RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

It would appear that since the intermarriage of
the bones of Hapsburg and Cobourg (the two houses,
which agree in extending their power rather by
matrimonial than by belligerent engagements) the
Belgian journals are to be harassed by being made
the mouthpieces of the Austrian government. At
least, we find in the Independence Beige of Friday
last the Austrian version of the story of the Servian
troubles. It is smooth and plausible. According to
the Belgo-Austrian narrative, the troops at Austr►a
are actually concentrated on the Servian froutier ;
but M. de Brunk had forestalled-' Reschid
Pasha's demand of an explanation by volun-
teering the information that Austria had deemed
it necessary to be prepared for all con-
tingencies, but that not one Austrian soldier should'
set feet on Ottoman ground without the consent of
the Porte. It is not, however, attempted to be
denied that the Austrian consul-general at Belgrade
may have used different and ruder language to
Prince Alexander; it is only alleged that if
he did so he exceeded his instructions.
The following telegraphic despatch has been re-
ceived, via Trieste, dated Constantinople, 13th :
" The Council has deliberated on the note of the
Powers ; it is disposed to propose the acceptance of
it to the Sultan."

We learn from St. Petersburg, under date of the
12th, that the Emperor had just reviewed the troops
at Zarskoe Solo, and ordered a silver rouble to be
given to each soldier as a mark of his satisfaction.
On the 9th the Emperor reviewed a fleet off Cron-
stadt, and on the following day it ei.t:red the port
for the winter.

The latest accounts from the Black Sea state that
the north west winds began to prevail, and
impede navigation. For the last two months a north
east wind, always good at this season of the year,
has permitted a great number of important cargoes
to leave the port of Odessa ; but within the last few
days the winds have been continually bad, and
several vessels anchored at Penderaklia and other
points on the coast exposed to the west have been
forced to put out to sea to avoid injury.

BOROUGH HOP MARKET-THIS DAY.

Messrs. Pattendea .and Smith report that the account'
received this morning from the different Hop districts con-
tinue about the same as last week, some speaking of au in-
crease of mould and vermin, whilst in other places they are
said to be progressing favourably, particularly in the Weald
of Kent and Sussex, which promise to produce some very
excellent and sound Hops. The market is firm and steady,
and the duty remains stationary at about 155,0001. From
the last parliamentary returns it appears that in 1852 the
district, duty, &c., stood as under :

SALE OF EAST INDIA 'COMPANY SITUATIONS.

This forenoon his lordship was occupied, and likely to be
so during the rest of the clay, relative to a charge of attempt-
log to sell a situation in the service of the Honourable East
India Company, through the agency of a gentleman named
Wilkinson.

Mr. Clarkson appeared on behalf of the East India Com-
pany, and after a very lengthontd eddress proceeded to call
his witnesses.

Mr. Bodkin appeared as counsel on the other side.
Mr. Wilkinson, brother of the gentleman mentioned
above, was then called, and his evidence was proceeding
when we went to press.
London, England, 1853-08-22

Mr. SMITH, of South Cove seconded the amendment.

Mr. eesu,"a director, saidwhat the diie.etersWileYork
companies wanted was to have the support of this com-
pany to the parsing of the amalgamation bill without their
being hampered by any reference to questions of dividend
between the preference and original shareholders.
Mr. FAIWYDS, barrister, said be had put 4,0001. into this
company as a shareholder at the first, simply because he
wished it to be kept as an independent hue to oppose the
tyranny of the York companies' the object of making this
line being the public good. To him amalgamation was
poison. (Hear, hear.) They had public feeling as well as
p interest among them They had a public duty to
perform, but when they found they could not carry on this
line as an independent line, an agreement was proposed
with the York companies. This, then, was a perfect") new
agreement which they were entering into. (" Hear, hear,"
and nonsense.) This company guaranteed a preference
dividend to preference shareholders out of the Leeds
Northern as an independent line, but they did not guarantee
it out of an agreement with other companies, therefore he
contended it was but fair that the matter in dispute should
be submitted to reference. _

A very long discussion ensued, in which Mr. Bright (of
Hull), Mr. Carbutt (of Leeds), Mr. Watson (of York), Mr.
Smith (of Melsham), and other shareholders took a part.
At length
Mr. WATSON suggested that a compromise should be
made, and that a resolution, to be afterwards proposed by
the chairman, should be added to the one he. had already
proposed ; the two to form one resolution.
Mr. JOHNSON offered to agree to this, if Mr. Crawford
and other of the preference shareholders' committee would
agree to support the latter one when brought before par-
liament.

