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 Pfordteia'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 are 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. 'Z.—With regard to M. von der Pfordten's mission nothing positive has as yet transpired. Count Buol gave a gran►d 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 anyresistauce 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 it 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. The Cattolico publishes a pastoral letter of the Archbishop Franconi, from Lyons, against the sequestration of the nunnery and convent in Piedmont." "ROME, Nov. I.—Several ecclesiastical princes, and amongst others his Eminence the Cardinal Prince Schwartzenberg, have arrived." " Coustf, 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 Bourdaunaye has been severely afflicted by the war in the Crimea, one sou 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 Ligno was elected president, MM. de Renesse and d'Omalius d'Halloy vice-pre sidents ; MM. Grenier - Lefebvre, Spitaels, de Pit teurs, and Du Trieu de Terdouck, secretaries ; and MM. de Rodes and de Ribaucourt questors. MM. d'Omalius de Renesse, d'Ane 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 Sentinelle Toutannaisc 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 Parseval's 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 g i v en 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 Diario Espanol says that there are now en listed in Spain about 200,000 National Guards. The regular troop§ 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 im provement had taken place in several of the mines of Zacotecas, 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 ba ll g iven to Santa Anna, in com memoration of his 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 anaounced 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 h is accounts with the bank- The case, it is believed, wilLbe prosecuted to a bankruptcy, which will, of course, lead to a full disclo sure of hi s a ff a i rs an d t ra nsactions ; but it is p ossible th at his friends, some of whom are ve r y wealthy, will prevent this by satisfying the claims of the bank. MONEY MARKET wv i 5 .E 1-4 , ,j1. -4 TN ALL I .E CITY, TV 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 Id. per lb. higher. The sales comprised 7,500 American, 350 Pernam and Maranham at 51d. to Bid., 700 Egyp tian at Md. to 81d., and 1,500 Surat at 31d. to 41d., 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 rico has been in better demand, at advanced rates. Cotton has been heavy of sale ; saltpetre is held more firmly ; cochineal has declined about id. per pound ; hemp and flax have been rather iu increased request ; and tallow has not been brisk, but maintains its value. The condition of the London dried fruit trade is thus described by Messrs. Witherby and Hanson : "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 80s. to 858., 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 Tanti ry is not equal to the Liverpool fruit, but is held at 80s. 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- 12 ments to the northern ports of Europe have , however, N, considerably reduced the stock of such description." 16 In the Liverpool circular of Messrs. Houghton St. and Levy is the following respecting distillation 1 1 1 from currants : 20 "The stock of '5l is only very trifling, and, with the Sl, limited supply of new, not at all adequate to a moderate t c on sumption. The better description of other growths St. will no doubt ere long come into notice, and as the French 20 Government has prohibited distillation from grain 3 4 strong hopes are entertained that the low qualities will st, be taken for that purpose ; distillers there have already 50 given their attention to this, and a movement is in progress 40 to petition the Government for the import of currants and 25 raisins duty free, for such purposes—a facilitation which, 25 it is anticipated, they will obtain. The Economist of last St. week makes a similar suggestion to the distillers of this Bst2s country, or to be allowed to distil in bond under control, St. and remarks that, if this is contemplated, steps should be 50 taken at once, before any measure be adopted in France 25 which would cause the low-priced fruits to pass to that 100 market. The duty•paid clearances have materially in creased, from 95 tons in September to 270 tons in Octo- 2r ber ; the same month last year they were only 45 tons. 50 The exports also show a favourable result, being 130 20 tons, against 90 tons in September; in October, 1853, St. they had almost ceased." 50 The foreign commercial advices are of a meagre st. character this morning. The stock markets of the 16 Continent at the latest date were heavy, but money, 8 generally, is abundant. The Neapolitan Govern- S S ment has prolonged the right of free importation of 2i . grain to June, 1855. 25 The English Funds have been very depressed go t. again, and the supply of money stock still 50 exceeds the demand. The decline at the 1 0 Paris Bourse undoubtedly has an injurious effect, 10 and the exaggerated apprehension about the dura tion of the Sebastopol siege is also working. Con sols have been 931,, to 941-, and are since 931 to 937 for transfer. The account prices have been 94i I, and are now 931 to 94. The new 3 per Cents. have been 92 to 93, and the Reduced 9*, to 931. In Bank Stock nothing has been done. East India Stock is 233 to 235. Exchequer Bills have been 6s. to Bs., and India Bonds 11s. 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 11 to 1 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, 5! 2 to G ; Mexi can, 22 to 22•, - ; ; Peruvian, 68 to 70 ; ditto, 3 per Cents., 48 to 50 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents., 40 to 42 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 95 to 97 ; ditto, 4i per Cents., 84 to 86 ; Spanish New Deferred, 18 to 18.1 ; ditto, 3 per Cents., 37i to 38 ; ditto, Certificates, 5t to 5 ; ditto, Passive, 4, 1 , to 4/. 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. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (Prom the Oficial List.)

