The doors of the Exhibition will be opened at 10 o'clock and closed at 12, to prepare for the reception of their Majesties. Exhibitors and persons possessing season tickets will be admitted, by presenting their passes, at all the doors. To avoid confusion, it will be well to go early.

The lifoniteur repeats a notice which appeared some time since :—Their Majesties reserve to themselves the power of purchasing any objects in the Exhibition, and refuse to accept any gift from exhibitors. DISTRESSING ACCIDENT. —A short time since Mrs. Hawkesley, wife of the Rev. J. W. Hawkesley, rector of Redruth, was on a visit, with her daughter, to a friend in Dublin, when she was attracted to the drawing room by the cries of her elfiughter. It appeared that the young lady, who was aboutl7yheaerrs ocifoatgbee,s had became been standing in front of the fire, when ignited. The mother rushed to her help, and by that means her own clothes were enveloped in flames, and she suffered such severe injuries that she died shortly after. The daughter is also much injured, and is, as may be imagined, greatly shocked at the melancholy death of her mother. THE MOTHER OF THE LATE LIEUT. WAGHOBN.—A letter in the Times, signed " Humanitas," sa y s : " Surely, it only wants to be known to be responded to, that the mother of this distinguished and enterpri sin g officer (now in h er 84 t h year ) is at present in ex treme poverty, the little competency she had having 13,3.3ri advanced to her son, and lost in his great under taking—the overland route to India ; and, feeling per suaded that the merchants and traders to India, who have been so mu^..h benefitted by this project, s woul d willingly contribute to h er present exigencies, a sub scription has been opened a t th e Jerusalem Coffee-house, Cornhill, where the smallest contribution will be thank fully received on her behalf."

" We believe Mr. Courtenay'a experience in the treatment of stric ture during the last twenty years has equalled, if, indeed, it has not surpassed, that of any of his contemporaries. It is, therefore, no matter of em prise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a most dexterous and skilful manipu ator with urethral instruments ; and when it is remembered that the lamented Liston used to assert that the introduction of instruments through a stricture which had previously been impermeable to them, was the most difficult in the whole range of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of gratification on Mr. Courtenay's part to have achieved the reputation he has in this rev.ect ; and for our part, with the knowledge we have of his experience, we know of no man to whose care we would with greater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture of the urethra."—Medical Circu'ar.

LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 15, 1855. ARMY BEFORE SEBASTOPOL COM- MITTEE-(THIS DAY.) EXAMINATION OF LORD ABERDEEN AND CONCLUSION OF THE COMMITTEE. The committee re-assembled at the usual hour, and proceeded to examine Lord Aberdeen. Mr. Layard—Be kind enough to state to the committee when the Government first made preparations on a con viction that war with Russia was imminent.—l should think about three months before the actual declaration of war preparations were made in contemplation of that event. It had been more or less apprehended by the Cabinet for some time, but, of course, there was a difference of opinion in the Cabinet as to the probability of its occurrence. Preparations were made in January, three months previous to the declaration of war in the March following. On the 9th February a large force was sent to Malta, with a view to being forwarded to Turkey in case of a declaration of war being made. Then, previous to January the Government was under the impression that hostilities would not be proceeded with ?—On that subject there was a difference of opinion. Perhaps I was more sanguine than any other member of the Government, in the hopes of preserving peace. During the previous year, had steps been taken to ob tain information as to the state of the country or the enemy's forces, when hostilities were likely to take place 4 —Yes. Endeavours were made to procure necessary infor mation, but there were great difficulties in obtaining correct information as to the state of the Russian forces and various matters it was desirable to obtain. The most correct information the Government received was in this country, and not from the East. Then before January no actual preparations were made in the Commissariat, or other departments, in an ticipation of the war ?—I think not in actual contempla tion of the war. After the declaration of war were all the matters connected with the war and the army sent to the East submitted to the Cabinet ?—Ail matters of importance were, but not the details, which were attended to by the heads of the departthents. Were Cabinet Councils continually summoned until the breaking up of Parliament ?—Yes. It has been stated to the committee that, from nearly that time till late in the autumn, no Cabinet Council was held ?