"In reply to your letttr received this morning, respecting the
Gotta rercha. Tubing far pump sepice, I can state, with much satis-
faction, it answers perfeetly. Many builders and other persons have
lately examined it, and there Isnot-the least apparent difference s;nce
the first laying down, now severed years ; and I am intormed that
it is to be adopted generally in the houses that are being erected

SPAIN.

It is not usual for the Madrid journals, with
the exception of the Gazette, to appear on. Mon-
days, but we have received a Clamor Publieo
dated the 6th, together with the Gazette of the
same date. Their contents are not important.
The Clamor says that in some towns associa-
tions for obtaining recruits for the Carlists have
been formed. A letter says :—" It is stated
that England will insist on her proposition that
Spain shall treat the slave trade as piracy. The
postal treaty between England and this country
has been sent to London. A treaty is also being
proposed between the two countries for the pro-
tection of literary property. A meeting of the
Esparterist deputies is tobe held to-day; that name
has been given to the ultra-liberals—perhaps un-
justly. A meeting of the democrats was held yes-
terday, and it was decided at it to support the pro-
gressists against the moderados. The national
guard has received orders to be provided with am-
munition on the Bth—the day of the opening of
the Cortes."

THIRTY THOUSAND FRENCH TROOPS
ORDERED TO THE EAST.

We extract the following from a letter received from
Paris this morning :
"I noticed yesterday the movement of bodies of
troops in the south of France. I am now assured
that orders have been given for the immediate em-
barkation at Marseilles and Toulon of two di-visions
for the Crimea. These two divisions would remount
to about 30,000 men. It was rumoured some six
or seven days ago that the ;question of altogether
withdrawing the army from the Crimea was nuooted
by one of the Ministers during a Cabinet Coun-
cil. This rumour bas been repeated to-day, and
the name of the Minister, who is not unlikely to have
suggested such a measure, mentioned. I cannot vouch
for the correctness of the report ; but it is also a:ffirtsed
that the Emperor at once cut the matter short, and
stopped the mouth of the Minister by declaring that, if
necessary, be would send 100,000 men more rath or than
give up Sebastopol. The order I have just alluded to
proves that the war will be carried on with energy until
this great object is attained."

POLICE INTELLIGIEN CE.

MANSION-HOITSE. —.Henry Griffith.,, a lad, 10
years of age, was charged before Sir R. W. Carden,
with picking the pocket of Mrs. Maria Crook, of
Crimscott-street, Bermondsey, of a purse containing
some silver,' as the procession was passing through
Eastcheap on Lord Mayor's day.
George Scott, city detective officer, said that he
watched the prisoner, who was accompanied by another
boy, and saw him go up to a lady who was standing in a
doorway in Eastcheap, put his hand into her pocket,
abstract her purse, and decamp. He (the officer) pur-
suedhim, and seized him with the nurse in his hand,

THE PAIXHANS MORTARS.

When Belgium separated from Holland, in 1830,
General Paixhans, of the French artillery, was sent to
assist the Belgians is the siege of Antwerp. In company
with General Busen, he reconnoitred the citadel, and
found it to be a place of extraordinary strength. Every
point was well sheltered from the effects of shells, and
there was moreover a big ditch, which could be filled
with water from the sea.
The French general proposed then to King Leopold
to shorten the siege by means of a mortar, of which the
shells would weigh 1,000 lbs., and contain each 100 lbs.
of powder. This, it was thought, would with a few
blows decide the struggle, and cut short the pains and
miseries of a protracted siege. The proposal was be-
lieved to be inhuman, and it was not until after 50,000
cannon balls and shells had been spent in vain upon the
city that the monster mortar—a charcoal casting made
at Liege—was brought out.
Nine shells fired—hugewereflying mines—one of
which burst in the air, and eight descended in the citadel.
Two days atter the first shelf was fired the Dutch sur-
L rendered.
Surely, if such a mortar could be cast, and used with
these tremendous results in 1830, the progress of science
and engineering should enable us in 1354 to produce
something equal if not superior. What has become of
this individual mortar?
Our indefatigable enemy is said to be even now actively
engaged in strengthening the already impregnable for-
tress of Cronstadt, so that if we are to make another
demonstration in the Baltic next spring—the finest fleet
that ever sailed from our shores having failed to reduce
Cronstadt this year—we shall certainly require a stronger
force next year, and a projectile of the description above
mentioned would be found an extremely useful auxiliary
in the destruction of this important stronghold.

