But such is by no means the case with the Divan, as might at the first blush have been confidently anticipated. Instead of I receiving gladly and eagerly, as we were assured it would, the terms vouchsafed by the Four Powers with a view to the conciliation of the AUTOCRAT—tiIe Divan has expressed its willing ness to yield to the suggestion of its allies as embodied in the Viennese proposition only in the event of that document being altered in five dif ferent points thereupon plainly particularised. It is eagerly insisted by those who were lately the loudest in offering their congratulations to the public upon what they declared to be the satisfactory conclusion of the "Eastern difficulty— that the changes required by the Divan are in all essential respects unimportant. Important or unimportant in themselves, those changes are five in number, and must consequently be regarded by every man of common sense as rather formidable in the aggregate. It must be remembered that certain proposals are offered in the first in stance to the CZAR, and that those proposals are by him forthwith accepted—accepted, too, frankly and unconditionally.lt must then be borne in recollection that the same pro posals are proferred to the Sublime Porte, and that the Divan then intimates, after due reflection and deliberation, its readiness to accept the docu ment upon certain conditions those condi tions being no less than five separat e c h anges or modifications. Therefore, of co urse , a f res h commun ication with the CZAR becomes at once inevitable, and a new opportunity is thereby presented to him of withdrawing from his present pacific position on the plea of be ing trifled with in the conduct of these fresh negotiations. Instead, therefore, of matters having been satisfactorily arranged, as we have been told over and over again in language at once exultant and congratulatory—nothing, absolutely nothing, has yet been accomplished ; and the al ternative of peace or war remains up to this mo ment in a state of alarming uncertainty. Apart from every other consideration, the dif ferent conduct of Russia and Turkey in reference to the proposal of the Four Powers, must, we con ceive, be regarded as tolerably significant of its gene ral tendency and character. It has amused us to ob serve the mingled surprise and indignation expressed by some of the more infatuated admirers of the ABERDEEN Coalition, at the totally opposite man ner in which that proposal has been received at St. Petersburg and Constantinople. The CZAR has been eulogised for its ready acceptance, while the SULTAN has been condemned for his acceptance of it, being only, as we have seen, conditional. The latter has been called shuffling, and the former, magnanimous. Why, of course, the reception of this wretched proposal has been precisely of this diametrically opposite character at St. Petersburg and at Constantinople. Why, of course, the AUTO CRAT is all eagerness to aid in bringing matters to a conlusion in a manner to him so eminently con venient and satisfactory. And, of course, on the other hand, the Divan hesitates to welcome at once terms so detrimental to the interests, and degrading to the dignity, and injurious to the rights of the Turkish Sovereign. In this, also, we have been only too lamentably justified. For events have already proved as we long ago maintained they must inevitably, that the pacification of which we were assured was very far from having been effected, and that the Proposal sent by the Four Powers from Vienna to St. Petersburg and Constantinople was (whether accepted or refused) in the highest degree unsatis factory. Meanwhile the troops of the ATJTOCRAT continue to hold undisputed possession of the Danubian Principalities. THE WEATHER.—Sux OFFICE, SEPT. 1.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 1, 1853. needy and impoverished landlord, or a griping and avaricious agent, would not overlook such striking testimony of the ability of the tenant to undergo the " squeezing process," or of getting a person who would at least promise a higher rental for the desirable tenement. And the landlord was blinded to his true interests by the vision of increased rent, or a ready money "fine," while the agent disregarded his employer's advantage in the pros pect of what was termed (hibernice) "a dowser" (!) which he calculated on receiving on the new let ting. A good tenant, then, so far from being rewarded for his prudence and industry, was per haps turned on the wide world without any com pensation for his toil. It is unnecessary to detail the results of this deplorable system. Estates that had been enjoyed by successive generations, during a long series of years, were gradually passing into the hands and under the control of the worst possible landlords —the Receivers of the Court of Chancery ; and the legal expenses and delays, and the difficulties of making out marketable titles, were completing the ruin commenced through the other causes above indicated. Such was the state of the case when the " potato disease" broke out, entailing all the horrors of " pestilence and famine" on the doomed people. The less wealthy classes perished by thousands and tens of thousands. Myriads of British subjects—inhabitants of an intelligent portion of the wealthiest nation in the world— were swept from the face of the earth for want of the commonest necessaries of life, or sought safety in flight, shaking the dust off their feet when de parting from the doomed territory. Those who had once occupied a better position—who had once enjoyed all the comforts and luxuries of life —were but too happy if they could obtain the commonest necessaries. The extra poor rates, labour rates, and a variety of other rates, deprived them of the means of subsistence, and they were unable to provide even for their own urgent wants, much less to appropriate anything, how ever trifling, to liquidate the demands of those having charges or encumbrances affecting their properties. The Court of Chancery, according to the old rules, was clearly inadequate to meet the emergency, and the creation of a new tribunal became essential to meet the crisis. The Encum bered Estates Court was then established, the re sults of the working whereof we shall consider on an early opportunity. LINCOLN RACES. (THIS DAY.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) BROWNLOW STAKES.

