Two HUNDRED MILES IN A QUARTER OF AN HOUR.
—A Mr. Richardson is maintaining in New York that
it is entirely practicable to build an atmospheric tube
from that city to Boston (200 miles), through which
mail bags or parcels of any description may be regularly,
oabnydsed in
afeiy fifteen minutes. lie has
perfectly the. sent
most apparent difficulty, which
consisted obviated certainly,
in the collision of the parcel despatched on
reaching its termination. This he has accomplished by
the counter-pressure arising from the elasticity of unex-
hausted air, thereby reducing the shock until it be-
comes absolutely imperceptible. A considerable part
of the stock for the building of his mail-tube has already
been subscribed by American capitalists..

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1853

Fighting has at length commenced in the
Danubian Principalities. The belligerents have
at last crossed their swords, and bloodshed is
already the consequence. Throughout the agita-
tion of this lamentable qUestion we have main-
tained that war was inevitable—ultimately inevi-
table. Have occurrences proved that we were
mistaken in those anticipations ? Answer this—
the latest intelligence ! Intelligence, be it re-,
membered, coming to us from a quarter that% so
far as concerns the intimated result, testifies its
'deniable authenticity. Elsewhere will be found
the Particulars
of this important information. It
Neill be 6bserved, moreover, from the nature of
those parti.tu—,
ars, that the fact of the struggle
having actual
Y commenced is placed beyond the
xeach of contraction. For the accounts con-
veyed in Our last
despatches are simply to the
affect that the Russianshave been defeated, and
that the Russians themselves
make the acknow-
ledgment. This discomfiture
must rar of
-- course only as
the Cossacks
than as preliminary.
Indeed , as little more

strength—an anticipatory Skirmish
casual dis-
charge of small shot from the
advanced posts,
/giving the signal for the general cannonade.
It would be preposterous to attach to the intel-
ligence here referred to a larger importance than
that we have endeavoured to specify in the fore-
going words of discrimination. That the antago_
nistic forces hard by the waters of the Danube
have at last come to blows, appears to be the
most interesting and significant part of this intel-
ligence. And so far, the news given elsewhere
seems, indeed, to be altogether incontrovertible.
It were frivolous to suppose for an instant that
accounts such as those published in our impres-
zion of this evening could possibly be transmitted
across Europe by way of Russia, without being
stamped, to a certain extent, with the indications
iof authenticity. Common sense assures us that
the news is no fabrication. It would be simply
ridiculous to suppose this for an instant—seeing
that the conjecture would involve the necessity of
imagining that the Russians were bent upon the

FRANCE.

It is stated in the Moniteur that, notwithstand-
ing the desire expressed by the Emperor, the am-
val of their majesties at Compiegne had been the
occasion of preparations and manifestations which,
whilst being exceedingly flattering, caused them to
regret the expense which must have been incurred.
The Emperor and the Empress wish to be able to
visit the imperial residences without being the',
cause of any disarrangement or expense to the
populations. This formal desire of their Majesties
has been transmitted to the Mayor of Fontaine-
bleau, on the approaching journey of the Emperor
to that place.
A telegraphic despatch from Bayonne states that
the conference for the definition of the limits of
the frontiers between France and Spain commenced

SPAIN.

Our accounts from Madrid are of the 3d inst.
M. Medizabel died on that day.
The Gazette publishes the following Royal
decree :

"In virtue of the prerogative conferred on me by the
30th clause of the Constitution, and conformably to the
proposition of my Council of Ministers, I appoint Don
Manuel de la Pezuela, Marquis of Viluma, President
of the Senate for the next session, and Lieutenant-
General Don Francisco Zavier Maria Giron, Duke of
Ahumeda, Don Francisco de Olavarieta, President of
the Supreme Tribunal of Justice ; Lieutenant-General
Joaquin Bayona, and Don Francisco de Borja de Bazars
y Silva, Marquis of Santa Cruz, Vice-Presidents.
"Given at the Palace, November 2, 1853.
(Signed) "Tim QUEEN."
We read in the Heraldo :

"A letter, written by General Prim to a person in,
Madrid, confirms the intelligence brought by the foreign
journals, that the brave Spanish General was to be em-
ployed by the Sultan the moment hostilities commenced
with Russia. According to that letter, General Prim,
in his journey from Constantinople to Shumla was es-
corted by 600 cavalry. The journey was so fatiguing,
on account of the rigour of the season, that only one
officer, a Spaniard, reached the head-quarters of Omer
Pasha safe and sound, and that 15 horses died immedi-
ately on arriving. It was very probable, should the
General accept the command offered him by the Sultan,
that he will be placed at the head of the divisions of the
advanced guard."
M. Marfori, a relative of Marshal Narvaez, had
been named Corregidor of Madrid.
The Three per Cents. were done at 41 ; the NeW
Three per Cents. at 21/ ; the Debt of the First
class at 9 ; and that of the Second at 5.

[AnvErrismixtrr.]—Holloway's Ointment and Pills
wonderfully efficacious in curing a Scorbutic Eruption of
Ten Years' Standing.—Mr. Mackridge, ships' store dealer,
of Price's-street, Liverpool, was afflicted for upwards of
10 years with a violent scorbutic affection in the hand,
which gave him so much pain and agony that his bodily
health became seriously affected.
During this period
he had the advice of several eminent practitioners, but
without obtaining the slightest relief. He then pur-
chased, of Mr. Thompson, chemist, Stanhope-street,
Liverpool, some of Irolloway's ointment and pills,
which, by perseverance in their use, very shortly cured
the disease, and restored him to perfect health and
strength.—Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Hol-
loway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.
The Cormorant steam-sloop was tlkieri ott of dock to:
day and put into the basin, to have her engifies taken out,
and she will then be towed up to Deptford to be broken
up at that port.

