The Twelfth Exhibition will take place THIS EVENING, Novem- and the question is decided by the pen, rather ber 5. when Mr. Smith earnestly but respectfully solicits a continua tion of that support which he so gratenally recognises. than by the sabre. This is our belief, from a calm consideration of the entire circumstances, and the opinion may be entitled to the greater weight, as it is not alto gether in accordance with our wishes, or what we believe would eventually prove best calculated to preserve the tranquillity and promote the pros perity of Europe. The AUTOCRAT has got him self into a difficulty from which he may find it extremely hard to extricate himself, without the sacrifice of some portion of that power which has already weighed down the scale and disturbed the " balance" of which so much has been said or written from time to time. His arrogance and insolence is no longer tolerable to independent nations, and should he escape with impunity from the consequences of the " false move" into which he has suffered his ambition and cupidity to betray him, he will await a more favourable opportunity for carrying out designs which may be postponed, although not abandoned. Whatever ma y be the nature of the lesson he is now to receive, he will profit by it. If he suffer se verely he will be slow to'attempt a similar out break. His diminished power, or wounded pride, will check any further demonstration in which he may be tempted to indulge, and render him less likely to demand " material guarantees" at another time. But, if on the con trary, he gets out of the scrape with comparative ease, if he be permitted to injure the finances and reduce the resources of those whom he is desirous of destroying without any proportionate loss to himself, it will' operate as a perpetual stimulus and incentive to further aggressions, so that war, sooner or later, will be inevitable—a war, too, on a much larger scale, and leading to more for midable results than any that could now take place. A patched-up truce is not for the interest of Turkey or of Europe, more especially of the Western Powers. NICHOLAS has shown his fangs. They should be extracted before he can use them with greater force than, at present. The claws of the Bear should be pared before he is released from the trap into which he voluntarily and wantonly entered, and that can only be effected after a de cisive campaign, and the equally decided inter ference of the combined fleets of England, France, and Turkey. There can be no permanent peace unless the opening of the Bosphorus and the Danube be clearly provided for, and the untenable - retensions of the CZAR be formally abandoned, THEATRE ROYAL, HA.YMA.RICET.

Nothing effectual has yet been done towards ealing the unfortunate breach between the mas ters and workmen in the manufacturing districts. On the contrary, a stronger and more determined spirit is excited on either side—a feeling of per sonal animosity, natural enough under the cir cumstances, but not the less deeply to be re gretted, is also springing up, which must materi ally complicate matters, and add to the difficulties of effecting a permanent and satisfactory arrange ment. The masters believe that their very exist ence depends on their unflinching firmness. Should they now yield, they would henceforward and for ever relinquish the control and manage ment of their own affairs to the idle and dissolute scoundrels who prowl about public-houses, hunt ing out any matter, however trivial, which may serve as a peg whereon to hang a griev ance, fomenting disputes between the em ployers and the employed, and interfering in so arrogant and offensive a manner as to disgust any one possessed of a manly spirit, and prevent the amicable settlement of a difficulty susceptible of , easy arrangement, but for the mischievous in termeddling of third parties. It would, in fact, be tantamount to the establishment of a domestic inquisition of the most vexatious description, the nominal owner having totally and unequivocally surrendered his free will into the hands of pot house legislators, who would not permit him to take on or discharge a single hand, or effect a single alteration in the manner of his business, without their consent being first had and obtained —aye, and handsomely paid for. None will sub mit to such insolent dictation, such unparalleled tyranny. Any sacrifice, even that of the capital embarked in their respective concerns, would be preferable. They find that single, they are help less—that they can be readily defeated in detail. The working hands contributing a proportion of their wages to support the turn-outs, who, when they had succeeded in defeating their immediate employers, returned the compliment by support ing others during their " strike," which followed as a matter of course. The masters were not quite so silly as to permit this game to be played any longer at their expense. The combination of the men could only be met by a similar combi nation of the employers. They could understand the application of the adage, that " union is strength," just as well as the working hands ; and thus we find them arming themselves with the weapons assumed by their opponents, and exhi biting the same tactics. Thus we find that a " turn-out" is met by a "lock-out," and that the men who exhibit a disposition to support others in idleness, are speedily left to demand similar assist ance for themselves. The w or k men, on the other hand, misled by turbulent and interested leaders, impute to their employers the privations and sufferings which they themselves and their families are now undergoing. They are taught to believe that the strictly defen sive measures which have been adopted by the masters are totally unjustifiable, and suffer them selves to be led away by the turgid and inflat e d balderdash, that is i ns till ed into thir ears by those who are feeding on the fat of the land—eating and drinking of the b es t at their expense. Th us the present untoward state of affairs has sprung up, and unless a speedy arrangement be effected, we ma y look forward to still more dangerous occurrences than those that have already taken place. There are few of us who have not heard iu our juvenile days that — "Satan finds some mischief still For idle hands to do." that Idleness principlehomelybeen suchconveyedas and The moresame maxhimass, is the mother of mischief," and a variety of others of similar purport. We cannot conceive that men - _ engaged in such a struggle will long confine them selves to the strict letter of the law, or refrain from acts of intimidation, if not of violence, Already we have heard of menaces uttered agains the " knobsticks". '—that is to say, those who re- fuse to connect themselves with the different trade unions, and are willing to work on fair and equi- table terms, without contributing any portion of their earnings to the funds for the " turn-outs." Nay, more ; we h ave at Wigan and elsewhere _ . serious riots ; and considerable alarm is felt through ou t the different districts in which these depl ora bl e dissensions prevail, lest further out rages may b e resorted to, so that blood may possibly be spilt in the conflicts between the preservers and the violaters of the peace.

