in his duties as master of a ship, andthat h
e should
ferl great pleasure in taking Mr. MParlan e as his
master in any future vessel he might ha ye the
honour to command. The Court then clot .ed to
c onsider their finding, and remained in deli). 'era-
ti( in above four hours. On re-opening, the senteilce
wt. is read by the Deputy Judge Advocate, award-
ing- a severe reprimand to Commander Power, an-d,
the loss of one year's rank. Also severely repri-
ma'. nding Mr. M.Farlane, with the loss of three
yea rs' rank, .accompanied by the observations, that
there was no evidence of currents to account for
the loss of the ship, nor to account for her being
16 ni,iles out of her course; that precautions were
not ti iken where currents were known to exist in
running between the islands; nor were soundings
taken with the deep-sea or hand lead-lines.
I Neither was the master on deok, as he ought to
ha;ce been, when the watch was left in charge of a
warrant officer. conduct of the remaining
officers and crew after the grounding of.the vessel
was deserving of special mention from the Court.
Commander Power's conduct also on the vessel
stranding, and the coolness and decision of his
measures in getting the women and children, with
the troops, on shore, and providing for their
safety, w ere deserving all praise.
The mah'ufacture of the 100-pounder Armstrong
guns, intended for naval service, is now making
rapid progres.S at the Royal gun factories, Wool-
wich. Six of that species were yesterday success-
fully tested at the Arsenal butt, and were passed
for service. The new principle introduced by Sir
William Armstrong for the purpose of affording a
Lion al strength tothe breech an d chamber throughout
namely, of forging that segment entire, and they
a dmitting the metallic fibres horizontally, is nolf
pronounced an undoubted improvement, as the
failures, which were of frequent occurrence at for-
mer trials, occasioned by the weakness in the thread
of the screw, the bursting of the breech, and the
separation of the segments or opening of the ere'
vices, appear to be totally remedied. The whole
of the heavy guns, it is stated, will in future be
manufactured according to that principle. Some
25-pounders are likewise to be manufactured for
ship service, a sample of which has been inspected
and approved by the Board of Admiralty..

cheers.)
The toast was followed by the National Anthem.

The LORD MAYOR said the next toast was " His
Royal Highness the Prince Consort, the Prince of
Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family."
The LORD MAYOR next gave "The Army, the
Navy, and the Volunteer Services of the Coun-
try." He hoped that the recent successes of
the army in China would ensure to us another
long interval of peace. He would associate the
name of his Royal Highness .the Duke of Cam-
bridge with the army. (Cheers.) In connexion
with the navy they had the honour of having
among them a gallant sailor, a British tar, who
had gone forth as a volunteer on a most trying
enterprise, and shown the greatest perseverance,
skill, and judgment in the accomplishment of a
service on which the British people had placed their
hearts. He meant Sir L. M'Clintock. (Cheers.) He
would call on that distinguished officer to respond
for the navy. There were present several gentle-
men who were immediately connected with the
Volunteer element of our national defence. The
name of Lord Elcho was prominently and most
honourably associated with the Volunteer move-
ment—(cheers)---and he would call on his lordship
to acknowledge the toast for that part of the ser-
vice. (Cheers.) He gave" The Army, the Navy,
and the Volunteer Forces of this Country." (Loud
•cheers.)

His Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE,
who was received with loud cheers,. said—My
Lord Mayor, my Lords, Ladies, and Gentlemen,—
I rise to respond to the toast which has just been
given with so much kindness from the chair. I can
only say, with regard to the British army, that I

hope and believe its present condition is such as to
inspire the country with confidence that, should it
be called on to perform duty in the field, that duty
will he devotedly and satisfactorily performed.
(Cheers.) I have reason to come to this conclusion
from the circumstance that the army has of late
been much engaged in various parts of the world.
Within the last few weeks we have heard of the
success of the army, and I trust the results of that
success will lac of great advantage to the cauntry.
Certainly that success has been achieved with the
expenditure of much less time and blood than most
frequently takes place, but I do not think that on
that account less credit is due either to the Gene-
ral commanding or to the troops engaged under
him—(cheers) ; for the expedition which has been
conducted with so much energy in China owes
its success, in my opinion, very much to the
skill and energy with which it was prepared.
(Cheers.) The Lord Mayor has dwelt on the cir-
cumstance that the country is at this moment in a
ias statebeen of far greater preparation for defence than it
during recent years. I flatter myself that
such is the case, and I believe this circumstance) 60

THE ALPINE PYRAMIDS.

