ORDER OF MERIT.

Lord ELCHO asked the First Lord of the Trea3ury
when the new Order of Merit for service in the field
would be instituted and distributed, and whether the
delay was attributable to the neglect of any particular
department ? . .

Lord PALMERSTON said the only cause for delay
was, that his noble friend at the head of the War De-
partment was anxious to have a report of the manner
in which such orders were distributed in foreign coun-
tries, which rep'ort had not yet been received.

ITALY.

A letter from.itome of the 10th, in the Unicers,
says—" The ceremony of laying the first stone of
the monumental column, intended to perpetuate
the proclamation of the dogma of the Immaculate
Conception, took place with great pomp three days
back. Cardinal Fransoni, notwithstanding his great
age, presided. An immense concourse of persons
were assembled, and everything passed over very
satisfactorily. The Pope left Rome on the 7th for
Castel Gandolfo, where his Holiness will remain
until Ascension Day. It is said that he will go
from Castel Gandolfo to Porto d'Azzio to give his
benediction to the chapel, which he purchased
two years ago. It, is also rumoured that the King
of Naples will join the Holy Father there."

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, May 7.—General la Marmora,
the Commander-in-Chief of the Sardinian contin-
gent, arrived here on the 6th. The French camp
of Malask is to be rased, and the troops conveyed
to Eupatoria, where the allies intend to concen-
trate a force of 100,000 men, and march them into
the interior, or, if possible, invest the north of Se-
bastopol. The Sultan was very anxious to review
the Sardinian troops, and even expressed a desire
to this effect to General la Marmora, but the
exigencies of the day decided it otherwise.

First Lord of the Admiralty, he would t%ke the opportu-
nity
of stating that he entirely acce ied to the opinion ex-
pressed in that most interesting and vain tble dozuumut
which Sir G. Cockburn had left as a leg, ey to the country, '1
that it was expedient that the First Lord of the Admiralty
should be a member of the naval profession. iie must say
that he thought the d,ble lord opposite, as S. cretary of
State for the Home Department, would sand in a much 1
stronger position in the Cabinet if he bad on one side a
distinguished officer like Sir W. Parker or Sir G. S •yinc,ur,
and on the other such a man as Sir J Burgoyne, Lord
Seaton, or Sir H. Douglas, than he did at pre.-eat H jai
Sir C. Wood on one side and his shadow on the other.
Lord PANMURE said he had one remark to make in
reference to the Transport Board. The moment the war
was concluded the Transport Board, as at present consti-
tuted, would cease to exist. It was wrong, however, to say
that the Transport Board was not in communication with
the War-office ; for, although in more immediate commu-
nication with the Admiralty, the head of that board trans-
acted business with the War Department every week.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGEI said that, if a member
of the Transport Board communicated with the Secretary
for War and took his orders, he sho
uld like to know what,
in fact? was the authority left to Captain Milne at the
Admiralty?
Lord PANMURE replied that the head of the Trans-
port Board communicated to the War Department for the
purpose of ascertaining the business which was to be trans-
acted. The official business was conducted between the
Secretary of State and the Board of Admiralty in the usual
manner.
The Intestacy (Scotland) Bill went through committee.
Their to adjourned at a quarter past 7 o'clock.

Mr. W. LOCKHART presented two petitions unani-
mously adopted by the Commissioners of Supply of the

WOOLLEN TRADE.

(Front the Leeds Mercury of (Ms day.)
• LitEDs, May 18.— We have no alteration of any :n3por-
tance to report, in the state of the woollen market. There a
has been good business done in the cloth-halls this week.
On Saturday, as well as on Tuesday, the markets were
of an animated character, and although there was not
quite so much cloth cleared out as on the previous
week, still the sales were quite equal to a full average.
There have also been considerable deliveries of cloth
direct at the merchants' warehouses during the week.
As the demand for the spring trade of the home markets
is now nearly satisfied, there have been very few buyers
in the town, and the trade in the warehouses has been
rather quieter during the current week. The shipping
houses are doing oniy a very limited business.
HUDDERSFIELD, May 15.—The market today was
somewhat le.s buoyant than on the preceding Tuesday.
The protracted cold weather may have checked the de-
mand for the usual spring goods. There is on the whole,
however, taking the warehouses and cloth halls together,
an average demand for back broad cloths of the best
and mediae) qualities ; kerseys, unions, and novel pat-
ters of fancy woollens. Fancy ye tings continue in
dull request. Thera is more activity in the wool busi-
ness, and prices are without any material change.

THE i.E81".:Y.-ITTC.),,V OP
AIVTICIP,AILD RECALL t' +' Lu 1J
RAGLAN.

