THE EASTERN WAR.

Further details of the battle of Citale are wanting, but
there is no doubt of the success of the Turks.

The Times' Paris correspondent says, " If it be correct
that the Turks have also advanced between the Schyl and.
Aluta, near Karcaral, Omar Pasha must have made another
movement upwards, from some point between Kahora and.
Meopolis, which, with the success near Kalafat, would
determine the retreat of the Russians, to avoid being
placed between two fires, or driven northwards."

The Paris Moniteur announces officially the entry of
the combined fleets into the Black Sea on the 3rd of Jan.

The Emperor of Russia's answer to the propositions of
the Four Powers is not expected for a few days, and all
the reports now in circulation as to his decision are un-
worthy of credence.

The French naval and military preparations continue on
a most extensive scale.

THE BOURBOS FAMILY.

A REPORT that it is the intention of the Drc DB
MORDEATTX, the legitimate claimant of the throne of
_France, to pay a visit to Claremont to the members of the
Ont.rA_Nrs family, has thrown our Conservative contem-
porary The Morning Herald into a fever of excitement.
The Government is called upon to prevent this meeting of
-the BOURBONS, this fusion of the long dissevered members
of the Royal family of France—stigmatised by over zeal
no a meeting of conspirators against the stainless throne
et. Loins NAPOLEON; and if the Government should be
unable—in this land of freedom, where refugee rebels may
plot undisturbed—to forbid the meeting of Princes, then
the QrEEN's most excellent Majesty is called upon to re-
fuse all show of courtesy to the illustrious fugitives. This
.anger of our contemporary touches the absurd, and dis-
plays a feeling in the writer the reverse of that chivalry
which ought to animate all true Conservatives. The
1)17C DR BORDEAUX, or COHTE DE CHA3fBORD, is the
lead of the family which has occupied the throne of
France for centuries, except the intervals created by
treason and rebellion. Ills place is now filled by one who
has no other claim to it than the fear of his troops, and
the influence gained by the violation of the most sacred
obligations ; and yet, because the rightful heir seeks
personal communion with those of his own blood for the
legitimate object of recovering that to which -he has as
as much right as our own Vic-rows. has to the throne of
-Great Britain, our contemporary stigmatises him as a
conspirator, and all through fear that the usurper should
be offended. Our own QUEEN claims the loyalty of every
true Conservative subject from that Divine right of legiti-
-anate succession, that grace of God, the refusal to acknow-
ledge which, upon the first issued florins, caused such well-
founded complaints against the then Romanist Master of
-the Vint. In a land, therefore, where the rebels MAZZINI,
lCossurn, and others, have been allowed to concoct their
traitorous designs against the Monarchs with whom we
are in alliance, to interpose any obstacles to the peaceful
meeting of Princes despoiled of their inheritance, even
-though the result should be a defeat of the French usurper,
is a violation of principle, of which a Conservative should
be ashamed, though it may suit the notions of expediency
which actuate Radicals. Let the COMTE DE CHA.MBORD
be welcome, if he come ; and should the result be his
-restoration to the throne of his ancestors, however remote
it may now appear, we shall have more real claim to the
-gratitude of France than by any mock professions of
friendship with the present Emperor.

THE BATTLE OF CITALE.

The following telegraphic despatches from Vienna leave
no doubt that Omar Pasha has succeeded in striking
another severe blow on the Russian army opposed to him.
It appears that the Russians contemplated an attack on
Kalafat on the 13th of January, for which purpose they
were engaged in concentrating their force in entrench-
ments at Citale. On the 6th instant, however, and before
they had succeeded in bringing up all their troops, the
Turkish General marched out of Kalafat with 15,000 or
18,000 men, to storm the enemy's entrenchments. On
that day, and on the 7th and Bth, a series of murderous
conflicts took place, ending in the total defeat of the Rus-
sians, who confess to a loss of 1,000 killed, and 4,000
wounded. General Aurep, who commanded the Russians,
was severely wounded, as well as General Tuinont.

FUNDS, STOCK, AND SHARE MARKET.

The improvement in French Funds indicating a revived
feeling in the maintenance of peace, operated favourably on'
the English market during the forenoon, and Consols after
opening weakly, buyers at 93i advanced to 93!; subsequently
prices receded, on a pressure of sales, based on the afternoon
foreign letters, and closed at about the opening range. The
Railway market displayed more animation than has been
observed for some time past, and the advance which occurred
after hours on Saturday was in every instance supported.
Foreign general market dull; Russians better. Australian
Land and Bank descriptions fully maintained former quo—
tations.

jesty's commands, has issued 1,200 invitations.

