WEDNESDAY EVENING CONCERT'S.

The ninth concert of this series, given at Exeter-hall
last night, was as well attended as any former one, and
the performances were, on the whole, very successful.
The programme. consisted chiefly of selections from
Mendelssohn and Balfe, the two most popular composers
of the day.

The principal feature of the first part was the Mid-
summer. Night's Dream music, which was admirably
executed, the " Wedding March " being encored, in
spite of the rule against encores at the Wednesday Con-
certs. The Bohemian Girl furnished its chief morceaux
for the second part, and the airs " The heart bowed
down," "I dream% that I dwelt," " When other lips,"
and " The Gipsy Chorus," were heartily applauded by
the audience. The solos were sung by Mr. Lawler,
Miss Messent, and Mr. Perren, and all the principals
lent their voices in the chorus. Madame Amedei gave
two songs, • "In si Barbara Sciagura," from Semirantide,
and a new ballad, " The Rose in its Bloom," composed
expressly for the lady by F. Praeger, the words by E.
Fitzball. It is a pleasing composition, and well
suited to the display of Madame Amedei's rich voice.
She was encored in both pieces. Mr. Genge sang a
pretty ballad of Lover's, "The Fairy Tempter," with
his usual sweetness and expression. Mr. Rowland
played a solo on the double bass, and displayed great
command of that unwieldy instrument. The rest of the
concert consisted of songs and ballads, sung by Miss
Messent, Miss Wells, Miss A lleyne, Mr. Perren, Mr.
Lawler, and others—most of them very familiar to the
public.

THE NEW HOME SECRETARY.—It is generally be-
lieved that Sir James Graham accepts the office of
Secretary of the Home Department, and that Fox
Maule (Lord Panmure) is to be First Lord of the
Admiralty.—Morning Herald.

The steamer damaged that put into Plymouth on
Tuesday was not one of the Peninsular and Oriental
Company's steamers, but one of the screw-vessels of the
new Peninsular Trading Company.
TOTAL Loss OF THE HUMBOLDT STEAM-SHIP.—The
wreck of this fine first-class steamer has created some
sensation at Lloyd's, on account of the heavy amount of
insurances that had been .effected on her cargo. which is
reported to have been worth upwards of 300,0001. The
Humboldt was a most powerful steamer, nearly 1,400
tons burden. She was commanded by Captain J. D.
Lines. She arrived off the entrance of Halifax harbour,
from Southampton, on the morning of the 6th of the
present month. She had been twelve days only out from
England, and getting sliort of coals, Captain Lines
bore up for the harbour to obtain fuel, and on arriving
off it, hove to for a pilot, who shortly came on
board, and undertook to take her into the harbour
without delay. A dense fog prevailed shortly after,
_but
the pilot persisted in going on, and in attempting to
make the harbour ran the vessel on to a formidable reef
of rocks, known as the Sisters. It was about six o'clock
at the time, and although she was not making more
than four knots per hour, the force with which she struck
was most severe. She was immediately backed off, the
pilot supposing she had not sustained any injury, but on
sounding the pumps she was found to be making water
so rapidly that it became necessary, for the safety of the
passengers and the lives on board, to run her ashore near
Portuguese Cove, situate about twelve miles from Hali-
fax. By the aid of several small steamers which were
sent to her assistance, the whole of the passengers and
crew were taken off in safety, together with most of
their baggage and luggage. Very little of her cargo,
however, was saved, and towards night the sea broke
completely over her. By the last accounts it seems that
her machinery had sunk through her bottom, and the
vessel was a total wreck. Captain Lines is stated to
have an interest in the vessel to the extent of 10,0001.,
and, unfortunately, he was not insured.

LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

-
By electric telegraph as late as Wednesday even-
ing, we have received the following important in-
telligence from Vienna :
"The combined English, French, and Turkish
fleets entered the Black Sea on the 10th. It is
supposed that their destination is Sebastopol.
" Three ships from each squadron have been left
to guard the approach to Constantinople."
We learn from Paris that telegraphic intelligence
had reached that capital from Constantinople down
to the 13th inst. The courier who conveyed the
Collective Note and Circular Instructions of the
Vienna Conference had arrived, and the Ambassa-
dors of the Four Powers proceeded at once to take
these documents into consideration.
A strict inquiry has been ordered into the causes
of the destruction of part of the Turkish fleet at
Sinope, which is attributed to the neglect of the
Turkish authorities in not recalling those vessels
after they had been warned to do so, or to the
want of timely information that the Russian fleet
was cruising off the coast of Asia.
The following important_Turkish despatches have
been received. If correct, of which there is little
doubt, considering the source from which they have
been derived, they place matters in the East upon
a very different footing to the Russian bulletins
ERZEROUIif, Nov. 16.—Mehemet Pacha, Gene-
ral of the Division of Bayazid, has penetrated the
Russian territory; and occupied several villages
situated near the frontier, in the province of Eri-
van. Anxious to profit by his first successes, he
immediately advanced upon the City of Erivan.
At his approach, the principal persons and autho-
rities advanced to meet him in a body, and de-
livered the place up to him. The Russians had
evacuated it.
" Mehemet Pacha, thinking it unwise to enter
Erivan at once, for fear of stratagem, took up a
position in the environs. This event proves the
sympathy of tha inhabitants for the Turks, and it
is more 'than probable that the Russians, having
abandoned so important a place, will also evacuate
the whole province.
" On the 14th of November, a yavert (an aide-
de-camp) passed through Erzeroum, bringing intel-
ligence of an engagement at Goumri, a town situ-
ated on the frontier near Alexandropol, where the
Russians have a large custom-house.
‘,‘ Aftor a desperate fight (combat acharne), the
Turks, led by Ahmed Pacha, President of the Mili-
tary Council of the army of Anatolia, repulsed the
Russians, who took refuge in the citadel of Alexan-
dropol. Not having cannon of sufficient calibre to
lay siege to the citadel, Ahmed Pacha took his,
position, and. fortified himself in the town of

•• - -
Goumri. -
'l' At the same time, Zara Mustapha, in command
of the corps d'armee of the frontier of Akhaltzik, at
the head of the Bachi Bouzouks, and of several
battalions of regular troops, seized upon Paskoff
at some distance from the fortified town of Akhalt-
zik, whither the Russians had retired. He intended
to fortify Paskoff, and, leaving a garrison there to
hold the Riisians in check, to push farther into
the province, of which the inhabitants are well dis-
poied to the Turks."
There is now little doubt as to the course in-
tended to be adopted in consequence of the disaster
at , Sinope, by the combined fleets of England,
France, and Turkey. The Paris correspondent of
the Times, dated last night, says :
" The entry of the British and French fleets into
the Black Sea may now be considered as a fait
accompli ; and the French Government is in daily
expectation of receiving the official announcement
of the fact from its Ambassador at Constantinople.
General Baragnay d'Hilliers has instructions to
send to Marseilles the Caradoc steamer with dis-
patches announcing the execution of the order for
the entry of the fleets, the manner in which the
Collective Note of the Four Powers has been re-
ceived by the Porte, and the effect produced on
the population by it ; the official details of the
Sinope massacre, and the actual state of the public
mind in the capital of Turkey.
" We yesterday alluded to the manner in which
the tidings of that calamitous event were received
by the Emperor Louis Napoleon. What we then
stated has been confirmed since in a quarter in
which reliance may be placed. A burst of indig-
nation first followed that announcement, and for
one whole day the Emperor was fully determined
to, undertake alone, if necessary, the task of pro-
tecting the Turks from future outrage in the Black
Sea, if not of avenging those they have already
endured. A personage of some distinction, though
not a political character, having very recently
mentioned to Louis Napoleon that he had heard
of the entry of the fleets, and wished to know if it
was true—' Yes,' the Emperor is said to have
answered, ' I hope so, and if they have entered
you may rest assured that they shall not quit it,
except with the Russians from the Principalities.'
He has d eclared on another occasion that, in the
Eastern question as it stood, there was but one
course for him to follow, and that was le sentier
d'honneur—the path of honour—and that he was
determined to do so, even if he did it alone and
unaided.

