As to the unhappy ndifs, I think the best use that could be made of them would be to dismount them, torn their horses into baggage ponies, make them lead them, and give their loners to the Tartars. Fai:ing this, two old Greek brigs should be hired or borrowed, and the whole of them be sent home, after distributing a pound of tobacco to each man. Why they were ever brought here I cannot imagine. It is one of those incompreheasibilit in one sees so often in the Turkish army, but which one is led to pass over in silence, in the food hope that there is g od at the bottom of than which unprofessional eyes are unable to dis cern.

The Turks are going to make outworks at some distance from the town ; and as there eau he little doubt the Russians will oppose them, another action may be expected in a few days. The sound of cannonading was heard yesterday evening in the direction of Sebastopol. The news of the Emperors death has produced a pat sensation. The weather is delicious.

M. de Sacy, the principal editor of the Niels, was sent for by the Minister of Interior this week, and privately admooished on the subject of an article 'mid* lately appeared in that paper, reta il,* to the hostile demonstrations of the students against the new professor, M. Saint Beano. M. de Sag pleaded the rowel moderation of his journal, and the scrupulous oars taken in every de/partition of the editing to avoid giving offence. As an instance of the habitual caution exercised, he stated that the editor had erased from the article complained of a statement to the effect that the feel ing among the young men in the University was so strong against the former editor of the National that, but for the intervention of the public force, it would be impossible for him to matinee his course of lectures. M. &Sault commended the exercise of discretion, and added that had the above statement (which, by the way, is strictly true) been printed, the Dibata would have beer suspended. On the Place dm Pidais-Bourbon, opposite the principal entrance of the Corps Legislatif, is a pe destal originally intended to support the statue of Louis XVIIL offering the charter to toe French people. The revolution of 1830 came before this statue had been inaugurated, and for many years that of Mirabeas stood in its place. In 1848 Mira beau gave way to a colossal and very ugly allegorical figure of the Republic ; in plaster, which was de stroyed very soon after Dec. 2, 1851. Yesterday, a marble figure, seated to a cantle chair, representing France leaning upon the tables of the law, was placed upon the pedestal as a definitive tenant. Uoderneath the statue is the following inscription s " Legis keno effigiem !elicitor impotent, Nipissas lIL Imper. 1, domes q. iniperatonm pumas= curavit, sone MDCCCLV.' On the right sod Mk of the pedestal are sculptures, symbolising Problems, Wisdom, and Justice, and at tie beck there is a spread eagle with a crown of oak leaves.

The Mastery Gazette of Vienna states, on the authority of a letter from Turin, that General La Marmon, when at the head of the Bardinian'troops to be sent to the Crimea, is to be placed in the same position as Omer Pachs, that is to say, to exercise an independent command, and to have a seat in the council of war, but is to be bound by decisions of the majority of the council. The Gazette adds that he will probably leave for the East at the beginning of April, to enter into communication with the Turkish government and the allied generals. the Saxon Minister, who, Si... the war began, has taken charge of the interests of Russian subjects in Franco. He at ones sent off the news by telegraph to Bt. Petersburg, and at the same time intimated his opinion that such a humane and politic example should be followed with regard to Preach prisoners in the hands of Russia. After a few days of genial spring weather, winter has some back to us again. It snowed hard nearly all night, and to-day it is bitterly cold.

