RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

@ion of the Sultan to ths propositions of Vienna
had yet been made, and the warning given to the
Patrie was a cause of hesitation and uncertainty in
some quarters. The Rente opened below the'
closing prices of Saturday, but buyers, acted
;upon, no doubt, by the cheering tone of
the Emperor's speech, came forward in great numbers,
and the Threes closed (for money) with a rise of 15c.
Railways and other securities, the Credit Mobilier
I especially, were also very well supported.

The Prussian journals have published what pur-
ports to be authentic copies of communications inter-
changed between Itussian and Turkish authorities
relative to the suspension of the remittances of
tribute from the Danubian provinces to Constantino-
ple during the Russian occupation. There appears
no reason to question the authenticity of these papers,
of which a translation is therefore here presented to
our readers.

ITALY.

Letters from Milan of the 19th state that the
Austrian military authorities, who know M. Mu-
sini a little better than some writers on this side the
Alps, were convinced that he was at Milan. Such
was the surveillance exercised, that coffins were
opened at the gates in order to ascertain if Marmini
did not occupy the place of a corpse. A similar
watch was kept along the frontier of Ticino, to arrest
the dreaded chief, should he have succeeded in
escaping from Milan. Finally, a telegraphic order
had been forwarded to Venice and Trieste to sand ships
of war to cruise along the coasts of Venetia, the lega-
tions, and Tuscany.
A letter from Bologna of the 18th inst. announces
that the civil and military government of the pro-
vince had repealed the authorisation to carry arms,
which it had given, in 1850, to the country inhabi-
tants who were most exposed to the attacks of the
banditti.
Aooording to Turin letters of the 21st the Sardi-
nian government was persevering in the expulsion
of refugees supposed to be dangerous. A number of
ithem were to be removed to Genoa, and embarked on
board the British war steamer Retribution, and others
in the American frigate Cumberland. It was stated
that the loan of 2,000,000 Bente@ had been nego-
tiated with the house of Rothschild in Paris.

We read in the Nouvelle Gazette de Zurich, of
the 22nd :—" According to a report forwarded to the
government by the federal commissary, Colonel Dour-
geo a, natives of Ticino, expelled from Lom-
bardy, had already arrived in the canton. Two thou-
sand more were expected. There are in tho canton
of Ticino 5,800 Austrians, and 9,000 in the rest of

COVENT-GARDEN.-THIS D.Y.

In consequence of the continued coldness of the weather,
the supply of vegetables during the past week has hem
but limited; hut of fruit in season there hes bren suffi-
cient for the demand. Table Pears and Apples are,
however, still scarce. Tho former ore 'hues: entirely con-
fined to Buerre Ranee and the latt .r:to American Newtown
Pippins, which are dear. Thu supply of Pine Apples is
pretty well kept up. Forced Str.inherries continue to
make their appearance. Cob and othcr Nuts are
lug fair prices. Among Vegetables, we remarked some
good Green l'eas of foreign growth, and front France we
have new Potatoes, Horn Carrots, Asparagus, Radishes,
and Lettuces. Both Seukale and Rhubarb are pretty
abundant. Potatoes are a trifle dearer. Mushrooms are
scarce. Cut flowers consist of Heaths, Primulas, early

LEEDS NORTHERN RAILWAY.

The half-yearly general meeting of proprietors in
this company was held yesterday at the Stock Exchange
Hall, Leda, THOMAS Coreeramm, Esq., the chairman of
the board of directors, presiding.
The report, which hoe already :appeared in the Express,
was taken as read.
The Caarumax moved the adoption of the report, and
recapitulated its most important features, particularly with
reference to flames end traffic.
lir. C. O. Mamma seconded the adoption of the report.
The report was then adopted, the CHAIRMAN stating, in
reply to Mr. Johnson, that the sum received by the dine-
ton during the last half year was 6001.
Mr. JOHNSON thee directed the attention of the proprie-
tors to what he designated as the miserable state of this
company, which be said was at the present moment worm
than had ever before been known, unless impobition had
been practised upon the shareholder. (Hear.) WY it
right, he sated, with their concern in so miserable a plight,

CLITHEROE.

