feel a great m'strust of the Greeks, and to talk as
the latter do cf the re-establishment of their own
domination in the East is not the means of obtain'
ing the co-operation of the other Christians of the
Turkish Empire."

MONTENEGRO.
"It is positively affirmed," says the Constitu'
tionnel, " that a proclamation from the Czar
has been read in the villages of Montenegro, BP'
pealing to the religious feelings of the populations?
and promising not to sign any treaty of peace until
after having obtained for them Herz egowina, the
plains of Bosnia, and a part of those of Albania.
It is impossible to avoid feeling the greatest repro"
bation at seeing a Government, which pretends to
be conservative, having recourse to such revolu-
tionary means, and unscrupulously making what is
most respectable in the conscience of man the in-
strument of his avidity."
London, England, 1854-05-01

DESCRIPTION OF THE DANUBE.

(Frans Notes from the Sat of War.)
With the exception of the Volga, the Danube is the
Longest river of Europe ; and, with the exception of two
others—the Nile in Africa, and the Amazon in South
America—it is the longest river in the world. It is one
thousand eight hundred miles in length, and flows
through some of the most remarkable and most fertile
districts of Europe. The history of the Danube is
coeval with that of the ancient Greeks and Romans ; and
the curious in olden story will find many particulars
with reference to this noble river in Herodotus, Strabo,
Pliny, and other classic writers. Its course is from east
to west, with a southward inclination ; which latter is
the more marked after it has entered Turkey, where it
forms a line almost parallel with the Balkan mountains
to Rossova, whence it makes an abrupt bend to the
north, continuing that course to Galatz, From Galatz
it flows due east into the Black Sea.
The source of the Danube proper is in the mountain dis-
tricts of the Black Forest, near about the boundary line
between Wurtemburg and Baden. Atßatisbon it receives
from the north a considerable tributary, which brings down
to it the melted snows of the mountains which form the
natural boundaries between Bohemia and Saxony. From
the south, and before it reaches Viennait receives the waters
of the Lech, the Isser, the Inn, the Salza, and other con-
siderable streams, which are nurtured among the gla-
ciers of the Tyrolese Alps. After it has flowed past the
palaces of Vienna, and before it reaches Presburg, one
of the capital towns of Hungary, it receives the waters
of the March, and its tributaries, which form the natu-
ral drain-pipes of Moravia, from the mountains of Bo-
hemia on the west and north, to the Carpathians on the
east. On one of the tributaries of the Ailarch, stands
the town of Olmutz, distinguished by the recent pre-
sence, pacific protestations, and grand military mass of
the Emperor of Russia. Before tracing the Danube be-
yond Presburg, we will return to Vienna, to point out
the facilities of communication which modern science
has given to Austria. Southward from Vienna, an im-
portant line of railway extends to the port of Trieste,
at the head of the Gulf of Venice. This southern rail-

THE WAR.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.
The Royal Albert is to be put out of dry dock No. 3
on Friday noon next.
Calcutta, 84, Captain J. J. Stopford, remains in Ply-
mouth Sound.

Colossus, 30, screw, Captain Spencer Robinson, will
go to Spithead on Thursday.
Indefatigable, 50, Captain Hope, flag ship of Rear-
Admiral Hope Johnstone, says an Edinburgh paper,
"sailed on Thursday afternoon from Leith Roads, for
the Downs and Devonport, having received order unex-
pectedly by telegraph. She got 50 or 60 men while
here, mostly landsmen, the herring fishery having taken
most seafaring people to distant parts. Unfortunately,
her sudden departure has prevented any of them offering,
of which there was a good prospect."
Meander, 44, Captain Baillie, it is said, is ordered
from Plymouth Sound to the coast of Scotland, to raise
men.
The steam-sloop Janus is ordered to have her sails
unbent and stewed away. Her commander is on sick
leave, and she is not expected to leave unless ur-
gently wanted for particular service. The crew are to
be transferred to the Algoa, on her arrival from the
Baltic with the Russian prisoners taken at Bomarsund.
The Diligence, transport, passed the Nore from Wool-
wich in tow of the steam vessel Monkey, on Sunday
last, at 12.45 p.m., outward bound with victualling stores
and munitions of war.

London, England, 1854-09-05

RUSSIA.

