The first announcement made by the new Ministerial Leader of the House of Commons in his place in Parliament will be received with universal gratification. The Chancellor of the Exchequer stated that a despatch had just been received from the French Ambassador, in answer to one previously addressed to the French Government, and that " the painful misconcep tions which unhappily for a time subsisted between the Governments of the two countries have entirely terminated in a spirit friendly and hon ourable, and in a manner which will be as satis factory to the feelings, as it will be conducive to tike interests, of both nations." The correspon glance on this subject will be placed on the table the moment her Majesty's permission can be obtained. We may, therefore, reasonably antici pate that it will be before the public on Monday evening. They will then have an oppor tunity of judging for themselves of the anfficiency of the explanations, and whether they are such as to completely eradicate the supposed grievances that caused annoyance on either side. Until that time we must suspend our judgment. It is, however, scarcely to be alrPposed that the Right Hon. Gentleman would have made so distinct and positive a statement, if any doubt could exist as to the nature of these important documents. He could not fall into so grave an - error at the very commencement of his functionpaaassz factintential Minister of the Crown. The le affords an additional proof, if that were required, of the benefits resulting from prompt and free discussion. The neglect to an swer the despatch of Count WALEVLICI was a serious mistake. It was regarded in France as a virtual admission of the truth and accuracy of the statements contained therein. The bill of complaint was taken pro confesso, and the more s , because the l a t e C a bi ne t proceed e d to legiel:te tla ereon, without protesting against any o f th e to...c'etrti.earytl promulgated. It would h ave Prejudicialot to th e i n t eres t s not only of both nations, 1„ an should hav e b ee* civilis e d wor ld , that there ,pezt:twanent coldness, to say 'lathing of hohtilities believe that the beat was tonZ"irra e . v ,eattiswteo merit the respect of other States ; aacl while we carefully abstain from offering an aiTcont or an injury on any Government, however wea k, not to tolerate for a singl e undue assump t i ons on t he mom ent any part of the mos t po werful. Our English expo. rieence tells us that many difficulties, that might otherwise lead to untoward results, go no further than mere word ---and who has visited France, without witnessing disputes carried on in the most energetic language a nd with violent ges biculations, that lead to nothing further We rejoice to find that the House is disposed to rant the fair trial to the New Administration THE SUN, LONDON SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 13, 1858 which we have always advocated, and which they have a right to expect. Nay more, that even the Timers itself is becoming a convert to the opinions which we have put forward on that point. It may unquestionably be ♦ery inconvenient to have the progress of legislation suspended at the very com mencement or in the centre of a session. But it is an inseparable incident to Parliamentary government ; and unless reasonable allow• ances were made on the accession to office of a New Cabinet, we should practi cally be exposed to a monopoly of power, even tually leading to irresponsible authority. When a hostile vote has been arrived at virtually amounting to a want of confidence, or such as to lead to a resignation of those in office, Parlia ment must submit to the necessary consequences, and give the new men time to mature their plans, and to bring forward measures which they can confidently recommend, and on which they are prepared to stake their political characters. It is impossible to complain of the course adopted ; ♦otes were only asked on account in matters which could not be neglected consistently with the interests of the community. There is no desire to curtail in any degree the privilege of discussion, or to avoid due criticism on the acts of the Government, but while they are bring ing forward natters that have been bequeathed to them as legacies by their predecessors, it would obviously be premature to raise captious objections, or to refuse the opportunities of full explanations on every matter on which differences of opinion may be anticipated. The Navy and Army estimates were partially brought forward last night, and votes for four months taken on account. These rotes have been entirely framed on estimates prepared by the late Government, and were essential to the efficient management of the united services. It would have been impossible for the present heads of these important departments to have accurately investigated all the multitudinous details. At a later period, the sanction of the Houses will be asked to tile remaining balances, and then the views of the Government will be expressed thereon. Full liberty is retained to add, alter, or amend, as occasion may require ; but the First Lord of the Admiralty has candidly stated that he does not think he will be able to propose any reductions therein. There has been an increase in the number of seamen and boys, and in the Coastguard of 3,680, of which 2,000 are for service afloat, and 1,680 for the Coastguard, a very ♦aluable branch, the members whereof can be made available for gene ral service at a very brief notice. As, however, the number of seamen in actual employment exceeded by 860 the number voted in the original and supplementary estimates last Session, the total nominal increase will be reduced by that number, and the real addition will be 1,35 G seamen and 1,680 for the coast guard. Similar Totes for four months were taken for the Army, the nominal increase in the strength whereof is 3,339 men. But this by no means shows the real augmentation, as the troops trans ferred to the Indian establishment amount to no less than 62,54. The real addition to our military power will, therefore, be 65,881. We aro also informed that the number of enlistments, which within the last six months amounted to 343,000 