SUPPLEMENT TO TEE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1853. EASTERN WAR. PARTS, THURSDAY. —A private letter from St. Petersburg, of the 19th, affirms that the exchange of the ratifications of an offensive and defensive treaty between the governments of the Shah of Persia and Russia, took place on the evening of the 18th inst. At Constantinople it was expected that in the meeting of the Divan on the 22nd, the question of an armistice would be negatived. The refusal to renew the old treaties in any way whatever is not positive, and hopes of negoci ations are consequently entertained at Vienna. It is stated that the Ulemas had refused to sup ply the Turkish Government with the amount of money they require, if a loan cannot be raised abroad. The restrictions imposed on the importations of raw Cotton from Great Britain are abolished. With respect to Yarn, no change will be made at present. Onessa.—Telegraphic advices report an extraor dinary rise in the Wheat market, on the 24th, coupled with very extensive transactions. Freights also advanced. The movement may probably be attributed chiefly to the firmness of prices iu this country and in France, but it may also have been partly owing to the receipt of further news on the war question. THE BOURSE dull at the opening; closed with a rise. There was a rumour of the Sultan having authorised Redschid Pasha to negociate for peace. Threes closed at 74f. 30c. ; Four-and-a-half per Cents., 1011. THE MINISTRY. MEETING OF PARLIAMENT. At the Council, on Thursday, Parliament was Prorogued from January 3rd, to Tuesday, Janu ary the 31st, then to meet for dispatch of busi ness. AUSTRALIAN MAILS.—The London mails of Feb. 4 th, will be despatched by the screw steamer Bosphorus. THE ARMY.— The Herald hears in every quarter that there is nothing but confusion at the Horse Guards. Other resignations are talked of. In fact such is the state of things there, that nothing but a change of the head of the department can restore order, and place matters on a proper footing.
