The Wak. Russian Oletkeat In Asia. Teleg...
THE WAK . RUSSIAN OlETKEAT IN ASIA . Telegraphic despatches from Vienna of Thursday state that the Russian corps under Prince Eebutoff , on the frontier of Georgia , had hastily retreated ^ and sheltered themselves withig ~ the walls of Gtemxi , leaving their camp and tan gWS » spikedy besidefr ammunition , mules , & c . As lendfDg some air of probability to this , -we may notice another telegraphic announcement , that Schamyl haft- gained a brilliant victory over the Russian forces at Tiflis .
The Rumours Of The Immediate Return Of S...
The rumours of the immediate return of Sir Charles Napier to England are not confirmed . On Thursday the main force of the fleets were in the Gulf of Finland , and the admirals off Revel . The inhabitants of that town are said to have made up their minds to a bombardment ; as an attack upon it was to be , it vrae said , tke final " coup" of the season . The French troops are on their "way home , and Marshal Baraguay d'Hilliers has arrived at Boulogne , via Paris . It 5 s said the French Baltic fleet will visit Cherbourg early next month . THE . AtTSTRJANS AT BUCHARKST . The Austrian troops under Count Coronini entered Bucharest on tl ? e evening of the 6 th inst . It is . said that Omar Pacha , has to undergo considerable annoyance from th & Austnans . He has Tieen eoinjiieiled tpv send , away all the Hungarian cflBcers ; iix his . service , ; among others , eight ; of his own , ; aidesrde-camp . The Austrian officers are conducting ; ttiemseive ^ s in an , intalerably ^) verbeaving ; manner . A . certain . General Pdpoyitch -hais distingjiished himself , at the expense © f the lodging-house keepers and ladies of' JBucharestj— -kicking oft' doors in the > houses of the onfe , and insulting th < s others ^ OmaE PacHa was obliged to interfere ^ and JPopovitch apblojgiseoV ; : . . ¦ ¦ . ¦ . . ;;¦ . .. . -.,:..

Tlie firs * division of the British , army destined foir Sehastojioi j embarked at Varn ^ on the 2 nd inst .,: withquj ;; difficulty . or accident . On the 5 th , the French and Turks left Varna to join the British fleet aVFidoriijM , apisland 0 fFthe mouths of the Danube , opposite tpEupotayia in the Crimea ; The weather was fine . .. : ' . y ''' : , . :. - ¦ ' ¦ '> .: ¦ ::: ¦ It is stated , that the debarkation will he effectedat a pointnea ? the mouth « of the river Katcha , where there is about fifteen fathoms of water , which will enable the ships to approach ve * y near the shbre 3 a ^ d : their guns will destroy , all the land artillery ¦ winch can be opposed tb the invading force . , Once ashore , the troops wdllimmediately > begin to entrench tliemselyiES , and they will repel with the bayonet all the . assaults' of the Russian troops . The landing effected * the Russian army must be beaten in the field , and possession taken of the heights which command the city . The Russian troops having been overcome , Sebastopol will be invested . Ifc is possible that the Russian engineers have constructed formidable entrenchments with redoubts , surrounding and commandingthe city . But the Russians have not the command of { he sea ; and . besides there are several points beyond the circuit of Sevastopol , from , which both the city and the port are assailable . It appears that : the besieging artillery can enfilade the port , in a manner that will compel the Bussian fleet either to remain to be destroyed , or to g <> out to fight ; and it appears also that the capture of fort Constantino , which is mot less pregnable than Bomarsund , will promptly terminate the siege . Tfee preparations an the part of the Russians ar < $ said to . be formidable . At Sebastopol the intention is to resist vigorously . Forts are being built to protect the coasts at a distance of four leagues from ' Sebastopol . A inass of jSreships are being prepared to be sen * against the vessels of the enemy . In ad < J *> tion to the usual garrison at Sebastopol , there are 60 , 000 men in the camp established near the town , and reinforcements are constantly arriving ^ The Russian fleet is , armed ,, and , it appears , will not remain inactive during the operations . The beat pilots are distributed amongst the vessels . Prince Mensehilcoff directs in person the measures of defence .

