AUSTRIA.

The Cologne Gazette publishes the following :
VIENNA, JAN. i .

Fresh instructions were sent off yesterday to
Count Esterhazy, and it is said that the question
of again mobilising a part of the army has been
mooted in a quarter from which there is no appeal.
It is certain that the late reduction is regarded as
an error in the military circles here, because the
necessity of recalling the men who were then dis-
banded ought to have been foreseen. As soon as
Russia's answer in the negative shall have ar-
rived the Government will publish a memoran-
dum on the present political situation, and it
will probably be accompanied by a manifesto
to the nation. At the same time, the East-
ern question will, it is surmised, have to be
discussed by the Diet, to be followed by a decisive
proclamation on the part of the German states
against Russia. The negotiations entered into
with the greatest number of the German states to
this end warrant, it is said, a favourable result.
In like manner the negotiations now pending be-
tween Austria and the Western Powers for the
final settlement of the measures that will have to
be taken in case Russia sends a refusal, are tending
to a most satisfactory issue.
cc It is known," says a letter from Vienna of the
7th, in Voss's Gazette of Berlin, " that most of the
German States have sent to St. Petersburg notes
recommending Russia to adopt a more conciliator),
policy, and representing to her the necessity of re-
establishing peace. The governments of Bavaria,
Saxony, Wurtemburg, Hanover, Baden, and Hesse
Darmstadt have communicated their notes to the
Cabinet of Vienna."

PRUSSIA.

The Danube of Vienna publishes the following,
under date of Berlin, Jan. 9 :
" It has been frequently stated that the relations of the
Prussian Cabinet with that of the !Tuileries were much
more satisfactory than those which it keeps up with the
Cabinet of St. James's. A fact which occurred lately proves
that the relations of Prussia with England are not what
might be wished. It appears that the Earl of Claren-
don, at an interview which Count de Bernstorff, the
Prussian Ambassador at London, had with him, com-
plained of the conduct pursued by Prussia in the Eastern
question. The Earl expressed himself very unequivocally
as to the pretended neutrality of Prussia ; he complained
that that power continued to supply Russia with large
quntities of warlike stores, and that the Prussian Govern-
, went, by tolerating such conduct, gave assistance to the
enemy of France and England. The Earl also expressed
his surprise that superior officers of the Prussian army
should have been present at the fete organised by the
Russian Ambassador to celebrate the surrender of
Kars ; and that the name of Kars should have been
used at a review at Berlin as a mot d'ordre, as if the
victory gained by the Russians was glorious for
the arms of Prussia. If England,' continued his
Lordship, does not see in all these facts so many demon-
, ,trations in favour of Russia, she cannot avoid remarking
the carelessness with which Prussia maintains her moral
co-operation. England will therefore find herself compelled
to adopt serious and even hostile measures, if the Cabinet
of Berlin does not change its attitude.' The Prussian
Ambassador addressed a confidential despatch to his Go-
vernment, in which be related in detail the result of his
interview. This despatch arrived at Berlin at the mo-
ment w hen M. de Manteuffel was in Lusatia, and he re-
turned to Berlin the instant he was informed of the re-
ceipt of it. A council of Ministers was assembled, under
the presidency of the King, and the communications
made by the Earl of Clarendon to the Prussian Ambas-
sador were the subject of a long discussion. Although
the declarations of England have produced a very deep
impression here, it does not appear that Prussia
makes any attempt to put an end to the acts of which the
English Minister complains. It is therefore considered
very possible that the Prussian ports in the Baltic will be
put in a state of blockade. The report theta French army
might be concentrated ou the Rhine has produced a very
great sensation ; and itwas at one time in contemplation to
interdict in Prussia the circulation of the Augsburg Gazette,
which was the first to publish the statement. It is kuowis
here, from a good source, that Sweden is making prepa-
rations for taking part in the great events of which the
Baltic will be the theatre next spring. The armaments
of Sweden and Norway are being pushed on very vigor-
ously."

RUSSIA.

ST: PEtERSBURG, Jan. 3.—The great council of
war is concluded, and from what has transpired on
the subject it appears that the Russian tactics for
the approaching campaign have undergone some
important modifications. Various orders sent off
from head-quarters would seem to indicate the re-
solution to abandon the Crimea altogether, for a
part of the troops are directed to march to the
Caucasus, to reinforce the corps of General Mou-
ravieff, whilst others have orders to join the
grand army of the centre, under General Pa-
mutine.
There can be no doubt that the Russians fully
expect that the principal theatre of war will be
transferred in the spring froiß,the South to the
Baltic, and preparations are making for a vigorous
defence of their line of coast. Notwithstanding
the extreme severity of the winter, orders have
been given for the immediate erection of a chain of
fortifications on be northern coast of the Gulf of '
Finland, extending from Abo up to `Vyborg. Be-
hind this line the crack troops are to be concen-
trated—namely, three divisions of the Imperial
Guard and the first infantry corps—so as to be
prepared to Rasta n the first shock that may be
made by the enemy in that quarter, with the view
of possibly marchi;ig to St. Petersburg.
The successor of Privy Councillor Labensky has
not yet been appointed.
Colonel Furuhjelm, formerly aide-de-camp of
General Bodisco, commandant of the Aland

