Of early passion retain their original eoorng through all
the perpexies Of royal life Prince Albert had no taste
for the colonization and pomp which surround throne
His habits were those of quiet English gentleman,
prcferTing the charms OF the country TO the eNctement
OF society and postponng both the demands Of public
duty The present biography though written under tho
eye OF the Queen and often berayng her influence is
whnlesome record Of a lust and ceanly life.

A DISPATCH from Sistova states that
an important engagement was fought on the
Goth ult., near Rustchuk, between the Czaro-
with and Ahmed Eyoub Pasha. The Turk.
ish corps were completely routed with loss
of 90 guns, 10 standards and about 5000
prisoners.
In consequence of the revolutionary
tendencies in Russia, of the Slavophils, the
government has temporarily exiled Aksa-
kotf the chief of the Moscow society.
RUSSIA wants transportation for 5000
prisoners of war.
SULEIMAN PAsHA has been defeated at
Kara -Buhar. He lost ten guns, and his army
is retreating on Adrianople.
THE Russians DESTROYED six railway
bridges between Samboli and Philippopolis.
TWELVE thousand Russians are at
Osman Bazaar. The Russians also occupy
Kasan, at the foot of the northern slope of
the Balkan Mountains.

Three brigades of foot artillery with forty
eight guns each, and ten batteries of Cos
sack artillery with sixty guns have already
arrived at Titles. The Russian artillery there
will shortly be reinforced by 240 guns, and
only then Eill fresh advance be attempted
into Armenia, in order to gain some fortified
places before winter sets in.
The Turkish garrison have entirely
evacuated Nisch and left for Safea
ALL outlying forts around Nicsics
have been captured by the Montenegrins.
The fortress of Nicsics itself alone holds out
The Russian army of Rustchuk has
advanced to the line of LON river, touching
the Danube at Phrgos, and is slowly wheel
ing on that pivot to invest the fortress.
Nearly 10 600 men are now 1ammed into the
angle between the Danube and Lom. The
Turks abandoned the line of the Lom with
out fighting. 1t is believed that they have
retired to Rustchuk.
A RUSSIAN official dispatch from
Tirnova, conceding the defeat of Plevna,
gives the Russian loss at two colonies and
fourteen inferior officers killed, and one
general and thirty-six inferior officers
wounded, and ,S7S men placed hors du COM
bat. Gen. Schneider has retired to the Bella
road.
FORT VIR, at the southern entrance of
Duga Pass, with a garrison of sixty Turks,
surrendered after few hours lombard
ment.
IT is confirmed that the Russians have
been defeated near Kalofer, consequently
mems minds are becoming calmer at Philip
popolis.
LIEUT.-GEN. MEHMET ALI telegraphs
from Shumla accounts of several minor af-
fairs, all tending to show that the Turks are
beginning to oppose advances on Adrianople.

preme along the Delaware, Lackawanna and

whereas the best eight marksmen of the

a NEW YORK dispatch of the 25th
inst, says: One of the serious results of the
present strike is the stoppage of food on its
way here, and especially meat. Five hun
dred cars containing 5000 head of cattle ar
rive at this market on the average every
week at this season. Since last Friday only
eight cars have come in, being but LA
beeves. The price Of beef, in consequence
has risen three cents per pound and should
the blockade continue it will go still higher.
THERE is great distress at Baltimore,
owing to the blockade of coal and oil trains.
Large numbers of vessels with charters to
load coal and oil are lying in waiting, and
the demurrage will prove a heavy item !;
added to this there are hundreds of dock
laborers thrown out of employment and af-
fairs wear gloomy appearance.
