It is entitled " Marriage Law Amendment Bill." There are eight sections in the measure. The preamble declares that it is " expedient" to amend the law as to marriage with a deceased wife's sister or a deceased wife's niece. The bill proposes to repeal so much of any act or acts of Parliament as renders void or voidable any marriage celebrated between a man and his deceased wife's sister or niece. Such marriages before the passing of this (in tended) act are not to be " void or voidable" by reason only of the affinity of the parties thereto. To enable such marriages to be celebrated under the 6 and 7 Wm. IV., c. 85, the affinity stated is to be no lawful impediment. There is a provision as to accepted cases where marriage was already illegal, and another provision as to property, which has already become vested in consequence of the impediment now existing with respect to marriages with a deceased wife's sister or niece. The act is not to effect settlements of personal property under wills or testa ments administered to before the passing of the same. The law and discipline of the United Church of Eng land and Ireland, or of the Church of Scotland, are net to be affected. Neither of the parties to any marriage between a man and his deceased wife's sister or niece by reason of the affinity between the parties is to be liable to any censure or punishment. It is proposed to extend the new law to Scotland. The bill stands for the second reading ou the Bth proximo. LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 21, 1856. THE BREAKING-UP OF THE ICE AT ST. LOUIS.-FEARFUL CATASTROPHE. (From, the St. Louis Republican, Feb. 27.) Yesterday morning the apprehensions of all con • nected with the river were excited by a despatch from Alton, stating that a rise of 10 feet had taken place at that point, caused by back water from the Missouri, which was pouring out a tremendous current, the gorge below St. Charles having been swept away. Predictions were then made that the ice here would break up about three or four o'clock p.m., when the rise would have had time to reach this point. Accordingly, every boat com menced preparing for the crisis, by shipping a crew, and getting up steam. For several hours all was ex pectancy 4nd suspense on the levee. Until 11 o'clock a.m. the river continued to fall, probably on account of a gorge having given way below. The river then commenced rising rapidly, and at 2 o'clock p.m. had risen about three feet. Almost all the boats at the levee had steam up, and were turning their wheels. Tce now commenced running in large cakes, and lodging against the gorge at the foot of Washington avenue. The current became very rapid and swept and boiled under the gorged ice in 'the whirlpools, carrying much of the floating ice with it. The ferry boats across the river commenced whistling almost continually, and thousands of persons were attracted to the levee, all anxious to see the first movement of the ice. The boatmen were pnerally on boa , d of their boats. Presently the F. X. Aubry (s), lying at the extreme upper end of the levee, raised a long whistle, and exclamations of " The ice is coming," were passed through the crowd, the whole length of the levee. The excitement now became in tense, and the store windows were suddenly seen crowded with spectators, many of whom were ladies. The first object that attracted attention was an old stove, which came down on a large piece of ice, which was instantly capsized and sunk. Then came an old steam-boat hull, which, when it struck the gorge, was turned bottom upwards and carried under the ice. It swung around against one of the Alton wharf-boats, and together with a large field of ice, which came just behind it, broke the fastenings of the boat, and drove it forcibly onshore. The crowd, who had collected on the wharf-boats for a near view of the scene, immediately scattered, and at this moment, ten minutes past 2 o'clock, the whole body of ice opposite the city commenced moving in an unbroken mass. There was one si multaneous shout, and the crowd became quiet awaiting the result. The fire-bells were tolled, and the news that the ice was moving spread like wild fire through the city. The crowds of spectators became immense. Foot passengers had continued to cross on the ice up to the time of its moving, and about twenty persons were overtaken while crossing on the thorough fare at the foot of Chesnut-street. They made their best possible speed to reach shore, and we believe all gained a safe landing, and had no time to spare. The ice at first moved very slowly, and without any perceptible shock. The boats lying above Chesnut-street were merely shoved on shore, and for the first five nights sustained no damage. Messrs. Eads and Nelson's Submarine No. 4, which had just finished her work at the wreck of the Parthenia, was almost immediately capsized, and became herself a hopeless wreck. The Sub marine floated down lying broadside against the Federal Arch, which boat was being wrecked and of little value. Here the destruction commenced. The Federal Arch parted her fastenings, and at once became a total wreck. Lying below the steamers Australia, Adriatic, Brunette, Paul Jones, Falls City, Altoona, A. B. Chambers, and Challenge, all of which were torn away from the shore, and in company with the Submarine and Federal Arch floated down with the immense field , of ice. This fleet of ten boats was more or less damarted at starting, by crowding against one another. All the upper works of the Brunette and Australia were torn to pieces, and the Altona was badly damaged. The shock of the crashing of