THE WAR IN THE EAST—RUSSIA DECLARES WAR— ¥IGBTING IN BUROPM AND ASIA--THE FLERTS AT CONSTANTINOPLE. Lorpon, Friday, Nov. 11, 1853. If any doubts still exist in the minds of your read- ‘ers as to the reality of war between Turkey and Baussia, the news by the present mail will dispel them altegether. I have already informed you that Omer Pasha had commenced hostilities on the Danube before the like, so much so that Kisseleff, the Ruagian ambas- sador, hinted that he should be compelled to demand his passports if their tone did not change. Constantinople is perfeotly tranquil. Rice is admitted free of duty into the States of the Zollervein on and efter the 10th inst. Lonpon, Nov. 11—6 P. M. The Russians Defeated by the Turks—News of Decisive Battle hourly Etpected—The Revolution- ary Spits Aroused, §c., §c. I know from two official sources that the Russians are getting beat in the Danubian Principalities. It appears now certain that they have but 32,000 men in fighting concition, whilst Omer Pasha is superior in number and effectiveness. The Turkish General bas displayed great strategic skill by deceiving Prince Gortschakoff completely as to his movements. He crossed the Danube in four places, and marched towards the headquarters of the Russians with only 12,000 men, apparently. This was to invite an at- tack with the whole force of the enemy, which has taken place; but instead of 12,000 men, Omer Pasha had hurried up for the occasion some 20,000 more— and at the same time an attack in the flask and rear was likely made by the Tarkish troops who had @ounter-order of the Porte reached him.’ That ebunter-order was sent in the hopes of an arrange- Ment. Since then, not a day has passed without an action of some sort between the hostile armies. I will now string you together the telegraphic news which has been received since last mail, from the ‘theatre of war:— ‘The Vienna Presse confirms the intelligence of the arri wal of 7,000 Turks at Kalefat, and of the advance of the Jett wing of the Turkish army, besides 8,000 of the Turk- dah reserve from Sophia. The vanguard, under Namik Pasha and General Prim, Bad a nerious conflict with 2,600 Russian cavalry, betwoen Kale‘at aud Krajowa. The affair lasted two hours, when ‘the Rw sians retreated towards Slatina. ‘Phe following despatch, dated Bucharest, Nov. 2, has Deen recvived:—Yesterday 800 or 1,000 Tarks appeared at ‘and bon:barded Giurgewo. A fight ensued along shore; + geveral Russians and Tarks were killed, and civilians . The Turks proceeded up the river.

It says: Ehave received fresh information from the seat of war, which coniirms the news contained in the despatsh of the Turki-: embassy. The pascage of the Turks at Wiiin, asalco the occupation of Kalefat, was only a diversion. ‘Tho priv ipal body of the Turkish army crossed tie Da- qube at O.tenitzs, between Silistria and Ruschtschus, and atier 4 desperate action, which lasted four houra, mained masters o! position. I need hardly say that kere the rews is considere { of the utmost import: ance.” Cobrerva,” he adds, ‘that all the news which ome from England and Germany, speaks of the progress f 14" Hetions and the certainty of pesce. Here, also, ‘the public in gereral j in ix the same opinion; but I am Bouns to say that in political quarters » change is taking Place. Not only is the language of the ministerial journals siolen! in hostility against Russia, but men in vilice” and that clv-sof personages who form their opinions by what they bx 'ieve to be agiceable in high places, are beeoming ‘qvery ‘rj less measured in their language. A few days thy fir peror, in speaking of the position of affatra to Teprecentative of one of che Itelien States, said, 7 . we should not have a general war tll 1865 or BSG. but now J think otherwise, We have now A fovoraiie portunity, ot i faut marcher.”” But it is not im words alone that the disposition of the authorities to be prepared for war suows itself. I have reason to believe het ofs meeting of the generals forming the war com mittee, which wae held a short time since at the office of ‘the Minister of War, it was decided that twenty new bat- ; Aalions ©! Chasseurs de Vincennes should be formed, and | ‘that ¢ crew battalion should be added to each regiment of ‘the line 1a the service If this resolutioa be carried out to the I+ ctor, the eflect of it will be to increase the French @rmy }. vearly one third, Besides, if we are to believe | ‘those ho are supposed to know the precise nature of the Gastrncticns given to General Baraguay d’Hilliera, they are not by any means pacific, and the verbal instructions ‘gre atili less co than the written iostr:ctio, Indeed, ‘the s+] © on of an officer of General d’Hilliera’s character fo repr-+ent France at Constantinople at such a moment, shows tt« feeling which animates the government.

