THE MISSION OF M. DE PROKESOH.

The Austrian Gazette says :—" The most varied ver
sions are published by the journals on the subject of the
mission of M. de Prokesch to Paris. Those who con-
nect it with a decided part to be adopted in the question
of peace or war do not take into account that M. de
Prokesch left Vienna on the Bth, and that supposing
him to be then in possession of instructions, the events
which have since taken place would deprive them of
any value. It is much more probable that M. de Pro-
kesch is at Paris with a view to conferences and nego-
tiations connected with the functions which he is shortly
to be called on to fill at Constantinople as internuncio
of Austria. The fourth point must in the end be solved,
and it is ♦ery natural that a question which so closely
interests Turkey should be discussed at Constan-
tinople. This will explain why M. de Prokesch
wishes to have some preliminary conversation on
the subject with the French Government, and the more
so as the views of France and Austria are nearly the
same. As to the journals which pretend that the visit
of M. de Prokesch to Paris is merely accidental, it may
be replied to them that before leaving Vienna he had a
passport for the French capital."

CONSTERNATION AT BERLIN.

The following is from the Times' Paris corre-
spondent's letter, dated yesterday, 6 p.m.
:
A prixate letter from Berlin, of the 27th, ema-
nating from one of the Court, that is to say, anti-
national and Russian party, speaks of the general
conttarnation produced by the fall of Sebastopol'
No terms, however, are sufficiently contemptileng,
whoa the writer alludes to Prince Gortschakoff
the other Russian Generals who have hitherto con•
ducted the military operations. The Czar himself is not
spared. Neither is the person of the King of Prussia
treated with the respect that might be expected from
a Prussian courtier. Indeed, they who make
most free with that unintelligible Sovereign here
hardly described him in terms more humiliating.
The Queen expressed her condolence and her conso-
lation to her sister, the Archduchess Sophia, mother
of the Emperor of Austria, directly the sad intelli-
gence reached Berlin. Weeping and wailing, disap-
pointment and rage, are the orier of the day. How-
ever the Russian party may put a good face on the
matter, it is certain that, in secret their hopes of
Russia soon recovering from the stunning blow that
has been inflicted on her are not very sanguine. Her
most ardent partisans, when they speak frankly among
themselves, do not appear to believe that the Russians
can do much against the Allies in the Crimea ; and I
can assure you that not a few are of opinion that the
sooner they evacuate it the better. With all this
they do not believe, no more than they wish, that the
Emperor Alexander will make propoeitione of peace.
The letter I allude to mentions that when the disaster
cf Sebastopol was known, the populace of St. Peters:
burg became dreadfully excited, and meeting the carri-
age of the Empres, in the streets, followed it on its way
to the Palace with shouts of " Vengeance for Sebas-
topol Vengeance for Korniloff Vengeance for
Nach:moff?" If the Russian people knew how theirel
mutilated sons and brothers are left by their Imp
en
" father " to be consumed by fire in the hospitals of Se-
bastopol, it is doubtful whether their reception of the
Imperial family would not assume another form.

SINGULAR CASE.

At the Salford Town-hall, on Thursday, a man named
John Griffiths was brought up on remand, before Mr.
Trafford, charged with unlawfully obtaining and running
away with 715/., under the fallowing circumstances :
Some time since the prisoner was in partnership with
Mr. Farrell (as joiners and builders) ; they became bank-
rupt, and their partnership ceased. Afterwards two
persons, named Brownbill and Lawton, carried on busi-
ness with Griffiths ; but as some of Messrs. Farrell and
Griffiths' accounts remained to be settled, an excuse ex-
isted for Griffiths being frequently about Messrs. Brown-
bill and Co.'s premises. A short time since the Lanca-
shire and Yorkshire Railway Company sent notice to
Messrs. Brownbill and Co. that they were prepared to
pay the sum of 715 d. in question. The notice was in the
following terms :

