IBY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.] THE WAR IN THE EAST (From the Times.) Viz/gigs, MONDAY EVENING. - It is affirmed that one part of Count Orloff's mission is to obtain permission to send, under certain circumstances, a Russian corps from Warsaw, by way of Presburg, to the Danubian seat of war. His first interview with the emperor took place at eleven o'clock yesterday morning.. He leaves Vienna for Berlin on Wednesday or Thursday. Prince Gortschakoff is dismissed, and ordered to return to his estates. General Schilder, his successor, past through Pesth on Saturday, on his way to the seat of war. Up to the 26th, nothing new from the seat of war. A letter of the 22nd, from the frontiers of Poland, says that General Schilder's was ac companied by several superior officers of engineers ; and that he was said to be charged with throwing bridges across the Danube, and directing the passage of that river. THE FLEETS IN THE BLACH SEAL—The Times re marks, in a short leading article, that, as the admirals have received orders to require all Russian cruisers to return so Sebastopol, and if it be true that a consider able squadron of Russian vessels is still at sea, it is not improbable that a collision of some importance may have taken place. PARIS, MONDAY.—Bourse, after several fluctuations, closed at a decline below that of Saturday. Threes, 68.76. Four-and-half per Cents., 97.50. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE PLYMOUTH, MONDAY.—The steamer Propontis has arrived here. Left Calcutta Nov. 15th, Madras 20th, Ceylon 24th, Mauritius Dec. 7th, Cape of Good Hope 23rd. Great scarcity of money at the Cape. It was reported that silver and copper ore, limestone, iron, gold, and quick silver discovered at Port Natal. --- THE ROYAL SPEECH The Times says, there is about it an air of business and reality which cannot be too highly commended. On the Eastern question, her Majesty simply says, her hopes of restoring peace have been hitherto'disappointed ; that she continues to exert herself in the same direction ; and that, in order to give effect to her representations, she requires her naval and military forces tosbe strengthened. The announcement is merely confined to that for which she requires the assistance of Parliament. The rest she is contented to leave, without a word, to the judgment of .Europe and the enlightened intelligence of her people. In no spirit of bravado, animated by no lust of power, England advances against the common enemy, in alliance with the great neighbouring nation, both thoroughly con felons that by so doing they are only anticipating a contest which, if now deferred, must be waged hereafter with th e same enemy on much less advantageous terms. R2moment speech gives no expression to the heated passions of .oment ; but it vindicates the position the nation has runled with calm dignity and convincing clearness. We _ 4 ° not threaten but we arm. We speak no great words ; o ut those which we speak we are fully prepared to sup- Port by deeds. Parliamentary and ecclesiastical reform; a review of the law for the settlement of the poor ; a fur ther extension of the navigation laws, by opening the coasting trade to foreign vessels ; university and civil ser vice reforms, are the other principal topics. The Times says, the ministerial programme is not very extensive ; but, if carried out with energy and success, it promises us a session of useful and practical reform. It is the first speech, for many years, which contains no allu sion to the discontents of Ireland or of the colonies. LONDON STOCK & SHARE MARKET.—This DAY. NOON QUOTATIONS.
