THEATRE ROYAL, DRURY-LANE.-THIS EVENING.—Mr. E. T. SMITH, Lessee, begs emphatically to acknowledge the almost unparalleled support with which his en deavours to resuscitate the national drama on the boards of old Drury have been reciprocated by the overflow of admiring and dis criminating audiences, who have nightly hailed the appearance of Mr. G. V. Brooke in the varied Shaksperian and other illustrations of the national drama, which that eminent actor has had the honour to demonstrate. The engagement of Mr. Brooke as a matter of necessity has expired, and another and very different field of ope rations presents itseifte the manager's enterprise, in catering for the tastes and requirements of his patrons, the British public. In fur therance of these objects, Mr. Smith has infinite pleasure in an nouncing the engagement of a galaxy of EQUESTRIAN TALENT. never before assembled conjunctively, even in this, the Metropolis of Nations. The classical development of the Hippodramatic Art will, by the combined excellence of the artists engaged, obtain a triumph unmatched in the history of such performances. Not only has no expense been spared, but, in making arrangements, a wise discretion, the result of a deliberative council in science, has been observed in the selection of distinguished public favourites, as well as meritorious candidates for London approbation. Earnestly but re spectfully soliciting a continuation of that support, which he grate fully recognises, he does himself the honour of submitting the fol lowing programme, in confirmation of the integrity of his address and intentions :— Directors—HERNANDEZ and EATON STONE. Madame Pauline Newsome, the first horsewoman in the world, from Franconi's Cirque, Paris; 3ladlle. Newsome and Madlle. Ella, principal Equestrians in all the American Amphitheatres ; Madlie. Zameson ; Stokes' American Wonders, Ella and Leon; Mes dames Violette, Fontaine, Le Place, Guerriere, Fabian, and Lucille; the youthful Hernandez, who, for grace, agility, and fearless daring, is the very constellation in the hippodramatic hemi sphere ; his feats are miraculous ; Eaton Stone, his first appear ance in London since the great Exhibition, in which year, at this theatre he made so wondrous a!sensation—he confronts, in a mar vellous manner, the wild horse of the Prairies; James Newsome, the mast accomplished British horseman 01 the day, reflecting a glory ea the sports of old England ; the Brothers Elliott, in gym nastic exercises without rival ; G. Ryland, Russell, Zamesou, and Loraine, of marvellous notoriety ; Arthur Barnes, the champion vaulter of all the world, who has accomplished the unprecedented feat of throwing 91 summersaults in succession, his first appearance in London ; W. 0. Dale, the renowned American artiste ; Tom Barry, the deathless clown — his name and fa me are enough ; assisted moat ably by those established favourites, Doughty and Knight. The Lessee most respectfully submits that so rich a combination of talent has never before appeared in London, nor in any Continental city; fortuitous but accidental circumstances have thrown them together for a short season, but other American and European engagements will prevent a continuance of the exalted scientific compact, after the expiration of the present engagement. Reduced Prices—Boxes 4s. and 3s. ; Pit, 2s. ; Lower Gallery, ls- UPPer Gallery, 6d. Doors open at Half-past Six, commence at Seven. Second Price at Nine. PROGRAMME. Mr. G.

The incomparable Horseman and American Star Rider, HERNANDEZ, Acknowledged by all to be the mo - t daring and graceful Rider in the universe. All who have seen this young gentleman admit that, in point of grace, dignity, daring, and exquisite agility, he has full earned the most flattering encomiums which have been passed upon him. There will now be an interval of Ten Minutes, during which will be performed a Grand Overture by the Band of the Establishment. Leader, Mr. Hayward. DE VOLTIGEI7I2 ! in which Mr. ARTHUR BARNES, the English Champion Vaulter, and Mr. W. 0. DALE will appear, together with the Brothers Elliott, Messrs. Ryland, Stone, Russell, Zamesou, Doughty, Knight, and Barry, forming the Greatest Vaulting Company in the World, Mr. Barnes having thrown the extraordinary number of Ninety-one Summer saults at one trial, and Mr. 0. Dale, Eighty-seven. An Eccentric Scene, by Mr. NEWSOME, showing the various modes of Riding, performed in characteristic costume, terminating with a rapid and splendid change, in order to give greater effect to this novel equestrian act. EATON STONE, the distinguished Indian Horseman of the Camanches, will perform his peculiar and dare-devil Exploits on his wild Prairie Horse, caus ing him t ) bound over a succession of high barriers, keeping time himself with the animal, springing from his back to the ground, and back again, jump for jump, over six elevated Planks, and through various Balloons, situated around the Circle. The performance of this Artist is quite unique, and unapproached by any other person-- they are altogether so much out of the usual course of the Circle, that they cannot be credited without being seen. Mr. Stone pre sents the peculiar characteristics of the South American Indians, with whom he has spent seven years in learning their singular man ners and customs. Mr. J.

The two horses stand unequalled in the Span ish and cadenced steps, and will perform with wonderful precision the same movements, as if guided by the power of electricity. This performance is particularly recommended to the notice of the Ama teurs of Equestrianism, who can judge of its extraordinary difficulty. • HERNANDEZ and Mr. W. 0. DALE, as the Olympic Heroes.—The most graceful and flni,,hed Double Act ever witnessed. LITTLE ELLA, the most wonderful female Equestrian in the World. THE BROTHERS ELLIOTT ON THE DOUBLE TRAPEZE.

