RUSSIA.

La Patrie gives the following details of the mea-
sures taken by the Russian Government to keep
open the communication Letween St. Petersburg,
Cronstadt, and the principal points of Vie neigh-
bouring coast :
"The Russian Government has this year had
constructed in the Gulf of Finland between St.
Petersburg and Cronstadt a wide causeway, bor-
dered on each side at every 20 paces with fine
young firs cut in the neighbouring forests, and
fixed in the ice and snow so as to form an avenue.
Every 1,100 yards aro also fixed posts, roughly
squared and painted in the national colours, with
little flags on their tops. About every mile and
a quarter there are huts made of wood planking
where good fires are kept up for the use of travel-
lers. To light up the road at night above those
huts are powerful reflectors which project the light
a considerable distance, and a bell which in foggy
weather is rung without ceasing,to indicate the route
to such as have strayed. Half-way along the road
there is also an enormous barrack of wood planking,
which serves as an inn, and where there is tea,
coffee, brandy, bread, meat, beer, and fires—in
fact, everything necessary for warming and refresh-
ing the body. Immense stables, well furnished with
forage and corn, are attached to this estab-
lishment, where there are horses for hire to
supply the place of such as the frost may have
killed. A similar road has been established be-
tween Peterhoff, Oriebaum, and Cronstadt. The
Government has thought it necessary
,to open
these two roads at once, in order to facilitate the
the means of transport between the capital and the
gate that opens on the Neva."

SHIPBUILDING ON THE WEAR.

The annual returns of shipbuilding on the Wear have
just been made up. They show that during 1854 the
number of vessels launched was 151, with an aggregate
tonnage of 66,929, being one ship less than in 1853, and
a decrease in t mnage of 1,550. The average tonnage of
each ship was 4431 ; for 1853 it was 4501 per ship. One
third of the whole amount of tonnage launched was sold.
to London owners, the number of vessels being'4l, a de-
crease of one ship on the number sent to the Thames in
1853. One-fourth of the tonnage for 1854 was pm,
chased in Sunderland, and the remainder went to New-
castle, Shields, Liverpool, and other ports. The pros-
pects of the trade for 1855 are not quite so cheering at
present as at this time last year, when there were 96
vessels on the stocks, with an aggregate tonnage of
46,000. In the first week of this year the number of
vessels building was only 76, with a tonnage of 34,610.

SUDDEN DBATII.—An awful instance cf sudden death
took place on Tuesday evening in the vicinity of the ter-
minus of the London and North-Western Railway at
Euston-square. Mr. Ralph Carr, county magistrate of
Middlesex, shortly before 5 o'clock left his town resi-
dence, York-terrace, Regent's Park, to proceed to the
London and North-Western Railway, for the purpose of
returning to his country house at Pinner. When be
left
home he was in his usual health and spirits, being an
exceedingly hale and hearty man. On reaching h
wa oal thewa
y
down Melton street, Euston-square, on his y
station, he was observed suddenly to stagger and fall on
the pavement. The unfortunate gentleman was instantly
conveyed into a surgery near where he fell, but life had
ceased. The body was conveyed to the dead-housa of
St. Pancras workhouse, where it awaits a coroner's in-
quest.

TAE FRENCH LOAN.

The subjoined circular, relating to the French loan,
has been issued by Messrs. Baring.. Messrs. Rothschild
have given a notification of a similar kind, with the ex-
ception that the hours fixed by them are between 12
and 3;—
"liessrs. Baring Brothers and Co. beg to inform the
subscribers on their list to the French loan of 500,000,000 f.
ths.i, having received advice last evening from Paris of the
whole .loan being taken by the individual applications in
France for 500 f. routes and under, there will be no division
to make to other parties. Messrs. Baring Brothers and
Co. aro, therefore, ready to pay back the deposit of 10 per
cent. on and after to-morrow, the 18th inst., between the
hours of 11 and 3 o'clock, at their counting-house, No. 8,
Bishopsgate-street Within, on production of the receipt
given for the same.
" Jan. 17, 1855."

The fact of the whole of the sums lodged as deposits
on the English applications for the French loan being
thus immediately reimbursable is extremely opportune,
since the long continued pressure of a high rate of inte-
rest in the London market is leading to daily suspensions
on the part of firms who have become compromised in
the revulsion of the Australian trade and the distress in
the United States. Another feature connected with
this loan of a satisfactory kind, as far as concerns the
general course of money, is that, from the humble
nature of the individual subscriptions composing the
large aggregate of 20,000,000/., a certainty may be en-
tertained that hoards of metallic currency will be drawn
into active use from the French population which had
been the slow accumulation of years, and which but for
this temptation would still have remained dormant.

