FRANCE.

PARIS, SUNDAY EVMNING.
The Emperor yesterday gave a private audience
to Count de Hadik, aide-de-camp to the Archduke
Ferdinand Maximilian. The Emperor also re-
_Tived Count de Moltke, Minister of the King of
Denmark.

The subscriptions in France for the army of the
East now amount to 2,362,518 f.
English and French Government agents have
been entrusted with important missions to Cir-
cassia.

The latest accounts from Sebastopol state that it
was necessary for the Allies to keep up a constant
fire, on account of their proximity to the enemy.
Mehemet Bey, the Turkish Ambassador, had
the honour of being received by the Emperor yes-
terday, at the Tuileries, to present the letters ac-
crediting him to the French Government. His
Excellency, who was accompanied by all the staff
of the legation, addressed the Emperor, as follows:
"Sire,—Charged by his Imperial Majesty the Sultan,
my august master, with the mission of drawing closer
the reiations of friendship which have so long and so in-
timately united the two empires, I express to your Ina-
aerial Majesty the profound gratitude of my sovereign
►nd of my country, for the noble efforts which your
Majesty makes for the triumph of right, justice, and
.3ivilisation. In considering the high mission confided to
me by my august sovereign, I can only expect to be able
to fulfil it by the special kindness of your Imperial Ma-
jesty, and of which you have given us so many striking
proofs."

The Emperor made the following reply :

"You know, M. l'Ambassadeur, the interest which
I feel for the Sultan, and the efforts which I make with
England to defend the independence of his empire. I
lesire that Turkey shall be not only independent, but
.trong and powerful. As to the choice which has been
made to represent the Sultan, I am happy that it has
fallen on the son of a great man, who, on numerous
occasions, has rendered so many services to his country."

LETTER STRALING.—A respectably attired young man,
who gave the name of Henry Wilson, was placed at the
bar charged with stealing a letter containing money from
the General Post-office.

From the evidence it appeared that this morning, from
information received, the prisoner, who filled the office
of sorter in the Inland-office of the General Post-office,
was desired to attend at the private room of Mr. Boydon,
the inspector of letter-carriers, and was there charged
with stealing a letter containing money. The prisoner
did not deny the charge, but said he did not know the
letter contained money. The prisoner was this morning
occupied in sorting letters for the fifth division, and
Russell-square was in that division. [The letter stolen
bore the following address :—" Mr. C. Snewing, Russell-
square, London."] He ultimately received the
letter from the prisoner, which he now produced,
and it was precisely in the same state as when he
got it from him. The seal had not been broken.
The witness was here directed to open the let-
ter, and it was found to contain a sovereign wrapped in
wool, and placed in a card. The letter ought to have
been despatched in the ordinary course of business this
morning at half-past eight. _ .

Peake deposed be took the prisoner into custody this
morning at the General Post-office about eight o'clock,
and told him that he was charged with stealing a letter
addressed to Mr. Snewing. Upon which he said he
knew nothing about it. Upon asking him if he (Peake)
was to understand that he did not know the letter was
in his pocket, the prisoner answered yes.
The prisoner was fully committed for trial.

THE DANUBE.

A letter from Galatz of the 20th ult. says :--
" The Austrian commander of this town has re-
ceived despatches from Omer Pacha, and it is re-
ported that they announce the approaching arrival
of a Turkish garrison. Considerable activity is
remarked on the Lower Danube, both amongst the
Turks and Russians. Omer Pacha is strongly of
opinion that military operations ought to be com-
menced on the Prutb, and Ismail Pacha thinks so
too..- Dredging machines have, through the inter•

vention of the Austrians, been again placed at the
mouth of the Sulina. The port of Varna has been
enlarged and fortified, and can give shelter to yes.
sels of the line in stormy weather. The placing of
the submarine telegraph from Varna to Constan-
tinople is being rapidly carried on, and military
roads to Silistria and Rassowa are being made."

STRAND THEATRE.