Once more we have rumours that the Eastern difficulty is susceptible of a pacific termination. It is also gravely asserted that " the resources of diplomacy are not as yet exhausted, and that whatever may still be the irritation, real or affected, of the Emperor NICHOLAS, Europe will be spared the horrors of war !" Be it so ! We are not desirous of bloodshed, and shall be per fectly satisfied if France and England abandon the vacillating, cowardly, and dishonourable policy hitherto pursued, and act with vigour and efficiency, even at the eleventh hour. We confess that we place but little reliance on the statements respecting the warlike or pacific tendencies of the AUTOCRAT. We do not assume as elements in the calculation anything based on his supposed moderation, or on his high feelings of honour. We believe that he will act solely as his interests, or what he believes to be his inte rests, may dictate—that he will recognise, or be influenced by no other considerations. His mo deration forsooth ! It is that of the wolf, when determining whether he shall attack the lamb during the absence of the guardian dogs. His punctiliousness—it is that of the brigand, who doubts whether he shall persevere in his attack in the face of armed protectors, or desist for a brief period, until a more favourable opportunity may occur for carrying out his nefarious projects. If he believe that the Western Powers can be either cajoled or bullied, he cares not which, he will per severe until the Russian standard be planted on the walls of Constantinople, and his fleet rides triumph ant off the Golden Horn. If on the contrary he sees that France and England are determined to resist a routrance, that they will cordially cc-operate to gether to protect and sustain their injured ally, he will devise some mode of sneaking out of the contest, and devour his leek with becoming humi lity. It is unprovoked and unwarranted aggres sion that has created the difficulty. He is respon sible for all the mischief, and must submit to the fitting retribution, and he will do so if the Wes tern Powers act in a manner befitting their ancient reputation. He may bluster and vapour, but if he perceives a manly and firm resolution on our part he will eventually succumb. He is too well aware `of the impossibility of resisting the combined action of the Fleets of France and England, of the enormous price which he must pay for even the attempt to carry his ambitious projects into execution, to brave the avenging NEMESIS-t 0 encounter the fitting retribution of his iniquitous schemes. He knows what will be his own fate when the commerce of Russia is an nihilated, and her ports blockaded, and their entrances hermetically sealed. He will not brave a risk so formidable. But he will go on until as sured that we are in earnest—until the good and excellent ABERDEEN be removed from the position he unfortunately holds in the Councils of his Sovereign—until the British Parliament as sume its natural functions, and refuse to be hood winked by any man or body of men—until these events occur, he will persist steadfastly and per tinaciously. Then, and not until then, he will make the best retreat practicable—ready to make another onslaught whenever a favourable oppor tunity may arise. Let not the public, then, be deceived by these rumours, which are invented by interested per sons, and circulated for the vilest purposes. The Bears are but two well aware of the effects pro duced on the public mind by constant excitement. They see, and take full advantage of, the opportu nities for plunder thereby afforded. Let bona fide investers in stocks or shares, however, refuse to fall into their traps. Let them rely confidently on the resources of their Fatherland, and the impos sibility of its sustaining any serious damage in the conflict, if such should really be forced upon it. But, above all, let them be well assured that no thing is so well calculated to avert war as the exhi bition of a firm and unyielding front and inflex ible determination. There was much truth in the blundering assertion • of Sir BOYLE ROCHE, that " the best way to avoid danger is to meet it full in the face." If among the means of peace said to have been exhausted by our diplomatists, we had, on the crossing of the Pruth, moved our vessels to the Sea of Marmora—if we had accom panied that movement by a distinct and unequi vocal declaration that on the first shot that was fired in anger the combined fleet would bombard Odessa and Sebastopol, and that another division would sail for the Baltic and keep watch over Cron s tadt, the question would have been long since amicably arranged, and we should have been spared the enormous loss and inconve nience occasioned by the long-protracted negotia tions, and the unsettled state of affairs. Let us, then, ere it is too late, adopt a vigorous and manly policy worthy of our ancient reputation. It is by such conduct only that we can partially repair the damage already inflicted, and prevent further and more serious injury from being sustained. It has been suggested to the Leaders of the Peace Conference, we suppose in the way of banter, that they should undertals .e the task of reconciling the masters and ram, who have mutually struck. We really see no reason in sober seriousness why they should n ot accept the challenge. If successful, we are oonfident that already thousands of families would say, " Blessed are the peace-makers," and every week will in crease the numbers of wives, mothe rs, and chil dren, at least, who would give them heartfelt thanks for deliverance from debt, sex ni-starvation, and the pawnbroker. If unsuccessful, no one would reproach them for failure in so benevolent an attempt. It is, we fear, vain. to reduce a strike of classes to its componenA elements of individual dealing. It may be true, as far as it goes, that the transactions between operatives and the millowners should be as simplice a matter as dealing between a tradesman and his customer. In practice, however, many incide n.tal differences widely distinguish the two cases. The most im portant are the distinctness with - which, to the vulgar eye, the relation between a manufacturer and his workman stands out to - view ; and the fact, that it is only by the hands in. a factory, or other large business, combining as one man they can produce any impression on the one who s t an d s in the same relation to them all. Fundamentally the buyers and milers of labour must obey the same laws as other tux: yers and sellers. It will require, however, all the heimely eloquen ce of the Anti-Corn-Law Leaguers to convince the Preston cotton weavers of this ruadoubted fact. To the eye of the many the Master appears to be the man who doles out to each workman his living. He seems to hold in his, hands the mea sure of each man's comforts. Et is easy to ima gine, especially when he builds a mansion near his mill in the country, or erects one out of the town when inconvenienced by its smoke, that if he would he could spare somewhat more to each of his servants. It looks like getting rich at tbe cost of their imperfectly requited. toil. To a dis interested and