When they got clear Pink rowed away, but Blue caught

three lengths.

NAPLES.

The news that 13;ron de Hubner was charged
with a special mission from the Austrian Govern-
ment to the King of Naples, which has been very
much questioned, is now confirmed. A despatch
from Naples of August 17 announces that Baron
Hubner arrived there the evening before, and had
left for Gaeta to see the King.
A letter of the 11th inst. from Naples, in the
Correspondance, Italienne, says that on the 7th of

TEA.— The demand is very limited, and no change in
prices can be quoted.
SUGAR. - There has been a better demand for the finer
qualities, and full prices have been realised; inferior de-
scriptions have rulci dull at about former rates. The
quantity advertised for public sale duringthe week is very
limited. The refined market has been steady.
COFFEE.—The demand has improved, and Plantation
Ceylon ruled at firm rates. Native Ceylon realised pre-
vious prices, viz., 51s to 553 Gd.
RICE.—A fair business has been done in this article,
previous prices having been fully sustained for good cleaned
qualities. Patna brought 15s 6,1 to 17s Gd per cwt.
Rum.—There are no transactions to report in this article,
and prices are without material change.
TALLOW.—The market has been firmer, and the de-
liveries have also increased. P.Y.C., on the spot, brought
545, and last three months 51s 3d per cwt.

Another step in the preparations for establishing a
submarine telegraph between America and Europe has
just been completed. A month back the New York,
Newfoundland, and London Telegraph Company, by
whom the enterprise is undertaken, succeeded in laying
down a cable, manufactured by Kuper, and Co., of
London, from the northern point of Nova Scotia to Cape
Ra), Newfoundland, a distance of 85 miles, and this will
be extendeJ across Newfoundland to St. John's Bay,
whence the ocean distance to the west coast of Ireland
is 1,640 miles. Meanwhile the small steamer Arctic
was despatched by the United States' Government,
under the command of Captain N. H. Berryman, to
make soundings between these two points. She left
Newfoundland on the 31st of July, and was not expected
on this side until the first week in September, but her
arrival at Queenstown, Cork, took place on Saturday,
and she is said to have performed satisfactorily the
object of her voyage.
A deputation of Hungarian Protestants, who are en-
deavouring to enlist the sympathies of their co-religion-
ists in various parts of Germany, under the hardships to
which they are subjected by the Austrian Concordat, are
now at Berlin, and have bad an audience of the King.
The following appears in the Se. Petersburg journals
of the 17th :--" On the occasion of the rise in the price
of corn at St. Petersburg, the military governor-general
of the city informs the public that be will proceed to the
sale of the grain remaining in the ntagasins de reserve of
the capital, with a deduction of 10 per cent. in favour of
the poor and the retail dealerii in bread.':

SUSPECTED ROBBERY BY TWO YOUNG MEN. —CEr M-
OUS CASE.—Henry Banister, and John Arnold, two re-
spectable young men, were placed at the bar on a charge
of loitering about the terminus of the South• Eastern
Railway, London-bridge, for a felonious intention. Mr.
Lewis, jun., defended the prisoners.

Henry Mathams, a police-officer, in the service of the
Eastern Counties Railway Company, said—Yesterday
afternoon, about four o'clock, while passing along the
pavement to the London-bridge station of the South
Eastern Railway, be met the prisoners, and suspecting
them to be members of the swell mob he followed them
'tato Duko:§treet,: where one of them Raids
."It is all

right Mathams to tell you the truth, we have been up
there, but it was a - sight too hot for us." 'Witness
took them into custody, and removed them to the
terminus, where he found on .one of the prisoners a purse
containing one sovereign in gold, 30s. in silver, and a
silver watch. The property 'was supposed to have been
stolen from the pocket of one of the railway passengers
while leaving the station. The prisoners could not give
a satisfactory account of the money, &0,, found in their
possession, and witness fully believed that it had been
taken from some person.

Mr. Lewis contended that there was no case against
his clients, and hoped they would be di,:charged.
Mr. Combe (to Mathaues).—Da you know the pri.
Boners

Mathanas.—No, your worship ; but I understand
they are known by other officev, and if they wera to be
remanded for a few days they will be identified as mem-
bers of the swell mob.

