AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA.

The Correspondence of Berlin, of Aug. 23, de-
nies the rumour in England that Prussia would
retire from the conferences of the Great Powers, in
order to conclude a---treaty of neutrality with the,
secondary' States of Germany. No such idea, it
says, is entertained.
A Vienna letter of the 18th, in the Silesian; Ga-
zette, says :—" Whilst Austria is continuing her
Preparations for war, Prince Gortschakoff is acting
as if the whole question was at an end by the re-
treat of the Russians behind the Pruth, as if, in
fact, peace was about to be signed. He is getting
the apartments of the Russian embassy splendidly
fitted up ; and after purchasing the equipages of
his predecessor, has ordered eight splendid Hun-
4ariau horses to be purchased f9r him. He has
sent for his sons, and in all respects is acting as if
there was no prospect of an interruption in the
diplomatic relations of Austria and Russia."

that for many years' she had been afflicted with severe
attacks of asthma, great difficulty of breathing, a violent
cough, and acute pains in the side ; she tried various
remedies, and was under the treatment of several sur-
geons for months together, without obtaining any bene-
fit. At length she was induced to try Holloway's Pills ;
the first dose gave relief, and by continuing them a cure
has'been effected. Being anxious that others so afflicted
should obtain relief, she desires this fact to be publicly

GREECE.

Athens advices mention that General Kalergi,
who had retired to the Piraeus, on the King de-
clining to confirm the execution of a Ministerial
proposition for incorporating all the irregular
troops into the army, had returned to the capital,
and been present at a Cabinet Council.
According to accounts from Athens of the 12th
inst., the cholera having nearly subsided at the
Piraeus and Penteli, the communication with those
places had been reopened. The discussion, of the
Chamber of Deputies, proposed by M. Riga Pala-
mides, minister of the Interior, had been rejected
at one of the last Cabinet Councils. At M. Mavro-
cordato's suggestion, it was agreed that the Cham-
bers should be convoked for the Ist of October
next, and that the estimates for 1855 should
be submitted to them 24 hours after the de-
livery of the King's speech, with a request
to vote them within 20 days. In that interval,
the Government is to bring forward all the finan-
cial bills, which will be sanctioned in the begin-
ning of December, as sanctioned by the Constitu-
tion, in order to be carried into execution on the
Ist January, 1855. The Ministry will afterwards
introduce a bill on electoral reform, in which the
right of voting will be subjected to the payment of
certain tax, and the number of Deputies is to be
fixed at 83, that is, 80 for the 10 departments, and
3 for the islands. M. Mavrocorda.to was of opi-
nion that the Chambers would readily vote those
reforms. Should they reject them, their dissolu-
tion will be immediately pronounced.

RUSSIAN INTENTIONS.

According to the Journal de Constantinople, 14
Russian soldiers, with an officer, a Count Lob-
schetin, not loncr since fell into the hands of one
of Halim Pacha's reconnoitring parties. They
were the bearers of three proclamations, in which
the Emperor Nicholas informed his army :-1.
That Prince Gortschakoff had received orders to
give every soldier who had crossed the Danube a
reward of two silver roubles ; 2. That the Russian
Government would take especial care of, and
would improve the position, those persons who
had actively shared in the present war ; 3. As the
whole of Europe was against Russia, her troops
would be recalled to their native country, and
there, as in 1812, await their enemies.

THE WHITE SEA.

We find the following in the Invalicle Busse, of
the 16th inst. :

" Up to the 25th July (6th August) the enemy
still remained at the island of Sosnovets, stopping
and examining every vessel that passed, and arbi-
trarily taking out of them whatever suited their
convenience, notwithstanding the assurances given
by them that all cargoes destined for Norwegian
ports should be inviolable. In consequence of
these proceedings the masters of ships at Arch-
angel have refused to load with grain for Norway,
unless the freighters agree to guarantee them the
value of their vessels. To this, however, the latter
decline acceding, including even British subjects,
who hesitate to trust to the word of their fellow-

THE WHITE SEA.

We find the following in tho Invalide Busse, of
the 16th inst. :

" Up to the 25th July (6th August) the enemy
remained at the island of Sosnovets, stopping
ttid examining every vessel that passed, and arbi-
trarily taking out of thein whatever suited their
oonvenience, notwithstanding the assurances given
hey them that all cargoes destined for Norwegian
ports should be inviolable. In consequence of
these iwoceedings the masters of ships at Arch-
Angel have refused to load with grain for Norway,
finless the freighters agree to guarantee them the
value of their vessels. To this, however, the latter
lecline acceding, including even British subjects,
,vlio hesitate to trust to the word of th,•ir fellow-
Jountrymen now cruising in the White Sea.

SPAIN.

The Moniteur publishes the following tele-
graphic despatch, dated Bayonne, 23d :—" The
division of Andalusia, after having been reviewed
by Marshal Eipartero and General O'Donnell,
filed off under the balcony of the Queen, who was
loudly cheered by the people and by the troops."

