Events seem now to be proceeding in a regular course - . Diplomacy being essentially secret, sur rounded by arbitrary systems of checks and ba lances, and r tirtaking in no small measure of the arts of intrigue, is, in its progress, always unsatisfactory, because the means adopted to attain the end; not being visible, cannot be popularly comprehended. Very different is it with events. For the most part they point to a conclusion easily understood—they are resting places for the attention, and everybody, whatever their amount of information, or the character of their judgment; is able to calculate their consequences for himself. I acquainted„ you yesterday with the substance of the Manifesto addressed by the Porte to its own subjects and to the PoWers, informing them that war, under conditions, had been declared against Russia. .We learn to-day that Omer Pacha, con formably to the terms of this notification, has called upon Count Gortschakoff, the Russian commander n-chief upon the Danube, to evacuate the. two Principalities, and informed him that if a.negative rnsi,ver was returned within a period of fifteen days, aostilities would be commenced. From Vienna we hear by telegraph that the RuSsian commander-in ehief will neither fight nor run away :—"The answer of the Russian commander-in-chief is to the effect that he is neither authorised to commence hostilities, nor to conclude peace, nor to evacuate the Principalities.", The meaning of this is that the Russian forces will maintain a defensive posi tion, and abide the issue of the Turks' attack. The answer of the Cos Sack seems, from this, summary, to have 'been both laconic and insolent, two quali ties which all the Russian documents on this ques; flan have hitherto presented, in a degree unequalled since the bulletins of the revolutionary commanders of Frande. On a consideration of dates,hoivever, it will turn out that this . procurante reply amounts only to a military acknowledgment of the notification sent by.Omer.Pacha. The demand might or might not excite indignation in the breast of Count 'Goit schakoff, but in order not to commit himself in any way whatever, he would necessafily refer to St. Petersburgh for instructions. This was fore seen all along at Constantinople, hence the'fifteen days notice. This view is confirmed by the Cologne Gazette, which says that—" Hostilities will not ne cessarily begin even yet, as the Russian com mander-in-chief, in reference to the period fixed by Diner Pacha, meant that he must receive instruc tions from St. Petersburgh." But let me refer to the dates. We know that the summons to evacuate the Principalities was delivered at the Russian head-quarters on the 9th. The fifteen days would therefore expire on the 24th, next Monday.. It is not possible, owing to the distances to be traversed, that supposing 'the Russian commander imme diately forwarded the demand to St. Petersburgh, that he could have had positive instructions in reply, in less:than ten days—that is, until the day on which this letter will be before your readers ; but even if this were practicable, it would be physically impossible that we here in London could know anything about it to-day. But as only a few days would elapse, at the. most, before Gort schakoff would acknowledge the receipt of the de mand, if indeed he did not acknowledge it imme diately, and this is about the time we should hear the result as far as concerned the army. The in ference is clear that the reply is not that from St. Petersburgh, but only that from the General. The Czar, however, as I stated yesterday, was aware of. the nature of the manifesto ; it renders rim furious, and he was said to declare in his fury hat the war should be one of extermination. Taking these circumstances to be on the. whole ,xact, in the French sense of the word, we may an ticipate pretty nearly what, the Cabinet of St'. Pe tersburgh will. say to Omer Pacha's requisition. They will refuse compliance, and war will result. But here diplomacy interposes, seeing that the combatants can effect nothing decisive for five or six months, and we are given to hope that a basis for peace has already been framed. Coincident with it, very large preparations are being made by the interposing powers, whilst we are assured that Austria and Prussia, will maintain strict neutrality. In this state of things, the events themselves point to a contest nominally between Turkey and Russia, but substantially between Russia alone against England, France, and Turkey. Russia has undoubtedly considerable means of annoyance against the W oo torn powerb, but with Austria and Prussia neutral, she cannot kindle a general Euro pean war. The contest will be confined to Asia and the waters of