SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 21st contain no news
of much interest. The Gazette publishes addresses
of devotedness to the Government from the
civil and military authorities ; also a report from
the Governor of the province of Madrid, stating
that the spirit of the population is excellent, and
that they will pay their taxes without delay.

The Courrier de l'Eure states that an ameliora-
tion has taken place in the state of M. Dupont (de
l'Eure), and it is thought he may recover from his
present illness.

- A letter from Honolulu of December 20, in the
Moniteur, announces the death of the King of the
Sandwich Islands, Kamehameha 111., on the 15th,
at the age of 42. He is succeeded by his nephew,
Prince Lioliho, who has taken the title of Kame-
hameha IV.

SIR RICHARD MACDONNELL, C.B.

We have great pleasure in stating that the Queen has '
conferred the honour of knighthood on the newly-ap-
pointed Governor of South Australia. Sir Richard
Macdonnell has earned this mark of approbation by
many years of active and able service. In 1842 he was
sent to the Western Coast of Africa as Chief Justice of
the Gambia, and held that office for about five years,
during which he became thoroughly conversant with the
interests and feelings of the colonists, mid was then
made Governor in 1847. This position he retained for
five years more, although nearly all his European con-
temporaries fell victims to the malignity of the climate,
and although he was himself attacked some fifteen or
twenty times by the terrible African fever. He visited
in person the tribes in the interior of the country, where
no white man had penetrated before, and managed to
conciliate the native princes and conclude treaties with
them. The occasional violation of these he punished by
some vigorous military expeditions, and thus established
enlarged and securer commercial intercourse for the
colony. In 1852 he was made a Companion of the
Bath, and then appointed successively Governor of St.
Lucia and of St. Vincent. The latter post he filled till
his recent promotion, and in it he earned a character for
those qualities that eminently conciliate personal regard,
' as well as for abilities of a very high order. Sir Richard
Macdonnell is the son of the Provost of the Dublin
University. His departure for Australia will take place
almost immediately.

THE RUSSIANS ON THE VISTULA.

The following is an extract from a letter of an
Irish officer in the Austrian Service :

" Feb. 8.
" I had the pleasure some days back of leading an
observation patrol on the Russian frontier some 10
miles from here (Taslo) by Sandomir, on the 'Vistula.
This immense river is frozen. The day I arrived there
was 22 deg. of cold, and opposite, from me about 400
paces, I could see a Russian brigade, with the men of
the infantry slanceuvring barefooted. You may form
some idea of the barbarity of the country when they
treat the soldiers so. They say it is to harden
the men ! Scarce a day passes that slumbers do not de-
sert over to us, and the poor devils meet, then, a miser-
able fate ; for, as a declaration of war has not as yet
been made, we are obliged to give up the deserters. My
serjeant, who commanded au escort of Russian deserters,
brought me the intelligence that, when he delivered
them up to the commanding Russian general, be coolly
said, Wait and you shall see how we treat such wretches
as desert their colours.' The poor fellows were again
marched out, and on the banks of the Vistula, where
they left Russian ground, were strung up like dogs, with
the wolves and foxes,'which are here very numerous, to
howl their sad requiem !"

RELIEF TO THE WIND-BOUND.

The Bulldog, steam-sloop, under the command of her
First Lieutenant, the Hon. Augustus Hobart, bas been
ordered by the Admiralty to proceed directly to the
mouth of the Channel to cruise in search of the home-
ward-bound, in order to relieve any vessels which might
be distressed owing to having been kept so long at sea
from the prevalence of easterly winds. Lieutenant
Hobart is the same officer who so gallantly commanded
her Majesty's sloop Driver at the bombardment of Be-
marsund, and at the attack upon the gun-boats at Abo.

ITALY.

