SEBASTOPOL, VIENNA, POLAND--Which of these three names fills an Englishman with the greatest anxiety ? Before the first lies our now reviving army, the subject of so much painful news, and the patient sufferer from such unexampled mis management ; but it lies there with a portent ously magnified task before it—a fortress pro tected by artillery more than rivalling anything ever yet stormed by a foe, perfectly open to rein forcements and supplies, and an army of consider able size near at hand to distract the attention of the besiegers. England can but be anxious whe ther we and our brave Allies shall be able to " dominate" the fire of the enemy, or they ours ; whether, at least, we can silence it sufficiently to make storming prudent, and then - whether we shall be in relative force sufficient to make the attempt. We hope every thing from our men, but the superior management at home and in the East has hitherto been such that we cannot look for ward entirely without misgivings. One thing we all make up our minds to, that the work must be done. If it involve, what we advocated from the first, making Perekop secure with 100,000 men, and planting our gun-boats in the Sca of Azoff, yet, done it must be. And then Vienna—it is impossible to think of the organ of the English aristocracy pitted against Russian diplomatists without apprehension. We lend no ear to rumours which at present must be merely rumours. What we dread is known tendencies. Lord JOHN'S speeches have always been extravagantly in advance of his own propo sitions in domestic polities. Can we expect more in foreign politics? Will he deduct less from his anti-Russian orations, now that he comes to the " third point," than he did say from his out-of-office speeches when he proposed a second Reform Bill I Now the utmost of his proposals were, first, that Russia should lose no territory ; next, that she could not be allowed to menace Constantinople from Sebastopol. Deduct from the latter proposal the usual percentage for the difference between Lord JOHN'S words and deeds, and it would be quite compatible with some arrangement which would allow Russia to become in a few years as formidable in the Euxine as ever. Some agreement to leave the forts and batteries, but to diminish the number of ships, to erect rival;forts and to Ipaintain rival navies, with their tremendous and useless cost, while Nicolaieff should still be left to manufac ture in secrecy the means for another Sinope. We write these remarks with no cap tious or unkindly feeling towards our representa tive at Vienna, but we must fear the consequences of placing there a public man of his known ante cedents. Lord CASTLEREAGH'S better judgment was overcome by the roguery and fair promises of ALEXANDER. We fear Lord JOHN is not less likely to spare Russia as an enemy than Lord CASTLEREAGH was to yield to her as a friend. It is impossible for the country not to dread the sacrifice of its honour, and the throwing away of all its Crimean labours at Vienna. But Poland, with all the thoughtful, is the word Which awakens the most serious f ears . L or d aleatiairrin has in his place in the House of Commons, and as Prime Minister of Eng land, adopted the very representation which we have already given of the case—that W a rsaw is the continental Sebastopol of Russia, the position from which she threatens all western Europe. " The kingdom o f P oland," said he, "as at present constituted, is a standi ng menace N o wonder the Rouse was deeply to Germany." excited by such a declaration from th e h ead of m ent and the kn own Russia will her MAJESTY'S Gov ern Ibe cor dial friend of Lours NAPOLEON. struck by it too. We should not be surprised. if it sensibly modify the demands of Prince GOETS CHAKOFP at the Conference. There are not, nor there be, two opinions as to the truth of the assertion. The slavery of Prussia began on the very day that FREDERICK the GREAT--Villain; shall we add—suggested to Russia the first rob bery of Polish territory. The issue of that infa- nwus thievery was, that in a generation or two, linfiia incorporated into her own empire three : fourths of the territory they began to rub, and brought" her immense armies and strongest for tresses to the very borders of Prussia and Ans . • We. Ever since they have been, a n d are , her abject serfs. I Our greatest anxiety, however, is not to throw away.an opportunity which see= likely to be till last which may ever occur—an opportunity to vindicate the long-outraged morality of Europe. Nothing has so lowered the political morality of the civilised world as the barefaced and savage crime of the partition and final absorp tion of Poland. Lombardy and Hungary did not come under Austrian tyranny by such shameless and audacious violation of all interna tional law as that by which Poland was dismem bered. Nothing in the history of the heathen or so-called Christian world can be compared with this political robbery and murder in open day. So long as the blood of Poland cries in vain to civilisation, so long is it written on the pages of European history that perfidy, cunning, and strength are the law of civilised and Christian nations. All Europe lies under the curse of mur dered national liberty till Poland regains its rights. We are a community of nations allowing a gigantic and savage murderer to stand defying us all over