rou2smolrim, Nov. 25.—The crew of the Duke of
Wellington, 131, screw steam-ship, Commodore Martin,
C. 8., were paid up wages to-day, preparatory to her sailing,
in conjunction with the other ships of Hear-Admiral Cony's
squadron, fur the westward, which they were expected to
do to-morrow. Their departure is, however, now poetponed
till about the middle of next week. The Leopard, 12,
paddle-wheel steam frigate, Captain George Clifford, arrived
this stoning from Malts and Gibraltar, whither coke had
conveyed troops. Her dates have been anticipated by the
mail sieenters. She left Malta ea the 10th instant, and has

A letter from Constantinople, 10th, in a Vienna
journal, says :—" The armaments are still going on,
as it is intended to double the effective strength el*
army. A considerable number of Russian
have arrived at Constantinople. They trete Erieaepimard
in a Greek house, under the surveillance of the
Turks."
The various announcements which in the course
of yesterday reached London from the Danube
have more coherence than we have been accustomed
to find in the news from that quarter. We have in-
telligence from Bucharest as late as Tuesday last, to
which date there had been no new battle, and the
disposition of the forces of both genera. was such as
to lead to the belief that each was ender orders
to abstain from hostilities. The evacuation by the
Turks of the two islands respectively opposite
Oltenitza and Giorgi-so, mentioned in the de-
spatches given above, would be dictated by the
rising of the Danube. But it is farther said
that the mass of the Ottoman forces have retired
from Giurgevo, Turtukai, Billable, and the other
passages of the Danube, leaving only detached posts
there and have re-entered the lines at Schmid'.
Ismail Pacha's corps is still in all probability at
Kalafat, or if, as the Patric and the Berlin Voss
Gaul& persist in asserting, Turkish troops have
entered Krajowa, it is without a battle. The
cessation of hostilities on the Turkish side will be
fully accounted for, if we suppose that Fuad

METROPOLITAN COMMISSION OF SEWERS.

Yesterday a special court of the commission was
held at the Sessions house, Newington Causeway, to bear
and determine upon various matters connected with the
sewers on the South side of the Themes. Mr. RICHARD

only other commissioners present were Mr. Gee. Baker and
Mr. Laurence Redhesd.

This return is a very favourable one, as it indicates
increased strength on the part of the Bank. The
decrease in the private securities is considerable, and
argues an easy. state of the money market. The
heavy increase in the Treasury deposits attests the
flourishing state of the revenue. The large increase
in the stock of government securities held by the
Bank is one of the most remarkable features of the
return. It is probable the Bank has withdrawn a
considerable amount of stock which it had previously
lent in the market. The decrease in the bullion is
trifling and rather less than was expected. It must
not be overlooked, however, that during the present
week the money market and the current of the pre-
cious metals have taken a decidedly unfavourable
turn. The next return of the Bank will show a re-
markable falling off in the stock of gold.

which encroached on the river. Again, with regard to'
eguithaPid, by charter of Charles 1., it was declared th't no
houses shnild be built on Moortivl 4s, ar.d it was a question
whether the rights of Oa City were not forfeited, as it was
notorious that 3asithfiedmisrket 'll4O/ not on i•tenth of the
mislaid space required to be :efc...p.n and the coronation

It appears to me that the whale metropolis shoot l be
formed in distinct sorporations under the Municipal Corpo-
ration Aot. I would leave to the City of London all the
legal rights which it now possesses sa to property, The
question of magistracy, police, and sewerage being settled,
I think great advantage would arise if the whole local sets
of the City were repealed, and the entire metropolis, in-
cluding tho City, divided into municipal Hes. I wenn',
however, preserve to the City of London the liveries which
it now possesses. I think they might be made a very
useful body. I would have the mayor, chamberlain,
bridge masters, and sheriffs appointed in Common Hall, a s
now. The companies, I think, should be greatly reformed.
Those companies, which are what they profess to be only
in name, I would abolish or suffer to rennin es volun-
tary societin. I would preserve the companies as repre-
senting the trade of London. I think the companies repre-
sent more of the trade of London than the household free-
men. More of the great merchants and bankers are
members of the companies than of the corpora-
tion. I would restore the connexion between the
companies and the trades which they represent.
I. would regulate the admission to the livery by positive
law. I would admit no man who was not elected by the
freemen. The man whoelect now are not tradesmen. I

