TICE COMING CONGRESS.

It is said, on authority to which some credit may be
attacked, that the Emperor Nicholas insists on the ad-
mission of Prussia as a party to the proposed Congress
at Vienna. It is needless to say the Allies will never
consent to this unless Prussia enter into their alliance.

If Prussia persists in her refusal to accede to our views
and our alliance, and if Russia be absolute in her demand
for the admission of Prussia to the Congress, it is ob-
vious that it will not meet, as the principals cannot
agree upon preliminaries.—Morning Post.

INCREASE 01 TEE GUARDS.

It is stated to be the intention of Government to in-
crease the strength of the three battalions Guards in
the Crimea by 1,000 bayonets, viz. :-
8d battalion of Grenadier Guards 300 men.
let battalion •f Coldstream Guards 350 men.
Scots Fusilier Guards, list battalion, 350 men.

The Household Brigade of Infantry is in a position to
spare nearly double that number, having obtained large
reinforcements of volunteers frost the militia, and also
been very successful in obtaining recruits ; the volunteers
beiog mostly well disciplined could at once be sent to
-the seat of war, if required, but it is believed that no
fortber iciuforuementa will be sent out to the Crimea
before the latter part of the nest month.

THE FRENCH FOREIGN LEGION.

The following decreo of Napoleon 111., creating
a second foreign lag-on, which has not yet been
officially published in Paris, appears in the Suisse,
of Berne :--
Art. 1. A second foreign legion shall be formed.

2. This legion will be-composed of two regiments of
infantry. The number of battalions in each regiment
may be augmented as there may be occasion.
3. The composition of the cadres in the two regi-
ments will be conformable to the schedule annexed to
this decree.

4. In regard to pay, administration services, &c., the
second foreign legion will be, like the first, assimilated
to French troops of tie line.
6. All the officers still be foreigners.
7. The legion will be recruited according to the ordi-
nance of Marcb, 1831, applicable to the first legion.
7. As soon as the legion shall be completed, promo-
tion will go on according to regular order.
8. Grants of land in Algiers or the French colonies
may be-made to soldiers of the first and second legions
who may have distinguished themselves in the service of
France by bravery or good conduct.
'Another decree, dated Paris, Jan. 17, nominates
the Swiss General Ochsenbein a French general of
brigade cn foreign service.
It is said thata treaty between France and Switzer-
land has been actually signed, pursuant to which
an army of 40,000 men will march across Switzer-
land to the Danube next month, and will be rein-
forced by a Swiss contingent of 15,000 men.

SPORTING NOTES.

" BRIEF LET 111:E DE."

The sporting journalist has no topic this week to em-
ploy its pen, Abuse of handicappers is, after all, a dis-
agreeable task, and to enter into a critical disseitatien
on the comparative chances would be decidedly injudi-
cious until after the publication of the acceptances. The
frost and snow seem likely to prevent the holding of the
Steeplechase gatherings appointed to take place next
week. Hopes are, however, entertained that the Croy-
don affair will be celebrated.

The Chester Cup betting is somewhat uninteresting,
but the favourably-weighted Reiver, and the alleged
" whistler" Arthur Wellesley, continue to hold the lead-
ing positions in the list of quotations. I ■hall, however,
postpone the publication of any notes on the probable
issue of the encounter until the horses are released from
their straw-beds.

A Guide to the Handicaps has been published by
" Priam," who has collected a mass of information rela-

five to the horses engaged. The book will, douistless,
be eagerly boughs. It contains a wonderful "pick" for
the Derby ; the " coming animal" has, perhaps, been
scarcely heard of by many turates.

ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA,
with the View of distinguishing the Imaginary from the
Real Sufferers under this disease, and C greeting of wide-spread
Errors in relation to their Treatment and Cure. From he German
of Dr. PICKFORD. With an Intro'action by the Editor, containing
a complete exposure of the system of terrorism and extortion pursued
by the-advertising quacks of the metropolis towards those who are
credulous enough to seek their aid.
" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is tho first
time, he informs as, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall letect any
other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his ~ower to cor-
rect."—London Medical Gazette. " The tribe of Quiet Sympathisers,'
and ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; arid if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who stiffer from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
oe saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money...... This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."

CRIMINAL COUBT.-(TIIIS DAY.)

The January session of the above court was opened
this morning, before the Right lien. the Lord Mayor,
the Right Hon. the Recorder, Aldermen Farncomb, Sir
R. W. Carden, and Wire, Dir. Sheriff Huggerid,ge, Mr
Sheriff Crosley, Mr. Under-Sheriff Farrar, Mr. Under-
Sheriff A. Crosley, &c., &c.
The first edition of the calendar contains the names
of 94 prisoners.

