CONSTANTINOPLE.

From Constantinople there are all sorts of odds
and ends to be communicated. The Greek conspi-
racy, of which the Russian emissary, Baron Oelsner,
was one of the principal members, was a most for-
midable affair. The plan was to raise a host of
some 60,000 Greek conspirators in various parts of
Turkey, who, at a given hour, were to put their
Turkish neighbours to the sword. According to
the correspondent of the Wanderer, the principal
blow was to be dealt in Constantinople, where the
direction of the insurrection was to be intrusted
" to a certain Plantagenet Harrison." Oelsner, who
received 1,000 piastres a month for acting as a
Turkish spy, was weak enough to unbosom himself
to a physician named Aska, who at once be-
trayed him to the authorities. One of Oelsner's
accomplices was constantinu, the captain of a
Greek vessel, who was in correspondence with
M. Metaxa. Constantinu had undertaken to find
40 Greek captains who would engage to convey
arms and ammunition to Constantinople, and to
assist in the work of death with their crews. A
Colonel Bobiuianoff was the middle man between
Oelsner and Prince Gortschakoff. It appears that,
at a soiree given by Gen. Baraguay d'Hilliers, the
Hungarian General. Klapka, was an invited guest,
and that as soon as he entered the room, all the
Austrians present, the corps diplomatique included,
went away.

Gen. Klapka has had audiences with Reschid
Pacha and Lord Stratford de Redcliffe. Rescliid
Pacha, it appears, lately told a deputation of Polish
refugees that the moment had arrived for taking
their offers into consideration, and that General
Wysocki would speedily receive a definitive answer
to his proposals. The question of nationalities can-
not be blinked much longer. If the Poles fight
against Russia, they will not, as mere hired soldiers
of fortune, for Turkey alone.

BILLS OF EXCHANGE

11/r. DIGB' SEYMOUR gave notice that on Tuesday
next be would move for leave to bring in a bill to transfer
juris,!iction over bills of exchange, fraudulently ob-
tained; from the civil to the C 7 iminal courts.
SLAVE TRADE.

Sir G. B. PECHELL asked Lord J. Rumen if any in-
formation has been received that the Government of Spain
tins issued certain decrees relative to the abolition of the slave
trade in the island of Cubs, and to its resolution to enforce
the observation of the treaties with this country ; and, if
whether the reduction of the numbarof the cruisers on
the coast of Cuba (as appears by a recent return from the.
Admiralty) has taken place with reference to those decrees?

"Lord J: 'RUSSELL-said it was quite true that such in=
formation had been received, and 'it was of a very satis-
factory nature. With. regard to the second question, the
reduction which had'taken place was only of a temporary
Character.

Mr. FIUME asked if there would be any objection to lay
the decrees on the table ?
Lord J. RUSSELL was understood to say there would
not.

MANCHESTER AND SOUTHPORT.

A meeting of this company was held immediately
after the Lancashire and Yorkshire meeting, at which
the third of the above bills was approved.

RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL, MAr 4.

. _
STOOK EXCHANGE.—The market has been flat and heavy
all day, closing with a tendency to decline. Our quota-
tions to-night are per cent. below the closing rates of
yesterday :—Eastern Counties, 12i ; Lancashire and York-
shire, 591; London and North-Western, 964 ; Dutch
Rhenish, 44.

MANCHESTER, MAY 4.
STOCK EXCHANGE.—There is ,till a very small business,
and prices are slightly lower. The sales were :—Birken-
head, Lancashire, and Cheshire Junction, 8 dis ; London
and North-Western, M. and B. Qrs. C., 5.16 dis ; Mid-
land Railway Consols, 584 4 ; South-Eastern, 17g.
London, England, 1854-05-05

driven away, and vessels will doubtlessly shortly be able
to run in.

BOLDERAA, April, 26.—Extensive masses of ice were
yesterday driven on to the coast by the N. and N.E.
wind, and not only the whole extent of the Gulf but the
roadstead also, and even a portion of the sea-channel,
ere covered with it. The stream in the river has in-

creased within these few days, hut is not sufficiently
strong to keep the ice from the roadstead. 27th.—The ice
remains unchanged ; six fresh arrivals are in sight, about
four German miles off.
London, England, 1854-05-05

SMITHFIELD.