A bridge and fete lz pont had been con troct-s at Kalfeat, which served as the basis of the tieoa of the Turkish army. The Russian corps of terg oppored to the Tarts at this point numbered from 33+: %: to 40,000 men, and was spread en eciclon be- ‘tween Ks iova and Siatina. ‘The ‘atest news from Constantinople is to the 3d | November, The Haglish and French flects were then at anchor in the Bosphorus. The Engiish and French Admirals were at Constantinople. Their presence had given an immense moral strength to the Turkish cause. I have on my table letters from officers at Omer Pacha’s headquarters; they speak in the highest (erms of the discipline and enthusiasm of the Tarks. Nor are their operations confined to the Danub:. Hostilities have commenced in Asia, and the Turks have taken by storm the town of Cherkedy. | A Polish and an Hangarian legion are under for- mation Ail the fighting men of 1848 are hurrying om to tlc East.

It is quite true that England Westi!! suxions that peace shall be proclaimed, but nly v ‘ccms honorable to Turkey. The reports of @ peace congress at London, and all that sort of thing, sre, however, pure fabrications. The best reply «thom is the declaration of war by the Empe For Niewlas. ‘Thi- «: cs not look like hamility or concession, and 4 the sword may now be said to be drawn iu good earncs*.

News is every hour expected in London of a de- cisive battle, which will decide the campaign. The rempant of the Russian army will be driven into Moldavia and scattered, and the Turks will quietly take up their winter quarters at Bucharest, lately the headquarters of the too-presumptuous Muscovites. I ssy this will be the end of the campaign, for the rainy season is setting in, and no more Russian armies can be marched into the Principalities this winter. All Europe is amazed at this unexpected result, and expressions of popular feeling are break- ing out loudly and enthusiastically. Latt night at the grand opera at Paris, the audience cheered the Turks, which is the liberal side, strange to say, and vehement cries of “Down with the Russians,” were uttered. What will happen in the spring it is hard to tell. The Emperor of Russia will hardly put up quietly with such a humiliation as he has received, but England and France are fully decided to go to work in the spring it Russia don’t leave off bullying, and stay “to hum.’ I refer you to the Morning Post of this day, which contains accurate intelligence, supporting the infor- mation I now send you. The Zimes, you see, is taken all aback by the defeat of the Russian army, which they predicted was going to gobble up poor Turkey without remorse. The revolutionary party all over Europe is wide awake, and do not be as- tonished if you hear that Hungary is up again. In that case, Italy and Germany will take another pull at the same rope, and we shail see quesr things and doings. I rend you the war proclamation of his Majesty of all the Russias. It is high time for him to declare war, when his army of invasion has been beaten. Ishould also state—and nobody else is able to state it—that all the Cabinets of Europe have just received a circular from Count Nesselrode, declaring that his august master is going to fight it out. It is no use talking or writing any more; for if Russia don’t fight, and fight better, she'll get licked clean out of the Principalities, aud out of sight too. Don't you think so? Prince Gortschakofl has written a letter, it ap- pears, to the famous Priucess Lieven, at Paris, to gay, “he wishes to God he was out of the scrape.” It isridiculous, after so much boasting, to see Rus- sia used up s0 quickly by the “circumcised aud tur- bancd Turks,” as Othello calls the infidele. + New Yorxgr.

The Journal de St Petersburg, of the 1st of Nov- ember, publishes an imperial manifesto, in which it is said, that since Russia bas been provoked to war, nothing is left to her but to have recourse to force of arms, in order to compel the Ottoman Porte to res- pect the treaties. The Russian arms must now ex- act satisfaction for the insults which Turkey re- plied to the Czar's most moderate demands in his Joyal sclicitude for the defence of the or‘hodox Church in the East. After various fluctuations, the Paris Bourse closed upon the 10th with a decline on the previous day’s prices. The three per cents closed at 73f. 0c. for the end of the month, and the four and a half per sents at 90f. 75c. From Belgrade, October 24, we learn that detach- men's of the Austrian troops keep a cloze watch on the Servian frontier. The concentration of a large corps on that frontier is mentioned as probable. Advices from St. Petersburg of the 25th ult., in the Dresden Journal, contain some details of the military preparations in that country. Besides the three corps im the Danubian Principalities and Bes- sarabia, there is a fourth (moveable) corps in Volhy- nia and Podolia, and large masses of troops are con- centrated in other places. At Krementshuck are eight regiments of curassiers and four regiments of lancers, apd eight regiments of dragoons are sta- tioned at Charkow. Besides these, there are nume- rous pulks of Cossacks ready to take the field. Large bodies of troops, too, are marching to reinforce the army urder Prince Woronzoff. The combined fleets had not reached Con stantinople on October 27. This city was perfectly tranquil. The robber chief Yanni was to be sent from Smyrna to be tried by the Supreme Court. It is asserted that he ia a secret agent of Russia. There appears now to be little doubt but that a good pitched battle bas been fought, and that “ the invicible’ Russians bave retreated with loss, tive. You Il see that the peace of all Earope hangs by eat number of English officers left town this Shumla, to watch the progress of the war, Moet ot ‘em are men who havo served in the wars im Ind 4, «t Chiliannwalla and Sabraon.

