A universal Restorative for both Sexes and all Ages, .concocted solely from the VEGETABLE kingdom; they may - 'be administered to the youngest Child, or to the most delicate Invalid, by merely regulating the dose according to the age and strength of the person. They remove all Disorders and Pains in the Stomach and Bowels, as Costiveness, Spasms, .loss of Appetite, Sick Headache, Fulness after Meals, Indi gestion, Liver Complaints, Inactivity of the Bowels, Listless mess, Heat, Pain, and Jaundiced Appearance; and while they .act thus salutarily, they mist of necessity increase the strength of the Patient. Headache, Giddiness, Singing in the 'Ears, Fluttering of the Sight, and other Heavy Drowsy Sensa tions,—the forerunners of many fatal diseases,—as Apoplexy, .Waralytic Strokes, Epilepsy, &c., are effectually warded off by la few doses of these Pills. They also produce sound refresh - iing Sleep, a keen Appetite, and possess extraordinary efficacy an invigorating the system, and imparting a pleasing serenity of mind.

For Females they are truly excellent, removing Headaches, Depression of Spirits, Dizziness of Sight, Nervousness, Dim ples, Sallowness, and giving a healthy juvenile bloom to the Complexion. Ladies, however delicate, will find them parti- Jcularly beneficial both before and after confinement. For Elderly People they are the most comfortable Medicine that can be taken.

Moon, of the Square, Winchester —" To Professor Holloway.—Sir,—l beg to in form you that for years I was a sufferer from Chronic Rheumatism, and was often laid up for weeks together by its severe and painful attacks. I tried every thing that was recommended, and was attended by one of the most eminent Surgeons in this town, but obtained no relief whatever, and fearing that my health would be entirely broken up, I was induced to go into our County Hospital, where I had the best medical treatment the institution afforded, all of which proved of no avail, and I came out no better than I went in. I was then advised to use your Pills, and by persevering with them was perfectly cured, and enabled to resume my occupa. lion ; and although a considerable period has elapsed, I have felt no return whatever of the complaint.—l am, Sir, &c., " Oct.

As a proof of their efficacy in bilious and liver complaints, I may mention the following case. A lady of this town, with whom I am personally acquainted, for years was a severe sufferer from disease of the liver and digestive organs. Her medical at endant assured her that he could do nothing to relieve her sufferings, and it was not likely she could survive many months. This announcement naturally caused great alarm among her friends and relations, and they induced her to make a trial of your Pills, which so improved her general health that she was induced to continue them until she re ceived a perfect cure. This is twelve months ago, and she has not experienced any symptoms of relapse, and often de clares that your Pills have been the means of saving her life. —I remain, dear Sir, yours truly, " Nov. 23rd. 1653."

Capt. Jackson, of this place, was afflicted with dropsy for upwards of 18 months, to such an extent that it caused his body and limbs to be much swollen, and water oozed as it were from his skin, so that a daily change of ap parel became necessary.

" Sir, —Having been recommended by Mr. 0. B. Davies, of this town, to try Brande's Bronchial Sedative, for a very severe cough, with which I was troubled for more than six months, I did so, and after taking only two packets.

I had been for months that I could not rest night or day, with difficulty of breathing, and a tickling sensation in the throat, and the cough at times was so severe that I was nearly suffocated.

IMPORTANT TO INTENDING ASSURERS. POLICIES effected in the WESTERN LIFE ASSURANCE and ANNUITY SOCIETY, 3, Parlia ment-street, London, (Established 1842,) do not become void through the temporary inability, from unforseen circum stances, of an Assurer to PAY A PREMIUM when it becomes due, for by making application to the Directors he will be allowed once (or oftener should the value of the Policy at the time of application permit it), to have the privilege of SUS PENDING THE PAYMENT of that Premium (provided he has already paid three whole Premiums at least on the Policy). And his Policy will be endorsed to the effect that it continues in force, as if The Premium omitted were paid, being however charged with a debt equivalent to !bat Premium and its In terest at £5 per cent., which will be deducted from the amount of the Policy when the Assured dies. The Policy Holder shall, however, have it in his power to free his Policy from the debt at any time by paying the amount due. The great advantage of this feature must at once be seen, since it removes the usual objections to the ordinary system of Life Assurance, by which an Assurer often loses all the benefit he sought in paying regularly the Premiums for many years on a Policy, because from temporary difficulties he is unable to pay a Premium when it becomes due, and the Po licy consequently lapses to the Office. The Directors of this Society are open to proposals for Assurance to any amount. The Society defrays the cost of Policy Stamps and Medical Fees, so that the Assured are subject to no charge beyond the Premiums. Attention is also invited to the rates of ANNUITY GRANTED TO OLD LIVES, for which ample security is provided by the large capital of the Society.