STOCK EXCHANGE.—The market is very flat, with prices
decidedly lower, and but little business doing. Bristol and

JEwISR REFUGEES PROM RUSSlA.—Within these few
days (says the Norfolk Chronicle) six refugees from the
paternal government of Russia have arrived in this city
completely destitute. Three of them are natives of
Russian Poland, and the others of Russia Proper. They
are Jewish tradesmen, and ran the risk of losing their
lives I:Cy forming the resolution of. quitting their own
homes to escape the terrible conscription now going on
in the dominions of the Czar.
AUSTRIAN SOLICITUDE FOR HUNGARY.—The inhabi-
tants of Hungary Proper and of the districts formerly
appertaining to it, are, it is well known, for the most
part Protestants. The Minister'of Public Instruction
has now thought proper to interfere, in order to pre-
serve the positive elements of Protestint doctrinal
standards, and has issued. a circular, dated Sept. 20,
1854, to all the Hungarian sub-lientenantcies, to the
lieutenatncy of Temesvar, and to the civil and mi-
litary government of Transylvania on the subject.
The motives alleged for this measure make the
next of the circular interesting. The minister says :
" I have been informed that in the elementary schools
of , an addition, published in Dobschan, of the two
first courses of the `Christian doctrine, by M. Chr. Fr.
L. Simon,' and consisting of paragraphs, biblical quota-
tions, stc., is used as a school-book for religious instruc-
tion. Both the courses in question are written on purely
rational principles, for either they entirely pass over the
essential doctrines of the evangelical confession, or re-
present them in a sense entirely divergent from the doc-
trinal standards. In consideration that the propagation
of rationalistic doctrines not only undermines the foun-
dation of religion, but is also wholly unfitting in a na-
tional point of view, since the state can only recognise
the lawfully acknowledged confessions of faith as being
called and entitled to use their doctrines in education and
instruction, the imperial lieutenantcy of is desired
to take the requisite steps to exclude the said books on
religion from all the evangelicil schools where they are
used, and to replace them, with other books that corres-
pond with the confession of the evangelical church."

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Nov. B.—The Cologne Gazette publishes,
with all possible reserve, however, the following
copy of a despatch in cipher, transmitted, as as-
serted, by the Warsaw official office to the Prussian
legation at Paris, and communicated by that lega-
tion to several banking-houses at Paris
Warsaw Chancery (no date).—Prinee Menschikoff
reports on the 29th of October, 8 p.m., that all his rein-
forcements had arrived, and that the 180 squadrons of
his cavalry are masters of the whole plain. The dra-
goons of General Morawieff have arrived from Wos-
nosensk, and are panting for battle. On the pre-
vious day the enemy's fire was weaker. On the
29th they had not fired a gun. The reports which
have reached head-quarters show that the enemy are
in great anxiety for their communications, and are
preparing, by re-embarking a portion of their artillery,
to abandon the siege. They suffer extraordinarily from
sickness and want of provisions. During the night of
the 28th and 29th the sea was very stormy, but vras
calmer towards evening. A cold rain begins to fitll;
The enemy has not lighted his (bivouac) fires."

Unfortunately for the promulgators of the
above despatch we have bad before us since last
Saturday Prince Menschikoff's despatch of the
29th, officially forwarded from St. Petersburg,
wherein it is distinctly stated that " the enemy
had completed their advanced batteries." It may
be safely asserted that this acknowledgment of the
successful progress of the assailants' works would
not have been made had Prince Menschikoff been
enabled to report the reverse.
It is possible, and, indeed, probable, that the re-
inforcements under Dannenberg, said to consist of
two divisions of the 4th corps—that is, the remain-
der of this corps, of which the 12th division had
already joined—may have arrived, and that the
force of cavalry (already amounting to 64 squadrons
of Lancers and Hussars, with 24 or more sotnias
of Cossacks) may be increased by one division, or
40 squadrons of dragoons ; but 180 squadrons is
rather over-doing the account. Indeed, were 180
squadrons (that is, 22,000 horses) concentrated in
the so-called " plain," they would be a greater source
of embarrassment than utility to the Russian Gene..
ral-in-Chief.

