her sympathies with the contiguous Confederation.
Spain has enough to do just now, in all con-
science, in keeping a more vigilant watch than
ever upon the Carlist provinces, in the reviving
dread that CABRERA may once again prove himself
to be a not unworthy successor of the heroic
Zi.T3IALACAREGLI. To say nothing of the strenu-
ous efforts sustained by ESPARTERO in the Cortes,
in the desperate hope of yet accomplishing success-
fully the long awaited labour of a complete con-
stitutional reorganisation. Portugal, having to all
appearance abandoned, at least for a while, its
Miguelite day-dreams, ever since the unjustifiable
suppression from without of the Junta of Oporto,
seems to be contentedly watching the endeavours
made by the Regency to pave the way to the
throne of the BRAGANZAS, if not to strew the path
with the roses of popularity for the stripling
son and successor of MARIA DA GLORIA.
Having rapidly surveyed the relative situation of
the principal and secondary powers of Europe,
at a juncture when the sword of the CZAR is
crossed simultaneously by those of England,
France, Turkey, Egypt, and Sardinia—when
Austria remains with hers dubiously half-drawn
from the scabbard—when Sweden and Denmark
have each an eager but hesitating hand upon the
hilt—when Prussia would almost seem to have
twisted hers into a corkscrew : it will not be dif-
ficult to consider altogether irrespectively of the
present struggle in the Crimea—the more conspi-
cuous events which have simultaneously transpired
elsewhere, not in Europe only, but also in the
rest of the four continents, and even among our
Australian antipodes, in the Western as well as in
the Eastern hemisphere. It can hardly be other-
wise than judicious to take more than one retro-
spective glance at occurrences of this immediately
contemporaneous character. Besides, one would
be scarcely adequate for the mere task of their
epitomised enumeration.
London, England, 1855-04-04

RUSSIA.

According to letters from St. Petersburg, the
entire corps of Dragoons is now in or near the
theatre of war. This body of troops, together with
a division of light horse and various detachments
of horse artillery, amounting in all to 18,000 men,
is placed under the command of Lieut.-General
Pauloff. The immediate destination and task :of
the force is understood to be the defence of Pere-
kop. The Russians are now surrounding Odessa
with a continuous line of ramparts, to which they
are adding five forts, three of which are in close
connection with the earthworks.

AUSTRIA.
THE VIENNA CONFERENCES.

VIENNA, March 31.—The Conference held yes-
terday lasted but two hours, and there will be no
sitting until Monday. These two facts aro of
importance, as they indirectly prove that a very
great diversity of opinion prevails on the ques-
tion of the abolition of the supremacy of Russia
in the Black Sea. Until now the information
which you have received from me respecting the
Conferences has been exact, but to-day tha in-
telligence which has been acquired is contradic-
tory. It is a matter of doubt whether the Con-
ference will on Monday proceed with the third
point, or leave it in abeyance, and enter into
the fourth. One person assures me that the French
and British Ministers will insist on the settlement
of the Black Sea question before they discuss that
which bears reference to the spiritual protectorate
claimed by Russia, while another as positively
asserts the very reverse. Under such circumstances
there is nathing to be done but to take the common
sense view of things, and to suppose that the Re-
presentatives of the allied Governments must agree
in thinking that it would be mere loss of time to
touch on the fourth point until its all-important
predecessor has been satisfactorily disposed of.

TURKEY.

A letter from Constantinople of the 22(1, in the
Courrier de Marseille, says :
" Considerable sensation continued to Le produced
here, by the anticipated arrival of the Emperor and Em-
press of the French. Every preparation is being male
to give them a magnificent reception. As some of the
details of the ceremonial which is to follow the arrival
of their Majesties, should they think to visit us, are in
discord with old Mussulman usages, and with the reli-
gious. precepts of the Koran, such for instance as the
Sultan showing himself in public, giving his arm to

lesty submitted the question to his Council of Mi-
nisters, and the latter, after due deliberation,
have regulated the ceremonial as follows :—The
Grand Vizir, Reschid Pacha, will go to the Thixdanelles
and there await the arrival of the Emperor and Empress.
The Sultan will embark on board a Turkish steam-fri-
gate and go and meet their Majesties at Gallipoli. On
arriving there, their Majesties will land on the quay of
the Palace of Balta Lima, which has been selected for
their residence. The Sultan will give his arm to the
Empress and lead her as far as the door of the apart-
ment appropriated to the ladies, which in the Turkish
language bears the name of theHamerlik. There be will
present her to the first Sultana (there are seven Sultanas
who take rank accordingto the order of birth of the child-
ren they have born to the Sovereign). The first Sultana
will have her face uncovered ; will be very richly dressed
for the occasion ; and will be attended by all her
ladies in full dress, as well as by four young ladies
chosen from amongst the first Armenian families, and
who speak French and Turkish. These latter will re-
main at the disposal of the Empress as ladies of honour
and interpreters. Vie Quay, as far as the staircases,
will be covered with rich carpets. The Sultan will then
repair with the Eiiiperor Napoleon into another apart-
ment, where all the great bodies and dignitaries of the
State will be presented. The Turkish, French, and
English troops will be drawn up on either side of the
passage of the Imperial cortege, and salvoes of artillery
will be fired from the batteries and by the vessels in the
roadstead. Magnificent presents in diamonds and bril-
liants have been prepared for the Empress, and also a
lady's saddle ornamented with precious stones. The
Empress will, it is said, remain here while the Emperor,
and probably the Sultan, proceed to Sebastopol."

METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENT BILL.

Mr. Dew, the chief clerk, read a report from the
General Purposes Committee, to whom this bill had
been referred, to the effect that they had confided the
whole matter to the Remembrancer, to watch the pro-
gress of the bill, and to prepare clauses as amendments
to it, if that officer deemed such a course necessary.
Mr. Deputy HARRISON moved—" That it be referred
to the General Purposes Committee to consider the
provisions of the bill for the local management of the
metropolis."

Mr. Deputy CHRISTIE seconded the motion, which
was put and carried unanimously.
The Remembrancer said the bill stood for a second
reading on the 17th of April.
Mr. Ross—Will this commission be in time, in case
they should think it necessary to make any opposition
to the bill in Parliament ?

The Remembrancer—That will depend upon what
course of opposition they intend to take. If they intend
to oppose the second reading, it most be done previous
to that date. If they wish to oppose it in committee,
eight days later will do. You can oiliy oppose before
the 17th of April by asking some member of the House
of Commons to undertake the opposition.
Mr. T. 11. HALL-We are Lot in time to petition
against the second reading.
The Remembraucer—You cannot do that by the forms
of the house ; it is a 'private bill, and can therefore only
he opposed by members of the house. After it is read a
second time you can oppose it in committee, by present-
ing a petition seven clear days after the second read-
ing.

The Court adjourned.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The show of English wheat in to-day's marks t was but
moderate. Most kinds were in fair request, at Monday's
prices.
Foreign wheat, the supply of which was by no means
large, moved off slowly; nevertheless, the quotations were
well supported.
We had a steady sale for barley, at fall currencies, al-
though the supply was on the increase.
The malt trade was dull, on former terms.
Oats were a slow sale, and damp qualities had a down-
ward tendency.
Beans, peas, and flour realised former terms.

her sympathies with the contiguous Confederation.
Spa iti• has enough to do just now, in all con-
science, in keeping a more vigilant watch than
ever upon the Carlist provinces, in the reviving
dread that CABRERA may once again prove himself
to be a not unworthy successor of the heroic
ZU3IALACAREGIII. To say nothing of the strenu-
ous efforts sustained by ESPARTERO in the Cortes,
in the desperate hope of yet accomplishing success-
fully the long awaited labour of a complete con-
stitutional reorganisation. Portugal, having to all
appearance abandoned, at least for a while, its
Miguelite day-dreams, ever since the unjustifiable
suppression from without of the Junta of Oporto,
seems to be contentedly watching the endeavours
made by the Regency to pave the way to the
throne of the BRAGANZAS, if not to strew the path
with the roses of popularity for the stripling
son and successor of MARIA. DA GLORIA.
Having rapidly surveyed the relative situation of
the principal and secondary powers of Europe,
at a juncture when the sword of the CZAR is
crossed simultaneously by those of England,
France, Turkey, Egypt, and Sardinia—when
Austria remains with hers dubiously half-drawn
from the scabbard—when Sweden and Denmark
have each an eager but hesitating hand upon the
hilt—when Prussia would almost seem to have
twisted hers into a corkscrew : it will not be dif-
ficult to consider altogether irrespectively of the
present struggle in the Crimea—the more conspi-
cuous events which have simultaneously transpired
elsewhere, not in Europe only, but also in the
rest of the four continents, and even among our
Australian antipodes, in the Western as well as in
the Eastern hemisphere. It can hardly be other-
wise than judicious to take more than one retro-
spective glance at occurrences of this immediately
contemporaneous character. Besides, one would
be scarcely adequate for the mere task of their
epitomised enumeration.

OFFICIAL DESPATCH FROJI FIELD-
MARSHAL LORD EA'ILAINT.

(Front the London Gazette of Last Night.)
WAR-DEPARTMENT, APRIL 3.

