MISS CUNNINGHAME-LETTER FROM HER BROTHER The following letter explains the causes and circumstances of Miss Cunninghatne's release : 8111 ,—I have j us t seen t h e repor t o f th e procee di ngs o f a d eputation which waited on Lord Clarendon last week, to thank his Lordship for his exertions in procuring the liberation of m y sister, Miss M. Cunninghame, recently impeached at Lucca; and I observe that,Lord Clarendon, in his reply, is reported to have made a remark calculated to leave the impression that my sister had, in fact, infringed the law of Tuscany. " It has, indeed, from the first, been too hastily taken for ?ranted, both in England and elsewhere, that the mere distri bution of religious tracts, or the Bible, constituted an offence against the law of Tuscany. " That this, however, is not the case, the following state went may serve to show. " At the time when my sister was liberated by the so-called Pardon of the Grand Duke, the Camera d'Accusa, or second Court of Lucca, before which my sister's case stood for adjudi cation, had actually drawn up, signed, and sealed a decree, acquitting her of the charge of which she stood accused. " And this decree was only prevented from being delivered '1 the issue of the Grand Duke's pardon, which, by the law of Tus cany, has the effect of quashing the proceedings of the law courts, in whatever stage they may be. " It is understood that this decree of acquittal proceeded, re on the want of proof that my sister had distributed the t? Testament and the tracts in question, but on the ground that the distribution of these books did not come within the suing of the law under which she was accused of having atte mpted to propagate doctrines contrary to the religion of the Kate. ``lt is well known that at the time when the Grand Duke c ,___ 41 44 0 his pardon, he was perfectly aware of the decision of the ,'"' l , era d'Accusa, and that his object in issuing it was to quash the decree of acquittal. L" It is easy to conceive how little agreeable to the Grand }Di k e would be the publication of a decree at once wounding 1 1 • 4 Pride and depriving his bigotry of its prey. But the pub cation of this decree would have been most precious to the 445 e of religious freedom in Tuscany. It would have been a heavy blow to spiritual despotism ; it Would have decided that the circulation of the Scriptures not contrary to the laws of tho state ; and it would a ve tau g ht the unfortunate •Tu scans that, though oppressed by a despotic duke and a persecuting church, they had still I , refuge i n the firmness and integrity of the law courts of ticea. th ," Nothing can be more clear than that the quashing of decree of acquital by the so-called pardon was an act of 16 ' 04 8 injustice to my sister ; and on this ground it might no t„ Yet be too late for a British minister, desirous of securing iu k e cause of freedom, to demand of the Tuscan government Publication of this decree of acquittal, which might yet be i' a de to form the foundation and charter of religious freedom Tuscany.—l remain, sir, your very obedient servant, " ARCHIBALD CUNNINGHAME.

JACKSON, M.P., AND THE GREAT CANADIAN RAILWAY. i,the St. John's (New Brunswick) Courier has the follow -"g remarks in reference to the Great Canadian Railway v t oinoted by Messrs. Jackson, Brassey, and Co.:— u`' 'The Great Company Railroad—Scheme abandaned— tTbr• Jackson's despatch—the Bubble burst—the first sod— last sod.' Such is the text on which the Halifax Acadian Recorder b 7,411 - orning Chronicle dole forth a tissue of abuse, slander '"luisrepesentation, well calculated, if believed and acted n, as it no doubt will be, by a large party in Nova Scotia, it i r l'dden the difference and aggravate the party spirit which ,!atly distract that unhappy country. It affords a melancholy instance of how far men can be 4, 3ide from the paths of truth and honesty, to find editors \t le one said to be a member of the Legislative Council the ether a representative of the county of Halifax, in jiZably—gravely asserting that Messrs.

Prom the way these people handle facts we are eon- Jy er sant with, we have no hesitation in believing that Mr. ackso n ' s l e tt er gave no authority whatever for their state ments and comments. is well known that Mr. Jackson always calculated as a part it of his scheme, that Imperial assistance would be ob tained towards the Trunk Railway from Halifax to Quebec. It was hoped that such assistance would be given to that portion between Miramichi and Trois Pistoles, which can never be built by private interest ; and it now appears that "&";;Vial aid can only be got for the whole road from Halifax s eern‘, ; l, as one scheme.

The manufactory was tl e :‘..insured, and it is a singular fact, in connection with E 3 -7 Matter, that the proprietor intended insuring it on a.llrday morning last, but from some cause or other, was eked, unluckily for him, to put off doing so, till this I P STATU E TO PRINCE ALBERT IN HYDE PARK,— Iterday afternoon, a meeting of those favourable to the 4 e tion of a statue to Prince Albert to commemorate his 0; 418 in promoting and carrying to a successful issue the l t , e at Exhibition in Hyde Park, was convened by the Lord li,,`l Bl *, and took place in the Egyptian Hall, Mansion Sh -1188 .