men, was no less than 7,300 last month ; so that it is manifest there is no lack of the military spirit, when so many could be found to come forward freely and voluntarily to brave the dangers of the tented field, and all the casualties of hard serrice. Under the existing circumstances of the country we do not believe that there will be the slghtest disposition to cut down either branch for the sake of any paltry saving, which would, indeed, be a penny wise and pound foolish policy. The " pain ful misconception" with the French Government may have happily terminated. But still it is well to maintain the national defences, and our brave and hardy defenders in the highest state of effi ciency. The expense is a question of comparatively trivial importance. A single week of war would eost far more than the preparations which would prevent any reasonable prospect thereof. They may, therefore, be regarded as constituting an insurance fund to guarantee the nation against more serious cost and formidable injury. We are glad to find that the Lords of the Ad miralty have directed attention to the gun-boats now lying idle at Gosport, having directed in quimiles in order to ascertain how soon fifty of these very useful vessels could be got afloat, if required for service. The answer was, that they could be got ready, and under steam, in little more than 48 hours. We trust that this report will be forthwith acted on, and that ere long every one of those available will be commissioned and put in effective condition. W e have repeatedly ei plain° d the benefits that would result from the operations of our little fleet, both as Coastguards and along the coasts and in the rivers of India and China ; and should the Govern ment act thereon, it will establish for itself a strong claim on the thanks and gratitude of the nation. Lord MALMESSURY has now an opportunity to show the difference between himself and Lord CLIZEINDON, and to let Englishmen see whether the exchange was, so far as the Foreign-office is concerned, worth making. We do not now advert to the WALZWAI despatch ; there is another affair in hand, farther south, in which he may earn the laurels both of diplomatic firmness and of humanity. The Neapolitan insult, setting aside the cruelty, is, we think, quite as great, we should say greater, than that of WALEISSXI'S inconsiderate language. The cruelty and injustice cannot, however, be separated from the insult, for it is by them—by cruelty and injustice perpetrated on two poor sailors, —that England is treated with contumely. Our Viscounts and Earls, when outrageous lan guage is addressed to thorn, ought to be able to take care of themselves and of the English name too ; if they are not, it is now quite plain that the House of Commons will teach them their duty by rather sharp lessons. But two worthy Eng lishmen, of the mechanic glass—they have no means whatever of taking care of themselves, and especially when they are not merely threatened in words, but seized, shut up in a felon's dungeon, and for weeks or months, if we remember rightly, denied all access to a legal adviser, and even the ft . English Consul refu se d p erm i ss i on to see them. r, jus ,., t L i A. n it th ex i s p l o a N s , t s par im tie b u e l c a il r it t y ha b t e o g u in r s e . ensu H r e e c'orfuisl:Atit. iti%larlianav,e i t i is e i o sted at once on a person autho v,auptalain.eyexw:LthinaatNiozoaluitdanwaletegha.l n them for the adviser, att,,,titin,, sons having free acces s to ; an `t on these per- I ought to have denied to a: 5 7, ,11 t ", l 'AI"L• He right to exclude proper adviser:" -Seel St ate the -, and t o 1,,,,,,, . formed the brutal Monarch that, if ho rqusear% in this point to the practice of cieilistea Id deal with him as a barbarian, D C a o conform such force as a few days would amenable only to s h© should In his able enable hiai to assealble at nples. opinion, which appeared in The Sun of Thursday, Dr. PIIILLIILORA states this exclusion from legal advice to be "unjust and indefensible," on the general grounds of international law. We have accorded the just claim of a legal adviser to M. BEI.- NARD from the first moment of his arrest ; and had Lord CLARE); DON demanded and enforced this right, so utterly baseless is the charge, that we believe it would have been impossible to have committed the men, notoriously innocent as they are, for trial at all. However, for ten long months—during which Lord CLARENDON has been in receipt of his salary at the Foreign-office, and enjoying every comfort which his official quarters and his own fireside could furnish—for these ten long months have the two wards of our Foreign-office been groan ing under a Neapolitan incarceration, and sub jected to treatment which has almost deprived one of them of his reason. We repeat what we have said before, that Lord CLARENDON ought, if he held that the case must come to a trial, to have insisted on the bail of the British Government being accepted for their appearance on the day of trial. Whatever the charge, the evidence was so slight, that this demand night have been enforced without violating the reasonable comity of na tions. It was never even suggested. It was treated as merely an unlucky thing that the two men had got into such hands. We believe a Clioatavram, and a MILTON would have written an epistle to his Majesty that would have controlled such luck as that. We have had Ministers and Admirals, and Soldiers, and. Ambassadors, who held that bad luck was but another name for bad management, and who would have scorned to acknowledge the possibility of bad luck to Eng lishmen the hands of King 8031131'S police, while the nation was at the vast expense of Gib raltar, Malta, and a Mediterranean Fleet. But the ten months cannot be helped. They must remain as a lasting disgrace in history to Lord CLARENDON'S administration of the Foreign office. It is now Lord MALIIE3BURY'B turn. We have been disgraced as much as possible hitherto, let the tide now turn. We were glad to hear that a messenger was sent at once to Naples by the present Foreign Secretary. What his instructions were, and what the telegraph and express train will yet convey to him, is