SPAIN.

MADRID, April 17.—The Gazette publishes the
budgets of 1856 and of the first six months of 1857.
The expenses are estimated at 2,198,517,280 reals,
and the receipts at 2,202,591,988. The operation
of drawing for the conscription has been effected
without disorder at Valencia. The military inves-
tigation against the insurgents is going on actively.
His Royal Highness, the father of the King of
Portugal, is expected shortly at Seville, incognito.
The operations of the companies of credit are para-
lysed by the interdiction to quote their shares at
the Paris Bourse.

The announcement made at different bourses of
a proposed new loan by Russia of 100,000,000 rou-
bles is officially contradicted.
The Emperor of Austria is expected in Berlin
for the anniversary of the accession of the Duke of
Brunswick to the throne.
The latest accounts from Parma announce no
change in the state of affairs in that Duchy.
It does not appear that the occupation of Pon-
tremolli by the Austrians has actually taken place.
. .

A letter from Munich states that the King of
Greece will visit Germany during the summer and
remain for some time at the court of his brother.

Lieut.-Gen. Alfonso de Lamarmora has been pro-
moted to the rank of general of the Sardinian
army. The fact was announced on the 15th in the
Chamber of Deputies at Turin, and received with
great satisfaction.
We read in the Paris correspondence of Le Nord
—"Divisions, antipathies, rancour, and opposing
interests have been manifested in
.the Conferences,
and leave too much reason to expect new contests
more or less distant, upon another theatre, and
with other alliances. The opinion is confirmed by
the language which some of the plenipotentiaries
use. Dining a few days with a high personage of
the court, Count Cavour did not conceal his com-
plaints against the Conference for refusing to in-
terfere in the affairs of Italy against Austria, which
power has in its favour the majority of the pleni-
potentiaries; he ended with saying, "There will
be revolutions in Italy before the year is out."

THE NATIONAL GALLERY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
is refreshing, after the inanities of a Parlia-
mentary debate, to react the vigorous attack, by Mr.
Morris Moore, on the jobbing and mismanagement at
the National Gallery. In the absence of ai:y 44terapt
to refute the very serious charges brought apirist the
director of that institution, it must be impossible for
even Lora Pairnerst(in to set public opinioq. at defiance,
and uphold Sir Charles Z:stlake in his pr.:client position.
Our "used-up" House of Commons nrAy tamely submit
to the jibes and jeers of the lively patriarch of Downing-
street, but the nation will never &flow itself to .be thus
ruade ridictiletts in the eyes of P,very matt of cultivated
taste, or of even ordinary intelulgence.
If the " press" do but its duty, Administrative Re-
form--" The right mall in 'die right place"—is inevitable
at the National Gallery.,—.1 am, sir, your obedient ser-
vant,

THE GRAND NAVAL REVIEW.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

•
COWES, APRIL 16.
Tlie whole of the men-of-war were under weigh again
tc,-day, and will be daily until the grand display of
Wednesday next. A great deal of company is expected
at the Royal Yacht Squadron-house, and a great many
houses and-lodgings have been taken. The line of ships
is expected to reach from the Nab Light, by Osborne
and Cowes, to Egypt Point. All the steam-vessels be-
longing to Cowes, Ryde, Southampton, Portsmouth,
and neighbouring ports are' advertised to take company
thrcugh the fleet. Such a fleet was never before seen,
and it is' to be hoped will never have cause to assemble
again in our time, and it is therefore not to be wondered
at that it creates such an excitement.
London, England, 1856-04-19

RUSSIA.

The Emperor of Russia ratified the treaty of
peace before leaving for Moscow. On his retuni
the Czar will visit the provinces of the Baltic.
A letter from Warsaw of the 11th says :—" The
Emperor has arrived at Moscow. The visit of the
Czar to Moscow is in conformity with the esta-
blished custom. Every time that any great poli-
tical act has been consummated, the sovereign goes
to the old capital of Russia. The Emperor is said
to be very well satisfied with his visit to Finland;
at lieisingfors he returned most warmly the saluta-
tions of the people who thronged round his carriage,
and several times spoke to them in the Swedish lan-
guage. On his return to St. Petersburg, his Ma-
jesty told M. de Tourkoull, the Minister for Po-
land, that he intended to visit that country very
shortly, and hoped to be as well satisfied with his
journey there as he was with that which he had
just made into Finland. Orders have been given
to suspend the recruitment for the army, and the
recruits who had alreauy been collected have been
sent back to their homes.

