown over the ship's side, and then Lodge was screeching on the floor. The other girl in her evidence says nothing of this. Pre sently the steward carried her into a cabin, which, we presume, although the circumstance is not important, to have been Lieutenant Knight's. The young woman lay here " screeching" violently until about four o'clock. The assistant-surgeon of the Dauntless—by name Roche —went into her seve ral times, accompanied by Lieutenants Jervis and Knight. This witness beard no sound of scuffle, or fighting, or quarrel among the officers in the gunroom during the period of his watch. We call particular at tention to this circumstance, for this witness was a favourable to one them. It remains to be seen how the girl carne by the marks of violence which were found on her person. Wm. Poole, another marine, relieved Job Jackson, and it was during his watch that the unfortu nate girl was got rid of out of the ship. When he went in to assist she was lying in Knight's cabin, with her clothes rumpled all round her—her Lair loose, and her arms naked ; but he observed no marks of violence upon her arms. She screamed at first, but after she was re moved never spoke a word. She was put into the boat of a waterman, named Joseph Sherwin, and by him carefully conveyed to the Commend Hard at Portsea. This witness said, that when she was put into hie boat he thought she had only her night-dress on, and in quired fur her gown. He particularly noticed, on band ing her in, that she had no stays. " Her hair was bang big all about. Her dress was torn at the shoulder, and it was all in a terribly ruffled state." The police man who received her at the Hard and helped the waterman to convey her in a harrow to the station, and the police inspector who received her at the station, deposed that in their hands she received no injury. The inspector said that the dress was much disordered, and she had nothing but her shift sleeve on her arm. It, is also right to add that the policeman had heard groans from the hulk during his watch. The nurse Sophia Stevens, who had charge of her at the station, deposed that she complained of pain in the lower part of the side, and that she said, she should die in consequence of the injuries she had received on board the hulk. She threw up about a glassful of port wine—no more—in which there appeared something like a white powder, which did not mix with it. Strange to say, this was not pre- DIVINE SERVICE IN THE ARMY. served.

Rear-Admiral Berkeley, Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, ►nd his assistant, continued their semi-official inspection of t'ortsmouth dockyard yesterday, and in the afternoon they -ev isitod the gunnery ship Excellent, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, to witness further experiments from that ship at the iron plate target mentioned yesterday. Vice-Admiral sir Thomas Cochrane and Rear-Admiral Martin were igain present. Several shots struck the target, and the non plate was much indented, but none passed through it. After firing several times the Admirals went in a boat k lid examined the iron plate on the target, after which they landed with Sir Baldwin Walker at the dockyard and went to the Admiral Superintendent's office, after which they left the dockyard. In connection with the second target (alluded to yesterday) which is being con structed in Portsmouth dockyard, an eight-inch (95 cwt.) long gun was yesterday placed on a stage alongside the lockyard, and was towed out by the Bee tender yesterday afternoon, to be moored for the next practice, which will probably take place this morning.

