CAMP ANECDOTES AND SCRAPS.

CAMP BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, APRIL 9.
In the French camp the most fabulous reports
about General Canrobert are in circulation. It
affirmed that before leaving Paris he consulted g
pupil of the celebrated soothsayer, Mdlle. Lenormand,
who set his horoscope, and prophesied that he would
attain the supreme command of the army, but that.
like Nelson—he would fall in the moment of victory.
This is said to be the reason of hie delaying, es lon,
as possible, the decisive moment of the storming a
Sebastopol. In consequence of the general's hating
called the trenches "the graves of the garrison a
Sebastopol," in one of his despatches, he has acquired
the nickname of the " gravedigger" (fussoyeur);
whilst they (the French soldiers) call Lord Begin,
in consequence of the great attention he pays to the
state of the atmosphere, with more aptitude thaa
respect, ranemoscope' or the meteorologist.
The nocturnal combats that now take place shame
every night have not yet lost any of their murderous
characteristics. Whichever party commences these
bloody feuds, whether French or Russians, they
always end in a hand-toland combat of life and
death. Prisoner, are never made, nor do they ask
for or give any quarter. The " Greek banditti," es
the French term the Albanians, who ate formed
into a corps of irregulars, under the commaed
of some Greek nobles settled in the Crimes,
have adopted the Albanian costume, and the corps is
further reinforced by the Greeks of the former Cri.
mean militia, and are used by the Russians for the
same duty as that of the Zouaves and the baahi.
bazooka, namely, to be in the most advanced eed
dangerous positions, without obtaining much glory.
The Russians have learned the necessity of econo•
miming the lives of their regular troops, and these ir-
regulars are therefore placed in the van of the info.
try about the Malakhoff position, performing the duty
of tirailleurs. They evince a supreme disregard of
life, and generally throw away their muskets after
the first discharge or two, and then, drawing their
yatagbans, rush in and close with their antagonist'.
It is generally asserted that before these combats
they are regularly primed with opium, which would
account for their frantic yells and msniac deport-
men t. It is further stated that they are instigated
to seek certain death by their priests, who um
them that the souls of all those who volunteer imam.
diately assume a fresh human appearance, and that
they are born again as counts and princes.

PIEDMONT.

Further telegraphic despatches from Turin confirm
the fact of Count Cavour's resignation, and connect it,
as was feared would be the case, with the opposition
to the Convents Bill. A despatch of the 26th inst.
says:
The Senate, at its sitting of to-day, adjourned the discus-
sion on the bill relative to the connects, in consequence of
a proposition for paying a sum of 900,000 fr. a year to the
elergy, the 1 allowance to whom will no longer figure
in the budget.
The next despatch, dated the 27th, makes it pro-
bable that the proposition was likely to be carried.
It reads :

lefty • sessible and shrewd tr.an Op to the lilt on
all subjects, except as to his wife's fidelity. Though a tall
and powerful woman, there is nu r. aeon to believe that she
offered say resistance in his a•tsek upon her on Friday
morning; bat it is more probable that she hid conk upon
her knee to ask mercy. The cuts on her arms (before tin y
were broken or cut in ,wo by repeated blows) are in a
direction wlich lead to the surposition that she had raised
them only as a protection to her head. Her countenance in
death bore a sweet sod composed expression, not at all
indicative of passion. It is eery doubtful if he had preme-
ditated the murder at all. Th wea 402 bad been i• the
house some years, end the :idol was frequeetly discharged.

dition to pointing out, however, to the appreatice the
wood of which " his cone " were to be made,
he bad named to him thugs of his aephews whom he wished
to be the bearers of his body to toe grave, as if be bad en-
tertained some general idea that he would not live long. Both
he and his unfortunate wife were class leaders, end teachers
in the Wesleyan Methodist Sunday-school. She had at-
tended chapel up to last Sunday, but he is said to have
kept away fur one or two of the hum Sundsys.
As may naturally be suppoeed the shocking occurrence.*
►bove narrated have led to much excitement in a quiet &gel-
cultural neighbourhood like that of Sand bach and Wheelock,
but the position of the relatives in life is one that enables
them effectually to shut out anything like vulgar intrusion
and curiosity on the part of strapper* Many of the neigh-
bours of courts got admiesbn to the house when the murder
first became known, and no doubt truly enough describe
the room where Mrs. Sproston was found as a "chamber of
horrors."

