The amount of these indemnities.wss immediately transmitted through the Ministry of Foreign Afliiirs to the Caisse des Depots ct Cousi nations, which is charged to it to the di erent parties. The claims of the owners of the Louise-Marie, of Havrc. and the Java, of Bordeaux, as also that of M. .\Ioulot, of‘the Edouard, have so been difinitively liquidated.” . A U S T B A L I A .

RUSSIA AND runxnv. The Turkish army in Bosnia are about to march into Servia, and a brid is bein thrown across the l)aina. The Ser_visn popu ation is , much agitated, and preparing to defend the territory. The Turks continue tooccupy the ‘ V island of Rutschnk. Letters from Constantinople, dated 10th in- stant, give some details with respect to the . lane of Omar Pacha, which do not leave a cube of the fact that the operations at 0|ten- itza were a more feigned attack, intended to deceive Prince Gortschukoff as to his rea intentions. The plan has perfectly succeeded; for while the Russian general has concentrated 'liis troops round Bucharest, thinkin that that ~ was the point threatened, Omer Puc a has very different objects in view. It is believed that he was combining his troops, so as to attack the division of General Laden in Bossarabia; and it is also believed that the object of tbe0ttouian Government in sending its fleet into the Black Sea is to co-operate with the land forces in that ’ attack. It appears that the first successes of . of the Turkish Covermeut. ' than it would have been a mouth a Omer Pacha ave added immensely to the hopes With their success- es the ooirragc of the Turks rises, and it would now be more ditiicult to bring them to terms They not only declare their full determination to run all the chances of the war, but speak of the terms which they were latel ready to grant toRussia as now being out of t e question. So confiden does the whole nation now feel of success that it would require nothing less than a conipleto and irretrievable disaster to induce them to accede to peace on any more mild terms than an indemnity from Russia, and the revision of all the treaties that have been concluded be- tween Russia and Turkey for the last century --treaties which they consider as the primary causes of all their misfortunes. The appointment of Faud I:‘.Il'endi, asCoinmis- sioner to the army of Omar Pacba, has given great dissatisfaction to the Wallaohians. and who, notwithstanding his quarrel with Prince Mcnshikofl. took upon him as a Russian agent. It is Fund Eficndi who is considered responsible ‘for the disastrous convention of Balta Liman ;in 1848, the efi'ect of which. according to the . Wullachiaus has been to make the Moldo-Wal-, lachian principalities little better than Russian ' provinces. Prince Gortschakoff has ordered a Roman. Catholic chapel at Bucharest to he closed. It has been stated that the Emperor of Russia, in reply to an enquiry ofAustria, states that he will still enter into negotiations, if the Ports: proposes a project of peace. Considerable reinforcements from the fron- tiars of Poland are being sent to the Bussisn .,army in Asia. . A private letter from Odessa states that a Russian uadron, consisting of three ships of the line, five frigates, and several steamers, have left Sebastopol, in consequence of die Turkish ships of war having been seen in the, Black Sea.

'. - The present aspect of affairs seems calcu- lated to occasion '- considerable suspense. It appears beyond question that the Turks maintained their position at Oltenitza with the utmost intrepidity, and that neither in science nor discipline id they evince any inferiority to their assailants. Omar Pasha could on y be dislodged from the left bank of the Danube by the concentration of the whole Russian force in the Pi-incipalities, and, even before this demonstration, e retreated without loss and without disho- nour. If the retirement of the Turks had been extended to all the divisions of their army, affairs would now be reduced to near- ly the same position as that of last month,- Russians and Ottomans being arrayed in Wallachia and Bulgaria respectively, pre- pared for war, but with the Danube between them. There still, however, remains a strong Turkish detachment at Kaltifat, s. place which has been recently fortified with intreuchments and field-works, which I- sesscs a secure communication with id- din, and which can be occupied ‘at pleasure by as many additional troops as mar Pasha may decide on throwing across. Al- ready the force in this quarter is considera- bly more powerful than_ at which He the Russians so much ‘troub e at Oltcliitza, and the position itself, as hesbccn oflen remark- ed, is one of great strategical importance. It is, consequently, by no means improbable that Prince Gortschakolf may direct his operations against this point, either after the reinforcements from Josey have reached him, or with the army which is new con- centrated _ bctweenphcnitxa upd Bucharest. As the bi-ks can command .,s'_uccours from their ontiroforce, by means at‘ tbo‘commu- . nication at Wlddin, we fmay' ‘possibly hear of a dcaisiveongugemcnt in_ these parts; nor is it uiifikoly, indeed’ ths_l.0mar eshs moy i-spout his attacks other parts of the Danube,-.whcn.the stren h of his adversary been ' Leer Wallachis.

