and raisei not in vain, to transfer that power to worthier I
hands. (Cheers.) So the people need be under no appre-
hension that in giving us the power they are placing it
out of their own command ; for if we lose their confi-
dence, the same voice that raised us to power will be as
decisive against us as I trust itwill'no wbe for us. (Cheers.)
It will be for the people of the country to determine
whether there were among the ranks of the Opposition
elements out of which an !efficient Administration could
have been formed. It is, of course, more convenient for
the Government to have no united band in opposition to
it—it smooths the path through a session—but I do not
say it is not in accordance with the constitution that
there should be oat of office, and opposed to office, a
body of men comprising the elements of another Admi-
nistration, capable of commanding the respect, and, if
they act propeily, the confidence of the country. (Hear.)
I doubt whether these elements at present exist. lam
led to doubt whether there is not more foundation than
may at first sight appear for the disclaimers we have
heard of coalitions and combinations. (Hear.) lam in-
clined to doubt whether there are not differences—
united, indeed, on a recent occasion—but differences
which lie deeper than the surface, which will prevent
that combination in office which has been shown in op-
Position. It will be for the future to show in what de-
gree that may be the case. In the meantime, I can
only return you my sincere and heartfelt thanks for the
honour you have conferred upon me this day. (Cheers )
I trust I am not overstepping the truth when I say that
I accept this honour, not simply as a mark of the confi-
dence which you are pleased to repose in an old friend,
but also as a mark of the estimation in which you hold
the Government with respect to the great questions sub-
mitted to the people of England. (Cheers.) I again re-
turn you my sincere thanks, aad I wish you all every
degree of happiness and prosperity. (The noble lord
concluded amid loud and enthusiastic cheers.)
A vote of thanks having been passed to the Mayor for
presiding, three hearty cheers were given for Lord Pal-
merston, and the proceedings terminated.

WAKEFIELD—MARea 27.

The wheat trade was dull, at is decline on fine sorts,
and is to 2s on inferior. Fine English barley was scarce,
and prices were in favour of the purchasers. Other torts
not much inquired for, and rather lower. Bean,;Cats,
and shelling sold slowly, and were somewhat cheaper.

TOWER HAMLETS.

Sir W. CLAY said that no language which he
could command could express the gratitude he felt
to the electors of the Tower Hamlets for the confi-
dence which they had so long reposed in him. He
assured them, distinctly, that there were very few
divisions of any importance, in any session of this
Parliament, from which he had been absent. As
far as he knew, he had not been absent from any,
division of importance ; there was rarely an even-
ing that he was absent from the house ; and
nothing could be more fallacious thin to esti-
mate the extent of a man's Parliamentary
labour by the number of times he was present at di-
visions. He hated mere eye-service, lounging about
the lobbies, and then rushing in to the division when
the bell rang, as some gentlemen did who had the
fear of Mr. Hayter before their eyes. (Laughter.)
Such gentlemen, of course, never missed a division.
But he wished to vote as his conscience dictated,
and as the interests of his constituents could best
Ibe served, So complete a disdain. had he t 9 get

MOLDAVIA.

A letter from Jassy of thei 14th, in the Ost
Deutsche Post, gives some details concerning
the entry of the Moldavian troops into the
new territory ceded by Russia, the bare fact
of which has been already mentioned by
telegraph. " The detachments of Moldavian
troops (says the letter) were put in movement yes-
terday, at 11 o'clock, with band playing and co-
lours flying, to take possession of their new guar
tars. At three commenced the passage of the
Prutb, and in less than an hour the whole of the
troops had arrived on the opposite bank. This
operation was effected in presence of the principal
Russian functionaries, in grand uniform. The posts
-on the frontier, as well as the minor functionaries,
had all been withdrawn in course of the morning,
At Rene the clergy came out in procession; and
chanted a Te Deum in the market-place, as the
troops marched into the town, in the presence of a
vast concourse of people. The troops were well re-
ceived, and the population seemed pleased at the
change of masters."

Country Markets.

LIVERPOOL—MAncrt 27.
There was a better attendance of country millers at onr
market to-day than was looked far, but they were buyers 0
wheat only, in quantity, at a reduction on last TuesdaY'l
prices, which holders would not concede to ; consequently,
the general business was quite in retail, at much the sate*
prices as were paid on Tuesday for wheat and the other lead. '
ing articles of the trade.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—lt is very desirable that the question should be
considered whether clergymen should be placed in the
Commission of the Peace. I reside in a parish consist-
tig of many thousand inhabitants; we have only one
clergyman to attend to the whole of the spiritual duties
of the parish, and, unfortunately, he is a county magis-
trate, delighting in quarter sessions and magisterial
meetings, to arrange county expenditure, as well as sit-
ting twice in the week to try cases of affiliation, assaults
with intent, &c., and all sorts of other cases. He bas a
thorough contempt for mere parochial duty, cur s'quently
the sick are unvisited, the education of the children
totally neglected, and the parish the abode of ignorance,
sottishness, and depravity. A.