Although the supply of beasts in to-day's market was
very moderate, the demand for all breeds ruled dull, at
barely Monday's prices. The extreme quotation for the
best Scots was 4s 6d per Sibs. We were fairly supplied
with sheep, which moved off slowly, at barely stationary
figures. There was a dull inquiry for lambs, at a decline
in the currencies of 4d per Sibs. The top figure was 6s 8d
per 81b. For calves we had a dull market, at a reduction
of 2d per Blbs. In pigs very little was doing.
Mulch cows were heavy, at front 141. to 191. each, in-
cluding their small calf.

RUSSO-DUTCHLOAY.

Lord I). STUART asked.. Lord J.. Russell, whether,
whilst this country is at war-with Russia, it is the inten-
tion of Government to furnish the Czar with the means of
carrying on the war against this countu by issuing any
sums from the British Treasury towardsjhe principal and
for the interest of the debt called the Russo-Dutch Loan,
contracted to be paid in consideration of the Russian Go-
vernment adhering- to the general arrangements of the
treaty of Vienna, one of such general arrangements being
that thenavigation of - European rivers should be free.
Lord J. RuBsELL said it was the intention of the Go-
venal:float to adhere to this obligation. (Cheers.)

ARMY PENSIONS.
Major WYNN drew- the attention of the Secretary-at-
War to the Royal warrant for rewarding non•comwis-
sioned officers and soldiers in the army, dated the 13th
day of April, 1854, and inquired why, when the term of
service after which a private soldier becomes entitled to
the good conduct medal and gratuity was reduced from
twenty-one to eighteen years in the infantry, a cor-
responding redaction should 'not have been made in
the term of service required from serjeants and
corporals, and the period lessened of ten and seven years in
these grades required to entitle serjeants and corporals to
receive the reward of their respective ranks; also to in-
quire the reason why the annual grant to each regiment is
made contingent on the numerical strength of the corporals
and privates (denominated rank and file) and not on that
of the corporals, privates, drummers, andserjeants, it being
understood that the two last-named ranks participatefully
as much in these rewards as the two first.
Mr. S. HERBERT defended the warrant, and said it
was generally approved of by the army?
London, England, 1854-07-08

SEWERS COMMISSION.

Lord PALMERSTON obtained leave to bring in a bill
to continue the Commission of Sewers for one year.
Lord PALMERSTON also obtained leave to bring in a
bill to continue the General Board of Health for two years,
and to place it under the superintendence of the Home
Secretary, under whose jurisdiction he thought that ques-
tions of national health naturally came. The plan he pro-
posed would, he said, at once create an efficient superin-
tendent of the board, and a representative of it who would
be responsible to Parliament. _ _ _

The other business was then disposed of, and the house
adjourned at a quarter before two o'clock.

RUSSIAN AGGRESSION AND EXTENSION.

The Journal de la Statistique Universelle publishes the
following table of the successive encroachments of Russia
from the 14th century up to the year 1832. It is drawn
up from communications by MM. Schmitzler, Malte-
brun, General Bern, and other statisticians :

GRAND DUCHY OF MOSCOW.

In 1503, at the death of Yvan I 37,137
In 1584, at the death of Yvan II 125,465
In 1645, at the death of Michel I.

In 1762, at the accession of Ca-
therine II 319,538 25,000,000
In 1796, at the death of Catherine II 331,850 33,000,000
In 1825, at the death of Alexander I 367,494 56,000,000
In 1831, at the taking of Warsaw
That is to say, that during the last two centuries Russia
has doubled her territory, and during the last 100 years
has tripled her population ; her conquests during 60
yeare are equal to all she possessed in Europe before
that period ; her conquests from Sweden are greater
than what remain of that kingdom ; she has taken from
the Tartars an extent equal to that of Turkey in Europe,
with Greece, Italy, and Spain ; her conquests from
Turkey in Europe are more in extent than the kingdom
of Russia without the Rhenish provinces ; she has taken
from Turkey in Asia an extent of territory equal to all
the small States of Germany; from Persia, equal to the
whole of England (United Kingdom)!; and from Poland
equal to the whole Austrian empire. A division of the
population gives-
-2,000,000 for the tribes of the Caucasus.
4,000,000 for the Cossacks, the Georgians, and the Khir-
guiz.
5,000,000 for the Turks, the Mongols, and the Tartan.
6,000,000 for the Ouralians, the Finlanders, and the
Swedes.
20,000,000 for the Moscovites (of the Greek Church).
23,000,000 for the Poles (Roman and Greek Church united),

60,000,000
The population of ancient Poland counts for two-fifths
of the total population over an eighth part of the terri-
tory, and the Muscovite population for one-third of the
total number over a tenth of the territory ; in other
words, even at the present time, the Polish element is
in a great majority as compared to all the others.