THE BALTIC.

The following are the latest telegraphic de-
spatches received from the Baltic :
DANTZIC, Thursday.—The Vulture has just ar-
rived, having left the fleet at Ledsund on Tuesday,
the 22d.

The troops in the occupation of Bomarsund are
likely to be embarked again, it is supposed for
service elsewhere. Beyond this there is no news.
Much cholera prevails.
STOCKHOLM, Aug. 24.—Since the fall of Bomar-
sund it has been reported that the second division
of the French Baltic army is to come here and
winter with us.

Several British steam line-of-battle ships and
steam frigates, and several French war ships of the
same class, have sailed in a south-easterly direc-
tion, as if going to Hango or Sweaborg.
The cholera is bad at Aland. We are told that
the whole fortress is blown up and abandoned, but
this needs confirmation.

The British minister, Mr. Magenis, had an in-
terview with the king of Sweden on the 21st.
In the division of the Russian prisoners France
takes all the officers.
London, England, 1854-08-25

RUSSIAN INTENTIONS.

According to the Journal de Constantinople, 14
Russian soldiers, with an officer, a Count Lab-
schetin, not long since fell into the h;tnds of one
,f Halim Paella's reconnoitring parties. They
were the bearers of three proclamations, in which
•he Emperor Nicholas informed his army :-1.
Mat Pi ince Gortscha,koff had received orders to
4ive every soldier who had crossed the Danube a
reward of two silver roubles ; 2. That the Russian
Government would take especial care of, and
would improve the position, those persons who
'tad actively shared in the present war ; 3. As the
whole of Europe was against Russia, her troops
would be recalled •to their native country, and
there, as in 1812, await their enemies.

NEW WRIT.

On the motion of an hon. member, a new writ was
ordered to be lesued for the county of Cardigan, in the
room of Mr. Powell, retired.
SECOND READINGS.

The Amicable Society Assurance bill, the Ayr and
Maybole Junction Railway bill, the North Shields
Quays and Improvements bill, and the Salford, Stock-
port, and Manchester Division bill, were read a second
time and ordered to be committed.

STOCKPORT, DISLEY, &c. RAILWAY BILL.
On the motion that the Stockport, Disley, and
Whaley Bridge Railway Bill be read a second time,
Mr. HADFIELD moved that it be read a second
time this day six months, on the ground that the line
was very indifferently supported by the inhabitants of
the district, and that an existing company—the Man-
chester, Sheffield, and Lancashire Company—whi.ch had
already expended 85,0001. in its undertakings, had the
sanction of Parliament to construct a railway which
would accomplish the purpose of the proposed line in a
more advantages manner, and which they were now
prepared to carry out.
Mr. GEACH supported the amendment. He con-
sidered it would be an injustice to the Manchester and
Sheffield Company to agree to this bill, for their fin ancial
difficulties had prevented them making the line ; they
were at present in a better position, and were anxious
to avail themselves of powers granted to them by Par-
liament.

Mr. C. EGERTON trusted that as the Manchester
and Sheffield company had failed to carry out their un-
dertaking the house would not refuse to pass the second
reading.
Mr. LOCKE also supported the second reading.
Mr. BOUVERIE hoped the house would not. depart
from the usual practice of the house, which was to read
these bills a second time and refer them to a select com-
mittee.

The amendment was negatived without a division, and
the bill was read a second time and ordered to be corn-
mitted.

PETITIONS.
Mr. 0. STANLEY presented a petition fro rn Lord
Ebrington, praying, it was understood, that a new writ
be issued for the borough of Barnstaple.

The petition, which was of con2iderable length, was
read by the clerk at the table.
Mr. FAGAN presented a petition from a member of
she Society of Friends praying for the abolition of
Minister's money.
Mr. DEEDES presented a petition from the medical
profession of Canterbury praying that medical men in
the navy may be pla!'ed on the same footing ass their
brethren in the army.
Mr. INGHAM presented a petition from Shields
against the present system of licensing public-hot/vies.
Mr. WALTER presented a petition from Vtie pro-
prietor of the Nottingham Journal, praying for the re-
peal of the paper duty.
Mr. BASS presented a petition from the Corporation
of Derby in favour of the establishment of Reformatory
Schools.

NEW MUSKET BULLET.

