Gentleman the Member for Cam bridgeshire last night moved, on the House going into Committee of Ways and Means, the resolu- STONE could not be induced to repeat his oration. His honour was fully satisfied, and he reposed gracefully on the laurels which he had then acquired. He, however, held out a faint hope to his opponent. In accordance with a suggestion which fell from Mr. CAYLEY, he professed his willingness to " consider the question during the recess." The supporters of the resolution, who clearly saw that on a division they would be left in a considerable minority, eagerly grasped at the plank charitably thrown out for their relief, and floated off in the tabula in naufragio which so op portunely came to their assistance. The motion was accordingly negatived without a division for the present session. But what will be the result of the promised consideration ? That is the question. Will it accomplish the wishes and satisfy the sanguine anticipations of the claimants ? Will any scheme be devised, any means adopted, by which fanners may be enabled to consume the produce of their own lands on the spot, by which the inferior may be turned into barley, not worth malting, food for the stock, and the hearts of the sturdy labourers be cheered by their being authorised "to be drunk on the premises," without sa tisfying the demands of the tax-gatherer ? There can be no doubt that, if a plan could be devised to meet these objects—if the odious visits of the Exciseman could be dispensed with—it would have a very beneficial effect on the con dition of the agriculturists, their labourers, and stock. Speaking seriously, Mr. BALL is entitled to much credit for his suggestion. If he can establish its feasibility—if lie can show that it m ay be adopted without injury to the revenue, or without acting as a direct incentive to fraud, I he will entitle himself to the thanks and gratitude lof his rural brethren, and establish - his claim to he title of " the farmer's friend." A remarkable pamphlet* has recently been issued from the press, which must in due course of time act as destructively as a literary bomb shell to the Canterbury Association. It requires only a comparatively brief interval to elapse— time enough, as one may say, for the fusee to burn down to the socket—before we behold the explosion inevitable from a projectile formed out of materials so peculiarly detonative and combus tible. We have seldom witnessed an exposure more complete—more clearly established—more unanswerably demonstrated. Already it may be declared that to all intents and purposes the bubble has burst—this bubble of the Canterbury Settlement. Fortunately, the credulity of those who listened to the syreu-songs of its projec- tors, though lamentable enough, as far as it was extended, was not by any means so wide-spread as might at one time have been dreaded. Nevertheless, that cannot in any respect render the ill consequences of the enterprise less arduous to those luckless persons who were unhappily induced to embark in the .... _ scheme from the brilliant nature of the prospects - held out to them by way of inducement. Ruin, it is true, has not been scattered indiscriminately among all classes of society, as was the case with the South Sea Adventure—but deception quite as disgraceful has been practised. Happily, too, we have not witnessed in the present instance any terrible mortality from famine and pestilence as was the result of the ill-fated Darien Expedition. Neither have we seen with that, as with the noto rious Mississippi Scheme, the engendering among all ranks of the community of the most villanous passions and the most deplorable embarrassments. But, while the ill effects may have been more restricted in number, and less injurious in opera- • tion, they have originated in a venture quite as unjustifiable as the one and quite as bungled as the other of those famous enterprises. It is from our deliberate and dispassionate conviction that such is the veritable blame to be attached to them, that we are solicitous to point the finger of repre hension thus directly at the members of the Can terbury Association. Every one who has listened to the alluring prospectus of that society, has up to this time suffered lamentably from his mistaken confidence. Icarie was not a more notorious illu sion than this Canterbury Settlement. As well might the purchasers of land in that quarter, who have emigrated thither in quest of health, riches, felicity, and a variety of other boons needless to be here enumerated, because already familiar to the majority of the sufferers from a certain cuckoo-iteration in all the documents issued by the Canterbury Association, —as well say we, might the hapless emigrants here men tioned have danced over a quagmire, in the hope of catching and bottling up, in a Leyden jar, a genuine will-o'-the-wisp---as have dreamt of the possibility of ever attaining the exquisite joys, and realising the beatific visions, of the oft-men tioned Canterbury Settlement. They