THE ARMY

TILE INDIAN CAVALRY.—We understand it has been
determined to add a sixth captain to every cavalry regi-
ment in India.

Hi.a Grace the Commander-in-Chief was engaged for
some time on Saturday, at the Horse Guards, when it
was understood the arrangements for the departure of
Sir Charles Napier were completed. The Gallant Officer
was closeted with the Noble Duke for some hours.
Major Bunbury, of the 33d Regiment, Colonel Napier, of
the Cape Mounted Riflemen, and Captain Napier, now at
Nice, nephew to Sir Charles, and son to Sir George Na-
pier, are appointed to his staff. It may be recollected
that Sir Charles's only son died of cholera while in
Sinde.

PLYMOUTH, MARCH 16.—The court-martial sitting at
Mount Wise, at Devonport, to investigate the charges
preferred by Colonel Maxwell against Quartermaster
Hare, resumed its inquiry yesterday, when the defen-
dant's legal adviser, Mr. Lavers, read his defence, which
was a very able document. After that, Colonel Maxwell
was partly examined, and the examination resumed to-
day. Major Robertson was also called, but was under
examination for only a short time; after which the Court
rose. it is expected that the defence will last as long as
the prosecution, which commenced on Monday, Febru-
ary 26. On the part of the prosecution 26 witnesses
have been examined.

CHATHAM, MARCH 17.—This morning a detachment
of the 30th Regiment of Foot, consisting of 4 sergeants,
1 corporal, and 14 privates, arrived at the invalid depot
from the service companies at Manchester, to be inva-
lided; and on the 16th inst. 1 sergeant and 21 privates,
with 9 women and 17 children, belonging to the 15th
Regiment, arrived at the invalid depot, Fort Pitt, from
Brecon, in Wales.

PEDESTRIANISM.

SAMUEL DRIVER AND J. DELANY.—These men, both
from the vicinity of Gray's Inn-road, met this morning
on the Seven Sister's-road, Holloway, to decide their
race of 120 yards, for five pounds aside, in the presence
of about 100 spectators. They have ran twice before
the same distance, and each having proved victorious,
this race was decided on to prove which could claim the
superiority. After the usual waste of time in getting
ready the men both showed at the scratch in racing
trim; Driver looking all his friends could wish, Delany
rather too thin, but with a smile of confidence. There
was not much betting on the ground, it being at evens,
Driver for choice. After about a dozen false starts tbey
both got off, Delany with a lead of a yard and a halt;
this distance ho kept till fifty yards had been covered,
Driver here got up the " steam" and caught his man,
when Delany by some means slipped, and rolled on the
ground with great force, leaving his opponent to run in
at his leisure. Upon picking Delany up it was ascer-
tained that he had cut his arm in two places, and bruised
his knee, besides receiving other serious injuries.

PRUSSIA.

In the sitting of the Upper Chamber on the 14th,
Count BRANDENBURG, in answer to a question as to
the line of policy which the Government intended to
pursue in regard to Germany, said, " I think it
necessary, in consequence of what has fallen from the
previous speaker, to declare that the policy of the
Cabinet has been, is, and will henceforth be, based
upon the principles laid down in the Prussian circular
note of the 23d January." In the sitting of the 15th
the address was carried. During the course of the dis-
cussion Count BRANDENBURG said, in allusion to the
affairs of Schleswig-Holstein " I beg to state, in the
issued, Ministry,
at the requisition of the
that at this present time
Central Government, for 12,000 Prussian troops to
ordersname ohfav the
e
take the field. This will be carried into effect so
soon as possible, in order to prevent an inva-
sion of the duchies, which are only guarded
bweheonl e
i
by Schleswig-Holstein troops. The Government
will, at the same time, exert every effort to
conclude an honourable peace, since it is aware
that the Baltic trade must suffer severely from
the breaking out of hostilities." After a few obser-
vations from BAUMSTAC& and HANSEMANN, who for
a governor of a national bank, appears to be pos-
sessed of a most pugnacious spirit, Count ARNIM
begged to observe that "it was most unjust to accuse
the negotiators of having remained idle since the truce
of Malmoe. Far from this, much had been done,
both at Berlin, Frankfort, and London, by the Pleni-
potentiaries, and he had reason for hoping that the
intervention of England would lead to a temporary
arrangement, which would be adopted until the final
conclusion of peace.
In the Second Chamber the Ministry had a ma-
jority of 177 to 159 on the question of the conti-
nuance of the state of siege.

