Another mighty example has been afforded of the iestability of human power, the vanity of human aspirations. The AUTOCRAT is no more. The man who, in the plenitude of power, aspired even to universal dominion, who refused to ac knowledge any law but his own indomitable will, has been added to the hecatombs of victims im molated on the shrine of his ambition and cupi dity. The universal destroyer has struck a high quarry. Within eight-and-forty hours NICHOLAS was regarded almost as a demigod, as something elevated beyond the ordinary sphere of mortality. What is he now ? A senseless clod ! Impotent and helpless, less than even the most humble of the myriads whose lives hung on his very nod ! Well may we exclaim— -- Mors soles fatetur, Quantulasint hominura coipuscula." _ _ It is by means of the general leveller alone that we can conceive the inanity of ambition, the ab surdity of pride. Of the manner of his death we as yet know but little. It is said to have been occasioned by an attack of pulmonary apoplexy. That it was sud den and unexpected is certain. Scarcely was there a whisper of indisposition before the announce ment of death followed. Considering the well known fate of his father, and the strongly-sus pected foul play by which his eldest brother was cut off in the prime of life, it is difficult to account for the rapid termination of the career of the late AUTOCRAT. It may be that the conflict of hisown passions, remorse for the mischief he had occasioned, unwillingness to en hance the evils which he had brought on those whose destinies were committed to his charge, or to make the required submission by which he would surrender the aim and object of his entire life, produced the catastrophe. " The Wizard of the North " has given a striking instance of the effect of such varied emotions in the death of the Templar Bryan De Bois (htilbert, and such might lave been the end of him who, on Thursday, was still the mightiest Monarch of this world. It may be that a darker history is attached to the transaction, and that NICHOLAS, having become too powerful and aiming at the unattainable, was got r;il of by those who saw iu his removal the only means of achieving the safety of Russia. It is one of the fearful results of despotism that it .renders such crimes—we shall not say common or justifiable, for nothing can make them so—but that it furnishes a spurious apology for the assas sins. I Ve earnestly hope that such a termination may not have occurred in the present instance, although we could not feel greatly astonished if it had been so. It is not cur habit nor our desire to exult over a fallen enemy. Great as were the faults of of the Naturally li s e ys p te o m s. noir°Lis they were those rather than of the man. sessed many h i g h and princely qualities, and had it not been for the temptation to W hi ch he was exposed, and to which he yielded, i ntoxi _ cated as he was by the possession of absolute au thority, he might have occupied a very different position in the world's history from that which will henceforward be assigned to him. But it is the nature of despotism to be insatiable, and he had not sufficient strength of mind to sacrifice the ambition of the AUTOCRAT to the sense of honour and integrity of the man. He was also a fanatic. He believed that he had a mission to accomplish— that it was reserved for him to advance the " Orthodox f tab," of which he was the spiritual head, and to overthrow not merely " the Crescent," but all the forms of dissent from the Greek Church, which he alone recognised. His was a crusade not merely against Mahomedanism, as he vainly endeavoured to 'impress upon Europe— but also against the Latin and the Anglican Churches, each of which he would have absorbed in turn, whenever a favourable opportunity could have been adopted. It is difficult to judge such a man correctly, to estimate accurately the motives by which ho was influenced. In a private station ho might have been a great, nay, more, a good man. He had many virtues—was temperate, brave, and in dustrious. No labour was too great, no hard ship too onerous to encounter. And yet, with all these high qualities, combined with many physical advantages, through the unconscientious pursuit of a phantasm, he forfeited the prestige attached to his name, which will now serve to point a moral—teaching a lesson to future monarchs as to how they venture to disregard the laws of justice and honour. In the early part of his career success crowned all his efforts. No opposition was offered to his will. Possit, quia posse videtar. He could do any thing, because it was supposed that all things were within his power. There was no resistance to his will. A remonstrance, er at most a protest, was all he had to fear. Still he moved warily, and with circumspection, and it was not until, in an evil hour, he saw his " friend of forty years' standing " at the head of the English Go vernment that he ventured to carry his long treasured projects into operation. From that moment all was changed. An avenging