SARDINIA.

The Sardi ni an Government has signed the pro-
tocol of April last, and thereby joined the allialace
of the `Neste rl a Powers.
This impo r tant step is taken in virtue of the
fifth article o f the Convention between her Majesty
and the Empt •or of the French, signed at London
on the 10th of , April, 1854. The fifth article runs
as follows :,...

"Their Majo sties the Queen of tho United King-

Glom of Great Britain and Ireland and the Emperor
of the French will readily admit into their alliance,
in order to co-operate for the proposed object, such
of the other Powers of Europe as may be desirous
of becoming parties to it."

General ba.bormida has resigned,, and Count
Cavour has accepted the office of Minister for
Foreign Affairs.

PRUSSIA.

The Moniteur publishes the following items of
foreign news
"Under date of Berlin, sth of January, the
Augsburg Gazette of the Bth says :
" In the conference of the 28th of December the
representatives of the Powers who signed the treaty
of the 21 of December came to an understanding
upon the interpretation of the four guarantee-
points, which had been laid down in a note drawn
up by M. de Bourqueney, and communicated to
Prince Gortschakoff. After listening attentively,
Prince' Gortschakoff asked Count Buol if the Aus-
trian Cabinet accepted that interpretatiOn. 'ln
all points,' replied the Minister. Prince Gortscha-
koff then asked leave to take a copy of it, to send
it to the Cabinet of St. Petersburg, ' not having
(he is said to have added) the necessary instructions
for such a case.' Two days afterwards Prince
Gortschakoff put in demands to provoke a second
conference, but he failed, as the representatives of
the Western Powers gave a formal refusal, and
declared that they would not enter into needless
'pourparlers on the note in question, and that all
they asked from the Cabinet of St. Petersburg was
Yes' or No.'

A letter from Berlin of the 6th, in the Nurem-
berg Correspondent, says :—" The Austrian de-
spatch by which Prussia is called on to place her
army on a war-footing, appears to bear the date of
one of the last days of December. It is said that
in case the attempt now made to bring about peace
should fail Austria is to enter Bessarabia, and
that it is on that account that she desires to be
protected on the; side of Poland. It appears that
this proposition arrived at the moment when the
portion of the Prussian Ministry which is less
anxious about neutrality was endeavouring to ob-
tain the accession of Prussia to the treaty. The
policy of neutrality has again gained ground in
consequence of the Austrian proposition, the fear
of being immediately led into an offensive war
having produced a strong impression."

MILITARY.

The screw steamer Bahiana, is now at anchor in the
Mersey, Liverpool, ready to embark the 82d Regiment,
and the steamers Canadian and Imperador are being
fitted up at that port for the reception of troops, with
the utmost possible despatch. The 82d Regiment were
ordered to Preston on Wednesday, where they will un-
dergo a severe medical scrutiny, and when pronounced
fit for service they will proceed to Liverpool. The wo-
men and children will not sail in the Bahima, as at first
arranged, but the regiment will be accompanied by 60
men connected with the Commissariat de?artment, whd
will arrive at Liverpool from Dublin.
Captain Travers' company, sth battalion of Royal
Artillery, at present stationed at Leith Fort, and Cap-
tain Hawkins's company, 7th battalion, stationed at
Dublin, have been ordered to return to head-quarters
at Woolwich immediately, for the purpose of being fitted
up and placed in a state of readiness to embark for the
Crimea. The addition of these companies to those pre-
viously preparing for foreign service makes 11 field bat-
teries and companies under orders for the seat of war.
The Marquis of Dalhousie has approved of a camp
being formed at Umballah to continue for a few months.
It is expected that the following regiments will be pre-
sent :-52d Queen's Light Infantry, GOtli Rifles, 20th

CORN EXCRANGE.
The present week's arrivals of English wheat, coastwise
and by land carriage, have been but moderate, and the
show of samples, to-day, was small. The demand, how-
ever, for all kinds was in a very inactive state, and the
quotations were almost nominal. Foreign wheat—the
show of which was but moderate—sold heavily, but w e
have no actual decline to notice in the currencies. Float-
ing cargoes commanded very little attention.
The show of barley was not extensive • yet the trans-
actions in that article were trifling, at barely Monday's
fall.

Tbere was very little doing in malt, the prices of which
were again lower.
The inquiry for oats was dull, and the quotations were
barely supported.
Beans, peas, and flour were very dull,

SMITHFIELD.

