THE MEDITERRANEAN.

MARSEILLES, Jan. 28.—The port of the Joliette,
which a few days since was crowded with ships of
war and large English steamers, is now compara-
tively empty. All those ships have sailed for the
Crimea, laden with troops, stores, and munitions of
war. From the number of soldiers embarked
here for the East during the last three months, it
is calculated that the French force before Sebas-
topol should amount to 100,000 men. Generals
PeHasler, Rivet, and Desvilliers Bailed on Wed-
nesday.. General Pehssier landed here from
Oran on the preceding Monday. He is of the
middle size, with broad shoulders, a rather care-
worn countenance, and appears to be about GO
years of age. He is remarkably neat in his dress,
and expects his officers to imitate his example.
He has passed the greater portion of his life in
Algeria, and has earned there a reputation of ex-
traordinary energy. His friends say that his ap-
pointment to a command in the army in the Crimea
was communicated to him by the Minister of
War in the most flattering terms. He was told I
that the a j:„,inand, offered, to hiln ill not equal to

THE HORSE GUARDS.

We do not speak without book when we say, that a
motion will be made before long in the House of Com-
mons for an inquiry into the way in which matters are
managed at the Herse Guards. We are sufficiently con-
versant with tho state of affairs in that department of the
public service to be able to assure our readers that some
very extraordinary disclosures will be the result of the
contemplated inquiry, should the committee which will
be appointed be one which will not shrink from the
performance of their duty. It will be proved beyonl
all controversy that Lord Hardinge, the Commander-
in-Chief, is a mere puppet, moved by others, without
having even the semblance of a will or a way of his
own.—Morning Advertiser.

THE LOAD CHANCELLORSHIP.

It may be stated as a fact beyond dispute, that in the
event of Lord Palmerston being appointed to the office
of Premier, Sir Richard Bethell, M.P., will be raised to
the Lord Chancellorship. This promotion, should it
occur, will occasion a vacancy in the representation of
Aylesbury.—Morning Advertiser.

The resignation of Lord J.hn Russell has createi a
painful impression in Vienna.
A large body of artillery and engineers passed through
Paris yesterday en their way to Marseilles, where they
will embark for the Crimea.
It is rumoured in Berlin that an intention exists of
mobilizing one or more corps in Silesia, on distinct
Prussian grounds and Prussia's quality as a great Euro-
pean Power. What benefit is to arise therefrom to self-
dignity or special policy is not apparent.
Pawn op GOLD.— The quotation of gold at Paris is
about at par (according to the last tariff), which, at the
English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for stand•
and gold, gives an exchange of 25.17 ; and, the exchange
at Paris on London at short being 25.07i4, it follows that
gold is about 0.28 per cent. dearer in Paris than in Lon-
don. By advises from Hamburg the price of gold is 423
per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3i 17s.
100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of
13.38 ; and, the exchange at Hamburg on London at
short being 13.4, it follows that gold is o'o6 per cent.
dearer in London than in Hamburg.

LORD RAGLAN AND JILS ANCESTR,Y.

Lord Raglan is a descendant of the proud Somersets,
himself one of the most quiet and modest of the true
working men of England. A. prouder lineage few men
could be conscious of than the Somersets and Seymours,
who were of the same. stock ; and a prouder roan was
never seen in England than the Duke of Somerset of
two centuries ago, who had the highways cleared before
him, that he might not be looked upon by vulgar eyes,
and who rebuked his second wife for tapping his shoulder
with her fan, saying, "Madam, my first wife was a
Percy, and she never took such a liberty." We may go
back at once to Cardillo:. Beaufort, who was of the first
generation of the family apart from royalty, being the na-
tural son of John of Gaunt. There is a better ground of
pride in the family than even antiquity. Among the proud
Somersets was he who, in early life, commanded a little
army, raised by his father for the service of Charles 1.,
and who, in after years, invented the steam-engine. He
was the author of the " Century of Inventions," who
first applied the condensation of steam to a practical
purpose, though his invention was used for raising water.
He was the last noble who held out in his castle against
Cromwell ; and the stronghold was the Raglan Castle
which gave his title to the Field-Marshal who commands
our army in the Crimea.—lpswich Express.

