AN ASIAN° CEEW.—DEMAND FOR WAGES.—This
morning a party of Lascars, 21 in number, and many of
whom appeared to be suffering from cold, applied to Mr.
Yardley under these circumstances :—They came from
India, in the sloop Janet Mitchell, to Bristol, where
they were discharged, and summoned the owner for
their wages, which were actually ordered, but not paid.
The owner brought them up to London, and shipped
them on board the Earl of Eglintoun, now lying in the
West India Dock. Mr. GPazier, an interpreter, said the
Lascars had repeatedly applied at that court, and that,
n one occasion Capt. Hutton, the master of the Earl of
Eglintoun, attended, and his worship informed him that
the men were entitled to their wages, and that they
ought to be paid before the Earl of Eglintoun sailed.
Captain Hutton then promised that the wages should be
paid. The Lascars had been in this port for several
weeks, their wages had bee❑ repeatedly promised, and
the Earl of Egliutoun was getting ready for sea, and
would sail in a day or two. The Lascars refused to do
any more work until they received the wages due to
them.

Mr. Yardley Paid he was very much surprised that the
La:cars had not received their wAges for the hfimewar,
v,,yage, and a,ked where the owner of the Jauet Mit-
chell was living.

Glazier replied at Greenock, and that he was also the
owner of the Earl of Eglintoun.
Mr. Yardley said it was most disgraceful to withhold
the wages. He was very much surprised they had not
been paid. If the Lascars were not paid forthwith, they
would have no security for payment when they got back
to the East Indies, because the cnptain who brought
them over in the Janet Mitchell was not the master of
the Earl of Eglintoun. He directed Tapling, 234 K, an
officer of the court, to wait on Captain Hutton immedi•
ately, and make a formal demand of the wages.

SPORTING NOTES.

THE NURSERY STARES.

When the weights for the Nursery Stakes were posted
in the room this evening a tremendous rush was made
to see them, and the general opinion was that that han-
dicap had been most impartially framed. At about
half-past eleven the acceptances were read, and a feeling
of disappointment was created by the division into two
classes—an arrangement which, although in accordance
with the conditions, proved destructive to speculation.
Ifp to 12 o'clock not a bet was made on either class,
but at last a Scotch earl took 25 to 1 that the two heavy
weights won. His judgment in this instance I am in-
clined to deem sound, for Manganese with all her
weight ought to be capable of defeating whatever oppo-
nents may be brought against her. Queen's Head,
however, will doubtless stick to her. For the second
class also I shall be inclined to adhere to the top
weight by recording my partially for Mincepie. Byrsa
and Diego are the next animals favourably handicapped.

IN RE STRAHAN, PAUL, AND CO.
THE CLAIM OF THE GLASGOW INSURANCE COMPANY.—
At the last sitting in this case a claim was made by the

of these bankrupts for the sum of 13,500/., balance of
20,0001. advanced by the company to Gandell, Brothers,
of Paris, the bankrupt guaranteeing by a deed the re-
payment of the advance.
The question raised was whether the bankrupts'
estate was liable for the amount, Gandall, Brothers, hav-
ing made default and become bankrupt since the bank-
ruptcy of Strahan, Paul, and Co. A lengthened argu-
ment ensued on the application to prove, Mr. Linklater
contending this was such a contingency as was contem.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE--(This Day.)

MANSION- ROUSE:

A DISGRACEFUL CIIARACTRIL—AIiza Baldwin and
her child, about 8 years of age, were placed at the bar
charged with stealing a shirt, the property of Daniel
Boardman, a sailor.
The prisoners and the prosecutor reside in one of the
narrow courts in Lower Thames-street, and last night
the prosecutor missed one of his shirts, hung out to airy
on a line reaching from his window to theirs. On mak-
ing inquiries, he received information which induced him
to go in search of the child, whom he found in
Cannon-street. He called a policeman to search
her. He shook her, and the damp shirt that
had been wrapped round her body under her
clothes fell down. The little girl said her mother
took it to sell to procure victuals with the money. The
mother was afterwards apprehended in a public-home.
The mother, in answer to the Lord Mayor, said she
took the shirt to get some victuals for herself and three
children, who had had only 11b. of bread between them
to eat for the last two days.

The prisoner's two other daughters, who were in court,

OPERATIONS AGAIYST THE RUSSIAN
SQUADRON IN TLEE PACIFIC.

