buyers according to their •alue. Store Sheen sold quite as
well as at previous fairs, but their condition was far frem
good, and buyers were cautious in selecting their lots from
the flicks off light soils, being apprehen-ire that Sheep on
the heavy land are much injured through the wet season.
The Horse fair was well attended, and many useful animals
were ezhibitid, which sold at high prices. There was an-
extensivs supply of store Pigs, and trade was brisk, at im-
proved prices. Fat stock sold freely, prices ruling about
the same as in the London markets.

article* of plate, the property of Charles Jeans F. Newton,

out for Australia. _ _

the inspector at Vine-street station had in his possession
documents from the Prussian and Austrian nabssies, show-

ITALY .

Letters from Genoa state that the emulation of the
inhabitants of Savoy was excited by the projected
railway for uniting Genoa with Lyons, vi& Turin
and Chambiry, from which they expect to derive
considerable advantage. The chief enigma of profes-
sional men was the crossing of Mount Cenia. One
Ipropoldtion was to make nee of the cascades which
fall winter and summer from the lake on the summit
of Mount Cenis as a motive power for driving the
carriages up the steep. A Sardinian engineer, named
Mans, had invented a machine for perforating the
mountain, bat the tunnel, it was thought, would be I
too long (4,000 metres) to admit of proper ventilerl
tion. A considerable step towards the solution of the
difficulty had been made by the discovery of a place
where the mountain might be pierced by a tunnel of
only 1,200 metres.
In a letter from Nice of the 23th ult. it is said : " Yes-
terday morning our population enjoyed an imposing
spectacle. The French squadron, composed of seven
ships of the line and three steamers, manoeuvred in
the bay."
The Piedmonteae Casette of the 28th ult. announces

that from that day private individuals would

GERMANY.

One of the chief subjec&s in the programme of the
Prussian legislature for the present session—the com-
munal laws—was discussed on the 29th ult. These
laws, which were meant to determine the extent and
mode of local self-government in Prussia, were posed
in 1860 at the earnest request of M. Manteaftil. It
marks with tolerable plainness the progress (or
rof the Minister's opinion, that these laws,
which advocated on their introduction as conser-
vative, be now stigmatises and endeavours to destroy
as revolutionary. The debate was adjourned, after a
powerful speech from M. Vinoke.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

From 5,000 to 7,000 Russians have taken up a
strong position on an eminence near Frattsebti
(between Bucharest and Giurgewo). The Turkish
forces at Oltennza consist of 17,000 regular infantry,
3,000 Bashi Bozouks, and 4,000 artillerymen, com-
manded by General Prim. Ismail Pacha commands
21,01,0 Turks at Kalatat. The Russians have con-
centrated 36,000 men at Butleschti (between Bucha-
rest and Ottenitza), :Ind established head-quarters
there. . .

..____. .
A Frankfort journal states that simultaneously
with the action of lsaktka and Oluergewo, the
Turks, between the 27th of October and 3rd of

~.

November, passed across the Danube, by way of
Kalarasch, 50,000 men, who forthwith took up a posi-
tion on the left bank of the river.
Advice, from Constantinople, of the 3rd, state that
the fact of the passage of the Danube, at Kalafat, by
25,000 Turkish soldiers, and the success in Asia,
where the Turks had taken the fortress of Schafkatil,
had been announced to the troops in the capital. It
was said that the Turks had concluded an alliance
with the Mussulman tribes of Mingrelia, Imeritia,
Gouriel, and the other independent tribes
south of the Caucasus. Those totiaries can furnish
80,000 warriors well practised in mountain warfare.
The report that the Affghans hold the Schah of Persia
responsible for his friendly treatment of Turkey is
confirmed on several hands. The Trieste Gazette
affirms that "M. de la Cour told the Sultan that
40,000 French soldiers would be landed wherever the
Sultan might be pleased to direst. Lord Stratford,
on his side, declared that the English fleet would en-
ter the Black Sea and act on the coast with the
Turkish vessels. A corps of from 15,000 to 20,000
men will be kept in readiness at Malta, to occupy
Greece, if that country should attempt anything
against the Porte."
German letters from Constantinople affirm that
the French ambassador has offered the services of
General Borquet and six officers of rank to the
Turkish government.
Letters from St. Petersburg state that the Czar
has ordered that all the crown-students at the Uni-
versities be sent to the army, without waiting to
complete their studies. A ►not by the Hereditary
Grand Dukeis maid tabs in circulation—" War is inevit-
able but impossible"—the impression of his highness
being that the opponent of Russia must be dissolved
and vanish at the first encounter !
The Vienna papers affirm positively that the Turks
have passed the river at Carrasole, between Silistria
and Hirsova, and occupied the island of Czernanoda.
A despatch from Vienna states the loss of the
Russians in the battle of Oltenitza at more
than 2,000 killed and wounded, instead of 1,200 ;
and another account, furnished by a military surgeon,
carries it to 3,000.

