TO CORRESPONDENTS.
Will Vaarras state how the Editor may communicate directly
with him ?

It is impossible to acknowledge the mass of letters we receive•
Their insertion is often delayed, owing to a press of matter ;
and when omitted, It is frequently from reasons quite inde-
pendent of the merits of the communication.
We cannot undertake to return communications of which we do
not avail ourselves.
Ccmmunications should always be legibly written, and on one
side of the paper only. If Wog it increases the difficulty of
finding space for them.
Whatever is intended for insertion must be authenticated by the
Lame and address of the writer, not necessarily for publica-
tion, but as a guarantee of his good faith.
Advertisements sent from the country must be accompanied by a
remittance or a reference for payment in town.

The royal assent was given by commission to
several bills.
Some Tontine legislative business was got through,
and their lordships adjourned.

THE PRESS.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-..-Frunix.
A new writ was ordered to issue, on the motion of
Mr. Hayter, for the borough of Marylebone, in the
room of Sir B. Hall, who had accepted office.
Mr. T. CHAMBERS gave notice for next session
of his intention to bring forward a motion on the
subject of convents and nunneries.
Sir J. Pextriormi gave notice also for next session
of a motion respecting general education.
Lords' amendments to the Common Law Pro-
cedure Bill and the Russian Government Securities
Bill were considered and agreed to.
THE SM3PENDED WRITS. - _

The issue of new writs for the boroughs of Cam-
bridge, Canterbury, Maldon, Barnstaple, and King
stop-upon-Hull was moved seriatim by Sir W.
Joliffe.
Mr. T. DUNCONSE opposed the motion in every
instance, and insisted upon dividing the house each
time. His opposition was founded upon a wish to
recommend the ballot, and he took a separate division
upon the distinct proposition that none of the writs
should issue before provision had been made for
enabling the electors of the several boroughs to give
their votes by way of the ballot. This proposition
was negatived by 40 votes to 30.
The several writs were ordered to issue by the fol-
lowing majori'ies:—Cambridge, 46-31; Canterbury,
45-32 ; Maldon, 47-31 ; Barnstaple, 47-31; Hull,
50-30.
In the course of the discussions which took place
between the successive divisions,
Lord JOHN RUSSELL promised that he would renew
next year his attempt to amend the law relating to
controverted eleotioh petitions.

MR. VANDENHOFF, the tragedian, announced reeendy
that he was about to take a final leave of the stage. In
consequence of this announcement a public meeting was
held in the Clarendon Rooms, Liverpool, on Tuesday, to
impress upon him the propriety of reconsidering his de-
termination, as, in the present condition of the British
stage, it was felt that his services could not be dispensed
with. A number of resolutions were passed requesting
Mr. Vandenhoff to accede to the wishes of his friends, and
a deputation was appointed to wait upon him for the
purpose.

that now, as heretofore, all possible provision was
made for the health and comfort of the troops sent
on foreign service. That care was rewarded by the
result, that out of a given muster•roll more men
could be brought to the fiold fit for active duty than
in the armies of any other nation.
The report was agreed to.
UNIVERSITY REFORM. -

The Earl of DERBY on Thursday night referred to
the announcement that the Government did not in-
tend to adopt the plan proposed by the authorities or
Oxford University for the reform of that corpora-
tion, and detailed the various steps and processes by
which the heads of the university had arrived at the
conclusions set forth in their proposition. The noble
earl inquired whether the Ministry would communi-
cate to Convocation their own mcasure for University
Reform before submitting it to Parliament?
The Earl of ABERDEEN declined to give any
pledge to that effect on the part of the Government,
but subsequently consented to a motion made by
Lord Derby for an address to the Crown, praying
that the correspondence on the subject between the
Ministry and the heads of Oxford University should
be laid on the table.

UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD.
Mr. BLAcxErr having inquired on Wednesday
whether the proposed scheme for a new constitution
for the University of Oxford, as proposed by the
authorities of that institution, had been submitted
to the Government, and what was the Ministerial
decision respecting it?
Lord JOHN RUSSEII. replied :
" I think the hebdomadal board at Oxford deserve credit
for the pains they have taken to explain the scheme for
the improvement of the constitution of the University of
Oxford ; but with regard to the plan itself I have to say
that the Government, having taken the proposed con-
stitution into consideration, have thought it their duty, and
the Secretary of State for the Home Department has signi-
fied the same to the authorities of the university, that her
Majesty would not be advised to assent to the prayer of
the petition to be proposed to Convocation on Friday
next."

