PORTUGAL

PARIS, SUNDAY EVINING.
Dona Maria 11. da Gloria, Queea of Portugal,
diedon the 15th, at noon, in child bed."

of the late Queen, is in his seventeenth year.

According to the laws of the kingdom, the King

son.

Lisbon is tranquil.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

VIENNA, Nov. 19.
Despatches from Hermanostadt state that the
Turks were attacked at ()Realize on the 11th, by a
formidable force. The Russians were repulsed
with loss.

Oa the 12th the reserves from lbraila arrived, and
gave Prince Gortschakoff a local numerical supe-
riority. On the day before the rainy NeBoll sat in;
and on the 13th, without any fighting, the Turks re-
crossed the Danube to the island, between Turtukai
and Oltenitza.

Several violent attacks had been made on the
Turkish position between Ruschtchuk and Giurgewo,
but to the 13th these had sot been successful.

General Osten Sacken's corps is 48,000 strong.
The Turks are still in force in Wallachia and at
Kalafat. It is believed Ismail Pacha has 24,000
men there.

The Russian Minister at Vienna has received the
following telegraphic message from Prince Gortacha-
koff, dated Bucharest, the 13th inst. :

" At the moment when measures were about to
be executed against the establishment of the Turks
on the left bank of the river, opposite Tartukai, they
evacuated their position and retired to the right bank,
keeping possession only of an island which lies be-
tween the two banks."

VIENNA, SUNDAY EVENING.

Advioes from Hermannstadt, of the 19th instant,
state that Prince Gortschakoff returned to Bucharest
on the 14th. On the 16th the Turks attempted a
surprise at Turnal, but were repulsed. The affair
was unimportant. From Kalafat the Turks have ad-
ivanced inland one German mile, and fortified them-
selves.

have at one time discredited trade and made money
nunecessarily dear, and at another have made it im-
properly cheap, deranging the transactions that
deoend for their success on a tolerably uniform and
steady rate of interest determined only by the wants
and operations of trade.

After their utmost exertions, however, neither of

these bodies can permanently influence the rate of
discount, or of interest, which depends on laws quite
as certain as those which regulate the harvests.
They can derange the market for a time, but the
actual amount of enterprise and of capital to be lent
—the demand and the supply—will, in spite of
them, settle the terms at which money can be bor-
rowed. Accordingly, the anticipations of the oo-
vernment that the interest of money will be lower,
which is a point of great importance to trade, are not
shared by the owners of money, and few or none of
the South Sea dissentients have hitherto accepted its
offer to be paid at once. They are aware that at the
present moment they could not employ their money
advantageously, and they may, about the beginning
of the year, employ the whole sum they will then
have to receive at an advanced rate of interest. They
share the opinion that the present ease in
the Money Market is merely temporary, the
effect of the discredit untimely and somewhat
wantonly thrown on trade, and that the instant
the supply of food is tolerably well assured, trade
will expand into new channels, enterprise will take
a new start, and the demand for loanable capital
increase. One over-ruling general fact is very ap-
parent. Be there peace or be there war, the defi-
ciency of the harvest in Europe, and the great con-
sumption
caused by recent general prosperity, have
everywhere made men alive to the necessity of in-
creasing exertions to produce food, and the prevalent
high price is everywhere stimulating production.
There must consequently be a great increase of busi-
ness and more activity and enterprise. It is unrea-
sonable, therefore, to anticipate a redundancy of
loanable capital or a permanent decline in the interest
of money.