" The effect produced on the English Cabinet by
the disaster of Sinope has not been less than that
in France. Despatches have been sent to Lord
Stratford de Redcliffe, communicating the approval
of his conduct in sending the frigates to the Black
Sea after the affair of Sinope, and in giving the
order for the entire squadron to enter. We men-
tioned the determination of the Emperor to send a
corps d'armee, if necessary, for the relief of Turkey.
The orders that were then, or soon after, given,
have been since renewed, and Marshal St. Arnaud
could, at the present moment, detach no inconsi-
derable force to the East at a very sh,,rt notice.
" The Emperor of Russia has hitherto regarded,
or affected to regard, the Black Sea as a Russian
lake. When he hears that that lake is occupied by
two mighty fleets, and that their flags float in sight
of those shores he believed closed against Western
Europe, how will he feel, and what will he say ?
He is understood to have declared more than once,
and to have announced to foreign Powers, that
the entrance of a single ship of war into the Euxine
would be considered as a declaration of war. Will
he now make good his threat, recall his Ambas-
sadors from England and France, and proclaim
hostilities ? The first object of the combined fleets,
once in the Black Sea, will be to protect the coasts
of European and Asiatic Turkey from outrage, and
render impossible another collision between the
Ottoman and Russian squadrons. What they will
dd if a Russian Admiral repeat the boast attributed
to' him of sweeping "the Turks and their abetters"

from the Euxine, it is not difficult to guess. Sinope
is not the only harbour in that part of the world
which may witness the destruction of a fleet and a

rortress.

" Other letters from Constantinople speak of the
general discontent at the inaction of the fleets. All
accounts concur in doing every justice to the gal-
lantry—the desperate gallantry—of the Turks at
Sinope, notwithstanding the immense odds against
them. Not a heart quailed, though destruction
from water, fire, and cannon balls was inevitable,
for the Russians were inexorable in their cruelty.
Yet Sinope, disastrous as it was, will not have
occurred in vain, fof the Ottomans have proved
there as on the anube, that they have still, as it
were, the gristle, and may again be hardened into
the bone, of manhood.

" Various accounts have been received in Paris
from the Danubian provinces, but it is difficult to
discover the truth amidst such contradictory state-
ments. One letter announces that the Russians
attacked the entrenchments at Kalafat on the 4th
inst., and were repulsed with the loss of 4,000 men.
Parties generally well informed, however, affirmed
confidently, that the Russians forced the Turkish
entrenchments at Kalafat, and that great slaughter
ensued. Two Russian steamers, having four gun-
boats in tow, are said to have cannonaded the
Turkish position near Matschin on the 13th inst.,
but the result is not known. Omar Pasha, who
bad quitted Schumla, was at Rustchuck on the
10th inst."

The Osservatore Triestino contains some details
of the battle of Sinope. On the 30th November a
steamer, sailing under a foreign flag, entered the
harbour of Sinope, and after examining the position
of the Turkish vessels went out to sea again. Early
on the following morning the sea was calm and
covered with a dense fog which made it impossible
to see beyond a certain distance. The Turkish sen-
tinels perceived something looming through the
fog, and to their consternation this something
turned out to be a Russian line of battle ship, which
had already entered the harbour, and was fol-
lowed by a second vessel towed by the steamer
Medjue Tedjaret, a Turkish vessel, which a few days
before had been captured by the Russians. A third,
fourth, and fifth line-of-battle ship followed in the
wake of the former two. The whole squadron con-

sisted of three three-deckers, four biglibord vessels
eight frigates, several steamers, and a couple. of
smaller ships, which anchored opposite to the

