The AUTOCRAT is beginning at last to find his various hopes dwindling away in the hour of ex tremity. There are rumours of a defection from his cause (certainly not until after mature delibe ration) of that Austria whose policy he at one time regarded as identical with that of his own .Government. There are not wanting reports, even, among the more credulous, that Prussia may ultimately be induced to withdraw from a complicity with the designs of the CZAR, al though little heed can be had to those statements at the very time when it is announced that the KING is about to have a personal inter view with NICHOLAS; at the frontier town of Stalin poenen. However this may be in regard to the two chief Powers of Germany, there is little doubt but that Danmark, Sweden, and Norway are ripe fOr a declaration of war against Russia, and only wait to that end for the appearance of Anglo- French troops along their coasts, or for some such stimulating or encouraging opportunity. Meanwhile the Asiatic frontiers of Turkey arc being abandoned—the different fortified places hav ing been given up in succession, with the exception of formidable and invaluable strongholds like Anapa, which will only be relinquished, of course, after their vigorous investment. Meanwhile, more over, the Russian forces find themselves compelled to withdraw from the presence of the enemy, not only in that quarter, but in another still more remarkable—the whole of Lesser Wallachia hav ing some time since• been abandoned by the army under GORTZCHAKOFF. And Greece—Greece, too, has failed the CZAR at the precise junctUre when its failure as an accomplice could only be fraught to his Imperial MAJESTY with the most bitter and irritating dis_ appointment. We learn, from intelligence dated up to the Bth instant from St. Petersburg, that the news of King OTHO'S surrender to the ultima tum of the Maritime Powers had caused the ut most dismay and astonishment. Nor can this be wondered at. It can no more be wondered at that the AUTOCRAT should be dismayed to find him- Self deserted by the Court of Athens while Amu's. still continues the Queen of Greece, than that he should have been dismayed to find himself forsaken by the British Ministry, with his friend of forty years, Lord ABERDEEN, still remaining at the head of it. as First Lord of the Treasury. Dis mayed or undismayed, the E mperor NICHOLAS baa been most egregiously d ece i ved and most tia grantly deserted in the hour of need and at th e moment o f extremity not less by King ..,TRO than The defecti on of the by Lord ABERDEEN. KING of Greece f rom the cause of his ae Imperial master can only be taken a fresh illustration of OTHO 's incorrigible faith lessness. Not—common sense and experience alike assure us of that—not as any token that that Monarch's sincerity can at last be relied upon even for an instant. It would be simply ridica low- to ima g ine this for one moment, after the revelation's of his monstrous duplicity now lying before the world in official documents, given at length and re li a bly i n the important blue book recently published by order of her MAJESTY and laid upon the tables of both Houses of Par liament. It is all delightful enough, of course, to know that the Ministerial traitors and the military conspirators, recently plotting treasun with the Court of Athens, have been everywhere discomfitett It is , eminently satisfactory, no doubt, to. hoar that the insurrection . ; has been i effectually put down in all directions—in Epi rus, in Thessaly, and in Mq.cedonia. It is marvellously gratifying, to be sure, to observe that the cards played so long with such consum mate skill by Mr. WYSE, her Britannic MAJESTY'S Representative, and by his faithful colleague, Baron ROUEN, are at length, in consequence of their skilful playing, entirely in the hands of those eminent masters of diplomacy—insomuch that the old Ministry has been replaced by a new one, in cluding amongst its members KALERGI, one of the more distinguished generals of the Revo lution, and A R GYROPOULOS, the learned and liberal Rector of the University, and having at its head the able and excellent MAVRACORDATO, renowned as the MAVRACORDATO of Missolonghi ! But .—. O these " buts"—can it be seriously expected that King OTHO will be faithful, longer than he can help, to his avowed submission to the interference authorised by the Western Governments ? Let the French troops recently landed at the Piraeus be withdrawn—and how long, think you, would OTHO and AMELIA remain faithful to their new engagements ? There is treason still at the heart of that Court at Athens—faithlessness under that mask of affected submission. Treason and faithlessness that only wait for their opportunity. A respected correspondent, who well merits the designation " Common Sense," under which he writes, alluded in a very able letter which ap peared in our impression of yesterday to " the immense sums of unclaimed money" remaining in the hands of the old banking companies in the United Kingdom. It is well known that lost or destroyed bank notes constitute a very impor tant item in the profits of the Bank of England. We shall, for the present, limit our observations on this point to the leviathan, but they are in some respects applicable to every establishment issuing its own notes. The full amount of gain derived from this source is, however, known only to the initiated, to those thoroughly acquainted with " the secrets of the prison-house"—and capable of examining the books and accounts relat ing to the paper issue of the establishment. We may, however, safely assume that it must be very considerable. If any person look merely to his own experience, and call to mind the various