PROGRERS OF CITILIZATIOY IV

wrapped in one of our exchanges published in Calaveras
county, California : _

A. grand bull-fight, and a fight between a bear and a

they will give entire satisfaction. The performance will
commence with a fight between two bulls ; next, a
woman will be introduced, who will fight with and kill
one of the wildest bulls that can be obtained from the
Posada Ranch. The whole to conclude with a fight be-
tween a bear and a jackass. Doors open at 12, and
performance to commence at 2 o'clock, p.m. Tickets,

Cheerful signs of progression these! Women's rights,
it seeme, are acknowledged in California, forth 3 "woman"
above alluded to must have been net only strong
naindc,i,
but strong handed.

THE 100 T OF THE EVIL.

The people, we ire glad to perceive, are at length be-
ginning to comprehend the secret causes of all that is
wrong both iY the Cabinet and the Army—in Downing.
street and the Crimea. They will understand it better
before long. It h right the country should know, as
we remarked the other day, by what, er whose instru-
mentality, a person so notoriously imbecile as Lord Aber-
deen was ever appointed to the Premiership, and by
;chat, or whose instrumentality, he was kept in office in
defiance of the universally expressed desire of the country
to have him removed. When these questions are
answered, we can be at no loss to comprehend the
secret of the Duko of Newcastle in being continued
Minister at War, not only in utter disregard of the
earnest remcnstrances of Lord John Russell, and the
welt-known opinions of the rest of the Cabinet, but in
downright and daring defiance of the strongly-expressed
feelings of the nation. And so with regard to the horse
Guards, the army generally, and the state of matters in
the Crimea. It will, by-and-by, be seen what is the root
of the evil, or rather of the innumerable evils, of which
the country has for months past been complaining in
such dolorous accents.—Morning Advertise;.

PIEDMONT.

"This morning," says the Genoa Mercantile
Corriere, of the 26th, "the first column of the
French troops, now marching through Piedmont,
entered our city by the Pila Gate. It consisted of
the first squadron of the 11th Regiment of Dra-
goons. The Ist Regiment of the Guards was drawn
up on the left, close to the gate, along the street
leading to the gate of the Arco. An immense
crowd assembled on the passage of the French, who
entered the Pila Gate on foot, holding their horses
by the bridle. They, however, mounted them
again on reaching the gate of the Arco, and took
off their cloaks. The French colonel had on his
right the general commanding the 'brigade of the
Guards, and on his loft General Alexander della
Marmora, followed by a numerous staff. The
French were quartered in the great Provision
Magazine."
London, England, 1855-01-31

THE MINISTRY.

Lord PALMERSTO said—Sir, I rise to propose
to the house that in the present state et public affairs,
to which I need not more particularly advert, and con-
sidering that the House of Lords was adjourned until
Thursday, the consequence of which is, that no statement
can be made in the house by the' Government until that
day—that this house shall adjourns until Thursday next.
I should hope if there is any other business, which I
believe there is not, hon, members will have the kind.
ness to postpone anything that may lead to discussion
until that day. I now move that the horse at its rising
adjourn until Thursday next.

The noble lord having resumed his seat, again rose
and said—Sir, I had forgotten to state that my right
hon. friend the Secretary of State for the Colonies is
anxious to have permission to bring in a bill of pressing
importance. It is a bill to carry into effect a treaty lately
entered into between her Majesty's Government and the
United States of America. It is of great importance,
with a view to colonial arrangements, that no time
should be lost in bringing that bill in, and I trust when
it is brought in the house will pass it as quickly as pos.
Bible. My right hon. friend will ask permission to bring
it in to-night, and he will give notice of the second
reading on Thursday next. (Hear, hear.)
The motion for adjournment was then put and car-
ried.
THE " GREAT" KENNEDY CASE.