To-day's market was well supplied with beasts. For all
breeds we had a very inactive demand, at barely Mon-
day's decliae in the quotations. The numbers of sheep
were fery moderate, yet the sale for them was dull, at
unaltered currencies. Calves— the supply of which was
small—moved off slowly, at barely late rates. in pigs
very little was doing, on former terms.
Milch cows were very dull, at from 141. to 191. each,
including their small calf.

ties, and the supply of money stock increases.
This is due not alone to the decline at Paris and
the doubts thrown upon the prospects of peace,
but likewise to the impression that the amount of
bullion in the Bank of England, according to tho
return in this evening's Gazcit, will be again
smaller. The reported defeat of a Turkish detach-
ment in the Danubian principalities has an effect
also upon a market previously drooping, and it is
not the interest of our great capitalists to give any
support until they have obtained their allotments
in the French loan. Consols have been 911 to 91i

911 to 921. Exchequer Bills bring 4s. to 7s. prem.
Bank Stock is firm at 2101.
In the Foreign Market Peruvian Bonds have
been firm at 71. The parties advocating an imme-
diate compromise, regardless of adequate security
for its being carried out, will doubtless prove suc-
cessful in one point—viz., the temporary enhance-
ment of the market values, and a further rise is
not, therefore, improbable. Spanish Threes have
been done at 38. The Turkish Bonds have realised
751 to 76. Russian Five per Cents. have been
done as high as par. Equador are steady at 4.

ACCEPT..4III-C1 BY RUSSIA OF THE

FOUR PoINTS.

We believe that, in consequence of the acceptance by
the Czar of the Four Conditions, as interpreted by the
Allies, a Congress will meet at Vienna about the Ist of
February. For this important meeting of the represen-
tatives of the Allies and of the Czar, with a view to the
negotiation of peace, the preliminary steps are now being
taken. It is necessary that new powers should he issued
by the Governments concerned, as the present Ministers
at Vienna have not the requisite full powers ; and,
therefore, fresh commissions must be issued, and if it
so pease the Cabinets—and such a course we think not
unlikely to find favour in their eyes—new Envoys will
be accredited for the special purpose of assisting at the
Congress in question.

The present meetings of Ministers at Vienna, though
frequently termed Conferences, have no right to that
title, being merely interviews of no positive authority or
result. The one interview which had a real and solid
importance was that in which Prince Gortschakoff an-
nounced to the Representatives of the Allies that his
Imperial Master accepted completely the conditions
which they laid down as absolutely necessary as starting
points for negotiation.

- When the Congress—in which, of course, a Turkish
Plenipotentiary will take part—is at length held, we
shall, no doubt, hear of deeply interesting and impor-
tant discussions ; but it is idle to speculate upon these
whilst the great event which will give tone and sub-
stance to them is yet impending.
There is no doubt that at this moment most vigorous
measures are being prosecuted in the Crimea ; and now
that Omer Pasha and his army create a diversion, and
our own forces have received such considerable rein-
forcements, we may look at any moment for intelligence
of a pitched battle with the Russian army, or the breach-
ing and storming of Sebastopol—or both.
Sebastopol must fall. And when it has fallen—and
then only—we may seriously look for beneficial results
from the Congress which is about to assemble. Then,
with the material guarantee of the ruin of his power
and influence in the East in our hands, and with all
Europe ranged in battle array against him, the Czar
may be induced to give a real effect to the negotia-
tions which he has initiated, and to spare Europe fur-
ther bloodshed, and Russia further damage, by sin-
cerely and effectively abandoning his aggressive designs,
and the means by which it was attempted to oarry them
out,—Morning Post,

effect extraordinary cures of Bad Legs.—Mr. John
Stokill, of West Harlsey, Northallerton, suffered for
upwards of two years with several wounds on his legs ;
every means wag tried in the hope of deriving some
benefit, but without success ; and the disease ultimately
assumed so severe an aspect that it was considered am-
putation would be necessary to save his life. Hopeless
as his ca3e appeared, lie resolved not to undergo the
operation, but commenced using Holloway's Ointment
and Pills ; the result was an almost immediate improve-
ment, and by continuing these wonder-working reme-
dies, both legs were completely cured. Sold by all medi-

VISIT OF PRINCE ALBERT TO THE

SAILORS' ROME.

