( 03 in LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1853. The Russian AUTOCRAT has crowned, by his in solent Manifesto published towards the close of October in the Journal de St. Petersburg, that werogant policy which was commenced by the haughty, and, as it may now be termed, the pre datory mission entrusted to Prince MENSCRIKOFF. There can no longer be any doubt whatever of that. It cannot for a single instant longer be supposed that any one can really be deceived into the belief that the CZAR is actuated by other motives than those of lawless depredation. We don't, fancy that even the most sanguine and cre dutous admirer of Lord ABERDEEN can permit him sel.l to be further deluded into the supposition t i nat a really pacific feeling animates the Govern ment of St. Petersburg. Indeed, such cannot for one moment longer be regarded as possible, at a juncture when everybody can recognise at a glance from which quarter the wind blows—a quarter indicated by the sudden creaking round this very morning of the political vane of London, Eng land's notorious and brazen weathercock. It will be perceived from the Times :of to day that the wind has abruptly chopped round. from North to East, and the breath that blew coldly upon Turkey on Saturday, blows yet more coldly upon Russia on Monday. A straw thrown up, we all know, is sufficient to indicate the direction of the faintest current o: air. Assuredly, therefore, it cannot be difficult to detect the course taken by a hurricane power ful enough to blow round in a twinkling a vane that had pointed so long to one invariable point of the diplomatic compass, rusted there by the com bined influence of prejudice and predilection. Briefly—occurrences have at last absolutely neces sitated this tergiversation. An unconditional support of the CZAR has come at length to be impracticable —and this simply because his most notorious acts, ultimately bely his most reitera ted asseverations. Accusing Turkey of having ' l6 o lated treaties, when that violation was I)l4.l3ifestly on the side of Russia, by reason of the rra ' ss age of the Pruth and the occupation of the P • • anci P a lities—the Emperor NicaoriAs has dis closed th e falsehood of his character so glaringly as to preclude supporters from even ha the most infatuated of his the effrontery to afford his, last proceedings thehaving questionable advantage of their approbation. Having caj o l e d the Four Powers long enough to serve his u 113.2.0gehi having de belief luded them int o a ') s pacific inten tions, while deliberately se . • ng all the strong places in Moldo-Wallachi a . h ayino . bulled Western statesmanship into a credence in his integrity at the very time when he was to-ad vancing with a great army on the road wards Constantinople —having deceived the Viennese diplomatists while in the midst of his preparations for a gigantic act of spo liation (unparalleled in the history of Chris tendom)—the AUTOCRAT at length recog,nises that further deception is alike impossible and unneces sary'. He throws aside the mask : he draws the sword, and he flings away the scabbard. His 3 ;lanifesto of October amounts to that--it signifies nothing more nor less—it announces the insolence, and the daring, and the lawlessness of his policy, by coolly charging Turkey with a violation 'of THEATRE ROYAL DRIIRY-LANE.

THE SITN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 14, 1853. treaties, with insults that require to be avenged, with having refused to comply with the urgent and often repeated demands of the rest of the great , Powers of the Eastern hemisphere. Turkey accused by Russia of violating treaties—after the passage of the Pruth by the Cossacks and their formal occu pation of the Danubian Principalities ! Turkey charged by Russia with insults—after the Notes of NESSELRODE, and the mission of MMTSCHIKOFF, and the movements of GORTZCHAKOFF ! Turkey taxed by Russia with refusing to comply with the urgent and reiterated solicitations of the Four Powers—after this last deplorable half-year of (indeed !) blundering negotiation ! Naturally, after the appearance of this Mani festo in the Journal de St. Petersburg, we may look for some change, tardy, no doubt, but total, in the policy pursued towards Russia by the French and British Governments. Shall we be deceived in any such reasonable anticipations ? GOD knows ! It would be difficult to pronounce even now, as far as the Coalition is concerned. It would be difficult, because we can't possibly forget so soon the miserable drivelling about Peace with which the Prime Minister indulged the civic functionaries in Guildhall, as recently as this last past ninth of November. Neither can we lose a remembrance that a precisely similar pusillanimity has been revealed very recently by so many of his motley colleagues in the Adminis tration, as by the President of the Board of Con trol, at Halifax, and by the Finance Minister, at Manchester. Nevertheless, with Lord PALMER STON in the Cabinet, and Sir JAMES GRAHAM at the Admiralty, and the Earl of CLARENDON as Foreign Secretary, and the bare possibility still remaining to us that one of those moments again may tual, be fair to both parties, and get more money for creditors than at present. It is to extend the provision in the County Courts Act to all debts, and not to permit execution to be issued, unless under a well-founded apprehension of the debtor's being about to depart from the jurisdiction until after a judgment summons had been taken out, and the debtor was required to attend a private examination as to his estate and effects, and means or prospects of payment, and to show cause, if any he could, why a warrant should not be issued for his arrest. On this investigation, which might . be conducted at a comparatively trifling ex pense, the presiding Judge might ascertain whe ther the case