THE PRINCIPALITIES.

A letter dated Constantinople, Dec. 16, says :
The interest about the proceedings in the Danubian
Principalities, which bad somewhat subsided by
the couviction that the Governments had come to
an agreement, is again awakened by the question
—What is-t 0 be done if the Divan of Wallachia
maintains its present attitude, and refuses to
answer any questions which the Commission might
put about internal administrative matters

- You are aware that, after discussing and adopting
the report of the C9mmittee on the Four Pows,
the majority of the Wallachian Divan has expre-,sed
the opinion that it should be prorogued until the
Congress of Paris should have pronounced on those
four cardinal points. On this the European Com-
mission has addressed a note,to the Divan, asking
whether it persists in this opinion. The proba-
bility is that it will, although no news of it has as
yet arrived. The note has been referred to a select
committee, and we are waiting for the decision of
the Divan on the report of the latter.
If the Wallachian Divan should refuse to enter
into administrative questions the general impres-
sion of the European Commission seems to be that
the Divan should be dissolved and not prorogued.
But even in the case of an understanding in the
Commission, the question always remains,—Who
run d should take whatever steps are to be taken 1
As the whole affair of the Principalities was a
kind
of
logical
o down each othertournament, in which all parties
tried with logic, it would
be but fair to the Turks to have their go too, and as
it is a Turkish firman which convoked the Divans
it should be likewise a Turkish firman which should
dissolve them. But, as usual in politics, logic will
scarcely be right this time, for there remains the
necessary consideration for the Congress of Paris.
It is the latter which was the prime mover for the
tconvocation
consultedo ofthe
whether Divans,
it
has obtained the wishes
so it is thought it ought
of the Principalities, or whether it will decide
about the Four Points and then let the Divans go
on again.
This latter solution would be, undoubtedly,
the more practical, for the chronic disease in th•s
affair seems to be that people never know their
own meaning, and all the complications have in-
variably arisen from the fact that one party attached
to some expression one and the other another
meaning ; so, if anything be done without first re-
ferring to the Congress, it may be likewise found
that one party has had one and the other another
idea of the wishes of the Principalities which
ought to be elicited.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, DEC. 22.

It is whispered that there will be another and
more important reduction of the Austrian army in
the spring of 1858, if no new clouds should appear
in the political horizon. The conviction that the
Credit Bank must realize a large sum of money by
the sale of preference shares of the Theiss and
Western Railroads has led to a very consider
able advance in the price of the shares of that
institution. A few days since Credit shares
were hardly to be disposed of at 190, and
to-day they are in great requeit at 207. The
English lady who for some time was in the
General (Civil) Hospital of Vienna was a Miss
Stewart, and not as has been stated Miss Night-
ingale.

A joint-stock company has been formed at Verona
and Milan, with a capital of six millions of lire
(200,0001.), for making advances to Bilk spinners,
dealers, and brokers. Two-thirds of its value will
be advanced on all silk deposited. The company is
to i eceive 6 per cent. per annum, and 1 per cent.
provision every three months.

LATEST 'NEWS

TRIESTE, DEC. 24.

Intelligence has been received from Constan-
tinople to the 17th. A note addressed by M.
de Boutenieff to the Porte declares that the oc-
cupation of Perira by the English is contrary to
the integrity of the Turkish territory. The com-
mission appointed to examine the consolidation of
the home debt is engaged in devising measures to
lessen the effects of the financial crisis.

MADRID, DEC. 24.
The Government has not yet declared who its
candidates are for the Presidencies of the Congress
and of the Senat3. All that the journals say on
that subject are inexact. The reports current of
a Ministerial crisis are likewise unfounded.

BERLIN, DEc. 24.
The Dowager Empress of Russia is expected a
Berlin in February.
Count Chreptowitch retires into private life.

It has been decided that all the branch houses
of the Bank of Prussia shall take the notes of
the private Prussian banks, and that some excep-
tions shall be made as regards the prohibition to
take foreign notes."

