Such is the intelligence flashed to us, through Berlin, by the Elect r i c Telegraph. to our timorous I An appropriate pendant irresolute negotiations ! Have we not insisted throughout that nothing .: a to G better than this could result fr om our di p l oma ti c poltroonery ? Woli even ts might hav e faisifienithat,!n this re s p ec t, Such, however, was altogether impossible. predictions ! Eng land was too obviously compromised ible. Eng- timidity, the delays, and the hesmitals:cl by the Government. It was manifest, almosit:Sf of her commencement, that the country must : or ' the later be placed in a false position—thanks toe nervous and uncertain foreign policy o f our —ead ministration. Therefore it has, in fact, to th e very letter, so happened. After encouraging the Divan to count upon our support by dispatching. our armed vessels to Besika Bay—after prompting the SULTAN, consequently, to ex h a ust the resources of his exchequer by enormous armaments, or ganised, both by sea and land, for the vindication of the rights of his Sovereignty—our rulers, through their representative at Vienna, arrange with the Austrian, French, and Prussian Pleni potentiaries a scheme of reconciliation between Russia and Turkey, most truckling to the Coun cils of St. Petersburg, and most faithless to those of Constantinople. They so draw up the various clauses of their proposition that the AUTOC RAT, through its acceptance, should obtain more than he himself had ever demanded, while the sacred and inalienable rights o of the Sublime Porte should be thereby the tually compromised.Ad most flagrantly and effete to this, they so con trive matters th at the Note suggesting this most disgraceful compromise trans mitted, first of all to stPetersburg, be a ft erw ards to Constantinople. Obviously,etersburg, and there fore, the Divan is deprived of the ° n ity of objecting to .4Ale pr o p osa l of t11131)°11u- Four PciweiS before it has already been acceded to lyy -,r the CZAR of course with the utmost eagerness and complacency. Naturally enough, the result of all this has deplorably justified the gloomiest of our anticipations. Russia, recognising on the instant in this shameless proposal of the Four Powers the advantages certain to accrue to herself from its acceptance, at once consents to the Vienna suggestions promptly and unconditionally. Tur key, on the other hand, perceiving at a glance the faithlessness revealed by her allies in this dis graceful proposition—perceiving that the ac ceptance of that proposition by the Divan would involve the degradation of the autho rity of their Imperial master the Sul,- TAN, and the virtual relinquishment of his independence—at once refuse to receive the Note from Vienna, until it has been rendered palatable to them by a series of what they assert forthwith to be imperatively essential modifications. Directly news to this effect arrives from the Golden Horn, we are assured that the preliminary changes re quired by the Divan are altogether unimportant in their character, that they are, to all intents and pur poses, really quite insignificant. Yet, on turning to the official despatches of REDSCHID PACHA, the Turkish Minister for Foreign Affairs, a communica tion addressed by him as recently as the 19th ult., to the British, Austrian, French, and Prussian representatives, we find that these wholly " unim portant" m odifications are, nevertheless, deemed so absolutely requisite by the Divan, that his Highness upon one point declares, "It is therefore totally im possible for the Government of his Majesty the SULTAN to assent to such a proposition without being forced!" Anxiously, therefore, after this, but still with an affectation of regarding the matter as really insignificant, the allie I Plenipotentiaries forward to the Councils of the CZAR intelligence of the modifications insisted upon by the Turkish Government. Then follows an interval of timo rous solicitude. Everybody, sympathising with the policy of the ABERDEEN Cabinet, awaits the decision of the Emperor NicsoLas tremblingly and ou the tiptoe of expectation. That decision is at last received via Berlin through the Electric Telegraph a peremptory rejection of the Turkish modifications ! Can that rejection, we ask any man of common sense and im partiality, can that rejection by the CZAR be any matter of surprise under the circumstances ? The Russian Government receives certain pro posals from the Four Powers, and accepts them at once, unconditionally. Shortly afterwards it is asked to consent to certain changes and modi fications in the Note as originally accepted. Naturally, inevitably, it refuses to consent to those modifications. It argues of course—No, we have already assented to it as it stands : it is nct ours, it is your own proposition. The onus, consequently, of this new complication devolves upon the Turkish Government. Can that Government withdraw its modifications ? Scarcely. It has already declared them to be imperatively essential as a preliminary. His Highness the Foreign Minister of the SULTAN, as recently as the 19th ultimo, as already observed, has dis tinctly asserted—" It is, therefore, totally im possible for the Government of his Majesty to submit to such a proposition, WITHOUT BEING FORCED." How, consequently, from this la mentable complication of difficulties, can our rulers discover any means of honourable ex- trication ? If the