HAY MARKETS.

SMITHFIELD.—Meadow hay, 2/ 16s to 5/ 12s ; clover
ditto, 4/ Os to 6/ 6s ; and straw, 1/ 14s to 2/ 2s per load.
A. full average supply, and a sluggish demand.
CIIIMEALAND.—Meadow hay, 21 18s to 5/ 15s ; clover
ditto, 4/ Oa to 61 6s; and straw, 1/ 15s to 2/ 4s per load.
Trade dull.

WHITECHAPEL.—Meadow hay, 2/ rs to 5/ 12s; clover
ditto, 4/ Os to 6/ lOs ; and straw, 1/ 14s to 2/ 2s per load.
Supply good, and trade dull.

NEw PATENT BRICK-MAKING MACHlNE.—Yesterday
a private view took place in the presence of several
gentlemen from the foreign embassies, and many emi-
ment engineers, of a machine, invented by Mr. Clayton,
for making solid bricks, and which throws in the shade
all inventions of a similar character. The crowded
state of our columns compels us to defer our account of
the experiment, which, we may mention, was entirely
successful, until to-morrow.
EMIGRATION FROM LIVERPOOL—The number of emi-
grant ships which left the port of Liverpool during the
month of November was 37, with a total number of
14,732 adults on board, being less by 3,570 than in the
previous month. This, however, affords no criterion as
to the state of the trade, the returns for the three last
months of the year always exhibiting a material falling
off.
AMSTERDAM AND ROTTERDAM PRODUCE MARKETS.—
The weekly reviews from the Amsterdam and Rotterdam
produce-markets state that no great alteration had oc-
curred in business. The quotations for coffee and sugar
continued to exhibit firmness, but operations generally
had been limited.
ROUEN.—The letters from Rouen mention that the
market for manufactures was rather firmer, the atten-
dance of buyers having latterly increased.
THE MURDER ON BOARD THE REINDEER.—The wi-
dow of Captain Wilson, who was murdered on board
the Reindeer while navigating his vessel from Valparaiso
to Monte Video, has received the following note from
the Board of Trade :—" Office of Committee of Privy
Council, &c., Nov. 12, 1853.—Madam, In reply to your
letter, I am directed by the Lords of the Committee of
Privy Council for Trade to acquaint you that four pri-
soners belonging to the late crew of the Reindeer, of
whom-one was a. British subject, have been arrested by
the authorities at Buenos Ayres, on suspicion of being
concerned in the murders on board that vessel, and will in
all probability be tried and dealt with according to the
laws of that province.—Your obedient servant, JAMES
BOOTH."

LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

A telegraphic despatch from Vienna yesterday
evening says that the Conference of Ambassadors
in that capital will despatch to-day (Tuesday) a pro-
posal of arrangement to the Porte.
According to this proposal the negotiations for
peace are still to be carried on, even though hosti-
lities should not be suspended.
The new project for a treaty of peace arrived in
Vienna on Sunday from London, and has been
approved of by the representatives of the Four
Powers. The collective action of the Four Powers
is thus re-established.

There seems, says the despatch, little doubt that
the proposal will be accepted.
The news from Krajova, Nov. 25, is to this
effect :—Neither the Russians nor the Turks at
Kalafat have made a movement in advance.

Great improvements are still being made in the
fortifications of Kalafat, and an incredible acti-
vity is displayed in the construction of redoubts.
There is a rumour of the desertion of 300 Wal-
lacEan Gendarmes, who were attached to the
corps of General Fishback, and who, with horses,
weapons, and accoutrements, are said to have gone
over to the Turks.
The whole of Wallachia and Moldavia has been
placed under martial law. Prince Gortschakoff
assembled all the Boyards at Bucharest, and plainly
told them that he would order the first man to be
hanged in twenty-four hours who should dare ex-
press himself in a hostile manner towards the Rus-
sian Government.

The population has become indignant, especially
at Bucharest. This is the principal cause of the
concentration of the Russian forces around that
capital ; and it is believed that if Omer Pacha were
to advance with a sufficient number of troops, the
Russians would not be able to hold out. In the
meantime the Russians have threatened to burn
down the town, in order to overawe tsie population.
It appears that for the present the Commander-in-
Chief of the Turkish army has limited his army to
reinforcing the position of Oltenitza, by sending
over eight other battalions. Reinforcements have
also been sent to Kalafat, in Little Wallachia, at
which place Ismail Pacha crossed with 32,000 men.
He is said to be marching forward in order to take
up a position on the Olta.

The cold and snow, which have suddenly set in,
will put a stop to all military operations, whether
on the right or left bank of the Danube, and the
campaign may be looked upon as ended for this
year. Omer Pacha has given the Russians a taste
of the Turkish artillery. No material advantages
have, however, been gained. The late victorious
engagements will have a very beneficial moral in-
fluence throughout the Turkish army.
We stated before that three Russian steamers had
appeared before Varna, without their ensigns.
The Turks did not fire on them. Abdallah
the governor of Varna, has been deposed in conse-
quence. He arrived at Constantinople on Satur-
day, and will have to stand his trial.