Great alarm is felt at Odessa . Almost all the corn liae been removed to Tiraspol , the women and children have been eent away , and the pavement is up .

The proclamation concludes— " Woo to those who remain behind or attempt to extinguish the flro . "

IiAW AND ORDER . Thk Sectarian Biots at Ne > yton-X . imavady , in tho north of Ireland , have been the cause of much ex , citement- A Koman Catholic priest was returning one night from a sick call , when , as stated by his friends , he was assailed by some groups of persons in the street , and that he fired a . pistol , as ho says , merely to frighten his assailants . The newspapers of the two religions give amazingly contradictory accounts of the affair , the priest being the assailant or tho assailed , according to the faith of tho narrator .
In Parts Of Scotland There Is A Rivalry ...
In parts of Scotland there is a rivalry of tho celebrated Rebecca xiots in Wales some years ago . A few days since , the toll-gate of Kelso-Tbridge was forcibly removed , for the fifth time , by a large crowd of people belonging to tho town and immediate neighbourhood , in defiance of p , proclamation by tho sheriff . The next day the gates were re-erected , and a party , of Dragoons dispersed the crowd , but on their retiring to their quarters tho tnob reassembled , and ajbout eleven o ' clock , the gates were completely levelled for . the sixth , time . tJpwards of one hundred special constables wore sworn , in . Having beeu formed into divisions , they awaited further orders , A detachment of the 82 nd 3 legiment , under tho command of Mojpr Hale , arrived by train from Edinburgh for tho purpose of enforcing the resolution of the Kelso . lmdge trustees in maintaining the pontage . A meeting of the lieutenancy , justices of the pouce , and magistrates wns hold , attended by the Duke of Bucclough , lord-lieutenant of the county ; the Duke of Roxburghoj lord Polworth , & c . & c . It was resolved to swear in a numbor of special constables for tho protection of tho peace , and in tlio meantime tho workmen at the bridge wore for tho present ordered to desist ftoiri tho oroction of the gates .

