Du sunk coder a seriously malady, ertleb rapidly reached a crisis. As the efforts and incessant we of the defunct monarch were int:meant:7 directed to t►e well-being of his subjects, so we, in ascending the here ditary theme of the Remise empire and the inseparable Metes of Poland and Finland, solemnly swear, in the face of heaven, have any other object in view than the happiness of the country. Providence, which has destined as to fulfil this grand mission will direct oar steps, and pre test our 'Volts to maintain Ramis at the highest degree of pewee sod glory, and to accomplish in and by us the desires sad projects unswervingly entertained by Peter, Catherine, Alexander, and our late Father.

It is clear that on the 23rd and 24th of February there was some serious fighting before Sebastopol, bet the French and Russian telegrsphio accounts of the affair are violently conflicting, and probably neither of them are accurate. It can scarcely be doubtful that Mentchikors despatch, dated St. Petersburg, March 8, and Admiral Brunt's dee patch, dated Kamiesch, Feb. 24, in to-day's Mossi tare, are but different versions of one and the same story, although the dates do not precisely correspond. According to Mentchikoff theßussians erected "in the night of Feb. 21 and 22 a redoubt on the left flank on the fortifications of Sebastopol," which redoubt was attacked by the "enemy" with a considerable force in the night: of Feb. 24 and 25. Admiral Brost speaks of important works of counter approach having been effected by the Russians "In the night of February 22 and 23, on the counter fort of the plateau, which runs downwards towards the small Careening Bay ; " and says that these works were attacked by the 2nd corps "on the night of the 23rd and 24th.* So far, there is a simi larity in the description of the operations on either side as to prove to a moral certainty, notwithstand lag the trifling discrepancy in dates, that the same acts are intended to be spoken of. But when we come to the result, the diversity is startling. The Russian commander says the French were repulsed by two regiments with a loss of 600 men, while the French Admiral reports that the obnoxious works were taken with great eclat, and that the loss "is said to be" about 100 wounded. It may pretty safely be presumed that the loss was greater than it is " said to be" in the lloniieur despatch, bat we can scarcely doubt that the works were really taken. The Bourse was very heavy all to day. The depar ture of the Emperor for the Crimea almost immedi ately was thought extremely probable.

The Duke de Orammont, a general of division, for merly aide-de-ems p to the Duke d'Angooleme,the father of the Duke de Oniche, French minister of Turin, and the brother-in-law of the late Coast d'Orsay, has just died after a long illness. He was on terms of inti macy with a large circle of the English aristocracy. GERMANY. BERLIN, Law' 4. When one considers the close family ties existing between the reigning dynasties of Russia and Prussia, it le "sr/ naturel that the intelligence of the death el the Emperor Nicholas should have caused the gloom in the circle of the Court of Berlin, tr s arnecessarily throws all political conjectures and combinations into the background. Naturally and attached to the reigning hones, the Praseians of all classes feel the greatest sympathy with the royal family on the affliction they have soldered, and over look for the moment all antagonistic differences which a abort time ago excited tin public mind.