these boats when they were driven together can be better imagined than described. All their ample fastenings were as nothing against the enor mous flood of ice, and they were carried down ap parently fastened and wedged together. The first obstacles with which they came in contact were a large fleet of wood-boats, barges, and canal boats. These small fry were either broken to pieces or forced out of the water upon the levee in a very damaged condition. We are not able to state the number, but there could not be short of 50 in all, which were either sunk, broken to pieces, or car ried away with the descending boats. About 20 of them met with the latter fate, and the whole fleet lodged about one mile below, against the point of the island at the Lower Dyke. The Adriatic lost one of her wheels by swinging against the Falls City, after they landed upon the bar below. The Falls City is very badly damaged The Panl Jones was also badly damaged. The A. B. Chambers sustained but slight damage. The Challenge did not fare so well and was badly injured. After these boats had passed down the Bon Ac cord and Highland Mary, lying together, were car ried off, and are both a total loss. The New St. Paul,' on the docks, was slightly damaged, and part of the docks wore swept away from her. The High land Mary struck against the Die Vernon, da maging the latter boat considerably. The Louis ville was also torn away from her moorings, and at last accounts was lying broadside on across the cur rent, with the other boats below. She is probably a total loss. The Lamartine was carried away in the same manner, and will doubtless be lost. The Westerner broke her fastenings and swung against the Jeannie Deans, injuring the latter bo'itt consi derably. Of the other boats, in what was consi-, dered the safe harbour above the dyke, there is scarcely one that did not receive some slight injury by the contact of the fleet as it passed down, but their damages were comparatively slight, and they are thought to be safe from further harm. Some of the boats lying above Chesnut-street fared badly in the meantime. The F: X. Aubry was forced into the bank, and had her larboard wheel broken. The noble Nebraska, which every one thought in a most perilous situation, lost her larboard wheel, and was not otherwise much in jured. The Gossamer, Luella, Alice, and Badger State were forced on shore and slightly 7 damaged. Both the Alton wharf boats were sunk and broken to pieces. The old Shenandoah being wrecked, and the Sam Cloon, were forced away from shore and floated down together against the steamer Clara. The Clara did not part her fastenings, and the Cloon and Shenandoah lodged, where they were soon torn to pieces and sunk by the ice and one of the ferry boats, which came floating down alone. The ferry boat floated on down to the foot of Mar ket-street, carrying part of the Shenandoah with her. The steamers Clara and Ben Bolt were both badly damaged by the ice, and forced partly on shore. The G. W. Sparhawk was sunk, and looked as if broken in two, lying at the shore. The Keo kuk wharf boat maintained its position against the flood, and saved three boats below, viz., the Polar Star, J. S. Pringle, and Forest Rose, none of which were, up to this time, materially injured. After running about an hour, the character of the ice was changed, and it came down in a frothy crumbled condition, with au occasional heavy piece. At the end of two hours it was very slowly, and finally stopped about half-past five p.m. During this interval a number of passengers crossed it from the ferry landing on Bloody Island. They were chiefly passengers by one of the trains just arrived, and desirous of reaching the city while they had an opportunity. The experiment was a daring one, but they all landed safely on this side. Just before the river gorged, huge piles of ice, 20 and 30 feet in height, were forced up by the current on every hand, both on the shore and at the Lower Dyke, where so many of the boats had come to a halt. In fact, those boats seemed to be literally buried in ice. The ice had not been broken below Cahokia Bend, and all the drift thus far had gorged between the city and that point. Hence its sudden stop. At six &clock p.m. the river had risen at least ten feet. This suspension of the ice• was considered unfavourable, as it would doubtless soon start again with increased weight and force. The thousands of spectators who had collected on the levee began to disperse as darkness fell upon the devastation scattered . around, fully assured that the morning would present a wider scene of destruction. There was no way of forming an estimate of the amount of damage that had been done, and no conjecturing that which was to come. The terrible sweep of water, with its burden of ice —the smashing to pieces of boats—the hurrying to and fro of the excited crowd, was one of the most awful and at the same time imposing scenes we ever witnessed. The officers and crews of many of the boats went down the current with them—the lookers-on became alarmed, and sprang from boat to boat in a rush for the shore, and we heard it rumoured that two or three lives were lost in the general melee. The captains and owners of canal, flat-boats a and *agog god s leayin their property to the mercy of circumstances. They could evi dently do nothing to save it. About seven o'clock p.m. the gorge below sunk, and the ice commenced running again. The cur rent was now much more swift than it had been before, and the night was very dark, a heavy and steady rain having set in. It is now impossible to tell how many boats have been damaged, or