norary citizen, has since 1848 been conferred
only on six persons—viz., Marshal Radetzky,
Baron Haynau, Baron Jellachich, Baron de Hess,
and the Princes de Schwartzenberg and de Die-
trichstein."

A letter from Vienna of the sth, in the Ger-
man Journal of Frankfort, says : " The
Archbishop of Olmutz, Landgrave of Fursten-
berg, left yesterday for Chemnitz. The Prince
Archbishop of Schwartzenberg will proceed to
Prague on the Bth. Count Colloredo, the new
ambassador to Rome, will leave next week for
his post. Count Lenzoni, the Tuscan ambassa-
dor at Vienna, has returned after a long absence.
M. A. Berenyi, the dramatic author, was killed

the Government of Cracow, in place of Count Mer-
candin, who returns to the council of the empire.

THE PEERAGE and BARONETAGR
for 1856

By Sir BERNARD Bi3RKE, Ulster King of Arms.
New Edition, Corrected to the Present Time, from the personal
Communications of the Nobility, &c.
"For the amazing quantity of personal and family history, admir-
able arrangement of details, and accuracy of information, this
genealogical and heraldic dictionary is without a rival. It is now the
standard and acknowledged book of reference upon all questions
touching pedigree, and direct or collateral affinity with the titled
aristocracy. We have also in its pages much entertaining historical
matter, and many very curious and interesting family traditions.
The work is, in fact, a complete cyclopmdia of the whole titled classes
of the empire, supplying all the information that can possibly be
desired on the subiect."— Morning Post.

THE LATE ASSAULT BY THE POLICE.

Mr. BOWYER wished to aik the Secretary for the
Home Department if his attention had been drawn to a
violent assault committed by a policeman upon a young
la ly on the occasion of the proclamation of peace, and
ales whether he intended taking steps to discover the
offender

Sir G. GREY said his attention had .been drawn to
the circumstance alluded to. The magistrate before
whom the assault was heard had dismissed the case.
He had been in communication with that magistrate,
but it was not usual for the Secretary of State to inter-
fere in such cases unless same complaint was made to
him. No such complaint had been made to him, but he
had given orders to the police authorities to use their
utmost exertions to discover the man, and when that
was accomplished further steps would be taken.
Mr. T. DIINCOMBE asked why the recommenda-

whether he had any objection to lay the correspondence

Lord PALMERSTON said that application had
been made to the Portuguese Government respecting
the breach of treaty in question, but as yet no answer
had been received. He had no objection to lay the corres-
pondence upon the table of the house.
CANADA AND THE WEST INDIES.

In reply to a question from Sir S. NORTHCOTE,
Mr. LABOUCHERE said there had been a communi-
cation between the Chairman of the Board of Coinmerce of

THE COAST GUARD.

Mr. STIRLING asked the Secretary 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 if he could state
the difference of expense between the coast guard and
the temporary substitute which replaced it ?
Mr. WILSON said the coast guard had been with-
drawn to perform other duties in 1854, and their places
had been supplied by other parties, bat in consequence
of that withdrawal the revenue had not suffered. The
revenue on tobacco had increased.

ciable increase and loss of revenue ; and if he could state

KENSINGTON GARDENS.

Mr. T. CHAMBERS asked the First Commissioner
of Works if he had taken the opinion of the law offi-
cers of the Crown as to whether the sale of refresh-
inents on Sunday in the booths about to be erected in
the public parks would expose the vendors to the
penalties imposed by the act 29th of Charles IL, 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 extension of a practice
that had for some time been in existence, more especially
in;;Victoria-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 every
telegraph stopped. (Hear, and laughter.)

KENSINGTON GARDENS.

Mr. T. CHAMBERS asked the First Commissioner
of Works if he had taken the opinion of the law offi-
cers of the Crown as to whether the sale of refresh-
ments on Sunday in the booths about to be erected in
the public 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 extension 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 every
telegraph stopped. (Hear, and laughter.)
London, England, 1856-05-10

THE WHITSUN-HOLIDAYS.

Lord PALMERSTON, in deference to the wish of
the house, moved the adjournment of the house at his
rising till Monday the 19th. The Government would
lose by that arrangement eight hours of valuable time
for the transaction of Government business, and he
hoped the house after the recess would have no objection
to allow the Government to take the eight hours on
order nights after 12 o'clock. (Laughter.)

PARDON TO FROST, WILLIAMS, JONES,
SMITH O'BRIEN, AND OTHERS.

