cv• cfe e l.: V FOREIGN - INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. The Siecle perseveres in its endeavours to influence the public mind. It insists that the Fiench Government may, without contradicting itself, engage in diplomatic negotiations, or open a Campaign; and if Austria refuses to make con cessions to national claims, the conflict will arise as a matter of course, and it is then that France will find herself engaged both by her interests and her honour. The Sieele observes : The truth is, that the French Government preserves its complete freedom of action. It is in no manner bound by the solemn declarations which have sounded over all arQpe ; it may, without contradicting itself, engage in diplomatic negotiations or open a campaign When two great Powers are disagreed, when neither feel disposed to make concessions contrary to its dignity, it is impossible to foresee the consequences. Our plain opinion is, that if Austria does not consult her interest, if the influence of good advice is not sufficiently strong to lead her to make , concessions to national claims, the con flict will arise as a matter of course, and it is then that France will find herself engaged both by her interests and her honour. The Patrie says—" War is only the extreme, and liaPPily the improbable, consequence of this situa tion. Behind diplomacy, as behind our army, exists the invincible strength of public opinion. This union of the government and the country is the best guarantee of peace." AUSTRIA The Breslau Gazette has the following from Vienna :—" Orders have been sent to the eastern provinces to purchase 20;000 horses, and the terms offered prove that the Government wants to have possession of the animals as promptly as possible. The official Austrian CoiTespond,ence refutes the accusation of Count Cavour, and says :—" Austria is sufficiently armed to ward off attacks against the imperial sovereignty, but respects, nevertheless, the right of other states to settle their affairs as they may please." GREECE The Bank of Athens, the capital of which was six millions drachmas, has just been authorised to issue debentures for eight millions more, destined to be employed in loans on mortgage, at an interest reduced from 10 to 7 per cent. This financial arrangement to be in force for eight years. The Grand Duke Constantine of Russia, with the Grand Duchess, will pass ten days at Athens in the course of the month of April. The Russian steamer that brought this news has returned to Sicily. King Otho, in an autograph letter, has invited their Imperial Highnesses to stay at his Palace during the whole of their visit. THE SERVIAN REVOLUTION, The Journal des Debats notices that the Servian revolution, which in tho beginning was distin guished b y remarkable moderation, has assumed recently an anarchical character. The members of the Skuptschina, encouraged by the readiness With which their slightest desires have been met by Prince Milosch, have become capricious and violent. Thus the Servian question, which was Prince to have been solved by the deposition of rruice Alexander and the restoration of Prince Milosch, appears decidedly to enter on revolu tionary phases, of which it is not easy to predict an. issue. SPAIN The semi-official Correspondencia Alltografa intimates that the Queen will probably spare the life of Mr. Duncombe Jones Barry, the Englishman condemned to death for having assaulted a Spanish sentinel in the vicinity of Gibraltar. COUNT CAVOUR We have already published a telegraphic outline of Count Cav Our's speech during the loan debate in the Piedmontese parliament. The Pays gives the speech in full. We extract the passages relating to England. After expressing his admiration for this country and for the freedom of its political institutions, Count Cavour con tinued : Unfortunately, ever since 1856, England has been under the impression that it is for her interest to be in connection with Austria. She has thought to obtain in this power, who has never assisted her on a single battle field, though often opposed to her on those of diplomacy, an ally in her Eastern policy . . This con nection will have little effect upon her opinion and con duct as far as it relates to Southern and Central Italy, bu t will exercise a sensible influence upon it in all that concerns the north of the Peninsula. Her opinions or the Neapolitan and the Papal governments remain identical with those she held three years ago, but with regard to the northern provinces and those on the left bank of the Po, they have undregone a change for which we, who are nearer them, can discover no reason. The cries of grief that went up from Naples, Rome, and Bologna, h ave p e netrated with their full force to the banks of the Thames. Unhappily, however, those '.:;uttored by Milan and Venice are interrupted by the Austrian Alps. This is serious, gentle men ; I do not deny it, but I am