LIFE ASSURANCE. lion IMPORTANT BENEFIT EVER YET OFFERED BY TIE UNIVERSAL PROVIDENT LIFE ASSOClATlON.—Established 1849. Persona insured for Life, who have paid three yearly premiums and upwards, can receive back their money, less the premium for the risk incurred during the time they were insured on surrender of the policy. EXAMPLE. B, aged 35, pays 147. 3s 9d. a-year for Life for 5001, and at the end of seven years wishes to drop his Policy—he will at this time n ave Paid 99/. 6s. 3d., and for the surrender of the Policy he would i n oilier offi ces get a very little, if anything, and the premiums Would consequently be lost. The Directors of the Universal Provident, feeling this to be a h ardship great a n d a positive obstacle to the Meru ion of Life Assurance by all_ classes, hav e adopted the equitable principle of deducting the pre -41.E , M for the time the risk has been incurred from the premiums the Pall, and ret urn i ng th e b a l ance t o th e p ar ties, thus making a profit Mselves without any risk. In the example above the insurance for 5001 for the time would have been 91. 9s 7d. per. annum, or Gill. is. IA ; this deducted from 997. Gs. 3d. leaves 321. I9s. 2d. to be retu rned. The advantage of this principle is peculiarly applicable When Policies are taken out to cover Loans Diseased lives and lives rejected by other offices taken. C. %V. BEVAN, Managing Director. E. P.

Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of heir physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are Principles of - personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties. and when wisdom and regret succe ed t ReYday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties ' , ay be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided; and above that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. eA uthor has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which havo unfortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignoran' eraeirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place aith in their pretensions. _ NERVOUS DEBILITY may be had, price 2s, of Messrs.

In the month for the financial jesty the Sultan, in his high solicitude of April last year, his Imperial Ma- Li firman granting, to a company .of and commercial interests of his em pir t e w , e d h e , i e gr i i )a ed nk t e o rs is a s n u d e atm cercolniasntatsn,tiuth.:pple. privilege of foundi n g an Ottoman bank We, at that period, informed the public of this im portantc,- s. project, and we then published t he chief arrange ments. ment The poltical complications that sprang up soon after, and which subsequently induced a state of warfare, checked the execution of this project. The founders, however, continued to foster the hope of being enabled to realise, on the restoration of peace, arid at no distant future time, this useful financial institution ; and at their request, the imperial government consented to their keeping the imperial firman in their hands for a reason able time, and to their postponing the project for a season. Unfortunately, these hopes of the founders of the Ottoman Bank have been dissipated in proportion to the serious turn taken by eventl, and as the return of of peace became more uncertain. From that moment they took the resolution not to prolong uselessly the un certainty of the situation, which the kindness of the im perial government had permitted them to keep. In consequence, on the 31st of July (Aug. 12) all the founders of the bank presented themselves in a body at the residence of his Highness the Grand Vizier, and returned to his hands the said imperial firman that had been granted to them, and likewise made their final re nunciation of the privileges that formed its object, ex pressing at the same time to hic, highness their lively regret at not having been able to profit by the benevolent intention of his Imperial Majesty towards the establish ment of a financial institution of such great utility for the general interests of the empire.

NAVAL AND MILITARY IXTELLIGENCE, The Algiers, 91, Capt qiu Talbot, wac placed in dock 2t Keyham on Tuesday. She is to be supplied with a new screw propeller, and her repairs aro to be executed with all despatch. The Cnracoa, 31, screw, Capt. the Hon. G. F. Hastings, had her steam up in the factory basin at Portsmouth yes terday to test the working of her engines. The Malacca, 14, scr-w, Captain Farquhar, is quite out of the shipwrights' bands at Portsmouth, but is still in dock waiting the repair of her screw-gear. The Sphinx, 6, steam•frigate, Captain Wilmot, is now complete at Portsmouth, and will be ready to leave for the Black Sea to-morrow. A great many seamen have volunteered at the Roy naval rendezvous for service in the Black Sea fleet. Advices were received yesterday under date Smyrna, Aug. 30. The French war steamer Chaptal had arrived with 7 Greek pirates captured at the Isle of Sures, sup posed to be those implicated in the destruction of the trans port found at Pares. The frigate Melampus is ordered from Pembroke to Ply mouth, with Mr. Brown and the party of riggers who navigated the Madagascar to the former port. Twenty-five seamen from the Impregnable, and 25 from the Royal William, were draughted, on Saturday, on board the Indefatigable, at Plymouth. Shipwrights have completed laying the keel of the Liffey, 50, building in No. 3 slip in the Devonpurt dock yard, and have commenced laying the floors. Letters, dated Sept. 3, have been received at Devonport from the Belleisle hospital-ship. She was to sail on the 4th for England. The depot of the 31th Regiment was appointed to arrive by the North Mail at Plymouth on Wednesday. The French war steamer Brandon; with troops from the Baltic, left the Downs on Tuesday afternoon for Cher bourg. TRIAL OF THE COLOSSUS. Colossus, 80, screw, Captain Spencer Robinson, went out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday morning at ten o'clock. The order was made from the flag-ship to annul saluting, so that the compliment was dispensed with. She went out of harbour in beautiful style, and at the rate of nine knots, her excellent ship's band on passing the Vic tory striking up "Rule Britannia," and then " Cheer, boys, cheer." The effect was great from the shore, where thousands had congregated to view the departure of this extremely handsome and most perfect two-decked screw line-of-battle ship. Several elegantly-dressed females graced the poop on this occasion, anxious to witness her performance through Spithead. There were also several scientific gentlemen and officers of both services present. There was nothing, however, to be observed on this occa sion more than has hitherto been made known to the pub- lie. Penn and Co.'s new trunk engines, represented by Mr. Hartrey, who was present, performed their customary revolutions with that exactness that we have been ac customed to witness. There was another matter we paid most particular attention to, and of more importance than the public are aware of—we mean the telegraphic commu nication between the poop and the engine-room. This in vention of Captain William Crispin, of her Majesty's yacht, does him infinite