CITY COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS.

Yesterday a court was held, Deputy PEACOCK in
the chair.

Deputy MEADWAY stated that the New River Col33Mny
had cut off the supply of water to 22 houses its Three Talis-
man, Redcross-street.. . . . .

The CHAIRMAN said the company had promised to give
notice to the court of any intention upon their part to
withhold so indispensable a supply, and the clerk was in-
structed to communicate with the secretary on the
subject.

POSIRRN ROW.

Mr. Dew read a letter from Viscount Combermere, in
which his lordship stated that he should not object to the
temporary accommodation the commissioners require as to
the opening of Postern-row. He should be happy when
he went to London in January to open that street perma-
nently, should it not interfere with the fortifications, &e.
(Applause.)
It was unanimously agreed to that an answer should be
written by Mr. Daw ezpressive of the thanks of the coin-
missionen.

FRANCE.

l'AltIS, TIEeDAV EVENING.
The Moniecur publishes a very long report from
the Prefect of the Stine on the financial situation of
the department. In this report, which enters into
very minute details of the varioas items of expendi-
ture and receipts, the Prefect presents the budget of
1554, which shows a deficit of 739,561 k. 95c. for
that year, but the city has a long series of arrears to
contend with, and the general deficit amounts to the
" eriorm3us sum" (the expression used in the report)
of 7,fi69,483fr. This is decidedly the most melancholy
public document that has been published under the
present couleur de rose regime.
The Bourse was weaker to-day in consequence of
the reports from London and Vienna of the entry of
detachments of the French and English fleets into
the Black Sea. The Bente fell 20c., and would, it is
thought, have gone much lower but for the rise of
in Consuls announced by telefraph. In Bank of
France there was no change. he St. Germain Rail-
way rose 121 r. 50e. In the other lines the rive and fall
was nearly equally distributed within the range of
Mr. either way.
The Patrie says:
All the correspondence from Vienna arrived in Paris to-
day c nfirms the announcement of the taking of Krajowa
by the Turks. This town was not taken, as some journals
say, without a blow struck, hut after a smart engagement
hetween Ismael Pacha's troop:: and the Russian General
Kischhach. It is announced that Omer Pacha was about
to deploy 40,000 men on the left bank of the Danube, and
to fortify himself in the strongest manner in the triangle
comprised between Kalafzt, Krajowa, and Naracal. In
this way, it is said, he will• scare his communication between
the two banks of the river, :and established a strong basis of
operations to act in Little Wallachia.

Humours are afloat to-day of an insurrection at
Lyons, and it was said at the Bourse that the state
of seige had been declared there. I believe the only
foundation for these reports to be a certain degree of
agitation in consequence of the trial and sentence to
transportation of 13 " Carbonari," who were arrested
a short time since at a tavern in the Avenue de
l'Egalite, which was one of the rendezvous of a secret
society, divided into bodies of twenty members, who
held their meetings at different places.

THE FLEET SEWER.

Mr. Haywood, the surveyor to the commission, then
read a report on the works now going on at the Fleet *ewer
Within a few days after the date of his last report, the
small opening into the sewer in New Bridge-street had
been surrounded by a close box or board, and a deodorising
powder evolving chlorine had been so copiously used that
no smell had been perceptible, excepting that of the chlorine
itself. About 70 feet of new invert bad been laid, and the
works were progressing rapidly, being carried on night and
day wh the tides would permit. Mr. Haywood then
proceeded to combat at some length the objections which
had been made against the mode of conducting the opera-
tions, and concluded by =setting that every possible cars
had imp taken to reduce the annoyance to the minimum.
' After sass discussion, it was resolved that copies of the
report should be sent to Lord Palmerston and the Metropo-
litan Commissioners of Sewers. . .

Mr. Painter and Mr. Williams were elected inspectors of
pavements and nuisances. The appointments took place
in consequence of the vast increase of business in the City
of London.

ries are chiefly for East Crowndale, Caradon Consols,

The gold mining shares were sensibly better to-
day, more disposition to purchase being shown.
Great Nugget Hein shares especially were in de-
mand. Favourable advises are looked for shortly
from Australia and California, affecting several of
these adventures. Liberty shares were flatter, at par
to 4 prem.
Imperial Brazilian and United Mexican shares
were rather better, but Santiago are still heavy.

