TURKEY.

A letter from Constantinople, of the 21st, ix the
Semaphore of Marseilles, says :
" The council of Tauzimat continues to occupy itself
with the question of railways, but thus far has decided
nothing. The railway from Smyrna to Aidin was about
to he conceded to an English comp'sny represented by a
Mr. Wilkins, but the company sought to impose the con-
dition that it should have the preference for the railway
from Constantinople to Adrianople and Belgrade, and all
at once a Greek, M. Zarifi, deposited an offer for the
railway of Adrianople of 1,500,0001. sterling less tha❑
what the English company demanded, with deposit of
caution-money of 50,0001., to be abandoned in the event
of the line not being terminated within a given period.
His offer bas caused the concession to be again sus-
pended, and it is not known when it will be decided."

specie, and a cargo consisting principally of fruit.
Her Majesty's steamer Devastation, 40 days from
the Cape, coaled at Lisbon, and sailed for England
on the 28th ult.

Bills continue scarce upon the Lisbon Exchange,
in consequence of the importations of grain, kc.,
continuing greatly to exceed the exports. The
quotations for three months are—London, 53 ;
Paris, 5.28 ; Amsterdam, 431 ; Genoa, 526 ;
Stocks were still in demand, and gradually advalic-
ing in price, the last rates for Three per Cents.

and Deferred, 25 to 25i ; Bank of Portugal shares,
498 to 500 milreis each ; and Oporto Bank Stock,
18 to 20 per cent. premium.

The PortugHese Government had accepted the
Count de Ponte's resignation of the office of Civil
Governor of the Lisbon districts. Count Sobrail
or M. Bramcamp was likely to receive the appoint-
ment.

Two or three cargoes of wheat had been sold at
about 10 per cent. less than the ruling prices be-
fore the riots.

The French steamer Comtesse de Fregerille had
put into Gibraltar, with damaged machinery.
The sailing-transport Herefordshire left Gibraltar
for Spithead on the 23'1 ult., with 800 officers and
men of the Land Transports.

berton had also sailed for England.
The passengers by the Herefordshire arc the
principal portion of the inen who were wrecked in
the Spartan steamer off the coast of Tunis.

The French brig Znliine, from Havre, with a
general cargo, bound to Goree, foundered on the
18th of July, 30 miles to the westward of Lisbon.

AQUATICS.

THE GREAT SCULLERS' RACE FOR £lOO,
BETWEEN HENRY CORBY AND HENRY
WALTER.
This race has for a long time past created a great inte-
rest among rowing men, each of the competitors having
distinguished themselves at the Gravesend regattas of the
last season or two. Since the match was made each man has
been in active training, Corby going to Mr. Wilcox's, White
Hart, at Barnes, under the care of George Robins, and
Walter, accompanied by T. Grant, at Mr. Salter's, the
Feathers, Wandsworth, until within the last week, when
Corby removed to the Three Crowns, at Gravesend, and
Walter to the Ship and Lobster, Gravesend.

Each man having taken great pains over training, their
friends and admirers were sanguine on the result, and an
unusual amount of money was speculated Corby
being the favourite at about sto 4. The match took
place yesterday, the distance being from Cliff Creek,
about four miles below Gravesend, up to North
Fleet Creek. Three steam-boats were chartered to
accompany the race, mad, in consequence of the fineness
of the weather, the whole of them were crowded. Mr.
Alexander Ross, of Gravesend, was chosen umpire for
Corby, and Mr. Henry Salter, of Wandsworth, for
Walter ; Mr. Chas. Smith, of Blackwell, acting as re
feree. Corby baying won the toss for choice of stations,
hay then proceeded to take up their respective
positions, Corby choosing the north side ; and at
five minutes to one a very excellent start was
effected, Corby almost immediately taking the lead, and
increasing it at every stroke. At Coal House point, a
distance of about one mile, he had gained as moth
as eight or ten lengths, which ho still continued to
increase—the wind blowing high from the Essex shore,
causing heavy left-hand labour all the way. Off Graves-
end Corby was leading by nearly half a mile, after
which he rowed easily, and reached the winning-boat in
exactly 40 minutes ; Walter coming in two minutes be-
hind, having rowed the whole distance most manfully,
although without the least chance of success.

been walking through the fruit market, and observed a
female pick a gentleman's pocket. He proceeded to the

whilst he was stating the charge a number of Irishmen
were brought in in a state of intoxication. They. created
a great disturbance in the office, which greatly frighuened
Shand, and en the prisoners setting up a loud yell he fell

A HOME AND A WIFE•

thippy is a man who has a little home and a little
angel in it of a Saturday night. A house, no matter
how little, provided it will hold two or so—no matter
'how humbly furnished, provided there is hope in it ;
let the winds blow—close the curtainß.
What if they are calico, or rain white border, tassel,
the fit

or any such thing... Let the rains
,come down, heap

glowinghav nt a candle to bless
yourself ,
with, for what a beautVul light glowing coal
makes, rendering clouding, shedding a sunset through
the room ; just enough to talk by, not loud as in the
highway, nor rapid as the hurrying world, but softly,
slowly, wht,peringly, with pauses between, for the storm
without and the thoughts within, to fill up.'
Then wheel the sofa round before the fire—no matter
if the sofa is a settee, uncusbioned at that—if so be it is
just long enough for two and a half in it. now sweetly
the music of silver bells from the time to come falls on
the listening heart then. }low mournfully swell the
chimes.

