THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 26, 1853 THEATRE4IOYAL, DRITRY-LANE.—THIS I the vacillating, cowardly, and dishonourable EVENING.—Mr. E. T. SMITH, Lessee, begs emphatically to ac knowledge the almost unparallel,d support with' which his en- , policy hitherto pursued, and act with vigour and deavours to resuscitate the national drama on the boards of old ; Drury have been reciprocated by the overflow of admiring and dis- e ffi ciency, even at the eleventh hour.

The Bears are hut two well aware of the effects pro duced on the public mind by constant excitement. They see, and take full advantage of, the opportu nities fcr plunder thereby afforded. Let bona fide iuvesters in stocks or shares, however, refuse to fall into their traps. Let them rely confidently on the resources of their Fatherland, and the impos sibility of its sustaining any serious damage in the conflict, if such should really be forced upon it. But, above all, let them be well assured that no_ thing is so well calculated to avert war as the exhi bition of a firm and unyielding front and inflex ible determination. There was much truth in the blundering assertion of Sir BOYLE ROCHE, that " the best way to avoid danger is to meet it full in the face." If among the means of peace said to have been exhaustel by our diplomatists, we had, on the crossing of the Pruth, moved our vessels to the Sea of Marmora—if we had accom panied that movement by a distinct and unequi vocal declaration that on the first shot that was fired in anger the combined fleet would bombard Odessa and Sebastopol, and that another division would sail for the Baltic and keep watch over Cron s tadt, the question would have been long since amicably arranged, and we should have been spared the enormous loss and inconve nience occasioned by the long-protracted negotia tions, and the unsettled state of affairs. Let us, then, ere it is too late, adopt a vigorous and manly policy worthy of our ancient reputation. It is by such conduct only that we can partially repair the damage already inflicted, and prevent further and more serious injury from being sustained.

It has been suggested to the leaders of the Peace Conference, we suppose in the way of banter, that they should undertake the task of reconciling the masters and men, who have mutually struck. We really see no reason in sober seriousness why they should not accept the challenge. If successful, we are confident that already thousands of families would say, " Blessed are the peace-makers," and every week will in crease the numbers of wives, mothers, and chil dren, at least, who would give them heartfelt thanks for deliverance from debt, semi -starvation, and the pawnbroker. If unsuccessful, no one would reproach them for failure in so benevolent au attempt. It is, we fear, vain to reduce a strike of classes to its component elements of individual dealing. It may be true, as far as it goes, that the transactions between operatives and the millowners should be as simple a matter as dealing between a tradesman and his customer. ' In pra c ti ce, however, many incidental differences widely distinguish the two cases. The most im portant are the distinctness with which, to the vulgar eye, the relation between a manufacturer and his workman stands out to view ; and the fact, that it is only by the hands in a factory, or other large business, combining as one man they c an produce any impression o n th e one w h o stands in the same relation to them all. Fundamentally the buyers and sellers of labour must obey the samelaws as other buyers and sellers. It will require, however, all the homely eloquence of the Anti-Corn-Law Leaguers to convince the Preston cotton weavers of this undoubted fact. To the eye of the many the Master appears to be the man who doles out to each workman his living. He seems to hold in his hands the m ea _ sure of each man's comforts. It is easy to ima gine, especially when he builds a mansion near his mill in the country, or erects one out of the town when inconvenienced by its smoke, that if he would he could spare somewhat more to each of his servants. It looks like getting rich at the cost of their imperfectly requited toil. To a dis interested and educated man it is generally easy enough to show the fallacy of these imaginations, but not to an interested and illiterate man. All the orators, too, to whom the operative listens (too often knowing much better) cherish and strengthen his delusion, and occasionally success ful strikes tend yet more to confirm it. Further, to get rich by paying labourers as little as pos sible will always seem more invidious than getting rich by obtaining the best price for mere articles of trade in the open market. Commercially, a pound of sugar and a day's labour are equally articles of sale ; but the pound of sugar knows nothing of comfort or discomfort in the process-- a penny more or les s f or it l eaves i t b ut a pound of sugar still, whil e a few pence per day more or less for labour touch the comforts, it may be the vital necessa r i es , of a family of ur brother men. The cl ose prox i mity, so to speak, of the wages of labour to h uman happiness or misery, will always make the p r i ce o f labour more a consideration for the heart than the price of other things. Even when, as now, the cost of necessaries and comforts is ,o painfully felt by many, there