was one that ought to be sent to the Insolvent Court, to which he might transmit it— the imprisonment, however, not to commence un til after the adjudication. If there should be no property, and the case should be deemed worthy of punishment, imprisonment might be authorised for a limited period, at the discretion of the Judge. Any person who had property to give up, might be authorised to petition the In solvent Court, and any creditor should likewise be enabled to demand an investigation at the peril of costs, if required, on insufficient grounds. We believe that these propositions might, if judici ously carried out, provide a basis by which impri sonment for debt, the flagrant iniquity of the 19th century, might be abolished, without injury to any of the parties concerned—nay, more, with advantage to the creditors themselves—as well as to the debtors. A masterly article in reference to " The Reli gious and Political Relations of Russia" adorns the current number of the North British Review, and demands from us the meed of at least some few eulogistic observations. It may be described as a careful digest of the selecter truths contained in the mass of volumes recently published in re gard to the question involved in the Eastern dif ficulty. Nevertheless it is something better than a mere compilation. ' Its author is caiii6;4 l y one who brings to the labour of its composition the advantages of an intimate acquaintance with his subject—his knowledge being derived doubtless from prolonged study and minute investigation. It must be observed, moreover, that the article displays throughout a perfect familiarity with the remote as well as with the contemporary history of the enormous dominions presided over by the Russian AUTOCRAT. Commendation to this ex tent, it must be allowed, will be extorted from even the more prejudiced of his readers by the North British Reviewer. For within the limits of his compact but ingeniously elaborated contribu tion will be found, compressed as already inti mated, the more valuable of the facts and data discoverable in the productions of his predecessors —in the different works, we mean, in relation to Russia, which have latterly poured from the print ing press, whether in London, in Paris, in Leipsic, or in Edinburgh. From the " Lettres Slaves" of CHRISTIAN OSTROWSKI, not less than from the Travels of Dr. AITON in the " Land of the Mes siah "—from the elegant but crotchetty treatise of Mr. EYRE CROWE in reference to " Prospects in the Levant" from HOMMAIR DE HELL'S "Journeys in the Steppes between the Euxine and the Caspian"—from the " Religious Wanderings" of the Abbe MICHON, and from the "Morning Land" of FREDERICK RODENSTEDT—from Pou- JOULAT'S "La France et la Russie 1 Constan tinople," and from the " Histoire de l'Empire Russe," by ICRAmsny—from M. BOUVET'S "La Turquie et les Cabinets de l'Europe," from KUBALSKI'S " Recherches Historiques," from SCHULESKA'S "Das Turkische VerlAngnisz and die Groszmachte," from Mr. URQUHART'S curious ac count of " Russian Progress," and from Mr. FIN LAY'S " Strictures upon Mediaeval Greece and Tre bizond "—from these and from a variety of other sources (some of them anonymous), the writer of this remarkable paper in the North British Review for November has derived an extraordinary amount of valuable and diversified information. To another authority, however—an authority not yet particularised—must the author be said to have been most largely indebted both for the facts advanced and for the arguments of which those facts have been directly originative. Allusion is here made to the important annals of the Slavonic population, submitted two years ago to the lettered community by a publicist no less eminent than the COUllt VALERIAN KRASINSKI; from that authority, in particular, it is sufficiently obvious that the writer in the North British Rerien, has drawn his inspiration. His argument breathes throughout the spirit of that already repeatedly advanced by Count KRASINSKI in his more pretentious and ela borated publications. According to the opinion here set forth by the reviewer, " the tendency of Russia con tinually to advance towards Constantinople is the necessary consequence of her geographical position as well as of her past course of re ligious and political development." He considers this course to be influen3ed by what he terms very happily " the law of ethnical gravitation." No less happily is it remarked by him a moment afterwards that, situated midway between Europe and the East, Russia " belongs by the nature of her ecclesiastical and civil polity more to the latter than to the former type of social development," and this in spite of PETER the Great having forced upon her " the varnish of western civilisation." At the present juncture we conceive it to be a matter of duty with us, as conscientious journal ists, to direct attention in a very express and earnest manner to an argument like that contained in the current number of the North British Re view, a contribution especially honourable to the writer and peculiarly creditable, in consequence, to our esteemed contemporary. ;MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at 5,000 bales, all to the trade. The market was firm at previous rates. The sales com prised 4,500 American, 100 Egyptian at 62d. to Thd., and 200 Surat at 21d. to 31d. per lb. Rail iway Shares were fiat. The ship Indian Queen arrived at Liverpool, from Melbourne, brings advices a few days later in the month of August. She has performed the voy age out and home in 5 months and 27 days. There are no letters in town yet. The Shanghai steamer, with the London mail of July 8, arrived at King George's Sound on the Ist September, and would leave that place on the 3d. She was expected to reach Sydney on the 18th, and would leave with the return mail on the 21st. Her mails, therefore, will