THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 29, 1855, garded in different lights. No one can doubt that a series of disasters has occurred, which ought, for our future guidance, to be traced ac curately to their causes, even if no individual were visited with censure. Hence many will support Mr. ROEBUCK on this ground. Still, such an inquiry must necessarily be somewhat pro tracted, and could not furnish the ground for immediate remedial action, which is the present want. It could also be, in some respects, even better conducted some time hence. So far as this reason goes, therefore, we must think it insuffi cient, and the House may safely assume that, if the half only of what is known be true, it may justly demand the most satisfactory bond against the continuance of the mismanagement. Other members think that it is properly & cc no _ confidence motion." Of this there can be no doubtall feels dsinceprobably no one but Mi n i s t ers themselves any confidence in them as a body —at least so far as concerns " those departments whose duty it has been to minister to the wants of the army"—it seems quite reasonable to pass a " no-confidence" vote. Although the most mor tifying and cruel failure has been in the Commis sariat, and all which is under charge of the Duke of NEWCASTLE and the Honourable SIDNEY HERBERT, yet the whole Cabinet, and its Chief especially, must be untrustworthy also, if, seeing all the mischief, they did not insist on the changes requisite to its rectification. Lord JOHN very properly doubted whether he should not have resigned in November ; rather, we should say, he ought to have had no doubt at all. The country had none. It showed in every way that it desiderated a practical man in the all important post, on the competent filling of which the efficiency, nay the very physical life, of the army depended. It held all the Cabinet respon sible for the dreadful consequences of the in capacity of those who were for the time its most important mentbers. Hence the House might, with perfect consistency, vote that it had no con adence in her MAJESTY'S Ministers. We must think, as at present advised, that such ought to be the vote of the House, unie ss the real end of the motion which we suggested at the commencement of this article can be thoroughly secured without. No considerations of mere etiquette ought to stand in the way of Par liament obtaining the fullest security for the future, if it foregoes the adoption of Mr. Ron- BUCK'S motion. The lives of our soldiers, and the entire expedition, are not to be sacrificed any longer to Courtly or aristocratic considerations. Better twenty aristocrats go out of office, and go with the brand of incompetency too, than ono poor, bravo soldier die to spare them mortification; it is, indeed, profane to make for a moment a comparison between the importance of saving in capacity from its deserts, and saving the precious men upon whom the hearts of all England are now pityingly and even affectionately set. The coun try has come quite to love its fine fellows through tdmiiation of their bravery aid commisera tion with their sufferings, and woe to the Legislature if it -does not new insist that the cherished objects of the people's re gards shall find themselves cared for quite dif ferently to what they have been. Till assurances are given, or completed arrangements announced, which shall prove that without a day's delay the whole course of the war administration will be Amazed, it will be the duty of the House of Com mons to declare that it has no confidence in Ministers. Is what we already know of 'Ministerial changes a sufficient guarantee ? The alteration is no doubt great. The man whose claims on the post Lord ABERDEEN would not recognise, till forced to do , .co et the eleventh hear, is now placed in it ; and the ex-Minister of War is to be consoled by filling Lily post occupied by one so much his superior as Lord Joins' RUSSELL, and some Whig perhaps is to be Home Secretary. So far well—at least s well as might be expected while Lord AlUilt- DION is at the head. Lord PALstmnsTorr will be obeyed, and the country will have him obeyed in his department ; but it must be demanded that he be supreme tkere—that no one shall venture to re-examine and modify, or pre tend to' authorise afresh what he has ordered. The precious story told by Mr. LINDSAY of the style of chartering and loading ships by three or foir independent authorities must, like a thou sand similar things, be incapable of repetition. Parliament will as readily grant requisite powers as requisite money, and will admit of no excuse for their nit being asked and used. But is there not another essential ? Does or oan the country confide in Lord ABERDEEN to head the contest with Russia ? We believe him to want both the capacity and the will. These are not times for false delicacy. Is an