Neither the Russian reply to the Prussian sup-
plication of the 22d ult., nor the Austrian answer to
the more recent Prussian propositions, had reached.
this place up to a late hour.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

A letter fr'oin Bucharest, of the 30th, says that
Sadik Pacha, with 12,000 men, occupied Ibraila
and its environs, and Achmet Pacha was advancing
from Kalarasch to Ibraila with 30,000 men. The
recall of the Turkish commissioner in the princi-
palities (Dervish Pacha) is certain.
From the Lower Danube the latest information
shows that, whether from any change in Omer
Pasha's military plans, brought about by Austrian
influence, or by the necessity of detaching a portion
of his forces to the Crimea, them is little probability
of the Turks effecting any diversion in the Dobrud-
scha. Of Bessarabia, of course, we cannot speak as
long as the Russians continue undisturbedly posted
on the right bank of the Danube at Isaktcha and
Tultscha. This quiescence of the Turks not only
leaves the wished-for diversion in abeyance, but
also closes the book on the whole chapter of many
unforeseen accidents, which might have brought
about a collision between the Austrians and Russians.

THE PATRIOTIC FUND IN BERLIN.

The following has been issued by the English resi-
dents :

" TO THE ENGLISH RESIDENTS AT BERLIN AND ITS
ENVIRONS.

" Berlin, Oct. 25, 1854.

" Fellow-countrymen,— A subscription having been
opened in England for the purpose of alleviating the suffer-
ings of the wounded soldiers and sailors who have been
and are still fighting the battles of their country against the
Russians, the undermentioned Englishmen in Berlin, in a
meeting held on the 22d of this month, decided on
making a like subscription for the above-mentioned object,
viz., Messrs. Watson, Harrison, Rawson, William Turner,
Lee, Crabtree, H. Turner, and Thompson.
" Mr. William Turner having been elected treasurer,
and Messrs. H. Turner and Watson, auditors, w• beg to
make the following remarks : _
" We have no doubt you are all satisfied with the result
of our brave soldiers' and sailors' doings, and hope you
have the same confidence as ourselves in their future un-
dertakings.
" With this short comment, we appeal to your genero-
sity to remit to us your trifle towards providing for the
wounded those small comforts of which they are at present
so much in need.

" Donations will be thankfully received by any of the
above named, who will remit the same to the treasurer,
who, when the subscription is closed, will wait upon his
Excellency the British Envoy, and request him to have the
kindness to forward the sum collected to its proper desti-
nation.

(Signed)

" H TURNER,
" J. WATSON,
" W. TURNER."

The above simple appeal merits being and
it is to be hoped that the worthy example shown by her
Majesty's subjects here will be followed by Englishmen
in every part of the continent. If this appeal meets the
eyes of our heroic soldiers and sailors, they will no doubt
feel cheered with the thought that their "doings" are
appreciated, and that the "confidence" felt in their
valour and endurance is not less universal amongst all
classes of their fellow-countrymen than are the prayers
fervent and genuine that Almighty Providence may
crown their "undertakings" with glory and success.

THE WAR IN ASIA.

The substance of a letter from Batoum, in the I
Lloyd, under date of the 20th ult., is as follows :
The Russians were concentrating on the north-
east front of Anatolia, threatening the Turkish
army, which, it is said, was anxious to engage the
enemy, and it was considered that a battle must
inevitably take place before long. Mustapha Pacha
was drilling his troops and giving them daily
exercise in firing "to accustom them to the roar
of cannon." Ismail Pacha has joined his army at
Kars. It is said that Mustapha Pacha proposes to
advance with his troops along the coast of the
Black Sea to Anapa—of course under the protection
of ships of war—and has sent one of his aides-de-
camp to the Crimea to obtain the consent of the
commanders of the Allied armies to his plan. Mean-
while he is concentrating all disposable troops
from West Anatolia at Batoum, in order to be-
gin his operations immediately upon the receipt
of the approval from head-quarters. All this
sounds very well, but it is a great ques-
tion whether anything will really be done at the
Asiatic seat of war for some months to come. The
Russians have been informed by the spies of the
contemplated scheme, and this is the reason for
their again concentrating at Kutais, from whence
they can operate with advantage against the coast.
No more Zeybeck disturbances have take place in
the interior of Anatolia. The Russians have re-
paired the damage done by the powder explosion
at Gumri, and this place is again the pivot for their
offensive operations against the Turks.
London, England, 1854-11-11

RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg of the 31st ult., in
the National Gazette of Berlin, says
" For a long time past people have been convinced
here that Russia will exhaust all her resources before con-
senting to accept the four points. Besides the active
army placed on a war footing, by the recal of the m en(.ni
temporary leave of absence,-or who were definitively
dis-
charged, the men of the reserve, &c.—the o vern-
ment has thought itself obliged to form not Govern-
ment an
army of reserve, but to prepare a seoc,nd army
same kind—an army which will not be completely
formed until the 4th general recruiting, the 13th of
the series, shall_ permit it in the spring. There will
nevertheless be a great void caused by the exemption
from the twelfth levy which is to take place this
year. The Emperor ordered somedays ago that the
Government of Taurida should not be subjected to the
12th partial .conscription. In addition to the active
army, the guard and the grenadiers, the two corps of
cavalry and the corps of dragoons—all the troops in the
depot who do not form part of the reserve, that is, not
only the sth and 6th battalions, but also of the 7th and
Bth, are to be completed and placed on a war footing.
This proves that peace is not at all thought of."
The Kalisch correspondent of the Lloyd writes,
on. the 4th, that the head-quarters of the Infantry
Guards is at present at Wilna, in Lithuania, and
the General commanding the Guards, the Here-
ditary Grand Duke, and Lieutenant-General
Sumarokoff, the commander of the infantry, are
also at that place. General Baron Moller
Zakomelski arrived lately at Warsaw from the Cau-
casus, and after a short stay continued his journey
to St. Petersburg. A writer says that Schamyl is
hard pressed by the Russians, and cannot fulfil the
expectations which his astonishing feats have given
rise to ; and, changing the subject to Sebastopol,
sneers at the report that five of the Russian gene
rale have been killed, and informs us that one

general reported dead is not in the Crimea, but in
the Caucasus ; that General Annenkoff is in good
health at Odessa ; and neither General Chruleff
nor General Bebutoff is dead. The latter is now
in Poland.

THE FEAT OF ARMS BEFORE SBBAS-

TOPOL.

The Fremdem Blatt learns from St. Petersburg tlik-
-" The feat of arms before Sebastopol, in the night
from the 20th to the 21st October, on which oc
casion the Russians succeeded in spiking eight inor
tars and eleven guns of a French battery, was per.
formed by a detachment of volunteers, consist-
ing of five officers and twenty•seven soldiers, of
which two officers and some soldiers were killed. The
Emperor Nicholas has been pleased to command that the
names of these volunteers, both officers and men,
should be published in the general order of the day.
A letter from Odessa, of the 29th ult., says that Men-
schikoff's army is 63,659 strong, with 160 guns, and is
concentrated on the right bank of the Chernaya. Tirs
troops were provisioned for eight days, and bad taken
up the position mentioned, in order that theymight
attack the Allies in the flank and rear, whente offer
en-
gaged in the storming of Sebastopol, or
attacks
them battle previous to the storm. The
of General Liprandi's division were
on the 26th and 27th. It appears very
venture to give battle
indeed, that the Russians wouldnotini prreonbeawb leed,

Dundas, at a council of war held on the 16th, ob-
jected to operating wa the eetthe against the fortgaines, ad
that advantage nd
gave it as his opinion
would not be proportionate to the danger to which the
d batxposed under the most favourable
fleets would woul
cuiustances ; he was overruled in his view. The
ships injured the most were towed to Buyukdere, in
order
to be sufficiently repaired there to go to Toulon.
It is said that it has since been decided upon that
the fleets should only operate passively against Sebas-
topol. An order was sent from Constantinople to Omer
Pacha on the 19th, to concentrate 20,000 of his best
troops at Varna, to be ready for embarkation to the
Crimea, and we now learn by advises from Varna, of the
30th, that these troops had begun to embark two days
previously. Some hundreds of Russian prisoners arrived
at Scutari on the 25th from Balaklava. They were cap-
tured on the Chernaya on the 17th, 18th, and 19th.
General Tscheltschanoif, who was wounded in the battle
of Alma, is perfectly recovered, and is imprisoned at
Stamboul."

