THE PARIS TREATY OF PEACE.

Lord J. MANNERS put a question to the noble lord
relative to the article of the Treaty of Paris, and also in
reference to the Circassians.
Lard PALMERSTON said in reference to Mr.
Ewart's question, that the Government felt it their duty
to give effect, as far as possible, to the opinions of the
house emboelied in a resolution, but the resolu-
tion agreed to last
reference to the session by: the house in
appointment of a Minister of
Justice was so appointment
understand what was meant, The
it was. difficult to
he appointment of a
Minister of Justice was &desirable object to accomplish;
but there were so many difficulties surrounding it that
the Government had not been able
etettochrry out
that part of the resolution. With refereyne
he zetlhieeveqdueese-
tien of the noble lord (Lord J. Manners),
application was made at Paris by certain Circassie chiefs for assistance against Russia ; but as the Cirn- '
cassians took no part in assisting the allies, it was
not thought desirable to renew the war on their
behalf, the object for which the allies went to war
with Russia having been accomplished. With
regard to the 12 articles of the Treaty of Paris, relative
to the opening of the ports in the Black Sea, Russia had
opened three on the eastern side, but none on the
western side. Application had been made to Russia to
open porta on that side, but she declined—first on the
ground that the ports to be opened were only
to be those where custom-house, quarantine, and
police regulations existed. To that the Govern-
ment remonstrated, and (Russia then excused her-
self from not opening those ports, on the ground that
she was engaged in hostilities with tribes on that part
of the coast, and had been unable to make the necessary
arrangements for opening them. Communications were
going
.on between the two conntries for carrying out the
provisions of the treaty.
After some remarks from Mr. Napier, Mr. Locke
Xing, and the Attorney-General,
The subject dropped.
THE GOVERNOR OF DOMINICA.
Mr. BLAND asked
the Under Secretary for War,
whether Major Ord, of the Royal Engineer:, had been
appointed Governor of Dominica ? and if so, whether
be was still retained on the full-pay list of that corps ?
and if se, whether there were any reasons for his being
in exceptional case ?

BANKRUPTCY LAWS.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said s bill for the

was already prepared and] would very shortly be

was not yet decided.
CONVEYANCE OF TROOPS TO INDIA.

Viscount DUNGANNON rose to call the attention
of the Government to the unsafe and unseaworthy
nature of the ships selected for the conveyance of the
troops to India by the overland route from Saes to Aden,
but more especially to the condition of the Alma and
the Ajdaha, sent to convey a detachment of the
69th Regiment. This regiment ,was sent out to India,
but on arriving at Suez it was discovered that the Alma,
which ought to have conveyed them on, had broken her
shaft. The troops were afterwards transferred to the
Ajdaha, which also sprung a leak, and was compelled
to put back when about fonr hundred miles from
Aden. He bad been informed that the Ajdaha had
been unseaworthy, and had been condemned eighteen
months before she was taken up, and he wished to know
from they Government whether such a statement was
correct
Lord PAM:IT:IRE said the matter was very easily
explained. In her passage to Suez before the troops were
embarked an accident occurred to an important part of
the machinery of the Alma, the vessel selected for the
eonveyance of the 69th Regiment, andiit was consequently
impossible that she could proceed. The troops
were transferred to the Ajdaha, but from an
accident, which no human foreQight could prevent,
she sprung a leak, and was compelled to return
to Suez. Both casualties were such that it was impos-
sib!, to provide against, but he was happy to say that
no loss of life occurred. Daring the whole of the trans•
port of troops to India, there bad not been a single
instance in which loss of life had occurred.
After a few words from the Earl of CARNARYON and
the Earl of HARDWICL the subject dropped.

Asturias at the baptismal font. Prince Galitzin,
the Russian Minister, was paying a visit to the
different provinces of the kingdom, is order to re-
port to his Government on their political condition.
In the Senate, the Minister of Public Works an-
nounced It tt the law relative to the importation of
corn continues in force to 30th June, but will not be
pr.( longed. The Queen had presided at the cere-
mony of presenting the cardinal's hat to the Arch-
bishops of Toledo and Seville ; it took place with a
good deal of pomp in the royal chapel. A royal
decreo establishes a commission charged to fix the
tariffs of such railways and canals as have not yet
had their charges fixed. In so doing it is to take
into account the expense of constructing the lines,
the subvention of which they have received, and
the amount of the traffic.