Her Majesty drove yesterday afternoon, with the Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred, in an open carriage and four, through Woodlands, the seat of Col. White, and returned along the banks of the Liffey. Her Ex cellency Countess St. Germans and the Duchess of Wel lington were in attendance upon her Majesty. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, with his Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant and Earl Granville, accompanied her Majesty on horseback. The following had the honour of dining with her Majesty last night :- -The Lord Primate, the Archbishop of Dublin and Mrs. Whately, the Lord Chancellor and. Mrs. Brady, Earl Granville, the Marquis of Breadal bane, the Duchess of Wellington, the Duke and Duchess of Leinater, the Marquis and Marchioness of Waterford, the Marquis and Marchioness of Drogheda, the Marquis and Marchioness of Headfort, the Earl and Countess of Howth, Lord Eliot, and Lady Louisa Corn wallis. Their Royal Highnesses the Princess Royal, the Princess Alice, and the Princess Helena left Bucking ham Palace at '2O minutes past 8 o'clock yesterday morn ing, attended by the Master of the Household, for the Euston-square of the London and North-Western Railway, to proceed to Edinburgh, en route for Balmo ral, and reached Holyrood at 8 o'clock. They leave for Aberdeen this day, and proceed to-morrow to Balmoral. THE RUSSIAN IMPERIAL FAMILY.—Her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess Catherine of Russia, and his Royal Highness Duke George of Mecklenburg and suite, arrived at Torquay on Tuesday,. The illustrious party came from the Isle of Wight, proceeded by rail from Southampton to Dorchester, where they took post horses and joined the South Devon Railway at Exeter. It is uncertain how long they may remain in Torquay. It is not at all improbable that they will accompany the Grand Duchess Maria, who intends to day to leave for a tour in Scotland, taking the up-express, via Swin don and Cheltenham. VISIT OF THEIR MAJESTIES THE EMPEROR AND EM PRESS OF FRANCE TO BOULOGNE-SUR-MEL—Grand fetes are preparing by the municipality and inhabitants of Boulogne to receive the Emperor and Empress. Among other things is a splendid ball, to be given in the Theatre, to which an addition has been made of a room 200 feet long ; with other rejoicings worthy of the occasion. The troops from the camp at St. Omer are expected on the 3d, and their Majesties on the 4th of September. MILITARY BREVET.—We believe that in consequence of the Royal visit to Dublin, there will be a brevet issued on a small scale, to the troops stationed in the Irish metropolis. NEW DUTY ON RACE-HORSES.—By the new Assessed Taxes Act, which will take effect next month, the duty on every race-horse is 3/. 17s. a year. MAILS FOR NASSAU.—GENERAL POST -OFFICE, Au- GUST, 1853.—The mails for Nassau (Bahamas) will in future be made up in London, for transmission by the West India contract packet leaving Southampton on the 17th, instead of that leaving on the 2d of each month, and the return mails from Nassau will be due by the corresponding packet arriving at Southampton in the middle of the month. EXPORTATION or SILVER.—The exportation of silver by the next steamer for India and China will be ex• tremely large, and the next Hull packet for St. Peters burg is expected to take away about 100,0001. in Rus sian Imperials. Heavy purchases of silver continue to be made in Paris on English account, for which gold is transmitted, and the pressure for coinage of the latter metal is increasing, the Mint having now extended their period for its delivery to 71 days. The amount of gold estimated to be in their hands is little short of 2,900,000/. IMPORTANT STAMP ACT INFORMATION.—In reply to a communication, addressed to the Board of Inland Re venue, in reference to the operation of the new penny receipt stamp, Mr. Keogh has stated that " If A serves B with goods across the counter to the amount of 21. ls. 6d., for which, cash being paid, a memorandum or account is given, the transaction, if it takes place sub sequently to the 10th of October next, will require a receipt stamp." Merchants will require to keep a supply beside them. DRURY-LANE.—EXTRAORDINARY SCENE.—The pro mised performance of Nornice drew an immense audience here last night, but the promise was only in part ful filled, and a very mutilated and imperfect version of Bellini's opera was the result. At the commencement of the evening an apology was offered for the absence of Signor Luigi Mei, who was announced for Pollio ; and the indulgence of the audience was also requested for Madame Caradori, who was alleged to be suffering from cold, which, however, was not discoverable in the lady's singing. The gentleman who supplied Signor Mei's place very soon gave painful evidence of his utter incompetence. The grand aria in the first act drew forth sibilations, which increased, and ultimately ended in shouts of derisive laughter. About one quarter only of the second act was com pleted, when down came the drop curtain, speedily.fol lowed by that invariable sign of conclusion, the green baize. This was the signal for a perfect storm of dis approbation, composed of an admixture of hisses, yells, and outcries. After this had lasted for some time, and repeated calls had been raised for Mr. Stammers, that gentleman came forward, and with great difficulty ob tained a hearing, when he addressed the house in a defiant and justificatory tone, which acted like oil N herse'lf " upon the flames. In order to allay the uproar, Madame Caradori was brought forward; and Mr. an indignant go Stammers, holding the lady by the hand, demanded stand forth 3. whether any apology were necessary on her behalf? of the evening, narY proceeding withdrew, like e e laadny accomplished nipli throughout sbed a r t t l i i s e t, evenin g tii is extr a acquitted ordi. outcryn thefro from part the of audience,M r. demanded should retire and Mr. Stammers should that the lad ensued.