might as lief have anticipated a sojourn in the golden realms of PRESTER JOHN, floating down the auri ferous flood of Cathay, or sauntering over celestial paths, " strewn with rubies thick as gravel," in the ideal regions of Cipango. Equally rational would it have been, supposing they had gone in quest of some of the gorgeous palaces and incalculable treasures of El Dorado. Nay, their search could scarcely have been mere futile had it seen directed towards the imaginary charms of Utopia, or the fanciful delights of Arcadia, or the supposititious blessings accruing to the voyagers wrecked on the hallowed shores of Atale,ntis. For everywhere, in their most confi dently-cherished hopes of comfort and remunera tion, they have encountered nothing but chagrin, annoyance, loss, and disappointment. The Eden of the mendacious SCADDER was not more deplor able "a delusion, a mockery, and a snare" to MARTIN CHIJZZLEWIT 7 than to these emigrant pur chasers of land in New Zealand has been this unhappy Canterbury Settlement. Scarcely any intelligent man in the United Kingdom remains to be informed now for the first time that the scheme here mentioned originated with a cluster of eminent noblemen, clergymen, and gentlemen, who announced themselves publicly as a corporate body, selling land in New Zealand under the authority and with the title of the Can terbury Association. So far, we take it, the facts of the case are sufficiently notorious. Equally well known is it, we presume, that land is sold by the society in that particular portion of the southern archipelago at the rate of 3/. per acre, with a perfect understanding of cer tain stipulated advantages. Purchasers, in fact, were solemnly assured from the outset of the pro ceedings, that in compensation for this exorbitant charge of 3/. an acre, they were to have admirable roadways, and religious benefits almost incalcul able. They were to have " free communication between different parts of the settlement," and, above all, they were to possess " a Church Esta blishment, and collegiate arrangements for the education of their children, equal to the wants of a Sup er i or Ch urc h commun ity." It was intimated, distributed indeed, i n t h e c h arter o f i ncorpora ti on , that the moneys obt a i ne d b y th e sale of these lands, or otherwise accruing tto theas follows Canterbury fur the benefit Association, f were to b e the newly- organised colony :—Two-sixths were to be dedicated exclusively to church and educational purposes; two-sixth s to sixth to the New _ emigration purposes; one- Zeal a n(arrangement such o o for f the otherne-sixth to land itself ; and the remaining m iscellaneous purp oses, as the construc tion of roads, and the desirable preparations. In plainer terms, the " block - of rich land" in posses.' • SlOll of the Canter bury Association was to be sold for 31. p e i t o respectable purchasers , on the proviso that acre tthe said 3/. were to ho thus distributed— " Land provided with all necessary roads an d port, facilities, per acre .......... .. .............. 10 0 Church, bishopric. corresporming church establishment, and college E m igration for every 100 acres, passage of P urchaser and three labour ers ........... New Zealand Company, for the land 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 10 0 £3 0 0" Consequently every purchaser was led to believe that iu return for his money there would be secured to him by the Association, besides other "The Mutual Relations between the Canterbury Association and the Purchasers of Land in the Canter bury Settlement, briefly considered, with a Copious Appendix of Authentic Documents."

Gentleman from stating the arguments in favour of the proposition must be fresh in the public recollection. Owing to the discreditable manoeuvring of the Government, the House was counted out on many successive Tues. days—the days devoted to independent members, It was intended to get rid of the presen motion in a similar manner. Mr. BALL was, however, not to be got rid of quite so easily. He had secured the attendance of the requisite number of Philo-Agriculturists, and when at the commencement of business the Ministerial side of the House exhibited a beggarly account of empty benches—there being only pre- sent, of that party, Sir JoHN SHELLEY, the seconder of the motion, and the Hon. Gentleman who had undertaken the duty of whipper-out--- the stratagem having thus thoroughly and com pletely failed—the Honourable Gentleman (Mr. BALL) determined that the shaft should be hurled back upon his opponents with double force. In fcrder to achieve this great desideratum, with a disinterestedness worthy of an ancient Roman, he suppressed for the time his flowing eloquence, and co ntented hi mse lf w ith me rely moving the resolution amid the vociferous cheering of the attend an t b ucolics, :la o b l i a t t e i d on in the who thoroughly appreciated the self-immolation--the —the total sacrifice of his own feelings to rank with the J act—which entitled him olden time.

