It is not merely as a demonstration against the Russians that the ambassadors of France and England required the presence of certain vessels of war from their respective fleets in the Sea of Marmora. They were also required as a protec tion for French and English subjects residing or carrying on business in the Turkish metropolis. Nay, more, as a material guarantee for the safety of A.ED-UL-MEDJID himself. Nothing can afford a more powerful illustration of the excitement pre vailing at Constantinople, of the fierce exasperation of the Moslems of all classes—than the fact that Eng lishmen, who were once regarded as their best friends, are now looked upon with contempt and indignation. They feel that it is owing to the pusillanimous, if not the insidious councils of the Western Powers that they have been subjected to such deep humiliation—such indelible disgrace. That they have been induced to stand by, armed and in every way prepared for hostilities, while au enemy occupies their territories, without a single effort being made for his expulsion. They must have been either more or less than men if they could have borne the insults and contumelies heaped on them by the invaders, without an ar dent desir e for vengeance, not merely against the oppressors, but against all who participated in keeping them i n a stat e of inglorious inactivity, in preventing them from marching against the foe, and perishing honour a bl y with arms in their hands, and facing the enemy. And this is the state to which the pacific p o li c y of the " dear and excellent ABERDEEN" has re duced England among foreign nation s . This is the degradation which he has heap e d on the Bri tish name. Once the British passp or t__ it tower of strength in itself—was not necessary for an lialiman in Constantinople. He was surrounded no additional motiv e to by friends who required render him aid and assistance in any emergen cy. Now, the presence of an armed force is necessary for his protection against those who a short time since woUld have been ready to do battle a routrance, in his behalf. What a deplorable com mentary on the:proceedings of the Russo-Anglican Members of the Coalition, and of the results of their unstatesmanlike, unmanly, arid vacillating policy. But whatever may have been the cause of the recent step, we rejoice that it has been taken, and we only hope that the remainder of the combined squadron may have followed the vanguard, and anchored in the Byzantine waters. Their pre sence there, however it may have originated, will oppose an insurmountable obstacle to the nefarious designs which were alike supported by fraud and force. Russia has, however, flung aside even the trifling disguise formerly assumed. She has cast off the flimsy veil—and sta n d s re vealed in all h er na k ed atrocity. The l as t N o t e o f Count NESSELR ODE (a copy of which appeared in our impression of Saturday), plainly and unequi vocally indicates the intentions and determination of the CZAR-and proves that, with all his pro fessions of moderation, he never faltered or loSt fight for oven a single moment o f th e great object THE SUN, LONDON , MONDAN EVENING 9 SEPTP,MBER 26, 1853. he had in view. It shows, too, that the last faint hope that might be founded on the well- I meant suggestion of Lord STRATFORD—ViZ., " that the Representatives of the Great Powers of Con stantinople should declare that the Note of Vienna does not involve for the Sovereignty of the SULTAN the dangers which the Porte appears to see in it," is as public as any of those which preceded it. The tone and spirit of that document most clearly show that the CZAR is resolved to push his preten sions to the utmost. It affords, indeed, the best evidence of the sagacity of REDSCHID PACHA and his colleagues, and the impera tive necessity for the modifications intro duced on the part of the Divan, and proves that NICHOLAS and NESSELRODE interpreted the origi nal Note in the same sense as ABD-UL-MEDJID and REDSCHID PACHA. The comments on the two first modifications referred to are conceived in such a quibbling and special pleading tone—more becoming an Old Bailey Advocate than the Minister of a great nation—and the mere verbal context is in itself of such trivial importance, that, but for the dis play of an insolent and domineering spirit, an anxiety to browbeat and outrage all who may have the misfortune to be brought in any way in contact with the Northern bully, we might pass them with comparatively little notice, and merely allude to the third and substantial cause of differ ence. The language in which the former observations are couched—the deliberate humiliation inflicted not only on Turkey, but on France—the bandy ing of the lie direct, as well as the arrogance of the phases respecting the " condescension" of the CZAR, and the " ill-disposed intention " of the Ministers of the Porte, render it but too pal pable that an unflinching resolution has been formed to carry matters with the high hand, leaving no loophole by which the devoted victim may be enabled to escape. The third objection, however, opens up the whole question, and places the object of the EMPEROR in the clearest light. The nature of the demand was, that Turkey would afford to its Greek-Christian subjects all the privi leges and immunities accorded to other religious communities. This the Porte was perfectly wil ling to sanction, with the condition annexed, "be ing Ottoman subjects"—and the reason of the pro viso was obvious. A small body of Christians of other denominations, not owing allegiance to the Porte, might possibly have some special concessions which it would be impossible to allow to many millions of Turkish subjects without the practical abdication of all authority on the part of the governing Power. A small congregation at tached to an embassy might, for instance, have sundry exemptions, which could not be extended to others even of the same denomination through out the country. Russia, however, attempts to create a divided allegiance, to constitute an imperium in imperio, by which the authority of the SULTAN might be impugned and disregarded by every professing member of the Greek Church. It is easy to conceive the lengths to which an ambitious and unscrupulous Power would push the claim thus wrung by threats and menaces—or what might be the result if the sharp end of the wedge were once introduced. There would indeed be an end to the independence, we might say the separate existence