Hilaire Antoine de Blasiis has the direction of the Police." It is again rumoured that private accounts have been received that Austria intends to attempt to occupy Piedmont as well as Naples. That Russia acquiesces in this arrangement, on an understand ing that Austria is to give every facility in her power to the hostile Views of Russia on . Turlcey, and that towards their accomplishment Russia had, as we have before stated, assembled so large a force as 120,000 men in Georgia, and had fitted out a powerful fleet in the Black Sea. . The in timation that this fleet was intended to pass the Dardanelles in aid of Austria is not, it is said, credited in Italy. It•was a mere ruse, to cover the real objects of Russia, 'as the present state. of Turkey holds out a strong temptation to'her to, attack the latter, unless the British Government . should make more' effectual remonstrances With . Russia than an' interchange 'of paper commitni cations by ordinary cOuriers.' If she does not immediately interpose, our .natiiraf and faithful Allies,. the Turks, will fall asacrifice to the ani bitiOn, of the Autocrat, .and enable the Court of • Russia . to realiie its favourite object Of . carrying the war, into the heart of Asia. , ' . has always been the ruling passion of that .

Italy and Turkey are .Placed by the unjustifiable conduct of Austria and Russia. The former, evidently, intending to possess herself, not only of the whole of the Pa pal dominions, but.ultimately of every other part of' Italy ; and the latter toannihilate the:Turk ish influence and power in Europe and Asia. We should always . recollect the conduct of Russia towards Great Britain since 1792, and that she posSesses not only.a . powerful naval force in the Black Sea, but that under recent treaties With the Kink Ofilre-NitheriatidS,, - it is, ,we believe, ad inittvd., that Site cam bring her fleets from the Bal . tic into the narrow, seas ; and WINTER them iu the Dutch. harbours.

A Correspondent, in reference to the sailing of the rriw ships Athol and Niemen, on a cruize, with a view to ascertain their respective merits, saps,— " Not long ago, a Noble Lord in the Upper House stated that the construction and equipment of English vessels have always been inferior to those of the enemy, and though a. peace may make the object less interesting, it is one that at all tones calls for the attention of this House."—This opinion is entertained also by many able andlistinguished Naval Officers, but it is, never theless, one to which I can never subscribe. I take leave to say, the inferiority of- construction in the English ships does not, in my opinion, exist, but that nine times out of ten, when this, conclusion is drawn, it is occasioned by stowage, trim, or standing of the masts, and in some instances by, all three. It is very possible that:two ships, of differeat construe tions, may ; on going to sea, sail-one very - much better than the other, and to the surprise of every body, the ship supposed to be of superior eonstruction, .prove the worst sailer. This, however, is no proof that 'the construction of the latter is not really superior. It is a circumstance that often happens, and which will generally occur, when the inferior construction hap pens to be immersed to her true-trim, and the superior has not her proper scat in the water: but give the latter her proper triM,' and superior construction will immediately show itself. And so it will happen with the Athol and Niemen, if of different construction, and so circumstanced. And even sup posing them to have been built from the same draught, to be both immersed to the same line, and the masts of both to correspond exactly, yet the extent of their qualities cannot be ascertained if their immersion is not to the line exactly fitted to their particular construction. And this may be. proved to de monstration."--(Hamplltire and Portsmouth. Telegraph.) THE OrtATomo.—There was a full attendance at Drury Lane Theatre last night. The enter tainments were diversified with good effect by a judicious intermixture and alternation of vocal and instrumental music. BOCESA'S harps, KIE9E WITTER'S violin, and NICHOLSON'S flute were no slight parts of the general entertainment. CANI- PoRLSE, Mrs. BELLCHAMIIER4, AMBRoGETTI, and the whole vocal corps were powerful aids to the whole. ENGLini OPtRA BAlyntli re sumed his Astronomical Lecture last night. We can confidently repeat the favourable report which we first gave of this sublime entertainment. The admirable construction of the Machinery, and the perspicuous elucidation by the Lecturer, are calculated to diffuse such knowledge of the Science as will not only impart temporary amuse ment, but lead the mind to reflections which may inspire sentiments of devotion towards the awful Being, whose- wisdom, power and benevolence are obvious throughout the whole of that stupen dous work, the Creation.- - The Lord Lieutenant of IRtLAND went in great state, on Friday last, to the Dublid Theatre, which was crowded and fashionable.

A JOCKEY OUTWITTED.—At the late Clie,•er fair a man bought a horse of a jockey for £3l . Soon after completing his purchase, a friend of the buyer discovered that the animal was blind. As the jockey was not one of the most respectable, and bad got the money, to go hack to him and appeal to his honour seemed to be a hopeless attempt. The purchaser therefore re sorted to stratagem. lie went to the jockey, and told him he had either paid him 432, or that ha had lost a£l note. The jockey insisted he had only received £3l, and after some alter 'cation laid down the money, saying, " Count it ; that is just as you paid me." The man counted it, found it right, and then said, " The horse you sold me is blind ; you may fetch him back again ; yon have your hOree and I have my money!" . so saying, he coolly pocketed the cash. _ _ On - Thursday night a man tin horseback alighted at the Red Lion Inn, in Warwick, requesting accommodation for the night, which he obtained. On the following morning, he ordered his horse to be sent to a smith's shop in the neighbourhood to b,c shod ; .and, in a short time afterwards, carried oil' his saddle, under pre tence of having it repaired ; instead of so (?oing, however, he went to the smith's shop, told him that he had paid the hostler at the Red Lion for shoeing, obtained his horse, and rode off, without returning to the inn, from whence (in addition to the non-payment of the -bill) he had carried off a tit ble-c I°ol..
