The election for Nottingham excites much public interest, and we sympathise with the public. The two candidates at present in the field are Mr. LARPENT, the active partner in one of our most eminent houses in the East India trade and Chairman of the East India and China Association, and Mr. WALTER, the proprietor of the Times. Against the latter we have no pre judices. We are bound, both by duty and incli nation, to support the interests of the press against any other interest. We have lately read in the eloquent pages of Mr. CARLYLE, though cer tainly we have not learnt from him, that the press is the true Church and the members,of the press the true priesthood of modern times. We be lieve, too, with him, that he who expresses the public feelings, or has a voice to make the public wants known, is one - of the true rulers of society. We further agree with him, that these true guides and rulers of society must find their proper place in its councils, and must be honoured according to their value. We have of late, too, seen and heard so much of re spectable men in the City —men in great credit —who are in the habit of speaking of public writers with great contempt, who often strut, it appears, in borrowed plumage, and turn out, in the long run, to be the most callow, chattering Jaws ,possible,—that we have not the slightest regard or affection for your great City merchants. We have every p ersonal and professional reason, provided the principles of these gentlemen be similar, to prefer Mr. WALTER to Mr. LARPENT ; but our duty to the public rides paramount over Our inclinations, and compels us to subject the principles on which these gentlemen offer them selves to public support, to rigid examination, before we conclude that one has a better claim than the other to the support of the electors of Nottingham. What, then, are the principles of Mr. LAn- PENT ? He offers himself as an independent man, and he goes to the electors of Nottingham with the certificates of Mr. MORRISON, Mr. LEAF, and Mr. TRA VERB, that he is as worthy a man as is to be found in the City of London. Great is the honour of being recommended by a man's neighbours, who know him. Being an in dependent man—not a nominee of the Govern ment—Mr. LARPENT is, and has been, the steady and . consistent friend" of free trade. He offers himself to the constituency of Nottingham as the advocate of the principles of free trade, including the abolition of the Corn laws. He denounced those laws as pernicious, and very properly attributed all the evil suffered under the New poor-law to the existence of the law against the free importation of food. To throw men on their own resources, and then to y up those resources, he properly condemned. Recommended by th e . most conspicuous advo cates of Reform . . in t h e metropolis, Mr. LAR PENT offers himselfto the electors of Nottingham as the opponent of the Corn -laws and the friend of free trade. On what princi , nles does Mr. w ALTER offer himself? We cannot separate him front the Times. As the owner of Bearwood, ex-Member for Berkshire, and defeated candidate for South wark, what possible claim can he have on the electors of Nottingham ? None. He goes thither as the proprietor of the Times, and he clai ms support exclusively on that ground. He is no thing, as a public man, but the owner and di rector. of the Times, and we must try him by the principles of that Journal. It has of late been much distinguished by its opposition to the New Poor-law. Scarcely a day has passed for several years that it has not as sailed that law. Accordingly 1 't told us on Satur day th at M r. WALTER wa • s pre-emmently the friend of the poor. He is brought forward as the opponent of the Nei Poor-law. He stands But we have said that Mr. WALTER, as a public man, is nothing separate from the Times. What, then, has been the conduct of that journal, in reference to the great question of free trade and the abolition of the Corn-laws, on which the prosperity of Nottingham depends? It knows that the Corn-laws are an iniquitous evil. For years it took pains to demonstrate that. It knows that restrictions on trade are the curse of the country. It once advocated all that is liberal in commercial legislation. But, of late, the Times has been regularly pledged to the Tories. It has been a thorough party journal ; and the bulk of the landed gentlemen, and the bulk of the monopolists, are necessarily Tories, — for Tory, monopolist, and bread-taxer, all signify the same thing. It has accordingly ceased to say anything against the bread-tax, or in favour of the principles of free trade. At least it has not evinced any zeal in advocating a cause which it knows is most righteous. It has not been merely an opponent of Corn-law abolition and free trade—it has been a traitor. to that cause. It professed noble and just principles, but it has betrayed them. Mr. WALTER cannot be separated from the Times, and the Times :s an apostate from truth and righteousness, and a traitor to the cause of the people and of freedom. To elect Mr. WALTER as the representative of the Times is to give a triumph to all that is dis honest, and ought to be despicable in politics. We value principle more than we value our craft, and much as we desire to see the press honoured, we hope never to see it honoured in the treacherous and apostate Times. We do not join an Evening Contemporary in condemning Mr. WALTER for seeking the support of the Chartists, but we must seriously condemn any Chartist who supports Mr. WALTER. No journal has been more bitter in reviling and stigmatizing the Chartists than the Times, and to support Mr. WALTER iS to support their bit terest enemy. No other journal has so signalized itself by vehement religious intolerance—no jour. nal has been so forward in ridiculing politica dissenters and in putting down freedom of ma gious discussion. It is the friend of Church-rates, and the foe of democracy. It has latterly become the parsons' journal, and has even lent its pages to advocate faith in the priests as far superior to knowledge in guiding the affairs of the world. It upheld Catholicus, who censured Sir ROBERT PEEL for supporting education. If Mr. WALTER is to carry out in Parliament the principles latterly espoused by the Times he must be the opponent of the progress of knowledge and the advocate of Church extension. The conduct of the Times must endear that journal and Mr. WALTER to the squires and the parsons, and to them, we submit, should be con signed the duty of bestowing on him ho nours and rewards. For Chartists and Dis senters to vote for the representative of a Tory journal, is to strike down all the principles they hold dear. That Mr. WALTER should en deavour to slink into the representation of Not tingham under a Chartist cloak may be suitable to the character of the journal he represents; but he must be a base Chartist who ]ends a cloak to Mr. WALTER. The letter of Sir T. COCHRANE, which we pub !shed on Saturday from the Ipswich Express, is as complete an exposure of the means by which many Tories have been returned to Parliament as could possibly be desired. Sir TnomAS was offered the representation for a certain sum, and he paid that sum before he left London. After he had been elected a further demand was made on him through the instrumentality of Mr. FITZROY KELLY, who had guaranteed him the seat fora cer tain sum, which the Gallant Officer paid. Subse quently Mr. KELLY communicated to Sir THomAs COCHRANE, that there were 2,000/. out-standing debts for previous political occur rences; and, for the sake of the Conserva tives, these must be liquidated. Mr. KELLY agreed to pay 1,0001., but the Gallant Officer reso lutely refused to be plucked any further. He did, however, afterwards, on a demand being made for 500/., express his willingness to con cede to it, if it would secure the future support of the Conservatives of Ipswich; but that not meeting the views of the electors, the Gallant Officer announced his intention of dissolving his political connection with Ipswich. We hope, for the honour of Sir T. COCHRANE, for the honour of Mr. F. KELLY, and for the honour of the electors of Ipswich, that this letter is a forgery. If it be not, it reflects in delible disgrace on all the parties concerned. It may be customary to get into Parliament by bribery, and one party may bribe as much as the other; we exonerate neither; but this letter is an open avowal that seats in Parliament,' and of course the liberties of the country, are bought and sold by venal electors and corrupt men of wealth. We do not know how the House of Commons, for its own credit sake, can refuse to make an inquiry into the subject, and we are sure that the Gallant Officer will not again take his seat in the House without some honest Member asking whether he acknowledge the statements of that letter, or whether it be a forgery. It will be noticed that Mr. FITZROY KELLY is represented by the letter as the negotiator of the bargain. He it is, too, who represents to the Gallant Officer that the electors of Ipswich are not satisfied; and on his statement mainly rests the proof of their corruption. He is described as the author of the terrible imputations against his own constituency. If that letter be true, can Mr. FITZROY KELLY face the gentlemen of the House of Commons, and face the public ? If it be not a forgery, he admits that he sits in the House by bribery, and as the representa tive of electors who have sold their votes. If that letter be not a forgery, Sir THOMAS COCH RANE is in the same position, and the profession he belongs to, on which lustre has been shed by the name he bears, assures us that he never again will resume his seat in the House of Commons. It may not be thought advisable to give the venal electors of Ipswich another bribe by a new election, but the least the public will expe c t