CONSTANTINOPLE.

From Constantinople, Jan. 9, we learn that the
Anglo-French fleet had been met by the steamer
from Trebizond, steering with a fair wind and
splendid weather for Batoum, where it would ar-
rive the day after.

The most complete harmony reigned in the Ot-
toman Cabinet.

Before leaving the Bosphorus, the British and
French admirals and senior captains held a confer-
ence, in which they made all preliminary arrange-
ments, in the event of their coming into action
with a Russian force. Sinope is named as the
rallying point.
This is the first time that a French or British
naval force has entered the Euxine. Its effects
will be very important. The news of the presence
of these fleets in the Black Sea will spread through
Georgia and Circassia, and cause an immense sen-
sation amongst all the populations inhabiting the
Asiatic borders of that sea. The Caucasian tribes
and the Georgians may, in all probability, grasp
their arms, and make an attempt to shake off the
Russian yoke. Had the entry of the fleets taken
place two months earlier, ti•is effect would un-
doubtedly have been produced. The winter, which
has now set in, will impede the spread of any in-
surrectionary movement, and the Russians will
hold their ground in the Principalities.
Detachments of recruits, says a letter of the 9th,
arrive every day at Constantinople, and the pre-
parations of the Government to carry on the war
with vigour are incessant. The Pacha of Egypt
has recently sent troops to man four batteries of
artillery, of which one will be horse artillery. He
has also sent 25,000 muskets ; and he holds an ad-
ditional corps of 12,000 men in readiness, to be sent
the moment the Turkish Government chooses to
call for it. Yesterday the Seraskier inspected the
first battalion of Cossacks. They will commence
their march on Schumla on Wednesday next, and
from thence they will proceed to Dobrodjie, a place
colonised by the Cossacks. Their commander,
Sadik Pacha, is a Pole. He goes with them, and
is to organise 30 squadrons of Cossack cavalry.
In his suite is the Roumelian Prince Stourza,
who has recently been nominated as a Pacha.
He is for the present to remain at Schumla, as
hitherto the efforts to call out the Roumelians
has not been very successful. General Wysocki,
with his two aides-de-camp, Bielenski and Ruszki,
have arrived at Constantinople. The Polish legion
is still postponed, and the decision of the Porte
will depend on the answer of the Cabinet of St.
Petersburg to the collective proposition.

THE GREEN PARK.—His Royal Highness, the Ran-
ger of the Parks, has caused two notice-boards to be
placed on either side of the Wellington Statue Arch on
Constitution-hill ; one of which is to the effect, that the
gatekeeper has strict orders not to permit any persons
driving any carriage or other vehicle to pass through the
gate into the Green Park, unless they be provided with a
pass ticket for that purpose, or who are not privileged
to do so ; and the other states that the keeper has di-
rections to prevent grooms or other persons from exer-
cising horses in the park, excepting those belonging to
the Royal Family.

THE DANUBE.

It appears, notwithstanding the confidence with
which the taking of Silistria is announced from
Vienna, that the fact is greatly doubted at Paris.
Silistria is a place of great importance to the
Turks. It is on the right bank of the Danube,
and is so strongly fortified that in 1828 it
resisted the Russians, who besieged it for a long
time ; and in 1829, although it ultimately fell
into the hands of the Czar, it was only after a
close siege, which was protracted to 9 months. It
is therefore improbable that the fall of a place of so
much importance, apparently without a struggle,
should be confirmed. Should it be confirmed,
there cannot be a doubt that the blow will be the
heaviest which has yet fallen upon Turkey, as it
would enable the Russian general to turn Brailow,
Matschin, Isatchka, Toulcha, and all the other forts
which protect the Lower Danube. The .Debats,
while doubting the correctnesi of the news, says
that if the Russians have really passed the Danube,
their doing so will be another breach of faith to-
wards the Western Powers, as flagrant as the de.

SWEDEN.