The Moniteur announces that the Austerlitz, screw man-of-war, 100 guns, left B res t on M on d a y f or the Baltic. The Hercule, Duguesclin, and Trident, were to leave Tou lon for the same destination. The Duperre was to leave on the 231. Admiral Parceval-Duchesnes left on Monday for Brest; to take the command of the Baltic squadron. The embarkations at Marseilles are carried on with vigour. ,Three vessels have already been despatched to Gallipoli, and others are to follow without delay. The troops of the army of Paris were conveyed in battalions by railway to Chalons. From that place they were con veyed by water to Lyons, and from Lyons to Avignon ; but at the latter town they took the railway to Marseilles. The inhabitants of Marseilles are making arrangements for a grand fgte to be given to the Duke of Cambridge, on his arrival in that city, where he is to embark for the East. It is supposed that Lord Raglan will leave for the East at the same time as Marshal St. Arnaud, whose departure is fixed for the sth of that month. Prince Napoleon is to depart on the 15th: It is expected that the Moniteur will publish a des patch from General de Castelbajac, giving an account of the overtures made to France by the Emperor Nicholas, similar to those made by that Monarch to Sir Hamilton Seymour, and now so fully exposed in the last papers laid before Parliament.

The Austrian Government has communicated to the Germanic Confederation an expose of its conduct in reference to the affairs of the East ; it recapitulates its hitherto unsuccessful efforts to maintain peace, and announces that, as soon as war shall have been declared, Austria will submit to the Confederation the course it will pursue for the purpose of securing the independence and safety of the Federal States. The Government of Vienna adds, that it will not hesitate to sacrifice its ancient sympa thies, and an alliance of which it has so recently reaped the benefits, to the immediate interests of its people and of its German confederates. DENMARK. On the 14th the steam sloop Miranda, 14, Capt. Lyons, arrived at Copenhagen. The Miranda, as the swallow of the British fleet, excited uncommon interest. Her salute to the Three Crowns battery was in itself ominous. The joyous roar of her cannon pealed forth at the very moment when the Upper House was almost unanimously voting its want of confidence in the pro-Russian ministry. A Copenhagen despatch, of the 20th, says :—" Admiral Napier has arrived in this city. The fleet is expected in a day or two." RUSSIA. Extraordinary preparations are being made on various points of the Gulf of Finland, liable to assault seawards. The Czar, whose activity is notorious, has visited Cron stadt, Orienbaum, and Helsingfors, for the purpose of encouraging those employed on the works destined for their defence. The corps of Guards and Grenadiers—the first mustering 36,650 effective infantry, 13,290 cavalry, with 2,000 sappers, 3,000 artillery, and 116 field-pieces ; and the second the same number of infantry, sappers, and artillery, with 5,728 cavalry and 112 field-pieces, or a total of 73,000 elite infantry, 19,000 cavalry, 6,000 artillery, and 4,000 sappers, making a general total of 104,000 in round numbers—are destined to garrison the strongholds from Abo, in Finland, to the Gulf of Livonia. These will be supported by the special Finland corps of 14,000 men, and by the numerous veteran and garrison battalions called " Inward Guard," of which:there are about six battalions, of 1,000 men each, in the districts from St. Petersburg to Riga inclusive ; so that, at the smallest computation, the effective force disposable between Abo and Riga amounts to 120,000 men, with 260 field-pieces. THE PACIFIC. From Peru we learn that the ex-President had gone south to join Domingo Elias ; and there was little doubt that, when a junction of forces was effected, the revolu tionary party would succeed, and Castillo be proclaimed President. It was supposed that if this change should take place, a treaty of peace between Bolivia and Peru would be arranged. The Mercurio of Valparaiso says that General Belzu, finding himself unable to cope with Peru on the sea, was disposed to issue letters of marque to cruisers against Peruvian commerce, and adds that some vessels had been already armed for this purpose. In the Valparaiso markets there was no important change. Copper continued firm, with an upward ten dency. Nitrate of soda scarce. Flour quiet, with sales at $7.60 to $7.75. With reference to the important question of a supply of coals in the Pacific, the Valparaiso Herald says:—" A cargo of Lota, at $l2 placed in Iquique, and two cargoes placed free on board ship at Lota, at $6, com prise the transactions for the fortnight in this article. The proprietors of these mines have fixed the price of delivery at the mines at $6 ; and steamers touching for coal can safely call direct at Lota, touching at Talcahuano, in accordance with Custom-house regulations, and supply themselves without first visiting Valparaiso. The agent has instructions to take no other price in such cases, and to give steamers the preference, in filling up, over their own or any other vessels. Draughts on agents in Valpa raiso will be received in payment. Buyers in California can send vessels direct, with the same assurance." GIBRALTAR. The steam-ship Sultan arrived on Friday at Southampton. From Gibraltar we have accounts to the 18th inst. The screw-steamer Orontes left Gibraltar for Liverpool on the 9th inst. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Euxine, 5 days 9 hours from Southampton, touched at Gibraltar on the 10th, on her way to Malta and Alexandria. The steamer British Queen, et days from Liverpool, arrived on the 11th, and cleared for Constantinople. The steamer Rajah reached Gibraltar on the 12th inst., from the Levant, and cleared for Southampton. The screw-steamer Karnak, 8 days from Liverpool, arrived on the 16th inst., and sailed for Malta and Smyrna. THE WAR IN THE EAST. One of the first consequences of the state of hostilities now impending over Europe, and of the extensive arma ments which every government is more or less compelled to make, is that large demands have already been addressed to the money-lender. The French government has con trived to persuade the public that the loan of ten millions sterling, which has just been opened, by public subscrip tion, is rather a boon than otherwise to the country. The Austrian government has so far succeeded in improving the aspect of its financial affairs, that a loan of five mil lions sterling has been taken up without much difficulty in the empire ; and now the Prussian government, though very much given to boast of the flourishing condition of its finances, is driven to ask of the assembled Chambers authority to contract a loan of thirty millions dollars, or nearly five millions sterling. This incident is the more important, inasmuch as it compels the Prussian cabinet to make some statement to the country of the causes which account for this demand ; and, accordingly, Baron Man teuffel has delivered a speech, in which he professes to explain the views of the cabinet on the present foreign relations of Prussia. The negotiations for a Turkish loan were concluded on Wednesday with Messrs. Rothschild. It is to be for £2,200,000 sterling in a six per cent. stock at 85, redeemable in fifteen years. A letter from Constantinople announces the departure from Beicos of two French and English frigates, with orders to enter the mouth of the Danube, with or without the leave of the Russians, who seem inclined to close the passage by a stockade. The insurrection at Samos has been put down by the presence of the French man-of-war brio. the Mercure, in support of the efforts of the garrison. Both are occupied in the immediate restoration of order. Advices from Constantinople of the 13th instant, an nounce that the tripartite treaty between the Porte and England and France was signed on the 12th. Fortifications on a large scale are in course of construc tion at Fokschany; a town on the common frontier of Moldavia and Wallachia. An army of 3,000 men had been formed there. On the 2d an engagement took place opposite Braila, where the Russians, attempting to cross the Danube to destroy some works on the right bank, were vigorously repelled by the Turks, and lost 120 in killed alone. Com bats are of daily occurrence, and grow more serious as well as more frequent. INDIA, CHINA, AND AUSTRALIA. The steamer Bombay arrived at Trieste on Saturday, in 112 hours, from Alexandria, with advices from Calcutta to February 19, Madras to Feb. 24, Shanghai to Feb. 4, Hongkong to Feb. 11, Singapore to Feb. 18, Penang to Feb. 21, Grille and Bombay to Feb. 28, Burmah to Feb. 2, Sydney to Jan. 25, Melbourne to Jan. 30, and Adelaide to Feb. 2. Bassein, in Burmah, was in a disturbed state. Captain D'Orgoney, the French officer in the service of the King of Ara, is on his way to France. Trade at Calcutta was fair; indigo has fallen. Exchange, 21, declining. Shanghai is still in possession of the rebel•, and the rebel army is wintering at Fech Lin, 100 miles from Pekin. Exchange at Shanghai, Old., and falling; at Canton, 4s. 1.1 d: The returns from the goldfields in New South Wales are increasing, and a rich mine has been found at Tamba- MOTEL Trade in Australia is improving, with a brisk demand for goods at Sydney. Price of gold at Sydney, £3 17s. ; at Melbourne, £3 16s. per ounce. RUSSIIN 312/LCIIAYDISE DURING THE WAIL — On Monday, a deputation of Russian merchants had an inter view with Lord Clarendon. The deputation consisted of M ess rs. Weguelin, Brandt, 'Morgan, Mitchell, Tooke, Hill, Robinson, and Hodgson. In answer to their inquiries, his Lordship stated that the Government are disposed to respect the persons and property of all Russian subjects residing as merchants in this country to the full extent promised by the Emperor of Russia towards British sub jects, a nd that all necessary measures be adopted to enable them to remain unmolested in the quiet prosecution of their business. With regard to licenses for special ship ment during the war, it was stated that each case must be considered on its merits, but that the Government will do all in their power, after concert with their naval allies, to protect the bond fide property of British subjects in Rus