sons, and circulated for the vilest purposes. The
Bears are hut two well aware of the effects pro-
duced on the public mind by constant excitement.
They see, and take full advantage of, the opportu-
nities fcr plunder thereby afforded. Let bona fide
iuvesters in stocks or shares, however, refuse to
fall into their traps. Let them rely confidently on
the resources of their Fatherland, and the impos-
sibility of its sustaining any serious damage in the
conflict, if such should really be forced upon it.
But, above all, let them be well assured that no_
thing is so well calculated to avert war as the exhi-
bition of a firm and unyielding front and inflex-
ible determination. There was much truth in the
blundering assertion of Sir BOYLE ROCHE, that
" the best way to avoid danger is to meet it full
in the face." If among the means of peace said
to have been exhaustel by our diplomatists, we
had, on the crossing of the Pruth, moved our
vessels to the Sea of Marmora—if we had accom-
panied that movement by a distinct and unequi-
vocal declaration that on the first shot that was
fired in anger the combined fleet would bombard
Odessa and Sebastopol, and that another division
would sail for the Baltic and keep watch
over Cron s tadt, the question would have
been long since amicably arranged, and we should
have been spared the enormous loss and inconve-
nience occasioned by the long-protracted negotia-
tions, and the unsettled state of affairs. Let us,
then, ere it is too late, adopt a vigorous and
manly policy worthy of our ancient reputation.
It is by such conduct only that we can partially
repair the damage already inflicted, and prevent
further and more serious injury from being
sustained.

It has been suggested to the leaders of the
Peace Conference, we suppose in the way of
banter, that they should undertake the task of
reconciling the masters and men, who have
mutually struck. We really see no reason in

sober seriousness why they should not accept the
challenge. If successful, we are confident that
already thousands of families would say, " Blessed
are the peace-makers," and every week will in-
crease the numbers of wives, mothers, and chil-
dren, at least, who would give them heartfelt
thanks for deliverance from debt, semi-starvation,
and the pawnbroker. If unsuccessful, no one
would reproach them for failure in so benevolent
au attempt. It is, we fear, vain to reduce a
strike of classes to its component elements of
individual dealing. It may be true, as far as it
goes, that the transactions between operatives and
the millowners should be as simple a matter as
dealing between a tradesman and his customer. '
In practice, however, many incidental differences
widely
distinguish the two cases. The most im-
portant are the distinctness with which, to the
vulgar eye, the relation between a manufacturer
and his workman stands out to view ; and the
fact, that it is only by the hands in a factory, or
other large business, combining as one man they
can produce any impression on the one who
stands in the same relation to them all.
Fundamentally the buyers and sellers of labour
must obey the samelaws as other buyers and sellers.
It will require, however, all the homely eloquence
of the Anti-Corn-Law Leaguers to convince the
Preston cotton weavers of this undoubted fact.
To the eye of the many the Master appears to
be the man who doles out to each workman his
living. He seems to hold in his hands the mea_
sure of each man's comforts. It is easy to ima-
gine, especially when he builds a mansion near
his mill in the country, or erects one out of the
town when inconvenienced by its smoke, that if
he would he could spare somewhat more to each
of his servants. It looks like getting rich at the
cost of their imperfectly requited toil. To a dis-
interested and educated man it is generally easy
enough to show the fallacy of these imaginations,
but not to an interested and illiterate man. All
the orators, too, to whom the operative listens

(too often knowing much better) cherish and
strengthen his delusion, and occasionally success-
ful strikes tend yet more to confirm it. Further,
to get rich by paying labourers as little as pos-
sible will always seem more invidious than getting
rich by obtaining the best price for mere articles
of trade in the open market. Commercially, a
pound of sugar and a day's labour are equally
articles of sale ; but the pound of sugar knows
nothing of comfort or discomfort in the process--
a penny more or less for it leaves it but a pound of
sugar still, while a few pence per day more or less
for labour touch the comforts, it may be the
vital necessaries, of a family of
ur brother men.
The close proximity, so to speak,
of the wages of
labour to human happiness or misery, will always
make the price of labour more a consideration for
the heart than the price of other things. Even
when, as now, the cost of necessaries and comforts
is ,o painfully felt by many, there is more ten-