ELECTION OF EAST INDIA DIRECTORS.—A gen'ral

this day for the purpose c f choosing the governor and
deputy-governor for the ensuing year. Sir F. Currie
will he appointed governor, and W. J. Eactaick,

tions, but it is generally understood that Sir J. P.
Willoughby and Sir H. Vivian will be re-appointed, and
that S r G. Pollock will succeed S,r Lawrence Peel, who

THE MDSEII3I OF THE LATE HUGH MILLER.—A

Provost in the chair. The chairman stated that the late
government had set aside 5001. towards the purchaie of
the museum and the placing of it in tho Edinburgh In-
dustrial Museum. Two other offers had been received,
the ono from a Scotch noblaaan c f 1,0001., and the other
from an American college of a thousand guineas. To
prevent its removal across the Atlantic it would be
ones: ary that the government grant should be supple-
mented to at least 501. above the highest offer. A sub-
scription-list was opened and a committee appointed to
promote the subscription.

REPRESENTATION OF GREENWICH.

Last evening a crowded public meeting of electors
of the borough of Greenwich, was held at the
School-room, King-street, Deptford, for the pur-
pose of adopting measures to enable Mr. Townsend,
M.P., to retain his seat in the House of Commons.
Mr. MACDONNELL, of Greenwich, was called t•
the chair.

Mr. DAVEY, of Charlton, moved the first reso-
lution, expressive of confidence in Mr. Townsend,
and a determination to retain his services. lie
observed that the friends of Mr. Townsend in the
districts of Woolwich, Charlton, and Plumstead,
would stick by him to the last, or rather until they
found that he was unworthy of their confidence.
(Cheers.) It was singular that an association of the
friends of Mr. Townsend had not been formed be-
fore, but it was not too late, and such a plan would
be the means of uniting the Liberals, so that they
would be prepared, at any future time, to return
true Radical Reformer, even in the event of Mr.
Townsend's resignation.
Mr. FITZGERALD seconded the motion, which was
unanimously adopted.
WCARTHY proposed, " That an p.asociation
be now formed, to be dciiignated ' The Townsend
Leaguer,' in order to raise subscriptions to main-.
lain Mr. Townsend in his seat, and that such as-
' 606 ation be composed of electors and non-electors."
Mr. DEWEY seconded the motion, which was
unanimously adopted.
It was then resolved that the executive of such
association be a committee conflating of 24 mem-
bers, eight to be elected by each of the three towns
comprising the borough ; tind a sub-committee of
electors from Greenwich, Deptford, Woolwich, and
Cliarltcn, was also appointed to prepare the rules
of the association, to be submitted to an adjourned
meeting on Monday evening next.
Several operatives, employed at Deptford Dock-
yard and at the factory of Messrs. Penn, stated
that a weekly subscription had been organised for
some time, and a considerable sum was now in
hand.

Mr. W. G. Masters was appointed treasurer for
Deptford district, and expressed bis intention to
give every assistance to the movement.
The proceedings then terminated.

BELGIUM.

The Belgian Senate resumed its sittings on Mon-
day. The sitting was a brief one, as no object of
discussion bad been submitted to it. A le. ter was
read from the President, the Prince de, Ligne, in
which he excused hls non-attendance on the ground
of the family loss which he has recently experienced,
and requested a leave of absence, which was granted.
The Senate adjourned after having assigned to the
various committees for examination the bills adopted
by the Chamber of Representatives. The next day
the latter assembly resumed its sittings, but the
proceedings were unimportant.

SARDINIA.
The Independente cf Turin of the 12 h says
" The majority of the Chamber mtA yesterday, to
cc-me to an arrangement relative to the c:utiter-
project of the minority of the committee on the De
Foresta proposition. It was agreed to in principle
that conspiracy against, or attempts to take the life
gnov chief of a foreign govern-
of, a foreign soverei
ment should be punished by hard labour. The
penalties imposed fur the apology of such crimes
were approved of. As regards the jury, it was
proposed that the list should be drawn up by a
commission, consisting of the mayor, of two muni-
cipal councillors, and of two members of the Pro-
vincial Council, elected by the respective councils.
Some of the members, however, intend to propose
the system of categories.'

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

Although only a moderate supply of beasts was on offer
in to-day's market, the demand for all breeds ruled very
inactive, at Monday's decline in value. Sheep, the Chow
of which was extensive, moved off heavily, at a decline in
the quotations of fully 2d per Sibs. We were fairly sup-
plied with lambs, which met a dull inquiry, at 2d to 4d
per 81b.. The show of calves was only moderate ; never-
thelese the veal trade was heavy, at a decline of 64 per
81bs. Pigs and much cows were very dull, and lower to
purchase.

LA.TEST NEWS.

INDIA,

The following telegram has been received at the

India House :

To J. D. Dickinson, Esq., India-house.

Lucknow was completely occupied on the 17th
of March. On that [date] the sixth (the last) post
of the enemy in the Moosabagh was captured. '
The enemy had retreated northwards.
The cavalry is in pursuit.

