During the recess the interior of the Amphitheatre has been entirely redecorated and embellished, and surrounded with costly and unique Lustres, and a new gigantic and most beautiful Centre CRYSTAL CIIANDELIER, manufactured by Defiles and Son, of Houndsditch. The whole energy of the proprietor has been directed to gathering to gether, in one body, CELEBRITIES both Dramatic and Eques trian, who have each achieved success. He has not hesitated to expend immense labour and capital in its accomplishment, and looks, with hope, for the fullest patronage of the public. ..* In active preparation, a New Grand Milit ar y Sp ec t ac l e , founded upon the French Drama, "Llllistoire d'un Drapean" (now performing, with great success, in Paris), and entitled— " THE HISTORY OF A FLAG."

Last night the Reform Bill was heaved through another debate ; why it should have been left till Monday to be subjected to a repetition of the pro cess we can hardly conceive. We had the other day to describe in our columns a wringing and washing machine; the merit of its performance in regard to the former operation was that by one passage through the rollers all the water was got out of the linen, and the fabric left dry. We are quite sure that passing through one debate squeezed almost all the interest out of the Reform Bill, and last night brought out hardly a single drop more. We glance impatiently through the speeches, and find nothing but the old objections and the old answers. One side saying there is no clamour for a bill, the other making answer that a quiet politi cal season is just the time to discuss so grave a business as amending our representation. One party telling us that the old electors are to be swamped by a vast homogeneous constituency of.six pounders, the other trying to prove that the addition to the electors will be much smaller than is stated, and that the classes lying between £6 and £lO rentals are the very aristocracy of working men. Mr. MassEv got very warm over the wrongs of Salford. He acknowledged that the proposals for augmenting the franchise were not so bad, but the re-distribution of seats, he thought, a miserable failure. Salford still had but one member. He singly had to attend to the Parliamentary affairs of 100,000 people, whose increase only of electors since the Reform Bill exceeded the entire electors, of four little favourite boroughs of Lord JOHN, in cluding the Bedford boroughs of Tavistock and Wycombe. What will Lord JOHN say to the in discretion of naming Bedford nomination boroughs for disfranchisement, and that, too, in order to sup ply independent constituencies like Salford with another member ? Mr. MASSEY would have pre ferred that the re-distribution of seats had been left untouched for another bill. We differ from him in that. If we could get only a pair of Seats more honestly allotted in any bill we would take them. Never refuse money—is a good maxim in business; and never refuse conces sion of a right, however small, is a good maxim in politics. Mr. MASSEY need not fear that changing twenty-five; seats will settle that part of the ques tion. Indeed, to do him justice, he argues that it cannot, but that he shall, very reluctantly, be obliged to turn agitator for further reforms. If any contribution of worth was made last even ing in the course of the debate, it was by Mr. BAINES. Nearly all the rest of the speaking was simply party speaking ; but Mr. BAINES fur nished som; facts which do aid us in seeing the probable working of the bill. He had ap plied to the Treasurer of the Borough of Leeds, who by the aid of an experienced rent col- pose." In all this we get a pcep at facts ; and they are, we must confess, more in favour of the working of the new franchise, so far as these vast manufac turing towns are concerned, than we had ventured to anticipate. We all wish the better class of workmen to have a vote: In Leeds they will have it—will have it in no outrageous disproportion; and all will go on there, doubtless, much as before. When a Liberal like Mr. BAINES, a dissenter, but of the thoroughly Whig school, seems to have no fear for his seat, and after careful investigation of the facts on the spot, not to have the least feeling that the £6 franchise is too radical, we think we may venture to console all the Whig Liberals, who somewhat quake for theirposition in the large towns. A few of them may have to MOTO on a little—to accept the Ballot for instance, if they have hitherto op posed it, and that will be all. The entire propor tion of non-electors to the old cannot be, it appears, such as to " swamp" the latter. Under this Bill the registered electors in boroughs will be about 607,000. Well, this is just about the number of adult males of the upper and middle classes in our boroughs. Again supposing the operative classes admitted by the bill to amount to 120,000 or at most to 150,000, that would make them but one-fourth of the electoral constituency—a propor tion which, considering their vast number, cannot surely be thought large. On whichever side we view the extension, we can see no cause for alarm on the part of the most timid. Of course, for our selves, we never had any. We have the fullest faith in the principle that to make men quiet, contented, loyal citizens, nothing is so effectual as to grant them equal civil and political privileges. Working men, like all other men, have honest, loyal English hearts in the main ; and our safest reliance is not on unjust exclusions, which fret them, but on the confidence which begets confidence. A more ludicrous illustration of the absurdities to which a false principle may lead grave and learned men, can hardly, perhaps, be found than in the " grievance" attacked last Wednesday by Mr. DILWYN, and defended by the Government agent for such business, Mr. LOWE—the Right Honour able R. LOWE we ought to say —he who has prudently escaped from the stones and brick bats of Kidderminster, to nestle senatori• ally in the arms of Lord LANSDOWNE, at Calne. The amusing thing is, that in this blessed era of" light and knowledge," the Courts