THE MILITIA.

It has been decided to disperse the several companies
of the Royal Sussex Artillery Militia along the coast at
the following places :—Littleharapton, Eastbourne, the
redoubt. tower (situated a short distance from the latter
place), the Martello towers, and the sth company to re-
main
at the Lewes depot. Major Chester wflf have
command at Littlehampion, and Lieutenant-Colonel
Dick, R.A.., will superintend their movements at East-
bourne. Efficient officers will also be put in command
at the other posts.
The volunteers from the Worcestershire Militia
amount to 400 men, but it has been ordered that six
fall companies of 90 each, or 540 men, must volunteer,
or the regiment cannot be acceptesl. About 140 men
are, therefore, still waited, and it is expected that this
number will be obtained.

Up to the present the Carlow Rifles number 270, lesE
by a few of the men who ♦oltateered to the 72d Regi.
men t.

The enrolment of volunteers for the Leuth Rifle
Militia progresses steaciily. There are now more than
150 in barracks.

All the officers of the Royal Essex Rifles, with the
majority of the non-commissioned officers and about 300
privates, have volunteered for garrison duty abroad.

HAN OVER.

A letter from Hamburg of the 10th inst. informs
us that all the State arsenals of Hanover are ac-
tively engaged in the manufacturing of various
warlike necessaries. The soldiers have had their
furloughs recalled, and have been ordered to rejoin
their regiments immediately. The Government
has directed the purchase of 3,000 horses for the
artillery and other carriages of war. Two guns aro
to be added to each field-battery. The Hanoverian
cavalry, reputed one of the best in Europe, is on
the full war establishment.
London, England, 1855-02-14

RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg of the 3d, in the
Constitutionnel, says :--
"It is reported that on the arrival of the despatch
from Vienna, announcing that an Austrian General had
been sent to Paris on a military mission, the Emperor
Nicholas was engaged in a conference with the Minister
of Warand Prince Paskiewiteh. The Emperor ordered the
aide-de-camp who brought the despatch to road it to
him—a course net generally pursued—and feeling sur-
prised at the impression produced by it on the Mi-
nister of War, he said emphatically,—' Is that all ?
There is nothing changed in the state of affairs.'
This is not the first time it has been remarked that
the Emperor affects the most complete impassibility,
even on receiving news of the most important character.
The preparations for defence which are being made on
all the strategical points of our frontiers, show that up
to the present time the Rus'ian Cabinet does not flatter
itself with the hope of obta,ininga pacific solution at Vienna.
I can assure you that at Gatschina the persons of the
Court are convinced that the attitude of Austria
towards Russia is less the result of necessity than
the consequence of the warlike sentiments which
animate the young Emperor Francis-Joseph. The
Government continues to do all it can to render the
war popular. The Czar himself does not allow any op-
portunity to escape of encouraging voluntary contribu-
tions and of making himself agreeable to the donors.
Only ten days ago he addressed the following rescript of
thanks to the community of Riga :
" ' To our well-beloved community of Riga.
"'The Governor-General, Prince Suwa,roff, has an-
nounced to us that the community of Riga offered him
on the 18th December last a sum of 50,0 roubles (the
rouble is upwards of 4fr.) towards the expenses of
the war. In accepting this gift as a proof of the de-
votedness of the community of Riga, it is extremely
agreeable to us to express to it en this occa'ion our
warm and sincere gratitude. NreoLs.e.'
The commandant of Woronege, Rubzoff, made a
present to the Grand Dukes Nicholas and Michael of
two images of saints for Fort Alexander at Sebas-
topol. A Prussian subject, who has long been estab-
lished here as a jeweller, has, in his love for Rus-
sia, placed at the disposal of the Empress jewels te the
value of 2,768 roubles. The Empress gave that sum to
her sons, charging them to distribute it to the garrison
of Sebastopol. Addresses expressive of devotedness
have been received from Smoleneko and Kharkoff."

By a decree dated the 22d January, the Emperor
Nicholas conferred the order of the White eagle on
Vice-Admiral Nachimoff, commanding the sth di-
vision of the fleet.

TURKEY.