The evidence in support of the allegations in the petition
from Clitheroe wu resumed yesterday morning before the
select committee. _ _

Joseph Sharpe said he saw money offered by a man at
Wilson's public house for some ale that he had had,
when Myers stopped him, and returned the money, saying
there was so occasion to pay, there was drink for all.
Richard Wilson, who was examined in part on Thunday,
was re-called, and gave his evidence with great reluctance.
He stated he could not remember seeing Bacon about elec-
tion time at all. Did not know the bill was made out for
the cheese by Walker, and given to Bacon. Could not re-
' member any conversation about "long credits" with
Walker, but there might have been. The book containing
the account was made up about two months after the
election. It had been kept on a slate up to that time.
Serjeant Kinglake submitted that it would be a waste of
time to goon with case after case,where:nothing but an offer

The Chairman thought the committee had heard enough
of that.

Mr. Webster said, that being the case, he would call evi-
dence to prove a fresh class of cases. He then called
Richard Connor, landlord of the Commercial Inn, Cli-
theme, who deposed to a meeting being 46 Nat his house
of Mr. Wilson's party. On a subsequiht '

EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.

The half-yearlr meeting of projprietore was held
yes,crday, at .tic 'London Tavern, Mr. WADDINOTOX,
in the eb.dr.
The report, an abstract of which appeared in the Express,
was taken as read. . .

The CIIAIUMAN Mid it now bccame his duty to move
"that the report of the directors, auditors, and officers
now read, together with the statement of accounts Ailed
thereto, be received and adopted." It was with conside-
rable pleasure that he undertook that teak, inasmuch as
the board anti himself were able to congratulate the meet-
ing that the company had emerged trum the difficulties
which at ono time surrounded the undertaking. (Cheers.)
Mr. I'ATER/10N, deputy-chairman, scanted the motion,
which, alto a few comments from shareholders, was
carried.

lir WHALLIRY, M.P., asked whether it was true that
the directors were opposing the Norwich and Spalding line,
after formerly giving a &Alto to construct it themselves
within two years?
The CH/unman said the construction of the line was de-
layed for a lung time for want of money. The company
which was now applying toll parliament wanted running
powers over the Easters Counties line; four or five of its
directors were directors, and the largest subscriber was the
engineer of the Eastern Union Company. Under such
circumstances he thought the board would not be fulfilling
their duty if they allowed the bill to pan without opposition.
Thanks were then voted to the chairman, the deputy.
chairman, the board of directors, the auditors, and the
officers of the company; after which the meeting separated.

Why, 1,2001. wu 1-26th put of their whole revenue.
(liar.) Looking at their position, they ought to exercise
the utmost economy, and he therefore proposed that the
directors should be reduced to 8 from 12, by the proprietors
abstaining from filling up the vacancies caused by the four
who retired at this meeting; and further, that the snow-
ante for direction should be reduced from 1,2001. to 6101.
per annum. (Applause.)
Mr. JAXIS Burl seconded the motion, and after some
discussion, in the course of which the directors were alter-
nately blamed and defended, the resolution, electing the
three retiring director., wu put and carried unanimously ;
aid after thanks to 111 r. Gott, who retires from the direc-
tion, and to the chairman, had been voted, the meeting

NAM of the detective fora. During Widnesday night,
la smiser with Serg. ant Harper of the B division of the
Mkaskanges police, they visited Charter-dreet, a celebrated
mend its thieves and bad characters, and there sue-
, needed in apprehending a tall man, who the chief con-
stable of the Macclesfield police seems to entertain
so doubt, was the leader of the banlitti who entered Mr.
Dun's house. This man was represented as speaking in a
gruff voice and taking the entire command of the robbers
whilst in the house. It will be recollected that he was de-
welted as coming down stairs, after effecting the plunder,
and designating his comrades, who bad been left to tie
Mrs. Dean, Miss Newton, end Mr. Jackson to their chairs,
as a set of bunglers. It will be readily seen from this state-
ment that a strong clue has now been obtained, which will
probably lead to the speedy apprehension of the whole
party. Mr. Dean says that he did not, as has been stated,
wish to resign his office of treasurer to the loan society in
consequence of annoyance at the county court in enforcing
repayment' of loans, but in consequence of the failing of his
eyesight.