probably reach London by the end of this month. The advices from New York report a dull and depressed stock market. The Bank of the State of New York had declared a dividend for the half year of 4 per cent., and the Bank of Montreal of 31 per cent. From the weekly returns of the City Banks we find that there was a decrease in discounts, de posits, and circulation, while the specie was aug mented. For the month of October the total coinage at the United States Mint is given at $3,011,926, exclusive of $5,317,162 converted into bars. The total deposits during the month amounted to $5,052,000. The shipments of specie during the week ending Oct. 29 were $502,963. United States stocks to the extent of $573,850 had been redeemed at the Treasury department. Bread stuffs were active and getting dearer. Cotton was heavy, notwithstanding the unfavourable reports respecting the crops. The arrivals of bullion are large this morning. The Asia has nearly a million of dollars on board, and the Indian Queen is reported to bring 200,0001. The English Stock market is firmer, with a fair money business doing. Consols have been 94i 1, and since 94i The time bargains have been at 94 to 1. The foreign intelligence is of a chequered character, and although the Turks appear to have been successful, the reports current that they have since been beaten in a great pitched battle occasion uneasiness. The New 3 per Cents. have been quoted 95i to 951, and the 3 per Cents. 931 to 2. Bank Stock has been flatter at 216. Exchequer Bills are 2s. to ss. premium, and India Bonds ls. discount. Foreign Stocks are very inactive. The Spanish Committee's Certificate is at 51. Mexican Bonds have been steadier at 25&. The Greek Deferred stock is worth 71. Sardinian Bonds have realised 901 to 91. There has been a bargain in Belgian 4 per Cents., at 94k, and in the Swedish 4 per Cents. at 92. The Railway Share market has been dull, but there has not been any change of importance in the quotations. The foreign shares are very quiet also, but firm. The Gold Mines have been merely nominal. The shares of the Land Companies are dull also, and there is but little doing in the banks. The railway meetings announced are the fol lowing : Company. Date. Place, &c.

NEW YORE, Nov. 2—The Princess Charlotte, from Pa: took harbour, Mosquito Territory to London, has put in leaky.

NEW HOTEL AT THE EUSTON STATlON.—Preparations are now being made by the directors of the London and North-Western Railway for the erection of an additional hotel at the Euston station, for the use of second and third class passengers travelling by that railway. ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO ROB THE LOMBARD-STREET POST-OFFICE.—In consequence of the burglary at this establishment last week, a number of men have been employed in forming holes in the masonry of the window sills, for the puopose of fixing strong gratings. On Friday morning they found, on coming to their work, that another attempt to break into the office had been made during the previous night, and that the thieves had almost succeeded in cutting out the entire casement. FALL OF A HOUSE IN WEST SKITHPrELD.—On Satur day afternoon the inhabitants of West Smithfield and Great Bartholomew-close were thrown into a state of the greatest alarm by the falling of the house numbered 57, West Smithfield, injuring in the debris four men who were employed on the roof, taking down a massive chim ney. About five weeks since the house above mentioned, with the two adjoining, was completely gutted by fire, and after having been surveyed were condemned. Since then no precautionary measures were adopted to ensure their stability. One poor fellow, named Charles Bow ness, was so injuriously injured that he was taken to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where he remains in a pre carious state. The houses above alluded to are very ancient, being coeval with the dissolution of the Priory of St. Bartholomew. ORANGE AND LEMON DIITIES.—The Customs autho rities have had under consideration the course to be pur sued with reference to the 76th section of the act 16th and 17th Viet., cap. 107, which excepts oranges from any allowance for damage. Oranges and lemons are charged with duty, whether sound or otherwise ; but under the 105th section of the new act, on the request of the importer or proprietor, those which are damaged and unfit for consumption may be destroyed by order co;. the Board, and the duty remitted thereon, and they have issued directions that oranges and lemons are to be mea sured for duty agreeably to the mode hitherto observed with regard to apples, &c., viz., measuring and charging only such portion as in the opinion of the officers may fairly be considered to be fit for consumption. ODESSA TO CONSTANTINOPLE. LATEST FOREIGN NEWS. RUSSIA AND TURKEY. All the reports of a grand battle, and the taking of Bucharest by the Turks, are till now unfounded. On the-3d Prince Gortschakoff received orders to assume the offensive, all projects of compromise having proved unsuccessful. The Austrian Correspondenz says :—" Prince Gortschakoff, accompanied by his whole staff, ad vanced towards Oltenitza on the Bth. The Turks have sent considerable masses of troops across to Turtukai. A renewed attack from the Turks was hourly expected." Prince Gortschakoff has left Bucharest for Olte nitza with 24,000 men, to attack the Turks. The Turkish force there is only 9,000 strong. A battle was hourly expected The Moniteur confirms the accounts published yesterday of a victory gained by the Turks, on the 4th, near Oltenitza. The Turks numbered not more than 9,000. General Dannenberg commanded the Russians, who sustained a loss of 1,200 men killed and wounded. Nearly all the Russian officers in command and several colonels were wounded. It was in contemplation to attack the Turks this day