The discussion on the treaty of alliance of Pied mont with the Western Powers was continued in the Chamber of Deputies at Turin on the sth. The following is a brief summary of the proceed ings : _ _ ...Soiree members having complained that Ministers bad not laid the documents relating to the treaty before the Cbatnber, Count Cavour explained that he considered such a course prejudicial to the public interest. M. Valerio moved that the protocol to Jan. 10 might be delivered to the President of the Chamber that he might show it privately to any member who might wish to read it. This motion was azreed to by the Chamber. Count Solaro della Margherita, a member of the Right, who, in a previous sitting, had declared that he was still undecid e d whether 'he was to vote for or against the treaty, th en rose, and sa i d t h at as so impor tant a resolution as th at o f entering into a league with the WestErn Powers aga i nst R uss i a cou ld no t h a ve b een taken by the Cabin e t w i t h out very weighty reasons , h e would not hesitat e t o vote, even thoug h t h ose reasons were not previously communicated to him. M. Biancheri, on the contrary, declared, that as the policy of Piedmont had been, since 1848, founded on the principle of Italian nationality, and as, the treaty ap peared to him a deviation, if not a desertion, from that principle, he would oppose it. M. Gallenga maintained that the blood of the brave Piedmontese army was too precious to be thrown away in the Crimea. Count Revel (of the Extreme Right) declared he wonld vote for the treaty, though he thought it onerous in a financial point of view. The discussion wa,3 then adjourned to the following day. THE MONASTERY ()IT ST. GEORGE. The Moniteur publishes a letter from the Crimea, dated 27th ult., containing some interesting particulars relative to the monastery of St, George, a religious esta blishment, held in great veneration throughout the country. It was founded in the 10th century, and ori ginally served as an abole to a few Greek monks, who refused to join in the heresy of Photius, and placed it under the protection of St. George. The monastery is situated on the highest point of the coast' of Chersonesus, 360 feet above the level of the sea, and has been in habited, since 1829, by Russian monks, who supply with chaplains the fleet at Sebastopol. When the Al lied armies took possession of the ,positions they now occupy, General Canrobert, who has made himself f very popular in the country by the manner in which be maintains religious liberty and protects private property, confided the care of the monastery to a corps of Zouaves, and issued the following order of the day : " The Convent of St. George is placed under the protec tion of the Allied armies. Military men and other persons following the armies are forbidden to enter it by force, or to disturb in any way the security of the inhabitants, or violate the rights of property. " At the Camp of Chersonesus, Oct. 2, 1854 . " ThTehnaitonolrcd;NrvhLoasubsieleanllystirinchtalybiotbteaconvent the two armies. are 50 in number ; at present only 17 remain, the others being engaged with the duties of their ministry at Sebastopol. The Superior, who is invested with the di gn it y o f Archi maudrite, is Father Guerondi, a man of respectable ap pearance, about 48 years of age. He is tall and wears a long grey beard. His costume consists of a black robe, a black round hat without brims, to the back of which is adapted a black veil falling on his sh ou ld ers. A gold cross, placed on his breast, is the only sign that distin guishes him from the other monks. The convent is with in the direct jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Odessa. Father Guerondi understands his position, and expresses the greatest gratitude for the conduct of the army to wards him. On ordinary days the monks have only two church services, the one at nine o'clock in the morning and the other at three p.m. They officiate in th e Scla vonian language, which was substituted 25 years ago by the Emperor Nicholas, for the Greek language. Their singing is grave, and not wanting i n or i g i nality. They enjoy a great reputation of piety i n th e C r i mea, and their app e arance is very fair. Several among them, who were married, declare that they do not re gret the pleasures and joys of the world. With the ex ception of the A rc himandrite, they are a ll d evo i d of mnilittharey Commander and disciplin e , b e i ng o instruction, and k n ow very little even of th e i r re li gion. When they are on b o ard the Russian ship s t h ey are subjected v t ey o r th m e o r i n n o i s ng rigorousttowait e take his orders. It is he who regulates the labours of the day, and tells them the points they are to treat in their sermons and religious instructions to the seamen and marines, An officer assists at those exercises to ascertain if the orders of the Commander have been obeyed. That situation completely destroys the inde pendence of their sacred character, and renders them mere political tools in the hands of the Russian Government. MINING INTELLIGENCE.

