TURKEY.

A correspondent of the Oat. Deutsche Post writes
from Gmstantinople under date Sept. 18: "The
English fleet is expected at Smyrna, to support the
negotiations which are now going on between the
Porte and the maritime powers relative to the right
of their men-of-war to pass the Dardanelles and Bos-
phorus. The powers demand tree passage through
the Straits, that privilege having been granted to
tho French war-steamer Charlemagne. The excuse
made by the Porte is, that the } rench ambassador
was on board the vessel, which hoisted a white flag.
To this the reply is, " We, too, will always have a
white flag flying whenever we pass the Straits."

A hostile army was supposed to attempt a surprise
upon the tete du pont on the other side of the Po, not
knowing that Casale was well garrisoned; but the
attack was repelled. On the second day the opera-

prevent the enemy from crossing it. The manceavres

PROGRESS OF THE CO]

OP VICTOItIA,

Mr. Weatgarth,a merchant of Victoria, the young
colony which was only separated from New South Wales,
Australis and made independent, in July, 1851, has made
a report, in his capacity of President of the Local Chamber
of Commerce, in which the surprising growth of the colony
is stated with great minuteness of detail. In the year 186
her imports rose from 746,0001. in value to 1,066,000/. Her
exports from 766,0001. in 1849 to 1,423,0001. in 18.51. In
September, 1861, no gold had been exported from Victoria.
In the six months next ensuing 663,471 ounces of gold
were shipped, at Melbourne chiefly, the greater part of it
for London. Although at the present time, amongst
gold producing countries, California stands prc-eminent,
being said to have produced in 1851 a sum scarce less
than 15,000,0001., Victoria is only record to it in pro-
ductiveness, and yields apparently a larger quantity than
the average of Russia, which is estimated at 4,000,0001.
per annum. Vast masses of people have centinued
to congregate round those spots which produced most
gold, and the diggings of Alex.inder Mount swarmed
with men and families to the number of 60,000 at
least. lip to February of the present year, upwards
of 30,000/. had been received as payment for licenses
issued to the miners, and the quantity cf wool exported
during the last closed season has been so great u ever. in
1846 the census of Victoria gave a total of nearly thirty.
three thousand. It now falls little short of 115,900. At
Melbourne 10,915 souls, in 1816, are increased to 23,143 in
1851.

A mint has been set up in South Australia, and takes
gold for coinage, but fixes its value too high in the opinion
of the Chamber of Commerce.

On the question of tariffs there seems to be a general
feeling in the various colonies in favour of uniformity, and
a desire to abate the restrictive tendencies and obstructive-
ness of existing duties. The principle which has been
adopted by the various Chambers of Comwcrce has
been to propose new revenue dutits on a small
number of imported articles, all others being left
free, a preference being given to fixed duties over
the ad eaterem principle. The articles on which the
Chambers are all unanimous in imposing duties are
spirits, wine, tobacco, sugar, tea, carve, and beer. They
vary slightly in Victoria and New South Wales, and are
heavi••r in Van Diemen's Land. The latter has carried
out the provisions of a new tariff on those priuciplts.
Tho other colonies are about to proceed in the same di-
rection.

The address of the Melbourne Chamber of Commerce
closes thus The colony is in the midst of a rate of
unexampled progrces. Au exuberant nature hes lasished
or, it unbounded resources, auil it will be fur the colonists
to meet those auspicious circumstances by promptitude,
energy, and liberality in the path of improvement, in
order that the full benefit of their position may be
realised."

HOP INTELLIGENCE.