credit. We watched the exact working of it on every occasion of the order being given to to ahead, full speed, stop her, back her, &c. Alongside Captain Crispin's dial plate and telegraphic communication was Mr. Bonney's gutta percha tubing, and on every occa sion that a signal was made through the telegraphic wires, the same question was repeated by the tube, and an an swer returned stating its correctness. Commander Johnson worked the two communications for his own satisfaction, as well as that for the Admiralty, to whom his official report must be most highly satisfactory. Colossus, after taking sundry turns at Spithead, let go her anchor, where she remains to complete her complement and await orders. During the time of her evolutions the beautiful ship's band played several melodies, under the able direction of the band-master, who, we understand, has been engaged from one of our crack cavalry regiments. APPOINTMENTS. Surgeon—J. Macleod (1547), to the Furious, 16, steam frigate, at Portsmouth. Clerks' Assistants F. H. Chown, to the Harrier, 16, screw steam ship, at Portsmouth ; G. B. Ferry, to the Victory, 101, flag ship, at Portsmouth ; and D. Yeoman, to the Impregnable, 101, flag ship at Devonport. THE TRANSPORT SHIPS. The Vifredo, hired steam transport, was to have em barked detachments of troops yesterday at Portsmouth Dockyard for the Black Sea, but so much conftrsion seemed to prevail as to how accommodation was to be provided for them ou board that it is questionable whether the troops have yet embarked. She is ordered to take out the following officers and troops :—Lieut.-Colonel Wood, Coldstream Guards ; Brigade Major Ellison and Dr. Reed, of the Grenadier Guards ; Purveyor-in-Chief Wriford ; and Purveyors' Clerks Pightt, Hag-ger, and Willan, with detachments of the 79th and 88th Regiments, consisting of four officers and 150 men, which arrived from Winchester at Portsmouth Dockyard yesterday for Turkey. Since the foregoing was known, a message has been received at Ports mouth, from the Ordnance-office, stating that the stores not taken by the Vifredo may b 3 transferred to her Ma jesty's steam sloops Sphinx and Stromboli, both which vessels are refitting in Portsmouth harbour to proceed to the Crimea: Rear-Admiral Superintendent Martin and a board of officers hell a survey on the Vifredo yesterday afternoon, the result of which was, that it was found, on measurement of the cargo in and waiting to be shipped, that there would not be accommodation for the troops, 100 of whom will be transferred to other vessels. Tho Gomelza, hired sailing transport, has been taken up to convey the remainder of the 34th Foot from Portsmouth to Corfu. . 4 Tho Aliporo, No. 8, transport, having discharged the cargo of old shot and shells she brought home from Malta, left Woolwich yesterday, and went up the river to Deptford. SHOT AND SHELL FOR THE BLACK SEA. The Salamander paddle-wheel steam-sloop, Commander B. P. Priest, has been loaded at the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, with shot and shells for service in the war in the East. Sho will leave the Royal Arsenal at an early hour to-morrow for the Mediterranean and Black Sea station. THE HAMMOCKS OF THE ROYAL WILLIAM. The whole of the hammocks used by the Russian pri soners while on board the Royal William were on Satur day last placed in the kiln in the dockyard, where they were kept in hot water till Monday, and, on being taken out, were taken to the sail green, where they were all well scrubbed previous to being returned into store. DEPARTURE OF THE LYNX. - _ The steam gun-boat Lynx, Commander Lure, having completed her stores and taken a mail on board, has pro ceeded to join the fleet in the Black Sea. COURT-MARTIAL. A court-martial was held on board her Majesty's ship Victory, at Portsmouth, yesterday, to try John Dray, a seaman, on the following charges :-1. For having, on the 13th of September, on board her Majesty's sloop Hornet, refused to obey the orders of Lieutenant Bush, senior lieu• tenant of the said sloop. 2. For having behaved in a mutinous manner towards Lieutenant Bush, by rushing up to him and using violent language, and threatening to knock his head off. 3. For having, on the same day, offered to draw a cutlas upon Lieutenant Bush, and " let daylight through him." The Court, after hearing the evidence in support of the charges, and what the prisoner had to allege in his defence, declared the charges fully proved, and adjudged the prisoner to receive 50 lashes and two years' imprisonment with hard labour, and to be mulcted of all pay and allowances due to him. DUBLIN", SEPT. 20. The following communication has been received from the Horse Guards in reply to a memorial of the gentry of Kilkenny, praying that Lieut.-General M`Donald may be continued in command of that district : Horse Guards, Aug. 29. Sir,—l am directed by the General Commanding-in- Chief to acknowledge the receipt of the memorial which you transmitted to him, very numerously signed by the magistrates and gentlemen of the county of Kilkenny, re questing that Lieut.-General ll`Donald may be continued in the command of that district notwithstanding his recent promotion. Viscount Hardinge desires inn to request you will assure those gentlemen that it is very gratifying to him to receive this proof of the estimation in which the ; services of Lieut.-General M`Donald are held in a part of the country where he has been so long in command. His lordship regrets, however, that he does not feel at liberty to accede to the wishes of the memorialists by recommend ing her Majesty that Lieut.-General ArDonald should be retained on the staff at Kilkenny after the Ist of October next, as his promoti on to the rank of lieutenant- general will, acco rding to the ru les of the serv ice , necessarily re move him from that command.—l have the honour to be, sir, your most obedient humble servant, C. yoRKE. To John Greene, Esq., M.P. BELFAST, S e pt.l9.—Lioutenant-Colonel Lockhart joined the head-quarters of the 92d depot, at Belfast, on Satur- day last, from Gibraltar, and proceeded yesterday on a fortnight's leave of absence. The additional number of mou mitred tomuk, IQ 124) 410 4ow at C. aireitini embarkation for Gibraltar, to 100 rank and file, proceeded, under charge of an officer, by railway to Dublin, yesterday morning, en route to Cork. Staff Assistant-Surgeon Tit terton, attached to the 15th depot, at Londonderry, has been ordered to proceed immediately to London for em barkation for Turkey—a civil practitioner to do the duties of the medical department. KILKENNY, Sept. 20.—Staff Assistant-Surgeon Kellett left Kilkenny on the IGth inst. for London, en, route for the East, and Surgeon Kearns, of the Kilkenny Dispensary, has been appointed to the medical charge of the troops in this garrison. Major-General Eden, C. 8., who has been appointed to succeed Lieutenant-General McDonald in the command of the Kilkenny Military District, visited our city on Saturday, for the purpose of making arrangements fur hi 4 future residence here. General Eden will assume the command from the let October. Captain A. McDonald, 92d Regiment, eldest son of Lieut.