RUSSIA.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 26.—A letter under this
date appears in the Cologne Gazette. It says :
The order prohibiting the exportation of rye, barley,
and oats to Austria, lately published hero in the
journal of the Home Minister, and already sent off to
the custom-houses, will doubtless make the same im-
pression abroad that itlias here at home. The expor-
tation of corn to Austria was permitted a short time
back as an exceptional measure. This consideration
in her favour is now dropped, and the change appears
to mark the phases of actual relations between the
two empires. The prohibition is the more signifi-
cative from the fact that the yield of this year's
harvest in Lithuania, Podolia, Volhynia, and Po-
land is not calculated to inspire any apprehensions
of scarcity. The measure, therefore, in question
will servo to show Austria how her neutrality is
viewed at St. Petersburg. If this does not suffice,
let her throw a glance at the troops now march-
ing into Poland, and their approaching disloca-
tion throughout the kingdom. A despatch received
this day from Moscow states that Prince Malachi- .

koff left his position after a sanguinary action, in
which he was outnumbered by the enemy, and that
he had retreated on Sebastopol, in order to protect
this harbour. The complaints of the Prince at not
being enabled to attack the enemy on their landing,
and at being compelled to retreat towards Sebas-
topol, have produced here a profound sensation.
" La Crimee de la Russie"—observed a Russian—
may be soon changed into " Lacrymaa Russiw," if
things go on in this way. The smouldering ruins
of Bomarsund appear now to be of far graver im-
port than they did, when the world here pretended
to laugh at what they called the "puny " success
of the Western Powers.

The Bertholet, which left Constantinople on the
4th, has just arrived, with Madame de St. Arnaud
and. the remains of the Marshal on board.
The army was progressing rapidly with its siege
works before Sebastopol.

MARSEILLES, TUESDAY.

Orders had been given to receive the remains
of Marshal St. Arnaud with all the honours which
were paid him upon his departure for Constan-
tinople.
The farewell which he had addressed to the
army, dated from his bivouac on the 26th of Sep-
tember, had arrived at Toulon.
He says that, " overcome by the cruel disease
against which he has so long struggled, he is
obliged to resign his command."
He pays the highest compliment to his successor,
General Canrobert, who, says the Marshal, " will
pursue the victory of the Alma, and will have the
good fortune which I had imagined for myself,
and which I envy him—that of leading you to
Sebastopol."
The 14th and 43d Regiments of the line have
received notice at Toulon of their speedy embar-
kation.

MEMEL, OCT. 6.

place here is at last subdued ; about two millions

SAVINGS BANKS BILL.

THE CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought
in the Savings Bank Bill, which was read a first time
and ordered to be printed.
THE TEA DUTIES.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave notice
that, in the event of the continuance of the war, it was the
intention of the Government to propose, when the time ar-
rived for making the financial statement of 1855.6, that the
duty upon tea instead of falling progressively to•ls. per lb.
should continue at ls. 61. per lb. until peace was restored.

TAXES ON KNOWLEDGE.
Mr. BRIGHT drew the attention of the Chancellor of
the Exchequer to the fact that the Inland Revenue De-
partment had resolved to prosecute an unstamped Notting-
ham publication. Now so long as the Telegraph Company
were allowed to publish their information without a stamp,
some leniency ought to be shown to occasional publica-
tions that publish intelligence on the subject of the war.

COUNTERFEIT HILF-SOYEREIGNS.—It appears that
amongst the 'Jive coin in circulation are some Victoria
half-sovereigns of 1852, struck out of brass with a die, and
electro-plated, and so hard that they will not bend is the
detector. In point of weight they are very much
lighter, and the ring is very brassy and dull. The mil-
ling round the edge is very perfect, but the die from
which they have been struck is far from perfect, and,
on inspection, shows that the letters n in Britanniarum
are inverted. Some Victoria sovereigns of the same
date are also in circulation. They are made in the
same way as the half-sovereigns, but the die from which
they have been struck is coarser and more faulty than
that from which the half-sovereigns have been struck.
The wreath which is round the coat of arms contains
fewer leaves than in a real one, whilst the letters are
larger and coarser and the figures in the date are not
all of one size, and the dots or pellets between the in.
scriptions are wanting.

COUNTRY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL-DEC. 22.

We had a small attendance of millers and dealers and
there was a mutual indifference towards business, as re-
gards wheat and flour, between buyers and sellers. Prices
remain much the same as on Tuesday. Indian corn com-
manded the most attention, and was 3d to 6d per quarter
dearer. Oatmeal the turn higher. No change in the value
of oats, or any other article of the trade.
London, England, 1854-12-23

TURKEY.