Tim Barsrr.—How long are the authorities at the
Horse Guards to be allowed to revenge Parliamentary
votes by injustice to military officers who hold their
consciences in their own keeping, instead of placing
them humbly at the foot of a Commander-in-chief
When Parliament meets, the subject of Horse Guards
Reform ;should be taken up in earnest by some ener-
getic M.P. Our military establishments are com-
plete Augean stables, no doubt ; but in these sanitary
days a little determination and perseverance might
do wonders for their purification. Among other
things a little publicity and reform might abate the
large amount of injustice now often inflicted for the
gratification of partisan spleen.

of the Chancery bar. The action wss it recover 321. las.
for goods sold and delivered, and the plea was never in-
debted.
Mr. Wood appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Lush and
Mr. Campbell Faster for the defendant.
It appeared that Mrs. Eg►n had been in the habit of
dealing with the plaintiff, and of paying ready mor.ey.
In August, however, she had goods to the amount of about
41. on credit, and subsequently she applied for credit to the
event of 25/., and referred the plaintiff to her solicitor,
who informed the plaintiff that he might safelT give that
amount of credit. It appeared also that the plaintiff knew
that Mrs. Egan had some property of her own, and which
property, it was stated, consisted of a furnished house in
Chester street, Grosvenor-square, which brought in 3001. or
4001. a year. subject to the ground rent and tares. This pro-
perty Mrs E its% held under her marriagesettletnent. Another
fact in the cue was that she had given her acceptance :or the
amount of the debt, although at the time she was *mar-
ried women, and was living with her husband.
His lordship, upon this state of facts, said it was clear
that Mrs. Egan had property of her own amp!j sufficient
for a lady in her station of life, and therefore her husband
was not liable in this satins.

INDEPENDENCE OF TURKEL

On Saturday a deputation, consisting of Lord
Dudley Stuart, M.P., Professor Newman, Messrs. Prout,
Nicholay, Hickson, sod John Wilson, waited upon Lord
Palmerston at his residence, by appointment, with
the following address for presentation to her Majesty,
weed to at the great' public meeting held at the London
Tavern in support of the independence of Turkey. The
deputation was very kindly received by his lordship, who
promised to present the address to her Majesty, and
listened attentively to various observations from the dif-
ferent members of the deputation on the affairs of Turkey.
The deputation then withdrew :

TO TUE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.
May it please your Majesty,—We, your Majesty's faith-
ful and affectionate subjects, being inhabitants of the metro-
polis of Great Britain, in public meeting in the City of
London assembled, beg leave respectfully to represent to
your Majesty that the series of aggressions on the part of
the Russian government convinces us that there exists in
its councils a fixed purpose not only to subdue Turkey but
to domineer over all Europe, and to extirpate all freedom.
We look upon this as the true reason why no diplomatic
settlement of the quarrel between Russia and Turkey
was or is possible, and we lament that your
Majesty's government should have wasted much valuable
time, damaged the just cause of the Turks, inflicted upon
commerce months of needless depression, and (which we
regard as the worst effect of all) inspired universal suspicion
of the good faith of England, in a vain effort to negotiate
with an unscrupulous and violent power, which acted while we
talked, and which, if now momentarily appeased, would
only become more dangerous on some early occasion. We
applaud the glorious and patriotic spirit shown by the
Turkish people at the present crisis, and should deplore any
attempt on the part of your Majesty's government to sup-
press that spirit, considering the many solemn ways in
which England has bound herself to maintain the Turkish
independence, as an act of unparalleled infamy. On the
contrary, not only does the interest, but also the duty and
honour, of England call upon your Majesty's government
to render to Turkey unconditionally prompt, decisive, and
effective aid. In doing this we further beg leave to express our
conviction that it is equally the duty of your Majesty's go-
vernment towards the people of this country to discard all
secret and dynastic diplomacy ; and we must add that in our
opinion Austria, by reason of bet previous course of policy,
and of her recent perfidious behaviour towards Turkey,
ought to be regarded by us as an enemy, and not cherished
as an ally. And we further beg leave to represent to your
Majesty that from the manner in which this question has
hitherto been conducted on the part of England we can
come to no more lenient conclusion than that the servants
who have advised par Majesty are not equal to the emer-
geney.—Dated Oct. 7,1853."

