THE OPENING DAY AT DONCASTER. -r _ . _ Last night the rain descended in drenching showers, and this morning dawned dull and cheerlessly. The skyey influences" were uneasily regarded, but towards moon the dark clouds disappeared, and the expectations 'of unpropitious weather were agreeably disappointed. still the prospect of rain doubtless exercised a dimi 23ielling effect on the attendance ; few ladies were pre 'ent, but the muster of professional visitors and pleasure folk was little below the average. The proceedings co mmenced at tw o o ' c l oc k, b u t th ey were no t con d ucte d with the strictest regard to punctuality. The racing Was suggestive of few comme n t s ; it was i n t eres ti ng o and exc heav iting, and wa s , i n cer t a i n i ns t ances , pro d uct i ve y and important speculation. The Champagne stakes and the Great Yorkshire Handicap were, of course, the principal events decided, and both resulted in the unexpected defeat of the favourites. The with drawal of Ruby materially lessened the interest which W ould otherwise have attached to the Champagne Slakes. Th e h orse i s, I believe, still in the town, and it is difficult to explain satisfactorily the reason why he did Lot start. He is also struck out of the Two-Year-Old Stakes. His owner's motives for sending him to Don caster, and then scratching him for his engagements, are, certainly, liable to suspicion ; his policy, at least, is q u estionable. The money, however, was perhaps on Domino, who ino, who advanced in favour up to the hour o , f , starting, an d w h o, on t h e di spersion of the " R i ng, " had the decided " call" of the field. His party appeared to be confident of success ; his owner personally superin tended the saddling, and did not quit him until his jockey as fairly mounted. Their calculations were provok ingly upset, and Domino was very cleverly defeated by Brother to Mountain Deer, an animal that had been sc arcely mentioned in the betting. The result was hailed With loud and prolonged cheers, which were renewed When the 'Squire was seen attending the winner to the weighing stand. He was warmly congratulated, and between him and his friends much good-humoured badi nage was exchanged. Tadcaster was deserted by his supporters before the race, and his performance totally belied his reputation. . On. Monday I expressed an opifnonthat he would succumb to Domino. The Great Yo r k s hire Handicap was won by unques tionablythe best horse in the race. Hungerford achieved the victory without an apparent effort, and his Performance establishes, beyond dispute, his pretensions to take a high position among the principal " turf cele brities" of the season. Haco was supported in the mar ket with seeming confidence to the last—getting badly eff, however, and being carried by Heapy somewhat out o f his ground ; n he nevertheless managed to reach the leadi ng horses o, ascending the hill, but at the distance he was "pumped out." On being pulled up, however, lie wined scarcely warmed ; he is a fine, good-looking horse, and must not be forgotten. Some surprise was occasioned by the forward position obtained by Ireland's Eye, considering that he had been apparently thoroughly beaten in the Fitzwilliam Handicap. The Sally War foot colt was backed rather heavily at 12 to 1, but, as usual, he figured most ingloriously. Although much Money was invested on the winner in certain quarters, yet the result of the race may be deemed favourable to the "fielders." By a reference to The Sun of Mon day it will be seen that I was not very far out in my calculations ; for two of my selections were actually second and third, and my "cockboat," Grapeshot, finished a good fourth I The other events I ng-s over without comment. I May mention, Lowey , r, as a urious fact, that before the race for the Stand Pla.e Alfred the Great was regaled with a quart of ale and a bottle of sherry, in order to screw his courage to the starting place ! My anticipatory observations on Thursday's iiss races must be brief. Harbinger, Pharold, and A gues are entitled to the precedence over the twenty accep tances" for the Cleveland Handicap. Could I calculate with certainty upon a start, Thel should be inclined to select Wild Huntsman t and Reiver to do battle for me for the Eglinto tn. sn eal aly depend kes.The running of the Reiver will, however, materially on the result of the St. Leger, The Scarborough Stakes I assign to Honeywood. Doncaster, Tuesday A FRESH MAN. GLOUCI'STER MUSICAL FESTIVAL. The festival of the three choirs of Gloucester, Here ford, and Worcester opened yesterday morning under the most favourable auspices. The weather was most delightful. A great many strangers arrived in the course of Monday, "'And the temporary population of the city was further. increased yesterday, fresh a rr i va l s con ti nu i ng Ito pour - .1 throughout the morning. The doors of the cathedral were besieged at an early hour, and, on the oPenir-ig of the service, with which these festivals are alway s initiated, the interior of the venerable pile pre sented a grand and imposing sight, orchestra, floor, gal lery, and aisles being completely filled. At 11 o'clock the conductor, Mr. Arnott, having taken his place the festival opened, as has been usual almost from time immemorial, with Handel's "Esther" overture, which was played by the band with the cus tomary perfection. The pieces and responses were those of Tanis, and had a grand effect, the 300 or 400 voices uniting and resounding with imposing grandeur, from the fretted roof and vaulted aisles of the sacred building. The Te Down was Handel's, that composed for the vic tory of Deitingen. The principal solo parts were taken by Mr. and Mrs. Lockey, and Mr. Weiss. The novelty of the morning was the anthem of Dr. Elvey, which was written for this festival, and was con ducted by the composer himself. It abounds in beautiful Passages, and the choruses are very grand and massiv e, While the prireipal singers, orchestra, and chorus, ap peared to vie with each other in giving effect to it. 