DEESIDE.

This line was opened for goods and passenger traffic
on Wednesday. The directors invited a large party,
I including the magistrates of the city, to meet them at
the Aberdeen station of the Aberdeen Railway at 12
o'clock, and soon after started for Banchory, with a
train of 14 carriages, the engine being decorated with
flags and flowers. A. large concourse of spectators were
assembled at the station, and cheered the train warmly
as it passed on to the main line. The train then passed
along the banks of the Dee at a rapid rate, and through
some fine scenery. At most of the gentlemen's seats
along the line flags were flying, and at various stations
and convenient openings crowds of the country people
were gathered to witness the progress of the iron racer
and cheer the party on. The train arrived at the ter-
minus at Banchory, at 1 o'clock, where as immense
crowd had assembled to welcome it, and where arrange-
ments were made for celebrating the opening in a
style in every way worthy of the occasion. The di-
rectors and their friends, to the number of 180 walked
in procession through the village with music and ban-
ners, returning to a pavillion erected for their accom-
modation, where an excellent collation was provided.
Mr. J. Duncan, the chairman of the company, pre-
sided. The usual loyal and other appropriate toasts
were drunk,and responded to, in the course of which it
was stated, that the cost of the line would not exceed
5,000/. per mile, which was not one-sixth of the average
cost per mile of the Scottish lines of railway.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]--Holloway's Ointment and Pills
certain and efficacious Remedies for the Cure of Wounds
and Abscesses.—The following case has just been for-
warded to Professor Holloway for publication :—Mrs.
Robert Harris, of Stapleburst, Kent, some time since
caught a severe cold, which brought on a long and pain-
ful illness. She was attended by several eminent medi-
cal men with littlel'or no benefit, and ultimately an ab-
sce3s formed under the chin. All the usual remedies
having failed to give her the slightest relief, she deter-
mined on using Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and
these surprising medicines entirely cured the abscess,
and restored her to better health than she ever
before enjoyed.—Sold by all druggists, and at Profes•
sor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.

ST. LEGER SUGGESTIONS.
Recent movements in the turf market have occasioned
neither curiosity nor interest. West Australian is still
supported with unshaken confidence, and almost en-
grosses speculation. His opponents appear to be di!'
couraged, and they now display their hostility in words
only, and not in deeds. The most important of recent
transactions are perhaps those relative to the Reive.,
who has been brought with increased price and prowl'
nency into the betting. He commands, however, only
a limited number of partisans, and by the public he is
totally neglected. Still, sanguine expectations are en"
tertained of his success, but I am disinclined to believe
in the boasted formidableness of his chance. Ilie first
public performance as a two-year-old undeniably indicat
that he possessed racing power, which merely required
time and careful training to develope advantageousl9,,
Since last year he has been most unfortunate ; and, 11
report be true, he has been afflicted with nearly all the
ills that horseflesh is heir to. Still, however, it is said,
on good authority, that he has now recovered his Prisii
tine health and condition ; but even granting the fu
force of all the arguments that may be adduced in or
port of his pretensions, it yet remains to be seen whe:
ther he is capable of competing successfully with either
West Australian or Sittingbourne, animals that sr:
sound and well, and of proved racing excellence.
rumour is in circulation to the effect that the Beller
was yesterday tried with Teddington !
Cineas and Rataplan have figured at intervals in the
betting, but the investments on them have been comp''
ratively unimportant. Both possess merit of no ordinspr
stamp, but their respective chances appear somewhat le'
significant when compared with those of Sittingbouril.
and West Australian. Honeywood, Filbert, and CA)"
nut are reported certain starters, but unless some sec'
dent happen to the leading favourites, they are little
likely to figure conspicuously in the encounter.
The relative merits of West Australian and Sittig'
bourne have, in my opinion, been pretty
accurately de:
termined by their public performances. It requires 11°
conjuror to foretell the result of the St. Leger; it tvi*s
plainly foreshadowed by the result of the Derby.
Little interest at present attaches to the Great Yet;
shire Handicap, and on one or two horses only haveoutlays been heavy and important. Haco is the "'—
favourite, and the lightness of his weight will doubtless
render him a dangerous antagonist. On Monday I 614
e,
fully state my opinion on the probable result of the toe
and enter into a brief discussion of the minor even,ts'
Sept. 10. A FRESH MAN'
London, England, 1853-09-10

AUSTRIA.