RAILWAYS.
The increase in the railway traffic of this week
is most remarkable and satisfactory, and incon-
testably proves that their resources are far from being
developed.
There is evidently a returning confidence on the
part of the public in railways, as an investment.
Great Northern Stock is particularly buoyant, and
the increase in the traffic this week has been so
remarkable that it has become a question whether
the profits arising from the coal traffic are not in
part included in the returns. It would be well for
the company to set this question at rest.
The non-settlement of the dispute between the
North-Western and Great Western Railways acts
detrimentally on the value of both these stocks. If
the capital account of each line were closed there
would be very little difficulty in bringing about an
arrangement.
The Railway Market has been remarkably firm
during the week. Stock is still scarce and the
public continue to invest.

THE RUSSIAN FADERS gravely relate a miraculous ap-
pearance of the Blessed Virgin during one of the recent
conflicts on the Asiatic frontier of Turkey and Russia. She
is said to have been seen by the combatants on both sides
in the attitude of blessing the Russian soldiers The con-
sequence was that they were inspired with supernatural
and irresistible valour, and that a number of the infidel
Moslems were converted to " the orthodox faith."
AN EXTENSIVE. EMIGRATION OF MORMONITES has taken
place from the southern districts of Wales during the past

namely, 14,101,1401., was coined ; and in the United States,
11,961,7021., making a total for those three countries of
88,725,5311.
IT is stated by the Durham Advertiser that the incumbent

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

- - -
Sir Hamilton Seymour had not, at the (late of the
last advises, yet communicated his recal to the
Russian Government.
The Emperor Nicholas has been suffering from
illness, which is variously ascribed to gout, erysipelas,
and billious fever.
Prince Paskiewitsch has been summoned from
Warsaw to St. Petersburg.
An imperial ukase was issued on the 14th, order-
ing a new levy of nine men out of every I,(X$). The
different fleets and armies will be ready to open the
campaign by the 15th of April.
The utmost activity prevailed in every department
of the Government, and preparations for war are
made on the most extensive scale.
In Finland 100 gun-boats are to be got ready, and
00,000 Russian troops are to occupy the coasts of
the Gulf of Bothnia, the Finish regiments being
sent to other quarters. The visit of the Grand
Duke Constantine to Helsingfors nag be, n post
poned.
From Poland it is again stated that the troops in
the Russian fortresses in that kingdom have been
marched to th.t seat of war, and their place supplied
by Cossacks.
All the Turkish consuls in Russia are about to
give in their resignation. Turkish subjects are
placed under the protection of Austrian agents, but
only for six months, dating from the declaration of
war by the Porte. Foreigners are leaving St. Peters•
burg and Moscow in numbers.
According to commercial letters from St. Peters-
burg, of the Ulth inst., the prices of imported goods
continued to &chance, in anticipation of a blockade,
and the rate of exchange had declined to :17;d.—a
point at which shipments of gold to England would
prove profitable. It was doubtful, however, if any
would be made, since, although no prohiLition had
been issued, the merchants would hesitate to incur
displeasure by such a step, and the first exportation
that might be attempted would probably be the
signal for restriction. In the event of a continued
decline, considerable sums would notwithstanding be
smuggled out of the country.
Respecting the war in the Caucasus, there has
appeared a report from Gen. Wrangel, containing
the aeconnt of an expedition against the Tschetcben,
at the Pass of Chancel. The mountaineers are said
to have made a stubborn resistance, to have broken
through the Russian line, and taken several prisoners,
besides the waggons and oxen, but were at. length
defeated with the less of 300 men and 100 horses.
The Russian loos was trifling.
A telegraphic despatch from Bnyharest, dated
10th February, states that between the night of the
oth and 10th February a battery of twelve guns was
established by Gen. Schilder on the island of Ruma-
dan, opposite the Turkish flotilla, stationed under
the guns of Rutschuk. At daybreak on the 10th
the battery opened its fire. The Turks were taken
by surprise. One of their steamers was considerably
damaged, and six large vessels were rendered quite

Lions would meet every case, whilst it is manifestly impos-
sible that chaplains can be appointed for every one of the
separate religious bodies within the kingdom.'