sia. Finally, on the question as to the trade of neutral ports, his Lordship said that the desire is to avoid throw ing any special obstacle in its way, and that certificates of origin will not be demanded. Produce shipped from the ports of Prussia, or any other friendly or neutral country will consequently be considered prima" facie as friendly cargo. SINGULAR DUEL—The Court of Assizes of the Basses- Pyrene6s has lately been occupied in the trial of a remark able and unfortunate duel case. M. Larrouy and M. La coste, formerly two friends, were the principals ; M. Lar rouy was killed by the first fire of his adversary, and M. Lacoste and the seconds were arrested. It appeared that the seconds had done all they could to render the meeting as innocuous as possible. The night before the duel they took off the sights from each of the pistols, and filled up with wax the hole in which the piece of iron had been fixed. They also placed in the pistols more than twice the usual charge of powder, so as to cause the ball not to go true, at the same time leaving the ball quite loose in the barrel, in order that the aim taken might be rendered abortive. Notwithstanding these precautions, which were altogether unknown to the principals, and notwithstand ing that M. Lacoste firsel without taking any aim, the ball entered M. Lwouy's heart, and killed him instantaneously. The parties were aoquittol HOUSE OF LORDS—TUESDAY, 3fAncu 21. MANNING THE NAVY.-A discussion took place as to the best means of providing efficient seamen for the Navy, in which Lord ELLEPBOROUGH deprecated the new ex periment of engaging meri for one year only._ _ _ FRAUDULENT SUPPLIES OF FORAGE.:—The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH called the attention of the Secretary for War to an alleged fraud committed by a contractor who had substituted filth and rubbish for good hay in the for age furnished for the artillery about to proceed to the East. He wished to know if this statement was true, and whether the criminal law would reach such a miscreant.— The Duke of NEWCASTLE was sorry to say that the charge was true. It was not at present quite clear whether the Law would reach the offender, but if it would, the house might rest assured that he would be treated with the utmost severity.—After some further discussion, in the course of which Lord DERBY pressed the Duke of NEW CASTLE to reveal the name of the contractor who had be haved in this manner, and Lord BROUGHAM expressed a hope that the criminal law would reach him, the Duke of NEWCASTLE informed the house that his name was Sturges.—The matter then dropped. The Valuation (Ireland) Act Amendment Bill was read a second time. The Mutiny Bill was read a third time and passed. The Marine Mutiny Bill was read a third time and passed. The Exchequer Bills (21,750,000) Bill was read a third and passed. The Commons Enclosure Bill was read a third time and passed. Their Lordships adjourned shortly before six o'clock. THURSDAY, MARcn 23. ROYAL ASSENT.—The following bills received the royal assent by commission :—Consolidated Fund (X 8,000,000) Bill ; Exchequer-bills (Z 1,750,000) Bill ; Coasting Trade Bill; Mutiny Bill; and Marine Mutiny Bill. The Earl of HAREOWBY presented petitions from the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, the Liverpool Guar dian Society for the Protection of Trade, and from the London Trade Protection Society, in favour of the Bill for the Registration of Bills of Sale ; and from the Liver pool Guardian Society for the Protection of Trade, in favour of a bill for improving the administration of bank ruptcy. . TIIE FRAUD IN HAY.—The Duke of NEWCASTLE, in reply to the Earl of MALMESBURY, stated that the name of the contractor who had supplied forage containing filth and rubbish for the horses proceeding to the East was not Sturges, but Sturgeon ; Thomas Sturgeon and Sons, of Grays, Essex.—Lord CAMPBELL gave it as his opinion that such an offence was punishable by the common law of England.—The Duke of NEWCASTLE said that the matter had been placed in the hands of the solicitor to the department in which the fraud was committed, and, if he deemed a prosecution warrantable, the offenders would be immediately proceeded against. The Highways (South Wales) Bill, the Registration of Bills of Sale Bill, and the Valuation (Ireland) Bill passed through committee. The Church Building Act Continuation Bill was read a first time. Their lordships adjourned at half-past six. FRIDAY, Memo" 24. COURT or CHANCERY.—Lord Sr. LEONARDS moved for a return of all matters now before the Court of Chan cery, and also of all matters now pending before the mas ters in that court, with a view to vindicating proceedings in Chancery from the aspersions which had been cast upon it.—After some discussion, in which Lord BROUGHAM and the LORD CHANCELLOR took part, the returns were granted. Lew REFORM.—The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second reading of the Common Law Procedure Bill, and proposed that it should be referred to a select committee.— After a discussion, in which Lord CAMPBELL, Lord-Sr. LEONARDS, Lord BROUGHAM, Lord WICKLOW, and the Duke of ARGYLL took part, the proposition was agreed to, and the bill, having been read a second time, was ref erre d to a select committee. PRAYER IN WAR-TIIIE.