The doughty champion, single-handed, rushed to the breach, determined' to roll back the surge of war. The modern MANLIUS saved the fiscal Capitol. We shall not say that it was preserved by the cackling o f a venerable bird, but the brief expression of exulta tion gave time for the rescue. The Right Hon. Gentleman talked vigorously against time. Un dismayed by the groans and murmurs, and the incessant demands for a division, with which the chosen representatives of the people are accustomed to express their disapprobation of an unwelcome effu sion, he persisted until the arrival of adequate reinforcements told him that a trial of strength might be hazarded. His trusty follower had ac cdsion, urately measured the opposing fo rces, and, on a division, it was found that, by a majo rit y of four, the Malt Tax was saved for the present session ! , This te m p t ora-) i t - 1 most unexpected reverse did not, howeve r discourage the elwrge tie BALL.

As surances of this alluring kind were given in all imaginable forms by the p romoters of the enter prise.Distinguishedc personages belonging to the society endorsed by their names higher grades of the promises of the Association. And those pro mises were trumpetted abroad not only by orators at public meetings, but also re peatedly through black-on-white in the co lumns of the Canterbury Papers, of the New Zealand Gazette, and of other periodical pub lications. An energetic pioneer had been found in Mr. JOHN ROBERT GODLEY, the originator of the whole of this magnificent undertaking. Be sides which, the exertions of Mr. GODLEY, as Chief Agent, were enforced by those of Mr. THOUAS, as Chief Surveyor ; of Mr. WAKEFIELD, as Commissioner on Land Sales ; of Mr. BLACH FORD, as Accountant ; and of Mr. ALSTON, as Secretary. Nay, these glittering promises were carried so far, that the Rev. Mr. JACKSON was designated the Bishop-elect for the diocese of the new Settlement. Consequent upon all which, three hundred land purchasers were induced to embark in the enterprise—and these three hun dred land purchasers are now declared to have been " shamefully defrauded," to quote the simple phrase employed on the authority of the Committee deputed to communicate with Lord LYTTLETON, one of the most prominent and distinguished of the promoters of the Canterbury Association. As epitomising in the strongest and the clearest language possible the charge entered against the association by this Committee, on the part of the unfortunate victims, the 300 land purchasers, the subjoined passage is entitled to particular consideration. It sums up the preface of the remarkable pamphlet mentioned at the outset of our observations, and is expressed in the terms following : " It is not pretended that all the members of the Can terbury Association were cognisant of the nature of the evil daily perpetrated under the sanction of their great names, in the course of these proceeding;, under which they unfortunately imagined a great religious principle was going on to a triumphant development. Nothing less than an English Church community, perfect in all its parts, could be tolerated by these high-minded and pious gentlemen. Four thousand helpless Christian people on an uncultivated waste, surrounded on all sides by impassable rock and bar ; no church, no bishop, no ecclesiastical or educational establishment of the meanest kind • no preparation beyond a ba rrack for the labour. ing classes, and a wharf subject to dues; no roads, nothing but the hard earth and shapeless rock as it was from the earliest ages ; —such and such only was the disastrous issue of the greatest religious delusion that could disgrace the intelligent sanctity of modern days." Such are the startling assertions made on behalf of the sufferers from this bubble blown by certain religious philanthropists, and now formally submitted to the judgment of the community by the Committee recently in communication with Lord LYTTLETON. Further allusion to the subject were superfluous at the present moment one might conjecture on a hasty glance at the circumstances connected with its very eccentric rise and development. Reflection, however, assures us to the contrary so forcibly, that we cannot but be tempted to examine the matter analytically, and in minute detail, at the earliest available opportunity. It is obviously on " the very head and front of its offending" in every way entitled to some such scrupulous and searching examination, this " greatest religious delusion," as it has been called, of our vaunted age of shrewdness and sanctity, enlightenment and civilisation. MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 10,000 bales, of which 3,600 Ame rican, 100 Bahia and 300 Surat were taken for export. The market was steady, and prices of all kinds well supported. The sales comprised 8,000 American, 100 Bahia at 61d., 170 Pernam and Maranham at 64d. to Bd., 300 Egyptian at 61d. to is. 0p.., 1,500 Surat at 31d. to 40., and 30 Sea Island at Is. 10d. to 2s. 2d. per lb. Railway Shares were firm at an advance of Ito 1 per cent. on all the leading stocks. The followinc , report upon the Fruit trade is by Messrs. Witherby and Hanson : " Since our report of the 23d ult. there has been a large business done in Old Fruit, and of a more healthy character, inasmuch as the purchases have been con fined almost exclusively to the trade, at 