LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 13, 1853. If ever there was an anti-climax, it was this little mouse of a proposal from the Four Powers to the Cabinet of St. Petersburg—coming forth from a parturient mountain of negotiations ! If ever a non-sequitur of a character more than usu- ally melancholy was witnessed, it is visible in the paltry pacification following aup the pride of our Naval Review at SiAhead, and the pomp, and fuss, and parade of the Chobham Encampment 1 It was wittily said of a recent monetary scheme suggested by the present Right Hon. the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer, that never, perhaps, was there before constructed a more elaborate piece of machinery for doing nothing. In a similar way it may be averred with some confidence, that never, perhaps—prior to this final arrangement with the AUTOCRAT in regard to the Greek Chris tians thoughout the Turkish dominion—has the world seen so miserable a consequence emerge from such pretentious diplomatic negotiations. The Sultan ABD-UL-MEDJID is peremptorily re quired by the Envoy of the Emperor NICHOLAS to make certain concessions, involving the indepen dence of his empire, the inalienable rights of his people, and the most cherished attributes of his sovereignty! This demand is - nothing less than a flag rant infraction of the international laws of Europe, subversive—if once tolerated—of the balance of power in Christendom. It is an infraction so flagrant that the Sublime Porte, almost without asking it, obtains the cordial support (nominally, at least, so it now appears) of the principal States of the eastern hemisphere. The injustice at- tempted to be' accomplished by Russia towards Turkey is, in fact, one of so monstrous and mani- fest a description that the CZAR is suddenly con fronted, as it were, on the instant by Four Powers openly announcing their determination to prevent, at all hazard, this obvious degradation of the Divan and virtual seizure of Constantinople. Such is the intimation simultaneously given to the Russian EMPKROR on the part of the English, the French, the Austrian, and the Prussian Go vernments. He is assured that their hearty al- Hance in reference to the maintenance of the integrity of Turkey is the result of the extraor dinary mission entrusted to his Ambassador MENSIMIKOFF. Their remonstrances only bed Dome more resolute in tone immediately intelL ligenoe is received of the movement across the Pruth of the Russian 'troops under the command of GORTSCHAKOFF. Although to a considerable extent the veil of diplomatic mystery is still drawn over the somewhat elaborated nego tiations, enough is implied to lead the more cre dulous beholders to conjecture that the formidable allies of Turkey are inflexible in their resolve to subdue the arrogance of the CZAR, by their un yielding determination, and to celebrate the triumph of right over might, by causing the instant surrender by the Russian troops of the two invaded Principalities. Meanwhile the more curious are denied anything at all approaching to an explanation. The public is coolly recom mended to await the issue with a patient reliance upon the wisdom of the popular administrators. Nothing is elicited from the statesmen who are necessarily in the secret, beyond the laconic reminder that the country will learn all in good 1 : 1111 . e, and that meanwhile it is indiscreet to insist upon what at the best must prove to be only premature revelations. It is in this manner the negotiations are protracted—official couriers has tening perpetually between London ' Paris, Berlin, Vienna, St. Petersburg, and Constantin ople. If the faintest inklingis obtained of what is really going forward, it is solely owing to the dignified candour of the imperial Cabinet of the Tuileries. M. DROUYN DE L 'H u y s, theonce o r twice, for an instant breaks throug h flimsy webwork of politicg etiquette, but the E arl of CLARENDON pursues to the last moment an unbroken taci turnity.r from received mos All this while the neNv kind the almost unexampled East continues to be of a toting imaginable. The patriotic ardour of the Turks is known to have risen to a pitch of hn une xampled enthusiasm. Insults are notori ous l y mu ltiplying in the scene of contention—insult s wantonly offered by the Councils of the CZAR to those of the SULTAN at Constantinople. Th e Hospodar of Moldavia is forbidden by Russia to send further tribute to ABD-UL-MJID as his li e ge Suzerain. Nothing is left und ED one, in fact, by the ATITOCRAT, which can most clearly indi cate his disregard to the force of treaties, his con tempt for all the laws of honour, and his utter disdain for the most elementary principles of international . jurisprudence. Throughout all which intolerable proceedings on his part, he dedicates his energies to the forwarding of every species of warlike