the Black Sea. We have not heard much lately of the efforts of the Greeks to establish themselves at Constanti nople, as a barrier kingdom against the westward encroachments of Russia ; but the Levant mail which arrived the other day, brought us a host of newspapers and pamphlets, winch show that the consummation is yet looked for. One of theSe, "Le Spectateur de L'Orient," a fortnightly peri odical, published at Athens, fell, with others into my hands this morning I do not mean to c.nn• mit either you or myself to the views it puts forth for some of them are extravagant, and others inexpedient : but I may just transcribe the con clusions of a writer who has discussed with con• siderable impartiality and much knowledge; the ifferent probable solutions' of the Eastern ques ion. He says,- Ist, Turkey cannot be saved or sustained .either by civilization, which is contrary to its ssence, nor by returning to barbarism, its nomi- nal condition. 2nd. That its preservation can only be profit able to its powerful neighbour. 3rd. That instead of prolonging its precarious existence, which gives rise to incalculable dangers, the Powers, now they are masters of the situation, ought to brin g it to an end. 4th. That in the interests of the general balance of power, a Christian Empire ought to be founded at Constantinople, sufficiently powerful and compact to resist sudden attacks and external influences ; a civilized and progressive power allied to Russia by religion, and to Western Europe by ideas and interests. Then it was contended, that the Greeks are just the people to be selected for this high purpose. So far as I have been able to observe, I do not see any signs whatever, of these views making progress either in England or France. There is too much jealousy of Russian influence in both countries at the present moment, to admit of their being regarded with much favour. The funds are without material alteration. The annexed intelligence has also been forwarded by submarine telegraph " Omer Paella has declared that vessels sailing under a neutral flag will be allowed to, pass on the Danube till the 25th inst. "In Bessarabia, Bulgaria, and the Danubian Principalities, the smaller rivers and mountain streams are dried up. " The Wallachian Militia, who were detached along the bank of the Danube, have been ordered to march upon Bucharest, where they will act as garvison. " The Russian subjects in Turkey are from the Ist of October to be placed under the protection of Austria." The Parisian - advices of Monday state that the English and Prussian Ambassadors had had a long conference with the French Minister for Foreign Affairs, and there was a talk in the diplomatic circles of a new proposition for an arrangement of the Eastern question by England, France, and Prussia, independently of Austria. A German journal also speaks of a proposition " by the Three Allied Courts," unconnected with the conference of Vienna. " This is the first time, I believe," says the correspondent of a contemporary, "that we have heard of 'the Three Courts.' It is probable, therefore, that something of this kind has been in contemplation ; but the last accounts from Vienna may have modified the intentions of the parties. Up to this moment, however, the French Ministers say that there is still a prospect of maintaining ,av : i peace. I RE - LA - X D (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) DUBLIN, TUESDAY THE FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT. CONCLUSION OF THE INQUEST AT NAAS. At eleven o'clock yesterday morning the Coroner - took his seat on the bench, with Captain Tyler beside him. Several of the Company's directors, and a number of County Kil dare grand jurors were present during the course of the day. At the opening of the proceedings, Dr. Hayes read a letter from the Attorney-General declining to appoint any crown counsel for his assistance. This communication was in answer to one from the •coroner at the commencement of the inquest, which, however, Mr. Brewster did not receive til a few days ago, in consequence of his being in Scotland. The jury having been called over, Mr. Millar was briefly re-examined, with a view of explaining a statement that he had made on a previous day, to the effect that a hand-lamp was not a sufficient signal to stop a train. What he meant was, that it was quite possible for an engine-driver to pass such a light, but if he kept a proper look out he would see everything. Captain Collis, of the Times Steamer, was the next wit ness examined. The depositions of Messrs. Hutchinson, Barrington, and O'Connor, were read over to him, and he cor roborated them. He was questioned by Mr. Fitzgibbon as o.his knowledge 'of steam-engines and signal