90s. to 955. for middling and good qualities, establishing a quotable advance of fully ss. per cwt. on such descriptions. Holders generally of old and new are firmer, and less disposed to realise than at the beginning of the Month, confi dently expecting a further improvement in prices as the season advances. The stock in London i 3 esti mated about the same as on 30th June." " There is now no doubt whatever respecting the issue of the new crop. Various reports have been circulated, favourable and unfavourable. It has even been stated that the extreme heat which was prevalent in the Morea and the Islands, particularly in Zante, had entirely destroyed the fruit. This is very doubtful, since, with a temperature of 130 degrees in the sun, it was scarcely practicable, not being safe, to ascertain from actual ob servation its effects in any locality." Of the Port-wine Market, Messrs. Walter, Howell, and Hale, give the particulars subjoined : " The accounts from the Douro, regarding the effects of the vine disease, are assuming every post a more seri ous and alarming character ; its progress, slow at first, is now rapid, the destruction of the -grapes, inconsiderable and only partial in the beginning, is now important and general wherever the disease attacks ; already 20,000 to 30,000 pipes, according to the best authorities and cal culations, have been destroyed, and the disease evidently increases and spreads itself in the same proportion as the fruit advances to maturity. The opinions upon the effect that the disease is likely to produce on the vine, are discordant and much at variance ; it will be difficult indeed, if not impossible, to establish on this subject an absolute and incontrovertible one, in the absence of scientific investigations and the knowledge of its nature, origin, causes, and incidences, as well as how far it is in fluenced and modified by the nature of the soil, clime, quality of the vines, &c. "The farmers and people in general, however, having before their eyes the unfortunate and fatal effecis that it has produced in Madeira, are struck with terror and consternation, —public prayers have been offered all over the country, with the fervour of a people that dreads its destruction. From the above you can well imagine the feverish and excited state of the market. Not only have wines considerably advanced in price, but very few are offered for sale, yet, at the present exor bitant rates, most of the holders have withdrawn their wines from the market, expecting soon to obtain much higher prices than the already very high current rates demanded. "The stock on the Ist August, 1853, consisted of 21,023 pipes, 5,025 hhds., 3,950 quarters." The committee for promoting the formation of Tribunals of Commerce are circulating a statement of their claims upon the pecuniary support of the mercantile community, and these are certainly very strong. In this document it is mentioned that— " While London is the source and centre of the com merce of the world, .t is remarkable that no bond of union or incorporation exists among its merchants ; and that in this respect they are anticipated by insignificant continental and many secondary provincial English towns. They have to invoke the political aid and social influence of the Chambers' of Commerce of Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds, Glasgow, Edinburgh, and New castle, if necessity compels them to appeal to Govern ment or to Parliamant ; and they have to take their mercantile law and custom not from the decisions and practice of their own body, but from the doubtful dicta of professional lawyers, acquired by the experience of great uncertainty, proverbial delay, and costs so ' , Teat as to render the expense of ob ta i ning justice greater than the advantage of the justice to be obtained. "This committee has been engaged for upwards of two years in labouring to discharge some of the functions which a Chamber of Commerce should have undertaken; and after having placed itself in co-operation with the provincial mercantile bodies, in communication with the periodical press, and in correspondence with the zealous law reformers of both Houses of Parliament, and in the profession itself, they have succeeded in so preparing public opinion on the subject, that there is a general de sire for, and concurrence of conviction as to the import ance of, early legislation founded upon careful inquiry, in the view of giving practical effect to the principle on which tribunals of commerce are instituted." As usual, after a material improvement, the funds have became quieter, and some re-action has occurred in prices. Late yesterday afternoon consols were 931 for transfer, and 98/ for Sep tember ; but this morning they are 97 to 98 for money, and 971 ; to 981 for September. The ex planations in Parliament last evening are con sidered satisfactory, though they bear out the view in the leading article of last evening's Sun, that there is yet much to be done before the question can be satisfactorily set tled, and it is sincerely hoped in the City that there will not be a patching up of the dispute that w ill leave room for future embroilment and aggres sion. The opportunity, it is considered, was never better for curbing the pretensions of Russia, as at another crisis, England and France might not be found united with Austria and Prussia.

