RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg, of the 29th, in the
Constt▪ tuttonnel, says :—" Although Count d'Ester-
hazy has been here for the last three days, and has
had a private audience of Count de Nesselrode, the
questi▪
on of peace has made 110 progress since my
last letter. The sittings of the council of war
continue to be held every day, and they are for
the most part presided over by the Emperor.
The exclusive objects under consideration are
still the territorial defence of Russia and the
means to be adopted to repel an invasion. This
fear of invasion shows that Russia is not soin-
vulnerable as might have been at first supposed.
Every one sees that as Sebastopol has been taken,
Cronstadt may share the same fate ; and should
such be the case, St. Petersburg will fall into
the enemy's hands. Count d'Esterhazy will leave
with the staff of the embassy on the 15th, unless
he gets a definitive reply.
Great activity in the arsenals, and great want of
gold and silver money, are the two facts most pro-
minent in advices from St. Petersburg. In a letter
from that capital, dated 26th ult., and published
in the Berlin National Gazette, we read :
Notwithstanding the numerous issues of paper
money, repeated loans, and patriotic gifts of no in-
considerable amount, money—i. e., gold and silver
—has become exceedingly scarce. It is affirmed
that even in the Baltic provinces, where trade is
more active than in other districts, nothing but
paper money is to be seen from Gatchina to Kowno.
The Minister of Finances has repeatedly sought to
remedy this state of things, but all his endeavours
are foiled by the, practice which the Russians have
of hiding their roubles while war lasts. He has,
therefore, bethought himself of the vote of the

DESPATCH FROM GENERAL SIR W.

CODRINGTON.

(Front the Gazette of this Evening. )
WAR DEPARTMENT, JAN. 8.
Lord Panniure has this day received a despatch, of
which the following is a copy, addressed to his Lordship
by General Sir William Cost 01, drinpo gton, K.C.B.
Seba December 25, 1855.
My Lord,--C. otwithstanding the recent severe wea-
ther, the thermometer a few nights ago having fallen
nearly to z3ro, the general state of health of the army
ba.s continued good. The roads are in fair working or-
der.; and though the efficiency of the locomotive en•
gi„es was impaired by the frost, the damage has been
made good.
The final operations on the Docks have been some-
what delayed on our side, by the influx of water, and
by the frsiz.iog of pumps:
The fire from the forts on the northern side of the
harbour continues, and it is at times heavy ; but the
ca,nalties, I am happy to say, are few. •
There has been no movement of importance on the
part of the enemy in our neighbourhood of late. A detach-
meet of French troops surprised a Cossack post near
Tenion, a few days ago, killing several men, and taking
the rest prisoners.
rile general drill of the Army makes good progress.
I have, &L!.,

KINBOURN.

" A letter from Kinbourn, dated the 17th ult.,"
says the Moniteur du Loiret, "has been commu-
nicated to us ; it contains some interesting details
as to the situation of our vessels. On the 12th a
sudden thaw of the ice took place in the Liman of
the Dnieper, and our flotilla anchored there found
itself in a very critical position. The vessels which
were furthest out at sea were exposed to the shock
of enormous masses of ice, so that their chains
broke and they drifted. The floating-battery Lave
was one of them, and at one moment it was feared
that she would run aground and fall into the hands
of the Russians. She was, however, fortunately
able by skilful manceuvres to avoid the danger,
and to get into the deep water of the Black Sea,
from which she returned to the coast of Kinbourn.
For some hours great anxiety was felt, and it
was afterwards generally seen that the position
could not be held with prudence, as the sudden
breaking up of the ice frequently occurs during the
winter. It was accordingly thought that the flotilla
detached to Kinbourn would be recalled to Ka-
miesh, and that to make up for its withdrawal the
effective force of the garrison of the fortress would
be increased."

A BRITISH SOLDIER FLOGGED TO

DEATH.

The correspondent of the Morning _Herald in his
letter from the Crimea, dated Dec. 24, says :
" A private of the English artillery has this week
died under the lash at Balaklava ! I believe his offence
was drunkenness. Be it so. Ari there no roads to be
made or mended ? Are there no stones to be broken ?
Arc there no round shot to be polished ? Is it not
better to stop grog than to stop life ? Let your readers
ydedseoretsionno,tflohgagrainsgs
us,
answer. My opinion is that though in many cases, such
athsamt is admissible, it (now
now that men can
well be spared for sentries over prisoners), is not the
best punishment for drunkenness. I shall not argue
ne ye
nnerm
this question out now. I shall simply say that this pri-
vate was made fast to the usual limber-wheel, that his
state was apparently not one of health, that he was
sentenced to receive, and did receive in full, 50 lashes,
at the hands of the serjeant farrier of the left siege train
at Balaklava Heights, and that on being, cast loose he
fell to the ground like a log, there remained a short
time, was carried to the hospital, and there died ! lam
told that this private belonged to the Bth company of
the 7th battalion (Royal Artillery), but I have failed as
yet to learn his name. He died on Sunday morn-
ing (yesterday), having been flogged on Saturday,
after the departure of the last mail from Balaklava.
And I think that the War Office authorities ought to
investigate the case. Mon are men, and must not he
treated as beasts, for which latter we have, at least, a
Martin's Act.'"