It says that reports were earrent (vat a Russian army is invading Kiva and Boobs; that Russia has entered into an alliance ‘with |) «¢ Mahomed and with Persia, and that a large Persiay ormy has assembled in the valley of Sooltania, for th. purpose of co-operating with Rassia against Turkey. On the other hand, it is stated that as soon || @athe Shah of Persia was informed of the attitude gamamed by France and England, he declined enter “fag into a treaty with Russia. : fc ‘There is a Russian fleet sneaking about the Baltic. ‘The lavguage of the French journals is very war although there were only 12,000 Turks opposed to 25,000 to 45,000 Ruesians. Fourteen superior offi- cers are reported as killed; therefore, by the or dirary computation, it is but fair to prosame that some two hundred inferior officers shared a similar fate, in the company of seven thousand men, to eay nothing of the wounced. [t appears that Omer Pasha hitshard. That this battle has been won apd well won by the Turks, thece cannot be a shad- ow cf ‘doubt, as the flag of the crescent waves proudly nm the battle field. Further rumors report that the right wing of the Rassian army, under Gen- eral Dannenberg, (probably this very force,) had ex. perienced acheck This news is from the party of the Czar, and is at ali events corroborative. A letter from Galaty, of the 29th ult, states that fears are entertained there of the approach of the Turks, as there is no Russian garrison in the town. There sre 12,000 of the Russian troops in hospitals through the Prinefpalities. The Russian Ambassador in Paris has, it appears, manifested an amount of indecorous irritation, having expressed bimself with exasperated warmth, during an interview with the Minister for Foreiga Affairs, on the general question of the East, but more par- ticularly with reference to the articles in one or two of the ministerial papers, Which have recently assumed a decidedly hostile tone when speaking of Ruzsin’. It is supposed that the real cause of the an- gry feeling which breaks out “de temps en temps,” is to be fouird in the nomination of General Baraguay d’Hilliers to tite embassy at Constantinople. The files of Paris papers per this mail are highly interesting, acd detailed accounts of three or four engagements, advantageous to the Turks, will be found. Wednesday, Lord Mayor's show day, passed off with the usual amount of accidents and impediment to business. The banquet in the evening, at Guild- hall, was truly a magnificent affair, and nearly two thousand guests partook of the new efvic functiona- ry’s hospitality. The finest speech cf the evening (compliments apart,) was made by Mr. Buchanan, the worthy representative of your great republic, After the toast of the “ Army and Navy” bad been responded to, the Lord Mayor propoeed “ Tho healths of the foreign Ministers presen’, and a hearty welcome to them ;” and he hoped, when they returned to their own countries, they would there sustain that good opinion of the city of London which the citizens were desirous to maintain. There ‘was no city whatever that was more interested in the peace of the world than the city of London. He begged to propese “ The Foreign Ministers,” and he would call upon his excellency the American Minis- ter to respohd to the toast. Mr. Buchanan—who had evidently attended to the. instructions of President Pierce, while his diplomatic colleagues were resplendent with gold lace, &c., alone appeared in plain evening dress—was received with loud cheers. He said :— will be a relief orly to be fully appreciated by par- ties coxwected with the navigation of the port. From ‘he favorable level of the land, which is seven feet under high water mark, its low coat and abundance of good brick clay, these extensive works will be completed fora reaps He small outlay. ‘The existing docks, north of the Tnames, comprise 160 water acres, and, with their respective ware- houses, bave cost nearly £3,000,000 sterling, whereas the Victoria docks, when carried to completion, will amount to 257 water acres, and will cost, with the warehouses described and 200, surplus acres, about £1,100,000, or, at all