to what amount. Of the boats that remained at the wharf at dark, the following have been sunk or swept down by the tide : Regulator, F. X. Aubry, N. L. Milburn, Alice, Luella, Clara, Ben Bolt, G. W. Sparhawk, sunk—Pole Star, J. S. Pringle, loaded for new Orleans—and Forest Rose • leaving only three boats, the Gossamer, Badger giate, and Ne braska, at the levee. We are utterly at a loss to tell how any of the above-named boats have fared, or to what point they will be carried. From a messenger who has returned fr3in the arsenal we learn that the steam ers Adriatic and A. B. Chambers are lying in a slough, just above the arsenal, 'safe. The Falls City has gone to the east side of the island. C ,rrected estimate of vessels sunk and property destroyed : (From the St. Louis Intelligencer, Feb. 28.) There are numbers of our citizens, as well as others at a distance from St. Louis, who have formed erroneous opinions in reference to the ex tent of the damage done to the steam-boats during the late terrible catastrophe, and in order to im part correct information to our readers, we have made out a statement of the facts, which may be relied upon as correct.

The following petition has been addressed to the Porte relative to the Moldavian frontier : "On the eve of the important Conferences which are to regulate, in Paris, the general conditions of peace, and to insure, by a new and definitive fixation of the frontier in the East, the repose and security of Europe, we ad dress ourselves with confidence to the benevolent pro tection of the Sultan, our august Sovereign, humbly ex pressing to him our wishes, in order that ho may promote their realisation, which is not less important to the com mon interests of the great European family than to the private advantage of the Austrian propositions, accepted by Russia, this power is to surrender the portion of the territory of Bessarabia, beginning at:Chotym and following the line of mountains as far as Lake Sasyk. We take the liberty to observe that the mountains therein mentioned are a succession of low hills, which become still lower as they approach the south, where they decline into an immense marshy plain, without any natural boundary, fortress, or obstacle calculated to serve as the basis of defensive operations. Such a frontier, which a great military power could with difficulty defend, would offer but an illusive protection to a feeble State like Moldavia, and would not even admit of the establishment of a Cus toms line. But, independently of these reasons, of which it appears impossible to question the exactness, a more grave and important consideration, involving a question of high morality, appears to us to point out the Dniester, our former limit, as the only prudent, rational, and poli tical solution that can be arrived at. Bessarabia, an in tegral porti"n of Moldavia, was violently separated from it by the treaty of Bucharest in 1812, to be incorporated with the Russian empire. Nevertheless, by the conven tion of 1512, enter into by Selim 11., of glorious memory,, with Bogdan, son of Stephen the Great, Prince of Mol-. davia, the Sublime Porte bound itself to defend and maintain the territorial integrity of Moldavia, the pri vileges and immunities of the inhabitants, and the in ternal independence of the Principality. The treaty of Bainardji, concluded between the Sublime Porte and Russia in 1774, and the treaty of Jassy, signed in 1791 between the same Powers, conferred on Russia the right of protecting the Principalities. Now, that right of pro tection, such as it results from the very stipulations of treaties and of several hatti-sherifs, particularly that of 1802, issued at the special request of Russia, has been expressly recognised, in order the better to secure and guarantee the territorial integrity of 'Moldavia, the north eastern boundary of which, agreeably to those conven ventions, was to be formed by the Dniester. " How then could Russia, the protectress of the Prin cipalities, the voluntary guardian of their privileges and their territorial integrity, have legitimately despoiled them of that same territory which she has so solemnly guaranteed 'I " How, after so many precautions against the Porte, with the object of confirming still more the principle of our integrity, could the protecting Power have recog nised the right to violate it by an exemption in its own favour and in its special interest " How could the state of war between the Porte and. Russia have, in 1812, been the just motive, to the pre judice of our Principality, for the violation of rights for mally admitted by the first of these Powers and guaran teed by the second " Good faith, equity, the security of Europe, which is interested in giving us a frontier which can be easily defended, and which by a fixed and natural limit may re move all chances of dispute, the community of origin, language, manners—all, in fine, prove our indefeasible right to recover our ancient limits to the Dniester. " We supplicate the Sublime Porte ,to weigh well those considerations, and to support them energetically with the Allies, with Russia herself, which, thanks to the spirit of wisdom and moderation that now seems to direct the councils of her young and august Sovereign, may reconsider a measure arbitrarily adopted at a pe riod of crisis and of violent wars. She cannot but admit that it behoves a great nation to repair an act of injus tice ; that it becomes the ancient protectress of a weak, but a Christian and orthodox people like herself, to re store to her entire the province whose security had been placed under her guardianship."