PARIS, FRIDAY.
This being Christmas-day, the Bourse and piblic
offices are closed.

The Moniteur publishes an imperial decree for
the organisation of the Imperial' Asylum of Saverne
for the widows of high civil and military function-
aries who have died in the service of the state.
Any person applying for admission must prove her
quality of widow or widowed or unmarried daughter
of a civil or military functionary, and that she is at
least 35 years of age. The admission to the Chateau
of Saverne gtves a right to a furnished apart-
ment. The number of apartments to be con-

them their unmarried daughters and their sons, but
the latter only to the age of 12. If they have no
children, they may by special authorisation of the

determined General Eudokimow to undertake au
expedition against them. On the 31st Oct. he
commenced his march with a column of 10 batta-
lions of infantry, 1,700 mounted Cossacks, 500
militia, and 26 pieces of cannon. He attacked a
considerable village, and burnt it down iu spite
of a vigorous resistance on the part of the moun-
taineers. The Russians had 29 killed and 79
wounded. On the 2d November seven villages
were burnt. During the night the mountaineers
received considerable reinforcements. On the 3d,
General Kempfer attacked the tribe of the Tchet-
nager, drove them from their positions, and burnt
14 villages. On the sth, 6tb, and 7th, the Russians

P UGILISM.

Bos TYLER (OF LONDON), AND TOPPER BROWN (OF
LEICESTER), FOR 100/.—Boa Tyler is a man well known
to the metropolitan patrons of the Ring. Though a
clever tactician, he has never had the character of being
a stand-up boxer ; but, in the present tourney, he showed
improvement in this respect. Brown is a native of
Leicester ; and, like Tyler, has figured several times
within the squared circle, his last contest being with
Edwards, of Cheltenham, at Mildenhall, by whom he
was defeated. The combatants were confined to 9st
10. b. An aquatic trip was agreed on, and after a plea-
cant voyage, the ring was formed on the marshes at
Thames Haven. Tyler was waited on by Harry Brun-
ton and Hayes ; while George Braun and Bent were re-
tainedl as "counsel" for Brown,
fancied by his Leicester and London admirers atre
5 4pB being
who was so strongly
fancied
made the favourite in betting, the odds of to
freely laid. By half-past three o'clock the
from combatantstbeeen
had been conducted to the scratch, and
.
ing round Tyler took a most decided lead, often getting
on hie opponent in a telling and effective manner. It
was anticipated that Brown—so great was the opinion
entertained of him—would be able to take some extra
ordinary liberties with the clever and shifty Tyler, but
the expectations of hie friends were not realised ; 01,
the contrary, be displayed a total incapacity to meet his
antagonist, and often went down in a very questionabh
manner. Tyler soon found that the " steam" was out
of his opponent, and having once got him at his " mea-
sure," he skilfully improved his advantage by forcing the
fighting. In the whole, 51 rounds, some of them, how-
ever, being of a very insignificant character, were
fought ; when Brown, who had not a chance left, went
down, as he had many times during the bontest, without
a blow. Tyler was hailed the winner, the contee
having occupied one hour a d 20 minutes.

rnE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY Vr N ENG., OCTOBER 14, 5"

BOW TO MITIGATE THE ACTION OF THE
INDIAN MUTINY AND Tqß AMERICAN
FINANCIAL PANIC ON OUR MONEY MARKET.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN,

