Frenchmen may kayo had qualms formerly about the forces evades, the VAUTRINS and MACAIRES of the drama, born of the galleys, and fostered into celebrity by the genius of DE BALZAC and LE MAITRE—but Englishmen begin now to wince more shudderingly over the notion of select bands of skilled rascality, and half-educated in famy, and partially-reclaimed ruffianism—what the author of Firmilian designates, "The rag and tag and bobtail of mankind," being set loose upon society at intervals from the bagnea of Dartmoor and the galleys of Ports mouth. While our Allies are looking askause, with a modified sense of remorse, in the direction )f Cayenne and Nuka-hiva, we are beginning, some at least amongst us are beginning, with very different feelings, actually to revert to thoughts of Botany Bay, and even of that lovely and horrible Norfolk Island, which seemed during so many dreadful years at once a Paradise and a Pande- DRIIRY-LANE.—Lessee, Mr. E.

Already much has been accomplished, neverthe less, in spite of an apparently chaotic jumble of theories, and experiments towards the amelioration of the social state, so far as that can be at all •Tected, through the better management of our criminal population. Advantageous results have been arrived at, chiefly, however, it must be con fessed, through the medium of a rather costly experience. Scarcely a project has been passed over without its being subjected to trial by the way—the working of each iew scheme being watched the while with a scrutiny as minute and vigilant as we believe it to have been throughout impartial and conscientious. It is thus that the public has been enabled to attain something like a correct estimate of the effects of the several methods of treatment brought successively under examination. Whatever benefits could possibly be extracted from each have been effectually searched out, whether those benefits were derivable from the plan of the convict association, upon public works, as at Portland, or from that of separate confinement, as at Pentonville. Insomuch have the authorities advanced steadily towards the solu tion of the problem thrust upon them by a for midable necessity for the chance at least of its ultimate elucidation, that (even when they may have appeared to the undiscerning to have become in some measure bewildered, if they have not seemed to have positively and. enormously retro graded) they have so contrived matters that we are by this time enabled to estimate precisely at their true value the different means adopted for the improvement of criminals bath under the separate system and under that of association. So that we can nowadays, so to speak, place our finger, at pleasure, upon any numeral in the tabular statistics recording the results of Training and Discipline, of Badges and Classification, of offering gratuities to the well-conducted and holding out incentives to the industrious. Under the influence of these generous en deavours to extract good from evil, the Prisons of England have risen to the dignity of being nothing less than grand reformatary establish ments, instead of remaining, as they had done previously, mere grim abodes of impenitent ex piation. They are somewhat of a contrast, indeed, it will doubtless bo admitted, to the foul and pestilential dens of punishment. in which the guilty wretches of the last century were huddled together in filth and darkness, when HOWARD first directed his herculean benevolence to the cleansing of those Augean pits of infamy, disease, despair, and all imaginable and unimaginable kinds of suffering. Under any circumstances, the graphic and luminous records penned by the truthful hand of Mr. FIELD, or of Mr. DlXON—descriptions comprised in the me 7 ,norials drawn up by those intelligent biographers of the Life and Labours of our Master-Philanthropist--read to us less like the account of a reality than like the drearaings of some distempered imagination. It must especially appear so to those who may chance to have examined for themselves the organisation of the Hulk Establishments at Woolwich, or to those, again, who may happen to have observantly traversed the galleries and examined the whole of the beautifully-systematised arrangement of the Mil'bank Penitentiary.

Tbt §AtAt LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 19, 1855, Although every other home question has been effectually set aside by the War, there is one which of necessity still commands the most earnest and vigilant observation. The vast and important question, that is, the paramount and dominant difficulty, the bewildering and apparently inextri c able problem—relating to a comprehensive modi fication of the Criminal Code, with a view to the repression of vice and the diminution of crime through the reorganisation of our whole system of secondary punishments. Whether we happen to be in arms or at peace, the laws of the land are liable, of course, to be perpetually violated, and equally as a matter of course in every such instance their outraged majesty must re quire some immediate and adequate vindi cation. How this may be most readily and suc cessfully accomplished, has during many years s past been the projected discovery of the more We have all been repeating the observation that philanthropic among the heads of the people, Aristocracy is on its last trial, Lord PALMERSTON Whether in the Legislature or in the Administra- being leading counsel for the culprit.

