WATERPROOF CLOTHING FOR TEE ARMY IN I

CRIMIA.—One of the most extensive contracts ever entered
into by one Arm has just been completed by Mr. George'
Spill, of the Old Farm-house, Stepney green, who engaged
lilt the Lords of the Admiralty 42 days ago to manufacture
40,006 coat., 40,000 pairs of leggings, and 40,000 hoods for
the army in the Crimes. Only 44 days were allowed Mr.
Spill to comnlete the order, and he immediately trebled the
number of his bands, with relays of workmen and females
to assist, and for 40 days and nights. including Christmas-
day and Sundays, the works were in coctiousl operation.
On an average there were 3,500 persons employed. Large
bounties were offered by Mr. Spill to expedite the
work, and double pay was gist° for over hours.,
The usual working hours are ten per day, and
while the manufacture of the waterproof clothing
for the army was going on, a great majority of the
men and women employed made 15, and a larger portion,
16 working days per week. On the 40th day the order was
completed, and the whole of the waterproof clothing deli-
vered to the Lords of the Admiralty. The howls will cover
the ups of the men, and the coats are so made as to form
a cover for the horses of the cavalry, and a bed for the in-
fantry, in which they can also place their kit and provisions.
On Wednesday evening, just as the order was c mpleted, en
alarming fire broke out in the buildicg, which, with the
naptha, ind is-rubber, and every other article on the premises,
was completely destroyed.

SPAIN.

THE NEW CONSTITUTION.
The following are the principal bases of the new
oonetitution proposed for Spain :

Art. 1. All the public powers emanate hem the nation
in which the sovereignty materially resides. To the nation
consequently and exclusively belongs the right of establish-
ing its fundamental law..
The nation takes on itself the obligation of maintaining
and protecting public worship, aid the ministers of the
eatholic aeligion, which Spaniards profess. Nevertheless,
no Spaniard and no foreigner can be civilly prosecuted an
account of his opinions, provided he does not manifest them
by public acts contrary to religion.
No Spiciest can be detained, sent to a prison or torn
from his home, nor can his house be searched, save in the
case and according to the forms prescribed by the laws.
No Spaniard can be proceeded against or condemned,
save by the competent judge or tribunal, by virtue of laws
made before the alleged crime, and in the form they
prescribe.
Capital punishment cannot be awarded to crimes purely
political.
The penalty of confiscation shall never be adjudged on
estate, real or personal, and no Spaniard shall be de•
prived of his property, unless for some reason justified
by the COl2llllOll weal, and then only upon equitable in•
demnity.
Should the safety of the state require, under estraordi-
sat7 circumstances, the temporary suspension, throughout
the entire monarchy or partially, of the disposition con•
tamed in the article, when it is declared that no Spaniard
can be arrested, or sent to prison, or torn from his
dwelling, such suspension shall be determined by a law.