or to-morrow, with a force of 24,000 men. The following is Count Nesselrode's circular, dated St. Petersburg, Oct. 19 : " The efforts which we have not ceased to make for the last eight months for the arrangement a l'aimable of our differences with the Ottoman Porte, have, un fortunately, been without effect to the present day. Nay more, the situation seems to become more aggra vated each day. Whilst the Emperor offered, during his interview with his intimate friend and ally, the Emperor Francis Joseph, fresh facilities to the Austrian Cabinet to explain the misunderstanding which attaches to the motives stated by us for rejecting the modifica tions which the Porte desired to introduce in the note drawn up at Vienna, the Porte yielding, notwith standing the counsels of the European Representa tives at Constantinople, to the warlike ideas and the fanaticism of the Mussulmans, has, as you will have learned, formally declared war against us. That rash step has, however, in nowise changed the pacific dispo sition of the Emperor. Wo still do not abandon, on that account, the resolutions announced from the be ginning in our circular of the 20th of June. At that period his Imperial Majesty declared that in occupying provisionally the Principalities as a material security for the satisfaction he demands, he was unwilling to carry any further the measures of coercion, but rather to avoid an offensive war, so long as his dignity and his interests permitted him to do so. At the present moment, and notwithstanding the fresh provocation offered to him, the intentions of my august master remain the same. In possession of the materialpledge which the occupation of the Principalities gives us, though still ready, in I fulfilment of our promise, to evacuate them the mo ment that we obtain satisfaction, we shall content ourselves with maintaining our position there, remain ing on the defensive so long as we are not forced to abandon the limits within which we desire to confine our action. We will await the attack of the Turks without taking the initiative of hostilities. It will then entirely depend on other Powers not to widen the limits of the war, if the Turks persist in waging it against us, and not to give to it any other character than that which we mean to leave to it. That situation of expec tancy does not place any obstacle to the carrying on of negotiations. After the declaration of war it is not to Russia that it belongs to seek for new expedients, nor to take the initiative in overtures of conciliation. But if, when better enlightened as to its interest, the Porte will manifest a disposition to propose or to receive similar overtures, it is not the Emperor who will place any ob stacles to their being taken into consideration. Such, Monsieur, is all that, for the moment, it is permitted to me to inform you of, in the uncertainty we are as to the warlike project it has just adopted, Inform the Cabinet to which you are accredited of our eventual in tentions. They furnish an additional proof of the desire of our august master to limit as much as possible, the circle of hostilities, if they should unhappily take place, and to spare the consequences of them to the rest of Europe. " Receive, &c., " NESSELRODE." From Vienna we learn, though we have consid erable doubt with respect to it, that the victory of the Turks, which was owing to treachery, was more complete than is generally supposed. The outposts nearest the river were poles, and they not only permitted the Turks to cross without giving notice of their approach, but assisted them in the work of death. The cannonade, as at first stated, actually lasted, with slight interruptions, 28 hours. The date was a mistake : the affair began in the night between the Ist and 2d, and lasted until the 3d. The chance of an arrangement between Turkey and Russia may be gleaned from the following statement which we have received from Vienna : The Porte is resolved to treat only on the follow. iug conditions— " 1. All the strong places in the Principalities to be given into the hands of the Turks. " 2. Complete evacuation of the Principalities in the shortest possible time. " 3. The guarantee of all the Powers against a similar invasion." Letters of the 29th, from the Danube, mention that all the forts and batteries established on the right bank of the river were completely armed and defended by numerous garrisons, and that two corps de reserve were organised, one to prevent the Russians from crossing in case they attempted any thing of the kind, and the other to second the movements of the Turkish troops operating in Wallachia. The Journal de St. Petersburg contains an an nouncement of the Minister of Finance, from which it appears that an embargo will be laid on Turkish vessels in Russian harbours on the 22d of Nov. After that date Turkish merchant vessels will be declared lawful prizes, even though they may have other than Turkish property on board. Neutrals will enjoy complete freedom, even after the commencement of hostilities. The Patrie has a letter from Constantinople of the 29th ult., stating that the Turkish fleet has chased some Russian vessels, and driven them into Sebastopol. A private letter from Vienna states that some fresh details had been recently received by tele graph of the engagement which had taken place between the Turks and Russians. It appears that in this rencontre, which was very warm, General Pauloff was wounded in the thigh by a ball, and Lieut.-Colonel Chereskoff killed. The names of the other officers who have perished are not yet known. The Lloyd of Vienna publishes the following as the text of the reply of Prince Gortschakoff to the summons of Omer Pacha, of which so many con tradictory versions have been given : _ "Bucharest, Sept. 28 (Oct. 10.) "Monsieur le Muchir,--I have the honour to inform your Excellency that I yesterday morning received the letter which you addressed to me under date of the 26th. Without entering into an examination of that commu nication, I think it my duty to inform your Excellency that I have no power from the Emperor, my master, to treat for peace or war, or the evacuation of the Princi palities by the troops confided to my command. Re ceived, Monsieur le Muchir, the assurance of my high consideration, "Prince GORTSCHAKOFF. " To his Excellency Omer Pacha." A letter from Bucharest of the 31st ult. says : " The following is a copy of the letter addressed by Prince Stirbey to the Extraordinary Council of Admin. iFitration " 'The present state of things requires us to absent ourselves temporarily from our Principality. We con fide, until new orders, the government of the country to the Council of Administration. H.