casualties that have occurred within his own know ledge, he may form some estimate as to the r amount of what may fairly be termed “ the wear and tear" of bank notes. The wear and tear of the gold currency of the country is generally cal culated by the best judges at nearly 3 per cent. on the entire circulation. Gold is, however, liable to a reduction in value through a loss of weight, a danger from which notes are exempted; but, on the other hand, paper is far more easily destroyed by fire, water, moth, or many other matters, than a metallic currency. So that, taking all the elements into consideration, the loss on the one may be assumed to be about equivalent to that on the other. If that be so, the annual loss on the bank-notes in the hands of the public, assuming the amount in round terms at twenty millions sterling, would be about six HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS sterling per annum. If; how ever, as the data are vague and uncertain, we only take it at half the amount, we find that there is at least THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS a-year which is diverted from the Exchequer by the un wise delegation of the power of issuing bank-notes, and which, under a sounder system, in place of enhancing the overgrown profits of a private Cor poration, would become available for the main tenance of the National Establishment and the liquidation of the national liabilities. But there is another point of view in which the matter must be regarded —one no less relating to the welfare and prosperity cf the industrial com munity than the direct and positive loss of a handsome source of revenue is to theoverburdened tax-payers. It is known that on the ease or tightness of the money market, or, in other words, on the amount of the circulating medium in ge neral use, depends the well-being of the working classes ; inde2d, that circulating medium has been happily termed the "very life-blood of industry." One of the great and test-founded grounds of complaint against the operation of the Act of 1844 was, that it limited, by an arbitrary rule, the amount of paper that could by any possibility come to the aid of trade, commerce, or manufac ture. Every bank note issued beyond some twenty-two millions sterling--fourteen millions for the Bank of England, and something more than eight millions for other Joint Stock and Private banks—must have a cor responding amount of bullion deposited in the Bank coffers. No matter how great may be the increase of population, or of business, or of taxation, no expansion was allowed in the re presentative measures of value. Should that po pulation be doubled or even quadrupled—should our trade and commerce increase in a still greater ratio—there could be no addition to the circula tion ; which, although ample iu 1844, might be totally inadequate to the wants of the people in 1854, and still more so in 1864. This palpable deficiency has been frequently exposed, but it by no means goes to the full extent of the grievance. There are other matters of still greater import ance remaining behind. It is not merely that the Act of 1844 forbids any expansion of the currency to supply the in creasing wants of the community; but it goes fur ther—it provides for its gradual but steady dimi nution. We are enabled to know positively that there has been a diminution of 700,0001. owing to the failure of private banks, or to the agree ments entered into with the Bank of England by the proprietors to withdraw their own notes, and substitute those of the Old Lady. This grievance was admitted by the Times, even before its quarrel with the Directors, and when it was the most enthusiastic advocate of the Bank Charter. But nothing has ever been said of the withdrawal of a much larger amount, namely, that repre sented by the lost or destroyed bank notes, which during the ten years since the passing of the Act— to say nothing of the 150 years which had pre viously elapsed since the establishment of the Corporation in 1692—must amount to several millions sterling ! " This," as the Times might say, "This amount has created a vacany which has been. filled up with gold, that might otherwise have been employed for foreign payments." And it was unquestionably " a circumstance which was not intended, and which should be remedied forthwith It may be said that we have exaggerated the amount. We believe, on the contrary, that we have underrated it. It is easy, however, for the Bank to show the error, if there be one. From what we know on unquestionable evidence of the very illiberal conduct of the Bank, in reference to lost notes—from the stringent nature of the evi dence demanded, and the vexatious delays in sisted on—no less than five years after notice of loss, in the great majority of instances, and then only with an unquestionable indemnity, we are convinced that the amount—against which gold must still be deposited, although it never can by any possibility be required—has a very perceptible influenc e on th e nat i ona l currency. of Parliament Some step s h ou ld b e taken before the prorogation to remedy these crying evils, and to prevent the heavy burden entailed on the tax paying community, by being called on to meet all the expenses of.the war, after paying off no less eight million s o f the public debt, f rom being ren dered more intolerable from a deficiency of the circulating medium. We believe that the effects of the annual " wear and tear" of bank notes on the operation of the Bank Charter Act are well worthy the attention of currency reformers, and of every independent member wh o d oes not wish to sacrifice the creators and producers of national wealth to the cupidity of the moneyocracy.

MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL IIV TELLIGENCE. CITY, TWO o'CLOCK The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday wero estimated at from 6,000 to 8,000 bales, including 2,000 taken for export and on speculation. The market closed tamely but steady. Railway Shares were dull. In the weekly statement of the Bank of England, made up to the 10th instant, there is, as was expected, a reduction i n th e amount of bunion, but it is very trivial. The notes in circulation were diminished, notwithstanding a large increase in the discounts, owing to the addition made to the public and private deposits. The Government Securities were added to, but whether by pur chasers or by the taking of Exchequer-bills or bonds under arrangement with Mr. Gladstone, or by advances upon stock, is matter for conjecture. The demand upon the Bank for accommodation to the mercantile and other classes, had evidently not slackened. Compared with the previous week, the changes are as follows : Active circulation. Decrease Bullion 226,225 12,728,053 Decrease 22,096 3,187,682 Increase Public Deposits 2,993,663 Increase 436,014 Other Deposits Increase 270,886 Seven-Day and other Bills Decrease Government Securities 36,197 10,024,481 Increase Other Securities Increase Notes unemployed Increase 168,172 15,799,944 305,419 5,667,645 201,100 The rates of exchange for bills upon the princi pal continental cities were lower yesterday after noon. Paris, 20 days, was at 25, 20 to 25 ; Amsterdam, at 11 16 to 171 ; Hamburgh, at 13 5t051 ; Frankfort,, at 118 - to ; and Trieste at 13 15 to 20. The amount of revenue at the control of the Honourable East India Campaiy, with the charges of the home and local establishments, the debt and other items connected with the finances of the country, presents a state of affairs satisfactory in many respects, and the details are instructive to all who take an interest in them. The gross receipts from the ordinary revenues of all the presidencies and territories were for the year 1851-2, 17,001,171/., collected at a cost of about K per cent. From salt the receipts in addi tion were 2,7530051., but from this there are de ductions of 784,393/., to be made. From opium, the revenue . was 3,993,542/., the Stamp Duties yielded 472,027/. The cost of collecting the salt tax seems to be about 191 per cent., and of that upon opium nearly 26i per cent. Allowing for a gain of 189,670/. by the exchange with reference to the fixed rate of 2s. per Sicca Rupee, on remit tance transactions between India and London, the total revenue receipts of all the Presidencies was 26,189,428/., and to collect this, cost 3,511,492/. The Eastern settlem en t s , including the Prince of Wales Island, Singapore, and Malacca, gave only 60,686/. of the above total revenue. The district of Coorg yielded 17,552/. the territory ceded by the Burmese 235,4271., the North-Western Provinces a net receipt of 5,670,715/., and the Punjaub and Trans-Indus territory of 892,111/.

In England, the principal amounts were 625,0591. dividends on the Company's Stock ; 121,0221. interest on the home debt ; and the rest for military pensions, payments to her Majesty's Government, allowance for steam communication, &Tx. The amount of debt in Madras was 1,0;7,351/., bearing an annual interest of 55,1831., and at Bom bay 1,376,8961., carrying. an interest o f 73,4671. The total debt f all the Presidencies, therefore, was 48,014,244/., and the interest 2,279,5311. The amount of silver exported from London direct during the week to Thursday last was 557,863 ounces, of which 500,000 ounces to Rotterdam, 32,863 ounces to Hamburg, 13,000 ounces to Dunkirk, and 11,300 ounces to Havre and Boulogne. The gold coin exported to Hamburg was 960 ounces, and to Boulogne 90 ounces. The ship South Sea, from Melbou rne , has ar rived off Bri g ht on w ith 5,420 ounces of gold.

We can state, on the bee; authority, that a feeling of disappointment and dissatisfaction, stronger than can be expressed, has been caused by the appointment of the Duke of Newcastle to the office of the Ministry of War. The Emperor and his Government could hardly, we are assured, believe the fact, when they were informed that Lord Palmerston had been passed over. They made per fectly sure, and were delighted at the prospect, of the noble lord's appointment to the new office. They consider the Duke as much unqualified for the situation as Lord Palmerston is fitted for it. But in addition to this, our Premier is no favourite at the Tuileries, while the new Minister of War is there looked upon as his right-hand man.—Morning Advertiser. THE BREVET. —The brevet is expected on next Tues day, and is to include all ranks of 1846 except captains, who are to be those of 1843. GREAT WESTERN ROYAL HOTEL.--This magnificent establishment is now in complete operation, and is daily crowded with visitors. Every bed during the entire week has been occupied, and niany have been disappointed of sleeping accommodation. This early overcrowding is no doubt due to the attractions at Ascot, so that a more moderate demand on the ample capacities of the hotel may be anticipated for some time to come. The general arran gements are altogether excellent, while the CtiiBlite has all cases commanded approbation. LATEST FOREIGN NEWS THE WAR. MEETING OF THE KING OF PRUSSIA AND THE CZAR. Advices from Berlin of the 13th say that the King set out on the previous day for the pro vinces. It is considered almost certain that his M a j es ty will have an interview with the Czar at the Prus sian frontier town of Stallupoenen. The Prince of Prussia will rejoin the King at Kcenigsburg, where they will arrive simultaneously, and H.R.H. will then be present at the interview. . . M. Manteuffel is not to accompany