THE FOREIGN LEGION.

HELIGOLAND, May B.—For the present the Gar-
man Brigade of the Foreign Legion will consist of
5,000 men, who will be commanded by Colonel
von S tutterheim, a nobleman of Brunswick, and
an officer of proved courage, talents, and experience.
A letter from Hamburg, dated May 9, in the
Patrie, professing to speak on good authority, says
the island of Heligoland has been definitively
chosen. by the English Government as a recruiting
depot for the Foreign Legion. Several English
officera, among whom is a paymster, have arrived
there. Recruiting was expected to begin on May
15. Great advantages are offered to recruits—a
bounty of 61., a good pension to invalids, and the
same rights and privileges as the English soldier.
At the expiration of their term of service the men
who may desire it will be transported gratuitously
either to their own country or to America, and
will receive a gratuity of a year's pay.

CONTINUED ERUPTION OP VESUVIUS.

A letter from Naples, dated May 5, says :
" Viewed from a distance, the fiery mountain presents
somewhat the same appearance as on the occasion of
former eruptions—that is, volumes of smoke ever vary-
ing in form and tint, issue from the mountain, and
darken the bright sky above. Occasionally huge red-hot
stones are thrown up, and at night a red glare tints the
huge volume of smoke, producing a grand effect. Bat
on the present occasion the lava streams from the ex-
hausted and hitherto long-tranquil Somma, which is the
detached portion, almost co-equal in height with the cir-
cular old cone, from whence all the modern eruptions
have issued.

" The King and the Royal Family have visit©d the
eruption, and hundreds of persons ascend the mountain
night and day. There appear to be two or three streams
of lava slowly creeping on from apertures which vomit
fire and smoke continually—ever changing in aspect,
according to the violence of the subterraneous action.
But it is the capricious forms which the smoke assumes
that most amuses the spectator, whilst lighted up by the
reflected red of the fire.
" The eruption will, in all probability, last some days,
until, as on former occasions, the accumulated volcanic
action of the mountain has exhausted itself."

The Emperor Alexander is about to visit Warsaw
with Count Nesselrode.
The policy of the German Courts is rapidly drifting
into open hostility with the Western Powers.
It is estimated that the Russian losses during the
winter were not less than 100,000, who perished from
cold, starvation, and over-marching.
The French papers continue to record the embarka-
tion of troops, both at Toulon and Marseilles. The
Great Britain has sailed with 900 men for the Crimea.
The lnvalide Russe says that, from the commence-
ment of the war in the Crtmea up to to the let of illarch,
the number of wounded alone amounts to 15,123, with-
out reference to the killed.

The trade of the port of London during the past week
b as shown increased activity owing to numerous arrivalp,
consequent on the change of wind. The total number of
ships reported inward was 259, being an increase of 51
over the previous week. Among these are several from
China, and also a large number laden with colonial
sugar. The departures hare continued to diminish for
some time, and the total cleared outward in the week
just ended was 117, showing 14 less than in the previous
week.

The departures from the port of London for the Au,-
tralian colonies during the past week comprised four
vessels- -three to Portland Bay, with an aggregate bur-
den of 2,722 tons ; and one to Sydney, of 622 tons.
Their total capacity was 3,344 tons. The rates of freight
exhibit little alteration.

SWEDEN.

- -- • -
STOCKHOLM, May s.—lt is now more than a fort-
night ago that the British and French envoys at
this court received orders from their respective go-
vernments to present to King Oscar a communica-
tion urging him to sign a treaty of offensive and
defensive alliance with the Western Powers, under
very favourable conditions, for they not only are
willing to guarantee him the possession of his pre-
sent territorial possessions, but offer him a hand-
some annual subsidy for the co-operation of his
army and navy. The Swedish cabinet, of course,
made a difficulty of assenting to the proposals, and
urged Sweden's treaty of neutrality with Denmark,
and the necessity of waiting to see the result of the
Vienna conferences, and the part subsequently
taken by Prussia and Austria.
Similar orders were sent to the envoys at Copen-
hagen, but with similar results, and Admiral Dun-
das, during his late interview with the Danish
King, urged him also in vain. The communication
was withdrawn by mutual consent, orratherallowed
to stand over, till the results of the Vienna con-
ferences were known. That being now the case,
the proposition has again been placed in the hands
of the King.

