PLAN OP THE TOWN AND HARBOUR

OF ODESSA.

Mr. Wyld, with his usual skill and promptitude,
has just published a very beautiful plan of the
town, harbour, and Bay of Odessa—now rendered
so interesting and important. The town appears
to be very large, verging close on the Black Sea.
There are two harbours, about half a mile apart,
the Imperial Port and the Quarantine Port, formed
by moles run out into the sea and mounted
with batteries. The Citadel commands the Quaran-
tine Port, which is about twice the size of the other.
The bay is large, extending from Cape Langeron,
near the Citadel, on the south-west, to Cape Dem-
brovsky, on the north-east, a distance of about
five miles, with soundings ranging from 30 to 50
feet all over. There seems to be 40 feet water
within half a mile or less of the Citadel and Qua-
rantine Port. The bottom is composed of sand and
shells in the Bay, and mud and weeds near the har-
bour. There are two lights, 86 and 74 feet high,
on the moles. There would seem little difficulty in
taking the town with a strong land force, and that,
I once captured, the citadel would soon fall, attacked
by land and water.

TILE QUEEN'S VISIT TO DRURY-LINE

THEATRE.

Her Majesty has signified her intention of visiting the
Royal Opera at Drury-lane, this evening, to witness
Weber's Der Frieschutz, which will be performed in
German. The principal parts in the opera will be thus
supported :—Agatha, Madame Caradori ; Anna, Mdlle.
Sedlazek ; Max, Herr Reichardt ; and Caspar, Herr
Formes. It is gratifying to see royal patronage be.
stowed upon such a laudable, yet hazardous undertaking,
as that of providing for the people operatic entertainments
of the highest degree of excellence, at the ordinary
theatre prices. Hitherto the houses have been nightly
crowded, and this visit of our gracious Queen may be
looked upon as a good omen of the future success of the
experiment.

STAMP DUTIES.

In reply to Sir H WILLOUGHBY,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
should lay the bill on stamp duties on the table on Friday
next, but he did not propose to take a vote on it then.
RAILWAY LEGISLATION.
Lord J. RUSSELL said if the house had no objection
he should propose to go on with the railway bin this even-
ing, before they proceeded to consider the other orders.
After a few words from the Marquis of CHANDOS,
Mr. CARDWELL said Iv; was perfectly willing to pass
the bill through committee pro forma now, and then to
reprint the bill.
The other orders having been postponed for the purpose,
Mr. CARDWELL moved that the Speaker do leave the
chair for going into committee on the bin.
Mr. RICARDO moved that the debate be adjourned, as
this was an entirely new bill; and there ought to be time
for considering it.
Mr. HUDSON did not object to go into committee now.
Mr. T. DUNCOM BE had come down to the house under
the impression that they were to take the Oxford Univer-
sity Bill the first thing, lint now it appeared this railway
bill was to be smuggled through. He was afraid the Go-
vernment had succumbed to the railway interest, and the
public interest was about to ba sacrificed. The fact was
the house was packed with salaried railway chairmen and
directors, and so long as they voted upon these questions
the public would have no confidence in its legislation.
Mr. HUME also protested against taking this bill out
of its crder.
Sir B. HALL complained that this bill favoured the
railway interest at the expense of the public.
Mr. CARDWELL opposed the motion for adjournment,
and remarked that the reason this order did not stand
first on the paper was because the Government had no
control over the arrangement of the orders on Thursdays.
Sir G. GREY hoped that Government would obtain
that control for the future.
Mr. BRIGHT objected to going on with the bill, as no
notice had been given that it would be brought forward
to-night.
Sir J. PAKINGTON, on the other hand, had come
clown in the belief that the railway bill would be taken
I first.
Mr. GEACH rose, and was •

AUSTRIA.

It is said that the Austrian troops will enter
Lesser Wallachia.
. _ . .

Prince Paskiewitsch has granted permission to
neutral vessels, at present in the ports of the dif-
ferent mouths of the Danube, to depart freely up
to the 20th of May.
The Tieinese Gazette states that the deputation
sent from Como to compliment the Emperor of
Austria on his marriage, are to pray his Majesty
to raise the blockade of Ticino, which is highly
detrimental to the province of Como.
•The officers of the Austrian staff at Florence
gave a splendid serenade by torch-light on the
26th ult., in honour of the Emperor of Austria's
marriage. Salvoes of artillery were also fired, and
a Te Delon was sung in the Cathedral.
A proclamation has been issued at Vienna
making amenable before the laws, as guilty of high
treason, all persons holding in their possession
azzini shares, Kossuth notes, and similar revolu-
tionary notes representing money. A free pardon
is granted to all who deliver them up to the autho-
rities before the Ist of June.
The last Imperial manifesto has produced the de-
sired effect upon the Russian party at Vienna. It
is lauded as a further proof of the perfect disinte-
restedness and unctuous piety of the Emperor. The
mask of religious fervour with which political de-
signs are attempted to be veiled, is received by
them as a proof of unvarnished candour and almost
divine inspiration. The challenge thrown down to
all Christians not of the orthodox faith is regarded
as a symbol of conservative philanthrophy ; and in
their mingled dread of Russian supremacy and de-
magogic outbreaks, they confound the special yearn-
ings of aggressive orthodoxy with a pure spirit of
general Christian love and tolerance. The manifesto
already translated into the Sclavonic and Greek
dialects, and ordered to be distributed in all parts
accessible to Russian agents, will doubtless produce
the 'desired effect upon Russian co-religionists.
Upon the people of Germany, always excepting
Russian sympathisers, it will act as a warning, since
it declares as clear as day that all those that are not
of orthodox faith can only be regardeded as with-
out the pale of that Christianity for which Russia
pretends to have drawn its sword.
As to occult English and French hostility, said
to be at length unveiled, who, let it be asked, was
first guilty of disguised or overt hostility ? He
who made preparations for war so far back as the
Ist of January, 1853, by calling forth his reserves,
and preparing his plans on the Pruth and Lower
Danube, and who marched an army into the Turk-
ish territory—or those who declared the latter act
of flagrant aggression not to be a cases belli, and
limited their retaliation during many months to a
most sluggish and pacific naval demonstration ?