New reports are circulated almost hourly as to the state of affairs in the Danubian Provinces. By one it is stated that " Bucharest and all the towns in the Principalities have been placed in a state of siege," that " Martial law had been pro claimed, and correspondence with the Turks pro hibited on pain of death." Another statement said to be made on the authority of a private tele graphic despatch from Vienna of the 3d inst., an nounces "the defeat of the Turkish corps which had passed the Danube near Kalafat." It is also stated that " a conflict had taken place near Dam, in which many Turks and Russians had been killed, that the Turks retreated up the river, and had been followed by the Russians." These are some of many rumours freely circulated, the object whereof is probably to enable the "Bears" to get out of the difficulties in which they have involved them selves, and at whi c h they are now th oroug h ly affrighted, on the cheapest and easiest terms. It depends on those who have previously been vic timised whether they will let their constant persecutors escape so easily from the toils in which they are entangled. Even if these nu merous accounts of daily skirmishes be well founded, if there should indeed be one or more collisions between the Turkish and Russian troops, it would not prevent, scarcely retard, the final settlement of the question. For the reasons that we have already set forth we altogether discredit the assertion, that " cor respondence with the Turks had. been prohibited on pain of death." Nor do we believe that Prince GORTSCHAKOFF has taken the initiative in attempt ing to expel Turkish troops from what is still admitted to be Turkish territory. He has already declared that he will merely stand on the defensive, to maintain the posi tion which his master has ordered him to occupy. But NICHOLAS, as yet, at least, pre tends that, although he has sent his troops into the territory, he has not yet made war upon the SULTAN, and doubtless his servants have received peremptory instructions to act in accordance with this viewof the case. What excuse, then, could there be for the intruders attempting to expel the law ful occupauta?_to drive out those who, accgrd ing even to the Russian argument, had full right to be there ? p r i nce Cr ORTscaAKorE may refuse to withdraw his troops, or even to retreat a singleyard, but his attacking Turkish troops would co m pl e t e l y the bubble which tenp dispelthe illusion txhaitelitiaol practised, and bu rs t elaborate care. Th e has blown w ith such CzAR has at all t imes evinced too great a readines s t o di savow the ac t s of his subordinates—to sacrifice the diplomatist general who departs in the slighteSt degr or the ee from the strict letter of his instructions, if any benefit to himself could be derived from such sacrifice to permit any unnecessary d ev i at i on therefrom ' It is true that the occupation of the provinces is just as unjustifiable an act as would be the attack of, the Turkish t roops ; • on, or expulsion but NICHOLAS chooses to represent it in a di ffe _ to the subordinat e w h o rent light, and woe exposed the duplicity or r emoved the veil from his Imperial Master. He would bitterly expiate the imprudence that led to such a discovery. 11 better off if Nor would O ILER P ACH A be much he Qlfultif anNeliberately chose to disobey the N.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 5, 1852 by threats and menaces from those who would otherwise refuse any assistance to the parties. Under such circumstances, it is surely time that something should be done to preserve the peace of the country, and to avert the growing evil. We fear that nothing but a legislative remedy will suffice, and that one which will, be suited to the magnitude of the emergency. Never was there a greater reason for calling Par liament together before Christmas. The Eastern Question would alone be sufficient, not merely to justify but to require such a step. And if we add to that the still more important difficulty in the manufacturing districts, we know not how the claim can be rejected. Let those who are interested take measures to call upon Government to procrastinate no longer, but, under the pecu liar circumstances of the country, avail them selves of the assistance of the chosen Representa tives of the people. It is by such means only that they can get rid of a very serious reponsi bility. Rest MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. _.____,ll.-___ CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at from 5,000 to 6,000 bales, including 1,000 for export and on speculation. The market closed firmly. Railway Shares were buoyant. In the weekly return of the Bank of England, made up to the 29th ult., there are one or two im portant changes. The amount of bullion has been increased materially by the paying in of Australian gold, and at the same time there has been such an increase in the public deposits as to contract the circulation. The discount business varied but little, and it would appear that the Bank had pur chased or made advances upon Government Secu rities. Compared with the previous week, the changes are as follows : Active circulation.