Letters from St. Petersburg announce that the
precise frontiers between Russia and Sweden will
be shortly fixed.

AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna of the 13th says :—" In
the audience given yesterday by the Emperor
to the prelates to deliver their address, the Empe-
ror replied in Latin as follows In coming to an
understanding with the Holy See, in order to ful-
fil the duties of a Christian and of a prince. I glory
pzuviug by Luy aces, my faith and my hope in
Him by whom kings reign, and I fully com-
prehend how much the bonds of civil society are
consolidated by the sentiment of religion. What
I have promised I will •execute with the fidelity
becoming a man and an Emperor. Such a
great work, however, cannot be completed except
by the union of forces. It belongs to you, vener-
able prelates, to joia your efforts to mine and
amongst yourselves, in order that the faith and all
that is just and honest may flourish among us, and
bear the abundant fruits of salvation and peace.
Have confidence in me, as I have in you. God
will be with us.' "

"We learn from a good source," says the Post
Ampt Gazette, " that Baron de Keller will repre-
sent Austria at the conference which is to take
place at Bucharest for the organiiation of the Prin-
cipalities."
A letter from Vienna, in the Independance
Beige, says :—" The waters of the Danube
have not been so low for the last twenty years ;
they have reached such a point that some spots
of the channel which separates the town from
the suburbs of Leopoldstadt can be passed on
foot. It results that the commerce of Upper
Austria, which is conducted by water, is entirely
suspended, the smallest boats not being able to
Undertake the passage. It is to be desired that,
in order to protect the commerce of the East and
West from similar interruptions, we may be speedily
connected by a railway with Linz and Papau on
the one side, and Belgrade on the other."

with reference to the mortality amongst the horses,
and as to his manner of striking'the averages. He said
that if he had taken the averages of the deaths at five
months, instead of six or seven, the mortality might
have appeared to exceed the actual number of animals in
the Crimea. The averages published by the commis-
sioners were correct according to the returns furnished
them.

Lord Lucan—Were you ever deterred from or dis•
couraged in any way by any. act of mine in giving shelter
to the horses of your brigade, but, on the contrary, did I
noeurge you and every other .officer to provide shelter
for the horses as far as possible ?
General Scarlett—Yes, you never discouraged me or
any other officer, bat, on the contrary, was anxious that
every shelter possible should be provided for the horses.
In answer to another question from Lord Liman, Gen.
Scarlett said—l don't think more promptitude or inge-
nuity could have been displayed by your lordship and
the other officers in command of the cavalry in the
position we were then placed.. If so I should have
thought it my duty to, have stated that fact to your
lordship at the moment.
Cel. Douglas was then recalled by Lord Lucan, and, in
reply to the same questions, gave similar answers to
those of General Scarlett.

Col. Tulloch then put a question to Cot Douglas on
his evidence given beforathe commissioners, wherein h
stated; he made no suggestion to Lord Lucan that he
could have put up temporary shelter with sail-cloth in a
few days, to which he replied that he did not consider it
necessary to make any suggestion to Lord Lucan to that
effect, having no materials. It was certainly his duty
as an officer to make suggestions to his superior.
C Tulloch—Did not the omission of such a sugges-
tion show want of ingenuity on your part ?
Col. Douglas—No, I don't think it did. (Laughter.)
I had not the command of the cavalry. It was the duty
of the Ge4erals of ThTleiono the Quartermaster General
or even Lord ItlaglWWlstilf,74#&-esdeer
was certanly not the-d.4ors.n officer in
regiment.
By the Judge-A.dvocate-General—He attributed the
great toss of horses to want of food, shelter, and the
nature of the work, that were not killed in action.

