MILITARY.

The 341 Dragoon Guards are to remain in Ireland this; year.
Last Tuesday 61 horses and 2a men of the Royal' Horse
Artillery arrived from Dublin for embarkation at Cork for
the Crimea on board the Himalaya. The following &aught'
had also arrived :-1 officer and 74 rank and file of the 54th;
1 officer, and 67 rank and file of the 66th for Gibraltar ; 5
officers and 130 privates of the 33d from Fermoy ; 6 officers
and 130 privates of the 90th front Mullingar. The 16th
Lancers contribute 100 horses for the Crimea, and to embark
on board the Himalaya.
The four old contractors in Birmingham for military small
arms supplied 10,000 Mini 6 rifles to the Board of Ordnance
from December 1 last year to the 17th of the present'Month.
These numbers are independent of the supplies rendered by
the new contractors during the same period.
The Mayor of Newcastle-on-Tyne has convened a public
meeting, to be held in the Guildhall on Thursday, to confider
the present system of purchasing commissions in the army—a
system which the requisitionists deem to be " injnriens to the
service, paralysing in its effects, and unjust to the private
soldier."

THE BE.RIVAL COLLECTION.

We congratulate all lovers of art and antiquity upon
the opportunity, in prospect, of enriching their cabinets
from the dispersion of one of the most extensive and cele-
brated collections in the kingdom—that of the late
distinguished antiquary and virtuoso, Ralph Bernal,
Esq.

The works of art, which may be flowed by pasoli"S
of a catalogue, on the three first days of March, at the
mansion, No. 93, Eaton-square comprise the choicest
il:ustrations of their kind from the Byzantine period to
that of Louis Seize, and afford some rare delineations of
classic beauty.
The sale, including a fine collection of armour and tbs.
decorative furniture, is expected to occupy Messrs.
Christie and Manson for 32 days, commencing on the
sth March. The first week will be devoted to the un-
rmivilaiilalotdurveas ; rie.tthyeonf
Ipvoirefolaliinow the mediaeval jewellery,; the next to portraits and
ecclesiastical plate and metal work, enamels, carvings is
ivory, &c., &c.
Some days will be given to arms, armour, ancient
glass, and general antiquities. A. service of silver and
silver-gilt plate, and n, curious collection of watches,
clocks, sad compasses will precede the sale of the
decorative furniture, which will occupy the last two days
of the series. With tEese treasures of old time will be
found many rare and exquisite specimens of modern taste
and refinement ; and, to use the words o fan accomplished
friend of the late retspected owner, •" it would be an
honour to any
anticirtary to have his name associated"
' with their possession.

THE ART-UNION OF GLASGOW.

Amongst the numerous institutions of this nature
which have of late years sprung up in different parts of
the country, and which have been po beneficial and rue-
ful in promoting a refined and cultivated taste for the
fine arts amongst the community at large, few have been
more successful than the Art-Union of Glasgow. The
rapid prosperity which has attended it since its estab-
lishment, as evidenced by the present large number of its
subscribers, is one of the best proofs which can be ad-
diced of the energy and ability with which its manage-
ment has been conducted, and this gratifying result is,
doubtless, in no small degree attributable to the high
class of works which the committee have selected for dis-
tribution to its members from year to year. We have before
us a specimen of the engraving, to a copy of which every
subicriber of one guinea for the current year will be en-
titled, and we have much pleasure in drawing attention
to it, 113 a tangible corroboration of the justice of the
frregoing remark. The work is after the celebrated
painting by W. P. Frith, R.A., "Corning of Age in the
Olden Time," and is from the burin of F. Hon, which is
of itself a sufficient guarantee of its excellence. Besides
being of the best quality of line engraving, the print is,
we believe, one of the largest and most valuable ever
issued by any art-union. In addition to this, subscribers
have for every guinea they have placed on the list a
chance of obtaining at the annual meetint, in Juiy a
painting, statuette, a fae-sinule chromo-lithographic
copy after J. Gilberl, or some other work of art. These
are very tempting inducements to become connected with
the society, and for the assistance of such as may feel
disposed to enrol their names as members, wo may state
that subscriptions will be received by the hon. secreta-
ries in London, Mr. John Watkins, 34, Parliament.

THE WEATHER IN EDINBURGIL—The frost continues,
and with increased severity. On Sunday morning the
thermometer was in town at 15 degrees Fahrenheit, in
the Horticultural Gardens 5 degrees, at Beachwood 44
decrees, and at Craigiehall only 1 degree above zero.

THE BALTIC.

