Already a Dispatch from Count NESSELRODE (a copy of which W ill be found in yesterday's impression) has been re ceived, which fully justifies the opinions we have long entertained of the arrogant consistency of the CZAR, and of his determination not to relinquish, save on coercion, a single particle of the vantage ground he has achieved, until he has humiliated the pride, and destroyed the power, of his intended victim. Without the slightest pre text for aggression that could, for a mo ment, deceive any disinterested person of ordinary intelligence, or, indeed, any but the wilfully blind, he invaded the territories of an independent Power, assuming full authority and forbidding the Hospodars to pay the tribute to, or satisfy the just demands of, their lawful SOVE REIGN. He continued in occupation, strength ening his position daily, while, by false and un founded statements of his moderation, he in duced the representatives of the Western Nations to abstain from the decided and energetic course of action that would have brought the matter to aeltsunnnary conclusion, and awakened the AUTO AT () a very unpleasant sense of his true situa ticm- Much valuable time was wasted in diplo matic humbug while the a ggressor was achieving his unjustifiable objects by the delay, as completely as by the most decisive victories.. His Fabian p o li c y which was connived at—if not directly sanctioned by France and England—destroyed the financial resources, while it excited an insurrectionary spirit amongst the Turkish popul a ti on very in jurious to the stability of the Ottoman empire__ while we stood with folded arms *counselling sub mission to the injured, and calculating the amount of compensation 0) that should be gi ven to the insolent invader to induce him to retrace his foot steps,--could it for a momen t have been s upposed that a warlike people, peculiarly jealous of th e i r hc,nour, and whose religious feelings were engaged in the affair, would have awaited patiently the result of these fine-drawn and ion o 0.-protracted ne 0-otiationsk—that they would remain quiescent under the intolerable injuries they were daily sustaining, with a hostile army in possession of some of their fairest provinces? NICHOLAS played a deep and well considered game ; but the Coalition, under the guidance of the " excellent AREEDEEN," so speedily threw up their cards, that there was no pleasure or credit to be gained by defeating them. If a Russian had been the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (we cannot now call it Great Britain), he could not have more effici ently Promoted the views of his master than did the present Premier, and if the Turkish army has not already cut the Gordian knot, and insisted on lxing led against the enem 'unjustifiabl e I nv y, in ord er t o expe l th e aders from their country, it is not to the conduct of the English or French Go : *ernments that their wa expee te d quiescence can be Mcribed. "Under any circumstances that could have cc. TILE curred, Russia must have been a considerable r gainer by procrastination. If the SULTAN dis regarded the insidious advice of his pretended friends, and plunged into hostilities without their assent or sanction, there would have been a pretext for bespeaking their cc operation—or, at all events, of obtaining their neutrality, when he could deal with the PORTE single-handed—a matter which might not, however, be so very easy as the AUTOCRAT sup poses. If, on the other hand, ABD-UL-MEDJID, under the directions of the French and English Ambassadors, remained quiescent, and his subjects could be exasperated to such an extent as to take measures for the removal of the Sluggard from the throne, the French and English fleets might be called in to protect the SULTAN ; and uncle' the name of protection, to crush the power of the empire. In fact, under the pretext of putting down the insurrection, to repeat the grave mis take of Navarino, and save the armies of NICHOLAS the formidable resistance they might otherwise have to encounter—or if neither of these re sults followed—if the SULTAN obeyed the precepts of the Diplomatists, and the troops remained in active, then the season for active operations in the Black Sea or the Baltic having gone by, NICHOLAS might despise the threats of the Mari time Powers, and carry out his objects without let or hindrance ; or, at all events, remain in occupation, consuming the resources of Turkey, who, like a person burning a candle at both ends, would have to support at. the same' time its own and its adversary's troops. The Dispatch of Count NESSELRODE to which we have alluded is but another move in the too palpable game. It professes to contain the reasons for rejecting the trifling modifications claimed by Turkey and sanctioned by the Conference in the original Note—unfairly transmitted to St. Pe tersburgh (although not chiefly delivered) before the views of the party officially in terested with respect thereto was ascertained —when the other European Powers so completely and unwarrantably ignored the exist ence of the PORTE. On such a matter we cannot feel surprised that Russia should take the hint, and follow in the same direction. Russia has done so accordingly, and assumed a fine appearance of virtuous indignation (unparalleled since the pro test of the wolf against the insolent audacity of the lamb) at the notion of the Porte pretending to have any voice in the matter, or daring to suggest any alteration, however trivial or unimportant ; for, as the veteran diplo matist remarks, in a fine spirit of special plead ing—" Either the alterations which the Porte requires are important, in which case it is very simple that we refuse to accede to them, or they are unimportant, and then the question arises, Why should the Porte unnecessarily make its ac ceptance dependent on them?" The whole Dispatch is filled with similar falla cies, and it is plain that the Russian must have formed a very contemptible estimate of the French and English diplomatists, if he thinks that they can he gulled by such specious sophistries. It is more probable that he supposes their previous ac quiescence may be