The Recorder expressed his regret that the calendar
contained se►eral very serious charges, in five of which
the destruction of human life was involved, there being
four charges of manslaughter, and one of murder. There
WAS also an increase in the crime of burglary ; and, taken
altogether, the amount of crime contained in it was
beyond the usual average. Ile was afraid with regard
to the charge, of murder that the grand jury would
have no other alternati►e but to return a true bill, and
if any question should arise as to the state of mind of
the prisoner, that would be disposed of by the petty
j
The grand jury then retired.

NEW ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—The Sardinian Govern-
ment has granted permission to Chevalier Nonelli to try
his new electric telegraph on the Turin and ,`Saii Paolo
line.
By this new system, railway trains will be, while
running, in constant telegraphic communication with
other trains moving on the line, whether before or be-
hind, and they may not only every moment ascertain at
what distance they are from a train, but even exchange
telegraphic signals with each other.

DEPARTURE OF TROOPS FOR THE CRIMEA.

PORTSMOUTH, Jan. 28.—The drafts of va.riota regi-
ments, amounting to nearly 1,000 officers and men, re-
ported yesterday as having embarked on board the
chartered screw transport Canadian (No. 176), took
their departure this afternoon to the Crimea, to reinforce
their respective regiments there. The ♦essel calls at
Plymouth, to embark one or two more detachments for
the same destination. The men going out by this ship
will have no cause of complaint as to the manner i❑
which they are sent off. Ample stores, provisions, &0.,
had been supplied to her for the voyage, and whilst each
man has had served out to him a complete equipment
of winter clothing suitable for the Crimea, in addition to
the woollen under-clothing, worsted gloves, &c., given to
each yesterday afternoon, they have each received to-day
a pair of top boots, worn outside the trousers, and reach-
ing to the knee ; a fur cap which covers up the ears and
neck, and an india-rubber waterproof coat. The troops
all equipped themselves in these habiliments to-day, and
presented an extraordinary specimen of British troops.
Their appearance was decidedly more that of Russians
than anything else, and it seems difficult to understand
how, on a foggy morning or dark night, they could be
distinguished one from the other. The boots, perhaps
from being made of brown leather instead of black, may
afford one feature of distinction. The clothing, how-
ever, is very good- -sufficient for any climate, and com-
fortable. It is much to be regretted, on the other hand,
that this clothing was not kept on board ship until the
arrival of the mon out ; for, as it is, a good deal of it
will probably be spoiled or much injured before it is
used in the place for which it is intended. The ordi-
umry vela. blao 61,), g:-c.4 0006 k, .vrould have
been amply warm enough on board a crowded steamer,
and would have worn better, whereas such things as the
india-rubber coat is likely to be soon injured by being
knocked about on the ♦oyage.

All the men went away in the best spirits, cheering
most ♦ociferously as they went out of harbour.

THE SHIPWRIGHTS' COMMITTEE.
A Committee of Master Shipwrights, consisting of
Mr. Francis J. Laire, Master Shipwright of Chatham
Dockyard, Mr. R. Abethell, Master Shipwright of
Portsmouth Dockyard, and Mr. Henry Chasfield, Mas-
ter Shipwright of Deptford Dockyard, —assembled on
Saturday last at the offices of Commodore John Shep-
herd in Woolwich Dockyard, for the purpose of in-
quiring into the cause of the Perseverance iron screw
steam-ship upsetting in the East Dock on Saturday, the
20th inst.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

The Joinery session of the above court was opened
this morning, before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor,
the Right Hon. the Recorder, Aldermen Farncomb, Sir
R. W. Carden, and Wire, Mr. Sheriff Muggeridge, Mr
Sheriff Crosley, Mr. Under-Sheriff Farrar, Mr. Under-
Sheriff A, Crosley, &c., &c.
The first edition of the calendar centains the names
of 94 prisoners.

The Recorder expressed his regret that the calendar
contained several very serious charges, in five of which
the destruction of human life was involved, there being
four charges of manslaughter, and one of murder. There
was also an increase in the crime of burglary ; and, taken
altogether, the amount of crime contained in it was
beyond the usual average. He was afraid with regard
to the charge of murder that the grand jury would
have no other alternative but to return a true bill, and
if any question should arise as to the state of mind of
the prisoner, that would be disposed of by the petty
jury.
The grand jury then retired.

