FOREIGN ENLISTMENT.

Mr. H. BAILLIE gave notice that on an early day
after the roce3s he should submit a motion relative to
the enlistment question.
PENSION TO GENERAL WILLIAMS,

Lord PALMERSTON brot4;ht up a message from
her Majesty, stating that her 'Majesty, being desirous of
conferring some signal mark of her favour and approba-
tion of the gallant conduct of General Williams, as com-
missioner at the heal of the Turkish army in Asia, arid
particulary fir his gallant defence of Kars, recommended
the house to take eteps to enable her Majesty to mark
his gallant and distinguished conduct by a pension
of 1,0001. a year for the term of his natural life. (Loud
cheers.) His lordship then moved that the message be
taken into consideration to-morrow, and added that her
Majesty had been pleased to confer the title
of a baronet on General Wildarni—(cheers)—viz., Sir
William Williama, Bart.", of Kara. (Renewed cheers.)

army in time of peace for a period of 40 years; and when \
the time of trial came, it was found that this great mili-
tary force was unable to compete with the resources of
this country. Itupsia was convinced of her mistake now,
and she was desirous to give free scope to the energy of
her people in the accumulation during peace of that
wealth which might be employed during war. He (Earl
Grey) protested, therefore, against the idea of keeping up
a large military establishment, and he trusted this coun-
try would never think of maintaining a force prepared
to take the field in a European war.
The motion was then agreed to.
The vote of thanks to the militia was then put by the
LORD CHANCELLOR.

Lurd PANMURE said that this might be a conve-
nient opportunity to state the intentions of the Govern-
ment in reference to the militia. It was proposed to add
to the staffs of the several regiments q uartermasters, who
should hold commissions, and who would relieve the staff
from the care of the stores and arms of the regiments.
With regard to the subaltern officers, many of whom
bad incurred considerable expense in joining the militia,
it was proposed to allow each subaltern three months'
pay as a gratuity. It was intended to allow assistant
surgeons a year's pay ; and it was intended to pay the
private soldiers at once the pound bounty which was still
due to them.

The Marquis of SALISBURY asked if it was the in-
tention of the Government to add the non-commissioned
officers to the staff, so as so retain it of the strength at
which the regiment was embodied ?
Lord PANMURE said the subject of the question was
under the consideration of the Government.

After a few words from the Duke of BUCCLEUCH,
the motion was agreed to.

SMOKE NUISANCE ABATEMENT BILL.

On the motion of Lord RBDISDALE, the Smoke Nui-

MARRIAGE LAW AMENDMENT BILL.

Lord BROUGHAM moved the second reading of a
bill for amending the law of marriage in relation to mar-
riages celebrated on the borders of Scotland.
Lord CAMPBELL did not think the bill woald carry
out the objects intended.
Lord S P. LEONARD'S' thought it desirable that the
marriage law should be placed on a better foundation in
regard to marriages in Scotland.
After a few words from Lord BROUGHAM the bill
was read a second time.

COOPER V. BLADE, Q C.-THE CAMBRIDGE

JUDGMENT.

Their lordships delivered judgment in this case, which
has occupied the Court several terms, and was with re-
ference to what constituted treating at an election.
The defendant, who is the well known Q.C. of the
Western Circuit, was returned, ie conjunction with
Lord Maidstone, at the last election for Cambridge.
After the election the defendant was sued by the plain-
tiff under the 17th and 18th Vie., cap. 102, for certain
penalties of 1001. each, for promising money to one
Carter, an elector of the borough, for voting for him and
Lord Maidstone, and fur having paid Bs., the railway
fare of the ♦oter from Huntingdon, where he resided, to
Cambridge to vote. The case was tried before Mr.
Baron Parke, when the jury returned a verdict for the
plaintiff. A bill of exceptions was tendered to the ruling
of the learned Baron, which, it was contended, was
contrary to the law in regard to the construction. of the
act of Parliament in question, and the case was afterwards
argued before the judges, who took time to consider
their judgment.

Mr. Baron Alderson to-day delivered the judgment of
their lordships, which, with the exception of Mr. Justice
Williams, was unanimous. The learned Baron said the
question which the Court hal to decide was the proper
construction to be put upon the 17 and 15 Vic. c. 102,
which made it illegal for auy person to promise money to
a voter to induce him to vote at an election for a par-
ticular candidate. After looking at all the circum•
stances of the case, their lordships were of opinion that
the promise of money to be paid to Carter, intimated in
a circular forwarded to him by defendant's committee,
and that of his railway fare from his residence to the
poll, had not been made with a view of inducing him to
vote for Lord Maidstoue and the defendant, and that
consequently the defendant had not been guilty o f
aey act that brought him within the provision of the
above Act of Paraament. It was difficult to say why
a promise to pay a voter's travelling expenses should be
held to be illegal when a promise to give refreshments
was not. If it were illegal it would render every per-
son taking a vote to the poll in his own carriage liable
to a misdemeanour, which would be an alarming doctrine.
It was true that rainy committees and also many
Learned Judges had held giving refreshments were ille-
gal, whilst others had decided differently, but that dif-
ference of opinion might have arisen from a difference
of circumstances surrounding each case. The judges iu
this case were of opinion that the payment of the rail-
way fare as intimated in the circular issued by the de-
fendant's committee was not the payment of money to a
voter for corrupt purposes, and therefore reversed the
verdict of the Court below, and ordered it to be entered
for the defendant.

