PRUSSIA.

The Bourse Gazette of Berlin says We have
received some information concerning the recent note
from Prince Gort,,chakoff to the Engtish Cabinet.
That note, which was delivered last week at Lou
don, and communicated to the friendly courts,
declares, as already stated, that Russia is willing
to support the demand of England relative to
the evacuation of Herat; but that she cannot ap-
prove of the other claims of the English Cabinet
the consequence of which would be to unduly
weaken and humiliate Persia ; and that she would
not on any condition allow England to obtain the
accomplishment of them by force. This communi-
cation comes to us from so good a source that no
doubt can exist as to its exactitude."

I am anxious to
all in my power to prevent, if possible,
this division of Leicestershire from being represented by a
noble lord who has, on all occasions, given his support to
Popery, I have resolved to resign my seat as one of your
members, and contest North Leicestershire with him. I
have been honoured with your confidence for eleven years,
and our connexion before the end of this week will be
brought to a close, but should I be elected to represent any
other constituency in Parliament, I think I may be able
in a variety of ways to support your interests, though I
may cease to be your member. It is a great satisfaction
to me to know that a young nobleman of great ability is
coming forward in my place as candidate for your suffrages,
who will give his support to our glorious Protestant consti-
tution in Church and State, and
do all in his power to ob-

The district of Brighton and Hove now represents a
considerable portion of the constituency, and a severe
contest between the present candidates, Viscount

sey and Mr. J. G. Dodson, to supply Mr.

NEW WRIT.

On the motion of Mr. HAYTER, a new writ was
ordered for Hereford, in the room of Sir It. Price,
Xart,, who has accepted the Chiltern Hundreds.

INCOME TAX

Numerous petitions were presented against the pre-
sent assessment of the income tax.
THE ADDRESS.

Lord Ernest Bruce, the Vice-Chamberlain, brought
up her Majesty's reply to the address in answer to the
Speech from the Throne.

CONVOCATION.

Mr. J. G. PHILLIMORE asked the First Lcord of
the Treasury whether it was intended to a'low the Con-
vocation for the province of Canterbury to sit for any
longer time ?
Sir G. GREY said that in the absence of the noble
lord from indisposition he would answer the question. It
was well known that Convocation met under a summons
of the Crown. They had no power to make canons or
to confer for that purpose without an express licence
from the Crown, and if any proceedings had taken place
it was without any authority from the Crown, and without
it they were invalid. The usual course was for Convo-
cation to meet for a few days, and then to be prorogued
by the Archbishop of Canterbury. It was the opinion
of Government that the sittings should not be prolonged
merely for the purpose of discussion—(hear)--and sup-
posing the Archbishop of Canterbury should fail to
adopt the usual course, it would be for the Government
to consider the matter and act theredn. (Hear, hear.)
WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.

Mr. L. DAVIES asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department, whether it was the intention of Go-
vernment to introduce a bill ; and, if so, when, making
it compulsory that weights and measures throughout
England and Wales should be uniform, the loss from
the inequality in the sale of corn alone being very great ?
Sir G. GREY raid that the law at present was suffi•
cient. The matter complained of arose from the magis-
trates, inspectors, and others connected with carrying
out the act, not taking the necessary measures for
doing so.

SWITZERLAND.

A letter from Berne, of the Ist, says :---
" A number of Royalists of Neuchatel left that
canton some time ago, to avoid being required to
serve in the army against Prussia, and took up
their residence at Morteau, a small town of the
department of the Doubs, on the road from Loci*
to Besancon, close to Switzerland. There they
were recently joined by some Royalists who have
been banisi ed from the canton, and also by
some of the Royalist prisoners set at liberty, but
who were required to leave Switzerland. A few •
days ago a banquet was got up at Morteau,
and a great many of the refugees of that place took
part in it, and at that banquet demonstrations
hostile to Switzerland were made by a large por-
tion of Ithe guests. In consequence, the Federal
Council, in compliance with the wish of the Go-
vernment of Neuchatel, has called on the French
Government, in energetic terms, to send all the
refugees into the interior of France, and it is not ,
doubted that the demand will be complied with."

HARBOURS OF REFUGE.

Lord RAXENSWORTH gave notice of his intention
to move for a select committee to consider the propriety
of establishing harbours of refuge on the north-east coast.
The Earl of CLANCARTY said that on Monday he
should put a question to her Majesty's Government whe-
ther it was their intention to introduce a bill to regulate
fairs and markets in Ireland.

