PAROCHIAL CONSTABLES.

Mr. DEEDES asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether it was the intention of the
Government to bring in any measure this session to repeal
the Acts relating to the appointment and payment of paro-
chial constables, viz. 5 and 6 Vic. c. 109 ; 13 Vic. o. 20 ;
and part of 7 and 8 Vic. c. 52.
Sir G. C. LEWIS said that no doubt the alterations
that had taken place rendered it necessary that there should
be a change in the laws passed some time ago. It was very
desirable that the laws in question should be repealed, and
as soon as ho had obtained the necessary information on
the subject it was his intention to bring in a bill to meet
the requirements of the case.
DRAWBRIDGES IN DUBLIN.
Sir E. GROGAN asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland
if he could say when the repairs of the drawbridges on the
quays in Dublin would be completed, and if he had any
objection to lay a copy of the contract entered into by the
Board of Works for such repairs upon the table of the house?
Mr. CARDWELL said that he had no objection to lay
the document alluded to on the table of the house.
LICENSES. •
Mr. DUTTON asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
whether the wholesale wine license at £lO 10s. conferred
upon the holder the power of selling by retail, without the
necessity of taking an additional retail license ?
Sir F. KELLY also asked a question on the same sub-
ject.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, said it was
never the intention of the revenue department to deprive
the holders of 10 guinea licenses of the privileges which
they were entitled to under the present law. On making
inquiry of the authorities of the revenue he was informed
that there was no intention to prevent persons hold-
ing such licenses selling a single bottle of wine by retail,
and such an intention had never been entertained by the
Government.

THE ARMY.

Major-Gen. Lord IV: Paulett, C 8., will assume
he command of the South-west District on tht
[7th inst.

Capt. Norton, several of whose inventions and
missiles have recently been brought under the no-
tice of the Government, has succeeded in effecting
some improvements in the balls fired from the ordi-
nary Brown Bess musket. The balls used by Capt.
Norton in the trials he has made at Chatham and
Gravesend are those cast in a No. 12 mould, and
enclosed in his gossamer cartridges, a very small
charge of powder only being required. In the
experiments made at Gravesend Master Gunner
Alexander, R.A., the artillery instructor to the
volunteer corps, fired 20 shots in succession at a
two-feet target, each shot striking the target at a
distance of 200 yards. The range was then ex-
tended to 250 yards, and the same number of shots
fired, when, with only two or three exceptions, each
struck the target. In firing these 40 rounds not
the slightest difficulty was experienced in loading,
although the balls fitted so closely that the barrel
appeared to be effectually sponged out by the gossa-
mer casing of the cartridge. The charge of powder
used in each cartridge was only two and a hall
drachms, and from the size of the gossamer cart-
ridge there was no loss of propulsive power by
windage.

(IN THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT of
V 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, M.R.C.S.E.,
And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the
• • • Cure of Strictures of the 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 olthe scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. By Ms syqematic 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 stricturc."-r-Medleal Circular, Dec. Ist, 1858.

THE NAVY.

The screw steamship St. George, 00, at Plymouth,
will be put in commission shortly. It is reported
that after the screw steam frigate Euryalus, 51,
Capt. Tarleton, has been to the Cape of Good Hope
and Gibraltar, she will return to England, when
his Royal Highness Prince Alfred will leave her
for the St. George.

The Fcrew steamship Orion, 91, Capt. John J. B.
E. Freer, which has been some time in the Medi-
terranean, is daily expected under canvas only at
Plymouth. Her machinery is deranged, and when
the screw revolves she leaks aft; the decks also are
reported to be in a very bad condition. She will
go into Keyham steamyard.
The screw steam frigate Melpomene, 51, Capt. J.
F. E wart, flag of Admiral Martin, from Portsmouth,
which put into Plymouth Sound on Sunday after-
noon, sailed in the evening for the Mediterranean.
The Virago, 6, paddle, Commander M. B. Dunn,
arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from the
eastward.

The Rainbow screw gunboat steamed out of
Portsmouth yesterday to Spithead to test her ma-
chinery, preparatory to proceeding to Queenstown
as tender to the Ajax steam coastguard ship at that
port.

The Immortalite, 51, screw, is being eoppered in
No. 7 Dock, at Portsmouth.