- - -
The following account of the movements of our
fleets in the Pacific has reached us from a corre-
spondent in China :

"It will be borne in mind that last year an unsuccess-
ful at ack was made on the Russian settlement of Petro-
paulovski by the Pacific squadron under Admiral Price.
From all that can be learnt, we may expect to hear of
further operations against the same place by his succes-
sor, Admiral Bruce, part of the China fleet having been
detached to assist him. Our information as to the
enemy's force in these distant seas is singularly incom-
plete. A line-of-battle ship (the Ingermanland) is said
to be there, but has never been seen. The Diana frigate
vas lost during an earthquake at Sirnoda in November,
1854, and their remaining vessels appear to be—Pallas,
50; D wina, 22 ; Oltenitza, 22 ; Aurora, 44 ; Vostock,
3 or 5, and three or four more from Sitka, mostly
schooners or storeshipe. The force of the station and
at its disposition consists of three frigates—the Win-
chester, 50 (flag) ; Sybille, 40 ; Spartan, 26 ; five sailing
sloops—Coruus, 14 ; Racehorse, 14 ; Bittern, 12 ; Gre-
cian, 12 ; Rapid, 8 ; and fire steam sloops—Hornet, 17
(screw) ; Encounter, 14 (screw) ; Rattier, 11 (screw)
Barracouta, 6 ; and Sty; 6—in all 13 sail, exclusive of
the Australian division and of surveying vessels. In
addition to the above men-of-war, the Peninsular and
Oriental Company's steamer Tartar was chartered at an
enormous expense as tender to the Winchester, and
armed with three guns. Our allies' vessels were—the Sy-
bille, 52 : Constantine, 26 ; and Colbert, 6 (paddle), mak-
ing the effective force on the China station in March,
1855, five frigates, seven steamers, and five sailing sloop;
of 311 guns, and about 3,000 men. It was scattered as fol.
lows :—TheEucounter and Barracouta were despatchei
from Shanghai on the 22d of March to assist the Pacific
squadron in reducing Petropaulovski—a place within
the limits of this station. The Sybille, Hornet, and
Bittern sailed from Hong Kong on the 7th of April, to
reconnoitre in the Gulf of Tartary, and ascertain the
practicability of an attack on the Russian settlements on
the Amoor from the south.

TERR'IFIC EXPLoSI.).N AT THE CITY
OF i 0N1.01117 GAS WORKS.

An explo'.ion of a very alarming character took place
last evening in the City of London Gas Works, Dorset-
street, WhitefriarQ, which caused the greatest consterna-
tion, not only in the immediate neighbourhood, but also
on the Surrey side of the river Thames. Many persona,
owing to the violence of the report and the loud rum-
bling noise which succeeded it, came to the conclusion
that a number of men employed on the premises bad
been either killed or seriously injured ; but it is gratify-
ing to state that no one received the least personal in-
jury.

From the inquiries made at the factory, it appears
that during the last mouth or two a number of men have
been empleyed in erecting a large iron main round the
top of the outer wall, but for what purpose the parties
in charge of the factory refused to tell ; whilst some of
the men employed there stated that it was to convey
fresh air into the various buildings. One thing, however,
is certain, that a fearful explosion happened, which
made a noise equal to the discharge of several pieces of
artillery, shaking the houses near to their foundations,
frightening the horses drawing vehicles on the bridge or
in Fleet street, and making the inhabitants rush into the
streets in a state of excitement. A large piece of the
iron main in the yard near the dock was thrown down,
and another piece at the corner of Dorset-street was
also dislodged, and fell into the street. The brickwork
at the gable end of the meter-house was thrust out, and
for some time the district became obscured with dust.
The windows of several houses near have been shat•
tered, as well as those in the yard of the factory.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Oct. 20.—1 n order to complete the dif-
ferent lines of railroads now in progress, as well as
the important one not yet actually commenced, but
for which all the preliminary work is concluded—
that from the Bavarian frontier to Bruck on the
Trieste and 'Vienna line—it is the intention of the
cirovernment to form a permanent railroad building
fund, with a floating capital of fifty millions of
florins. This sum is to be raised by a loan, and as
a security for the repayment, particular districts of
crown lands in Upper Austria and Hungary are to
be specially mortgaged to the capitalists who take
the loan.
As soon as the domains transferred to the Bank
of Austria are taken possession of, the Government
will publish the law of colonisation, it being ex-
pected that by promoting immigration the value of
the property will in a short time be greatly en-
hanced. The draft of the law is completed, and
has received the imperial sanction.
The Emperor has come to town from Schonbrunn,
and given audiences at the Palace of Hof burg to
Count Buol, Field-Marshal Baron von Prokeseb,
and Count Rechberg.