Lord MONTEAGLE was understood to give notice
that on Monday he intended to move for the production
of the correspondence which had taken place rtlative to
the valuable collection of books that had been presented
by Lord Truro to the house.
CIIURCH DISCIPLINE.

Lord BROUGHAM inquired of the Lord Chancellor
whether it was his intention, in the bill he was about to
lay on the table on Church Discipline, to insert a clause
which would enable the Corcmittee of Privy Council to
ask the advice of the Episcopal Bench on matters affect-
ing ecclesiastical discipline._

The LORD CHANCELLOR said the bill which he
intended to introduce would contain a clause to that
effect.

Their lordships then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—(This Evening.)

The SPEAKER took the Chair at four o'clock.

The Sheriffs of London appoared at the bar, and pre-

L DON, FRIDAY, FEBIttrARY 6, 1867

to move for This day Sir G. C. LEWIS 13
a s led committee to inquire into the opera-
tion of the Bank Act of 1844 and the Bank
Acts of Ireland and Scotland of 1845—and
to inquire into the law relating to joint-stock
acts. We have already expressed our opinions
respecting such a course—have shown that it
could only be resorted to " for the purpose of
procrastination—of shelving the subjects until
the excitement occasioned by the
severe restric-
tions so prejudicial to all descriptions of industry
has subsided, and the nation, appeased by tem-
porary relief, may again endure such stringent
measures as the mischievous theories of the cur-
rency quacks may suggest." That we wire not
singular in this view of the ease appears from
what fell from the Earl of DERBY during the
debate on the Royal Speech. The noble Lord said,
" I trust her MAJESTY'S Government has made up
their minds as to the course which they intend to
recommend to Parliament--that they are not
going again to launch this important question

IS SMOIEINO INJURIOUS TO HEALTH ?—An interesting
discussion is now going on in the Lancet upon the
effects of smoking. The use of tobacco has during the
last half century greatly increased in England, and
has now become an almost universal practice. This
question, iu which the leading members of the medical
profession are taking part, must not only greatly in-
terest the public, but may very materially affect the
revenue of this country, when it is known that the
income derived from the consumption of tobacco was
last year upwards of 32,192,9431., the duty on which
was more than 5,220,000/. This return is independent
of cigars, which was about 150,0001. An able article
on the tobacco question appears in the Lancet of the
present week- by Mr. Soily, F.R.S., of St. Thomas's
Hospital, which will be read with interest by all inve-
terate smokers.

THE DANUBE.

The Siecle of yesterday contains tho followin.;
reflections on the opposition, said to 'be manifested
by Austria and the o her German States bathed by
the Danube, to the fre3 navigation of that river
We had thought that the treaty of Paris had

thrown open the Danube to the world, not only
for the benefit of Austrian comme ce, but also for
the commerce of the world. The Danube, which
is the chief artery of Central Europe, was not only
thrown open by the treaty of Pads, but it was, in
oar opinion, in ended by nature to Le a free river.
The German newspapers will not edmit this
they can understand a certain amount of freedom
hut not a universal or European freedom. They
would only throw open the river to the countries
it washes. We would fin regard this as an opi-
nion of isolated pol ici-tns ; but when we reflect
on the nature of German journals, we must not
allow the said opinion to pass without a protest.
in the prPs,,nce of the very clear wording of the
treaty of Paris, which says, 'the flags of all nazi .us
Will be placed o❑ an equal footing,' it is difficult to
understand how the German journals can suppose
that the nations of Europe gave themselves the
trouble to throw open the mouths of the Danube
under any other understanding than that they were
all to profit by it. Thole is something cynical and
odious in the pretensions of the German journals.
At a moment when nations are co-mingling, by
means of steam and rail, the efforts of old poli-
tical ideas are directe i to oppose the progress cf
civilisation and the general tendency of na-
tions. Moreover, Germany would gain more
from the free navigation of the Danube than from
the monopoly of Austria. It is not at the time
when budges over the Rhine are about to uni e
the railroads of France and Germany, that the
latter country should adopt an exclusive policy.
Austria is alone interested in the closing of •he
Danube. She has excited all the pre sent diffi-
culties in the hope of maintaining her monopoly.
But her plans for the enslavement of the great com-
mercial artery of Western Europe, will be exposed
and overthrown, in the same manner that her in-
trigues in -the Principalities have been baffled."

