LOCAL DUES ON SHIPPING BILL.

On Monday, on the motion for bringing up the
report from the Committee of Supply,
Mr. M. GIBSON requested some more definite in-
formation touching the arrangement which had
been effected at an earlier hour of the evening's
sitting with regard to the subject of local dues on
shipping.
Lord PALIIERSTON stated that the terms of the
motion for referring the question to a select com-
mittee had been adapted to the amendment proposed
by Sir F. Thesiger.
Mr. DISRAELI explained the motives on which that
amendment had been framed. In its original form
the motion for reference instructed the committee to
inquire into the means of carrying out the report of
the commissioners, and as this embodied the chief
objection to the scheme, namely, the confiscation of
corporate property, the amended version was pro
posed, by which the whole subject would be placed
for investigation before the select committee, and lie
rejoiced to find that the Government had consented
to adopt this modification.
The subject then dropped, and the report was
brought up and agreed to.

Colonel Shirley, C. 8., 88th Regiment, has suc-
ceeded to the command.of the South Wales district.
Colonel Shirley commanded the second brigade of
the light division, and was commander-in-chief at
the successful attack on the Quarries, June 7, 1855.
Mr. Henry Bedwell, Assistant-Surgeon at the
Garrison Hospital at Chatham, has been dismissed
the service by Dr. Andrew Smith. Mr. Bedwell is
the assistant-surgeon charged with manslaughter by
lately causing the death of a soldier by giving a dose
of opium in mistake.
General George Wright, Colonel-Commandant of
the Engineers, died last week.

A Royal Warrant has been issued, cancelling the
warrant of the 23rd Oct., 1855, with reference to the
allowance to the widows and families of officers killed
in the present war. The warraht of the 15th June,
1855, is to remain in full force.

A court-martial was held on Monday, at Ports-
mouth, on Commander Warren and the other officers
and crew of H.M.S. Polyphemus, for the loss of that
vessel on the 29th of Jan. last, off the north west
coast of Jutland. Admiral Sir R. S. Dundas com-
mander-in•chief of the Baltic fleet, presided over
a full court of twelve captains from the fleet at
Spithead. The evidence was conclusive as to every
effort having been made to save the ship when once
on the shore, but the court was of opinion that while
running down the coast of Jutland in thick weather
it was imprudent not to slacken speed and take fre-
quent soundings, and adjudged Commander Warren
to be reprimanded for such neglect.
Workmen are engaged at Portsmouth upon about
thirty gun-boats, which are daily being completed.

THE ADDRESS.

Both houses met at two o'clock on Thursday, and
immediately proceeded to Buckingham Palace to
present to the Queen the Address adopted in answer
to her Majesty's Message announcing the re estab-
lishment of peace.
On reassembling, at five o'clock,
The LORD CuAttoELLon in the Lords, and the
SPEAKER in the Commons, rend her Majesty's
answer, which was in the following terms :

I receive with sincere pleasure the loyal and dutiful Ad-
dress which you have presented to we on this occasion.

I heartily thank you for your cordial co-operation in the
measures which I considered necessary for the prosecu•
Lion of a war, which, iu conjunction with my allies, I have
been enabled to conduct to an honourable and successful
termination, by the full accomplishment of the objects for
which it was undertaken.

It is most satisfactory to me to feel that peace has been
re-established on a basis which affords the best security for
its permanence, and I trust that, by God's blessing, it may
long continue to promote the progress of civilisation and
the happiness and welfare of mankind.

ITALY.

Count Cavour arrived in Turin on the 29th. In
answer to interpellations addressed to him on the
6th in the Chamber of Deputies, he declared that
the negotiations now pending on the subject of the
affairs of Italy imposed on him a great reserve

He explained the moral and material advantage arising
out of the treaty of peace. The Italian question has been
brought before the congress, and France and England
have frankly adopted the views of Piedmont.

Aus'xia had met the question by a plea of not discussing
it, but the Italian question has not the less become uow a
European question.
The Minister declared, in conclusion, that the relations
between Sardinia and Austria hod not improved. The
Piedinontese Government placed its whole reliance in the
omnipotence of public opinion.
Letters from Parma announce the departure of
the Duchess Regent and the assumption of authority
by the Austrian Military Commandant. The num-
ber of Austrian troops was being gradually aug-
mented. A large camp was established at Somma,
and the relations between Piedmont and Austria
were not considered pacific. The political prisoners
were sent to Mantua and Styria.
London, England, 1856-05-10

AUSTRIA.