dency to blame the payers of unaltered wages than
the sellers of food. Wages will seem more de-
pendent on mere will than the prices of articles
of which PROVIDENCE has furnished but a dimi-
nished quantity.
To such circumstances as these may be traced
so much of the bitterness attendant upon strikes.
Masters think men dissatisfied and grumbling be-
cause having done with so many shillings per
week they ask for more. Men think masters
avaricious and hard, because trade being brisker
they are unwilling to advance. It becomes a
question of will, and will not ; of mutual misun-
derstanding of each other's positions; of false views
of honour on each side, till what was begun as a
tolerably cool fight ends in the bitterest exaspera-
tions, the deepest distress, breaches of the public
peace, the trade of a district perhaps ruined, and
the orders transferred for a permanency to other
lands. We are sorry to observe that already
the Preston contest begins to assume a more
than commercial aspect. The grand complaint,
according to Mr. GEORGE COWELL, whose letter
has attracted so much attention, now is, that
while many of the masters received the deputa-
tions from their workmen with " a courtesy and
respect which did them the highest honour,"
and which, be the result of the contest
what it may, " will be remembered with gra-
titude," the majority " spurned the hands
from their presence, treated them with insult,
and, in a few cases, with rudeness unbearable."
Of course we have only Mr. COWELL'S word for
this. If it be true, we certainly wish it were not
so ; far be it from us to encourage masters in un-
gentlemanly behaviour, and least of all towards de-
pendents. But while no doubt bearish masters
can be found, as well as bearish workmen, the
latter must take care not to confound the sense
of independence in a master with rudeness. We
think it perfectly natural that many a master did,
from the thoroughly English feeling of keeping
his own concerns to himself, pretty decidedly re-
sent the demand for proof that he could not
afford the advance of 10 per cent. Bad enough,
he thought, to have to expose my income to the
agents of Mr. GLADSTONE, but to have all these
workmen debating my profits and losses at every
tavern—no, I will starve rather than submit to
it. Mr. COWELL, too, must forgive us, if we are
compelled to doubt, however respectfully they
might think proposals intrinsically repulsively
worded, whether the bearers of the proposals
always discharged their ungrateful office in the
least irritating manner. Mr. COWELL, though
striving to write like an apostle of meekness,
indulges in some rhetoric as bad in temper as it
is deplorably vicious in taste ; and it is therefore
almost certain, that some of his legates did not
altogether refrain from provoking language.
We know too well the threatening impudence
with which Trades'iUnions, and other combined
bodies of men, confident in numbers and organi-
sation, are but too ready to use towards their
masters. Corporations of this kind are tempted,
like all corporations, to behave unitedly as they
would not individually. We must repeat, then,
our regret that the bitterest and most lasting
element of strife and should have been in-
troduced into this dispute. It will be a great
advantage if any who on either side have
descended to bad temper and irritating expres-
sions, would recal all that is offensive on that
score immediately.

MONEY MARKET

As to the final result, there appears to us little
doubt, that after:terrible suffering, if the contest
be prolonged, the men must give way. They
are by no means so well provided with the
sinews of war as were the amalgamated en-
gineers ; over whom the masters obtained never-
theless a complete triumph. No doubt, if
vengeance be a gratification, some of these
masters must suffer by the strike ; by no means
all of them, however, in the actual state of
trade. But what are their sufferings com-
pared with those of the men ! What numbers
of families are put upon short allowance,
at once, and what numbers will have immediately
to pawn some of the acquisitions of their late good
employment. The master will not alter his daily
diet, or scarcely retrench a pleasure ; the work-
man, his wife, and children must immediately eat
less food and worse, and know no pleasure but
that of attending exasperating meetings, and lis-
tening to orators who enrich themselves by leading
him to penury. It is certain, we think, that the
masters will not give way; they have the means
for the longer battle, and their temper is roused,
as well as all their notions of factory government
violated. Meantime, the price of food is almost
doubled to the man who has lost half his wages
at least. He is punished both ways :he receives
less and pays more. His miserable dole from the

The Foreign exchanges were quoted yesterday
afternoon for 3 months' bills as follows :—Paris,
25.25 to 30 ; Antwerp, 25.25 to 271 ; Amsterdam,
11.171 to 17 ; Hamburgh, 13.6 to 61 ; Frankfort,

rates, excepting Trieste, show a further downward
tendency.