The Russian reply to the dispatch containing
the modifications of the Porte is expected at
Vienna on the 9th or 10th inst. The Russian
Cabinet is not likely to object to any of these modi-
fications, excepting the one referring to the treaties
of Kainardji and Adrianople.
To prevent further complications, the Austrian
Government, supported by the Ambassadors of the
great Powers, has proposed the opening of direct
negotiations on the points in dispute. These ne-
gotiations are to be conducted by the Count Nes-
selrode and the Ottoman Ambassador, who is to be
sent to St. Petersburg. This proposal, it is
thought, will be accepted by the litigant parties.
The Russian Ambassador asserts that the evacua-
tion of the Principalities will shortly commence,
and that in any case the Russians will not pass the
winter in those provinces.
The Emperor of Austria has decreed that a rail-
way shall be constructed from Verona to Besanzone
in Lombardy, under the superintendence of the
Minister of Commerce. It is ordered to be com-
pleted by May, 1857.
The Emperor returned to Vienna on the even-
ing of the 3d inst., accompanied by his future
father-in-law, Prince Louis of Bavaria.

THE LAND REVENUES OF THE CROWN.—Among the
acts of last session was one to facilitate the redemption
of certain charges on the hereditary possessions and
land revenues of the Crown. It seems that by letters
patent and a deed in the reign of Charles the Second,
and by other " ways and means," perpetual pensions,
some of which were under 10/., were given to eclesias-
cal persons, and they are still payable on certain feasts
of the Church, and charged on the land revenues of the
Crown. The object of this act is to clear off a number
of small pensions, which may now, with the consent of
the ecclesiastical commissioners, be sold to the Crown.
The others are to be paid in April and November in
each year, and not on the feasts specified by the grants.
THE PARIS EXHIBITION, 1855.—The following notice
to English artists, dated Marlborough House, Septem-
ber 9, and signed jointly by Mr. Henry Cole and Pro-
fessor Playfair, has just been issued.—" Tho Board of
Trade has received information from the Secretary for
Foreign Affairs, stating that the French Ambassador
has communicated to him that a Universal Exhibition
of the Fine Arts is to take place at Paris, in May, 1855,
at the same time as the Exhibition of Industry, The
French Government expresses a desire that this Exhibi-
tion may be as complete
inas possible, and that its organi-
sation may be arranged a manner to give satisfaction
to every nation invited to assist in it. The artists'
works will be forwarded gratuitously to Paris, and the
arrangement of them will not entail any expense on the
artists exhibiting. Information of further arrange-
ments will be afforded as soon as they are made."

BANK OP BRITISH NORTH AMERICA.—The dividend
declared yesterday at the meeting of the Bank of British
North America was at the rate of 6 per cent., and the
report and accounts were unanimously adopted. The
whole of the discussion related to the favourable posi-
tion of business ; the advantages which it is anticipated
will be derived from the supplemental charter authoris-
ing a small note circulation ; and to the general financial
progress of the colonies in which the operations of the
bank are carried forward. _

ALARMING FIRE AT A. LICENSED VICTIJALLER'S.—Yes
terday morning, shortly before three o'clock, a fire of a
very alarming nature, and nearly attended with a serious
loss of life, broke out in the premises belonging to Mr.
R. Downing, licensed victualler, known as the Dyers'
Arms Tavern, situate at No. 7, Webb-street, Bermond-
sey-street, Southwark. The fire commenced, from some
cause that could not be ascertained, in the bar, at which
time the whole of the inmates were in their beds asleep.
The police having awakened the various residents, they
fortunately succeeded in effecting a safe retreat from the
burning house. The escapes of the Royal Society for
the Protection of Life from Fire were soon on the spot.
as well as the London Brigade and West of England
engines. A plentiful supply of water having been pro
cured from the mains of the Southwark Company, th 4
brigade went to work, and succeeded in extinguishing
the flames. but not until the valuable contents of the
bar were 'nearly destroyed, the building considerably
damaged by heat, and the remainder of the contents
severely injured by water and smoke. The sufferer, we
are happy to say, was insured in the Alliance Fire-office.
Three other fires occurred during the night, viz., one at
9, Oxford-street, Hackney-road ; another at 49, High-
street, Shadwell ; and the third at 28, Great Windmill•
street, Haymarket, but the damage done at each was so
trifling as not to merit further notice.