the body of his victim. By union and courage we could bring him to justice, and we live in shame till we have done it. We took arms to prevent a new villany of the same kind ; the grand thing, however, is to redress the old and degrading wrong. What sober politician can ex pect another occasion so favourable as the present one ? The Rouse of Commons has by a majority of 54 negatived the amendment of the Honourable Gentleman the member for Kent, for the post ponement of the second reading of the Newspaper Stamp Bill until after the Chancellor of the Ex chequer has made his Financial Statement. The measure was consequently read a second time, and may now be regarded as - virtually carried. Be it so. We, at least, shall not shrink from any ad ditional competition,Ahat may follow the new pro visions for the regulation of the periodical press of the country. We were desirous that a mea sure of such vast importance, not merely to jour nalists, but to the entire community, should have received the calm and attentive consideration which it so eminently merited. We were not, however, influenced by any private or personal motives. We still trust that the same qualities which procured us a fair share of public patronage may insure similar results under the new arrange ments. The present measure is certainly a great im provement on that which the Financial Minister, after much deliberation, deemed it advisable to abandon. Any journal desirous of availing itself of the postal facilites ►ill still be compelled to re gister and give security, in the same form and to the same extent as under the law now in opera tion. So far, therefore, as the great majority of the existing Press is concerned there will be no change whatever ; and the same guarantees against ribald or licentious publications that have hitherto proved so efficacious will remain in force. The only alteration, therefore, affecting those newspapers will be, that they will—from the time of the passing of the Act—be enabled to print a portion of each impression without the stamp. That there will be some inconvenience attending the mixed issue has been clearly pointed out by the eminently practical men who attended the meeting of the newspaper trade, to which we have already directed public attention. We trust, however, that by energy and acuteness— qualities which they have largely displayed on many occasions—they may be enabled to over come those difficulties, and continue their arduous labours without interruption or curtailment. It will be alike the duty and the interest of the Post-office authorities to render all the assistance in their power to mitigate the indispensable difficulties, and reduce the inconvenience to the minimdon, amount. This may be done without the interference of Parliament, and we confidently rely on the tried efficiency of Mr. ROWT,A ND HILL to do all that is practicable to pre vent the curtailment of revenue that would follow the successful competition of the leading railways with her MAJESTY'S mails. An additional allowance of time for posting journals at the chief offices in each town or district would be the best mode of effecting this object, so that the latest intelligence may be transmitted through out the entire country, without a penalty being imposed on those who endeavour to discharge their duty to their subscribers and the community in general in the best possible manner. The financial part of the question is certainly that of least consequence in relation to the sub ject. The Chancellor of the Exchequer declares that he has made his arrangements to meet the anticipated loss, and since a decided majority has affirmed the principle, in a very full House, it is, perhaps, as well that the points in dispute should be brought to as speedy a decision as possible, so that there may be a termination of the suspense, which must necessarily be injurious to all in any degree concerned in the publication or circulation of newspapers. The Royal Message respecting 'Sardinia was last night taken into consideration by the House of Commons, and a resolution was ultimately car ried, after a protracted discussion, but without a division, to enable her Majesty to fulfil the en gagements into which she had entered with the high-minded and liberal monarch of that court tiy. By the Treaty recently concluded, the KING of Sardinia undertook to provide an auxiliary corps of 15,000 men, to co-operate with the armies of France and England against the disturber of the peace of Europe. The Sardinian, in honourable contrast to the Prussian Government, justly felt that under the peculiar circumstances of the case it was not a ti me to look merely to private or personal in terests, or to the possibility of maintaining an iso lated position. It recognised the duty, affecting every independent State, of supporting right against might, of repelling every unwarranted ag gression, and enforcing, if necessary by force of arms, the principles of equity and justice. Tt acted promptly on that conviction, and, with the unanimous concurrence of the people, gave its adhesion to the Anglo-French Treaty, including that clause which so unequivocally displayed the noble disinterestedness of the parties thereto— namely, that by which they repudiated the notion of any territorial aggrandisement, and bound themselves not to seek for or derive any