is more ten dency to blame the payers of unaltered wages than the sellers of food. Wages will seem more de pendent on mere will than the prices of articles of which PROVIDENCE has furnished but a dimi nished quantity. To such circumstances as these may be traced so much of the bitterness attendant upon strikes. Masters think men dissatisfied and grumbling be cause having done with so many shillings per week they ask for more. Men think masters avaricious and hard, because trade being brisker they are unwilling to advance. It becomes a question of will, and will no t ; of mutual misun derstanding of each other's positions; of false views of honour on each side, till what was begun as a tolerably cool fight ends in the bitterest exaspera tions, the deepest distress, breaches of the public peace, the trade of a district perhaps ruined, and the orders transferred for a permanency to other lands. We are sorry to observe that already the Preston contest begins to assume a more than commercial aspect. The grand complaint, according to Mr. GEORGE COWELL, whose letter has attracted so much attention, now is, that while many of the masters received the deputa tions from their workmen with " a courtesy and respect which did them the highest honour," and which, be the result of the contest what it may, " will be remembered with gra titude," the majority " spurned the hands from their presence, treated them with insult, and, in a few cases, with rudeness unbearable." Of course we have only Mr. COWELL'S word for this. If it be true, we certainly wish it were not so ; far be it from us to encourage masters in un gentlemanly behaviour, and least of all towards de- pendents. But while no doubt bearish masters can be found, as well as bearish workmen, the latter must take care not to confound the sense of independence in a master with rudeness. We think it perfectly natural that many a master did, from the thoroughly English feeling of keeping his own concerns to himself, pretty decidedly re sent the demand for proof that he could not afford the advance of 10 per cent. Bad enough, he thought, to have to expose my income to the agents of Mr. GLADSTONE, but to have all these workmen debating my profits and losses at every tavern —no, I will starve rather than submit to it. Mr. COWELL, too, must forgive us, if we are compelled to doubt, however respectfully they might think proposals intrinsically repulsively worded, whether the bearers of the proposals always discharged their ungrateful office in the least irritating manner. Mr. COWELL, though striving to write like an apostle of meekness, indulges in some rhetoric as bad in temper as it is deplorably vicious in taste ; and it is therefore almost certain, that some of his legates did not altogether refrain from provoking language. We know too well the threatening impudence with which Trades'iUnions, and other combined bodies of men, confident in numbers and organi sation, are but too ready to use towards their masters. Corporations of this kind are tempted, like all corporations, to behave unitedly as they would not individually. We must repeat, then, our regret that the bitterest and most lasting element of strife and should have been in troduced into this dispute. It will be a great advantage if any who on either side have descended to bad temper and irritating expres sions, would recal all that is offensive on that score immediately. MONEY MARKET As to the final result, there appears to us little doubt, that after:terrible suffering, if the contest be prolonged, the men must give way. They are by no means so well provided with the sinews of war as were the amalgamated en gineers ; over whom the masters obtained never theless a complete triumph. No doubt, if vengeance be a gratification, some of these masters must suffer by the strike ; by no means all of them, however, in the actual state of trade. But what are their sufferings com pared with those of the men ! What numbers of families are put upon short allowance, at once, and what numbers will have immediately to pawn some of the acquisitions of their late good employment. The master will not alter his daily diet, or scarcely retrench a pleasure ; the work man, his wife, and children must immediately eat less food and worse, and know no pleasure but that of attending exasperating meetings, and lis tening to orators who enrich themselves by leading him to penury. It is certain, we think, that the masters will not give way; they have the means for the longer battle, and their temper is roused, as well as all their notions of factory government violated. Meantime, the price of food is almost doubled to the man who has lost half his wages at least. He is punished both ways :he receives less and pays more. His miserable dole from the AND CITY INTELLIGENCE The Foreign exchanges were quoted yesterday afternoon for 3 months' bills as follows :—Paris, 25.25 to 30 ; Antwerp, 25.25 to 271 ; Amsterdam, 11.171 to 17 ; Hamburgh, 13.6 to 61 ; Frankfort, 1191 to 111; and Trieste, 11.24 to 30. These rates, excepting Trieste, show a further downward tendency. The Funds opened well this morning, and have gone higher since owing to the fine weather and the large arrivals of specie. Even the announce . meat that the allied fleets have passed up the Dar danelles is calculated to give confidence. Consols have been 92, and since 92 and 92i.