Paris, 90 days, was at 25 25 to 271 ; and Frank fort, at 1191 to -, being each a shade lower. Very encouraging accounts have been received from the resident engineer of the Waller Gold Mining Company, and it is stated to be the inten tion of the directors to infuse new blood into the concern, and to prosecute the undertaking with vigour. The engineer, in his report, states that his examination confirms mostly the information previously given. It is proposed to work the mine similarly to the St. John d'el Rey in Brazil. " Some of the Gold Mines in Virginia have been car ried on to a great profit, even though the operations have, in general, been conducted in a rude, imperfect, and unsystematic manner ; and, I may remark, that the ores from some of the mines that have been worked do not equal in yield one-sixth of the value of the ores from the Waller Mines. In addition to the veins pre viously opened on the Waller Estate, two other veins have been discovered during my inspection of the pro perty. One of these consists of a kind of talcose slate of a reddish color, and feruginous at the surface. At a greater depth it is filled with small crystals of iron pyrites, which appear som e thi ng lik e per - ox id e o f i ron and color the slate brown. This is a very valuable vein, and affords an average yield of 41. per ton. I have called it 'The Brown Slate Vein."' It is at all times dangerous to be oversanguine • in regard to the prospects of particular mines, and even diligent investigation sometimes will end in disappointment ; but the following items in the re- Port, should the results bear them out, must greatly improve the position of the shareholders : " The Waller Vein, is not taken into my calculation cf yield, though it is so celebrated for the richness of the ore it has produced. My reason for omitting it is, that I am afraid of exciting too great expectations. All the other ores can be obtained in large quantities, but this ote is too rich to admit of this. At the surface it only appears in small shoots, but these may become more de fined and join at some depth, and form a regular and strong vein. Should this be the case, the most extraor dinary results may be realised, for some of this ore has yielded at the rate of 4501. per ton. A shaft is in pro gress for the purpose of proving this vein, and this shaft will also work the Goochland Vein, which affords a cer tain supply of ore . I h ad some of the earth removed from the surface of the ravine adjoining the Waller Vein : the gravel and sand will pay for washing, as it contains a considerable yield of gold. In conclusion, though I do not wish to excite too great expectations, I have no hesitation in confirming the very favourable reports you have of this property. I have visited several works of this kind, but I have not seen any other locality in Virginia which combines so many natural advantages as this very remarkable gold mine affords." The amount of bullion exported direct from Lon don during the week to last Thursday, was 20,176 ounces in gold, and 109,200 ounces in silver, all to the Continent. Very little has been doing in public securities, but upon the continued assurances that an amic able arrangement - will yet be effected between Russia and Turkey, prices have rallied. Consols have been 94g. to 95 for Transfer, and, from 941. have risen again to 95 for Account. The IN ew Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 95g to 96, and the Three per Cents. 931 to 94.

Th e i r in the long record of Steeplechase trickery and decep tion. So palpable were they that the principal parties con nected with them scarcely escaped rough treatment from the duped and indignant spectators. The Hurdle Race proceedings were particularly disgraceful. Four horses started, but the flag had scarcely dropped when it was evident that an accommodating arrangement-had been made, and that three of the competitors were not "in tended." Edward of York was the winner, although the Screw could have beaten him in any,part of the race, and, indeed, it required all the physical exertion of his jockey, Green, to prevent his obtaining the victory ! So clumsily was this "game" played that its purpose was immediately apparent to the most inexperienced turfite. The steward, Mr. A. Heatchcote, expressed his dis approbation and indignation at these proceedings, and he stated his determination not to allow Green to ride during any future meeting at Epsom. No bets have yet been paid on the race, and it is said that the case will be brought before the Committee at Tattersall's. The only way to give a check to these nefarious prac tices will be to declare all bets off, and thus disappoint the expectations and upset the plans of the jumping fraternity. But Steeplechases at Epsom will appa rently never attain a flourishing popularity. They were seemingly established by a few speculators, booth keepers, and encouraged and supported by individuals whose connection with this peculiar pastime is neither desirable nor honourable. The abolition of these meet ings at Epsom is a greatly to be desired consummation. Yesterday the proceedings commenced with a squabble, and as on former occasions they appeared to be regu lated by the principle of win-tye, or wrangle. The doings at Worcester now require no lengthened comment ; they were less glaring than those at Epsom, but hardly less scandalous. Some doubts exist as to the payment of bets on the steeplechase, but that the "first heat" did not vitiate the bets, in my opinion, admits of no question. Alth oug h the same number of horses did not start the second time as in the first instance, yet the original engagements undoubt e dl y stand. This opinion is justified by the decision which was delivered by the proper authorities on a similar case which once occurred at Goodwood. That staunch supporter of the turf, Lord Glasgow, has taken for a term •of years the extensive training establishment which recently belonged to Lord Ribbles dale, at Newmarket, where his horses will shortly arrive to be trained for their engagements. This gives the inhabitants of the town much occasion for rejoicing. Nov. 5. A FRESH MAN. LATEST FO N N IWN RUSSIA AND TURKEY. • HOSTILITIES ON THE DANUBE. Though the latest telegraph despatches, with news from the seat of war, are contradictory, they leave no doubt that hostilities have commenced in earnest. One states that, in a conflict between the opposing armies near Dam, the Turks retreated ; another, generally, that " the Turkish corps which passed the Danube at Kalafat" were defeated, making no mention of the place where the engage ment took place ; and a third, that after a serious conflict between Kalafat and Krajowa, which lasted two hours, the Russians retreated towards Slatina. Subjoined are the despatches to which we refer. An official communication from Bucharest says : Two thousand Turks appeared at Giurgevo and fired into the town. In a conflict near Dam many Russians and Turks were killed. The Turks retreated up the river, and the Russians followed them. At Kalafat there are daily skirmishes. The Turks respect foreign property under the Austrian flag. A private telegraphic deSpatch from Vienna of the 3d inst. announces the defeat of the Turkish corps which had passed the Danube near Kalafat. The Vienna Presse confirms the intelligence of the arrival of 7,000 Turks at Kalafat, and of the advance of the left wing of the Turkish army, be sides 8,000 of the Turkish reserve from Sophia. The vanguard, under Namik Pacha and General Prim, had a serious conflict with 2,500 Russian cavalry, between Kalafat and Krajowa. The affair lasted two hours, when the Russians retreated to wards Slatina. A despatch, dated Bucharest, Nov. 2, gives the following account of the attack of Giurgevo by the Turks : Yesterday 800 or 1,000 Turks appeared at and bombarded Giurgevo. A fight ensued along shore ; several Russians and Turks were killed, and civilians wounded. The Turks proceeded up the river. Russian cavalry with cannon followed in the same direction. Skirmishes between the out posts happen daily near Kalafat. Another telegraphic despatch from Vienna says : --.The Hospodar, Demetri Stirbey, is superseded ; he has retired from his Principality, and is already in Transylvania. The members of the civil courts are ordered into the interior, and all offences are to be tried by the Russian courts-martial. The war with Russia has been proclaimed at Belgrade by Izzot Pacha in presence of the Servian ministers and dignitaries. The Presse states, on the authority of Constan tinople letters of the 21st ult., that Redschid Pasha has consented to a fresh draught of a note, proposed by Lord Redcliffe, and based on the Czar's admis sions at Olmiltz. Redschid Pasha, is said to have given his consent after a series of " stormy" conferences. Accounts from Constantinople received through Vienna state that the Ambassadors of the Four Powers had apprised Redschid Pasha that a note had been prepared in common which would meet all existing diffi_culties, and lead to a pacific con clusion, and that, in the meantime, they wished that hostilities - would be suspended. Redschid Pasha replied that if a note were presented, in which the condit ion or basis was the evacuation of the Principalities, and if it embodied the sub stance of the Vie nita, Note, together with the mo difications added by the Porte, such a note should receive the fuller ;t consideration of the Govern ment, should be submitted to the Great Council of the nation, and. as a proof of the great respect of the Sultan for - the Four Powers, orders should be despatched tc) Omer Pasha not to commence hostilities. A private tel egraphic despatch from Constanti nople of the 24th. ult., after mentioning the presence of the fleets at Ids,mpsaki, proceeds to state that a party of Frenuki officers had arrived at Constan tinople, and that certain British officers had left for Shumla. A telegraph; despatch from Marseilles an nounces that a 19( 3rtion of the French fleet had ar rived at Constar tinople. The same number (three it is said) of En s lish vessels was expected from one day to another. The Copirte giitung's Correspondenz, states that the intended aCll ante of the Turkish troops on the road to Krajowa was unsuccessful. The Russians at first retired, i n order to gaits vantage-ground ; but at the mom .ent when the Turks approached they developed ;such an extraordinary superiority of forces that the: Moslems soon withdrew again to the shores of th.e Danube. There is no doubt that more or less impo rtant skirmishes have taken place ; and that these .have been magnified by reports into as many b: Lt ales is only natural. The .Nord De utsche Zeitung writes :—"Agree ably to letters received from St. Petersburg, under date of October 21, the opinion which prevailed there was, that; the Turkish war declaration had only been answ et red by orders sent to Prince Gorts