CORN EXCHANGE. Most of the country markets held on Saturday were but moderately supplied with wheat, in which a fair average business was transacted, and the quotations had an up ward tendency. Barley, the supply of which was very limited, moved off steadily, at extreme rates. Malt, oats, peas, and flour ruled very firm, whilst the value of beans advanced fully is per qr. On the Continent there has been an improved sale for most articles of grain, the value of which has had an up ward tendency. In the United States the demand for wheat and flour has ruled inactive. The arrival of English grain up to our market last week were very limited. From abroad we received 15,312 qrs. of wheat, 8,636 oats, 1,665 beans, 10 peas, 55 tares, 6,557 linseed, 4,707 rapeseed, 25 sundry seeds, 86 sacks and 1,634 brls of flour. The supply of wheat received fresh up to our market this morning, coastwise from Essex and Kent, was very moderate, but in fair average condition. From the east coast the arrivals were extremely limited, and the receipts by land carriage from the midland districts were small. Notwithstanding that the stands exhibited a very mode rate number of samples of both red and white, the demand was less active than for some time past ; indeed, for some time after the opening of the market, very little business was transacted in any transactions; hence we consider the trade rather dull, at last Monday's prices. There were but few inquiries for forward delivery parcels, nevertheless the growers were firm in their demands. With foreign wheat we were but moderately supplied. On the whole, a full average business was doing in Baltic parcels for the east coast, at full quotations. Most other kinds moved off slowly, on former terms. Holders of floating cargoes foom the westward showed more inclination to meet buyers; however, the quotations ruled a shade lower than on this day se'nnight. No English barley was on sale, and the supply of foreign was comparatively trifling. The trade was tolerably firm, and last week's currency was well supported. Malt was in fair supply, and steady inquiry, at full quotations. Very few oats, either home or foreign grown, were brought forward. The sale for them was firm, and, in some instances, good heavy corn was a trifle dearer than on Monday last. We were scantily supplied with beans. White sold slowly, at the late advances in the quotations. In peas, very little was doing ; prices, however, were supported. There was a steady demand for flour, at very full prices.

To-day's market was well supplied with foreign stock, in, for the most part, fair average condition. Good clear ances was effected at very full prices. On the whole, the supply of home-fed beasts was season ably good, whilst its general condition was first-rate The attendance of both town and country butchers was exten sive, and the demand for all breeds ruled somewhat active. In some instances, the very primest Scots were the turn dearer than on Monday last, 4s. Bd. per 81bs. having been obtained for them. She value of short-horns, &c., was freely supported. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,403 Scots and short-horns ; from other parts of England, 500 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c.; and from Scotland, 300 horned and polled Scots. For the time of year, the numbers of sheep were very limited. The sale for all breeds was brisk, at an advance in the currencies of 2d. per 813 s. The best old Downs realised 4s. 10d. per 81bs. without difficulty. We had an improved inquiry for lambs, the prices of which were from td. to 4d. per 81bs. higher than on this day se'nnight. Down lambs sold at from Gs. to Os. 4d. per Sibs. Calves, the supply of which was tolerably good, sold readily at full quotations—viz., from 4s to 5s per 81bs.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS. The supplies of old potatoes continue good, but the de mand for them is ilea% y, and prices, which rule from 60s to 125 s per ton, are almost nominal. Last week's imports were 4 boxes from Guernsey, 9 tons, 1,600 sieves from Dun kirk, 175 baskets from Rotterdam, and 14 baskets from Havre, almost wholly of the present year's growth. WOOL. All descriptions of colonial wool, from the whole of the dealers being now well in stock, are very slow in sale, and the quotations are almost nominal. The buyers of English wool are waiting the result of the approaching early fairs ; hence, the inquiry is very inactive, on former terms. Last week's imports were 15 bales from Monte Video, 80 ditto from Hamburgh, 1,261 from Port Fairy, 3,200 from Syd ney, 43 Alexandria, 2,503 from Geelong, 436 from Auck land, 86 from Ostend, 234 Buenos Ayres, 1,800 from Algoa Bay, 628 from Port Beaufort, 623 from Bombay, 44 from the Cape, 26 from Antwerp, and I,ICO from Launceston.