Great Northern are up 10s. to 11. ; Midland, ss. to 10s. ; York and Berwick 11., and others in proportion. French shares are in demand at advanced prices. The Gold Mine Shares are more active, and in some instances at rather fuller prices. The shares committee will not purchase much more than half what it would have done this time last year. Nay, he is trebly mulcted ; for the price of food mulcts him of employment. His master's cus of the Land Companies' have been quiet but firmer, and in the Australian Banks there is no thing doing. ,omers have to spend millions more on mere living ;han they had last year, and all these millions are withdrawn from the purchase of manufactured articles. With a home market greatly diminished by the cost of food, the operative, after starving and fretting for weeks or months, must return to his toil in broken spirits, and with only the hope before him that PROVIDENCE in mercy may grant us another year a good harvest and peace.

The Belgian Minister remains at the Castle on a visit. ODESSA.—The advices from Odessa reach to the 14th of October, and state that th e p o liti ca l uncerta i nty, coupled with the scarcity of shipping, had brought busi ness almost to a stand. Transactions in grain were con fined to parcels required for completing cargoes, and wheat was selling at all prices, from 335. 6d. down to 18s. per quarter. The rate of freight had again risen to 275. per quarter. Farmers, it was presumed, would sus pend their supplies as soon as the news of the existing state of affairs should be known in the interior. The steamer between Odessa and Constantinople had ceased running. A GRAND GAME OF CHESS.—It is said that:the En glish and French chess clubs, have made a novel match to be played shortly at the Hippodrome. A gigantic chess board will be marked out upon the turf. The castles will be carried on the backs of real elephants, and every other piece will be represented by an eques trian performer dressed in character. The kings and queens will be in gorgeous robes, the knights in full armour, and the bishops will represent the "true church militant." The Duchess of Kent arrived in town on Monday, and visited the Duchess of Gloucester at her residence, Gloucester House, Piccadilly. Her Royal Highness left town at three o'clock in the afternoon, for her resi dence, Frogmore. Chevalier Bunsen, the Prussian Minister, transacted business yesterday at the Foreign Office. The Lord Chancellor has appointed 11 o'clock on Wednesday next, at his lordship's residence, for the re ception of the Lord Mayor and the other authorities of the City of London, on which occasion the Lord Chan cellor will signify her Majesty's approval of the Lord Mayor elect. The Lord Chancellor will also on the same day, at 12 o'clock, receive the Judges, Queen's Counsel, &c., it being the first day of Michaelmas- Term. The Duke of Newcastle left town last night. Despatches were received from the Lord High Com missioner of the lonian Islands yesterday, at the Colo nial Office. ExTENSIVE ROBBERY.—Messrs. Train and Co. are large shipowners, engaged in the Liverpool and Boston trade in Liverpool. In June last year they had in their service, as freight collector, a young man of 21, .Tames St. Albin Quinn. Large sums of money passed through his hands, and, taking advantage of this, he decamped suddenly on the 30th of June, 1852, with about 1,3001. which he had received for freights from various mer chants in Liverpool, and for which he ought to have accounted to the cashier of Messrs. Train and Co. He first went to London, afterwards to the Continent, and then, returning to Liverpool, shipped in the Great Bri tain for Melbourne. On his arrival he set up as a gene ral merchant, and, according to his own account, suc ceeded in making about 5,000/. ; but his whereabouts having been ascertained, a warrant was obtained in Li verpool, which was sent out, and he was apprehended, and sent home in the Eagle, which arrived in Liverpool, from Melbourne, on Saturday. Yesterday he was brought before the magistrates at the Liverpool police ' court, charged with embezzlement, and, evidence having been given to prove that he had received sums of money from Frazer, Trenholme, and Co., Hollingshed and Tetley, Barber, G. Holt, and other firms, which he had not accounted for, he was committed for trial to the sessions. In only one case was he identified as the person to whom the money was paid, but in all his isig nature was reco gn i se d an d sworn t o b y M essrs . T ra i n ' s cashier. Quin n ' s l ega l a d v i ser, M r. Chilt on, d ec li ne d to say anythi ng his defence, remarking that he should ' reserve his observations for the trial. THE COURT.