SALE OF THE MIRANDA'S PRIZE.

Yesterday notices was given on the Royal Exchange
that the Russian vessel Bognoja. Nadiecha, of which
George Jorgotstein was late the master, a prize to her
Majesty's steamer Miranda, in the White Sea, would
within 20 days be condemned as a lawful prize, and sold
for the benefit of her captors. The Court of Admiralty
has issued a decree for the sale of the Russian ♦easel
Johan Chri,tof, seized at Grimsby by the Customs'
authorities, as a Crown droit. The next Russian vessels
to be sold are the Abo, prize to the Tribane, and the
Augusta, captured by the Arrogant and the Hecla, at
Ekness.

TOO KNOWING BY HALF.

The following story, for which we are indebted to a
Frankfort paper shrewdly suspected of being in the pay
of Russia is, if true, an amusing illustration of the
manner in which deceivers are sometimes misled by as-
suming all the world to be as mendacious as themselves :
" Russia has closely watched the armaments prepared
by the Allies for the invasion of the Crimea ; it was in-
formed by correspondents at Varna of every step and
measure taken by them. There was one thing, how-
ever, which the Russian government could not be brought
to believe—and that because no mystery was made of it
—the destination of the expedition. The Russian go-
vernment did not believe that Sebastopol, so openly
spoken of, was really to be attacked ; but persuaded
itself that the admirals and generals of the allies had
sealed orders, not to be opened till they were at sea, which
when opened would be found to direct them to attack
some other port." We have here a corroboration of a
favourite maxim of Talleyrand (and we believe of Lord
Alalmesbury before him), that the wiliest diplomatists
may be effectually deceived by frankly telling them the
plain and simple truth. Diplomatists and metaphysi-
cians resemble each other in this, that while laboriously
digging to reach some recondite truth, they overlook the
truth that stares them in the face on the surface.

THE AMERICANS IN CHINA.

The Americans hare nut less than 13 ships of War, of
all classes, in the China seas, and of these five are
steamers. There are only the same number of British
men of war there, whilst the French have only a 44-gua
frigate and a steam-sloop.

ARRIVALS FROM THE BALTIC.
No 2 company of the Royal Sappers and Miners,
under the command of Captain F. W. King, Royal En-

They landed at Roff's 'Wharf at one o'clock p.m., from
the Baltic, and were played up to barracks by the brass

ALLEGED SECRET TREATY.

A rumour has been current here for some days
in circles usually well informed on political events,
that a secret treaty exists between Russia and
Prussia with respect to the Turkish war, in which
treaty the latter state closely defined the limits
within which a (mock) alliance might be concluded
with the other German States concerning the ques-
tion of the East.

NEWMARKET RACES

RUSSIAN

IiAtiONS.

(THIS DAY.)

The assembling of Russian troops along the frontier
of Gallicia, with an entrenched camp at Kielce, as the
pivot of their operations, was a tolerably significant hint.
But the news from St. Petersburg, which reached us
last night by telegraph, leaves not a shadow of doubt
on the meaning of tkis movement. An ukase was pro-
mulgated at Petersburg, on the 14th inst., by which the
three provinces nearest Austria (this designation we
presume indicates Podolia, Volhynia, and the Kingdom
of Poland) arc declared in a state of siege, and Gorstcha-
koff appointed generalissimo of the army concentrated
in them. While the Czar thus plainly intimates that he
considers the congratulations presented by the Emperor
of Austria to the Courts of the Tuileries and St. James's
on their successes in the Crimea as tantamount to a de-
claration of war against Russia, he, by leaving his fron-
tier towards Prussia entirely denuded of troops, ex•
presses quite as unequivocally his entire confidence ii
the Court of 11,:rliri. In a Monarch like the Czar, so
notoriously addicted to suspect every person he deals
with -of treachery, this withdrawal of his troops
from the Prussian frontier• appears to imply some
peculiarly strong reason for his confidence. It lends
probability to a report which has begun to be current
in Germany, that a secret treaty has been concluded
between the King of Prussia and the Emperor of
Russia. If this be true, Prussia can no longer be con
siclered in any other light than as a frontier province of
the Russian Empire. All the Prussian ports on the
Baltic will in this case have to be blockaded next spring
as well as the Russian. The merchants of Memel;
Dantzic, Konigsberg, Stettin, arid Piilau, are warned in
time of what is awaiting them if sonic check is not placed
upon the infatuated determination of their King to act
as a vassal of the Czar. In 1812 the people of Prussia
compelled their reluctant King to place himself at the
head of the national movement for the emancipation of
the country ; and what has been done once can be done
again. Or if Frederick William prove of less malleable
materials than his father, the Prussians need only look
across the frontier to Brunswick, in order to see a
younger brother occupying the throne from which his
• elder brother was expelled for unfitness to govern, and
that by the instrumentality ot the Diet of the Germanic
Confederation.

