The situation may be readily understood. Not withstanding the contradictory intelligence received in this country from the S , at of War, it is im possible not to appreciate, from the events which are known with absolute certainty to have trans pired, the relative position occupied at thismoment by the belligerents. That position we described yesterday as propitious for th e SULTAN and Ominous for the AUTOCRAT. We repeat it-- earnestly and after mature deliberation. It is propitious for the SULTAN, notwithstanding the indecision, or (shall we call it ?) the ti m idi ty of the Four Powers—notwithstanding the with drawal of Austria long ago from the Vi enna Con ference —notwithstanding the vacillation of p rnsaia the irritating delays of Franc e, the criminal an d craven attitude assumed by England. It is omi nous for the AUTOCRAT, notwithstanding the favourable advance of the winter season; notwithstanding th e opportune passage of the Pruth by OSTEN-SACHEN, with a considerable body of reinforcements for the troops occupying the twin-provinces of Moldo- Wallachia ; notwithstanding the timely concentra tion of the forces already under GORTZCHAKOFF, and the retirement of his victorious assailants from before Oltenitza. How, it may be asked, can this declaration be seriously advanced in the presence of the remark able facts here enumerated ? How can such deduc tions be drawn from such premises —deductions so encouraging from premises so unsatisfactory ? We will explain. Our confidence in the moral and physical strength of the position of Turkey at this juncture is attributable, let us observe at once, not to a hasty or superficial consideration of tw o or three isolated incidents, but from a careful scrutiny of the whole sequence of occurrences from the very commencement. Having watched the progress o f those occurrences from the outset, having weighed them one by one in the balance of impartiality, having minutely observed the course taken by actual events, and the direction followed u after another at Pby on e s h a d owy attempt negotiation —we have arrived inevitablythat this convicti on . vve gradually, b in ut fact, at h Remember, have not jumped at a conclusion. We have attained it g r adually and c autiously, and, let us b e permitted to add, also conscientiously. And that conclusion we repeat to-day as plainly as we did yesterday. Candidly, we have as little hesitation in announ c i ng this a: our deliberate and unequivocal opinion, as we have ever had in eulogising the moderatio n sh own from first to last by the Sublime Porte, or in reprobating in the sternest language: in our vocabulary the lawless, insensate, and fla gitious policy of the Autocratic Government of St. Petersburg. Whatever the temporary situation of affairs the Danubian Principalities, whatever the mo mentary attitude maintained towards Turkey by the nominal allier., of the Cabinet at Coucitan tinople—we boldly aver that we regard the future as most ominous for the CZAr and most pro pitious for the SULTAN. It matters com paratively nothing that the .Councils at Ber lin at this moment are most tantalisingly balanced. It signifies scarcely anything that the sympathies of the Viennese Administrators tend rather in the direction of St. Petersburg than in that of Constantinople. The inevitable result of the struggle, whatever the course taken by Aus tria or by Prussia may be under the emergency, the certain and inevitable result of the struggle must be to the advantage of the SULTAN, and to the detriment of the AUTOCRAT. Wherefore 7 Why, for this simple reason—Because, Right and Might are for once united ! It has been customary among the admirers of the CZAR, and the apolo gists of the course adopted by his Government, to depreciate the power at the command of Turkey, and to magnify that placed at the disposal of the AUTOCRAT by a series of monstrous and preposte rous exaggerations. According to those persons, a campaign between t he Russian and Turkish armies must be at once terminated by the igno minious discomfiture of the soldiers of the Otto man Government. It has been argued, as though the contention were absolutely as preposterous as a struggle between' a giant of Brobdignag and a Lilliputian. Well—it may now be asked with some reason—How have these sneers at the Sublime Porte been justified ; these jeers at the Turk and these phrases of adulation to the Muscovite ? How ? Why, let events answer that inquiry. Has there not been a manifest superiority hitherto on the side of the Turkish soldiery, and on the side of the Turkish Commander-in-Chief ? Has not GORTZCHAKOFF been signally out-generalled ? Has not OMAR Ploas signalised himself wonder fully well, both as a strategist and a tactician 7 Again, say we, let facts be the fitting re sponse to the interrogation. Those facts, at testing that the Turks have crossed the Danube at the several places successfully, at Braila, at Widdin, and at Turtukai !--that the main body of the SULTAN'S army continues up to this moment strongly established at Kalafat ! that another portion of his troops continues to preclude the Muscovites from retiring upon Mol davia without molestation !—that upon two seve ral occasions have the soldiers of the CZAR been worsted at Oltenitza !--dhat the Turkish division, which at this particular locality had crowned itself with glory by successive engagements, had only with drawn at last to the right bank of the Danube from prudential motives, and this after having caused by their reiterated displays of prowess the greatest possible detriment to their antagonists ! Never theless, it is not so much from these incidents, as from considerations of somewhat larger importance, that we consider ourselves justified in asserting plainly, and in so many words, that Might as well as Right is at this crisis on the side of Turkey. Yes---.notwithstanding the reputed weakness of the Ottoman Empire, notwithstanding the co lossal dominion and irresponsible autho rity of the AUTOCRAT, it is SO ! It is SO because the patriotism and prowess of the subjects of ABD-UL-MEDJID are supported cordially and enthusiastically by the sympathies of both the French and British populations ! By the earnest and manifest sympathy of the two most powerful races in the world—the people of France and the people of England ! The greatest mili