chakoff, to the of fect that he should declare to Omer Pacha that the E mperorwasnot inclined to evacuate the Danubian p: ri ncipalities, and that the commander of the Russian. troops had consequently received orders to recipr ocate the hostililies of the Turks according to hi own discretion. It was therefore believed at St. Petersburg that the Russian army would remain on the defensive for the present. A proper war :manifesto intended for publicity, with a view to enlighten the people on the subject of an event wh ic'h certainly deeply concerns them, was not expect to appear. Such a consideration of the Governmen t:for the people is not usual in Russia. If a manifesto should nevertheless appear, it was thought it mi, gl it possibly take place when the Government ht is received intelligence that the hos tilities have ac ti tally and seriously commenced, or when Russia "has determined to assume the offensive." A letter from Constantinople of the 21st, in the Presse of Vienns t,isays :—" Lord Stratford de Red cliffe has mad a it a condition sine qua non, that hostilities shall. not commence until the receipt of the answer of tl to cabinet of St. Petersburg to the last project of arrangement. It is said that this demand gave rise to some very stormy scenes be tween him and the Divan, but at last the consider ation due to the Western Powers caused the latter to consent." The Breslau, Gazette states - from Prienna, 30th ult. :—"Negotiations have taken' place between Austria and Montenegro. Austria recommends the Vladika to obsorve the strictest neutrality, but the P • -ce thinks that his warlike people cannot be prevented from attacking the Turks, and he, more over states that he owes a proof of devotedness to Russia as a protecting State." The Hamburg newspapers of the 31st ult. states that several officers of Schleswig Holstein, who have not been amnestied, intended to go to Tur key to offer their • services to the Sultan. Major-General t David Lewanowicz Dadjan, the last descendant of the kings of Mingrelia has just died at St. Pete rsburg, at the age of 77. His re mains, after ha'v ing been embalmed, were sent for interment to tho Convent of Martowill, where his ancestors lie. The Presse of - Vienna states, from Constantinople 21st ult., that - the Sultan, on the advice of the Ambassadors of the Western Powers, has given orders that the, Turkish troops which may arrive at Constantinople, shall only remain there 24 hours. This order is said to be in consequence of some excesses having been committed towards the Chris tians by the Reads. The important fact of to-day, says the Paris correspondent of the Times, writing yesterday, is the telegraphic despatch received last evening from Vienna, which announces that a check has been received by the Turks in their advance after passing the Danube at Widdin. Several despatches have since arrived from the same place, announcing the same ; but they vary in their details. We have no authentic account of any serious engagement having taken place, any important action in which the fate of a campaign is decided ; it is only said that the Turks have been repulsed, and it is asserted, in contradiction to another ac count, that they have not recrossed the Danube, but still occupy Kalafat. It would appear that the Turks, instead of fortifying themselves in Kalafat, which is, or was, a position of some strength, advanced to K ra h ova, the capital of Lesser Wallachia, and th a t a d vance was pro b a bly what the Russians desired, as though the Turks might maintain their position manfully behind en trenchments, they would not probably make any impression on the Russians in the open plain. Now, between Kalafat and Krahova, which are about 30 miles asunder, the collintrY is perfectly flat, and is w e ll suited for cav a l r y movemen t s an d for artillery. The spot at which Omer Pasha crossed the Danube is one which had been many times traversed on former occasions by insurgent Pashas, and whence forays had been made into Lesser Wallachia. The operation was rendered more easy by the footing obtained on the 'small island nearly in the middle of the stream ; and the boats used on the river were each capable of transporting from 200 to 300 men at a time. Nevertheless there is little doubt that the Russians could have seriously impeded, if not Wally prevented, the Turks in their passage of the stream if they had thought proper. Their object in Ealing back to Kra hova with the line of the Chyl in front, was probably to induce the Turks not to stop at Kalafat, but to advance into the plain which has the mountains to the north, the Danube to the south, and the Chyl to the east. If such was their object, they, suc ceeded. At the approach of the Turks towards Krahova, the Russians threw out their columns to receive them, when, according to some accounts, the former, finding themselves in front of a vastly superior force, fell back skirmishing towards the Danube. There is no authentic account of the loss, and it is.thought that what has been said of a regular battle having been fought is unfounded in truth. It was rumoured that they had crossed the Danube in two places, but the despatches which have brought us these accounts speak only of Widdin. FRANCE. Several of the English residents in Paris have it in contemplation to open a subscription for the purpose of contributing to the testimony of the brave Lieut. Bellot. A meeting will be held for the purpose in the course of