TURKEY.
The Divan has received a- formal renunciation of the Russian Government's claims to the Island of Serpents. Kars will be delivered up immediately to the Turks. The Daily Neivs remarks that for these two acts on the part of Russia there is said to be little doubt that we are in a great measure indebted to the prompt determination of Lord Palmerston to send an English squadron to the Island of Serpents, and his declaration that the squadron should remain in the Black Sea till every mile of the Turkish territory was evacuated by the Russians. RE-BUILDING OF SEBASTOPOL.
The Berlin correspondent of the Times states that a number of labourers in East Prussia have been engaged by the Russian Government for a term of three years, to be employed at the re-building of Sebastopol, at the wages of three shillings a day. Those who are married are to be allowed to visit their families twice a year.