The Hospodar of Wallachia has resolved to quit
the country. Prince Ghika has published the fol-
lowing address :

" We, Gregorius Alexander Ghika, to our Extraordi-
nary Administrative Council.—Our position having
become incompatible with the state of things caused by
grave events, we consider it our duty to place the reins
of Government in the bands of the Extraordinary Ad-
ministrative Council. We consequently exhort it to
fulfil these duties which we confide to it, both collectively
and separately to each member of the Council, as regards
the affairs connected with his department, which he is
failed upon to administrate under his responsibility.
until ulterior dispositions will have been resolved.
(Signed) "GIiEGOBILTS GHIKA.
"Jassy, Oct. 30, 1853."
Prince Ghika has left.
The British Consul on Nov. 29 was still in
Bucharest, and so was M. Argyropoulo. Prince
Gortschakoff returned on the 27th from his journey
to Giurgevo. The Turks still hold the island near

Oltenitza. The island of Mokan was the object of
daily c ntests, and it appeared that the Turks were
resolved to take it at any price.
General Abranowich, appointed to a particular
mission, had arrived at Bucharest. This General

is Commander-in-Chief of the Gendarmerie of the
army of Poland. He has been appointed chief of
the staff of Prince Paskewitsch, and his presence
in the Danubian Principalities is considered as in-
dicating the approaching arrival of Prince Pask6-
witsch himself.
The Oesterreichische Correspondenz confirms the
news of the recall of Baron Bruck, the Austrian
Internuncio at Constantin iple.
Baron Bruck has told Redschid Pasha that the
Austrian Government supported the neutrality of
the Prince of Servia, and that she would not be
pleased to see the Porte have recourse to means of
coercion in order to compel the Prince to take the
part of Turkey.
Redschid Pacha replied that the Sultan was re-
solved to compel the Prince to renounce his neu-
trality, and that orders had been given for that
purpose. Fresh instructions on the policy which
Baron Bruck is to observe in this affair have been
sent from Vienna.
Letters from Brailow state that the Russian au-
thorities have notified that neutral vessels on their
voyage to or from the Black Sea to Ibrail and
Galatz will be allowed to pass without molestation,
provided they do not stop in any place. On leaving
Ibrail and Galatz, the masters were bound to show
their papers to the Russian agents, who would fur-
nish them with passes. Austrian vessels are not
excepted from this fegulation.
Accounts have been received from Posen that all
the Russian troops in Poland have received orders
to join the army of the South, and they are already
on their road. They will be replaced by troops
from the North.
The most recent letters from Kalisch state that
two battering trains have been sent from Poland
to the Principalities with small escorts. Great
activity reigns in the garrisons, and contracts for
stores and provisions for this and that regiment are
daily advertised in the puplic prints. General
Uschakoff, director of Marshal Paskiewitch's chan-
cery, has been sent on special mission to Bucha-
rest.

Seventy-two Wallachian peasants have been sent
prisoners to the Russian head-quarters at Mazu-
relli, charged with having worked at the Turkish
entrenchments at Oltenitza.

Letters from Constantinople state that the last
project of France and England is not likely to be
accepted at St. Petersburg, being little more than
a copy of that which was first offered by Redschid
Pasha to Prince Menschikoff. Lord Stratford fol-
lowed his instructions to the letter, although it is
not believed that he approves the policy of his
Government. It is said in Constantinople that the
extreme desire for peace exhibited by England pro-
ceeds from her Majesty the Queen and another
crowned head (the King of Belgium.)
We have already mentioned the destruction of
a Russian steamer which attacked the Turkish
fort of St. Nicholas, in Asia. According to an
official report it appears that, in order to surprise
the fort the steamer hoisted the Turkish flag, and
all the men on her deck put on the Fez caps. De-
ceived by these appearances, Ismail Pacha, com-
manding the land batteries, allowed her to advance,
when an officer under his orders affirmed that he
recognised the vessel as the same which carried
Prince Menschikoff to Constantinople. The same
officer pointed a gun, the ball from which entered
one of the paddle-boxes, and broke her wheel. The
Russians, finding themselves discovered, endea
voured to return the fire, but in a short time she
had her engine completely disabled by the Turkish
balls, and her hull crippled, and she soon after
went on shore near the Batoum.

It is said that when the Note, addressed by the
Court of St. Petersburgh to the Governments of
England and France rejecting all further negotia-
tions, was put into the hands of the Emperor of
French at Fontainebleau, that his Imperial Majesty
on reading it exclaimed, "Ah ! the Emperor
Nicholas, takes that tone. Eh! bien, nous ver-
rons." In fact, Louis Napoleon left no doubt on
the minds of those who heard his significant ex-
pression, accompanied by his characteristically
marked manner, at once so quiet and so resolute,
that, if the Czar has indeed thrown down the
gauntlet, it is already taken up.
