RUSSIA.

The Nord of Brussels states in the reply of the
Cabinet of St. Petersburg to the circular despatch
of M. de Scheele Russia recommends Denmark to
display deference and conciliatory dispositions to-
wards the great German Powers, and engages her
to discuss the question with Germany in a direct
manner, without heightening the difficulties by any
intervention on the part of other parties. The
same journal states that, "according to explana-
tions given by the Danish Government, the major
portion of the proceeds of the funds derived from
the capitalisation of the Sound dues will be em-
ployed in paying off the two loans contracted in
London in 1849 and 1850, which prove a heavy
burden to the country."
A letter from St. Petersburg of the 31st ult. says :
—" A grand ball was given the night before last by
the Minister of Foreign Affairs, which was honoured
by the presence of the Emperor. The Prince of
Mecklenburg was likewise present. The Emperor.
conversed some time with Prince Gortschakoff, go-
vernor of the kingdom of Poland. A grand review
of the Imperial Guard took place yesterday in front
of the winter palace. The weather was very favour-
able for the evolutions, which attracted a large
crowd of spectators. The merchants of St. Peters-
burg have given an order to the sculptor Pimenoff
for a statue in white marble of the Emperor Nicho-
las, which will be placed in the grand ball of the
Exchange."

ITALY.

The Chamber of Deputies at Turin, in its sitting
of the 6th, passed a bill`to empower the govern-
ment to lend the ecclesiastical fund a sum of
751,000 fr. in order to enable it to pay the pensions
and subsidiei due to the clergy of the kingdom. The
ecclesiastical fund was created in consequence of the
suppression of the monasteries of the kingdom. ; it
entered into the possession of all the property
belonging to those establishments, to the net
amount of 1,470,734 fr. per annum, out of which
it had to pay pensions to the monks, &c. The
administrators of the fund have in the couve of
three years introduced considerable improvements
into the management of the lands entrusted to their
care, and increased the annual income by 167,000 f. ;
notwithstanding which the budget of 1857 still
showed a deficit of 748,500 fr., the net income being
2,508,960 fr., and the expenditure 3,267,508 fr. • It
was to supply this deficit that the bill in question
was brought in ; and it is further in contemplation
to unite the ecclesiastical fund administered with
the so-called Economato .Regio, or royal fund, for
ecclesiastical purposes.

THE SPEAKERSHIP.

The Right Hon. M. T. Baines has addressed
the following letter to the editor of the Times,
which we have much pleasure in copying :
Sir,—There are two points in your article o
this day on which I beg leave to say a word, as
they are calculated to create anxiety on the part
of my constituents and friends. The writer ap-
pears to be under the impression that my health is
now bad, and, moreover, that I have been visited
with an extraordinary infliction of shortsightedness.
As to the first I am sure my friends will be glad to
know that I wan never better in my life ; and, as
to the second, that with the aid of an ordinary pair
of shortsighted glasses I can see as well as any man.
The rest of the article is so courteous in its tone as
to deserve my best thanks, which I beg to offer
you accordingly.
I have the honour to be, Sir, yours faithfully,
M. T. BAINES.

.REPEESENTATION OF THE COUNTIES.
HEREFORDSHIRE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—In year clever article on the returns of the
counties you have entirely omitted Herefordshire,
whore the Liberals have achieved a great victory.
In 1852 Lord Bateman succeeded in ousting Mr.
Lewis, the Free-trader (Sir G. C. Lewis), by means
of his nominee and brother, Captain Hanbury.
Lord Bateman's father was a Whig ; but the lord
lieutenancy of the county becoming vacant just as
Lord Derby was Prime Minister, the young Lord
Bateman waited upon Lord Derby and proposed
net only to rat himself, but to eject Mr. Cornewall
Lewis from the county, and to return in his stead a
thick-and-thin Protectionist in the person of his
own brother, Captain Hanbury. The bargain was
struck. Lord Derby made Lord Bateman the
lord lieutenant, and Lord Bateman made his
brother a member for Herefordshire.
Since that time the county has felt its degrada-
tion in being a kind of nomination borough of
Shobdon Cout ; so last week the constituents
read Lord Bateman a lesson by ejecting his brother
and returning a Liberal in his stead by a majority
of 877!
The population is 115,000, the county registry
numbers 7,000.

SPAIN.

