FRANCE.

The Moniteur of yesterday contains the report
of the commission appointed by the decree of Aug.
5, 1854, to carry out as far as practicable the testa-
mentary dispositions of Napoleon I. The report
is presented by M. A. Fould, and concludes....
"Thus four-and-thirty years after the death of the
Emperor his last wishes on behalf of his faithful ser-
vants and glorious companions in arms receive
their consecration." The Moniteur contains no
further news from the seat of war.

Immediately upon receipt of news from the
Crimea that the fire before Sebastopol was sus-
pended, the French Government sent orders to
Marseilles for the embarkation of a new siege train
consisting of nearly 300 heavy guns.
The departure of Omer Pacha from before Sebas-
topol is confirmed by letters from Kamiesh of tint
24th, brought by the Sinai. He has taken
him ten battalions to Eupatoria, reports haying
arrived that the Russians had massed troops in
front of that town, and were preparing an attack.
The Emperor has addressed the following letter
to the widow of the late Minister of Marine
Tuileries, April 23.
" My dear Madame Ducos—l am at a loss how to
express to you all that I felt on hearing of the death of
the excellent M. Ducos, who has rendered me such im-
portant services, and shown so much devotedness to me.
I above all thought of you and of all you have lost ; rely
therefore, Madame, on my sentiments and those of the
Empress ; we shall be happy to be able to assuage your
misfortune. Accept the assurance of my affectionate
sentiments.

NAPOLEON."
The following private telegraphic despatch has
been received :

"BERLIN, May sth.--The Prussian Monitor an-
nounces that on Tuesday the king had an attack of
fever, which ceased on the following day, but that he
had a fresh attack on Thursday, which ceased last night."

ROLLS COURT.

ARMSTRONG V. BURNETT—JUDGMENT.
The Master of the Rolls gave judgment to-day in this
case, in which the principal question was, whether the
calls upon certain shares in the Newcastle and York-
shire Banking Compa❑y, possessed by the testator prior
to, and at the ti me of, making the will, were to be paid out of
the property given to his specific legatees or by general
personal estate. The testator in the cause died as far
back as 1843. At that time he was in possession of
1,180 shares of the Newcastle and Yorkshire Bank,
which he specifically devised to his nieces, all of whom
were at that time infants. After his death a call was
made by the banking company of 51. a share, and the
executors in order to pay that call, borrowed, con-
sidering that i❑ doing so they were benefitting the
estate of the testator. It was sought by the specific
legatees to oake the a,aiount of that call a charge upon
the general personal estate of the testator, which was
resistel by the re-idnary legatees, on the ground that the
executors in raising the money to pay the calls had
placed themselves in the situation of trustees for the
specific legatees, and had thereby made their interest
liable. His Honour, after going at considerable length
into the authority upon the subject, stated his opinion
to 100 that the specific legatees were bound to pay the
call on the bank, and that the residuary legatees were
exonerated from all payment in respect of them.
After a short discussion, his Honour said he would
state his opinion with respect to the costs to-morrow.

THE VIENNA NEGOTIATIONS.

Mr. DISRAELI said as the Vienna negotiations bad
proved unsuccessful, and as it was now exactly a week
since the unsuccessful negotiator bad appeared in this
house, he wished to know when the papers would be
laid on the table of the house relative to those negutia-
tiOnS ? (Hear.)

Sir G. GREY replied he was not able to give a de-
finite answer to the question of the right hon. gentle-
man, but he could state that the noble lord the Mini•t-r
for Foreign Affairs was now preparing those papers, and
they would be laid upon the table as soon as possible.
Mr. DISRAELI— Then, Sir, I give notice that to-
ker."
a I shall ask what day those papers will be pro-
„u4e4, *.nd unless her Majesty's Government are then
vrePated to •

RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg, of the 25th ult.'
in the Constitutionnel, says :—" A despatch has
been received here to-day from Vienna which has
caused a certain sensation at the Court. At one
moment the Russian Plenipotentiary at Vienna
thought that Austria, by her mediation, would be
able to smooth down all difficulties, but according
to recent accounts she has placed herself defini-
tively on the side of France and England. Judge
of the astonishment of MM. Gortschakoff and de
Moil when they were given to understand on the
part of Austria that the turn of Russia was come
to make concessions, which were laid down thus,
almost as am ultimatum Limit the number of
vessels of war iu the Black Sea.' The Emperor
Alexander, I am able to affirm, added with hie
own hand to the last despatch addressed b Prince
Gurtschakoff at Vienna these words—' Equality of
rights ; honour intact ; equilibrium of forme.' You
will admit that after these words, neither M. de
Titoff nor Prince Gortschakoff were prepared to
London, England, 1855-05-07

PETITIONS.

