fruit, 70 bales of skins, 73 cases of sponge, 324
drums of sultanas, 60 bags of galls, 3 tubes of

The following ships of war; transports, and
packets :r•ere at Constantinople when the Manilla
left :—The screw steamers Melbourne, Megmra,
Simoom, Golden Fleece, Victoria, and British
Queen ; the Royal Mail steamers Trent and Med-
way ; the transports No. 6 and 18 ; the barque

Baalbec, and several small merchant vessels.
On the Bth inst. the Manilla spoke the transport
ship Kenilworth, No. 40, and iJondon, No. 34, the
Asia, of Liverpool, No. 53, the Lady M‘Naughten,
and two French screw steam-ships with troops. On

From Gibraltar-we have accounts to the 18th
inst. The screw steamer Danube sailed on the 15th
inst. The British transport-ship Talavera passed
the Straits of Gibraltar to the eastward on the 16th
inst. The American steamer William Penn sailed
on the 17th for Marseilles. A Sardinian and Prus-
sian frigate passed to the westward of the Rock on
the 16th. The Gibraltar Chronicle of the 15th
inst. says:—
" Last night an easterly wind sprang up, and very
early this morning the numerous westerly-bound vessels
detained in our bay, Algeciras roadstead, and at the back
of the Rock, were in full sail, to the number of about
200. It was a magnificent spectacle to witness this vast
forest of masts, crowded with white canvas, gliding
onwards with a gentle breeze towards the Straits, making
for the Atlantic, and was no doubt highly interesting to
those who have so lately come among us, both military
and civil."
At Gibraltar, on the 17th instant, exchanges
Were quoted as follows :—At 90 days' date on Lon-
don, 514 ; Paris, sf. 36c. ; Marseilles, sf. 37c. ;

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

"VrmsTA, Monday Morning.—The night be-
fore last the Russian reply to the Austrian Note
reached Vienna.

"It is to the effect that, as a mark of high
consideration for Austria, Russia consents to eva-
cuate the Turkish territories."

Can it be that .it was in anticipation of
this announcement the Earl of ABIMDEEN ob-
served with such sinister emphasis on Monday
evening last, when speaking of Peace—"
may look to the attainment of that great object in
a shorter time than, many Noble Lords seem to
think probable." It is suspicious. A " shorter"
time ? Scarcely a week has elapsed after the
" forty years' friend" of the Emperor NICHOLAS
has given utterance to that significant
sentence of foreboding when we receive
the above abrupt intimation that the CZAR has
consented to evacuate the Principalities ! Again
we say it is suspicious.

If itlhave ever been advisable for the people o
England to be prudent and watchful, it behoves
them to be ! After the massacre of Sinope,
and a doubled income tax, and two years of
trouble and disquietude, and the prolonged
devastation of the provinces, and the fit-
ting out of enormous fleets for the Baltic
and the Euzine, and the despatch of expeditionary
armies from England and France to the seat-of-war
—is all to be hushed up through our complacently
allowing Russia to escape by the evacuation of the
Principalities? Not without infamy both to the
French and to the English Governments ! No.
The condition, of
the war are somewhat
weightier and somewhat more considerable.
Russia must be compelled to indemnity to Turks give pecuniary
y for the devastation of
the Danubian Principalities. The CZAR must
be ad
compelled to yield
__equate co the
eesnusabltiimone
for the expenses of the war not only to
,es
porfectahue_
Beyond eth4iilis
Porte, but also to
the
Ottoman Government.
tionary measures must be adopted in regard to
the future. Whether the Crimea should be re-
stored to the SULTAN, and Finland to the KING}
of Norway and Sweden, and Russia be com-
pelled to disgorge other robberies from her
immediate neighbours—must yet, of course, be
decided. But at any rate two conditions no less
remarkable than these are already quite obvious and
indisputable. Tho opening up of the river Danube
and the opening up of the Black Sea to the whole
world's navigation. Such are the manifest and
absolutely essential conditions of peace with
Russia, and not the mere evacuation of the
Principalities.

This evening the Prime Minister of England is
to favour the country with his Explanation. It
remains to be seen whether this explitkaticni"will
\ s ow
amount to a diAtinet recautatiou. tlales.s my

LIT ERAT URE.

Tilbury Nogo, or Passages in the Life of an Unsuc-
cessful Mon. By the author of "Digby Grand."
2 vols. Chapman and Hall.