everything. The subject must soon be fully discussed in the House, for a peti tion has been sent up by the men of Newcastle on behalf of their fellow-townsmen WATT, and his fellow-prisoner PARK, requesting that the House will " instantly demand through the Government the release of their unfortunate fellow-country ' men," also that satisfaction will be sought for the outrage committed against England, and compen sation, such as is now possible, for the injured men. These demands are by no means exces sive, and the petition must not lie dormant. Under e.!l the circuinstances, nothing teas ough! - , to be asked, nothing less accepted. We have ample noans to enforce them, for Sicily needs but the word, and the sight of our ships, and a guarantee never again to be recalled, and the gaoler of our countrymen would find that in seizing and impri soning Englishmen groundlessly for ten months, he had indeed caught a Tartar. Since the publication of that able civilian Dr. PRILLIMORE'S opinion, in writing thus, we write not mere British sentiment, but the mere teaching of international law. Lucidly has the Doctor gene through all the pleas of the Neapolitan Court for the seizure of the Cagliari, and shown how utterly false and bad they are. The Neapolit3.n. judges plead piracy—Dr. Puriamaratß shows that they or the officers they defend were the pirates. The Cagliari had not left Genoa as a pirate ; when seized she was not engaged in acts of piracy ; her papers, the admitted legal test, were papers regu larly granted by the Sardinian authorities. She had fallen, indeed, into the hands of those who might properly be called pirates, but no legal maxim is more sure than that possession by pirates cannot interfere with the rights of the lawful possessor, and the Cagliari was, when taken, in the hands of those who had been, and were, her lawful possessors. But if one lie will not do, a conflicting lie must be tried. First, the Cagliari was a pirate—this being felt to be false ground, she must next be brought under the category of a vessel of war, and dealt with as the hostile ships of a regular enemy ! The Doctor shows the im possibility of both charges being true. But taking the last, he proves that under no recognised in ternational law could the seizure of the Cagliari be for a moment justified. Such of our readers as may have passed over the Doctor's reasonings, supposing them to be a dry legal document, would, we believe, be gratified by turning to it again, and following the Doctor in his careful and spirited refutation of Neapolitan sophistry. Wait—trim mers may say —f or t h e result of the trial ;y es , wait till the opportunity of asserting our .c a ru n eia d at uo o dr u ,e r ws dignit yretire eu ip h ut a i do s ins p ga a rn s a s de e e d p; a eifr w j a u y ry ! If w thecon victedlawful m by e b u e positionha c s as enabled Biomes. to chain POERIO by heavy irons to a felon, what are we to do then ? Are we to be judges of the judgment of a court which we have allowed to take its own course ? We have one course fairly open—to support by our fleet the Sardinian demand for the restitution of a vessel and crew piratically seized by the Neapo litans, and to dare FERDINAND to refuse it. Of course we are thankful for the assurances of the Chancellor of the Exchequer last night ; but ho must be prepared with the arguments which alone have weight with the King of NAPLES. ilt is amusing, but at the same time, strange to I say, it is eminently saddening to remark the total, the utter, the absolute incapacity of foreign nations to understand the working of our Parlia mentary system. There was the Gazette de France the other day pointing the finger of scorn, with an air almost of commiseration, at England, because of the latest result of this Parliamentary system —the sudden change of our Government'. Scorn from one entirely unconscious of a native Senate, without freedom of speech in the Tribune, and a deliberative Assembly without the capacity for deli ( 1 beration ! There is something pitiable in pity such as this—pity so blind a►nd so deaf, so inca pable of discrimination, the subject of such bewildering monomanias, the victim of such astounding hallucinations. It would, of course, be altogether beside the mark to suggest to the Gazette de France that, instead of a change of Cabinets resulting from an unexpected division of a chamber of representatives—there might pos sibly, just possibly, be changes of Ministries con sequent upon the whims of irresponsible Sove reigns. Those, however, who think as the Ga-;ate de France thinks upon these problems of Govern ment, are not for a moment to be reasoned with. Their opinions are only to be looked to as start ling phenomena to bo wondered at, but, as poor mortals, without the chance of our comprehending them. We can only venture to gage at them throughm 2E1.. this attention humble n a d smoked-glasses, llfeaosrss spirit just u oft passing ae curiosityn moment e may nat n d t do o u j ti t , h i z e: c r:a t t os fot.l:nglish a r i: e c le e 0: 1 eclipse e p t s t ht e ee o d f ee M ciel o irp n a3 d ne a y afternoo ri • We e of in the luminous s. c the matter of spectacle such as tlxi4 serves only with us upon occasion to dash away a fair hope as to the political emancipation of this or that continental population. It reminds us that if we can construct in a few months a modern Ark like our new sea monster the Leviathan, and that if we could seven years ago run up a mag nificent palace of metal and crystal upon the green sward of Hyde Park, almost as it were in a single night like the fairy palace of Aladdin, we can never hope in a like time to manufacture an oak out of an acorn. Neither can we seriously speculate now a-days on the beautiful day - dream once upon a time so fascinating to political visionaries, of building up in a day constitutions requiring for their growth the lapse of many centuries. It reminds us, moreover, that the oak of our con stitution has needed more than a thin shallow soil for its expansion from the seedling acorn of the these giant popular old Wittenagemota So that tim e an d space a lik e have to be regarded as essential matters of con sideration Legislatures.