DARING BURGLARY ON MR. CUBITT'S PREMISES,
ISLE or DOGS.—James Mosley, a young man, with his
arm in a elirg, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged
with breaking into the premises of Mr. William Cubitt,
and stealing some drawing instruments, money, and a
box of paints therefrom.
Thomas Hurries said he was watchman in the em-
ploy of Mr. Cubitt, in the Isle of Dogs. He went round
the premises at half-past 9 o'clock last night, and all
was then perfectly safe. He went round the premises
half-an-hour afterwards and discovered the prisoner con-
cealed in an outer office. He immediately darted on the
prisoner, seized him, and said to him, " What do you do
here? The prisoner said "Mind my arm," which was
bleeding, and went to the other side of the prisoner and
asked him if he had any confederates with him. The
prisoner replied that he had, that there was a
tnau in an inner office, and that he would wait
while the witness went after him and secured him.
He refused to part with the prisoner, but went round
the buildings with him and could find no other person.
He then conveyed the prisoner to the station-house, and,
on examining the premises discovered that the burglar
had obtained admission to the outer office, by bmaking
pane of glass, and unfastening a bolt or catch which
secured the lower sash of the window to the upper one.
The inner door of the office hal been broken open with
a pair of fire-tongs, and an entrance obtained to a pas-
sage leading to an inner office, the door of which was
not fastened. A drawer had been forced open, and
several compasses, rules, and other drawing instruments,
a box of paints, and 2s. 7td. in money stolen. He found
the drawing instruments on the read along which he con-
veyed the prisoner to the station-house. The box of
paints was also recovered. They had been dropped
just outside the building as he was leading the prisoner
away. He asked the prisoner how he injured his arm,
to which he replied that he had chopped it with his
father's adze in the morning. There was a large hand-
kerchief round the prisoner's arm. The handkerchief
was saturated with blood, which was quite warm ; and
a surgeon, who was called upon to attend the prisoner,
said the wound was recently inflicted. He looked at
the window which had been broken, and found stains of
blood about and near the window.

Mr. Yardley ordered the depositions to be taken, and
committed the prisoner for trial for the burglary.

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin of the 3d, in the Universal
German Gazette, says :—" It is expected in diplo-
matic circles that the reply of Russia to the last
propositions for peace will arrive on the 17th. The
cession of a part of Bessarabia is the point which
the partisans of Russia attack with the greatest
violence. They assert that Austria has gone much
too far in starting that condition, and that it will
give rise to great difficulties for Germany. There
is nothing to show that this is the opinion of the
Cabinet of Berlin, although it is pretended in
Russian circles that Col. de Manteuffel is charged
to exercise a certain action on the Cabinet of Aus-
tria, and to assure it that the concurrence of
Prussia and of Germany will not be given, except
on conditions to be positively fixed beforehand."

LONDON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1856.

Russia is still procrastinating—still evading a
distinct and positive answer to a very decisive
and unequivocal interrogatory. The most san-
guine advocates for peace at any price do not
affect to believe that she will accept the terms
tendered for her acceptance through Count ESTER-
HAZY. Severely as she has already suffered from
the consequences of her own unwarrantable ag-
gressions, she is not as yet prepared to abandon
the traditional policy which the present Ova?, on
his accession to the throne pledged himself to
maintain, or to give material guarantees for the
observance of any conditions that might be agreed
on. A variety of significant and perfectly intel-
ligible circumstances indicate the perverse obsti-
nacy with which she clings to her previous deter-
mination. The audacious insolence with which,
by way of anticipating the proposals which Austria
was about forwarding, and the nature of which
were perfectly known at St. Petersburg, she sent
as a satisfactory solution a rechauffee of the sug-
gestions put forward by Prince GORTSCHAKOFF at
the late Vienna Conferences, and which were then
indignantly rejected not only by the Western
Powers, but by Austria, proves this beyond the
possibility of doubt. The appointment of Prince
MENSCIIIKOFF, the avowed instigator of the War,
to the Governorship of Cronstadt, and the act of
wanton aggression so recently committed by the
Persian vassal of the ..A.UTOCRAT in the treacherous
capture of Herat, and the suspension of diplomatic
intercourse between the Courts of St. James's and
of Teheran, "add confirmation strong as proofs
of Holy Writ" to the already conclusive evidences
as to the disposition of the War Party in Russia,
who have achieved such decided predominance in
the Muscovite Government that they must carry
any point on which they have made up their
minds.

But, unfortunately, it is equally clear that she
will strive to get up a negotiation which may
afford time to develops her insidious in-
trigues with soi-disant neutrals. Her diplo-
matists have already shown that they
are utterly unscrupulous with respect to
the means that may be resorted to secure the ob-
ject in view. - Where, then, remains " the
slightest peg whereon to hang a doubt ?" They
will profess acceptance, although resolved to vio-
late in the most flagrant manner the spirit of
their undertaking, and to' turn the delays thus
obtained to their own advantage. The great
danger to be avoided is a ,fresh negotiation, on
any pretext, or under any circumstances what-
ever. We want to know whether we are to have
Peace or War ! ' We are litnimque paratus, pre-
pared for either alternative, but we cannot suffer
ourselves to be agiin entrapped into a course that

CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.

