RUSSIA AND TURKEY. By electric telegraph, under date of yesterday, from Vienna, we learn that the Turks are still in Xalafat ; and that they have evacuated the island of Mokan, opposite Rustschuk. Baron Budberg, the recently appointed Corn inander-in-Chief, is still in St. Petersburg. The Danube has overflowed its banks near Olte nitza and Giurgevo. Our information from Constantinople up to the 16th, states that about 7,000 Bosnian and Albanian Catholics have formed a free corps, and are about to join the Ottoman army. Another corps of Christians, Cossacks; is forming at Constantinople, from the descenda:nts of the Greek refugees in the days of the Czar . 'ma Catherine. In a Cabin ~t Council held on the 14th inst., it was resolves to reject the note proposed by France and GrPdat Britain. M.. de la Cour, late Ambassador of France, leaves on the 17th in the Solon. From Bucharest to the 17th we have no fresh ultelligence of the movements of the Russian army. The winter had set in, but still there was a pos sibility of proceeding with the military operations. The Turks had not only retreated across the Danube, but they had also marched their troops to som e distance from the river. The Russians, too, bad fallen back upon the interior of Wallachia. No news have yet been received from Abdi Paella, who had marched into Georgia at the head of 40,000 men. Twenty-five Turkish men-of-war have proceeded into the Black Sea. A Turkish transport, towed by a steamer, had a very narrow escape, having been chased by several Russian men-of-war. It had, however, safely reached Trebizond. The Constantinople correspondent of the Coma itztionne, in his letter of the 15th, says that four English frigates—the Retribution, Tiger, Niger, and Sampson, one of them carrying the flag of Dundas—were to enter the Black Sea on die 16th, to explore the European coast as far as Varna ; while a division of four French steamers, under the command of Admiral Hamelin, was to take a similar cruize as far as Trebizond. Letters dated a clay later (the 16th) state that the English division, composed of the above steamers, had actually entered the Black Sea, and had gone to the Sulina mouth of the Danube, where, it was said, the Russian authorities had detained a certain number of merchantmen loaded with corn. The French division had not moved. The Sultan is to leave for Adrianople earlier than Was announced. From Adrianople he is to proceed to Schumla, Widdin, and Rustschuk. General Baraguay d'Hilliers had his first audi ence of the Sultan on the 16th. M. de la Cour left the same day for France. These letters throw doubts on the recall of M. de Bruck, and say nothing of that of M. de Wildenbruck. The Pays confirms the fact of the departure of the English ships for Sulina, and says that it is not to be considered as an armed intervention. The following is from the Vienna correspondent of the Morning Chronicle, dated Nov. 24 : "Whatever opinions may be elsewhere entertained as to the fact that a part of the English and French fleets have entered the Black Sea, you may rely upon it that it has created considerable uneasiness in the minds of people here. The latter say that this fact fills up the measure of Western demonstrations against Russia to the very b r i m . Th ere can b e no doubt that the Empe ror Nicholas will entirely coincide in this view. In certain Russian circles it is thought the foreign policy of my Lords Aberdeen and Clarendon is not very popular in England ; that the present Cabinet at home is likely to be in the minority when Parliament meets, and that, con sequently, certain other members of her Majesty's Ministry are preparing for this event by urging on matters in the Orient to a crisis. A Russian nobleman of distinction told me plainly, 'lf the English want to have a war, depend upon it their wish shall be grati fied. If Russia is put to it, she will carry on a war for twenty years. You English may go and burn our sea port towns in the Black Sea, and even in the Baltic ; but in so doing you will burn property which, to an enormous amount, has already been paid for by English capital. You may destroy our fleets also ; and what do we care ? Our ships have never been of much use to us ; and better, perhaps, if we had never had any. Make the attempt, and we shall see who will hold out the long est. But, do what you may, you will find out to your cost that Europe at large, and English commerce in paxticu- IlLr, will suffer more severely by a long continental ar than Russia. The predominating influence of Russia at Constantinople is well worth fighting for.' The Name nobleman added : ' The policy of the English Cabinet is no longer what it used to be—that is, straightforward. A more honourable statesman than the Earl of Aberdeen does not exist ; but he is goaded on by other members of her Majesty's Ministry to acts Which must necessarily involve a European war. If the English Parliament were to meet at this moment, the, irresolute policy of the Cabinet would probably be con demned by the majority of the representatives of the bation, and Ministers would be in the minority. By Sending the English and French vessels of war into the Black Sea, Russian vessels of war may easily come into a conflict with them ; and what would be the consequence ? Nevertheless, the project of a Peace Congress at London is proposed by the Western Powers to the Emperor Nicholas. How can the latter have any confidence in the impartiality of their judgment of his demands on Turkey ? If it be thought that Russia will allow herself to be bullied out of her rights, it is a grand mistake. Russia will know how to maintain her position • she will accept the chal lenge w h enever th e Western 'Powers throw down the gauntlet to her. The sooner therefore the Western Powers show their true colours the better. The Earl of Aberdeen will probably resign if it must come to a European war. Lord John Russell will try hard for the Premiership—that we'know. But of all men, we Russians would be g l a d, i n th a t cas e, to see placed at the head of affairs, is Lord Palmerston, for we shall Prefer to have to deal with the bold, resolute, and ,/nanly policy of that statesman. On the other nand, if Turkey be so much more vigorous, and Possess so much more vitality, than it is supposed We gave her credit for—well, then, what need of a European war, and all the incalculable and horrify ing calamities it must entail ? Why not let Russia fight it out with Turkey alone ?' This, then, is the language held by one of the cleverest and most peace-loving men that Russia can boast of. I thought it might be both useful and interesting to your readers to be made ac quainted with the outlines of this conversation. Of Zourse, these views are those of a genuine high-minded Russian nobleman, who would shed the last life-drop of I . !ia blood for his oountry. As such, I have att emp t e d faithfully to reproduce them ; but I abstain from all a nimadversions hereon, which would ill become me under the circumstances of the case. I would only add that certain allusions were also made to the late unimportant fair of the Russians at Shiva, and to the circumstance that that frontier of British India would be safer in the vicinity of a friend than of an enemy. In short, true Russian blood is up. I see, therefore, but little chance at present for pacific endeavours in this quarter." FRANCE. At the hour of our going to press, the French mail had not arrived. We obtain the following by electric telegraph : Despatches from Constantinople of the 15th reached Paris on Tuesday for the Turkish Ambas sador ; but as his Excellency had left for Fontaine bleau, they were forwarded to him unopened. The Minister of the Marine has given orders to t:_oceed with all possible despatch with the Louis 44 V. man-of-war, of 120 guns , an d th e Ul m screw , Tamer, of 100 g uns , now b u ildi ng a t R oc h e f ort.

