PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin, of the 2d, says :—" The
Prussian Government, like that of Austria, has
wldressed a circular despatch to the German Courts
relative to the Russian note of the 10th May. It
declares in that despatch, which is dated the 23d
ult., that for its part it does not intend to take in
the Diet any steps to excite the Confederation to
take part on one side or the other ; but that it can-
not admit in principle that the German States
must- undertake to remain neutral under all cir-
cumstances."

A letter from Berlin, of the 31st ult., in the
Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, says :—" All the
negotiations hitherto opened between Prussia and
the Western Powers having been broken off. M.
de Used om, who had been charged at London
with a secret mission from the Cabinet of Berlin,
and who had only prolonged his residence in Eng-
land for family reasons, is about to return here."

attention than it has yet received ftom the agriculturists,
and that a better system of management, both local and

THE NEWSPAPER STAMP.—The railways in
try ate likely to gain a good deal of that which t...
chequer will lose by the abolition of the newspaper star,.,
.t
The Nation of to-day says :—" We, and our popular
Ootitemporaries, we believe, mean to use the stamp as
as we poS„A.thly cant
and we bad accordingly to con-
smer now i'. means of carriai:f.' and distribution could be
improvised in lieu of the Post Oda. In workiracticalng out
the details of this question Dr. Gra:,t's p
ability has been of marked value to the Cammon
interest ; and at a consultation which took place
at the Amiens-street Terminus, ou Thursday, at-
tended by the principal newspaper proprietors,
1 news agents, and secretaries of the various lines
every disposition was shown to aid the circulation of the
press by all the means of communication at their dis-
posal. We are glad to find that the Irish railway com-
panies are on this point, as on many others, animated by
so high a public spirit, and in advance of the English
companies ; for as yet we, at least, have heard of no com-
mon movement either in England or Scotland to faciitate
, the dispatch of papers by. parcel instead of mail. In

STRICTURE of the URETHRA : its Rational
Treatment and Prompt Cure.
By F. B. COURTENAY,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
" We believe Mr. Coartenay's experience in the treatment of stric-
ture during the last twenty years has equalled, if, indeed, it has not
surpasse4, that of any of his contemporaries. It is, therefore, no
matter of sue prise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a
most liexterous and skilful manipu ator with urethral instruments ;
and when it is remembered that the lamented Liston used to assert
that the introduction of instruments through a stricture which had
previously been impermeable to them, was the most difficult in the
Whole ranee of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of
gratification on Mr. Courtenay's part to have achieved the reputation
he has in this respect ; and for our part, with the knowledge we have
of his experience, we know of no man to whose care we would with
greater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture
of the urethra"—Afedical Circular.

WEST KENT REPRESENTATION.—We have been in-
formed, on what we consider good authority, that the
Liberal candidates at the next election for the western
division of the county will be Mr. Whatman and Mr.
Martin. The county elecctors must appreciate as it de-
serves the transfer of Mr. Whatman's affections to them
from the Reform Association of Maidstone ; and Mr.
Wykeham Martin no doubt regards his coalition with
Mr. Whatman as only involving the question of a few
rounds more or less of the ladder to which he likens
political parties. The Conservatives are, however, on
the alert ; and the return of Mr. Masters Smith and Sir
Walter Riddell is conside-red as certain as if they had
just taken the accustomed oaths at the table of the
House of Commons.—Maticistonc Journal.

THE BALTIC BLOCKADE.

