THE RUSSIAN PRISONERS.

The Russian and Finnish officers on parole at Sheerness
were ordered on the 20th to assemble at the Clarence Inn
to receive their subsistence money, due up to that day.
The paymaster and the commander, in the presence of
Major Gahn (as senior officer here), attended to the pay-
ment, and they all appeared much gratified at receiving
the allowance granted them by the Admiralty.
Yesterday Sir Moses and Lady Montefiore visited the
prisoners of the Jewish persuasion in both ships, and each
of the Jewesses received ss. and the Jews 10s. each, to en-
able them to keep their coming holiday in every respect in
accordance with their religious duties. Cabins had been
previous:y set apart for them during their holiday by the
commander of the Devonshire, and every facility was
offered for their performing all their wonted religious cere-

monies.
Lady Montefiore presented the prisoners, through the
respective commanders, 5/. each.
Dr. Hahn, missionary to the British and Foreign Sailors'
Society, and Mr. Cox, from the Merchant Seamen's Bible
Society, have paid a second visit to Sheerness ; the former
has been distributing religious publications in various lan-
guages, and the latter the Holy Scriptures.
The prisoners have expressed the greatest gratitude to
both these gentlemen for their unremitting attention to
them as regards their spiritual welfare. The officers on
parole on shore have given Mr. Hahn their assistance in
every way possible. Mr. Hahn, being able to converse
with the prisoners in three different languages, has had a
very warm vote of*thanks from the officers for his kind and
gentle manly conduct towards the prisoners.
Captain Beck, of the Russian bark Carl, was granted his
parole yesterday and came on shore. He being a merchant
captain has no subsistence money allowed him. His mate
signed his parole yesterday and came on shore, he preferring
day parole for want of funds to reside on shore. His
parole, on similar terms to Captain Beck's, was offered

him.
One of the women on board.the Devonshire was confined
of a fine boy a few days since. She was attended by the
surgeon of that ship, and is doing well, all necessary com-
forts administered to her by order of the commander of the
Devonshire.

STRAND THEATRE.

What next, it may well be asked, will the lessee of this
little theatre attempt ? On Monday he produced the
opera of Der Freischutz, one of the most difficult of pieces,
as far as stage resources are concerned, very creditably.
It is much to be regretted that such exceeding liberty has
been taken with the score of Weber ; the music of this
opera is far too beautiful for even a single bar to be
omitted. However, that portion of the music which
has been left is very nicely given, and we cannot help
thinking that, with the aid of Miss R. Isaacs, Miss
Reeves, and Mr. H. Manley. the whole of the opera
might have been very well executed. The celebrated
huntsman's chorus was very excellently sung, and fully
deserved the applause which it received. The Virginny
Mummy, a farce of the Jim Crow school, followed, in
which Mr. G. Hodson sustained the principal part.
Hibernian characters are evidently this gentleman's forte
and we think this hint will not be lost sight of. The
pantomime still continues highly attractive. The house
was very fully attended.

ST. MARTIN'S HALL.—Last night Haydn's oratorio
" The Creation" was repeated at this fine hall, under
the direction of Mr. John Hullah. The principal
vocalists were Miss Birch, Mr. Frank Bodda, and Mr.
T. E. Williamq, and the choruses were executed ')3, the
members of Mr. Hullah'e first upper singing school.
Mr. Hullah has achieved a perfect wonder in training
so large a body of amateurs to the pitch of real excel-
lence displayed last night by their rendering of the ex-
quisite and pie tnnto difficult music of this oratorio.
The audience was tolerably numerous.