Mr. Combo—Well, they seem to know you b'ettor than
you know them.

Mr. Lewis—The prisoner; were merely walking up
the incline to the railway station, and they ought not to
have been interrupted by the officer.
Mr. Edwin, the chief clerk, said the prisoners were on
private property, and the officer, if he suspected them
to be thieves, and that they were there for an unlawful
purpose, he was justified in detaining them.

Mr. Combe (to the prisoners)—l shall discharge you
this time ; but you have had a very narrow escape, and
for the future let me recommend you to go into a cooler
place or you will very soon got into trouble.
The prisoners were then discharged, and were soon
out of court without their purse and its contents, which
were handed over to Mathams the officer.

and in all probability the cemetery would be opened in
about a fortnight.

WORKS EXECUTED DURING THE YEAR.

Mr. Haywood (the engineer to the cemmissionere) laid
before the Court a long report. The following are extracts
from some of the most important points :
" The length of sewer within the City district is about
41:i miles. The works of under piercing and inverting the
Fleet sower were completed in the month of April. The
Tower dock outlet has been coutineed by an iron culvert
to below low-water lino in the river. The works for the
closing of the Preldlo•dock outlet have been completed,
and the whole of the sewage formerly discharged by that
sewer now diseharges by the Paul's-wharf millet. The
slaughter-houses and loeleing-housee continue the same in
number as last year." With respect to the smoke nuisance
the engineer observes—" It line been only found needful
to serve notice upon ono proprietor of furnaces during the
year- The consumption of smoke is indeed tolerably well'
effected within your jurisdiction as a whole, but there is
still room for amendment in some instances. The improve-
ments in the means of aceeepliebine this now deprive the
owners of furnaces, with few exceptions, of alleging as ex-
cuse that it cannot effectually be done. It may be a sub-
ject of vast satisfaction to your hon. commission that, as
the City of Lendoe was the first section of the metropolis
in which me sures for general sanitary improvements were
carried out, so also it was the first district in wlkich the
consumption of opaque smoke from furnaces was effected,
and that by you %ref 0 commenced tha measures for the
abetement of a nuisance of which the metropolis is now
greatly relieved, and which, from my own personal obser-
yation, I behave to have resulted in a perceptible ntd-sen-
sible improvement in the London atmosphere at all times
and seasons. With regard to the practice of intramural
interments within your jurisdiction, the last of the City
churchyards is now closed, the labours of the commission,
so far as they consist in providing a substitute for them,
aro approaching to a termination by the completion of the
City of London Cemetery at Ilford."
The report was ordered to be printed and circulated
among the members.

RUSSIA.

VIENNA, Feb. 23.—As the representatives of the
Powers are just about to decide on the all-impor-
tant question of peace or war, there could not be a
more fitting moment for communicating seine in-
formation respecting Russia that is contained in an
interesting, but marvellously ill-arranged article,
which has just proceeded from the pen of Baron
you Reden, a well-known writer on statistics and
political economy. The Imperial domains of Rus-
sia, he says, are about three times and a half
as large as the empire of France, and their
population consists of 8,825,958 males and
9,312,326 females. It has been calculated that
on an average 502 persons inhabit an area of five
English square miles. The services rendered to
the State by the 18,138,284 "domain peasants"
during the year 1853 were as follows :—Of the
8,825,958 males about 1,000,000 may be fit to ren-
der military service, but as the " conscription" in
1853 extended but to 5,500,000 males, only 55,263
soldiers were actually raised. If 10 able-bodied
men were taken from every 1,000 "souls" through-
out the whole of the European part of the Russian
empire, there ought to be about 150,000 recruits ;
but M. von Reden very justly remarks that the re-
sult of a general conscription is never what it ap-
pears to be on paper. In 1853 the gross revenue
from the State domains was 48,694,069 silver
roubles. The number of domain or Crown peasants
was 20,252,000 in 1843, but M. von Reden has
omitted to tell us why the population had within
10 years (between 1843 and 1853) decreased to
18,138,284 souls.

