two Russian ladies in a carriage, one English lady,
Mrs. Brine, on horseback, Sir Colin Campbell, Lord
William Pullet, Generals Garrett, Barnard, and
Cameron, several staff, infantry, and artillery
officers, and rather a large number of High-
landers. The moment the commanders-in-chief
had entered the marquee, a crowd of Rus-
sian soldiers and mounted officers gathered
round to listen to the three Russian bands
each about sixty strong, which played admirably, and
look oa at some dances got up by four Russian
soldiers—a clarionet,tambourine, and pair of cymbal'
being the orchestra. One of these tour, a Cossack,
stood beautifully on his head, the others dancing
round him. This feat was repeated twice after
luncheon, before Sir William Codriogton. inside the
marquee, about 48 feet long by 15, which wsa white
tipped with green, there were three tables—
two rectangular ones, and between them, in
the centre, a small horseshoe table. At the
centre of this table sat Gen. Liders, having on his
left Marshal Pelissier, and on his right Geo. La Mar-
mon. Next to Marshal Pelissier sat Gen. Codrington.
At the two other tables there sat General Windham,
Sir Hugh Rose, and all the staff. Sir Cohn was
asked in, but as he had come to the review uninvited
he declined, until at a later time he was again sent
for—when he made his appearance, apparently much
to the delight of General Liders. The marquee was
lined with crimson; in the centre, round the pole,
were bright-barrelled muskets, which the Russians
always have. At one end wee a shield, made out of
swords, with the spread eagle in the centre ; and at
the other end a similar shield, made out of bayonets:
The tables were made of deal planks, covered with a
white table•cloth. There were no chairs or benches,

only camp stools. As the different toasts were
drunk, the bands outside played suitable airs;
but it always struck me that the soldiers cheered at
the wrong time, although their guides were four fel-
lows placed close to the mouth of the tent. All the
eatables and drinkables come from Baktchi•Serai,
where General Lfiders lives, and also the servant',
' who wore black coats and white waistcoats. Mar.
shal Peliasier, in proposing the Emperor Alexander's
health, alluded to the brave armies that were ene-
mies but are now friends. Two different kinds of
bread were on the table—the black ration bread and
the white bread, like cake. After the company had
risen, cigars were handed round, and several officers
who had been partaking of a capital luncheon just
outside, at the end of the marquee, from the remains,
together with others, were invited in. It was close
upon i before the allied commanders again mounted
their horses, when General Liiders sad Marshal
Pelissier, who was smoking, led, followed by General
La Marmors, Sir Hugh Hose, General *indham,
&c.; Sir William Codrington and his aide-decamps
keeping in rear amongst the escort, which was the
same returning as coming.

could be more delightful than It is.
. . .

This favourable change in the weather has been marked
by a decreus of chest affections, and a slight Mame of
febrile complaints, hut none of them of any great severity,
except in the Land Transport Corps, where typhoid fever
still prevail', and four out of the five fatal cuts of fevet
which eceurred during the week took place in the Land
Transport Corps alone. . .

Of the siateen deaths which have recurred during the
week, five were from fever ; two from apoplexy, the direct
effects of drunkenness; five from affections of the lungs;
two from chronic bow:1 complaints ; one, a sudden death
from the bursting of as aneurism of the sorts; and one
from the malts of a injury of the head received in a
drunken brawl sir weeks ago. So that only 12 out of 01416
are fairly attributable to diocese.

The ratio of admissions to strength this week hu been
1.81 per cent.; deaths to strength, 0.02 p:r cent.; sick to
well, 3137 per cent.
Takieg the whole force, the admissions to strength in all
the hcspitals, both general and regimental, have only been

shares were quoted Ito I prem. According to ad-
vice, from Paris the subscriptions for these shares in
Frames alone are far in excess of the aggregate capital
of the undertaking, irrespective of those entered Into

another illustration of the avidity with which new
railway concessions are at present received on the

est nts, an andante and an allegro viva e, ingeniously linked
together by a few toonecting passages, which keep up the
continuity of the music. The whole is brief, end the piece
may be designated by the diminutive term concertino. It is

and free from th.sse crudities and obscurities which are too

every respect &imitable, and it was warmly applauded.
The other novelty of the evening was also a plane-
forts piece—U.l's Duet (as he calls it) for the
piano and orchestra. It was jolt a pianoforte coo-
certo, cif a somewhat peen let form ; and though it is s very
sensual arrangement to introduce two such pieces iota one
concert, yet it was justified on this occasion by the very
greet merit ci b 4 r. Bilas's work. It was full of bold and
original effects, which were heightened by Mr. Biles's
masterly performance. Of Mozart's meet charming sym-
phony, which all the world knows, it is sufficient to say that