'Tie chorus, "Clouds and Darkness," is exceedingly effective; "d the double chorus, "At His sight the mount ins Are shaken," is dramatic in expression, the music being made to convey the meaning and spirit of the words, hich are taken from the 47th Psalm, commencing 'The Lord is King." The chorus , " 0 y e that love the Lord " is very\ like the chorus, " Blessed a re the men w ho , concludi ng chorus is a clever specimen of writing, and displays Dr. Elvey's ability as a composer. The anthem w ill b ear f req uent repetition at festivals of this cha rac t er . The sermon was preached by the ':ev. Dr. Claxson from Chronicles, Blok 1., chap. ver se 8 ; the passage being descriptive of David's praise ef God, adrairabl with instruments and ice, this text was y treated in the serm vo on. aimong the elergy Present, besides the Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol, and very Rev. the Dean, were the Rev.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING' THE WEEK. Yesterday Mr. William Payne held a lenghtened in vestigation, at the request of the board of guardians of the parish of St. George the Martyr, Southwark, at the workhouse, Mint-street, on the body of John Hickie, aged 55, who died of Asiatic cholera. The greatest interest was attached to the proceedings in conseqrence of this being the first case of Asiatic cho lera that has appeared in this district this year, precisely in the same locality v;here the disease made such fright ful ravages on its • ' 1849. The place where app., a lee in the man died is surrounded by knackers'-yards, bone boilers, and catgut-makers, and the common opinion that prevailed was that the deceased had come to his death from the stench emitted from these unwholesome factories. ( From the Registrar-General's Report.) 1,015 deaths have been registered in London during the week ending 10th September. The mortality is below the corrected average of the week ; for within the ten preceding years, when du, population of London was one tenth part less numerous than it is now, the deaths ranged from 840 to 1,040, and in the year 1849, when epidemic cholera had only begun to decline, the burials were 2,865. The deaths by diarrhoea have been 131, less by 21 than were referred to that disease in the previous week, but ni)re by one-third than the corrected average number (99) of preceding years, Only 7 deaths by cholera have happened ; 5 in children under 15 years of age, 2 in adults of 15 and under 60. Six of the seven persons who died were males. The number of deaths by cholera in fouragefourineachyears,Bothother house, deathslabourer'soccurredyoungl2,within wife, Turner's-retreat, r, four south side of the Thames. It is right, under all the circumstances, to reiterate the cautions which were given in August. All persons whether children or adults, w h o suffer from diarrhcea: should apply forthwith for medical advice. And no time should be lost in putting our sanitary d e f ences in a sound state, as next summer their efficacy may again be severely tested. The Coroner, upon the jury being sworn, said that as this was a case of cholera, he had ordered the officer to put the body in such a state that, if any of the jury were at all nervous, it could be viewed without danger. On the return of the jury to the board-room, the fol lowing evidence was taken : Anne Hickie, of No. 4, Mason's -buildings, Friar street, said the deceased was her husband, and his name was John Hickie. He was about fifty-five years of age, and was a hammerman by trade. They had only lived at Mason's-buildings a month last Saturday. He was taken ill about one o'clock last Saturday. He had been at work at Sir John Rennie's, i❑ Holland-street. He was very well when he went out to his work, at about twenty minutes before six in the morning. He came home at about one o'clock, when he complained of violent pains in his bowels. Dr. Evans, of Black friar's-road, was sent for, who ordered him medicine, and also some stuff to rub him. With this stuff she rubbed him over his body. He complained of cramps f-om his feet to his stomach. His bowels were much affected. Mr. Evans attended to him until assistance from the workhouse was obtained in the afternoon. He had no warm bath, but she applied for entations to his stomach. He died on Saturday afternoon. The pains and cramps had left him before his death, except now and then when he moved. The house they lived in was under a bone factory, which covered five houses. There were very bad smells in the house, but she could not tell from whence they came. To a Juror—My husband went out as well and hearty as I ever saw him in my life. He took nothing to dis agree with him. He had coffee and bread and butter for his breakfast. _ The following are the particulars of the seven deaths from cholera registered in the week : In the sub-diC,rict of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, at 6, Blond's-buildings, on the 3d September, the son of a carver and gilder, aged 10 weeks, " cholera infantum (1 week)." At 3, Dolphin-court, Spitalfields, on the 3d