THE PENSION TO LORD DALHOUSIE.

The Marquis of CLANRICARDE, pursuant to notice,
asked " whether her Majesty's Government have sanc-
tioned the grant of pension of 5,000/, a-year chargeable
ou the revenues of India to the Marquis of Dalhousie ;
and to move forcopies of any correspondence or previous
communication upon the subject which may have passed
between the Board of Control and the East India Com-
pany ?" No one acknowledged more than he did the
eminent services and great merits of Lord Dalhousie,
but considering the position in which the Court of Direc-
tors stood, he contended it was unconstitutional in them
to grant away the revenue of India in this way, and it
was equally unconstitutional fur Ministers to sanction it.
After a few words from several noble lords the mo-
tion was withdrawn.
Their lordships then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COINIMONS.--(YEsTERDIY.)
The House resumed at five o'clock.
THE ADDRESS.

The SPEAKER reported to the house that he,
with her Majesty's Ministers and several of the
members of the house bad presented to her Majesty
the address agreed to by them relative to the con-
clusion of peace, and that they were most graciously
received by her Majesty, who thanked the house for the
loyal and dutiful address presented to her, and for the zea-
lous and cordial co-operation of the house and the people
in enabling her to prosecute the war, in conjunction
with her faithful allies, and to conclude an honourable
and successful peace. It was gratifying to her Majesty to
know the resourcesof the country, notwithstanding the
demands that had necessarily been made on it, remained
unimpaired, and her Majesty concurred with the house
in the hope that this peace, which was based on the
common interests of Europe, would long continue, and
tend to pr3mote the welfare and prosperity of the peo-
ple, and also to the advancement of civilisation through.
out the world.

The Lords' amendments to the Milford Junction Rail,
way Bill were considered and agreed to.

MR. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-

FICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from
;he original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or
decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful
operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth
rendered sound and useful In mastication.-52, Fleet-street. At

THE COAST GUARD.

Mr. STIRLING asked the S, !eretary to the Treasury
if the withdrawal of the Coast guard for employment in
the navy in 1854 and 1855 was followed by any appre-
ciable increase and loss of revenue. ; and Übe could state
the difference of expense Isetween the Coat guard and
the temporary substitute which replaced it ?
Mr. WILSON said the coast guard had been with•

drama to p.-,-rf.ir,n o;,her duties 'II 1854, and their places
bad been supplied by other partie4, oat in consequence
of that withdriwal the re,-enue had not suffered. Tae
revenue on tobacco had increased.
KENSINGTON GARDENS.

Mr. T. CHAMBERS a ked the Firs,. Cornmiisioner
of Works it Ite had talc n the opinion ,f the law offi-
cers of the Crown as to whether the sale of refros;
meats on Suoday in the b )(Ails about to be erected io
the puldic parks would expose the vendors to the
penalties imposed by the act 29th of Charles 11., c. 7.
Sir B. HALL said, in reply to the question of the hon.
gentleman, he did not think there was any necessity to
consult the law officers on the point, for this simple
reason, that as regarded Kensington-gardens and Vic-
toria-park, it was merely an exten-don of a practice
that had for some time been in existence, more especially
iniVictoria-park. The act of Charles was no doubt in
existence, and any person could put it in force ; but if
such a proceeding was adopted, every confectioner's
shop would be shut up, every railway closed, and eves y
telegraph stopped. (Sear, and laughter.)

THE NATIONAL GALLERY.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN.
SIR,—It is to be desired that the authorities at the
National Gallery will apply an unwontedly mild treat-
ment to their fragment of " wall painting" by Giotto,
as, a day or two before the sale of Mr. Rogers' pictures
took place, I was informed by one of the attendants in
the auction room that it was safely deposited in a dark
corner, and could not be moved, because it was "falling
to pieces !"
From this I infer that the beautiful picture of Puck—
Shakspere illustrated by Reynolds—is not as yet in a
sufficiently mellow condition for the connoisseurs at the
National Gallery.—l am, &c.,