The ruinous and disgraceful competition lately carried on between the Great Northern and London and North Western Railways:was terminated yesterday by a reso lution to return to the ordinary fares. The iniluerica of other companies indirectly affected is said to have been exercised to produce this result,—Times. We have reason to believe that Lord John Beresford, Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of all Ireland, has resigned his see into the hands of the new Government, and that he will be succeeded by the Right Rev. Dr. O'Brien' Bishop of 'leery. The late Archbishop was born in 1773, graduated at Christ Church, Oxford, in 1793, was consecrated Bishop of Cork in 1806, trans lated to Rephoe in 18)7, to Clogher in 1819, to the Archbishopric of Dublin in 1820, and to the Primacy of Ireland in 1822. It is said that Dr. 0 Brien will be suc ceeded in the see of Ossory by Archdeacon Gould. BOILER ElPLOSlON.—Yesterday a very shocking and fatal accident took place at the house of Mr. J. Turner, of Godley, near Hyde, Cheshire. About half-past 8 o'clock,the boilerwith o u i nt giving any warning of impending dan ger, the kitchen exploded with a loud report, blowing out a piece of the wall at the end of the house, which is a detached building, causing the instantaneous death of Mr. Turner's daughter, a young lady of about 19 years of age, who was in the kitchen at the time. The boiler had a self-feeding apparatus, but it is sup pesed that it had been choked and the supply of water had failed. It is said the boiler had no lid or safety valve, and hence there Was no exit for the steam. MR. BAHIA M.P.—We learn that our county mem ber has been prevailed on to accept the office of Secre tary to the Board of Control in the Derby adininistra ,ti ,n. In the earliest uno:rosial programme of the distribution of appointments, Mr. Baillie's name appeared in connection with the Board of Control ; but it subsequently disappeared, to the surprise of friends as well as of oppenents. We believe that the delay was occasioned by a disinclination on the part of Mr. Baillie to accept office, and that it was with reluctance he ulti mately acceded to the urgent request of the chief of his party to undertake the management of Indian affairs in the House of Commons ; the head of his department, Lsrd Ellenborough, representing government in the House of Lords.—lnreeness Advertiser. The temper in which Mr. Disraeli's silence as to his future policy was resented by some of the more zealous supporters of the late Government indicates pretty plainly the degree in which the new leader of the House of Commons may rely on the forbearance of those whom his accession to office has unavoidably irritated. The country will feel no great sympathy with an Opposition whose animating principle is vindictive disappointment, but the house will probably evince quite as little for the politician whose ascent to a high parliamentary position has certainly not been marked by any sensitive abstin ence from personal attack. The re-appearance of Mr. Bernal Osborne in his old character was the signal for hilarious applause, and the house, never unfriendly to vivacious mischief, testified a keen appreciation of the fact, that the Monn; of faction was once more freed from 01.3 encumbering decencies of office. From an enemy whose principal inspiration is rancour and whose main artillery is coarseness, no Administration in this country has much to fear.—Morning Paper. THE MISCONCEPTION" BETWEEN FRANCE AND ENGLAND.—It is understood that the correspondence which has passed between the two Governments will be laid before both Houses of Parliament on Monday. It is composed of a series of despatches, the last of which, closing the correspondence, arrived yesterday afternoon, jest before the house met. Both Lord Malmesbury and Count Walewski, it is affirmed, have throughout shown great judgment and discretion. In reply to Lord Mal mesbury's request for an explanation of those passages which have se much offended the House of Commons, Count Walewski very frankly reinindsthe country of the undoubted proofs given by the Emperor of the value he attaches to our alliance by his concessions to our views, both during the war and since the conclusion of the treaty of peace. He proceeds to observe that after the Emperor had been many times exposed to and escaped attacks made by assassins who were proved to have concocted their plans in England, he thought it no presumption to appeal to the friendly feeling and jus tice of our nation to prevent, if possible, a recurrence of such crimes. Count Waiewski repudiates, in the Em peror's name, any idea of wishing to include Englishmen in the category of the refugees to whom he alluded, or of a desire to change our laws, or an intention to con demn them; but now, regretting the misconstructioa placed on his intention, he requests that the correspond ence may cease, and the alliance continue. —Times. Dn. GUTHRIE ON THE " WEEKLY OFFERTORY."—The following is an extract of a letter addre,sed by the Rev. Dr. Guthrie to a gentleman in Manchest er' who is eon ' elected with a well-known section of th e Church of Eeg laild, in reply to questions as to the desirableness of substituting weekly collections for pew rents :—"Net only do we collect voluntary offerings at every public meeting for worship on the Lord's-day, but on week days at prayer meetisge, whether these ba held in the school-room or the church. In some of our churches we have pew rents, in many of them none ; and so far from objecting to the substitution of velars:ivy offer ings for these, we would much prefer the volen tary offerings if they would serve the purpose. We would say that pew rents should not be attempted wherever an attempt is making to even geliza a heathen district of any of our large towns. Were voluntary offerings universal in your English