VIENNA, SUNDAY The Turks began the passage from Rustchuk to Giurgevo on the 2nd inst., under .a heavy cannonade between the two places. BUCHAREST, OCT. 29. Prince Stirbey has held a review of the Walla- chian militia. After the review the Prince was informed of Prince Gortschakoff's wish that the militia should join the Russians in their operations against the Turks. Prince Stirbey replied, that the Wallachianmilitia had to perform the duties of a garrison and police in the country, and that they could not be expected to take part in the campaign. RUSSIA Advices from Odessa state, that the head-quarters of the sth corps of Infantry, under General Liiders, are to be removed froth Odessa to Ismail. The 13th division of Infantry has been shipped off from Sebastopol, and landed on the coast be tween Tuchan Kale and Redif Kale. Steamers with troops have been sent up the river Anakeon. Mailer's Infantry division has left Odessa to take the place of the 13th division in the Crimea. Beyond the fact that the Turks had entered Wal lachia, and for a certain period encountered no effective opposition, nothing more is known re garding the movements of the two armies in Wal- lachia. - In Asia, however, we have intelligence of an engagement on a large scale, in which the Turks - were victorious. If is conveyed in a letter dated Constantinople, 26th ult., which says—" At two o'clock, yesterday, the Esseui Djedid, a Turkish war steamer, arrived here direct from Batum; bringing news of the commencement of hostilities, and of an engagement in which the Turks had been THE NORTHERt short. In place of the 23d . of October it is to the 30th that the opening of the campaign has been postponed. I do not know what is expected to arrive during that time, but something must necessarily be expected, since the date fixed by the Turks is .the one proposed by England and France. It must be concluded that these two Powers ex= pect within that time some important answer, or the conclu sion of some negociation which is unknown to me. " Austria, wh - o has expressed her regret that all her efforts to arrive at a reconciliation should have failed, has intimated to the Porte that in any case she will observe a strict neu trality. She yesterday officially took the Russians remain ing here under her protection. Almost all commercial men have left. The others, that is to say, the functionaries of the consulate, the post-office, &c., took their passage yester= day by the Germania, a steamer belonging to the Austrian Lloyd's, which they freighted for Odessa. At the moment of my return into town I am informed that the answer of Russia to the declaration of war has ar rived, and that, as was to be expected, it terminates by an appeal to arms. But I have no means of verifying this news." victorious.. It - appears that Selim Pacha, the Turkish Commander-in chief at Batum, hearing that the Russians were erecting fortifications at the other side of the Tchuruksuju, sent a detachment of troops to reconnoitre. The Russians, on this, attacked the Turks, and a skirmish ensued. On this news reac,hing Selim Paella, he advanced with a portion of the army of Batum, forcing his pas sage across the Tchuruksuju (a border riveo, attacking the Russians, and driving them back successfully. Selim Paella, is stated to have pushed on in the direction of Sukjedi on one side, and Oreli on the other. This move leads to the belief that he purposes joining the great army, which stands under the orders of Abdi Pacha, and is stationed near Kars." The Breslau Journal contains intelligence from Constantinople, according to which " a body of twenty thousand Russians, on their march from Daghestan to the Turkish frontier (?), were sud denly attacked in the gorges of Zakorwly by thirty thousand mountaineers, and completely routed." The intelligence conveyed to this journal from the East must be received with all due caution. Other journals assert, upon authority of letters from Bos nia, that great fermentation exists in Montenegro, and that the prince, who Was recently rescued from well-merited chastisement, is no Way disposed to favour an outbreak, so as to, produce a diversion in the rear of the Turkish army, in case serious hos tilities should ensue. Other letters from Constantinople of the 27th ult., by the Tabor, state that the greater portion of the French fleet were anchored at Lampsaki, oppo site to Gallipoli. The combined fleet would occupy three different points. One opposite the Darda nelles, the second at Gallipoli, and the third at Beicos, in the Bosphorus, opposite therapia. The Paris correspondent of the Times says—ln the accounts received from Constantinople and elsewhere, the hope is still expressed that means will, after all, be' found of arriving at a peaceftil solution of the quarrel ; but it is right to add, that these hopes are not expresSed with much warmth, and that they are but slightly participated in by people here. It has been asserted in a quarter which is often semi officially informed, that the time for notes and projects of arrangement is rapidly slipping away, and that the Emperor Louis Napoleon, tired and baffled in his repeated attempts, in conjunction with England, has made up his mind to a more determined policy from this moment forward ; certain as he appears to be that England is with him. The suspicions, un founded, as no doubt they are, that attempts were recently made to wean England from a common action, should that action assume a less forbearing character, have been dissipated, and the Emperor, notwithstanding his habitual reserve, is said to have, within the last few days, expressed his thoUghts very frankly. The Constantinople letter of the Journal des Debats, dated 26th October, which arrived at Mart seilles by the Thabor, contains a copy of the note transmitted to the Porte on the 20th October, by M. de Bruck, the Austrian Internuncio. The fol loWing is the note :-- " CONFIDENTIAL PROJECT "In unanimously advising the Sublime Porte to adopt the project of notes agreed to at Vienna, the Courts of Austria, France, England, and Prussia, are penetrated with the conviction that this document does not in any .way violate the