Mr. T. DUNCOMBE asked the First Lord of the
Treasury, whether, in consequence of the numerous
memorials presented at different times in favour of a full
and free pardon to Messrs. Frost, Williams, Jones,
Smith O'Brien and other political prisoners, whose con-
duct during exile had been without reproach, it was also
the intention of her Majesty's Government, ou the cele-
bration of peace, to advise her Majesty to comply with
the prayer of those memorials, and thereby enable those
exiles to return to their native land ?
Lord PALMERSTON said that he had great plea-
sure in stating that the announcement that had ap-
peared in the daily papers relative to the amnesty
was entirely and perfectly true. (Loud cheers.) Her
Majesty, following the impulse of the dictates of those
generous feelings which so eminently distinguished her,
was determined to take advantage of the re-
turn to peace, and from the unexampled loyalty
that pervaded the kingdom from one end of it to the
other—(cheers)--to do an act of grace and clemency to-
wards all persons suffering exile for political offences
(with the exception of those unfortunate persons
who bad broken all the ties of honour), and the
amnesty would therefore include the persons named by
the right hon. gentleman the member for Finsbury,
whose conduct since their banishment had been exem-
plary. (Cheers.)

THE FOREIGN LEGION.

—.—
Col. DUNNE asked whether the pay and allowances
mentioned in the return laid on the table of the house
were the only advantages to be granted to the officers
and men of the Foreign Legion ?
Mr. F. PEEL slid the return was perfectly accurate
—the officers would be allowed 3 months' pay, and the
men 12 months' pay.

METROPOLIS LOCAL ACT AMENDMENT BILL.
In reply to Mr. T. DIINCOMBE,
Sir B. HALL said it was intended to withdraw the
present bill, which stood on the paper for this evening,
and to introduce a new bill after the Whitsuntide recess.
THE LATE ASSAULT BY THE POLICE.
Mr. BOWYER wished to ask the Secretary for the
Home Department if his attention had been drawn to a
violent assault committed by a policeman upon a young
lady on the occasion of the proclamation of peace, and
also whether he intended taking steps to discover the
offender
Sir G. GREY said his attention had been drawn to
the circumstance alluded to. The magistrate before
whom the assault was heard had dismissed the case.
He had been in communication with that magistrate,
but it was not usual for the Secretary of State to inter-
fere in such cases unless sense complaint was made to
him. No such complaint had been made to him, but he
had given orders to the police authorities to use their
utmost exertions to discover the man, and when that
was accomplished further steps would be taken.
Mr. T. DUNCONIBE asked why the recommenda-
tion of the commissioners who sat last year on the police
cruelties in Hyde-park, that the letters and figures on
the policemen's coats should be more distinct, had not
ladybe carried into effect. If it had been, probably the
in question would not have mistaken the policeman?
Sir G. GREY said he gave directions that it should be
carried into effect, and he thought it had been done.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Before Lord Campbell and a Common Jury.)
HILL T. COWLEY.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who re-
sides in Manchester-street, Manchester-square, against
the defendant, a ppermaker, of Gloucestershire, to re-
cover the sum of 301. bets on the mare Lady Constance,
and two other horses named Glenstray and Spinaway,
in the year 1854. The defence was that the money had
been paid. After hearing evidence, which was very con-
flicting, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for
the amount claimed.

A YOUNG SOLDIER.—On the occasion of her Majesty
reviewing the militia regiments at Aldershott, she took
particular notice of a boy or child, named Dyer, who is
in the baud of the Royal South Gloucestershire Militia,
and is only six years old. A few days ago Genera
Knollys sent for the bandmaster, and read a letter to
him which he had received from her Majesty, in which
she expressed her pleasure that a boy so small had
been brought up to a military life, and sent him money
to purchase something in remembrance of her visit ; a
sword and belt were accordingly bought, and presented
to the little hero, with this inscription—" This sword
and belt were purchased with a sum of money
sent by her Majesty to Jonah Dyer, jun., of the Reya'
South Gloucester Militia, aged six years, on the occa-
sion of her reviewing the troops at Aldershot Camp,

THE PEACE AND THE COMING

ELECTIONS.

TO TILE EDITOR OF THE SIIN.

SIR,—You again appeal to the English people, and
right well are you upholding their cause; but it is la-
mentable to observe the apathy that exists among that
immense body of them who could not have considered
last Sunday as a day of "joy and satisfaction." Men
with whom I, for one, am in the habit of talking to,
seem now to be bewildered on the subject, but who some
months ago would ❑ot have said or thought that such
conditions of peace were honourable or likely to be
lasting.
I should, perhaps, only spoil the cause which you so
vigorously and patriotically take up by saying another
word about it, except that, according to the saying now
in vogue, "the right man in the right place" should be
the watchword for constituents at the next election. It
is my intention (in consequence of his votes in the House
of Commons) not again to give my vote for the present
member, or any party candidate who may come forward
for the county in which I reside. How truly was it
said, " Party is the madness of many for the gain of a
few !"—Yours faithfully,
A FLINTSIIIRE ELECTOR AND OLD
SOLDIER.