peculiar advantages from the War on which they were entering. It was impossible, therefore, to ascribe any unworthy motive for the decided course which it had pursued, and which has as greatly elevated Sardinia in the scale of nations as a different and more selfish policy has depressed Prussia. was, however, essen ti a l, an d i n t h at On e Point which it m an if es t e d also the Sardinianiniaa Government displayed the ..3ame consistent indep en d ence in other respects. Its financial condition did no t e nable it, without undo© pressure on the res ources of the people, to meet the i mmediate tendant cu promp t and vigorous expenses action.at- Under such circumstances it did not disdain to avail itself of the pecuniary assistance of th o Eng lish Government. But while doing so, and thereby avoiding the delays that might other wise have proved so injurious to the just and honourable cause in which it had so u nhesitatingly , ingaged itself—it made provision for the par . __ ___ . ment of interest on the amount which might be I required, and setting aside a Sinking Fund for the gradual liquidation of the principal money that might be advanced. This, as Lord PAL - i MERSTON truly explained, was very different, indeed, from the system of - :subsidies formerly resorted to, on which nothing was to be returned in the shape either of principal or interest, but which was a pure and entire sacrifice on the part of this country. We have no hesitation in saying that the assistance and co-operation of 15,000 disciplined and gallant men would have been cheaply obtained by the grant of a million ster ling from the English Government. And if we rejoice that such a course has not been adopted, it is because the conduct of Sardinia is thereby placed beyond the possi bility of censure, rather than that we are to ob tain a return of the money about to be advanced. It is also well that the subsidising system should be avoided, and that the pretext for pecuniary demands on the English exchequer should not be afforded to other nations less worthy of such assistance, and who might feel inclined to make a more unscrupulous use of the power than Sardinia. It is the liberal and enlightened concessions made to public opinion—the free institutions con ferred on the people—that has enabled Sardinia to spare so large a force without any fear of do_ mestic disturbance. It may teach a valuable lesson to other sovereigns, by showing the im portance of founding the monarchical power on the love and respect of the people. We believe that the good seed thus sown will bring forth abundant fruit in due season, and that the KING and the people of Sardinia will have reason to felicitate themselves on the straightforward and honourable conduct now adopted, one of the re sults whereof will be "a more intimate alliance between England and Sardinia, and an increase in that kindly and cordial feeling by which the people of England are animated towards her." iii THE SUN, .LONDON, TUESDAY MARCH 27, 1855 E. REASONS FOR EXPECTING .PEACE. ( From the Independence Beige.) The items of intelligence from Vienna are unanimous concerning the progress of the Conferences. Diploma tists are buoyed up with hope, and it is said that the French Government shows itself far more yield ing on certain points that might create uneasiness respecting the success of the negotiations. Thus, until now, no understanding could be come to with Russia respecting an exchange of prisoners. I hear that M. Drouyn de l'Huys has made overtures to the persons charged with Russian interests at Paris, and that he appeared desirous of effecting a complete exchange. Russia will, doubtless, accept these proposals, which have been , forwarded to St. Petersburg by a special messenger. I ant as sured also that Lord Palmerston shows conciliatory inclinations. He is imbued with the spirit of the aristocratic order, which sees with anxiety the symp toms now visible in England of a determination to demand great modifications in the English constitution. He believes, therefore, that peace is necessary, in order to retain power in the hands of the aristocracy, but he desires to proceed slowly, in order that he may not for feit hia popularity. It has not escaped remark that, with the view of preserving that popularity, he went a good way in his last speech, when he hinted at the possibility sooner or later of taking Polish nationality and the re construction of that kingdom into consideration. THE WEATHER IN THE BALTIC. RIGA, March 17.—The state of the ice is unaltered, and the sea as far as the eye can reach is covered with ice. ATEmEr„ March 18.—No ice has been seen seawards for some days past. PILLAU, March 20.—The remainder of the vessels that were in the ice in the Haff came into this port last night. DANZIG, March 20.—There was a heavy fall of snow last night. The ice has left the roads and bay. The ice in the river is as firm as ever, and the inland navigation is not expected to be open before the middle of April. SWINEMUNDE, March 22.—The navigation between this and Stettin will not be open for a fortnight. Two coasting vessels, arrived here to-day, report having met with much ice at sea. March 23.