The Earl of ALBEMARLE wished to ask whether
the Russian Government were justified in asserting that
this country had departed from the principle originally
laid down for conducting the blockade, viz., that a neu-
tral flag should cover the cargo. This fact had arisen
out of the proclamation of the blockade of Port Baltic,
and other ports in the Gulf of Finland, on the 28th of
April last, by Captain Watson.
Earl GRANVILLE replied that there was
foundation whatever for the statement so put forward.
The Earl of HARROWBY further explained that nei-
ther Captain Watson nor his lieutenant had given any
cause whatever for such an assertion.
THE IRISH PEERAGE.
The Earl of DERBY gave notice, that on Monday
next he would call their lordships' attention to the cir-
cumstance attending the creation of the title of Baron of
Fermoy, a subject which was of the greatest importance,
as it would raise the whole question of the Irish Peerage.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

A letter from Vienna in the Dresden Journal,
say-, :—" Half of the 35,000 Austrians quartered at
Bucharest have left for Kimpina, where a large
camp for manoeuvres has been formed. They will
remain there for six weeks, and be then replaced
by the other half. Officers of the Austrian staff are
about to commence a topographical survey of Wal-
lachia, on different points at the same time. Some
of the officers charged with this duty have already
left for the frontier of Moldavia, and others for
Tultcha and Bulgaria. M. Ballau, a French en-
gineer, whose arrjval at Bucharest was considered
to be connected with the construction of a railway
for uniting that place to Constantinople, has left
for :ißustchuck to superintend the formation of a
road from that place to Varna."

A letter from-Vienna, of the 31st ult., in Voss's
Gazette, says :—" Our Government sees with regret
the frequent changes that are made in the com-
manders of the Turkish troops in Wallachia, which
prevents the possibility of a proper uncle' standing
being established between the superior chiefs of the

forces of the two powers. Assan Pacha, who has
lately commanded the Turkish forces, had given
great satisfaction, and he now has been replaced.
by Soliman Pacha. As these changes are in ge-
neral caused either by intrigue or by corruption,
this last nomination is attributed to a renegade
who arrived from Schumla at the beginning of
this month. The friends of the Turkish Go-
vernment are, however, taking steps to induce
the Muschir to revoke the above appointment.
Some of the shipowners of Trieste have applied to
the Government to have the mouth of the Sulina
cleared by steam dredging machines, but as some
time will elapse before any decision will be come to
on the subject, the Lloyd's Company have decided
on sending a steam, tug to_assist vessels in the
meantime."

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin, of the 2d, says :—" The
Prussian Government, like that of Austria, has
a ldressed a circular despatch to the German Courts
relative to the Russian note of the 10th May. It
declares in that despatch, which is dated the 23d
ult., that for its part it does not intend to take in
the Diet any steps to excite the Confederation to
take part on one side or, the bther ; but that it can-
not admit in principle that the German States
must undertake to remain neutral under all cir-
cumstances." _

A letter from Berlin, of the 31st ult., in the
Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, says :—" All the
negotiations hitherto opened between Prussia and
the Western Powers having been broken off. M.
de Usedom, who had been charged at London
with a secret mission from the Cabinet of Berlin,
and who had only prolonged his residence in Eng-
land for family reasons, is about to return here." •

THE BALTIC.

- -
A Hamburg letter of the 29th ult., in the Inde-
pendance Belge, says :--
00 English Government is still increasing the num-
ber of its war vessels in the Baltic. At no former period
was so powerful a fleet assembled in any sea. I might
every day announce to you in my letters the arrival
from the English ports of additional ships of war going
to join the fleet of Admiral Dundas, in the Gulf of Fin-
land. On the 24th, a transport steamer, laden with
ammunition, and a gun boat, entered Elsinore. On
the 25th a bomb vessel, the Redwing, reached Copen-
hagen, and on the 27th the steam corvette Volcano,
with a gun-boat, arrived at Kiel, also coming from Eng-
land. It is not to be supposed that so large a concentra-
tion of naval forces in the Gulf will remain there in-
active as last year. The English officers say that, Ad-
miral Dundas is only waiting the junction of the French
squadron, of which he naturally desires the co-opera-
tion, to commence hostilities. The English fleet now
lying at anchor near the island of Nargen, opposite
Revel, in the Gulf of Finland, consists of 10 steam-
ships of the lino, four corvettes, and six gun-boats. The
frigates and other lighter vessels are cruising in various
directions. I am told that after the declaration of the
legal blockade, the Finglish commander before Libau
allowed the Belgian merchantman Ernest to leave that
port in ballast. Four English ships of war are con-
stantly in sight of Sweaborg, closely watching the
movements of the enemy in that military port. In a few
hours they can communicate with the main body of
the fleet stationed at Nargen. The Isles of Aland con-

Major REID gave notice that, ou the 25th of June,

THE VIENNA NEGOTIATIONS.

