verted mahogany timbers for the new Royal steam yacht
Windsor Castle, building at Pembroke, and convey it to
that port. The Rhadamanthus had commenced trying
her speed at the measured mile at the Lower Hope, after
being repaired here, when the Prometheus returned to
Woolwich.

The Banshee steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander
Louis R. Reynolds, has been taken into the King Wil-
liam IV. Dock to have her bottom examined, and it
was found that a portion of her copper had been stripped
off and her false keel injured, when she run aground
during her late trip to Cork, when the Lords of the Ad-
miralty visited that port. The repairing of the false
keel and recoppering will delay her proceeding for ser-
vice, as a 'mail packet on the Mediterranean station longer
than was originally intended.
Workmen have commenced clearing out the slip from
which the Brisk, 14, screw steam-sloop was launched at
this dockyard, as a new corvette, to be named the Pearl,
and t, carry 20 guns, is ordered to be commenced im-
mediately, on the slip, when the timbers now in it are
removed. The Pearl is to be fitted with a screw-propeller.

STATE OF TRADE.

(Front the Manchester Guardian of this day.)

MANCHESTER, Dec. 27.—The American accounts show
an active business in cotton at advancing prices. The
weather continued highly favourable for picking, and
for maturing the plant ; but the receipts were still de-
creasing. As might be expected at this holiday sea-
son, the attendance on the Manchester Exchange
has been rather smaller to-day than usual ; and the
amount of business, in yarn and goods, has not been
at all considerable. The motives for caution continue

to operate upon buyers and to tell upon the state
of our market. Within some days back, some pur-
chases of water twist and 40-in. shirtings have
' been made for China. These shirtings are therefore
not to be had at the previous low rates. There has
been more doing of late in domestics and T cloths ; but
the increased cost of yarns has placed the makers of
those goods in a worse position than before.
HALIFAX, Dec. 24.—As is usual at this time of the
year, our Piece Hall has been very slenderly attended
to-day, and scarcely any business has been transacted.
In wools and yarns there is no quotable change, either
as to demand or price.
BIRMINGHAM, December 24.—1 n every branch of
the iron trade full activity still prevails ; orders
continue abundant for rods, bars sheets, plates, and
rails ; for castings, also, there is a 'large demand ; while
pig iron has been in such request, that good qualities
are mostly bought up for next quarter. The demand
for coals continues unabated.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER.-YESTERDAY.

On Saturday, 4,000 to 40 was taken about Rennyside
Hero for the Chester Cup, but the same odds might have
been obtained to win a few thousands more.

To-day there was a disposition to lay against Miss
Mowbray for the Liverpool Steeplechase : 9 to 1 was
currently offered, and we think 10 to 1 would have been
laid, but there were no takers. King Toni, Dervish,
and Ruby, all for the Derby, are very firm ; Virago for
the Chester Cup continues to be backed at any advance
upon 100 to 3, an unprecedented figure at this period of
the year.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

SHEERNESS, OCT. 24.

The Horatio, 24 guns, training ship, Commander
Robert Jenner.—The seamen and boys under training
for the service are now sent out in the Lizard steam
vessel every week for gun and general exercise, cruising
between the Nore and the Mouse. A target being
placed at a distance of 600 yards from mid-channel, the
boys are engaged as helmsmen, leadmen, and captains of
the gun (an 18-pounder) in turn ; their progress in
gunnery is the admiration of their officers ; on repeated
occasions the target has been carried away by the second
shot laid by the boy gunners. Such is their proficiency
that it has been found advantageous to give some of the
more intelligent boys a number of other boys, who are
entirely drilled in their various exercises by them ; this
is found to produce in most of the boys a strong desire
to make themselves fully competent to fill the same
office at the earliest period possible. All the new raised
seamen in this ship have been sent away to Portsmouth
in the Fearless steam vessel, to be put on board ships in
commission at that port.
The Monarch, 84, guard ship of ordinary, Captain
Charles Hope.—All the seamen available for continuous
and general service who were serving on board this ship
have been draughted for service in ships commissioned
and in commission it Portsmouth ; they have left here
in the Fearless steam-vessel.

The Boscawen, 70, guardship of ordinary, at Chat-
ham, Captain Peter Richards.—All the seamen available
for continuous and general service have been sent
round to Portsmouth, as in the case of the Monarch and
Horatio.

It is reported that m consequence of some of the ships
having taken their departure from Portsmouth, all the
men sent round from this port in the Fearless will return
again to their respective ships.

