TURKEY.

KIJSTRIA.

VIENNA, Nov. 13.—The Emperor left Trieste
yesterday morning, at 8 o'clock, and reached
Schonbrunn this morning. The Archduke Ferdi-
nand Max is going on well. Baron Prokesch ar-
rived here from Frankfort on the 11th, and will
soon go to his post at Constantinople. Count
Coronini, the Commander in the Danubian Prin-
cipalities, arrived here yesterday morning. The
Nuremberg Correspondent has learned that Count
Coronini was summoned to Vienna by Count Buol,
in order that he might be able to give his opinion
to his Majesty " relative to what is likely to occur
next spring." The meaning of this is, that it is
here believed the campaign will be opened next
year on the Lower Danube. It is, however, the
opinion of scientific Austrian officers that it would
be madness for the Allies to attempt anything
against Bessarabia and Volhyma until they have
obtained possession of the Crimea, and raised all
the Caucasian tribes against the Russians. The
Po has overflowed its banks, carried away all the
pontoon bridges, and inundated the whole of the
neighbouring country.
The Oesterreichische Zeitung has a letter of the 2d
of November from Odessa. The Grand Duke Con-
stantine has directed all the persons belonging to
the Black Sea fleet who suffered losses at Sebastopol
to send a conscientious account of them to Nico-
laieff. When the inhabitants of Oczakoff emigrated
they were robbed and ill-treated by the Cossacks,
but a complaint having been made to the Emperor
the offenders were punished according to mar-
tial law. The correspondent observes that the ad-
vice given by the Augsburg Gazette to form strand
batteries, armed with long 48 and 50 pounders, is
excellent, but unfortunately the Russians have no
larger guns than 36 pounders in the neighbourhood
of the Black Sea. Last July a park of 48 and 60
pounders was ordered to be cast in Siberia, and the
guns, when they arrive, will be mounted at Nico-
laieff. On the Ist the allied fleets passed Odessa
in three divisions. The large ships took the direc-
tion of Constantinople, but the steamers and gun-
boats were evidently making the best of their way
to Sebastopol. On the Ist a Greek brigantine
laden with salt managed to escape the fleet, and
ran into the port of Odessa.

PRUSSIA.
BERLIN, Nov. 15.—The Chambers of Nobles
and Deputies are convoked for the 29th. For the
supplementary elections of Berlin, the choice of the
election has fallen on the Librarian Reimer, the
Town Counsellor Pock, Town Secretary Bode,
Counsellor of the Tribune Sehnert, and the Preii-
dent Weutzel. At Magdibourg, the Counsellor of
Legation, Gronner, has been elected.

A letter from Varna of the 12th, in the Cologne
Gazette, says :—" Prince Gortschakoff has lately
received a letter from his brother, the general, who
expresses a hope of being able to hold the Crimea
against the Allies during the winter."

PREPARATIONS FOR ANOTHER ATTACK
BY THE RUSSIANS.

The Courrier de Marseilles publishes the follow•
ngletter, dated Camp of Inkerman, 30th ult. :
...

While the allied armies were only bent on prepar-
ing for themselves winter cantonments, and every one
regarded the campaign as definitively closed, owing to
the immovability of the Russians, the report of a proxi-
mate attack of the enemy began to circulate, and dis-
turbed the dearly-acquired repose enjoyed by our sol-
diers. This is not a vague rumour. The advices re-
ceived by our Generals, the accounts given by the
deserters, and the reconnaissances effected close to the
very lines of ike enemy fully convince us that the Rue-
slaw; are about to make a forward movement. They
have of late reinforced their bridge equipages and
collected on certain points the materiel necessary
to convey their artillery across streams and ravines.
Those preparations may have two objects in view
—either to serve for a retreat or an offensive movement.
Opinions are divided in the allied camp, and each party
adduces reasons equally admissible. Be this as it may,
there is one fact well known to everybody and admitted
by all—namely, that fresh troops and divisions of the
Imperial Guard have lately joined the army of Prince
Gortschakoff. The Russians were hitherto sufficiently
strong to maintain and defend with advantage the long

