BELLIGERENT RIGHTS AT SEA

Mr. HORSFALL asked the Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs, whether any steps had been taken by her
Majesty's Government with the view of carrying out the
recommendations of the Shipping Committee of last year,
on the subject of belligerent rights at sea ?
Lord J. RUSSELL, who was imperfectly heard, was
understood to say that it had not been advisable to adopt
the recommendation of the committee in question. When
the matter was under discussion the American Govern-
ment had been communicated with by the Government of
this country. However, the negociations were not satis-
factorily terminated, and the American Government re-
quested that this subject would, be suspended for the pre-
sent. The noble lord said there were difficulties which
could not be surmounted in carrying out the recommenda-
tions of the committee, and was proceeding to enter upon
some explanations, when
Mr. BRIGHT rose to order. He did not consider it
was competent for the noble lord to enter into an explana-
tion in answer to a question, when an opportunity would
not be afforded to hon. members who might differ from the
noble lord of stating their views in reply to his statements.
The SPEAKER saiditwasusual to allowgreater latitude
to a Minister of the Crown than to a private member.
(Hear, hear.)
Lord J. RUSSELL said that the committee had made
their recommendation in very positive terms, and the ex-
planation which he had been about to make to the house
when he was iaterrupted by the hon. member for Birming-
ham would show the reasons which induced the
Government to refuse the suggestions of the com-
mittee in reference to this subject. They considered that
this was a question which affected the whole maritime
power of this country, and he thonght that no Minister of
the Crown ought to take any step; in respect to it without
the gravest consideration. (Hear, hear.)

DR. KAHN on MARRIAGE.—A new and
entirely re-written Edition (the 4bth) of this celebrated
Treatise, with new Steel Plates, Woodcuts, ac., is now ready.
The object of the work is not to maintain any particular
hypothesis, but to enable every one to understand for himself
the structure and functions of the organs concerned in the
fulfilment of the physical obligations of the married state;
to acquaint him with the consequences arising from excesses ;
to prevent unnecessary misapprehension from unfounded
fears, and to indicate, when those fears are well founded, the
means of speedy relief. The work is not crowded with the
technicalities of ordinary professional books, nor does it pre-
sent the crudeness which characterises the so-called "popular
works" on the subject.

RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg, dated February
10, says :

" The moment is close at hand, and I am happy
to announce it, when the emancipation of the serfs
will be an accomplished fact. The proclamation
will be issued on the 3d of March next, the anni-
versary of the advent to the throne of Alexander
11., whose reign will be for ever illustrated by this
measure of social justice.

" Thus more than 20,000,000 of Christian souls
will at one and the same hour have ceased to be a
property. Yesterday a solemn sitting of the Council
of the Empire was held on the subject, and much
curiosity and anxiety prevailed to know what it
would lead to. There were a thousand different
rumours this morning, but during the day well in-
formed persons have assured me that the date I have
above given is that fixed for the act of liberation.
The emotion created by this news throughout the
-hipire is immense. Since writing the above, I
have received the following from so high a quarter
that I can guarantee the exactitude thereof with-
out reserve :

"'The Council met at 11 a.m., under the presi-
dency. of the Emperor. The sitting lasted till
half-past 6in the evening. The first 14 articles of
the project presented by the high central Com-
mittee were discussed.

"The Emperor addressed the members of the
Council, requesting them to speak their minds
plainly and without reserve, and declared him wish
that all might be terminated on the 3d of March.
He said he should not preside again at the Council,
but should be informed daily of their decisions.
" The Grand Duke Constantine, General Gaga-
rine, M. Mouravieff, and General Ignatieff also
addressed the Council.

" The first 14 articles contain only a summary of
principles. The discussion, though lively, has as
yet only led to one alteration in the project, the
annullation of the ' Volostny pravlenie,' agency,
communal direction, the members of which were
to be elected by the peasants, a power which is to
be replaced by the organisation of a signorial magis-
trature.

" The next sitting is fixed for Monday, and the
Council will meet four times a week."

ALARMING FIRES.—Yesterday morning, at a few
minutes past 3 o'clock, a fire of a very alarming character
broke out on the premises belonging to Mr. Knox, an wider-
taker and auction-room proprietor, carrying on business in
Russell-place, Dover-road, Borough. The outbreak com-
menced in a brick building, two floors high and over 50
feet long, used as auction-rooms and haylofts. A number
of persons, including several police officers, rushed into the
blazing building, and fortunately succeeded in saving a
great number of hearses, ramming coaches, horses, and
ladders, which were taken to a distant place forfety.
safety.
The firemen were unable to extinguish the fire until the,
premises were extensively damaged, and part of the roof
destroyed.

chants, of Paris, whose suspension was announced last

The suspension is announced of Messrs. Scarlato

lished since 1842 at. Manchester, with liabilities of about

There was a full average time of year supply of foreign
stock on offer in our market, to-day, in, for the most part,
good saleable condition. Sales progressed slowly, and prices
had a drooping tendency.

The arrivals of beasts,' fresh up from our own grazing
districts, were seasonably good, and of full average quality.
Although the attendance of buyers was somewhat nume-
rous, the beef trade was in a very sluggish state, at prices
barely equal to Monday last. However, the firmest Scots
and crosses realised 4s 10d per 81bs.

rT Norfolk, giiffolli, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 1,400 Scots, crosses, and short horns; from other
parts of England, 1,000 various breeds ; and from Scotland,
130 Scots and crosses.