sovereign rights and the dignity of his Majesty the Sultan. " This conviction is founded on the positive assurances that the Cabinet of St. Petersburg has given, with respect to the intentions which animate his Majesty, the Emperor of Russia in demanding a general guarantee of the reli gious immunities accorded by the Sultan to the Greek Church in his Empire. "It follows from these assurances that in demanding, in virtue of the principle laid down in the Treaty of Kainardji, that the Greek worship and clergy should continue to enjoy their spiritual privileges under the cegis of their Sovereign, the Emperor demands nothing contrary to the independence and the rights of the Sultan, nothing which implies an in tention of intermeddling in the interior affairs of the Otto man Empire. "What the Emperor of Russia wishes is, the strict maintenance of the religious statu quo of his worship— to wit, an entire equality of rights and immunities between the Greek Church and the other Christian communities subject to the Porte, and consequently the enjoyment in favour of the Greek Church . of the advantages accorded to these communities. He does not mean to resuscitate the privileges of the Greek Church which have fallen into desue tude by the effect of time or of administrative changes, but he deniands that the Sultan should make it participate in all the advantages which he will accord hereafter to other Christian rites. . "The Imperial Cabinet of Austria wishes, consequently, not to dcubt that the Sublime Porte, in contemplating once more, with all the serious attention that the gravity of the 'situation requires, the explanation given by Russia, with the object of stating precisely the nature and extent of her demands, will decide on the pure and simple adoption of the Vienna Note. " That adoption, while ensuring to the Ottoman govern ment a new title to the sympathy and the support of the Powers which have advised it _to take the step, offers .. to it at the same time a means equally prompt and lio'nourable to operate its frank reconciliation with the Russian empire—a_ reconciliation which so many all-important interests so im peratively require." The correspondent adds " This note was the result of the conference of Olmutz, which appeared at the moment to be ignorant of the decla ration of war by Turkey. Immediately after M. de Bruck, Colonel Wildenbruck arrived from Prussia with a project, which was only a copy of the Austrian project. M. de Bruck did not insist much, but the Prussian came several times back to the charge. He did not succeed better. The Porte is quite decided on war. Redschid Pacha declares loudly, and has repeated this morning, in my presence, that the Turks were determined to perish rather than ever to accept the Vienna Note. In their eyes this new project of note presented to them as a guarantee from Europe, is not better than the note of the conference, and they have rejected it without even discussing it. At bottom, those among them who know a little of European politics, appear to be persuaded that Europe will not allow them to perish, that morally they will gain something by attempting the way of arms, even if they should` . .be beaten ; and that, finally, Europe is too deeply interested in preventing war, not to exert itself to force the Emperor of Russia to yield his pretensions, since they themselves have gone to the utmost limit possible in the way of concession ; and that they have made up their minds to die with arms in their hands rather than make fur ther concessions. The Turks have, therefore, absolutely re jected this new i project. To the reasons which have deter mined them t must be added that, at the same time that this project was submitted to them in the name of the Four Powers, there arrived also from France and England the answer—the contre coup of the note — by which Count Nesselrode explained his manner of un derstanding the Vienna note. That answer, that contre coup was the advice given to the Porte by the two Western Powers not to accept the Vienna note, accom panied by clear and frank promises of support and assist ance. The Turks have therefore deemed themselves entitled to consider these new propositions as non avenus, and the answer to these new overtures is the entry of the fleets. They have several days since passed the Dardanelles, but they have not yet appeared before Constantinople. " While the propositions of Prussia and Austria were re jected, the Turks listened to England and France, and it was on their demand that the orders were sent to the army of the Danube and of Asia to stop a little before commenc ing hostilities ; nevertheless, the new delay fixed on is very TURKEY. Letters from Constantinople of the 26th say:— The hourly-expected detachment from the Brit ish and French squadrons has not yet arrived, though, as it has been passed by steamers on this side of Gallipoli, it is certain that its advent can not be much further delayed. As I mentioned in my last letter, orders have been despatched to Omer Pasha in Eiirope, and Selim Pasha in Asia, to delay the commencement of hostilities. This delay is not an indefinite one, but will extend to the 31st of this month, after which the Turkish armies will assurdely act on the offensive, unless any new and unlooked-for con cession on the part of the Emperor has taken place meanwhile. We believe that Lord Stratford pre vailed. on the Turkish`'Ministers to consent to a delay - of 10 days, in order that diplomacy might make a *lst, and we may add a desperate effort towards effecting a peaceable solution of the question. Before the present north wind set in upwards of 2000 vessels passed into the Black Sea. Nearly all the cargoes of corn from the Danube have been sold damaged. At Odessa freights are four times the usual value. In this port freights are 14s. a quarter, the usual average being 68. Merchants are paying £l4 per ton for the freight of wool to England. Exchange 12-2 t P.S. It is the general opinion here that the order to delay hostilities will have arrived too late in Asia, FRANCE PARIS, Nov. 6, 6 P.M.—The Moniteur states that the French troops in Algiers have obtained a victory over the Arabs.