NEMEsIs attended his footsteps. Defeat and disappointment met him on every side. His veteran troops were defeated by inferior numbers--his boasted fleets were kept skulking within their harbours. Holy Russia was invaded—his stronghold beleaguered, and even his capital menaced. He had to swal low a very bitter leek in consenting to treat on terms that he once contemptuously rejected. These matters told on his constitution, and, as we have stated, he probably died from the violence of. his own passions, adding to the myriads of victims who perished on his account ! A momentous question now arises as to the successor. Should his eldest son, ALEXANDER, ascend the throne, it is probable that we may cbtain a just and honourable peace. Should his paramount claims be set aside—should the ambi tious CONSTANTINE assume the purple—we must be prepared for even a more desperate struggle than if NICHOLAS had survived, Under any circum stances, there is but one course open for France and England. They must cast aside the scabbard until they obtain ample material guarantees against any future aggression. Sebastopol must be surrendered and dismantled—the Rus sian fleet in the Euxiue reduced within reason able limits, so as to occasion no alarm to any of the neighbouring States. There are many other matters to be regarded, but these, at least, ate indispensable, which must be looked to in any aspect of affairs. It is a great event for good or for evil. It is incumbent on those in authority not to neglect or misapply the golden opportunity. The country must bestir itself. Two months hence it will be too late. All was lost last year because the winter, and, we may add, the spring also, were thrown away. Negotiations at Vienna, and fleets politely waiting outside the Black Sea, sacrificed precious days, weeks, and months now atoned for in the Crimea. We must not allow our Ministers to play that game again. Whether we distrust Whiggism or not, its efficiency will de pend ou us—the People. Government is but the machinery, we are the steam ; events have raised popular opinion and feeling to high pressure, and it needs but a few leading mon to turn that pres sure upon the inertness of office. Let the coun try but speak its mind everywhere and resolutely, let it but show what would be the results of a dissolution, and we shall have our work done. QUEEN and PRINCE CONSORT too, and Lords and Commons will join to do it. The English people are, after all, far more powerful than the Coburgs, the aristocrats, and the Peelites together ; let them but put forth their power, and courts and their cousins will shake in their closets, and will not dare to transform the Ministers of England into the Ministers of petty German Princes. The country has, indeed, forced an anti-national clique from office, and the philo-Russians (in cluding one literally half-caste Russian) have been sent to rusticate, but philo-Austrians still are powerful in the Cabinet ; the only man in the House of Commons fit for the active duties of the War-office is turned adrift because of his adapta tion to it, and a mere red-tape arithmetician sub stituted for him ; and worse than all the states man (?) who-would leave Russia every inch of her stolen territories is sent to Vienna to offer this splendid condition to Prince G ORTSCHAKOFF, and to assure him that, let Russia hold out as long as she may, she will at the worst but lose a few more of those serfs for whose lives she cares not a straw. Five years of armistice would put all that right, and make the Baltic, Poland, and the Black Sea more formid able than ever to the liberties of Europe. It is at our peril, therefore, to drop the reins which we have grasped. The very quality of Lord PALMER STON'S colleagues and subordinates shows, either that he is not master of his position or that he does not comprehend it ; in either case the people must be awake. They must strengthen him, or instruct and command him, as the case may be. The point for the people to insist on now, is a Polish Alliance. We call it an alliance to place the matter in its true light. Alliances are the hoax of our diplomatists ; long hopeless months, months of pestilence and bloodshed to our troops, they have wasted in seeking Austrian and even Prussian alliances. They have laboured to change friends of Russia and spoliation, into friends of justice and enemies to robbery ; they call it splendid work when Prussia remains the avowed friend of Russia, and Austria has not :l3 yet been persuaded to fire a single shot. This precious alliance is the boast of both the old Cabinet and the new ! Now, fellow-countrymen, will you tolerate this miserable juggle longer ? Will you not tell these precious diplomatists—" Gentlemen, you have tried your hand, now let us try ours. We demand the Polish alliance. You will look aghast—there is no Polish Monarch, no Polish Court, no costly ambassador to it, no Royal cousins, half German, half Russianised ; Poland, good sirs, has no diplomatic status." 