not altogether discouraged. I feel confidence in the good sense and generosity of the English nation. I know, and I know Y experience, that with the Englis public the cause of truth and justice ends in triumph; I know that the Principle of liberty, and every noble cause, will find warm and eloquent advocates, and that whenever it is possible t° speak clearly and without restraint to this great na t i on, success will be on the side of reason, progress, and c ivlisation. Ido not despair, gentlemen, because, although I have not yet attained the advanced period of V, I can remember having many times seen the triumph °I causes carried on in defence of justice and liberty, although opposed by prejudice and both private and class interests. In conclusion the Count said : I think, gentlemen, that I have shown you that our I t ) . °ll cy has not been inconsiderate, nor our acts provoca lle.• In asking you for the means of defence, we have no intention of changing this policy, we have no intention . of proceeding to offensive acts, but at the same time we have no intention of remaining silent when Austria menaces 115 / and c row d s our f ron ti er w ith h er t roo ps. This policy, frankly and honourably declared, will, I hope, receive the approbati on no t on ly o f th e members of this Chamber, but of every loyal-hearted man in Europe. THE NEAPOLITAN EXILES of foll ow i ng i s an ex t rac t o f a l e tt er f r om one tr the Neapolitan prisoners transported to New York, dated Bay of Cadiz, on board the Neapolitan War steamer Stromboli, Feb. 2, 1859 : It is impossible for any one of us to land ; our im trisonment continues, and will end only at New York. Not even P oer i o , who is ill, has been allowed to land for an hour. A Spanish sailing vessel has been hired, 2,P. board o f w hich we shall s oon b e pl ace d. The eapolitan steam frigate which escorts us will tow the Spanish ship for two days, and then will turn back. We shall continue our voyage alone. After having passed ten years in a sepulchral stillness it is hard to be tossed about at sea. I am, however, cheerful and well, and happy in thinking I shall soon be free. On board this steamer we are well treated. From New York I shall come to England. Forgive my incoherent letter • the noise, the effects of a sea voyage, and, to tell the truth, a little vexation at having t 4 make so l ong a vo yage without any reason, the new life which I live, have bewildered .1 1 1 Y poor brains, and I hardly know what I am doing. w e are all well, Poerio excepted, who has long suffered from bronchitis, which of late having b eco me worse, save us great uneasiness. He is now better, but who knows what may happen during_ the YoYale, which mus t l as t a t least a month ? We arc In God's hands ; we are cheerful, and bear up manfully. Forgive my uncouth entitle ; I tell you my head is quite confused, and I am giddy. We are glad to learn that ample preparations are Making at New York to give these noble men, who, although, released from his prisons, yet fgel the heavy hand of King Ferdinand's cruelty, a reception that will resound throughout the.world. THE. RIVER PLATE The advices from Buenos Ayres are to the 27th of December. The political events of the previous month had been of considerable importance. The authorities of San Juan, after entrenching the city, and making ever preparation for an active resistance, yielded at the first summons of the Federal commissioners. The accounts from the other provinces state that troops were raising in all directions, and the rumour was, that the San Juan affair having been_ ended, their destination was Buenos Ayres. The Paraguay question re mained in statu quo. The American squadron was rapidly assembling at Monte Video, where the Admiral and Commissioner had already arrived. Great preparations were making for an active and energetic resistance at the entrance of the Para guay river. All circumstances pointed to an immediate struggle. The internal condition of the State was highly satisfactory. Heavy and regu lar rains kept the pastures in a state of extra ordinary fertility. Cattle was every where " rolling with fat." In reference to the American dispute, the Buenos Ayres Commercial. Times says : Thepapers of this city, taking their cue from a paragraph in a leading English journal, describe the Americans as coming out on their first attempt at arrangement with Paraguay, with their ultimatum in one hand, and the means to enforce it in the other: This idea is founded on a misconception of the true state of the case. A Treaty of Commerce for five years, apparently satisfactory to both nations, was concluded by Mr. Pendleton, United States 'plenipotentiary, in the year 1852, the ratifications to be exchanged within eighteen months. Early in 1854, Mr. Buckalea arrived at Asuncion with the ratification of the United States Government, but, in the meantime, unplea sant events had