TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,--A correspondent in a morning contemporary is
anxious to know how the College of Surgeons in London

am very well pleased to have an opportunity of inform•
ing the public of what the college has long since known
—that the omission was purely an error of the printer,
and is now corrected.—l am, sir, your obedient servant,

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

A BET-M'FARLANE V. BROWN.

This was an action to recover the small sum of 17s.
6d. for money lent.
Mr. W. H. Garry appeared for the defendant, and
admitted that 12s. 6d. had been borrowed, but defendant
had deposited a very interesting specimen from one of
the Cornish mines as security. As to the 55., the de-
fendant positively denied having borrowed it, but said
that he was playing a game at backgammon, when plain-
tiff made a bet to back him. He (defendant) did not
bet, but lost the game. Plaintiff; said, "So You've lost
and have got to pay," and he handed the money over.
After some discussion, his Honour made an order for
the payment of 12s. 6d., but the mineral must be given
up.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)

IN RE DONALD I['LEAN.

This bankrupt was formerly the member for Oxford,
and was made bankrupt as a brickmaker, in consequence
of his having made bricks for building on his own estate.
The bankruptcy took place during the absence of the
bankrupt abroad in consequence of ill-health, and the
fiat was disputed without success, and after several ad-
journments the bankrupt did not surrender, he was pro-
claimed in the usual manner, and the assignees pro-
ceeded to realise the assrtts.

The total debts (some secured) amount to 140,0001.,
and about 50,0001. proved, in two dividends of ls. to-
gether, have already been paid. This was a meeting for
declaring a further• dividend, which will be a mere frac-
tion, as there is only about 3901. in hand over the ex-
penses.

[PRICE SD.

cipalities, which is fixed to take place after the signature
of the preliminaries, is made to depend on the departure
of the combined fleets, not only from the Black Sea, but
from the Straits of the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles, a
condition which could only be admitted by the maritime
Powers after the conclusion of the definitive treaty.
"2. Inasmuch as the document now-under considera-
tion tends to invest with a form strictly conventional,
bilateral, and exclusively applicable to the relations of the
Porte with Russia, the assurances relative to the religious
privileges of the Greeks—assurances which the Porte has
only offered to give to the five Powers at the same time
and in the form of a simple identic declaration. The as-
surances, in fact, once inserted in the preliminary treaty,
must then needs be reproduc,d in the definitive treaty,
and would be accompanied, moreover, by an official note
confirmatory of the said privileges exclusively addressed
to the Court of Russia, a note which, in its turn, would be
considered as annexed to the treaties—that is to say, as
having the same force and the same effect.
"3. Inasmuch as the preliminaries communicated to
Vienna are by implication witheld from any discussion in
Conference upon the modifications considered necessary to
make them correspond with the original text of the acts
which had rezeived its assent, and inasmuch as the con-
clusion of the definitive treaty contains no greater reser-
vation for its inspection and interference.
"4. Inasmuch as, while the propositions of the Porte
expressly require the revision of the treaty of 1841, so as
to make Turkey participate in the guarantees of the pub-
lic law of Europe, this condition is pased over in silence.
"The Plenipotentiaries of Austria and Prussia appre-
ciating the force of the observations offered by the Pleni-
potentiaries of France and of Great Britain, recognised in
like manner, on their part, the remarkable differences
pointed out between the Russian draught of preliminaries
and the protocols of the 13th of January and the 2d of
February. _ "ln consequence, the Conference unanimously agreed
that it was impossible to proceed with those propositions.

journals.

After the transaction of some business of merely local
interest, the court adjourned.

SUBJECTS FOR THE LAW OF SETTLEMENT.

