It is the appropriate consequence of our negotiations. Moldavia and Wallachia may hence forth be regarded as provinces tributary to the Autocratic Government of St.. Petersburg. Let them be evacuated to -morrow' by the soldiers under Prince GORTZCHAKOFF, and the Hospodars must still continue to regard the Czar., and not the SULTAN, as their liege Suzerain. Hereafter the Pruth can no longer be considered the boundary line of the Turkish dominions. The Ottoman Empire has so far collapsed under the weight of Northern aggression, but still more under the pressure of Western assistance, that its frontiers have shrunk nominally to the current of the Danube, but virtually to the range of the Balkan mountains. Whatever may be said to the con trary, such is, in truth, the result of our protec tive interference. While in London, in Paris, in Berlin, and, iu Vienna, the Ministerial quid/tom cs have been counting upon the certainty of a satis factory settlement—while the British, French, Prussian, and Austrian Represeetatives have been mysteriously conferring within easy distance of the Imperial Schoennbrunn—while the cfficers of the combined fleets haVe been idly complimenting each other in Besika Bay—Russia has literally stolen a march upon her antagonists, and has so far triumphed over their vaunted astuteness in diplomacy, that she is prepared to tempt the hazards of battle or of treaty (it scarcely matters which under present circumstances) with her foes at a disadvantage. The Emperor NICHOLAS has never once, throughout the whole of these extra ordinary proceedings, trilled for an instant with his position, or thrown away even the most mo mentary opportunities. England has amused herself with a mock camp at Chobham, and France with a sham fight at Satory—but Russia has, meanwhile, been seriously concentratinc, her energies upon the seizure of Jassy and Bucharest, and upon the occupation by her armies of the two surrounding principalities. Our neighbours have entertained their Sovereign with maritime displays at Dieppe, and we ours with a mimic naval battle off Spithead—but the Russians, meantime, have consulted the interests of their, supreme ruler, rather more wisely, by the accumulation of vast stores at Odessa, and of enormous supplies of warlike implements and ammunition in the re doubtable dockyards of Sebastopol. Everywhere throughout these transactions, from first to last, may be recognised the same frivolity [let us call things by their right names], the same frivolity on the part of the allies of Turkey and the same sober reaolutiou on the part of her colossal assailant. Examine the cou rse and you `gill by th e A UTOCRAT diplomatically, very outset find that it has b een marked from the p to the Grantedin stantdetermination. by consistency that it began with an odious display be acknowledgedduplicity. sinc then to we have observed, to have been distinguished, Cons istencY and the by the most uncompromising most unflinching determination. If the Original Note presented to the Divan !:.3 , Prin ce w itxscui. KOFF failed in extorting the obedient com p li ance of the Porte with the wishes of the CZAR ----the Note was followed by the Seised with the utmost promptitude. If the Sened in its turn failed no less egregiously, it was succeeded with equal ra-• pidity by. the ultimatum—and that ultimatum on its rejection was as speedily replaced by the yet more insolent and peremptory ititinvitissimum• Directly the fourth 'requisition from St. Peters burg was repelled by the Ministers of the Otto man Power at Constantinople—the CZAR boldly, "let slip the dogs of war" without further parley, dispatched large military forces across the Pruth, collected together his laud resources at Odessa, and his sea resources at Sebastopol, secured the immediate submission of the Moldavian and Wal lachian Hospodars, and formally took possession of the Danubian Principalities. In all this, as . before intimated, there has been apparent on the part of Russia both consistency and determination. That consistency and that determination have not been -abandoned by the AUTOCRAT at the eleventh how. by his acceptance of the Note forwarded in the name of the Four Powers from. Vienna to FA.P6tevshurg. On the contrary. The Government of the CZAR has, by that r el itself tc.,echng more than by any other, pr ov consistent and deter m i ne d. It has accepted th e Vienna N because th a t N o t e assures to Russia more than her of haughtyCon stanti- Chieftai n ever demanded from th e Councils nople. Of th: fact th e very manner of tl Vienna Note's `acceptance at S t. Petersburg fulre n i shes, us with the clearest attestation. Had that partial or conditional acceptance been W e m ight have found r e a f 3 an 'to Conjecture W:4o . tlicT C z had not roally COL3,a2tA to 50r.:4 , 44y, iii a a;,0041,_ promise. Such was not the case however. The circumstance is already notorious. The accept ance of the Note by Russia was instant and un conditional. An occurrence rather significant, we take it, particularly when coupled with the ad ' mission that from Constantinople, and not from I St. Petersburgh, came the demand for certain modifications. No ! Again, and yet again, and yet again we assert that the execrable policy of the AUTOCRAT towards Turkey possesses, at any rate, the merits of severe consistency and serene determination. Whatever our abhorrence of that arrogant, lawless, and aggressive policy—it must be admitted that so far as its .candour, its sym metry (so to speak), and its resolution are con cerned, it extorts even from its enemies an un willing admiration. Turkey, in fact, has less reason to look with surprise upon her assailants than upon her so-called defenders. The former, at least, are out-spoken, while the latter are reserved in their language, and treacherous in their acts. The present moment is not the time, we conceive, in which to They gl haveose over the conduct of our Administrators. too deplorably compromised the honouranddignit i. dignity of Great Britain by their shuffling and pusivan employing g os i e- n it com of pl o i u m r m en e ts and sugary therto we have been accus tomed to speak of Russia as enacting the part of a bully towards the Turkish Government. Re& c tion compels us to hesitate as to the appropriate ness of the designation —now that events have enabled us to compare the conduct of Russia with the conduct of her four opponents. If the AUTO CRAT has assumed an insolent bearing towards the Sublime Porte, he has at any rate enforced the insolence of his demands by the daring of his subsequent proceedings. He has followed up the haughty words of MENSCHIKOFF by the audacious deeds of GORTZCHAKOFF. He has signalised the rejection of the Note, the Sened, the ultimatum, and the ultimatissimum, by the passage of his troops across the Pruth, and the formal occupa tion of the Danubian Principalities. Whereas with the Four Powers, it has been otherwise— altogether and diametrically. At the outset— Who so loud in promises of support to. Turkey, and of opposition to the Russian troops and the Russian Government ? Yet, in what now have all those noisy promises terminated ? Why, in the most disgraceful, in the mcst paltry, and in the most pusillanimous of compromises ! Of com promises, say we ? Nay, rather of avowed and exaggerated concessions ! Is it not the case ? Answer it—the acceptance of the Vienna Note by Russia, immediately and unconditionally ! An swer it—the rejection of that same Note by Tur key, respectfully, but positively, and unmistake ably ! Answer it—the Note itself—that Note in which the CZAR is truckled to, and the SULTAN abandoned ! Whoever at this juncture is the bully—it is certainly not the Russian AUTOCRAT. For it can scarcely be called bullying, to follow up the words of Prince MENSCHIKOFF by the acts