transpired. between the government of Paraguay and the Americans settled at Asuncion, and President Lopez, taking as a pretext, a change in the text, substituting the " United States of America" for the " United States of North America," refused to append his signature. Now as the United States are recognised by all civilised nations as the " United States of America , " this change in the text can be nothing more than a pre text for drawing back from the fulfilment of a treaty, which other reasons rendered, obnoxious. In. the follow ing year Colonel Fitzpatrick was despatched from Wash ington on a like errand, and also to arrange some unfor tunate disputes which had arisen ;" but his mission was attended with no better success than that of the former commissioner. The term of the treaty expired last year, so that it is too late now. to seek ratifications, and the secondary point of the former commissioner has become the principal object of the mission of Judge Bowlin. , At the same tune coming, after such an interval, with a fleet at his back, it seems very much as if there was a wish to bully the Paraguayans into compliance; while the natural effect of such a display of force is to provoke resistance, which it is likely to do in the present instance, as guns, powder, shot, chain-cables, &c., have been sent forward lately in large quantities to Paraguay. We can only hope, for the sake of humanity, that force will not be resorted to ; if it be, the result,.from all present appear ances, is very doubtful ; the rising commerce of Paraguay will be annihilated, but whether the stars and stripes float over .Asuncion, is as yet highly probmatical. MARINE AFFAIRS SINKING OF A LARGE SHIP AT HOLYHEAD.—Advices from Holyhead inform us of the sinking of a large ship on the Coal Rocks, her masts being above water The steam-tug Resolute had gone in search of her, but re turned to Holyhead, without discovering the wreck. THE STEAMER IGNEZ DE CASTRO.—We recently noticed that this steamer, which of late has been trading from Glasgow to Lisbon, had gone ashore near Peniche, close to the latter port. Advices received here yester day state that it blew very heavy in squalls from W. to N. on the sth instant, and that great fears were enter tained that steamer would become a total loss, it being doubted whether she could stand the weather. Loss OF ANOTHER 'LIVERPOOL VESSEL AND FIVE LIVES.—In an extra edition of our paper of this day week, we chronicled the loss of a vessel trading between Liverpool and Ardrossan, the captain, his wife and child, as well as two seamen, losing their lives. To-day,, we learn that schooner Vixen, Captain M'Bryde, from Glas gow for. Liverpool, with pig iron and a general cargo, went on shore on Bahama Bank, near the Isle of Man, on the 9th inst., and became a total wreck. The captain, his two mates, and two seamen were drowned. The remainder of the crew, seven, were saved. A SUSPICIOUS AFFAIR.—The ship Thomas H. Perkins was lying in the river on the Ist of February ready t 9 sail for Philadelphia, when it was found that she was in a leaky condition, and she was accordingly' docked. Having had her cargo discharged, she was taken into Graving-dock on Saturday, when it was discovered that the cause of the leak was an augur hole bored thrOugh her plank, and yellow metal sheathing from the inside of the after peak on the port side of the ship. We understand that a reward of $5O will be offered for the discovery of the person who committed the ontrage. If the vessel had gone to sea the result would probably have been the 'loss of the vessel and all hands on board. LOSS OF Two BRITISH VESSELS BY FIRE, AND RESCUE OF THE CREWS. —We learn, by the Brazilian mail, that the British barque Briseis, of Sunderland, 300 tons register, Captain Care, which sailed on the 27 th of Oct . from London for British Columbia, was totally destroyed by fire on the 7th of December, in lat. 2J 52 S, lon. 33 15 W. The master, crew, and five passengers left the burning vessel in the boats, and after sailing 370 miles, which they did in five days, were picked up on the 12th of Dec., by the Brazilian brig Liberal, which landed them on the 11th of January at Pernambuco. Through the same source we learn that the barque Fox, of Scarborough, which left Liverpool, under the command of Captain Smith, on the 13th of November, for Pernam buco, took fire at sea off the coast, about 40 miles to the North of Paraiba, on the niuht of the 30th December. The master and crew were landed at Paraiba.' The captain has written to Liverpool, and in his letter says :—When the ship drew close to shore we per ceived a large steamer under the Brazilian flag. hoisted the ensign union down half-mast, and dewed up sails, fully expecting. assistance, but to our astonishment he took no notice of it. As for the cause of the fire, lam entirely at fault. The only plausible supposition I can offer is, that the bales - of felt may have been chafing against a beam, and spontaneously ignited." DREADFUL FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE IN LONDON. On Saturday morning,.afearful fire broke out on the extensive range of premises belonging to Mr. .James Walton, wholesale tea dealer, situate at No. 85, High street, Whitechapel, London - a fire attended with the loss of two human beings, and a serious destruction of valuable property. The fire was discovered by police-officer No. 160 of the H division, who immediately called out, " Sam, bring your escape, here is a fire," alluding to Samuel Wood, the Royal Society's conductor. The man at once ran with the machine to the spot, only eight doors distant, when he saw three persons at the second-floor front window. He brought . these down his escape, then raised his upper ladders to the third-floor, where three other parties were getting upon the Vindow-sills, for the purpose of jump ing into the street. Wood called to them to remain until he got to them. He then brought them down the ladder to the canvas bag and passed them out in safety. He inquired whether any one else was in the house, and was told that the two female servants were in the back room third-floor. He repaired to the third floor front again, entered the room, and reached the door of the apartment ; but the handle of the door was then red hot, and whilst he was endeavouring, with the aid of his coat, to turn the lock, the door fell upon the conductor, to some extent sheltering him from the flames. He managed to crawl on his hands and knees to the front window, where the flames had preceded him, and had actually set fire to the top of the machine ; he was obliged indeed to get out head foremost, nearly stifled with smoke. He next unshipped the short ladder of his escape, and by great exertions succeeded in placing it on the roof of the next house, and managed to get to the room where the unfortunate females were; but the room was then in one body of flame. In the course of a few minutes the whole of the interior of the building fell with a crash resemblin& an explosion of gunpowder, and the flames immediately rose so high as to illumine the whole of the East end. The engines went to work in an admirable manner, but the only good they could do was to protect the adjoining houses, the premises in which the misfortune commenced being totally consumed. Wood, with the aid of the bri gade, then went in search of the two persons missing. One was found lying across the other in the cellar, show ing that they had fallen with the floor when they came down. They were placed in shells, and removed to the dead-house to await an inquest. Their names were Charlotte Law, aged 33, and Emily Williams, aged dt e a thh p ai e ts r h so e n w named Watford, rushed throughlswas. so o The t b h fire, a e dly b foreman , u rmaottlitgh:dfrtoonbtedtoaokre,nbutot escapeas the hospital. The conductor Wood has saved 11 lives in nine days, and altogether 90 persons in the same parish. The origin of the ATP is unknown. PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS. A considerable number of Parliamentary papers were issued on Saturday, and among them the following : • PROCEEDING TO ELECTIONS ACT.—A bill for regulat ing elections in the United Kingdom is now before the House of Commons. 'Elections in Ireland are, by one of its provisions, brought within the action of the same laws as those which regulate them in England and Scot land, and these are modified to a certain extent. So much of the Act of the 13th and 14th Vie. as authorises the continuance of the poll at contested elections for counties in Ireland for two days and prevents the com mencement of snoh polling on Saturday, is repealed ; and in future at any such election the poll shall commence at eight a.m., and close at five p.m., and shall continue for one day only. Nothing contained in this bill, however, is allowed to affect the provisions of the 13th and 14th Vie., for closing the poll in certain cases, nor for the pro ceedings thereby authorised in cases of, riot. A provision is also inserted by which the seats.of bankrupt members must be vacated within a shorter period than that required by the existing law. REPORT OF THE COMMISSARIIiT COMMISSION.