THE STRIKE AT MANCHESTER.

The strike of spinners and pieoers at Manchester
continues, but at one of the mills siz operatives resumed I
week on Thursday, and three more on Friday. Ttie was at
the mill of Mr. J. Clarke, in Helena-street, and the cense-
queues was that great ezcitemeat prevailed on Friday
among the turnouts, and on Friday at noon one of the
knobeticks" was followed from the mill to his house, aid
assailed with threats and abuse. In retniniag from his
dinner atones were thrown at him. On Saturday, Thomas
Limerick, • spinner, was brought before the magistrates
charged with having taken a leading pert in this intimida-
tion and violence. A spinner named William Outteridge
stated that he was working at Mr. Clarke's mill, and left it
at one o'clock to go home to dinner. lie was followed by the
prisoner Limerick and others, who asked him if he meant to
leave his work and join the strike ? He said he did not, and
they then attacked him, and chased him to the door of his
house in Branson-street. The prisoner remained under his
front window, threatening him, from ten minutes put Ito
a quarter before 2 o'clock. He was again attacked on
returning to work, and stones were thrown at him. Hs
had known the prisoner two years, and could not be Mil•
taken in his identity. The prisoner threatened him with
usgeencie, if it were seven years before it could be taken.
Oatteridge's wife corroborated his statement, and spoke to
Limerick's identity, and said Limerick told her if
her husband came out of his house to return to
work they would kill him. For the defence three
witnesses were called to prove an alibi. Mr. Mende,
the megistrate, after hearing the evidence, said the
defence had proved too much ; they bad proved that the
prisoner was in two places at once. The bench had no
doubt of the fats, and could not permit gross intimidation
and violence like this. The operatives had a tight to turn
out and to get highet wages if they wield, but they must
give to others the same liberty they asserted for themselves.
The prisoner was sentenced to one calecdu month's impri-
sonment, with hard labour. It is said that Outmode col-
lected for the turnouts last week afforded a dividend only of
a shilling each pampa

ried on by parties who profess to have faith in the
prospects of pesos. The large arrival of Australian
gold is also regarded with satisfaction, u it will at
least check the effiux from the Bank. On the other
hand, it is now generally recognised that a supply of
stock is being thrown upon the market either by the
Bank of England or by government. The state of
the Treasury balances at the Bank continues to excite
a good deal of attention. Although the payments
on the 16,000,0001. loan are now completed, the
aggregate of public deposits is only 5,344,7534,
being 1,215,661/. less than at the corre-
sponding period of tut year. To meet the divi-
dends in January, 1855, Mr. Gladstone was compelled
to effect heavy sales of savings banks stock. The
sum standing at the credit of the Chancellor of the
Exchequer is now much smaller than last year ; the
state of the market for Exchequer Bills preclude' the
expectation that any considerable amount of these
securities can be disposed of; and the general com-
mercial demand for money at the Bank is active. All
these considerations lead to a belief that large sale.
of stock on government account are probable. We
learn, as an interesting fact, that some parcels of
Exchequer Bills, which Mr. Gladstone obtained
authority to issue last year, and which have now
fallen due, have recently been paid in for revenue.
At Frankfort Austrian stock has risen con-
siderably.

STATE FRAUDS Di NAPLES.

(71011 Otl OWN

NAPLES, Dia z&.
As I feared would be the cue, the change of
ministers has produced no change in the financial
system so injuriously adopted and acted upon in this
kingdom. The great fraud continues, nay has been
extended. For on the 13th instant an order of the
minister was published in the Giornale U.iiriale,
by which the mint price of silver is again lowered
about two per cent.; that is to say, from 1.301 to
1.27 98-100 per ounce. The consequences will be
that the exchange will be lowered again, the liabili-
ties of the foreign debtor will be increased, the value
of the products of the soil and the industry of the
entire kingdom will be depressed, and commercial
operations rendered still more insecure and uncertain.
By this recent alteration 1,000 five franc pieces will
now purchase only 880 dollars instead of nearly 1,000.
Not the least remarkable feature in this idiotic leer
.lation is that this diminution in the price of silver is
made at the very moment that it is becoming wane,
and in rising in value in all neighbouring countries.
Nor must 1 omit to call attention to another singular
feet in the history of the currency of this kingdom ;
that whilst its government has been illegally selling
several millions of Spanish dollars at a premium, or
egio, of about 18 per cent. above the intrinsic value
of the silver they contain, it has replaced them with
five-franc pieces, at 10 per cent. below their intrinsic
valve. In tne meantime trade is at a very low ebb,
end is daily
the and nitre declining. In the midst
of abundance e ,rople are poor, ill fed, and worse
clothed. The van*, administrations in oonnexion
with the finances are in s disorganised and demoral-
ised state. Gold then is none in *country. Isi-