Saa Nicole, Zabtoguire, from Liverpool to Gibraltar, which

SWITZERLAND.

Letters from Beale of the 4th inst. state that the
French minister at Berne has lately made several
appliestions for documentary and statistical informa-
tion respecting the international commerce of Swit-
zerland. The Swiss envoy at Paris is also said to
have had several interviews with M. Persigny on
the same subject. The French government is be-
lieved to watch narrowly the issue of the customs
negotiations between Austria and Prussia, antici-
pating that the probable sequel to an agreement

would be an attempt to engage Switatiltna in nine-
teen treaty with Germany.
The Executive Council of Bile Campape has re-
solved to maintain its resolution for expelling; the
Jews from the demi-canton, making exceptions Only
in fa‘ our of two of that people. It will be remem-
bered that upon the first announcement of this reso-
lution, in 1862, complaints were made to the Presi-
dent of the French Republic, and the representations
which were then made had the effect of suspending
the execution of the measure. It is probable that the
Federal Council will use its influence to restrain the
intolerance of the Bile Canipagnards.
The Narroieur of Freiburg contains a " commu-
niqué," stating that pending the conclusion of a con-
cordat with the Pope respecting the future relation
of the church and the cantonal government, which
both are seeking to bring about, an agreement has
been arrived at, relative to the diocesan seminaire
and the ecclesiastical benefices. The quarrel be-
tween Bishop Marilly and the liberal government of
Freiburg dates from the Sunderbund war. The pre-
late, who is celled Bishop of Lausanne and Geneva,
has resided for the last few years on the French side
of the frontier.

ITALY .

TURIN, Fan. 2.
After the intelligence of Mazzinghi's pardon which
I lately transmitted, with the addition that the go-
vernment had issued circulars enjoining upon the
magistracy forbearance with respect to imputed reli-
gious offences, you will expect to hear no more of
persecution for belief or proselytism. Yon will
therefore be astonished, as we in Turin have been, to
learn the latest intelligence from Genoa.
Notwithstanding the royal pardon, and the as-
surances which attended it, Mnzzinghi, immediately
on coming out of prison, has been ordered to leave
the kingdom within five days, and to be expelled
from it by the public force upon non-compliance.
I can give you no idea of the indignation which
this positive announcement has produced among the
public. The popular press, though on the shortest
notice, has begun to express it in the most impas-
sioned terms. The Gazzettes del Popo'o declares
roundly that the King's pardon was nothing but a
Jesuitical deception—a measure adopted merely to
evade the oonseirentxte which the atrocious sentence
against the Medial at Florence has brought upon the
renegado Grand Duke of Tuscany.

estate of one of the bankrupts—Charles Jobn Wragge.
Mr. Howard, of fitourbridge, fur the mimes; and Mr.
Edwin Wright was concerned in part of the proceedings for
sone creditors. . _

At a former meeting there was a claim on the Stour.
bridge Bank amounting to 18,0001, by /deans. Glyn and
Co., the City bankers; this was disputed, and to-day a corn-
promise was effected by which proof was admitted for
6,0001., the total mount proved at this meeting against the
Stourbridge Bank being 5,8601. 90. 3d.; together with
claims standing over for consideration amounting to
4561. 18s. 7d. As against the Bromsgrova Bank proofs
were admitted for 6,8171. 17s. 104., and further claims
amounting to 1,0381.
Further proofs for a small sum were admitted against the
separate satire of Idr. Wragge, and a second dividend of
six shillings in the pound was declared upon that portion
of the estate, making the payment en it, up to the present
time, 1 Is. in the pound, with a probability of further liqui-
dation.

REVIEW OF TILE SPITHEAD FLEET BY

THE QUEEN.