THE EVACUATION BY THE'

RUSSIANS OF SOUJAK KALI.

WAR DEPARTMENT, Jinn 5, 10.30 A.x.

Lord Panmure presents his compliments to the
Editor of the Daily News, and has great pleasure
n transmitting the enclosed intelligence which has
this day reached him from Lord Raglan :

.Itrxi 3.

" News from Kertch of the 2nd instant.
" Everything is going on satisfactorily.
" Captain Moore had arrived from Circusia, with
the intelligence that Soujak Kali was evacuated on
the 28th May. The Russians had bout the prin-
cipal buildings, and abandoned sixty guns and six
mortars, having first rendered them unserviceable."

The Moniteur of this day (we learn by telegraph)
announces that the Minister of War has received the
following despatch from General Polisher :
"CRIMEA, Jura 2, 10 P.M.

" Advices received from Kutch, dated the 31st of
May, announce that, on the refusal of the military
authorities of Genitchi, situate on the northern extre-
mity of the tongue of land of Arabat, to give up the
government stores and 90 wools laden with provi-
sions for the Russian army in the Crimea, the squad-
ron, under the orders of Captain Lyons, bombarded
the place, drove out the troops, and destroyed all the
stores.
" The enemy has thus lost, in four day., an im-
mense quantity of provisions, four war steamers, and
240 vessels employed exclusively in provisioning the
troops in the Crimea."

Mr. MONSELL was as emulous as hen. gentlemen Oppo-
site that the measure should rectum) a fell dismission. At
the same time charges, having been already made by the
cancellation of the letters patent under which the old Ord-
nance Board was constituted, and the functions of that body
being transferred to one of her Majesty's Secretaries of
State, it was very desirable that this bill should pass as
speedily as possible. He bad therefore asked his noble
friend at the head of the government to give him a day upon
which the measure could be discussed, and he (Lord Pal-
menton) had promised to do to. He trusted, therefore,
that the house would now read the bill a mead time, and
take the discussion upon going into committee. (Cries of
No")
Mr. iIACARTNEY objected to the second reading of a

BONN, -Nov. 10.
The Pops's Latin harangue to the Sacred Col-
lege in the secret oonsistory held on the 3rd inst.
was published in the official paper of the 7th. In the
very cutest, the joy felt by his Holiness at having
concluded so advantageous a conoordat with the
Austrian government is manifested in most sonorous
phrases, and the piety and docility of his Apostolic
Majesty are lauded in equallfmagniloqueat Latinity.
The Pops recites with exultation the principal claws
of the treaty, establishing the free enjoyment by. the
Catholic church throughout the Austrian dominions
" of all the rights and prerogatives to which it is en-
titled by the ordination of God and the sanction of
the canon laws"—the undeniable supremacy of the
Pope himself—the free comontnioation of the Aus-
trian clergy with the Holy Bea and the rights of
bishops to import and direct, unshackled by
the civil government, public and private in-
struction and morals, to censure new publics-
tioos, and in fact, under one pretext or other,
to become absolute masters in their respective dio:
mess. The anon law sod ecclesiastical tribunals are
restored to full efficacy, and the Coonril of Trent is
quoted at every paragraph. The Pops's right to
erect new dioceses, to vary the Halted existing ones,
to nominate bishops and other shank dignitaries, is
especially dwelt upon, and all minor clauses indicate
the same spirit of excessive 0000914011/ to the Holy