The Paris correspondent of the Times, his
I.tter_reoeiv_ed thisafternoon, says :
" The malady under which it has been for some
'Odle :said that._ General Canrobert is suffering-is in-
flammation of the eyes. But this is not, perhan
the only or the real'eause of his retirement, as such
a malady ought equally to disqualify him for the
command of a corps d'armee. A man whose health is
so far impaired as we are given to understand by
the foregoing, ought not to continue in the coirmand
of even a brigade in active service, much less a
corps d'armee. The fact is,, that General Canrebert
has been found unequal to his position ; the Be: peror,
ho appointed him to succeed Marshal St. Artiand,
has for some time past perceived hth mistake, and
the rumour --of ill-health which has prevailed for
some weeks is believed to have been circulated ex-
pressly to prepare the public for his removal. So
soon as it became known that General Pelissier was
!mined:to a command in the Crimea it was, antici-
pated that Canrobert's time was nearly up. , Pelis-ier's
name has been long before the world. He is not said
to have given many proofs of possessing the higher
qualities of a great commander, but fur. daring, fer-
tility of invention in surprises, and indomitable cou-
rage, he is unsurpassed. It was he who planned
and strongly 'urged the affair of the night of - the
2d, which Lai such a fortunate result. His manner
is said, however, to be anything but gentle ; he is a
rough soldier, and is careless about practising those
courtesies which made Catirobert Stand so well with
Lord Raglan. I have no doubt that General Peiis-
sier has been strongly recommended to treat his
gentler confrere with- all due deference, and he will
do his best to continue on good terms with his lord-
ship. Bitt a camp life in the African deserts is dif-
ferent from the quiet routine of the H,,r3e Guards,
and some, who pretend to 'be well acquainted with
General Pelissier, would not be surprised if the English
Government found it nece,sary before long to recall
Lord Raglan. The appointment of Pelissier is under-
stood here as an indieetion that something more than
usually vigorous is-intended.

"Thera is a rumour regarding the resignation of Can-
robed, which is certainly in harmony with his chival-
rous character. It is this—that, having received au
imperative order to assault, he replied that it would
cost 40,000 lives—that he would not, accordingly, take
on himself the responsibility of such an order, but that
he was ready to transfer the command to another, and
place himself at the head of the body doomed to be
sacrificed."

ORDER OF MERIT.

Lord ELCHO asked the First Lord of the Treft,ury
when the new Order of Merit for service in the field
would be instituted and distributed, and whether• the
delay was attributable to the neglect of any particular
department ?
Lord PALMERSTON said the only cause for delay
was, that his noble friend at the head of the War De-
partment was anxious to have a report of the manner
in which such orders were distributed in foreign coun-
tries, which report had not yet been received.

DENMARK.

COPENHAGEN, May 13.—The sitting of the Coun-
cil of State convened yesterday, and presided over
by the King, was not, as generally supposed, for
the purpose of discussing the electoral law for the
new eoinined parliament of the nation, but on a
subject of much deeper importance for Denmark—
the qnestion of peace or war. The British and
French envoys have received instructions to com-
municate to the Danish cabinet that their Govern-
ments can no longer acknowledge the neutrality of
Denmark, but insist in the most serious manner on
her declari❑g openly as a friend or foe.
Telegraphic accounts received from Stockholm
state that the ambassadors of the Western Powers
have presented a similar categorical demand, in the
shape of an ultimatum to the Swedish Government,
in consequence of which the militia (bevering) has
been ordered to be mobilised. As every Swede be-
tween the ag es of 20 and 25 years is enrolled in the
Severing, and bound to serve, this arm of the ser-
vice numbers no less than 95,295 men, to which
must be added the militia of Gothland, which has
its own local corps, amounting to 7,620 men ; so
that the effezlt of the order for mobilisation will be
to place upwards of 100,000 men under arms, in
addition to the regular army and the so-called
indelta troops, numbering together 40,000 men.

just adopted a bill for grantiPg a supplementary
credit of 1,571,000 f. to the War Department, to
make up for the insufficiency of the budget, for

from existing dearness. The Chamber has also
decided that the bill for according a credit of
9,400,000 f. for the execution of defensive works
in Belgium, shall be taken into consideration at
the same tithe as that, previously presented, de-
manding 2,435,000±. for the same_ object.

the principal parts will be sustained by Mr. H. Drayton,
Mr. G. Perren, Mr. G. Yarn°ld, Mr. Bowler, and Mrs.
H. Drayton. The services of Flexmore and Madame
Auriol have been secured for the ballet, and Miss

PASSPORTS TO PARIS.

Mr. WILSON said passports would be issued free to

visit the Paris Exhibition, to be available for one month.

NEW WRIT FOR BATH.

