CORN EXCHANGE—The arrivals of English wheat up to
our market this week have been very limited. On Monday the
show of samples was small, and most kinds moved off steadily,
at bs per quarter above the rates of that day se'nnight. There
was less activity in the demand on Wednesday; but no actual
change took place in the quotations. Foreign wheat has sold
to a fair extent, at 2s to 3s per quarter more money. Fine bar.
ley has changed hands freely, at a further improvement in value
of is per quarter. All other kinds bare realised very full cur-
rencies. Malt has moved off steadily, at an improvement in
value of fully Ss per quarter. The oat trade has continued tlrui,
at extreme quotations. Both beans and peas have sold at full
prices. We have had a good demand for flour, the value of
which has had an upward tendency—the top price of town-made
being 65s per 2801ba.

ANOTAIR DE/all from the absence of fences to ma-
chinery occurred last week, at Messrs. Jackson's Cud-
worth Bleach Works, Barnsley. A young woman named
Catherine O'Brien,employed as a drill cleaner,went too
near the machinery, her dress became entangled, and
she was drawn in among the shafting. Her shrieks
attracted the attention of the " beetler," who instantly
stopped the machinery. Every effort was then made
to extricate her quickly, but from her clothes
being wound round the shafting her release was a
work of some time, during which the poor girl lay in
dreadful agonies, bleeding profusely. A surgeon
was sent for, but he arrived only in time to see the girl
die. On examining the body, besides some frightful
fractures, the femoral artery was found torn below
the knee, and the deceased had bled to death.

THE NUMBER OF PAUPERS IN ENOLAND AND WALES,
by the late parliamentary return, is stated at 876,655,
on Ist Jan., 1856, of which 152,174 were able-bodied
adults of both sexes. The expense of relief for the
half-year is returned at 1,975,8321. The number of
paupers by this last return has increased by 26,202
over the number relieved in 1854-5.

AN ECCENTRIC CHARACTER, One William Sharp,
whose mode of life for nearly half a century, though
presenting no remarkable features, was yet re-
m trkably singular, died the other day at Keighly,
ne tr Doncaster. Forty nine years ago this man

d.ed, on Friday fortnight, he was never known to
get out of it. The cause of this peculiar con-
d ict is stated to have originated in a disappointment
i r love. Ho was engaged to be married. The
wedding-day was fixed, and the bridegroom, as full
health and hope as any man of only thirty years
of age, went to the church at the orthodox hour—and
waited, for no bride came near him. Her father
sternly refused his consent to the match ; and the
young man, after fruitless endeavours to soften this

THE PRESS.

circle of the former embraced a far wider field
than that of the latter; and that it was not in
reality till the Council of Trent that the ma-
jority, if indeed any, of the idolatrous doctrines
of Popery were declared to be essential to
salvation. We believe that between a moderate
Churchman in the days of the Plantagenets,
and a high Churchman in the days of
ELIZABETH, the difference was more formal
than real; and that if WILLIAM of Wykeham
could have risen from the dead in the latter
period he would have professed himself per-
fectly satisfied with the disposition of his
property.
Unhappily, at the present day the Estab-
lished Church no longer embraces the entire
population of the country; and the question
arises how to deal with property bequeathed
to the public at a time when it did so. Is the
national element or the religious element to
take precedence? But may we not say that
this question has been practically answered
already? Church property. was given to the
nation as distinctly as college property. It was
given, that is to say, to the Church of the nation;
and now that numerous sects dissent from the
Church, each of those sects has just as much
right to demand a share in the property of the
Church as to demand a share in that of the
University. Such aro the hard facts of
the case, from which there is no escape.
And the country in the one instance has
not shrunk from confronting them. It
has decided that certain property, though
bequeathed to the nation, was bequeathed
on certain understood conditions that
the nation should continue to belong to
a religion not materially distinct from the
religion of the donor. This is the only plea
on which the Church of England can retain
exclusive possession of her rectories and
bishoprics ; and her plea is, we think, equally
in accordance with common sense and with
history.

PRUSSIA.

The invitation to Prussia to attend the Conferences
at Paris has created much satisfaction in political
circles.
The Baron de Manteuffel left for Paris on Satur-
day morning, to attend the Conferences. M. Ballan,
Under-Secretary of State, is to discharge the func
time of the absent Minister ad interim.
__

The circumstances connected with Herr ven
Hinckeldey's death still excited great indignation
among the middle classes. The subsciiption opened
for the deceased's family already amounted to 10,000
thalers. The military tribunal appointed to try
Herr von Rochow would give judgment this week.
M. de Zedlitz Neukirch, Chief Councillor of the
Government at Liegnitz (Silesia), is appointed suc-
cessor to M. Hinckeldey in the Director-Generalship
of Police.
Colonel de Manteuffel, who has returned from his
mission to Vienna, has received from the King the
decoration of tilt Red Eagle, second class.
The inquiry into the late private despatch robbery
was eliciting some curious details connected with the
counsellors of the King.

