A c;f4 aft VaL trtig LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1853. It is earnestly to be hoped that Lord ABERDEEN may at length be satisfied—satisfied, we mean, in paltering with the honour of England so far as to concede both leisure and opportunity to the arro gant ambition of the Russian Government. Con sistent to this extent in upholding his ancient policy, the Noble Earl has hitherto contrived to delay, by every imaginable subterfuge, the repa ration which must inevitably be made by the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh for the extraordinary and warlike measures adopted by it against the unaggressive councils at Constantinople. Infected by the timidity of the " dear " and " excellent " Under-Secretary of M. GUIZOT, the British Min istry has been all this while parleying with the repre sentatives of the CZAR, when energetic efforts ought to have been made atthe cannon's mouth and at the sword's point, to vindicate the outraged rights of Turkey, the insulted laws of Europe, the inde pendence of nations, the force of treaties, the pride, the glory, and the dignity of entire Chris tendom. Every one by this time can perceive the consequences. Every one can at last behold how far the reluctant and hesitating course pursued by the Coalition has enabled the AUTOCRAT to proceed without encountering any serious or resolute ob struction. Hitherto, in fact, up to this very mo ment, the winning game has been in the hands of The attempt to render railway dire c t ors an d the Russian EMPEROR. Hitherto he has advanced railway officials criminally responsible f or every steadily towards the accomplishment of his law- unfortunate accident that happened on the lines less enterprise— w h e th er by the diplomatic me- with which they chanced to be connected, has dium of MIINSCHISOFF, or by the Ministerial in- received a heavy blow and great discouragement. terposition of NESSELRODE, or by the march of the The Lord Chief Baron in a for c ibl e a dd ress to northern troops across the Pruth and the occupa- the jury, on the trial of the Honourable FRAN CIS tion of the Danubian Principalities.

Lookingback over the sad perspective of these mon strous events, and of these most dilatory negotia tions, and remembering that the noble lord the member for Tiverton is at this critical time in the Home Office, instead of at the head of the Foreign Department, we may with reason exclaim from our heart of hearts, " 0 for one hour"—not "of blind, old DANDOLO," but—of PALMERSTON! THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 3, 1853. policy of our oNn. Cabinet, by our knowledge of the manlier and * the more honourably avowed course pursued by that of our neighbours. It was not thus in the days of CANNING, or, yet later, when the seals of the Foreign-office were held in the grasp of PALMERSTON. Deplorable as the fact may be--it is so nevertheless. Throughout the whole of these diplomatic negotiations we have played towards France the part played towards Mr. BURKE by his provincial colleagues. France has declared her sentiments in reference to the treatment of Turkey by the Russian AUTO CRAT with dignified resolution, and all that Eng land, under the guidance of Lord ABERDEEN, has yet allowed herself to do, has been to say " ditto" to the neighbouring Government. The Emperor NAPOLEON has more than once boldly intimated his determination to consent to no inadequate or dishonourable compromise with the councils of St. Petersburgh. His MAJESTY'S Minister for Foreign Affairs, M. DROUYN DE L'HuYs, has an swered the haughty and pragmatical circular note of NESSELRODE, in language eminently well befitting the dignity of a powerful and independent nation —foremost among th e western races of th e European Continent. Whereas, with our rulers, it has been in every way different. Instead of boldly " coming to the point," they have stood doggedly upon all sorts of petty little diplo matic punctilios. They have veiled all their pro ceedingsxwith mystery, and evaded • - even a fe w pi. y na t 0 r syllables by systemati c p revar i ca ti on. ea While the official Zikan of the French Govern ment, the Moniteur, and still more the ex-official organ of the Tuileries the Pays, were courage ously and consistently affording the popular mind assurance that the policy of the EMPEROR and his Ministers would be a calm but resolute vindica tion of the independence of Turkey, and of the rights of Europe, and of the hon.- , our of France and of Christendom—the official and unofficial organs of the Cabinet in Downina street were wavering between a panegyric on the policy of the - Czin and a reluctant expression of regret that too hasty measures head' been adopted by his Government. The truth of this statement may be readily verified by reference to the last quarter's file of the Times newspaper. All that has hitherto been extorted from the leading mem bers of the Coalition Cabinet amounts, we repeat, to the one iterated avowal that they are acting in perfect accord with the councils of the French Government. And thus obscurely, hesitatingly, and timorously have matters been conducted, up to this moment, by our Administrators —thanks to the souvenirs of a worn-out policy still clinging, like burrs, to the mind of that " dear" and " ex cellent" ABERDEEN. It has so happened, con