Now, when he came to compare this with the loss of the
Russian army and the loss of our allies, he thought we
ought to be thankful to Almighty God for having thus
lightly permitted to fall on this country the scourge of
war. He was told on good authority that the loss of the
Russians was not under 500,000 men. He had no autho-
rity to state tho loss of our allies. He would not mention
the names of any of the living officers engaged in these
operations, bcoause he found that o❑ returning general
thanks to the army it had not been the practice to do
so ; and, besides, the number of those whom they should
have to thank would make a catalogue of almost every
officer in the service. But they could not but remember
with gratitude the names of Cathcart, and Goldie, and
Strangways, and Torrens, and Adams, and Sir John
Campbell, besides many others who had died in conse-
quence of their wounds. He was happy to say, that
while they reposed on the field where their fame had
been earned, the cemetery in which these herles lay in-
terred would, be was certain, be regarded with respect
by that nation which was now no longer our enemy. He
also proposed that the thanks of their lordships should
be given to the foreign legions which had entered into
her Majesty's service. They amounted to fully 15,000
able•bodied activesoldiers, ready, had the war continued,
to enter into active service. These consisted of the
British German Legion, under the command of Baron
von Stutterheim

JUDGMENT.

Their lordships delivered judgment in this case, which
has occupied the Court several terms, and was with re-
ference to what constituted treating at an election.

The defendant, who is the well known Q.C. of the
Western Circuit, was returned, in conjunction with
Lord Maidstone, at the last election for Cambridge.
After the election the defendant was sued by the plain-
tiff under the 17th and 18th Vic., cap. 102, for certain
penalties of 1001. each, for promising money to one
Carter, an elector of the borough, for voting for him and
Lord Maidstone, and for having paid Bs., the railway
fare of the ♦oter from Huntingdon, where he resided, to
Cambridge to vote. The case was tried before Mr.
Baron Parke, when the jury returned a verdict for the
plaintiff. A bill of exceptions was tendered to the ruling
of the learned Baron, which, it was contended, was
contrary to the law in regard to the construction of the
act of Parliament in question, and the case was afterwards
argued before the judges, who took time to consider
their judgment.

Mr. Baron Alderson to-day delivered the judgment of
their lordships, which, with the exception of Mr. Justice
Williams, was unanimous. The learned Baron said the
question which the Court had to decide was the proper
construction to be put upon the 17 and 13 Vic. c. 102,
which made it illegal for any person to promise money to
a voter to induce him to vote at an election for a par•
ticular candidate. After looking at all the circum•
stances of the case, their lordships were of opinion that
the promise of money to be paid to Carter, intimated in
a circular forwarded to him by defendant's committee,
and that of his railway fare from his residence to the
poll, had not been made with a view of inducing him to
vote for Lord Maidstone and the defendant, and that
consequently the defendant had not been guilty o f
any act that brought him within the provision of the
above Act of Parliament. It was difficult to say why
a promise to pay a voter'► travelling expenses should be
held to be illegal when a promise to give refreshments
was not. If it were illegal it would reader every per-
son taking a vote to the poll in his own carriage liable
to a misdemeanour, which would be an alarming d ictrine.
It was true that committees and also many
Learned Judges had held giving refreshments were ille-
gal, whilst others had decided differently, but that dif-
ference of opinion might have arisen from a difference
of circumstances surrounding each case. The judges iu
this case were of opinion that the payment of the rail-
way fare as intimated in the circular issued by the de-
fendant's committee was not the payment of money to a
voter for corrupt purposes, and therefore reversed the
verdict of the Court below, and ordered it to bo onterod
for the defendant.

several banks, as given in the Banking Almanac, the
following appease to be the state of the circulation :

The Irish banks are above their fixed issue 2,120,248
The Scotch barks are above their fixed issue 696,174

Total above the fixed issue .. £816,422

of the Bank of England for the same period, will give
the following results of the circulation of notes in tha

is to be desired that the authorities at the
National Gallery will apply an unwontedly mild treat-
ment to their fragment of " wall jinting" by Giotto,
as, a day or two before the sale of Mr. Rogers' pictures
took place, I was informed by one of the attendants in
the auction room that it was safely deposited in a dark
corner, and cuuld not be moved, because it was "falling
to pieces'"

From this I infer that the beautiful picture of Puck—
Shakspere illustrated by Reynolds—is not as yet in a
sufficiently mellow condition for the connoisseurs at the
National Gallery.—l am, &c.,

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

While the German Jagers—the mercenary cut-
throats of Vatorland—are creating disturbances at
Plymouth, the authorities of the good city of
Exeter are intimating in a rather marked manner
their patriotic disgust at the Peace of Paris. As-
sembled in council to decide as to what really
after all should or should not be done upon
the day ordered to be set aside for Rejoicings,
with squibs, crackers, pop-gun-shows, fireworks,
and all sorts of absurd illuminations and trans-
pan ncies, the Mayor and Corporation of the
city of Exeter resoled without one dissentient
upon letting the day pass without taking any
notice whatever of it ! For the very sufficient
reason that the Treaty recently signed contains
nothing at all in any way satisfactory to true
born and right-minded Englishmen. Bravo ! say
we to the Exeterites. May their bold and manly
decisions exact an honourable emulation elsewhere
in_all parts of the United Kingdom.