The Siecle says :—" If our information be cor rect, a letter of the 30th ult. has been received from Constantinople announcing that the Turkish Go vernment had definitively set aside the project of arrangement proposed by Lord Redcliffe. Reschid Pacha is said to have declared in the name of the Ministry and of the Grand Council of the Empire, that war having broken out in spite of the forbear ance shown by the Porte there was no longer any question of the solution of a special point. A new treaty must, Reschid Pacha is said to have ob served, now regulate the relations between Turkey and Russia, and the Sultan hopes, with the aid of God and of his allies, that the new treaty will raise a solid barrier against the ambition which in cessantly endangers the peace of the world. The arrival of the combined fleet in the Bosphorous is said to have been the result of the state of affairs created by the definitive commencement of hostili ties, and the final rejection of all arrangement baying for its starting point the unfortunate Note of Vienna." The Cologne Gazette, under date of Berlin 9th, says :—" The Prussian Moniteur of to-day gives the news, by telegraphic despatch, that six Rus sian battalions had carried by assault the Turkish position at Oltenitza, but we learn from a source worthy of credit that the Russians were repulsed with loss. Being supported by a well kept up fire of artillery, the position is naturally very strong. The left wing of the Turks is covered by th e river Aardzich, and the right by swamps. In its rea r it has Sillstria and the fortified point of Voturkh on. It is the first point of passage of the Danube below Roustjouck. Omer Pacha having fixed the atten tion of the Russians by marching on Kalaf at, Giurgewo, Oltenitza, and Kalarasch, appears to wish to advance with his main force towards Bu charest, passing by Oltenitza. Bucharest is °n i l four days' march from the Danube. The Nuremberg Correspondent, under date of Constantinople, 27th ult., says :—" The news confirmed that a rencontre has taken place between the Ruisians and Turks in the Caucasus. Th e Russians were driven three leagues from their Pe sitions. The Turks now occupy the Russian lion" tier. It is positively stated thst the Sultan ba n , sent 1,000 purses (135,000 f.) as a reward to victorious troops." come— " When languid JOHNNY glows to glorious JOHN," it may yet be questioned whether past occurrences have actually brought about an irretrievable loss of character to the present Administration. The perfectly monstrous arrogance of the position at last assumed by the Russian AUTOCRAT may just possibly, at the eleventh hour and three quarters, drive the Coalition into a course worthy in some manner of a British Government. Important and interesting as have been the various inquiries instituted under the auspices of the Society for Promoting the Amendment of the Law, there is one subject of paramount conse quence which has not yet been touched on. No question respecting the propriety or utility of im prisonment for debt has been referred to a com mittee to report on. Thousands of British citi zens are kept in a state worse than felons, for there is no certainty with respect to the duration of their punishment. The Crown itself cannot remit the punishment to which they are subjected. Convicts who have been sentenced to transporta tion beyond the seas for life or for protracted terms of years, may obtain tickets of leave, au thorising them to remain at large during good behaviour. No such relaxation is permitted to the mere debtor, who could not, even on the most undoubted security for his return, be released for a single hour to receive the last sad greetings from a dying wife or child. And yet the causes that led to this extreme rigour have been greatly, if not altogether, removed. It is impossible for a person now to retain adverse possession of property. There are so many modes in which creditors can attack any kind of estate, real or personal, that we cannot now, as iu the olden time, see men living luxuriously in prisons on the money that ought to be applied in liquidation of their just liabilities. That system is altogether changed through the alterations in the law, and why should not its adjunct, that of detaining men, who have nothing to give up in close confinement, casting their sup port on the counties in which they are incarce rated, and that of their helpless families on the several unions in which they may be entitled to settlements ? Thousands are exposed to this iniquitous system, punished without having done anything worthy of punishment, and that not on the sentence of a competent tribunal, but at the mere will and pleasure of an exasperated, and too often a vindictive, creditor, and not for a fixed or certain period, but for an indefinite term, until the sufferer be totally forgotten ; his creditor being removed to another world, and there being no person on earth capable of giving him a dis charge. Surely the system that tolerates such proceedings, or