the King. Horses for the cavalry are very scarce and very . dear. Orders have been given to draw up a state ment of the total number adapted for the service at present existing in the kingdom. A despatch from Vienna, dated yesterday, says the Emperor Nicholas is sh or tl y expected at K i ew. The Austrian and Prussian joint note in reply to the Bamberg Coalition was despatched from Berlin yesterday (Friday). THE RUSSIANS AGAIN DEFEATED AT SILISTRIA PRINCE PASKIEWITSCH WOUNDED. Advices from Hermanstadf, of the 16th instant, state that the Russians made another unsuccessful attack upon Silistria on the 10th. Prince Paskiewitsch received a very severe con tusion on the right leg, and con sequen tly dele gated the command to Prince Gortschakoff, and removed to Jassy. Another account says he received a severe wound in the side from a ball from the Turkish batteries. A Turkish attack upon the Island of llokan was repulsed. EXPECTED ENTRANCE OF AUSTRIAN TROOPS INTO THE PRINCIPALITIES. It was stated in Paris yesterday that the Em peror of Austria has announced to the Porte, through his Ambassador at Constantinople, that, under certain contin genc i es, hi s troops will enter the Principalities very shortly. Advices from Constantinople, of the Bth June, announce that a Convention has been concluded between the Ottoman Pcrte and Austria, autho rising the latter to occupy the Principalities when the Russians evacuate them. VARNA. A letter from Varna, of the Ist, states that 20,000 men of the French army had arrived, and 8,000 English were encamped in a strong position six leagues from the town. The armies were before long to be in full number, and would be directed, it was said, to turn the Russian army, by the Danube, with the support of the fleets, which are close toiV arna. T he d i v i s i on ordered to set out to reduce Anapa had not yet put to sea. Schamyl had joined the Circassian troops on the plain. CONSTANTINOPLE. When Marshal St. Arnaud lately visited the head-quarters of the Turkish army at Shumla, he had, as is a l rea d y k nown, an d m i g h t have been ex pected, a long interview with Omer Pasha, in the course of whi c h th e Ottoman G enera l comp l a i ne d bitterly of the manner in which he had been treated by the Government, and particularly the Minis ters of War and Foreign Affairs, who not only did not send him the supplies which the army stood so much in need of, but did not even answer the nu merous letters he addressed to them ; that he had completely exhausted his own resources for the subsistence of his troops. Marshal St. Arnaud ex amined carefully the state of the army, and saw sufficient to convince him that Omer Pasha's state ment was perfectly accurate. Soon after Marshal St. Arnaud had an audience of the Sultan, and spoke to his Highness of the condition of Omer Pasha and his army, and of his complaints, so often repeated and so often disregarded. The Sultan felt indignant, summoned his Ministers, and, it is added, lectured them very severely on the desti tution in which the army was left. Redschid Pasha declared that he was overwhelmed with business, and that it was too much to make him responsible for the condition of the army. He soon after tendered his resignation, which, as we have seen, was accepted. Such, it is said, was the prin cipal and immediate cause of the retirement of the Minister. RUSSIAN VERSION OF THE ATTACK ON REDOUT-KALEH, AND OF THE OPERA- TIONS ON THE DANUBE. The Russian Invalid, of June 6, publishes the following intelligence from the Caucasus and Danube : " On the 18th May (N.S.), about noon, the Anglo- French squadron, consisting of two steamers of 86 guns, and three steam-fri ga t es , com i ng from Suchum, ap peared off Redout-Kaleh. After taking soundings, the squadron drew up in order of battle within cannon-shot, and remained inactive until about three p.m., after which it sailed in the direction of Batouin. In conse quence of the evacuation of the ports of the middle and southern parts of the eastern coast of the Black Sea, the Tschernomorsk (Biack Sea) battalions, Nos. 9 and 12, were concentrated at this moment at Redout- Kaleb, in order to convey as quickly as possible into the interior the stores of provisions collected at this totally defenceless port. Prince Andronikoff, commander of the Guris and Akaldzick troops, arrived on the 19th to superintend this operation in person, and give final orders for the definitive evacuation of Redout-Kaleh. On this day, about two p.m., the enemy's squadron again ap peared. It had now about 30 boats in tow, and sent a flag of truce ashore, with a letter in French, signed by the enemy's commanders, Lyons and Chebannes. This letter demanded that our troops should surrender as prisoners within ten minutes. This insolence remained unanswered, and consequently they commenced, about four p.m., to bombard the insignificant buildings of Redout-Kaleh. This trouble was vain, because they had already been set on fire by order of Prince Andronikoff, and the troops tranquilly marched towards the post of Nadschiyeva, the appointed rendezvous for all troops of the active army. Field. Marshal Prince Paskiewitch's journal of operations on the Danube, from the 22d to the 27th of May (N.S.), has been received. The siege operations against Silistria have been continued notwithstanding the obstinate defence of the Turks. The principal siege works are directed against the most ad vanced fort, and other detached defences on the east side of the fortress. For this purpose the trenches on the right Danube bank were pushed on to the front selycted by General Schilder for erecting batteries which might take the detached fort in reverse. Bat teries were simultaneously erected, and connecting trenches thrown up on the heights