The Brighton Guardian says:—" Of the various mesas em-

following, which occurred in a town not far distant. A.
gentlemen, who bad evinced great interest thee, ghoul the
protrac•ed struggle, had pretty uoitornaly manifested sym-
pathetic feelit.gs not altogether favoursble to the Allies. On
the =grilles that the capture of fiebsatopol became known,
a rematkable character in the town dre•aed himself in deep
mourning, having also a deep crape band on his hat, and a

THE RUSSIAN ARMY.

According to an order cf the day which has ar •
petted at Mossow, one hundred and ninety-eight
drushines of the line, en maws, have been or-
ganised. According to the normal strength of a
drushiae, an addition of 198,000 men should have
been made to the military force of Russia ; but it is
generally understood that, in Russian official lan-
guage, a drushine is treated as organised before its
full number has been made up.

scription, for the country really begins to be depopulated, a
proof of which may be found in the insufficiency of
labouren for the work of the harvest. The government is
taking a census of the mope, in order to ascertaia how much
grsiu this country can furnish for the cant " campaign."

The Press. publishes it letter from Kamiesch,
stating that the Russians are fortifying the road
from Perekop to Nicolaieff, as if they expected the
approach of an enemy by that road, or were pre-
paring for a retreat from the Crimea. The Russians
are also adding to the defences of Otchskoff.

AUSTRALIA.

Intelligence from Melbourne to the 13th July,
nearly a fortnight later than previous advice'', has
reached England by way of Ceylon.
Importation continues moderate, and prices of most
articles were steady. Food wu very dear, bread
selling at 6d. per lb., and flour 461. to 501. per ton.
The excess of arrivals over departures, for the first
six months of 1855, was 34,908.
The escort returns for the three months ending
June 30, in 1834 and 1855, show an increase on the
quarter of 73,750 ounces. The price of gold oa the
13th was 31. 16s. 6d. Exchange at par (the banke
selling at 2 per cent.). Freights 41d. Insurance 21

The Mermaid, of the White Star line, which was
to leave Melbourne on the 13th, had on board 98,655
ounces of gold, the largest shipment this year. The
frieght on this is 1,8501. The Marco Polo was to sail
with a mail on the 21st of July.

RAPID DEPOPULATION OF SINGAPORE BY TIGERS.
—Two deaths by tigers every week (says the Salmon

RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg of the 18th ult. in
the Wanderer of Vienna says :—" The evening be-
fore the departure of the Emperor for the south, a
grand council was held, at which it was resolved to

carry on the war with the greatest determination and
energy, and the Emperor directed Count de Nefeel-
rode to send a circular to the political agents of
Russia in foreign countries to communicate to them
that intention. The Grand Duke Constantine, who
is to be at Nicolsieff to receive the Emperor, will re-
main behind for some time with the army. The re-
call of General Gortchskoff and his nomination to the
poet of Minister of War is a matter resolved on.
General Mouravieff, who is now in Armenia, is to
assume the command of the army in the Crimea.
The Crimea is to be defended to the last extremity,
and all that has been said of a retreat on Perekop is
unfounded."

According to a letter from St. Petersburg, received
at Berlin on the Ist inst., the Emperor Alexander,
accompanied by the Grand Dukes Constantine,
Nicholas, and Michael, made a grand inspection on
the 26th of the trolps, the fortifications, and the dock
yard at Nicolaieff. The Grand Duchess of Leuchten-

effect.

Tte same uncertainty does not attach to the
accounts of the fire which the Allies keep up against
the north side of Sebastopol, and which figures in that
list of difficulties which Prince Gortchakoff ostenta-
tiously parades. The number of pieces which play
upon the north side is not known; but, at the
date of the last French accounts, General Niel was
constructing upon the coast of the Bay of Sebastopol
several batteries of mortiers a plague of large calibre,
and of much longer range than ordinary mortars.

THE LOWER DANUBE AND PRUTIL
Fro as the Masitnir.)

