"A private letter from St. Petersburgh, of the 9th,
assures us," says the Patric, " that the Minister of
War has recently issued an important decree, and
which has for its object to put into execution a new
Imperial ukase, which orders an extraordinary levy
of soldiers in the central ProVinets of the empire.
The same decree declares that the different corps
dakniee now in the field, and those which have been
recently *put on a war footing, are to be completed,
and have an effective total of 80,000 men instead
of 50,000, as is ordinarily the strength. The com-
position of the different Russian corps darinee is to,
be as follows ;—Three divisions of infantry, two of
which are to be of the line, and one light infantry.
A division of infantry of the line in reserve, with
four regiments of cavalry, two of hussars, and two
of lancers. The cuirassiers Will form a separate
corps. A battalion of light cha,sSeurs, a battalion
of sappers, a bridge equipage, and a battalion of
gendarmery for the police of the corps d'armee.
Twelve batteries of foot artillery, having each eight
guns ; two batteries of horse artillery, and four
batteries of artillery of reserve marching with the
division of reserve ; and, in addition, a body of
6,000 Cossacks."

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

DUBLIN, MONDAY EVENING,

'THE SUBMARINE TELEG.RAPEL—The Belfast Chro-
nicle says :—Her Majesty's steamer Asp, under the
command of Lieutenant Alfridge, R. N., arrived at
Belfast on the l oth instant. This vessel has been
sent by the admiralty to render every assistance in
her power to the above company, and to pilot the
Albert, with two submarine lines across the chan-
nel. These lines are expected to be submerged on
Tuesday and Saturday in the ensuing week. There
are two large waggons employed in bringing the
cable from a field in the Craigie road, each load
contains nearly five miles length of line, were it
has been undergoing the operation of testing, &c.,
under the superintendence of George Dering, Esq.,
WhO his lately patented the laying down of sub-
marine cables without any insulation. That
gentleman, with the Hon. Mr. Massey, a director of
the company, have been some time staying at the
Donegal Arms, and we wish them that suc-
cess which their unremitting exertions so well
deserve.. We understand this company's telegraph
wires are joined to the British Telegraph Com-
pany's at Dumfries. .
HEAD PoucE-oFFIcE.--Considerable interest was
created at this office on Saturday, by a charge
being made by Theresa Kenny, the mistress of the
murderer Kirwan, against Mr. George Darling,
that he had obtained certain sums of money from
her under false pretences. The money, it appeared
was detained under, the representation that the
prisoner was an attorney, and that he could get
back for the presecutrix certain property of Kir-
wan's which had been forfeited. At the conclu-
sion of the case, it was intimated that the crown
had taken it up, and the prisoner was remanded
until he could procure bail.

EMIGRATION AMONG THE POLICE. —A circular letter
signed by the inspector-general of constabulary,
has been recently promulgated, the object of which
is to check emigration in the police force. It sets
forth that retired policemen representing them-
selves as agricultural labourers, and' thereby ob-
taining passages to Australia, will subject them-
selves to a penalty of £5O. The alarming large
number of resignations recently received from po-
licemen who have emigrated, or intend immediately
to set out, has induced the inspector-general to
adopt the course indicated above for the pur-
pose of preventing, as much as possible, further
emigration.
CLONMEL ELECTION.—The Freeman of to-day
contains a large quantity of very varied matter, in
reference towards this event. It all points, how-
ever to the same head, namely, the election
of Mr. John O'Connell. The .committee of
election and the league are at daggers about it, but
as yet the latter have not put forward any candi-
date formally: Taking things in their entirety, I
believe there is little doubt of Mr. O'Connell's re-
turn.

SHIPWRECK.—A brig, name unknown, with her
keel uppermost, has been thrown in between a
couple of small islands on the west coast. She is
laden with timber.

THE EARL OF DERBY AND M.R._HUME, M.P.,

ON THE EASTERN QUESTION.

The following letters were received by the Secretary of
the Manchester meeting, in reply to the invitations sent to
the Earl of Derby and Mr. Joseph Hume :
" Knowsley, Nov. 14.
" Sir,—l have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter
of the 12th inst., but regret that the state of my health—
slowly recovering, as I am from a severe attack of illness,
which for the last month has almost entirely confined me to
my bed—renders it impossible for me to entertain the idea
of attending. the proposed meeting on Wednesday next. So
far as I am informed as to the merits of the Eastern question,
right appears to me to be altogether on the side of Turkey ;
and I believe that my opinions, as to the utter futility of the
pretexts put forward by 'Russia in justification of her acts of
unprovoked aggression, are shared by the great mass of my
countrymen.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,
"DERBY.
" T. S. Clayton, Esq."

