FARTS, FRIDAY EVIXIIIO.

The opinion of the English law officers of the
crown—that the American government, in the
affair of the San Jacinto, lias committed a flagrant
violation of the law of nations—was known here
by telegraph at an early hour in the afternoon, and
is approved of without a dissentient voice. The
only hope that war may be averted now rests on
the good sense of the American people, which may
yet prompt the United States 4overnment to ac-
knowledge an error.

The Bourse was greatly depressed. Rente fell
50c. and 60c., closing at 68fr. 90c., both for cash
and account. Mobilier fell 23fr. 75c., and the
Italian Loan 36c. Railways were from lir. 2k. to

EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIf, 26,

LATEST INTIELLIGENCE.

AMERICA.

CHINA.

The following summary of news is compiled
from the Overland Mail and Register of Mirch 10 :

The news from Japan is still interesting, ►nd, so fez es
we can learn, highly gratifying. It is to the effect that Mr.
Alcoek and the other representatives of foreign countries
have bees requested to Mare to Yedo upon terms that
give than all that assurance of safety which they com-
plained was wanting. The same report states that our mi-
nister would enter Yedo under a salute of twenty-one guns.
A later account informs us that he has done so, and •
letter has appeared in some of the newspapers, which he
wrote before leaving Yokohama ; its tone is merely con-
gratulatory, without anything of sufficient note to call for
publication.
The news from Tien-fain is not of course marked by any
event of importance. The weather has been extremely
cold in the far north, the thermometer falling below zero on
one or two occasions. Al the country is reported
to be frozen over as hard as a sheet of iron ;
the river is expected to break up about the
beginning of March. Mr. Bruises mails and the whole of
one French mail had been sent Cbefoo, but the English
naval authorities had not thought fit to send the garrison
mails, which therefore remain in their hands undelivered.
It is said that Mr. Bruce, with several officers in his suite,
will go to Peking about the end of March. There appears
to be truth in a rumour that famine has been prevailing
in that city, and that the greatest exertions have been
made by the Chinese government to have speedy supplies
of ries from the south.

From Shanghae the news is likewise very interesting. The
insurgent cause is rapidly pining ground, and, if recent reports
may be traded, it is marked by a bettor organisation, which
will have the effect, it is to be hoped, of removing that
character for lawlessness and disorder which has hitherto
cast a stain upon the rebel party.
_. .

The latest news from &obis is to the effect that Sir
Hope Grant has directed the troops than to make their ar
rangementa for another year's stay. The Shameen site is
nearly complete, and hopes are entertained that Canton may
yet become something like the thriving commercial depot of
olden times.

Lieutenant-General Sir Hope Grant leaves by the ma-
ple& steamer ; and Major-General Sir J. Michel assumes
the oomorad of her Majesty's forces in China.

Lettere have been received of • recent date from Mr.
Wade, who, in •late issue, we reported bad gone to Pekin
with • view to make arrangements for the reception of Mr.
Blum and suite in spring. He describes the capital se in
• Mate of the direst, deepest confusion. Numbers of the
inhabitig* were dying daily from want and starvation.
The Emperor still refuses to leave his place of refuge at
&hot, though his prime ministers have written to inform
him that the only means of saving the dynasty from imme-
diate destruction, is his instant return to the capital. Bat
even this, it is supposed, would have no effect in prolong-
ing the existence of this moribund government.

EQUITY COURTS.—Aran. 25.
(Before Vim-01mmllor Sir K. T. Kmdersky.)
OILIS C. LoNDON, DOVER, AND CHATHAM