THE NAVAL REVIEW AT SPITHEAD. DEPARTURE OF HER MAJESTY—(THIS DAY.) This morning her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, accompanied by the Marquis of Breadalbane, K.T., the Marquis of Abercorn, K.G., the Marquis of Ormond, Lieut.-Colonel Wood, Col.

SPORTING NOTES. WOLVERHAMPTON LOOKING UP. Determined and well-directed efforts have been made to re-establish the popularity of the Wolverhampton meeting. The race committee have exerted themselves actively to attain success, and their labours are likely to meet with commensurate reward. The present gather ing will contrast most favourably with its predecessors of late years ; for, although the spirit is not strikingly distinguished by either quantity or quality, yet the racing was sufficiently close to be interesting— and in certain instances exciting. The most prominent feature in the day's proceedings was, of course, the Wolverhampton Stakes, which brought out an unexpectedly strong field. Pastrycook was the favourite, and although she figured somewhat pro minently in the encounter in the early part of the race was seemingly incapable of sustaining the contest to the end. Doubt won somewhat cleverly. She did not " come" until reaching distance, when she drew to the front, and soon obtained a lead, which she afterwards held to the end. Trifle figured most ingloriously, and finished just in front of old Clothworker, who was last, but who had run third until reaching the turn from home. Musician was much fancied by his party, but he " shut up" at the most critical part of the encounter. Before the race, a question was started as to his lia bility to carry 71b. extra for running a dead heat for a Handicap Plate at Newmarket. This objection was overruled, but I have no hesitation in saying that he had fairly incurred the additional impost. After a long rest Defiance made his appearance for the Trial Stakes. He, however, being left at the post, did not take any part in the contest. It was afterwards reported that he had broken down, a report in which I place no faith. Wolverhampton is now " choke full," and the Hotel charges are as usual exorbitant. It is, therefore, no wonder that many of the sporting visitors sojourn fur the race nights at Birmingham. A right merry meeting will be celebrated at Reading on Wednesday and Thursday. So great, however, is the distance at which I write from the scene of action that I am totally unacquainted with the movements in the market respecting the ap pointed events. I am also unprovided with a pro gramme of the sport, the Sunday Times having been stolen from the hotel where I am staying, and Bell's Life being utterly ignored by the proprietors. Birmingham, Monday Night. LATEST FOREIGN NEWS. FRANCE. The Paris papers consider that the acceptance by Russia of the propositions from Vienna has put the Eastern question in the fair way of a settlement, as there cannot be a doubt of the consent of Turkey. The Debats gives the news of the Moniteur with out comment. The Assemblee Nationale, which has throughout been the indirect apologist of the Emperor of Russia, and which evidently feels con vinced that a pacific solution has been obtained by concessions to his Imperial Majesty, is delighted at the result. It says : "We hope that the incredulous persons who have been astonished at our confidence in the maintenance of peace, will feel themselves shaken in their opinions by reading the note of the Moniteur. Diplomacy has just acquired incontestable claims to the gratitude of Europe by the skill, the spirit of conciliation, and the rapidity with which it has conducted the late negotiations. It was on the 24th ult. that the representatives of the four great powers, France, Austria, England, and Prussia, assembled at Vienna under the pre sidency of Count de Buol-Schauenstein to discuss the new propositions to be submitted to the Emperor Nicholas and to the Sultan. A few days after the representatives of these powers had agreed on the term of these propositions, and the telegraph trans mitted them to Paris and to London, from whence they were sent back again to Vienna by the same means, having received the assent of the French and English Governments. They were then transmitted by the