CALCULATIONS ON THE MINISTRY.-
What statesman can best guide the affairs of the nation, and
minlstd• to the exigencies of the times, is a question very justly can-
vassed. Comfort is rainis.ered to everybody by the seasonable
clothing manufactured by E. Moans and Sox.
That every one in the City, in,the country, and in all parts of the
world may have the ministry of the newest and most appropriate
articles of dress,. E. Moans and Sox have recently improved the
styles and quality, and reduced the price of all goods they submit to
the inspection of the public.
At E. MOSES and Sox's the most commodious Clothing, Hat,
Ho.iery, and Boot and Shoe departments, are connected with the
most cpmprehensive Wholesale business in the world. This offers
better investments for Merchants, Captains, and Emigrants than any
other merchandise can secure.

SPECIAL NOTICE.—UntiI March 1,1855,:E. MOSES and SON'S
ESTABLISHMENTS will be CLOSED at EIGHT O'CLOCK EV ERT

THE PIEDMONT PARLIAMENT.

The discussion on the treaty of alliance of Pied-
mont with the Western Powers was continued in
the Chamber of Deputies at Turin on the sth.
The following is a brief summary of the proceed-
ings :
Some members having complained that Ministers bad
not laid the documents relating to the treaty before the
Chamber,
Count Cavour explained that he considered such a
course prejudicial to the public interest.
M. Valerio moved that the protocol to Jan. 10 might
be delivered to the President of the Chamber that he
might show it privately to any member who might wish
to read it. _

This motion was agreed to by the Chamber.
Count Solaro della Margherita, a member of the
Right, who, in a previous sitting, had declared that he
was still undecided whether he was to vote for er
against the treaty, then rose, and said that as so impor-
tant a resolution as that of entering into a league with
the Western Powers against Russia could not have been
taken by the Cabinet without very weighty reasons, he
would not hesitate to vote, even though those reasons
were not previously communicated to him.
M. Biancheri, on the contrary, declared, that as the
policy of Piedmont had been, since 1848, founded on
the principle of Italian nationality, and as the treaty ap-
peared to him a deviation, if not a desertion, from that
principle, he would oppose it.
M. Gallenga maintained that the blood of the bravo
Piedniontese army was too precious to be thrown away
in the Crimea.
Count Revel (of the Extreme Right) declared he
would veto for tho treaty, though he thought it onerous
in a financial point of view.
The discussion was then adjourned to the following
day.

DESTRUCTION OF TWENTY THOUSAND

RUSSIANS.

A letter received from Malta, dated Feb. 21,
contains the following :

The Arabia, one of the Cunard line, has per-
formed the trip from Constantinople to Malta in
the incredible short space of 63 hours.
This vessel brought a report that 45,000 Russians
had marched for Sebastopol, under the command
of the Grand Duke Michael ; but they had lost
20,000 by the ice thawing, and consequently de-
taining them long on the road. The remainder
had reached Sebastopol, but in a pitiable con-
dition.

The following changes are to be made in the
army :—Sir Colin Campbell to have the First Divi-
sion ; Sir John Campbell to have the Highland
Brigade ; and General Bentinck to command the
Fourth Division. The Brigade of Guards are to
join the Highland Brigade under Sir John Camp-
bell.

S lONER S.

In reply to a questienfiemiir. SPOONER, as to whe-
ther a copy of the evidence taken by the Commissioners
had been supplied to Dr. Cullen,
Lord PALMERSTON said that before the report
was drawn up a question arose as to the selection of
certain questions regarding ecclesiastical discipline as
connected with Maynooth. One of the commissioners
and the secretary were desirous of having the
opinion of Dr. Cullen, as one of the trustees
of the college, on these questions ; but Dr. Callen re-
plied that he could not answer the question unless he
was furnished with the evidence on which these ques-
tions arose, and accordingly that evidence was commu-
nicated to him. Dr. Cullen, however, misunderstanding
.
probably the purpose for which was placed in his
hands and the particular discretion confided in him,
took it to Rome, and without the knowledge of the com-
mission had a portion of it translated into Italian. So
far, therefore, as the Commissioners were concerned
they were not to blame, except, so far as their prudence
was concerned, in placing the evideace is the hands of
Dr. Cullen.