POIM:ANT TO ILAZWAT COMPANIES.
Mr. J. Hinds Palmer moved for an injunction to restrain
the defendant from tittering upon and taking possession of
a portion of the house, all, Johnotreet, Holland-street,
Blackfriamtroad, the property of the plaintiff. lu January
last the company gave notice to treat for a portion of the
plaintiff's house, which they required for the purposes of
the railway. Plaintiff g,tve a counter notice, requiring
them, under the 92nd section of the Lands Clauses Coosoli-
dation Act, to take the whole, fixing the value at 6291.
Defendants thereupon paid 501. into the Bank of Eriglemi,
which they alleged to be the value of the part they re-
quired, and gave a bond for 501. more, and then claimed to
be allowed to proceed, under the 85th section of
the act, to take possession. Plaintiff then filed his bill, and
applied to the court for an ad interim injunction, which was
granted until this day. The question now to be decided
was whether the company could, under the circum-
stances, proceed to take possession of the premises, it being
contended on the kart of the plaintiff that, if the defendant.
were right in their assumption, the 92nd section of the
Wads Consolidation Act would practically be no
protection to owners of
Mr. Bally and Mr. K=Yappeared for the defendanta.
The Vice-Chancellor, without hearing the counsel for
the plaintiff in reply, said the question WWI very limited, but
of great imper Marie to milers), companies and landowners.
Inesmneh as the promoters of these undertakings were
authorised to take away a man's house and lead, which
OilOt be his only earthly peasemion, the object of the legis-
lating was to give certain eafeguards, and it was provided
that, when a company gam notice to treat as to a portion
of a man's house, they should be bound to take the whole,
and have the value of the whole assessed. The value of the
whole property must be ascertained and paid into court in
integre, and not in part. Hs should therefore grant the in-
junction as prayed.

CIVIL WAR.

THE BOMBARDMENT AND SURRENDER

OF FORT SUMTER.

)N, Aran. Z.

The North German Lloyd's steam-ship New York,
Captain Von Santen, with dates from New York to
the 14th, has arrived. She brings 1,000 dollars
for England, and 1,250 dollars for Bremen, 177
passengers in all, and a very large cargo, consisting
of upwards of 14,000 packages of cheese, wheat,
corn, tobacco, &c.
On the 14th, inside of Sandy Hook, she aig-
nailed the Hamburg ship No. 247, also the Bremen
bark Washington, and the American ship South
Durham ; and on the 18th she spoke a steamer,
supposed to be the Bremen, from Southampton.
The latest intelligence from Charleston is to the
evening of the 13th. Fort Sumter had uncondi-
tionally surrendered, after a fierce bombardment
from the batteries of Sullivan's Island, Cummings'
Point, and Stevens' Battery. The fire in the fort
was quelled before itreached the magazine. Major
Anderson and his men, under guard, were conveyed
to Morris Island, and the forts were to be taken
possession of at night by the confederate troops.
The following are the latest Charleston
despatches :

Ciialtgarion, Aga 12.
Civil war has at last begun. A terrible fight is at this
moment going on between Fort Sumter and the fortifies.
lions by which it it surrounded. In my last despatch I
stated that negotiations bad been re-opened between
General Beauregard and Major Aederson. This was done
with a view to prevent an unneoessary effusion of blood.
The laser was submitted to Major Anderson of surrender-
ins aa 'loon as hie supplies were exhausted, or of having
having a fire opened on him within a certain time.
This he refused to do, and accordingly, at twenty-
seven minutes past 4 o'clock this morning Fort Moultrie
►egan the bombarrimeat by firing two guns. To these
Major Anderson replied with three of his barbette guns,
after which the batteries on Mount Plisimat, Cummings'
Point, and the Floating Battery, opened a brisk fire of shot
and skalL Major Anderson did not reply, except at long
intervals, until between 7 and 8 &cloak, when he brought
into action the two tiers of gnu looking towards Fort
Moultrie and Stevens' iron battery.
CHARLESTON, April 13.
Major Andersen is hemmed in by ruins and fire. Every
building in Fort Sumter is burning. He has blown up on.
or two to arrest the flames. This does not is anywise
diminish his strength. He has been compelled to cease
firing altogether. The shire outside are supposed to
inaugurate the blockade. Offers have been received from
Virginia of any number of men required for fighting duty.
London, England, 1861-04-26

THE NEW YORK PRESS AND THE CIVIL

WAR.

From the New York Herold of April 14.