By treaty the King is bound to grant no commercial advan- tages to other nations beyond those enjoyed by England and France, and any act on his part which would result in the free admis- sion of American goods, and the imposition of‘ increased duties on those of other coun- tries, must, consequently, be a violation of these conditions, whether it takes place by annexation or any other means. The ship- ping trade with the islands, in case of such a step, would likewise then come under the restrictions ofthe American coasting trade.

Tris Euscriiic Tr:i.r:Giisi=i-i COMPANY.— This cotnpany have made another attempt to throw across their cable from the lrisli to the Scotch coast, which has resulted in another very disastrous failure ! It would really seem flint they are fated to endure disappointments which would blast the hopes of ineu of moderately sanguine tempera- ment. Whether it has been the state of the weather, or the mismanagement of their‘ own officials, every cfl'oi-t which they have yet made to place themselves on a footing with their more successful, and apparently more skilful, oompetitoi-s—the Magnetic Compnny—lias provcd abortive, and they now stand in a position little in advance of that which they occu ied eight or ten months ago. On Tue ay‘ the cable of the Company was ‘f paid out" from a steamer which took its departure from Nillisle for the Scotch qoast, but the ‘vessel had not proceeded more than four miles seaward when lo‘! the cable again gave way to the great consternation of all on board. The vessel again returned to the shore, and no other attempt has since been made to lay down the cable. These repeated failures are'rcully extraordinary, and do not augur well for the position which this Company will hold in the public coiifidence.—.N'orlh- em ig.

Turns on two books as our table of which we have too long dolsysd giving same account to our readers. Ose of them “The Wesiminslov Review" for October last. is one of the best numbers of that able periodical that we have lately seen. It contains several well-wriiiu articles. " Religion in Italy ” will prove interesting and instiuciivo to those who lake an iniereot—snd who does not .’—iu the probable fats of the ones Ifistross of the World. “The Pro- gress of I’iction as an Art " we have not read, having been attracted by the article " Partnership with limit- ed liability," well worthy of a perusal by all who wish to see the fstters. which the ignorance of our ancestors were in the habit of imposing upon com- merce, struck of. It is s subject of the first import- ance to all cominunitios, but confessedly to a young and rising country. sbouuding in natural resources but limited in capital wlicrswiih to bring ihesc into sciion. We inland to avail ourselves of some of the arguments and illustrations. “ The Book of Job " is a splendid piece of criticism upon that incomparable poem; with its religious tendencies we attempt not to meddle,- losviiig every man to his own conviction,—but to those who wish to have their enjoyment in the read- ing of the Book of Job heightened. and much of its obscurity dispelled. we would recommend the perusal of this article. " The School claims of Languages," like the article on Partnership. has received our best attention. The question between the preference to be given to either, in teaching the Ancient and Modern Languages, is well discussed; and we trust to be able to bring it before our readers at no very distant period. " German mysticism in the Hit: century” will please lhnse who delight in the mysterious and obscure. " The Universal Posuilsie," on ihs contrary, will prove attractive to those in search of Truth, divested of all lhst is either mythic or mysiorious. Short as is the article on the “ Progress of Russia," it is yet sufficiently long to shew the systematic and wall- direcicd efforts of that Power to increase its dominioii over the surrounding countries. and merits attention at this particular juncture. The Review is accompanied hy the usual notices of the “Contemporary Literature of England. America, Germany and France." The other " The Anglo American Magazine," published at Toronto,by Thomas MacLear.4b Yongc street, is a highly respectable publication, and we regret that we have not seen it before. We perceive by the October and November Numbers before us, that it has advanced as far as No. 5 of the 8d volunis, and as it is always diflicult, almost impossible to pro- nounce correctly upon the merit of articles of which we have not seen the commencement, we shall not atlempt it. The War of I812, ‘I3, '14 reaches to chapter II. The Chronicles of Drcepdaily are in number I7, and ifsll are as humorous as No. 18, we do not wonder at the Magazine having an extensive circulation. We would heartily recomnisnd it, as containing, besides the usual mslauge iiiucli local and critical information under the head of “ The hidi- tor’s Shsuly." The price is $8 per sniisin. Tiis Royal_ Gazette attacks as with the usual polite and gentlemanly language. by the use of which it is peculiarly known and distinguished. We think we recognize “Obscrvcr" now, and beg to inform him that as nothing reputable can, in our opinion, emanate from such a source, we are perfectly indif- ferent as to what be either says or writes concerning us. “ Fair Play” is another of the sums stamp, and as he merits so he will receive from us the same con- tempt. So much for them. The Hon. W. W. Lord is entitled, from his having put his own nenie to his leller. lo be treated with somewhat more of courtesy. Mr. Lord ought not to find fault with the expression made use of by us with respect to his having been ap- pointcd a Commissioner lo enquire into the causes of the loss of the Fairy Queen. We reiterate that the Government had no right to appoint hini,aud he ought to have refused the appointment. Mr. Lord is the owner of a number of vessels. and is, we take it, in the habit of insuring, and of course must know some- llling of the practice of Insurance Ofliccs upcu occu- sions of loss. And let us suppose the Fairy Queen had been insIired,and adoubt had arisen with respect to her oosworihinoss: would ilie Insurance Company have been likely to have appointed Mr. ‘Lord as a proper person to repair to the spot and report on the slate of reaworthiners in which the vessel went to sea, or as to the causes which led to her loss 2 Or would they have considered any report as coming from him who was the agent at the moment of the loss, and had been one of those upon whose recom- mendrtion lhe vessel bail been employed. as worthy of being relied upon? Suppose Mr. Lord had volun- teered to become the Commissioner of the Insurance Company, would not the Directors have said to him, “ Mr. Lord. you‘, ought to know that appointing you would be highly improper; and we must candidly tell you. that harsh as (1 may sum, no reliance can be placed upon anything that may come from you, who are an irilernled party, who stand in the place of the owner. We might as well appoint Mr. Whitney himself, if he were here, as vou, his representative.