churches, as they should be, you could raise an immense revenue for the glory of God and the service of the church. In my congregation alone, whore we collect voluntary at both forenoon and afternoon worship, we receive about 1001. annually of voluntary offerings, and this besides raising about as much from pew rents, and about 1;100/. for a fund out of which all the ministers of the Free Church receive an equal share. That fund, to which congregations give according to their ability, amounts to about 100,0001. a-year. The income of the Free Church, all voluntary, is about 300,0001. annually; and if we is our poor country—p ,or as compared with England—raise such a sum as that from our share of the population, amounting to about 1,000,000, what might the Church of England do did she put forth her vast resources ? Including one thing and another—l mean stipend and the value of a manse and garden—none of our ministers have under 1501. a-year. Unendowed as we are now by the State, we are better off than very man y of the clergyneen of the Church of England. That shows what can be done through the voluntary o ff er i n gs of the people." NOISES EHITTID RY Demo has under taken to study the mechanism by which fish produce sounds. That certain fish are capable of producing curious noises has been known since the time of Aristotle and spoken of by Cuvier and other celebrated natural istsfo rre cipo ; he y i n a st d il oy e l s oo d gbys m e r a or n f e y d n d c i s h e p i p h l e e n e o f re l e s n a a a .k ButW an t l t h e : r n m e u n b e t a n h ave ever beau hinted at. th T es h e e authoracoustic w e hav e properties ju s e h m a e s n h ti a o r n d e l y d assures us that the anatomical study of various fish has proved to him that in some the males possess an organ capable of producing sounds, whilst the females either are deprived of it, or it is so modifted as to remain for ever silent. Thus, in the males of the two species, ophilium barbattun of Cuvier, and 0. vassali of Risso, p two o w fi e d c al h an r a ei r all b s i s 4 v n t ° t e ' a s i c ei h e e w d a i , a b 4 c b c i o e t rb°deti nrproducingois s d n e a i n e o e g ' n ea muscles.nodr In the females of these two species, however, the classes s m allbones sounds and produced m uBe ley arefi swanti ng,hinto D two distinctu fosse cate gories—the first, which be calls abnormal sounds, are those produced when the animal is taken out of its native element ; they may be attributed to all kinds of organs, vary constantly, are accompanied by convulsive move ments, and can in no way characterise the fish, or its sex. The second, called normal sounds, are always formed by the same ()rpm!, and are characteristic of the fish which produces them. As it plays no part whatever in the pro duction of the latter, no bubbles of gas are observed to be emitted during their manifestation. In a fish called by the French " eaurel" (trachurus), a species of scomber or mackerel, very common on the coasts of France, and which, if seized by the back fin when swimming, endea vours to escape, whilst if it is touched on any other part of the body, remains perfectly quiet, and emits a kind of harsh noise. The author has ascertained that the noise was produced by the friction of the superior bones of the pharynx against the lower ones, and the surrounding awriiiel or rough parts of the fauces,—lllus‘rated Inventor, TT' 'k EXECUTION OF ORSINI AND PIERRI. (BY SUBMARINE AND BRITISH TELEGRAPH.) We have received the following telegram from our Paris correspondent : " PARIS, SATURDAY, MARCH 13. " At 7 o'clock precisely this morning Orsini and Pierri were executed on the Place de la Roquette." Intelligence has been received from Constanti nople to the 6th. The Persian troops hare beaten, at Karakan, a numerous body of Karaks, who designed to enter the country to co-operate with the revolted Indian Sepoys. Prince Adalbert, of Bavaria, was present at a grand fete given in his honour by the French am bassador. The Sultan was to invite the prime° to a state dinner, previously to his departure. Quarrels of race were becoming every day more violent in the Turkish empire. The Bulgarians refuse to pay the dues to the Greek Patriarch; and the Pacha of Trebizond has issued a circular accusing the Christians of being deficient of respect to the Mussulmans. The Presse d'Orient states that the conflagration of the governor's palace at Adrianople was the re sult of a plot, tho boys having refused all assist ance."

TO TUE EDITOR OF THE SIIN. Stn,—l was pleased to see yesterday in the columns of a morning contemporary allusion made by a correspondent who signs himself " Jehu," to the omission of Mr. Warren's name from the list of the New Ministry. I entirely concur in the tribute paid by Jehu to the courage and eloquence di-played by the Recorder of Hull on the memora ble occasion of the introduction of the Conspiracy Bill, and consider that the least Lord Derby could do, when he prepared his programme for the public, was to reward those energies which had contributed so much to place him in his high position. Since the time of the " Chief Butler," however, prosperity has almost invariably l e d t o th e forget fulness of services, and decent mediocrity has been preferred to merit. Mr. Warren has, howeve r , th e conso l a ti on o f knowing that his character and integrity have made him respected by those who differ from him in political views, and that they feel indignant at the slight he has experienced. In the event of a vacancy on the Bench, which is expected at no very distant period, and may pos sibly happen during the reign of the present Minis try, the elevation of the learned Recorder of Hull to a seat in which he may find fitter scope for those high judicial qualities he has shown in a subordi nate capacity, would be at once endorsed with public approbation. I am, sir, yours obediently, London, March 12. FAIR PLAY. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The following circular has been issued from the recruiting department, Horse Guards, dated March 4 : " At the instance of the Secretary of State for War the General Commanding-in-Chief directs it to be notified that soldiers who have purchased their discharge, or ob tained a free discharge by indulgence, and who subse quently re-enlist within two years after their discharge, will be allowed to reckon their former service towards pen sion ; which regulation, however, is only to apply to men who have re-enlisted or may re-enlist after the 30th of Jane, 1857 " By command of his Royal Highness the General Corn. naancling-in-Chief. " G. A. WETHERALL, Adjutant-General." Orders hare been received at Sheerness Dock yard to lay down the lines immediately for a new screw frig,ite, to be named the Orestes, and to be commenced on the building slip immediately the Clio, now building, is launched, which will be in all probability about Juno next. The Orestes will be 225 feet between the perpendiculars, being 25 feet longer than the Clio, and 4 inches more beam, this class of frigate, or rather corvette, being found most desirable in the British navy, more especially as we have so many three deckers and line-of-battle ships both building and ready for sea. The new Lords of the Admiralty having inquired yesterday of the Portsmouth authorities how soon 50 gunboats could be got afloat if wanted for service, Col. Greene, the Admiralty engineer, was despatched to Gosport to ascertain practically the answer. At Gosport the gunboats are hauled up under sheds, where they are under the attention of a staff of engi neers of the steam fleet in reserve. A trial of the new machinery just completed by Messrs. Hum phrey, Tennant, and Dyke, of Deptford, was accordingly ordered, with the object of answering the question of the Admiralty. The machinery principally consists of an enormous endless screw 126 feet in length (the longest in use), by 6 inches diameter, and weighing four tons, in one continu ous piece. The trial was made in the presence of his Royal Highness Prince Alfred, Colonel Green, Captain Dacres, C. 13., and the principal officers of the dockyard, when a gunboat of 80-horse power was drawn out of its shed across the transverse lines to the launching rails in the short space of six minutes. Therefore, it is estimated that in little better than 48 hours 50 gunboats could be afloat and under steam. The action of the whole machin ery, with screw, was much admired by the scientific staff present, and Messrs. Humphrey and Co. were congratulated upon its highly satisfactory and ex peditious working. The Melampus, 42-gun sailing frigate, which, until relieyed by the Arrogant steam frigate. was the Coastguard ship for Southampton water, having been dismantled, was taken up and placed in or dinary at Portsmouth yesterday. The ithatlaman t h ll9 steam storesbip, Master Commauder Sturdee, left Portsmouth yesterday for Woolwich. The Renown, 91, Captain Forbes, will try her speed at the measured mile in Stokes's Bay to-day, Detachments of volunteers from the Limerick and Roscommon Regiments of Militia (now at Al derskott) have this week joined the now cavalry regimenti(the 18th Hussars) at Leeds Barracks, and there is every probability of the regiment being soon filled up. The head-quarters have this week been joined by Major Jenyns and other officers. The Argus, revenue screw yacht, Com wander J. W. S. Grandy, arrived at Sheernes, yesterday, having Commodore C. Rion, comptroller general of the coast-guard, on board, and flying his pennant of red at the main. The gallant commodore's ob ject for visiting there was to inspect the screw coast guard ships fitting for sea at that port. The Arrogant, 47, screw, Captain Leopold G. Heath, C. 8., has fielded topmast and pointed top galla.utniasts in the steam basin at Portsmouth Dockyard. She will haul out of the basin next week. The Blenheim, GO, screw block ship, Captain Francis Scott, C. 8., we hear has at length dis covered the cause of her leakage, arid she will be enabled to go out of dock at Portsmouth the next springs. The Duke of Wellington, 131, screw, Captain Harry Eyers, CB., has - completed the recoppuring to the load water line, and will haul out of the steam basin dock the next spring tides. The Cressy, 84, screw, Captain Edward Pellew Halsted, is ordered to haul into No. 3 dry dock at Sheerness next week, when the Majestic, 84, screw, fitting at prcstnt for second-class steam reserve, will haul out of that dock. The cause of her being redocked again is solely occasioned through the late accident, when she was driven with great force stern on to the basin wall. The Lapwing, despatch gun vessel, Commander 0. Reilly, having had all her defects made good, went out of Devonport Ha►bour oil Thursday, and now only waits her sailing orders. The Orlondo, 50, screw frigate, building at Pembroke, is now so far completed that a few months will rnak(a her ready for launching, and this event is likely to take place early in the summer, probably at the commencement of June. This magnificent frigate will be the first launched of the half-dozen ordered to compete with the monster American frigates. She is the largest frigate in the service, being about 360 feet in length over all. Two other first-class ships, the Revenge, 91, line of-battle screw, and Aurora, 51, first-class screw frigate, are also very much advanced in emstruc tion. The Racoon, 22, screw, Capt. J. A. D. Payeter, will (weather permitting) take her trial at the mea nurod mac at Stokes Bay on Tuesday next, the 16th inst. The Scout, 21, screw corvette, fitting for first class steam reserve at Sheerness, is rigged with top gallantrnasts an end. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.--(This Day.)