amiable Peer we respect him greatly, but we are confident tiat far as Lord Joax RussELL falls below our mark, tie country would look very differently upon its war prospects if he became Premier. He has avowed his reconciliation with Lord. PALMER ,,TON and Lord PALMERSTON; with him, and he has proclaimed that Mr. GLADSTONE is the man on whom ho could rely as Chancellor of the Ex chequer. Such an arrangement in the principal places, if filled up not by family connexions, but by men of proved experience, would give more confidence than can be felt at present, to say the least. With such colleagues Mr. GLADSTONB would adopt any plan needful to meet the War expen diture. THE BRIDGEWATER ADDRESS TO PRINCE ADAM CZARTORYSKI. The following letter has been received by the Rev. S. Alfred Steinthal, Bridgewater, from Prince Ladiolas Czartoryski, acknowledging, on behalf of his father, Prince Adam, the address voted to him at a public meeting of the inhabitants of the borough of Bridge water : " Paris, January 18, 1850. " Sir,—My father desires me to acknowledge the re ceipt oyour favour of the 11th inst., conveying the ad dress voted to bim at a public meeting of the inhabitants of the borough of Bridgewater, and signed on behalf of the meeting by his worship the Mayor of the borough, who presided. The enclosed is the answer of my father to it, which please to give to his worship. lam desired also by my father to thank you more particularly as the mover of that address, and to say that we receive with pleasure your bringing to our recollection that your town was the first in 1831 to petitioi Parliament in behalf of our country. Assuredly it is an honourable dis tinction, that the borough of Bridgewater can claim new with pride; because many A trying day has passed away to test the sincerity of the advocacy of that cause, and yet the people of England stand fast by it, because they felt, and the recent facts go far to prove it, that that cause was intimately connected with the welfare of the world, Would to God, that the con viction of the people of England became that of the Government ; not only would we then benefit by it, but the world at large with us, and the desired end once ob tained, all of 11Y, the Poles, as well a 3 their steadfast friends in England, would look back with pleasure on the long days of toil and trouble. We are happy to col lect from your letter that Mr. Zabo has so eminently succeeded in captivating the attention of your people, as we think that the better the history of Poland is known the stronger will be the sympathies of the world for us.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedi ent servant, "LADISLAS CZARTORYSKI. " The Rev. S. A. Steinthal, Bridgewater." LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DA Y). COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. MOSS V. THE COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS FOR THE CITY OF LONDON. Lord Campbell, in giving judgment in this case, in which the plaintiff, a resident in Sergeant's-inn, Fleet. street, appealed against his liability under the 11th and 12th Vic., c. 163, entitled, "An Act to provide for the Sanitary Improvement of the City," said the question involved was, whether the occupiers of houses in the locality alluded to were liable to be rated under this act. After deliberately considering the provisions of that act, the Court wag of opinion that they were so liable, inasmuch as the object of the act appeared to be to constitute the whole of the places within the City as one district for sanitary improvement; and its language was quite clear upon the point that the Legis lature intended to subject all property in the City to the rate, whether situated within or without a ward. It was objected at the hearing that the Legislature had provided no machinery for the administration of a rate in places like Sergeant's Inn, not situate within a ward, but the Court thought this difficulty might be obviated by the commissioners directing the ward officers to rate that place as a ward of itself. Under these circum stances judgment must be for the defendant. Judgment accordingly. THE CRIMINAL INFORMATION AGAINST THE "TIMES" NEWSPAPER FOR LIBEL. TEE QUEEN T. HARRISON. The Court gave judgment this morning in this case, which has stood over since last term. It will be recol lected that a criminal information was applied for and issued against Mr. William Harrison, as the pub lisher of the Times, in consequence of an article appearing in its coluisans affecting the character of the Hon. Francis Scott, as chairman of the London and South-Western Railway and his co-directors, and that last term, when the trial was heard bdore Lord Campbell and a special jury, a verdict of guilty was returned. After some preliminary proceedings had been gone through, Sir F. Thesiger, as counsel for the defendant, very ably