THE TEARS OF INDIA.

Lord Dalhousie was attended t.. 1 the landing-place by a large concourse of gen tlemen, who
evinced the most lively marks of sympathy and sorrow at his departure. Some were literally se.
able to do more thaw bow a farewell ; an attewptto give hint a parting cheer at is boat pushed of

audibly.—Times Calcutta Correspondent.

When the great Ale xander, that mighty commander,
Had finished with India, historians maintain
That he sat down and roared, the heroical gander.
Because no more kingdoms were left him to gain.

Our great Annexander, who " riz up his dander,"
And seized eve►_y Indian domain that he can,
Departs with dry eyes, and, disdaining to maunder,
He blubbers by deputy—sensible man !

THE LANARKSHIRE COI.LIERS, numbering some
fourteen thousand men, have struck work, on account
of the coal masters giving notice of a reduction of
wages from five to four shillings a day. Large
meetings have been held by the men who have bound
themslves not to work for less than the old rate.
The strike is expected to extend to Renfrew and Ayr.
THE STEAM BOILER OF THE CLYDE GRAIN MILLS
at Glasgow exploded with tremendous force ou Sa-
turday last. The explosion was so violent that the
south gable of the mills, three storeys high, was
blown out, the side walls and roof displaced, a ,table
close by blown completely to atoms, a boy playing in
the street 150 yards off struck on the head with a
brick and killed on the spot, and five men buried in
the ruins, besides several severely injured. A strict
investigation is being held, as it is believed the boiler
was long known to be in a corroded and dangerous
state.

THE DEER OF ST.UNBOROUGH•PARK, BARNSLEY,

A MEETING OF WOMEN was held at the Town-

clever speeches are said to have been delivered by a
Mrs. Woodford and a Mrs. Wigfield. The injustice
of the existing laws, by which a woman is deprived
of all control over her own earnings and offspring,
was vehemently denounced, and it was unanimously
resolved to support the motion of Sir Erskine Perry
for a revision of the marriage laws. A petition to

he said, the endowments of the Established Church
of Ireland, as wcll as t.,.e Presbyterian grant.
Lord PALMERSTON thought the question was one of
polit cal exped ency, as well as of good faith and
justice to the Irish people. As to the education of
the priesthood and its effect, he judged by results,
and would ask if Ireland was ever more loyal than
at present? No one could deny it was better that
the priests should be educated at borne, free from
all those ultramontane prejudices they would acquire
if educated abroad. On these grounds he should
oppose both the motion and amendment.
Mr. SPOONER replied that the question was not
only one of expediency, but one of principle.

ment, when the numbers were—

THE SIEGE OF KARS.

Mr. WHITESIDE, on Monday, said, it might be
convenient to lion. members that he should state
'hat the following were the terms of the motion
which he intended to submit to the house on the
24th inst., relative to the tall of Kars :
That, while this house feels it to be its duty to express
its admiration of the gallantry of the Turkish soldiery, and
of the devotion of the British officers at the siege of Kars,
it feels it to be equally a duty to express its conviction that
the capitulation of that fortress and the surrender of the
army which defended it, thereby endangering the safety of
the Asiatic provinces of Turkey, were in a great measure
owing to the want of foresight and energy on the part of
her Majesty's Administration.

THE DESPATCH OF TROOPS TO BRITISH NORTH

♦MERICA.

Lord PANMITRE, on Thursday, in reply to the Earl
of Elgin, said :

There is a general impression out of doors that a very
large force is about to embark for British North America.
It is quite true that it is our intention to send back to
North America a certain nuenbcr or regiments which were
taken from that part of her Majesty's dominions for the
purpose of carrying on the war ; and it is nut improbable
that in the new organisation of the army, by divisions and
htigades, which is contemplated, there will, over all the
North Amencan provinces, be a small addition to the
British army ; but the impression that we are about to
send thither a large force for purposes of aggression is
entirely without foundation. It is also stated—and I ant
glad to have this opportunity of explaining that too—that
large quantities of munitions of war are being sent to Bri
tish North America. The fact is, that during the war we
drew from the British North American stores almost all
the munitions of war, in the shape of gunpowder and other
materials, which they contained. All that is now being
dune is to repluce the stores which were drawn thence.