Petitions were preselite i by Mr. Ferguson, frim Car-
Hale, against the Maynooth endowment ; by Mr.liontail,
from Dissenting congregations of Liverpool, for the
abolition of church rates ; by Mr. Scholefield, a petition,
signed by 13,000 inhabitants of Birmingham, against the
Sunday Beer Bill ; by Mr. Headiam, a petition
signed by 30,000 inhabitants of Newcastle, against the
Sunday Beer Bill of last session ; by Mr. Mowbray,
from Durham, against the Marriage Bill.
OUT-DOOR RELIEF FOR SOLDIERS'
FAMILIES, &c.
In reply to Colo.iel KNox,
Mr. BAINES said, poor persons could not, in point
of law, insist upon being relieved out of the
workhouse, but there was an express exception in favour
of able-bodied persons in the service of her Majesty,
either in the army, the navy, or the marines, and he bad
reason to believe that the guardians thought the coun-
try were exercising this power in a very considerate
Spirit.

EDUCATION.

Sir J. PAKINGTON had a similar question to put to
the noble lord wito rgard to his measure on education.
He trusted the noble lord would appoint some early day
for the resumption of the•debate upon that important
question.
Lord PALMERSTON waq anxious to accommodate
the right hon. hart., but he thought it difficult, if not
impossible, to postpone urgent business at the present
moment. He trusted the right hon. gentleman would
communicate with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and
if he did so he could assure him it would not be the
fault of the Government if something was not done to
meet hi;

ITALY.

At Turin public expectation is on the tip-toe to
know how the Court of Rome will act after the de-
cision of the Senate on the Convent Bill. If an
excommunication should be determined on, the
country is prepared to hear it. Both Revolutionists
and Reactionists have been defeated for the time,
and the bill, as amended by the Senate, had been
presented to the Chamber of Deputies, by which it
was referred to a commission, and on Saturday
next will, perhaps, be brought forward for discus-
sion. ' There is little doubt of its being carried in
the lower house, even though despised by many as
an abortion, but a good deal of opposition from both
extreme parties may still be expected.

A letter.from Warsa*, of the 23d, says :—" The
very slight hopes entertained of the re-establish-
ment of peace have been very disadvantageous to

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

The French vaudeville, " Tine Histoire d'un Sou," has
been adapted for this theatre, where it was brought out
last night under the title of Only a Halfpenny. The
hero, Mr. Stanley Jones (Mr. Buckstone), has had the
happiness of lending a young lady the sum of one half-
penny to make up an omnibus fare, her available assets
being deficient to that extent. To effect a footing in her
house he comes in the capacity of a creditor, and with
the connivance of her maid, whom he has bribed over to
his interests, no change can be got for the five-shilling
piece out of which he is instructed to take the simple
coin that is his due. Mr. Stanley Jones has, of course,
only one object in view—that of ingratiating himself
with his fair debtor, who, although on the eve of mar-
riage, he is enabled to obtain, on the strength of a ma-
noeuvre touching a bill of exchange, by which he takes
the place of the bridegroom elect. The farce was re-
ceived with great merriment. Buckstone was its unde-
niable mainstay ; and his spoon-bill coat and precise
aspect when he appeared to advance his claim and to
persist in an honourable discharge of the loan incurred
at the corner of the street, was so irresi,tibly ludicrous
as to be at once prophetic of the success which was
realised.

SALMON FISHERY IN WALES.-0 wing to the efforts
which have been made by the various societies to pre-
serve and improve the different fisheries and salmon
streams in the principality, this year the sport promises
to be exceedingly good.
The Post-office authorities Low grant a day delivery of
letters to any district, the revenue from such delivery
not being equal to the expenditure, provided the inhabi-
tants of the district subscribe a sum for the Post-office
department equal to the deficiency. This subscription
is only necessary until the number of letters increase
sufficiently to enable the revenue to meet the expendi-
ture. As the correspondence begins to multiply inva-
riably after the delivery commences, the subscription is a
diminishing and temporary tax.

KERTCH AND YENIKALE.