sequently, that we have hung like a clog up to this hour upon the skilful and resolute arm of French diplorbacy. It has so happened, more over,' that the CZAR has pressed forward with daring and unflinching pertinacity, under cover of a grand and golden opportunity. Until, not merely have his soldiers crossed the Pruth and taken violent possession of the Danubian Principalities, but the political agents of his Ab solutism in Moldavia have forbidden Prince GHIKA, the Hospodar of that province, to send further tribute as of yore to his liege Suzerain at Constan tinople. Startled, it would seem, into a tardy recogni- their intelligent brethren, who found a verdict of " wilful murder" against Lord JOHN RUSSELL, on account of the death from destitution of an old woman in the county Mayo, and apparently desir ous of being thenceforward, and for ever, classed in the same category with these model jurors, arrived at the decision that the Hon. F. SCOTT and Mr. BEATTIE were guilty of the manslaughter of the unhappy man, whose fate they earnestly deplored, but for which they were in no degree accountable. The result was, that these gentle men were held to bail, to appear and answer the charge at the Surrey Assizes, and they were yesterday arraigned at Croydon, on the Coroner's inquisition, before the Lord Chief Baron and a Coroner's. Jury, and that they were acquitted as a matter of course, the learned Judge having, before a single particle of evidence was offered, on the mere statement of the counsel for the prosecution, expressly stated his opinion that " a railway chairman or director, who en gaged a special train, was in exactly the same po sitton as an ordinary traveller, and he might rea sonably suppose that all that was necessary to be done would be done by the persons in the employ of the railway upon whom that duty devolved ; and he would not be responsible unless he had done some personal act, or given some di rections, that led to the accident." On this statement, and also the judicial announce ment that " the mere fact of the defendants being the occupants of a special train did not make it incumbent on them to take care that all the necessary arrangements were made at the different stations through which they had to pass. He was of opinion that no such duty was cast upon them ; and that, whether in the case of a chairman or a director of a company, or a manager of the traffic, neither of them was responsible for what might happen at any station over which they had no personal control." This sound common sense, as well as legal view of the transaction, of course, terminated the proceedings. The experienced and eminent counsel who conducted the prosecution at once bowed to the decision of the Judge, and offered no evidence iu support of the in dictment. The defendants were, of course, exone rated from all further liability. But who was to repay them for the annoyance and vexation, loss of time and heavy expenditure incurred by the outra'geous decision of the coroner's jury, through whose conceited self-sufficiency and gross igno rance it occurred that these gentlemen had their names exposed in the criminal calendars as cul prits, who " feloniously killed and slew" one of their fellow-creatures, were compelled to appear, at any personal inconvenience, at the general gaol delivery for the county of Surrey, no matter how urgent their other avocations might be, and to bear the heavy expense of instructing a numerous staff of counsel. The grand jury may chuckle at their own impunity from the consequences of their mis taken verdict-, but they may learn that such gross ignorance as they have displayed is scarcely more defensible than wilful malice, and that, although not legally, they are morally responsible for th e damages incurred through their most absurd and most unjustifiable verdict. MARRIAGES IN HIGH LIFE.—A marriage has been arranged, and will shortly take place, between Mr. Charles Arthur Aylmer and the Hon. Sophia Mackay, daughter of Lord and Lady Reay.—Massey Lopes, Esq., eldest son of Sir Ralph Lopes, of Maristow, Bart., and M.P. for South Devon, is about to lead to the hymeneal altar the only daughter of the worthy baronet of Lupton, Sir John Yarde Buller, the colleague of Sir Ralph Lopes in the representation of the county. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.—Her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert honoured the perfor mances, at the Royal Italian Opera with their presence last evening. The Royal suite consisted of the Hon. Miss Seymour, the Hon. Miss Paget, the Marquis of Ormonde, Colonel Bouverie, and Captain the Hon. Dudley De Ros. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary also honoured the performances with their presence. Their Royal High nesses were accompanied by the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Mecklenburgh-Strelitz, and attended by Lady Suffield and Baron Knesebeck ; Lady Caroline Cust was in attendance on the Hereditary Grand Duchess. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge also honoured the theatre with his presence. DEATH OF THE EARL OF SEAFIELD.—We regret to announce the demise of this nobleman, who expired on Saturday last at Cullen House, the family seat in the county of Banff. The deceased was born in 1778. The earl is succeeded in the family honours and estates by his eldest son, Viscount Reidhaven, who married in 1850, the Hon. Caroline Stuart, youngest daughter of the late Lord Blantyre. THE JUNIOR UNITED SERVICE CLUB.