DEATH OF JAMES RARMER., ESQ. decision ; for Sir James Mackintosh was among his eulo gists, and declared that his evidence before the committee for the reformation of the criminal law was unequalled in its effect. Let us still remember the time when a Recor der could take means to threaten a jury who petitioned for the respite of Eliza Fenning, and then we may estimate Mr. Harmer's courage, when he braved the avowed dan ger of being struck off the Rolls for exposing the delin quency of the wit nesses , an d the mode in which the con viction had been obtained in the case of Holloway and Haggerty. The part he took in the abolition of the hor rible blood-money ought never to be forgotten. Indeed, his well-earned fame assur e d hi s b e i ng retained in every remarkable trial. The night as well as the day was often devoted to the concerns of his clients, for his exer tions were unsparing and untiring, while his perfect frankness and good temper secured him always the kind est attention of all concerned in the administration of justice. He was the legal avenger of the victims of Peterloo, and if he did not do more for the punishment of their butchers, it was because the tyranny of the age defeated him. On the death of Mr. Waithinan he was unanimously elected Alderman of the ward of Farringdon Without, and his services in that office, and as Sheriff, are such as might be expected from one of his experience as well as capacity ; he was humane, merciful, and just. He had learned to look upon life in all its aspects, and he brought the benefit of his knowledge to the exercise of his functions. The practice he relinquished on accepting the rank of Alderman was worth no less than 4,0001. a-year. As Sheriff, he acted in troublous times, and even offered to collect taxes, which were re sisted in person, which had the effect of averting a dan gerous sedition. On that, as on all other occasions, he showed himself a loyal man, a friend indeed of freedom to the height, but a lover of order, and a respecter and supporter of all its representatives. His charities, pub lic and private, belong to a more sacred record : but it is fit to note, on account of the results, that he took a leading part in establishing the Royal Free Hospital in Greville-street, which set the example of receiving all applicants without a governor's order, a course now most happily imitated at other great charitable institu tions of the like description. We have alluded to the opposition raised against his natural succession to the Mayoralty. It must not be supposed that those who had without any kind of solicitation from himself, elected him a Common Councilman and an Alderman with unanimity, suffered him to be defeated without a struggle which should at least confer the honour of a victory. On the show of hands, he was chosen by a large majority ; on the poll, he received the votes of a greater number of liverymen than had voted for the whole four Reform candidates at the previous election. We believe that, whatever tem porary mortification he might have endured, the circum stance really released him to the life he most coveted. All right-minded men desire an old age in the peace of the country. It was granted to him. Without sever ing himself from many objects of most active interest, with which, indeed, his large property kept him con nected, he entered upon a life of peaceful gentlemanlike retirement at Ingress Abbey, such as might be the choice of any wise ambition. His farms, his house estate in Gravesend, his shares in the boat company, not only gave him occupation, but a territorial authority. Many a petty German Sovereign might envy his condition, commanding all he could require without one item• of needless ostentation. When the band of one of his own steam-boats, played the "Fine Old English Gentleman," on his stepping ashore at his own pier at Greenhithe, after an anniversary rejoicing with his establishment of the Dispatch at his own Hotel, part of his estate at Gravesend, there was more in the com pleteness of his influence than in the poor means of the homage, and James Harmer, the weaver's orphan, might be acknowledged a magnate in his land. To the last he enjoyed his position, sometimes entertaining, sometimes entertained by, his civic friends, a welcome guest at their festivals, and even just before the illness which terminated in his death, he presided over a large and happy company at the festival trip of a new steam boat, the Mars ; so that, to the last, he enjoyed his honours and felt the use of his wealth and station. We might say more, but enough for those who did not know him ; for those who did, they might themselves, say more and better. Let his example remain for those who adopt his motto : " Labore et Honore." (From the Weekly Dispatch.) The notice of