Besides the advance of Marshal PELISSIER and
the movement of Sir COLIN CAMPBELL and his
division from Enpatoria, we learn that General
VALLONVIILE occupied positions commanding the
road to Perekop, so as to be able to cut off the re-
treating army from the isthmus, in the event of their
being driven from their camp on the Belbek, and
being°3l23Pelled to retire from Simpheropol. This is
as it should be. It is what we have so frequently
urged on the attention of ail parties concerned,
the Government at home and the Generals abroad.
It will, indeed, inflict
a formidable and probably
an irreparable blow on the

LITERATVIk;E.

The Zoist.
"Reichenbach and his Researalies" is centinuA&
the present instalment concluding a lucid abstract
of the first section and first volume of his remark-
able work on the "Laws of Sensitiveness." "Ex,
tatics of Genius."—Under this head we have au
able and interesting pap,:r, the fifth of a series, by
J. W. Jackson, Esq., Edinburgh, the subject beinsz
that celebrated historical personage "Joan of Arc,'
whose character has been so little understood.
From certain autobiographical notices furnished
from MSS. in the Royal Library at Paris, the
writer has derived convincing proof that Joan was
a seeress from her youth. The quotation in sup.
port of this is sufficiently remarkable, and on a,
perusal of Mr. Jackson's paper many will be dig,.
posed to concur with him in thinking that, "co-n.
templated as a lucide, her every thought And
achievement is perfectly and easily explicable, and
her whole life constitutes but a beautiful episode in.
the history of interior illumination, while without
it she seems but like an unaccountable and meteoric
manifestation sent to dazzle and blind, not en-
lighten." Among a number of interesting contri-
butions may be noticed those in which cures by the
agtoticy of mesmerism are recorded. These are of
an extraordinary nature, the diseases for which
the parties were mesmerised being generally ex-
ceedingly difficult to treat successfully by ordinary
methods—delirium tremens, for example, the cure
by mesmerism, after opium had failed, of a severe
case of this frightful disease being communicated.
by Dr. Elliotson, under whose superintendence it
was effected. The remainder of the number is de-
voted to the vindication and exposition of cerebral
physiology and mesmerism—an elaborate "Phreno-
logical Examination of Marshal Radetzky," byDL,
Castle, contributing to the former.

AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, Oct. 9.—The Wiener Zeitung yesterday
gave a detailed account of the receipts of the Em-
pire of Austria during the first half of the year
1855. The total amount was 123,802,8151 In
1854 it was 118,547,2401 ; and in 1853,
115,016,001f1.

A politician of great acumen, who to-day spoke
on the subject of the Danubian Principalities, gave
four good reasons why Austria should not desire to
possess them. They were the following :-1. The
Austrian frontier towards Russia is already too
long, as has very recently been seen. 2. As Austria
is endeavouring to form the numerous races inhabit-
ing the Empire into one great and civilised nation,
she would materially increase the difficulty
of her undertaking if she had anything to do with
Moldavia and Wallachia, which are inhabited
by Romance, Sclaves, Greeks, and Gypsies. 3.
Vienna, the seat of Government, is at an enormous
distance from Jassy and Bucharest. 4. If the Danu-
bian Principalities belonged to Austria she would
always be obliged to keep a large army in them
in order to secure herself against any attack
on the part of Russia. A fifth reason which might
have been given is, that Austria has enough to do
with its Italian and Hungarian provinces, without
having to look after a little army of Boyards, which
would never cease to plot against her.

GERMANY.
A letter in the Independence Beige states that M.
Bunsen has been returned by the electors of Mag-
deburg as Deputy to the Prussian Chamber. It is
doubtful whether M. Bunsen will accept the nomi-
nation, as he had declined every request to become
a candidate ou account of ill health. The litdepen-
dance adds :

" His election is not less significative, under present
circumstances. Recollecting the motives that led to M.
Bunsen's recall from the English Embassy in 1854, his
nomination denotes a feeling favourable to the policy of
the Western Powers."

GUILDHALL.

SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A CITY CONTRACTOR.—
Frederick Oollingwood, butcher, of High-street, Isling-
ton, was summoned before Mr. Alderman Sidney for
supplying unwholesome meat to Newgate prison.
Mr. Cope, the governor of the prison, deposed that
the defendant had the contract for supplying the city
prisons up to March next. On Saturday last the de-
fendant's man delivered a quantity of meat at Newgate
prison, consisting of different pieces of beef. The cook
directed his attention to two of the pieces of beef, and
he saw that in each piece a hole had been cut, into
which had been placed three pieces of mutton ; two
of the pieces of mutton stunk, and the other piece had
maggots in it.
By Mr. Alderman Sidney—Complaint had been made
to the defendant for sending bad meat on a former occa-
sion. Meat could be bougut now at the price defendant
contracted for.

By Mr. Collingwood—The beef was very good.
Mr. Collingwood—The bad meat was put in by men
without my knowledge or consent.
Benjamin Sidman, cook at Newgate, deposed to his
directing the governor's attention to the meat. The
beef was very good, and the bad meat could only be
seen on turning the beef over.
Mr. Alderman Sidney said there had been complaints
made by the governor for the last soc weeks of the bad
meat sent into the prison. It was impossible for him to
say what the contractor's motives were for sending in
such meat.

Mr. Robert Pocklington, inspector of Newgate-
market, described the meat, and the state it was in. The
defendant is a great low by the contract. He received
but es. a stone for the meat.

Mr. Cope said there was on an average 500 prisoners
in the city prisons, and as they are allowed 3lbs, of meat
a week, 1,5001b5. of meat would be required to supply
them.
Mr. Collingwood said he cut the meat sent into New-
gate prison on Saturday himself, but the men who took
it had suddenly left him this morning, and he was un-
able to say how the bad meat got into the beef. It was
true he was losing by the contract, but he intended to
fulfil it honestly. It was not worth his while to attempt
such a fraud as this.

Alderman Sidney said, if it was not the defendant's
motive to send meat to disgust the magistrates, and induce
them to break the contract, he must satisfy him he was
not cognizant of the state of this meat when it left
his house, or it would be his duty to commit him.
The case was ultimately adjourned on the defendant
entering into recognizances to give him an opportunity
of producing his men to show the bad meat was not put
into the beef before it left his premises,

MR. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-
street, has introduced an entirely new clesc, iption of ARTI-
FICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to he 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
rendered sound and useful in mastication.-52, Fleet-street. At

THE SUNS LONDON, THURSDAY

opposes Richcraft, for she appears -with chopper in band,
ready to insert the same gentle instrument into his
skull ; but ultimately she precipitates the adventurer
through a trap to the bottom of the tower. Richcraft
revives, and by treachery, aided by his retainers, he in-
duces Finetta to descend in the basket, and she falls into
his power on false intelligence having been conveyed to
her. Richcraft determines to roll her down a steep
rock in a barrel in the inside of which are little spikes ;
but fearing there may not be sufficient of these "re-
minders," he boldly places himself in the barrel, and the
Princess Finetta, with appropriate discretion, seeing her
hated suitor is comfortably ensconced in the barrel, ap-
plies her physical powers, and the barrel, with its disre-
putable load, roils down the steep rook. He is subse-
quently pulled up, senseless, by his attendants, and in
his delirium conceives plans for the fulfilment of his
vengeance. The King returns home ; but on his way
to the war, it appears he and his warriors were attacked
and defeated. His life was saved by some unknown
youth, whose name he did not know, but to whom he
was bound by oath to bestow the hand of his daughter
in gratitude for the gallant exploit of the youth. This
youth proves to be Prince Belavoir, King of Nomark,
the younger son of Fogrum. The King, however,
keeps his pledge, and the usual happy results follow.
Richcraft (Mr. Robson) becomes frantic, and it would
be an endless task to attempt to depict the various
drolleries and powerful acting of this gentleman, who
may be said to be one of the chief supports of the
pieces.

To Miss Marston, Miss F. Ternan, and Miss Julia St.
George, who played the throe princesses, much credit is
due; nor can we omit to mention Mr. Emery in the part
•f King Gander. He sustained the character through-
out with singular gravity and judgment.
The scenery dresses, &c., were excellent.

enchanted sylphs appear, especially called forth the ad-
miration of the audience, and so great was the enthusiasm
that Mr. Nelson Lee was summoned three times before
the curtain to receive the congratulations of his numerous
patrons. The transformations having been effected, the
furious fun proceeded without interruption, the juvenile
portion of the audience particularly showing how highly
they relished the thievish tricks of the Clown and Pan-
taloon, and the kicks and cuffs that were unmercifully
inflicted on the latter. Passing events of any notoriety
were adroitly seized upon by Mr. Nelson Lee a 3 staple
commodities for his numerous jokes, and many of them
told exceedingly well. Mr. W. H. Harvey was an excel-
lent Harlequin, and Miss Emma Sanger was a very
pretty and attractive Columbine. Mr. A. F. Forrest
and Mr. Morelli were Clown and Pantaloon, and there
was the usual addition of a Sprite, whose contortions
called forth a good deal of applause. The piece went off
exceedingly well throughout, and we doubt not it will
have, as it well deserves, a very successful run.