events, under £5,000 per water acre, being in the ratio of one-twelfth part. In fact, a8 respects unity and grandeur of design, extent of accommodation, and economy of construction, this great undertaking has no ei. The eminent contractors, Messieurs Peto, , and Brassey, have engaged to purehase the land, to complete the docks and warehouses as described, and to bear every ex- pense whatever, inciuding five per cent interest on the calls until the docks are opened, for the sum above stated. They are bound to deliver ie Eee cok ad a ingen complete and ready for e688 e lst January, 1865, which Gate there isn> doubt, wil be punctually adiered to. The same parties have also offered to accept a lease of the docks for twenty-one years from thet date, paying a clear dividend of 5 per cent on the entire outlay, with an equal divisica of surplus pro fits, giving security for £160,000. This offer stands over for acceptance or rejection untii ths 1st Decem- ber, 1854; and 2s it affords an unquestionable guar. antee of a good rate of interest, with e reason- able prospect of considerable eddition in the shape of half profits, it is generally understood that the pro- position will be accepted. There are probably no other parties in whom could be found the fiaancial ers to8 rasp 80 vast & conceal somyi net wid the spirit and energy necessary to develope its varied re- sources to their full extent. The trade of London has a suffered for the want of sufficient dock ac- commodation, and the exorbitaut charges levied by On behalf of the foreign ministers and myself, I bog to | the existing dock companies. There is every reason return you my cordial and hearty thanks for the h ieve Pe honor which "you have conferred upon the diplomatic | t@ believe that Messrs. Peto & C mpany will see it their true interest to open the Victoria at a great re- duction, and it is highly probable they ay adopt the Liverpool scale as a standard. Thi will be a great encouragement to the trade of the metropolis, and also to all Yaukee merchants, Asit is obvious thatseparate rates cannot long co-exist in the same port, no doubt the reduction will ere long become general. The directors of the Victoria Dock Company are Mr. Haywood, the banker of Liverpool, chairman; Mr. Morrison, of the firm of Morrison, Dillon, & Co., deputy-chairman; Admiral Moorsoom and Mr. Wad- dington, (as representing the at railways con- nected with the docks;) your Mr. George Peabody, and other eminent London eapitalists. It is under- stood that the parties officially connected with the company hold by far the largest amount of the stock. Last night, the first of the present series of Wind- sor’s theatricals came off, with Mr. Phelps, the eminent tragedian and lessee of Saddler’s Wells, as Henry 5th. It appears that we are not to have an English opera at Drury Lane theatre the commencemont of next year, owing to a dispute between Mr. E. T. Smith, the lessee of that establishment, and Messieurs y and Case, the operatic entrepreneurs. We are to have instead, Mr. G. V. Brooke, under the com- mand of Mr. Wilton Hall, on the 30th of January, after the pantomime has had a run of five weeks. Mr. G. V. Brooke will again do his round of Shaks- perean parts, alternating many with Mr. E. L. Da- venport, a great favorite here, and a decidedly first- rate legitimate actor. Mr. Smith hassecured a good company, consisting of Messrs. H. Sterling, (the ex- cellent stage-manager,) Mead, George Beanett, Bel- ton, Younge, Wilde, and Mesdames Lewis, Feather- stone, and Ormonde, as well as a so-styled ‘“anony- mous actress.” The fairer portion of this corps is decidedly weak. In the early part of March we are promised an American version of the “Corsican Brothers,” in five-acts, containing an innumerable quantity of “ ghost effects.” However, those who live the longest, will see and hear the most. Mr. F. W. Allcroft is doing wonders at the little Strand theatre; indeed, all the houses (the Lyceam except- ed) are doing well. A strange quarrel was the other day decided in Paris, before the Tribunal of Commerce-—Mr. Thibau- deau, d rector of the Vaudeville theatre, being the plaintiff, Mdile.