—The roads as far as can be seen, as well as the harbour and the river Swine up to the Haff, are free of ice, but the Haff is still covered with strong ice. RLosTovn, Marcii - 22. —After several days of fine wea ther the winter seems to have returned. Last night there was a gale of wind from the east with a heavy fall of snow, which still continues. BaAs of ice have been driven towards the shore. It is supposed this (till have been also the case in Kiel and Lubeck Bays, and that large quantities of ice are drifting between the coast of Germany and the Danish islands. WARNEMUND?, March 20.—There is much drift ice seawards, and a large quantity at the entrance of the harbour. COPENHAGEN, March 20.—A fresh breeze from N.W. has broken up the ice and made an open channel N. and S. in the middle of the Sound, as far as we can see by telescope. This harbour and roadstead are still closed but it is reported to-day that the ice east of Atnack has come adrift. Some vessels are reported to have arrived at Eisinf , ra from the North Sea, which proves that there must be a navigable passage north of this port. ELsINORE, March 20.—The wind changed to S.W. on the 18th, with milder weather, which still continues. Yesterday and to-day it has blown fresh at W.N.W., which has cawed a considerable quantity of ice in the Sound, about as far as five English miles above this, to break up ; but thence and farther south the ice is still fast between this island and Sweden. NYBORG, March 19.—T0-day the Belt is almost clear of ice. It is blowing a gale at N.W., and should it c6ntinue, open water may shortly be expected as far as Slpsha.ven. FRBDRIKSHAVEN, March 19.—The ice has drifted away with a strong S. and S.E. wind, and the entranee to this harbour is free. HAMBURG, March 20.—The ice has broken up, and the river is full of drift ice. March 22. There was a heavy fall of snow last night and this morning. Wind N.E. Air mild. VISIT OF THE EMPEROR AND EMPRESS OF THE FRENCH TO ENGLAND.—We understand the Emperor Louis Na poleon and the Empress will arrive in England, on a visit to her Majesty, on the lith of April. Lord and Lady St. Leonard had a select dinner party on Saturday evening. Lady Seymour is very much indisposed in Grosvenor crescent. Lady Hartopp and Miss Anna Maria Hartopp have arrived at the Clarendon Hotel, Bond-street, from Four Oaks Hall, Warwickshire. The Emperor of the French has been pleased by special brevet, dated March 20, 1855, to appoint the Messrs. Robert Cocks and Co., New Burlington-street, London, to be music publishers to bis Imperial Majesty. THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE'S BlRTHDAY.—Yesterday, being the 36th anniversary of the birthday of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the auspicious event was celebrated at Windsor by merry peals from the belfry of St. George's Chapel in the morning, and at in tervals throughout the day. The Royal Horse Guards (Blue) also bad a grand field-day, in the Great Park, under the command of Colonel the Hon. Cecil Forester, M.P. The stea'!iness of the men, the training of the horses, and the manner in whigh the word of command was given, excited the admiration of the military gen tlemen and civilians present. CRYSTAL PALACE.—SHILLING DAY, MONDAY.—A d missions on payment, 1,426 ; ditto by season tickets, 306 ; total visitors, 1,732. LIVERPOOL.—The nomination of candidates for the representation of Liverpool takes place this day. M. Jullien has retired, pro tempore, to his estate in Belgium, to take some repose after the fatigues of his double winter season and his long tour in the provinces. The tomb of the late Emperor Nicholas faces that of Peter the Great. Mentioning this fact, the Journal de St. Petersburg exclaims, " Symbolical situation, awaken ing a world of thoughts 1 On one side the tomb of him who dispelled the darkness of ancient Russia ; on the other, the tomb of the great sovereign who raised it to the apogee of glory and prosperity." A letter from Warsaw in the National Gazette of Berlin, states that in the recruitment which was effected in the night of the 12th, the fourth within fifteen months, not fewer than 20,000 men were taken in different parts of the kingdom of Poland, the greater part on the left bank of the Vistula. A fourth of the levy consists of married men and fathers of families. In the levy were some hundreds of men who had cut off their first finger, to incapacitate them from serving ; but they have gained nothing by it, as they have all been enrolled. METROPOLITAN RAILWAY.—In consequence of there not having been a sufficient number of shareholders pre sent on the 24th of February to constitute a formal meeting, the ineetinef necessarily stood adjourned sine die, instead of to the 28th of this month, as originally proposed. The directirs are about to call a special general meeting of the proprietors. Captain Craigie, the bead of the Transport Board, visited Southampton, on Saturday, to inspect the gigantic eteamor Parana, to see if she could convey cavalry to the Crimea. Tier 'ttveen decks, however, were found not high enough fur this purpose. It is pro bable that she will be taken up to convey infantry. CITY OP LONDON THEATRE.—The wizard of all wizards, Mr. Charles Sinclair, we understand, is engaged at this well-conducted eetabliqinuent for Easter Monday, which will be a great treat for the East-enders. Inde pendent of his extraordinary illusions, his power of ven triloquism is truly wonderful ; he is pronounced equal to the great Alexander.