From these returns it appears that the metallic
reserve has declined during the month 38 millions
in Paris and about 1 million in the branch banks.
This large diminution is explained by the fact that
Treasury bonds have been discounted by the Go-
vernment to the extent of 30 millions. The general
discount accommodation has increased fq millions
in Paris and 6 millions in the provinces. The ad-
vances on public securities of France have increased
about half a million in Paris, whilst remaining
almost without change in the departments. The
advances on railway securities have increased 5 mil-
lions in Paris and ± of a million in the branch
banks. On the side of the liabilities the notes in
circulation show a diminution of 1 million in Paris
and an augmentation of 3 millions in the provinces.
The account current of the Treasury has advanced
15 millions. Ordinary accounts current have
fallen off 2 millions in Paris and 2 millions in The
departments. The whole of the metallic reserve at
present is 437 i millions, to 6341 millions of notes
an circulation.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Mini,tg Journal of this day.)

This week has been characterised by an absence of
general business, and a depression in some of the fa-
vourite stocks, for which it is difficult to account, other.
wise than by supposing that, during the late excitement,
many persons purchased shares merely for the rise, and
are now selling out at every opportunity. If this be the
case, and from the fact that the mines are looking as
well, and in some Cases better, than when the up-
ward movement continence 1, we are warranted in
presuming that is so. the bona fide holders of
shares, or those Hho purchase for ultimate results,
and not for the mete purpose of taking advan-
tage of the daily and almost hourly fluctuations in the
market, need not be under any alarm. North Roberts,
which rose to 311., 321., have fallen to 20/. ; Sol tridge
Consols, 31. ss. to 31. 15s ; West Sortridge, fis. to 7s.
6d. ; Devon Great Consols. 385/. to 3901. ; Wheal Clif-
ford in demand, at 1401. to 150/. ; North Basset,
201. to 211. ; Great Wheal Fortune, 121. to 131. ;
Wheal Charlotte, 51. to 61. ; Trefusis, Si. ; Great
Alfred, 221. to 231. ; East Buller, 41. 10s. ; Cupid,
51. to 61. ; Clijah and Wentworth, 141. to M. ;
Bedford United, 9/. 17s. 6d. to 101. ; North Towry, ss.
to 7s. 6d. Some of the heavy stocks, such as Buller
and Basset, are quoted lower, but we do not hear of any
actual sales having taken place.
In Foreign Mines, the market has shown a marked
improvement.

STATE OF TRADE.

(Prom the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, Nov. 10.—There is very little apparent
change since last week. To a large extent, the quota-
tions are the same ; but buyers find that they have a
further slight advantage in actual transactions. This
appears to hold good as to yarns and goo& at large.
But, in the India department of our market, the decline
of prices proceeds more markedly. We hear of offers
for certain cloths which are fast approaching this lowest
point of 1848.
BRADFORD, Nov. 9.—Wools : Thera is a very limited
business doing in all kinds of combing wools. The
holders are more disposed to sell, and sales are made at
prices in favour of the buyer.
NOTTINGHAM, Nov. 9.—ln consequence of the pre-
sent temporary derangement of commercial affairs in
the United States, where a number •f failures have
recently taken place, there is an unusual dearth of
demand for both lace and hosiery goods, and the Lon-
don and Manchester hosiers are not giving out their
accustomed amount of orders for goads for the ensuing
spring trade.
LEICESTER, Nov. 9.—There is lot so muck doing in
the regular hosiery as is usual at this period of the
year ; but stocks in hand being light, but few frames
have beenlaid down at present. The glove demand has
rather improved, though still much depressed. In
fancy hosiery more is doing.