THE DESIGNS OF AUSTRIA.

The Frankfort Post Gazette which has often been em-
ployed to prepare the public for Austrian designs, says
—" Austria's geographical position imposes on her the
obligation the most effectually to operate for the restora-
tion of peace by thrusting herself in between the two
belligerent powers, by occupying the Principalities and
separating them both on the most important field. If
the Russians retire behind the Pruth the Turks and
their allies will also not pass the Danube. If we bear
in mind that both parties have gained an experience and
have lost an illusion—the Russians, the mistaken belief
in their military superiority, the Maritime Powers that
of the omnipotence of their fleets—a resumption of nego-
tiations for peace will become a necessary consequence
of the existing state of things."

HIGH TREASON TO SUBSCRIBE TO THE
RUSSIAN LOAN.
The Board of Trade of Hamburg has called the
stock-brokers of the Exchange together, and forbidden
them to quote the prices of the new Russian loan.
The British representative at Hamburg, Colonel
Hodges, has issued a warning to the British merchants
residing there not to take any Interest in the loan on pain
of being guilty of high treason. The warning is as
follows :--
"Her Britannic Majesty's Mission, Hamburg, July 3.
The undersigned, her Britannic Majesty's Charge d'Affaires
and Consul-General to the Haase Towns, having been in
formed by her Majesty's Government that it is the opinion
of the law officers of the Crown, that any subject of her
Majesty contributing to the foreign loan which the Govern-
ment of Russia proposes to contract, or have lately con-
tracted, or to a loan raised on behalf of a sovereign at war
with Great Britain, will be guilty of high treason as ad-
hering to the Queen's enemies ; and the undersigned,
having been so instructed, hereby accordingly makes the
same known to all of her Majesty's subjects residing in the
Hanse Towns, or parts belonging thoreto.— (Signed) G.
LLOYD HODGES."

THE ESCAPED RUSSIAN INDIAMAN.
HAMBURG, July 4.—The Russian East Indiaman, the
Czarowitch, which was expected to arrive in the Channel,
and to intercept which three or four English steamers
were despatched to cruise in the Channel, arrived yes-
terday at C shaven (mouth of the Elbe), and is expected
up here next tide. The captain heard of the declaration
of war at sea, and came north about, thus evading his
p ursuers. If the Tartarus had been at Heligoland she
would not have failed to pick up the Russian, which
most have proved a rich prize, as she has on board a val-
uable cargo of silk and tea from China, worth A Iniilioll

'he whole question of ecclesiastical jurisdiction. .1-le,
however, meant to go on with the Divorce Bill, which
could he easily dealt with separately, and which, if
passed, would effect a very necessary and much-desired
improvement in the existing law.

SEWERS COMMISSION.

Lord PALMERSTON obtained leave to bring in a bill
to continue the Commission of Sewers for one year.
Lord PALMERSTON also obtained leave to bring in a
bill to continue the General Board of Health for two years,
and to place it under the superintendence of the Home
Secretary, under whose jurisdiction he thought that ques-
tions of national health naturally came. The plan he pro-
posed would, he said, at once create an efficient superin-
tendent of the board, and a representative of it who would
be responsible to Parliament.

The other business was then disposed of, and the house
adjourned at a quarter before two o'clock.

ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON.—At a monthly
general meeting held yesterday at the society's house in
Hanover-square, Mr. W. J. Broderip, F.R.S., vice-
president, in the chair, the council reported that they
had been honoured with authority to enrol the names of
his Majesty the King of Portugal and of his Royal
Highness the Duke of Oporto as members of the society.
The report also stated that the visitors to the gardens
during the month of June had amounted to 82,463, pre-
senting an increase of 26,313 over the corresponding
month of 1853. The most important addition to the
collection since the last meeting was reported to be two
magnificent specimens of Felis Macroscelis, one of the
moat graceful and beautifully-coloured species of the cat
tribe, obtained from Assam. The following elections
took place :—Miss Welch, Messrs. T. Hobhouse, E. V.