111 guns have been taken.

Captain Mitchell and Lieutenant Boole, of the
Artillery, with a party of Ghoorkas, have rescued
Mrs. Orr and Miss Jackson. The ladies had
been protected by Meer Valeed Alby Derejal, and
had been well treated by him.
The restoration of authority in the city has been
commenced, and great efforts are in progress for
reassuring the population, which had fled in
great numbers to the neighbouring villages.
London, England, 1858-04-15

having been wronged by her in 1801, he did not
consider it honourable any longer to acknowledge
her publicly as his wife. But, especially towards
1819 (the time of the plaintiff's birth) a good un-
derstanding existed between the parties. It 'was
beyond any doubt that in 1819 both lived in Va-
letta, and no physical impossibility existed of their
seeing each other. She produced a great number
of witnesses, mostly old servants and neighbours of
the baroness, to prove that a correspondence existed
b itween the baroness and the chevalier ; that small
preAsuts were often reciprocally sent to each other,
such as game on the part of the chevalier, and cona-
fitures on her part • that the chevalier borrowed
money from her ; that she kept her carriage at his
stable, and that he occasionallymade nse of it; that
meeting in the street they used to say to each
other on revoir ; that he been seen several times at
her h :use, both in town and at Citta Vecchia, both
before and some time after the birth of the plain-
tiff ; that the chevalier's brother and other mutual
and influential friends were very pressing in their
endeavours for a reconciliation ; that the cheva-
lier had knowledge at the time of the accouohe-
ment of the baroness, and that it was only a few
years after that he entirely ceased his visits ; and
that his wrath against his wife was observed to re-
kindle from reasons that it was unnecessary to
relate to the Court. The plaintiff, in short, con-
tended that these might be considered as explana-
tory circumstances, that she advanced her action on
the great principle of the Roman law, that the
child born during the marriage is the child of the
husband, and that therefore she was the legitimate
child of both, and entitled to succeed them before
all others.
On the part of the defendants, it was argued that
so early as 1801 the chevalier had separated him-
self from his wife ; that this separation continued
up to the time of the husband's death, and they
produced evidence to the effect that none of the
friends and visitors, both of the baroness and the
chevalier, ever heard of a reconciliation having
taken place between them, or had ever seen them
together.
The learned Judge pronounced his sentence, and
non-suited the plaintiff.
We understand that she has appealed to her
Majesty's Court of Appeal.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 14th have arrived.
The Clamor Publico and Iberia had been seized.
The Grand Cross of VA, Order of Charles 111. had
been conferred on the Pope's Nuncio, in considera-
tion of his having held the infant Prince of the
Asturias at the baptismal font. Prince Galitz'n,
the Itu,sian Minister, was paying a visit to the
different provinces of the kingdom, ita order to re-
port to his Govei nment on their political condition.
In the Senate, the Minister of Public Works an-
nounced ilea the law relative to the importation of
corn continues in force to 30ih June, but will not be
prolouged. The Queen had presided at the cere-
mony of presenting the cardinal's hat to the Arch-
bishops of Toledo and Seville ; it took place with a
good deal of pomp in the royal chapel. A royal
decree establishes a commission charged to fix the
tariffs of such railways and canals as have not yet
had their charges fixed. In so doing it is to take
into account the expense of constructing the lines,
the subvention of which they have received, and
the amount of the traffic.

ELECTION or EAST INDIA DIRECTOBS.—A general
Court of Directors of the East India Company was bold
yesterday, at their house, in Leadenhall-street, for the

s. 4, to serve as directors for the period of six years.
The court was then dissolved. The directors will meet
this day for the purpose of choosing the governor and
deputy-governor for the ensuing year. Sir F. Currie
will be appointed governor, and W. J. Eastwick,
deputy-governor. No ingmation has been received, up
to the rising of the court, of the Government nomina-
tions, but it is generally understood that Sir .J." P.
Willoughby and Sir H. Vivian will be re-appointed, and
that S.r G. Pollock will succeed Sir Lawrence Peel, who
has re;igned.
THE MUSEUM OF THE LATE iluan MILLER.--A
meeting with respect to the, purchase f this geclogical
museum was held in Edinburgh on Monday, the Lord
Piovoat in the chair. The chairman stated that the late
government bai set aside 5001. towards the purchaic of
the museum and the placing, of it in the Edinburgh In-
dustrial Museum. Two other offers bad been received,
the one front a Scotch nobleman of 1,0001., and the other
frqoa an American college of a thousand guinear. To
prevent its reini)val across the Atlantic it would be
necessary that the wavernminat grant should be supple-
mented to at least 50/. above the highest offer. A sub-
scription-list was opened and a committee appointed to
promote the subscription.