Sir J. SHELLEY postponed his motion for a select
committee to inquire into and consider the grounds and
justification of the removal of the Right Hon. Thomas
_Francis Kennedy from the Office of Woods, Forests, and
Land Revenues of the Crown, until Tuesday, the 13th
February next.
PROMOTION IN THE ARMY.

Major REID gave notice that on the 13th February
he should move the appointment of a select committee
to inquire into the present mode of purchasing promo-
tions in the army, and to report on the expediency of
extending the system and granting promotion for merit
and long service. (Cheers.)

Jan. 27.—The remains of klerjeant-Major Harvey, of the
Essex Yeomanry Cavalry, and formerly a sorjeant in the
15th Hussars, were interred this day in lipping church•
yard, with military honours, by the commanding dim
and a very full attendance of his late comrades, who
were anxious to pay this last mark of respect ;co the
memory of the good veteran. Serjeant Harvey was
one of the first members who joined the Essex Yeomanry
Cavalry when it was raised, in 1830, at Ilhe especial
request of the late Lord Melbourne, at that time Seers•
tary of State for the Home Department ; and wben
it was reduced, or attempted to be reduced, by his
successor in office, Lord John Russell, in 1838, in
consequence of the suggestions of• the late Sir
Robert Peel, Lord Hardinge (at that time oat of office),
and the principal Ordnance officers at Waltham Abbey,
the members of the corps were induced to offer their gre.
tuitous services to her Majesty and .the country. Ser.

MEDICAL DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY.
Mr. LAYARD gave notice that on Monday he should
ask the Under Secretary at War whether an order had
been issued to the medical officers serving in the Crimea
not to answer any questions put to them, so that they
might be unable to answer the questions of the commis-
sioner sent out to inquire into the conduct of the Medical
Department. He should also ask whether Dr. Lawson
had been appointed to an office in the hospital at Scu-
tari, Smyrna, or Rhodes ; and, if so, by whose authority
had he been appointed ?

Colonel SMYTH wished to ask the Under-Secretary
of State for War, whether any arrangement has been
male to send either to Scutari or t) the camp in the
Crimea those surgeons of militia regiments who have
volunteered their services in accordance with a circular
addressed to them from the War-office ; or, whether any
arrangements have been made to send out the civil
practitioners who have offered their services.
Mr. PEEL said a circular was sent from the War
office to the surgeons of militia regiments, requesting to
know whether they would proceed to the East. It had
net been out more than a week os ten days, and he was
informed no offer had yet been made i❑ answer to that
circular ; but the head of the medical department had
been directed to engage the services of ten civil practi-
tioners.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Mining Journal of this day.)
MENEs. —There is no material alteration to notice in
the state of the Share Market. It ie almoob impos.ible
that it can be duller, but then this state of things is not
confined to mining, for al•nost every description of pro-
perty feels the influence of the times, whilst the almost
daily failures add to the general uneasiness.
Things will not be improved, either, if, as we under-
stand, there will be no loan for the present exigencies
of the State, but thht the new Chancellor of the Exche-
quer will carry out the well-known plans of the late, and
with his assistance and advice.

The favourable change in the weather has put the
miners again on the qui rive, and ores are being dressed for
market as fast as possible, although the stoppage of nearly
six weeks will make a serious difference in the balance-
sheets of many mines which were about meeting their
costs in ordinary times.
In Wales, most of the mines are again in operation,
and the small quantity of ores sold of late will have been
of good service, if it induces the smelters to give a fairer
price for lead; if they will not, it will te useless for
many of the mines to go on ; a fall of 5/. per ton is a
very serious item, oven upon 20 tons per month.

