Russia will without difficulty accede to the demand
that the islands of Aland shall not be again fortified.
On the other hand, she is said not to intend to
restore Kars, except on condition of receiving some
equivalent in return.
It is true that the offer of the Aland Islands was
rejected by Sweden in the autumn of 1854, after
the capture and destruction of Bomarsund ; but it
was for the same reason that France and England
abandoned them, namely, that they were consi-
dered untenable without the possession of Finland.
The treaty of the 2d Dec., 1854, had the effect of
inducing King Oscar to come forward more boldly
than he had hitherto done, being led to believe that
Austria was going to take an active part in the war.
In the month of March last year the negotiations
were opened at Paris by Count Tascher (the
grand master of the household of the Empress
Eugenie), who is alike related to the present dynas-
ties of France and Sweden. King Oscar demanded
a guarantee for the continued possession of his ter-
ritory and a powerful material support. In conse-
quence of this a lively correspondence took place
between the Emperor of the French and the King
and the Crown Prince of Sweden, and a detailed
report of the resources of Sweden was transmitted
to Paris. The King demanded pecuniary subsi-
dies and an army of a hundred thousand men,
the operations of whom should be shared and
supported by sixty thousand Swedes. If they
succeeded iu conquering Finland, it was to be
given again to Sweden. -In the meantime,
when the negotiations had proceeded thus far,
the allies decided on confining their operations
for the year 1855 to the Crimea, with merely
a demonstration in the B-dtic. The real bona
fide Baltic campaign was adjourned, and it was
only after the fall of Sebastopol that the negotia-
tions with Sweden were renewed by the memorable
mission of General Caurobert to Stockholm, which
led to the conclusion of the treaty of November,
which, however, is only to be considered in the light
of a provisional one ; and there is every reason to
believe that if the Conferences at Paris are broken
off, and hostilities recommence, Sweden will boldly
throw off her neutrality, and take an active and
honourable part in the campaign, fur which every
preparation has been making for a long time, both
as regards the navy, the land forces, and the artil-
lery.

MILITIA.

Fifty voluntiers.hAve gone over to the Line from the
Aberdeenshire Militia. The 79th is the favourite regi-
ment for Militia volunteers in every part of Scotland,.

Prim IN TUE Crtr.—Last night, about nine o'clock,
a fire broke out in, a pile of warehouses belonging to
Messr,. Alleock, Hinton, and Co., oil merchants, dry-
salters, &c., in 'Alec Craue-lane, Upper Thames-street,
Cty, and extending backwards into Erick-hill-lane.
The firemen, although they were told that there were
several hundredweights of guripowder on the premises,
which, it is believed,,waS only an idle rumour,, stuck to
their pests in kniost intrepid manner, and by one o'clock
this morning,, they succeeded in arresting the further '
extension of tke fir.kulthouTh it was not entirely extin-
guished. The total amount of loss cannot at present be
ascertained, owing to the absence of the principals of the
firm ; but the damage must be very considerable, in con! -
sespience (lithe many thousand tons of warerdlteraiged
into the promisee', and which Inu'A a saturated the
dry goods.

PERSIA.

Mr. LAYARD gave notice that un the first day after
the house going into supply he should call the attention
of the home to our relations with Persia.
THE M`NEIL-TULLOCEI REPORT.

In reply to a question from llr. 8. W ORTLEY
Fr Mr. F. PEEL said that the reply of Lord Lncan and
also that of the Earl of Cardigan were referred to the
committee for their information, and a rejoinder bar?
been received from them. These documents would he
laid before the board that had just been appointed,
which Wag considered preferable to laying them before
that house.

Mr. T. DUNCOMBE asked whether Sir J. M`Neil
and Col. Tulloeh would be present at that inquiry, and
if they would have the power of examining and cross-
examining the witnesses.

Lord PALMERSTON said that the proceedings of the
court would be regulated by the commissioners. Cer-
tainly Sir John Al'Neil and Col. Tulloch would have an
opportunity of being present during the inquiry, like the
public. The commissioner 3 would have full powers to
govern their proceedings.
Sir DE LACY EVANS asked if the public were
to understand by the answer of the noble lord that the
commission might shut their doors, and proceed with
closed doors whenever they thought proper. (Hear.)
Lord PALMERSTON said undoubtedly they might.
They would have discretionary powers for regulating
the proceedings of the court.
The subject then dropped.
SLAVERY IN TURKEY.
Mr. BIGGS asked the First Lord of the Treasury
whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Govern-
ment, at the present Conferences at Paris, to require (in
the changes they meats to ad rigs in the Turkish institu-
tions) the abolition of the slave tra le and domestic sla-
♦ery in the Sultan's dominior ?