—AD2OIIg the Parliamentary documents given to the public to-day is a voluminous report from the committee appointed last summer to inquire into the organisation of the com missariat department of the army. The chairman, Gen. Sir G. Brown, was' assisted in his inquiry by Gen. Airy, Sir C. Trevelyan, Col. Tulloch, Mr. Petrie, and other gentlemen. - The gist of the report is that a widely spread feeling of dissatisfaction exists among this department, in consequence of the uncertainty of promotion, and the embarrassment in which they find themselves placed when in the field from a deficiency of subordinates. The pay and retiring pensions also are not satisfactory to the officers and men serving her Majesty in the Commissariat, and they wish to be brought more completely under the operation of the rules regulating the other branches of the servico. With a view of remedying these defects, the commission pro pose among the innovations, to establish an officer at the War Office, to be called the Commissary-General-in-Chief, holding a higher rank in relation to the rest of the army . than is now enjoyed by any officer iu the Commissariat. This principle of raising the relative rank of the officer is followed out throughout this arm of the service ; Commis sary-Generals to rank as Major-Generals, Deputy Com missary-Generals of three years standing as Colonel, and so forth. With a view to obviate the necessity of an undue augmentation of the establishment in time . of war, and the consequent inconvenience arising from the large reduction that must necessarily take place on 'the ter _ _ mination of hostilities, the Commissariat should be allowed to avail themselves more extensively .than they have hitherto done of the temporary assistance that might be afforded by officers drawn from the troops, or from the half-pay of the army, who might act in the capacities of Assistant and Deputy Assistant Commissaries General. The greater number of these suggestions are , given effect to by a Royal Warrant, dated the 28th Oct., and printed , together with the report. The whole of the evidence also on which the suggestions of the. Commission have been based are given'in — appendices, the questions num- bering-more than '2,300. AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS OF IRELAND.—A substan tial blue book, principally composed of tables, and published to-day, consists of the report of the Registrar General of Ireland, to the Lord Lieutenant, for the year 1857. The total acreage under cultivation in 1857 was 5,859,117, being an increase of 105,570 over the pre ceeding year. Of these 33.8 per cent. were occupied by oats, 23.3 by meadow and clover, 19.6 by potatoes, and 9.5 by wheat. Flax only occupies 1.8 per cent., and other crops appear to be cultivated in large quanti ties. The county which has, in the year under consideration, made the greatest advance in the extent of its cultivated land appears to be Cork, 13,976 .acres out of the whole increase of 105,000 having been added to the cultivated land in that county since 1856. Mayo, Roscommon, and Galway, are the counties that have made the next greatest strides in advance, the increase in them being respectively, 11,600, 10,800, and 10,600. The extent of cultivated land in several counties diminished in 1857, the diminution being greatest in Meath, where it amounted to 4,316 acres ; and in Cavan, where it was 2,109 acres. A comparative statement of the cultivated acreagoin Ireland and Scot land is also given in this report, the most noticeable fea ture being that the proportion which turnips in Scotland bear to those in Ireland, approaches that which the Irish potatoes bear to the Scotch, the numbers being in Ireland 19,5 per cent, potatoes, and 5.9 turnips, and in Scotland 13,4 turnips and 3.9 potatoes. The fluctuation in the extent of land devoted to the cultivation of potatoes and wheat is shown by the following interesting table : wheat. Acres. 743,871 687,646 604,867 504,248 353,566 326,896 411,284 445,775 529,050 659,646 Potatoes. Acres. 284,116 718,608 875,357 868,501 876,632 898,733 98%660 982,301 1,101,704 1,146,647 The comparatively great extent devoted to wheat dur ing the earlier years .is of course attributable to the failure of the other crop ; but as the potato blight gradually decreased, the extent under potatoes increased and under wheat diminished, until 1854, when the high prices caused by the Russian war again stimulated its Cultivation. THE SUPERANNUATION CIVIL SERVICE BILL.—The following are the provisions :—Subject to certain excep tions after mentioned, the superannuation allowance to be granted in future is as follows (that is to say) : - To any person who shall have served ten years and upwards, and • under eleven years, an annual allowance of ten sixtieths of the annual salary and emoluments of his office ; for eleven years and under twelve years, an annual allowance of eleven sixtieths of such salary and emoluments ; and in like manner a further addition to the annual allowance of one sixtieth in respect of each additional year of such Service, until the completion of a period of service of forty years, when the annual allowance of forty sixtieths may be granted ; and no addition shall be made in respect of any service beyond forty ears;y provided, that where any persons serving in the civil service of the State are especially. .excepted from this act by Minute of the Commissioners of the Treasury, as aforesaid, such minute, with the reasons of the exception thereby made, shall be laid before both houses of parliament. As a