Two regiments of French cavalry under General D'Al-

Brigade under Colonel Cameron, 42d Regiment, and a
battalion of Zotiaves, made a corresponding movement on

REMOVAL of IRISH POOR from ENGLAND
and SCOTLAND ; showing the nature of the Law of Re-
muval, the Mode in which it is Administered, the Hardships which
it Inflicts, and the necessity for its Absolute and Unconditional
Repeal.

The Commissioners of Inland Revenue call the attention of persons
selling Playing Cards to the provisions of the Stamp Act of 16 and 17
Vie., c. 59.
A practice having prevailed of selling Playing Cards in packs with-
out a Stamped Ace of Spades, under the pretence of their being Waste
Cards, by reason of a corner of each card being cut off, the Act above
alluded to has provided against the continuance of this description of
fraud upon the revenue. It enacts that no Playing Cards, except
such as should he'bona tide spoiled and rendered unfit for use as Play-
ing Cards in the process of manmacture' and which shall have a cor-
ner cut I a as provided by a former Act, nor any Cards conunonly
called Picture Cards or Court Cards, shall be deemed Waste Cards ;
and that no Playing Cards, except Waste Cards, shall be sold other-
wise than in packs, each pack containing fifty-two cards of the tour
usual suits of thirteen cards each, including an Ace of Spades duly
Stamped, tied up together in the manner required by law.
It is further provided by the said Act, that if any person shall sell,
or expose, or keep for sale, any Playing Cards, not being a pack of
cards as aforesaid, and the saute not being bona tide Waste Cards
within th, meaning of that Act, he shalt, for every pack, parcel, or
separate quantity ',>!-• cards so sold, or exposed, or kept for sale, tor-
ffit, if not a Licensed 2daker Cards, the sum of 101., and
of a Licen,td Maker, 291. ; and that all eards so sold, oftexposed, or
kept for sale, shall h.., forfeited, sad may ha seized and taken by any
ohhiecr ,rr Inlaid Revenue.

It is farther enacted, that if in any proceeding a question shall
arise whether any cards were bona lido Waste Cards or not, proof
that they were 60 shall lie on the party soling or keeping the same
for sale.

The Board of 'lnland Revenue having reason to believe that, not-
withstanding the provisions above-mentioned, a practice still exists
of selling Playing Cards, under the pretence of their being Waste
Cards, as also that Cards approaching in size to ordinary Playing
Cards, and tit for use as such, are sold without a Stamped Ace of
Spades, and without being tied up and labelled as by law required,
under tn, denomination of " Toy Cards," think it right to caution all
shopkeepers and others selling Cards, that they will strictly enforce
the law as above stated—By order of the Board.

Before Sebastopol, December 26.
My Lord Dake,—l have nothing to report to your Grace
to-day.
The rain which prevailed on ►turday was succeeded by
snow on Sunday, and it was almost the worst day I ever
saw. At night it froze, and the frost has continued ever
since, without being severe, but it has not as yet tended
to dry the ground, still in a lamentable state.
Every effort is making that the state of the roads will
permit to bring up ammunition and the materials of siege,
and General Canrobert is in this respect affording us every
possible assistance.

The garrison keeps up a heavy fire upon oar trenches,
particularly at night, and your Grace will regret to see by
the returns which I enclose, that we daily sustain some
casualties.—l have, &c., RAGLAN.

taking oa board troops for the Crimea.
The Libertas, No. 95 sailing ship, passed Woolwich
yesterday on her way up to Deptford, to be laden with
stores for conveyance to the Black Sea.

The Alfred, screw-steamer transport, was enabled to

same day went up to Deptford to be fitted as a baking
establishment in the Black Sea. It is stated that
another vessel will be fitted as a flour-mill, which, with
tho baking establishment, will supply sweet new bread
to the troops in the Crimea.

It being impracticable to obtain a sufficient number of
steamers to perform the present requirements of the
transport service, Government are about to engage sail-
ing transports, of from between 400 and 500 tons and
upwards, to convey stable huts and other stores to the
Crimea. Tenders will be received on Tuesday next.

THE HUTS FOR THE CRIMEA.
Amity, screw transport (177), has been ordered from
the river to Southampton, to receive a cargo of huts for

barkation to fully load her, she will proceed to Ports-
mouth to complete with whatever stores may most pres-
singly require shipment.
The Board of Ordnance have directed that freight may
be obtained to the Crimea for 1,000 tons of hospital huts
capable of accommodating 2,000 men. They will be ready
for shipment in about ten days.
French huts continue to arrive per railway, and are
being speedily placed on board vessels chartered to con-
vey them.

the "West Indies, hauled alongsidethe dockyard on Mon-
day to receive them, but was ordered off into the harbour
channel, to make room for the Candia to disembark her
sick and wounded, whereby the troops which were to
take passage i❑ her (detachments of the 36th and 46th),
which arrived from Preston, were not shipped until 3
o'clock yesterday morning. The ship was towed out of
Portsmouth harbour yesterday (ncon), on their way to
their destination.

