bable that the affairs which require his presence at the

time to come, each Po sver being represented by its second

Apsley, on theist April, before Mr. W. Wiseman. deputy
coroner for the 1-Innour of Ampthill, on the body of Eller
Barratt, about 12 years old, who was found dead in bed
on the 30th ult. The evidence went to prove that, al-
though the parents and elder children were in good con-
dition, yet the younger ones were in a frightfully ema-
ciated state, and it appeared that this must have resulted
from the parents baying kept them, morning, noon, and
night., fixed to the " lace-pillow," and feeding them with
gruel for breakfast, gruel for inner, gruel for supper,
with an occasional modicum of bread ; but no air, n.
exercise, no amusement, no relaxation, nothing bat
work, until the bodies. of the poor things were waste(
literally to a skeleton with a skin over it. The jury re--
turned a verdict (if manslaughter against the parents.
and they were committed to B-dford gaol until_ the nexo
aseizec—Beelford Times.

RUSSIA.

A St. Petersburg e nrespondent, writing to the
Cologne Gazette the day before the signature of the
treaty, says :
"There is nothing here but enthusiasm for the much'
longed-for peace. People care little about its terms,
but only want to know that it is signed. Russia will
take a lesson from her political and economical expe-
rience, and hasten to supply what is lacking in her re-
sources. These are, first, the progress and development
of the useful arts ; and next, a better organisation of
the army. The Emperor is working energetically for
both objects."

POLAND.
WARSAW, March 21.—The country awaits with
anxiety the issue of the Conferences. We have
not yet lost'the hope that after the English, French,
Turks, and Sardinians, our turn will also come.
Doubtless, we shall no longer fire great guns and
hazard the little that remains to us to please the
foreign newspapers, as we did in 1816 and iu 1848;
but if you will act frankly with us, we are all
ready. If, on the contrary, you conclude peace
without making any alteration in our present posi-
tion, I cannot answer for the consequences.
In thn official world every order his for some
time had a military tendency •, drugs for 300,000
men have been ordered for the military stores of
this country alone. Is this a hoax, to make people
believe that we are ready for a subsequent war ?
For it is generally believed that everything that is
done here is immediately known abroad. There
are no regular troops at Warsaw, and very few in
the kingdom of Poland ; the service is entirely per-
formed by the militia, who perform. it very. unwill-
ingly, their service having already exceeded the
period for which they considered they were en-
gaged.
The new recruiting is going on with great rapi-
dity ; it amounts, in our little kingdom alone, to
30,0Q4) men.
Some officers of distinction believe that it is not
thought in Russia that Cronstadt can resist the new
English armaments. Russia laughs in its sleeve at,
the foreign newspapers and speculators on the ex-
changes who call its weakness and impotence gene-
rosity and disinterestedness. Before Europe they
put on the mask of magnanimity ; before their
countrymen that of astuteness. They say that they
are breaking up the Anglo-French alliance for their
own interest, and that they will join France either
against England or, what is more likely, against
Austria.

There is nothingnew here but a new set of officials.
Nothing in the system is changed. On the contrary,
the Russian language . vrhic4 had formerly been

report.)
EDUCATION OF OFFICERS IN THE ARMY.
On the motion for the house going into committee of
supply,
Mr. S. HERBERT called the attention of the house
to the education and instruction of officers in the army,
and, in doing so, said that he was induced to trouble the
house on the subject from seeing that in the estimates
placed on the table there had disappeared from it for the
first time an item, not large of itself, but to which great
importance was attached, viz., a vote for ensuring the
education and instruction of officers of the army, and
to elicit an expression of opinion against the
necessity of affording some means, and of offering
facilities to regimental and staff officers for im-
proving themselves in the higher branches of their
profession. The right hon. gentleman said his object
was not to enter into the question of disbanding the
army, and what number of men should be kept in time
of peace. All agreed that this country could not
'keep up a large standing army during peace ; but
that they should keep up an efficient on• in brigades
and divisions, that may be able to expand itself in time
of need. An army small in number must be compen-
sated by giving it the highest possible training and
efficiency. He should not enter into the defects of our
army, which, on comparison with other countries, stood
well. Our army, with all their difficulties and draw-
backs, not the fault of their officers or men, bad done
wonderful things. (Hear, hear.) He had no intention,
then, to deal with the instruction to be provided for the
men, because a plan of regimental schools was in opera-
tion, which was prospering and increasing, though no
doubt susceptible of improvement, and which
improvement was forcing itself on the atten-
ton of the Government daily. There could be
no doubt but that the men should be taught something
more than their daily drill—that every man of the army
should be trained to self-sufficiency for every purpose in
the field. The hon. gentleman then referred to the inspec-
tion of the regimental schools, which he condemned. The
inspection of these schools should be given as prizes to
officers of great experience and standing in the army,
and not as now to War-office clerks, who knew nothing
whatever about the requirements or discipline of an
army, and which he looked upon as a great error on the
part of the Government.
[LEFT SPEAKING.]
London, England, 1856-06-05