" Notice.—You aro requested to apply for the payment
of your account, amounting to 715/., on Friday, the 21st
inst., at one o'clock. If you cannot, then the authority
at the foot must be signed in favour of the party autho-
rised to receive payment on your account."
This was signed by the treasurer of the Lancashire and
Yorkshire Railway, and it was received by Messrs.
Brownbill and Co. at their place of business, where it
had no doubt been seen by the prisoner, who, on the
day in question, presented himself—not at one o'clock,
but at a much earlier hour— at the offices of the company,
and obtained cheques for the amount, which he got
cashed during the morning, and which was discovered
when one of the firm went to the company's offices, in-
tending to receive the cheque.
Griffiths was pursued and apprehended, but only 15s.
of the money was recovered. Messrs. Brownbill and
Co. gave the company notice that Griffiths was in cus-
tody, but the railway authorities replied, "He has
robbed you, not us, and you may prosecute if you
please." Messrs. Brownbill and Co., on the other hand,
contended that the company ought to prosecute. Grif-
fiths was therefore discharged, there being no charge
against him.
To explain the above singular proceedings (says the
Manchester Guardian) it must be stated that the rail-
way company, by prosecuting Griffiths, would have ad-
mitted that the money was obtained from them, and
that they were therefore liable to pay Messrs. Brown-
bill and Co. the whole amount ; and the company do
not of course wish to pay the money twice. Messrs.
Brownbill, by prosecuting, would have admitted their
receipt of the money, and thus have invalidated their
present supposed claim upon the railway company. Had
the 7151. been recovered with the prisoner, there would
probably have been no difficulty as to who should pro-
secute.

NAPLES.

A letter from Naples, of the 20th, gives the fol-
lowing view of the intolerable state of the various
branches of King Bomba's despotism :—Since 1848,
up to May, 1854, 839 persons had been condemned
to different punishments for political crimes. Of 47 of
those condemned to death, 26 were commuted to the
Ergastala, and 21 to heavy. irons. Among the con-
demned were 57 priests, and 34 of the prisoners
had died. This list, however, gives no account of

IN RE THOMAS LEIGH.

This was a meeting for last examination. The bankrupt
was described as of Wellingborough, wine merchant.
The balance-sheet, which was prepared by Mr. But-
ter, commenced January, 1854, and ended August, 1855,
and showed debtor to creditors, 9051. ; ditto holding se-
curity, 5.31/. ; profits, 3991. ; good debts, 1291. ; doubt-
ful, 7/. ; property given up, 1501. ; ditto in hand of
creditors, 5981.. ; trade expenses, 4111. ; domestic and
personal ditto, 2011. ; law ditto, 36/. ; excepted articles,
201. ; losses, 2241. ; deficiency at commencement, 571.
The bankrupt passed his examination.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL.

A man named Harris was charged before Alderman
Humphrey with stealing two pewter pots from the Ship
public-house, Ivy lane.
The barmaid stated that having lost a dozen pots
within a week the prisoner was suspected ; and yester-
day after he left the house she followed him and found
he had two in his possession.
He was committed for two months. _ _

ROBBERY AND INGRATITUDE.—Mary TT7tite, remanded,
charged with stealing five sovereigns and other articles,
was again placed at the bar.

It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner ar-
rived here from Ireland about three weeks since in a
destitute condition, and was afforded temporary shelter
by Mary Daly, an Irishwoman, and a widow, residing
at 6, Plough-cuurt, Newgate-street. In the course of
conversation the prosecutrix stated she had saved five
sovereigns, which she kept in a box in her room. On
Wednesday morning she went out, leaving the prisoner
in charge of her room ; and, on her return, she found her
gone, her box broken open, and the money taken away.
Since the former hearing the police had ascertained she
had taken numerous articles out of pawn.
Mr. Alderman Humphrey ordered the various articles
and money found to be given up to the prosecutrix, and
sentenced the prisoner to three months' hard labour.

SERIOUS FRAUDS BY A FRENCH NAVY

CONTRACTOR.