The St. Petersburg press publishes sundry reports
from Sebastopol, in which the writers express con-
summate contempt for the allies, and assert that
every man pants with anxiety for the moment when
the combined forces shall dare attempt a landing on
the Crimea, or any part of the coast, where every
preparation is made to receive them, numerous sur-
prises being in readiness which are destined
to strike them with terror and astonishment.
The same anxiety has been expressed at Revel ;
but 'this perfect confidence has been somewhat
shaken by the intelligence of the rapid fall of Bo-
marsuud, which, in despite of all efforts made to
conceal the fact, was generally known within a week
after its consummation. The presence of Commor
dore Martin's squadron off Nargen keeps the people
of ,Revel constantly on the gat vivo, and gives full
occupation to the garrison and troops echeloned in
the vicinity. The Russian Invalid announces that
Lieutenant-General Chruleff, of the•horse artillery,
who was wounded at Giurgevo, has received a sabre
of honour from the Emperor for his valiant beha-
viour in that affair. A similar mark of distinction
has been conferred upon Major-General Prosku-
rialeff.
London, England, 1854-09-05

ITALY.

A letter from Rome of the 28th ult., in the
Parlamento of Turin, states that the police there
is exercising extraordinary vigilance in political
matters. A refugee, named Mancini, who had
been foolhardy enough to return to Rome, was im-
mediately arrested, together with a priest whose
name is not known. It was rumoured that the
French Consul at Nice had informed the Roman
police of Mancini's departure.

liOP INTELLIGENCE.

BOROUGH, Sept. 4.—Considerable animation has been
exhibited in our market during the past week, and prices
have realised from 20s. to 30s. advance on previous
rates for ffne yearlings. A few pockets of new hops
have reached the Borough, and have been disposed of
at prices varying from 201. to 281. per cwt. The ac-
counts from the plantations are still conflicting, but on
the whole an improvement has taken place—in most
cases, however, in those grounds which have hitherto
been unpromising. Duty 60,0001. to 65,000. Very
large supplies of foreign hops were imported into Lon-
London last week, viz., 167 bales from Rotterdam, 2
from Calais, 1,336 from Hambro', 277 from Antwerp,
101 from Ostend. and 10 from Dunkirk.
WORCESTER, Sept. 2.—lt is the opinion that this fine
weather will give our hops quality, and so increase
weight ; and the duty is doing at 9,0001. to 10,0001.
Prices 20s. higher for fine 1853.—Mark Lane Express.
MAIDSTONE, Aug. 31.—The seasonable weather for
the past week has had the effect of gradually improving
the hops in this neighbourhood, particularly where the
lateral branches had grown with some vigour and
strength. With the exception of the mould, they aro
nlw more healthy than they have been during the
ison. The bur is c nsequently making its appearance
m 4 re boldly, and tl.e hop is becoming conspicuous, but
it is somewhat remarkakble that where the bine was
looked upon as being likely to produce a hop, there the
want of fruit shows itself the most. The mould is taking
some rapid strides in the wounds generally, and the con-
sequence will be that where the mouldy hops are picked,
no good samples can be produced, and if they are re-
jected it will materially alter the weight of the growth.
Under any circumstances, however, it is to be presumed
that the samples will be very indifferent from the want
of quality which is everywhere apparent. There is but
little said about the duty, the amount at which it is set
varying according to the prospects of a growth in the
various parishes. It is called here from 55,0001. to
60,0001., but in some localities it reaches 65,0001., while
in others it is believed that nearer 80,0001. will be paid.

THIS AUTOCRAT'S ANSWER.

A Berlin letter of the 31st ult. says :—" Ac-
cording to what we have been able to learn, Count
Benkeudorff is not the bearer of a formal reply, but
he brings confidential letters from the Czar to the
King of Prussia, and, in addition, a note from
Count de Nesselrode, in which an interpetration is
assigned to the four propositions of the Western
Powers, which completely changes the sense of
them. The Russian Cabinet declares itself ready
to take for basis of new negotiations these propo-
sitions so interpreted."

LATEST NEWS.

THE BALTIC.
Our telegraphic despatches received this morn-
ing are as follow :

DANTZIC, MONDAY.
On Saturday evening one of the forts at Bomar-
sund was blown up—the conflagration was visible
thirty miles off. The new fort was burning two
days and nights. Eight hundred French troops
are dead. All the French aro going home im-
mediately.