addressed the Court, in mitigation of the judg ment. He regretted that after the article which had appeared in the Times subsequently to the trial, the clients of his learned friends en the opposite side (the Attorney-General, Mr. Bramwell, and Mr. Bovill) should have thought it necessary to proceed further in that matter. The learned counsel then pro ceeded, at some length, to review the article in question, contending that it clearly showed that, with regard to the sutject of what the jury had deemed to be libel, the writer was actuated by no improper motives against the prosecutors ; that it was merely a comment upon a question in dispute between the shareholders and directors of the company in question, and that if it contained expres sions which had affected the public or private character of the directors they were quite unintentionally and hastily made use of. After hearing the Attorney-General and the other learned gentlemen on the other side in support of the view that the libel was not thoughtlessly written, and that it was not a mere comment but a direct charge against the directors ; and further upon this point that the subsequent aricle placed the prosecutors in exactly the same position as before the trial, inasmuch as it juP tified the previous one, and did not, as it ought to have done, contain any verbal apology in reparation towards gentlemen whose characters had been offended, Their lordships consulted for a few seconds, and Justice Coleridge proceeded to pass 'the sentence of the Court. Whilst he held that the most extended freedom ought to be extended to the press, he drew attention to the well-defined line of propriety by which it must be limited, and, after reviewing the subject matter of the libel, he said he and his learned brethren fully concurred in the ♦erdict of the jury. Taking the well-known respectability of the defendant, and the fact that no doubt he was in no way concerned in or respon sible for the appearance of the article, the sentence of the Court would be that he be fined in the penalty of 3001., and that until it be paid he be imprisoned amongst the first class of misdemeanants in the Queen's Bench. THE FOLEY-PLACE TRAGEDY. ADJOURNED INQUEST THIS DAY. The adjourned inquest upon the body of Mr. Latham, who was murdered upon the 7th inst., was resumed this morning Fat eleven o'clock, at the Middlesex Hospital, before Mr. Wakley, the Coroner. After some preliminary examination of the surgeons, as to the state of the health of the assassin, Baranelli, and it being stated that he was fit to undergo an examination, he was brought into the inquest-room, where his statement was read over to him. Upon being asked whether it was true, he said it was. One of the medical gentlemen said, although prisoner was well in health, lately his mind was affected. The prisoner was then removed in n cab to Foley place, where the jury were assembled to take the depositions of the wounded woman, Lambert. The jury, after same delay, were assembled around her bedside, when the examination was proceeded with. The wounded woman having been sworn said—My name is Mary Ann Lambert. lam a widow and single. I do not like to tell what my husband's name was. After some hesitation, his name was George James. Coroner—What else ? Again she hesitated. At this moment, the medical officer who had come from the hospital with the prisoner, came into the room and stated that the prisoner said he felt very cold, and wished to know if he might be taken down to the kitchen fire. The wounded woman upon hearing this became most violently agitated, and screamed out " no, no," do not let him go there. The Coroner, after quiet had been obtained, and the witness somewhat composed, again pressed her to tell the name of her husband, and maid that there were plenty to whom it was known. After some further hesitation she said in a low voice, betraying deep emotion, George James Jeanes. He lived in Dorsetshire, and was a gen tleman farmer, 'Upon the 7th instant I was in bed with Mr. Lambert, when Baranelli came in and saw Mr. Lambert, and put the pistol quite close to his neck and shot him dead. I at first got under the bed clothes, but thinking that would not save my life, I got out of bed, and tried to get hold of the pistol when he shot me through the arm, and it went into my body. I did not see Baranelli afterwards. Thera hal not been any quarrel, nor had he held out any threats to either of us. About 10 days before this occurrence Mr. Lambert had told him he must leave the house. He had been living with Its ; we let him stay out of charity. H e left the same day this conversation took place ; he parted good friends. Her evidence having been completed, it was read over to her, and Baranelli was then brought into the room, for the purpose of being identified. Upon this she became fearfully agitated and could not be got to look towards him, but as soon as she turned her head in the direction he was standing and caught sight of him, she uttered a wild scream and, fell back in the bed ex claiming that it was him. The depositions having been read over in the presence of the prisoner, he was asked if he had any question to put, and he said no. He was then placed in a cab and taken bask to the hospital, to where the inquiry was again adjeurned. Upon the re-assembling of the jury at the Middlesex Hospital evidence was adduced, and the jury returned a verdict that Joseph Latham was wilfully murdered by Laigi Baranelli.