On Tuesday, at 11 o'clock, as we have already stated, her Majesty and Prince Albert visited the Exhibition in semi-state. The unpropitious state of the weather, though it spoilt the outside show, interfered in no de gree with the brilliancy of the spectacle within the build ing, and the people of Dublin generally, but especially those immediately engaged in this undertaking, may fairly be congratulated on the successful manner in which the ceremonial passed off ; over the formal opening by the Lord-Lieutenant it possessed all the advantages that a reality must have over a sham. Yesterday it was the Queen and her Irish subjects who met to celebrate the success of the Exhibition in a simple, straightforward, and genuine manner. The ceremonial adopted for this purpose was highly appropriate, and without any exag geration on the one hand, or any want of effectiveness on the other, to mar its real, satisfactory, and obvious interest. An hour before the Queen arrived, the doors, which had been open all the morning, were closed, and, although no account was taken of the exact numbers, it is estimated that from 16,000 to 17,000 persons had assembled. They certainly presented an imposing and brilliant appearance, spread in every direction as far as the eye could reach, and filling all the vacant space, ex cept that marked off for the passage of the procession. Gallantry had conceded the front seat and the best view everywhere to the fairer sex, nor can it be denied that the display of beauty and good taste in dress formed an important element in the success of the ceremonial. The members of the committee received her Majesty as she alighted, and conducted her at once to a small and prettily fitted-up apartment adjoining the main entrance. Thence, after a moment's pause, and preceded by them, she en tered the central hall. From gallery and floor arose at once the most hearty cheers, which, accompanied by the music of the National Anthem and the waving of hats and hardkerchiefs, were prolonged as she advanced to the upper end of the ball. His Royal Highness Prince Albert and the young Princess accompanied her Ma jesty, who was attended by the Duchess of Wellington, leaning on the arm of the Lord-Lieutenant, and the Countess St. Germans on that of Earl Granville. The committee, who, headed by their chairman, George Roe, led the way, having reached the foot of the raised dais on which the throne had been placed, formed a semi circle at its base—while the Queen and the other mem bers of the Royal family, ascending the steps, took their places, her Majesty in the centre with the Prince of Wales on her right hand, and Prince Albert and Prince Arthur on her left. The spectacle which the hall now presented was singularly imposing—in front, the vast assemblage standing up and cheering loudly, behind, the Court, in an attitude of respectful attendance, and be yond them, on the verge of the platform, a semicircle of the Irish nobility. The Queen appeared touched by the scene, which, probably, recalled to her memory another of the same description, though still more splendid. His Royal Highness Prince Albert seemed also affected, and both gazed earnestly for some minutes over the great area of the hall, to the aspect of which the enthusiasm of loyalty added an indescribable charm. The deep silence of expectation followed, as, at a signal from the Lord Chamberlain, the Committee of the Exhibition drew near, and their chairman, Mr. Roe, read the ad dress, which was published in The Sun yesterday. In a clear firm voice her Majesty made the following gracious reply : " I receive with sincere pleasure your address, and I thank you for the expression of your loyal and devoted attachment. I willingly contributed to this collection of arts and manufactures from most of the countries of Europe, the object of which was to promote the industrial and intellectual improvement of my people, and it has added much to my gratification, in revisiting this portion of my dominions, to see the con—ilete success of an enterp:ise which has been carried on in a spirit of energy and self reliance, and with no pecuniary aid but that derived from the patriotic munificence of one of my Irish subjects." Lord Granville was handing a copy of this to Mr. Roe, when an amusing incident occurred, which for a moment or two drew the attention of the assemblage en tirely away from the ceremony and concentrated it upon another part of the hall. A very elegant bronze foun tain, exhibited by Andrd, and placed in the ball, had tempted several of the spectators to cluster round it for a better view of all that took place. Whether the royal speech had exercised a mystic influence upon it, or the moment was deemed propitious for a display of the kind, or the Irishman's love of a joke overcame somebody who had the power to give practical effect to what he wanted to do, certain it is that this fountain began to play. The dexterous application of a shower-bath under such circum stances was irresistible. When the laughterhad subsided, Mr. Roe, the chairman of the committee, was presented to her Majesty, and had the honour of kissinghands. No one more deserved a mark of Royal favour. While other men have established for themselves a reputation founded on political notoriety, this gentleman has been content to rest his claims to consideration upon the basis of public services, apart from the strifes of party. His good sense and moderation of character well qualified him to take a leading part in the management of the Exhibition, and he forms one of a small but increasing and influential body of men in Dublin who are already acting upon the belief that the welfare of Ireland rests not upon acts of Parliament, but upon herself, and upon those habits of self-reliance which lie at the foundation of all material progress. Lord Talbot de Malahide and the Hon. George Handcock, who