If this elegant little theatre be the " least " in point
of dimensions among the metropolitan places of dramatic
entertainment, it certainly is not the " last " in public
estimation, nor the least deserving of success on the
grounds f managerial enterprise and skill, Conspi
cuous among other features of attraction to entice the
playgoer at the present season, is the performance of
some of the Spanish Dancers who lately formed a por-
tion of the renowned Haymarket troupe, of which Perea
Nena was'the central star. Tue dancing of Marcos
Diaz aad Anna Della Fuente is extremely popular, and
they are excellently aided by the clever and accom-
plished Madile. Julie and a well-drilled corps de ballet ;
but we have a daughter of Terpsichore naturalised
amongst u', who, on the score of genuine artistic talent,
is justly entitled to a higher rank than any of the vaunted
Spaniards. Such of our readers as may have been pre-
sent
at the Strand Theatre on last Saturday evening,
and beheld Madile. Auriol (Mrs. Flexmore) in La Ron•
dija, cannot but agree with us in awarding the palm in
her favour for vigour, aplomb, brilliancy, and accuracy
of execution. Showy, agile, and sparkling as was the
famous Perea, she was not comparable, to speak sin-
cerely, in sterling merit as a dancer, with Auriol, nor
possessed of such legitimate first-rate qualifications.
Auriol is a veritable mistress of her art, and her per-
formances deserve to be attentively studied by those
who desire to know what correct and elegant dancing
really is. Solid merit is entitled to more encouragement
than it is but too frequently apt to receive, and were the
public but more disposed to look at home, there would
be a less extravagant furore for exotic celebrities, and,
as in the ease of the distinguished danseuse whom we
have specified, a more marked appreciation of domestic
talent.

The Duke of Rutland is, we are gratified to learn, in
excellent health, and will, during the shooting season,
receive a select circle at his shooting box in Derbyshire.

not a club on the eve of R. great race but-would be affected
by the act of Parliament, not omitting the Gresham
where there was always to be found a "eprinkling of
alderman." The intention of the Legislature, by the
preambie cf the act, was to put down certain bating
houses kept for the profit of the occupiers. The act
stated, "whereas a kind of gaming," it did not say
all because the makers of the account were many of
them great gamblers thern,elves, and the subsequent
words of the third section stated, "that any person who,
being the owner or occupier of any house, office, room,
or other place, shall open, keep, or use the same for
the purposes hereinbefore mentioned, or either of
them, and shall knowingly, wilfully, and unlawfully
permit the same to be kept open, or used by
any person, &c." This he (Mr. Parry) con-
tended did not apply to the casual using
of the room, which would be a straining a penal statute
but to a permanent usury, and that it must be shown
that the occupier kept the place open for the purpose of
betting himself, or " betting with the resorters thereto."
Mr. Cooper had never made a bet, or derived any profit
from betting, neither had he any lists of horses in his
room. He hoped the bench would dismiss the case,
as not coming within the act.
Mr. Alderman Finnis, having retired to consider his
judgment, came into Court, and said he was of opinion
the charge came within the act, and he fined the defen-
dant 51.

Mr. Parry gave notice of appeal.
There were four other similar cases for hearing.

CITY OF LONDON ThEATRE.

The opera company continue their triumphant career.
Each new opera increases the attraction of this most
favoured establishment. Mr. Augustus Braham, Mr.
Leffler, Miss Rebecca Isaacs, and Miss Dyer are gaining
"golden opinions" from all sorts of people in the East.
The Spirit of Pantomime is hovering over this theatre,
whish is known as the house of call for pantomime. Mr.
Nelson Lee, the successful author of Christmas sports, is
certain to reserve for himself the best pantomime. 'We
und(-rstand the grand transformation will cost upwards
of 50e/. We know the pantomime has been in prepara-
tion since last July. There is no doubt this production
will stand A 1.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 3.—Now that winter has
set in, and with it inaction, the thoughts and
anxieties of all interested in the welfare of our
army in the East are diverted into fresh channels.
We no longer anticipate engagements, and strain
our hearing across the sullen Euxine to catch the
boom of the cannonade. Our present concern is
greater with the winter quarters and comforts pro-
vided for the soldier, and with other means taken
for the preservation of his physical health and im-
provement of his moral condition.

A vary considerable depot is forming at Scutari
and in its vicinity, where, within a few days from
this time, at least 12,000 men will be assembled to
be quartered there during the winter. The greater
part of the cavalry has already arrived, both from
Balaklava and from Eupatoria, and the rest is
coming down daily.
General Collingwood Dickson of Crimean fame,
has arrived here on his way to' Kertch, to take
command of the artillery of the Contingent.
A letter from Kinbourn, in the Presse cr Orient,
dated November 26, mentions the commencement
of severe cold. There is floating ice upon the sea,
and the vessels at anchor off Oczakoff are fringed
with icicles.

THE OVERLAND RUSSIAN TRADE.