Copper maintains its lino position, and the demand
is good. Far iron, Welch manufactured has bees in
demand, and makers are asking higher prices. Staf-
fordshire, however, continues quiet, ani some makes
can be purchased considerably under quarter-day
prices. Scotch pig has advanced, notwithstanding
the increasing stooks, and the shipments and con-
sumption being lees than last year. The former were
last week 7,200 toes, against 10,400 tons correspond-
ing week of 1865. In lead there has been little
doing, and the high prices demanded by holders have
not been paid Spelter remain 9niet, but the stocks
have been somewhat reduced during last month, and
the supplies from abroad are likely to be small for
some time. Tin is without alteration. Tin plates,
however, are in good demand, and rather higher
prices are asked for coke.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

We have reoeived the Cape Toga Mail from Sep-
timber Bto September 23. The number of that journal for
September 23 says:
" We learn front good authority that the Cournandmin-
Chief km ordered the whole of the troops now in Cape
Town, and the regiments daily expected from England, to
I proceed at once to tea frontier, with the esesption of the
left miss of the B.h Reginald, about 400 men, who will
roman in Cape Town. These military changes are said to
be in reference to any emergency that may arise, either is
the Basica or Slambie territory, to require prompt action.
It is also mated that two Of Street:amps are to be formed in
British Bawls. The regiments withdrawn from Cape
Town are probably destined for this purpose.
"It Is reported in Graham's Town, that General Sir
Jetty Jackets, Commander-is-Chief of the Foram is this

eoloay, le to be seat to an Imprtant toommead either In
Canada or lodic, and that Chanel Wyndham, the officer

FRANCE AND THE HOLY PLACES.

JERUSALEM, Nov. 8.
The firma which concedes to Frew)e the site of
the ancient church of St. Anne, arrived at Jerusalem on
the 29. h of October. Three days later, Nov. 1, AU Saint,
Day, the French consul, accompanied by the governor,
Kiang' Fuchs, and by all the Museslman and Christian
members of the council of the proviece, repaired to the
I ancient sanctuary, and solemnly declared that he took jos.
session of it in the Emperor's name, for the purpose of
lagain raieisg it from its mini and restoring it te
Christian worship. After this ceremony and the public
I delivery of the keys of the holy plate into the
hands of the representative of France, the judicial anthorl-
tee, in presence of all the bystanders, and accompanied by
the officers of the consulate, proceeded to defies the bounds
of the new French posseesion, which the French consul
caused to be enclosed upon the spot.
This event has filled all the Christians of the Holy City
with joy, sad caused them to bless the name of France end
its august eon:sign.
This morning the consul of France was present, with the
whole staff of the consulate, at the two first maven, cele-

After regular hours there was a 611 of 40c. in the

There are two opinions, it appears, among French
financiers, WI to the probability of the success of the
Russian railways. The concession was not made to
M. Emile Pereire and his associates until after
it had been refused by MM. Rothschild,
' Mallet, and others. The latter, before coming
to a decision, sent M. de St. 'alien, an emi-
nent engineer, to Russia, and it wu upon his report
that they resolved to have nothing to do with the
scheme. M. E. Pereira has shown himself more

enterprising, and people who kaow him well think
he hes had the prudent* to make certain stipulations
1 which will enable him to modify or postpone the
execution of the eogsgements he hu entered into,
&wording to circumstances.

The Preece observes on the news in the Moositeur
that Aali•Paoha and Fuad Puha have joined the
Ottoman oabinet as ministers without portfolios,
that this situation does not seem normal. A president
of a council without special office may be conceived,
bat a minister without a portfolio is like a
fifth wheel to a carriage. The new Grand Vizier,
Elbow Puha, occupied for many yeas an impor-
tant pest aear the Sultan's person, and ultimately
became his principal aide-de.camp. He was dismissed
shortly after the last disgrace of his friend and pro-
tector, Resobid. Elhem Pacha is considered to be •
man of ability. He is extremely courteous in his
manners, and speaks French fluently.

orders come in freely. Manufactured iron is again
lower in price, but orders are given out at the lower
rates now ruling. Lead remains dull. Tin is very
firm, and the tendency oldie market is to still higher

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE FRONTIER DISPUTE.