GALLT4, Sur. 20.
Lloyd's steamers hay, at length commenced ma-
in; between Constantinople and ; the first
boat arrived last Friday, and started again on Satur-
day morning, while its sister boat arrived from
Vienna on the previous evening. We expect a
second steamer to-morrow. The first bad on board a
few goods and a small number of passengers. As it is
necessary to submit to the visit of the Russians when
passing the Isle of Tohdtal, the managers, without
formally excluding French, English, or Sardinians,
are very unwilling to receive them on board as pas-
sengers, and lam, indeed, of opinion that there would
be bat little security for them.
The Austrians have set up a light-house at Salina.
Merchants think here that they will levy a toll for
keeping up the light, aid some other tax besides for
covering the expense they are put to in rendering
the Lower Danube navigable.
At the point of Tchetal, at the branching off of the
are of Hi& or Ismail, aad of that of Silica, the Bos-
sisns hate two osuill war-steamers and eighteen gun-
boats. Last year the number of the latter was thirty-
five, seven of which were hardly ever used, and would
have probably been turned to some other purpose.
There are still ten gunboats left unaccounted for.
Last week I took a trip as far as the Froth, sit
miles from here, facing Reni. It was there that the
Russian army last year crossed the Bessarabian fron-
tier. Amen Moldavian guard occupies the half-
• ruined redoubt which formed the head of the Rus-
sian bridge on the right bank of the Prutb. Facing
it the Russians have, on the left bank, a guard
of four or five veterans. The river, very deep at this
part (four to five fathoms), is so narrow that the sen-
tries can talk to each other from the opposite banks,
and the smallest Danubian steamer has not room
enough to wear. Behind and above the Russian
post you see the remains of large batteries
erected last year for the protection of the passage.
They are disarmed, and seem to be guarded by only a
few mu, whereas formerly movements of troops were
constantly remarked. On the other hand, the posts
of irregular Cossacks, which bad been withdrawn,
have re-appeared within the last two months on the
Muscovite aide of the Froth. If we are to believe
the reports of the Moldavians on the frontier, these
ill-disciplined bands commit many disorders in the
plains of Bessarabia. Lastly, at about *even or eight
vents behind Reni, there is said to he a camp of 10

or 12 thousand men, composed apparently of veterans
and militiamen.

THE FORM OF PRAYER AND THANES-

GIVING.

The following is a copy of the form of prayer and
thanksgiving to be used at morning and evening
servios on Sunday next:
"0 Lord God AlmightylthelDisposer of all human
events, in whose hand is power and might which
' none is able to withstand : We, Thine unworthy
se:waste, desire to approach Thy throne with the
tribute of praise sod thanksgiving. We bleu' and
magnify Thy name for the successes granted
to our countrymen, and the armies allied
with them, now engaged in a mighty warfare, and
defending the rights and independenoe of nations;
and especially for the signal victory by which the
stronghold of the enemy has been overthrown. We
acknowledge, 0 Lea, that the wisest comae* and

the strongest arms, without Thee, cannot but fail;
for Thine, 0 Lord, is the greatness, and the power,
and the victory, sad the majesty; and therefore, not
unto us, 0 Lord, not unto ue, but unto Tby name,
be all praise and gloty ascribed.
"Continue, we beseech Thee, Tby favour to the
Allied forces, both by sea and land. Let not the
glory of their progress be stained by ambition, or
sullied by revenge; but let Thy Holy Spirit support
them in danger, control them in victory, and raise
them above all temptation to evil. And grant that
this and all other successes which have crowned the
bravery and reward( d the endurance of our armies,
may issue in the retu►n of peace, and the restoration
of Christian brotherhood among nations.
" Finally, 0 Lord, we entreat Thee so to dispose
and turn oar hearts, that Thy mercy, now mani-
fested towards us, may engage us to true thank-
fulnen, and incline us, u a nation, to walk more
humbly and devoutly before Thee, by obeying
Thy holy word, by reverencing Thy holy day, and
by promoting throughout the land the knowledge
of Thee, the only tree God, and of Jesus Christ
whom Thou hest sent. To whom, with Thee and
the Holy Ghost, be all honour and glory, world
without end. Amen."

Court of Chummy, to investigate, through the means
of an eilieWent on the title, the legitimacy of the

LATEST FROM ABROAD.