A Russian steamer, with flag of truce, was at
anchor amidst the English fleet, in Ledsund, on
Saturday. . _

On 20th August a large steamer came out of
Helsingfors and made for Cronstadt. She was
chased and returned to Helsingfors.
Desperate have been up to

The Russians remain quiet in llelsingfors and
Cronstadt.

BOMBARDMENT OF ABO.

The Lubeck Gazette has flu) following fetter from
Abo, of the 31st ult. :—« I write you these lines in
the midst of great emotion and the noise of cannon.
Four vessels of war of the allies have cast anchor
near Ersla, a league from this place, and are bom-
barding the batteries and gun-boats. A landing is
apprehended to-morrow at Nadenhal. It is true
that we have troops, but God only knows if they
will be sufficient. The whole town is in alarm,
and many persons are flying, taking with them as
much as they can carry."

THE ALAND ISLES.
The Moniteur contains the following letter from
Darmstadt, of Aug. 30 :

" The capture of the Aland Islands by the Allied.
Powers has produced on the public mind in these quar-
ters a profound impression. The rapidity with which
the granite fortifications, so renowned throughout all
Germany, have tumbled to pieces under the shock of the
assailants' balls appears inexplicable. This result created
such a sentiment of surprise amongst the few partisans
still to be found of the Russian policy, that for several
days they refused to believe in the report that the allied
arms were successful. The almost simultaneous entry of
the Austrian troops into the principalities still more em-
barrasses this party. It had at first represented the
armed intervention of Austria in Moldo-Wallachia as a
mediation, but since it sees that this intervention is
taking place in concert, and conjointly with the Turks
and their allies, its confusion is at the highest point."

FOR SEPTEMBER AND FOLLOWING
MONTH,',—The newly-invented PALETOT, which owes its
existence exclusively to the Establishment of E. MOSES and SON,
is the most suitable Article of Dreis for September and following
months.
This Paletot has rcmoved all previous deficiencies which may have
appeared in every description of Paletot which has hitherto been pre-
sented. By a very peculiar cut it unites ease in wear with the most
correct and artistic fit ; it is the most elegant and gentlemanly article
of the season. The materials, workmanship, and fini:h at once show
how entirely impossible it is for any Establi,hment to imitate it at the
price for which it is offered by E. Moses and Son—viz., twenty-five
shillings.

For September and following months sportsmen require necessary
equipment for the shooting season. The suitability of the Sporting
Attire manufactured by E. Moses and Son has gained it universal
celebrity with all classes ; their long experience, vast transactions,
and the unrivalled talent they employ in designing and making up
every fashionable and useful article of Dress, and the very economi-
cal prices they charge, insure it such patronage that the stock though
immense is always new.

For Feptember the Hosiery and Ladles' and Children's Dress De-
partments are replenished with the most elegant articles of the
first order of fashion, and at the most economical prices.
The Boot and Shoe Branch offers opportunities of selecting the
best and cheapest Goods. :pedal arrangements are made for
sportsmen.

Merchants, Captains, and Emigrants should select from the
Wholesale Clothing, Shirt, and Boot and Shoe Department. The
Goods are made in accordance with the latest advices from the
Colonies, will Instantly sell at large profits, and are therefore the
best freight which can be embarked.

Full Lists of Outfits for ladies and gentlemen, with ship-tailing
information (gratis) on application, or post free.
CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the
public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like
faheht od of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's
the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for
obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have

CORONER'S INQUEST.-(THIS DAY.)

This day Mr. Wakley resumed the inquiry, at the
Bank of England, Paddington, into the circumstances
attending the death of an infant, named Henry Graves,
who was brutally murdered by its nurse, Traphy Knight.
The particulars of this atrocious case have appeared from
time to time in The Sun. After some observations upon
the conduct of the visiting justices and the jail authori-
ties for not allowing the prisoner to appear, tie inquiry
was proceeded with, and a verdict of " wilful murder "
against Traphy Knight was returned. The Coroner
having made out his warrant for the committal of the
prisoner, the proceedings closed.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.—Sept. 4.