These " Pas3ages in the Life of au Unsuccessful
Man" were originally published in the Sporting
Magazine, and the favourable reception they met
with has induced the author to publish them in
their present form. It is to be hoped they will
prove -a contrast to the list of failures so amus-
ingly recounted. The hero of the autobio-
graphy is seized with the desire of achieving
fame and distinction by his success and dex-
terity in field sports. In these, however, he
does not attain the celebrity he desires. A series
of untoward accidents always intervenes to defeat
his object ; and, after a long catalogue of mistakes
and mischances, ho is forced to style himself an
unsuccessful man. To add to his troubles, he
marries an attractive widow, who does not appear
so amiable and charming as Mrs. Nogo, as she
did as Mrs. Montague Forbes. Sportsmen will find
many characteristic accounts of foxhounds, harriers,
steeplechases, and such subjects, and the general
reader will not fail to be entertained by the narra-
tive which is not so technical in style as to be te-
dious to the uninitiated. It is not devoid of some
slight romance, as the introduction of the follow-
ing graceful song proves:—

subscriptions, and in future interest at the rate of 51. Ss. 4d. per cent.

Two Estates luve been purchased for this Society during the past
ye r—that at Wood-green (chiefly allotted) has been very satisfac-
tory and profitable, both to the allottees and the Society at large.
The other Estate (not yet allotted) promises to be a more successful
purchase than the flist, there being a great demand for plots upon it.
It is situated in Whnbledon-Park, in the midst of gentlemen's seats,
and is adapted for first-class villas.
There are two special advantages in this Society, viz., members
are not required to pay d ,wn any part of the price of the land prior
to choosing plots. The full amount of the shares drawn in the ballot

can be supplied with land, so that the members may have the advan-
tage of selling their drawn shares at a premium. A share in full is

THE BRITISH EXPEDITION.
Telegraphic advices dated Varna, June 15, state
that the Duke of Cambridge, with the first division
of the British army, had arrived there on the pre-
ceding day. _ _

A telegraphic despatch from the Turkish capital
dated June 15, says :
The division of Prince Napoleon is to embark
for Varna on the 18th. Generals Bosquet and
Allonville were to arrive at Adrianople on the
20th. Four thousand French and English troops
were near Schumla.

Admiral Bruat, with his squadron, is going into
the Black Sea, to take part in some great operation
of the combined fleets.

The army of Asia now numbers 70,000, com.
manded by General Guyon.
Schamyl is close to Tiflis.

STATE OF THE CRIMEA.

The Moniteur de la Flotte quotes a letter from the
Crimea of the 7th inst., announcing that a destruc-
tive fire took place on the 3d at Kherson, a fortress
of Southern Russia, situate at the entrance of the
Dnieper into the Black Sea :

"The fire commenced during the night in the pro-
vision stores, and, as the wind blew from the west with
much violence, it occasioned extensive ravages. A por-
tion of the docks was consumed, and it was feared at
one moment that the entire town would become a prey
to the flames. As there exists at the present a discon-
tent bordering on hostility against the Russians in that
country and throughout the Crimea, it was believed that
the fire had been kindled by the malcontents, the more
so as a mutiny had lately broken out among the troops
of the garrison. Major-General Slinski, the Military
Governor, caused a Humber of persons to be arrested,
and installed a court-martial, which was to sit perma-
nently. The town was in a state of the greatest desola-
tion. The trade of the country was ruined by the war,
and the population, which only lives by maritime in-
dustry, is reduced to the utmost misery. A decided
hatred prevails against the Russian Government, the
author of all those evils, and when an opportunity shall
offer, the entire province will rise in arms against its
oppressors." .

THE AUSTRALIAN COLONIES.