-General McDonald, has bcen appointed aide-do-camp to General Pennefsther, in Turkey. THE CAMP AT BOULOGNE. The • troops at Honvault are now busily engaged in . making the military road along the sands to the crimp, , ordered by the Emperor before his departure. It will be a great convenience, not only to the soldiers, but to the town of Boulogne, when co mp l ete d , an d, f rom the number of hands employed, this cannot occupy any great length of time. Not, however, that the work Jone is carried on with any extraordinary vigour by the men, for, to speak candidly, they stein to have no idea how to use the spade and the pickaxe with effect. An English " navvy" would look down with supreme con tempt upon the united labours' of half--a-dozen such, and, as for their tools and wheelbarrows, he would not pro- bably consider them too big for his children. However bail the implements we have sent with our army to the East, they must be infinitely Puperior to those in the French service, and our troops -IPust be va.4ly better and more energetic hands at the Construction of field works, if the mode in which the new military road at Boulogne is being executed is to be taken as a specimen. Yet the French soldier can work quickly and well in many ways. A company of 100 strong will provide it self with the requisite complement of huts, such as are used in the different camps, in 10 days ; and one regi :Tient, the 12th Light Infantry, completed all these, at Wimereux, in less than two months. Many other ex amples might be given of the rapidity with which, in the French service, the lighter descriptions of labour are executed ; and it should always be borne in mind that soldiers in France are constantly engaged in occupations which, if proposed to ours, would either be found im possible, or would create a mutiny as infra dig. instances of this, it may be mentioned that an order from the Emperor has alone prevented the decoration of the camps round Boulogne as at Satory ; that many of the regiments indulge in the luxury of a neatly-constructed sun-dial, with a turf pedestal ; that the interior fittings of the huts and tents show many ingenious contri vances for shelves and pegs on which to stow away accoutrements ; and that it is no unusual thing to see an artist soldier, as is at present the case at Wimereux, with a band of assistant comrades modelling a n image of the Virgin for the chapel. As another illustration of the free use made in this country of the soldiers' services, a public hall cannot take place in the town of Boulogne without having sentinels placed round the room. The French army performs unhesitatingly among its other duties many of those which, with us, belong to the police, and which would, therefore, be regarded as dero gatory to the military character. In some respects they remind on e o f our sappers, always ready to turn their hands to any work which the Government requires to be executed, and who seem always to be more skilled la bourers than soldiers. It is, perhaps. in some degree this character of the army in France which detracts from the mechanical perfection and precision of its discipline, fur the same result is observable to a certain extent in our sappers. Being a small body, the inconvenience is little felt with the latter, but when it extends through out the entire force it becomes serious indeed ; one con sequence is, that when critical movements have to be executed in the face of an enemy, a degree of confusion arises which must be highly objectionable, and no one could help observing the other day at Marquise moments when, with dense columns deploying into line or form ing square, a 'sudden charge of cavalry or a well-di• rected cannonade might have proved the most disastrous effects. It would appear that drill is very little attended to ; that recruits, instead of being handed over to a non commissioned officer for careful training, are left to be broken in by the junior officers of each company, and ' that they are turned out as available for active service with a rapidity which would quite shock the notions of our martinets. No one who has paid frequent visits to he different camps around Boulogne can fail to have , oberved the great absence of bodies of men going through their parade exercises and evolutions, At Chobham, with tielddays twice and three times a week, this was of constant occurrence ; but here, when such a thing is seen, it usually turns out upon inquiry to be a punishment for misconduct. In considering the effective character of French troops next to the want of that precise and sple - ndid discipline which distinguishes our own army, we notice the ex treme and objectionable youthfulness Of a very large proportion of the men in each regiment—they are not :nen or even youths, but boys—and if their bodies were strong enough to stand the load which they have to carry and the fatigue they have to endure, it is impos sible that they can have that firmness and constancy of mind—the attribute of manhood—which, above all things, is an essential quality for the field of battle. Upon lads of such tender years the weight of their knap sacks and other equipments must have a very injurious effect, for it is quite a mistake to suppose that the French soldier is less heavily burdened on the march than ours ; on the contrary, with less physibal strength to bear it, his load is greater, and though comparisons have been made in this respect unfavourable to the British service, they would certainly not be borne out upon a fair trial, conducted under precisely similar cir cumstances. The choking effect of the high leather stock worn by the British soldier has, especially during hot weather, placed him at a disadvantage, and it is be yond dispute that greater attention to convenience and comfort in clothing him may be combined with a con siderable reduction in the bulk and weight of his kit, but even now, as to the • load actually put upon his back, it is satisfactory to know that ho is a less encumbered man than his comrade of the French service. lam assured that on the march in very hot weather, French regi• [cents suffer dreadfully, and one instance has been men tioned to me in which a battalion setting out from Paris nearly 800 strong reached Boulogne with only 200 men. In Algeria great latitude is allowed as to clothing, es pecially in leaving thethroat and chest exposed, and the experience which a large portion of the French troops now serving in the East acquired there has no doubt, been found useful in Turkey. It furnishes, how ever, a striking and sad example of the difficulties which surround warfare, and of the impossibility of finding equipments suitable to every variety of circumstance, that those tro o p s , sleepi ng at n i ght in their small, low Arab tents, should have suffered so frightfully from cholera. Whatever the objections to our bell tents may be, they must be far safer to use when epidemic disease is prevalent. A point of some interest to the military system of both countries, which the camps round Boulogne afford opportunitysn . of . alludi ng to, is that, with the excep tion of the nvand!ere, no women are allowed to accom pany French regiment s . Sh e