Turkish fleet, and closed up the entrance to the
harbour. One of the large vessels hoisted a red_
ant upon this the Turkish batteries opened_
fire upon them. The Russian ships were in front of
a low stra.utt battery, which was intended to com-
mand the entrance to the harbour, but which could
not be brought into action as its fire would have
damaged the Turkish vessels.
The Allgemeine Zeitung states, that the Tarki,3ll
vessels which were destroyed at Sinope were origi-
nally intended to convey an expedition to Crimea,
but that the Russians, having been informed
of the
plan, and measures having been taken accordingly
the Turkish War-office altered its plan, and resolved
to send certain stores, monies, and troops to sup-
port the mountaineers in the Caucasus. The en 7
pedition was sent from Constantinople with crest
secresy. The combined Turkish-Egyptian fleetentered the Black Sea at the same time, in order_
to deceive the Russian Admiral as to the object of
the above-named expedition.. After a cruise o_ f
18 days, the large fleet returned to Constantinople,
without meeting with a single Russian vessel, • pt.'
it was confidently believed that Prince Men,sclikofr,
intimidated by the fleets of the Western Powers,
kept his ships in the harbour of Sebastopol. It
appears, however that the Russian Admiral had a
full khowledge of the intentions of the Turks, for
he paid no attention to the three divisions of the
Turkish-Egyptian fleet, but the strictest watch was
kept on the movements of the expedition which
proceeded along the coast of Trapesant. The
Turkish Admiral, being informed of this surveil
lance, ran his division under cover of the batteries
of Siuope ; he could not, however, avoid his fate ;
his vessels were destroyed, and he himself ear
tured.

The St. Petersburg journals have announced,
that the Russian Baltic fleet.has been dismantled,
arid that the crews have been sent to their home!'
In order to fully understand the bearing of this
measure it is useful to mention that the Balbe
fleet, which has the best sailors in the Russian navy'
were transferred three mouths since to the Blaci,ci
Sea fleet, and only fresh levied seamen remained
at Crenstadt. It is these men who have been sent
to their homes for the winter season, when the
fleet of the Baltic cannot move on account of t"'
ice.

Letters have been received by a mercantile firl
from correspondents entitled to full credit, dste'
Erzeroum, the 17th of November, which refer to
the progress of the war in Asia Minor, and are be;
lieved. to contain the latest and most exact account
that have yet come to hand. From these it appears
that the series of successes already reported on the
part of the Turks have not been much overrated,
since, although none of them have been of a vat
extensive or decisive character, their aggregate re-
suit has been such as to induce the main body T.
the army to cross the Georgian frontier and march
upon Tiflis. The capture of the fort of St. Nicolas,
the first important event of the campaign, is stated
to, have been effected by a surprise, and to bs'o
been attended with great slaughter, the number 01
Russians killed and wounded being stated at 1,500,
while only 80 were made prisoners. A large stock of
flour was found, which was much needed, and the
place has since been occupied by a division of 4,000
Turks. Subsequently, about the 3d Nov., a body of
irregulars and some cavalry,• headed by Ibrahim
Bey, were attacked by a body of 5,000 Russians,
encamped at a place called Valee Doozee, but the
Turks carried everything before them, and forced
the Russians to seek refuge in the fortress 0f
Achek, the surrounding population harassing thew
in their retreat. In this action, however, the,
Turks, who had only light troops, lost aboutl,o°'
men. Immediately upon hearing of the event,

as inactive and obtuse, on the plea that winter was
approaching, and that he did not wish " to be ae"

subse-

Do. New

A quarterly meeting of the proprietors of the East
India Company was held yesterday, at the East India
House, Mr. Russell Ellice, in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN stated that the correspondence rela-
tive to Ali Moorad and to the Steam Company of Cal-
cutta had been laid upon the table, in accordance with
motions agreed to at a former meeting.
Mr. CLARK moved that the correspondence which had
passed between the Governor-General and the late Sir
Charles Napier, relative to the bad accommodation of
the troops in barracks in India, should be laid upon the
table. He believed that the directors were in possession
of a Memorandum of the Duke of Wellington upon this
subject ; if that were so, he would wish that that memo-
randum should also be produced.
The CHAIRMAN said they had on record certain
minutes by the Governor-General and by Sir Charles
Napier on this subject, and there was also in existence
a memorandum drawn up by the Duke of Wellington
after he had read those papers, all of which he would
have great pleasure in laying before the proprietors.
Mr. LEWIN said he had been given to understand that
these papers made against Sir Charles Napier ; if that
were so he should oppose their production, as he thought
they ought not to cast reflections on the memory of a
man who had rendered such eminent services. At all
events, the whole of the papers ought to be produced.
Mr. Sergeant GASELEE did not know what was con-
tained in these papers, but if they were adverse 'to the
memory of a man like Sir Charles Napier, who was so
recently dead, their production ought at least to be
postponed for a little time.
On the motion of Mr. WIGRAM, a director, it was
agreed that the whole of the papers should be printed in
the regular manner.
Mr. LEWIN then moved for the production of all the
papers connected with the removal of Mr:Grant and Mr.
Lo Geyt from their position, as judges at Bombay. The
hon. gentleman was proceeding to enter into the circum-
stances of the case, when
The CHAIRMAN said he did not wish to interrupt Mr.
Lewin, but he might state that it was his intention to
give all the papers.
Mr. LEWIN said, that being so, he would not press the
matter further at present ; at the same time he felt that
the subject required full discussion, and he would give
notice of a motion on the subject for next meeting.
He suggested that the papers should be printed, which
was agreed to.
Dr. BEATTIE asked whether it was the intention of the
directors to consult the proprietors in any way upon the
subject of the new directors who were to be appointed in
terms of the new act.