The Moniteur publishes the following despatch from Constantinople, dated the 19th inst. : In the night between the 15th and 16th inst. the French troops carried a line of ambuscades occupied by the enemy's sharpshooters ; at the same time the Russians made a, sortie on our extreme left, which was vigorously repulsed. They had 50 men put hors tic combat, and withdrew in disorder. The treaty between Sardinia and the Ottoman Porte was signed on the 15th. Vely Pasha is appointed Governor of Candia. We have received the following telegraphic de spatch from Marseilles : MARSEILLES, MOImAY, MARCH 26. The Thabor, which left Constantinople on the 15th, and the Euphrate, which left Constantinople on the 19th, have arrived. Despatches for the Government left at 6 p.m. Letters from the Crimea of the 17th announce that Omer Pasha arrived It the camp of the allies ©n the 12th. On the 13th the Russians opened the fire of their batteries on the heights of Balaklava. The English, assisted by General Vinoys, routed them. On the 17th the Russians attacked the whole line of the Allies, and were driven back with great loss. On the 15th of March an alliance was signed between Sardinia and the Ottoman Porte. Preparations were being made for the reception of the Emperor Napoleon. VIENNA, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 26. A dvices from Odessa of the 21st inst. state that the Russians, in spite of repeated attacks, main tain the position they had taken on Mount Sapoune on the 24th of February, from which their guns play on the French lines of attack and upon part of the camp. THE VIENNA CONFERENCE, We have received the following telegraphic de spatch from Vienna : VIENNA, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 26. Yesterday the representatives of the Allies held a conference in order to agree on the conditions to be made with Russia for effecting a diminution of her power in the Black Sea. The Continental newspapers continue to repeat that the Allies have ceased to insist on the dis mantling of Sebastopol ; and journals which have been with Russia throughout the contest now ad- mire the " conciliating intentions" cf the Allies. The more candid pro-Russian papers commence, in anticipation, those taunts which we must ex pect to hear from all sides if the Crimean expedi tion should return without having attained its object. VIENNA, March 23.—The fifth Conference is now being held, and the probability is, that unless some unfore Ten difficulty s!iould present itself, the second point will be stqtlarl f.n.any The Breslau Zeitung learns from Berlin that the harmony between France, England, and Austria " was greatly disturbed when those States had to give expression to their separate wishes." We are further told that the Western Powersare becoming more and more suspicious of Austria, and that a coolness is observable between England and France. Fortunately it is iu my power to give you perfectly authentic information on these points. As has above been stated, the only point of importance on which there is a difference of opinion between the Western Powers and Austria is that which relates to the Black Sea. That the French and English Governments entertain suspicions of the candour and loyalty of the Imperial Government is totally impossible, for it is a fact, well known to every diplomatist in this city, that Austria, for reasons which are too self-evident to require mention, is quite as anxious to make peace on really solid , bases as are either of the Western Powers. FRANCE. " We have, reason to believe," says the Salut Public of Lyons, " that the mperor Napoleon 111. has, from motives of clemency and humanity, which will be admired by all, decided that all the Russian prisoners who are so wounded as to be in capable of bearing arms, shall be sent from Con stantinople and Toulon to Odessa without any con - ditions, and at the expense of France." A letter from Marseilles, of the 24th, says : "Yesterday there arrived here 300 mules of large size, principally purchased on the Spanish frontier, which are to be embarked without delay for the between 5,000 an d 6,000 horses and army of the East. From th e present t i me to t h e m ls u t l h es a Ap r r e il, expected here for the East.

Vessels on board of which any goods contraband of war whether under a neutral flag or otherwise will be deemed lawful prizes. A letter from St. Petersburg of 15th says:— "I send you to-day a speech of the Emperor Alexan der. I informed you in a recent letter that by order of the Emperor Nicholas the nobles of each government were to be convoked by the marshals of the nobility to hear read the manifesto which confides the defence of the country to the militia. The nobles of our govern ment of St. Petersburg having asked permission of the Emperor at the beginning of 1854 to organise a sort of militia, could not necessarily refrain from accepting a creation which, under the pretut of' defending the country, places in the hands of the Czar an entire army of sesis, at the expense of the nobles, and only partly commanded by the latter. At the extraordinary meet ing of the 25th Feb., the nobles voted an address to the Emperor, in which they protested their fidelity, their patriotic sentiments, &c. On the 2d March, whilst the nobles were assembled at the Casino, they received the news that the Emperor was in danger, and they at once hastened to the Cathedral of Kasan to pray. On their return from the church they learned that the Emperor had just died. The day after, the manifesto announcing the accession of Alexander to the throne was read to the assembly, and the Emperor, besides, made known to them that the last consolation of the deceased Czar was the receipt of the address from the