het was that a number of poor persons (be undentond as
may as tweaty-seven) belonging to the parish of New-
*goo, had bola in attendance at this court to apply for
relief, and many of them having complained of being in a
atarviag state, he had relieved them with half a crown
s-piece, and directed the other to 'request Mr. Herring to
attend to their eases. Finding on the nest day that this
bad not been does, and that • proper representation had
not been made to the guardians as to the slate of some of
the persons, he seat fee Mr. Herring and expressed to
that other what his Wine were, bat if these impressions
sated improperly to his pngadloe he was sorry for it.
Mr. Burgess said that one of the great evils which the
board of guardians and the officers of the parish had to
deal with was that of this out being made a court of
appeal for bestir:zed grievanessow the manner in which
they are to disc their duties.
Mr. Norton re that the coot was not one of appeal,
and Mr. Burgos was very mash mistaken in saying so. The
court, however, was as open ose, and it was the duty of a
magistrate—at least he (1/Ir. Berlios) should always feel it
to be his duty—to hear the esophiste of all persons re-
questing his advice, were they paupers or others. At the
same time he wished to state that there was no person less
willing to interfere with the duties of the guardians or the
parish officers so long as those very onerous duties were dis-
abused in a humane and proper spirit ; but finding so over-
whelming a number as twenty-oven persons on the same
day coming to complain of the same pariah, he confessed
that he felt it his province to interfere.
Kr.Burgese, the chairman, and the other members of the
board of guardians, said they had frequent opportunities of
observing the conduct of their relieving officer, Mr. Herring,
and bad occasion to find fault with it.
Mr. Norton replied that he had every reason to suppose
from many commusiostions which bad reached him, that
the board of guardians were too much disposed to place
plicit reliance on the representations of Mr. Herring, while it
was gaits clear that in the most remarkable case relied on
his representations were not correct, for had the family of
the person before the board been visited by him or his de-
puty, Mr. Herring would have found three or four children
in • state ofnakednese, and without a bit of fire. He (Mr.
Norton) always believed the guardiane of Newington pariah
to be most humane sad desirous to do anything in their
power to alleviate the sufferings of the poor, but he did
not think those necessary inquiries as to the state of the poor
was made by their officers.
Mr. Burgess here read the resolution of the board of guar-
dians, acquitting Herring of all blame, and requested that
he might leave a copy, but
Mr. Norton objected to the document on the ground that
it impugned the accuracy of the report of the proceedings
before him, which he declared to be perfectly correct.
Mr. Bargees then retired.

This was a meeting for the proof of debts in the ease of
W. Boyce, who had kept the Victoria Hotel, in Castle-
strut, Dover. Nearly the whole of the property in the
boon waselahned seder a bill of sale by a Mr. Marshall ;
but it was contended by the other crediton that the effects,
being in the ceder and disposition of the bankrupt, pained
to the assignees.
Mr. Duncan argued the Cu. on behalf of the claimant,
sad Mr. Bagley for the creditors. Borne decisions of other
ooremistioners were cited in favour of the whole of the pro-
perty, including fixtures, passing under the order and dis-
position clause (Notion 126 of the Bankruptcy Law Cowen-
deck n Act).
His Honour said that though he had gnat respect for the
°Main of his brother commissioners, he was bound to have
a higher respect ter the decisions of the superior courts ;
and it appeared to hint, from all the cases, that by he ge-
neral rale of law, fixtures, whether tenant', or trade fix-
tures, passed to the mortgagee, and could not be regarded
as being in the order and disposition of the bankru_ pt. As
to the other property, which was monease4—Mr. Marshall
having bought the equity of redemptien—ft was quite clear,
even if he Dad an opinion the other Way, that he could not
decide against the mortgagee. The awe was not one that
came within the "order and disposition" dame. The
official assignee (the only one at pretest) would take an
that the Marmara had only such articles of furniture as were
specified in his inventory.

This insolvent, a baker, who had tempted accommodation
bills, and was opposed by the Karylebone Loan Society, ap-
peared t.r judgment.
Mr. Sargood, on the part of the insolvent, reminded the
wart that an intimation had been given that the judgment
would be two months from the vesting order. The judg-
ment was a lenient one, and had, no doubt, been influenced
by the feet, that the insolvent had lest his wife since he had
been in confinement. There was, however, another cir-
cumstance in the case which he hoped would induce the
court not to p.m the judgment intended, and that was, that
the insolvent had a child in a very bad state of health. The
judgment reseeded would expire in nine day*, and under
the piled alminmannes he had mentioned, whips the
teat wad intend ha leniency so that the insolvent might
have the seliellellem of tending his child in its serious
diem.
The Meshes% eanilimed the statement of the learned
counsel, ark is answer to the court, said his child wu in a
decline, a Mesh Wen his wife died.
Mr. Cumiselemer Phillips, tinder all the Menautences,

LAUNCH OF HER MAJESTY'S NEW STEAM

YACHT.

Her Majesty's magnificent new steam yacht the
Victoria and Albert, to complete which every artisan of the
establishment has of late been employed from daylight until
ten o'clock at night, was launched at Pembroke on Tota-
-1 day last, the 16th inst.

