TOPLITZ, OCT. 2.

(From a Morning Paper.)
The inforniation I sent you yesterday I consider to be
most important, and calculated to give rise to many conso-
latory reflections on the part of our commercial and manu-
facturing interests, to whom the wide and rising market of
the East is opening like the new lode of a rich mine. The
Russian and Turkish question has always been argued in
England as one essentially between us and the Autocrat,
and the great interest which Austria has in the matter over-
looked or lightly touched upon ; and when the policy of
Vienna has been introduced, it was with the expectation
that a share in the spoils—the bribe of Servia or Bosnia—
would 'make it subservient to the views of its mighty and
grasping neighbour. A new light is, however, thrown on
the picture ; and, if what I have written be true, instead of
Austria lending her aid for any temporary remuneration to
the occupation of Turkey by the Czar, we have hereafter
to consider as the watchful and determined enemy of Russia
in that regard, and the willing and steady friend of Eng-
land... And it is still more gratifying to .know that while
the best understanding subsists between the great Northern
Powers, as. they are called, and that each are bound to sup-
port the other, and to maintain the present partition of
Europe, Russia has been made aware that any outbreak in
the direction of Constantinople would be considered as a
violation of the compact, and that a union of Austria, Eng-
land, and France—nay, of all Europe—against her would
be the consequence. . . . . .

Let it be remembered, when • Austria speaks it is with a
voice of thunder, and that her force, compared with that of
Russia, is at this hour as three to one. It would take
four months for Russia to collect an army of 100,000 men,
and then one-half would be rude, half-drilled levies, while
Austria has this day under arms no less 350,000 well-in-
structed and well-armed troops, before whom the savages of
the North would vanish like chaff before the wind, and
these could be concentrated in any point within four weeks.
I do not mean to say that any coldness has arisen between
Russia and Austria, and that the compact which subsisted.
between Nicholas and Francis has pot been renewed by Fer-
dinand ; and I should regret that my statement should be
be followed by so erroneous a conclusion. . The case I put
is altogether hypothetical, and if Russia keeps her faith,
Austria is still her ally and her friend. The policy of Rus-
sia is one of extension and conquest; it is written in their
archives, and each succeeding Monarch has a given part
prescribed for him to play ; but circumstances have com-
pelled Nicholas to abstain from touching the forbidden
fruit, and he personally, I am assured, •is not, or pretends
not to be, anxious to extend the empire. He is aware of
his internal weakness, and of the magnitude of the Powers
opposed, or likely to be opposed to him, and the late
camp at Kalisch, with the lavish waste of money, is regarded
as nothing better than a piece of juggling, intended to de-
ceive the world, and to cover his own barrenness. Those
troops did not consist of entire regiments, or entire batta-
lions, but of companies and squadrons, in order that it might
be said, if the whole regiment be like this specimen, what
an immense military force Russia ca4a pour out. But the
fact is likely rather to be that the squadron is all that ac-
tually exists, and that the numerical strength of the regi-
ment is on paper. And the calling forth these. savages
from the frontiers of Persia is a trick of the same order—
first, to make us believe
.that multitudes of similar troops
were at his command ; and, secondly, to give those tribes
an idea of what the far West to them was, so that, if re-
quired, their hungry brethren would be ready to come forth
for rapine and plunder. No one has been deceived by the
manoeuvre, and the troops are now ordered to go home ;
and after money spent, which can ill be spared by an over-
charged treasury, the only result that has been obtained is
the sermon preached in one or two of the Journals under
the control of Russia, who have taken their text from the
camp at Kalisch, and multiplied the Circassians and the
Kurds, as if they were the loaves and fishes for the multi-
tude. Therefore, whatever longir'r Russia may have for
war, this is not the period at which she will seek to indulge,
and the Emperor Nicholas has acquiesced most promptly,
and apparently most sincerely, in the pacific dispositions of
his Allies.

On Thursday, two gold chains purchased by a sub-
scription entered into by the ladies of Dewes were presented
to Mr. Kemp and Sir Charles Blunt, the representatives of
the Borough. The presentation took place at the Stag
Inn, and the hon. gentlemen acknowledged the honour con-
ferred on them in appropriate terms.—Brighton Guardian.

THE VOLUNTARY PRINCIPLE.-At a public
meeting held at the Cutler's-hall, Sheffield, on Monday,
the Rev. T. Sutton, vicar, in the chair, it was resolved to
build a new church in that crowded part of Sheffield called
the Park, and subscriptions to the amount of 1,000/. were
immediately put down,—Sfie,eld Mercury.
