THE WEST INDIA MAIL.

ARRIVAL OF THE PARANA.

SOUTHAMPTON, JAN. 23.

The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Parana,
Captain-Philip last, arrived here this afternoon,
at 1.30 p.m., from the West Indies, with the usual
mails, in charge of Liout. Charles Bolton, Admi-
ralty agent.

On her homeward voyage the Parana experienced
the first five days strong head gales of wind.
Her latest dates aro :—Nassau, Dec. 1 ; Grey
Town, 20 ; Santa Martha, 22 ; Chagres, 24 ; Tri-
nidad, 25 ; Demerara and Grenada, 26 ; Barba-
does, 27 ; Carthagena, and Jamaica, 28 ; Jacmel,
29 ; Antigua, 30 ; St. Kitts and Porto Rico, 31 ;
and St. Thomas, Jan. 5.
She brings 17 passengers.
The Parana brings on freight specie, &c., to the
amount of $667,646 52c., 996 serous of cochineal,
17 casks of coffee, 7 saccades, 37 bales of sarsapa-
rilla, 4.cases of tortoiseshell, and a general cargo,
consisting of 172 packages of sundries.
Her Majesty's ships of war at Port Royal :
Bosca.wen, Admiral Fanshawe ; Colossus, Daring,
and Arab.

Stations of the company's steam-ships :—The
Toviot, Captain Sawyer, on the Gulf of Mexico ;
the Dee, Captain Woolcott, on the Spanish Main ;
the Clyde, Capt. Woolward, ditto ; the Conway,
Ca.pt. "traer, on the Windward Islands ; the Eagle,
at St. Thomas (being. repaired) ; the Solent, Capt.
Jellicoe, on the Spanish Main ; and the Wye, Cap-
tain Leeds, on the Belize.

The news brought by the Parana from our pos-
sessions in the West Inches is of no interest to the
home reader whatever.. The papers are principally
filled with the details of the doings of the Allied
forces in the Crimea, received generally via New
York and Southampton.

The markets at Jamaica were in the same inac-
tive state as at date of last advice• ; but the crops
are reported as good, and there was plenty of Bri-
tish chipping at Port Royal awaiting freights,
which, in all probability, will be less than lately.
The weather at Antigua continued fine, and very
favourable to the growing crop, which, it is ex-
pected, will be good. The same remark applies to
Grenada. Sickness, chiefly fever, however, pre-
vailed to some extent.

THE MILITIA.

Colonel SIBTHORP wished the Secretary-at-War to
explain more distinctly and clearly than had yet been
done the intentions of Government with regard to the
embodied militia. At present it was not known where
the men who might volunteer were to be sent to, or
when they would be sent out of the country, and he
should be glad to receive some further explanation upon
the point.
Mr. S. HERBERT said before the act of the last
session was passed several offers were made to
the Home Office of Militia Regiments ready to serve
abroad, and they had been requested to repeat these
offers—viz., the terms of the new act, when tho Se-
cretary of State would be in a position to determine
whether they should be accepted or not.

LOCAL DUES.

Mr. HUDSON wished to ask the President of the
Board of Trade whether he was prepared with any mea-
sure with reference to local dues and charges on ship-
ping.
Mr. CARDWELL said a commission had been
sitting on this subject, which had reported with regard
to this parb of the country, but the report relating to
Scotland and Ireland was not yet ready. It would be
ready, however, in a few days, and he did not deem it
expedient to legislate upon the subject until lie was in
possession of that report.

SUN OFFICE, Sin o'Clock.

SPAIN .
Madrid correspondence of the 16th, 17th, and
18th inst., have been received.
Accounts from various parts of Spain continue
to indicate the approach of a Carlist insurrection.
I have seen a letter from Estella stating that the
Carlists there were in high spirits, and that persons
of station and consideration had been heard to
affirm that Montemolin would speedily be in Spain.
The latest accounts speak of groups assembling in
the streets of Estella, and vivas for Montemolin,
and of alarm and closed doors among the well-
affected part of the inhabitants. From the best
authority I learn that similar incidents have taken
place elsewhere. As yet there have been no posi-
tive acts of rebellion, but various unmistakable
symptoms denote the coming of the storm.
A correspondent, writing on the 18th, says :
" Reports are spread that Cabrora has entered
Spain, and the Diario Espanol inclines to believe
that he has. I very much doubt it, and await
confirmation of the intelligence."