The witness retired.
Gen. Scarlett was recalled, and in answer to a question
from the Judge-Advocate-General, said he attributed the
loss of these horses to want of supplies in the Crimea,
and the effect of the weather on them previous to that.
Lord Lucan said that in consequence of the death of
Admirce,Sir D. Dundas's son, that gallant officer could not
attend, wid he wished to put in the gallant admiral's an-
swer to certain queries he (Lord Lucan) had addressed
to him. He could do without it, as he intended to call
Sir E. Lyons to-morrow.
The Judge-Advocate-General said the Court would not
receive that evidence to-day.
Shortly after 2 o'clock the Court rose, and adjourned
till Monday.

THE FRENCH INUNDATION RELIEF

FUND.

h The French Minister of Finance has issued a
circular, in which he states that, although subscrip-
tions to the Inundation Relief Fund may be paid
in through the receivers of the revenue, it is not
the intention of Government that this channel for
transmitting them should be adopted to the exclu-
sion of others which the subscribers might prefer ;
on the contrary, it will be desirable to spare the
officers of the revenue department that respon-
sibility as much as possible. The formation of
lists of the contributors' names will not imply
that all who contribute must consent to
make their names known ; they may, if
they please, be entered as " anonymous," and the
different societies or companies, which send in
subscriptions collected by them, will at their own
discretion either give the names of the subscribers
individually, or set down the total in a lump. The
subscription lists will ultimately be published in
the Monitettr, on the authority of the Minister of
Finance and the Minister of State. The circular,
which is addressed to the receivers of revenue,
concludes by expressing the minister's confident
reliance upon their willing aid in promoting, by
all the means in their power, those benevolent ef-
forts which cannot fail to be occasioned by circum-
stances so grave as the present, and by calamities
so worthy of universal compassion.
CONTRIBUTIONS FROM TURKEY.—We find in yes- I
terday's Moniteur this paragraph Imperial
Majesty the Sultan has caused to be remitted to the
Minister of the French empire for Foreign Affairs,
through his Excellency the Turkish ambassador,
the sum of 40,000 francs for the population of those
districts in France which have suffered from the
inundations. The Turkish ambassador and the
Sultan's subjects residing at Paris have added to it
the sum of 3,502 francs.
London, England, 1856-06-13

COLONIAL.

TEA.- The market has been quiet, but a fair business
has been done in the consuming qualities for borne con-
sumption at about previous prices; common congou rea-
lised 9d per lb.
SUGAR.—Thero has been a plentiful supply to tho mar-
ket of both colonial and foreign descriptions, and, coupled
with a brisk demand for home consumption and for expor-
tion, prices have ruled extremely firm. British West India
has advanced about Gd to 1,4 per cwt on late prices. Marini-
tins, good to fine yellow, 44s 6(1 to 468 ; low to middling,
43e to 445; brown, 40s to 42s 6d. The refined market has
been firm ; lumps realised 55s per cwt.
COFFEE. —This article has been dull of sale, and native
Ceylon has been at almost nominal rates, viz., 508 to 53s
per cwt. Plantation, however, has been in better demand,
and firm rates were maintained for fine qualities ; good
and fine, 64s to 70s ; low mid to mid, 60s to 63s ; inferior,
58s to 59s Gd per cwt.
COCOA.—There has boon a falling off in the demand for
this article, and previous rates have given way to a slight
extent. Trinidad, 56s to 595; Grenada ordinary grey to
poi bright rod 42s Gd to 50s per cwt.
RICE.—The market has ruled very firm, and the high
rates demanded have in a great measure restricted sales.
Bengal mid broken Os 6d to 10s per cwt.
Russ.—The market has been steady, with a very limited
business doing. Brown leewards brought 2s 2d, and mid-
dling Jamaica 3s 8d per proof gallon.
SPlCES.—Pepper has been in better request. Black
Malabar brought 4id, and white 'lid to nci. Ginger has
also been in fair demand, at full rates. Cochin realised
46s to 48s, and dark rough Malabar 25s per cwt.
COCIIINEAL.—The market has been rather firmer, and
the unfavourable adviees received respecting the forth-
coming crop has rather improved prices. Honduras low
to good silvery, 3s 7d to 4s ; fine black, 68. Mexican
black, 4s to 4s ld. Teneriffo black, 4s ld ; silver, 3s Bd.
TALLOW has been rather firmer. Australian—beef, 45s ;
mutton, 46s 6:1. South American, 46s 3d per cwt. P.Y.C.
on the spot, 45s 9d ; last three months, 46s per cwt. The
season's supply from Russia is estimated at 150,000 casks.
GREEN FRUlT.—Oranges sustain the advance in price.
Lemons in better demand ; a parcel sold by Keeling and
Hunt, at public sale, went at an improved price. Nuts
of all kinds dull. West India pine apples daily expegWd.