of Turkey, which would be come the humble hanger-on and dependent of Russia. The mask being thus removed—the point in dispute being so clear and unequivocal—the mat ter must be referred to the only remaining arbi trament---that of the strong arm. When "right" is so totally disregarded by one of the disputants, " might" must decide the question ; and, as we have already repeatedly stated, the odds may not be so very great against the Osmanlis as NICHOLAS supposes, even if they were left to fight it out themselves, without aid or assistance from any side. During the former contest, the then recent destruction of the Janissaries, by order of MAH MOUD, and of the Turkish fleet at Navarino, para lysed the Moslem power. No efficient resistance was, or could be, offered ; and the Russians had it entirely their own way. Now, however, matters are very different. The Turkish troops are numerous and well organised, and, beyond all, are animated by a zealous and ardent spirit, that affords the most auspicious auguries of ulti mate success. They are determined to resist the invaders to the last—to proclaim, if necessary, a war to the knife, and to die one and all in defence of their fatherland. Religious fanaticism lends its aid to patriotism ; and never, perhaps, since MAHOMET unfolded the sacred green banner was there more intense enthusiasm manifested by his followers. They are prepared to render it em phatically a holy war ; and Russia, with all its semi-barbarian cohorts, may well feel doubtful as to the conclusion of its ill-advised and nefarious proceedings. As to the part to be taken by other Powers, we shall • not experience any disappointment if Austria should throw its weight into the ranks of the assailants. But if so, far better, as we have repeatedly asserted, that we should have to encounter an open enemy than be countermined by her insidious and her treacherous pretended friendship. From the first we doubted her professions, and if our diplomatists had acted for themselves, without waiting for her unwilling co-operation, matters would long since have been satisfactorily arranged. Now, however, she stands revealed in her true colours ; and whether she stands merely neutral, or joins her forces to Russia, placing all the minions of despotism on one side, is a matter of perfect indifference. We await, then, without apprehension, the results of the Imperial meeting at Ohniitz. We care not as to what may be the course adopted by FRANCIS JOSEPH and his advisers. We are prepared for any alternative that may arise. The English and French—aye, and we may add the Americans—(for in such a cause our Anglo-Saxon brethren, at the other side of the Atlantic, would participate in the conflict)—would bl oc k a d e th e i r ports, and destr o y their commerce. And what could they do ? No thing —literally nothing. They could not overcome the geographical difficulties that would obstruct their progress towards the English or French dornin• ions. They would be compelled to sue humbly for peace, to submit to humiliations such as we should never think of imposing on a high-minded but which th e unblushing arro g enefarious-use made of it s p ower , ae o us s foe a, th ; would render not merely justifiable, but neces sary, and which would bitterly expiate their pre sent offences. There is no question of deeper importance, of more heartfelt interes t, to man y famil ies of f reli gious principles, and strictly moral habits, th an that which was so unaccountably shelved during the past session, which was not mentioned i n either House of Parliament, although it had on many occasions been carried by decisive majorities through the popular branch of the Legislature, and had many able and energetic advocates among the hereditary law-givers. We can conceive rea sons for the virulent and unreasoning opposition offered to the " Marriages Affinity Bill , " for, un fortunately, religious bigotry and vulgar preju dices still prevail among men of all classes ; but it is more difficult to understand the strange apathy that has been ramnifested by Noble Lords and Hon. Gentlemen, who formerly gained well merited praise for their laudable exertions for the removal of the last and most intolerable restric tion on civil and religious liberty. That the one party should still try to fetter the freedom of opinion--should endeavour to compel others to coincide with their own peculiar views—is by no means surprising ; but that the other should acquiesce and suddenly relinquish their efforts—. that they should by their silence sanction the re tention of the foul blot on the national escutcheon —is indeed passing strange, and requires us to look somewhat beyond the surface for the causes of this extraordinary want of energy—this unac countable apathy. The manner in which the restriction was im posed, the way in which the assent of Parliament was obtained to the enactment which rendered marriages void ab initio, and rendered the issue ille gitimate, thus inflicting not merely a stain upon the fair fame of the parents, but inflicting the most serious injury on the innocent offspring, must be familiar to the great body of our readers. We may, however, briefly refer to the facts, although it be but the repetition of a " twice-told tale." Previously to 1835 such marriages were not absolutely void, but merely voidable. Proceed ings should be adopted during the lifetime of the parties, for the purpose of annulling the connec tion. These were taken in the Ecclesiastical Courts for the "souls' health" of the married couple ; and as that could not be promoted if husband or wife died before the final decree, the suit became abated, and all proceedings termi nated on the death of either, and the children retained their birthrights unimpeachable. Such suits were, however, seldom instituted —never, we believe, in the case of Dissenters, who did not recognise the authority of these tribunals, or re quire such paternal care for their spiritual wel fare. The law, though obnoxious, was practically inoperative, being so seldom enforced, and was, therefore, more repugnant to the feelings than injurious to the interests of the great body of those who might be brought within its provisions. Among those who felt that there was no divine law forbidding such unions, and that he was at liberty to exercise the most sacred privilege be longing to mankind, in the manner most conducive to his happiness, was a Noble Lord, the represen tative of on e of our