is, as prob a bl y I pswich cannot be immediately disfranchised, that neither of the nominal representative s of that borough should presume to vote, or ta k e any part in the proceedings of the House of Co mmons. pro again cdi ngs But the exposure is peculiarly valuable as an index to the practices in other b o _ roughs. Walsall, St. Albans, and Canterbury, have all lately been accused of bribery. Wh o will now believe, whatever may be the verdict of Committees of the House of Commons, that on the pauper interest, and asks that to place him in Parliament. If this were all we should have little to say against Mr. WAL'rER. But he opposes a de clared advocate of free trade, and an opponent of the Corn-laws. Mr. WALTER, then, is of op posite principles. He is an opponent of free trade, and the friend of the Corn-laws. He is the advocate of the pauper, and the landed pro prietor; the supporter of the idle, the profligate, and the bread-taxers against the industrious classes. He goes to Nottingham the advocate of those onerous restrictions by which the trade of Nottingham has been ruined. The electors of Nottingham will not, we are sure, suicidally elect a man who is the enemy of their dearest interest. bribery was not practised in those cases? And what is the important general deduction ? Why that a great number of Members of the House of Commons, at least of those who sit for smal boroughs, are returned by similar means. The Norwich Mercury, apropos of the cases we have just alluded to, refers to the elections for that borough, and shows that, since 1832, the Tories have carried Norwich by bribery. Here, then, we have, to the disgrace of the country— equally dishonouring the electors and those whom they elect—the House of Commons, under the Reform Act, founded on bribery. As no persons poorer than 101. householders can now vote, and as the representatives must be persons of property, this bribery and corruption are wholly carried on by what are called the respectable classes. The poorer classes, who are suspected and accused of so many crimes, who are so terribly mistrusted, have nothing to do with it. The unenfranchised may safely as- While the Clergy o the Protestant Church rested satisfied with abusing the Catholic faith, and professing abhorrence of its doctrines, the teachers of the rival creed, greatly to their praise, took little notice of their wicked revilings. Though they hiied religious and political en thusiasts, or renegade Catholics, to range over the country, sowing enmity and discord amongst the religious classes, the Catholic prelates and priests, as well as the laity in general, looked upon these firebrands rather with pity than anger; but the case has become altered since a new sect sprung up in the English Church, who, while they still abuse the Catholics, have the effron tery to profess openly their indisputable doc trines. One Catholic Prelate has discussed the subject with his usual ability, and we have before us a pamphlet, written in somewhat the same strain, by an English Catholic layman, and pub lished. by RIDGWAY, in the shape of a letter ad dressed to the Rev. J. H. NEWMAN, author of No. 90 in the " Tracts for the Times." The writer, who displays great skill and close reason ing, complains justly of the irruption of PUSEY, NEWMAN, and Co., into their sacred territory, while they still abuse it, calling the " water naught, and the ground barren," and then, by comparing the tenets of the intruders, with the decrees of the Council of Trent, universally received in the Roman Catholic Church as the anthoritative enunciation of the orthodox belief and practice, proves that the Puseyites are in every respect, except one—charity—as good Catholics as the Pope of ROME and Dr. MURRAY. " Rely upon it," says the writer, " there is no use in endea vouring to conceal, either from yourself or others, the undoubted fact, that from the moment when you admit the doctrines and authority of the Council of Trent, you are, in belief, as complete a Roman Catholic as the Archbishop of PARIS, or Dr. MURRAY himself, and, as far as faith is concerned, satisfy every term of the definition with most philosophical and logical nicety." He, therefore, has just ground for this indignant ap peal. "We have a right to complain, and we do complain, that in order to screen yourself in the adoption of our tenets, from the obloquy and ruin that your profession of them, as ours, would undoubtedly entail upon you, you deli berately distort and misrepresent our faith and practice ; that in order to avert the impending storm of Protestant ire from your own devoted head, you erect a counterfeit image of Roman ism,' to serve as an ecclesiatical lightning con ductor, and thus secure to yourself the undis turbed enjoyment of that very orthodoxy, which, in us, you would gladly see reprobated, and perhaps punished as heresy and dissent." He does not, however, confine himself to mere assertions, but