Lord PALMERSTON Raid that the Government had
used every exertion, and with success, to prevent the
slave trade on the Turkilli shores of the Black Sea. The
domestic slavery vial a question whist' did not properly
come within the functions of the Government.
ENFIELD MILITIA.

In consequence 4,f a question put by Mr. EVELYN to
the Secretary for War relative to this regiment of militia
not being embodied.
Mr. LAXARD called the attention of the
house to what he called a job with re-
ference to this regiment, most of the officers
being relatives of Lord Enfiald; the commander. A
Ppiri ted discussion took place, in which Lord PAL-
MERSTON. Mr. BYNG, and Sir E. PARRY took part, repu
diatiog the charge of jobbery.

R .sal Italian Opera, had gone. /or rest and relaxation
to the Isle of Wight, where he was attacked by the
complaint which has terraiwated so fatally. Mr. _Bau-
mann was an accomplished • musician, and his death will
leave a place in the orcbe Stra which it will be difficult
to supply. He was a meo Aber of the Ancient Concerts,
the Philharmonic Concer' 6, and her Majesty's Theatre

denounced and tortured as actual conspirators.

But the other day we had to record an atrocity
—the savage murder of CICERUACCIIIO and his
sons and companions—which broke down even the
stilted moderation of the Times itself, and brought
forth a peal of stately thunder. What but a ran-
corous pleasure in cruelty could have induced a
Prince of the Imperial family to shoot men driven
ashore by stress of weather, men owing no alle-
giance to Austria, and who had violated no law ;
voluntary exiles merely from-. Rome when the
President of the French Republic strangled the
liberties of the Roman Republic ; their leader a
man of distinguished probity, endeared to all

classes of Roman citizens, his two sons, one but
nineteen, th© other but thirteen years of agol
what, we repeat, must have been the malignity
and the cruelty which could butcher such an inof-
fensive band with every circumstance of atrocity,

Wo have had much rain during the past week, which is
the cause of so few samples of new wheat appearing in the
market. Wheat of good quality Is per qr. higher than
last Tuesday, but the trade has closed dull. Very little
new barley offering, for which high prices are obtained.
Other articles unaltered in valuo.

BRISTOL—AUG. 26.
We have had very unfavourable weather for all kinds of
harvest operations since this day week, causing consider-

excitement in the trade; farmers asking, and in many
instances obtaining, ,an advance of from 3s to 4s per qr.
since last week. Foreign wheat a similar improvement.
Barley in demand and scarce. Oats in more request, and

MURDEROUS ASSAULT. —John Prendergast, an Irish-
man about 40 years of age, was brought before Mr.
Selfe, charged with assaulting and wounding Mary
Welch, his sister, who appeared to have been brutally
beaten about the head and face. She had also received a
wound of some extent on the nose, herlips were cut, and
she had lost three of her teeth from the brutal violence
of her brother.

The complainant said that her brother came to her
dwelling No. 7, Stepney Causeway, yesterday morning,
and after pushing the door in asked if the murderer was
there, and called her a murdering b
W , and
other bad names. She begged of him to go away and
let her be at peace, on which he attacked her with
great fury, and then beat her about the head, face,
and body with his fist, and also dislodged three
of her teeth from her mouth. He also struck
ber with a sharp instrument and wounded her on
the nose, and when she fell he kicked her. She had
been under medical treatment all night, and was very
weak from loss of blood. In answer to Mr. Selfe, the
complainant said her brother wanted her to make a false
representation to a loan society, to enable him to borrow
a loan, which she refused to do, and that was the cause
of his hostility towards her. Ho made a disturbance at
her dweiling five weeks ago, and he then beat her. She
was bruised all over her body. She had kept her bro-
ther three months when he left Ireland, and had been a
good sister to him. This was the way he requited her

kindness.
Michael Carey confirmed the evidence of Mrs. Welsh,
and said that he was knocked down by the prisoner
when he went to her protection.
The prisoner put in a long written statement, and
told a long and incoherent story, the substance of which
was that his sister bad murdered his wife three months
Ago by frightening her, turning her blood into water,

lIISTORY.

State the circumstances under which the Great Char•
ter, the Petition of Right, and the Bill of Rights, were
adopted ? Enumerate the principle of the English Con-
stitution, as set forth in these documents, distinguishing
those principles that are found in 'all, and those that are
found only in one or two ?