line of intrenchments occupied by them, from the north-
ern fort to the plateaux of the Upper Belbek. Nothing
even obliged them to retain their positions to the north
of the roadstead. There is consequently every reason to
believe that the reinforcements received by the Russian
Generalissimo will inspire him with a desire to retrieve
the prestige .of his arms by some desperate attempt.
The resolution of the enemy is the more probable
as the fears he must have entertained for Kher-
son and Nicolaieff, since the capture of Kinbourn,
and which must sooner or later bring to the banks of
the Dnieper and the Bong a large portion of his contin-
gents, impose to a certain degree on Prince Gortscha-
koff, before he quits the Crimea, the obligation of offer-
ing battle to his adversaries. Thus the project attri-
buted to the Russians of directing a new attack upon
our lines of the Tchernaya does not indicate that they
will not evacuate the Crimea. It is a mere point of
honour with them, for they certainly cannot indulge the
hope of driving us out of our position. Those different
contingencies have not been overlooked by our chiefs,
as you may suppose, and, notwithstanding onr anxiety
to see the Russians at last descend into the plain,
every precaution is taken to guard the army against
a surprise. Our intrenched lines from Balaklava to
Inkerman are carefully inspected and constantly ex-
tended and improved by our Engineers. The points
easily accessible have been defended by new works, and
on every point their armament is truly formidable. This
will not prevent us from going to meet the enemy, if
he affords us the opportunity, but, as I have already.'
stated, no precaution is neglected. The armament of the
new works erected on the Feduikhine heights, command-
ing the only passage through which the Russians can
debauch on the Tchernaya, has fixed the particular at-
tention of our officers of engineers. The French divi-
sions are constantly kept on the qui vim. At every
moment some engagement between the outposts in-
duces a belief that the Russians are about to attack
us, but hitherto none of their movements have
indicated such an intention on their part. The Sar-
dinian army is perfectly well installed on our left,
and equally desirous to, have another brush with the
enemy- The English continue to occupy in great force
the neighbourhood of Balaklava. There is nothing new
at Sebastopol. The Russians and allies cannonade each
other across the port, but with little or no effect. The
camps of the Russians on the other side resemble mole-
hills. It is astonishing with what activity they dig the
ground. We often ask ourselves if this is not a phan-
tasmagoria, and what can be the utility of those im-
mense works, which add nothing to the security of the
main army. On our side numerous batteries are being
erected, particularly around Fort St. Nicholas. We
daily expect our floating batteries from Kinbourn, and
with their co-operation we hope to silence the Russian
batteries which prevent us from taking up our quarters
in Sebastopol."

The Constantinople correspondence of the Con-
stitutionnel, dated sth inst., states that considerable
alarm prevailed in that capital, in consequence of
a collision which had taken place the day before
between soldiers of the Tunisian contingent and
the French military post estallished in the building
of the University, now converted into an hospital.
After a scuffle, in which several of their comrades
were roughly handled by the French, the Tunisi-
ans, whose principal barrack is situate in the neigh-
bourhotxl, marched in a body to the hospital,
endeavouring on their way to excite the Turkeh

population against the French, and having drawn
up before the post they fired a general volley I *l'
into it, killing three men and wounding several I 4- 444
11. Farb
t 41 11
others. The French returned the fire, and six of
the assailants were killed and a number of others
wounded. The Ottoman troops in the meantime
interfered, and the Tunisians were brought back to
their quarters, where they were consigned. The
Seraskier and the Minister of Foreign Affairs im-
mediately repaired to the spot, at the head of an
imposing force, to restore order and ascertain the
cause of that aggression. On his side, General
Larchey sent thither a detachment of sixty men,
stationed at Pera, and gave orders to the troops em-
camped at Maslak to hold themselves in readiness
to march. Fortunately there was no necessity to
recur to that extreme measure, and all was over
when General Pariset arrived at the University.
At the request of the French Ambassador a strict
inquiry into the affair was instituted on the even-
ing of the 4th, and the Tunisian contingent, whose
deplorable fanaticism had already occasioned -vari-
ous affrays, was to be embarked for Asia.