_ -
DESTRUCTI
(PROF
F IRE OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
.—out four o' on Saturday
afternoon a fire was discovered in theclock stables belonging
to J. Davids, Esq., situated in the rear of his house, in
Bath-road, near the Parade, West Cowes. The horses
and carriage were immediately removed, and the fire
engines sent for ; but they could not be got out for a
long time, and when they were, as usual, there was no
water to be obtained. Au engine and a number of men
with buckets, &c., were landed from her Majesty's
yacht ; they did the best they could under the circum-
stances, as did the townspeople, with the little water
they could get from the water butts and wells, but the
coach-house and stabling were burnt down, as well as
the adjoining wood fences and sheds. The rest was
pulled dpwn to prevent the fire extending to the dwel-
ling ho 'se and other premises. Fortunately there was
but little wind, and that from the east : had it been from
the south and west, Mr. Davids' house, and probably
many others, would have shared the fate of the stabling.
When half the town has been burnt down we suppose
the necessity of obtaining a supply of water will be
forced on the inhabitants ; but not till then.

UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT.—In bringing down the
large fire engine from Church-road, the men very thought-
lessly ran it down Market-hill without fixing the drag
to the wheels. When about half-way down it obtained
such velocity that those behind it let go ; it then rushed
forward at railroad speed, passing over and dreadfully
bruising two men named Cooke :end Taylor. The former
bad his collar bone broken, and his life is despaired of ;
the other, though confined to his bed, is in a more fa-
vourable state.
London, England, 1854-09-05

THE GUN-BOATS.

The Wrangler, new screw steam gun-boat, passed the
Nore on Sunday last, at 1.25 p.m., for sea.
The Beagle, new screw steam gun-boat, from Wool-
wich, arrived here on Monday last, at 11.30 p.m., in
consequence of a court-martial which is to take place
to-day on board the flag-ship Waterloo, on one marine
and a seaman, for insubordinate conduct towards a cor-
poral of marines when on duty.

HOMEWARD BOUND SHIPS FROM THE
BALTIC.
The steam-vessel Lizard, tender to the 'Waterloo,
Lieutenant Christopher in command pro tern., left
Sheerness on Sunday last at 11.35 a.m. She proceeds
to Orfordness, to cruise between that part of the coast
and across to the Galloper light-vessel, being a distance
of about twenty-six miles, for the purpose of looking out
for the homeward-bound ships from the Baltic with
Russian prisoners of war, she having despatches for the
commanding officers.

THE RUSSIAN PRISONERS.
None of the Russian prisoners have yet arrived. It
was a false report last week of the arrival of the Terma-
gant, 24, screw. She passed Elsineur on the 30th ult.
The prisoners brought down by the Hecla, 6, paddle,
Captain Hall, were composed of the Finnish guard,
sharp-shooters, some of the line regiment, artillery,
guard of invalids, with three women, eight children, a
dog, and a cat.

VICTUALLING THE RUSSIAN PRISONERS.
The scale of ♦ictualling the Russian prisoners of war
on their arrival here is to be two-thirds of A.B. allow-
ance, except in bread ; that article of food is to be served
out to them in full allowance, viz, lib. of biscuit, or 1
of soft bread. Their articles of weekly food will be as
follows :—Biscuit or soft bread, sugar, tea or chocolate,
oatmeal, mustard, pepper, vinegar, fresh meat daily
(when it can be procured), or fresh vegetables, salt pork
or salt beef, peas, flour, suet, and currents or raisins,
when fresh meat cannot b© procured. There are at pre-
sent only three Russian fishermen on board the Devonshire,
and they express themselves highly satisfied with their
rations ; they declare they eat more meat in one week
where they now are than they could obtain in one month
when they were at home at their avocations as fisher-
men, and they would be truly happy to have their
families to share their present fare with them. Stores
of every description for the purposes of cleanliness, such
as washtubs, soap, towels, &c., will be liberally served
out to each mess ; also mess traps for use.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Sept. 2.—Lord Bloomfield has left here
for England on leave of absence. The entire
nobility, gentry, and public in general have de-
parted for the sea-side or for springs ; and sand,
smells, and stagnation reign supreme in Berlin.
The New Prussian Gazette states from Vienna
that the statements of some journals relative to a
pretended change in the attitude of the Russians
in Moldavia, which would appear to indicate that
they wish to remain in that principality, are com-
pletely unfounded. It is positively stated, on the
contrary, from the best-informed sources, says the
New Prussian Gazette, that the orders of the
Emperor Nicholas relative to the evacuation of the
Principalities have not been at all changed.

assizes for the murder of his mother-in-law, but acquitted
on the ground of insanity, is likely to remain a burden