of Law, and pre-eminently the Court of ChanCery, know of no religion in the land but that of the Prayer-book and Articles. Roman Catholic cathedrals and chapels cover Ireland and are common enough hero. Wesleyans of four or five kinds proclaim on large stone buildings, that they worship there according to JOHN WESLEY and "the Conference." Baptists, Independents, and we know not how many less numerous bodies of persons, have erected in every town, and almost village, buildings which every passer-by knows to be appropriated to nothing but the worship of GOD; and, lastly, the irrefutable census tells us that the majority of the worship pers of the country worship in these buildings— buildings in which the reading of the prayers and the articles is never heard. Yet grave and learned men sitting on the seat of justice declare that they know nothing of all this religion ! It may be religion, for aught they can tell, the religion possibly of the greater number, but it is religion unknown to law. No judge can take account of it. As religious men, from Roman Catholics to Quakers, the worshippers in these buildings have no more existence than slaves have as men at all, in the law of the United States. As the poor slaves there are chattels, not men ; so all non-conformists are men, indeed, but not religious men ; they may have a creed and worship, but they have legally no religion. This pleasant little bit of legal drollery, which one would suppose to be merely an obsolete quip or quirk of courts at the present day, is however, credite posteri, paraded before the Houses of Parliament as real wisdom ! Judges do really act upon it. Not long ago they decreed that some Dissenting trustees must be removed from the trusts of the Ilminster Grammar School, because in law Dissenters could not be " godly and religious persons." Many of their neighbours are apt to think their only fault in this respect to be that of being religious overmuch, But the Judges held that they could not, in this age of the law, taea be religious at all ; and, as the d ee d s required the trustees to be so, w thehy is Dbieststeenrti o h g ana trustees d lion,"m ust b a u n d d g e a C ; " h a urelm living t dog Churchman, though a drunkard, is legally more religious than the Dissenting tee totaller. To men of plain common sense so absurd seemed the rule of Chancery law which the Judges pleaded, that it was thought Judges, and Lords, and Commons, and every one, would be glad enough to establish some community between law and fact,—between the rules of law, and the rules of daily life. The subject was, however, brought before the Commons last session, when, by means we need not detail, the lawyers contrived t 9 bewilder the House of Com mons, and to send to the Lords a bill which the Lords rejected at Once. The Lords have sent one down to the Commons this year, which simply pro poses to enable trustees to permit children of Dis senters to be taught in grammar schools, without being compelled to learn what is offensive to their parents. Mr. DILWYN'S bill, which was rejected on "Wednesday, takes a wider sweep. It pro ceeds on the principle that where the foun dation deeds of the school prescribe no par creed, no person shall be excluded Leular lector, had ascertained the quality of the additions likely to be made by the bill to the Leeds electoral registry. We should have thought Leeds would be an unfavourable specimen of the classes who .would obtain votes. We mean that the new fran chise must there, if anywhere, introduce a large number of persons of the lower sections of the working classes. It appears to be just the reverse. The constituency is now 6,ooo—it will be increased by 4,000, of whom 2,500 will be strictly of the operative class ;—but, adds the treasurer, " these, you will please to observe, are the most intelligent and best skilled workinen of their class." The infor mation forwarded to Mr. BAINES went into details, and enumerated, under schedules, the trades of the persons to whom it is proposed to give the franchise. " Three schedules," he observed, " relating to these persons were furnished. The first included those who occupied houses of from. £6 to £7. The trades to which the persons included in ft belonged indi cated that there would be extreme difficulty in their organisation for any common political pur poses. There were cloth-dressers, dyers, mechanics of various kinds, masons, bricklayers, plasterers, and joiners. The. second schedule included persons who paid from £7 to £B, and there were to be found cloth-pressers, warehousemen, iron and bran moulders, brushmakers, wood-turners, cur riers, and leather-dressers, and so on. In the third schedule, which comprised houses from £8 to £lO, were retail shopkeepers of all kinds, bookeepers and assistant clerks, and printers. These facts would, he hoped, satisfy those wherthought that the new electors were such a homogeneous class that they might be combined for any political pur- the Church of England. A very harmless Bill was before their lordships—Lone which had passed the House of Commons with hardly any discussion ; Mr. NEWDEGATE, we be lieve, only objecting ; it waste abolish the declara tion made by municipal Councillors, if Dissenters, that they would do nothing in virtue of their office to injure the Church of England. Lord DERBY and a Bishop opposed it, and got it rejected, on the ground that it was a part of a system which aimed at religious equality. The whip has been used of late for this reason against all really liberal measures, great or small. Church-rates, the ballot, en dowed schools, and even municipal declaration-- composed of no value in itself have all summoned from their retreats the whole strength of the Tory party. We rejoice in all this. • The right side will only triumph more effectually, the more desperately the monopaly of civil and religious privileges fight for their " vested wrongs." . The public must by this time have become heartily sick of the farcical hypocrisy attempted to , be played on them in regard to the Italian and Savoy affairs by most