For several days past our communication
Warsaw and the other railroad stations on the sum
line has been interrupted by the immense transport'
of sulphur sent from Austria by way of Cracow to
Warsaw, which accumulate every day to suck al
extant that the railway station at Orauitza finds it
impossible to forward thus as quickly as they aerirt
Ever since this Prussian frontier station has refuel
to forward contraband of war to Russia and Poised,
arriving from Vienna by the Oreat Northern Rol
way, through Oderberg, Nitibor, and Cone, and pm
ing through the narrow strip of Prussian territory,
the transports are conveyed only to Leipoiek by 6t a
railroad, and thence forwarded to Cracow on wan*
by the old carriage road, whence they are again its
warded by the railroad through Czakowa to Grath;
which causes a complete temporary interruption to
our regular trams.
Within the lest month considerably more then
100,000 cwt. of sulphur have been forwarded Is this
manner from Austria to Russian Poland, and my
day about 600 cwt. of this article continue to Gran,
packed partly in chests and partly is oaks.

hardships as in this owe. (Hear, bear.) There were offioer
of great experience attached to the army, and young officer,
were springing up from day to day, and each battis
made them more familiar with their duties. He had ob-
served that some of the newspapers called the officers
" old superannuated fellows, " and others said
they were "ignorant young fellows." It was very
difficult to suit the tastes of every one —(a
laugh)—but he thought that, after • little time,
and after some improvements bad been made in
the systom—particularly the system of purchase-.-
against which he had always contended—they would have
• very good body of Olken ; but it was indislensable that
those improvements should take place. (Hear, hear.) In
the meantime, however unsatisfactory the way in which
advancement in the army had been hitherto dispensed, he
must say he had known officers belonging t, the members
of the aristocracy who were as brave and as devoted as any
men who ever encountered an enemy in the field. He bad
some of them under his own orders, and he had never seen
more bold and dashing fellows in his life. (Hear, hear.)
As a general rule, however, it was experience, instruction,
and devotion to the army that should prevail ; and he
hoped that as the public voice was now being
pronounced 'somewhat loudly on that subject, im-
provement would take place, and he believed they were
ea the eve of better times for the army. (Cheers.)
He had lelt it h s duty to add these few general reumake,
With respect to the great diatreu which was represented to
exist in the army, he could only say that whea he left the
Crimea it bad not extended to the extreme degree in which
it was now said to prevail. But still he was afraid there
must be much truth in those statements, seeing that they
were so unanimous ; but he trusted they might hope for
better things from dray to day. The general concluded by
remarking that be thought the present ministerial crisis was
much to be regretted, inasmuch as it might tend to inter-
fere with the public business at a most urgent and critical
moment. The hon. end gallant officer resumed his seat
amid the congratulations of the members of the deputation,
Sir JOHN SHELLEY, M.P., said as General Evans had
referred to the ministerial crisis, he could not help observ-
ing that it seemed to him that if ever there was a moment
when all sides of the house, and the leading men on both
sides, should drop trumpery personal considerations and
put their shoulders to the wheel to get the country through
the great struggle in which she was engaged, the present
was that moment. lie considered it was the duty of every
member of parliament to support the government, how-
ever it might be composed, oolong as that government was
determined to carry this war to a successful termination.
(Cheers.)
The deputation then retired.

IMPORTANT TO MARINERS IN THE AU&

TRALIAN TRADE.