have also exerted themselves most strenuously in the cause of the Exhibi tion, were permitted to have the honour of kissing hands after Mr. Roe. Then that gentleman, approaching his Royal Highness Prince Albert, read to him the address, which the Prince Consort, with considerable emphasis, made the following reply : " Gentlemen —I thank you m os t s i ncere ly f or y our very kind and gratifying address. "It is with more than ordinary satisfaction that I again find myself in this city, at a time when the energy of the Irish people—aided by the noble liberalty, which you so justly commend, of a single person—has opened to the world an Exhibition in which I rejoice to hear from you articles of native produce, and of native art and industry occupy so large a space. "Most cordially do I respond to the prayer with which you concluded, that each succeeding visit of the Queen may find Ireland advanced in art, in agriculture, and in. manufactures ; and, I would add, in the comfort, happi ness, and prosperity of her people." It will be observed that the Prince significantly ex presses his joy at hearing from the committee that articles of native produce and of native art and industry "occupy so large a space in the Exhi bition," but when he examines it more minutely than he could do yesterday, his anticipations of pleasure in this respect will hardly be realised.

Then he disappeared and attracted no notice until after the Prince's reply, when the Lord Chamber lain =beckoned him forward to the foot of the throne. He emerged from the most retired position in the whole circle of the committeemen, and, kneeling down, kissed the Queen's hand, while the great assembly who saw her thus honour him testified their approbation by a loud and enthusiastic cheer. After this presentation a procession was formed, in which the committee and chief officials of the Exhibition took the lead, and the Lord Mayor and Corporation fol lowed ; then came the Queen and Prince Albert, the two young Princes, the Royal suite, the Lord-Lieu tenant, Lady St. Germans, and the principal members of the Viceregal household. The procession was not one of strict state and ceremony, for the Lord-Chamber lain walked like ordinary human beings instead of back wards, and her Majesty, instead of a diadem, wore a very pretty pink bonnet. Prince Albert was rather more formally arrayed in a Field Marshal's uniform, but the Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred were simply and neatly dressed in white trousers and waistcoats, with emerald green jackets. Mount Anville is about three miles from town, in the direction of Donnybrook. The Royal party included the Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred, the Lord-Lieu tenant and the Countess St. Germans, the Duchess of Wellington, and the Hon. Miss Bulteel, the ladies in waiting on her Majesty ; Earl Granville, the Hon. Colonel Grey, the Hon. Colonel Gordon, the Hon. Colo nel Phipps, and the Hon. Captain Bu r ke. The c or t eg e consisted f two carriages and four with outriders, and passed through Dublin shortly after five o'clock. The cortege proceeded up the splendid avenue of this noble residence at a slow pace. The carriages having been drawn up in front of the principal en trance, the Royal party alighted, and her Majesty, Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and Prince Alfred were received by Mr. and Mrs. Dargan. The manner of her Majesty was exceedingly gracious and courteous, and that of Prince Albert most polite and cordial. Mrs. Dargan having been pre sented to her Majesty and Prince Albert, by whom she was warmly and graciously received, the Royal party were after a time conducted through the mansion to the lofty tower adjoining, from which they obtained a view not to be surpassed for grandeur, beauty, and variety in the United Kingdom—commanding, as it does, views of Kingstown harbour and the Wicklow moun tains, Howth, and the bay of Dublin, the city, and the luxuriant valley of the Liffey, forming, when viewed from the several fascades of the tower, so many distinct pictures, each vieing with the other in beauty and per fection. Her Majesty and his Royal Highness expressed their warmest admiration of the scenery. After paying a visit of more thin half an hour's dura tion, her Majesty, the Prince, the Royal children, and the rest of the distinguished party, prepared to return ; and while the carriages were being brought round, the Queen and Prince Albert again entered into familiar conversation with Mr. and Mrs. Dargan, of whom they took leave most graciously on departing for the Vice regal Lodge. In returning, the Royal party pro ceeded at a quick pace by the route leading through Kilmainham to the Park, and arrived at the Lodge shortly after seven o'clock. After the Royal party had passed through the building, they resumed their former positions on the raised dais. In awful pomp the civic digni taries of Dublin now approached the throne. As they ascended the steps of the platform all the weight and responsibility of office fluttered in their scarlet robes, and bent itself in their dutiful obeisances. With an imposing rattle, the City Mar shal deposited his ponderous keys at the foot of the So vereign, and the mace-bearer similarl y resi g ned his badge of authority. Not content with standing at the modest distance of the committee, the aldermen and cor poration drew so near the throne as to block out all view of what took place fr.