• J.
" It had rained and been stormy during the night ; but
now it was bright, and I could see the mountains.
" I stood upon the lofty terrace of the cathedral, and
looked around me. It was bright—indescribably bright
and glorious. The splendour of heaven and earth seemed
to me twofold. Far below my feet rushed the rapid Aar,
through verdant meadows ; and there, encircling the dis-
tant horizon in their white draperies, stood the pyramids
of the Alpine land—Schreckhorn, Doldenhorn, Finster-
Aarhorn, Eiger, Monch, Jungfrau, with its silver horn,
and whatever other names they may bear—those primeval
Titans, the beautiful and magnificent forms of Switzer-
land. They were quiet now, those ancient assaulters of
heaven. The Lord of Heaven had scattered over them a
handful of snow, and they were turned to stone ; and now,
in helmets and armour of eternal ice, they stand and reflect
the glory of the sun. Oh I how white, how beautiful they
looked, and how their majesty was enhanced by his light.
The storm of the preceding night had gathered itself into
little islets of cloud, which were collected in dark specks at
their feet, and there vanished, dissolved by the sunbeams,
and attracted by the concealed spirits of the mountains to
the springs in their bosoms.
"How my soul's eyes and ears drank in this sight, and
listened to her voices which spoke to me from it.
" ' Have confidence in the sun I Let not thy courage
sink. Has not a nocturnal storm but lately passed over
thy life ? Did not heaven seem dark, and every prospect
on earth closed ? And did not the tempest, all at once, as
by a magic stroke, become dispersed, and everything was
again bright? See the cloudlets yonder, below the moun-
tains, how they melt away before the sun, which absorbs
them, changes them into blue ether, or into fertilising
springs and rivers I Thus, human sufferings and errors—
ah I that which makes life so dark and the heart so heavy
—thus pink they into the deep, thus are they dissolved by
the sun of the Divine goodness. Have confidence in the
sun?—sing, sing, oh heart, and praise its power, as do the
Alpine heights, the clouds, and the verdant, ever-youthful
earth I
" Joyously rushed on the Aar with swelling waters ; the
birds sang, the acasia diffused its fragrance around, and
the earth and the Alps shone brightly. Oh, this morning
—I can express but little of that which I experienced
during it, of that which the sun and the Alps spake to
me."

IMPORTANT NOTICE.
The Management find it necessary to announce to their
Patrons that it will be impossible for a few nights at Christ-
mas to perform Balfe's eminently successful Opera with the
Grand Pantomime. The time in representation and scenic
preparation for an Harlequinade of such magnitude, renders
the temporary suspension of the brilliant Opera imerative.
Boxes and places will continue to be booked daily at the
Box-olllce for the reproduction of the Opera at an early
date.
The sensation created with the public on the first represen-
tation of Balfe's New Legendary Opera was mostrom enthu-
siastic. Continuous applause marked its progress f the
rise until the fall of the curtain. The demand for places daily
at the Box-office to witness this great musical work of our
popular English Composer, places the Management in the
erformance of BIANCA,
proud position of announcing the P

()N THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT of
STRICTURES of the URETHRA; showing why they
so often appear Incurable, when in reality they might be
removed by the most simple means.
By F. B. COURTENAY,

And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the

Cure of Strictures of tile Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures, of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. Ity his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—➢iedical Circular, Dec. Ist, 1858.

bill, explained that its object was to prevent the suppression
of one of the Faculties of Arts in the carrying out of the

sure, on the ground that the question which it raised had
been recently decided by the house after the matnrest
deliberation.
Mr. ELLICE assured the house that popular feeling in
the district was very strongly in favour of the objects of
the bill.
The LORD-ADVOCATE was willing to allow the in-
troduction of the measure, but without assenting to its
principle.