Mr. Harmer's career, which we feel it our duty, not only to ourselves, but to our readers, to publish, will afford, we are sure, its own vindication in the importance of the many public affairs with which our deceased friend was intimately and influentially con cerned, and should possess that interest, as a picture of an English citizen's career, which would make it a con tribution to the history of the manners of the time. Our regret is not for the acts we have to commemorate. Mr. Harmer was identified in his fortunes with the Dispatch, and he scorned, at the time when the chief honour of his ambition was in his view, to accept that as the price of severing himself from the cause of this paper, while he accepted its emoluments. We know how this assertion will be received by those who opposed him in his candidature for the office of Mayor of London. It is true, nevertheless. The cause he maintained was that right of conscientious public discussion, by those engaged on the press, and charged with the considera tion of public affairs, which he felt that a proprietor had no right to override. All his conduct, before and since, was of a piece with this' conviction, that men who had seriously devoted themselves to the study of public affairs, who were capable of expressing their views to the public, and were accepted by the public as teachers, could not be justly diverted from their path, or biassed in their conduct, by others who had a pecuniary right to their services, but had not bought their convictions. The opinions advocated in this paper, which were made, by the bigots of the tune, the weapons of offence against the public representative of a liberal and progressive journal, might or might not be founded in justice, but we know them to have been conscientious. It is but just to say that the writer who was mainly answerable for them died, as he lived, in the pursuasion of their truth and value, and that, calmly upon his death-bed, aware of his dan ger, he declared he had written nothing which he did not then believe, and which he would not willingly repeat. In this we have no desire whatever to re-open what has been disposed of, but let those who make a great parade of death-bed opinions, and who look upon them as the seals, not only of conscientious judgment, but of abstract truth, learn a little charity, as well as other wisdom, from this fact, and believe that ideas totally opposed to any that they can conceive may be entertained upon con viction, and honestly promulgated as a duty. Let ano ther matter be remembered, that if the assaults upon pretence and hypocrisy have since been tempered, the offences themselves have grown less open and less rampant, and have provoked contempt rather than scorn in those who had to reprove them. The warfare has become more civilised, and the need for demanding a fair hearing even for the most extreme opinions, which was the offence of the Dispatch in the eyes of its remarkably intelligent civic critics, was occasioned by the arrogant inquisi torial bitterness with which the orthodox asserted their right, not merely to damn hereafter, but to be exclu sively heard here. It was the battle of religious free dom of speech which Mr. Harmer became identified with, and in which he and his allies have at least so far triumphed, that there exists not the power in England that dares condemn any man for entertaining and de claring any opinion,' provided it be conscientiously adopted and asserted without unnecessary offence to others. This is a result worth having lived and borne somewhat for. It is our privilege also to record that he never used the journal as an instrument of private pre ference or public influence ; that he never had the re motest idea of interfering with the scrupulous judgment of its editor or contributors ; that, in taking pleasure in its successes, he gave evident tokens of preferring those which redounded to its credit to those which merely added to his profits. He sometimes, indeed, while he remained in public life shared most worthily in its labours. He contribu tedmost valuable exposures of the infamous conduct, the daring perjuries, of common informers, and such writings mainly assisted in procuring the amendment of the law, by which a magistrate has the option of awarding a shil ling only of the penalty to the party who lays a success ful information. Nor did the "black sheep of the law" escape from his effectual lash. But the main aim of him self and of his co-proprietor was always to sustain those really responsible for the conduct of the paper in the fearless and conscientious discharge of their duties. At the dinner given to the proprietors by the medical pro fession—in recognition of the efforts of the journal to put down the nuisance of advertising quackery, Dr. Birkbeck