ENGLAND.

London had had an interview with Mr.. Cunard,
and that he gave no encouragement, except the
enunciation of his opinion that he had long thought
that the Shannon the only portion on the west
coast OF Ireland suited for racket station, but for
the general nature of the service he would prefer
Cork-that there were three requisites for success
ful transatlantic packet services, viz: a mail con-
tract, firstclass passenger traffic, and goods
traffic; and without any one of these resources ruin
would be the result of any undertaking Of the kind
As to the Shannon and Galway, he preferred the
former, but he considered Liverpool preferable to
either, and as he had got the mail contract for the
term of five years from 1862, the mails would con-
time to be sent from that port However, not
wthstanding Mr.. Cunard's opinion, meeting is to
be held in this city for the purpose of taking mea-
sures to promote packet station.
The Admiralty has issued orders for moorings to
be laid down at Galway for the convenience of the
transatlantic steam packets in that harbor. The
Dublin papers are informed that government has
decided upon constructing harbor at Galway ca
pable of accommodating the transatlantic traffic
and had ordered surveys to be made, and the neces
sary estimates of expense prepared.
The young Prince Alfred had sailed on his first
voyage to sea, a naval cadet, on board the
frigate Euryaus. The Prince of Wales was ex-
pected to shortly receive commission in and join
the army.
We are told by one of the morning journals in
the confidence of the court that the young sailor
will enjoy privileges beyond those of the other
cadets attached to the Euryalus, except that his
servant has cabin allotted to him. but his "kit'
is OF the usual character. The chest and outfit
devoid of all superhuities have been duly inspected
by the Queen and Prince Consort at Buckingham
Palace.
Constantinople letters assert that the British vice
consul has been insuted by the inhabitants at
Rhodes, and failing to obtain satisfaction, hauled
down his flag.
The treaty concluded with Japan by Lord Elgin,
is said to be almost identical with the American
treaty. One year after its ratification five ports
will be opened to English traders Cotton and
ar to dutv of 6ua
cent of the declared value on importation. Almost
all other articles to pay 20 per cent. resident
minister is to be permitted at Jabbo. Exports are
to be subject to duty of five per cent. The Dutch
had not as yet succeeded in obtaining the privileges
granted to other nations. During Lord EIgin s
visit to Jabbo the Emperor was unwell, which was
given excuse for his not receiving his lordship
PORTUGAL.
THE PORTUGUESE PRgss.-Some days ago the Uni
published catalogue rdisOnne of the Lisbon
newspapers, and made out that, with the exception
of two three ultramontane organs of its kid
ney, they were all conducted by set of low radi-
calls and socialists Thirty-sx editors of Portuguese
journals have now sent protest to the French pa
pers against this caumny. A great fuss has been
made in Paris about alleged insults to French Sis
ters of Charity, in Lisbon, for which it has been
sought to hold the Portuguese government and ma
tion responsible. The Jesuitic journals have even
frequently insnuated that the French naval demon
strations in the Tagus much provoked by the
affair of the Sisters of Charity by that of the
1t appears from the memorial which embodies the
almost unanimous testimony of the Portuguese
press, that there is no other foundation for the
grievance than a manifestation of curiosity and
surprise, not always unmiXed with derision, among
fraction of the lowest and most ignorant classes
at the appearance in the streets of Lisbon of wo-
men in costume which appeared very strange in
their eyes. But these vulgar manifestations were,
with one voice. condemned by the journals, even by
those which-as a matter of policy-are more
strongly opposed to the novelty of the introduction
into Portugal of establishments of Sisters of Chari
ty for the purpose of educating children. The Por-
tuguese press, while claiming the right of a nation
to free discussion subject affecting its institu-
tions, customs and prosperity, protests in the most
solemn manner against unfounded statements which
can only have been suggested to its brethren of
France, Spain, England and Belgium, by false and,
doubtless malevolent assertions
AUSTRIA.
The Vienna correspondent of the Times writes
that the news Of the Portuguese government having
succumbed to France, had created a disagresabe
impression in the Austrian capital. The Austrians
thought that right on the side of Portugal and
expected England would have interferred in her
favor.
The Austrian government is much perplexed
with its Galician subjects. The military authori-
ties complain that the difficulty of keeping the Ga
licians in order has increased hundredfold since
the bestowal of parliament, and independence
and freedom of election on their Moldo- Wallachan
neighbors.
The Invalide Russo announces the subsection to
Russia of considerable tract of the Great
Tchetchna. 1t consists of the whole mountainous
region extending between the sources of the Terek
and the valley of Charo-Argoune. The report of
these successes in the Caucasus was brought to
Tifs by Captain Fadeef who came in direct line
from Argoune, without an escort, accompanied
only BY deputation from the pacifed tribes This
is the first time, says the hvaiide, that Russian
officer has passed along this route
The Emperor has just adopted two measures of
some Importance relative to Poand-one concern
ing the recruitment, by which the inhabitants are
to be exempt for three years, to make up for the
voids made by the leves effected under the
preceding reign and the other suppressing several
branches of taxation. 1t is said that the Emperor
being much struck by the heavy losses lately caused

