THE PENINSULAR MAIL.

SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY NIGHT.
The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-
ship Tagus has arrived with the usual Peninsular
s.

Her dates are :—Gibraltar, 15th of October ;
Cadiz, 16th ; Lisbon, 19th ; and Vigo, 20th.
She had on board 41 passengers, and her freight
consists of 30 packages of specie, and the usual cargo
of eggs, lemons, rai,ins, &c.
From Lisbon we learn that exchange was quoted
at 54i at 30 days' sight, and 54i at 90 days. Had
not the Bank of Portugal purchased many bills it
would have been higher. Inscriptions, 38.
At Q orto exchange was 55 to 551, with few
transactions.

TEE THEATBES.

OLYMPIC.

A new drama, in two acts, entitled The Trustee, was
produced last night at this house, evidentty of French
extraction, but which has been very cleverly adapted to
to the peculiar talents of the company, and working
capabilities of tke theatre with success. The slight nia•
terials of the story are skilfully put together, and the
powerful acting of Mr. Wigan, as the principal character,
excited an intensity of interest almost painful in several
of the scenes.

THE "COMING" CAPTURE

SEBASTOPOL

WILL BE PUBLISHED IN AN

EXTRAORDINARY
EDITION
London, England, 1854-10-24

AUSTRIA.

A private despatch, received on the 19th from
Bucharest, stated that the bombardment of Sebas-
topol had positively commenced on the 13th inst.,
and that 200 pieces of heavy artillery were doing
the work of destruction so admirably that it was
thought impossible the place could hold out above
four or five days longer. Further particulars were
not added. This despatch was received in high
quarters from a most trustworthy source.
VIENNA, Oct. 21.—The Lloyd announces that a
conference took place on the 20th, at the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs, on the last note of Prussia.
This conference (adds the Lloyd) is little calculated
to give auy hope of a union of the German Powers.
The dissidence goes on increasing. It would be
much better not to have any alliance than such a
one as is proposed by Prussia. Austria must act,
and a decisive step on her part will take place. The
Fremden Blatt confirms the news of the bombard-
ment of Sebastopol having commenced on the 13th,
with 200 pieces of cannon.
In the conference spoken of by the Lloyd the
persons present were Count Buol and the French
and English ambassadors. There is every reason
to expect that a decisive step will take place very
shortly.
A report is current, but under reserves, that the
principal Austrian generals who had been convoked
to a council of war have decided that it would be
advisable to assemble a corps d'armee on the fron-
tiers of Bohemia.

The Wanderer of Vienna, of the 17th, says :
"The following information has been communicated
to us concerning the autograph letter of the Empe-
ror of Austria to the King of Prussia, at the same
time as the note of Sept. 30. The letter, called
forth by the despatch of Count Buol, relates to the
present state of the nogotiations between Austria
and Prussia, and points out at considerable length
the necessity of an intimate union of all the Ger-
man governments, and, in particular, of Austria
and Prussia."

IN RE MORRIS.
This bankrupt was described as of Sohan, Cambridge-
shire, ironmonger, gas manufacturer, &c., and to-day
was appointed for his last examination.
• The accounts made out by Messrs. Robinson and
Knowles were of a very complicated nature, as he had
carried on trade at several places, solely and in partner-
ship—he was proprietor and Manager of the Sohan Gas
works, and was agent and manager at Ely, Sohan,
March, Chatteris, and Newmarket, for Messrs. Harvey
and Hudson, bankers, Norwich.
The balance-sheet extends from the Ist. Jan., 1851,
to October, 1853, and shows debtor to creditors un-
secured,,i 1,408/. 2s. 7d. ; to Hugh Evans (holding se-
curity on the Gas Works), 2001. ; to Henry Beatley,
349/.. 3s, 10d. ; liabilities as a partner with Henry
Beatley, 3,1801. Os. 3d. ; profits, 1,676/. 16s, 2d. ;
creditor by good debts, 212/..; property, 6771. 13s. 3d ;
losses, 1,155/. 14s. 11d. ; bank agency expenses,
5671. 19s. 3d. ; trade expenses, 374/, 12s. ; personal,
8031. The bank agency was terminated in September,
1853, the bankrupt-receiVing 3001. by way of compen-
s:ltion, on undertaking not to join any other bank within
thirty miles of Ely.
An application was made for a short adjournment
for the convenience of counsel, which was granted.

TESTIMONIAL TO COL. ASPINWALL.

The following address from the leading London firms
engaged in large financial or commercial transactions
with the United States has been presented, together
with a service of plate, together vs ith a service of plate,
to Colonel Aspinwall, by whom the office of American
Consul in London has been honourably filled for thirty-
seven years, and who is now returning to his country.
In his reply Colonel Aspinwall took the opportunity of
testifying that in the long period of his duties he has
never known a well authenticated case of distress for
the relief of which he has not instantly had ample co-
operation from the London merchants in the American
trade, and he accepts their parting tribute to his course
as another addition to the many daily proofs of the
mutual esteem and respect subsisting between the two
kindred nations :

" Dear Sir,—Having been informed that you are about
to return to your native country, we cannot allow you
to depart without offering you the expression of our sin-
cere esteem and regard, and we avail ourselves of the
occasion to tender you our best thanks for your uniform
courtesy and kindness in all our intercourse with you
during the long period in which you have filled the im•
portant post of Consul-General of the United States in
this city. You have administered the arduous duties of
your office with dignity, ability, and integrity unim-
peached ; you have lent a willing and patient attention to
appeals for relief in all cases of distress, granting freely
your counsel and your money, inviting others to aid you
when needful. Wishing to mark our sense of your
merits, and of the efficiency with which you have dis-
charged your duties, by some lasting memorial, we re-
quest your acceptance of a service of plate, and permit
us at the same time to offer our best wishes for the future
health and happiness of yourself and of your family.

LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.

THE WAR IN THE EAST.
REPORTED DEFEAT OF THE TURKS AT
KALAFAT.—ANTICIPATED MARCH OF
THE RUSSIANS FOR CONSTANTINOPLE.
The Morning Herald, in a second edition to-day,
makes the following important statement :

We are enabled to state that a special messenger,
who travelled with the utmost expedition direct
from the seat of war, arrived last evening at the
Foreign-office with despatches of the very last im-
portance. These were immediately forwarded to
her Majesty at Buckingham Palace. The Queen
was just leaving for the theatre, but, in conse-
quence, detained the Royal carriages for upwards
of three-quarters of an hour. From what we can
gather, we fear that a dreadful reverse has over-
taken the Turkish arms, being no less than the
capture by the Russian army of Kalafat, the key
and the chief position of the Sultan's forces on the
Danube, and we understand that almost a total
massacre of its defenders took place, and unless
checked by the extraordinary interposition of Pro-
vidence, the hordes of the Autocrat may be at this
moment on the high road to, if not in actual pos-
session of, Constantinople. There is and can now
be no mistake. This news has even brought
Lord Aberdeen to his senses, and henceforth he
must admit that nothing but war to the knife
against the Czar can atone for the atrocities he has
committed.

[We shall use our utmost endeavour to obtain
either a contradiction or a confirmation of the above
appalling intelligence, and trust, for the sake of
humanity, as well as for the honour of France and
England, that it has at least been exaggerated.—
Ed. Sun.]

DENMARK AND SWEDEN.

It is said that in reply to the declaration of the
Russian Government that it could not accept or re-
cognise the announcement of a policy of neutrality
on the part of Sweden, the Swedish Government
replied that they can make no change in that policy,
and are prepared to defend it—and have com-
menced defensive preparations accordingly. The
Russian Government has re-opened negotiations,
which are still pending, but without prospect of
any altered result, as the Governments of Swe-
den arid Denmark are entirely decided and united
in policy. Should the Russians not recognise
their neutrality, it is believed that they will at
once join the alliance of the Western Powers. The
whole spirit of the northern populations, that of
Norway included, is strongly opposed to Russia,
and in favour of England and France.

SPAIN.
There were vague reports at Madrid, on the 2d.,
of a difference having arisen between England and.
Spain, and of the expected recall of M. Isturitz to
Madrid. The persons expelled from Spain and
sent to Cadiz are to be transported to the Canary
Islands.

ST. PETERSBURG.—The letters from St. Petersburg
to the 27th ult., and confirm the report of prohibitionthe
that vessels at
of the export of grain. It seems, however,
Odessa loaded or loading will be allowed. to leave with
their cargoes. The other political news indicates extensive
preparations for war, and great reports are still circu-
lated of patriotic contributions from individuals.
BILL STAMPS.—The alteration proposed by the Chan-
cellor of the Fxchequer with regard to bill-stamps--
namely, the substitution of an ad valorem scale at the
rate of 3d. for 251. in place of the present rates, prohi-
bitory on small bills and light on large ones, has long
been desired by the great mass of traders. They
have looked for it, however, with little hope, owing
to the small probability of its being recommended or
countenanced by the great houses likely to be con-
sulted on the matter, to whom the existing system
gave a sort of monopoly of the money-market.
Under these circumstances, therefore, the introduction
of the measure is regarded with great satisfaction, as an
act in which the interests of the public at large have
alone been consulted. At the same time, the advantage
to the commercial world generally, from the simplicity
of the new scale, and the introduction of adhesive in
place of die stamps, will be exceedingly great, not only
by removing all inconvenience din procuring them, but
also by preventing the mistakes constantly occurring
from the use of stamps of wrong amount.
THE NEW BUILDINGS IN BROAD-STREET.—The build-
ings now going up with great rapidity on the site of the
Excise-office are for chambers. These are being erected
under the superintendence of Mr. Tite and Mr. E. N.
Clifton, by Messrs. Piper. They will all be fire-proof. A.
small steam-engine has been set to work to mix the
mortar and to grind the mortar and rubbish of the old
brickwork to make the new mortar. The site is about
one acre and a quarter, and was bought by ten gentle-
men, who are erecting the buildings in question, for
108,2001. The buildings themselves will east; perhaps,
another 100,000/.—Tlts Builder.

SHERI-EFS' COURT-(THIS DAi7.)

AN ARBITRATION CASE.—STAIGER V. RYAN.
This was an action to recover the sum of 101., for
work done by the plaintiff as a civil engineer and me--
chanical draughtsman.
The plaintiff proved the work done, and contended
that the charges were fair and reasonable.
The defendant said that the matter had been referred
to an accountant to s3ttle up the accounts, and there
was only 71. 10s., and produced an acknowledgment to
that effect'signed by the plaintiff, and that balance was
settled:
The plaintiff, who is a foreigner, said he did not know
that he was signing for 17/.--he did not know how it
was settled, as he left it to a person named Campion,
whom he had caused to be summoned here, but was not
in attendance.

His Honour directed him to b 3 called in the usual
manner, but he did not appear.
A witness was called and proved that both plaintiff
and defendant were present when the arrangement was
come to.

His Honour said that if people would sign whatever
was put before them they must take the consequences
—the defendant was entitled to a verdict. Camphion,
however, should be summoned to show cause why he
did not appear on the present occasion, and if his evi-
dence was material for the plaintiff he (his Honour)
would grant a new trial.