filling the chair—Mr. Harmer, in returning thanks for the complimentary proceedings of the occa sion, limited his merit and that of his associate to their readiness to encounter all pecuniary risks in holding up to public detection and shame the evils which concern the public. His words are worthy of remembrance : " They had at all times instructed the editor of their journal to avoid private slander, but at the same time boldly and fearlessly to attack all public abuses whenever they were known to him to exist, and he believed the editor had on all occasions fulfilled those instructions to the very letter." We can bear tes timony how cheerfully the consequences of this deter mination have at all times been met. His words were no empty professions. And in the social circle, in which ev cry year every member of the establishment, from the highest to the lowest, was invited to partake of that din ner and holiday of the " office" at which he presided, on a thorough equality with his humblest dependents, it was well to remark the interest he took in the fortunes of all connected with him, the desire that they should thrive in his prosperity. He was one of the few masters worth serving ; for he was a true man who might be trusted to appreciate service. It is the fate of prosperity always to be conservative ; and of wealth always to be cowardly. So long as a news paper has its way to make in the world, nothing is too bold or fearless for its proprietors. They demand spirit, life, " slashing composition," at any cost or any hazard. But whenever the circulation becomes large, and the ad vertisements become numerous, proprietors tremble for their property; become timid in reference to every article and writer; interfere in everything, permit nothing to be inserted of the exact safety or effect of which they are not fully assured. To award him his due share of a praise which is not his alone, it showed at once Mr. Harmer's astuteness, knowledge of mankind, and philosophical cou rage that he saw the prosperity of the paper could best be expected to continue by holding on in the same course in which it first earned its name and influence ; that if men be earnest and true in their thought and utterance, they may perfectly rely on the sympathy of mankind, even to "a setter forth of strange doctrines," if these be sound and real ; and that the composition which will infallibly meet with the surest acceptance from the public is that which proceeds from the man who speaks from the truth and conviction that are in him—not from the text that is set to him by a. proprietor. It was his sterling good sense and high-minded respect for the truthfulness of public instructors, which made the con. tributors to this journal feel that it was not the proprie tors, but the writers, who were responsible for its pro sperity. He addressed with a simple eloquence the friends who assembled to present him with a valuable testimonial of their regard, when he was defeated in his hopes of the Mayoralty, the not unworthy prize of one who had been identified in fortunes and friendships with the City of London. He told them that he was the son of a Spitalfields weaver, left an orphan at 10 years of age. He spoke of his father as a kin d man, though a poor one and he must have been a kind loan, in such circumstances to have left such an impression. The young James Harmer knew little, of course, but he worked. He learned to write a good hand--n clear, manly one it was to the last. At that time, 179:1, there were, fortunately for him, no stamps upon attor rdes' articles, and he was articled to an attorney. And. now comes a bit of ro mance worthy of Dickens. Thte poor Spitalfields lad fell in love, and, though he was timed out of his employer's office for his folly, he conqnexed circumstances, and married the lady he was attaalied to. He had his ar ticles transferred to Messrs. Fletcher and Wright, of Bloomsbury, one of whom, so) n e fifty years afterwards, was obliged unwillingly to ibrego the pleasure and honour of standing by his side,. when his friends met to vindicate his claim to the hon our he had been refused. Much of his great practice as: an attorney was in the Criminal Court. In that he er einced a sagacity and wis dom which, had they been e x erted in another rank, would, beyond all doubt, have raised him to the Bench. For it would, indeed, be in cjiustice to estimate Mr. m. 4 re successful devi ser or Harmer as a lawyer, as a refuter of quibbles, or an ari anger of evidence. He was born for his work, and h. e did it. In the days in which he practised, the law wa. s the wholesale murderer. The entire sympathies of scruiety were, by a most righteous instinct, identified rc ith those who sought to save even criminals from most wickedly disproportionate punishment. When Judge 