REPRESENTATION OF ARBLIGH.—There is a new can
didate for Armagh—a gentleman who advances the
strong claims that his name is not altogether un-
known in Ireland" (neither is that of " Smith" in-Lon-
don), and that his brother represents the county Mayo.

vacancy in Armagh. He modestly suggests in the open-
ing, of his address to the electors :—" It may appear
presumptuous in me, a perfect stranger to you all,
coming from a distant part of the country, to solicit
from you the highest honour in the power of men to
confer on an individual." Indeed it is very probable
the-electors will think your appearance amongst them
as a candidate a very great piece of " presumption,"
and so, Mr. Fitzgerald, you may as well remain at
Trafalgar•square.
BELFAST TRADE.—In 1829 Belfast possessed only one
flax spinning mill, with fourteen thousand spindles, now
there are upwards of half-a-million spindles. The ton-
nage, inwards and outwards, of the port is now upwards
of ens million five hundred thousand tons annually.
The value of Belfast imports and exports for 1854 was
upwards of sixteen millions sterling. The tonnage re-
gistered in Belfast amounted last year to about 80,000
tons, viz., 60,000 engaged in the foreign, and about
20,000 engaged in the coasting trade. The amount re-
ceived by the Customs. and Excise in Belfast now ex-
ceeds one million sterling annually. The consumption
of coals in Belfast exceeds one thousand tons per
day. The annual consumption of tea and sugar in the
Belfast district now amounts to about two millions of
pounds of the fornser and six thousand tons of the lat-
ter. Since 1801 the tonnage entering the port of Bel-
fast has increased upwards of fifteenfold.—Belfast Mer-
cantile Journal.

ARTICLE 111.

The author of any work published in either of the
two countries, who may choose to reserve the right of
translating it, shall, until the expiration of five years
from the date of the first publication of the translation
thereof authorized by him, be, in the following cases,
entitled to protection from the publication in the other
country of any translation of such work not so autho-
rized by him :
Sec. 1. If the original work shall have been registered
and deposited in the one country within three months
after its first publication in the other.
Sec. 2. If the author has notified on the title-page of
his work his intention to reserve the right of transla-
ting it.
Sec. 3. Provided always, that at least a part of the
authorized translation shall have appeared within a
year after the registration and deposit of the original,
and that the whole shall have been published within
three years after the date of such deposit.
Sec. 4. And provided that the publication of the
translation shall take place within one of th'e two coun-
tries, and that it shall be registered and deposited in
conformity with the stipulations of Article 11. of the
Convention of the 13th of IVE4y, 1846.
With regard to works which are published in parts, it
will be sufficient if the declaration of the author that
he reserves the right of translation shall appear in the
first part. But with reference to the period of five
years, limited by this Article for the exercise of the ex-
clusive right of translation, each part shall be treated
as a separate work, and each part shall be registered and
deposited in the one country within three months after
its first publication in the other.
ARTICLE IV.

The stipulations of the preceding articles shall also
be applicable .to the representation of dramatic works,
and to the performance of musical compositions, in so
far as the laws of each of the two countries are or shall
be applicable. in this respect to dramatic and musical
works first publicly represented or performed therein.
In order, !however, to entitle the author to legal
protection in regard to the translation of a dramatic
work, such translation must appear within three months
after the registration and deposit of the original.
It is understood that the protection stipulated by the
present article is not intended to prohibit fair imitationpt
or adaptations of dramatic works to the stage in Eng-
land and Prussia respectively, .but is only meant to pre-
vent piratical translations.
The question whether a work is an imitation or a pi-
racy, shall in all cases be decided by the courts of jus-
tice of the respective countrks, according to the laws in
force in each.

the room in flames, and the child lying on the ground
with its clothes ignited. The flames were extinguished
by some of the neighbours, and deceased was conveyed
to St. Thomas's Hospital, where death shortly after•

