THE WAR WITH PERSIA.

VIENNA, Nov. 11.
Intelligence to the 17th ult. has been received
here from Bombay.

The preparations for the expedition against the
Persian Gnlf still went on with activity.
It was believed that Herat had fallen.

The Vienna correspondent of the Times (second
edition), dated Nov. 9, says :
" The article in the Moniton- of the 7th has
produced a favourable impression on the moneyed
world, but professional politicians have not failed
to observe that the official explanation is addressed
exclusively to England. No mention whatever is
made cf Austria, and the Ost-Deutsche Post accounts
for the omission by
saying—that as it, waa the
wish of Napoleon to dispel the storm which was
brewing in England, it was but natural that the
official writer should speak only of the English
alliance. Now it appears to me that this expla-
nation is unsatisfactory, for the avowed object of
the article in the Monitotr is to remove the
unpleasant impression produced by the recen t
leader in the Constitutionnel, which contained
as direct an attack on the policy of Austria
as on that of England. As long as Austria
entirely approved of the policy of France in the
Eastern question there was the best possible
understanding between the two Governments ;
but since Count Buol has expressed his resolve
not to permit Russia to evade the solemn en-
gagements which she entered into on the 30th
of last March, Count Walevreki has thought fit
to imitate Prince Gortschakoff, and to treat
this Cabinet somewhat cavalierly. For rea-
sons which it is unnecessary to specify, Austria
must ardently desire to remain on friendly terms

hoped the two Governments will not permit any
matters of inferior moment to
disturb the good
understanding which at t
presen prevails between
them. There can be but scant sympathy between
constitutional and Protestant England and abso-

rests are just at present one and the same, and no
political cement is more binding than ceurnunitv
of interests.

" On the 30th of October the St. Jean d'Acre,
Cressy, and Retribution entered the Bosphorus.
The Colossus, Otesar, and other ships were ex-
pected, and it was believed that the whole of the
British fleet would pass the winter at ,Constanti-
nople. The Sultan has not only informed the
Divan that the stay of the British fleet in the
Black. Sea is necessary, but that he takes the
entire responsibility on himself.'

THE CHIEF JUSTICESHIP OF THE

COMMON PLEAS.

The Chief Justiceship of the Common Pleas is at
length settled. The Attorney-General takes the
seat on the bench, with a peerage either immediate
or prospective. The Solicitor-General, of course,
becomes, by this promotion, Attorney-General.
The Solicitor-Generalship has, we believe, been
offered to the Recorder of London, Mr. Stuart
Wortley. If he declines this offer, which was due
to his professional position and to his House of
Commons standing, Mr. Sergeant Shee will, it is
understood, be the Solicitor-General. Vacancies
for Aylesbury and for the county of Kilkenny
would thus be made, but no opposition could suc-
cessfully be offered to the return of either Sir R.
Bethel! or Mr. Sergeant Shea. For Southampton
it was expected that Captain Mangles would have
come forward, but he declines. The seat is safe
for a good Liberal, and the electors of Southamp-
ton care quite alive to secure his return.

THE JAMES BAINES.

The following letter ha, been addressed to the editor
of the Timm :

Sir,—We observe in your city article of today the
following remarks relative to the above ship :
" No new policies have yet been written at Lloyd's on
the James Baines in consequence of her detention, but if
it were sought to do so high rates would be demanded.
It is hoped that the present uneasiness will operate as P.
caution to the Melbourne shippers for the future against
sending such a total as 700,0001. in a sailing ship, and
especially in one not remarkable for sailing qualities."
New, we are satisfied these remarks merely arise
from your not having been acquainted with the
previous performances of this ship, and we are sure that
you will do the commander and owners the justice to
give publicity to the following facts, which we think
will speak for themselves.
The James Barnes was built at Boston, United States,
and arrived here the 25th September, 1854, and is now
due off her third voyage to Melbourne and back since the
911 December of that year. Her first passage was made
from Boston to Liverpool in 121 days ; next, Liverpool to
Melbourne, 63i days ; Melbourne to Liverpool, same
voyage, 69 days ; sailing time out and home, 1321 days.
None of these passages have ever been equalled by any
ship in the world. The James Baines's longest passage
to Melbourne was accomplished in 79 days (arriving the
day after the mail ship that sailed a fortnight before her),
although with loss of mainyard and almost an entire
suit of sails.

With respect to her present long passage home, you
are probably not aware that the last two London ships
that arrived from Australia were respectively 141 and
100 days, one of them being the celebrated Aberdeen
clipper Star of Peace, and that the Aberdeen clipper
Phoenician, which sailed 13 days before the James
Baines, has not yet arrived.
It may also tend to dissipate any alarm about the de-
tention of the James Baines that Captain Green, of the
steamer Bahiana, just arrived from the Cape, reports that
duri❑g his passage from the line he had a succession of
east winds and calms, and that the set of the ocean
showed that these had prevailed for a considerable time
previously.—We are, yours respectfully,
Liverpool, Nov. 12. JAMES BAINES & Co.