most distinguish ed families, which had reached thehighest rank in the Peerage. When a widower he had married the half sister of his former wife, the niece of one of the most illus trious and influential members of his order ; and the legitimacy of the heir to his ancient titles and wide-spread domains depended on the caprice of any person who might think proper to separate those whom GOD had joined together, to take care of their spiritual welfare at the expense of the temporal misery of their graces. The matter came home to the hereditary legislators. It was desirable to provide against any contingency, and a bill was introduced to render all such marriages that had been solemnised up to that time valid and unimpeachable. The measure was made ge neral in its application, although really meant for a single case. It would not do to specify the par ties by name. In the Lords, a clause was pro posed to the effect that all future nuptials, within what was termed " the forbidden de grees," should be absolutely null and void, ab initio, and was carried by those who were afraid of endangering the object they had in view. It was, in fact, a compromise entered into in order to insure the success of the pro position at the moment before the House, and was hastily and, we cannot help adding, improvi dently carried, the parties believing that the re peal of the obnoxious law could be easily carried on some future occasion. That anticipation has, however, as yet been unfulfilled, and the enact ments thus passed have for eighteen years re ceived the reproach of the British nation—the blemish on the National Statute-book. After some time a Royal Commission was ap pointed, on an address from Parliament, to in quire into the subject, and a very able and lucid report was presented condemnatory of the law, and showing that it was (as it ought to be) habitually disregarded. A bill was subsequently introduced, which repeatedly received the assent of the House of Commons, but was as often re jected by the Lords, who, on this point, hesi tated not to come into collision with the co ordinate branch of the Legislature. Subsequently, in 1852, the measure was brought forward in the Upper House, but again contumaciously thrown out ; while, in 1853, the parties, who had pre viously taken an active part in the discussions, permitted the matter to rest without action or even notice, the reason assigned being " that Scotland was opposed to the change," and, there fore, that the Right Honourable Gentleman, who had previously assumed the management of the bill, felt that, as a Scotch member, he could not take any further step in the matter. On this point, as to the state of public feeling on the other side of the Tweed, we would refer to an able letter from a respected correspondent, which appears in another part of this day's im pression, and which places the matter in a very clear light. We agree with Sconrs that it is a mistake that the people of Scotland are com paratively indifferent on the subject, in which they are not so much interested as their English brethren. But even were it otherwise, we are at a loss to understand why the prejudices of any portion of the community should bind others who do not participate in their views or feelings. There is nothing in the proposed measure to render such marriages compulsory. No one to whose con victions they are opposed can be affected by their legality. It may still, if desirable, be maintained as a matter of Church discipline—if, indeed, op posed to the canons or doctrines of any Church. But why should Dissenters and Non-Conformists, men who think and judge for themselves, and will not surrender their right of private judgment to Bishop or Presbytery, be bound thereby ? Why should they be made amenable to sacerdotal tyranny, whether proceeding from the Church of England or of Scotland ? They have the power to make themselves heard. Why should they not do so ? They have already emancipated them selves from other restrictions and disabilities not less galling or untenable. Why should they sub mit to this, which is no less insulting than it is in jurious and unwarranted ? If they are only in ear nest, they will speedily compel attention to their just demands. Let them only call upon their several representatives, and let it be thoroughly understood that they will never support a candi date who will not only vote for, but use the most energetic exertions to insure its speedy and com plete success. If they do so, their hopes will not be much longer frustrated. We tendered this ad vice before the last general election—we now em phatically repeat it. The victory is in their own hands, if they do not neglect the means necessary for its achievement. RETURN OF ROYAL PERSONAGES TO THE CONTINENT. —On Sunday night the Vivid again left Dover for Tor quay, to embark from thence her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess Olga of Russia and the Crown Prince of Wurtemberg, who will proceed direct to Ostend. On her return from Belgium the Vivid will remain at Dover to be in readiness to embark her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess Marie, eldest daughter of the Emperor of Russia, who, with her youthful family, will depart on the 26th instant for Ostend.—Dover paper. THE MAILS.-SOUTHAMPTON, Saturday, Sept. 24. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam 'Navigation Com pany's chartered steamship City of London, Captain J. Cargill, sailed this afternoon for Gibraltar, Malta, and Constantinople. The City of London takes out on freight specie value 50,0001. sterling and 250 tons of general cargo. The screw steamer Douro, from the Levant, will be due at Southampton on or about the sth proximo. The Peninsular aild Oriental Company's steamship Madrid is about to be taken off the Penin sular mail line in order to be fitted with new boilers. Her place will be occupied by the Sultan, a steamer of 1,100 tons and 400-horse power. Captain Chapman, recently commander of the Magdalena, on retiring from the service of the West India Mail Company has been presented by the directors with a purse containing 100 guineas, as an appreciation of his character and services during the 12 years that he has conducted and com- H he arr E c e i te o ci a u e O r F is T s H tit a E t x ri c i H n E r oz e n h E i n rt . o — a t h l e e , w C h h a e rne mand of th e several ships of the company. of Suthe r l an d i s entertaining a distinguished circle of guests.

MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of cotttui at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at 4,,0 0 0 bales, all to the trade. The market was vel-y flat, and closed with a down ward tendency. In American, sd. to 5d., was id. below the quotations of Friday. The sales comprised 3,000 Amen can, 270 Pernam and Maran ham at Md. to 7d., 10fil Bahia at 6id., 200 Egyp tian at 6d. to 7d.) and 300 Surat at 3d. to 4d. per lb. In Railway Shares there was a fearful panic, and the market closed at the worst point of the day. London stock at a discount, and all the other leading stocks 2 to 3 per cent. lower. ' Wheat is up 4s. to ss. per quarter to-day com pared with last Monday, and other articles in pro portion. There is much excitement. At the approaching meeting of the Staffordshire ironmasters, it is considered doubtful whether any change will be made in the current prices, though the increasing stringency of the money market points to a decline. The steamer Europa has 170,000 dole. on board. The New York advices report a revival of activity and the Stock Market. During the week buoyancyn g in Sept. 9, the imports amounted to en 3,590,620 dollars, which, as compared with those of the preceding week, show a falling off. The accounts respecting the Cotton crops of New Orleans are very good, the season haying, it is said, closed upon one of the largest crops ever produced. The increased production, however, was met by a corresponding increase in the demand, and a better average price had been obtained by the planters even than last year, when the produce was small. Californian accounts state that great excitement prevailed in Sacramento owing to the discoveries of gold near the Slough. It is stated that multi tudes had taken themselves to the spot, and com menced operations. The markets at San Francisco were extremely inactive. The shipments of gold dust for the first half-year, as compared with that of 1852, show a large increase this year. The ship Medway has arrived from Melbourne, which port she left June 15, but the amount of gold on board is not yet ascertained. The Indiana, which left May 24, is also in. The Hooghly from Sydney, with dates of May 25, has 7,078 ounces of gold on board. The telegraphic accounts from India, in antici pation of the Overland Mail, state that no Austra lian mail had arrived at Bombay. This, if true, will prove a disappointment, as one was expected. The Indian letters will be here about the 29th inst, Those by the Southampton mail were de livered this morning. The railway meetings announced are the fol lowing : COSIPANY. Central of Switzerland..

The long experience which Sir James Gordon has had of the administration of the hospital, as well as the character and brilliancy of his war services, add strength to the report ; and there is little doubt that his appointment would give general satisfaction to the navy. His ser vices are as follows :—" Midshipman of the Revolution naire in Bridport's action ;' of the Namur off Cape St. Vincent ; and of the Goliath at the Nile. Lieutenant of the Bordelais at the capture of the Curieux and action with her consorts, 1801 ; and Senior Lieutenant of the Racoon at the capture of the Lodi, 1803. Captain of the Mercury at the capture and destruction of a convoy off Cadiz ;at Ortona, and on other occasions. Captain of the Active in the action off Lissa (for which a gold medal was awarded) ; and at the capture of the French frigate Pomone, in which he lost a leg, 1811. Captain of the Seahorse, in 1814, and commanded a small squad ron which ascended the Potomac, and obtained posses. sion of the city of Alexandria.

