Wive buyers ore already compelled to sub-
mit at each settling are considered to
indicate an approaching reaction, and than the
dealers in French railway shares in London follow
the rise en that side with great caption. Should it
prove true, as repored, that the harvest in France
does not realise tLe anticipations previously enter-
tained—an apprehension which derives some con-
firmation from the ascent purchases of corn cn French
account in the London market—additional reason will
be afforded fur holding aloof from any undue specula-
tive excitement in that great field of gambling—the
Paris bourse.

Consols opened at 901 to a for money and Thurs-
day's settling, and closed at 90a to 1. The

" Monsieur le Ministre,—l have the honour to
forward herewith a copy of the correspondence which
bits passed between me and Prince Gortchakoff re-
specting the removal of the wounded and the burial
of the dead after the affair of August 16.
"The fire of the Russian batteries on Mac-
kenzie heights had been unaccountably and wrongly
directed upon 04f movable ambulances, just as they
had collected those of our adversaries who were
still lying upon the field of battle after our ti-
radleurs had ceased their fire. The c.onimoodants of
those batteries have given an inadmissible explana-
tion to their general, to whom I had reported their
conduct. That conduct is not honoutable to the
enemy's artillery.
" In seeking to palliate the faults of his subordi-
nates, Prince Gortchakoff has nevertheless thought it
his duty to render a complete homage to the huma-
nity displayed by our soldiers on this occasion. They
have been, in fact, as generous after ihe victory as
they were courageous in the combat, and lam proud
to command such men.
" Accept, M. le 111e.rechal, &c.,
PELISSIER."

The coffeepot:de:toe between the Generale then
follows in the following order:
" GENERAL PELISSIER TO PRINCE
GORTCHAKOFF.

" Head Quarters before Sebastopol, August 16.
" M. le General-en-Chef,—l lose no time in for-
warding to your Excellency a portfolio containing
property, and also a letter, which, upon examinition,
appears to have belonged to General Read, command-
ing a Russian army corps.
• I have reason to believe that the body of this
general officer lies on the field of battle, and orders
have been given for making a diligent search for it.
"Accept, &c., " PELISSIER."

ANOTHER NEW FINANCIAL MEASURE.
ST. PETERSBURG, Die 2.5.
As a general rale, the Russian journals are strictly
prohibited from publishing any personal news about
any of the members of the imperial family. In all
cues of births, deaths, and marriages, it is the Czar
himself who acquaints his loving subjects with the
news by means of a manifesto to the nation. Under
these circumstances, it is not to be wondered at that
the newspapers here have not dared to say a word
about the alarming illness of the Empress; but to.
day it has slipped out for the first time in rather a
startling manner. In communicating the fact of the
arrival, the day before yesterday, of the Grand
Dukes Nicholas and Michael from the army in the
Crimea, " on a visit to their sick mother," it goes on
to add, " the health of the Empress is improyingr
from which it appears that she is still unwelL It is
privately circulated here, in well-informed circles,
that her illness is more a disease of the mind than
the body, and mainly brought on from her intense
anxiety to prevent a rupture between the Czar and
King Cliquot.
Another new financial measure just published will
confirm my former statement of the desperate state
of the Russian treasury, and show to what straits the
Czar is put to find money for carrying on the war.
It appears in the shape of an imperial ukase, and
levies an annual tax of 500 silver roubles (nearly
801.) on all manufactories of tobacco and cigars, and
in order to restrict such fabrications from being car.
tied on u hitherto in private houses for their domestic
consumption, a tax of 300 silver roubles is imposed
on such private establishments. It must be gratify.
Mg to the Russians to get an official insight into the
mysteries of their government exchequer from the
following preamble to the ukase :—" In consequence
of the imperative necessity of improving our finances
in the present critical state of affairs by imposing new
taxes on our liege subjects, we, Nicholas," &c.

The Cologne Gazette says :
Hitherto Ruasia hu brought on the theatre of war only
the third of her army. In fact, Russia has placed in line
the 3rd, 4th, sth, and 6th infantry corps of the active army,
with the corps of dragoons of the reserve and the corps of
the Caucasus. The let and 2nd corps of infantry, the two
corps of cavalry of the reserve, the corps of the guards and
of the grenadiers, have not appeared hitherto on the theatre
of war; she keeps them to oppose Austria, and tonne besides
an army of reserve of 300,000 men, commanded by General
Tcheodayeff. In the spring there will appear on the line of
operations an army subdivided into sin principal parts; the
army of the North in the Baltic provinces, the army of the
West in Poland, the army of the Dneister sad Danube, that
is to say, the army of the South of Prince Gortchakoff, the
army of the Crimea of Prince Meotchikoff, the army of re-
serve of Tcbeodayeff, and the army of the Caucasus of Ge-
neral Montavieff.

STATE AND PROSPECTS OF THE WAR.