on the left flank. The enemy continued daily to impede the progress of the works by heavy fire and sorties, but the well-regu lated arrangements for the working parties, and the skilful fire of our rifles, frustrated all attempts of the Turks, who were driven rapidly back after each sortie. In all these skirmishes our loss has been insignificant.' We have Only had thirteen killed, with two field officers, and sixty eight men wounded, and fourteen contused. Since the 23d sundry redoubts and field entrenchments have been constructed, under the immediate orders of the Field- Marshal, to serve as points of support for drawing up the besieging forces. On the 24th, Lieutenant-General Pawloff ordered two sections of the Ocholski regiment (21st light infantry, 11th division, 4th corps) to take possession of the island close to Turtukai. On the following morning Colonel Andropoff, commanding the 40th Don Cossack regiment, and the colonel of the 21st Regiment, crossed the Danube with detachments of Cossacks and light infantry, and threw themselves upon Tin tukai, which was abandoned by the enemy. Lieu- tenant-General Pawloff, who was present in person, was received (as a matter of course) by the inhabitants with the holy emblems, bread and salt. They expressed with delight hearty vows for the well-being of our Sovereign, and begged protection against the Turkish robber bands which infested the neighbouring woods. According to the report of the inhabitants, the place had been occu pied by 3,000 Turks, who had retreated, partly to Schumla and partly to Rutschuk. The General Field- Marshal ordered Lieutenant-General Pawloff to occupy Turtukai, and destroy the enemy's entrenchments. The Turks left a considerable number of vessels behind, which will serve to augment our communications between both banks. On the 25th an extensive reconnois sance of Silistria was carried out, in order to divert the attention of the enemy. Major-General Nepokophschitzki (chief of staff to General Liilers sth corps) advanced fourtweiwtherde Fort A battali ons, hdu.mecu. twos i q dr The dron Tu s,a r n h d e espixenfieed a field pieces fire from these works, which (as a natural consequence of invulnerability) did us scarcely any harm.

A letter from Bucharest, of the Ist (says the Patrie), states that a considerable number of fourgons had arrived in that city, loaded with pre cious articles taken by the Russians from the churches and monasteries of Lesser Wallachia. The country has been entirely - devastated. The Greek convents have not been spared more than the others, and everything of any value was car ried away ; the general, colonels, officers, and sol diers—every one pillaged ; and the unfortunate inhabitants, despoiled of all they possessed that was precious, have been, in addition, subjected . to a war of contributions of the most severe and an noying character. The Russians everywhere car ried devastation into the districts which are near the Olta; they fed their horses with the barley and wheat destined for the inhabitants, whom they have reduced to the most frightful misery ; and they burned in their bivouacks even the timber work which sustained the thatch of -the peasants' houses. A great number of these unfortunate creatures now wander about in the country without food or shelter. Such of them as made any com plaint were thrown into prison. The Boyards were not more spared than the others, and the prOperties of a great number of them have been confiscated under the most futile pretexts. These properties —sold by auction for almost nothing—are pur chased by agents who lend - their names to the general and other superior officers of the Russian army, who will thus be the possessors of the finest estates in the country. Such is the state to which an odious war has reduced these unfortunate countries. GREECE. The Moniteur contains the following article on the state of Greece : " A letter from Athens, dated June 7, says :---‘ The English troops, which arrived on the 4th at the Piraeus, landed on the sth by the aid of French, Austrian, and English boats. The sight of the Austrian flag hoisted by the side of ours produced quite a strong sensation " ' The best intelligence exists among the English and French soldiers. There is complete concord among the . Ministry. Their good faith, prudence, and firmness conciliate the good opinion of everybody. The three dismissed Gene rals have made their submission. Theodore Grivas, Tsavellas, and many others have returned in order to profit by the decree of amnesty. The victory just ob tained by the Turks has hastened and completed the pacification of Epirus.. Hadji Petro still holds out in Thessaly. The report of a victory obtained by Kara tassos in Macedonia proves to be unfounded.' " MONTENEGRO. A letter from Cattaro, of the 4th, states that the troops of Prince Danilo had just met with a fresh check. The principal districts of Montenegro show unmistakeable marks of being opposed to the policy which that prince pursues at the instigation of the Russian agents. THE BALTIC. The subjoined telegraphic despatches from Berlin confirm the news already given as to the successful attacks on Bralistab and - Uleaborg. On the 30th of May three English steamers de stroyed the ships, dockyards, and stores of Brah stab, in the - north of the Gulf of Bothnia. 