The Madrid -journals of the sth, which have
reached us in due course, contain nothing of inte-
rest. The Gazette publishes the bando (mentioned
yesterday) of the captain-general of Catalonia, sup-
pressing the charitable asso iations of workmen.
The captain-general, in the preamble of that docu-
ment, says that the " machinations of the enemies
of order, the necessity of putting an end to social
perturbations caused by perfidious instigators of
the working classes, and the refusal of workmen
to accept the employment offered them in manu-
factories," have rendered the step necessary.

consents ; necessity compels them to seek shelter,
and they must perforce accept the best within
their means of attainment. It is the wealthy who
remain apathetic and indifferent, while such scenes
are perceptible at their very thresholds—nay, more,
the State itself which tolerates such untoward events
that is culpable. The causes are easily to be
ascertained. There is a fearful dearth of accom-
modation suitable for the needy. The very im
provements that have taken place within the me-
tropolis—the sweeping away of " the rookeries"
and substitution of a higher class of dwellings,
have materially aggravated the matter. The
same numbers must still be provided for within
more limited space. The overcrowding is thus
rendered indispensable ; and we unhesitatingly
say that the sin, the shame, the disgrace, rest on
the Legislature, and not on the wretched victims !

There are many building regulations in ope-
ration. Why should there not be some main-
taining the proportion between the different
classes of dwellings The model lodging-houses
have been proved to be paying speculations ; and
if private enterprise cannot be directed into that
channel, why should not the Government enforce
the obligation on Corporations, authorising the
levying of special rates for the purpose ? It is in
vain to impose stringent regulations on keepers
of lodging-houses. These regulations will be habi-
tually disregarded. They cannot be maintained
while there are houseless wanderers grasping at
any shelter, however revolting the conditions un-
der which it may be offered. It is not of their
free will that the humbler classes plunge into such
atrocities. They cannot help themselves, and that
which at first shocked every feeling becomes from
habit less disgusting. How can gaols or houses of
correction exercise terrors for such persons ?
They will be better clothed, better fed, and far
better lodged than when at liberty. It would,
however, be infinitely cheaper for the taxpayers, to
expend a portion of the money now applied in the
punishment of crime to its prevention. If there
were more model lodging-houses for the labouring
population fewer prisons would be required.
The one might, in a great degree, replace the
other ! Surely the experiment is worth trying.
We cannot doubt that it would fulfil the most
sanguine expectations of its advocates.

DERBY SMITHFIELD.-APRIL 7.

The supply of fat beasts was large, and in good request,
but prices unaltered. The number of sheep less than of
late, the demand fist, and sales heavy, at high prices. Of
fat and store calves a large supply, and some left unsold.
Fat pigs few and better sold.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, APRIL 9. 4
A fair demand continues for most kinds of yarn
and cloth. Medium qualities of T-cloths, from 61b.
weight upwards, have been taken in large quan-
tities during the week, and stocks have been well
cleared. There is also more inquiry for longcloths
and low printers. Thera is a fair business in India
phivings and other fabrics, but less than might
have been expected. In most of these goods prices
are very firm. In yarns there is quite sufficient
bUsiness to keep prices steady, and spinners are
mostly free from stock, with prices rather in favour
of the seller. •

LEICESTER, APRIL 9.
The hosiery trade continuesf quiet, manufacturers,
generally speaking, only- proineing for immediate
wants, being averse to ereating'stock at the present
high rates of material.

NOTTINGHAM, APEIL 9.
The lace trade is more active, more particularly
for goods connected with the home trade. Busi-
ness, however, is by no means as brisk as it was
anticipated it would be, the season being a very
late one. After Easter the demand will, no doubt,
improve, and, as all departments are in a healthy
state, a‘ good trade is expected. The demand for
plain goods continues, and there is more doing in
fancy lae3s. Silk and cotton are still exceedingly

In hosiery th© trade is in a flourishing state, and
there are prospects of continued briskness.
Materials, both gins and yarns, are firm.

SPLENDID NUN TO AIISTBALIA.—TiIe 11;iy—aT—Kraii
AtearuAiu European accomplished a splendid run out to
Port Philip. She left the Needles at 1 a.m. on the 14th
Dee , and made "St. Vincent on the 24th at midnight,
beating the Simla by four hours ; she remained there five
days and four hours, leaving on the 30th, at 4 in the
r"rniii* From that place she experienced a succession
of light favourable winds and fine weather, never having
bad 'Occasion to take in a reef in her topsails, or furl a
topgallant sail. It is au extraordinary facif that in lat.
56 deg. S. she experienced a calm for seven days. She
made the land off Warrnarnbool at half-past 6 p.m. on
the 9th Feb. The distance she ran is 12,625 miles,
which khe performed in 1,276 hours or at the rate of
9 9-101 knots an hour. She was under steam for 1,005
hours, and consumed 1,700 tons of coal • and was under
sad only for 277 hours. Iler greatest run under steam
in the 24 hours was 317 knots, the only time she ever
exceeded 300 knots, her shortest being only 173; and the
greatest distance she performed under sail only being
249 knots, and the least 160.

AN INTELLIGENT CANDIDATE.