parties. They have been, juggled by Emperor, King, and Ministers to the top of their bent. And a precious " kettle of fish" they have made of it. Rumours preceded lies—lies begat contradictions as veritable as their antagonists. Then came arguments founded on sophisms more or less reliable in pro portion to the source of their parentage, which after all seemed to evade a closer scrutiny. Pre sently sinister assurances were sent out as feelers to test the strength of pulse evinced by the credulous, the doubtful, or the unbelieving. Altogether, it was a piece of such barefaced im pudence that its infamy can only be measured by th© unblushing scandal of its assurance ! Verily experience seems lost on Emperors as much as upon humbler individuals ; for the fate of his uncle presents no other . monitor to NAPOLEON the THIRD but the mirror of hope in which his own destiny is mystified by the shadow of the future. Let him go on rejoicing, it may be for a while ; but the hour of retribution is coming with a 'sure but wizard step, which will lead him to his doom. Men may be trifled with for a while, and nations may look on and bide their time—and the longer they wait the more complete will be their vengeance. NAPOLEON trusts in his destiny— others have done the same, and found it at Philipi! He may meet it on the Rhine, or curse it in the Channel. Before Savoy is actually re-united (revnie) to Franca, it can hardly fail to be interesting to note here, briefly, how it came to pass, under what pre cise circumstances it happened, that Savoy was formerly absorbed by France as " part and parcel" of her dominions. It is first of all worthy of remark, however, that Savoy only belonged to Franco, once upon a time, for the comparatively brief and even insignificant interval (in the history of nations) of scarcely eighteen years and a-half ! It was in the May of 1796 that Savoy was first given over to France by Sardinia. It was in the October of 1815 that the assembled Powers of Europe resolved, in solemn congress at Vienna, upon the act of restitution. France was Republican when Savoy was seized. It was taken possession of then in the name of the democracy, one and indivisible, as the spoil of a military conqueror—that conqueror young General NAPOLEON BONAPARTE. It was almost at the very outset of his wonderful career. He had hardly unfurled his banners. They had scarcely begun to flutter—" fanned by conquest's crimson wing." It was only in the March of 1796 that he had joined the Army of Italy, (then literally nothing more than a disorganised band of men clothed in rags) as Commander-in-Chief. He fleshed his sword on the 11th of April upon that memorable scene of the first of the Great NAPOLEON'S Vic tories—the Field of Mon tenotte. On the 14th of the same month he defeated the Austrians to the right and to the left simultaneously at Dego and at Millesimo. On the 17th he exclaimed at Monte Zemoto—" HANNIBAL forced the Alps, and we have thehloe tvanquished 7th of u o turned them!" O n th e 22d h e won M ondor i . On l yd a y hhies he pe e rp r 000ssnss opponents na d t s t t h ha e te FP bridgei o o . On bo . of h . neL the 10th of May he crossed the bridge of Lodi in the midst of a deadly and blinding hurricane of balls—being dubbed f or that act of heroism by his troops by the title which marked him thenceforth as the darling of the French Army—The Little Corporal ! On the 15th of May he entered Milan _victorious. And it was on that 15th of May, 179 G, that the famous treaty of peace betw.:Tn the French Republic and the King of SARDINIA was signed—whereby there were ceded to France by Sardinia—Savoy, Nice, and the whole of th e pos sessions of Piedmont to the westward of the highe s t ride of the Alps, from Mount St. Bernard by Mount. Genevre to the immediate vicinity of Genoa, at Roceaburbone! Upon the signing of this treaty at the close of an armistice but a fortnight old, what wrote General NAPOLEON BONA- from trusteeship of the school on account of his religious principles. As no schools founded prior to King EDWARD'S reign could have been founded with any regard to the Church of England, as the founders were Catho lics and would regard the Church of England, could they rise from their graves, as an apostate Church—it is plain that all such schools ought to be open equally to all classes of her MAJESTY'S subjects. No founder's title can be alleged by the dominant sect. If the Judges con strued according to the founders' views, they would pronounce the religion of the Church of England heresy ! And yet this Church has found means to persuade Judges to consider hers to be the only religion in England ! We do not care to dispute the correctness of the Judges' interpre tation they are bound by their precedents ; but we do assert, that if the law be what they say it is, it ought to be instantly altered. The arrogant exclusiveness of the Church of England in grasping every sixpence confiscated from the Roman Catholics by her founder, HENRY VIII. of blessed memory, is only paralleled by the arrogance of the legal ground she takes in making the claim—that in this land of liberty, of toleration, and of Christian equality, the law is to understand nothing by religion, but her Prayer•book and Articles ! We do not wish to im peach their excellence, but really we should like Churchmen to settle first among themselves what is their religion. Are we to learn that from St. George's-in-the-East and St. Barnabas, or from Lambeth, and the Earl of SHAFTESBURY'S theatre preachers ? Let the Church settle what her reli gion really is before she claims that it shall be the the only one to which the law shall award all the loaves and fishes. Evidently there is a perfect panic in the ranks of " the privileged." In the Lords last night the terror was openly confessed. Dissenters, it was said, are conspiring to reduce the Church of Eng land to their own level; or, what is just as horri ble, to place themselves on a level with ' PARTE to the Directory ? King VICTOR EM MANUEL would do well to cone the words of that letter—they are these :—" Coni, Ceva, and Alessandria are in the hands of our army I shall march to-morrow against BEAULIEU and drive him across the Po; I shall follow close at his heels, overrun all Lombardy, and in a month be in the Tyrol, join the army of the Rhine, and carry our united forces into Bavaria. continue your confidence in me, I shall answer for the results, and Italy is at your feet !" Yes—ltaly was at the feet of France, and Piedmont was under heel ! Count CAVOUR would do well to lay this to heart. The gall and wormwood engendered in the hearts of the Italians soon after that first seizure of Savoy by France, were they not as aptly as wittily expressed by the Pasquinade affixed to the statue of MARFORIO P Where some wag had written Si thee the i Francesi sono tulli ladroni, "They say the French are all robbers or rascals ;" to which that wicked PASQUIN scrawled the ready answer (No, not all—but a good many of them), Won tulli una BUONAPARTE. THE ANNEXATION OF SAVOY. In Paris yesterday it was stated that most of the answers with respect to the annexation had been received. The substance of Russia's note is, that so long as the ",right of the people" to select their rulers is not put forward by France, and that the present change does not affect the balance of Eu rope, what Sardinia may choose to do with-Savoy is no business of hers. Prussia says that, as the Emperor Napoleon for mally disavows the doctrine of natural frontiers, the transfer of Savoy is no affair of hers. Austria declares that she certainly does not ap prove annexations of the kind ; but, as all Europe stood by when other annexations were effected and made no opposition, she does not see what she has to de with the Savoy annexation. England has not yet answered ; at least her an swer had not arrived up to last night. Such is the very short account current among political persons of the manner in which these communications have been received. ADELPHI THEATRE.

According to a statement published last year the public debt of Brazil was £12,409,0 , .58, or less than three years' revenue. Of this amount £6,415,978 was infernal debt and £3,493,100 foreign. A recent telegram from India mentions that the cotton crop in the North-Western provinces will this year be favourable. The Tussah silk crop, which is grown in the lower part of Bengal, will, it is alleged, he a partial failure. A meeting of the Grand Surrey Docks and Canal Company was held yesterday to consider a bill now before Parliament to enable the construction of additional docks, and to raise a further amount of capital. After some expla nations a resolution was carried formally approving the measure. A meeting is to be held on Saturday in the Stock-Exchange to consider th e p ro p r i e t y o f rev i s i ng th e existing scale o brokers' commissions, and of enforcing the observance of regular charges. Some measure of the kind has long been necessary. The North British Mail says :—" There is a rmnour current, which is stated to be correct, that the two youngest sons of the Duke of Buccleuch have followed their maternal relative (we presume the writer means their mother), and gone over to the Church of Rome." TUE LATE COLONEL NEILL—A marble tablet has been erected on one of the walls of the Old Church, Ayr, by Mrs. Neill, of Swintidgemuir, and her daughters, in memory of the late Colonel Neill and his three sons, the latter of whom all died in the service of their country.— Cit'avou; Herald. QUEEN'S PRINTERS' PATENT.—On Wednesday, in the House of Commons, Mr. Baines brought up the re port of the select committee which has sat for two sessions on the Queen's Printers' patent for printing. the Bible. The report recommends that the patent bo not renewed, and that no exclusive privilege of printing the Scriptures be allowed henceforth to exist. TILE CARLISLE COFFIN MYSTERY.—The Paisley Herald rays reference to the death of the child whose body was discovered seine time since in a coffin en closed in a box at Carlisle, addressed to Mrs. Loudon, and which has since been traced to Greenock, we understand that, on an analysis of a portion of the stomach, poison has been found." ELECTION EXPENSES.—The expenses incurred by Viscount Bury when he solicited re-election for Norwich in June last on his appointment as Treasurer of the Royal Household have just been officially returned by the election auditor at £731 10s. 2d. During the last few days a com mittee of the House of Commons has decided that the noble lord was ineligible for nomination in consequence of corruf.- tion subsequently proved to have been practised at his re turn for Norwich in the previous March. Probably by this time his lordship has had enough of Norwich politics. DEATH OF A PARLIAMENTARY VETERAN.—The late Mr. Charles Ross, one of the Commissioners of the Audit Board, who died yesterday, at his residence, Port land-place, at the age of 60, was a gentleman who had played a long, if not a distinguished, part in political and Minis terial life. Ile was the only son of that gallant officer, the late General Alexander Ross, by Isabella, daughter of the late Sir Robert Gunning, Bart., and was born in 1799. He had scarcely attained his mijority when he entered Parlia ment on a casual vacancy, as M.P. for the since disfran chised borough of Orford, which he represented from 1322 to 1826. In the next Parliament he sat for the borough of St. Germans, and continued to represent that constituency in the Conservative interest until extinguished by the Re form Act. Ho was then elected an M.P. for Northampton, and was reehosen in 1835, both times after a severe con test, but was defeated by Mr. It. Currie at the general election of 1837. He held the post of a Lord of the Ad miralty for a short time in 1830, and was a Lord of the Treasury under the short-lived Administration of Sir It. Peel in 1834-35 . Mr. Ross married, in 1825, the Lady Mary Cornwalli s , d aughter of the late Marquis Cornwallis, by whom he h as surviving issue. Mr. Ross lost one of his sons, a most p rom i s i ng officer before Sebastoof in 1855. By Mr. Ro ss ' s d eath, the