NOTE.

" The Emperor repeated that, if there were war,
be hoped that the English people would understand
that it was not a war against Russian aggression,
but a war brought about by the vacillating and in-
sincere conduct of the English Ministry.
" He asserted that there was no power more in-
terested in keeping the status quo of the Turkish
dominions than Russia ; that he was in possession
of Constantinople 20 years ago ; that he might then
have kept it against the world, or permanently re-
mained at the request of the late Sultan, which
was urged on him, but that ho quitted it for the
reasons expressed in his letter to Count Orloff, and
fer other reasons of high policy.
" He said all that Russia required was FREE
NAVIGATION, and so long as the Dardanelles were
keld by a power not strong enough to refuse this
Tree navigation to Russia, he was content, and
preferred the present disposition of territory to
any possible change ; that had he wished to seize
Constantinople he could have done so with the
greatest ease when Prince Menschikoff left the
Porte. The seizure of Constantinople, the occu-
pation of the Dardanelles, and the overthrow of
the Sultan would have been an affair of a few
days.
1 . " That his merely crossing the Pruth proved to
all who understood this question that he did not
seek territorial aggrandisment.
" That all this was very well understood at

The Piedmontese Gazette says that Bishop Salz-
mana, lately promoted to the see of Soleure, has
refused his signature to the address of thanks to
the Archbishop of Frieburg, which has already been
signed by several high dignitaries of the Catholic
Church.

The Archduke Maximilian, of Este, uncle of the
Duke of Modena, arrived at Milan on the 12th,
and left for Modena on the same day.
The Opinione of Turin, of the 13th, contains an
account of a riot which took place in the market-
place between Austrian and Tuscan soldiers.

GERMANY.
The German Journal of Frankfort of the 18th
says :—" The Marquis de Tallenay, Ambassador of
France to the Germanic Confederation, has handed
to the President, by order of his Government, a
note containing the text of the circular of M.
Drouyn de Lhuys of the 30th ult. He also handed
to the President a note from M. Drouyn de Lhuys
for the Germanic Diet, containing the assurance of
the most friendly sentiments of the Emperor of the
French towards the States of the Germanic Con-
federation.

PRUSSIA.

The Oldenburg Diet has ratified the treaty for
ceding the port of Jande to the Prussian Govern-
ment.

DENMARK AND SWEDEN.
The _Hamburg Currespintdent, under date of Co-
penhagen, 14th, says :—" Yesterday the Minister
of Foreign Affairs handed to the two President's, in

w 1

order that it might be communicated to the mem-
bers of the two Chambers, the declaration of neu-
trality which had been communicated to the Euro-
pean cabinets. It is said to be perfectly in con-
formity with the version given of it by the hide-
pendance of Brussels."

The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort has the
following from Berlin, 17th :—" We learn from a
source on which reliance can be placed, that the
Cabinets of France and England, after having de-
manded from the Courts of Stockholm and Copen-
hagen particular information as to the treaty of
neutrality, made no objection to it, as the treaty
leaves sufficient liberty of action'to the belligerent
parties. It would, nevertheless, appear that
France and England wish to open negotiations
with the two Scandinavian States, in order to in-
duce them to make special concessions to them. It
is said in the diplomatic circles that immediately
after the opening of Parliament, the British Min-
ister proposes to communicate to the two Houses
the explanations given by Sweden and De nm ark."

IN RE CROCKER.

This was the certificate meeting in the case of J. B.
Crocker, draper of Sheffield. The accounts, prepared
by Mr. Pettis, showed rather a favourable state of
affairs. His debts were 2,300/., with assets sufficient to
yield 10s. in the pound. The case had been brought to
this court owing to the bulk of the creditors residing in
London.

His Honour, after 'remarking on the large deprecia-
tion in the value of the stock, said that the bankrupt's
conduct had been very discreditable, in attempting to
dispose of part of his property after he had made an
assignment, for the sake of reimbursing his wife's trus-
tees. Nothing could justify such conduct. Had he
done it before making the assignment he would have stood
in a different position ; as it was, it was a commercial
offence of a very grave character, which must be visited
by a long suspension of the certificate. It must be sus-
pended for 12 months ; when granted, to be of the third
clays. As the assignees did not object to it, protection
would be given for three months, renewable. at the end
of that time.