A NEW BALL FOR RIFLES.
A very superior ball for rifles has been invented by a
resident of Sheffield ; it has been subjected to the-se-
verest test at the barracks in that town, and, it is said,
has proved superior to the Minie

SMALL-PO'c: IN TIIE 82D REGIMENT.
Small-pox having unfortunately broken out in the 82d
P..giment, their embarkation in the Bahiana, transport
No. 160, at Liverpool, for conveyance to Corfu, which

considerably delayed. They will proceed to Preston this
day for medical inspection, where they will remain until
all danger is past.

ROYAL ARTILLERY FOR THE CRIMEA.
The Canadian, steam-transport, 1,764 tons, No. 176,
has been ordered to proceed from Liverpool to Wool-
wich, where she will receive on board, for conveyance to
the Crimea, four companies of the Royal Artillery, filling
up with hospital huts and stores.

MISCELLANEOUScommissary
U storekeepers are to em-
bark at Greenhithe early next week in the Peninsular,
steam-transport No. 172, for passage to Constantinople.
The Candia, Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-

.testerday the notices required in respect to the Rus-
sian prize Industrie, of which J. A. U. Sohlossrnan was
late the master, seized in the port of Cardiff under simu-
lated papers by Mr. Catchpole, the Customs' officer of
the port of Hull, having expired, the Court of Admiralty
will proceed forthwith to her condemnation.

Brevet-Major Bridge, 84th Regiment (York and Lan-
caster), died on Monday at Chatham barracks. He had
been in that garrison about three years. He returned
from India in 1851 he went out with the regiment in
1542. He has also served in the West Indies, from
1831 to 1838, when he returned to England from Ja-
maica, and received the appointment as adjutant to the
corps. He first entered the service in 1828, and was
made brevet-major in 1854. He has been medically at-
tended for the last two months. He was much respected
by all classes in the garrison.

E MIL.
The West York RHifles, now as lAsembled under the
command of the Hon. E. G. Monckton at Pontefract,
are in a very efficient state. They are, however, be-
tween 200 and 300 short of their complement, and as
yet they have not given many recruits to the army.
Their general conduct in the town is highly spoken of
by the inhabitants.

The East Suffolk Artillery, under the command of
Colonel Adair, M.P. for Cambridge, expect to march in
detachments at the end of this week ; 200 will march
from Ipswich, to be stationed in detachments at Lan.
guard-fort, Harwich ; Tilbury Fort, and at Hull garrison,
at each of which stations the men will join a party of
the Royal Artillery, so that they will have the benefit of
serving with regular troops.
The 2d Regiment of the Warwickshire Militia, on
Friday last, had about 80 volunteers, 40 of whom were
accepted. Frnm them and others, two have joined the
Royal Sappers and Miners, two the 6th Enniskillen
Dragoons, 27 the Bth Hussars, one the 00th, and 24 the
Rifle Brigade. Captain Ward, of the 18th Royal Irish,
superintended the voluntary enlistment.
The Ist Derby Militia, Colonel Lord Waterpark, mus-
tered on Friday, and were embodied ; in consequence of
a great many of the men having ♦olunteered into the
line the present strength of the regiment is only 476.
The Berkshire Militia mustered on Monday. The
whole of the volunteers will undergo medical inspection,
and those unfit for the line be dismissed the regiment.
The City of London Royal Artillery Corps is to be
considerably augmented, and yesterday circulars were
issued inviting ♦olunteers.

TILE CZAR'S MOTIVES POI? GRASPING AT
EXTENDED DOMINION.

The French and English batteries have again been
supplied with ordnance, and the Russian fleet is as her•
metically sealed up as ever. The Muscovite is in the
toils ; the Tinchal has closed around him. One terrible
effort, and Sebastopol—the Crimea—is wrested from
him.

With such prospects before them, it is impossible to
tbit,the Fretibh or English Governments can be
so insane as to contemplate the possibility of a peace
upon any other terms than the cession of the Crimea by
Russia—at the least. One wild emotion of rage would
convulse the armies, which already feel it crumbling in
their grasp, were the quarry which they have suffered
so intrili to bring to bay, to he snatched from their hands
at the moment they are in act to pounce upon it, And
a contagious thrill Of indignation would rush along the
veins of the Allied nations, full-fraught with danger to
any Government that should interfere to break the fall
of Russia.