In reply to Mr. T. DUNCOMBE,
Lord PALMERSTON said it was true, a 3 reported
in to-day's papers, that the Vienna negotiations would
be closed this day. The result could not be known that
evening ; but his expectation was that intelligence would
be received that evening or to-morrow to that effect.
(Hear, hear.)
Mr. BRIGHT wished to know when the papers
would be produced to show the effect of any further
negotiations, so that the country might know with what
prospect they were entering upon a protracted war.
Lord PALMERSTON said be could not now reply
to the question, but would do so to-morrow.

WORSHIP - STREET. Ofmaus RUFFIINISM
PUNISHED. —John Henry Moore, an omnibus drivt-r,-
wearing the badge 2,722, appeared before Mr.
Hamnii 1,
the sitting magistrate, upon an adjourned 811MMOnt1;- tr.;
answer a charge of using abusive and insulting language
to Mr. Daniel Parry, a surveyor, resident at Dalston.
The complainant stated that on Friday afternoon, the
26th ult., he-bailed the defendant's omnibus in the City
and-got upon the roof to ride, and finding some unneces-
sary delay, he observed, " You are a long time stopping
here, Mr. Moore ;" ripon which the defendant insult-
ingly exclaimed, " Who the --- are you ? you are only
a -- stockbroker," with a great deal more of abusive
and low language. In the Hackney-road he alighted,
when he charged the defendant with being intoxicated,
and he then called me a liar, repeating that and
similar expressions several times, and tauntingly offered
to show as much money as be could. In reply to a
question by the defendant, he denied that be bad said
that omnibus drivers were vagabonds, or that be used
any such language. • •
The defendant, in answer to the charge, said he could
have a good character from his employer, Mr. Forge,
and that he had, several witnesses there to speak for
him; but they had left the court ; and be muttered some-
thing to the effect that the magistrate must do as he
pleased. •
Mr. 1:11:ramill- said. be bad seldom beard of a more
gross case; and he, should mark his opinion of it by
making an example of the defendant, who so miscon-
ducted himself towards the respect3ble persons who bad

LATEST NEWS.

GREAT VICTORY IN ASIA.

DEFEAT OF THE RUSSIANS.

PARIS, FRIDAY MORNING.

the following most important despatches re.
specting the war in Asia have jast been received
here:—

" On the sth of November (the anniversary of
Inkermaii) Omer Pacha beat the Russians in a
pitched battle, on the river Ingour, in Mingrelia.
" The Russians numbered 20,000.
"The fight lasted five hours.
" The Russians suffered severely."
A second despatch confirms this, and adds :
" Omer Pacha forced the passage of the Ingour

at four points, against superior numbers.
" The Generalissimo has pushed on to Kutais."

It will be remembered that immediately on
the receipt of the intelligence of the brilliant vic-
tory of General Williams at Kars, Omer Pacha
set out at once, with considerable forces, from
Soukoum-Kale. He appears to have proceeded
by rapid marches to the river Ingour, in Min-
grelia, where he found a superior force of Rus-
sians prepared to dispute the passage, which,
however, he succeeded in forcing at four points
after a combat of five hours, completely defeat-
ing the Russians, and inflicting great losses on
them.

He appears to have pursued them, for the de
spatches add that he pushed on to Kutais.

We trust we may now conclude that Kars is
safe. From other sources we learn that its gal-
lant defenders still kept their communications open.
Indeed the Russians, even on the Ist of Nov.,
seemed to be making preparations to raise the
blockade. Their movements would, no doubt, be
hastened by the news of the glorious victory of the
sth of November, which adds another to the well-
earned laurels of the great onekal, Omer Pacha.

