THE FUTURE ELECTORAL FRANCIIISE.

TO TUE EDITOR OF TUE DAILY NEWS.
Stn,—ln your remarks of to-day oa the subject
of the proposed new Reform Bill, you lay much stress on
the adoption of Lord John Russell's scheme, in his abor-
tive bill of last yen, for lowering the franchise to a stand-
ard of five pounds. It seems to have escaped recollection
that the noble lord coupled this provision with another—
namely, the fixing of the future county •oting qualification
at twenty pounds. Now, as most or all of the boroughs
that would be materially affected by the suggested reduc- '
tion are doomed to disfranchisement, it is to the counties
and unrepresented towns we must chitty look for an en-
larged constituency ; and public opinion now points to an
equalised and uniform qualification both for town
and county. Tu fix cue county qualification a'
less than ten pounds, no refl.cting person would
probably wish; and a little calculation will show
that a larger and more eligible body of the people would be
added to the constituency by an universal standard of 10/.
than would be had on the boraugh 51. plan, with 291. in a
county. Another point has to be considered, which is the
facility and justice afforded by • general lOL qualification
In the case of borough disfranchisement; for then every
elector would he transferred to the county list, a change
which would almost universally be considered an advantage
rather then a grievance. IL T.
Nov. 21

trite estsbashment of • 104, county franchise bas always
been advocated in theme columns, and long ego we pointed
out that the adoption of that amount u a county qualifica-
tion would have the effect of saving any Italians Bill that
took memb• n from small boroughs (rim the charge of
being a disfranchising bill. Indeed, the Daily News was
the tint journal that urged thin point. But a 101. county
franchise would do this good without at all interfering with
the establishment of a 61. franchise in towns.)

IMPORTANT FROM TILE SEAT OF WAR.

VIENNA, TCZSDAT.

The Austrian CorrexponAnce announces that
General Bariatinsky hu been defeated and beaten
back by the Turks, in Georgia, between Gemni and
Altazich.

Private despatches were received yesterday in
London, stating that French and English war ships
had entered the Black Sea.

Telegraphic advices from llermannstadt, dated
Saturday last, state that Ismail Pacha's corps, con-
sisting of about 25,000 men, was advancing upon
Krajowa. The Turks had constructed fortifications
about four miles from Kalafat.

The Russian force in Wallachia is very small.
General Datinenberg's troops were detained at
Oltenitzs, and General Fischback only commands
a division of light cavalry (4,000 men), while the
vanguard of the sth army-corps, wider General
Anrep, consists of no more than the above-mentioned
cavalry division and an infantry brigade of 8,000
men.

GOSSIP ABOUT A ROYAL DREAM.—To the Editor
of the Doily Nees.—Traveller's Club, Nov. 21.-84: Thou-
sands are effected by dreaming ; and belief in them, how-
ever unwise, is • fact. This induces me to remind you of
I the morsel of prevalent gossip—that last January • curious
story was circulated respecting a dream which had rather
annoyed en illustrious personage, because it foretold—" A
cold spring,' wet summer,' fine autumn, end a dead Queen."
Now, although (with great propriety) this was never pub-
licly alluded to at the time, still it excited some anxiety in
the mind of many a superstitious loyalist. This anxious
feeling may perhaps at the present moment be allayed is
cue you think it prudent to notice the demise of the Portu-
guese Sovereign.—l am, &c., your constant subscriber,

litliDAT.—Everyday, and almost everyhour,brings
sow evidence of the guilt of the prisoner. ldr. 8. Herr
man, of Lyon, who was the deceased's only friend in this
emery, and formerly his partner for several you", pro-
ceeded this writing to Tatlethal!, for the purpose of
making arrangaments for chastiser the body after the
*sot. Knowing that the dimmed was in the course of
his journey to having taken a watch to • person at Tittle-
shall, bat that no such watch had been found on the body,
Mm. Herrman suggested that • more minute search should
be imitated at the prisoner's residence, in order to outer-
Ws whether the watch in question was concealed there.
In the court. of the search which was accordingly made
one of the officers opened the door of an oven, which son-
ta.ned several pairs of boots, upon which the prisoner's
father said, Oh, that has bees searched before." The
Mace' of course persisted, sad behind the boots be found •
silver watch, with the name "L. Bebe," as maker. In
the chimney was found another watch, by the same
maker, end in the water-closet • roams bag or purse
cestahing a Geneva watch, two five pound notes of the
Lyon sad Lincolnshire Bask, two sovereigns, four half-
eireerel, and ose pound and teapence in silver. I
Is the ase were also hued a bunch of watch.keys,
and another of larger keys; but it has sot yet been
ascertained whether either of them will fit the lock of
deceased's box, as this remains sealed up at Lanham, where
the magistrati a' meeting is held.
The deceased was a Booms catholic, not • Jew. He
was unmarried, cad had no relations in England.
The prisoner owed money to the deceased on account of
the watch he had purchased of him. Until the inquest,
sad the final hearing before the magistrates, be remains in
easto..y at Waliingham G.ol. ilia general character is
said to be bad, and that of his family by no means good.
His age is only eighteen.