In the construction of this vessel the aid of ell the talent
of the Surveyor's dep►rtment has been employed ; and,
judging heat her appearance, it may truly be said with
every pordble success. Her bow is a perfect wedge, her
run clan and beautiful, and her whole model such tato
ensure the pietist speed. She has been built upon the
diagonal plea, sad is ooluoqueatly exceedingly strong, though
not of heavy souttling. Her frame timbers, cut from the
lightest wood compatible with the reqeisite strength, an
not, as in onus= ewes, placed some distance apart, but
in immediate contact with each other, firmly bolted and
dowelled together, forming one entire mass from stem to
stenspoet. Ti these a diagonal course of planking is se-
curely nailed. This is covered with a coating of oiled thick
paper, and then there is another planking running in an
oppoeite diagonal direction. Oa this there is a layer of
thick felt, and then a final planking fore and aft. These
are all bolted together and clinched inside and out, so that
any movement of a portion without disturbing the whole
fabric is impossible. The whole space from the paidle-
boxes aft is devoted to the anossroodetion of royalty. On

the upper deck there is s large dining-room 24 ft. by 17 ft.,
glazed ell round, sad in the roof a camera obscure is fixed,
affording a picture of all that Is passing around. There
are also two glued alcoves from which an uninterrupted view
is obtained of the surrounded scenery. Oa the second deck
are the royal apartments, the bulkheads and ceilings of
which ere all lined with thick felt, so that neither found
nor moisture can penetrate. The state cabin is 21 feet by 17,
and the royal bed chamber 19 by 14, with a drooling room
at each end. The cabins are thoroughly ventilated by
means of pipes parsing up through the ship's sides, and ter-
minating at the gunwale upon deck.
The launch took plant about four o'clock, and was at-
Waded by a very large concourse of spectators. The °m-
ammy of naming was performed by Lady Milford. A
handsome little tool sheet, lined with crimson velvet, sad
containing a chisel and mallet, was presented to her lady-
ship, with whisk she severed the cord that released the
superinsumbest mess, sad the yacht at once most enceess-
fully rushed into the waters of the haven.
The following are some of her prinsipel Matadors :
Length over all, 340 feet; ditto between the perpendiculars,
300 ft. ; ditto of keel for tonnage, 275 ft. ; breadth extreme,
40 ft. 3 in. ; ditto for tonnage, 40 ft. ; ditto moulded, 39 ft. ;
depth of hold, 24 ft. ; berthas, 2,942 tons; power, 600

CIiACOW, JAN. IS.
A deeply unfavourable sensation wits crested in
this city on its being known that the Russia. go-
vernment bait, by a new decree, totally prohibited the
exportation from the kingdom of Poland of wheat

and every other article of consumption not previously
yyrrooh~iikited. It is scarcely necessary to add, that the
*hole provisos of Gallicia and Austrian
which were hitherto almost totally dependent on
Poland for their supplies of corn, will be reduced by
this new decree to a state bordering upon famine.
Several hundred waggons which were loaded with
corn, and on their way from Poland to this city,
were stopped by the Russian custom-holm autho-
rities on the frontier, and confiscated. The prime of
wheat and other provisions have, in consequence,l
risen to a most fabulous height, which can only be
paid by the more wealthy asoses, whilst the poorer
inhabitants are nearly abandoned to famine and de-
spair. It is to be hoped that the Austrian gov.ern-
meat will take active steps to counteract the misery
staring us in the face.

TEE PARISH OF CLERKENWELL.