tary and the greatest maritime nation of Christ endom ! Remember—the sympathies of French men and of Englishmen upon this point are decided, unanimous, and unmistakeable. They cannot much longer be resisted. Sooner or later they must break down the barriers of political reserve, and rend asunder the veil of diplomatic etiquette. Sooner or later they must result in overt acts on the part of their allied Governments. This—in ful filment of the long-known wishes of the Emperor NeroLtioN, and in defiance of the timidity, the weakness, and the hesitation of the Earl of ABER DEEN'S fruitless and unfortunate Government. A new movement is on the tapis, arising out of the unfortunate dispute between the masters and operatives in the manufacturing districts. The agitators are beginning to perceive the inu tility of the different " unions" and confederacies now in operation. They see the impossibility of much longer maintaining the contest under exist ing circumstances, and they dread the conse quences of the full revelation and exposure of the deception that has been practised on their mis guided victims. Anything is better than the restoration of kindly relations between employers and workmen. The moment the eyes of the great body of the " turn-outs" are opened to the absur dity of their proceedings, the occupation of dele gates and committee-men is eo instants gone. The most favourable termination they can anticipate is to be restored to their original obscurity, to " bid a long farewell to all their greatness," and with it to the entertainments provided (for the leaders) at the various public-houses and " jerry shops" (the phrase is borrowed from Mr. GEORGE CowELL). Something must be done to excite the people, and induce them to retain their allegiance for a little time longer. Hence the notion of the " Labour Parliament," which is forthwith to be inaugurated, and which is expected speedily to cast its recognised rival completely into the shade. The idea is unquestionably a grand one. A na tional organisation of the working classes—an or ganisation comprising every man who earns his daily bread by his daily labour—all acting in one direction, and determined to deprive " capital " of its power, and make it the humble and obedi ent slave of their chosen representatives—to bring the concentrated strength of the entire nation to bear in any difference that might arise, and thus to crush isolated trades or occupations, as the unions could previously destroy single firms ! Surely such a result is worth even more deter mined struggles than have as yet taken place. Even the phantasm of representation will flatter representatives," o the pride of those wh o now feel that they the unfairly deprived of a voi ce i n the selection of legislators asene of o of the points :, the And payment u C u lt q a u rt e e s r t , ionab ly constitute an important feature in the "Labour Parlia ment," th ose who aspir e t o a seat in the new "Convention" fancy that it will turn out by no means an unprofitable speculation, and willingly encourage the movement. We can not then wonder at the unanimity with which the proposition has been received, for, as we have re peatedly pointed, out, the great body of the working classes suffer a small and mischievous clique to exercise despotic authority over them. Agitators are personally interested in carrying the suggestion into operation, for the double purpose of averting their own downfall, and obtaining the wages of their attendance at the assemblies. The idea is, however, by no means original. The plan has frequently been tried, and on every occa sion proved a decided and unequivocal failure. We need not go very far back to select a suitable illustration. Few can forget the proceedings which terminated in the expatriation of CUFFEY and some of his associates, and the prolonged incarce ration of others. Can any different result be anticipated to the present organisation ? It is impossible that the delegates or representatives, •or by whatever titles the parties actively engaged in the affair may please to designate themselves, could keep within the limits of the law without t ram, - -gressing the b oun d ar i es on e ith er s id e, an d exposing the mse l ves to penalties for its violation. The examples th a t h ave been made, on so many different occas i ons, should teach a salutary lesson t o those striving to constitute an imperium ihverio, and to create disturbance and excitement that ;must be productive of the most mischievous result F. Fr ow some of the observations that were made, not by working men, but by others who have al- ' ready suffered from similar proceedings, it ap pears that the operatives are now to demand a share of the profits—to become partners of those who kindly supply the capital expended in the construction of the machinery, the payment of wages, Sao.--that the proceeds of the sales, after deducting the cost of production (including therein the earnings of the operatives), are to be rigidly accounted for, and divided among the parties. The masters will have the barren honour of keep ing open the mills, finding the necessary funds, and defraying all the bad debts. They will no longer excite the virtuous indignation of Mr. CoYML by not "going to the ale bench ;" they will no longer "swill their wine," " have their servants to wait on them," or see " their wives luxuriating in silks and satins." No, the La bour Parliament will change all that, and those who choose to submit to its dictates and to place their operations under the control of the would-be legislators, may be well contented if they shall be permitted even to drink their beer much longer. Is it possible that intelligent operatives can suffer themselves to be thus hood-winked, to be kept in thraldom by men who can deliberately put forward such a project ? Before any embark in such proceedings we would earnestly commend to their consideration the various statutes against unlawful societies and associations. Let them especially study the provisions of the 39 GEo. 111. c. 79, and the 57 Gro. 111. c. 19, and take legal advice as to how far the proposed Parliament would come within these enactments, or be re garded as " a society " or "club," within the meaning of the last-mentioned statute. They may be well assured that the existing law is suffi cient to put down such absurd attempts. And were it even otherwise, a comprehensive law would speedily be passed to provide an adequate remedy for so serious an evil. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Again another morning performance and another full house. Verily, Mr. E. T. Smith is a most fortunate lessee. The boxes, pit, and galleries were swarming with youngsters of both sexes, for whom the entertain ments here are peculiarly adapted, being alternately astonished by feats of daring and moved to laughter by the comicalities with which they are relieved. Since the theatre was last open at two o'clock, the scenes in the circle have been re-arranged, and various novelties have been added. Among the most prominent of these are Mons. Desarais's troupe of highly-trained dogs and monkey* whose performances waled almost lead one to suppose they possessed the intelligence of rational beings. We would recommend our juvenile friends to pay them a visit, for they do almost every thing but talk, and are extremely amusing in such, for instance, as the dinner, where the monkeys deport themselves with a gentlemanly air as guests, and one waits upon them, attired in the brilliant livery of a Bel gravian footman ; in the steeple-chasing, where the dogs are the horses, and the monkeys act as jockeys ; and in the other equestrian scenes, in which one of these two legged creatures admirably mimics one of the best riders in the ring. These and the other amusements were received with the loudest applause. LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.' RUSSIA AND TURKEY. A telegraphic despatch dated Vienna, yesteray % states that up to the 14th no E ng li s h or French ships of war had gone into the Black Sea. On the 10th, 11th, and 12th, there were heavy storms. Another despatch of the same date says :—Re.. ports from Orsova of the 16th say that the Turks are withdrawing from Kalafat, in obedience to superior orders from Constantinople. The advance of the Russians from Krajova on Kalafat is con firmed. M. Muchin, the Russian Consul, arrived at Semlin on the 18th, having been compelled to quit Belgrade with his consulate. Omer Pasha has received orders to continue the war with energy. The whole of the Russian troops have left Jassy. Osten-Sacken's corps is not expected before the 10th of December. The Russians have levied re cruits from the inhabitants of the town and its en virons. They captured and pressed into their ser vice a number of Jews, who offered money for their discharge, and who were consequently re lea,sed. Accounts from Bucharest, Nor. 14, state that is asserted that Prince Gortschakoff intends attack ing the Turks, since he has lately been instructed by his Government to conduct the war with energy and perseverance. It is also said that the son of Prince Vogorides has been arrested and sent in chains to St. Peters burg for having carried on a correspondence with Omer Pasha, and for having informed the Turkish General of the movements of the Russian army. Six Boyards are said to have been sent to Siberia. They were found guilty of the same crime. The Wallachian Militia have been incorporated with the Russian regiments. A telegraphic despatch from Hermannstadt states that the bulk of the Russian troops are marching into Lesser Wallachia. On the 15th inst., a Turkish corps attempted a surprise at Turnul. The Russians were on their guard, and the Turks were driven back upon Kalafat. Their outposts are at the distance of a league from that village, where they have thrown up strong intrenchments. In the Russian camp there are frequent execu tions of would-be deserters. The news of the nomination of General Budberg, as Governor of the Principalities, appears to be confirmed. The Russian troops occupy all the roads in Moldavia. The Wallachian soldiers are incorporated by companies in the Russian army. Strong columns are in march towards Kalaradsch and Giurgevo. Every day there are slight skir mishes and combats of advanced posts ; but with the exception of what has taken place at Kala radsch, Oltenitza, and Giurgevo, nothing impor tant has occurred. The reason why the Turks have evacuated the position near Oltenitza, was that Ali Pacha did not succeed in crossing the Danube near Kalaradsch. The number of sick at Bucharest is 3,000, and amongst them are a great many wounded. In the late affairs several of the Staff were killed. Cholera, fevers, and pleurisies prevail, and sick are constantly arriving at Bucharest. No Turkish prisoners have reached that place. The Turks are still occupying the ales of the Danube in the neighbourhood of Giur vo. It is feared that the Turks may attempt to force a passage at Braila, to intercept the commu nications of the Russians with Wallachia, and to penetrate into Bessarabia. The Press of Vienna, under date of Constan tinople, 7th, states that the engineers have been sent to Adrianople to make preparations for the reception of the Sultan, with an army of 60,000 men, which will be concentrated in that city under the orders of Ruschti Pacha, General of the Impe rial Guard. The Wanderer of Vienna quotes a letter from Bucharest of the 10th, stating that the son of Prince Vogorides, residing at Bucharest, has been sent to St. Petersburgh in chains, Prince Gorts chakoff having intercepted letters from him to Omer Pacha, containing particulars concerning the movements of the Russian troops. It is said that six Boyards have been transported to Siberia for having had secret correspondence with the Turks. The Ost Deutsche Post of Vienna states, from the frontiers of Servia, 14th, that the Pacha of Bel grade has made strong representations to the Ser vian. Government, in order to induce it to send away the Russian Consul-General ; but that hitherto the Servian Government has maintained strict neu trality. It is said the French Consul at Belgrade supports the demands of the Pacha. The latest accounts from the banks of the Danube state that the Turks still occupy the island of Mokanon, opposite Giurgevo, and that they . were fortifying it. The Russians, after having in vested Giurgevo, were not sufficiently strong to attack Mokanon. A private letter from Vienna of the 19th inst. states that Prince Michel Obrenovitch was about to proceed to Constantinople to assert his right to the government of the Servian Principality. He