PRUSSIA.

The question of voting an address to the K'ng
was discussed in the second Prussian Chamber on
Friday. BaroniVincke's address was put and lost,
and M. Bethmann-Hollweg's was withdrawn. M.
Manteuffel, the Prussian Premier, spoke briefly and
said, " There is no necessity for an address,
although the house can vote one if it wills to do so.
In that case, however, Ministers, considering the
present state of political affairs, will decline to ex-
plain the foreign relations of Prussia. We are at
peace with all powers, and must act with reserve."
M. Vincke in the course of the debate lamented
that Prussia was isolated from the great powers.
" Not from Russia r triumphantly exclaimed M.
Gerlach, a leader of the dominant court party—
" Not from Russia, a great power, and some say
the greatest."

TRADE WITH RUSSIA.

Lord J. RUSSELL said the hon. and learned member
for Plymouth (Mr. Collier) had given notice for to-morrow
night of his intention to call attention to the present state
of our trade with Russia. Now, as that was a matter
likely to giVe rise to considerable discussion, he put it
to the hon. and learned gentleman whether it would not
be better to postpone it until after the recess, rather than
allow it to interfere with measures of a pressing and
urgent character. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. COLLIER said the state of the Russian trade
was of so much importance at this peculiar time, that he
wag extremely anxious to call attention to it ; but, of
course, after the direct appeal of the noble lord, he had
no alternative but to give a reluctant assent to the noble
lord's proposal, and postpone his notice until after the
recess. (Hear.)

THE SAMARITAN INSTITUTION.

Yesterday the pedestrian wilting to brave the terrors
of mud and rain, between the hours of one and six p.m.,
might have seen how Christmas was kept at the Sama-
ritan Institution. This charity is located in Victoria.
street, not fir from Field-lane, long the famous cntrepot
of the more portable descriptions of stolen goods. Here,
throughout the afternoon, the visitor might have seen a
hundred persons of both sexes, and of various' ages, en-
joying the fare proper to the day--roast beef and plum-
pudding. The feasters, if they may be so called, were
the very poorest of a very poor neighbourhood, but they
were clean and well conducted, and really seemed to feel
grateful, without being oppressed with any sense of de-
gradation. The food was cpld, but first-rate in quality.
The raiding, &c., for the puddings had been presented
by the grocers of the neighbourhood. There were
I,ooolbs. of pudding, and dinner was prepared for 1,000
persons. Last year 1,600 dined there. At three
o'clock yesterday 500 had already dined, and crowds
were waiting outside, so that doubtless the platters were
cleared.- The Samaritan Institution (of which Sir Fitzroy
Kelly is the great patron) has for its object the improve-
ment of the sanitary, moral, and religious condition of
the labouring poor, the prevention of mendicancy, and
relief of destitution. The following are some of. the
statistics :—Last winter relief in food was afforded to
34,376 destitute persons ; during the half-year ending
in November, 13,193 attended divine service and re-
ceived scripture instruction ; 836 resorted to the free
registry for procuring employment ; and 22,376 house-
lees poor bad the free use of the baths and lavatories,
soap, blacking brushes, and razors being also provided
for them.

DEFENCES OF hvIT.--LFOliDthl! MAVEN.—Great n
t progress has
been lately made with
Haven. The Stack Rock has been completed for some
time, and the guns have been mounted and the works
garrisoned by •soldiers. Last week nine guns, 68-
pounders, were taken from the dockyard by the Prospero
steamer to Thorny Island, at the entrance of the haven,
where a fort has been newly erected. It commands not
only the mouth of the harbour, but also the whole Haven
up to Milford. The extensive works at Dale Point,
opposite Thorny, are progressing rapid:y. When com-
pleted, this battery will be able to cross fire with the
one on Thorny, and command the whole haven up to
Pembroke Dock, if the guns have a range long enough.

LIBERTY OF COMMERCE IN FRANCE.