Though we hope Mr. Baines will succeed in his laud-.
able attempt to get rid of the oppressive law of Removal,
we hope that the following exceptions may be made in
the abolition of Settlement :
That all Settlement may nut lie got rid of until a regu-
lar settler has been administered to the Emperor of
Russia. •
That the abolition of Settlement may not interfere
with the sight of any young lady of a certain uncertain
age from getting herself comfortably settled.
That if any tenant finds a decided case of Settlement
in any portion of his house, the power of removal may
not be taken away from him.
That if a creditor finds himself in debt to all the trades-
men in the neighbourhood, he may be justified in sus-
pending his own removal until he has effected a satis-
factory Settlement.
That the abolition of Settlement shall not extend to
any marriage Settlement.
That any Settlement at the bottom of any beer, wine,
or other liquid, shall not be ipso facto illegal, but may,
nevertheless, be subject to removal U it should be thought
. expedient.--Ptemi,

MEAT MARKETS.

NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.—A fair average business
was transacted at this market to-day, at full prices.
Beef, from 3s 2d to 4s 2(1 ; Mutton, 3s 6d to 4s 6d ;
Lamb, 5s 4d to Gs 8d ; Veal, 3s 8d to 5s 4d ; Pork, 3s 4d
to 4s 8,1 per Sibs, by the carcase.
SOUTHALI„ MARCH 29.—We had a fair demand for
each kind of stock at this day's market, at the following
terms :—Beef, from 3s 2d to 4s 4d ; Mutton, 3s 6d to'
5s 0.1 ; Veal, 3s lOd to 5s 2d ; Pork, 3s 4d to 4s 6(1 per
81bs, to sink the offals.

ROMFORD, MARCH 29.—The trade ruled very firm
at this market, and prices had an upward tendency, as
follows :—Beef, from 3s 4d to 4s 6a ; Mutton, 3s 8(1
to 5s 2d ; Lamb, 5s 8d to 6s 10d; Veal, 3s 5d to 5s Od ;
Pork, 3s 6(1 to 4s 8d per Blbs. Quarter old Store Pigs,
21s to 26s each.

WAR FREIGHTS AT CARDIFF.—The near prospect of
hostilities with Russia, and the great demand for coal
for steam purposes, have given an immense impulse to
the coal trade at Cardiff. Constantinople, Malta, and
Marseilles are the principal ports for which freights are
taken, and for these places vessels are eagerly taken at
almost any price. A short time ago to Malta prices
were 255. per ton, now they have have risen to the war
price of 50s. per ton, with a return freight at the same
rate.

UNITED STATES.—The commercial accounts from the
United States this week are favourable, since, while they
announce a moderate resumption of specie shipments to
this side (the Andes having brought 42.0001.), they de-
scribe an easy state of the money market, and great
general steadiness in securities of all kinds, considering
the extent of the recent rise. The failure is mentioned
of Read, Clark, and Co., an importing firm, for 70,0001.,
but with a good amount of assets. The seizure of the
American steamer Black Warrior at Havannah for an
alleged breach of Customs' regulations, although not
unlikely to be fomented into a quarrel with Spain that
may end bi a contest or Cuba, bad not thus far affected
the stook-market.

UNITED STATES.—The commercial accounts from the
United States this week are favourable, since, while they
announce a moderate resumption of specie shipments to
this side (the Andes having brought 42,0001.), they de-
scribe an easy state of the money market, and great
general steadiness in securities of all kinds, considering
the extent of the recent rise. The failure is mentioned
-of Read, Clark, and Co., an importing firm, for 70,0001.,
but with a good amount of assets. The seizure of the
American steamer Black Warrior at Havannah for an
alleged breach of Customs' regulations, although not
unlikely to be fomented into a quarrel with Spain that
may end in a contest or Cuba, had not thus far affected
the stock-market.

KALAFAT.