educated man it is generally easy enough to show the fallacy of the se imaginations, but not to an interested and illiterate man. All the orators, too, to whom the operative listens (too often knowing much better) cherish and strengthen his delusion, and occasionally success ful strikes tend yet more to confirm it. Further, to get rich by paying labourers as little as pos sible will always seem more invidious than getting rich by obtaining the best price for mere articles of trade in the open market. Commercially, a pound of sugar and a day's lab our are equally articles of sale ; but the pound. of sugar knows nothing of comfort or discomfort in the process— saupgeanrnsytimll,owrehoilrelaessfefworpietnleeeavpeseri.:dt a b y ut m a or p e ou o n r d le o ss f for labour touch the comforts ' it may be the vital necessari es , o f a family of our brother men. The close proximity, so to speak, of the wages of labour to human happiness or mi t a' rY make the price of labour more a ew alwaysconsideration ill f for the heart than the price of o th er things. Even when, as now, the cost of necessaries and comforts is so painfully felt by many, there is more ten dency to blame the payers of unaltered wages than the sellers of food. Wages will seem more de pendent on mere will than the prices of articles of which PROVIDENCE has furnished but a dimi nished quantity. To such circumstances as these may be traced , so much of the bitterness attendant upon strikes. Masters think men dissatisfied and grumbling be cause having done with so many shillings per week they ask for more. Men think masters avaricious and hard, because trade being brisker they are unwilling to advance. It becomes a question of will, and will not ; of mutual misun derstanding of each other's positions; of false views of honour on each side, till what was begun as a tolerably cool fight ends in the bitterest exaspera tions, the deepest distress, breaches of the public peace, the trade of a district perhaps ruined, and the orders transferred for a permanency to other lands. We are sorry to observe that already the Preston contest begins to assume a more than commercial aspect. The grand complaint, according to Mr. GEORGE COWELL, whose letter has attracted so much attention, now is, that while many of the masters received the deputa tions from their workmen with " a courtesy and respect which did them the highest honour," and which, be the result of the contest what it may, " will be remembered with gra titude," the majority " spurned the hands from their presence, treated them with insult, and, in a few cases, with rudeness unbearable." Of course we have only Mr. CowELL's word for this. If it be true, we certainly wish it were not so ; far be it from us to encourage masters in un gentlemanly behaviour, and least of all towards de pendents. But while no doubt bearish masters can be found, as well as bearish workmen, the latter must take care not to confound the sense of independence in a master with rudeness. We I think it perfectly natural that many a master did, from the thoroughly English feeling of keeping his own concerns to himself, pretty decidedly re sent the demand for proof that he could not afford the advance of 10 per cent. Bad enough, he thought, to have to expose my income to the agents of Mr. GLADSTONE, but to have all these workmen debating my profits and losses at every tavern—no, I will starve rather than submit to it. Mr. COWELL, too, must forgive us, if we are compelled to doubt, however respectfully they might think proposals intrinsically repulsively worded, whether the bearers of the proposals always discharged their ungrateful office in the least irritating manner. Mr. COWELL, though striving to write like an apostle of meekness, indulges in some rhetoric as bad in temper as it is deplorably vicious in taste ; and it is therefore almost certain, that some of his legates did not altogether refrain from provoking language. We know too well the threatening impudence with which Trades'illnions, and other combined bodies of men, confident in numbers and organi sation, are but too ready to use towards their masters. Corporations of this kind are tempted, like all corporations, to behave unitedly as they would not individually. We must repeat, then, our regret that the bitterest and most lasting element of strife and ill-will should have been in troduced into this dispute. It will be a great advantage if any who on either side have descended to bad temper and irritating expres sions, would recal all that is offensive on that score immediately. As to the final result, there appears to us little doubt, that after:terrible suffering, if the contest be prolonged, the men must give way. They are by no means so well provided with the sinews of war as were the amalgamated en gineers ; over whom the masters obtained never theless a complete triumph. No doubt, if vengeance be a gratification, some of these masters must suffer by the strike ; by no means all of them, however, in the actual state of trade. But what are their sufferings com pared with those of the men ! What numbers of families are put upon short allowance, at once, and what numbers will have immediately to pawn some of the acquisitions of their late good employment. The master will not alter his daily diet, or scarcely retrench a pleasure ; the work man, his wife, and children must immediately eat less food and worse, and know no pleasure but that of attending exasperating meetings, and lis tening to orators who enrich themselves by leading him to penury. It is certain, we think, that the masters will not give way; they have the means for the longer battle, and their temper is roused, as well as all their notions of factory government violated. Meantime, the price of food is almost doubled to the man who has lost half his wages at least. He is punished both ways :he receives less and pays more. His miserable dole from the committee will not purchase much more than half what it would have done this time last year. Nay, he is trebly mulcted ; for the price of food mulcts him of employment. His master's cus tomers have to spend millions more on mere living than they had last year, and all these millions are withdrawn from the purchase of manufactured articles. With a home market greatly diminished by the cost of food, the operative, after starving and fretting for weeks or months, must return to his toil in broken spirits, and with only the hope before him that PROVIDENCE in mercy may grant us another year a good harvest and .peace.

