POLAND.-THE lONIAN ISLANDS.

On the order of the day for the committee of supply,
Mr. HENNESSY repeated his question of the previona
evening, as to whether Austria had, pending the Crimean
war, ar subsequently at the Congress of Paris, made any
proposals for joint action in the emancipation of Poland.
After some remark, from Mr. Groyne and Mr. Pia-
ci:um;
Mr. B.OIIBUCH wished to know whether any despatches
bad been received from Austria respecting the lonian
Islands, sod if so whether they could be laid on the
table.

Lord PALMERSTON said that as regarded Poland, no
Mahad been made by Austria to England and Femme
Pollths Crimean war for establishing the kingdom of
, but, on the contrary, to such an arrangemmit
Austria would strenuously have objected. All that
occurred at the Congress of Paris on the 'abject of
Poland wen to be found in papers which bad been laid Mims
the house. As to the lonian Islands, they had not been
roads • possession of Great Britain by the treaty of Vienna,
but they were re-established u an independent »public,
and were placed under the protection of England. There
was no doubt that the crown, by Its own authority,
and without the consent of parliament, could enter into •
lusty for their alienation. No step for that purpose bad
yet been taken, and he agreed with Mr. Pesoocke, that a
condition that they should be annexed to Greece was in-
dispensable, and that Greece should undertake not to sur-
render them to any other state.

SUPPLY.
The house then went into committee of supply, sad the
usual resolution, "That supply be granted to Mafeelly,”
was pained.
The bills for the introduction of which lee,. bad been
obtained earlier in the evening were brought in and read •
iron time.
The house adjourned at • quarter to 6 o'clock.

WRECKS ON THE W JIM dOANT. —H HER DOT EY
FEE. B.—l have to report (says Mr. David Williams. offoe;
of Customs at Aberdovey), that about 2 o'clock p.m. yester-
day, and within two hours of low water, blowing a gale
from W.N.W. with a heavy sea which was exceedingly
high on the bar, a small brig, called the Friend of New-
port, from Cork. was seen making for the harbour. She
was afterwards observed to strike, and the sea to make a
complete breach over her. The lifeboat of the National
Lifeboat Institution was instantly ordered out. 1 jumped
into the boat myself, and was immediately followed
by a volunteer crew. Alter a very hard pull we pushed
through the breakers, and dropped down to the wreck
before the sea. When within hailing distance we
asked the crew of the vessel if they wished to avail them-
selves of the lifeboat, telling them at the same time that If
the gale continued their ship most go to pieces. The vessel's
signal of distress was still flying; but Gliding the crew
would not abandon her, we remained by the vessel about as
hour. During this period we suffered dreadfully. The

would not leave the wreck we returned with three oars oaly

Moat providentially the gale afterwards oousiderably
abated, and the wreck drifting into a more sheltered posi-

wished to see him at the Gan Tavern, Lupus-street, but he
took no notice of the request. In about half
an hour afterwards there was a violent ring
at the bell, and on the door being opened by
the landlord the defendant forced his way in and ap-stirs,
and made use of the threats which formed the subject of
the charge. The complainant was subjected to a very lung
cross-examination, in the course of which it was elicited
that he had eloped with the married sister of the defendant,
while residing with her husband, and that she wee now tin-
der complainant's protection.

THZ HARTLEY COLLIERY FOND.—After a long
interval of [Bence, the Hartley Relief Committee met in
Newcastle on Wednesday. A detailed report of the state of
the finances was submitted by the executive committee.
From this statement it appears that there has been sub-
scribed towards the relief of the sufferers by the memo-
rable calamity 21,53 et., the interest up to the present
time on which constitutes a grand total of 83,234/.
The balance, after the payment of the expenses in-
curred, amounts to 75,442!., of which 70,0004 has
been invested in railway and other debentures, while the
remaining 5,442!. remains at teak interest in Newcastle.
The executive recommend the adoption of Mr. Birkmyre,
the actuary's report, but to the 50,4291.—the sum estimated
by that gentleman u necessary to meet the requirement.
of the socident—they propose to add 4,571 i. for educa-
tional, medical, and other purposes, thus reducing
the surplus to 20,440!. Of this they intend to
dispose by division among the coal mining districts
of the country, of which there are twelve, the sum.
ber of misers in each district being taken as the basis of cal-
culation. For information on this and other points appli-
cation will be made to the various mining inspectors, and to
any subscriber directing from the scheme, one-fourth of
his or her donation will be returned. Several minor matters
relating to the administration of the fond were disposed of ;
but Go important was deemed the question of the surplus,
that its consideration was postponed till the 25th of March.

EQUITY COURT.—FEB. 26.
(Before the Master of the Bolls.)

In this case, which concerns the forgeries or alleged for
of W. P. Roupell, the re-amended bill prayed that
taiLgtintiewolht be at. liberty to examine Alfred
Copthall-court, City, and other
witneeses, who could prove any matters tending to
show or establish the due execution by R. P.
Roupell and his wife of an indenture of Sept. 26, 1653,
and the right and title of the plaintiffs thereunder, and
that such testimony might be recorded by the court in
order to the perpetuation thereof. The defendants put in a
plea to this bill to the effect that the subject matter in
respect of which the testimony was sought to be obtained
and perpetuated was already the subject of litigation. The
question, in fact, is purely one of pleading, and one so rare
in these days that his Honour said he would reserve his
judgment upon it.
Mr. Selwyn and Mr. C. Swanston were for the plea; and
Mr. Hobhouse and Mr. Cotton for the bill.

A QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE.
Sir F. SMITH called attention to a question of privilege,
and reed a letter from Mr. Reed. the chief constructor of
the navy, which be bad received from him, complainiqg in
strong terms of his speech the other night, in which he had
censured his appointment over the heads of Mr. Lang and
other master builders in the dockyards. Mr. Reed termed
his speech false and libellous. and attributed it to hie desire
to benefit Mr. Lang, a constituent. Mr. Lang never was •
constituent of his, and in the remarks which he bad made
be was simply doing his duty se • member of that house.
He had intended to move that Mr. Reed be called to the
bar, but be understood that Mr. Reed would make an
apologq. (Loud cries of " Move.") In obedience to the
wish of the house, he would move that Mr. Reed be called
to the bar.

—Tiie letter having been read by the clerk at the table,
Sir G. GREY said it was first necessary to declare the
letter a breach of privilege.
Sir F. SMITH made a motion to that effect.

THE BURMESE PRIZE MONEY.

In reply to a question frcm Colonel Nonni,
Sir C. WOOD said there had been some mistake with re-
gard to the distribution of the Burmese prise mosey, the
causes of which he could not quite ascertain. The warrant
authorising the distribution was seat out in Ortolan, 1860.
In 1861 there was an announcement made in India that DO
►ppliation would be received after the end of that year, and
in conformity with that order a similar notification was
published in this country. The government had every ma-
ma to suppose then that the distnbution would take place at
once, but they discovered accidentally in &pumas,' last, in
reference to the Delhi prize money, that the distribution of
the Pegu prize money was delayed in consequence of their
not having received the prize roll. Steps were immediately
taken in connexion with the Admiralty to furnish a roll of
the men entitled to share in the distribution—that was to
say, of the men who had received medals ; that was sent
out in the course of the autumn, and he hoped there would
be no further delay.

TURKEY.

The Levant Herald of the 18th says
"The ministerial changes are regarded by the
local public as of the happiest augury. The trans-
ference of Fuad Pacha to the Seraskierat is accepted
by everybody as inlHrn+ing the re-establishment of
the old entente between the new minister and the
Sultan, and as betokening his Majesty's acceptance
of the economical programme submitted by the
Seraskier before his late retirement from the grand
Vizierate. If this be so, the public may shortly ex-
pect to bear of economies at the palace, in the
army, and at the arsenal, which will go far to get
rid of the existing large deficit in the year's budget,
and to place all three of these great departments on
a footing somewhat commensurate with both the
wants and the financial resources of the country.
Safvet Pacha, the new President of the Council, is
a functionary of the highest personal character, and
his promotion must therefore be similarly regarded
as a healthy sign of the times. His successor at
the Ministry of Commerce, Edhem Pacha, is of the
same moral stamp, and his appointment has conse-
quently a like hopeful significance."

THE MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCE OF

WALEf3.

Yesterday again a deputation from the royal re-
ception committee of the corporation of Loodoo, composed
of the Lord Mayor and several of the magistrates and com-
ma councilman, bad an interview with the Lord Cham-
berlain to urge the abandonment of an order by the Home
Seoretary to the effect that on the entrance of the Prin-
cess Alexandra and the Prince of Wales into London
their royal highnesses shall be in the front and van of
the pageant, and that the Lord Mayor with the rest
of the corporation and other official personages who
may take part in the reception shall follow, and
not conduct them. Lord Sydney, and still more, Sir
George Grey are said to have been averse from changing the
proposed order. The deputation took their leave, and after-
wards reported the result to the royal reception committee,
sitting at Gandhi'', who were deeply disappointed. To a
man, the whole reception committee are said to have op-
posed the arrangement of Sir George Grey, and before
separating to have passed a resolution authorising the same
deputation to seek an interview with Lord Palmerston on
the subject.
Should this overture fail, they are prepared to gammon •
emend Court of Common Council on Saturday to room-
mead that the corporation refrain altogether from taking
part in the reception.
A correspondent has suggested that St. Paul's should be
illuminated "up to its topmost spires," and the cross which
surmounts the dome, after the fashion of St. Peter's.
"There is really no reason," says the Times, " why this
should not be done. ilr It'is true that gas-pipes and fittings
sufficient to bring out the architectural lines of such
building in flaming bars would require an immense outlay,
but why should we use gas at all? The most powerful il-
luminator known is the electric light, and • few voltaic bat-
teries, with an apparatus which occupies but • small space
and may be many moved about, would throw • meteoric
glare that might be visible throughout the vest area
over which the great dome can he seen at midday. Of
course no idea of this kind can be realised without
a little perseverance and ingenuity, bat the remotion

is whether there could possibly be a better opportunity for
trying the experiment, and whether there le any doubt that
it might be made to eneceed. Behests( that in all such
displays the efforts of the artist should be directed to a few
prominent and Gimbel objects, we rejoice to learn that the
Victoria Tower is to be illuminated, and we should be glad
I to hear that all the public buildings on the riverside, and
all the bridges between Loadonleridge and Westminster,
were to be encircled with rows of gas-lamps. There could
not be a finer or more coespicuous some for a grand illumi-
nation than the mighty highway of the Thames, and the
redaction from the stream blazing like the Milky Way
would add infinitely to its beauty. If London could be
polled, we should expect to find a clear majority in favour
of lighting up the river."