—Lord CLANCARTY asked Lord ABERDEEN whether it was not the intention of the government to take any steps towards drawing up a form of prayer to be used in the coming war ?—The Earl of ABERDEEN replied that there.was already such a prayer in the liturgy, even supposing we were involved in war, which was not at present the case.—Their lordships ad journed at seven o,clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS—TUESDAY, MAsca 21 , The following bills were read a third time and passed:— The Liverpool Police Superannuation-fund Bill, and War rington Improvement and Market Bill. MILITARY KNIGHTS.—Mr. GRENFELL moved an ad dress to Her Majesty, to direct the Lieutenant and Chan cellor of the Order of St. George and the Garter to take steps for the due appropriation of the rents and profits called " the New Dotation," granted by three existing Crown grants in 1547 and 1559, for the maintenance and other exigencies of the Military Knights of Windsor, as established by the acts of 39th and 40th Elizabeth, c. 9, 1 James, c. 31, and 3rd and 4th Victoria, c. 113.—Owing to the absence of the Home Secretary, the debate was adjourned. CARLISLE CATHEDRAL. Mr. FERGUSON' obtained leave to bring in a bill to appropriate the income of such one of the canouries of the cathedral church of Carlisle as shall next fall vacant to the augmentation of certain ecclesiastical incumbencies in that city. LAW oa BANKRUPTCT.—Mr. CAIRNS obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend and consolidate the law of bankruptcy in Ireland. Its objects were to assimilate the fees payable in bankruptcy cases in Ireland to those paid in England ; to enable examinations to be taken in dif ferent parts of the country, instead of bringing the wit nesses to Dublin • to raise the law of bankruptcy in Ireland to the standard of that in England; and to repeal a great number of old statutes, so that the bill might include the whole law of bankruptcy in Ireland. The High Treasonefreland) Bill was read a second time. THE INCOME-TAX. On bringing up the report of the Committee of Ways and Means, Sir H. WILLOUGHBY moved an amendment, the object of which was that the additional income-tax should not be levied in the first half-year, but collected half-yearly with the old tax. Mr. HANKEY reviewed the financial policy of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer last year, and censured as inju dicious and erroneous his operations upon both the funded and unfunded debt. The result of his conversions had been that, although he had paid off a considerable amount of the national debt, it had been done at a serious loss to the country, by means of balances in the Bank of England, which would have been otherwise applicable, without loss, to the reduction of the debt. A lengthened discussion ensued, in the course of which Mr. DISRA.ELI said he could not approve of a proposition for increasing taxation, unless a clear necessity had been proved, and this proof, especially since the recent docu ments had appeared, was wanting. He then adverted to what he had said upon a former occasion respecting the diminution of the Exchequer Balances from nearly £9,000,000 in 1853 to £4400,000 in 1854., and the effect of dealing with the interest of the funded and unfunded debt, for the purpose of vindicating the accuracy of his own statements and impugning the correctness of those made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, proving the improvidence of the Finance Minister's conduct. He accused Mr. Gladstone of meeting with discourteous taunts his warnings against the reduction of the rate of interest on the unfunded debt, from the depression of the funds and other symptoms which no wise man, he said, would have disregarded. The raising of the rate of dis count by the bank twice in the same month, occasioned by the rapid efflux of the precious metals, ought alone, he thought, to have made the Chancellor of the Exchequer hesitate before he commenced an operation which was to end in a reduction of the interest of the whole funded debt. He pursued the alleged inaccuracies of the Finance Minister into other statements, and reproached him with undertaking so hazardous a project as that of dealing with the interest of the funded debt, in spite, not only of the efflux of bullion, of falling funds, over-speculation, and the prospect of a bad harvest, but of the knowledge which he must have had of the ominous contents of the secret documents just disclosed. Irrespective of all these circumstances, he contended that the scheme, being radi cally defective, must have failed, and the attempt to work a double system—to pay off old incumbrances, and at the same time to bear the cost of a war out of our own imme diate resources, was impracticable, and must end inevita bly in a loan. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he was not responsible for changes in the money market, and that the objection would imply that no, financial operations of this kind ought to be tried except at the very moments of time the most favourable for the operation. The amendment was rejected without a division, and the house adjourned at two o'clock. WEDNESDAY, MAncn 22. A Ishivr WRIT was ordered for the county of Westmore land, in the room of the late Mr. Alderman Thompson. SLIGO ELECTION COMMITTER.