MAIDSTOIII, Oct..—The planters are rapidly clearing
their grounds, bat the picking has for the last few days
been much interfered with by the heavy rains. The hope
come down well, but there are places were the; mould has
been destructive. A heavy duty is talked of, even 270,0001.
The samples are very good.
SW:ORTON MONCHZIARA. We are proceeding with the
picking as feat as the weather (which ham recently been very
unfavourable) will permit. We shall produce a very Site
sample, but much different* of opinion exists as .to the
average growth per acre, some thinking that 16 cwt. will
be obtained, while others say the average will not be
above 10 cwt.
CHART BUTTON.—We are proceeding with the picking
as fast as the weather will permit. There has been mice
rain, and that does us no good; generally speaking how-
-1 ever, there will be a large crop and a fine sample.
Lune.—The crop in our neighbourhood fully answers
the expectations of the growers ; the yield is very good.
We are picking as fast u we can, but are interfered with by
the continuous and heavy rains.
Vast/incl.—Picking is fast proceeding; but we feel the
effects of the heavy rains and winds. 'There is a qua-
tity_of mould.
MARDIN.—The picking is going on very satisfactory.
The hope come down in excellent condition. We shall have
a good sample, and pay a heavy duty.
litaioutttno, Sept. 30.—The high winds are battering
us about and we shall not finish picking till the latter end of
next week. Upon the whole we shall get as many as we
expected. The duty will not, in our opinion, pay anything
like what some people suppose.
CIOUDHITHAT, Oct. 1. lope are still going on satisfac-
torily, notwithstanding we have had considerable rain,
which, in many seasons, would have seriously injured them.
The quantity Is, in general, above what was anticipated, the
colour and condition good.
ASHFORD, Sept. 30.—The hops come down remarkably
well ; a good crop, and free from disease.
Vizir:lime, Sept. 29.—The hopping is drawing to a
oonclasion, and the quantity will come somewhat short,
owing to their weighing light at the oommeacement. The
quality is very superior.
FARNHAM, Sept. 30.—The grounds are nearlyall cleared,
those planters, though, will have not cleared their firounds,
we expect, will lose for quality, u the hope are going off,"
although they had not begun to pick them before they were
ripe. Duty 240,0001e—Surrey Standard.

the 21st ult. at La Mandria, his summer residence.

SPAIN.

The Madrid Gazette of the 25th is surrounded
with a black border, in honour of the Duke le Bay-
len. In an article on him, the Gazette says that he
died poor, and that his poverty was occasioned by
his charity. Hu death, it declares, is a national loss;
and it adds that "he lived a hero, and died a saint."
He was born at Madrid, on the 22nd of April, 1736,
and his father was a commissary of the army. His
title passes to one of his great-nephews. The Epoca
ove that he had expressed a wish to be interred
without pomp. By his death, and that of Welling-
ton, the Viscount Beresford, the Duke de la Vittoria,
the Marquis Rodil, the Duke de Valencia, and the
Marquis del Deuro, are, with the royal princes, the
only persons who now hold the dignity of captain-
general of the army. In consequence of the death of
the duke, the Queen had determined to return at
once to Madrid, and was expected in the afternoon
of the 25th.

After years of endeavour, the Pope has almost
raised one regiment. The Paris Unleers thus cele-
brates the achievement:
The first foreign regiment in the service of the Holy See
received • flag from the holy lather on the 20th. It was
presented to it after a solemn consecration by the Bishop
of Macerate, in which place the depot of the regiment now
is. This corps is destined to he the commencement of the
pontifical army. It is still far from complete, and the
journals have frequently exaggerated the importance
of the enlistments made abroad, principally in Swit-
zerland, for the composition of it. Enlistments
continue to lbe made, and the dispositions of the
recruits appear to be excellent. Many of them have already
served for several years, and offer all desirable guarantees
u regards instruction and military discipline. It is then
permitted to hope that this corps, for the organisation of
which the Pontifical government makes very great seen.
flees, will respond to its legitimate expectation, and will
become one of the strongest supporters of the temporal
power of the papacy. This brave regiment wished that
its flag should be blessed on the day of the Immaculate Con-
ception of the Most Holy Virgin, in order to place itself
under the protection of the Celestial militia. The Neopo-
titan journals inform us on their part that the army of
King Ferdinand renewed on the same day, after a review,
its consecration to the spotless Holy Virgin. This is a usage
introduced by the pious King, and it gives joy to his really
catholic soldiers.

The Si EAli Elt said if the petition merely prayed for a
void election the house was competent to order the issue of
a writ, but if it prayed that the seat might be declared to
belong to mote one else then the house could not order a
writ to be issued.
Mr. FRENCH obrerved that in this ease the petition
merely prayed for a void election on the ground of bribery,
and it did not appear to hint that any injury could be done
becalm tLe uppoution candidate could serve notices on the I
electors aa they came up that Sir A. Cockburn wee dis-
gestated (tom eating, on the ground of bribery; and if the
committee decided that he was so disqualified, the vote.
siren for hint would be thrown away.
Mr. !JAVIER said he was desired, on the part of Sir

DEATH OF KOSSUTH'S MOTHER.

