GREAT NEWCASTLE FIRE !-MILNERS'
.lIOLDF AS T" and FIRE-RESISTING SAFES, with 'Mi-
ners' New Patent Gunpowder Proof Locks. The strongest, best,
and cheapest safeguar.'s in the world against Fire, Robbery, or
violence.

The late featild explosiol and wiee-sprea 1 devastating Fire at
Gateshead and Newcastle, destroyed property of the value of one
million, converting a lare alea warehouses (filled with sulphur,
nitrate of soda, peat charcoa7, and Whet* highly combustible stores),
whole stacks or ofPees, house'=, &c., into a perfect volcano of fierce,
concentrated, inc'nera. tig, and 10-ig-enduring furnace heat, in which
not only combustible ninqs, but even brcss, stones, and iron were
burnt up and fared. Sacs of the ordinary kind, iron doo-ed strong
rooms, were abLe melted, torn asunder, their contents charred and
destroyed. But amongst the many instances of preserve !on, Thomas
Milner and Son have pleasure in giving publicity to the following
gratifying testimonial:—

" Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Oct. 19, 1854

"Gentlemen,—We have great pleasure in stating that. whilst our
offices were comple'ely destroyed and burnt down in the great fire
which, on the 6th inst., reduced a great many bugoings in Newcastle-
upon-Tyne arid Gateshead to ashes, two of your large Ifoldfast'
Safes, in our offices, have been the means of preserving our books,
hills, and other valuable documents; although these safes were ex-
posed for about Wile to *en hours to an immense heat, and dug out of
the ruins in a red-hot state. On opening them we found our princi-
pal books and hills in a good state of preservation. Some of the
papers were singed and discoloured, but we are happy to say they

he used for the main purpose they were intended for. We feel it
our duty to state these facts, and will thank you to make us new
sales to specificafloo.—We are, gentlemen, yours truly,

peror Francis Joseph and his Ministers. But all
this is .mere puerile conjecture, and based upon
not one solid, or reasonable argument. The para-
mount interests of Austria imperatively demand
that her policy in the solution of the Oriental
question go hand-in-hand with the Western
Powers. Herein you have the simple key to all the
apparent m)stery of their " perfect coincidence of
views with the West." And, for the hundredth
time, permit me to assure your readers that the
Emperor Francis Joseph and his Ministers hete
nothing but the honour and welfare of the empire
at heart, and will consequently pursue no other
policy, in respect of the Eastern complication, than
that which has become traditional in this country,
and which can alone promote its best -interests.
For the benefit of all sceptics, let me add that, if
even a perfect angel were to sit on the throne of
the Czars, this would not in any one iota change
the policy of Austria as regards its interests in the
East.

THE -WAR IN ASIA.

The Invatide Busse publishes the following :
" After. theii defeat on the 16th of June, 1854,
on the Tcholok • the Turks were compelled to re-
main on the defensive on the frontiers of Gou-
riel and they had. formed. near the villages
of Leghvy aid Okhtchamoury two intrenclied
camps occupied by their advanced detachments, t•
the number of 2,000 men in each camp. On the
night between the 18th and 19th of January last
(30-31st) the head cf the Gouriel Militia, Captain
Prince Gouriel, attacked the Turkish camps with
great.success. Crossing the frontier near the bridge
of Tcholok, he advanced rapidly on Leghvy, and
vigorously charged the Turks, who advanced to
meet him. ,

" Notwithstanding their numerical superiority
the enemy were beaten. The Militia pursued them
into their camp, which they destroyed, after driving
out the Turks.

" Meantime the Turkish troops who occupied
the camp at Okhtchamoury advanced to the sup-
port of those at Leghvy, but on the road they
were met by a division of the Gouriel Militia, un-
der Ensign David Djokeli, who, after a lengthened
skirmish, defeated them.
" On the first shots being fired at Leghvy the
inhabitants of the neighbouring village of Gouriel,
led by the assessor of the Matchavariaui College,
chief of-Ozourgheti, and by Princ) Tardgberidz6,
chief of the canton of Gouriel, hastened to take
part in the combat. Their readiness is a proof of
the good will of the frontier population.