" Burnley-hall, Nov. 16.
" have this morning received your letter of the
12th, inviting me to attend a public meeting to be held this
day. in Manchester. I request you will express to the com-
mittee my thanks for their invitation, and belief that any
opinions of mine could have aided the cause for which the
meeting will express its sympathy. The invasion of terri-
tory, and the late proclamation of the Russian government
against Turkey, must secure from all independent people the
strongest feelings on their behalf; and I hope it will be
proved that our government have been consistent in the
support of the Turks. If victory is to be with those who
are right, the Turks must be, as I wish them to be, success-
ful ; and it. is quite possible that something advantageous to
the liberty of Europe may yet spring from the hostilities
now going on.—l remain your obedient servant,
" JOSEPH HUME.
"T. S. Clayton, Esq., Hon. Sec., &c."

A MANUFACTURED BAEL—During the last few cold
nights, a woman has been :,egging in Oxford-street, Man-
chester, apparently with a little child, well muffled up in her
cloak ; and, as she was very importunate and annoyed many
decent people, a policeman took her to the police-station, and
it was there found that the baby was made of shavings
wrapped up with rags into something like an infantile form.

THE NORTHERN

ANOTHER HORRIBLE MURDER IN
NORFOLK.

We Have again to ritofd a barbirOils mitider and high=
way robbery, committed at noonday, in West Norfolk, about
12 miles from the spot where a man was shot down and
robbed by Groom, who was executed last year. The person
whose untimely end we have now to state was a silversmith,
named Lorenzo Belia; residing in St. Stephen's, Norwich, a
native of Baden Baden; and supposed, to have no relative in
this country. lie had two assistants in his shop at Norwich,
to whom he left the care of the business, while he travelled
through the country to obtain orders and to sell his jewel-
lery. He sold his goods to country people, and his custom
was to take payrOent in small instalments: Among other
places which he visited at regular intervals were Welling-
ham and Tittleshall, villages two miles apart, situate near
Fakenham, in West Norfolk. Last Friday Mr. Belia was
walking from Wellingham to Tittleshall, about 1 o'clock
in the day, when he was last seen alive by two la-
bourers who were ploughing in an adjoining field.
He had at that time; according to the cal-
culation of his aSSistants, about £3O in Money;
which he usually carried in a double purse, besides his box
of jewellery, and a few watches which he was accustomed to
carry in his pockets. Midway between Wellingham and
Tittleshall there is a plantation on each side of the road,
and on one side the plantation ends on a common. Between
1 and 3 o'clock several persons passed along the road at this
spot on their way to Derehamgmarket, and observed a
quantity of blood in the middle of the road, hitt, having no
suspicion of a murder having been committed in the middle
of the day, on a spot so much frequented, continued their
journey without stopping to make any inquiry. At half-
past 3 o'clock, however, on the same afternoon, John Ro-
binson, a butcher residing at Tittleshall, who had walked
over to Wellingham, reached this spot on his way back,
and, his attention being arrested by the great quantity of
blood on the road, he stopped to look at it, He observed
that some portion of thd blood had been partially covered
with dirt and sand scraped from the road. Just at this
moment the sons of the Rev. Mr. Digby, of Tittleshall,
came riding up on ponies, and two ladies in a gig, Mrs.
Digby and Miss Sheppard. The whole party stopped, and
their attention was directed to the blood. One of the young
gentleman observed that there was a trail of blood
from the road to the hedge, and the butcher, standing, on
the hedge, saw that the trail was continued through the
, fence into the ditch of Tittleshall-common, on the other
side, Where a horrible spectacle was presented. The body of
Mr: Bella was found with his legs towards the hedge; and
the coat-collar up, as if the murdered nian had been dragged
by his coat-collar through the fence. Beside the body lay
Mr. Belia's box of jewellery unopened, but taken out of the
hag ; his stick and umbrella, and also a large hatchet, such
as is used for felling timber. The blade of the hatchet was
covered with blood and hair, and it was evidently the wea-
pon by which the unfortunate man had been murdered.
The pockets of his trousers had been turned inside out, and
rifled; but an account-book was found in his pocket, and in
his waistcoat-pocket a watch, still going. His head had
been nearly severed from his body by a blow at the back of
the neck, and there were four deeply cut wounds across the
temples and face, any one of which would have caused death.
The right eye was driven inwards to the depth of nearly an
inch ; indeed the poor man appeared to have been felled
like an ox, and drao•cred into the ditch.
A man named William Thompson, employed in felling
timber, is in custody charged with the murder ; and from
the evidence already adduced, there seems little doubt of his
guilt. When taken into custody in bed, it was found that
the legs of his trousers were soaked with blood, as also his
shoes. It has likewise been ascertained that shortly after
the murder the prisoner was seen with a hunting watch and
a quantity of gold and silver. The watch cannot now be
found, and the prisoner denies ever having had one. A
man named Webster, has sworn [that he saw the pri-
soner in the plantation adjoining the ditch where the body
was found, and on his approach the prisoner stooped down
to hide himself.