BRUSISII.B, TrINTAN EVESTNO.
Tho above highly respected lady departed this life
about nine o'clock this morning in her temporary residence
in this capital. She had bees seriously ill for some w„„ki
but yesterday some strong hopes of her recovery were
entertained by her medical attendants, one of whim wail
Dr. Perkins, a long-established English resident, and who
is distinguished by his kind atteutionato the venue, political
exiles is this city. Some unpleasant rumours are afloat
respecting the refusal of the Belgian government to allow
of her soe's coming over to this country, unless he con.
canted to be constantly accompanied during ho stay in
Belgium by a police officer. it is understood that the
venerable lady herself urged her illustrious son not to sub-
mit to so degrading a condition. I trust, for the sake of the
Belgian government, and for the honour of Belgium itself,
that those rumours are exaggetat-A ; but I tear they see
bat too true.

as there is no question that an enormous quantity of fish
will find their way up the riven when they rise with the

PRUSSIA.

On the subject oftiie;4•l decree, which we
yesterday published from the telegraphio despatch,
and which it will be remembered, purported to give
the Prumian Premier, more than hitherto, n com-
plete view of the various branches of administration,
our correspondent writes:
BERLIN, Sam 14.
This order, though it effects no essential change,
and merely gives a formal sanetioo of what has practi-
cally obtained, would be very important if it indi-
cated a resolution on the King's part to adopt and
back with his fall authority the policy which M. von
Manteuffel would fain pursue. But I fear this is not
the case. The order may be merely a bit of court
plaster for the wound given to the Minister Presi-
dent by the appointment of General Radowita It
gives M. von Mantenffel, it is true, a formal guaran-
tee that the General shall not officially confer with
the King behind the Minister's back; but the King,
having given this guarantee as regards official
matters, may deem himself all the more at liberty to
enjoy private intercourse with the General, his old
and intimate friend ; and this is what I take to be the
real meaning of the order.
The report that the coalition's plenipotentiaries
were assembled at Dresden is unfounded. They
seem to avoid meeting before the 15th, in order not
to have the appearance of paying respect to Prussia's
request. Austria has directed the coalition govern-
ments again to give an evasive reply. This being
known, and the total futility of the negotiations being
obvious, there are parties here who urge the minis-
try not to await a new declaration from the southern
governments, but to call a sitting of the conference
and declare to the representatives that they may
return home.

In to-day's sitting of the Customs conference the
plenipotentiaries of the wailed states declared that
they had not yet received instructions. The Prussian
Plenipotentiary received this statement ad re-
ferendum.

TURKEY.

The German Journal of Frankfort states that the
Austrian Chargé d'Affaires at Constantinople has at
length succeeded in obtaining an order from the
Turkish government that the advantages hitherto
exclusively enjoyed by the vessels of the Messageries
Nationales of France shall be extended to tho vessels
of all countries.

officer who must have breathings is the opts al-
ways in the exercise of hissauthotity.
Looking down later into the history he would see
that even when the old democratical constitution of
the University was altered, the Chancellor was the
most important functionary in the University. Were
ho to look over the list of Chancellors, he would find
that it contained the names of men who made, or
endeavoured to make, a great impression on the aca-
demical routine. He would find that the Chancellor Car-
dioal POLE busied himself in drawing up statutes for
the institution; that the Chancellor, DUDLEY Earl of
Lateens", made most important_ alterations in the
statutes ; that Chancellor LAUD promulgated a new
code, which is of authority at the present day. He
' would see that the office of Chancellor, instead of
being a sinecure, was the most important
office in the University, and there is some reason
to imagine that, seeing this, and learning from the
Report the utter failure of the University in accom-
plishing the objects of its foundation,—the utter per-
version of all the funds of the colleges from their
original purpoers,—ke would have made the Chan-
cellorship something mote like a reality than it has
been for the last two hundred years.
We trust that the electors will choose an officer
who, ike the DUKE, has studied the University
Report. Any Chancellor who should refuse to act
upon some, at least, of the recommendations, or
rather, to use his influence to have them put in
practice, must be either incompetent or oaten-
scientions.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