NEW ELECTRIC TELEGRAPIL—The Sardinian Govern-
ment has granted permission to Chevalier Bonolli to try
his new electric telegraph on the Turin and San Paolo
line. By this new system, rail may trains will be, while
running, in Constant telegraphic communication with
other trains !Loving on ti.o LIIO, whether helm o or be-
hind, and tiley may not only every moment itscertAie at
what distance they are from a train, but even exchange
telegraphic, eignale with each other.
London, England, 1855-01-29

to eater into that arrangement, the board had to ask the
meeting to give it full powers to treat ; and a vote
on that point would be submitted to the meeting. The
report then entered on the question of the several
branch lined, which it would be advantageous for
the Grand Central to possess, and in particular the
Novers line ; that from Agin to Tarbes, and from Mar-
cilia° to Rodez, from Moulins to Montlucon, and from
Montlucon tto Limoges. The board would also ask for
powers to treat for the whole or part of the forges and
mining establishment of the Aubin company, lying ad-
jacent to the main line. The board, the report declared
in conclusion, would use all these powers, of whatever
kind they might be, with great reserve and cantion.
The accounts were than approved of ; the various autho-
risations crilled for by the board accorded unanimously,
and the proceedings terminated.

THE COMING CONGRESS.

It is mid, on autherity to which some credit "nay be
attacked, that the Emperor Nicholas insists on the ad-
mission of Prussia as a party to the proposed Congress
at Vienna. It is needless to say the Allies will never
consent to this unless Prussia enter into their alliance.

If Prussia persists in her refusal to accede to our ♦iews
and our alliance, and if Russia be absolute is her demand
for the adraissien of Prussia to the Congress it is ob-
vious that it will net meet, as the principals cannot
agree upon preliminaries.—Morning Pest.

SPORTING NOTES.

" BRIEF LET ME BE."

The sporting journalist has no topic this week to em-
ploy its pen. Abuse of handicappers is, after all, a dis-
agreeable task, and to enter into a critical dissertation
oa the comparative chances would be decidedly injudi-
cious until after the publication of the acceptances. The
frost and snow seem likely to prevent the holding of the
Steeplechase gatherings appointed to take place next
week. Hopes are, however, entertained that the Croy-
don affair will be celebrated.

The Chester Cup betting is somewhat uninteresting,
but the favourably-weighted Reiver, and the alleged
" whistler" Arthur Wellesley, continue to hold the lead
ing positions in the list of quotations. I shall, however,
postpone the publication of any notes on the probable
issue of the encounter until the horses are released from
their straw-Istds.

A Guide to the Handicaps has been published by
" Priam," who has collected a macs of information rela-
tive to the horses engaged. The book will, doubtlesw,
be eagerly bought. It contains a wonderful " pick" for
the Derby ; the " coming animal" has, perhaps, been
scarcely heard of by many turatee.

DETENTION OF THE CANADIAN.

PLYMOUTH, Monday Morning.—The hired screw
steamer Canadian, Captain Grange, ready to sail for the
Crimea, is detained in Plymouth Sound, in consequence
of her cooking coppers having been found inadequate for
the number of men (about 1,000) which she has on board.

THE NEWSPAPAR STAMP ACT.

'(From tke Economist.)

On the motion of the Secretary of the Treasury, the
/louse of Commons last night resolved to go into a com-
mittee of the whole house on Monday next, in order to
consider the laws relating to the Newspaper Stamp Amts.
According to the notices of motion distributed this morn-
ing, the Chancellor of the Exchequer will upon that
occasion propose certain resolutions for the adoption of
Parliament, as the groundwork of a new act to be intro-
duced pursuant thereto, from which we collect that the
following will be the main features of it. All the exist-
ing laws in relation to the press will be repealed—as well
those which relate to stamping, as those which relate to
registration and securities. It will then be provided that
not only newspapers, but any printed single publication
of any kind, not exceeding four ounces in weight, shall
pass through the Post-office either with an impressed
stamp, as at present, or with the ordinary postage
head. But we understand there will be this diffe-
rence in favour of newspapers or other publications
which are published with an impressed stamp, that
they will be entitled to retransmission through the ,
.Phst-office for seven days after the date of publication,
while the common adhesive stamp, affixed at any time
after publication, will entitle the same to be transmitted
only once. It will, however, be optional to publish any
p6rtion of a newspaper so stamped beforehand and car-
rying the privilege of retransmission and the remainder
ot the edition nnstaraped. Thus, in point of fact, the
practice will be to treat all printed matter alike, and to
carry through the post-office t• any part of the United
Kinglets, for one penny, any single publication not ex-
ceeding four ounces, with the privilege of retransmission
within seven days in the ease referred to. In respect to
copyright and libel, newspapers will thus also be placed
in the same situation only as other publications. A more
complete and entire change of the present law, reducing
it to the greatest simplicity, could not possibly have
been proposed. What effect it will have upon the press
of the country it is impossible to say, but of this we feel
confident, that neither this nor auy other change will
enable low priced and inferior papers to interfere with
the best portion of the press M it now exists.