'We have. only to reply to diplomati.ts, " Gentlemen, this is no time for your miserable formal cant. Fifty thousand of our soldiers, and fifty millions of our money gone, through your vile formalism, has determined us to change shadow for reality, and cajollery for plain dealing. Poland is a nation ; its alliance we will have. Do you ask its limits, we reply, test them. As far eastward of Prussia as Poles would join with you against Russia —that is the Poland we mean. Let the CZAR keep any provinces he has governed so paternally that they prefer Russia for a fatherland ; all else that speak the Polish language, that would gladly swell the ranks of our armies, that would rejoice to form parts of a Polish Commonwealth, under any native Government, is Poland, not Rusiia. That is the country whose alliance we demand, to whom we would p ro ff er t h e most amp l e h e l p, an d on whose s h ores we would land a hundred thousand Frenchmen." This alliance we demand as the k e ystone of our policy, the one condition of a successful cam paign, the equally indispensabl ey,, condition of a s ecure peace, and the only "material guarant ee " on which we can rely , ridiculed sympathy with „au Deeply cheri s hi ng our suppressed nation alities," and disgusted with any Engllshman wia now. Tire as wan ts it, something m ore ur g ent presses ° Tiree need the Poles. We need them quit much as they do us. Our second splendid fle,t is collecting at Slithead amidst the second eulogies of the Times. Well, it may THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 3, 1855, do something at Helsingfors and Sweaborg ; it is within the range of possibility that it may hammer away at Cronstad b. But we say bombard Russia in Poland. Let our ships cover a disembarkation on the Baltic shores contiguous to Poland ; let a camp and base of operations be formed on a coast hardly more days' sail from England than it takes of weeks to rear:h the Crimea. 1 here we shall And not a listless and effete Tartar population, but a nation of fettered heroes. Men who, twenty years ago, met Russian sabres with their scythes, and were conquered only through sheer want of every military equipment witk which we could abundantly supply them. There our soldiers would bo side by side with the countrymen of SOBIESKI and Kosciusco, with whom as comrades every officer and private would be proud to fight. There we should contend with our enemy no longer in the dark, but apprised of his every movement, warned when and where to be on our guard, when and where to attack, by the übi quitous espionage of a people enthusiastic in our cause, or rather in their own. There we should paralyse every Russian regiment into which a Pole had been forced, by the fear of his desertion in the very moment most dangerous to them and most advantageous to us. There we should have no evil Greeks to betray us to the enemy, and to burn our depots. There, in a word, we should have every facility which we now want, and the enemy lose every advantage which he now enjoys. Public meetings have already been held for the instruction of the Whig Cabinet. We trust that every town and county will meet ; and at every meeting there ought to be one demand at least— in the name - of the dead and dying abroad—in the name of the mourning and anxious at home— a solemn demand that Austria be left to take her course, but that a Polish Alliance be sought at once. Surely every patriot will be indignant at the cruel wrong perpetrated on the Times. It is at no small inconvenience, and perhaps loss, to the Post-office, that it proposes carrying a quarter of a pound for a penny. Under that arrangement the country walking posts will have to buy don keys, the town pedestrians to hire a cab, and the peculiar single-horse vehicles distinguished by a V. R. and a crown to be transformed into a chaise-and-pair. The London bookseller will sup plant the country tradesman ; every lady will remit her postage stamps or post-office order for the last new novel, and get it cheaper and earlier than through her neighbour of the market town. Innumerable metropolitan firms will be offering to supply the wintry through the post with almost every work that comes out ; and the post office will literally groan under its new parcels delivery business. This dire infliction on Mr. ROWLAND HILL'S squadron is, however, nothing to the shameless injustice inflicted on our contemporary. Hitherto it has sent well towards half a pound—not less than six ounces—for one penny ! It has been able to favour the whole kingdom with six ounces of costly advertisements and news for only one penny. That privilege it is now proposed to abrogate at the end of ten short years ! Why this gross injustice ? Merely to please a set of free - traders. That impracticable school will theorise and generalise ; they will have but one law for all printed matter sent by post. Hence their dilemma. If six ounces were allowed for all, the Post-office never could transact its business. Since four ounces threatens to over whelm it ; what shall they do ? Simpletons (as old HOMER used to