-
We read in the Piedmontese Gazette of the
10th inst. :

"A telegraphic despatch from Balaklava, addreqsed
by General Alpheus() La Marmora to the Minister .of
War at Turin, under date the 9th of May, 10 o'clock
a.m., announces the arrival at Balaklava of the Gen eral
and his trcops, after a passage of ten days, including
two days' stoppage at Constantinople. The voyage was
performed without accident, and the sick on board were
few iu number. The steamers which arrived at B tia-
klava with the General are the Authion, Charity, Cleo-
patra, Europa, Thames, and Jura, and the sailing vessels
they had in tow."

The discussion on the Convent Suppression Bill
still continued in the Senate. On the 9th Messrs..
Mario and Doria spoke in favour of the projei3t,
and M. Pallavicino Mossi against it. Senators
Colla and Des Ambrois subsequently moved
amendments, ono of which, proposed by the latt,3r,
was supported by M. Giacinto di Collegno, a nil
finally accepted by the President of the Council of
Ministers.

The Liverpool letters yesterday morning mention the
arrival of some cargoes of flour from Chili, which ave
said to be approved.
DEATH OF MAJOR GENERAL BAUMGARDT.—This dis-
tinguished Indian officer died at Paris a few days sine t.
He saw some rough service during the days of Lak,

Affghanistan compaign. He held ,two medals and a.)

STRICTURE of the URETHRA : its Rational

By F. B. COURTENAY,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
" We believe Mr. Courtenay's experience in the treatment of stric-
ture during the last twenty years has equalled, if, indeed, it has not
surpassed, that of any of his contemporaries. It is, therefore, no
matter of sin prise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a
most dexterous and skilful manipu ator with urethral instruments ;
and when it is remembered that the lamented Liston used to assert
that the introduction of instruments through a stricture which had
previously been impermeable to them, was the most difficult in the
whole range of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of
gratification on Mr. Courtenay's part to have achieved the reputation
he has in this res,ect ; and for our part, with the knowledge we have
of his experience, we know of no man to whose care we would with
g. eater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture
of the urethra."—Medical Circular.

Lo the effect, that at the end of the present year it wu.!
he • perfectly safe to abandon pa3bing tolls.
He had himself personally gone to Ramsgate,
and. prepared a bill for abolishing passing
tolls. This was in 1853, . but it was not intro-
duced because there was a large searzhing, comprehen-
sive inquiry then in progress into the matter. Now was
the time, however, for legislation, and he should join with
his right hon. friend in opposing this unnecessary
inquiry.
Mr. G. HUDSON opposed the committee, after
which

Mr. MACKINNON withdrew his motion.
THE HARDWARE TRADE.

Mr. HADFIELD moved for a committee of the
whole house, to consider the laws for the securing the
property of manufacturers of iron, steel, cutlery, edge
tools, hardware, gold, silver and silver plated, Britannia
metal, German silver, copper and brass articles, and
other metals, mother of pearl, shell, tortoise shell, bone,
horn, ivory, leather, and wood, and also for securing the
wages of the workmen engaged in such manufactures,;
and asked for leave to bring in a bill to extend the 6th
and 7th Vic., c. 40, to the hardware trades of Wolver-
hampton, Birmingham, and Sheffield.
Mr. BOUVERIE said the provisions of the act al-
luded to by the hon. member had reference only to the
hosiery and linen trade. He saw no prima facie
grounds for objecting to its introduction; wid leave was
accordingly given, and the bill read a first time.

