TURKEY.

No official notice of the rupture of diplomatic
relations between Russia and Turkey had been made
at Constantinople by M. DB TITOFF up to the 26th
ult. The Porte is prepared for an active and vigor-
ous resistance, if the Emperor of RUSSIA perseveres
in his demands, and the great majority of the Turks
are exceedingly anxious for war. The breach be-
tween Sir STRATFORD CANNING and M. DE TITOFF
is complete; the latter raves against the whole race
of Cannings in a style of fury, more resembling that
of a maniac than of a diplomatist.

ITAL Y.

The Giornale di Roma of the 2d publishes a noti-
fication of the Minister of Commerce, Fine Arts,
Industry, and Agriculture of Rome, dated the 20th
ult., stating that in September, 1848, the Papal Go-
vernment had directed that every town and village of
the State should send in a detailed account of the corn
existing in the stores, both of the preceding
year and of the last harvest ; but that the
communal magistrates who had been entrusted
with the execution of the measure had
committed serious mistakes in their reports.
They are consequently called upon to use
their utmost exertions this time in the exact compila-
tion of their reports on the subject, so as to give a
correct account of the grain in store. The same
journal publishes a notice from the commission for
the restitution of articles put into requisition by the
late Government, inviting all superiors and adminis-
trators of churches to send in their claims for the
restitution of the church bells which had been melted
down for cannon by the late Government. An order
of Prince ODESALCEIT, Senator of Rome, directs that
the streets and squares in those parts of the city in
which demolitions had been commenced for the pur-
poses of defence, shall be cleared of the rubbish that
still prevents circulation.
A letter from Rome of the 4th says :—" The
General in-Chief, after having accorded a last delay of
21 hours to the holders of interdicted arms, who had not
conformed to the decree of disarming, ordered domici-
liary visits to be made in suspected houses. These
visits brought to light the discovery of a considerable
quantity of arms. According to letters from Bologna,
the Austrian military authorities have opposed the dis-
solution of the corps of carbineers, transformed into a
body of velites, by an ordonnance of the three Cardi-
nals. They also, it is said, regard, as inapplicable to
the Legations, certain prescriptions of the amnesty and
moto proprio. The cholera broke out at Bologna the
day attar the arrival of a body of 800 Croatians. It is
also said to be at Ancona. Civita Vecchia
Rome, and its environs, have not been at-
tacked by it. In the last days of September a riot held
in agitation for three days the hospital
of Santo Spirito. That vast establishment, besides
the wards set apart for patients, contains an asylum
for 450 female foundlings. They had profited by the
liberty allowed under the Republic to do as they
liked, and when they heard that they were to be re-
placed under the direction of Piedmontese nuns, they
broke out into open rebellion, smashed the furniture,
and even took refuge on the roof. It was found
necessary to employ force, and even to imprison a
score of them to restore order."

SAXON Y.

On the 20th the deputies of Carlowitz presented
a memorial to the Chamber praying the Chambers to
invite the Government, first, not to give effect to the
reservations which it has made relative to the treaty of
the 26th May; secondly, that they may be again
represented in the Administrative Council by a pleni-
potentiary;
and, thirdly, to take measures that the
deputies of the Saxon nation be admitted to the Par-
liament at Erfurth. This memorial, in consequence of
its urgency, was referred to a special committee of
five members.

these Christmas Satlr,ali4.—w,.uld Allow, went off
extremely well. The p'ay was the Abrchant of
Venice, with Mr. Anderi.m as ShyloLk, Mits Laura
Addison as Portia, and the other characrers filled by
F. Vining, and some other actors new to these
boards. A. very considerable portion of the perfo!-
ance passed off literally in dumb show ; and the
lessee had several times to come forward and strive to
propitiate the uproarious crowd in the pit and gahery,
by offers of money to be returned and so forth. But
all was in vain ; they did not want either money or
quiet—they wanted the pantomime. The pantomime
at last came ; and a capral one it is—enough alone to
carry Mr. Anderson over the early difficulties of his
season, till he shall have had time to organ;ze his future
arralgemen•s.

FROM 3IESSRS. STEWART, JOLLY, AND CO.

" Tampico, Noy. 12, 1849.
" Sir,—We have the honour to enclose an invoice and
bill of lading for 18,423 dolls. 50c., shipped per packet
Dee, consigned to the Governor of the Bank of England,
and to be held at the joint disposal of you and Don
Francisco Facio, agent for the Mexican Republic, for
account of the bondholders.