—Her Majesty and the Royal Family, we understand, according to present arrangements, intend to remain at Windsor Castle until the third week in the ensuing month, when the Court will remove to Osborne, Isle of Wight, until a day or two before Christmas, when they return to the Castle, when a few distinguished visitors, honoured with the privilege of the intimacy of Royalty, will probably receive invitations. The King of the Belgians, and his august relatives, will shortly take leave of her Majesty, and return to the Belgian capital. THE NEW RECORD REPOSITORY.—The new Record Repository is progressing towards completion. In the year ended the sth of January, 6,3001. was allowed for it out of the public money. CHlNA.—There was yesterday printed a Parliamentary document containing a correspondence with the superin tendent of British Trade in China on the subject of emigration from that country. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT (THIS DAY). OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Cresswell and Mr. Justice Williams.) The second edition of the calendar, published this morning, contains the names of 101 prisoners, being 12 more than appeared in the first edition. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 5,000 bales, of which 500 American were taken for export, and 500 Egyptian on specu lation. The market closed steady, without altera tion in prices. The sales comprised 3,500 Ameri can, 100 Pernam and Maranham, at 64d. to 7i d.; 700 Egyptian, at 61d. to 91d.; and 700 Surat, at 3d. to 41d. per lb. Railway Shares were firmer. In their report upon the dried fruit market, Messrs. Witherby and Hansom state : "The market has now continued in a dull and stagnant state for several weeks past, and the clearances for con sumption have consequently dwindled down to a mere trifle, those for the first 18 days of this month having been less than during the same period of last month, say 90 tons, against 1,050 tons in October, 1852, and 700 tons in October, 1851, during the corresponding days. The deliveries in bond during the three weeks ending 20th inst., were 140 tons, and they are still going on. The increase in the value of the article during six of the first eight months of this year, as compared with the prices of 1852, have been upwards of 100 per cent. A larger deficit might have bee n expecte d ; the result proves that even at high prices during spring and summer, cur rants were still used as a necessary ingredient in the diet of the people. A more abundant crop of apples than has been known in this country for many years past, has no doubt checked in part the consumption during the last two months. There seems to be no doubt whatever of the London clearances of raisins being this winter equal to those of former years, which have averaged during the last three months of each year 3,500 tons, exclusive of deliveries in bond. The official returns show an increase of 1,285 tons in the consump tion of the United Kingdom during the first eight months of this year. The characteristic of the fruit market generally is one of suspense, the circumstances of this opening season differing widely from those of any previous one. Some little time may still elapse before it adjusts itself. The great consuming period will this year commence later than usual." The Valetta steamer arrived at Marseilles at 8 o'clock this morning. She has on board 8 cases of the Australian mail. The pleasing intelligence reaches us by this opportunity that the 10,000 sovereigns dropped while being conveyed from the steamer Osmanli to the shore at Geelong had been recovered. The Lady Eveline, from California to Hong Kong, had been lost. There were 24 Chinese and 6 Europeans saved. The Argo steamer is expected to have left Mel bourne on the 24th August. The dates from Melbourne by the Overland Mail appear to be to the 2d of August. The telegraph advises the arrival of the Baltic steamer from New York. She has on board nearly a million of dollars. These we may assume to be the proceeds chiefly of the State Securities sent over for sale from Europe. A complete panic had arisen in the Stock Market. Several brokers had failed, and sundry commission houses had closed. Some of the State railroad bonds had gone down as much as 6 and 8 per cent. Government Stocks, however, had fallen only