the ensuing week. A grand dinner was given on Thursday at the Palace of St. Cloud in honour of Queen Christina, who is about to leave Paris. The Turkish Ambassador in Paris made applica tion a day or two ago for a spot of ground, to be used as a cemetery for Mussulmans dying in Paris. M. Drouyn de Lhuys at once acceded to the wish of the Ambassador, and not only did so, but in timated that the expense of enclosing the burial place would be defrayed by the French Govern ment. The Ambassador went yesterday with the Prefect of the Seine to select a spOt for the cemetery of Pere le Chaise, which is to be exclusively des tined for the Mussulmans. This conduct presents a striking contrast with that of the Spanish Go vernment under similar circumstances. Amid all this din of war it is a curious fact that the opinion still is that the general peace will not be disturbed, and that the quarrel between Russia and Turkey will be arranged without any serious loss of life. Private letters from Belgium speak of King Leopold's efforts being earnestly directed to so desirable an end, and with great chance of success. A letter from Montpellier, of the Ist inst., states that heavy rains continued to fall in that town and neighbourhood since the 28th October, and had caused considerable damage. The entire plain from Bczirs to the sea is flooded. The winter sowing, fortunately, had not been com menced, and the vintage was concluded. The roads from St. Pons, Capestang, and Narbonne are rendered impassable. Heavy rains, accompanied by a violent hurri cane, fell on Thursday night in the departments of the Bouches-du-Rhone, the Correze, Ille-et- Vilaine, Mayenne, Tarn, by which enormous damage was done in the country. The Emperor, on the report of the Minister of War, has decreed that the clerks of the bureaux of the Intendence Militaire, who are chosen from the army, but whose position has heretofore been in ferior to that of other administrative functionaries of the War Department, shall henceforth form a section (the 4th) of the personnel of the adminis trative services of that department. The decree enacts that these functionaries shall be 280 in num ber, eight of whom are to be called principal officers of administration, 40 officers, and 232 ad jutants, and that a number of assistants, according to the wants of the service shall be engaged. It further enacts that the regulations relative to the recruiting, promotion, discipline, pay, uniform, and retiring pensions of the officers of the hospi tals, commissiariat, and clothing departments shall be applicable to them, and that the laws on the pen sions and condition of officers of the army shall also be applicable to them. The decree likewise minutely describes the manner in which the corps is to be formed in the first instance, and subsequently kept up. Another decree settles the manner in which adjutants en second of the administration of the hospitals, commissariat, and clothing are for the future to be chosen. The cholera has made its appearance at Havre, and several of the persons attacked have suc cumbed. Some days since it was known in Paris that the cholera had crossed the Channel, but it is only at present that the matter is spoken of pub lily. Immediately on the intelligence being made known to the authorities in Paris, the council of salubrity was convoked. The course to be adopted was determined on, and already the medical men who are to act in the different quarters have been appointed, with instructions to be ready to hold themselves at the disposal of the public in their respective districts. The Bourse was heavy yesterday, speculators declining to engage in operations for the end of the month whilst the present uncertainty continues as to the result of the negotiations pending at Con stantinople. The Three per Cents. opened at 73f. 75c., and fell to 73f. 40c. They closed at 73f. 45c. for thelend of the month. The Four-and-a-Half per Cents. closed at 99f. 60c. ; Orleans Railway Shares, 1,150 f. 50c. ; Rouen, I,ooof. ; Havre, 485 f. ; Great Northern, 850 f. ; Paris and Strasburg, 912 f. 50c. ; Paris and Lyons, 897 f. 50c. ; Lyons to the Mediterranean, 727 f. 59c. ; Western of France, 683 f. ; Bordeaux and Cette, 580 f. ; Great Central, 512 f. 50c. ; Lyons to Geneva, 495 f. ; Shares of the Bank of Credit Mobilier, 692 f. 50c. GERMANY. The Supreme Court at Bremen has at length pro nounced sentence upon 84 persons, on charges of being members of the Death Union (Todten-bund). Nearly the whole have been condemned to different terms of imprisonment. Korby, a cigar -maker, and Meyer, formerly keeper of the archives to the Common Council, are severally condemned to seven and six years' hard labour. The statutes of the society exhibit a mixture of ferocity and political demoralization not to be suspassed by anything of the kind since the first French revolution. There are several important changes about to take place in the higher military appointments in the Austrian army. Lieutenant Field-Marshal Count Degenfeld is to take the command atßologna, in lieu of Lieutenant Field-Marshal Prince Leich tenstein, who is to receive another post. There has also been much talk that General of Cavalry Count Giulay, who commands the sth army corps in Italy, will probably be removed to take the com mand of the Ist army corps in Vienna, in lieu of Count Wratislaw, if the latter should (as has been said) determine upon being put on the retired list. Meanwhile, however, it