RUSSIA.
Letters from St. Petersburg announce that, after
the conclusion of the peace, conferences will be held
for the purpose of examining and discussing projects
of reform in commercial policy.
An extension of Russia's military system has been
organisediat St. Petersburg, and is to be put in force
at once. A twelfth corps d'armee has been added to
the eleven existing corps of Cossacks. This new
corps is formed in the governments of Perm and
Orenburg, and is to furnish twelve regiments of

mounted Cossacks, a brigade of twenty-four guns,
and one hundred military workmen. The principles
of government will be the same as in those military
colonies formed on the Asiatic frontier.

TURKEY AND THE PRINCIPALITIES.
The establishment of a bank in Constantinople
occupies the whole attention of the Turkish Govern-
ment at present.
The late Hatti Hamayoulma has been protested
against by the Greeks and Armenians.
The project of issuing 100 millions of paper
money has been abandoned by the Divan.
A petition has been sent in to the Porte by the
inhabitants of Moldavia, entreating that in the recti-
fication of the frontier the line of the Dniester may
be taken as forming the real natural boundary of tha
country. " Good faith, equity, and the security of
Europe, are interested," say the petitioners, "in
giving us a frontier easily defensible, and which, by
a fixed and natural limit, will remove all chance of
future dispute."

CAMP OCCURRENCES.

Although the Russians had ceased firing on the
Ist, there was no little hesitation in our camp to go
beyond safe ground for fear of being made a potshot of
by some Russian rifleman; for, though the Russians
had ceased their dropping fire, none of them came
out of their ambuscades, or showed themselves
beyond their works. On the next, day, however, it
seemed to be resolved on both sides that the sooner
each showed a little less reserve the better. The
day was fine and light, the Russians turned out at
the Inkermann caves, and very soon a group of
English and French officers and men collected toge-
ther on the banks o° the river, in the hope of getting
a nearer view of the famous caves :

Mutual salutations took place, and to establish a frater•
nisation, as far as the obstacle which flowed between
would permit, cigars and tobacco were tossed across and
interchanged. This was not sufficient, and various attempts
were made to cross the river ; but the water was deep, and
they all ended in failures, which gave rise to amusement
on both sides. At last the Russians hit upon an expe-
dient. They felled a high tree, and, projecting it across
the water, formed a temporary bridge. The invitation was
accepted. Over went French and English, and nothing
could exceed the civility of their late antagonists, but now
their friendly entertainers. They showed them the Ruck
Chapel, the iron balcony of which, projecting from the
fete of the cliff, had often been an object of curiosity, and
hewn hollow places, which, instead of being simple charn•
hers or natural excavations, proved to be spacious
underground barracks. There was also soup, raki, or the
pipe, for such as desired them, and it is asserted that
under the influence of this sudden friendship, assisted
perhaps by the raki, there were more than one or two in•
stances of soldiers not finding the way back to their
Camps for many hours after the time when they first
crossed the liver. Some Russian officers were present
who spoke French fluently, and received with politeness
the French and few English officers who were near the
*Pot This meeting took place before the general order
appeared confining all persons within the camp from
going beyond the outposts, an order which will, of course,
interrupt any further visits to the Inkermann chapel and
caves.—Daily News cor., March 4.
During the conferences at Tractir-Lridge, the
Russians kept an eye on the main chance, and
" nobbled" all the best whips and sticks they could
get, in the following manner
On the first day of the negotiations they offered their
retched sticks to the English officers, who naturally were
creed for politeness sake to give them in return their
gailso some es. The next time they again offered, together
of their own, the worst cf the English whips
sticks back again, taking care only to return the Eng-
lish sticks to those officers who had better ones to give in
exchange.—...m.

THE AFRICAN MAIL.

The monthly mail, with dates from Cape Coast,
February 14, arrived on Tuesday. The coast was
healthy and quiet, with the exception of an outbreak
between the two native political parties at Cape
Coast, in which upwards of 100 natives were killed
and wounded. The disturbance ended by the depo-
sition and flight of the King.