ROME, Feb. 20.—1 t is confidently asserted that
Cardinal Antonelli has at last resigned, and that
the Pope has accepted his resignation. Several mo-
tives are adduced for this step on the part of his emi-
nence, who, it is supposed, would net have resorted
to it if he had seen a tolerable chance of keeping in
power much longer. The pretext alleged by him is
stated to be the determination of his Holiness to
divide the multifarious offices hitherto concentrated
in the person of Cardinal Antonelli, and to have
two secretaries of state, one for foreign and the
other for home affairs, as during the reign of the
late Pope.

audience from the Emperor for the purpose of giving, in
the name of the Emperor of Russia, explanations on the
new manifesto of the Czar. The Prince declared that
the sovereign had been constrained to take that step by
the extension, more and more considerable, of the coali-
tion against Russia, and that the calling out of the whole
forces of the empire was only a measure of defence neces-
sitated
by the warlike preparations of the West. This
measure, added Prince Gortschakoff, was not intended
to exercise any influence on the conferences for peace,
the Czar being disposed, now as before, to treat with
the Western Powers on the basis of the four points.
The Emper©r Francis-Joseph did not, we are assured,
consider this explanation satisfactory, and he frankly
stated to Prince Gortschakoff tleat the proceeding of the
Czar inspired him with less confidence from the fact that
up to the present moment, no other power has had re-
course to measures of such gravity. In a word, the
manifesto of the Emperor of Russia has produced a very
unfavourable impression in our official circles ; and it is
asserted that our Emperor will not leave without reply
this demonstration of the Czar."

THE TRANSPORT SERVICE.

The Himalaya screw-steamer troopship, Commander
Priest, proved the accuracy of her compasses yesterday,
in Portsmouth harbour, and is now ready to embark her
cavalry horses and troops. The Blenheim, 60, Captain
Hall, was ander the shears in, the fitting basin, at Ports-
mouth, yesterday, re-shipping her mainmast, which is
now stepped upon the kelsou, instead of upon the orlop
deck, as before ; her new boilers have admitted of this
improvement. The Arrogant, 46, Captain Yelverton,
left her sailing moorings, on the west shore, at Ports-
mouth, yesterday, and moved (wet to the Cari.atic hulk,
to give place to the Imperieuse, to adjust her compasses.
The Edinburgh, 58, Captain Hewlett, was docked yes-
terday, at Portsmouth, to refit for the new Baltic service.
Rear-Admiral Superintendent Martin, and Mr. Abetheli,
the master shipwright of Portsmouth dockyard, in-
spected the state of the Malabar coaling hulk, in Ports-
mouth harbour, yesterday, which had been reported de-
fective.

The hired Government transport War Cloud, Captain
Fox, No. 56; which entered Plymouth Sound on Sunday

LONDON, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1855.

The Ministerial arrangements have not as yet
been completed. It is true that new writs have
been moved for the city of London, for the
boroughs of Radnor and Halifax, and for Forfar-
shire, in consequence of the acceptance of office
by their late representatives. But notwithstand-
ing the existence of many rumours, we have no

conclusive evidence as to any further appointments

from members of the House of Commons. Lord
STANLEY of Alderley (formerly Lord EDDISBUILY)

has been nominated President of the Board of
Trade, in the place of Mr. CARDWELL, who, as
we had anticipated, steadily resisting all the
blandishments by which he was tested, shared the
fate of his Peelite companions.

The claims of the aristocracy have certainly not
been slighted by the New Premier in the arrange-
ments above referred to. We have one Member
of the House of Lords, two Lords by courtesy,
and two Baronets, each of whom happens to be
brother-in-law to an Earl ; a fact that, in each
instance, apparently constitutes the chief claim
to high office. As yet untitled merit has not
been appreciated, and, although we are far from
thinking that a title should constitute any
impediment to the promotion of a man otherwise
duly qualified, it still seems rather strange that
all the five prizes should have fallen to persons
thus distinguished and so closely connected with the
nobility by birth or marriage !
Mr. FREDERICK PEEL, it appears, after all, is
to undertake the duties of Under-Secretary for
the War Department, an office which it was gene-
believed would have been offered to the
Boa. Gentleman the Member for Aylesbury, whose
r information on Eastern subjects and ex-
tra"ai."l7 energy indicated him as the best man
for the oftlee.
It was necessary, however, that
there slaouidbe k "Comedy
of Errors" to introduce
the Ministerial. -13„741

gentleman, whose red..t, •
Piet propensities are so
notorious, was pitch-forked from an office, with the
duties whereof he had some acquaintance, having
served a brief apprenticeship, into

throughout the length and breadth of the land-
as loudly, indeed,
as some few weeks since did that
quietly disposed of by
of Lord PALMERSTON—was
the offer of the Colonial Under Secretaryship, an
offer which it is almost needless to say he unhesi-
tatingly rejected.
Having thus made the worst possible arrange-
ment for the War-office, lot us see what has
been done for the Colonial Department. Sir GEO.
GREY, who had for some months been Secretary,

has been removed to the Home Office. His sue-
' censor, Mr. S. HERBERT, held office for some ten
or twelve days, when he joined in the Peelite
" Estampede," * and rushed wildly off, fleeing
from some unknown but no less dreaded danger.