The consequence is, he tells us, " that there is not a profession or occupation which does not s warm with industrious, intelligent, and earnest younger sons, whose industry was stimulated, and whose intellect was excited, by the knowledge that they must depend on their own exertions." Capital, this, to be sure! Had the Hon. Member forgotten the Committee which sits in the morning ? Or was he quite oblivious of tho little fact that the coun try is universally cursing the system which has filled the civil service and the army appointments with younger sons," and demands as the first of reme dies that the idleness and incompetency of these young outcasts of primogeniture shall not take precedence of the industry and intellect of the classes who take no account of their great grand fathers ? The Solicitor-General must really un learn the lessons of Lord ELDON, if he wishes to convince the country now. The other notable illustration of aristocratic assurance was the rejection of Mr. WILLIAMS' proposition, certain to take the form of an Act of Parliament some day, for subjecting real pro perty to Probate Duty, equally with personal property. Here the new Chancellor of the T::- chequer was the selected champion of aristocratic exemptions—the aristocracy having first attempted in vain the dodge of a count out. The constitu tion of the ecclesiastical courts, which can only deal with the probate of personal property, was his first objection, as if there were no serious wish to abolish those nuisances altogether, and to sub stitute a court competent to deal with real pro perty. His next argument was, Mr. GLADSTONE ; —he had proved that landed property was more heavily taxed than real property—an argument which has merely the unfortunate defect that Mr. GLADSTONE can prove anything. He could prove, for instance, that there were 30,000 bayonets after the Battle of Inkerman, when the Duke of CAM BRIDGE, on the spot, could make out, with every one besides, not more than 12,000 or 13,000. Of course his arguments appeared perfectly con clusive to a House so largely composed of sans and other connexions of peers, who were what they were in virtue of aristocratic ex emptions. Neither the inherent injustice and inequality of the present law, nor the addition of 2,500,0001. per annum to the revenue by the simple expedient of one law for all, could gain a majority for Mr. WILLIAMS. The late editor of the Edinburgh Review re-edited most successfully the works of Mr. GLADSTONE. The Parliamentary soiree closed by a well-sns tained aristocratic charge on the Men of Cotton. A new Ten Hours Bill was the occasion selected. Some Radicals, indeed, seemed to take the lead. The large majority, however, 101 to 109, con sisted chiefly of gcod and. tried Tories. Corn can beat cotton yet if it likes. Altogether aris tocracy was iu high feather on Thursday ; it gave Radical honesty and common sense two right down drubbings, and also let the cotton lords see what it could do if it only choose to put forth its power. Some of the stronger sighted, however, must have perceived Crimean ghosts hovering over these Parliamentary triumphs of aristocracy. Poor unfortunate Poland, under whatever task master, NICHOLAS or ALEXANDER, seems doomed to suffer the most revolting injuries. It was not enough that she had lost a position among nations —that she was absorbed in a semi-barbarous em pire—that her noblest and best wore exiles—that her rising population were trained to forget her history, and that the aspirations of their fathers were held in abeyance by the terrors of the fusil lade, the knout, and Siberia—it was not enough that the it.dmitry of the people was taxed to the utmost to strengthen in effect their oppressors in their tyranny : there was another bitter drop, the bitterest of all, left in store for her—her brave Poles must be compelled to fight for Russia ! Perhaps in the whole history of oppression there is nothing more revolting than this. To suffer under ordinary tyranny has something redeeming in it ; but to be compelled to fight for your tyrant, to strengthen the chains by which you are en thralled, is to be made to participate in your own degradation and. ruin. And yet to this has poor Poland had to submit. In pursuance of a policy positively diabolical in its ingenuity, the country has