convicts the Puseyite, from his own words, of distorting some of the tenets of the Roman Catholic in order to make the real tenets his own, and adopting others root and branch. Mr. NEWMAN, for instance, rejects the Bible as a rule of faith, and stands up manfully for the infallibility of General Councils. These are his words :—" In the sense in which it is commonly understood at this day, Scripture is not, on Angli can principles; the rule of faith." This certainly is sufficiently Jesuitical, but it is surpassed by the following : General Councils may err case it is promised as a matter of express supernatural privilege, that they shall not err--a case which is teyond the scope of this article, or, at any rate, beside its deter mination. Such a promise, however, does exist in cases where General Councils are not only gathered together according to the commandment and will of Princes, but in the name of Christ, according to our Lord's promise. While Councils are a thing of earth, their infallibility of course is not guaranteed; when they are a thing of heaven their deliberations are over-ruled, and their decrees authoritative. In such cases they are Catholic Councils. By the arrival of the Braganza steamer at Falmouth on Saturday evening from the Tagus, we have received advices from Lisbon of the 12th inst. No change has taken place in the Cabinet. It was reported in political and com mercial circles that the Government was anxious to conclude the long-pending treaty of commerce with England. The Finance Minister, Baron ToJAL, refused the terms upon which the Bank of Lisbon offered to advance money to meet the demands on the Treasury; adding, that rather than make such a bad bargain fbr the country, he would issue Treasury Paper, which would be received at its full nominal value in liquidation uof all Govern ment taxes. The ex-Minister Baron SABROSA died suddenly from an attack of apoplexy. He was buried with military honours. Social and physical improvements are of slow growth in Portugal and Spain. We are there fore not much surprised to learn that little has been yet done to improve the physical and moral condition of the people. No efforts appear to be making to extend education, to cultivate regular habits of industry, and to popularize a better system of agriculture. The Government clings with fatal tenacity to the old system of restric tions upon commerce, ignorant of the great truth, that, in the arithmetic of taxation, two and two, instead of making four, do not always make one. But the Portuguese Government never dreams of inquiring into the effect of taxation upon consumption. The consequence necessarily is, that every fresh impost, instead of increasing the public revenue, actually diminishes it. The French Minister at the Court of Lisbon, M. de VARENNES, was about to return to France, having obtained leave of absence from his Go vernment. There is very little for diplomatists to shake their sage'heads about in Portugal. Letters and papers from Madrid, of the 10th instant, have reached us. Their contents arc of no importance. On the previous day (Good Friday) the Duke of VICTORY performed his de votions in all the churches of the city in succes sion, and at each of them he presented 31. 4s. to be distributed among the poor. A Bill to ena ble the Government to collect the taxes till the Budget could be regularly brought forward was presented to the Chamber of Deputies by the President of the Council. The Five per Cents. were done on the Bourse at 25 11-16 for cash, and at 26 7-16 at 60 days. The Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday .ave all reached us. The extraordinary credits for 1841, amounting in all to two hundred mil lions of francs, were voted on Thursday, by a majority of 195 against 57. On Friday the question of the occupancy of Algiers by France was brought forward, but as M. GUIZOT stated that a campaign was about to be undertaken against ABD-EL-KADER the Chamber came to no vote upon it. As, according to M. THIERS, France cannot live without a passion, she can indulge in few hobbies less dangerous to the repose of Europe than in wasting her energies in acquiring an extension of her sterile conquests in Africa. Galignani's Messenger states that the Cham bers will not be dissolved. The question was mooted at a Cabinet Council, when the majority of the Ministers declared themselves opposed to a dissolution. We certainly cannot discover any grounds of complaint against the Chamber of Deputies, as at present constituted, on the part of a French Minister. The majority are always ready to vote whatever way the Cabinet thinks proper. They never trouble themselves about principle, or consistency, or anything of the sort. If they want to see, or hear, or decide upon any question, they employ the eyes, ears, and understanding of the Minister of Public Works, by which they save themselves a great deal of trouble, and establish a claim to