FALL OF A HOUSE.—On Thursday an accident of a serious nature, and one which, but for a fortunate cir cumstance, might have been attended with fatal re sults, occurred at Park Villa, Tiverton, Devonshire, to a house in the occupation of a gentleman named Hodge. It appeared that the house had lately been undergoing extensive repairs, and a number of men had been employed on the premises. About four o'clock on the afternoon in question Mr. Hodge's daughter was alarmed by a loud noise, which appear ed to proceed from the exterior of the building. She immediately informed her mother of the circumstance, who, on stepping on to the lawn, observed the walls suddenly give way, and the whole of the north wing of the building fall to the ground with a tremendous crash. Fortunately, the day was wet, and the men employed had been prevented from proceeding with their work in consequence. If they had been engaged in the repairs, as on the previous day, the conse quences would have been fearful ; for the whole of them must have been killed. The accident is said to have been occasioned by the building having been undermined, and the parties having neglected to shore it up properly. As it is, a considerable loss will be sustained by Mr. Hodge. GLASGOW, Sept. 23.—The demand for cotton this week has been limited, and prices were barely main tained. TER LATE FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE STRAND. - ADJOURNED INQUEST. - (T.HIS DAY.) This morning the inquiry into the cause of the late fatal accident, and deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Thompson, George Dunn, and George Rowe, by the falling of the house in the Strand, was again resumed by Mr. Lang ham, the deputy coroner, in the Vestry-room, St. Clement-danes. Mr. Angel, district surveyor, stated that on the 19th of August he went over the premises, and at that time they were sufficiently shored up for the works then going on. At that time they had not dug below the founda Lion. By the Jury—The party wall was sufficient for Mr. Thompson's house, but not for the new building. By Mr. Robinson—The house had stood several months without shoring. There was no shoring at the time of the Wellington funeral. The contracts for the building of the premises of Messrs. Smith and Co. were put in and read, as were also the plans and specifications. Mr. Abrahams -----I am an architect and surveyor. I was employed by the Messrs. Smith in respect to their works. I am also employed by the Duke of Norfolk as special architect to the Arundel estate. On the 3rd of August I ordered some shores to be placed to the walls, while the excavations were going on. Mr. Lucas appointed Mr. Rowe as clerk of the works. After some discussion had taken place upon the subject, the first thing Rowe did was to take the best means to secure the walls during the excavations. He removed the two shores I had put up without consulting me, but he put up three others in better positions than where I had placed them. They were constructed of pieces of tim ber 40, 35, and 36 feet in length, and were made of the best material. I had two other shores placed to the parlour wall. That was done in a very efficient way. There were besides six "jack" or short shores put up, partly by mine and partly by Rowe's directions. They were made of good sound stuff, which had been upon the pre mises before. They were placed between the other shores to support the basement wall of the next house, which was a very old one, built in the reign of Henry VIII. The works were exceedingly sound. The " jack " shores were placed where it was thought _ne cessary. They were 10 or 12 feet high. The shores in my opinion were quite ample to secure the building. By the Jury—What was your general duty ? Witness—To see that my designs were carried out ; that the materials used were of the best description ; and that the works should be conducted in an efficient manner. By the Coroner—lf Rowe had neglected his business could you have discharged him ? Witness—Yes, there was a clause in the contract giving me that power. The shoring was sufficient be fore the digging commenced. It was intended by myself originally to take down the external wall, and I caused the usual notices to be served on Mr. Thompson, who represented to me that he would be ruined if I turned him out of his house, and it was agreed to be left to the fiat of the District Surveyor whether the wall should be taken down or not. Thompson's house belonged to the Duke of Norfolk. On the 2d of August Mr. Phillips, Mr. Thompson, and myself went over the house. I told Mr. Thompson that the wall ought to be taken down, and I would not guarantee him anything about it. He said it had stood 12 months without any shoring, and begged me not to take it down. It was no interest to me to take the wall down, but I thought it should be taken down for safety. The District Surveyor after wards examined the premises, and determined that the wall should be kept up. I think all the shoring had then been completed. For a day or two before the accident I had a great deal of unpleasantness with the excavators, and found they had undermined a house, No. 4, Arundel-street, had undermined the shorings of this house, and had gone under Thompson's parlour. I thought the excavators had gone too far, and I spoke to Rowe about it. He thought also that the excavations had been carried to*deep, but said it should not occur again, and that no harm had yet been done. On the following day I found that they had broken through Mr. Thompson's cellar, and I again re monstrated with Rowe about it. He said it should not occur again, and ordered that some cement should be put in the opening to keep the wet out, and said he had satisfied Mr. Thompson about it. I said it was a very improper proceeding, and that it might shake the wall. I had a ladder brought me, and I found a slight crack. Rowe said it was nothing, and that it was not a new crack ; and I said whether it was new or old the building was not safe, and I begged him to apprise Mr. Thompson of my opinion. I told Mr. Thompson I must pull the wall