By accounts from Milan, it seems that the re turn of Count Gyulai, or the apprehension of that of Mazzini, or a mixture of both these evils, has been the signal for the most unprecedented precau tions against anythin g like surprise—such indeed as are only taken by troops in an enemy's country, and not always then. Guards are placed in parts of the town where no guards ever were before ; the numbers at the different posts are doubled. The soldiers so employed are secured from being over powered by any sudden onslaught of a mob by stout stockades ; even in the theatre the officers of the garrison have a pen so railed off for them to protect them from the animosity of the multitude, and a private entrance assigned them ; and to render security doubly sure, civilians are not allowed to enter the theatre without showing their passport, or carta di sicurezza, at the door. The illness of the young Duc de Chablais will prevent his Majesty from making his projected visit to Genoa on the occasion of the opening of the remaining portion of the Turin and Genoa Rail way, which is expected to take place about the middle of next month, but the Exhibition of Na tional Industry, which was intended to have been held at Genoa at the same time, has been post poned in consequence of the King's inability to at tend until the end of January. The experiments already made on the incline at Gioni have been most satisfactory. With two locomotives attached together, drawing a train of six carriages loaded with sand, which weighed altogether about 56 tons, and each locomotive weighing about 22 tons, includit4 the coal and water which is carried on the : - engine itself, a speed of 19 English piles - . an hour was easily accomplished, although; front the length of the tunnels, and the dampness of the atmosphere, the rails were exces sively greasy and slippery. The engines used were built by - Messrs. Stephenson, after plans sent by the Piedmontese engineers, and as this is at present the steepest ascent on any railway in Europe the result reflects the highest praise on all concerned, particularly considering the signal failure of the former engine "la Bavaria," for which the Aus trian Government paid so highly for crossing the Semmering, and which can hardly force its own crushing weight of 60 tons up an incline of 1 in 40. When this last piece of railway is open between Turin and Genoa, and the Susa Railway finished t o the foot of the ount Cenis pass, which it will be in a few months, it may he expected that this will become the high road to Italy for our migratory compatriots. On the other side of the Alps a rail way has already been commenced between Cham bery and Lanslebourg, and Mr. Henfrey, the engi neer of the Susa line, has submitted a plan to the Piedmontese Government for laying a horse rail way alongside of the common road over the pass, with carriages so constructed that they may be run either on the rails or ordinary road ; and this has been favourably received and is sup posed will be undertaken in the spring. In conse quence of the increasing trade of Turin, the Town Council have proposed building large warehouses for storing goods in bond, so that merchandize may be sent from the free port of Genoa under seal and remain in bond here, without paying duty until taken out for sale, ich is likely to be a great convenience to the tradesmen of Turin. THE BATTLE OF OLTENITZA. OFFICIAL DESPATCH FROM OMER PACHA. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 15. The following is the despatch received by the Seraskier from the Marshal commanding the army of the Danube, narrating the events of the 2d, 3d, and 4th inst., at Oltenitza : " The possession of the island situate in front of Tur tukai having been considered indispensable, I had effected the passage of troops, and in the space of the night of the Ist managed to raise tolerably strong forti fications. On the following day, the 2d, two battalions of infantry, three pieces of cannon, and a hundred o f the mounted police, were conveyed in large boats to the locality, with ammunition, provisions, and great coats. " They had scarcely landed, when from the batteries of Turtukai we opened a fire on a lazaretto situate on the left bank. After the first discharge the Russians quitted this position, and the imperial troops took pos session of the building, which is of solid construction, with valted chambers. Without loss of time four hun dred workmen, under the direction of staff officers, com menced raising fortifications, and for which purpose two thousand gabions had been already prepared. On the 3rd again other troops were sent to fortify the tete de pont. " As soon as the imperial troops had landed on the left bank of the river, the Russians quartered in a large village at about an hour's distance, turned round, and began to retreat. A body of cavalry was despatched to reconnoitre, and having encountered at Oltenitza an outpost of Cossack cavalry, they killed five, and re joined our lines with a loss of three men, We found at Touzla, on the left bank, a great quantity of boats, which were sent to Turtukai. " The number of boats at our disposal having facili tated the construction of the bridge, we were enabled without delay to place in the fortifications 12 large guns, which were brought from Schumla. "On the 3d, at 4 p.m., three battalions of Russian infantry, with eight cannons, a regiment of cavalry, and party of Cossacks, entered the village of Oltenitza. Our troops, posted within the works constructed on the left bank, waited them de pied femme. This same night I caused to be constructed a bridge at the conflux of the Argish and Danube, and flanked it with