modifications be insisted on by the Four Powers, they will have dealt falsely with the CZAR, for he has already, as we have seen, I accepted their own proposition promptly and unconditionally. If, on the contrary, those modifications be rejected by the Four Powers as superfluous and unnecessary, the SULTAN, yet more than the AUTOCRAT, will have been odiously deceived and monstrously abandoned. Here, for the present, is our dilemma. For the dis grace of having fallen into it, for the in famy resulting from it, for the odium that must inevitably attach to us from the remem brance of these most lamentable negotiations, we have to thank the shuffling, timid, and changeful foreign policy of the Earl of ABERDEEN'S pusilla nimous Government. The Bears are still carrying on their operations with extraordinary vigour and energy, and hitherto with marked success. Stocks and shares of every description have been greatly depressed, chiefly from the doubt and uncertainty still hanging over the solution of the Eastern difficulty, and in some respects from the fears entertained as to a deficient harvest, and an insufficient sup ply of food for the people. Further measures on the part of the Bank Directors to enhance the rate of interest are more than hinted at, and nothing that can increase the feeling of alarm in the public mind, or deepen the existing gloom, is left undone by the bold and not very scrupulous speculators for a fall. It must be admitted that these persons are wise in their generation, and that they turn to the best advantage not only any circum stance, however trivial, but even any rumour, no matter how improbable, that may add to the panic which they have excited. The proceedings of the ursa major of the Great Northern Despots, whose unwarranted and unwarrantable invasion of the territories of a friendly power led to all these evils, were complete godsends to his minor brethren, and the vacillating and temporising policy of the " excellent ABERDEEN," and his supporters in the Joint-Stock Administration, consummated the mischief. would not, without a struggle, relinquish the advantagLeus position Le had with his troops quartered in the dominions, and devouring the resources of the enemy. The ques tion of " teeth money" had not been settled, or the amount of compensation which might be claimed by NICHOLAS, for the expenses of his occupation. That his demand would be extrava gant, such as could not possibly be submitted to, was by no means improbable, and that they would still further entangle matters which previously had been more than sufficiently complicated, was to be expected. But that any serious hostilities would arise, in which the Western Powers would participate, we never anticipated. The EMPEROR will go as far as he can with impunity, but he will know when and where to stop. He is too well aware of the dangers and inconvenience of a direct collision with the combined navies of Eng land and France to plunge into the contest. Clouds may low over the political horizon, but the storm will be averted ; the aspect of affairs may be threatening for a time, but that is all. We are firmly convinced that there will be no pro clamation of war—no battle in which England may be engaged. The solution of the problem will be ar rived at more speedily than has been anticipated, and the rapid improvement of quotations of every kind of stock will heap ample retribution on those who are endeavouring to increase the alarm or foment the panic at the present moment. There is no better foundation for the fears re specting the deficiency of the harvest, or the supposed famine that is said to be impending. That prices have risen very materially within the last few months is certain ; but these additions are ascribable more to the improved condition of the working population than to any probable scarcity. The general employment has created an additional demand for comforts and luxuries utterly unknown under less favourable circum stances. The holders of stocks of every kind are making the most of the change, but there is no danger of a deficiency. The table of imports and exports will prove that fact beyond the possibi lity of doubt. Let persons, then, refuse to sacrifice their pro perty at the present prices ; let them decline to play the game of speculation by casting it on the market. They may be well assured that there will be a speedy reaction, if they are only true to themselves and abstain from increasing the panic by yielding to the fears excited by unconscientious and interested persons. The very sensible remarks on Convocation, by the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, which appeared in our paper of Saturday, deserve a brief notice. His Grace availed himself of the opportunity of meeting the clergy resident in the vicinity of Ashford and Sittingbourne, to expound delibe rately his reasons for objecting to a revival of the activity of Convocation. Though much might be said which his Grace wisely abstained from saying, yet what he did say is weighty enough. The Convocationists well know that the country has plenty of reasons of its own, in addition to those which the Archbishop appropriately urged upon ministers of religion, which will always be fatal to their object. We have furnished them with some of them—if, indeed, they see fit to honour us with their attention. We will not re cal them just now, but we strongly advise