350,000 roubles of damage was done. On the 31st the steamers captured several ves sels off Uleaborg. On the Ist of June four steamers destroyed the ships, dockyards, and stores at Ulea borg. 400,000 roubles damage was done on the occasion. From Stockholm, of June 13, we learn that news had reached that place to the effect that Admiral Plumridge, of the English Baltic fleet, had landed 1,500 men from his ships at the captured town of Uleaborg, and had made prize of a quantity of specie. The French fleet was seen on the 9th of June a Ostergern. HOSTILITY OF SWEDEN TO RUSSIA. From Sweden we are informed that every mili tary and naval preparation is being made. A general expression is expressed that a declaration of war by S weden against Russia may shortly be looked for. ST. PETERSBURG. A letter from St. Petersburg, of the Bth, says that the news of King Otho's surrender to the ultimdtum of the Western Powers caused great surprise. It was thought that Russia might rely on the success of the diversion so dearly bought in the southern provinces of European Turkey. ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF THE TESCHEN CONFERENCE. We find the following in a communication from Brussels, of June 15 Letters which arrive from Vienna and Berlin do not bear out the congratulatory announcements which have been transmitted hither by telegraph respecting the imperial and royal conferences at Teschen. It appears certain enough that the Em peror of Austria and King of Prussia agreed very positively as to the necessity of repressing the pre tensions of the secondary German States of the Bamberg conference, and maintaining. their control over German affairs. But as to what concerns Europe at large, and the general interests which the present war will advance or undo, the result of the meeting at Teschen is hardly a thing for Englishmen and the lovers of free progress torejoice over. Ad cording to accounts received as reliable' at Berlin, the two German sovereigns have been:deliberat ing upon the basis of an arrangement to Which Russia had previously been made a party, an ar rangement which would preclude all those real securities demanded by Europe against a renewal of the Czar's unrighteous aggressions. While ostensibly forbiding a summons to the Czar, and per mitting their journals to exaggerate for the time its importance, they propose that which the Czar must most anxiously desire—the transference of the pre sent contest from the field of battle on which Russia is losing, to a diplomatic congress, upon the basis that the territorial limits of the Russian empire shall not be subject to constriction. In such a congress Austria and Prussia would of course be found on the side of Russia. Nothing that either power has done permits us, for a moment, to suppose that the Danube freed, and so an outlet secured for German trade, the two powers would hesitate to espouse the cause of Russia against France and England, should the latter press, as of course they will, for a settlement of the " Eastern question," which for thirty years has been , the nightmare of Europe. But, long before this could be proved, Russia would have reaped an incalculable advantage from the action of her German friends. A proposal to settle the present strife in a congress, before war has pro vided a real and intelligent groundwork on which to negotiate, is a proposal to palsy the arms of France and England, and to give Russia time both to intrigue and to recruit. The German papers naturally exult in the semblance of a recovered. German independence which they see in the de spatch of au Austro-Prussian " summons" to St. Petersburg, but the Germans have always been de ceived when they have hoped in their sovereigns. The Russian party is quite satisfied with the result of the conference of Teschen, and that fact is the best commentary on'their character. CONCENTRATION OF TURKISH TROOPS AT RUSTCEIUK. We find the following in the Press of Vienna : " A letter from Orsova, of the Bth, states that the Turkish troops who are quitting Lesser Wallachia are marching by Nicopolis and Sistow on Rustchuk, at which place all the disposable troops on the Danube are to assemble. Said Pacha, who commands at Rustchuk, has orders there to form a camp of 40,000 men, in tended to break .the line of investment of Silistria, and to relieve that place. Iskander Bey is mentioned as the officer who will have the command of the corps intended for this important service. Omer Pacha will, at the same time, snake a diversion from Shumla in favour of Silistria, but the principal movement of attack will proceed from Rustchuk. Two steamers and 80 gun-boats are now ready in that port to support the expedition against Silistria, which will take place be tween the 18th and 20th inst. It is said that Omer Paella intends to occupy Bucharest in the-event of its being abandoned by the Russians, and to take, or, at least, to surround Giurgevo. Russian troops continue to enter Moldavia from Bessarabia. The departure of Prince Paskiewitsch for Jassy is fixed for the 15th. The most influential Boyards are hastening to quit the place." BUCHAREST. The Vienna Correspondenz has the following in telligence from Bucharest : " Bucharest advices, reaching up to the 9th inst., state that the concentration of the Russian troops in the eastern, and the consequ en t evacuation of the western, part of Wallachia still continues. Prince Paskiewitsch was at Kalarasch on the 9th inst., whilst the head quarters of Prince Gortschakoff had been definitively transferred to Rustchuk. The general feeling of the inhabitants of Bucharest is exceedingly depressed, for, however, secretly all the movements of the Russians are usually kept, it has nevertheless transpired and come to the public cognisance, that the Russians think of shortly evacuating this city, and the distressed natives now fear to find themselves some fine morning deserted by their generous protectors, and completely abandoned to their own fate, and to the tender mercies of some flying corps of Bashi-bazouks, who might ride into the town without striking a blow. It was stated that Prince Paskiewitsch intended to transfer his head quarters to.. Jassy on the 15th