condemned to death by the Austria.' n court-martial
at Bologna, on a charge of having c ;onspired to set
a large barrack on fire, for the purpose of giving
the signal for a general outbreak. The Pope has
ordered the revision of the proceer lings against the
four persons lately condemned to death at Faenza,
and who had excited such interest in that town, as
to lead to a proposition to send r deputation to the
Pope to intercede in their favor. tr. The Pope's re-
prieve, however, arrived bef,Jre the deputation
had been formed. The proceedings in the case
of , the murder of Count Pellegrino Rossi are
stated by this correspondent to fill several reams of
paper, and even the mere resume of it is described
as being of immense length. The case is to be
brought before the Consulta in the course of next
month. AM. Grandoni, a landowner and ex-co-
lonel, who had been in prison for the last five years,
is mentioned as being among th e accused ; but it is
generally believed that he is innocent. All the
hersons arrested during the last days of the carnival
ave been set at liberty, but c,n condition of their
not leaving Rome without tEe express permission
of the police.

CONTINENTAL RATES OF ExcrlifitE.—The closing
accounts from the Paris Bourse yesterday afternoon
showed a slight recovery, as compared with Tuesday,
although the opening prices had not been fully main-
tained. At Vienna, on the contrary, the distrust is
almost beyond precedent, and the Austrian funds have
experienced another fall of nearly 1 per cent., while the
rate of exchange on London has advanced more than 3
per cent., the quotation being 14. At Turin the Go-
vernment proposals for a new Sardinian loan of about
1,500,0001. have been adopted by the Legislative Cham-
ber. From St. Petersburg the letters are to the 21st
inst., but they contain no remarks on politics. The
quotation of exchange was 334 d. to 340. The French
exchange remains without alteration, and, although the
recent arrivals of Australian gold are likely to be sent to
Paris, it is improbable that any further amounts will
be taken from the Bank of England.

PREPARATIONS AT CRONSTADT.

The extracts from St. Petersburg letters of the
14th, say the Russians appear to be firmly con-
vinced that, even if
_things go well with the allies,
only a part of the fleet will be fit for service
by the time it gets up to Cronstadt. The sand-
banks are numberless, and, in addition to these,

the ships will have to contend with the Schee-
ren flotilla, which is likely to be very destruc-
tive to single vessels. This flotilla is stationed
behind the Scheeren (the archipelago of islets and
reefs or ri+lges of rocks which line the coast on both
sides of the thltic is so called), where there is not
sufficient depth of water for larger vessels. It is
supposed that in the operations against Sweaborg,
Oesel, and Revel, the allies will suffer severely.
The greater part of the Russian fleet is at Cron-
stadt, " which is being fortified so as to bid defiance
to all attacks." The island is connected with the
continent by means of an artificial dam, which is
covered with batteries. The strand batteries which
command the channel leading up to the harbour
have been doubled, and before Cronstadt can be
attacked these batteries, which contain 800 guns of
the largest calibre, must be destroyed. There are
three artillery parks in reserve. A private letter
of the 15th, from Stockholm, also speaks of the
fearful preparations of the Russians for defence.
The Grand Duke Constantine had been a whole
fortnight at Helsingfors superintending the
works. It is generally believed the first hostile col-
lision will take place at the island of Oesel, which
may be considered as the advanced post to Revel.
Sweaborg is so protected by sand-banks, reefs,
and strand-batteries, that au attack is almost im-
possible. " The Russian fleet is perfectly secure
at Sweaborg, and it may render good service against
the allies when they return." All the lamps have
been removed from the lighthouses, and the buoys
taken up, so that the most experienced Russian
pilots would be at a loss to find their way up to
Cronstadt.

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

A BET-3eFARLANE V. BROWN.

This was an action to recover the small sum of 17s.
6d. for money lent.
Mr. W. H. Garry appeared for the defendant, and
admitted that 12s. 6d. had been borrowed, but defendant
had deposited a very interesting specimen from one of
the Cornish mines as security. As to the 55., the de-
fendant positively denied having borrowed it, but said
that he was playing a game at backgammon, when plain-
tiff made a bet to back him. He (defendant) did not
bet, but lost the game. Plaintiff said, "So You've lost
and have got to pay," and he banded the money over.
After some discussion, his Honour made an order for
the payment of 12s. 6d., but the mineral must be given
up.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)

IN BE DONALD WLEAN.

This bankrupt was formerly the member, for Oxford,
and was made bankrupt as a brickmaker, in consequence
of his having made bricks for building on his own estate.
The bankruptcy took place during the absence of the
bankrupt abroad in consequence of ill-health, and the
fiat was disputed without success, and after several ad-
journments the bankrupt did not surrender, he was pro-

ceeded to realise the assetts.
The total debts (some secured) amount to 140,0001.,
and about 50,0001. proved, in two dividends of is. to-
gether, have already been paid. This was a meeting for
declaring a further dividend, which will be a mere frac-
tion, as there is only about 3901. in hand over the ex-
penses.

leave next week. The sth Dragoon Guards, stationed
at Ballincollig, under command of Colonel the Hon.
James York Scarlett, also under orders for the East,
are to leave for Dublin to embark for Liverpool, whence
they will proceed to Boulogne. From that port they
proceed to Marseilles, where they again embark for such
destination as may be deemed advisable. This route for
the cavalry is said to b. e determined on for the purpose
of keeping thelorses in condition and ready for action.
A strong detachment of the Royal Artillery, with 75
horses, arrived, here yesterday from Limerick, to em-
bark for Bristol, for the purpose of being conveyed to
the seat of war. These horses, with about 60 from
Ballincollig, will be embarked this afternoon in the
Sabrina steamer.