IMPROVEMENTS NEAR THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.
—Some alterations have just been completed in Palace-
yard, which will tend very much to the convenience of
members and others attending the Houses of Parlia-
ment, as well as those who have business to transact in
the courts of law. To a person wishing to cross, no
place presented so many difficulties as Palace-yard,
arising from the number of vehicles which were con-
stantly boing driven backwards and forwards during the
Parliaraentary session the has-nowtsiting of the courts. The
west, or exposed, side been railed in, with the
exception of two portions, one tor the entrance and the
other for the exit of Vehicles. Several dozens of lamps
have been erected in the centre and at various other
parts of the yard, so that the difficulties in the way of
the travellers progress—difficulties so well known to
those whose duties call them to the spot at night—will be
removed. On the south side of the yard a large and
substantial shed, though not very ornamental, has been
erected in rainy weather as a
.shelter for members'
horses.

31ANSION-HOUSE-(THIS DAY.)

FORGERY UPON MESSRS. GURNEY AND CO., YDS
BANKERS.—Duncan Maclean Wright, described as a
merchant, was brought up this day for final examina-
tion, upon the charge of having forged a bill of exchange
for 1571. 2s. 3d., with intent to defraud Messrs. Overend,
Gurney, and Co., the bankers.

The prisoner was brought up yesterday from
Liverpool, in custody of an officer from that town,
where he had originally been clerk to a mercantile firm,
and also an agent. In November last the prosecutors
received a letter, dated Nov. 3, Dawber-street, Liver-
pool, containing a bill for the amount named, purport-
ing to be drawn by William Andersen and Co., and
payable at Messrs. Wynn and Co., bankers, signed
John B. Moore and Co., Manchester. The writer re-
quested the bill might be discounted at a moderate
rate of interest, and was signed "Duncan Wright." The
firm consequently wrote back to that direction, enclosing
the bill, and stating that they did not do business with-
out an introduction, and received by post another letter,
with the bill which had been returned, in which the
writer, Duncan Wright, said that he had been acquainted
with and transacted business with them for above
20 years, referring to having been cashier to some
correspondent of theirs at Glasgow, but that he had
been recently abroad for some years, and mentioned
other transactions, which threw the firm off their guard,
and they discounted the bill. Upon the 17th of this
month another for the sum cf 2941. 10s. 3d. came by
post for discount, and some doubts being enter-
tained about the character of the transaction, a tele-
graphic message was forwarded to Messrs. Moore,
who at once denied the bill being theirs, and it was
then found that both bills were forgeries, upon which
the prisoner was taken in custody.
The depositions having been completed, Mr. Alder-
man Carden, who sat for the Lard Mayor, fully com-
mitted the prisoner for trial at the Central Criminal
Court.

SPAIN.

MADRID, Jan. 11.—In the sitting of the com-
mittee on the budget, M. Sevillano, the Mini-
ster of Finance, had given a most lament-
able account of the situation of the public
finances, and had declared that, if before the
end of January the Cortes should not have
discussed the budget, made all possible reduc-
tions in the expenses, and given the Cabinet the
resources for governing the country, he would re-
sign. He added that he did 'not doubt that his
successor, whoever he might be, would do the same
in a week. M. Madoz also made a speech, in which
he said that, if the Government did not do some-
thing to strengthen the principle of authority, and
to make the people understand that liberty could
not be made the pretext for universal smuggling
and the abandonment of all duties, the Progressista
and Liberal parties would be obliged to give up
their positions to reaction and dictatorship.

this day.

s
I this day-.

tired King Ltleus.er-straare, that, was tt.w first
place he saw him. He recollected a lady near the Pan-
theon. He took a purse from her pocket. Two young
men were near him when ho did so. After getting
the purse he went down Blenheim-steps, and near Cross-
street he found there was a sovereign and six shillings
in silver in the purse.

Mr. Bodkin—What did you do with the silver ?
The boy hesitated, at last he said he gave it away.
Mr. Bodkin— Who did you give it to ?
The boy again hesitated, at last said King.
Mr. Bodkin—What did you give it to him for ?
Boy—Because I was frightened.
Mr. Bodkin—Did you see King before you picked the
lady's pocket ?
Boy—Yes.

Mr. Bodkin—Was King in plain clothes ?
Boy—Yes.
Mr. Bodkin—Did you know King was a policeman ?
Boy—Yes.

The boy in answer to further questions said he saw
King after he had committed the robbery. King having
gone down Blenheim-steps he followed and put the purse
into his hand and walked away without saying anything.
He had once before done the same thing with King..
The occasion alluded to was in Rathbone-place. 11.3
gave him a shilling which he got from a lady's pocket in
Rathbene-place. Before he picked the pocket he saw
King in Oxford-street ; the purse contained five
King followed him and his two companions up Gress-
street, and said to him, "sling it ;" my companion said,
"sling what ?" King said you have got it, and then the purse
was given to him with all the money in it. King gave
his (the boy) companion three shillings and kept the purse
and the rest himself. The purse was a blue one with
steel beads on it. The division took place in a public-
house in Stephen-street, Tottenham-court-road. They
had some ate. lie got a sinning ior his share, and his
companions got the name. There is a place where
people in trouble get up raffles for their defeneo, they
are called "friends' meetings." He had seen King at
one of them. He had known King two years, and
during that time hehad often seen him in different clothes.
He knew what a stall was; it was the duty of a stall to get
in front of the person about to be robbed. He had seen
King walk in front of people, and those persons were
sometimes robbed.