ascribed to cowardice, and that it is scarcely necessary to veil his designs under the most flimsy covering. He may, however, be mistaken ; a more becoming and honourable course may be entered on even at the eleventh hour. If Lord JOHN RUSSELL be mindful of his own words spoken even within the present week—if he show that he indeed believes that " peace without honour is no longer peace—that it becomes but a truce, a precarious truce, to be denounced byothers when when they think fit"—England may no longer have to lament its departed honour, its de plorable degradation, and Russia may at length bitterly expiate its insolent and unwarrantable assumption. It seldom happens nowadays that " Lftnguid Johnoy glows to glorious John." Nevertheless it so happened on Monday, the 19th hist., at Greenock, when the Noble Lord the Member for the City of London responded to the complimentary address of the local Provost, Council, and Magistrates. Wonderful to relate, Lord JOHN RUSSELL then, most unexpectedly, illustrated the accuracy of Sir BULWER LYTTON'S epigrammatic description. Then—when least an ticipated—while the orator was indulging his hearers, it seemed, with nothing better than political platitudes relieved by familiar turns of speech and hackneyed quotations—suddenly and unexpectedly " the steam was on, And languid Johnny glowed to glorious John !" It was a transformation reminding us of the time when CHARLES GREY was considered the pattern of Reformers, when JOHN RUSSELL was regarded as the preux chevalier among the more liberal-minded patricians, when HENRY BROUGHAM was making his triumphal progress through England, uniting in his own person the contagious enthusiasm of the demagogue with the judicial dignity of the Lord High Chancellor. It was a change doubly welcome to those who cherish that memorable epoch in their remembrance, because of its being a change as total and as abrupt as, in many re spects, it must still be allowed to have been inex plicable. It occurred between an allusion to the oft-repeated line of the poet descriptive of a traveller wandering in a mountainous district, where " Hills peer o'er hills, and Alps on Alps arise :" and a reference to a yet more oft-repeated toast at our political banquets—" The cause of Civil and Religious Liberty all over the World !" Could it possibly be one of the last flashes of the lamp in the socket ? Let us hope it was a luminous out burst of that "wonted fire" not to pass away with such lamentable evanescence. Let us hope this —even in spite of the Noble Lord's declaration at the outset of his speech on Monday last to the nen of Greenock, when he observed, with regard to the future, "I may take but for a short time any further part in the deliberations of Parlia ment." At any rate, if such be really Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S anticipation, he is determined apparently to disappear from the arena of the Commons with something of the nobler glory won by him in his e trlier struggles as a political gladiator. He is resolved, it would appear, to make us forget, if possible, his shortcomings during some time past by the utterance of language worthier of his more youthful reputation. It was obvious, of course, that the remarks here alluded to as having been made on M on d ay a t G reenoc k b y Lord JOHN Rus s t-1z had especial reference to the conduct to be P ur sued by England in the now deplorable com plication of the Eastern difficulty. Hence the import s , Thenee of th e Noble Lord's observations. The delivered up on thi s su bj ec t, a t thi s juncture, by the Leader of the British House of Commons, ought t o be Sown like to be scattered thus over 4he lengthgood a seed db breadth e r a o d a tdb cast over th e *United Kingdom. They have only of the land" to yield an abundant harvest of patriotic sentiments. At an emergencythey might even, we believe, realise the classic dream dragon's teeth sprouting up into a host of the armed cap-ti-pie. • For they are word s in every respect worthy of an English Statesman. They are words such as might have been uttered by Lord JonN RUSSELL of old, much more appropriately words sounding strangely enough from his lips nowadays. Let us examine them mor e minutely—these noble words—worthy as w e rd OHN R have declared them to be of L o ury J gone by, USSELL and as he was a quarter of a ce nt therefore eminently worthy of the tongue of a true-born and brave-hearted English Statesman. Having spoken at some length of v arious matters of importance affecting the labours of internal legislation, the Noble Lord thus addresse d himself to the Burghers of Greenock—." It is likewise tO be considers d," he said, " and I trust none of us forget it (let us hope so despite the Earl of ABER DEEN!), tha4t this country holds an important po sition among the nations of the world—(cheers)-- that not once, but many times, she has stood for ward to resist oppression, to maintain the inde pendence of weaker nations, to preserve to the general family of nations that freedom, that power of governing themselves of which others have sought to deprive them. (Cheers.)" An in spiriting preamble, which it will be perceived led to bolder speaking and louder plaudits. " I trust that character," continued the Noble Lord, " will not be forgotten, will not be abandoned by a people which is now stronger in means, which is more populous and wealthy than it ever has been at any former period. (Loud cheers.) This, then, you will agree with me, is not the period to abandon any of those duties towards the world, towards the whole of mankind, which Great Britain has hitherto performed. (Increased cheer ing.) Let us perform them, if possible, by our moral influence—let us perform them, if possible, while we maintain the inestimable blessings of peace. But, while we endeavour to maintain peace, I certainly should be the last to forget that if peace cannot be maintained with honour, it is no longer peace (loud and enthusiastic cheers, thrice repeated)—it becomes then, as I have said, no longer peace, but a truce —a precarious truce—to be denounced by others whenever they may think fit—whenever they may