The spinners of fine yarns, whose business has long been a losing one, w ill meet to-morrow for the purpose of considering a proposal to limit the hours of labour in their establishments. The makers of India goods and various other fabrics are strongly advised by the agency houses with which they are connec ted to adopt a measure which seems to be the only means of preventing such an accumulation of stock as must shortly tie up their bands most completely ; and we hear of two mills at Preston, in which the work people have received the notice usually given prior to such a restriction. The producer will find an additional motive to this course in the fact that the raw material remains firm in price, while the finished article is every week involving him in a greater loss. GLASGOW, Feb. 9. —Thera is no change to report in our cotton market. The sam e quietness which has prevailed for two or three weeks still contines, and prices are getting lower. BRADFORD, FRB.

From a variety of causes work is scarce and trade generally dull. ROCHDALE, Feb. . g .--- We have had - more inquiry for goods to-day than ou the previous Monday, but not much variation in price. The wool market remains quiet, and the tendency of prices is in favour of the buyer. HALIFAX, Feb. 3.—We have no alteration to report in the piece and yarn markets since our last weekly record. In the wool trade the business has been only limited, and the prices a little below what were current A week pr two ago. THE COFFEE TRADE. (From the Times of this day.) The great mystery of the unroasted coffee supplied to Gur troops in the Crimea is explained in a letter which we publish this day. It may be remembered that the distribution of unroasted coffee to cur poor soldiers was announced in the letter of our special correspondent in the Crimea. Thereupon a commercial firm in the city, actuated, we believe, by none but the most honourable motives, made all offer to the Government to remedy the defect by supplying the troops with the beery pro perly roasted at cost price. Their application was met, after a due period of official delay, by an intimation that " My Lords were not aware that coffee in an unroasted condition was supplied to the troops, and that such an occurrence was impossible, inasmuch as there were large establishments for roasting coffee in the various depart , ments," &c. This reason, however satisfactory it might appear to the authorities at home, seems not to have convinced the soldiers before Sebastopol that the green coffee berries which were distributed fur their use every three or four days were actually roasted. Now, from the letter of our correspondent "N.M.," who comes forward—as he has a perfect right to do—to de fend Lord Raglan, it appears that we have the benefit of the General's testimony in our favour as to the fact. Lord Raglan knew that t'ie coffee berries were unroasted, and took official notice of it. Our correspondent writes —" Ilas Lord Raglan, by neglect, even by silence, con nived at such folly ?" The answer follows :—" Early in October, by Lord Raglan's desire, Mr. Filder, the head of the Commissariat, wrote to the home authorities, complaining of the practice, and pointing o u t it s i n j ur i ous tendency. Up to the 20th of January no answer to the remonstrance had been received, nor had any roasted coffee arrived in the Crimea." Thus, then, we have ad- ' vanced one step in the solution of this question. The Commander-in-Chief is mot to blame ; the Commissary- General, too, would doubtless wish to wash his hands of all responsibility, and would triumphantly point to his letter, should his share in the transaction be called in question. It is somebody at home, not somebody in the Crimea, who is to blame. Now, who is this somebody ? There is somebody at home who can give us information as to the whereabouts of this other somebody who has been guilty of so flagrant a breach of duty. We trust the public will not let the matter rest until it is properly cleared up, and the guilty person dealt with according to his deserts. We do not quarrel with those who abuse us for the course we have adopted in exposing the mis management of the Crimean army ; let them abuse the Times to their hearts' content, but let them not throw difficulties in the way when we are endeavouring to find out the source of an acknowledged neglect. Lord Rag lan and Mr. Commissary Filder are upen our side at least this time. Up to the 20th of January, be it re membered, no answer to their remonstrance bad arrived nor had any roasted coffee been received in the Crimea. But, when our correspondent "N. M." gravely fol lows up this valuable information with the question " Could Lord Raglan have done any more ?"