HURRICANE IN THE IRISH CHANNEL.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.

During the entire of the 19th a violent hurricane blew
from the East. The adviees to hand this morning
report the following disasters :
The mail-steamer Eblana broke her shaft, while on her
voyage from Holyhead to Kingstown, with the London
mails. After getting her mails transhipped to the
Prince Arthur, she bore up under sail, and arrived at
Kingstown. While in the harbour she came in contact
with the ship Fanny, from this port to Africa, which
ran into the harbour for safety, carrying away her
stanchions, bulwarks, &c. The Darnley, of Cork, ran
' into the sloop Dahlia, which sunk, as well as the
schooner Victoria, which had also been in contact in
Kingstown Harbour. The crews of both vessels were
saved. The schooner Sligo, of Penzance, laden with
china clay and block-tin, drove on shore about nine
miles north of Wexford, and remained high on the
beach. The crew were saved. A ship reported to be
the Agnes, of New York, with cargo and about 150
passengers, was also driven on shore in the South bay,
near Wexford, and remained on the rocks. It was ex-
pected, should the weather moderate, that the cargo
would be saved. The Caravanna, Poussoniere, from
Santander to Liverpool, went on shore near Black-
water, and went to pieces in a few minutes, all on
board having perished. The schooner Caroline, Pope,'
from Cornwall to Liverpool, was taken into Dunmore,
Waterford, by the pilot cutter Emma, with loss of
mainmast. The Portuguese schooner Porto Nova, from
Terceira to Liverpool, ran ashore at Ballycotton, having
mistaken the light for that of the Old Head of Kinsale,
and went to pieces. The crew were saved. The
Chatham, from Liverpool to Savannah, struck on the
bar of Drogheda at low water. Her masts were cut
away, but at the last accounts she was breaking up very
fast. One man and a boy came ashore, but the latter
almost immediately afterwards died ; and it is feared
that the remainder of the crew have met with a watery
grave, from the perilous position in which the ship was
placed, and the fury of the gale at the time. The
Pollock, hence to Apalachicola, put into Queenstown,
with a cargo of coal and salt, with eight of the crew
disabled, the mainmast head bowsprit sprung, and main
and mizen topmasts, &c., gone.

DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY.
The gale which raged with such fury from Saturday
night until Monday afternoon, has, it is feared, done
considerable damage to the shipping along the coast.
No less than six vessels of the City of Dublin Steam
Packet Company were yesterday in this port, awaiting
a moderation or change of direction in the wind. The
Freeman's Journal of this morning says:—" Towards
the northern direction, the whole line of coast from below
Clontarf to Sutton and Howth was strewed with frag-
ments of timber, broken spars, casks, &c., indicating the
hreakinL, up of seine unfortunate vessel. There being,
however, no wreck of any craft perceptible in this imme-
diate
vicinity, the supposition was entertained that the
floating fragments observed belonged to the Queen Vic-
toria steamer, which lies submerged off the Baily Light
in deep water. The opinion was rather strengthened by
the fact that those remnants of wreck floated up with
the current of the tide which runs inshore from Howth
upwards. It appears that a dead body floated in and
was picked up by some boatmen, and strangely enough,
the corpse, as we understand, has been buried without
having the usual inquest required by law held upon the
remains. Immediately beneath the rocks and adjoining
Sutton, near the villa of Mr. J. Egan, a large cask of
spirits—brandy, as was supposed from the shape of the
cask—was washed up by the waves under the precipice,
and was stove in pieces. The pungent odour of the
spirits was perceptible in the air all about the hill. A
quantity of oranges and fragments of orange boxes,
pieces of cork bark, aid myriads of cut corks were
picked up by the boatmen on this part of the coast.
This would indicate the wreck or total loss of some
foreign vessel, inward bound with fruit and wines, &c.
The coast-guard at Sutton continue constantly out on
relief-boat duty, watching, to be of service to vessels in
distress. A fine sloop named the New Milford, of Car-
narvon, and bound fur that port, which left Dublin on
Saturday, was seen off llowth on Sunday morning, with
the union jack flying cross downwards,
.the well-known
signal of distress. Mr. Samuel Stephens, and the crew
of the coast-guard put off at once to the relief of the
vessel, and after great exertion—pulling against a hAvy
sea—succeeded in boarding her, and by the exercise of
good seamanship and knowledge of the coast managed
to bring her safely into Howth harbour, where she now
lies moored. The fishermen in the neighbourhoods of
Howth, Skerries, Rush, .and Balbriggan, were some of
them out on Friday night and Saturday morning a good
distance from the land. On the gale becoming heavy
they all bore up for shelter, many boats having to run
in for safety to the nearest creek, thankful at having
escaped so well."
The effects of the storm were also felt in Cork. The
Cork Constitution of • yesterday contains the following
particulars :—" About 5 p.m, on Saturday evening
the
weather, which had previously been fair and frosty,sud-
denly changed into a storm from S.E., which towards
night, assumed the character of a violent hurricane.
Rain continued pouring in torrents, and the storm con-
tinued without intermission during the entire of Sunday
and yesterday. The communication between Passage
and Queenstown was cornpletelyinterrupted, and neither
the railway nor river 'steamers could venture to ply. On
Saturday evening the hulk at Queenstown, where the
river steamers touch, was carried down, caused, it is
stated, by collision with one of the vessels in the bay.

" BALLYCOTTON,

S.E.) which aved by the exertions of coast guard
yes-
terday. Rearden and his crew. These latter
and pilotCAns
hardy fellows narrowly escaped being sacrificed to their
d daring. The vessel having taken the
humanity
a
ground at about half-ebb, in the midst of the breakers,
not more than 300 yards from shore, the pilot and his
crew, having embarked the crew of the schooner (nine
in number) in the pilot boat, volunteered to remain on
board in charge of her, in the hope of being able at the
rising of the tido to save the cargo, by running her high
on shore. The poor fellows, seven in number, spent the
awful night in a fearful position ; they were soon driven
to the rigging for safety, as the sea swept her decks
clear ; and as she had taken the ground, it seemed
miraculous how the masts, to which they clung for life,
did not give way. And thus they remained from 10
p.m. to 4 a.m. this morning, the vessel threatening to
go to pieces every moment, and wholly cut off from
possibility of relief. At the rising of the tide she was
thrown helplessly further and further in, till at length
she reached where she now lies, very high on the strand.
But little will remain to provide adequate compensation
for those who acted so nobly and endured such peril
that dreadful night. Sub-constable John Ryan, at the
risk of his own, saved the life of a boy of the Portuguese
crew, who fell overboard from the boat which landed
them. The sub-constable nobly dashed into the breakers,
and had the satisfaction of rescuing the poor youth; after
sinking several times. This in itself ought to suggest
an answer to those who talk of removing the police from
such a locality as Ballycotton. The pilot's crew were
only saved by the efforts of the coast guard, who, by
holding each other, formed a chain from the shore to the
ship, and rescued them one by one. Her cargo is MI
destroyed. Her upper works, masts, and rigging are as
yet sound, and may be of some value. Her hull is a
total wreck and will probably go to pieces with this
evening's tide, which at its height, with this wind,
sweep) clear over the strand into the bog."