has been induced to take this step by the vacillating conduct of the Servian Government towards Tur key since the Minister Garaschinin had been com pelled to resign office by Russian intrigue. It was believed that the claims of the Prince will be taken into consideration by the Turkish Government. In whatever way the retrograde movement of Omer Pasha be explained, it is the opinion of some persons that no hostilities of any serious kind will be undertaken for the present—at least, that such is the intention and wish of the Turkish Government acting under the advice of the present Ambassadors at Constantinople. The inference is that diplomatic agency is again at work, and that, during the brief interval of peace, one more attempt will be made to arrange matters. The mission of Fuad Effendi is said to form part of this plan, and it is expected that the Imperial Commissioner to the army of the Danube will succeed in restraining the military ardour of its General. It is not forgotten that the order sent to Omer Pasha not to commence hostili ties unless they had already begun was disregarded by him, and the explanation given was too flimsy to be credited by any one. To prevent the recurrence of inattention to the wishes of the Government, and which, under the circumstances, is perhaps but too excusable, is said to be the principal object of the mission. The exercise of such vigilance is felt to be the more necessary, as Omer Pasha had already ob tained advantages which though not decisive might well make him proud ; and if he was sure of reply ing to censures for disobedience by the announce ment of fresh victories, the result of his disobedi ence might be the best excuse. The young General Bonaparte's bulletins of his Italian campaigns were sufficient replies to the orders and counter-orders of the Directory ; but Oltenitza is not Lodi, now Arcola ; and Omer Pasha, though indisputably a clever man, has not yet given evidence of his being a Bonaparte. The particulars of the retreat behind the Danube, and of the real causes that led to it, we shall no doubt become acquainted with before long ; as also whether Omer Pasha intends to maintain his occupation of Lesser Wallachia. The allied Powers may lose not a day in trying to effect an arrangement, but they will not for that reason advise the Porte to relax in her preparations for defence. They will in this respect imitate the Emperor of Russia, who, while taking into consi deration the various projects of notes, did not cease for a moment his vast preparations for war. The notice of a contract for the supply of provisions for the fleets in the Black Sea would, among other indications, show that such is the case. The in clemency of the season may arrest hostilities in the Danubian provinces ; but it is not likely that the preparations for defence will be discontinued. The Turkish official bulletin of the events of the war in Asia informs us that on the 28th, as on the day on which a division of the European army passed the Danube triumphantly at Kalafat, the troops of the Sultan's Asiatic army gained an im portant advantage over the Russian force in that quarter (Asia), of which the Sublime Porte re ceived the intelligence on the 2d inst., the correct particulars of the affair being as follows " On the night of the 27th ult. a small detachment, consisting of irregular soldiers and of a battalion of the Turkish Imperial Guard, and composing a part of the corps d'armee encamped at Tschuruk-sou, moved down to attack the Russian fort of Tschekvetil (or St. Nicolas) which was defended by two battalions of infantry, three companies of Cossacks, and one company of artillery, and is situated on the coast of the Black Sea. The Sul tan's troops arrived before this fort at daybreak on the 28th, and attacked it unawares, with so much courage and determination that they carried it by assault, after a struggle of several hours, and despite the most obstinate resistance. As some Russian troops from a neighbouring fort came up during the con flict to the assistance of their comrades, the battalion of the Sultan's Imperial guard rushed on them, poured a volley into them, and then charged with the bayonet. The defeat of the Russians was equally com plete and immediate. In this affair they have lost the fort of Tschekvetil, 2,000 muskets, of which 1,500 are of the best quality, 4 cannon, and 1,000 men. The struggle lasted four hours. The loss of life on-the Turk ish side was inconsiderable. The Sultan's troops have made about 100 prisoners, amongst whom is the son of Prince George Guriel, and of whom four have already reached Constantinople, on board the Turkish steamer Schlehper. The rest have been embarked on board the Taif, which is expected on the 4th or sth. Selim Pacha, commander-in-chief of the army of Batourn, has issued the requisite orders for putting the fort of Tschekvetil in the most efficient state of defence possible. The corps d'armee at Tschuruk-sou consists of 8,000 regulars, 6,000 redifs, and 10,000 irregulars. The news of the passage of the Danube, and of the capture of Tschekvetil by the Sultan's troops, has been hailed in Constantinople (as the official journal states), both by the Europeans resi• dent there, and the native population, with the most lively enthusiasm." In connection with the battle near Batoum, of which the Turkish bulletin is here given, the Triester Zeitung adds : , "We understand that the crew of the Turkish steamer Schlehper, consisting principally of Austrians, and commanded by a late captain of the Lloyd's Com pany, as soon as it transpired at the landing at Batoum that their vessel was destined for the transport of the Russian prisoners of war, threw up their service, and went ashore. In consequence of this the crew was *hanged, but all the prisoners were taken on board, with the exception of four, who were sent by the Taif. On their arrival in Constantinople they were not, as formerly, thrown into prison, but were brought under escort to the official residence of the Minister of War, where they are being very kindly treated." The Allgemeinc Zcitung has letters from the Polish frontiers, which say : " In 'Warsaw several generals Lave arrived during the last few days, from various places, and others again have been despatched on special missions. The master general of