Private letters from Stockholm, dated the 10th,
state that it will be very difficult, if not absolutely
impossible, for Sweden to maintain a neutrality in
case of war, by reason of the extremely hostile feel-
ing that pervades the entire nation against Russia.
Everybody clearly sees, that if this power succeeds
in her designs, Sweden would ultimately be ab-
sorbed by her. The Russians have of late consider-
ably extended the fortifications of the island of
Aland, that important military position, from
which they constantly menace Stockholm, the dis-
tance between them being about 50 miles. The
same letter states that the Danes were apprehensive
for the security of the island of Bornholm, the pos-
session of which the Russians are said to covet ex-
ceedingly, and had reinforced the garrison of the
castle of Hammerhaus and Svanuicke. The letter
dwells much on the importance of an union between
Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, with an army of
200,000 men, and a fleet of more than 400 sail,
manned by more than 60,000 seamen, in case of a
rupture. The entire north would be thus raised
against Russia, and Finland itself would probably
join Sweden. Menaced on the north by the Scan-
dinavian nations, attacked on the east and south
by the Turks, with Austria and Prussia neutral,
and France and England still united against her
aggressions, Russia would have no other alterna-
tive than to yield, and accept whatever proposi-
tions might be submitted to her. The letter re-
peats that the popular feeling in Sweden is de-
cidedly hostile to Russia.

The British Quarterly Review. No. XXXVII.
As a matter of course, there is a reference in this
as in almost every other periodical, great or small,
daily or weekly, monthly or periodically, to the
interminable Eastern Question the British
Quarterly, referring to it in an article headed
" The War—its Seat and its Prospects." And
almost equally, as a matter of course,,
there, is_ an
allusion here also, under the title of Trades,
Unions Strikes," to the recent disturbances in Lan-
cashire. Having turned over these pages with a
sense of exhaustion, the reader will experience a
feeling of relief in examining papers such
as those weighing in the balance of criticism the
philological labours of
Niebuh," or portray-
ing the aspect of " Modern Syria," or introducing
us to Coleridge as a Theologian. Among the mis-
cellaneous contributions in the new number of
the British
Quarterly may be especially noticed
as curious one on 4g The Life and Writings of John
Pye Smith," another of the innumerable luminaries
blessed with that universal patronymic. Another,
yet more singular, paper is oddly entitled " Re-
cent Scientific Ballooning."
Besides a double
Epilogue, on " Affairs " and on " Books,"
the present number of our contemporary
contains a charming chapter on " Dante's Bea-
trice," a chapter at once critical and biographi-
cal. What is almost amusing in this contribution,
however, is the dogged determination with which
the writer resolves that Beatrice must have
been a real creature and no mere shadowy
myth, or phantom allegory. He makes his mind
up to believe implicitly in Beatrice as a woman and
not as a mere imagining : and he flies into a fury
of indignation whenever any one presumes to con-
jecture that she was nothing more substantial
than a symbol of Celestial Wisdom, or what not,
born of the divine Florentine's abounding and
vivific imagination.

ST. PETERSBURGH.—The advices from St. Petersburgh
are to the 16th inst., at which date a steady rise
was taking place in the prices of imported articles, and
especially of sugar, denoted an increased anticipation of
war. The rate of exchange was lower.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.—The Lord Mayor, on taking
his seat, and addressing Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk,
said—On Saturday I gave relief amounting to the sum
of nearly 1001. to various applicants for charity. I find
I have in hand this morning 1401. ss. 9d. I have had
placed before me a list enumerating 363 other persons
who are thought by the officers of the court worthy of
relief. It is quite manifest that the scale upon which we
have: hitherto relieved the pressing necessities of the
poor must be very considerably reduced, and it is also
evident that after this morning's distribution our funds
will be entirely exhausted. I consider it my duty, as
chief magistrate, and under existing circumstances, not
to keep these funds in hand, but to administer relief to
applicants in cases in which we have proper and deserv-
ing references. It is right that those who have contri-
buted to the funds, as well as the public, should know
that we have nothing left at our disposal, as the remain-
ing sum in hand will be paid away this day. The 363
cases brought under my notice this morning have been
selected from a list of at least a thousand. I make this
communication in order that those poor persons who
have got respectable inhabitants in their localities to
testify to their wants may not unnecessarily trouble
either them or us with applications which it is out of our
power to relieve. At a later period of the day, the
Lord Mayor, after requesting that the press would ac-
knowledge the receipt of the following sums for the

ITALY.