think that an opportunity has occurred to enforce by arms their unjust demands either upon us or upon our allies. (Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) T trust that so long as I can bear any part in the public councils of this kingdom, such will be my sentiments and such my conduct. (Great cheering.) Happy I am to find that you have done me the honour to signify your agreement with me in these sentiments." At which the cheering of the audi tors, according to the report, is described as having been enthusiastic. And no marvel, we take it, for the language thus employed by Lord JOHN RUSSELL was such as could not but awaken a sympathetic vibration in the heartstrings of a throng of Eng lishmen. Therefore have we here quoted these words in extenso, and without a wish for their abbreviation. Henceforth let them be borne par ticularly in the popular remembrance. Let them not be forgotten in connection with all the anoma lies every day rendered apparent in the proceed ings of the Coalition Government. Let them not be overlooked throughout the changing phases of our confused and vacillating negotiations. They come to the public hearing, it must be admitted, with rather startling effect at the moment when the Prime Minister of England is confidentially closetted by the hour with the Russian Ambassa dor. They scarcely tally with the obsequiousness of the Vienna Note to the arrogant ambition of the CZAR. They hardly agree in tone with the latest recommendations forwarded on the part of the Four Powers to Constantinople. Nevertheless they are bold, and therefore they are welcome— doubly welcome, after so much official timidity and ministerial mystification. Couple with the language employed by the Leader of the British House of Commons at Gree nock the intelligence bruited about in reference to the Austrian Government ! Couple the words of Lord JOHN RUSSELL with the news from Vienna, and con jecture whether or not a crisis has really arrived in the progress of negotiation between the opposing powers at St. Petersburg and Constantinople ! The meeting arranged for the 23d inst., at 01- aiiitz, between the Emperor NICHOLAS and the Emperor FRANCIS JOSEPH, might have prepared the public for the announcement now made, that Austria has summarily withdrawn from the Euro pean Conference. The duplicity of the Cabinet of the CZAR might have satisfied us that before long the world would be startled by a kindred duplicity on the part of the Viennese Govern ment. The truth has now transpired. Prussia all along has taken a merely nominal share in these negotiations. England and France may consider themselves, therefore, as abandoned by the rest of the so-called allies of Turkey : and upon those two great Powers, consequently, de volves the responsibility of bringing matters, one way or another, to a conclusion. Everything indicates, in fact, that the retrograde policy of the " dear and excellent," the under-secretary of M. G t7IZOT, the sympathiser with the Orleanists, tad the truckler to his Imperial Majesty the Russian AUTOCRAT can no longer be hoped to prove, as might once in an evil hour have been anticipated, triumphant. Turkey is resolved upon :maintaining at all hazard the inalienable rights of her independence. The SULTAN has avowed his determination not to succumb before the threats of his haughty neighbour any more than to fall a victim to the treachery of the more faith less among his reputed defenders. His Hight] ess REDSCHID PACHA still holds with vigour the reigns of the Foreign Department at Constantinople. Lord PALMERSTON still exercises an appreciable iufiuence over the minds of his Ministerial col leagues, as well as, generally speaking, over the hearts of his fellow countrymen. M. DROUYN DE HUYS is still the energetic representative of the vigorous foreign policy of the Tuileries. NA POLEON 111., with all his anxiety to fulfil the pre dictions made by him upon a notable occasion at Bordeaux, and to prove that, in truth, "l' Empire c'est la pain," is not exactly the man to dice the honour of France away for the spurious boon of a merely temporary and make-shift pacification. Precisely at this juncture, the Leader of the British House of Commons rouses himself from his long torpor, and proclaims to the country from Greenock, that " this is not the period to aban don any of those duties towards the world, towards the whole of mankind, which Great Britain has hitherto performed ;"—having previously defined as among those duties the maintenance of the in dependence of weaker nations, and the resistance on all sides of oppression. Are not these circum stances, let us ask ourselves, then, significant ? If they are not prophetic of the downfall of the despicable policy of the Aberdeenites, there has been added to the guilt of turpitude the folly of vain-glorious boasting—to the infamy of a wretched weakness the ignominy of a miserable braggadocio. While the Directors of the Bank of England are exerting themselves to the utmost of their power to make money dear and scarce—while there is a species of panic on the Stock Exchange —while the organ of the moneyocracy is declaring that " the natural augmentation of prices which occurs has the salutary effect of compelling men to content themselves with less food, because they can afford to buy less"—while, in fact, the em ployers of labour throughout the entire country are placed in a position of the greatest difficulty, the labourers themselves are putting forward demands which cannot be conceded without posi tive ruin to their employers, who are thus placed between two fires, and even more cer tainly and more speedily to themselves and families. It is indeed difficult to conceive such suicidal folly on the part of those who have been for some time past in the enjoyment of unwonted comforts, who have had money in their pockets and an abundance of wholesome food upon their tables, who have been certain of " a fair day's wages for a fair day's labour," when every man able and willing to work could obtain full occupation at remunerative rates. This happy state of affairs was, however, too good to last ; and while it is