Sir J. W. JO LLIFFE moved for a new writ for Bath,
in the place of Mr. Phinn, appointed Second Secretary
to the Admiralty.
After a few remarks from Sir C. Wood, Sir F. Thesi-
ger, and Sir F. Kelly,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
he received this morning an application from Mr. Phinn
for the stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds to enable
him to vacate his seat. The grant of an office under the
Crown was brought to him for signature, and he signed it
this morning. He believed it was the intention of the Sec-
retary to the Treasury to move for a new writ this evening,
with the corr'ct name of the office which Mr. Phinn ap-
plied to accept, as it was not the stewardship of the
Chiltern Hundreds. (Hear.)
After a few words from Mr. DISR &ELI, who re-
commended that some distinct understanding should be
come to as to the practice in future in such cases,
Sir W. JOLLIFFE withdrew his motion.

CADET APPOINTMENTS TO THE ARMY.

In reply to Mr. H. A. BRUCE,
Mr. MONSELL said that the system which had pre-
vailed at Woolwich with regard to the appointment of
cadets had been exclusively that of nomination. Within
the last few days, however, the system had come under
the knowledge of the Secretary of State, and as a consi-
derable number of cadets were required in the

Engineers and Artillery, the expediency of alter.
ing the present mode of appointment was deemed
necessary. The pressing emergency for these cadets
rendered it impossible that any permanent arrangement
could be at once made, but a plan of selection had been
adopted which was a great improvement upon the old
one, which would be basedpnn the result of a public
examination, showing why. use they had made of the

means afforded to them of acquiring information in their

profession. (Hear, hear.) By these means the best
men would be selected.
THE CRIMEAN MEDALS.
Mr. STAFFORD asked the Under Secretary for
War what arrangements had been made for forwarding
the Crimean medal to the- sick and wounded soldiers
who were at present at home with their friends ?
Mr. F. PEEL said that 2,000 medals were in the
hands of Hunt and Roskill, for delivering to those sol-
diers who had returned to this country from the Crimea,
and were not present at the ceremony on the 18th inst.,
and would be forwarded to them by the firm he had
mentioned. He might take that opportunity of
also informing the house that arrangements
had been made to send 8,000 medals per f.rtnight
to the Crimea for distribution there ; and further, that
those soldiers who received medals on the 18th would
shortly receive certificates upon Hunt and Roskill, in
order,to obtain their clasps, to which they might be
entitled.

to
to Lord
required
oye to hasurgine ad
thee
limitation of her naval forces is t• insult her ; to demand se-
curities for the independence of Europe is an offensive and
unfounded suspicion • it is for ourselves, on the• contrary, to
make concessions and to relax our demands. Lord Grey can.
not have so slight a. knowledge of his own countrynten as to
doubt that they would reject with universal scorn so ignoble
a proposition ; but he might also have foreseen that this lan-
guage is precisely that which is most likely to induce the
Russian Cabinet to persevere in its pretensions, to reject the
last chances of peace, and to fall back on the arguments of
Prince Gortschakoff, endorsed as they are by Lord Grey.
The cause of the Allied Powers against Russia was briefly
but forcibly stated by Lord Clarendon, who followed Lord
Grey, and by all the other Peers who addressed. the House.
Nothing could be more striking than the effect of the memo-
rabic words quoted by Lord Clarendon from a speech
,by the
late EarLGrey, wbicli sounded like a remonstrance from the
tomb against the recreant language of him who now bears
that once honoured name. The Foreign Secretary stated
clearly and firmly his unabated conviction of the vast designs
of Russia against the independence of Europe, of the enor-
mous preparations she had made to execute those designs,
and of the necessity of adhering without modification to the
full objects we have pursued in this war. These being
the opinions we 'have unijormly- defended, we beard
them with pleasure from the . Minister most conversant
with our foreign relations --and—with the negotiations
said to be still in progress ; but, taking our stand upon this
broad and intelligible basis, on which we rejoice that Lord
Clarendon has placed the policy of the Government, it may
fairly be asked what negotiations are at this momentipossible,
and whether even the concession of the Four Points, if it had
been made by Russia, would really have provided against these
dangers, and attained our object ? To these questions we can
only answer, that we prefer the chances of war to_the chances
of negotiation on such terms, and that we shall be infinitely
nearer a safe and lasting peace after one decisive engagement
than upon the acceptance 'of a string of
preliminaries. That
we believe to be the honest opinion ofP li ent and of the

A Monmouthshire gentleman, who has, we hear,
never tirade a wager upon a racing event in his life,
dreamed, about a fortnight since, that he had seen, in
the Evening Sun paper, Wild Dayrell running in to win
at the head of a ruck. his fact he told to Aeveral of
his friends, most of whom took the odds on Wild
Dayrell, and are now exulting in having realised hand-
some sums.