The Toronto Globe states that the steamer Fairy Queen was lost on the night of the 7th ult., between Picton Island and the land, Two passengers, eight of the crew, and all the officers saved them selves, but left eleven passengers to their fate. The captain and crew had been arrested, to await the result of an investigation. CANADIAN MAIL STEAMERS.—The Quebec Mevcury —The following is an extract from a letter re ceived by Messrs. Gillespie and Co., from Messrs. McKean, M`Larty and Co., dated at Liverpool, 30th September. "We have hitherto, notwithstanding every 'ort, been unable to secure a steamer from hence Canada next month, although in our endeavors procure a vessel, we have made large offers, not .aking money an object, but the prejudice of steamboat proprietors, against the navigation of the St, Lawrence at this advanced season, is so great that we cannot overcome it, and our only hope, at present, is the possibility of the " Cleopatra's ' ar rival, sufficiently early to enable us to send her out in October. eff to to '• The monthly service, however, to Portland, dur ing the winter will be regularly maintained." It appears from a return -which had just been published that the customs duties collected at the port of Toronto, during the quarter just closed; ex ceeded, by £20,000, those of the corresponding quarter last year. During the first three quarters of the year, the increase had been about .R 34,000, gild if, during the last quarter, the same ratio con tinues, the advance of the whole year will be about 50 per cent., showing an enormous enlargement of imports. The steamship Sarah Sands arrived in Mon treal on the 21st ult. The Montreal Herald of the 24th ult., says of her " She is a larger vessel than we had expected to find her, and has four masts. Her steam power is, evidently, altogether dispro portionate to her burden, and, unless supplied with new engines, she is entirely unsuited for our mail line of ocean steamers." The Ottawa Citizen says that several gentlemen have it in contemplation to establish a new bank at Bytown. It is stated that the business of that section of the country has so much increased of late, that an establishment of the kind is absolutely necessary- _ DISASTROUS ACCIDENT AT SEA.—The Quebec Mer cury of the 20 ult., says :—Captain Willis of the Sta dacona, just arrived at Quebec, reports that at night, on the 14th Sept., in 24 deg. 30, he was alarmed by hearing voices close alongside his ship, in a heavy gale of wind. On looking put he saw some sort of large vessel ; but shortly missed her. He, however, hove to and hoisted lights. Next morning he again saw the vessel, which turned out to be the Brig Brown, of Sunderland, dismasted, water logged, and with her boat disabled. Not withstanding the violence of the weather, Capt. Willis sent his boat on board the Brown, from which he thus succeeded in rescuing the master, mate, and five men. They had eaten . nothing since the 10th of September ; nor drank anything but rain water. It appeared from the statement of the master, (Captain Reid) that he was caught in a hurricane on the 10th instant, and that at one -the next morning his vessel capsized. The crew, how ever, succeeded in cutting away the main mast, and so righting her. In this state, full of water, she remained till-fallen in with by the Sta dacona. _ . By the American steamship Atlantic we are this morning in receipt of a file of a new and useful paper entitled the NORTHERN DAILY TIMES, pub lished at Liverpool, by Charles Willmer, which the proprietor sends out to Canada and the States by every steamship that may leave that port. It con tains the latest intelligence, besides a considerable amount of shipping news, and is published at a lower price than the European Times.—Quebeo Mer cury. CALIFORNIA.

