ters from Bucharest of the 18th ult. The Com.
mander-in-Chief of the Turkish troops has been
instructed to evacuate the Principalities with the
troops under his command, and to withdraw across
the Danube. The Turkish regiments are to leave
at the same time with the Russian troops, but
they are instructed to take concentrated positions in
the forts along the right bank of the Danube, and to
hold themselves in readiness to re-occupy the Prin

THEATRE ROYAL DRURY-LANE.
Katherine and Pets uchio was p.rtorased here last
evening, with Mr. Andeiscn as Petruchio, and Miss
F. Vining as Katherine, and never have we seen the
Taming of the Shrew go off with greater spirit and effect.
The other characters were all admirably sustained.
partioutcsrly that of Bianca by Miss J. Bleaden, who
made a great deal of a small part. The grand spectacle
of Azge/ followed. This magnificent drama seems to
incree,*e in attraction every evening; last evening the
enthusiasm of the audience was intense, and the applause
was rapturous. The house was crowded to suffocation.

ARRIVAL OF ANOTHER FOREIGN REFORMER.—We
understand that Rouge, who created so great a sensation in
Germany some years ago, and who, from the boldness with
which he advocated a second Reformation, after leaving the
mish Church, in which he was a priest, was designated
the second Luther, bas arrived in London, and is about to
give a series of lectures in the same place, and on essentially
the same subjects as Father Gavazzi. Rouge, however, is
not likely to excite the same interest as Father Gavazzi,
because, while the latter is approximating to evangelical
views on religious questions, the former has lapsed into Ger-
man Neology, which is but another name for Deism. So
long a 3 be was regarded as a really religious reformer, he
produced a great sensation in every part of Germany which
be visited, but when he embraced the infidelity of i eologV.
or Rationalism, he lost all his influence on the minds of his
countrymen, and, if we mistake not, quitted Germany some
years ago for America. The ssme causes, we presume, will
prevent his attracting the attention in England which Father
Gavazzi is now doing.—Advertiser.

to receive tha answer of the Board of Trade to the memorial

the grievances complained of under the Mercantile Marine
Act. It appeared al.-a, though an answer had been pro-
mised. none had been sent, and consequently a good deal of
dissatisfaction was felt. Mr. John Kavanagh proposed,
" that the seamen of the port of London shall not go near a
ship or shipping office until the Board of Trade return an
answer to their memorial." Mr. Riddles conded the mo-
tion. The Chairman then pat the resolution, when a forest
of banes was hell up in its favour, and it was declared to be
passed unanimously. The strike, therefore, will commence
ibis dr3y (Saturday).