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer has given notice of an important motion for this evening. It is the intention of her MAJESTY's Government to revise and modify the whole law relating to the " Fourth Estate;" nay, more, to repeal all the existing regulations, and to introduce a new code, not merely relating to the stamping, but to the registration and securities. These are matters of no trivial interest to the community at large. The great object must be to obtain a free and independent, but not a licentious Press. To insure that those who have undertaken the arduous and responsible duty of supplying infor mation to the people shall be enabled to do so without let or hindrance, and to offer reasonable commentaries on the facts communicated ; while any attempt to abuse the privileges sanctioned for public purposes, to allow the perfect freedom required to degenerate into the gratification of private malevolence, or vindictive or mischievous feeling, should be earnestly and steadily re pressed. We want perfect freedom--we would eschew everything approaching to scurrility. The motion in question may be subdivided. The first portion relates to the abolition of the postal facilities hitherto allowed to public jour nals, and their assimilation to printed books and papers of every description. The proposition is to the effect that all printed matter may be trans mitted by post at prices " not exceeding one penny for every four ounces in weight, and every fractional part of four ounces!" Heretofore newspapers impressed with the recognised stamp went free ; henceforward all papers must pay, the stamp which conferred the privilege being abolished. It is, however, understood that some privilege will still be allowed to stamped journals. Those which aro franked by an impressed stamp as at present may be many times sent through the post ; in fact, they may travel repeatedly during the seven days after their publication without any further charge ; whereas ordinary printed papers will require a postage stamp each time of transmits sion. Something will thus still be accorded to the stamp, which will still be used, like those on our face tiou* contemporary Punch and other publications; which, althougfi . not indispensable, are still fre quently adopted ii—vonsequence of the correspond ing privilege. 1 The amount thus conceded is unquestionably large. So far as we can understand the principle of the measure, it is that public journals should be placed on the same footing as all the printed papers. Four ounces is thus taken as the maxi mum—and the smallest fractional portion thereof require an equal stamp, which must accordingly be given. Now it seems rather a strange coincidence that the weight thus selected will be exactly that which will cover a copy of the Leviathan with double supplement. The most trifling additional weight would turn the scale ; but, the Times, double supplement and all, will go free for the penny. This is an ingenious attempt to repair the error of last year, and to give the Leviathan that which it then so strenuously demanded, and for the neglect whereof it administered some gentle casti gation to its pet financier. The Times can now carry its double supplement as cheaply as the smallest " fly-sheet" issued by any contemporary can be transmitted. We may ask—and we be lieve the interrogatory will be repeated through out the length and - breadth of the land—Why, if four ounces .be transmitted for one penny, should not two ounces, which will cover a large majority of journals, be carried for one half penny ? The distinctions respecting letters go so low as half-an-ounce. Surely there is not so very extraordinary a difference between writing and printing as to make the former necessarily eight times the latter for the same cost. The power of transmitting repeatedly during seven days from the time of publication may be regarded as another sop to the Cerberus of Printing-house-square—the amende honourable for the leze majeste of last year. Before we dismiss this subject we would suggest one privilege that may reasonably be given to the press. At present any journal posted at the General Office after six o'clock is subjected to an extra charge. Now, the time may easily be in creased to