" We also enclose a list of 20 per cent. accepted duty
bills, which we have received from the Custom-house
for collection, amounting to 44,550 dolls. 3c., and which
we will ship regularly as they become due—that is, we
will ship by each packet the amount collected during the
previous month; the labour and time lost in collecting
and changing the small money (in which all are paid)
into hard dollars being too much to enable us to ship all
that falls due up to the time of the shipment being made.
" We have the honour, ace.,
" STEWART L. JOLLY, and Co.
" G. R. Robinson, Esq."
We have also the following memorandum from Colonel
Facio:—

"Colonel Facio has the honour to inform the holders
of Mexican bonds that there have been received by the
packet Dee just arrived:—
" From Vera Cruz 546,565 53
"From Tampico

$64,989 3
" Received to November last 255,004 32

" Total remitted $319,993 35
" Which sums nmain in the Bank of England for the
payment, of future dividends."

NEW 'WAY OF RAISING THE WIND —On Satur-
day, Thomas Ox, a man formerly captain of one of the
Birkenhead steamers, was charged at the police court
with raising money under false pretences. It appeared
the prisoner leads rather a dissolute life, and had been
in the habit of so raising money. On the 3.1 instant,
tie called on Mr. Jones, ironfounder, and ordered him
to send a man to Mr. Parry's hotel, Secombe, to do
some work; but Mr. Parry had never given such au•
thority. Some weeks ego ho sent a person across to
Woodside with some portmanteaus, and obtained 6(1. as
commission, but no such articles were wanted. He bad
endetad several articles to be sent to Mr. Willoughby's,
Tranmere, in the same manter, he receiving small
sums or small quantities of drink. On one occasion he
sent a hearse and a mourning coach to the same gentle-
man, and afterwards, on the same day, Jolliffe's musical
band (1), representing that Mr. Willoughby was about
to treat his friends to a grand ball. Both cases were
equally unauthorised. Mr. Jolliffe gave the prisoner a
pint of beer when be gave the order. Mr. Willoughby
said there were about 150 cans against the prisoner.
Mr. Rushton said, no doubt the prisoner had :old false-
hoods, but it did not appear that the law could be
brought against him for getting the money. The pri-
soner was remanded, but no further inquiry was entered
into yesterday.—Liverpool Standard.

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 20th have been received.
The Herald() of Madrid of the 20th states that the
Committee of the Chamber of Deputies on the propo-
sition relative to the importation of iron, had delibe-
rated thereon, and that it was divided in opinion,
some of the members insisting on the establishment of
protective duties equivalent to prohibition, others that
moderate duties only shall be proposed. The Herald#
expresses the belief that on this question the Legisla-
ture" will act in the same spirit as that which it
displayed in the recent modifications in the tariffs.
A Madrid letter of the 20th says :—" It is stated
that a contract has been entered into by the houses
of ROTHSCHILD and BARING to advance a sum of
50,000/. sterling to the Government, on security of
the future produce of the mines of Almaden. This

OLYMPIC THEATRE.

The new Olympic Theatre was opened for dramatic
entertainments, for the first time, last night, and was
well filled with as good-natured, merry, and well-
behaved a Christi-ma-holiday audience, as one could
desire to witness. As if, with the improvements in
the new erection, were required a revision of the
code of laws which generally regulate the conduct of
a theatrical audience, and are sometimes unmercifully
exercised, there were none of those rows, fights, and
catcallings, which invariably characterize the pro-
ceedings- of a boxinga night. Indeed the gods and
pittites put up with the delays consequent upon a first
representation with a degree of patience and for-
bearance seldom before witnessed. On entering
the edifice, which, Phceaix-like, has sprung
up from the ashes of the old Olympic,
we could not but compare the rapid and beau-
tiful transformation which had been made to a change
of scene effacted by the Harlequin's wand in a pan-
tomimic 1., presentation ; where before was a cramped-
up unsightly erection, which in the course of a long
career had been cut about and altered so as to posses-
little of its original form, there is now, perhaps, one
of the most elegant, best arranged little theatres in
London, in all the bloom and freshness which can
belong to a newly:finished building. A detailed and
accurate description of the whole edifice having
already been given in this paper, it is sufficient to say
that every possible arrangement has been male to
conduce to the comfort and convenience of the spec-
tators; and that the gallery, boxes, and pit have been
planned so that an excellent view of the stage may be
obtained from every part of the house. The company,
which is one of remarkable strength, is collected
from nearly every other metropolitan establishment,and
contains, among others, Mr. C. Davenport, Mr.
Compton, Mr. Frank Matthews, Mr. Meadows, Mr.
J. Reeve, Mr. A. Wigan, and Mr. Holl ; Mrs.
Muwatt, Mit= Fanay Vining, Mrs. Seymour, Miss
L. Marshall, a.,,c1 Mitt L. Coleman. The curtain rose
amidst loud cheers shortly aften seven o'clock, when
the whole of the performers appeared upon the stage,
and sang " God save the Queen," in a style which
elicited the loudest applause. Mrs. Mowatt shortly
afterwards came ferward, and delivered with great
taste the following address, which was written for
the occasion by Mr. Albert Smith, and was through-
wit wo:11 burste.

NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE.

A meeting of preference shareholders in this com-
pany was held on Monday, at Stafford, for the pur-
pose of considering what steps should be taken to
secure the payment of the full dividend on the pre-
ference shares, instead of the reducol dividend on the
15th of January next. Mr. T. Egerton, MT., was
called to the chair.

It appeared that the preference share capital
amounted to 1,170,0001., in 58,500 shares of 201. each,
being entitled to a dividend of 6/. 13s. 4d. per cent.
until the opening of the entire North Staffordshire
Railway, after which period these shares to be entitled
to a dividend of 5 per cent. per annum. These shares
were given in exchange by the North Staffordshire
Company for the OH Trent and Mersey Canal
shares, which were in existence prior to the formation
of the railway company. The matter in dispute be-
tween the holders of the preference shares, with
Lord Hatherton at their head, and the directors of
the North Stafforshire Railway is, that the former
contend that the entire line of railway set forth in the
Act of Parliament has not been opened, and there-
fore they are entitled to the full dividend, 61. 13s.
41. per cent., until it is opened. The railway
directors assert that the entire line was opened before
the 15'..h of July last, and that consequently the old
canal proprietors, now the holders of the preference
shares, are entitled to receive only five per cent. on
their shares until the net earnings of the railway
exceed this amount on the whole capital of the com-
pany, when the holders of the preference shares will
be entitled to a ra..oatAe proportion of the net re-
ceipts above five per cent. until the dividend on the
preference shares shell amount to 6/. 135. 41. per
cent., beyond which th-y are not to participate in
the profits. At present the net earnings of the North
Stafferdshire Railway do not exceed 1 I:cr cent. per
annum on the capital expended, so that there is no
chance of the preference shares participating in
profits above the 5 per cent. mentioned. The com-
pany have given notice of an application to Parliament
for power to abandon certain branches, and to remove
the restriction with regard to them respecting payment
of dividends.

After some conversation a deputation was appointed
to confer with the directors on the subject, and to
represent that the opinions of counsel were in favour
of the preference shareholders' claim.

DEFERRED ANNUITIES.
)y the operation of the same principles, the Society is ea►abled to
afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta-
geous than any hitherto offered, 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 tine, the power of
b orrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk
0A- f.rfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording
ail ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and
shOuld the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, twe-
thin •di of his payments will be returned to his representatives.
'lf he following Table is a specimen of the great and varied adYan.
tag es which the judicious application of a small saving caa secure

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC,

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
In the Assembly on Monday the withdrawal of
the Bill for completing the tomb of the Emperor
NAponnox, and the report of the Committee impli-
cating M. DUCHATZL, were the subject of an animated
discussion.

111. DESMOUSSIAUX DE Glynis complained of a
note published in the Moniteur, which he said con-
veyed an insinuation against a report of a Committee
of that Assembly. M. FERDINAND BARROT simply
declared that he had withdrawn the Bill for the
finishing of the monument, as was his right ; and
that it was therefore useless to discuss a docu-
ment which was then of no consequence. After
some discussion, the Assembly, notwithstanding the
opposition of M. FERDINAND BARROT, resolved that
the report of M. ALBERT DE LUTNEs should be
printed, together with the report of the Cour des
Comtes, and some other documents necessary to
throw light on the subject. In the course of the
discussion, Generals FAIPTIER and LEBRETON hinted
that the reseaches of the Committee had brought out
facts of a very compromising nature as regarded
certain persons, and that it was necessary the inqui-
ries should be followed up.
The Moniteur contradicts, from authority, a
rumour given by the Assemblie Nationale of an in -
tended modification in the Cabinet.
Some disturbances have occurred at Ceret and at
Arles, in consequence of the dismissal of the Sub-
Prefects of those places by the Minister of the
Interior. The disturbances were suppressed by the
military.
It would appear that the Solons of the French
dockyards are not one whit behind those of our own
in the art of b uilding unserviceable vessels of war.
A letter from Brest of the 21st inst. states that
the ship of the line Volney, of 120 guns, built in
that port, had been ordered by the Minister of Ma-
rine to proceed to Toulon. When at sea, however, she
proved to be so unmanageable that it was found
necessary to bring her back to Brest. This vessel
was commenced in the year 1837, and cost 5,000,000 f.
Several ships of the Meditterranean squadron are
to be dismantled at Toulon on their return from the
Levant.
The Bourse was animated yesterday, and the price of
public securities improved. The Five per Cents.
opened at 92f. 20c. and closed at 92f. 40c.

VICTORIA THEATRE.