CHATHAM.

At the meeting this morning of the select committee
to inquire into the petition against the return of the
sitting member for this borough, Evan Driver was asked
what compensation he had received to remain at Ports-
mouth during the election 2 Mr. Sergeant Maughan
objected to this question, when Mr. Sergeant Bin ;lake
argued at some length that the evidence was admissible,
and stated that in two committees similar evidence had
been received.
Mr. Sergeant MAUGHAN replied, and the committee
having deliberated, affirmed the objection. The ques-
tion was therefore not allowed to be put.
Evan Driver was then recalled, and was under exa-
mination when our reporter left.

BRIDGNORTH.

IThe select committee to enquire into this petition sat
;
again this morning at 11 o'clock. When the examina-
tion of witnesses was proceeded with; William Jones
was called to prove the case of treating with Bishop,
but the committee having expressed an opinion that this
case had hitherto entirely failed, the learned counsel for
the petitioners withdrew this case and proceeded to the
alleged case of treating with Joseph Hughes. A witness
named Perry was called, who stated that he had seen
Mr. Myhow give money to Joseph Hughes. This wit-
ness made several very contradictory statements.
John Hickman stated that at Mr. Vickers' house
Humphreys gave Dukes half a sovereign. Mr. Nock
gave witness half a crown to drink Sir Robert's health.
The election was a very dry one.

HOLLAND A.6TD BELGIUM.

In reply to Mr. A. PELLA.TT,
Lord J. RUSSELL said. the attention of the Govern-
ment had already been drsoNn to the concessions which
Holland had made to Belgitum manufactories over those
of England, but according -to the treaty between this
country and Holland, sin War relaxation of the tariff
could not be demanded i. rt favour of England, unless
we were prepared to make* similar concessions in 'our
own tariff to Holland. 'To make such concessions,
however, would be a disadvantage to us, and, therefore,
no notice had been taken of the recent alterations in
favour of Belgium.
THE MILITIA.

In reply to Sir DE LACY EVANg,
Lord PALAIERSTON said it would be highly ob,

jectionable for gentlemen to retain commission; in the
militia, while their permanent residence was at a dis-
tance from the place of drill, nor was it possible for a
gentleman properly to peirform his duties who held a
commission in the yeomanly as well as the militia ; but
these were matters which would be inquired into at the
forthcoming general inspection of the former force.

ITALY.

We have accounts from Milan to the 17th.
General Gyulai courteously received the Milanese
deputation, but gave it little hope that the Govern-
ment would relax its system of severity.
The Municipal Treasury had paid a forced con-
tribution of 40,000 florins, and is, in addition, to
pay one of 30,000 florins every Wednesday until
further orders.

Fresh troops arrived every day, and the gates of
the town still remained closed.

The Parisian Charivari has been prohibited
throughout the whole extent of the Austrian
Monarchy.

Letters from Switzerland of the 19th inst. an-
nounce that the Austrian Government had ordered
all the natives of Ticino, resident in Lonlbardy, to
quit the kingdom, the workmen in 24 hours, landed
proprietors and others within, three days. About
5,000 Ticinese would suffer by this measure.
On the 16th an omnibus full of Swiss students
expelled from Pavia had arrived at Lugano.
The frontier of Grisons is re-opened ; the pass of
St. Gothard remains closed.

The Parlament° of the 18th says that a Mazzini
movement was to have been also attempted at
Florence.

SPAIN.

Madrid accounts reach to the 16th, they represent
that Lord Howd en has received dispatches from
the home Government, in which Lord John Russell
informs him that her Majesty entirely approves his
course which he has adopted towards the Spanish
Government on the constitutional question, while,
at the same time, the dispatch expresses a pro-
per incredulity as to the possibility of the latter
being bent on removing from any reformed
constitution the salutary and important clause
which prevents the admission of foreign troops into
the kingdom without a special law passed for that
purpose by the Cortes.
The great difficulty here continues to be the
financial one. It is stated that notice has been
given to the Treasury by many holders of the pro-
missory notes and bills on the provinces, that those
falling due at the end of this month will not be re-
newed. It is believed that the large purchases of
stock lately made by friends of the Government,
chiefly for time, but a small portion for money, by
which the rise that has lately taken place in the
funds has been produced, have been made with a
view of bringing out a loan, in order to deal with
the floating debt ; but prices at present are not very
favourable for such an operation, which, however,
circumstances may render a necessity.
The accounts from all the provinces agree in
stating that there never had been known so great
a fall of snow as this winter.

A letter from Vich, Catalonia, says that a coal
mine has been discovered, three leagues from that
city, and specimens sent to Barcelona ; that it can
be worked without difficulty ; and the road from it,
which leads to the high road from Vich to Barce-
lona, be made practicable for large carriage without
much expense.

The following are the prices of Stocks :—Three
per Cents., 41 15-16 to 42 ; ditto Deferred, 25 5-16 ;
Redeemable Debt, first class, 10 ; ditto, second
class, 51 ; Coupon Certificates, 5. Exchange on