Lord Panmure has this day received a despatch and its
enclosures, of which the following are copies, addressed to
his Lordship by Field-Mar-hal the Lord Raglan, G.C.B.:—
Before Sebastopol, March 20, 1555.
My Lord,—lt is with deep concern that I transmit for
your Lordship's information the copy of a letter which I
received on the 18th instant, from General Canrobert, an-
nouncing, with every expression of concern, the death of a
British officer, who appears to have wandered into the
French camp, and not answering the challenge that was
repeated three times was shot dead by the French sentry,
whose post he had approached.
This officer, Sur;eou Le Blanc, of the 9th Foot, occu-
pied a tent near the hopital huts of his regiment, situated
at some distance from the encampment of the regiment
itself. He was a gentleman of most temperate habits, and
was occupied in reading, when suddenly, upo❑ the alarm
sounding, he rode from his seat, leaving his candle lighted
and his book open, and walked out. He was never seen
alive afterwards.

It should be explained that shortly after the close of day
on the lith there was a very heavy tire on the loft of the
French ri4 ht, which was main taine,l for several hours. None
of the English p ,sty were attacked, but it was considered
prudent to get the greater portion of our troops under arms.
Mr. Le :Blanc was shortsighted, and probably mistook his
way from the first, the night being excessively dark, for ho
was found far distant to the left, and must have wandered
from our position without knowing the direction in which
he eras going.

Being anious to ascertain the facts of this unfortunate
case as correctly as possible, I have set on foot an inquiry
to be conducted by English and French officers, in associa-
tion with each other; and I propose to do myself the
honour to send you their report.
I have addressed a similar letter to the General Com-
manding-in-Chief.—l have, &c.,

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin of the 31st ult., In the
Constitutionnel, says :
"The accounts from Vienna to-day are not very fa-
vourable to peace. Doubts begin to be entertained of
the possihility of coming t,) an under4anding, since it
has been known that little disposition is manifested at
St. Petersburg to make concessions. The most exten-
sive armaments are going on here quietly, in order to
be ready for any event. The reports from the ambas-
sador at Paris do not testify very good feelings towards
Prussia on the part of France. The hereditary Princess
of Saxe Meiningen, daughter of Prince Albert of Prussia,
and niece of the king, diei last evening in a very sudden
and unexpected manner. The king was very much at-
tached to her, and her death has producer! great aflction
at the court. A new Austrian circular- despatch
has been received to-day in reply to the Prussian cir-
cular of the 16th of March. It is said to be couched in
language quite as sharp as that of the Prussian despatch
itself. The counter proposition which was submitted to
the Conference of Vienna by the Russian plenipoten-
tiaries on the third proposition, was previoudy commu-
nicated to the cabinet of Berlin, which approved of it."
The Hamburg Correspondent states from Berlin
that the negotiations now pending between Prussia
and Austria do not relate to the question of mo-
bilisation, as had beers erroneously supposed, but
are of the same nature as those which Prussia is
pursuing at Paris and London, viz., to de&cle on
the form under which Prussia is to accede to the
treaty of December 28.
London, England, 1855-04-04

WIIAT ARE PUBLIC SERVANTS

DISMISSED FOB?

Sir Charles Napier, on his return from the Baltic, was
ordered to strike his flag and come ashore with less of
courtesy than a real gentleman would have expended on
the dismissal of a cabman. Yet at the Seamen's Hospital
dinner Lord Palmerston and Admiral Berkeley could
scarcely find words strong enough to express their admi-
ration of Sir Charles, and their approbation of his con-
duct in the Baltic. Lord Lucan was recalled from the
Crimea ; but the posse coraitatus of Ministers join in a
chorus of eulogiums on Lord Lucan—he is faultless in
their eyes. Mr. Kennedy was dismissed from the
Woods and Forests ; but a minute is entered on the re-
cords of the Treasury praising Mr. Kennedy to the skies.
The only inference one can draw from 'these, and many
similar instances, is, that men are turned out of their
offices because they have deserved well of their country.
It would seem to follow, that for a man to be left in
office is tantamount to a declaration that he is inca-
pable or untrustworthy. If this be the case, no one can
doubt the validity of the titles by which a majority of
our existing officials hold their appointments.—Daily
News.

THE REPORTED DEATH OF DR. BARTH.—The following
is an extract of a letter from Malta, dated the 26th of
March : —" A highly interesting letter from Colonel
Herman, her Majesty's Consul at Tripoli, has reached
the island, dated March 13. It says—`You will, lam
confident, be delighted to hear that the rumour of Dr.
Barth's death was unfounded. A letter from him, dated
Kana, 15th Nov. last, reached me yesterday. He then
calculated on arriving,' at Moorzouk within three months,
but which, as ho purposed moving by the circuitous
route of Kooka, he never would accomplish. The rumour
of his death was fabricated by the ex-ruler of Bornou for
the purpose of possessing himself of a depot of supplies
that had been formed at Zejhan against the doctor's re-
turn, and in which he succeeded. The overthrow of this
man was most fortunate, otherwise the fabricated report
might have been converted into a stern reality.' "