The Maritime Tribunal of Brest has just been occu•
pied for seven days in trying 23 persons on the eharge of
defrauding the state. Notwithstanding the immense
length of the trial, the main facts of the case are simple
enough :—The principal prisoner, a man named Turrel,
who since 1829 has been master tailor in the dockyards
of Toulon, had, it appeared, been accustomed during all
that time to appropriate to his own use the cuttings of
cloth entrusted to him to work up into uniforms, though
he ought to have accounted for the greater part of them
to the state ; and it further appeared, that, being re•
markably skilful in his trade, he invented a new system
of cutting, which enabled him very materially to in-
crease his depredations. Nor did he confine his fraudu-
lent operations to cloth alone, but extended them to
stuffs for linings, linen, and other things which were
required in making clothes. As the value of the
goods confided to him annually was very considerable
—that of the cloth alone being upwards of 1,000,000 f.—
his illicit gains were exceedingly extensive ; the pre-
cise amount of them could not be ascertained, but
he married his daughters with 500,000 francs each,
i and he is now in possession of a very large fortune. Of
the twenty.two other prisoners one was the wife of
Turrel, and she was accused of having aided him in his
robberies; nine were dealers in Toulon, charged with
having purchased his booty knowing it to be stolen ; two
were lieutenants in the navy, named Banda and De-
monteil, both members of the Legion of Honour, and in-
vested with the task of superintending the making and
distribution of the clothing for the navy—and the charge
1 against them was that they had tolerated Turrel's rob-
beries, and bad indirectly profited by them, by obtaining
from him presents of money and other things
&c. ; and, finally, all the other prisoners, who w' loan°,
were in
Turrel's employment, were charged with having io dif-
ferent degrees assisted in the frauds and participated in
the profits of them. M. Berryer defended Turrel with
great eloquence, but the Tribunal declared him guilty,
and sentenced him to two years' imprisonment and
10,000 f. fine, also to
pay a sum of 40,000 f. by way of
restitution to the state, and 5,093 f. costs. All the other
prisoners were acquitted, with the exception of one
; Montigny, Turrel's foreman, and he was sentenced to
i two months' imprisonment and 25f, fine.

In the sitting of the 25th of the Second Cham-

" Gentlemen,—T am happy to receive from you the
assurance that the Second Chamber is desirous to apply,
in concert with my Government, its best efforts for the

THAMES.

ROBBERY OP EIGHT SOVEREIGNS BY A SEAMAN.—
Peter Donald, a seaman, belonging to the ship Claren-
don, was brought before Mr. Yardley charged with
stealing eight sovereigns from John Manuel, a man of
colour, residing at No. 13, Market-hill, Shadwell.
The prisoner is a tall, scraggy-looking man of colour
with grey
bair. The prosecutor, a Lascar, belonged to
the ship Norden, and was sent up from Newcastle a few
days ago by the owner of that vessel to join another
ship bound to the East Indies, but the Lascar and many
other Indians after signing an agreement to proceed
from Glasgow to Calcutta in a ship refused to embark on
board a steamer provided for them, and which was to
convey them to Glasgow. The prisoner, who was re-
presented to be an idle, dissolute, and dishonest
fellow, belonging to a foreign ship in the dock,
had mixed with the Lascars, and been drink-
ing with them at their expense. A few days
since the prosecutor received 10 sovereigns from the
agent of the ship to distribute among his shipmates.
He put the money in a white handkerchief, and went to
a public-house with the prisoner, who suddenly snatched
the handkerchief containing the money from the Lascar,
and made off with it.

Another Lascar confirmed the evidence of Manuel.

Marshall, a police constable, No. 20 H, said that
Manuel had complained to him that a girl ran away
with his money, and Mr. Glazier, an interpreter, said he
had seen the prosecutor and the prisoner together fre,

IN THE HIGH COURT OF CHANCERY.

TRIESEMAR.—On the 29th of May, 1855, an
iniunction was granted by the High Court of Chancery, and
on the 11th June following was made perpetual, against Joseph
ranklin and others, to restrain them, under a penalty of one thou-
sand pounds, from imitatin; this Medicine, which is protected by
Royal Letters Patent of England, and secured by the Seals of the
Ecole de rharmacio do Paris, and the Imperial College of Medicine,
Vienna.

TRIESEMAR, No. 1,
is a remedy for Relaxation, Spermatorrhesa, and Exhaustion of the
System, whether arising from excesses, accident, or climate.
To those persons who are prevented entering the married state by
the consequences of early errors it is invaluable.
TRIESEMAR, No. 2,
effectually, in tho short space of three days, completely and entirely
radicates all traces of those Disorders which Capivi and Cubebs
lave so long been thought an antidote for, to the ruin of the health
,f a vast portion of the population.
TRIESEMAR, No. 3,
is the great Continental Remedy for that class of Disorders, which
unfortunately the English physician treats with Mercury, to the in-
evitable destruction of the patient's constitution, and which all the
sarsaparilla in the world cannot remove.

and of all nauseating qualities. They may lie on the toilet table
without their use being suspected.

MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT TO A CHILD.—
John Perks, a carman in the employ of Messrs. Barton,
plumbers, Bethnal-green-road, was brought before Mr.
A'Beckett, charged with causing the death of a child
unknown.