Through the events of the last few-days, the last
blow bas been given to the fabric of freedom, raised at such
oat by the fathers of the republic. Civil war has put an
end to a confederacy which had existed for three-quarters
of a century, and the restitution of 1789 has been
replaced by military governments. The time for argu-
ment has ceased, and the appeal that has been made to
arms precludes the possibility of foretelling what may
be the issue of the present melancholy crisis.
It can scarcely be doubted that both North
and South will at once proceed to adopt such
ulterior measures as their respective means allow of. Fort
Pickens will be reinforced immediately, and the result of
operations in the bay of Pensacola, will be known in a few
days. Virginia is on the eve of secession ; her example
will be followed by other border states ; awl two artier,
the one containing eighteen millions, and the other twelve
millions of inhabitant', will be arrayed against each other
in hostility. The recruitments that have recently taken
place at Washington show that an invasion of the district
of Columbia is dreaded, and it is not improbable that the
theatre of war may be transferred to that quarter.
It is to be feared, in times of such excite-
ment, that neither the Washington nor the Montgomery
government will contain themselves within the boundaries
of law. Each will assemble as many troops as it can, and
will operate where it can do the greatest amount of injury
to the other. Every advantage of positioo and circumstance
will be availed of, and, little by little, the entire land will
resound with the din of arms. As yet there has been
but little damage done at Charleston, almost as little
loss of life as in a battle in Mexico or Peru. But
before the war is ended many lives will be sacrificed, and
blood will flow r copiously as it did in the civil wars in
England. The bloody scene will be chiefly in and around
Washington. That will be the debateable ;potted, for pos-
session of the seat of government ; and while President
Davis will send an army to drive President Lincoln out of
it, the latter will call upon the North for help. Virginia
will probably secede immediately, without waiting to
go through forms, and will unite her arms with
those of the Confederate States. Other border slave
States will probably mingle in the strife on the
same side. Lincoln, in distress, will summon to has
aid the militia of Ohio, New York, Illinois, and other
republican states of the northwest, as he has already called
on the state troops of Pennsylvania. The fighting, there.
fore, will be of the most terrible description—close, and
hand to heed, with ride and musket and sword and bayonet ;
not with cannon, at long range, by which "nobody is hurt."
Both armies will be of the same nice, will have equal pluck,
and oontend not only with their ordinary fierceness, but
with the additional fury which consanguinity ever lends to
the battles of brothers.

RAILWAY COMMITTERS.

Yesterday the Peers aiding in committee passed
four or Bye new measures. In the committee of which Lord
Llanover is chairman, on Scottish railway communications,
the bills of the Daublane, Donee, and Callender, and that
of the Mane Valley, were Famed ; and the cue of the Esk
Valley line, for the accommodation of the collieries in that
district, was opened by Mr. Calvert, Q.C. After the me,
minatioe ci witnesses by Sir T. Phillips and learned counsel
on the Rhyrnsey Railway, who appeared in opposition for
the Taff Vale Railway, the committee, through their chair-
man (the Duke of Richmond), without carrying the case to
a conalosion, intimated that it was " not expedient to pro-
ceed with the Rhymney bill." The hearing of the Cardiff
and Caerphilly Railway comes on next. Earl de Winton 's
committes permed the bill incorporating the telegraphic
system of Chevalier Bonelli into a company, and by which
it is proposed to transmit telegraphic messages and de-
spatches upon an improved and more rapid principle, and
also the bell of the Staffonlahire Potteries Vi'ater Works
Company.
In the Commons' Committees the cam of the Stockport,
Timperlev, and Altriochem Railway was closed, and that of
the London and North-Western Company's proposed system
of Cheshire lines, which are virtually competitive under-
takings to the Stockport, Timperley, and Altrincham, was
opened by Kr. Hope Scott. Q.C. Mr. Forsyth, Q.C., was en-
gaged for some hours in Mr. &holefield's committee on the
important question of the absorption of the railways round
Edinburgh mid Glasgow into one system, to be called the
Caledonian Ceetral Railway, advocating in an able and ex-
haustive speech the expediency of the proposition, which
will be decided by the committee on their re-assembling this
(ley.

PRUSSIAN POLAND.

The Berlin Chamber of Deputies was occupied
on the 22nd inst. with a motion presented by the
Polish deputy, Niegolewaki, that the chamber
should ask the government "to take steps in order
that the territorial unity of the ancient Polish state
of 1772, guaranteed by the public law of Europe,
as well as by the national and political rights
belonging to the Poles within those limits, may
become • reality." In the course of the debate
which followed, the Minister of the Interior said
that the government would keep in check the Polish
agitation in the Grand Duchy of Poaen, whether it
assumed a pacific or • warlike form. The motion
was rejected by the Chamber.