THE "COMING" CAPTURE
London, England, 1854-10-17

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.

Last night Mr. Ranger made his first appearance as
Lord Witherby in the little comedy of Vanity Cured ;
or, The School for Old Gentlemen, which was revived for
the occasion. Lord VV itherby is a slight sketch of Lord
Ogilvy in the Clandestine Marriage; and Mrs. Max-
man is one of those match-making mammas, desirous of
uniting her daughter to age and infirmity for the sake
of rank and fortune. Mr. Ranger's performance of the
part was admirable ; there was a quietness and an en-
tire want of exaggeration on the one hand, and of tame-
ness on the other. Nothing could be more amusing than
the youthful airs and graces assumed by "the boy" of
sixty ; it was a capital performance, and richly merited
the applause it received. Mrs. Stanley, as the match-
making mother, was exceedingly good ; and the Louisa
of Miss Clifford was an excellent performance for a
debutanti. The advice we, in common with our con-
temporaries, gave respecting the compressing of the
King's Rival, has been followed, and it now "goes" ad-
mirably. The appearance of the theatre last evening
augured well for the bold undertaking of the accom-
plished directress. It was fully and fashionably at-
tended.

THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.

The orders to pay off the Plicenix, screw steam-sloop,
on Monday (yesterday), have been countermanded; and
no other day has as yet been appointed. The men ob-
tained leave for twenty-four hours on Saturday morning.
and again for the same period yesterday, so as to be
wlthin call at a short notice, should their services be
required.
The courts-martial on the officers of Captain Sir
Edward Belcher's expedition, for leaving their ships in
the ice, commence today at eleven o'clock a.m., and the
papers to be produced on the occasion were very volumi.

THE ADMIRAL OF THE FLEET.
Our Portsmouth correspondent, writing yesterday at
Six p.m., says, we regret to state that Admiral of the
Fleet, Sir Byam Martin, is in a very precarious state,
and but little hopes entertained of his surviving the
night.
Sir Byam Martin has been in the navy since 1782,
consequently he must be a very old man. Two of his
sons are admirals, namely, Rear-Admiral SuperinteDdent
W. E. Martin and Rear-Admiral H. B. Martin,
the junior flag officer of the Baltic fleet.

Rear-Admiral Berkeley, C. 8., the senior sea lord of
the Admiralty, arrived at Portsmouth Dockyard yester-
day morning at a little before eleven. The gallant
admiral, in the Vivid, Master Commander Allen, went
on board the Colossus' 80, screw, Captain Spencer
Robinson, which Ship had, been under weigh early in the
morning, to prove her engines and boilers at the run
through Stokes Bay. The Colossus will, in all probability,
leave for the West Indies this day (Tuesday), after re-
ceiving advance.

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.

Last night Mr. Ranger made his first appearance as
Lord Witherby in the little comedy of Vanity Cured ;
or, The School for Old Gentlemen, which was revived for
the occasion. Lord Vilitherby is a slight sketch of Lord
Ogilvy in the Clandestine Marriage; and Mrs. Al ax-
man is one of those match-making mammas, desirous of
uniting her daughter to age and infirmity for the sake
of rank and fortune. Mr. Ranger's performance of the
part was admirable ; there was a quietness and an en-
tire want of exaggeration on the one hand, and of tame-
'less on the other. Nothing could be more amusing than
the youthful airs and graces assumed by "the boy" of
sixty ; it was a capital performance, and richly merited
the applause it received. Mrs. Stanley, as the match-
making mother, was exceedingly good ; and the Louisa
of Miss Clifford was an excellent performance for a
debutanti. The advice we, in common with our con-
temporaries, gave respecting the compressing of the
King's Rival, has been followed, and it now goes" ad-
mirably. The appearance of the theatre last evening
augured well for the bold undertaking of the accom-
plished directress. It was fully and fashionably at-
tended.

OLYMPIC THEATRE.

