ber of addresses in favour of the Empire.

the
refusal of the Turkish Government to ratify
soue loan may be considered the leading topic of the
stirnals• The failure of the negotiations with the
French
would seem to have piqued parties in the
~ capital, the more so, as the fact of the first
Turkish loan opened in Europe having taken place
a. Paris had been a source of boasting in financial

alters.
That such loan now should be repudiated
the score of over-reaching, usurious charges causes
Lriene still greater degree of mortification. The recal of
Callimaki is official. The Pays, which on

SPAIN.

THE SUN,

Madrid journals and correspondence of the 21st
inst. have arrived. The Court had returned to
Madrid from an excursion to Ponton de la Oliva.
The Royal family had expressed themselves highly
satisfied with the works for bringing a fresh supply
of water to the capital : it is stated by the engineers
that they will be in Effective Operation within two
years and thus the want of water, from which the
inhabitants have often suffered, nill no longer be
felt.

The fortress of the Mole, at Mahon, was duly in-
augurated on the 10th inst. by the Captain-General
of the Baleric Isles, the Bishop of Minorca, and other
authorities, who arrived there on that day in the
Piles steamer. The Bishop performed service in the
church, round which the troops were drawn up, and
blessed the flag, which the Captain-general himself
pl&ced on the bulwarks, addressing the troops at the
same time. A general salute of 200 guns was then
tired ; the garrison had extra rations on the occasion;
and a substantial dinner was provided for 1,400
Isbourers, who had been working at the fortifications.
Toe new fortress is named after the Queen.

GERMANY.
The representatives of Bavaria, Saxony, Hesse
Cassel, and Hesse Darmstadt had already arrived in
Vienna, for the opening of the new customs confer-
ences, and the plenipotentiaries of the other Germany
Governmccts who have been invited, were expected
shortly. The conferences will probably commence
at the close of this month. The Minister for Foreign
Affairs is said to have given his full assent to the
political schedules drawn up in the trade department.
The system of the customs union, as contained in
the documents of 1849 and 1850, is to be so far modi-
fied that a customs union may be entered into with
all the German states which agree with the propo-
sition as early as the Ist January, 1854. The state-
ment that Austria has declared herself ready to con-
clude a customs union convention with the Darmstadt
allies, to guarantee to them the fixed amount of their
present customs revenues, and to open its own fron-
tiers on the lit January, 1854, is again brought for-
ward in a more decided form.
The intelligence announcing that the Prince Pre-
sident of the French Republic had resolved to accept
the Empire produced so profound a sensation in the
highest circles in Berlin, that all the Ministers who
were in the capital at the time immediately held a
Cabinet council, and dispatched a courier with all
haste to the King. His Majesty came to the capital
in the evening (of the 24th) accompanied by Baron
Mauteuffel, and a council was again assembled for the
purpose of definitively drawing up the instructions
which are to be given to Count Von Hatzfeld, his
4ajesty's Ambassador at Paris.
Intelligence has been received in Berlin from
Brunswick which is extremely vexatious to the Prus-
sian Zollverein. It appears that Brunswick has suf-
fered itself to be carried over to the side of Austria,
and that, like Hanover, it has determined to observe
an•expectant attitude. It is certain that Brunswick
has refused, up to this moment, to renew a customs
treaty with Prussia. It will send a plenipotentiary to
the conferences at Vienna—not to take part in the
discussions, but to be present there as a reporter.
It is talked of in Berlin to withdraw from circula-
tion the existing paper money, and to replace it by
another paper; for it is considered desirable that
there should he only one kind of paper money in cir-
culation. The change will probably be introduced

at the beginning of tae year.
Hamburgh has been visited last week by two
delegates from a wealthy and influential English com-
pany, who, in conjunction with some Dutch capita-
lists, have resolved to effect a desired railway com-
munication to Bremen, Oldenberg, Lur, Groningen,
Leuwarden, and Harlingen ; and thus to connect
Hamburgh by the shortest possible route to Holland,
and also to England. From Groningen a branch
line will be laid down from Zwulle to Utrecht, to
join the Netherlands Rhenish line, which latter con-
nects Rotterdam and Amsterdam.
The importance of the projected line (says the
Hamburgh Borsenhalle) to the whole of Northern
Germany and of Holland is so self-evident, that it is
scarcely necessary to name it. It is, therefore, per-
fectly natural that the said delegates received most
binding assurances from our public authorities to do
everything to forward the undertaking, similar pro-
mises have already been given by the Netherlands,
Oldenbergh, and Bremen authorities. It is much to
be wished that Hanover would act equally favourable
to the project, and that the concession asked for by
the company may be granted with as little delay as
possible.

