THE CAB PROPRIETORS' QUESTION.
MEETING THIS DAY.

At 11 o'clock this morning, a meeting of the cab pro-
prietors and drivers was held at the Cranbourne Hotel,
St. Martin's-lane, for the purpose of hearing the result
of a deputation of their body, which had an interview,
last evening, with the -Under Secretary of State fur the
Home Department. Mr. Coulter having been called to
the chair,
Mr. GAMBLE proceeded to detail the conversation be-
tween the deputation and Mr. Fitzroy. With regard to
the propositions they had laid before the hon. gentle-
man, they had not all been entertained, but the spirit of
them had been entertained. (Cheers.) They were al-
lowed to have a limit of four miles instead of the six
miles. They were also to have 6d. for every person over
the second person, so that, if they earned five persons,
they would be getting 2s. per mile. The deputation
were told by Mr. Fitzroy that he would not bring for-
ward his bill while the cabs were withdrawn from the
streets. Now, he thought that it would be very foolish
to work their cabs under the present act, and they would,
therefore, be acting wisely to keep their horses in the
stables rather than work them at a loss. (Hear, hear.)
After speeches in favour of cont!nuing the strike until
what was termed reasonable modifications in the present
act were made, the meeting separated.

FRANCE.

TURKEY AND RUSSIA.
Private letters from Constantinople, of the 15th, speAk
of the excitement which has not ceased to prevail there
ever since the population became aware of the presence
of the Russian army in the Danubian Principalities. A
proclamation from the Ottoman Government to all Mus-
sulmans was soon expected to appear. The armaments
continued at the date of the letters referred to with the
same activity. The contingents of Tunis and Tripoli,
calculated at 20,000 men, were expected. Abbas Pasha
had placed at the disposal of the Sultan 14 ships of war
(four of which are steamers), 15,000 men, and a sum
amounting to 25,000,000 of piastres. Three Egyptian
transports had arrived at Constantinople with a part of
the troops. The Porte has decidedly refused the offers
of service of the refugees, and had only accepted a small
number of foreigners.
The fleets of Great Britain and France remain in the
positions they occupied on the 11th. Admiral Hamelin
has arrived on board the Pluton, and on the 14th inst.
Admiral La•Susse resigned his command to that officer.
The French three decker Friedland, which arrived on
th 15th, takes the place of the Montebello, which re-
turns to Toulon.
A letter from Athens of the 17th, in a Marseilles
journal says :—" The news of the entrance of the Rus-
sians into the Principalities has not been received here
so favourably as might have been expected. Most of
the journals declare against the invasion : it is of
opinion that in case of war Greece should remain neu-
ter ; but in case the war should become general, most
Greeks are of opinion that the Greeks ought to march
with the West. One of the journals, the Siecle, is
however of a different opinion. It is paid by Russia.
It is very violent in language. It demands that the
Greeks shall arm, and that, whilst the Russians enter
Wallachia, they shall invade the Turkish territory. The
Government does nothing to check the violence of this
journal, though it may cause grave embarrassments to
Greece."
A letter from Smyrna of the 17th, in a Marseilles
journal, announces the departure of Ali-Pacha, the late
governor, after receiving an address (as already men
tioned in the Messenger) from the European colony. On
the day on which he left, the Consuls displayed their
flags, and the vessels of war fired a salute—with the ex-
ception however of the Austrian Consul, and the Com-
mander of the Austrian vessel.—The letter then proceeds
to say.:—" The investigation into the assassination of
Baron d'Adelberg is terminated. All the accused have
contrived to evade arrest. The Austrian Consul, M.
Wekhecker, insisted that the chiefs of the emigration
should be bastinadoed ; but his Excellency Cherib-
Effendi refused, saying, ' If they be guilty they will be
prosecuted. If innocent, what is the use of this cruelty?'
The arrest of a Hungarian refugee at Beyrouth, which
took place recently, nearly gave rise to scenes as de-
plorable as those of Smyrna The refugee, accompa-
nied by his wife and his children, embarked on board
the Austrian steamer the Lloyds. The captain
immediately signified to him in the name of
the Consul that he arrested him and would convey him
to Trieste. The Hungarian protested ; and then appear-
ing to submit to his destiny, he withdrew to a corner,
and waiting until he saw that he was not watched, threw
himself into the sea. A boatman picked him up, and
conveyed him to the Consulate of the United States.
There proving by his passport that he was entitled to
American protection, he was received. Thanks to the
energy of the American Consul, the wife and children of
the Hungarian, whom the captain wished to keep on
board, were restored to liberty, and arrived at Smyrna
yesterday by the French steamer."

LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.

There is nothing in the Original columns of the Paris
journals on the Eastern question, or on any other sub-
ject, 3f erfficient interest for extract.
Sidi Ben aguab, Cheik el Arab, and his son, the Caid
Ben Cassen Bourga, arrived at Marseilles on the 25th,
from the South of Algeria, with a numerous suite, and
some magnificent horses, which are intended as a pre-
sent to the Emperor. They left Marseilles on the 26th
for Paris.

The Emperor and the Empress were present on Wed-
hesday at the Gymnase theatre. Queen Christina was
also pfessnt, as was the Duchess d'Alba.
The Ernperdr has received from the Grand Duke
Charles-Alexander of Saig-Weimar, a notification of the
death of the Grand Duke Charles-Frederick of Saxe-
Weimar, his father. In consequence, the Emperor will
go into mourning for six days, from the 31st of July.
The Mom/tear contains an Imperial decree, promul-
gating the postal convention concluded on April 1,
1853, between France and the Roman States. _ .

We read in the Illonitcur:—" Incidents, much to be
regretted, have of late taken place on the frontiers of the
Pyrenees, and particularly in the forest of Iraty, to
which the Spanish valley of Salazar lays claim. The
Government of his Imperial Majesty and that of her
Catholic Majesty, desirous of putting an end to the
quarre's which ened to burst out between the fron-
tier populations of the two countries, have decided that
the contested ground shall be declared temporarily neu•
tral. That arrangement, which has for object only the
re-establishment of order, cannot in any way prejudge
the question of right, which remains entirely to be dis-
cussed in conferences by special plenipotentiaries, who
are shortly to proceed to the spot. The French Com-
missioners are Baron Gros, Minister Plenipotentiary,
and General of Brigade Callier. The populations inte-
rested in the matter should await with calm and confi-
dence the result of the inquiry which is thus about to be
instituted."

We read in the Siècle :—" Yesterday morning, at half-
past nine, a courier arrived from London at the English
embassy. The dispatches were immediately forwarded
to Lord Cowley at Chantilly, and we are informed that
at 2 o'clock in the afternoon his lordship arrived in
Paris to have a conference with the Minister of Foreign
Affairs. However well sealed official dispatches may be
something always escapes through the envelopes and the
triple seals. We relate, therefore, with a certain degree
of confidence what is stated to us in our letters from
London. The English Government, it is said, has in-
formed that of France that the moment is come for dis-
cussing all the plans of proceedings in the event of a
war, which is happily still not certain. As regards the
condition of the evacuation of the provinces of the
Danube, the British Cabinet is of opinion that it is im-
plicitly laid down in the propositions of arrangement
which have been sent to St. Petersburgh ; but it thinks
it would not be amiss to lay it down explicitly, as nego-
tiations can be carried on with honour only on this con-
dition. Our letters inform us of something still more
serious. The English Government has discovered that
the fleets cannot, without risking the respect due to the
two great naval powers, remain in Besika Bay • and an
order is to be sent to them to pass the Dardanelles, but
without undertaking any warlike operation without fresh
instructions."

After giving this news, the responsibility of which we
leave, of course, to the Siade, that journal proceeds to
give the considerations on which the reported decision
of the English Cabinet has been founded. These con-
siderations so much resemble the arguments that have
been used by the Biecle, that they have rather the effect
of throwing doubt on the news itself than of preparing
the public mind to receive it as authentic.
The steadiness of the last two days in the funds gave
way yesterday to a good deal of fluctuation, ending in a
fall of 10c. in the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. for cash,
and 35c. in the Three per Cents. for the account. The
following are the closing prices :—For cash : Three pe:-
Cents., 78f. 50c. ; Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 103 f. 30c.
For the account : Three per Cents., 78f. 35c. ; Four-
a-Half per Cents., 103 f. 45c. ; Bank Stock, 2,825 f.
Shares of the Banks of Credit Foncier and Credit Mo-
bilier have given way, the former 10f., and the latter lf.
The last prices are :—Credit Foncier, 740 f. ; Credit
Mobilier, 833 f. The Railway Share Market has not
exhibited much animation, however, except a trifling
fall of 2f. in Northerris ; the other leading lines have
either advanced a few fraDcs each in value, or remained
unchanged. The following were the quotations at the
close of business :—Northern, 878 f. ; Paris and Orleans,
1,146 f. 50c. ; Paris and Strasliourg, 937 f. ; Paris and
Lyons, 935 f. 25c. ; Paris and Rouezi, 1,112 f. ; Lyons to
the Mediterranean, 765 f.