On the motion for the second reading of the Caledo-

Mr. HADFIELD moved that the bill be read a
second time that day six months, because it would only
enable the company to raise money for no other pur-
pose than carrying on a ruinons contest with a rival
railway; to the great detriment of the shareholders.
The second reading was postponed until this day
week.

MILITIA.

The North Gloucester Regiment, under the command
of Colonel Kingscote, of Kingscote-park, late of the
Life Guards, has been assembled at Cirencester since
the ',Nth of December, and embodied for permanent ser-
vice. Within the space of two months this regiment
has sent 162 volunteers to the 41st and other regiments
of the line, tnd two officers of the corps, Ensign Corn-
wall and Ensign Boddington, have in consequence re-
ceived their commissions in the 41st Regiment. Ensign
Raymond has also joined the 44th Regiment. Notwith-
standing this large contribution to the line (larger, com-
paratively, than any other embodied regiment of Mili-
tia), the corps still musters nearly 600 rank and file, of
wham the greater part are fit for duty. The men ate
as steady on parade and in their evolutions as most re-
giments of the line, and the corps is in daily expectation
of receiving orders for garrison service.
The Royal Cornwall Rangers, now assembled at Bod-
min, under the command of Lientenant-Colonel Coryton,
number 386 of all ranks. This regiment has given 26
approved volunteers (out of more than doable the num-
ber that offered) to the regular forces since embodiment
on the 16th of January. The men have not yet received
their knapsacks or new clothing. It is expected that
the regiment will be removed to Ireland, it having been
one of the first to volunteer far service in that country
during the late war.

The South Gloucester, Colonel Earl Fitzhardinge, and
the South Lincolnshire, Colonel Sibthorp, are ordered
to Portsmouti for garrison duty.
The let Royal Lancashire Militia, in quarters at
Portsmouth, and under orders to embark in the Penin-
sular and Oriental Steam Company's ship Calcutta for
Corfu, were inspected yesterday, in barracks, by the
newly appointed Lieutenant-Governor of Portsmouth,
Major• General Breton, attended by his staff. The state
and efficiency of the regiment drew the most gratifying
encomiums from the inspecting general, who afterwards
-visited the orderly and mess-rooms, and found all most
creditable and satisfactory. After the inspection Colonel
and Captain Whittle amused the men with foot racing
and other sports for prizes.

RELIEF TO THE WIND-BOUND.

The Bulldog, steam-sloop, under the command of her
First Lieutenant, the Hon. Augustus Hobart, has been
ordered by the Admiralty to proceed directly to the
mouth of the Channel to cruise in search of the home-
ward-bound, in order to relieve any vessels which might
be distressed owing to having been kept so long at sea
from the prevalence of easterly winds. Lieutenant
Hobart is the same officer who so gallantly commanded
her Majesty's sloop Driver at the bombardment of Bo-
marsund, and at the attack upon the gun-boats at Abo.

MILITARY.

The 30th, 54th, 66th, and 92d regiments were at Gib-
raltar on the 18th of February.
Major C. C. Young, of the Royal Artillery, who was
unfortunately killed by falling from the window of an
hotel at Portsmouth, on Saturday morning, as reported
in The sun, served on the north coast cf Spain from
January, 1838, t• August, 1840, and was present in all the
affairs and operations that took wane from Jan., 1838,
to the conclusion of the war, in front of San Sebastian,
and also at the camp of Pas y Fneros, on the Bidassoa,
in Dec., 1335, and Jan., 1839. He served also in the
operations on the Yang-tse•Kiang, in China, including
th• storm and capture of Chin•Kiang-Foo ; he was also
present at the demonstration before Nankin. He again
served during the operations in Caffraria, in 1847, to the.
conclusion of the war, as well as milit try secretary and-
aide-de-camp to Sir H. Pottinger, her Majesty's High
Commissioner and Governor. At the time of his de-
cease, in addition to his being a major in the army, he
was a captain in the Royal Horse Artillery. He entered
the army in 1834, was a lieutenant in 1837, captain in
1846, and major in 1848.