Minister of War, to quit Wiesbaden, so as to reach
Cologne on the 20th, and the mouth of the Elbe on

In the Second Chamber, at Berlin, the address in
reply to the Speech from the Throne, stated, in
relation to the Schelswig question—" We sincerely
rejoice that by the denunciation of the armistice on
the part of the Crown of Denmark peace will not be
broken ; nevertheless if this wish should not be
realised, we are ready to support your Majesty's
Government by all the means in our power, it there
be any question which involves the honour of
Prussia or of Germany."

3d of March by the Hungarians is confirmed ; the
Austrian lost 7,000 men and sixty pieces of cannon.
General OTTENGEE, Colonel JELLACHICH (brother of
the Ban) and the Prince of HOLSTEIN were killed, and
Field-Marshal .GRAMMONT was made prisoner.
The city of Keszkemel, the second in the county
of Pesth, surrendered to the Hungarians after the
action, and the Magyars, were advancing to Buda,
under the walls of which city a decisive action would,
it was supposed, take place. GoRGr had advanced
upon Raab so as to cut off the retreat of the Aus-
trians should they be defeated.

TAXES ON EMIGRANTS TO AMERICA.

In reply to a question,
Mr. HAWES stated that the Supreme Governmen
of the United States had unanimously CMG to a resolu-
tion that the property of emigrants who sailed from this
country to Canada, and who ultimately •crossed the
frontier, to settle in the territory of the States, should
be relieved from all taxation. He was not prepared to
say what regulations Lord Elgin might have made, and
he must refer the Hon. Gentleman to the dispatches
which he shortly expected to receive. Nor could he, of
course, say what charges were likely to be made.
THE CASE OF MR. SHORE.
Mr. F. O'CONNOR wished to ask the Right Hon.
Baronet at the head of the Home Department, whether
it was true that Mr. Shore had been deprived of the use

,of books which had been sent for his reading because
;they were Catholic in their principles ad the governnors
of the prison or the chaplain were Protestanti
Sir G. GREY was not prepared to reply to the ques-
tion, having had no notice of it, but would give an an-
swer on a future day.
MOVEMENTS OF THE ARMY.
_ _

Capt. VYSE wished to ask the Right Hon, the Secre-
tary at War whether the Household Brigade were to be
subjeet to the same rules of change as the infantry regi-
ments of the line in this country, and he asked this in
order to obtain some information which he was anxious
on the motion of which he had giTen notice on going
into Committee on the estimates.

Mr. FOX MAULE said that the Household Brigade
would be regulated according to the rules which had
always been observed in the direction of its movements.
Mr. Anstey, Col. Dunne, Mr. Hume, and several
other Members then postponed the motions of which
they had given notice, in order that the Hoare might go
into Committee on the army, estimates.
The House then resolved itself into a Committee of
Supply, Mr. Bernal in the chair.

trusted that the House would bear with him whilst he en-
tered into details, from which he would have abstained but
for the occurrencies that had taken place, and which ren-
dered them necessary. The number of men it was pro-
posed to maintain in the service of the. Crown during the
ensuing year was 108,254. In considering this subject,
Her Majesty's Government had had to review the con-
dition of this country with respect to its foreign rela-
tions, its Indian and Colonial possessions, and its affairs
at home. Now, looking generally to all those inter-
ests, .and the general scope they were taking

necessary upon the maintenance of ten thousand

The Dix Decembre says—
" It is positively stated that M. de Lagrentle, member
of the National Assembly, is charged with an extraor-
dinary mission to Trieste, where he will be at the same
time as the Emperor of Austria and Prince Schwartzan-
berg. Tltis mission will only be temporary, in order not
to interfere with the position of M. do Lagren6a as
representative."

'The Council of the Loire-Inferieure has passed the
following resolution :

" Sincerely devoted to the authority and to the liberty
of the Holy See, the Council-General of the Loire-
Inferieure had seen with much satisfaction the triumph
of our arms in the Eternal City, being persuaded that
the august Pius IX., who had never used that authority
or that liberty except for the happiness of Ids people and
the glory of Christianity, should continue free to pursue
his work without impediment or condition. Pro'bundly
afflicted at the idea that another course might be pur •
sued, the Council-General, as the faithful interpreter of
the religious sentiments of this department, expresses its
with that the Government may pat an end to all 'must-
neas on this head as quickly as possible."

