TURKEY.

By the Levant mail we have received Constantino-
ple journals to the 24th, and Athens journals to the
28th ult. inclusively. The Journal de Constantinople
has the following on the subject of the Hungarian
refugees :—" Nothing new has taken place relative to
the question of the extradition of the political refu-
gees who are at Widdin. Things remain in statu
quo until the return of FUAD EFFENDI, who has pro-
ceeded to St. Petersburgh with the reply of the Porte.
It is hoped that the wisdom of the Governments in-
terested in the question will succeed in settling it
without injury to the rights or dignity of either of
them." There is nothing else of interest in these
journals.

MARYLEBONE.

James Cavanagh was brought before Mr. Brough-
ton, charged on a warrant with having made an
atrocious attack upon police-constable Leonard, 50
D, with a shoemaker's knife. The outrage took
place on the 21st of August, since which period the
accused has, until the last day or two, kept out of the
way, knowing well that proceedings would be taken
against him.
The MAGISTRATE, after remarking upon the nature
of the charge, and considering whether he should not
send the prisoner to take his trial for the offence,
ultimately came to the determination of dealing with
the case summarily as an assault of a serious descrip-
tion, and inflicted a penalty of 51., in default of pay-
ment, two months' imprisonment in the House of
Correction.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.

CORN-EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY
An unusually small supply of English Wheat was oa
offer in to-day's market. Still, however, the demand,
owing to the small number of buyers in attendance,
was in a very inactive state, at barety last week's quota.,
Lions. The imports of foreign Wheat this week have
been confined to 3,260 quarters.
.Fine dry qualities
were in moderate request, at fell prices. In the mid.
cluing and inferior kinds exceedingly little business was
passing. W. e were but scantily supplied with Barley.
Fine malting parcels sold freely ; other descriptions
slowly, at about stationary prices. In Malt so little was
doing that the currencies were almost nominal. The
first supply was 1,510 quarters. The supply of Oats
from most parts was tolerably good. Sound Corn was
in fair re quest at full prices. Damp parcels hung on
hand. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Meal, were very
dull. A fair average amount of business was transacted
in Flour, at fully late rates.

THE ♦UTOGRAPH LETTER OE THE CZAR TO THE SULTAN

The following is said to be the substance of the
letter addressed by the Emperor NlcnoLAs to the
SULTAN, and transmitted by Prince RADZIYIL :
" The revolutionary element has been suppressed.
The Hungarian war is at an end. I send to you my
aide-dc-camp, who will submit to you various demands
calculated to insure the maintenance of order."
The reply of the SULTAN to this arrogant epistle
(forwarded by FUAD EFFENDI) is no less laconic ; its
tenor is pretty nearly as follows :
" Your aide-de•camp has demanded from me the ex •
tradition of the Hungarian refugees. This demand
being of a nature to cast odium on the two Powers, I
entreat your Imperial Majesty not to insist on the
point."

remanded until Tuesday.
SOUTHWARK.

William Mew,- ; respectable-looking young man,
who was described as a commercial traveller, residing
at Bexley-heath, where he has a wife and family
living, was brought before Mr. Seeker for final exa-
mination, charged with administering poison to Helen
Ealing, a young woman with whom he cohabited,
with intention of destroying her.
The prisoner was discharged.

STATE OF TRADE, MANCHESTER.—The market

today has been very quiet. The advance of cotton in
Liverpool on Monday was /d. per lb. The large sales
made are inducing the spinners and manufacturers to
hold off buying at the present prices. The sales effected
in yarn at the advanced rates were very limited, whilst
the demand for heavy goods was slight. It is said that
should the present high price of cotton continue, the
millowners will be compelled to resort to short time, or
a reduction of wages. As many of the manufacturers
are averse to adopting the latter alternative, it is not im-
probable that the operations of some manufacturers will
be suspended for the present. Yarns may be considered
id. to id. per lb. worse to-day, and considerable trans.
actions re reported to have taken place. In goods a
small advance has been asked, rather with a desire to
check a disposition to business.
The elevation of mind in its maturity is valuable,
most especially from the discriminate retrospect it com-
mands over Ili fairy Noes of childhe)d,—Eliza Cook's

LAMBETH.

Stephen Alfred Jordan alias Dowland, who has been
i❑ custody since the 19th of last month on a charge of
attempting to murder. Sarah Frances Ewings in
Dulwich-wood, by cutting her throat and beating her
on the head and face with the butt-end of a pistol,
was placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott for final
examination.