I would not retain the distinct:on between the Court of
Aldermen end the Court of Common Council. I believe
the power of the Court of Aldermen formerly was that of a
veto, but that relation is now gone. The aldermen have a
great deal of patronage. I believe they decide by a ma-
jority, but stranger. are excluded when they Pot*. I
would have the higher officers of the City elected by the
livery. That does not apply to judicial antlers. I don't
approve of the appointment of the aldermen for life. I
would have all the members of the corporation elected
annually.

TELEGRAPHIC INVENTION.--The Of vial Venice
Gazelle states, in a specisl article, that the Olympic Aca-
demy of Vicenxs, having carefully examined the discovery
made by their fellow-citizen Tremeschini (mentioned about
six months ago) of electric telegraphy by secret transmis-
sion, ha• publicly dccl tred it to be a most succAisful inven-
tion. The commission appointed to test its efficacy wax
composed of the councillnr-delegate, of the l'odesta, the
superior commissary, and the academic council. The first
experiment consisted in sending and receiving s despatch
in the common way, without secretly. In the second expe-
riment a detpatch was sent secretly, anti the answer re-
ceived in the same manner, by the aid of the new appara-
tus. In the third a despatch was sent openly, and the
answer received secretly, to show that the secret apparatus
might be used or impended at will. The results of the in-
query show—first, that the apparatus of Tremeschini may
be applied to Morse's telegraph ; secondly, that when the
despatch is tent secretly it can only be received so, any
fraud in that respect being subject to immediate detection ;
thirdly, that 'ferny may be suspended cm applied at plea-
suee. The report of the commission is highly eulogistic of
the invention.

PHOTOGRAPHY ON TEXTILE FAIIitICS.—MeMirS.

and a portrait on linen or lung cloth can bo forwarded in a
letter. A', moreover, tlese protogra2hs can be obtained at
a cheaper rate than those on metal or paper, the art will
become more popularised. Messrs. Wulff keep their pro-
endue yet went, bat it is thought that they operate on a

the Clarendon, and were engaged in deliberation about two
hours. Of course the resulu of their deliberations are not
promulgated at present.
CoLLEOII RATING.—Our correspoadent says :—" The
hoard of guardians having agreed to accept one-fourth of
the poor rates as the quota to be paid by the university, and
refused to concede to that body an equal share of represen-
tation at the beard, the town council met yesterday, and,
after sit hours' discussion, agreed by 22 votes to B to send a
memorial to the board to reconsider the question. This
course was taken in consequence of its having been inti-
mated to the chairman of the board of guardians that, if
the subject could be reconsidered, the share of representa-
tion would be agreed to, as well as the quota. The univer-
sity authorities, however, have this day consented to pay
such a quota of the poor rates as a valuation of their pro-
perty shall justify, and iu the mean time to pay one-fourth,
subject to au increase or decrease, as the result of the valua-
tion may be. This is on the express understanding that
they shall be put on an equality with the city, and have an
equal share of representation at the board. The offer is re-
garded as a liberal one on the part of the university. There
is reason to believe that the offer will be cordially seceded
to, as it appears to meet the views of all parties."

'NOTICE TO SEA CAPTAINS.
The Ministry of Marine has ordered a buoy to be placed
at the extreme point of the covered part of the Reef of
Friedericiesort, from which the old buoy will stand west
north, and the beacon on the ramparts west north wee-.
The n..w buoy consists of an iron rod fixed in the ground,
at the upper end of which, in the day time, era fixed three
balls, painted red and white, forming an even-aided triangle,
the two lower balls being in a horizontal line.
As a beacon, in the night time, a lantern will, in the
course of next month, be bung from the rod, at • height of
16 feet from the water, which will be lighted at the same
time as the beacon on the tamper% namely, from half an
hour after sunset until sunrise.