seven o'clock without inconvenience to the Post-office authorities, which would enable every journal to transmit its latest edition to its 1 1 country subscribers without additional charge. As to the alterations in the law of Übe, and copyright, we must await the promised - ex planations of the Financial Minister be fore we can form a decisive opinion. Tkese matters must, however, be vigilantly looked over to avoid the Scylla of licentiousness as well as the Charybdis of undue restriction. The admirable measure of Lord CAMPBELL forms an excellent basis for any new legislation. Public matters skould lee freely 'canvassed, -while that the only object whereof could be to give pain to individuals skould be firmly kept down. As to copyright" that is a matter that cannot be lightly dealt with. It would, however, be well if something could be doze to prevent parties from acknowledging extracts as from a favoured journal, which they well know to have been " cribbed" without acknowledgment from one too independent to be regarded with a very friendly eye. The matter, however, is too extensive to be dealt with at the end of an article, or before we know the vievra of the Ministry on this important subject. Mr. ROEBUCK'S motion is but a means to an end, and the end is not to censure the Govern ment, not to put well-meaning incompetence into the pillory, not to oust one set of Dukes and Lords and to put in another, not even merely to obtain an accurate account of the state of things in the Crimea, for of this we know beyond all question quite enough for our present guidance-- the end is to put things instanter in the right train to remedy all that can be remedied of the past, and to prevent a recurrence of similar fatal errors and I omissions. Provided this end bo attained, the technical fate of the motion is of little couse quence. Could the House of Commons b u t obtainan adequate t a n , the 0 guar antee for an efficient War admi nistration, motion might be even withdrawn without injury. ems iu danger of giving a s t o Thus far the Hou se se ht a , eCislon from • om th e motion being re DETENTION OF THE CANADIAN. PLYMOUTH, Monday Morning.—The hired screw steamer Canadian, Captain Grange, ready to sail for the Crimea, is detained in Plymouth Sound, in consequence of her cooking coppers having been found inadequate for the number of men (about 1,000) which she has on board. THE NEWSPAPAR STAMP ACT. '(From tke Economist.) On the motion of the Secretary of the Treasury, the /louse of Commons last night resolved to go into a com mittee of the whole house on Monday next, in order to consider the laws relating to the Newspaper Stamp Amts. According to the notices of motion distributed this morn ing, the Chancellor of the Exchequer will upon that occasion propose certain resolutions for the adoption of Parliament, as the groundwork of a new act to be intro duced pursuant thereto, from which we collect that the following will be the main features of it. All the exist ing laws in relation to the press will be repealed—as well those which relate to stamping, as those which relate to registration and securities. It will then be provided that not only newspapers, but any printed single publication of any kind, not exceeding four ounces in weight, shall pass through the Post-office either with an impressed stamp, as at present, or with the ordinary postage head. But we understand there will be this diffe rence in favour of newspapers or other publications which are published with an impressed stamp, that they will be entitled to retransmission through the , .Phst-office for seven days after the date of publication, while the common adhesive stamp, affixed at any time after publication, will entitle the same to be transmitted only once. It will, however, be optional to publish any p6rtion of a newspaper so stamped beforehand and car rying the privilege of retransmission and the remainder ot the edition nnstaraped. Thus, in point of fact, the practice will be to treat all printed matter alike, and to carry through the post-office t• any part of the United Kinglets, for one penny, any single publication not ex ceeding four ounces, with the privilege of retransmission within seven days in the ease referred to. In respect to copyright and libel, newspapers will thus also be placed in the same situation only as other publications. A more complete and entire change of the present law, reducing it to the greatest simplicity, could not possibly have been proposed. What effect it will have upon the press of the country it is impossible to say, but of this we feel confident, that neither this nor auy other change will enable low priced and inferior papers to interfere with the best portion of the press M it now exists. TICE COMING CONGRESS. It is said, on authority to which some credit may be attacked, that the Emperor Nicholas insists on the ad mission of Prussia as a party to the proposed Congress at Vienna. It is needless to say the Allies will never consent to this unless Prussia enter into their alliance. If Prussia persists in her refusal to accede to our views and our alliance, and if Russia be absolute in her demand for the admission of Prussia to the Congress, it is ob vious that it will not meet, as the principals cannot agree upon preliminaries.