nobility, presented to him through the Minister of the Interior, and that he himself deigned to admit to an audience the deputies and marshals of the nobility. On the 4th, the nobles were allowed to lay at the feet of the Czar an address, expressing their humble devotedness. This address was thus conceived :—" Sire—lt has pleased God to summon the late Emperor to eternal life, at the very moment at which all Russia was arming at his order, to defend the faith, the Czar, the country, and its fellow believers in the East— that is to say, all that constitutes our life. In this great moment the hopes of the country are centred in you, Sire. The faithful nobility of St. Petersburg having already ex pressed their sentiments at the first appeal of the de ceased Emperor, repeat them now, and respectfully hasten to deposit at the feet of your Majesty a renewed assurance of the unli m it e d zea l an d d evo t e d ness with which they are ready to sacrifice their lives and fortunes to realise the great idea, of• the deceased Monarch, who drew the sword to fulfil a holy mission. The nobi lity consider this mission as a legacy from the late Em peror to them." The Emperor Alexander replied : " I have much desired to see you, gentlemen, in order to impart to you the words of our deceased bene factor and my father of immortal memory. He was so weak that he could not read your address, but it was read to him by me. Your zeal soothed his dying moments. Thank them, thank them heartily !' said he, tell them that I never doubted of them, and now lam more than ever convinced.' I thank you, gentlemen ; I am convinced that the dying Emperor's words will sink into your hearts. You are the represen tatives of some who are absent ; tell all of them this. We live in grievous times. I was accustomed always to say to the late Emperor, 'I trust in God's grace that he will protect Russia.' I hoped that we should have seen together the day of joy, but God has pleased to ordain it otherwise. On you, gentlemen, I rely with confidence. I reckon on you fully. I -em sure you will not let your nobility be a name, your acts will be noble. Our nobles are not mean-spirited. It must be—l with you, and you with me. (Here the Emperor crossed himself, and continued)—May the Lord help us ! We will not honour Russia. (Here the Emperor advanced, and em braced the spokesman of the party, and added)—ln your persons I thank the entire nobility. Farewell, gentle men. God be with you." A letter from St. Petersburg says :—The Grand Dukes Nicholas and Michael, on their arrival iu this city from the Crimea, went at once to pray by the side of their father's coffin in the church of St. Peter and St. Paul • and they afterwards att en d e d a solemn service offered up for the repose of his soul. Theywere accompanied to the Russian capital by the old General Yormoloff, who has recently been nominated chief of the militia of Moscow. This General never visited St. Petersburg during the lifetime of the Emperor Nicholas, and his pre sence now is considered quite an event. That part of the Czar's manifesto which refers to the projects of Peter the Great, Catherine, Alexander, and Ni cholas has been approved of at Moscow, and the choice of Yermoloff as commander of the militia thero is .considered as a beginning of the realisation of the promises of the manifesto." tON 11:57N*1 t 4 s 4tr 4 ODESSA. The Hamburg correspondent of the Independance Beige contains the following :-- "Letters from Odessa of thelsth confirm my previous announcement of the formation of a new Russian army, specially intended to oppose the advance of Omer Pasha from Eupatoria on Sebastopol. The former commander of the Russian:forces in the Caucasus, General Read, is to be placed at the head of that army. Most of the regiments of the third corps, under his orders, have already reached Perekop, and are quartered in the neighbourhood. The roads, however, were altogether impassable since the thaw, and this circumstance rendered all forward movement of the Russian infantry impracticable for the moment. Several additional polka of regular Cossacks, belonging to the 17th and ISth Regiments, had also arrived at Perekop from the Don, and the main force of those corps was expected there in a short tune. The two Grand Dukes of Russia—Nicho las mill Michael—coming from Seb,k t .,•copol. arrived at St. Petersburg on the 12th to assist at the funeral service of the Emperor Nicholas. They were expected to re turn to the Crimea immediately after the accomplish ment of that pious duty. "The Allied ships, obliged by the stormy weathcr which had prevailed for some days to retire from 13, fore Odessa, had resumed the blockade of the place without having committed, as yet, any serious act of hostility against it. The RussianArtny in Bessarabia, under Ge neral Luders, weakened by the departure of the troops marched via Odessa, to Kischeseff and the Crimea, will be, ere long, completed by the accession of the four divisions of reserve, which have been organised for the purpose on the war footing during the winter. On the pro position of the nobility of the two provinces of St. Peters burg, the Emperor Alexander has appointed comman ders-general of the national militias levied and organised in them, the General of Artillery Yermoloff, and the General of Infantry Prince Scbachowekoi, one of the personages most be beloved by the people of Russia. They both belong to old patrician families, and exercise great influence over the populations of the towns and country ,in those provinces. The militiamen are all armed with muskets, instead of pikes." NORTHAMPTON RACES, (THIS DAY.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPB.) NORTHAMPTON STAKES HUNGERFORD Sixteen ran. STAND PLATE.