We extract the following remarks on the Jamaica mar-
kets from De Cordova's Journal Christmas trade
has disappointed even the mockrate expectations of dealers,
the demand for goods having exceeded the ordinary inquiry
only to a very trifling extent. Both pickled and dry fish
are wanted, and would be taken—the former especially—at
advanced rates. The flour market is heavy, both as regard
supplies and demand. A good business might possibly be
done with speculators, but holders will not listen to their
terms. Produce generally is quiet."
The supply of American provisions in this market is not
heavy, yet we cannot quote any material change in quota-
tions since our last publication; the dealers generally have
manifested a desire to reduce stocks previous to the holi-
days. Flour may be quoted at 6 dols. per barrel for choice
brands. Cornmeal, 41 dols. in limited demand. East India
rice 'worth 4 dols. 30e. to 4 dots. 50c. p•r bag of 1601 b. for
white Calcutta. Pork wanted, at 17 dols. per barrel. Cod-
fish dull of sale, a cargo now offering, the stocks nn hand
ample. Mackerel wanted. Herrings more inqu,red fur, a
few barrels really good are saleable. A cargo of potatoes
from Germany sold at 3 dols. Sc. per barrel. W. P. lumber
dull of sale. P. pine ditto is also abundant. The importa-
tion of R. 0. staves has been large, and prices have de-
clined. A temporary supply of coals, sufficient to take off
the remains of the present crop, has come to market since
our last; our prices have declined. Produce still plentiful,
sod the weather most favourable. Sugar worth 3 dots. 50c.
to 3 doh.. 75c. per 1001 h. Dutch. Molasses in brisk demand
at 14c. to 15c. per imperial gallon. Rum : strong, 36e.;
common, 22c., per imperial gallon—packages included.
Freights have declined. In consequence of the numerous
arrivals from Europe our river is now well supplied with
tonnage; to London and outposts, 2s. 3d. to 2s. 6d.

THE ARDTULLY MlNES.—These mince, which are
iituated within four English miles of Kenmore, are cele-
brated for the purity and richness of the copper ore raised
from them, which brings a higher price in the market in
proportior., than the produce of any other Irish mines.
They have lately been purchased by a London company
from John Dillon Croker, Esq., of Quartertowe, for the
aura of 2,5001. They are now being worked with great
effect, and a very Bne ore is raised from them. Several of
the peasantry are employed in the various processes, at
reanairstive wales.—Cork Aporier

ITALY.

PIEDMONT.
In its sitting of the 19th, the Chamber of Deputies
of Turin commenced the debate on the bill imposing
• retention of a portion of salary upon public func-
tionaries. M. Gerbina, the new deputy for Alghero,
opened the debate with his maiden speech, in which
he attacked the bill as being unjust, illegal, and
mischievous. M. Brofferio, on the contrary, tie leader
of the extreme opposition. warmly supported the
bill, declaring he saw no reason why tunetinaariss
should not pay taxes as well as other people. After
some further conversation, the first article, which
lays a tax of 21 per cent. upon the salaries of func-
tionaries, for the purpose of creating a pension had,
was voted by a large majority- Several mead-
mentA were then moved to the second article, which
lays another tax upon s4.llarits for the purpose of go-
vernment, and which increases progressively with the
amount of salary. All the amendments but one
were, however, rejected : and that was referred for
consideration, together with the original article, to
the commission on the bill. The debate was then
adjourned.

PARMA.

The Parma Ga:ett;,oithOlo4th, publishes a de-
cree, suppressing the general direction of the police
on the Plume,* territories, and vesting all political,
judicial, administrutii e, and military powers in the
military inspector of the gendarmerie, and in the
commandants of the towns and fortresses of the duchy.

MODENA.
The Al.itsaggere of Modena, of the 14th, publishes
a notification, announcing the accession of the duchy
d Modena to the Austro-Italic postal league.

NAPLES.
The Nimes says :—We have received important
intelligence from Naples. The provisional situation
of this state since the suppression of the constitution
approaches its term. The examples of France and
Austria will no be slow to produce their fruit in
the kingdom of the Two Bicibes. The resolutions of
the government will be made known as soon se the
political trials which occupy the Orand Criminal
Court shall have been emninkted.

SPAIN.

It appears from an official document, in the 31a-
drid Gazette, that during the year 1851 the amount
of gold coinage at the Mint of Madrid was 11 mil-
lions of reabi in pieces of 100 reale (25fr.), and 21
millions in silver pieces of 20 reals (sfr.). At the
Mints of Seville and Barcelona the amount of coin-
age was about 3 millions of rails.