families of Cornwallis, Bray breoke, &c., are pla ce d i n mourning. Last night, Colman and Garrick's comedy, " The Jealous Wife," compressed into three acts, was per formed at this theatre with very great success. The great novelty of the entertainment was the circum stance of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Wigan sustaining the respective parts of Mr. and Mrs. Oakley, and certainly a more natural, artistic, or per fect piece of acting has not been seen for a very long time. As Mr. Oakley (Mr. -Wigan) brought out all the minute points of the part with consum mate skill, and even when nearly distracted by the false suspic ion of Mrs. Oakley as to his conduct, we had still the kind, forgiving, polished gentleman before us. The words " Mr. Oakley's rout ! and all the world will come," was given with immense effect. Mrs. Wigan's em bodiment of the jealous wife, Mrs. Oakley, was highly appreciated, and elicited universal approba tion. At the fall of the curtain, in obedience to the unanimous applause of a very brilliant and fashionable audience, Mr. and Mrs. Wigan had to appear and bow their acknowledgments. The talented artists afterwards appeared in the cele brated farce, " The Bengal Tiger." 3, 1860. LATEST N E \V S. The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Iteuter's oWee TURIN, MARCh 22. Baron Ricasoli arrived here to-day, and was re ceived by the King at four o'clock. His Majesty, in reply to a congratulatory speech of Baron Iticasoli, said— " I accept the vote of Tuscany, which ; after having been expressed by the National Assembly, is now confirmed by the unanimity of the popular suffrages. " Tuscany, in associating,her destinies with those of Piedmont, far from renouncing, continues her glorious traditions, and augments their importance by uniting them to those ofthe other parties of the State. The Parliament in which the representatives of Tuscany will take their seats beside those of Pied mont, Lombardy, and the Xrdlia, will bring the laws of the country into conformity with the fruit ful principle of liberty. "Thus Tuscany will enjoy the blessings of admi nistrative autonomy without weakening the union of power and the national will, upon which the prosperity and the independence of the country are principally dependent. The King then signed the decree annexing Tus. cant' to Sardinia. LEGHORN, MARCH 2 Count de Mosbourg, who (a litre eicieux) occupied the post of French Charge d'Affaires in Tuscany, has engaged a suite of apartments in this city. As soon as the annexation of Tuscany to Piedmont shall have been promulgated, the French Legation at Florence will be dissolved, and its employes will in the meantime retire to Leghorn, in accordance with the last instructions received from Paris. PARIS, MARCH 22 The Patrie of this evening says :—" The Sar dinian troops have commenced the evacuation of Savoy. The first detachment of the French troops returning from Lombardy will arrive in Savoy on the 25th instant." FRANCE. PARIS, THURSDAY. The members of the Savoy deputation are invited to dine with the Emperor on Saturday. By decision of the Minister of Finance, the inte rest of Treasury bills is thus fixed from the 22d March :—At 2 per cent. for those of from three to five months; and at 21 for those of from six months to a 'year. A letter from Nice announces that General Garibaldi .is shortly expected in that town, of which he is a native. This celebrated popular chief will, by the annexation of the county of Nice to the French Empire, become a French citizen, and may possibly be elected a deputy to represent his native town in the Corps Legislatif. The naval squadron under the command of Ad miral Jehenne, composed of the steamship-of-the line Donawerth, the steam frigate Foudre, and the steam cutters Tisiphone and Monette, which sailed from Algesiras on Friday last, has arrived at Toulon. A ship-of-the-line to be plated with steel has been laid down in the dockyard of Cherbourg. She is to measure 300 feet in length, with an iron spur 30 feet long, to be supplied with an engine of 1,200- hotse power, and to be called the Napoleon I. M. Dalmas, sous chsf de Cabinet to the Em peror, has passed through the ordeal of the Legislative Corps, -and is allowed to keep his seat. This, however, is not so surprising as the very minute majority, only 14, which decided in his favour. 232 deputies voted ; against the ad mission of the Government candidate 109 recorded their votes, and for him 123. Seeing what pains wore taken to get M. Dalmas in, an opposition of 109 is no contemptible one. BOURSE, March 22.—The market has been firm, with but little business doing.

The following letter has been received from Warsaw, dated 18th of March : "Numerous arrests have been lately made in several towns of the Russian Empire. Twenty persons have bean incarcerated at Kiew, and among them M. Kaza nowski, a professor of the University, The ar rests were still more numerous at Chariceff. There were likewise some persons arrested at Kazan, but I am not able to inform you whether they were as numerous as at Kiew and Charl coff. The persons arrested are charged with. having conspired to found a distinct nationally. It is generally believed that the persons arrested will be set at liberty, and that the police have con founded literary associations with political clubs. Many people believe that the police caused these arrests to made, as they frequently did under the Emperor Nicholas, to give him a high idea of their zeal and vigilance. However that may be, we are living in a period ofgreat political excitement, The principle of nationalities and free trade are the basesof the new political system proclaimed here. Several persons think that Russia has a grand part to per form in this new transformation of modern society. Landed property throughout the Russian empire has quadrupled in value since the question of the emancipation of the peasants has been raised. Fifteen years since a desiatina (about a rood) of ground could be purchased in the Tauride for three silver roubles (10s.) The same