( Prom Galignani's Messenger.)
What is called the Sea of Az'off is in reality no-
thing more than a vast pond or gulf, noted for its shal-
lowness, and united to the Black Sts by. the Strait of
Yenikale. The Sea of Azoff is inaccessible to what would
be properly called vessels of war ; it is defended on the
south by Kertch and Yenikale, and on the north by
Taganrog and Azoff. It will be now no longer traversed,
as it has hitherto been, by a multitude of small vessels,
conveying troops and provisions for Sebastopol, for it is
without doubt part of the plan of the allied commanders
to send in a number of their own vessels'and maintain
the command of the whole sea. Kertch is a small town,
the chief place of the peninsula of that name: It is re-
markable for its commanding position on the Strait of
Yenikale. Its roadstead is fine, and it is celebrated for
its fine museum of antiquities, medals, sculpture, Eke.,
found in the neighbourhood. There are several construc-
tions of enormous size near it, which are known by the
name of the Roues of the Cyclops. Yenikale is a small
town, but important on account of its citadel,whichcom-
mands the Strait, and which has always been highly con-
sidered by the Russians as a fortress. The distance from
Yenikale to Kertch is about nine miles, across a verdant
plain. Kertch- is completely built of stone, and the
hous€s are handsome. It contains a population of about
10,000 souls. It was a place of only slight importance
when it was ceded by the Porte to Russia in 1774, but
it soon after partly recovered its original splendour, to
the detriment of Theodosia, the ancient Kaffa. All the
commerce carried on at Theodosia was removed by the
Russian Government to Kedah, where all vessels booed
to the Sea of Azoff were compelled to undergo a quaran-
tine of ft-Air days. The larger vessels had their cargoes
brought to them in lighters from Taganrog or from Roe-
tof, but those of lighter draught of water creased the bar
and loaded at Taganrog. On their return they were
obliged to transfer half their cargoes at Yenikale into
lighters, and to reship it at Sertch, afte'r having passedt
over the shallows. Notwithstanding these difficulties,

A MONSTER OF CRUELTY.

We (Calcutta Englishman) have the following from
Lucknow

" March 29.—We have read of the terrors of the
Spanish Inquisition, the horrors and barbarities of the
reign of terror, and the persecutions of Christians by the
Roman Emperors, but the atrocities of the fiend Jugger-
nath, if not exactly unparalleled, are of a nature so revolt-
ing aid brutal as to instil loathing and disgust. The in-
ordinate love of cruelty and refinements of torture prac-
tised by this robber, lately elicited upon his short trial,
are supremely barbarous. A little while previous to his
arrest, Juggernath seized and carried off to the fortress
(the pandemonium where the worst excesses were en-
acted) the child of a mahajun, who was reputed to be
rich. He offered to ransom the boy for a sum of money
so exorbitant as to be out of the father's power to pay.
The robber, determined not to be outdone in his nefarious
scheme of extortion, put in force a diabolical threat
which he had previously communicated to the child's
parents. He gut off the unfortunate lad's ears and nose,
and placing them in a brass dish covered with red cloth,
sent the hideous spectacle as a gift to the father, with an
intimation that if, in the event of the amount demanded
being not forthwith remitted, he should be greeted with
a sight of the other members of his son's body. As no
blood can be knocked out of a stone, and the sum was far
beyond the parent's means, he earnestly implored for his
son. The inexorable Juggernath was as good as his
word, the fingers anu toes followed next, and finally he
dashed out the boy's brains against the wall of his fort
The boy's parents are the principal accusers against this
inhuman criminal.

THE MILITIA.

The Ist Devon Regiment of Militia was reviewed a
few days since at Newport, where they have lately gone
frora Exeter.

A. REMO OF BATTLE.—Among the military relics
we have lately seen, one brought from Balaklava by the
master of a merchant vessel is most interesting and me-
lancholy. It is a bras helmet, the headpiece of " Prin-
cess Charlotte's Own," found on the fatal plain of
Balaklava. Its owner must have been in the thick of
that gallant fight which almost annihilated the English
cavalry, as his helmet hears abundant evidence of a per-
fect storm of blows. We could, without difficulty, trace
upon it the marks of 10 distinct and heavy sabre blows,
roost of them indenting the brass to the depth of half-
an-inch, but only one actually cutting through the
helmet. But a, the top, close under the socket for the
plume, is the mark of that which effected what lance or
sabre•cut could not—the deadly rifle bullet. The ball
must have gone right through the top Of the soldier's
head, as near the base of the helmet inside the leather
is torn, as if by the same force. Some spots of the
gallant owner's blood still stain the lining, and some
straggling hairs torn off by the infliction of the wound,
leaving little doubt that the fatal messenger had done
the work too surely,—Cork Examiner.

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

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 rise 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. ourtenay's part. to have achieved the reputation
he has in this res sect ; 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."—Medlcal Circa'ar.
