At an early hour yesterday, a parcel was delivered by the de-
livery-cart in Craven-buildings, sealed up, which was gut
in at. l'huntree-street, Bloomsbury, and on the arrival of
Mr. 111atliews in town, various schemes were lira- I
posed to break it open, there being every reason to
suspect it contained materials of a combustible nature, al id I
on removing the outside paper there was a label on the bo.
with " a present from a friend, open Sesame," upon it. On.
being broken open by one of the carpenters, who stamped his
foot upon it, the strings which tied the label appeared to join
with three strings inside, which were intended to act as triggers;.
enclosing g unpowder, running along the lid,and by striking aNtinst
a number of lucifers placed immediately under, the explosion
would be produced. There was also a quantity of tow lying
in the bottom of the box, under a ledge along the other side of
the box, containing combustible materials. Had the carpenter
moved the strings some person present must have been seri-
ously injured, but such was fortunately not the case,
Sir F. Ror, after questioning the man who delivered the
parcel, and Mr. Lancaster, advised that every publicity shcould
be given to the circumstance, and ordered an officer to use :his
exertions to bring the perpetrators of such a diabolical dftd to
justice.

Mr. MATHEWS said he would give directions to have pit-
cards printed, offering a reward of 1001. for the conviction of
the offenders, and in the meantime avail himself of the assist-
ance of an officer to find them out.

adventure happily relieved the meetings at the Mermaid
Tavern, and the pageantry of Elizabeth's Courf. On the
present occasion, the " Bard of Avon" from the very hour
a his birth—kept by the Faeries as a high festival- —to the
moment when the brilliant success of his " Romeo- and.

made the character round whom all interest centres. it
was no bad idea to introduce among the adventures of The
youth of Shakspeare such persons and circumstances as
must, at an after period, have suggested the characters and
plots of the poet's dramas. Titania and Oberon keep revel
on the night of the poet's birth ; while among the Alder-
men's wives of Stratford, who figure in the early part- of
the tale, we find a Mrs. Page and Mrs. Ford, autl the
inimitable judicial group of Mr. Justice Shallow arm t Mc.;
satellites, presiding in the hall of Charlecote over the .trial
of the merry deer-stealer. The tuck, too, employed by
Hamlet, " to catch the conscience of the King," is hers:

by Lady Lucy—is
the heroine of the tale. Spenser S 3 d_

care with which every part of this tale is finished deserves
recognition. A raciness and geniality of spirit pervade its

Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN obtained leave to bring in a
Bill to amend the Registration of Voters in Ireland. The
Bill is to be similar to that of last year, and to make the

conversation.
Captain PECHELL asked leave to bring i■ a Bill to

gue.st gave his money or baggage to the landlord. The
ATTORNEY-GENERAL opposed the motion ; Mr. M.

ern:fined to Brighton. The House divided, and the
Gal:ant Captain was ungallantly refused by a majority

156 to 20.
Mr. BAINEs withdrew his motion for a Committee

vant?geous to our commerce,and the correspondence was
' rcquired to show what had been done. Lord PALMERSTON
resisted the motion on the ground that the matter in ques-

i other countties had no right to interfere, and was yet

Russia, it appears, is destined to find the con-
quest of the Circassian Tribes a work of more diffi-
culty than was ever anticipated by the least san-
guine of her Ministers. During the last year she has
had nothing but reverses to record in a country
which she imagined the very terror inspired by her
name would reduce to bondage. For several months
her official organs were instructed to publish lying
bulletins from the Generals in Circassia to the Impe-
rial Government, in which evety defeat was blazoned
forth .As a splendid victory ; but the presence of English
travellers near the theatre of war—led thither either
by sympathy or curiosity, and the necessity of con-
stantly sending large reinforcements to the invading

army, combined to make the real facts known to
Europe. But if the statements contained in the
following letter from Odessa, of the 6th ult., which
we copy from the Commerce, a French Paper of
Monday, be correct, Russia only begins to. feel
the dreadful results of her own aggressive policy.
The seeds of revolt have been long sown in her
army ; and the discontent of her Nobles keeps pace
with the spirit of insubordination which, on many
occasions, has recently been exhibited in the conduct
of her military serfs. That the EMPEROR is ex-
ceedingly popular among the native boors of
Russia is true ; but it is equally undoubted that he
is disliked by the Nobles, feared and hated by the
army, and regarded as a mere martinet by such
officers of his fleet as understand the elements
of seamanship. Uridcr these circumstances, the
symptoms of general disaffection manifested in the
events narrated in the following letter, must greatly
disturb the equanimity of the Imperial Cabinet.
We tremble for the fate of Mr. BELL :