" The los:3 of the Tarlis in this affair was consi-
derable.
" On our side we bad 4 men killed and 30
woundA."

under his personal command, moved rapidly forwards,
Tbayonetting the Zouaves and Marines who endeavoured
to repel their onset. The struggle lasted long, but the
Russian bayonet triumphed over the firmness of the
I enemy, who fled in disorder to his trenches.
4 In the meantime, Colonel Sebaschinsky, with the Ist
battalion of the Selenghinsk Regiment entrusted to his
command, issued from behind the right face of the re-
doubt, and rapidly advanced to help his companions in
arms. The 4th company of Grenadiers, the 10th com-
pany and a platoon of the 11th company of musketeers
from the Volhynian Regiment joined him, under the
command of Colonel Svistchevsky. These troops
dashed; with beat of drum, along the Sappers' way ; and
while seeking, in the dark, the Volhynians, who were
engaged with the enemy, they fell in with a French
column, that was marching in haste to succour the
Zouaves, and overthrew it into the ravine, under the
fire of our batteries and steamers.
Twice the enemy endeavoured to return to the attack,
but was driven back each time with loss to his trencher.
At last, after an hour's fighting with the bayonet, during
which time the _Russian drummers had not ceased beat-
ing the charge, the enemy was compelled to retire finally,
leaving in our hands more than a hundred dead, eight of
whom were officers ; our troor, moreover, took twenty-
four prisoners, five of them officers. The enemy has lost
in all no less than 600 men, as during his retreat he was
exposed to the heavy fire of the neighbouring bastions,
and the steamers Vladimir, Chersonesus, and Grome-
nossets, lying in the roadstead.
On our side we had 65 killed, 5 subaltern officers, and
236 private wounded.

RUSSIA.

The following is the address, delivered by the
Emperor Alexander IL, to the diplomatic corps
on the 7th, and a summary of which has already
appeared in The Sun :
," I am persuaded, gentlemen, that all your
courts feelsincere sorrow at the misfortune which
has befallen us. I have already received proofs of
it from all sides ; they have greatly moved me,
and I stated yesterday to the Ministers of Prussia
and Austria how much I appreciated them. I so-
lemnly declare here before you, gentlemen, that I
remain faithful to all the sentiments of my father,
and that I will persevere in the line of political
principles which served as a rule to my uncle, the
Emperor Alexander, and to my father.. These prin-
ciples are those of the Holy Alliance. But if
that Alliance no longer exists, it is certainly
not the fault of my father. His intentions were
always upright and loyal, and, if recently they ,
were misunderstood by some persons, I do not doubt
that God -and history will do him justice. lam
ready to contribute to a good understanding, on
the conditions which be accepted. Like him I de-
sire peace, and wish to see the evils of war termi-
nated ; but if the conferences which are about to
open at Vienna do not lead to a result honourable
for us, then, gentlemen, at the head of my faithful
Russia, I will combat with- the whole nation, and
I will perish sooner than yield. As to my personal
sentiments for your sovereign (here the Emperor
addressed Baron de Werther Minister of Prussia),
they have not varied. I have never doubted of
the fraternal affection and friendship which his
Majesty the King always had for my father, and I
told you yesterday how grateful I am to him for it.
I am deeply sensible of the kind words which the
Emperor has caused to be transmitted to me on
this occasion. (This was addressed to Couut Ester-
hazy, Minister of Austria.) His Majesty cannot

STRICTURE of the URETHRA: : its Rational
Treatment and Prompt Cure.
By F B. COURTENAY,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of Englind.
" We belleve_Mr. Courtenay's experience in the treatment of stric-
ture durin; the last twenty yens has equal', d, if, indeed, it has not
surpassed, that of any of his contempora-ies. It is, therefore, no
matter of surprise that he should enjoy the'reputation of being a
most dexterous nod skilful manipti ater with urethral instruments ;
and when it is remerrbered that the lamrnted Liston use., to assert
that the introduction/ of instruments through a stricture which had
previously been ins oermettbe to them, was the most difficult in the
whole range of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of
aratificationo,4 Mr. 'ourtenay's part to have achieved the reputation
be has in till!, res sect ; and for our part, will, the knowledge we have.
of his experience, we know of uo man to whose care w, Ironic' with.