The evacuation of the Danubian principalities is
stated in letters from Vienna to have began, and it
is anticipated that the entire Austrian force will
have left those territories by the autumn.
Ceunt Buol, since his return to Vienna, professes
himself thoroughly satisfied with the treaty of peace,
and with the conduct of the plenipotentiaries. The
appointment of Prince Gortschakoff to the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs at St. Petersburg is not regarded
favorably at Vienna.
PRUSSIA.

The King closed the Chambers in person on the
:3rd. His Majesty's speech mainly adverted to ques-
tions of domestic import, but the opening paragraph
announced the conclusion of peace. "By the wise
moderation of the belligerent powers," be observed,
the long-desired work of peace, has been happily
brought to a conclusion with the co-operation and
common consent of my Government." He antici-
epsted a cheap and plentiful harvest, complimented
the Chambers on the activity they bad shown in the
conduct of their legislative labours, and concluded
by advising them to cultivate concord among them-
selves, so that the country, in friendly rivalry with
other nations, might be enabled more and more to
develop the resources of peace.
A solemn "Te Deum" and thanksgiving for the
restoration of peace was read in all the churches
on the 4th. The King and Omit attended per-
sonally in the cathedral.

POLITICIANS AMONG PICTURES.

TIIF. ROYAL ACADEMY, one hour before the Dinner on Saturday, the 3rd of May. Distin-
guished Personages are promenading the rooms, examining the pictures.
Lord PALMERSTON. Very good Exhibition indeed. Highly grati-
fying. All excellent, some remarkably so. Art is decidedly making
progress. What's that Indian subject, there ? Smith, what's that—
it's in your way? That Indian thing.
Mr. SMITH (looks at catalogue). It isn't Indian, it's a view in Cairo.
Lord PALMERSTON (suddenly). Come now Smith, don't try to sell
us.Do you mean to say that Cairo isn't in India?
Mr. SMITH (startled). Well—no—Cairo—at least—what one usually
calls India is not—of course I know where it is. A very fine picture.
Lord PALMERSTON.—Yes, it is; but, hang it, Smith, suppose any-
body heard you. You ought to know that Cairo is in India.
Mr SMITH (angrily).—l tell you, of course I know it.
Mr. OSBORNE (gravely).—O, all very well, then. Only from your
manner one might have thought you fancied it was in Spain, or Egypt,
or anywhere, mio Caro. _ _ _

Mr. SMITH.—I suppose you consider that a joke ? How do you
like the Lord Mayor, there ?
Lord PANMURE.—Eh? 0, I see. Holding out the robe to show all
the fine pattern at once—very national. What's that—the gouty man
lictating the letter—what's it called 9

Lord PiLNIERSTON (pretending to read) —lt's called "Take care of
Dowb." What a shame. I must speak to Eastlake to alter the title.
That's a capital likeness of Sir Colin.
Mr. OSDORNE.—Yes. Just as be appeared when giving his cele-
brated answer to the question " Whom shall we hang?"
1,0111 PASMIIRE.—Hard words just break no bones. What's the
" Triumph of Music " I see in the catalogue ?
Sir C. Levels.—Haveu't you seen it?—find it out—it's Ben Hall in
Rensingtqn-gardens.
Lord PatimunE.—Eh? I must see that. I say, isn't it odd that
there are not more pictures about the war ? I expected to find nothing
but carmine and cannon-smoke.

Lord PALMERSTON.—['m told there were a good many, but the
titles were all so infernally personal to the War-office, " Neglect,",
" What Boots it Where thy Soldier Lies," " The Domain of King Log,'
aud .0 on, that the Academy rejected them. as a matter of tact.
Lord PANMURE.—I don't believe a word of it. Lets see the cata•
lope. " The Abandoned "—what's that"
Lord PALMERSTON.—No, no ; at your time of life that's not the kind
of picture far you—there's a church, look at that. I'm going to church
to-morrow.

