Moscow contains a population of about 500,001 persona It la Waled at the centre of the commerce of the country, with six railways converging within its walls. It is the winter residence et a large portion of the Russian aristocracy, and the nature of tin climate is such as to render the introduction of gas, both fur lighting and warming purposes, an object of primary importance Ile the Inhabitants.

Moscow has hitherto been dependent for artificial light upon potable gm, Marine candles, and petroleum oil. The coati.. mat of these articles and other disadvantages connected with the imperfect lighting thus obtained are such as to render any supetition with ordinary gas impossible. The concession which has been secured to this Company cas tes an exclusive privilege for 20 years ; at the end of that period Ps weeks will either remain the property of the Company In pepstaily without special mouopoly : or the municipality may sleet to parehese them at a sum equivalent to the entire net Wefts of the previous ten year or to extend the concession. with exclusive privileges for a further period of ten years. In Oils latter case the works would revert to the city at the end of hrty years., unless fresh amogemeats shall have been made for amenable the business In the hands of the Company. A dak infead will be provided to meet these contingencies. The Calder des Charges allows the Com: say to charge 6 silver troubles (equivalent at the present exceptionally low rate of ex change to thirteen shlllluga, and to fifteen shillings and ten pore at the par of exchange, per 1,000 cubic feet of gas for all titlights.

Tits CRYSTAL Paiscs—The fine spring weather with which April has opened has had a sensible effect upon the attendances at the Crystal Palace. Although the 11•11.011 is somewhat late, the shrubs and plants in the gardens are now advancing rapidly. The Saturday Corner have been unusually well attended during the pest winter ; last Satur day nearly 5,000 persona were present. Active preparations are being made for Good Friday, on which day emit erred concert will he held. Madame Roderedor ff , Mr. Weir, and Mr. Sims Reeves are lame of the principal singers earned. The railway work. for the high level hoe, leading up to the front of the Palace, are progressing with creel rapidity. The workmen have commenced firing the ironwork for the roof, and in a very short period this mag nificent station will be completed. Great progress is being made on the other portions of the line. The great flower show of the season is appointed for Saturday, 20th May, and the roes show on Saturday, 94th Jens. l'be actiednies for these two shows alone show prizes amounting touristy sight hundred pounds. The facilities afforded by increased railway accommodation now promotes entries from much more &trot localities than used to be the cam. The sale of tickets for the Riedel Period motioned to progress in a most satisfactory manner. The alreatros in the corner galleries, from which so mach benefit is expected in as acoustical point of view, will be completed before Good Friday. The pular geoaraily will, therefore, on that day have as excellent opportunity of testing the advantages which will result from these improvements. PITY of MOSCOW GAS COMPANY (Limited).

The Journal de Charleroi contains the following details of a disagreement which occurred at a recent sitting of the Belgian Chamber between M. Dolma, themember for Antwerp, and the Minister of War, daring a debate on the Mexican questioe. As will be men by the telegram which follows, a duel boa been the result :—" A painful occurrence took plum at the sitting of the Sth inst. In replying to M. Delaet, who had given out that blanks bad been left in the orders of authorisation delivered to the Mexican volun teers, in order that the power of proceeding against them u deserters should be reserved in ease they made use of their leave of absence for soy other purpose than that of going to Mexico, the Minister of War said that those only were capable of committing such infamous acts who attri , bested to others the thought of doing so. At the word in famous M. Detest nee, and addressing the President in a deeply agitated voice, asked if the Chamber meant to let such an expression pus without censuring the speaker who bad made me of it. To the great astonishment of the tribuues the President answered not one word, and M. Delest was obliged to sit down without having received from either the right or the left benches the slightest indication of sympathetic support. But no sooner had the Minister of War concluded his speech than a messenger of the chamber delivered a sealed note to him from the member for Antwerp (M. Delaet), the con tents of which I am ignorant of, but which appeared to produce a deep impression upon him, for immediately after receiving it, and while M. COMAS was replying to his speech, I saw him ries from his chair and go down into the hemicycle, where some deputies, amongst others M.Vrilive and M. Rosier, at once joined him. What took place at this little conceit I cannot say, but conversation was extremely animated, and in the tribunes it was generally thought there was a challenge to a duel. This supposition became still more probable after M. Coonnan's speech. M. Dales& asked to speak, in order to repeat the queetioe he had in vain put to the President once before. Thus brought to the point, M. Vandenpureboom asked the speaker to ex plain the sense he had attached to the words he had uttered the previous day ; this M. Delaet did, declaring that he bad DOS the slightest intention of imputing any infamous act to the Minister of War, but that if the minister did not with draw his words he Amid have to consult himself alone in order to obtain reparation for the outrage which had just been committed against his dignity Al a representative in parliament. The minister remained silent. So the matter stands." It may be added in explanation that M. Delaet is opposed to the policy adopted by the government in permitting the formation of a Belgian legion. for Minion. and that in the course of the debate be had attacked the ministers for exposing the country to the hostility of the United States by unnecessary intervention in Mexican ►ffain. (corn's =mum.) BRUSSELS, Ann. 8. A duel with pistols took place to-day between Baron Chazal, the Minister of War, and M. De laet, he deputy for Antwerp, in consequence of language used towards M. Delaet by Baron Chazal at the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies on the 6th inst. General Chazal was very slightly wounded in the side. THE PRITCHARD CABR.—From all we can learn amid the close secrecy preserved, it would appear that the quantitative analysis in the case of Dm. Pritchard is nearly if not quite completed, with the result, we hear, of show ing that exceptionally large quantities of tartar emetic or tarterised antimony were lodged in the tissues, especially of the stomach. The extent to which the body saturated with the drug would seem to indicate tal a it z : edmiaistratios had extended over a long period. In ex planation of the erroneous rumour regarding the deceased lady, to the effect that she was in the habit of using wine, we may mention that it may not impossibly be shown that, duriag her fatal illness, the delirium of as apparent fever was induced by the administratioe Hwines og and ametthetics At first, there world to have been, among scientific moo, a suspicion that mookshood had beep an agent in the death of Mrs. Pritchard ; but it is understood that this suspicion has not been supported by the analysis.