lights from as capacity as master of a steamer, but nothing in this way naterial to the case was elicited. It was stated by Mr. Fitzgibbon, that Captain Collis was under a mistake as to he danger of the. boiler exploding ; the safety valve was all right, and could prevent that, and. Gass merely got on the mgine to reverse it, when Captain Collis thought it was to blow off the steam. Several officials of the company were then examined relative to the lighting of the tail and side lamps; and from their evidence it appeared that the general managing of the lighting department was in the hands of a Mr. Boake, who was liable to the correction of Mr. Ilberry. Mr. Ilberry, a few days previous to the accident, had given instructions to his clerk, Mr. Haynes, to have a tail lamp sent to Kildare, to be affixed to the express train whenever it was behind its time, and therefore might not arrive in Dub lin till after dusk. These instructions Haynes gave to Boake, and on Monday, the day before the accident, a tail-lamp was sent down to Kildare, with a piece of paper affixed, telling the station master to place " this lamp " on the express train. This was done on Monday, when, however, Haynes seeing the train arrive without side-lights, asked Mr. Ilberry if he intended there should be side-lights as well as a tail-light. Ilberry answered " certainly," and the side-lights were sent down, but without any additional instructions, They were not therefore placed on the train at Kildare, but the tail light was as on the day previous ; that it must have been extinguished in some manner is certain, as all the witnesses were unanimous in swearing there was no tail-light on the rain to which the accident happened. This closed the evidence, after which the jury were ad tressed by Mr. Fitzgibbon, Q.C., on the part of Berry the ruard of the express train, and by Mr. Curran for Gass and )'Nara, the engine-driver and stoker of the goods train. The coroner having then charged the jury, they retired at calf-past four to consider their verdict. Mr. Fitzgerald, when the jury had retired, congratulated the county of Kildare on the mode in which this inquiry had been conducted. With the concurrence of the company, he was anxious to allude to two gentlemen who took an active part on the occasion of this melancholy occurrence. One of the gentlemen, Mr. William Kennedy, displayed an amount of firmness, presence of mind, and foresight, scarcely xedible. Not only did he lend his own personal exertions, out he directed everything to be done that the coolest man ander - the circumstances could have thought of. The other gentleman to whom he alluded was the Hon. Edward Law less, who in like manner assisted, and, as he was informed, placed his house at the service of the sufferers. The children of Mr. and Mrs. M'Swiney, and the child of. Mr. Knapp, were removed to it, and were being taken care of under the superintendence of his good lady. THE VERDICT. _ . . MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS AT MANCHESTER, The jury, after the lapse of several hours, returned into court at half-past seven O'clock. The Coroner, having called over their names, asked whether they had agreed to their verdict. The Foreman replied in the affirmative. The Coroner then read the finding as follows :—" We find that the deceased, Thomas W. Jelly, and others, died at Clownings, in the parish of Whitechurch, and county of Kildare, on Wednesday, the sth day of October, 1853, from injuries received by the collision on the Great Southern and Western Railway on the same day. We find that the said collision was caused by the negligence of James Gass, the engine driver, and 'John O'Hara, the stoker of the pick up and goods train. We, therefore find James Gass and John O'Hara guilty of the manslaughter of the said Thomas W. Jelly." The Foreman read the following statement :—" The jury were about to draw the attention of the directors of the - ireat Southern and Western Railway to some matters which hey think require amendment and alteration in the working 1 their line ; but as they are aware that the Government have ;ent over Lieutenant Tyler, the Government Inspector of Railways, to make au inquiry into the subject, they consider that they exercise a wise discretion in leaving the matter in his hands, satisfied he will make such a report as will effect i 3 xlci..zusaLs. IL. I t 11,13114 and painful investigation to a conclusion, we feel it incum bent on us to state that we have minutely examined the rules and regulations which have beenissued by the directors to their officials. These rules and regulations reflect the highest credit on the judgment of their authors, and are well calculated to secure the lives and