THE EMPEROR OF CHINA AGAINST

THE WAR.

GREAT BATTLE BETWEEN THE PER-
SIAN AND BOMBAY CAVALRY.

The Admiral at Malta to the Secretary of the
Admiralty, 24th March, 1857.
(From Agent at Suez, 20th March, 1857.)

The Bombay brings no news of the Hindoostan.
The passengers reported that the night before
they left Bombay a telegraphic message was
received from Calcutta stating that the Em-
peror of China disapproves of the proceed-
ings of the Governor of Canton, and bad
given him orders to conciliate the English.

Also that a battle was fought on the Bth February,
about 40 miles from Bushire, between the Bombay
and Persian cavalry, which ended in the total
rout of the latter, with the, loss of 800 killed. The
loss on our side was 10 killed and 62 wounded.

KOENISBERG, MARCH 27.

The Hartung Gazette announces a diminution in
the Russian Customs Tariff. Woollens and cottons
are reduced by one-half ; ribbons of all kinds from
4 roubles to 2 roubles ; cloth from 1 rouble to
40 kopecks ; silk goods and printed silks remain at
4 roubles ; articles of linen are reduced from 60 to
35 per cent. ; linen cloth is increased by 25 per
cent.

COPENHAGEN, MARCH 27.

A note from France has been delivered to our
Government, proposing that the Holstein Lauen-
bourg dispute with the German Powers shall be
referred to a European Congress.

VIENNA, MARCH 27.

The Piedmontese Envoy, the Marquis Canton°
de Cevas, who is recalled by his Government, is
making preparations for his departure.

BERLIN, MARCH 27.

Advices from Konigsberg state that Russia has
reduced her Customs' tariff considerably.
The duty on cotton and woollen goods is to be
reduced one-half. The duty on silk is unchanged.
The duty on linen is raised.
London, England, 1857-03-28

AUSTRIA.

The Vienna Gazette states that the Emperor, in
an autogragph letter announcing to Count Frede-
rick de Thun his removal from his functions of ad
tatus to the civil administration of the Lombardo-
Venetian kingdom, expresses his high satisfaction
at the great services rendered to the crown by the
count in the above capacity.
It results from Vienna letters that Austria is now
in favour of a new diplomatic examination Of the
Holstein question, and is opposed to its being im-
mediately brought before the Frankfort Diet, as
was at firbt intended. _ _

Another Vienna letter, in the Bourse Ga-
my, coronation of the
zette of Berlin,
Emperor is again talked of in a rather positive
manner, but the rumour is still premature, as
the coronation cannot take place until all the pro-
-1 vincial statutes shall have been published and the
high hereditary officers of the different countries of
the Crown duly constituted. It is true, however,
that the ceremonial has been under consideration.
There will be only one coronation, which will take
place at Vienna, but all the countries of the Crown
will be there represented by special delegates."
The Cologne Gazette, under date of Vienna, 23d,
says :—" The statement that the construction of
the railway from Novara to Milan has been sus-
pended from political motives, is completely un-
founded. It is said, on the contrary, that, not-
withstanding the rupture of diplomatic relations,
both it and the other international works will not
experience any interruption."

PRUSSIA.
The Minister of Finance of Prussia has just pre-
sented to the Chamber of Deputies a return of the
public functionaries and Government employes,
with the amounts of their salaries. It appears
from this document that there are 35,724 with a
salary of 400 thalers (3fr. 75c. each) and under,
receiving together a total sum of 7,642,000 thalers ;
2,300 at from 400 to 500, 1,055,900; 4,500 at from
500 to 600, 2,437,000 ; 2,200 at from 600 to 700,
1,437,000 ; 3,100 at from 700 to 800, 2,377,000 :
798 at from 800 to 900, 672,000 ; 824 at from 900
to 1,000, 781,000; 1,996 at upwards of 1000,
2,576,000.

MONEY MARKET

CITY, Two'o'CLocK.
Accounts from Manchester describe business as
being interrupted by the elections, and in most of
the other manufacturing towns politics are also en-
grossing chief attention.
The Bank of England weekly Return is com-
pleted to the 21st inst., and in some respects is of
an encouraging character. It is true there has been
an increase in " other securities," with .a, slight
diminution in the notes unemployed ; but these
movements are partially explained by the advances
which are usually obtained at this period in antici-
pation of the dividends. When these are distributed
a large quantity of these loans will be paid off, and
a proportionate decline in the private securities will,
no doubt, take place. The private deposits are larger,
and the public deposits are now nearly nine mil-
lions, FO that the Chancellor will have ample funds
at his command to discharge the obligations of the
State which become clue at the end of the quarter.
Notwithstanding the extensive drain of gold from
the establishment, there is a slight increase in the
bullion, showing that money isTowing into Thread-
needle-street from various parts of the United King-
dom, and perhaps also from Constantinople. The
principal items, and the changes they present, are

FRANCE.