Great sensation (says Galignani) has been caused
at Nantes and in the neighbourhood by the Govern-
ment having caused nine merchants of that city to be
prosecuted for having entered into a coalition for rais-
ing the price of salt meat sold to the Government.
The trial has just taken place before the Tribunal of
Correctional Police of Nantes, and has occupied several
days. The indictment set forth the following facts :
The Minister of Marine, in April last, made known in
different sea ports that he should require a large quan-
tity of salt meat for the navy. In August he demanded
at Nantes tenders for the supply of 800,000 kilogrammes;
only two tenders were mado—one at 145 fr., the other at
132 fr. 50e. the 100 kilogrammes. The Minister thought
those prices exorbitant, and refused to accept
them. Shortly after he demanded tenders for
000,000 kilogramme; but only one offer was made, and
that was at 137 f. 50c. the 100 kilos. He refused to ac-
cept that also. He made a third attempt to obtain
200,000 kilogrammes in four lots at a reasonable rate ;
but again he only received one offer which was at 127 f.
50c. This likewise was rejected. At the time these
sums were demanded from the government, the salt'
meat was sold in the markets ntrar Nantes at 70f. the
100 kilos. After the failure of the third attempt, the
kaltere out two delegates to miler with the 31144Atfil

AUSTRIA.

A. letter from Vienna,, in the://amburj Corres-
pondent, says that the coronition of the Emperor
of Austria is to take place in, March, and that

orders have been received for the purpose by seve-
ral jewellers.
The Universal German Gazette has the follow-
ing, under date of Prague, 20th :—" Although the
Austrian artillery now reckons 12 regiments, equal
to 12 corps of infantry, and a considerable num-
ber of field batteries (each regiment having 14
batteries of 8 gnus each), 20 new field batteries
are being organised, and when to the above is
added 20 rocket batteries, it will be seen that Aus-
tria has at her disposal a formidable force of artil-
lery. A number of these batteries are arranged to
make use of the gun cotton, and great impatience
is felt to learn the result of its use."

GENERAL SIR D. L. EVAIfS.

Sir De Lacy Evans had an audience of the Emperor
Napoleon nn Friday at 2 o'clock, and conversed a con-
siderable time with his Majesty. The particulars have
not, of purse, transpired, but we may safely infer that the
subject was the war in the Crimea. Sir De Lacy left
Paris on Saturday night, at 9 o'clock, for England, via
Boulogne.
The conduct of General Evans in the Crimea is
too fresh in the memory of the English people to
permit a doubt as to the manner in which he will
be received on his return, and even among some 0
the highest personages the opinion will be perhaps
different from what it was when he retired from
another service on a former occasion. Seventeen
years ago General Evans returned from Spain ; and
the criticisms which were passed on his conduct, during
the time he commanded the British Auxiliary Legion,
by the leaders of the Parliamentary Opposition of the
day are nut yet forgotten. Some of those leaders are
no longer living ; but such as survive would act well in
making the amends honorable for the bitter censure
they then expressed, not against the bravery of the
man, for even the most rancorous party never cast

doubt on that, but on his capacity for command. It
must be always painful to an honourable, high-minded
man to have his acts censured with injustice, his opi-
nions misunderstood or unfairly undervalued, and
often the basest motives assigned for his general
conduct. • It is no doubt consolatory to feel
that time will, sooner or later, prove the purity of
his motives, the soundness' of his views, and the
propriety of his acts ; and when that ardently de.
sired moment arrives his satisfaction must be great
indeed. Those who affected to believe General Evans
unfit even for the command of a brigade at the Camp of
Chobham must now feel that they were grossly in error;
and they who still more strongly denied him the most
ordinary quality of a chief, when named to the command
of the British Legion in Spain, would only do an act of
justice if, in the very place in which that erroneous judge
meat was pronounced, they now tendered a graceful re.
tractation. It is cruel, however, that some of the best
years of a man's life must pass before prejudice can be
removed and atoned for.

The Galignani says :—" We are happy to state that
this distinguished officer has fully recovered from the
effects of his wound, and that his geneml health, which
had been much shaken in the Crimea, has greatly im-
proved. On landing at Marseilles he was still very ill,
hut by devoting an entire week to the journey to Paris,
the ,repose and change of air. almost restored him to his
usual good state of health."