KIEL, Feb. IG.—ln a former despatch I men-
tioned that they are now preparing large quantities
of provisions at Hamburg for delivery to the Eng-
lish Government, in consequence of agreements
entered into for that purpose some time ago. I am
now informed that similar arrangements are in
progress at Dantzic, where large contracts for pork
have been made. In this case it is likewise to be
hoped that the Government will so manage as to
have the provisions, after a sufficient inspection,
delivered to the navy at that port, so that the delay
as well as the expense of transport to and from
England may be avoided.
It is further mentioned from Dantzic, that what
I had anticipated as probable as to the bringing to
that and other Prussian or neutral ports the pro-
duce of Russia, which would otherwise have been
sent to the Imperial ports of the Black Sea, is
likely to be realised sooner than I expected. Offers
are already made to sell them on contract a consi-
rquantity of wheat of that kind which has
e t bi
hithertobeen well known in the markets of the
Mediterranean
erranean and of Europe generally as "Polish
Odessa ;" and although for obvious reasons it may
not now be so designated, there can be no doubt,
from samples and otherwise, that the origin and
quantity is the same. If the supplies from this
source are to be confined to that article, neither
England nor France might perhaps object to their
finding their way to their ports, even although the
proceeds might go to replenish the treasury
of the enemy ; but if grain can so easily get
its destination altered, in consequence of the
blockade of the Black Sea ports, there can
be no doubt that other articles which they
may not be disposed to regard with equal in-
dulgence may have their route as conveniently
changed. Prussia has recently given evidence of
her power to prohibit the exportation of articles
from her dominions which have passed in transitu,
through her territory. Shipments of Russian
copper, intended for England, have been stopped
as being " contraband of war."
I am told that inducements are held out by those
interested in the recently opened railway from
Flensburg to Tonning (which was constructed by
Messrs. Peto and Co., to whom it has been leased)
to have recourse to that conveyance for goods from
the Baltic to the North Sea, and which, if successful,
may tend to increase the revenue hitherto enjoyed
by Denmark from that source, and thus render
negotiations more certain.
There has been another heavy fall of snow, and
two mails are duo from England.

NEWSPAPER STAMP DUTIES.

The house then went into committee on the proposal
of the Government with resiteet to the alteration of the
stamp duties on newspapers, and the following resolutions
were agreed to

Thai-it is expedient is) repeal the exeraption of newspapers
from postage duty, and to charge on newspapers and
printed books and papers transmitted by post rates of
postage not exceeding one penny for every four ounces in
weight, and for any fractional part of four ounces. That
it is expedient to alter and amend the laws relating to the
stamp duties on newspapers, the printing and publishing
of newspapers, and registration and giving securities in
connection therewith, and the regulation of duties of post-
age on printed papers.

wonderful Remedies for the Cure of Bad Legs.—Mr.

valuable ointment and pills. One in particular he men-
tions as mobt extraordinary, that of a stonemason,
working on the new Catholic Chapel in that town, whose
foot and ankle were one complete mass of sores, the
worst he ever beheld ; but, by the application of the
remedies for a short time, it was really astonishing to
see the rapid cure these valuable medicines perfected, as
his foot is soundly and permanently healed. Sold by

Mr. C. BERKLEY presented a similar petition from
Cheltenham, and also pfaying that the house would in-
terefere to re-establish tha nationality of Poland.
Mr. BRIGHT presented a petition from a poor wo-
man, named Charlotte Jones, at present confined in
the Glantorganskire county gaol, stating that, in
the year 1850, she was charged by a woman with
slander. She denied the charge ; but, nevertheless,
she was cited before the Consistory Court of
the diocese of Llandaff, thereby putting her to great
expense, which she was unable to pay, as she was the
mother of 14 children, and her husband was only in the
receipt of 15s. a-week. She offered to make a recanta-
tion even of words which she had never spoken, but that
was not sufficient, and she was put to an expense of be-
tween 71. and 81. Being unable to pay the money, she
had been incarcerated, and she now prayed that the juris-
diction of Ecclesiastical Courts in such cases might be
abolished, and that the house would take steps t• release
her from prison.

RAILWAY MATERIALS FOR THE CRIMEA.
The Candidate steam-ship, with an immense cargo of rail-.