IN General CANZOBUYS despatch, which we
published yesterday, the withdrawal of the Russians
from the left bank of the Tammy& is attributed,
mojocturally, to " the debarkation of Turkish troops
still going on at Enpatoria." A telegraphic despatch'
from Vienna which we publish today, and which
probably emus originally from Odessa, speaks of a

concentration of the Russian forces on ihe-north side
of Sebastopol, with a view to repel an expected attack
from that quarter. Them concurring statements
would seem to indicate that one object for which
Turkish troops have been drafted to the Crimea
from the army of the Danube has been to en.
able the Allies to complete the investment of
Sebastopol. In the approaching completion of
this operation have probably originated the
confident assertions which have been put in circula-
tion respecting a determination to storm the place
without longer delay. Circumstances do indeed
appear to foreshadow the near approach of such a
dreadful struggle, but under more favourable auspices
than some croakers would have us believe. Orirs
PAULA Seems at one time to have turned restive; but
it would be hard on the Turkish Generaliasinto not
to tolerate his being unreasonable at times as well as
his neighbours. And our latest reliable accounts
from Constantinople represent the great body of
French and ilnglish officers as noway' despondent—
as looking forward to a "tough job," bat one which
they feel confident they can accomplish.
The City was visited yesterday by a report that,
an early conclusion of pesos is certain. Our in-
formants, we have had occasion to learn by expo•
Hence, have Seen/ to know what is intended and
hoped by men high in office. On the present 00M1-
Men we most, however, be excused for remaining in
the belief that "the wish has been father to the
thought." The intelligence received from St. Peters-
burg by the best-informed Greek houses is that the
EMPEROR is obstinate to do or suffer the utmost.
This, it is true, may be a blind ; but it is consistent
with the character of Nicriotss, and with the clang
of preparation which resounds from the interior of
Russia. The most infallible means whereby the
French and English Governments can accelerate the
return of peace is steadily to banish it at present
from all their mlculations.—Daily News.

prejudiced by the reaction in Consols. The Six per

r receded at four o'clock to 791 to; ex div., being only
per cent. above the final range of yeatuday. The
new Four per Cent. Guaranteed Loan ranged be-

of the French Loan was quoted par to # prem.
At Amsterdam yesterday (Tuesday) the exchange
on London wu quoted at 11.87 i, at short; at Vienna,
10.68; at Berlin, 6.20/; and at Hamburg, 18.6 i.
The minibus are publtebed of 434 bands, repre-
senting a total amount of 47,6001., of the Peruvian
3 per cent. loan of 1,703,3001., which have been can-
celled. The actual sum applicable for this redemption
was 26,2341. 6s. A calculation will show that the
avenge p-ice paid for these Peruvian 3 per cent.
bonds must have been between 66 and 65g. The last
price marked in the Stock Exchange is 62.

William Sonia, a middle-aged man by trade a brick.
layer, was charged with haying caused Ile death of Michael
Leary, a labourer, by indulag him 0 drink chloride of
zinc fer ale.
It appeared that the deceased had been some time suffer-
ing from the effects of the pernicious doe. In the course
of the last week his condition became such worse, and his
death being evidently sear at hand, foe magistrate went
and took his dying statement. The par creature presented
a most shocking appearance. The folowing wee his depo-
skim :—.. To the best of my knowlaire, about four months
ego, I was at work with the prisoner, and was his labourer.
We were at work in the back p.d of Mr. Brain, the
leather-cutter, in Bowie-et:rest, Wocuriek. The man had
been at work at the duet. We were going to another job,
and the prisoner says to me—' I ham had some
gin this morning, sad there's some ale is the
bottle that stands by the hue.' The bottle wee stand-
ing chose by the fosse. No other aide was there. I did not
know what was in it, or who bright it there. I went
beck to the bottle. When he told me there woe ale is it I
said, . Is there ?' and he said I night as well go mad have

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Duo. 18.
I mentioned in my last that the news of Austria
having ratified by treaty, on the 2nd instant, her
adhesion to the cause of the allies, had been trans-
mitted by telegraph to the French embassy on the
9th, and 24 hours later to M. do Bruck. This im-
portant event, however, was kept a profound secret
at the Austrian Legation till the arrival of the post
on Thursday last, and was not hailed with much
satisfaction, it is presumed, by some of the officials,
whose political tendencies are well known to be
adverse to the Western Powers. " Their only brilliant
exploits since the commencement of the war," one
of these gentlemen, if I am rightly informed,
was heard to remark facetiously, " have been
the capture of Bomarsund, and that of the Russian
poesesuons at Pas!" Our latest 'deices from the
Crimea are of the 12th inst.; the works of the French
army at that date were complete, but our own
unfortunately still defective, and every possible
assistance was being afforded by our brave allies
to accelerate their progress. Oen. Canrobert more-
over, announces, respecting the strength of his own
batteries, that there were 160 woes of heavy ord-
nance in position. extending over a considerable
range of the investing lines, and he seems to consider
it unlikely that the place can long resist against this
formidable array of artillery. It was even thought
that in cue of the British works not being sufficiently
advanced to co-operate within a short delay, the
general had resolved to commence the attack single-
handed, with the fullest confidenx in the result.
The French force, including the reinforcements
which had arrived up to the date of these despatches,
amounted in all to 60,000 available troops. The
British since the battle of Likermann have been
strengthened by the arrival of about 7,000 men,
making a total amount of about 22,000 at the present
moment

There is a report in circulation that the Vladimir
has captured a British transport laden with 15,000
rounds of ordnance ammunition, but there is no men.
tion of the incident in our latest intelligence.
General Montebello arrived yesterday from the
Crimea, and is expected to return to France in a
few days, with all the details and important informa-
tion relative to the operations at Sebastopol. To-day
he visited the French hospitals, and distributed
among the wounded heroes 50,000 f., as a souvenir
from his august and munificent master.
The Boys/ Albert arrived here on the 15th inst.
with 2,000 men, and proceeded without delay up to
the Black Sea. Prince Napoleon, since the arrival of
Cenral Montebello with a letter from the Bnapetoe
Width, his imperial highness to return to the camp
as mat as circumstanoss permit, is again, it appears,
rather eat of sorb. The fact is, little podtire
known about this matter, as the prma moo then
has kept his chamber, and reosind very few viatica.
