HE ARMY DEFARTMENTS.Ministers will be pre-
pared, on the re-assembling of Parliament, to com-
mence a thorough reform in the departments connected
with the army. Th• first great reform to be proceeded
with will embrace tho abolition of the Ordnance Depart-
ment, and the complete consolidation of the business
hitherto tran-acted by them with the War Department
lately established, and now in process if a mere perfect
and analogous concentration. When the Ordnance, the
Commissariat, and the Medical, and other boards, con-
nected with military management shall be harmoniously
consolidated under a single heal, there is every hope
that they will be all improved, having each, at the sane
time, permanent departmental chiefs, selected for their
tried competency and experience. Those, and several
other improvements, will be amongst the foremost intro-
duced to Parliament immediately after the reeess.—Ob-

DAMAGING PIM/MS.—At the Liverpool Assize Court,
on Saturday, an act:on was brought against the Chester
and Holyhead Railway Company, by J. Naylor, Esq.,
'to recover the sum 0 14,5001. for damages to certain pic-
tures, which, while being conveyed across the company's
line at Oswestry, were run into by a train, destroying the
horse, van, and the property above named. The pictures
bad been on view in Liverpool during the visit of the
Aritish Association, and were highly prized. After the
case had been called on, the respective parties effected
a compromise, the company paying the plaintiff 2,5001.
and costs.
DARNING A SOVEREIGN.--A few days ago, as three
women were employed in cutting broom in the wood of
l'Huisserie, near Laval (Mayeune), the attention of one
of them was roused by hearing a plaintive cry proceed-
ing from some thick brushwood near. On proceeding to
the spot, she saw five young wolf cubs only a few days
old, lying in a. sort, of a lair, and crying for their dam,
which had probably gone in search of food. The woman,
without thinking of the danger she would incur if she
happened to meet the darn, and actuated by the wish of
obtaining the premium of sf. each given for the destruc-
tion of those animals, put the cubs in her apron, and car-
ried them off to the mairie at Laval, where she duly re-
ceived the reward to which she was entitled.—Galignani.

rooms. We passed through the first room, from which
everything had been taken to get bread. We went into
the second room, and found that also stripped. There re-
iwfeheannahenhianse
mained only two chairs,
been left simply becausethey were worthless. They had lost
their seats, but one or two sucks laid across the frame•
chd
work made it possible to Use them. In one such chair the
that were not chairs, and had
wife sat with a baby-oh her lap, her own arms bare,
Her gown had gone for bread, her chemise, and the last
things sold were her shoes. 'There was a rag that
covered a small portion •of the baby (two mouths old),
the rest or its body the mother did her best to cover
with what little dressing decency forced her to rett.in
about herself. Eight other el,ildren etoWded round scone
dying embers.. Theft distress wtt the more pitiful to
see; libeAtlse the woman had refinement in her features,
was gentleand uncomplaining in her speech, and the con-
dition of the children showed what they had received from
her careful nurture. • They were all young, all bearing their
privations with the beautiful simplicity that belongs only
to children. A little boy with a round head and flaxen
locks planted himself before one of us, and fixed his won-
, dering blue eyes upon the stranger's face—unconscious of
the sorrows of his home—not stirring foot or chang-
ing for an instant the direction of hi! gaze until the
marvel had departed. I think these children were not
very conscious of privation. It was impossible to look
from their well-rounded forms to the thin face of the
mother without feeling that for them all sacrifice was
made. I did not see the husband, but was told that he
was true and earnest like his wife. The bed here was a
small heap of the ends of rushes in a corner of the room.
"How do you manage of a night l"—" Those rush ends
make a very soft bed. They were in a piece of ticking,
but we had to sell the tick. The children sleep there.
My husband and I sit up on the chairs."
, , Surely, there
are many beds of down less envianie than those two
chairs, upon which sitting roust have been a sort of tor-
, ture to the body. In the clash room penetrated by the
bitter frost husband and wife, _thinly clad, eat nightly
side by side that they might leave the little nest of rushes
to their children.—.Diclone flouselto‘d Words.

OFFICIAL ACCOUNT OF THE
NEGOTIATIONS.

PARIS, MONDAY.

The Moniteur contains the promised article
descriptive of the negotiations at Vienna.

It states that there was much hesitation in the
councils of the Allies before they felt it right to
accede to the ref-pest of Austria to treat once
more upon the bases of the four guarantees, be-
lieving that the victories of Alma and Inkerman
had given them the right to insist upon extended
demands.

The Third Point, as now defined, calls upon
Russia to limit her naval forces, or to render the
Black Sea neutral. Nothing will divert the Allies

from this object. They know that at the time
of need Austria will resolutely combat with them.

A telegraphic despatch dated Vienna, Saturday,
announces, on the authority of the Vienna Presse,
that Prince Galitzia had brought instructions
from St. Petersburg for Prince Gortschakoff,
which were unfavourable as regards the uncon-
ditional acceptance of the third point by Russia.
A Berlin despatch states that the instructions
which have been communicated there seem little
calculated to promote a pacific solution of the
difficulties.

According to another despatch from Vienna
the conference will probably meet on Monday.

We have received the following telegraphic de-
spatch from Berlin :