preparation.He appoints his favourite son, the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE, Admiral of the Russian Fleet in the Black Sea, seeing closely to the increase and efficiency of the maritime a rmamen ts at Sebastopol. He quar ters the ad.vance-guard of his colossal army on the Moldavian and Wallachian provinces, preparing his soldiers by the passage of the Pruth for the passage of the Danube and the storming of the various passes along the line of the Balkan Moun tains. Information of all these particulars arriv ing in this country revives , as a matter of course, the anxiety of th ose who are ei ioagner to witness the triumph over lawless ambition of fofT atrhkeishsa inde pendence. i n t e rests involved in th e eat Additional inquiries are consequently address ed of to the Ministers of the Crow n in bot h Houses the English Parliament. Nevertheless the Cabi net still continues obdurate. There i s „ till a delay of the appearance of the long.. desired explanation. The nation is told once more that it must wait quietly until it shall suit the convenience of the Coalition to reveal THE SUN, LONDON. SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 13, 1853_ MONEY MARKET IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. LATEST FOREIGN N AND CITY INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. HOUSE OF COMMONS-(THIS DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at a few minutes after 12 o'clock. With the exception of a short article in the Pays, on CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. the probable results of the harvest, and the measures adopted by the Government to prevent a rise in the price of corn, we find nothing in the original columns of the Paris journals of sufficient interest for extract. The sales- of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 7,000 bales, of which 1,500 Ame rican were taken for export and on speculation. The market was quiet at previous rates. Railway shares were quiet, but steady. The following is an account of the stocks of sugar and coffee at some of the chief markets of Europe on the Ist inst. : The report upon Baron Vivian's Estate Bill was con sidered, and agreed to, and the bill was ordered to be read a third time. SETTLERS IN CANADA. Prince Napoleon gave a grand dinner on Thursday- at the Palais Royal to the artists decorated this year in consequence of the merits of their works at the late ex hibition. The Minister of State and the President of the Legislative Corps were present ; as were M. 1114ri m6e, Senator; M. Fr6my, Councillor of State ; Colonel Fleury, First Equerry to the. Emperor ; the Prefect of the Seine ; Merruan, Secretary at the Prefecture of the Seine ; M. Arago, Inspector of the Beaux Arts, &c. A rumour was current yesterday of the probability of a reduction in the French army to the extent of from 35,000 to 40,000 men. On the motion for the third reading of the Consoli dated Fund (Appropriation) Bill, Lord D. STUART presented a petition from certain settlers in Canada, complaining of having been ejected from their lands and praying for enquiry, and called the attention of the house to the grievances of the petitioners. He expressed a hope that the Government would deem it right to institute some investigation into the matter, and asked whether they would have any objection to lay the correspondence between the Colonial-office and the Governor-General of Canada and Mr. Cheshire relating to the complaints of these persons on the table. Mr. F. PEEL said the views entertained by the noble lord were not borne out by the merits of the case. It was one in which neither the Colonial-office nor the House of Commons could be properly called upon to interfere. The case belonged entirely to the local autho rities of Canada, and had been dealt with and disposed of by them. The lands in question were granted to the Indians as a reward for their fidehty during the Ameri can war. They were of considerable value, and became a natural object of desire to new comers, and many emi grants settled upon them ; but various acts were passed by the Colonial Legislature asserting the right of the Indians, and therefore it was impossible for these squat ters to justly claim their possession. He had no objec tion to produce the correspondence, but he did not think any thing could be gained by reopening the question. Mr. BROTHERTON said as many of these persons had expended a considerable sum of money in improve ments on the land, he hoped the Government would endeavour to redress their grievances. Mr. M. CHAMBERS was glad the Government en tertained a right feeling towards the Indians. He thought the house would usurp the province which belonged to it, if it allowed the Government to inter fere in this case, except to give compensation to all par ties, to which he had no objection. It was quite clear that the petitioners had no right to the lands. The subject then dropped. CONSOLIDATED FUND (APPROPRIATION) SUGAR 1853. 1852. Tons. Tons.