THE LATE MANCHESTER MEETING ON
London, England, 1853-11-21

I haw now seen a minute of the proceedings of
the council of the Bank of France on Thursday. The
only resolution come to was that for the future the
advances on railway shares, instead of being 60 per
cent. on the current price at the Bourse, should he
reduced to 80 per cent., and that the loans on railway
bonds, which had been fixed at 80 per cent., should
be reduced to 70 per seat.
A.project for modifying the statutes of the credit
toaster societies, with a view to facilitate their opera-
tions, is now before the council of state. Government
has granted a sum of 130,000 fr. to each of the socie-
ties of Never' and Marseilles.
Several of the prisoners convicted of conspiracy to
assassinate the Emperor at the Opera Comique lodged
appeals against their sentences in the Colin, of Casea-
tion this afternoon.

M. M. Bratiano, Thirez, Bandy, Rene, Laflize, and
Martin, the six persons who were acquitted on the
charge of conspiracy to assassinate the Emperor,
have not been set at liberty, but are detained to take
their trial for belonging to a secret society.
Several copies of a new pamphlet, by M. Ledru
Rollin, have been seized by the police.

THE POLICE COURTS.

CITY POLICE COMMITTEE.

G. Picket, a carman in the metrics of Mi. J. J. Traven,
wholesale grocer, in Cannon-street, was summoned before
Aldermen Yarebrother and Carter, fur creating au obstruc-
tion in the highway.
City Police-constable No. 493 was called and sworn. He
said, that on the afternoon ot Tuesday, the 15th of Novem-
ber, his attention was called to an obstruction caused by a
cart standing at the corner of Bt. Swithin'a-lane. It re-
mained there from 33 minutes past five to 50 minutes past
five. During that time it was neither loading ma unload-
ing. The defendant was with it. The cart Obauncted the
thoroughfare ; no other vehicle could pan up. It stood a
few yards up from Cannon-street.
Alderman Farebrother—The carman had no right to
block up the thoroughfare. (To the othcer) Had you any
particular interest in taking out the summons?
Officer—None in the lent, sir.

Alderman Farebrother said he thought it right to ask
such a question, for imputations bad been cast upon the
police—he would Lot say by the respectable firm of Messrs.
Travers; but it was notoriously true that they had been
made, to the effect that the constables had some particu-
lar interest or gain in laying such informations, a charge
which he believed had nut the least authority or truth to
support it.
Mr. Sleigh contended that no cue had been made out
against the carman.
Alderman Fsrebrother was of a different opinion, and
lined the defendant 40e. and costs.

Two th •usand right hundred and thirty-ono bales in
condition during the put month • a very large business in
contracts fir new silks, and a cons:astable rise in our prices,
have proved the correctness of the opinion we ventured to
express in our last circular. The advent° in our rates is
daily progressing, so that it is aitite'llt to give correct quota-
tions. Our manufacturers arc well supplied *Eh cutlers,
and their principal anxiety :s to secure the necessary raw
materiel. Compared to other producing countries, France
still utters the cheapest silks ; and we take lore to advises
our friends to lose no time in fallowing the example of thur
Lyons competitors.

their parents, and friends. Mr. Grote, and other old friends

The C11.1110(AN addressed some words of encouragement
to the pu?il•, and expressed his utisfaction at the result of
the gratifying scene which they had just witnessed. After
the many difficulties which the founders of the institution
had to contend with, it must be highly gratifying to them
to sea it ['laced in the high position it then occupied. After
referring to the fact that souse of the highest names in the
country had assisted in the foundation of University
College, ice!uding, amongst others, Lord Brougham,
and his friend beside him, Mr. Grote, and that
some of the students of the school bed maintained it. repu-
tation in the old universities of the kingdom, he lock occa-
sion to lenient that the department of the fine arts bad bet it
hitherto so much neglected in the e.,ely education of young
persons in this country. He hoped that this would soon be
remede d, because the study of the fine arts brought not
only pleasure to the mind, but teud,,l to refine and elevate
it. (lfear, hear)