them to make a " Vienna note" of their Metropoli tan's charge, to sign it with all possible dispatch, and to withdraw at once from a contest in which they are sure to be thoroughly beaten. Dr. SUMNER pointed out, with perfect truth, the utter inutility of a Convocation, even sup posing it were a real representation of every part of the country, in promoting the efficiency of the clergy situated in districts of a most diverse character. The real work of the Church has to be done by individual clergymen. Local con ferences of ministers in the same district, all un derstanding its peculiarities more or less, and all having a common object, might, of course, be helpful by mutual experience and suggestions. A body like Convocation could do nothing of the kind. It could not increase the efficiency of a single parish clergyman. " It could not enable him to bring one additional soul to vital and serious religion." We fear, however, that this just observation, so appropriate from one minister of religion to another, will have little weight with the Convocationists. They, the noisiest of them at least, are men to whom their parish is but a prison, and whose chief longing is to make them selves notorious beyond it, or to gain the power belonging to chief clerical debaters in a clerical assembly. The sober part of the public will en tirely concur with the Primate. In respect to other important general objects for which a living Convocation is desired, his Grace shows that all of them can be best accomplished by the existing voluntary so cieties and organisations connected wich the Church. For education they have the Na tional Society, and the Diocesan Boards of Educa tion. For " the extension of the means of grace in proportion to the population," they have a society which has been at work successfully for 40 years. For the " propagation of the gospel in foreign parts" (whether amongst our colonists, or amour , the vast numbers of heathen beneath our rule), they have the society which, for 140 years, has borne that name. Were they to undertake in Convocation the work of this society, what could it do but use the very means—Bibles, books, and missionaries—which the Society now employs ? Now, all this is well said. The Arch bishop has hit the right nail on the head. " If, gentlemen, your object be not ecclesiastical noto riety and power, if it be simply to forward that solemn and supremely important work for which the nation supports you, first attend to your work quietly and vigorously in your respective parishes and districts. Secondly, if you contemplate home or foreign usefulness of a religious kind, why, no thing prevents you from aiding old societies, or forming new ones, if you will ; you are free to contribute your money, to choose your own com mittees, to elect your own officers, and to extend the Church at home and abroad as much as you please." Though not in so many words, the Archbishop yet plainly tells the clergy of this day that it is to the voluntary principle they must look for Church Extension. Before the time of the Re form Bill, the Duke of WELLINGTON himself, in his place in the House of Lords, told them expli citly the same truth. To a large extent his ad vice has been acted on since with great success, and the Church must continue to act upon it. Even the present reformed Parliament showed pretty plainly last session that the time for eccle siastical jobs is gone by. The census returns, too, have made it impossible for any Government to do more than preserve the present endowments of the Established Church for the use of its mem bers, and Churchmen will be wise not to provoke com p a risons of their claims to increased legislative protection with those of other sects. As Lord STANLEY has justly observed, " the principle on which the present generation inclines to act, is that of strict religious equality." Other sects have shown, every now and the n, some im p atience of What would be the legislative powers of bishop s. the resistance should any Government seriously propose to give the Church of England a convoca tion—not a mere voluntary association of active minded. Churchmen—but a convocation having a legal status and powers, and a rank ecclesiastically parallel with that of our Houses of Parliament politically ? We feel pretty confident that the statesman a e g x a c i e tt n t tlrem element will always predominate too largely in any Cabinet to permit to Convocationists the chance of Governmental support ; the country is safe against the nuisance of having to petition are ilo. a tl s re lv i r e i in another dmiarneccitsiOn_Wthee service, i Still,n showing th e A t Archbishop b r i sehl religious has us r e a d s o o n n e s of action.

But, un fortunately, the England of 1853 did not maintain the position to which she had been elevated when a more decisive and manly policy prevailed in her councils, and when the Minister who suggested a Quaker-like submission to insult and contumely would speedily be hurled from place and power, and when a British Parliament would not abdicate its functions in favour of any man or body of men, however well merited the confidence that might be reposed in his or their ability, and discretion, andenergy.

There is not a Church in Christendom which fetters the action of its parish clergymen so much as our own. Strike off those fetters. Emancipate curates from slavery to the bishops.

Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert attended divine service yesterday in the parish church at Crathie. .... The service was performed by the Rev. Archibald Anderson. In attendance were the Duchess of Wellington, the Hon. Mary Bulteel, the Earl Granville, Colonel the Hon. C. B. Phipps, and Colonel the Hon. A. Gordon. Her Majesty and the Prince dined yesterday evening at Abergeldie with her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent. THE LATE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. This day, Wednesday, the 14th, is the first anniver sary of the demise of Britain's greatest warrior. The Duke died at three o'clock on Tuesday, September 14th, 1852. There have since departed from amongst us several other heroes, whose names will long live in English his tory, We may particularise those of Napier, Saltoun, and Douglas, and also Cockburn, who, though strictly a naval man, also saw military service. Since the demise of the Duke, Walmer Castle has been a point of great attraction, and is visited daily by close upon 200 persons. The greatest possible anxiety is always evinced to hear of or look at anything nearly connected with the lamented Duke. Articles of furni ture which had been particularly used by his Grace are eagerly looked at, but the bed which he used and the chair in which he died, are treated as things quite sacred. The present Duke of Wellington still maintains his father's establishment, and we believe purposes doing so until the return of the Marquis of Dalhousie from the East. It is proper to add, that his Grace affords every possible facility to those desirous of viewing the castle. THE FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE IN WHITE- CHAPEL. Yesterday afternoon Mr. William Baker, the coroner for East Middlesex, held a long inquiry at the London Hospital, respecting the circumstances attending the death of Abraham Marcus, aged 17, who perished in the fire which occurred on Sunday night last in the premises of Mr. Levine Stone, waterproof clothing manufacturer, Newcastle-street, Whitechapel. More than ordinary interest was attached to the case on account of the ques tion arising as to whether or not any one was allowed to carry on such a dangerous trade in so densely-popu lated a neighbourhood. Francis Turner, the parish engine-keeper of Whitecha pel, said that on Sunday night last he was called to the fire. He attended with his engine immediately, and found the flames and smoke pouring forth from the first floor. The conductor of the Royal Society's escape came at the same time as witness, and they both attempted to get into the room, they having been previously informed that the deceased was therein. The fire, however, was too strong to allow them to enter. They, therefore, went to work, and after some time they got the fire extin guished, when Wood, the conductor of the fire-escape, went in, and found the deceased in a corner of the room, burnt in a shocking manner, and quite dead. There was a quantity of solution for niakiag water-proof dresses in the place. It was made of naptha and other ingredients the names of which he did not know. The solution was, however, exceedingly combustible, and there had been several fires caused from the composition becoming ignited, in other places, at different periods. Mr. Michael Castleborough, of 44 and 45, Newcastle street, watchmaker, said that on Sunday night, whilst in his workshop, his attention was attracted by a noise re sembling a clap of thunder. Almost immediately after wards he heard a cry of fire. He ran up the stairs of Mr. Levine Stone's house, who occupied the first floor, and found the premises on fire. The business was ex ceedingly dangerous. He had never had a fire in the same premises before. He understood that there were no fires burned in the stoves in the room. The Coroner—Then how do you account for the fire breaking out ? Witness—Oh, the mere spark from a lighted candle would cause the composition to ignite, and the parties employed on the premises were in the habit of working by candlelight. The Coroner said that he once held an inquest on nine persons, who were killed by an explosion of fireworks in the same neighbourhood, and another jumped out of the window ; making 10 deaths. Now it was illegal to ma nufacture fireworks in such a place, but it was question able whether the parties were prohibited by law from sarrying on the business of waterproof clothing makers. He did not, however, think the act of parliament went so far as to allow him or the jury to interfere with the business carried on, which was more for the considera tion of the police magistrate than the coroner. Other evidence having been adduced, the jury, after condemning in strong terms that such a dangerous business should be allowed to be carried on is such densely populated neighbourhoods, returned a verdict, " That the deceased was accidentally burnt to death." TEE METROPOLITAN LIGHT AND PATENT LAMP COMPANY. Under this title a company has recently been estab lished, with the view of purchasing the inventions of Mr. Clarke, of the Strand, in various branches of manu facture connected with the production of light. These inventions are already favourably known to many house keepers in the metropolis, and throughout the country, and there can be no doubt will, ere long, come into general use. That such an undertaking, if judi ciously m anaged, may i yield a goo d re t urn on t h e ca