BRISTOL SUGAR—JAN. 20.
The chief feature in our market since our last report is
the sale of about 30,000 mats of Mauritius of the new crop
to arrive at very full prices. Of West India we have
scarcely any supply, and the transactions are limited to
about 200 hhds., chiefly Trinidads, at former rates.
small cargo of Demerara is, however, now landing, but the
samples are not yet ready for the market. Refiners' pro-
duce does not participate in the active demand which exists
for the raw material, nor have the prices advanced in pro•
portion.

LIVERPOOL-JAN. 20.

At this day's market there was a full attendance of town
and country dealers. A brisk demand for wheat, nearly
all the samples offered having been cleared off at an Im-
provement of fully 4d per 701bs. Flour met a good de-
mand, and may be quoted is per barrel dearer. Oats and
oatmeal a trifle easier to buy. Barley and beans without
alteration. In Indian corn the sales effected were at 6d to
is per qr. more money.

WAKEFIELD—JAN. 20.
To-clay we have a better demand, and the trade shows a
firm aspect. The frost caused high prices to be obtained
for the little new on offer, and such does not quite come
up to last week's extreme rates. but the general sales are
scarcely at less money. Barley is in more liberal supply,
and the demand is confined chiefly to the finest and the

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

ADMIRALTY COURT-JAN. 20.
THE CLARENCE.-COLLISION.

This was an action brought by the owners of the col-
lier brig Maria (200 tons) against the Clarence, a steamer
of 426 tons, belonging to the General Steam Navigation
Company, to recover compensation for the damages
caused by a collision which occurred on the night of Sun-
day the 6th of March last. The brig was on her voyage
from Colchester to the north, in ballast, for a cargo, and
at about ten o'clock on the night in question she was
sailing at the rate of about two and a half or three knots
an hour, and was about three miles north of Nasborough
Light, on the coast of Norfolk. The night, it was al-
leged was clear, and a vessel could be discerned at the
distance of two miles. The brig showed the proper lights,
and was close hauled on the larboard tack. The steamer
was reported, and a boy was sent with a lanthorn to the
^tarboard bow, where he remained until he was knocked
i own by the collision, for the steamer held on until she
truck the brig with great violence. The master of the
rig set the pumps to work, and contrived to get safe
back to Colchester.
On the part of the steamer (which was on her voyage
from Edinburgh to London) it was denied that the brig
had shown the proper lights. The night was hazy, and
there was a small continual rain, so that the brig could
not be distinguished until she was within five or six
lengths distance. The master of the Clarence ordered
the helm to be put hard aport and the engines to be
eased ; but finding that the sailing vessel was following
her up at the rate of 6 or 7 knots an hour, he directed
the engines to be put on again, in order, if possible, to
run away from her, but she came stem on into the

steamer.
Dr. Haggard and Dr. Twiss appeared for the brig ;
Dr. Addams and Dr. Robinson for the steamer.
The Trinity Masters being of opinion that the Cla-
rence was to blame,
The Court pronounced for the damages.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY—JA.N. 20.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)
IN RE ROPER.

This was the last examination meeting in the case of
C. R. Roper, chemist and druggist, of Hackney. His
debts were 1,6861. ; assets, in good debts, 1511. The
profits had been 588/. ; expenses and losses, 2,0791.
Mr. Stophe opposed for the assignees, on the ground
that the bankrupt had given no account of his partner-
ship transactions with a Mr. Watson. He had also passed
away his property by means of two bills of sale.
Mr. Duncan, for the bankrupt, stated that there had
been little or no trading under the partnership.
His Honour directed an adjournment, the question of
costs to be reserved.

but speculative shares, with few exceptions, are very

are made, and throw a little life into the market. War
has its influence upon the markets generally, and deters
many from buying shares, although it is thought that
the price of metals must rise considerably. At Wheal
Basset, the Guskus lode has been cut rich 50 fms. further
east than the principal workings ; and a cross-cut is
being driven which may ere long intersect two other
lodes ; the shares have risen to 7001., and no sellers.