THE PEACE DEPUTATION AT
ST. PETERSBURG.
LETTERS from two members of this deputation have
been received in England, giving an account of their
interview with the Czar :

" Mr. Pease states that the deputation was admitted to
an audience of the Emperor, which lasted nearly half an
hour. The Emperor received them most graciously, and
expressed himself much pleased kith the object of their
visit, and the motives which induced them to make so
long a journey. The Emperor afforded them every op-
portunity to express their views, and stated to them at
great length what he thought of the present state of
affairs. He said that they should not leave without being
introduced to the Empress, and on the Empress entering
the room the Emperor explained the object of their
journey. On taking their leave the Emperor shook them
heartily by the hand ; and on quitting the palace they
were much struck by the cordial reception given to three
plain, humble, and simple men of peace.
" Mr. Joseph Sturge states that the Czar received him-
self and colleagues in the most courteous manner, and
listened with the greatest attention to the addre"s which
they were deputed to present to him from the pacific
bodies which they represented. They were induced to
hope from the tone and manner of the Emperor that he
was not insensible to the appeal, although the deputation
were not equally confident that it would not have the
effect of staying the warlike preparations which were
going on all around diem At the conclusion of what
may be termed the official audience, the Autocrat intro-
duced the deputation to the Empress, by whom they were
most graciously received. Although it was the wish of
the Friends' to be as quiet as possible during their stay in
St. Petersburg, it appeared that their presence in the
capital of Russia created no inconsiderable degree of
interest among the inhabitants, and when they were
observed in the streets they were not unfrequently fol-
lowed by crowds of persons who seemed to take a favour-
able interest in the object of their mission.
" Mr. Sturge had intended to be in Birmingham on
Monday next, but at the request of the Emperor the depu-
tation determined to remain in St. Petersburg a day or
two longer than was originally purposed."

AUSTRIA.

By the latest accounts from Vienna it appears that
the Austrian Goventment shows a stronger resolu-
tion to take an active part in the present crisis, espe-
cially since the failure of the last overtures for peace
made by the Courts of Vienna and Paris to that of
St- Petersburg.
The Emperor of Austria has intimated his deter-
mination not to assent to the arrangements for the
neutrality of Germany projected by the Saxon
and Bavarian Governments at the instigation of
Russia.
25,000 more men are to be sent immediately to
the south-eastern frontier. To calm the ft ars of the
public, it is, however, officially announced that his
Majesty is still doing all in his power to maintain
peace.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

It is impossible to acknowledge the mass of letters we receive.
Their insertion is often delayed, owing to a press of matter
and when omitted, it is frequently from reasons quite inde-
pendent of the merits of the communication.
We cannot undertake to return communications of which we do
not avail ourselves.
Ccmmunications should always be legibly written, and on one
side of the paper only. If long it increases the difficulty of
finding space for them.
Whatever is intended for insertion must be authonticatetlby the
name and address of the writer, not necessarily for publica-
tion, but as a guarantee of his good faith.

Tga EASTERN QUESTION has done much good to
the evening papers in Paris. Since the course of
events became interesting, the sale of the Patrice and
Preset, has nearly doubled. The latter sold on Mon-
day evening 12,000 copies beyond its usual number.

THE MEMBERS OF THE PRINTERS' DRAMATIC SO
CIETY gave their first musical and dramatic soiree for
the season on Saturday evening last at Anderton's
Hotel, Fleet-street. A large and respectable attend-
ance was the result, and the entertainments, executed
chiefly by members of the society, gave evident satis-
faction. Several pieces of concerted music were per-
formed, interspersed with readings from Shakspeare,
Bulwer, Knowles, Hood, &c.
AT the evening meeting of the Royal Geographical
Society, on Monday next, the 27th inst., the following
papers will be read :—" Successful exploration of the
River Murray by Captain Cadell and Governor Sir
Henry Young, in the Lady Augusta steamer." Com-
municated through the Colonial-office. " Observa•
tions on the proposed North Australian Expedition,
under Captain Stokes, R.N." By Captain Sturt.
F IT is rumoured that Signor Lablache has at last
joined the company at the Royal Italian Opera, and
that the season there will possibly be opened by
Madame Alboni.