—From the prorogation of Parliament in the middle of August to the middle of October no Cabinet Councils were held. _ _ _ At that time were all the members of th 2 Cabinet present in London I—No. At the prorogation of Par liament the various members of the Cabinet dispersed themselves in different directions. The Duke of New castle remained constantly in London. I remained until the end of September, and not having left London for a year before, I went home for a week, and was one week in attendance on her Majesty. Mr. Sidney Herbert was almost constantly in London. Arid during that period the expedition sailed from Varna to the Crimea, the landing of the troops took pkee, the battle of Alma was fought, and the siege commenced ?—The order for the expedition was for warded at the end of June. _ . Did your Lordship not think it necessary during the period above referred to, to submit any questions connected with the expedition to the Cabinet ?—I think the precise nature of the meetings of the Cabinet are nut understood. I apprehend it is no part of the duty of the Government to hold these meetings at any stated time, but only according to the necessity of the public service. It is true, that during the meeting of Parliament I had the Cabinet summoned for every Saturday, but that was for the progress of legislation in Parliament and for the current business of the week, and did not render difficult the meeting of the Cabinet on other services when required. Any Minister can summon a Cabinet when he pleases, and for any object, either of that connected with his own depart ment or anything else, and it has been usual for such intention to be mentioned to the first lord, who accord- ingly summons the Cabinet. Is it your lordship's opinion that in cases of official emergency the Cabinet should be summoned I—Cer tainly ; and if there had been occasion for its meeting, arrangements. were made before separating at the end of the session fur its summoning and assembling within 48 hours. Are you not of opinion it was of more importance to have a Cabinet in case of public events occurring of great importance during the time of Parliament not sitting than when it was ?—That would depend on whether the event was of importance to require it. We then had but the same subject to discuss and the same determination to arrive at, When the army landed in the Crimea, I believe the Government was under the impression that Sebastopol would almost immediately fall by a coup de main ? That was the general opinion. It was during the above period you ascertained the army could not take it ?—Yes. Was not that of sufficient importance to cause the summoning of a Cabinet ? —I do not know that the hold ing of a Cabinet would have caused any other instruc tions being sent t•) the generals. The Minister for War was in London, and if he found himself in any difficulty, and wished the decision of the Cabinet on any question, he could have summoned one. Did not the fact you have stated, that Sebastopol was found much stronger than was anticipated, and the army would have to establish a regular siege, completely alter the complexion of the expedition ?—No. Supposing the Government had anticipated that Se bastopol would not have fallen, and there would have been a long siege, would the Government still have thought the expedition was not commenced too late in the year ?—As I have already stated, instructions directing the expedition were forwarded at the end of June, and there was no reason to have supposed it would have been carried into execution earlier than it was. At the time when the expedition sailed there was suffi cient time— The beginning of September ?—They did not think it tno late for the expedition to be undertaken. The gene-4 rals had discretion not to undertake it at an unseasonable time. To what did the Government attribute their belief that Sebastopol would have been taken earlier ?—To a great many causes. On account of any want of preparations on our part I —Certainly not. I believe, however, there was some in sufficiency of boats—some delay on that account. That was not the principal cause of the delay. By Lord Seymour—Were any proposals made by Lord John Russel! to the Government for the consolidation of the office at an early period of last year ?—No ; I had conversations with him on the subject, but I thought it was also Lord John Russell's opinion that it was not then a fit time to carry any alterations into effect, on the grounds that there would be a risk of under taking them in a time of war, of its leading to inconve nience in the management of the offices, and produce effects injurious to the public service. His lordship then adverted to the correspondence be tween him and Lord John Russell about the end of November, recommending the consolidation of the offices, at the end of which Lord John Russell stated that be had come to the conclusion it was not desirable to carry it into effect. By Lord Seymour—Lord 'John Russell, I believe, ob jected to the retention of the office of Secr etar y for War by the Duke of Newcastle I—Yes, he did. The first