Josiah Welsh, police-constable 499 A, mid be was on
duty in the Southwark-bridge-road about 3 o'clock yes-
terday afternoon, when he was called into Gravel-lane,
where he found a child lying dead, and the prisoner,
who had a horse and cart heavily laden with lead, was
pointed out to him as having driven over it, and caused
its death. The prisoner, who said it was quite an acci-
dent, was then taken to the station-house.
Mr. A'Beckett---Is there any one in court who wit-
nessed the occurrence

Charles Hoff, a fishmonger, residing at No. 2, Gravel-
lane, Southwark, said he was standing at his door about
3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when he saw the prisoner
driving a cart towards him. The horse shied at another
vehicle crossing it, and became unmanageable, and the
prisoner, in trying to pull it up, fell backwards in the
cast. The latter went on the pavement where two young
children were playing, when the horse kicked one into
the road, and the wheel passed over the other's head,
pressing it quite fiat. Witness lifted up the child, but

it was quite dead.
Thomas Trevelyon, a cooper, residing in Park-street,
said that he witnessed the occurrence, and he considered
that it was purely accidental.
The prisoner said he had been more than ten years in
his present employ, and he could assure his worship
that it was an accident, and he was extremely sorry for
it.
Mr. A'Beckett told him an inquest would be held ;
therefore he should remand him until Tuesday next, but
at the same time he would take his o wn recognisance to
appear on that day.

SERIOUS FRAUDS BY A FRENCH NAVY

CONTRACTOR.

The Maritime Tribunal of Brest has just been occu-
pied for seven days in trying 23 persons on the charge of
defrauding the state. Notwithstanding the immense
length of the trial, the main facts of the case are simple
enough :—The principal prisoner, a man named Turrel,
who since 1829 has been master tailor in the dockyards
of Toulon, had, it appeared, been accustomed during all
that time to appropriate to his own use the cuttings of
cle.t. entrusted to him to work up into uniforms, though
he'eught to have accounted for the greater part of them
to the state ; and it further appeared, that, being re
.
markably skilful in his trade, he invented a new eystra
of cutting, which enabled him very materially to ro-
of
his depredations. Nor did he confine his fraudu-
lent operations to cloth alone, but extended
.them to
which were
stuffs for linings, linen, and other things
considerable
required in making clothes. As the value .of the
goods confided to him annually was very
wards of
.1,000,000 f-
. of the cloth alone being up
his illicit gains were exceedingly extensive ;. the pre-
cise amount of them could not be ascertained, but
he married his daughters with 200,000 francs each,
and he is now in possession of a very large fortune. Of
the twenty-two other prisoners one was the wife of
Turrel, and she was accused of
.having aided him in his
robberies • nine were dealers in. Tonlon, charged with
having purchased' his booty knowing it to be stolen ; two
were lieutenants in the navy, named Banda and Da•
monteil, both members of the Legion of Honour, and in-
vested with the task of superintending the making and
distribution of the clothing for the navy—and the charge
against them was that profited had tolerated Turrel's role-

Thoessontial object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con•
sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man -
qood, and premature decay at all stages of Life,
than, perhaps, an
Aber class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal i,
particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts
their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazardee
the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled;
It is absolutely necessary that all men should know, that there art
ginciPles of personal management which cannot be violated withon
incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suttee(
the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
may be mitigated, hew the sting of their bitterness may be removed
and how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and above all
that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functions
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure
The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensiv,
practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have
unfortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignoran
emoirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to Mac-
faith in their pretensions.

RUSSIA

Letters in the Berman journals state that a grand
ceremony will take place at Nicolaieff in presence
of the Emperor Alexander, and with the greatest
pomp—the keel of a screw line-of-battle ship of
130 guns is to be laid down. This is intended as
an indirect mode of protesting against the idea that
Russia will ever renounce the supremacy which
she has exercised in the Black Sea.

A letter from Posen, of the 24th ult., in the Post
_Gazette of Frankfort, says that the grand Coun-
cil of VVia at Odessa, or Perekop, which the Em-
peror of Russia intends to hold, is for the purpose
of deliberating on the question as to whether the
state of the army and the resources of the country
are such as to enable the war to be continued with
the chance of a favourable result. The most intel-
ligent and experienced Russian officers had been
summoned to attend the Council, and a certain
number had left Warsaw for the purpose ; but
Prince Paskiewitch, on account of the state of his
health, bad been unable to leave.
We have received the St. Petersburg journals of
the 21st of September.