asserted by capitalists and Bank Directors, on the one side, the misguided indi viduals, whose condition has been so greatly ameliorated, and who are really the most deeply interested in supporting their employers against the difficulties to which they are exposed by the withdrawal of the facilities for obtaining pecuni ary accommodation, are playing the game of their Opponents, and vigorously assailing the victims, On the other. It is melancholy to think that intelligent and well-di spose d men s h ou ld suffer them selves to be made the dupes of worthless scoun drels, who endeavour to sow dissension be tween masters an d wor k men i n or d er that they th emselves may be maintained in idle ness during th e struggles which they occasion— the contests W hi c h they provoke. It almost seine to be the lot of our artisans and operatives, that whenever they have continued for a few months in the enjoyment of comparative comforts, they should become the prey of these designing wretches, who, under one specious pretest or an other, make away with the money which, properly applied, might become the foundation of future independence, and who, while professing to be their disinterested (0 friends, speedily prove them selves, beyond the possibility of doubt, to be their most determined enemies. " Save me from my friends" is a wise aspiration, for a mistaken friend who, while actuated by the best motives, gives injudicious advice, is more dangerous than an open foe ; but a false and deceitful villain, who, under the guise of friendship, wilfully offers erroneous counsels for his own selfish purposes, is the most dangerous "reptile" that can be encountered in the passage through life. We have recently seen many strikes of different trades and classes in the metropolis for the pur pose of obtaining higher wages from their em ployers. The spirit has extended, and is extend ing itself, and it appears that the operatives of Manchester and the surrounding districts have been infected with the virus, and have joined in demands which, from the advance required, has been termed the ten per cent. movement. These demands have been general in their nature, have applied to kind-hearted, liberal, and indulgent employers as well as to others who have not hitherto evinced much consideration for the welfare and happiness of their " hands." Thus, the Messrs. CHRISTIE of Fairfield, who paid the very highest scale of wages, and who, of their own free-will, had made other liberal concessions, such as reducing the hours of work without any corresponding diminution in the earnings of their employees, were attacked, although no just ground of complaint could be preferred against them. This agitation at Messrs. CHRISTIE'S has fortu nately subsided. A quiet interview, at which the malcontents were invited to explain the nature and extent of their alleged grievances, was suffi cien t to terminate the disputes between the mas ters and operatives of that well-conducted esta blishment. But, unfortunately, a discontented spirit prevails in other mills, and there is reason to fear that results very injurious to the manufac turers, and still more so to the hands, may follow if the movement be not arrested in sufficient f time. Before these ruinous consequences arise— before families, now contented and happy, are re duced to misery and compelled to endure the most pinching privations—we would address a few words of remonstrance to those who are stimulated by interested individuals to proceedings destruc tive of their own welfare and happiness. We trust that they may not be misapplied, for Englishmen and Englishwomen are reasoning and reasonable beings, who will not plunge_ recklessly or blind folded into a serious encounter without maturely weighing the probable cost, and ascertaining that the victory (if achieved) may not be too dearly purchased. In the first place, we would point out that the preliminary resolution on which the entire move ment is based is without any adequate founda tion, and consequently that the entire proceedings being based on a false assumption, should forth with terminate. It was resolved that " consider ing the present state of prosperity, the operatives were justified in striking for a ten per cent. ad vance The present state of prosperity ! Do they know, or do they understand the nature of the impending danger ? Is it " prosperity" to the employers of labour, to have money so dear that 4i per cent. is the minimum rate of interest charged by the National Establishment, a rate that will be materially enhanced by the provincial bankers and money-dealers, that there is the pro bability of even a further rise, although the rate is at present 12 1-3 d per cent. higher than it was previous to the 25th October, 1847, when it was deemed essential to sanction the virtual suspension of the Bank Charter Act, and to apply to Parlia men t for an indemnity for so doing ? Is it " pro sperity" to have a monetary screw most strin gently applied in every quarter throughout the length and breadth of the land, to have the most vigorous and energetic exertions going on to re duce the quality and enhance the pries of the circulating medium—the very life-blood of indus try—so as to create a paralysis among the pro ducing classes ? Is it " prosperity" to have the en tire profits absorbed by capitalists for the use of their money—to have all the honey taken from the bees and delivered over to the drones, the national hive ? If these things be so, then there may be some foundation for the movement ; but if not, then it should forthwith terminate, and the misguided men should forthwith discard their insidious and dangerous advisers. But supposing that they should succeed to the full extent of their demands—that an occurrence so very unlikely as the complete and unequivocal triumph of labour over capital should take place, that, in fact, there was a general advance of ten per cent. on wages throughout the entire king dom—that the misery and snaring that must necessarily be endured by the great majority of those engaged in the strike during the cessation of labour were forgotten—how long do they suppose the new