redoubts. "Yesterday, Nov. 4, at 6 a.m, we began to perceive the movement of the Russian forces. As soon as their march was well defined, I caused to be embarked and conveyed to the lazaretto a reinforcement of one bat talion. The evening before I had placed on an even ground a battery of guns calculated to face en h,umi any attack which might be made. The Russian forces amounted to twenty battalions, three regiments of cavalry, one of Cossacks, sixteen mounted batteries, and sixteen on foot. They formed i n or d er o f battle, with 14 pieces of cannon in the rear of twelve battalions, and the regiment of Cossacks in lines beyond the reach of our guns, and fronting the centre of our works. They ad vanced, supported by the fire of their artillery, and at the same time two battalions, with two cannons, came on threatening our left flank. Having commenced the assault, another stronger division—consisting of six bat talions with four cannons, and having in the rear three regiments of cavalry supporting and outstripping their left flank—took its position and formed in two lines, with artillery, horse and foot, into echelons, attacking our right flank. After an exchange of some cannon shots, the centre gave the assault, whereon they charged both our wings. The centre attacked three different times, and each with a fresh battalion—twice on the left and once on the right. "A well-directed fire from our fortress at Turtukai soon dispersed their right column—and the centre gra dually fell back after having suffered severely and half its numbers hors de combat. The battery of the island, also mounted with powerful guns, menzil top, and com manded by Khalid Pacha, did admirable execution on the enemy's right wing. The Russians advanced with coolness and resolution almost to the brink of the trench, and on this account their loss was considerable, amount ing to 1,000 men killed and double the number wounded. " The engagement lasted four hours, from noon till 4 p.m., and during this interval the waggons never ceased to carry off their dead, and twenty were observed heavy laden even after the conflict. With a view of facilitating this duty, as long as it lasted, we abstained from molesting the enemy and from firing a single shot, but found nevertheless 800 bodies on the field. A pri vate carriage, moreover, was remarked, and from the pains taken in the search we conjecture it must have been destined to receive the body of a general officer. " At 5 p.m. a total confusion ensued in the Russian ranks ; their lines were completely broken and their re treat precipitate. An hour later some few rallied in the neighbouring villages, but the remainder fled in disorder. Some of our men pushed forward in pursuit of them beyond the lines, but were summoned W i ck by trumpet to their own quarters. " Our loss amounted to 106 men. We found on the field of battle 500 muskets, sacs, cartridge boxes, equip ments, etc. " OMER," WANTON ATTACK BY THE RUSSIANS ON THE LLOYD STEAMER. DESPATCH, NOV. 2, FROM THE GOVERNOR OF ROUTCHOIIK TO THE GRAND VIZIER. "A messenger arrived from his Excellency Omer Paella with despatches to demand that I should send in all haste, and the better to conceal this step, during the night, boats and lighters sufficient for the trans port of some one thousand men, to be effected after sunset on Monday or Tuesday, 29th Monharrem. Ac cordingly, on the Ist of November, about twenty large boats and yietcks quitted port long-before break of day ; but the fog, low water, and dangerous banks did not permit the steamer and schooner to start during the night, and they left at sunrise. The boats reached Turtukai without accident, but the steamer and transports just mentioned were exposed to the fire of a Russian battery of two guns in passing before Giurgevo. They replied as well as they could, and suffered only some slight injuries, and among the rest a mate and sailor were wounded. Lower down they were again exposed to the Russian batteries ; and seeing it was im possible to advance, returned to Routchouk, and got under cover for repairs at Mamen. "On Thursday last, the Pesth, Lloyd steamer, also in passing before Giurgevo, flag hoisted, had also to suffer from the Russian battery, although the weather was so clear as not to admit the possibility of an error. Our battery between Routchouk and Vardenza fired some shots in order to protect the packet, which was injured in two places, and her chain broken by projec tiles. Hence, under the necessity of returning, she placed herself under our protection, and the passengers were landed. "During these incidents some of the inhabitants of Routchouk armed hastily and crossed the Danube, and set fire to the guard-house above Giurgevo ; whereon signals were immediately given, and the troops occupy ing the neighbouring post fled without resistance. These were all burnt down by our men, who returned with some muskets and ammunition found on the spot. At 4 o'clock p.m., after the return of the Austrian steamer, the agent of the company at Giurgevo sent to apologise, stating that the Russians had fired by mis take, and the captain, accompanied by the Austrian and Prussian consular agents, presented themselves before me to inquire whether the steamer might be considered safe in her present station. In reply, I observed that I could make no formal engagement, and that the vessel necessarily must be exposed to the same risks with the town itself. On this the captain resolved to depart, and at a distance from this place of about three hours, the Russians again fired on the vessel, which was defended to the best of their ability by our post guards. Finally, the captain was forced to approach