FINE ARTS.

THE BRITISH EiSTITUTION.
Yesterday the Gallery of the British Institution
was opened to governors and subscribers and to mem-
bers of the Royal Academy for inspection of the
studies made in the School of Painting. These
Mies we copies from old paintingv, all of which, if
we remember rightly, were in the late British load-
tation Exhibition. With few exceptions they seem
to want merit of any kind sufficient to justify the
invitation of artiste and amateurs to their display.
Some charcoal studies, bearing the name of Harriet
0. O'Hagan, a head by Miss Maccironi, and a
copy from Ruyedael, are of good promise ; but
the great majority of the copies show neither techni-
cal skill nor artistical feeling. It seems to us that
the works chosen for imitation are singularly unfitted
for young beginners. A misty Wilson or a dashing
Gaspar Poussin would be really easier to paint than
to copy. To set such pictures before an inexpe-
rienced student is like bidding a man float on his
back, and perform all sorts of evolutions in deep
water, before he has learned to swim. The copies
themselves bear the strongest witness to the error of
this plan. They almost all prove that the copiest
was quite unable to perceive the poetry and
true merit of the work he was engaged in
repeating, and were it otheryise the poetry
of a picture is the last thing that should entitle it to
serve the purpose in point. It may be very useful to
copy well-drawn figures, and trees, and towns, and
landscapes, in good perspective and colour. But to
transfer the nobler qualities of fine composition of
parts and imaginative invention is no more likely to
help a young person to originate such things for
himself, than to transcribe a scene of " Hamlet or a
book of "Paradise Lost" is likely to make him a
Shakspeare or a Milton. All the works chosen are
among the very noblest specimens of art, and for
that very reason they are totally miscalculated for
models to young persons in that very moderate stage
of proficiency which is indicated by mast of the
studies which yesterday covered the walls of the
British Institution.

street on the 2nd instant, and another on the Ba., a con-
stable, named Carrot, and myself were employed to watch
the premises. We went there last night at ten o'clock, and
remained inside. About twelve o'clock we heard a noise
at the window as it somebody was tryiag to break in. The
noise continued, with the exception of intervals of two or
three minutes, till about half-put two, when a square
of glass was broken, and the prisoner came through
the hole into the roem in which we were and
made his way down to where we were secreted, with the
chisel in his hand which I produce. We then sprang upon
him, and, seising him by the arms, took the chisel from
him, as well as a dirk from his waistcoat pocket. He also
had about him four sovereigns and a Swedish dollar.
The Lard Mayor. —Did he say anything when you
seised him ?
OMPIT.—No, my lord he merely gave a stream, and
said he was Dutch. He was in his shirt sleeves, and shoe-
less. He said nothing to me in the English language.
The prisoner signified that he was unable to speak a word
of English, and en no interpreter was at band, he was re-
manded.

THE CHOLERA.