STEUART, but, after some conversation, the motion was
withdrawn.

FRANCE.

Mr. KINGLAKE gave notice that on Mon-
day next he would move that a humble address be
presented to her Majesty, thanking her Majesty
fir having ordered to be laid on the table the
correspondence relative to the annexation of Savoy and
Nice. Also that a humble address be presented to her
Majesty expressing, on the part of that house, the deepest
concern at the contemplated annexation of these provinces,
and thanking her Majesty for the part she had taken, in
concert with the other powers of Europe, in reference to
this subject, which had caused the greatest alarm and
distrust in Europe. (" Hear, hear," from the Opposition
benches.)

impression.

A petition was presented to the House of Com-
mons the other evening by the hon. member for
Sheffield which is not unworthy of some degree of
public notice. It appealed to the House on be-
half of a personage whose wrongs have been often
alluded to in these columns. The Prince of GON-
ZAGA, although possessing an undoubtedclaim to the
sovereignty of a considerable portion of Italy,
and having the rights of a British subject, has
been for years subjected to a system of persecu-
tion by the despots of Europt, whose malignity
found no excuse in the quiet and dignified de-
portment of the sufferer. The Austrian Govern-
ment has for years maintained a system of es-
pionage over all classes of its Italian subjects—
a suspicion being sufficient to doom an innocent
person to a punishment which, in a free country,
would only be inflicted for crimes of the deepest dye.
The unfortunate Prince has been doomed to suffer
not only from the natural of the great op-
pressors of Italy but also fr nn the stupidity, care-
lessness, and irrascibilit.y of the Jacks in office, who
exercised almost unlimited authority over the tri•
bunals of justice before the present Emperor of the
FRENCH had reorganised the Parisan police. Some
years since, while visiting Paris, the Prince was
seized owing to suspicions which had been excited
by the conduct of an imposter who had assumed
his name. Without a fair investigation, and with-
out any examination of his witnesses, he was thrown
into the prison at Maizas, and condemned to five years
imprisonment with a fine of 3,000 francs. Numerous
applications were made to the judicial authorities
on his behalf during the two years of his detention,

but the judges refused to listen to any representa- •
tions though supported by influential personages.
On the case being subsequently brought before the
EMPEROR by Lord COWLEY, his MAJESTY imme-
diately remitted the fine and set the prisoner at
liberty, thereby reversing the sentence of the Cor-
rectionnel de Police, and tacitly admitting its in-
justice. The Prince immediately returned to this
country, where he has since resided ; but, feeling
justly aggrieved at his treatment, and considering
that his honour was compromised by his imprison-
ment, he makes this appeal to the British Parlia-
ment, in order that his character may be cleared
from any stigma which might attach to it from the
prejudice of his judges and the studied concealment
of the facts of the case. We commend a careful
perusal of the petition in question to the members
of the Legislature, assuring them that all the asser-
tions it puts forward are fully substantiated by the
necessary documents. At a time like the present,
when the Italian interests form the great topic of
the day, the case acquires peculiar importance. As
it is evident that, before long, the Governments
of the Italian States will undergo many ehanges,
it would not be surprising should some share of
their old authority pass once more into the hands of
their native princes.

LUNACY (SCOTLAND) AND REFORM (SCOT

LAND).
Mr. STIRLING asked the Lord Advocate, in the ab-
sence of the Secretary of State for the Home Department,
whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government
to introduce into Parliament, in the present session, any
Bill to amend the Lunacy (Scotland) Act. He also asked
why the Reform Bill for Scotland had not been Oplaced in
the hands of members up to this time, notwithstanding
that the Reform Bills for England ,and Ireland had already
been irinted and issued.
Sir G. C. LE WIS said, with respect to the first ques-
tion, that a bill on the subject alluded to was under the con-
sideration of the Lord Advocate, and would shortly be in-
troduced. Some delay had unavoidably arisen with respect
to the printing of the copies of the bill, but it would be
placed in the hands of hon. members to-morrow.