—we almost suspect that he is indulging in dry jocularity either at his or our expense. Astonishing as such an effort may appear, ws cannot but think that Lord Raglan might have done one thing more—namely, have issued an order, which it would have taken him but two minutes to write, or perhaps five seconds to sign, directing the Commissary to have the coffee roasted forthwith. Surely there were a fow idle Turks about the camp who could rcast coffee, if they could do nothing else. Surely the bulk of the coffee might even have been transmitted to Constantinople and brought back again in a condition fit for human use. It was as rational to distribute to the soldiers unroasted coffee as it was in Mr. Bumble to "relieve" his dying pauper with five shillings' worth of Dutch cheese. The following is the letter referred to above : Sir,—General accusations are difficult to meet. It is easier to say that Lord Raglan has done his duty badly than t , ) prove that he has done it well. But your paper of to-day refers to a distinct and specific charge. Who is responsible for the unroasted coffee ? Has Lord Rag lan, by neglect—even by silence—connived at such folly ? Early in October, and by Lord Raglan's desire, Mr. Filder, the head of the Commissariat, wrote to the home authorities complaining of the practice, and point ing out its injurious tendency. Up to the 20th of Jan. no answer to the remonstrance had been received, nor had any roasted coffee arrived in the Crimea. Could Lord Raglan have done more ? Is it wholly improbable that, in examining other specified and definite charges, we shall find as striking remains of the "ancient good ness" of the man as your columns have told of the "ancient courage" of the soldier ?

The remarkable address of Lcrd Derby to•his brother peers on Ti ursday evening, ought to be read by every person in the empire desiring to comprehend the exact position of parties and of public affairs at this momentous crisis. Minute in its details, frank and dignified in it tone and spirit, masterly in its review of the entire po sition of affairs, it exhibits, above all, an exalted pa triotism and loyalty, and an unswerving fidelity to the great party acknowledging him as its head. Before ad verting to one or two signal disclosures in the address, let us say, with perfect sincerity, that he has removed every doubt which bad haunted us as to the prudence of declining to form an administration when lately hon oured with her Majesty's commands to do so. As we value frankness above almost all things, we have ac knowledged that such doubts bad haunted us ; but they are totally dispelled by Thursday night's statement— ' one which a thousand-fold enhances that distinguished nobleman's claim to the support of the Conservative party, and to the confidence of the country at large, ir respective of party ; while his profound consideration fur the true interests of the Queen cannot but be appre ciated by that Royal Lady. This explanation places the Earl of Derby in a vivid contrast to every statesman or politician of the present day, except Lord Lansdowne; whom, much as we dif fer from him on certain points, we believe to have at heart the best interests of the public service. Nay, w e believe that had Lord Derby succeeded in forming a n Administration, it would have had no cold or reluctant support from the noble marquis. Throughout Lord Derby's explanation shines clear and steady the proud spirit of disdaining to be a Minis ter on sufferance—a position, not only personally de grading, but attended with absolute peril to the public interests, as he proved on that occasion with inimitable felicity and force. No one could hear him, nor can read his speech, without feeling that lie would have been the fitting head of a great War Ministry, that he perfectly knew the necessity of a strong presiding will and steady Parliamentary support, as well as of resolute, able, and united colleagues. How would the deliberations of his Cabinet have been strengthened by a knowledge of the unflinching support they could have obtained in the House of Commons how palsied by the apprehen sion that he might fail in obtaining such support, and must tack, and trim, and pare down, and accommodate his measures so as to conciliate a capricious majority in the Lower House ! This is the contrast between his position and that of his rivals, if such a word be a( 1 - inissiblo on such an occasion ; what he disdains they court ; and the disastrous consequences have been visible ever since the resuscitated coalition came originally into office. We believe that events will speedily show a prescient prudence of the course which Lord