(Loud cheers. How widely different is the organization of these two countries—England and Russia? While the former is the ruling centre of the uni- verse, realising a solid, permanent, and brilliant supremacy—the home at once of the arts, sciences, literature, and a refined civilization—Russia ia ina semi barbarous state, bound in the chains of slavery, and having neither literature, nor science, nor arts, nor civilization ; enthralled beneath despotism, cursed, instead of blessed, with a church that is rank and 81 but choked with corruption, and having a population of 20,000,000, who are but white slaves, liable to be bought and sold. Her dominant, all- absorbing idea, moreover, is conquest—and Nicholas, ike another Jerghiz-khan, or Timour, pants to rubjugate the finest provinces of Europe and Asia beneath his barbaric, but colossal sway. This poli- cy, we are very sure, will be crushed by the Western wers with almost ag much ease as that of Tuscany or Nuples; but, nevertheless, as Russia, from her position, physical resources, milt ardor, and re- igious fanaticiem, is always in hostility with natioas that derive sheir whole prosperity from the arts of peace, the probability of her tinding an Emperor endowed with the wild beastlike ruthless qualities of a Jenghiz-khan, Tamerlane, Bajazet, or Mahemst Ali, is so strong, and is so forcibly felt by every government in southern and western Europe, we can scarcely wonder that Russia, so huge, so im- pulsire, poe! 1 and ambitious, shou'd constantly be eld in dread, and her every movement vigilantly watched. Her designs on Turkey, which have long been eherished, and must sooner or later most cer- tainly be realized, are all so many indications of her ee and propensities—showing us that Rusala is still animated by no higher sentiment than that which in the middle ages precipitated count- lesp hordes of Moguls on China, India, and western Asia. Her people are as averse as ever to habits of economics! industry, exhibit the all-potency of the nomad propensity, and still show all the ferocity of the Tartar and the energy of the Scandinavian com- bined, with that eagerness for plunder and rapiae that chacacterized theis ignorant and brutal progeni- tora. Prudence, therefore, peremptorily demands that such a people should be heid in wholesome dread, and if possible confined within certain rigidty fixed limite. These latter, Europe is now endeavoring to accomplish, and this time, no donbt, the antes will be compelled to stifle their wrath and swallow the leek; but the time will ere long—nay, must come, when Turkey shall fall unregretted into the grave, epfeebled by the same over refinement and licen- tioneness which destroyed the Exstern empire of Rome, and the once mighty power of the Mogals. The glass’ manufacturers of Birmingham have brought out a new and singular invention, in the shape of win¢ow-eashes made of eee with bars moulded in several lengths, and held together by polished steel rods rmnning through the centre and enclozed in fluted glass tubes, which have the effect of harmonising the bright surface of the metal with its outward covering-—the joints being concealed by close-fitting mioulded rings, and rendered perfectly air-tight. Jt may ony te conceived that such sash. es present great novelty in their appearance, admit a vastly, increased quantity of light, and are very easily cleaned, and are extremely durable, being far less liable to the casualties which attend on those of the ordinary construction. Doubtless our American friends, your readers, near- ly all of whom sre interested with the world’s com- merce, will peruse with intesest the following ac- count of the Victoria London docks, an extensive undertaking, the first portion of which is fast ap- proectae completion. Their interest will be pro- bly heighthened when they are aware that one of the principal capitalists connected with this most important work, is Mr. George Peabody, the wide world renowned and universally respected American merchont nud banker. ‘Tke Victoria Lonéon docks will be situated at the noith bank of the Themes, commencing at Bow Creek, a few hundred yards to the eastward of the East India dock, and will extend t Gualleon’s Reach, cceupying a tract of about three miles, ki Plaiztow Level. The works now in active pregress are a wet dock and tidal basin, affording toge ber about ninety acres of water accommodation, with upwards of a mile and a half of quay and wharf- age,to which will be added vanits Tad warehouses two stories high, equal to about eleven and a half superficial acres. The landing jetties and warchouses will be fitted with rails communicating wit) the North Woolwich branch of the Eastern Counties Railway, which will afford ready access to the heart of the city ; also the new cattle market in Copenhagen fields, as well as direct commusica- tion with all the metropolitan railways. The dock- gates will be res; pa 80 a 120 feet wide, render- ing them accessible to the largest clasa of stesmers, and affording protection from the dangers incidental to their lying at moorings ina tidal stream in the centre of a vast navigation. It is proposed, for the present, to confine the un- dertaking to the works thus described, with the addi- tion of a large up-town warehouse and whart, nearly adjoining the London Bridge, for the reception of merchandige reqviring inspection by purchasers, The goods will of course be conveyed there by lighters and steamtogs, and no position can be more central, or accessible by land and water, The com- ny are empowered by their act to construct two additional docks, and a tidal basin, comprising an extent of 167 acre:, and they have secured the requi- site land, with a surplus of 200 acres, which must eventually attain a high value; but, as their powers of constructions continue jor seven years, it is not proposed to proceed with these extensions at present, Kt is, however, intended that the central dock sitall te exclusively reseyved for steamers, and that the third, or last dock, shall be applied for the especial accommodation of the coal and timber trades, at low, bot still remunerative chu , there being reagon to believe that this object can be #o carrie out as to commend an influx of sbipping quite un: precedented.