—We hear that the members of this club are about to emulate the ex ample of the Army and Navy, and construct a new club-house on the most extensive and splendid scale. ASSESSED TAXES.—It appears from a return, moved for by Mr. Pellatt, that the reduction, under the new scale of duties, to the 20 highest contracts of composi tion, within the London district, effected under the pre vious act, will be considerable. In most instances the new duties do not reach a third of the former charge. THE HACKNEY CARRIAGE BILL.—Mr. Frewen has given notice of his intention to move, on the third read ing, a clause making the fare between midnight and half-past four in the morning half as much again as the day fare. Mr. F. Scully will also propose a clause im posing a penalty, with liability of suspension of license, on the proprietors, for withdrawing the carriage from hire for two consecutive days, without just cause, or without giving 10 days' notice to the commissioners. FOREIGN EXCHANGES.—By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gives an exchange of 13.41 ; and, the exchange at Hamburg on London at short being 13.4, it follows that gold is 0,41 per cent. dearer in Hamburgh than in London. The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par (accord ing to the last tariff), which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10Ad. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.15 ; and, the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.021, it follows that gold is about 0.58 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 110 per cent., and, the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nomin ally 0.42 per cent. in favour of England ; and, after making allowance for charges of transport, the present rate leaves a small profit on the importation of gold from the United States. GOLD.—The Nelson has arrived from Port Philip, whence she sailed on the 15th of April, with 25,000 ounces of gold, valued at 100,0001. The Golden Land, which left on the Ist of the same month, brings 2,700 ounces. The Blorenge is also reported, but has, it is stated, only 59 ounces. The total specie receiv e d from New York, the West Indies, and Australia has been upwards of 560,0001. Gold has continued to be re mitted to Paris up to the present moment, but the Mint having extended their period for coinage to 54 days, it is now found to be a blank operation, which covers its expenses, but leaves no profit. PRESENTATION.—It is understood that the insurance offices and underwriters interested in the ship Adelaide, which was saved from destruction on her late voyage from South Australia to London, have, after compensa ting the crew for their services, presented Captain Tre mearne with 1,0001. and a silver tea-service. THE LATE FORGERY ON THE NORTH AND SOUTH WALES BANE AT LIVERPOOL.—On Monday, at the Liverpool sessions, Matthew Mudd and John Gore, alias Brown, were charged with fraudulently obtaining the sum of 3001. from the North and South Wales Bank of that town. It appeared that in Julylast a person named Simpson, who had for several years been in Australia, where he had accumulated a considerable sum of money, and left that country in the Lady Flora with 4401., which he in vested in a bill on the Australian Bank, and had cashed on his return to England. Being about to get married, he went to Liverpool, and stopped at the house of a Captain Brown. Captain Brown shortly after proceeded with a vessel to Messina, where Simpson accompanied him, leaving 20/. with a person named Eliza Richardson, to whom he was to have been married, together with the deposit receipt for 3001. The prisoner Gore, who was in the habit of frequenting the house, got possession of the deposit receipt book, and with the assistance of Mudd, who stated to the clerks of the bank that he knew Simpson, and that Gore was that person, got the 300/. out of the bank. They were both found guilty, and the Recorder sentenced them—Gore to transporta tion for seven years, and Mudd, who was recommended to mercy, to imprisonment, with hard labour, for nine months, in addition to a flue of 1001. At the conclusion of the trial the witness Simpson was taken into custody by two of the London detectives, on a charge of being one of the parties to the gold dust robbery on board the Lady Flora, on her homeward passage. Simpson, during his cross examination, admitted that he had gambled a good deal during the passage, and had lost money. He had, he stated, gambled with a passenger named Grawcor, who had been convicted for stealing some of the gold dust in question. It was the opinion in th e cour t, h owever , that the warrant was informal, and could not be acted upon. RAILWAY COMMUNICATION FROM FENCHURCH-STREET o pen e London, for P a leenagveirng ffi a traffic i TO KEW. --This circuitous route of railway communica tion, th e ent i re distance from Fenchurch-street, Black wallt Termi nus to K ew, b eing 18i miles, was publicly openedon s theAl o Monday d h a y a In ; e t s h the near e r w t l h y e t porti on o f the line completing the half circle round : edo Tower, and terminating:-t at Kew-bridge.