Oar catholic countrymen in this city have for the last three days been engaged in oslebrating the Pops's dogmatic decision on the Immaculate Conception with a degree of pomp equally creditable to their piety and their purees. iggpllection having been set on tqot for the purpoesultineetieg the expense*, a thousand ecudi (21W.) we* immediately sabectibsii, and the arrangements in the sump , nons church of the Jesuits, in the way of hangingsollumination, and music, were consequently of the mast gorgeous kind. On the first two days the sermons were in Italian, and the preachers dwelt eloquently upon the pro.- prrous times when •the whole British Empire bowed obedience to the Holy See, and monasteries and nun neries were rife throughout the land; but yesterday afternoon, being the brat day of the tritium, Dr. Brown, bishop of Newport, held forth io English, delivering a panegyric upon the Binned Virgin, to every crowded audience of assenting catholic, and dissentient pro tesiants, from various parts of the three kingdoms, besides vast numbers of Itomans, a few of whom Lettered themselves that they could undustand an English sermon, whilst the common herd took the doctor's discourse for a Latin homily, and admitted all he said, as a matter of course. There is really no possible conjecture as to when these prolonged reyotc logs will be wound up. The next grand festival which is promised us, connected with the immaculate conception, is to be at the satire expense of the Roman nobility, and is to take place Cr. long at the Baths of Diocletian, in Michael Angelo's spacious church of Banta Maria degli Angell. The aubecrip lion towards the erection of the commemorative column goes on well, his holiness having given 2,000 scudi from the apostolic palace fund, and 170 acudi more having been received from the United States, making the whole sum hitheato collected 12,920 wadi. PARIS, SUNDAY EVINING. The debates in the Corp. Legialatif on the new bill "relative to the creating a dotation for the army, re-enlistment, the providing of substitutes, and mili tary pensions," have been carried on for the last four days with unusual animation, and are not yet over. The discussion turns almost entirely upon the policy of abolishing tho military assurance companies, and creating a state monopoly in their business. That military service is obligatory, has been a standing priociple, recognised and acted upon in France (with the exception of a period of three years in the reign of Charles VII., and a few days in the time of the first constituent assembly), uninterruptedly from the days of Clotaire down to those of Napoleon IIL The government does not profess to make any change iu this principle, but the opposition spelkers argue that the new bill does in fact trench upon it most materially, and oomple.ely overthrows the French military system which has produoed such happy and glorious results, to substi tute for it an experiment pregnant with dangerous The Pope has put forth no excommuoicatioa as yet against the promoters or ratifiers of the obnoxious anti-monastic law in Piedmont; indeed his attention is rather diverted by the strong proceedings of the same character in Spain, which will probably Widnes a suspension of diplomatic relations batistes the Holy See and the government of that country also. The new Spanish minister arrived here a week ago, but it is considered d•utbiful whether his mission will be recognised, or whether be will be received by Pio I None in any other character than that of a sincere catholic, to which his principles well entitle him. seasequences. Hitherto the state has said to every einem of twenty years of age "You , are bound to serve or provide a man." Now it is proposed to say, "March, or pay." At first sight the &Settees does teat stem so great as to be likely to entail the inententons consequences apprehended by the oppo mints of the measure. Henceforth, as heretofore, the ■sea drawn for the army who has no money must eons, and the man who is able to command a certain wee may free himself from the obligation if he pleases. The project is undoubtedly open to all the standing objections against stets monopolies, but on the surface of the question it would probably occur to few people to think that the quality of the army would be greatly affected by the alteration. Notwith standing the extortion chanted against the aseurasce companies it might be fairly doubted whether the state could provide substitutes cheaper. Government jobbery, government unwieldintes and incapacity to enter into details. and the consequent rise in the market price of a substitute might be thought to be the worst evils to be apprehended. Bat the opposition speakers, M M. de Mon talember t,Louvet, de Chuseloup LIAM, and Legrand, the Marquis d' Andelarre, and saws, take a mach wider view of the subjeot. They isaistain that the bill strikes at the root of the system which has produced extraordinary and envied reeekee and tends to extinguish the military spirit se tb. nation. They deny that the difference between pro viding a man, who most of COWS, be bought with money, and paying a sum to the state in lien of service is ansubetantiaL Now every boy is brought up with the prospect of being drawn for the army, and from the earliest age his mother or nurse speaks to his et the rank he may obtain.