A letter of the 16th, from Kalafat, mentions
that for several days previous sorties of a more se-
rious kind than before, took place between the
Turks and Russians. The former mustered on
these occasions about 10,000 infantry, and 22
squadrons of cavalry. The Russians were ge-
nerally in inferior force, and, after some
skirmishing, retired, cannonading, however,
during the retreat. Kalafat, my informant
adds, had received powerful reinforcements
of late, and at the date of his letter the
army amounted to 50,000 effective men present
under arms, and 150 pieces of cannon of all kinds
—a force by no means to be despised. It was
evident from the manoeuvring of the Russians that
they had abandoned all idea of attack in that
quarter. A formal order had been received from
Omar Pasha to attack the head-quarters of the
Russians at Pojana, which is about four miles from
Kalafat. A council of war was held on the 15th at
the quarters of the General commanding, and with
the map of Kalafat and Pojana before them, the
plan of attack was discussed, explained in all its
details, resolved, and organised. That plan is de-
scribed as excellent, and the greatest confidence ex-
pressed of its being successful. In conformity with
it the Russians were to be attacked with 18 batta-
lions of infantry, 36 pieces of cannon, 28 squadrons
of regular cavalry, and 5,000 irregulars, cavalry as
well as infantry. The day was not fixed at the
Council, but it was considered probable that it would
take place on the 21st or 221 The persons present
at the Council were full of hope that it would be
an important affair, and that it would have the
serious result of driving the Russiahs out of Little
Wallachia, and of enabling the Turkish army to
abandon their comparatively defensive attitude on
that part of the D.tnube, and assume an active and
offensive one, which is generally advantageous to
the morale of an army, and particularly to the
Turkish army.
Colonel Dieu arrived at Kalafat in the night of
the 15-16. He was sent thither by Omer Pasha, in
order to decide the question of Kalafat. The Council
of War assembled immediately after his arrival.
The orders of Omer Pacha were to the effect that the
General Commanding should conform himself to the
wishes of Col. Dieu in every respect. His plan of
the battle was discussed and accepted on the morn-
ing of the 16th, and the attack decided for the 22d,
with 25 battalions of infantry, 40 pieces of cannon,
28 squadrons of cavalry, and 5,000 irregulars. The
affair was to come off before Pojana ; so that if the
resolution of the Council be carried out by this
time an important action will have been fought.
The general conviction prevailed that the Turkish
troops would be successful, and the presence of
Colonel Dieu filled all with ardour and confidence
in the result. The intimacy of the alliance and the
friendly feeling existing between France and Tur-
key were considered very great when the Turkish
Generals are ordered to obey a French officer who
has only the rank of Colonel.

WAR FREIGHTS AT CARDIEr.—The near prospect of
hostilities with Russia, and. the great demand for coal
for steam purposes, have given an immense impulse to
the coal trade at Cardiff. Constantinople, Malta, and
Marseilles are the principal porl,,s for which freights are
taken, and for these places veJssels are eagerly taken at
almost any price. A short time ago to Malta prices
were 255. per ton, now they have have risen to the war
price of 503, per ton, with. a, return freight at the ,Fame
rate.

GERMAN POWERS.

A telegraph despatch says, a rumour was in cir-
culation yesterday (Wednesday) at Vienna, that a
memorandum had been drawn up by the Austrian
Government, which declared that it would consider
the passage of the Danube as a violation of existing
treaties. This report was received with general
satisfaction.

The sth, 6th, 7th, and Bth corps of the army of
Italy had been placed on the war establishment.
A letter from Vienna, in the Czas, says—Tn the
audience which Baron de Meyendorff had with the
Emperor, his Excellency handed to his Majesty a
note from the Cabinet of St. Petersburg, in winch
the neutrality of Austria, in accord with Prussia
and the Gormanic Coatedera.tion, is recognised.
Russia declares herself satisfied with that attitude
of Central Europe. The eventual occupation of
Servia and Bosnia is agreed to as in conformity
-with the policy of neutrality. M. de Fouton 's
to proceed from Bucharest to Belgrade to pay
attention to this aiftir.

We find the following in the Austrian Corre-
spondencc :—" The Austrian Government has just
addressed a despatch to its ambassadors and diplo-
matic agents to the States of Germany, by which
they are at present authorised to express the hope
of the Cabinets of Vienna and Berlin that all the
States of the Germanic Confederation will unite in
the efforts of Austria and Prussia in support of a
policy conformable to German interests.