- The Gold Mining Shares this week have been almost
totally devoid of movement. Prices have shown a droop'
ing tendency, in sympathy with the other departments
of the Stock Exchange, and the absence of demands;
but there has been no important variation in prices.
Agua Fria shares still form a general exception to the
market, being comparatively steady. The advices both
from California and Australia are of the most encourar
ing nature as regards individual labour ; but where co'
billed action is brought into play there are no rsults.
In the year 1853 the United States Mint received
from California gold to the value of 11,130,0001. i
the total amount since 1848 being 42,520,0001., oo
an average about 8,000,0001. per annum ; and although
upwards of 1,000,0001. of British capital has been ek
pended in the proposed development of California gold
mines, not a single return has been made ; and in lie°
of dividends, excuses have been forwarded from time to
time ; public confidence is so shaken in these invest.
ments that nothing but the returns of actual results
from the scene of operations will bring the market ink
a healthy state. Although not actually culpable, the
late disclosures of the several companies, through
the instrumentality of Mr. Guedalla, has show'',
that in nearly every instance directors exhibited great
ignorance and recklessness. At the last advices the prime
of gold at Port Philip was 31. 16s. per ounce. The
Ballarat gold fields, near Geelong, still continue increas'
ing in productiveness. From Sept., 1852, to Dec.,
1852, Ballarat yielded 149,081 ozs. ; from Jan. 1853, to
Sept., 1853, 150,589 ozs. ; . yield for 12 months,
299,670 ozs. This sum of gold, estimated ar3/. lbs. 6d•
per ounce, gives 1,161,2321. 10s. as the produce of the
Geelong gold-fields for the last 12 months.
In Miscellaneous Shares, the market has been steady;
but showing a slight decline.

SPAIN.

We learn from the Madrid journals of the 20th
that the opposition senators and deputies were en-
gaged in signing their address to the Quen against
the system of government lately carried on. The
mortal remains of the deceased princess had been
interred at the Escuriel with the usual ceremonial.

The _Herald() says that there is no truth in a
report which was current that the garrison of
Madrid was about to be reinforced.

The Espana says :—" As Queen Maria Christina
was yesterday passing along the Calle de Alcala,
she met a priest carrying the sacrament to a poor
sick man. Her Majesty immediately got out of
her carriage, made the priest enter it, and followed
the vehicle with a wax candle in her hand through
the dirty streets to the sick man's residence ; after
which she proceeded on foot to the parish church."
The 15th being Sunday, the Stock Exchange was
not open.

THE PR INCIPALITIES.

- -
The Turkish commissioner at Bucharest, Dervish
Pacba' has received orders from Constantinople to
proceed to Moldavia as soon as the Principality is
completely evacuated. English engineers are now
surveying the country between Rassova and Kus-
tendje, the Porte having consented to the construc-
tion of the canal from the Black Sea to the Danube
at these points.
The Russian subjects at Galatz are under the
protection of the local authorities.
The Prussian Correspondence has a letter from
Jassy, of the Bth, thus worded

" Great animation has lately prevailed in Jassy. The
streets and shops were filled with Russian officers and
military functionaries, who made considerable purchases
of linen, jewellery, gold and silver plate, watches, and
German and French books (?). Innumerable waggons,
laden with grain, flour, groats, and brandy, passed the
town en the way to Skuleny. Prince Gortschakoff ar-
rived here on the sth, with a numerous staff, and re-
viewed the troops in the neighbourhood on the 7th.
These, opnsisting of 1,600 men, with 32 field-pieces,
marched towards Bessarabia on the night of the 7th-Bth;
on the Bth the Prince moved to Podulor to inspect the
troops stationed there,• whence it is said he will proceed
direct to Skuleny. General Dannenberg's corps will
come here on the Bth. Quarters have been already
taken for his cavalry in the town (?) General Budberg
is to leave for Kischeneff on the 9th."

THE BLACK SEA..
A letter fram Warsaw, in the Cologne o...vette,
sap :—" There recently appeared in the journals
an order of the day, attributed to a governor of
Odessa, named Krusenstern, in which certain mea-
sures of precaution are recommended, and in which,
he says, that he would destroy the town if it
should fall into the hands of the enemy. Gene-
ral Krusenstern is not the governor of Odessa :
it is General Annenkoff, who, since the departure
of General Osten-Sacken, has filled that post. It
appears that so premature a supposition of the
possibility of the capture of Odessa is inconsistent
with what the Russians so loudly everywhere pro-
claim of the invincibility of Holy Russia, and with
the recent announcement in the official journal of
St. Petersburg, that the government had ordered
the establishment at Odessa of a military hospital
for 3,000 men."

DEPARTURE OF THE VIFREDO.