THE PARIS UNIVERSAL EXHIBITION. DAILY news.) PARIS, Moon IS. The fears of very timid exhibitors are now die. pawl. The Faiths de rhidestrie is named for 12 millions of francs its contents for 10 millitOsi while the fine art galleries are assured for onedelle lion. These mangoes have been effected by*e go vernment with ?atone French ooupanies. Other important steps have been taken Niels my last ono: munioation. Thus, Prince Napoleon, President of the Imperial Commissioo, has explored the Exhibition handier, and _presided at a fir meeting of the flee art juries, to disperse them, in sections, to their Maws. Hs recommended them to exercise "a jos! 1 severity"—to consider only the imputing; which fairly belongs to France, that she might appear in this pacific battle with well chosen arms only i that hereby her artists might peeve themselves worthy of those other children of France who are so valiantly fighting her enemies. These recommendations concluded, the juries for painting, sculpture, and architecture proceeded to elect their re spective presidents and vioe-presidents. By this Ume the juries mat have made considerable progress in their labours. Meantime contributions of import ance are on the point of arrival. Daily paragraphs announce the approach of Algerian and other goods, and the farther nomination of oornmisaiooers. To former lists of these commissioners I will now add the names of M. Bleymuller, for the Elector of Hesse; and the Baron du Havelt, for the Papal government Of private enterprises which have burst into public light lately, I might give you a long list. Agencies threaten to buy up all the rooms to let in the Boule vards; bat before engaging with any of them, I would recommend English exhibitors to be extremely careful. I hays heard of one enterprising lodgieg hones keeper, who has long enjoyed the patronage of very select customer", but who, taken with a violent attack of Exhibition fever, Liu; given all her lodgers warning. She is about to turn all her rooms into , bed-rooms, and is to realise, according to her exceed ingly moderate calculations, one hundred francs per night per room throughout the summer. After the summer she will probably paper her first floor with waste bank-notes. Turning from thin private ape culatioss to official life, let me proceed to describe the arrangements already made by the English sew missioners, headed by Mr. Cole. A flue house has bees hired in the Rue du Cirque, No. 14, within five mi notes' walk of the Palate de l'lndestrie. It is now nearly furnished, sufficiently at all events to enable me to describe the advantages it will afford to Eng lish committees and exhibitors. (nom T*s Oe the ground Boor, on entering, exhibitors will Boa a neat little post 2 offloe ; that will be a poste re 'tante to which they may have their letters addressed, and where they may . post letters for England. Crossing the hall the visitor will reach a fine large room, to be comfortably furnished for the exclusive me of visitors. Here they may meet, and transact their business; or, bstttr still, should the room be crowded, they may stroll, into the garden beyond, where a marques will be ever ready to lend them its grateful shade. All this is very pleasant, and will , probably excite the envy of German and other foreign' exhibitors. Certainly the most exacting exhibitor will be content with his qu ;acre in the Rue du Cirque. The first floor of the house is devoted to the offices, board-room, &a, of the English Exhibition authori ties. The board-room is a most stately apartment. The second floor is marked off into a series of rooms, devoted to various committees. Thus the Fine Art Committee has its room, the Potteties Committee its separate apartment, and of course Manchester enjoys the dignity of a distinct locale. These arrangements, it must be honestly confessed, leave nothing to desire ; land it is our duty to congratulate the English peo ple on the reputation for exactitude and oomplete organisation which their English representatives' will undoubtedly leave behind them in Paris. Thus, for instance, we are certainly the only nation that ►as yet advanced to the catalogue form. MUSIC. -M. BILLET''S PESTOEMANCES OF CLASSICAL PLiNO 701T1 MOBlO —M.

He is • pianist of the first order, thoroughly conversant with the works of the great masters; and a series of his perform ance, may be described as • highly interesting and Untrue ties Course of lectures on the progress of the pianoforte. He began on Friday evening with Duseek's sonata in F sharp minor, entitled " Harmonic Elegy," a beautiful specimen of the genius of • composer who, before the end of the last se•tary, raised his inetnuasot to' a height namely exceeded at the present. His sonatas are tall of imsginetion, fire, expression, and brilliaaey, and are as fresh es if they were written yesterday. In the pre.ent inerrant craving for novelty, them cad many other fine productions of the old school are too Mach neglected, and such of our modern pianists as have the good taste to select them ter piddle performance deserve the thanks of every lover of classical music. M. Billet also played Men delaso►a's prelude in fugue in B fist; Beethoven's sonata In C, ep. b 8; Chopin's nocturne in C minor ; Weber's rondo, " La Gal d," and several smaller pieces. His performances, as usual, were admirable in mention, style, and charatter, and were warmly applauded by a numerous anthem Several vocal Owns were song by Wes Palmer, • young contralto anther of great promise.