placed by Indian sepoys. In Bombay there are the 10th
Hussars, the Bth and 86th Regiments, which could ho
easily spared. Bengal has two reginieuts of cava'ry,
14 full regiments of infantry, besides the Ist battalion of
the 60th Rifles, and nine battalions of foot artillery, out
of which an expeditionary force of 1,500 sabres, 6,000
infantry, and 55 guns, might be formed with the greatest
ease; the whole making a total of more than 20,000
European soldiers, able to compete with the flower of
the British army in Turkey.
We have eight regiments of Madras Light Cavalry,
not a man of whom has a' chance of seeing service in the
field, except out of the Presidency. At least 5-6ths of
them are Mussulmans, and it may be readily concluded
that they would willingly obey an order to embark for
the seat of war. Out of the eighteen regiments of Irre-
gular Cavalry in Bengal, a large number might be de-
clared available ; and if we could only have a man like
Major Fytche placed in the military command of Pegue,
and insure his prolonged existence, we could hold that
province with the aid at least of a single European regi-
ment, add a couple of Sepoy baValions-. But there are
men enough to be gleaned from the ,four presidencies,
and we are inclined to think that the highest authorities
intend toilet them go for wArd. The Delhi Gazette speaks
of rumoured movements of several Queen's regiments to-
wards the coast, and it will square well with the policy
of Lord Dalhousie to denude India of European troops.
He is anxious that the world at home should believe that
the country is tranquil from love of British rule, and
may be safely trasted to the defence of the native army.
We sincerely hope tbat the event may flatter his self-
love, and give aid to our gallant countrymen.
How much might be done in furbishing acisistance to
the medical department from India is a subject which
we must reserve for a future occasion, and with regard
to which we invite suggestions from our readers.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.— The difficulty hitherto ex-
perienced with the compass in iron ships has been suc-
cessfully removed by a discovery of Mr. J. M. Hyde, of
the Cumberland ironworks, Bristol, who has been for
the last 10 years engaged in the investigation of this im-
portant subject. There is now, and has been for some
time past, trading between Liverpool and Bristol a
screw-steamer called the Athlete, built by Mmrs. J. M.
Hyde and Co., having no practical error in the compass,
and therefore requiring no permanent magnets for cor-
rection. This desideratum has been accomplished in the
constriction of the ship, the arrangement being such
placid in a neutral position, where that the compass is
the magnetism of the iron in the after end of the ship is
balance I. If this be true—and our information comes
from a reliable source—then Mr. Hyde has accomplished
an improvement the importance of which it would be
difficult to overrate. The numerous and lamentable
errors said to have occurred through compass errors is a
sufficient reason why this discovery should be thoroughly
investigated for the benefit of that large and increasing
interest—iron shipping. The Athlete, we understand,
is open to the inspection of practical and scientific men
when on berth at Liverpool or Bristol,

Louvre, Rue de Rivoli, Paris, to be butilt on the site of

THE COVENT-GARDEN PANTOMIME.-IVe aro informed
that the olden fame of Covent-Garden Theatre for panto-
mimic display is likely to be resuscitated this Christmas
by the efforts now making by Mr. Anderson for the pro-
duction of his magic pantomime. The peculiar resources
of the house, as regards extent of stage, perfection of
machinery, costly wardrobes, and expensive properties,
are all to be brought to bear on the new entertainment.
The stirring events 'of the day are to be touched upon in
scenes and tableaux, which, if we are rightly informed,
will be of a very costly and gorgeous character. On
Tuesday, Dec. 11, Mr. Anderson accomplishes the 100th
night of his per.".ances at the Lyceaum, and has pro-
mised ae ntraordinary entertainment for the occasion.

KERTCH.

A Marseilles despatch mentions the report that
General Vivian bad asked and obtained from the
Ottoman Government a reinforcement of 12,000
Turkish soldiers. The reason assigned for this aug-
mentation—the expectation that the Russians will
act against Kertch as soon as the Sea of Azoff is
frozen up—may have more reality about it than
the pretended fact. The despatch of a body of
cavalry from the Bosphorus to Kertch was about
ten days ago announced from Trieste and Mar-
seilles as having taken place, in compliance with
the urgent entreaties of General Vivian, who was
said to be apprehensive of an attack. Letters from
Constantinople, received in town yesterday, state
that so far from this being the case, the cavalry
were on arriving at Kertch sent back, and arrived
once more in the Bosphorus on the 22d.