The Vifredo hired steam transport left Portsmouth yes-
terday morning for Varna. She took out the whole of the
troops specified in The Sun. This vessel was taken up by
the Admiralty, was examined, approved, and fitted at
Deptford, to take stores and troops to the Black Sea. It
is not the fault of those belonging to the vessel that the
confusion and over-calculation of her capacity arose. The
authorities at Deptford put what Government stores on
board they thought proper, mad despatched her to Ports-
mouth to fill up ; on arrival at Portsmouth, Irish provi-
sions and bread were put on board, and the time
was fixed to embark the troops and baggage, in
addition to which, at the last moment, forty tons of
ordnance stores were taken to the dockyard to be
shipped, but could not be taken on board, the ship
being already full of cargo; they were, accordingly,
left for some other conveyance. The whole of the troops
were then taken on board, agreeably to contract; none
were left behind or transferred to other ships. There was
no confusion on the part of the ship's officers or company ;
on the contrary, everything was taken according to charter.
London, England, 1854-09-22

THE TRANSPORT SHIPS.

The Columbo, No. 110 transport, came up the river yes-
terday on her return from the Baltic, and remained nearly
an hour opposite Woolwich, for the purpose of having
some telegraphic communications transmitted from the
Commodore Superintendent's-office to the Admiralty. The
portion of the crew who came on shore gave an exciting
description of the storming of Bomarsund, where they were
within range of the guns near the place where the Pene-
lope went on shore. The redhot shot from the forts were
often very near to, although not directed against the Co-
lumbo, but at the Penelope. Had the authorities known
that the Columbo had 500 kegs of gunpowder on board,
they would not have thought her an insignificant vessel,
not worth firing at.
The Rubicon, No. 38 transport, arrived yesterday and
brought-up off the Woolwich dockyard. She has brought
home 28 women and children from the seat of war in the
East. The women and children are to be sent to Chat.
ham, and they will be forwarded by the Paymaster at
Chatham to their respective destinations. The 108 women
and 118 children, who had previously arrived at Chatham,
have all been forwarded by the Paymaster of Invalids of
that garrison to their homes.
The Prince, screw steam transport-ship, now off the
Royal Arsenal, brought home and has landed three brass
field service guns, and 13 cases of muskets and small arms
taken at Bomarsund.

The Indus transport, which sailed from Southampton
on Wednesday with the Indian mails, took out a large
quantity of roasted coffee and medical stores for the army
in Turkey.
London, England, 1854-09-22

EIIPATORIA.

The following description of the place selected
for the landing of the allied troops will be found
interesting :- Eupatoria is situate on a low,
flat, sandy beach, stretching along the northern
side of a semi-circular roadstead. The lazaretto
is to the west, and. extends as far as the pro-
jection, which throws out a sandbank. Between
it and the town there are several windmills.
They are also seen to the south, between the town
and a great salt lake named Sak. Towards the
south-east of the roadstead the summits of several
of the mountains of the south coast of the Crimea—
among the most remarkable being the Tchadir-Dagh
—may be seen. The lake Sak covers a considerable
extent of ground to the eastward of the city, and is
separated from the sea by a narrow neck of land.
As our army will march southward from this point,
a few words as to the coast-line may be opportune.
The great road from Eupatoria to Sebastopol is a
remarkable one, never leaving the coast more than
three or four miles. Leaving Eupatoria the coast is
more elevated, and rises progressively to the south.
At 22 miles south, 18 deg. east ofEupatoria, the cape
Loukoul forms a remarkable projection by its per-
pendicular shores of little elevation, and of a red-
dish tint. It is 13 miles to the north of Sebasto-
pol. The town has some coasting trade with Kher-
son, Odessa, and other places. The population is
about 10,000. The town exports corn, salt, butter,
hare-skins' hides, wool, wine, and salt ; a special
article of trade is black lamb-skins. Before it was
destroyed by the Russians in the last century, the
population was 15,000. Salt is made in the take,
but it is not equal to that of Perekop. There is an
old manufacture of leather. This town came into
the possession of the Russians in 1784.
At Loukoul the coast is divided by two thickly
wooded valleys, down which run the rivers Kacha
and Belbek. These have to be crossed. A great
church is erected in the last of these valleys.
Mountains rise in triple rows towards the east, and
the table lands of the summits, with their white
edges, give them the appearance of fortifi =bons.
The Tchadir-Dagh is likewise remarkable here on
account of its form and isolated position. After
crossing the Belbek, it is probable that the array, by
a detour to the east and south, will arrive on the
land side of the great Russian stronghold, awl pro-
ceed at once to its regular investment. The fleets
on the seaward face of the town and works are it,rying
the effect of theirlongrange guns on forts Constantine
and Alexander. The town of Sebastopol is com-
manded from the land side by a chain of elevations,
which, unless recently fortified, are merely used
for telegraph stations and look-outs. It is the
opinion of many military men that the Russian
fleet of line-of-battle ships and steamers in the har-
bour and careening bay may be forced out to sea
or destroyed by the long practice of our Paixhans
and Moorsom shells, while the other operations of
a regular siege are in progress.