be remembered when there happens to be a job in the way. With tools so pliable, what Minister could find in his heart to be out of humour ? In the course of the debate on the Enlistment Bill on Friday M. CORRI proposed that the chil dren of foreigners born in France should be liable to the conscription. MM. GUIZOT and ODILLON BARROT opposed this as unjust and illi beral, and the motion was consequently rejected. The Duke of Orleans has returned to Paris from St. Omer. It is said," says Galignaui, that eight creations of Peers will be made at the christening of the Comte de Paris, a n d that a furth er nom i nat i on to the Upper Chamber will be made, principally among Deputies, at the end of the se , sion. Among the names for the first list those of Admiral Mackau, General Barrois, M. Target, and M. Horace Vernet are mentioned." Another petition of the French residing at Monte Video is to be reported on to-morrow in the Chamber of Deputies. The object of it is to obtain some means for the protection of our countrymen, who having withdrawn from the tyrant!) , and the vengeance of Ros as , are now in danger of feeling their effect in consequence of the enterprises of the Dictator. It cannot be denied that the treaty concluded by Admiral Mackau has the political rwer and the confidence of Rosas. Being relieved from,the bckade, he has been able to turn all his forces against Lav,ille arid having this moment nothing to fear from' his adversary, he is going to divide his efforts against Monte Video, and the Oriental Republic. In this conjunction the ti,ooo Frenchmen settled in that republic are exposed to the greatest danger: the blood of Varangot, one of their country men, who was assassinated at Buenos Ayres, under the eyes of Admiral Mackau, during the negotiation, warns them that their only c ha nce o f sa f ety i s i n t h e e ff ec t ua l protection of their Government. Why, every Christian sect puts in the same claim, from the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland to the wildest sect of fanatics. They all proclaim loudly that whatever they do is done by Divine authority, and should the Puseyites be successful in gaining over the great body of the people of England to their doctrines, we should speedily be commanded to obey their edicts issued from Westminster in the name of CHRIST. As regards " transubstantiation," too, Mr. NE W MAN is a Catholic to the back bone. His expressions on this head, as on most others, abound with mysticism, for what purpose he knows best ; but as to the fact the following quotation leaves no doubt : It seems, however, that you think the 28th article does not deny " every kind of change, " from whi c h I t hi n k I am fairly led t o i mp l y t h at you believe some change does take place in the sacred elements by the effect of the words of consecration. At p. b 5, you say, " The body and blood of Christ may be really, literally present in the holy Eucharist, yet not having become present by local passage, may still literally and really be on God's right hand." Again, p. 56, " Now this is what the Catholic Church seems to bold concerning our Lord's presence in the Sacrament, that he then personally and bodily is with us in the way an object is which we call present. How he is so we know not," &c. At p. 58, we have these words : " Let them but believe and act on the truth, that the con secrated bread is Christ's body, as he says." For the other points of nominal distinction be tween the parties, we must refer our Protestant readers to the pamphlet itself, in which they will find, to their sorrow, that there are in the Established Church a numerous sect of teachers entertaining doctrines alike subversive of the re formed faith, and civil and religious liberty. The following quotation from the pamphlet, we trust, will not be without its effects on those who malign others less guilty than themselves:— We can easily disregard the taunts of the infidel, the sneers of the Deist, or the shallow arguments of the Soci nian, when directed against our orthodox faith ; but we may be allowed to feel, and we are called upon emphati cally to express a just indignation, when we find those very men whose theological researches have brought them round, most reluctantly, to a belief nearly identical with our own, eschewing our spiritual fellowship as if it were con iatiandg i ,d, n re a ns t aii degrading d i our — tn hge e p hur priestsasa r y g i e n i r ' S t g , h a nd oe u s cy : ( w sb ` C i l n br o is u t r ian r s it a es nd countrymen, to the level of the worshippers of Dagon and ieileihfeipiooudruroirlctayftoer,tly,l:otilwtno)-our faith, blas phemy Sin Ice our observations on the Nottingham election were written, which appear elsewhere, we have seen the report of the proceedings of s friends at Nottingharn, and we this Eil' day's Times. s hM p a e rv e .e c W h s eAe n i'll o T t a word is said about th Corn-laws. e NN I , e n d Mr..