Gibraltar early on the morning of the 6th inst., after a rapid
passage of six and a half days from London. She reports
having passed a steamer on the night of the 4th, supposed to
be the Durham, which left the Thames one day earlier than
the Candidate. The Pioneer (Crimean Army Fund steamer)
and the Peninsular, with Government stores, both of which
left London two days earlier than the Candidate, also arrived

DOCKYARD.
As we anticipated,- Rear-Admiral Plumridge has been
appointed superintendent of Devonport Dockyard, vice
Seymour, appointed second in command of the Baltic
fleet. The early services of Rear-Admiral Plumridge were
well known .as most active in a subordinate pasition.
As a captain he commanded the Macricienne, and as commo-
dore the Cambrian, 40, in the East Indies, where he was act-
ing commander-in-chief on two occasions ; and, by the way,
his acting captain is still a commander. At 48 hours' notice
be was on board the Leopard, 18, paddle, last year, as one
of the flag officers in the Baltic fleet ; and it is well known
that of that remarkable campaign the gallant admiral was the
most energetic, and would have done much more damage to
the enemy had Sir C. Napier given him the necessary force.

Rear-Admiral Chads, C.B , Rear-Admiral Plumridge, and
Rear-Admiral Eden had interviews with the Fast Lord yes-

BOW STREET-(THIS DAY).

THE CASE OF STRAHAN, PAUL, AND CO.
The excitement created by this case appears to in-
crease rather than diminish. This morning the ap-
proaches to the police court were densely crowded by a
highly respectable body of persons, anxious to catch a
glimpse of the prisoners, although it was understood
that the proceedings would last but a few minutes, the
remand being only a formal one, the power of the magis-
trate only enabling him to detain persons in custody fci
a week.

At five minutes past twelve the door of the court was
opened for the admission of the public, and in about
two minutes the body of the court was filled to suffoca-

The three prisoners Sir John Dean Paul, Bart., Wil-
liam Strahan, and Robert Makin Bates having been
placed at the bar,

Mr. Humphries said that, as the attendance this
morning was merely a matter of form, he should not
address any observations to the worthy magistrate fur-
ther than to ask that the prisoners be again remanded
till this day week.

Mr. Parry said he appeared there on the part of Mr.
Bates. He did not attend to make anyopposition to the
proposition for a remand, but he thought it right to state
publicly that when the proper time arrived he stould be
able to show, that whatever fault had been committed,
as far as regarded any offence against the criminal law,
he (Mr. Bates) had committed no such offence. He felt
it right to state this publicly, as the conduct of the de.
fendants had been so freely commented on by the most
influential portion of the press, even in their leading
articles.

Mr. Holt said, when the proper time arrived, be
should be prepared with a proper answer to the charge
on the part of the other two gentlemen'.

Mr. Humphries said, as this was merely a formal
proceeding, he did not think it necessary to answer the
remarks made by Mr. Parry.

Mr. Parry—For one of the best of reasons, you have
no answer to it.

Mr. Jardine asked Mr. Humphries if he would be
prepared to proceed with the case on Wednesday next ?
Mr. Humphries said he would.
The magistrate then ordered the prisoners to be re-
manded till this day week.

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin of the 23d, in the Debats,
says :—" The indications of a disarming in Ger-
many are become more and more multiplied.
In Wurtemburg, amongst other countries, mea-
sures are being prepared for it ; recently, the Pre-
sident of the Council, M. do Linden, publicly ex-
pressed the hope that numerous furloughs would
soon enable large savings to be effected. The tele-
graphic conferences are nearly terminated, and the
draft of the new treaty to be concluded on the
subject between Germany, Belgium, and France
has been in part drawn up. The principal points
already agreed to are that the number of words
in a single despatch is raised from 25 to 30, five
being allowed for the address ; and that an an-
swer not exceeding ten words, sent within twenty-
four hours, shall be charged only half price.
The representatives of Belgium and France hav-
ing demanded to communicate it td their Go-
vernments, the conferences have been sus-
pended until they can do so. The satisfactory con-
clusion of the negotiations is confidentially ex-
pected. It is reported to-day that the Russian
Government has entered into negotiations with an
American company for the construction of a rail-
way from St. Petersburg to Warsaw."
PIEDMONT.

The Piedmontese Government has received de-
spatches from the Crimea up to the 22d, from
which it appears that the cholera is on the decrease
in the Piedmontese army. From May 13th to
June Bth there had been 80 cases of cholera-; 37
had recovered and 382 had died. Up to the 22d
the Pied.unontese had taken no active part in any
encounter.

The Opinione of Turin, of the 23d, says that the
Philippine. monks of that capital have determined
to proceod judicially against the Royal decree
which cot uprises their convent among those to be
suppressed.. This example, it is said, will be fol-
lowed by other religious fraternities.