about 1 to 2 per cent. ; and it is evident that the Federal Six per Cent. Stock could not decline, when the Government is willing to redeem it at the rate of 122 and 123. Money matters were more stringent, and daily getting worse. This we must expect for a time, the intelligence taken out by the steamer Canada being of a nature to alarm the speculators and to make the banks exceedingly cautious. Flour ship ments, however, will help to discharge the in debtedness of the Americans. FORGERY. TVilliam Mason, described as a tailor, who pleaded guilty yesterday to a charge of uttering five bank notes of 51. each, was brought up for judgment. Mr. Clarkson thought It right to intimate on behalf of the prosecution, that there was reason to believe that the prisoner had for a long time been carrying on this practice of issuing forged notes. He was convicted with a gang of forgers in 1851, arid there could be no doubt that he was a most dangerous character. The prisoner said he very much regretted that he had ever fallen into the hands of bad associates, but affliction and necessity had forced him into their society, and driven him into crime. The Court sentenced the prisoner to be transported for twenty years. POST-OFFICE ROBBERY. George Clement, aged 34, a postman, was indicted for stealing a post letter, containing one half-sovereign, the property of her Majesty's Postmaster -General. The prisoner had been a letter sorter and carrier attached to the Charing-cross office, and on the 15th instant, while he was engaged in the duty of sorting, he was observed by one of the inspectors, first to examine, and then to pocket a small letter. He was afterwards taxed with the theft, but by some manoeuvring he managed to drop the letter from his person, and he then protested that he knew nothing whatever of the letter or its contents. The inspector, however, was so positive in his statement that he saw the pri soner both open and drop the letter that he was at once given into custody on the present charge. The letter upon being opened, was found to contain half-a sovereign, let into the centre of a card, and it was ad dressed to a person in Westminster. Upon inquiry be ing instituted, it turned out that it had been posted at Walworth, and so found its way to Charing-cross in the due course of business. The jury found the prisoner guilty, but the court de. ['erred passing sentence. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) THE SENTENCE UPON HENRY HAMILTON, THE SURGEON. This morning, upon his Lord,hip taking his seat in this court, .Henry Scott, alias Hamilton, the surgeon who was convicted on Monday of an indecent assault upon a young woman named Brown, was brought up for sentence. Mr. Parry, who appeared for the prosecution, said that at present he had not the advertisement which had been issued by the defendant, but he understood that he was not a regular surgeon. Mr. Ballantine said that he was instructed to say that his client had practised and walked the hospitals in 1847. Mr. Parry said the advertisement set forth that the defendant was a member of the Royal College of Sur geons, and that his name was Hamilton, when, in fact, it was not, and the advertisement was one calculated to deceive the unwary, and most especially women whose diseases of a peculiar nature he professed to cure. After some discussion, Mr. Ballantine called several witnesses of the highest respectability, amongst whom were four ladies, who gave the defendant a high character for morality and decency, be having been upon visiting terms with their families. In cross-examination by Mr. Parry, they all admitted that they were not aware of defendant being an advertising surgeon. The prisoner then entered into a long statement, denying that there was anything in the advertisement of an improper character, and explained that the reason of his advertising in the name of Hamilton, was that he had been for many years the partner of Mr. Hamilton, who had left the business, and he continued the name. He had studied the profession of medicine for years, and bad been duly entered as student in the hospital, but had not kept up his course of studies sufficiently long to entitle him to receive his diploma. The Recorder, in passing sentence, said that, notwith standing the improbabilities surrounding the story told by the prosecutrix, he felt bound to say that the jury had come to a very proper conclusion. The case was one of a very aggravated character, and he should sen tence the prisoner to twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour. LATEST FOREIGN NEWS. FRANCE. A telegraphic message received by the French Government yesterday confirms the news already received as to the passage of the Dardanelles by the combined fleets of England and France, on the 14th. M. de la Cour, the French Ambassador at Con stantinople, is to be, if he has not already been, recalled from his post. For some time past mur murs or complaints have been heard in official quarters respecting the manner in which French interests have lately been represented at Constan tinople, and which were felt all the more under such circumstances as the present. It appears that the stag-hunt at Compiegne, in which Madame Amedee Thayer, wife of the senator, had her leg broken, was very nearly occasioning more numerous and graver accidents. The stag rushed into a stable, and there kept the dogs at bay. In so doing he almost touched the horses of the Emperor and Empress. As it was, the horses were greatly frightened, and were with difficulty restrained. M. Edgar Ney, in his quality of grand huntsman, rushed on the stag, hunting-knife in hand, and killed him. Prince Jerome is not yet entirely recovered ; the state of his health does not inspire uneasiness, although it requires much care. His Imperial Highness had a relapse, but is again getting better ; he left his bed on Monday, and transacted business with several persons of his household. At three o'clock the bulletin of his health was satisfactory. The Union, mentions a rumour that not fewer than 15,000 copies of Ledru Rollin's pamphlet were seized in the recent domiciliary visits. The Bourse, which opened firmly yesterday, be came feeble towards the conclusion .of business, and the Three per Cents., which were fi rs t ca ll e d at 72f. 85c., c l ose d a t 72f. 40c. for the end of the month.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY. The following has been received by Submarine Telegraph, via the Hague, from Trieste, Oct. 25, five p.m. The Lloyd steamer has arrived from Constanti nople, with news to the 17th of October. Prince Gortschakoff's reply had arrived. General Prim is said to have obtained a command. The united fleets are advancing towards Gal lipoli. The exportation of corn is forbidden by procla mation at Constantinople. From Smyrna, Oct. 19, we learn that Janni Katergi has been arrested. Koszta has left for Boston. M. de Castelbajac, the son of the French am bassador at St. Petersburg, arrived in Paris on Monday from the capital, the bearer of important dispatches. They consist of the last note of the Russian Cabinet on the subject of the declaration of war, in which the Emperor declares that he can• not but repel the hoslilities of Turkey. The Czar adds, for the benefit of the few weak-minded per sons who still persist in believing in his moderation and justice, " that he is still determined, in any case, not to do anything that can in any way in terfere with the integrity of the Ottoman empire." Dispatches were received in Paris yesterday, dated Vienna, the 24th, which bring accounts from Constantinople of the 15th. At that date, although the combined fleets had not arrived before Constan tinople, they were daily expected, and the Govern ment was actively preparing for hostilities. The answer of Prince Gortschakoff was looked upon by the Divan as a decided refusal on the part of Russia to evacuate the principalities, and orders had been sent to Omer Pacha to commence active hostilities forthwith. The dispatch adds that the Turks had passed the Danube ; but it is unnecessary to say that that assertion, to use a French phrase, " merits confirmation." It is curious, however, that the same news should arrive from both sides at one and the same time ; and it renders it ex tremely probable that Omer Pacha will not delay advancing on the enemy. The German papers state that Omer Pacha has not only commenced hostilities, but that he has actually crossed the Danube at Oltemiza, and beaten the Russians. The last telegraphic message from Constantinople is dated the 17th October. Namik Pacha was then about to start immediately for Paris and London, as Extraordinary Commissioner, to contract a loan for 4,000,0001. sterling. The armaments were being zealously continued. The National Gazette of Berlin states that the Czar has given an assurance to Prussia and Austria that lie has no intention whatever to interfere in the internal affairs of Turkey, and that though lie is ready to wage war, he is, however, disposed to enter