Should storms, or drift ice, or other impediments, render
it impossible to hang out the lantern on the rod, a reserve
lantern will in that case be hung on a pole in the immediate
neighbourhood of the beacon, and a little above it.
further details will be given with regard to the lighting
of this beacon.

DEPARTURE OF THE QUEEN FROM OSBORNE.

PORTSMOUTH, Ara. 2.

Her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert,
the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and two of the
younger branches of the royal family, came over to this
port to-day, en route to town. The royal party left
Osborne • little before eleven o'clock, and embarked at

East Cowes goon after, on board the Fairy, Master Com-
mander Welch, Commodore Lord Adolphus Fitselarenee,
(1.0. M., being on board. In a few minutes afterwards, the
yacht was under weigh, having the royal standard floating
at her main, the union jack at tho tote, and the Admiralty
flag at the wizen.

In anticipation of her Majesty's crossing, the whole of
the ships comprising the fleet at Spithead, together with
those in harbour, dressed is colears at au early
hour in the morning, whilst the royal staut!.rd
was hoisted at the various government establishments.
As the royal yacht Fairy approached the fleet a
royal general salute was fired by the flag-ship Prince Re-
gent, 90, Captain Hutton, which was immediately taken up
by the whole fleet, comprisinT IS men-of-war of various
sixes. A very heavy cannonade was the result, which must
have been heard many miles inland. The ships also manned
yards, the seamen being dressed in blue jackets and white
trousers. The Fairy passed by the fleet, and as elle ap-
proached the platform battery another royal salute was
tired:hy the garrison. which was taken up by the Victory
and Neptune, 120, in harbour. At five minutes to twelve,
the Fairy entered the harbour, and was soon alongside the
Clarence-yard Jetty.
At Clarence-yard, the following officials were present to
receive her Majesty: Admiral. Superintendent Fatishawe.
C. 8., Commander-in-Chief in the absence of Vice-Admiral
Sir T. Cochrane, K.C.B. ; Major General Simpson, Lieute-
nant-Governor ; Colonel Commandant Mehaier, K.H.,
Aide-de Camp to the Queen ; Captain Courtney, Superin-
tendent of Clarence-yard ; Jahn Davies, Esq., Master At-
tendant ; Joseph Tinhorn, Eaa., Sterekeeper ; Mills,
Esq., Director of the South W.stern Railway Company ;
Mr. Beattie, Locomotive Superintendent ; Mr. Scett,
Traffic Manager ; Mr. Godson, Superintendent; and Mr.
1 Stevens, of the Oosport Railway Terminus. A guard of
honour was in attendance from the Royal Marine., with
the band of that corps, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel
Childs.
Her Majesty having landed, proceeded to the royal train,
which immediately started for its destination. Her Majesty,
, Prince Albert, and the royal children, appeared to be t
good health.

The Errnimy Moil has the fulluwing account of an
atrocious attempt to assassinate a clergyman in the
Kittle:. County :
On Fiiday night, a little• after eleven o'clock, the Rey.
Witham 'reran', vicar of ('lare, was fired at in his own
boom-, situated about three miles trim the town. Mr.
Tempi° bad jest cote red his study, with a lighted candle
in his hand, when a shot was she-charged through the win-
dow, the shutters of whirls bail not bet ti closed Provi-
dentially the rev. gentletuon escaped unhurt, although the
am.,..10 hied in the direction of a desk at which Mr. Turpin
was in the habit of sitting. Toe charge took effect in the
winders stutter, close to the desk. As yet, no probable
cause has been assigned fur the commission of this attocume
ac . Mr. Turpin is a win of a singularly genii• and un-
otresidiog diepewitioa, and had oily retently taken possession
of the viesrage. Be succeeded the late ltev. Shelton
Gressaa, whine life was Li:C.OW in a somewhat similar
manner about twelve )ears ago. Mr. GreaBlll was fired
at while r.turoing home in Lit gig from a ilieutt's house
where he bad dined.

