FALKIRK SEPTEMBER TRYST.—The second for the
season of these very important markets was held on
Monday, the 12th, on the usual stance. The prices got
were considerably higher than those obtained last year,
arising no doubt from the great improvement made in
the turnip crops, and the progress the pasture lands
have made within the last month. The black-faced
stock were unusually heavy, for, in addition to the stocks
from the Highlands, farmers and others brought out
theii small lots in consequence of the high prices ob-
tained last year on the corresponding market. The fol-
lowing are the advances obtained above September
market of last year.: —Black-faced wedders, from 2s. to
35. per head ; black-faced ewes, from 3s. to 4s. per head;
Cheviot wedders, from 4s. to 4s. 6(3. per head ; Cheviot

The Heraldo of Madrid of the 10th states that
the Queen has expressed a desire that the daily pay
of the :2oldiers shall be increased, in order that they
may be more comfortable, and have something to

This measure it says, is to be carried into effect,
and all the grades of the army are to receive a pro-

portional increase. The Herald() adds, howeve,
that the augmentation will not add to the budge,_.

stamp, at prices ranging fromll2s. to 18s.
SIR HARRY SMITH'S CLOAK.—This gallant warrior
has in his possession a remarkable cloak, so large, we
hear, that when worn it protects the horse as well. as
himself. It served all through the Indian campaign,
and is fairly riddled with shot ; so that it is at all times
regarded with much curiosity. When Sir Harry met
the 50th Regiment, after their arrival from the East,
the soldiers recognised the martial cloak that vas on
his shoulders, and they bore teatunony to the L,rea,
service it had rendered in the .vissitudes of war.—

CREMORNE GARDENS.

The subjects of amusement exhibited at this pop
,Pulsr
place of metropolitan recreation and resort, yesterld
afternoon and evening, were more than ordinarily veer
and interesting. Music, the ballet, pyrotechnics, elt
trian performances, clairvoyance, ethnology, and mar'
were all summoned to the aid of the spirited proprietor)
in his endeavours to provide an exhibition calculated t°,'
excite and amuse his numerous p livatrons. The we
in the evening was unfortunately unpropitious both I°
the pyrotechnic display and for the promenade in the
grounds, which were illuminated with singular brillislinYe
and taste ; but the numesrons company were in nov%
disappointed, the recreations within doors being
ch racter amply to compensate them for any diminlol°
they may have suffered in their enjoyment in the open
air during a sullen mood of our capricious climate.
In addition to the usual incentives to gaiety; Al
Simpson presented his patrons with an opportnniti 43„
inspecting the four greatest phenomena of the sew%
which have severally attracted multitudes of the curt%
in the metropolis -the Aztecs, the Earthmen, the. Zul
Kafirs, and the Suffolk prodigies. These objects of
terest, of whom the first and last mentioned were usher,
into the grounds in a "grand ethnological cavalcade,
to the vast delectation of the beholders, were procini
on the stage at different periods of the evening, n_r)
some apposite observations concerning them addrem7A
to the crowded audience by Mr. Buckingham were he
with great interest and attention. The performance !11
the circus went off with exceeding spirit ; and the _.
Ham achievements of the incomparable Italian Brotbi"
and of the very clever Ethair family received the wally ,
est applause.
In the favourite ballet of the Barber Cadiz the es.
cellent dancing of M. Milano and the Mdlles. Colinas
elicited the admiration which these excellent artist
never fail to command. The fete was altogether one
the most successful developments of Mr. Simpson' •
managerial energy and skill, and one of the most Conii
prehensive caterings to the public entertainment al*
has been anywhere presented in a single evening.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

The following is the latest telegraphic dis-
patch :
" TRIESTE, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 14.
" The Lloyd steamer has just arrived, with news
from Constantinople to the sth Sept.
" No change has taken place in the position of
affairs.

" The armaments are actively continued.
" A portion of the Eyptian troops have left for
Varna. Great mortality had prevailed among
them.
" Admiral Desfosses has returned to France.
" Sickness prevailed among the seamen of the
two fleets.