MARINE OFFICERS.

In reply to a question from Colonel Buck,
Sir C. WOOD complained of questions of this descrip-
tion being put, as with littla trouble the facts might he
ascertained. He thought that the marine officers in the
late war h9,d done their duty. He did not think they
ought to be excluded from promotion ; and they had not
been excluded. The number of marine officers that had
received brevet promotions in the Baltic fleet was S ; in
the Black Sea fleet, 10.
rHE ITALIAN LEGION.

Captain O'CONNELL asked the Under-Secretary for
War if it was true that the Itslian Legion was doing gar-
rison duty at Malta ; and what was to be their ultimate
destination or disposition
Mr. F. PEEL said he had received private informa-
tion that the Legion had done duty at Malta, such as
mounting guard. It would be disbanded in a similar
manner as the other regiments, and the men would have
the option of either returning to Italy or going to one
of the colonies.
London, England, 1856-06-13

a recommendation that duties be substituted for
prohibition on several important products. Among
the changes proposed, and which, there is good
reason to believe, will be carried into effect, con-
sidering how affairs are now managed in France,
are the admission of refined sugar (hitherto pro-
hibited) from the Ist of January, on payment of
duties, giving an advantage to importers in
French ships; also of iron chemical products, dyeing
woods, soap, chicory, clay and pottery, glass,
cotton and woo], raw or manufactured, silks,
furs, cutlery, and hardware, at a reduced tariff.
So far good. It would certainly have been more
gratifying to us to have had to record a greater
advance on the part of our neighbours in the
development of so sound and beneficial a system
as that of Free Trade ; but the process once com-
menced in earnest, there can be no doubt as to
the ultimate result. That that will be eminently
to the advantage of both countries is as certain
as it will be the death-knell of Protection and
the establishment of Free Trade.

ARRIVAL OF THIC KING OP OUDE
IN ENGLAND.

His late Majesty the King of Oude landed at
Folkestone yesterday evening, accompanied by
his suite and E. L. Coffey, Esq. The King had
arranged to sleep at the Pavilion Hotel, but hav-
ing had a most beautiful passage from Boulogne,
his Majesty left for London by the express train
of the South-Eastern Railway.

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin, in the Debats, states :
"Much discontent is felt here at seeing Russia
respond so slightly to the hopes which she had
given birth to during the war. In order to facili-
tate the land transit during the blockade she had
suppressed several obstacles prejudicial to Prussian
commerce, and had gained the sympathies of Prus-
sia by leading to the supposition that other conces-
sions would follow at the conclusion of peace.
Now that the war is terminated, the Russian Go-
vernment has entirely re-established the former
status quo ; and the Russian embassy announces
in the journals that people intending to travel in
Poland and Russia must be supplied with certifi-
cates of their political morality. With the excep-
tion of this the relations between our court and
that of Russia were never more friendly and inti-
mate. The two Governments Are more than ever
convinced that whatever circumstances may iu
future arise in Europe, they will only find a cer-
tain salvation in the strong alliance of Prussia
and Russia."