A letter from Constantinople by the last mail
contains the following :
" The Turkish Government still perseveres in the pu-
rifying of its internal administration. Selim Bey, Ferid-
Effendi, and Sapiret-Effendi have ceased to form part of
the Imperial household. These dismissals must have
had a serious motive. Mehemed Vaki-Pacha, the second
general of division created by old Khosrew-Pacha in the
first days of reform, now appointed General-in-Chief of
the army of Anatolia, is about to set out for Erzeroum
and Kars. The ex-Grand Vizier Mehemed-Pacha,
whore presence and advice would just now have been
very useful to the Porte, will be sent away as Com-
mander-in-Chief of the army of Ronmelia, or as civil
and military Governor to Bagdad, from whence Me-
hemed Reschid Paella is about to be recalled.

" The rise in the rate of exchange is fearful. The
pound sterling, the rate of exchange for which the old
bank had kept at 110 piastres, is now worth 140, and is
still a lvancing.
"Some correspondents have greatly exaggerated and
altogether changed the nature of the facts relating to
the broils and loss of life to which the French and Eng-
lish soldiers at Constantinople have occasionally been
victims. The truth is, that these quarrels iuvsriably
begin with the Greeks or Italians, and for the most part
are not worth a serious mention. To listen to
certain of the European journals who know nothing of
the circumstances, it is the Turks who massacre our
men. The poor Turks, however, are as innocent
as they can be. Far from evincing the slightest ill-will,
they always welcome our soldiery in the most amicable
way, and never lose an opportunity of testifying their
friendliness and devotion. You may often see them
throw up their gravity, and laugh heartily at the poly%
glot and pantomimic efforts of the French soldiers to AI
tain information or assistance; and I must add that my
countrymen are never disappointed in the goodwill of
their hosts.

"It hag been stated that the palace of the Russian
embassy had been fitted up as an hospital, and placed at
the service:of our troops ; but this was a mistake : that
establishment has been exclusively reserved for the sick
and wounded Russians.

" The attention of our political circles has been again
directed to Persia. For more than a year two influences
have been incessantly at work. England and Russia
eagerly contest for predominance over the counsels of the
Shah. Till lately Russia seemed to be in the ascendant,
arising rather from sonic personal ill-feeling towards the
British envoy than from any decided leaning on the part
of the Persian Government towards St. Petersburg.
This, however, has been changed since the arrival at
Teheran of the new representative of England, Mr. Mur-
ray. The mission of this gentleman is supported by the
appearance on the scene of M. do Bourree, formerly
consul-general of France in Syria. These two diploma-
tists are to employ every effort to liberate Persia from
Muscovite influence."

ARRIVALS, &c., AT MALTA.

A letter from Malta, dated Bth Feb., says
"The Valetta, with the India mail, has just arrived.
Last night came in from the westward the steam trans-

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, FEB. 10.---The Wanderer has a very
remarkable piece of information to-day, namely,
that Prussia positively concluded a separate treaty.
of alliance with France and England, and approved
of by Austria, on the Bth inst., at Paris.
In necessarily well-informed quarters nothing
whatever is known of the conclusion of the treaty
in question.
The Fremden Blatt learns from the Russian
camp before Eupatoria that the division Korff has

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 7th have arrived.
The debate in the Cortes on the preceding clay,
on the proposition of the Government that the
laws already passed should bo submitted to the
sanction of the Queen, terminated by the alop-
tion of the motion by 187 votes to 9. In the
Cortes, on the 7th, M. Maria,tegui asked the
Minister of Finance if he intended to support
that part of M. Silva's proposition for a reform
of the tariffs which was injurious to the West
Indian possessions. The Minister said the reform
he contemplated was one which would conciliate
all interests, and especially those of the West In-
dian islands, The papers contain no news of inte-
rest. A letter says :
" The last despatches from our Minister at Wash-
ington rapresent in ♦ery favourable colours the
sentiments of the population and Government of the
United States with respect to Spain and her colo-
nies. The Pope's Nuncio frequently sees the Mi-
nister of Foreign Affairs. They hoped that rela-
tions with Rome will not be interrupted. It is not
true, as has been stated, that it is intended to form
armies of observation near the frontiers of Navarre and
Catalonia. The tromps in those provinces have, how-
ever, been concentrated by way of precaution. De-
spatches from Navarre say that perfect tranquillity pre-
vails there."

lowing States which belong to the Austro-German

telegraph union :—Bavaria, Saxony, Wurtem-
berg, Hanover, Baden, and Mecklenburg-
Schwerin.