Consols ditto November A cel'int CORONER'S INQUEST. yt Admiral Parseval Deschenes, Commander-in-Chief of the French squadron of the Baltic, has arrived in Paris. He is in a short time to rejoin his squadron. The whelq is now assembled at Cherburg. - - Mr. Wm. Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, has 100 been engaged for three day s in q uirin g into the circum- 20 stances attending the death of Edwin. Roe, aged one 5 year, who died from the effects of arsenic. The inquiry 20 took place in the Royal George Tavern, Union-street, Rotherhithe, and excited, at each sitting, considerable 4 interest. The following will be pund to be a brief sum- 20 mary of this important inquest : 29 Harriet Roe said that she was the wife of William 20 Roe, a hoop-shaver, and she lived in Wild's-court, Ja- 20 maica-level, Rotherhithe: The deceased was her son. 33i, A person who came to her house gave him a halfpenny, 20 10 for the purpose of purchasing at a shop a cake.. Her son George went out with her children and was absent 20 about five minutes, and on his return she saw 'a cake in the deceased's hand. It was a flat cake, 1 covered with carraway seed, coloured blue, yellow, 20 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 a l so ate w h at he bad. He had his 20 dinner that day, consisting of mutton, pudding, and some potatoes. After pa r ta kin g o f t he breast, witness 10. 20 ma de some sop for the child, which it refused t o take. 4?) The deceased continued to fret, and she put it in the 20 cradle, where it slept for nearly an hour and a half. 20. Upon awaking it vomited. It went to sleep again 20 until about nine o'clock. She told her husband that 20 the child seemed convulsed, but he did not think 20 0 medical aid necessary. Between half- p ast ten and 5 eleven o'clock she retired to bed, kee p in g a candle 20 burning lest the infant should wake. At a quarter N past twelve he got worse, and appeared sick at the s t o mach, and he made an attempt to vomit, but could 20 throw nothing up. She then sent her husband for a gi doctor. Oa his return Mr. Burns came, who saw the 10 child. She informed him what it had partaken of dining 20 the day, and that after eating the cake he was not out 20 6 of her presence. Mr. Burns sent some medicine by her husband, consisti n g of a powder and mixture. Th e 20 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 straggled in her arms and expired. She could not account for the d ea th otherwise : it was altogether un 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 keeps a little shop for the sale of cakes and 11 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 i a e nak death g arsenic withhad coloured n t ; arisen b u t they tc through (theinflammati on these ajury)Ysuch seeds considereda want thereon,of care in the making of 'such kcaes as amounts to an act of criminality." 11 E SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 10, 1854.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. QUEEN V. ALLEYNE 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 American trotter, called Pigeon, to do 1S miles within the hour, but, by fraud and misrepresenta 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 fur 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 IN joinder 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, on 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 M`Geachy Alleyne, proceeded to indict Captain Kennedy and his attorney, Mr. Morris Newton, of Lancaster 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 on duty in the East Indies. The rule was supported by Mr. Sergeant Shee, with whom was Mr. Huddleston 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. QUEEN 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. It appeared that the defen dant had been committed by the justices of Leek on a charge of perjury, the misdemeanour arising out of a prosecution for poaching, in which a person named oosmwnn Hancock oeorarannti nphgrat e loos : -ef p a rs ae s vt sehe i ti n : dfii seeing five, e t t Hs, e h d taaaonnff f fd o col fo r Hancock ktes trespassingho committing e June, r a w tT h fi i nve l ee witnessess t h ' pursuithc e leo d tk e or f fe e os n gni d ahat a msah n sdee l was called to prove an alibi, and he swore that he saw Hancock in his own house at five o'clock on the morning in question. Nevertheless Hancock was convicted, and thereupon the magistrate committed the defendant on the charge of perjury, refusing, at the same time, to ad mit him to bail. It was contended, however, that the evidence of the defendant was quite consistent with that in the game case, because it was just possible that, after the trespass, Hancock hurried home, and was thus seen by the defendant almost about the same time as that sworn to by the two witnesses. Application granted. GENERAL CANROBERT'S _DESPATCH. We extract the following from a letter received from Paris this morning is true that General Can robert's late despatches are not very encouraging ; they are, perhaps, too discouraging ; but it re 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 find hundreds of men, otherwise rational, to give credit to. I believe the aforesaid Tartar had some thing to do with the matter, as, but for the over expen diture of joy when his enormous imposture was first current, we 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 from 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 things as they are, and when he 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 to not less than 140,000 men, will be called out early next year. LIPBANDTS 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 Tchor gun, and this consists of the Asow 23d 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 directe(l against the troops engaged in the siege, but against the English troops in position upon the flanks of the Chernaya valley, iu 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 his disposal to drive the Russians out of that position." "VIE FOUR POINTS." The following correspondence from Vienna, of sth inst., appears in the Br eslaur Z eitung : "As to the result pf his (Herr von der Pfordten's) 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 throw 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 a ttack 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." LETTERS FOR T HEHEBALTIC. BRITISH FLEET IN T GENERAL PosT-caTimg, November, 1854.