Mr. CRAWFORD refused to comply, and declared that,
as a preference holder, he and those who acted with him
would give up none of their rights and privileges.
Mr. Joins:tow, seeing that Mr. Crawford had but few
supporters in the meeting, said he would put them out of
consideration, and withdraw his amendment in favour of
the one suggested.
Mr. waieon Lasu wured the following, as an addition
to the resolution moved by the chairmen : " And that an
application be made to parliament for a separate bill to le-
raise the reference to Messrs. Glyn and Stephenson, pur-
suant to the company's resolutions of the 11th of March,
1853, and on the understanding that the result of such ap-
' plication, whether successful or not, shall be final."
This amended proposition, on being put to the vote,
was carried, with only six dissentients, amidst much ap-
plause.
Mr. JOHNSON having withdrawn any offensive remarks
be might have made in reference to the chairman, a vote of
thanks to Mr. Constable was adopted by acclamation for his
conduct in the chair, and the meeting separated at 5 o'clock.

THE POLICE COURTS.

31k_NSION-HOUSE.

MicAael Quirk was brought before the Lord Mayor, upon
• warrant, charged with having beaten his wits.
The complainant said that she bad for some years been
cruelly treated by her husband, a tailor, of considerable
skill and ability, and, of course, well ably to support her
and her children. She had been obliged to complain of his
conduct about three months ago, because he got drunk, and,
upon returning home, used to take a fancy to try whether
has fists or her face were likely to be worsted by meeting to-
gether, sad it was at that time the decision of the :Naafis
testes that he should be put to hard labour, and low diet,
or pay • penalty ; and as he bail the power to agree to the
latter, he escaped the punishment to which the lords of the
creation are now, by the merciful change in the law, sure to
be subjected. hi soon as the period for which he was
bound over to keep the peace towards hie unfortunate
partner had cone by, he considered himself at liberty to
make similar espeAments, and recommenced his old prac-
tice by blackening her eyes; and he added to the assault
be made upon her the cruelty of teaching the children to
insult and disobey her.
The Lord Mayor—When did he strike you last?
Complainant—On Sunday he came home drunk, and in-
itiated upon lying on the floor. I got out of bed, made some
tea for him, and tried to persuade him to get into bed,
but he struck me • violent blow on the side of the head,
and kicked me desperately in several parts of the body, and
he did all he could to make my little boy who is just six
years old, call me a—, and other dreadful names, He
makes a great deal of money, but the moment I ask him for
the price of bread and butter for his family, he is sure to
Snorer me with a blow. _

The defendant, who was well dressed, and exhibited a
watch and appendages, said his wife's fondness for gin
made • beggar of him, and she never bad a mark upon her
that was not caused by the falls she got when under the in-
fluence of that beverage.
The policeman who patrols the district said the defendant
was in the habit of rousing the whole neighbourhood, at all
hours, by his fighting and noisy propemitiss.
The defendant—l'll promise your lordship to raise
asT hand to her or anybody else, it you let me off this once.
Ile Lord Mayor—No. This is the first opportunity 1
have had of beano' my testimony to the efficacy of this act,
by sentencing a person whom I consider to be a cruel trans-
gressor. The sentence upon you is, that you be imprisoned,
ard worked, and slenderly dieted, for 21 days, and that, at
the end of your imprisonment, which will show you the
value of sobriety, you enter into recognisance, to the
amount of 101. to keep the peace towards your wife and
the rest of her Majesty's subjects, for the space of six
months. . _ _

TILE lIITII OF NOVEMBER AT EXETER.

EXFTER, S•ThXDAV.—Great excitement has pre-
veiled in this city in consequeuce of a determination on the
part of the ilutherities to " put down" the celebration of
the fifth of Novembtr in the cathedral yard, where the citi-
miss bare been accustomed to commemorate the day for a
outaberof years past. Up to within the last few years the
re„o,,,lior were confined to a Mabee, fireworks, and the
burning of the rope's effigy. Latterly, however,
the obnoxious reseyite divines of the diocese of
Exeter, and even the bishop himself, have been
bernt In ettiay, and the consequence is that the
dean and chapter are determined, if possible, to stop their
unpalitteable proceedings. A few days ago they issued bills
cautioning the citizens not to let off fireworks or light a
beeline, la the cathedral yard, and threatening to institute
legal proceedings against all who assisted therein. The
Mayor of Eseter, anzams to carry
outato, the wishes of th
the
e
dean and chapter, engaged Mr. C pyrotechnist to
Vauxhall-gardens, to give a grand display of fireworks in •
field near the city, with a view of drawing off the citizens
from the yard. These precautions, however, had not the
desired edict, for Mr. Caton's" grai.d display" was scarcely
finished. when shortly after nine o'clock, large bodies of
men entered the cathedral Jar!, commenced letting
off fireworks, and shouted "we will have a
bonfire; we won't be put down by the Puseyites."
The wood for the bonfire was brought into the city, after
night, but the police having obtained • knowledge of the
fact, seized it, and lodged it in a yard of an inn in South-
street. Shortly
.afterwards, however, • number of man
attacked the place, broke the doors, and succeeded in spite
of the 'dorm of the police who guarded the wood, in
"flying it off to the cathedral yard, where a bonfire was
kindled in (wen defiance of the ecclesiastical and civil au.
dimities. During the night several of the police were in.
jared, sad one of the inspector* received a severe cut in
the Mad. Some arrests took place ; and at one period of
the ermine the proceedings were so tumultuous that it
was said the Mayor had signified his intention of calling out

