THE MOVEMENTS OF OMER PACHA.

A letter from Vienna of the 26th contains the
following :
" According to a consular report of the 16th from
Bucharest, Sadyk Pasha had three cavalry regiments,
one battery, and a few infantry battalions at Maxi-
nteni, on the Sereth, and it is known that powerful
detachments have received orders to join him. What
has occurred at Constantinople is not yet known, but
it is pretty clear that Omar Pasha has received
instructions not to advance in Moldavia, as he was twice
urgently desired to do by the French Government. The
Austrian Government declares that it has not at-
tempted to prevent Omar Pasha's advance, but as
our adage has it, " there are many ways of killinga cat."
Prussia is probably again meddling in matters which do
not concern her, for the Berlin correspondent of the
Presse thus writes :—" New complications might arise
for Austria should Omar Pasha advance against Russia
before the matter is settled with the Bund, and this
gives great uneasiness here. MM. von Musebach and
and Konig, our Consuls-General for Wallachia and
Moldavia, have received orders to leave immediately
for Bucharest and Jassy, and their hurried departure
is caused by the above-mentioned apprehensions."
The Varna correspondent of the Preinden Blatt writes
that Omer Pacha has received orders not to act against
Bessarabia, but to send 20,000 men to Balaklava
without delay. It is here generally believed that the
Freinden Blatt received the news from the Russian Em-
bassy, which often seems to know more of other people's
business than they do themselves.

THE ENGLISH PRESS IN WALLACHIA.

A Bucharest correspondent of pie Franclen, Blatt,
whose pen is evidently in the service of this Govern-
ment, writes that it was the object of the English
party to publish independent newspapers at Bucharest,
Krajova, Buseo, and Braila. The Hospodar, who
is now to Austria- what be formerly- was' to Russia,
refused to grant the privilege demanded, " until the
new press laws should be published." You were, some
time since, informed that Baron Edward Bach had
furnished Stirboy with a secretary, and probably that
functionary will assist in drawing up the new laws

BOTANICAL SOCIETY OF LONDOIT.—The 18th anni-
versary meeting was held last evening at the society's
rooms, 20, Bedford-street, Strand, Dr. J. E. Gray,
F.R.S., president, in the chair. From the report of the
council, it appeared that the society consisted of 250
members, that many thousand specimens of British and
foreign plants had been received for distribution among
the members in January next ; the donations to the
library had been considerable, and comprised many
valuable botanical works. The report was unanimously
adopted, after which a ballot took place for the council
for the ensuing year, when the chairman was re-elected
president, and he nominated Mr. J. Miers, F.R.S. and
Mr. A. Henfrey, F.R.S., vice-presidents, and Mr.i J.
Reynolds, treasurer.
LIVERPOOL.—The clipper ship James Baines will take
out the snail to Australia of the 9th of December, in
place of the GeLeral Screw Steam-Shipping Company's
vessel ; and the clipper ship Lightning will carry the
sth of January mails to Australia, in place of the over-
land mail.
LIVERPOOL, Nov. 29.—The United States' mail
steamer Pacific, Nye commander, which should have
taken her departure for New York with 173 passengers
and the mails of the Cunard as well as the Collins' line
on board, does not sail until to-morrow, owing to the
boi.,terous weather. Last night it blew a gale, and
heavy squalls still prevail. The schooner Progress, of
Bristol, was di iven on the West Boyle Bank during tke
gale, and sank ; and the schooner Czar, with coals on
board for the Pacific, went ashore, and was abandoned
in Llandudno-bay. No other casualties have been re-
ported.
The additional vessels reported by the overland mail
being on their way from Australia are the Crcesus steamer,
with 3,805 ounces of gold and 20,992 sovereigns ; the
Anna Mary, with 16,000 sovereigns ; and the Raphr el,
with 1,073 ounces and 18,000 sovereigns, the total va:ue
