FRANCE.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING

Some surprise has been expressed at Count
Orloff prolonging his stay in this city, now that
Baron Brunow has been nominated on an extra-
ordinary mission ; but I am told that he is afflicted
with a malady in the eyes, and is stopping for
medical advice.

The departure of Count de Morny for St.
Petersburg will, I hear, take place on the
sth or 6th of June. As he goes to re-establish
ordinary diplomatic relations, he will only be
accompanied by the ordinary personnel of
an embassy. But as he is to figure at the
coronation of the Czar, which is to take place at
Moscow, in that city, a brilliant staff, or what the
government calls (somewhat comically) " the
extraordinary personnel" will be sent to join him
there.
I am informed that on the Ist of the next month
a vessel of war will be sent from Toulon to Civita
Vecchia to convey to France the Cardinal who is to
baptise the Imperial Prince.

A review was given yesterday at Versailles (as I
told you there would be) in honour of the Austrian
Archduke. He afterward visited the palace—a
visit that must have been painful to him, seeing
that he must have been constantly reminded of
that unfortunate member of his family, Marie
Antoinette, seeing also that the walls are literally
covered with pictures representing the defeats of
the Austrians at the hands of the French. After a
grand dinner, a popular farce, by the company
of the Palais Royal, was performed in the theatre
of the palace.
One of the German papers has another version
of the history of the treaty of the 15th April
between France, Austria, and Great Britain—a
treaty which has caused so much sensation on the
Continent., that the comparative silence of the
English press and parliament about it excites
surprise. This new ersion is that France and
England had concluded a separate treaty between
themselves, fixing their future conduct with regard
to Turkey—that Austria got word of it, and
demanded to be allowed to be a party to it, and,
in consequence, much secret negotiation, after the
treaty between England and France was trans-
formed into that between the three powers.

The last accounts from Copenhagen say that the
Sound question is not so fur advanced towards a
solution as has been supposed, and that the govern-
ment is not without apprehension that the United
States will, after all, make it the pretext for some
hostile demonstration.

Accounts from Constantinople to the 12th have
reached Marseilles. General Codrington was
expected in the former city on the 13th. A con-
vention between Turkey and the allies, allows, it was
reported, six months for the evacuation of
the territory by the latter. Of the English army
six regiments were to go to Canada, five to Gibral
tar, three to Corfu, and none to Malta. The Turk-
ish Government had resolved on establishing a
corps of gendarmerie on the French model. Forces
had been sent to Marasch, where the English agent
was burnt.

A telegraphic despatch says, that at Malta, on
the 15th, every thing was tranquil.
Conimunication by sea, with St. Petersburg,
recommenced on the 18th. The Czar left on the
19th for Warsaw, and was to arrive there on the
.21st. An amnesty, and other concessions, were
talked of.

A postal treaty between Prussia and the United
States of America has been concluded.

CRICKET.—An interesting match will take place (to-
morrow) Saturday, between the Everton and Bootle clubs,
on the ground of the latter, when some excellent play is
expected by both parties. A band will be in attendance, and
everything is arranged for the afterndon's amusement to pass
off with great eclat.

The declared value of the British goods exported from
Liverpool, according to the bill of entry of the 21st inst.,
for the month of April, was £4,343,560. This, with the
returns for the quarter ending the 31st of March, brings up
the value of the British goods exported (exclusive of f 'reign
goods) from the port, in the first four months of 1856, to
£16,820,774.

INQUEST.—An inquest was held yesterday before the
borough coroner, W. H. Currie, Esq., on the body of a man
named James Molyneux, fifty years of age, whose death
resulted from injuries received by him while employed at
a quarry at Woolton. The quarry belongs to Mr. James
Gore, of Woolton, and when the stones are cut out, there
being no crane for lowering them, they are hurled over the
brow of the rock. Last Saturday week the deceased was
employed at the quarry, and after hurling over a
large stone, the ledge on which he was standing
gave way, and he was precipitated with the falling matter
to the bottom of the pit, a height of thirty-five
feet. He was immediately removed to the Royal Infirmary
where he died yesterday. The jury in returning their
verdict censured Mr. Gore for not having stones lowered by
a crane, as the practice of hurling them over the brow tends
to make the edge of the quarry insecure.
CANVASS OF I.IvERPOOL F SIIND AY SCHOOL SCHOLARS.
—Last evening, a meeting of the canvassers and friends of
the above movement was held at the Concert Hall, Lord
Nelson-street. The platform was occupied by ministers
of the various religious denominations, and the body of the
hail was well filled. The Rev. Dr. Hume, the chairman of
the executive committee, occupied the chair. After the
usual singing and prayer, the rev. chairman addressed the
meeting, and in the course of his observations referred to the
imnortance of the subject under consideration, which was not
alone for this, but for future generations. The object they
had in view, was to do that which government had never
done, namely, to look into every house, and send the
children to a Sabbath school. He then went on to show
from statistics the necessity.there was for the agitation, as
a very large portion of the juvenile population of the town
were receiving no education, and that the present would be
the means by which it could be accomplished; He also
pointed out the great necessity there was for teachers, and
concluded by hoping that the effects of the committee would be
crowned with success, and that it might lead tet the forma-
tion of classes for adult instruction amongst; the working.
classes. The Rev. Mr. Graham next addressedfthe meeting,
and appealed for more teachers, more scholars, and more
school-accommodation in the town of Liverpool. Other
ministers of religion addressed the meeting, which concluded
by singing the doxology.