in timation I had that Lord John Russell differed from the Cabinet, and which much surprised me, was when he wrote me after Mr. Roebuck had given notice of his motion. In answer to other questions from various members o the committee, his lordship said that, previous to the corresspondence above alluded to, Lord John Russell offered no objections to the Government. The propo sitions made by Lord John Russell were not submitted to the Cabinet. The correspondence ends with a declara tion, on the part of Lord J. Russell, that he should sub mit the subject to the consideration of the Cabinet, as I did not concur with him, but he never did it ; he changed his mind, and never mentioned it. By Lord Seymour --Then, both with regard to 'Elie Duke of Newcastle and the consolidation of the offices, you were under the impression that Lord J. Russell had altered his original opinion ?—Yes. As to the consoli dation of the offices, all the members of the Government thought it desirable, but it was a question of time when it should take place. By Mr. Layard—Did her Majesty's Government ob tain as much information as it was possible under the circumstances of the enemy's strength at the time of undertaking the expedition to the Crimea ? They obtained different information, leading them to different conclusions, and were unable to ascertain what amount of credit to give to it. On the whole, the most correct information they obtained was from a gen tleman in this country who had recently been in the Crimea. It turned out to be partly correct as to the amount of the forces of the enemy and the state of the country. In your lordship's opinion as much information was obtained as was necessary to authorise the expedition to the Crimea ?—lt was sent to the military authorities. The information stated the enemy's force to be about 70,000 men in the Crimea, about 30,000 or 40,000 being in Sebastopol. - Was the condition of the army in the Crimea after August brought to the notice of the Cabinet ?—Yes ; very late. I believe they were aware of a great deal of the distress existing before they received official information from the public papers and private sources. Should not the Cabinet have been furnished with that information ?—Certainly. To whom do you attribute the neglect of not furnish ing the Cabinet with that early information ?—To the parties on the spot, whose duty it was to complain of anything amiss. About what periOd were you officially informed of the state of things in the Eau ?—lt was very gradual. At first not receiving information it was more or less_dis credited, but it became confirmed by degrees. I was in ignorance of the real state of the army longer than I • ought to have been. _ Ins lordship, in continuation, said, that having ap ' pointed the various heads of departments, he considered himself responsible for the manner in which they dis charged their duties. When he took office, he found Lord Raglan Master General of the Ordnance, and on his being appointed to the command of the army in the East, it was thought the removal of the office of Lieutenant- General would prevent any inconvenience arising to the service. The duties of the office were, of course, much greater in times of war than in peace. It had been in contemplation before the breaking out of the war to abolish the office of Master-General of the Ord nance. Lord John Russell made no specific complaint with reference to the different departments to war rant any interference. If the Duke of Newcastle had raid to me at the end of August that he could not go on with the Ordnance depaAment as it then existed, I should have considered the necessity of a change. The Duke of Newcastle gave orders to the committee without taking the responsibility. The transfer of the Commissariat depart ment from the Treasury to the War department took place contrary to my opinion, end thelate Duke of Welling ton thought it should not be taken from the Treasury. It was not necessary, though desirable, that the Secretary at War should be a Cabinet Minister. On the present occasion it was very desirable, and that the officer be kept as a means of controlling the expenditure of thearmy. I have no recollection of the details given as to the state of Sebastopol and the Crimea. His lordship's evidence being concluded, the room was cleared ; and after about half an hour's deliberation, the committee announced the evidence closed. lON E MA ItKET C 0 1 1 ITER CIA L INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday closed very firmly, and with a hardening tendency. The sales were estimated at 20,000 bales, (2,000 of which, were taken for export, and 9,000 on specu lation), comprising 400 Pernam and Maranham, at 51d. to 6 3 4 1 ; 600 Bahia, at bid. to 6id. ; 1,200 Egyptian, 6d. to Bd. ; 2,500 Surat, at 31d. to sd. ; and 220 Sea Islands, at 10d. to Is. 11d, per lb. The Railway Share Market was very buoyant, and prices advanced to per cent. How the war with Russia can ever be brought to a conclusion while we feed our armies with our gold is a problem which Statesmen may be able to solve, but