We will not believe that any dishonouring, patched-
up, resultless peace can be in contemplation. Frcm
the same sources whence we derive the information
that negotiations have been renewed at Vienna, we
have assurance of the Allies having stipulated that no
suspension of hostilities shall take place while these
negotiations are in progress. Assured that the war is
to be urged on with unrelenting vigour, we can look on
with comparative indifference at the insidious attempts
of Russia to detach Austria from the Western Alliance,
convinced that they must prove abortive.
Austria, though timid and hesitating—and they who
know most intimately the actual condition and imme-
diate prospects of that Government can best feel what
excuses it has for being so—is now too well aware of the
real aims of the Czar lightly to throw itself loose from
the Anglo-French Alliance. In addition to the heredi-
tary policy of the House of Romanoff—in addition to the
pressure brought to bear upon Nicholas by the Muscovite
or &laconic party—the Czar has had a private and per-
sonal motive for taking, at the present time, the rash
step he has ventured upon. An unnatural discord dis-
turbs the peace of his family. His sons Alexander and
Constantine hate each other. The former, of a mild, per-
haps effeminate, disposition, clings to that section of
the court and nobility which affects the civilisation of
Europe ; the latter, of a hardier temperament, sympa-
thises with the Muscovite party, represented by Men-
schikoff and the Primate of Moscow. Nicholas is haunt-
ed by the dread that after his death the tragedy of the
Theban brothers may be re-enacted in his family, and
that the unnatural feud may extend its influence beyond
the walls of the palace, and shake the empire even to
dissolution. To avert, if possible, this evil appears to
have been at least one of his motives for grasping at
extended dominion. He has sought an independent
kingdom wherewith to portion off his younger son and
induce him to leave the rights of the elder born uncon-
tested. The throne of Constantinople—the vision that
has haunted the Czars ever since the days of Catherine
—first attracted his eyes ; and hence his attempts to
ound the English Minister at his Court as to whether
England—if allowed to seize upon Egypt, the high-
way to India—would connive at the Russians retain-
ing hold of Constantinople. But the campaign of
1849 had suggested an alternative chance ; and hence
the endeavours of his emissaries ten or twelve months ago
(as we stated yesterday) to learn whether the Hungarian
Magnates would be contented to purchase Russia's re-
cognition of their national-independence by accepting
Constantine as their King. These intrigues are now
known to the Austrian Government, which is therefore
aware that Russia, intent on western spoil, has been
sitting ready for the spring, hesitating whether to make
it southward upon Turkey or eastward upon Hungary.
Did the question lie between the people of Hungary
and the house of Hapsburg, it would clearly be the. duty
France and England to abstain from interfering in
such a purely domestice quarrel. But if the question
shall be raised as to whether France and England ought
to stand aloof in the event of the house of Romanoff at-
tempting to snatch Hungary from the house of Hapsburg
a very different answer may be given. It is not likely
that the inhabitants of Hungary will feel any very lively
wish to be handed over from the rule of Austria to that
of Russia, or that they would have any chance of bet-
tering their conditien thereby. An aggression by the
Czar on Hungary would be a case exactly parallel to his
aggression on Turkey. Matters standing thus, might it
not be well for the Hungarian patriots to try whether
they cannot come to terms with the house of Hapsburg
Even the statesmen of Vienna must by this time begin
to suspect that, though arms and foreign allies may re-
pel foreign aggression, the permanence of a dynasty
among brave and intelligent people must be assured by
oothermeans. Nay, there is some faint reason for be-
lieving that the Austrian Government begins to perceive
that the removal of so dangerous a neighbour as the
Muscovite from its frontier would be cheaply purchased
by the cession of its own share in the spoils of Poland.
These things are, it is true, as yet but problematical--
dimly seen in the distance of possibility ; yet they are
not altogether undeserving of the consideration of the
friends of national independence and good government
in Europe.—Daily News.

THE RENT OF THE CITT TOLLS.—The city tolls,
which have just been abolished, were rented by a con-
tractor. From an official document prepared by the
Chamberlain, it appears that the rent paid in 1852 and
1853 was 5,810/. ayear. Ono quarter was paid in
vance of last year, ,year.
to 1,452/. 10s. Of the
13,072/. 10s. received for the city tolls in two years and
a quarter, the sum of 1,3311. 10s. 2d. has been applied
in the payment of interest and discharge of balance of
moneys raised under the authority of the Act of Par-
liament of Ist and 2d Victoria, chap. 83, towards the
formation of a new street from Holborn-bridge, in the
City of London, to Clerkenwell-green. The balance
remaining to the credit of the city's cash has been ap-
pliid to the purpose for which the general funds of tae
oorporatioA were applicable.