THE LATE DUEL AT BERLIN. The North Prussian Gazette, of the 17th inst., contains the following declaration, sent to it for publication by Herr von Rochow, of Krahne, the brother of Herr von Hinckeldey's opponent : " The accounts, partly incorrect and partly false, that have been circulated concerning the cause of the dael be tween the Director General of Police, Herr von Hinckeldey, and Herr yen Rochow, of Plessow, make it incumbent on me, as the brother of the latter, to make known the follow ing particulars, the truth of which: in every sense I guaran tee. The conduct of the police towards the members of the Jockey Club in the month of June last year induced my brother to lodge a complaint, which led to the punish• ment, for breach of discipline, and the removal of Herr D—, the lieutenant of police, and it afforded to my brother the satisfaction of seeing the official acts of Herr D condemned as unjustifiable, and as injurious to the parties who had suffered by them. In a convention that took place respecting this affair between my brother, accompanied by Herr , and the Director-General of Police, you Hinckeldey, the latter made to them a commu nication which my brother considered himself bound after he had taken down the expresious, and verified their accuracy by written and verbal conference with Herr —, to repeat to two other gentlemen, the parties most concerned. One of these gentlemen, belonging to the military profession, considered himself obliged in con sequence to lay the case before the Council of Honour, which step caused the putting of a question to Herr von Hinckeldey. In reply, Harr von Hinckeldy declared offi cially that he had not made that communication to Herr von Rochow and Herr —. The military tribunal above named, upon receiving this answer, declined proceeding further in the affair. Through Herr von Hinckeldey'e official declaration, my brother lay under the imputation of having uttered an untruth ; but being, on his side, con vinced that he had strictly and faithfully reported the ex pressions of Her you Hinckeldey, he complained through the official channel, and demanded, by stating the affair and bringing forward Herr as a witness, that Herr von Hinckeldey should be made acquaintedwith his plaint, and that he should be induced to make each a declaration as to render it possible for hiss (the complainant) to alter his opinion that Herr von Hinckeldey had officially uttered an untruth. This plaint led to various other steps, but in the cause itself to no further result than the judicial decision, imparted to my brother, that ne reason appeared for officially prosecuting the matter. In the course of these negotiations it transpired that Herr von Hinckeldey thought and maintained that his communica tion bad not been as represented, and that it did not boar the construction put on it by Messrs. von Rochow and —, bat that he had merely made it hypothetically, and, moreover, confidentially. This latter assertion was not assented to by my brother ; on the contrary, it was de clared positively by him, as well as by Herr —, that Herr von Hinckeldey had made no appeal to the discretion of himself or Herr —, in so far as the expression was concerned, but solely for another part of the conversition, and upon this point ho and Herr were entirely agreed from the vary first, when the purport of the conversation in question was verified between them. My brother attached such importance to this point that he made the omission of it by Herr von Hinckeldey the condition of a settlement sought to be arranged by the mediation of a third party. This condition was also accepted by Herr von Hinckeldey, and thus an understanding was effected respecting tho con tents of a declaration which the latter was to make touch ing the disputed expression that had given rise to the proceedings. But an understanding could not be effected respecting the form in which this declaration was to be drawn up. The case appeared quite as little to the judi cial authorities as it did to Herr von Hinckeldey to war rant a legal plaint, even on the grounds of private wrong, although my brother emphatically repudiated the insinua tion made of his wishing to provoke a duel, and although he expressly resorted to this judicial mode of vindication. Under inch circumstances, my brother thought he need entertain no scruple of presenting to one of the gentlemen named above, who requests it, a copy of the resolution adopted by the military tribunal, declining the mediation of the Council of Honour, together with comments of his own on the steps actually taken or intended to be taken by himself with the authorities iu order to obtain au offi cial settlement. Having been made acquainted with the resolution in question, Herr von Hinckeldey sent my bro ther a challenge to fight a duel with pistols. The issue of that duel has been already made known by the umpire, Herr v. d. Marwitz, whose statement was published in No. 61 of the New Prussian Gazette for the 12th of March, this year. " A. vox RocuoW, of Krahne. " Berlin, March 17, 1856." LORD ST.

