CONSTANTINOPLE, DEC. 24.—We still continue to re-
ceive accounts of disasters that have lately occurred in
the Black Sea.

Accounts brought by the Perwas steamer, belonging
to the Danish Steam Navigation Company, which left
for Galaez on the 19th, but was obliged to return with-
out reaching that place, nearly 300 merchantmen were
hindered by the freezing of the Danube from proceeding
on their zoyage.
Abdallah Pasha, of Trebison, who had been ordered by
the Porte to make a return visit to the English Vice-
Consul, who, on receiving a written invitation, was to
visit him with his interpreter, was preparing, when the
last steam-boat left, to return Mr. Stevens's visit. Sir
Stratford Canning is fully satisfied with this satisfaction
for the impolite behaviour of Abdallah Pasha to the Vice-
'Consul and his interpreter. lie considers this affair of
the ill-treated Greek as a distinct matter, in which not
only England, but the three Protective Powers were
ooncerned.

VIENNA, JAN. 6.—The Vienna Gazette published
yesterday the report of the receipts of the Northern
Railway Company during the year 1844. The total
amount was 1,603,686 florins, deducting the expenses.
The Company received nearly 5 per cent. for its capital.
This is a favourable result.