ELECTION OF LIVERPOOL DOCK COM-
MITTEEJLEN.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.—This is the day ap-
pointed by the act of parliament for the annual election of
eight member* of the deck committee, who go out by rota-
tion. loon- of these arc chosen by the town council and
four by the dock ratepayers—the merchants of the port.
The dock committee consists, therefore, of half of the mem-
bers chosen by the municipal council, and the other half
by the commercial body. This arrangement has only been
a year or two in operation, and has been found to
work satisfactorily. On the present occasion, a political
bias was infused into the contest by the can-
didature of Mr. Thomas Bold, an active partisan in the
conservative interest, and who has recently made himself
conspicuous by hie proposition to change the name of one
of the docks, called after Mr. Bromley Moore, one of the
gentlemen who was defeated last month at the election
which ended in the return to parliament of Messrs.
Liddell and llorsfall. The merchants of Liverpool have
marked their disapprobation of conduct which connected
an electioneering dispute with the management of an estate
like the Liverpool Docks, hitherto free from party in-
fluences, by the rejection of Mr. Bold. The numbers stood
at the close of the voting—Rountlrvaite, 652 ; Steele, 602 ;
Healing, 575; Smith, 66.5; Bold, 152; thus showing a
difference of 200 votes between Mr. Rounthwaites why
represents the stemmpacket interest, and the indiscreet
political partisan.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

The Presse of Vienna announces that the project
of arrangement was sent off from Constantinople to
Vienna on the 20th ult.; and adds that it stipulates
that the Emperor of Russia shall have an express
and formal right. to make representations, through
his ambassador at Constantinople, ou bell& of
Christians in 'Turkey.
The principal intelligence which reached London
yesterday, respecting eastern attain:, has for the mast
part been anticipalcd, in the parliamentary explana-
tions given by Lord John Russell and the Earl of
Clarendon on Tuesday evening. The interest of the
Russo-Turkish question at the present moment turns
upon the receptimi which the at rangenient agreed to
by France, England, Austria, and Prussia, may meet
from the Czar; and further, upon the explana-
tions which that potentate nifty give to Sir
Hamilton Seymour respecting the orders given
to the liospudars for Lidding the payment of the
legal and customary tribute to the Porte. Of the
latter nothing can be known for at least a tortnight
to come, Lut the answer of the Czar to the note de-
spatched by the English government on the 21;th
ult., and which clearly lays down the terms upon
which this country will alone consent to an arrange-
ment of the question is expected to arrive about the
loth or 12th. It is stated that with regard to the
immediate and unconditional evacuation of the Prin-
cipalities, the Emperor must be decisive. If he be
not so in terms, he will, nevertheless, be so in fact--
for any hesitation or postponement -will be construed
as a direct ictimal. Upon the adoption of this
course, it is further said, the French and English
governments are unanimous.

Our correspondent nt Constantinople writes:
CONSTANTINOPLE, Jetv 21.
The Hospodars have announced officially the in-
terruption of their relations with the Porte ; and
moreover, that they arc unable to remit the five mil-
lions due at this date, in consequence of orders to that
effect. This, then, is the inauguration of Russia's
sovereignty in the Sultan's dominions, and which will
endure most probably od ralendas Graras, if we may
judge from the Czar's utter contempt of the law and
public opinion of all Rut ope.
Prince Vogorides, the Moldavian cliargC• d'affaires,
has been also deprived of his cilia:- and emoluments.
This venerable old patriot is now in his calm retreat
at Arnaut-koi, and enjoying, it is to be hoped, the
pleasures of literature in the midst of hi, family
circle. The wrath of tho Czar will jot riKet him
much.

Logotheli, the Wallachian charge' if report
says true, is now at St. Petersburg, and being thus
in a position to plead his ONVII cause will be uo sot.
ferer, it is presumed, in consequence of the new
arrangements.

EAST INDIA HOUSE.

ADJOURNED MEETING.

The proceedings of the adjourned court were re-
sumed yesterday, at the usual hour, Itt wizt.
chairman of directors, presiding. The court was fully at-
tended. The minutes of the former court hating been read,
The CHAIRMAN briefly opened the proctedii.gs by stating
that Mr. Holt Mackenzie bad possession of the chair. lie
at the saute time took the opportunity of stating that the
minute which bail been read at the List meeting had beau
carried in the Court of Directors nem. con. .