ITALY.

A letter from Florence states that the reigning
Duchess of Parma, for the purpose of attracting
!tncl facilitating the circulation Gf it has just
created a Bank, the capital of which is divided into
shares, some 0 which her Royal Highness has

taken in her own name and in those of her sons.
The ministers, public functionaries, and other per'
sons of distinction have followed the example.
A letter from Naples states that his Majesty has
conferred on the Cardinal Archbishop of Naples
the grand cordon of St. Januarius as a ni'trk
distinction for his zeal and devotedness during the
raging of the cholera. His Majesty has also rasae
some valuable gifts from his private purse for the
relief of the sufferers, and the Queen has also given
for the same object all the money which she Ps'
sessed.

MONTENEGRO.
The Ost. Deutsche Post of Vienna has the
following from Cattaro of the 10th :—" Great
apprehensions are beginning to be entertained
in Montenegro since it has become known that
the Austrians have occupied the Principalities,
and that the Russians are forced to evan'l.3,„
te
them. Colonel Kowalewski had fascinated Pre
Danilo, who had allowed himself to be entire,"v
gained over to the Russian cause,

the primate Petrovich and Boscovich belonging f
the latter. Bat the Russian party was the stronge.nr°i,
the two, and Prince Danilo forced the adverse lo
mates to seek a refuge abroad. But now Prince Pain a
is of a different opinion. and has resolved to ono
one of his confidents to Vienna in order again 11
seek the protection of the Emperor of Austria..
M. Bieladinowich has been entrusted with this,

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, ,sept. 19.—Spener's Journal has the
following relat;ve to the contradiction that exists,
or appears to exjst, between the contents of tho
Prussian circular the 3d inst. and the assurances
of an opposite tenour, bjmultaneouslygiven in direct
and unequivocal:terms the envoys of France,
England, and Austria at Bel.liu, of which the Jour-
nal appears, however, to be ignorant :
" It is supposed," says Spener, Wet a contradiction
exists between the Prussian despatch` of the 3d of
September and the instructions addressed to the Prus-
sian envoys at Vienna, London, and Paris. We must,
however, question this view of the case, because in the
circular of the 3d attention is drawn to the position
which the Confederation should assume in regard to the
four propositions of the Western Powers ; whilst in
the instructions addressed to the envoys, on the 6th
of September, the groundwork of the thought is that
efforts should be made to bring about an arrangement
between the belligerent Powers by further deliberation,
and to consider whether the evacuation of the princi-
palities
having been completed by the Russians new
mediatory propositions might not be made."
The Weser Gazette, under date of Berlin,
16th, says :—"lt has been stated that nego-
tiations between Prussia and Austria are still
pending, but that they are rapidly advancing
towards a satisfactory solution. Unfortunately
the former of these assertions is more certain than
the latter. Since the reply of the Cabinet of St.
Petersburg, and particularly since the declaration
of the latter, that it would remain on the defensive,
although that declaration has no great value, being
founded only on strategic motives, the points of view
in which the two great German Powers have placed
themselves are far removed one from the other; the
susceptibilities which exist on both sides will not con-
tribute to render an undertaking easy, and if the
co-operation of the Diet of Frankfort becomes
necessary to attain that object, it will be still more

----.
difficult. There are certainly some symptoms which
indicate that a change may take place in Prussian
policy, but that will not be very quickly, for the
result of the expedition to the Crimea will be first
waited for."

M. de Bismark Schonhausen, Prussian envoy to
the Diet, has returned from Pomerania to Berlin,
and will probably return to Frankfort as soon as
Prussia and Austria have come to an understand-
ing upon the plan to be adhered toin regard to the
attitude to be assumed by the Diet. This will de-
pend in a great measure upon the issue of the Black
Sea expedition.