ITALY.

The Savoy Gazette of the 21st says, the ex-Queen
of the French intends to prolong her residence at
Geneva for two or three weeks longer. The health
of her ex-Majesty is the cause of this delay of her
journey into Italy. Threatened in the first in-
stance with p'eurisy, and a2terwards with inflam-
mation of the bowels, the health of the ex-Queen,
in consequence of her advanced age, caused serious
uneasiness to her family and her numerous suite.
The Duke de Nemours and the Duchess of Saxe-
Cobourg, his sister, who had already left Geneva
soon returned, and the Duke d'Aumale will pro-
bably also do so. On the 20th the health of her
ex-Majesty had already improved.
The Opinione of Turin states that the number
of persons arrested during the late riot in that

GERMANY.

The Cologne Gazette states from Berlin 21st :
" The Ministers of the Customs' Congress have
just drawn up the protocol relative to the modi-
fications in the tariff; and the ratifications may he
given by the different Governments before the sth
of November. The Saxon Government finally
proposed to modify the tariff on manufactured
articles, but it is not probable that the congress
will yet discuss that proposition. The Academy
of Sciences gave a public sitting en the occasion of
the anniversary of the King's birthday, at which
Professor Vrendelenburg delivered an address, in
which he declared that on the day of the anniver-
sary of the King's birth no more appropriate sub-
ject for discussion could be brought forward than
that of the cathedral of Cologne, the chef d'ceuvre
of German architecture. He then gave an his-
torical sketch of that monument and of its archi-
tectural beauties."

Dr. Goetsche, ex-editor of the New Prussian
Gazette, who had been condemned to detention in
a fortress, has obtained a pardon from the iting.
A special commission, appointed by the Prussian
government, has been recently trying experiments
with muskets on a new system for all the Prussian
army. The results have, it is said been perfectly
satisfactory.
An address from the commercial community of
Magdeburg to the Prussian minister, praying for
the abolition of the duty on corn, has caused a
great sensation at Berlin. The Prussian govern-
ment had before spontaneously made a similar pro-
position to the customs' conference, but it was re-
jected by a large majority.
A letter from Vienna of the 18th, in the German
Journal of Frankfort, says :—" The maximum
amount of paper-money which Austria can have in
circulation, according to the ordonnance of Sep-
tember 14, 1853, is 150 millions of florins. At the
end of August the circulation was 139,827,317f1., so
that 10,172,683 florins more could still be issued. In
the course of September, upwards of five millions
were issued, leaving somewhere more than a simi-
lar sum available. The causes of the issue in
September were various—the expense of the camp
at Olmutz ; the payment of the quarter's interest
on the public debt; the payment.of the taxes con-
nected with land and agriculture being in arrear,
in consequence of the land proprietors and farmers
not having sold their wheat in the expectation of
higher prices, &c. But these taxes will now with-
out doubt be soon paid up, and in addition, the
expenses will be considerably diminished by the
great reduction effected in the army. There is
consequently every reason to hope that the adpli-
nistration will not be obliged to issue the rest of
the paper money now held back."
A Vienna letter of the 20th states that the Jews
of the city have drawn up a memorial praying for
the re-establishment of the rights which were
taken from them by the late decree. This memo-
rial is to be presented to the Emperor on his return
from Munich.

CRIEFF JUNCTION.

The first general meeting of this company was held at
Crieff on Thursday ; Sir D. Dundas, Bart., in the chair.
The report stated that the act incorporating the com-
pany received the Royal assent on the 15th of August
last. The Scottish Central Railway Company had agreed
to work the line when completed at cost price, and to
find the necessary working stock. They had also agreed
to allow the Crieff Company, for the first ten years after
the opening of the line, one-third of the net revenue of
the additional traffic brought upon the Scottish Central
line by means of the CrieffJunction Railway. The line
was estimated to cost 45,0001., and responsible contrac-
tors would undertake its construction for a sum within
the estimate.
The CHAIRMAN moving the adoption of the report,
Mr. MONTEATH seconded the motion, which was
agreed to.
Resolutions were passed electing the directors and
auditors.
Thanks were voted to the managing committee
directors for their services to the company, and
and the
Lpro-
ceedings terminated with a vote of thanks o the chair-
man.

PRESTON AND LONGRIDGE.
The half-yearly report of this company showed that
the receipts for the half-year had been 2,1461., and that
after payment of expenses there remained a balance of
1,4531., equal to a dividend of 9s. per share, which was
declared payable.