all the artillery parks, Lazareff Stanicheff, has received orders to hasten to the Danube, and has already left Warsaw for that purpose with the entire artillery and parks under his orders. The Lieutenant- Generals Strogonoff, Iwin, and Offenberg, Lave re turned from abroad." _ _ ~------ THE FRENCH AMBASSADOR. Not a syllable of truth is contained in the repre sentations of a Protectionist print, attributing the absence of the French Ambassador to what it is pleased to:style a " difficulty" between the Govern ments of France ?,nd England. Count Walewski, as our readers are aware, left London last week for a few days, in order to attend upon his Imperial master—an incident certainly not so uncommon as to create any extraordinary remark. We believe that he has already returned to his post, and this is the beginning and end of the story. The two Governments remain, as formerly, in a complete unanimity of opinion respecting the interests of the Western Powers and of Europe in the dispute which is now convulsing the East. What course of policy they may ultimately decide upon adopt ing is a point which events must contribute in a great measure to determine.—Times. PROFESSOR MAURICE. (From a Correspondent.) It seems that so long as the world lasts, men who are true to the dictates of their own souls will suf fer much at the hands of those opposed to them. One more proof of this, is the fact that the " Council" of King's college have deprived Pro fessor Maurice of the chair of Ecclesiastical History, on the ground of want of orthodoxy ! Let the Council sit in solemn conclave, and send forth to the world a distinct and positive definition as to what is and what is not orthodox—and all mankind will assuredly bless them, and their me morable names shall be handed down in grateful remembrance to posterity ; but we much fear they would not all agree on any point of theology or religious definitions. We had given them credit for a greater development of enlight ened liberty than they deserved, and little thought they emulated the proceedings of the dark ages. It is a sad sight to see a handful of poor frail mortals sitting, in the plenitude of their power and wisdom, on judgment on a man whose outer life is the counterpart of his inmost soul, and whose learning and religious feeling are deserving of the deepest consideration. If the rev. gentleman had occupied the chair of theology, we, perhaps, might not have thought the step so rash a one, but we believe the proceed ing to be the fruit of bigotry and canting religionism. These petty movements form but the bubbles on the surface of the current, which will, ere long, burst out into a storm that shall dissipate much, if not all, of the present sys tem of Church discipline ; its ritualism and cere monialism will be swept into oblivion, and prove the prelude to a brighter dawn for all true Church men The Rev. Mr. Maurice, we believe, to be one of those who live in hope of a better time—one who deplores the corruptions now existing, and so pro minently discussed by Churchmen, the press, and society generally. Out of evil cometh good. Corruption calls into activity much talent, virtue, and nobleness. As true is it that the evil in the Catholic Church ushered in a Luther, as that the fallen condition of man was succeeded by the Deluge. Every age has its reformers, both literary, political, and religious, and the Luthers and Melancthons of our present time are not altogether silent, but wait till their voices will be heard. The world has ever been advancing from age to age—new discoveries, new inventions, new light, new truths have bad their birth, and old obsolete forms, traditions, and exploded theories have given place to them, but the step taken by the King's Col lege Council would certainly imply that they be lieve mankind to be unprogressive, in every sense of the word, and that the " orthodoxy" of bygone times is suitable to all ages. Men's minds are as diverse as the features of the human face, or the leaves of trees. There never can be uniformity of thought. We might as well try to make the trees grow alike ; therefore, from colleges profes sing freedom, the bitter wrangling upon "ortho doxy" and " heterodoxy" should be for ever ban ished. It is an apple of discord, an evil spirit, which lowers the dignity of man, impedes the pro gress of truth, obliterates genuine Christianity, and gives birth to much bitterness. While we regret, as Churchmen, the exhibition made by these collegiate oracles, we have this con solation, that they possess not the wisdom that enricheth. What is true will live. That truth can not be hooded, but will ever go forward with the banner of progress, and be the fire and scourge which, helping to drive out the darkness and cor ruption of the land, shall bring men to the sun light of boundless life. An advance of N. 10s. per ton in the price of copper was announced yesterday by the firms in that trade. THE STEAMSHIP GOLDEN AGE.—The American steam-ship Golden Age, which sails on Saturday next for Australia, will not take any mails, the Go vernment allowance of two pence a-letter, and one penny for newspapers, being deemed insufficient by the owners, while premiums of 1,0001. are being granted to ordinary sailing ships for the same duty. If the vessel had been an English one, the Post•office could have compelled her to carry a mail upon their minimum terms, as they are now doing in the case of the Liverpool Brazilian Steam Company, paying meanwhile to other ships on the same route a heavy subsidy ; but in the present instance they are powerless. It is understood, however, that although the Golden Age refuses to take a mail, she will carry letters gratis for such persons as may send them on board, and, as she made the fastest trial trip yet known across the Atlantic, and has therefore given every pro ' miss of a short passage to the colony, the mercantile community will probably avail themselves, as far as pos sible, of this privilege. ST. PETERSBURG.—Advices from St. Petersburg reach to the 15th inst.

The - reduction on pig iron is from about 625. 6d. per ton to 40s. 6d. per ton ; on bars and rails from 81. 10s. and 71. les. 3d. (according to their being imported in foreign or French vessels), to Si. and 4/. 6s. 3d. ; and on sheet iron, from a rate whic h was almost p rohibitor y , to 8/.