They returned by the Boule vards at half-past 5 o'clock, followad by two other open carriages, in one of which were the Duke and Duchess of Alba. They traversed the wholeline of the Boulevards at the slowest possible walking pace. They were com pletely unattended . by anything in the shape of an escort, and nad only two or three servants in undress livery as outriders. They proceeded along the Champs Elysees, and appeared to examine with much attention the pre parations actively going on there for the fetes of the 15th. 149,977 178,095 73,038 79,274 From the increased demand which last week prevailed for cash, it was to be expected that the amount in the Bank of England coffers would fall off, and this it did to some extent, according to the return made up to the 6th inst. The discounts were also larger, and there was a withdrawal of private balances. The item of Government Secu rities being largely reduced, it is concluded that the Bank was a seller of Exchequer Bills, or that it received repayment of loans thereon ; perhaps those made to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, compared with the previous week, the changes are as follows : The Minister of Marine has granted gold and silver medals of the first and second class to several individuals in the Imperial navy who had distinguished themselves by saving shipwrecked passengers. A sum of 1,586 f. has been sent to the Minister of Finance to be paid into the Treasury. A note without a signature, sent with the money, explains that the money is sent by order of a person lately deceased as restitution. Active circulation. Increase ....

Consols 9B f, Ditto September Account 9B A the nature of the policy pursued by the Four Powers in the conduct of these negotiations. At length, when disposed almost to despair of any settlement whatsoever—good, bad, or• indifferent —the country hears suddenly that the CZAR has accepted from the Four Powers their conjointly arrangedu/timatissimum. Not a syllable is said even then about the precise nature of the proposal acceded to by the AUTOCRAT : but in the midst of all the darkness, and the secrecy, and the doubt of these most mysterious proceedings, we hear them spoken of as matter of general con gratulation. Hardly, however, have Englishmen found themselves felicitated upon the acceptance of the ultimatissimunt by the Russian Government, when they discover that that document insures to the CZAR more concessions from Turkey to the Greek Chriitians throughout the SULTAN'S do minions than even he (NICHOLAS) had, in his most authoritative mood, demanded. And for the acceptance of these enormous concessions by Russia—England, and France, and Austria, and Prussia are to be congratulated ! We have noticed the merits of Mrs. CHISHOLM before ; but we advert, with no ordinary pleasure, to the more efficient public honour done to them at the London Tavern last Tuesday. The meet ing wa s convened to mark the respect and gra titude of her friends, " for her long, arduous, a nd successful efforts in improving the condition o f em igrants to the British colonies, and especially i n promoting the reunion of families ; and to pre sent her with a testimonial previous to her de parture for Australia." Towards the testimonial itself 8001. was subscribed at the meeting—a sum which we trust will be multiplied many times. Well, indeed, does Mrs. CHISHOLM deserve an acknowledgment from the public purse both of this country and of Australia. We could not, however, wish the charm of her spontaneous exertions to be broken by any reward not per fectly spontaneous in its character also. The in cidents of the meeting were of a very pleasing kind. The Chairman, the Right Hon. VERNON SMITH, M.P., bore testimony to the surprising energy of Mrs. CHISHOLM, having experienced its effects against him politically in his first con- test for the Borough of Northampton, and i having then occurred to him that she would be a most valuable advocate of any cause which she undertook. He adverted also, as did other speakers, in a somewhat apologetic style, to the fact of her being a Catholic, and to the suspicion hence engendered in some minds that she would use her vast influence over untutored minds for purposes of proselytism. Much pains was taken to satisfy the meeting on this point. The Chair man thought the very best answer was, that the Earl of SHAFTESBURY belonged to the Society of which the Lady forms almost the entire executive, Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT called in as evidence for her the Rev. J. C. MILLER, of the Rectory, Bir- mingham, who, though at first prejudiced against her, had watched her course nar rowly, and was so satisfied that she had only philanthropic objects