RUSSIA.

The Abeille du Nord says that the greatest confi-
dence is felt at St. Petersburg in a favorable issue of
the negotiations. At the same time a new levy of
twenty-three men in every 1,000 is stated to be in
contemplation as a measure of precaution.

The retirement of Count Nesselrode from public
affairs in evi nt of peace is considered certain.

M. Meyendorff, Baron Brunow, Prince Gortscha-
koff, are named among the probable successors.

TURKEY.

The great measure of reform was promulgated by
an Imperial firman at Constantinople, on the 21st of
February, with extraordinary state. First, all
privileges and immunities formerly given to the
Christians and other communities under the Porte
are again confirmed. The decree then details the
different measures by which equal rights are granted
to all the subjects of the Sultan, of whatever religion
they may be. In civil rights there will he a com-
plete equality between Mussulmans and Christians,
the latter being subject to the payment of different
taxes. Any denomination (such as "rayah") of a
nature to express the superiority of' one race over
another is expressly forbidden both in public docu-
ments and in private conventions. The patriarchs
are to be chosen for life. The clergy will receive a
fixed stipend, and the Church property will be
managed by an assembly composed of persons of
that religion. There will be mixed tribunals. Edu-
cation will be free, but under the surveillance of
mixed commissions. Other reforms are announced,
as, for instance, the right granted to provincial and
communal councils t. take the initiative in grants
for public works ; as also the establishment of
banks, in order to regularise the monetary system
of the empire. A million copies of the decree of
the Sultan have been distributed throughout the
empire.
In order to relieve commerce, which has been de-
ranged by the heavy fall in prices since peace be-
came probable, the porte has removed the prohibition
to export corn, as far as relates to the ports of the
Mediterranean, of the Archipelago, and of the Gulf
of Venice

CORN EXCHANGE—OnIy moderate supplies of new Eng-
lish wheat have come to hand this week, but their general con-
dition has been tolerably good. Ohl parcels are extremely
scarce; and for all kinds we hare had a very dull inquiry, at a
decline in the quotations of from 5s to Ils per quarter. In
foreign wheat—the imports of which have fallen off—next to
nothing has been passing, at 2s to 35 per quarter less money.
Floating cargoer ha% e commanded less attention. New Eng-
lish barley has changed hands steadily, at very full currencies:
but foreign qualities have gone rather easier. The malt trade
has continued steady, on former terms. Oats, beans, and peas
have fully suprortel late rates. The flour trade has ruled
heavy, and country marks have given way 2s to 3s per sack.

A Miss BARR, of Dudley, was Sh.lt, last Saturday
night by her lover, one Dance, a dissolute fellow. ft
appears that his attentions were discouraged by Miss
Barr's family, that he came drunk to the house on
Saturday night about ten o'clock, and was ordered
out of it. He returned about eleven, and getting in
by the back door walked up to Miss Barr in the pas-
sage, and pulling a pistol from his pocket tired it at
her neck and lower jaw. She fell fearfully wounded,
and in a state of insensibility. In a moment Dance
drew a second pistol and blew out his own brains.
Miss Barr lingers in a precarious state. At a coro-
ner's inquest on Dance a verdict of " Temporary in-
sanity" was returned.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.—This theatre was reopened
on Monday, after its brief close, with the play of
Pizarro. More a melodrama than a tragedy, Mr.
Kean has here a less illegitimate opportunity for
attempting great scenic effect. The mice en scene
is perfect, the paintings of the mountain passes have
never been surpassed on the stage, and the repre-
sentations of the Temple of the Sun, in the first and
third acts, are very beautiful and effective. In the cast
Mr. Komi plays Rolla, a character unusually suitable,
Mrs. Kean Elvira, Miss Heath Cora, and Mr. Ryder
Pizarro. The five acts are rather more tedious on
the stage than in the library, which even Mr. Kean's
Scenic effects fail to relieve. The house has, how

An Admiralty return issued this week states that
206 Russian vessels were captured by British
cruisers in 1854 and 1855. All the captured
vessels appear to have been unarmed, but it should
be observed that the return contains but a small
portion of the vessels which were captured from the
enemy. Many were captured both in the Baltic and
Black Sea, of which there are no particulars, as they
were at once destroyed or otherwise disposed of.
The Lords of the Admiralty concluded their official
inspection of Portsmouth on Tuesday, and in the
evening entertained the heads of departments at the
George Hotel. Their lordships promoted Lieu-
tenant Fenwick, of the Rolla, to the rank of com-

departure for town, and Vice-Admiral Sir George
Seymour left in the Black Eagle Admiralty steam-

present. Intelligence in our possession makes it certain
that there is no intention of taking a step which would be
most unadvisable in the actual condition of affairs at
Athens itself and throughout the Greek kingdom.

The conclusion of the Central American difficulty is
thus intimated by the Daily News :

The Control American difficulty is confidently stated to
have received a satisfactory solution in a convention and
treaty said to have been concluded between Honduras and
Great Britain. The leading features of the arrangement
are understood to be a guarantee of the neutrality of the
territory to be traversed by the projected Inter oceanic
Railway, and the freedom of its terminal ports against our
cession of Ruatan and the other two small islands, in re•
cognition of the equitable claim of the main State upon
those dependencies.
The statement that the Portuguese Government,
in the late bread riots at Lisbon, applied to her
Majesty's Government for the assistance of a squad-
ron in the Tagus, has been officially denied.

LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1850.

THE speech of Mr. ROEBUCK at Sheffield calls
for some notice at our hands. The Honour-
able and Learned Gentleman has discovered
that without party organisation no weight is to
be obtained, and no good is to be done. He
assures us, from his personal knowledge, that
a very small knot of organised men can enor-
mously influence the Legislature, and, as he
is dissatisfied with the two great parties in the
State, he proposes to create a third, which,
even if it numbers but ten or fifteen members
in the House of Commons, may, he thinks, he
able to dictate terms to the Government. One
of the 1,-ading objects of his party will be " to
" overthrow the aristocratic domination in this
" country,' and rescue the people from the
slavery in which, according to the Honourable
and Learned Gentleman, that domination holds
them.
Mr•. ROEBUCK is at the same time so candid
as to say that the country does not want more
Reform Bills. " If an angel of light wver•e to come
" down with a Reform Bill in his hand, the
" people would receive him apathy." But
neither do the people seem particularly
anxious to resign themselves to the direction
of Mr. ROEBUCK'S select society of Adminis-
trative Reformers. That stillness in the poli•
tical world, on which we have previously com-
mented as a remarkable feature of our time,
is admitted by Mr ROEBUCK, but attributed
by him to a different cause from that to which
we referred it.
We believe it to be due to the desire of the
nations of Europe to prosecute the labours of
industry in security and peace ; to the develop-
ment of social arts; to a perception on the part
of both Governments and people that their
interests are substantially the same ; and to
the defeat and disgrace of the party of dis-
turbance in every country where it has ven-
tured to raise its head. Mr. ROEBUCK, on the
contrary, ascribes this quietude to the oppres
sion of the Continental Governments, which
keep the people in subjection, and prevent
them from manifesting their sentiments.
He cannot believe that Europe, having
arrived at so high a point of civilisation

sacrificed to base and oppressive despotisms.
On this point he may set his mind at rest
The communities of modern Europe are far
too intelligent and keen-sighted to submit to
any Government essentially opposed to their
interests and wishes. They may not exercise
a direct, influence over the acts of their
Executives, but from the relations existing in
every civilised society it is impossible that
any Government can be independent of the
support of the great body of the people. It
was the sage remark of MoNTEsouiEu that the
most absolute Courts of the orld are com-
pelled to shape their course by the general
current of popular feeling.

POSTSCRIPT.

Intelligence from Paris, Friday morning, states
that a despatch from Neufchatel announces the
tranquillity of the canton. The insurrection has
been suppressed.
The Emperor of the French is not expected to
return to Paris before the 15th. There is some
rumour of a naval review at Toulon before the final
return of the Imperial family to Paris.

A despatch from St. Petersburg, September 1,
states.—

The Minister of Finance has been authorised to issue
three new series of paper•money, amounting to nine
millions of silver roubles.

Intelligence from Berlin states :
We have received from Vienna a summary of a note
said to have been addressed by the Porte to the Western
powers.
The note states that a protocol of the 11th of February,
1855, announced positively that Wallachia and Moldavia
wire to enjoy a separate and independent Administration,
u idec the suzerainty of the Sultan.
The Paris Conference settled that they were to enjoy
their past privileges, one of which was a separate Admint•
strat ion.
To unite them would be neither to their own interest
nor to that of the great powers, as the Government would
be merely a prize of contention for the rival influences of
the two provinces.
It is continued, that Sardinia will send an Envoy to
represent her in future at the Frankfurt Diet.

Letters from Athens of the 26th ult. assert that
perfect tranquillity reigns in that city, and add that
the Greek Government has ordered the draining of
several lakes, as well as other public works.

The judgment of the Holstein High Court of
Appeal in the impeachment of the Minister M. von
S:heele has been pronounced. The court declares
against the competency of the tribunal before which
the process has been brought, and dismisses the ac-
cusation.

The Constantinople journals and letters to the
25th have come to hand. _ _

Reports were current. of a change in the Turkish
Ministry, caused by differences of opinion relative to
the questions of the Isthmus of Suez and the
principalities. With regard to the former, it is an-
ticipated that all difficulties will be removed by the
expected visit of the Viceroy to Constantinople.
The return of Reschi(l Pacha to office is talked of.
He would, it is thought, advocate the union of the
principalities.
The English Colonels Genies and Stewart, late
British commissioners with the Turkish army of
Asia, having terminated their mission, were about to
return to Constantinople by a steamer which had
been sent for them to Trebizond.