In Cork thero have been serious encounters between some of tho soldiery stationed thero and tho pooplo . Tho rioting was suppressed , Imti in a d « y or two afterwards rocommonced within tho precincts of tho barrack , and that several of tho officers who were seeking to put an on < l to it , were maltreated , and some of thorn kicked ]> y tho soldiers , Theno
events will probably lead to an investigation by the military authorities . J
There Haffibeen An Outbreak Of Irish Nav...
There haffibeen an outbreak of Irish navigators at Hofadyrywys , sear Crumlin , in "Wales .- — It appears that six Irish navvies , in the employ of Mr . ! jrbank , took it into their heads to visit the railway labourere at that place , for the sole parpose , apparently of creating a ( Kstprtance . After committing some outraged at tBe Greyhwitti ^ ljeerehop , they proceeded to a shed where a roauwa & at workfand beat and fenocked him about in a most savage and t > rotol ' manneiv-without a word having been previously exchanged between Vbvn . they then went to the lofadyrj ^ s pubhehouse , where ' ti < ey -called for a quart of beer , and afterwards for another , Wt the landlord , seeing tliat they bad had too much , refused to draw them any more . One of them then went to a cqal heap , took up the siovel , and commenced smashing tho % indows . Just at this time one of the men working on the line came along with a horse and cart , and they knocked him down ¦ with the shovel , and cut his head very severely , and kicked him about . _ WWle these things were going on , a gentleman travelling in a gig carne up , and inquired what was the matter , when tley replied -with oaths and curses they would very soon show himj and commenced pelting Km with stones till he found the wisest , pdUcy to adopt was to quit the scene as quickly as possible . A regular village liot ensued : the Welsh colliers attacked the Irish ; and large hodies of the County Police had to be called in .
The Priced Of Protjsig^Fs, The Con.Ttoiv...
THE PRICED OF PROTJSIG ^ fS , The con . ttoiversy is going : on in various parts of the iiountiy / between the bakers and . their customers about ^^ the jrice 1 pf ; tread . In some few . instances the disputes have taken the form of breaking the windows of 4 elinciuent Imkers . '¦' .. : /¦ / : ' . '' , ' ;¦¦ : [ ; '¦ ¦• .. ¦'¦"' ¦' .: ¦ ' ¦ ' : ¦ '¦; ' //¦ . ' . ' ' ... - ; It appears that handlnll . s are circulating at Eseter , inviting the committees of the local ' benefit societies to meet and form _ a breiad company , in order to secure" to the public of that city its fair sjiare in the blessings of a tountiful JiaVvest . Ija the . handbill referred to , -which is dated the 7 th instant , it is said- ^ -f ^ In JEinuarylasf corn was selling at 88 s . ¦ fehe quarter | ; on Friday last it sold at" 52 s ., being more than 4 sv per bushel less than 5 n January ; besides , in the last two weeks wheat has fallen 16 s . per quarter , and pur modest bakers have dropped one halfpenny on , the 41 b . loaf . On Tuesday last , Mr . Giirdinerj one © f the principal bakers of Banbufy ^ brought 50 O loaves of bread to the town of . Buckingham , ; which were all sold hi the Market-place within forty minntes , at Gd . and 53 . the 41 b . loaf ; be promised to comeagain on Saturday with a larger supp ly ^ but expressed himself ready to retire when bread was soWat afair and reasonable price . A great competition has been going on at Wadflesdon among the : bakers , ani consequently bread is very much reduced in price . A good loaf is selu ' ng there at 4 Jd ..-y The village has twe ' n all alive oia the question , and the blessings of a cheap loaf seem to be . duly appreciated . On Thursday a "band of music and prpebssion were parading the vHlage , which was in a istateof excitement . _ The prico of wheat , says the MctidstoneJownal , has fallen within the last four weeks frdm 17 s . to 20 s . a quarter , yet in the face of this , and of the prospect of a still greater reduction in tlie price of wh « at , and , of consequence , flour , tho Gravesend Ijakera charge just three farthings less in the quartern loaf than when wheat ; was 80 s ., the quarter , instead of 56 s . its present price . The wisest means to compel these combined bakers to deal . fairly with the public , would be the establishment of a " Bread Consuming Company , " such as is now being established in several of the manufacturing towns , for the protection of the working classes against this worst or all monopolies—the bakers ! monopoly in the price of bread . A great reduction appears to have taken place in Scotland , for , on Friday , throughout the town of Arbroath , tho price of the 41 b . loaf was reduced to 6 d . Oatmeal is now selling at 2 s . 21 d . per stone . The Glasgow Comnonwmlth follows up the question with a " Word to the Butcher "; it states— " The baker is not tho only man who is indisposed to follow the markets when thpro is a fall . The butchers , wo are afraid , forgot when tho price of boasts is reduced . We find that , in Smithn ' el < l butchers' meat has begun to fall as compared with prices a month ago . If wo contrast tho tariff at the beginning of August und September , tho reduction will bo clearly perceived : — August . September . Beef . 3 s . 4 d . tp 5 s . 4 d . — 3 s . Od . to 4 s , lOd . Mutton , 4 s . 2 d . -- * 5 s . 2 d . — 4 s , Od . — - 6 s . Od . Lamb , 4 a . 8 d . — 5 s . 8 d . -r- 4 s . 4 d . — 4 s . 4 d . It is high time the price of butchers' meat was giving way } for , although tho trnflia in boasts now established between Scotland and London tends to withdraw the supplies , and the high wages enjoyed by so many of our operatives load to a fjroater consumption than usual , and the two circumstances united tend to raise tho price of tho commodity , it ia still at a prico unnaturally higli .