W. E. Gladstone, the Count Gustave de Lannoy, Colonel de Moerkerke, the Baron Prisse, Monsieur Ricken, and Mr. Gibbs. The Band of the First Life Guards attended and played in the Castle during dinner. Her Majesty's Private Band afterwards attended in the evening and performed the following selection : Overture, " Die Hebriden " Mendelssohn. Selection, Ist Act, " Figaro " Aria, " Euryanthe " Cbceur et Marche du Bceuf Apia, "L'Enfant Prodigue " The Duke and Duchess of Brabant, and the Count of Flanders, attended by the Count and Countess Gustave de Lannoy, and Baron Prisse, went to London this morning. The Earl of Aberdeen left for London this forenoon. The Austrian Minister and Countess Colloredo have been invited and are expected to-day. The Belgian Minister remains at the Castle on a visit. The Duchess of Kent arrived in town on Monday, and visited the Duchess of Gloucester at her residence, Gloucester House, Piccadilly. Her Royal Highness left town at three o'clock in the afternoon, for her resi dence, Frogmore. Chevalier Bunsen, the Prussian Minister, transacted business yesterday at the Foreign Office. The Lord Chancellor has appointed 11 o'clock on Wednesday next, at his lordship's residence, for the re ception of the Lord Mayor and the other authorities of the City of London, on which occasion the Lord Chan cellor will signify her Majesty's approval of the Lord Mayor elect. The Lord Chancellor will also on the same day, at 12 o'clock, receive the Judges, Queen's Counsel, &c., it being the first day of Michaelmas- Term. The Duke of Newcastle left town last night. Despatches were received from the Lord High Com missioner of the lonian Islands yesterday, at the Colo nial Office. THE COURT. —Her Majesty and the Royal Family, we understand, according to present arrangements, intend! to remain at Windsor Castle until the third week in the• ensuing month, when the Court will remove to Osborne, Isle of Wight, until a day or two before Christmas, when they return to the Castle, when a few distinguished visitors, honoured with the privilege of the intimacy of Royalty, will probably receive invitations. The King of the Belgians, and his august relatives, will shortly take leave of her Majesty, and return to the Belgian capital. THE NEW RECORD REPOSITORY.—The new Record Repository is progressing towards oompletion. In the year ended the sth of January, 6,300 1 . was allowed for it out of the public money. CHlNA.—There was yesterday printed a Parliamentary document containing a correspondence with the superin tendent of British Trade in China on the subject of emigration from that country. MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The - sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 5,000 bales, of which 500 American were taken for export, and 500 Egyptian on specu lation. The market closed steady, without altera tion in prices. The sales comprised 3,500 Ameri can, 100 Pernam and Maranham, at 6jd. to 74d.; 700 Egyptian, at 61d. to 9Ad.; and 700 Surat, at 3d. to 4id. per lb. Railway Shares were firmer. In their report upon the dried fruit market, Messrs. Witherby and Hansom state :-- "The market has now continued in a dull and stagnant state for several weeks past, and the clearances for con sumption have consequently dwindled down to a mere trifle, those for the first 18 days of this month having been less than during the same period of last month, say 90 tons, against 1,050 tons in October, 1852, and 700 tons in October, 1851, during the corresponding days. The deliveries in bond during the three weeks ending 20th inst., were 140 tons, and they are still going on. The increase in the value of the article during six of the first eight months of this year, as compared with the prices of 1852, have been upwards of 100 per cent. A larger deficit might have been expected ; the result proves that even at high prices during spring and summer, cur rants were still used as a necessary ingredient in the diet of the people. A more abundant crop of apples than has been known in this country for many years past, has no doubt checked in part the consumption during the last two months. There seems to be no doubt whatever of the London clearances of raisins being this winter equal to those of former years, which have averaged during the last three mon th s o f eac h year 3,500 tons, exclusive of deliveries in bond. The official returns show an increase of 1,285 tons in the consump tion of the United Kingdom during the first eight months of this year. The characteristic of the fruit market generally is one of suspense, the circumstances of this opening season differing widely from those of any previous one. Some little time may still elapse before it adjusts itself. The great consuming period will this year commence later than usual." The Valetta steamer arrived at Marseilles at 8 o'clock this morning. She has on board 8 cases of the Australian mail. The pleasing intelligence reaches us by this opportunity that the 10,000 sovereigns dropped while being conveyed from the steamer Osmanli to the shore at Geelong had been recovered. The Lady Eveline, from California to Hong Kong, had been lost. There were 24 Chinese and 6 Europeans saved. The Argo steamer is expected to have left Mel bourne on the 24th August. The dates from Melbourne by the Overland Mail appear to be to the 2d of August. The telegraph advises the arrival of the Baltic steamer from New York. She has on board nearly a million of dollars. These we may assume to be the proceeds chiefly of the State Securities sent over for sale from Europe. A complete panic had arisen in the Stock Market. Several brokers had failed, and sundry commission houses had closed. Some of the State railroad bonds had gone down as much as 6 and 8 per cent. Government Stocks, however, had fallen only about 1 to 2 per cent. ; and it is evident that the Federal Six per Cent. Stock could not decline, when the Government is willing to redeem it at the rate of 122 and 123. Money matters were more stringent, and daily getting worse. This we must expect for a time, the intelligence taken out by the steamer Canada being of a nature to alarm the speculators and to make the banks exceedingly cautious. Flour ship ments, however, will help to discharge the in debtedness of the Americans. The Foreign exchanges were quoted yesterday afternoon for 3 months' bills as follows :—Paris, 25.25 to 30 ; Antwerp, 25.25 to 275 ; Amsterdam, 11.175 to 17 ; Hamburgh, 13.6 to 62 ; Frankfort, 1195 to 11/ ; and Trieste, 11.24 to 30. These rates, excepting Trieste, show a further downward tendency. The Funds opened well this morning, and have gone higher since owing to the fine weather and the large arrivals of specie. Even the announce ment that the allied fleets have passed up the Dar danelles is calculated to give confidence. Consols have been 92, and since 925 and 92i. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been quoted 931 and 93k. Bank Stock is low, being 212. Ex chequer Bills have sunk from 3s. premium to ls. dis. East India Bonds are 3s. prem. Foreign Stocks have been firm generally, al though there has not been a great deal doing. Mexican realise 24;.-- 25. Peruvian Deferred have been 49k. Portuguese 4 per Cents. are 40 to 41. Chilian 6 per Cents. have been marked 99k, and Buenos Ayres, 66. Spanish 3 per Cents. 44k, and Dutch 22 per Cents. have been 62k. All the railway shares have advanced. Great Northern are up 10s. to 11. ; Midland, ss. to 10s. ; York and Berwick 11., and others in proportion. French shares are in demand at advanced prices. The Gold Mine Shares are more active, and in some instances at rather fuller prices. The shares of the Land Companies' have been quiet but firmer, and in the Australian Banks there is no thing doing.

