a complete exposure of the system of terrorism and extortion pursued

and ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who saffer from the com-

RUSSIA.

We have received the St. Petersburg journals of
the 12th inst.

A supplement of the Atonal de St. Petersbourg
publishes a circular despatch of Count Nesselrode,
dated the 28th of April last, giving the Russian
version of the Vienna Conferences. It is addressed
to Russian diplomatists abroad.
As regards the third point, the circular says,—
" It concerned not only the general balance of power,
but touched, nearly, the dignity and the honour of
Russia. It was thus that our august Master judged
it. The national sentiment of the whole nation will
respond to his decision."
We have also received the full text of the Russian
despatch of the 30th of April, addressed by Count
Nesselrode to M. de' Glinka. It is as follows :
"ST. PETERSBURG, Arian 30.
_ _

"The negotiations at Vienna have arrived at that
point when it is in the power of the Cabinets of Paris
and London to make them fail completely, despite our
firm desire for peace. I think it well to indicate to you
the situation in which the two points which especially
interest Germany would be in case of a rupture of the
Vienna Conferences.

," The first relates to the privileged regime of the
Danubian Principalities ; the second to the free naviga-
tion of the Danube. Both were discussed and examined
in the sittings'of the 15th and 23d of March, and received
a solution which obtained the assent of all the Plenipo-
tentiaries assembled in Conference. The Russian Pleni-
potentiaries took part in those deliberations in a pacific
sense, which, assuredly, was not without influence upon
the satisfactory conclusion which the Conference came te.
This is proved by protocols 2,3, 4, and 5.
"To give to the particular arrangements which those
acts imply a real value, and obligatory,force, it would be
necessary to, give them the form of a treaty. If the
Conferences are broken off, that necessary formality can-
nct be completed, and the Powers that took part in the
arrangement are not reciprocally bound.
"Nevertheless, the Imperial Government will con-
tinue to consider it a useful result that a complete ur
rgtanding has been attained'at least on those two point s
between the Powers, as proved by the protocols signed
at Vienna. Now as these two points concern the inte
rest of Germany in a manner more or less direct, we
attached a double importance to that result, and we still
attach it, insomuch as placing the interests of Germany,
entirely apart from the Eastern question, it must neces-
sarily serve to confirm the States of the German Con-
federation in the resolution of remaining strangers to
the idreggle. and of observing a strict neutrality. -
" Nevertheless, his Majesty the Emperor could not
consider the arrangements made at Vielina as regards
the affairs of the Danubian Principalities and the regu-
lation of the nay:gado!' Danube as bi6ding for Rus•ia
except as long as the Germaa Courts maintain this po-
sition 4,f Arict t,utrality,
" You are authorised to give this' assurance to the
members of the German Federal Assembly, communi-
cating them the present despatch for the information of
their cuurta.

THE IRISH SOCIETY.

Mc. M'MAHON wished to ask the Chief Secretary
for Ireland whether it was his intention to bring in a
bill this session to carry ont the recommendation of the
commissioners appointed to inquire into the state of the
Corporation of London, that the Irish Society he dis-
solved, and its charter repealed by act of Parliament,
and itA proptrty vested in a new set of trustees, to be
appointed by the Lord Chancellor of Ireland ?
Sir G. GREY could not positively state the course to
be adzpted, as it would very much depend upon the
course the house thought proper to pursue with respect
to the M,tropolilan Management Bill.

CO.STABULARY FORCE (IRELAND.)
Mr. H.. HERBERT' wished to ask the' Chief Secre-
tary to the Lord-Lieutenawt of Ireland, when the
annual S'atemebt of the amount of constabulary force
employed in each county in Ireland on the Ist day of
January, 1855, purmant to the act 6 Will. 4, c. 13, s.
57, would be presentbd to "the house. Whether the at-
tention of the Chief Secretary had been called to the
injustice inflicted on certain counties in Ire'aod by the
allocation of the constabulhry force accordbg to the
schedule of the act 11 and 12 Vic., c. 72. And, whe-
ther it was the intention of the Government to take any
steps towards a more just allocation of the force, in pro-
portion to the area and population of the several coun-
ties of Ireland ?