September, the son of a weaver, aged one year, 'ldiarrhcea (5 weeks), cholera infantum (1 week)." In the sub-district of St. Mary, St. George-in-the- East, at 15, James-street, on the 6th September, the son of a master shoemaker, aged 8 years, " cholera (15 hours)." In the sub-district of St. Mary Magdalen, Bermond sey, on the 3d September, at 12, Turner's-retreat, the son of a tanner, aged 4 yrs, "Asiatic cholera;" and in the same house, on the 7th of September, the wife of a labourer, aged 25 years, " Asiatic cholera (12 hours)." Mr. R. Hellier, the registrar, adds :—" On the two oases of Asiatic cholera that have been registered this week in my district, the medical man that attended reports as follows The above is the second fatal case of cholera I have had in the same house, which is in a very filthy condition. There is a very offensive smell from the cellar, which I have examined, and found to contain ordure and vegetable matter in a state of decomposition. I may add, that Turner's-retreat is a narrow, close, con fined court, containing 13 houses, and only about 15 feet in width. There is not any back yard to two of the houses, No. 12 being one of them. The pri v i es o f th e houses belonging to Turner's-place are used for these two houses, which is opposite, and from whence it ap pears that an offensive smell arises." In the West sub-district of Greenwich, at Blackheath road, on the Bth September, the son of a bricklayer, aged 4 yrs, " cholera infantum (3 days)." In the Dreadnought Hospital Ship, on the 9th Sep tember, a machinist, aged 31 years, " English cholera (3 days)." The following cases are selected from the registrars' returns : _ _ Mr. Viriii. - 1 - nciean, relieving officer of St. George's parish, said he had visited the house where the man died, which was in a dirty state, and there was a very bad smell from the yard, in which there are 10 houses. There were two closets also in a dirty state, with a surface drain running do wn th e centre o f th e buildings to carry off the water, but offensive matter often passed down it. When he was there he felt a very bad smell, which he had no doubt came from the knackers' yards and bone-boilers in the immediate neighbourhood. In one yard there were from 200 to 300 tons of bones at the present time Winkley's yard is the nearest to where the man died. Wickley is a horse-slaughterer. There are several bone-boilers close together, besides catgut-string makers. The stench is most offensive from them. Mr. John Rush is the proprietor of the premises that go over the houses. He is a bone-button maker. He had been there that day, but did not discover any thing offensive, and he did not think the smell came from his premises. He believed it came from the houses in Green-street. He noticed the dampness on the ceil ing of the house. It arose from the taking the bones out of the water in the copper, and placing them on the floor, and the water then leaked through the ceilings. To a Juror -Winkley's yard was the cleanest of the lot. Trotman had got hundreds of cart-loads of bones in his yard, both boiled and unboiled The closets were merely cesspools, and did not communicate with the sewers. When the closets were full they overflowed into the surface drain in the centre of the buildings. Mr. J. W. Wakem, surgeon to St. George's, South wark, and also to the Queen's Prison, said—He found deceased suffering from Asiatic cholera, with all the peculiar characteristics of that disease, such as purging and severe cramps. The purging subsided between eight and nine in the evening, after which he sank into a state of collapse. He continued in that state until the following day at five o'clock in the evening, when he died. No reaction whatever took place. It was his opinion that nothing was wanting, and everything was done for him that was possible. There had been another case of the same description in the same house that morning. A child of the deceased had been attacked with cholera to which he bad administered. Another child had also been attacked at a house two or three doors from the house of the deceased. At 12, Windmill-row, in the sub-district of Waterloo (Ist part), Lambeth, the 4th September, the son of a carpenter, aged 4 months, " diarrhoea (7 days)." Mr. C. Mears, the registrar, adds, that " since the period of the cholera, when attention was strongly drawn to this locality, Windmill-row, the privies in front of the houses have had pans put to them, but as there is no supply of water above, the effluvia from the open doors is highly offensive, and even since this has been done I have seen the night soil oozing up between the stones. The house where this death took place has four rooms, and the informant told me they contained as follows : —ln one room, a man, wife, and two children ; in the next, three females ; in the third, a man, wife, and child ; and in the fourth room, himself, his wife, and the dead infant." In Charlton, a female, aged 78 years, " melanosis of left kidney (three or four years), calculi in right kidney, hematuria." (Post mort.) At 6, Britannia-street, in the sub-district of Hoxton New Town, Shoreditch, a watch-finisher, aged 63 years, " cancer of face (19 years)." One side of the face, the eyes, and palate of the mouth were destoyed. At 45, Holywell-street, St. Clement Danes, a book seller, aged 64 years, " anthrax (8 weeks)." At 4, Smith's-place, St. George's in-the-East, the son of a labourer, aged 4 years, " inflammation of brain (37 hours). The medical attendant observes that this is the "second death in the family