iiect of the crop of 1554 should in the spring he unfavourable.
There is • great disproportion between the value of foreign
wheat. not quite sweet, and that of the finer qualities.
Wheats, which at this time last year were worth within 21.
to 4.. per quarter of best English new, are now offering at
6s. to 10s. per quarter less, a plain indication of the large
quantity of this description on hand. We believe farmers
are now thrashing most kinds of grain freely. Our present
prices arc, old English white, 10s. to 10s. 4d. ; red, 9s. 4d.
to 10.. ; new white, Os. to 10s. 3d.; red, 8.. 6d. to 10e. ;
American, 9s. 94. to 101. ; Polish Odessa, 7s. 4d. to 8.. Bd.;
all per 62Ibe. at Birmingham. Grinding barley has ad-
vanced about 3.. per quarter, and is become very scarce.
We do not hear of any more foreign being near at hand,
bet some quantity is on the way from Ireland. Syrian is
worth 345. per 3921 be., at Birmingham. Our market is
also completely cleared of oats, and all kinds are im-
proved in value 4s. per quarter. A few Dutch, and fair ar-
rivals of Irish are exported. Irish white and grey sell at 275.
to 295. per 3121b5. here. No other kiwis at present offering.
Beans are in great part still in the fields, the crop is how-
ev.r very favourably reported of as to quantity ; and the
few dap fine weather since the 27th will have improved its
condition, as well as enabled the farmers to secure them
and their late wheats, of which a large breadth in some
districts was not then harvested. Old English beans have
advanced to 22,. to 245. ; new, 191. to 20s. ; Egyptian,
195., per 1961b5., at Birmingham. We do not hear of any
foreign being on the way to Gloucester. Very few peas
are offering, bat the high price has much lessened the de-
mand. Grey, for grinding, are selling at 20s. ; white, 21s.
par 1961 be.; boilers are held at 609. to 645. per imperial
quarter. The Dui at Gloucester has been taken for con-
sumption at 15s. to 16. , and most of the Indian cora at
15.. 6d. to 16s. 6d. per 1961b5., there. Millet is held at 131.
per 1961 be. No lentils in the market. Our stock at Glen-
rester is now about 85,000 qrs. of wheat, 3,000 qrs. barley',
3,200 qv% beans ; against, on the Ist of September, 110,000

SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT ASTLEI'S.

On Wednesday evening, between eight and nine
o'clock, an accident which will very likely terminate with
loss of life, occurred to one of the supernumeraries at As-
tley's, named George Palmer, residing at Charlotte street,
Blackfriars-road. The man was entrusted with a loaded
, gun to fire of in some part of the performance, and whilst
behind the scent s he had on former occasions amused the
other supernumeraries by applying the muzzle of the gun
to his month, placing the nipple near the gaslight, and extin-
guishing the gas by suddenly blowing the finer parts of the
louse charge through the touch-hole. This was considered
quite a feat in its way ; and on the night in question he
proceeded to do it again. He was cautioned as to the dan-
gerous nature of the trick, but he would not desist. On
applying the touch-hole to the gaslight he unfortunately
inhaled his breath, which drew the flame down to the
priming, and the charge instantly exploded. He was
hurled backwards several yards, and he fell bleeding and
insensible. Assistance being at haad, he was immediately
conveyed to the Westminster Hospital and attended by
Mr. Flagon, the house surgeon, who found upon exami-
nation that the roof of the mouth had been completely
blown away, and the whole face horribly lacerated. He
was alive late last evening, and had returned to conscious-
ness, but there is not the slightest hope of his recovery. The
affair created considerable alarm among the corps drama-
ague at the theatre, as it happened during the perform-
ances.