Sugden (now Lord St. Leonards), on about the month of December, 1844, relating to the finances of the Irish Gout t of Chancery. This paper contains sundry suggestions on matters of detail, including arrangements respecting salaries, the appointing of a taxing-officer, and other points of a simi lar character. PILOTAGE RETUENS.—A blue-book of 300 pages, just out, contains voluminous returns of the by-laws and regulations relating to pilots and pilotage, the names and ages of pilots, the rates of pilotage in force, and the amou nts received for pilotage at the various ports. It appears that the total amount received for piloting ves sels into the port of London in the year 1854 was 81,5511. on British and fDreign ships. The total amount received for piloting vessels out of the said Fert of L. . don in 1354 was 36,061/. These returns were ordered to be printed last August, but have only just made their appearance.

MASTER MAGNESS. This celebrated individual, so well known at the Con and by most families of distinction, especially at the West-end, and throughout the county of Surrey, was, discovered on Saturday night last, a corpse, lying nem the steamboat-pier of the river Thames, at Putney. The event has caused a, painful sensation throughout the eni tire districts of -Putney, Roehampton, and Richmond. Mr. Carter, the coroner for Surrey, having received information of the melancholy event, that gentleman held an inquest yesterday on the body of the unfortu nate deceased. Louisa, the wife of Charles Harlon, a coachman, re siding at Putney, said that on the night of Saturday List at half-past eight o'clock, in consequence of her hus band having b een drinking a little at the Star and Garter Inn, she proceeded towards the house for the purpose of getting him home, when, as she passed down the alley by the side of the Bell Tavern, intending to pass along the towing-path to the Star and Garter, she saw a male person lying of i his face, and his bat about a yard from his head, under the terrace wall. Hearing footsteps ap proaching, she waited until she saw a man coming np the towing-path from the direction of the Star and Gar ter, when she called to that person. Upon his arrival the head of the gentleman was raised, and witness found that it was the deceased Mr. Magness, who she knew re• sided at the Rose and Crown at Putney. There was feam at the mouth, as if he was in a fit, bat, however, he was motionless. She proceeded to the house, and gave the alarm. The business of the house was managed by his daughter and her husband. Mr. Turner, his son-in-las, proceeded to ;the place, and, with assistance, the 61. i. ceased was taken home, being found quite dead. The daughter, upon being sworn, said that the de ceased was her father. His name was James Magness, and he was 59 years of age and had resided in that house. A quarter of an hour before he was brought home, he left their bar-parlour, having lighted a fresh cigar, and as he went out by the side door she playfully patted him on the back and closed the door after him ; but did not notice which way he went. On that day he was per fectly sober, but had been to Wandsworth to obt-sin a renewal of his licence, which had been deferred for an other fortnight, some allusion having been made that he was not, but that his son-in-law was the ac ual occu pier, when his presence was required before the bench. On his return home he seemed rather excited, and after partaking of a glass of sherry. be proceeded on horseback to see the race between the Oxford and Cambridge clubs. The only bet he had on the match was for a glass of brandy-and-water. After the match he returned home, and during the remainder of the day appeared still somewhat excited, and spoke of the further postponement of the renewal of his licence, but made no complaint of feeling ill. She further deposed that for some time he had been labouring under an affection of the heart, and was taking medicine for it, having consulted two physicians upon the state of his heart. Upon his person was foundhis gold watch, valued at 1001., presented to him by some of his 1 former o ld pupilsbr e a as t a mark of respect for his high character. u pin, shirt studs, and his money were found to b e all safe.s The learned Coroner remarked that it Was fortunateat ' the deceased had fallen into honest hands • if he h and the property bad been taken fro m him, it would h n a o ve , led to an apprehension that h e h a d been attacked, rob bed, and killed. The jury returned a verdict of natiral death, no doubt accelerated by the excitement he had that day undergone. The proceedings then terminated. GOOD FRlDAY.—Yesterday Mr. Bokenham, con toiler of the C ircu l at i on D epar t men t of the Post-office, issued orders for a half-holyday today ; consequently there will be no delivery of letters within the limits of the London district post this afternoon. The collec tion of letters and newspapers from the branch offices and receiving houses will take place in the evening, so that they may be forwarded by the general post and fo reign mails, as also the night collection, for despatch by the morning mails. No business will be transacted in the money-order department of the Post-office. The day will be observed as a holyday at the Bank of England, the Stock Exchange, Royal Exchange, and all the pri vate banks ; at the Government offices, the Inland Re venue, Customs, and all the public docks, and the courts of law and STAMFORD, March 18.