in view, that he cordially joined in the testimonial. Sir J. L. GOLDSMID stated that the Jews had so much con- fidence in her, that they intended to send out a number of Jewish women under her care to Australia. It was wise, no doubt, to allay any ungenerous prejudice which might have arisen. _ . We, however, feel rather inclined to reverse the process, and to congratulate Protestants as well „ as Catholics on Mrs. CAROLINE CHISHOLM'S, belonging to the latter. We have had one Mrs. CAROLINE FRY, belonging to the most ultra sect of Protestants, to conciliate the good-will of Roman Catholics by an exhibition of the highest philanthropy in their most uncompromising reli gious opponents ; and they now present us with a like noble specimen of Christian benevolence in connection with the creed associated in our his torical recollections, chiefly with the burnings of Smithfield and the Inquisition. What Mrs. FRy,ithe Quakeress, was in prisons, Mrs. CnisHoot, the Catholic, is in the emigrant ship and the colony. We think that common generosity must assume of such women as these that their philanthropy is perfectly above secta rianism. We could as easily imagine Mrs. FRY pleading with the convicts to adopt the broad-brim and the close bonnet, when their term was out, as Mrs. CHISHOLM urging upon them the crucifix and the rosary. Until a case was well substantiated, we should refuse to harbour the remotest suspicion that the nobler few of our race would " give to a sect what was meant for mankind ; and we hold this readiness to suspect energetic philanthropists, like Father MATHEW or Mrs. CHISHOLM, of secta rian objects, to be indubitable evidence of the narrow-mindeaness and sectarianism of the sus pecting party. We have had so much to do of late with MACHALES and CULLENS, with furious electioneering priests, and subtle cardinals, that we really feel the greatest pleasure in the fact that, in Mrs. CHISHOLM, Catholicism presents us with a representative whose efforts and conduct had gained universal admiration before her creed became generally known. One living saint is worth a thousand dead ones for evoking kindly sentiments towards the faith they honour ; and we doubt not that the disinterested and successful labours of Mrs. CHISHOLM will avail much in generating a more tolerant feeling towards her fellow Catholics, and that, too, in the minds of those who retain all these objections to Popery itself. It is pleasing after all to observe how real practical religion, the religion which acts out the benevolence of the Gospel, instead of contending about points of doctrine, invariably in the long run obtains the respect it deserves. Sceptical and utilitarian, as it is the fashion to term this age, no sooner does any individual, or any society, show a zeal unquestionably Christian and benevo lent, combined with practical measures adapted to the proposed object, than merit is at once acknow ledged and aid is promptly rendered. The saner part of society, whom Mrs. JELLYBY reviles as worldly and selfish, are only guilty of having sense to distinguish between her and Mrs. CHIS HOLM ; between Borriobola Gha and a Ragged School at their own doors, or an emigrant ship conveying their poorer neighbours acrogs half the world. Mrs. CHISHOLM's half-romantic, yet thoroughly business-like, exploits and labours, are knoWn to all our readers. She has perfectly gained the good-will of the rough untutored class she has had to do with, and would be thoroughly safe amongst a population of liberated convicts when her name was known. She has found wives for numbers of the men, and husbands for the women, under every disadvantage, and with wonderful general success. Her presence has been the precursor of good orde r an d mora lit y w h erever she has appeared amon g them. Separated families have been re united in safety and comfort, by her arrangements, arrang e ments which, individually, very few of them could have made ; and certainly the ladies, who, in this land, where the Christian law of mar riage is r es p ected, much indebt e d t 0 her, since s h e h as female emigration a re 500,000 too many, are feasibility an d respec t a bility given to be said t o have commenced a ' unli s n h o e m m la b ay e , f i o n r. d e eed, new era in the managem en t of emigrant ships. Mr. LINDSAY, and other respectable shipowners, have thoroughly adopted her vi • ews ; and the spirit she has diffused has pro ve d a far more p l i tent Reformer tha n Government r egulations. l'i ' I ought, indeed, to be re g arded as a special favour I of PROVIDENCE that, at a time when marine emi gration has become so en ormous, and is li kely to such an Emigrant Ship Reformer continue so large, as Mrs. CHISHOLM should appear upon the stage. 1 . By , example, by kindne ss, and by energy, she has c oercive measures initiated a reform which no could have achieved, and which will advance I rather than recede. THE EAST INDIA COMPANY'S MUSEUM.