The following is a literal• translation, in extenso, of the Austrian circular of the 14th inst., of which an analysis appeared in our journal of yesterday : _ " AUSTRIAN CIRCULAR OF SEPT. 14. "Addressed to all Imperial envoys at German Federal Governments, except to those of the Mecklenburg (who are not parties to the treaty of the 20th of A pril ult.) : " Vienna, Sept. 14. "At the time when the Courts of Austria and Prussia made communications in common, relative to the Orien tal question, to the Germanic Diet, in its sitting of the 17th of August, important communications in the interest of peaceful negotiations were transmitted to the Cabi net of St. Petersburg on the part of the German Powers. . During this we were informed, through the Imperial Russian legation, of Russia's intention for the time being to withdraw her troops from the principalities. " Since then the explanations of the Imperial Russian Court, relative to our propositions for peace, reached us through despatches fro.n Count Nesselrode and Prince Gortschakoff, of which copies are annexed. They are decidedly repulsive, but they confirm the fact of evacua tio iof the principalities. I add to other annexes the note addressed to our envoy at St. Petersburg, where with we reply to this declaration ; and a second des patch intended only as a guidance for the explanation of Count Esterhazy, which has for object to place in a true light the divers erroneous conceptions of the Russian Cabinet as regards our part in the last negotiations. " Before we communicated to our German federal allies our views upon the state of things accomplished we wished to ascertain how they appeared in the .eyes of the Prussian Court. Being informed of its views, we now hold it to be our duty to disclose fully to the allied Governments the attitude whioh we have pointed out for ourselves, and to furnish them thereby also with opportunity for furt'ier consideration of the decisions to which the German Confederation may think itself sum moned, under existing circumstances. "His Majesty the Emperor moat profoundly regrets that the Russian Imperial Court has not thought that he could enter into negotiations for peace on the bases which his Imperial (Austrian) Majesty, in accord with the Courts of France and England, declares to be the necessary conditions for the restoration of peaceful rela tions between Russia and the Porte, and in the aecep. tance oof which hia Majesty the King of Piu-sia had also interested himself. The Imperial Government can. not on its side depart from these conditions, with which hopes of peace and a secure ,future are, wow solely linked, and it hopes tbortthe- iod,may not be distan rovliee - ljtassif /deo -w .. 404 1;4;113 thql-Let gotiatioitil now iejedta on'thls point + "On the other band, his Imperial Mnjelty does not disacknowledge the political importance that is ititlobi t,bly to be attached to the declarations of Russia, in so far es that they have set aside the direct thuiger of a conflict between the two empires. The retreat of Rus sia from the principalities was at an earlier moment an nounced to us as an exclusive military measure, which in no way bore the character of a political concession. The Court of St. Petersburg renews, it is true, at present, the concentration of its forces upon its own territory, exclusively under the point of view of strategical ne cessities ; but it declares this retreat, at the same timP, to be a second sacrifice offered to the interests of Aus tria and Prussia ; and; what more is, it expressly adds that Russia is not disposed to bring about an increase of complications, .but is resolved to defend its territory from all assault whencesover it may come—to remain in a de fensive attitude within the limits of its territory, until reasonable propositions allow it to give activity to its love of peace. Hereby, indubitably, a political and not exclusively military position is designated. The inten tion is proclaimed for the moment not only to abstain from assault, be it upon the imperial territory or upon the principalities ; but alone intent on the defence of its own territory, also not to trespass upon the Turkish frontier. " The evacuation of the principalities may be re ' garded as already completely accomplished, and thereby an important event has been attained, for-the time being, through a conjunction of causes, amongst which we re gard the development of our force as the most decisive. The occupation of the principalities by Russia was de dared discordant with the interests of Austria and Ger- many by German Courts. It appeared not less to the belligerent Powers, it being the cause of war, as the first and nec. , ssary obstacle that, under all circumstances, was to be set aside for the attainment of peace. Russia has now retraced the fatal step, and the weight of this fact already falls, through its direct and immediate results, and by the restriction of the theatre of operations by land, into the balance of the hopes of peace. We cer tainly will omit nothing which can contribute to render our exertions favourable to the objects of conciliation. " We cannot deceive ourselves, on the other hand, that the declarations of the Rusian Cabinet have nothing in them of a definitive character, and that they carry with them no sufficient valid security beyond the events of the moment. When Russia occupied Moldavia and Wallachia, and after the Porte had already declared war, she announced her intention of remaining upon the de fensive, and of not passing the Danube. Circumstances soon changed the resolution. Hitherto Russia has nut abandoned one of her claims. She has offered no guar antees for European or German interests. Should cir cumstances turn to her advantage, she may again seize her pledge, which, yielding at present to necessity, the has renounced. In the face of these circumstance., we must still continue to rely upon our force in order to fulfil our duties towards the Powers who are united with us for similar objects, as well as towards ourselves. We have entered into no engagements to bring about a final decision by active advance against Russia, but we must remain strongly armed, and completely free al to our decisions, in order to be assured that our important in terests shall be sufficiently protected under all changes of events ; and hereafter, during the negotiations for the re-establish rent of peace, that our efforts for the restora tion of legal security and a state of peace in Europe shall attain their of jests. " But if Austria has grounds for adhering, in defence of interests shared with her by Germany, to the armed attitude which she has assumed—if she wishes to nego tiate, in conjunction with Germany, for the attainment of divers German objects—then also her claim remains erect to expect sufficient future support from allied Go vernments. " What may be the attitude to be assumed in case a state of .complications which we did not foresee, and which we will endeavourif possible to avert, should render it as a law for us to pass to a coercive state—this ques tion is not before us—and for this eventuality (fall) the previous special engagements will be insufficient. But Russia, so long as we do not attack her, cannot convert our occupation of the principalities into a cause fur as sault upon us, without finding entire Germany united with us. This, under the prolonged uncertainty of events, we must undoubtedly desire to see acknowledged in a completely binding manner. We might dwell upon the question of what binding force remains in the addi tional article to the treaty of the 20th, under these cir cumstances. It appear& to us that, according to the letter and spirit of this, article, there lays therein the alternative either that complete assurance for the non extension of war and the evacuation of the principalities must be forthco m i ng, or that our occupation of these countries takes place under the protection of a solidarity founded by the alliance. We think we may pass over this point completely, since we are convinced that each fresh examination of the legal point, on the gr ounds of the stipul a ti ons o f the principal treaty, must lead to the same conclusion. " By our entry into the principalities we defend Euro pean rights, and can thence in principleef7d the t exclude n others who are ent i t l e d . B u t' wewill d in tegrity of the Turkish empire, taccordta with the Sultan on the princi and his allies, aga i ns t any a pan ties. We give thereby, andeattack thereby a alone, an ap propriate security for the protection of Austro.German interests during the progress of events as well as at the future settlement.

Mr. HAYWOOD, the engineer to the commissioners, presented the report upon the condition of the Tower Dock, inquired into in consequence of a letter from Lord Palmerston. Some conversation took place amongst the commis sioners upon the matter alluded to in the report, and it was stated that the commissioners had originally desired to have the power to convey sewage by culverts in such , cases as the present to lo w-water mark in the river, but that the granting of such power was objected to at the time their bill was in Parliament, and therefore they did not feel themselves authorised to execute works of the kind beyond the wharf walls. It was ultimately agreed to refer it to a committee, to arrange, if possible, to have a culvert constructed to effect th e desired object, and Mr. Daw (the chief clerk) was instructed to send a copy of Mr. Haywood's report to Lord Palmerston. BLACKWALL RAILWAY NUISANCE. Heavy complaints were made against the directors of the Blackwell Railway Company, in consequence of the long-continued existence of a most filthy and abominable nuisance under the arches of the Blackwell Railway, in Crutched-friars. Mr. WHITESIDE, an indefatigable member of the court, said the people who travelled by the Blackwell Railway were not aware of the tact that, immediately underneath the terminus in Fenchurch- s t ree t, and contiguous to their waiting rooms, those arches were made the reposi tory of dead cats and dogs and putrid filth of all descrip tions and varieties, as well as the scene of the most dis gusting immoralities by day and night. It was finally agreed that the company should be called upon to abate the nuisance within 48 hours, and informed that if they did not comply with the order peremptory steps should be adopted against them. Several owners of houses and premises were sum: maned for not having carried out sanitary works required to be done by the commissioners, and in all cases they were ordered peremptorily to execute the same, and informed that if they hesitated the commissioners would do what they considered to be necessary to the public safety, and sue the proprietors for all the costs incurred.