Darby has taken. That he will be ere long at the helm of affairs we en tertain no doubt whatever; and then will be seen how solid is the basis which he has laid for Conservative ascendancy in the councils of his country. We see him confidently biding his time, resolved not to assume till he can retain the reins of power. It will by-and-bye be ap parent to even those now politically opposed to Lim that clear-si g ht e d ness an d d ec i s i on on t h e l a t e occasion, while attesting his political sagacity, have satisfied his country of his patriotism, and his Queen of his wisdom and devotion to her service. He proves to demonstration that in the present state of the House of Commons his Government would have been every moment at the mercy of a capricious and treacherous combination of opponents, ready for such combination for one purpose only—to oust him from power, as experience had but too lately shown him. We cannot see what he could do beyond what he did, under such circumstances, to make an honourable advance to that one of the late Ministry, Lord Palmerston, who seemed to him, as it were by common consent, exempt from the fierce censures passed on his companions. How that advance was met we now know. But this brings us to the disclosures of the explanation ; some portions of which will delight, and others disgust the country. It now appears that the Earl of Derby would have had for his right-hand man him in whom the whole country would have welcomed as the very man for the crisis—the Earl of Ellenborough, whose indomitable re solution, powerful intellect, admirable eloquence, and, above all, splendid qualification for military administra tion, would in an instant have re-assured the fainting heart of the country—who would have been a host in himself, but who would have fallen before the first blast of faction from the House of Commons, at the bidding of an opposition specially coalesced for the occasion Now we are very curious to know whether the Earl of Derby told Viscount Palmersten that the Earl of Ellenborough had consented to be War Minister in the new Cabinet of which the Earl of Derby was to be the head ? Probably he did ; and if so, all is explained. The ambitious viscount took the alarm ; the man of the situation, before the country and all Europe, would be the Earl' of Ellen borough, and not Viscount Palmer ston, who, moreover, would not be Premier. So he resolved coute qui coute, to retreat, without reason as signed, from Lord Derby's patriotic advance, and the country has lost, for the critical present, the incom parable services of the Earl of Ellenborough. To fill up the gap for the nonce, Lord Palmerston bad recourse to Lord Panmure—a man undoubtedly of con siderable administrative ability, but notoriously an in- valid, and whose shattered health it is most unfair to press into the public service on so urgent an occasion, and with such incessant and overwhelming labour and responsibilities. If Lord Panmure should soon be forced to retire, who is to take his place ? The country will then look sternly towards those who deprived it of Lord Ellenborough. Another disclosure is, the Queen's prompt appeal to the Earl of Derby, and unconditional commission to form a Conservative Govlrnment, on the one band; and, on the other, his assurance to her Majesty that she might rely on him and his friends for a Ministry, should other combinations fail. And a Ministry he can form which will abundantly satisfy the country; and it will be one supported by the overwhelming force of public opinion. There were peculiar and delicate reasons why at this conjuncture Lord Derby should not have dissolved a House of Commons, however confident he might be that it did not, as it assuredly does not, represent the sense of the country. Circumstances may soon render that necessary ; and we shall then see whether the country will incline towards the Earl of Derby and his Conser vative friends, guiltless of the war, untainted with its foul mismanagement, and admirably conducting the affairs of the country, till overthrown by an unprincipled cabal, who are alone, undeniably and avowedly, respon sible for the war and for its infamous mismanagement. We fear the new cabinet will but too soon exhibit its ricketty condition in divided counsels and feeble action, in jealousies and dissensions ; but they may safely rely on receiving from the Conservative party, however ill the coalition may have deserved it, not only forbear ance, but a support without which they could not stand a day. The Conservative party and the country will, however, at the same time, keep their eye on Mr. Roe buck's committee, its constitution, and disclosures. BANK OP FRANCE.