Transactions in grain were con fined to parcels required for completing cargoes, and wheat was selling at all prices, from 33s_ 6d. down to 18s. per quarter. The rate of freight had ar min risen to 275. per quarter. Farmers, it was presumed, would sus pend their supplies as soon as the news of the existing state of affairs should be known in the interior. The steamer between Odessa and Constantinople had ceased running. SUSPECTED MURDER. IN GUERNSEY.--A dreadful murder is believed to have been committed in Guernsey. The victim is a respectable lone widow woman, named Langou, who lived in a place called the Carnichers. The coroner's verdict was as follows :—" That the deceased was found burnt near her bed, having on her head a serious wound, which appears to have been inflicted before her death, it appearing also that the burning must have com menced before life was extinct, and there are strong suspicions that death has been caused by force and vio lence." Two men, named Limmer, alias 'Tapner, and Simms, have been apprehended on suspicion . The body of Mrs. Langou was discovered in her bed .room smoul dering on Wednesday last. Her house was robbed, and many of the things stolen have been found near the re sidence of Tapner. Tapner is a clerk in the enigneer department, in Fort George, in the island. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.—Messrs. Train and Co. are large shipowners, engaged in the Liverpool and Boston trade in Liverpool. In June last year they bad in their service, as freight collector, a young man of 21, James St. Albin Quinn. Large sums of money pas sed through his hands, and, taking advantage of this, h e decamped suddenly on the 30th of June, 1852, with about 1,3001. which he had received for freights from various mer chants in Liverpool, and for which he ought to have accounted to the cashier of Messrs. Train and Co. He first went to London, afterwards to the C.)ntinent, and then, returning to Liverpool, shipped in the Great Bri tain for Melbourne. On his arrival he set up as a gene ral merchant, and, according to his own aiccount, suc ceeded in making about 5,000/. ; but his - whereabouts having been ascertained, a warrant was obtained in Li verpool, which was sent out, and he was apprehended, and sent home in the Eagle, which arrived in Liverpool, from Melbourne, on Saturday. Yesterday he was brought before the magistrates at the Liverpool po:ice court, charged with embezzlement, and, evidence having been given to prove that he had received suns of money from Frazer, Trenholme, and Co., HoJlingshed and Tetley, Barber, G. Holt, and other firms, which he had i wt accounted for, he was committed for trial to the s essions. In only one case was he identified as the ierson to whom the money was paid, but in all his sig. tature was recognised and sworn to by Messrs. Train's c ashier. Quinn's legal adviser, Mr. Chilton, declined to s ay anything in his defence, remarking that he should r nerve his observations for the trial. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT (THIS DAY). OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Cresiwell and Mr. Justice Williams.) The second edition of the calendar, published this morning, contains the names of 101 prisoners, being 12 more than appeared in the first edition. FORGERY. William Mason, described as a tailor, who pleaded guilty yesterday to a charge of uttering five bank notes of 51. each, was brought up for judgment. Mr. Clarkson thought it right to intimate on behalf of the prosecution, that there was reason to believe that the prisoner bad for a long time been carrying on this practice of issuing forged notes. He was convicted with a gang of forgers in 1851, and there could be no doubt that he was a most dangerous character. The prioner said he very much regretted that be had ever fallen into the hands of bad associates, but affliction and necessity had forced him into their society, and driven him into crime. The Court sentenced the prisoner to be transported for twenty years. POST-OFFICE ROBBERY. George Clement, aged 34, a postman, was indicted for stealing a post letter, containing one half-sovereign, the property of her Majesty's Postmaster-General. The prisoner had been a letter sorter and carrier attached to the Charing-cross office, and on the 15th instant, while he was engaged in the duty of sorting, he was observed by one of the inspectors, first to examine, and then to pocket a small letter. Re was afterwards taxed with the theft, but by some manoeuvring he managed to drop the letter from his person, and he then protested that he knew nothing whatever of the letter or its contents. The inspector, however, was so positive in his statement that he saw the pri soner both open and drop the letter that he was at once given into custody on the present charge. The letter upon being opened, was found to contain half-a sovereign, let into the centre of a card, and it was ad dressed to a person in Westminster. Upon inquiry be ing institute, it turned out that it had been posted at Walworth, and so found its way to Charing-cross in the due course of business. The jury found thl , e prisoner guilty, but the court de ferred passing sentence. NEW COURT. (P;efore the Recorder.) THE SENTENCE UPOW HENRY HAMILTON, THE SURGEON. This morning, upon his Lordship taking his seat in this court, Henry Scott, alias Hamilton, the surgeon who was convicted on Monday of an indecent assault upon a young woman named Brown, was brought up for sentence. Mr. Parry, who appeared for the prosecution, said that at present he Lad not the advertisement which had been issued by the defendant, but he understood that he was not :1 1 regular s u rgeon. Mr. Ballantine said that he was instructed to say that his client had practised and walked the hospitals in 1847. Mr. Parry said I% e advertisement set forth that the defendant was a irtember of the Royal College of Sur geons, and that his name was Hamilton, when, in fact, it was not, and th.e advertisement was one calculated to deceive the un wary, and most especially women, whose diseases of a peculiar nature he professed to cure. After some disci fEsion, Mr. Ballantine called several witnesses of the highest respectability, amongst whom were four ladies, whe gave the defendant a high character for morality and de eency, he having been upon visiting terms with their far allies. In cross-examination by Mr. Parry, they all admitted that they were not--aware of defendant being an .advertising surgeon. The prisoner the. , n entered into a long statement, denying that there 'was anything in the advertisement of an improper character, and explained that the reason of his advertising in - the name of Hamilton, was that he had been for many y ears the partner of Mr. Hamilton, who had left the business, and he continued the name. He had studied the profession of medicine for years, and had been duly .entered as student in the hospital, but had not kept up his course of studies sufficiently long to entitle him to receive his diploma. The Recorder, in passing sentence, said that, n.Dtwith standing the improixabilities surrounding the story told by the prosecutrix, he felt bound to say that the jury had come to a very- proper conclusion. The came was one of a very aggrra ated character, and he should sen tence the prisoner to twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour. BUILDERS' BEUTEVOLENT INSTITULF_TO.N Last