The line then pursu es i ts course over the Great Western Railway, and through the more 'westernrti o • p on of Acton. It continues its way in almost loop line of the South Westerna strai g ht di rec ti on t o th e Railway, and terminates e waterworks within a short distance o f t h - near Kew bridge. MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE, THIS DAY. The cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was dull ; sales, 7,000 bales. Shares were lower. The steamer Pacific, from New York, brings very little specie -10,000 dollars and 4201. Stocks on the 23d ult. remained much the same. Ex change on London 1081 to 1091. Flour was scarcely maintained. The Continental advices are of a more favourable character as respects the harvest prospects. For the estate of Mr. Thomas Attwood, a capi talist is stated to have offered 280,0001., and this would leave a considerable surplus to Mr. Attwood. The sum to be paid into court by Mr. Hudson, in connection with the York and North Midland suit, has been reduced from 54,0001. to 20,0001. Bills of exchange were taken yesterday afternoon at very firm rates. Paris, 90 days, brought 25 17i to 25 25, Amsterdam 11 17/ t o 18, H a mb ur g 13 6 to 7, and Trieste 10 58 to 11. The Honourable East India Company have ad vanced the rates for bills, on Bengal to 2s. Oid., and on Madras to 2s. Oid. per rupee. The Amalgamated East India Railway Company, it was yesterday decided at the East India House, shall receive a guarantee of 41 per cent. per annum on a capital of eight millions sterling, of which 3,000,0001, will be furnished by the Upper India Company, giving six of its shares for seven of the East India Railway. This arrangement must be regarded, under circumstances, as very satisfactory. The advance generally made yesterday in the rate allowed by the disc o u n t-h ouses f or mone y u p on " call" to 21 per cent., must be considered the natural consequence of the various complications political and social that surround us. The fact that we are importing largely of foreign grain, and that we are sending our gold to the Continent almost as fast as it arrives, is sufficient to explain one phase of the matter ; and the statements in Parliament last evening will increase the apprehension of war. It would be erroneous to infer, however, that money is absolutely scarce. There is a full supply generally, and the immediate cause of the advanced charge is the extreme activity of various branches of commerce, and notably the Australian and American trades, and the large undertakings into which we have entered abroad. The result of all this must be to add considerably to our pro fits, and to turn the balance of trade more de cidedly in our favour. The discount houses being so much under the Bank of England terms, have adopted no extraordinary course, in giving 22 per Cent., as they charge 31 for best bills, and the number of these within the last few days, sent up from Liverpool . and other places, has been greater than of late. :Even the rise in the value of most articles of consi tmption, and the ad vance in freights and wages, acts upon the demand for money, more capital being required to carry on business. There is scarcel y any further margin of profit upon the shipment gold to Paris, now the Mint requires 54 days to meet it, and the pro bability is, that less will be sent. The dearer money becomes here, the less likely it is to be sent abroad. The English Stock Market has been extremely depressed, and large specut ttive sales have been made. The answers last evening of Earl Clarendon and Lord John Russell are not regarded as satis factory, and the advance in t 1 ie value of money has had an effect.