List of Passengers—Log of the Bavaria-~Mel- bourne Intelligence—The Mines— Last Gold Circulars, &o., &., &e. The ship Bavaria, Captain Bailey, arrived at this port from Melbourne, Australia, at an early hour yes- terday morning, bringing eighteen cabin and fifteem steerage passengers. We are indebted to Mr. Perry, one of the passen- gers in the cabin, for files of the Melbourne Argus dated tothe 27th of August, and also to Messrs Adams & Co. for a prompt delivery of papers. The Bavaria brings 6,000 ounces of gold dust ta Messrs. Adams & Co., and there is about $120,000 im the hands of the passengers—every one returning rich—even the very sailors on board. One man, named Martin, has returned to Williama- burg, after a three weeks’ effort at the diggings, with @ good supply of the precious metal. Amongst the cabin passengers are Mr. W. Adama, bearer of despatches to the U. 8. government, Mra- and Miss Bailey, Mr. end Mrs. Perry and son, and Mra” Perry, senior, of New York; Captein Howes, late of bark Chicaro, of Dennis, Mass.; Dr. Caryngton and T. Fries, of Indiana; Messrs. Adams and Whiting, of Boston: Messes. Johnstone, Faville, and Clarke, of New York; Messrs. Taylor, of Anne Arbor, Michigan ; Gillman, of Wiseonsin; and Campbell, of Ohio. ‘The Bavaria brings the first direct mail from Aus- tralia to the port of New York. The'B. left this port, on her outward voyage, upom the 17th of Febrvary last, and-arrived at Melbourne "pon the 20th of May, when the passengers in the cabin presented Mr. Pickering, the first mate, with 8 valuable gold ring, as a testimonial of their esteem, after landing there. There was some dissatisfaction expressed by thens as to theirtreatment on the passage ont. On her return passage, the Bavaria™left Hob, son’s Bay upon the 30th of August, and Point Na- pean, Port Philip Heads, upon September 1, at four o'clock P. M. On September the 2d, Mr. W. Adams, bearer of despatches: to the United States government, came on board. The ship was in sight of New Zealand upon the 11th of September, and land was finally lost sight of at dark upon that evening. Cape Horn was made upon the 8th of October, when the B. passed the Swedish brig Anna Geor- gina, going south. Saw a large ship bound west same day. On October 10, half the distance between Mel- bourne and New York was run, and the Falkland Islands passed. Candia Monnela, an uninhabited rocky island, was in sight. October 26, spoke the British ship Countess of Durham, for Valparaiso, and saw a brig in the dia tance. On November 4, the passengers addressed Capt. B. relative to thé quality of the provisions on board. He refused to put into Pernambuco, as requested by them. At noon, upon November 6, the ship was six miles north of the equator. She experienced a equall of the southeast trade winds upon the sth of the same month. e Up to the 13th, had. the northeast trades, and upon the 19th the ship was three hundred and sixty- one miles from New York. . November 24, some of the passengers*towed te the John M. Minor, from New York for Mobile, and procured some vegetables, which were a great treat. They received a copy of the Hrraup, also, which they say was a greater boon still. Yesterday—November 20—the Bavaria was taken in tow by the steamtug Empress, and “brought to Quarantine, being out eighty-nine days from Hob- son’s Bay, and eighty seven from Port Philip Heads, We have received some very interesting details of local news from the Australian continent. A gentleman who came as passenger, furnishes us with the following piece of news, which we pub- lish for the benefit of our theatrical friends, He says, Barnum (yesterday) received a request to visit the gold regions of Victoria, and a new stone build- ing, in the course of erection for an extensive thea- tre, has been offered to him on very reasonable terms. Should he decline, theagent is here and a good field is open for a first rate theatrical company. ‘The builder was lecturing in this city within the last two years, and is now one ot the lucky speculators of the Victoria region. Mr. George Train, of Boston, was engaged in the enterprise of establishing a fire aud marine assurance system, and advocating a new plan of exchange. The five dollar piece passed current only for one pound. Mr. Elliott, of the firm of Elliott & Arkill, of Peart street, New York, had been appointed treasurer to an association of Canadians established in Melbourne, with a view of affording relief to indigeut immi- grants. ‘The government had recently advertised for com- petent persons to establish telegraph lines. ‘A correspondent of the Melbourne Argus, writing from Sydney upon August 20, says:— Mra, Mitchel,"the wife of the Irish exile, sailed om Thursday evening, with her children, nied by Mr. Smith, the gentleman who aided Mc.
