LAW INTELLIGENCE--(THIS DAY).

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn:)

THE ISLINGTON CATTLE MARKET-IN RE WESTBROOK.

This bankrupt, it will be remembered, was one of the
directors of the New Islington Cattle Market. The
adjudication was disputed at great length, but was con-
firmed, and to-day was appointed for his last examina-
tion.

The accounts having only been filed this morning, an
adjournment was granted. From the statement of
Messrs. Hart Brothers, the accountants, it appears the
private debts are about 1,3001. ; assets, 3001. ; and
liabilities on account of the market, about 3,6001.

THE TRAGEDY ON BOARD THE HEROINE.—Captain.
Daniel Cormack, of the Heroine, whose life was sacri-
ficed to the cruelty of the savages on the coast of Africa
was nearly related to Dr. Morgan O'Connell, of
Kilmal-
lock, having been married to a sister of that gentleman.
His afflicted widow and an only son live at Lee, Kent,
near London, where, says a Cork paper, they daily and
hourly expect the arrival of the unfortunate captain.
He was the owner cf the Heroine, and was commencing
to make a rapid fortune when he met with his death
under the dreadful circumstances already detailed.
LONDON AND WESTMINSTER SUBTERRANEAN RAIL-
WAY.—A company has just started, having for its ob-
ject the construction of a new subterranean line of
railway from Leicester-square to the Bricklayers
Arms station of the South-Eastern Railway. It is
proposed that the line should pass under the Thames
between Hungerford and Waterloo bridges, proceed-
ing thence, by way of the New Cut, St. George's
Circus, and the London-road, to the Old Kent-road.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

The Moniteur of this day (Saturday) contains an
article refuting the assertions made in the Russian
manifesto. It proves that it is Russia, and not
Turkey, that has violated treaties, and it is not
correct, it says, to state that the principal Powers
of Europe have sought in vain by their exhorta-
tions to shake the blind obstinacy of the Ottoman
Government.

A telegraphic despatch of the 31st ult., from Con-
stantinople, confirms the report of a battle near
Batoum.

Accounts from Constantinople of the 3d inst.,
received by telegraph, state that the Turks have
taken the Russian fortress on the Skefkatil by
storm.

From Paris we learn that there have been a
,treat number of rumours in circulation at the
i3ourse, all of them of more or less doubtful au-
henticity ; but the most serious one is to the effect
that the tables have been turned on the Turks,
who in a second engagement have been worsted.

The great event, however, of the day, is the tele-
graphic despatch published in the Mouiteur an-
nouncing, in the most positive manner, not only
the arrival of the united French and English
fleets in the Bosphorus, but the commencement of
hostilities on the Asiatic frontier, and that the
Turks have had quelques succas. The despatch
has not been published precisely as it arrived. One
clause has been omitted, which stated that " the
Turks refused all propositions for an arrangement."

The Count de Nesselrode has addressed note to
all the Ministers representatives of Russia at the
different Courts of Europe, with instructions to
communicate it to the different Governments.
This important document is dated the 31st of Oct.,
and the following is the substance of it. The Em-
peror of Russia recalls to mind all his preceding
declarations with regard to his firm determination
(vo/onte) not to attack or injure the Sovereignty of
the Ottoman Empire, and repeats that he has occu-
pied the Principalities merely for the purpose of
having in his hands a material guarantee until
he shall have obtained the moral satisfaction.
to -Which he has a right on the part of Tur-
key. The Count de Nesselrode adds that in
the present struggle Russia will limit her opera-
tions, and remain on the defensive. She will not
pass the Danube. The Emperor recommends the
powers not to aggravate the state of affairs by an
intervention which would produce general embar-
rasiment, but to leave to that war its local charac-
ter. He even recommends to them to continue
their pacific negotiations, to which he will give his
assistance, without sacrificing any of his principal
demands (reclamations). The note concludes with
the following significant words :—" The Emperor
of Russia will regulate his future conduct by that
of England and of France."

' delivered a suitable speech on the occasion, and
her Majesty returned a gracious reply.
The Marquis de Bayamo has been nominated
envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary
in Mexico ; M. St. Sandoval, at present mini-
ster at Mexico, minister at Turin ; and M. de
Mora, consul-general at London.
A letter says that the funeral of M. de Men-
dizabal had ,taken place with great pomp. The
pall was held by six ex prime ministers, and
Count do San Luis, the present president of the
Council of Ministers, was one of the principal
mourners.