state of affairs could last ? How long would they enjoy the fruits of their triumph ? Barely until existing contracts had been completed —until the employers were enabled to dispense with the services of their conquerors, and to close their mills until starvation would reduce the manly operatives to submission. With an ad vance of 10 per cent, they could no longer com pete with the foreigner—they could not carry on their business with a profit, or even without seri ous loss. They might live for a time on the remnant of capital, but what would be the fate of their unlucky victors ? With their miserable families starving around them, and enduring all the horrors of the most bitter poverty, they would have too much cause to curse their betrayers, and too late to proclaim their dearly-acquired know ledge of the great truths that the interests of employers and workmen are one and indivisible, and that however much the former may be damaged by a strike, the injury to the latter will be more considerable, even though the movement be attended with unexpected success. CENTRAL CI7IIIIYAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Martin and Justice Crompton.) MANSLAUGHTER.—Paciick Sullivan, aired 38. de scribed as a labourer, was indicted for feloniously killing and slaying William Stone Gampton. The prisoner pleaded net guilty. Mr. Caarteen appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. O'Brien defended the prisoner. The deceased was in his lifetime an officer of the Cus toms, residing in Bermondsey, and the prisoner was a dock labourer. On the 11th of last April the deceased was on duty aboard ship in the neighbourhood of his own home, and ongoing ashore he was charged by the prisoner with having stolen a cloak, and with having contraband goods in his possession. This charge the prisoner made to the superior custom-house officer of the Bermondsey district ; and at the time that he made the charge he said the deceased had taken a friend of his named Jeirey Wil kinson for smuggling, and he was determined to be re venged upon him for it. The deceased denied the charge, but his superior officer said it was one of so serious a nature that it must be further investigated, and accord ingly the three, namely, the prisoner, the deceased, and the district officer, left Bermondsey for the purpose of proceeding to the Thames Police Court. On the way thither the prisoner became very violent in his man ner, and at length knocked the deceased down. The deceased fell with terrible force, the back of his head striking the kerb stone, and while he was lying insensible upon the ground the prisoner kicked him about the head with great brutality, and then took to his heels. He was, however, pursued, and eventually given into the charge of the police for the as sault. Deceased was very much injured, but not so much as to prevent his attending before the police magis trate, and convicting the prisoner, who was fined 40s. for the assault. The prisoner abandoned his charge of robbery and smuggling, which he had made against the deceased, as it was only a drunken conception, and the deceased returned to his duty as an officer of the Customs. The injuries, however, which he received in the fall, affected his intellect, and on the Ist of July, he became a confirmed lunatic, when he was removed to St. Luke's Hospital. There he got much worse, and ultimately, on the 17th of August, be died - of a malady which the medi cal men of the hospital were of opinion had been super induced by the wounds he received on the head during his conflict with the prisoner. Mr. O'Brien addressed the jury for the defence, and contended that the evidence was not sufficient to justify the conviction of his client. Mr. Justice Crompton then summed up, and The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The Court sentenced the prisoner to four months im. prisonment, with hard labour. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) THEIICHARGE OF RAPE AGAINST A MEDICAL MAN. In the case of Henry Hamilton, described in the calendar as surgeon, aged 36, and committed by Mr. Hall, the magistrate of Bow-street, foran alleged rape upon Elizabeth Brown, who sought his advice as a patient, the grand jury ignored the bill for the capital offence, and returned one for a misdemeanour, and the defendant was admitted to bail, himself in 500/., and two good securi ties each in 2001., to take his trial at the ensuing sessions. THIRD COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) ROBBERIES BY A LODGING-HOUSE KEEPER. Mary Smith, alias Chapmap,, alias Howard, aged 30, spinster, a very respectable looking woman, pleaded guilty to several indictments charging her with having stolen a quantity of articles, consisting of table linen, hearth-rug, several waistcoats, a pair of trousers, and other things, the property of James Ward, Samuel Bradley, and others. The prisoner had, it appeared, kept a house and let lodgings, and, taking advantage of the absence of the lodgers, had plundered their apart ments ; and when the robberies were discovered the prisoner laid it to the servants, some of whom were dis charged. The Common Sergeant .said her case was a very bad one, and sentenced her to be imprisoned for 8 months, and kept to hard labour. The constable said that he had an immense number of pawnbroker's duplicates relating to property which had been stolen from other lodgers, and he wanted to know what was to be done with them. The Common Sergeant said they must be given up to the parties they belonged to. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.