[ADvsarisiemr.],--Medicine always aggravates chronic dis-
eases, such as dyspepsia (indigestion), flatulency, habitual con-
stipation, nervous, bilious, and liver complaints, &c., but Du
Barry's delicious ReValenta Arabicarood invariably cures them
in a very short time, We extract two out of many thousand
expressions of gratitudelfrom invalids :—From the Dowager
Countess of Castlestuart. Cure 52,612.—Rosstrevor, County
of Down, Ireland, December 9, 1854. The Dowager Countess
of Castlestuart feels induced, in the interest of suffering hu-
manity, to state that Du Barry's excellent Revalenta Arabica
Food has cured her, after all medicines had failed, of indiges-
tion, bile, great nervousness and irritability of many years
standing. This food deserves the confidence of all sufferers,
and may be considered a real blessing. Inquiries will be
cheerfully answered.—Trevagler, Gulval, near Penzance Feb.
20, 1851.—Eighteen years nervous debility, violent palpita-
tionof the heart, throbbing of the temples, violent pains on
the left side and back, shortness. of breath, cough, numbness
of the extremities, cramps, spasms, flatulency, retching, and
such general weakness, that I was consequently fearful of fall-
ing when on mylegs, all these symptoms have been removed by
Du Barry's excellent RevalentaArabica Food. —MARX GELBERT

TO COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS.

It was suggested at a meeting of this influential
body, held at the Wheatsheaf Hotel, Stoke-ou-
Trent, that, with the year 1855, a new era of in-
structive usefulness shall commence ; that in every
town in the United Kingdom meetings be held
nightly for the discussion of subjects tending to
their mutual benefit and moral elevation. It was
resolved,—"That the president, for the time being,
do preside at those meetings, take the chair at
9 p.m., and name the subject for discussion ; that
where two cr more commercial houses are estab-
lished, such discussion do take place at each house
alternately ; and that the president do send to the
other houses, naming the subject, and invite the
attendance of all members of this body." It is
earnestly hoped that this resolution will be univer-
sally responded to.

think differently, as under existing circutwtencehop-

enabling them thereby to make room for a more:ten-

THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK.

Yesterday the annual general meeting of the proprie-
tors of this company was held at their banking-house in
the Strand, to receive the report and abstract balance-
sheet of the batik for the year ended on the 31st Decem-
ber last, a declaration of dividend for the last half-year,
and to appoint auditors and directors fcr the ensuing
year. Mr. Charles Walton, the governor for the past
year, occupied the chair.
PADDISON, the solicitor of the bank, in the ab-
sence, from illness, of Mr. Cameron, the general mana-
ger, read the report of the directors for the last year and
accompanYing statement of accounts.
Mr. GILLOTT, in moving the adoption of the report,.
congratulated the meeting on the removal of the impe-
diments which had long been thrown in the way of their
obtaining a supplemental charter, by which they would
ho enabled to increase their commencing capital front
100,0001., as fixed by the otiginal charter, to 600,0001.
Some of the shareholders might have thought that
larger dividend would have been allotted to them tide
year ; but, fur his part, he thought that small dividends
were the safest to declare at the outset of an important
tia.ling concern, as they might now consider this to be.
(Hear, hear.)

The motion for the adoption of the report, having
been seconded, was carried unanimously.
The meeting then proceeded to fill up the vacancy
caused in the direction by the death of Mr. Ruston, on
whom the chairman passed an eulogium for his ability
and integrity, and the great services be had rendered to
the bank from tune to time.

On the motion of Mfr. W. S. OWEN, M-r. Alderman
Kennedy way unanimously elected a member of the
board of directors in the place of Mr. Ruston.

Mr. Archibald Spens way the-n. unanimoutly elected
a director in the place of Mr. James Baring, who retired
by rotation, as was also M. Owen, in the stead of Mr.
Charles Walton, who retired in the same. way.
On the motion of Mr. GILLOTT, the usual allowance of
2,0001. was unanimously voted to the court of directors
for their• services during the past year.
Mr. Thomas Chandler and Mr. Thomas Page were re-
elected auditors. _ • _ _ _

-... .
Some conversation, originating with Mr. C. B. Kel-

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING-,! FEBRUARY 3, 1855.

