LONDON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1854.

The Treaty with Austria, or " Triple Alliance,"
as it has been termed, is the all-absorbing topic
of the day. What are the terms and conditions
agreed en by the representatives of the Western
Powers ? Are they sufficiently stringent to bind
t"ir slippery friend, and leave no loop-hole for
escape, from whence he may contrive to wriggle
out at the very moment when his co-operation
is required—and when in consequence of its
forming an element in the calculation the want
of it may prove a serious injury to France and
England ? Are renewed propositions to be made
to the AUTOCRAT, and any additional time to be
wasted in waiting for his replies ? But, above
and beyond all, is there any guarantee to pre-
serve the integrity of the Austrian dominions, or,
in other words, to take the place formerly occu-
pied by Russia, in coercing the Poles and Mag-
yars, and in keeping the Italian States from as-
serting their independence ?
These questions are eagerly asked in every
quarter, and by men of all classes in society.
Those who never before took an interest in
foreign politics are now thoroughly excited, and
craving for authentic information on matters for-
merly disregarded, or looked to with comparative
indifference. Nor is it surprising that it should
be so. They have seen enough of the vacillation
and duplicity of Austria to render them exceed-
ingly suspicious as to any matters to which she
is a party, and to consider it by no means impro-
bable that our rather verdant Diplomatists, who
exhibited such striking proofs of their stolidity
in a former " Treaty of Vienna," might again
have suffered themselves to be outwitted by their
eery sharp and by no means over-scrupulous dip-
lomatic brethren. The dread of another " Holy
Alliance," another " combination," we had almost
said "conspiracy," against liberty widely prevails,
and hence the great anxiety for trustworthy tidings
on these interesting points.
This very natural curiosity must, however, re-
main unsatisfied for some days, so far, at least, as
official explanations are concerned. It is " too
dainty a dish" for any palate less '
aristocratic thais
that of Parliament. The fact of h •
having some-
thing to tell that may relieve the monotony of
the proceedings, and give aomething to repay
the parties, convened at an unusual period, the
trouble and inconvenience they may be put to, is
quite sufficient to induce Ministers to maintain
the mystery so long as it is practical2le to do so.
They may also reckon in some degree on the effect
of surprise. If the terms be more favourable
than had been anticipated, a beneficial diversion
would be created ; while if, on the other hand,
avoid they were less acceptable, they would the
strict and searching examination of the " Fourth
Estate," from which Honourable Gentlemen do

TIIE PATRIOTIC FUND.

ROTHEIMAIL—On Wednesday last a public meeting,
convened by the Greave of the Fooffees, was held in the
Court-house, Rotherham. The chair was occupied by
C. Nightingale, Esq. A motion was made, expressive
of the sympathy felt by the meeting for our gallant little
band in the Crimea. T. B. Bosvile, Esq., proposed that
the best mode of evincing such gratitude was by giving
effect, in the greatest possible extent, to the provisions
contained in the Royal Commission for securing, reliev-
ing, and educating those families of our soldiers, sailors,
and- marines who have lost their lives in battle or by
the casualties of war. Seconded by G. W. Chambers,
Esq., and passed aces. con. A committee was then
organised, composed of the clergy and magistrates of
Rotherham, to arrange the collections, which are to be
deposited in the Rotherham Bank. The operatives of
the various works were solicited to canvass amongst
their fellow-workmen. Gentlemen came forward and
subscribed 2201. The ladies of this neighbourhood
have been active in sending numerous parcels, contain-
ing linen, to Messrs. Guest and Chrimes, who forward
them to the East.

CHESTERFIELD.—On Saturday last the workmen em-
ployed at Messrs. Beal and Co.'s Iron-works at New-
bold, near Chesterfield, collected among themselves the
sum of 19/.

SPAIN .

There is nothing of very great importance in the
Madrid journals of the 2d. The bureaux of the
Congress had nominated a committee of seven
members to draw up the address in reply to tke
speech from the throne. The Espana says that
M. Allende Sallazar, the Minister of Marino,
has given satisfactory explanations to the
Council of Ministers on his monarchical sentiments
and his determination to support the dynasty of
Queen Isabella. Several lawyers had undertaken
to assist M. Coruna in defending Queen Chris►tiva,
and ono of them had left for Paris to have an in-
terview with her Majesty. Two of the deputies
who voted against the declaration in favour of the
dynasty in the Cortes had resigned places they
held in the Ministry of the Interior and the Royal
Industrial Institution ; their names arc M. Chao
and M. Alfonso. M. Guardamino had been nomi-
nated Under-Secretary of State in the department
of War and Justice.

A NEW MORTAR GUN.