evening the sixth anniversary of this excellent institution was celebrated by a dinner at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, The objects of this institu tion are to afford relief and grant pensions to aged and decayed members of the building trade. The chair was filled by Peter Rolt,. Esq., M.P. for Greenwich. ,Among the gentlemen present we observed Mr. J. :Higgs, Mr. G. Spencer, Mr. Jay, Mr. Jelf, Mr. Myers, Mr. Sewell, Mr. Bond, Mr. Dun ning, Mr. Tyerman, Mr. ..?otter, Mr. Forrest, Mr.!Peters, Mr. Smith, Mr. Newso m, and several other gentle men largely connected wit ;h the building trade. There were also present gentle men as representatives from the establishments of Mr.. Pete, Mr. Jackson, Mr. Co.bitt, Mr. Grissell, Mr. Locke, and Mr. Todd. Grace having been sung and the cloth removed , The CHAIRMAN rose and said he needed not to 1 ;reface the toast he was about to give in a company like the present. He would therefore give them "The Q , ct een." The toast was drunk amid loud applause. The other loyal and constitutional toasts having been given and responded to, The CHAIRMAN rose to propose the toast of the even ing—" Prosperity to the Builders' Benevolent la istitu tion ;" and in doing so stated that he should nxa ke no apology for claiming their attention for a short p eriod, because the object for which they were all assemb led was to endeavour to enlarge the funds of the B milders' Benevolent Institution. They had met that even ing in that noble hall to celebrate the sixth anniversary of this excellent institution--an inst itution well deserving the utmost support. Every gen tl eman present must be aware of the many noble charititis: that adorned this great and wealthy land ; indeed, the re was not a country in the world so renowned for the many glorious charities which shed a lustre on the n .ame of England. Among those charities and benevolen t insti tutions there was none that deserved more big Illy the cordial support of every gentleman than the o ne for which he had the honour of appealing. He woi ild not dilate at length upon the benefits conferred by I in stitution, because they were well and honourably 1 :.nown to all present ; but he might be permitted to stat e that there were at the present time 22 male and female: reci pients of their bounty. That was not a smaller nu n ober, considering that their institution had only been in exi s tence six years, and he therefore called upon them to most strenuously support the directors in their praisewo othy endeavours to augment the numbers that now hat I the happiness to receive its bountiful assistance. He need not to remind those now in affluence, that they might, by accident or disease, be brought, like thorn 3 for whom he was now appealing, to need the assistant of of an institution like this, and all who now subsea ibed would be amply repaid by the knowledge that they • were conferring support and shelter upon those who, u nfor tunately, were, through no fault of their own, un ab le to help themselves. He would not detain them any Ler nger, for there were others far more able than himself to set before them the benefits and blessings of this insti Ltution. But of this he was sure, that none could wish to see the means of this charity more, much more ex tended, than himself. The hon. gentleman concluded a very eloquent speech by making a most energetic appeal on behalf of the funds of the institution, and r esumed his seat amid loud cheers, by proposing " Prc isperity to the Builders' Benevolent Institution." The toast was drunk amid great enthusiasm. The SECRETARY then read the list of subscrilr,tions, among which were the names of the Chairman f 'r 50 guineas ; Mr. Cubitt, M.P., 10 guineas ; Mr. Gto .ney, 10 guineas ; Mr. H. Lee, 21/., and a great many of s for like amounts. The aggregate amount of the sub scriptions was 5001. The CHAIRMAN then gave the health of Mr. G. 3 3ird, treasurer of the institution, and in doing so pars ed a high eulogium upon that gentleman for the noble ( .xer tions he had made on behalf of the interests of di' 3 in stitution. Mr. BIRD responded in a neat speech, and stated that if suffioient funds were placed at the disposal o.{ the directors, they would have the happiness to elect the whole of the unsuccessful candidates at the last el ec Lion to participate in the benefits of this noble insti tu.tion before Christmas. A number of other toasts followed, among which were "The President," "The Patrons of the II istitu tion," "The Press," &c., all of which were most ably responded to. The musical arrangements were admirable. The vocalists consisted of Mr. Allen, Mr. Day, Mr. D intin, Miss Rose, and Mrs. Distin. It is nearly superfl ti ous to remark that the dinner was served in a style tha t re flected the utmost credit on the proprietors of the 1.4 on don Tavern. We must also compliment Mr. IT gs, who officiated as toastmaster iu capital LATEST FOREIGN N \VS. FRANCE. A telegraphic message received by the French Government yesterday confirms the news already received as to the passage of the Dardanelles by the combined fleets of England and France, on the 14th. M. de la Cour, the French Ambassador at Con stautinople, is to be, if he has not already been, recalled from his post. For some time past mur murs or complaints have been heard in official quarters respecting the manner in which French interests have lately been represented at Constan tinople, and which were felt all the more under such circumstances as the present. It appears that the stag-hunt at Compiegne, in which Madame Amedee Thayer, wife of the senator, had her leg broken, was very nearly occasioning more numerous and graver accidents. The stag rushed into a stable, and there kept the dogs at bay. In so doing lie almost touched the horses of the Emperor and Empress. As it was, the horses were greatly frightened, and were with difficulty restrained. M. Edgar Ney, in his quality of grand huntsman, rushed on the stag, hunting-knife in hand, and killed him. Prince Jerome is not yet entirely recovered ; the state of his health does not inspire uneasiness, although it requires much care. His Imperial Highness had a relapse, but is again getting better ; he left his bed on Monday, and transacted business with several persons of his household. At three o'clock the bulletin of his health was satisfactory. The Union mentions a rumour that not feiver than 15,000 copies of Ledru Rollin's pamphlet were seized in the recent domiciliary visits. The Bourse, which opened firmly yesterday, be came feeble towards the conclusion of bilsiness, and the Three per Cents., which were first called at 72f. 85c., closed at 72f. 40c. for the end of the month. The Four-and-a-Half per Cents. closed at 99f. ; Orleans Railway shares, 1,145 f. ; Rouen, 1,002 f. 50c. ; Havre, 477 f. 50c. ; Great Northern, 836 f. 25c. ; Paris and Strasburg, 895 f. ; Paris and Lyons, 890 f. ; Lyons to the Mediterranean, 721 f. 25c. ; Western of France, 685 f. ; Bordeaux and Cette, 582 f. 55c. ; Great Central, 513 f. 75c. ; Lyons and Geneva, 495 f. ; Shares of the Bank of Credit Mobilier, 692 f. 50c. RUSSIA AND TURKEY. The following has been received by Submarine Telegraph, vie/ the Hague, from Trieste, Oct. 25, five p.m..