tele graph to St Petersburg, which soon after made known the adhesion of the Emperor Nicholas. This explains the reason of that adhesion being on Sunday known in Paris. From the promptitude with which every one has come to a decision under the circumstances, it will be admitted that we were right in saying that all the Cabinets, without exception, and without arrire pens6e, wished for the maintenance of peace. The telegraph which has tended for some time past to mislead public opinion, has in these case been in the hands of the Governments a wonderful instrument of communication, thanks to which this prompt result has been obtained, and general uneasiness put an end to, for the adhesion of the Sultan, which is ,now the only thing remaining to be made known, inspires no doubt, unless unforeseen and improbable events should take place in the interior of Turkey. In a word, if this is not precisely the conclusion of the Eastern question, it is at least something very like it." The Emperor has conferred a pension of 2,400 fr. on M. Baucher, the well-known professor of horse manship, as a recompense for the services rendered by him in the Cavalry School at Saumur. Queen Christina of Spain and her suite, con sisting of about fifteen persons, arrived at Havre on Saturday. Her Majesty took up her residence at Frascati's, where apartments had been prepared for her reception. In the evening the band of the 29th Regiment gave her a serenade. The Ecclesiastical Gazette of Vienna, of the 2d inst., announces the death of the Emperor of China. The Siècle announces that the Emperor has granted an unconditional permission torts. Baze, former Questor of the National Assembly, to return to France. The permission was granted at the request of the celebrated Agen poet Jasmin. Commercial affairs in Paris have sustained another check this week, and, were it not for some large orders received from the United States, where French merchandise is in good demand, the manufacturers might consider themselves to have fallen into the dead season. The harvest continues to be gathered in through out the departments with as favourable weather as could be desired. The immediate consequence has been a dullness in the corn markets without any serious fall in the price of flour. The last letters received from Lyons are filled with details of the damage occasioned in the city and its neighbourhood by a dreadful hurricane on the afternoon of the 4th inst. The houses between Lyons and the Croix Rousse particularly suffered. Much of the flagging of the foot paths and almost all the gas pipes were carried away by the flood, which swept in a torrent from the hills. Several houses fell in, the walls having given way, and what is more serious quantities of silk in the silk weavers' frames were cut by the broken glass and mortar. The favourable news received from St. Peters burgh of the Emperor of Russia's adhesion to the note agreed upon by the representatives of the Great Powers at Vienna, had a most favourable influence on the market for public securities yester day. After much excitement, and the transaction of a good deal of business, prices stood thus at the close, with an upward tendency :—For Cash— Three per Cents., 79f. 70c. ; Four and a Half per Cents., 104 f. 40c. For the account—Three per Cents., 79f. 75c. ; Four and a Half per Cents., 104 f. 10c. ; Bank Stock, 2,820 f. Shares of the Bank of Credit Foncier closed at 50f. above the previous quotation, and Credit Mobilier 90f. The last prices are :—Credit Foncier, 750 f. ; Credit Mobilier, 872 f. 50c. The railway share market has participated in the great improvement in the funds. Northerns have advanced 37f., Paris and Orleans 72f., Paris and Strasbourg 52f., Paris and Lyons 44f., and Paris and Rouen, 55f. Large transac tions have taken place, and prices closed as follow, with much firmness :—Northerns, 884 f. 50c. ; Paris and Orleans, 1,212 f. ; Paris and Strasbourg, 957 f. ; Paris and Lyons, 947 f. 75c. ; Paris and Rouen, 1,105 f. • TURKEY AND RUSSIA. Nothing more is known about the propositions submitted to the Emperor of Russia, or of his deci sion thereon, than what was communicated yester day. The effect produced by the dispatch in the Moniteur is, as