proceedings, • terrific explosion umuned in the High-street.
Two boys were engaged in loading rockets by candle-lied
in an upper 100/4 of a house, occupied by Kr. Oahe's,
when some powder ignited, and there befog • quantity of
rockets and combustible materials in the room, a fearful
explosion was the result. The roof of the house was blown
off, and one of the lads was hurled iato the air, and fell
with great force through the skylight of an adjoiniag Mess.

HOLLAND AND BELGIUM.

ROTTERDAM, FRIDAY.

According to the Nieuwe Courant of Rotterdam, a
modification of the Dutch ministry is contemplated.
Heer van Reenen, the present Minister of the lute-
rior, and who was formerly burgomaster of Amster-
dam, will become minister for the reformed church,
and will be replaced in the former post by Heer van
Kempenaer or Heer van der Heim.
In some parts of Holland, disturbances have oc-
currcd amongst the working classes. The cause is
not yet clearly stated.
It appears by an official report from the Dutch
consul at Norway that the exports from that coun-
try to Holland have increased of late, but that the
exports from the latter to the former have diminished.
That diminution is attributed to the active steam
intercourse between Norway and Hamburg.
The Belgian chargé d'affaires in Washington has
made an arrangement with the United States govern-
ment, whereby the latter grants a considerable sub-
sidy for the establishing of a line of steamers be-
tween New York and Antwerp, on the condition that
they commerce running within three months. The
necessary capital is set down at 12 millions of francs,
of which ten have been already subscribed in the
United States and England. The other two will be
raised in Belgium.
The receipts of the Dutch Railway during the
month of October last were 77,395 florins ; and of the
Dutch Rhenish, 52,098 florins. Much English capital
is embarked in both lines.

GOVELLE V. FERGUSON. -

TO MIMIC

The plaintiff in this action is a surgeon at the West-end
of the town, and the defendant is a gentleman living at
Brixton, and the claim was for 21. 2a., for professional
attendances on defendant's wife.
The plaintiff stated that he had been engaged to attend
Mrs. Ferguson at her accouchement, and his fee was to be
two guineas, and it wu agreed that he was to be paid •
guinea for the first visit necessary previously, but if others
were requisite he WI4 not to make say charge far the two
next. He made six visits on those terms, but did sot have
notice so as to attend the aceouchement.
Mr. H. H. Buchanan, for the defendant, contended that
plaintiff was not entitled to recover, as he could not be
found at the critical hour, as he had removed.
The defendant proved this fact. He had been to
plaintiff's house, which had been let to a family, and on
inquiry he was informed that plaintiff had not been there
(or a week, and they did not know where he had gone to.
His Honour held that the plaintiff was clearly entitled
for his attendances, and g►ve judgment for the amount.

DI3PUTZD ADIUDICATIOZI.—IaeIIITION OF NOTICE.
Mr. Solomon appeared in support of an adjudication which
the alleged bankrupt had given notice to dispute. He took
objection to the sufficiency of the notice, which did not spe-
cify, as required by the 14th of the rules and orders made
under the Bankruptcy Law Consolidation:Act, whether the
party meant to dispute the petitioning creditor's debt, the
trading, or the act of bankruptcy.
Mr. Reed, for the trader, said he intended to dispute the
whole of the ingredients of the bankruptcy, and therefore
a specific notice was unnecessary.
..is Honour raid it was perfectly clear that this notice did
not comply with the requirements of the rule. It would
make it quite nugatory, and get rid of the whole object of
the rule, if he were to uphold this petition. It was said
that where they meant to dispute all the three matters, it
was unnecessary to specify any; but to this he could not
' accede. They *sight to state if they meant to dispute each
of the three matters, and then the other party could come
prepared to meet them. This notice merely said that the
' trader meant to dispute the adjudication. Ile therefore
thought this was a bad notice, and the party could not be
heard.
Mr. Reed then applied for In extension of the time for
disputing the adjudication, in order that an amended notice
might be served. This the court had time to grant under
the 104th section.
His Honour said the rules aced orders were not so well
known as they ought to be, and, as the parties had made a
mistake, they ought not on that account to be shut out from
disputing the adjudication.
Mr. Solomon submitted that this could not now be done,
as the time allowed for disputing the adjudication (seven
days) bad already expired.