11 eoth thought it a mercy to hang a man for cutting down a young tree, because he thought society would make t' Ito poor wretch a Pariah— when Fleet-street shopkeepei s insisted upon executions for the security of the goods e) posed at their door—when the Bank made capital puni aliment and its notes one idea—when decent firms, hor ?ever they might incur the abhorrence of their brothers in :trade, prosecuted to death the youths who, as clerks, rob (bed them of a few pounds, there need some ingenuity on the other side which should now and then baffle th to legal Moloch of a victim. And what Mr. Harmer witn( esed as a legal practitioner he made tell upon the public opinion and Parliamentary FEVER IN TILE HOUSE OP CORRECTION.—Typhus fever, of an alarming type and malignant character, has broken out amongst the prisoners confined in the Middlesex House of Correction, Clerkenwell, and several deaths have occurred. It would appear that the outbreak of fever in this densely crowded prison is, in a main degree, attributable to the magistrates committing parties affected with illness, and even with fever, as was instanced in the last fatal case in the prison, when the deceased, a mendi cant, was sentenced by the magistrate, and conveyed, while suffering from fever, in the van with the other pri• soners to the house of correction, where immediately upon his admission, he was sent to the infirmary. Mr. Wakley, the coroner, and the juries that sat upon the bodies of the persons who died of fever, and Dr. Wakefield, the surgeon of the prison, blamed the magistrates for send ing prisoners suffering from disease and fever to a place where, from its crowded state, its inmates were more or less susceptible of an epidemic ; and they also expressed a hope that in future no prisoners suspected of suffering from disease would be sent there before the divisional surgeon certified that it was neither infectious or conta gious. This precaution is essentially necessary, as the prisoners in the house of correction generally average 1,200. Dr. Wakefield and his coadjutor, Dr. Smyles, have constantly complained of wretched vagrants having been sent to the prison, who were more suited for the workhouse infirmary than a gaol. EXTRAORDINARY DEATH.—Mr. W. Baker held an inquest on Saturday, at the Cannon Tavern, Cannon street, St. George's in the East, respecting the death of Elizabeth Amy Kemble, aged 32 years, who, it was stated, was a descendant of the late John Philip Kemble the tragedian, and lived with her sister, a sempstress, at No. 2, Green-bank, Wapping. On Sunday night she went into the shop of Mr. Solomon, in the Back-road, and was taken very ill. After remaining there nearly two hours, the servant asked if a surgeon should be sent for. The deceased said, "Oh no, fetch Joe Bray, for lam dying." The young man Bray, who worked in a stable opposite, was called, and the deceased was taken home in a cab. The deceased had cohabited with Bray, but through his ill usage she had left him for some time. Dr. Henry Letheby made a post morZent examination. On opening the abdomen about half a pail of blood escaped, and upon seeking for the cause he found that the deceased had died from internal hemorrhage. Wit ness found that the deceased was eight weeks advanced in pregnancy, but it was a false conception, which, through the increase in the size of the child, had burst, breaking the blood-vessels and causing her to bleed to death. The jury concurring, returned a verdict of Natu- ral Death. THE NATIONAL LAND COMPANY.—MASTER'S OFFICE, CHANCERY-LANE, SATURDAY.—A fresh and important step in the slow process of winding up this scheme was taken on Saturday, at the meeting before Master Richards, at which Mr. Roxburgh, Mr. Pratt (counsel), the official manager, and other parties, were present. The allottees had elected to prepare their own con veyances of their respective allottments from the official manager and trustees to themselves, at their own ex pense, and the question settled was, the form of such conveyance, subject to the rent-charge. Considerable discussion ensued as to the rights to be conferred on the official manager of distress and re-entry, or in default of payment, and the costs of the deeds. Ultimately the Master approved of a form, and expressed his hope that the three trustees named by Mr. O'Connor, namely, Mr. T. S. Duncombe, M.P., Mr. Searll, and Mr. Ernest Jones, who were formal parties, would concur without delay, and expedite the winding-up. When these con veyances are completed the company and the allottees will have legal titles, and be able to dispose of their respective interests. Already has 10,0001. been bor rowed by the official manager on security of the pro perty unallotted, and the rent charges, and the sale of all the interest, will enable a wind-up to be accom plished by payment of the expenses and a dividend to the shareholders. Complaints prevail of the snail-like progress of this case, whose wind-up has occupied about four years already. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE NEAR BIRMINGHAM. —At mid- night on Saturday a fire was discovered, and a few minutes afterwards it burst forth and spread with extra ordinary rapidity, on the works of Messrs. J. H. Porter and Son, situate beyond Spring-hill. near the Heath, a short distance from Birmingham. The buildings, which were still far from completed, extended over a very large area, and had been recently erected by Messrs. Porter for purposes connected with the galvanised iron manu facture, and especially for the construction of iron buildings for California and Australia. The demand for this novel description of building has within the last few months, become so enormous, that Messrs. Porter have been compelled to hurry on the manufacture before the works were thoroughly completed, so that in addition to the extensive ranges of shedding on the premises there was a very large quantity of timber for future use. Up to a very late hour at ni g ht ever y thing was apparently safe at the works ; they were s o seen within a quarter of an hour of the fire bursting forth with the violence above described, when flames suddenly shot out and spread instantaneously from shed to shed with so much fury, that in a few minutes the whole range of building was wrapped in one huge volume of flame, so great that the valley on one side and table land on the other, for a mile round, was lit up with a terrible grandeur. The effect was increased, too, by the exces sive darkness of the night, and although the rain poured down in torrents, for the first quarter of an hour, the fire increased so prodigiously, that there was little hope of saving any portion of the premises. The population turned out in thousands, and expresse s having been dispatche d to Birmingham, in a very short time the engines from the various fire-offices were on the spot, and in full work ; but in the meantime th e fire had gained g round so rapidly that for some time little progress was made in checking the progress of de struction, the huge sheets of flame, which the piles of b urn ing timber sent forth, being but slightly diminished by the streams of water poured upon them. No precise , information is known as to the cause of this occurrence, but there seems good reason to believe that it was en tirely accidental. I Aberdeen Ambg. Nottng. Bost.' and Eastn.

EXPEDITING THE CONVEYANCE OF THE INDIAN MAIL. —The Valetta, a new paddle-wheel steamer, belonging to the Peninsular and Oriental Company, arrived at Southampton yesterday. She will in a day or two pro ceed on a trial trip to Cherbourg, and then proceed to the Mediterranean, to convey the India mail between Malta and Marseilles. The Valetta has greater steam power, compared with her tonnage, than the Queen's yacht Fairy. In about six weeks a sister ship will join her on the Malta and Marseilles station. It is then expected that Indian news will reach England quicker by way of Marseilles than by way of Trieste. As soon as the Valetta gets to Malta the Euxine or Sultan steamer now conveying the Indian Mail to and from Marseilles, will proceed to Constantinople for cargo for England. KING'S COLLEGE HOSPITAL.—The Rev. Dr. Hooke, the vicar of Leeds, yesterday morning preached a ser mon in the chapel of King's College, in aid of the funds of King's College Hospital, and took for his text the words of the Epistle to the Romans, chap. 7, v. 22 and 23. At the conclusion of his discourse the rev. gentleman made an eloquent appeal to his hearers for their support of an institution, the object of which was to relieve the suffering and afflicted poor, and which had rendered assistance during the past year to 42,000, and since its foundation to 230,000 poor persons. At the offertory the sum of 651. was collected on behalf of the funds of the institution. ST. PAUL'S, COVENT•GARDEN.—Yesterday the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Oxford preached at the parish church of St. Paul, Covent-garden, in aid of the paro chial schools, to a most numerous aid fashionable auditory. The rev. prelate selected for his text the Bth chapter of the Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Romans, and 18th verse :—" For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." After an im pressive and eloquent discourse, a collection was made of 45/. 7s. AN ARCHBISHOPRIC IN AUSTRALIA.—It has been settled by her Majesty's Government that the diocese of Sydney shall be formed into an archbishopric. It is probable that the first archbishop will be the Rev, Thomas Jackson, rector of Stoke Newington. lhr. I Paid.