the right bank, and throw out his anchor, and he sent me, the second in com mand to inform me of these events. " I have learnt by a despatch from Omer Pacha that the Austrian captain was so exasperated at these outrages of the Russians and grateful for our protection, that he informed him of a Russian flotilla being stationed before Ismail, and that the gun-boat steamers and other vessels composing it were so closely pressed together, that a single battery would suffice to destroy them. In conse quence of this the commander-in-chief dispatched Aly Paella, general of cavalry, to adopt the measures re quired under these circumstances. " The Captain Pacha informs me that a three-masted steamer, which I suppose to be the Bessarabia, and two others of the Odessa line, in war trim, were cruising off Varna." The following is from a correspondent of the Times, dated Turtukai, Friday, Nov. 4 : " I can scarcely compose myself sufficiently to write the exciting scene I have witnessed this day. At half past 10 a.m. we left our house, and walked up the hill on this side the Danube to obtain a complete view of anything that might occur. Omer Pasha having thrown a body of troops across the river, and the Russians being in force, an attack was expected. Let me try to de scribe what I saw. "At Turtukai the Danube flows from about west to east. It swells to a breadth of 1,200 yards a little lower down. Opposite to Turtukai is an island in the Danube. The breadth of the river from Turtukai to the island is 600 or 700 yards, and from the other side of the island to the north shore is 200 more. At the east end of this island was a battery, intended to protect the left flank of the main position, which consisted of a strong intrenchment commencing on the bank of a stream called the Argisch, coming from the north, and which, after passing the left flank, wound round the rear of the intrenchment and joined the Danube. The right flank of the intrenchment terminated at this junc tion, and the front of the intrenchment was perhaps 600 yards in length, and the space enclosed 200 yards broad. On the centre were some houses, which had been used as a quarantine station. " The ground in front of the left and centre of the intrenchment is covered with low trees and scrub, which extended to a long distance in front of the left, and to a distance of perhaps 200 yards in front of the centre. In front of the right the ground was nearly open. !" On the south or Turtukai side of the Danube the bank of the river rises to a height of 600 or 700 feet, and batteries were erected to cover the right flank of the Turks. The village of Turtukai spreads down the hill to the river. The country on the north bank is here quite flat for a long distance inward. "I must not omit to mention that when we reached the spot whence we intended to see the events of the day we came upon two officers of distinction, sitting upon the ground, with their feet towards a wood fire. These proved to be the Turkish Generalissimo, Omer Pasha, and General Prim. We posted ourselves on one side of them, a little in the rear. At about 11 a.m. the Russians marched out of the village of Oltenitza, situated about a mile or a mile and a half in front of th e right flank of the Turkish intrenchment. A cloud o f Cossacks led the way ; these were followed by four for- midable-looking columns and 18 or 20 pieces of artillery ; somewhat later large masses of cavalry appeared on the Russian left. " The infantry columns on the Russian right marched to attack the Turkish left, and halted in the wood in front of it. The other two columns advanced against the Turk ish centre and right. The space between these two was filled by artillery, and several pieces advanced on the flanks. At half-past 12 the Russian artillery in the centre opened their fire at a distance of half a mile or so. The first shots fell short, but they soon contrived to get the range, and fired into and over the Turkish position. The latter quickly returned the fire. Shortly after one of the Turkish ammunition-tumbrils exploded. At 1.50 p.m. the infantry opened their fire on both sides, and the Turkish batteries on the north side pounded the Russian columns of the left as they advanced; but the chief attack was made from the Russian right. The firing in this quarter was very hot, and especially well kept up by the Turks. In half an hour the attack was repulsed ; the Russians could not get nearer than 100 yards of the intrenchment. A second attack was quickly made. The Russian columns on the left threw forward a cloud of skirmishers, and attempted to advance, but they got so mauled by the musketry and the bat teries on the south side, that they quickly retreated in great apparent confusion, and at half-past 3 p.m. the musketry ceased. The artillery continued to fire for half an hour, retiring 4 by degrees. By .4 p.m. the whole Russian force had withdrawn, and the battle was ended. The Turks cheered loudly, and we on our side threw up our caps. " The Russian loss must have been considerable. As we looked through our glasses we saw the ground strewn with bodies, and during the fight the wounded were being carried to the rear in large numbers. The Russian force engaged I ventured to estimate at 8,000, of which 5,000 may have been infantry. The Turks amounted to 3,000. " SATURDAY MORNlNG.—Courier just going. The Turks affirm they have only lost 20 killed. Quantities of muskets and other spoils taken from the Russians are being shown to Omer Pasha. It is said the Russians have left 2,000 stand of arms on the field. Omer Pasha has reinforced his troops on the north side." SHAR FJ .1 EfARKETS-(THIS DAY). BI :ITISII RAILWAYS.