From Genoa, Jan. 17, we learn that the Pied-
montese Government gives tokens of war. The
magazines are filled with stores and every neces-
sary for the equipment of troops.
It is stated, in a letter from Rome, that the
Papal Government is preparing an article on the
subject of the Holy Places, which will be a reply,
supported by facts, to certain historical assertions
of the Government of St. Petersburg. It is to be
first communicated to the different allied courts,
and will probably be afterwards published in the
Civitta Cattolica. The Pontifical Court is appre-
hensive that, whatever may be the issue of the
struggle between Turkey and Russia, there will
result from it a fresh confiscation for the benefit of
the Greeks of the whole or a fresh portion of the
Holy Places, and it wishes beforehand to throw as
much light as possible on the question.
A letter from Pisa, in the Opinion of Turin,
.of
the 20th, states that the assassin of the Gonfalonier
of Leghorn has been discovered, as have also seve-
ral of his accomplices. Leghorn being in a state of
siege, the sentences which will be passed on them
will, the letter adds, have to be submitted to Mar-
shal Radetski^

DUBLIN, Jan. 22.—The Emigrant ship, Tayleur, Noble,
from Liverpool to Melbourne, with 574 souls on board, in-
clusive of the crew, went on shore at Lambay island, yes-
terday, anti almost immediately sank, About 230 were
saved but the remainder went down with the ship. A
despatch to-clay (23d), at Liverpool, states that the captain
had arrived in Dublin, but that the Prince (s.), despatched
on Sunday evening to Lambay Island, had not returned at
9 a.m., (23d). The ship Scotland, that was ashore on the
North Bull would get the cargo saved should the weather
moderate, and the ship, after being lightened was expected
to float off.

JAPANESE EXHIBITION.—A private view of an inter
esting exhibition of objects of Japanese art and manufac-
tures, was yesterday afforded at the Gallery of the So
ciety of Painters in Water Colours, Pall-mall. The ar-
ticles collected consist of bronzes, porcelain, basket, and
lacquer-work, with some very curious and grotesque
specimens of the cabinet work of Japan. The porcelain
is remarkable for its extreme thinness and transparency,
and a straw picture places in a striking point of view
the patient and skilful industry of Japanese workmen
and artists. The majority of the articles exhibited are
intended for sale—the object of the proprietor of the
articles, stated to be a Dutch merchant, being to endea-
vour to introduce direct into the British market a trade
which has for upwards of a century been exclusively in
the hands of the Dutch nation. From the character
of the specimens exhibited we have no doubt that a
good and profitable market for Japan manufactures may
be created in this country. •

UNION BANS OF AUSTRALIA.

At the meeting of the Union Bank of Australia held
yesterday, the dividend declared was at the rate of 20
per cent., and the report and accounts were unanimously
adopted. The chairman (Mr. H. Buckle) stated that
the business of the establishment continued to make
satisfactory progress, and that the effects of the expansion
of trade in the Australian colonies had been manifested
by an increase in the deposits from 1,500,0001. to
3,700,0001. in the year ending the 30th of June last,
while exchange operations had augmented the sum for
bills drawn from 1,028,0001. during the six months end-
ing the 30th of June, to 2,111,0001. for a similar period
ending the 31st of December last. Annexed is an ab-
stract of the report

" The advices received from the branches since the
date of those embraced in the last annual report afford
strong evidence that the expansion of banking transac-
tions throughout the Australian colonies has not been
over-estimated by the directors. The prosperity of this
hank has fully kept pace with this enlargement of busi-
ness, the cessation of large profits in gold purchases
having been in a very great degree compensated by an
increase in the ordinary profits of the bank ; and it is
satisfactory to state that the bank has not sustained any
loss in the altered state of commercial affairs in the cold.
nies. Mr. W. Fletcher having wished to be released
from his duties as inspector, the directors have accord-
ingly named as his successor Mr. A. M'Donaid, the
manager at `4ydney. The directors proceed to sub-
mit the statement of accounts, which presents an
amount of profit for the six months now reported of
164,6931. 14s. 3d. This profit admits of 164,0001,, being
appropriated for the purpose of dividend to apply as in- .
terest on the paid-up capital, and the same will there-
fore furnish a dividend by way of interest at the rate of
20 per cent. (for the half year) on the amount paid up
in respect of each share in the capital of the company,
payable in London, free of income-tax, on Tuesday, the ,
7th of February, and in the colonies, with the addition
of 7d. in the pound, as soon as the inspector shall fix
after the receipt of the advices.