The Funds opened well this morning, and have
gone higher since owing to the fine weather and
the large arrivals of specie. Even the announce-
.

meat that the allied fleets have passed up the Dar-

withdrawn from the purchase of manufactured
articles. With a home market greatly diminished
by the cost of food, the operative, after starving
and fretting for weeks or months, must return to
his toil in broken spirits, and with only the hope
before him that PROVIDENCE in mercy may grant

The Earl of Aberdeen left for London this forenoon.
The Austrian Minister and Countess Colloredo have
been invited and are expected to-day.
The Belgian Minister remains at the Castle on a visit.

ODESSA.—The advices from Odessa reach to the 14th
of October, and state that the political uncertainty,
coupled with the scarcity of shipping, had brought busi-
ness almost to a stand. Transactions in grain were con-
fined to parcels required for completing cargoes, and
wheat was selling at all prices, from 335. 6d. down to
18s. per quarter. The rate of freight had again risen to
275. per quarter. Farmers, it was presumed, would sus-
pend their supplies as soon as the news of the existing
state of affairs should be known in the interior. The
steamer between Odessa and Constantinople had ceased
running.
A GRAND GAME OF CHESS.—It is said that:the En-
glish and French chess clubs, have made a novel match
to be played shortly at the Hippodrome. A gigantic
chess board will be marked out upon the turf. The
castles will be carried on the backs of real elephants,
and every other piece will be represented by an eques-
trian performer dressed in character. The kings and
queens will be in gorgeous robes, the knights in full
armour, and the bishops will represent the "true church
militant."

The Duchess of Kent arrived in town on Monday,
and visited the Duchess of Gloucester at her residence,
Gloucester House, Piccadilly. Her Royal Highness
left town at three o'clock in the afternoon, for her resi-
dence, Frogmore.

Chevalier Bunsen, the Prussian Minister, transacted
business yesterday at the Foreign Office.
The Lord Chancellor has appointed 11 o'clock on
Wednesday next, at his lordship's residence, for the re-
ception of the Lord Mayor and the other authorities of
the City of London, on which occasion the Lord Chan-
cellor will signify her Majesty's approval of the Lord
Mayor elect. The Lord Chancellor will also on the
same day, at 12 o'clock, receive the Judges, Queen's
Counsel, &c., it being the first day of Michaelmas-
Term.
The Duke of Newcastle left town last night.
Despatches were received from the Lord High Com-
missioner of the lonian Islands yesterday, at the Colo
nial Office.

ExTENSIVE ROBBERY.—Messrs. Train and Co. are
large shipowners, engaged in the Liverpool and Boston
trade in Liverpool. In June last year they had in their
service, as freight collector, a young man of 21, .Tames
St. Albin Quinn. Large sums of money passed through
his hands, and, taking advantage of this, he decamped
suddenly on the 30th of June, 1852, with about 1,3001.
which he had received for freights from various mer-
chants in Liverpool, and for which he ought to have
accounted to the cashier of Messrs. Train and Co. He
first went to London, afterwards to the Continent, and
then, returning to Liverpool, shipped in the Great Bri-
tain for Melbourne. On his arrival he set up as a gene-
ral merchant, and, according to his own account, suc-
ceeded in making about 5,000/. ; but his whereabouts
having been ascertained, a warrant was obtained in Li-
verpool, which was sent out, and he was apprehended,
and sent home in the Eagle, which arrived in Liverpool,
from Melbourne, on Saturday. Yesterday he was
brought before the magistrates at the Liverpool police-
' court, charged with embezzlement, and, evidence having
been given to prove that he had received sums of money
from Frazer, Trenholme, and Co., Hollingshed and
Tetley, Barber, G. Holt, and other firms, which he had
not accounted for, he was committed for trial to the
sessions. In only one case was he identified as the
person to whom the money was paid, but in all his
isig-
nature was recognised and sworn to by Messrs. Train's
cashier. Quinn's legal adviser, Mr. Chilton, declined to
say anything
his defence, remarking that he should '
reserve his observations for the trial.

