AUSTRIA•

VIENNA, Nov. 24.

The recent concentration of Turkish Troops on the
right bank of the Danube has given rise to so many
reports that it may bet well to give the following
reliable inforraat on which has been received on
the subject. The Porte, being aware that there
is a violent political ferment in all those pro-
vinces which are inhabited by people of Roumanic
and Eclavonic origin, has considered it necessary
to place troops en, echelon, between Silistria
and Widin. The report that the Turkish Govern-
ment has communicated to the great Powers its
resolve to occupy Wallachia and Moldavia if there
should be any disturbances in those provinces is
incorrect, but it is probable that it has inquired
what steps are to be taken if excesses on the
yart of the revolutionary faction should ren-
der intervention necessary. The statement of
the Nord, that there is a secret understand
ing bctween the Austrian Govel nment and the
Radicals in the Danubian Principalities greatly
amuscs the Vienna diplomatists, who well know that
the Imperial Cabinet has never ceased to reproach
the Porte for having permitted such a host of poli-
tical refugees to return to Moldavia and Wallachia.
the assertion that the Austrian commanders in Trail-
vataia and in the Servian Banat have received
orders to cross the frontiers if there should be any
disturbances in the Danubian Principalities is also
pure iuvei:tion. This Government, which ardently
desires that the conditions of the `Treatyof March
•)'()bliould he fulfilled to the letter, is not likely to

forget that its 27th Article runs thus :... " If the in-
ternal repose of the Principalities should be menaced
or compromised, the Sublime Porte will come to an
agreement with (s'enterdra avec)the other contracting
Powers respecting the measures to be taken for main-
taining er re-establishing legal order. An armed
intervention cannot take place without a previous
agreement between the Powers." Unfort inately,
some of the Articles in the Treaty of Paris are
very loosely worded, but it is impossible to mistake
the sense of the foregoing. According to private
advices from Belgrade considerable moral pressure
was employed by France and Russia before Prince
Alexander of Servia consented to commute the sen-
tence of death passed upon the conspirators into
imprisonment for life. The French and Russian
Cousuls-General at Belgrade assured their superiors
at Constantinope that the execution of the Sena-
tors would be a violation of the Constitutio pro-
claimed at Belgrade on the 24th of February, 1839,
and therefore the Porte was worried and teazed
until it consented to desire the Hospodar to spare
the lives of the men who had plotted against him
and his Government. Prince Alexander probably
received a hint of what was doing at Constanti-
nople, for he had commuted the sentence of the
conspirators before the instructions of the Porte
reached Belgrade.

Accounts from St. Petersburg represent that a
strong feeling is springing up among the Russian
landholders against the emancipation of the serfs,
and that the Czar, who is understood to bo firmly
bent on it, will find difficulties he is at present
little prepared for.

AUSTRALIA.

(From the Sydney Empire of Sept. 10.)

Our gold-fields are progressing steadily, except
in localities where the floos have interfered with
the operations of the digger. No new discoveries
have been made, but the yield has been main-
tained.

A gentleman from Adelong called upon us
yesterday with specimens of the quartz from
that place. He describes the quartz reef
as being more than two miles long, and
richly impregnated with gold throughout. He
says that Belman's party had excavated at
the time he left upwards of 100 tons of quartz of
an average richness with the specimens he pro-,
duoel, every piece of which was interfuse with
the precious metal. The loose washing stuff ob-
tained alongside of the reef yielded about 16 oz. to
the cart-load.

The population at our diggings still remains re-
markably orderly, though a deep conviction is ge-
nerally felt that the Lining interest has been little
cared for by the Government.
About the middle of July a mob of some 50 or
60 miners, at the Buckland diggings, within the
oolony of Victoria, but close to our own border,
after meeting to consider the matter, forcibly ex-
pelledthe Chinese, numbering many hundreds, from
the groand. It was estimated that property be-
longing to the Chinese of the value of 8,000/. to
10,0001. was destroyed. The tents were all burned,
and considerable violence used in the expulsion.
Pursuant to a despatch from the Secretary of
State, the coinage of the Sydney Mint was pro-
claimed by Sir Henry Barkly a legal tender in Vic-
toria on the 20th July.
Public meetings have been held at Bathurst and
other towns in the Western interior to petition for
a better means of communication across the Blue
Mountains. The road has been nearly destroyed
by the long-continued heavy rains.

AMERICA.

SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY MORNING.

The United States steamer Arago, Capt. Lines,
has arrived off Cowes with New York advices to
the 14th inst. She brings 91 passengers, 17,000
doll. in specie, 50 tierces rice, and 6,400 bushels
of wheat.

The Arabia, from Liverpool, arrived out on the
13th.