CHAILEBTON, April 13, P.M.
The federal flag was again hoisted over Sumter, when
Poreher Miles, with a flag of trace, went to the fort. In a
few minutes the federal Sag was again hauled down by
Major Anderson, and a white one unfurled.
Cammzurox, April 13, Par.
General Beauregard, with two aides-de•camp, has left for
Seater. Three fire companies are now on their way to Sumter

dews crowd wild with joy. In all 2,000 shot' have been
fired. No Carolinians have been killed. Major Anderson
and his men, under guard, were conveyed to Morris Island.
The bells are ringing ont a merry peal, and our people are

RAILWAY EiGINEER.S.

Mr. BENTINUK askeitielineideaof the Board of
Trade if he had received a deputation of the railway
engineers, calling attention to the manner in which that
clan of railway servants were overworked, and asking for
the interference of the government.
Mr. M. GI WON answered that some weeks since a de-
potation was received at the Board of Trade, which was a
deputation of engine drivers, but he did not know whether
they represented any great number of engine driven else-
' where. They represented that they ware overworked, and
wished for some change of the agreement with their em-
ployers. They were reedy to work • smaller number of
boors, at a reduced rate of wages. Hit reply wee that the
Board of Trade had no power to interfere in the matter ;
and that so far as any legislation might be contemplated,
he gave them his own opinion, that he did not think par-
liament would eutertain a proposition for regulating the
hours of labour for adult males upon railwaya (Hear.)
He certainly eiritaght that the government itself mold not
usefully interfere in regulating either the wages or the
labour, or interfere in any other way between the employers
and the engine-drivers. He must say that be had heard
with great aatonishment the statement they made as to the
loss hours they had to work ; but he could not see how the
Board of Trade could do anything in the use.

Lord .1. I:UK-SELL—With regard to the question of the
hon. goutluman, it is certainly true that the Austrian go-
%eminent luirhoars out maintains the troops of the late
Duke of Modena oa the Venetian territory, The last we
he aril of theta was that there NW a boils of 3,000 moo
in the neighbourhood of Basun°. With regard to
the queetiou whetter that is • menace or hostile de-
monstration of Austria kminst Italy, I have to say that
we have received repeated mamma, and of very recent
date, that them is no intention of making any aggres-
sion on the Italian territory by the Emperor of
Austria 01 his troops ; but that of course the troops
of the Duke of Modena being there is only, as it were, a
protest on the part of the Emperor of Austria, that the
Austrian goverunieut do nut acknowledge the transfer of
the temtorie, of the Duke of Modena to the present King
of Italy. I cannot say that it is, io the bon. gentleman's
words, a menaoe or hostile demonstration, but it is no
doubt an unsatisfactory thing, that two opposing claims
should be maintained, the title of the Duke of Modena, on
the one side, tieing still recognised b the Emperor of
Austria, and that tide being of course denied on the other
side by the Kiug of Italy, who has assumed the government
of the territory of Modena as part of his kingdom.

Witte D Bralreanx—His Exoellency Baron

that kingdom on the 2Ath of November last, in his
seventieth year, died intestate. This gentleman, who
was a few years since Prussian Mohamed°, to this country,
was well knows to an claims, and rendered himself very
popular with Use higher circles by his social habits and

PASSPORT REGULATIONS IN BELGIUM.

This morning a despatch from the Belgian Minis-
ter of Foreign Affairs, containing answers to questions from
Lord John Russell respecting the recent alterations in the
passport system in Belgium, was presented to parliament.
The Belgian minister thus points out the ride henceforth to
be followed by travellers who are natives of Great Britain :
"As your excellency is already informed, the verification
of the passport at the frontier has been suppressed gene-
rally since the mouth of February last. The obligation to
have the passport via! by a Belgian diplomatic or consular
agent has also been supprensed in favour of the subjects of
several countries, of which England is one. I should add,
that for a long time past this requirement had been dis-
pensed with in the case of persons belonging to that state.
As regards the power of free circulation in the kingdom,
a foreigner who wishes to be authorised for this is abso-
lutely required to be able to prove, if need be, his identity
and his nationality. As a general rule, therefore, the per-
son interested cannot dispense with being furnished with a
passport ; but in consideration of the facilities which are
generally granted in the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland, and the benefit of which Belgians
are also permitted to enjoy, the government of the
king consents that in the case of English travellers there
may be substituted, if necessary, any other document which
sufficiently establishes the personality or identity of the
bearer. His Excellency the Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs in London desires to know whether a passport is
demanded of an English subject who merely passes through
Belgium, without passing a night there. The answer to
this question is in the negative. Nevertheless, if during his
journey the foreigner should find himself, owing to excep-
tional circumstances, in such a position that the authorities
might have aerials reasons for knowing who he was, he
would be required to prove his personality or his identity ;
but these cases are exceedingly rare. As regards the second
question put by his Excellency the Secretary of State, I
may, after the explanation into which I have had the
honour of entering above, confine myself to saying that
when the stay made in the country is for a single night
only, it very seldom happens that the passport (or the
equivalent document) is actually demanded."