—Morning Post. LO.RD ABERDEEN AS PREMIER. Two questions aro at this moment in everybody's mouth. The first is, by what influence was Lora Aber deen, who notoriously had no pretensions whatever to the office, in the first instance made Premier ? And the second is, by what influence has he been kept in that office, notwithstanding his proved incompetency for the discharge of its important duties, and also in defiance of public opinion so energetically, vehemently, and univer sally expressed against him. We could answer both questions in a very specific way ; but we content our selves, for reasons which we need not at present name, by simply saying, that the same influence which placed Lord Aberdeen in the office of Prtinier has continued him in that office in utter disregard of the wishes of the people. The nines of Friday speaks of the foreign in fluence which is felt in the Councils of England. There by hangs a tale, which the Times could unfold lit chose. Why does our contemporary shrink from the per formance of so important a duty I—Morning Advertiser. THE EMPEROR N.4POLION'S SUCCESSOR A. report is in general circulation in Paris, which, however extraordinary it may appear at the first blush, will probably turn out to be 3orrnt. Every one knows that the Count de Morny is tke uterine brother of the Emperor. it is now said, and, I may add, is believed in the best informed quarters, that the Emperor has re solved to declare the Count do Morny the legitimate son of King Louis of Holland and Queen Hortense, and, consequently, his own brother. It is added that his Majesty will at the same time raise the count to the rank of Imperial Highness, and declare him heir to the Empire. INCREASE OF THE GUARDS. It is stated to he the intention of Government to in crease the strength of the three battalions of Guards in the Crimea by 1,000 bayonets, viz.:— 3d battalion of Grenadier duarch 300 men. Ist battalion of Coldstream Guards 350 men. Scots Fusilier Guards, Ist battalion, 350 men. The Household Brigade of Infantry is in a position to spare nearly double that number, having obtained large reinforcements of volunteers from the militia, and also been very successful in obtaining recruits ; the volunteers being mostly well disciplined could at once be sent to the seat of war, if required, but it is believed that no further reinforcements will be sent out to the Crimea before the latter part of the next month. THE FRENCH FOREIGN LEGION. The following decreo of Napoleon 111., creating a second foreign lag-on, which has not yet been officially published in Paris, appears in the Suisse, of Berne :-- Art. 1. A second foreign legion shall be formed. 2. This legion will be - composed of two regiments of infantry. The number of battalions in each regiment may be augmented as there may be occasion. 3. The composition of the cadres in the two regi ments will be conformable to the schedule annexed to this decree. 4. In regard to pay, administration services, &c., the second foreign legion will be, like the first, assimilated to French troops of tie line. 6. All the officers still be foreigners. 7. The legion will be recruited according to the ordi nance of Marcb, 1831, applicable to the first legion. 7. As soon as the legion shall be completed, promo tion will go on according to regular order. 8. Grants of land in Algiers or the French colonies may be-made to soldiers of the first and second legions who may have distinguished themselves in the service of France by bravery or good conduct. 'Another decree, dated Paris, Jan. 17, nominates the Swiss General Ochsenbein a French general of brigade cn foreign service. It is said thata treaty between France and Switzer land has been actually signed, pursuant to which an army of 40,000 men will march across Switzer land to the Danube next month, and will be rein forced by a Swiss contingent of 15,000 men. .PRUSSIA AND THE NEGOTIATIONS. The Moniteur of yesterday publishes the following letter from Vienna, dated January 21, which it quotes from the Journal de Frankfort of the 25th : "Every German must feel grieved that Prassia can not be called upon to participate in the negotiations at Vienna so important for Europe. The despatch of the sth of January proves that Prussia herself feels this deeply ; but it would be difficult to find any legal grounds for Prussia to claim, under all conditions, the right of active participation in those negotiations. They relate to peace