property of the passengers. It is our conviction that no culpability can attach to the company on account of the late fatal colli sion, but, on the contrary, we consider them fully entitled to the public confidence which they have hitherto en joyed. "HluTnY ROBART, For self and fellows." Mr. Fitzgibbon said that of course Berry was discharged, there being no finding with respect to him. Coroner—Certainly. The Foreman said that he hoped the coroner would make a r epresentation to the grand jury to have the jury compen sated for loss of time. . The Coroner replied that the grand jury had not the least d that Gass might be admitted to bail. power l hre. iC C nu o tu r h o ae n n e ni r aap s t a pt i el d ire. that if he felt he was legally entitled to take bail, he would tell him most candidly that he would willingly do so ; but he did not think that he had suel power. Gass and O'Hara were then committed to stand their trial at the next assizes of Kildare, on the coroner's warrant. The inquest on the body of Joseph Sherwood, who died at Madame Stephen's Hospital, of . Injuries received by the collision has been further adjourned till Friday next. The four sufferers in the hospital are progressing favour ably, but Mrs. Blucher who still lies at Straffan station, has had a serious turn for the worse. The infant daughter of Mr. Knapps is also in a very precarious state. DEATH OF MAJOR FAIRFIELD.—To-day is announced the death of Major Fairfield, a gentleman much respected here. He was the agent for the extensive estates (amounting to £53,000 per annum,) of the Right Hon. Sydney Herbert, in the County and City of Dublin, and a distinguished member of the Exhibition Comnaittee. He died yesterday morning, shortly after midnight, at his residence, Mount Merrion, Blackrock. CHARGE OF ATTEMPTED POISONING OF SIX CHILDREN.— At College-street Police-office, yesterday, Margaret Mullen, was brought up in custody of Police-constable 174 B, charged with attempt to poison six children, under the circum stances which appear in evidence. • Constable 37 B deposed that, being on duty in Trinity-street, on Sunday last, between two and three o'clock, he was informed that six children had been poisoned in the house No. 1, St. Andrew street. Proceeding immediately to the house, he found the children, whose names were Edward, Charlotte, ana George Graham, Edward Reilly, John M'Dermott, & M. M'Dermott, some in bed and some on the floor, but all retching; they were immediately conveyed by him to Mercer's Hospital, were they were put under the treatment of Dr. Butcher and the resident apothecary. Police-constable 174 B deposed that, being called on by 37 B, he arrested the prisoner on the lobby of the house. She appeared somewhat excited ; she stated she had given the children the contents of a bottle of sugar of lead, for the purpose of making them merry, telling them it was whiskey. One of the children, however, said it was not whiskey. The prisoner, having been duly cautioned, made a statement similar to that mentioned by. 174 B, adding that the " medicine" had been given to her in an hospital, but• that her only motive in giving it to the children was to make merry. The children were, at the time when the poison was administered, playing together in an empty room of the house. In the absence of Dr. But cher and the resident apothecary of the hospital, the prisoner was remanded until this day (Tuesday). -ut MEETING IN THE CORN EXCHANGE. A public meeting of the citizens of Collegiate Church Ward, was held in the Corn Exchange, Manchester, on Monday night, for the purpose of hearing an address from Mr. James Collinge (one of the candidates for the represen tation of the ward in the city Council), who stated in a circu lar, a copy of - which was sent to every burgess in the ward, that "he would be glad to answer any legitimate question' that might be fairly put to him." The meeting was nume rously attended. • The chair was occupied by . Mr. GEORGE COOPER, Esq., of Churchrstreet, who, in opening the business of the meeting, stated that he had been requested by a number of the citi zens of the ward to introduce Mr. Collinge as a very suitable person to represent the Collegiate Church Ward in the City Council, and that he had very great pleasure in doing so. As for himself, personally, his object was not to speak in favour of one candidate more than he would for another, thinking it the better plan to let each rest upon his own merits. Mr. COLLINGE, the candidate in opposition to the return of the sitting councillor, Mr. Craston, then addressed the meeting at great length. He said he thought it was im portant in the first instance, that the meeting should under stand their real position, and for