is generally the wife of some deserving man in the ranks, who, as a reward of his good conduct, has the c an t een, i n the management of which she assists him. A. near view of the fille du regiment is almost as destructive to the operative romance thrown around her a s th e f act that she is not a femme sole. Cockney visitors to Boulogne during their holydays have been sorely perplexed at finding illusions borrowed from the well-known prints of the music aeve( certainly- shops rudely destroyed by th ese facts. On the other hand, they have been able to . produ ce startling effect upon the minds of French military m en by relating how many women English regiments sent out to the East be th e ga ll an t r y o f far eclipsed by ours in that respect. Every one remembers the pro vision made at Ohobbam for the wi ves of the soldiers, thew with hreiich them. army ‘ Whatever is t the great public subscription for the famili es o f th ose who have gone to fight our battles in Turkey, and the announcements which have appeared from to .time of the number of women, and even children, which the trans port ships took out as a part of their f re i g h t. In the French service all this is obviated by a rule requiring that every officer and soldier, before he obtains permis sion to marry, shall produce proof that his wile has a sufficient income of her own to prevent her becoming a burden upon him. What would the fair sex in Eng land say to so stern and mercenary a decree ? The distribution of honours, such as medals and the Cross of the Legion of Honour, constit u t es a peculiarity in the French army which seems worth pointing out. These marks of distinction are awarded with great libe rality, yet they seem much prized by the recipients, apparently because they are received on special grounds in each case. It is objected to our service that we give medals indiscriminately to all wh•have been under fire, or, if special honours are awarded, they are g i ven only to those already in high position, while acts of d evot i on or merit on the part of subordinates remain unrecog nised. It certainly is an agreeable thing to see non commissioned officers, and even privates, distinguished from their fellows by a badge calculated t o exc i te emu lation ; and, if the military profession still looks to such rewards, there seems no good reason against the French mode of conferring them. With referebce to the mess arrangements of the French officers, it may, perhaps, be useful to point out wherein they differ from us. In our s erv i ce the practice is for all the officers of a regiment to mess together, the colonel taking the s head of the table at dinner. In theirs, only officers of the same rank mess togeth er , t h e sen i or presiding. A. good deal may be said in favour of the )ne plan or the other, hut undoubtedly t h e expensive style of living which prevails in tour army, and which practically tends to exclude all but men of we a lth f rom holding commissions in it, should induce th ose who are anxious for a reform to look with interest at every point in that interior economy of the military profession in France which enables officers; upon very slender means, to preserve the appeartuce &O . *mg Qi catkins:l. Although the course which the Austrian Government has pursued with reference to the quarrel now pending in tin East has obviously been dictated by an exclusive solicitude for the Interests of that empire, it will not be the first time that the subtlety of the Cabinet of Vienna has overreached itself and placed the State in consider able difficulties. Upon the outbreak of this war there was one broad intelligible course for the States of Gen many to pursue, which we never ceased to recommend to them, as much for their own safety and dignity as for the general interests of Europe, and for the speedy restora tion of peace. They had acknowledged as strongly as France and England the injustice and illegality of the demands of Russia and of the seizure of tile Principali ties ; they had been parties to the first attempt to settle the dispute by negotiation, and they had only to perse vere in the European policy of the Western Powers. But, when other States more powerful or more sincere than Prussia and Austria began to prepare for action, they :confined themselves to protocols and deinonstra- tioris, and to this hour they are endeavouring to take advantage of battles which others may fight, and of victories which others may win. It is not our province to determine how far this policy is consistent with - the dignity of the chief States and Sovereigns of Central Europe or with the expectations raised by their own de clarations ; for in matters of national dignity and of na tional good faith our standard is not that of Vienna and Berlin. But we undertake, without much diffic - ulty, to show that the position in which Austria has placed herself by these combinations, refinerneets, and half-mea sures is perilous and insecure, and must ere long become altogether untenable. For this purpose we shall Ric cessiveiy consider her relations with Russia, - with Tur key, with Germany, and with the Western Powers, and we think it will appear that in attempting to keep well with all parties she has incurred some risk of uniting parties against her. The relations of Austria with Russia are clearly de scribed in Count Nesselrode's Note A ustrian :the 26th , of August, in which he rejected the iast propo sals. The Chancellor of the Empire declares that in retiring from the Principalities, out of consideration for the wishes of Austria and of Germany, Russia had con fidently hoped that Austria would cease to make com mon cause with the Western PoWers for the avowed object of reducing the strength and influence of the Russian empire. But how was she disappointed when she found that the next step of Austria was to give her assent to the ulterior conditions of the Western Powers —conditions involving the abrogation of all former trea ties, the destruction of all the Russian naval establish ments, and the restriction of the power of Russia in the Black Sea, and to bind herself to treat on no oth er con ditions ! Russia therefore complains that she has ob tained from Austria no compensation for the sacrifice she affects to have made; but that, at the very moment when her troops are leaving the Principalities, the Ca binet of Vienna enters into closer and more extensive engagements with the other belligerent powers, her ene mies. Can any Austrian statesman doubt that this lan guage conceals, under an affected moderation, a deep sense of the injury which Austria has already done to Russia by paralyzing her right arm in this war, by com pelling her to drop and disgorge her booty, and by driv ing her once more across the Pruth ? By occupying the Principalities herself in the name of the Sultan Austria has rendered her offence still more palpable in the eyes of Russia, and at any other moment the immediate an swer from St. Petersburg would have been a declaration of war. What is the language of the Russian party in speaking of Austria ? It has tenfold the bitterness of their hostility to France or even to ourselves, What has been the position