Messrs. O'Brien and Fitzgerald, the sitting mem-
bers for Clare, bare issued a joint address of thanks
to their constituents, baying, as they state, deferred
doing so until the time allowed by the rules of the
house for presenting a jetition against their return
had elapsed.
The weather continues moist and heavy, yet no
unsatisfactory account of the crops is heard in any
quarter. The period has pasted by within which
the dreaded potato blight made its appearance in
former years, and as it has only shown itself so far in
a few i,olated cases, the hope that we shall escape the
calamity this year is beginning to grow into confi-
dence.

STRIKE OF DOCK LABOURERS.

Yesterday the attempt to carry out a complete I
cessation of labour until the concession of a blither rate of
wages was renewed at the London Docks. Large numbers
of labourers hung about the dock gates all day, and mani-
fested a disposition to molest those who were willing to
give their labour for what they considered a fair remunera-
tion. The presence of a strong body of police, sp, cially
sent to the spot for that purpo-e, effectually prevented a
repetition of the outrage of the previous evening, but when
the time arrived for the extra labourers, about 500 in num-
ber, being "taken on" at the principal entrunce, they made
known their wishes by shou•iag as loud es they were able
" Three eihilliwo per day, and 4:pence per hour over
time." A day's work in the dock, for which 2s. GI. has
hitherto been paid, is from 8 in the morning till 4 in the
afternoon. Sometimes the " casuals " and "extras" are
only employed four or six hours, and they arc then paid 4d.
per hour. The demands of the men were not complied
with, and they formed themselves into groups near the dock
gates, and intimated that those who laboured for the old
prices must look rut at night.
About the middle of the day matters became more com-
plicated by the labourers on the jetty, in the basin, where 1
the Australian and East India ships are moored, sending in
a memorial for an increase of pay, which not being com-
plied with, they also struck work. A few minutes before
eleven about 200 labourers, principally from the tea ware-
houses, marched in procession from the dock gates to the

Cutler-street warehouses of the St. Katherine Dock Com-
pany in Itoundsditch, calling on their way at the St. Ka-
therine Dock and Nicholson's Wharf, and shouting 3s. per
day and 6d. over time, but no one joined them. A similar
cry was raised at the warehouses in Cutler-street, but not
responded to. The labourers then returned in a very
orderly manner to the neighbourhood of the London Dock,
and at four o'clock the streets near the principal entrance
WO crowded to excess. Much inconvenience to merchants
and shippers has been experienced, and the import as well
as the export trade of the dock has been partially stopped.
The labourers in the other docks arc only waiting the
result of the strike in the London-dock to demand an in-
crease of wages; but the directors of the London-dock
Company anticipate a plentiful supply of labourers at the
old prices, if they can be preserved from violence, which
the police arrangements will tffect.
Preparations fur the strike of the East and West India-
dock labourers were commenced yesterday afternoon, by
large tables, with memorials upon them for higher wages,
being exhibited fur the signatures of the labourers, who
were called upon to sign on leaving the dock at 4 o'clock.

The directors of the Loudon•docks have issued an ad-
dress, stating that they are still payio; the wages paid in
1824, when all necessaries were considerably d ban
at present, and stating their intention to put the law in
force against all persons interfering with the liberty of
labour.
London, England, 1853-08-03

TERMINATION OF TILE STOCKPORT STRIKE-

The great turnout of factory operatives at Stock-
port is virtually at an end. The master spinners have
found that, however great the sacrifice may be from giving
an advance, which present prices for their produce will not
cover, the loss they are sustaining from closing their
establishments, leaving: capital lying waste, is likely to be
much greater; so they have capitulated. They have
issued a notification to the operatives, which in
effect offers an advance of 10 per cent. to the
spinners, and of 5 per cent to the weavers. In
compliance with this offer, it is expected that the spin-
ners will resume work this (Wednesday) morning. The
weavers have peremptorily refused the offer of 5 per cent.,

still demanding an unconditional submission to their full
claim for 10 per cent., but it is hoped a modification will be
submitted to by them when they sea their fellow-workmen,
the spinners, i■ employ spin. The strike is now in its
eighth week, and it is believed the lesson taught to both
sides will be one too severs to be soon forgotten. The work-
men have purchased a victory which it is calculated that,
with two yea's' full work, they will scarcely recover from;
and the masters have suffered in equal proportion. An
intelligent and one of the largest employers amongst them
calculates the loss of all parties in the struggle at from
130,0001. to 1;.0,0001.