RAISING OF THE EUROPA STEAMER,

The operations determined on for raising the sunken
new iron screw steamer Europa, in the East India
Dock fitting-out basin, were brought into action on
Thursday afternoon with complete success. The power
brought into requisition was on a most extensive scale.
The Europa capsized on Monday last, the weight of her
masts, &c., causing the ship to roll over, when she filled
and sunk with the whole of her larboard side down-
wards, her stern laying rather obliquely towards the
centre of the basin, and her stem and cutwater resting
on the dock quay. Owing to her great length, being
nearly 200 feet long, and her tonnage upwards of
1,000, all efforts previously' to get her upright have
failed till the present operations. In the first place,
in order to raise the ship in an upright position, ■o that
the scuttles on the larboard side could be stopped up,
and the water pumped out, it became necessary to direct
the bulk of the raising power on the " lower side" of the
ship, and so cant her upright. For this purpose, three
crab windlqssas were securely fixed on the dock quay,
each having a chain passed under the ship's bottom, and
fastened over the " upper side" to some spars under the
main deck. A pair of sheers were also erected on the
quay, and brought to play with Bolton sheer hulk,
which had been brought alongside the outside of the
ship. A dock chain lighter was placed at the stern,
with cables under her, and a warp was run out from the
fore aid mainmasts to some capstans on shore on the
opposite side of the basin. Nearly 1,000 hands were,
as soon as everything had been got in readiness, set to
work at these powerful appliances, and, in the coursepf
an hour, the ship yielded to the pressure, and was finally
rai, ed from her daegerous position, and righted within a
feet feet, where she canted over. The water in the
basin then being lower, enabled the shipwrights to plug
up the whole of the scuttles, and, later in the evening, a
diver was sant down to examine the valves in the ship's
bottom, which were supposed to be open, but which the
diver found to be closed. Yesterday morning some
seven or eight large fire engines were shipped on board,
together with several smaller ones, to pump the water
out of the hold, which was within a short distance of her
maindeck. It was expected she would float in a few
hours. Several hundred hands are employed at the
pumps and engines, and the damage to the ship appears
not of so extensive a character as was first supposed.—

LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1.9::

We have two, or rather three, distinct and v
conflicting accounts of the attack by the Ruqs

troops under General LIPRANDI on the posit:.
of the Allies rear Bala&lava. A fourth, which'

this country would be received as decisive,

however, wanting. General CANROBERT

spoken ; but Lord RAGLAN is silent. L()

STRATFORD DB RKDoLIFFR has transmitted the

formation "gathered" by an coionymous cap:

of an English steam-transport "from several

sons who were eye-witnesses of what took plae . ' j
but the Noble diplomatist has not sent any ace°, . ~,-, i
of a strictly official character, on which 1.11 t
plioit reliance might be placed. He L
at best acted on mere hearsay evidence, whi. ,
under the circumstances, he was not merely just
fled in sending, but imperatively bound to traL -
mit without the loss of a single hour. But :,I
was likewise bound to give, at the earliest m -
mgt, such supplementary intelligence as woul I
have confirmed, or in any wise contradicted or
modified, the former statement. He must ha v o
known that it did not rest on 'satisfactory grounds,
and that the people of England would impatiently
await the further tidings. He must have received
the neceeeart information. The French mail
Bosphorus steamer which left the on the 30th
has arrived at Mareemee. The Minister of War
at Paris has received a despatch to the 28th
instant, from the French Commander-in-
Chief in the Crimea. Lord g
—TRATBORD must
have had the means of obtaining full and authen-
tic
accounts of all the particulars respecting these
important days, the 25th, 26th, and 27th • but he
has not condescended to transmit '
any information
on the subject.

Thus, then, the matter stands. Lord R
RAGLAN
has not taken the slightest notice of the transac- I
tion. General CAITROBBRT pooh-poohs it, as a
matter of but trivial consequence, which could not
be dignified with the name of a " serious engage-
ment." Lord STRA.TFORD DE REDCLIFFE an-
nounces a very severe conflict that might have led
to exceedingly dangerous results, had it not been
for the steady and determined bravery of the Al-
lied Forces. He also speaks of three regiments of
Engli.,h Light Cavalry having "suffered immensely
ou this melancholy occasion. But all this is but on