of Count Esterhazy at St. Petersburg for the last few weeks ? Every attempt has bees made to insult and annoy him ; yet he remains at his post, although it had been positively stated by the Austrian Cabinet that the rejection of the last terms would be followed by his recal. We entertain no doubt of the sincerity of this dissension between Austria and Russia, for it is widened by fear on one side and by resentment on the other : and if peace were restored to morrow between the Western Powers and Russia, Aus tria would be the next victim of that mighty empire which coils like some leviathan round its prey, con demning every neighbouring State to do its bidding, or to perish in its folds. Austria, however, has attempted to assert her inde pendence by allying herself to belligerent Powers, while she herself remains at peace, and even by moving her armies across her own frontiers, without becoming a party to the war. That certainly is the most original and anomalous position ever occupied by any State ; for a country allied with a hostile power for military pur poses becomes hostile ; and before such a State is suf fered to take a part in military operations its allies are entitled to claim some proof that their enemies and their objects are the same. Such, however, was and still is the nature of the relations between Austria and Turkey as regulated by the Convention of the 10th of June—a treaty between a belligerent an I a non-belli gerent power, by virtue of which the non belligerent has entered into possession of the principal territory in dis pute. It is true that the movements.of the Austrian troops into the Principalities have been oonstantly com bined with the staff of Omer P a sh a , awl . that the Turks and Wallachians have not ceased to guard their posi tions, and to advance upon the retreat of the Bus. sians. We trust that Omar Pasha will be able to continue his operations with vigour along the fron tier, so as at least to prevent the withdrawal of the Russian forces from Bessarabia to the interior. But can anything be more absurd and unusual than the position of the Austrian troops serving as the basis of an army engaged in active operations in which they take no part, and occupying a country in whieh all necessity for their presence ended at the moment they entered it ? The Turkish Government deservedly attaches the greatest importance to the maintenance of the best relations with Austria, which is the real bulwark of the Ottoman empire. The treaty which permitted Austria to enter the Principalities was a strong proof of the confidence and amity of the Porte ; but some incidents have already marked this occupation which may give rise to different feelings. We shall not enter at length into the complicated relations of Austria with Germany, but it is notorious that very wide differences have arisen between the Cabinet of Vienna and that of Berlin, and that no union of purpose is to be traced in the proceedings of the Frankfort Diet. The petty Governments, being all more or less under Russian influence, have leagued themselves against every display of energy on the part of Austria ; Prussiahas abetted their factious resistance, and where the Court of Vienna hoped for national sup port it has been thwarted by incessant jealousies and divisions. It has, therefore, damaged its influence with the Confederation by an attempt to infuse energy into that decrepit body, and it has damaged its influence with the people at large by allowing its policy and intentions to be defeated by these miserable intrigues. One course might have conciliated the Governments—the other would have satisfied the nation ; but the Austrian Ca binet has first alarmed the German Goverments by its energetic preparations for war, and then disappointed the whole manhood of Germany by declining to use tkem. While, therefore, this ill-defined system has left Austria at variance with Russia, in perplexity with Turkey, and on doubtful terms with the rest of Germany it has also had the effect of largely increasing the dis trust of the Western States. Austria has no power whatever over their movements, which were not sus pended for a single day to meet her convenience, and she will exercise no influence over their future intentions until her own are perfectly clear. Hitherto she has proposed every successive measure in which she had taken part with us. The Conference of Vienna and its protocols, the quadruple convention which Prussia declined to ac cept in March last, the separate treaties with Prussia and with the Porte, the terms of negotiation last offered to Russia, and even an offensive and defensive treaty be tween Austria, France, and England, which was on the point of signature when the Russians announced that the Principalities should at once be evacuated, were the successive and consistent steps of Count Buol's policy. These were accompanied by enormous military and financial preparations for war. Every preliminary mea sure had been deliberately and gradually taken ; nothing remained to be done but to give effect to the last resolu tions of this long-suffering., much-enduring policy. Russia declared• that the terms which Austria made the sine qua non of peace were utterly inadmissible, and could give rise to no further discussion, but that the basis of future negotiations must be settled by the fortune of war. And it was at this extreme point that the Emperor Francis Joseph and his Ministers dis covered that, after all, they had no casus belli against the author of these calamities, whose encroachments they had repelled, and whose ascendancy in the Black Sea and on the Danube they had declared to be incon sistent with the independence of Turkey and the balance of power ! Such a decision at this moment did un doubtedly occasion great surprise to those who were acquainted with the extent of Austria's preparations and the language of her assurances ; and, although it can produce no effect upon the great expedition in which the Allied Powers are now engaged, it gives them time right to require of Austria, at a suitable and not distant time, a more precise and positive explanation of her definitive intentions, for her present course of policy is calculated only to prolong and extend the evils of war, and to embroil her with those very States whose cause she had thus far adopted.—Times. COMPELLING TEEM TO COME IN.—The Rev. W F. Vance, incumbent of Coseley, has the last three weeks descended the coal pits of Lerd. Ward, 11. B. Whitehouse, Esq., and the Messrs. Bagnall, at the dinner hour of the men, and preached to them. The rev, gentleman in formed them that as they neglected to come to church to hear the gospel message, he would bring the church to them. The number generally present, it is s:Ad, is about 60 men. It is gratifying to add that, so pleased were the men with this attention, that they invited the rev. gentleman again to visit them, which he promised to do in succession, as he means to descend all the pits in his district. The rev. gentleman, on being remon strated with on the danger of such an undertaking, re plied that his life was of no more importance than the poor man's life.— Wolverhampton Chronicle.