A despatch from Washington of the 13th an-
nounces that despatches had that day been received
by the State Department from Chief Justice Echols,
of 'Utah, dated at " Camp on Sweet Water, 21
miles east of South Pass, Oct. the 13th, 1857."
Judge Echols says—
"An express has just arrived from Green River, and
reports that on the night of the sth of October a train
of 26 waggons was captured by the Mormons 25 miles
from the Pacific spring. At the same time two other
trains were taken near Green River, in all 78 waggons
and loading. The Mormons said they had 700 men
there, and 1,500 more at Salt Lake City. Coloa.-1 Alex-
ander is encamped at Hams Fort, 30 miles is advance of
the front train, which is deotroyed. lie sent Captain
Marcy with 400 men back to Green River, to enable
the teamsters to collect their cattle. The Mormons
killed no one, for the reason that •no resistance was
made. Colonel Smith will collect the trains on this side,
and escort them forward. One train is now before us
and two behind. We are in good epirit3, and that is a
great help to all. The Mormons will likely attack us in
a day or two, and may rue their impudence. We have
47 men in this command, but Colonel Smith is a host
within himself. We have determined, if at'acked, t
use the rifles in the lines. We shall most likely
take the route on Bear River for Salt Lake City.
"Cho want of forage for our males is the peatest hind-
rancP, but we will go on If we have to walk and carry
our provisions."

The above despatch, showing the first overt act
of the Mormon treason, was immediately laid be-
fore the President of the United States, who sum-
moned the members of the Cabinet for consultation
upon its contents. The intelligence was considered
in Cabinet meeting in the afternoon, but no defi-
nite action_ was determined. The Secretary of War
thinks it would be hopeless to sand reinforcements
or supplies so late in the season as this. Despatches
are anxiously looked for from Col. Johnson, who
is in command of the army for Utah. The Govern-
ment officers do not fully credit the report received
from Judge Echols.
Financial matters at New York still showed
symptoms of progressive improvement.
The Herald of the 14th, in its review of the pre-
vious day's money-market, says :
" The arrival of the steamship Arabia at this port from
Liverpool, with seven days' later advises, at an early
hour this morning gave quite an impetus to the stock•
market. The movement was unusually active, and in
almost every instance an important improvement was
realized. The bulls appear to be in fine feather ju-t,
now, but we fear they wilt not realise much of the ad-
vance in market value. Small holders of stocks outside
the streets may take advantage of their inflation Red
sell their supplies, but the large holders in the streets
cannot do this. They being the regulators of the market
must hold on and buy more to sustain prices, and in this
way they are likely to get tilled up with stocks at high
prices. At present, however, things look bright for the
bulls, and they operate with a great deal of spirit.

Railroad stocks, and Coal stocks thero were very heavy
transactions, principally for cash. The movement in
Cumberland coal continues, but the advance in prices
to-day was not fully sustained to the close. All the
Western Railroad stocks were in demand to-day at the
improvement in market value, and the aggregate opera-
tions were equal to almost any day during the prevalence
of a speculative excitement in the street. The great
difficulty is the absence of outsiders. The ' bulls' of the
Stock Exchange have the entire load to carry, and prices
have became so inflated that the burden is already op-
pressive. Notwithstanding the abundance of money, at
the second board a further advance was realised, and the
market closed firm at our quotations. Missouri Sixes

was considerable activity this afternoon in railroad
stocks, and the operations on time comprise but a very
few lots. It is a moat extraordinary feature of the
market that so large a portion of the transactions is
sfoitr
cash. This shows great abundance of money, and
also shows that very few outsiders are among the
operators.
" The notes of the Manufacturers' Bank at Man-
chester, Connecticut, were thrown out to-day by the
Metropolitan Bask."
The working men's demonstrations at New York
were dwindling away to nothing and the majority
of those assembled seemed to attend merely for the
purpose of enjoying the fun created by the eccen-
tricities of Madame Rauke.
Tue Collins steamship Adriatic went to sea on the
13th on a trial trip. A gentleman who was on
board of her 12 hours reports her performance as
exceedingly satisfactory. She was positively to
leave for Liverpool on the 21st inst.
The ste imer Isabel had arrived at Charleston
with advises from Ilavannah to the 100-, but they
contained no news of interest.
Emphatic instructions had been sent south from
%Washington, with a view, if possible, to intercept
General Walker and his party. The Navy Depart-
ment expresses a confidence that the Filibusters
will be intercepted. •
Accounts from Kan4as state that Messrs. Moore,
Calhoun, and others propose to submit to the peo-
ple of the territory a Fort of double-headed consti-
tution, oi,e with and one without slavery. Other
accounts state that the Pro-Slavery clause, which
received only four dissentient votes, would alone be

submitted for ratification, so that no chance would
be given to reject the constitution. It was expected
the Convention would adjourn on the 7th inst.
The news received by the Arabia had the effect
of checking sales of cotton ; the light stock, how-
ever, induced holders not to press sales, and is ono
case for a respectable time a buyer offered to take
it at a half cant decline, which was refused ; the
moderate receipts and light stock of breadstuffs
also tended to prevent a decline to correspond with
a depression of prices in Liverpool.
Flour, with moderate sales, closed at a decline of
about sc. to 10c. per barrel, and common and
medium grades of wheat also fell off 2c. to 3c. per
bushel, while prime was scarce and sales limited.
Corn was easier, with sales of Western mixed at
76c. to 78c. Pork was quiet, with small sales of
mess at $l9 75c. Sugars were in fair demand.
Coffee was quiet and prices unchanged ; fre;ghts
were steady, with moderate engagements at fu'l
prices.