TO THE EDITOR OF " THE PRESS."

You talk of five hundred to dear Mr. Greville,
For airing the Times and for signing his name ;
Let me say, in reply to your strictures uncivil,
You cannot compute half the strength of his claim.

What! Strain at five hundred for service so varied
As all his friends tell you he renders each (lay !
The news improvised and the hints that are carried,
Their value what mortal but placemen can say ?

Like Iris—that back stairs attendant of Jove—
All hues and all colours our messenger takes :
One day he puts Austria all cavil above,
The neat, for her faith, all our terror awakes.

But mark as we wait for each coming event !
As placemen and circumstance take a new whim,
Though Iris was still by the Thunderer sent,
Now the soi-ditant " thundercr " looks out for him.

And if all this service is cheerfully done,
Sans scruple or nonsense, it seems very queer
That you should deny Mr. Grevillo has won
The right to his job of five hundred a year.

NOTES

THE P

A REMONSTRANCE.

- - -
answer to your unjustifiable lines last week on the proposal for adding
a paltry five hundred pounds to Mr. GRETILLE'S yearly pittance of two thousand,
I beg you will insert the following remonstrance from
ONE OF HIS FRIENDS.

Archimedes, when naked and joyous he sped,
Through Syracuse streets with the crown in his hand ;
Or Newton, when apples came bump on his head,
The value of Greville could scarce understand.

You'll admit that the Sophi themselves would be driven
To the end of their wits " compensation " to find,
For toils whose amount in the " sum " is not given,
Small, the curtain before ;—But herculean behind.

SATURDAY,

Idedjidie order to the otilcers, in gratitude for the
noble stand they have made against such odds.
THE ARMIES.
The Duke of Cambridge, with the first division of
7,000 men, left Constantinople for Varna on the 13th
ibst. Ford Raglan, with the entire staff, followed on
the Isth. Prince Napoleon's division had arrived at
that date in Constantinople at Daciud Paella. Mar-
shal St. Arnaud had arrived from Varna, where
another council of war was held, but &parted thither
again on the 12th to meet the admirals. The num-
ber of English troops that had reached Varna on the
10th was about 9,000, including artillery. The
greatest part, if not.the whole, of this force was
pushed on to Divna, towardp, Sebumla, under Sir GBrown. Twenty. thousand French have also reached
Yarns. The arrival is reporWd of one division of the
French force at Demotice, four leagues from
Adrianople.
The 42nd Highlanders and the Himalaya, with
the sth Dragoons, reached Constantinople on

the 10th. -
The Sultan has presented the Duke of Cambridge
with two magnificent orders, set in brilliants.
THE FLEETS.
In the Black Sea there has been no shot fired
lately, but the admirals continue cruising off Sebas-
topol, the Crimea, and Batoum. The naval rendez-
vous is at Baltschik. Swo ships and some frigates
keep off Varna ready to co-operate in any service.
Ships from the Baltic fleet continue to accomplish
various enterprises upon the enemy's coasts with
general success. One disaster is recorded. The
Odin and Vuttii4 landed 150 men at Gumla Karlehy,
in West Finland. These were attacked by sharp-
shooters in ambuscade, and by a masked battery of
live guns.
Lieutenant Barrington (or Carrington, as another
account states), a midshipman, a mate, and three
men fell; two officers and fourteen men were wounded.
One boat was lost. Twenty-eight men and one mate
were taken by the Russians, whose commander was
The ,Leopard and Valorous have destroyed the
Crown-wharf and small vessels at Keith, in the Gulf
of Bothnia.
Admiral Plpmridge is stated to have landed 1,500
men at Ulehborg, and taken possession of the me-
tallic reserve of the Bank of Finland, the directors of
ad taken to flight.