since the 29th of August. The first was scarlatina, and there are two more children in the same house labouring under scarlatina. It is in other houses in the same locality ; and he considers Smith's-place badly drained, and the smell most offen sive from the gully-hole." The Coroner—What have you to say on the state of the premises ? Mr. Wakem said he had visited the house that day, and had put his observations into the shape of a short report, which he begged permission to read. He then read as follows :—" Mason's-buildings consist of ten small houses, two rooms in each, occupied by families consisting of four or five persons in each house. There is no back entrance or yard to either, and but two privies, common to all, neither of which are drained. The contents at the present time are pouring into the adjoining houses. There is but one drain, and that is placed in the centre of the court, for the refuse or slops of the ten houses, the stench from which is most in tolerable and suffocating, and whether that is a proper drain or cesspool I could not correctly ascertain. Ex tending over five houses on one side of this court, and an equal number at the back (named Back-court). is a large wharf or repository for bones, in which the tenants inform me the bones aro boiled, ground, and from which putrid fluids and maggots are con stantly coming through the ceilings." Ho added that the water in which the bones were boiled came through the ceilings with decomposed animal matter, and the smell was so bad in the rooms that he could scarcely remain in them. The smell appeared to come from the ceiling. This dampness exuded through the ceiling and down the walls, where there were dark patches of a foot in extent. Nothing whatever has been done to these houses since the last visitation of the cholera. The smell in the Queen's Prison was so bad that the prisoners were compelled to close their windows from the effects of these yards. The complaints were very frequent from them, and at the present time there was one case of cholera in that prison. To a juror : These apartments are totally unfit for human habitations. They were never without fever, if not attended by cholera. A great number of families had been destroyed in that very place. There was no ventilation, for they could get no free current of air, as there were no windows at the back. Mr. Charles Colwell, chief officer of the Queen's Prison, said he was authorised by Captain Hudson, the govenor, to state that he should be most happy to co-operate with any public body to obtain the removal of this nuisance. Prisoners, on their first entrance, thought the smell arose from want of drainage in the prison, which was well drained ; but they soon found out that it arose from places in the neighbourhood, and not from the prison At 5, Snow's-rents, Westminster, the son of a labourer, aged 1 year, " scarlatina anginosa (15 days), diarrhoea." The registrar, Mr. W. E. Needham, adds : " thi s i s th e fourth death from scarlatina in 12 days among children under seven years of age belonging to two families re siding in this house." Last week the births of 843 boys and 826 girls, in all 1,669 children, were registered in London. In the eight corresponding weeks of the years 1845-52 the average number was 1327. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.967 in. The reading of the barometer increased from 30.10 in. at the beginning of the week, to 30.25 in. by 9h. p.m., on the sth ; decreased to 29.63 in. by the morning of the 10th, and increased to 29.70 in. by the end of the week. The mean temperature of the week was 56.1 deg., which is 2 deg. below the average of the same week in 38 years. The highest temperature of the week was 72.0 deg., and occurred on Tuesday ; the lowest was 45.0 deg., and occurred on the same day. The greatest difference be tween the dew point temperature and the air tempera ture was 14.1 deg. on Tuesday ; the least, 1.0 deg. on Saturday. The general direction of the wind was from the north, and it blew at the rate of 60 miles a day. The electric condition of the atmosphere has been posi tive on every day of the week. The Coroner said, having now gone through the evi dence, he had been looking with great care at the case, to see if there was any point that could be laid hold of which would enable them to say that the man's death had occurred through the criminal act of any person, and if so, to make him responsible for such loss of life. If not, then they must go to the general question of what could be done for the relief of the neighbourhood. If they could make no man responsible for the death, they would then have to consider what powers could be put into action to prevent this state of things for the future. Although he was unwilling to use a light ex pression, it reminded him of the story of the House that Jack Built. The local authorities on the spot, when applied to, said they had no power, as the Board of Health had not entrusted them with it. If they then went to the Board of Health, they replied that they were waiting for the order of the Privy Council ; so that those who complained found that there was so much ma chinery required to be put in motion before any good could be done, that there was no telling when it would begin or where it would stop. The Buildings Act provided a remedy for the removal of trades that were nuisances from towns to some distant part where they would not be a nuisance. That act had now been passed for about nine years ; and amongst other trades it provided that no bone boiling