provision for professional and other special offices, it is laid down that a number of years not exceeding twenty shall, in computing the amount of superannuation allow ance, which may be added to the number of years during which the professional officer may have actually served, and also to direct that in respect of such office or class of offices the period of service requiring to entitle the holders to superannuation may be a period less than ten. years, to be specified in the order or warrant : provided always, that every order or war matt made under this enactment shall be laid before Parliament. Judicial and other offices may be brought under the provisions of this Act, excepting the offices of Lord Chancellor and the- judges of the higher courts. Allowances iii cases of bodily injury received in discharge of duty may be made, not exceeding three months pay for every two years of service, or a superannuation allowance not exceedin t g ten sixtieths of the annual salary and emoluments of his office. Gratuities in case of short service may be given by the Treasury, but so as that no such gratuity shall exceed the amount of one month's pay for each year of service. Allow ances on abolition of offices may be made specially, but if the compensation shall exceed the amount to which such persons would have been entitled under the scale of superannuation provided by this Act if ten years were added to the number of years which he may have actually served, such allowance shall be granted by special minute, stating the special grounds for granting such allowance, which minute shall be laid before Parliament, and no such allowance shall exceed two-thirds of the salary and emoluments of the office. Provision for special services, and deduct for demerit in individual cases, may be made by the Treasury, to be recorded in a minute laid before Parliament. Certificates of diligence and fidelity from the Treasury or from the head of a department are necessary as a condition of grant of full superannuation. It shall not be lawful to grant any superannnation allowance to any person who shall be under sixty years, unless upon medical certificate to the satisfaction of the .Commissioners of the Treasury that he is incapable, from infirmity of mind or body, to discharge the duties of his situation, and that such infirmity is likely to be perman ent. Persons superannuated under sixty may be required to serve again. When any person holding an office not being an office held during good behaviour, in respect of which a superannuation allowance may be granted under this Act shall have attained the age of sixty-five years, he shall retire from such office, unless his continuance therein shall be deemed advantageous to the public service, and shall .on that ground be authorised by the Commissioners of the Treasury ; and every persdu retir ing by reason of his having attained the age of sixty-five years, shall thereupon receive such superannuation allowance as; under the provisions hereinbefore contained, may be awarded to No pension shall be granted under the provisions of section six of the Act of the fifty-seventh year of King George the Third, chapter sixty-five to any person who shall not have had a scat in one of the houses of Parliament during the period or a portion of the period for which he has held office, as in the said section is mentioned. Nothing herein contained, shall prevent, restrict, or diminish any pension, superannuation allow- THE NORTHERN TIMES, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1859 ance, gratuity, or compensation which, if this act had not been passed, might hereafter be granted to any person who shall have entered the public service before the passing of this act. SALE OF Pomovs BlLL.—This bill has been printed. The bill will not take effect till after the 31st of Dec. next. The acts of 14 and 15 of Victoria, chap. 13, are repealed. All vendors of medicine, whether apothecaries or druggists, must keep their poisons in boxes, bottles, or vessels distinctly labelled with the word " Poison" in conspicuous capital letters, No person may vend , any poison to a customer- unknown to (him) the vendor, except in presence of a witness of full age, who is known to the vendor, and to whom the purchaser is known ; minors may not be supplied With poisons at • all. Drug gists and others, vending poison must make a formal record of the fact in a book to be kept for the purpose. All poisons sold must be labelled, like the original vessels in the shop, with the word "Poison" in capital letters.