PORTSMOUTH, MARCH l9.—His Royal Highness Priace
Albert and suite came over from Osborne House to this
port this morning, on a'visit of inspection of the new
royal yacht, and of the Sailors' Home. The visit was a
private one, the usual Salutes, so far as his Royal High.
ness was concerned, being dispensed with. The Fairy,
tender to the royal yacht, with the Prince on board,
arrived in harbour a little before eleven o'clock, and pro.
seeded round to the north end of the dockyard, Prince
Albert and suite landing at the steam basin, in which
the royal yacht is moored to receive her machinery.
A guard of honour from the Royal South Lincoln Mi-
litia, under the command of Lieut.-Coigne' Fane, was in
attendance with the band of the regiment, and received
the Prince with the usual honours. His Royal High-
ness then dispensed with the further attendance of the
guard, which returned to the barracks. The Prince
then proceeded to the yacht, on board which he re-
Inained upwards of an hour, going over the whole of the
interior of the vessel and examining its various arrange-
ments, and directing some alterations, for the
greater convenience of the crew, be made. On
leaving the yacht the Prince proceeded to the
Sailors' Home in Queen-street, adjoining the dock-
yard, where he minutely examined the accounts of
the institution and the whole of the arrangements
and accommodation for the class of persons for whops
it was established. His Royal Highness expressed
great admiration of the institution, and of the objects it
had in view, and also of the perfect success with which
those objects had been carried out. On leaving the Home
his Royal Highness, who was loudly cheered by the inha-
bitants, returned to the dockyard, shortly after which the
Fairy was again seen coming up through Spithead, having
the royal standard flying at her main, her Majesty being
on hoard. The Fairy came straight into harbour,
and his Royal Highness at once went off to her, and re-
turned to Osborne at half-past one. By orders of the
Queen the fleet did not salute on her arrival ; but this
order not being repeated when she returned, the ships in
harbour and at Spithead poured forth a salute of a deafen-
ing and magnificent character.

STRICTURE of the URETHRA : its Rational
Treatment and Prompt Cure.

By F. B. COURTENAY, •
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of Englindi •
" 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 surprise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a
most dexterous and skilful maniptf 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 bad
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 would with
greater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture
of the urethra."—Medical Circular.

tiaties corresponding to the privileges which were conferred
upon them. That was the object with which the commission '
was appointed. With regard to the conveyance of the mails
from London to Dublin, they were at that moment considering
arrangements by which the mails might be accelerated. The
acceleration would take place chiefly between Holyhead and
Kingston. With regard to the Dublin Post-office, the com-
mission which sat on the subject a short time ago recom-
mended that it should remain an independent establishment.
The recommendations which came from the great towns were
attended to as far as possible. With regard to the remunera-
tion of the district letter-carriers, he admitted that it was
small ; but in considering that subject it should be recollected
that they must be guided by the general remuneration of
labour in the district. (Hear.)

In reply to Mr. MACARTNIVI,
Mr. WILSON said that the new post boxes would enable
persons to post letters for the morning mails at any hour, as
it was intended that every morning a postman should go
round and collect letters.
The vote was then agreed to, and the house resumed.

EASTER RECESS.

Lord PALMERSTON gave notice that he should
move the adjournment of the house for the Easter re-
cess from the Friday before Passion week until the Mon-
day following the Easter week.
HOP DUTY.

On the motion that the house at its rising should ad-
journ until Thursday next,
Mr. FREWEN asked the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer if it was his intention to introduce any measure
during the present session to alter either the Excise
duty on British hops or Customs duty on foreign hops
If the Chancellor of the Exchequer could afford to give
up 200,0004 on the newspaper stamp, which the news-
papers themselves did not desire, surely he had a right
to ask this concession to an interest that really did
desire it.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
there was no present intention on the part of the Go-
vernment to alter either the Excise or the Custom duties
on hops.

The subject then dropped.
WOUNDED OFFICERS.

Captain KNOX asked the Under Secretary for War,
whether wounded officers at present on leave of absence
in distant counties are ordered up, and by whose autho-
rity, to be inspected by a medical board in London
before their wounds are healed ; and whether the word
of honour of such officers, together with the certificate
of the local medical man, is not sufficient to prevent the
necessity of their taking a journey which may be pre•
judicia 1 to health.

Mr. PEEL said the orders were either issued by the
War-office or the Horse Guards. Such a certificate as
that mentioned would be a sufficient excuse for not
obeying the order.
PUBLIC HEALTH ACT.

Mr. WILKINSON asked the President of the Board
of Health what extent of the Metropolitan District he
intended to exempt from the operation of the Public
Health Bill, 1855 ?

Sir B. HALL said the act of 1848 excluded the City
of Westminster, and the City of London, but the new
bill would embrace th 3 whole of the area embraced in
the Registrar-General's district.

POLAND AND HUNGARY.

Lord W. GRAHAM asked the First Lord of the
Treasury whether the Austrian Ambassador had called
upon Lord Clarendon for any explanation of the words
stated to have been used by a member of the Administra-
tion, that "no settlement of the Eastern Question would
be satisfactory unless Hungary and Poland were re-
stored."