Mr. HORSMAN could give no positive answer upon
the question. All he could say was that the subject was
under the consideration of the Government.
CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

Captain SCOBELL was anxious to ',now from the
Secretary of State for the Colonies, whether, now that
the colony of the Cape of Good Hope vas in the enjoy-
ment of a representative constitution, it had been or was
intended to be arranged that the colonists should here-
afcer pay the cost of their own military protection.
Lord J. RUSSELL was in hopes that he should 'be
able to lay upon the table of the house on an early day-
the papers relative to the subject alluded to ley the gal-
lant captain.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The supplies of wheat on sale in most of the country
markets held on Saturday were but moderate, and the de-
mand for all kinds ruled steady, on rather higher terms
There was more doing in barley, the value of which had
an upward tendency. Other articles commanded full
quotations.
Advices from New York to the Bth instant state that
flour was 121 cents per barrel dearer, with a very limited
supply on offer. Most of the continental markets 11:.ve
continued firm for all articles.
Very moderate supplies of English grain were received
up to to our markets, coastwise and by land carriage. The
imports from abroad were 13,167 quarters of wheat, 341
barley, 24,294 oats, 1,650 beaus, 317 peas, 1,306 tares,
13,450 linseed, 12,992 rapeseed, 41 sundry seeds, 1,236
sacks and 55 brls of flour.
Fresh up to our market to-day, coastwise and by land
carriage, a very mode, ate supply of English wheat came to
hand. Notwithstanding that the show of samples of both
red and white was small, the demand for all kiuds—arising
from the limited attendance of buyers—was in a very in-
active state. However, factors were somewhat firm in
their demands, anti, in same few instances, ls.- to 2s. per
quarter more money was obtained for fine qualities. That
amount of improvement, however, was by no means gene-
rally paid.
There was a moderate show of foreign wheat, yet the
amount of business doing in all kinds was comparatively
limited. In the quotations we have no change to report,
but they were well maintained.
Floating cargoes of grain were held at prices mostly
above,the views of buyers.
The show of both English and foreign barley was small,
and the trade was active, ,at from is to 2s per quarter
above the rates current on Monday last.
The malt trade was steady, and prices were well sup-
ported.
We were fairly supplied with foreign oats, but the show
of other kinds was limited. The demand was rather in-
active, but no decline was submitted to in prices.
There was a steady, though not to say brisk, demand for
beans, at full quotations.
The. inquiry for peas was far 'from active, on former
terms.
The business doing in flour was but moderate, at last
week's currency.

POST-OFFICE NOTICES.

LETTERS FOR THE BRITISH FLEET IN THE
BALTIC via DANTZIC.
We insert the following notices, which have been just
issued by the Post-Office authorities :
"General Post-Office, May, 1855.
"Her Majesty's Government having made arrange-
ments for keeping up a weekly communication between
the British fleet in the Baltic and the pert of Ditutzic, by
means of a steam-vessel to be. detached front the fleet
for the purpose, mails will hereafter be forwarded weekly
to Dautzic for transmission by that vessel.
" The mails will be made up and despatched from
London every Tuesday evening, and will be addressed to
the care of th 4 British consul at DAntzic, who will de-
liver them to the naval officer, appointed to receive them."
Upon letters addressed to commissioned, non-com-
missioned or warrant officers, as well as upon those fot
soldiers and seamen, forwarded via Dantzic, there will
be chargeable a combined British and foreign rate of
postage of—
.. 3d. when not exceeding a quarter of an ounce.
6d. when exceeding a quarter and not exceeding half

an ounce,

THE ILLUMINATIONS.

The illuminations on Saturday evening, in celebration
of her Majesty's birthday. attracted an immense eon-
course of spectators, the principal streets in the vicinity
' of the clubhouses being crowded up to midnight.
HER MAJESTY'S MINISTERS AND OFFICERS OF STATE.
Viscount Palmerston, G.C.8., First Lord of the Trek-
vary—The noble lord's mansion was brilliantly illumi-
nated. Over the balcony was a large croa,n, a star of
the order of Brunswick, her Majesty's initials, " V.R.,"
and laurel branches, in variegated oil lamps.
The Marquis of Breadalbane, Lord Chamberlain—The '
mansion in Park-lane displayed a star with a crown, and
the royal initials in variegated lamps.
The Duke of Wellington, Master of the Horse—ln
front of Apsley House, Piccadilly, was " Long live the
Queen," in large Roman letters, emblazoned in gas, pre-
senting a fine effect. This display was dictinctly visible
from Buckingham Palace.
Viscount Canning's mansion in Grosvenor-square—A
crown, a star, and her Majesty's initials, f' V.R.," in
variegated lamps.

WHITSUNTIDE RECESS.

Mr. FREWEN wished to a4c the First Lord of the
Treasury on what day he intended to propose that the
house should adjourn for the Whitsuntide holidays, and
what day re-assemble.
Lord PALMERSTON said that what the Government
proposed was, that the house should adjourn on Friday
next to the Monday .week following, as he considered
there would be no advantage in bringing members to
town in order that the house might meet on the Friday
preceding. Perhaps, after making that statement, it
mad be as well for the convenience of the house
that he should now state the course the Govern-
ment intended to pursue when the house met after
the recess. (Hear.) The Government proposed r o pro-
ceed with the Riucation Bill on Monday, the day that
the h-u-es.t. On Thursday the Government proposed
to proceed with the Irish Landlord arid Tenants' Bill,
aid that on the Friday and ,the Monday they should
take C of supply.
After a few words from Mr S. HERBERT,
Mr. GLADSTONE said he tbouuht that. the proposals
tendered by Russia contained elements for f :Lure dis-
cussion.