that purpose he would take the liberty of making a statement or two, bearing upon the conduct of the elections, from the Municipal Election Act. The first has reference to the previous qualifications, for a person who aspired at the office of councillor ; and the next was, that the Municipal Act required, that the whole pro ceedings be disposed of in one day, between 7 a.m: and 4 p.m. And, therefore, strictly speaking, it was a breach of the law to hold any meetings previous to the day of election, and even on that day the persons entitled to vote were required to assemble openly, if they met at all. Mr. Collinge went on to state that it was not correct to say that it was factious on the 'part of any citizen to refuse to attend private meetings held for electioneering purposes. He contended, that the meeting held in the Millstone publlc-house, Tho - ma's-street, at which (it was 'waved, Mr. Craston, the retiring' councillor, should be re-elected) was not a public meeting within the meaning of the act, but that it was a hole-and-corner meeting, because it was held .in a public house, but not in a public place of meeting, such as the, Corn Exchange, in which they were then assemb led. ( Hear, hear). Mr. Collinge stated that he had several reasons for coming forward on the present occasion. One was, that there were a body of intelligent and influential citizens in the ward, who thought they were fairly entitled to take a part in the management - of their own local affairs and who ought to interest themselves in the return of at least one member, (out of three representatives in the council from the ward) who were identified with warehouse property, that description of property bearing a vast preponderance over the other de scription of property in the ward. The assessments for rates in the ward, so far as regarded shops, have no proportion, he contended, to the assessments upon warehouses in the ward. The firm who had a large warehouse in his (Mr. Collinge's) own locality paid, he understood, a short time ago, no less a sum than £4OO per annum for poor rates alone. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Collinge went on to say that he saw no reason why such citizens as Mr. Cooper should be denied the oppor tunity of taking a share in the management of th eir own business in local matters, but that from what he knew of Mr. Cooper, he was certain he would suffer a great deal, perhaps enormous evils, in the way of taxation, sooner than submit to the clamour, badgering, and abuse of a contested election. (Hear, hear.) On the other hand, he (Mr. Col lingo) would say, with equal confidence, that should the citi zens see fit to place Mr. Cooper in the important position of their representativ, he (Mr. Cooper) would be as resolute in the defence and maintenance of their rights and independence as he would be gentle in enforcing those rights and claims. And that would readily be admitted by all who were ac quainted with Mr. Cooper's general principles —with his high sense of justice, with his coolness of temper, and with his soundness of judgment, in all the trasactions and relations of life. (Hear, hear.) Another reason why he (Mr. Collinge) came forward on this occasion was this, that there were citizens residing in the ward who asserted that the local taxation was not only excessive, but that the town did not receive corresponding advantage in return. (Hear, hear.) In order to obtain information upon the point, he had written directly and indirectly to the following places :—London, Leeds, Liverpool, Sheffield, Birmingham, Stockport, Rochdale, and Bolton. And he was satisfied after a careful examination of the answers he had received, which he held in his hand, that all was correct to' say that the local taxation of Manchester was excessive, especially the indirect taxation, for he found that the citi zens of Manchester were paying for gas considerably more than the inhabitants at Sheffield, Leeds, Liverpool, Roch dale, and Bolton. (Hear, hear). He was the more surprised to find, after the professions which had been made, that the indirect taxation of Manchester exceeded that of any other place with which he was acquainted. He could not recon cile that with all free-trade theories that had been promul gated, for he should have thought that had the corporation been sincere in entertaining such views, they would have More directly acted upon them. (Hear, hear). Another reason for his coming forward on the present occasion was this, that some of the burgesses of the ward were of opinion that they ought to have a change in the constitution of the Council, so far as the representation of the ward was con cerned, as there was not wanting evidence to shew that a