from the commencement of the War been drained of its able-bodied men, who have been incorporated with Russian regiments and pushed forward to the various scenes of conflict. Did any show a symptom of dissatisfaction ? A file of men, with powder and ball, and his demon strations were over ! Russia has felt from the first that Poland was the weak spot of the empire ; hence a vast force has been concentrated in it, and the fighting population have been made away with as we have described. " Order "isto " reign at Warsaw," and the work still goes on. Though NICHO LAS be dead, the CZAR lives, grasping, insatiate, remorseless. Nay, under ALsxamiEn, it acquires fresh atrocity. The levies, we now gather from a late telegraphic despatch, are becoming nocturnal. The unfortunate Poles, we believe, of every class, are dragged at the dead of night from the bosom of their wives and families, to fight the battles of their oppressor. In vain is their resistance—in vain aro their protestations—their fate is sealed; they must march or die. And so run out the sands of Poland—so dwindle away the most effec tual means of bridling and restraining Russia offered to Europe! Blind statesmen—canning A us tria. Order must soon reign in Warsaw, and that with a vengeance! POST-OFFICE DIRECTORY OF ESSEX, lIE.RTS, KENT, MIDDLESEX, SURREY, AND SUSSEX. KELLY AND CO. THE A - EGOTIA WON'S Al' VIENNA. VIENNA, March 15.—At about half-past one this afternoon the Vienna Congress was opened. Shcrtly after one o'clock A rif Effendi, the Turkish Ambassador, and his adlatus, Riza Bey, made their appearance at the Austrian Foreign-office, where they found Count Blvd and Baron Prokeseh-Osten ready to receive them. Then came the Russian plenipotentiaries, Prince Gortschakolf and M. de Titoff. Next arrived her Britannic Majesty's plenipotentiaries, the Earl of Westmoreland and Lor3 John Russell ; and lastly, Baron de Bourqueney, the French ambassador and plenipotentiary at this Court, made his appearance. The members of the Congress thus assembled were then conducted to one of the principal drawing-rooms in Count Buol's residence, which had been arranged for the purpose. Ihere were eleven chairs placed around the " green board." His Excellency Count Buol-Schauenstein occupied the pre sident's chair, and opened the solemn proceedings of the Congress with a brief but very impressive speech. Baron von Meysenbug officiated as secretary. From the above recital you will observe that Turkey, England, Russia, and Austria are each re presented by two plenipotentiaries, and France only by one ; consequently there were present in all nine plenipotentiaries and one secretary. For whom the eleventh chair was intended at the "green board" I have yet to learn. Peradventure it is kept vacant either for Ali Pacha, who is still expected from Constantinople, or for a representative from Prussia, although the latter's entry into the assembly appears to be postponed sine die. In competent quarters it is stated that the respective members of the Congress have pledged themselves to each other t) keep the proceedings of the Congress strictly secret, and the semi-official ustrian Correspon dence has also been condemned to an absolute silence upon this subject. THE FLAG OF TRUCE AT THE MALA- Commercial and professional men, and others, having business transactions or connections of any sort with the above counties, will readily appre ciate the value of a work of this kind, having the information required brought up to the latest date, and that information, so far as we can discover, at once accurate and clearly and concisely con veyed. The last edition of the Directory was pub lished in 1851, and since that period the changes which have taken place, owing mainly to the faci lities of railway communication, have been very great, so great, indeed, as to render the appearance of th© present edition peculiarly welcome. Some idea of the increase of population may be obtained from the fact that, notwithstanding many of the suburban districts, such as Clapham, Brixton, Camber well, Kentish Town, Dalston, Kingsland, have been tranferred to the London Directory, the pres.mt edition of the six home counties con tains 200 pages more than the last. The general arrange wents remain as before, but the Index has been cousiderably enlarged, references