into an arrangement. When the four principal English merchants of St. Petersburg attended, according to request, the hotel of the Minister of Finance on the 15th inst., the following communication was made to them by that functionary : " Gentlemen —His Majesty havi ng l earne d b y t h e Eng lish journals that grave disquietudes existed relative to the persons and property of English subjects whether in Russia or in the Baltic, should war break out, has charged me to inform you that whatever may happen, the persons and property of English subjects, on sea and land, shall be fully respected. I may add, that strong hopes are entertained that peace will be maintained. At all events, the conviction prevails that war will not break out between Russia and England, whatever may be the course of events in the East." The Turkish government has officially recognised Schamyl and the other chiefs of the Circassian in surrection. It has given them titles correspond ing to their grades, and is sending them arms and ammunition. The Trieste Gazette gives the following from Constantinople, 12th :—Within the last few days a new effort has been made on the part of Austria in favour of a pacific solution. On Wednesday last a courier arrived from Vienna with conciliatory pro positions, but he came too late, for the declaration of war had already been sent off to Omer Paella and read in all the mosques. Thenew proposition sent by the Conference of Vienna appeared to the Divan to be in manifest contradiction with the Note of Count de Nesselrode, which sets forth the motives why Russia has not accepted the modifica tions of the Porte. The new Greek Patriarch, Mgr. Anthimos, immediately after his nomination, went in great pomp to the Imperial Palace to pay his respectful homage to the Sultan, who received him very graciously, and assured him that the government would always maintain the liberties and franchises granted to the Christian populations, but added that he expected that the newly-elected Patriarch would on his side exert all his efforts to respond to the magnanimous sentiments of his So vereign. Mgr. Anthimos afterwards received the investiture from Reschid Pacha. A letter from Bucharest, of the 12th, says : " We are expecting to hear every day that hostili ties have commenced. Prince Stirbey is still here, but the rumour runs that he will before long take his departure. The Minister of the Interior has officially given notice to all persons holding forage and other stores not to sell them too dear, as should they do so, the Russians would not pay ready money but give bills, and that for only part of th e price. The Russians are constructing round thi s place winter quarters in the ground (bordeij), con sisting of square excavations covered o ver w i th small twigs and thatch, and having two openin gs above, one to admit light and Jet out the smoke, and the other to serve as an entrance. I n t h e an cient times the Wallachian peasants lived in such holes, but not for a century past." The sanitary accounts received f rom Wallachia and Moldavia are not satisfactory. The Govern ment has sent Dr. Ley, Director of the Quarantine, to the spot to collect information. I t i s certain ' that Asiatic cholera has broken out at Jassy and the neighbourhood, and has already made numer ous victims. The cattle which have been sent for the supply of the Russian army have been attacked with disease, and all along th e road may be seen trenches into which the bodies of the dead animals have been thrown. The A us t r i an Government has, period of the qua in consequence, increased th e rantine. ITALY. The Voce della Libertci, the organ of democracy at Turin, having given an unfaithful account of the late riot there, with a view to extenuate the outrages committed, the Piedmontese Gazette gives a positive denial to its assertions, particularly to that relating to the assault upon Count Cavour's palace, which the Voce stated was found open, and not broken open ; whereas the official journal de clares that the palace had been closed by the ser vants at the very beginning of the tumult, but that the rioters shook the gate violently and broke the inner bolts, thus effecting a forcible entrance It futher denies that there were carabineers con cealed in the palace as the Voce pretends, as also that the eriuiforcee r a e l d l . ed out was more imposing than necessity required. The Voce della Liberta and the Campana, both Turin papers, were seized on the 19th for certain articles on the late riot.