o'clock prociely.
His Imperial Highness Prince Napoleon will receive

their Majesties.
Exhibitors and persons possessing season tickets will

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.—A
Hawkesley, wife of the Rev. J.
rectros;
her daughter, to a
of Redruth, was on a visit, with
short. litaiwnalet e
si sincee M
It
friend in Dublin, when she was attracted to the drawing-
room by the cries of her daughter. appeared that
of
the young lady, who was about 17 years age, had been
standing in front of the fire, when her clothes became
help, ignited. The mother rushed toher
and by that
means her own clothes were enveloped in
flames, and
she suffered such severe injuries that she died shortly
after. The daughter is also much injured, and is, as
,
may be imagined, greatly shocked at the melancholy
death of her mother.
THE MOTHER OF THE LATE LIEUT. WAGHORN.—A
letter in the Times, signed " Humanitas," says
Surely it only wants to be known to be responded to,
that the mother of this distinguished and enterprising
officer (now in her 84th year) is at present in ex-
treme poverty, the little competency she had having
been advanced to her son, and lost in his great under-
taking—the overland route to India ; and, feeling per.
suaded that the merchants and traders to India, who
have been so much benefitted by this project, would
willingly contribute to her present exigencies, a sub-
scription has been opened at the Jerusalem Coffee-house,
Cornhill, where the smallest contribution will be thank-
fully received on her behalf."

lONIAN ISLES.

The lonian Parliament wa.3 opened on the Ist
inst., by the new Lord High Commissioner, Sir
John Young. His Excellency referred, in lan-
guage of congratulation, to the tranquillity prevail-
ing in the islands, notwithstanding distress conse-
quent upon the failure of the crops. Re also
announced -the intention of the British Govern-
ment to waive a portion of its rights, and allow
the payment of 5,0001. of the military contribution
to be deferred, with the view of aiding the dis-
tressed.

ITALY.
We read in the Piedmontese Gazette of the
10th inst. :
" A telegraphic despatch from Balaklava, addressed
by General Alphonso La Marmora, to the Minister of
War at Turin, under data the 9th of May, 10 o'clock
a.m., announces the arrival at Balaklava of the General
and his troops, after a passage of ten days, including
two days' stoppage at Constantinople. The voyage was
performed without accident, and the sick on board were
few in number. The steamers which arrived at Bala-
klava with the General are the Authion, Charity, Cleo-
patra, Europa, Thames, and Jura, and the sailing vessels
they had in tow."

The discussion on the Convent Suppression Bill
still continued in the Senate. On the 9th Messrs.
Mario and Doria spoke in favour of the project,
and M. Pallavicino Mossi against it. Senators
Cella and Des Ambrois subsequently moved
amendments, one of which, proposed by the latter,
was supported by M. Giacinto di Collegno, and
finally accepted by the President of the Council of
Ministers.

The Liverpool letters yesterday morning mention the
arrival of some cargoes of flour from Chili, which are
said to be approved.
DEATH OF MAJOR GENERAL BAIIMGARDT.—This dis-
tinguished Indian officer died at Paris a few days since.

GERMANY.

The Austrian Gazette and Ost. Deutsche P,),lt
concur in stating that the courts of Vienna and

THE VIENNA NEGOTIATIONS.

Mr. M. GIBSON wished to know if the noble lord at
the head of the Government intended to name any day
for discussing the papers laid on the table relative to the
Vienna negotiations 7
Mr. LA YARD said before the question was answered
he wished to suggest to the noble lord that lie should
bring forward his resolutions on Friday or Monday.
Lord PALMERSTON said the Government had
several' measures of importance in progress. There
were the remaining votes of supply, and two or three bills
of pressing urgency, and he thought it very unreason-
able that gentlemen who could give notice for any day
of their motions should expect Government to put off
their measures. He was sure his right honourable
friend (Mr. Gibson) cOuld have no difficulty in doing
so, and as for the honourable member for Aylesbury,
(Mr. Layard) he must remind him that he offered him a
day—(hear)—and an offer once refused could not be re-
newed. But at the same time the forms of the house
did give hon. members a fair opportunity of bringing
such motions forward:
Mr. DISRAELI apprehended it would be really im-
possible for the right hon. gentleman (Mr: Gibson) to
bring forward his motion for an address to her Majesty
unless the Government gave a day for that purpose.tiono_
Now he (Mr. Disraeli) begged to call the attention n i
the house to the circumstance that heba d
find any precedent, when

IMPERIAL PARLIAM ENT.

ROUSE OF LORDS--(YESTERDAY.)

The lobbies leading to the House of Lords this even-
ing presented a scene of the greatest excitement. In the
interior of the house the excitement rivalled that from
without. The space round the throne was crowded to
excess, and the galleries round the house were filled with
elegantly-dressed ladies. The gallery appropriated to
the members of the House of Commons was also crowded
with members of the other house.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.
CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY.

