LORD ReoLem,--In the Rouse of Commons, on
Friday, Mr. Thomas Duneombe will ask the Under Secre-
tary for War, " whether there is any objection to ley upon
the table copies of any letters or despatches that have puma
between Lord Raglan and the Minister for War, relative to
the wants of the army in the Crimea."

AN AND3TocaeTicAL CABINET.—The new cabinet
contains only one member—one out of 14—without a title,
via., Mr. Vernon Smith.

DISTURBANCES AT BALLARAL—By advice. from
Melbourne to the 2nd of December, we learn that disturb-
ances of a serious character were taking place at Ballarat.
The cause was a refusal on the part of the diggers to pay
the " license "—a decision adopted at a monster meeting
on the previous Jay. Shots had teen exchanged between
the diggers and the police, and combatants on both sides bad
been wounded.

Placard, have been posted in Southampton stating
that 600 labourers are wanted at the intended military
camp at Alderahott, in Surrey. Labourers applying for
employment must each bring a pickaxe and shovel.
MRRCHANT SEAMAN'S ORPHAN ABTLVM.—At the
general annual meetiag of the governors of this institution
held on Monday at the London Tavern, O. C. Clarke, Esq.,
in the chair, eight boys and four girls were elected from •
List of 36 candidates. The report read stated that there were
at present in the asylum 114 children, sad that, owing to
the double income tax, and the dearnem of provisions, the
committee could not report very favourably of the prospe-
rity of the institution, but that they had, notwithstanding,
resolved upon admitting a larger number of children than
usual in order to reduce, as far as lay in their power, the
number of destitute orphans which the recent melancholy
shipwreck. had thrown upon the sympathy of the public.
The committee tendered their best thanks to Lord John
Russell for presiding at the last annual dinner, and to the
East India Company, and the Trinity House, for their
liberal donations. The statement of accounts showed a ba-
lance in hand and at the bankers of 1861. Os. 7d.

CIRCULATION or Berm NOTES.—A fresh return,
moved for by Mr. Glyn, has just been issued of the diminution
in the paper circulation of the country, caused by Tarim
basks having ceased to issue notes since the Bank Charter
Aet of 1844. The total shows as increase of 8,7371. since
) last year, and is now 706,0621.
• THE CASE Or MR. PEATHERSTONILtUGH.—It may
. be remembered that some months ago a man, named Befil,
laid a complaint against Mr. Featherstanbaugb. the English
' consul at Havre, of having defrauded him of 60f., which he
alleged had been received for him for services rendered in
tryiag to arrest a runaway English bankrupt. On Saturday
• last Mr. Feathentonhaugh appeared before the Tribunal
of Correctional Police of Havre to answer the charge. He
said that he had not before appeared, not from any disre-
spect to French justice but from the belief that, as consul of
the Queen of England, be was responsible to her Majesty
alone. The Tribunal, is its judgment, declared that Bali
had falsely accused Mr. Featherstonhaugh, and it accord-
ingly dismissed the complaint. It further condemned Boffi
to pay the coats.
AurritALTAN MAILS.—With reference to an an-
nouncement which has appeared, respecting a contract for
the conveyance of the mails to Australia by sailing vessels,
we are requested to state that this contract will not prevent
the re-employment of steam yowls, when the exigencies of
the war shall no longer prevent their ase ; as the Post-
master-General has reserved a power to terminate the con-
vect at any time, by giving a notice of six week.
THE BALAKLAVA RAlLWAY.—Advisee from Bala-
klava of the 10th state that the railway had wound its way
up the greater part of the main street of the town; and the
engine had been astonishing the Turks by great puffs of
steam from its iron lungs, and by sundry shrieks and screams
as it had been pot in play by the engineers outside the Poet-
office-yard, in order to see if its constitution had suffered by
the sea voyage. The railroad is simply constructed : the
wooden sleepers are laid down longitudinally over a bed of
stones on the road, and the rails are fastened down on them.
It nearly fills up the breadth of the main street. About 50
yards of rail have been laid down in the street, bat the road
is in many places in a state of forwardness, and will soon be
ready to receive the rails.
INUNDATIONS IN ITALIL—The Florence, Pisa, and
Leghorn Railroad received considerable damage in two
places on the 16th, by the inundation caused by the Arno ;
in consequence of which the trains have ceosed to run. A
letter from Florence, of the 20th, says that the inundation
1 his caused the greatest desolation in the environs of Pin ;
I that the crops are ruined, large numbers of cattle drowned,
and several houses washed away. At Rome the inunda-
tions have caused great alarm. _ _