being given to places; much more minute than were previously mention ed. The external Index is formed by means of coloured edges, boldly lettered, a mode so univei sally approved of by all who use the Lon don work ; and the number of subdivisions being smaller, Qz.t - t Messrs. Kelly have been enabled to adopt a sit apler form. The Directory for each county is ac comnanied by a valuable and compre hensive ma - ,), showing, among other things, the respective r ailway routes ; and of the entire work we may say it is admirably got up, and reflects the greatest ler edit on its authors for their zeal and couscientii)usness. KOFF TOWER. A GEN'Z'LEII.4,It SENTENCED TO THE TREADMILL.— The Cork Examine,- states that Mr, Grice Smith, of Castle liV;_denham, a gentleman of high position and large fortune., 'has been cotnruitted to gaol for a mouth, and senten, dto hard labour on the tres.dtnill, for having one night t urn down the gates of several gentlemen and wreneg ed off the knockers. A letter from Sebastopol of the Ist gives the following details coicerning a short truce which followed the affair of the Malakoff Tower : " On the 26th ult, it was arranged that a detachment of each army should proceed to bury the dead. BJth parties met accordingly, and on the French side it was the Zouaves who were detached for that service. They advanced under a flag of truce towards the batteries of the tower, and the Russians did the same. While the men were at work, a long conversation took place be tween the Russian officer who commanded the detach ment, mad the major of the trenches of the 3d division. We learnt that, of the five officers of Zouaves who had disappeared, only ene, Capt. Pierre, was still alive. Capt. Lesage, who had been taken prisoner, had had his leg amputated at Sebastopol, but had not survived the operation. The Russian officer behaved in a very gen t eman-like manner, an used the most honourable terms in speaking of our unfortunate companions. Re also mentioned that an officer of marines was amongst the prisoners. He gave some interesting particulars re specting the funeral ceremony which had taken place at Sebastopol on the burial of our officers. They were taken to their last home with all the honours due to their rank, and a large body of troops were called out for the occasion. Capt. Pierre had been entrusted with the melancholy duty of directing the funeral ceremony. The same Russian officer took leave very politely as soon as the work for which the short truce had been granted was concluded." stu4, LONDON,, MON_DAY A'VENING, MARCH to, 1866. COURT CIRCULAR.

Despatches were received at the Colonial-office on Saturday from. the Governore of Australia and New Zealand. The specie arrivals of the week have amounted to nearly 800,0001., all in gold. The exports have been insignificant. The Oliver Lang had left Sydney for Liverpool, and is expected to bring bold. The Anion, from Lauticei.- ton for London, has 1,422 ounces and 10,000 sovereigns, making a total of 21,7001. The - Argo screw steamer, which arrived yesterday from Australia, has already been taken up by the Eng lish Government for the conveyance of cavalry. She i of 1,850 tons burden and 300-horse power, and Cie con tract is for six months. The Natal, of 630 tons and 100- horse power, also belonging to the General Screw Com pany, has been chartered for a similar period by the French Government. The latter vessel has sailed, and the Argo is expected to be ready in 10 days. The aecounts from Adelaide, South Australia, reach to the 2d of January. The successful resumption of mining operations was indicated by increased shipments of copper ore. Burra Burra shares were quoted 1561. 10s., and the rates for money ranged from 10 to 20 per cent., according to the security. The Victoria had sailed for London with 30,000 sovereigns, in addition to a general cargo of wool and copper ore. S x or seven vessels were loading wool for this port, and two or three others were expected to follow. The Maidstone Journal states that the gentleman who has been requested to stand on the Tory interest for the county, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the regretted retirement of Sir E. Filmer, is Sir Walter Riddell, Bart., recorder for the borough of Maidstone. Sir Walter has consented to becom e a candidate.