How can pure water flow from a polluted source, or who can give force to laws which spring from a bribed constituency and a corrupt House of Commons? The bribery avowed at Ipswich, and asserted in other cases, taints the Ark of the Constitution. It is no light matter, for it im peaches all the acts of the House of Commons, and endangers the supremacy of the law. The Austrian Observer of the 10th inst., which we have just received, contains the following im portant announcement:— News received by express from Constantinople, dated the 29th ult., announces that the present Minister for Foreign Affairs, Reschid Pacha, has been dismissed from this post by the Sultan, and replaced by Rifaat Bey, formerly Ambassador of the Sublime Porte at the Court of Vienna, who has been named Pacha and Minister for Foreign Affairs. The Minister of Commerce, Fethi Achmed Pacha, is also replaced by the present Capitan Pacha, said Pacha, brother-in-law of the Sul tan. Tapir Pacha is appointed Capitan Pacha, Great Admiral. The dismissal of RESCHID PACHA prepares the way for the amicable settlement of the Eastern question, as RIFAAT BEY is known to be favour able to a modification of the firman for establish ing MEHEMET ALI in the hereditary government of Egypt. RESCHID PACHA hated the VICEROY as cordially as Lord PONSONBY himself, whose rumoured recal broke the only prop upon which the Foreign Minister could lean for support, op posed as he was by the united influence of Austria and" Russia. Private advices state that before taking office RIFAAT BEY pledged himself to Baron STURMER, the Austrian Internuncio, to concede every claim made by the VICEROY in his remonstrance to the SULTAN. This is well so far. In a European sense the downfall of any Cabinet was desirable which threatened a re newal of hostilities between the SULTAN and his vassal. But as regards the internal administra tion of Turkey the change in the Ministry is un fortunate. RESCHID PACHA was the advocate of reform on the most extensive scale, and in all truth reform is much wanted in Turkey.

PRESBYTERIANISM.---The Puseyites and all the believers in apostolical descent, and the unsanctity of sacraments administered by any other hands than those 9fa priest ordained by a Bishop who has derived grace from the Apostles, assert and contend that Presbyterianism is no Church 'at all. They are at direct variance with Mr. Car lyle, who thus speaks of Presbyterianism : " But in our islands there arose a Puritanism which even got itself established as a Presby terianism and national Church among the Scotch, which came thrth as a real business of the heart, and has produced in the world very notable fruits. In some senses one may say it the only phasis of Pi otestantism that ever got to the rank of being a faith, a true-hearted communica tion with heaven, and of exhibiting itself in his tory as such." We take ;ides with Mr. Carlyle so far as to pronounce that the Anglican Church is, in this sense, no faith, no true-hearted com munication with heaven, but rather a " simul acre" which has no heart nor truth in it. POST - OFFICE.—On the motion of Mr. Goul burn a return has been laid before the House of Commons of the number of chargeable letters which have passed through the London General Post-office (inwards and outwards) since the first general reduction of P ostage on the sth of De cember, 1839, dividing the time (as fir as prac ticable) into periods of four complete weeks each, and distinguishing as regards each period the unpaid, paid, and stamped, and total number of letters ; also a similar return of the estimated number of letters for the year immediately pre ceding the reduction. The following extracts show the rate of increase since the 30th of March, 1839 the four weeks ending on that day the total number of letters which passed through the General Post-office was 1,604,356. On 'March 28th, 1840, the number had increased