should go on in towns after a period of 30 years ; so that they had still 21 years to wait before they could expect any benefit from it. Many persons, therefore, would be dead before they could hope for anything from that. There was a second course, where, on the complaint of two-thirds of the parishioners, they could buy the . removal o f a nu i sance, the amount to be settled by a jury —a course that could be more easily got at. Whether, however, the inhabi tants would like to be taxed for such removal, it would be for themselves to determine. He thought nothing could be done until a stringent lawwas passed t o reme d y this state of things. If the . jury could suggest any remedy, be believed the public would be delighted, as a great number of cases had occurred in the North of Eng land, and he feared that they would soon have more of it in the metropolis. After a short discuss:oa the jury returned the follow ing special verdict :—" That the d eceased died from Asiatic cholera, induc i from the unwholesome trades carried on in the neighbourhood ; that it is the opinion of the jury that the board of guardians ought to be in vested with the authority they formerly held under the Board of Health in such matters, and that that power should be continuous. A guardian said that on the previous even i ng a special meeting of the board of guardians had been held, when it was determined to use all the means in their power to obtain a remedy for these evils. The following resolution on the motion of Mr. George W. Cross, was then proposed, and was unanimously adopted :—" That the relieving officers shall get all the information they can by house-to-house visitation, that the board may make a strong appeal to the Board of Health for powers to suppress these nuisances." The inquisition was then signed, and the proceedings terminated. ADDITIONAL STATUES IN THE NEW HOUSES OF PAR LIAMENT.-For some days back workmen have been engaged in placing several statues, representing some of the Kings and Queen of England, oh pedestals, in the recesses of the Central Hall of the new Palace of West minster. The statues are of stone, and have been executed by Mr. Thomas, of Regent's-park, the well-known sculp , or, whose re-decoration of St. George's Chapel, Wind sor, received the approbation of her Majesty and Prince Albert. The design and workmanship do great credit to the artist. The Sovereigns represented are Henry the Second ; Edward the First, and his Queen Eleanor ; Eleanor, Queen of Henry the Third ; Isabella, Queen of Edward the Second ; Edward the Third, and hie Queen, Phillipa ; Richard the Second ; and Henry the Fourth. Several other statues of regal personages are nearly com pleted, and will shortly be placed in the recesses pre. pared for them. LINES LEASED AT FIXED RENTALS, 'Paid.' Leasing Compans.

They are placed immediately over the number plate on the backs-of- Clarences and Broughams, and bear an epitome of the act of Parliament for the regula tion of cabs, as far as regards hiring, the fares by dis tance and time, and the amount that may be legally charged for luggage, so that the drivers cannot plead ignorance, and persons discharging a cab can see at a glance whether an exorbitant demand has been made. NEW ACT TO REGULATE PUBLIC-HOUSES IN SCOTLAND. —The new act for the better regulation of public-houses in Scotland, is now in force. It was passed on the 15th ult., reciting that great evils have been found to arise from the granting of certificates for spirits, wine, and ex ciseable liquors, to be drunk or consumed on the pre mises, to dealers in provisions and other commodities, the act proceeds, as a remedy for such evils, to make regulations for public-houses in Scotland. No certifi cate is to be granted unless on the express condition that no groceries are to be soldon the premises. Grocers may obtain certificates, but not for the sale of liquors to be consumed on the premises. The act repeals certain provisions in the act 6 Geo. IV., c. 81, for granting licenses in Scotland. No certificate is to be granted until the premises have been inspected and rep orted suitable for the business. After Whit-Sunday nex t cer tificates are not to be granted to blacks m ith s, tax col lectors and others. New duties for licenses are set forth in the act. By the 14th section police officers and con stables are empowered to enter public-houses, and keepers on being fined for disobedience of the law, may be ',committed for non-payment. There are several forms annexed to the act to regulate public-houses, and to remedy the evils which have arisen in regard to pub- Ho N -h E o l u v se A s f ur or SONcotclaonsid,ON LODG ING - ROUSES.—The new .. 1 act on common lodging-houses will shortly take effect.