FOREIGN MISCELLANEA.
PRINCE GORTSCHAKOFF, since his assumption of
the Viceroyalty of Poland, has done everything to
ingratiate himself with the Poles. He visits their
schools and charitable institutions, assists at public
performances, has promised his special protection to
the School of Arts, and makes a point to frequent
the houses of the Polish nobility. A few days since,
in reply to a hope that this new reign would
inaugurate a period of relief for Poland, he ob
served :—" The Poles have no idea of what the Em-
peror intends doing fur them very shortly." It is
certain that important administrative changes are in
contemplation.
COUNT ORLOFF AND THE PRINCESS LIEVEN, ac-
cording to some Paris gossip, are not very intimate
at this moment. It appears that the Count upon
his arrival in Paris for some days neglected to visit
the Princess, who, becoming fidgetty, wrote a note to
the plenipotentiary begging the favour of a visit from
him. The great man, it is reported, came, but only
to remind the Princess that a new regime now
existed at St. Petersburg, that she must no longer
look for the same indulgences under Alexander 11.
as she enjoyed under Nicholas, that, in short, her
position was entirely altered. One result of all this
has been that the Princess has comparatively closed
her salons, and now only occasionally receives a few
of her most intimate friends.
BERLIN last week rivalled London and Paris for
the number and exciting nature of its incidents.
On Sunday, says a letter, a dentist put an end to
the lives of his two children, his wife, and himself,
with chloroform; on Monday the Hinckeldey duel
occurred; on Tuesday the suicide of the Geheim-
rath von Ramer; also the murder of his two
youngest children by a cabinetmaker of the town
(the murder of the two other elder children and his
own suicide were only prevented by their deter-
mined resistance, in which all three were badly cut

on Thursday the impressive funeral of the late
President of Police. " Surely," adds the correspon-
dent, " this was enough to turn stronger nerves
than the Berliners have ; a Parisian could not have
asked for more excitement than this; no wonder,
then, that the waves of mental agitation roar
rather high in this little washhand basin of a world
called Berlin."

THE PRESS.

the fair artiste was overweighted in the selection, and
attempted too much. Her intonation will also re-
quire careful attention. Mrs. Temple, Mrs. Lockey,
Mr. Lockey, Mr. Sims Reeves and Mr. Weiss, were
in the engagement; as also kr. Thomas, the new
rising basso, and M. Gassier. Mr. Weiss has taken
higher ground at this meeting than before. In fact,
it must be stated that the English singers at the fes-
tivals of the autumn have more than maintained
their ground. The Rev. Mr. Sergeant, the Hon.
Secretary of the Worcester Musical Festival for
1857, made engagements at Gloucester, amongst
which was Viardot, specially for Costa's Eli, which
is to be produced in an entire form. Gloucester,
since the festival of 1853, has lost the Rev. Dr.
Evans, an amateur, who was strenuously exerting
himself to elevate the character of the musical per-
formances. In this respect his loss, it is to be
feared, is irreparable ; but in the administrative
arrangements his worthy coadjutor, a Mr. James
Henry Brown, the hon. secretary, remains, and a
more active, intelligent, and. zealous friend of the
festival could not be found. The Gloucester people
maintained their character for politeness and hospi-
tality to the strangers, and the hotel-keepers for
their consistency in charges. The very travels of a
visitor through the town in search of a simple cup
of tea that was drinkable may sound like an absur-
dity, bat no Arab in the desert ever searched more
desparingly for his oasis, than did a metropolitan
amateur at the week's festival at Gloucester, and,
mirabile dictu, without success.

FOREIGN LEGIONS AND ENGLISH
OFFICERS.

" EL Mono," a correspondent of the Times this week,
asks what have the German and Italian Legions
done which the Turkish Contingent did not, that the
officers and men of the first are to be sent to the
Cape, with a year's pay as gratuity, and given a free
grant of land, with arms, rations, and supplies; those
of the second to the I'arana, upon the same terms ;
while the English officers of the third are to take
only two and a half month's pay as, gratuity, and be
turned about their business :

One naturally asks what have these German and Italian
Legions done to deserve this favoured treatment. The
answer is " Nothing." Well, the Turkish Contingent did
quite as much, at all events. " But," say their admirers,
" they are a splendid body of men, and if they had been
called into the field would have distinguished themselves."
And I answer, so would have we!
Is it right that because Englishmen made no bargain
with Government for their blood that they should meet
with worse terms than those mercenaries who calculate on
our country's distress, and sold their swords accordingly.
Would not an Englishmen have the defence of the Care
frontier equally at heart with a German, and is an English!
man a worse farmer than an Italian refugee ? There are
many officers who did good service in the contingent, who
sacrificed their all to join it from distant lands, and have
uuw returned to their families to regret the day in "bleb

872

they abandoned comfortable homes for a promising, but
passing shadow. These would gladly emigrate to the
Cape on the same terms as the officers of the German

Legion.
The generosity of Great Britain is boundless to
foreigners, but are you an Englishman? Halte•la I For
you there is no bounty—for you no grants of land ! In
making sacrifices to serve your country you only did your
duty ! Be satisfied ! Conscience is your best reward, and

THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE.