On the evening of the 6th instant, Captain Sir Thos.
Maitland, R.N., Colonel Jones, of the Royal Artillery,
with several other officers, arrived at Sheerness for the
purpose of witnessing the trial of a new mortar gust
adapted for ship use or for siege purposes. They pro-
ceeded out yesterday in the steam-tender Wildfire, E.
Brockman, master-commander, and steamed down off
Shoebury Sand, the lighters Si*bad, from Portsmouth,
and the Drake, from Woolwich (filled with the mortars 1
in the main hold placed on platforms, under which were
Indiarubber cushion platforms), preceding them. At
about ten a.m. the Commander-in-Chief, Vice-Admiral
the Hon. W. Gordon, proceeded out in the steam-vessel
Myrtle, W. S. Bourchier, master-commander, and on
the arrival of the gallant admiral the experiments com-
menced, all of which being of a strictly private nature,
it would be injudicious to give any of the various re-
ports circulated. However, certain it is, they were of a
very satisfactory nature to the practical officers present.
Although the lighters were anchored close over on the
north side of the entrance to the river Thames, the shock
of each shell bursting was such as to produce a perfect
vibration on board of vessels afloat in our harbour, and
even in boats alongside our pier. The practice of the
experiment was concluded in time for Captain Sir
Thomas Maitland R.N., Colonel Jones, R.A., &c., to
leave for London, via the North Kent Railway 7 min.
train.

The nomination for this borough is fixed for Monday
next. The candidates, Major J. Haythorne Reed (Libe-
ral) and Mr. J. T. Norris (Liberal) are both confident
of success, but the number of unpledged Conservatives
makes the result a matter of uncertainty. However,
a project promptly started and vigorously pursued by
thetl t:wgallantngearmatjltyir' immediately upon r.scerttining that
needed a railway, of forming a branch

Tt is currently reported in Paris to-day that Prussiai

at her old tricks again. She is to adhere to the treati
of alliance signed by Austria. It will be remembered
that when the four guarantees were first proposed 5118
opposed them all. Finding that she had no chancei
against all, she conceded two, and made a stand ag3ing_6
the other ; but ultimately, having ascertained Oa
Austria was determined to carry all, 'whether she coif
sented or not, she at length intimated her acceptance!
the whole four. So it is now ; Prussia has done all 5,'1.1
could to prevent the conclusion of the treaty. Findlli,„'
that to be impossible, she will very probably adherarZ
it in the hope of acting as a drag upon Austria. 3mi
Hanover Gazette says that a copy of the treaty was OP;
to the Berlin Cabinet on Nov. 28, and infers from thi.
fact that Prussia will join in it.

THE WAR IN ASIA.

A letter from Kars, 17th ult., in the Moniteur,
says : " A few days since, it was announced by the
advanced posts that the enemy had quitted his
position of Indge-Dere. A patrol which had been
sent on a reconnaissance confirmed this information.
The Russians, threatened by Schamyl on the side
of Tiflis, and fearing a second attack from the
Ottoman army, had in fact fallen back on their
centre, abandoning their tents, and a quantity of
barley and biscuit sufficient to supply the Turkish
advanced guard for a week. The Russians have
since established their camp near Gumri, at the
place where the Kartschai falls into the Arpatchai.
From information received, it appears that the
enemy lost 8,000 men and 3,000 horses, in the
last battle, and two generals have since died of
their •sounds. One battalion of grenadiers, which
was 1,000 strong at the commencement of the
combat, had only 160 left after it. The enemy
was so weakened and demoralised that it felt in-
capable of sustaining a second attack. The Turks,
on the contrary, who had been reinforced by fresh
recruits from the Diarbekir only wait the arrival
of Ismail Pacha to resume the offensive."

THE BALTIC.
The following telegraphic communication has
ust been received :

- -
" BERLIN, Sunday.
" The French Admiral Deschenes has received
orders at Kiel to collect his ships in Kiel harbour,
and to take them back to the Gulf of Finland.
" The 'Turkish Minister at Vienna received in-
formation last night that Sebastopol has been.
taken.
" The details are unknown."

NYBORG, Oct. I.—The French steam corvette
Heron, having in tow the French line of battle ship
Jemappes, passed here yesterday. Orders having
arrived to-day, the French ships generally passed
the Belt to rendezvous at Gottenburg. It is said a
number of English ships rendezvous.

MARKET .NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCIT A.NGE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday wore but
moderately supplied with wheat. Selected samples were
in good request, at very full prices. Low and middling
parcels sold slowly, at late rates. Barley moved off steadily,
at extreme currencies. In the value of other grain, in-
cluding flour, very little change took place.
The continental markets have ruled steady for all articles,
and good heavy wheats have produced rather more money.
Our latest advises from New York satate that flour was dull
and dreoping.