SAVINGS BANKS (IRELAND).
Captain D. O'CONNELL asked the Chancellor of the

next session, for the better regulation of saviegs banks ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
subject had been well considered, and he agreed that
legislation on the subject was much wanted ; but it was
not the intention of the Government to bring in any
measure during the present session.
THE RIOTS AT MALTA.
Captain O'CONNELL asked if the correspondence
that had taken place between the Government at home
and the authorities at Malta relative to the riots there,

Mr. LABOUCHERE said he did not think it would
be desirable to produce the correspondence at the present
moment.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMEN T.

HOUSE OF LORDS—{This Evening.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
lit 5 o'clock.

THE IRISH MILITIA.

The Earl of DONOUGHMORE rose to put a ques-
tion to the noble lord at the head of the War Depart-
ment, with respeßt to the Irish Militia. If the disem•
bodiment of the Irish militia was to take place at the
period at which it was intended, the effect would be
that great distress would arise, and large bodies of
the men would, no doubt, emigrate. The question he
wished to ask the noble lord was, whether it was in
tended to disembody the Irish militia before the harvest ?
Lord PANMURE said it was intended to treat the
Irish militia precisely in the same manner as the Eng-
lish and Scotch. The men of the regiments that had
been disembodied had expressed themselves satisfied
with the whole of the arrangements. With respect to
the Irish militia, he did not anticipate any of those
evils which the noble lord had alluded to would arise.
OUR RELATIONS WITH AMERICA.

The Ear) of DERBY rose to put a question to the
aob!e earl the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
It had been stated that within the last few days very im•
portant intelligence bad been received from the United
States. He wished to know whether our Minister
in America had received his passports ; and also
whether the excquatur of three of our Consuls had been
withdrawn. It such information had been received,
he wished to know when the communication would be
laid on the table ; and also the course the Government
intended to adopt ?

The Earl of CLARENDON said the day before
yesterday Mr. Dallas communicated to him a despatch
which he had received from his Government, which
contains a statement to the effect that the
explanation of this country on the Enlistment question
not to infringe in any manner the law o the United
States was perfectly satisfactory. With regard to Mr.
Otarnpton the despatch was not so ratisfactory ; it
stated that the President considered that gentleman an
unacceptable mini ter, and had accordingly sent
him his passport=, and had withdrawn the exequaturs
of three British Consuls. The Government had not
finally determined on the course they would ultimately
pursue, but when they bad done so, their lordships
would be put in possession of the information. Mr.
Dallas had also showed him another despatch respecting
Central America, which stated that the services of a
third power as arbitrator might possibly lead to a set-
tlement of the question.
London, England, 1856-06-13

"THE EXECUTION.

"The mayor and magistrates of the borough of Staf-
ford hereby give notice that on Saturday morning next,
for the purpose of preserving peace and order, and guard-
ing as far as possible against accidents, the police have
received instructions to prevent all young persons under
the age of 14 from mixing in the crowd, and they also
suggest the propriety of all females abstaining from any
attempt to approach the county prison, as the risk of '
personal injury from the pressure of a multitude of peo-
ple will be very great. The mayor and magistrates like-
wise request that any persons who may intend to erect
on their premises any platform or other standing places
for spectators will give notice to the mayor not later
than 10 o'clock a.m. on Friday next, in order that he
may instruct the town surveyor to inspect the same,
with a view to guarantee its stability, and the town sur-
veyor will thereupon sign a notification which may be
affixed to the erection. The mayor and magistrates fur-
thermore advise the inhabitants not to leave their houses
in an unprotected state, such occasions being sometimes
embraced by professional thieves to commit felonies.
Signed, by order of the mayor and magistrates,
" CHARLES FLINT, Magistrates' Clerk."

THURTELL AND PALMER.—With the difference that
the circumstances of Thurtell's guilt are not comparable
in atrocity with those of the poisoner's, there are points
of strong resemblance between the two men. Each was
born in a fair station, and educated in conformity with
it ; each murdered a man with whom he had been on
terms of intimate association, and for whom he pro-
fessed a friendship at the time of the murder ; both were
members of that vermin race of outer betters and black-
legs, of whom some worthy samples were presented on
both trials, and of whom, as a community, mankind
would be blessedly rid, if they could all be, once and for
ever, knocked on the head at a blow, Thurtell's de-