--....- _
Mt. M. MACKZSZIE then rose to move certain resolutions,
the effect of which was to postpone further discussion uutil
the bill hail been finally disposed of by the House of Lords,
and to call on the directors to prepare a petition embody-
ing the views of the court on certain point.,
namely, the reduction in the number of directors,
the objectionable mode of election, the nomination, and
the denial:of any right to; the secret committee to advise
the minister of the crown. The resolutions further declared
the opinion of the court that the number of dace ors should
not be less than 24, all to ho sleeted, but of whom sic
might retire annually, and expresstd a strong opinion
against nomination. The resolutions, in conclmion, sug-
gestul that loci:dation should be ptstponed.
Sir E Cot.xnaooxr. seconded the resolutions.

Dr. LouIN objected to entrusting their petition to the
direct on, who had already assented unanimously to the bill.
It would be throwing themselves into the hands of the PM-
listinen (Cheers.)
Mr. Hems complained of the covert intentions of go-
vernment. He had not an n the emended bill, and there-
fore thasigle. that the resolution of the directors to adopt
it was at least premature. The hon. minter concluded by
recommending the adoption of a petition, praying the house
to take measures to preserve the efficiency of the Court of
Directors, and to amend the clauses providing for nominas
tion by the crown."
!dr. AYRION said he had waited with some curiosity for
the explanation of the directors, as to the reasons which had
induced them to accept the government bill.
The CHAIRMAN dulled that the court approved of the
bill, and quoted the minute to show that the court regretted
the faults of the bill, and merely expressed an intention to
defer to the wisdom of parliament.
The Cita' lI.NIAN ultimately put the adoption of the petition,,
which was carried unanimously, and the proceedings terms
nated.

POOR-LAW RELIEF WHILE ON THE STRIKE.—With
reference to relief by local guardians of the men now stand-
ing still in Lanvishire, the Poor Law Board thus lays down
the law:—" Where the applicant has the pecuniary means
of subsistence for himself and his family, from whatsoever
funds those means may be derived, or where be may, if he
pleases, immediately obtain work, and so earn the means of
subsistence, the Board are of opinion that he ought not to
be considered as actually destitute. If, on the other hand,
he has neither money nor work, and is really without the
present m=ans of obtaining either, so that aid from the
poor-rates is absolu•ely necessary for the subsistence 05 him-
self and his family, the guardians ought to relieve him."
A CHILD ILVTILATED BY A ItAT.—One day last
week the wife of a MAP named Samuel Dimery, residing near
Landore, went out of her cottage, leaving her infant, about
three years old, asleep on a bed rein a cradle. On her re-
turn she found that the child was crying vehemently. On
visiting the room in which he was, she observed a large rat
busily engaged in biting the little boy's face. On her ap-
pearance the animal ran up the chimney. It was found
that periling of the child's flesh had been eaten off both the
face and one of the thumbs.—Swansea Herald.

AN AMERICAN WIFE BEATER.—On Saturday
morning last, a man named William Keller, residing near
Fort Edward, Waiihington county, after a night's absence,
returned to his house, at an early hour, and said to his
wife, " You have but a little time to live." He then
knocked her down with a club, and commenced stamping
her with his feet, bruising and mutilating her head's a
shocking manner. His hit!, girl, nine years of age, &Waked
the rearest neighbours, but beforetthey reached the hones
Keller had set lire to it, locked the door, and ran off to the
woods. They brake in, foetid Mrs. Keller lying on the floor
insensible, and the flames rapidly spreading. After

aid procured for Mrs. Keller, who is still alive,7tbough in a
precarious situation. Sheriff Gmdall being at Fort
Eiward at the time, went in pursuit of Keller, and found
him about six ICLOSS distant, in the woods. He had a rope
about his body, and said to the sheriff, " Take this rope
and !mg me, I have lu.d trouble enough." Mr. Gandall