The JournaG de St. Petersbour7 announces the
departure on the Ist (13th) of September of the
Emperor Alexander, the Empress, the Grand Duke
Cezarewitch, and the Grand Dukes Alexander
Alexandrowitch, Vladimir Alexandrowitch, and
Alexis Alexandrowitch, for Moscow, where they
arrived at 11 o'clock the same evening.
Their Imperial Majesties were accompanied by
their Imperial Highnesses the Grand Dukes Con-
stantine, Nicholas, and Michael, the Grand
Duchesses Alexandra, Maria, and Catherine, and
also by Prince George of Mecklenburg-Strelitz and
Prince Peter of Oldenburg. _

The Journal de St. Perersbourg adds that th•
Imperial travellers were received everywhere with
acclamations of delight by the people. Moscow
was brilliantly illuminated.

THE FAILURE AT THE .12EDAN.

An old soldier remarks that the failure of the English
British people to the following startling facts :
That the military engineering department is deficient
in skill and practical knowledge. That the mismanage-
ment of the army by the governing powers is fearful to
contemplate. That thousands of veterans are first
slaughtered by the criminal incapacity and negligence
of the Government ; and raw recruits are called upon
to attack a strongly fortified position, defended by pro-
perly trained troops, and under disadvantages arising
from engineering deficiencies sufficient to defeat the
best-conaucted operations. That the English Staff, as
at present constituted, are absolutely destructive. That
there is a deficiency of regimental officers with their re-
giments ; and that, whilst the conduct of those officers
who have stuck to their men and done their duty is highly
meritorious, there is a large class of men in the British
army, holding commissions, who have deserted their
regiments, and shirked the perils of the service in the
field, in a way which requires immediate correction,
both for the credit of the service, and as a fair compli-
ment to their more honourable compeers.
What has poor England done that she should be
humbled in the eyes of the world ?
She has delivered herself up, bound hand and foot, to
a helpless aristocracy, and has not the courage to break
her bonds !

STATE OF TRADE. •

MAYCLEESTER, Jan. 12.—The favourable effect pro-
duced on our market by the political announcement,
which so much surprised us in the beginning of the week,
has suffered diminution from day to day, as it became
more and more evident that no result in accordance with
the righteous objects of the allies was likely to be at-
tained through the proposed negotiations, whose real
purpose would seem to be a further bamboozlement of
Austria. As this purpose was suspected from the first,
our market was only so far influenced as to show
a little increase of business in yarns, with a slight
stiffening in the prices of some kinds, while in goods
the existing dullness remained undisturbed, except
by isolated sales on the lowest terms previously
submitted to. We are closing the week without any
improvement in any descriptions of cloth ; indeed,
those articles which have been so freely taken by the
Greeks are quieter than they were. The week's trans-
actions in yarns have been but moderate in their aggre-
gate amount, generally at the previous quotations,
only very partially at an advance of per lb., and
this less easily obtainable now than on Tuesday last.
We regret to hear of the failure of a large general
mercantile house at Ancona.

The American advices state the New York cotton
market as very irregular in the week ending the 26th
ult. ; but about that date the decline in prices was •
arrested. The latest accounts from the south report
cotton as steady.

There was a moderato supply of foreign stock here to-
day, but its quality was inferior. From our own grazing
districts the arrivals of beasts fresh up this morning were
seasonably good both as to number and quality. Although
the weather was favourable for slaughtering, the beef trade
was in a very sluggish state, at barely tie decline in the
quotations reported on Monday last. The highest figure
for Scots was 4s 8d per 81bs.

The arrivals of beasts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and
Cambridgeshire amounted to 2,000 Scots and short-horns ;
from other parts of England 600 of various breeds; and
from Scotland, chiefly per railway, 450 horned sand polled
Scots.

There was rather a large supply of sheep in the market,
and most breeds came to hand in full average condition.
The mutton trade ruled very inactive, yet we have no
actual decline to notice in prices. The best old Downs
realised 5s per 81bs.

The show of calves being very limited the veal trade was
brisk, and prices were on the advance. A very inferior
calf would have produced 5s to 6s per &lbs.
There was a moderate inquiry for pigs, at last week's
quotations.

Tho arrivals of stock from Ireland last week, direct by

THE COMMON LAW PROCEDURE

ACT. 1854.

