NORTH METROPOLITAN.

A special meeting of this company was held yesterday
at the offices, Great George-street, to consider a bill in
compliance with the standing orders of the .House of
Lords ; Mr. Malins in the chair.
The solicitor read the heads of the bill for extending
the authorised line to the Great Western Railway and to

was carried unanimously.

number paid was 5,213,065, and the amount paid
9,920,296/. 9s. 10d.

named John Murphy and William Conden, were even-
tnt.ilu'aily locked up, and brought before Mr. Combo, who
sat for Mr. Trail yesterday, at the police court, with
two men of the Lancashire Militia, with their heads and
faces sadly contused. Their names are John Vince,
corporal, and John Brown, private. Brown deposed to
the act that he was first attacked by Murphy, and
severely beaten with a quart pot, and Corporal Vince
provcd that lie was beaten down, and whilst in that
condition he eas kicked in a brutal manner by the other
prisoner. Mr. Coinbe commented nn the disgraceful
transaction, and its being on the Sabbath-day made the
offence worse. He then fined Murphy 40s. or six
weeks' imprisonment, and 20s. or one month in the case
of the other prisoner. It is much to the credit of the
officers of the militia that they did their utfnost to aid
the police, whose conduct was praiseworthy. . The pri.,
soutrs were removed by the gaoler to the Poo ceu.

THE BALTIC.

FINLAND, June 21.—Off the Island of Renskar,
in Baro Sound, the united fleets of England and
France, comprisinc, 23 sail of the line, five first
class frigates, and 18 steamers, in all 51 sail, lie at
anchor, affording a spectacle the grandeur of which
in a naval point of view it is more easy to conceive
than to describe. There fly the flags of the two
great maritime Powers of the world, who have
cordially united in one common cause, that of
avenging the unprincipled aggression of Turkey by
the despot of the north of Europe.
.On the 14th inst., the day after the junction of
the two fleets, Sir C. Napier, accompanied by Rear
Admirals Corry and Chads, paid an official visit to
Vice Admiral,Parseval Deschenes on board the In-
flexible, 90, the yards of all the French ships being
manned, and their crews giving three hearty
cheers. Tile French Admiral having signified his
intention to return the visit on the following day,
the captains of the various English ships repaired
on board the Duke of Wellington at au appointed
hour, to be present on the interesting occasion,
and as a mark of respect to the senior officer of the
French fleet, who received compliments similar to
those given the day previously-to our gallant Com-
mander-in-Chief.

During the forenoon of the 16th, the ships of the
English division of the fleet went to general
quarters, firing shot and shell at targets moored at
distances of 80+1 and 1,000 yards. The Porcupine,
steam-sloop, Lieutenant-Commander Jackson, was
despatched to Stockholm to procure fresh pro-
visions.

The Vulture, steam-frigate, Captain F. H.
Glasse, arrived early in the morning of the 17th,
with despatches from Rear-Admiral Plumridge,
who in his flag-ship the Leopard, 16, Captain Gif-
lard, accompanied by the Valorow,l6, Capf.Buckle,
and Odin, 16, Captain Scott,' alter cruising the
Aland islands, where they captured some of the
endiny's vessels(one of which was a revenue cruiser),
had proceeded to Tornea, the northern point of the
Gulf of Bothnia. At Uleaborg and two other
places on the eastern coast of the gulf, they sunk,
burnt, or otherwise destroyed upwards of 40 Rus-
sian merchant ships, many of them first-class ves-
sels, together with a vast number of barrels con-
taining tar, and other ships' stores, purposely
abstaining from doing any injury to the houses, or
in any way molesting the inhabitants, who duly
appreciating such an act of forbearance on the part
of the British, showed the officers and men every
hospitality in their power.

TRE WAR.

THE RUSSIANS TURN THEIR BACK ON
CONSTANTINOPL E.
CRONSTA.DT (in Transylvania), JUNE 19.—The
Russians are leaving Wallachia in all haste. They
take with them the horses, oxen, wheat, and' every
thing moveable on which they can lay their hands,
leaving nothing but their wretched paper money.
BUCHAREST, JUNE 15.—The march of a British
detachment from Varna,to Pravadi on the 12th
was announced on the same day to the commander
of the Russian corps of observation stationed below
Barsardsbik, by Cossacks.- The Russian corps at
once commenced a movement in retreat.
The official roll of the Russian army of the Danube
shows a loss of 50,000 men since the crossing of the
Pruth.