On Saturday we had an opportunity of inspecting a
revel description of musket bullet submitted to us by
Dr. Ryan, which, if its properties be correctly stated,
promises to produce almost as great a revolution in the
efficacy of firearms as the introduction of the use of gun-
powder effected on the weapons in use before the disco-
very of the destructive action of a certain combination
of sulphur, nitre, and charcoal. The merits of the new
musket bullet have been recently tested by a Belgian
military commission, appointed by the Government, and
the inventor has, within the last few days, requested
from the English authorities permission to make such
experiments as will establish the superiority of his pro-
jectile. The report of the Belgian commission speaks
of the invention in the most unequivocal terms, and
states that the projectile will double the force of an army;
and that soldiers supplied with this description of ball
are as much superior to the soldier armed merely with
the common musket and the ordinary spherical bullet,
as that soldier would be over savages armed merely with
the bow and arrow.
The report of the commission, at the head of which
was Lieut.-General ChaAal, aide•de-camp du Rei, states

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the Bth contain no news
of political interest.
The Clarrior Public() had been again seized. The
Infaute Doll Henry had arrived at Geront, on his
way to Valencia, where, as already stated, he has

been allowed to reside. The works of the railway
from Seville to Cordova were about to commence.
The Espana says that though the adjudication of
the Northern railway was to take place in about
three weeks, no company had effected the deposits
required to be allowed to make an offer. A de-
mand had been made by some capitalists for the
concession of a railway from Toledo to Trernbleque,
and the Minister of Public Works had received a
deputation from Valladolid and other places, who
requested that the Northern railway might pass by
Arevalo and Avila. The Ministry was occupi©d
with projects for various railways.
London, England, 1854-02-14

THE CIVIL SERVICE.

Mr. W. WILLIAMS wished to ask Lord J. Russell
whether he had any objection to lay on the table of the
house the report of Sir Stafford Northcote and Sir Chas.
Trevalyan, on the civil service of the Crown ?
Lord J. RUSSELL was understood to promise that
the report should be laid on the table.
TREATMENT OF THE TROOPS.

In reply to a question from an HON. MEMBER,
The SECRETARY-AT-WAR stated that a new ar-
rangement was about to be made, by which the soldier
would cease to have any interest in the market price of
food. Bread, meat, and clothing would be always sup-
plied to the troops at fixed prices, and the system which
now prevailed of making the charge to the soldier for
these articles depend upon their price in the market.
According to present price, this arrangement would con-
siderably increase the costs of the troops to the National
Exchequer.

DEATH OF THE HON. GEORGE POULETT.

We regret to announce the death by apoplexy, while
bunting with Colonel Wyndham's hounds at Petworth,

on the active list of flag-officers -
Vice-Admiral of the White Charles James Johnston
to Vice-Admiral of the Red.

Hawtayne, to be Vice-Admiral of the White.
Rear-Admiral of the Red the Hon. William Gordon
to be Vice-Admiral of the Blue.

Rear-Admiral of the White Sir John Gordon Sinclair,
Bart., to be Rear-Admiral of the Red.

Blue.

MALTA, Fn. 7.

The Himalaya has just been telegraphed.
On Sunday last her Majesty's ship Caradoc arrived
from Marseilles, having on board General Sir John
Burgoyne and a French colonel of engineers, Colonel
Ardent, who conducted, in his department, the siege of
Rome. The distinguished visitors were received by his
Excellency the Governor, who went off to the Caradoc,
and accompanied them on shore.
Colonel Ardent having expressed a desire to see a re-
giment in heavy marching order, the 41st was turned
out, having just returned from church, and a regiment
of finer men, or more neatly clothed and fitted, could not
have been selected to do honour to the seklice.

The colonel was highly pleased at their military bear-
ing and appearance, and expressed the utmost gratifica-
tion, on one of the knapsacks being opened for his in-
spection, at the quantity of things stowed in so small a
compass, and the exceeding cleanliness of its varied
contents.

The Caradoc left at 2 p.m. for Constantinople.
The following items of intelligence reached Malta by
the Triton, which arrived here in four days from Con-
stantinople. Several officers who have recently received
their promotion have arrived by her, and Captain Ste-
phens, Royal Marines, on whom an: operation was re-
cently performed, having suffered from exceeding cold,
has gone to the hospital here for cure. He is not in any
danger, however, and will probably speedily recover,
under the influence of a milder temperature :
" The officers who have joined are—Commander
Mends, Trafalgar ; Lieutenant Percival, Fury ; Com-
mander May, Leander ; Lieutenant Balfour, Sidon ;
Lieutenant Paterson, Inflexible ; Lieutenant Coxon,
Furious ; and Lieutenant Nott, Queen.

General Baraguay d'Hilliers left Constantinople on
the 27th ult., to decide upon the spot on which to en-
camp the rench troops expected from day to day at
Constantinople.

that the bullet requires only a fourth of the powder re-
quired for the common musket-ball, will carry four times
the usual distance, and that the cartouch is easily con-
structed by the soldier himself under all the usual cir-
cumstances of an ordinary campaign.
The inventor, some time since, submitted his inven- I .
tion to Lord Hardinge, who advised him to await the qj
report of the Belgian Commission. Since the delivery
of the report within the last few days, the new projec-
tile
has accordingly been submitted to the English Go-
vernment through the Commander-in-Chief, and that
gallant officer has referred the inventor to the Master- 4
General and Board of Ordnance. The inventor, M. r
Charrin, now demands a fair opportunity for experiment
before the military authorities of this country. From
what we have ourselves seen and heard of this matter,
we have reason to think very highly of it ; and we really