Baker, vicar of Fulham, who objected to pay sewers rate in respect of tithe commuta tion rent charge, upon the grounds that this, in the hands of a spiritual person, was not liable to assessment in re spect of sewers, inasmuch as, even if it were considered property that might be subject to the rate (which he con tended it was not), it was not of that description which could be benefited by the operations of the commis sioners. Mr. Turner (barrister) argued the case at con siderable length. Judgment deferred. CHlNA.—Yesterday a return was painted of property captured or detained by the combined forces in China from the 25th of August, 1841, showing the actual amount of money in British sterling received, and in what manner disposed of, with the amount paid as batta, or on any other account, to the naval and military forces employed during the service.

BABBLING ABOUT BRIGHTON. Everything indicates a busy and successful meeting. The town is filled with sporting visitors, and the number of horses in the neighbourhood is considerably larger than on any former occasion. The Assembly Room at the Old Ship Hotel has been converted for the nonce into a subscription betting room ; but the muster of sporting men there has at present been very scanty. After the fatigue and excitement which attended the Goodwood Meeting, turfites are inclined " to do things on the quiet," and evidently prefer a stroll in the cool of the evening by the sea-side to the active pursuit of speculation in a room which, however commodious and well appointed, must be comparatively warm and un comfortable. Lucy Bank's colt, Hobby Horse, and Harbinger, are the most attractive names among the thirteen nomina tions for the Cup ; and a strong probability exists that the result of the race will be in accordance with the order in which I have set down their names. For the Pavilion Plate I select Sanita, Puritan, and Snarry, and the Biennial Stakes for two-year-olds I as sign to King Tom. _ It would be superfluous to touch upon the other races. I am informed that Calliope met with an accident this morning. She was at exercise on the course, and, bolting, fell over the chains. She cut herself, but not severely ; her rider was, however, conveyed to the Infirmary. A FRESH MAN. Brighton, Tuesday Night.

(Before R. Gurney, Esq.) REMUNERATION TO MEDICAL GENTLEMEN IN CASES OF ACCIDENT IN THE STREETS.-BOWE V. DOLMAN. The plaintiff in this case is a surgeon, and the defen dant is a gentleman , residing at the west end, an d sought to recover the sum of 2/. 2s. for professional services. It appeared that the defendant met with a severe acci dent in Regent-street, and plaintiff and other members of the profession were promptly in attendance. The plaintiff at once took the case under his care, and was in attendance nearly two hours, and defendant was then conveyed to his own residence, where he was attended by one of the other professional men, who, according to plaintiff's evidence, had not in the slightest degree inter fered at the time plaintiff was taking the preliminary course. Defendant, on first seeing the plaintiff, asked him if he was a surgeon, and being answered in the affir mative, placed himself in his hands. The bill of the second gentleman was large, and it was contended that plaintiff ought not to recover as he had volunteered his services. The plaintiff said he had done as any other gentleman would have done under the circumstances. He went im mediately he was called, but very frequently several arrived within a short space of time. The learned Judge said that it appeared there had been a retainer by defendant putting the question as to whether plaintiff was a surgeon ; the after engagement of another did not imply any want of skill, for there might be many causes to engage a gentleman in the immediate neigkbourhood. His Honour gave judgment for U. is., subject to the production of plaintiff's diploma to Mr. Wilkinson, the chief clerk of the court, and the case was adjourned un til to-day for that purpose, which was now done. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and Prince Albert, with the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Helena, and the Princess Louisa, arrived at Buckingham Palace yester day afternoon from Osborne, Isle of Wight. Her Majesty and his Royal Highness — , attended by the Marchioness of Ely, the Hon. Mary Seymour, Colonel the Hon. C. B. Phipps, Colonel Bouverie, Lieut.-Colo• nel F. H. Seymour, and the Master of the Household, left Osborne at 10 minutes before 10 o'clock in the royal yacht Fairy, and crossed to Gosport, where a special train was in readiness to convey the royal party to town. On arriving at the Vauxhall Station of the South- Western Railway, the Queen and Prince, with the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princesses Helena and Louisa, and the royal suite, entered four of the Queen's carriages, and, escorted by a detachment of the 17th Lancers, arrived at the Palace at 25 minutes to 2 o'clock. The Queen and Prince were received, on alighting from their carriage, by the Countess of Gainsborough, Lady-in-Waiting, Lady Caroline Barrington, the lion. Matilda Paget, Maid of Honour in Waiting ; the Mar quis of Breadalbane, Lord Chamberlain ; the Marquis of Ormonde, Lord-in-Waiting; Lord George Lennox, Lord-in-Waiting to Prince Albert ; Lieut.