the Greeks and others to the Paella. The funeral
of the girl was attended,it is said, by 6,000 Christians,
and in the church a Bulgarian harangued the people,
vehem• ntly demanding justice.
According to the Journal de Constantinople, the
troubles in Arabia, and particularly in the Hedjar
and in Katkiari, continued: 130,000 men were in arms,
and refused to acknowledge the new Governor of
Mecca, who had retired to Cairo; while a positive
insurrection has broken out in Belgradchie, in Bul-
ga is, where a large body of men, headed by an ex-
Russian officer, were attempting to drive the 'Pinks
out of the country. The Christians of Koniah have
demanded the protection of the Sultan against the
Moslems, who were on the verge of revolt after the
publication of the late Haul Seheriff.
The news of peace hail been received indifferently
at Constantinople.
Prince Gregory Ghika had sent in his resignation
as Hospodar of Moldavia to the Sultan.

THE BANK OF FRANCE.

THE monthly statement of the Debtor and Creditor
Account of the Bank of France appeared in the
Moniteur of yesterday ; and we copy the following
analysis of it from the daily circular of Mr. William
Avens, stockbroker, of 13, Tokenhouse-yard, Loth-
bury :
It is, generally, of a more satisfactory character than
the naeceding returns for the last four or five months ;
inasmuch as all the changes which it discloses show that
the management during the crisis bas been firm and
prudent. The policy of discouraging speculation is ob-
viously being still pursued. Compared with the previous
return, the following table will show the principal changes
made in the position of the establishment during the
month expressed in English currency at an exchange of
twenty-five francs to the pound sterling

Increase in Premiums on Purchase

_ .

Increase in Aggregate Liabilities 2,806
Circulation ( December 11)
Stock of Bullion December 11)

The premiums paid upon gold and silver purchases now
amount to 127,1387/. Last month they were 110,5841. A
sum, therefore, has been applied in this irregular manner,
as we deem it, of 17,3231.; but it is satisfactory to observe
that though in November no less than 25,420/. was so
spent in obtaining the precious metals, and the result was
a positive diminution in the stock of 103,4001., no more
than 17,323/. was applied in this way in December, yet
the stock has increased no less than 1,376,9591. That an
improvement bas been effected cannot be denied. Whether
it will be permanent, cr only temporary, we cannot under-
take to say at present; but general indications are certainly
not unfavoriLle to the prospect 01 this item disappearing
from the account, at least for a time. The following table
shows comparatively the advances made by the Bank
in the two months just closed:—

This sum represents, nominally, the further amounts with-
drawn by the Bank, both from the speculators on the
Bourse and from the I.2.gitimate trade of the country ; but
it is evident, from the comparisons given above, that the
Bourse has suffered more than commerce at the hands of
the Bank, for while discounts have only been diminished
to the extent of 311,991/., the advances upon the different
classes of securities have been reduced no less than
t31i0,000/. Whether the Bank in its improved condition
will relax the screw, we do not at present know ; but we
should think not, for it cannot yet be said that a perfectly
natural state of things has been attained, notwithstanding
the vigour of its administration during the past two or
three months.

convenience and economy, are rising on our
outskirts. A house, too, an Englishman will
have,—the system of flats he abominates ;
and it is melancholy to see that noble new
street between Westminster and Pimlico com-
paratively deserted, and partly in process of
destruction. When the dweller in the heart
of London finds that he can have an excellent
house in Pimlico or elsewhere for the same

exchange? Business will always, as we have
said, detain a certain number of residents east
of Pall-mall. The question is. must we not
legislate concerning our public buildings,
bridges, and improvements generally with an
eye to that incessant, though silent, tide of
emigration which is ever setting in " toward

THE PRESS.

A splendid pavilion had been erected for the Queen in
the midst of that great camp at Aldershott, and her Ma.
jesty had remained there with her Court for days and
nights, entertaining the officers at dinner, and inspecting
the soldiers on parade. A few weeks ago he saw an
Recount in the public newspapers of her Majesty having
gone down to the pavilion, and having witnessed in the
camp a theatrical performance, the players being officers
of the different regiments. This he thought was a novel
course to be pursued by a Sovereign of England.
Mr. Williams then expressed his solemn opinion
that the excuse for saddling the country with a large
army on the plea of efficiency was idle—that was an
old excuse. When the late war broke out the army
was totally inefficient, except with regard to the dis.
ciplinc and bravery of the soldiers, who saved the
honour and credit of the country when the officers
alone were incapable of discharging their duties.
And he was convinced
that if this country should be unfortunate enough to be
involved in war within five years from this time the army,
as tar as the officers were concerned, would be found just
as unprepared for war as it was at this moment, and its
whole management would fall into incompetent aristocratic
hands.