FINE ARTS,—The magnificent upper salon at Crock-
ford's— now the Wellington, in Piccadilly—has juet
been decorated by the pencil of Mr. Sang. The luxu-
riant splendour and truly aristocratic grandezza of this
apartment dates its existence at the period of George
the Fourth and bis Royal brothers. The mouldings are
of the most exquisite and tasteful class, and were copied
from the best specimens of Versailles, at the time that
the club was erected with such astounding liberality by
its original proprietor. Yet colour has ever been con-
sidered to be wanting to relieve the profusion of gold
decoration and the cold masses of white. And this has
been effected in a manner the most delightful ; and the
addition has served to render the salon far more mag-
nificent than any other in Europe. The designs i 4
colour are all surpassing in excellence. The Wattean.
like medallions and the original and capricious corn.
positions in the panels are painted in perfect and melo-
dious harmony. Indeed, the tout ensemble is marked by
felicitous judgment and incomparable artistic ability, and
when it is borne in mind that this display of masterly
execution has been called forth by, and is especially
devoted to, the requirements of "the peoplerit is no
less pleasing as an evidence of the onward march of taste
and refinement than commendable on the part of th
spirited proprietors, whose 'wealth and liberality have so
successfully contributed to tho reau1t....6100.

TURKEY AND RUSSIA.

The Journal do St. Pctersbourg of the 16th con-
tains the following official reports :
"Aide-de-Camp General Prince Gortschakoff relates,
tinder date of the 23d ult., that for the purpose of more
closely hemming in the Turks who occupy Kalafat,
Aide-de-Camp General Count Aurep d'Elmpt received
orders to advance with a part of our troops cantoned at
iraicwa. On this occasion a battalion of the regiment
of infantry at Tobolsk, with two pieces of cannon, and
Baumgarten,
Jossacks, which, under the command of Colonel de
.Daulngarten, commanding the regiment, formed the ad-
vanced guard of the detachment, occupied the village of
Tchetati. At 8 o'clock in the morning of the 19th ult.,
the Turkish cavalry, to the numbar of 1,500 to 2,000 men,
appeared before that village, and attacked our battalion at
four different times, but were repulsed each time by the
Musketry and grape of our troops, and obliged to retire on
Gounia andMolda wit, after losing, according to the account
of the inhabitants, 60 men in killed and wounded. On
oar side, Ensign Soudschilovsky was slightly wounded
in the arm. On the other points of the Danube nothing
took place between the 6th and the 23d ult.
"The Commandant-in. Chief of the Corps of the Cau-
casus announces, under date of the 14th December, that
our position on the Turkish frontier is strongly guaran-
teed by our victories of the 6th, 14th, and 19th Novem-
ber. According to accounts received at Tiflis the
Turkish corps, beaten on the heights of Baschkadyk-
Lar, was commanded not by the Seraskier Abdi-Pacha,
but by Reis-Aklimet-Pacha. After the affair of the 2d
November, at Bazandouri, the former was inclined to
avoid a decisive battle with us ; but, having met with a
spirit of insubordination among the Pachas under his
orders, he retired to Kars. Reis•Akhmet-Pacha, who
succeeded him, accepted the battle, and by his presump-
tion exposed the Turkish troops to the defeat of the 19th
November."

SURREY THEATRE.

On Monday night last this highly popular theatre
was filled in every part by a highly respectable audience,
to witness the first appearance of a young lady who has
already exhibited at other of the metropolitan theatres
the possession of talents which qualify her for attaining
a high rank in her profession. On this occasion Miss
Sarah Thorne, the young lady alluded to, appeared in
the character of Zamora, in Tobin's comedy of the
Honeymoon, and her reception as such must have been
highly gratifying to her feelings. She sustained this
part with an ability which won the applause of the
audience, and fully justified the favourable opinions en-
tertained of her by her friends and admirers. The part
of the Duke Aranza was performed by Mr. Creswick
with his usual ability, and was loudly applauded, and
Miss Eliza Clayton, as Juliana ; Mr. Shepherd, as Rol-
lando ;Mr. H. Widdicomb, as Jaques; and Mr. Lyons, as
Count Montalban, received the well-merited plaudits of
a crowded house. Upon the whole, the comedy was
performed in a manner highly creditable to the resources
of the Surrey establishment.

LONDON LIFE ASSOCIATION.