The objects of this institu tion are to afford relief and grant pensions to aged and decayed members of the building trade. The chair was filled by Peter Rolt, Esq., M.P. for Greenwich. Among the gentlemen present we observed Mr. J. Higgs, Mr. G. Spencer, Mr. Jay, Mr. Jelf, Mr. Myers, Mr. Sewell, Mr. Bond, Mr. Dunning, Mr. Tyerman, Mr. Potter, Mr. Forrest, Mr. Peters, Mr. Smith, Mr. Newsom, and several other gentlemen largely connected with the building trade. There were also present gentlemen as representatives from the establishments of Mr. Peto, Mr. Jackson, Mr. Cubitt, Mr. Grissell, Mr. Locke, and Mr. Todd. Grace having been sung and the cloth removed, The CHAIRMAN rose and said he needed not to preface the toast he was about to give in a company like the present. He would therefore give them "The Queen." The toast was drunk amid loud applause. The other loyal and constitutional toasts having been given and responded to, The CHAIRMAN rose to propose the toast of the even ing—" Prosperity to the Builders' Benevolent Institu tion ;" and in doing so stated that he should make no apology for claiming their attention for a short period, because the object for which they were all assembled was to endeavour to enlarge the funds of the Builders' Benevolent Institution. They had met that even ing in that noble hall to celebrate the sixth anniversary of this excellent institution—an institution well deserving the utmost support. Every gentleman present must be aware of the many noble charities that adorned this great and wealthy land ; indeed, there was not a country in the world so renowned for the many glorious charities which shed a lustre on the name of England. Among those charities and benevolent insti tutions there was none that deserved more highly the cordial support of every gentleman than the one for which he had the honour of appealing. He would not dilate at length upon the benefits conferred by this in stitution, because they were well and honourably known to all present ; but he might be permitted to state that there were at the present time 22 male and female reci pients of their bounty. That was not a smaller number, considering that their institution had only been in existence six years, and he therefore called upon them to most strenuously support the directors in their praiseworthy endeavours to augment the numbers that now had the happiness to receive its bountiful assistance. He need not to remind those now in affluence, that they might, by accident or disease, be brought, like those for whom he was now appealing, to need the assistance of of an institution like this, and all who now subscribed would be amply repaid by the knowledge that they were conferring support and shelter upon those who, unfor tunately, were, through no fault of their own, unable to help themselves. He would not detain them any longer, for there were others far more able than himself to set before them the benefits and blessings of this institution. But of this he was sure, .that none could wish to see the means of this charity more, much more extended, than himself. The hon. gentleman concluded a very eloquent speech by making a most energetic appeal on behalf of the funds of the institution, and resumed his seat amid loud cheers, by proposing " Prosperity to the Builders' Benevolent Institution." The toast was drunk amid great enthusiasm. The SECRETARY then read the list of subscriptions, among which were the names of the Chairman for 50 guineas; Mr. Cubitt, M.P., 10 guineas ; Mr. Gurney, 10 guineas ; Mr. H. Lee, 211., and a great many others for like amounts. The aggregate amount of the sub scriptions was 5001. The CEIAMIAN then gave the health of Mr. G. Bird, treasurer of the institution, and in doing so passed a high eulogium upon that gentleman for the noble exer tions he had made on behalf of the interests of the in stitution. Mr. BIRD responded in a neat speech, and stated that if sufficient funds were placed at the disposal of the directors, they would have the happiness to elect the . _ whole of the unsuccessful candidates at the last election to participate in the benefits of this noble institution before Christmas. A number of other toasts followed, among which were "The President," "The Patrons of the Institu- , tion," "The Press," &c., all of which were most ably responded to. The musical arrangements were admirable. The vocalists consisted of Mr. Allen, Mr. Day, Mr. Distin, Miss Rose, and Mrs. Distin. It is nearly superfluous ;o remark that the dinner was served in a style that re- fle9ted the utmost credit on the proprietors of the Lon don Tavern. We must also compliment Mr. Higgs, who officiated as toastmaster in capital style. societies of working men of the kingdom of Sar dinia, now sitting at Asti for the discussion of matters relating to t ra d e , on hearing of the dis turbance of the 18th at Turin, immediately met, and passed a resolution strongly condemning such proceedings. The Parma Gazette, of the 18th, announces the arrival of the Duke of Parma in his capital, with Baron 'Ward, his Minister, from Vienna. The Duchess, with her children, is daily expected from Brunsee, in Styria. SPAIN. The Madrid Ga:ette of the 20th contains a royal decree whi c h ' enacts th a t th e S pan i s h a uthorities shall no longer retain the passports of foreigners delivered by the legations and consulates o f their country.