PARIS, FRIDAY.
A decree in the Moniteur promotes Baron
Rodier, councillor at the Court of Accounts, to the
rank of president at the same court, vice M. de
Gascq, who retires on a pension ; Baron Rodier is
succeeded by M. de Ohabrier, ex-director-general
of the Archives, whose appointment we have
already announced. By another decree M. Duflos,
councillor 2d class of the Court of Accounts, is pro-
moted to the lst class, vice M. de Vienne, who re-
tires on a pension ; and M. Barr; chef du cabinet
of the Minister of Finance, is nominated councillor
of the 2d class, vice M. Dulles.

The Moniteur says :—." Several foreign journals,
led away by party feeling, or deceived by malevo-
lent correspondents, have represented the proceed-
ings instituted against the Bishop of Moulins, be-
fore the Council of State, as the effect of political
rancour. It would be unworthy of the Govern-
ment of his Majesty to discuss such insinuations,
which are so contrary to its sentiments of modera-
tion and good faith. The truth—as the whole
of France knows—is that the prelate, against
whiim the proceedings have been directed for
abuse of power, has excited in his diocese by
his imprudent conduct the deepest sympathy, and
has thus compromised both the interests of re-
"igloo and thooo a,r pnblio order. The inhabitants
of the department of the Allier have remonstrated
against such conduct, and their representatives, the
highest and the most honourable, have not hesi-
tated to unite with them. The Emperor has him-
self received two petitions, signed by more than
3,000 inhabitants of Moulins alone, and these do-
cuments attest the serious differences which exist
between the bishop and his flock. The Govern-
ment, in presence of such serious complaints and
such reprehensible acts, had to fulfil a duty of sur-
veillance and protection. It has therefore made
use of the only means of protesting which is sanc-
tioned by the organic laws of France, at the same
time that it has represented the state of things be-
fore the Holy See. It has acted without passion
as well as without weakness."

UNIVERSITY BOAT-RACE.

This great aquatic event is to take place on Friday

been found exoedient to shift seine of the putters. The
following are the rowers as they now eit at their work

Young to write by the night's pos=t to the authorities at
Stamford. and state that it was his (Mr. E' itt's) wish
and de-ire that the body of the prisoner's mother, buried
there last May 1 months, should be at. once exhumed
and subjected to a regular medical inquiry, as then-
were very strong reasons to suspect that she came un-
fairly by her death.
It appeared that the deceased dined with her son (the
prisoner) on the Sunday, and was at once seized by ill-
ness, such as that produced by the administration of
arsenic, and died on the following Tuesday.
The prisoner's wife, as well as himself, is also remanded.

THE ATTACK ON CANTON.

A letter from St. Petersburg of the Bth, in the
Debats, says :

"The news of the attack on Canton by the Eng-
lish fleet has produced a considerable sensation
hero. It appears certain that depots of goods be-
longing to Russian merchants have been burnt,
and that their loss of property has been consider-
able. This act, which is perfectly unjustifiable,
and for which no serious motive can be assigned,
is regarded here as the prelude to the conquest
which the English propose to themselves to make
of the Island of Chusan. The Russian Government
is perfectly aware of the intentions of the English,
and of all the plans which they meditate in China,
and for which purpose they have been for some
years past very quietly increasing their naval force
on that station, until they have now a very formid-
able fleet there. All the intrigues carried on by
English agents with a view to ruin the important
commercial relations which the Russian merchants
carry on with China through the town of Kiachta
are well known at St. Petersburg. It does not
unfrequently happen that large quantities of tea
of the finest qualities thus imported by land into
Russia are purchased by English houses and sent
to London. It is well known with what jealousy
the English watch the progress of the Russian mi-
litary and commercial establishments on the river
Amur, where we already touch, by the south of Si-
beria for a distance of more than 400 kilometres
(250 miles), on the Chinese frontier. All the tri-
angle between that part of Siberia and the Amur,
and of which Nicolaieff has been designed by the
Emperor to be the new capital, may now be consi-
dered as definitively belonging to the Russian em-
pire. The intelligent men who were sent some
years ago into those distant countries have so well
secured Russian domination there that all commer-
cial affairs with the Chinese provinces may be said
to be exclusively in the hands of Russian mer-
chants. The anxiety of the English to dislodge
the Russians from these countries may be thus
readily conceived, but they will have the more
difficulty in effecting their purpose that the diffe-
rent Russian military establishments along the
Amur are becoming every day more and more
formidable. ` It may be also remembered that the
English made a fruitless attempt, in 1855, to
penetrate with their squadron into this river, the
mouth of which has been since so well fortified that
it would now cost immense efforts and sacrifices to
force this new Cronstadt with vessels of war."