Under such circumstances, and at such a time, one
can be at least sixty-nine and +-half statute miles
nearer " kingdom come than any other point in this
world laid down in Malte Brun."

AUSTRIA.

The Emancipation, of Brussels contains the fol-
lowing description of the new law which is being
prepared for the communal organisation of the
Austrian empire :
" The law is to be applicable to the whole of the mo
narchy, with the exception of the military frontiers and
the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom. The communes will
not be subjected to the absolute influence of the great
landed proprietors, but will have the right of electing
their mayors, deputy-mayors, and municipal councillor-.
As to the complete emancipation of the peasants it
remains a fait acquis. The provincial deputations
will hold an annual session, but their committees
will be permanent. The Eraperar reserves to himself
the right, when circumstances may require it, of assem-
bling all the representatives of the monarchy, and to call
together the ordinary members of the provincial deputa-
tions. These provincial deputations will be composed,
not of all the nobles in virtue of their rank, but only of
those who are landed proprietors ; and their nomination
will arise less from their quality of nobility than from
the fact of their being landowners. Landed proprietors,
who are not nobles, may form part of the same provin-
cial deputations. The members of the high clergy will
not figure in provincial representations except as owners
of land. Au exception is made in favour of delegates
from the Chambers of Commerce and Manufactures."

NAPLES.

The Journal de Francfort continues to receive
diplomatic communications from Vienna on the
affairs of Naples. A letter of the 28th ult. says :
Several journals have st::ted that France and Eng-
land have presented an ultimatum to the Neapc-
litan Cabinet, the rejection of which would com-
pel a recourse to arms. No one here has any
knowledge of such a proceeding having taken place,
and as to the employment of force, it would be a
very dangerous precedent to compel an independent
monarch to make modifications in the laws and
internal regulations of his government. It may be
with certainty admitted that, even were France
and England determined under certain circum-
stances to adopt coercive measures against the
King of the Two Sicilies, they would, before re-
sorting to that extremity, endeavour to bring the
existing differences to an amicable understanding
by the intervention of a friendly Power. The
efforts of Austria to induce the King of the Two
Sicilies to consider the demand of the Western
Powers less in the point of view of principles than
of practice are of quite a confidential character, and
in no way bear that of a mediation in the true
sense of the word."

A correspondent at Naples desires to call atten-
tion to a disgraceful system, encouraged by the
Government of King Ferdinand, of tampering with
the electric telegraph. The telegraph with Eng-
land bas been open two years, and he alleges that,
incredible as it may appear, the private messages
of merchants and others "are divulged, the instant
they arrive, to a set of monthly subscribing 'specu-
lators, who sot upon them and affect the markets

in most cases before the despatch has been deli-
vered to the rightful owner." He also states that a
commercial paper at Naples publicly gives the
substance of each message, contenting itself with
the sole omission of the names of the receivers.
The telegraph, it is added, is under the control of
Government, the officials consisting, for the most
part, of old Custom-house employes, who are bound
to hand a copy of each despatch as it arrives to the
Ministers of Finance and Police.

PRUSSIA.

The German, Journal of Frankfort states that
Count Benkendorff, the Russian military plenipo-
tentiary at Berlin, is appointed Russian minister at
Stuttgard, and that General Adlersberg, the son
of the officer of that name who was governor of
Simpheropol during the war, is to succeed him at
Berlin.
A letter from Berlin of the 31st ult., in the Con-
stitutionnel, says :—" The King left yesterday for
Pomerania, accompanied by avery numerous suite.
Prince Charles of Bavaria left to-day to join his
Majesty."

The Bourse Gazette of Berlin says :—" Baron de
Pentz, ex-consul of Prussia at Alexandria, is waited
here daily. He will proceed to Rio Janeiro, where
he will represent Prussia in the quality of minister
plenipotentiary. We learn from a good source
that Baron de Pentz, thanks to his energy, has
succeeded up to a certain point in arranging the
difficulty which had arisen between the Prussian
subject Loftier and the Egyptian government, re-
lative to the navigation of the Nile. The Pacha
will not be able to maintain the monopoly which
he has granted to an Egyptian company, and a
French company is being formed at Cairo, which
also intends to run steamers on the Nile."