which men of business are certainly not in a position to work out. The alleged inconveni ence to our population of a cessation of the supply of tallow or hemp from Russia can be as nothing contrasted with the loss of life and property by a pro longation of the war, nor is it a hard task to demon strate that we could procure supplies of the articles just named, both from our own colonies and South America, and that substitutes could also be found in part aid. The question of allowing Russian produce to be admitted here since its prohibition would effect all that is desired in preventing the transport through Prussia is again to be venti lated in the House of Lords ; but, we apprehend that with the present indisposition to grapple with what at a distance appears much wore difficult than it really is, the same fate will attend the motion - to be made as has resulted in similar cases previously. This forms no ground, however, for neglecting the discussion of the matter out of Par liament, and facts may acceptably be produced whenever forthcoming. The treaty of commerce between Holland and Belgium has been duly signed, and the ratifications have been exchanged. In the English Stock Market the business done has been of very limited extent, but the quotations are firm. The large majority for Ministers has un doubtedly some effect, the opinion being pretty general that Lord Ellenborough's discretion is not sufficient to make his advent to office at all desir able. There have been transactions in Consols at 88',-; to 89i for transfer, and 89 to i for account. The New 3 per Cents. have been 88} to 4 1 , and the Reduced 87'i to 88k. Bulk Stock is flat at 208 to 2091. Exchequer Bills are ss. to Bs., and India Bonds 18s. to 20s. premium. The Omnium is i premium. In the Foreign Market there has been an ex tensive business done in Turkish Bonds at an ad vance to 75i and 76k upon a rumour that a new loan of 2,000,0001. is to be brought out, guaran teed by the Allied Governments, and that the ex isting Bonds will in some way be specially bene fitted by the new arrangement. Peruvian Stock is at 67k. Spanish Bonds are nominal. Dutch 2i per Cents. have been 63k. The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds 6i to 7 ; Mexi can, 201 to 21 ; Peruvian, 67 to 69 ; ditto Three per Cents., 47 to 49 ; Portuguese Four per Cents., 41 to 43 ; Russian Five per, Cents., 98 to 100 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 87 to 89 ; Spanish New Deferred, 18i to 183. ; Ditto 3 per Cents., 36 to 37k; Ditto Certificates, 4 to 4k ; Ditto Passive, 3/ to 4. This is " ticket day" in the Railway Market, and the chief attention being absorbed in arrange ments for the settlement, the dealings arc extremely circuinscribed. The quotations, however, are generally higher. There is scarcely anything doing in the Foreign or Colonial lines. Mines are dull also ; the Joint Stock Banks, and Crystal Palace are rather better ; and in the Mis cellaneous there is no particular change. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY.-CLOSING PRICES.

The trade of the port of London during the past week has shown increased activity owing to numerous arrivals, consequent on the change of wind. The total number of ships reported inward was 259, being an increase of 51. over the previous week. Among these are several from China, and also a large number laden with colonial sugar. The departures have continued to diminish for some time, and the total cleared o u t war d i n the week just ended was 117, showing 14 less than in the previous week. The departures from the port of London for the Aus tralian colonies during the past week comprised four vessels—three to Portland Bay, with an aggregate bur den of- 2,722 tons ; and one to Sydney, of 622 tons. Their total capacity was 3,344 tons. The rates of freight exhibit little alteration. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'a-MONDAY. 111-omened reports respecting St. Hubert caused a strong demonstration to be made against him in the course of the morning in the city ; and on mustering at " The Corner," the feeling of hostility was so much increased by the operations of certain eager layers that, after 500 to 20 had been booked three or four times, 30 to 1 went a-begging, and yet to reliable information was to be obtained as to the circumstances of the case. Wild Dayrell was in very great force ; at 6 to 1, 11 to 2, and 5 to 1, many hundreds were invested on him, and he was, unquestionably, th e l ea di ng f avour i te at the close. Lord of the Isles was backed at 13 to 2 and 6to 1, De Clare at 6 and 7 to 1, and Rifleman at 6 to 1, but the support which they respectively received was not marked by any particular feature. 12 to 1 was taken to various sums about the Flatterer, and 14 to 1 to some hundreds about Kingstown. 20 and 25 to 1 were laid against Dirk Hatteraick. Bonnie Morn and Grmculus Esuriens were at 50 to 1 each, taken and offered. Oul ston at one time advanced from 1,000 to 30 to 25 to 1, but the current price at the finish was 30 to 1. 2,000 to 60 and 750 to 25 were taken about Rylstone.