GetWV .4VD TOWN RIOT AT OXFORD.
•---.

thyohp, Nov. b.—Last evening the annual gown
town vows commenced, according to custom, and for
t.. 1 boors kept the greater part of the City in • state of
sew
tamed and eseitement. Moat of the shops were closed by
s o'clock, at which time some hundreds of gowesmen and
toessmte, chiefly meehaniee, were seen parading the
streets in rank.. and whenever they came in contact a dea-
r,is re wild issued. lhe chief fighting was in the High-
.Jset,tee gownsman being ranged on one side and the
townsmen en the other, and at one time there were no less
tees Y t couples angered in combat. It being Saturday
nicht the town mustered in larger force than usual, and
tits coasequence was that they gained the ascendancy, and
thinabril their opponents most effectuell The destruc-
y.
tion of caps, gown', and eats never was surpassed; and,
it it seieipattd, that the catraordinuy demand for them
ista cause a rise in the market. The city is tolerably trim-
gaff this even;eg (Sunday), aotwithstandiug that many
Wale. are Congregating in the streets, " eager for the
etc,; " but it is not ..uticipated that hostilities will be re-
nowid until to morrow evening, when it is generally ex-
pteted that the [Own will endeavour to retrieve their
laurels. The university authorities are doing all in their
power to prevent Oval annual di.turbances, but the fresh
non lied serne,hieg sa exciting in • gown and town row,
that it it not eitcClica that these disorderly gatherings will
cease, until both parties have been thrashed to their own
satiefactien.

FINE ARTS.

--.40. -

There are at present on view, at Mr. Jennings', in
Cheapside, three pictures, two of which, by Sir Edwin
Landseer, have never been exhibited before. The
third, by H. Le Jenne, was in the Academy Exhibi-
tion the year before last. All three are in course of
being engraved. Mr. Le Jeune's picture, the " Pa-
rable of the Lilies," was painted to form a companion
piece to Sir C. Eastlake's, " Christ Weeping over
Jerusalem." It bears a very decided resemblance, in
style, to the works of the President of the Koval
Academy: the same warm and hazy softness; the I
same sweetness in the female heads and weakness in
the male ; the same learned, yet not very effective
arrangement of groups and colours ; the same
evidences that the artist, though sensitive and ac-
complished, is not equal to the rendering, to any
effectual purpose, of sacred subjects. Something
more is certainly demanded in the representation
of a principal passage in the life of the I
Saviour, than the figure of an amiable man surrounded
by chuming young ladies, in various graceful atti-
tudes of attention and respect, and a few subordinate
male figures displaying several degrees of confidence
and the reverse. The artistical qualities exhibited
in this picture are such as. would fitly and charm-
ingly illustrate modern domestic subjects, such as
those of many of Mr. F. Stone's pictures, but they
are painfully inadequate to the " high argument"
of the present work.
Sir Edwin Landseer's pieces are in crayons, and
symbolise the conquest of Free Trade and the dia-
comfittne of Protection under the forms of a beaten
Nee-horse and a fat prize dray-horse. The race-horse
fi aocompanied by a groom, a likeness of Lord Derby,
and an unhappy and jaded jockey, who is Mr.
Disraeli, "and no mistake." There are goad points
about these pieces, but the wit seems to us to be poor
and the taste worse. It is very well fur our admi-
rable friend Punch, a professed satirist, to hit off
likenesses in its clever and ephemeral sketchrs, but
for Sir Edwin Landseer to give the :about of months
to the elaboration of a fancy so slight and a 1-atire so
pstaonal, is quite a different and a tar more question-
able proceeding.
The best thing in these pieces is the head of the
jaded racer, which is full of that super-animal expres-
sion of which Landseer is so notable—so admirable a
master.

NEW SUN.—A Mr. Goldhannner has astonished
the people of Berlin by his experinunts of his so called
electric sun. On Saturday night he placed his apoaratus
ku the balcony of the lintel de Rusin., and, directing the
rays upon the museum, distant 350 yards, lit up the whole
♦icinity, se that it was easy to read small print.