might be expected, very good, and, as usual, rushing from one extreme to the other, the public is convinced that the Eastern question is at length completely settled. This is going too far, as there is something more to be done. The question of the evacuation of the Danubian Pro vinces is the next important point. That, however, ought not to present serious difficulty, as the eva cuation is the necessary consequence of the Empe ror of Russia's acceptance of the propositions of the Powers. In such thoroughly bad odour is the Russian name that there are some who think that it will be yet difficult to wrest that portion of the Ottoman Empire from the grasp of the Czar : that a pretext for retaining hold of it will be found in disturbances at Constantinople or elsewhere ' • and ' that, in such case, the Powers will not object to a longer occupation. Accounts from Constantinople to the 25th ult., state that a grand council at which the high civil and religious functionaries had been convoked, was held at the Porte on the 24th, when the most war like resolutions were, it is said, agreed upon. The results of the conference at Vienna were not, how ever, known in the Turkish capital at that time. The Press of Vienna contains a letter from Con stantinople of the 25th ult., which says :—" The Divan has sent another courier to Vienna. It is though more and more probable that peace will be preserved. A second edition of the proposition of Russia has been brought before the Divan, which will probably accept it. It is said that the offen sive form of the first is abandoned. The rights of the Christians will be guaranteed to them." A letter from Alexandria of the 19th ult., in the German Journal of Frankfort, says :—"Last even ing upwards of 200 children went through the streets of the quarter of the Franks, singing some verses imploring God to give the victory to the Sultan. They were followed by several cheicks. They afterwards went towards the Port, and in sulted some Maltese. These latter spat at them, and one man threw a stone at them. Another went for the guard, but he could not get it to come. The tumult did not cease until after the Maltese had withdrawn. On doing so they applied to the English Consul for redress. It was remarked that the patrol having met this disorderly band never attempted to disperse it." The first Russian columns occupied, on the 15th ult., the so-called Little Valachia. Part only re ' mained, the others left for the Danube. The 15,000 Egyptians are to form the garrison of Constantinople, in place of the Guards, who are to go to Schumla. The Porte had contracted with . Armenian merchants for the subsistence of the new forces. 30,000 guns, furnished by France, had arrived at Constantinople prior to the 25th ult. A great Council, to which the Ulemas were convoked, took place on the 24th. The resolutions adopted are said to be very warlike. The Oesterreichische Correspondenz (semi-official) says the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh has accepted the Austrian project, to which England, France, and Prussia have given their adhesion. Its reali sation, therefore, depends on the Porte alone. A letter from Bucharest of the 24th ult. states that the Consuls of the Foreign Powers were not to quit the country, as had been reported. Th e y had discontinued official relations with the Govern ment of the reigning Prince, but kept up fri e ndly relations with him in the interest of the subjects of their respective Governments. From the Russian papers we learn, that the Em peror on occasion of the rep or t p resen t e d to him s tating the rapid advances of the troops into the Principalities, had published an order of the day, expressing .his thanks to all the officers concerned, and according a gratuity o f two roubles to every private. These pecuniary gratuities which are so often bestowed on the troops, are never paid down to them, but go to a fund, from which the soldier on quitting the service receives in a lump all that he has become entitled to during the time he served. In case of death, it is paid to his heirs. The Frankfurter Post Zeitung, that is generally well informed, on Austrian news, informs us that A FRESH MAN RACING FIXTURES FOR 1853.