= the majority of the spec tators. The following address was read by the Re corder, and presented by the Lord Mayor : " May it please your Majesty,—We, the Lord Mayor, aldermen, and burgesses of the city of Dublin, approach your Maj sty to tender our congratulations on your safe arrival in this country, and our assurances of devoted loyalty and attachment to your Majesty's throne and person. " We recognise in your Majesty's gracious visit to the Temple of Industry and Art, dedicated by munificent pa triotism to the service and instruction of Ireland, an addi tional proof of your Majesty's solicitude to promote the interests and prosperity of your Irish subjects. "To encourage the industry, to foster the energies, to inspirit the enterprise of a people, are among the most ex alted duties and the dearest prerogatives of a constitutional Sovereign. " History will record, as we are gratefully reminded to day, that these have been the proud characteristics of your Majesty's peaceful and glorious reign. " It is not, may it please your Majesty, to the evidences of triumphant genius by which you are surrounded that we desire especially to entreat y our M a j es t y ' s attention. These are but the emblems of the new era which they are here to inaugurate, and of the new spirit which has hap pily been evoked in Ireland. "It will be more grateful to your Majesty to be assured that our countrymen, of every class, at length appreciate the truth that energy, perseverance, and self-reliance are the best foundations of individual and national prosperity; while, with humble gratitude, we rejoice to add, that the same All-wise Disposer of human events who, but a few years since, visited this island with unprecedented cala mity, now deigns to smile on the industrial struggles of our people, and that in every quarter of the land can be seen indications of steadily progressive improvement. That im provement, under the continued favour of Divine Provi dence, will best be promoted by the most extended com munication between the two portions of the United King dom, and we venture to entreat your Majesty's patronage and support for every practical effort to achieve this great national object. ...._ " Permit us, most gracious Sovereign, to express an ar dent hope that every increased facility of communication between the two islands will the better enable your Ma jesty to gratify the affections and promote the material welfare of your Irish subjects by frequent visits to our shores. " Your Majesty may be assured that throughout your wide dominion there are none more dutiful, more loyal to their Sovereign —none more devotedly attached to your Majesty." Her Majesty replied,— "I accept with sincere pleasure your congratulations on my safe arrival in this country, and I receive with the greatest satisfaction your assurance of devoted loyalty and attachment. " It is my anxious desire to encourage the industry of my Irish subjects, and to promote the full development of the great national resources of Ireland ; and I share with you the confident belief that the striking display of beau tiful productions of art and of industry by which I am surrounded is to be appreciated, not only as an evidence of successful genius, but as a happy manifestation of that per severing energy which, under the blessing of Divine Provi dence, is an unfailing source of national prosperity." The Lord Mayor then presented the following eiddress to his Royal Higness Prince Albert : " May it please your Royal Highness,—We, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of th e c it y o f D u bli n , approach your oyal Highness on your arrival in this country to offer the assurances of our profound respeot. " We rejoice to be afforded the opportunity of testify ing, in this hall, those sentiments which we participate in with every class of our fellow-countrymen. " Emanating directly from a patriotism unparalleled in the history of our country, this great Exhibition is still the result of the wisdom and genius which have marked your Royal Highness's distinguished career. " To you belongs the grand idea of arousing the intel ligence of the world in a generous competition to promote the arts of industry and peace ; and we congratul ate your Royal Highness on the glorious scene around you, which presents a practical proof that your teaching and axample have not been in vain. " We devoutly pray that your Royal Highness] nay long be spared to foster and support the new spirit which you have called into existence, and to promote the at tr I of civi lisation and peace among all classes of the people of these realms." His Royal Highness replied,— "My Lord Mayor and Gentlemen,—Your cor dial and flattering reception demands my warmest acknowledg ments. "It is with peculiar satisfaction that I have received the gratifying expression of your kind feelings towards me, under the roof of a building dedicated to the I promo tion of the arts of civilisation and peace among all classes of the people of these kingdoms and of the world. ' - and I truly rejoice to think that, in prom o ti ng suc h o bj e cts, you take the surest method of advancing that which I, in com mon with yourselves, have deeply at heart—l mean the prosperity of Ireland." The Lord Mayor and the mover and second( of the address had the honour of kissing hands. The ceremonial of the Royal visit was now over, and, having stood for a minute to take a last 100 l c at the brilliant spectacle before her, the Queen gave th. 9 signal to depart. Amid loud and enthusiastic cheers she was conducted down the central ball to the eni trance, whence she proceeded at once to the Viceregal Lodge— the music of the National Anthem accompanying- her exit, as it had her arrival. The satisfaction which this visit has given is unquali fied in Dublin. Greater formality might have nande it more splendid as a pageant, but would have detracted from its reality and value. It may therefore be re garded as a renewed proof of the good sense and feeling which influence and are perceptible in all her Ma►jesty's public acts. In the afternoon the Queen and Prince Consort paid the highly flattering visit to Mr. Dargan, at hiLs resi dence at Mpunt Anville, which had been postponed on Monday from the state of the weather. Her Majesty and the royal party paid a private visit to the Great Exhibition at half-past 9 o'clock yesterday morning. _ _ Her Majesty remained in the building for two hours and a-half. A great portion of the time was devoted to an inspection of the Fine Arts Hall. Her Majesty ex pressed her unqualified admiration of all she had seen in the Exhibition. It is her Majesty's intention to pay another private visit to the Exhibition at 9 o'clock