The origin of the fire is not yet known. There was a
plentiful supply of water from liobson's conduit and
various pumps in tho Market-place and Rose-crescent,
Lut the tire-engines were very badly managed, owing to
the scarcity of firemen; the engines also were con-
stantly getting out of order, the hose being out of repair.
To the police every credit is due for their bravery. The
few gownsmen present showed great alacrity. some
handing buckets, others saving property or directing the
pipes, as occasion might requiee. The fire was not
thoroughly got under until nearly seven o'clock next
morning. A large amount of pr operty was saved, and
safely stowed away in the Tov vn-hall and elsewhere,
though it is supposed that even n ow, 10,000/. or 12,000 L
worth has been destroyed.

ITALY.

M. DE RAYNEVAL returned to Rome on the 6th,
and it was stated that he was more satisfied with the
Pontifical Court than he had previously been. GreB.,
divisions exist among the Cardinal Triumvirs.
The Nazionale of Florence of the 7th states, With
all possible reserve, that it has received letters bi
express from Rome, announcing that the militarycommandant has definitively taken the power of t 1.9
state into his own hands, and deposed the Cardinals.
The Concordia of Turin of the 11th states tht!t
GARIBALDI is treated with great courtesy; that his
friends are allowed to visit him, and that many
officers have done so. He recommended union and
concord to them, that Piedmont might recover and
become the bulwark of Italian liberty and index
pendence. He has expressed a wish to reside
.02!
Turin, where he has numerous friends ; but tt
Government will not allow him to remain in Pre"'
wont, and threatens him with a prosecution in case ,_
intended to stay, on account of the 12,000 livres be
exacted at Arona, after the famous armistice of
Sa-
lasco. A steamer has been prepared to carry Pl'.
to Nice.

FREIGHTS.

In consequence of the abs,nce—of cotton of the new
crop, freights to England have suffered a slight decline,
present quotations being 3/ 15s. to 41 per ton, for both
London and Liverpool. For China, the rate is steady,
at 16 Rs. per candy.

EXCHANGES.
Soon after the departure of the last mail the rates
gave way somewhat, and China bills, at six months'
sight, were sold at Is. 100. per rupee. Subsequently
the bank raised its-rate to Is. 10;d., and in consequence
China bills also went up, and have been sold at Is. 10-ad.
per rupee. These may be considered the respective
rates of the day. A further advance is looked for upon
arrival of the coming China steamer.

HOLLAND.

MARCH 18.--Baron Von Westcappellen, Grand
Master of the Household of his late Majesty, has
gone to Tilburg for the purpose of making the neces-
sary preparations for the funeral of his late Majesty.
The proclamation issued by the Ministers to the
Netherlands nations announcing the death of William
11., and the accession of William 111. has had an
extremely good effect in quieting the minds of the
people, upon whom the unexpected death of their
beloved Monarch fell like a thunderbolt.

All the theatres and places of public amusement
are closed, and the whole city bears the impress of
sorrow. -

Count Von Richetiren and General Klerck, who
went to London to inform the Prince of Orange of
the death of his illustrious father, were to urge his
immediate return.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
• (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)
LANDLORD AND TENANT BILL.
Mr. PUSEY said, since the second reading of this
Bill improvements had been suggested to him, and as he
was anxious to engraft them on the Bill, he would now
simply move its pro forma committal.
Colonel SIBTHORP objected to the Bill being pro-
seeded with at all. Some of the highest authorities as
land agents were opposed to it, as there was no necessity
for any interference between landlord and tenant. There
was nothing to be gained by this Bill. He opposed it
rom no feelings of animosity against the Hon. Member
for Berkshire, and in order that the House might
believe that he was sincere in that declara-
tion, he would only mention that at the last
Smithfield dinner he had the honour of proposing the
Hon. Member's health, which he was glad to say was
drank amidst loud cheers.—(Laughter.) However,he re-
peated he was decidedly opposed to the principle of the
Bill ; and no matter how it might be corrected or re-
vised, he would use his humble efforts to prevent its
passing into a law.
Mr. H. HERBERT said the principle of this Bill was
so peculiarly applicable to Ireland, that he trusted a
clause would be introduced to extend it to that country.
Any law that was good between landlord and tenant in
England, must be equally good in Ireland, and although
he should refrain from moving the amendment of which
he had given notice on this subject, he trusted it would
not be lost sight of.—(Hear, hear.)
Sir G. STRICKLAND was sorry that the Honourable
Member for Oxfordshire had announced himself in favour