The following is the result of an investigation of the treatment of cholera by castor oil, communicated to the president of the Gene- ißoard of Health by the Medical Council : The medical counci.: ) the General Board of Health appointed a committee to consider aia' report upon the treatment of cholera by castor oil. The committee CO sisted of Dr. Paris, Dr. Babington, Dr. rweedie, Dr. Bayly, and Mr. Ward. The following report of the com mittee was received and approved by the ectincil. The committee having read Dr. Johncln's letter to the President of the Board of Health, together with its enclosures, found on an examination of Dr. Johnson' cases, that eleven of them were cases of cholera in a stet-: of collapse, of which -ix were fatal. Five other cap. ; aof cholera did riot pass into a state of complete collal se; these t erininated in recovery. Three cases of choler aic diarrhoea also recovered. - Mr. Ward cotninuoicated the experience of Mr. ----, to the effect that he had treated three cases of cho., ra with castor oil, according to the recommendation of l r. Johnson, and that they had all proved fatal ; one in six, one ;n seven, and one in ten hours ; also the experience of Mr. who treated five Cases of cholera with cas tor oil, all of which proved fatal ; and of Mr. --, who treated with castor oil one case of cholera, which termi nated fatally in eight hours. A letter from Mr, to Mr. Ward was also read reporting four cases of cholera treated by him with cas tor oil, In one of these cases the treatment was begun half an hour after the commencement Of the attack, and was continued for fifteen hours, when the case terminated fatally.. The three other cases were those of children of seven, five, and two years of age respectively. They were not seen at first, cholera in them passed into secondary fever, which proved fatal in all. Read a letter from Mr. to Mr. Ward, reporting that fie had treated with caster oil five 'cages, which all proved fatal. Dr. a member of the committee, reported two cases of cholera, which had been perseveringly treated with castor oil, and which were both fatal. Dr. ---'s report of seven cases of developed cholera treated with castor oil at -- Hospital, was read. Six proved fatal, and one continued in a state of amendment, which had commenced prior to the employment of castor oil. Dr. - could perceive no good effect from the employment of the oil, and considered that by its exhibition the good effect of other remedies was lost. A letter was read stating that castor oil had not been tried in -- Hospital in cases of cholera. A letter from the Medical Registrar of -- Hospital stated that in commencing cholera one or two doses of castor oil did not prevent severe symptoms from setting in. Of six cases of developed cholera treated with castor oil, four were fatal, and two. recovered ; the two re coveries were mild, one of them especially so. The oil passed unchanged, apparently without acting on the intestines. Dr. -, of - Hospital, reported nine cases of cholera treated by castor oil and tincture of capsicum, which all proved fatal. One case of recovery, in which only three doses of the oil with capsicum were taken, and one still under treatment. His report gave an ac count of eight cases treated by castor oil alone ; six proved fatal, one is in a hopeless condition, and one is passing into secondary fever. A letter from Mr. -, apothecary of - Hospital, gave an account of the treatment of two cases of cholera by castor oil ; both cases were fatal. A letter was read from the Medical Registrar of the --- Hospital, giving an elaborate account of 15 cases of cholera treated with castor oil in that institution ; of the 15 cases, 8 were fatal, 1 remains under treatment, 6 ter minated in recovery ; but in 4 of these there appeared on their admission every probability of the patients re covering. A letter from Mr. -, of - Hospital, was also read, reporting 7 cases treated according to Dr. John son's method, with castor oil. Of these 5 proved fatal ; one lies in a critical condition, in consecutive fever ; and one was getting worse, until the oil was discontinued, but is now well. A letter from one of the visiting physicians of -- Hospital, who reports that 16 patients—averaging about 25 years old, were treated by castor oil for cholera ; 10 proved fatal ; one bad relapse, but is convalescent ; one had relapse, and is still under treatment ; and four had permanently recovered. A letter from Mr. ----, o f Hospital, report that the castor oil treatment has been adepted in seven cases. In six of these deaths ensued, whilst in the seventh ease the patient recovered, but there was de cided improvement from the use of several doses of iron before the cast.,r oil was commenced. Abstract of the above eases : Mr. —, of Hospital, 2 cases, 2 fatal. Mr. of ---- Hospital, 3 cases, 3 fatal. Mr. ---, of Hospital, 6 cases, 6 fatal. Mr. —, of —Hos pital, 1 case, 1 fatal. Mr, —, of Hospital, 4 cases, 4 fatal. Mr. ---, of— Hospital, 5 oases, 5 fatal. Dr. —, of —, 2 cases, S fatit,,,, Dr. of 7 cases, 6 1 recovered ; amendment before taking the oil. Dr. of —, 6 cases, 4 fatal, 2 recovered ; both mild. Dr. —, of --, 8 cases, 6 fatal, 2 still under treatment ; one in hopeless state, state, one in consecutive fever. Mr. —, of —, 7 cases, 5 fatal, 1 recovered, 1 still under treat ment ; one in consecutive fever. Dr: j 4 - 7 —, sixteen cases, 10 fatal, 4 recovered, 2 stilL un'it'" treat ment ; sone had relapse, one still W4er treatment. Mr.