SILISTRIA.
VIENNA, Monday.--Advices from Hermanstadt,
of the 26th, state that the siege of Silistria was
raised on the 22d by the Czar's orders, and that
the Russians were retiring eat masse. Their re-
treat was being effected from all parts of Wallachia,
in the direction of Felishan and Birlat.
Giurgevo has been evacuated.

THE BLACK SEA.
CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 15.—The Russians have
planted the sixteen guns taken from the Tiger ou
the newly constructed batteries of- Odessa.
A conspiracy has been discovered in the Russian
garrison of Carabeg, and a number of officers have
been sent to Siberia.

Schamyl is said to be near Tiflis with 33,000 men.
A letter from the same-place says, Schamyl Bey
is again about to attack the Russians. He has
seized the Caucasus road,-and not a drununer boy
can be sent to reinforce the army except by the
route of the Caspian. He is said to meditate an
attack on Tiflis with a force of 20,000 men ; and
there is little doubt but that if the Turkisk army
were in a state of efficiency Georgia might be in-
vaded on two sides, while there is every probability
the population would rise against the Russian
dominion. Baradagh, a province torn from Persia,
is also most disaffected, and, on the whole, an
auxiliary force from Europe might be of great
service if employed in this quarter. The expedi-
tion of Sir E. Lyons to the coast has had great
moral effect, and the inhabitants of the eastern
shores of the Black Sea are looking forward to
great changes from the war in which their op-
pressors are engaged.

THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA AND THE

KING OF PRUSSIA.
The King has, it is said, returned in excellenb
health from his tour, and proceeded forthwith to
Sans Souci, where the Queen arrived on the 221
from Dresden. General Grunwald, aide-de-camp
general to the Emperor Nicholas, reached Gu.m-
binnen on the 17th, where he complimented the
King in the name of his Sovereign. The general
remained a day at Gumbinnen to repose after the
King's departure, and then returned to St. Peters-
burg. Lieut.-Colonel Count Munster, Prussian
military envoy at the latter place, also arrived at
Gumbinnen on the same day, and after taking the
King's commands returned on the 18th to his post.
The King proceeded as far as Schirwindt, close to
the Russian frontier, to Inspect some landwehr, and
then, after passing Sunday at Gumbinnen, where
his Majesty gave a dinner to the authorities and
district States, continued his tour to Angerburg.
The King's reception has been most enthusiastic.
The Prince of Prussia has visited Dantzic and other
places for the purpose of inspecting the infantry, of
which he is colonel-general.

CROOKED POLICY OF RUSSIA.

Western Powers is causing considerable anxiety
here. Central Europe will be more than ever un-
der the pressure of Russia if the present opportunity
of abating the power of that state is criminally al-
lowed to go by. The Vienna and Berlin cabinets
encourage the newspapers in their service to state
that the Czar is greatly irritated with the Emperor
of Austria and King of Prussia on account of their
present attitude, but nobody believes it.

At starting yellow took the lead, closely followed by
red, but the go-off was not altogether so good as might
have been wished. Yellow and red at first left the other
two boats a long way astern, but they mended their
positions. Green, after a mile or so, overhauled yellow,
which had dropped astern after giving place to red.

It is stated in a letter quoted by the Parlamento
of Turin, of the 2d, that the tomb of Odoacer,
King of the Heruli, has been discovered at Ravenna
by some workmen, who, it appears found the body
encased in a suit of armour of which they
broke' into pieces and secretly sold. The matter
was, however, soon divulged, and further investi-
gation has led to the discovery of some other pre-
cious articles, which had escaped the rapacity of
the culprits, and of a monumental inscription con-
firming the fact of its being the tomb of Odoacer.
The Spanish Ambassador to the Court of Parma
hai presented to the Duchess Regent a letter, in

Letters have been received from Rome to the
20th. The consistory which was to have been
held on the 19th had been postponed to the
23rd in consequence of the funeral of Cardinal
Fornari, which took place on the 19th. The
ceremony was performed in the church of St.
Philip of Neri, adjoining the Gabritlli Palace,
where the deceased prelate resided. The Pope
was present with all the Sacred College, the
prelature, and the municipal authorities, and
his Holiness pronounced the absolution. A
considerable number of the clergy and of the
inhabitants were present in order to testify their
veneration for the deceased. A number of French
residents also attended on the occasion. The de-
ceased Cardinal was born at Rome in 1788, of
parents of the lowest class of society. He was dis-
tinguished for his virtues and theological attain-
ments, and was for some time nuncio at Paris. His
nomination to the rank of cardinal in petto took
place in December, 1846, but he was not formally
proclaimed cardinal. until September, 1850. A
month ago there were three cardinals who had been
nuncios at Paris ; at present only one remains, the
aged Cardinal Macchi, senior member of the Sacred
College.

present year, without having been compelled to
resort to any hostilities of import.
All Russian prisoners (with the exception•of in-
firm persons, women, and -children, who are to be
et at liberty) are sent to England, unless an ex-
change can be effected on the spot.
The English and French officers sfrequ3ntly ex-
change visits, and are already on terms of intimacy,
a circumstance which, although to ba expected, is
nevertheless gratifying.