ARMY BEFORE SEBASTOPOL COM MITTEE --(THIS DAY.) _ The committee resumed their inquiry this morning at the usual hour. The first witness called was Mr. William H. Flower, and he was examined by Mr. Layard. He stated that he was assistant-surgeon of the 63d Regiment of Foot. The strength of the Regiment -on leaving Ireland was between 1,020 and 1,030. At Scu tari they lost about 50 men, and on landing in the Cri mea the effective force of the regiment was about 980. They had one surgeon and three assistants, which he considered an adequate staff They took out with then a large medicine chest, with a stock of surgical appli ances an 3 other neces aries, but on arriving at Varna it was left there, as there were no means of transport ing it. It was too heavy to have been carried by one of the baggage ponies of the country. They arrived in the Crimea on the 16th September. The supply of medicines, particularly opium and the surgical appliances, which they took with them in panniers, were only sufficient for about three weeks, and were very soon exhausted, there being great demands upon them, especially upon opium. He left the Crimea on the 12th December, and up to that time the medicine chests had not arrived ; but some small supplies were obtained by requisition to the pur veyor. Some bedding was also furnished to them The regiment had ten stretchers at the time of its land ing for the use of the sick and wounded, which he con sidered sufficient. He believed two ambulance waggons were landed, but he did not see them. Two mere were afterwards supplied to them, but be did riot think they were enough. They were very cumbrous and heavy, and the men complained of them. The knapsacks of the men were left behind on board ship when the regi ment landed, but they took some things in their blan kets. Cholera and diarrhoea were the prevalent disew,es which broke out amongst the men, and as many as 20 or 30 were gent-rally sent on board from illness. This number increased to as many as 60 a day after the battle of the Alma. The regiment suffered no loss in that en gagement. Mr. Lavard—Can you describe the state of the field hospitals after the battle of the Alma ? Mr. Flower—They were in a very bad condition, and the sick men were even obliged to be laid in out-houses, and they were often much exposed. The French hos pital was a large farm-house, and was much more com fortable than ours. Tents were supplied to them after wards for hospital purposes ; but the condition of the sick in them was extremely wretched, in consequence of their not being waterproof. The men were much crowded, and their blankets and greatcoats, and other coverings, were completely saturated. The smell was very offensive. The men, if they came in wet, were obliged to lie down in their clothes and get dry how they could. Mr. Layard—Do you attribute much of the mortality to this state of the tents ? Mr. Flower replied that he did. The men suffered principally from dysentery and diarrhoea, but there was never a constant or efficient supply of medicines for the treatment of these diseases. Some medical comforts were supplied to them, and, until lately, fresh meat. The meat was generally boiled. Sometimes salt meat was supplied. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(TIIIS DAY). COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before Vice-Chancellor Stuart.) BAKER V. BRADLEY - JUDGMENT. The Vice-Chancellor gave judgment in this case this morning, which was argued before him in November last. The bill was filed by the plaintiff for the purpose of setting aside two deeds, one for upwards of 1,0001., and the other for 5001., executed by the - plaintiff' to the defendant immediately after he came of age ; and the grounds upon which it was 'sought to impeach the deed were alleged pressure and undue exercise of parental authority, and the suppression of material information. When the plaintiff attained his majority, he became tenant for life of two estates, of the value of from 8001. to 9001. a-year. It appeared that some time previous to that event the plaintiff's father, for the purpose of improving the estate, and also furthering the education of the son, and to fit him to undertake the business of hs father of land sum veyor, had borrowed from the defendants the sum of 1,0001. and 5001., and the defendant having threatened, shortly before the majority of the son, to en'ere3 the payment of the money unless he had further security, the transaction took place and the deeds wire executed which the rule sought to set aside. The Vice-Chan eellor, Ater going at . some • length into the authorities bearing upon the case, stated his deal opinion to be that, looking at the whole transaction, there was nothing unfair or improper in it ; that the father, in the course he Lad pursued, bad considerably furthered the interests of his son, in improving the estate and his education by the sums he bad expended, and that the course adopted was, in the opinion of hit.. Honour, a very proper family arrangement, and one from which considerable advantage bad accrued to the plaintiff. The Court, therefore, was of opinion that the case of the plaintiff bad failed in every particular, and the bill must be dismissed with costs. MORE FRENCH TROOPS FOR THE CRIMEA.—We are informed, upon good authority, that the Emperor of the French has agreed to send 50,000 additional troops to the Crimea, if it should be necessary after the Vienna Congress, on the condition that England shall find the vessels to convey them. MONEY IN ALGIERS.—A large quantity of gold coin has within the last few months been introduced into Al geria, and it is readily accepted by Europeans in thei, commercial transactions. But the Arabs, being igno rant of its value, refuse to receive it, and insist on Wag paid in sf. pieces. This has caused a perfect drain of such pieces, and great inconvenience has been the con sequence The Arabs formerly felt as much repugnance to the sf. pieces as they now do to the gold pieces ; and it was then necessary to pay them in Spanish piastres or Austrian talari. (The talari is a Venetian coin, worth somewhat over 5f., 'and not much circulated except in the Levant). LORD CARDIGAN AT YEOVIL.