under cover whereof they are transacted, imperatively demands a close and searching investigation. Surely, even if some portion of it should necessarily be retained, the gross and palpable abuses ought to be removed, and that fully and completely, so that no ves tige thereof may remain as a memorial to posterity of the folly and wickedness of their ancestors. We have already stated that the only cause for which imprisonment for debt was tolerated— namely, a compulsory surrender of property—has been removed. If not, let any possible enactment be framed for that purpose—let the debtor, who declines paying after a certain notice, be divested of every particle of property, and let him when called on be compelled to attend before a Judge, and to give ample information on every point on which it may be required or desirable ; but let him not be subject to arrest at any moment, liable to be dragged away from his family, from his employment—deprived of the means of earning an honest livelihood, with all his prospects in life blasted and destroyed, because a creditor chooses recklessly and wantonly to exercise a power with which he has been very improvidently entrusted. It is impossible to estimate the amount of mischief that has been occasioned to innocent persons by the imprudent use of this dangerous weapon, and that without any corresponding benefit ; or, in deed, the slightest advantage whatsoever to the creditors. W e are fi rm l y covinced that money which might otherwise be paid is constantly lost to creditors, and so is the amount expended in bringing parties through the Insolvent Court, which, we believe, far exceeds the amount re ceived by creditors through its intervention. It may be said that this Insolvent Court affords a means to every person of getting free. It is un questionably a great improvement on the older system, and affords a vast quantity of relief to those who, but for its aid, would linger in hope less misery. But, without taking into considera tion the injury done by the publicity that attends s u all the proceedings , and which p reve nts a person who has gone th r ough in t d h e e pe o n r d d e e n a t l m fro a m n, whichb =.e quently becoming an paralyses his exertions through life, exerc i sing the most demoralising influence —there are many unable to avail themselves of its assistance. There are hundreds too poor to become insolvents, who are without the means of going through the court. It must be remembered that it costs, in any case at all complicated, from 201. to 401. to obtain the benefit of the act ! and that in many instances the bill which must be liquidated before the hearing greatly exceeds the latter amount—a sum not often within the means of a prisoner in close confinement, who is not, according to the theory, allowed to make away with his pro perty, but in practice is compelled to do so if he wishes to obtain relief. The Insolvent Court may still be necessary for the administration of estates and effects ; but other inquiries should be insti tuted before an appeal thereto be rendered indis pensable. In nine cases out of ten there is no property to be distributed. No dividend is paid to the creditor. Why, then, send the nine cases i i t t n s n j e u c r e isd saaill ri to l take up the time of the Court ? Why bring parties us e l ess ly an d wantonly within It may be asked, by what means would we sub ject the fraudulent debtor to punishment, and insure the fair division of his assets amongst the creditors. Although it is not our duty to provide a substitute, it being sufficient to point out the evil, and leave it to the 'wisdom of Parliament to discover an adequate remedy, we shall offer a we believe, prove effec suggestion which would, THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT AND THE TELEGRAPH. The Moniteur of the 9th instant publishes some facts which are of interest to the travelling and commercial public. It states that the Government bas just opened two new offices in Paris for the transmission of telegra phic despatches to England and elsewhere, one at the Or leans Railway station, the other at the station of the Northern line. There are now, therefore, four offices opened in all—at the Ministry of the Interior, 103, Rue de Grenelle, St. Germain ; at 83, Rue Richelieu, opposite the Exchange ; and at the Northern and Orleans Rail way Termini. The Moniteur cautions the public as follows :—" The public is informed that no telegraphic message can leave Paris unless it has been presented at one of the above named offices. Persons who remit their de-patches through agencies established by private parties, who are always compelled afterwards to present them at the Go vernment offices, subject themselves not only to delays, which are often considerable, but they also frequently pay much higher than those fixed by law. " No Inquiries, or other letters, are received by the French telegraphic authorities unless prepaid." TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Professor Maurice has been definitely removed from the chair of Ecclesiastical History by the Council of King's College, in consequence of the doubts respect ing his orthodoxy, suggested by a volume of "Theolo gical Essays" recently published by the rev. gentleman; and yet the Rev. Dr. Pusey, who has been the instru ment of supplying Rome with so many converts from the Established Church, is allowed to remain at Oxford, and with impunity is permitted to instil into the minds of the students the most unscriptural Tractarian dogmas. The Very Rev. G. A. Denison is permitted to promul gate the Popish doctrine of transubstantiation in the diocese of Bath and Wells. What inconsistency ! As a lover of justice, placing both parties in juxtaposition, I ask, Which is most culpable ?—I am, Sir, yours obe diently-, THOS. MORGAN. 4, Newington-causeway, Nov. 8.