—Sir F. BARING ap peared at the bar of the house and reported the resolu tions which had been agreed to by this committee. They were to the effect that John Swllier, Esq., was duly elected to serve as a burgess in the present parliament, and that acts of bribery had been committed, but that there was no proof that such acts of bribery were committed by the consent or with the knowledge of Mr. Sadlier. SALE OF LIVINGS.—Mr. R. PIULLIMORE moved the second reading of the Simony Law Amendment Bill, the object of which was to prevent the sale of next presenta tions to livings.—The motion was opposed by Mr. G. BUTT, Sir G. GREY, Mr. NA PIER, and the ATTORN EY-GENERAL. Mr. H. T LIDDELL also opposed the bill, and mentioned a case in his own district wherein the operation of such a measure would inflict the greatest loss upon a most excel lent family, while it would deprive the parishioners of a clergyman in whose character and conduct they had the fullest confidence, and who had no other means of acquir ing the benefice than by the outlay of £4,000, which his father had made, in the purchase of the next presentation from the lay improprietors, who, being Romanists, con scientiously abstained from presenting to the living. On a division the bill was thrown out by 140 to 54. VESTRIES.—The second reading of the Vestries Bill was moved by Mr. EVELYN, and, after some remarks from Mr. FITZROY, withdrawn. HOSIERY FRAMES.—Sir H. HALFORD, in moving the second reading of the Payment of Wages (Hosiery) Bill, said he appeared as the advocate of the framework knit ters of the midland counties. The manufacture, which was carried on in the houses of the workmen or in the shops of the masters, required the use of a machine of small value, which was the property of the employer or his agent, who charged a rent (often excessive) for its hire, which was deducted from the wages of the work man. The bill proposed, not to prohibit frame-rents, but to prevent the exaction of exorbitant rents by stoppage of wages.—Sir W. CLAY opposed the bill as an interference between master and workman, and as being a retrograde policy. The machinery of the bill he considered as bad as its principle, and he moved to defer the second reading for six months. The second reading was carried by 122 to 75, and the bill was ordered to be referred to a select committee.—The house adjourned at a quarter to 6 o'clock. THURSDAY, MARCH 23. The Ashton-under-Line and Dukinfield-bridge Bill was read a third time and passed. I A NEW WRIT was ordered for the borough of Liskeard, in the room of Mr. Crowder, who has accepted the office of a puisne judge in the Court of Common Pleas. PETITIONS against the sale of intoxicating liquors on Sunday were presented by Mr. HINDLEY, from the dis trict of Christ Church, Ashton-under-Line, and by Mr. HEYWOOD, from inhabitants of Blackpool, in Lancashire. On the motion of Mr. H. T. LIDDELL, it was ordered that a new writ should issue for the election of a member for the borough of Tynemouth, in the room of Mr. H. Taylor, unseated, his election having been declared void. FRAUDULENT HAY.—An inquiry by Colonel BLAIR, relative to the forage fraud, extracted from Sir J. GILL HAM and Mr. B. OSBORNE the following facts :—That there was no actual contract ; that tenders were adver tised for, but no contractor appeared, and an arrange ment was made for the supply of the necessary forage without a contract ; that the name of the party implicated had been incorrectly given in the other house, owing to hurry at the bar; that the real parties were Sturgeon and Son, of Grays, Essex ; that there were five other parties whose hay was of an inferior quality ; and, lastly, that legal or, if necessary, legislative proceedings would be taken in the matter. GAMING HOUSES.—The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for leave to bring in a bill to remedy the defects in the law relating to gaming -houses. He proposed to make the system of barring out the police a substantive offence ; to extend the provision contained in the Bth and 9th of Victoria, chap. 109, section 8; to authorise magistrates to select from parties brought before them, some for pro secution, and others to be witnesses ; and to make the giving a false name and address an offence. Leave was given to introduce the bill. IRISh GRAND JUEIES.—A debate of some length arose upon a motion by Mr. MACARTNEY to nominate the Select Committee on Grand Jury Laws (Ireland), Mr. F. SCULLY moving, as an amendment (one of four amend ments of which notice had been given), that the order for the appointment of the committee be discharged, which was at length agreed to. TUE INcomE-TAX.—The Income-tax Bill was read a second time after a few remarks by Sir F. KELLY and Mr.. SPOONER. Mr. BRADY moved the second reading of the Medical Practitioners (No. 2) FITZROY said the Govern ment had no objection to the second reading, and the bill was read a second time.