-Colonel the Hon. N. Hood, Groom-in-Waiting ; Colonel Grey, Equerry-in-Waiting ; and Captain the Hon. Dudley de Ros, Equerry-in-Waiting to Prince Albert. Prince Ernest of Leiningen arrived at Osborne en Monday, and accompanied her Majesty and Prince Albert in the Fairy, yesterday morning, to Portsmouth. The Princess Royal and Princess Alice remain at Osborne, attended by Colonel Wylde. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, attended by the Hon. Matilda Paget, the Hon. Mary Seymour, the Marquis of Ormonnde, Colonel Bouverie, and Captain the Hon. Dudley de Ros, honoured the Royal Italian Opera with their presence last evening. A deputation, consisting of Mr. John Wood, Mr. Thomas Henry Hall, Mr. Deputy Harrison, the Re corder, and the City Remembrancer, had an interview with the Earl of Aberdeen yesterday at his official resi dence in Downing-street. Viscount, Palmerston was also present at the interview. A finance committee of the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 was held at the Privy Council-office yesterday. There were present Earl Granville (chair. man), Lord Overstone, Sir A. Spearman, Bart., Sir W. Cubitt, and Mr. Edgar Bowring (secretary). Captain Owen, R.E., also attended. DEPARTURE OF THE QUEEN FROM OSBORNE. PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 2. Her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and two of the younger branches of the royal family, came over to the port to-day, en route to town. The royal party left Osborne a little before 11 o'clock, and embarked at East Cowes soon after, on board the Fairy, Master Com mander Welch, Commodore Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence G.C.H., being on board. In a few minutes afterwards the yacht was under weigh, having the royal standard floating at her main, the union jack at the fore, and the Admiralty flag at the mizen. In anticipation of her Majesty's crossing, the whole of the ships comprising the fleet at Spithead, together with those in harbour, dressed in colours at an early hour in the morning, whilst the Royal standard was hoisted at the Government establishments. As the royal yacht Fairy approached the fleet a royal general salute was fired by the flag-ship Prince Regent, 90, Capt. Hutton, which was immediately taken up by the whole fleet, comprising 18 men-of-war of various sizes. A very heavy cannonade was the result, which must have been heard many miles inland. The ships also manned yards, the seamen being dressed in blue jackets and white trousers. The Fairy passed by the fleet, and as she ap proached the platform battery another royal salute was fired by the garrison, which was taken up by the Vic tory and Neptune, 120, in harbour. A t 5 min utes to 1 2, the Fairy entered the harbour, and was s o o n alongside the Clarence-yard Jetty. At Clarence-yard, the following officials were present to receive her Majesty :—Admiral-Superintendent Fan shawe, C. 8., Commander-in-Chief in the absence of Vice-Admiral Sir T. Cochrane, K. C. B. ; Maj or• Gen eral Simpson, Lieutenant-Governor ; Colonel Commandant Menzies, K.U., Aide-de-Camp to the Queen ; Captain Courtney, Superintendent of Clarence-yard ; John Davies, Esq., Master Attendant ; Joseph Pinhorn, Esq., Storekeeper ; Mills, Esq., Director of th e S ou th- Western Railway Company ; Mr. Beattie, Locomotive Superintendent ; Mr. Scott, Traffic anager ; Mr. Godson, Superintendent ; and M r . St evens, of the Gos port Railway Terminus. A guar d o f honour was in attendance from the Roy a l M ar i nes, w i th the band of that corps, commanded by Li eutenant-Colonel Childs. Her Majesty havin g l ande d , proceeded to the royal train, which immedi a t e l y started for its destinat i on . Her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the royal children, ap peared in good health. LATEST FOREIGN NEWS. FRANCE. A correspondent writes from Paris that "there is nothing of striking interest in the Paris journals on the Eastern question, neither is there anything very new in the information which they give us on the subject. The statement of the Morning Post seems to be received by them as positive, and the inference which they draw from it is, that the Bri tish and French Governments will insist on the immediate evacuation of the Principalities. The general impression appears to be that this sort of ultimatum on the part of England and France will not be rejected by Russia ; but if the account from Constantinople of the Hospodar of Moldavia having put an end to his relations with the Porte, and having thus virtually refused to recognise any longer the suzerainty of the Sultan, be true, ri new and important phasis of the question presents itself ; for the invasion of the Principalities