Mr. OSBORNE.—What's to-morrow?
Lord PALMERSTON.—Fourth Sunday before Fireworks, you young
Pagan. That animal comes out well, that Tapir.
Mr. F. PEEL—Where?
Lord PALUERSTON.—Not a red taper, Fred : keep still.

MOCK " LIBERALS."

Tua conduct of certain " M.P.'s " in the
" Liberal Party " ought not be overlooked at
the present time;; The fact that there are
about a score of gehtlemen who advertise
themselves to the world by blustering speeches
and brawling votes as M Is-dependent Liberals,"
but who always rapidliiijush to Ministers when
in real peril, is a fact often discussed in poli-
tical circles. The members to whom we allude,
taken singly, are of third-rate importance, but
when Mr. Hansa artfully amalgamates them
they have considerable force. It is time that
some of their constituencies should take, ob-
jection to their flagrant insincerity. They
talk in the House of Commons a political
patois which might almost pass current for
the corrupted dialect of every party in the
State, but on emergency their conformity with
Ministers has something wonderful. It is
worth while taking a close view of these gen-
tlemen, who represent nothing so faithfully as
the lubricity of Liberalism.

POSTSCRIPT.

SARDINIA AND AUSTRIA.

IMPORTANT CoMMUNICATION TO THE CHAMBERS AT

TL7tl\,

Intelligence from Turin, Dlay 0, states :

The memorandum presented by the Count de Carour
and the Marquis de Yil'marina to the Chambers,
shows :--

That Austria having, at the Conferences, refused to dis•
cuss the condition of Italy, Sardinia, as the only State
which offers a barrier to revolution, demands the co—
operation of England and France in carrying out reforms.
It shows that the evils of Austrian occupation are op-
posed to the interests of Italy and Europe, and contrary to
treaty, humanity, and justice.
Finally, the memorandum calls on England and France
to unite with Sardinia iu the application of efficacious
remedies.

the movement for multiplying services in Wales.
The bishop, having ascertained that the warden had
invited several of the clergy of the deanery of
Dyffryn Clwyd to join the movement, wrote to the
rev. gentleman on the 26th Feb., and threatened him
with prosecution if he did not retrace his steps. The
warden replied, when the bishop returned a second
answer :

You have sent me a sheet of foolscap paper full of non-
sensical and impertinent trash as might be expected from
a young man of your calibre. It is to be regretted that
this sheet of foolscap cannot be applied to its original use
—that you cannot be sent, with a foolscap on your head,
and a fool's rod at your breech, to be whipped through the
precincts of Christ's Hospital, and the main street of the
town of Ruthin.
After a further correspondence, the bishop closes the

subject with a notice that at the expiration of three
months he sball revoke the rev. gentleman's license.

to the demands of Europe, and denies that France
desired any but a satisfactory peace. With respect
to the terms of peace, the neutralisation of the Black
Sea is regarded as satisfactory, and is asserted to
imply, in a moral sense, " the complete suspension of
a war marine at Nicolaieff," while the writer points to
the position of Turkey maintaining the same force as
Russia in the Black Sea, with power of appeal to the
allies, as sufficient to prevent Russia from contemplat-
ing an infringement on her obligations contracted.
The " union " of the principalities is regarded with
most favour, the present political state of Europe re-
viewed, and the Italian question timidly touched on:—
Our good understanding (observes the author) with the
secondary States of Europe and Italy may have happy
results beyound the East itself. If our policy is rather
to moderate Piedmont than to encourage her in certain
hopes, we evidently desire the prosperity of Piedmont, as
proved in the protocols ; but venturing beyond certain
combinations we should disapprove. If the Austrian
alliance puts us in a position to apply a conservative policy
to the Governments of the Peninsula, that of Piedmont
permits us to hope we can prevent those exaggerations of
liberalism which compromise reforms which the Congress
of Paris views as legitimate.

TIIE TURKISH TARIFF.

Lord PAL3tE:usTort, nu Monday, in reply to Mr.
Wise, said that, instead of the tariff affixed to the
treaty of 1838, a fixed tariff would be established,
settling for seven years the value of each commodity,
upon which value nine per cent. was to be levied.
With regard to the Danubian provinces they regulated
their own scale of duties, and he believed that at
present there was no other duty levied in those
provinces but the export duty of three per cent. In
further reply to Mr. Roebuck as to whether the
Turkish Government had offered to do away with
internal duties upon the transport of goods, Lord
Palmerston was not aware of any offer being made
except that established by treaty.