quantity of ground would now sell for 30 roubles." SARDINIA. The Opinione of Turin states that the Pied montese Council of State assembled on the 19th to take into consideration the question as to whether the concordat concluded by Austria was binding on Sardinia as regarded Lombardy ; and it was unani mously decided that it was not. But as there were certain laws founded upon the concordat which could not be well suppressed without something to replace them, the Council of State laid down the rule that no law contrary to the constitution could be considered to exist, but must be looked upon as abrogated de facto ; and that all other laws of the kind should be dealt with by Royal decree, except in cases where the authority of Parliament is abso lutely required. SAVOY. A Paris letter, in the Nord, says :—" Commercial men are already preparing to take advantage of the annexation of Savoy to France. A firm at Lyons has purchased a watercourse near the Chem. bre in that province to establish a silk manufac tory ; a company called the Franco-English, is in treaty for the purchase of mines and the building of large works; and the company which possesses the lead and silver mine of Aiguebollo will no longer send its ore to France to be worked up, but will smelt it on the spot." NAPLES. A communication from Vienna, in the Boersen halls of Uamburgh, says :—" We have received posi tive information as to the situation of the Court of Naples, and the attitude which the Government of the Two Sicilies will in all probability azsume. The party which, from pure ultramontanism or from hatred to Piedmont, called for an intervention in the Papal States was considerable, and very little was wanting to induce the young King to com mit acts which would infallibly have exposed his throne to great dangers. Although the motives which led his Majesty towards this policy are perfectly well appreciated here, yet it was impos sible to do otherwise than represent to him the ecrious consequences likely to result from a policy which, though acted on in good faith, might ma terially compromise the interest of the dynasty of the Bourbons. These representations were renewed with great energy at the very moment when the party above mentioned were using all their efforts in a contrary sense, and were supported by Prince Petrulla, the Neapolitan Ambassador at Vienna, and who was then at Naples. The representations made by the Cabinet of Vienna have been attend* with complete success, and no idea need auy longat I be entertained of a direct intervention of the Court of Naples in the affairs of the other parts of Italy." 211 E NAVY. The Duke of Somerset, as First Lord of the Ad miralty, held a levee yesterday, at the Admiralty. The Avon, paddle steam tender, arrived at Ports mouth yesterday from Devonport. The Prince of Wales, 131, screw, at Portsmouth, .has commenced shipping her boilers in the steam basin. Letters have been received at Plymouth from the screw steam corvette Pearl, 21, Capt. John Borlase, C. 8., dated Singapore, February 5. They state that she made rather a quick passage out, but the frigate Imperieuse, 51, beat her by about a weak. The thermometer was as high as 120 when passing through the Straits of Banca. The paymaster of 'the Pearl is coming home sick. One of her crew had been injured by a tiger ; these animals are, it is said, increasing in the island at the rate of one a•day, in consequence of the reduction of the Go vernment head-money, which is now so low that it offers no temptation for the risk of human life when seeking the destruction of such formidable antagonists. The Pearl will probably take coal on her upper deck, and take transports in tow to Hong Kong. The monsoon was reported to be blowing very strong outside, with a heavy swell, and a plea sant passage was not anticipated. The padlewheel steam surveying vessel Porcu pine, Capt. Otter, steamed from Hamoaze on Wed nesday into Plymouth Sound, to try her machinery. The trial was considered satisfactory. The screw steamship Trafalgar, 91, Capt. Fan shawe, took on board her powder in Hamoaze on Wednesday, and steamed in. the Sound, in charge of Mr. Charles Gahau, master of the flagship Im pregnable. The screw steamship Desperate, 8, was appointed to be taken out of Leyham dock yesterday (Thurs day). _ _ Retired Rear-Admiral Richard Devonshire died at his residence, St. Andrew's-terrace, Plymouth, on Monday. The screw steamship Conqueror, 101, Capt. J. Wilcox, C. 8., belonging to the Channel squadron, is expected at Plymouth to repair, she being leaky abaft, near the stern-post. The steam transport City of Nantes, from Amster dam, yesterday completed the discharge of 450 tons of boxwood in Woolwich Arsenal, used for making plugs for the Minie rifle bullets, mallets, &c., and left for London. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Claude E. Buckle, to the Hero; Lieut. Edward T. Parsons, to the Cen turion ; Lieut. Henry T. Rogers, to the Excellent ; Henry G. Raynes, master, to the Donegal; A. De G. Sutton, master, confirmed, to the Atalanta ; John J. Covey, second master, to the Skipjack ; George Hickman, paymaster, td the Pearl ; Julian W. Torbett, clerk, to the Fisgard ; and John Rice, promoted to the rank of second-class assistant-en gineer, in the Princess Charlotte. THE ARMY. The Ist Battalion Rifle Brigade, under the com mand of Lord Alexander Russell, stationed at Portsmouth, will leave that garrison for the camp at Aldershott on the 27th inst. The Ist Battalion 11th (North Devon) Foot will, on the same date, proceed from Aldershott Camp to Portsmouth, and occupy the quarters vacated by the Rifles. A general parade of the Royal Marine Light In fantry yesterday took place at Woolwich, in the square within the barrack quarters, when Colonel Stransham, commanding the-division, presented to Acting Sergeant-Major Woon, late of the Ist Bat talion, serving in China, a silver medal awarded to him by the Lords of the Admiralty for " meritorious conduct, especially for his gallant behaviour while serving in China." Sergeant-Major Woon has like wise