annipstic (pipstion lind been 'or a lone time made a rut ) , uue, tutO. WOURI in au piotmoincy unless the electors were resolved to assert their indepen dence. (Hear, hear). And the worst feature connected with the matter, was the fact, that since Manchester became a corporation, the councillors, with two or three exceptions, elected for that ward had been the nominees of gentlemen in office at the .time of nomination. Thus, the Town Council was virtually ',allowed to elect its own members. Was that becoming the dignity and independence of Englishmen, and of patriotic subjects and citizens? (Hear, of, For these reasons and many others, he concurred in the opinion with 'hose who thought that an occasional exchange of repre -datives in the City Council would be both wholesome and 'ficial. (Cheers). GENTLEMAN, whose name W 3 did not ascertain, asked .her Mr. Collinge, if elected, would bringin or support a motion in the council for the abolition of the office held by Captain Willis. Mr. COLLINGE said, if he understood the matter rightly, Captain Willis was the chief constable of the city, and therefore, he could no more support, or originate a motion )r the abolition of the office, than he could a motion in your of the removal of a merchant or manufacture? from 3ng the head of his own establishment, (Cheers.) The was as essential as the other, each in his own place [ear, hear.) Mr. Collinge was then asked whether he would support motion for the reduction of the gas rate ? He said he ould most certainly feel it his duty to do so. Mr. SHEPPARD enquired, for his own guidance, and for e guidance of those who acted with him, whether Mr. allin g e intended going to the poll. (A laugh.) Mr. . Col age :My reply is—most certainly. On the motion of Mr. BERRIE (Oldham-street) seconded r Mr. Burton, (Oldham-street,) the motion was unani ously agreed to, and the meeting shortly afterwards coke up. . ST. JAMES'S WARD.—On Monday night a public meeting of the electors of the ward was held in the Railway Inn, Deansgate, when the opposing candidates, Messrs. Thomas Goadsby and Charles Clarke, addressed .the meeting at con siderable length. At the close of the meeting the show of hands were in favour • of Mr. Goadsby,. the councillor who retires by rotation. OXFORD WARD.—A meeting of the committee for pro moting the return of Mr. James Blake, was held on Monday night at the Fleece Inn, Blown-street, when Mr. Macbeth occupied the chair. The canvassers made statements as to the returns in their books, which were of a very cheering character, and were received with the greatest acclamation. BANK OF MANCHESTER.—The Annual General Meeting of the proprietors of this bank was held yesterday (Tuesday) forenoon, at the banking-house of the company, Brown-street, when the annual report was presented and directors elected for the ensuing year in the place-of those who retired. The proceedings were strictly of a private character. FlRE.—Yesterday morning information was brought to the Town's Yard, Clarence-street, Man chester; that the premises of Mr. Nowell, who keeps the Exchange Dining Rooms, St. Mary's-gate, were on 'fire. An engine, with a strong body of firemen, was taken to the spot, when it was ascertained that the fire had been extinguished through the exertions of two policemen. The fire, it appears, originated in and was con fined to the kitchen, where a quantity of clothes, which had been hung up, to dry, took fire during the night. The damage done is trifling. PROPOSED DISTRICT AGRICULTURAL, POULTRY, AND HORTICULTURAL EXHIBITION AT SHREWSBURY.—Yester day, at twelve o'clock, a public meeting was held at the Guild Hall, Shrewsbury, the Right Worshipful the Mayor ALARMING RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Sunday last in the chair for the purpose of considering the desirability an accident occurred on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Rail- of establishing an annual cattle show, and horticultural way, which had nearly been attended with most disastrous show, also an exhibition of poultry, at Shrewsbury.—The results.