In the London i e r o b n e e i s n market yesterday no particular alteration was caused, the movement having been previously looked for. There was a rise, however, in pig iron of about ls. or 2s. per ton. LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) BAIL COUST. (Before Mr. Justice Crompton.) EX PARTE GARDNER-CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Sir F. Thessiger applied for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against the printer of the Morning Advertiser, for a libel published in that journal, refle4ng on the character and conduct of a gentleman named Gardner, who was in the em ployment of the Customs as a collector. The alleged libel was contained in an article which appeared in the Morning Advertiser on the 28th of October last, commenting somewhat severely on the Board of Customs for having instituted prosecutions against the London and other Dock Companys for cer tain infringements of the custom laws, and it con sisted of a statement, which the affidavits set out was intended to apply to Mr. Gardner, that these prosecu tions were instigated by a collector of one of the northern ports, whose only object was some pecuniary gain, or his own advancement, it being insinuated that he thought he might thus assist the department of the Customs which he knew was rotten to the core. Mr. Gardner, in his affidavit, distinctly denied this, and asserted that he had nothing whatever to do with the proceedings, and had received no reward, either directly or indirectly, in consequence of the actions having been brought. The Learned Judge, after looking, intimated that he would grant a rule. Rule granted. COURT OF EXCHE UER. (Sittings in Banco.) HALL V. GREEN. Mr. M. Chambers applied in this case, which was tried before Mr. Baron Platt, yesterday, and in which a verdict was found for the defendant, for a rule to shew cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial granted. The action was brought to recover one penalty of 1001. for keeping a public-room for music and other entertainment, against the provi sions of the 25th of George 11., chap. 36, sec 2, which was entitled, an act for better preventing thefts and robberies, for regulating places of public entertainment, and for punishing persons for keeping disorderly houses. No attempt was made to attack the character of the witnesses who came to prove the plaintiff's case, but everything they stated was in substance taken to be true, so that the verdict of the jury was clearly not founded on a disbelief of witnesses. The room in ques tion was at Evans's Grand Hotel in King-street, Covent garden. It was clearly proved that there was no license for music or public entertainment in the room. Mr. Baron. Platt—The only question was, whether the room was kept for music. Mr. M. Chambers—Precisely so. It was proved that on several occasions by witnesses who had gone there, that the room was open from half-past eight in the evening until late at night, or early in the morning, every day in the week, except Sunday.;, It held between 200 and 300. At the end there was a piano, with a gen tleman presiding at it. During the evening there were songs, choruses, glees, and madrigals ; and sometimes the party sang in character, and sometimes out of cha racter—the expression "in character," meaning dressed up, and "out of character," that the vocalists ap peared simply as ladies and gentlemen in their every-day attire. (Laughter.) There were tables along the room at which the persons who frequented the place were supplied with supper, brandy and water, or any other liquor they might call for. No money was taken at the doors, but any individual who had refresh ments could enter and listen to the songs and music, and witness what was going on. Bills were laid on the tables, containing the names of the performers, and de scribing the nature of the entertainments every evening. Mr. Baron Alderson observed, that the question with regard to the entertainments resolved itself into this, which was the principal, which the accessory—the song or the supper? (Laughter.) Mr. M. Chambers submitted that if the statute were repealed that would be the question, but not otherwise. The learned judge (Mr. Baron Platt) had left the case to the jury in that way, but he contended that in doing so he had committed a mistake. In the course of the trial some curious questions were asked —first, whether they were respectable people who went to the room, to which the witnesses replied yes ; next, whether the magistrates did not hold their meet ings a t Evans's Hotel ? to which an affirmative answer was given ; and it was thereupon insinuated that the entertainments must be according to law, otherwise the magistrates would not hold their meetings in a disorderly house. Mr. Baron Platt said the question which he put to the jury was one of fact—viz., for what purpose the room was used ? Whether it was kept for public music or singing, or simply as a refreshment room, or whether it was kept for both objects ? Mr. M. Chambers—Your lordship did not say that. Mr. Baron Platt—l distinctly left the case in that way to the jury ? Mr. M. Chambers--I beg pardon, but I must con tradict your lordship. If your lordship had so left it there must have been a failure on the part of the jury. Mr. Baron Platt—l assure you, Mr. Chambers, Iso put the question, and the jury found that the room was of public refreshment—th e ordi nary ahotel-keeper—and not for mu s i c ? Mr. kept M. for Chambers—The businesshthe of supply ni ' vice of your lordship's sum ming up, if I may be allowed to use the expression, was asking the jury to consider which was the principal and which the accessory, for I conceive that misled them in deliberating upon their verdict. Mr. Baron Martin believed that the practice of having music in rooms frequented by the public, and making no charge at the doors, the proprietors simply paying them selves out of the sum paid for refreshments, was almost universal. Mr. M. Chambers considered it was a violation of the law. Mr. Baron Martin said there was no objection to the plaintiff bringing another action. Mr. M. Chambers wished, however, to press this case particularly on the attention of the court, because if so loose a construction of the act was sanctioned the neces sity of applying for a license to the magistrates, as required by the statute, would