(Before tare Lurd Cnancelior and the Lords Justices.) IN RE ARMSTRONG.-LUNATIC PETITION. The Solicitor -General (Mr. Cairns, Q.C.) stated the object of the petition to the Court, viz.—That there should be an account taken.of the personal estate of the lunatic. That the Master in Lunacy should make out scheme. That the costs of all parties should be taxed ; and that some instruction as to the payment of these costs should be given the next time the case appears be fore the court. That the funds should be made subject to the payment of costs an maintenance. Mr. Malins.—Two thousand a-year should be paid. Lord Justice Knight Bruce. —In case the lady should question this, some one should appear for her. There are no panics bere but-parties who are very anxious to benefit her ; hut same one should be here, or perhaps should attend before the Master, and appear for the lunatic. Some person should be instructed to appear for her. The Lord Chancellor.—The Master of the Rolls will appear for the lady. Lord Justice Knight Bruce.—The trustees will ap pear before the Master of the Rolls as a committee. Appoint them a committee, and they will have a locus staadi to appear. His lordship thought that the might not be so well here as in her own country. That concessions should be made on both sides to bring this' case with which the Court had been so much troubled to an amicable termination. The Lord Chancellor said that the Court would give the Master power to make a temporary Bch6me. Lord Justice Knight Bruce said that as Mrs. Arm• strong had no objections to Miss Gardner as her corn • panion, he hoped that something would be done by way of accommodation, for it was impossible to allow such scenes in court to go on. There must be some way taken to compromise it, or the Court will take some method to settle it. Lord Justice Turner—The Court can make an order that there should be some immediate temporary provi sion made. Lord Justice Knight Bruce—lt is hoped that the Court will not find it necessary to interfere with the strong hand. Solicitor-General—l hope so. _ _ Their Lordships ordered the Master to make out a scheme within a short time, and to report by Friday. PROBATE COURT. (Before Sir C. Creswell, Judge Ordinary.) IN RE ELIZABETH HOW, DECEASED. Dr. Deane applied for the granting of probate of the last will and testament of the deceased Elizabeth How as though she were a widow under the following thrum. stances :—The testatrix died oo the 2Gth February, 1857, having made her last will. &0., on 25th January of that year. At that time it was not known whether her husband was living, or dead. On the 23d February, 1850, her husband left Eng l and for the United States, and arrived at New York on the 6th April following, and on the Bth April went by steamer to Albany, United. States, which he reaohed on the 9th of that month, but from that time to the present nothing had been heard of him. Ia her iffetime the testatrix caused inquiries to be made relative to her husband in America, Australia, and the Cape of Good Hope, and also caused advertisements to be inserted in newspapers in those countries, but without effect. Since the testatrix's death the executor had made similar inquiries but without any satisfactory result, and it was prayed that the court would be pleased to grant probate in this case as the , will of a widow. Sir C. Cresewell said he thought he might very safely grant probate in this case as the will of a widow. Seven years appeared to have expired between the has band's leaving and the making of the will and death of the testatrix, and from inquiries that had been made there was good ground for believing the husband was dead. Probate granted accordingly. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AMUSEMENTS OF MEDICAL STUDENTS.-Wm. Brown, Fred. Watkins, Alfred Brown, and Richard Thomson, medical students, were placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham for creating a disturbance at four o'clock this morning by knocking at doors. Police-constable Mee said about four o'clock this . morning, while in Brewer-street, he heard violent knocking at the doors, hallooing, and shouting. lie told the prisoners to go ►way quietly. He followed them into Little Windmill-street and into Poland-street, where he saw one of them go up to three or four doors, knock at one door loudly, and he then heard something drop on the pavement, wnen he took out his rattle and called for assistance. . Police-constable 112 C said he went to the other constable's assistance, and opposite No. 56 he picked up a knocker which had been wrenched from the door. On examining the door he found the knocker was gone. Emma 'Peale, the landlady of the house, said she was greatly alarmed by the knocking ; ebe thought there was a fire. Th• knocker was worth 68. The prisoners said they had nothing to day to the charge._ Al 7. Biughana Isola Lb. charge ssivAirkeb 'Llama WAS for being drunk, knocking at people's doors, and shouting at four o'clock in the morning. Such conduct would not be allowed, and he thought if be inflicted such a fine as would affect their pockets it would be a warning to tbeca for the Mare. The prisoners were then fined 40s. each, and 6s. for the value of the knocker. THAMES. BCIEGLARY AND ROBBERY.—Henry Williams, a wen known thief, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with burglariously breaking into and entering the dwel ling-horse of Mr. John George Wicker, No. 237, High street, Shadwell, and stealing therefrom various ar ticled of wearing apparel, and a piece of Coburg cloth. The prosecutor stated that he left home last Tuesday evening, and returned at nine o'clock, and found that his house had been burglariotsly entered, and missed a pair of trousers, a vest, and a piece of Coburg cloth. His drawers had been ransack e d in search of money, but the thief or thieves were unable to find any. Richard Howitt, of No. 1, Hampton-court, Fish. street, St. George's-in -the-East, stated that he saw the prisoner three doors from the house of the prosecutor, with two men. He watched them and saw the prisoner walk close to Mr. Wicker's door pnd reconnoitre, and alio heard him say to his companions, " a good place to go to, we shall get some swag (property) here. He saw two of the men come out ?f Mr. Wicker's house, each with a large bundle under his. arm. The prisoner was with them, and he ran down they . street opposite with the m . Il e t o ld Mr. Wicker what.; he had seen on the following day. He knew the other men. Mr. Selfe—What are their names Witness—One is called Gasman and the other Lucifer, (A. laugh.) Mr. Sdfe—Light and darkness. The prisoner asked Howell if he ever