The Kreuz Zeitung of Berlin announces that
Austria is resolved to renew her demand for the
mobilisation of the Federal army at present
ordered to be made ready for war. In that case
she will further press for the election of a Federal
Commander-in-Chief.

Prussia will oppose this measure, and will also
endeavour to obtain from the Diet a vote for-
bidding the presence of foreign armed corps (a
French corps d' armee) within the territory of the
Band.

Letters from the frontier of Poland state that
the recent dislocation of troops in that kingdom
is ascribed to a change of the plan of defence. It
is believed that the object of the Russian com•
mander is to make the right bank of the Vistula,
between Lublin, Zamosc, Wicprz, and the Vis-
tula, and between Warsaw and Brzecs, the
theatre of the war.

RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg of the 3d, in the
Constitutionnel, says :--
"It is reported that on the arrival of the despatch
from Vienna, announcing that an Austrian General had
been sent to Paris on a military mission, the Emperor
Nicholas was engaged in a conference with the Minister
of War and Prince Paskiewitah. The Emperor ordered the
aide-de-camp who brought the despatch to read it to
him—a course not generally pursued—and feeling sur-
prised at the impression produced by it on the Mi-
nister of War, he said emphatically,—'ls that all !
There is nothing changed in the state of affairs.'
This is not the first time it has been remarked that
the Emperor affects the most complete impassibility,
even on receiving news of the most important character.
The preparations for defence which are being made on
all the strategical points of our frontiers, show that up
to the present time the Russian Cabinet does not flatter
itself with the hope of obtaining a pacific solution at Vienna.
I can assure you that at Gatschisa the persons of the
Court are convinced that the attitude of Austria
towards Ru-sia is less the result of necessity than
the consequence of the warlike sentiments which
animate the young Emperor Francis-Joseph. The
Government continues to do all it can to render the
war popular. The Czar himself does not allow any op-
portunity to escape of encouraging voluntary contribu-
tions and of making himself agreeable to the donors.
Only ten days ago he addressed the following rescript of '
thanks to the community of Riga :
" To our well-beloved community of Riga.
"'The Governor-General, Prince Suwaroff, has an-
nounced to us that the community of Riga offered him
on the 18th December last a sum of 50,000 roubles (the
rouble is upwards of 4fr.) towards the expenses of
the war. In accepting this gift as a proof of the de-
votedness of the community of Riga, it is extremeiy
agreeable to us to express to it en this occa,.ion our
warm and sincere gratitude. NICOLAS.'
The commandant of Woronege, Rubzoff, made a
present be the Grand Dukes Nicholas and Michael of
two images of saints for Fort Alexander at Sebas-
topol. A Prussian subject, who has long been estab-
lished here as a jeweller, has, in his love for Rus-
sia, placed at the disposal of the Empress jewels to the
value of 2,768 roubles. The Empress gave that sum to
her sons, charging them to distribute it to the garrison
of Sebastopol. Addresses expressive of devotedness
have been received from Smolensk° and Kharkoff."

By a decree dated the 22d January, the Emperor
Nicholas conferred the order of the White eagle on
Vice-Admiral Nachimoff, commanding the sth di-
vision of the fleet.

port them, the people must be girding up their loans for
an approaching general election. It is true that the
threat of an election was only uttered at first with a
view to scare mutinous members of the House of Com-
mons into good behaviour. But every day adds to the
evidence that it is the only means by which a Ministry
that has at heart the interests and honour of Britain can
obtain the requisite power to carry its policy into effect.
Let all who sincerely wish for a thorough reform of oar
military and naval establishments—all who wish to see
the people take their legitimate share in the administra-
tive as well as the legislative branches of government—
all who do not wish to hear the Reform Act of 1831
read backward, like a witch's prayers—be on the alert.