Once at Kutais, Omer Pacha would have ef-
fected one-third of his march ca Kars.

BERLIN, FR/DAY, Nov. 16.

For the purpose of increasing the number of
officers, the Emperor of Russia has issued an
ukase, applicable to the whole of the empire, faci-
litating the entrance of poor nobility into the
army.

BERLIN, Nov. 14.

The Emperor Alexander, in consideration of
the complete ruin of Russian commerce at Sebas-
topol, Eupatoria, Yalta, Kertch, Kaffa, and Ber-
diansk, has ordered that the trade shall be exempt
from all the usual taxes and duties until the
restoration of tranquillity in the Taurida.
The Grand Duke Constantine, in his quality of
Grand Admiral, has appointed a commission at
Nicolaieff charged to indemnify the officers, em-
ployes, and sailors of the navy for the losses they
have sustained in furniture and other property at
Sebastopol,

Accounts, dated the 29th October, had reached
St. Petersburg from Pabbach, on the coast of
Livonia, stating that an enemy's corvette had
burnt four vessels laden with wood and a cutter.

TREBIZOND, Nov. 1.

The Russians have sent from Kars to Alexan-
dropol the greater portion-of their baggage.
This seems to indicate that they are about to
raise the blockade of Kars.

The besieged are able to keep open their com

munications.

,Eight thousand Turks are marching on Kutais.
It is rumoured that the Russians have evacu-
ated Kutais, and have retired on Tiflis.
The Duke of Newcastle left Trebizond on the
I st, for Constantinople.

MR. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-
street, has introduced an entirely new description of ARTI-
FICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from
the original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or
decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
This method does not require the extraction of roets, or any painful
operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth
rendered sound and useful in mastication.--52, Fleet-street. At

and they greeted him with loud cries of " Vive
le General !" followed by others of " Vive
l'Empereur !" The General, who seemed rather
surprised at the demonstration, was neverthe-
less much pleased, and expressed his thanks. A
sort of escort was then formed of the principal
inhabitants and, the public bodies, and preceded by
torches and a band of music, it accompanied the
General to his house, where his wife and family
were waiting to receive him. Near his residence a
triumphal arch was erected, and on it was the
inscription, " Honour to General Couston, one of
the bravest amongst the heroic conquerors of Sebas-
topol !"

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

ROLLS COURT.
BILLLNGIIAM V. NORRISH.-JUDGMENT.

The Master of the Rolls gave judgment to-day in this
case, in which the bill was filed for the purpose of com-
pelling the defendant specifically to perform a contract
he had entered into-- with the plaintiff to purchase the
lease and business of a chemist, which had been carried
on by the plaintiff at 41, Tichborne-street, Vauxhall-
road. Both plaintiff and defendant were chemists and
druggists, and the ground on which the defendant re-
fused specifically .to perform the contract was, that the
business was not so profitable as bad been represented
by the plaintiff, and that it did not produce Si. a week.
Although the defendant refused to perform the contract,
the plaintiff continued for some time to carry on the
business, thinking that, after some negotiating, the mat-
ter might be settled to the satisfaction of all parties.
Ultimately, however, he discontinued it, and the good
will was thereby materially injured. After the discon-
tinuance of the business the landlord put in an execu-
tion, and under it the stock, after the lapse of some time,
was sold. The Master of the Rolls, in giving judgment,
stated that the law was clear that if either party to a
contract destroyed or injured the subject matter of it
after it had been entered into, and before it had bee❑
specifically performed, that party would not have the
benefit of the contract, but must be made liable for his
misconduct. In the present case, in the opinion of the
court, the misconduct was all on the side of the defend-
ant. The objections he had taken to perform the con
tract were entirely without proof, and the statement that
the business did not produce 8/. a-week had not been
supported. There must, therefore, be a decree for the
specific performance of the contract.