CASE OF T. DUN! E.

Mr. KENNEDY called attention to the technical
flaws which had occurred during the trial of Thomas
Dunne, as concerned in the murder of Miss Hinds.
These !Jaws, be argued, had vitiated the verdict of
guilty then returned against the prisoner, who was
now lying under sentence of death ; and be com-
plained of the conduct of the Irirdi Attorney• General
in refusing to grant his fiat for a writ of error, in
order to a new trial of the case. _

Mr. J. FITZGERALD explained and vindicated the
course he had adopted in the case ; expressing his
conviction that no legal grounds existed for ehal.
lensing or revising the original verdict of the jury.
Further legal arguments were offered by Sir A.
Cockburn, Mr. Whiteside, Mr. Napier, and other
members, and the subject dropped.
London, England, 1856-05-10

THE CASE OF CIRCASSIA.

WHATEVER may be thought of the case of Cir-
cassia now, the time is not far distant when
the neglect of our Government to insist on the
freedom of the eastern coast of the Black Sea
will be esteemed among the greatest blunders
ever committed by a British Ministry. It was
an object directly included in the legitimate
aims of the war, and it was an object of easy
practical attainment.

The coast of Circassia is stated to extend
for two hundred and thirty miles on the east
coast of the Black Sea. To that coast Russia
has no just claim, either de jure or de facto.
It can only be hers by right of occupation, but
that occupation she has never achieved.
By her war with the Caucasian tribes she
has made that coast debateable ground. But is
it for the interest of Europe, now that the
Black Sea has been taken under European
superintendence, that so large a tract of sea-
board should continue unsettled—that it
should remain a doubtful point whether that
coast belongs to its natural masters, the occu-
piers of the land, or to Russia ? Can it be
said that the Black Sea is pacificated when the
contest for the sovereignty of this long line of
coast will certainly be resumed as soon as

Russia has again made preparations to in-
vade it. _ .

Thc coast is the key to the conquest of the
whole Caucasus. The Russian forts were
built to cut the people off from all communi-
cation with the Western world. On three
sides they are completely surrounded by
Russian power ; and, if their Black Sea coast
can be blockaded also, their reduction is cer-
tain, though it may be long delayed.
If that coast were open, there would, by
means of the various tribes, be a communica-
tion kept up through the whole extent of the
Caucasus. If that coast be closed, the tribes,
completely blockaded by Russia, will be com-
pelled to submit to her dominion.
Had the position been taken up when the
negotiation commenced that there could be
no pacification of the Black Sea without an
entire abandonment of the Russian forts on
the Circassian coast, it is very unlikely that
Russia would have refused a condition so
reasonable in itself, and requiring no surren-
der of her actual rights. The whole coast of the
Black Sea would then have been open to com-
merce and the independence of the Cauca-
sian tribes by that simple provision would have
been secured. As it is, the coast will soon be
in a state of blockade, the Russian forts will
be reoccupied, the war in the Caucasus will
again break forth, and perhaps, as the war
between Turkey and Russia which terminated
in the Treaty of Adrianople was caused by the
alleged assistance given by Turkey to the
Caucasian tribes, a like cause may again pro-
duce a similar result.

TURKEY.

Intelligence from Constantinople of 'the 21st. gives
the following account of the Circassian movement :
When the Circassians, on receiving the news of the con-
elusion of peace, learned that nothing had been stipulated
for them, and that nothing was changed in their condition,
they displayed a good deal of agitation, and 4,000 or 5,000
of them assembled at Anapa. There a deliberation took
place between 300 and 400 of the chiefs of the principal
families, and it was decided that representations should
be addressed to Turkey and to the Western powers. An
address was drawn up in Arabic, to be presented to the
Sultan, to the Emperor Napoleon, and to the Queen of
England, and it was decided that it should be sent off by
a deputation of twelve Circassians. The address says
that from the beginning of the war up to the present time
not a single Russian had appeared on the Circassian terri-
tory, and that during the whole of that time the Circas-
sians had preserved order, and had administered their
affairs in their own way; that things had not gone on the
worbe for that, and that having enjoyed absolute indepen-
dence they intended to do all in their power to preserve it;
that consequently they would incessantly combat the