ALEXANDRIA, Nov. 20. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Ripon arrived here yesterday morning, and, after land ing her cargo, passengers, and about half a million ster ling of specie, for India and China, has taken in her cargo from India, for England, and starts to-day, with only about 25 passengers, for Southampton. In consequence of the Viceroy's changes in his orders regarding the prohibition of the exportation of the four articles of wheat, beans, barley, and Indian corn, prices have undergone great fluctuations in this market during the last 10 days. Between the Bth and 15th inst., when the prohibition was rigorously enforced, the wheat of the new crop receded from 38s. to 31s. per quarter, free on board, while the wheat of last year's crop, which the prohibition was never intended to affect, was eagerly purchased at from 40s. to 41s. per quarter, free on board. Since the 15th inst. new wheat has risen again to 38s. per quarter ; but the last advices from England have somewhat damped the spirit of speculation. Beans are at 325. per quarter, and in demand ; barley, 20s. per quarter, very firm. The Indian corn crop is not yet taken in. The stocks of wheat, beans, and barley, new and old, in the bands of the merchants in Alexandria, and which alone are allowed to be exported, are reckoned to amount to about 170,000 quarters. There are about 30 vessels loading in port, which may take off a third of this quan tity, thus leaving about 114,000 quarters, which will fill about 60 vessels, and about 50 vessels are known to be on their way to Alexandria chartered. Freights are at present from 13s. 6d. to 14s. per quarter for beans, and other grain in proportion, but vessels are not much sought after. In the ninth article of a treaty of commerce between Russia and the Sublime Porte, concluded at Constanti nople on the 18th (30th) April, 1846, it is stated that, in the event of the Sublime Porte being obliged to pro hibit the exportation of any produce of Turkey, a proper term shall be fixed for the enforcement of the prohibition, as also the extent of its duration, so that it may be pub lished in all necessary ports. As the treaties between Turkey and England and most European nations specially stipulate that all rights and privileges which the Sublime Ports grants to any one Power shall be equally granted to all, the English, French, Austrian, and other Consuls have been protest ing against the illegal act of Abbas Pasha, and there is little doubt that his Highness would have to pay damages for all claims that might be made upon him for having done so much injury to the trade. Abbas Pasha, in lieu of giving proper notice, and specifying the duration of the prohibition, at first ordered it to be put in force in 12 days' time from this issue of the notice, and afterwards wished to fix the quantity to be exported at 250,000 quarters, and with reference to this last resolution, which was notified to the Consuls on the 12th of October, the Government most unjustifi ably gave out that this quantity was to be reckoned from the Bth of July, or the commencement of the new crop. The broad basis on which the Consuls protested was, that the Viceroy did not act in accordance with the clearly specified article in the treaty. The French Consul. General, M. Sabatier, showed much determination in the matter, and informed the Pasha that unless the prohibition was taken off by the 15th he would leave the country. Abbas Pasha has felt much annoyed at being thvtarted in his plans, and attributes all the blame to his Minister for Foreign Affaiti, - Stephan Bey, who hal accorflinily been dismissed from his post. Owing to his wayward and arbitriry disposition, Abbas Pasha has no one about him who would venture to re commend any useful or necessary measure, and, if con tradicted, his Highness is very apt to vent his rancour upon his subordinates. The only active Minister the Viceroy has is Khaired deen Pasha, Minister of Commerce, now engaged in seizing men in the upper country, and sending them bound hand and foot to swell the army. The aversion of the natives to military service may be conceived when it is known that their pay is 3s. a month, which they receive only every two or three years, and then with a deduction of about one quarter of their due ! The new cotton is beginning to arrive freely from the interior, and this staple, as well as flax, linseed, gum arabic, sesame seed, lentils, and other articles the pro duce Of Egypt, will be for exportation. The amount of goods passing through Egypt to and from India, brought by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamers, is steadily increasing, and the revenue accruing to the Viceroy from this source amounts yearly to a very large sum, as the freight charged is very high. The provisions made by the Viceroy to meet this increasing traffic are not propor tionate to its wants, as the steamers employed are not sufficient, many are getting quite worn out, and a tio vernment official may have the use of a steamer for his own purpose at any time without reference to the re quirements of the transit, which often gives rise to great inconvenience and delay to the passengers. One of the anomalies of the transit administration is, that they will not admit of any wear and tear of machinery, boats, carriages, horses, or any other of their means of convey ance, but if an employe be once put in charge of any article, he is made responsible for it unreservedly. The present director of the transit, Abdallah Bey, an English. man, is, however, doing his utmost to keep the transit in efficient working order. Lake Mmotis, the southern extremity of which is crossed by the railway, has been rising rapidly during the past few weeks, and has caused some apprehensions that the embankments raised are not sufficiently high to protect the line from inundation. There is no direct stream running into Lake Mmotis, and it rises only two or three months after the Nile has attained its highest point, as the water filtrates through the soil to the lake, and reaches its greatest height only in January, so that until then there is no certainty that the railway will not be overflooded. Said Pasha, heir apparent to the governorship of Egypt, 35 years of age, having hitherto been childless, is shortly expecting tobecome a father by a Circassian slave, whom he bought at Constantinople at a great price ; and it is remarkable that his Highness has over come the prejudiced and contracted notions of Eastern women, and has brought out from England an English nurse to rear his expected child. Ismail Pasha, one of the sons of Ibrahim Pasha, has also a French nurse for his children.—Times. ADULTERATIONS OF FOOD.—It is very satisfactory to observe, that Mr. Slaney's Aot " for legalisi ng th e formation of Industrial and Providential Societies" has not been allowed to become a dead letter. In nearly all the manufacturing towns in the north of England com panies have been started for the purpose of providing the consumer with household articles free from adultera tion. The e fforts of Mr. Wakley, in the Lancet, have tended very much to promote these undertaki ngs , b y exposing th e frightful extent to which retail d ea l ers h ad carried thei r adulterating practices. By the constitution of these societies a safe guarantee is given for the purity of all articles sold by them. This method of business is no longer confined to the country :—" The Central Co operative Agency," established under trusteeship, in Oxford-street, near the Pantheon, is founded on the same bases, enrolled under the same law, and gives to the consumer like guarantees for the purity of the articles it sells. We have no d ou bt b ut that these Institutions must spread, inasmuch as they supply a want seriously felt by the public, which cannot much longer submit to such frauds as those which have been so ably exposed in the Lancet. REMARKABLE SAGACITY O F A D OG.—A gentleman o f this town paid a visit to a friend, a farmer, residing in the parish of Loddi swe ll , near Kingsbridge, a fort night since, and took with him a small dog, which he made a present of to one of the family. After he had left, the dog not approving o f new quarters , obtained his liberty by jumping through a pane of glass. The poor animal found its way back, a distance of 23 miles, to its hom e i n S tonehouse on' Wednesday last, and in stantly fell fainting on the floor, it being reduced to a mere skeleton. The sagacity is the more surprising as the dog was taken up by rail, and, of course, could not see the road by which to r eturn.—P/2/mouth , Mail. E XTRAORDINARY SUICIDE.—On Sunday, about mid night, as old man, 84 years of age, named John Beauty man, residi ng i n N ew G e orge-street, Hull, committ e d suicide b y throwing himself out of his bed-room, a distance of about 50 feet from the ground. It is an ex traordinary fact that, to complete his purpose, the old man had forced himself through a square of glass in his bed-room window, about 10 inches wide and 14 inches long. In jumping, some of the glass fell on the pro jecting stone of the window below, and aroused the old man's attendant, who immediately ran up stairs, but too late to render assistance. At an inquest held on the body on Monday, a verdict was returned in accordance with these facts.