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
The Court took the Crown paper this morning►, and
after that heard arguments in cases in the special paper.
On a case being called on,
A gentleman in the body of the court stated that Sir
Fitzroy Kelly, who was engaged in the case, had
arranged to apply to the court to fix a day fur it.
Lord Campbell—Let it stand over till next term.
Applicant—Until after the case of v. —, your
lordship.
Lord Campbell—ls that your pleasure ?
Applicant—lt is Sir Fitzroy Kelly's, my lord. (Great
laughter, in which the learned judges heartily joined.)
Lord Campbell—Be it so, then. (Renewed laughter.)
Mr. Bramwell subsequently came into court, and was
about to state something in reference to the same case,
when
Lord Campbell sail—We have already heard Sir
Fitzroy Kelly s "pleasure," Mr. Bramwell. (Laughter.)
THE QUEEN V. THE TRUSTEES OF THE COMMERCIAL-ROAD.
The question in this case, which was argued last
term,. was whether the inhabitants of the Commercial-
road were rateable to the poor's-rate for the parish of
St. Anne. The question turned on the construction of
sections in acts passed in the reign of George the Third
and George the Fourth.
Lord Campbell now delivered an elaborate ju dgrnent,
holding that the inhabitants were rateable to the peor's
rate of the parish,

DEPARTURE OF THE FRENCH FLEET
FROM THE DOWNS.
All the ships of the French fleet under the command
of Admiral Deschenes, with the exception of three, left
the Downs yesterday for the Baltic.
Those left behind are the liners Jemappes and La
Tage, the ships that came in contact with each other,
and received damage. The Jemappes has proceeded to
Sheerness to have her defects made good. La Tage re-
mains in the Downs.

The third is the Andromaque, frigate. She arrived
in the Downs at 9 a.m. yesterday, and was signalled
from the admiral's ship, L'lnflexible, to anchor. She
saluted the admiral's flag, and the Inflexible acknow-
ledyed the salute. A salute was also fired from \Winer
Castle.

sri A ATE TRADE.

Sir G. B. PECHELL asked Lord J. Russell if any in-
formation has been received that the Government of Spain
has issued certain decrees relative tithe abolition of the slave
trade in the island of Cuba, and to its iesolntion to enforce
the observation of the treaties with this country ; and, if
so, whether the reduction of the number of the cruisers on,
the coast of Cuba (as appears by a recent return from the
Admiralty) has taken' place with reference to those decrees?
Lord J. RUSSELL said it was quite true that such in-
formation had been received, and it was of a very satis-
factory nature. With regard- to the second question, the
reduction which had taken" place was only of a temporary
Character.

Mr. HUME asked if there would be any objection to lay
the decrees on the table ?

Lord 3:RULSELL was understood to say there would
not.

TICKETS OF LEAVE.

Mr. F. SCULLY called the attention of the Under Se-
cretary of State for the Home Department to the case of
George Brown, at Bow-street PoWe-office, on Thursday
last 2 • and asked, if convicts liberated wig licenses under
the Act 1G and 17 Vic., c. 99, are usually-Ordered to be dis-
charged in the place where they committed the crimes for
which they were convicted : if be is aware that the police
are in the habit of informing the employers of such libe-
rated prisoners of their previous character ; whether they
have any authority for doing so ; and if he would lay upon
the table of the house copies of the instructions relating to
the discharge of convicts with leave of license; and the
rules and regulations Of.the Once force-in regard to such
prisoners after their liberation
Mr. FITZROY said the option was given to the prisoners
to choose the place where they wished to go, under certain
limitations, or to be discharged on the spot, being first fur-.
nished with a complete set of clothes awl money to convey
them to their destination. With regard to the second
question, he could state from information that the charge
male against the police was unfounded. No special instruc-
tions watever had been given to the police in respect to
their conduct iu relation to liberated convicts.