is said that Count Giulay will shortly return to his command at Milan. ITALY. The Princes of Orleans arrived at Turin on the Ist inst. The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa, of the 31st ult., announces numerous arrivals of corn in that port during the last fortnight, but quotes a letter stating that the scarcity of corn is so great in the Romagna that corn has had to be bought at Trieste for those provinces, at very high prices. The Minister of Finance at Modena has extended the decree for the free importation of corn into the Trans-Appenine provinces of that Duchy, which was to expire this month, to the end of the month of June, 1854. The Roman correspondent of the Messagre di Modena states that the Papal Government has re solved to suspend the operation of buying up all the paper money, or at least to continue it on a much smaller scale, on account of the precarious state of the corn market. SPAIN. Our accounts from Madrid are of the 30th ult. The _Herald° announces that M. Mendizabal was :augerously ill. _ _ The adju - dication of the timber necessary for the establishment of an electric telegraph between Madrid and the French frontier had taken place on the 29th. The Mirquis de Molins, Minister of Marine, had arrived at Cadiz, from the Ferrol, on board the Blasco do Garay. It being Sunday the Bourse was closed. MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal of this day.) A larger amount of business than usual has been transacted in mining shares this week. Money is more abundant, and the high price of metals has its effect in bringing speculators into the market for dividend stocks, and 'for speculative shares, at the present low rates. Rumours are afloat as to the failure of another foreign mining company, which, owing to the extravagant re ports received a few months since, stood at a premium in the market of 300,0001., on a small amount paid up. If what we hear be true, large losses will be sustained by the public. . The feature of the gold mining share market has been an increased demand for shares in the Australian adven tures, consequent upon the advices of the continued ex tram dinary yield of the precious metal in those colonies, as reported by the Argo. Most of these shares have improved in price, and are ste a dil y ma i nta i ne d at the advance. The Californian descriptions have also been well supported. Th e arrivals of gold have been the Eagle, 22,000 ozs., value 88,0001. ; Phoenician, 29,650 ozs., value 118,600/. In Iron and Coal Companies, daring the week, busi ness has been done at the following prices :—Rhymney Iron, 28, 27k , 27k, a t w hi ch rates the transactions have been numerous ; New South Wales Coal, 4 to dis. ; Mount Carbon Coal, to 4 dis. ; Australasian Coal, to 4 dis. In Miscellaneous Shares, considerable improvement has taken place, with a very fair amount of business doing. .~..:.. COURT CIRCULAR. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. SIETT V.

Her indisposition arises from a severe cold, and not fro= a dropsical affection, as erroneously stated. • The Earl of Cardigan left Portman-square yesterday, for Dene Park, Northamptonshire, where his lordship is about to entertain a party of sporting noblemen and gentlemen with the sports of the field. The Count artd Countess Woronzow and suite have arrived at Vienna., from London, en route to St. Peters burgh. The Prince Woronzow, a near relative of the Count, is to be commander-in-chief of the newly-raised Russian corps d'arntee. IMPROVEMENTH AT THE LONDON DOCKS.—Some im portant additions are in course of being effected at the Custom-house at the London Docks, by direction of the Lords of the Treasury, in order to provide for the newly-formed Customs established for that mart of commerce, and the great increase which has lately taken place in the business at that vast establishment. When the additions and alterations in course of progress are completed, greater convenience will at the same time be afforded for the conduct of the Customs business, and additional facilities provided for the public and per sons attending there to obtain orders for the delivery of wines and spirits, and other merchandise, from the docks. • ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.—A new operetta, entitled Pierre, by Mr. J. E. Duggan, a native of the Emerald Isle, will be produced this evening at this theatre. The libretto is by Mr- Henri Drayton. The overture is well composed, and forms an appropriate introduction to several charming melodies, with which the production is replete. THE GOVERNOR OF BERMUDA.—Captain Elliot, R.N., the Governor of Bermuda, has received orders from the Colonial-office to proceed forthwith to Bermuda, to re sume his duties. Major Byles, 56th Regiment, is now Acting Governor, having been sworn in, in consequence of the alarming illness of Major Oakley, the senior mili tary officer in that command.—British, Amy Despatch. THE LATE ACCIDENT AT AsTLEY's.---Yesterday morn ing, upon inquiry at Westminster Hospital, it was as certained that the unfortunate man, George Palmer, expired at one o'clock, from the effect of the gunshot wound. He had received an extensive laceration of all the parts concerned in the formation of the fauces, and also the dorsum of the tongue ; the muscles were torn away from the lower jaw on the right side. ALTEN MINING COMPANY.—The dividend declared at the meeting of the Alten Mining Company, held yester day, was 15s; per share.