—The Earl of Cardigan arrived at Yeovil on Friday evening, en route from Exeter to Dorchester, and met with an enthusiastic re ception from the inhabitants, who, having learned that it was his intention to remain for a night in the town, thronged the railway station in great numbers, awaiting his arrival. As soon as his lordship entered the carriage the horses were taken out, and, headed by a band of music, he was drawn to the Mermaid Hotel; amidst the loud acclamations of those assembled. The noble earl addressed the meeting from the hotel in acknowledgment of his cordial reception, ROYAL MAIL STEAM -PACKET COMPANY.—Yesterday a special general meeting of the proprietors in this com pany was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the purpose of electing an auditor in the room of Captain Whish, R.N., resigned. Captain Join Shep herd, R.N., presided. The chairman said the only application that the directors bad received to fill the office of auditor was from Mr. John Capel, of Throgmor ton•street. The secretary having read Mr. Capers letter, and no proprietor proposing any other candidate, Mr. Capel was elected auditor. LETTERS FOR CANADA. GENERAL POST -OFFICE, MARCH, 1855.—Under the present temporary arrange ments for the conveyance of the mails between this country and Canada, and until the regular weekly communication by the British contract mail packets shall be resumed, all letters addressed to Canada, which are not specially directed to be sent "By British Packet," or "By United States' Packet," and upon which the postage has not been paid in advance, will be forwarded by the first packet leaving the United Kingdom, whether such packets belong to the British or to the United states' Mail line. This arrange ment will apply only to unpaid letters for Canada. Wilh regard to paid letters, as the postage chargeable by the two lines of packets is different, the single rate being Bd. by British packet and is. 2d. by United States packet, the sum prepaid will be regarded as an indica tion of choice on the part of the sender, and letters will be forwarded by the United States line of packets only when paid at the rate of ls. 2d. the half-ounce. The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa states that since the return of Gen. La Marmora from Paris, the number of Piedmontese troops that are to proceed to the Crimea has been raised from 15,000 to 17,000. A Paris letter in the Independance of Brussels an nounces that Mlle. Rachel, whose intended departure for the United States was mentioned some time since, is compelled to give up her projects. According to the let ter in question the Minister of State did not wish that Paris, at a moment when all the world will be flocking to it, should loose one of its brighteet ornaments. Re bas used his authority to retain her in France, as he has the power of doing by the decree of the Emperor Napoleon I. from Moscow, in which it is said that every societaire of the Theatre Francais on entering shall engage to play for twenty years, and after that period may retire. The twenty years date from the fled debut just before the admission takes place. As Mlle. Rachel made her first appearance on the 12th June, 1838, she belongs to the company until the 11th I June, 1858. Mlle. Brocard, ex-soci4taire of the Comedie Francaise, has just died at Ccaumes (Somme), where she has resided for the last 20 years.

In reply to a qms tion, the President of the Council of Mil ist , rs has declared th,t it was quite true that the difference with the Porte was approaching its termination. The news of the death of the Emperor of Russia caused the greatest consternation in this city. The Russian party at first endeavoured to throw discredit on the account, by affirming that' it was not the Emperor, but the Empress that was dead, but the truth was soon ascertained. Brigandage, although for a moment checked, appears to be again gaining ground in Greece. On the very night that the news of the Czar's death reached this city, a band of about 40 men, under a noted chief named Passayottis, placed themselves in ambush at about half an hour's distance from the capital at a place where the roads from adjoining villages meet, and by which the country people brought their produce to market. Every one that passed was stopped and robbed. The men were beaten, and the women taken into an old church by the roadside and most shamefully treated. The number stopped and robbed by these ruffians before they dispersed was upwards of 200. While this was going on some other brigands made a de monstration in another point, to draw off the attention of the armed force." The Oost. Deutsehe Post of yesterday evening stated that, on the 21st, Spain and Pottugal had j o i n ed 0o great coalition against Russia, but some n o tr f y th i e s news,doubts i n a r a e s e f n a t r e iae~ia as the n s rs t t o -m th e e nt e i o o r n r e e d ct correctness concerned. Official confirmation relative to Portu gal has, however, been obtained this afternoon. We learn from Trieste that the Russians have again permitted Austrian vessels to run up to Galatz, where considerable quantities of corn are lying ready for exportation. The ships of no other nation enjoy the same privilege. It is also related here that a note has been received from Count Nesselrode, in which that statesman states that it is not the inten tion of the Russian Government to prevent the navigation of the Lower Danube. The Russian Minister, however, requires that the Austrian Mi nister of Commerce shall exercise a proper control over the commanders of the merchantmen, so that they shall not supply provisions to the Powers at war with Russia. It need not be said that the thing is not feasible. The Universal German Gazette states that a note, dated the Ist,, has been addressed by Count Nesselrode to the Cabinet of Vienna, declaring that Russia has no intention of preventing Aus trian vessels from navigating the Danube, but that the measures lately taken were intended to prevent the conveyance of contraband of war to the forces of the Allied Powers. The Trieste Gazette of the 20th publishes 'a tele graphic despatch from Bucharest, announcing that Russia has, by way of exception, granted permis sion to Austrian vessels to export corn of 1853, provided the nationality of the vessel be satisfac torily proved, and caution-money be deposited with the consuls, as a security that the grain is intended for an Austrian port.