Our accounts from Madrid are up to the 24th. It is generally believed that a Ministerial crisis is imminent, owing, among other things, to the conflict brought about between the Government and the Senate, in consequence of the railroad bill brought into the Congress by the former. A law which was passed in 1837, to fix and regulate the relations between the two Chambers, contains an article which states that " while any project of law is pending in one of the co-legislative bodies, no proposition on the same subject can be made in the other body." In March last a general railway bill was brought into the Senate, and is still pend ing there ; and the Duke of Rivas intended on the 22d to have brought forward a proposition founded on the article above quoted ; but he did not do so, because the Marquis of Viluma, presi dent of the Senate, taking the same view of the case, announced that as the railway bill of last session was pending in the Senate, the senators would meet in sections to-day to appoint a com mittee upon it. It was thought that the Government would withdraw the bill from the Congress, rather than come into collision with the Senate ; but at a Council of Ministers, it was resolved to persevere with the measure, and the dissolving of the Senate, and forming another on a different principle was talked of. In the sections of the Congress, the Government had a majority in most of them. The Opposition claim three presidents out of the seven ; and lead ing members of the Opposition were returned upon the different committees elected. It is expected that Senor Cortina will bring for ward the constitutional question as regards the railroad bill before the Congress, in opposition to the course taken by the Government. Senor Doral's affair respecting the coal contract was re ferred to a special committee, on the motion of Senor Bermudez de Castro ; and the Minister of Marine promised to produce the whole expedients on the subject. Neither the Senate nor the Congress sat on the 23d. General Navarez leaves for Aranjuez, en route, it is said, for Loja. A Council of Ministers was summoned for the 23d, at eleven, at the Home-office. _ _ The new bill to regulate the Bolsa legalise opera tions for time, if effected through Bolsa agents. PORTUGAL. The news from Portugal, received at Madrid on the 23d, is of a rather unpromising nature. In a letter from Orense, Galicia, it is said that a rising has taken place at Oporto against the regency of the King-Consort ; and the Clamor Public° has a letter from Badajoz, dated the 21st inst., which states that the 13th Regiment of Infantry has risen in insurrection, in the direction of the Douro, and proclaimed Don Miguel ; and that Miguelites of note had already brought many re cruits to their ranks. • It is an unfortunate fact that (however unjustly) the King-Consort has always been unpopular in Portugal, and perhaps the best thing that could now be done would be for the Portuguese Cortes to proclaim the young Prince (Don Pedro V.) of age ; he is upwards of sixteen, and has received an excellent education, and, above all, is Portuguese, which, like charity, covers a multitude of sins in that country, which is particularly averse to being governed by foreigners ; in which antipathy would probably consist a great part of Don Miguel' s chance of success, if an insurrection has already commenced in his favour. AUSTRIA. From Vienna, under date of the 25th, we learn that it is positively asserted that Count Buol- Schauenstein will retain office as Minister for Foreign Affairs. The ex-Consul of Russia at Bel grade has arrived at Vienna. GREECE. Dates from Athens up to the 17th state that the first session of the fourth legislative period is opened by royal decree. A new journal has been founded, with the chief object of calling the Greek race to a sense of its high destiny in the present crisis. - The Patriarch of - Constantinople had addressed a letter to the Holy Synod of Athens, announcing his elevation, and expressing his desire to maintain friendly relations with the Hellenic Church. SWEDEN. Adviaes from Stockholm state that the members of the Commercial Union at Stockholm have unani mously agreed upon sending in a petition to the King for a thorough revision of the customs laws. The petitioners point out the desirability of a very low tariff on all raw materials and all articles of food, of the repeal of all prohibitory laws, and of the introduction of duties according to measure and weight, instead of ad valorem. SWITZERLAND. The Grand Council of the Canton of Neufchatel Unanimously voted, on the 23d, the concession of a railway from Col des Roches, near Lode, passing through La Chaux de Fonds and the industrial dis tricts of Jura, to Bienne, where it is to communl cate with the railways of Central Switzerland. CLOSING OF GRAVEYARDS.—The Gazette contains several orders in council, commanding the closing of a great number of the metropolitan graveyards. There is also an order that only one body should be interred in each grave of the Mile-end Cemetery. The orders are issued under the Public Health Protection Act. THE EARLY CLOSING MOVEMENT IN THE METRO POLIS.—On Monday last the cheesemongers' shops throughout the metropolis, according to the regulations adopted at their recent meeting, Were c l ose d at n i ne o'clock in the evening, and will henceforth be closed at the same hour (Saturday nights excepted). The grocers, butchers, and other tradesmen have also determined to adopt the same system, so as to afford a little leisure time to their men. The linendrapers, mercers, tailors, hatmakers, shoemakers, milliners, and others now close early, some at seven o'clock and eight p.m., as well as stationers, booksellers, , • , 04, „ PREFERENCE SHARE Aberdeen I Do., No. 2, 7 p. c Blyth & Tyne 10 per, ct. pref.