of this measure, because he, for one, was quite con-
vinced that while it would confer advantages upon land,
it would prove seriously detrimental to the tenant farmer.
—(Hear.) It would ha►e the effect of involving in doubt
what really were tenant rights, and be productive of end-
less litigation on the subject.—(Hear.) At present those
rights were well understood and observed, and he hoped
the Hon. Member for Oxfordshire would reconsider the
decision he had come to.—(Hear, hear.)
The House then went into Committee.
CoIoneI'SIBTHORP trusted ample time would be
afforded to the country to consider the Bill in its new
form.

Mr . PUSEY said the improvement wonld not alter
the main provisionr of the Bill, and as the amendments
would, be immediately printed, he thought he ought not
to be precluded from recommitting the Bill o❑ this day
week.—(Hear, hear.)
Colonel SIBTHORP hoped that some other day than
that would be fixed upon.
Mr. PUSEY really did not know how to please the
Hon. and Gallant Gentleman. On a former occasion,
because he introduced the Bill on a Friday, he was
charged with having smuggled it in.—(Laughter.)
Colonel SIBTHORP denied that he had made such a
charge.
Mr. PUSEY said if the Hon. and Gallant Member did
not, others did.—(Hear.)
The. clauses were then agreed to, pro forma, after
which the House resumed, and the amendments were
ordered to be printed, and the Bill recommitted on Wed-
nesday next. _

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
_ _ HULL, MARCN 20.

Messrs. Taylor and Bright's circular states—The arrivals
of wheat during the past week from abroad have again been to
a fair extent, and a large proportion of very moderate quality.
The trade has been excessively inactive, and when sales were
effected low prices had to be submitted to. With a fair supply
of farmers' wheat, and a dull report from Mark-lane, this
day's market was very heavy, except for the better descriptions
of English, which fetched last week's prices. Foreign, low
quality full 2s lower than last Tuesday, but we note no altera-
tion in the better runs of red. Very little business passing in
barley, and we do not alter our quotations. Beans are Is lower.
In oats and peas nothing doing. Only a small arrival of linseed,
and the market quite as dear. We note no alteration in lin-
seed cakes. Rape cakes dull, at our quotations.

TURKEY.

Adviccs from Constantinople Ofthe6th March deny
that the Austrian Minister had asked the loan of the
Ottoman fleet. The note of the Austrian Minister
was to demand on what footing the Ottoman Go-
vernment would place itself, in the probable event of
a war in Italy ? The answer of the Porte was
couched in terms which cannot be misunderstood. It
positively persists in maintaining a strict neutrality ;
but, at the same time, in order to protect the Alba-
nian frontier, it will station a portion of its fleet in
the Adriatic for that purpose.
The Porte has not yet come to a decision regarding
Wallachia, inasmuch as the Russian Government has
not yet given in a reply to the late protest. The
Minister for Foreign Affairs is preparing another note
of importance, in which he insists that the conduct
of Russia in the whole affair has not been fully borne
out by existing treaties, and hopes that the EMPEROZ
will in consequence see the propriety of withdrawing
the Russian troops from the Danubian Principalities.
The Russian Ambassador is greatly annoyed at the
firmness displayed by the Porte, which he openly an-
nounces is an encouragement to revolution, which
may not be confined to the Danubian Principalities
alone, but may hereafter extend to the other provinces
of the empire. There may be something very signi-
ficant in this quasi menace, but the feigned anxiety
of :Russia to prevent a revolution in Turkey is as
amusing as is the blockade of the Circassian coast, to
prevent the &introduction of the plague among the
people against whom she has sought to wage a war of
extermination.