euan account of it in a letter from our correspondent,

ay that it is hoped to do so by the aid of gifts and vo-

having emptied his private treasury he sent all his

iz;
.r and five or six of the richest pachas of the capital
have followed the example of the Sultan, and have offered
40 millions of piastres (14 millions of francs) each, and
fiend mpany of lour Armenian bankers have engaged to
will 40 millions of piastres at 6 per cent. These sums
du suffice to pay the drafts of the bank which have come

order to procure them certain receipts are calculated on,

e;ona the Paella of Egypt, to request which Moukter
10037 was sent to him on the 9th. M. de Lavalette, who
has taken up the defence of the loan very warmly in
support of the French interests engaged in the operation,
had had daily conferences with the Turkish Ministers on
the subject, but all his arguments were not sufficient to
convince them. The Turks will not have the loan. This
grave financial question has absorbed every other, and
for the last week every other affair had been suspended.
As soon as it shalt have been settled, the reorganisation
of the Cabinet will b© attended to. The Grand Vizir
appears decided on making numerous changes. The
persons destined to form part of the new Cabinet were
already spoken of, and among them were several men of
known talent. It is expected that the nominations will
be made between the 15th and 20th inst. Ismayl Pacha,
grandson of the famous Ali Pacha of Janina, has just
been named governor of the islands of the Ottoman

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.
POST-OFFICE ROBBERY.
Robert Gadsrnark, aged 28, a letter-carrier, plendcd
guilty to au indictment charging him with stealing a
post-office letter containing au order fur 51., the property
of the Postmaster-General.
Mr. Clarkson, who appeared for the prosecution' said
the prisoner formerly kept a receivicg-house at Wal-
worth, but it was removed from his shop in consequence
of his being unfortunate in business. He subsequently
applied to the Postmaster-General for employment, and
was engaged as assistant letter-carrier in Lambeth; and
it was while he was so employed that he stole the letter
containing the post-office order, which he succeeded in
getting cashed. He was sorry to add that this was not
the only offence of the same hind committed by the

prisoner.
The Chief Baron intimated that ho would postpone
passing sentence.

George Gregson, a gentlemanly-looking young man,
aged 23, described as a student, was charged with hav-
ing committed a rape on the person of it child aged 12
years, named Ann Hell, who lived in the house in which
he lodged.
Mr. Robinson conducted the prosecution, end Mr.
13aDentine defended the prisoner.
From the medical evidence it appeared that a disease
which the prisoner had upon him at the time he cern-
mitied the offence, had been communicated to the child.
The Jury retired to consider their verdict, and after
au absence of 20 minutes, returnt.l into court, when the
foreman announced that they sound the prisoner Gellty.
Sentence deferred.

WOODEV'S " CARPET BAG.'

- -

A deligh4ul entertainment is now being given nightly
by Mr. W. S. Woodin—a gentleman hitherto unknown
to any audience in the metropolis—at the charming
little theatre once popular as the " A elelaido Gallery,"
and recently frequeated ac the arena of the Marionettes.
As we had the gratification of ourselves witnessing on
Monday evening the skill of MT. Woodin, ce a caterer
to the public taste for amusement, we can speak authori-
tatively of his very genial humour and really surprising
abilities. Since the famous " Evenings at Home," of
good, wry-faced, limping, merry-conceited old Charles
Mathews, we have had nothing at all comparable to the
" Ceepet Bag end Sketch-Book" of our young Polypho-
fist. We say this without without rely disparagement
for Love—for Love is principally admirable for his mar-
vellous powers of ventriloquism. Love, for the most
part, surpasses others mainly by his astounding capacity
end ansfz'ng, edroitness in the more eccentric class of
vocal imiations. He will bring clearly before you every
el), that can to heard the fatm•yerd, as clearly as
ever could rogunini on that one miraculous string of
his sidle. Charles Lamb used to say of Menden, that
ho understood a leg of mutton in its quiddity." And
so may we say of Love, that he seems to have
penetrated re rally us Asop himself, the mysteries
of the language squeaked, grunted, chirped, hummed,
quacked, gabbled, lerrkel, or mewed, by the vari-
ous denia,nce of the enimel, the bird, or the ineect
kingdons. He will g:ve you a bee in a bottle as
you might fancy could only be done by a bee in a bottle
itself. He will describe the whole of a tight between a
couple of dogs—fierce, fast, and furious—until you shall
really begin to have serious thoughts about hydrophobia.
It is in this way that Love continues, to eve mind, alto-
gether to this moment unrivallee, But Woodia's talents
are of a totally different character. He dcas entirely
what Love attempts only, so to speak, incidentally.
He represents in his own person a whole mob of imagi-
nary personages. One feels inclined to read the Riot Act
to him, as Sir Walter Scott seid he felt disposed to do
when he first listened to Alexandre. Never was such a
Proteus! Captain Absolute was nothing to him. lad
as for Cerherus—here is a head that seems to be multi-
plied, not by three, but thirty. Mr. Woodin possesses,
in truth, a flexibility in the features and an adaptability
in the organs of erticulation, that must prove to every
visitor to his entertainment, matter for absolute astonish-