cc Non, solltm, a calamitate, sed catamitatis meta,
tlefendewbon est." We adopt to the utmost ex-
tent the principle
thus laid down by LordOVER-
STONE, and are quite willing that the important
issue to be tried, the operation
with respect to
and efficacy of the Bank Charter Act of 1844,
should be submitted to this test. Should it be
found, after a stringent investigation, that the
so-called self-acting regulator of the Currency
averts all danger of unfounded panic—if it effec-
tually prevent the alarm, distress, and confusion
which we believe to be inseparable from a circu-
lating medium, exercising the double function of
currency and merchandise, a stronger case would
be established on behalf of the Act than any
hitherto adduced. But unfortunately all the
evidence that has hitherto been obtained on
the subject incontestably proves that, so far
from that being the case, it operates in a
otally different direction, and tends to produce

" NO. 1.-THE STOMACH.

" The coats were firm and well preserved, considering
the length of interment. Externally they presented nothing
remarkable, except a slight yellow streak near the greater
end. This had the appearance of mineral matter in the
coats, such as might be produced by arsenic or antimony
on the inside of the stomach. When the stomach was
opened a highly offensive gas escaped. There was no
liquid or solid contents, but a thin pasty-looking substance
of a coffee-brown colour, was spread over the whole of the
lining membrane. The whole quantity of this pasty mat-
ter on the surface of the stomach was estimated at about
half a teaspoonful. The lining membrane presented slight
patches of redness; but there was no ulceration, perfora-
tion, or organic disease of the stomach.
" NO. 2.—LARGE AND SMALL INTESTINES.

" The duodendum, part of the ileum, cee,min, and rectum
or lower bowel, were examined. They presented no appear-
ance of disease. The small intestines were empty, but co-
♦ered on the inside with a thin brownish-coloured substance.
The inner coat of the rectum, or lower bowel, was covered
with a deep orange-red substance closely adhering to it. On
removing this substance there was no appearance of ulcera-
tion on the surface, or of any disease. The intestines were,
comparatively speaking, well preserved, like the stomach.
"The kidney enclosed in this jar was minutely examined,
and found to be quite healthy.
" No. 3. —THE LIVER, LUNGS, HEART, AND SPLEEN.
" These organs were found to be in a hellthy condition.
They had undergone some changes as the results of putre-
faction. The gall bladder contained bile, which was thick-
ened to the consistency of a brown paste. The cavities of
the heart were empty ; the valves were firm and free from
disease. The longs and spleen were softened from putre-
faction, but they presented no appearance of disease.

" WANDERING WILLIE."

A cracked Scotchman arrived at Constantinople a
short time ago, with a passport vis6cl "Ben pour la
Chine." He came fram Calais on foot, and intended
to continue his pedestrian journey to China. He
waited upon the Consul-General, and requested hint
to tell him where he could find a lodging,
not one of the stylish hotels, be said, but in
some decent place. The Consul sent him to the
place where he lodges distressed English sailors. The
poor fellow called at the residence of the Grand Vizir,
and left his card, stating that the Sultan would pro-
bably send for him, as there was a family connection be-
tween them. He had also, he added, relations in Persia.
The poor fellow, mad as ho was, recollected the names
of all the places through which he had passed, and
was sharp altogether. He has not since been heard
of, and it is supposed that he must have perished on
the road, or may probably have taken a fancy to go
elsewhere. A case similar to this occurred some months
ago. All the British residents at Constantinople were
teased to death by an Englishman named Hun-
ter, who for many years had been employed by
a London journal as correspondent. The poor
fellow had travelled over the whole of Europe and
Asia. His mania was that he had large sums of
money to receive from all who bestowed charity on him.
He was last met playing "God save the Queen" on a
penny whistle in some out of the way place. Another case
occurred in J une,1854, when an Irish priest, who had been
to do penance at the Holy Shrine at Jerusalem, arrived
here. He bad travelled all the way from England
to the Holy Land and back again here on foot, and
without once changing his clothes ; consequently be
smelt like a polecat. The Consul-General, desirous
of sending him horse, could not prevail upon any
captain to take him, At last it was agreed that
he should be forcibly stripped of his old clothes
and washed. To convert him to this decision re-
quired a great deal of persuasion and even threats.
Finally he was taken alongside a brig where he was
stripped. Sailors' clothes were banded to him and his
monkish garb thrown away. From the time he left Eng-
land he had always gone on foot and begged his way.