Yesterday the half-yearly court of the members o
this association was held at their offices, 81, King Wil
Liam-street, London-bridge--IVIr. Charles Franks in the
chair. After some discussion with respect to the pro-
piety of extending the limit of a single policy from
5,0001. to 10,0001., for power to do which the associa-
tion contemplate applying to Parliament for an act to
alter the 45th clause of the Deed of Settlement—the
clause which makes the restriction,
Mr. MAsox, alleging that the members would not
have time fully to consider the occasion, moved a reso-
lution postponing the confirmation of the resolution of
the special court held on the 23d of November last,
which expressed the expediency of removing the limita-
tion ; of empowering the general courts to authorise
the directors to make assurances above 5,0001. on a
single life whenever it should appear expedient to do so ;
and of giving authority to the directors to apply to Par-
liament for an act granting the necessary pow era.
The CHAIRMAN explained that the directors only
sought the power to extend the limit of a policy on a
single life, but did not mean to go at once to the full
extent for which they asked the power. They proposed
to proceed gradually, and to have each step authorised
by the general court of members.
On a show of hands, the amendment was lost by a
large majority, and the original resolution, confirming
that of a special court, agreed to.
Mr. ALLNUTT then brought forward the report of the
auditors, from which it appeared that, on the Ist of
July last, the association had in hand from the pre-
vious audit a balance of 17,6241. 13s. 9d., which, to-
gether with dividends on 385,8001. stock of various
descriptions, interest on moneys advanced on mortgage
and policies, premiums on assurances of members, amount-
ing to 74,633/. 14s. Bd., on the assurances of persons,
not members, to the extent of 2,7501. 4s. 6d., and on those
of new members to the amount of 4,4961. 7s. 3d., repay-
ment of loans, sale of stock, and other transactions, made
the total receipts of the past year to amount to 373,334/.
10s. The expenditure, which included 69,310/. paid in
discharge of claims, 4,6981. Bs. 10d. in the purchase of
policies, 119,2201. advanced on mortgages, 12,9601. on
policies, the cost of management, the purchase of 50,000/.
stock, and other items, amounted to the sum of 360,5711.
11s. Id., leaving in hands a ISalahoe of 13,7621. 18s. id.
The annual income of the association amounted to
315,8021. 12s. 3d., and the sum at present lent on m ort-
gage and policies to 2,082,7371. is. 7d. The existing
policies numbered 4,947.
The report was unanimously adopted ; after which, a
vote of thanks was passed to the chairman and directors,
when the proceedings terminated.

FRANCE.

The movements of M. de Kisseleff have become
events of public importance. Not only did he at-

peror and Empress. But, notwithstanding this,
understand that he holds himself in readiness to
leave Paris on short notice. Since yesterday, M.
Kisseleff has begun to speak of a trip which he
1!8 n o Some intention making to Belgium, during
Which he will leave the affairs of his mission under
the care of M. Balabine and M. Tolstoi.

WEDNESDAY CONCERTS.—The programme of the con-
cert of last night was filled chiefly with ballads and
morceaux of the most popular cast, which were sung by
Mr. Augustus Braham, Mrs. Alexander Newton, Miss
Poole, Mr. Young, and other vocalists. The audience
were so well disposed to enjoy all that they heard of
this class, that the second part of the concert was well
nigh doubled in length by the frequency of the encores.
The principal instrumental incident of the evening was
the performance of Benedict's pianoforte concerto in C
by Mdlle. Madeliene Graever. This young lady who is
not altogether unknown to a London audiencehe, is
an artist of unquestionable attainment, and her efforts
last night were warmly applauded. Besides Mdlle.
Graever, Mr. Viotti Collins and Mr. George Collins
performed a duet on the violin and the violoncello, the
former contributing also a violin solo. Herr Meyer
Lutz conducted. There was a large attendance at the
concert,

OP TREVIN, WILTS.