(From the Morning Post.) It is now manifest that Russia has long contem - plated, and carefully prepared, the attempt which she is urging for the overthrow of the Ottoman Empire. The craft of her diplomacy has been used —unsparing even of her own honour—to sever allies and to blind Europe. The resources of her empire have been matured and concentrated, so that she has treasure and armies readily available. And, whilst preparing materials for action, and subtly rconcealing her designs from the great, she has quietly worked on the bigotry of her people, and incited their religious enthusiasm, by circula ting such fanatical productions as the prophecy of the monk Agath Angelos, professedly written in the year 1275, and predicting most clearly the fall of the Byzantine Empire in 1453, and its resto ration after the lapse of four hundred years, Of this prophecy, thousands of copies have also been printed at Athens, Smyrna, and other places, and distributed, chiefly by Russian agency, in Con stantinople itself, and in the Danubian provinces, as well as iu Thessaly and Albania, and generally throughout the East. The blow is now to be struck. Prince Gort chakoff left St. Petersburgh on the 11th instant to assume the command-in -chief of the army which is about to invade Moldavia. Intelligence of the orders sent to the fleets of England and France to sail for the Dardanelles must, however, have reached the Emp eror b e f ore the 11th • and as we are informed that " his lan guage continued to be full of menaces," and as Prince Gortchakoff has started for the banks of Pruth, to put those menaces into execution, we may look upon the resolution of the Emperor as still unchanged, and on the in vasion of the Principalities as inevitable. The instructions of Prince Gortchakoff are, to await at head-quarters the return of the courier from Constantinople, and, in the event of his brin g ing the Turk's ref usa l o f th e ' u lti matum, of which he was bearer, at once to invade Moldavia, without waiting for further orders. We learn by telegraph, from Constantinople, dated the 10th inst., that the courier in question had arrived on the 9th, within a few hours of the arrival of the messenger charged to announce to the Ambassadors and the Sultan the approach of the combined fleets. Of the rejection of the ultimatum, there was no doubt. The Turks were full of confidence and enthusiasm, and preparations for war were carried on with the greatest vigour. As the ultimatum would be at once rejected, and as Prince Gortchakoff left St. Petersburgh on the 11th, it is probable that he would meet the courier at Odessa somewhere about the 17th ; and consequently there is every reason to believe that whilst we write the Russian forces are effecting the passage of the Pruth. It is of the greatest importance that the conse quences of this act should thoroughly be under stood. Russia—who, we are sorry to say it, has throughout this affair neglected no artifice, and dis dained no intrigue, however base—is again endea vouring to cast dust in the eyes of Europe by pre tending that the occupation of the Danubian Prin cipalities is not war with Turkey, but " an endea vour to obtain from her by force that which she will not yield spontaneously." Now, this is both deceit and robbery of the worst description. Rob bery, in that Russia endeavours to obtain by force that to which she has no claim ; deceit, in that she endeavours to shuffle off the responsibility of a war which, abrogating existing treaties, disentitles Russia from any further advantage in favour of them, and confers upon Turkey the full benefits of the assistance of her allies. " War," says Vatel, "is that state in which we prosecute our rights by force." And, further, the same authority defines offensive war thus :—" We attack a nation with a view either to obtain some thing to which we claim, to punish her for an in jury which she has done us, or to prevent on e which she is preparing to do." Now, we have demonstrated plainly on previous occasions that, according to the treaty of Balta Liman, Russia has no right to occupy the Principalities. She therefore, by crossing the Pruth, commits an act of offensive war, according to the above definition, because she " attacks a nation to obtain something to which she lays claim." But, as we have constantly shown, Russia has no claim, founded upon a shadow of justice, against Turkey ; and thus, indeed, her aggression may escape Vatel's definition of war ; for he classes such deeds as hers under a worse category, saying, " I do not therefore, among