Advices from Constantinople of the sth announce
the arrival of 400 refugees from Shumla. They have
good quarters at Kouleli in the extensive buildings at
present employed as the quarantine establishment.
An Austrian vessel has been freighted to convey
them to Liverpool, from whence they proceed to
the United States.

It appears that CRAIYAS had been driven to em-
brace Islamism in consequence of the withdrawal of
French protection. For seventeen years he has been
acting as Polish agent in Constantinople, and the
Russian Ambassador has frequently demanded his
expulsion, but as CHADCAS was under French pro-
tection their demands were of no avail. Applications
were frequently made to Louis PHILIPPE to
withdraw the protection, and as invariably refused ;
no sooner, however, was General LAHITTB installed
into power than he hastened to obey the behests of
the AUTOCEAT, and, with an alacrity which will no
doubt stand him in good stead at St. Petersburgh
some day or other, withdrew French protection from
CaerscAs and others, and thus forcing him to embrace
Islamism, as his only means of escaping the tender
mercies of the Cossacks.

Letters from Rome state that the POPE has con-
sented to the plan proposed by the Tuscan and Aus.
trian Governments for a junction at Bologna of the
Tuscan and Austro-Lombard lines of railway. It is
said that a postal convention between Tuscany and
France will shortly be ratified.
The telegraph from Vienna to Verona, Trieste,
Goritz, and Venice was opened on the 3d inst., and
thus a telegraphic correspondence can be established
extending to Amsterdam, Brussels, London, and
Paris respectively.

In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies at Turin,

THE CORPORATION PROPOSAL FOR THE NEW
SMITHFIELD MARAET.—During the last few days our readers
have undoubtedly noticed a small building in a course of
erection at the extreme western point of Cheapside. That
small spot is intended to enclose the model of the newly
proposed market for live cattle, as suggested by the " Mar.
kets Improvements Committee" connected with the Corpora-
tion of the city of London. The site upon which the build-
irig stands has been let to the members of the " Central

111nrkets Association" by the "City Lands Committee," for
the above purpose. In the course of a few clays the " ex-
hibition of the model" will be opened gratuitously to the
public, and information respecting the same will be fur-
nished daily to those of the public who may choose to view
it. Parties unacquainted with the corporate proposal will,
consequently, have an opportunity
of judging for them-
selves as to the value of the proposal on the part of the
Corporation, and as to the comparative merits of any other
site for a " central market," as suggested by Royal Com-
mission.

ACCIDENT TO LORD SHERBORNE.-A serious acci-
dent to Lord Sherborne occurred on Tueiday, which, it is
said, will have the effect of confining his Lordship to his bed
for many weeks. His Lordship, it appears, was out riding
over his estates with a party of ladies and gentlemen, mem-
bers of his family, when coming to a gate fenced with thorns,
being at the time in advance of his party, he attempted to
open it. The horse's nose being by this effort brought into
contact with the thorns, he sprang suddenly backwards and
threw his rider over his head, the fall occasioning a fracture
and dislocation of the hip. Surgical aid was procured as
speedily as possible, but on examination the injury sustained
was found to be of a very serious character.— Cheltenham