GLASGOW, DUMBARTON, AND HELENS-
BURGH.
A. committee has been appointed to negotiate with
the landowners along the proposed line, who (together
with the Edinburgh and Glasgow and Caledonian Rail-
ways) are reported to be favourable to the undertaking
to the extent of 10 out of the 20 miles.

BIGAMY.

John Davey, 53, shoemaker, was indicted for bigamy
with Sarah Gawthorne, his wife being then alive.
It appeared that prisoner had been groom to a noble-
man, and in 1823 was married at Great Maldon, in
Northamptonshire, deserted his wife during her first
pregnancy, came to London, and in 1836 married the
second wife, who was a widow.

In cross-examination it was elicited that his first wife
had since married, and had 11 children.

The second wife said the prisoner had six children by
her, and after much ill-treatment had left her for another
woman. She knew him four years before their marriage.
Prisoner—And did not I live with you two years
before marriage.
Second wife—That's of no signification. (Laughter.)
He was found guilty, and sentenced to four months'
imprisonment.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

The Patrie states that the latest news from the
Levant announces that the combined squadrons of
France and England, after having passed through
the Dardanelles, had anchored at the island of
Marmora, in the sea of that name. The anchorage
at Besika was no longer safe for the ships. " This
act," adds the Patrie, " makes no change in the
state of affairs, nor does it weaken the chances of
terminating by common mediation a difference
confined to two nations."
As the steamers cannot run on the Lower Dan-
ube, letters to and from Constantinople are for the
future to be forwarded via Belgrade and Trieste.
It was rumoured at Vienna on the 20th that the
Austrian Government has addressed a circular to
its representatives abroad, assuring them of its
strict neutrality in the Eastern question, and of
its intention to continue its mediations, even after
The outbreak of hostilities.

A letter from Constantinople, of the 10th inst.,
says :

" The news received in that capital on the 6th inst.,
by the French steamer Solon, is of the highest import-
ance. The Solon brought orders to all the large British
and French steam-boats at Constantinople to pro-
ceed immediately to Besika Bay, and also brought dis-
patches from M. de la Cour and Lord Redcliffe, autho-
rising them to place the two fleets at the orders of the
Ottoman Government whenever it should ask for their
aid officially. A Cabinet Council was held the same
day, and a demand for the assistance of the
fleets was made separately to each of the Ambassadors.
The Magellan was dispatched on the 7th with the firman
permitting the fleets to pass the Dardanelles. The fleets
were consequently expected to arrive at Constantinople
from day to day, and the heavy frigates were sent to
B.sika to tow the ships of the line. Several Turkish
and Egyptian frigates and corvettes had entered the
Black Sea. Some with reinforcements and military
stores for Batoum ; others to watch the coasts of
Roumelia and Bulgaria. The Government bad ap-
pointed three Moustechars or Councillors to the three
Generals commanding the armies of the Danube of
Asia and the frontiers of Georgia. Those functionaries
are to correspond directly with the Grand Vizier and
with the Minister of War, and to occupy themselves with
the administrative direction of the army. Monsignor
Anthemos, the Greek Patriarch, lately elected, had al-
ready occupied that post some years since. He was
invested in his office on the 9th by the Sultan."

journey into Italy. Threatened in the first in-
stance with pleurisy, and afterwards with inflam-
mation of the bowels, the health of the ex-Queen,
in consequence of her advanced age, caused serious
uneasiness to her family and her numerous suite.
The Duke de Nemours and the Duchess of Saxe-
Cobourg, his sister, who had already left Geneva,
soon returned, and the Duke d'Aumale will pro-
bably also do so. On the 20th the health of her
ex-Majesty had already improved.
The Opinione of Turin states that the number
of persons arrested during the late riot in that
city amounts to about thirty. None of them be-
long to the working classes.

A private telegraphic dispatch received in Paris
gives news from the Turkish frontiers on the 17th

" At that date no act of hostility had taken place.
The Russian and Turkish Generals were concentrating
their troops, and Omar Pasha appeared to be preparing
to cross the Danube."

A letter from nermanstadt states that the
Russians had occupied the road in Lesser Wallachia,
extending from the frontiers of Transylvania to the
Danube, and to the banks of the Schyl. Consider-
able masses of Russian troops were concentrated on
the frontiers of Lesser Wallachia.