We should like much to know the opinion enter-
ained in regard to his bumps of imitation by some
practised phrenologist. The very character of
these entertainments et the Marionette's Theatre
is siogolarly clover, and distengteshed, moreover, by the
somewhat rare merits of being both novel and diversificl.
Uron one side of the stage is the customary desk and
lamps of a lecturer. Opposite these there is propped up
against the wall a gigantic carpet bag, such as ono might
expect our old friend Blunderbore would carry, supposing
he should aver take it into his head to pay a visit to his
cousins in the land of Brobdignag. In the back ground,
or, as they say in the prompter's books, in the flat ap-
pears a sketch-boob of correspondingly vast dimensions,
Furnished with these accessories, Mr. Woodin talks to
his audience pleasantly over the top of the desk, telling
them all sorts of queer anecdotes—especially that one of
the speculator, who was driven by untoward circuta-
stances to be at once " money-taker " and " concert 't—
end flings at tho heads of his hearers from between the
two lamps as many quips, cranks, and puns, as M.
Robert Houdin used to toss out of his hat showers of
toys, flowers, and bonbons. The puns, in particslar,
were pelted at us unmercifully on Monday night—some
of them, too, so excruciatingly good or (which is rretty
much the same thing) so deliciously execrable! Thr)ugh-
out the evening, moreover, the magic stetah-
book in the back ground was continually dis-
closing a new picture of some old familiar spot in or near
the metropolis—showing sometimes really very rceritoi:-
ons powers on the part of Mr. Woodin as an artist,
powers more particularly visible, we may remark, in the
paintings of the Tower of London and of the Hospital
at Greenwich, of One Tree Hill, and of the view at Rich-
mond. Besides all this—rather, w© should say, immea-
surably beyond all this—there aro the vocal end visual
illustrations or impersonations, which constitute the chief
delight of the entertainment. Under new names, we
meet with a store of old acquaintances, Tiere is the
servant of all work, Martha Mivias. who )as (we are
sure of it) lineally descended from Miss Migga, being,
moreover, a blood relation (we are °Peal)) of Suran
Nipper. Then there is Sir L'oejamin Bangle, with Las
capital stories, the point of which he cover can reaolket,
any more than the gentlemen in cloth too:s, who split
the evening at Bob Sawyer's lodgings it Lent-street,
mentioned towards the close of the histoaan's narrative
of the career of the immortal Pickwick. As to Major
Bluster, who is never to Fa humbuggcl PS an old tra-
venal., lie is unquestionably a brother in arms of Arthur
O'Leary, if he has not ham a'so on bowleg t -rms with
both Major Bagstork and T.Aajor. Pendeinis. No doubt,
again, that Mr. Sampson Rusty has diccd before now,
ripping wine and cracking walnuts, with that LJne.st old
drysalter, Ephraim Herdcastle. Little Mrs. Muddle', also,
wonderful little Mrs,. Muddle, must, ,e would wager,
traae her genealogy on one tide to the flaiily of Miss
Mowcher, of corn-cutting renost 11, and on the other to
that of worthy Mrs. Jarley, of wax•worh celebr'ty. ran
Binnacle is, in another way, a very aca3rate copy horn
one of those genuine old of iginals," rho Greenwich
pensioners. But what shall we say, waist can we pos-
sibly say, of the oldest inhabitant—good, gentle, bene-
volent Mr. Oliver Olds,yle? What--but that it is a
creation, and a very beautiful one, moreover. The song
sung by Mr. Woodin in this character is charmingly
clever, and we doubt not must command a wide and
lasting popularity. With these materials, and an operatic
illustration, the first part of the entertainment is brought
to a conclusion--the operatic illustration, by the way,
being (although with several capital hits in it) rather
too much of an extravagance. In the second and cora
eluding part, we learn, through a hamoarous ditty—
admitting, notwithstanding, its drollery of some judici-
ous curtailment—ell about the sorrows End calamities
befalling Mr. Tobias Traddles (no relation of Tom) on
the occasion of his visit to the metropolis, to see the
Great Exhibition. Other "country COLISite aro as-
tonished atter a different fashion, by a comic beef-eater
at the Tower, spoken of in the programme, as " a well-
known personage." Added to these impersonations, we
have a capital specimen of a S-otchmen, in Sandie
MtWhittle—trollng off among other things with the
" butt," the whole of Macbeth's soliloquy. Then there
comes a full-length portrait of a Yankee elippr, true to
to the life; and then of Mr. Cavil, quite es true; and yet
others in the fat ma of Mr. and Mrr. Lapsus Linger—the
latter always having slips of the tongue (even in stoging)
and the former living entirely in the midst of the event,s,
of the reign of
Cromwell. And so with " vocal and visual,,
accounts of the pleasures of a picnic, the "Carpet Hag
and tho Sketch Book" are both shut up by the entsrunner,
who is anything bat shut up
himself,seeing that thereupon
crowns his very singular performance by wonderfully
admirable imitations of the Lions of London—speaking
identical
manner with the exact voice, and the
manner of Albert Smitlaand Henry Russell, and Wright,.
and Compton, end Buckstono. A pleasanter entertain-
ment we don't know of, at this moment, any-
where in London or Westminster. Its merits will soon,
we doubt not, become more generally appreciated. The
" Carpet Bag" must, indeed, in the COWS() of things, ex-
tend its popularity, and, by so doing, tend to establish
Mr. W. S. Woodin's reputation.