mark here, after our having visited the "French
Exhibition" at No. 121, Pall-mill, that we
regard Henri Scheffer's picture of our great
novelist as by far the most successful as a
likeness. Yet there is, of course, no comparison
at all to be drawn between the artistic powers
of the two brothers Ary .Scheffer stand-
ing, in some respects, altogether alone and
unparalleled. In his portrait of Charles Dickens,
however, he has allowed his passion for umber to
be altogether and distressingly dominant. The
coat is light brown, the hair, the beard, the
moustache are all light brown (lighter brown than
in the original) the background is ail brown
the whole picture is one large blot of brown.
But that there is the unmistakeable genius of
Charles Dickens looking out upon us from the can-
vass, one might almost expect to find in the cata-
logue that it is a portrait by another Freneh artist
than Scheffer (say, Lebrun) of—Brown Brown,
Esq., of Brownville ! A portrait of bim taken
at a moment when he was in a decidedly " brown
study," or, maybe, in the first chagrin of having
been taken in by somebody,' or, in other words,
thoroughly " done brown." Convinced, however,
in spite of everything to the contrary, that it actu-
ally does represent Boz, and no other than Boz—
we feel quite persuaded that before giving the
artist a sitting, if Mr. Dickens has been reading
anything he ha% been reading Browning.
If he has been haunted by anything like his own
Haunted Man, it must certainly have been, not by
pixies or by fairies, but by those wee folk of elf-
land—the brownies ! If he has been musing over
any of his own creations, it must have been neither
" Little Dorrit," nor even " David Copperfield,"
but unquestionably—over " good Mrs. Brown "
of Dombey and Son, or over excellent " Mr.
Brownlow "of Oliver Twist. Ary Scheffer would
really seem to have painted the picture according
to the comic song " All to astonish the
Browns." However—seeing that the one fault
of this remarkable production as a work of
art is a fault of colour—we feel persuaded
that it would look to perfection, as a portrait,
if well engraved. Let us hope that it will
be so engraved, and that thus in many of our
English homes there may soon be hanging on the
walls, in some favourite hook of the familiar house-
room, copies of this (in many respects) mas-
terly portrait of Charles Dickens, taken in black
and white from the brown original of Ary Scheffer.

sabre at the review of lact Saturday are all matter

;!.

The Emperor hardly looks so old as he is-
-38 ; appears to be about sft. 10in. high, rather
slight than stout, and by no means of the athletic
form of his father ; his countenance, when not de-
formed by the Prussian Lancer's cap, is expressive
of mildness and goodness and a certain degree of
conscientious perseverance. Possibly there may be
at other times a greater appearance of imposing
energy tha❑ it just now wears, for, according to all
accounts, he suffers very much from the fatigue
that his present position entails upon him.
The remainder of to-day will be spent in Pots-
dam, and to-night he will leave for St. Petersburg.
His departure, however, will not take place till
after midnight, in compliance with a Russian sr.-
p.rsti tion, that looks upon travelling upon a
Monday as of ill omen, as some of us do travelling
on Friday.
The Grand Duke Michael is a good-looking and
apparently good-humoured youth, of 24 or 25,
who seems to be as constant to his uniform of the
Prussian 4th Hussars as his elder brother is to
that of the Lancers. The Grand Duke Michael
came in yesterday to Berlin, and paid a visit to
Baron Manteuffel.
'Count Nesselrode left here to-day for Kissingen,
whither he is gone to take the benefit of the waters.
The Emperor held a Cabinet Council here last
Saturday at the hotel of the Russian Embassy.
In various Paris letters this visit of th© Emperor
of Russia to this Court is looked on as a political
demonstration against the triple treaty of April 15.
There is very little ground for this ider.