" The English admiral has concluded contracts
for supplies of coal.
" Some brawls had taken place between French
sailors and the Turks. The fanaticism of the
latter was increasing."
From Kalisch, Sept. 7, we learn, Poland is per-
fectly tranquil. Large bodies of troops are being
concentrated on the Moldavian frontier. This fact
is not considered alarming, since Turkey continues
her armaments, and since the Ottoman army on
the Danube is superior, in point of numbers, to
the Russian army in the Principalities.
The German Journal of Frankfort has the fol-
lowing from Smyrna, 31st ult. :—" Almost all the
troops coming from Asia, from 60,000 to 80,000 in
number, have passed through this city ; they are
filled with the most warlike enthusiasm. As to
the inhabitants, they are at this moment animated
with such a spirit that the Sultan would lose his
life and his throne if he were to accept humiliating
conditions. The fleets in Besika Bay are constantly
receiving reinforcements, and at the same time
accounts from the Danubian Principalities state
that the Russians are making preparations for win-
tering there. Ismael Pacha, our governor, is
using every possible effort to re-establish public
tranquillity, which has unfortunately been lately
much disturbed. It is reported that more than
1,500 muskets have been found concealed in the
Greek hospital."

LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1853.

It is generally understood that, on the 23d

Austria are to have
interview and a solemn

The circumstance of the intended ra.„4.,.___•

been arranged at this particular moment by the
AUTOCRAT would appear to indicate, on the part
of that ambitious potentate, a continuity of pur_
pose admirably in keeping with that supreme and
implicit self-reliance which is about the most re-
markable among his distinguishing characteristics.
Throughout the whole course of the recent pro-
ceedings in respect to the Turkish Government
the Emperor NICHOLAS has contrived to strengthen
his position by unbending consistency, unyield-
ing determination, and unflagging perseverance.
Fair-play requires that this much, at least, in hi
regard, should be admitted. To this exterlt,
whatever our views as to the lawlessness of his
policy, he cannot but be admitted to have ex-
torted from us our unwilling admiratiu:n. Ab-
horring though we do the criminality of his de-
signs for the augmentation
of his power and the
extension
of his dom* •

nevertheless, to acknowledge the masterly skill of

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT A SOAP MANITACTOAY
DEPTFORD.—This morning, between 8 and 9 o'clock. 9'
frightful accident occurred to Jas. Welch, a soap makilter,
of Sun-street, Deptford, which is likely to tern:at':
fatally. The unfortunate man was in the employine:
of Messrs. Wheen, Deptford Creek, when, wobing w(d'
make a cut across to a pump, very imprudently walke
on the edge of a vat of boiling soap lees, when bis foot
slipped, and he fell in head-foremost. An alarm via°
instantly raised, and medical assistance sent for, when
the unfortunate sufferer was extricated, but on removing
his clothing the flesh pealed off in flakes. A litter was
made in one of the firm's carts and conveyed to St.
Thomas's Hospital, where the medical staff was in
prompt attendance, but from the severe nature of the
injuries not the slightest hopes are entertained that he
can live the day out. The unfortunate man was much
respected, and was a steady and sober man.

THE WAGES MOVEMENT.

CARPENTERS' STRlKE.—Yesterday the men from the
Horse Guards, Somerset-house, Marlborough-house,
and St. James's Palace, in the employ of Mr. Higgs, of
Stangate, still remained on strike. They have had an
interview ; Mr. Higgs, however, positively refused to
entertain their demand, saying, if he were compelled to
give the advance, it should be to others, not to them.
In the meantime the men are rapidly finding employ-
ment, at the advanced rate, in other shops. The men
in the employ of Mr. Hill, of the Whitechapel-road,
who struck on Monday, still remained out yesterday
afternoon, no arrangement having been come to. Last
night the delegates of this trade assembled in the Car-
penters'-hall, Ryder's-court, Leicester-square. A most
satisfactory detail of the progress of the movement was
given, and no doubt appeared to be entertained of the
advance being permanent.
BASKETMAKERS.—Yesterday morning a meeting of
the journeymen basket-makers was held at the White
Hart Tavern, Giltspur-street, Smithfield, at which it was
resolved to continue the agitation for the advance of 10
per cent., already obtained by the men who struck at
the West-end.
THE SLOPSELLERS.—The poor people who have hither-
to worked for the East-end slopdealers, making shirts
for 11d. each, and all other garments at equally low .
prices, remain firm. It is thought the difficulty
experienced in finding fresh hands will induce the mas-

MISS ROMER'S BENEFIT.

To-morrow evening this popular artiste has selected-
for her annual benefit, at the Surrey Theatre. In
sion to this, the followhn passage has been introduce
by the "Little Saint" in his rollicking lays—"M
and Lunatic :"
" I cannot accept your kind invite
For Saturday, Gem .of the Gore.'
I go to the Surrey, sweet creature,
There's 'Love in a Villag,f,' asthore.
" Miss Romer has fixed on that evening,
To summon to boxes and pit
Her friends ; but the public in thousands
Will rush to her sole benefit."
It is to be hoped that "thousands" will follow the
advice of the merry critic of the season—thirty-lilt'
cousin of the Great St. Leger.