RUSSIA.

A despatch from Warsaw, of the 22d, states that
an Imperial ukase, published in that city, sets
forth, in consequence of the necessity of keeping
up the army and fleet, a new levy of 10 men in every
1,000 shall be made, and shall be terminated before
12th March. This levy, adds the despatch, will
give 200,000.
The liamburgh Hews states from Berlin, 19th,
that the last news respecting the health of the
Empress of Russia is unsatisfactory, a dysentery
having declared itself, which there has been no
other way of stopping but by opium.
A letter from St. retersburg contains interest-
ing particulars in relation to the Court and Im-
perial family of Russia. It says :--
" In consequence of the receipt of the affair •f the
sth of November the Empress has had a serious and
even alarming relapse. The courier found the Emperor
in the apartment of the Empress, awaiting the news
with feverish impatience, and when the truth was de-
clared to him, he could not restrain his feelings, but
broke out into the strongest expression of dissatisfaction
and anger against his generals and his army. One ex-
clamation which escaped him respecting his sons greatly
alarmed the Empress, who was aware that they were
with the army at Sebastopol ; she feared that some
terrible calamity had befallen them seeing the acr'ita-
tation of her husband, and she fainted away. She
remained for some time insensible ; and it was with
much difficulty that the Emperor and the attendants
succeeded in restoring her to animation. Sho became
more calm when informed that nothing had occurred
to her sons ; !but her health has beriously suffered from
the shock caused by the defeat of the army at Inker-
man, and she has now to struggle against an increase
of debility and a low fever. The greatest alarm is
felt for her, and her recovery is considered very doubt-
ful indeed. The solemnities of the anniversary of the
accession to the crown were very limited this year •
they were confined to a mere religious service in the
churches.

The St. Petersburg Journal contains the follow-
ing announcement of changes in the commands of
Russian army corps :

"1. General Murawieff I. from the command of the
corps of Grenadiers to that of the special Caucasian
army and vice-argaltz in the Caucasus, with all the
powers previously enjoyed by Prince Woionzoff.
"2. General Read, hitherto interim commander in
the Caucasus, is appointed aide-de-camp general to the
Emperor, member of the Council of State, and com-
mander of the 3d army corps.
" 3. General Osten-Sacken I. is removed from the
command of 3d to that of 4th corps, vice Dannenberg
(disgrac ed.)
"4. General Plautin to command Grenadier corps."

PEE FOREIGN LEGION:.

BERLIN, Dec. 23.—It,has already been stated in
The Sun that the project of organising a foreign
legion in and by England had created great, sensa-
tion and anxieties in Ministerial quarters, at this
place and elsewhere in Germany, and that every
possible measure would be adopted to thwart and
counteract the project. The stringent laws con-
nected with Prussia's military organisation and
landwehr system render these obstructions the
more easy, and these again are facilitated by the
hold which local and general police agents exercise
over the personal movements of all,.and especially
over the inferior classes. Spener's Journal of this
morning has the following on the subject, founded
upon au article of a Ministerial paper
As regards the proclaimed intention of the English
Government to raise a fm eign legion, the authorities
will be required to keep their eye well upon those who
make it a business to recruit men for foreign military service. According to all calculation, this will be pre-
vented on the grounds of our laws, as the criminal code
menaces with severe punishment both the recruiting
and the aiding or abetting the same, even when
the object is to engage non-military persons for the
service of not inimical Powers. Every Prussian, accord-
ing to our military code and the law of domicile (indi- '
genat), renders himself guilty of a misdemeanour who
quits Prussia without leave, if he do so between the
ages of 17 and 25, with the intention of evading his
duties in the standing array—as, aecording'to the last-
mentioned law, each Prussian, on accomplishing his
seventeenth year, is bound, on demanding permission to
be released from the circumscription of Prussian sub-
jects, to obtain a certificate from the district substi-
tute committee (that is, the mixed military and civil
committee for the -periodical inspection and enrol-
meet of recruits), to the effect that he does not make
the demand in order to escape his military obliga-
tions. Persons who quit their domicile without leave,
and do not present themselves to the district coin- '
mittee, lay themselves open to suspicion of this
intent. Relief men (recruits liable to service), and
reserve men (those who have served three years actively,
and must pass two years more in reserve before drop-
ping into first-class landwehr), are punishable as desez tern

THE CAVALRY IN IRELAND.