to 3 ,372,667 ; and on the 27th o f M arc h , 1841, to 5,060,127. Under the old rate of postage the number of paid letters was about one-sixth part of the whole, while for the four weeks ending Mat ch 27, 1841, the number of paid and stamped letters was about eleven times as great as that of the unpaid, the numbers being 4,624,739 paid letters, and 435,388 unpaid. For the United Kingdom the total number of letters including franks delivered in one week, ending the 24th November, 1839, was 1,585,973, and in the week endin g th e 2 2 d N ovember, 1840, it was 3,456,115. The net revenue for the year ending the sth January, 1839, was 1,659,5091., and for the year ending the sth Ja nuary , 1841, 465,927/. Th e cost of management in 1839, was 756,9991., and in 1840, 903,677/. THE PRESIDENT STEAM -SHIP. 441. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY NIG HT.—We regret again to be un able to give you any satisfactory intelligence of this vessel, now thirty-eight days at sea. A great many ships from the westward have reached our port since the last post for London, none of which, however, bring any intelligence of the Presi dent. Amongst the number is the Maria, Collins, from St. Michael's, who reports that nothing was known of her at Ter ceira on the 27th, at Fayal on the 28th of March, or at St. Michael's on the 2d inst. The probability, therefore, of her beirg at the Western bland, is much diminishedby this arrival. SARIN. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LATEST BETTING AT MANCHESTER—FainAv. THE CHESTER.

BRUSSELS, APRIL 17.—The Prince de Joinville arrived at Brussels yesterday with one of his aides-de-eamp. Yesterday his Majesty presided in the Council of Ministers. Count Lealaing, our Charge d'Affaires at Madrid, has ten dered his resignation. Captain John Prissick, formerly Admiral of the Fgyptian fleet of Mehemet Ali, died yesterday at Schaerbiek, at the age of forty-nine years. He was one of the bravest officers of the English navy, esteemed for his private virtue as much as for his military courage. The Moniteur of to-day says—" Several journals have stated that the troops of the garrison were ordered to remain in their barracks during the evening of the 14th. We are autho rised to declare that this assertion is wholly destitute of foun dation." A letter from Durfieldorf of April 10, says—" The iron railroad between this and Elberfield is so far advanced that the locomotive was tried to-day, on the first section, from Erkrath to Frohwinkel, which it is probable will soon be open to the public. It is thought the whole line to Elberfeld will be open in a few weeks." RUSSIA. ODESSA, MAncit 24.—1 t seems to be the intention of Russia to employ this year a very considerable force against the Cir cassian mountaineers. The division of infantry stationed at Taganrog (belonging to the sth corps of the army) is already gone to Georgia. The 11th division stationed on the other side of the Dniester has also received orders to be in readiness to march, having been already raised to its full compliment. The twelvfth divisions remain for the present in Besssarabia, but is i ecruiting with great activity, and seems only to wait till it is complete. The troops in Georgia are, it is true, greatly reduced by typhus, and other epidemic dis orders, but the six divisions, consisting of 72,000 men, which are advancing, united with the t roops i n G eorgia, may certainly operate very decidedly on the offensive, unless hin dered by want of provisions, which is much felt in these pro vinces, chiefly in consequence of the severe winter. TEaintric, APRIL I.—Baron Von Lieven, aid-de-camp to his Majesty the Emperor of Russia, arrived at Belgrade the day tefore yesterday. The whole of the Prince's family, Prince Michael. himself, Ephraim Obrenswitsch, his uncle, and Princess Lubitza, mother of the reigning Prince, arrived at Belgrade on the same day : also M. Von.