Mr. Scotland moved for a rule for a mandamus, com-
manding the surveyors of Trevin to pay to Charles
Harrison the costs of a proceeding instituted to compel
the inhabitants of Trevin to repair a highway. It was
admitted that 721. Bs. was due to him, and an order had
been made for its payment ; but the answer was that
there were no funds. He applied under the 95th section
of the sth and 6th Wm. IV. c. 50, which provided that
the surveyors should pay costs of this description out of
a rate to be levied in pursuance of that act.
Rule nisi granted.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
ALLSOP V. BRITTAIN.-INTERPLEADER ISSUE.

This was an interpleader issue, directed to try whether
certain property seized by the sheriff on an execution
against James Johnson belonged to the plaintiff. The
property was seized at a coffee house in Blackfriars-
road. At the trial before Mr. Justice Talfourd, at the
last sittings for Middlesex, the jury found for the plain-
tiff as to all that part of the furniture which she pos-
sessed when she left Chelsea, and fur the defendant as
to the rest. Upon this finding, his lordship gave the
defendant leave to move to enter the verdict for himself.
Mr. Parry now moved pursuant to this leave, and
submitted that the plaintiff had not made out her case
that all the property was her's, and therefore the de-
fendant was entitled to the verdict. At all events, it
was contended that there must be a new trial, for the
finding of the jury furnished the court with no means
of saying for what amount a verdict for the plaintiff
should be entered, for they could not know the value of
the furniture possessed by the plaintiff at Chelsea.
The court granted a rule nisi for a new trial.

PRUSSIA.

On the 15th inst. the betrothal of Prince Charles
Nicholas of Prussia, son of Prince Charles, with
Princess Mary Anna of Auhalt, was celebrated at
Dessau. The Prince was born on the 20th March,
1828. The Princess is the daughter of the reign-
ing Duke of Anhalt-Dessau, and was born on the
14th September, 1837.

AUSTRIA.
The intentions of Austria in the event of a war,
which is now considered inevitable, may be divined
from the following short article in the Ocst. Corrc-
spondenz

" The report, which has run through the papers, that
the Imperial Royal internuncio and the Prussian Min-
ister at Constantinople had protested against the Anglo- •
French fleets entering the Black Sea, has already been
contradicted, but in order that the exact truth may be
known we add the following, :
" When the representatives of the two great German
Powers received the non-official intelligence that the
fleets were about to be sent to sea, they considered it
their duty to take measures for placing it beyond all
doubt that that step had been resolved on without
their having any hand in it (Zuthum).
"M. de Schreiner, the first dragoman of the Imperial
Royal Embassy, was therefore sent to Redschid
with written instructions, and was besides instructed to
leave a copy of them. The contents of the document
were, that the measure in question must be considered
as being beyond the agreement which the Austrian Court
had on the 12th December entered into with the Govern-
ments of France, Great Britain, and Prussia."
There are but few persons in the Austrian Em-
pire who do not heartily condemn the policy of
Russia, but it must not therefore be sup-
posed that the Austrian Government will volun-
tarily make common cause with the Western
Powers against her. Circumstances will inevitably,
sooner or latter, force Austria to play an active
part in the great drama, but for the moment
" neutrality" is her motto, and she therefore is in-
expressibly anxious to avoid giving offence to either
party. The bravery of the Russians is beyond all
question, but they in one respect much resemble
the Chinese, who attempt to terrify their enemies
by the display of all kinds of bugbears. The fleets
have no chance of returning to the Bosphorus in
such trim as they left it. The violent storms will
disable the vessels, and the Russian guns will do
the rest. It is also darkly hinted that while the
Admirals are " mooning about" in the Black Sea
without any definite object, the Russians will
strain every nerve in order to get possession of
Constantinople and the forts on the west coast of
the Straits.

A communication from Prague, Jan. 23, me'
tions that forty thousand troops (Austrian), under
Lieut. Field Marshal Clam Gallas, have been
ordered to Hungary forthwith.

AUSTRALIA.

The merchant ship Hurricane has arrived at
Portsmouth, from Australia, having made a very
rapid passage home. She left Melbourne on t,lie
3d of November. She has not touched anywhere
since, England being the first ]aud she sighted
since leaving the colony. The passage round Cape
Horn was very fine ; indeed the Hurricane appears
to be a very rapid sailer, attaining on some occa-
sions 15 knots an hour.