pital embarked in t is evide nce d b y th e success w hi c h has attended Price's patent candle company, and, in deed, in some respects it presents a more advantageous opportunity for investment than railways, for the risk is not so great, and the cert a i n t y o f a return more ap parent, while there is no limit placed by act of Parlia ment on the amount of profits divisible among the shareholders. The prospectus says : "The inventions consist in the production of the ver tical, diamond, pearl, and other lamps of the most per fect construction for this country (surpassing all British and foreign manufactures) ; a complete set of lamps for India and the colonies ; and the patent gem burner, which, for illuminating power, is unapproached, and ex hibits principles in science never before brought into practice in the production of light from coal gas. The estimated value of the articles connected with the production of light annually sold in the United Kingdom, and the manufacture and sale of which would engage the attention of the company, is about 3,000,0001. With the vast superiority of this company's manufacture of lamps, and the large connection already available, an increase of capital will secure an almost boundless trade. Assuming that 100,0001. only of this trade falls into the company's hands, (an extremely low estimate under the circumstances) there would be ample for the return of 20 per cent. per annum to the shareholders upon the capital of the company. The capital of the company will become immediately re-productive in the extension of its manufactures—the present returns exceeding 20,0001. per annum —and a dividend will be payable to the shareholders at the end of the first 6 months." THE LATE SIR CHARLES NAPIER. —lt is reported that the Queen purposes settling an annuity upon the widow or daughter of the late lamented Sir Charles Napier. Sir Charles latterly felt keenly what he conceived to be neglect on the part of the East India Company. THE MARCHIONESS WELLESLEY.—The Marchioness Wellesley, widow of the distinguished statesman, is now staying at Hampton -court P a l ace i n i mprove d health. The Marchioness has lately been in town, but not in so serious a condition of health as has been stated in some of the provincial papers. The Marchioness has not been suffering from cancer. A CHILD POISONED WITH LAUDANUM.—Yesterday Mr. Brent held an inquest at the Royal George, Lower George-street, Chelsea, on the body of William Parkins, an infant. Sarah Needham, the child's aunt, stated that it had been suffering from an attack of diarrhoea, and on Sunday morning last she advised the mother to give it a spoonful or so of syrup of rhubarb, which was in a bottle in one of the counter drawers. Witness had given the same to her own child with good effect. She then went out, and on her return some time afterwards, the deceased's mother drew her attention to the sleepi ness of the child. She then looked in the drawer, re membering that there was another bottle of the same size and colour of label, containing nearly a pennyworth of laudanum, which witness purchased and used for the toothache, and discovered, to her horror, that her sister had administered the laudanum instead of the syrup of rhubarb. The child was at once taken to a surgeon's, and both the stomach pump, emetics, and other anti dotes were immediately and continuously applied. Mr. Brown, surgeon, of Hans-place, Sloane-street, Chelsea, was also called, and remained with the deceased for ten hours, but, unfortunately, the poison had become ab sorbed into the system, and proved fatal in the night. The coroner expressed his astonishment at the want of caution which had attended the occurrence, and the jury returned a verdict of "Accidentally poisoned." CHOLERA AT NEWCASTLE.—The epidemic continues to prevail in Newcastle and Gateshead. On Monday (the 12th), there were reported for Newcastle, 57 new cases, 10 recoveries, 23 deaths ; for Gateshead the number of attacks is not known, as all the returns have not yet come in, but 27 deaths were reported up to Monday. The local authorities have shown great promptitude and zeal. Meetings have been held of the boards of guardians and the local board of health at Gateshead, at which the attacked, for medical inspector of the General Board of Health was pro vidingpresent, ar medical nd w n inspection measures by house to house visitation, were resolved on, so far as for of the cleansingdistri atsnd the powers of the local authorities admitted. ELECTRIC CLOCKS IN BRUSSELS.—An illuminated electric clock has been placed in front of the Hotel-de- Ville at Brussels, so that the time can be seen as well in the night as in the day. Electric clocks have also been attached to the lamposts in some of the principal streets, and they are in communication with the regulator in the Hotel•de-Ville. They have perfectly succeeded.