LIVERPOOL, WoomisDAY.
The owners of the Arabian (Messrs. Pilkiogton
and Wilson) have received the logbook of that Tempel on her
repent voyage to Melbourne, from which we meke the
billowing important extract :—" Jaly 26. Wind N.N.B.
and N. Midnight, very thick weather. At 4 a en. the fog
dispersed foe • few minutes, and we discovered the lead
(one If Croset's Islands) right ahead. Hove the helm up
and wore clear. Stood out to the westward two hour., and,
the weather clearing • little, wore and kept by the wind,
expecting to reach out to the northward. At 8 a.m. the
weather again became very thick, and at the same moment
we discovered the land, surrouded by very high breakers,
extending oat on the weather bow, and no extremity to
leeward, owing to the excessive thickness of the timber.
By the promptitude with which the ship obeyed her
helm, and the assistance rendered by the passengers, under
the blessing of Almighty God, the ship was saved from
utter destruction, and the lives of all on board preserved.
By Borsharch's chart and book of directions we were
about 180 miles past the island, and by a chart albs chief
mate, used on the last towage out, we were abreast of
them at noon yesterday. Consequently at the moment we
sew them this morning they must be oat by that chart 182
miles. My new chart, however, with additions up to 1861,
places the group in about lat. 60.40 8., and los. 48.20 8.
KT opinion, however, is that the, are all wrong together,
although I had no chance of proving my opinion, owing to
the extreme thickset* of the weather. I have, however,
taken the precaution to circumscribe the group with
• circle, and mark them very doubtful and dangerous.
I take this opportunity of expressing my thanks to my
first oiliest, Mr. John White, for the promptitude and deci-
sion he displayed whet the land was first observed at
4 a.m.—N. BARNATTNS, Captain, Arabian (sines dead)."

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Frs. 3
There has been a tremendous fall of snow since
last evening, the ground being covered to a depth
rarely equalled in this part of the empire, and cer-
tainly not witnessed here for some years past. What
with the snow and the ministerial crisis, there is a
complete stagnation of business.
A remarkable cue, which has occupied the Irish
Court of Chancery every day for the last fortnight,
and in which nearly all the leading counsel of the
Irish bar have made long speeches, is, it is thought,
about to he settled by a compromise, the Lord Chan-
cellor having postponed giving judgmeot until
Tuesday next, for the purpose of giving the parties an
opportunity of arranging. I allude to the case of
•"Handcock against Delacour or Deburgo," in which,
i ndependent of the large property that is at stake, the
character of an Irish nobleman, who has filled a most
prominent place in the political world, is involved.
Counsel for the petitioner have indulged, with
extreme latitude, in the most serious charges against
the nobleman in question, who, it has been broadly
stated, is the father of the respondent, a minor, while
the respondent's mother is alleged to have been a
Mrs. Handcock, who was separated from her hus-
band, the petitioner in the cause being a brother of
that husband. On the part of the respondent,
nothing was stated as to his parentage, but he claimed
under a deed by which the property was secured to
him, Mr. and Mrs. Handcock, with their three
daughters, being all dead, and the latter having, it is
alleged, suffered greatly through their mother's
neglect for some time previous to their death. The
lovers of scandal will, of course, be greatly disap-
pointed by any arrangement which would render the
judgment of the court unnecessary.
The Nation informs us that some new complica-
tions have arisen between Bishop Waste of Ossory
and his priests. It appears that the complaint against
the bishop for bridling the political enthusiasm of
his clergy having been brought to Rome by Mr.
Lucas and those associated with him, the ecclesias-
tical advocate to whom the proceedings there were
entrusted lately required the immediate presence at
Rome of Father Keeffe, the priest whom the bishop
prohibited from attending the Callan tenant right
meeting. Father Keeffe waited on the bishop to
obtain the necessary leave of absence, which the
bishop, we are told by the Nation, peremptorily re-
fused. Father Keeffe produced the letter requiring
his attendance, but his superior, after inspecting the
document, said it was not an fficial summons, and,
until one in the proper form were produced, he
would not allow him to depart out of the diocese.l
This, obeffres the Nation, amounts to an absolute
Prohibition on the part of Dr. Walshe to have the
appeal carried to Reme, as a formal summons would
be issued to the respondent, but not to the appellant,
which Father Keeffe is; and thus the affair is brought
to a " dead lock."