THE NATIONALITY OF POLAND AND HUNGARY. ( Front the Morning Post.) PARTS, Sunday.—l c must be pretty evident to the Govern ments of France and England that the almost hostile attitude of Austria and Prussia will impose on the allies a new policy. They must turn to the map of Europe and choose new friends to combat new enemies. Our main object is to erect a per manent barrier against Russian aggression, and thus prevent, it possible, the recurrence of war with which an ambitious Czar may think proper to disturb the peace of Europe. Po land at once presents the most promising ground for resisting the advance of Russia. France and England only allowed the final division of that kingdom, because they were not pre pared to go to war. Austria and Prussia having profited by the spoils, of course could not be expected to com bat Russian ambition in that quarter, or to seek to prevent the occupation of Warsaw in September, 1831. Since this period both cou n t r i e s have received the' exiled Poles, and continued to express the utmost sympathy in their cause. But no political event, or great war, offered opportunity for carrying that sympathy beyond offering the means of subsistence during exile. It was not the object of the Governments of France and England, wlign they com menced war with Russia, to engage the whole of Europe in the struggle ; hence they sought a German alliance, hoping that such a demonstration would convince the Government of St. Petersburg that Europe would impose certain limits to the ambition of the great Northern Power. In both instances they have failed—the Austrian alliance has dwindled down ' to the ugly proportions of an armed neutrality, and Russia is more insolent and uncompromising now than when first her armies were beaten out of the Principalities, and when her fleets first skulked behind the stone walls of Cronstadt and Sebastopol. It is by arms, then, alone that we can hope for an Euro pean peace ; and England and France left with all the respon sibility of the great war, will probably be compelled to address the nationality of ,Poland, and even Hungary. Hitherto Austria alone has gained by our struggle, and yet she will not assist us. The Sovereigns of Germany are acting in direct opposition to the will and wish of the people. Austria has played us false; and, therefore, we can have no hesitation, if pushed to the extreme, in revenging her duplicity. There are evident signs here, in Paris, of coming events ; and if Austria does not come forward and fulfil her treaty engagements, Francis Joseph may live to repent his hesi tation. As far as the King of Prussia is concerned, he is nothing more than a sort of Lord-Lieutenant of Russia, living at Berlin. He may govern Prussia, but he is no longer the King of the people. France and England have ample material for revising the map of Europe, and they aro probably bent on using the means in their hands. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. A steamer will leave Woolwich and Sheerness on or about the 20th of this month for the Baltic fleet, and another steamer at the end of the month, by which parcels will be conveyed for the fleet, and they will also carry mails. The following general order has been issued from the Horse Guards respecting the distribution of medals for service in the Crimea:—" Upon the occasion of her Majesty presenting medals to a portion of the officers and soldiers entitled to them for service in the Crimea, as it will not be possible to give no tice to every officer who may be on leave of absence, the General Commanding-in-Chief requests that those officers so situated, who may be entitled to pedals, and who may wish to witness the ceremony, will make application to that effect to the Adjutant-General. Those officers who, from wounds or illness, may be prevented from attending are requested to send their addresses to the Ad- jutant•General, in order that their medals may be forwarded to them without delay. All officers are to appear iu reiisw order, and except those on duty with the:troops, are to be dismounted. Officers of the army, marines, militia, yeomanry, &c., who may attend the parade on the 18th inst., in uniform, are to be admitted between the double rows of sentries." The Surly, Growler, Flamer, Hardy, Havoc, and Firm are the names of the mortar vessels towed to Spithead on Sunday by the Odin and Rosamond, and the difficulties and dangers experienced in getting them along, we believe, have prompted Captain Willcox to recommend that their mortars be sent out to the scene of the future operations in more trustworthy bot toms ; another report is, as it will be dangerous to trust them on so long a voyage as that to Sebastopol, they will be pressed for service in the Baltic I They were inspected yes ter lay by Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, Commander