• DEA.WING-Roo3l.—Her Majesty held a drawing-room
(the third this season) on Thursday, in St. James's Palace.
The Queen wore a train of green and white brocaded silk,
trimmed with white tulle and blonde, and alternate
bunches of violet and pink and white May blossoms. The
petticoat was of white satin, with white tulle and blonde,
and bunches of violet and pink and white May blossoms
to correspond with the train. Her Majesty's head-dress
was a wreath of violets and pink and white May blossoms
and diamonds.

HER MAJESTY'S LEVEL—The mayor of Norwich (Mr.
Samuel Bignold) presented to the Queen an address pledg-
ing the loyal support of the corporation in the prosecution
of the war. Mr. Binold was presented by the Duke of
Wellington, and received the honour of knighthood. The
citizens of Norwich are highly pleased with the event.
Sir Samuel Bignold is well known as the secretary to the
Norwich Union Fire and Life Insurance Societies, and is
possessed of ample means to support his title.
Tin ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.—Mario and Lablache
made their debilt at the Royal Italian Opera House on
Tuesday in Rosemi's " Barber of Seville." Both these
great artistes were heartily welcomed by the audience,
among whom was the Queen and Prince Albert. La-
blache was in excellent spirits and in capital voice ; but
Marto did not appear to as great advantage as on former
occasions.

CATTLE

LIVERPOOL, MAY 15.—We have had a smaller supply
of cattle at market, which met a very brisk demand at
fully id per lb. advance. Sheep also met a ready sale at
the extreme currencies of last week. Good beef worth
Old to 7d per lb., mutton 7id to 7-td.
SALFORD, MAY 10.—Cows, 1,404; sheep and lambs,
5,700 ; calves, 230. Beef from 4}d to 7d ; sheep in wool,
Sid ; clipped sheep, 7id to 7id ; lamb, Sd to 10d ; calves,
5d to OW. A rather heavy market.
DUBLIN, MAY 11.—The market was remarkably
small to-day, both of cattle and sheep, especially the
former. High prices were therefore had for beef, 58s to
60s a. 635, and even 65s per cwt. being obtained for some
heifers. Mutton unchanged in price, being 6d to bid per
lb. for shorn, and 70 to 8d in fleece. Lambs, 16s to 26s
each. Pork, 47s to 48s per cwt., and active buying,
owing to the cool weather. Large numbers of well-fed
pigs are yet brought forward.

aDiA AND CHINA.

BOMBAY, APRIL 14.—Fair business in general markets.
Money continues very scarce in the bazaar, but in other
quarters the pressure has not been felt much, and rates
of discount at the banks not altered since last report.
Transactions limited. Cotton, notwithstanding unfavour-
able accounts from both England and China, remains
steady at previous quotations. Most purchases made by
natives. Produce of all descriptions held at extreme
rates. Freights firm, and unchanged : £4 ss. to Liver-
pool, and £4 1-os. to London. A number of large vessels
arrived. Exchange fluctuated considerably-2s. ld. and
1-16 d. ; 2s. Id. and -id.
CHINA, JAN. 30.—N0 news of importance; but it
appears the rebels are quite able to maintain the position
taken up for winter quarters some two months before,
against all the forces that could be brought against
them. It is certain that the Imperialists have sustained
severe defeats.

CALcrrrA.—lndigo neglected. The few arrivals lately,
and consequent shortness of supplies, have maintained the
tone of the market for Cotton piece goods, and of dis-
posing dealers to operate with less reserve. Plain goods
in comparatively active demand, at slightly improved
prices ; but fancy and light goods still neglected, and
very inactive. Exchange scarcely altered. Tonnage
scarce. Freights higher. London £7 17s. 6d. to ZS.
Canton, freights to England £6 to £7.