The Ariel, 9, screw, will go out of Portsmouth
harbour this morning to Spithead, for the purpose
testing her machinery.
The Argus screw coastguard vessel sailed from
Portsmouth yesterday for the westward, with the
broad pendant of Commodore Yelverton at the main.
The following appointments were made yester-
day at the Admiralty :—Henry Lanchester, acting
3d class assistant-engineer, to the Asia, for tempo-
rary service in the Stork ; and W. J. Hall, pay-
master, to the Bacchante.

SARDINIA.

A letter from Turin of the 13th, in the Constitu-
winel, says :--" The meeting of the Sardinian
Parliament will nut, it is said, take place until the
12th April. The King intends, when the expres-
sion of the wishes of the population of the Romagna
is made to him in a few days, to deliver a speech
in which he will declare that ho postpones his ac-
ceptance for the present, adding that negotiations
have been opened for the purpose of reconciling
those wishes with respect for the rights of the Holy
See. Unfortunately these negotiations will not, it is
feared, lead to any result. The crisis will, there-
fore, be only postponed for a few days. The Rus-
sian Envoy at this Court has made some remon-
stances to Count Cavour on the subject of popular
sovereignty in general, and particularly with regard
to Savoy. The departure of Prince de Carignan for
Nice has been countermanded, although every thing
had been prepared for his journey, the object of
which was to pay his respects to the Empress of
Russia. The difference of opinion which is said to
have arisen between the two Courts of St. Petersburg
and Turin, may perhaps be the cause of the journey
being suspended. Perhaps also this act of courtesy
which his Royal Highness was about to pay to
her Imperial Majesty was considered as being
inopportune, and not very pleasing to France, where
it must 1-e well known that the Russians, who re-
side in great numbers at Nice, have shown them-
selves as the warmest opponents to annexation
to France. The annexation of Central Italy
to Piedmont is everywhere accepted with the
greatest enthusiasm. This great event will be
celebrated here by fetes of all kinds. There
will be a grand representation at the Theatre

THE DEAD BODY DISCOVERED IN KENT.
Mr. T. DUNCOISIBE asked the Home Secretary if his
attention had been called to the fact that the body of a man,
of the name of Thomas E. Kean, recently found dead in the
woods near Seal, in Kent, was interred without any inquest
being held upon it ; and what steps had been taken in con-
sequence. The hon. member entered into a statement of
the circumstances already published relative to the deceased.
Mr. MILDMAY drew attention to the differences that
prevailed between magistrates and coroners in reference to
the fees of the latter, which ha contended operated injuri-
ously in respect to the holding of inquests as in the present
ease.

Mr. CLIVE explained that the Homo-Office had power
to compel coroners to hold inquests. In any difference that
arose between them and magistrates, all that Government
could do was to introduce a bill on the subject, which they
had done, and that bill had been referred to a
select committee. The coroner for the district where
the event in question took place had been written to, and
replied that the man had wandered in the woods, having
previously loft his boots at a house where he was staying,

PARIS, FRIDAY.

The .Moniteur publishes a report to the Emperor
from Marshal Randon, Minister of War, proposing
the suppression of the two additional companies
which were added to each of the battalions of the
foot chasseurs in 1853, thus reducing them to eight
companies each, which was their strength from
their first creation in 1840 up to the above year.
The officers belonging to these companies will be
successively replaced in the infantry as vacancies
may occur. The change in the battalions now in
Italy and China will not be made until they re•
turn to France. The report is signed by his Ma-
jesty in approval of it.
By an Imperial decree, M. Michel Chevalier,
Councillor of State, has been raised to the dignity
of Senator ; M. Riche, member of the Legislative
Body, is nominated to succeed him in the former
office.

By an Imperial decree Generals of Division
Count de Grouchy, Morin, Count de Monet, and
Mengin Lecreulx, have been promoted to the rank
of Grand Officer in the Legion of Honour; and Gene-
rals of Brigade de Marguenat, Sencier, Baro n Am-
bert, and Guiod, to that of Commander.

badoes has been sustained by some of the English insur-
ance offices. The total is reported at £130,000, and the
Sun-office is said to be the largest loser.
The Committee on Joint-Stock Banks on Thurs-
day determined to recommend to the private establishments
that the general hour for closing on Saturdays should be
fixed at 3o'clock, instead of 4 o'clock as at present. The
question will be decided by the private beakers on Monday
next, and no doubt is entertained that three will be the hour
adopted. The agitation on the question commenced by the
expression of a desire on the part of a majority of the lead-
ing commercial houses that the closing on Saturdays should
tab place at two o'clock,

EMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY.) •
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsaok
At five o'clock.