THE CAPTURE OF TORNEA BY THE
ENGLISH.

STOCKHOLM, June 16.--A letter from Tornea
fully confirms the description given of the panic
caused all along the coast by the appearance of the
flying squadron. At Wasa, Carleby, Brahestad,
Uleaborg, Kemi, Huttala, and Tornea, the inhabi-
tants were not prepared for a hostile visit, much
less did they expect such energetic punishment as
that practised by our cruisers. Strict orders have
been given to hum or otherwise destroy all stores of
contraband of war, and everything used as materials
forshipbuilding, whether puolic or private property.
Tornea was taken possession of by our sailors on the
morning of the Bth inst., and no resistance offered
on the part of the Russians. Rear-Admiral Plum-
ridge conducted in person the landing of the men,
which occupied several hour, as the wind was blow-
ing very fresh off the shore at the time. At first the
inhabitants, expecting violence from the captors,
assumed a dogged sullenness, approaching to a hos-
tile feeling ; but proclamations, written in the
Swedish language, which were distributed by our
officers, soon tended to effect a change if not in the
sentiments at least in the conduct and outward
appearance of the inhabitants, and thus it was pos-
sibleto take possession of the place, the British flag
waving not only in the harbour but also in the in-
terior of the to tvn, and the night passed off quietly,
without any molestation being offered to the marines
and blue-jackets forming the little garrison. It was
understood to be the admiral's intention to retain
possession of Tornea, and occupy it with British
troops, for which purpose some entrenchments were
to be thrown up on the land side, to protect the
garrison from a sudden surprise on the part of the
Russians. Up to the 9th inst. no property, either
public or private, had been destroyed, but the in-
habitants had been warned to abstain froni taking
any steps which could be construed by the captors
into hostility, and at the same time enjoined to
send away their women and children. After
having made sure of .the northern coast of the
Gulf of Bothnia, Plumridge's squadron was to
scour the southern part of the coast. The friends
of Lieutenant Crewe Read, of the Hecla, who was
so severely wounded at Ecknaes, will be glad to
hear that that gallant young ()facer is going on
most favourably, and that he hopes in a few weeks
to be in a condition to report himself recovered,
and to return to his duty.

As a proof of the readiness with which the loan
demanded by the Government is being subscribed
for, the ileraldo, of the 21st, states that of 85 dis-
tricts of the province of Albacete, 70 have already
offered to pay their part within the ;period fixed,
and that a number of the inhabitants of the other
districts have also made the same offer.

LAUNCH OF TUB DISPATCH AND GUN-BOAT ARROW.

—Yesterday afternoon the Arrow, one of the four gun,
boats ordered by the Admiralty to be built by Mare
and Co., of Blackwall, was sent off the stocks. The
Arrow has been built within ten weeks, and to the
credit of her builder it should be stated that she has
been launched in so complete a state that instead
of requiring some scores of men to finish her in the
docks, she proceeds to-day to Deptford, and will
be placed in the engineers' hands. Messrs. Hum-
phreys and Co. havo the machinery all ready, and with
equal rapidity it is expected her engines will be fitted
and the ship will be completed for sea in the coursu of a
fortnight. As a proof of the great expedition used in
building this swift despatch and formidable gun-boat,
we understand that no less than 9001. were paid on Sa-
turday for shipwrights' wages alone for last week. The
ship looked well, her lines promise a good rate of speed,
and her quarters evince excellent capacity for working
the immense guns with which she is to be armed.
The head-quarters, band, and two troops of the 15th
Hussars left Chatham yesterday for Reading, where
they billeted for the night. They will leave Reading to-
day, en route for Exeter, where they will be stationed
for some time, to remount and enlist recruits among the
agricultural population of Dovonshir,..
On Tnursday the first division of the 27th Regiment,
or Entoskilleus, embarked at Queenstown on board the
Soubadar transport for conveyance to Calcutta. The
service companies are divided into four divisions, and the
remaining- three will embark on the arrival of the trans-
ports. The captain and officers of the Soubadar expect
to arrive at their destination i❑ 100 days. The crew
number over 50, of whom 46 are Lascars. In conse-
quence of the constant practice of smoking on board ship
.and the dangers apprehended from it since the loss of
the Europa transport, the attention of the Horse Guards
has been directed to it, and a general order has been
issued, a copy of which arrived in Cork garrison on
)tlonday, prohibiting troops when about to embark for
foreign service from taking lucifer matches or other com-
bustible matter with them. Tobacco smoking, is per-
mitted i❑ the army and on board ship, but the attention
of commanding officers will in future be directed to the
practice, SO as to prevent danger from fire.