Lord PALMERSTON said, in regard to the member
of the Administration to whom the noble lord refers, I
merely wish to say that it has afforded me great
satisfaction that that hon. friend of mine has ac-
cepted office under the Crown, and that I have a
most' confident expectation that the natural ability
and remarkable energy of his character will render
him an ornament to the public service—(cheers)—
and enable him to do honour to the memory of his illus-
trious father. (Cheers.) As to that part of the ques-
tion of the noble lord which refers to the policy of the
Government, I am quite prepared to give him the fullest
explanation. ' (Cheers.) Well, then, the Austrian
Government have all along known that the Govern-
ment of Great Britain would consider it a misfortune
-for gurope if Hungary were' separated from the
Austrian Empire, because they consider the exist-
ence'af "the• Austrian Empire -in the aggregate in the
centre of EnrOpe to be an essential element in the bal-
ance of power. (Hear, hear.) The AuAtrian Govern-
ment have no doubt as to the policy to be pursued by her
Majesty's Government with regard to that. With regard
to Poland I have no hesitation in stating my own opinion
to be that the present position of the kingdom of Po-
land is a standing menace to Germany, and it is for the
powers of Germany to determine how far they may
think the present constitution to be or not dangerous to
them, and whether under the circumstances, which may
lead them into war with Russia, they would think it
for their interest to endeavour to ;end that position of
affairs, but undoubtedly no stipulation in regard to any
new arrangement of Poland fornae,4 part of these,points
upon which her Majesty's Govelnment are now, in con-
cert with the Government of France,
,negotiating at
Vienna. That negotiation was being carried on upon
the basis of the Four Points, which are well known to
everybody; but the Governments have reserved to them-
selves the right according to circumstances and the
events of the war, to add in future to the
Four Points any other stipulation which they
may think essential for the future security of
Europe, but at present the negotiations were going 011
upon the Four Points. That is thd policy of tbp Go'
vernn3ent in regard to the negotiatic_rns. (Hear, hear.).
Lord W. GRAHAM submitted to the noble loid.tkat
he had not answered his question. •
Lord PALMERSTON—I have stated that the GO-
vernment of the Austrian empire are perfectly cognisant
of the policy and intentions of her Majesty's Govern-
ment. There never has been any secret or any doubt on
the part of the Austrian Government about it (Hear.)

Yesterday 400 wooden hospitals, for field service in the
Crimea, as also 2,000 bedsteads and bedding, ware
shipped on board the transports at Deptford, for con-
veyance to Balaklava.

The temporary huts for the encampment of 20,000
men on Aldershott-heath are ordered to be ready for the
troops on the Ist of April. The nearest station to the
camp is Farnborough.
The total number of transports taken up by Govern-
ment for the conveyance of cavalry to the Crimea is 21,
with a meashrement of 14,700 tons. They are all to be
ready to embark in 21 days from this date.
Colonel Shirley, commandant of the cavalry of the
Turkish contingent, has arrived in Dublin.
Lieutenant• General John Duffy, C. 8., Colonel of the
Bth (King's) Regiment, died on iSaturday, at his resi-
dence in Jermyn-street. He entered the army in 1795 ;
from which time to 1813 he wa9 actively employed in
the West Indies, expedition to Holland, in the East
Indies, in Egypt, the siege of Copenhagen, and in the
Peninsula. There are now two colenelcies, the Bth and
the 80t19, vacant.
On the 27th of February, the strength of the British
army in the Crimea (non-commissioned officers and
men), inclusive of marines, ambulance, and mounted
staff corps, was 27,067. The actual number of sick was

and why the officers appointed by Government to take
the quantities and prices of grain sold in each market
town, and by the magistrEtes in-each county, to regulate
weights and measures, were not instructed to enforce
the use of the standard measure in the sale of corn and
grain ?

Sir G. GREY said he was unable to give the informa-
tion asked for, as it was left to the local authorities to
enforce the law.

IRISH POOR LAW.

Mr. BELLEW asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland
whether it was the intention of Government to bring
forward any measure, or otherwise to permit the con-
solidation of certain Poor-law Unions in Ireland ; also,
whether the Government meant to.introduce, during
this session of Parliament, any measure or measures
legislating as to the existing relations between landlord
and tenant in Ireland ?

Mr. lIORSMAN replied in the negative to the first
question ; with regard to the second question, the sub-
ject had been under the consideration of the Govern-
ment, but they did not think it would be right to intro-
duce any measure until that of Mr. Serjeant Shee had
been discussed and disposed of.
