The' Times says, " That, in the present state of affairs,
the probability or otherwise of the Bank of England rais-
ing the rate of discount to 5 per cent. must entirely depend

pressure experie

day to day. It is believed, however, that the intensity of
the existing panic is regarded as being so much beyond
what could have been looked for, that any likely addition
to it would be reluctantly resorted to.
" Money was in demand in the Stock Exchange, on
Monday, at from 3 to 31 per cent. on Government Secu-
rities. Out of doors, also, a considerable pressure is kept

up, but so much of it now arises from mere apprehension,
that no opinion can be foundel upon it as to the real
wants of the mercantile community."

THE EASTERN QUESTION.
(From the Second Edition of the "Morning Herald.")
We are enabled to state, on the best authority, that the
government, moved at length by the unanimous voice of

the country, and now awake to the insiduous designs of
Russia, have sent full powers to the British Ambassador
at Constantinople to act more energetically in support of
the Turks. The Government have also despatched a mes-
senger to Vice-Admiral Dandas, in Besika Bay, via"
Marseilles and Malta, with despatches informing him of

the instructions sent to Lord 13e Redcliffe, and enjoining
the gallant Admiral to be in readiness to attend instantly
to any requisition that the Ambassador may make to him
to proceed to Constantinople, with the entire force under
his command. It is expected that by the time the Govern-
ment messenger will reach Admiral Danlls the squadron
will be under weigh for the Bosphorus, and hostilities
will have commenced.
We are further enabled to state that orders have been
sent to Admiral Corry, to take the whole of the fleet under
his command, including the division of powerful screw
ships, and proceed to sea to-morrow, the 28th. We be-
lieve a portion of this fleet. will proceed northward, and
perhaps another part to Gibraltar or Malta. Other screw
line of battle-ships will be immediately commissioned for
active service.

The Times says :—" The storms and frost of the ap-
proaching winter, already in some degree discernible, will
directly affect the prospect of affairs in the East of Europe.
The waters of Besika Bay will no longer provide the mari-
time power with a secure rendezvous for their squadrons ;
and the impassable roads of the Danubian provinces will
furnish a pretext for continuing the unlawful occupation
of a Foreign territory; in all respects, therefore, it is
plainly discernible that our negotiations should be brought
without more delay to some point of distinct understanding.
Are England and France disposed to commit the exercise
of the authority over Turkish subjects, which the Czar
appears very intelligibly to attend to; if not, will the
Czar recede before their determined opposition ? These
are points at issue, and they may be brought to a con-
clusion, the Times thinks, before winter complicates our
embarrassment, or the suspense of such a decision works
any further inconvenience."

CONSPANUNOPLE, SEPT. 15.—The Times says :
"Convinced by the argument of the Sheik Ul-Islam, the
Memas have revoked their last declaration.—The process

Sion of the Beiram went of in the most perfect and
tranquil manner. Extensive precautions hid been taken,
and the garrison and police were reinforced by strong de-
tachments of troops and peace-offimrs.
boThe crews of the vessels in harbour were confined on
pl their ships.
the 15,000 to 2D,003 muskets linve been taken from
arsenal of St. Irene, and shipped oX to Varna.

[GRATIS.

Another despatch of the same date states that the ex-
citement caused by the steps taken by the Ulemas threat-
ens the most serious consequences, and that on the 14th
the Ambassadors of France and Great Britain resolved to
order three French and three British steam frigates from
the fleet to proceed to Constantinople. The French Am-
, bassador was the first to take this measure.

nople. The steamers are under the orders of a French

THE

:' ONFERENCE.—A Vienna letter of
the 21st states that Westmoreland had orders to insist
that the proposed declaration—" the Vienna note contains
nothing dangerous to the sovereignty of the Sultan"—
should be drawn up in the form of a protocol. After the

interpretation given to the note by Russia, England
might, but would not, compel the Sultan to adopt that

engage ment