—The follow ing articles have been sent to this country from India for the East India Company's Museum a weapon traditionally designated the sword of Roostran, a remark able blade of great antiquity covered with inscriptions ; aid the golden chair in which the Burra Maharaja held his state. These articles have been sent to this cou ntr y a theGovernor-General of India for the purpos e of b 3in Hou's placed in the company's m u se um at the East India BILL. This bill passed through committee, and was ordered to be ready a third time on Monday. PASSENGERS' ACT AMENDMENT BILL. The house went into committee upon this bill. In reply to Sir H. WILLOUGHBY, Mr. F. PEEL said the object of the bill was to cor rect certain anomalies in the present law, and to facili tate the emigration of Chinese labourers to the West Indies. The house then resumed, and the bill was ordered, to be read a third time on Monday. REDEMPTION OF THE LAND TAX. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER asked for leave to bring in a bill further to amend the law with respect to the redemption of land tax ; and moved the said bill through its several stages. The right hon. gen tleman explained that the object of it was to supply some deficiences in the bill which had already passed both houses. It enacted that the redemption under the for mer bill should, in the first instance, be confined to par ties having an interest in the land, and not only so, but that when effected by them the tax should merge and cease, as if, in fact, it had had no existence at all. The motion was agreed to, and the bill was then brought in and passed through its several stages, and was passed. DRAINAGE WORKS ON THE SHANNON. On the motion of Col. DUNNE a return was ordered of a copy of a memorial presented by the inhabitants of the town of Banagher, in Ireland, and its vicinity, to the Lord Lieutenant, complaining of the injury they sustained from the effects of the drainage works on the Shannon at Meelick. HIGHWAYS IN IRELAND. Leave was given to Mr. MMAHON to bring in a bill to consolidate and amend the laws relating to highways in Ireland. The bill was subsequently brought in and read a firs time. Lord PALMERSTON presented a petition from Sheffield in favour of the opening of the Crystal Palace on Sundays. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. Mr. WILSON moved that the house do adjourn until one o'clock on Monday, and that the sitting be continued during the day, and without adjournment at four o'clock.—Agreed to. VACANCY FOR DUNGARVON. In reply to Mr. F. FRENCH, Mr. BERKELEY said he believed that Mr. Maguire had not yet accepted the Chiltren Hundreds, in order to create a vacancy for Dungarvon, and until he did a new writ could not be issued. The house adjourned shortly after two o'clock until Monday. AUSTRALIA. (BY ELECTRIC TBLEGBAPII.) PLYMOUTH, SATURDAY. The ship Washington Irving, Captain John Jones, is off the port, and has landed passengers. She has a complete cargo of wool, tallow, and hides, from Moreton Bay, and 15,000 ounces of gold from Sydney, which she left on the 27th April, five days after the Woolloomoo loo. The Tamar, with some gold, left Sydney on the 22d of April ; the Cambodia, without gold, on the 24th ; the Regina was to sail in three days ; the Alberton in a fortnight, and the Oriental in three weeks. The steam ship Cleopatra was at Sydney. Her proprietors then proposed to send her one more trip to Port Philip, pre paratory to ber final departure from Sydney on the 28th July for England, by Cape Horn, touching at New Zealand and the South• Sea Islands. The last news of the Adelaide steamer was when she was at the Cape of Good Hope, outward. The Agricola was loading at Moreton Bay on the 12th of April. The Washington Irving, excepting three, retains all her original crew, who get double pay home. The extra hands have 61. per month. She ran from Sydney. to, Cape Horn in 331 days, having rounded the Cape on the 30th May ; spoke, the sth August, the ship Kent, 130 days from Bombay, for Liverpool ; 6th August, the Yankee Blade, 14 days from Liverpool, and the barque Essex, nine days from Plymouth ; and on the 9th, the barque Abigail, outward bound. SOUTH AMERICAN MAILS (BY ELECTRIC) TELEGRAPH.) SOUTHAMPTON, AUG. 13. The Royal Mail steam-ship Severn, Captain Strutt, arrived off this port at midnight, with the Brazil and Rio la Plata mails. The mails were immediately landed and dispatched to London, but some delay in the files of journals and papers took place, arising from the refusal to permit any personal communication with the vessel till pratique was granted. The dates brought by , the Severn are Buenos Ayres, July 2d ; Monte Video, sth ; Rio de Janeiro, 15th ; Bahia, 19th ; Pernambuco, 22d ; St. Vincent, 29th ; Teneriffe, Aug. 