Sm,—Allow me to call your attention to a remedy
for the many evils arising from drair. of gold, suggested
in the inclosed form of a petition, and to appeal to you
to exert your powerful influence at this critical period
to obtain by an Order in Council such an amelioration
of our restrictive Monetary System as will avert some of
the baneful effects of the Act of 1844. The principles of
that Act are now under Parliamentary consideration,
and the evidence already published is overwhelmingly
condemnatory of its restrictions. Still, as the late Bank
Committee reported the evidence to be incomplete and
recommended the reappointment of a Committee next
session, it is obvious that no Legislative action can
take place upon their report until the year 1859.
In the mean time the interest of all other classes
will continue to be sacrificed under the operation
of the Act of 1844 to the money class—for as Mr.
Chapman (of the firm of Overend, Gurney, and Co.),
stated in his evidence before the committee, capitalists
do avail themselves at these arises of the power their
command of notes gives them to reduce the Bank Re.
serve of gold, to make enormous profits out of the rain
of the people who fall victims to them. This plan is
suggested not for a mere temporary relief, but with a
view of establishing permanently a mode of ajusting
our currency so as to avoid at all tones the evils of drains
of gold.

By adopting it, the few mations of gold abstracted
for India and America may be replaced without any
disturbance of our money market, and the reflux which
in the course of time must take place, as gold like
water finds its level, will cause the sovereigns to find
their way again into the service of the retail trade,
as it would no longer suit the Bank to pay 4 per cent.
for the use of the notes when its rate of discount had
fallen below 5 per cant, from the influx of gold.—l am,
sir, your obedt. servant,

C'OU'RT OF ALDERMEN.

Yesterday a court was held for the despatch of pubic
business,

STATE OP THE nrran THAMES.
The LOUD MAYOE—I made a view of the river in
consequence of a petition that reached me from the
&bent:tett of the upper district. The Deputy Town Clerk
will be good enough to read the report upon this
nbj ect.

The Deputy TOWN CLERK having read the document.,
Alderman FAREBROTHER—I find by tho report that an
indictment has been preferred against a gas company
for doing great injury to the River Thames, and that
the trial has been removed by certiorari to the Court of
Queen's Bench. I whether the nuisance is to abate
a.i interim, or whether these gentlemen are to be allowed
to continue it ?

The LORD MAYOR—The nuisance which was occa-
sioned by making some alterations in their gas works,
has beau abated in consequence of the legal proceedings
which were adopted against the company. It was re•
ported to me, and I immediately dispatched our water
bailiff to the spot to inspect and report npon what was
going on.

ALiern►an COPELAND—D:d you receive reports of
these nuisances from the harbour master or whom ?
T►le LORD MAYOR—From the water bailiff. Ile
came and repoite I to me, and I immediately ordered a
prosecution to be institued. (Rear, hear).
The subject then dropped.
Upon the annual mot►on that certain small sums be
paid to certain members of the Lord Mayor's hous,holit,
Sir P. LAurtut said be thought the ►te►ns ought not to
appear upon the pcper of business, or to be made the
subject of di,cussion.

Alter a short discussion it was agreed that the sums
should be paid as heretofore.

The LOIID MAYOR.—This reminds me of a matter of
privilege. The Crown has each year been in the habit
of sending eight bucks to the Lord Mayor. Tub; year
I have not had them, although I have applied for them.
(Laughter.)

Alderrnan Ros E—l never had the bucks, to which I
way entitled, forwarded to we when I was sheriff.
(Laughter.)
Alderman COPELAND —lt is a well-known fact that
the aldermen are very fond of venison, and therefore it
is hard to cut it off. The corporation iv in the habit of
providing livery for the officer, of state, and I would
suggest that as they have stopped the venison we should
stop the clothing. (Much laughter, and "No, co.")
The LORD MAYOR—The Recorder says ho has never
had his three bucks.

The RECJRDER —lt is, perhaps, important that it should
be known this is not a mare privilege granted, but it is
an aino!ute right. Formerly the citizens of London had
the right of hunting iu the Royal forests, and it was then
agreed that in lieu of their hunting in the Royal f, 'rests
a certain amount of venison should be sent to the officers
of the corporation. Therefore this was compounding a
legal right which the officers of the corporation possess.
It is not a mere gilt of the Crown, but it is a composi-
tion in lieu of an ancient right. (llear, hear.)
A Ellett discussion arose upon the alterations now
going on at the 011 Bai'ay, at the termination of which
the court adjourned.