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 4,000 bales, of which 1,000 Ame rican were taken for export. The market closed heavily, and there was more desire to sell. The sales comprised 3,500 American, 50 Pernam and Marauham, at 6id. ; 50 Bahia, at 6ad. ; and 200 Surat, at 3id. to 4d. per lb. Railway Shares were again very depressed, at a decline of about 2 per cent. The Panama has arrived from Sydney with dates of May 7, and the Marion from Melbourne with advices of June 4, but the amount of gold on board is not known. Pursuing the tenor of the observations which we made yesterday under this head, it deserves to be noticed that the rates of the Foreign Exchanges were yesterday afternoon in several cases decidedly . higher. Paris, 90 days, was at 25 20 to 25 ; Am sterdam, 11 17A to 18 ; Hamburgh, 13 GI to ; and Trieste, 10 58 to 11 2. Paris, short, was also much better ; and the fact is undoubted, as we stated yesterday, that a leading Hebrew firm sent in 100,0001. to the Bank of England. The intelli gence this morning received that the Emperor of Rus sia has rejected the ultimatum, causes not the least surprise, having been expected for nearly a week past. Silver has declined id. per oz., sales having been made of bars and dollars at 60d. to 6did. Whether the demand will be renewed, depends upon the news by the next overland mail. As to the state of the discount market here, there is necessa rily a good demand, but the Banks have ample means to supply it, and the only reason why cash is not more abundant, is that the Bank of England, it is supposed, may yet further put up the rate ; therefore capitalists place their money at " call" only. If the step is to be really adopted within any short period, the sooner it were done the better, as it would rectify the exchanges, and produce altogether a better feeling. With gold arriving, and still to arrive from Australia, however, it might possibly happen that the Bank would find itself above the market rate, or must resort to the injurious step of another altera tion in a downward direction. It is sur prising to see such timidity prevailing, and we have another example of the effects of making money at one time excessively cheap, and then, for want of precaution and foresight, having very suddenly to raise it. Best bills are readily discounted at 4 per cent., and others at something above that quotation. There is not, however, so strong a belief that the Bank will to-morrow raise its terms. The Gold Mine Companies of Australia seem likely, although started much more recently, to make as early returns as the Californian under takings. The Port Philip Company has received 12,0001. by the Marco Polo, being the produce of gold assayed and smelted at the Company's estab lishment in Melbourne, and found to be 411 grains better than standard. The English Stock Market has been fluctuating, and the uncertainty occasioned by the news of the rejection of the ultimatum by Russia. There may, however, be qualifying circumstances that will be made known hereafter. In the " house," money has been in more request, and the sales of stock will account. Such a fall as has occurred is the first for some years, and when the Eastern question was far more threatening, the decline was not nearly so great. As we draw towards the period of the October dividends, there will probably be a partial rally, for a great and sudden fall is almost invariably succeeded by a subsequent improvement, even if such be not long maintained. Consols have been quoted 95i to for transfer, and 95a to 95i for account. Ex chequer Bills have been at 3s. discount, and India Bonds at 2s. premium. The fall of 6 to 7 per cent. in Peruvian Stock in the absence of real sales, and with the same confi dence as ever in its intrinsic value on the part of the holders, utterly disproportioned as it is to the decline of to 1 per cent., and even less in other foreign investments, has occasioned much surprise on the part of the uninitiated, but upon inquiry the matter is more readily explained than would be supposed. A party who has been speculating largely for a rise without adequate means, appears to have become involved, and his accounts being suddenly closed, there were scarcely buyers on any terms, the Bears taking ad vantage of the circumstance. In the interest of the real holder, it would be better if all mere spe culations for an advance were brought to a similar close, as the Bears then would have to buy back, and such undue fluctuation would no* occur. Peruvian being obviously very low, even pre sent state of the Money Market, capitalists would buy if they saw themselves clear of weak time deal ers, as it is supposed they now will be, seeing the stop page of the party alluded to. There have been no bargains this morning. Mexican Stock has ruled at 24 1 i to Grenada Deferred is worth £3i to 9. Sardinian Bonds have been at 94. Russian Four and-a-Half per Cents. have been quoted 100 to , a decline. Dutch Four per Cents. are 971 to /. Spanish Three per Cents. have realised 46i. Railway Shares are still subjected to much vacillation, and prices have been unfavourably acted upon by the embarrassment of one or two minor dealers.. The settlement of the account has been in progress. The " contangos" have been to per share generally. French shares have been worse also. The Australian Banks have been cheaper again, and the Gold Mines dull. The Land Companies also are heavy. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY. ( From the Official List.)

Although the amount of business doing was com paratively small, factors were firm in their demands, and Monday's prices were supported. From abroad, 12,990 quarters of wheat have come to hand this week. There was a slight improvement in the trade, at very full currencies. Floating cargoes produced quite as much money as last week. There was a fair inquiry for barley - , but no change took place in the quotations. Malt changed hands steadily, at full prices. Several large parcels of oats found buyers at full quotations.