in-Chief of Portsmouth, and are attracting much gene ral attention in the port, being all newly-arranged vessels upon the plan so successfully projected by Captain Julius Roberts, R.M.A. The Clinker and Jasper steam gun-boats adjusted their compasses in Portsmouth harbour yesterday, and are ready to join the flotilla at Spithead to-day. According to present arrangements, about 9,000 troops will occupy the ground at the opening of the camp at Aldershott ; and it is stated that her Majesty, Prince Albert, the Duke of Cambridge, Lord Hardinge, and the Earl of Cardigan will be present on the occasion. It is un derstood that the following regiments of •cavalry, infantry, and militia wi'l be the first troops to occupy the ground ; these will be relieved occasionally, until the whole force quartered in England has received a month's instruction in field evolutions—viz., 2d Regiment of Life Guards, from Hyde Park Barracks; 6th Dragoon Guards, Carbi neers, from Hounslow (this regiment will be relieved by the 7th Hussars, from York, and will remain in camp until ready to embark for the seat of war); detachments from the cavalry depots at Maidstone and Brighton, consisting of men be longing to the 9th Lancers, 10th Hussars 12th Lancers, 13th Light Dragoons, 14th ditto, and 17th Lancers. The in fantry will consist of detachments of the let and 2d battalions of the Grenadier Guards, 2d battalion of the Coldstream Guards, and 2d battalion of the Scots Fusilier Guards ; 51st (King's) Light Infantry, from Manchester ; 80th Foot, from Portsmouth ; two companies of the 94th ditto, from. Windsor ;. the newly-raised 3d battalion of the Rifle Brigade, from Portsmouth; and detachments from the provisional battalions and depot companies at Park hurst, Winchester, and Chatham. Militia Regiments— Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, E ssex R ifles, West Kent, Ist or East Middlesex, 2d ditto Westminder, and sth ditto Elthorne Regiment, Tower Hamlets King's Own Light Infantry, and Tower Hamlets Queen's Own Light Infantry, and Ist, 2d, and 3d Regiments of Surrey Militia. These will give in round numbers, 1,100 cavalry, 2,500 Guards and infantry of the line, and about 4,800 mili tia, which, 'added to 500 artillery and 150 Sappers and Miners, will constitute a force exceeding 9,000 men. It is intended to concentrate the Foreign Legion enlisted in British America at Shorncliffe, where also a large number of Swiss volunteers will be encamped.

The Czos (a Polish paper published in Cracow) gives the following aecount as the result of its special inquiries : "Carriers (probablydrivers of arabas) who were return ing from the Crimea through Podolia, narrated in the neighbourhood of Mohilew that the French, although they were fighting with the Russian troops, were by no means ill-disposed to the Russian people, and wanted to do away with all forced labour (villain aocage). On this a deacon (a Pope not yet in full orders), in the village of Moguslau, near Mohilew, having observed how little effect the appeal of the Russian Synod in St. Petersburg hast tad_ in rousing, this_people in 'the provinces of Yolhynia, PerdOlia, and (fdrmetly Polish) to take up arms for its faith and its co-reli gionists in Turkey, made the peasants believe that the Synod had, in fact, addressed another appeal to the people, in which the abrogation of the corvee was proclaimed, and the fee-simple of the lands conferred on the peasants who cultivated them. He assured them that the great men who stood nearest the Emperor had caused this address to be suppressed, but that he .bad a copy of it. This document, of his own concoction, he read to the peasants that were already excited by the French news from the Crimea. They proceeded at once to their Pope, and demanded to have the genuine address of the Synod published, and were of course informed there was no other than the one already made known. In a number of villages the excited peasantry began to maltreat their Popes, and assembled together tumultuously, armed with scythes and pitchforks ; but in no case were any threatening demonstrations made against the land proprietors, the lords of the manors. 