POLAND.

Mr. W. EWART asked the the First Lord of the Trea-
sury whether any reliable account had been received of a
convention said to have been concluded between the Govern-
ments of Russia and of Prussia respecting the present state
of affairs in Poland ; and whether, in such case, there
would be any objection to communicate such information
to the house ?

Lord PALMERSTON believed there had been some
agreement of the nature specified with respect to the affairs
of Poland ; it was, he believed, to .the effect that insurgents
might be pursued and taken in the territory of the other
in case of need. Force, he understood, was no tin any case
to be used. But that news was based on rumour, and the
Government was not, therefore, in a position to afford exact
information on this matter.
GALWAY CONTRACT.

Mr. BAXTER asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
when the papers with reference to the renewal of the Gal-
way Contract would be laid upon the table ; and if the
Government had been apprised of any proposal on the part
of the Atlantic Royal Mail Company to make not Galway,
but Liverpool or some other English port, the point of the
departure and arrival of their steamers.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that
the papers would be laid on the table of the house this even-
ing. The Government had received no official notification
of the change of plan referred to.

DEATH Or AN OLD SPORTSMAN.--We regret to
record the &nise of Mr. Edmund Boniface, in his
75th year, which took place at his residence at Eastergate,
near to Chichester. The deceased was the true type of an
English country gentleman of the old school, and was
much esteemed by a large circle of friends, to whom he was
endeared by his sociability and unostentatious hostitality.
He kept and hunted his own pack of harriers—the best
known in West Sussex for the last half century ; he never
despaired of losing his game, so much confidence had he in
his hounds. He was very fond of the game of cricket, and
was famous in his day as a fast and successful underhand
bowler. Mr. Boniface continued within comparatively a
short period before his death to keenly enjoy all sorts of
field sports, and was considered as good a sportsman as ever
hallowed to hounds. He was buried in Eastergate Church-
yard on the 16th inst., and a very large number of relatives
and friends were present on the oGeasion.— The xield of

THE ROMAN QUESTION.—We .re informed on i
re:dal:4e authority that her Majesty's Government I
are not to have the last word on this serious matter, and 1
that statements will shortly appear which will throw a new
light upon Mr. Odo Russell's negotiations. If our infor-
mation be correct, Mr. Odo Russell has been compelled to
admit further inaccuracies in his reports to the Foreign-
office. To make things worse, it is said that the retracta-
t'on has taken place in the presence of Cardinal Antonelli
himself,

THE DISPUTE WITH BRAZIL,

Official papers respecting the dispute between the
British and Brazilian Governments were distri-
buted yesterday. They are very numerous, and
enter fully into all the details of the occurrence.
Among those of later date is one from Earl Russell
to Mr. Christie, on Feb. 7, approving the course
adopted by the latter gentleman. Of still later
date are the following despatches, which possess
special interest :

M. MOREIRA TO EARL RUSSELL.
(Translation. Received February 10.)
Imperial Legation of Brazil, London,
Feb. 9, 1863.

•
The undersigned, Envoy Extraordinary and Mi-
nister Plenipotentiary of his Majesty the Emperor
of Brazil, has the honour to inform the Earl Russell,
&c,, that he has just received from his Government
two notes, dated the sth Jan. last, which passed
between the Imperial Government of Brazil and
the British Legation in Rio de Janeit o, which have
been, of course, also transmitted by the same lega-
tion to the Right Hon. Earl Russell.
The two documents show clearly what violent
and deplorable events have occurred in Rio Janeiro,
subsequent to the extraordinary demands made by.
the British Legation upon the Imperial Govern-
ment, of which an account was brought by the last
packet from Brazil.
In the first of these notes addressed to the British
Minister by his Excellency the Marquis of Abrantes,
Minister and Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs,
it is stated word for word as follows

" That the Imperial Government, being anxious
to avoid the imputation of opposing any peaceful
and honourable means of resolving the pending
questions; being anxious to contribute, without a
breach of national honour and dignity, to promptly
putting an end to the difficult situation in which

Le relations between the two Governments are

The capture of Sabine Pass by the Confederates

It is reported. that an expediti:on against Texas
will shortly be fitted. out, G,eneral Butler taking
the chief command.