eascelles, the son,
and Charles Henry Mills, Es the son-in-law, are
appointed trustees. Her lady lip has left her jewels,
trinkets, household furniture, plate, linen, and
china, and the carriages and horses, &c., and her
residence in Upper Brook-street, to her four un-
married daughters, who are also appointed resi-
duary legatees.
The will and three codicils of Thomas Wood,
Esq., of Littleton, Middlesex, colonel of her Ma-
jesty's regiment of East Middlesex Militia, and
aide de-camp to heiMajestT,were proved in London
by his eldest son, Major-General Thomas Wood,
the sole executor, the personalty being sworn
under £25,000. He has devised his real estates in
Cardigan and Carmarthen to his eldest son, and has
divided his property amongst his other sons and
his daughters, to whom liberal legacies and annui-
ties are bequeathed ; and a year's wages t 3 all his
servants.
The late Captain James Robert Dalton, R.N.,
had executed his will in France, dated March 26,
1858, and had made a codicil thereto in July, 1858,
which was not admitted to probate from its being
unattested. He died at Montreuil-sur-Mer, on the
Ist of January, 1860, where he had been resident
for thirty years. • The will was administered to by
his relict, the sole executrix, and probate was
granted to her so far as regards the property in
England and elsewhere, but save and except such
part thereof as may be in France. He has appointed
his brother, Major-General Charles Dalton, R.A.,
and his nephew, James Dalton, trustees. He has
bequeathed to his wife a life-interest in his pro-
perty, and has appointed his nephew, James
Robert Dalton, reversionary residuary legatee. On
the decease of his wife he directs his trustees to
invest £5OO, and apply the interest in keeping in
repair the tomb of his honoured parents, and of his
brother-in-law, General Sir Charles Dalbiac and
his sister, the wife of the general.—lllustrated

The report of the Intoreolonial Royal Mail
Steam Company, issued prior to their special meeting on
Friday, proposes to raise additional capital to the amount
of £62,500 in new shares, to provide another vessel to com-
plete the lines now occupied. The past operations are
stated to have been attended with success, and the interco-
lonial trade to be rapidly extending.

It is stated that as soon as the principles of the
annexation of Savoy shall be settled between France
and Savoy the great Powers will be invited to a
conference in order to examine the reasons brought
forward by France in favour of the annexation.
It is said that Count Arese, who has returned
to Turin, has been entrusted by the Emperor with
the mission to bring about a speedy and definitive
settlement between France and Piedmont of the
question of Savoy.

NAPLES (via Marseilles), MARCH 3.

A great display of military took place here on the
Ist inst. Some persons of high distinction have
been arrested. The Prince Torella had been con-
ducted to the Prefecture of Police, but was set at
liberty again. His brother, the Marquis de Bella,
has been detained. It is stated that several noble-
men are about to be exiled. Activity prevails in
the arsenals day and night.
Letters from Sicily announce that the Attorney-
General at Messina had been murdered, and that a
fulminating bomb had been thrown at the Director
of the police, by which two persons were wounded.

ROME, MARCH 3 (via Marseilles).

Great agitation prevails in the Marches. Tri-
coloured flags have been hoisted nightly at Viterbo.
It is asserted that the Papal Government is prepar-
ing a note accusing Piedmontese agents of exciting
the inhabitants. Revolutionary agents have in-
duced the inhabitants to give up smoking and tak-
ing part in the lottery.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, MARCH 6.

An Imperial patent has been published today
ordering the augmentation of the Imperial council
by extraordinary councillors, who are to be assem-
bled periodically, The Emperor himself will ap-
point for life as members of the council, the arch-
dukes, the clerical dignitaries, and some distin-
guished persons belonging to the civil and military
branches. The provincial diets are to propose 38
members subject to the approval of the Emperor,
who will choose every member from a list of three
candidates presented by the diets. These mem-
bers will take their seats in the council for six
years.