A MAP BY JAMES WYLD. A splendid pocket-folding map has, within the last few hours, been issued from Mr. James Wyld's establishment;displayinv with inimitable ac uracy, clearness, and exactitude, the country lying be tween Odessa and Constantinople. So minute in its particularity are the details of this admirable map, that it will be found to distinguish from each other, by a most ingenious arrangement, four dif ferent kinds of roads intersecting those territories —the great roads, the cross roads, the circuit roads, and the roads for carriages. It indicates, more over, every spot marked by a fort or battery, a khan or inn, a village, a small town, or a Greek monastery—pointing out, of course, he more not able features in the landscape, such, for example, as the chief cities of Sandjaks, or governments. Really excellent as have been several of the maps recently published already of that " Cynosure of neighbour ing [and also of remote] eyes," the seat of war between Russia and Turkey, not one has yet appeared in any way comparable to the pocket-folding map here particularised. It reflects new credit upon Mr. Wyld's enterprise, will tend, we doubt not, mate rially to extend his reputation, and in doing so will add another to the crowded honours of his great geographic establishment. In what must have been otherwise an unoccupied position on the map, namely, in one part of the broad waters of the Euxine, we observe introduced a " Plan of Schoumla"—another illustration of the chart's completeness. In the south-east corner also, we observe two yet more remarkable, and to the majority, we feel satisfied, yet more welcome additions—one being a minute delineation of the " Bosphorus," and the other of the strait of the " Dardanelles." Looking at the country as it is here minutely displayed Co our observation, we can scarcely feel amazed that the Czar should have found in the dream of a just possible acquisition of European Turkey an altogether irresistible tempta tion. An examination of Mr. Wyld's masterly map of the present seat of war, will, nevertheless, tend only the more, on that account, to convince every intelligent and impartial witness of events of the necessity of obstructing, at all cost, the advance of Russian ambition upon the golden city of Con stantinople. WYLD'S MAP OF TURKEY. As might have been confidently anticipated, Mr. Wyld has again, for the nine hundred and ninety ninth time, justified his popularity as one of the first of living geographers, by issuing a timely and appropriate map of the Ottoman Empire from his establishment. It will be eagerly welcomed, and, we need scarcely add, may be consulted with impli cit reliance upon its authenticity in every essential particular. Undertaking to display to the public at a glance the whole of the extensive dominions embraced under the title of " The Ottoman Em pire," the map of course spreads far by the north west into the European, and by the south east into the Asiatic continent. The Black sea, of course, appears therein in a very central position, and to the north the frontiers of Bessarabia distinctly in dicate the boundary line between the Turkish- Russian territories. Nothing could possibly have come before the community more opportunely. It will enable those who are as yet ignorant of the re lative situation of the places now so often mentioned in the public journals and in general conversation, to acquire the necessary knowledge of the coloca tion of the Pruth, and the Danube, and the Crimea, and the Euxine, and Moldavia, and Wallachia, and Jassy, and Bucharest, and Roumelia, and Adria nople, and the Balkan Mountains, and the straits of the Bosphorus, and the Dardanelles. LA TV INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY). QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco.) THE QUEEN (ON THE PROSECUTION OF HENRY ALLSOPP) V. FRANK JERVIS.- CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Sir Frederick Thesiger applied for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against a person named Frank Jervis, for a libel very extensively circulated against Mr. Henry Allsopp, of Foremark-hall, in the county of Derby. This libel contained some very serious charges against Mr. All sopp, one of these being no less than a charge of the crime of murder. The authorship had, after some diffi culty, been already traced to Mr. Jervis, and, from in formation received, they had reason to believe that several persons had been associated with him for the purpose of circulating these slanders against Mr. Allsopp, with the avowed object of driving him out of the country. This gentleman, Mr. Allsopp, was a ma gistrate and deputy-lieutenant of the county of Stafford, and also magistrate of the county of Derby, and he car ried on a very extensive business as an ale brewer at Burton-upon-Trent. In the year 1849 