'With the assistance of military, acting energetically up to tl'e very sharp orders they had, the dlsturbAnce was quieted-40 of the rioters lost their lives, and about 200 of the more prominent were taken priseners and sent to Siberia—the less prominent got off with a plentiful dose of knout. The villages in question remain occupied by soldiery, and the whole state of feeling in Lesser Rus,ia is described as sultry and threatening." The 1 3 )eussische Correspondenz favours in with the following statement, which flavours strongly of official inspiration : " The disturbance was confined to the estates of the Pu liih Count Branicki, and some of the neighbouring domains, and is principally traceable to the hatred of the peasants to some of the lords of the manors. The peoplehad misunder stood the recent manifesto of the Emperor; they rose en masse for the purpose of entering the ranks of the Militia, declaring they would rather serve the Emperor as soldiers than continue to serve their lords. The movement caused the greatest apprehension among the landed proprietors of those parts, whose religion, language, and race differ from those of the people. As no conciliatory and pacific means availed to bring back the misguided people to their work, military force was obliged to be called in, if a repeti tion of scenes that took place not so long back in Galicia was to be prevented. This proves that they are perfectly in error who, i❑ the above-mentioned disturbances, re cognise a Polish rising against Russian dominion." The Oesterreichische Zeitung has another version, different from any as yet given, viz., that a large number of the noble proprietors of land, to in demnify themselves for the sacrifices thrust upon them by the Government under the name of war taxes and " voluntary contributions," had laid un usually heavy burdens on their serfs, and required of them excessive services ; in consequence of this oppression, the otherwise inexhaustible patience of the latter had failed them. The appeal of the Government to the people to co-operate in the de fence of the country, and to flock to the support of their standard and the cross, afforded them a welcome opportunity of escaping from their oppres sore ; to this was added a very sensible dearth of salt, which raised their excitement to the highest. The peasantry left their villages, and repaired in troops to the towns, where they demanded to be admitted into the militia, in order that they "serve the Czar and get salt to eat." Under the twofold pretence of love to their country and to salt they strove to free themselves from their feudal shackles, but the authorities refused to enrol a nybody that did not produce a written permission to that effect from his lord ; all those unprovided with such a document were sent back to their homes under military escort and admonished. This version, however, concludes like the first— " In spite of every trouble and precaution the au thorit;es have not succeeded in quieting the ex citement in the Ukraine." THE FOREIGN LEGION. HELIGOLAND, May B.—For the present the Gar man Brigade of the Foreign Legion will consist of 5,000 men, who will be commanded by - Colonel von Stutterheim, a nobleman of Brunswick, and an officer of proved courage, talents, and experience. A later from Hambu rg , d a t e d May 9, in the Patric, professing to speak on good authority, says the island of Heligoland has been definitively chosen by the English Government as a recruiting depot for the Foreign Legion. Several Englieh officers, among whom is a paymster, have arrived there. 'Recruiting was expected to begin on May 15. Great advantages are offered to recruits—a bounty of 61., a good pension to invalids, and the same rights and privileges as the English soldier. At the expiration of their term of service the men who may desire it will be transported gratuitously either to their own country or to America, and will receive a gratuity of a year's pay. CONTINUED ERUPTION OF VESUVIUS. A letter from Naples, dated May 5, says : " Viewed from a distance, the fiery mountain presents somewhat the same appearance as on the occasion of former eruptions—that is, volumes of smoke ever vary ing ,in form and , tint, issue from the mountain, and darken the bright sky above. Occasionally huge red-hot stones are thrown up, and at night a red glare tints the huge volume of smoke, producing a grand effect. But on the present occasion the lava streams from the ex hausted and hitherto long -tranquil Somma, which is the detached portion, almost co-equal in height with the ex cular old cone, from whence all the modern eruptions have issued: 4‘ The King and the Royal Family have visited the eruption, and hundreds of persons ascend the mountain night and day. There appear to be two or three streams of lava slowly creeping on from apertures which vomit fire and smoke continually—ever changing in aspect, according to the violence of the erubterraneous action. But it is the capricious forms which the smoke assumes that most amuses the spectator, whilst lighted up by the reflected red of the fire. " The eruption will, in all probability, last some days, until, as on former occasions, the accumulated volcanic action of the mountain has exhausted itself." ATTEMPTED REVOLUTION AT -SAINT DOMINGO. 6t the ---c- --- We learned by the last West Indian mail tha, English commodore had left Jama ica for St. DOllllllO th on account of tbe un settled state of thing?, e re.