—, of 7 cases, 6 fatal, one recovered ; in an incipient state before the oil was taken. Mr. of --, 15 cases, 8 fatal, 6 recovered, 1 still unde'r treat ment. Total, 89 cases, 68 fatal, 15 recovered, 6 still under treatment. Cases treated at Hospital, with castor oil and tincture of capsicum -11 cases, 9 fatal, 1 recovered, 1 still under treatment. From the above extract, the details of which have been carefully investigated by the committee, it appears that in 89 cases of cholera treated by 14 different prac titioners with castor oil, on the plan recommended by Dr. Johnson, 68 were fatal, recovery having occurred only in 15 cases, while the six remaining cases are still under treatment. The above treatment having been laid before the council, and approved by them, it was resolved that the same be communicated to the President of the General Board of Health. (Signed) JOHN AYRTOF PARIS, Chairman. B. G. BABINGTON. A. TWEEDIE. WILLIAM BAYLY. W. B. WARD. Whitehall, Sept. 20, 1854. The medical council of the Board of Health having been requested by the president to prepare any formula that the board might make public for use, in case of premonitory diarrhma, before the arrival of medical aid, the following resolution was agreed to :-- " That the medical council think it, as a rule, dan gerous for non-medical persons to resort to the use of drugs without medical advice, and especially they de precate the extensive use of opiates, on the one band, and on the other hand of aperients, such as castor oil and salts. " The medical council, moreover, deem it impossible to prescribe a remedy which would be appropriately or even safely taken by all persons suffering from diarrhoea. " They are of opinion that the paper called ' Precau tions against Cholera' contains instructions for all the measures which the public, unadvised, should adopt ; but they suggest that the heads of families should con sult their usual medical attendants as to the measures to be taken in cases of emergency, and that the medical officers appointed by boards of guardians and other pa rish authorities should take care to give the same infor mation to persons of the poorer classes." PRECAUTIONS AGAINST CEIOLERA. 1. Apply for medicine immediately to stop looseness of the bowels, or it may bring on cholera; 2. Do not take any strong opening medicine without medical ad vice ; 8. Beware of drink, for excess in beer, wine, or spirits is likely to be followed by cholera ; 4. Drink no water which has not been boiled, and avoid that which is not quite clear and well-tasted ; 5. Avoid eating meat that is tainted, decayed or unripe fruit, and stale fish or raw vegetables. Cooked vegetables, or ripe and cooked fruit, in moderation, are a neces sary part of diet at all times ; 6. Avoid fasting too long ; be moderate at meals ; 7. Avoid great fatigue, and getting heated and then chilled ; 8. Avoid getting wet, or remaining in wet clothes ; 9. Keep yourself clean, and your body and feet as dry and as warm as your means and occupation will permit ; 10. Keep your rooms well cleaned and lime-washed, remove all dirt and impurities immediately ; 11. Keep your windows open as much as possible to admit fresh air, and, if necessary, use chloride of lime or zinc to remove any offensive smells ; 12. If there are any dust or dirt heaps, foul drains, bad smells, or other nuisances in the house or neighbourhood, make complaint without delay to the local authorities having legal power to remove them, or if there be no such authorities, or if you do not know who they are, complain to the board of guardians.

SHIRE. A. meeting of the 101. preference and No. / quarter shareholders, and afterwards a special general meeting uLthe_sharPholders in this company, took place yester• day at the Corn Exchange, Manchester ; the Right Hon. the Earl of Yarborough presiding. Both meetings were held for the purpose of receiving the report of the com mittee of preference shareholders, appointed on the 2d of August last, to consider the question of the arrears of interest. The recommendations of the report have already appeared in The Sun. The attendance of proprietors was not so large as has been usual on previous occasions. Lord YanßonouGH, in opening the proceedings, said the committee of preference shareholders appointed on. the 2d August last, who had every right to the confi dence of the proprietary, both on account of their per sonal position and their very large stake in this concern, had decided to recommend the capitalisation of the ar -rears,--at-sech amount as they shall stand ou the 31st December, 1855, by the issue of a 31 per cent, prefer ence stock, to bear dividenl from the Ist January, 1856. They had also reported a suggestion, that an option ihould be given to issue, at an agreed rate, the for feited and unissued stock of the company to such parties 71s might prefer it. The question presented so many points for argument that it was hardly likely an entire ' concurrence of opinion could exist. Representations had been made to the directors by some of the orizi»al proprietors, who were of opinion that 31 per cent. stock --represented more than the preference shareholders were entitled to receive in lieu of their arrears ; but the direc tors, as they urge d upon th e preference shareholders the acc eptance of the terms proposed, would also urge their adoption by the original shareholders. The committee e re g p l o Y rt • Parliament accordi, the e d gone very carefully into the question, and therefore to h rs di t rectors would earnestly recommend the proprie tors consider the matter as amicably and equitably o i f n thec settled,and to arm the board with powers to proceed to he would move the adoption of th and to authorise meeting of shareholders shareholders, and thatthe directors be. requested to refer it to a general meet' - conclusion em m i committee tee of preference for confir mation,m obtaining powers to carry out the same by act of Parliament.