The Federals hare entered Lebanon, Tennessee,
capturing 600 prisoners.

The Federal reconnaissance from Yorktown fell
into an ambuscade, losing 30 men.
The news of the arrival of the Alabama at King-
ston, Jamaica had reached New York. The Ala-
bama was damaged in her encounter with the Hat-
teras, requiring immediate repairs.

The Senate has called for the correspondence
between the Federal Cabinet and the French Go-

vernment concerning mediation, arbitration, or
other means of ending the war, and also concern-
ing the mission of the French Minister to Rich-
mond.

Mr. Sumner has introduced a bill into the
Senate to enrol 300,000 negto soldiers.
A. bill to enlarge the Illinois and New York

TICKETS OF LEAVE.

Mr. DENMAN asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether any instructions had recently
been issued with reference to the revocation of tickets of
leave for infringement of the conditions endorsed thereon ?
Sir G. GREY replied that he had already given some
information to the house on the subject. Police officers
attended the prisons in order to make themselves acquainted
with the convicts about to be liberated. This precaution
was conjoined with all other measures adopted for the
better security of the public.
London, England, 1863-02-21

THE NAVY.

Sir F. SMITH asked the Secretary to the Admiralty,
whether there was any truth in the report that it was con-
templated, in the event of the resignation of Mr. Isaac
Watts, C. 8., Chief Constructor of the Navy, to appoint to
that important office a gentleman over the heads
of Mr. Abethell, Mr. Oliver Lang, and other distinguished
and talented master shipwrights of long standing in her
Majesty's service ?
Lord C. PAGET replied that it was the intention of the
Admiralty to appoint Mr. Reed, a gent Leman of great ex-
perience, Constructor of the Navy. He denied, in reply to
an observation of a noble lord (Lord R. Montagu) the
other night, that he had either directly or indirectly taken
any part in inducing Lord Sidney, the Lord-Lieutenant of
Kent, to appoint a Mr. Budding to a captaincy in the vo-
lunteers.

NEW ZEALAND—RUMOURED RESIGNATION
OF SIR G. GREY.
Col. W. PATTEN asked the Under Secretary of State
for the Colonies whether there was any truth in the report
that Sir George Grey had tendered the resignation of the
Government of New Zealand unless more troops were sent
there ?

Mr. C. FORTESCUE replied to both questions in the
negative.
THE UNDERGROUND RAILWAY.

Sir G. BOWYER asked the President of the Board of
Trade whether the attention of Government had been di..
rected to the effect of underground railways in the metro-
polis on buildings in the neighbourhood of the lines ; and
whether the Government had taken the subject into their
consideration ?
Mr. M. GIBSON replied that clauses were inserted in
all railway bills for the protection of the public, who had a
remedy at common law if unduly injured. He appre-
hended the question was one more within the department
of the Attorney-General than the Board of Trade.
SUPPLY.—FORCED LABOUR IN EGYPT.

THE ROMAN QUESTION.—We are informed on
reliable authority that her Majesty's Government
are not to have the last word on this serious matter, and
that statements will shortly appear which will throw a new
light upon Mr. Odo Russell's negotiations. If our infor-
mation be correct, Mr. Odo Russell has been compelled to
admit further inaccuracies in his reports to the Foreign-
office. To make things worse, it is said that the retracta-
tion has taken place in the presence of Cardinal Antonelli
himself, before whom Odo Russell has stated that it was he
who in every instance solicited audience of the Pope, and
confident
that he did so because he was instructed by the English
is
sovernment to proffer its hospitality to his Holiness; it
mised his Holiness

IRISH POOR LAWS.