saw him before Witness—Yes, on Tuesday evening we had some gicn together. Michael Crawley stated that between 6 and 7 o'clock he saw the prisoner near Mr. Wicker's house. The prosecutor said he had missed other properity besides the articles he had mentioned. The prisoner, on being called upon for his defence*, said, "I am as hinnocent as hany hinfant, my lord." the prisoner was remanded until Thursday, and the police ‘N ere directed to look after the Gasman and Lucifer. FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. The Regency Privy Council met to-day. There was perhaps more than one matter to ba taken into consideration, but the principal point was that of the Italian prisoners under sentence of death in the prison of the Riquette. The Council opposed any commutation of punishment for several reasons, namely, ►he number of victims killed, wounded, or disabled for life by their crime. If any life be spared, it is that of De Rudio. It is contended that this man acted in all probability under re straint, or rather under menace, and it is remem bered that, on a former occasion, he was wounded with a poignard for what his fellow-conspirators no doubt called weakness or cowardice, but which he would term remorse. The execution is said to be fixed for to-morrow morning at day break, and two only, namely, Orsini and Pierri, will mount the scaffold. The wife of Da Rudio, with her child, has been in Paris for some days. , The effect produced by the pamphlet "Napo leon 111. et l'Angicterre" on the public gener ally is favourable. It is undeniable, however, that the great body of the people, whose well-being chpends on peace and amity with England, and who, notwithstanding all appearance to the con trary, would consider a rupture as one of the greatest calamities that could befall the country, are well pleased with the continuance of friendly relations of which the brochure gives assurance. It is stated as a fact that the resumption of the Conspiracy to Murder Bill is not demanded by this Government. The Emperor, it is said, Bets too high a value on maintaining friendship and alliance with England to insist on a measure which con cerns himself personally, and which is thought to be distasteful to the English people. He perhaps also believes that, even if passed under such circum stances as the present, it would hardly be ever executed, and the feeling in England might be oue of coldness and estrangement, with little or no com pensation. The accounts of Prince Jerome's health this even ing are not encouraging. Ho is suffering under a very severe attack of influenza, and, at his age, this is rather serious. The Moniteur says :—" The indirect revenues of the month of February exceed those of the corre sponding month of 1857 by 2,251,000 f., and if it be taken into account that the second decime on regis tration dues has ceased to exist since the beginning of the present year, the improvement is in reality 4,269,000 f. The month of January had shown an amelioration of 2,100,000 E, so that the increase for the two months amounts to 6,369,000 f." Tii e'Phare tie la Loire, says :—" Two shells found at NLtussave have been deposited at the parquet of Aix. They appear to be of a similar manufacture to those used on Jan. 14, but the screws are different."

The Iberia and the Espana say that the Marquis de Turgot, the French ambassador, is about to be recalled. The congress had again been occupied during an entire sitting in discussing the budget, but its debates presented nothing of interest. The Espana, referring to a statement in a foreign newspaper, that Spain is making Dr9parations for military operations in conjunction with France in Cochin China, says that all Spaiu is going to do is what was announced some time ago, namely, to send some battalions and artillery and two vessels of war to the Philippines to second France in obtaining reparation for the outrages to Spanish sotmhee post inten o t f iono f missionaries. The Spanish fleet at Cuba c ons i s t s oales had Brav hoad of of 32 vessels, soma of them large ones. It was sa id that the depriving government Gonzales Am bassador at London, and M. Rances of that of Ambassador at Brazil, but had abandoned it. The Belgian Chamber of Representatives at its sitting of yesterday adopted unanimously and with» out discussion the treaty of commerce with Sar dinia. A letter from the Hague, of the 10th, says that the Ministerial crisis continued. The King bad given another audience to M. Roclaussen ; and afterwards M. Tets Van Goudrian, commissioner in the province of Zealand, had been summoned. The government of the principality of the junior branch of Reuss h as d ec id e d th a t the special xnill tary tribunal shall no longer have jurisdiction in civil causes in which soldiers are concerned, but only in criminal ones ; and that civil causes shall be tried,,by the civil tribunals.

We learn that the Danish cabi ne t h as i ns t ruc t e d its envoy to the Diet to make confidential overtures of Frankfurt on terms which, if not completely satisfactory, may at least servo as basis for fresh negotiations." --- A letter from Vienna, in the Wurtemberg Moniteur, says :—"ln consequence of the dis turbances in Turkey continuing to extend, a body of 25,00 U men ara to be concentrat at S ewari to ke e p Montenegro and the Herze govina in cheek.

HEaIING TEADB.—WICIC, March 4.—By th e latest accounts from Ireland it appears only a few of the n arkets have shown symptoms of improvement. The , others continue rather dull, prices rang i ng f rom 30e, to• 343. The period of Leit will b e o ver i n a mon th, an d if is feared prices will thou decline, but the stock over can- - not be heavy. The latest advices from Stettin quot' f full crown brands at $l2. per barrel, and some few sale ,a were made at that figure. Full unbranded fik th are quoted at $lO. ; spent at $9. The quantity of tl re two latter qualities was large, and there were r to sales. One or two cargoes were shipped here th its week for Ireland, and some others are to follow for cant if nental ports. Accounts have been received of the Norse( s• giau ft- hing, which is represented as being very heavy ; prices in some instances being as low as 2s. 6d. per crag. • This will tend to keep down prices in Baltic ports, at though the greater part of the catch is consumed in Russis and Sweden. The season is now approaching when prepare - hoes are usually made for the Lewis fishing. The pries of the cran is talked of at lls. to 125., but &barmen is this quarter are not likely to engage larg-ly in it at these + prices, as the fishing hitherto has not paid them, • Some curen, too, who embarked in the trade last yea!