inst. Ads ices from that city, bearing date the 6th inst., state that the fortifica tion of the city is to be carried out on the most exten sive scale. Several private places have already been taken for the purpose of converting them into hospitals for at least 2,000 patients. The Russians troops are Continually crossing the Pruth, and marching into Mol. davia, almost in the same numerical force and conti nuity as at the beginning of the campaign last year. All the villages in the neighbourhood are actually swarming with Cossacks. A. part of the famous dragoon corps, that Russian phenomenon of double drill, is also ex pected here, New bridges have been thrown over the in order to f S a e c r i e li t t h ate an th d e t m he ov ß em is e tri nt s s e o a r tthdeifftcrroeonpts.paces, RELIGIOUS OBSERVANCES OF THE EX PEDITIONARY ARMY. The following letter, dated Constantinople, 22d May, from the Bishop of Gibraltar to the Society for Promotinr , Christian Knowledge, and read at the meeting of the board on Tuesday last, will be perused with interest : "I think I informed you of my intention of visiting Constantinople. It was my wish to time my visit so as to afford me an opportunity of doing service to our gal lant comgrymen -who form the expeditionary forces to - this country, and I have not been disappointed. The last three days have been very remarkable in a religious ' point of view, as connected with our Christian position in this Mahometan land. On Saturday I held a confir mation for the camp at Scutari, when three hundred and two soldiers received the sacred rite. The notice which had been given had of necessity been very short, and the chaplains had but little time to prepare the candi dates, yet I may truly say that I have :never seen the ordinance received with greater devotion. Among the 300 bronzed and weather beaten faces of those who knelt to receive the laying on of hands, I did not see one which did not appear to be impressed with the solemnity. Many of them: evidently felt it very deeply. At the conclusion, though the men had been kept standing for two hours, (for we had no seats,) they requested that they might be allowed to sing the ' Evening Hymn,' which they did with great fervour, being led by the band of the 33d, which had also chanted the usual portions of the even ing service. The place where we assembled was one of the upper corridors of the great Turkish bairack, about a mile from ,the camp. Yesterday, being the Lord's day, we assembled at the same place to celebrate the holy communion. On this occasion tie majority were officers, the whole number of communicants being be tween three and four hundred (we were not able to ascer tain the exact number, on account of the inconvenience of the place). Morning service had been already per formed by the chaplains in their respective divisions, so that we began at once with the communion service. I gave only a short sermon, or rather a brief address, as the con gration were obliged to remain standing for want of seats ; and, with the help of three of the chaplains, we were able to accomplish the • whole service with in a reasonable time. It was impossible for any one not to feel impressed with this service, nor can it be easily forgotten by any who were present. Many were partaking of the Lord's Supper for the first time, and many most probably for the last. The number of very young men was remarkable ; and the fervent and devout manner in which all joined in the prayers and responses was both gratifying and affecting. And when at the close all kneeled upon the ground, the generals afid principal officers in front, and the rest in order behind, I found it difficult, without emotion, to pronounce the Benediction. These services are considered, by those who remember the habits of an English camp in former wars, to be striking indications of the improved charac ter of the British army in regard to religion. And I chaff be thankful if they contribute, in however small degree, to advance the improvement." AUSTRIAN OCCUPATION OF ALBANIA AND SERVIA. A letter from Vienna of the 12th, in the Cologne Gazette, says :—" It was decided yesterday that Albania and Servia are to be occupied by Austrian troops. The necessary orders have been already forwarded, and the Austrian advance-guard will soon enter these two provinces. The advance guard in question will be composed of one brigade, and will be commanded by General de Gablentz, formerly head of the staff of General Schlick. All the regiments of the corps-d'armee of Galicia are to be on the 20th of the present month in their respective positions. The head-quarters are to be transferred from Cracow to Lemberg." FRANCE. The Paris correspondent of the Morning Chro nicle, writing yesterday, says :—Before you can receive this letter you will no doubt have had the news of the rejection by Russia of the summons sent by the Austrian Government to 'St. Peters burg, calling on the Czar to evacuate the Danubian provinces. This was to be expected, and is pro bably not to be regretted, as it will force Austria, and probably Prussia, to declare themselves more decidedly and open than they have hitherto done against the usurper. I understand that the French Government is now perfectly satisfied with the attitude assumed by the German Powers ; and that no longer ago than yesterday the Emperor stated, at St. Cloud, in presence of several political personages, that nothing could be more satisfactory than the relations now existing between the four Powers. I am informed that Austria is carrying on negotiations at Constanti nople to obtain a convention with the Porte, similar to that signed between France, England, and Tur key. This convention regulates the military assist ance Austria is to give to Turkey. The