by Russia will not in that case have been a mere temporary occupation, but will Save had the effect of deprivin g the Sultan o f a por ti on o f his territory to add it, at no distant period, to the dominions of the Emperor of Russia, as it is certain that Moldavia cannot exist long in a state of independence. There can be no doubt that the Hospodar of Moldavia has a right to say to Turkey—" By treaty you are bound to pro tect me • the protection which you p rom i se d was the condition on which I recognised your suzerainty. But you leave me without protection against an invading army, and therefore I cease to be your vassal." This would be very good reasoning under ordinary circumstances, and even at present we do not see what other reply the Sultan could make to it than that he was unable to give the promised protection, because the Great Powers who had pledged themselves to cause the integrity of his empire to be respected, had refused to enable him to drive the Russians out of the principalities. It must be evident, however, if what is reported of the Hospodar of Moldavia be true, that this rejec tion of the suzerainty of the Porte has been effected by the influence of Russia, and that the evacuation of the principality will not in this case have the effect of restoring to the Porte the portion of the territory thus detached. France and England, which have tolerated the occupation of the princi palities by Russia, will feel themselves bound to repair the consequences of that occupation by enabling the Sultan to place things on the former footing, and whatever expense this may be attended with must, of course, be chargeable on Russia, for without the Russian invasion this new state of things would not have happened. The Prefect of the Basses Pyrenees has been of ficially informed that the journey of the Emperor and Empress to Pau has been postponed, and will not take place this season. Letters from Brest of the 29th ult. state that a certain activity is displayed in the arming of vessels. The Duguesclin man-of-war and the Pro ser,iine frigate have arrived in the port, and the Armide frigate, towed by the Souffluer, left the port on the morning of the 29th. Rear-Admiral Charner was to hoist his flag on board the Hercule. The French Government have instructed their Consul-General at Bucharest to remove his flag. The Prefect of Police has, in consequence of the discovery of the conspiracies formed to attempt the life of the Emperor at the Hippodrome and the Opera Comique, adopted a regulation which will render the sojourn of improper characters in Paris more difficult. He has published an ordonnance commanding that all servants residing in Paris shall, within three months, under the penalty of imprisonment, provide themselves with a livret at the Prefecture of Police. Any servant not provided with such a livret or certificate shall be expelled from Paris, after an imprisonment of from eight days to three months. A reaction took place at the Bourse yesterday, and public securities have somewhat recovered from the fall they experienced on Monday, closing steadily. The Three per Cents. for cash have regained 20c., and for the account, 15c. ; the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. for cash, 25c., and for the account the whole of the amount of the fall on that day, 10c.

TURKEY AND RUSSIA. The following is from the Paris correspondent of the Times, dated yesterday, 6 p.m. " The Turkish Government, harassed by the conduct of Russia, and having exposed to the world the injustice of that power, has determined to act with vi gour . It has hitherto allowed Russia to have all the ultimatums to herself, and has had to endure the most insulting lan guage that ever one power presumed to address to another with even the slightest • show of indepen dence. While doing so, however we may respect or admire the forbearance, not unmingled with dig nity, which she has shown in her refutation of the charges brought by M. Nesselrode and M. Menschikoff against her, it is certain that she has been on the point of losing her prestige among her own subjects ; and the Turks, whether of the old party or of the ref orm i ng school , allude with pain to the increasing degradation which Russia is inflicting on the Mussulman name. The Porte has roused itself to exertion ; and private accounts from Constantinople, by Vienna, inform me that a note, in the form and with the character of an ultimatum, is to be addressed by it to the Rus sian Government. The note repeats, but in a more precise manner, the various arguments em ployed in its previous communications to Russia; it shows how the Porte evinced every disposi tion and desire to continue on good terms with its neighbours ; that it was always disposed to listen to just complaints, and to remedy them ; that no dis tinction was made between the Christian popula tion and Mussulman subjects—that it has very re cently given proofs of its love of toleration and of impartial justice, in the firmans it has issued, and which sufficiently