Very moderate supplies of English grain were received
up to our market last. week. The imports of foreign
amounted to 8,340 quarters of wheat, 2,563 barley, 15,564
oats, 2,886 beans, 457 peas, 6,560 linseed, 83 rapeseed, 46
mustard seed, 146 sundry seeds, and 50 sacks of flour.
There was an average arrival of English wheat put up
to our market to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, and
the general quality of the supply was good. The atten-
dance of town and country buyers was by no means nume-
rem ; nevertheless, the demand for all kinds ruled steady,
and nearly, or quite, the whole of the arrivals were dis-
posed of at last Monday's prices.

The show of foreign wheat was good. Prime qualities
commanded a firm market, and, in some instances, rather
more money was paid for them. Low and middling kinds
were in fair request, and quite as dear as last week.
The arrivals of floating cargoes off Falmouth since our
last report have been extremely small. There are none on
sale to-day.

We were but moderately supplied with barley, for which
there was a good demand, at an advance in the quotations
of is per quarter.

There was an improved sale for malt. Prices generally
were well supported.

Oats, the show of which was moderate, moved off steadily.
In prices no change took place.
There was a steady inquiry for beans, but we have no
change to notice in their value.

Most kinds of peas sold to a fair extent, on former
terms.

The flour trade was tolerably firm, without leading to
any change in price.

TURKEY.

We read in a letter from Constantinople of the
20th :
" Viscountess Stratford de Redcliffe and
family have arrived here, and are at pre-
sent residing at the British Embassy, at The-
rapia. Yesterday 300,0001 of the loan contracted
in London arrived here. A commission
composed of seven merchants under the direc-
tion of Mousa Safeti Pacha, the Minister of Fi-
nance, has been appointed to conduct the mo-
netary system in Turkey. In a recent sitting
they fixed the value of the pound sterling at
131 piasters, and have made arrangements to
maintain it at that figure. A commission is sit-
ting at Constantinople, under the presidence of
Cabouli Effendi, fur the settlement of the indem-
nity demanded by the Porte from the Hellenie
Government. The matter proceeds but slowly."

THE MEN O 1 THE TIGER IN CONFINE•
MYATT AT ODESSA.

A few days after our landing, as the empty powder
magazine was not considered by the medical board to be
a healthy residence, the men were all removed to a large
house which had been occupied by a school, and was ca-
pacious enough to accommodate the whole of the ship's
crew. The scholars had been transferred to the country,
in the environs of the city. This establishment was
about a quarter of a mile from the place still occupied
by the officers, and outside the ruined fortress, at the
foot of the glacis ; it formed the corner of a large
street in the suburbs of the city. Sentinels were
posted in front of the two sides, and a strong guard
was established on the opposite side of the street,
facing the entrance. There was abundant room
in this building, one floor reinandng unoccupied ; and
the courtyard before the house afforded space in which
the men could take the air, and exercise themselves with
the school-boy games of their early days. One great com-
fort was a pump of good water, which gave the men
an advantage over their officers, the latter being
supplied with this element in casks brought to them
daily. The town of Odessa is scantily supplied with
good water, which the inhabitants are obliged to buy
from carriers, who bring it in barrels from some little

OFFICIAL DESPATCHES

FROM
GENERAL LORD RAGLAN.

_
FROM A SUPPLEMENT TO FRIDAY'S GAZETTE.]

DOWNING-STREET, S2PT. 30.
Two despn.tches, of which the following are an extract
and a copy, have been received by the Duke of Newcastle
from General Lord Raglan, G. 0.8. :
Extract of a Despatch from General Lord Raglan, G.C.8.,
to the Duke of Newcastle.
Yarns, Aug. 20,1554.

The embrzkation is proceeding rapidly and successfully,
thanks to the able arrangements of. Rear-Admiral Sir
Edmund Lyons, and.the unceasing exertions of the offices s
and men under his orders. It is impossible for me to ex-
press in adequate terms my sense of the -value of the assis-
tance the Army under my command derives from the

Royal Navy.
The same feeling prevails from the highest to the lowest ;
from Vice-Admiral Dandas to the youngest sailor, an
ardent desire to co-operate by every possible means is mani-
fest throughout ; and I am proud of being associated with
men who are animated by such a spirit, and are so entirely
&voted to the service of their country.

Camp above Old Fort Bay, Sept. 18, 1854.
My Lord Duke,—l do myself the honour to acquaint
your Grace, that the combined fleets and their convoys
appeared in the Bay of Eupatoria on the 13th inst., and to
the course of the following night proceeded some miles in
the southward, where the Allied Armies commenced dis-
embarking early in the morning of the 14th,-- the
French in the Bay below Old Fort, the English in the next
Bay nearer to Eupatoria—and before dark the whole of
the British Infantry, and some Artillery, and most of the
French troops, were on shore.
Shortly before dark the weather unfortunately changed,
and it became hazardous to attempt to continuo landing

either troops or guns.
The surf on the beach impeded the operation the follow-
ing morning, and since on more than one occasion ; but
thanks to the great exertions of the navy, under the able
and active superintendencefbf Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund
Lyons, who was charged with, the whole arrangement,
every obstacle has been overcome, and I am now enabled
to report to your Grace that the disembarkations have been
completed.
I should not do justice to my own feelings, or to those
of the troops I have the honour to command, if I did not
prominently bring to the knowledge of your Grace the
deep sense entertained by all of the invaluable services
rendered by her Majesty's navy.