THE MSS MAJUITAGI CASE.

0011.11,1 r v. LORD CILIMORNE.

The arguments in the cue of Corry v. Lord Cre-
mona were resumed on Wednesday before the Lord Chao.
oellor, whim the Solicitor-General proceeded with his
statemeot of the case relied on by respondent in re-
siatiug the petition. The first ground relied on was
that this property having been purchased for Lord Cm
morn* under the authority of the Court of Chancery,
while he was a minor sad a ward of court, the parches
was expressly excepted from the operation of the act
of parliament on which the petitioner • the 5 and
6 store, cep. U 3, commonly called the Msrryp Act.
The neat ground of defame was that Lord Connorne
wee the devisee of • term of MO_ years created by a
marriage settlement In 1762, and which term operated
sea bar against the petitiosser's claim to the dower. The
last submitted by the Solicitor-General was as to
the tion of the Bey. Mr. Caldwell On this point
he na a aa affidavit by lir. Samuel Acheson, who steed
that be wee pewee at ths meeting of the for
by
which the Rev. Mr. Caldwell was deposed for mi act,

wee rejected by the court as inadmissible ; and as the
question of the validity of the the Lord Chancellor
held with the petitioner, that the Act bed the
effect of legalising mirreges solemnised a dissenting
minister, who *Aker at the time of the manias was, or
previously, had been a duly appointed pis hsMvian sir

words of the act were quite plain, and the object of 1b
legislature equally so ; it was that persona should set be
entrapped by some subsequent discovery that a minister
bad been subjected to depositios. The were sot to go
rummaging for evidence of that sort. He osesidered the
fact of the marriage proved, that it was a valid marriage,

FRENCH RECOGNITION OF THE KINGDOM

OF ITALY.
A Vienna correspondent of the Inckspendance
Beige states that the Austrian government had
received official communication of a despatch ad-
dressed by M. Thouvenel to K de Monstrei, form-
ing a second reply to a protest which Count Reoh-
berg, simultaneously with the Court of Madrid,
had addressed to the Cabinet of the Tuileries. He
gives the following as the substance of this im-
portant document :
The Imperial Cabinet describes the situation, and proves
that its acting es it believes in the interest of Europe in
no longer adjourning the recognition of the King of Italy
by France, and that consequently the government of his
Majesty had decided to accomplish the act. In conveying
this resolution to the knowledge of the Cebinet of Vienna,
the Cabinet of the Tuileries cannot avoid remarking that
Austria, to avoid a settlement of the Roman question with.
out her co-operation, has only to recognise, as France does,
the new kingdom of Italy. Then she will be able to nego-
tiate with the latter on the subject of the policy to be fol-
lowed by her in the affairs of the Papacy. It is evident
that Italy will take in account the observations and counsel,
of a power which shall have been one of the first to recog-
nise her.

MARKETS.

COlTON.—Ltvintrom, Ann. 18.—The advicss rewind
this morning from the finites of the political difficulties
mused an active market here, with rather dearer prices.
The sales Sr. 20,000 bales. inducing 18,11.50 American,
Oid. to Bfd. ; 1,000 Surat, M. to sid. ; 350 Egyptian, 81d.
to 11d. ; of which 8,000 are for speculation and export.
The week's import is 15,752 balm.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—DRADTORD, Aran 18.—The
activity of the past fortnight has not been so marked to-day.
Wools are generally firm in price, and the recent advance
bright-haired soda has to be conceded by the spinners.
Skin wools, which for a long time have been scarce, and are
sow becoming longer in staple, are dearer. The stocks in
the hands of the staplers are not large, and aorta are con-
sequently bad to meet with, a circumstance which amounts
for the great firmness in price. In half-bred Down wools there
is little animation. Colonial wreck are much as they have boon
for many weeks past; but little is passing in either short
wools or combing wools. In worsted yarns, there is more
disposition on the part of export houses to do business, but
the prices offered are still so lew that spinners are com-
pelled to refuse orders. A good many cheap lots of yarns,
which have been made into stock during the fiat times, have
been cleared out, sod spinners are therefore in a position to
ask a little more. The fair DOW holding at Leipsic is ffir
from good. There, as here, the absence of the American
buyers is seriously felt. For home consumption there is
little or no change. Machinery which has been idle is being
set in motion. There is no Increased business in goods.
The leading Manchester houses have not dons
much business today, and the very unfavourable news
from America is operating very prejudicially. The present
month, b mever, is " between seasons," and quietness is
usual. Continental merchants act with extreme caution.
Letters from mercantile firms in Paris describe the mer-
chants there as anxiously looking forward to the time when
the new tariff will come into operation, and many of them
may be exported over next month for the purpose of aapWin
examining and comparing our gomla with those of the ROll WI