DUBLIN CARRIAGE BILL.

This bill ma rend a third time and passed.
SMOKE NUISANCE ABATEMENT (METROPOLIS)
BILL.

This bill pas.ed through committee, with an amendment
from Sir B. Hall, deferring the operation of the bill till the
31at of December.

Mr. A. PELLATT said he gave his full adherence to the
principle of the ball, but he was convinced that its pro-
visions could not be carried out without putting an end to
many of the works in Lambeth. Ile would propose an
amendment on the first clause, to insert in three places the
words "steam engine."
Lord PALM ERSION said if the bill was confined simply
to steam engines it would not put a stop to those numerous
volc►noes which were now poisoning London.
After a eons, rsatinn,
Lard PALMERSTON consented to report progress, and
fix the neat sitting of the committee for Thursday next, in
order that in the meantime further inquiries might be made
respecting the OWLS furnaces.

COLONIAL CHURCH REGULATION BILL.

On the motion for the second reading of this bill,
Lord J. RUSSELL said he could not agree to the bill in
its present shape. His hon. and learned friend the Solicitor-
General had prepared some clauses, which ho thought
would attain the object desired ; and he proposed to post-
pone the second reading till Monday.
Mr. A. KINNAIRD protest ml against proceeding with
the bill at this period of the session, and objected to the
government supporting a measure interfering with colonial
legislatures, contrary to the principle they laid down at the
beginning of the session. Ile should oppose the bill strongly,
and he moved that it be read a second time that day three
mnnths. . .

ggAfter some conversation, the motion was put and ne-
gatived ; the effect of which is that the bill is lost fur the
session.

PUBLIC WORKS (IRELAND) BILL.
On the motion for going into committee on this bill,
Cul. DUNNE asked whether the works were to be pre-
sented in the ordinary way in Ireland.
Sir J. YOUNO gore a brief saplanation of the provisions
of the bill. _ _ _

After a few words from Mr. Mrcartney, Mr. I. Butt
(who moved the adjournment of the debate), Mr. George,
and Sir It. Ferguson, . .

Sir J. YOUNG consented to the adjournment of the
debate.

A CLERGYMAN GAROTTED.

A daring outrage of this kind wu perpetrated at
Worcester on Thursday night, and has caused no small con-
sternation in that city. The Rev. George St. John, who
resides in Britannia-square, Worcester, was returning home
from a party, shortly before eleven o'clock on Thursday
evening, and had approached within a short distance of his
house, when he heard some men walking rapidly behind

by two men, and felt u hand applied tightly over his mouth
and another grasping his throat. Ills arms were also held
firmly, so as to prevent any resistance being made. The
reverend gentleman s'ruggled violently against his assail-
ants, but they proved tao strong for him, and throttled
him so closely that he became insensible. When con-
sciousness returned he found himself at the door, and was
not aware that he had been u;ilan the ground. It seems that
the servants at the house were expecting his return, and
that, hearing a shuffling at the doge, one of them looked
front an upper window and saw a man lying on the ground
with two others leaning over him, but she supposed them to
be a drunken party. Soon afterwards she saw two of the
men place the third ngainet •he wall as though he was un-
able to stand, and she thought they had determined to leave
him. A quarter of an hour after, however, the servants
beard a knocking at the door, and a feeble voice, which they
mistook for that of a drunken man, and it was with some
difficulty that Mr. St. John made them understand that it
was be who was knocking. On their opening the door they
saw their master with his face covered with blood, and he
' was so much injured and exhausted that medical assistance
had to be called in. Mr. St. John is still very ill. The
thieves robbed him of a gold watch, a purse containing a 51.
note and four sover-ions, a gold key, a gold seal, gold eye-
, glass, and other articles.