say), they thought to propi tiate the Times! Their Free-trade chief commis sioner so very recently did make it a present of five-and-twenty or forty thousand pounds per annum, we forget which—they supposed it would in gratitude accept with a bow a ten years' licence to trade in that style. Foolish men, did they forget the old school motto about the love of money ever increasing with money's growth ? Do they themselves not build larger cotton factories and warehouses, as they taste the sweets of in creasing profits ? Surely the Hon. Member for Kidderminster will rise in his place and denounce the unparalleled injustice of laying down but one uniform law for all printed matter, and thus com pelling the Times to pay more than four ounce papers if it sends two ounces more of lucrative advertisements. The Times is one of our national institutions ; the profit on its advertisements it is vulgar to regard as a personal matter—it is a national benefit. Every Statesman must wish the Post-office to lose if it do but enrich the Times. Nothing could show a more JOSEPH-HumE-like, and contracted spirit, than to argue that in ten years the Times may make a quarter or half a million of money out of Mr. GLADSTONE'S last present, and that that should be enough. To enrich the Times is to enrich the nation. We had almost forgotten our own woes in the pro spective sufferings of our great contemporary. We do think it very hard, however, that we of the evenin press—light-weighted, all of us, like a Newmarket jockey—that we should pay the same as the four-ounce dailies. We are implacably angry that we cannot travel for a half-penny when four ounces go for a penny ; and wo hereby ad vertise Mr. JAMES WILSON, of the Economist and the Treasury, that we mean to carry that point ; and, if he will not concede justice now, we will extort it in due season. DEATH OF THE EMPEROR OF BUSI.A. (From the Press of this day.) Telegraphic despatches were received at, the Ad miralty yesterday from her Majesty's Ministers at Berlin and the Hague, announcing the death, be tween twelve and one o'clock yesterday forenoon, at St. Petersurg, of his Imperial Maje s ty th e Emperor of Russia. The alleged cause of his death was " a stroke of pulmonary apoplexy." It' is stated that the Earl of Clarendon, her Majesty's principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, has left London for Boulogne, in order to confer with the Emperor of the French. This startling event, if it prove authentic, may have such important consequences on the pending negotiations, that we shall refrain from communi cating the highly authoritative information which has reached us during the week on that subject. We will merely add that the sanguine hopes in which the diplomatists of all countries have re cently indulged, that an almcst immediate peace was at hand, had, especially within the last three days, become clouded. The visit of the Emperor of the French to the Crimea has been postponed, in consequence of•the refusal of Prince Napoleon, on the plea of ill-health, to accompany his Majesty. Irrefragable proofs of the active relations of Prince Napoleon with the alleged party of disturbance, both while in the Crimea and during his residence in France since his return, have rendered it impossible that his Imperial Highness should remain in France during the aL sence of the Emperor of the French. Notwith standing many disagreeable circumstances, every confidence is, however, reposed in the energy and sound judgment of his Majesty Louis Napoleon. On Thuriday the marriage of Countess de Vista Alegre, eldest daughter of Queen Christina, with Prince Ladislas Czartoryski, was celebrated in the chapel of the chateau of Malniaison, by Cardinal Donnet, Archbishop of Bor. des UK.

The Austrian Correspondence has the following despatch : " Turin, Feb. 24. "The Piedmontese expedition?, 15,000 strong. consists of twenty battalions of infantry, each company 120 men ; five battalions of rifles, each coKmpany 110 men ; eight squadrons of cavalry; six batteri:Jes of mounted artillery, and one battalion of sappers."

FRANU.E. PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. The Manitelly publishes the following letter addressed by the Emperor Napoleon to Lord Elgin, thanking his lordship for communicating to his Majesty the address of the Canadian Le gislature to Queen VictorFia, expressing their satisfaction at the news of the battle of Alma, and soliciting the permission to contribute to the Patriotic Fund for the ref of the wounded of both the allied armies : " . 11 Aly Lord—l thank you for leaving communicated to me the address of the Legiskaitive Council and of the Legislative Assembly of Canath to the Queen of Eng land. It would be difficult to ex Excess in a more patriotic ane more touching manner Wm ardent wishes of these bodies for the success of our arms in the East, and their regret at the misfortunes inseparable from this great struggle. Our country, you may loe assured being moved like myself with th© eloquent testimony of suc!4 lively sympathy, will not see, without, being grateful, that the people of Canada, at the remetrnbrance of its French origin, could not separate in it; congratulations and in its offerings those persons whom the community of dangers so nobly unite. Be kind enough to express to the Legislative Council and to the Legislative Assembly of Canada my sentiments, as well as those of France, which I believe myself to convey to you.