TURIN, Nov. 9.

As the day is fixed for the elections approaches,
the excitement increases, and the agitation and
anxiety in some of the provincial districts are, as
,ve learn, very groat. In Turin people take the
matter more quietly, but still the coming centest is
almost the sole subject of - conversation in
the clubs and cafes,
.and wherever men
assemble. It is well to be Vigilant, and Ice
avoid the over-confidence which sometimes leads
to a reverse, but in reality there seems very
little doubt how the elections will go, or that the
Government will. obtain a good working majority, •
It is expected that about fifty deputies, will be re-
placed by new men, but that this change will scarce-
ly produce one in the strength of the respective par-
ties in theiChamber. The clerical party is actively at
work, but with little appearance of success. Some of
ita principal members, including Solaro della Mar-
gherita, are put forward as candidates-for several
places at once, in hopes that, in one atleast out of
the number, they may prove suceess!'ul. It is-said
to he certain that Della Margnerite; will be beaten
at San Quirieo, which he represented in the last
Chamber. The various means, direct and indirect,
employed by the priests, the pastorals, and letters
sent- to newspapers by high church dignitaries, do
not seem to have much effect on the electoral body.
The manceireres practised- will work only on the
most ignorant. Generally speaking, the Piedmon-
tese have too fresh in their memory the system
under which they suffered, knowingly to do anything
that might tend to restore. it. The more edueated
. and reelecting part of the nation clearly sees- what
the result would be of the ascendancy. of the
retrograde party; and if ,the other and less- into].

still a wholesome instinct preserves- it from being

Intelligence has been received at St.. Petersburg from

that the creditors will,enly tuff ,r the delay necessary for

Aecounts from CronAadt sta'e that Eaglieb divers had
been sent down by the Russian government to examine the
line-oc-balle ship the Lafort, which receutitr sank in the
Baltic. -An imtnensa mass of hanaan bodies were below.
The effect produced on one of the divers by the sad sight
was such that no report could be obtained from him,
and he refused to ,*eicend a second time.

LORD GALWAY, AND, lll&TitiaNTS.—Lord Galway
has intimated, through hie agent. Me Newton, solicitor,
of East itedferd, that it is his Inrdship's intention, in
consequence of the unfavourable state of the weather
during the harvest, and the des ruction of property by the
late fleods, to. make a return of l per cent. to the
Nott,tigfamsbire tenan's from the reut due at Michaelmas.
'A Milan letter sate :e—," A viola:it sheek of earthquake
took place on the 4th at Menaggio, en the Lake of Como.
Its was about two in the morning, and the lake was as calm
ae a mirror, when all of a sudden three or font gigantic
waves approached the shore. They rushed forward with
such force !hat all the boats tied there were dashel one
eg, inst the .oth At, and as the water rose some of thorn were
borne aloft as high as Vas houses nearest to the water,
which were inundated, many of the inhabitaets being
dienched in their beds. Two women were drovnedeand
great damage was done to the boats and houses."
THE LATE DITCHES% DE Nzmutrns.---The indepcncitnice

written from London by Dr. H. G. de Mussy. physician to
the Qacen Marie Amelie, to a friend at illumels I

NEW WE,TYINSTER-BRIDGE.—Tite foundations of this
br;dge, which is under the design and saperintetyleeee.s of
Mr. Page, the designer of the stew bridge at Chelsea, are
new above low water ,nark. It is said that the structure
nil equal in elegance, and exceed in solidity, the neigh-
eourine aqueduct at Chelsea. We find from thea Times
-h t the total cost of the pew bridge, as at present estimated,
is £235,000, or at the rate of £2 Ss Gd per foot super-
ficial. The cost of the old bridge was £354e0.00, which is
at the rate £7 lfts per square foot of surface, or more than
three times the twat of the us s. According to the plan
laid down by Mr. Page, when the western half of the
entire width of the bridge is completed, it can be opened
for troths-, Teis plan is adopted in otder to get rid of old
weetueinster-bridge as soon as possible, for, though_ no
recent sinking has occurred, it cannot, nevertheless, be
regarded 415 iu spy other than a wont dangerous condi-
tion.