HANOVER-SQUARE ROOMS. —The fourth of the after noon vocal concerts, dedicated to the illustration of the music of Sir Henry Bishop, which took place on Satur day, at the Hanover-square Rooms, was exceedingly well attended — occasioning the public announcement that another series wc.uld be commenced after Easter. The selection comprised several of the compositions which had been performed at:the former meetings; and there were no less than four encores. The pieces were rendered with the greatest possible taste by Mr. Francis, Mr. Benson, Mr. Land, Mr. Lawler, Mr. Buckland, and the Cathedral boys, and no vocalism of the concerted class was ever more sweetly and delicately executed. We observe that a concert, on a large scale, is to be given by Mr. Mitchell, on the 27th instant., at Exeter Hall, when the vocal force will extend to 200 voices, and certain of Sir Henry Bishop's most popular tenor ballads be sung by Mr. Sims Reeves. THE CIVIL SERVICE.—The following full storekeepers are about to proceed on foreign service :—Mr. W. H. G. Johnstone, deputy steeekeeper, Fort St. George, N. 8., to Ceylon ; Mr. Jolla Drew, deputy storekeeper on half-pay, to Sierra Leone ; Mr. J. C. Rowland; Ordnance clerk, Pall-mall, to Hong Kong. An Ordnance establishment is being formed in the Bosphorus. Mr, E. F. Sandys has been appointed temporary clerk in the Audit-office, Somerset-hotise, vice Irving, appointed to the Admiralty. Messrs.

THE FUNERAL CORTEGE OF THE LATE CZAR.--.The Journal de St. Petersbourg of the 10th publishes a sup- Pletneent of twelve pages, setting forth the ceremonial approved of by the Emperor Alexander, for the funeral cortege on the occasion of the removal of the body of the late Emperor Nicholas from the Winter Palace to the Cathedral Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul. In some respects the regulations are not unlike those adopted at the funeral at St. Paul's of the late Duke of Wellington. First is an extraordinary dis play of banners and military ; and then representatives of the Court, the civil Government, and various col - - poratirens and philanthropic societies. Chanters from the convent of St. Alexander Nevsky and those of the Catheclred of Notre Dame de Casan, followed by a long train of clergy, holding lighted tapers in their hands, and two pictures of saints, and lastly the confessor of the lalk Emperor—immediately precede the funeral ea-. The E4riperor Alexander follows, and at stated distances other members of the Imperial family..

Four British trading vessels were stranded between the 25th and f26th ult., in consequence of the dense fug. For tune tely no lives were lost. Generals do Courtigis and Bur( Ili, in command of the camps of Equilian and Ann- Mete see, furnished the soldiers required by the marine depai ement as working parties, with officers, to assist in sa wing the cargoes ; and most effectually it was done. One of the shire the Mangosteen, of London, of 333 tons inrrthen, from India, with a very rich cargo, derived very egre at benefit from the military, 300 in number, in making a road over the rocks, so as to enable carts to get to tl ie wreck, which was most expeditiously executed, and a vs ry considerable portion of her cargo was safely landed, ghich otherwise could not have been effected previous to the ship's breaking up. LATEST NEWS. BERLIN, MARCH 18Tu. A manual levy of recruits was made through out Poland ou the night of the 13th inst. The proximate cause of the death cf the Em peror Nicholas was the receipt of the telegraphic despatch announcing the defeat of the Russians at Eupatoria. VIENNA, MARCH 18, A second meeting of the Conference took place yesterday. The first protocol was confirmed. It contains the interpretation of the four points as a general basis for negotiation. The four points will be discussed seriatim. Yesterday, the first point, which relates to the Principalities, formed the subject for deliberation. The discussion was adjourned. The progress is most favourable, and nothing can be more conciliatory than the spirit evinced by Prince Gortschakofl and M. de Titoff. Austria holds unflinchingly to the views of the Western Powers. VIENNA, SUNDAY EVENING. Accounts, from Czernowitz, of the 16th, state that Russian preparations indicate an eventual evacuation of Bessarabia without a contest. Prince Gortschakoff has left for the Crimea, to take the supreme command. GENOA, SUgDAY EVENING, MARCH 18. A separate treaty will be concluded between Sardinia and the Porte, and all the diplomati• difficulties which retarded