—Accept, my kill, the assurance of my high ustoem. "NAPOLEON, " Palace of the Tuileries, Feb, 27." Should any accident occur to the Emperor on his way to the army, or before Sebastopol, the position of that power as rega,rds Russia would be very critical indeed. A personage, writing from Vienna, says— " In case of a catastrophe befo:re Sebastopol or in the Black Sea, how can we be sure that we shall r,ot have to do with the Republic, or with Henri V.? We have made treaty of alliance with the Emperor of the French against Russia. If he disappear from the scene the Re publican Government would be opposed to us, and would revolutionise our own States, and Henry V., sup posing him to be on the throne of France, would be the ally of Russia rather than of Austria in this present cause." . _ A very important military measure has just been decided on by the French Government. It is well known that the third battalion of each of the hun dred regiments of infantry of the French army forms the depot, and that it consists of two com panies of picked men—one of grenadiers, the other the light infantry company. These two hundred companies are about to be raised to one hundred men each. The 20,000 men d' elite, thus obtained, are to be sent to Paris, and are to form two divi sions of 10,000 men each—one of grenadiers, the SIEGE OP SEBASTOPOL. A letter from Sebastopol of the 17th ult., in the Constitutionnel, says : " General Pelissicr and General Bosquet have both entered on their functions as commandants of the Ist and 2d corps d'arrnee. This is a strong guarantee for the General-in-Chief, that his ideas will be understood and executed in a masterly manner. Reinforcements are con stantly arriving. The wind from the south, which blows with -some degree of violence, dries up the ground and brings us fleets of vessels ; and provisions,, ammunition, and stor es o f a ll kinds abound. 7,000 men arrived yesterday, partly belonging to the fltb divi sion, and partly consisting of reinforcements for different corps. The Imperial Guard is still encamped near the port of Kamiesh, where they will remain until the ground has become dry enough for them to take up better quarteis. The formation of the regiment of the Zouaves of the Guard will soon be completed. In the night of the 13th our volunteers on the extreme- right on the Tchernaia made a descent on the Russian post, and came upon the enemyso suddenly that they bad not time to defend themselves. 30 of them were killed and the commander took- to flight ; we had only four or five men wounded. On the following night a similar move ment was made, but the Russians had deserted the spot, which is a very important point gained, as their riflemen from that position seriously annoyed the workmen in the trenches on the right. Russian de serters are.constantly coining in, who complain of the continual fatigue and bard work which they have had to endure. From all the information which bas been collected, it does not appear that the Russians have more than from 65,000 to 70,000 men in the Crimea, and from the difficulty of transport, provisions have been distributed very irregularly. They have it given out by the German journals, who are doubtless paid fir so doing, that they have considerable forces at Perekop, aad yet only a week ago it was found necessary to send a regiment of infantry, with eight pieces of artillery, to support their cavalry in that quarter. The troops are in excellent health, the works go on with astonishing rapidity, and every moment brings us nearer the en d o f the affair." TILE RUSSIAN "RECONNAISSANCE" AT ETTPATORIA. Baron von Manteuffel had, it is understood, on 28th February, received a telegraphic despatch at Berlin; from the Prussian Consul-General at Bucharest, which fully confirms previous statements, that the affair at Eupatoria, of the 17th, was not a mere "re connaissance," but a regular and carefully-planned attempt at a coup de main. The Russians advanced with thirty-six battalions and eighty field-pieces, and under cover of the latter formed storming columns, well provided with scaling ladders. The vigour of the defence was such, however, that all the assaults were repulsed. After between three and four hours' hard fighting and fruitless efforts, General Chruleff sounded a retreat, and drew off his defeated troops out of range of fire, leaving nearly 400 dead at the foot of the entrenchments, and suf fering most severely as he fell back. The Russian troops bivouacked on the night of the 17th-18th, at a short dis tance, without tents or covering, and on the latterday the main body retired on Simphoropol. The fire of the de fenders is said to have caused the Russians a very 'severe loss in artillery horses, of which a., : uonsiderable number were left on the ground where theireOeld batteries were stationed. The loss of the Turks is understood to have amounted to about 250 killed and wounded. But it matters little whether our brave allies lost 50 or even 100, more or less. They have repulsed a regular and desperate assault, and proved to the Russians that the men of Eupatoria are those of. Silistria. The despatch adds, it is said, that this successful affair has excited great enthusiasm among the Turkish troops at Eupatoria, and inspired them with perfect confidence PORTSMOUTH, Saturday Morning.