A numerously attended public meeting was held last
night, as the Crews' Tavern, Clerktnwell.green, take
into consideration the conduct of Mr. Bennett, the relieving
officer of this palish, in reference to the melancholy death
lately reported in the proceedings of the Clorkenwell Police
Court; and also in relation to the late suicide of Mr. Wray,
au inhabitant of Cleikenwell for the lest GO years, supposed
to be induced by refusal of parochial relief."
Mr. RowLzr, the chairman, opened the proceedings by
reading sancta from the newspapers of the 9th inst., in
which Mr. Bennett was stated to have reused relief to a
poor man, named Gaylord, and his wife; in consequence of
which refusal the latter died in great misery. It was also
alleged against Mr. Bennett that he bad denied relief
to Mr. Wray, a man in the great distress, very irfi•m,
and upwards of seventy years of age, on the ground that be
was still able to work, and that his conduct in that respect
had led to the melancholy suicide of the unhappy man ;
ether accusations of a similar character were also brought
against Mr. Bennet.
On the motion of Mr. Becby, seconded by Mr. Menu,
it w■s resolved " That, in consrqueuce of the statements
published in the newspapers, the meeting was desirous of
hearing an explthetion from Mr. Bennett, or from some
person on his behalf.
Mr. M.Dortatn, a guardian, informed the meeting that
the board of guardians bad already instituted an inquiry
into all the circumstances of the case, and suggested the pro-
priety of postponing any discussion until the result of the
inquiry was known.
Mr. PowittL, the medical officer of the parish, read the
statement made at the police•cfce by the man Orford, and
denied every fact alleged by him. He had culpably neg-
lected hie wife, and he was responsible for her death if any
one was.

The man Garford vindicated himself from the charges
made against him, and reiterated the statement he had
made before the magistrate.
It was ultimately resolved on the motion of Mr. Beeby,
seconded b Mr. Carter, that the meeting should be ad-
journed to Thursday evening nest, to await the result of
the inquiry instituted b) the board of guardians.
Thanks were voted to the chairman, and the meeting

A RUSSIAN VIEW OF THE FALL OF

In an article in the Russian organ Le Nord,
headed " Anglo-French Alliance after the Destruction
of Sebastopol," it is observed :—" In the relative situ-
ation of the Allies themselves and of the Continental
States, the destruction of Sebastopol by its heroic
defenders is a very middling (tru-mediocre) triumph,
and, es a moral check, is far less important than it
would have been had it ooeurred at the outset of the
war. Sebastopol was only a town fortified in haste
during the siege itself; but events made it one of the
bulwarks of the independence of Europe. It falls
into ruins, but not without having proved in the
meantime that the western coalition is not irre-
sistible, and that its seductions and its menaces ire
perhaps more efficacious than its armies and its
Elate."

RUSSIA.

The Emperor of Russia is accompanied in his
southward journey by the Grand Dukes Michael and
Nicholas, his brothers, Constantine being left at St.
Petersburg. Some of the German journals caution the
public against drawing inferences from this journey,
because, say they, it was resolved on before the Sebas-
topol news of the Bth was to hand. But this [is only
tens of the Warsaw journey, postponed, if not aban-
doned. The departure for Odessa was a sudden act.

A letter from Vienna, given in Le Nord, states
that among the two thousand horses bought by the
English officers for the army in the Crimea, a large
number were lately belong',( to the Austrian ca-

three mouths ago, when the supernumerary animals
were sold. These hones were to be embarked imme-
diately on board steamers, and to be conveyed from
Path to Routschouk. Tin would afterwards be
taken to Varna, and thence conveyed in transports to
Balaklava. The Danube Steam Navigation Com-
pany is to receive 46 francs for each horse carried to

latest news from the Rtunian army in the Crimea:
General Mentehikoff, menaced at once by the bulk of
the allied Army and by the form disembarked at Enos-
basis, had sailed in all his detached corps. A council of
war was held immediately after the arrival of Baron Osten-
&ekes, when it wu resolved to await the arrival of the
third corps, and the reserve of the fourth, and then to take
eteesive =wares.

WARSAW, JAN. 4.
Three Belgian rifle manufacturers have engaged
to found a manufactory of arms here, and are daily
expected. Prince Paskiewitch and the; Emperor
will make a tour of inspection, which will include
all the head-quarters of the active army corps.
General von Debit, the head of the engineering
'service, arrived yesterday, and is to inspect all the
fortresses in this kingdom. The heavy snow-fell has
put a stop to all travelling by railway.