the embarkation of the Piedmontese contingent will be thus removed. The expedition, cunmanded by General La Marmora, will proceed on the 12th April. COPENHAGEN, MARCH 18. The committee of the Volksthing has presented to that assembly a bill impeaching the late Minis- try for exceeding the budget. The King is convalescent, and no more bulle tins will be issued. The Prussian Government has abandoned the intention to propose, at the Frankfort Diet, to arm the federal fortresses which guard the Ger manic territories on the side of France. The Russian flotilla of row boats at Riga was being completed by de enrolment of volunteers, and was to be ready for s6rvice by the 13th. General de Berg has returned from Helsingfors from his journey of inspection in the north of He has caused ,new batteries to be constructed on different parts of the coast, and has strengthened thoSe already existing. The battalions of Finland recently formed will shortly be completely equipped. Intelligence reached Paris during the course of yesterday afternoon that the first of the Four Points Lad been discussed on Saturday, and that the interpretation of the Westein Powers had been accepted by the Russian envoys. If this be true—and there is every reason for believing it so—Russia rolinquishes the protectorate of the Principalities. This is cer tainly a great point gained. Russia will no longer have a right to dabble in the affairs of " the eick man," and one fertile source for colourable aggression is placed for ever beyond her reach. The questions as to the Powers in whom the future protectorate shall vest is one which re- mains open for future discussion. The news of this peaceful and favourable opening of the Con ferences has of course strongly stimulated the hope of peace, and the success of the Vienna Con ference in adjusting the present unhappy differ ences is more than ever regarded as probable. THE DANUBE. Although the blockade of the mouths of the Danube by the allied squadrons has been raised, it would appear that the navigation on that river is not yet re-established. The Russian authorities will not permit any vessel, even those belonging to Austria, to descend the river. o,ne exception alone is made in favour of the vessels belong to the house of Gopiwitch, of Trieste. TURKEY. The Journal de Constantinople of the sth inst. says that Riza Pacha, the Minister of War, had given orders for the immediate freight of ten Turk ish sailing vessels, to be despatched to Eupatoria with winter clothing, and munitions and supplies of every kind. Some steamers were also engaged for the same service and the conveyance of troops. It may not be generally known that Seliin Pacha, the conunander of the Egyptians at the combat of Eupatoria, on which occasion he was killed, was the Mameluke who escaped front the massacre at Cairo, by jumping his horse over the parapet, when Mehemet Ali, in 1811, ordered the indiscriminate destruction of all the members of that celebrated body who were then assembled the town. Selig, who was au exceedingly young man at the time, seeing no other chance of escape, mounted his horse and forced hint to spring from tile lofty wall of that town into the empty space. The animal was killed by the fall, hut the rider escaped, though not with out very grave contusions. Mehemet-Ali, astonished alike at the young man's resolution and good for tune, ordered him to he spared, and in a short time he perfectly recovered. He owed his subsequent military - career to the kindness of Colonel Selves. FRANCE, The Moniteur of yesterday (Sunday) contains a despatch from Vice-Admiral Bruat, announcing that the Fulton, sent upon an expedition to Kertch, had reconnoitred Anapa and Kaffa. The Leopard, which accompanied the Fulton, dis covered a Russian column on the causeway near Kertch, by the late Kuban, and dispersed them by shot an d shell. They also made themselves ac quaintei 1 with the strength of the enemy's artillery, four 24- pounders and two iron mortars. The cold during the voyage was excessive. They landed in the nigt .t of the 23d or 24th, when the gun-boats of the Lea,pard drove back a corps of Russian infantry inarchiur upon Taura. The ships (the Fulton and LeoparCi then landed their crews, and destroyed the artillt cry posted there ; this consisted of ten 24- poundet Li, cast in 1850 and 1851, the biscuit stores were bu,: ned, and a large number of waggons and gun-can: iages were carried off or destroyed. The E inperor on Saturday witnessed the opera tion of e itablishing a camp in the Champ do Mars by