Russell immediately assistance of Officer 746, and they then saw isack take a chisel from his pocket and age it on the ioor. The robbers observed the officers and they decamped. 746 followed Walshe up Bold Street, and heard him drpn something which sounded like keys, and upon arresting ttim he found a chisel -upon his person. Previously Patrick, detective officer, had seen the same gang trying the back door of Messrs. Litherland and Davies, Chronometer makers, of Bold Street. The other two prisoners were then arrested, on their persons were found two bunches of skele ton keys, a quantity of picks, and other instruments in use with burglers. Mr. Clough said, that in consequence of ex tensive robbery which had taken place, he should request the magistrates to pause from their final decision on this case,and remand the prisoners for seven days. This the magistrates did, observing at the same time, that the entire transaction was very creditable to the officers. The detective stated that it would be well to caution house keepers to leave the keys in their doors after locking them, as doubtless this was a great obstacle to an. entry being made by means of skeleton keys. A FAMILY or PICK-POCRETS.—John Browne, Mary Browne, Ellen Browne, Patrick Browne, and Daniel Daley, were charged by Russell and Moenßock,. detective officers, with picking pockets on Saturday night, in Queen's-square.

The little female child was sent into the crowd to commit the robberies, whilst all the rest acted in concert. by covering and, screening her, She came out on two occasions, and handed money to the father and mother, who encouraged her by saying, " that's a good kirl." On one occasion, Patrick distinctly saw the child give the old woman a shilling, but he could not see who had been robbed. The father told her to go again into the crowd, and she immediately came out with something in her hand. He had seen the same child on Friday, in Park lane, attempting to pick pockets. The magistrates said, that this was a flagrant and disgraceful case, for here were unnatural parents, for their own villainous purpose s , bring ing up a child on the high road to ruin, and commending her for actual plunder. The husband and wife should get three months' imprisonment, and the son, and son-in-law, two months' imprisonment each. As for the little girl, she should be remanded to this day, in order that they might consider the best way to deal with her melancholy case.

A medical certificate was put in, by which it appears that the woman's lying in the Norther]: Hospital with her skull extremely fractured, and in a very dangerous state. Boland's son swore that his father was ir bed that evening, and so when the wife came in drunk, any abused him, he struck her with the handle of the brush, am she fell, but he believes it was the concussion of her head or the ground that caused the dangerous - injury.

Mr. Francis Robinson, solicitor, was for the complainant ; and Mr. Rigge, solicitor, I • for the 'defendant.

On Tuesday last, the defendant was fined by 'the magistrates for assaulting a person named Littlewood, in the service of the complainant, and on the following day, (Wednesday) he went to the complainant's stall in the market,'where he used the most abusive language to her, threatening, that if he found her husband, he would be his butcher, and eventually taking hold of her by the hair of her head and assaulting her, although she was considerably advanced in pregnancy. The case was clearly made out, and the magistrates fined the defendant in a penalty of £5 and costs, or in default, one month's imprisonment, with an intimation from the bench, that if he ever came into that court again in_ a similar charge, • he would either be prison under the recent act, or committed to take his tra . at the Sessions, and that they hoped, if sent to that tribunal the recorder would make an example of him. A GRATEFUL NATION.—A wronged man I have been—more wronged than this world tells of, for ever the public good has guided me in suffering as in action ; but when falsehood is in vigorous activity, with encouragement and support from power; when even from the judgment seat insolence and oppression are dealt forth, the dignity of human nature gives a right, without imputation of vanity, to avow good services. To me also as an inspired truth has come that passionate burst of eloquence with which Charles Fox repelled foul enmity. " There is a spirit of resistance implanted by the Deity in the breast of man proportioned to the size of the wrongs he is destined to endure." The spirit prompts me to vindicate a claim to better usage. I have won victories, sub dued a great kingdom by arms and legislation, governing so as to enable a million of human beings to enjoy life and lift their heads in freedom. I have opened a vast field for commercial enterprise by the Indus, augmented' the revenue of the Indian government by millions ; and in a moment of imminent peril saved the Anglo-Indian Empire from mutiny more formidable than ever before menaced its stability. The return has been, twice to drive me from high and .honorable positions, and all but proclaim me a public enemy. In parliament vilified by men without truth or honor; out of it libelled, and from the bench with vulgar insult refused protection against slander, I leave my actions to history,—Sir cu r i o israpier, 33irtb5, Xarriages, antr Oratbo.