The mercantile advices from the Russian ports con-
tinue to confirm the accounts of the great exertions
being made by Russia for the overland trade throughout
the winter. It is also stated that she is losing no oppor-
tunity of preparing at all points of her coast sach de-
fences as may be available against the apprehended at-
tacks next spring. According to one report 100 vessels
of various sizes had left Cronstadt after the departure of
the allied squadrons, and arrived safely at Sweaborg
with munitions of war and materials for the reconstruc-
tion of hospitals, barracks, &c. The early setting in of
frost and closing in of the navigation would, however,
prevent a repetition of the movement. In some of these
advices it is asserted that public opinion in Russia is
undergoing a singular alteration. The German Liberal
and the old Russian, or Conservative parties, are said to
be changing sides, the former now desiring a continu-
ance of the war in order that it may ultimately break
up the iniquitous and worse than Chinese system which
abuts out all possibility of progress, while the Musco-
vite aristocracy, seeing the defeat of their long-indulged
dreams of universal dominion and European slavery,
and fearing the loss of their serfs and the growth of new
ideas, are turning in favour of peace. These results, it is
observed, mereover, would have been extraordinarily
rapid but for the virtual alliance between Prussia
and Russia, and the consequent activity of the overland
traffic, which, while it prevents the immediate ruin of
the landed proprietors, serves also to enrich a new class
of the community by the constant employment of be-
tween 20,000 and 30,000 men and horses, besides an im-
mense quantity of river craft. It is affirmed on similar
grounds that the statements of the Russian manu-
facturers being crippled for want of raw material are all
incorrect, since as the export is greatly iu excess of the
import trade the return carriage is comparatively inex-
pensive, and foreign goods are thus brought into the
country at a rate not exceeding one-half of that which is
paid for the transportation of produce out of it, and
which, sometimes amounting on hemp and tallow to be-
tween 25 and 50 per cent. of their cost, has to be met
by the English consumer.

that the timbers and sleepers on the road are greatif

danger, parties avoid travelling on the lines, while per(i

MR. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-
street, has introduced an entirely new description of ARTI-
FICIAL TE gni, 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 roots, or any painful
operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth

THE WEATHER AT KERTOIL

A letter from Kertch of the 15th ult., in the Consti-
tutionnel, says The wind has been blowing heavily
from the eastward for the last 4 days, and has given us a
sudden transition from summer to winter. We have not,
however, been taken by surprise. All the French troops
encamped at St. Paul are well sheltered, but at Yenikale
the tents have not yet been replaced by wooden huts. This,
however, is an inconvenience which will not last long,
preparations having been already made to obviate it.
There is nothing new from the Sea of Azoff. We have
not yet heard of any casualties from the late gates, but
it is to be feared that many of the Austrian merchant
vessels in that sea will have suffered. A change has
taken place in the French vessels of war on this station
The Caton and the Fulton have left the Sea of Azoff and
been replaced by a bomb vessel, the Sesostris. Her two
formidable mortars are about to be brought to play OR
the Russian camp of Yenitche, which is out of the reach
of our heaviest guns, but which will not be so with the
monster mortars of the Sesostris. The enemy will soon
be disagreeably surprised by a visit from some of the
projectiles of this vessel, none of which have been used
in this part of the world.
d.The enemy has not made any
fresh movement in the eastern part of the Crimea. At
Kertch the town is closed by means of barricades placed
at the extremities of the streets leading into the open
country, and the western part of the place, which is open
to invasion, is about to be strongly fortified. A report is
current here that the Russians intend during the winter
making an attempt to recover their communications with
the coast of Asia. It is somewhat doubtful whether they
will hazard any attack against St. Paul, the approaches
to which have been rendered impregnable by the French,
but I think it not improbable that they may make a
attempt against Icartch, where they may hope to have
easier work against the Anglo-Turkish contingent. The
objecobrjeicy, wheh they
t of the Russians would be to destroy that place en.
tie
they abandoned it. m ux\c,lt regret h e
n it
is
consideredhaving
that done beforeKerte,
is a grand depot for provisions, it is not sufficiently gar-
risoned at present, although occupied by some regular
troops, and the famous contingent.

WOUNDING ♦ POUCH OFFICER.

- -----
George Tighe, 19, described as a dock labourer, was
charged with having, at Liverpool, on the 6th Novem-
ber, feloniously cut and stabbed Win. Lakewan, with in-
tent to do him grievous bodily harm. The prosecutor, a
policeman, saw the prisoner on the night in question
hanging about the premises of a Mr. Annan, an outfitter
in Oldhall-street, and trying to force an entrance. He
endeavoured to apprehend the prisoner, when the latter
stabbed him in the back and right hand, disabling him
so much that he fainted. The officer cried " Stop thief,"
and the prisoner was apprehended by another officer
while running away. Verdict, Guilty. The prisoner
had, since 1851, been twice convicted and sentenced to
18 months' imprisonment at the Liverpool sessions, and
19 times summarily convicted at the police courts. His
Lordship said it was high time to put a stop to such a
career, and sentenced the prisoner to 15 years' transpor-
tation. Prisoner : " Thank you, sir ; that's just what I
wanted." He was then removed.