—Last evening, Mr. Augustus Stafford, M.P., appeared before a large audience at the Assembly-rooms in this town, to give an account of two expeditions undertaken by him to the Crimea in two suc ceeding years—viz., in 1854 and 1855—in which, as he remarked, he found at the same place and among the same people a state of things so utterly different. After a few prefatory observations, the lecturer said he should begin his narrative at Marseilles, proceed 'thence to the Crimea, and then conduct them to that place which had been the subject of so many sympathies—Scutari. He embarked on the 2d Sept. last at Marseilles, on board the Uccle, an English transport, with 760 French troops. Cholera was in the town when they sailed, and eight hours afterwards it broke out among the troops on board. As they steamed southward the heat increased, and so did the cholera. This large number of men had been sent out without any medicine whatever. Not possessing the silent fortitude of English soldiers, their cries were most piteous.. On reaching Malta, the state of the ship was so horrible that he almost deter mined to quit it; but, at the urgent request of many poor sufferers, he was induced to stay with them. Cholera then began among the English sailors. After briefly glancing at the scenes which ensued before the close of the voyage, the lecturer remarked that the French transport system is not, with all cur faults, so good as ours. It was told him by a French officer on beard, and it had been confirmed indirectly by many per sons who had opportunities of ascertaieing the Fan e statistics, that the French bad lost between J uly, 1854, and July, 1855—slain in battle, left dead on the field, 12,000 ;died afterwards of wounds received in battle, 7,000 ; sent home with loss of limb or broken in constitution, 25,000 ; died ofdisease, chiefly diarrhoea, cho- lora, and dysentery, 60,000—total loss, about 105,000, exclusive of all who hal Leen killed or died dtiring the last seven months. "But," added his informant, "we do not put this in the newspapers ; we only report a loss of 20,000. You English know too much about your army ; we kaow too little." The hon. member then de. scribed Balaklava harbour, stating that he should think the bay was not above 400 acres in extent. The first view he had of Sebastopol—he spoke as a civilian--mails him wonder why our at my did not advance and take it at ones, and 10 minutes' explanation from an artillery officer tulle him despair of taking it at all. He went through the town after it was taken, and he must Fay that the evidences of the civilisation of Russia, judging from that town, nearly, if not fully, equalled anything in this country ; and, though we were at war with Russia, he could not ride through Sebastopol without a sigh to see so many homestead; so utterly laid waste. It was sur prising to see the east amount of earth which had been raised to the top of the Mame!on and of the Redan in the face of the enemy. This teas as wonderful to our engine r s as it was wonderful to our Commissariat ?tow the Russians bad been able to feed so vast an army with the sea supply entirely cut off. Bearing these facts in mind. he joust Fay he thought that history would award t m glory to the defenders rather than to the besiegers of Sehastopol. While he wag standing near the Green-hill a t ry a cannon shot came by him, and it struck him that it was like the sound of crisp snow driven sharply over ice. The hon. member next described " that most miserable village of Balaklava," the infamous extortions practised by Maltese, lonian, and Italian stellkeepers in its street=, and the horrors of its hospital, where he found cureons quarrelling with orderlies, and orderlies with surge° le, while -their wretched patients died. No ar rangemen's wet() male for tl • e-nbarkation of the sick at Balakia , a. Sometini' s the French were obliged to c sriy down oar sick to the shore ; there were not suffi cient boats to embark them when they got to the shore, and when the transp its came the unfortunate creatures had to lie cn the hart beards until the skin was worn off their joints by the friction occasioned by the motion of the vessel. You might trace the course of these tran sports from Balaklava harbour to the entrance of the B sphorus by the skeletons of the miserable sick thrown overboard on the way. On arriving in the Bosphorus, owing to the insufficiency of accommodation, three or four days sometimes elapsed before the sufferers could be!landed ; when they did land there were ne arrange ments for supplying thim with food, or for their recep tion in the hospitals ; and, between one thing and ano ther, he had known them to be from 4 o'clock in the afternoon until 12 the next day without anything to eat. Altogether, so dire was the aspect of affairs at Scutari that it seemed as if Heaven had forsaken us, and as if our sins bad given us over to destruction. At thin junctare came Florence Nightingale, and then order arose out of chaos. Our story brightened from the arri val of that lady there. He was at Scutari in the autumn of 1854, and then he saw the horrors which all had heard described, and