between Russia on the one hand, and the Porte and its allies on the other, on the bases of the four preliminary paints. " Has Prussia accepted the four points vis-a-vis the Western Powers in an obligatory manner, as the Court of Vienna has done No. How, then, can she claim a deliberative voice in their interpretation? Has Prussia, like Austria, concluded a treaty of alliance with the Western Powers to effect, in concert with them, a solid and durable peace ? No. She has not adhered to the treaty of the 2d December. She has taken no respon sible engagement with the allies in that respect. On what, then, does she found her claim to participate in negotiations for obtaining such a peace ! "It is replied that the right is hers in virtue of her rank as a great European Power. But all that results in the first instance from that rank is that Prussia has a great interest in every transaction of European import ance. To be able to take part in a special transaction, to transform into a right the simple interest of partici pation, a great Power which claims such a right must have taken at least some obligations thereto. It has never yet been pretended that the simple fact of the rank of a great Power conferred the right of participa tion in negotiation; of peace. "The great Power that claims it, and is not itself a belligerent party, must either be responsibly allied to ' one of the belligerent parties, or else have been called upon to act as mediator. But, as Prussia has not con cluded any private treaty of alliance with any one of the belligerent parties with a view to the re-establish ment of peace, and as the part of mediator has not been conferred upon her, she is therefore outside the circle of peace negotiations. This is much to be regretted, but it is a positive fact. Prussia may at once modify it by declaring her adhesion to the treaty of December. " We think it therefore very much out of place for the Prussian journals that bear a semi-official character to rake up all which, according to them, has been done to hurt the feelings of Prussia, and which prevents her adhering to the treaty in question. "Thus the Berlin Zeit of the 19th instant says :--- Even the minimum of what Prussia might pretend to know — namely, communication of the interpretation of the articles of August, decreed on the 2d of December, did not take place ; Prussia is asked to adhere first to the alliance and learn afterwards its bearings. But the secret article annexed to the treaty was communi cated to Prussia at the same time as the latter. " The three Powers did not come to an agreement on the 21 of December upon the interpretation of the four points. On the contrary, the negotiations relative thereto did not commence till after the exchange of the ratifications. It is rot, therefore, true that anything was kept secret from Prussia concerning this treaty. If she had adhered,to it she would have been called, eo ipso, to take part in the deliberations relative to the interpre tion of the feur.points." His Excellency Baron Von Usedom and the Baroness Von Usedom have left England on their return to Ber lin. His Excellency sailed from Dover on Saturday. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge is ex pected to arrive in London to-day from the Crimea. His Royal Highness reached Paris yesterday. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The Joinery session of the above court was opened this morning, before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Right Hon. the Recorder, Aldermen Farncomb, Sir R. W. Carden, and Wire, Mr. Sheriff Muggeridge, Mr Sheriff Crosley, Mr. Under-Sheriff Farrar, Mr. Under- Sheriff A, Crosley, &c., &c. The first edition of the calendar centains the names of 94 prisoners. The Recorder expressed his regret that the calendar contained several very serious charges, in five of which the destruction of human life was involved, there being four charges of manslaughter, and one of murder. There was also an increase in the crime of burglary ; and, taken altogether, the amount of crime contained in it was beyond the usual average. He was afraid with regard to the charge of murder that the grand jury would have no other alternative but to return a true bill, and if any question should arise as to the state of mind of the prisoner, that would be disposed of by the petty jury. The grand jury then retired. NEW ELECTRIC TELEGRAPIL—The Sardinian Govern ment has granted permission to Chevalier Bonolli to try his new electric telegraph on the Turin and San Paolo line. By this new system, rail may trains will be, while running, in Constant telegraphic communication with other trains !Loving on ti.o LIIO, whether helm o or be hind, and tiley may not only every moment itscertAie at what distance they are from a train, but even exchange telegraphic, eignale with each other. LATEST N EW S. THE CRIM - , EA. VIENNA, SATD!: RDAY, JAN. 27. At three o'clock this afternc , on the following despatch was received from Bali: Lklava : BALAKT., AVA, JAN. 16. The ground before Sebastop),l is covered with deep snow. On the 'morning of the 13;th the Russians, after a furious cannonade, ass aulted. the English and French lines, but were speedily repulsed. There are 14 English missing.. One officer and 19 men were wounded. The siege operations will speedily recommence on new lines. Provisions and stores are arriving daily. The Russians showed in wine force over the valley of Balaklava to-day. The following despatch has ;been received from Constantinople, dated January 18th : To-day 800 Croats leave Constantinople for Balaklava to work on the rail' ay. The rebellion in Kurdistan gains ground. • A firman will appear in a fe.-w days against cor- ruption. VIENNA, SITNDAY, JAN. 28. The mobilisation of two Rh. , anish and on© Sile sian corps &armee is premeditated at Berlin. This measure is considered here as hostile to Franco and Austria. It is said to be ascertained ;that the States will vote as follows : For Austria—Austria terse f, 4 votes ; Baden, 4 ; Brunswick, 2 ; the, States of Thuringen, to gether, 3 ; Saxe Cobourg Gotha, 1; Schwarz burg Rudolstadt and Sonderlrogusen, 2 ; total, 19 votes. For Prussia—Prussia berFself, 4 votes ; Saxe Royal, 4 ; Wurtemberg, 4 ; Holstein and Lau enburg, 3 ; the Mecklenbur gs, 4 ; Nassau, 2 ; Saxe Meiningen and Alteniburg, 2 ; Princes Anhalt, Waldeck, Reuss, die., 6 ; total, 29. From this it would appear that the majority is in favour of Prussia. Lord Stratford de Redoliffe has postponed in definitely his intended journey to England. ST. PETERSBURG, JAN. 24. In consequence of the difficulty of filling up the ranks of the army► the Emper•ar has ordered that men shall be liable to the age of 37 instead of to that of 30, as heretofore. Those sons of aged or widowed parents hitherto exempted are also now ordered to serve, forming separate corps. TURIN, JAN. 26. The President of the Coun.cil of Ministers has this day presented to the Chambers :-1. The act of adhesion of Piedmont to the treaty of alliance concluded on the 10th of April between France and England. 2. The military convention con cluded with the two Western Powers for the send- ing of 15,000 men to the Crimea. 3. An ad ditional conTention with England, relating to a loan of 25 millions of francs to b 3 contracted by Piedmont. The French cavalry has arrived at Genoa, where it has been received with demonstrations of sympathy on the part of the army and popu- lation. JAN. Tr. The treaty of alliance with France and Eng land, and also the two conventions ann axed, were signed yesterday. M. Madoz, the new Minister of Finanee, has appointed M. Cantoro, who was Minister of Finance in the Olozaga Cabinet, to be Director of the Bank of St. Ferdinand. M. Pinilla has been named Director-General of Taxes. The fremden Blatt contains a telegraphic des patch from the Allied camp, via Varna and, Bucharest. It is dated the 13th of January and states that the Turkish cavalry with the Allied army was going to Eupatoria, and bad already begun to embark at Balaklava. "So numerous are the reinforcements arriving, that it has been found necessary to form two new camps, and these are now being fortified. In the beginning of the month General Liprandi again advanced his outposts to the Chernaya." The Bth infantry division was at Perekop, and it was believed that it would join General Osten- Sacken's force at Bakshi-Serai, It is reported that the Russians have a forces of 40,000 men, with 80 cannon, at Perekop, which will remain there to defend the Isthmus, and keep it open for the passage of the troops from. the interior. The Presse of last night has the following tele graphic despatch : " BUCHAREST, JAN. 24. " The Allies have taken and laid an embargo on several vessels laden with provisions and am munition intended for the Russian army. As a consequence, the Admirals declared all the ports in the Black Sea and in the Sea of Azoff to be in a state of strict blockade." It is reported at Constantinople that '70,000 men are t• be raised in Moldavia and Wallachia. It is proposed to defray the expoiaso of their uni forms, maintenance, ac., out of the revenues of the Greek convents, which have been confiscated. Tho accounts from Sebastopol are to the 17th. At that date nothing important had taken place. A private French letter from before Sebastopol, dated the 12th, says :—The latest on, dit is the measures taken by the Emperor Nicholas to count a month's service as a year to the army of Sebas- topol have produced a very good impression on the garrison. FRANCE. PARIS, SUNDAY. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge ar rived here last evening at eight o'clock, and took up his reiidence at the British embassy. He will remain in Paris two days.