Sweaborg tell the same tale. She seizes the Aland
Isles, and directly begins to erect fortifications,
intended soon to have become an impregnable
shelter to her pirate fleet, and almost within
cannon-shot of Stockholm. Even in the frozen
out-of-the way regions of Kamschatka her course
is th© same ; Petropaulovski and its cannon mark
the Russian presence. Civilisation or commerce
are trivial to this essentially robber Power. Every
spot she wrests from its rightful owners, whether
from the poor fishermen of Kamschatka or the
chivalrous, educated, and highly civilised Poles,
she oonverts, at once, to military purposeS. All
her civilisation condenses itself into preparations
for conquest ; conscription, impregnable forts
and cannon are the marks of Russian rule and
Russian conquest—her displays of civilisation on
every part of the globe.
No man deserves to ba England's Premier who
does not recognise this preposterous state of things,
and the necessity of making its reversal the end
of the present War. Poland and the other sub-
ject nations must be restored to their rights before
we ought to desist. An honourable peaoo will
never abandon the brave Circassians to the mercy
lof the Czan, and grant him an easy road to all
Asia Minor. An honourable peace will never
leave Poland in the condition to which it has for
so long been dishonourably consigned, a condition
dishonourably threatening, in addition, to all
Germany. An honourable peace will not give up
Sweden to the tender mercies of the builders of
Bomarsund—indeed, an unsafe peace can never
be even an honourable peace, and thus far, those
who with Statesmanlike views seek the one, must
seek the other also.

It is surely all important that the people and
their representatives should proclaim their views
unmistakeably. Nobly hitherto have 'both they
and the army refuted the CoBDEN and Bniour
calumnies. Instead of being cast down by the
first disappointments, and delays, and grumbling
at the first long bill, the only demand is for
more vigorous men, and for a result worth going
to war for. We believe the largest loan which
could be required would be hailed with acclama-
tions, if it were avowedly for the " the proloned
contest" which should free Poland and the other
nations, and reduce Russia to her natural and
just dimensions. which should leave her the
mistress of her e-vn serfs only.

THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS.

LORD PALMERSTON SENT
FOR BY HER MAJESTY.

Wo understand that Lord Derby was sent for
a second time by her Majesty, and the result of
the interview has led (as we anticipated in our
first edition) to Lord Palmerston's being sum-
moned to the royal presence this afternoon.
There is, therefore, every prospect that the hopes
of the country will be gratified by the noble lord
being placed at the head of the future
Ministry. We believe that at the interview which
took place this morning in Chesbam-place between
the Noble Lord and Lord John Russell, the lat-
ter Noble Lord promised his unqualified support
to the Administration in the event of his not be-
coming connected with it.

LATEST FROM ASIA.
The following has just been reeeiyed, via Con-
stautinople

The site of affairs in Asia is deplorable. If the
English are bad hands in the management of their
commissariat, the Turks are ten times worse. They
have an army of 25,000 to 30,000 men at Kars, and
provisions for six weeks, in a country where snow
covers the ground for three months without inter-
mission, where no roads exist, and starvation con-
sequently will soon stare the poor devils in the face.
The army has been for two months without a
Imushir ; the ex-general in chief, Zarif Mustapha
Pacha, was a sine qua non long before he quitted.
In fact, matters in that quarter were in such a
i desperate condition that appeal was made to her
Britannic Majesty's Government for an efficient
officer to proceed to head-quarters, and point out the
evils. Colonel Williams was entrusted with this
delicate mission ; he proceeded to Kars, detected
robbery, theft, and yillany in every nook and
corner, committed by the officers of every grade ;
rations for three times the number of troops that
were in camp were passed to the account of the
Government by these blackguards. Now Zarif
Mustapha, like his three predecessors, is in quod in
Constantinople. The two gelira Pachas both ran
away from before the Russians at Bayazid and
Batoum, and will be tried for their treacherous
conduct. The famous Bashi-Bazouk chief, Hassan
Zazigi, was in league with the band, and all the
disorders committed by his freebooters were con-
nived at. If peace does not come on at present,
the war in spring will be carried on with energy,
and it is more than probable that European t;oops
will co-operate ; consequently, let public attention
be drawn to the above facts, that when the proper
timecom es on we shall not be impeded by hin-
drances.
London, England, 1855-02-03

TO COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS.

