too deeply, and that after they bad generously
spared her in the hour of triumph. FRANCIS
JOSEPH can never forget that, in all military
honour, he should be the vassal of Hungary rather
than its oppressor. History he knows will write
him possessor of the throne by the most degrading
of methods—that of calling in foreigners to put
him on it, while it will assign equal honour to the
Hungarian generals and Governor. Hard will it
be for him to give back the gains of his perfidy.
We confess, however, we begin to have some
hopes of what this selfish and dastardly Power
may be driven to. The lord of the Cossacks and
Calmucks would seem to be getting really angry
with his servile old friend. We know, indeed,
how suspicious any diplomatic language must be,
nor should we think much of any appearances but
those which are too costly to be mere appearances.
But it must be owned that the movements of the
Russian troops towards the Austrian frontiers and
Warsaw—and that, too, when the operations of
the Allies are directed, and likely to be so, to
quite other fields—does look as if the CZAR in-
tended to intimidate Austria, and something more
perhaps. While pursuing an undisguisedly selfish
course throughout, Austria has yet managed to
affront the relentless NICHOLAS most deeply. She
was obliged to promise to keep Russian troops out
of the Principalities after they were out, or she
would not been let in to them, not even by our
English Ambassador. This affront she tried to
smooth by not even appearing to try to drive
them out. Unluckily, however, she was unable to
refuse permission to the Allies to operate against
Russia in the Principalities, for they choose to do
it whether she liked or not. She became, there-
fore, sorely against her will, a covert to the Allied
flank for any operation against Bessarabia. Upon
this followed the affront of the over-hasty congra-
tulations on the Victory of the Alma "and its con-
sequences." Can the enraged despot of St. Peters-
burg ever forgive that insult in the face of all
Europe ? Austria herself seems now to feel that
she is to a great extent committed, and it may be

that she has real cause to dread an attack at the
season when the Allies can render herlittle or no aid,
and that will, of course, be the time of Poland's
hope. Austria may couutervrork any designs of
Russia to raise the Hungarians, by hoisting the
standard of Polish Independence; and if she could
bring herself to do frank justice at the same time
to Hungary, Russia would be completely para-
lysed. Not a Polish soldier in her legions could
then be trusted ; not a portion of her territory
could be left without soldiers, while Hungary
would be a source of strength to Austria instead
of weakness. NICHOLAS, in a word, must keep at
home. With the return of spring he would hare

other work to do than to trouble Austria. From
Finland to Prussian Poland in the Baltic, and
from Bessarabia to Georgia in the South, he
will have full occupation
~for every soldier ; and
moneyless and shipless, he will have to watch as
he best can the attacks of enemies who can land

their troops at will on any shore in his dominions.
All Europe is now aware that permanent safety
against Russia is identical with the restoration of
Poland.

A deputation from the town council of Shrewsbury
had an interview yesterday with the President of tie
General Board of Health, at his office, Whitehall, with
respect to the sanitary regulation and management of
the borough. The deputation consisted of Mr. Alder-
man Haycock and Mr. Josh. John Peele, town clerk.
Sir William Molesworth arrived in town yesterday

Lord Chief Justice Campbell and family arrived yes-
terday at Stratheden House from Vienna.

LIE IRISH REPRESENTATIVE PEERAGE.—Lord Bangor
is to succeed to the vacancy in the Irish representative
peerage, occasioned by the death of Lord Dunalley.
GLASGOW.—The Earl of Glasgow has subscribed 3001.
to the Patriotic Fund.—Daily Mail.

THE EXHIBITION AT MUNICH.—The ceremony of clos-
ing the Exhibition at Munich took place on the 18th.
We have been informed that Mr. Soup, the Minister
of the United States at Madrid, who made himself so
notorious some time ago by his quarrel with U. Turgot,
the French Minister at the same Court, was on Tuesday
lest refused permission to enter France en his way from
this country to Madrid.—Times.

Colonel Outram, C. 8., formerly Resident at Baroda,
and more recently the Political Resident and Military
Commandant at Aden, has been appointed by the Gover-
nor-General of India to the office of British Representa•
tive at Lucknow.

THE SCOTCH FUSILIER GUA.RDS.—This regiment,
which suffered severely compared to the Grenadier and
Coldstream Guards, numbered nearly all Scotchinen.
There were scarcely more than a dozen English and
Irish amongst the stain at the Alma, in this distinguished
corps.
DEATH OF LIEUT.-GENIRA.L EWART, C.B.—Viscount
Hardinge has the coloneley of another regiment of the
line the 67th) placed at his disposal by the demise of the
a,',ove gallant and venerable officer, at his residence in
St. John's-wood, on Monday, at an advanced age.
THE LATE LORD CHEWTON.—The officers of the
Guards are about to erect a cenotaph to the memory of
their departed companion in arms, the late Captain
Viscount Chewton, who died from the effects of his
wounds received at the Alma. We believe that the
monument will be placed in the military chapel at the
Bird-cage-walk, close to that of Major Fitzroy Somerset,
eldest son of Lord Ra,;lan, who died gallantly fighting
at the Battle of Moodkee.
DEATH OF LORD FREDERICK LEVESON GOWER.—Lord
Frederick Leveson Gower, second son of the Duke and
pu is among the latest victims to
theche
severity o
ritfy SofutthheerdElnanstern campaign. His lordship died
on board H.M.S. Bellerophon, now on her voyage back
to England. This gallant young nobleman, although
suffering severely from illness previously contracted at
Varna, persisted in accompanying his comrades to the
Crimea. When the troops lauded at Eupatoria, he was
so weak that it was found impossible to convey him
ashore, and his lordship was on his way home when cut
off thus prernaturely.—M °ming Post.

The name of the Earl of Eglinton was mentioned
yesterday as one of the neblemeo nominated for the
Garter. This was a manifest typographical error. The
Earl of Elgin is the nobleman upon whom her Majesty
has graciously signified her intention of conferring the
Garter, vacant by the demise of the Marquis of
Anglesea.

A KNIGHT OF THE GARTER.—It is reported that
the Emperor Nicholas has called upon a high Walla-
chian functionary to restore the decoration bestowed
upon him during the occupation of the Principalities by
Russia, seeing that he has since their evacuation gone
over to the side of Austria and the Porte. Strange
that it did not occur to the Czar, when issuing this man-
date, that by the same rule he ought to restore the
insignia of the Garter to Queen Victoria.
ANOTHER ARCTIC EXPEDITION.--Dr. Rae, of the
Hudson's Bay Arctic Expedition, had an audience with
Sir James Graham on Tuesday, at the Admiralty, on
the subject of his discovery of the probable fate of Sir
John Franklin and his companions. The interview oc-
cupied a considerable time, in the course of which, we
understand, Sir James Graham announced the intention
of the Government to send out early in the ensuing
spring an expedition, in order to make further search
for the remains spoken of by the Kiquitnaux, and the
command of the expedition was offered to Dr. Rae.—
Shipping Cazette.
THE LIBEL CASE.—SECOND DAY.—REV. DR. TIDMAN
V. REV. R. AlNSLlE.—Yesterday the proceedings in this
case were resumed before W. Whately, Esq., Q.C., in
the Exchequer Chambers, Westminster Hall. A large
number of influential laymen and Dissenting ministers
were again present. The case was again adjourned.
ROBBERY OF 3481. AT A RAILWAY STATION.—The
police received information yesterday of four robberies
that were effected at the railway station, Hereford. The
aggregate amount stolen exceeds 3481., and the thieves
are supposed to belong to the London swell mob, so
adroitly was the property transferred from the possession
of the rightful owners.