CONTINENTAL RATES OF EXCIIANGE.—The closing
accounts from the Paris Bourse yesterday afternoon
showed a slight recovery, as compared with Tuesday,
although the opening prices had not been fully main-
tained. At Vienna, on the contrary, the distrust ig
almost beyond precedent, and the Austrian funds have
experienced another fall of nearly 1 per cent., while the
rate of exchange on London has advanced more than 3
per cent., the quotation being 14. At Turin the Go-
vernment proposals for a new Sardinian loan of about
1,500,0001. have been adopted by the Legislative Cham-
ber. From St. Petersburg the letters are to the 21st
inst,, but they contain no remarks on politics. The
quotation of exchange was 33id. to 341 d. The French
exchange remains without alteration, ”d, although the
recent arrivals of Australian gold are likely to be sent to
Paris, it is improbable that any further amounts will
be taken from the Bank of England.

THE SCOTTISB HOSPITAL.

Yesterday, at one o'clock, a Quarterly Court of the
Governors of the Scottish Hospital was held at the Hall
of the Corporation, Crane-court, Fleet-street, to receive
the report for the past quarter, ending the Bth of March.
Dr. JOHN WEBSTER, a governor, in the chair.
Major ADAIR, the secretary, read the report, which
showed that the sum of 6081. 7s. had been distributed
in charity to 629 applicants, exclusive of that given to
those on the select list, &c.
The receipts for the quarter amounted to 1,1441. 125.,
which included 4531. 2s. balance in hand, 3871. 53.
donation in 3011. 2s. annual subscriptions, &c.
A sum of 8101. 11s. was given in charities, and after
paying the necessary charges there remained 1461. 13s.
as balance in hand.

The report being received and adopted,—
The School Committee presented a special report, in
compliance with a resolution of the Court, held on the
4th January last, which was to the effect that the
schools connected with the 7 Metropolitan Charities, in
connexion with the Established Church of Scotland,
were established in consequence of remittances from
several Scotchmen in India, to which were added several
donations from Scotchmen 'in England and Scotland,
among which was a sum of 300/. from the late Sir C.
Forbes, Bart., a fund was formed, the interest of which,
in the year 1840, was appropriated to the support of the
several schools.

The committee recommended a gratuity of 201. (in-
cluding school books) to the schools.
The report was received and adopted, when the Cor-
poration seal was affixed to a power of attorney to trans-
fer a sum of 2,0001. South Sea Stock into the funds.
In answer to a Governor,
The SECRETARY stated, in reference to the contem-
plated improvements adjoining the Corporation-hall,
that the City Commissioners, upon the new street reach-
ing their premises, intended to give them a new and
handsome front on the line of street, upon certain ar-
rangements being entered into between the Governors
and the City Corporation.
Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the Court
separated.

LINARES LEAD MINING COMPANY.—At a meeting of
this company, held yesterday, a dividend of 15s. per
share was declared, and the report of the directors was
unanimously carried. It was stated that returns are
steadily increasing, and that the erection of new works,
although requiring some outlay, has greatly facilitated
operations. Recent discoveries have proved satisfactory,
the estimated supply of ore having considerably aug-
mented. Although the amount of profit would have
enabled the directors to declare a larger dividend, they
have refrained from recommending one, the desirableness
of an available cash balance to extend works, if neces-
sary, and to meet promptly any expenditure, being a
consideration of importance at the present juncture.
THE ROYAL DECLARATION OF WAR.—The liberal and
unambiguous terms of the royal declaration of war, as
regards the commerce of neutrals, gave great satisfaction
to-day to the commercial community, and especially to
the merchants engaged in the Russian trade.
[ADVERTISEMENT.I—A LIEUTENANT OF DRAGOONS
CURED OF RHEUMATISM BY HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT

states that Holloway's Pills and Ointment have cured
him of rheumatism, which appeared to be incurable, as
neither sea-bathing, vapour-baths, nor preparations vaunted
as sure remedies, did him any good, and the treatnvnt of
the doctor, after several months' trial, was withc xtJ)uc-
cess. At this juncture ho commenced taking the pills
and rubbing the Ointment into the complaining parts
twice a day, which effectually cured him in the course of
six weeks. The truth of this statement can be vouched for

GERMAN POWERS.

A telegraph despatch says, a rumour was in cir-
culation yesterday (Wednesday) at Vienna, that a
memorandum had been drawn up by the Austrian
Government, which declared that it would consider
the passage of the Danube as a violation of existing
treaties. This report was received with general
satisfaction.

