SUPPLEMENT TO TIIE aCitngurf ic4; 6entrat Commercial Alritertistr. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1853 No. 1612.] Standard Office, Two o'cloc -- lc, p.m [BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH The' Times says, " That, in the present state of affairs, the probability or otherwise of the Bank of England rais ing the rate of discount to 5 per cent. must entirely depend pressure experie day to day. It is believed, however, that the intensity of the existing panic is regarded as being so much beyond what could have been looked for, that any likely addition to it would be reluctantly resorted to. " Money was in demand in the Stock Exchange, on Monday, at from 3 to 31 per cent. on Government Secu rities. Out of doors, also, a considerable pressure is kept up, but so much of it now arises from mere apprehension, that no opinion can be foundel upon it as to the real wants of the mercantile community." OVERLAND MAIL. MARSEILLES, MONDAY.—The Indian Mail arrived at 7 a.m. THE EASTERN QUESTION. (From the Second Edition of the "Morning Herald.") We are enabled to state, on the best authority, that the government, moved at length by the unanimous voice of the country, and now awake to the insiduous designs of Russia, have sent full powers to the British Ambassador at Constantinople to act more energetically in support of the Turks. The Government have also despatched a mes senger to Vice-Admiral Dandas, in Besika Bay, via" Marseilles and Malta, with despatches informing him of the instructions sent to Lord 13e Redcliffe, and enjoining the gallant Admiral to be in readiness to attend instantly to any requisition that the Ambassador may make to him to proceed to Constantinople, with the entire force under his command. It is expected that by the time the Govern ment messenger will reach Admiral Danlls the squadron will be under weigh for the Bosphorus, and hostilities will have commenced. We are further enabled to state that orders have been sent to Admiral Corry, to take the whole of the fleet under his command, including the division of powerful screw ships, and proceed to sea to-morrow, the 28th. We be lieve a portion of this fleet . will proceed northward, and perhaps another part to Gibraltar or Malta. Other screw line of battle-ships will be immediately commissioned for active service. The Times says :—" The storms and frost of the ap proaching winter, already in some degree discernible, will directly affect the prospect of affairs in the East of Europe. The waters of Besika Bay will no longer provide the mari time power with a secure rendezvous for their squadrons ; and the impassable roads of the Danubian provinces will furnish a pretext for continuing the unlawful occupation of a Foreign territory; in all respects, therefore, it is plainly discernible that our negotiations should be brought without more delay to some point of distinct understanding. Are England and France disposed to commit the exercise of the authority over Turkish subjects, which the Czar appears very intelligibly to attend to; if not, will the Czar recede before their determined opposition ? These are points at issue, and they may be brought to a con clusion, the Times thinks, before winter complicates our embarrassment, or the suspense of such a decision works any further inconvenience." CONSPANUNOPLE, SEPT. 15.—The Times says : "Convinced by the argument of the Sheik Ul-Islam, the Memas have revoked their last declaration.—The process Sion of the Beiram went of in the most perfect and tranquil manner. Extensive precautions hid been taken, and the garrison and police were reinforced by strong de tachments of troops and peace-offimrs. boThe crews of the vessels in harbour were confined on pl their ships. th e 15,000 to 2D,003 muskets linve been taken from arsenal of St. Irene, and shipped oX to Varna. Ll Vettpoot.: Printed and Published every Tuesday, by the Propri STANDARD GENERAL PiLlairtgaG 0/Ancss. No. 4, St. Gee [GRATIS. Another despatch of the same date states that the ex citement caused by the steps taken by the Ulemas threat ens the most serious consequences, and that on the 14th the Ambassadors of France and Great Britain resolved to order three French and three British steam frigates from the fleet to proceed to Constantinople. The French Am , bassador was the first to take this measure. Christian' population of the Turkish capital The refusal of Russia to accede to the Turkish modifica tions has not yet become publicly known at Constanti nople. The steamers are under the orders of a French adiairal THE :' ONFERENCE.—A Vienna letter of the 21st states that Westmoreland had orders to insist that the proposed declaration—" the Vienna note contains nothing dangerous to the sovereignty of the Sultan"— should be drawn up in the form of a protocol. After the interpretation given to the note by Russia, England might, but would not, compel the Sultan to adopt that engage ment BUCHAREST, SEPT. 15.—Fresh troops from Southern Russia are continually pouring in. The camp, near Tokt chany, is about to be broken up, and moved to Puirgero, opposite Rustchak.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—THis DAY. There was a very full attendance, at this morning's market, of millers and dealers from the country, by whom there was a very active demand for Wheat and Flour, and the prices of all descriptions were higher. Wheat may be quoted 6d to 9d per 701b5., and Flour 5s per sack, and 23 to 3s per barrel above the rates of this day week. Barley and Malt were very scarce, and worth at least 2s per quar ter more money. Beans and Peas also in small supply, and 2s to 3s per quarter dearer. Oats 3d per bushel higher, and Oatmeal 2s 6d per load above this day week. Indian Corn was in short supply, and, meeting an active demand, realised about 5s per quarter more money. The moderate arrivals, up to our market of Friday last, have been largely augmented since, the week's import of foreign Wheat, chiefly American, amounting to nearly 21,030 quarters, and that of States, Canadian, and Spanish Flour to 51,661 barrels and 3,787 sacks ; the fresh supply of other produce from abroad being light, and the receipts coastwise and from Ireland small,—the particulars of which, with the exports of the week, are subjoined.