CASUALTIES,

Firefly.—The vessel reported from Dubin on the 2nd as
wrecked in this neighbourhood, was the Firefly, of 'far-
mouth, Kirkness, from Liverpool to flayti. The hull was
towed into this place yesterday, but has since been broken
up ; portions of the wreck and some of the cargo saved ;
one of her boats has come ashore, but there is no account
of the crew.—Wicklow, Nev. 4.
Herald, Bennett, from Larache to Liverpool, was totally
dismasted last night, during a hurricane from thew.
N.W., and has been towed in this morning leaky, by
H.M.S. Highfiyer.—Scilly, Nov. 2.
Julia, Gust, from Cardiff to Harburg, was stranded on the
Terschelling Banks Nov. 2 ; part of her cargo has been
landed.—Amsterdam, Nov. 3.
Victoria, which ',ft the. Bromielaw today for New York,
took fire in proceeding down the Clyde, and burnt to the
water's edge.—Glasgow, Nov. 4.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

rERNAMBCCO, Ocr, 19.
The exports have again been of a limited character owing
to the short supply of produce arriving at market, and the
continued scarcity of tonnage which still prevails—ttis
latter is exercising a prejudicial effect upon our trade, and
is likely to be felt even to a greater extent in a few weeks,
when a new sugar crop will be entering freely, unless
vessels in the Interim arrive in more abundance.
St:GAIL—The entries of the new crop continue on a very
limited scale, and the article Comes forward more lowly
than expected.
COTTON.—The receipts continue small, and in the absence
of vessels the inquiry is less active, and notwithstanding the
limited supply, ; rives have undergone a slight decline.-The
present crop promises to be much below last year, which
may probably be attributable to the destruction occasioned
by the caterpillar.
EVM.—A new feature has occurred in respect to this
article of export ; the supply continues very small, whilst
an inquiry exe.ts for export. The only shipment since our
last number has been of 22 pipes, making the total Worts
since the lit November last 5,723 pipes against 1,77 d
within like period 18.51 to nil
FHEIC Hits.—We have no charters whatever to advise.
The English brig, Arabella Terbet, in the absence of a
freight to the United States, returns to St. Jahn's in l'il•
last. The English barque, Gsnevieve, we underfeed.
likely to load here for consignees account for Liverpool.
EXCHANGE —Considerable business has been transacted.
The government have this week taken bills to the extent
of 25,000/. at 271 d., and we estimate the entire operations
since the sailing of the Tay at about 75,0001., the entire
amount at 271 d., except about 8,0001. at 270., with 10
extended credit for payment of the bills.
DISCOCNTS.—The Bank has reduced its rates to 6pet
cent. for bills to mature to 31st Dec. next, and 8 per cent. for
those not exceeding six months to run. Leo has been
doing out of doors during the past week.

mouth.

PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING.
It has this day been asserted in a quarter which
is often semi-officially informed, that the time
for notes and projects of arrangement is rapidly
slipping away., and that the Emperor, tired
and baffled in hie repeated attempts in con-
junction with England, has made up his
mind to a more determined policy from this
moment forward ; certain as he appears to be
that England is with him. The suspicions, nn- J
founded as no doubt they are, that attempts were re-
cently made to clan England from a common action,
I should that action assume a has forbearing character,
have been dissipated, and the Emperor, notwithstand-
ing his habitual reserve, is said to have, within the
last few days, expressed his thoughts very frankly.
One of the first steps which, it is avid, will be adopted
in case of failure in the negotiation still pending is
the immediate recall of all the diplomatic agents who
have been concerned in the notes, and their substitu-
tion by military men, as in the case of Nt. de la Cour
and General Baraguay d'Hilliers; and the first to
be so recalled will probably be M. de Bourqueney.
The Itfoniteur publishes an Imperial decree, pro-
moting three generals of brigade to the rank of ge-
neral of division, and four colonels to the rank of
general of brigade.
A telegraphic despatch from the General com-
manding at Oran to the Governor-General of
Algeria, dated the 29th of October, states that the
goum of Sidi-bel-Abbas, commanded by Captain
Lacretelle, had an engagement on the 26th with the
refractory Hamyans and Rezainas, supported by all
the Massa of Morocco. The enemy left 150 dead on
the field. The French captured all their standards,
250 muskets, some pikes, sabres, and horses, with
4,000 sheep and 250 camels, The French lost eight
men killed and some horse., with some men wounded.

was seriously ill. The Royal Council was about to hold
a meeting to examine a proposition for authorising
the Bank of San Fernando to issue notes for double
the amount of its capital, and for sums less than

Northern one; it is to the effect that a public adju-