The spirit by which both officers and men wore ani-
mated made them regardless of danger, of fatigue, and
indeed of every consideration but that of performing an
arduous and, important duty ; and that duty they dis-
charged to the admiration of all who had the good fortune
to witness their unceasing efforts to land horses aad car-
riages, with the utmost expedition and safety, under fre-
quently the most trying circumstances.—l have, &c.

THE GUN-BOATS.-ARMAMENT FOR THE

PE LTER.

Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, Surveyor of the Navy,
Captain Sir Thomas Hastings, Storekeeper of the Ord-
nance, and Mr. Watts, Assistant-Surveyor of the Navy,
visited Woolwich Dockyard on Saturday to inspect the
Pelter light-draught of water gun-boat and the arma-
ment with which she is now fitted. The Lancaster oval
guns which have been cast for the light-draught gun-
boats are each one and a half tons lighter than those
fitted in the screw steam despatch gun-boats, the guns
mounted on traversing platforms on board the Pelter
being nominally 65 cwt., or actually the gun aft the
funnel 63 cwt. 3 qrs. and 11b, and the gun before the
funnel 64 cwt. 1. qr. and 121 b., while those on board the
Arrow class of screw steam despatch gun-boats are 95
cwt. each. The guns of the reiter, although of only 65
cwt., have the same 8 inch oval bore as those of 95 cwt.,
and are each 9 feet in length. Notwithstanding the dif-
ference of weight of metal in the guns, the 65 cwt. S-inch
guns appear of a very serviceable construction, and ad-
mirably adapted fur being workod effectively on board
the light-draught gun-boats. The Pelter has been taken
into dock, and is advancing fast towards completion.

THE GOLD-FIELDS.—THE COLONY OF
VICTORIA.
(From the Melbourne Argus, July 21.)

The Queen of the South will proceed to sea to-morrow
morning at ten o'clock, conveying mails by way of Cape
Horn, and the Norna, expected from Sydney on Sun-
day, will probably sail on Monday morning with those
by the route overland. We have therefore prepared our
summary to suit both opportunities.
As regards the colony generally we are able with
truth to report very favourably, perhaps more so than
upon any former occasion. With the exception of the
import trade, almost every interest in the country is in
a highly prosperous or hopeful condition. Law and
order are fast becoming established ; life and property
are comparatively safe, even in our remoter districts ;
and the population have universally settled down to the
steady pursuits of industry. In the neighbourhood of
all the gold-fields considerable luantities of agricultural
lands have been purchased; cultivation and the breeding
of the smaller kinds of live stock have become a mania,
and fabulous prices are given for suitable animals. Ve-
getables, eggs, and milk, in place of being unheard-of
luxuries, are fast becoming procurable at all the older
gold-fields. The diggers are now sending for their wives
and families, and many of them are devoting a large
portion of their time to the cultivation of gardens and
even farms. The Government having laid out town-
ships, allotments have been eagerly purchased, and the
former encampments at Mount Alexander, Bendigo,
Ballarat, M'lvor, the Goulburn, and the Ovens, are
now being supplatited by regular buildings, which are
rapidly assuming the appearance of towns and cities,
with many of the appliances and comforts of modern
civilization.

Congratulating our distant readers most heartily upon
these vast strides in the legitimate settlement of the
colony, for which we have so long been labouring, we
now proceed to give more particular details, and, ac-
cording to custom, commence with our great staple, the
precious metal.

DEPARTURE OF THE ALGIERS.

DEVONPOET, Oct. I.—The Algiers, 91, Captain Tal-
bot, would, it was thought, have to put to sea short of
her complement, by reason of many of het crew being
absent when she left harbour for the Sound ; but nearly
every one of the men returned to her before leaving the
Sound. The Algiers relieves the Albion, 90, in the
Black Sea. The Indefatigable, 50, Captain Hope, was
paid wages yesterday, and will sail in a day or two for
Rio, where she will bear the flag of Rear-Admiral Hope
Johnstone, commander-in-chief of the South American
station. The Havannah is being fitted for sea for the Aus-
tralian station. It is said she is in a very bad state, and
will require extensive repairs. The Hornet, 16 (screw),
Commander Forsyth, was taken out of dock yesterday,
and is now ready for sea.