PORTSMOUTH, ACOUST S.
To-day it is officially notified at this port that a
review of the fleet at Spithead by her Majesty has
been decided upon, and that it will take place on
Thursday next. There are now 23 men-of-war at
the above anchorage, and other ships are hourly
expected.
Her Majesty will return to Osborne on Tuesday,
and on Wednesday evening the Lords of the Admi-
ratty will, it is understood, arrive at this port to take
part in the naval review. The fleet will proceed to
the back of the Isle of Wight, and perform a variety
of evolutions of a most imposing character.
The review of the fleet is to be on a scale of mag-
nitude and splendour never before witnessed. As at
present arranged, the different vessels composing the
fleet will move into action at 11. It is stated that the
Admiralty will place steam vessels at the disposal of
the members of both houses of parliament, and other
eminent persons; and from Gosport an ample supply
of boats for the general public will be provided, to
enable them to view the manoeuvres to advantage.
Every facility, in the shape of early express trains
between the metropolis and Gosport and other parts
of the line, will be provided by the South Western
Railway, so as that the immense mass who will con-
gregate to see this unparalleled spectacle may do so
, with every convenience to themselves.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

It is not surprising that while the Czar's answer to
the proposition of the Four Powers is unknown, the
sets done by his ord-rs in Moldo-Wallachia should
be taken as some guide to the disposition with which
he will receive the arrangement now offend to him.
We have seen the Russian troops, not resting in a
mere " occupation" of the principality, moved down
until they occupy the very positions hest adapted for
assailing Bervia and Bulgaria. The Czar has for-
mally substituted himself for the Sultan as sovereign
of the two provinces, by requiring that tribute of
the Hospodars which by ancient compact they owe
to the Porte. And now new advances in the same
path are reported. The Patric publishes the intelli-
gence that "the Russian government, while leaving
to the reigning princes of Moldavia and Wallachia
their title and their nominal power, has decided that
there shall be joined to them a council of govern-
ment, composed of three members appointed by the
Czar. All affairs are to be submitted to this council,
whose decisions will be sovereign." In other words,
the government will be vitally and entirely Russian,
the shadowy local princes being retained to cover its
acts with their signature, and give a colour of
legality to its acts. Moreover, we are told
by the same authority that "a contribution in
kind has been ordered" by the invaders, who
qua deal with the Principalities as conquered terri-
tory. Further, we are told that "several young
Boyards, having manifested their discontent at the
exactions committed by the troops who occupy the
country, were immediately incorporated in the Rus-
sian army, where they will be compelled to serve for
three years." And lastly, "Jassy and Bucharest are
to be fortified in inch a manner as to be able to sup-
port the operations of the Russian army."
There is no denying that this seriei of tangible
facts is calculated to trouble the prripect of Eastern
affair+. The Exchanges of Londe,a and Paris have
yielded to their depressing tenchmey. Those who in
the teeth of daily recurringkcts persisted in believ-
ing in the wisdom, moderat:on, and rectitude of the

NA VAL.

PORTSMOUTH, Auc. S.-The exercise of the
Portsmouth Royal Dockyard Battalion was brought to a
close for the season last night, when the artillery companies
went through a lengthened practice in tiring shot from 12
light six pound guns, and from the new battery at the
north end of the dockyard. The Admiral Superintendent,
Rear-Admiral Fanshawe, CR., was ,present during the
practice, which was of a very efficient character. The Duke
of Wellington, 131, screw steam ship, Captain 11. B. Mar-
tin, C. 8., shipped her new screw at Spithead last night.
This is her permanent screw made of a composition of iron,
brass, tkc., and possessing greater strength than the east-
iron experimental screw ; the two fans of which the Duke
of Wellington broke off iu her recent trial. The Alban
steamer, which arrived from the West Indies yesterday,
sailed to day for the eastward. The Avon, steamer, re-
turned to Plymouth last night with supernumerary stamen
tur the ships there, and the Sprightly , steamer, arrived
here today from Plymouth, with other supernumeraries for
ships at this port. the Conflict, screw sloop, was taken into
dock to-day. She is to ship another new screw for trial.
The Magicienne, 16, and Valorous, 16, steam frigates,
saluted the flag of the Commander-in-Chief to-day, which
the Victory acknowledged.