-(THIS DAY). DOG STEALING. —Henry Holborn ' a dog fancier, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Hardwick, charged with having stolen a spaniel dog, the property of Mrs. Louisa Cooke, of No. 9, Woodstock-road, Shepherd's-bush. It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutrix, accompanied by her maid servant, who carried the dog in question in her arms, went into a tavern, in Queen street, Golden-square, for the purpose of seeing the land lord, and, while they were standing at the bar, defend ant came in and claimed the dog as his property. This was denied, when the defendant seized hold of the dog, and forcibly took it from the servant. Prosecutrix at once called a police-constable and gave him in charge. The prisoner, in defence, said the dog was hi s , an d he had the fellow one to it at the present time. The dog which prosecutrix claimed as hers was stolen from him three weeks ago. Mr. Hardwick said defendant, instead of forcibly taking possession of the dog, should have a ked the lady for her address, and of whom she purchased the dog. The case at present was full of suspicion, and 'he (Mr. Hardwick) should remand him till Saturday next. In the meantime the constable was directed to communi cate with Mr. Bishop, of Bond-street, who, from his experience of the dog-stealing fraternity, would no doubt be enabled to identify the defendant as one of that gang. THE MAYORALTY AND SHRIEVALTY.—There is a great deal of talk in the City about "a stir" upon the day of the swearing in of the new sheriffs, as well as of an agi tation on the day of election of a Lord Mayor for the ensuing year. PLEASURE TRIP TO AUSTRALIA.—The schooner-yacht Wyvern, the property of the Duke of Marlborough sailed from Portsmouth on Tuesday evening for Australia, having Lord George Churchill, son of the Duke, on board, who goes out to the gold regions on a trip of pleasure. PRINCELY M UNIFICENCE.—At a meeting of the Liver pool Town Council yesterday, the Mayor (Samuel Holme, Esq.) stated that William Brown, Esq., M.P. for South Lancashire, had offered to present the town with a sum of 6,0001. for the erection of a building fur a public library. THE SPIRIT TRADE. —ln consequence of two very short vintages, the price of French brandy has consi derably advanced, so much so as to be found too expen sive to use for the purpose of fortifying low wines from the Cape of Good Hope and elsewhere, with a view to their marketable improvement, as has hitherto been the practice of the trade. MAYNOOTH COMMISSION OF INQUIRY.—The first meeting of the commissioners to inquire into the state and madagement of Maynooth College was held on Tuesday at the Castle. There were present—The Earl of Harrowby, chairman ; Chief Baron Pigot, Dr. Long field, Dr. Twiss, and Mr. James O'Farrell. The acting secretaries were—Mr. H. West and Mr. John O'Hagan. LARGE CHERRIES. —Mr. Moses, the large fruiterer, of Gracechurch-street, had the honour, a short time since, of presenting a basket of cherries to her Majesty. The fruit altogether was a great curiosity, exquisite in flavour, and 25 of them weighed a pound and a half. FUNERAL OF ADMIRAL SIR C. ADAM AT GREEN WICH.—The funeral of Admiral Sir C. Adam, K.C.8., Governor of Greenwich Hospital, took place yesterday at noon, in the burial-ground belonging to the Royal Hospital. The ceremony was divested of all pomp, and, with the exception of the several officers of the institu tion, the only persons forming the procession were the immediate relatives of the deceased. Admiral Sir Wm. Parker, who is stated to have received the appointment to the vacant post, was, however, in attendance. The sword and hat of the deceased were placed on the coffin, and, although it was expected the bands of the hospital school would play a suitable march, nothing of the kind was attempted. The funeral service was read in an impressive manner by the senior chaplain, the Rev. J. K. Goldney. Many of the old pensioners appeared much affected as the procession passed along. The de ceased was very highly esteemed by the officers and men. PUBLIC SALE OF THE VICARAGE OF HENDON.--Yes terday morning Mr. Alderman Farebrother attended at Garraway's for the purpose of disposing, by auction, of the "valuable advowson, perpetual patronage of, and right of presentation to the vicarage of Hendon," de scribed as being delightfully situate, adjoining to Lord Tenterden's park, s i x m il es f rom L on d on. Th e bidding was brisk up to 8,4001., but at that sum it suddenly stopped, and for 8,4001. the perpetual patronage and right of presentation to the vicarage of Hendon (popu lation about 4,000) was knocked - down. It appeared from the conditions of sale that at one time the cele brated David Garrick was patron of the living. READING FAlR.—This, which is the first of the great autumn fairs in the county of Berks, took place yester day. The attendance of all classes interested was very nu merous. The supply of live stock of all kinds for graz ing purposes was much less than usual. Neverthel ess , there was evidently an attempt on the part of the b u y ers to lower prices, but the sellers being firm, and the demand so great, the existing high prices were ea s ily obtained, and in some instances a considerable advance was realized for both cattle, sheep, and pigs ; the great quantity of aftermath, and the promising appearance of that important crop for winter feeding, th e t urn i p, ma terially assisted in keeping up both prices and demand. The supply of milking and in-calf cows was less than in former years ; those . offered were r ea dil y so ld at high prices. In the horse fair there was a good supply of useful cart-horses and colts ; the attendance of buyers was numerous, hones sold freely athigh prices, and c irt colts were bought up quickly by the farmers at prices varying from 18 up to 40 guineas each, according to age and quality, very few remaining unsold. Altogether this was a good selling fair, and many dealers who at tended for the purpose of buyin ,, on speculation were precluded from doing so, the range of prices for live stock of all kinds being such as to deter them from lay ing out their money. LINLITHGOW TRIBUTE TO ROYALTY.