It is confidently anticipated that the alteration
effected in the administration of the common law by the
Common Law Procedure Act of 1854 will cause a very
great accession of business in the superior courts. The
alterations are of the utmost importance to the suitor iu
the progress of an action at law.
Before the passing of this act, where it became neces-
sary for a party to an action to obtain the contents of
any deeds er documents in anywise relating to the
matter in question, he was compelled to go through the
tedious, dilatory, and expensive process of a bill of dis-
covery in the Court of Chancery. This is now effected
in the most summary and inexpensive way. It is only
necessary to obtain the order of the court or of a judge.
The saving of time and money in this alone is very great.
The plaintiff or defendant may, during the progress
of an action, by the leave of a court or a judge, deliver
interrogatories to the opposite party, which he is com-
pelled to answer on oath.
Another very important alteration effected by this
act is, that a plaintiff may endorse on his writ of sum-
mons that he intends to claim a writ of mandamus; and
if he succeeds in his action be will be entitled to the
writ, and the defendant will be commanded to perform
the contract or duty in question, and in default will be
liable to an attachment.
Formerly if a bill of exchange or promissory note
was lost or mislaid, the party entitled to it could not
maintain an action on it in consequence of his inability
to produce it ; but now he may recover by giving the
defendant an indemnity against the claims of any other
person.
Before the passing of this act when a plaintiff brought
an action of detinue, and succeeded in it, the defendant
might deliver up the thing detained, or pay the value
but now ho must deliver up the article itself. It often
happened that the thing detained was of great iinpor•
Lance to the p'aintiff, and yet he was obliged to put
up with the loss.
Another alteration of great importance is, that if it
should be necessary, during the progress of an action,
to obtain the affidavit of any person, and he were to re-
fuse or decline to make it, a judge at chambers is em-
powered to order his attendance, and to examine him on
oath.
It often occurred that a defendant, on being sued,
was compelled to file a bill in a court of equity for relief,
as he could not plead it at common law, the defence
being of an equitable nature ; but in cases of this kind
the common law courts have under this act equitable
jurisdiction.
There are many other alterations effected by this act
of the utmost public importance. Many persons will
doubtless be induced to bring actions in the superior
courts who were deterred before.

FRANCE.

PARIS, SUNDAY EVENINCt.
Lord and Lady John Russell leave Paris at ten
o'clock to-morrow morning .for London. The
health of Lady Harriett Elliot continues in a very
precarious state. Lord Tinto and the rest of the
family will accompany her ladyship to the south of
France, as soon as she can be removed.
The Constitutionne/ says :—" We are assured
that from information received at the treasury up
to Thursday evening, the applications for the loan
exceeded a milliard of capital (a thousand millions).
That does net surprise us, when we see the anxiety
to subscribe which is manifested in the depart-
ments. At Pau, for example, at the Recette
Generale, a subscription of 000,000 f. was made for
that arrondissement alone."
The Constitutionnel states that it has received
information that the Russian army has crossed the
Danube on three different points and in consider-
able masses, and that the movement of the Rus-
sians appears to form part of an ensemble of
strategic operations.
The Constitutionnel has the `following :—" We
are enabled to confirm the intelligence that Sar-
dinia has joined the offensive and defensive alliance
of the Western Powers. If we arerightly informed,
Piedmont will place a contingent of 15,000 men at
the disposal of the Western Powers, who, in re-
turn, will provide her with the means of procuring
a loan."

The Emperor on Saturday afternoon visited the
new hospital of Sainte Eugenie, which is in course
of construction in the Faubourg Sainte Antoine.
His Majesty was received by the Prefect of the de-
partrneat and by M. Hittorff, the architect. After
ezainiAing all the weils, the Ehlperez preoeuted

the workmen with 590 f. The news of his Majesty'
visit having spread in the Faubourg, a large crowd
assembled, and it greeted him with enthusiastic ac-
clamations as he loft.

General the Marquis de Ricard, first aide-de-
camp:*of Prince Jerome Napoleon, has been pro-
moted to the rank of Grand Officer in the Legion
of Honour, and the Duke d'Abrantes, Chef d'Es-
cadron of the Staff and alscoide-de-camp of Prince
Jerome, to the rank of officer in the same order.
M. Benoit-Champy, ex-Deputy, has been elected,
member of the Legislative Body by the first cir-
cumscription of the Ain, in the room of M. de
Lormet, who has resigned ; and M. Canaple, Pre-
sident of the Tribunal of Commerce of Marseilles
by the circumscription of the Bouches-du-Rhone,
in the room of M. de Chanterac, named Councillor
of State. Both gentlemen were Government can-
didates.

The Rouen newspapers announce that the. Corn-
missairo do la Marine has received orders to send
ofl tho sailors of from 20 to 40 years of ago, who
are required to servo in the fleet.