—The house adjourned at half-past six o'clock. FRIDAY, Meitcn 24. Petitions against the Poor Law Settlement and Remo val Bill were presented by Mr. H. T. LIDDELL from the Select Vestry of the Parish of Liverpool. Pooß Lem RETURNS.—Returns were ordered of the number of removable poor persons residing in the incor poration of Bristol or Norwich, or in the parishes of Brighton, Liverpool, or Wolverhampton, or in the town ships of Leeds or Manchester, who shall be in receipt of relief during the last day of the Lady-day quarter, 1854. Pooß REMOVAL—In reply to an inquiry by Mr. HEN LEY, with reference to the Settlement and Removal Bill, Lord J. RUSSELL said the government were of opinion that, if the law were altered with regard to English pau pers, the power of removal of Irish paupers from England and Scotland could not be maintained in its present state, and stated that it was proposed to introduce a distinct bill upon the subject. LAW OF SETTLEMENT.—On the motion for the second reading of the Settlement and Removal Bill, Mr. STAF roan moved to defer the second reading for six months, and protested against the announcement made by the noble lord, at the eleventh hour, of so vital an alteration of the measure, changing, as he considered, its whole cha racter. The amendment led to a lengthened discussion, and ultimately it was carried by a majority of 134 to 123 that the debate be adjourned until Monday. The Income-tax Bill passed through committee. The motion for an address to the Crown on the Military Knights of Windsor was agreed to. The House adjourned at a quarter to one o'clock. UESDAY, MARCH 28, 1854. g " ing the existence of the Turkish Empire, cause of alarm on the subject of its discoluf This " Memorandum" is dated at St. I! 15th of April, 1853.

Tux secret and confidential correspondence between the British and Russian governments, which took place in the early part of last year, and the memorandum drawn up by Count Nessolrode in June, 1814, have this week been pub lished, and laid before parliament, by the British govern ment. These remarkable documents fill nearly a page and a half of the morning papers, and we can, therefore, find room only for a brief summary of their contents. It appears that, shortly after the Emperor of Russia's visit to England, in 1844, Count Nesselrode transmitted to the English cabinet a memorandum of conversations held with, and proposals urged upon, the Duke of Wel lington, Sir R. Peel, and other English ministers, in which the Emperor sought an understanding with England — first, to maintain the existence of the Ottoman empire in its present state, so long as that political combination should be possible ; and, secondly, in the provision of its dissolution, to enter into a previous concert as to every thing relating to a new order of things, so as to preserve the rights of the various states of Europe, the faith of treaties, and the balance of power. The two cabinets then declared that they were mutually convinced that it is their common interest that Turkey should retain her inde pendence and her existing territorial possessions ; that they would unite their efforts to consolidate her existence, and to avert dangers threatening to her safety ; and that for this purpose it was essential to leave the Porte alone, without uselessly harassing it by diplomatic embarrass ments, and without interfering, except in cases of absolute necessity, in its internal affairs. Russia added, that it was desirable not to allow the Porte to play off the dif ferent states of Europe against one another, but to main tain, as far as possible, the unanimity of the representatives of the foreign powers, without assuming the character of exclusive ascendancy. This was in 1844. In 1853, it occurred to the Emperor of Russia that the time had come to renew his proposals for a previous understanding, with a view to the contin gency of the fall and partition of the Ottoman empire; and he seems to have arrived at the conviction that the first point of his original proposal, viz., to maintain the existence of the Ottoman empire, was useless, as " the man was so very ill," to use his own expression, that the real danger lay in the chance of his expiring before the necessary measures for the division of his property had been arranged. The Czar, therefore, made overtures through Sir Hamilton Seymour to the British govern ment, in a series of confidential conversations on this subject. The first of these communications took place on the 9th January of last year. The Emperor began by inti mating his conviction that Turkey was on the verge of ruin, adding that her fall would be a great misfortune, and it was very important that England and Russia should come to a perfectly good understanding on these affairs, and that neither should take any decisive step of which the other is not apprised. The second conversation took place on the 22d of Janu ary, when the Emperor disclaimed the policy of Catherine 11., directed to the conquest and overthrow of the Turkish empire ; asserted his right to the protection of Christians in the East, but said it gave rise to very. inconvenient obligations ; and expressed his desire to come to an expla nation