STATI OF TRADE.—The lace trade maintains its tone
of quiet monotony, with very little of the ordinary busi-
ness doing—the extreme severityof the weather, and the
state of the ministry, having added perceptibly to the
prevailing depression. The hosiery tr.kele continues the
same at last week, with additional gloom. The manu-
facturers are no doubt all making a little, and in so far
affording ensployrnent, but whether this is with a view
to the demands of the home trade or simply on specula-
' tion, we cannot pretend to decide. Ma,t,rials continue
firm, and so far as cotton yarns are concerned, would be
considerably in demand, were prices inclined to give
way, which they are not. —Nottinghamshire Guardian.
SAXONY AND THE FOREIGN LEGION.—LI the sitting
of the First Chamber of Saxony, on the ht inst., a
member inquired what measures the Government in-
tended taking to prevent any recruiting from being ef-
fected for the Foreign Legion of England. M. de Beust,
the Prime Minister, replied that the Government had
already adopted the necessary measures for the purpose,
although it had not learned that any attempt had been
made in Saxony up to that time to raise men for the ser-
vico alluded to.

FEMALE ORPHAN AsnuSr.—Donations of 101. from
the Earl of Chichester and 51. ss. from Philip Salomons,
Esq., (through La;ly Jane Peel), have been received on
behalf of this valuable institution.—Brighton Gazette.
THE RUSSIAN MAJOR AT INKERbIAN.—R will be re-
collected that after the battle of Ink erinan a Russian Ala-
jor was taken prisoner in the act of stabbing the wounded
men in the field. It was said at tile time that an op-
portunity would be afforded by his capture of testify-
ing the disgust and horror of the Allied Armies at the
barbarous conduct which this officer, as well as many
°Viers of his countrymen, had exhibited, and that be
would be brought to public execut. or.. His fate, how-
ever,
has not been recorded in auy of the correspondence
from the seat of war we have yet seen published.
We now learn from a letter of one of the three youth-
ful surgeons who left Edinburgh in October
W
last
fur Scutari that the expected victim has disap-
pointed public vengeance.
When captured hehad a
severe wound in his shoulder, and was sent to the hos-
pital at Kululee, near Scuturi, which is set apart for
wounded Russian prisoners, and where he died a short
time ago. The doctor who attended him says he has
preserved the wounded joint "as a memorial of the
monster."—Edinburg4 Courant.