If Mr. Lord isoffendod with that paragraph, it is without reason. We can make allowances, too, for Mr. Lord's misapprehension of his reception at the Public Hosting alluded to. We qualified our account of it by alluding to " the excise- ment of the moment." There was some attempt made, as Mr. Lord rules, to put him down; but Mr. Lord seems to have forgotten that the parties making the attempt were almost immediately silouead, and that be was heard, and repostodly board; sad we have since been ‘uiforslod,snd we believe that it was ‘X’ the csso— though it escaped our memory at the time --‘that Mr. Lord expressed his thanks to'tlIo meeting for the opportunity that had been gives to him of peb- Ilcly vindiciiling his oharaetu.

The learned lecturer improved the subject in s very interesting manner, -—dsnouacisig the many evils incorporated and inscparsbly connected with igno- |'I|'|¢°.—mIlting s forcible and animated appeal to parents to discharge their parental duties sriglii, and to offer svcry facility to their children for reading and storing the mind with truly useful knowledge. The lecturer also look occasion to sxpstiets at some length on the benefit and necessity of a School Library; and afler iheir feelings were raised to the required uuith, a previously prepared Constitution was read and rose- lutions were submitted for instituting a Juvenile School Library; many names were enrolled, and all prslinii. nsrier arranged. A Managing Committee was elect- ed; ii President, Vice President, Librarian, Secretary and Treasurer were uppoinIed;—and thus a Library, to be designated the “ Anglo Ruslicc School Library" was constituted the Is! day of December 1858. Sue- cess to the enterprise and laudable spiritiiflhe Anglo- Saxon Rusticsus!—Msy they speed in their endeavors for the benefit of the young and rising generation. It is scarcely two years since the first move was made for defining this district and of erecting ihe School House; while those interested therein were few and for between. Now they hsvc—wheie trees and bushes then slood—a substantial. comfortable School House, well finished and well furnished. Here may be seen suspended lo the nicely plastered walls a large Map of the llcinispheres. the Terrerlrisl Glfibe, a Thermometer for regulating Illa temperature of the room, a Book-case well filled with books, and much other School furniture, that give it really a pre- possesring appearance. What a useful acquisition will the School Library be! I cannot conclude without contributing my share of the just tribute of praise due to the able and experi- enced Teacher, Mr. Roberts, who improves every opportunity, and takes the lead in all preiseworthy exertions for llie benefit of the young; marshalling his willing ranks, and stimulating them to renewed exer- tion. The inhabitants of this district were surely very fortunate in securing the talents and experience of Mr. Roberts in opening their new schcol—a period when inexperience might have proved its rain. The present prosperous stats of their school is mainly attributable to his exertions.