government en acquittance to a full discharge to the claim
he alleged helm] against it.
The Chief Commissioner said, that as the insolvent could
not attend, the cue must be adjourned, with notice, of
tonne, to the creditors when he would again appear.
As it is uncertain when the insolvent will again appear,
it may be stated that the evidence adduced on the hearing
went to show that the insolvent had formerly been in the
British service, which he quitted soon after the Battle
of Waterloo. Subsequently he became a colonel in the
Spanish army, and is 1349, as agent of the Provisional
Government of Sicily, he came to this country to obtain
arms, clothing, and accoutrements for the insurgents, and
he afterwards gave information to the ambassador of
the King of Naples, by which two steamers wen seized.
Ile was to have been raised to the rank of Colonel in the
Sicilian army, and claimed 2,0001. for arrears of pay and
for the services, die., he had rendered. It was owing to
the nonpayment of his claim that he had become insolvent.
The case, for the reason stated, was adjourned, and it was
intimated on the former occasion that it was not one for as
immediate discharge.

TIM VACANT SCOTTISH JUDGESHIP.— Mr. Inglis,
Dean of Faculty, baa now formally declined the judg,e's
gown vacant by the death of Lord Anderson, which was
placed in his option three weeks since, the delay having
arisen mainly from etiquette requiring that the answer
should not be given until after the receipt of a formal letter
from the Home-office. The judgeship is now to be taken
by the Solicitor-General, Mr. Ilandyside. The new solici•
tor-general will be Mr. Craufurd, sheriff of Perthshire,
whose services to the liberal cause in Scotland are well
known. From these arrangements it will be seen that the
Lord Advocate—within whose acceptance of course the
judgeship lay—has resolved at present not to quit political
life, a resolution manifestly prompted solely by considera-
tions of public duty.—&ofinion.

active work, and the company starts therefore under au-
spices which do not often await upon undertakings of a

GREECE.

The Obsrecer, of Athens, contains a royal ordon-
nance appointing a commission to examine the best
means of supplying agriculture and other depart-
ments of industry with money at a low rate of inter-
est. A bangle fonciers is the remedy in the inten-
tion of the government. The ministerial organ, in
introducing these facts, states that the failure of the
harvest has rendered large importations of corn ne-
cessary, which, concurring with diminished exports,
consequent upon the failure of the currant crop, has
drained the country of its circulating medium.

ITALY.

i The Queen of Sardinia s staying at Bassano, in
the Tyrol, surrounded by five Austrian Archdukes,
her brothers, and several other notables of the Aus-
trian court, among whom arc the Archdukes Charles-
Ferdinand, and William, and the Archduchess
Maria.

It is stated that the widow of the late Archduke
Regnicr will fix her residence at Turin. This will
make the third Austrian Archduchess at that court,
the Queen Dowager and Consort being the other two.
The health of M. de Cavour continues to improve,
and it was believed on the sth that he would be able
on the morrow to transact a certain amount of busi-
ness in his department.
The opening of the new parliamentary session is
fixed for the beginning of March next. The sessions
of the Sardinian Chambers, like those of the Dutch
Legislature succeed one another immediately, and not
after a considerable interval, as in England.
The customs treaty between Austria, Parma, and

henceforth there exists no fiscal frontiers between the

INSURRECTION

AT
MILAN.

We published yesterday the telegraphic despatch
announcing that an insurrection had broken out at
Milan oa the 6th and 7th.

Another telegraph ran as follows
" Au insurrection took place in Milan on Sunday.
"The people rose suddenly in three parts of the
town; several persons were killed. An Austrian
proclamation announces the re-establishment of
order. But the Milan train had not arrived yester-
day at the Swiss frontier.
" Milan is still closed, and it is believed that the
fight has re-commenced. Mazzini's proclamation
was everywhere posted up."
A third telegraph gives the following:
"Tuesday.—A telegraphic despatch from Bellin-
zona of the Bth Feb., 4.30 p.m., announces that the
gates of Milan wero shut, and it was supposed the
insurrection, which had been suppressed, was re-
commenced."