It is understood that the cemetery question is
settled. Protestants may construct cemeteries,
and the funerals may have the usual appendages
of hearses, mourning coaches, &c. No chapel
will be allowed in the cemetery, nor any open
celebration of. funeral rites ; but when a fimeral
procession enters the cemetery, there will be no-
thing to prevent the funeral service being read
therein ; and the repeatedly expressed intentions
of the leading members of the Government are,
that without going further than this in any official
document the greatest toleration will be shown.
It is even said that a high personage has lately in-
timated his intention to attend in person on the
next occasion when a Protestant funeral may take
place there.
Mr, 0 tway has recently had an interview with
the Count of San Luis on the differential duty
question, and it appears to be the intention
of the Government to bring forward a measure in
a liberal sense on this subject, for presentation
to the Cortes, who alone are competent to settle it.
The appointment of the Marquis of Viluma as
president of the Senate will not occasion any
vacancy in the Spanish legation at Paris. The
marquis will continue to retain the appointment
of envoy, and a chargé d'affaires will act during
his absence from Paris. It is probable that Senor
Martinez de la Rosa will be elected President of
the Congress, as he will doubtless be brought for-
ward again by the combined parties who formed
the Electoral Union, and will, it is said, not be
opposed by the Government.
The Marquis of Santa Cruz has refused the ap-
pointment of vice-president of the Senate, conferred
on him by the Government.
Seven thousand dollars have been allowed to
General Pavia for travelling expenses to Manilla ;
and his serectary (Senor Garcia Hernandez) has
6,000 dollars per annum.
The 6th being Sunday, the Stock Exchange was
not open.

M. de Kisseleff communicated this note on Thurs-
day to M. Drouyn de Lhuys, and in doing so com-
pleted the communication by adding verbally, in
the name of the Czar, that if a single English or
French ship should pass into the Black Sea, he
should consider it as a declaration of war.

A letter from Bucharest of the 31st ult. says :
The following is a copy of the letter addressed by
Prince Stirbey to the Extraordinary Council of
Administration :

" The present state of things requires- us to absent
ourselves temporarily from our principality. We con-
fide, until new orders, the Government of the country to
the Council of Administration. H. E. the First Boyard,
Grand Ban Philippesco,, President of the Council, will
come to an understanding with the States of the depart-
ments, to prevent the interruption of business, and to
keep up activity. The most important affairs shall be
submitted to the Council of Administration for its
opinion.
" BARBA DEMETRIUS STIRBEY.
"JOHN MANU, Secretary of State."
A. letter from Vienna of the sth, states that Prince
Ghika had arrived at Czernowie, where he proposed
to remain some time.

The Invalide of St. Petersburg states that the
Emperor has received a report from Prince Mens•
chikoff, stating that on the 11th ult. eight gun-
boats of the flotilla of the Danube, with two war
steamers, in going up the Danube towards Galatz,
were fired on by batteries thrown up by the TurkFi
near Isactcha, but that they returned the fire with
success, and arrived safe at their destination. On
this occasion Captain-Lieutenant Varpakhovsky
and six seamen were killed, and 46 seamen wounded.
The Emperor has accorded 12 insignia of the mili-
tary order to the men who distinguished themselves
in this affair.

The Journal de Saint Petersburg says :
" Some foreign journals having given an incor-
rect version of the speech which the Minister
of Finance lately addressed to the English mer-
chants at St. Petersburg, we hasten to publish
the exact text of it. M. de Brock expressed
himself in the following terms :—" We have
just learnt that all the letters from London re-
ceived during the last eight days are =filled with
rumours of war, and that the English commercial
world exhibit great alarm. We know not to what
these rumours and alarms are to be attributed.
The Russian Government, on its side, is conscious
of having done nothing to justify them. It is still
animated with the most pacific and the most
friendly dispositions towards England. It cannot,
therefore, admit the possibility of a rupture. But
if, nevertheless, it should take place, I am charged
to declare to you, in the name of the Emperor,
that even in that case the English merchants have
nothing to fear either for their persons or their
property, and that they may rely upon the same
protection that they have hitherto enjoyed. I beg
you to make known this communication to all the
English merchants." On the succeeding day the
Minister completed this explanation by the follow-
ing words :—" No obstacle will be placed on our
part to the departure of English vessels loading in
our ports, on condition that England does not
detain ours."

The Emperor and Empress came to Paris on
Thursday, and witnessed some experiments with
an electro-magnetic machine, invented by Mr.
Shepard, for the extraction of hydrogen gas from
water. These experiments, which were also wit-
nessed by Lord Cowley and the Minister of State,
were in every instance successful.
Their Majesties have sent I,ooof to the Arch-
bishop of Toutouse, on the occasion of the cere-
mony of the beatification of Germaine Cousin at
Rome, and 500 f. to the hospital of Albert
(Somme), for the purchase of linen.
The Moniteur contains a long decree, declaring
that from the Ist of January, 1854, the Caisse des
Depots et Consignations is to cease to be charged
with the payment of the pensions furnished by
the various caisses de retraite, which have been
suppressed by Art. 1 of the law of June 9, 1853.
The money belonging to the said caisses de retraite
is to be paid over, on July 1, 1854, to the public
Treasury, and the pensions are for the future to
be inscribed on the Grand-Livre of the public
debt, and paid on January 1, April 1, July 1,
and October 1. The decree prescribes at great
length the mode of proceeding to prove the right
to a pension, and the formalities to be observed in
every case for its payment.