The Government has entered into an extensive con-
tract for rho supply of Mini, rifles, rifles for the use of
the Rifle Brigade and 60th Royal Rifle Regiment, and
rifled carbines for two cavalry regiments, which will be
designated "Mounted Riflemen." This latter branch
of the service was found to be most efficient in the cam-
paign on the Rhine in the years 1793 and 1794. A
large contract for cavalry sabres, holster pistols, and
lances has also been agreed to, in order to place the
cavalry arm of the service on the most efficient footing.
A quantity of musquetoons, pistols, cutlasses, boarding-
pikes, and tomahawks have also been ordered for the
navy, the greater portion of which are to be delivered
into store at the Tower by the middle of March.
The Royal Malta Regiment will be augmented to a
strength of 1,200 bayonets.

THE SORTIE OF JAN. 31.

The Ryalide Russe publishes a report in which Prince
Menschikoff writes, under date Feb. 4, that in the
night of Jan. 31 a sortie was made from Sebastopol
against the right of the French trenches. The Russian
detachment, consisting of 330 men, led by the naval
lieutenant Biruleff, approached the sheltered position
of the French, attacked the occupants with the
bayonet, and expelled them. "Notwithstanding the
cross fire of musketry and grape kept up from the
French and English batteries, Lieutenant Biruleff pre-
cipitated himself six times on the nearest trenches,
and inflicted so much loss upon the enemy that one of
theta was filled with the dead bodies of French soldiers.
Our party made three officers and seven men prisoners.
On our side we had Ensign Semeneky and three men
killed, and 34 wounded, among whom is one of the best
known of our brave fellows, Koschka, the sailor." In his
report General Osten-Sacken speaks in the highest terms
of tie skill and valour of Lieut. Birnleff, " who has now
led four sorties with remarkable success."
Such is the Russian account of this affair. It is need-
less to say tiat it differs widely from that which we have
published from French sources.

THE GENERAL ARMING IN RUSSIA.

The Invalide Russe publishes the regulation prepared
by the Directing Senate, and ratified by the Czar, for
the organisation of the " Imperial Mobile Militia," as
the new corps decreed in the recent manifesto is to be
called. The ordinance is divided into 9 sections and 97
paragraphs, and in the original fills 7 folio columns.
The first clause of the document declares that the corps
is raised for temporary service, in defence of the faith,
the throne, and the fatherland. It is enacted that
exemptions fßom military service hitherto per-
mitted shall not apply in the present case, but
that whoever is liable to the capitation tax, or
its equivalent, shall be liable to be called upon to
serve in this corps. Merchants, Jews, and foreign co-
lonists, who have been encouraged to settle in Russia,
and received grants of land from the Crown, are ex-
cepted. The corps will be divided into battalions or
drnschines, each consisting of four companies. Each
druschine is to be commanded by a staff officer, and
to have four captains and a staff captain, 1,000 sub-
officers and soldiers, and 18 musicians. In order to
hasten the formation of the corps, a gubernial militia
committee is to be formed in every government, and
within 14 days after receipt of the manifesto the
nobles are to assemble and appoint the rendezvous
of the several battalions, and make arrangements for
their supply and equipment. To meet the expenses of
the new corps, special "voluntary" subscriptions are to
be made, for which the committees will open lists, and to
which all persons are summoned to contribute. The
subjects of the Emperor are abjured by their love of their
country to make sacrifices corresponding to the occa-
sion, and it is announced that the names and subscrip-
tions of all persons will be published. The nobles,
as soon as they have deliberated according to the
directions foregoing, are to repair to their several
localities, and exert themselves in forwarding the
enrolment. The soldiers must not be younger than 20,
nor older than 45 years of age. In the formation of
companies, inhabitants of the same village are to be
kept together as far as possible. Those who have no
fire-arms of their own are to be furnished with a mus-
ket and bayonet. The employment of the militia is to
be at the pleasure of the Czar, and upon the termination
of the war all persons serving in the corps will be al-
lowed to go back to their homes. Should any fall in
battle, their families will receive a certificate absolving
them from obligation to furnish a recruit at the next
levy.

Mr. Layard, M.P., has invited his constituents to
meet him to-morrow, at the County Hall, Aylesbury, as
he "desires to explain his views and express his opinions
upon the state of public affairs at this ij33 portant crisis,"