The Great Britain and Hellespont steamers had
arrived out safely.
This vessel has brought home a freight of gold to
the amount of 54,000 ounces, besides considerable.
quantities in the hands of passengers. The num-
ber of passengers on board is 50. A very heavy
mail was also brought home by the Hurricane, and
which, together with sonic of the passengers, was
landed in a pilot boat, the Hurricane continuing
her voyage to London yesterday afternoon, and for-
warded to London by the late train. The mail con-
sisted of 48 bags, and one box.
Trade is reported as very brisk, and the colony
very flourishing, there being no diminution in the
yield of gold. Wages continued very high, whilst
provisions were still dear.

INFANTICIDE.—Yesterday Mr. William Payne re-
sumed and concluded an inquest at the Green Man,
Old Kent-road, on the body of a male child, the mother
of which, Eliza Worrall, a single woman, had been en-
gaged as servant in the house in which the inquest was
held. The jury returned a verdict of "Wilful murder"
against Eliza Worrall, the mother of the child. The
Coroner then made out his warrant for the committal to
ewgate on that charge, but as she is too ill to be re-
moved, she will for the present remain in the custody of
the police. The foreman and jury expressed themselves
very strongly upon the want of common humanity
shown in allowing the young woman to remain from the
morning until six in the evening with her clothes on
upon the outside of the bed, with no ffre in the room.
They also commented severely on the landlord for not
calling in the nearest surgeon instead of waiting till the
afternoon for the parish surgeon.

IN RE JAMES TERRY.

The insolvent was a baker at Plumstead. He applied
to be discharged, and was opposed by Mr. Sargood for
Mr. Hills, a miller ; and Mr. Reed supported.
The insolvent supplied the Greenwich Union, and
lost by the contract. Mr. Hills supplied flour, and
was to be paid in monthly sums ; he was paid, except
the last 1161., and he resisted the payment to him, and
made an assignment for his creditors, and as Mr. Hills
refused to execute it., the money was paid into court.
The Chief Commissioner considered that Mr. Hills
had been unfairly treated, and gave judgment of six
months from the vesting order.

IN THE MATTER OF JOHN BARAISE.
This insolvent, who described himself as a dealer in
mining and other shares, was opposed by Mr. Sargood,
for three creditors named Smith, Oliver, and Robinson.
The insolvent lived in Grove-lane, Camberwell, in a
house which belonged with the furniture to his father-
in-law. The insolvent owed Mr. Smith, who is a grocer
at Camberwell, about 241. for goods, and took him a
bill of exchange for 471., which he said was as good as
the Bank of England, and given by a Mr. Clogg, of
Cornwall, who owed him money. Mr. Smith gave him
the difference, and Mr. Clogg, who was examined,
stated that it was an accommodation bill accepted, to
be discounted to pay some calls on shares. It would be
paid. Mr. Oliver was A sharebroker, and had been em-
ployed by the insolvent in some transactions, and was a
loser. The insolvent represented that he had some
Liberty shares, which were of value. Mr. Robinson
was an attorney, and the insolvent had employed him
about a patent, and incurred a debt of 201. He vaunted
that he had property, but it turned out that he bad
not, but had been a bankrupt in 1846.
Mr. Commissioner Murphy held that the debts had
been contracted in a manner little short of swindling,
and he regretted to see a person who could have main-
tained a position in society going about in a systematic
course, alleging that he had property, and contracting,
debts, as be bad done, He was bound to mark ouch

PRUSSIA.

On the 15th inst. the betrothal of Prince Charles
Nicholas of Prussia, son of Prince Charles, with
Princess Mary Anna of Anhalt, was celebrated at
Dessau. The Prince was born on the 20th March,
1828. The Princess is the daughter of the reign-
iug Duke of Anhalt-Dessau, and was born on the
14th September, 1837.