We pledge ourselves for the perfect accuracy of
the following statement fortnight ago, a
sporting gentleman, perfectly at home in the mys-
teries of the turf, and thoroughly conversant with
the state of matters at Tattersall's, but whose study
of theology had not been quite so close or exem-
plary, took a fancy to becoming a legislator. He
accordingly started for a well-known district of
burghs in Scotland. In the course of his canvass
he was sorely puzzled by a variety of questions
which constituents, "in the exercise of their con-
stitutional right," persist in putting to those who
solicit their suffrages. One day a question was
put to [this candidate which perplexed the aspirant
at senatorial distinction more than any that had
preceded it. The question was, "What is your
opinion of the Decalogue ?" He was, confounded
for the moment, but recovering his self-possession,
he turned to a friend behind, and whispered in his
ear, " What does that mean?" "I rather think,"
replied the candidate's friend, whose acquaintance
with divinity was on a par with his own, "I rather
think it means flogging in the army." The can-
didate's darkness being thus so readily and happily
enlightened, immediately turned round to the
elector who asked the question, and with an em-
phasis not to be described, said, in the hearing of
a number of the constituency, "I entirely di-ap-
prove of the Decalogue, and will never rest till I
see it abolished 1" This well-instructed aspirant at
legislative celebrity was successful on the day of
election, and will adorn the new Parliament which
meets on the 30th instant.—Morning Advertiser.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the sth, which have
reached us in due course, contain nothing of inte-
rest. °The Gazette publishes the bando,(mentioned
yesterday) of the captain-general of Catalonia, sup-
pressing the charitable assolations of workmen.
The captain-general, in the preamble of that docu-
ment, says that the "machinations of the enemies
of order, the necessity of putting an end to social
perturbations caused by perfidious instigators of
the working classes, and the refusal of workmen
to accept the employment offered them in manu-
factories," have rendered the step necessary.

consents ; necessity compels them to seek shelter,
and they must perforce accept the best within
their means of attainmeit. It is the wealthy who
remain apathetic and indifferent, while such scenes
are perceptible at their very thresholds—nay, more,
the State itsel f which to.erates such untoward events
that is culpable. Tie causes are easily to be
ascertained. There is a fearful dearth of accom-
modation suitable for the needy. The very im
provements that have taken place within the me-
tropolis—the sweeping away of " the rookeries"
and substitution of a higher class of dwellings,
have materially aggravated the matter. The
same numbers must still be provided for within
more limited space. The overcrowding is thus
rendered indispensable ; and we unhesitatingly
say that the sin, the shame, the disgrace, rest on
the Legislature, and not on the wretched victims!

There are many building regulations in ope-
ration. Why should there not be some main-
taining the proportion between the different
classes of dwellings I The model lodging-houses
have been proved to be paying speculations ; and
if private enterprise cannot be directed into that
channel, why should not the Government enforce
the obligation on Corporations, authorising the
levying of special rates for the purpose ? It is in
vain to impose stringent regulations on keepers
of lodging-houses. These regulations will be habi-
tually disregarded. They cannot be maintained
while there are houseless wanderers grasping at
any shelter, however revolting the conditions un-
der which it may be offered. It is not of their
free will that the humbler classes plunge into such
atrocities. They cannot help themselves, and that
which at first shocked every feeling becomes from
habit less disgusting. How can gaols or houses of
correction exercise terrors for such persons ?
They will be better clothed, better fed, and far
better lodged than when at liberty. It would,
however, be infinitely cheaper for the taxpayers, to
expend a portion of the money now applied in the
punishment of crime to its prevention. If there
were more model lodging-houses for the labouring
population fewer prisons would be required.
The one might, in a great degree, replace the
other ! Surely the experiment is worth trying.
We cannot doubt that it would fulfil the most
sanguine expectations of its advocates.

MONTENEGRO.

A Paris letter in the Independance of Brussels,
in speaking of the present efforts of Prince Danilo
to interest the great European powers in his favour,
says :
It has been attempted to throw doubt on the
question of the independence of Montenegro by
affirming that it has never been solemnly recog-
nised. That is quite true ; but, on the other hand,
nothing has ever taken place to invalidate that inde-
pendence, although many firings concur to establish
it. Thus, for instance, it is certain--Ist, that Mon-
tenegro never admitted the suzerainty of any mo-
narch; 2dly, that the Montenegrin chiefs have
never paid tribute ; 3dly, that Montenegro
was never occupied by the sovereigns of
any neighbouring nation ; and, 4thly, that nu-
merous treaties have been signed by the rulers of
Montenegro with the Porte. But treaties, it must
be remembered, are not signed with a vassal. On
this latter point it may perhaps be objected that
the Porte signed a treaty with the viceroy of Egypt.
Such was undoubtedly the fact ; but in tbat case
the respective qualities of the contracting parties
were carefully specified, one being designated the
sovereign, and the other a vassal. In the treaties
with the rulers of Montenegro—and such docu-
ments are numerous—nothing of the kind is to be
seen. The Montenegrin ruler always treats with
the pachas of the Iferzegowine and with the Porte
precisely as an independent sovereign would have
a right to do. It is from this peculiarity of posi-
tion that Prince Danilo has probably the best
chance of bringing his arrangements with the Porte
to a successful issue."