It is now some time since the name of at,
Duke of NEWCASTLE appeared in political dis-
cussion. The recent appearance of his Grace,
in company with Mr. ROEBUCK, at the Master
Cutler's Feast at Sheffield was calculated to
excite many curious reflections. Of all the

TRANSPORTATION.

PCBLIC opinion is rapidly tending towards a
reversal of the policy of the last ten years in
regard to the punishment of criminals. The
experiment of relinquishing transportation
has been tried, and has not been found suc-
cessful ; and for once we find that it is possi-
ble for modern enlightenment and science to
have made a mistake.

Both in its effects upon the criminal and its
effects upon the home country, there can be no
doubt that transportation is a highly prefer-
able mode of punishment to penal servitude.
The influence of new scenes, and the whole-
some effect of honest labour after his sentence
has expired, will naturally work a favorable
change in the mind of the convict, while the
hope of rearing his family in comfort and
respectability will tend greatly to keep him in
the path of rectitude. It is only in a distant
country that hope can ever be enlisted among
our instruments of reformation. But when
it can be, there is little doubt that it is one of
the most powerful. The advantages of this
system to our own country are too obvious to
require elucidation.
Transportation has long been one of the
safety-valves of English society. We are ac-
customed to boast of the purity of our moral
atmosphere. And if the vaunt be justifiable,
there is no extravagance in supposing that
this periodical removal of corruption from
amongst us may have had its share in produc-
ing so agreeable a result. We must consider,
also, that by detaining our criminals at home
we do not merely saddle ourselves with the
same amount of vice which we might have
exported to a colony. Vice begets vice much
faster at home than abroad A London thief
is certain to be the father of thieves—the pro-
fession becomes hereditary, and families really
learn to take a pride in it But in a thinly-
peopled country like Australia or Africa,
honesty is the best policy, not only in the long
run but at once. Money can be got more
safely and more readily by labour than by
theft or violence. And the consequence is
that vice of this description, which at home
has a constant tendency to multiply itself.
has there as constant a tendency to wear itself
our.

With regard to the Colonies themselves, we
believe that with care the system might be so
managed as to occasion but little inconve-
nience. The more populous and cultivated
portions of them must of course be avoided.
But large tracts of country still remain in
Australia, to say nothing of the Falkland
Islands and Africa, available for penal colonies
In the first-mentioned country we must re-
member that even in the cities the advantages
of cheap labour would go very far to compen-
sate for the influx of criminals. Nor does it
follow that we should still necessarily pursue

AUSTRIA.

The Emperor and Imperial family visited Hun-
gary last week, and attended the consecration of the
Cathedral of Gran.

The Austrian Government had offered their me.
diation to the Porte in the Montenegrin affair.
The Ott Deutsche Post, contradicting its first
version of the second Neapolitan note of the Western
powers, says that it is only more conciliatory in
form, that in substance its conclusions are the same
as those of the first. Austria alone, it adds, has
hitherto prevented a stronger pressure on the part
of the Western powers.
Count Linningen Weaterburg, it is officially re-
ported, and not Baron de Koller, will replace Count
Esterhazy as Ambassador of Austria at Berlin.
The Regent of Baden has assumed the title of
Grand Duke. His Highness's elder brother, Ludwig,
has abdicated his claims.

A letter in the Augsburg Gazette says that the
Austrian Government having failed to influence the
Court of Naples to comply with the demands of the
Western powers, would await the solution of the
question, and had desired M. de Hubner to avoid
passing near Naples.

CORN EXCHANGE—The receipts of English wheat up to
our market this week have been but moderate, yet the show of
samples—chietly of the new crop and in middling oondition—
has been tolerably good. All kinds have sold heavily, at a
further reduction in the quotadous of from 5s to 7s per quarter.
The trade on Friday, however, was firm, at is advance. In
foreign wheat very little has been doing, and prices have given
way 2e to is per quarter. Floating cargoes of grain have been
drooping. Fine making barley has mostly realised previous
rates; but other qualities have fallen is to 2a per quarter.
Malt has changed hands slowly, on former terms. There has
been a good consumptive demand tif oats, at very full prices.
Both beans and peas have sold at MD enrrencies; but flour has
continued to give way—the top price of English having fallen to
60s per 2SOlks.

XNOLIIIH—Wheat, F.sses and Kent red, 60s to 655; white,
63s to 725; Norfolk and Lincoln red, 388 to 6.55. Malting barley,