Tho Earl of LIFFORD moved the first reading of a
bill for the amendment of the Irish poor law.

The motion was agreed to.
THE DUCHY OF CORNWALL.
The Duke of NEWCASTLE laid on the table the report
of the council of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales
on the condition of the Duchy of Cornwall.
TICKETS OF LEAVE IN IRELAND.
The Earl of CARNARVON moved for a copy of the
regulations with regard to the supervision to be exec cised
over the convicts on tickets of leave in Dublin. The noble
earl took the opportunity of correcting some misapprehen-
sion that had arisen from the statement of the noble earl
that supervision was not exercised over tickets of leave in
Dublin, a statement which was likely to catve very great
znif3hief.

Earl GRAN VILLE said there would be no objection to
the return moved for by the noble lord. It was quite true
that no police supervision was exercised over tickets-of-
leave in Dublin, but the fact was that convicts were looked
after and communicated with under the superintendence
of a gentleman who took great interest in the matter.

TEETH.-By MR. ESKELL'S INVENTION
(Royal Seal granted 17th •luly, 1860), Sets or partial
Sets of Teeth, exquisitely enamelled to nature, are made and
fitted in a few hours by means of his patented soft elastic and
imperishable base of the colour of the gum, to which it ad-
heres with wonderful tenacity, dispensing with springs or
unsightly fastenings, and defying detection by the closest
observer. The peculiar attribute of Mr. Eskell's invention
Is, the readiness with which these teeth can be re-adapted to
any change of the mouth (even by the wearer); and as they
act independently of all disturbing causes which affect teeth
of ordinary construction, they are guaranteed tk last a life
time, as w(11 as for mastication and articulation. Mr.

NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—The result of the
meeting, which lasted till a late hour last evening,
was that the amendment of Mr. Wrigley to the motion of
the chairman for the adoption of the report, was carried. A
poll was demanded, and in a short time, scrutineers having
been appointed, it was opened. The proxies and personal
votes lodged in favour of the directors largely preponde-
rated over those for the amendment. The poll will remain
open until Wednesday next.
CHANGES IN THE CONVICT PRISONS.—The larger
portion of female convicts who are at present located
in Milbank Prison are about to be transferred to Parkhurst
Prison, in the Isle of Wight. This change will vacate two
Pentagons of this building, which are urgently required for
the reception cf the unusually large body of convicts lately
sentenced, the result of the very great increase in the worst
class of crimes. Between 600 and 600 convicts are stated
to be in the various county and borough gaols awaiting
transfer to the charge of the Government authorities, andforwhom there exists at present no aceommodation.—Clva
Service Gazette.
SERIOUS CHARGE OF ABDUCTION. A serious
affair is now undergoing investigation at Faken-
ham,; Norfolk. It appears that Miss Jane Burrell, grand-

with one of her uncles, and
her uncle, Frederick Burrell, to whom it is positively stated
she was married at or near Woolwich. A. warrant having
been obtained for the apprehension of Frederick Burrell, he
was remanded and brought to Fakenham. The young lady
18 only 15 years of age.
A man named Martin, aged 112 years, was recently
is received into the hospital at Bayonne. It was thought that
illnessl would bring the old man's already long career to
closea ; but in a few days he was again on foot, and on his
8 ay home.

is 462,307,623.

TICKETS OF LEAVE IN IRELAND.
The Earl of CARNARVON moved for a copy of the
regulations with regard to the supervision to be exercised
over the convicts on tickets of leave in Dublin. The noble
earl took the opportunity of correcting some misapprehen-
sion !hat had arisen from the statement of the noble earl
that supervision was not exercised over tickets of leave in

._...,
Dublin, a statement which was likely to cause very great
mischief.