of Prince GORTZCHAKOFF. It can scarcely he termed mere bullying—the extortion from the Four Powers of more than was ever demanded from the Turkish Government, its extortion by a bold front, and a resolute bearing in the continued military occupation of the Danubian Principalities. Unhappily, on the other hand, it would be by no means difficult to define the policy of the Four Powers, by an epithet in no way eulogistic of their energy, wisdom, consistency, or determina tion. That policy was announced to be one resolutely de fen si ve of the SULTAN'S authority, of his rights, and of his independence. It commenced with the declara-' tion that the Four Powers would, at all hazard, withstand the ambition of the Russian AUTOCRAT. It has terminated with the concession to that po tentate of more than his ambition had originally attempted to wring from the fancied weakness of the Turkish Government. In what manner, Ivo ask, can a policy of this vacillating, not to say truckling and pusillanimous character- be nt correctly designated? The Vienna rote is so melancholy an anti-climax to the appearance of the combined fleets of France and England in Besika Bay, that we may readily conjecture the light in which the conduct of the Allies is re garded at Constantinople. Notwithstanding the odium attached to the various members of the Coalition Cabinet indis criminately, in consequence of these proceedings, we are, nevertheless, satisfied that the principal if not the exclusive, blame appertains by right to one individual —one, unfortunately, placed by circumstances at the head of her MAJESTY'S Go vernment. Implicated, of course, Lord PAL MERSTON is necessarily in these lamentable trans actions. Yet the peculiarity of his official posi tion as Home Secretary relieves him for the nonce of a considerable share of responsibility. Implicated yet more by his installation as Chief of the Foreign Department, the Earl of CLARENDON must be viewed as exonerated in like manner from much of the discredit drawn down upon the Ministry by these disgraceful negotiations. For the onus devolves obviously at this crisis upon the Premier—the statesman whose memory must henceforth be associated with a diplomatic com promise productive to Russia of triumph, to Turkey of defeat, to Europe of danger, to Eng land of the infa m y and _ignominy, resulting from a great national degradation. The turning up of a leading politician of any party during the dull piping times of political peace is regarded as a prize of no ordinary value, not merely by the fortunate provincials by whom the capture has been effected in the first instance, but even by the community in general. The " sayings and doings" of second or even third-rate men are seized on with avidity, and chronicled as matters of interest for general edification. We cannot feel greatly surprised at this attention to such minute affairs when we find the Leviathan devoting one or more columns daily to the pub lication of hotel bills, accompanied by the notes and comments of querulous and disconcerted tra vellers. If, then, the proceedings ,of inferior men are so eagerly sought after, the seizure of a Ca binet Minister—an ex-First Lord of the Trea sury ex-Home Secretary ex-Colonial Se cretary—ex-Foreign Secretary, and actual Mi nisterial Leader in the representative branch of the Legislature, must be regarded as a real god send—one that will serve for a time to dispel the existing gloom, and to cast a ray of light through the surrounding darkness. The doubtful state of the Fa -stern question, and - the knowledge that Lord JOHN RUSSELL had recently been called from his peaceful retirement to confer on the all important subject with Lords ABERDEEN, CLAREN DON, and PALMERSTON, and that the noble quartett had to decide matters of such grave sig nvifiroevaotisotn, t k hathey could not oven be whispered too theimtitled ears, naturally increased the interest t highest pitch of intensity, and rendered the ofofuGrtrheeelista°c Magistrates, and Councillors of the town state ' th w e h h os e e ro p e r s o f e o e r ed t in he gs ti w m i e ll b b e e in g rec o o f rd t e h d e in every daily and j - i e lod eld ." y journal, and " wafted on the Wing s y , f an ot d rd and breadth of thehel Press throughout the length It is due to . his fate f ß at u e s w n" he that it was inevitable with becoming i t nh o ge s fp ta oer t r e tei , teui t v h de a ed t , he resigned himself to Y subraiiltt:tedvatgonaellaundde t a o n c h i s th p a u t st h c e on e d v u e c n t and ae f e u f L i ire intentions in terms energetic to create which, though,. toe sufficiently a e c et upon un his auditory, He a ge v n e e ry ral i , n w sp e i r ri e t s in tr g ll eulogised, in the strongest terms, the proceedings of the Reformed Parliament since the enactment of the modern Magna Charta, so much so, i ndeed, that it might at one time have been supposed th at hooriL,ei had degenerated but he, ted into at thethean s mere e t e, art da tor te p guardedly se alluded ntat io n t o . the H extension s of th a t the e , p , perhaps,ceouultn,trypit rinciple would o fberedpirflie tsoofimndanaytimmeeasiuurtesheolfiisitmorpyoortfaanncye when have been obtained without convulsion and without revolution, as have been obtained and established in this country since 1833 ;" but he at the same time acknowledges that " there still remains much for tho consideration, not only of all States men, but of all men who are lovers of humanity, Ot.juatioe, -au& who layo - a - reggrd - for the welfare cf their countrymen ;" and, after gzac , afullY aP plying the well-known line of the poet, respecting the traveller in a mountain district, who sees " Hills rise on hills, and Alps on Alps arise," to the condition of the Legislature who will always have something " to discuss, to arrange, to establish," he touches on some of the many questions which must ere long come under the showing th e dim consideration of Parliament. He speaks of educa tionalcuities and that sanitaryobstrue obstruct theea s u r es, accomplishment o f a ll we could desire respecting the intellectual and physical development of the people—indicating that the very freedon on which we so greatly pride ourselves, which is the noblest boast of Britons, and the jealousy of Government interfe rence, constitute some of the greatest impediments to the realisation of our wishes. But the most interesting portion of his oration —that which deservedly elicited the most enthu siastic and rapturous applause from the delighted audience, and which is certainly of paramount weight at the present moment--refors, if not by name, yet very distinctly to the state of the Turco- Russia difficulty. On this subject we shall be excused for repeating the ipsissima verba of the Noble Lord. After alluding to the questions of internal legislation upon which he had declared that further measures ought to be adopted, he says "It is also to be considered, and I trust we shall none of us forget, that this country holds an important posi tion among the nations of the world. It is not once but many times she has stood forward to resist oppres sion, to maintain the indepeudence of weaker nations, to preserve to the general family of nations that freedom, that power of governing themselves of which others have sought to deprive them. I trust that character will not be forgotten, will not be abandoned by a nation which is now stronger in means, which is more popu lous, more wealthy than she has been at any former period. This, then, you will agree with me, is not a period to abandon any of those duties towards the world, towards the whole of mankind, which Great Britain has hitherto performed. Let us perform them, if possible, by our moral influence—let us perform them, if possible, while we maintain the inestimable