The Nord of yesterday contains the following 1
from a Paris correspondent :
"According to despatches from Count Pereigny,
Earl Clarendon, in refusing to submit the difficulties
relative to Bolgrad to a Congress, relies upon the
20th Article of the Treaty of Peace, which says,
'Delegates of the contracting powers will fix in
its details the line of the new frontier.'
This article sot having specified that the
subject would be reported to the Congress, like
the questions of the Danube and the Principalities,
Iful Clarendon concludes that the Commissioners

have full powers to decide the details of this rectifica-
tion of frontiers at Constantinople. I ought to add
that the English Cabinet has shown itself within the
last few days more disposed to examine the means of
conciliation proposed by the French government."

RUSSIAN FORTIFICATIONS IN THE BALTIC.

FRONTIERS OF FINLAND, Nov. I.
The experience of the late war has opened the eyes
of Russia to the inadequacy of her coast defences, and
shown how exposed are her frontiere in Finland, and
how open to any attack on the seaboard from hostile
fleets. During the war the Governor-General of
Finland,Count vonßerg,was ordered to do his utmost
to strengthen the existing coast defences, and send in
plans for constructing new naval fortresses in the
province under his command. The subject engrossed
the attention of the late Emperor of Russia, and his
repeated visits of inspection to the north are matters
well known. Soon afterwards orders were given to
build a strong fort on the island of Kaskii, in the Gulf
of Bothnia, commanding the entrance to a deep and
spacious harbour, and destined to make good the loss
experienced by the fall of Bomarsund.
All along this line of coast for a distance of four
hundred miles there were no fortified places. Brahe-
stad, Uleaberg, Christinenstad, Lowisa, Wass, and
Carleby were only commercial ports, and it Is only
at Hango Head and the neighbouring Oustaysvaern
that any fortified works are to be found. In order to
protect the coast for the future, Husain has now de-
cided on constructing five new fortresses, the preli-
minary arrangements for which have been made this
summer, and the ground marked out. One of these
is situated is the extreme northernly corner of the
Gulf of Bothnia, a very short distance from the fron•
tier town of Tomes. The selection of the locality
appears to be well made and likely to answer the
purpose for which it is intended. The river Lemielf
flows into the gulf at this spot, and the promontory
of Bando.Suri, when the proposed batteries are
erected, will sufficiently protect the entrance to a
beautiful and spacious harbour. As the soil all about
this place is favourable for agriculture, and there are
roads communicating with all parts of the interior, it
is proposed to lay oat a new town, and by granting
certain privileges and facilities, it is expected that
many settlers will be attracted.

COLLISION ON THE LONDON AND NORTH-
WESTERN RAILWAY AT LEIGHTON BUZ.
HARD.

Yesterday morning, at ten minutes peat eight
o'clock, en alarming collision Mk place on the L-ndon and
North-Western Railway, at Leighton Buzzard. Happily it
was unattended wiih loss of life. The Dunstable puma-
ger train, which !teem that place at 7.35 a.m., arrived al
Leighton station at its proper time, 7 55. It was st the
station, allowing the passengers to alight, when the 7.0
p.m. goods train from Liverp .01, consisting of two eng;nes
and upwards of forty trucks, heavi y la len with cattle,
&e., mine up the line, end with a most fearful crash ran
into the Dunstable train, and drove it up the line a dis-
tance of 160 yards, soluble', breaking, and disabling en-
ginee and carriages. The Dunstable engine is a wreck, the
tender having been thrown on the top ut it. 'I ha Liver-
pool goods engine bat its buffers crashed ant it, frontispiece
very much shattered and diifiguied. One second-class pas-
senger carriage was almost smashed to atoms, and the
break van of the Dunstable train was likewise crushed. The
monster springs end gaietiees lying about, bent and
twisted in all directions, show how violent was the en-
counter. Had it happened two minutes earlier, the
result would have been dreadful to contemplate, five pen-
sergen having just got out of the very carriage that was
so completely smashed. The engint-river, stoker, and
guard of the Dunstable train escaped with a few slight
watches, havieg seen the Roods train approaching in time
enough to allow of their jumping off. A telegraphic mes-
sage was immediately despatched to London and Wolverton
to aneounee the. fact ; and In a very abort space of time
Mr. Bedford, with apilot engine and a strong body of men
from Wolverton, was on the spot to tender asaistance.