Earl GRAN VILLE said there would be no objection to
the return moved for by the noble lord. It was quite true
that no police supervision was exercised over tickets-of-

•
leave in Dublin, but the fact was that convicts were looked

after and communicated with under the superintendence
of a gentleman who took great interest in the matter.

REMISSION OF SENTENCES.

The Duke of MARLBOROUGH moved that an humble
address be presented to her Majesty for a list of persons
who have received a remission of sentence, under the terms
of the Home-office circular, dated 12th January, 1857, stat-
ing in each case the term of sentence passed, the portion of
the sentence undergone by the convict previous to his
being discharged, either in this country or the colonies,
and in what penal establishment, and also a list of per-
sons discharged since the time above-mentioned who
have been reconvicted, and the sentence passed.
The noble lord said his desire was to obtain the papers he
required to ascertain whether the circular had been a suc-
cess or not. He then referred again to the case of Red-
path, to show the inequality of punishment administered to
some convicts, and said a great deal of useful information
would be obtained by the documents he required.
Earl GRANVILLE asked the noble duke not to press
his motion, as it would be attended with very great ex-
pense and trouble to large numbers of parsons.
The Duke of MARLBOROUGH said he would post-
pone his motion until after the report of the Royal Com-
mission appointed to inquire into transportation was made,

POLAND.

Mr. W. EWART asked the the First Lord of the Trea-
sury whether any reliable account had been received of a
convention said to have been concluded between the Govern-
ments of Russia and of Prussia respecting the present state
of affairs in Poland ; and whether, in such case, there
would be any objection to communicate such information
to the house ?

Lord PALMERSTON believed there had been some
agreement of the nature specified with respect to the affairs
of Poland ; it was, he believed, to the effect that insurgents
might be pursued and taken in the territory of the other
in case of need. Force, he understood, was no tin any case
to be used. But that news was based on rumour, and the
Government was not, therefore, in a position to afford exact
information on this matter.

The Weather.--Sun Office, Feb. 21, 1863.
London, England, 1863-02-21

; peared in the semi-offic;ial press, also upon an inter-
cepted despatch published in the Czas,but the authen-
ticity of whichM. von Bismarck yesterday denied,
from which it would appear that unsolicited by the
Russian Government, the Berlin Cabinet had sent mi-
litary envoys to St. Petersburg to proffer assistance
and urge its acceptance. No admission of any kind
could be obtained from the Premier by this second
attempt to wring from him the truth concerning the
alleged convention. So a third attempt is to be
made in the form of a resolution, yesterday moved
by MM. Hoverbeck and Carlowitz, and which says
—" The Chamber of Deputies resolves to declare
that the interest of Prussia demands that the Go •
vernment should not afford assistance, or show
favour of any kind, to the Russian Government or
the insurgents in the insurrection that has broken
out in the Kingdom of Poland, and also should not
allow eitner of the contending parties to enter
Prussian territory without previous disarming."
The motion, supported by 134 deputies, was referred
to a committee, which has been chosen to-day.

CANADIAN MILITIA.

On the motion of Mr. A. MILLS, the following return
was ordered :—A copy of correspondence between the Sec-
retary of State for the Colonies and the Government of
Canada on the subject of the Canadian militia, since the
commencement of the year 1862.
SIR WILLIAM ARMSTRONG.

Mr. LAIRD asked the Secretary of State for War,
whether he had any objection to lay upon the table of the
house a copy of any correspondence that had taken place
between her Majesty's Government and Sir W. Armstrong
as to resigning his appointment : of any correspondence
between her Majesty's Government, Sir W. Armstrong, and
the Elswick Ordnance Company, as to the termination of
the contract between the Government and that firm : And
of any agreement or arrangement entered into for the
valuation of plant or otherwise connected with the Elswick
Works ?

Sir G. C. LEWIS replied that the Government had re-
ceived and accepted the resignation of Sir W. Armstrong.
Negotiations were now) pending at the present moment,
and hence it would not be advisable to produce the corre
spondence.