THE " KENNEDY CASE."
Mr. BLAND (previously to Sir J.V. Shelley bringing
on his motion on this subject) wished to ask the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, whether, notwithstanding the
Treasury Minute of the 10th of May last, wherein the
First Lord of the Treasury and Chancellor of the Exche-
quer are stated to have considered the office theretofore
held by Mr. Kennedy vacant, and notwithstanding Mr.
Kennedy's own letter, mentioning himself as dismissed
fTotn such office as from May last, he, Mr. Kennedy,
had continued to draw the salary in respect of such offic
and, if so, up to what time, and for what services ?
Mr. WILSON, in reply, stated, that after making in-
quiry into this matter, he had found that at the time when
the minute in question Hs; passed declaring the office held
by Mr. Kennedy vacant, after that gentleman's letter
in which he stated his belief that he had been dismissed
it became a question with the Treasury as to what was
to be done under the circumstances. At that time a
motion was before the house at the instance of his hon.
friend the member for West Surrey, for a committee of
inquiry into this subject, and the Government did
not feel by any means justified in filling up the
vacancy in the face of that motion. Other circum-
stances had since happened which prevented the situa-
tion from being filled up. On inquiry as to the course
to be pursued for the fulfilment of the duties of the office
in the interim, the Treasury were advised that Mr.
Kennedy's patent could not be worked until his succes-
sor had been appointed. Another difficulty arose as le
the Act of Parliament under which that gentleman's
office was held, and which empowered the Treasury to allo.

APPOINTMENTS.

Lieutenant —Jocelyne J. W. Jervis (1850) to the coast
guard.

Masters—Richard Stokes (1840), from the Neptune,
to the Duke of Wellington, 131, screw ship, at Ports-
mouth, as master of the fleet ; William Mills (1841), to
be additional master of the Fisgard, 42, guard-ship at
Woolwich ; John N. Willis (1846), to the Hecate, 6,
steam-sloop, at Woolwich.
Second Master—James H. Ryan (1851), from the
Arrogant, to the Volcano, steain-smithery, at Woolwich.
Naval Cadet—H. T. Stephenson, from the Tartar to
the Royal Albert, 121, flag-ship, in the Black Sea, for
disposal.

RETIREMENT OF THE DIRECTOR-GENERAL
OF THE NAVAL MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.

Sir William Burnett, K. 11., after serving 33 years as
chief of the naval medical department, has placed his re-
signation in the hands of Government. Sir William has
attained the patriarchal age of nearly fourscore years,
and has set a good example by retiring at a moment when
the requirements of the times demand the talents of
younger anl more vigorous men. Sir William's
successor has not yet been named, but rumour mentions
Sir John Liddell, Dr. Bryson, and others. Whoever
may be the officer selected, of this we are satisfied, that
the Admiralty v.i!l have much to answer for if, after the
late exposures which have occurred in the sister service,
and the unfair treatment which has been awarded to the
assistant surgeons of the navy, an incapable man should
be nominated.

RUSSIA.

The Independance Beige pullishes the following
letter, dated Hamburg, Feb. 22 ;—" Since the in-
tention of the Western Powers to land an army in
Finland has been known. in St. Petersburg, the
Russian Government direr•ts its most serious at-
tention to that quarter, The last accounts received
here from Finland, .r.ia Sweden, announce that
the military chiefs Cii'splay the greatest activity in
placing in a state of defence all the points along
the coast of the, two Gulfs where landings might
be effected."

A letter from St. Petersburg, 17th, in the Con-
stitictionnA says :—" The Grand Duke Constan-
tine has lately paid several visits to Cronstadt,
where -military works are in course of execution,
and several new batteries being constructed. The
Czar !himself has also made several excursions
there, in order to satisfy himself that the arma-
ment of the forts in and around St. Petersburg is

ROYAL VISIT TO THE HAYMARET
THEATRE.