On Saturday, the 3d inst., the SULTAN embarked on
board the steam-yacht the Gaif, and proceeded on a
visit of inspection to the different government manu-
factories in the neighbourhood of Ismit ; his High-
ness is accompanied by MumumET Au recnA, the
Grand Admiral, PETTY' ABMET PACHA, and other
Ministers of the Porte. The object of this visit is to
give a greater impulse to industrial art in this country,
and at the same time deliberate in council on the po-
litical exigencies of the moment.
The military preparations of the Porte are on the
increase ; recruits arrive daily by the overland route
from distant provinces. Several light vessels have
been towed into the Black Sea, and altogether the
' preparations of the fleet are advancing very rapidly;
in three weeks or so every available vessel in the ar-
senal will be fit for service.

" A large portion of this important and highly interesting work

sterling wit, lively humour, entertaining gossip, piquant personal

AUSTRIA.

A Vienna letter of the 14th says :—" It is expected
that the state of siege will be raised in a month or six
weeks. Dr. Fischoff, one of the ex-deputies who was
arrested, has been given up to the Criminal Tribunal,
and M. Prato, another ex-deputy, has been set at liberty
on condition of leaving the city forthwith. MM.
Violand, Fuster, and Kudlich, who are in custody,
are accused of high treason. A demonstration was
made yesterday by some members of the ex-Academic
Legion, but it was not of much importance. Ten
persons were arrested, and groups which had as-
sembled dispersed peacefully on the appearance of
patrols.

STATE OF T! AP

the Manchoter oi.
MANCHESTER, MARCH 20.—The aspect of continental
politics having become more threatening since our last
report, and other adverse influences remaining undimin-
ished, all classes of buyers have manifested au increased
indisposition for business to-day ; while, on the other
hand, many spinners and manufacturers have ;shown
a greater anxiety to effect sales. The result has
been a still further contraction of operations, and, alto-
gether, an exceedingly flat market. In the absence of
offers, prices have been put to no sufficient test; and in
the demands of producers there is much irregularity,
arising from differences of position as to contracts, and
in other respects; both yarns and goods are, however,
undoubtedly lower than they were this day week. In
some articles which had previously reached a high level,
the fall is considerable.

ROCHDALE, MAUCH 19.—We have had a fair average
market to-day, at prices much the same as those of the
preceding week. There has been very little doing in
wool, and the manufacturers have purchased very spar-
ingly, but prices continue firm.

IitiDDERIWIELD, MARCH 20.—There has been a very
good and steady trade doing to-day in the hall, and
merchants have been obliged to purchase at an advance
upon last week's prices. In vesting& there is not much
business. Wool goes off steadily, at an advance, and
the stocks are likely to realise the prices given at the last
sales.

HALIFAX, MARCH 17.—The attendance of merchants
in the Piece Hall to-day has not been large, and the
sale of goods far from brisk. The merchants are un-
willing to give present prices, and having stocked them-
selves at the beginning of the rise, are now out of the
market. In the warehouses there is a moderate busi-
ness doing, both in plain and fancy goods, but not,
in general, at prices equal to the increased cost of the
raw material. Yarns have undergone no alteration.
Prices are very firm, and orders are somewhas freely
given, where they can be taken a little below the cur-
rent quotations. There is not much activity in the wool
market, and prices are maintained, tdough there is
scarcely so much firmness as there was.
LEEDS, Mulct( 20.—We had last Saturday a very
fair market, but there has been a sensible falling off
in the demand to-day, and very few goods changed
hands at the cloth halls. The warlike aspectl of things
on the Continent creates an uneasy feeling, and imposes
the necessity of acting with double caution; many an
operation is on these grounds kept in suspense by the
export houses, who generally begin to be busy at this
time of the year. Prices continue steady, and stocks
low in the manufacturers' hands.
London, England, 1849-03-21

HOLLAND.

THE HAGUE, Maucit 20.—Her Majesty the QUEEN
quitted the Hague early this morning for Helvoetsluys,
where she will await the arrival of his Majesty WIL-
LIAM 111. from London. The Ministers of the In-
terior Ind of the Marine also quitted the Hague for
Helvoetsluys, for the same purpose. Everything is
perfectly quiet in the city.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The TVesen Gazette and the Borsenhalle say that
the Minister of Foreign Affairs in Russia proposes
that Schleswig shall be formed into an independent
State, and be only united to Denmark as Norway
is to Sweden ; but that Denmark will not consent
to this.