TILE ROYAL Mmes.—Theft who have visited!
Malvern, will remember the Teat quantity of donkeys who
rejoice is the cognomen of " The Royal Mows." Their
history Is al fVUOWS —When the late Queen Dowager was
at Malvern she frequently uncoiled the hills on donkey- I
back ; and en all such cecasione patronised a poor old
woman, whose stud had been reduced, by • succession of
misfortunes, to • solitary donkey, who answered to the
name of " War." At the close of her visit, her Majesty,
with that kindness of heart which was such a distinguishing
trait in her character, not only liberally rewarded the poor
old woman, but asked her if then was anything that she
could do for her which would be likely to bring back her
former prosperity. The old w ,man turned the matter over
in her mind, and then said, " nem. your Majesty to give a
name to my donkey." This her Majesty did. " Moms"
became " the Royal Moses;" everybody wanted to ride
him; the old woman's custom increased; and when the
favoured aoimal died (for Le is dead), he left behind him a
numerous family, all of whom are called atter their father,
" the Royal Moses."—From Setts and Queries.

There has been a moderate amount of business in

change in prices. Dividend stocks continue in de-
mand, with few sellers offering. We hear of sales in

There was rather a revival of business in the gold
mining shares, the public coming in in the hope of
good advice. from Australia. The inquiries were
chiefly for Port Phillip, Colonial Gold, Nouveau
Monde, New Grenada, and British Australian. The
shares of this last named company closed 9-16 to
1-16 prem., owing to the directors having com-
pleted an arrangement for the working of a valuable
auriferous estate in Australis, without purchase, but
giving the owners of the estate 15 per cent. nett
royalty on the gold found. The company are thus
saved all the risks attendant on purchasing any
property.
The British Iron Company's shares are 11. lower.
Those of the United Mexican and Old Australian Cop-
per Companies were better. Santiago shares also
left off better, at 64 to 74.

ITALY .

The Milan Ca:Me of the Ist has an article on tho
railroad of Central Italy, from which it appears that
a decision has been at last come to in favour of its
starting from Pistoia, which already communicates
with Florence, Lucca, Pisa, Leghorn, and Siena, and
will soon be in communication with Rome. From
Pistoia the new line will cross the Apennine, and
extend to Bologna along the valley of the Reno,
thence branching out to Modena, Reggio, Guastalla,
and touching the Po opposite to Borgoforte, where it
is to meet the Mantua line, which will connect it
with the Austrian railways. Another t•ranch of the I'
central line extends to Parma, Piacenza, Milan, and
Pavia, and thence goes to meet the Turin and Genoa
line. The total extent of the lino is 210 kilometres
(168 miles); it touches at six large cities, connects
the three valleys of the 'fiber, Arno, and Po, with
the whole of Central Europe, and the Mediterranean
with the Baltic and the North Sea. It is to be con-
structed by a powerful company, numbering among
its members Messrs. Brassey, Jackson, I. ell, and
Jopling. The capital to be employed amounts to 80
millions of francs.

The Genoa Mediterraneo of the 3rd, contains the
following :
We learn by our private correspondence from Florence
that the Austrian troops in garrison at Ravenna and Feria
were, on the 30th ult., marching upon Rimini. with artil
levy and other wsrlike implements. This movement was
ascribed at Fames to a report that the Austrian Hag had
been torn dawn at Rimini ; but it was more generally be-
lieved that its object was to concentrate an Austrian force
along the military line of the Cattolica.

TCBSDAT ETZNIXO.
There was a further rise in the railway market
to-day, which was well supported until towards the
official close, when there was a partial reaction.
London and North Western stock reached 119; to
120, but was then more offered, and receded to 119
to York and North Midland stock was very
buoyant, and in most cases the closing official quota-
tions show a sensible advance on those of yesterday.
Caledonian was tho exception, closing 10s. worse.
After the official hours the market was generally
rather weaker.

ILLEGAL WEIGHTS AND BALANCES.

