Advices from Constantinople to the 25th of August
have been received. The thirty millions of piastres
due to Russia were in readiness ; so that the CZAR
will now be deprived of every pretext for delaying the
evacuation of Silistria. TAHIR PACHA was with his
troops at Mesurrata, where the Arabs received him in
such a manner as to convince him that their subjuga-
tion would be a work of great difficulty. Reinforce-
ments from Tripoli were about to embark to relieve
him. It is likely that this affair will lead to serious
differences between France and the Sublime Porte,
unless England succeed in maintaining a friendly
understanding between them. France is greatly blamed
for entering into an alliance with the SULTAN'S vassal,
the Bey of Turas, without the consent or knowledge
of the Porte. Russia of course is not idle. The
opportunity thus offered her to foment a quarrel be-
tween France and Turkey is eagerly seized by her
emissaries in Constantinople, who are hard at work to
widen the breach between the two Powers. The pre-
sence of Lord PONSONBY is the great stumbling-
block to the accomplishment of their designs. The
firmness and excellent understanding of his Lordship
will be severely tested before the question at issue can
be amicably settled.

We beg to direct the attention of his MAJESTY'S
Government to an article on the subject of Import
Duties on British property in Java, copied from a
Dutch paper, and inserted under the head of Holland.
Was Lord PA LMERSTON misinformed, when he
stated in the House of Commons, in answer to a
question of Mr. P. STEWART, that our trade with the
Dutch Colonies was in a fair way of being placed on
an advantageous footing ?

In its Sitting of the 9th inst., the Swiss Diet opened
its proceedings with the affair of CONSEIL, the French
spy, denounced by the Duke de MONTEBELLO as
one of FIESCIII'S accomplices. An outline of the
discussion thereon—which was highly important, and
very intercsting—will be found in another part of The
Sun. The high position taken by the Liberal depu-
ties must be very galling to the French Cabinet.
Louts PIIILLIPPE had better recal MONTEBELLO,
who is nothing but a blustering addle-headed bully.

The German Papers received this day, estimate the
number of troops which Russia will acquire by the
new levy, at 125,000 men. This estimate is considera-
bly too low. Nevertheless, the matter is not quite so
important as was at first imagined. The Circassians
have lately obtained several signal victories over the
armies of Russia ; so that, upon the whole, the CZAR
will have work enough for the whole of his troops,
without endangering the existence of the Turkish
empire. " Never have the arms of Circassia," writes
the correspondent of a Morning Contemporary from
Constantinople, under date of the 24th ult.—" been
crowned with more brilliant success, since the begin-
ning of the actual struggle with Russia, than during
the present year. At no period have her sons been
more firm in their determination to oppose the progress
of Russia, or better qualified to do so." Comment
upon this communication is quite unnecessary. Its
importance must be universally felt and appreciated.
The other accounts in the German Papers relate
principally to the coronation of the Emperor and
Empress of AUSTRIA at Prague. We are indebted
to our Contemporary the Post for a much more in-
teresting description of that Imperial pageant than is
to be met with in any of these Journals. It will be
read with great interest.

The Duke of Richmond was presented with his
diploma as Chancellor of the Marischal College, Aberdeen,

Lord Charles Wellesley arrived at Apsley House
on Monday last, on leave of absence from his regiment ; and
yesterday morning his Lordship left town on a visit to his-illus-
trious father, at Walmer Castle.
The Town Council of Salisbury resolved, last week,
to carry on their proceedings with closed doors, and that no
reporters for the public press be admitted.
A single family exists in Quebec, where seven of
the children were deaf mutes, and the more humane persons

It is but little to the credit of the neighbouring
landowners of Wilts, Hants, and Dorset, who escaped a si-
milar visitation, that the subscription for the sufferers by the
throughout late hailstorm near Salisbury, amounts, as yet, but to about
one-fourth of the loss sustained.