some squadrons of the Gu:des of the Imperial Guard. The tents were first put up and then taken d own with great rapidity - , the object being apparer tly to see i n w h a t t i me th e operation could be effee, ;ed. Mars „tal Baraguay (1' Hilliors and General Gues- Willer, appointed to the comma: ad of the Ist and 2,1 corpy of the army of the North, will establish their he wad-quarters, the former at Boulogne, and the hitt( it at St. Omer. They left Paris on Saturday. The er oniteur publishes a letter from Jassy, an nouncin g that the electric telegraph was opened between that town and Czernowitz on the 26th of Fehr um y. Capta in Merle, aide-de-camp to the Emperor and prt ifect of the Palace, has arrived in :Paris from tht t Crimea: Genet al do Pouteves arrived at Toulon on the 15th fro ort Rome. The ( currier de Marseille, of - the 16th, says feThe Glasgow steamer, belonging to the Scotch Steam Navigation Company, which has been chartered by' the French Government fur six months, at the rate of 155,000 f. a month, has take n on board 400 tons of cannon-balls, and will also receive a battery of artillery, 270 artillery of the Imperial Guard, 4 officers, and 270 horses. The City of Man chester, belonging to a Liverpool Company, has been also taken up for six months, at the rate of 175,000 fr. a-month, and will take on board four officers and 314 artillerymen of the Imperial Guard, and 314 horses.

A telegraphic despatch. from Berlin, dated Satur day night, the 17th inst., says :-- "A Russian circular despatch has been issued to Russian representatives abroad. It states that the mission of the new Emperor is to shield the integrity of Russia, but especially to restore peace to his empiro and to the world. "The instructions to the Russian representives at Vienna have been renewed in this sense." The same despatch says : " An important political Conference will be held at Dresden during the visit of the King of Prussia to that capital. M. de Manteuffel leaves for Dresden this even ng." A letter from Frankfort, 14th, in the Indepen dance of Brussels, says : "Letters which have been just received from St. Pe tersburg give some details of the reception given by the new Emperor to the Corps Diplomatique who came to offer their compliments of condolence on the death of his father. This ceremony took place on the 7th. The Emperor advanced towards them, and in a loud and emphatic voice expressed how much he was affected by the marks of sympathy which he met with on all sides for the loss which had just fallen on Russia. He afterwards said that, on ascending the throne, he was animated by the same sentiments as the Emperor Ni cholas, his father, and the Emperor Alexander, his uncle. He added that the -views of the Emperor Ni cholas were not always well understood, and that his policy, which was one of Conservatism, had been lat terly misapprehended. 4 If,' he said, `the Holy Alliance no longer exists, I hope that the principles on which it reposed, may still prevail and serve as a bond between the different States. lam disposed, for my part, to re store peace to Europe, if honourable conditions are offered to Russia ; but if any which are not so are at tempted to be forced on her, I will rather perish than accept them.' After these words, his Majesty, succes sively addressing Couut Esterhazy and M. de Werther, the Austrian and Prussian Ministers, alluded in a very feeling manner to the name of the Emperor Nicholas having been, given for ever to the sth Regiment of Aus trian Cuirassiers, and to the affection which the King of Prussia had always evinced towards the deceased Em peror. Such is the substance of the expressions of his Ma jesty, which, you may comprehend, I cannot give you textually. The ideas of the new Emperor are the same as those which suggested the manifesto published to the na tion a few hours after the death of the Emperor Nicholas. There may be seen in the speech addressed to the Corps Diplomatique, as in the other document, a firmness not excluding moderation. These letters also contain some details of the ceremony of taking the oath of fidelity to the new Emperor, by the great bodies of the State and by the members of the imperial family, princes and prin cesses. This ceremony took place on the same day as the death of the Emperor Nicholas. Alexander 11. was in tears ; he successively embraced all the members of the Imperial family present, and particularly pressed to his heart with the deepest emotion his brother, the Grand Dake Constantine. A priest opened the ceremony by a speech, in which, in very pathetic words, he called to mind the high destiny of the illustrious deceased. Scarcely had he concluded, when the Emperor threw himself into his arms, sobbing aloud." PRUSSIA. BERLIN, March 13.