MADAME TLISSAUD'S EXHIBITION. -- The Portrait
Model of William Palmer continues to draw numerous
visitors, more particularly strangers who visit the lee"
tropolis during this period of the year, and to them the
portrait of this cold-b'ooded criminal is an object of great
curiosity and interest, for few can equal him in the
number of his supposed victims. Many novelties are,
we understand, in preparation and will soon be exhibited
for public inspection.

No fresh news has arrived from the Serpents'

the late attempt made by the Russians to introduce
an additional force on the Island. There seems to
be no doubt that had it not been for the precau-
tions taken by Lord Lyons, and the presence and
energetic advice of Captain Hillyar of the Gladia-
tor, they would have been successful. Two more of
our gunboats have gone up to strengthen the hands
of Captain Hillyar. I hear the Chaptal, the only
French man-of-war here besides the aviso Ajaccio,
expects likewise orders to go up in a few days to
the Black Sea.
No news from Admiral Stewart and the Hanni-
bal. Colonel Geales, the British Commissioner

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.

Mr. Commissioner Tiolroyd was the Commissioner of
the day, but the cases were simply for audits on small
estates.

CITY SHERIFF COURT.
(Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.)
NICHOLSON, OTFICIAL ASSIGNEE, &C., V. JONES.

The plaintiffs in this action are the assignees of Messrs.
Williams, formerly bankers in Smithfield, to recover
the sum of 11., the balance of an account.
Mr. Hudson appeared for the plaintiffs, and called
one of the bankrupts, who proved that they had an
account open against the defendant, and there was a
balance due on the present bill, which had been made
payable at the banking-house, and he had only paid in
211., but the bill was taken up and consequently the
balance claimed was now due.

The defendant persisted that he had paid the whole
amount, and complained that the bankers had charged
3s. 6d. for making out the bill and ls. for taking it up.
His Honour said they had nothing to do with the
charges, and as he could not doubt the evidence he
should make an order for the amount.
Judgment accordingly.

BIRD V. DIGGES V. ELDER.-.--.EXPENSES OF WITNERBBS

UNDER SLYBPCENA TO THE SUPERIOR COURT.

The plaintiff in this case is a performer at the Britannia
Theatre, Eloaton, and the defendant is a dramatic author,
and the claint was for 104. for attending as a witness at
the Queen's Bench in an action brought by defendant
against Mr. Lane, the proprietor of the Britannia, for
performing a piece belonging to the defendant without
having obtained licence so to do.

His Honour said he did not like to encourage such
cases, as he considered that witnesses ought to get their
money from the parties at the time, and asked what was
the result.

Plaintiff said it was settled out of court, and de-
fendant received 101. for damages.
His Honour said the law was by no means clear on
the point, but he thought that it was the duty of the
attorney to pay the costs ; not doing so caused a great
deal of mischief, and left these courts to investigate the

case.
Mr. V. Field, a solicitor, said he always paid the wit-

nesses.

Mr. Hudson said it was not the general practice ; it
would be unreasonable to ask an attorney to pay wit
nesses, perhaps from 200 miles.
His Honour ultimately gave a verdict for the amount
claimed.

tINSURRECTION IN SWITZERLAND.

PARIS, THURSDAY MORNING.

An insurrection took place yesterday in the
Canton of Neufchatel.

The cry of the insurgents was—" Vive Le

Roi 1"*

The authorities are in the power of the insur-

gents.

• This rising is no doubt in favour of the longstand-
ing claims of the King of Prussia to the territory of
Neufchatel.

CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 27.
The Minister for War has resigned.
The Spanish Envoy, M. de Souza, has received
his letters of recall.

A letter from Vienna, in the Cologne Gazette,
says :—" The military measures that our Govern-
ment is taking in Italy, and which do not merely
consist in placing the sth corps of the army on a
war footing, have gven a fresh impulse to the
hostile sentiments of Sardinia towards Austria.
It is stated that the Sardinian army is to be in-
creased, and that Count CAvour has already ad
dressed a note to the Sardinian Ministers at
Foreign Courts, in which he declares that this
measure has been adopted solely in consequence
of the policy of Austria, and intimates pretty
clearly that he will not tolerate a purely Austrian
intervention in Italy."

The Paris correspondent of the Times (second
edition), in his letter dated yesterday, says :
"The only political question that just now ex-
cite a slight interest here, and is the subject of
some conjecture and conversation, is that of
Naples, concerning which various rumours have,
within the last two or three days, been current.
The report of an intention of sending a few men-
of-war to the Bay of Naples is unfounded, or at
least wholly premature ; but it is thought less
improbable that England and France may come to
a resolution of withdrawing their diplomatic re-

"Letters have been received from Grey-town,
mentioning the sudden appearance there of a com-
plete British squadron, consisting of 12 ships of
the line. The news seem causing quite a sena-
tion this afternoon, and I presume we shall have
it at full length in to-morrow's papers. It will,
doubtless, prove to be a mistake, or we should
have had telegraphic intelligence of it from Eng-
land."