— The Lloyd steamer has arrived from Constanti nople, with news to the 17th of October. Prince Gortschakoff's reply had arrived. General Prim is said to have obtained a command. The united fleets are advancing towards Gal ipoli. The exportation of corn is forbidden by procla mation at Constantinople. From Smyrna, Oct. 19, we learn that Janni Katergi has been arrested. Koszta has left for Boston. • M. de Castelbajac, the son of the French am bassador at St. Petersburg, arrived in Paris on Monday from the capital, the bearer of important dispatches. They consist of the last note of the Russian Cabinet on the subject of the declaration of war, in which the Emperor declares that he can. not but repel the hoslilities of Turkey. The Czar adds, for the benefit of the few weak-minded per sons who still persist in believing in his moderation and justice, " that he is still determined, in any case, not to do anything that can in any way in terfere with the integrity of the Ottoman empire." Dispatches were received in Paris yesterday, dated Vienna, the 24th, which bring accounts from Constantinople of the 15th. At that date, although the combined fleets had not arrived before Constan tinople, they were daily expected, and the Govern ment was actively preparing for hostilities. The answer of Prince Gortschakoff was looked upon by the Divan as a decided refusal on the part of Russia to evacuate the principalities, and orders had been sent to Omer Pacha to commence active hostilities forthwith. The dispatch adds that the Turks had passed the ,Danube ; but it is unnecessary to say that that assertion, to use a French phrase, " merits confirmation." It is curious, however, that the same news should arrive from both sides at one and the same time ; and it renders it ex tremely probable that Omer Pacha will not delay advancing on the enemy. The German papers state that Omer Pacha has not only commenced hostilities, but that he has actually crossed the Danube at Oltemiza, and beaten the Russians. The last telegraphic message from Constantino/11A is dated the 17th October. Nainik Pacha was then about to start immediately for Paris and London, as Extraordinary Commissioner, to contract a loan for 4,000,0001. sterling. The armaments were being zealously continued. The National Gazette of Berlin states that the Czar has given an assurance to Prussia and Austria that he has no intention whatever to interfere in the internal affairs of Turkey, and that though he is ready to wage war, he is, however, disposed to enter into an arrangement. When the four principal English merchants of St. Petersburg attended, according to request, the hotel of the Minister of Finance on the 15th inst., the following communication was made to them by that functionary : "Gentlemen,—His Majesty having learned by the Eng lish journals that grave disquietudes existed relative to the persons and property of English subjects whether in Russia or in the Baltic, should war break out, has charged me to inform you that whatever may happen, the persons and property of English subjects, on sea and land, shall be fully respected. I may add, that strong hopes are entertained that peace will be maintained. At all events, the conviction prevails that war will not break out between Russia and England, whatever may be the course of events in the East." The Turkish government has officially recognised. Schamyl and the other chiefs of the Circassian in surrection. It has given them titles correspond ing to their grades, and is sending them arms and ammunition. The Trieste Gazette gives the following from Constantinople, 12th :—Within the last few days a new effort has been made on the part of Austria in favour of a pacific solution. On Wednesday last a courier arrived from Vienna with conciliatory pro positions, but he came too late, for the declaration of war had already been sent off to Omer Pacha and read in all the mosques. Thenew proposition sent by the Conference of Vienna appeared to the Divan to be in manifest contradiction with the Note of Count de Nesselrode, which sets forth the motives why Russia has not accepted the modifica tions of the Porte. The new Greek Patriarch, Mgr. Anthimos, immediately after his nomination, went in great pomp to the Imperial Palace to pay his respectful homage to the Sultan, who received him very graciously, and assured him that the government would always maintain the liberties and franchises granted to the Christian populations, but added that he expected that the newly-elected Patriarch would on his side exert all his efforts to respond to the magnanimous sentiments of his So vereign. Mgr. Anthimos afterwards received the investiture from Reschid Pacha. A letter from Bucharest, of the 12th, says : " We are expecting to hear every day that hostili ties have commenced. Prince Stirbey is still here, but the rumour runs that . he will bef ore l ong t a k e his departure. The Minister of the Interior has officially given notice to all persons holding forage and other stores not to sell them too d ear , as s h ou ld they do so, the Russians would not pay ready money but give bills, and that for only part of the price. The Russians are constructing r oun d thi s p lace winter quarters in the ground (bordeij), con sisting of square excavations covered over with small twigs and thatch, and having t wo open i ngs above, one to admit light and let out the smoke and the other to serve as an entrance. In the a n ' cient times the Wallachian peasants lived in such holes, but not for a century past." The sanitary accounts received from Wallachia and Moldavia are not satisfactory. The Govern ment has sent Dr. Ley, Director of the Quarantine, to the spot to collect information. It is certain that Asiatic cholera has broken out at Jassy and the neighbourhood, and has already made numer ous victims. The cattle which have been sent for the supply of the Russian army have been attacked with disease, and all along the road may be seen trenches into which the bodies of the dead animals have been thrown. The Austrian Government has, in consequence, increased the period of the qua rantine. ITALY. The Voce della Liberia, the organ of democracy at Turin, having given an unfaithful account of the late riot there, with a view to extenuate the outrages committed, the Piedmontese Gazette gives a positive denial to its assertions, particularly - 4o that relating to the assault upon Count Cavour's palace, which the Voce stated was found open, and not broken open ; whereas the offibial journal de clares that the palace had been closed by the ser vants at the very beginning of the tumult, but that the rioters shook the gate violently and broke the inner bolts, thus effecting a forcible entrance It futher denies that there were carabineers con cealed in the palace as the Voce pretends, as also that the force called out was more imposing than necessity required. The Voce della Liberia and the Campana, both Turin papers, were seized on the 19th for certain articles on the late riot. The General CODgMS of delegates from all the . societies of working men of the kingdom of Sar dinia, now sittinz at Asti for the ( liz4cussio7l of matters relating to tr.ide, ou hs'ariu,, ,, of the dis turbance of the 18th at Turin, immediately met, and passed a resolution strongly condemning such proceedings. The Parma Gazette, of the 18th, announces the arrival of the Duke of Parma in his capital, with Baron Ward, his Minister, from Vienna. The Dqchess, with her children, is daily expected from Brunsee, in Styria. SPAIN. The Madrid Gazette of the 20th contains a royal decree which enacts