Few transactions have taken place to-day in the
home mining stock market, which continues in much
the same state as reported yesterday. The feeling
of the market is generally firm as regards the favou-
rite divider d stocks.
The gold mining and other @bares remain dull.
The prospectus is issued of the East Dean Coal and
Iron Mining Company, with a capital of 75,0001. in
11. shares, on which the deposit is to be 10s. The
coal field proposed to be worked is situate in the
Forest of Dean, 134 miles from London, and in rail-
way communication with the South Wales, Great
Western, Midland, and South Western lines and is
estimated to contain a superficial area of 650 acres.
Some progress is stated to have been already made in
the works on the spot. For this mine and the Dry.
brook Iron Miae which is stated to be 720 acres in
extent, the vendors are to receive 8,0001. in paid up
shares and 52,0001. in cash instalments, ranging over
ten years. It is proposed that the undertaking shall
have the character of a "householder's coal com-
pany," and that each shareholder shall be entitled to
have delivered to him every year one ton of coal for
every share, at 18s. per ton.

SPAIN.

Marshal Espartero, in accord with the council of
ministers, has addressed a circular to the governors
of provinces, to impress on them the necessity of
maintaining order, of observing regularity in the
collection of the taxes, and of enforcing due observ-
ance of the laws :

He says,—The state of alarm and uneasiness which, under
various pretexts, is excited in Dome towns of the Peninsula
by the enemies of true liberty, and at a moment when the
Constituent C rtes see unceasingly occupied in making •
liberal—nay• very liberal oonstitution, which, in securing
and determiking the rights of Spaniards, will clearly specify
their obligatLns, has seriously attracted the attention of
the government of her Majesty, over which I have the
honour to preside, and has given rise to a suspicion that
the enemies of our political regeneration, powerless to
oppose our principles openly, are making use of malevolent
means, in order to disturb the tranquillity of which we
stand so much in need for the establishment of the funds-
mental law of the state. One of the means of the govern-
men', without which it cannot provide for the wants of the
state, is the regular collection of the public taxes. Their,
collection bu suffered delays which tend to revolution. This 1
evil must be remedied.

MR. ROEBUCK'S COMMITTEE.

asilesler..t of the war cannot bear inquiry. The fleet I
duty., thsrefore, of Parliament and the country clearly
is to take ears that none of the Ministers directly

Trim is some danger that Parliament and the
public may have their thoughts turned from the
practical question, submitted for their solution by
the sauces of Mr. ROEBUCK% motion, s 4 the conse-
quent resignation of Ministers. For the last week
Re have been absolutely inundated by a spring-tide
of personal scandal and gossip the aim, or at least
the effect of which is, to divert attention from the
question really at issue, by profitless espersions and
recriminations. The apologists of the late PREMIER
and his War Ministers have adopted the tactics of
the solicitor who, satisfied that his client was inde-
fensible, threw a note acmes the table to his counsel
—"There is no cue : abuse the plaintiff's attorney."
No attempt is made to exculpate Lord ABERDEEN,
or the Duke of NEWCASTLE, or Mr. SIDNEY HER-
BERT; but Lord JOHN RUSSELL is " abused" through
every note of the Billingsgate gamut.

It is admitted on all hands that our military opera-
tions in the Crimea have been scandalously
mismanaged. With a view to ascertain the cause of
this, Mr. ROZBUCK moved, in the House of Commons,
for a select committee to inquire into the conduct
of the war. Ministers (with one exception) de-
clared that they would resist the motion, on the
ground that, if carried, it would be equivalent to
a vote of want of confidence in them. The motion
was carried by a majority of 303 to 148 ; and that in
spite of the most active " whip" that has been known
for many years. The remarkable feature of the vote
is not the largeness of the majority, but the
smallness of the minority. The decision of the House
of Commons is exactly to accmdance with the opinion
of the public at large, as is dolorously confessed by the
worthy pluralist who holds eummendani the offices
of member for Westbury, Linder Secretary of the
Treasury, and editor of the ..Tcorionsist. In last
Saturday's number of his journal w e are told, " the
vote of Monday night was disrepeable, because it
was given in mere deference to public clamour —a
most edifying declaration on the part of a' gentleman
who once professed to be " a Whig and something
more." Immediately after this vote pathed the House
of Commons, Ministers, in a body, tenders d their
resignations to her Majesty.