A letter from Odessa, dated 6th February, is to the
following effect :—" The accounts which we receive from
Anapa are of the highest importance. The Lesghis (the
most numerous tribe of Circassians), who have been sub-
ject to Russia ever since 1829, have revolted against that
power. They have massacred the civil and military who
were in their villages ; nor have they stopped there ; they
have invaded Georgia, and have invited the inhabitants to
take arms against Russia. Genera Jest (Military Com-
mandant of the territory of the Lesghis) has beet. obliged
to make his troops retire into the fortified places till the
arrival of the reinforcements, for which he has applied to
General Golovine. The latter his sent General 017. ff
with a brigade of infantry and 12 regiments of Cossacks
against the rebels, and is going to march in person with
all the remaining troops that can be spared from 'reins.
He has even ordered the detached corps of General Re-
gewske to join him. It is doubtful whether it will be p ,s-
Bible to subdue the Lesghis, a warlike tribe, who have the
mostinviterate hatred ot every thing that bears the Itus-

sian name.
Desertion continues to prevail in our army, especially
among the Cossacks of the Black Sea, who desert in such
numbers that they are no longer employed in the advanetd

posts.
The Regiments of Infantry posted in the intrenchments
are guarded by the 1.),.;t1 Cossacks, tie only corps that re-
mained entirely faithful to the Czar. You may imagine
what is to be expected from troops whom it is necessary to
place under a guard in the presence of the enemy.
The revolt of the Lesghis is ascribed to Mr. Bell, the
agent of England in Circsssia. This indefatigable man,
who is well acquainted with the language and manners of
the people of the Caucasus, has introduced himself among
them under various disguises, and exhorts them to ris,
against the Russians. lie spares neither money nor pro.
mises to induce them.. It is affirmed that he has visited in
disguise Tefiis, and other towns of the countries subject to
the dominion of Russia, and that he has connections with
their inhabitants. - Accordingly, Lieut.-General Golovinc
has offered a reward ut 300 ducats, to whoever shall deliver
up Mr. 8,11, either dead or alive, at all events. it is
certain that no native will have the baseness to b, tray
Mr. Bell, whom all Cireasslans consider as their pro-
tector, as a man sent by [leaven to free them from the
Muscovite yoke. . _ . .

Prep trations are making I:ere to send 30,000 men to
Georgia by sea; and it is affirmed that 100,000 men have
already set out from the north of Russia for the same desti-
nation, by way of Moscow and the country of the Don
Cossacks. Those troops are not merely to fill up the
vacancies caused by disease, the sword, and desertion.

As to the project of sending troops to the assistance.
Persia, we are•assured that the army of reserve of 70,000
men, lately assetchlod fur that purpose in the southern
provinces of the empire, will rot march until England
should openly commence hostilities against the Shah.

The whole of the Paris Journals of Monday hive
been received. By four o'clock on that day the Go-
vernment had received telegraphic information of the
return of 160 deputies out of 459, of which 78 belonged
to the Opposition, and two were doubtful—thus leaving
the Ministers only the chance of a majority of two
votes. Of the 14 departments of the Seine, 8 returned
Opposition candidates, 4 Ministerial, and 2 continued
undecided. There appears no longer a doubt of the
defeat of Ministers. When the contest is decided, we
will publish a list of the returns, with the state of the
polls at the close of the election.
The Journal der Debals states that the Prince DE
JOINVILLE mistook the British packet Express for a
merchant-man, in the Gulf of Mexico. This is making
bad worse. 'Were this true, it would reflect no credit
on the Minister who appointed him Captain of a corvette.
There is not a cabin boy in the fleet, would be guilty of
such a professional blunder.
The Crown Prince of BAVARIA arrived in Naples on
his way to Greece to visit his brother, on the 15th ult.
He was treated by the KING and Royal Family with
great distinction. The Journal in which we find this
quotes the following frightful accident from a Neapolitan

Paper :
Last week a part of the building appropriated to
foundlings was destroyed by fire. The flames spread so
rapidly that twenty-three children perished. One of the
nurses, in her despair, threw herself out of the winch.w
with two children in her arms; all three were found
dashed to pieces, and quite dead, in the street. The firemen
distinguished themselves by their efforts, three of them
were killed, having fallen from the upper story to the lower,
where they were buried under the ruins. The institution
is very defective, only small portable fire-engines are used,
which are utterly useless when the flames spread rapidly.
However, the houses being built with great solidity, the
danger is not great, and there is hardly ever any reason to
fear that fire will extend to the adjoining buildings.