On Saturday, a special court was holden at the
Freemasons' Tavern, when Mr. Reeve, the Inspector of
Weights and Measures prosecuted the undermentioned
tradesmen :
Edward Nation, a chandler, in Portpool-lane, St. An-
drew's, Holborn, was charged with having in use eight
light weights, which were produced to the bench ; they
varied from an ounce to 71b., and were very deficient. The
Chairman observed that such discreditable dealings pressed
heavily indeed on the poor, and fined the defendant 402.
James Clarice, of Little St. Andrew street, St. Giles's,
chandler, was ordered to pay lf. de. for en unjust beam and
scale, ond a light weight. Ilenry Hillier, tobacconist,
Little St. Andrew-street, St. Giles's, had to pay 20e.
for • weighing machine that was unjust two drachms.
Sarah Priest and Louise Chapman, chandlers, in Little
Earl-street, St. Giles's, were lined 20s. for a false bale ,ce to
the extent of a quarter of an ounce. Sarah Reynolds,
grocer, White Lion-street, St. Giles's, was summoned
I for using a beain and scales half an ounce unjust,
! and also with having • light weight—fined 245. George
Dunham, chandler, Great St. Andrew-street, was ordered to
pay 23e. for a balance deficient a quarter of an ounce.
Christopher Wood, Wilmot-street, St. George's, Blooms-
bury, chandler, was sentenced to a fine of 20s. for an incor-
rect machine. John Bray, Newton-street, St. Giles's,
chandler, was charged with trading with two light weights,
and lined 20s. Samuel Gluckstein, Crown-street, St.
Giles's, tobacconist, was fined 10s. for two short weights.
William Cook, Crown-street, St. Giles's, chandler, was
adjudged to pay 21. for a false balance of a quarter of an
ounce, and four deficient weights; and Robert Howell,
chandler, also of Crown-street, w,.s called on to pay 20s. for
four illegal weights.

FALL or A Hovel—About five weeks since the
house No. 57, West Smithfield, and the two adjoining ones,
wars winpletirly gutted by a fire ; and the premises, after
being surveyed having been condemned, no steps were
taken to ensure their stability. On Saturday afternoon,
while Sur men were at work on the roof, taking down a
massive chimney, the house suddenly tell and buried them
in its ruins. One of them, named Charles Bowners, was ao
much hurt that he wasp taken to S. Bartholomew's Hospital,
where he remains in a recnrions state. The houses are said
to have hi en coeval with the dissolution of the pr;ory of St.
Bartholomew.

THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 14, 1853.

LATEST FROM ABROAD.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.
PARIS, MONDAY.

The Moniteur of this day explains that the battle
of Oltenitza took place on the 4th November, within
the triangle of land formed t y the waters of the Argis
and the Danube. 9,000 Turks occupied the Quarantine
Buildings, and the old fortified redoubt, situated in
the plain near the Danube, as well as the village.
From their position the Turks poured shell and shot
among the Russians with great success, up to the very
entrance of the village where General Danneoberg
was directing the attack.

The Russian loss in killed and wounded is esti-
mated at 1,200. Nearly all the chiefs of battalion are
wounded, and that with conical balls.

Prince Gortschakoff left his position on learning
the news from Oltenitza, and it is a question of his
attacking the Turks with 24,000 men somewhere
about this date.

Accordieg to the Journal of St. Petersburg, after
the 22nd of November, Turkish ships in Russian ports
will be declared lawful prizes. Vessels sailing under
neutral flags will enjoy complete liberty, even during
active hostilities.

BERLIN, St:NDAY.

Advices from Belgrade announce that the Prince
of Servia has sent one of his sides-de-camp to Con-
stantinople, to give information respecting the situa-
tion of that province, and to concert measures for
its defence, in the event of an attack on Turkey
in that direction.

The German papers affirm that orders have been
sent to M. de Bruck to inform the Porte that Austria
retires from the conference, and will henceforth re-
main neutral.

The latest accounts from Belgrade state that the
Austrian army of observation on the Servian fronticr
will be 40,000 strong.

Letters from Vienna of the Bth say that further
particulars of the battle between the Turks and Rua•
sians had been received by telegraph. The affair is
said to have been exceedingly smart, and it a, wars
that the Russian general, Pawloff, received a lc 3.
shot wound in the thigh, and Lieutenant-Colonel
Chereskoff was killed. The names of the other offi-
cers who fell are not yet known.

The position at Oltenitza is very strong. The
left wing of the Turks is protected by the river
Ardrisch, the right by the swampy ground, and the
rear by the fortress of Silistria and the fort of Tour-
tukai.

CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 29.