PLYMOUTH, Saturday.—The Prince of the Seas,
1,450 tons, Captain Brown, laden with wool and
timber, was off the Lizard on Friday, and landed a
mail at Penzance. She has 20 cabin and 30 steer-
age passengers, and sailed from Sydney on the 25th
of March, three days after the departure of the
steamship Chusan: Her passengers report that
business was not brisk at Sydney. Governor FitZ-
roy and suite were at Port Custis, to open that
new settlement for the embarkation of produce,
where land had already been making a high price,
as much as 3001. having been given. for small water
frontages. A dray road from Sydney is projected.
Gold ranges from 4/. Os. 3d. to 4/. Os. Gd. per ounce;
flour, about 301. per ton ; bread has advanced from
ls. 3h. to ls. 4d. per quartern ; beef, 41d. to 7d.
per lb. ; legs of mutton, 60 ; fresh butter (Wool-
longong), 2s. 6d. to 3s. Gd. per lb. ; Maitland
market, wholesale, 2s. per lb. ; eggs, 2s. Gd. to 3s.
per dozen ; potatoes, 3d. per b. ; vegetables very
dear. Labour is in great demand, especially for
agricultural purposes, and the settlement of respect-
able families is much retarded through the defici-
ency of good domestic servants. Labourers' wages,
10s. per day ; painters' wages have recently risen
from 12s. Gd. to 15s. ; carpenters', 20s. and 255. ;
stonemasons', 30s. ; seamen, 9/. to 10/. per month.
Those on board the Prince of the Seas will receive
50/. for the run to England. Some fears are en-
tertained of the safety of the colonies from attack
by the Russians. It is calculated that the banks
hold nearly 5,000,000/. in specie. The contem-
plated alteration of the site for the military barracks
from Sydney to Melbourne is very unpopular in
the former city.
The colonists consider it highly detrimental to
their interests that the French nation, which al-
ready possesses Tahiti, should also hold New Cale-
donia ; they are reported to have fortified it most
strongly, and to have hoisted their flag on the
Isle of Pines, with the intention of bringing all the
neighbouring islands under their dominion.
The Nile was loading wool, and would leave
Sydney about the 7th oCApril.
The steam-ship Golden Age, running between
Port Philip and Sydney, had accomplished one
passage in 40 hours. The Crcesus was hourly ex-
pected.
The Prince of the Seas rounded the Horn about
the 30th of April, and reached the Equator about
the 20th of May. North of the line she spoke the
the iritz, from Antigua, for Cork; about the 14th
of June, the 'Mary Stuart, from Porto Rico, for
Londonderry ; and on the 23d inst., 22 miles from
Scilly, the Herefordshiae, from Sydney, 10th of
March, for Landoll.

Although the amount of business doing in our market is
by no means extensive, the late advance in the quotations
is supported. The plantation accounts are still unfavour-
able, and the duty has been called 90,0001. to 95,000/.

ITALY.

The Official Journal of the Two Sicilies, of the 9th,
after recounting the fact of three political refugees,
Interdonato, Savona, and Scarperia having I•lnded
:near Messina, states that when the house in which
they were was surrounded by the armed force, they
-nevertheless contrived their escape under favour of
the darkness of the night ; but that subsequently
two of them namely, Interdonato and Scarperia,
Surrendered to the authorities of the commune of
Giardini to take their trial.
Cardinal Fornari, died suddenly at Rome, on the
15th, aged 66.
ROME, June I6.—The opinion of the Roman Go-
vernment on the Eastern question appears to be
anti-Russian, and may be seen in the selection of
news in the official journal, where the Turkish
successes figure as prominently as Russian achieve-
ments do in the Bourbonic organ of Naples, King
Ferdinand being devoted body and soul to the
Czar's cause. His Neapolitan Majesty may indeed
get into some trouble with the Western Powers if
he continues to show his partiality quite as dis-
tinctly as at present. Under pretext of the
strictest neutrality he has recently prohibited
the exportation of that great staple of Sicilian cam-
Merce, sulphur, in spite of the treaty with England,
besides horses, cattle, hay, straw (the export of
corn was already prohibited), and everything else
which by the greatest ingenuity can be construed
into contraband war stores, so that his subjects,
by the failure of last year's crops, having no oil or
Wine to export as usual, and being deprived of
other resources, find themselves reduced to a per-
fect commercial stand-still. The warlike demon-
strations of -the Papal government continue on a
striall scale on the western coast, and the diminu-
tive steamers San Giovanni and Archimede still
cruise about off Porto D'Anzio, prudently towing
a piece of cannon in a gunboat, in ordernot to en-
danger their own timbers by the concussion of a
discharge. The land forces of his Holiness have
been diminished
,by the desertion en masse of 40
Swiss soldiers from the garrison of Macerata---a
Circumstance which has not a little afflicted the
government, as showing a spirit of disaffection in
the battalions most relied upon.

SPAIN.
None of the Madrid journals appeared on the
10th, that day being Monday but a letter from
a Ministerial source says :—" Five persons arrested
'within the last few days have been sent off in a
Post-carriage, under a strong escort, for the Bal-
earic Isles, where they are to be placed at the dis-
posal of the Civil Governor. They are journalists
of a low order, and have passed all their lives in
Conspiracies. The newsmongers of the Puerta del
Sol announce that it is on the 24th of this month,
St. John's Day, that the long-talked-of insurrec-
tion is to take place. The police, however, are on
their guard, and will know how to re-establish
order, if, contrary to all serious probability, it
should be disturbed. The news from the provinces
With respect to the loan are most satisfactory ;
everywhere subscriptions are being zealously made.
London, England, 1854-06-26

WITHDRAWAL OF THE RUSSIANS FROM

BUCHAREST.