The principal dimensions of the Henry Moore are : Length of deck, 188 4-10 feet ; breadth of midships, 32 6-10 feet ; d epth of hold, 22 4-10 feet ; length of poop, 43 1-10 feet ; breadth of poop, 27 feet. Her length over all is thus about 231 feet, and her tonnage is 1,007 new measurement—aroma Advertior. 30 20 1 40 1 10 1 1 6i 9} par • • • ..•••••1 I POLISH ANNIVERSdRY MEETING'. _;s , IThe anniversary meeting in commemoration of the Polish Rovolution of 1830 was held last night in the Hanover-square Rooms. Mr.Worcell, a Pole, presided.. It had been announced that the meeting, which was called by the Polish Central Democratic Committee, would be held with the assistance of the English, French, Italian, German, Hungarian, Russian, and other patriots. The principal room was filled by an audience consisting of foreigners, who appeared to be mainly of the middle classes, and among whom were a good many ladies. The Secretary (Mr. Linton) read the address of the Polish Democratic Committee, from which it appeared that the motive of their present proceedings was the new era which the passage of the Danube by the Turks ap peared to be opening for the oppressed and downtrodden peoples of Europe. When the people of Poland were established in the full possession of their political and national rights, then would this anniversary become a grand national festival. It was for the eldest and most aggrieved of victims to call to her sister nations, " The hour of deliverance strikes." Th ere was a manifestation of life in the shadow of death, and side by side with the Poles were men who had fought at the Hotel de Ville, and men who at Vienna, Dresden, an d C ar l sruhe h ad made kings doff their hats to the people's royal will. There were sons of free democratic Russia who had en tered into alliance with democratic Poland ; and united also in this fraternal gathering of nations were Englishmen who believed in international duties as well as in national I rights. The season for mere words was past. Poland began by laying down her pledge in the revolution of 1790 and the events which had followed. Poland was ready to complete the work which 23 years ago she boldly commenced. Now that war was begun let them beware of an untimely peace,—let them beware of the wounded wolf, which if not killed would kill them ; and the expectation was expressed that when Poland rose again she would have but to congratulate Europe on the final conquest for liberty for all. The address was read in Polish and in French by Mr. L. Zienkowics and Dr. P. Darosz. M. A. HEuzeN addressed the meeting in French, de nouncing the Emperor of Russia as the oppressor of Poland, the aggressor of Turkey, an d a man without any great capacity or talent. He alluded amid cheers to the cause of the Republique deniocratique et sociale, and concluded his address-by expressing a desire to see Poland independent and Russia froo. Mr. LINTON asked why an Englishman stood among refugees to speak for European freedom ? Because, while there were men in England who held the faith of Milton and of Cromwell, England would not be divorced from Europe. If England would speak that one word " war" earnestly, the hopes of freedom would be sure— war against the Czar, against despotism, against wrong. If they were to take Richard Cobden's word they would abandon their duty. With a Court which was publicly kin and kind to every rascal Royalty in Europe—(applause) —with such vice-royalties as Aberdeen, Palmerston, and Russel, petty intriguers, who had not the manliness to be anything except the tools of Austria and the Czar, it would seem con sistent that the whole land should be cowardly to the core. It was peacemongering shabbiness of one kind or other that had made England seem nothing but a nest of sorry vermin. This was not a nation of dastards. There was an honest heart under the worst coat of Eng lish working men. He challenged contradiction to the statement that their voice was unanimous for war —for war against the Czar and for European freedom. Every patriot soul in England, he believed, was anxious for that war. If our rulers durst ask the nation's will, the word " war" would be so thundered back that the reverbera tion would shake them from their seats. (Cheers.) H e should be sorry to blush too much for his country before the leaders of insurrectionary Europe, but he would have our rulers believe that England was beginning to think of what her duty was, to see that interest was but the follower of duty, to see the tricks that had been played in her name, dishonouring her through Europe—to see that those Vienna treaties were conspiracies against Eng land too. The mangled limbs of Poland would yet be brought together. " War"— he knew as well as Cobden or Aberdeen what that meant. He knew that it meant war against Austria and Prussia too, insurrection in Po land, Italy, and Hungary, convulsion in Europe, shatter ing the Czar and the Pope, and the imperial tyrants of every name—the enfranchisement of all peoples. It meant a Polish nation and a Russian nation ; it meant that Germany should be rid of her hydra•headed mo narchy, that Mazzini should be again at Rome, that France should be gloriously avenged for her present ignominy, that England should be worthy of what. England was. It meant certain means of carrying out that war ; it meant that there must be a fleet, not only in the Black Sea, but in the Baltic ; it might mean the bombardment of St. Petersburg, and every honest means of carrying the war to the only honest issue for the overthrow of Euro pean despotism. It was because he so understood the term that, in the name of English democracy, he dared to add his voice—war to the Czar—life and freedom to Poland, Hungary, Italy, France, Germany, and England —for even we had not all the freedom we could desire. Would he were trumpet-tongued, that he might raise through the land the cry " God speed the European Republic." This anniversary meeting was held in Lon don; he should say "May the next be held in Warsaw." Mr. RuGE then addressed the meeting in German, Dr. P. DAROSZ in French, and Dr. RONEY (a Hungarian) in English and in Latin. The Secretary then read a letter from M. Mazzini, stating that nothing but illness could have prevented him from being present ; but he was hoarse, neuralgic, feverish, coughing, unable to take the least part in the proceedings. Ire expressed his confidence that one of these days they would conquer together. He urged them not to narrow the question to the proportions of an interest. If they spoke of duty they were sure to have their appeal responded to ; there was still in the hearts of every English statesman a spark of that fire which burnt in the hearts of Milton and Cromwell. He recommended that they should be told their actual duty was war ; and let the war be the war of England, not of Lord Clarendon and Lord Aberdeen. A foreign gentleman was here introduced to the meet ing as a friend of M. Mazzini, and delivered an address in French. He said, notwithstanding all they witnessed they must be satisfied that Poland was dead, for diplo macy had assured them of that fact. (Cheers and laughter.) It was once said in memorable words that " Order reigns at Warsaw ;" but the order that now ' reigns there was the order of reaction, which was, in fact, disorder—it was the order of the scaffold and of exile. Force took the place of right, and vengeance of justice. (Cheers.) A short time back there were great revolu tions and great successes. Italy, Hungary, Austria fried to break their chains, after France had proclaimed the great word—" Republic." But afterwards they had seen their countrymen in chains, and sent to exile. What was the reason ? Was it that their cause was not just ? No ;it would be blasphemy to say that. The reason was that men, who had merited all gratitude from the democracy for the sacrifices they had made, and the good they intended, had nevertheless committed great faults. Revolution, unless its necessary conse quences were freely accepted and acted up to, only pre pared the way to despotism. Revolution should combat the privileges of authority as well as the privileges of capital. They might call that Socialism, but it was good. (Cheers.) He trusted that they would all profit by experience, and that in future there would be a real solidarity among the people - of different nations, for the purpose of punishing their oppressors. Revolution was called dis or d er. I t m i ght be so, b u t th e on l y way to finish with disorder was to make revolution. (Cheers.) Therefore it was that he wished for revolution, though its permanent•;;:ss involved the sad necessity of the guillotine. (Great cheering.) Mr. J. WATSON stated that he represented the work ing classes, and that he stood there as an old Chartist prisoner for conspiracy against our Sovereign Lady the Queen. In every large town of England he knew the working men, to whose sympathy with Poland he bore his testintony. M. LSD ROLLIN then p r esented himself, and was received with general applause. When the cheering had subsided, ho addressed th e assembly in a rapidand animated manner, using the French language. He began by observing that for the last two years it seemed that the course of events in the world had been governed by a sort of fatality, and that all human combinations had been thwarted by some mysterious hand. A short • time back there was the grand spectacle of all the nations of Europe struggling to be free ; but now, in • Poland, Hungary, Italy, and everywhere else on the continent, there was nothing but the silence of death. However, a question had been unexpectedly raised in the heart of Europe by a man—the Czar—who styled himself the Son of God, in the same manner as in an cient times Heliogabalus and Alexander the Great pre tended to Divine origin ' • yet history retained the recol lection that the father and the brother of this Nicholas both died mad. What was required to restore to man his strength and dignity ? Neither diplomacy nor Congresses could do that, but only freedom. War was imminent, because Nicholas was compelled a of therefore t o regain the p resti g e he had los t by the recent r;defeats of his arm y . War was also necesa r r s y nchdr e t e : las N ap oleon,es . That for was was exhausted waa n d u b money,e, there pretex t was wanted to place taxatio n on the i wou ld be, not Congresses, but war ; an d on the first can s non fired telling h seriously onis dear theer brother Napoleon wo being de i n n t g er Italy, of Austria that it was not his intention to take only to hold it while Austria dealt with Hungary. Italy f rom hi m , b u t (Laughter.) What w ou ld b e th The troops of th e Sultan would e conseq uences of war not, and he (M. L e d ru Rollin) hoped they would be vie gary and Poland would that took place F become free, and the moment • • France would rise as one man in de. fence of right an d justice. Supposing, however, the Turks conquered, and Nicholas victorious, then Napo leon would propose to him to maintain the despotic principle in Europe, and the continental blockade would be the result for isolated England. What would the classes of England then do ? They would take to de mocracy ; so that whether the Turks were victorious or Conquered liberty to the world must be the result. (Great cheers.) After a few words from M. E. Smanzwzcs, a Pole, thanking the auditors for their presence and sympathy, the proceedings, which had been conducted with the greatest unanimity throughout, concluded.