The first witness called was the young woman
Swings, who had been brought from Guy's Hospital
in a cab, and who is still in an exceedingly weak
state, and still bears on the left side of her face the
marks of the prisoner's murderous attack. She de-
posed as follows :—I have known the prisoner for
more than a year and a half, and kept company with
him for that time, and am at present in the family
way by him. In the month of July last I went to
live in Francis-street, Newington, and the prisoner
came there several times to see me. On Wednesday,
the 19th of last month, I received a letter from the
prisoner through the post, desiring me to meet him at
eight o'clock at Brixton Church. I went to Brixton
Church at that time, and there I met the prisoner.
He asked me how I was. I had not seen him for a
fortnight before. He told me had taken a lodging,
at Croydon, that he had got three months' work there,
and that he was going to take me with him. He told
me to write a note to my landlady, to say she would
hear of me in a day or two. He had got paper and
a pen and ink, and I stood under a lamp-post at
Brixton Church while I wrote a note to my landlady,
as he desired, on the cover of a book which he also
had with him. I addressed the note to the landlady
and gave it to him to put in the post. He asked me
also to write a note addressed to him, that he might
show it, as he said, to my friends if they asked him
about me, and he told me to write in it that he would
hear from me in a day or two. I wrote that letter
as he requested, and gave him the letter with the
other to put in the post. I consented to go with him
to Croydon, but before doing so I said " How can I
go without clothes ?" and he said " Never mind them,
you can go without them for a day or two, nobody
will see you, and I will come up with you to fetch
them." I then consented to go, and asked him which
way he was going? He replied that he was going
ng
to Penge-common, to take the train from t h ereto
Croydon ; he said the lodging was a quarter ofamile
from the station at Croydon. We walked together
for about an hour, and I did not know what way we
were going, but he told me we were going to Dul-
wich-wood. We walked along by the side of the
wood for some time, and we then got over a stile. He
said that was the way. Then we got amongst the
bushes. There was a narrow path with bushes on
each side. We went a little way along that path.
I walked first for a little way, but then I told him to
go first as he knew the way better than I did. He

had been posted through the city. The Porte had,
in consequence, recalled the greater number of the
Turkish troops in Wallachia. 2,000 cavalry had
already arrived. It was said .that Kossuth and the
other Polish and Hungarian chiefs were on their way
'o Constantinople.

LAMBETH.

Stephen Alfred Ja-dan alias Dowland, who has been
in custody since the 19th of last month on a charge of
attempting to murder Sarah Frances Ewings in
Dulwich-wood, by cutting her throat and beating her
on the head and face with the butt•end of a pistol,
was placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott for final
examination.

The first witness called was the young woman
E wings, who had been brought from Guy's Hospital
in a cab, and who is still in an exceedingly weak
state, and still bears on the left side of her face the
marks of the prisoner's murderous attack. She de-
posed as follows :—I have known the prisoner for
more than a year and a half, and kept company with
him for that time, and am at present in the family
way by him. In the month of July last I went to
live in Francis-street, Newington, and the prisoner
came there several times to see me. On Wednesday,
the 19th of last month, I received a letter from the
prisoner through the post, desiring me to meet him at
eight o'clock at Brixton Church. I went to Brixton
Church at that time, and there I met the prisoner.
He asked me how I was. I had not seen him for a
fortnight before. He told me had taken a lodging,
at Croydon, that he had got three months' wcrk there,
and that he was going to take me with him. He told
me to write a note to my landlady, to say she would
hear of me in a day or two. He had got paper and
a pen and ink, and I stood under a lamp-post at
Brixton Church while I wrote a note to my landlady,
as he desired, on the cover of a book which he also
had with him. I addressed the note to the landlady
and gave it to him to put in the post. He asked me
ale) to write a note addressed to him, that he might
show it, as he said, to my friends if they asked him
about me, and he told me to write in it that he would
hear from me in a day or two. I wrote that letter
as he requested, and gave him the letter with the
other to put in the post. I consented to go with him
to Croydon, but before doing so I said " How can I
go without clothes ?" and he said "Never mind them,
you can go without them for a day or two, nobody
will see you, and I will come up with you to fetch
them." 71 then consented to go, and asked him whi▪
ch
way he was going? Ile replied that he was goi▪
ng
to Penge-conirnon, to take the train from there to
Croydon ; he sad the lodging was a quarter of a mile
from the station at Croydon. We walked together
for about an hour, and I did not know what way we
were going, but he told me we were goini;. to Dul-
wich-wood. We walked along lay the side of the
woad for some time, and we then got over a stile. He
said that was the way. Then we got amongst the
bushes. There was a narrow path with bushes on
each side. We went a little way along that path.
I walked first for a little way, but then I told him to
go first as he knew the way better than I did. He

DEFERRED ANNUITIES,

By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to
afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta-
geous than any hitherto offared, whereby an individual, by the con-
tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se-
cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or,
at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his
death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of
borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk
of ferfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording
an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and
should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two-
thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.
'the following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan-
tages which the Judicious application of a small saving cam secure
through this Society_

LORD JOHN RUSSELL.