- A letter from Berlin of the 26th says :—" In all
parts of the kingdom hatred of Russia is manifested
in the most striking way. Count Sch erin, Pre-
sident of the Second Chamber, has received letters
congratulating him on his patriotic conduct in the
Chamber. It is generally known that the Govern-
ment cannot under any circumstances join Russia.
If the least doubt existed on this point, addresses
would be sent up en masse. It is known that at
Vienna public opinion is entirely in favour of the
Western Powers. The venerable patriot Arndt
has just published a work entitled Pro Populo
Germanic°, which contains judicious reflections on
the Eastern question.

EXTENSIVE FIRE AT SHADIVELL

At 5 o'clock yesterday morning, a fire, attended with
a considerable destruction of property, broke out in the
premises of Mr. W. Read, eating-house proprietor, High-
street, Shadwell. The fire was discovered by a police-
officer, who immediately gave the alarm. It was, how-
ever, a work of no little difficulty to make the inmates
aware of their danger. Upon being aroused, they found
the flames ascending the staircase so fiercely that they
were compelled to make a precipitate retreat out of the
back windows, but fortunately they succeeded in gain-
ing the street, comparatively speaking, uninjured. They
had barely placed their feet upon the pavement, when
the flames penetrated the roof, rose to a tremendous
altitude, and fired, almost simultaneously, the pre-
mises of Mr. R. Edwards, butcher, No. 11, in the
same street, and those of Mr. C. Eyles, an upholsterer,
No. 9. The men upon their arrival found that there
was not the least chance of saving any part of the
premises in which the flames commenced. The fire-
men, aided by an abundance of water, were enabled
to arrest the progress of the flames ; but the main
body of fire continued to rage for some hours. At
length one of the houses on fire was observed to tremble,
and there was barely time to call the brigade away when
the remainder of the structure fell over with a fearful
crash. Fortunately none of the firemen received the
least injury. A considerable amount of damage was
done, which is thus officially reported by Mr. Braidwood :
Wednesday, March 29, 1854, 4 30 a.m. : Called to
a fire in High-street, Shadwell, which did the following
damage :—No. 10 : Mr. W. Read, eating-house pro-
prietor. Premises burned down and contents consumed;
cause of fire unknown. Gas was used on the premises.
Contents were insured in the Phcenix and the building
in the Globe fire-offices.—No. 11 : R, Edwards, butcher.
Premises and their contents nearly destroyed. Building
insured in the London, and contents in the Sun.—No.
9: C. Eyles, upholsterer. Building insured in the
London, and contents not insured.—No. 8 : Messrs. T.
and J. Howetson, outfitters. Roof, staircase, and side
wall severely damaged by fire, and contents by heat and
water. Insured in the Globe and London fire-offices.—
No. 12 : H. Levy, outfitter. Stock and furniture on
ground floor and ceilings damaged by water.--Nos. 235,
236, 237, and 238, on the opposite side, occupied as
shops, have their fronts much damaged by fire."
London, England, 1854-03-30

condemned to death by the Austrian court-martial
at Bologna, on a charge of having conspired to set
a large barrack on fire, for the purpose of giving
the signal for a general outbreak. The Pope has
ordered the revision of the proceedings against the
four persons lately condemned to death at Faenza,
and who had excited such interest in that town, as
to lead to a proposition to send a deputation to the
Pope to intercede in their favour. The Pope's re-
prieve, however, arrived before the deputation
had been formed. The proceedings in the case
of the murder of Count Pellegrino Rossi are
stated by this correspondent to fill several reams of
paper, and even the mere resume of it is described
as being of immense length. The case is to be
brought before the Consulta in the course of next
month. AM. Grandoni, a landowner and ex-co-
lonel, who had been in prison for the last five years,
is mentioned as being among the accused ; but it is