Swift, Writing in the year 1710, says :—" Amongst us
there seems to have been a barrenness of invention in
this point of party names, the a ords Whig and Tory,
although they are not much above 30 years old, having
been pressed to the service of many successions of par-
ties with very different ideas fastened to them."
Explain the origin of the words " Whig " and "Tory,"
and examine the truth of Swift's statement by consider-
ing the principles of Whig and Tory parties from the pe-
riod fixed by him down to the year 1775.
Why is the age of Elizabeth regarded as an era in
English history ?

inst., after giving an account of the reception of
the various ambassadors and persons of distinction

Marquis Visconti Aytni, foreigners of distinction,

" ?he Countess of Paravicini, Mrs, Coll, and

LETTERS FOR THE COLONY OF NATAL,

The following official notice has been issued :
Letters for Natal, when not addressed to be sent by
some vessel proceeding direct to that colony, will in
future be forwarded by way of the Cape of Good Hope,
and will be subject in this c3untry to the same charge
as letters addressed to the Cape of Good Hope, which
charge must be paid in advance.
For their conveyance from the Cape to Natal they
will be liable to an extra charge on delivery ; but letters
forwarded from England, by direct ship, will be subject
to the ordinary charge of ship letters, and no more.
Upon these letters the ship letter rate of Bd. per half-
ounce must be paid in advance.

An excursion train left Southampton yesterday for
the Crystal Palace ; it contained 800 persons.
The Borsen, Zeitung of Aug. 25, states that the evacu-
ation of the Isle of Serpents, which had been already
announced by telegraph, is now amply confirmed by
letter. At the same time it transpires that the three
parties to the treaty of April 15 have expressed their
satisfaction at this result to the Russian Cabinet, but
at the same time have implied the necessity that exists
for Russia's expressly renouncing any claim to any of
the Danubian Islands, and that this renunciation should
be looked on as though it formed part of the Treaty
of Paris, signed March 30.
MANCHESTER TRADE REIN:MT.—MANCHESTER, Tues-
day.—Our market was rather quiet, though on the whole
prices were perfectly steady. Owing to the state of the
weather showing symptoms of a favourable turn, any
attempt at a reduction was firmly resisted on the part
of sellers, and it seems for the present that our pro-
spects are chiefly dependent on the reports from the ag-
ricultural districts respecting the housing of the still
outstanding orops.
The news that Baron de Hubner was charged
with a special mission from the Austrian Govern-
ment to the King of Naples, which has been very
much questioned, is now confirmed. A despatch
from Naples of August 17 announces that Baron
Hubner arrived there the evening before, and had
left for Gaeta to see the King.
On Tuesday the 14th inst. his Excellency Lord
Granville, Ambassador Extraordinary of her Bri-
tannic Majesty, had the honour to be received in
audience by his Majesty the Emperor, on which
occasion his Excellency handed in his credentials.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

EXTENSIVE FRAUD.—Henry Way, a waiter out of a
situation, was brought before Mr. Beadon, for re-examina-
tion, charged with having obtained from Mr. Peter
Plant, hosier, No. 4, Waterloo-place, several parrs of
silk hose, and other articles, of the value of 291. 145.,
by false and fraudulent representations.
William John Salmon said he was assistant to the
prosecutor. On last Saturday week, about two o'clock
in the afternoon, the prisoner came into his shy, and
said his master, Mr. Greaves, a customer of theirs, who
was staying at Farrance's Hotel, wanted some elk hose
and linen shirts. Believing the prisoner's statement,
witness let him have six pairs of silk hose and for linen
shirts. On the following Monday prisoner cure again
and requested him to send Mr. Greaves eight more
shirt, twelve pairs of white silk hose, twelve pairs
of speckled hose, and a dozen pocket hindker-
chiefs. Witness made out the invoice, amounting to
291. 145., for the whole of the goods, which he handed
to the prisoner, who left the shop. Witness's suspicions
were subsequently excited, and he went to Farrance's
Hotel and saw Mr. Greaves, who denied having sent
for the goods, or all knowledge of the prisoner. On the
following Tuesday the prisoner favoured hint with an-
other call, and requested to have the cambric handker-
chiefs for silk ones. Witness detained him while he
sent for a police constable, upon whose arrival prisoner
was given into custody.
The prisoner, who admitted the obarge, pleaded poverty
as the cause of his being placed in his present position.
Committed for trial.

= Translated from the German of Dr. PICIgFORD.

" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
Sal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall ietect any
ether equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to cor-
rect."—London Medical Gazette. " The tribe of Quiet Sympathisers,'
and 'Medical Friends,' aro mercilessly exposed ; and if this hook
could find its way into the hands of those who suffer from the com-
llaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
±e saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money.— —This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spennatorrhma, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and phy<lological basis. It is, therefore,