The Inclependance Beige quotes the following
letter, dated Constantinople, 7th inst. :
" Yesterday the Porte sent orders to Omer Pasha to
embark for the Crimea with the greatest part of his
troops. Several steamers and transports were at the
same time ordered to Varna and Baltchik, to take on
board those reinforcements and to convey them to their
destination. Ismail Pasha, appointed some time ago
General-in• Chief of the army is Asia, will return to
Itoumelia, to assume the command of the remainder of
the army of the Danube, with the title of Caimacan, or
substitute of the Generalissimo. The successor of Ismail

Pasha in Asia is not yet known, but everybody wonders
that so important a post should be allowed to con-
tinue so long vacant, particularly at the present mo-
ment, when an able and energetic chief is re-
quired to arrest the entire disorganisation of the Asiatic
army. The departure of Omer Pacha for the Crimea has
produced a great sensation here. It is doubly significant.
It proves, first, that the war is to be continued during
the winter on an extensive scale, and, next, that the
Allies reckon at last on the co-operation of Austria.
Otherwise it would be highly imprudent to weaken to
that degree the army of the Danube and leave Constan-
tinople open to an invasion. At the moment Prince Na-
poleon was preparing to embark for the Crimea he ex-
perienced a relapse, which has confined him to his bed
for the last two days. His physician, Dr. Levy, Inspec-
tor-General of the medical service of the army. opposed
his departure, which was fixed for yesterday. The Prince
feels the greatest anxiety to return to his division, from
an exaggerated idea of the bad effect produced by his
absence from the seat of war. General Lances des
Montebello, aide-de-camp of the Emperor Napoleon,
arrived here the day before yesterday with despatches
for the Prince and General Canrobert, and left the next
morning for the Crimea. The Duke of Cambridge is to
repair one of these days to the English Embassy to re-
ceive the visit of the Sultan, who has manifested a desire
to pay him the same honour he had shown to Prince
Napoleon. Immediately afterwards his Royal Highness
will return to his hotel, having declined to accept the
apartment offered to him by Lord Radcliffe in the Em-
bassy."

THE BALAKLAVA RAILWAY.

The Alexander ♦on Humboldt and the Earl of Durham
are now taking on board railway sleepers and rails, in
the Tyne, for the railway to be made at Balaklava, by
Messrs. Brassey and Peto. The Hesperus, another iron
screw vessel, has taken in a cargo of sleepers and rails
at Sunderland, and is ready for sea. Messrs. Brassey
and Peto are also in treaty with Messrs. T. Marshall,
of South Shields, for the Propeller, a handsome iron
screw steamer, of 750 tons burden, launched on Thurs-
day, and for another new vessel, built on the same
model, which is on the stocks and nearly ready for
launching. The labourers engaged by Messrs. Brassey
and Peto will not be taken from the north by the Alex-
ander von Humboldt and the Earl of Durham, but will
embark in the Thames, whence the steamers will pro-
ceed, after taking in their cargoes on the Tyne and
Wear.

MILITARY.

During the last two or three weeks considerable num-
bers of recruits for the army have been conveyed via the
Great Northern Railway to the metropolis. A large
proportion of these -were volunteers from militia regi-
ments in the north, and the rest almost entirely opera-
tives from the manufacturing towns of Yorkshire and
Lancashire. The men are all strong, healthy-looking
young fellows, well adapted for war. They appeared in
high spirits at the prospects before them, and on stop-
ping at the various stations on the line cheered vocife-
rously, mingling with their shouts hearty denunciations
of the Emperor of Ruisia.
Mr. William Leslie, of Warthill, has, in a patriotic
spirit, with a view to encourage enlistment, offered a
gratuity of 3/. each to'such young men resident upon the
estates of Warthill, Drurnrossie, and as may within 'the
next four months volunteer and be accepted as recruits
for the Scots Fusilier ,Guards or the Highland Brigade.
This gratuity, added to the bounty, will amount to 10/.

for each recruit.
The statement that Captain Hutton, of the 4th Light
Dragoons, died from the effects of his wound; is incor-
rect.
Letters have been received from him, dated Scu-
tari,from which it appears that he is progres-

Lir the gallant cavalry chary at Balaklava.

The Corriere Italiano of the 18th states from
the Crimea that the English army occupied the
heights between Sebastopol and Simpheropol., and
that they had established a battery with Lancaster
guns by which the ships in the harbour of Sebas-
topol may be destoyed.
NEW STANDARD OF GOLD PLATE.—The Gazette con-
tains an Order in Council declaring that from this date
any gold vessel, plate, or manufacture of gold may be
wrought of any of the several standards hereinafter men-
tioned, that is to say-1. The standard of fifteen carats
of fine gold in every pound weight troy. 2. The stan-
dard of twelve carats of fine gold in every pound weight
troy. 3. The standard of nine carats of fine gold in
orrery pound weight troy.