An explosion of gas of a very Frightful character occurred to this dockyard at 10 o'clock last night. The scene of the catastrophe was at the dockyard police-etation, adjoining the North or Steam Factory entrence to the yard, and in the large room of which mina of the force were waiting to go on duty. It appears that the men Dad fns , me days past experienced a very disagreeable smell in this room, evidently analog from an 'tribe of gas, sad they had complained of he circumetance to their superior officers, by whim it had been, we are informed, reported to the proner official,. No• thing, however, appears I. have been done in the matter, and the result is the accident that has happened and a con , sequent loss of life. The men were sitting, as usual at the above hour, last night in the station-room, when the smell of gas seemed to them to be stronger than ea say previous occasion, being, as one of the saferers from the explosion informed us, quite suffocating. To ascertain where the escape came from, one of the men applied a light to cifferent crevices in the floor ing boards, Ac., and at length doing so at the one from which the gas actually escaped into the room, a terrific explosion took place, resembling the discharge of a piece of heavy ord nance, and being heard and indeed felt at a omeiderable distance off. it appears that the gas bad eicapea from a main ri :ming under the etetion-house. The whole of the fluor of the room wee blown up, together with its fur niture, and all the unfortunate men who were sitting in it. In addition to this, tie roof of the building, only con sisting of a ground floor, was blown into the air Toe report of the explosion brought a number of officials and others to the spot, and some lab were at once set to work to extricate the unfortunate m-n who were buried is the rubbish. This was speedily effected, when the suf feren were found to be Inspector Henry Stroud, both legs broken; Sergeant Thomas Ripley, leg bruit. n; Privates James Odes, arm and leg broken and internal injuries Weep Lithe, arm and le • broken ; domes Wastell, thigh broken; T. Sydenbam, leg broken; D. Palmer, Henry Neville, W. Rimer, and W. Miller, seriously injured, but the precise ting merest to the spot where the light was sp-lied to the gas findiog its way from under the floor into the room, escaped with fewest injuries, unless it should turn out that he has received internal injuries of serious cha racter. With the exception of Miller, all the poor fellows required to be taken to hospital, and they were at ores conveyed over to Radar. After enduring great suffering, Private Odes died this morning at Basler. Inept. tor Stroud is in a most danger ous stare. Should be survive, ha must undergo amputa thre of both legs. The appearance of the ruin this morning bears evidence of the terrible force of tie explosion. Nothing is 'Larding but the bare walls, and these are rent and spilt from top to bottom, • bilst the strong beams supporting the roof are literally broken sharp off, as though they were but matches. Men are being employed to day in distovirieg the sot of the escape of the gas trout the main pipe, and in repair lag • ti. THE EARTHQUAKE AT BROUSSA. The Journal de Constantinople gives the following further detsils of the eartoqnske at Brousse : " The shock took place after torrents of rain which had lasted 24 hooey, accompanied by gusts of wiud from the south-east, and by thunder. The sky became all at one, obscured; a strong am.II of sulphur we, perceptible, and then the esrtberake took place. There was first of all an oscilletory movemeat from the rut to the east; then very elserp shock.; and then another Quint,: ion which was much more violent than the first. The earthquake lasted alto- gether between 50 and 60 seconds. From 60 to 80 minarets. and am many mosques were thrown down, or so greatly demaged. tbst they are *eery moment i• danger of telling. Several khans were totally destroyed, end asce.ngst them the Fasklyenikhan, lila-Khios, and Keradjahey•K:.an ; and otters have large rents their walls. The mosque Davoullets bloniatir, a Greek eonstruction about 1,200 years old, is onthieg but a beat, of ruin*. The large mosque of Ouion- Djiami, a hich Is 600 years old, and which la or 01 eat beauty, his had two minarets destroyed, and its cupolas have sus tained what is considered irreparable damage ; the part of the town which has sustained the greatest injury is the Baloak-Bssar. In that neighbourbt.ed, enormous blocks of rock from the mountain and of masonry from the old fort ress, falling down, crushed a dozen howee, and a small manufactory *ailed IladjeAnastase. In this manufactory, thirty persons were killed, and amongst them were the owner and his two sons. In the evening a fire broke out amongst the ruins in this quarter, and spread to the houses which had escs7ed injery. It was sic hour, before it could be got under. In the night shocks took place at intervals of half an hoar, but with less force. Ti • d.y atter they continued at irregulsr intervals, hut slightly. All the po7slatien abandoned the town, sad took up their readers* outbids in tents. The number of victims, as far as is known. is between 280 and 300. The earthquake esteeded all through the province, and is some places completely destroyed a neuther of villages, and killed a great many of their inuabitaots." A letter from Brooms, of the 6th instant, contain, the following plunge: " The shocks of earthquake continue ; every four or five hour, the inhabitants are filled with terror. The greater part of them, indeed, have left the town, sod are living under tents in the open etonatry.