blessings of peace ; but while we endeavour to maintain peace, I certainly should be the last to forget that if that peace cannot be maintained with honour it is no longer peace ; it becomes then but a truce, a precarious truce, to be denounced by others whenever they may think fit—whenever they think an opportunity has occurred to enforce by arms their unjust demands either upon us or upon our allies. I trust, gentlemen, that so long as I can bear any part in the public councils of this kingdom, such will be my sentiments, and such will be my conduct." These, as FLUELLAN remarks, are " prave orts," and, if accompanied by corresponding actions, will do much to redeem the character of the Coalition. They clearly indicate the course which the Noble Lord is prepared to advocate with all his powers, and which he would be for ever disgraced if he now, or at any time hereafter, abandoned. The emphatic declaration that "peace without honour is no longer peace—that it is then but a truce, a precarious truce, to be denounced by others when ever they may think fit, whenever they think an opportunity has occurred to enforce by arms their unjust demands either upon us or upon our allies," cannot be obliterated from our memories; and Lord JOHN RUSSELL, by using them so emphatically, has bound himself isr ample recognisances to protect the integrity of the Ottoman empire, and to prevent the unjust aggressions of the Northern Despot. He has solemnly pledged himself in the face of the country to maintain the honour and dignity of the British nation—to continue the chivalrous course which prompted our ancestors to defend the weaker party against the usurpations of powerful adversa ries—to show to the world that we are not the de generate offspring of men whose actions acquired a high character for themselves and a proud posi tion in the scale of nations for their father-land. If these pledges be fully and fairly redeemed, we shall forgive and forget past grievances; if violated, they will heap additional condemnation, not only on Lord JOHN RUSSELL, but on all his colleagues of the Joint-Sto3k Administration. .c. 4 . , THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 21, 1853. COURT CIRCULAR. BALMORAL. SEPT. 18. Her Majesty and Prince Albert dined yesterday at Abergeldie with the Duchess of Kent. A deputation from the Commissioners of Customs, consisting of the Right Ron. G. R. Dawson, Vice- Chairman of Customs ; Dr. M‘Willtam, Medical In spector of Customs ; and Mr. William Smart, Inspector of the River ; attended the General Board of Health yesterday, at their offices, Whitehall, upon an invitation for a conference on the means of protection practicable to be given to crews and passengers on any outbreak of epidemics in the ports. SHERIFF'S COURT, LONDON.—The following days have been appointed by the Court of Common Council for holding courts :—September 27, 28, 29, 30 ; October 1, 3,4, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 31 ; November 1,3, 4,5, 10, 11, 12, 17, 18, 19. GOLD FROM AUSTRALIA.—The accounts from Ade laide (South Australia) of the 6th of July state that the Charlotte Jane had sailed for London on the 2d, with 34,000 oz. of gold, valued at 137,6001. The Madagas car had arrived at Melbourne in 88 days. SPANISH AMERICAN BONDS. —The committee of Spanish American bondholders have forwarded copies •of correspondence regarding the debt of Venezuela. Mr. Weiss, their agent, addressed the Finance Minister on the let of August, pointing out the infamous posi tion in which the country is now placed by the avowed disregard which the Government intend to treat their foreign creditors. In reply, the Minister said that the letter could not be received, as its expressions were " too strong." Mr. Weiss then represented to the British Consul that, as the Government had thus re fused to treat with him, he must appeal for his (the Consul's) aid to make the necessary remonstrances. A .TOUR OF EUROPE.—Tlicre is now exhibited at the Living Marionette Theatre, Leicester-square,. a very beautiful and instructive panorama, under this title. It is on a very gigantic scale, containing upwards of 30,000 square feet of canvas, and is by Mr. J. R. Smith, an American artist, from sketches taken by himself on the spot. The views embrace all the principal European cities, as well as those picturesque scenes and objects o interest which attract the attention of travellers in this quarter of the globe. The whole are tastefully and skilfully painted, and there is just sufficient variety in the colouring and style to divest the pictures of same ness. Those which struck us as particularly excellent were the views of Paris, Brussels, Berlin, Rome, Flo rence, and Naples ; and we think M r . Smith has reached the highest flights of panoramic art in his representa tions of the Rhine and Switzerland. As the panorama moves along it is accompanied by music and by brief explanations, by a lecturer, of the various places delineated. We cordially recommend the exhibition as one most deserving of the public support. PROVINCIAL THEATRICALS.—Theatres in the provinces seem to be enjoying a season of great success, and the different lessees have no cause to regret the expense incurred in arriving at "a consummation devoutly to be wished." At Manchester, Mr. Knowles has reaped a goodly harvest by the engagement of Mr. C. Mathews ; Miss P. Horton is now the star, coupled with a brilliant ballet company, under the direction of Mr. A. Harris. At Worthing Mr. and Mrs. H. Vezin have been attract ing crowded houses by their spirited representation of the creations of the immortal " Will"—the audience ap preciating highly the masterly and able performance of this gentleman and his talented lady. The pretty little theatre at Gravesend, under the able direction of Mrs. H. Ruddall, has also come in for its share of success, and most deservedly so, for no expense has been spared to make it one of the most attractive places of resort for the thousands who yearly dock to this favourite place of the Londoner. _ _ - MADAME TIISSAUD'S EXHIBITION.—Durivg the early part of last week, her Majesty Queen Christina, accom panied by a party of sixteen, honoured the well-known Exhibition of Messrs. Tussaud's with a visit. Her Majesty expressed her gratification at the admirable arrangements displayed in the museum, as well as the artistic skill exhibited in the formation of the numerous groups. The Russian Ambassador, Baron Brunnow, also visited the exhibition, attended by a large and fashionable party. PROPOSED WELLINGTON MEMORIAL IN LIVERPOOL. —Yesterday afternoon a public meeting was held at the Sessions-house, Liverpool, in reference to the pro posed memorial to the Duke of Wellington. It ap peared from a statement made by the Mayor, that the Memorial Committee had decided to recommend the erection of a column in a suitable part of the town, surmounted by a statue of the illustrious Duke, the cost of which was estimated at 10,0001. Of this sum only 5,0001. had been subscribed, and the object for which the meeting teas held was to adopt further measures for the purpose of obtaining the remainder. The meeting w a ali on a d edressed by Mr. W. Brown, M.P., and other gen tlemen, and certain resolutions calculated to attain the conclusion. desired end were proposed and carried. fro GUATEMALA.—Mercantile letters of the Ist of August, fir as the townancuneda'l r w er a a, th of e ntGuatemala (Central America) state, that the war between ura t s h s a e t eTi S ni t le a ed t ll e .aont virtuallyidd u t r h a s e itao adjoining e beene p n et Neatent brought o republic ugihnte vtoe every action and pursued orders for a suspension into the interior of their country, as President d L en l a t n o o f s, G which, uatem being ala, iiad found giv e : I General C• • s saeked.