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin of the 27th ult., says :
" Mr. Hammond, who is to assist Lord John
Russell in the conferences of Vienna, arrived here
yesterday, and was presented. by the English Am-
bassador, Lord Bloomfield, to the President of the
Council, with whom he had a long conference
The Council of Ministers assembled to-day unde
the Presidency of the King, when a discussion, i
LI said, took place on the means of overcoming thte
obstacles which still lie in the way of the definitive
conclusion of the treaty between Prussia and the
Western Powers. One of the great questions is to
know whether Austria persists, as has been stated,
in her resolution to make .a fresh proposition to the
Diet for the mobilisation of the German contin-
gents, but it is positively affirmed that,, in answer
to an amlicatipixott.n(Ja :net canhie

it had no intention of making any cuange in the
present state of things.. Mr. n.irnmond has had a
m
fresh conference with the President of ti
Council
to-day, in presence of Lord Bloomfield. On Lord
John Russell's arrival to-morrow, it is thought
that the negotiations which were opened in London
by M. de esedom will be brought to a definitive
conclusion. In addition to the official note, in
which Baron de Budberg made known to our Ca-
binet the arming of the Russian militia, and in
which he reprelents that measure as a purely de•
fensive one, he has also given in the name of his
Government the most satisfactory assurances of
pacific intentions, on the part of the Russian Go-
vernment, and that a proof of that feeling would
soon bo seen at the conferences of Vienna."
London, England, 1855-03-03

I3REECII-LOADING ARMS.

Mr. MAGUIR.E asked the Under Secretary at War
whether any step, and, if any, what steps had been
taken by the War Department to improve the arma-
ment of the cavalry, artillery, or other troops, by pro.
viding them with a breech-loading arm?

PEEL said sertral were under the consideration
of the Ordnance, and they were being tested by a com-
mittee of artillery officers.

ARMY IN THE CRIMEA.

Mr. T. DUNCOMBE a4teil the Under-Secret ry
for War, whether tiler,: is any objection to lay upon the
table copies of any letters or despatches that have passed
between Lord Raglan and the Minister for War rela-
tive to the wants of the army in the Crimea ?
Mr. PEEL said there would be no objection to pro-
duce the correspondence.
Colonel GREVILLE wished to ask the Under Secre-
tary for War, whether the salaries of the Chaplains at-
tending the army in the East were fixed during the past
year by a War-Office regulation at 103. for the Church
of England, 7s. 6d. for the Presbyt,rian, and ss. for the
Roman Catholic, for the performance of their respective
duties ; and, if so, whether it is the intention of the Go-
vernment to m:ike any alteration with a view of placing
the clergy of each denomination on a footing of equality
while engaged in this arduous service ?
'Mr. PEEL said the pay of the first was 16s. a day in
addition to allowances and ration. The Roman Catho-
lics were paid at the rate of 1501. a year in addition to
allowances and rations.

PENSIONS IN THE MILITIA.
Colonel Nolan asked the Under Secretary for War
whether those serjeant-s of regiments of militia who are
now pensioners from the army, and who Lave volunteered
for foreign service, will be allowed to count their service
towards increase of pension?
Mr. PEEL said those s.erjeants receive I le. 6d. a day
in addition to their pension while they served in the
militia, and if they enlisted in the militia twenty years
they would be entitled to a further pension. Those who
volunteered for foreign service received a bounty of 31.,
and their service in the Mediterranean would not be
allowed to count in the manner suggested by the
gallant officer.

LANDLORD AND TENANT BILL.
Mr. NAPIER asked the First Lord of the Treasury
whether the sancti,n or support of the Government in
both Houses of Parliament is intended to be given to so
much of the bill recently introduced by the honourable
and learned member for Kilkenny, as consists of the bill
of last session, which was rejected by the House of
Lords, and which is contained in the first seventeen
clauses of the present bill
Lord PALMERSrON said the intentions of the Go-
vernment would be stated on the second reading of the
bill.

DEATH OF THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA.

Mr. F. FRENCH—Sir,—There is a rumour in cir-
culation that the Government have received intelligence
respecting the death of the Emperor of Russia. May I
ask if the Government have received such intelligence
Lord PALMERSTON said—The Government have
received two telegraphic messages—one through Berlin,