EGYPT.
A letter from Alexandria, dated 11th Oct., in
the Press of Vienna, states that the strategics

movements of General Hassan Pacba, had deter-
mined 17 Bedouin chieftains, forming part of the
insurrection in Upper Egypt, to open negotiations
with the Government. They demanded a complete
amnesty for themselves and the insurgents. The
general promised it, and the chieftains entered the
camp to conclude the peace. But when the Vice-
roy heard of the event, ho commanded the general
to behead the 17 chiefs without delay. Hassan
Pacha, having given his word to the Bedouins, re-
fused to obey, and sent in his resignation, which
was accepted. Another general now commands
the troops. The Governor of Upper Egypt, Latif
Pacha, has received orders to signify to the Be-
douins that the Government will accord no amnesty.
It may, therefore, be considered probable that the
Bedouins will continue their hostile movement.

THE PENINSULAR MAILS.

SOUTHAMPTON, Oct. 24.—8 y the Peninsular and
Oriental Company's steam-ship Madrid, Captain
Cook, we have dates from Gibraltar, October 15 ;
Cadiz, 16 ; Lisbon, 19 ; Vigo, 20 ; and Oporto, 21.
The Madrid brings 57 passengers, 5 packages of

half-chests of lemon, 30 quarter-boxes do., 2 boxes
of saffron, 1 case of saccades, 12 cases of leeches,
61 boxes of grapes, 79 boxes of pomegranates, 76
boxes of eggs, and 29 packages of general merchan-

During the voyage the Madrid experienced, to-
wards Lisbon from Cadiz, a strong gale from the
north-west, with heavy squalls of wind and rain,
and a heavy, confused sea. On the 19th of Octo-
ber, off Belem, passed the steam-ship Grecian, steer-
ing up the Tagus.
The Madrid left her Majesty's ships St. George
and Neptune, with the French steamer Newton,
anchore ! in the Tagus on the 19th.
The Lisbon exchanges for bills at three months
are quoted this packet 54Q on London ; Paris, 527 ;
Amsterdam, 43 ; Hamburg, 482 ; and Genoa, 524.
There were very few takers for the bills offered
upon London and the continent, and the exchange
generally closed very heavy. Three per Cent.

A mpt Gazette, states that Prussia has been requested
by the French Government to send an engineer to

()
)1 ssing of Providence upon its efforts, strong in its faith,
n he rectitude of its cause, strong in the consciousness-
)f 0 ustice on its side, animated by the unanimity of the
)e pie and by their concord towards the common end—
le trusted they might say that there was nothing which
,h y might not hope to accomplish under the guidance
)f skilful generals, and by means of the valour of the
?;hglish soldiery. They had been told they were fighting
vithOut an object, because they were unable to specify the
precise terms on which they were wilting to close the war.
That must be a mistake. They knew the reason that
bald obliged them to take up arms--because Russia was
not disposed to obey the dictates of international law,
and set herself up in defiance of the other powers of Eu-
' r )i)e. Their object was to humble Russia, and injure
her and damage her in every way that they could, and
to make her feel that when the powers of Europe were
bandA together in support of right and justice, any
other country, be it what it might, was powerless in
resistance, and would be obliged to bend the neck. Such
was the object of the war, but it would not be accom-
plished by terms of peace. Russia would have to feel
herself actually humbled. lie desired not that in the
terms there should be anything that should rankle in
the mind of that country, but what he desired to see
established by negotiation was, security to us and the
other states of Europe, that if such a disposition —which
he trusted they should, by means of their armies, se-
verely chastise—continued to animate the policy of
Russia, the conditions of the kingdoms of the East
should be so raised for the future, that there should not
be the materials which there had been to carry such a
policy into effect. They had heard of rumours of peace.
He knew not what authority there was to be placed in
those rumours ; but be would say, if Russia humbled, was
ready to offer suitable conditions, he would accept them,
whether they came directly from herself or through an-
other channel ; but if on the other hand she was not con-
tent to sue for peace, and make terms that would satisfy
us as to the future, then our course was clear enough.
They would redouble their efforts. They would so em-
ploy the time during the next winter that they might be
fully prepared to commence in the spring of the year
with still more powerful effect. That wa, the only safe
course by which they could insure an enduring peace,
or accelerate the dawn of that day when tranquillity
would be restored to Europe, and the sanctity of public
right be established on such a basis that Russia would
not again attempt to assail. The hon, gentleman then
resumed his seat amidst loud applause.