negotiations are far advanced. Some weeks ago I alluded to a change of Ministry about to take place here. I now learn that the affair is all but completely arranged. The Count de Wale wski leaves London to assume the direction of Foceign Affairs in Paris. M. Drouyn de Lhuys is to be appointed ambassador at one of the principal Courts of Europe, but I believe it is not settled exactly at which Court it will be. M. Bineau, the present Minister of the Finances, is to be appointed governor of the Bank of France, in the place of Count d'Argout. M. Bineau returned this morning to Paris from the Pyrenees, where he has been for the last month. The Countess de Montijo, mother of the Em press of the French, arrived in Paris yesterday morning. The Duke d.'Albe accompanied her. The army of Italyis also to supply its contingent to the army of the East. The half company of ope ratives of the artillery, who, after the siege of Rome in 1848, were quartered in the fort of San Angelo, where they remained ever since, left for Toulon at the latter end of May. There they are to be em barked for the East, where they will join the other half of the company. This is hitherto the only corps of the division of Italy which has been called to take a part in the war against Russia. Private letters from Toulon of the 14th state that there were in that port six frigates, four cor vettes, and three avisos, sufficient to transport 8,000 men to the East. The vessels form part of the steam flotilla already announced in the Moni teur for the purpose of constantly conveying troops, when necessary, to the seat of war. The Monte zuma was expected from Greece, as also the Ber thollet and the Orenoque from Senegal. The Lap lace anchored at Toulon the same morning with half a battalion of the 23d, which is proceeding to join the regiment in Greece. The crops, which had hitherto presented the most favourable aspect, are beginning to cause un easiness, in consequence of the almost incessant rain. Everything concurred to induce the hope of a plentiful harvest. The sowing in autumn had taken place under extremely advantageous circumstances, and the extent of land sown ex ceeded by 15 per cent. that of ordinary years. Speculators were busied yesterday in preparing for the half-yearly settlement of the account of railway shares, and, a considerable quantity of stock being required, an advance took place. The Three per Cents. have risen 60c., at 71f. 20c. The Four-and-a-Half per Cents. are without quotation for the account, but for money they are 25c. higher, at 96f. 25c. Bank of France Shares are 10f. higher, and those of the Societe Mobiliere sf. higher. Foreign Funds were neglected. Railway Shares were in demand, and have risen 10f. to 15f. each for the good lines. Exchange on London (short), 24f. 97-c., money ; ditto (90 days), 24f. 70c., money. LAP INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY). COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) IN RE WITHERS.

The Corriere Mercantile - mentions a rumour cur rent at Milan, according to which a camp of 40,000 Austrians is to be formed at Volta, on the Mincio, ostensibly for military evolutions. A letter in the Parlamento of Turin states that on the night of the 24th ultimo, some men landed at the small bridge of Fiume di Nisi, in Sicily, but that the police having received timely information by telegraph, s en t a par t y of soldiers to the spot on the night of the 28th. They invested the house of Don Paul Interdonato, where some of the persons in question had sought a refuge ; the place was, however, so vigorously defended by a well-sustained fire from the windows, that the troops, after having two men killed and several wounded, were obliged to retire to wait for reinforcements. These having arrived, the at tack was resumed, and Interdonato and all his family taken prisoners. A thousand ducats have since been offered for the heads of John Interdo nato, Joseph Scarperia, and Franc isco Savona, who are supposed to have formed part of the expe dition; but it is believed they have succeeded in making their escape to Malta. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of thp 11th have arrived ; but like those of preceding days they are devoid of political interest. Heavy rains had fallen in most parts of the country, and had done great good to the crops. The 11th being Sunday, the Stock Ex change was not open. SAN SALVADOR.—Accounts from San Salvador of the 26th of April, ten days after the earthquake, state that the number of bodies thus far dug out was 308, but this is supposed to be only a small portion of the total killed. The President had issued a proclamation, calling upon the population of the departments to assist the ruined inhabitants of the destroyed city, and measures ware to be immediately taken for the selection of a better site for its reconstruction. COCHINEAL.—Advices from the city of Guatemala of the 3d of May state that the cutting of the cochineal crop was in progress, and that the yield would be from 12,000 to 15,000 serous. MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION.—During the re cent holidays this excellent establishment experienced unusual public support—the rooms being continually crowded during the whole time. The groups which ap peared to attract the chief attention and curiosity of the visitors were—the Royal group, consisting of her Ma jesty Queen Victoria and her youthful family, and the group representing the Monarchs now engaged in hos tilities. MODENA.—The Military Commission at Massa has just condemned by default a M. Ricci, a landholder, to death ; and an arti s t, name d F on t ana , to hard labour for life, for attempts at revolutionising the Duchy of Modena in a republican sense, Rest MINING INTELLIGENCE.