he took a lease of Foremark-hall from Sir Robert Burdett ; and inas much as in the verses which constituted the lib,l allu sion was made to Mr. Allsopp's conduct towards his tenant farmers, he (Sir F. Thesiger) should mention that it was a stipulation in the lease that Mr. Allsopp should continue to preserve the game in the same way in which it had been preserved during the time Sir Robert Burdett occupied the property. In consequence of this strict preservation of the game the holdings of the farmers and other tenants were let at a very low rent. Mr. Allsopp had resided on the estate ever since it came into his possession, respected and esteemed by all the neighbourhood, and constantly doing kind and good offices towards his tenants. On one occasion, for in stance, the tenants complained that the rabbits had in' creased very much, and an application was made to Mr. Allsopp to allow them to be destroyed. They only wished to have the privilege of shooting them during the months of December and January, but he extended the time until the 9th of February, and afterwards, when that was not found to be sufficient, he gave them liberty to destroy these animals during nine months in the year, offering to assist them in the work both with men and nets. On the 16th of August last Mr. All sopp received by post the libellous verses in question. They were printed, but there was no printer's name affixed to the publication. He had since ascertained that the verses had been sent to all the gentlemen in the neighbourhood, and that they bad been extensively circulated throughout the country, and, according to the statement made by Mr. Jervis himself, they had been posted up at Nottingham, Lei cester, York, and Manchester. Now, Mr. Allsopp was utterly at a loss to know what cause of offence he had ever given Mr. Jervis. This Mr. Jervis was a school master, and kept a commercial school, near Foremark hall. The only circumstance which Mr. Allsopp could suggest to his own mind, as the ground of Mr. Jervis's conduct was, that a boy of one of his (Mr. Allsopp's) ser vants, had been placed at this school, but thinking, on inquiry, that he did not make sufficient pro gress in his learning, Mr. Allsopp removed him, and placed him at another school in the same district. This was the only thing which occurred to Mr. Allsop as was likely to have produced any irritation in the mind of Mr. Jervis, for with him Mr. Allsopp had never had conversation or communication whatever. The verses were beaded " The Marquis of Strichnine." This was in allusion to a report circulated some tune ago that brewers were in the habit of mixing strichnine with their ale ; but it happened that an analysis was made of the ale brewed by Mr. Allsopp by several emi nent chemists, who found it was quite unadulterated, and the consequence was that his business had ever since very much increased. The learned counsel then read the libel, which consisted of some well-written verses, holding up " The Marquis of Strichnine" to ridicule as a game-preserving and exacting landlord, hinting how a doleful tale could be related of a man who had been shot ; and adding— " But no, let it rest, securely profound, The silenced witness is safe underground." The verses then went on to compare "the marquis" to Legree, in Uncle Tom's Cabin, and to suggest that the best thing he could do was to immolate himself by fas tening the noose which should complete his own de struction. Lord Campbell—How is the publication of the libel by the person against whom you apply brought forward on the affidavits ? Sir F. Thesiger—By the admission of the party him self that he was the author. Lord Campbell —Take a rule. ACCIDENTS ON THE LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.On Saturday a fatal accident occurred to William Wallace, a plate-layer in the employ of the London and South Western Company. Wallace was engaged with other men at his vocation, between the Waterloo-road and Vauxhall terminus, when the 9.45 train was approaching, from Windsor. The driver of the engine blew his whistle and shut off the steam, and his mates called to him, but it is believed he became confused. He was knocked down and the train passed over him, cutting his body in half, and severing his legs from his body, which was conveyed to the vault of St. John's Church to await an inquest. The second accident occurred at Wandsworth to a passenger named Bumby, who lived in the High-street. The 11.20 down train from Waterloo-road had arrived at Wandsworth, and, whilst it was still in motion, Mr. Bumby imprudently jumped out. He slipped between the carriage and the platform, and the last carriage passed over his left thigh, causing a compound fracture of the limb and frightfully, lacerating it. Medical aid was promptly procured, but the sufferer lies in a very precarious state. FRANCE.