PROVISIONS

LIVERPOOL, MAY 12.—There is an active inquiry for
beef, and sales to a large extent are reported, including a
considerable parcel to arrive ; very full prices have been
made, and holders now demand an advance on all quali-
ties. For pork there is also an increased inquiry, but the
stock being light, and holders pretensions high, the
transactions have only slightly exceeded the average ex-
tent. For fine bacon there is a fair demand, at steady
rates, but secondary and inferior descriptions can only be
sold by submitting to a decline of 2s to 3s per cwt. The
sales for the week are large. Shoulders and hams sell
freely when of good quality. The price of lard has receded
fully is per cwt., without leading to a healthy business.
Several parcels are reported as sold, but they have merely
changed hands to settle contracts. Grease butter is in-
quired for, in anticipation of the coming season.
MAY 15.—Although the import of butter has been
liberal since our last report, the demand was so general
and good that all the finest Waterford was cleared oil' in
the early part of last week at 104 s to 105 s, and good
second-rate brands 100 s to 102 s. There has been an ex-
tensive inquiry for butter to-day, and nearly all has been
disposed of. Waterford, 104 s to 1058; Carrick and Clon-
mel,lo2s to 103 s ; Limerick, 98s to 100 s ; Cork, 3rds, 100 s,
and 4ths, 90s, per cwt. landed. Imported from Ireland,
from the 6th to the 12th inst., both inclusive, 7575
firkins, 50 kegs, 246 crocks, 232 boxes, 238 barrels butter,
76 bales bacon, 6 hhds. 104 tierces hams, and 60 kegs

VIENNA, MAY 13.—The Post says, the armies of Italy
and Galicia are placed on a war footing, and that move-
ments on the frontier indicate that Austria is preparing to
take an active part in the struggle.—The Daily News
says, Austria has addressed a new note to Russia, re-
questing her to evacuate' the Principalities, and pointing
out, it is alleged, an eventual casus belli.
The journal Invalid Busse, of May 6th, contains a de-
cree of the Emperor of Russia, addressed to General
Osten-Sacken. It states that on a religious anniversary
the English and French fleets bombarded the batteries
of Odessa and the habitations of the peaceful citizens, as
well as the merchant shipping in the harbour, and con-
eludes as follows :

" But our brave troops, led by you in person, and pene-
trated by a profound faith- in the supreme protector of
justice, gloriously repelled the attack of the enemy against
the soil which, in apostoltc times, received the saintly pre-
cursor of the Christian religion in our holy country. The
heroic firmness and devotion of our troops, inspired
by your example, have been crowned with complete suc-
cess. The city has been saved from destruction, and the
enemy's fleet has disappeared. As a worthy recompense
for so brilliant an action, we grant you the order of St.
Andrew. NICHOLAI3.—St. Petersburg, May 3."

MADRID, MAY 9.—The government has refused to com-
ply with the demand for satisfaction addressed to it by the

but has promised to remit the fine of 6,000 dollars, which
the owner of that vessel has been sentenced to pay.

HOUSE OF LORDS-MONDAY, MAY M.

Lord Buotromot postponed the Scotch Bankruptcy
mid Insolvency Bill until after the termination of the
inquiry respecting the amendment of the law of bank.
ruptcy in England and Ireland, which would be in about
a fortnight. He said the measure had received the sup-
port of the great mercantile interest, and was only
opposed by writers and accountants.
The Earl of EGLINTON pointed out the inconvenience
which would arise from postponing the bill for an indefi.
nite period, and he invited the noble lord either to with-
draw the bill altogether, or to fix some definite time for
proceeding with it.
Lord BROUGHAM declined to make any change.
The Duke of NswcAsrLz, in reference to the explana-
tion which he had given on Friday respecting an allega-
tion that the steamer Andes, when conveying troops to
Malta, had taken fire, and that only two boats were on
board, stated that he had received positive information
that the vessel had six boats, whilst the act required
only five.—The Marquis of CLANEICA.RDE expressed his
satisfaction.

A message was brought up from the Crown, inti-
mating to their lordships that, in consequence of the
war, it was Her Majesty's intention to call out and embody
such portions of the militia force of the country as occa-
sion might require.
The Duke of NEWCASTLE moved an address to the
Queen, in reply to Her Majesty's message, which, after
some conversation, was agreed to.
The Bishop of OXFORD presented a petition from
Aylesbury, praying that capital punishment might here-
after take place within the prison walls, and not in public.
The Earl of ABERDEEN expressed a strong opinion that
if executions were intramural, and not in public, the
people of this country would not be satisfied. A change
in the existing practice could not be lightly made, and, as
at present advised, he could not give any countenance to
the -prayer of the petition.

punishment must take place in public. There I'M 119