THE COURT.—Her Majesty and the Royal Family, we
understand, according to present arrangements, intend
to remain at Windsor Castle until the third week in the
ensuing month, when the Court will remove to Osborne,
Isle of Wight, until a day or two before Christmas,
when they return to the Castle, when a few distinguished
visitors, honoured with the privilege of the intimacy of
Royalty, will probably receive invitations. The King
of the Belgians, and his august relatives, will shortly
take leave of her Majesty, and return to the Belgian
capital.
THE NEW RECORD REPOSITORY.—The new Record
Repository is progressing towards completion. In the
year ended the sth of January, 6,3001. was allowed for
it out of the public money.
CHlNA.—There was yesterday printed a Parliamentary
document containing a correspondence with the superin-
tendent of British Trade in China on the subject of
emigration from that country.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT (THIS DAY).

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Cresswell and Mr. Justice Williams.)
The second edition of the calendar, published this
morning, contains the names of 101 prisoners, being 12
more than appeared in the first edition.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 5,000 bales, of which 500 American
were taken for export, and 500 Egyptian on specu-
lation. The market closed steady, without altera-
tion in prices. The sales comprised 3,500 Ameri-
can, 100 Pernam and Maranham, at 64d. to 7i d.;
700 Egyptian, at 61d. to 91d.; and 700 Surat, at
3d. to 41d. per lb. Railway Shares were firmer.
In their report upon the dried fruit market,
Messrs. Witherby and Hansom state :
"The market has now continued in a dull and stagnant
state for several weeks past, and the clearances for con-
sumption have consequently dwindled down to a mere
trifle, those for the first 18 days of this month having
been less than during the same period of last month, say
90 tons, against 1,050 tons in October, 1852, and 700
tons in October, 1851, during the corresponding days.
The deliveries in bond during the three weeks ending
20th inst., were 140 tons, and they are still going on.
The increase in the value of the article during six of the
first eight months of this year, as compared with the
prices of 1852, have been upwards of 100 per cent. A
larger deficit might have been expected ; the result proves
that even at high prices during spring and summer, cur-
rants were still used as a necessary ingredient in the
diet of the people. A more abundant crop of apples
than has been known in this country for many years
past, has no doubt checked in part the consumption
during the last two months. There seems to be no
doubt whatever of the London clearances of raisins being
this winter equal to those of former years, which have
averaged during the last three months of each year
3,500 tons, exclusive of deliveries in bond. The official
returns show an increase of 1,285 tons in the consump-
tion of the United Kingdom during the first eight
months of this year. The characteristic of the fruit
market generally is one of suspense, the circumstances
of this opening season differing widely from those of
any previous one. Some little time may still elapse
before it adjusts itself. The great consuming period
will this year commence later than usual."
The Valetta steamer arrived at Marseilles at 8
o'clock this morning. She has on board 8 cases of
the Australian mail. The pleasing intelligence
reaches us by this opportunity that the 10,000
sovereigns dropped while being conveyed from the
steamer Osmanli to the shore at Geelong had been
recovered. The Lady Eveline, from California to
Hong Kong, had been lost. There were 24
Chinese and 6 Europeans saved.
The Argo steamer is expected to have left Mel-
bourne on the 24th August.
The dates from Melbourne by the Overland Mail
appear to be to the 2d of August.
The telegraph advises the arrival of the Baltic
steamer from New York. She has on board nearly
a million of dollars. These we may assume to be
the proceeds chiefly of the State Securities sent
over for sale from Europe. A complete panic had
arisen in the Stock Market. Several brokers had
failed, and sundry commission houses had closed.
Some of the State railroad bonds had gone down as
much as 6 and 8 per cent. Government Stocks,
however, had fallen only about 1 to 2 per cent. ;
and it is evident that the Federal Six per Cent.
Stock could not decline, when the Government is
willing to redeem it at the rate of 122 and 123.
Money matters were more stringent, and daily
getting worse. This we must expect for a time,
the intelligence taken out by the steamer Canada
being of a nature to alarm the speculators and to
make the banks exceedingly cautious. Flour ship
ments, however, will help to discharge the in
debtedness of the Americans.