The following are the subjects which will be sub-
mitted to the discussion of the council :—the budget,
the examination of the balance of public accounts
the demands of the commission for the public debt,
and important projects of general laws. The coun-
cil will have no initiative in the discussion of the
wishes of the provincial diets. The ministers and
the heads of the public offices are entitled to take
part in the discussions of the council. The arrange-
ment of the rules for transacting the business of
the council is reserved. The councillors are to have
no allowances from the treasury.
Another imperial ordinance convokes the assem-
bly of the councillors for the month of May next,
in order to examine the budget for 1861, for which
purpose and for the active preparation of the esta-
blishment of the provincial diets the Emperor will
call competent men from all the provinces.
London, England, 1860-03-07

SAVOY AND NICE.

Mr. M. MILNES gave notice that on the motion of the
hon. member for Bridgewater for an address to the Crown
relative to the annexation of Savoy and Nice to Fiance, he
would move, as an amendment, to leave out all the words
after the following words, "annexation of Savoy and Nice,"
for the purpose of inserting these words, humbly ex-
pressing to her Majesty "deep regret at the agitatian of a
question affecting the frontier of a great State defined and
secured by the consent of Europe, and on apparently very
insufficient grounds; humbly assuring her Majesty that
this house will earnestly support her Majesty's advisers in
conducting the negotiations upon this question to an issue
compatible with the true interests of Europe, and with the
faithful obanvance of the treaties, and for the maintenance
of the peace of Europe."

1111 S DAYS MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The show of English wheat in to-day's market Was very
moderate. For good and fine samples there was a fair de-
diffimand
cu at
to M
quonday's currency, bu.t damp parcels were very
lt it.
For foreign wheat—the supply of. which was seasonably
good—the inquiry ruled inactive ; nevertheless, no change
took place in the quotations.
Floating cargoes of grain supported last week's currency.
There wa4 a fair demand for barley, at very full prices.
Fine malt maintained previous prices, but the demand
was much restricted.
Oats commanded extreme rates, and the transactions,
from want of supply, were almost wholly confined to gra-
naried samples.
Beans, peas, and flour moved off slowly at Monday's quo-
tations.

PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MARcn 6.
ARMY (SALE AND PURCHASE OF COM-
MISSIONS).

Motion made,. and question proposed, " That an humble
address be presented to her Majesty, praying that she
will be graciously pleased to order the gradual abolition,
as soon as practicable, of the sale and purchase of com-
missions in the army, (having duo regard to existing
rights)—with the view of substituting for the purchase
system, promotion partly by seniority and partly by
selection, grounded on war services or merit, length of
colonial and home services, and attested professional fit-
ness—under such regulations as her Majesty shall be
pleased to direct." The house divided :—Ayes, 59;
Noes, 213.
London, England, 1860-03-07

mittee, and embodied in the plan which the right hon.
gentleman the Secretary for War had presented to the
house. To that course he was still prepared to adhere, and
if they came to a division he would vote both against the
proposition for the total abolition of tho purchase system,
without saying how it was to be done, and any proposition
which would assert that that system ought to be defended
against all alterations. But it appeared to him that the
hon. and gallant gentleman who introduced the subject, by
pressing his motion to a division, would simply do an in-
justice to the cause which he himself had embraced, and
compel many members to vote against him who, on general
grounds, would be favourable to the principle he had enun-
ciated. (Hear, hear.)
Sir DE L. EVANS intimated that he would yield to the
appeal of the noble lord and withdraw his motion. (Hear.)
Lord PALMERSTON said, as his hou and gallant
friend did not mean to take the•sense of the house upon
his motion—(oh, oh)—he presumed that the hon. and gal-
lant member who moved -the amendment would not be
indisposed to withdraw it. (Hear, hear.)
Captain VERNON said that after what had fallen from
Sir De Lacy Evans, he had no other course to adopt but to
withdraw his amendment.

The amendment was then formally withdrawn, but, as
several hon. members negatived the withdrawal of the
motion, the house was compelled to divide upon it.
The numbers were—