The Federal lore in killed, wounded, and missing was 2,000 men, including General Bl‘Laughlin, who was taken prisoner.

He bad captured over 2,000 prisoners. His loss since leaving Savannah amounted to 2,600 men, many of whom were only slightly wounded. General Schofield announces his occupation of Goldsboro' on the 21st. He met with slight oppo sition. General Terry would probably resell Goldsboro' the same night. According to unofficial despatches, a portion of Sherman's forces from Fayetteville flanked and overpowered the Confede rates at Mount Olive on the 21st. The Confede rates retreated in confusion towards Smithfield. The Federals claim that the engagement at Averysboro' on the 16th was a victory for Shar man, and that after atemporary repulse at Benton ville on the 19th, they drove back Johnston, who retreated on the 20th across the Nouse River. Sheridan's whole force crossed the James River at Deep Bottom on the 26th to joint Grant.

General Lee's report of the attack on Fort Stead man states that he captured 9 guns, 8 mortars, and 500 prisoners, amongst whom were a brigadier general and a number of officers. He swept the Federal lines from left to right for a distance of 500 yards. Two efforts to recover the captured works were handsomely repulsed, but, finding that the enclosed works in the rear could only be taken at a great sacrifice, the troops were withdrawn to their original position. As it was impossible, how ever, to remove the guns, they were disabled. Lee says his loss was not heavy. The troops behaved very well. The entrenchments captured by Grant consisted of an advanced Confederate picquet line, which he still holds. The Confederates unsuccessfully attempted to reoccupy the line on the 27th. Northern correspondents state that Lee's troops fight with undiminished enthusiasm. Sherman issued an order, dated 22nd, near Ben tonville, stating that the concentrated armies of the enemy had, on the 21st, been beaten on their chosen ground, and were fleeing in disorder, leaving their dead and wounded, and burning the bridges in their retreat. On the same day Schofield occupied Goldsboro. The campaign bas resulted in a glorious success. The army will now rest. Northern accounts of the battle at Bentonville state that on the 19th two Federal divisions were driven back two miles, losing three guns. The Fe derals were reinforced on the 20th, and on the 21st drove the Colifederates through Smithfield, in the direction of Raleigh, capturing 10 guns and from 5,000 to 7,000 prisoners. Southern accounts of the fighting on the 20th and 21st state that it consisted of heavy skirmish ing, in which the Federal attacks were repulsed. Johnston broughtoff all the wounded. On the 20th, Sherman's, Schofield's, and Terry's armies were at Goldsboro refitting. The Richmond Sentinel declares that Sherman has been forced to take up a fortified position, and was acting on the defensive. Johnston's army was full of enthusiasm. Sherman arrived at City Point on Monday, and held a council of war there with Lincoln,Grant, and Sheridan. It is reported that a movement by Grant's army commenced immediately afterwards. Lincoln's visit to City Point has caused the revival of peace rumours, it being asserted that Lee, convinced of his inability to hold Richmond, bad renewed his request for a military peace con ference. General Dix has prohibited all travellers except emigrants horn entering the United States by sea without passports. The old issue of 7-30's has been fully subscribed for. The new issue will commence immediately. The steamers Aida, City of Manchester, and Damascus have arrived out. THE NEW ACADEMICIAN. (Frees tie Pisa.) When M.

They must all be under ten years el age whea admitted, bat as • matter of fact they rugs from four to ten, and are composed, generally speaking, of the most destitute class ; so that, if not provided fur in the home, they would en:lnestimably become little Arabi about the streets. The institution was formed in cionsequeece of its being found that upwards of 300 little children aware ten are apprehended yearly by the police and charged with offence' before the magistrate'. It owes • great deal to the exertions of Mr. Banbury, who took the matter up, and with the aid of some friends established the home on the basis of providing for 100 of these little outcasts. During the past year its advantages have been so appreciated that apple-Aden/ for the admission of a far greater number of children than could be provided for out of the limited funds of the society were made. There is at pre sent accommodation for 100, and the results of Saturday's proceedings will be that a considerable number of new derider will take place. Mr. R.

Just back from St. Petersburg, I was able during my stay there to appreciate for myself the sani tary state of the population, and I ma arum you, and my statement is ooufirmed by information I have just obtained from persons who left that city only four days ago, that neither at this moment nor at a previous period has there been any dimes° of thin nature.