A. certain quantity of crude or extract of opium (not exceeding so many grains), and a certain quantity of the liquid tincture, or " laudanum" (not to exceed so many minims), may be bought and sold without the above formalties. The schedule of the bill stigmatises as " poisons" the following preparations of the Pharmocopnia, viz., arsenic and its compounds, cor rosive sublimate (properly called the bichloride of mercury), the poisonous'vegetable alkaloids and their salts, (which include strychnine, belladona, digitalis, veratria, mor phia, &C.), hydrocyanic (Prussic) acid; the deadly cyanides of potassium, the essential oil of bitter almonds, (unless deprived of its hydrocyanic acid), cantharides (Spanish fly); aconite and its preparations, oxalic acid, (the favourite poison of love-sick servant-maids, and such like), mix vomits, (whence strychnine is extracted), coculus indicus, (the deadly narcotic so freely - used by our brewers and publicans for adulteration), and opium, whether crude, or in tincture, extract, or powder. SPORTING:NOTES A fetv Pickings by a friend of the Man in the Moon. Betting has begun to spring a little at last with the opening of Parliament. Drogheda takes his place at the head of the Chester Cup betting ; while Gorsehill, a remarkably nice-looking hunter to all appearance, on short legs, and capitally in, considering his six winnings last vear, is at 40 to 1. Promised Land is .restored to his Two Thousand position, for which some are backing Marionette pretty freely as well. The Derby is more the latter's game, as we can never fancy him a very quick horse. To look at, Gaspard is much the smarter horse of the two" for an A. F. dis tance ; and, had he been in the Two Thousand, we should have thought it pretty nearly a certainty, except Baron Rothschild can turn up trumps with one of his pair. For the Liverpool Steeplechase only 12 out of 62 have declared forfeit ; and Horniblow, a somewhat slow weight carrier, heads the " contents " with 1 Ist. 71b. Little Charley is doing good work for the Grand National, Burrough will have the mount. At Epsom, the Brewer and Westminster are both in good work and form. I havigigood reason to say that Westminster will be Hughes' horse on the day, if he keeps all right. At Chester 102 out of 217 stand in ; at. Northampton, 44 out of 126 ; and at York, 39 out of 73, Firherman, Skirmisher, and Saunterer head the weights at the three places. Tom Dawson has 61 horses in training, and Joe Dawson 47 ; but Blink Bonny has been put out of work alto gether, and goes to Newmuister. Ellerdale and Stockwell (we believe), Imperieuse and 'Warlock, Aphrodite and West Australian, and Mowerina and Kingston are the other distinguished unions announced. It seems that a filly, Meg Dods, was after all the first Fandango • and the prowess of his fillies last year has nearly filled Teddington's list. Backbiter and about a score of the late Mr. 11. Combe's stud come to the hammer this day at Tattersall's, but the Nob is not among them. The Sardinians are in the horse market, and a contract has been taken to send them a hundred picked cavalry horses in the course of a month. Mr. Ten Broek is still in America, but will come over again for the racing season. As a specimen of the handsome way in which he treats the English jockeys, the Sunday Times mentions.that he paid Fordham's bill of £95 for the season by a £2OO cheque. We may well wish him luck in 'M.. We cannot conclude without congratulating Mr. Tophim upon his 102 acceptances for the Chester cup, and fifty for the steeple •chase. We hope that the weather may favour his spring meeting at Liverpool, for he must spend his time to very little profit to himself (if any), and without one shilling in the way of subscriptions from the inhabitants of the town. In the course of a short time, we shall take a look in at the various raeing stables, and give the result from time to time. ENDOWED ScHooLs.—A bill of Mr. Dillwyn and Mr. Massey enacts that no endowed school or educational charity shall be deemed to belong to any religions com munion or sect, or be used for the teaching o b f any par ticular religious doctrine, unless the founder shall have expressly declared that such is his wish. Persons of all religious persuasions, properly qualified, will be deemed eligible as governors, masters, or scholars of open schools. THE SNOW-STOIIIII IN AYRSHIRE.-A fall of snow, on Monday morning, was one of the heaviest that we have had in the west of Scotland for many years. The snow came on about midnight, and continued to fall regularly over a large extent of country till daybreak. In the lower districts of Ayrshire, the depth was from six to seven inches, and as there was not a breath of wind, the fall was nearly equal on bight and hollow.—Ayr Advertiser. _ THE WELSH SLATE TRADE.—This, the staple trade of so many districts in North Wales, is in a most vigorous and healthy condition. During the whole of the autumn and winter there has been considerable activity in the trade, both for roofing slates and slabs, and, with the orders exceeding the supply, the prices have been firm. As compared with the corresponding period of last year, the trade is in a more flourishing condition, with every probability of its continuing brisk and sound. REFORM MOVEMENT.