dering the cramped state the men were in on account of

manding officer his entire approbation of the men under
his command, and the excellent condition he found every-
thing in appertaining to the corps. The prisoners are
ordered to be released., The adjutant general on leaving,

that the revolution had been quelled with but little
bloodshed, and that the country remained quiet.
In the city of Cumana earthquakes still continued
to be felt.

Late accounts from Salt Lake state that the
Indians had become very troublesome in Utah,
killing many persons ; Governor Brigham Young
had issued a proclamation calling all the military
forces of the territory into service ; he had also
ordered a wall to be built around the city 20 feet
high and eight thick, with a ditch on the outside.
In the New York stock-market but little busi-
ness was doing. There was less buoyancy generally
throughout the money-market, owing chiefly to the
disturbed state of affairs abroad.

Exchange in steady demand. Bills on London,

WAR BETWEEN RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

Subjoined is the manifesto of the Ottoman Go-
vernment, intimating the course it intends to pur-
sue towards Russia, and assigning the reasons for
adopting it. It is reported that the term within
which hostilities must commence, unless the prin-
cipalities are previously evacuated by Russia, has
been intimated by the Turkish to the Russian
Commander-in-Chief in a brief and soldier-like
letter—as courteous and as stern as the bow of a
duellist to his antagonist on taking up his ground.

FRANCE.

Lord Cowley has left Paris for Compiegne, to
join the Imperial party. Lady Cowley has been
prevented from proceeding there at present by a
slight indisposition. The Princess Mathilde has
also gone to Compiegne, as well as the Minister of
Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Justice.
Cardinal Wiseman has arrived in Paris.
The Countess de Persigny has been safely deli-
vered of a daughter.
The Emperor and Empress have just acted by
proxy as godfather and godmother to the infant
son of the Count and Countess de Lapeyrouse, who
was baptised three days ago at Besancon by Cardi-
nal Mathieu by the name of Napoleon-Eugene
Amblard Bonfigli de Bonfils de Rochon de Lapey-
rouse. Their Majesties were represented by Gene-
ral Vicomte de Bois-Lecomte, commanding the 7th
military division, and by the Marquise de Montho-
lon. The Count de Lapeyrouse is Prefect of the
Doubs, and the Countess, who is daughter of the
late Gen. Montholon, was born at St. Helena, and
had Napoleon I. for godfather.
The first caravan of French pilgrims to Jerusa •
lem arrived safely at their destination on the 12th
ult. As soon as they perceived the city they
alighted from their horses, prostrated themselves,
and prayed fervently. They were all clothed in
white, and as they entered the city by the gate of
Jaffa, musket shots were fired in their honour. It
is said that a French frigate is expected at Jaffa to
protect the pilgrims.
Several of the Paris papers remark at some
length on the proceedings at Manchester at the
inauguration of the statue of the late Sir Robert
Peel, and praise highly the speech of Mr. Glad-
stone on that occasion.
The Bourse opened brilliantly on Saturday. The
Threes began at 73 50, being a rise of 30c., and
this price was maintained with little variation for
the first hour. At 25 minutes past one the price
of Consols at 12 on Saturday were posted. The quo-
tation, 921 to I, gave increased firmness to the mar-
ket. But during the last half-hour a regular panic
set in, for which no cause was assigned. The
Threes dropped to 72 75, and recovered only to
72 80 for the close, being a fall of 40c from Friday,
and of 70c. from the highest price of the day. The
railways, which had been very firm, fell propor-
tionably in most, though not in all instances.

BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS.
The following testimonial is another proof of the great effi-
cacy of this medicine :
" 157, New Bond-street, London, October 12, 1850.
" Sir,—ln Acquainting you with the groat benefit which I have ex-
perienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEIDIA.TIC PILLS,
I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public
who may be similarly affected.
About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout
in my bands and feet. I bad previously been subjected to every va-
riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and
in Spain, under Sir John Moore. in the 18th Hussars. I always pro-
cured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief,
and my sufferings can be appreciated only by those who know some-
thing of this disease.
" It was during one of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir-
teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I
lost no time in procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity
the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect
health.
" From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis-
ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to
me Is so valuable, that were it not that the days of 1113.7iC have
ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause.
Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf-
fered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS
:es towards its improvement.
" I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result
has always been of the most gratifying character.
" I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
" GARRET FOSTER GILL.

"To Mr. Front, 229, Strand."
For every description of Gout and Rheumatism, Sciatica, Tic-dolo-
reux, &c., &c., BLAItt'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS are a
sovereign remedy, contain neither mercury, opium, or any otbcr
dangerous drug, require no care whatever in their use, and tar ra-
pidity of cure and complete safety have not their equal in the world.
Sold by Thomas Pront, 229, Strand, London ; and all respectable
Medicine Vendors. Price 2s. 9d. per box.

SURREY CHAPEL (LATE REV• ROWLAND HILL'S).—
Considerable consternation has been caused amongst
the large congregation which assembles weekly at Surrey
Chapel, Blackfriars-road, London, by the more than
vague rumour of the intended resignation of the popular
pastor there, the Rev. Mr. Sherman. It is intimated
that the rev. gentleman, who for 17 years has filled
the place of the celebrated Rowland Hill, finds his health
failing and his energy impaired to such an extent that a
refinqulshment of his heavy duties, although involving a
sacrifice of 8001. per annum, has become inevitable. The
trustees and elders of the chapel, however, anxious to
retain his services, have offered Mr. Sherman the choice
of three alternatives for effecting that purpose—viz., an
assistant minister, a year's leave of absence, and a country
house with a carriage—all of which propositions have
been, it is believed, declined. Report places the Rev.
Newman Hall, of Hull, in the pulpit of Mr. Sherman.—