CONSTANCE, JAI/. 2.

Recruiting for the English army is proceeding in
Switzerland with decided success. The bounty much
exceeds that offered by the Pope and the King of
Naples, both of whom have been drawing large
numbers of young Swiss into their service. In the
Berns Oberland, the French Jura, and in the
neighbourhood of Geneva work is :scarce, and those
districts will doubtless yield a large number or
recruits.

VIENNA, Ult. 7.

To support and justify its neutrality, the Prussian
cabinet has obtained from the Czar an engagement
having the force of a treaty, to the effect that he
will not attack Austria.

7, JAN. 8.

The Prussian government hu directly refused to
admit that the anus fcederis of the convention of
April 20 has yet arisen, and declines to supply the
required troops. Bavaria, Saxony, and Wurtem-
berg, will, in this instance, support Prussia. The
resolution of Hanover is uncertain. Austria will
appeal to the Diet.

Advice' from Vienna state that the convention
between Austria and France for securing the tran-
quillity of Italy has not been signed, nor will be until
the treaty of Dec. 2 shall result is an offensive
1 alliance between the two Powers.

A letter from Metz says :—" During the last
month we have sent by railway for Marseilles and
Toulon, for the army of the East, upwards of a
million of Congreve rockets, large bombs, and
howitzer hells, and 150,000 kilogrammes of gun-
powder."

The idea that the negotiations for pesos may
perhaps attain a successful issue, has caused a fur-
ther rise and considerable excitement in the English

per cent. since yesterday afternoon. The price for
the Bth February has ranged between 91i and 921

A CORPORATION BANKRUPT.
The Belfast Mercury makes the strange announce- ,
meat that the corporation 0 Belfast is bankrupt—
that it has, in fact, failed, with a debt of 280,0001. ;
an amount borrowed putty under acts of parliament,
and partly without such authority. "Thu money,"
says the local journal, "is repayable, as in the case o
railway companies, at stated periods; and it appears
that, from some cause or other, or perhaps from more
causes than one, there have been dementia for repay-
ment which the council cannot meet. The necessary
consequence is that which occurs when any merchant
cannot meet his engagements—it is, in plain terms, a
failure! We understand that a printed circular has
been sent round among the creditors, giving explana-
tions and making statements;* but as we have not
seen one of these, and are therefore in ignorance
except as to the main fact, we shall be the more re-
served at present in our remarks. That all the ere
ditors of the town are sufficiently secured, and that
their interest and capital will be paid to them, is be-
yond any doubt; but what • mockery of municipal
government, and what a scandal to the whole town,
that we are placed in this situation, as the result of
rastmadneas and party incapatity—we will say,
incapacity." Belfast, it may be observed,
has always borne the name of the mast " practical
town" in Ireland.

THE BLOCKADE IN THE EUXINE.

(MOS AX OCCASIONAJ. COllll.lO/
I • XLWI.)

187 DiTLI

DICIOIIIII 88.
The Sea of Asoff is not blockaded: some three or
fear ships daily pass in and about—the same number
lout. Kutch is foil of neutral ships: this could
be euily stopped by one steamer. The present
arrangement merely drives the very profitable trade
into the hands of the Austrians and other neutrals to
the loss of the British trader. It is credibly stated
that very many Russian merchants are now engaged
in a very lucrative business of carrying their goods
under Austrian colours from Russian to Greek houses,
and that so far from the war being a loss to merchants
in the Burin., it is a question if they have not gained
by it. To stop this it is only necessary to give posi-
tive orders to our fleet in the Black Sea, and to a
fortnight most of the merchant ships would be prizes
to our cruisers, and then a guardahip in the Bospho-
rus would be sufficient to effectually prevent all
ingress or egress to the B!ack Sea, and a stoppage to
all Russian trade in those seas would probably be
a more serious blow to Rassie than our investing
Sebastopol, and give our sailors; a chance for some
prize money.