The cotton market at Liverpool yesterday closed heavily. The sales amounted to 4,000 bales, in cluding 3,500 American, 600 of which were for export, and 200 Egyptian at 6d. t o Bd. per lb. The railway market opened flatly, but improved subsequently. This morning the corn market is very firm, al though buyers are not operating largely. The tallow market has advanced 6d. to 9d. per cwt. this morning, in consequence of the Russo- Turkish news. The probable extent of corn importation during the present year is exciting much curiosity as well as comment, and it seems difficult to arrive at a conclusion that will satisfy all parties. On the one hand, the most exaggerated calculations have been made, and on the other, there is not a due appre ciation of our wants. Even in the y e a r 1847, w h en we undoubtedly required an unusu a lly l arge su pply to cover the deficit in our home cultivation, the importation was not above one-third of what some parties are predicting now. According to last night's Gazette, nearly one million of quarters of wheat were imported during the month ending the sth inst. into the whole of the United Kingdom, and about 381,000 cwt. of flour. The whole of this was immediately cleared for home consumption, and there were at the date just named, only . 637 quarters of wheat, and 7 cwt. of flour. Pre viously, 1,800,000 qu ar t e r s of w h ea t, and 2,800,000 of flou r were i n t ro d uce d. Thi s, therefore, gives the total fo r th e p resen t y ear up t o cwt. the sth inst. It has bee n j us tl y remar k e d , th a t a fair importation of grain has a great effect upon prices, and hence, should we once conquer the de mand, or in other words , get an excess o f supp l y th ere would be a decline in prices. In our own view, such a decline would be undesirable if there was the slightest risk of our not. receiving in conse quence an adequate quantity to cause cheapness, and as the winter is always a time of trial, we should prefer a large introduction of course, even at some sacrifice, provided there was a subsequent moderate range of prices. A great deal of exag geration is usually indulged in with regard to the possibility of procuring ships for the con veyance of food, but just now. there unques tionably are some novel difficulties. Ships can much more readily obtain freight than for many years past, and the chief point to which we may look for relief, is, that our Foreign and Colo nial trade will be getting slacker, and, conse quently, there will be more vessels disengaged. Last week duty was paid upon about 84,000 qrs. of wheat, 61,000 qrs. of oats, and 64,000 cwt. of flour. . The very serio us c h arac t er o f the political intel ligence received this morning has occasioned much disappointment, and its effect upon the funds is chronicled below. The Russian answer to the modified proposals of Turkey shows clearly a: reliance upon the allied Powers in the way of coercive action upon Turkey, for Count Nes selrode distinctly mentions, if the French text be correct, that he has no doubt the Powers which have taken so much trouble in the mat ter, will insist upon the Sultan agreeing. Whether, upon finding his mistake, he will recede from his opposition is considered improbable. An other circumstance which excites much uneasiness is the assertion that Austria has forwarded instruc tions to Constantinople to the purport that, if the Ottoman Porte does not accept the Vienna note, it will withdraw from the alliance with the other Powers. This might be intended to intimidate Turkey ; for, whatever may be said to the contrary, Austria is more mterested in the preservation of peace than the other Powers that have taken up the mediation. It is feared that this altered phase of affairs may cause additional stringency in the money market, and perhaps ac celerate an enhancement in the Bank of England rate of discount, especially as the Foreign Ex changes yesterday afternoon were generally lower, and there are arrangements in progress for export ing further large amounts of bullion both to the Continent and China. The market for English Stocks has been very weak, in consequence of the intelligence above re ferred to, and would probably have gone worse but for the belief still expressed that there may be a pacific arrangement, and that England and France may counsel the acceptance of the Vienna note. Consols have been 94 to 95A for Transfer and 95 to for Account. Exchequer Bills are 3s. to Bs. dis count, and India Bonds par to ss. premium. South Sea Stock has been at 1141. A fair business is doing in foreign securities. Mexican Bonds are 2g- to 25k, and Peruvian been done at 78. Buenos Ayres Stock is 63A.

The Railway Share Market has been about per cent. lower for the English undertakings with more numerous sales. French Shares are not so good as they opened ; Strasbourg having been then at 15s. better, and now only ss. above yesterday's values. Gold Mine. Shares are duller, Australian Banks firm, and Land Companies' weak. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY. , ( From the Official List.) Business done. 3 per Cent.