The combined Turkish and Egyptian squadron
operating on the Asiatic coast of the Black `Sea has
driven a flotilla of the Russian gun boats into
Sebastopol. _

EGYPT.

The Viceroy is preparing about 15,000 troops to
send to the Sultan, besides the 18,000 sent some time
ago, t., assist in fighting against the Russians, and
he has ordered his steamers to come down from Con-
stantinople to convey them.

There is a considerable increase in the number of boasts,
but still choice qualities are scarce, consequently Ole highest
quotations of Monday last are retained ; but they must
be considered extreme prices. There are not .quite so
many sheep as on Monday last, but quite suffieient for
the demand. The best descriptions are readily mid, but it
is difficult to dispose of middling ones. Trade remains un-
altered for calves. Our foreign supply c miikts of 2,272

THE MURDER AT BURNHAM.

Since the committal of Moses Hutto, the police
have been actively engaged in trying to collect such evi-
dence as may bring the murderer to justice, and the result
of their exertions still further strengthen their suspicions
of the accused. Upon his arrival at Aylesbury Gaol on
Tuesday night the same air of bravado which marked his
demeanor before the coroner's jury was observable ; but
the next day a marked change in his manner was observed.
On receiving his breakfast from the warden on Saturday
morning, he muttered the words "Dreadful, very dread-
ful," but gave no further key to the matter occupying his
mind at the moment. Hie meaner, however, exhibits a
gloomy reserve strongly contrasting with his bearing when
tint received at the gaol.
The police have searched every spot on and about the pre-
mises at Burnham, where it might be supposed likely for
the rings, pencil-cases, and razors stolen from the dressing.
room in Mr. Gaodwin's room to have been placed, but as
yet they have net succeeded in obtaining the missing
articles. They are now aboat to search the whole district,
with the assistance of Mr. Goodwin's labourers and the
surrounding eottagers. The police complain bitterly of the
conduct of the surgeon's assistant, who saw the deceased on
the night of the tragedy.
Superintendent Perkins, of Eton, says that the young
In= was requested by Mr. Goodwin to inform
the police on his way home. Ile accordingly told
Mr. Perkins that a coroner's inquest would be held on the
body of a woman at Burnham Abbey Farm, and that he
had, therefore, better send word to the coroner. The
superintendent asked " What the woman died from ?"
" From suffocatiox," replied the surgeon's assistant, and
then rode off home. Not • word was said about the body
being burnt, nor of the blood in the passages, the room and
the walls, or of the broken fingers, and dreadful injuries to
the face. Nothing mere, in fact, than here detailed. Of
course, the police sent word to the coroner, but it was not
until the close of the first day of the inquest that they be-
came aware of the butchery that had taken place. Theme
can be very little doubt hut that the police, had they bon
informed EL the true state of things on the night of the
murder, tiWuld at once have beea on the track in time to
get possession of material evidence against the assassin,
whereas the delay afforded all the time necessary to place
such impedimenta in the way as may, after all, defeat the

ends of justice.
It is stated than an additional link in the evidence against
Hatto has been supplied by the discovery of the missing
shirt.

THE C. ENA R.

PEMBROKE, AtOrel 27.—An utliv'si investigation
has bees eastitered at Pembroke int., th. CAUI, art the late
failure is the 1 math of the Caesar ; the committee of
inquiry being formed of Sir ILildwin Walker, the surveyor
of the navy; Ur ls.o Wutto, ti-i•oulit surveyor; Mr.
niaster shipwright of Portsmeuth D 41kyard ; and
Ur. Ed's, master ship...6l4i of thereupon Doekyard. The
real cause of tee esi.hipfur a hag time remu.ned wrapped
in mystery, but there is nit now any doubt toucerning
the origin of the uute ward event. The de:ester appears
to have thrin e-u-cd by a sufficient del th of water net
being obtained s lieu the launch tcuw pie •e, in conse-
quence of which the biigeways stuck in the mud, and
ail the efforts made, and the immense force brought
to beer to force her into the water, only served to fix Lcr
more firmly in the bed. The water around was not of
sufficient depth to take the weight of the after body
of toe vessel from off the bilpways, and thus allow her
after part to float. Ti.,e use in the tom dims of the lower
part et the ways of fir wooed 11/ lieu, as customary, of sound
Doutsie oak, it is considered, al,t. contributed to the acci-
dent; the consequence bi int that, more adlinsive in their
n dare, the ship did no: a.. easily labile over the planks,
and Is tort the stern couhl 1w lifted by the buoyancy of
the w iter, the unusual Liction and traction had aided
in the stoppage of the vessel.