RUSSIAN TROOPS ON THE AUSTRIAN

FRONTIER.

Letters from Lemberg, of the 18th, state that
Russia continues to send considerable troops to-
wards the Austrian frontier. There is not a single
town in the Government of Kiew that has not a
garrison. A. camp has been established near Dub-
uer. Three regiments of the guards which had re-
cently arrived at Kiew have received orders to
proceed to the frontiers of Gallicia.

CONVENTION FOR THE OCCUPATION OF
THE PRINCIPALITIES BY AUSTRIA.
The entry of the Austrians into the Principalities
is decided on, and Count • Coronini, with the first
division, to be followed closely by a second, is ready
to descend the Danube to Giiirgevo, whence he
will march to Bucharest. M. do Bruck is to com-
municate with the Porte as to the steps necessary
to be taken with a view to this occupation of the
Principalities by the Austrians.

The following, according to the Independance of
Brussels, are the essential points of the convention
signed on the 14th, at Constantinople, for the occu-
pation of the Danubian provinces by Austrian
troops :---

" If the reply of the Russian Cabinet be negatived,
the Austrian army will be ready to immediately carry
into execution the threat contained in the summons, by
entering the principalities by the left bank of the
Danube. The Porte permits it, and Austria engages to
do it. Such is the general spirit of the treaty. As to
its special conditions, the Austrian Cabinet takes as its
starting-point the independent existence of the Otto-
man territory, and the 'balance of power in Europe.
It recapitulates the principles laid down by the Con-
ference of Vienna, with the common accord of the
four Powers who ook part in that conference, and
declares itself ready to use all the force at its
disposal to carry out the object of that concert. The
Emperor of Austria, in consequence, pledges himself
towards the Sultan to employ the troops necessary to
obtain the evacuation of the Danubian Principalities
by the Russian army, in the event of the summons ad-
dressed to Russia to that effect remaining unattended
to. While reserving to himself the direction of the
aerrmyfohrief will'tle common good, the
nevertheless inform
Austrianoperations e
Commanders-in-Chief

ds-in-C n
the Turkish General-in-Chief of his combinations and
his movements. On entering the principalities, the
Austrian army will reestablish the former governmeint
within the limits of the r;ghts accorded by the Porte
to the country. Austria will not treat for peace with
Russia except the integrity of the Ottoman Empire be
guaranteed, and the sovereignty of the Sultan placed
beyond the reach of attack. The Austrian troops are
to evacuate the principalities as soon as possible after
the conclusion of peace. Such are the principal clauses
of the Austro•Turkish convention, and they are, in fact,
conformable to the engagements taken by Austria in
the last protocols of the conference of Vienna."

DENMARK.

According to accounts from Copenhagen of the
9th the Ministerial crisis was not yet at an end.
Several lists were in circulation, but none had ac-
quired anything of an official character.
Opinions also differed as to the real motive which
led to the resignation of the Danish Cabinet, inde-
pendently of the untenable position in which it was
placed by the vote of want of confidence of the two
Chambers.
The National gazette of -Berlin remarks that the
retirement en masse of the Danish Ministry coin-
cides with the presence at Copenhagen of Admiral
Napier, and with the interview which the Admiral
after several fruitless attempts, succeeded in ob-
taining with King Frederic. According to this
journal, Sir Charles Napier complained that the
rigorous neutrality established by the Danish Mi-
nistry prevented, among other things, any Danish
pilot from serving on board an English man-of-war.
When, in spite of the resistance of the Cabinet,
which was favourable to Russia, the Admiral was