The half-yearly meeting of this company wag held yes-
terday at the London Tavern; Mr. W. Tite, M.P., in the
chair.
Mr. Harris, the secretary, read the report, which stated
that the traffic had shown an increase during the,past half-
year, as compared with the corresponding period of the
year 1851, equal to an average weekly increase of 614, or
3,1721. yearly, and the directors anticipate a continual and
gradual progress. After providing for the debenture and
loan interest, and the payment of office and other expenses
of the past half-year, the revenue sezonnt shows a balance
of 2,t 581. available for dividend ; and the directors recom-
mend that a dividend, at the rate of 11. 15s. per cent. per
annum, be declared on the stock of the company for the past
half-year, leaving a balance of 106/.
The report was unanimously adopted.

LINDON, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 185 G.

In another part of this day's impression will
be found a copy of the Royal Warrant appointing
a Beard of General Officare to inquire into the
statements contained in the Report of Sir JOHN
M`Nere and Colonel To-LT.Om, and the evidence
apiiended thereto, affecting certain officers on the
General Staff and others in the Army. As to
the parties implicated there need not be the
slightest reserve or mystery. They have cent-
plained of the accusations not preferred against
them by the Crimean C.unads3ioners, but found
to be fully and completely established. They
have demanded further inquiry, and to that they
were entitled, but not in the present form. It
should have been in ench a shape as would, in case
of conviction, have insured the punishment of
the offenders. A Court-martial or an impeachment
would have afforded the required opportunity,
of, at the same time, vindicating their charac-
ters—and public justice. If innocent, they would
have passed more triumphantly throagh the ordeal.
If guilty, the proceeding would not have been
altogether vain arr.' useless, for decided action
might have followed the verdict. The present
course, however, seems to be neither one thing
nor the other. It is simply giving an additional
chance to the accused, of evading the conse-
quences of their alleged misconduct. The vete-
ran Generals appointed to the task may be sup-
posed to regard, in. a more. favourable light, the
peccadilloes of officers of the highest rank and
aristocratic position. But another loophole is
kept open, in case they should prove as intract-
able as the members of the preceding commission.
They can only make a further report, or a report
which, so far as the public are concerned, will
merely be "to gild refined gold, to paint the
lily, or cast a perfume on the violet." In case
of its being adverse, there must be a further in-
veetigation. If otherwise, it will be at once
accepted as final and conclusive ; and Sir JOHN
WNEIL and Colonel TULLOCH will be sacrificed
as scapegoats, to shield the damaged reputation
of men of high rank and considerable political
influence.

It will be seen that the contemplated proceed-
ing is not an ordinary military inquiry, which
is invariably conducted secretly. It is to all in-
tents and purposes a Royal Commission, and,
therefore, may be conducted in such manner as
the Commissioners think proper. It has already
been stated, ex, cathedra, that it will be conducted
with open doors, and that the evil of secrecy will
be carefully avoided. This is, in one respect, as
it should be. It will give much greater weight
to the decision of the Generals, when the grounds
on which it is based shall also be before the public,
so that every man throughout the length and
have an opportunity o
breadth of the land may

THE DANUBE.

Several attempts have been made to blast the
rocks in the bed of the Danube at the so-called
" Iron Gate," but there is reason to fear that the
operations of the engineers have not been attended
with any great success. Major Dement, of the En-
gineers, has been sent to examine the Sulina mouth
of the Danube, and be is believed to have received
orders to draw up a plan for the removal of the
sand. The navigation of the Upper Danube has
undergone. a great improvement, for in future the
Bavarian steamers will transport goods direct to
Vienna and Pesth, and the vessels of the Austrian
Steam Company will take goods on to Passau, Rat-
isbon, Ar,c. In short, there will be no relading, as
has hitherto been the case.

AUSTRIA.

" We are assured," says a Vienna letter of the
23d, in the German Journal of Frankfort, " that
despatches have been received bore from Count
Buol, which express the fullest confidence that the
approaching conferences will be brought to a satis-
factory conclusion. It is said also in the diplomatic
circles of this city that the instructions to the
Russian plenipotentiaries leave them so much lati-
tude that it is scarcely possible for the conferences
to terminate without the desired result."