THE SICK AND WOUNDED.

The sick and wounded in garrison at Portsmouth yes-
terday again experienced the kindness of Lady Smith
and Major-General Sir Fredrick Smith, R.E. ; they
distributed a large quantity of warm comforters for the
wrists and necks, together with hanakerchiefs, sent
by Mrs. Birch, of Uorley, and several religious books
sent by the Countess Grey, and her sister, Miss Copley.
Lady Smith, who takes a deep interest in the welfare of
these gallant sufferers, also administered jellies, blanc-
manges, cakes, rusks, and such like nourishing luxuries.

PERSIA.

At a moment when a closer alliance with Persia,
the frontier neighbour of Russia, should so earnestly
be cultivated, we aro sorry to receive dates from
Teheran, the capital, to the commencement of the
present year, loudly complaining that, through the
gross mismanagement of affairs by the represen-
tative of Great Britain, British influence is at a
sad low discount, whilst that of Russia is daily
increasing, and the internal state of the country is
in deplorable anarchy. Mr. M'Coan, the corre-
spondent of a London morning journal, on his road
from Tabreez to Mooscool and Constantinople, has
been attacked by brigands, five hours' journey from
Jesireh, and stripped of all he possessed ; and in
this destitute state forced to retrace, barefooted,
his steps to Mooscool, for five long days and nights,
begging his bread I The Russian army continues
at Bayzid. The Hon. Mr. Murray, the newly-
appointed minister at the court of the Shah, was
looked for at his post by the way of the Persian
Gulf and Bagdad, early in February. Mr. Stevens,
the late British consul at Tabreez, has left' the last-
mentioned city for Teheran, to which he has been
appointed, in order to receive the new minister, on
whose arrival, with the knowledge of the Persians
which Mr. Stevens can impart to him, a speedy
change of things to the benefit and advantage
of British interests is confidently reckoned upon.
It is with these views, no doubt, that Mr. Stevens
has been induced to postpone the availing of the
leave to visit England, which was accorded to him
on his removal from Tabreez, where, on the acces-
sion to the throne of the present Shah (at that time
governor of the province of which Tabreez is the
chief city), and for some time afterwards, Mr.
Stevens rendered very signal services to his coun-
try, whose interests were then, as they unfor-
tunately now again are, suffering from Russian in-
trigues, crafty policy, and paramount ascendancy.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Feb. 11.—The Korvigsberg journal
states, under the head of " Marienburg, ' that the
passages across the rivers Nogat and Vistula, over
the firmly-set ice, being now solidly established,
traffic and transport of merchandise are more ac-
tive than has ever been remembered during winter.
The greater part of the goods thus transited con-
sists of cotton, saltpetre (!), sulphur, and such like
articles for, and of tallow, copper, .Sec., from
Russia. The traffic from Prussia in articles coming
under the head of " contraband of war" is specially
active. Tho ice on both rivers is reported to
average 2i feet in thickness.
The estimates for the Foreign Department were
discussed yesterday, and, despite of sundry de-
mands for reduction, all the items were carried as
proposed by the Minister of Finance.
The Kreuz Zeitung has the following :
"If the negotiations for peace in Vienna should, as
we have all along expected, and as is still probable, lead
to no result, the Military Convention, the stipulations
of which are now being settled by the three PowerA,
France, Austria, and England, will be at once concluded.
Nothing is at present known of the stipulations ; but

OISONING BY MISTAKE.
TO THE EDITOR OF VIE DAILY NEWS.
FIR,—We beg to call your dttentio.,, and that of the public, to
another lamentable case of poisoning, Which has just occurred in
Bath, and which is reported in the " Times" of this day. When will
the world open its eyes to the monstrous absurdity of giving deadly
poisons for the cure of disease? And what is to be expected so long
as such deadly agents are used, and marks and dog-Latin given as
a guide to the compounder !! If life and death depend upon fractions
of grains—or " sol" for " sal ' who Flu". be safe?
The British College of Mealth and he Society of flygeists, acting
upon the ilygeian system of James Morison, the Hygeist, have, dur-
ing* the last 30 years, protested against the infamous practice of
holding out deadly poisons as medicines, or I' medicinally," as it is
termed ; and they again take this opportunity of recording such pro-
test. The public happen to'hear of thi3 case, because it is a medical
nien who suffers ; but suppose it had been a patient, would it not
have been hushed up in oblivion? The British College of Health
presented to Parliament, on the 15th of June, 1847, a petition against
poisons used as medicines, signed by 19,950 persons; and, on the 7th
of July, 1851, they presented another petition, signed by 3,331 per-
sons, against writing prescriptions in Latin, and signs or marks.—

SHELLING THE RUSSIANS.