LEEDS POLlCE.—Yesterday (Friday), the Leeds
police•force made a manitestati in of dissatisfaction with
their rate of wages. While on parade, a memorial to the
Watch Committee, for an advance of wages, was generally
acquiesced in, and was subsequently presented to the Watch
Committee of the Town. Council, no sum being named. The
reply of the Watch Committee was moderate, but they de-,
dined at prereu• to make any advance.
TIM STRIKE AT THE DOOM—Last evening a
telegraphic dispatch was received at Chelmsford, requiring
hands to be sent up, and the town Ivis been placaid“l with
a notice that men are wanting at the London Docks, and
offering preferable work. to those of good character—

Sta,—At a time when the attention of all Fmrope
beheaded to the aggressive polity of Lassie upon Turkey,
it may bt.:ntersiting and instructive to esamine some early
neon* relating to the gamin.
In Gibbet's " Decline and Yell," vol. x, srs the follow-
ing peen es "In a period a one hundred and ninety
yentas Rentiana made four attempts to pleader the trea-
sures of Constantinople; the event was various, but the
motive, the mum, and the object were the same in these
several espeditiona." . . . . " :Cho memory of nice. Arctic
beta, that attuned to descend from t►e polar circle, left
derp impresaiou of :•rrur on tie imps:it' city. By the
Taiga: of every rank A was asserted and helieved that an
equestrian statue in the square of Taurus; was secretly
inacnhed with a prophesy how the Russians in the last days
should become masters of Constantinople." . . . " Perhaps
the present g e tion may yet behold the accomplishment
of the prediction of a rare prediction, of which the style is
hsambiguota, and the date unquestionable,"
Amongst the imperial archives et St. Petersburgh there
is said to exist A state paper, drawn up by Peter the Great,
pointing out to his SUCCMON the amenity of prosecuting
then views, ►nd obtaining possession, not only of Turkey,
but of India, by way of Penis.

GUILDHALL.

Was. Cruse, a book collector in the employ of Messrs.
thespian and Marshall of Stationen'-halkoart, was charged
with embezzling 41. 10s. and other stuns, the sunny, of
his employers, and was committed for trial upon two
charges.
BOW-STREET.

Several eases of assault, lioeket-picking, sad accident
during the intense fog of Tuesday night, were brought
under the onteiderstion of Mr. Henry, the presiding magis-
trate.

Ia one ease the driver of a van belonging to the Oreat
Western Railway Company wu charged with having
cussed the death ofa young woman named Elizabeth Trow,
who was erasing Pssarle-street, Lincoln's-Inn-fields, at about
6 o'clock, when she either slipped or was knocked down,
and wu instantly unshed to death, one of the wheels of
the van having passed OM her head. It was proved,
however, that the driver wu proceeding very slowly at the
time, and Mr. Henry, in discharging him from castody,
stated that he was wholly free from blame.
_ _

Mr. Collard, the pollee superintendent of the Great
Western Railway, attended to watch the ease, and ',ser-
ialised that the dimmed, although 'a married woman, had
left no family ; and her brother stated that she had been •
loag time separated from her :husband by mutual consent.
Mr. Collard undertook, on behalf of the company, to defray
the ezpensm of the f I.

Goorqe Yeales, described as a clerk in the City, was
charged with putting a lighted torch in the face of Mr. W.
Smith, the engineer, of Salisbury-street, Adelphi, and
burning his hat and whisker', during the fog of the previ-
ous night.
. Mr. Smith stated his complaint, and was entirely corro-
borated by a gentleman who happened to be walking be-
hind him, in Flest-street, and who saw the defendant throw
his burning torch into the faces of five or six respectable
people, greatly to their discomfiture and alarm. He ap-
peared to be somewhat intoxicated.

A brother of the defendant, who said be was the seers-
tan, of a railway company, stated that be was on the spot,
and believed the occurrence was purely accidental. He
bad certainly been a little merry, bat he did not inten-
,tionally burn the complainant's face.
The defendant also stated that he wu only having a bit
of fun; and was very sorry.
Mr. Henry considered it a very discreditable sort of
amusement. and ordered the defendant to pay a penalty
of 51., or two months' imprisonment.
Edward Sounders, • pedlar, was charged with having in
his possession a quantity of manufactured tobacco which
bad not paid duty.
The prisoner was apprehended oa Westminster-bridge by
the Inspector of the Thames Police and an Hulse officer,
with 19lbs. of the tobacco in his possession.
The defendant, who said he was merely holding it for
somebody whom he did not know, while he had gone over
the bridge, was fined 100/., and committed for six months
in default.
London, England, 1853-11-24

SERVIA.