MEETING OF THE PEACE SOCIETY. roe, and he wee assured by morosatile oorreepOndents in Russia, that at the time the four propositions were consented to a few weeks ago, as a bash for negotiation, the Qat was 'lacers in offering those terms, end would have honestly and fully carried them out. (Hear, hear.) He (Mr. linage) believed some of his friends had invited hint te this meeting with the view of his makiog allusion to sone statistics ef the corn trade put forth by this fins with which he woe oftanseiea, ion,', Z i '"ut which there had besu some oeste3veny, The extent to which eft were indebted to Russia for the supplies of grain wee a question of great importance, sa effecting the welfare of this nation ; and he confessed it was much greater than he had sapwood himself, until he had gone fully into the investiga tion of the subject, so rapidly had it increased. In the first of their circulars in which they Case Messrs. Starr) called attention to this subject, they went a little into the question of what was the average price of wheat since the abolition of the eorn-laws, and found that for four years it was only 41s. Id. per quarter. Taking that as a data, they assumed that, considering the deficient harvest of last year, they t have gone down to • price of about 60e. • quarter the ensuing winter. Of course, that was only an to ; but they stated a fact—that the direct imports of corn, chiefly wheat, from the different ports of Russia, including those of the Black Sea and Sea of Azoff, were, in 1853, 1,701,887 quarters; and from Wallachia and Mol davia, stopped in consequence of the Danube obstruction, about 660,000 quarters; making a total of about 2,360,000 quarters. Upon this fact, and upon the fact of a very large quantity berg exported to other pans of Europe, they of course assumed that they 111*bl fairly trace to the exclusion of this supply the great rise of corn, and estimated it at 'iota 40 per cent. As there was some controversy respect ing the tonnages of theta statements and calculations, they (listen. Barge) in their next circular said :—" We have esdeareand to ascertain the actual quantities of wheat shipped in 11553 to the differsatcountries of Europe, at those ports from which the export Is now prohibited owing to the war." and they showed a total export of nearly 4,900,000 qrs. from Russia, and 700,000 from Moldavia and Wallachia - and adding to it the quantities for the north of Europe, they earned at the total estimate of 6,000,000 quarters. One of the papers, disputing these facts, admitted a report of 4,600,000 quarters ; and perhaps he should be allowed to say that the error had been apparently fallen into, of sup posing that they intended to say that these 6,000,000 quar ters were imported into this country, wh , they never said so; but that they were exported from Russia, from those ports whence the war had prevented their export after wards. Every commercial man would see that if the sleeken of Europe were deprived of that quantity, it had the same effect as though it all came to this country, upon the market. In one of their circulars, at the letter end of Amery, they said:—" Since the pub'ication of our last monthly circular, we have procured a little further information respecting the exports of wheat from Russia in 1853, which fully bears out our estimate that it was at least 6.000,000 quarters." We should state that although they had inadvertently stated that the exports bad been wholly from Rustda, and omitted to consider the 700,000 quarters from the Danube; yet, on further investigation, they were folly convinced that, even exclusive of that 700,000 detained is Me Danube, the exports from Russia alone were not less than 6.000,0e0 quarters for the year 1853. They went on to say: "It is not surprising, therefore, that, with stocks ex hausted's' every other part of Europe, the stoppage of this mace ;of supply should have produced the present high range of prices. Even with a continuance of ge crops we 'cannot expect much lower rates in the absence of im ports from Russia, while another harvest similar to that of 18.53 would make the continuance of the present war a cause of incalculable misery to the poor throughout the rest of Europe." In consequence of the reiteration of statements that these estimates were too high, they published the other day the grounds upon which they made the estimates. They said :—" The returns pub lished by the Board of Trade show that Taganrog, 51arianopie, and Berdianski exported, in 18.53, 1,860,829 quarters; and we learn from other souroes that Odessa ex ported 2,239,231 quarters, and Road! 383,671 quarters, in the same year, making a total of 4.483,731 qn. from those five ports alone. From Kertech, Kale, Eupatoria, Chenon, floodosis, and Ismail, we have no accounts on which we can rely, nor of the large quantities carried Item Russia overland into Austria; but we believe that all competent judges will admit that 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 quarters is a very low estimate of the quantity supplied by these and all the northern ports of Russia in 1853—even without the 700,000 quarters from the Dula., which it will be seen by reference is included in the estimate in our circular of the 6th December." In reference to the wheat taken from Polish Russia into Austria, they gave an extract from a letter from one of their Wats correspondents, which said: " Ever sines the exportation from Russia was prohibited, purchases fur Austria have been snaking on a large scale, extending even as far from the Austrian frontier as the °slats district, while near the frostier most exorbitant prices (never known before) are being paid; so that not only is the grain from the vicinity of the frontier, which in former years came to Dilate for shipment, withdrawn from us, but the grain already in Gant: is conveyed back." that was a fact probably never known before in the history of the trade, lie need not say anything to remind com mercial men of the effect upon the markets of an increue or decrease of 10 per cent. in the supply of grain. (Hear. hear.) In reference to the present war and its object", he would merely say that he knew either civil or rell - gaits liberty to be advanced by the sword, which only I served to create despotism ; and he was perfectly sates , fled we bad done more to retard the progress of oath ' sation in Russia by preventing the continuance of the rail , way from Warsaw to Bt. Petersburg, than we should ever de , to promote liberty by Oho war. (Hear, hear.) He had suggested to his friend John Bright, and he had no che..bt he would remember it in the House of Commons, that it , was desirable if possible to procure an armistice whilst the negotiations wets going oil, in order to avoid the possible sacrifice of some thirty or forty thousand troops, even after we had concluded a peace. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Emmen ASHWORTH and Mr. T. THOMASSON also , addressed the meeting, and • motion was carried that a me• =oriel be drawn up urging the government to negotiate an , early peace, and placed for public signature. , The meeting then adjourned until Tuesday next. THE LAW OP PAROCHIAL FEASTING. Yesterday, at a numerous meeting of the pariah authorities or Bt. Pesetas, held in the Court House, Camden Town, J. FLATIIRR, Req., M.A. (churchwarden), in the chair, Mr. Tod Kan, pursuant to notice, moved that in future the dinner provided for the directors of the poor on Tuesdays be discontinued, and that the rota on Fridays consist of thirteen, for whom only dinner should be provided. He contended that it was monstrous for them to endeavour to cut down expenses unless they began with themselves. At a time when the pariah was en debt come 8,0001. and saddled with increased poor rates, it was really too bad for them to be spending 1201. a year at least in dinners for which there was net the slightest necessity. The work was generally done before the hour for dinner, and he much regretted that many at that board only came there in time for the dinner. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Howse seconded the motion. Mr. irinale;;;(ltliat if the sinner were to be abolished the attendance at the board would be very meagre and irregular. (Hear, hear.) He was, however, favourable to the principle, and had frequently wished to move in it. Mr. &remits, barrister, said that the chief objection to the dinnen complained of was the utter illegality of the expense. According to the act under which they held the alio every director of the poor was bound to defray hie own expenses, and he was sure that were the 1201. a-year put under a separate item the auditor would disallow that spm. (itar, hear.) Mr. broccrox denounced the objection as frivolous and paltry in the extreme, and denied that the whole cost ex ceeded more than 4W. alear, notwithstanding Mr. Turner's artful insinuation. An amendment was moved by Mr. GODWIN that the meetings be held at two o'clock instead of at 10, u at pre sent. Which having been seconded, Mr. Bur.arr wandered the motion as a pins of clap trap, got up for party pursue's. 8o fir from being a saving, he believed that if the dinner was abolished, the business of the parish would not be so well attended to. (Oh I and beer.) He hoped that the board would not act like a parcel of milksops, and be put down by au electioneee lug cry. (Oh !oh I) Mr. Tnersost considered the whole proceeding ea childish, and warmly supported the continuance of the dinners which had been so loudly denounced as illegal. B . denied that feet, and told the learned gentleman, Mr. Street's, that he knew nothing about his profusion. Mr. ffernisrltir, in reply, informed the board that they were bound by an oath to do their duty without fee ea re- I ward. He (Str.litreeten) was ready to de his duty upon th ou terms, and it was lamentable that it required so mask to make men see the illegality of the proceedings. After further discussion, the amendment was pat and lost; and upon a division there appeased for tha original motion 8, against it 19. 1 , The board then separated. TIM PATRIOTIC FUND.