A charming title to a charming set of Quadrille!

popular the already acceptable name of the yOOl
and indefatigable composer of the " Maclaine" on,
" Luciana" Polkas, of the "Eglantine" and "iirl,c/i

ballads (two of which have been recently noti'
favourably by ourselves), and of a companion Ply:
of dance-music to this, the latest of his effusionthe "Valerie Quadrilles." The "set" before 11

the gentle and loving little spirit whose name it

from Boston to Liverpool in 12x days ; next, Liverpool to
Melbourne, 63i days ; Melbourne to Liverpool, same
voyage, 69 days ; sailing time out and home, 182 i days.
None of these passages have ever been equalled by any
ship in the world. The James Baines's longest passage
to Melbourne was accomplished in Y 9 days (arriving the
day after the mail ship that sailed a fortnight before her),
although with loss of ruainyard and almost an entire
suit of sails.

With respect to her present long passage home, you
are probably not aware that the last two London ships
that arrived from Australia were respectively 141 and
100 days, one of them being the celebrated Aberdeen
clipper Star of Peace, and that the Aberdeen clipper
Phoenician, which sailed 13 days before the James
Baines, has not yet arrived.
It may also tend to dissipate any alarm about the de.
tention of the James Baines that Captain Green, of the
steamer Bahiana, just arrived from the Cape, reports that
during his passage from the line he had a succession of
east winds and calms, and that the set of the ocean
showed that these had prevailed for a considerable time
previously.—We are, yours respectfully,

PRUSSIA IigNEUCHATEL.

The resolutions adopted by the Germanic Diet
in reference to the Neuchatel affair were couched
in the following terms :
"1. Lo adhere to the principles expressed in the
Protocol of London of the 24th May, 1852, regu-
lating the position of the Principality of Neu-
chatel.
"2. To request the German Governments. hav-
ing diplomatic agents accredited to the Helvetic
Confederation, to support, in the name of the en-
tire Germanic Confederation, the setting at liberty,
as demanded by the Prussian Government, of the
Neuchatelese arrested in September, urging the
considerations enounced in the_report of the Com-

mittee, and upho•ding to the Swiss Government,
with all possible emphasis, the steps that may be
taken for that purpose by the government of
Prussia."
These resolutions are to be immediately commu-,
nicated officially to the Swiss Federal. Government
by the German representatives accredited to Berne.

THE WAR WITH PERSIA.

VIENNA, Nov. 11.
Intelligence to the 17th ult. has been received
here from Bombay.

The preparations for the expedition against the
Persian Gulf still went on with activity.
It was believed that Herat had fallen.

The Vienna correspondent of the Times (second
edition), dated Nov. 9, says :
" The article in the Moniteur of the 7th has
produced a favourable impression on the moneyed
world, but professional politicians have not failed
to observe that the official explanation is addressed
exclusively to England. No mention whatever is
made of Austria, and the Ost-Deutsche Post accounts
for the omission by saying—that as it was the
wish of Napoleon to dispel the storm which was
brewing in England, it was but natural that the
official writer should speak only of the English
alliance. Now it appears to me that this expla-
nation is unsatisfactory, for the avowed object of
the article in the Moniteur is to remove the
unpleasant impression produced by the recent
leader in the Constitutionnel, which contained
as direct an attack on the policy of Austria
as on that of England. As long as Austria
entirely approved of the policy of France in the
Eastern question there was the best possible
understanding between the two Governments ;
but since Count Buol has expressed his resolve
not to permit Russia to evade the solemn en-
gagements which she entered into on the 30th
of last March, Count Viralewski has thought fit

Principalities until Russia has ceded Bolgrad and
entirely withdrawn her troops from the Lower
Danube. It is ss absolutely necessary that England
and Austria should hold firmly
together at the
present critical moment, that it is sincerely to be
hoped the two Governments will not p •
ermit any
matters of inferior moment to
disturb the good
understanding selich at

them. There can be but scant sympathy between

STEALING A WATCH, CHAIN, & ;.—Peer Theodor
Ginessen was placed at the bar, on /remand, charged
with stealing a silver gilt watch, 2 soi nt.reigns, and 104.
in silver, the property of another foreigner oaxted
Zacharia.

The particulars of the case have been a:lready published
in The Sun, and it will no doubt be re, fleeted that the
prisoner and prosecutor were both stFaiing at the Blue
Pig, St. Mary-axe, and slept in the same room, from
which place the property was stolen. The watch and
chain were found wrapped up in a pocl zct handkerchief
on the roof of a house opposite the Blue Pig.
The parties are strangers. The proi.eimtor took corn-
passion on the prisoners on account of them both being
Germans, and the latter returned his gratitude by
robbing his friend.
There being no proof to whom the handkerchief be-
longed, and the evidence being so purely circumstantial,
The Lord Mayor, under the circumstances, ordered
the watch and chain to be restored to the prosecutor,
and the prisoner to be discharged.
r;i:he prisoner was accordingly discharged.