—It is stated that the palace authorities at Linlithgow hoisted the Turkish ensign on the palace, on the occasion of the Queen passing the ancient burgh by the railway for B amoral. The reason assigned for doing so was that all the other flags had disappeared at the time ; and that (louse' fluently there was no design in the deed. LATEST FOREIGN NEWS. FRANCE. On Tuesday the Emperor held a grand review of troops on the plain of Satory. The Emperor arrived at the camp of Satory at half-past two o'clock, and commanded the troops throughout a variety of manoeuvres. The artillery and cavalry formed the centre, and the infantry the wings. The right wing was under the com mand of Marshal Magnan, the left of Gen. Levas seur, and the cavalry of Gen. Korte. The Empress, who arrived in an open carriage, with the Duchess d'Albe by her side, and followed by other carriages containing the ladies of the Court, took up her sta tion near the hippodrome lately erected by the troops. The manoeuvres commenced by an attack on the centre, which gave way under the protection of a fire of artillery. When the movement of retreat had ceased, the cavalry made a charge on the attack ing party, forcing it to retreat in turn. At the same time the infantry, formed into oblique squares and kept up a sustained fire, whilst the cavalry regained the position which it had occupied before the charge. The enemy then made a movement on the right wing, and the troops there were forced to change their front to oppose them. After seve ral manoeuvres on this side, the cavalry made an other charge, and the enemy were in the end alto gether beaten off. The whole of the manoeuvres were executed with great accuracy and spirit, and when all had ceased the troops were formed into three sides of a square, the carriages of the Em press and of the Court, and a considerable crowd of spectators, occupying the fourth side. The Em peror then proceeded into the centre of the square, accompanie I by a numerous staff and a consider able number of foreign officers, Austrian, English, Piedmontese, and Dutch. The Emperor, having on his right Prince Napoleon and on his left Gene ral Prince Jablonowski of the Austrian service, then delivered the following address to the troops : " Officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers ! —At the moment when the camp of Satory is about to be raised, I desire to testify to you my entire satisfac tion. The three divisions which have in succession occupied it have manifested that discipline and confra ternity, and that love for the profession of arms which keep up the military spirit so necessary for a great nation. In fact, who is it that in difficult times has supported empires, if not these assemblages of armed men taken from the people, broken into discipline, animated with the sentiment of duty, and who pre serve, in the midst of peace, when generally egotism and interest in the end enervate everything, that de votedness to the country founded on self-denial, and that love of glory which is founded on a contempt for riches. That it is which has always made armies the sanctuary of honour, and consequently, as long as peace continues, there exists a community of sentiments, I may even say a sort of esprit de corps, between us and foreign armies. We love and esteem those per sons who, in their own countries, feel and act as we do ; and as long as political events do not turn them into enemies, we are happy to greet them as comrades and as brothers. Receive, my friends, with my encomiums for your good conduct, my thanks for the marks of attachment which you have given to me and the Empress. Reckon on my affection ; and be certain of this—that next to the honour of having been three times elected by a whole nation, nothing can afford me greater pride than to command such men as you." These words excited the greatest enthusiasm, and were followed by the long-repeated cries of "Vive l'Empereur ! vive l'lmperatripe !" The Emperor then distributed the c ross or the military medal to several of the troops whose conduct appeared to merit the distinction. The troops filed off before their Majesties with loud acclamations, and the proceedings terminated. The Empress then with drew, and tho Emperor gave a collation to all the officers near Marshal Magnan's tent. In front of the tent was to be seen a colossal bust of the Em peror, made in twelve hours by M. Rouhaud, a pupil of Pradier. At six o'clock, the Emperor returned to Saint Cloud amidst loud acclamations. The Ilioniteur contains an imperial decree ap proving of certain modifications in the statues of the St. Germain Railway Company. The Minister of the Interior has given a first warning to the Echo Agricole for having in spite of friendly intimations to the contrary, published, particularly on the 15th and 18th of the present mouth, articles on the subject of food which were calculated to excite alarm and to produce a facti tious rise in corn. The Bourse opened heavily yesterday, and the Three per Cents. were first called at 76f. 80c. It was subsequently reported that the Bank of France was about to lend 100,000,000 f. in specie to the Bank of England. The report produced a favour able impression, and the Three per Cents. rose to 77f. 20c. They finally closed at 76f. 95c. for the end of the month. The Four-and-a-Half per Cents. closed at 101 f. 85c. ; Orleans Railway shares, 1,240 f. ; Rouen, 1,066 f. ; Havre, 520 f. ; Great Northern, 865 f. ; Paris and Strasburg, 948 f. 75c. ; Paris and Lyons, 923 f. 75c. ; Lyons to the Medi terranean, 770 f. ; Western of France, 737 f. 50c. ; Bordeaux and Cette, 616 f. 35c. ; Great Central, 530 f. : Lyons to Geneva, 527 f. 50c. ; Shares of the Bank of Credit Mobilier, 787 f. 50c. RUSSIA AND TURKEY. WARLIKE NEWS. The Lloyd's steamer has arrived at Trieste with news from Constantinople to the 12th September. A deputation from the Ulemas, the united body of lawyers, priests, and men of letters, had waited on the Sultan, and given him the alternative of de claring war or abdicating his throne ; requiring his answer at the Feast of Bairam. The greatest excitement still prevails among the people. The service of the Russian post at Constanti nople is suspended, and the postmaster has gone to Odessa. The Bey of Tunis has informed the Porte that his contingent is ready to take the field. Steamers are about to be sent for these troops to reinforce the garrison of Constantinople. Izzett Pasha, late Governor of Tripoli, has been appointed to the Governorship of Belgrade, with orders to depart at once and assume the functions of his office. The Sultan has issued a decree ordering the Bank of Constantinople to commence its