FR A N.O E The Moniteur, in its non-official columns, con tradicts the statement given by the Constitutionnel, that orders had been sent to Toulon to prepare ships for the conveyance of troops to the Dar danelles. The Toulonnais of the 14th (the official journal published at 'Toulon), however, fully con firms the fact announced by the Constitutionnel. The nomination of Prince Paskewitch to the command-in-chief of the Russian army destined to act against Turkey, is established beyond a doubt. The Patrie says that several Austrian and Prus sian officers now employed by the government of Turkey have expressed a desire to remain in that service, even at the less of their nationality, rather than return home. Nearly 200 political arrests are said to have taken place on Sunday evening in Paris. Great preparations are making at Fontainebleau for the reception of the Emperor and. Empress of France. The visit of their Imperial Majesties to Com peigne has been productive of much benefit to that town, owing to the number of visitors who have been attracted thither to obtain a glance of thope illustrious personages. The Emperor, accompanied by a numerous suit, went out shooting on Friday last, and proved a very successful marksman. On Saturday his Majesty took part in a stag hunt. Her Majesty, attended by several ladies, were pre sent at the first day's sport, in a char-it-bane. The Emperor has commanded several improvements to be made in the town of Compeigne. The funds fell on Monday, owing to the news of the declining state of the English funds. The Three per Cents, closed at 72f. 60c., and the Four . and-a Half per Cents. at 99f. 40c. SWITZEILAND.

ITALY SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY MORNING.—The st ship nansa, one of the German line of steam-ships between Bremen and the United States, has put into this port for. coals on her way from New York to Bremen. She left the former port on the 4th inst., and her advices have been an ticipated via Liverpool. The Sydney, Captain Callaton, from London, bound for Port Louis, Maurittius, was totally lost on Con nonier's Point on the 22nd July ; crew'and about 350 tons of cargo were saved, but much valuable machinery for sugar mills lost ; 7,0001. or 8,0001. was fortunately got off the wreck.

They were beginning to plan the invasion of the neighbouring States for the purpose of rousing the population to insurrection. To that effect the Republican Committee had widely circulated a proclamation through several provinces of Italy, and a Turin journal,. the Voce della Liberta, contended in one of its last numbers that.the Piedmontese government ought to alloW the emigrants liberty to act. DR. NEWMAN'S LECTURES DR. NEwMAN delivered the second of his Course of Lec tures at the Catholic Institution last night. A very large audience assembled. Dr. Newman proceeded with the his tory of the Tartar, or Scythian race, from the expulsion of p or tions of them by' a monarch of China, from the neigh bourhood of that country, until they arrived at the Danube, and terrified the hitherto invincible Goths. The physiolo gical characteristic of their race, the lecturer exemplified in the description history has given of their great chief, Attila who is pourtrayed as having a large head, swarthy corn dexion, small, deep-sunken eyes, a few hairs in place o. ieard, short square body, and enormous strength. The lea surer then went through the career of Attila, and describe( Cis extraordinary rule, for which scarcely any -parallel cal be found in history, over the Tartar and German race together, his empire extending from the Chinese extremit of Asia, to the Rhine, and over as far as the Baltic Sea an , Sweden. His devastations through Asia and Europe fiver minutely narrated, until his arrival in Italy, where, havin laid waste Aquiea, Verona, Vicenza, and other cities, an driven numbers of the inhabitants to take refuge in tl islands at the mouth of the Adriatic, to which fact the grei imperial city of Venice owed its origin; his progress wa stayed before he arrived at Rome, by the intervention of St Leo. The meeting of Attila and St. Leo, who came as tin envoy of Italy, commemorated by Raphael's painting in flu Vatican, was described by the lecturer, the interview whicl took place, and the surprising persuasive effect of the look and speech of St. Leo, which prevailed upon Attila to stay his-course, and desist from reaching Rome. Having detailed the principal events of the career of Attila, and his death, - T l / 4 1 . ..urm fin won+ on to tho next Tront nnint at which the Tartar mow wore g athored under one head, the Sway alai conquests of Zhingis Khan. The conquests of this ruler, which spread over Tartary, China, Persia, Siberia, Hindos tan, Asia Minor, Russia, Hungary, Poland, and indeed the greater part of the world then nown, which his descendants held for more than sixty years after his death, were briefly glanced at. Zhingis Khan is said to have been able to bring into the field 700,000 men, and to have left upon one battle plain 160,000 dead bodies. The lecturer remarked upon the extraordinary daring and indomitable perseverance which this monarch displayed; and alluded to his having once taken his whole army into the deserts of Tartary, and kept them there, without any regular commissariat, for a period of five months, alone maintained by their success