Yesterday being a festival day in the Imperial family, at an early hour her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess Olga, accompanied by her consort, his Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Wurtemberg, arrived at the residence of the Russian Embassy, and was present with her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess Marie and the Princess Marie at a religious service, performed in accordance with the rites of the Greek Church, by the Rev. Mr. Popoff. After the service, the Crown Prince and Princess of of Wurtemberg, the latter attended by the Baroness Brunnow, proceeded to Grosvenor-house, to pay a visit to the Marchioness of Westminster. The illustrious party were received by the noble marchioness, and con ducted through the picture gallery and the other apart ments of this magnificent mansion. The Crown Prince and Princess afterwards drove through the principal thoroughfares of the West-end, and visited several leading establishments. Among the persons honoured by the presence of her Imperial High ness and her Royal Consort, Messrs. Daniell, the china men of New Bond-street, of whom the Grand Duchess was pleased to order a magnificent dinner and dessert service, and Mr. C. F. Hancock, the eminent jeweller of Bruton-street, may be particularised. The Baroness Sturmfeder and Count Zeppline were in attendance upon the Crown Prince and Princess during the afternoon. At a quarter to three o'clock her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess Marie, accompanied by his Excel lency Baron Brunnow, and attended by the ladies and gentlemen of her household, left the residence of the Russian Embassy in two dress carriages, the servants wearing their state liveries, for Buckingham Palace, to have an audience of her Majesty the Queen. Her Imperial Highness had a long interview with her Majesty and his Royal Highness the Prince Consort. On leaving the Palace, at a quarter-past four o'clock the Grand Duchess drove to Mivart's, where the Crown Prince and Princess of Wurtemberg had already arrived from their afternoon drive. Their Imperial Highnesses were shortly afterwards honoured with a visit by her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, who had come to town from Richmond for the express pur. pose of paying her respects to the daughters of the Emperor. The Grand Duchess Marie returned to the residence of the Embassy at five o'clock. The Crown Prince and Princess of Wurtemberg were subsequently honoured with a visit at their hotel by his Royal Highness Prince Albert. At half-past five o'clock his Royal Highness the Prince Consort arrived at the residence of the Russian Embassy, and paid a visit to the Grand Duchess Marie. Her Imperial Highness was afterwards visited by his Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar. The Countess of Pembroke, the Countess Bruce, and the Right Hon. Sidney Herbert, M.P., and Mrs. Her bert, afterwards called at the embassy, and had the honour of interviews with the Grand Duchess. The Princess Marie, daughter of the Grand Duchess, visited the Colosseum and the Zoological Gardens in the Regent's-park yesterday. Her Imperial Highness after wards drove into Hyde-park, by the Marble Arch en trance, and in making the circuit, near the Serpentine, met the carriage of her Majesty the Queen, by whom the Princess was very graciously saluted. Their Imperial Highnesses intend visiting the Uni versity of Oxford and Blenheim Palace to•day (Tuesday). 8 SHERIFFS COURT.--(THIS DAY.) (Before R. Gurney, Esq.) BRIDGES V. AeCARTIrt—SINGULAR CASE OF TENANTCT. This was an action to recover the amount of two quar ters' rent of a house in King-street, Walworth. From the evidence of the plaintiff's agent it appeared that the defendant took the house under a written agreement, and signed it in the name Francis de Fran cais. The premises were occupied for three-quarters of a-year, and the key was sent to the agent on the 18th December, 1851, rent being doe from June. Mr. W. H. Buchanan, Basinghall-street, said he was taken by surprise by the production of the agreement, but as two or three gentlemen were together, some mis take might have arisen. Mrs. De Francais was sworn, and declared that she herself paid in her husband's name, and took receipts in his name, but she had unfortunately lost them. Plain tiffs agent went in and put up a bill before Christmas. Mr. Buchanan contended that, at all events, the plaintiff could only recover for one quarter. His Honour said a case had been decided that the putting up of a bill for premises to be let did not debar a landlord from recovering. Judgment was thereupon given for the amount claimed, ..,..- immediately after the rejection of the Constanti nople project by the representatives of G the four Powers in Vienna on the 29th of July, Graf Buol, Schauenstein himself drew up another form. of e arrangement which met with the approbation ci the other members of the Conference , and was d i t s : patched to Constantinople fcr acceptance by to Porte previous to being forwarded to St. Pers burgh.