We have letters from the interior of Servia of the
13th inst. The population is described as being in a
very excited state. The common sentiment is not
inimical to Turkey, except so far as the march of
Turkish troops is objected to as destroying the neu-
trality of the state. The politicians of Servia—and
there are politicians there—men of enlightenment,
public spirit, and courage—rightly conceive that if
they can maintain the neutrality of their country
during the 'mutest between the Sovereign and pro-
tecting state, their independence will have been
greatly promoted.
A late despatch by electric telegraph, dated Vienna
22nd, states that the Turks have erected a camp
near Utzitza, on the Servian frontier, have com-
menced throwing a bridge across the Drina, and
have sent out pickets. It is added that the Servians,
greatly excited, have risen as one man to defend the
frontier, and cannon have been sent there from Kra-
gujewatz.
It is much to be hoped that no conflict will take
place. When Russia and Turkey last quarrelled, the
Sultan and the Servian nation made common cause.
For the defence of the country Servia could call
200,000 men under arms.

THE POLICE CO URTS.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Andrew Isaacs, who keeps a boat and shoe shop in Cutler-
street, Houndsditch, was charged with committing an
assault upon Mr. George Arnold, a cla,sical instructor.
The complainant, who is a gong man of rather slender
proportions, said he observed, as he was passing along, •
pair of shoes, which he thought would fit him, at the door
of defendant's shop. A female requested him to walk in,
and select from a vniety, and if he could not please him-
self there would be no charge. He accordingly went in,
and tried on several pain, but only one pair fitted him, and
to them he objected, as they had wooden pep, which he
wished to have removed before he made the purchase. The
defendant made his appearance in the shop after a little
while, and began to curse and swear inset awful manner,
and witness refused to have anything mote to say to such
a tradesman, and was about to depart peaceably, when he
suddenly received a kick behind, which carried him intothe
middle of the street. The movement was most disagree-
able. (Laughter.)
Defendant said—The man in the witness box really gave
more trouble than even half • dosen women would have
given, and after having pulled on six or seven pairs of shoes
and boots, whieb bad to be wiped, and dusted, and brushed,
said he would have nothing to do with us. I confess I was
agitated to see my wife put to so much inconvenience for
nothing, and I think I did remove him in a hurry (a laugh)
—but I did him no injury.
Complainant—Your lordship, I felt the kick, for it lifted
me off my legs, and it was, I do assure you, by no means
pleasant. (Laughter.) I caa call a witness who saw me on
the move.

Alderman Hnoter—There is no occasion to all any wit.
nos. for the defendant admits that he asssulted you.
Defeedast—l hope your lordship will take into coasidera-
ties what • state half • hundred such customers would

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.-THIS DAY.

Our market was tolerabty well supplied with English
Wheat from Essex and Kent; the former consisted chit ay
of white, and was disposed of at an improvement of 2s. per
quarter, whilst that from Kent was mainly Ted Wheat, and
for which last week's rates were barely supported. Foreign
Wheat was a dull subs without alteration in value.

Flour was had for former prices.
Barley met a ready demand, and factors were enabled to
make sales at the currency of 31ohday bat.
Oats must be quoted fully 6d. per qr. cheaper than on

JAMAICA.

There were a few sporadic cases of fever among the
shipping in the harbour, but the island was not
particularly unhealthy. In commercial
.affairs thcro
was a partial tendency to speculate.

DEMERMIA.

Since last packet sailed, says our correspondent,
we have had a continuation of rainy weather, but
somewhat modified in its inclemency. The most
promising hopes are now entertained of the year's
crop ; the fields everywhere surpassing expectation.
The general trade of the colony shows still, however,
anything bat a healthy appearance. Imports of
everything but provisions are steady, bat demand
does not appear to keep pace with the supply. There
will one of these days, no doubt, be a reactian, but it
looms yet only at a distance.

THE UNITED STATES.

ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA.
LIVERPOOL, SUNDRY MORNING.
By the arrival, shortly after midnight, of the
Canard Royal Mail steam ship America, Captain
Neil Shannon, we have advicca from New York to

Wotton, from Southampton, arrived at New York on
the morning of the 19th ; and the Royal Mail
steam ship Europa, Lang, at Halifax, on the same

.he President and suite returned to Washington
on the 16th. The fatigue of the week's labour had
brought on an attack of illness on the President.

The Crystal Palace shares had fallen from 140
dollars to 123 dollars in the New York Stork Market,
owing, it was stated, to the disappointment felt at the
limited attendance at the Palace since its opening.
The Havannah correspondent of the New York
Herald states:

By later adviccs from Mexico, we learn that
Senor Salazar maintains the incontestible right of
Mexico to the Mesilla Valley, and threatens to re-
sign if the least concession is made to General Lane.
The Trait d' Union doubts whether Mexico will en-
tertain any proposition for the purchase of the Me-
silla.

The cholera continued to rage at Vera Cruz, and
was on the increase. The black vomit was also
making terrible ravages, and had frightened the
physicians, who were unable to save more than ten
out of 100 patients. The cholera was also very se-
vere at Jalapa.
A decree regulating the organisation of the govern-
ment council, composed of 21 persons, had been pub-
lished; also one regulating the interior of the national
palace.
Santa Anna had taken up his residence at Tacu-
bays, and established telegraphic communication
with the capital.

DRAMA.

GERMAN PLAYS—ST. JAMES'S THEATRE:
The last performanee of this mason, by the Oer—
man company, at the St. James's, took place on Saturday
evening. The play was Wiftiani: Ten, which was admi—
rably acted, and warmly applauded. Herr Emil Dewiest,.
in particular, had an eatbusiaatie reception, most justly duo
to a performer who has not his supesior on any stage is

Eutipe.
Two successful mason, have shown that ?Cm.
Mitchell, in making. the experiment of • German'
company, has not sversesXmared the taste for this
German drama among the Eng:ish public ~ snit as.
the knowledge of the language and literatures
of that country are daily increasing, we been- no IMAM
that German plays wsu.now become sregular,rertton of the
eneertabseents of esetiesson. No ether foreiga•stage is so
cosgeniel to &with tastes, feelings, and lubitr, el the
German. Our gloat marks haw served the German
dreetatiets for mcdeiss.both in form and substance. Sbaks-
pears may almost be smiled a Garms
n. as well as as Eng-
lish classic : his place, ia their Gorman dritss„ are familiar,
net to literati oadp, but to the peopy.e; sad even English
catisima finds. that they goes wonderfully little of
their original strength and boar ,ty. This has been
men in the ease of Hamlet as .d Othello, which have
been. among the most 'acetate.' performances of this
swoon ; and we think that these and other playa
of Shakspearo am peculiarly ints d for representation at our
German theses. The kaosled ge of the play assists an in:-
verfect knowledge of the Isar* age ; and the psrforni
a lesson as well as an entertaX iment. Many persons,ance is
with
a very limited knowledge of German, have derived as great
delight from Devrient's may nificent Hamlet as they could
have donehorn y actor u n our own stage. Some critics,
we observe, ha anve objected to these German performances of
Shakspeare, on the gran ad that the actors, unacquainted
with the English traJitio ns, do not make the accustomed
points, and thus disapp dint the spectator. This, we con-
fes was tus rather a source of pleasure. We have
toos, o much regard fe r tradition, or, in other words,
conventionalism, in our performances, both dramatic
and musical. Yon will hear a great foreign vocalist sing
an sir in The Aler,iah with the purest taste, the utmost
beauty and rapt ession. lint thil does not satisfy our
thorough paced critics—it is very fine, but not Mode-
/ion—the 513fre r does not know the traditions. In like
manner Ilson'ie a-e disappointed if our Hamlets, and
0 hellos. an A Macbeth', overlook some point made by
licmble, or Kean, or blacrtiaity. We own that the very
absence of some of these English conventionalitiss gave, to
our feehr,g, as agreeable freshness to the Gsrman acting,
and enb anted the 'ilea preduced by German simplicity and
earaes',aess.
NV e trust that Mr. Mitchell will he induced by his seems
not. only to resume these interesting performances, but to
bring back the same individuals to wheat talents hie sweets
his been owing.