SPAIN.

MADRID, Nov. 12.
A serious state of things has suddenly arisen at
Saragossa. The high price of provisions and ex-
portation of corn by the Ebro was the pretext ;
but it would appear that the movement is also of a
political character. Soon after the Cortes met to-
day, and when the routine business had been dis-
posed of, Senor Huelves, Minister of the Home
Department, read two telegraphic despatches from
Saragossa, the first of which stated that on
the afternoon of yesterday numerous groups cot-
lected and assumed a riotous attitude, declaring
their determination to prevent the departure of
several barques, which were going down the Ebro
laden with corn, and to burn them. The troops
and National Guards were called out, and the popu-
lace desisted from their intent. The authorities and
Corporation met, the latter declaring itself in per-
manent session. At a late hour of the night every-
thing seemed quiet. The second despatch, how-
ever, dated at 9 this morning, says that the crowd
had assembled again, that the generate was beating
for the order to form in battalions, and that th•
result was doubtful ; while another despatch, re-
ceived by the Government this afternoon, says that
General Gurrea, Captain-General of Arragon, is
not satisfied that the means at his disposal are
sufficient to repress the disturbance. After the
Home Minister had made these communications,
the Duke de la Victoria rose, and declared that
while the Government desired to promote and con-
solidate the liberty and welfare of the country
it was firmly determined to cause the laws to be re-
spected, and to chastise with rigour whoever opposed
them, however numerous they might be, or what-
ever mask they might assume, which declaration
produced considerable sensation. It is said that
among the cries given at Saragossa were some di-
rected against Senor Bruil and General O'Donnell.
The Cortes were afterwards occupied with the Con-
scription Bill, and subsequently with the debates
on the new Constitution : many articles of both
were carried.

The article which gave rise to the difference be-

tween Senor Olozaga-and the Ministry has been
modified by inserting in its place the corresponding
articles of the Constitution of 1837. Nothing more
has transpired respecting the question of Senor
Olozaga's resignation, which appears to remain in
statu quo, though many think that the necessity of
the case will cause matters to be amicably arranged

n the end. The Saragossa affair is considered vary

serious.

The funds are rather lower to-day. The Three
per Cents. were done, however, during Bolsa hours
at 34.30 ; and the Deferred at 20.20.

On Thursday last the Emigration Commissioners
chartered the ship Earl Grey, for the conveyance of °mi•
grants from Southampton to Geelong. The contract
price was 141. 16s. 6d. The Commissioners have also

advertised for a ship to convey emigrants to Melbourne.
—Australian and New Zealand Gazette.

The clipper ship White Star sailed from Melbourne on
the 30th of August, for Liverpool, She has on board 70
tons of copper ore from South Australia for Birming-

ham ; 1,000 bales of wool, rags, sheepskins, &c.; 85,195
ounces of gold dust, and 150 passengers.—Auseralian,
and New Zealand Gazette.
EMIGRATION FROM LIVERPOOL.—It has been stated in
a recent Liverpool paper that Government emigration
was about to cease from thence, and that the depot at
Birkenhead was to be given up. This is not the case, for
we are enabled to state that Mr. De Wolfe, the contrac-
tor, has renewed an engagement with the Emigration
Commissioners to provide accommodation and rations
for emigrants at that port until the 30th of June next.
We believe, however, that in consequence of the stop-
page of emigration from Ireland that the numbers likely
to embark from Birkenhead will be considerably re-
duced, and that in consequence the Commissioners have
had to submit to an increase in the contract price, which
is now at the rate of 3s. per diem, the former charge
having been 2s. only.—Australian and New Zealand
Gazette.
THE CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY AT HACZNEY.....
A numerous meeting was held at the Manor Assembly
rooms, Church-street on the 15th inst., to receive a
deputation from the Executive Committee, to explain
the plan of allotment of the recent valuable purchase of
an estate in that locality, to be allotted on the 22d inst.
The Lord Viscount Ranelagh presided, supported by a
deputation from the board, consisting of Colonel Knox,
M.P., H. Powaall, Esq., B. H. Adams, Esqs., C.
Grunerson, Esq. (the secretary), G. Morgan, Esq. (the
surveyor), Rev. T. W. 0. Goodshild (rector of Hackney),
the Rev. Dr. Hewlett, the Rev. Alex. Gordon, and some
of the principal residents of the neighbourhood. After
several addresses in explanation of the objects and suc-
cessful progress of the society plans of the Hackney
estate were exhibited, showingia division of the estate,
with nearly 200 lots of freehold land, varying in price
from 401. up to 4001., with building conditions well de•
signed to secure the erection of a class of houses to im-
prove as well as to accommodate the neighbourhood.
The estate adjoins the parish church of St. John, and is
close to the station of the North London Railway.