(From the Times.) The electric telegraph has brought us by way of Berlin the news for which all Europe was impa tiently waiting. The Emperor of Russia has re jected the Turkish modifications of the Note which he had accepted at the suggestion of the Four Powers. An answer in this sense had been dis patched from St. Petersburg to Vienna on the 7th inst., but we are told nothing of that answer, whether the rejection was " pure and simple," or whether reasons for the rejection were stated which would necessarily lead to further negotiation. The Emperor himself was to proceed at once to War saw-, where we shall probably very soon hear of his arrival ; and on the 23d of this month he is to meet the Emperor of Austria at Ohnutz. Considerable importance is attached by the statesmen of Russia and of Germany to this Im perial progress, and the Emperor Nicholas has even postponed his intended visit to Odessa and Sebas topol, the scene of his warlike preparations, in order to approach nearer to the Austrian dominions, the scene of the diplomatic conferences which have up to this moment held in check the schemes of his am bition. It is easyto discover the causes of this move, and it may turn out to be an important incident in the course of events. The resistance of the Turkish Ministers to Prince Menschikoff's Note and to the last proposition of the Conference of Vienna was probably less surprising to the Emperor Nicholas than the firm and independent language he has heard in the last few months from the Cabinet of Vienna. Prince Felix Schwarzenberg, on whoa the recollection of past obligations to Russia sat like a painful and uneasy burden, was often heard to exclaim, " I will one day astonish the world by my huge ingratitude_;" and, had he lived to carry on the aff a i rs of the empi re in the proud and resolute spirit he manifested during his brief ad ministration, he would soon have shaken off all subserviency to Russia, and taken the lead in the policy of Central Europe. His successors are men of inferior energy, but they have shown through out this crisis of the Eastern question that they are resolved and p repared to support the inde pendent policy of their country without any com promise to foreign influences, and they have accordingly incurred an amount of displeasure from the Emperor Nicholas which is, after all, one of the best co mp li ments a Minister can earn from a foreign Sovereign. The barrier which has most powerfully contributed up to this time to arrest the policy of Russia has been the close union of the four other great powers. The Emperor of Russia has so entirely failed in deluding Austria and Prussia as to the nature of his operations, or in winning their assent to his aggressions, that one of the very last communica tions made to him by M. de Buol, the Austrian minister, was the request that he would name a day for the evacuation of the principalities ; and, although it has sometimes been said that the price of the Russian intervention in Hungary in 1849 was a secret treaty which made Austria dependent on the will of her powerful neighbour, nothing in the recent conduct or relations of the two powers seems to confirm that assertion, and we hope that Austria will still have the spirit to show that it is wholly unfounded. Under these circumstances, the Emperor Nicho las rests the influence he hopes to exercise over the policy of the Austrian Cabinet on one point— namely, his personal ascendancy over the young Emperor Francis Joseph ; and it is evident that the approaching visit to Olmutz is intended to detach the head of the Austrian monarchy from the tradi tional policy of his empire, and from the counsels of his western allies. These imperial interviews have constantly been a favourite diplomatic resource of successive Russian sovereignsfrom Tilsit downwards, and the Emperor Nicholas is perfectly qualified to play his part in them with consummate ability. No man ever knew better how to give to an unscrupu lous policy an air of chivalrous disinterestedness, or to justify actions that admit of no earthly excuse by an appeal to the transcendental rights of irrespon sible power. Such language and such artifices come with additional weight when they are employed by a Sovereign who has occupied one of the loftiest thrones of Europe for more than a quarter of a century, and are addressed to a Prince who is still on the threshold of his life and his reign. The in terview, therefore, which the Emperor of Austria will shortly be called upon to hold is one of no commom moment to himself and to his peo ple. He will find himself face to face with the traditional policy of Russia, which has been dissembled or suspended for the last few years from other causes. Perhaps the gravity of this conjuncture in the affairs of Europe will be increased by the ardour for war which has been manifested by a party in the Turkish Councils and the Turkish army ; and the necessity of taking part decidedly with one side or the other in this impending conflict will be urged upon the youthful Sovereign. Territorial advantages have ere this been held out by Russia to foreign States on similar occasions, and nothing will be omitted that may stimulate cupidity or ambition. The Emperor of Austria enters upon this passage of his life almost untried. But he has firmness, capacity, and a life before him ; and the result of this conference may to a great extent decide his fate for independence or for dishonour. The geographical position of Austria gives her an influence and an interest which no other Power can possess in the regions of the Lower Danube and the provinces south of that stream. As long as she remains determin e d t o prevent t h e i nroads of northern armies beyond that barrier the Turkish Empire cannot be overrun, for she takes in flank the whole power of the invader. But if Austria, faithless to her traditional policy and her per manent interests, ever allows herself to participate in projects hostile to the independence of those countries, she removes th e b arr i er o f t h e East, and no direct interference of other States could rescue those countries from invasion by the two greatest military monarchies of the continent. She might gain Bosnia and the Herzegowiva—a slender compensation for the extension Russia would acquire ; but by the same rule her posses sions in Italy would be exposed to the