RUSSIA.

---
The Nora of Brussels states in the reply of the
Cabinet of St. Petersburg to the circular despatch
of M. de Scheele Russia recommends Denmark to
display deference and conciliatory dispositions to-
wards the great German Powers, and engages her
to discuss the question with Germany in a direct
manner, without heightening the difficulties by any
intervention on the part of other parties. The
same journal states that, " according to explana-
tions given by the Danish Government, the major
portion of the proceeds of the funds derived from
the capitalisation of the Sound dues will be em-
ployed in paying off the two loans contracted in
London in 1849 and 1850, which prove a heavy
burden to the country."
A letter from St. Petersburg of the 31st ult. says :
—" A grand ball was given the night before last by
the Minister of Foreign Affairs, which was honoured
by the presence of the Emperor. The Prince of
Mecklenburg was likewise present. The Emperor
conversed some time with Prince Gortschakoff, go-
vernor of the kingdom of Poland. A grand review
of the Imperial Guard took place yesterday/xi front
of the winter palace. The weather was very favour-
able for the evolutions, which attracted a large
crowd of spectators. The merchants of St. Peters-
burg have given an order to the sculptor Pimenoff
for a statue in white marble of the Emperor Nicho-
las, which will be placed in the grand hall of the
Exchange."

THE SPEAKERSHIP.

The Right Hon. M. T. Baines has addressed
the following letter to the editor of the Times,
which we have much pleasure in copying :

Sir,—There are two points in your article o
this day on which I beg leave to say a word, as
they are calculated to create anxiety on the part
of my constituents and friends. The writer ap-
pears to be under the impression that my health is
now bad, and, moreover, that I have been visited
with an extraordinary infliction of shortsightedness.
As to the first I am sure my friends will be glad to
know that I was never better in my life ; and, as
to the second, that with the aid of an ordinary pair
of shortsighted glasses I can see as well as any man.
The rest of the article is so courteous in its tone as
to deserve my best thanks, which I beg to offer
you accordingly.
I have the honour to be, Sir, yours faithfully,
M. T. BAINES.

THE ,AUSTRALIAN MAILS.

SOUTHAMPTON, APRIL 9.
The European and Australian Company's steam-
ship Jura, Captain E. R. MoJdie, arrived here this
morning with the Australian mails received at Suez
per Sitnla, and thence conveyed overland to Alex-
andria. She left that port on the 28th ult., and
Malta on the Ist of April.
The Jura brings 15 first-class and 14 second-class
passengers, and on freight 21 packages of specie,
value 84,7171., one package of gold coin, value
1,1001., 630 bales of cotton, wool, &c., and 50 mis-
cellaneous parcels.
On the .31st of March, in lat. 35 35, long. 16, the
Jura spoke the bark Circassian, bound to the north-
west ; and on the 7th of April in lat. 44 25, long.
8 42, the screw steamer Albania.

We received per Jura files of papers from Sydney
to February the 10th, and. Melbourne the 14th,
but they contain no news beyond that already pub-
lished, received two or three days since via Mar-
seilles. •

The company's steamer European, Captain Par-
fitt, arrived rout at Melbourne on Feb. the 10th,
in 58 days from Southampton, and sailed for Syd-
ney on the following day.
After lauding her mails, passengers, specie, and
part of the cargo at Southampton, the Jura left
this afternoon for Liverpool, to discharge the cotton
and wcol she has on board and take in cargo for
the next outward voyage, this course being adopted
on account of the heavy charges on the transit of
goods levied by the South-Western Railway Com-
pany, whose true interests would be served by a
reduction of their rates to a minimum scale, so as
to induce a larger accession of business to this port.
The next outward mails for Australia, &c., will
be taken by the Etna, Captain Millar, which leaves
this on Sunday, the 12th inst.

COLLISION ON THE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY.--Yester-
day (Monday) morning, a special train which left Lanark
at ten o'clock—carrying the state of the poll to Glasgow,
and some gentlemen who intended to record their votes
—overtook a mineral engine near Overton station. The
train was proceeding at nearly full speed, and neither
the drivers nor stokers of either engine observed the
danger until a moment before the collision took place.
The guard, driver, and stoker of the special train were
injured, but not seriously. Two passengers also were
injured—one of them having two of his teeth knocked
down his throat. We hope that the circumstances at
tending the occurrence will be properly inveetigated,