down, as I considered it dangerous. Mr. Thompson said " Who's to pay me for it." I said that was all settled, the district surveyor would award him any compensation for any loss he might suffer. He replied that would not do, he wanted a certainty. I asked him how much he wanted. He said 101. I said—" Don't make a bargain, that is a very small sum ; you are in the hands of Messrs. Smith, who will deal liberally with you." Mrs. Thompson remarked that everybody said they were not safe, and I said "No one can say you are safe." At that time the party wall was sound, and I would have willingly slept in the front part of the house, but not in the parlour. A complaint was made with respect to the back part of the house. After I had the conversation with Thompson, Rowe said it was all safe, and with the exception of the parlour I think all was safe. Upon ascertaining the strata orders had been given to excavate 10 feet from the surface. If Rowe had known the ex cavations were being carried lower than 10 feet he would not have allowed it. He asked me to allow the under pinning to go on with the old bricks, which were quite sound. I refused, as there was a clause in the specifica tions interdicting the use of old materials. The jury here adjourned for refreshments ; and it was understood the proceedings would not be finished to-day. DREADFUL ACCIDENT IN NORIVICIT.-THREE LIVES LOST.-DANGER OF NAPHTHA. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] An accident fatal to three persons occurred on Friday evening at Norwich, at Mr. Smith's, chemist and drug gist, Magdalen-street, from handling naphtha by candle light. The naphtha and other inflammable substances are stored in a building separate from the other premises, and in the farther part of the garden, and it is a standing and imperative order that the door of the building shall never be unlocked after dark. On Friday afternoon the principal warehouseman, Henry Nichols, had an order to put up, of which naphtha proved a part, and it is remarkable that Mr. Smith had cautioned him three times that afternoon not to delay putting up the naphtha till too late. Nichols was an intelligent and very careful servant, but unaccountably had attended to other work till it was dark. He then, while Mr. Smith and some friends were at tea, took a ship lantern for safety, and calling a lad and a boy to aid him, as the car boys were large, went with them into the naphtha room. Almost instantly the cry was heard from some persons in the other parts of the warehouse that the naphtha room was on fire. All rushed out, and the first thing seen was Nichols breaking the window for air, en veloped in flame, and calling on them to save him. They could not force the door at first, the lad having so fallen against it as to wedge it fast. Having at length found something strong enough to break the window frame, they drew Nichols out at the window, dreadfully burnt, and soon after got out the lad, and afterwards found the boy, who apparently had fallen backward into a crate. Both these seem to have died instantaneously. A line was formed to a good pump on the premises, and the fire extinguished completely in a quarter of an hour ; one ten gallon carboy of naphtha, though its mouth was open, and several casks of olive oil, and the turpentine happily had not ignited. The building itself is comparatively little injured, and the marvel seems that so small an amount of damage could have been so dreadfully fatal. While the fire was being extinguished, Nichols was conveyed to the hospital in great suffering, where he expired on Saturday morning. It was a singular and unusual circumstance, that they closed the doors of the room which opens directly into the garden while pouring out the naphtha, otherwise they were so near the open air that they would probably only have been burnt severely without fatal consequences. The inquest, of course, acquitted all survivors of the slightest blame ; indeed it is evident that the precautions against danger were all that could be devised. The unfortunate man him self who on this occasion, perhaps for the first time in his life deviated from rule, was plainly the unintentional cause of the death of two other persons besides himself He could say but little ; he was able, however, to state . that nothing had broken,- nor the lantern been opened at all. It would seem, therefore, that the vapour of the naphtha, of which a large half-emptied carboy would con tain a great deal, had reached the light through the ventilation of the lantern, burst the lantern, ig nited the i nited the whole. Nichols le aves a widow, whois almost a helpless cripple, and w h o h ad been confined that illy with her third child. Ile was a most tender husband and father, as well as a most valuable and confidential servant. All he said amidst his excruciating sufferings was about " his poor wife and babies." LA FEST FOREIGN NEWS FRANCE. On Saturday the Emperor and the Empress paid a visit to the hospitals of Lislle, and held a review of tke troops stationed in that city. They after wards inspected the great industrial establishments at Roubaix and Tourcoing. Their Majesties re turned to Lislle at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and this morning they continued their journey to St. Omer. The Ocean Squadron left Cherbourg on Wed nesday f©r a cruise in the Channel. This squadron has been ordered to coast along the northern de partments and the Pari s d e C a l ais, and to enter from tune to time the ports of Dunkirk, Calais, and. Boulogne, at which latter place the Emperor pro poses to review the squadron. It is composed of the vessels Duguesclin, Jean Bart, and Hercule, the steam-frigates Pomone and Caffarelli, and the steam-corvette Roland. The Austerlitz, which formed part of the squadron, is still at Cherbourg. The Ottoman Ambassador came to Paris on Sa turday from Fontainebleau to have an interview with the French Minister for Foreign Affairs. A. courier was soon after dispatched to Constanti nople. Veley Pasha returned to Fontainebleau in the course of the evening. The Bourse on Saturday wa.