FORGERY.
TVilliam Mason, described as a tailor, who pleaded
guilty yesterday to a charge of uttering five bank notes
of 51. each, was brought up for judgment.
Mr. Clarkson thought It right to intimate on behalf
of the prosecution, that there was reason to believe
that the prisoner had for a long time been carrying on
this practice of issuing forged notes. He was convicted
with a gang of forgers in 1851, arid there could be no
doubt that he was a most dangerous character.
The prisoner said he very much regretted that he had
ever fallen into the hands of bad associates, but affliction
and necessity had forced him into their society, and
driven him into crime.
The Court sentenced the prisoner to be transported
for twenty years.

POST-OFFICE ROBBERY.
George Clement, aged 34, a postman, was indicted for
stealing a post letter, containing one half-sovereign, the
property of her Majesty's Postmaster-General.
The prisoner had been a letter sorter and carrier
attached to the Charing-cross office, and on the 15th
instant, while he was engaged in the duty of sorting, he
was observed by one of the inspectors, first to examine,
and then to pocket a small letter. He was afterwards
taxed with the theft, but by some manoeuvring he
managed to drop the letter from his person, and he
then protested that he knew nothing whatever of
the letter or its contents. The inspector, however,
was so positive in his statement that he saw the pri-
soner both open and drop the letter that he was at once
given into custody on the present charge. The letter
upon being opened, was found to contain half-a-
sovereign, let into the centre of a card, and it was ad-
dressed to a person in Westminster. Upon inquiry be-
ing instituted, it turned out that it had been posted at
Walworth, and so found its way to Charing-cross in the
due course of business.

The jury found the prisoner guilty, but the court de.
['erred passing sentence.

NEW COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)

THE SENTENCE UPON HENRY HAMILTON, THE SURGEON.
This morning, upon his Lord,hip taking his seat in
this court, .Henry Scott, alias Hamilton, the surgeon
who was convicted on Monday of an indecent assault
upon a young woman named Brown, was brought up for
sentence.

Mr. Parry, who appeared for the prosecution, said
that at present he had not the advertisement which had
been issued by the defendant, but he understood that he
was not a regular surgeon.
Mr. Ballantine said that he was instructed to say that
his client had practised and walked the hospitals in 1847.
Mr. Parry said the advertisement set forth that the
defendant was a member of the Royal College of Sur-
geons, and that his name was Hamilton, when, in fact,
it was not, and the advertisement was one calculated
to deceive the unwary, and most especially women
whose diseases of a peculiar nature he professed to cure.
After some discussion, Mr. Ballantine called several
witnesses of the highest respectability, amongst whom
were four ladies, who gave the defendant a high character
for morality and decency, be having been upon visiting
terms with their families. In cross-examination by Mr.
Parry, they all admitted that they were not aware of
defendant being an advertising surgeon.
The prisoner then entered into a long statement,
denying that there was anything in the advertisement
of an improper character, and explained that the reason
of his advertising in the name of Hamilton, was that he
had been for many years the partner of Mr. Hamilton,
who had left the business, and he continued the name.
He had studied the profession of medicine for years,
and bad been duly entered as student in the hospital,
but had not kept up his course of studies sufficiently
long to entitle him to receive his diploma.
The Recorder, in passing sentence, said that, notwith-
standing the improbabilities surrounding the story told
by the prosecutrix, he felt bound to say that the jury
had come to a very proper conclusion. The case was
one of a very aggravated character, and he should sen-
tence the prisoner to twelve months' imprisonment and
hard labour.

LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.