AUSTRIA.
It is very generally stated in the German papers
that, though several matters are to be discussed at
the Conference, the only question connected with
the treaty of the 30th of March now to be settled is
that of the Bessarabian frontier question. As soon
as Russia has promised to cede New Bolgrad, and to
withdraw her troops from that part of Bessarabia
which now belongs to Moldavia, the Austrians will
quit the Danubian principalities, and the English
the Black Sea. The commission for the reorganisa-
tion of Moldavia and Wallachia will not go to
Bucharest before the evacuation of those provinces
is complete.
The Austrian Correspondenz, of the 2nd, publishes
a very vague denial of the presentation to the Porte
of a Russian. Franco note, alluded to in THE PRESS
of last week. The note was presented by the French
Ambassador alone. M. de Boutenieff, the Russian
Ambassador, put into the hands of the Grand Vizier
a note not verbally similar to that received from
M. Thouvenel, but one in which the same ideas were
expressed in other words.
The Emperor and Empress continue in Lombardy.
The Archduke Charles Ferdinand, it is said, will be
the successor of Marshal Radetzky.

until now The applications made to the superintendents
of the Augaburgh and Helvetic ( Lutheran and Calvinist)
Confessions for information and for religious instruction
are so numerous " that they literally do not know which
way to turn." The intense disgust caused by the new
marriage laws is the principal reason why so many persons
desire to secede from the Roman Church.

THE MURDER OF MR. LITTLE.
(By English and Irish Magnetic Telegraph.)
DUBLIN, Friday Morning.
A discovery, which it is hoped may lead to still
further results, was yesterday made at the Broad-
stone Terminus, shortly after 12 o'clock. A hamper
being required for some purposes in connection wish
the works, one of the foremen proceeded to a store
in the locomotive department, and in one of the
hampers discovered a bag containing a quantity of
silver amounting to 431. 17s. ed. The bag and even
the running strings were dripping wet, and could
only have been a very short time—probably not
more than a few minutes—in the position in which
it was found. The police entertain no doubt what-
ever that the bag was one of those used by Mr.
Little to hold his money, and the suspicion before
entertained that the murderer was a person con-
nected with the railway has received forcible confir-
mation. There was a large tank of water immedi-
ately under where the bag was found, and also some
butts in one store filled with water ; but there was
no trace or mark of spots such as would have been
made in lifting the bag out of these. The probabi-
lity is, that it was carried in a pail or some other
receptacle to avoid observation.—The Times (Second
Edition, Friday).

The note then offers in proof of the good faith of
Russia to obtain an honest and faithful interprets•
tion of the treaty of Paris, the facts th at when " the
Ottoman Porte expressed the wish that the islands
of the delta of the Danube might be placed under
her direct authority, instead of being annexed to
Moldavia, as arranged by Art. 21," Russia declared
her willingness to adhere to the request ; that as re-
spects the importance of Bo'grad in a military point
of view, Russia has declared that she will not fortify
the town ; and, finally, that with respect to the
settlement of the frontier, "the Emperor has given
orders to his commissaries that as soon as the
labours of the commission are over on the spot itself,
the territory which falls to Moldavia is to be imme-
diately made over to the Moldavian authorities, with-
out delay, and even without waiting for the signing
of the final convention."
In conclusion, the memorandum expresses a
hope that these two points of minor importance of
detail will be satisfactorily settled, calls attention to
the continued and objectionable occupation of the
Principalities by Austria, and appeals to Fiance to
secure the neutralisation of the Black Sea.

Mr. Williams then sketched the financial year :

He found, from official returns, that the revenue for the
year ending the 30th of September last was 71,300,000 f.
Now, the expenditure for the last year of peace, 1853, was
54,400,1001., which was considerably more than the average
of the preceding twenty years, and if the Government would
not expend more during the next year, 1837, than they did
in 1853 they would have at least a balance of 15,930,001)1,
so that they would be able to dispense with the 13d.
income tax, which produced 15,940,0001., and still have a
balance of 10,0001. to spare.

THE SHEFFIELD TOWN COUNCIL on Wednesday
came to the conclusion that they "viewed with con-
siderable alarm " the prospect that Russia might
retain possession of Bolgrad, and, iu a formal reso-
lution, rdopted an address to the Queen expressing
these views, and praying that her Majesty would
insist upon the enforcement of the treaty of Paris iu
all its integrity.