—Extensive preparations are making for a Tipperary demonstration in favour of Reform, the Ballot, and, of course, Tenant-right. It is to come off at Thurles, and is to be quite a grand affair, according to promise —in fact, to be a revival of the O'Connell monster meetings in the South. Eight or ten members of Parliament are expected to attend. The day's proceedings are to be concluded with a banquet to "The O'Donoghue of the Glens, the chivalrous repre sentative for the County of Tipperary." LOVE IN A WELL.---WO a few weeks ago gave our readers an account of a daring feat by a female in the village of Swaff ham Prior, named Martha Morgan, in descending a well to fetch up a pail. It seems her cou rageous conduct won for her the attachment and atten tion of a brisk widower close by, named William Farrer, who took her for " better, for worse," at our church on Saturday week, observing that it was her daring feat that stimulated him to do it, as he should then have a wife who could say more than other wives could in the history of their lives.4--Cambridge Independent. CURIOUS CUSTOM IN DENMARK..—In Denmark they won't many people who come to the minister without each producing a certificate of vaccination. Certain English people were in the habit of running away to Denmark for the purpose of marrying deceased wives' sisters. Alas ! they did not take their certificates of vaccination with them. Who would have dreamed of it ? Well, the only solution of the difficulty was to be vaccinated again - regularly shedding one's heart's blood for love, you see—a thing more often talked about than done.—Leisure Hour. THE CHURCH OF ROME IN AUSTRIA.—A new piece called " Montrose," was given in the Court Theatre, and the Emperor, with several other members of the Imperial family, went to see it. In one of the scenes an envoy appears, and informs Montrose that Charles IL will be acknowledged King of Scotland if he will consent to swear to the Covenant. On hearing this Montrose waxes very wrath, and rails in good set terms at " the canting hypocrites who would fain place the Church above the State." As soon as the words cited were pronounced, there was a perfect storm of applause, which lasted so long that the Court could not fail to remark that a public demonstration had been made against the Jesuits.—Letter from Vienna. OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE GRAND EIGHT-OAR RACE. — We understand the lovers of aquatics at both Universi ties are already preparing for this grand trial of skill, which will take place either on Friday,.

DEFENCE OF THE COUNTRY. —The Daily News says:— It is rumoured that the delay in the production of Sir J.

INSULT TO THE DUTCH FLAG.—The Dutch flan-, says the Par, has met with a serious insult, if the following fact, given in a private letter from Curacoa, of 2Gth December last, is correct. It states that the Dutch schooner Amalia, belonging to the house of Jessurn and Son, of Curacoa, has been taken possession of by the authorities of St. Domingo, who have transformed her into a vessel of war without any legal formality, and simply alleging that she belonged to the republic. The letter adds that this news produced a great impression at Curacoa, and it was expected that the Dutch government would adopt energetic measures to obtain satisfaction. A BLOOMER.—In the Imperial Court, on Saturday, the case of one Herrewegen, formerly a corporal in the Belgian army, was called on. " Present !" cried a tall, masculine woman rising. "What are you ?" asked the president. "An old soldier !" said she. "An old soldier ! you mean, of course, a cantiniere ?" " No, sir, I was first a private soldier, afterwards a corporal in the 12th Regiment of Belgium, and I have gained the decoration of the Iron Cross for distinguished services." Iler advocate then explained to the court that, in 1830, being married to a Belgian sergeant, whose regiment w as in the citadel of Antwerp, she, in order to enter the citadel into which strangers were not admitted, disguised herself as a man, and enlisted for two years. She served so well that she was made a corporal. Some time after the revo lution her regiment having gone over to the popular side, was sent to attack a house at Bercham, in whch a de tatchment of Dutch troops had barricaded itself; midst and she, in the midst of a d readful fire, and in spite of thlnf hesi tation of her comra des, beat down the door ex with the butt end of her m usket, whereb y the house was ts Car ried. On anot her occasion at Louvain, in a combat a barrel of g un p owder accident ally p ode t wounding sever al men; all the soldiers near fl e d i n dis may,- but proceeded with the greatest calm o afford relief to the wounded. After this affair sheemferardeedheeni sex known, and the King of the Belgians for some her the Iron Cross. She subsequently served eu years as cantiniere, and obtained a small pension.