THE most appropriate Offerings for this Season
of Festivity are those which tend to the promotion of Health
and Personal Attraction. None can be more acceptable than
ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL,
' ' • '' '

.• _
for imparting a transcendent lustre to the Hair, and sustaining it in
decorative charm.

ROWLANDS' RALYDOR
imparts a radiant bloom to the cheek, and a delicacy and softness to
the hands, arms, and neck ; and
ROWLANDS' ODONTO,
or Pearl Dentifrice, bestows on the Teeth a pearl-like whiteness, and
renders the Breath sweet and pure.
The patronage of Royalty throughout Europe, their general use by
rank and fashion, and the universally-known efficacy of these
articles, give them a celebrity unparalleled.

SERIOUS AFFAIR AT MADAGASCAR.

Files of the Cerneen, a French journal of the
island of Mauritius, to the 25th December have
reached us. We read in them that on the 3d
December, the day fixed for the signing of the
petition to the Government, praying for the re-
establishment of the French language in official
and judicial documents, a crowd of colonists in-
vaded the Hall of Commerce with enthusiasm to
sign their names. We also find au account of the
following deplorable affair at Madagascar :
" Eight Frenchmen, one of them, M. d'Arvov, for.
merly French consul in the Mauritius, who had been re-
siding almost a year in the Bay of Vavatonbe, working a
coal mine belonging to a company, and a great number
of Sacalares in their service, were attacked in the night
of the 19th October by from 1,500 to 2,000 novas,
the reAmiar troops of the Queen of Madagascar, and,
with the exception of one Etinchman, were barbarously
murdered and mutilated. The establishment which
they occupied was sacked, and 100 workmen, who had
escaped the massacre, were to;.,rether with the Frenchman
made prisoner,, and carried off to Emyrne. Five ideces
of cannon, a quantity of muskets, and some gunpowder
were captured by the assailants. The material damage
done amounted to between 70,000 and 80,000 piastres
(350,000 f. to 400,000 f.) The Queen of Madagascar,
Ranavalo, on receiving the news of the massacre and cap-
ture, assembled the people of her capital, and had read
to thorn the despatch of the general who commanded the
II expedition, after which she caused seven guns to be fired
in honour of wont she called the victory gained by her
invincible troops over the French."
The Bay of Vavatoube and all the north-west part
of Madagascar is, according to the Colleen,
French territory—it belongs to France not only
in virtue of her ancient claims on Madagascar, but
in virtue of a recent concession of the ex-King
of Nossi Be, who held it do facto. Moreover,
a fort which formed part of the establishment
destroyed was built with the sanction of -the
French Government and under a promise of its
protection, and two of the live guns captured
were supplied by the French frigate Erigone. The
Canteen, accordingly declares that, apart from the
barbarous outrage on Frenchmen, the French flag
had been grossly insulted, and it intimates that no
doubt, the Imperial Government will take due
vengeance. The same journal states that M. La-
coste, Belgian Consul in the isle of Mauritius, has
opened a subscription for purchasing Napoleon
Vale, in the island of St. Helena, where is situated
the tomb of Napoleon, and that he has given him-
self 1,000 piastres. Napoleon Vale is the property
of a Mr. Pritchard, and is advertised for sale in the
St. Helena newspapers.

FASTING IN THE AUSTRIAN ARMY.

Voss's Gazette publishes a remarkable document
—a general order by the Commander-in-Chief of
the Austrian army, giving directions for the obser-
vance of the fasts of the church by the tr@ops of_
the empire. This innovation is another result of
the Concordat. The Commander-in-Chief says that
the rules aroiSrornulgated at the instance of the
Victor Apostolic. The first regulation forbids the
generals, superior officers, and members of the gene-
r•al staff to eat meat on Fridays, and the last three
days of the Holy Week. The second extends the
same prohibition to the men from the serjeant-
major downwards ; the third bids officers and men
observe the ordinances of the church as to their
diet on saints' days ; the fourth enjoins attendance
on the Easter confession. In the fifth it is inti-
mated that the venerable bishop expects the grati-
tude of the faithful for the indulgence he has shown
in these Lenten regulations, and hopes it will be
rewarded by their frequent attendance at divine
service and confession. Voss says that this order
has produced the greatest sensation in the army,
which has never before received orders respecting
the observance of Lent iu this form. It is said to
be the intention of the Austrian Government to
introduce the use of certificate of confession into
the army, and each officer will have to show that
he has confessed at least once in six weeks.

UNITY BANE.—Tha subscribers .to the Unity Bank
have cgrupisted the, requisite payment of 50 per cent. o
its capita! of 300,000/., and it is stated that immediately
on th, receipt ,f the charter from • the Board of Trade,

bank wit! commence operations.