§ exceedingly weak from the very commencement of business, and prices continued to decline almost without inter ruption to the close. The Three per Cents. have fallen 75c., closing at 75f. 80c. ; but the Four-and a-Half per Cents. were firmer, showing a fall of only 40c., at 101 f. 50c. Bank of France Shares are sf. lower, and those of the Societe Mobiliere 27f. 50c. lower ; the other bank shares are un changed. Roman has fallen and Spanish New Deferred it. But very little business was trans acted in foreign funds. Railway Shares are about 15f. RUSSIA AND TURKEY. Beside the note from M. de Nesselrode which has already been published, I am informed that there is another from the pen of the same Minister, quite as important, and in which the real designs of the Emperor of Russia are expressed without disguise. Such as this document is described it would appear to demonstrate the absolute neces sity of the modifications made in the Vienna note by the Divan, and it explains the motives which induced the Czar to accept, without remark or comment, as without hesitation, that note, as also the reasons of his refusal to admit the changes made in it at Constantinople. The Czar and the Grand Duke Alexander, heir to the Crown, arrived at Moscow on the 13th inst. On the 19th inst. the Chancellor, Count Nessel rode, and Baron Meyendorff, the Russian Ambas sador at Vienna, arrived at Warsaw. The details given in Constantinople letters of the 15th and 16th are tranquillising. The rejection of the Turkish modifications to the Vienna Note by Russia was known. The Sultan refused to sign a declaration of war against Russia. Accounts from Constantinople, Sept. 12, state that the public mind was in a state of considerable agitation. On the 10th, a body of about 40 softas, or students of the Koran, presented themselves be fore the Council, which was then assembled, and claimed an audience. On being admitted into the Council Chamber, they produced a petition signed by numerous ulemas and softas, praying for war. The petition was principally composed of nume rous quotations from the Koran, enjoining war on the enemies of Islam, and contained covert threats of disturbance were it not listened to and complied with. The tone of the petition is exceedingly bold, and bordering on the insolent. Some of the principal Ministers endeavoured to reason with those who pre sented it, but the answers they obtained were short, and to the point. The spokesman observed— " Here are the words of the Koran : if you are Mussulmans you are bound to obey. You are now listening to foreign and infidel ambassadors who are the enemies of the Faith ; we are the chil dren of the Prophet ; we have an army, and that army cries out with us for war, to avenge the in sults which the Ghiaours have heaped upon us." It is said that on each attempt to reason with these fanatics the Ministers were met by the answer, " These are the words of the Koran." The present Ministers are undoubtedly in a state of alarm, since they look upon the present circumstance (a very unusual event in Turkey) as but the commence ment of a revolution, and fear to be forced at the present inopportune juncture into a war. It seems that three petitions have been presented by these softas, one to the Sultan, one to Mehemet Ali, the Seraskier, or Commander-in-Chief, and one to the Council. The party of Redschid Pacha believe the affair to have been instigated by Mehemet Ali, who has been from the first openly and avowedly in favour of war. The two latter Ministers do not work well together, and consequently each would be glad of the other's fall. Should a popular move ment urge the Ministry to declare war, the peace ful and reasonable policy of Redschid Pasha would of course be at an end, and so would his services, while Mehemet Ali would become practically the chief man in the Empire • whereas, should th ese unhappy questions with Russia be settled by the acceptance by the Emperor of the note of Redschid Pasha, the latter would acquire thereby immense influence and consolidation of power, with the con fusion of all his rivals. The rumours of a peaceful termination of the question are undoubtedly unpalatable to a larg( body of fanatics, who have under their eyes only the spectacle of the marching of their own troops, and who, unable to judge of the power of other States, think that Turkey is invincible. More over, the conduct of the Western Powers on this occasion has undoubtedly shocked the feelings of the mass of the nation, who have lost all c o nfid ence in the good faith of England and France. The Ministry is much puzzled in their endeavours to ascertain how far the body of the nation agrees with the sentiments expressed in the petition, whether, in short, public opinion supports the movement of these softas, or whether their bold address has originated entirely within the walls of their mosques and tekes. Most of the old inhabi tants of Constantinople are greatly alarmed, h av i ng in their minds the recollection of former bloody outbreaks, but these were in the time of the Janis saries, and since their destruction no lawless move ment of the kind has been heard of. Accounts from Galatz to the 28th of August mention that the Russians were sending reinforce ments, and orders had been given for the 3d, 4th, sth, and 6th corps d'armee to ma rc h i nto the pro vinces. This will make up about 250,000 men, and even more, with the Cossacks, gendarmes, 41,c., which always accompany a corps. It would appear to be quite decided, that the Russians do not quit these Principalities for the winter. Their con tracts for provisions and forage are made for seven and nine months, and it is not likely this would be so were they expected to be recalled before the spring. Owing to the scarcity of shipping, grain was ac cumulating, and there was in store at least 200,000 kilos (about 300,000 quarters). Many Russian officers have been heard to talk disparagingly of their own troops and in R uss i a they were recruiting as fast as possible —every man they could get was immedi a t e l y en li sted ; and at