TREATMENT OF CONVICTS.

Lord ST. LEGNARDS called-atient-Con to a letter in
the Timm, written by the chaplain of York Castle, stating,
in reference to the case of the Edinburgh prisoner men-
tioned in this house by the noble and learned lord on a
former evening, that he knew that the police were not only
in the habit of dogging liberated convicts, and preventing
them getting employment, but.actually employed their com-
panions in guilt to decoy them into the commission of offences,
in order thatthey (the police) might haves job at the assizes.
The noble lord made some severe comments on such con-
duct on the part of the police, and expressed a hope that
some inquiry into the circumstances would be instituted
by the Government. He moved for certain raturna in re-
gard to convicts.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had no objection
to the returns being made. If the facts stated by the
chaplain of the castle were true, tho conduct of the police
was strongly to be deprecated. He promised the noble
and learned lord that the matter should be investigated.
The returns were then agreed to.

A HINT TO THE CHANCELLOR OF TILE

EXCHEQUER.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

- - -
Slll,—The Chancellor of the Exchequer, acting lately
on his own judgment, has been right in theory but wrong
in practice. He has acted correctly with reference to
the general laws which regulate the value of money, but
has not calculated the d►sturbing causes, which might
have been foreseen by a practical man. These disturb-
ing causes have been a bad harvest and war, each causing
an efflux of gold to pay for corn and for our naval and
military forces in foreign countries. Let him now take
a leaf out of the book of a man who in all thing=, even
in finance, has exceeded the expectations formed of him
—who, if not harmless as a dove, has at least been wise
as a serpent —the Emperor of the French. A Three-
and•a-Half per. Cent. Loan on Exchequer Bonds at par,
with a subscription list in every county in England, open
to sums as low as the late French loan, would be filled
up directly by the class who subscribed ten millions in
France, and who are now in England satisfied with less
than three per cent. in our savings banks.—Your obe-
dient servant, J. E. W.

on land."
My friends and myself afterwards sailed out to the
Tage, the crew of which were exercising their guns at
the time. The precision, celerity, and earnestness with
which the guns were served, showed a high state of
discipline. The sailors were most of them fresh coloured,
good-looking, young fellows.
The ships of the squadron have been very good cus-
tomers to this little dull town, having spent 1,0001. for
fresh meat, and one baker was nearly overwhelmed by
an order for 14,000 loaves.
An attempt was made by some local enthusiasts to
move the mayor, and others, to give the Frenchmen a
ball, or a fete, but in vain ; the magistrates .could not
see the grace of such an act, and contented themselves
with the cheap testimonial of an address of welcome. A
fiddle, a glass of sugared water, and a pretty partner, is
nearly all that a Frenchman wants at a ball, but the
Deal functionaries had not spirit enough to provide even
these delicate attractions.

one ; and as be understood that several influential mem-
bers of the House of Commons took the same view as the
noble lord did, he would be sorry to oppose any obstacle
to a fair trial of the experiment in the present session.
Lord BEAUMONT hoped their lordships would not
agree to the motion. That they should say beforehand
that after the 25th of July they should then and there
stop the whole Parliamentary business of the country,
appeared to him to be almost unconstitutional. Parlia-
ment was supposed to be sitting continually, and if the
House of Commons sent up a bill to their lordships after
the 25th of July, they were bound to take it into con.
sideration, though of course they were at perfect liberty
to postpone it, to pass it, or to reject it, just as they
thought proper. The motion seemed to him to cast a
reflection upon the House of Commons, while its object
appeared to be to enable their lordships to evade their
duties as Peers of Parliament, in order that they might
enjoy the summer months in the country.
Lord REDESDALE said that, so far from his motion
tieing unconstitutional, it only carried out a standing
order of the house passed in 1688. Of course, he in-
tended it as a sessional order only.

FRANCE.

A. letter gives the following details of the Roland,
which, owing to the boisterous weather, was
obliged to put in at Zante
"The crew were for 36 hours in the water. Prince
apoleon sustained better than any one the fatigues of
the sea. He landed incognito, and dined with the
French Consul, M. de Chambrun, and after dinner
visited the port. Notwithstanding his incognito, he
vas saluted with 21 guns. The Roland was to leave
at midnight if the wind calmed down.
"All the Greek isles are said to be in a state of the
greatest excitement and agitation. Volunteers leave the
'gland even before the eyes of the English garrison at
Zante which which only consists of 600 men, and what cannot
r) prevented must be endured. The head-quarters of
418urrection is at Patras. The fortress of Arta holds
0ut,,,-, but the town is in the power of the insurgents.
Two steamers are on the coast of Greece."
The Christophe Colomb steam•frigate met, on
24th ult., off Cape St. Angelo, the steam-corvette
Ile, land, with Prince Napoleon on board. His
J-Inperial Highness was in excellent health.
The Patrie has received accounts from the Dann-
b4ll provinces, stating that the Russian army in
Dobrudscha had suspended its march, in con-
ilequence of orders from Marshal Paskewitsch.
„Large bodies of troops continue to march iu the