LIVERPOOL—AUGUST 8.
We have only limited quantities of grain, &c., to "hand
the last three days, the exports at samo time nearly equal-
ing them • but we have to report the first arrive 1, per
steamer, of the American new crop of wheat, whit has
bean sold—white, at 103 6d, and red, at 10s 3d per 70111.
The trade has been without change since last market day,
except a stronger demand for Indian corn. The de, :line
at our Tuesday's market has attracted several millers actd
dealers this way seeking bargains, and where holders wo ,u 1 d
submit to that day's prices a lair business was practical ale •
Tn some instances, however, reactiva of 2d to 3d prx
bushel on wheat was obtained. Indian corn in good de -
mend for milling and feeding purposes, and prices a trifle
better. All other articles moderately dealt in at the low:.
figures of last market day.

FELONY.

TV:lliatrt Ildme, 39, was indicted for feloniously plac•
ing stones on the Preston and Longridge Railway, with
intent, &r., on the 16th April, 1856.
Mr. A. Cross prosecuted ; and the prisoner was de-
fended by Mr. Monk.
The prisoner was employed as watchman at a reser-
voir of the Preston Water Works, constructed near the
Grimsargh station of the Preston and Longridge Rail way.
On the 16th Apttil the prisoner was met on a line of rail-
way by a plate layer named William Moat, who ordered
him off, and, after some opposition, he went away, say-
ing it would be more out of the company's road. TINA
same night a train which was returning from Langridge
at about 11 o'c:ock at night, when near the Grimsargh
station, was thrown off the line by some ntone3 which
had been placed on the metals, causing the breaking of
the axle of the tender. A person who was on the ten-
der at the time swore that he saw the prisoner at a gate
near the place where the stoppage took place, and as the
night was moonlight, but overcast, he could swear to him
most positively. Some stones were produce] which
had been taken off the metals and shown to resemble
some which were found near the prisoner's box.
His Lordship was not satisfied with the evidence, and
stopped the case as Mr. Moak was about to address the
jury, and directed an acquittal of the prisoner.

NEW NAVAL NOVEL, BY SIR E. BELCHER.
Now ready, at all the libraries, in 3 vols.,
JJORATIO HOWARD BRENTON.
By Captain Sir EDWARD BELCHER, R.N., C. &c.
" Capt. Belcher assures his readers that the plot and circumstances
of the novel are draws from the life, and that they refer to the career
of one whom some of the greatest men of the past generation were
proud to call their friend. In his own words, it is a biography, and
yet a novel—a romarce, but a true one. There is much of that
sound professional information in the novel, which romance readers
do not usually meet with. It is also interesting as a story, and can
be cordially recommended to public favour as a genuine naval novel."

GUILDHALL.

lionsE STEALING—A respectably dressed man, named
Marks, was placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman
°Willis, charged with obtaining a horm under the fol-
low ing circumstances.

Mr. Wontner appeared for the prosecution.

It appeared from the evidence, that the prisoner, on
Wednesday last, went to the Horse Repository,
Barbican, and there saw Mr. Gower, to whom The
represented himself as a cab proprietor, having three
cabs; and four horses. He also called Mr. Gower's
attention to his having had former transactions with
him.. He mid he was a cab proprietor, 63, Ponsouby-
place, Vauxhall, and had lost a horse the previous
night. The prisoner looked round the stables, selected
a horse, tried it, and purchased it. On the presumption
that the prisoner was a cab proprietor he was allowed to
take the horse
,on giving his bill. It was afterwards

found that the prisoner's statement was false, and on his
apprehension by Hayden be admitted it, and said ho was
driven to it by distress, and had sold the horse.
The prisoner was then committed for trial.

14R. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-
! v street, has introduced an entirely new description of ARTI-
FICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from
he original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or
decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
l'his method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful
operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth
rendered sound and useful in mastication.--52, Fleet-street. At
home from ten till five.

MAN SL AU G HTER.

John Moore, 33, was indicted for killing and slaying
Geo. Beckworth, at Lower Hulker.
Mr. Aston prosecuted ; and the prisoner was defended
by Mr. Monk.
The evidence was to the effect that, on the 30th June,
at Thomas Halls, Flookburgla, some men had been drink-
ing, and a fight took place between a brother of the pri•
soner and a person. named Stephenson. An attempt was
made to part them by the deceased, but during the con-
tinuance of the scuffle the prisoner went up, and struck
the deceased behind the ear with a strickle. He was taken
borne about 6 o'clock, and died at 3 the following morn-
ing. A post mortem examination was afterwards made
by Mr. Fisher, surgeon, of C4rtnael, who said his death
was c2-used by c nnpression of the brain, by the effasmn
of an artery, caused by a fracture of the skull. It was
stated by one of the witnesses, that just preyious to the
unfortunate blow the prisoner was seen on the ground
with his nose bleeding.
Mr. Monk called witnesses, who gave the prisoner a
most excellent character.

Hip Lordship summed up very carefully, and the jury,
after some consideration, found him guilty, but with a
strong recommendation to mercy.
His Lordship sentenced him to three months' impri-
sonment.