This how last night was crowded to suffocation,
the first piece being the drama of the White Slave.
Next came the fun of the evening, the pantomime,
named, Harlequin TVat Tyer ; or, Jack Straw's Rebel-
lion and the Fairies of the Land of Flowers. The
first scene represents the abode of the Fairy Loda
while summoning Cupid, and she is informed by that
wicked little god that Sir Watkyn Dudley has fallen
in love with \Vat Tyler's daughter. The next scene
is Greenwich-park, where the King is discovered
hunting. He is told of a poll-tax having been
levied on his people, when he ejaculates—
" Levy a tax, what will my people say."
To- which the tax-gatherer replies—
" They grumble, Sire, as usual, but still they pay."
The tax -gatherer and Wat Tyler both die, and
then the transformations take place, Maude,
Wet Tyler's daughter, into Columbine, Wat
Tyler into Clown, and Sir Watkyn Dudley
into Pantaloon. Both Harlequin and Columbine
danced very neatly ; Herr Dearie made a capital
sprite, twisting about as if he had no bones in his
body. There were several smart hits in the course of
the evening ; one was the Sultan of Turkey feeding
two Hungarians, which brought down thunders of
applause. The Clown got a box made of pieces of
wood laid on straw, from which he made some very
pretty music. Altogether, we may say that Mr.
Osbaldiston has made a most successful hit, and we
have uo doubt it will have a long run.

SAXON Y.

On the 20th the deputies of Carlowitz presented
a memorial to the Chamber praying the Chambers to
invite the Government, first, no, to give effect to the
reservations which it has made relative to the treaty of
the 26:h May; secondly, that they may be again
represented in the Administrative Council by a pleni-
potentiary; and, thirdly, to take measures that the
deputies of the Saxon nation be admitted to the Par-
liament at Erfurth. This memorial, in consequence of
its urgency, was referred to a special committee of
five members.

DEFERRED ANNUITIES.

uy the operation of the same princip'es, the Society is enabled to
afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta-
geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con-
tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se-
cure either a oomfortable 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 6 of all previous payments, it removes all risk
of forfeiture 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 call secure
through this Society.

GERMANY

AND

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

The New Oder Gazette states that the Austrian
soldiery in Gallicia, both officers and soldiers, are
in the daily habit of committing the greatest atrocities
upon the unfortunate inhabitants. The following is
one of the latest exploits of these worthy disciples of
HAYNAU and WINDISCHGRATZ• At Zolkiew a tavern
keeper named'CWIKIEL declared to his customers that
he could no longer afford to supply them on credit.
Some Austrian officers, who already owed him 800
florins, required that he should withdraw his notice
and continue to supply them on credit. The tavern-
keeper, who had no security for the payment
of the debt already due, and who was perfectly
aware of the shortness of memory of officers in the
Austrian service, where debts due from themselves
were concerned, refused to supply the officers and
these valiant heroes thereupon killed him on the
spot, and this atrocious murder has been suffered
to go unpunished. There are, we believe, several
scions of the English aristocracy and squirearchy who
still hold commissions in the Austrian service. It
would be well that the names of these comrades of
assassins should he known, in order that honest people
may avoid all communication with the associates of
the RUSHES and MANNINGS of Austria. Will the
King of SAXONY confer the order of St. Henry on
the murderers of the tavern-keeper CIVIKIEL ?
The Post Gazette, of Franktort, states that the
Austrian Governrcent has charged the banking
house of RETHMANN and Co., of that city, to pay
henceforth the coupons af the the Austrian metallics,
at the price current of Frankfort. No such mode
of payment has been made since July, 1848.
The Austrian Government has announced to the
authorities of Riva, and other places situated on the
Lake of Garda, that no private steamers shall hence-
forward be allowed to ply on the Like, but that the
commercial operations shall be carried on by the Im-
perial war-vesels.
The Austrian Government is causing to be built at
Trieste a steam frigate of war of 640 horse• power.

The following are among* the aJvantages offered by this Society

ECONOMY" combined with Security.
The RATES of Premiam are lower than those of any other office,
which eatitle the assured to participate in the profits, and considerably
lower than those of any other Mutual Assurance Society.
The WHOLE of the PROFITS are divided every fifth year among
the Assured, and a Bonus is added, after the payment of the Fifth
Annual Premium tfievery Policy effected en the participating Scale,
If a claim accrue thereon prior to the seat division of profits.
The BONUSES declared at the three former divisions (arising
from three-foarths only of the proltri), averaged 16, 31, and 36 per
cent. respectively on the amount of Premiums paid.
The BONUS declared in 1849 (arising from the whole of tke pro-
fits), being the result of the operations of the Society during the last
live 3 ears upon the Mutual Principle, averaged 62 per coat. on the
Premiums received.

All Assurances effected during the year 1849, on the equal rates of
Premium, will be entitled to participate in th., profits to be declared
in 1854.

The subjoined Table sitows the advantages offered by this Society,
resulting from low Premiums, and a division of the entire profits
among the Assured :