THE DIVORCE ACT.
The Earl of WICKLOW presented a petition froinDub •
lin, 'praying that the Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Act
might be extended to Ireland.

The Marquis of CLANILICARDE presented a petition
from Dr. Cahill to a similar effect. Ile did not wish to see
the law extended to Ireland, but he thought something ought
to be done to enable parties residing in Ireland to come
to this country, and, avail themselves of the provisions of
the Divorce Act.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said when he was
amending the bill, he introduced a clause enabling Irish
Protestants to come to England and avail themselves of
the act, which clause was supported by all the Irish peers
in the house, but it was struck out of the bill in its pro-
gress through the ether house.

not be chary of their support. No one who looks
at the Wreck Chart of the British Isles, published
yearly by this society, but must thrill-at the
thought of the stout hearts and sturdy frames
that have gone down in the pitiless waters,
of the anxious eyes that looked in vain for
their coming, of the desolate households and
widows and orphans whose dear ones perhaps
perished on their own coasts with no hand
stretched out to aid them. Surely, when millions
are readily voted for the destruction of life and
men, taxes readily submitted to, sums of such com-
paratively small amount should be speedily forth-
coming for such a purpose.
We can only echo the regret expressed by Mr.
FORBES, chairman of the Massachusetts Shipwreck
and Humane Society, that on looking at the Wreck
Chart of the British Isles, in some cases hundreds
of miles still intervened between the lifeboat sta-
tions. It only remains for the public to give effi-
cient support to the indefatigable labours of the
committee, and to prove that the Royal Lifeboat
Institution is not only an effort of private benevo-
lence, but the recognition and fulfilment of the duty
owed by a commercial and maritime nation to
sailers and seafarers of every clime.

" FRANCE AND SAVOY.

" This question, if we are not misinformed, stands
thus at present :
" Sardinia is about to cede Savoy and Nice by

treaty to France:
" France will then consult the populations as
to whether they choose annexation to France, or a
separate independence.
" If they select the latter, then Savoy will be
constituted an independent State. If the former,
the result will be communicated to the great
Powers.

"' In the case of serious .disapproval and opposi-
tion on the part of the European - States—which,
however, is not anticipated—ilien France would
probably consent to the establishment of Savoy as
an independent State ; but these are, as the French
say, the eventualities, of the future.
" What is positive is, that France will never
consent, under any circumstances, to the retention
of what are called 'the French slopes of the Alps'
by Sardinia, enlarged, as she will be, to a Power
inferior only to Prussia.' "
Now, if this be the true, or even probable, solu-
tion of the matter, it looks as if the disapproval of
our Government, backed as it has been by the strong
remonstri
nce expressed in both Houses of Parlia-
ment, may have made NAPOLEON rather hesitate
in his design. We infer this the 'more from the
feeler held out to .make Savoy an independent State
in the event of the. populations not choosing annexa-
tion to France. But this is only the beginning of
tire end, and the Emperor NAPOLEON may soon find
that in his over-haste to secure a trifle he has risked
too mneh, end in the end precipitated, if he have
not missed, his destiny. PROVIDENCE has ordered
these things benevolently—that the strong may
provoke kretribution which the 'weak look upon,
in their despair, as beyond the bounds of hope.
Mr. KIXOLAKE brought the subject before the
House last night by asking the Foreign Secretary
whether there was any objection to lay upon the
table of the House his answer to Lord Bloomfield's

despatch of the 3d day of March, respecting the
proposed annexation of Savoy and Nice. Ile ex-

pressed a hope. that the noble lord would be able to

state that .the sinister rumours of the last few days

were not trues and that it was not the fact that the

Emperor of the FRENCH wa4 proceeding to an

vexation without consulting

Nor was Sir itonEnT PEEL mute on the subject.
The hon.. baronet denounced the policy of the
French G sovernment in terms which drew down
the cheers: of the house. The annexation of Savor,