A telegraphic despatch from Vienna, in the
Moniteur, says :

" Letters from Bucharest 'of the 20th announce that
every preparation is being made there for the withdrawal
of the Russians ; the day for their movement is even
fixed for the 27th. The public treasury, the archives,
the functionaries, and the militia will, by superior orders,
follow this movement. The greatest confusion prevails
in the capital of Wallachia. Giurgevo is evacuated.
No accounts have been received from Silistria, but no
one here supposes that the siege can be continued. It
is thought that the Russians expect an offensive move-
ment on the part of Omer Pasha on the right bank of
the Danube."

According to a letter from Jassy, 16th, the ex-
port of barley and oats from Moldavia into Austria
has been prohibited.

ILLNESS OF PRINCE PASKIEWITCH.

In the Narrator, a journal published under Rus-
sian authority at Bucharest, we find the following
significant apology for the removal of Prince Pas-
kewitch

"We learn," says the Narrator, "by a letter
from Kalarash, that the Field Marshal's health,
which was very bad when he first arrived in that
town, had become much worse when he took up
his quarters on the banks of the Danube. Al-
though we are well aware that the physical con-
stitution of the celebrated Field Marshal is excel-
lent, that it is even exceptionally strong, it is, not-
withstanding quite unable to withstand the un-
healthy influence of the climate in this country. A
fever, attended with many concomitant disorders,
has rapidly increased this state of suffering, so
much so, indeed, that the Prince of Warsaw is
greatly reduced in strength, and, although there
may be as yet no actual grounds for serious alarm,
this situation is not the less on that account to be
regretted."
A letter from Jassy states that Prince Paskie-
witch will not remain in that place more than two
months, and will afterwards proceed to Warsaw.

many of his views, he will feel that the statements
may be depended on. Many of the customs of the
country are exceedingly curious, and their haws and
social regulations no 9 less so. The volume possesses
file great attraction of eight coloured plates', from
drawings by Herr Graeb of Berlin, from the
sketches of Baron Haxthausen, and his travelling
companion, Prince Paul Moven. Among the most
striking of these are, the View, of Tiflis and the
Great Mosque at Erivan. The frontispiece of the
interior of a Georgian nobleman's house, is also a
very pleasing illustration. A map of the Caucasus
is appended to the volume.

Constantinople of To-day. David Bogue.
This little work is translated from the French of
Tlieophile Gantier, by R. Gould, M.A. It is illus-
trated with engravings from photographic pictures,
which give a very excellent idea of the different
scenes represented. Lively and entertaining
sketches of the shops, the bazaars, the dancing
dervishes, the mosques, the Palace of the Bosphorus
and the surrounding scenery are scattered through
its pages. It will present to the reader a very
attractive literary panorama, of the city of the
Sultan.

Records of the Chase. by Cecil. Longman.
This volume contains Records of the Chase,
and Memoirs of Celebrated Sportsmen, illustrating
some of the usages of olden times and comparing
them with prevailing customs, with an introduction
to most of the fashionable hunting countries, and
comments. Thus it will be seen that for sporting
readers it will form a valuable work of reference
as well as an entertaining volume of amusement
and anecdote.

21remorials of the Life of Amelia Opie. By Cecilia
B righ t well. Longman.
These memoirs of this well-known and charming
writer are chiefly selected from her own letters and
diaries. The events et a long life, and the nume-
rous and distinguished acquaintances made by one
so well calculated to shine in society, and in early
life so much attached to it, present the reader with
a variety of scenes and characters full of interest
and entertainment. She was acquainted with
many of the celebrities of her own day, and on
two occasions visited Paris, where she made many
friends. After joining the Society of Friends, her
life was more retired, though she still retained her
old attachments. This work is published by her
executor, to whom all her papers were left for s
vision. His daughter has undertaken the task of
writing the memoir, which she has performed very
ably, with much simplicity of style. Long extracts
are given from Mrs. Opie's letters to her father
and intimate friends, and from a journal which she
kept at one period of her life. She was of a very
benevolent disposition. Most of her time in her
later years was taken up by works of active charity.
The present volume shows her in a most attractive
aspect, and all those who are acquainted with her
from her works will find pleasure in perusing these
memorials.