THE WIGAN STElRE.—Notwithstanding that no al solute outbreak has occurred since Monday night, the district remains in a very unsatisfactory state, an d a t requires the utmost vigilance of the police to preven.t further outrages. What would result from the with drawal of the troops or of the police is plain from the fact that on Wednesday evening . five yards of the wall and the roof of an engine -house, at Moss Hall Colliery, in ince, was blown up with gunpowder, and damage to the extent of 101. done, with so much of secrecy that no clue has yet been obtained to the perpetrators.

The Master of the Rolls has appointed Mr. William Wright, of the Chancery Bar, to the office of Clerk of the Insolvent; in the place of Mr. David Drew, de ceased. This was an action in the case brought to recover 801. under the following circumstances :—The plaintiff was a foreigner of wealth, and the defendant a stockbroker. Some time ago, the plaintiff wishing to speculate on the Stock Exchange, he applied to the defendant for that purpose, and the plaintiff having made a deposit of 501., which was to be held by the defendant as security for good faith, the defendant undertook to make purchases for him in " the house." Several transactions took place between the parties, and ultimately in the early part of last year—in fact, the defendant having purchased five shares in the Van Diemen's Land Company for the plaintiff, he requested the plaintiff to call in the City and take up the sharer in due course. When the plaintiff, however, did 50,, - the shares were not forthcoming ; and as at the time he could have made a profit of 201. by the shares, he determined to have no more transactions with the defendant. fte, theiefore, called upon the defendant to refund the 501.„ and make good the 201. which had been lost upon th e land shares ; but the defendant de clined to do anything of the sort, and the result was the present action. .At the trial the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 80/. ; but the defendant con tending that he had already given the plaintiff credit for the 501. in fornwr accounts, Mr. M. Chambers now applied on his behalf for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be reduced to 201, • Application grunted. MARKET .NEWS -(THIS DAY.) COVENT GARDEN. NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.

It was expected at least that the poor boy was killed. As soon as the train reached Bishophtoke, a pilot engine was sent up the line to look after the boy, who was found uninjured walking down the line, looking for his mother. EMIGRATION FROM PLYMOUTH.—PIymouth, Nov. 4. —On Sunday morning the fine ship Omega, 765 tons register, Captain Potter, sailed for Melbourne, having on board 305 souls, equal to 274 statute adults. The fine ship Sultana, 588 tons register, Captain Tipp er , wa s cleared on T ues d ay morning, but owing to unfavourable winds she did not sail till 8 o'clock on Thursday morn ing. The Sultana takes out 253 souls, eqaal to 2141 adults. Both these ships are under charter to her Majesty's Emigration Commissioners. The greater portion of the passengers were selected by Mr. Will cocks, the agent to the commissioners. The Orestes, 558 tons register, Captain Cayzer, taking cabin passen gers only to Melbourne, arrived from London on Tues day morning, after a remarkably quick passage, and sailed yesterday morning with a fair wind down Channel. The Duke of Portland is on her way to this port to embark passengers for New Zealand. The following ships, chartered by her Majesty's Emigration Commis sioners, are all appointed to embark their emigrants at this port, under the management of their agent, Mr. Willcocks :—The Prince Alfred, 931 tons, belonging to Messrs. Pope, on the 9th inst., the Blenheim, 808 tons, on the 18th inst., both for Melbourne ; the Sir Thomas Gresham, 593 tons, for Adelaide, 21st inst. ; the Kent, for Melbourne, on the 30th inst. ; the Rodney, 877 tons, for Sydney, on the sth Dec.; the Sir Edward Parry, 575 tons, for Adelaide, 12th Dec. ; an d the Victory e ar ly i n D ec ., f or Ad e l a id e. The Tudor, 1,060 tons, one of the ships chartered by the Emigration Com missioners and which embarked all h er passenge rs tt , Southampton, put into this port on T ues d ay l as t, wind bound. She sailed yesterday morning. This is another proof of the advantages of Plymoufh over Southampton: Had this ship em b ar k e d h er passengers here, she wo uld have had no occasion, after sailing, to put into any other port. INSPECTION OF THE WESTMINSTER REGIMENT OF MILITIA. —The W es t m i ns t er R eg i ment of Militia was inspected on Tuesday last at Turnham-green by Col. the Hon. George Upton, of the Coldstream Guard s. The gallant officer expressed hi mse lf we ll pleased with the general appearance of the men, and although t he parade movements w ere on a very li m it e d scale, he con , veyed his sa ti s f act i on at their having acqu i re d a know ledge of the fundamental principles of the drill of a sol dier.