THE ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY.

. Mr. HUME called attention to the memorial presented
from the Royal Geographical Society on 13th May, for
rooms for the runtime of their institution.
The CHADVJELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied
that his noble friend at the head of the government had
with the strongest sympathy in the objects of the society,
taken the request contained in their memorial into his con-
sideration, but he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) was
not in a coniition at present to say what measures might
be adopted. There were many circumstances which made
it difficult in the present session to make the provision re-
quired, but he begged to be allowed to take that opportu.
nity of acknowledging publicly the merits of the society,
and, the claims it had upon the consideration of the govern-
ment for such aid as could he reasonably given to assist it
in carrying on its operations. (Hear, hear.)

EARL FITZ W I I.LIA NI A\l) THE ELECTION

FOR PETERBOROUGH.

Robert Lee, a farmer, deposed that before Toting
Whalley at the last election he received u ranch as 40/.
a-year for the supply to the Fatimaliam bailiffs of drilling
and thrashing machines. but that now he received nothing.
Ile would not vote for the Fitewilliam candidate (Mr.
Cornewall Lewis), and Etrllliam's bailiff (Gibbs) on
paying hint his last bill said •' he was determined to stop it,
and that he would not employ any one who voted agai•tat
the lire!, and that he was ordered es to do, and would have
nothing of that sort done against the Milton interest while
he held the situation."

Cross-examinedl;Y Mr. JAMON, Q.C.—Cnuld neither read
Ira write, but put his mark to tne Winn for the present
inquiry. Admitted it was the first time he had voted, and
thst the Fitzwilliam bailiffs now had drills and thrashing
machines of their own.

Mr. W. Penney, printer and stationer, of Peterborough,
occupied a house under Earl Piteniiliam a! V/. ii-tear
since 1530. Was urged by the canvassers for the Fitzwillism
carviidate (Mr. C. Lewis) to vote fur that gehtleman, but
refused. Subsequently be ass served by Mr. Amsetl, Eiri
Eitznillism's under steward, with a nctice to quit, or
to pay an advaree of 5/. per annum rent. Mr. Wil-
kinson afterward. came to witness's shop, and real him
a letter from Esrl Fitzwilliam, the substance of which was
a. follow.: —" Mr. Wilkinson is perfectly right i■ inform.
ing Mr. Pentney that he is at liberty to continue in the
house provided he pays an advanced rent; but it Mr.
Pentney elertiACS his frunehise offensively, or uses the press
and prints and circulates anything offensive to me or my
friends, I shall feel bound to have him removed." (Seesa•
Linn ) R'itnc•s cochl not vouch fir the exact words of the
letter, but that was the tenor of it. Witness had not the
letter, but Mr. WO:ins:in bail it, and could probably pro-
duce it.

The witness was rigidly cross examined by Mr. Serjeact
Kinglv.ke, but without devil ion from his ilenosition in
chief, admitting that he had printed handbills calling
meetings of the ratepayers to protest against Oise tyranni-
cal proceedings against tenant,.
By the lion. Chairman and Liddell—Thought that
if lac paid 5/. extra rent, he was at liberty to exercise his
, franchise as he liked.

Others gave evidence to show that after voting for
Whalley they were served with notions to quit, or had rents
raised; and that their removal (ruin their established place
of trade was calculated to cause them injury.

CRIMINAL CODS OF MALTA

Mr. KINNAIRD inquired of the Under Secretary of
State for the Colonies, whether there was any objection to
lay on the table of the house, so much of the Criminal Code
of Malta, tranfnaitteil to and lying at the Colonial Office to
be laid before her Majesty for approval, as related to the
punishment to be inflicted fur offences against the respect
due to religion ?
Mr. F. PEEL could not enter into any engagement upon
the subject at present.
Mr. KINNAIRD hoped the government would give him
an opportunity:of bringing the question before this house be-
fore the close of the session.