It was suggested at a meeting of this influential
body, held at the Wheatsheaf Hotel, Stoke-on-
Trent, that, with the year 1,855, a new era of in-
structive usefulness shall commence ; that in every
town in the United Kingdom meetings be held
nightly for the discussion of subjects tending to
their mutual benefit and -moral elevation. It was
resolved,—" That the president, for the time being,
do preside at these meetings, take the chair at
U p.m., and name the subject for discussion ; that
where two or more commercial houses are estab-
lished, such discussion do take place at each house
alternately ; and that the president do send to the
other houses, naming the subject, and invite the
attendance of all members of this body." It is
earnestly hoped that this resolution will be univer-
sally responded to.

EXPERIMENTS ON BOARD THE SINBAD.

Some interesting experiments have recently been tried,
under the superintendence of the authorities at Wool-
wich Arsenal, to test the advantage of employing india-
rubber to diminish the shock occasioned to the timbers
of a vessel by the firing of heavy mortars or guns.
One of the new mortar-boats, the Sinbad has lately
been fitted at Woolwich with a set of powerful india-
rubber springs beneath the platform, and the result
has proved highly satisfactory. Twentj, rounds were
fired with a shell of 200 lbs. weight, carrying a
distance of from 4;000 to 5,000 yards ;
and the
springs, on examinailoa, were found-to be as perfect as 0
at starting. The Sinbad is fitted with tivelVprings,
,
each of which is calculated to resist a conaission of from
20 to 25 tons, at au, average compression of from 1 to
inches, showing that. the actual recoil firing one of
these ar,,e pieces is from 200 to 250 tons-.:
In order fully to test the advantage of :he applieation,
20 rounds were fired with the springs *ad 20 without ;
when the differencein the effect upon -t imbers of the
vessel was very, striking, and fully estah ed the supe-
riority of this mode of mounting hea guns on ship-
board.
We understand these springs are applied by Mr.
Fuller, of Bucklers'oury, who 4,8,:,p,,,,..vp,fje inaj;

Sheerness has now fully 50 wind-bound vusels,
colliersinballaSt, sheltering in the harbour. The
weather hero has been most unsettled and boisterous,
in consequence of which, and the heavy drifts of snow,
the London mail did not arrive here this afternoon. The
company of recruits of the Royal Artillery, expected
this week for the new barracks, have not arrived. The
recruits, however, which arrived from Woolwich last
week, in spite of the inclemency of the weather, are
daily drilled and exercised on the large space between
the two barracks, the snow being swept away every
morning.
Capt. Adair's company, 7th Battalion, Capt. Dixon's
company, 9th Battalion, and the left wing of Capt.
Child's company, 9th Battalion, for. Malta, with detach-
ments to fill up the companies in the Crimea, amounting
altogether to upwards of 400 men, marched from Wool-
wich garrison yesterday morning, at 9 a.m., for South-
ampton, to embark on board the Severn, for Malta and
the Crimea.

MILITARY.

The authorities have had their attention drawn to the
present unprotected and defenceless state of the whole of
the coast of Southern Wales, and they have determined
upon taking the necessary steps for its due protection. For
this purpose the Ordnance have sent down Colonel Bur-
'nester, R. E; to inspect the coast and to select the most
important and advantageous sites for the erection of bat-
teries or other defences. Among other places, Swansea
is to be better protected, and it has been deemed ad-
visable that two heavy guns should be mounted upon
the ea-tern pier of the harbour. These aro to be fixed
upon traversing platforms, so as t? command ovcry ap-
proach. The. high ground at Peuarth will, it is ex-
pected, be the site of another battery, soar to command
this important roadstead. The whole will be placed in
the hands of the Glamorgan new Artillery Militia. .