3d ; Madeira, sth ; Lisbon, Bth. The Severn brings 93 passengers, and on freight, diamonds value 35,0001. sterling. Accounts from Buenos Ayres announce the raising of the blockade of that city on the 20th of June, by the squadron of vessels employed by Urquisa going over to the Provisional Government. The prospects of the Government were considered to be much improved, and it was not thought likely that Urquisa could much longer carry on the war. General Pints, President of the Chamber of Repre sentatives and Provisional Government of Buenos Ayres, died on the 28th of June, and would be succeeded by Don Nicolas Ancharena. ----- Doubloons had declined to 330. Buenos Ayres was very dull. The money market at Rio de Janeiro was very much relieved of its late pressure, and capital was appearing more abundantly. The Government had proposed to the Banks to incor porate both establishments in the proposed National Bank, and the shareholders of the Brazil Bank had already empowered their directors to treat with the Go vernment about the conditions of the amalgamation. Exchange had gradually declined to 28g. The tran sactions were estimated at 310,000 on London. Coffee had declined. The arrivals of the new crop continue to be uncommonly small. The estimated yield was 1,200,000 bags. Freights had declined, in consequence of the high price and limited quantity of produce. In Pernambuco business was very quiet, the money market being light. The market for imports was limited. The sugar crop had been brought to a conclusion, the yield being 63,200 tons. The next crop will not be a large one in cotton ; there had been some animation. Exchange on London was quoted at 28k, business having been done at 28k. Discounts, one per cent. per month. Freights nominal, with little doing. From Lisbon we learn that the grape and olive disease continues to spread in Portugal. The Cortes were to close on the 13th inst. FATAL OCCURRENCE AT PORTSMOUTH.—On Thursday night an accident occurred at the George Hotel, Ports mouth, shortly before the return of the Dn.& of the Admiralty from witnessing the great national demonstra tion at Spithead. The head waiter of the hotel, William White, who has held that situation Jar 25 years, was standing in the passage when a loud report of fire arms was heard, and the poor fellow fell dead to the ground. On being picked up it was discovered that he had re ceived the contents of a loaded gun in his belly, and the same discharge had also wounded in the face a servant of Sir Fitzroy Kelly, who was passing the lobby at the ry o f t u h g e a barrels gun ca b s e e in c g o l n o tin e i d ng an a d do ca u p b p le e - d b , ar a r n e d lle b d y g s u t n rik o in n g e time. The accident was occasioned by a gentleman car the case against the coffee-room door-post, it bad caused the discharge of the gun. COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, AUG. 12. Her Majesty returned to Osborne last night at a quarter past eight o'clock, after the naval review. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Wurtem berg, attended by Baron de Berlichingen and Lord Charles Fitzroy, joined her Majesty yesterday from Lon don on board the Victoria and Albert, and returned to London in the evening. The Duke of Cambridge also returned to London after witnessing the review. Her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess Catherine, attended by her lady in waiting and M. de Chroustchuff, also joined her Majesty in the Victoria and Albert yes terday, and returned to Ryde about seven o'clock. Sir James Graham and the Board of Admiralty were also present in the royal yacht, during the manoeuvres. Sir James Graham has left Osborne ; and Sir James Clark left for London this afternoon. SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE iiiADIAIS.-WO have much pleasure in stating that there is now in private hands the sum of 4501., collected for the Madiais by private friends. The Protestant Alliance has collected about 3001. more. But though the sum of 7501. is very consi derable, and proves the efforts which have been made on behalf of these worthy people, we do hope that the en deavours of the Alliance, to increase the amount to 1,0001., so as to make them comfortable, will be crowned with success.—Advertiser. A COUNTY POLICE.—A Parliamentary blue-book has just been printed, containing a report and the evidence given before a select committee of the House of Com mons. The establishment of a county police throughout Great Britain is urged upon the Government. SMITHFIELD NEW MARKET, COPENHAGEN-FIELDS.