,PUBLIC HEALTH ACTS.
Sir B. 'TALL rose for the purpose of introducing two
bills, both intended for the same object, but of an entirely
different character. It would be in the recollection of the
house that during the last session of Parliament an intima-
tion was given that a committee would be moved for at an
early period this session to consider the manner in which
the Health Act of 1848 had been carried out. But 55, at
the same time, it was arranged by the act then introduced
that the Board of Health was henceforward to be presided
over by one who should bo responsible for the conduct and
proceedings of the board, he had felt it his duty, not merely
to content himself with moans for the appointment of a
select committee a3cording to promise, but lie thought it
more proper to propose bills which he could first submit to
Parliament, and then move their reference, together with
other bills, to a select committee, in order that he might
obtain the advice of members practically acquainted with
the state of the law in their regard. At the same time ho
was bound to state his anxiety that these measures should
pass early this session, in order that if the country was to
be revisited by the calamity of last summer, due prepara-
tions would be made to encounter it. He would not say
ono word in favour of the necessity or further legislation
towards sanitary improvements; be believed all were of
one accord on the point ; he w ould simply refer to tho
various attempts at legislation on the subject, as well as
to the notice which it had received in Parliament. He
found, in the first place that varionsreports had been made
to the House of Commons, both by committees es well as

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JAN. 11.
At a dinner given last week by the Austrian
Ambassador to the Ministers of the Porte, he ex-
pressed himself very frankly, and to the following
effect, with regard to the position occupied by
Austria, since the signature of the treaty of the 2d
of December :

"His Majesty the Sultan has repulsed an aggression
which had been unjustly made, and his brave army has
valiantly defended the territory of his empire. The ma-
ritime Powers have supported his efforts, and his Ma
jesty the Emperor of Austria has concentrated his armies
to give them effective aid, if, unfortunately, the last di-
plomatic overtures should prove of no avail ; and whether
peace be made before or after the war, the pride mani-
fested by Russia shall be quelled. He went on to say that
the time would then have come for Turkey to enter upon a
new era, as, at any rate, this crisis would bring about the
extirpation of the prejudices of race, the liberty of wor-
ship for all creeds, the triumph of right over force, and
the development of important resources for commerce
and industry. The generous intentions of his Majesty
the Sultan in that respect ars well known, and, sup
ported by the most devoted and enlightened men of his
State, he will succeed in the noble endeavour of recon-
stituting his great empire by a sage and liberal adininis.

that such a solution of the Oriental question would
perfectly respond to the civilization of the times.'

Lucan, ordering the light cavalry to make the disastroub
charge at Balaklava, is the correct order or not ! That
order runs thus Lord Raglan wishes the cavalry to
advance rapidly to the front, to follow the enemy, and
try to prevent their carrying away the guns. Horse ar-
tillery will accompany them, and the French cavalry la
to be on the left." I hope the right hon. gentleman
will be prepared to name a day when he will inform the
house whether that report of the order is correct or not.
Sir, my second question is, why the light cavalry are not
allowed a medal for that disastrous charge ! (Loud
cries of hear, hear.) It was not the fault of the men
that it was so disastrous. (Renewed cries of hear, hear )
I will ask at once, then, why a clasp is not given to them
for that engagement as well as for Alma and Inkerman?

of Commow, and requesting me to communicate them to
the officers and men of the British army and General Can.
robert ; and I bog to acquaint you that I have fulfilled
your instructions, and am proud of having been charged
with so agreeable a commission. The officers and
men of the British army derived the highest gratifi.
cat on from the knowledge that their gallant exertions
ii the cause in which they are engaged have been bo•
nou.red by the approval of the representatives of the
British nation, and they accept with feelings of deepest
gratitude the unanimous thanks of the House of Commons.
I shall best make known to the house the sentiments enter-
tained by General Canrobert of the public recognition of
the brilliant achievements of the French army, in cordial
co-op3ration with the troops of her Majesty, by trans-
mitting to you a copy af his Excellency's letter,
in reply to my communication, and the general order is
which he announced to the army under his command the
resolutions of the House, and expressed his due apprecia..
tion of the thanks they conveyed. I trust you will be se
good as to acquaint the House that I am deeply, sensible of
the great distinction it has conferred upon me in noticing
my services, and that yen will yourself accept my warmest

QUACKS UNMASKED.
The Third Edition.—Just published, price 55., by post, free, ss. 6d.
ON TRUE az FALSE SPER,MATORRH(EA,
with the View of distinguishing the Imaginary from the
Real Sufferers under this disease, and Correcting of wide-spread
Errors in relation to their Treatment and Cure. From the German
of Dr. PICKFORD. With an Introduction 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.

" Or. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs as, that ho has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not bo the last, if he shall detect any
other equally Ilsgrant 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 ; and 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
be 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 riper. a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."