secure the immunities, privileges, and rights of the Christian population of every deno mination. All this the Sultan has done, but if he be required to do anything more that is inconsis tent with his own honour, and with the honour, the dignity, and the independence of his people, he shall give the same reply he has already given to the ultima tum of Count Nesselrode, namely, a refusal, and that, if the consequence of that refusal be war, war he must accept ; but he leaves it to the world to judge between them, and to pronounce its verdict as to the party that rendered necessary so terrible an alternative. The eva cuation of the Principalities "as soon as possible" is demanded, and this is made in the ultimatum an indis pensable condition of pacific arrangement. The note concludes by reiterating the assurance that the Sultan is ready, should negotiations be accepted, to send an Ambassador Extraordinary to St. Petersburgh. " It is certain that the propositions drawn up by M. de Bruck, and approved by the representatives of the Powers at Constantinople, to which I alluded yester day, have been considered by the French Government, and perhaps also by the English Cabinet, as non avenues ; such, I believe, is the term employed. "With the conduct of Russia throughout the whole of this affair before us, we cease to be surprised at any thing she may do, or at any pretensions she may put for ward. We are now told that that Power alleges, in excuse for her occupation of the Principalities, that the present condition of that portion of the Ottoman territory is such as the convention of Balta Liman supposes to , be a just reason for its occupation —namely, the disorganisation of its Government ; and that, therefore, it is perfectly justified in remaining there until order be restored. It is, unfortunately, true th a t the Government of Moldo-Wallachia is in a state of' dis organisaticin—but it is by the act of Russia herself. It is Russia that has forced the Hospodars to rebellion against their Suzerain, and she no w w i s h es t o pro fi t b y her own misdeeds. She may say that Turkey is at liberty to enter the Principalities, but what could 25,000 or 30,000 men do against 140,000 men, not to speak of the thousands who are ready at a moment's notice to pass the Pruth. " It is certain that the important moment -is now ap proaching, and we shall perhaps know by the 12th of the present month how great or how little are the chances of a pacific arrangement. I am enabled to in form you that the French and English Governments have decidedly agreed on the basis of a common action, and have intimated to the Russian Government that all further hesitation or delay on its part in effecting the evacuation of the Principalities will be consid ered by them as a refusal to do so. I have already mentioned that the similarity sought to be established by Russia between the occupation of the provinces and the presence of the fleet in Besika Bay, had been re peatedly denied. On the present occasion that denial is repeated ; and it is declared that the fleet shall not quit its present anchorage s imultaneously with the withdrawal of the Russian army. The fleets may not remain many days at Besika—perhaps not mo re th an two, three, or four ; but they will remain sufficient time to show the world that no comparison whatever is admitted between the two occupations. The combined action I speak of has reference to both these points, and on them Russia is required by the Governments to give a categorical and a speedy answer. A rumour to this effect had got abroad this afternoon, and the evidence it gave of the continued un derstanding between tho English and French Governments had a corresponding effect on the Bourse. The answer of Russiais, I believe, expected on the 12th, and of whatever kind it may be it must be decisive, as the moment for tergiversation has now passed away. There is no difficulty in believing that the refusal of Russia to reply, or her refusal to act conformably to what is demanded, will be followed by the entrance of the combined fleets into the Dardanelles, and their ad vance to the Bosphorus. With this it is considered not unlikely that a manifesto will be addressed to the Powers o b fy the ee Turkish French question. Government. Were e r e S Such Turkeyis the Western Powers, it is almost certain th i a li t_ v°'`,. I , A d n ot - acceptance of the Menschikoff ultimatum WO considered by Russia as sufficient, and that she u still require more." • a cting thuenspurpespoertent;:, ibtti Prince Ghika, the Hospodar of Moldavia, under Russian influence, has informed the pi; that he must break off all commun ications Nri, o tll ther ' Sultan's Government, and that he would not I future pay any tribute to his late Sovereign/ Sultan. A similar communication is expected from th e Hospodar of Wallachia. dressa It is asserted that the Porte proposes ad d• due an ultimatum to Russia, in which, after paY;no sii i, declare regard to the protection and the rights of tan's Christian subjects, that .