From these returns it appears that the metallic
reserve has advanced 44 millions in Paris and 33
millions in the branch banks. The discount accom-
modation has increased 5 millions in Paris and de-
clined 41 millions in the departments. The advances
on French rente have declined 33/4 millions in
Paris, and 11 million in the departments. Advances
on railway shares and bonds have fallen off 6i
millions in Paris and 1i million in the branch
banks. On the side of the liabilities, the notes in
circulation have diminished 1 million in Paris, and
2i milhons in the provinces. The accounts current
of the public have increased 40 millions in Paris,
and 5 millions in the departments. The whole
amount of the metallic reserve is at present 367
millions to 595± millions of notes in circulation.
We are informed that MM. Leroy, Chabrol, and
Co., whose suspension of payments has recently
been announced, have made an offer to their
creditors to pay the whole of ths•wir debts, with
interest, within 12 months, in four quarterly in-
stalments. Creditors in Paris to the amount of
13,000,000 f. have, it is said, already assented to
this arrangemet, and it is hoped in a few days the
bankruptcy will be superseded, and the house able
to resume business. In this case, it is said that M.
Leroy will retire from the concern, and M. Chabrol
be joined by a new partner of large capital.
Public securities and railway shares experienced
yesterday a slight rise. The Three per Cents.

"Sir—With reference to your letter of the 10th inst.,
transmitting copy of one from the clerk to board of
guardians of Stepney Union, relative to the ease of
thirteen men of colour brought from Shanghai in the
merchant ship Racer, who have become chargeable to
the Stepney Union, I am commanded by my Lords
Commissioners of the Admiralty to acquaint you, for
the information of Viscount Palmerston, that as this
ship belongs to the United States, within whose terri-
tories her owners reside, no steps can be taken by my
lords for maintaining and affording a passage to the men
in question under the act, 64 sec., of the ith and Bth

A MAN KILLED BY LYING ON A RAILWAY.—On
Tuesday night, about half-past ten o'clock, as an empty
waggon and cattle train was proceeding from Peter.
borough to Leicester, about half a mile from the Syston
junction, the driver saw by the light of the moon some-
thing lying across the rails a short distance before the
engine. He was unable to see what it was, but thought
it looked like a heap of soil. When the enginePasart
over it, however, it was lifted up so much that he
the
first thought it was off the line ; and on
junction he toldthe pointsman there that sorieseth:ingg had
been d
been placed on the line. Anther trail' due
short time ; he did not, therefore, go to see w
what it was
immediately, but after the train had
passed he went, and

framework-knitter, of Syston.
Bead Inn, at Syston, whewreasitrewinevs" identified as 'that'll
of Sarson,
From the evidence adduced at the inquest it appeared
that the deceased was much given to drinking,
and when intoxicated used to wander about very much,
and would lie down anywhere to sleep. He had a sister
hying at Quorndon, and it was suggested that he was
probably going to see her, as he had before taken the
same way at night for that purpose. He left the house
of a neighbour about 10 o'clock in a state of intoxication,
saying he should go home and go to bed. His house,
however, was in a direction exactly opposite to that in
which he went. There was nu evidence which could
lead to the conclusion he had any intention of committing
suicide. The neighbour at whose house he had been
heard him say that he should " make a hale in the
water," but he was in the habit of making such remarks
when intoxicated, and no one noticed them. P. C.
Ward, who assisted in removing the body, expressed
opinion, from the position of the head, that the deceased
was asleep when the train ran over him. The jury
gave a verdict of " Found dead, from being run over by
a train, but whether the deceased had placed himself
there for the purpose of self-destruction, or had Wu
down in consequence of being drunk, there was DO etri•
denco to flow. '—kekester Journal.

THE WOOLLEN MADE.

(From the Leeds Mercury of this day,.)
LEEDS, April 11.—The market for woollen cloth has
scarcely been so active this morning as on Saturday last,
the purchases being confined to small quantities to make
up orders, or sales were effected by the clothiers mak-
ing some sacrifice in price, so as to offer their goods as
" bargains." There is no change in the general condi-
tion of the trade of the district. The war question
occupies much attention among all classes, and induces
a degree of flatness in trading transactions that it is
almost safe to say would be removed by the commence-
ment of hostilities in good earnest by the English and the
French in aid of Turkey.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, April 11.—Time market has
been steady to-day, and all goods of a seasonable cha-
racter were readily bought up. There is not much busi-
ness doing in the warehouses, except with buyers of a
smaller class, very few of the wholesale buyers having
been in the market lately.
ROCHDALE, April 10.--In the flannel market there
has been little or nothing doing. There is no disposi-
tion on the part of the merchants to purchase at any
price. We have had a limited demand for wool, and
prices continue in favour of the buyer.
