No. 1610.] TUESDAY, SEP andard Office, Two o'clock, p.m - ne ship Marco Polo, Captain Forbes, arrived at this port this morning, from Melbourne, having been only six months in performing the voyage out and home. [BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.] THE EASTERN QUESTION, The Times publishes a correct copy of the Earl of Cla rendon's despatch of the 13th July, and says :—" The true position of England and her allies is that of mediators in defence of a specific policy ; and, thotgh the British Par liament did not hesitate to protest with becoming spirit against the aggressive policy of Russa, that government is not the less bound to exercise a alutary control, if it can subdue the warlike propensities es! Turkey." CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 29.—The public are wait ing impatiently for a manifesto from the Sultan, in which his Highness will expl a i n th e position of Turkey with respect to the other Powers. The Egyptian troops are to be reviewed by the Sultan, and afterwards marched to Schumla. The Porte has contracted for 300,000 fur cloaks for the army. It is again stated that Lord Strat ford de Redcliffe has sent in his resignation to the British Government, and that he expects an answer by the 19th of September. VIENNA, SEPT. 9.—The nevspaper Wanderer has letters from Jassy to the 30th of August, stating that the Consuls of France and Great Britain had given notice of their departure, and indeed they Nave already left the city. The public are panic struck. It is said that General Luders, at the head of a fresh corps of Russian troops, is marching upon Moldavia. The cholera is making pro gress in Bessarabia. PARIS, MONDAY.—The Moniteur contains another denial of the statement made by the foreign journals, that large quantities of corn have been purchased by the French Government. The purchase (says the Moniteur) of 4 15,000 hectolitres, made about six weeks ago in Eng land for the army and navy, is the only fact of the kind which can have furnished pretence for such an allegation. Beyond this purchase, which was made for the express Purpose of not influencing the home market, the Govern ment has never once thought of meddling either directly or indirectly with any operations in the grain market.—A cabinet council was held at St. Cloud on Sunday. The Emperor presided, and all the ministers were present.—At the Bourse, owing to the financial measures taken by the Government, there was again a decline. Threes' closed at 77 35 ; Four-and-Halves', 101 30. BERLIN, S EPT. 9. - T he measures taken by the police against forestallers of corn produced a great sensation. Twenty persons were excluded from the Bourse for fore stalhng ; and preliminary legal proceedings were com menced against them. ODESSA, SEPT. 2.—Wheat, 2s.

Egypt, from Demerara, at Deal, 12th instant LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET. -THIS DAY, The receipts of English and Irish produce into this port since Tuesday last are still very inconsiderable ; and al though, compared with the immense arrivals of foreign Grain into London, our supplies from abroad during the past week are light, we have to note a moderately fair im port of Wheat, chiefly American, and partly from the Black Sea and Mediterranean, with a tolerably good supply of States, Canadian, and Spanish Flour, and of Beans from Egypt and Pillau, exclusive of several parcels of Indian Corn from the east of Europe ; the exports hence during the same period exceeding those of last week. There was a very full attendance of buyers, both country millers and local dealers, at this day's market, and a very active demand was experienced for Wheat, at an advance of 3d to 4d per 701 b. on the prices of this day week, being a full recovery of the fall then experienced. There was also an active demand for Flour at an advance of about is per barrel. Oats were ld per bushel higher ; and Oatmeal was inquired for at 6d to 9d advance. Indian Corn was in more active demand. Beans and Peas may be quoted is per quarter higher. Other descriptions were also held at advanced prices. SINGULAR DEATH. — A miller, named Carr 4, at Duclair, was occupied in pouring wheat into the hopper of his mill when the end of his cravat caught in a part of the machinery, and he was instantaneously strangled. THE COMET which has lately been visible has served a priest not far from Warsaw with materials for a very curious sermon. After having summoned his congrega tion together, although it was neither Sunday nor festi val, and shown them the comet, he informed them that this was the same star that had appeared to the. Magi at the birth of our Saviour, and that it was only visible now in the Russian Empire. Its appearance on this occasion was to intimate to the Russian eagle that the time was now come for it to spread out its wings and embrace all mankind in one orthodox soul-sanctifying Church. He told them that the star was now standing immediately over Constantinople, and explained that the nucleus indi cated its sorrow at the delays of the Russian army in pro ceeding to its destination, &c. THE BALMORAL ESTATES. — Great improvements have been made on• the Balmoral estates since last year ; the arable and pastoral lands, under the able management of Dr.Robertson,Commissioner. to his Royal Highness Prince Albert, have been brought into a highly promising state, while the hunting grounds and deer forest are in a fair way to become the best in Scotland. The moral and social wants of the tenantry have been especially cared for, the Queen having given command that the poorest families shall have the blessings of education secured to them, and their domestic wants fully supplied. The new palace begins to make some progress, but the contractor l;as three years to finish it, and it promises to be a very handsome building.