—A telegraphic despatch, of the 10th inst., from St. Petersburg, announces the arrival of Prince Charles of Prussia, who was sent by our court to congratulate the new Czar on his accession to the throne. He was accompanied by the Grand Duchess Alexandrine of Mecklenburg- Schwerin. The Emperor Alexander and his bro ther, the Grand Duke Constantine, both dressed in the Prussian uniform, received their relatives on the platform of the railroad terminus. When the King of Prussia received the tele graphic news of the death of his brother-in-law he immediately sent back, as an answer, the following words from the Apocalypse, addressed to his siste r the Empress: "Blessed are 'the dead who die in the Lord." This is probably the -- st time that the telegraph has been used—in at least—to convey scraps of Scripture. Accounts from Stockholm state that a naval con scription has been ordered for the whole of the Aland Islands. Ever since these islands were ceded by Sweden to Russia the inhabitants have been ex empted from personal servitude, which, at their request, was converted hate an annual money pay ment. This hitherto unprecedented measure may therefore be considered another practical proof of the scarcity of men in the Russian army and navy. GREECE. Accounts from the Pirmus, of the 3d, via Mar seilles, announce that M. Mavrocordato has ten dered his resignation, which it is said has been ac cepted by King Otho. It is to be hoped, for the sake of Greece, that these statements, and especi ally the last, will not be confirmed. Turkish troops have been concentrated at Monastir. Austria is said to have announced that she will interfere to put down any insurrectional movement in Greece. SPAIN. MADRID, 15th.—The proposition for a mixed Senate was rejected yesterday in the Cortes by a majority of 136 to 69. A Spauish frigate, supposed to have been formerly a Russian vessel, has been captured by French steamers in the waters of Cadiz. The Opinione of Turin states that a new pro clamation of Mazzini is being circulated at Genoa. It is addressed to the Piedmontese army, and re commends it, though in obscure language, to be tray its duty. The Gazette de Chambery states that General La Marmora, on receiving the visit of the officers of the garrison stationed in that town, during a stay of a few hours which he made there on his way to Turin, stated it as is belief that the Pied montese troops would set out for the Crimea about the 10th of April. The Trieste Gazette states that on the 10th the flags on the Greek vessels in that port appeared half-mast high, as a mark of mourning on the occa sion of a funeral service being performed in the Greek church for the Emperor Nicholas. In addi tion to the Russian Vice-Consul at Trieste, a great number of Greek subjects were present. A Varna correspondent of the Oesterreichische Zeitung, writing en the 6th inst., says that Omer Paella's army at Eupatoria will eventually be 56,000 strong. Turkish troops continue to be transported thither from Varna. There are 9,000 men at Schumla. The governor of that place is now busy in routing out the numerous robber bands infesting the neighbouring country. A re serve force is to be established at Varna, and some French engineers are planning a fortified camp, which is to be constructed on the heights com manding the Devxa Lake. The Fronden Blatt learns that the Piedmontese corps is to be sent to Asia Minor, to assist in the defence of Anatolia. It will be landed at Trebi zond, and will occupy Erzeroum. The King of Sardinia will inspect the expeditionary troops at Alessandria, and afterwards go to Spezia. One thousand mules are being purchased to ho sent to the Crimea. It is said that his Majesty will accom pany the Emperor Napoleon to the Crimea. We learn from Belgrade that 250 Turkish artillerymen have left there for Rustchuk. Their ultimate destination is understood to be the Crimea. Speaking of the condition of the Russian armies in the Crimea, the Mililarisehe Zeitung says that Bakshi-Serai now resembles an enormous lazaretto. Thousands and thousands of sick and wounded soldiers are quartered in the town. The gran d highway from Perekop to Bakshi - Serai is covered with ammunition waggons on their way t o Sebas topol. The number of Russian troops in the penin sula is calculated at 170,000 wen. AUSTRALIA.