this morning (Thurs day). The review in the park on Tuesday was to have• taken place at 3 o'clock, but, contrary to general expectation, it was, late in the afternoon, postponed until half-past 4 o'clock on Wednesday evening, at which hour her Ma jesty arrived on the ground in an open carriage. Just as the review commenced the rain came down heavily. The review, nevertheless, proceeded. Prince Albert was on horseback. The numbers in the park exceeded those present on the similar occasion in 1849. LATEST FOREIGN NEWS. RUSSIA AND TURKEY. THE ULTIMATUM. The subjoined is a translation of the N ote ap proved by the Powers represented at the Vienna Conference, and proposed simultaneously for the acceptance of Russia and Turkey : " H. M. the Sultan, having nothing more at heart than to re-establish between his Majesty and the Em peror of Russia the relations of good neighbourship and perfect harmony (entente), which have been unhappily disturbed by recent and painful complications, has care fully undertaken the task to find the means to efface the traces of those different points. "A supreme irade, in date of - ' having made known to him the imperial deci s i on , th e Sublime Porte, &c., congratulates itself at being able to communicate it to Count de Nesselrode. -If at all times the Emperors of Russia have shown their active solicitude (1) for the maintenance of the immunities and privileges of the orthodox Greek Church in the Ottoman Empire, the Sultans never refused to confirm them anew by solemn acts which attested their ancient and constant benevo lence towards their Christian subjects. "H. M. the Sultan Abdul Medjid, now reigning, animated ' by the same dispositions, and being desirous to give to H. M. the Emperor of Russia a personsal proof of his most sincere friendship, only listened to his unbounded confidence in the eminent qualities of his august friend and ally, and has deigned to take into serious consideration the representations (2) of which H. E. Prince Menschikoff rendered himself the inter preter to the Sublime Porte. "The undersigned has consequently received the order to declare by the present that the Government of H. M. the Sultan will remain faithful to the letter and the spirit of the stipulations of the treaties of Auscuijki (3) Kainardji and of Adrianople, relative to the protec tion of the Christian worship (4), and that H. M. regards it as a point of honour with him to cause to be pre served for ever from all attacks either at present or in future, the enjoyment of the spiritual privileges which have been accorded by the august ancestors of H. M. to the orthodox Church in the East, and which are maintained and confirmed by him ; and, moreover, to allow the Greek worship to participate in a spirit of, high justice in the advantages conceded (5) to other Christians by convention or special agreement. "Moreover, as the Imperial firman which has re cently been given to the Greek patriarchate and clergy, and which contains the confirmation of their spiritual privileges, must be regarded as a new proof of those noble sentiments ; and as, moreover, the proclamation of that firman, which gives every security, must dispel for ever every anxiety as regards the worship which is the reli gion of his Majesty the Emperor of Russia, I am happy to be charged with the duty of making the pre sent notification. As regards the guarantee, that in future nothing shall be changed at the place of visita tion at Jerusalem, it results from the fi rman p rov id e d with the Hatti Houmayoni of the 15th of the Moon of Rabbi Ulakir, 1268 (February, 1852), explained and corroborated by the &mans of -; and it is the formal intention of his Majesty the Sultan to cause his sove reign decisions to be executed without any alteration. "The Sublime Porte, moreover, officially promises that no modification shall be made in the state of things which has just been regulated, without a previous agree ment with the Government of Russia and France, and without prejudice whatever to the different Christian communities. "In case the Imperial Court of Russia should demand it, a suitable locality shall be assigned in the city of Jerusalem, or in the vicinity, for the construction of a church consecrated for the performance of divine service by Russian ecclesiastics, and of an hospital for indigent or sick pilgrims of the same nation. " The Sublime Porte engages itself even now to sub scribe in this respect a solemn act, which would place those pious foundations under the special surveillance of the consulate-general of Russia in Syria and Palestine. " The undersigned, &c., &c., &c. " [PROPOSED ALTERATIONS.] __.•- - - - - "(1) For the worship of the orthodox Greek Church, the Sultans have never ceased to watch over the mainte nance of the immunities and privileges of that worship and of that Church in the Ottoman Empire, and to con firm them anew by solemn acts which attest, &c. " (2) The communications. "(3) Of Kouschouk-Kainarji, confirmed by that of Adrianople, relative to the protection by the Porte of the Christian worship. " (4) And to make known that H. M. the Sultan, &c. " (5) The advantages accorded, and which may be accorded, to other Christian communities, Ottoman subjects." Letters from Odessa of the 20th of August state that an extraordinary activity reigns in the grain market. The stores were not sufficiently large for the quantities of corn brought to the place, and it had been found necessary to establish depots in the open air. The Trieste Gazette says --" M. de Fock, the Russian Consul-General in Egypt, has received orders, it is said, from his Government to quit that country, in consequence of the participation cif the Viceroy in the Turco-Russian difference." By electric telegraph we learn that Colonel Ruff left Constantinople on the 21st instant for Vienna, with an autograph letter from the Sultan for the Emperor of Austria, to whom his Highness ex presses in the warmest terms his thanks for the efforts his Austrian Majesty has made for the pre servation of peace. A letter from Constantinople of the 18th