FRANCE.
A telegraphic message received by the French
Government yesterday confirms the news already
received as to the passage of the Dardanelles by
the combined fleets of England and France, on the
14th.
M. de la Cour, the French Ambassador at Con-
stantinople, is to be, if he has not already been,
recalled from his post. For some time past mur-
murs or complaints have been heard in official
quarters respecting the manner in which French
interests have lately been represented at Constan-
tinople, and which were felt all the more under
such circumstances as the present.
It appears that the stag-hunt at Compiegne, in
which Madame Amedee Thayer, wife of the senator,
had her leg broken, was very nearly occasioning
more numerous and graver accidents. The stag
rushed into a stable, and there kept the dogs at
bay. In so doing he almost touched the horses of
the Emperor and Empress. As it was, the horses
were greatly frightened, and were with difficulty
restrained. M. Edgar Ney, in his quality of grand
huntsman, rushed on the stag, hunting-knife in
hand, and killed him.

Prince Jerome is not yet entirely recovered ;
the state of his health does not inspire uneasiness,
although it requires much care. His Imperial
Highness had a relapse, but is again getting better ;
he left his bed on Monday, and transacted business
with several persons of his household. At three
o'clock the bulletin of his health was satisfactory.
The Union, mentions a rumour that not fewer
than 15,000 copies of Ledru Rollin's pamphlet were
seized in the recent domiciliary visits.
The Bourse, which opened firmly yesterday, be-
came feeble towards the conclusion .of business,
and the Three per Cents., which were first called
at 72f. 85c., closed at 72f. 40c. for the end of the
month. The Four-and-a-Half per Cents. closed
at 99f. ; Orleans Railway shares, 1,145 f. ; Rouen,
1,002 f. 50c. ; Havre, 477 f. 50c. ; Great Northern,
836 f. 25c. ; Paris and Strasburg, 895 f. ; Paris and
Lyons, 890 f. ; Lyons to the Mediterranean, 721 f.
25c. ; Western of France, 685 f. ; Bordeaux and
Cette, 582 f. 55c. ; Great Central, 513 f. 75c. ;
Lyons and Geneva, 495 f. ; Shares of the Bank of
Credit Mobilier, 692 f. 50c.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.
The following has been received by Submarine
Telegraph, via the Hague, from Trieste, Oct. 25,
five p.m.
The Lloyd steamer has arrived from Constanti-
nople, with news to the 17th of October.
Prince Gortschakoff's reply had arrived.
General Prim is said to have obtained a
command.
The united fleets are advancing towards Gal-
lipoli.

The exportation of corn is forbidden by procla-
mation at Constantinople.
From Smyrna, Oct. 19, we learn that Janni
Katergi has been arrested. Koszta has left for
Boston.
M. de Castelbajac, the son of the French am-
bassador at St. Petersburg, arrived in Paris on
Monday from the capital, the bearer of important
dispatches. They consist of the last note of the
Russian Cabinet on the subject of the declaration
of war, in which the Emperor declares that he can•
not but repel the hoslilities of Turkey. The Czar
adds, for the benefit of the few weak-minded per-
sons who still persist in believing in his moderation
and justice, " that he is still determined, in any
case, not to do anything that can in any way in-
terfere with the integrity of the Ottoman empire."
Dispatches were received in Paris yesterday,
dated Vienna, the 24th, which bring accounts from
Constantinople of the 15th. At that date, although
the combined fleets had not arrived before Constan-
tinople, they were daily expected, and the Govern-
ment was actively preparing for hostilities. The
answer of Prince Gortschakoff was looked upon by
the Divan as a decided refusal on the part of Russia
to evacuate the principalities, and orders had been
sent to Omer Pacha to commence active hostilities
forthwith. The dispatch adds that the Turks had
passed the Danube ; but it is unnecessary to say
that that assertion, to use a French phrase,
" merits confirmation." It is curious, however,
that the same news should arrive from both sides
at one and the same time ; and it renders it ex-
tremely probable that Omer Pacha will not delay
advancing on the enemy.
The German papers state that Omer Pacha has
not only commenced hostilities, but that he has
actually crossed the Danube at Oltemiza, and
beaten the Russians.
The last telegraphic message from Constantinople
is dated the 17th October. Namik Pacha was then
about to start immediately for Paris and London,
as Extraordinary Commissioner, to contract a loan
for 4,000,0001. sterling.
The armaments were being zealously continued.
The National Gazette of Berlin states that the
Czar has given an assurance to Prussia and Austria
that lie has no intention whatever to interfere in
the internal affairs of Turkey, and that though lie
is ready to wage war, he is, however, disposed to
enter into an arrangement.
When the four principal English merchants of
St. Petersburg attended, according to request, the
hotel of the Minister of Finance on the 15th inst.,
the following communication was made to them by
that functionary :
" Gentlemen —His Majesty having learned by the Eng-
lish journals that grave disquietudes existed relative to
the persons and property of English subjects whether
in Russia or in the Baltic, should war break out, has
charged me to inform you that whatever may happen,
the persons and property of English subjects, on sea and
land, shall be fully respected. I may add, that strong
hopes are entertained that peace will be maintained. At
all events, the conviction prevails that war will not break
out between Russia and England, whatever may be the
course of events in the East."
The Turkish government has officially recognised
Schamyl and the other chiefs of the Circassian in-
surrection. It has given them titles correspond-
ing to their grades, and is sending them arms and
ammunition.