Galatz, even, they talk of rai s i ng vo l unteers. The Vienna Presse, of the 21st instant, informs us that— "A decisive step has been taken in the Oriental ques tion. The Conference of Representatives here has re jected the propoEid made by France to send a Collec tive Note to Constantinopl e to allay the anxieties of the Porte. Graf Buol-Scha.uenstein declared that the Aus trian Internuncio, Baron Bruck, had received the most positive instructions to procure the acceptance of the note of arrangement without alterations. The repre sentatives of France and England declared that the most essential point in the whole matter at issue now was, to strain every effort to attain the signature of the un• modified note, and that Lord Stratford de Redcliffe and M. de la Cour in Constantinople were already instructed to that effect." Under the same date, 21st, we learned by tele graph from Vienna : "At the repeated wish of the British Minister the Vienna Conferenc e has occupied itself again in the last few days with the urgency and expediency of a collective step, and at last came to the resolution to have a col lective declaration made by the representatives of the great Powers at Constantinople to the effect that the Vienna Note in no way endangers the sovereignty of the Sultan, as the Porte apprehended, and which appre hension had given rise to its former doubts. There were not to be any further assurances given collectively." The maritime forces assembled at Besika, and in the Bosphorus, comprising the British and French squadrons, and shortly also a Dutch fleet, and the Turkish and Egyptian fleets lying in the Bay of Buyukdere, form together a naval force of almost unprecedented strength. The Retribution (British steam-frigate) and the Caradoc are anchored within a quarter of a mile of Therapia, the residence of Lord Stratford de Redcliffe. A letter from Malta of the 20th states that two corvettes, laden with provisions had left for the fleet at Besika, and that merchant ships were hired to convey from Tunis to Constantinople the contin gent, amounting to 12,0® men, which the Bey had placed at the disposal of the Sultan. The convoy was to be accompanied by the steam frigates . _ Shaaki-Thadi and the Medjidie • the former be' lon,ing to the Egyptian, the latter to the Otto man fleet. SPAIN. Our accounts from Madrid are of the 20th inst. The names of the members of the new Cabinet appear in the official Gazette. The new Cabinet met on the 20th, and its fi rst act was to order the seizure of two journals, the Diaro Espanol and Tribuno. They afterwards deliberated on the appointment of the authorities of Madrid and of several high functionaries of the State. General Pezuela was spoken of as Captain- General of that capital ; and M. Zaragoza as its political chief.

DRUBY-LAIVE THEATRE. The tragedy of Virginius was played on Saturdey night by the company now assembled under Mr. Smith auspices. The character of the Roman Father cou l d hardly be ex c l u d e d f rom th e present list of Mr. G. v Brooke's performances, for his admirers rank it awe" the best of his personations ; and, if we remember rightly, it was one which he repeated several times dur ing his former career at the Olympic. We have n othing to add to the opinions already expressed respecting th is gentleman, whose merits have been elaborately discussed, and whose precise position as an actor may now be cow sidered to be fully determined. His delineation of the Roman centurion on Saturday night was conceived in the same physical spirit as all his other deline3' tions, and the passages which produced the most nf' feet were those upon which he expended the grease t violence, or resorted to those sepulchral transitions ' 3l voice for which it would be hard to assign any natan t motive. As a melodramatic actor Mr. Brooke satisfi es all desires, and the audiences he most specially addressee are those the most easily influenced by the " E4llllO and drang" results w hi c h b e l ong t o t hi s peculiar 801100:: That he has a large auditory cannot be denied, but it belongs principally to the pit and gallery. No histrionic success could be more apparently real than the applau se which followed the fall of the curtain upon the third act of Virginius, after the interview with Lucius. Th e spectators were in the stormiest state of ecstacy, and th e popular actor was summoned before the drop-scene to receive a round of extraordinary glorification. T he vigour with which he represented this great Benu e was assuredly not unlikely to invite this vast burst of public favour, but it had little really to recommend it as an effort of art. The scene in the forum was chars° . terised by the same leading principle, though the delivery of an occasional passage in the low tremulone tones of deep and absorbing grief betrayed the lurking presence of true emotion, and urged the belief that Mr. Brooke, under other circumstances of education a nd experience, might have done himself and the art superior justice. Few stage voices that we meet with are so well adapted for the display of passion and feeling as his. In a calm piece of declamation its full, sonorous tones are beautiful; but it has been allured from its better uses by the verdict of vulgar audiences, who recognise only an elaborate "point," and are blind to the artifices upon which it is built. A greater contrast to Mr. G. V. Brooke could not be Found than in Mr. George Bennett, whose slow, pro longed, and mysterious style of elocution becomes a° monotonous as that of the other is bold and startling• Phis gentleman is the Appius Claudius of the present cast of the tragedy. He reads the text with the closest observance of its meaning, but he doles it out with methodical protraction that is justified neither by propriety nor effect. Miss Anderton, who emulates the earnest sentimentality of the late Laura Addison, make s an interesting Virginia; and Mr. Davenport is a marl', and impassioned Icilius. The remainder of the character° are filled in a common, provincial manner, and earn n° complimentary remark. COURT CIRCULAR. BALMORAL. SEPT. 23.