utmost danger, and the peace of Europe would be at an end. The decision of Austria may ward. off the impending catastrophe, and accelerate the restora tion of peace, it it be disturbed, provided she re mains firm to the principles of the other Powers ; but, if any cause whatever should induce her to swerve from the course she has hitherto followed, the joint resolutions of Europe would have lost their authority, and the questions which have hitherto occupied us would assume a far wider importance. We trust, therefore, that with this great responsi bility before him, the Emperor Francis Joseph will prove to Europe that, whatever his personal relations with the Emperor Nicholas may be, the chief Sovereign of Germany is the head of a race and of a nation whose independence is the first law of his political existence. Germany is fond of as serting her unity and her strength—now is the time to prove them. The rule of duty for anEm peror of Austria is not to be gathered from the dread of France or from the favours of Russia, or from the example of England, but from the inte rests of that nation through which the Danube flows. That nation would have to bear all the burdens and horrors of war in a hundred shapes. That nation has power enough to throw a decided weight into the scale of peace ; and the most popu lar and powerful Sovereign of our time will be the Prince who shall convince the people of Germany that he is proof against the temptations and the perils of a Russian alliance. ( Front the Morning Chronicle.) The Eastern difficulty has assumed a fresh aspect. The Emperor of R uss i a absolute ly refuses s i to accept the Turkish modifi ca ti ons of the Vienna Note. This result had, however, been anticipated; and the meaning of the refusal o cannot be ascer tained until the accompanying o t mmunications to the Great Powers are known. I is possible that the Imperial rejection of the demands of the Porte will furnish occasionfy or assurances on which the European Cabinets may Turkey may ac cep t as found a guarantee whi c h satisfactory. No judgment ought to be formed on questions so delicate, until all the circumstances are fully before the world. The facts already ascertained are, however, sufficiently grave. The Court of o S sm t o . e Peters burg rej ec t s d emands which, without equi valent, th e O ttoman Government is, by its own act, precluded from waiving. The strong lan guage used by Redschid Pacha, in speaking of the dignity of the Sultan, may probably have been necessary to calm the irritation of his countrymen; but it renders a simple retractation impossible. Ingenious theorists in diplomacy have, from the first, been too ready to assume the unlimited plia bility of the weaker State; but the last intelligence from Constantinople shows that the Ottoman Mi nistry have at all events no immediate intention of submitting to the terms which they have already rejected. By this time, an address to the nation has been issued, which will undoubtedly have laid stress on the patriotism of the Sultan in demanding a voice in the adjustment of the terms on which the security of his power depends. It is not un likely that the importance of the modifications has been exaggerated rather than explained away ; and language which might have been softened down by diplomacy has probably been adopted with sll the earnestness of national conviction. Thus, then, Runts and Turkey stand once more Ice to fo e, -Re tett for aggrestion stzL •- - - maining the same, whilst the actual aggression is still in full force. On the one side, there is an un doubted cause of war —on the other, a condition of things which has already been made an excuse for invasion. Whichever party desires war has only to fire the first shot ; for the relations of the two • Powers are as hostile now as they were in July last, when Lord Clarendon declared that the Sultan had a right to retaliate the hostilities which Count Nesselrode had vainly attempted to justify. A state of circumstances so threatening may well cause the deepest anxiety ; and at the same time it requires the utmost care that no opportunity be lost for maintaining peace, if it still be pos sible. One change alone has taken place in the telative positions of the litigant Governments. Turkey has been diligently arming, while the Rus sian legions have already suffered severely from disease ; and the partisans of the invader are al ready beginning to express alarm lest Omer Pacha's army should cross the Danube, and dispute the possession of the Principalities. Should no pre mature collision take place, the increased strength of the Porte will not be unfavourable to a pacific solution. If the Emperor wishes his troops to occupy healthier winter quarters, lie has, perhaps, already discovered that they must return to their cantonments on the left bank of the Pruth. The cholera and the marsh fever are enemies from whom it is no disgrace to retreat ; and it is scarcely pro bable that Russia will undertake a winter campaign beyond the Danube, in the face of superior num bers, backed by three or four strong fortresses. The diplomatic position is, as we have already said, the same as was occupied by each party three months ago —no better, but int, therefore, neces sarily worse. The circumstances which led, in. June, to long negotiations, need not occasion im mediate war in September. Three months ago, a demand had been made by Russia, which Turkey refused to admit. A second project of compromise, framed by the mediating Powers, was approved by Russia, but rejected by the