The cavalry regiments in Ireland have received orders
to raise each 120 men, instead of 60 already authorised,
for each of the cavalry corps in the East, and have been
directed to use every means in their power to have the
raen drilled within the prescribed period allowed for
cavalry instruction, viz., four months, in order that
strop.' reinforcements of draughts and remnants may be
ready for active service in the q3,ring. The commanding
officers have been instructed to pay every attention to

SPAIN.

The Spanish Cortes, on the 19th, resumed the
discussion of the address in reply to the speech
from the throne. The Minister of Foreign Affairs
announced the following as the programme of the
Cabinet :
" National sovereignty ; liberty of the Constituent
Cortes to decree with sovereign power the basis of the
Constitution, and to execute the object for which they are
convoked ; a constitutional throne with all the powers ne-
cessary to, and inherent in, such an institution ; the royal
sanction for ordinary laws ; individual liberty, without
any other limits than those required for the public
safety ; the right of petition and other similar rights,
subject to what the laws may decree ; equality before
the law ; religious unity, but respect of other forms of
religion than that established ; a strong Parliamentary
power ; organisation of the Parlament in two Chambers ;
the Parliament to meet at fixed periods, and the vote of
the budget to be annual ; refusal of taxes not voted by the
Cortes, and resistance to the payment thereof authorised ;
ministerial responsibility ; national guard ; enlightened
decentralisation ; peace and friendship with all
nations whatever may be their forms of go-
vernment; assimilation of the colonies to the Pe-
ninsula ; such an army as may be necessary ; judges
nominated for life ; respect of the church and its min s.
tern ; a general system of railways ; civil equality as
regards the distribution of paces ; special instruction
in arts and sciences in order to destroy the mania for
places; a free press, with trial by jury for offences."
The Minister, after reading the programme,
which was listened to with religious silence, warned
the Cortes not to indulge the illusion of supposing
that it could be carried into effect without calling
for numerous sacrifices on the part of all. He re-
quested the Cortes to say whether after hearing it
they considered the Cabinet entitled to continue
the administration of affairs. General Espartero
then spoke as follows :
"Gentlemen,—The nation is fatigued with political
convulsions, and it confides to the present Cortes the task
of consolidating it on solid bases. To realise this greatun-
dertaking, it is necessary to put an end to all sorts of dis-
sension. The ministry over which I have the honour to
preside will respect and cause to be respected the laws
adopted by the Assembly. The Congress will adopt the
laws which may be necessary for enabling the Spanish
nation governed by the constitutional throne of Isabella
11. to march decidedly in the path of progress. If any
one, for example, should wish to cause it to retrograde,
I would place myself at the head of the national guard
and the army to defend the laws. What I ask of you
before all things, gentlemen, is to compose a compact
and a good constitution."
This speech was applauded, and several deputies
warmly congratulated the General. The rest of
the sitting was not of any interest, no deputy of
note having spoken.

POSTAGE STAMPS FOR THE CRIMEA.

A copy of the following letter from Mr. W. Needham,
enclosing a sheet of postage stamps, has been addressed
to the commanding officers of fifty different regiments
and divisions of the army in the Crimea :--
" The Grange, Alfrcton, Derbyshire, Dec. 9.
" Having read with much interest numerous excellent
letters which have been written by privates and non-com-
missioned officers from the Crimea, and having seen that,
in some instances, they complain of a difficulty in obtain-
ing postage stamps, I have obtained sul. of penny stamps
for their use, as a small token of my regard ; and I take
the liberty of enclosing one sheet to you, which I hope you
will kindly distribute among the men under your command
at your discretion.
" I trust you will at the same time assure them of the
cordial sympathy we feel for their sufferings and privations,
and of the high gratification it gives us to see that the
improvement in the education of oar soldiers has not
tended to impair their discipline in the camp or their
courage in the field."