th a t the Sp an i s h authorities shall no longer retain the passports of foreigners delivered by the legations and consulates of their country. This measure, it is said, will be very advantageous to foreign travellers by releaving them of a host of restrictions on travelling. Th e commission charged to draw up a bill for fixing the duties on cloth had been unable to come to a unanimous decision, and it consequently proposed to present two reports to the Government. The municipality of Madrid was about to take measures to prevent the dearness of provisions. It was re" ported that the Duke de Rivas was to be nomi nated President Of the Senate, but the rumour was premature. The Three per Cents. were done at 413- ; the New Three per Cents. at 224 ; the Debt of the First Class ai; 9 9-16 ; and that of the Second at 5. AUSTRIA. The increase in the price of provisions in Vienna has awakened the soli c it u d e o f th e G overnm ent, and it is about to dimini s h th e cos t o f th e co nvey ante of corn. It will begin by lowering the tariff on the State railways. Th e b a k ers o f Vi enn a are so much embarrassed by the wan t o f mone y, that they wish to borrow 400,000 fl or i ns f ro m the Municipal Council without interest. SWITZERLAND. From the latest news from Ticino arrived at Berne, by telegraph, it would appear that Austria is reinforcing the military cordon on the borders, of the canton, and that the blockad e i s en f o rced with greater strictness. An Austrian commissar/ of police has also been sent over to Campione, Lombard village, surrounded by the Ticinese ter ritory. GREECE. By telegraph we have news from Athens, to Oct. 21. The Ministers of Finance and War hav e been dismissed. The free introduction of corn ha s been determined upon. A loan of five million drachmas has been proposed. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE BALTIC. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY, 6 A.X. By the United States mail steamer Baltic vie have advices from New York to the 15th instant. She has brought 134 passengers and 1,000,0 0° dollars in specie on freight. The Baltic passed the steamer Atlantic from Liverpool, for New York, at 12.15 a.m. on the 16th, 125 miles from Now York. The New York Herald, speaking of the failures which had occurred and were likely to occur. says' "At the present day, it is said that Mr. Draper ill" tends to resume payment to-morrow. We do not be" lieve that such a thing will come to pass. Indeed, We are rather inclined to think, from the appearance of the financial horizon, that we are not very far from the cum mencement of one of the most tremendous convulsions that has overtaken the credit system of the country; and we believe that this convulsion has been precipitate ( ' on us without warning and without notice by the strang e and extraordinary management of the surplus revenue and financial affairs of the Government under the Pre' sent ignorant and incompetent Secretary of the Tow' sury at Washington, " It is now 18 months since we described the process by which the country was gradually verging towa rd s another explosion of its financial system, to a more re markable and extraordinary extent than that which too_it place in 1837. We are not certain but we are nom' i 8 the commencement of that great change, and that t7O commencement has been hurried upon us; as we ha already said, by the acts of the Secretary of the l•r e sury. " In the midst of this unhealthy and extraordir i t i e enlargement of commercial and all sorts of credits, see the Secretary of the Treasury, in his ignorance t, i l presumption, using the surplus revenue under his coot_i:j in a mode that will only add tightness to tightness screw to screw, till the collapse comes upon us thunderstorm in a summer sky. usc ' "As a specimen of this igaik.atice and want of V„ n ledge, the Secretary of the Treasury is now buying the bonds of the Government not due, and sending the very specie to Europe without any necessity for doing so. But this is not all. We have every reason to believe that the same unscrupulous set of politicians, actuated by the like principles and incapacity, will produce the same results in the Government credits and Government moneys at this era as those which were brought about in 1837." The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald says, it is doubtful if Mr. Mason goes to France, but if he declines he will probably act as 5 locum tenens for some member of the present Cabl" net on its dissolution, which must be before the be" ginning of November. Advices from the City of Mexico, to the 3d iT t stant, state that a Mexican war-steamer had la' Vera Cruz, with 300 troops, for Yucatan, wher° 3 revolution had been reported. Don Lina Alcort s had been appointed Minister of War. An extensive conspiracy had been discovered in Puebla, and several prominent citizens had been arrested. Among them are Don Juan Nuzie, s ' General Manoles, Robba, and Don Luis de ,5 Rosa. They had been ordered to leave the country. The New York stock market was ver y heavi; Most descriptions of stocks had declined. IVIal e J brought from Bto 18 p er cen t. V ery littl e if an' good paper could be obtained under 12 per cent. THEATRE ROYAL HAYMARKET. • Mr. George Vandenhoff, the eldest son of the Wel k known tragedian of that name, and for many years ai r sent in America, made a very successful re-appearan ce last night at this theatre in the character of Harn, He possesses the adv an t ages o f a goo d person an d as excellent voice, is easy and dignified in his action, aid correct in his reading ; and though his performance not display any of the higher flights of the tragic t there was nothing objectionable, nothing overstraine d ' all was mark e d by care f u l ness, i ntelligence, and Pr;',-, priety, and the v er di c t o f t h e au di ence was unanimong`Jt in his favour, he being " called" with loud a pplause 5 the conclusion of the piece. We copy the following notice of this gentlenisg'° debi2t from our contemporary the Morning Post : " If Mr. Vandenhoff has not gained fame and inn e p el d from our tr ansa tl ant i c b rethren, he has certainly acenir-ch experience a n d i mprovement i n their land, and to sil an extent as to make us doubt his identity with the g el) ; tleman bearin g hi s name w h ose acquaint,ance we had p,r' viously made.

Wt s he may make of other Shaksperian characters, requirl': greater energy, passion, physical power, and melo-dfri matic excitement, we cannot pretend to say ; bu t , c . ) . this we are sure, that his picture of the contempla , tr v ;' , philosophical, elegant Prince of Denmark, who is en , k) 4l goaded into action by a supernatural visitation, g i _ v ie the pressure of most extraordinary and terrwi.o circumstances, could not possibly be surpassed. this age of strong accents and exaggeration, es pecia , " e l t in theatrical matters, it is truly refreshing to n i o f with an actor who never " o'ersteps the modestf.a nature "—who moves with gentlemanlike ease S. grace upon the stage, and speaks the language of S/ 1 . 3 4 , spere with just emphasis and purity. Such is ei George Vandenhoff ; but his merits do not end for he is not merely a correct performer, but 0 ,16 ' 1 _ 0 1 great one. He not only satisfies but delights us---';, ig this he accomplishes in various ways. Firstly, bY ts P ro really beautiful level speaking, which is truly "ng to advantage dressed."