The Trieste Gazette gives the following from
Constantinople, 12th :—Within the last few days a
new effort has been made on the part of Austria in
favour of a pacific solution. On Wednesday last a
courier arrived from Vienna with conciliatory pro-
positions, but he came too late, for the declaration
of war had already been sent off to Omer Paella
and read in all the mosques. Thenew proposition
sent by the Conference of Vienna appeared to the
Divan to be in manifest contradiction with the
Note of Count de Nesselrode, which sets forth the
motives why Russia has not accepted the modifica-
tions of the Porte. The new Greek Patriarch,
Mgr. Anthimos, immediately after his nomination,
went in great pomp to the Imperial Palace to pay
his respectful homage to the Sultan, who received
him very graciously, and assured him that the
government would always maintain the liberties
and franchises granted to the Christian populations,
but added that he expected that the newly-elected
Patriarch would on his side exert all his efforts to
respond to the magnanimous sentiments of his So-
vereign. Mgr. Anthimos afterwards received the
investiture from Reschid Pacha.

A letter from Bucharest, of the 12th, says :
" We are expecting to hear every day that hostili-
ties have commenced. Prince Stirbey is still here,
but the rumour runs that he will before long take
his departure. The Minister of the Interior has
officially given notice to all persons holding forage
and other stores not to sell them too dear, as should
they do so, the Russians would not pay ready
money but give bills, and that for only part of the
price. The Russians are constructing round this
place winter quarters in the ground (bordeij), con-
sisting of square excavations covered over with
small twigs and thatch, and having two openingsabove, one to admit light and Jet out the smoke,
and the other to serve as an entrance. In the an-
cient times the Wallachian peasants lived in such
holes, but not for a century past."
The sanitary accounts received from Wallachia
and Moldavia are not satisfactory. The Govern-
ment has sent Dr. Ley, Director of the Quarantine,
to the spot to collect information. It is certain'
that Asiatic cholera has broken out at Jassy and
the neighbourhood, and has already made numer-
ous victims. The cattle which have been sent for
the supply of the Russian army have been attacked
with disease, and all along the road may be seen
trenches into which the bodies of the dead animals
have been thrown. The Austrian Government has,
period of the qua-
in consequence, increased the
rantine.

ITALY.
The Voce della Libertci, the organ of democracy
at Turin, having given an unfaithful account of
the late riot there, with a view to extenuate the
outrages committed, the Piedmontese Gazette gives
a positive denial to its assertions, particularly to
that relating to the assault upon Count Cavour's
palace, which the Voce stated was found open, and
not broken open ; whereas the official journal de-
clares that the palace had been closed by the ser-
vants at the very beginning of the tumult, but
that the rioters shook the gate violently and broke
the inner bolts, thus effecting a forcible entrance
It futher denies that there were carabineers con-
cealed in the palace as the Voce pretends, as also
that the
eriuiforceeraeldl.ed out was more imposing than
necessity required.
The Voce della Liberta and the Campana, both
Turin papers, were seized on the 19th for certain
articles on the late riot.
The General Congress of delegates from all the