Two political semi-official paragraphs of some im-
rortance have appeared this week in the daily
j ,urnals. The occupation of Greece by the allied
powers is alluded to by the Morning Post :
We b we shall be found correct in anticipating that
the allied forces will not be withdrawn from Greece at

THE SINTENCE3 ON THE TIPPERARY MILITIAMEN,
tried by court-martial for their late outbreak, were
promulgated last Friday at Nenagh by Major-
General Sir James Chatterton, B.H. Her Majesty
was pleased to commute the sentences of the court
martial. The prisoner Burns, found guilty of
"murder," is transported for life, while the remaining
nine prisoners, four of whom were sentenced to
transportation for life, two to twenty-one years, two
to fourteen years, and one to two years' imprison-
ment, have had their sentences commuted to terms
of penal servitude varying from four to ten years.
On Monday the regiment was formally disembolied.
The men were drawn up in square, and Sir James
Chatterton addressed them upon their late conduct.,
and promised that if they then returned to their
homes quietly and in good order, he should have
much pleasure in asking for a further remission
of sentence from the Government for the convicted
men.

Ma. Join; O'CotiriEts. has been sworn into his
office as Clerk of the Crown and Hanaper for Ireland.

COLONEL HAMILTON of the Guards- had a narrow
escape last week. Coming out of the barrack-square
in Dublin his horse took fright and bolted head
i►remost against the wall, literally knocking his own
b sins out. Colonel Hamilton fell with the horse
and was much bruised, but escaped any serious
injury. _ . _

THE POLICE are actively searching for Mr.
Ja nes Sadleir, who it is believed is still lurking
abaut Coolnarnuek.

THE DUBLIN CRIMEAN BANQUET promises to be
♦e:y successful. Subscriptions are rapidly coming
in, and it is anticipated that the 2,000 Crimean men
in and about Dublin will be entertained in a manner
wartby of the liberality of Ireland.
THE ANTICIPATIONS of a good harvest in the north-
western counties are not likely to be realised. The
loss by blight has been severe, and as regards
wheat, the crop is rot anticipated to reach the pro-
duce of last year. The potato crop will also be be-
low the crop of 1855.
Ma. JAMES BARRY of Rockfield, one of the magic•
testes of Limerick, and an extensive land agent, fell
into the Shannon last Tuesday night, and was
drowned.

THE PRESS.

character of the House of Commons is. If the
gentlemen of England find it too much trouble to
govern the con itry, somebody else will very soon
take it off their hands. But the idea of salaries is
absurd. " The Magistracy of France" is, we fear,
only too true. "The Profit and Loss of Insurance
Comranies," is a useful article. There are several
noticeable papers in this number.
The Oxford and Cambridge Magazine opens with
an article on Herrick. The subject is a very good
one, but we should have been better pleased with the
performance if the author had given us more criti-
cism of Herrick's poetry, and striven less fter
a merely conjectural biography. The remaining
articles, which we have merely had time to gl nce
through, all seem of an attractive character, and a
thought less affected in tone than usual.
The Monthly Review contains some good articles.
" It's Never too Late to Mend " is handled with seve-
rity, but not beyond its deserts; and in matter of fact
and matter of fiction the whole weekly press, and our-
selves in particular, are called to account for their style
of criticism by a writer who does not, however, set a
very good example himself by his purely conjectural
sketch of literary reviewers. The article is clever,
but peculiar, and displays an unconscious intolerance
of opposite opinions, which is perhaps, however, rather
the effect of manner than of anything else. A favor-
able notice of " Bothwell " is a well-written and judi-
cious article.

The Train pursues the even tenor of its way,
neither rising nor sinking. The September number
contains some pleasant writing. The principal fault
we have to find is with the illustrations, which are
dreadfully wooden.
Sharpe's London Magazine sustains its title to be
one of the most popular of the lower class of period-
icals. " Alice B—," is an amusing little story.
The lines on Macaulay are not below par, and there
are several other papers which are sure to be enter-
taining to the class of readers for which they are
written.

The Churchman's Magazine contains a variety of
practical and suggestive articles. We should espe-
cially notice the article upon "Deans and Chapters,"
" Squires and Cottagers," and "More Bishops." The
obituary notices are good.
The Merchant's Magazine contains a number of
articles, written, as far es we can judge, with talent,
and interesting to commercial men.

vanes* to certain parties, are among the allegations which
will have to be investigated. The liabilities of the bank
are not yet known ; but it is believed that the whole pf
the paid up capital has been lost. The paid•up capital
was 150,0001. ;-150,0001. remains unpaid, and this amount
will, it is said, be enough to satisfy the various creditors of
the establishment. The directors, however, are to ro•o

the highest number should be elected was about to
be brought forward. The Washington correspondent
of the New York Journal says, that the President
lately assured a member of Congress he should
have two messages to deliver to Congress. Two
proclamations had been issued by the President ;
one against the Nicaragua filibustering expeditions,
in which the citizens of the United States were
called upon to discountenance such "criminal under-

Two NOTORIOUS SWINDLERS AND BEOGING LETTER

were apprehended and committed for trial at Eton on

on his lordship's bankers. The prisoners, who were
successful in changing the 501. cheque, were cleverly
captured at Eton when culling for the letter they
expected to receive from Messrs. Hoare, the bankers,
inclosing the money for the 1001. cheque. Fortu-
nately the suspicions of the firm were first aroused,
and then confirmed, and successful steps were
immediately taken for the apprehension of the
swindlers.