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 22.—The passage of the
Russians at Tultcha, and the capture of that place
with its garrison of 220 Turks, have excited the
greatest surprise here. Ministerial councils and
conferences with the representatives of the
Powers are daily taking place, for the purpose of
counteracting the diversion in the Dobrudscha.
On the 20th a note was communicated by the Porte,
demanding the immediate expedition of the French
ninth division, which has . just arrived, to arrest
the march of the enemy. Our latest news from
Schumla is of the 18th. Omer Paella had arrived
there, after visiting Kustendje and Mangolia. On
the 12th, Sadik Pacha, with his brigade of light
cavalry, and. Hurshid Pacha, with three battalions
of regulars, left for Babadagh, via Chernoroda,
where it is supposed the Russians had made their
appearance. This diversion on the part of General
Gortschakoff has partially succeeded. Omer Paella
will be detained for some time, and the operations of
the Crimea will be partially damaged thereby, as the
Turks are expected to march from Eupatoria, by
the Alma, and invest the north side of Sebastopol.
The passage of the Danube by the Russians seals
the doom of Austrian influence here. The Turks
look on the Internuncio with the most unfeigned
disgust for having fed them with false assurances
about the retreat- of the enemy. Why is Odessa
spared? This question is daily put here. The
presence of the allied fleets near that part of the
Black Sea, or in the roadsted of that port, will
soon bring the Muscovites to their senses. If we
fight the common enemy, let us de it, and Rot con-
fine operations to certain localities. The next
Varna steamer is expected to bring down great
news. If Austria is in earnest, in lieu of listening
to the false peace assurances of that crafty diplo-
matist Gortscbakoff, she will cross the Pruth, and,
by co-operating in straightforward style, force
Russia to come to terms such as will insure Euro-
pean tranquillity.
The military preparations of the Turkish Govern- :
most still continue to be concerted on a vast scale.

A challenge has, we understand, been received by the
Secretary of the Oxford University Boat Club, from the
Captain of the Cambridge Crow, and it is most likely that
a match will be made to come off on the Thames, over
the old course from Mortlake to Putney, where the last
gallant contest took place between the two Universities,
or at the lienley-on-Thames Begatta. The Oxonians
are anxious it should come off at the latter place, as the

last occasion would be again secured. It is confidently
stated that Oxford will be able to produce a good crow,
and there is no doubt the event will cause as much in-

Oxonians were victorious by five lengths.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, Jan. 30.—The market continues dull
and spiritless, and prices are drooping and irregular.
German houses are doing next to nothing, owing to the
frost. India goods are extremely flat. Home trade
buyers only purchase from hand to mouth. Altogether
a very unatisfactory market. Feb. I.—There has been
a very quiet market to-day ; few business transactions
being effected either in cloth or yarn, and prices remain
unaltered from the quotations of Tuesday. The demand
for the shipping trade is dull, buyers for the Mediterra-
nean market being the principal purchasers.
NOTTINGHAM.—The general position of the commerce
of this town, as regards both lace and hosiery, is far
from being in a state upon which we can report any-
thing favourable, but from this condition a reaction will
naturally occur as warm weather approaches. It is sup-
posed that the present severe weather is detrimental
to the lace and some portion of the hosiery trade. We
think differently, as under existing circumstances shop-
keepers are enabled to vend their stock of winter goods,
enabling them thereby to make room for a more exten-
sive assortment of such goods as are suitable for spring
and summer wear. It is doubtless fortunate for the
commercial world that a change in the Ministry did
not come later in the season, as such changes generally
are attended by temporary derangements of mercantile
affairs, but which at this season will not be nearly so
much felt as if it had taken place a month or two hence.
—Nottingham Journal.
LEICESTER.—Except in Government orders, every
branch of our manufacture is extremely fiat. The Ame-
rican demand for Canadian orders, usual at this season,
has fallen off. Australia is glutted up, and goods are
being re-shipped for England. Our union poor-houses
are filled with paupers, and instead of being now busy in
producing for the spring demand, manufacturers seem
paralysed. Yarns and wools maintain their price.—