—The Arabia, from the Black Sea, has arrived with military invalids. RATHER OMINOUS.—We understand that the Secre tary to the General Post-office has written to the au thorities in the different counties, cities, and boroughs, requesting them to furnish the Postmaster-General with the address of their offices for the reception of election writs. This may be a merely formal inquiry, but at the present moment it is exceedingly ominous. PRUSSIA. A letter from Berlin of the 27th ult., says : " Mr. Hammond, who is to assist Lord John Russell in the conferences of Vienna, arrived here yesterday, and was presented by the English Am bassador, Lord Bloomfield, to the President of the Council, with whom lie had a long conference The Council of Ministers assembled to-day undo the Presidency of the King, when a discussion, i is said, took place on the means of overcoming thto obstacles which still lie in the way of the definitive conclusion of the treaty between Prussia and the Western Powers. One of the great questions is to know whether Austria persists, as has been stated, in her resolution to make a fresh proposition to the Diet for the mobilisation of the German contin gents, but it is positively affirmed that, in answer to an application made on the subject by our Go vernment, the Austrian Cabinet has replied that it had no intention of making any cliango in the present state of things. Mr. Hammond has had a fresh conference with the President of the Council to-day, in presence of Lord Bloomfield. On Lord John Russell's arrival to-morrow, it is thought that the negotiations which were opened in London by M. de Usedom will bo brought to a definitive conclusion. In addition to the official note, in which Baron de Budherg made known to our Ca binet the arming of the Russian militia, and in which he represents that measure as a purely de fensive one, he has also given in the name of his Government the most satisfactory assurances of pacific intentions, on the part of the Russian Go vernment, and that a proof of that feeling would soon be seen at the conferences of Vienna." ODESSA. A letter from Vienna, in the Augsburg Gazette, says :—" The events which have lately taken place at Odessa have attracted more attention than usual to that port. It has now been transformed into a fortified place. During the summer of 1854 it bad been in contemplation by the Allies to destroy Odessa, a measure which, although severe, then ap peared to be called for by strategical reasons. Out of feelings of humanity, however, Admirals Hamelin and Dundas wished to spare the property of so many mercantile houses, which, during the scarcity of 1817 and 1853, had preserved the half of Europe from flunine. They consequently confined their operations to the destruction of a part of the mili tary port, and the establishment of a blockade. What has since taken place at Odsssa ? All the warehouses have been transformed into military depots, and Odessa, which was the centre of mari time commerce, has become the pivot of the opera tions of Prince Gortschakoff and Prince Menscbi koff. This is why hostile operations are now about to be undertaken against that port from strategical reasons ; and if the Russians do not evacuate it voluntarily, which is scarcely probable, Admiral Lyons will immediately proceed to effect its de, struction. The Allies also intend to bombard Theodosia, an undertaking with w hi c h Ad m i ra l Bruat will be charged. General Luders, who is now at Odessa, is to have the command of all the forces concentrated on that point." SPAIN. MADRID, March I.—The Cortes have adopte d by a majority of 200 to 52, the basis of the new constitution relative to religion such as it was drawn up by the committee. At a meeting of the holders of Treasury Bonds held at the Ministry of Finance, it was decided that the overdue bonds should be renewed for twelve months. Perfect tranquillity prevails in all the provinces. It has been remarked that for some time past no mention has been made of any movement on the part of Schamyl. The New Peussian Gazette, how ever, now gives some news of him, but as that journal is a Russian organ, its intelligence must be received with great reserve. It states that the Russian General. Baron Nicolai, on the 16th, car ried by a coup de main the fortified place of Schouaib-Capon, which, from its strength, is called the Gibraltar of the Tschetschnia.. The fortress was surrounded and attacked in such an unex pected manner that the garrison, composed of Schamyl's troops, could only offer a feeble resist ance. The capture of this place is represented by the above-named journal as having caused an im mense sensation in the Caucasus, and to be one of the severest blows that Schamyl has ever met with. A letter from Vienna, in the German, Journal of Frankfort, says that before the commencement of the Conferences, properly so called, there will ho some preparatory conversations, among the mem bers of the old Conference of Vienna, at which Prince Gortschakoff will be present. It is said that he has receivA orders from St.