Russians, and that they asked Turkey and the Western
powers to support them. Some of the members of the
assembly of Anapa declared that if Turkey and Europe
were to abandon them, they would go to St. Petersburg to
give in their submission. But that is more to menace
than anything else, for they say that if Circassia were to
be annexed to Russia, Turkey would have no frontiers in
that part of the empire, and would have to fear the greatest
dangers; and Sefer Pacha, a Circassian chief, who pos•
Messes great influence amongst bis countrymen, declares
that, for his part, if Circassia be abandoned to her own
resources, he will make a war of partisans, and that death
alone shall make him and his countrymen lay down their
arms. A number of Circassiau►s have already arrived in
Constantinople to endeavour to excite sympathy for their
CAUSE.

The disturbances long fermenting at Mecca have
at last broken out into a serious rebellion. The
Scheriff of Mecca, recalled by the Turkish Govern-
ment, has refused to give up his post, and, backed
by 50,000 Arabs, has virtually thrown off his allegi-
ance to the Sultan. The disturbances at Nablous
were repressed.

LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 10, 1850.

LORD CLARENDON " drifted" into truth in his
speech on Monday night, and allowed us to
see the causes which, apart from his own
weakness of character, compelled him to play
a subordinate part at the Conferences, and,
like the worthy candidate who cried " ditto
ditto," to Mr. BURKE on the hustings at Bristol,
to assent to whatever was urged by the other
Plenipotentiaries. In moving the Address,
Lord ELLESMERE, to magnify the achievements
of Lord CLARENDON, related the difficulties he
had had to encounter, specially enumerating
among them the sentiment which prevailed on
the Continent, that England did not desire
peace, and that her representatives came to
the Conference at Paris with a determination
to disconcert the object for which it was sum-

ned. Let us hear Lord CLARENDON'S own
emarks on this statement :

My lords, my noble friend who moved the Address has
alluded to the difficulties of my position, arising out of a
general belief in the insincerity of England, founded on
the vast preparations which .he was making, as it was sup-
posed, for the sake of military glory, and on the warlike
spirit which was manifested by the Parliament and by the
press of this country. My lords, I became painfully
sensible of the existence of that feeling after I arrived in
Paris. There was a general belief there that we did not
intend to make peace, and that it was our purpose to
drag France on in the war, when she bel,.eved that the
objects for which the war was undertaken had been
attained.

How did this belief that " we did not intend
"to make peace" arise? Lord CLARENDON
says, from the warlike language of the Parlia-
ment and the press; but had the boasting of
the Government nothing to do with it? Who
but those supposed to know the intentions of
the Government were foremost in asserting
that peace would not and should not be con-
cluded except on terms which all rational men
knew to be impracticable? Russia must be
made to pay all the expenses of the war ; the
Crimea must be separated from her empire ;
she must be deprived of her Asiatic provinces,
and be driven back behind the Caucasus. On
the Continent, and especially in Paris, it was
believed that the Ministerial party which so
clamorously insisted on these conditions,
would never sanction a peace which not only
left these, but more necessary though more
humble, terms unfulfilled. Lord CLAREN-
DON, then, found his position, from the first,
embarrassing. He protested his sincerity in
vain. No one would believe him. To disarm
mistrust, he gave up the right which belonged
to him as the representative of England, of
insisting on terms essential to the validity of
the principles which the Treaty affirmed.
It is of no great consequence now to inquire
whether the other members of the Conference
were really deceived as to Lord CLARENDON'S
intentions, or whether they only pretended to
be so. They must soon have perceived their
advantage, and seen to what account it could
be turned. The English Plenipotentiaries
were muzzled, and the whole work of negotia-

THE HOLIDAYS.

Lord PALIEBSTON moved that the house at its
rising should adjourn to the 19th inst., over the
W hitsuntide holidays.

The motion gave.rise to a long and miscellaneous
discussion, but was ultimately agreed to.

POLITICAL AVNESTT.

In reply to Mr. T. Dunconibe,
Lord PALMEM.TON confirmed the announcement
that an amnesty was to be granted, in recognition of
the peace for all political offences. Liberty would be
thus accorded to Frost, Williams, Jones, and Smith
O'Brien; the only exception being with respect to
those exiles who bad broken their parole.