JAPAN.

Mr. WARNER wished to ask the First Lori of the
Treasury whether any privileges of trade with Japan
had recently been acquired by Russia or the United
States of America ; and if so, whether her Majesty's
Governmpt had secured equal privileges fur British
subjects ?

Lord PALMERSTON, in answer to the quesCon of
the hon.,member, said that Admiral Stirling had con-
cluded in the autumn of last year a treaty with Japan.
That treaty provided that ships of this col,ntry
should be allowed to put into port in Japan
for the purpose of repair, but no commer-
cial treaty bad been entered into with that
country, except that all Cie ports that were
opened to other nations were to be free to England. He
was not aware that any special treaty had been con-
cluded between Russia and Japan, but he knew that the
treaties entered into with this country were similar with
those entered into with every country ese.3pt China and
Hol:and.

BLOCKADE IN THE BALTIC

[FROM A SUPPLEMENT TO FRIDAY'S GAZETTE.]

It ig hereby notified that the Right Honourable
the Earl of Clarendon, K.G., her Majesty's
Principal Secretary of 'State for Foreign Affairs,
has received from the Lords C,mitnissione rs of the
Admiralty an official communication from Rear-
Admiral the Honourable R. S. Dund:,s, com-
manding her Majesty's ships in the Baltic, and
acting in the name and on the behalf of her Ma-
jesty and of her Ally, his Imperial Majesty the
Emperor of the French, announcing the establish-
ment, on and from the 28th of April last, of
a strict blockade of the Russian ports and
places therein mentioned, by an effective force,; which
communication is to the following effect :
"By the Honourable Richar l Saunders Pandas,
C.B , Rear Admiral of the Blue, and Commander-
in-Chief of her Majesty's ships and vessels em-
ployed and to be employed on a particular ser-
vice.
"It is hereby notified that on the 28th of April last,'

notified that all measures authorised by the laws

Behring's'Straits, is ordered to he • paid off 'On Wednesday
next. The inquiry into the charges preferred -ag-ainst her
officers, who have been suspended from duty and. placed
under arrest for periods exceeding two years has%been, by
order of the Lords of the AOmiralty, intrusted to `'ice-Admiral
the Hon. W. Gordon. It appears that, after daily examinations
of the different officers under arrest, which only terminated
on Wednesday last, the gallant Admiral, acting the part of a
grand jury, has ignored the bills filed. The result is, that no
eourt.martial will take place on these officers. All the officers
referred to have been granted Admiral's leave of absence, and
two of them have been promoted.

THE BALTIC.

The lepenclance Beige publishes the following
letter, d: bted. Hamburg, 14th inst. :
" The French squadron, under Rear-Admiral Penaud,
which v; as seen on the 12th in the Kattegat, passed on
the 13th before Nyborg, and shortly afterwards anchored
in the p ort of Kiel. The squadron consisted of the three
screw F, ners--Tourville, 90 guns ; Austerlitz, 100 ; and
Duques: •ie, 90; and the steam corvette D'Assas, 16. The
Admiral I had hoisted his flag in the Tourville. It appears
that, alt, r reading the despatches which awaited him at
Kiel, the t Admiral announced that he would only make a
short stA y in that port, being ordered to join the British
squadroi t in the Baltic as speedily as pospible. The ships

You may form an idea of the quantity of meat required '
for the c ,re.o ,op i in of tie English crews when I tell you
that on the 9tla no less than 200 oxen were shipped at
Elsinere, in the trench .rt Mcre.ttor, for the fleet, and
this number wi 1 scarcely suffice for its consumption
during eight days. We have received accounts
from Riga of the 9th, and from Revel, of the Bth
instant. A considerable number of sailors from Lake
Ladoga had arrived at this last port, to serve as
volunteers on board the gun-boats constructed
and organised according to the system of the Grand
Duke Constantine, and which have been reinforced since
1854 by two divisions in the Gulf ~f Finland. Ne Eng-
lish ship of war had appeared before the place since

PUBLIC PROSECUTOR IN IRELAND.

Mr. WMAHON asked the Chief Secretary for Ire-
land whether his attention had been called to the trial
at the last Tyrone assizes of certain persons, belonging
to two opposing political and religious parties, for riot
and assault, and to the course pursued by the public
prosecutor on that occasion ; and whether that course
met with the approbation of the right hon. gentleman ?
Mr. HORSMAN said he understood the question to
refer to the system rather than that particular case. In
that case the proceedings were not out of the usual order.
He had communicated with the Attorney General, and
he was of opinion such a practice shouid not be con-
tinued, and should not occur again.