• Petersburg to use all his endeavours to have the conferences open as early as possible. A letter from Achyr, in the Ukraine, in the Na tional Gazette of Berlin, states that a body of 421 Polish conscript 3 had just passed through that place chained together, who are to be incorporated in the regiments in Siberia, and the Caucasus. These men, who on first starting numbered 500, had been reduced to the above number at the time they reached Achyr. It is said that several of the pro vinces in Poland which had not been before de clared in a state of siege were about to be so. • A letter from Berlin of the 27th ult. says : "M. Titoff, the Russian plenipotentiary at the conferences of Vienna, arrived here yesterday, ou his way from Stuttgardt to the Austrian capital. Baron de Budberg, the Russian ambassador at this court, yesterday gave a grand diplomatic dinner in honour of his arrival, at which M. de Man teuffel was present." The slighting manner in which the Belgian troops were' spoken of in the English Parliament, on the discussion of the Foreign Enlistment Bill, has created a great sensation in Bulgiurn. General Renard, of the Belgian army, has published several very long letters in the Independence of Brussels, to prove that on all occasions, and especially at Waterloo, the Belgians acted bravely. In the Senate, some days back, a member energetically protested against the language which had been used ; and in the Chamber of Representatives on Wednesday, M. Vervoort, of the opposition, said that he joined in the protest which had been made in the Senate. He then quoted from the memoirs of Napoleon I. to show that that groat captain had thought highly of the Belgian troops. A solemn funeral service was celebrated at Turin on the 27th ult., in commemoration of her late Majesty Queen Maria Theresa. The music was composed for the occasion by M. Riccardi, and the funeral oration was delivered by Monsignor Renaldi, Bishop of Pinerolo. The Nouvelliste of Marseilles states that it has received intelligence from Sicily of the resignation of M. Filangieri, viceroy of that island, who had met with difficulties in his administration. It is said that Prince Casteleicala succeeds him. VISIT OF HER MAJESTY TO CHATHAM.—Oe Thursday evening a telegraphic a despatch was received by Colo nel Eden, the commandant at Chatham Barracks, noti fying that her Majesty intended paying a visit to Chat ham on Saturday (this day), for the purpose of inspect ing the hospitals at Fort Pitt and St. Mary's, which are at present crowded with invalids recently returned from the Crimea. Preparations were at once commenced for her Majesty's reception at the railway station and elite where. Her Majesty, accompanied by Prince Albert, and probably the Prince of Wales, will leave the Lon don-bridge Station at 10 o'clock this morning, and will arrive at Strood at about a quarter before 11. Her Majesty, on her arrival at port Pitt, will be conducted through the wards by the officers of that establishment ; after which she will proceed to the Garrison Hospital and to St. Mary's, if time permit. It is not the inten • tion of her Majesty to make any stay in Chatham, her visit being strictly for the purpose of inspecting the wounded soldiers ; she will consequently return to the Strood Station immediately after leaving the hospitals. APOTHECARIES'-HALL.—The following are the names of gentlemen who passed their examination in the science and practice of medicine, and received certificates to practise, on Thursday, the let of March, 1855 :—Thomas Charles Law, Accrington, Lancashire ; William Whyte head Boulton, Beverley, York ; Joseph Harvey Sutoliff ; Richard Arnold, Dawlish, Devon ; James Fawcus, North Shields ; and Alexander Grant, Aberdeen. CITY OF LONDON ELECTION. (TIIIS DAY.) RE-ELECTION OF LORD JOHN RUSSELL, The re-election of Lord John Russell for the City of London took p'-ace to-day, in the Guildhall, but not without some show of opposition. A Mr. Anson, it was announced, would be brought forward, and placards upon the walls near theGtuldhall called upon the electors to be "independent," and return that gentleman. Who Mr. Anson was, however, did not•transpire, beyond the simple fact that he was " connected with the Corn Exchange ;" ner was any effort ma le during the proceedings of the election by any of his friends to put forward his preten-, sions. By twelve o'clock a large body of the 'citizens had assembled in the body of the hall, and soon after wards Alderman Muggeridge and Sheriff Crossley ap peared on the platform in their robes of office, followed by a strong party of the supporters of Lord J. Russell, the members of the noble brd's committee, and by several of the members of the Common Council and Court of Aldermen. The usual preliminaries having been gone through Mr. H. J. 