After the trial was over, and the prosecutor having obtained his money, he went on the drink, and in the course of the evening made his way into Oxford-street, followed, no doubt, by some of the wide-awake characters, who are usually to be found in the vicinity of police-courts and sessions-houses during the time of business, and having enticed their victim into a public-house they made him drunk, and under the pretence of making his money safe, he allowed them to take it out of his pocket-book, and wrap it up in paper, which they appeared to do. They then placed it in his fob, and, wishing him good night, walked off with their booty. About an hour afterwards Hollis discovered his loss, and, almost in a state of madness, rushed to the station-house and acquainted the police of the circum stance. No trace has as yet been discovered to lead to a knowledge of the thieves. THE MAILS.—The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's steam-ship Ripon, Captain R. Moresby, 1.N., took her departure yesterday afternoon for Gibraltar, Malta, and Alexandria, with the usual semi-monthly mails for the Mediterranean, Egypt, India, China, and the Eastern Archipelago. Besides a full general cargo, the Ripon takes out an immense freight of specie, comprising 1,570 packages, of the total value of 429,0701. sterling. The number of passengers by this steamer is 130, among whom is the Hon. Major Gene ral Anson (late chairman of the London and North- Western Railway Company), who proceeds to India to assume the Command-in-Chief of the Bengal Presi dency ; also the Hon. Captain Grey, R.N., for Gibraltar ; Lieutenant Smart, for Hong-Kong ; Lady Buchanan, Captains Pownall and Wright, and Lieu tenants Lyon and Connolly, for Malta. A portion of the surveying and engineering staff of the Bombay, Baroda, and Central India Railway likewise goes out by the Ripon, comprising Messrs. Kennedy, Taylor, Sim monde, Galland, Rumble, Jacob, Carey, Galway, and Shephern. The remaining members proceed to India by the packet of the 4th of October, and the party will immediately on arrival commence surveying the pro posed line, pursuant to an agreement for its con struction with the East Inia Company. The Euxine, with the heavy portion of the East India, China, and Mediterranean niails (the overland express in anticipation of which reached London on Mon day), is expected to reach Southampton on Saturday or Sunday next. The Madrid, with mails from Vigo, Oporto, Lisbon, Cadiz, and Gibraltar, is also due on the 24th inst. The United States' mail steamship Her mann, Lieutenant Higgins, U.S.N., Commander, with dates from New York to the 10th inst., is expected to arrive off Cowes, en route to Bremen, on Friday next. The Royal mail steam-ship Solent, Captain Jellico, is appointed to take out the West India and Gulf of , Mexico mails on the 2d proximo. The Ca milla, a I steamer belonging to the West India Mail Company, intended for the Rio Janeiro, Montevideo, and Buenos 1 Ayres mail service, went out on a. trial trip yesterday, and attained a very satisfactory speed at the measured mile in Stokes-bay. LATEST FOREIGN NEWS. FRANCE. It is said that' whatever may be the issue of the present Eastern question, it is here pretty gene rally understood that the Emperor Louis Napoleon will not go to war. He is reported to have ex pressed himself to that effect very recently. The particular reasons for that resolution are the defi ciency of the harvest, the probability of the invasion of France by an enemy (which is not to be despised or disregarded), the cholera, and the amount of paper now in the market in consequence of the numerous speculations to which a certain degree of prosperity has given rise. All these ohjects are with him of first-rate interest, and demand the almost exclusive attention and care of the Govern ment. Tho Moniteur announces the termination of the ad interim administration of the Ministry of the Interior by M. Abbatucci, the Minister of Justice, and the resumption of his functions by M. de Per signy. The Itioniteur publishes the returns of the re ceipts of the Customs duties and Indirect taxes for last month, which amount to 12,368,937 f., being an increase of 451,545 fr. over the corresponding period of 1852, and of 1,113,709 fr. over that of 1851. The total receipts for the first eight months of the present year amount to 90,613,579 fr., being a decrease of 1,295,195 fr. as compared with the corresponding period of 1852, and an increase of 14,207,251 fr. over 1851. The news of the harvest in Brittany is favour able. The Brest paper, l' Armoricain, states that the fall in the price of corn has made considerable progress in the course of the last eight days. The Prefect of the Haute Vienne has suspended the mairs of St. Brabant for promulgating a decree prohibiting the export of corn from his district. The papers announce the death of General Voirol, who was Governor of Strasburg in 1836, when Louis Napoleon landed in that town. The intelligence received up to Monday night of the state of the passengers who were injured in the late accident on the Orleans to Bordeaux Railway, declares that no further death has taken place ; all going on favourably. Accounts which have reached the Minister of Ma rine from the Islands of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon announce that the anniversary of the fete of the Emperor on the 15th was celebrated with the greatest éclat. The Commandant of the colony con cludes his dispatch to the Minister with these words—" Of all the national fetes which have been celebrated here for the last thirty years no one has caused such a deep impression on the public mind as that of St. Napoleon this year." The Bourse opened firm yesterday, with the ap pearance of a further rise in the price of public se curities, but the announcement by submarine tele graph that Consols had declined, and that-flour had risen in London, produced a re-action, and the Three per .Cents., which opened at 77f. 35c., fell to 77f. 5c., and closed at 77f. 10c. for the end of the month. The Four-and-a-Half per Cents. closed at 101 f. 750. ; Orleans Railway shares, 1,245 f. ; 'Rouen, 1,071 f. 25c. ; Havre, 520 f. ; Great North ern, 870 f. ; Paris and Strasburg, 935 f. ; Paris and Lyons, 925 f. ; Lyons to the Mediterranean, - 775f. ; Western of France, 745 f. ; Bordeaux and Cette, 617 f. 50c. ; Great Central, 530 f.: Shares of the Bank of Credit Mobiliere, 792 f. 50c. 'RUSSIA AND TURKEY. The following dispatch from Count Nesselrode to Baron Meyendorf, at Vienna, dated Petersburg, August 26th o.s. (September 7th N.s.), has just been published " We have just received, together with your Excel lency's reports of the 16.28 th of August, the alterations which the Ottoman Porte has made in the draft of a note drawn up at Vienna. "Count Buol will only require to recal to mind the expressions of our communication of the 25th of July to form a clear idea of the impression these alterations have made on his Majesty the Emperor. " When I, in His Majesty's name, accepted that draft of a note which Austria, after having previously pro cured it to be approved and accepted by the Courts of France and England, described to us as an ultimatum, that she intended to lay before the Porte, and on the ac ceptance of which the continuance of her friendly offices was to depend, I added in a dispatch which you, Baron, were instructed to communicate to the Austrian Cabi net, the following remarks and reservations : " consider it to be superfluous to remark to your Excellency that, whilst we, in a spirit of conciliation, accept the proposal of accommodation agreed to at Vienna, and of sending a Turkish Ambassador, we as sume that we shall not have still further changes and fresh propositions to examine and to discuss, which may happen to be contrived at Constantinoople under the warlike inspiration which seems at_ present to influence the Sultan and the majority of his Ministers ; and that, should the Ottoman Government also reject this last ar rangement we should no longer hold ourselves by the consent which we now give to it.' " Expressions so precise as these could leave the Austrian Government no doubt as to our present de cisions. " I will not at the present moment enter into the alteration of the wording which have been made at Constantinople. 