The treaty concerning copyright, concluded between
Prussia and Great Britain in June last, has been ratified
and officially published in Berlin and in London. This
treaty reposes on the same basis as those concluded by
the French Government with the majority of German
States.

A well-known member of the Prussian Chambers, M.
de Vincke, elected by the town of Hagen, has not ac-
cepted his nomination. The following explanations are
given by the Post A mpt Gazette of that step. A short
time after the election the King passed through Hagen,
where he met a very warm reception. He said on that
occasion--" This reception gives me the greatest plea-
sure, proceeding as it does from a town which has
elected as deputy to the Chamber one of my enemies."
These words determined M. de Vincke to resign.
A letter dated the 12th, in the Cologne Gazette, says:—
" M. de Prokesch is to visit London before going out
to Constantinople. He will proceed to the English
capital towards the end of next week. The Emperor
has given his approbation to the proposed reduction of
80 men per company in the 2d and 4th corps diarmee
now in Gallicia. That measure will effect a saving Of
eight millions of florins" (the florin is somewhat over
two francs).
TABLETS TO THE MEMORY OF THE LATE MARQUIS
OF LONDONDERRY AND LADY CATHERINZ STEWAIT.—
Yesterday two beautiful mural tablets were erected in
Newtownards Episcopal Church by the Most Noble the
Marquis of Londonderry, one in memory of his lamented
father, the other in remembrance of Lady Catherine
Stewart, daughter of John third Earl of Darnley, and
wife of General Sir Charles Stewart. The tablets are of
statuary marble, on a dove ground, and in the Grecian
style of architecture ; and we have no hesitation in ex-
pressing our conviction that they are among the very
finest specimens of designing and cutting which Belfast
talent has ever produced in the same department of art.
The marble is of remarkable purity, the lettering has
been cut with the most artistic accuracy and finish, and
the myrtle wreath which ornaments each tablet, and en-
closes an appropriate symbol of the departed—that of
the noble marquis exhibiting a sword and pen in
intimate uniorno,aubdth, itsofhatonly
Lady Catherine Stewart
displaying
flower falling to the
ground—furnishes an admirable illustration of
the advance which has recently been made in
artistic execution in our town. The tablet to the me-
mory of the late Marquis of Londonderry bears the fol-
lowing inscription :—" Sacred to the memory of Charles
-wm. Vane, third Marquis of Londonderry, 8.G., G.C.8.,
eight of St. George of Russia, Knight of the
Tower and Sword of Portugal, and Knight of the Sweiel
of Sweden. He was born 18th May, 1776, and died bib
March, 1854. His remains are interred in the family
vault of the Tempest family at Lang Newtown, in the
county of Durham. This tablet is placed here by his
son Frederick, fourth Marquis of Londonderry, A.D.
1855." It is due to the public to state that the tablets
are the production of Mr. Robinson, of York-street, in
whose yard they were elaborated from the rough block
into their present highly-finished and attractive form.
The Marquis of Londonderry, with a discrimination un-
happily seldom associated with the nobility of this
country, deemed it right and proper thus to patronise
native talent ; and we know we are expressing his feel-
ing when we state that the work has been completed in
a style highly creditable to the artists and satisfactory
o himself.—Belfa4 Eantter.