THE LATE TOTNES ELECTION.

TO THE EDITOR Of THE FM

Snt,—l perceive there is lit paragraph in your paper
of Saturday refer ;log to the late Totnes Election, taken

rity on such matters). It is true that Lord Seymour was

towards the latter gen'leman (who had been for years
the baloved minister of Bridgetown Church and conec
quently cart fed his whole fli ik with him). It is cut _her

Er. T. A. HANKEY, in vcending the resolution, re-

the proposed alteration to the committc 3. He certrinly
could not take the dictum utterel by Er. Sidney es a

No. CCCXXXV.

YESTERDAY'S RACING AT NEWMARKET,
WITH THE FIELDS FOR TO-MORROW.

In weather the most unpropitious, and on ground the
most sodden, was decided the great race of the meeting
yesterday. The racing commenced with the 501 Plate
for two-years-old and upward!, over the last three miles
of the B. C. Morning Star, with Evening Star, Tickton,
and Maria, in close contiguity, raced to the Duke's
Stand, where all had had enough but Maria and Tickton;
and was ed 5
the latter then took a slight lead,
who, however,c hallen
had nogt theo
yards from home by Maria,
shadow of a chance, for Tickton went pest the post pull-
ing double, although winning by only a neck. Morning
Star was beaten nearly a score of lengths; and, Waver-
ley lost the third place by something like halt-a-dczen
lengths more. The remainder, including Evening Star,
Petri!, and the Assault colt, unable to move in the dirt,
were left far behind. The winner's easy victory found
him a new owner at 300 guineas, which, I tancy, he is