be altogether avoided ; and he was satisfied if the law was laid down properly by the judge, the plaintiff would get a verdict, n otwithstanding the prejudice which existed in the minds of most persons against common informers suing for penalties. Mr. Baron Martin doubted very much whether the plaintiff would get a verdict in his favour even if the case was submitted to another jury. The Court was satisfied there ought to be no rule. It had been the practice for many years not to grant new trials in penal cases, or on the ground of the verdict being against evidence, and it saw no reason to depart from it now. The court thought that the learned judge had properly left the case to the jury, and, therefore, a rule could not be given for misdirection. Rule refused. A LAMP FOR INDIA, to burn the oil used in that cli mate, has recently been patented by Messrs. Sedgwick and Dawson, of Piccadilly. An ingenious contrivance on the top of the shade prevents any effect upon the flame by the action of the punkah, and the air by which the flame is fed is equally protected from inter ruption ; the most perfect combustion, and consequently all absence of smoke, is the result. Thi s i nvention, so long needed for th e Oriental dominions, appears in every respect worthy of this extensive firm, the ability of which to impart great brilliancy and effect of light to the salons of the regal and wealthy aristocracy, without dazzling, or a too great obtrusiveness of the means employed, has long been recognised. The discovery some while since of the diaphanous principle of reflection, and its applica tion to lamps, is due to these gentlemen, and widely at tested to by the journals devoted to matters of science. Mena'. MINMNIMINI FRANCE. The following distinguished persons left Paris yesterday on invitations to Fontainebleau :—His Excellency Lord Cowley and Ladry Cowley, the Minister of Sweden and the Countess of Lcewen hielm, the Ministers of Greece and Sardinia, the Minister of War, General Toledo, the Duke and Duchess de Rivona, the Prince and Princess d'Esclafani, the Duke de Padoue, the Marquis de Lawcestine and his family, the ount de Morny, the Count de Galve, & - c. The Moniteur publishes an Imperial decree, opening to the Minister of Public Worship an ex traordinary credit on the estimates of 1854, of 250,000 fr. by way of increase on the grants set down in the above estimates for the expenses of primary instruction ; and an extraordinary credit of 250,000 fr. by way of increase to the grants for assistance to communes for their churches and presbyteries. The decree of the Emperor, dated the 22d, open to the Minister of the Interior on the budget of 1853 a credit of 500,000 f., and on the budget of 1854 a credit of 3,500,000 f. for grants to communes for public works, and, in particular, to making and repairing of roads with a view to provide occupa tion for the working classes. Accounts have been received from Martinique and Guadeloupe to the 28th ult. They state that the two colonies were in a healthy state, notwith standing the diluvian rains that had taken place, and the intense heat which had succeeded them. It is said that several Miguelites have already left France with the object of getting into Portugal. Few believe that there is any chance whatever of success in the event of such an attempt being made. The following decree, respecting the reduced duties on iron and coal imported into France, ap pears in the Moniteur of yesterday : " Napoleon, by the grace of God and the will of the nation, Emperor of the French, to all present and to come, our greeting. " On the report of our Minister the Secretary of State for the Department of Agriculture, Commerce, and Public Works ; " With reference to the law of the 17th of December, 1819 (Art. 34.) ; " And after taking the advice of our Superior Coun cil of Commerce, Agriculture, and Industry, we have decreed and decree as follows : " Art. 1.

The Bourse was heavy yesterday, without any cause assigned, except that Consols had declined in London. The Three per Cents. opened at 74f. 5c., fell to 73f. 90c., and closed at 73f. 95c. for the end of the month.

The Madrid Journals of the 18th have arrived. The Gazette announces that the baptism of the infant of the Duke and Duchess de Alba had taken place, and that the Emperor of the French, repre sented by the Marquis Turgot, had stood god father. _ _ _ M. Reija, responsible editor of the Espanol, had been arrested for the publication of a seditious article. The two Chambers had, as usual, held a pre paratory sitting. A letter says :—" M. Martinez de la Rosa, after a conference with the President of the Council, had accepted the ministerial candidateship for the presidency of the Chamber of Deputies. He will be elected almost unanimously." There was to be no royal levee on the 19th, the day of the opening of the session, on account of the Queen's interesting position. The Three per Cents. were done at 42k ; the New Three per Cents. at 22k ; th e D e bt o f the first class at Bk, and that of the second at 4k. GERMANY. The Chamber of Representatives of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg, in its sitting of the 19th, adopted, after a discussion of not less than six days, the project of address in reply to a speech from the throne. On the first four days the dis• cussion solely turned on the point as to whether it should be on the report presented by the committee, the Government seeing in the panegyric passed on the preceding Government, a suspicion cast on the present one, which constitutes an attack on the constitutional prerogative of the King Grand Duke to choose the men who are to compose the Govern ment of the Grand Duchy. The Ministers having, however, protested their constitutional intentions, and their devotedness to the institutions of the country, M. Metz, th e l ea d er o f th e opposition party, himself proposed to send back the address to the committ ee t o so ft en d own th e terms of it. The project, modified in this sense, was accepted by the Gov ernmen t an d b y th e Opposition, and adopted unanimously. The supplementary elections for the Second Chamber of Baden, 25 in number, have all been favourable to the Conservative party, both the liberal and clerical parties having been left in small minorities. " The Austrian Government," says the Cologne Gazette, "is employing all the efforts in its power to moderate the ardour for emigration which has taken possession of the people. It raises all imagin able difficulties to the delivery of passports." The Augsburg Gazette states that the emigration from Southern Bohemia goes on increasing. A **umber of the inhabitants of Bohemia are also establishing themselves in Prussian Poland. " A letter from Aleppo," says the Cologne Gazette, " mentions an extarordinary fact in the annals of Islamism—namely, that the ulemas have frater nised with the Christian priests, and that on a re cent occasion they drank in common to the wank' hilation of the Muscovites." THE PENINSULAR MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 23. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's char tered steam-ship City of London has arrived with the usual Peninsular mails. Her dates are—Gibraltar, Nov. 14 • Cadiz, 15th ; Lisbon, 19th ; Oporto and Vigo, 20th. She brings 40 passengers, 1801. in specie, and usual cargep. Her news includes the death of the Queen of Portugal, who died in childbirth on the 15th inst. The infant, a prince, did not survive. The King Consort has assumed the Regency during the mino rity of the young King, Pedro V., which will ter minate in September, 1855, and has confi rme d the present ministers in their respective offices. The funeral was to take place on the 19th, the day on which the packet left the Tagus. filer Majesty's sudden death has bees deeply felt by all classes in the capital. The funeral would be generally attended by Per" tuguese, as well as English, merchants. The King Consort's instalment as Regent for his son, Dom Pedro V., had been well received by the people. The Princess of Joinville, the late Queen's favourite sister, had a severe shock upon hearing of her Majesty's sudden death when she entered the Tagus with the Prince, on board the City of London, 24 hours after it had taken place. The City of London left her Majesty's steam' frigate Odin anchored in the Tagus on the 19th inst., also the French steamers of war Newton and Canada, the latter having put in on the 12th to repair her engines, being bound for Brest for Toulon, with sailors. The English barque Brazilian, which arrived at Lisbon on the 7th with 460 tons of coals from Liverpool, had, after partially discharging, drifted from her anchor age in the quarantine ground at Belem during the night of the 11th, and got upon the rocks near St. Julian, within the bar. She received prompt assistance from Captain Scott and the crew of the Odin as soon as her situation was known, but, the vessel had become a wreck and was advertised fot sale. The Odin's crew had much hevere work in saving everything removable from the Brazilian , and deserve remuneration for clothes destroyed in the water, &c. Her Majesty's ship Queen, 15 days from Ply; mouth, arrived at Gibraltar on the 11th inst., and proceeded for Malta. Her Majesty's steam-frigate Terrible, Rear• A dmiral Sir E. Lyons, five days from Plymouth , arrived on the 12th inst., and sailed, after a tare hours' detention, for the Mediterranean. The City of London brings on freight 1,755 hag' chests of oranges, 1,780 boxes of raisins, 265 130 10 ' 5 of figs, 158 packages of dates, 221 boxes of eggs, and sundry merchandise. At Lisbon business was in a state of stagnation in consequence of the death of the Queen. Inscrir flans were quoted at 381 : Exchange on London, 541 for bills at 90 days' sight. At Gibraltar exchange on England was quoted At 524 for bills at 90 days' date ; on Paris, sf. 370. FUSION OF THE LEGITIMISTS AND ORLEANISTS. Letters from Vienna state that, during the in . terview which the Duke of Nemours had at Frohs dorf with the Count de Chambord, he treated hi°, not only as a cousin, but as his Sovereign ; in addressing him, made use of the words " Si.re, and " Rol.' On seeing about him the chiefs °' the Legitimist party who have not quitted th, e Count de Chambord since 1830, the Duke Ci e Nemours observed that he was too haPPI d to see him surrounded by personages who 1 1 a proved their devotedness and fidelity to th e Royal House of France. It is believed, that t ever, by members of the former party, , the reconciliation, however sincere it may ' between the members of the family, will not el-; tend much among the party, and th a t if some 0 " the more advanced of the Royalists do no t take this opportunity of adhering to the present Govern ment they will at once go over to the Reds, r ather than join the Orl ean i s t s , w h om they detes t, and in whose politi ca l h ones t y they declare they have no confidence. U n d er the influence of that feel -, ing of dislike, they go so far as to say that Vie reconciliation will be soon disturbed by fresh ill; trigues on the part of the latter. The Duchess ° e Orleans is said to have given her adhesion to fusion. If this be the fact, her adviser, M. Thier s 4 is thrown overboard, and his rival has gained t'; day. Scarcely has the reconciliation been effeeteu, ' when we hear of plans, connected with La Void °, and other districts, supposed still to cherish IRV timist predilections. Whether these are reali entertained or not is not known ; but it is i n (3 so certain that the west would ri se to place Henry V. on the throne. Various rumours C. C . culate also with reference to the army, but are in all probability unfounded ; but though bP , " fusion " counts as yet but a very few ( 181 : 4 existence, we hear the restoration of the Bourho... predicted' as an event certain to take placehat bi ; many months are over. To facilitate that evetit, s alliance between Russia, Au s t r i a , an d P r u s sia on 0 Eastern or any other question is earnestly desir e " It is feared by the more prudent of the Fusionis: whose action is discreet and slow, but not the l e sure, that a few of the more ardent among til e h o will force the Count de Chambord to some rr o d step which may postpone to an indefinite per l . l the realization of their hopes. However that rine be, the " fusion" may now be considered as a . 76 t accompli, and the sons of Louis Philippe have, e i r . length recognised, not only as the chief of heir family, but as their sovereign, the Count . 0 Chambord. The Prince de Joinville was preparL; to proceed to Lisbon to pass the winter, but 0f changed his mind in consequence of the death the Queen Donna Maria. TEE YELLOW FEVER AT BERMUDA'.' 03.