operations. Duz, the Director of the Mint, has demanded a last delay until the 13th of next month. The foreign capitalists have refused their credit to the Bank. They wish to treat with the government or to obtain its direct guarantee. We yesterday published at length the dispatch of Count Nesselrode in reply to the modifications of the Porte to the Vienna note. The Debats says : " Independently of this dispatch, M. de Nesselrode has addressed to M. de Meyendorff a special note, in which the modifications themselves are discussed point by point. We have not received any more precise information as to the contents of that note. As to the dispatch of M. de Nesselrode, M. de Meyendorff has been charged to read it to M. de Buol, and to leave him a copy of it. Our Vienna correspondent informs us that the dispatch was to be transmitted to the representatives of Russia at Paris, London, and Berli n , w h o were t o rea d i t to the Ministers of the three Governments, but with out leaving them a copy." After giving the ana lysis of the note, the Debats adds :—" Our corres pondents at Vienna inform us that M. de Buol, immediately after the receipt of the dispatch from M. de Nesselrode, had a conference with the French, English, and Prussian ministers, to whom h e com municated it, and that, after a long discussion, it was resolved on urging the government of the Sul tan to decide on withdrawing the modifications, and accepting purely and simply the note of Vienna. A courier was in consequence sent off to Constanti nople on the 12th, carrying the last instructions of the Austrian Government to M. de Bruck." A telegraphic dispatch has been received from Vienna, announcing the important fact, that Austria declares that circumstances no longer per mit that power to act unitedly with the other great powers. Instructions have been forwarded to M. de Bruck that he may assure the Sublime Porte that he must accept the first note without modifi cations. We find the following under date of Vienna the 19th in the Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort. It is evidently another version, and perhaps a more cor rect one, of the account of the procedings of the Conference of Vienna given in the private tele graph dispatch from that city, dated the 20th : " A proposition was made at the Conference of Ambassadors to send a collective note to Constan tinople to calm the uneasiness of the Ottoman Porte. This proposition was rejected. The Mi nister of Foreign Affairs ' Count Buol de Schauen stein, declared that M. de Bruck was charged to obtain from the Divan the pure and simple accep tance of the note. Prussia united with Austria on this occasion. The French and English Ambas sadors declared on their side that the essential point was to insist energeticallyriectof mediation matCiotnin without sotantinople on the adoption of the project modification, and that they had received instruc tions to that effect." It is thought that the Conference will not re sume its activity until after having ascertained the intentions of the Porte. The following fact, says the Constitutionnel, has been communicated to us, and we find it confirmed by letters both from Constantinople and Schunila. A European physician, who arrived some months back at Constantinople, obtained by dint of solici tation the direction of the military hospital of Sohumla. It appears that Omer Paella s)on per ceived that this person kept up mysterious relations with Russian spies, and in consequence warned that heaktepthteorne his guard. Soon after s be COURT CIRCULAR. BALMORAL. SEPT. 20. Her Majesty rode yesterday afternoon with Prince Alfred towards Birk Hall, the Hon. Mary Bulteel being in attendance upon her Majesty. Prince Albert went out deer-stalking. The Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred went to the top of Ben-y-Bourd on Saturday with some of Mr. Far quharson of Invercauld's younger sons. Earl Granville has left Balmoral, having been suc ceeded by Viscount Palmerston, who remains in attend ance upon her Majesty. The Marquis of Abercorn and Sir Edwin Landseer had the honour of dining with her Majesty at Balmoral yesterday. The Earl of Shaftesbury, who has been travelling on the continent for the recovery of his health, is on his way to London, to take his seat at the General Board of Health, in consequence of the threatened prevalence of cholera. The Right Hon. Sidney Herbert, her Majesty's Secre tary at War, has during the last week been entertaining a distinguished circle of friends, including several mem bers of the Russian aristocracy at his seat in Wilts. The right hon. gentleman left for London on Monday morn ing suddenly and unexpectedly. Lord John Russell purposes remaining in Scotland until Christmas, unless any sudden emergency of a poli tical nature should call him to London. The Right Hon. Francis Blackburne, late Lord Chan cellor of Ireland, and Mrs. Blackburne have arrived at Eglinton Castle, on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Eglinton. The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland are entertain ing a succession of visitors at their family seat, Dunrobin Castle, where their Graces intend to remain until the close of the ensuing winter. THE COURT.—We understand that, owing to the ex treme fineness of the weather in the Highlands, the so journ of her Majesty and the Royal Family at Balmoral is likely to be extended to the second week in October, when the Court will retur n to the south, vi a Edinburgh, Carlisle, and London, en route to Osborne. Isle of Wight. Her Majesty and the Prince Consort were expected this week to visit the romantic glens and fastnesses of Loch nygar, after which a few personages of distinction will he invited to the Highland abode of the Sovereign. The new palace is making considerable ‘ progress. It is only distant two hundred yards from the present buildin g , and the contractor is bound to complete it within three years. Viscount Palmerston has arrived from London, and will attend her Majesty to the south. was an intention to poison him he feigned to; indisposed, an d sen t for the medical man in : P ig tion to attend him.