with Sir H. Seymour, as a friend and a gentleman, lest the fall of Turkey should take Europe by surprise. He declared that if England ever intended to establish her self at Constantinople, he should not permit it ; but that he was equally ready to engage not to take Constantinople, at least as his own, for he did not deny that circumstances might occur to induce him to occupy Constantinople as a guarantee. To Sir H. Seymour's report of this conversa tion Lord John Russell, on the 9th of February, replied by refusing to come to any understanding without the con currence of France; and in considering the contingency of the dissolution of the Turkish empire, disposed of the arguments of the Emperor by showing that an agreement made in such a case tends very surely to hasten the con tingency for which it is intended to provide. Lord John Russell, also, on the part of Her Majesty's Government, renounced all intention or wish to hold Constantinople, and declared their readiness to give an assurance that they would enter into no agreement to provide for the contin gency of the fall of Turkey without previous communica tion with the Emperor of Russia. With this declaration the Emperor declared himself completely satisfied, and voluntarily reciprocated the de claration of the British minister. On the 20th February, however, the Emperor strongly repeated his conviction that " the sick man was dying ;" and on the following day opened himself more fully to the British minister. It should be borne in mind that at this moment Prince Men schikoff was on his way to Constantinople, and subsequent events have proved to demonstration that the Emperor Nicholas, some days before the first of these conversations with Sir H. Seymour, had ordered 144,000 men to march to the frontier of the Danubian Principalities, and was now bent on engaging the British government, in conjunc tion with his own cabinet and that of Vienna, in a scheme for the ultimate partition of Turkey, and the exclusion of France from the arrangement. He began by signifying very clearly the results he would not tolerate : he said lie would not tolerate the permanent occupation of Constan tinople by the Russians, his own subjects, or by the French or English, or any other great nation ' • that he would never permit an attempt at the reconstruction of a Byzantine empire, or such an extension of Greece as would render her a powerful state, and, still less, the breaking up of "Turkey into little republics, asylums for the Kos suths and Mazzinis, and other revolutionists of Europe." He observed that die Principalities are already almost in dependent states under his own protection, that Servia is nearly the same, and that Bulgaria might be independent likewise. On the same terms, and as a set off, he had no objection to our taking possession of Egypt, and did not see why the island of Candia should not become an English possession. It was expressly provided by a Russian me morandum of the 21st of February, 1853, that "the result of this discussion should remain what it ought to be, a secret between the two sovereigns : " reackediietshe-e disclosures of otni4tll:eiel6vtsh of f of R3u!sasrik which c t Clarendon replied that, concurring as he did in the nega tive declarations of the Emperor, the British Government . persevered in the belief that Turkey possesses the elements of existence, and that the hastening or indefinite postponement of an event which every Power i n E urope is concerned in averting will mainly depend on the policy of Russia herself towards the Porte ; but that in any case England desired no territorial aggrandisement, and could be no party to a previous arrangement from which she was to derive any such benefit, o r t o any understanding, how ever general, which was to be kept secret from the other Powers. The Emperor affected to be highly gratified with this answer, and terminated the correspondence by a "Memo randum," in which he completely recognised all the principles for which the British Government had con tended. He repeated that England and Russia coincided as to the measures to be avoided in the event of that con tingency happening in the East which both States desire to prevent, or at least postpone as long as possible. He readily acknowledged that the best way to support the duration of the Turkish Government was " not to harass it by imperious demands, enforced in a manner humiliatin g to its indep en d e n ce and dignity." Provided this rule was respected by all the Great Powers, and none of them took advantage of the weakness of the Porte to obtain from it concessions which might turn to the prejudice of the others, the Emperor declared that "he was ready to labour in concert with England, M the comma work of prolong THE TREATIES IL AND TU TUE political and territor and Turkey have not been eas' public. *pies of the chief ( sented to parliament by the g The claim of Russia to a , rence to the Christian religion rests on the first treaty in this perpetual peace and friendship , two Powers at Kutschouc-Kaii of the Danube, in July, 177 c then boundary between the tiv , rabia to Turkey ; and " the hilate and leave in an etern treaties between them."