The clever and ingenious acting of Mr. Robson has
never been more strikingly exhibited than in a new farce
brought out at this theatre last night under the title of
A Blighted Being. The worthy in question fancies him-
self the especial victith of an opposing fate. He is con-
signed to a brewery when he would court the muses.
His great epic poem in sixteen books is rejected by the
booksellers, and is equally rajected by the public when
he publishes it on his own account. His expectations
of fortune are frustrated by an untimely marriage ; and
he is at length reduced to the verge of despdr. There
is no consolation sufficiently potent to comfort him, and
suicide is the only prospect in which he sees relief. The
explanations which of course ensue revive Job Wort,
and under the influence of love and medicine his cure is
completed.
The tragic quality which enters so essentially into
farces of this description has often been embodied by
Mr. Robson. • His delineation of mental suffering, built
on a comic basis, is perfection itself. His haggard look,
nervous irritation, and distraught utterance last night
made up a minute portraiture of hopeless affliction—
such we believe that no one on the stage at the present
moment could even remotely rival. The piece, written
solely for him, was thus inimitably sustained; and its suc-
cess was unquestionable. The Irish apothecary was filled
by Mr. Danvers, we may add, with a useful and pro-
mising vivacity ; and the perky smartness of Mr. Har-
wood Cooper, the representative of a tavern waiter, was
equally suggestive of notice.
This farce, which is founded on a French vaudeville
of not very recent date, owes its authorship to Mr. Tom
Taylor.

FOREIGN-OFFICE, OcT. 17.
The Earl of Clarendon, her Majesty's Principal Secre-
tary of State for Foreign Affairs, has received from Lord
Cowley, her Majesty's Ambassador at Paris, the sub-
joined copies of a letter, addressed by his Excellency
to M. Drouyn de Lhuys, Minister for Foreign Affairs
to his Majesty the Emperor of the French, offering
the condolence of her Majesty's Government on the
lamented death of the late Marshal St. Arnaud ; and of a
letter, addressed by M. Drouyn de Lhuys to Lord Cowley,
in reply.

Paris, October 10, 1854.
M. le Ministre,—l am desired by her Majesty's
Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to
take the earliest opportunity of conveying to the
Emperor the expression of the deep regret with
which the Queen's Government have learnt the intelligence
of the death of Marshal St. Arnaud. Her Majesty's Go-
vernment desire to offer to his Imperial Majesty and
to the French People their condolence on an event which
has deprived the Emperor and France of the services of
so distinguished and brave a General. If anything
could mitigate the sorrow that must be felt by the
Governments and people of France and England upon this
occasion, it must be the satisfaction, though a mournful
one, that the Marshal's last moments were preceded and
cheered by the triumph of a victory, which will always be
glorious in the military annals of both countries.
In requesting your Excellency to convey these senti-
ments to the knowledge of the Emperor, I trust that I
may be permitted to add the expression of my personal
regrets for the loss which the Emperor and the French
nation have sustained. To know Marshal St. Arnaud was
to like him ; for the courtesy and affability of his private
life was as remarkable as his courage and firmness in the
field.— I avail, &c.,
(Signed) COWLEY.

THE SYNOD ON THE UNIVERSITIES.—The Synod of
the Established Church has come to nearly unanimous
resolutions :-1. Against a union of the colleges, as
unfavourable to efficient teaching. 2. To consider
favourably any plan for the union of the universities.
3. In favour of the graduates having an influential ♦oice
in the government of the university. 4. Against any
such increase in chairs in arts as would materially in-
crease the expense to students ; though, as there has
been only ono chair additional explicitly proposed—a
chair of rhetoric and English literature—we do not see
how this resolution comes to be included. All the other
three resolutions, we believe, accurately express the pre-
vailing feeling of the public here, and especially of the
present universities.—Aberdeen Herald.
NOTARIES.—The use of notarial seals would seem to
be of English origin. The French, like the Spanish,
have adopted, in their stead, a pen•and•ink device which
they call a " paraphe," and which is generally of a very
intricate and inimitable form. As the use of seals has
become in England the ordinary method of authenticating
public documents, so has the " paraphe " in France,
with this differen ;e, that the difficulty of counterfeiting
the latter affords a greater security against any attempt
at forgery. "Paraphes " are now commonly used
throughout the Continent, not only by notaries and
public men, but by persons of every class ; and even the
ladies seldom sign their names without attempting a
"flourish" of some, sort. With a foreigner, the
" paraphe " is as necessary an appendage to his signature
as the moustache is to his face.—Notes and Queries.

FRAN CE.

PARIS, SUNDAY.
The Moniteur contains a report to the Emperor
Napoleon from M. Billault, Minister of the Inte-
rior, representing that, owing to the price of pro-
visions being at a higher rate than in good years,
the prevalence of the cholera, and the failure of
the vintage, it would be desirable that an appro-
priation of 5,000,000 of francs should be granted