THE CHINESE INDEMNITY.

Mr. FlTTAiiikAlit---asked her Majesty's government
whether they could inform the house of the amouut claimed
by the British mercantile community at Canton as iudeni•
nity for property destroyed • and whether it wee proposed
that the indemnity of 2,000,000 tools Axed by the treaty of
Pekin should be paid mated the money tint reeeivedfran the
Chinese government.
Lord J. RUSSELL said that the amount of indemnity
claimed by the British mercantile community at Canton
for propetty destroyed amounted to something over
450,0001. Upwards of 050,000 . had bees already received
and recovered from the Chimes With respect to the
need•of distribatioa.there emaciating is the treaty of Pekin
with reference to that demand ; bet iestructioas bad been
given to Mr. Bruce that if he should have decided
to pay it rateahly according to the instalments received,
her Majesty's government would approve of that arrange-
ment ; but if he should have made any other arrangement,
they would not decide on the ease until they were in pos.
session of the memos which induced him to take such other
mode of distribution.

IRISH FISHERIES.

Yr. DAWSON asked theaiirifiecreiary for Ireland
whether it wee the intention of the government to intro-
duce, during the present session, soy measure for the better
regulation of Irish fisheries.
Mr. CARDWELL said it would be in the recollection of
the house that at the close of last session he introduced a
consolidatios rantsure of that kind for the purpose of having
it printed mad simulated. That bill embraced • large num-
ber of the roccesmeadations of the committee which sat
ape tbe English Isheriee. Mr. Fennell, who bad been
acting on the royal commission respecting the Siberian is
England, wee ef opinion that a bill for England had better
receive some cessicleration from the Louse before any coo-
solidatiou maseare was brought in relative to Ireland. Ac-
cordingly he (Mr. Cardwell) was not prepared to say he
could introduce a bill this session.

OCCUPATION OP SAN DOMINGO BY THE
SPANIARD&

Mr. GREGORY asked theiiier;t;ry of State for Foreign
Affairs if he had received say iolorrnation of the occupation
of soy portion of the Weed of St. Domingo by the
Spaniards, and if he had received any copies of say pro-
clamations by Spanish officers relative thereto, sued if so
whether he would lay them on the table of the house.
Lord J. RUSSELL was widcratood to say the goners-
meet bad not received any account 14 the occupation of say
portion of San Domingo by the Spaniards. They had, bow-
ever received some proclamatioes which bed been Mused by
General Soldanba, in which he declared that theneeforth
the sovereignty of the island should be in Spain, imme-
diately after which be mused the Spanish Sag to be hoisted.
He had also received so account that a venial of war had sailed
with troops from Colo to San Domingo, but so amount had
been received of its arrival. He lied heard from time to time
from Madrid, to the effect that the Spanish government
would aot accept that transfer of the island ; hut no otScial
isformatiou had reached the government of what had been
dose. In the present state of affairs it would not be eoe-
ducive to the interests of the public service to LI the
papers on the table. As for the proclamation., copses of
them had appeared in all the newspapers, and there was no
objection to their production.

land would be allowed to partake of the same advantage.
Lord J. RUSSELL was understood to lay that it was in-
tended to enkirp the number of these studentships. and
wheu t►at was done recommendations would be made to ex-
tend the advantages referred to in bin letter to the univer-
sities of Scotland and Ireland with respect to the nomina-

Advices from Warsaw, to the 115thiost., state