Lord COLCHESTER moved resolutions condemnatory of
the course taken by the English Plenipotentiaries at the
Conferences of Paris, in agreeing, without the knowledge
or consent of Parliament, to the declaration for the pro •
tection of neutrality in time of war, that free ships make
free goods. The noble lord referred to various authori-
ties to show that the declaration was inconsistent with
the former practices of this country.
The Earl of CLARENDON defended the course taken by
himself and his colleague in reference to this subject. He
referred to authoritis to show that this course was
justifiable, and called attention to a number of treaties
entered into, during, a period of 125 years, with France,
Spain, Holland, and Portugal, in which, with a few
exceptions, provisions were contained recognising the
principle that free ships make free goods. He reminded
the House, that if they took a different course from that
adopted by them at the commencement of the war, they
might be at war with other countries besides Russia ; at
least they could not hold any friendly relations with
them. _

The Earl of CARNARVON supported the resolution.
The Earl of HARROWBY defended the course taken by
the Government.

The Earl of HAunivicxE supported the resolution.
The Earl of ALtEMARLE and the Duke of ARGYLE de-
fended the Government. _ .

The Earl of DERBY defended the resolution, urging that
from the year 1753 the principle had been asserted, and
had been upheld by England, that enemy's goods on board
neutral vessels should be liable to seizure, and he con-
demned the conduct of the British plenipotentiaries in so
readily abandoning it witl.mt the opinion of Parliament
having been solicited. The surrender of the principle in
question had been looked upon by Mr. Pitt as a surrender
of the maritime greatness of the nation, and should,
therefore, be resisted by Englishmen to the last drop of
their blood. But Russia had made the proposition,
France had conceded, and England had been led by
France. Time was when England was not afraid to stand
alone, and England would be England still if it were not
for England's ministers !

Earl-GRAY and Earl GRANVILLE defended the govern
ment.

MILITARY HORSES IN THE CRIMEA.

Replying to Sir DE LACY EVANS,
Mr. PEEL said it was the intention of the Government,
that the more valuable of the artillery horses now in the
East should be brought home, and that the horses of the
land transport corps should be sold on the spot.

MAILS TO AUSTRALIA,-THE IRISH MAILS.

In reply to Mr. MACARTNEY,
Mr. WILSON said, that all the tenders for the convey-
ance of mails between' England and the Australian
colonies, that were presented in March last, had been
rejected, but he had lately been in communication with
persons connected with the colonies on the subject, and
new conditions would be advertised in a few days. With
regard to the Irish Mails, the conditions that the Govern-
ment had thought proper to propose for the service, had
been sent to the united companies, and were now under
consideration.
Replying to Lord NAAs,

Mr. WiLsoN stated that one of the conditions for the
service was, that the mails should be carried from Lon-
don to Dublin in eleven hours,

CORRUPT PR.b CTICES AT ELECTIONS,

In reply to Mr. FITZROY KELLY,

Lord PALMERSTON stated that it was intended to propose a
continuance of the Corrupt Practices Prevention Act, of 1854,
for a limited period, as the experience of its working was not
yet sufficient to lay the foundation for improvements, which
might be required.

AMNESTY TO POOR DEBTORS,

Mr. PELLATT enquired whether the government would
advise her Majesty to release, in commemoration of the peace,
debtors who were imprisoned for non-payment of sums not
exceeding 46.

Sir G. GRAY said the government bad no power to do so,
and added that most of the persons referred to in the question
were detained in prison, in consequence of their refusal to avail
themselves of the advantages that the law afforded.