Mr. Giffard asked the boy when he first spoke about
what he had told them to-day ?

The boy—About a fortnight ago, to the schoolmaster
in the prison.

Mr. Bodkin here applied for a remand.
The depositions having been signed by the several
witnesses,

The magistrate them remanded King till this day
week, at twelve o'clock.

GREAT INCREASE OF THE ARMY.

It is stated in military circles that immediately
on the re-assembling of Parliament, the strength
of all regiments serving in the Crimea, Greece, the
lonian Islands, Malta, and Gibraltar, is to be fur-
ther increased in the following manner, viz. :
Cavalry regiments to have eight troops of 100
men each, exclusive of trumpeters and farriers.
Infantry regiments to muster 1,600 men, instead
of 1,400, as previously arranged.
The Rifle Brigade, and the Ist Regiment of Foot,
will have a 3d battalion, consisting of 1,000 men
each.

A. 3d battalion is now being raised for the 60th
Rifles, which, as soon as it is organised and disci-
plined, will proceed to the seat of war.
Four more infantry regiments will proceed to
tho Crimea early in the spring, as soon as the
militia now embodied take garrison duty.
The cavalry regiments spoken of as about to be
sent to the seat of war are the 2d, 6th, and 7th
Dragoon Guards, and the 7th Hussars and 16th
Lancers.

The 15th Frussars, which have recently returned
from India, are not to be sent.

FALMOUTH, Jan. 15.—The Devon and Corn:mall Royal
Miners Artillery Militia assembled at Peddennis Castle
to-day, under the inspection of their Colonel, Sir Cole-
man Rashleigh and his staff, to be embodied. The
number of absentees was very large on the roll being
called at noon, but towards Light a number of them
arrived in town.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

The Hamburg correspondent of the Independance
Beige says that for the last few days very heavy
sums in Austiian paper have been sent by Walla-
chian merchants to their correspondents at that
place in payment of goods received. It is asserted
that in Wallachia the people in general, and par-
ticularly those connected with trade, show them-
selves very backward in accepting Austrian paper
money, the value of which is so very low. Their
refusal to accept it causes very disagreeable scenes
between the military authorities and the inhabi-
tants of the country. All this paper money will
return hence to its source in Austria, which will
not exactly contribute to raise its value.

CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY.

Last evening a public meeting of this society was held
at the Beaumont Institution, Mile-end-road ; Viscount
Ingestre in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN said that they had come there to urge
the claims of the Conservative Land Society, the direc-
tors of which, he could conscientiously say, all felt a pe-
culiar interest in the rights of the shareholders, while
he himself had oomelso miles in order to preside at their
meeting. He believed that all the gentlemen who took
shares in the society would naturally hold Conservative
principles, although, at the same time, the society was a
land society, and enabled all, whatever their political
feelings, to obtain land and a house for themselves. Ile,
however, believed that none would subscribe their names
to it unless they knew themselves to be conservatives.
(Hear.) One thing was certain, that every tendency,
whether Radical or Whig, which induced men to save
their earnings, and become landlords instead of tenants,
was to their own advant2ge. (Hear, bear.) He felt
deeply upon the question of nonservatism and .would
ask them, whatever their principles might be, whether
they would not sooner have any Government than
the present ! He considered that in supporting con-
servatism they would be attending to their own in-
terests and to those of the country. For his own
part, he would rather see men of straightforward
principles—of principles, for instance, like those of Mr.
Brielit, who advocated peace—he would rather see
Mr. Bright in power than a Government which said one
thing and meant another. After deprecating the want
of unity and energy on the part of the Conservative.,
his lordship apologised to the meeting for digression from
the subject before thorn, and concluded by expressing
his earnest belief that the Conservative Land Society
conferred advantages upon all who wished to invest
their money to their own profit.
Mr. Fowler, Dr. Worthington, and other gentlemen
afterwards addressed the meeting in support of the
society and conservatism, and also in explanation of the
mode of allotment of an estate recently purchased at
Old Ford.

AR /MANUEL TEW.

This ca.e Lord Campbell said was one of the most
:I ivolons which had ever come before that court, and he
was very glad, for the credit of the bar, that no learned
counsel was there to support the grounds of the appeal.
The case arose at the Caerrnarthenshire Sessions, when,
after the bills had been found, and the arrangement had
taken place, it was objected that the course of law should
be arrested because all the parties concerned had not
been properly sworn before the grand jury by the clerk
of the peace, this duty having been performed by th."
crier of the court. It was true the clerk of the peace
was the recognised organ of the court, but so, as they
all knew, was the crier, and also was it the•usual prac-
tice that the criers should administer the oath. The
objection was' therefore, unfounded, frivolous, and, dis- 1
creditable.