A letter from Vienna, in the Breslau Gazette,
says:—"The question of the Th
is inubian Principali-
ties one of the great difficulties of the conferences

of Paris. Three opinions are in presence—Austria
desires that the status quo he maintained ; Turkey
is in favour of the hereditary succession of the
Hospodars ; and the Western Powers think that
there ought to be only one hereditary prince under
the suzerainty of the Porte.'
There is to be a railroad congress here nex4
week, to which the Minister of Finance has invited
the representatives of the various forei4n com-
panies which have expressed .a desire to invest
their capital in Austrian, Austro-Italian, and
Hungarian railways. The Credit Bank will natu-
rally also be represented, as Baron Bruck never
neglects any opportunity of giving to that highly-
favoured establishment a chance of employing its
capital to advantage. The Credit Bank has taken
shares in the Empress Elizabeth or Vienna-Salz-
burg Railway to the amount of 20,000,000f1., but
the Administrative Council has resolved not to dis-
tribute more than 6,000,000f1. among the holders
of the Credit Bank shares. The proportion will be
one railroad share to 10 Credit Bank shares, but
such a high value is already attached to the former
that the latter have within the last 21 hours risen
some 12 per cent. The remaining Vienna Salz-
burg Railroad shares, to the amount of 14,000,000f1.,
will for the moment remain in the coffers of the
Credit Bank. It is stated that a syndicate is
to be formed by the grantees of the Vienna-
Salzburg Railroad and the Credit Bank, whose
duty it will be to see that the market is not
glutted with the 'shares. Soon after the Credit
Bank commenced its operations, the founders sold
almost all their shares at a profit of 12 to 15 per
cent. ; but many of them have been glad to pay a
remium of 50 per cent. in ordor to get them back
again. It is thought that Baron Bruck would do
well to endeavour to check rather than to encourage
the spirit of speculation which now prevails, or
rather rages, for if the peace conferences should
prove a failure there would be a regular financial
crisis here.
The shares of the Vienna-Linz Railroad Corn-
panyhave not yet been issued, but they are already
at 26 per cent. premium.

WORKS EXECUTED DURING THE YEAR.

Mr. Haywood (the engineer to the commissioners) laid
before the Court a long report. The following are extracts
from sonic of the most important points :
" The length of sewer within the City district is about
41A miles. The works of under-piercing and inverting the
Fleet sewer were completed in the month of April. The
Tower dock outlet has been continued by an iron culvert
to below low-water line in the river. The works for the
closing of the Puddle dock outlet have been completed,
and the whole of the sewage formerly discharged by that
sewer now discharges by the Paul's-wharf outlet. The
slaughter-houses and lodging-houses continuo the same in
number as last year." With respect to the smoke nuisance
the engineer observes—" It has been only found needful
to serve notice upon one proprietor of furnaces during the
year. The consumption of smoke is indeed tolerably well
effected within your jurisdiction as a whole, but there is
still roam for amendment in sorneinstances. The improve-
ments in the means of accomplishing this now deprive the
owners of furnaces, with few exceptions, of alleging as ex-
cuse that it cannot effectually be done. It may be a sub-
ject of vast satisfaction to your hon. commission that, as
the City. of London was the first section of the metropolis
in which measures for general sanitary improvements were
carried out, so also it was the first district in which the
consumption of opaque smoke from furnaces was effected,
and that by you were commenced the measures for the
ab am:tent of a nuisance of which the metropolis is now
greatly relieved, and which, from my own personal obser•
NT:llion, I believe to have resulted in a perceptible and sen-
sible improvement in the London atmosphere at. all times
and seasons. With regard to the practise of intramural
interments within your jurislictiou, the last of the City
churchyards is now closed, the labours of the commission,
so far as they consist in providing a substitute for them,
are approaching to a termination by the completion of the
City of London Cemetery at Itford."
The report was ordered to be printel and circulated
among the members.

yesterday at the London Tavern, Mr. Braginton in the
chair.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
explained that the line was opened in an incomplete state,
in order to keep faith with the public. and that conse-
quently the full rent would not be paid by the lessee for
some time after the openity, as the state of the roads at
that period would not admit of goods traffic.