instant says :—" The grand council convoked for the 16th was put off to the 20th, when on the 18th, at seven in the evening, the news was circulated that it would be advanced some hours and would be held that same evening, at the demand of the ambassa dors, who insisted on an immediate reply. It is known, in fact, that the couriers who left on the J 9th brought the decision of the Divan. A fact which caused ageneral astonishment was that the patriarchs were, for the first time, called on to be present at the extraordinary council. The news from the army continued to be excellent, both as to health and as to the spirit which animated it. An Im perial order of the 16th decreed the immediate levy of the 80,000 men remaining of the redif ; but the act was, no doubt, connected with the idea of resistance which had caused the reply to the last communication of the conference of Vienna to be delayed. At present that the note so proposed has been accepted, with some trifling modifications, the levy loses its signification." The newspapers in the Danubian Principalities have been expressly forbidden to make mention of the movements of troops, and the merchants have been informed that they must not, in their com mercial correspondence, make any mention of military matters. 60,060 quintals of merchandise and grain passed the Sulina mouth in the month of July. The following is from Constantinople, date Aug. 21. By the last steamer from Galatz we learn that more Russian troops, with cavalry and artillery, had entered Moldavia, and that the Prince Stirbey was on the point of leaving Bucharest to visit a German watering-place. It is said, though on no very reliable authority, that the Russians intend to impose a quarantine of 14 days at Galatz in consequence of the arrival of the Egyptian troops. These latter have passed their quarantine, and are now enca m p e d a t B eycos, on the Bosphorus. During all these negotiations Turkey and Russia have not for a moment ceased their warlike preparations. From time to time fresh relays of troops are seen passing up the Bos phorus in transports towed by Government steamers. About 60,000 men have been already forwarded to Varna, most of whom are sent to different posts od the frontier. The Turkish fortifications on the Danube continue to be pushed forward with activit v. In the Dobrodja, in the environs of Shumla, and especially in the defiles of the Balkan, redoubts are being constructed, it is said to the number of 200. Perfect tranquillity continues in Constanti nople, though a strong and bitter feeling has lat terly arisen against what is termed the faithlessness of the allies of Turkey. An autograph letter from the Emperor of Austria has just been received by the Sultan, in which bis Majesty the Emperor prays his friend and brother to accept the last pro ject of a note, stating that if rejected he the Em peror will retire altogether from the question. The Paris correspondent of the Times, under date of yesterday, says :—" No intelligence has been received at the French Foreign-office since Tuesday with reference to the Turkish question, but I am assured that the Russian and Aus trian Ambassadors have never expressed them selves more positively than at the present moment as to its pacific and immediate solu tion. The latter, in particular, is understood to declare that the question is terminated, and that the modificati ons o f th e P or t e are m erely verbal, and of no importance whatever—that the Emperorf of Russia will not fail to accept them—and that of the evacuation of th e P r incipalities there becanan no doubt. lam bound to give the fact of such opinion being expressed in the quarters referred to, notwithstanding that it is scarcely borne out by the news mentioned on Tuesday as received from Marseilles, but these assertions it is impossible to know as yet the manner can only be the result of opinion, ee lin% that which the modifications, g unimportant as they are l described, may be received at St. Petersburg. It is nevertheless the expressed , opinion of these diplomatic agents that the Turkish question is settled. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE OF NEW YORK. The advises from New York this week confirm the correctness of the anticipations that an improvement in the stock and money market would occur immediately after the new law regarding the publication of weekly returns by the banks should have come into operation. Although the pressure for accommodation was still great, there had been a marked restoration of confidence, and in many descriptions of speculative securities, a reco very of about 3 or 4 per cent. is observable. The re turns just issued of the 55 New York banks show a total circulation of 11,500,000/., and specie to the amount of 2,150,000/. The contraction effected within the week preceding their publication was equal to 650,0001., and the fact that in the face of this sudden movement not a single failure has been announced, either among commercial firms or at the board of brokers, is referred to as furnishing strong evidence of the general soundness of the trade of the country, of which there is another indication in the excess of the imports of specie over exports since the commencement of the year. With regard to the deposits of bullion in the sub-trea.smies throughout the Union, a statement just made up to the 26th of July showed the amount at that date to have been $22,896,306, or about 4,580,0001., and a steady in crease has subsequently taken place. The offer of the Secretary of the Treasury to purchase with a portion of these funds 1,000,0001. United States' Sixes at 121 had not been successful, only about 100,0001. having apparently as yet been been brought in, while the firmer tendency of the market was likely to check any further supply. In relation to the probable consignments of grain to this side, although the best accounts received from the London Corn-Exchange were those of the 6th of August, which showed a slight tendency to reaction, a confident feeling was enter tained that an increased shipment would continue