been granted an annuity of £lO. This non commissioned officer succeeded in saving the life of one of his officers, as also of a drummer boy, about 14 years of age, during the assault upon the Chinese battery in the Peiho. The poor lad had been struck down by a round shot, which completely carried away the inner part of his thigh. He was lying hopelessly. in the mud (according to the report), the missiles of every description flying thickly about him, when he called out to Sergeant-Major Woon to take him to a place of safety, which he did at the imminent risk of his life, and deposited him in a boat at - some distance. Sergeant-Major Woon was five years in the Arctic regions with Capt. M'Clure. On leaving China he was presented with a piece of plate, as a token of the esteem in which he was held by his comrades there. Colour- Sergt. Francis, wounded in the foot under the Chinese forts, was presented at the same time, by Col. Stransham, with a medal, awarded by their lordships for long service and good conduct, which carries with it a gratuity of £l5. Sergt. Francis is about to be invalided, being irrecoverably „lamed, and consequently incapacitated for further active service. He served in the Syrian campaign, in the Crimea (for which he was decorated with the medals), in the Black Sea, on board H.M.S. Retri "bution and was engaged in th e a tt ac k ou Odessa. Several privates, invalids recently joined from China, for survey, on account of wounds, then pre sent, were in succession promoted, in the presence of the battalion, to the rank of corporal; one cor poral was made a sergeant, and the distinction of the colours was conferred on Sergt. Donnell, wilts had received three wounds. The two latter were absent on furlough. Col. Stransham spoke an en couraging word to each of them, and having shaken hands with the two sergeants, the battalion marched to Woolwich-comm on , and went through the first course of company drill, commenced for the season. Yesterday the East India troopship Nile, Captain Holmes, arrived at Gravesend from Madras, disembarked her troops at Custom house-quay, when the whole of the sick and wounded, to the number of 48 men of all ranks, were forwarded to Chatham. The Nile sailed from Madras on the 24th of December, the passage home being made in 90 days. The troops who embarked belonged to the 12th (Prince of Wales's) Lancers, Ist battalion Ist Royals, 44th Regiment, 68th Light Infantry, and 69th Regiment, undenthe command of Lieut. R. F. Mirth], 74th Highlanders. Eight deaths occurred on board during the voyage. The Nile touched at St. Helena in 41 days from Madras, and brought home a few men of the St. Helena Regiment. After the troops had been medically inspected at Fort Pitt, nine men were taken into hospital, and the remainder forwarded to St. Mary's invalid depot to await their discharge. THE GREAT TASMANIA. The jury, after two hours' consultation returned the following verdict :—" That Thomas Beach died from natural causes, and that his death was accele rated by necessary removal to the workhouse." In the case of the other six they found that they "died of scurvy, brought on by bad food and ex posure to cold on board ship." The jury further found, "That the provisions supplied by the Go vernment as stores for the use of the troops were bad, and unfit for human food, with the exception of the tea, pork, pickles, and rice. That there was an entire absence of proper disinfectants, and that the lime juice had lost its medicinal properties when put on board. That the officers who signed the ' General Inspection Report' are the culpable parties, so far as the quality of the stores is con cerned. That the captain and officers of the ship are entirely free from blame, and that the ship's contract was sati s f ac t or il y fulfilled. That the mili tary officers and the surgeon did their best, under the circumstances in which they were placed, to promote the health of the men under their charge." The foreman also made the following present ment on behalf of the jury :—" The jury think it an imperative duty to urge upon the Government the necessity of such a change in the system of mili tary inspection and supply of clothing before sol diers leave India or any other foreign country, whether they are still in the service or have had their discharge and are receiving a t oveinirent passage home, as shall prevent men in 'future ar riving in England in cold weather so insufficiently clothed as the men who have arrived by the Great Tasmania." VOLU.NTEER CORPS. The subjoined circulars have just been jailed from the War-office : " War-office, Pall Mall, March, 1860. " My Lord,—Having had under consideration the expediency of forming the various scattered bodies constituting volunteer rifle corps into batta lions, in order to facilitate the administration 01 the volunteer force generally, as well as to increase its efficiency, I have the honour to inform your lord ship that, with a view to carry out this organisl" tion, it is proposed to adopt the following prince' pies : " Ist. That a battalion of volunteers may i l l formed either as a conside ra bl e b o d y , compose(' various companies in densely populated districts, acting together as one corps, in the meaning of the Act of Parliament, 44 George 111., cap. 54 ; or, " 2d. It may be a consolidated body for drill sill' administrative purposes only, b e i n g composed 0, various companies forming in themselves distincL and (financially considered) independent corps, 15 the meaning of the act ; or, " 3d. A battalion may be formed for administra; tive.purposes only from the various corps scattered over a rural or thinly populated district. " It appears to me, therefore, that in order t °l meet these several forms of battalion organisatio n it is desirable to lay down the following rules :-- " For a consolidated battalion formed on either of the two first principles— " 1 major and one adjutant will be allowed to 4 companies of minimum strength. " 1 lieutenant-colonel and one adjutant will be allowed to 6 companies of minimum strength. "1 