About 3io sat down. to dinner, and it is men tioned that "none of the claw gentry or clergy were in cluded in the invitations." After the banquet the noble- Marquis rose to propose " the Health of the Queen," and in the course sf his addistss thus referred to the great event of the day For the .first time now something of salness, something of gloom, has been cast around our Sovereign's crown. My friends, the . present gather ing, the gathering of this evening, is well suited to throw a sun-ray across that shadow. Her Majesty need not fear, her councillors need not fear, so long as they are true to her Majesty—(loud cheers) —for the free country which she rules will be true to her. My friends, it is not alone upon the snowy and ice-clad bills of Bala klava that we have Nicholas to meet. Mismanagement may hare existed, fats° calculations may have been made, but it is the elastic and indomitable spirit of the people of this country that will destroy and neutralise the terrors of that cold an d i n h osp i ta bl e s h ore . Casu alties and misfortunes may arise, the hopes of the nation may for a time be wrecked, the deeds of the great men who existed years ago may be gone and past, but the trophies of a Nelson and a Wellington still remain ; the army and the navy are the same that they then were, their sons have beau born in the same native earth, and their spirit is the same. Of England I will not speak, nor of Scotland, but to Ireland I will refer, for Ireland is my own land, that I love best, dearest, and I say that, though the great Czar of Russia may look upon our shivering ranks, and upon the melancholy exhibitions in the Crimea, yet would I like to show him au assemblage such as that which I have now the honour to be in the midst-of —(cheers)—and to tell him that all his nobles, and lords, and , princes, his dukes, his potentates, and his Menschi kofts, are not worth 300 such good and true men, who aro not serfs, or vassals, or slaves, but who can come thus beneath their landlord's roof, and say, We live with you, you live with us ; your lot is cast with as, our lot is cast with you.' (Loud cheering.) You, an d all of you, should hold it as a Christian duty, as well a s a mat ter of political necessity, to merge all. difficu lties and dif ferences, and to say that Great Botain must be main tained, and her might for the future strongly and power fully preserved. (Hear.) Thus you can best show your loyalty to the Crown, and I think that a meeting like this can show to the Crown what it can best rely on—not the sympathetic howl which across the Atlantic comes and goes in the national prosperity, but that which is prepared to stand by her Majesty, whether hei path be rough or smooth, and to Maintain against all foes the honour, security, integrity, and moral ability of the Crown." Later in the evening the noble Marquis, speaking to .be mast of " the Land we Live in," remarked : " There is no single thing in the world so bard as for a man to do his duty. (Cheers.) You are expected by men to do it, but recollect how much higher a call is upon you. God expects you to do your duty, and when you measure it by that great standard how very short do you. Come of that perfection which is required I For myself and my dear wife, I need not remind you that we are a family party ; here we know no strangers. And whm I think of that I cannot but think of Sir Celia Campbell, when he led the Highland Brigade upon the heights of the Alma. (Cheers.) Sir Cohn Campbell said, We'll hae vane but Heelan' bonnets here'—(re newed applause)—se, my friends, when we were to be here I thought I would have you, and be in the midst of you with my `ain wifey,' and that I would have `nano here but just our ain folk.' (Great applause.) Here is security for your farms and improvements, as I know the fall is at your doors. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, if I fail it is with you. It is for no object lam saying so ; lam not discussing art,y new opinion or fresh conviction on that subject—the much-mooted subject of tenant-right. My impression is that a change has come over all 'of us since this question was mooted —not that it is less valu able—not that it does not remain as an ore in the earth, to be worked out ; but I do think that during the pro. sent state of things, it is our duty to sink all questions in the common consideration of the country's welfare—the necessity of forming a strong and efficient Government, and obeying one common object—that of supporting tho Queen. (Cheers.) I had but one object in supporting the tenant-right question, which was marked by my votes in Parliament, and which lost me my position in this country ; but from these principles I will not depart. (Cheers) I am afraid you may be flattered without reason, and that you may imagine I have taken such a great interest in your welfare that I do not think of my own ; hut I would not have been as I always was, for affording security to the farmer to lay' ont his money on the land if I was not sure it was the best thing for me— (cheers)—therefore' you have not mere seeking for popu larity on my part, but I have indicated a motive which all have in view, as I am fully convinced the landlord has the greatest interest in the outlay of money in the soil. You are all sharp, clever , and shrewd men. I know I am not talking to men who are unable to weigh every word I speak—who will allow their hearts alone, and not their understanding, to be addressed, but I am speaking to your understanding when I say that if the farmer has good times now, there may be a time of re verse. (Hear.) War has come, and it has brought its consequences with it. Every interest, or very nearly every interest, in the country is suffering. The farniers falone ars doing any good, and may God bless the armer (Cheers.)" ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. WINDSOR. Yesterday morning, the chairman of Lord C I . Welles. ley's committee at the general election in 1852 received a letter from his lordship, to the effect that the Almost total absence of sight, under which the noble lord is still suffering, renders it impossible for him to disoharge big Parliamentary duties, and that he had made up his mind to vacate his seat for Windsor by accepting the Chiltern. Hundreds on an early day. Scarcely had this commu— nication been made public when it was announced that , the new writ had been moved for at the early sittings of the House of C ommons . B e f ore thi s l a tt er f ac t was ge nerally kno wn , - Mr. G. W. Hope, accompanied by Mr. Leslie Melville (the resident partner of the Windsor Bank and Brewery), had made a partial canvass of the town, and at five o'clock in the afternoon, his address, offering himself as a Liberal-Conservative c a n did ate, was is.ued. Mr. Hope is the nephew of Lady M on t agu , and cousin to the Duke of Buceleuch, which will ac count for the address being dated from Ditton Park, in this neighbourhood, one of the many seats possessed by his grace, and now occupied by Lady Montagu. Mr. Hope was returned for Weymouth in 1537, in opposi tion to the late Sir Thomas Fowell .13uton, and will secure on the present occasion the cordial support of the Conservative party. It is understood that Air. Samson Ricardo, of Titness-park, Sunninghill, who contested. this borough against Lord Charles Wellesley In 1852, will be in the field to-morrow. TIVERTON. The writ for the electionoia member of Parliament for this borough was received at Tiverton on Thursday morning. The election is fixed for Monday next. Daring the course of the day an influential meeting of his lordship's supporters and friends was held, at which it was represented that there would not, in all probabi lity, be the slightest opposition to the noble premier's re turn ; and that, therefore, considering how important it. was that he should remain in London, it was undesir able that he should be present at the election. In pur suance of these suggestions, tide following resolution was passed, from which it will be seen that it is not at all probable that Lord Palmerston will visit the borough on Monday : " TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF TIVERTON. " Lord Palmerston having accepted the office of First Lord of the Treasury, and having consequently vacated his seat in Parliament for this borough, the committee for ensuring his lordship's re-election met this morning, and unanimously passed the following resolution : " `That considering the present state of public affairs, and how necessary Lord Palmerston's presence is in Lon don, his lordship's friends in this borough are of opinion that, under these circumstances, his personal attendance at the ensuing election should be dispensed with.' "The committee feel assured that they have acted only in accordance with the wishes of their brother electors in having communicated the preceding ,resolution to Lord Palmerston ' • and that, much as they would rejoice to wel come his lordship as the head of her Majesty's Govern ment, yet, that if the interests of the public service repair* his presence in London, the electors of Tiverton will be prepared unanimously to return him, though absent, as one of their representatives in Parliament. "Signed on behalf of tho Committee. "J. H. AMORY, Chairman. "Dated Tiverton, Feb. 8, 1855." Yesterday (Friday) the following address from Lord Palmerston was issued : TO THE ELECTORS OF TIVERTON. Gentlemen,—The Queen having been graciously pleased to confe r upon me the office of First Lord of the Treasury, my seat in the House of Commons has become vacant ; and I again solicit at your hands a continuance of that confidence on your part which I have now for so long a period had the honour to enjoy. lam fully sensible of the deep responsibility which attaches to the high post in which her Majesty has been pleased to command my Kw. el f h a r andh have e prosperityde volved vices ; a n d no effort shall be wanting on my part for a due performanceupene To of the important promote d t u h t e i e w s wic e h of this great nation must at all times be the anxious study of those to whose hands may be committed the manage.. ment of its affairs; but, at the present moment, that task is beset with difficulties which require proportionate exer tions. This country has been compelled to engage in war, for objects which the judgment of the nation has declared to be of sufficient magnitude and importance to render necessary the exertions and sacrifices which that war may require. We are contending against a powerful adversary, but we are contending in concert with a powerful and faithful ally ; and I confidently hope that the spirit and energy of the British people will triumph over all difficul ties, and that by vigorous exertions in war we shall attain that end which is the object of all just war—a safe and honourable peace.—l have the honour to be, gentlemen , your most obedient and humble servant, " 144, Piccadilly, Feb. 8." fp4LMEBSTON.