— The City authorities have taken possession of this long favoured spot for gymnastic sports, and are now em ploying several hundred labourers in lowering the hill, and raising the valley seven feet, which will bring it nearly on a level. It is also intended to enclose the market all round, from Maiden-lane to the Caledonian road, with a high wall, which has been already com menced, next to Frenchman's Island. They have also taken away the hedge and bank next to Maiden-lane, for the purpose of widening the road leading to the Brecknock Arms, which will be a great improvement, as well as a benefit to the public. It is also intended to carry the whole of the drainage of the new market into Essex, by making a sewer from Maiden-lane, through the market, into the Caledonian-road, for which pur pose excavations have commenced. REPAVING OF OXFORD-STREET.--The portion of Ox ford-street between Charles-street, Soho-square, and Tottenham-courtroad, is closed for repairs, and, in the meantime, the traffic of this important thoroughfare is obliged to take a circuitous route of the adjoining streets to and from the City and West-end of the town. It is understood to be intended to widen the footpath at this point of the street by taking a portion of the carriage road for that purpose. HIINGARY.—The Augsburg Gazette states, on the f a o u rm tho e ri r t p y of a rovost is,leitatrserhaftroofmcoPmesot, that rn h , hash M. ange F a u h x i the himself in his cell in the military prison at Pesth. The reason given for his suicide is that he was accused of having participated in the well known Comorn plot of last year, the object of which was to liberate the political pri soners and to get possession of the fortress. It appears that he had laid violent hands on himself in order not to be obliged to compromise any of his accomplices by his confessions. APPROACHING MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—The con templated matrimonial alliance between Mr. Charles H. Mills, son of Charles Mills, Esq., of Cameiford-house, and the Lady Louisa Lascelles, daughter of the Earl and Countess of Harewood, and niece to the Duchess of Buceleuch and the Countess of Cawdor, will take place e e a mr r o l bi y (ee n zrz e ßi x in t wg m a month, at Harewood, Yorkshire.

A telegraphic dispatch from Trieste, received in Paris yesterday, states that the Sublime Porte accepts, in all its parts, and " without any modification," the note which had been drawn up at Vienna by the representa tives of the four Powers who signed the treaty of 1841 ; that (bat acceptance, couched in the most courteous terms, is accompanied with assurance of a sincere friendship on the part of the Ottoman Government ; that " owing to a delicacy of sentiment, easy to be understood," the Extraordinary Ambassador charged with conveying to the Czar the adhesion of the Sultan, will leave Constan- tinople for St. Petersburg so soon as the Russian troops shall have received the order to evacuate the territory that has been invaded. As the desire of the Sultan is ' entirely conformable to the declarations of the Govern ments of France and England, no obstacle need now be placed in the way of the pacific and definitive conclusion announced in the present dispatch. Letters from Constantinople of the 31st continue to state that, while the same enthusiastic and national feeling pervaded all classes of the Turkish population, there was still evinced some discontent at the dila toriness of the allies of the Porte. It has been found that those complaints are unfounded in great part, particularly with reference to England. Some allowance must, however, be' made for persons under such circum stances as the present at Constantinople. The letters an nounce the arrival of the Eurotas, with a quantity of muskets for the Turkish Government. The excitement was alarming. The Hospodars of Wallachia and Mol davia, who had been summoned to Constantinople, had refused to obey. This intelligence produced such an effect upon the old Turkish party that serious fears are entertained for the safety of Constantinople. In one word, revolution is imminent. On the 7th of August the English and French Consuls at Bucharest and Jassy had struck their flags. The interest here is now entirely centred upon Constantinople. We, shall receive the Sultan's acceptance of the Viennese proposal about the 20th, unless some disturbance takes place at the Turkish capital. As its condition is so precarious, the anxiety is considerable. Prince Gortschakoff, Commander-in-Chief of the Rus sian army in the Principalities, arrived at Bucharest on 30th July. The Greek bishops called to pay their re spects to him. They conversed with the General on the subject of the three protectorates of the Holy Sepulchre. Prince Gortschakoff treated them with greater kindness than he had shown even to the Hospodar. AUSTRIA. We learn by a telegraphic dispatch from Vienna that the ceremony of the marriage by proxy of the Arch duchess Maria Henrietta and the Duke de Brabant took place there on Wednesday evening in the chapel of the palace of Schcenbrunn. The ceremony was performed by the Archbishop of