in the chase, and his extraordinary passage, with his whole army, over the mountains which formed the barriers of Hindostan. The lecturer also dwelt upon the extraordinary cruelty which Zhingis Khan had displayed throughout his career and gave several instances of the massacres which he caused of the inhabitants of whole cities. As Attila had boasted that where the hoof of his horse had trodden, the grass never grew, so Zhingis made use of the boast that when he razed a city it was levelled to the ground so completely that his horse could gallop over the place where it had stood without stumbling. Next the lecturer traced out the career and onquests of Tamerlana, or Timour the Tartar, whose cruelty .e described as ever surpassing that of his predecessors, and rho massacred at Delhi 100,000 people, built a wall of 0,000 skulls at Ispahan, sacked and burned to the ground Lshacar, Ispahan, Bagdad, Aleppo, Damascus, Smyrna, and iumberless other cities. When reading of these things, the ecturer observed, one appeared rather to hear of the deeds )f some monstrous antidiluvian giant, than of a man who ived, as Timour had done only 450 years ago. The ecturer then exemplified the characteristics of the Tartar mce. No power had ever succeeded in converting them to Christianity. The effects of successive Popes of St. Louis, the ninth King of France, and of sovereigns of Spain,• to convert them through the agency of missionaries, had been in vain. Here the lecturer passingly touched upon the history of Marco Polo, who left Venice with his family, and lived twenty five years among the Tartars, and who, after hi s r eturn to Venice having been made prisoner in Genoa, wrote there his celebrated history, the veracity of which was long denied, until travellers within the last half century had es tablished it, and it was now held as remarkable for truth, as then for its supposed falsehoods. This history, the lecturer stated and the narratives of missionaries and others, exactly bore out the statements of former historians, regarding the Tartar race. Having spoken of their cruelty, the lecturer illustrated by several instances the gluttony and the barbaric pomp whicl characterized them. Their feasts, served up with the moss gorgeous profusion of gold and silver, but consisting of the flesh of horses, and even of dogs, foxes, and wolves, were described from the narratives of different travellers and embas sadors. Returning to the history of the three great con querors, whose career formed the leading topic of his dis course, 'Dr. Newman remarked upon the singularity of the fact that each of these men unlike the greater number of those who by sudden victories acquired immense sway, died at the full height of his fame and in the possession of the most extended power. Yet it was not less remarkable that a misgiving seemed to have seized upon each, a shadow to have passed over him, before his death. This was exempli fied in the sudden and surprising effect which the intercession of St. Leo had in checking the apparently' untamabl( ferocity of Attila. Of Zhingis it was recorded, that shortll before his death, he declared he would build up . every city which he had destroyed. Compunction was upon him — but it was much easier to destroy than to construct. 11€ could pull down, but he could not build up—his ruins re mained to this day—he went home qnd died. Timour when an old man, was going to China to pursue his conquests there ; after splendid success in other parts of Asia. He came to Aleppo, which he burned down. While the flames wer( raging, and the shrieks of the dying were sounding in MI ears, he called one of his officers, and declared that he wa not a man of blood, and called God to witness, that never in all his wars had he been the aggressor. He died soon after in the city of Samarcand. All the deeds of these men, the lecturer observed, made it seem but too true that the best effects of what was deemed earthly glory, were 'but a .poor imitation of the ambition of the So.fon of Milton. • Shortly after the death of Timour, arose John Paskkwitch, • the founder of the Russian empire. Just as the power of ; the Tartars fell,, so the power of Russia began, and having brought the audience to this point, the lecturer concluded his discourse for the night. Dr. Newman will deliver the third of his course of lectures eam on Monday evening. ACCIDENTS. — Richard Taylor, of Highfield - s treet, labourer, was yesterday working at the London and North Western Railway, when a weight of 601bs. fell from an up per storey on his head, producing a severe scalp wound. — .William Clarkson, whilst working in the Queen's Dock, yesterday, was severely scalded by some boiling pitch spilling over him.