QARRREL BETWEEN FRANCE AND RUssGA.-Mar-
settles, Oct. 23.- A nice little quarrel has arisen
between France and Russia, such as in the
good olden time might have led to an i'm
mediate war, and in regard to which the
newspapers have observed a discreet 81
ence. 1t appears that, early in last June strong
Russian police force, backed by two hundred Cos
sacks invaded the dwellings of sixty three French
tradesmen settled in Sebastopo, arrested and con-
veyed them on board of Russian vessel, the Baa
klava,) which transported them to Odessa, where
they left without resources, and many of them
plunged into the deepest state of distress month
before that occurrence, the Cossacks had seized
four French workmen and marched them on foot like
felons, to Simferpol. The reasons of this expulsion
of so many respectable persons, and the gounds on
which Russia could justify such violation of in
ternational law, as well the laws of humanity,
exposing the property of unoffending French sub
ects to plunder and confiscation, one can tell.
The Russian Government is bent on observing an
absolute silence, and appears impervious to all re-
monstrance.

TURKEY.
A despatch from Constantinople says that Lord
Stratford de Redcfe had laid the first stone of an
English Protestant Church, and in doing mad
declared that the building would be a monument
commemorative of the support given by England
to Turkey in preserving the integrity of her terri
tory. The names of the British who perished in
the late war are to be inscribed tables placed
in the church. The noble Lord was to leave on the

BOSNIA.
The Vienna correspondent of the Times, writing
on the 22d October, says: "The news of there
having been disturbances in Bosnia is fully confirm
eQ. A large quantity Oh cartridges anu many uHs
were smugged into Bosnia from Servia, and forci-
Bile attempt made by the Turks of Svorik to
obtain possession of them, but the assailants were
repulsed with loss by the Rayahs On the 9th
there was also conflict between the Mussumans
and Christians at Gradacach, in the Posavina, and
among the slain was certain Reschid Bey Ora
daschevitscn, a notorious oppressor of the Christ
ians. The last news is that 900 to 10000 armed
Rayahs are assembled in three camps, and positive
ly refuse to pay anything more to their teudal
lords. great number of old men, women and
children Christians have crossed the frontier in
to Austria at Somac. In the village of Obudo-
watch sixteen Mussulmans were beheaded, and the
country houses (konak.) of many of the Beys have
been burned to the ground. kiani Pacha has sent
500 men, under Achmed Pacha, against the insur-
gents, and he is about to follow with 1000 5000
Mussuman volunteers.
AFRICA.
THE CHRISTIANS MoRoCCo.-The position of the
few Christians in Morocco appears to be exceeding
ly critical. The following is extract from let
ter received from Mr. Barrow, the British consul
at Rabat bearing date September l, 1853: "Fanat-
icism is daily and visibly gaining ground. Our
houses are now secured as well as bars, bolts and
firearms can make them. Communications between
the French viceconsuls and merchants, and my
ce-consulate, are opened, so that IN moment OF
danger all would come to my house, which is the
most secure and easily defended And in that little
gloomy room over the entrance, where your bag
gage was placed, l have collected about twenty
pounds of pOwder-choosng rather, if it be Gods
will, that all who dear to me should thus perish
than risk the horror of seeing their lives cut away
piecemeal, their persons desecrated, and their
mains thrown to the dog.