Lord YARBOROUGH said that at the meeting just closed the directors had received the sanction of the holders of the preference shares to the recommendation s of the committee appOinted on the 2d of August. There were some, as he had already observed, who thought that a 31 per cent, stock was more than an equivalent for the preference arrears ; but the directors thought it was a question, not of 1 per cent., but of uniting toge ther all classes of the proprietary in .order to get the thing settled, so that there might be an end to all differ ences of opinion among the shareholders as to what should be done with the arrears, and to agree to a mea sure which would give the holders of those arrears a saleable property in exchange for bne which had no value in the market. He would now move that the report of the committee of preference shareholders, dated 31st August last, which had been approved by the preference shareholders at a meeting held that day, be confirmed, and that the directors be authorised to carry out the sane by application to Parliament. Mr. CHAPMAN seconded the resolution. Mr. CARR moved, as an amendment, that the ques tion of capitalising the arrears be deferred for twelve months, that the shareholders might have an opportu nity of seeing the benefit to be derived from the late arrangements with the London and North-Western Company. Mr. CORFE seconded the amendment. The amendment was aceardingly put, and six hands only were held up in its favour, the original motion being carried by a large majority, with loud applause. The proceedings concluded with the passing of votes of thanks to Lord Yarborough and the directors, and to the committee of preference shareholders. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN. SIR, —ls a paper manufacturer I have been more amused than instructed by the different suggestions in the pipers of articles suit a bl e f or ma ki ng paper. M a ki ng experiments is usually a thankless if not costly business, and when we have to pay a duty of 200 to 300 per cent. on the new material to the Government, in the shape of excise, when made into paper, what possible induce ment have paper makers to try them 7 The capital re quired to meet the iion'si share demanded by the inland revenue, and the vexatious rules, and miscue penalties, for infraction requ i re d un d er a b arbarousand antiquated code, have had one sure and certain effect, that of con fining the trade to a number comparatively few. Their reasoning is naturally this—the public must have paper, and are using it faster than ever. Rags are scarce and dear, let them pay the increased price necessary. And as the duty does not stop consumption from increasing, the process is being carried into effect in an accelerating ratio. The same causes that have sent prices up so much will raise them still higher. Yet it is p e rf ec tly t rue t h at t h e material necessary for making paper is in existence to any extent, and only requires to be developed. They have found this out in countries where the trade is free and enterprise rife. viz., the United States. In that country the consumption of paper is just four times as large as our own per head, and may be put down at 300,000,000 lbs. annually. Manu facturers hare recourse to substances scarcely ku ),‘ 12 here, and straw is employed, strengthened with strkinger fibre, for thin and thick woven papers, as well as fo mixing with white paper pulp. The waste from palm leaf manufactures, swamp canes, wcod shavings, and other materials are employed in making paper, and the quantity of white paper is made more abund int by blown being employed for many purposes it is not employed for here ; such as envelopes and thin wrapping papers. The material for making brown papers is, and will be always, more abundant than those for white paper. But white paper, or paper nearly white, is used largely for wrap ping purposes in this country, and all tie material that will whiten, and which is put into such piper, is taken away from that species of paper in which white ness is indispensable, and makes it dearer. If the duty cannot be taken entirely frznn paper, a great and beneficial change would be produced by allow in, all coloured and tinted papers whatever to be free. Then the enterprise of the manufacturer would be free to try experiments without the certainty that now exists of heavy loss. At any rate, he could sell the new made article at the price of manufacture, without duty. Be. sides which, substances now very abundant, and useless for white paper, would make good tinted writing and envelope paper, and having no duty to pay would be much cheaper, thus soon coming into favour. Much good would be done by such a step, but, until the Chinese shoe of the paper duty is taken off, the trade of paper•making cannot, as the Americans say, "go ahead." I name the paper manufacture in America from recent and practical experience among paper-mills there. Sti mulated by the reports of Messrs. Whitworth and Wallis, I visited the States to see how they maaaged mills there. I was completely taken by surprise at the advanced state of the trade in every department, up to the finest writing and drawing papers. Every improve ment that had been invented in our own country is in universal operation there. The elastic state of the ma nufacture arising from a constantly increasing demand, the free communication between one man and another on all matters connected with machinery, the intelli gence of the workers, and, above all, freedom from any legislative regulations or impediments, all combine to produce a state of the highest prosperity. It is true that the raw material is becoming as scarce there as it is here, and is, besides, 20 per cent, dearer ; but fresh sources of supply are being opened, Which promise to be inexhaustible. I myself saw and have specimens of an excellent quality of printing paper, made from the cane brake founi on the banks of the great rivers there, _under a very simpl e p rocess. Should the plan be carried out, there will be no scaicity of material in America' The short supply felt in Elgland has been made still Be:sides taking this supply, the Americans shorter by the large export of raga to the United States.r bu e y o u r !) f the their own consumption material we cannot of our same purpose, from sheer want of knowle dg e. rovement till there is new blood in the trade, Irledaital business.