which he would not attempt to describe again. He was there in the autumn of 155, and all was changed. Confusion had given place to order, filth to cleanliness, the aggravation or neglect of every human suffering to the mitigation of all the evils of war. But there was one thing not changed. He found among our soldiers the same good feeling, the same noble demea nour, the same heroic spirit that he witnessed the year before. And there was another thing not changed ; for in the same little room, with no luxuries and very few comforts, engaged in her ceaseless work, there he found Florence Nightingale. Considering the difficulties she had bad to contend with, she bad 'been one of the few that had not disappointed England. He was in the French tent hospital at the front of the camp, and they owned that in the comforts and lu:turies supplied to the sick and wounded they could no longer compete with us. He asked Miss Nightingale, " Wh at do you think of the soldiers now'" She said, " They have their faults, and those who in their several positions: in life may feel that they have a little neglected the education of the lower orders will be the last to blame those brave men for the faults they do possess ; but they reanond to kindness and they recognise discipline, and, for ourselves, we have never heard from them one word oar seen one gesture that might not have teen fitted for the drawing-room. They have been to us, and to all the ladies, gentlemen and Christians." He asked one poor fellow what he thought of Miss Nightingale, and the reply was, "Well, I hope she will go up to Heaven before she dies." After glancing at the burial-place at Scutari, where as many as 80 corpses were occasionally co:nsigned coffinless to the earth at cne time, the hon. member concluded an eloquent and highly-interesting lecture with a glowing tribute to the memory of the brave men who had so nobly fought and died for their country—themselves descendants of the heroes who fought at Agincourt, at Blenheim, and at Waterloo. The lecture was listened to with marked attention throughout, and frequently elicited hearty applause. BUSINESS PROSPECT 3. (From the New York Herald.) The business season is beginning. The hotels are filling up ; and, choked as the streets are, carts are be• ginning to travel to and fro with bales of goods. A steady influx of arrivals from the west are eulivening the business wards, and the new corners are, for the most part, well provided with plethoric purses, fruit of the bounteous crop of last year. Our arrivals from sea are not so numerous as usual, owing to the severe weather, but many heavy laden vessels are hourly expected, and the wharves will soon present their accustomed scene of spring activity. It is possible—it is probable—that we are entering upon a period of prosperity such as even our past history can hardly parallel. There perhaps never was a time when so many elements of prosperity bade fair to concur for our benefit. Past well-being and past suffering alike conspire for our advantage. We have the vantage ground of 1853 to start from in the new race ; and the depression of 1:54 and 1855 has husbanded our resources, strengthened our prudence, weeded out unprofitable enterprises, nar rowed our expenditure. Nor is the almost certain cessa tion of the war in Europe less opportune. That prodi gious calamity has been felt from the Caspian to Lake Superior, from the Himalayas to the Rocky Mountains, producing everywhere alarm, distrust, inertia. It has east a shade over every great enterprise even in this country ; abroad it has involved immense sacrifices of commercial means, paralysed industry, and led to au extensive system of hoarding. Peace dissolves these fatal influences, checks these injurious habits, restores confidence, and unlocks the treasure vault. At home everything points to good times. Since the month of February, 1853, we must have received from Californla fully 150 millions of gold, of which we have not reported over 100 millions. Fifty millions have re mained here, swelling the stock of specie in the country by that amount. Our accounts by the Webster and Illinois announce that the prospects of the mines were never so promising as at present, and assure that the export this year will not fall short of fifty mil lions. A like production of gold is guaranteed to us from Australia. A much larger sum will probably come to light when the people of Germany and France and Russia bring out their gold from its hiding places, and put it again into trade or interest paying securities. Nor have the elements thus far proved unpropitious. The heavy storms of the winter have for a time checked commercial intercourse, and will thus concentrate busi ness transactions into the spring months. It is probable that the sales of the wholesale merchants during the next three months will be larger than they ever were during a like period before. They will be only limited by the supplies of the importers, which are and must remain small in consequence of the stagnation of foreign manufactured goods. But !the severe winter has been far more useful in another respect. The heavy falls of snow which have extended from Canada to south of Mason and Dixon's line insure us —unless some unforeseen disaster should occur —a bountiful crop. Farmers are