STATE OP TRADE.

Yarns and cloths continue firm, but the upward

tendency of prices is for the present at an end.
This is partly Owing to the easier state of the
Liverpool cotton-market, where the sales for this
week past have been on a moderate scale, with but
little business for speculati(m_and export. Great
firmness prevails in the cloth-market for all kinds
of heavy goods, such as domestics, long-cloths, and
T-cloths, and though there is less business in
these fabrics than of late, still a moderate demand
is reported. There is also some little business in

making provision for bad and doubtful debts, to be 108,475/. 155.; an 1

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 3d have arrived.
Rumours of changes in the ministry were again
current-, but they are decia,ecl by the minis-
tt=rial organs to be quite unfounded. M. Cortina
had terminated the pAmphl,,t for the defence of
Queen Christinn, which he was -some time
ago c' argel to draw up, and the belief is that
it will be published. Wheat had again under-
gone a heavy decline in the market of Madrid.
The departure of M. Lafragua, the Mexican
envoy, was considered a proof that his neg
tiations had ptodu-ed no result. The go-
vernment had r ceived information that some
inhabitants of Cuba had formed the project of
assisting the filibustsis in a coup-de-main, but
from the good spirit of the poptil,tion it re4arded
any such movement as without the slightest
chance of SUCCORS. The Count,ss de Montijo,
mother of the Empress, had given a grand tete to
the aristocracy of the capital, and the Caprice of
Alfred de Musset was performed at it by the
Duchess de Alba, her Majesty's Sister, and other
personages of distinction. The duchess and her
husband were about to leave for Paris. Prince
Wladimir, first aiti-de-camp to the EMperor of
Russia, had arrived in Madrid.

Accounts from Vienna state that the permanent
commission of the Elates bordering on the Danube
will resume its sittings very shortly, as the commis-
sioners of Bavaria and Wurtemburg have received
their instructions.

"We learn from good authority," says a letter
from Vienna in the Cologne Gazette, " that the
Empress is again in an interesting situation, and
th,t that circumstance is the only reason why she
will not accompany the Emperor in his visit to
Hungary."

M. Magne, Minister of Ynance, is charged With
the ad interim direction of the department of G,m-
merce and Public Works, during the absence of M.
Rouher.

M. Thouvenel, the French Ambassador at Cim-
stantinople, who had obtain leave of al sence io
return to France on family bu&ness, nit quit
his post until after the new elections in Moldavia.

the Cure of Indigestion and Disordered Stomachs.--
There 'are few remedies advocated by the Faculty that
are really serviceable in curing Indigestion and dis-
ordered stomachs, which causes a martyrdom to many
of the population in every country- The only remedy
for the extinction of this malady which can be safely re•
commended to both sexes and all ages is Holloway's
Pills. These are a certain cure, and a blessing to old
and young, restoring health and energy after all medi-
cal aid has been tried in vain.—Sold by all medicine

THAMES.

A boy named Thompson, only ten years cf age, was
placed at the bar charged with stealing a pair of boots
and a gown, the property s) his mother. On being asked
what he had to say in answer to the charge, the boy
said that he took the things and pawned them, and that
he should continue to steal ss long as he could, or as long
as he lived, if not sent to school. The mother of the
chill, on being called, said the boy was her son, worse
luck ; and as t) send him to school, she couldn't affird
the 2d. a-week. The magistrate said he was sorry there
was no reformatory to which he could send the child,
and he therefore sentenced lim to three months' impri-
sonment with hard labour.

a clause accidentally omitted, and the bill was afterwards
by consent read a third time and passed.
METROPOLITAN POLICE STATIONS, &c.,
BILL,

Mr. MASSEY moved the third reading of this bill.
Sir H. WILLOUGHBY asked if the bill would add
any charge to the c ,nsolidated fund ?
Mr. MASSEY. said it would not.

Mr. COX objected to the powers of the bill. By one
of the clauses the Commissioners of Police were em-
powered to raise 60 0001. for building and enlarging the
police stations of the metropolis, which he thought unne•
cessary. He could not consent to so large a sum being
taken from the pockets of the ratepayers.
Mr. MASSEY. said there would be no charge on the
consoli‘lated fund. The clause referred to gave the com-
missioners of police the power of mortgaging the rates
to raise that sam if required.
Mr. COX said that was what he objected to.
The bill was ultimately read a third time without a
division.