the objects of offensive war, set down conquest, or the desire of invading the property of others : Views of that nature, destitute even of any reasonable pretext to coun tenance them, do not constitute the object of regular warfare, but of robbery." And—as robbery— affording, according to the law of nations, ample cases belli; the aggression of Russia on the integrity of Turkey, by the invasion of the Principalities, is regarded by the Governments of England and France. The objects of Russia in trying to avoid procla mation of war are twofold. Firstly, when Turkey is at war, the Dardanelles are open ; therefore, by avoiding the the term " war," Russia hopes to de prive the Porte of the assistance of her allies, who cannot enter the Dardanelles so long as she is at peace. Secondly, war is held to abrogate all treaties ; therefore, by proclamation of war, Russia would destroy existing advantages which she pos sesses by treaty—advantages which will never be renewed so long as England and France have any voice in the matter. It is humiliating to attempt subterfuge, so easily seen through. Such pretences as that put forth by Russia will be of no avail. The moment she crosses the Pruth war or rather " robbery" will be proclaimed, if not by her, then by Turkey ; and our fleet, with that of France, will be at the disposal of our ally to defend Constantinople, or to operate as he may wish in the Black Sea. We repeat again our statement, that England will not declare war with Russia. Even though we burn her fleets at Sebastopol, we have a right to do so in the cause of our ally : the position of England and France, in re lation to Russia, falling under Vatel's definition of "those nations which assist my enemy in defensive war :" of whom he says, " I cannot consider them as his associates. If I am entitled to complain of their furnishing him with succours, this is a new ground of quarrel between me and them. I may expostu late with them, and, on not receiving satisfaction, prosecute my right and make war on them." This Russia may do if she choose. The course of Prussia and Austria, especially that of the latter, is not in this matter so forcible as their true interests should lead them to make it. They certainly diplomatically discountenance the pretensions of Russia, but that is all ; and they waver when any definite course of action is laid before them. Austria, indeed, constantly offers " her good offices" to as constant rejection, but she should understand that in a firm and bold course alone there is safety. To say nothing of the disastrous effect upon her commercial and political influences which would be the result of the triumph of Russia in acquiring European Turkey, Austria should not blind herself to the fact that her very existence is menaced by the consequences which may arise from the present state of affairs ; for it is not war that is merely to be dreaded—it is revo lution. If there be war, the Poles and Hungarians will flock to the standards of Turkey, and will stir up those flames which wait but the opportunity to break forth. If Austria be not with Turkey, she must side with Russia, and insurrections in Hun guary, Poland, and Italy would soon convert the hostilities, originating in an attempt to overthrow Turkey, into a struggle for existence on the part of the despotic powers, attacked with overpowering might by the victims of their oppression.

Three labourers, Birnes, Parsons, and Murray, were engaged on the waste-room side of the wall, and the two first-named were completely buried in the ruins. Murray, who was dressing bricks nearer the end of the wall, had his legs covered by the wreck, but was able to extricate himself, his injuries not being of a fatal character. A man named Ss,vindlehurst, who was in what proved to be a safer position, merely sustained a few contusions and abrasions. Three other men, who were excavating in the passage, only a few feet from the wall, escaped without injury, the brickwork falling in a mass in the opposite direction. Active measures were, of course, proi aptly taken for the extrication of Birnes and Parsons, and in about five minutes they were removed from the debris. Birnes expired immediately, having sustained a fearful fracture of the skull, besides other mutilations ; Parsons, whose limbs were broken, chest crushed, Bc., and presented a shocking spectacle, was conveyed to the hospital, where be still survived when this account was written. The deceased has left a widow and one child. The inquest will be held to-day. THE SANITARY IMPROVEMENT Or WOOLWICH.—MT.