:" Non sauna a calamitate, sed ealamitatis metu,

We adopt to the utmost ex-
feat, the principle thus laid down by Lord 0 LER-
3TONE, and are quite willing that the important
131110 to be tried, with respect to the operation
and efficacy of the Rink Charter Act of 1844,
should be submitted to this test. Should it be
found, after a stringent investigation, that the
so-called self-acting regulator of the Currency
averts all danger of unfounded panic—if it effec-
tually prevent the alarm, distress, and confusion
which we believe to be inseparable from a circu-
lating medium, exercising the double function of
currency and merchandise, a stronger case would
be established on behalf of the Act than any
hitherto adduced. But unfortunately all the
evidence that has hitherto been obtained on
the subject incontestably proves that, so far
from that being the case, it operates in. a
otitis, different direction, and tends to produce

THE DASHING AFFAIR AT KRRTCH.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN.

Sin,—l trust it may not be considered immodest in a
countryman to distinguish through your columns the
! gallant hero of this brilliant exploit from the many offi-
cers both in the British and Indian army bearing th
same name, as well as following the example of the ad-
mirers of the late Captain Dymock, who was killed at the
passage of the Ingour. Major Macdonald is only son of
the late Dr. Macdonald, of Inverness, and descended ma-
ternally from the Camerons of Clunes, of the same county.
He belongs to the Indian cavalry, and only arrived in
England in spring last, after 21 years' uninterrupted
service ; and scarcely bad he made the round of visits to
his relatives when he volunteered to serve in the Turkish
Contingent. He has been engaged in many of the In-
dian battles, where his gallantry was equally conspicuous,
and always honourably mentioned in despatches—
although, be it observed, General Vivian merely alludes
to him in the despatch of this affair as " the officer who
commanded the detachment." Is it because he is a
Sepoy officer ? An insertion will much oblige your
obedient, J. C. MP.

",Dr. ricklord is known to English readers by his frequent practi-

THE DANUBE.

A letter from Vienna, of the 15th, in the Post
Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, says :

" Our Government is taking measures calculated
to remove the old obstructions to the free 'naviga-
tion of the Lower Danube. Thus, for instance, it
has bought a steamer at Constantinople for the service
of the mouth of the Salina, and a kind of raft is attached
to this vessel for the removal from time to time of the
mud and -sand that deposit there. M. Lava, an expe-
rienced captain of the merchant service, has been ap-
pointed captain of the port at Sutina, where a war
steamer, with a strong detachment of marines on board,
has been permanently stationed for seine time past for
the maintenance of public order. The company for the
navigation of the Danube intends to carry its traffic to
the very nieuth of the river, and is now building
five screw steamers for the conveyance of goods and
corn along the Lower Danube. Last year the company
possessed 80 paddle and screw steamers, forming a total
of 10,026-horse power, besides 268 transport vessels,
&c., making an aggregate of 9,000 tons. Since then
there has been a considerable increase, and the com-
pany now possesses 112 steamers, representing a total of
11,391-horsepower, and 405 iron transports, showing a
grand total of 120,000 tens, without counting 25 Yes-
AOIS for the conveyance of pigs, 19 colliers, and a quan-
tity of smaller craft besides."

TEE BLOCKADE IN TEE BALTIC.

Captain Watson's advance squadron left Kiel on
the sth inst., and were off Moen Head on the fol-
lowing morning ; but, as the wind blew hard from
the east, Captain Watson determined on not wasting
coal by forcing the squaeircin against it. Her -Ma-
jesty's ship Pylades, 21, Captain D'Eyncourt
Sampson, 6, Captain Hand ; Falcon, 17, Commander
Pullen ; and Harier, 17, Commander Derriman, had
anchored under Moen Head the night before, and
were,compelled to get under way when the wind
shifted. On the Imperiense, 51, Captain Watson,
C. 8., meeting these ships, they all stearaed to the
northward, and anchored north-west of Falsterbo
Lighthouse, where they remained until the wind
abated, which it did in about three hours after they
anchored, when they all left, and, steering to the
eastward, passed Bornbolme on Friday morning,
reached the south end of Deland about noon, off
which they passed through immense fields of loose
ice ; continuing on, they passed the south end of
Gothland at midnight, arrived at Faro on Satur-
day morning at 9, and found the inner harbour
completely frozen over, and great quantities of loose
ice in the outer. On the 12th the Euryalus, 51,
Capt. Ramsay, C. 8., joined them, last from Kiel ;
she arrived in a snowstorm, and anchored near the
Imperieuse, and only about 200 yards from her
Captain Ramsay was nearly half an hour in cutting
his way through the ice in one of his boats to repot t
his arrival. The squadron would weigh in a day
or two, and cruise further.

TURKEY.

The last acoounts from Constantinople state the
weather was very tempestuous, and that the packet
from the Crimea had not arrived. Snow was three
feet deep at Constantinople. The Journal de Con-
stantinople strongly insists on the delimitation of
the Russian Transcaucasian frontiers. The Arme-
nians and the Greeks have protested against the
late Hatti Scheriff ; the Greek petition, in parti-
cular, is directed against the clauses of the docu-
ment relative to the clergy. Ismail Pacha, who
commands in Roumelia, takes the command of the
Turkish troops at Erzeroum. The Austrian Go-
vernment has decorated several Turkish civil func-
tionaries. Among them are Affif and Noureddin,
attaches to the Ottoman Embassy in Paris. The
Anglo-Italian Legion have arrived at Malta.