Moos SUPERSTITIONii,—In this ago of fact and
science it is remarkable that even with the well-informed
the okelaith in the " change of Che moon" as a prognostic of
fair and foul weather still keep. its hold. W. W. asks
" have we any proof of " the " carrectneas" of this faith ?
To suppose that the weather vat ism with the amount of
illuminated surface on the moon wouk' maks the change in
the weather vary with the amount of moonshine, which of
course is absurd, as in that case the clouds would have much
more to do with the question than the 1000,1.11 shadow. But
still it may be said the moon may influence ere weather, as
it is supposed to cause the tides. In answer to this I beg
to state the opinion of Dr. Ick, who was for upwards of ten
years the curator of the Birmingham Philosophical
Insti-
tate, an excellent meteorologist, geologist, and notan.et• He
assured me that after the closest and most accurate oboe ree•
Lion of the moon and the weather, he had arrived at Ohs
conclusion that thine is not the slightest observable depend-
ma between thean.-IVoles and Queries.

tI'ESTEH.V tIPNTI.VENT.

''olos than four first-class steam vessels left the
Mersey yesterday for the Western Continent, viz., the
United Saito' mail steam-ship Atlantic, Captain West, for
• w York ; the British and North American screw steam-
ship. Taurus, Captain Little, for Boston ; the Liverpool
and Philadelphia Company's screw stesm-ahip, City of
Illeachester, Captain Robert Leitch, for Philadelphia
end the South American Company's new screw steam-
sh,p, Brasili ~,, Captain Daniel Green, (or Bahia, Rio
Janeiro, and Pernambuco, &c. The Atlantic sailed shortly
beixe two pm. with tho usual mails, 218 paseengers,
▪ ngst whom was Coloael Crittenden, late Cnited Stites
Consul far this port, brides 720 tons of general inerchaa-
diss on freight. Just before her departure copies of the London
rooming papers we, e placed on board by Messrs. Willmer
and Smith, of Liverpool, fur the prey; and news rooms 'Attie
western continent. The Taurus being completely filled
with cargo did not carry any passengers. The City of Mks•
chests, had ISO cabin passengers, besides several steerage
occupyiud berths, ands NU cargo of merchandise ou freight.
The Bratiliera is the pioneer of cargo steamers for the
Brazils. She had on board 20 punnets, and about
guieoi.U. in specie, and 200 tons cargo of valuable merchax
• sue would have been quite full of goods, had not the
ship:nag regulations prevented goods fr an being taken to
she last moment. The Brazilian laws as to shipping are
very strict, and it is to be hoped that that government will
adapt its customs to the pintoess of steam navigation. The
Brarle ra carried out a large quantity of the productions of
Manchester, and also of French manufactures. She will be
'acceded by the Olinda, on the 21th of September, and the
Lusitama on the 24th of October next. The Braziliera
earned out the English mails tor the South Coast of
America.

TO THII IDITOIt OF TII2 ZXPRFAI9._

St a,—Some mistake the report or the investi-
gation with regard to the dispute between the secretary of
the Fire Annihilator Company and myself as the patentee
of the said invention compels me to request you to insert in
your columns the true version of my statement, for instead
of being represented to have said that on " finding that
certain reports were in circulation calculated to injure the
company I had ceased to have any interest in the patent," I
Mated that the company having issued a prospectus which
alleged that the patent was vested in the company, I did, in
order to secure my rights, protest against the promulgation
of such a misrepresentation, and tore up the prospectuses
alluded to, as the company is only working under a condi-
tional license granted by me under my patents.
As I am the largest shareholder in the company, as well
as the propriaor of the Engliph and many foreign patents
of my inv.intion, I trust you will cncsider it but just incorrect
the misstatements into which your reporter has been led.