The place was originally built for carpenters' workshops, and was four floors high, being built of timber, covered with heavy sheets of slate, the support of the roof being long horizontal girders, braced together. The uprights, it appeared, were too weak for the weight of metal required in such premises as are used in the engineering trade, or as a foundry, althoagh sufficiently strong for the purposes for which they were originally intended. The bUilding which has fallen was, n probably, 90 feet long and nearly 70 feet high ; the lower floor being used as the drilling and casting houses, the drying shops were on the aext floor, over which were the carpenters' shops, and on the floor above were deposited all kinds of iron work, the whole being of great weight. Shortly after 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the various workmen, numbering upwards of 100, had returned irons dinner, and had taken their respective places at their lathes, ' drums, and benches, when, of a sudden, some person s , who were in the top part, had their attention directed to one of the sides rocking to and fro. They raised an imme diate alarm, and at once made an attempt to gain the street. Others in the lower floor, also seeing the building move, made an attempt to leave, and fortunately several were suc cessful, but before the whole number could get out, the roof fell in, and in an instant afterwards the top floor fell, and the. lower floors, being pressed by the additional weight thrown upon them, also dropped to the ground. As soon as the dust had in some measure cleared away, the exact amount of the injury and the cause became apparent; and the cries which proceeded from the ruins proved. that several, persons were imbedded. Messengers were, despatched to the Stones-end Police-sta. Lion 3fo for the aid of a strong muster of polite and Inspector* theh.nscene, and found men almost in - a state of frenzy, , rushing about, and begging the officers to allow them to assist.i re scuing the less fortunate workmen who were under the ruins. The request was, of course, readily granted, and the police assisted the men in digging , the poor fellows out. The neighbours also showed every wi willingness in assist ing in getting the, rubbish away, and, after some time two , men were got out by Mr. Day, of the Eight Bells Tavern m Cross-street, Blackfriars-road, who cab removed , and they were driven off t o St. Thomas's The state of the omas, thems Hospital. in a c premises having been made known to the authorities of the hospital, and the great number of persons who were buried alive in the ruins, the following medical gen tlemen connected with the institution proceeded to the scene in order to render immediate assistance as the men were got out :—Messrs. Penberthe, Wootton, Fowler, Hodges, Elwin, Gratham, Warwick, Crofts, and Carpenter. These gentlemen attended the sufferers as they were extricated, while Mr. Le Gros Clark and Mr. Croft, the chief surgeons in attendance, waited at the hospital to attend to their injuries. Several persons ware, by, dint. 4 great exertion, removed from the rubbish ; and they were found to be very badly cue and injured by the fall of timber and ironwork; two were taken to the surgery of Mr. Odling in high-street, Borough, and Mr. Charles Smith, his assistant, strapped up their wounds. One man bad received a contused wound at the back of the head and the other had his leg severely cut. Tackling having been obtained, and the assistance of some 200 men, the stones, after about two hours, were raised, and a man liberated. He was taken to St. Thomas's Hospital, but he is in a very dangerous condition. Another man, named Joseph Giles, was also extricated after much time and trouble, with his skull fearfully fractured. A man named James Holden was next brought from the rules, and was taken by the police to St. Thomas's Hospital, Chas. Pryer was likewise got out, with his leg fractured by a mill stone falling on it, and he was also removed to the same institution. Another man, whose name could. not be ascer tained, owing to his being perfectly insensible, was removed to the hospital, but not the least hopes can be entertained of his recovery. A man named John Regan was extricated from the broken timber and forthwith removed to Guy's Hospital. During the time lost in searching the ruins one part of the premises was in such a dangerous condition that if was feared it would topple over and kill those engaged iilencle:VOurini to save life ; but Mr. Coxhead, the builder, who had been engaged on the premises, procured a number of ropes, and so tied it as to allay all fears of any further extension of mischief. Up to 9 o'clock last night it was found iupracticable to turn over the whole of the ruins on account of the great weight of timber, iron, and millstones lying there, and it will be impossible to tell at present with certainty whether any other workman may not be under the ruins and crushed to death. The total number of sufferers taken to St. Thomas's Hos pital was 17, twelve of whom had .their wounds dressed and were able to be removed home, but the other five remain in a very dangerous state, as does also Johu Regan, who is still in Guy's Hospital. f .I.RKET NE RCS-(T.111.9 DAY.)