'PRESCOTT came forward amidst applause, for the purpose of nominating Lord John Russell for re-election. In the course of his re marks, he traced the circumstances which had at last led to that appeal on the part of the noble lord to his constitu ents, and defended the course the noble lord bad adopted. He expressed his cordial confidence in the present Administration, and called upon the electors to mani fest their disposition to afford the Government every support, by re-electing, with an unanimous voice, Lord John Russell, who had accepted office in connection With it. (This proposition was received with loud cries of "Oh ! oh !" hissing, and other manifestations of dis approbation, mingled, however, with vociferous shouts of "Hear, hear," and " Bravo !") After the confusion bad subsided, Mr. JOHN DILLON presented himself as the-seconder of the nomination. His observations in defence of the conduct of Lord John Russell in relation to the Aber deen Administration, and his subsequent acceptance of office in the present Government, were met with mingled hissing and cheering. Mr. J. STONOR then came forward, and, after strug- gling for some time against the confusion and opposition which his address excited, proposed Sir Charles Napier as a candidate for election. This nominat ion was re ceived with hissing, cries of " Oh, oh !" and counter applause. It was, however, not seconded. Accord ingly, the sheriffs, upon a show of hands, declared, amidst prolonged cheering, that Lord John Russell was duly re-elected. On the motion of Mr. S. MORLEY, seconded by Mr. INGRAM TRAVERS, and supported by Mr. Rennock, the following resolution was unanimously adopted : "That at a period like the present, when by gross mismanagement on the part of the executive Go vernment, the high position of this country in the scale of nations has been in danger of being compromised, the citizens of London, assembled in Common Hall, have elected, as their representative in Parliament, the noble lord who has accepted the office of one of her Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, and eesire to place on record the fact that they have discharged this duty in the earnest hope and trust that the Government, of which the noble lord is so important a member, will immediately and firmly grapple with and remove the causes of that disastrous mismanagement." After a vote of thanks to the Sheriffs, the proceedings terminated MARLBOROUGH-STREET.-(THIS DAY. THE FOLEY-PLACE TRAGEDY. Luigi Baranelli, the who was committed - to Newgate under the warrant of the Coroner for Middle sex, for the wilful murder of Joseph Latham, at No. 5, Foley-place, end also with attempting to murder Mary Ann Jeanes, alias Latham, by shooting her with a pis tol, was brought up to-day for re-examination. Mr. Jarman, from the office of the Secretary to the Treasury, appeared for the prosecution, and Messrs. Macentean and Le Breton for the prisoner. There was no further evidence in addition to that which was produced on the last examination, the report of which appeared in this journal on Friday week last. The evidence taken on that occasion was read over to the prisoner by Mr. Leadley, the chief clerk, and inter preted to the accused by Mr. G. B. Vannini ; after which the prisoner was remanded pro forma until the 4th of April next. MINING INTELLIGENCE. (Pram the Mining Journal of this day.) MINES. —There is no material alteration to notice in the state of the Share Market. It is almost impossible that it can be duller, but then this state of things is not confined to mining, for almost every description of pro perty feels the influence of the times, whilst the almost daily failures add to the general uneasines3. Things will not be improved, either, if, as we under stand, there will be no loan for the present exigencies of the State, but that the new Chancellor of the Exche quer will carry out the well-known plans of the late, and with his assistance and advice. The favourable change in the weather has put the miners again on the qui vive, and ores are being dressed for market as fast as possible, although the stoppage of nearly six weeks will make a serious difference in the balance sheets of many mines which were about meeting their costs in ordinary In Wales, mast of the mines are again in operation, and the small quantity of ores sold of late will have been of good service, if it induces the smelters to give a fairer price for lead; if they will not, it will be useless for many of the mines to go on ; a fall of 51. per ton is a very serious item, even upon 20 tons per month.