CHRIST'S HOSPITAL.—On Wednesday, the 21st inst., being St. Matthew's day, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, Sheriffs, and Governors of the several royal hospitals, are to attend divine service at Christ's Church, Newgate street, where a sermon is to be preached by the Rev. George Buckle, M.A., late Fellow and Tutor of Oriel College, Oxford. After which they are to repair to the Great Hall in Christ's Hospital, where four orations are to be delivered on the benefits of the royal hospitals by four of the senior scholars, according to annual custom ; in Latin by Henry Ludlow ; in English by John Wil berforce Doran ; in Greek by Henry Jevers ; and in French by Claude Hubert Parez. Two odes will also be recited, one in English on the " Last Days of King Edward V 1.," by Charles William Paxton Watts, and the other in Latin hexaMeters on "Liberia." DEATH OF MR. O'CONNELL, OF GRENAH.—A French country paper, the Impartial de Bretagne, announces the sudden death, in the small town of Dinan, of Mr. John O'Connell, late of Grenah, county Kerry, a brother of the "Irish Liberator." The deceased was, during his long career as a resident landlord on the margin of Killarney's romantic waters, a model of old Irish hospi tality and publi c sp i r i t, conc i l i atory and tru l y l i b era l, of genuine ind e p en d ence, and un i versa ll y popular.

ATE(.I,rII -1 a tt r • RUSSIA AND TURKEY. REJECTION OF THE TURKISH MODIFI- CATIONS. The Prussian Minister at Paris, M. de Hatzfeld, reeeived yesterday a telegraphic message from Berlin, announcing that the Emperor of Russia has rejected the modifications which were mad' by the Porte to the Vienna note. The news from Constantinople, Aug, 31, re ceived by electric telegraph, is as follows " All regular communication with the Russian ports is interrupted." " The last mail steamer which went to Odessa has not returned." " The remainder of the Egyptian fleet has arrived." It is said that Omer Pasha addressed to the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian army a letter, stating that the Russian gun-boats approached too near the fortifications on the right bank of the Danube, and recommending that orders should be given to prevent this, lest the Turks were com pelled to fire on them. Prince Gortschakoff wrote en the back of the letter—" a des coups des canons on reponda par des coups des canons. _ All - the merchants of Ibrail and Galatz are ruined. In consequence of the news from England in the early spring they had bought vast quantities of the standing crops in the interior. Since there are no vessels to ship off the corn which is daily arriving, and no granaries in which to deposit it, immense heaps are lying in the streets uncovered and wasting. The Russian forces in the Principalities and in Bessarabia amount to 110,000 infantry, and 25,000 cavalry. The Postampt Gazette of Frankfort has the fol lowing from Constantinople, 30th ult. :—" Omer Pacha is placed in a very disagreeable position ; his troops have declared to him that they wish to come to blows with the Russians. He cannot op pose this feeling, and, on the other hand, he fears that the enthusiasm of his soldiers will derange existing diplomatic combinations. The position of Redschid Pacha is not less unpleasant ; every day hundred of persons assemble before his palace, and exclaim that war is the only means of safety for Turkey." The same journal states from Brailow in Wal lachia, that the troops under G enera l L u d ers w hi c h hitherto had been stationary in Bessarabia, crossed the Russian frontier into Moldavia on the 28th of August. On that day one regiment marched in and two more followed on the 29th, and entered Brailow. Other troops are to follow. It is stated that the navigation of the Sulina mouth is getting more difficult from day to day. The water is so low that sailing ships cannot pass at all. The steamer which was to remove the sand does not work ; it only pretends to work. From Vienna we learn that the departure of the Consuls of France and England from Jassy, had produced great alarm throughout the whole of Moldavia. The Postampt Gazette of Frankfort states from Vienna that the Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia will arrive at the camp of Olmutz on the 21st inst. M. Nogues, chief editor of the Journal de Con stantinople, has, says a letter from that capital, re ceived a warning from the Ottoman Porte not to publish any articles hostile to Russia, on pain of the suppression of the journal. The Wanderer of Vienna, under date of Con stantinople 29th, says :—" A Greek society has re cently been formed in London, at the head of which is Prince Mavrocodato. It is principally composed of merchants. Its object is to raise the necessary funds for forming a confederation of Albanians and Bulgarians. It is easy to conceive what the destination of this confederation is—it certainly is not in favour of Turkey. This society was discovered by a Turkish agent of police. We do not yet know what measures the Ottoman Go vernment will adopt against this association, but it may occasion great embarrassment to