THE NATIONAL DEBT.—The Lords Commissioners of
Her Maje Sty's Treasury have certified to the Commissioners
for the Reduction of the National Debt,. that there was no
surplus of actual revenue over the actual expenditure of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, for the year
ended the 30th September, 1855.

THE HYDE PARK RIOTS.—The ensuing sessions of the
Old Baily will be one of considerable interest ; the trial
of the police constables against whom indictments were
preferred at the instance:of the government, founded upon
the report of the commissioners, for violently assaulting
several persons, and upon :which the' grand jury at the
last sessions returned true bills, being appointed to take
place during the ensuing week, before one of the judges.

THE EMBASSY TO PERSIA.—A correspondent at • Con-
stantinople states that the difference between our minister
at Teherawand the Persian governmentlarises out of the
hostility of the Persian government to a man named
Mirza Ha,skin who was employed in our service, and who
took refuge in our embassy to avoid assassination. Our
minister asked the Persian government to give a guarantee
that the ;man's life would be safe ; but the Persian
government refused to give such guarantee in writing.
The British minister then struck his flag. It is thought
that the dispute, which is trifling, will be speedily
arranged.

may be, 5,000 were passed, and sent at once to join the

.ANEW SUBMARINE WAR MACHINE.—A. letter from St.
Petersburg says : " Mr. Mauer, after being refused by the
British government, has obtained great encouragement
from the Russians, who have been at the expense of erect-
ing one of his machines at a• cost of about 15,0001. lt is
said to be a clever invention, and to be spoken well of by
the most intelligent engineers at St.. Petersburg. It is to
be propelled by two screws, and _steered to any point
underwater; where it may remain for eight hours without
requiring fresh air to be pumped. The Russians osten-
tatiously profess to congratulate themselves that it was
riot adopted by the English, as it might haVe been effica-
clods in enabling them to remove the booms and mines
they have put under water to prevent the approach of
of ships of war.