--The main body of the British fleet in the Baltic being now at Kiel Bay, the letters addressed to officers, seamen, &c., se rving in that fleet, will in future be forwarded daily (Sundays excepted) by the route of Ostend to Hamburg, whence they will be sent on to Kiel. The weekly communication via Dantzic has ceased. All letters upon which the requisite amount of post age has been pre-paid, will be sent via Hamburg, unless otherwise addressed. Upon officers' letters the following combined British and foreign rates of postage must be paid in advance : viz.,- - Not exceeding ?ioz. in weight, 10d. Excceeding ioz. and not exceeding loz., le. Bd. Exceeding 1 oz. and not exceeding 2ozs., 3s. 4d. And so on, according to the scale for charging inland letters. Ordinary seamen's a nd soldiers' letters, posted in con formity with the usual regulations, may be forwarded via Hamburg, provided a combined British and foreign rate of postage of 7d. be paid on them in advance. Newspapers cannot be sent by this route. Letters for seamen serving in the British fleet in the Baltic may still be forwarded under the usual regula tions, for a postage by her Majesty's ships pro ceeding from England, but such opportunities will neceogarily be uncertain. 13i 14 RAJ ET ATE ws—(Tills DA Yo A USTRI CORN EXCHANGE.

NAPOLEON A COSSACK.—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, though not Catholic, very like it," and then he added " Bonaparte was one." The other doubtingly inquired how so, for ho thought he was French, when the first assured him that he was born in Cossica, which thuro was no denying, and all around yielded assent. All this was in sober earnest.—Letter in Dublin Evening Mail.

IMPORTANT USE OF THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—NO more marked illustration of the advantages of the tele. graph to the reading public has fallen under our obser tion than that which occurred on Friday last. It will b e reco ll ec t e d that the steam-ship Africa was signalled off this port about one o'clock in the afternoon of the day above-mentioned. 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, and the intermediate towns,—New York Revak?. English Foreign &ASKED. BY HER FRIEND—" THE TIMES." We suspect there are very few of our readers who have temper, patience, or leisure to trace through all their entanglements 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 self-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 genious plan has in one respect been perfectly success- ful. The great German nation, with its literature, its refinement, and its valour, has been found quit e f ree from any aggressive impulses. The misfortune is, that with the power yf aggression that of self-defence has also disappeared. The machine of the German empire is . so contrived as to give every member of the Con 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 g races of the Autocrat of Russia, and rea dy t o 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 ss ehmede pettyr i e n c t r hc e eo a uc t u ro t r l sl e i s ss i eo e o nk f 0 tfral abovea d r i g t i e o ar n l l s, thingst i a n t v e e s , n tati and, d n ~ a vb o oy r i d ea th p n r ig flinb e in gg i ng their weight now into one sca l e, now i nto the ot h er, 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 Princes strut and fret their little hour, there is a mass of fel , menting and fostering disaffection, ready to exp lode at the moment when least expected, we h av e enough to 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 de• fenceless eastern frontier, her arm is palsied, her heart is faint, and her councils divided and irresolute. Fu r 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, Germaty cannot even rise to the level of a German question, and, if the West. 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 Congress of Bamberg was in the Russian interest, and Austria dared not move without the eon sent of the Congress of Bamberg. Meanwhile success began to declare itself i n 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 a direction obviously dictated by other considerations than those of European or even German poli9y. 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. s.. 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 bas 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 saddensthe 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 ? Having joined with us in all our negotiations 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 had so unaccountably separated herself. 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 iii 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 Po wers with whose views Austria has professed entire concurs ence, and in the success of whose arms she has affected to rejoice ! 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 Pacha 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 own. She has joined us in protocols, but deserted us in action.

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 to the bonds in the ordinary manner, and to call in fo r that purpose the few that have yet been put forth..4We -Qty rtick. 1 1 1 50 30 20 1. 1 40 5 St, 25 - I - i - 8 ••• "'". lOUS 1101 24 3