1 have made them the subject of special remark in another dispatch. I will, for the moment, confine myself to asking whether the Em peror, after having for himself renounced the power to change even a word in that draft of a note, which was drawn up without his participation, can allow the Ottoman Porte alone to reserve to itself that power, and whether he can suffer Russia to be thus placed in an inferior position vis-ci-vis Turkey. We hold this to be inconsistent with the dignity of the Em peror. Let us recal the whole series of events, as they took place. In the place of the Menschikoff note, the ac ceptance of which without alteration we had stipulated as the condition of our resuming our relations with the Porte, a different note was proposed to us. On this ground alone we might have refused to take it into con sideration. And even after entering upon it we might have found occasion to raise more than one objection, to propose more than one alteration in the expressions. You know, Baron, that from the moment we consented to give up our ultimatum, no note of any form what ever was what we desired—that we should have pre ferred another plan, another form of agreement. We did not insist on this plan ; we have laid it entirely on one side. Why ? Because, as soon as we should have made counter propositions, we should have exposed our selves to the reproach of protracting matters, of inten tionally prolonging the crisis which is disquieting Europe. Instead of this, as we wished to put an end to the crisis as soon as possible, we sacrificed our objections both as regards the contents and the form. On the receipt of the first draft of a note, without wait ing to learn if it had been approved in London or in Paris, we notified our accession to it by telegraph. Subsequently the draft was forwarded to us in its final form, and although it had been altered in a direction which we could not misunderstand, we did not retract our consent, nor raise the smallest difficulty. Could greater readiness or a more conciliatory spirit be shown ? When we thus acted, we did so as a matter of course, on the condition that a draft which the Emperor ac cepted without discussion, should be accepted by the Porte in a similar manner. We did so under the convic tion that Austria looked on it as an ultimatum, in which nothing was to be changed, as the last effort of her friendly mediation, which should it fail in conse quence of the pertinacity of the Porte, would thereby of itself come to an end. We regret that it was not so. But the Vienna Cabinet will admit, that if we had not to do with an ultimatum, but with a new draft of a note, in which either of the parties concerned was at liberty to make changes, we should thereby recover the right of which we had our own accord deprived ourselves, of proposing variations on our part, of taking the pro posal of arrangement into consideration, and not only changing the expression, but also the form. "Could such a result be intended by Austria ? Could it be agreeable to the Powers, who, by altering and accepting her drafts, have made it their common work ? It is their affair to consider the delays which will result from this, or to inquire if it is for the interest of Europe to cut them short. We see only one single means of putting an end to them. It is for Austria and the Powers to declare to the Porte, frankly and firmly, that they, after having in vain opened up to it the only road that could lead to an immediate restoration of its relations with us, henceforth leave the task to itself alone. We believe that as soon as the Powers unanimously hold this language to the Porte, the Turks will yield to the advice of Europe, and, instead of reckoning on her assistance in a struggle with Russia, will accept the note in its present form, and cease to compromise their position so seriously for the childish satisfaction of having altered a few expres sion in a idocument which we had accepted without dis cussion. For of these two positions only one is pos sible ; either the alterations which the Porte requires are important, in which case it is very simple that we refuse to accede to them ; or they are unimportant, and then the question arises, why should the Porte unneces sarily make its acceptance dependent on them ? "To sum up succinctly what we have said : the ultimatum dra-wn up at Vienna is not ours. It is the work of Austi is and the Powers, who, after having first of all agreed to it, then discussed it, and altered its original text, have recognised it as such as the Porte could accept, without; its intents or its honour being com promised. We on our part have done every thing that depended (Ton us to shorten unnecessary delays, inasmuch as w hen the arrangements was laid before us we renounced all counter-propositions. No one will refuse to bear this testimony to the loyaute of the Emperor. After Our having long exhausted the mea sure of concessions, without the Porte's having as yet made a single one, his Majesty can go no further with out compromising his own standing, and without expo sing himself to a resumption of his relations with Turkey under unfavourable auspices, which would deprive them for the future of all stability, and must inevitably produce a fresh and signal breach. Even now, fur ther concessions with regard to the expressions of the note would be of no use, for we see by your dis patch that the Ottoman Government is only waiting for our consent to the alterations made in the Vienna note to make its signature, as well as its sending off an Ambassador• to convey the latter hither, dependent on fresh conditions, and that it has already made inadmis sible propasals with respect to the evacuation of the Principalities. As regards the latter point we can only refer to the assurances and declarations contained in our dispatch of the 10th of August, and repeat, that the arrival of the Turkish Ambassador, bearing the Austrian note without alterations, will suffice at St. Petersburg for the orders to be issued to our troops to retire over the frontier." The following is a translation of the Manifesto of the Porte which has recently appeared, omitting some Oriental amplifications : " After the occupation of Wallachia and Moldavia by the Russians, the Sublime Porte protested before the four Powers in conformity with its ancient custom. Some days before the departure of Prince Menschikoff from Constantinople, the Sublime Porte framed a note, which, in consequence of its not having been accepted by the Russian Ambassador, remained unexecuted. One of the terms of that note was the evacuation of the Principalities, after which an Ambassador