" Although the Noble Lord in question is certainly
not a very eager and over-precipitate advocate of poli-
tical changes, and on the contrary is more to be remarked
for a disposition to go to sleep over them, and to continue
that sleep to a very late hour indeed, this measure of
justice must be dealt to him, that when he has at last
prevailed on himself' to stir, and is determined to make
an advance, he seems to speak with far more nerve and
earnestness, and certainly with far greater effect upon his
auditory, than when proposing or defending measures of
restriction, severity, and injustice. In the latter case he
is of the earth, earthy:—heavy, laboured,stiff, dogmatical,
and dogged. In the former he surprises by the bursts of
a singular and really chastened eloquence; glittering
over the usual correct coldness of his delivery, like sun-
shine over an ice-encumbered stream. Of his powers of
sarcium, the observation may be hazarded, that with him
that vory serviceable but ignoble weapon is perhaps more
keen and piercing than when wielded by almost any
other in the House. To use the expressive language *1
the Fancy, he is ' in to you before you are aware of it.' "

here last evening in her favourite character of Rosa-
lind, and acted it with that mixture of archness,
simplicity, gentleness, and grace, which is the pecu-
liar characteristic of her impersonation of this one of
the most loiely of the creations of Shakspere. She
dresses the character admirably, and the velvet cap
and tunic trimmed with fur, should be from this time
forward the costume of every future Rosalind. Mr.

studied the part, and studied it to profit. The play
was admirably put on the stage, and the house was

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES

COPENHAGEN, OCT. 15.—Apprehensions are en-
tertained by a portion of the public that either
Denmark will be forced to a peace by the great
powers, or that war will ensue before the meeting of
the National Diet, which is not to be convened till
January. One of the Danish journals asserts that
peace cannot be legally concluded without the con-
currence of the Diet; and another journal (Flyvessos-
ten) states, that the KING has retained to himself_the
power of convoking the old Diet in case of impera-
tive necessity.
The official statement of the national bank has just
been published. From this it appears that the clear
profit of the National Bank of Aarhaas amounted
during the last banking year, ending June 30, 1849,
to 125,362 rix dollars ; the bank then having a surplus
of 1,648,474 rix dollars. The bank then possessed
11,527 in silver, Hamburgh bank and English bank
notes. There was a deficit in cash to meet the
current circulation of 1,320,378 rix dollars. The
active capital of the bank amounted to 13,461,993.
Several changes are to take place in the army.
General SCHLESSPEGRELL is to be appointed com-
mandant of Alien, and General Man. to another
post. The cavalry is to be greatly diminished, while
the artillery, on the other hand, is to be reinforced.
The Danish Consul-General at Paris, M. DELANY,
has been honoured with the title of Baron, as a
reward for having purchased French muskets for the
Danish Government at the nominal price of six
francs per piece.
The Berlinger Zeitung states that the Chamber-
lain who arrived from Berlin is still performing
quarantine ; and that with regard to the
negotiations about recent events in Schleswig, it is
confidently hoped that the decisive measures adopted
by Government will have the desired effect. The
Flyvessosten says that the Prussian note gives the
Danish Government the assurance that the armistice
shall be carried out in detail as well as in toto, and
that all mistrust of Prussia on this head is unfounded ;
Ilat Prussia will demand the immediate evacua-
tion of Friedrihsort, and has dismissed Major Vox
WAssou from Tondern.
A very short time will go to prove whether it be
true that in a recent Cabinet Council held at Berlin,
at which the Austrian Ambassador was present, it
was decided that his Majesty the King of DENMARK
received full power over his hereditary dominions,
and power to quell the insurrection in the Duchies
without any interference on the part of foreign
powers.—Oct. 16.

THE PIMLICO TRAGEDY.

The adjourned inquisition, touching the cause of
the deaths of the five unfortunate individuals who
perished in the foul sewer in Kenilworth-street, Pim-
lico, was resumed yesterday, before Mr. Bedford,
the Coroner for Westminster, at the Clarendon Tavern,
Pimlico.
Mr. J. Phillips, of No. 9, Priory-road, Wands-
worth-road, and chief surveyor to the Metro-
politan Commissioners of Sewers, was the first
witness called to-day. He stated that the sewer was
built by Mr. Thomas Cubitt in January, 1848.
Directions had been previously given by the Commis-
sioners as to the mode in which it should be built, but
he did not see it at the time. There were printed
regulations supplied to Mr. Cubitt as to the
form and size of the sewers always re-
quired to be built by the Commissioners.
These printed regulations, together with the petition
of Mr. Thomas Cubitt for leave to build the sewer,
were read by Mr. Phillips. The sewer was built
under the inspection of the officer in charge of the
district, and so far as the works had gone, the printed
regulations had been complied with ; but as yet the
sewer was incomplete as it was originally de-
signed or intended. He had, within the last
few days, inspected the sewer in which this
calamity took place. It was a brick sewer, 418 feet
in length, nine inches thick, four feet high, and two
feet six inches in width. The sewer had scarcely
any fall, but if it had any it was into the Warwick•
street sewer. It. was bricked up at the end of it,
to prevent mischievous boys from getting into Kenil-
worth-street. There were six houses in the street,
three only of which were inhabited, and one of those
mas the house in which they we re then assembled..
The sewer was flat, and perhaps that was the cause of
the accumulation of matter in it. There
were two gullyholes into the sewer close to
Warwick-street, but they were about 300 yards
from the wall which locked up the Kenilworth
sewer. There were no means of ventilating the
sewer; but it should be borne in mind that the
sewer was not yet completed. These causes would
not produce an accumulation of gases, because the foul
refuse carried away from the three houses he
had already mentioned consisted of sand or earthy
matter, which could not by any possibility generate
gas likely to prove destructive to animal life. He,
therefore, attributed the existence of the gases which
had killed these men to the fact that aboiit five feet