The Olympic.

The commodious little theatre in Wych-street was
crowded to excess last night to witness Mr. Planche's
new and doubly moral, though excessively old, melo-
dramatic fairy extravaganza, the "Discreet Princess, or
the Three Glass Distaffs," founded on the story of
L'Adroite Princes■ in Les Contes de la Mbre Oie. The
piece opens with a council of the Ministers of King Gan-
der, presided over by his Majesty, the subject of discus-
sion relating to the guardianship of his three daughters,
the Princess Idelfonaa, the Princess Babillarda, and the
Princess Finetta. The King has resolved to go to Pa-
lestine, "the Paynim for to pound." The council ad-
♦ise the King to do just what he pleases, and the dia-
logue is replete with wit and no ordinary satire on pass-
ing events. MothEr Gooso aids the King by presenting
him with three glass distaffs, which she assures him if
produced unbroken on his return will prove a sure test
of prudence on the part of each daughter, as they shiver
to pieces at the slightest indiscretion. The King deter-
mines to shut the daughters up in a lofty tower, and to
brick up the lower entrance ; and a basket is raised or
lowered by a spring to convoy them their food. He
declares his resolve—

" To secure you from artful Cupid's dodging,
I'll place you all in ready-furnished lodgings!"

After taking an " affectionate farewell" of his chil-
dren dear, their retreat is discovered by Prince Richcraft
(Mr. F. Robson), the son of Fogrum, Gander's ancient
foe, who, under the disguise of an old ballad-singer, per-
snades the charming Princess Babillarda to admit him
into the tower by means of the basket, which is lowered
and raised with him in it. Babillarda finds her distaff
is broken in pieces, and the same mischance occurs to
Idelfonza the Indolent, who listens to Richcraft's pro-
testations of love, Finetta the Discreet "manfully,

THAMES ESPLANADE AND RAILWAY.

A company has just been registered under the title of
the " River Thames Esplanade Railway, and Sewage
Company." The promoter, Mr.i Wieland, of Glasgow.
proposes to construct river walls on both banks of the
Thames, extending from London to Westminster-bridge,
with the view of improving the channel and navigation,
whilst increased wharfage accommodation would be given
by means of quays extending landwards a depth of 120
feet. This quay is to have 40 feet open on the north side,
and 80 feet covered by deuble-groined arches of 35 feet
span, and about 35 feet high. On the top of these arches
it is proposed to raise a road or esplanade, 80 feet wide,
running parallel to the river on the level of the various
bridges from London-bridge to Hungerford-rnarket.
This esplanade would be bounded by an open bulastrade
on the river side, and by a row of handsome shops, sur-
mounted by warehouses or offices on the land side—
these shops and warehouses being built over a series of
lower warehouses communicating with the pier. On the
south wide of the river it is proposed to pursue the same
plan, with the exception that the esplanade would only
be 40 feet wide, and on the greater portion of it the
warehouses above the shops would give way to private
dwellings, built in flats, on the Scotch and Parisian prin-
ciple—the esplanade on either side of the river forming
junctions with each of the bridges and leading streets.
It is likewise proposed to form a tunnelled railway under
the the arches of the railway on the Middlesex side
river from London-bridge to Hungerford-maret of
then
An-
other feature of the scheme is the purifying the ,river
Thames by entrapping the sewage of London at the
mouths of the present sewers, and conveying itfrore the
heart of the metropolis to convenient spots, where it
may be deodorised and converted into manure for
agricultural purposes. The promoter of the scheme is of
opinion that the economy of the employment of the
ground by raising upon it three distinct classes of build-
ings would yield a ground rent more than sufficient to
cover the interest upon expenditure, whilst the sewage
and railways would be both sources of considerable pro•
fit. It would appear, however, irrespective of commercial
coueiderationo, to be an undertaking, tilt utility of which,