was to re pair to St. Petersburg. The four Powers interfered, with the view of bringing the two parties in dispute to an amicable arrangement, and with that object they framed a note which was immediately communicated to them. That note was accepted by Russia in the same form in which it was drawn up, and we were informed of this by the telegraph from Vienna as far as Belgrade, and thence by an extraordinary courier. By that act the four great Powers gave proofs of their goodwill and their friendship for the maintenance of our integrity. The Vienna note, when examined with attention, showed some points which could not and which cannot be ad mitted either by his Majesty the Sultan, who desires to maintain the right of his ancestors in this grave question, or by his Ministers, who are bound by it. "For some months past the Government of his Ma jesty has made great preparations with the object of maintaining its solidity, and such being the case the note to which we have referred cannot be accepted ; and to resolve the pending question. it cannot accept other than the note modified by the Sublime Porte, and under the official guarantee of the Four Powers. It is to that point the sc,lution tends, and of this all its ambassadors have been informed. "On the same question we have received a letter from his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, to which we have replied after the same manner in which we now express ourselves. " Such is the actual state of the question, and as to the turn which it may take hereafter, intelligence of a more recent date will inform us. " Awaiting the results which may take place, the Sublime Porte will maintain the footing, with respect to its armaments, which it occupies at this moment— and such is the decision of all." A dispatch dated the 20th has arrived from Vienna. It states that '• the mediating Power does not adhere fully to the proposition of the two Western Powers, which give guarantees to the Porte against the future action of Russia between the Porte and its subjects. Count Buol does not think that the projet de note of M. Drouyn de Lhuys is pressing enough in the sense of accep tation. Energetic instructions have been sent to M. Bruck. Circumstances no longer admit of col lective action. Each Power may give assurances .; especially the acceptation by the Porte must be in sisted upon." News from Constantinople, Sept. 7, says : " The position of affairs remains unchanged. 15,000 troops from Egypt have been shipped off to Varna, whence they will proceed to Shumla. The Turks are still full of enthusiasm." The following paragraph appears in the Constan tinople news of the sth in the Gazette du Midi : " The Russian subjects and the protégés of that na tion who have remained at Constantinople, have carried on such a propaganda against the Turkish government either verbally or by the publication of pamphlets, that Reschid Pacha, th e Minister of Foreign Affairs, was compelled to request the Rus sian Consul General to warn his countrymen and to put an end to their blameable conduct." The Smyrna journal of the 2d, says that " seve ral arrests have been made within the last few days of persons suspected of being in connivance with the brigands in our neighbourhood. Their inter rogatories have furnished the police with fresh in formation, which it is hoped will enable them to restore public security. The most important ar rest, however, is that of the notorious Andriko, whom the authorities have been in vain endeavour ing to lay hold of for more than two years. As the companion of Yanni Kattergi there is not a robbery, an assassination, or an act of cruelty, in which this wretch has not taken a part. Since the arrest of Andriko several other persons had been taken into custody, and are all kept in close and solitary confinement. The Pacha himself, incognito, arrested with his own band one young man whose revelations are very important. As a measure of public security, Ismail Pacha has ordered the clos ing of 120 coffee-houses, where the malefactors usually unite to concoct their schemes, and it is stated that several other public establishments are to be shut up." Several Turkish caricatures have appeared of late in Constantinople bearing hard upon England. In one of these the Emperor of Russia is represented as feloniously breaking into Buckingham Palace, Prince Albert rushes to defend his house and family, but Lord Aberdeen holds him back, declar ing the outrage not to be a calms belli. The Eng lish names for the vessels of war, &c., are, by a slight change, made to express the Turkish for any thing but what is respectful. Of course these can ricatures are not allowed to be publicly exposed. A letter from Tenedos, of the Bth, states that the Commander of the Bellerophon had established an hospital on the side of Mount St. Elie, for the seamen who had suffered from fever at Besica Bay. Accounts from the Black Sea of the 3d announce that the first stone of a Greek church had been laid with great solemnity at Ismail. The erection of this church was authorised by an ukase of the Emperor, and it is to be built at the expense of the officers of the army of occupation. The ceremony gave rise to an exhibition of extreme religious fanaticism. AUSTRIA. Amongst the passengers who arrived at Stettin, by the last steamer from St. Petersburgh, was the Duke de Broglie. Count Guyon, aide-de-camp of the Emperor of the French, Colonel de Chanalleilles, and Com mandants Henri de Gillers, arrived a t Dresden on their way to the camp of Olmutz. The next day they were to visit the fortress of Kcenigstein. The King of Prussia has just appointed Prince Frederick William son of the Prince of Prussia, to be major in the first regiment of the Guard. The young prince will, says the Constitutionnel, accom pany his father to Olmutz, and go from thence to Italy. _ . The Emperor of Austria arrived at Olmutz on the 16th, but was, it was said, to return to Vienna on the 20th, to be present at the arrival of the in signia of Hungary. _ _ The Boyd — of Vienna, of the 17th, states that Mr. Jackson, the American Minister, has arrived there with Mr. Davenport, the Secretary of Lega tion, for the purpose of arranging the dispute about Kosta. Mr. Jackson is, adds the Lloyd, to go to Olmutz to present his letters of credence to the Emperor of Austria. Baron de Meyendorff, the Russian Ambassador at Vienna, left that city on the 15th for Warsaw to wait the arrival of the Emperor of Russia. The English Ambassador, the Earl of Westmoreland, is to leave on the 23d for Olmutz, where he is to re main till the 27th. The Hereditary Grand Duke of Russia arrived in Moscow ten days ago. The Prince and Princess Frederick of the Netherlands have also arrived in that .ital. The decree of the 22d October, 1814, published in the German provinces of Austria, according to which every document written in the Hebrew lan guage was declared null and void, has just been extended to Hungary, Croatia, Sclavonia, Servia, and the Banat. ITALY. The Piedmontesc Gazette states from Bologna 12th, that Count Nobili, Austrian Civil and Mili tary Governor of that city, has been sent for by Marshal Radetzky. Prince Lichtenstein has ar rived from Florence to replace him. A letter from Bologna of the 13th, in the Ger man Journal of Frankfort, states that serious dis turbances have occurred at Terni and Narni, on account of the rise in the price of bread. Troops have been sent thither to maintain order. The Giornale