Correspond's°, his been roosted this day from
the camp before Sebastopol, up to the date of the
16th. There is not a single important incident to
record. A letter from Malts, of the 22nd, states that
the destruction of Odessa has been determined, and
that a large fleet, both of English and French,
bars been named for the work. Odessa fallen,
the occupation of Perekop, Anaps, &c., will ensue,
sad the enemy be thus out off from the mesas of
seeding troops to the assistance of Sebastopol.
The names of the vessels to be engaged in the de-
struction of Odessa are, according to the correspond-
-411109 of the Portajoglio Maltese, the St. Jean d'Acre,
lag of Admiral Sir E. Lyons; Agamemnon, Hanni-
bal, Prisms Royal, and Royal Albert, of the line;
sad the frigates Higbflysr, Niger, Tribune, Terrible,
lidos, Wasp, Cusco', Vinosity', Sphynx, Inflexible,
Vali:woos, Diamond, and Leopard.

THE VIENNA

The foreign joarnals received last evening refer to
the abandonment by France and England of the
intend that Sebastopol shall be dismantled as a
matter of which there can be no question. When
Prince Oortehakoff withdrew his troops from Sills-
Ilia last June, after a forty days siege, the Awned
de IX Peeershowy began to speak of " the sham siege
of Silistria." The French government journals have
already henna to ailirm that the Western Powers are
set seeking to destroy Sebastopol. The Constautiowsel
writes :—" The destruction of Sebastopol no longer
hares in the number of the stipulations of the Allies
relative to the Black Sea, for the reason that the siege
of which this plow has been the object has never been
einsidered otherwise than a means, and sot as an
end, by the Western Powers. What they pursue in
atasmse in the Black fire with their fleet and army is
mg Ike ruin nor the rapture 010 mulitary port—it is
tbe reduotios of the forces which Reeds has main-
Wood in these parts—it is the species of domination
which she szereised, and the privilege she enjoyed
there, to the detriment of all Europe, and, above all,
of Tarkey."—Daily New.

THE WAR IN ASIA.

The Journal de St. Peterabourg, of Sept. 25, con-
tains the following news from Asiatic Turkey :
(Extract from the periodical reports of A. D. C. General
Mourtvieff, extending from Aug. 30 to Sept. 3, awl dated
from the camp near the village of Tchiotli-Tcher.)
With the view of rendering the blockade of Kars more
stringent, our troop have established themselves around
this fortress, along the principal routes by which it com-
municates with the surrounding country. The line of the
camps of thew detachments, divided by the river Karp
Total, panes through the villages of Tchiotli-Tchsi, where
the bulk of our force is stationed, Kany-Keui (Major-
General Count Nyrod), Hariji-Valt (Colonel Edigoroff),
Malik Kane (Major-General Baklanoff), and Bosgali
(Colonel Prince Dondouk;ff Konskeff). In order to con-
nect the lest two detachments, that of Colonel Von I.lcgern-
Sternberg is posted towards the lake of Aigher. °het, and
supported by Major• General Basine's column, stationed in
the village of Ornaraga.
Almost every day these detachments havo petty skir-
mishes with the enemy, who steals oat of the place to
forage. Each of his encounters with us has cost him
dear; our brave Cossacks, militia, and dragoons, emulous of
each other, not merely oearthro re their adversaries at every
point, but advance even within range of the artillery, carry
off nearly on his glacis the cattle of the garrison, and often
alarm the Turkish troops. The most remarkable of these
affairs was the attack, made on the 30th of August,
by Major-0 1 Beklanoff, against a large party of
Turkish foragers, who had made a sortie from Kars,
near Karadagh, supported by several columns of
regular cavalry. The unexpected attack of Major-
General Baklanoff, and the iimpetnosity: with which
it was made, compelled the Turks to take to fight,
dispersing over the plain their beasts of burden laden with
forage. In pursuing the enemy, our Cossacks and militia,
who had with them one gun and a rocket detachment, drove
in the regular Turkish cavalry, which in its flight threw
into disorder its own reserves. At this moment the pursuit
became general, and the MUM of regular cavalry and of
huhi-basoisks hurried within the gates of Kars. The Turks
then opened firs against our troop. from their heavy guns
on the heights of Karadagh, but wi'hout doing us any in-
jury. Our loss consisted of oce militia officer wounded by
a ball, and three horses killed. We took prisoners eight
mu of the Nisam and the same number of buhi basouks ;
the number of the enemy's killed and wounded isnot koown,
but it u.ust have been considerable.
This affair took plaits at the same spot at which Colonel