it, as the ma jority of the members are foreigners placed under the protection of their consuls." Almost all the English sailors who were suffer ing from fever, and who were sent to Malta to be cured, have returned to the Bay of Besika. Their health is completely restored. FRANCE. It was reported in Paris yesterday that the Emperor of Russia has not only refused his assent to the Vienna note with the modifications of the Porte, but also has declared his determination not to accept any note whatever, in consequence of the Porte having thought proper to make those changes or additions, seeing that the condition of his accept ance of it, as it emated from the Vienna confe rence, was that no such additions should be made. It was further stated that hostilities had already commenced. The Emperor and Empress were present on the 12th inst. at the re-opening of the Grand Opera, with the representation of the Huguenots. On their arrival and on their departure for St. Cloud, after the performance, their Majesties, both within and without the house, were most enthusiastically cheered. There is a long article in the Assemblee .Na tionale calling upon the governments of Europe to put down radical and revolutionary principles in Switzerland. A letter from Lille states that preparations on the most magnificent scale are making for the re ception of the Emperor in that city. Out of the 150,000 f. voted by the Municipal Council on the occasion, 25,000 f. have been set aside for distribu tion to the poor. Throughout the whole of the city masts are being erected for flags and extensive apparatus for burning the electric light. The ball room, which has been erected at the Hotel de Ville, is calculated to comfortably accommodate 4,000 persons. The Porte de Paris, a monument of the conquest of 1667, has been completely cleaned and repaired. The tent prepared for the Emperor, and in which the Mayor will present his Majesty with the keys of the city, is said to be a chef d' ceuvre. The Chamber of Commerce of Lyons has just expressed a wish that the government should im mediately authorise the introduction of foreign coal free of duty. The Bourse was agitated with various reports which shook the confidence of the speculators in the preservation of the peace of Europe, and pro duced a further decline in the value of Public Se curities. These reports forced the Three per Cents., which opened at 77f. 25c., down to 77f. 15c., at which price they closed for the end of the month. The Four-and-a-Half per Cents. closed at 101 f. 10c. ; Orleans Railway Shares, 1,225 f. ; Rouen, 1,060 f. ; Havre, 510 f. ; Great Northern, .870 f. ; Paris and Strasburg, 918 f. 75c. ; Lyons to the Mediterranean, 770 f. ; Western of France, 735 f. ; Bordeaux and Cette, 612 f. 50c. ; Great Central, 525 f. ; Lyons and Geneva, 540 f. ; Shares of the Bank of Credit Mobilier, 787 f. 50c. GERMANY. The Elector of Hesse has conferred on Count de Buol Schauenstein, Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs, the insignia of the order of the Golden Lion ; and on M. de Dalwigh, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Grand Ducal Hesse, the Grand Cross of the Order of William. The Journal de Francfort states that the prose cution against M. de Lossberg, major in the revo lutionary army of Baden, has terminated in his acquittal on the charge of high treason. He was condemned to three months' imprisonment for breach of trust, but as his preventive detention was taken into the account he was immediately set at liberty. The police of Straubing, in Bavaria, has just dissolved the association for the education of work men in that place. It was the only one tolerated in Bavaria. AUSTRIA. The Prefecture of Finance at Venice has issued an order for the collection of an additional tax, like that lately imposed upon the provinces of Lom bardy, in order to cover the deficit of 1852. The Committee of Sequestrations at Venice has issued a notice, calling upon all persons having pecuniary claims upon the sequestrated property of thirty refugees therein named, to make them known within the delay fixed by the imperial de cree.

Some Italian emigrants, says the Parlament° of Turin, on recently attempting to cross the Eastern frontier of the Sardinian states, not far from Sar zana, were prevented from passing by the Pied montese police. The Savoy Gazette announces that the cir cular of the Minister of War, which declares the Christian Brethren and the Brethren of the Holy Family liable to military service, received its exe cution for the first time at Chambery on the Bth, when one of the former, named Father Monarchon of St. Ivoire, was incorporated in a regiment.

M. Meudizabal is seriously ill. The Council of Ministers has resolved to abandon the prosecution commenced against M. Olozags for his address to the electors. The Minister of Marine has been to Madrid to consult M. Cortina on the affair relative to the con tract for coal for steamers entered into London; M. Cortina gave him a written opinion that h e bad acted with perfect regularity. This he presented to his colleagues ; but they, thinking that M.