Last evening her Majesty and Prince Albert, accom-
panied by the Princess Alice, honoured this theatre with
a visit. The pieces selected for the occasion were the
lessee's successful comedetta of Married Life, in which
he appeared in his original part ; the new Spanish ballot
The Bullfighter, The Balance of Comfort, and A Gallieian
Fete. The fascinating Perea Nena put forth all her
powers, and never have we seen her dance to such per-
fection as she did last evening. The cachuchas aapa-
teados and sequidillas, previously witnessed " over the
way," all sink into nothingness when compared with the
boleros and fandangos of the vivacious and enthusiastic
Senora. We cannot marvel at the pleasure the royal
party seemed to experience in witnessing the twinkling
feet of Nena as she performed her wonderful and ha.
pulsive national dances, for where could we find a
parallel for her new ones? In them we have all those points
which have stamped her as one of thegreatest artistes of the
day. The advance and recoil, the pursuit, and the
astonishing whirl at the conclusion, are all given, and
given with greater effect, it it be possible, than they
were last year. The public last season had to be made
familiar with true Spanish dancing, and therefore they
did not then enter into the spirit of it as they now do ;
and the royal party, we were delighted to see, were no
exception to the general rule, and amongst the
applauders of Perea not the least enthusiastic were the
occupants of the royal box. Although the visit of her
Majesty was kept a secret, the house was crowded in
every part, and we had the satisfaction to observe that
no attempt was made to intrude upon the privacy of
the royal party.

THE TRANSPORT ALMA.

We (Times) published some time since an extract of a
letter complaining, as it appears falsely, of the accom-
modation on board the steam-ship Alma, which had
then been just taken up for the transport service to the
Crimea. The following letter, addressed by all the
passengers to the captain, and dated Balaklava, proves
how unfounded was the statement of our correspondent:
—" Dear sir,---We have reason to believe that you,
even snore than ourselves, have felt annoyed by a
letter regarding the Alma which appeared some
time ago in the Times, proceeding certainly from
none of us. On this account therefore particu-
larly we wish to express to you how very much in-
debted all of us who have been on board with you
till you reached this place have been to you for the
unvarying kindness and attention you have shown us,
how convinced we are of your own and your officers'
excellent seamanship, and how exceedingly comfortable
we have been on board ; at the same time, while we
state this more particu'arly with the wish of removing
from your mind any painful feelings the letter referred
to may have caused, we are glad of this opportunity of
conveying to you our thanks, and the assurance of our
good wishes for you wherever you go."
Among the arrivals in the Britannia of naval invalids
from the Black Sea fleet is that of Lieutenant Marcus
Smithett, son of Captain Luke Smithett, of Dover, and
grandson of Sir John Hamilton, a veteran servant of
the Crown, now 90 years of age. It will be remembered
that Lieutenant Smithett served in the Tribune, 21,
screw, at the Sebastopol attack, and was seriously
burnt in gallantly assisting Captain Moore in blowing
up the enemy's fort on the Circassian coast, Lieutenant
Smithett having himself fired the train. Lieutenant
Smithett has been suffering all the way home from the
external and internal injuries he received when he was
blown up with the fort.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 15.—Within these last
few days a rumour has been afloat iu respect to the
approaching retirement of Lord Redclift'e. Geu.
Rose, in this eventuality, is also reported as dos-
tined to the succession. AU concur in thinking that
our Government could not possibly make a better
choice than General Rose for the post of ambassa-
dor at Constantinople.

AUSTRIA.

'VIENNA, Feb. 24.—A few days since the Em-
peror presided at a Cabinet Council, at which, as is
said, the Eastern question with the approaching
Peace Congress was taken into consideration. As
soon as the Council was over Baron von Bess had
an audience of the Emperor.
Prince Gortschakoff continues to affirm that his
Imperial master entertains the most peaceful in-
tentions, but still all the news received from
Russia bears a warlike character. Telegraphic
intelligence has to-day reached this city that
40,003 men are to occupy Revel and the neighbour-
hood. Troops coming from the interior of Russia
will be concentrated along the coast from Riga,
in order to prevent a landing on the part of the
Allies. On the 14th the fixed ice in the port of
Odessa extenaed two wersts into the sea.