The LORD CRA.NCELLOR, upon an appeal being made to
him by Lord LYNDHURST, consented to postpone the re-
committal of the Cambridge University Bill from to-
morrow till that day week.
Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition from Scot-
land against the sale of intoxicating drinks.

Invalid and General Life Assurance Bill and the Lands

Prince Gorstchakoff writes as follows on the

The fire of the enemy is moderate.
The Allied fleet, which got under weigh on the

STRICTURE of the URETHRA : its Rational
Treatment and Prompt Cure.
By F. B. COURTED AY,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
" We believe Mr. Courtenay'a experience in the treatment of stric-
ture during the last twenty years has equalled, if, indeed, it has not
surpassed, that of any of his contemporaries. It is, therefore, no
matter of em prise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a
most dexterous and skilful manipu ator with urethral instruments ;
and when it is remembered that the lamented Liston used to assert
that the introduction of instruments through a stricture which had
previously been impermeable to them, was the most difficult in the
whole range of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of
gratification on Mr. Courtenay's part to have achieved the reputation
he has in this rev.ect ; and for our part, with the knowledge we have
of his experience, we know of no man to whose care we would with
greater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture
of the urethra."—Medical Circu'ar.

SWEDEN.

STOCKHOLM, May s.—lt is now more than a fort-
night ago that the British and French envoys at
this court received orders from their respective go-
vernments to present to King Oscar a communica-
tion urging him to sign a treaty of offensive and
defensive aliance with the Western Powers, under
very favourable conditions, for they not only are
willing to guarantee him the possession of his pre-
sent territorial possessions, but offer him a hand-
some annual subsidy for the co-operation of his
army and navy. The Swedish cabinet, of counse,
made a difficulty of assenting to the proposals, and.
urged Sweden's treaty of neutrality with Denmark,
and the necessity of waiting to see the result of the
Vienna conferences, and the part subsequently
taken by Prussia and Austria.

Similar orders were sent to the envoys at Copen-
hagen, but with similar results, and Admiral Du n-
d is, during his late interview with the Danish
King, urged him als© in vain. The communication
was withdrawn by mutual consent, or ratherallowed
to stand over, till the results of the Vienna con-
ferences were known. That being now the came,
the proposition has again been placed in the hands
of the King.

ATTEMPTED REVOLUTION AT SAINT

We learned by the last West Indian mail that the
English commodore had left Jamaica for
l steamer from the United States we ave re.
the mail on account of the unsettled state of things there. By
s Times, which supplies a state-
ceived the S. Thomasment of the facts—
,. A body of men, comprising about one hundred, col-
lected in a large building within the city on the night of
Sunday, the 25th ult., and were awaiting the gathering
ler wouldillin
of a like number ; their purpose was to attack the senti-
nels at the different gates, surprise the guards, whom they
of the plot
hoped to subdue, and then raise the cry of .' Viva Buena-
Ventura Baez!' which they believed, on the cit b r„
surrounded the
awakened, would have been echoed everywhery
however, seem that there was a traitor in the cep.. mp,

communicated to the commandant the secrets
and towards midnight a body of soldiery who

dae
nidtatbna issued a proclamation,
announcing to the Dominican people what had trans-
pired, and quiet and order are said to again reign
inthe
country."

During the time lost in searching the ruins one part of the
premises was in such a dangerous condition that it was feared
it would topple over and kill those engaged in endeavouring
to save life ; but Mr. Coxhead, the builder, who had been
engaged on the premises, procured a number of ropes,
and so tied it as to allay all fears of any further extension of
mischief.

Up to 9 o'clock last night it was found i•rpracticablo to
turn over the whole of the ruins on account of the great
weight of timber, iron, and millstones lying there, and it
will be impossible to tell at present with certainty whether
any other workman may not be under the ruins and crushed
to death.

The total number of sufferers taken to St. Thomas's Host
pital was 17, twelve of whom had their wounds dressed and
were able to be removed home, but the other five remain in
a very dangerous state, as does also John Regan, who is still
in Guy's Hospital.