(from the Geseral Howe at Heath. Nov. le.)
MEntorous.—The returns from the K, M, and P
and It divisions of the metropolitan police give 7
new cases and 6 deaths. The return from the in-
spector of the R division gives the following account
of two fatal cues of cholera at Deptford. A
woman named Cooper, aged 52 years, residing at No.
8, Creek-street, in the parish of St. Paul, died
yesterday at 5 a.m. Her husband died on Friday
night last of the same complaint, and both were in-
terred at noon yesterday in the burial ground of St.
Paul's Church. The man was somewhat older than
the woman, and both were of very dirty habits.
The street is in the most filthy condition poe-
ibis to conceive. The mud and filth lie in the
rad about six or eight inches deep, with su-
llies drainage on the right hand side, close
M the bosses. There are only houses on one side,
dm ink' factory of Messrs. Hill being on the
aim Of them sixteen houses, it must be stated,
set see is supplied with water. The inhabitants are
'impelled to go across the coal barges lying at
Smiths wharf, and dip into the creek for all
they require for domestic purposes ; and at this spot
the refuse water from gas works, chemical works, oil

PREVENTION OF RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.

...
_4.
TO Tlii =ITO& OF THE IMP3IIIII.
813,-1 venture to throw out a hint to the direc-
tors of railway companies, by which accidents from the
running of one train into another might be entirely pre-
vented. I would have at the end of every mile • post
erected bearing a cup, in which should always be a fire, bell
ready fur instant ignition by means of a percussion cap or
some other contrivance. In case of any break-down some
one from the train would only have to run to the nearest of
these poets (which could not be more than half a mile dis-
tant) and set fire to the ball, the glare from which by
night, and the dense black smoke it would give out by day
would be a warning to the approaching train that could not
be overlooked.
I need hardly say that it would be easy by means of
sliding rods fixed at the top of each carriage and connected
by short chains, to establish • perfectly feasible means of
communication between the guard and engine driver, or
even to give the passengers, in case of necessity, the
power of communicating with the persons in charge oft the
train.—l am, Sir, &c. J. B.

THE Two UNCLE Toms.—The New York Evening
Post says :—"Little Cordelia Howard continues her per-
sonations of Eva, in Uncle Tom's Cabin, at the National.
The play has been improved lately by the introduction of
new and effective scenery—such, for instance, as the cloud
scene, in whiih Eva St. Clair, and Uncle Tom are men
ascending to Heaven."—The Charleston Courier of it e
28th alt., says :—" A new drama of Uncle MM. s Cabin
was presented fur the first time at the theatre last evening,
by the Kunkel troupe, and was received with the mots rap-
turous applause by a large audience. It represents the
history of a fugitive negro, who, weary of living to starve
among abolitionists, returned voluntarily to slavery."

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

The supply of English wheat to day was rather better
than last week, and the continued dullness in the trade
rendered it difficult to make sales 'inept at reouced rates,
which factors however would not accede to. Foreign was
in limited request, and necessitous boyars had to pay former
terms.

ITALY.

ROME, Nor. 20.
The accounts which have hitherto reached us of
the Turks' first successes against the Russians have
been received with eager satisfaction by the court of
his Holiness, it being Justly inferred that in the pre-
sent condition of Europe the Holy See has not much
to fear from Mussulman propagandism, whereas the
aggressive spirit, both spiritually and temporally, of
the Czar, might, in case of extensive victories, prove
fatal to the double dominion of the Roman Pontiff, as
well as destructive of the independence of other con-
tinental powers. This is another of the many :in-
stances in which the temporal interests of Rome
have led her to a virtuul if not actual alliance with
the infidel.

The notorious government satellite, the terror of
Trastevere, Gennaraccio, has been condemned by
French court-martial to six months'imprisonment for
illegal detention of arms, and afterwards to two
years' surveillance by the French police. He was
conveyed out of court amidst the hisses and execra-
tions of the populace. His defence tended to show
that he was fully authorised as a capo-squadra, or
head partisan, to have a sufficient number of arms
to equip his band of followers, but it appears that
his regular licence from the police authorities to
'that effect was not forthcoming. His unfortunate
nephew, who was shot some days ago for stabbing a
French soldier, requested an interview with his
uncle two hours before his execution, and bitterly
reproached him with the result of his instructions,
asking him ironically whether he could prevent the
court-martial's sentence of death from being carried
into effect through his influence with the ecclesias-
tical government.
Three gendarmes stationed at Bracciano, about 20
miles from Rome, were patrolling on the Via Claudia
on the loth inst., when they were overtaken bya
i
violent storm, which obliged them to take shelter a
a conical-shaped hut on the borders of the lake. The
hut was struck by lightning immediately after, and
the gendarmes were all killed.

THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION ROUSE.

A young German, named Anil° Ikeisoni, was charged
with pandering the premises of hie master, Mr. Brown,
watchmaker, No. 1, Church row, Houndsditch, of a quantity
of jewellery aad watches. The evidence adduced clearly
established the ease against the prisoner, who, it appeared,
boarded and lodged un his master's premises, and received
a salary of £2 per month. On Friday night the prosecutor
left about half-past 9 o'clock to visit some friends in the
neighbourhood, leaving the prisoner at work in the shop.
Oa returning at 11 o'clock, be discovered that the prisoner
had absconded from the place, and had carried off nearly
the whole of his stock of watches and ewellery. The pro.
neuter, suspecting the prisoner would endeavour to get
over te Germany, loot no time in going to the wharf whe 2
the Hamburg steamers start from and making inquiries;
and, upon going on board a steamer lying off St. Katherine's
steam-wharf, found the prisoner there. He had taken his
passage, and was below in his beith, where the whole of
the stolen property was found. Ile was immediately brought
ashore and handed over to the police.
The prisoner, who treated the matter very lightly, was
remanded till Wedeeadsy next.

THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 28, 1853

of the monastic old country, where, in his day,
people travelled on foot through the forests and
along the silent hill-sides. The movement propa-
gates itself northwards, to the great centres of trade
in Scotland. From and around Glasgow there are
to be new lines and various junctions—carrying, as
it were, the dash of the sea into the quiet vales—
lowland and highland—and the fresh air of the
heathery bills into the crowded city. So it is
with our manufacturing districts in the north-west
of Ragland. It is proposed to extend the Warring-
ton and Stockport line to Whaley Bridge, on the
borders of Cheshire and Derbyshire, where the Peak
is close at hand ; and the woodman, the miner, and
the weaver will become acquainted. One would like
to hear them comparing notes. Wales is busy too
about making a line from Carmarthen to Cardigan,
and improving Cardigan Harbour, and making a
breakwater. Ireland is not left out. The Derry
railways are branching out in various directions, to
pick up fish, flax, cattle, corn, and vegetables, and
bring neighbours together in community of interest
and remote people into friendship.
Now, could such things be in any country but one
which was wealthy and hopeful ? If the money
market were disturbed, if war were really dreaded,
if existing enterprise had been unsuccessful, could
such an array of schemes as this have been set
forth ? It is quite another question whether
all these lines will answer. We are citing

only their proposal; and it is clear that
they could not be proposed unless there were
resources of capital on the one hand, and a sense of

need of

like this on the other—both

being evidences of substantial prosperity. There
must be an industry in all these districts seen to be
ready for development; and there mina be means at
command, to a greater or less extent, to permit even
the formation of such schemes. It is so—and long
may it be so—and may causeless disparagement of
our resources meet as severe a rebuke from society
and the press as unwarrantable encouragement to
unsound speculation, such as has often been given
when our affairs were in a far less satisfactory con-
dition than they are now.

FRAUD IN VICTORIA SOVEREIGNS.

TO THE EDITOR OF TEN DAILT NEWS.

Stn,—We deem it important that your readers and
the public generally should be made aware of the existence
of Victoria sovereigns, which have lately come uader our
notice in the course of business. They are the usual miss
as the genuine, but are made of inferior gold ; being well
executed they can only be detected by the weight. Upon
assaying them we found them to be of what is termed fifty-
five shillings gold, the weight 4 dwts. 4 grains, coase-
quently their intrinsic; value, los. 70.; they are composed of
red gold, and coloured to represent the regular issue. The
readiest way of detecting them is to weigh them against a
genuine.

We have also had tendered in lately Victorian IOte•
reigns:in several instances, being of the same slut as the
genuine, of as good gold, which we found to be thinner
their value is 17s. W., and weigh 4 dwts. 13 grains.—Your
obedient servants, ADAM SPIELMANN AND CO.
