THE NEW JUDGE.

Mr. Crowder, Q.C., of the Western Circuit, has been ap-
pointed judge iu the place of the late Mr. Justice Talfourd.
On that circuit there was a general hope that Mr. Crowder
might be selected ; as soon, however, as it was known that
Mr. Russell GurnCy had been sent to Stafford, it was supposed
that no one would be uorninatod until after the circuits, and
that, in the event of Mr. Crowder being selected, he would be
allowed to finish his circuit, and hold his sessions at Bristol.
Upon his arrival at Liskeard, on his route for Bodmin, he was
rather surprised to find a gentleman canvassing the electors
and making preparations to succeed him, and upon reaching
Bodmin he found a letter, offering him the vacant seat ou
the bench. As soon as the learned judges arrived, Mr. Crow-
der called upon them to intimate that they would no longer
see him in his accustomed place in the court, and he shortly
afterwards left Bodmin for Liskeard.

Mr. Crowder has been many years on this circuit, and for
several years he has been the leader. He has gained his high
position by unwearied application and anxiety for the interests
of his clients.

" Friday, Feb. 10.—Having allowed the Erzeroum Persian
caravans of more than 500 horses, and our ammunition one
of 200, to move off to form a track, we started at eight a.m.
Our route was over one continued plain, covered with snow
five and six feet deep, in which, from a thick drift, we often
deviated from the right course. Occasionally, when the sun
shone out and dispersed the thick mist, the scene on looking
back (for we generally kept well ahead) was curious and
animated; nearly 800 horses, loaded with goods and bag-
gage of all kinds, each horse keeping a short dis-
tance from the preceding one, and men being between
every ten or twelve, shouting and hallooing to make
them move on, lengthened the winding line to such a degree,
that at one perlod-when the atmosphere was quite clear I
calculated it to be full three miles in extent. At length at
half-past two we reached Erzeroum, after a tedious and
hazardous journey of 11 clays, sometimes performed (with
post horses and baggage) in five or six clays, in bad weather
in eight, and rarely extending to the time we were compelled
to take ; but this is the worst month for travelling in these
elevated and sterile regions, February having the collected
snow of the throe preceding months, still falling, and without
any chance of a thaw till the end of next month. Haireddin
Pasha, with all his efforts and the aid rendered him, ar-
rived only two days before us. Erzeroum is at present full
of infantry, 10,000 in number ; and, as they occupy all the
khans and public buildings, we found the greatest difficulty
in procuring a small room to rest our wearied limbs in. I
was frostbitten in my fingers and one side of my face, and
with difficulty, after half-au-hour's rubbing, was circulation
restored ; the skin of my face all blistered, and my eyes so
inflamed and painful that it is with difficulty I have been able
to pen this scrawl. So intense is the cold at and near Kars
that day and night sentries are frequently frozen to
death at their posts. There has been no news of any in-
terest from Kars for some time past, the communication
being nearly stopped, and nothing is expected to take
place till the spring. General Guyon, is, however, hard at
work, or,aniziug and disciplining that portion of the army
intrusted to him with the greatest zeal and activity. He is
named Koorsehid Pasl.a, or Pasha of the Sun. The last ac-
counts, to the 4th, brought in last night, state that there are
many sick.

Izeioum is 6,200 feet above the level of the sea, and (as
the crow flies) 180 miles from Trebizoud, but we must have
zigzagged at least 220, passing nearly the whols way along
the sierra mountains, and not across them."

GERMAN POWERS.

The Paris correspondent of the Morning Chro-
teiolc, in his letter dated yesterday, says :—" I
'understand that on the 15th of the present month
couriers were sent off simultaneously from Paris
and London, calling upon Austria to join England
and France in carrying into execution against
Russia the protocol agreed to some time ago by the
representatives of the four Powers at Vienna.
Yesterday the French Government received de-
spatches from Vienna, with the answer of the
Austrian Government. It appears that the Aus-
trian Government declares that it is ready to sign
all the protocols which guarantee the indepen-
dence and integrity of Turkey, but it refuses to
accept any engagement binding itself to act ; and
reserves to itself full liberty to do whatever it
may consider advisable in the interests of Ger-
many. This is nearly the same answer as that
used by Prussia ; and it is to be feared that at
"Vienna Russia triumphs as she has done at Berlin.
M. Thouvenel, the director in the Department of
Foreign Affairs, has gone to Vienna, and the object
of his journey, it is said, is to support the call made
on Austria by the French Government. M. Thou-
Tenel is expected back in a few days.
Letters were received in Paris yesterday, from
Berlin, which state that the Prussian Government
is greatly alarmed at the popular demonstrations
which are in course of organisation in the north of
Prussia, for the purpose of welcoming the English
and Turkish fleets on their arrival in the Baltic,
and of forcing the Prussian Government to take
part in the war against Russia.
Despatches from Vienna of the 20th, mention that
on that day M. Meyendorff, Russian minister at
that court, had an audience of the Austrian Em-
peror, by special request, immediately on the re-
turn of the latter from Munich. It is asserted that
at this interview the Russian minister preferred
claims upon Austria of a very important character.

TUE WAR IN THE EAST.

Letters from Constantinople state that the tri-
partite treaty between the Porte and England and
France was signed on the 12th at Constantinople.
From Beyrout, March 6, we learn that the
French steamer Serieuse was missing.
It is not certain, says the Times Paris correspon-
dent, writing yesterday at 6 p.m., that the formal
reply of the Emperor of Russia to the Anglo-
French ultimatum has as yet been received here.
What that answer will be, however, is not doubted.
It does nof much matter after all whether the an-
swer has been received or not, as the silence of the
Cabinet of St. Petersburg beyond the time allowed
for a, reply will be considered as a refusal, and it is
pro))able that the Governments are quite as well
avirere of the nature of it as if they already had it
in their possession. The end of this month will
probably be the legal period of the opening of hos-
ti'lities. The Black Sea will be practicable about
the 15th April, and serious operations on a large
scale can scarcely commence before that period, un-
lcss the season become advanced earlier than usual.

R. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
FLEET-STREET, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW
DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL. TEETH, fixed without, springs,
wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth,
as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer ;
they will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to
any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the ex-
traction of roots, or any painful operation, and will snpp)rt and pre-
serve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation
and mastication. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful In mas-
tication.