to prove profitable, and there was, consequently, a good demand for that purpose. The crop of wheat had been secured throughout the country, and the result was a more than average yield, while the quality is alleged never to have been surpassed. The exports to Liverpool during the week just ended had been 87,114 bushels, against 18,209 bushels in the corresponding week of 1852, and there can be little doubt that the late ac counts from England will stimulate the transmission of augmented quantities, which will affect the rate of exchange, and temporarily diminish the further remit tance of specie to this country. In the general busi ness of New York it appears that the demand for manufactured goods was well maintained, and that, notwithstanding the high value of money, prospects were considered favourable. It appears that the imports of railroad iron from the commence ment of the year to the 13th of August had amounted to 483,132 bars, valued at 650,0001., against 289,321 bars, valued at 227,000/., in the same period of 1852. There was no l a t er i n telligence from California. At New Orleans busin es s was almost entirely suspended, owing to the yellow fever, the deaths from which . now amounted at daily t the e o nearly end o f May 29 0 Ipersons.oo had dSbinee Since n e attacked, lt scom mencement of whom 3,039 had died. Later accounts . had been re ceived from Mexico, but their precise date is not given. The Government are said to have made a prop os it ion for a loan of 3,500,0 001 . on the security of Church pro perty, which had called forth considerable opposition. Mercantile affairs were in an unsatisfactory st a t e , an d several failures had taken place in the provinces, among which were those of Arbida and Co., of Zacatecas, for 25,0001.; Valenzuela and Suarez, of Silao, for 16,000/. ' • and M. Villanueva, of Guadalavara, for 20,0001. Fr o m the Texan frontier the indications still s h ow t h at any lengthened state of peace is improbabl e , quarre l s with the American settlers for alleged aggressions being of constant occurrence. An affray of this nature had just been attended with loss of life, f rom an incursion of Americans to rescue one of their countryman who had been apprehended for som e o ff ence b y the Mexican au thorities. .MANNING SHIPS I N THE T YNE.— Th e comm i ttee ap pointed at the late meeting of shipowners recommends to the owners of shipping property, in a circular ad dressed to each shipowner, " not to employ any m as ' ters on board their vessels who are members of the Seamen's Association, as (the committee remark) they are informed th a t th ere are many masters o f s hips who are themselves members of the Seamen's Association, and that they either assist or connive at the present offensive proceedings of seamen."—Shipping Gazette. FRANCE. In The Sun of Thursday last, we alluded to a long article in the Constitutionnel, the semi-official organ of the French Government, on an anonymous pamphlet, purporting to be by a Belgian, relative to the marriage of the Duke de Brabant with the Archduchess of Austria. The substance of the pamphlet was that Belgium could never be an in dependent state, but must be confounded witli or dependent upon some neighbouring and more im portant government ; that France is the country which should possess or protect Belgium ; and that in consequence of this marriage, which was a defi the ante of France, she must necessarily fall in t° • tu arms of Austria. To these views the Cons the an tionnel gave a kind of qualified assent, d.tA, course so taken by that journal has been sevew;i commented on by the press on the Continent. 4. was even said that " explanations" would be a to manded by the Belgian Government in reference the offensive article. The ssemblee Hata the Siècle of yesterday, now reprobate the conda.e_" of the Constitutionnel, under the perfect con% tion, apparently, that it is disapprov ed of bY Government vice The Siecle . c, , , after quotin some offensive pass in the pamphlet says : "We ask all peopl e of r; faith, if it be becoming that a semi-official pito should give publicity to attacks of this That Bel n eighbouring and allied government nth gium has committed a fault in allying herself "t-iff Austria, we believe ; but this fault does not j 115 ,, d the reprisals of the Constitutionnel. We are that the act of this paper is highly disapproved ot v ir .; the French Government. We make no difficaltYl s „t believing that. Neither France nor the Goverul%". of France has need of the humiliation of Belg w r e t.. Austria has at present no longer the power of disq ll . 2, er ing any one. Because she has given a princeessgtoes blood to the Belgian revolutionary dynasty, not follow that she can to-morrow or aftervo;ai absorb Belgium. If she were anxious in an, E t to to possess that country, we should be the w",, so protest against an ambition so deplorable anuera, menacing for France. But it would be s u li i r ies madness to cause it to be supposed that t c v e3 have arrived at such a point. No one 111 bli li c i s ts Belgium, unless it be the too enterprising P u " tw ice of the Constitutionnel, who have already been irriaa disavowed. The interest of all is, that 13;15-de. nationality continue to develope itsel f in all;p1h pendent manner, and that its neutrality, wrc il ity important to all, shall be maintained in 00111°r-- with treaties." ears The last news on the Eastern question aPP ¢rsr to have been very displeasing t o the tone which which has mo re than once assumed a vrarlike on the subject. It i s no t sa tisfied with the ° l oc i t enance of peace on the conditions announee_ftgd, asserts that nothing has been gained in the at' ment by any other power than Russia. A letter from Dieppe says -- " The Emperor gave orders for the removal of e old towers on the beach, which have long been a ll ; / 1 0 sore to the inhabitants, and every stave of theln_j removed in a single day. He has likewise orcleine promenade and a garden, in the English style, be commenced in a few days. Theplants are sa id drawn by the Empress herself."