lieutenant-colonel, 1 major, and 1 adjutan t will be allowed to 8 companies of minimum strength. " 1 lieutenant-colonel, 2 majors, and 1 adjutan t will be allowed to 12 companies of minimum strength. When the companies exceed 12, the corps will constitute a regiment and be formed into two bat' talions, each with field officers and adjutants in the above proportion ; the whole to be commanded bi the senior lieutenant-colonel. "Although I am prepared to sanction the forma; tion of a battalion of four companies, it is intended to provide only for cases in which no [more than that number of companies can be formed in a town' and where it is not considered advisable to bring i 5 rural companies : and it should be understood that . no two battalions of this strength can be formed in one place. " With regard to the third principle of forma' tion, :which is applicable to rural districts, w here the companies, &c., are greatly scattered, I have to explain to your lordship that it is not intended that this .formation into battalions should render the separate companies liable to be removed from their own neighbourhood, or brought together at ant time when not called out for actual service, except with their own consent; or that the independent existence of the several corps should be in any de' gree affected ; my object is to accomplish a unity of system in correspondence drill, inspection, and returns throughout the entire force. " The following staff will therefore be allowed for rural battalions . " 1 major and 1 adjutant to 4 or 5 companies of minimum strength. 1 lieut.-colonel and 1 adjutant to 6,7, 8, or 9 companies of minimum strength. "1 lieutenant-colonel, 1 major, and 1 adjutant to 10, 11, or 12 companies of minimum strength. "I have further to state to your lordship— " Ist. That in effecting the formation of these battalions the concentration of companies should be considered with reference to locality, and not t 0 their numerical standing in the Army List. " 2d. That each company may continue to have its own rendezvous and drills, but that there should also be a battalion rendezvous established ; and where the local distribution and convenience of the different companies will admit of it, certain dale set apart for battalion drills. " 3d. That altholo. I have not thought it de: sirable to insist u a rigid adherence to that uniformity in the clothing and equipment of corps serving in the same country, which was recoil' mended in article 6 of the memorandum of the 13th July, 1859, I trust that in any future renewal of the clothing the propriety of adopting 5 uniform colour for compani es belonging to the stone battalion will be duly considered. " I beg, therefore, to acquaint your lordship tha t I am desirous to see the different companies of Ye' lunteers throughout the country united, as far as possible, into battalions under the foregoing r ules' and I shall be glad to be f avoure d w ith you r lord ship's views as to the best m eans o f carr ying out the proposed organisation amon g th e c oil antes formed in the county under y our c h arge . -1 hay? the honour to be, my lord, your lordship's obedient servant, " S. HERBERT." " War-office, February, 1860. r "My Lord,—Having had under my considerapir the expediency of the appointment of an adjuteul commissioned by her M ajes ty, t o every b r i ga de of artillery and battalion of rifle volunteers, I have the honour to inform you that I shall be pre' pared to submit for the Queen's approval the names of such officers as you may recommend for the seve ral corps serving in your county, subject to the fol lowing qualifications and conditions of service : " Ist. That the candidate shall have served at least four years in the line, or in the army of the late East India Company, or in her Majesty's In dian forces, or in the embodied militia. " 2d. That his application should be accompanied by testimonials as to conduct from his former com mending officer. " 3d. That the candidate shall be subject to all examination at the nearest garrison as to his fitness to hold the office of adjutant under such regulations as his royal highnefis the general commanding-in chief may, with the concurrence of the Secretary of State for 'War, be pleased to direct; and that he shall also have passed through a course of instruc tion in musketry at Hythe, or be prepared to do so when called upon. "4th. The rank of an adjutant is properly that of a subaltern ; but if appointed out of her Ma jesty's regular forces, or Indian army, or the militia, he may retain the rank which he held in either d( these services ; but no adjutant shall be entitled bir virtue of his superior rank to take the command of any company of volunteers, an officer of the com pany being present, except for the purpose of in struction drill. "sth. Every officer appointed an adjutant of volunteers will be required, before receiving his commission, to transmit to the Secretary of State for War the following declaration : ," I do hereby declare upon my honour as an officer and a gentleman, that in order to obtain the appointment of an adjutant in the volun teers, I have not given, paid, received, or promised, and that I do not believe that any one for me has given, paid, received, or promised, directly or indi rectly, any recompense, reward, or gratuity to any person or persons whatever. (Signed) " (A. B.) " ' Witness (C. D.)' " 6th. The pay of an adjutant of volunteers shall be Bs. a-day, and 2s. to cover the forage for a horse, or for travelling expenses, providing the com manding officer has exempted him for the time being from the liability to keep a horse. " Any other incidental expenses must be borne by the corps. "7th. As the public services of an adjutant are to be made fully available at all times, it is neces sary that it should be perfectly understood before • hand by candidates that the Secretary of State will not allow them, if appointed, to follow any other profession, or hold any other appointment public or private.—l have the honour to be, my lord, your lordship's obedient servant, " SIDNEY HERBERT."