well worth.
In the race for the 10 SON'S. SIVC;epSteISEE over the Cri-
toion course, Oid Rowiey cut out the work until halt-
wa,y up the cords, where Guy 11,nnering took the lead,
and won cleverly by half a length; Woccildna
ffnishing
a good third and la4t.
The great race of the day next came on for decision,
and 31 competitors camp to the post to aiuggle for
superiority, no less than a dozen finding backer. in the
ring. They got off well together at the first attempt,
and ran, in a compact Cody, to within 100 yards of the
Duke's Stand, without any toiling of consequence having
taken place. This was too result of the badness of the
pace. At this point, however, it commenced with a
vengeance, the held being, in a very little time, scattered
all over the course. Just before reaching the Duke's
Stand, Hobbie Noble, clearing his horses, took a-head
of two lengths, which be maintained for a short distance,
when the Knight of the Shire, who bad been running
very forward, came out, passed him in a few strides,
went on by himself, and won with great ease by a couple
of lengths ; Hobbies Noble beating Lady Evelyn, who
had been gradually drawing to the front for the last dis-
tance, by a length and a half. Babette was a good
fourth, a short half length dividing her end the
Lady ; Herbert an indifferent fifth. Azael, Weather-
gage, and Convulsion, had not the least chance,
the state of the ground having disposed of them
early. The pace, as might naturally be expected, was
bad; time, 2 min. 14 sec. Messrs. Payne, Greville, and
others connected with the winner's stable, win good
stakes. A portion of the aristocratic body likewise
throw in. Bookmakers, for the most part, are said to
be losere.
As many persons may have backed horses after they
were scratched, it may be useful to know the time when
they were struck out. At midnight, on Sunday, the for-
feit list was composed of the following names :—Her-
nandez, Ariosto, Officious, Harbinger, Chief Baron
Nicholson, Adine, Flirt, Lady Amyott, Young Trouble-
some, Scarecrow, La Gartza Ladra, Cavan, Ammonia,
Dollond, Longinus, and Turmus. Previous to the read-
ing of the list on Monday evening, the following were
the additional scratchings :—Glauca, Stilton, Neasham,
Hungerford, King of Trumps, Hothorpe, Ringleader,
The Italian, Musician, Old English Oak, Athena Pallas,
Butterfly, Bit of Blue, Lindrick, Billy Bar, Plot, Tested,
Henrietta, Rachetee, Cotton Lady, Termagant,Dividend,
Jessica, Cornelius, and Madeline. Between that time
and midnight Teddington, Truth, Allegro, Proctor,
Sally, Warfoot colt, King Pepin, and Kate, were also
added to the doleful list.
Yesterday morning, Eliza Middleton, Grey Tommy,
Miniature filly, High Sheriff, Miss Fanny, Lancaster,
Follow-me-Lads, Puritan, and Isabella, were the last
batch of unfortunates. The remainder were left in the
finale.
A fine race between Janina, Heroine, and Ploughboy,
for the 10 soya. Stakes, over the last half of the Ab. M.,
terminated in favour of the first named, by only a head;
Heroine beating Ploughboy a short length for second
place, Lady Speedy a good fourth, and Needle fifth.
The Anonymous Letter and La hotline ran very stale.
Sextus ran away with another Sweepstakes of 10
sovs., over the same course as the previous race, beating
his only opponent, Vest, by three lengths.
The D.M, Selling Handicap Sweepstakes was likewise
a one-sided affair, Faux-pas waiting upon Presto into
the cords, and winning, when called upon, very easily
by two lengths.
The 15 sows. Handicap, over the T.Y.C., was won in
the most off-hand style imaginable, by Child-of-the-
Mist; Dividend beating Knavery a length for scz,ond
place. The others wore stalled off.
The D.I. Handicap Plate brought the day's sport to a
conclusion. They backed Cariboo against the field for
this race, but the dirt most effectually settled him before
they had run half the distance; Larry Wheat winning
by a length, Ilex obtaining second place. Cariboo,
Black Doctor, and Houlakin were somewhere or other I
presume, but certainly not within range of my optics.
The field for the Glasgow Stakes to-morrow will not
have more than three starters at the outside, namely,
Speed-the-Plough, West Australian, and Filbert; but
it is not unlikely that the Stakes will terminate in a
compromise and walk over. If it produces a race
Speed-the-Plough will, of course, beat West Australia,
and the latter do the like for Filbert.
The 50 sow. Sweepstakes over the Ab. M. will be
contested by Glenavon, Nicotine, one of Lord Exeter's,
and Pharold. Sylphine does not run. The first and
second places will be filled by GLENATON—Whom the
present state of the ground suits—and NICTORINE.
Angelo, the Conspiracy Filly, Sittingbourne, and
Knight of the Garter will, 1 believe, run their respective
matches.
My digest of the Nursery Stakes will appear to-
morrow.