di Roma, of the 12th, announces that on the preceding day but one, the Pope held a secret consistory in the Quirinal Palace, in which he proposed the bishops for eight episcopal sees, among which may be mentioned that of Guada loupe for Mgr. Forarde, Bishops of Samos in par tibus. The Sacred Pallium was applied for in favour of the Metropolitan ChurchofS by his San Fran cisco in. Upper California, lately instituted Highness. HOLLAND. The King of Holland has conferred the grand cross of the Order of the Lion of the Netherlands on the French Minister for Foreign Affairs, M. Drouin de Lhuys. His Majesty a few days ago visited the camp at Zeyst, and expressed himself pleased with the ap pearance and discipline of the troops. His Majesty afterwards proceeded to Utrecht, where he was re ceived with enthusiasm. SPAIN. The Heraldo says, that the resolutions with respect to M. Doral, ex-Minister of Marine, were taken unanimously by the Cabinet. M. Calderon de la Barca, Minister of Foreign Affairs, had arrived in the capital. A Cabinet Council was to be held, and the question of the convocation of the Cortes was to be discussed in it. The Minister !of Finance was busily engaged n drawing up the Budget of 1854 for presentation to the Cartes. The Three per Cents, were done` at 44 ; Three per Cents. at 24 ; the Debt of the first class at 10 3-16 ; and that of the second at 51. the NOW ATHENS. Athens letters of the 9th state that the agitatil i caused by the Turco-Russian quarrel had ceaseu 9 and that the Government had begun to take 1 13 _,e!" sures so far as the state of the finances will pel t ' to relieve the sufferings of the population ecca' sioned by the malady in the grapes, earthquake s ' fires (the cause of which was unknown) and other visitations. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Baron Martin and Justice Crompton.) 39, ATTEMPT TO RD E —Edw a r cl Butler, ' described as a lab ourer , was indicted for feloniousli casting and throwiog John Thomas into the River Thames, with intent to kill and murder him. The prisoner pleaded .‘ Nui% Guilty." Mr. Robinson appeared tor the prosecution, an dgr ' O'Brien defended the pr.i soner. Mr. Robinson, having opened the case to the jolt proceeded to call the folltowin:f evidence : „ge n t" John Thomas : lam he acting mare of the steamer, which carries pa s-engers acrd s the river to an fro at Woolwich, from the Eastern Counties Railog' On Saturday night, the 2,9 th of August, we had o liv e pleted our last trip for the day to the Essex side o f tb b. river, and, after all the passengers had landed, I °._ e served the prisoner loitering about the bows of too vessel. I said to him, " Now, then, if you please, ashore," but the prisoner did not make me any furtu i % answer than that he'd be d--d if he would ; he move off as he was requested. At this moment the captain of the vessel requested me to go aloft and tne k i her fast, and while I was stooping to pick up a oil by rope the prisoner came behind me, and,.lifting me uP the legs, he deliberately threw me overboard. Fortunatell however, in the fall . 1, caught hold of the outer rail! nor the vessel and escaped falling into the water, but tu e ir prisoner perceiving iroy situation, began striking,lt i hands and fingers, and I was compelled to call out low r for help. At length Mr. Allen, the captain of the ves: came to my assistance and I was dragged on bo again, but not before the' prisoner had resisted the tain, and threatened to serve him the same as he li served me. The tide was• tip at the time, running ff fast, and if I had droppeti I should have fallen ju tn twenty feet of water. k e t Cross-examined—The prisoner was not so driin the time as not to know what iie was about. I had n e n't seen him before this night, nor idid I know who or le , "' he was. the Captain Allen, the master of the vessel, confirmed evidence of the previous witness. upea Cross-examined—The prisoner appeared to have drinking, but he knew perfectly well what he was ab °P He was a total stranger to witness. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. O'Brien was proceeding to address the juri_A for the defence, but failed to make out the intent slier when he was interrupted by •A Mr. Baron Martin, who told the jury that if theft. not believe the intention of the prisoner was to 'lin o the prosecutor, they would have no alternative bu t acquit him on this indictment. The Jury, however, were not satisfied upon this P 01.114 and therefore Mr. O'Brien proceeded with his address upon its insisted that the intent was not made out. Mr. Baron Martin summed up, and. The Jury retired from the box, and, after a lengthenl consultation, returned into court with a verdict of 14° Guilty. The prisoner was detained for the purpose of being indicted for a common assault. THE MURDERER MOBBS.— Mr. Bodkin said there was a case in the calendar of a person named Mobh4 who was charged with murdering his wife. IsT°, °. • amination had taken place before a magistrate in „ sequence of the state of the prisoner himself, who " he seriously injured, but the witnesses examined before 0, coroner had been bound over to appear at these ease l °° he had now to apply on behalf of the Crown, w" their recognizances be respited until the next session* as the prisoner was not in a state to justify his hni li g tried now. Mr. Baron Martin— Is there any attorney a cting h er° on his behalf ? Mr. Bodkin—No, I am not aware of any. Mr. Baron Martin—Has any communication be en made to the prisoner himself about this application I . 0 Mr. Bodkin—No ; he is not in a fit state to roo t any. Mr. Baron Martin—But the man has a right to tried at these sessions if he likes. Mr. Bodkin—My lord, he is in the hospital quite °ll ., able to be moved, and no communication can with sa f e ty be made to him. Mr. Baron Martin—l apprehend some communicat ion ought to be made to him, because it he were brought UP now it might turn out to be my duty to discharge biol. Mr. Bodkin—My lord, it certainly is in the povte r , of the Crown, as the prosecutor, to bring him here, bn'' considering the dangerous situation in which he is in : s have determined not to do so. As for making a i tgr i t : munication to him, I must repeat, m y l or d , t h a t be i ° not in a condition to receive any. Mr. Baron Martin—Then the Court must have 1 affidavit from the medical attendant to that effect. apprehend there will then be no difficulty in grantiog this application. Mr. Bodkin, at a subsequent period of the dal, gee the legal advisers of the prison e r had consented to b" application. The trial was therefore ordered to be put off until "" next session.

Mr. Bodkin prosecuted. The prisoner pleaded guilty. ‘he Mr. Bodkin, on behalf of the compa n y, said that prisoner had got into th e b rea k carriage and turned °I, the break, and it must be ad m itt e d that he was d rl2 „ l lq when he got into the carriag e , and th a t m ost fortilee , %; the defendant's conduct was not att en ded with anY...in sious consequence, and if it had only been that the eu pany or their servants were subjected to inconvenienhe from the act, they should have b een sa tisfied with tab matters being adjudicated upon by a magistrates , it was otherwise, they wished it sent to a higher,J, bunal. The prisoner, however, having pleaded guLi' they wished to recommend him to mercy. wa s The Recorder said it seemed to him that there great neglect somewhere in allowing persons to get i°to a break carriage.