THE WOOLLEN TRADE.

(From the Leeds Mercury of this day.)
LEM, July 7.—The woollen trade of Leeds continues
in a good and healthy state ; there was an excellent
market last Saturday. On Tuesday there was a fair
average business done in the coloured Cloth-hall,
but the white market was rather quiet. Stocks continue
without any material alteration, but within a moderate
compass. The trade in the warehouses is steady, and on
the whole good.
HUDDERSFIELD, July 4.—The market to-day was not
considered to be different from those of a week or two
past. The warehouses continue to carry on business in
a fair but not over buoyant manner. Prices unaltered,
and said to be firm.
ROCHDALE, July 3.—We had a most sluggish market,
differing very little from those of the three past weeks,
either in price or demand. The wool market continues
inactive, with very little doing, but prices are firm.
BRADFORD, July 6.—A shade more doing in wool,
and the stocks in the market have materially increased,
although the spinners buy very cautiously and sparingly.
A little more doing in reeled yarns for shipping, but the
prices offer no inducement to spinners, although the
stocks are small. In spools there is little doing. The
demand for pieces is healthy.
HALIFAX, July I.—The yarn and piece markets are
much as last reported, and are expected to keep firm.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER.—FamaY.
We have no improvement to report in the betting
market, but there have been a few changes. For the
Liverpool Cup, yesterday, Dr. O'Toole receded 10 to 1,
and Heapy to Bto 1. To-day the former was supported
at Bto 1, whilst the latter was friendless. Marc An-
tony and Early Bird were introduced, 100 to 6 being
the odds laid. We have no change to notice in the
Goodwoed Stakes betting.

rying his flag on board the Jeanne d'Arc frigate, was at

placed at the disposal of the ship.

These Atlases lay claim to a degree of accuracy and an amount of

have been constructed with a special view to the purposes of sound
instruction, and are not copied from any existing Atlas : hence they
will he found free from the common faults of overcrowding asd con-
fabdon with which so many School Atlases are ju,tly chargeable. ity
means of a new process of pl °Auction, the ma's combine the accu-
racy and n atness of the highest style of engraving with a mechani-
cal application of colours, the effect of which is to secure a clearness
correctness, and elegance, unappro ached by former methods.

They are as superior t All School Atlas es within our knowledge
as were the larger works of the sa.ce author in advance of those that

never came under our observation.

SCOTSMAN.

The plan of these atlases is admirable, and the excellence of the
plan 14 rivalled by the beauty of the execution.. . . T e best
security for the accuracy and substantial value of a School Atlas is
to have it from the hands of a man I,ke our author, who has per
fected his skill to, the execution of much larger works, and gained a
char ,cter which he will ,se careful not to jeopardise by at,aching his
cause to anything that is crude, slovenly, or ,up,rficial.

STATE OF TRADE.

(prom the Manchester Guardian of this day.)

•
DlANcEtzsm, July 7.—ln our market there was on
Tuesday a very fair inquiry for reeled yarns, by the
German and Mediterranean merchants, who would
have bought considerably more than they did had they
not been checked by the extreme prices required,
which, for some articles, were still inclining upwards.
At the same time, the India houses were buying
freely from spinners, who obtained higher prices for 40's
mule, and also for 60s and upwards. But the goods
market was inanimate, though prices remained firm for
the most part, the buyer having hardly 3 perceptible
advantage even in the lighter fabrics for India, which
were much neglected. This state of the goods market
increased that slackness in purchasing yarns for home
consumption, which the rise in prices had previously
occasioned ; in the quotations, however, there was no
change.
BRADFORD, July 6. Wool—There is a shade more
doing, and the stocks in the market are not materially
increased. Noils and brokes are steady in demand at
late prices. Yarns—There is something more doing in
buying reeled yarns from stocks for shipping, but the
prices at which they are selling offers no inducement to
spin. Pieta—The demand is more healthy.
LEICESTER, July 6.—There are indications of an im-
provement in the demand. Worsted spinners continue
to produce very cautiously.