About noon several Russian regiments were dis-
covered on one of the small islands thickly wooded
with pine trees, busily engaged in throwing up
batteries, which might have proved highly danger-
ous to the ships of the Allies if not interrupted in
time. Two frigates and a corvette were ordered
by signal to move up and shell the place, which
was speedily done, and the Russians abandoned
the island, leaving 500 killed and wounded behind
them, whilst the ships returned to their former sta-
tions without suffering the least damage.
REPORTING LOSSES AND CASUALTIES.
At 5 p.m. the gun-boats and mortar vessels
were ordered by signal to report their losses and
casualties. The answer was, that one sailor's arm
was hurt by the fall of a yard, otherwise no da-
mages had been sustained.
In one vessel, fitted with Julius Roberts's mor-
tar, it split into parts and fell into the well, but
in the discharge the shell went into the fortress ;
in another mortar vessel one half the mortar was
thrown on the quarter-deck, the other half on the
fore-deck, fortunately without doing any injury.
THE ROCKETS AT NIGHT.

And now it is night, a pitch dark night ; all
quiet but an occasional explosion on shore or a
shell from a mortar. Perhaps the Russians were
even trying to rest. Whether or not, they must
have been rather astonished at about 12 o'clock by
seeing the sky suddenly illuminated and 40 or 50
rockets rushing simultaneously into.their already
well-lighted town and store-houses. These danger-
ous projectiles, thrown from the boats of the fleet
at 2,500 yards distance, soon added fuel to
the flame, and one of the most enormous
fires conceivable was the result. It was in
vain that they fired Shrapnell shell, red-hot
shot, &c., at the boats ; it availed nothing.
For a full hour the hissing sound of the
rocket was heard, at the end of which time it
is no exaggeration to say that the fire extended
nearly a mile, the flames and black smoke being
perfectly terrible to look at. At two o'clock in
the morning a similar dose was administered.

The only accident that took place was two. m
of
wounded in the Vulture's boat by the explosion

The Military Governor of Archangel, Admiral
Kroustehoff, under date of the 20th of July (Ist of

the allied squadrons in the White Sea
:--
"The Eng steamer which, on the 17th (29th) of
June, approached the island of Zvietsky, returned there
on the 21st (3d of July) with a French steamer.

MARYLEBONE.

CHARGE OP STABBING.—An athletic fellow, named
John Brantstone, a marine store dealer, residing in
Paradise•street, was brought before Mr. Broughton,
charged with feloniously cutting and wounding James
Clark, described as a barman at the Queen's Head,
High-street., Marylebone.
Police•con'stable Obey (68 D) stated that about half-
past eleven o'clock last night he was on duty in Not-
tingham-place, when he heard an alarm given that a
man had been stabbed. Tho pilsuuer was pointed out
to him at the corner of the street as the man who had
committed the offence, and heat once took him in custody.
The prisoner was intoxicated. He (witness) afterwards
went into the tap-room-of the Nottingham Arms, and
there saw the prosecutor, who pointed out the prisoner
as the person who had stabbed him. Clark was wounded
in the thigh, but said he was not aware that the knife
bad injured him until he was informed of it. Two or
three persons, however, sail they had seen the prisoner
inflict the wound. The prosecutor was also drunk.
A man named James Gavin spoke to hearing the pri-
soner admit, in reply to the remarks of some bystanders,
that he did it and should not run away.
It being understood that there were some other wit-
nesses to be brought forward, and the prosecutor being
unable to appear,
The prisoner was remanded for a week.