confident that this year's crop will even be greater than that of last year. Politically, what is the prospect ? Some persons talk about war with England. We might prove it impossible; but as no man of sense expects anything of the kind, we will say no more about it. Uneasiness is felt in certain quarters about the falling off in emigration. It does not seem very likely that the number of emigrants will fall short of 130,000, at the worst ; and, really, after the immense importations of the raw material we have had of late years, a return to moderation will be beneficial. Those also are here will be the better able to improve the land. The country's progress will be steadied and consolidated. And that running sore—pauperism — which is less to be feared on account, of its immediate i than its contingent at all eyents be healed. MR. LA YARD AT ABERDEEN. Yesterday Mr. Layard, M.P., was reinstated as Lord Rector of Marischal College and University, Aberdeen. In the morning he was entertained at a public break fa=t, and had a most flattering reception. On the sub ject of the war he said, " There is every probability that by the end of the month we shall hive a treaty of peace signed. Very few public men desiXe war, and peace in the abstract is certainly more to be wished for, but I have no confidence that the present peace will be upon the whole a satisfactory one, and there is scarcely a man to be found from the Land's-eta' to John.o-Groat's but would like another year of war—(great cheering)-- and for these reasons ; first, the political aspect of the question ekes not warrant us to expect a lasting peace, and, second, now we are fully prepared for it, another year's war would show thie world that there is that in Englishmen which would conquer every difficulty. (Cheers.) If we have peace now matters will be left in pretty much the same state as that in which we found them. (Hear.) Tree, we have protected Turkey against Russian aggression in the Black Sea ; but, so far as the great questions of civil and religious liberty are con. cerned, they remain pretty much the same as they were before the war began, and therefore, I think, the peace will be premature. _ _ The installation took place at two o'clock in the great Bali of the University, and was a most successful affair. AWFUL DEATH OF AN ATTENDANT UPON NAPOLEON THE FIRST. Yesterday Mr, William Carter, the coroner :or Sur rey, held an inquest, in the Board-room of Lambeth Workhouse, on the body of Ann Coleman, aged 75 years, who was burned to death under the following circum stances : The deceased was a regular attendant upon the great Napoleon, and travelled with him over many parts of the globe, going even as far as St. Helena, when he was sent to that place. Having returned to this country, she (the deceased) during the last three or four years had been lodging in the house of Air. Fawkes, a stone mason, 7G, Union-street, Lambeth-walk, w h ere s h e dis played great eccentricity of character, and, until two days before her death, would never all-)w any one to enter her apartment. Being, however, taken suddenly ill, she sent for a little girl to attend upon her. On Tues day night last, Mr. Fawkes, her landlord, came home, and whilst in his room he heard the deceased groan, and, on proceeding to her room, he found the door l locked. After knocking some time at the door, and getting no answer, the door was forced, when a fright ful scene presented itself, for the unfortunate female was found on the floor with her clothes on fire. The fire having been extinguished by Mr. Fawkes and others, a 1 medical gentleman was sent for, and the poor creature i WRB covered with flour, and afterwards removed to the ' infirma r y o f the workhouse, where everything was done for her that humanity or surgical sk ill could devise, which but in spite of that cl ti herth e shawl deceased took wasfi fire, and a d b hencele t o the i r haceeridaegnet which sa h y caused her death. Verdict, "Accidental ' l Death." , - EIGHTS OF WAY AT KENSlNGTON.—Considerable ex citement has recently been manifested in the town of Kensington in consequence of the stopping up of a foot path opening a way between a large and populous dis trict of the parish of Kensington Gardens. A very large and most respectable public meeting assembled last Tuesday at the Vestry-hall upon the subject, and on 'Wednesday the vestry elected under the new act took up the matter with equal warmth and feeling. For years the inhabitants had been urging on the Government to concede to them this great public convenience, and laFt year the Office of Woods, as soon as they got possession of the grounds, with great consideration for the comfort of the inhabitants, made a footpath across it, and threw it open for general benefit. The Board of Ordnance, it is now understood, have again acquired possession, and their first act has been to close the footpath and to put the Kensington public to great inconvenience. In these days, when it ought to be the object of a Government to throw open all convenient thoroughfares for the ac commodation of the inhabitants of this unwieldy metro polis, it is a novelty of no very pleasing description when the Government steps in and withdraws from a large population a convenience which has been 90 recently granted. ~.~+irC."~s~r.~.