The sth, 6th, 7th, and Bth corps of the army of
Italy had been placed on the war establishment.
A letter from Vienna, in the Czas, says—Tn the
audience which Baron de Meyendorff had with the
Emperor, his Excellency handed to his Majesty a
note from the Cabinet of St. Petersburg, in which
the neutrality of Austria, in accord with Prussia
and the Germanic Confederation, is recognised.
Russia declares herself satisfied with that attitude
of Central Europe. The eventual occupation of
Servia and Bosnia is agreed to as in conformity
with the policy of neutrality. M. de Fonton ;s
to proceed from Bucharest to Belgrade to pay
attention to this afair.

We find the following in the Austrian Corre-
spondence :—" The Austrian Government has just
addressed a despatch to its ambassadors and diplo-
matic agents to the States of Germany, by which
they are at present authorised to express the hope
of the Cabinets of Vienna and Berlin that all the
States of the Germanic Confederation will unite in
the efforts of Austria and Prussia in support of a
policy conformable to German interests.
A letter from Berlin of the 26th says :—" In all
parts of the kingdom hatred of Russia is manifested
in the most striking way. Count Sch serin, Pre-
sident of the Second Chamber, has received letters
congratulating him on his patriotic conduct in the
Chamber. It is generally known that the Govern-
ment cannot under any circumstances join Russia.
If the least doubt existed on this point, addresses
would be sent up en masse. It is known that at
Vienna public opinion is entirely in favour of the
Western Powers. The venerable patriot Arndt
has just published a work entitled Pro Populo
Germanico, which contains judioious reflections on
the Eastern question.

CONSTANTINOPLE.

Advices from Constantinople, of the 20th, in-
form us that the Retribution found the Sulina
mouth of the Danube impassable. The fleet was
still at Beicos. The Russian fleet was said to have
come out into the Black Sea.

content of the Mussulinans.

It was said that a portion of the expeditionary
troops will garrison the Dardanelles.

WONDROUS POWERS OF CREDULITY.

Strange, if not impossible, as the fact may appear, we
cap state, on the very best authority, that Lord Aber-
deen is not even yet convinced that we shall have war
with Russia. We believe we are correct, not only as to
the substance, but as to the very words made use of by
the noble Elrl on Saturday night, alter the arrival of
Colonel Blackwood from St. Petersburg, when speaking
to a near relative on the subject. His words were—" I
expect a counter project from the Czar, which, I hope,
will yet set all right." Surely the force of credulity
could no further go.—Morning Advertiser.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

Yesterday a court was held.

RELIGIOUS TOLERATION.

Upon the motion of Mr. JAMES ANDERTON, seconded
by Deputy LOTT, it was unanimously agreed that the
court should petition both Houses of Parliament to
abolish or alter the oaths called the oaths of allegiance,
supremacy, and abjuration, and that all classes of her
Majesty's subjects may be rendered equally eligible to
fluid public offices of trust without reference to their
religious opinions.

CHANGE OF DAY OF SALE OF CATTLE.
Upon the motion of Mr. ANDERTON, it was referred
to the markets committee, and also to the markets im-

CITY OF LONDON GE_VEI6 4L PENSION

SOCIETY.

Last evening the anniversary festival of this institu-
tion was celebrated at the London Tavern, under the
presidency of Lord Stanley, M.P., who was supported
by Mr. B B Ctbbell, M.P. (High Sheriff of Norfolk),
the Rev. Joseph-Brown, the Rev. Mr. Lusignan, &c.
In proposing the toast of the evening the noble chair-
man said the society was formed in 1818,' three years
after the late protracted war, when, from various circum-
stances, great national distress prevailed. The founder
of the institution was the late Duke of Kent, the father
of her present Majesty, who was now a patroness of
the society. In the first year six persons were ad-
mitted pensioners; and in the second year that number
was increased to nine. The society grew and flourished
rapidly, and in its ninth year no less than 90 persons were
admitted, and altogether 600 persons had participated in
its benefits. This was in 1827-28, when the society ap-
peared to have reached its culminating point, no less than
268 persons being admitted to the benefits of the society
in 1828.9, and the sum give away amounting to 9,7001.
From some cause or other, which it was difficult to
ascertain, the funds of the society rapidly fell, and in
1840-41 they were obliged to reduce not only the
number of their pensioners but the allowance to them.
The funds, however, had since increased, and the
full amount of the pensions had been restored, and
their income now amounted to 1,0001. per annum,
from which 44 persons received pensions. If that
society was not so extensive as it had formerly been, it
was satisfactory for them to reflect that it was the first
of its cl .ss, and that numerous flourishing institutions
had since been established on the same model. His
lordship concluded by drinking " Success and Prosperity
to the City of London General Pension Society."
The toast was drunk with the greatest enthusiasm,
and, at the close of the evening, subscriPtionS were an-
nounced amounting to 3001.
The musical arrangements were under the direction of
Mr. Genge, assisted by the Misses Wells, Mr. Smyth-
son, and the Masters Sola and Williams. Mr. Harker
was the toastmaster. '