Vienna. All the members of the diplomatic body were present. There was a grand re ception by the Emperor after the ceremony. The Voss Gazette states that the Emperor of Austria will not go to Pesth as he had intended, but will go to Pisa with the Archduchess Sophia. SPAIN. Our accounts from Madrid are of the 7th instant. The Gazette publishes a royal decree, commanding that one or more asylurns4thall be established forthwith in each capital town thioughout the provinces, where the children of the indigent poor are to be received during the day. Thb first asylum opened at Madrid is to be placed under the patronage of the Princess ,of the Asturias. The 7th being Sunday, the Madrid Stock Exchange remained closed. ITALY. The Venice Gazette of the 6th inst. announces. that an exception is to be made to the decree of Marshal Radetzky, prohibiting the exportation of grain and flour from the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom, in favour of grain and flour at present in the free territory of Venice, which are to remain free without regard to the country which produced them. A letter from Turin of the 9th inst. announces the complete recovery of the Count de Cavour, Prime Minister of the Xing of Piedmont. Count Persado, the captain of the Governolo, arrived at Genoa on, the 6th, and was immediately put under arrest to await the decision of the Court-martial respect ing his management of that vessel at the time of her striking against the rock called Santa Maria. We regret to hear that Mr. Fitzroy, to whom the public are indebted for the substantial benefits of the Hackney Carriage Act, and several other useful mea sures of domestic legislation, has been obliged to leave London for the benefit of his health, and has taken no part whatever in the business of his department during the last ten days. We are glad to be able to add that his medical advisers entertain confident expectations that the hon. gentleman will speedily be able to resume his duties at the Home-office. AUSTRALIAN AGRICULTURAL COMPANY.—A meeting of the Australian Agricultural Company took place yes terday, when Mr. Wallace was elected as a director to fill the vacancy occasioned by the retirement of Mr. S. Marjoribanks. In the course of the discussion reference was made to the development of the property. and the chairman (Mr. Brownrigg) assured the shareholders that every measure had been adopted to secure that object. ST. PETERSBURG.—The advices from St. Petersburg are to the 6th instant, but they contain no news either political or commercial, except that the rate of exchange had advanced to 38id. to 15-16 d., in consequence, pro bably of the high quotations at Odessa. Transactions generally were pursuing their usual course, the only diffi culty experienced being the want of ships. RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Thursday morning last, at five o'clock, as a party of workmen were proceeding, in a, coach kept for their accommodation, to their daily employment, down the Byers-green branch, towards Ferry-hill station on the York, Newcastle, and Berwick line of railway, they, in consequence of a dense fog, and the line being a single one, came in collision with a train. We regret to state that the accident proved fatal to two of the men ; three others being seriously and three slightly injured. HEALTH OF LoRD FITZHARDINGE.—A variety of rumours having been current during the past week re specting the health of Lord Fitzhardinge, and the same having been in some measure authenticated by a para graph in the Free Press of Saturday, we have great pleasure in stating that these rumours are entirely with out foundation. The noble lord is in the enjoyment of his usual health, as proved by letters received from him this very morning. —Cheltenham Examiner. THE QUEEN'S NEW STATIONERY OFFICE. —Th e building at present appropriated as her Majesty's Stationery Of fice, has, from the increasing business in that depart ment, been for a long period found inadequate for the purpose, and the erection of a new office has consequently been determined upon, and a most eligible and conve nient site selected. This is in Princes-street, Storey's gate, at the rear of the Westminster Hospital, upon which has hitherto stood the well-known Royal West minster-mews. The work of demolition of the latter premises has rapidly progressed during the past few days, and Messrs. Piper and Son, of Bishopsgate, the con tractors, will immediately proceed with the erection of the new building, commencing, with a view to its sta bility, by laying the foundation in concrete. The *style will be light and appropriate, and form three Fides of a quadrangle enclosing a spacious court yard. The chief or western front will be of commanding elevation, in length about 90 feet ; the material stone, and in design . resemble the elegant front of Whitehall Chapel.