Porte, except un der certain conditions, which are now declared by the Emperor inadmissible. The consequence is, that both parties are relegated to their original rights and pretensions. The mediating Powers successively recommended the Vienna Note, and. the Turkish qualifications of that document. Al though their attempt to terminate the dispute has for the present been defeated, their right and duty of maintaining peace, so far as it may be com patible with the vindication of international law, remain unaltered. There can be little doubt that their efforts will be suecessful if both the principals in the quarrel are sincerely desirous of attaining the same object. The Russian Court has not bound itself to reject all future proposals, as well as that which emanated from Constantinople ; and the resources of diplomacy are still equal to the task of devising new formulas, which may satisfy the real or affected self-love of the aggressor, with out compromising too deeply the independence of the lt in is te n n o d t ed surp vic ri ti s m in . g that all these national quib bles and hair-splittings should excite an honest indignation in those who think that peace and war actually turn on a phrase. But the verbal issue is, after all, only the conventional form in which the more serious questions in dispute are tried. If Russia prefers war to the adoption of any reasonable suggestions, it is evident that no diplomatic ingenuity could have deterred her from. the attainment of her object. On the other hand, it must be remembered that the reasons which ori ginally led the Great Powers to interfere still re tain their original force. The security of the Porte depends on the interest of Europe in preventing an ambitious and military ruler from occupying Constantinople and blockading the Eastern half of the Continent.. The Western Powers are also en titled to guard against a precedent which would at any moment justify aggression on a weaker State ; and Austria has the double object of keeping the Danube open,and of discountenancing a war which might be dangerous to her own dominions. The Ottoman Government is fully aware of its hold on the sympathies of every nation which watches Russia with fear or jealousy. France and England, at least, will not consent to her making conquests at the expense of Turkey ; and an offensive war could be undertaken for no other purpose. The Ministers will no doubt give their serious consideration to the present not unprecedented condition of affairs ; but it may be questioned whether the result of their deliberations can be immediately known. The publication of Lord Clarendon's dispatch ha shown that the honour of the country is resolutely maintained by statesmen who are nevertheless zealous for the preservation of peace. The national feeling on this subject, coinciding with the national interest would forbid the abandonment of Turkey, even if the Cabinet were disposed to view with com placency the aggrandisement of Russia ; but as regards the best means of accomplishing the common purpose, the responsible managers of the negotiation must be allowed a large dis cretion. So long as the desired object can be furthered by diplomacy, it would be wrong to precipitate an appeal to force ; and it is far front improbable that Russia, in rejecting the ar rangement last suggested, may have designedly left an opening for some nut dissimilar proposal. France and England are pledged not to permit a permanent occupation of Moldavia and Wal lachia ; and since the attention of the world has been drawn to recent transactions, there is little, hope, for the present, of obtaining any formal concession of the coveted Protectorate. War may be determined upon under the influence of pride, passion, or blind ambition ; but statesmen have no means of controlling motives so abnormal, and they must confine their attention to the rights and in terests of the disputants whom they hope to recon cile. At this moment, both Turkey and Russia, are dissatisfied with the conduct of the mediating Powers ; yet the Porte may perceive that the gua rantee which has been refused in words is really contained in the general policy of the Allies, and even the Emperor may not be unwilling to deal with an independent authority which is not di rectly and professedly hostile. If it is true that preparations for war secure the continuance of peace, it may also be said that the use of every effort to maintain peace ought to precede any act which might lead to hostilities. REPRESENTATION OF GRAVESEND.—A meeting of the inhabitants of this town was held on Monday evening to take into consideration the expediency of adopting steps for its enfranchisement. Mr. John Saddington, the mayor, presided. After some discussion a memo rial was agreed to, to the Earl of Aberdeen and Lord John Russell as ministers of the Crown, setting forth the claims of Gravesend to be enfranchised, and which especially dwelt upon the fact that it contained, by the census of 1851, 16,763 inhabitants, which had since con siderably increased ; that there were in it 2,663 houses rated at and above 101. to the poor ; and that the elec tive franchise for the county was not enjoyed by more than 300 of the inhabitants. It was also resolved to petition Parliament in the next session to the same effect. 3,200 SCREW HORSE -POWER FOR THE ROYAL NAVY. —Messrs.

Renier had decided upon walking on the Chelsea side, and he wished that portion of the stream to be free from obstructions. This announce ment naturally enough drew together a large concourse of people.