OUR RELATIONS WITH AMERICA.

The Earl of HARD WICKE asked for any informa-
tion the Government had in respect to a question of the
greatest importance.

The Dnke of ARGYLL (interrupting) expressed
hope that the noble earl would not press any question in
respect to America in the absence of his colleagues in
the Government. He had bean engaged in c3mmittee
up to three o'clock, and was unable to satisfy him upon
the point.

The Earl of lIAItDWICKE wag about continuing
his observations when he was again interrupted by
The Earl of MINTO, who said he thought the noble
earl was out of order in pressing the qn-,stion.
Earl GRANVILLE having taken seat at this time,

The Earl of lIARDWICKE asked whether he
bad any objection to inform their lordships whether the
report which had that day appeared in the public papers,
that our representative, Mr. Crampton, had been dis-
missed from his position in the United States, was cor-
rect ?

The Earl of GRA.NVILLE said he was not aware
that any information had been received by the Govern-
ment as to any such matter.

APPELLATE JURISDICTION (HOUSE OF
London, England, 1856-06-05

OUR RELATIONS WITS AMERICA.

Mr. DISRA.ELI wished to ask her Majesty's Go,
vernment whether it was true as has been stated that
her Majesty's Minister had quitted Washington at the
wish of the President of America, and if so, whether
they had any statement to make on the subject.
Lord PALMERSTON said her Majesty's Govern-
ment had received the news indirectly that Mr. Cramp.
ton had received his passports, and hal quitted Wash-
ngton for Toronto. There had been nothing yet re-
ceived directly from that gentleman, and therefore he
had at present no further statement to make on the
subject.

OATH OF ABJURATION BILL.

In reply to an HoN. MEMBER,
Lord PALMERSTON said it would be convenient
to-tnorrow to proceed with this bin.

Sir E. B. AMERICA.
LYTTON said, on the motion for the ad-
journment of the house to-morrow, he should ask a
question of the noble lord with respect to our relations
with the United States.

THE CRIM.EA.N COMMISSION.
Mr. PALK asked the Under Secretary for War when
Commission, presided over by
the report of the Military
General Sir Alexander Woodford would be laid upon the
table of the house ?
Mr. F. PEEL said he was not aware that the board
of general officers bad made a report__

MR. LONGWORTH'S MISSION.
Lord C. HAMILTON begged to ask whether there
would be any objection to lay on the table of the house
the report of Mr. Longworth relative to his mission to
Circassia ?

Lord PALMERSTON said it would be very
objectionable to lay the report of Mr. Longwmth on the
table. The parties with whom that gentleman had beer,
u communication, he thought, would be very much pre-
ndiced by such a proceeding.
THE BALTIC FLEET.

Sir C. NAPIER asked if there was any objection to
lay on the table of the house returns of the vessels of
war of all descriptions put out of commission since the
signing of the treaty of peace ; of clast-gnardmen dig-
barged from the fleet ; of riggers and men who have
completed five years' service, and have been discharaed ;
of the continuation mon now in the service, with their
rating ; and of the number of men the ships now in com-
mission are short of complement ?
Admiral BERKELEY said there was an objection
t o produce any of the papers referred to, with the ex-
ception of the number of continuation men now in
er vice.

Sir C. NAPIER then gave notice that on Monday he
should move for the production of the papers that had
been refused. _

ROYAL ASSENT.
Sir A. CLIFFOED, the tsher of the black rod, appeared
at the table, and summoned the Speaker and the mem-
bers of the house to the Rouse of Lords to hear the
Royal assent given by commission to several bills that