BANK AMALGAMATION.
The Tipperary Free Press of yesterday announces
that by the authority of Government the Carrick-
ou-Suir, Clonmel, Thurles, and Cashel National
Banks of Ireland have now been amalgamated with
the National Bank, sn that those establishments
have merged into and become identical with that
society, and all the customers of those branches
will now have the security of the capital and the
liability of the National Bank for all their engage-
ments.

REVERSE OF FORTUNE.
A paragragh under this head, which appeared a
few weeks since, has had the effect of obtaining a
small appointment for poor ATI% F. P. Dwyer, for-
merly private secretary to the late Daniel O'Con-
nell. The salary is, indeed, trifling, but sufficient
to save him from the disgrace and misery of spend-
ing the remnant of his life as an inmate of one of
the Dublin workhouses.

A PUNISLIHENT FOR BURGLARS AND

ft OTTERS.

(From the Edinburgh Echo, of Jan. 10, 1729 )
This day Japhet Crooks alias Sir Peter Stranger
stood on the Pillory an hour at Charing-cross, after
which a chair was brought up, and he being seated
therein, the hangman, with a surgeons instru-
ment, somewhat resembling a sidle, cut off, pur-
suant to his sentence, one ear close to his head,
which he held •up for the view of an infinite
number of spectators, and while the surgeon was
dressing it, and stopping the blood, the other was
cut off, and held in the same manner, after which
the hangman with a pair of sizars slit up his nostrils
e
and seared them with a red hot iron
thoseg
e
operations none seemed to affect him in a;ny ofdre
like that of burning.

FATAL RAILWAY ACOMENT.—On Monday afternoon,
a little before 3 o'clock, a Lancashire and Yorkshire
Company's railway engine was standing at Sough sta-
tion, Over Darwen, with a ballast-train attached, while
another train was passing, when the boiler burst, forcing
out about a feot of the firebox, so as to knock the driver,
Daniell Green wood, off the engine. He was afterwards
found on the side of the line quite dead. The guard,
Henry Young, was also seriously scalded, and died a few
hours afterwards. The stoker was under the engine, and
escaped injury. Both of the unfortunate men were
members of the excellent insurance company in con-
nexion with the company, and the widow and two
children left by Greenwood will be entitled to 50/., while
the widow and two children of Iltinry Young will be
entitled to 37e.

frigate Coute Radetzky ; and Swedish corvette
Clapman, for the south.
The Peninsular and Oriental packet Alhambra,
with the outward mails of the 7th, only arrived at
Lisbon on the 4th at nightfall. She was obliged.
to put out to sea in consequence of a thick fog cal
Vigo, and a most terrific gale which blew on the
11th, and lasted nearly 48 hours, forced her to pro-
ceed to Lisbon without touching at Vigo or Oporto.
It was feared this stormy weather had caused many
disasters to shipping, and already telegraphic news
had been received that the steamer Queen, 1)-
Alaclereid, which left Lisbon on the 10th, had rail
on shore two miles south of Viana on the 12the
and at 4 a.m. vine of the crew were lost, but pall
of the cargo was likely to be saved.
Upon receipt of Admiralty despatches per

squadron in the Tagus to prepare for sea next dig
(the 16th), without waiting for the Shannon sr_
Princess Royal, which were expected to join Of
Admiral during his cruise. As the Thaganza lets

SPAIN.

MADRID, Jan. 19.—The insurgent band under
the brothers Hierros has presented its claims to
be included in the amnesty. The Gazette contains
a declaration to the effect that the most perfect
understanding prevails among the various members
of the government.

The Duke and Duchess de Montpensier were ex-
pected at Madrid, the duchess having expressed
the desire to pass part of the winter with the
Queen, her sister ; it was said that the Queen had
determined on accompanying her sister on her re-
turn to Andalusia, and on being present at the
ceremonies of the Holy Week at Seville, where
they are peculiarly splendid. The Countess de
Reuss, wife of General Prim, had resolved to go to
Toledo to share his captivity. The quantity of
wheat imported into Spain on account of the go-
vernment from the beginning of November to the
end of January was 328,720 bushels.
The Madrid journals of the 15th contain no.
thing of political interest. The Gazette contains a
royal decree which enacts that governors and
functionaries of provinces shall be formed into a
corps called "Civil Provincial Administration;"
that the salary of the Governor of Madrid shall
be 60,000 reals a-year ; and that of the governors
of other provinces, 40,000. The Gazette announces
that two other bishops, those of Tarragona and
Urgel, have sent addresses to the Queen thanking
her Majesty for what she has done for the Church.