SWEDEN.

Private letters from Stockholm, dated the 10th,
state that it will be very difficult, if not absolutely
impo,sible, for Sweden to maintain a neutrality in
case of war, by reason of the extremely hostile feel-
ing that pervades the entire nation against Russia.
Everybody clearly sees, that if this power succeeds
in her designs, Sweden would ultimately be ab-
sorbed by her. The Russians have of late consider-
ably extended the fortifications of the island of
Aland, that important military position, frosty
which they constantly menace Stockholm, the dis:
tance between them being about 50 miles. The
same letter states that the Danes were apprehensive
for the security of the island of Bornholm, the pos-
session of which the Russians are said to covet ex-
ceedingly, and had reinforced the garrison of the
castle of Hammerhaus and Svanuicke. The letter
dwells much on the importance of an union between,
Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, with an army of
200,000 men, and a fleet of more than 400 sail,
manned by more than 60,000 seamen, in case of a
rupture. The entire north would be thus raised
against Russia, and Finland itself would probably
join Sweden. Menaced on the north by the Scan-
dinavian nations, attacked on the east and south
by the Turks, with Austria and Prussia neutral,
and France and England still united against her
aggressions, Russia would have no other alterna-
tive than to yield, and accept whatever proposi-
tions 'might be submitted to her. The letter re-
peats that the popular feeling in Sweden is de-
cidedly hostile to Russia.

THE REPORTED Loss op THE STEAMSHIP SAN FRAN-
CISCO.— LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.—it will be remembered
that the recent accounts from America announced that
considerable anxiety was felt on account of the above
ship, which had about 700 soldiers on board. The An-
tartic, Captain Schoeffen, which arrived here yesterday,
had 175 persons on board from her ; but whether picked
up at sea or taken from her had not been elicited when
the despatch closed.
DEP/kr/TRES POR AIISTRALIA.—The departures for
the Australian colonies from the port of London during
the past week show a decrease. They have comprised
altogether six vessels—three to Adelaide, with an aggre-
gate burden of 2,088 tons ; two to Port Philip, with an
aggregate burden of 432 tons ; and one to Sydney, of
355 tons. Their total capacity was consequently 2,875
tons. The rates of freight exhibit a tendency to decline.

BUSINESS OF THE PORT OF LONDON.—In the general
business of the port of London during the past week,
although the entries inward have diminished, there has
been much activity, the vessels arriving being of a large
class. The number of ships reported was 147, being 86
less than in the previous week ; and the total quantity
of flour brought was 31,948 barrels and 960 sacks, to•
gether with 18,899 quarters of wheat, nearly the whole
of which was from America. Of sugar there were re-
ported 3,190 hhds., 1,000 casks, 42,940 bags, and 419
oases; of tea 37,146 packages, and of coffee 1,951 bags
and 27 barrels. The number of vessels cleared outward
was 88, being an increase of 12 over the previous week.
Of these, 27 were in ballast, and 6 for the Australian
colonies, as above stated. The number of vessels on the
berth loading for those colonies is 89, being an increase
of 16 ovtr the number loading on the 22d ult. Of this
total, 9 are for Adelaide, 7 for Geelong, 8 for Hobart
Town, 3 for Launceston, 11 for Melbourne, 5 for New
Zealand, 19 for Port Philip, 25 for Sydney, and 1 for
Swan River.

A NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
FLEET-STREET, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW
DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs,
wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth,
as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer ;
they ►ill never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to
any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the ex-
traction of roots, or any painful operation, and will suppirt and pre-
serve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation
and mastication. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mas-
tication.

62, FLEET-STREET.—At home from Ten till Fiye.