We had a full average number of sheep in the pens, and
most breeds came to hand in very middling condition. The
mutton trade was heavy, and prices gave way from 2d to
4d per 81bs. The top figure-for the best Downs was 5s 10d
per 81bs. ,There were•*b4tit 300 eliorn sheep-Tit th-b- market,
and which sold at is per 81bs beneath those in the wool.
The lamb trade has not yet fairly commenced.
Calves were in short supply, and fair request, at full
prices. The primest veal realised 5s 8d per 81bs.
Although the supply of pigs was not to say extensive ;
the pork trade ruled heavy, at barely last week's quotations

SEEDS.

Linseed commands a fair sale at the late decline in the
quotations to ls. per quarter advance; but all other seeds
are a dull inquiry, at last week's currency. Cakes are
rather firmer, but without change in value.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Guildhall, before the
Lord Chief Justice and a Special Jury.
FENNELL V. FORD AND ANOTHER.

Mr. Hawkins, Q. C., Mr. Prentice, and Mr. Brandt
were for the plaintiff; Mr. Phinn, Q.C., and Mr.
Garth for the defendants. _

The plaintiff is the husband of a lady well
known in the musical world as Madame Dotti
(Dotti being her maiden name), and he sued the
executors of a gentleman named 'Woodburn for
the amount due to her for attending and singing
to his friends on several occasions at Brighton and
in London.

On Madame Dotti being placed in the witness-
box she expressed her inability to give her evidence
in English; and after some discussion a great
portion of her examination was conducted in the
following manner :—She was examined in chief
by Mr. Brandt, and cross-examined by Mr. Phinn,
in the French language ; her answers were taken
by the learned judge and translated by him to
the jury. It seems that in the early part of last
year Madame Dotti was giving lessons in singing
to Mr. Turner, the proprietor of a first-class
boarding-house at Brighton. One evening in
February she was requested by Mr. Turner to
sing something in the presence of the inmates of.
German-house (the establishment in question),
among whom was Mr. Woodburn, a rich, liberal,
and somewhat eccentric old gentleman. He was
pleased with the performance, and asked Mr. Tur-
ner what her terms were for singing at private
parties. He told him that he did not know, and
the next day Mr. Woodburn called on her, and on
her telling him that 10 guineas per evening were

CORN EXCHANGE.

The demand for wheat in most of the country markets
held on Saturday was far from active ; nevertheless, very
little change took place in prices. Fine barley, oats, and
flour were firm; but other produce commanded very little
attention.

Throughout the Continent a fair average business has
been passing in wheat, and all spring corn has commanded
very full prices. In the United States both wheat and
flour have ruled about stationary.

Up to our market last week the arrivals of English pro-
duce trifling. The imports from abroad were 9,610 quar-
ters of wheat, 9,280 barley, 12,494 oats, 1,991 beans, 2,815
tares, 2,409 linseed, 2,600 rapeseed, 70 sundry, and 280
sacks of flour.

The arrivals of wheat, both from Essex and Kent, to
this morning's market were very moderate, and the gen-
eral quality of the samples was decidedly inferior. Really
fine dry qualities changed hands without difficulty at the
full prises of this day se'nnight; otherwise, the trade
ruled dull, but without leading to any quotable alteration
in the quotations current on Monday last.
The show of foreign wheat was rather extensive. On
the whole, a fair business was transacted, but, for the
most part, in good and fine qualities, and last week's
currency was well maintained.

There was less doing in floating cargoes. Prices, how-
ever, ruled steady.
For malting barley there was a fair, but far from active,
inquiry, at full quotations. Other kinds, although in some-
what limited request, were firm in price.
The malt trade was heavy, yet factors refused to accept
lower rates.

Oats changed hands chiefly in retail, owing to the want
of supply at late quotations.

Beans realised full prices, but the demand for them was

far from active.

Grey peas were scarce, and sold at extreme quotations.
Other descriptions moved off steadily on former terms.
All kinds of flour were held at fully previous rates
Buyers, however, only purchased to meet actual require-
ments.

Mr. Alderman SALOMONS moved for a return of the

appropriation of the whole or any part of the sum voted last
session "in aid of local assessments for the relief of the
poor on certain descriptions of Government property,"
specifying the amount paid in each district.—Ordered.
ADMINISTRATION OF NAVAL AFFAIRS.
Sir J. PAKINGTON said he rose to make an explana-
tion personal to himself and an honourable member of the
house. On Friday evening, when the house was breaking
up, he had a conversation with his noble friend the Secretary
of the Admiralty (Lord C. Paget), and he was informed that
the hon. and gallant admiral the member for the East Rid-
ing intended to bring the subject of the administration of
naval affairs before the house. When he gave notice of
his motion he was not aware of the fact, and nothing was
further from his intention than to act with discourtesy to
any member of that house. He would therefore be only
too happy to take such a course as would enable the hon.
and gallant admiral to bring forward the question, and
move for the appointment of a committee. The question
was one of the greatest importance, but it was a matter of
no moment to the public by whom the question was
brought under discussion. He hoped that no further time
would be lost in bringing the question forward.
IRON FOR RAILWAYS.
General UPTON asked the President of the Board of
Trade to inform the house whether the railway companies
of the United Kingdom are careful that the best malleable
iron shall be used invariably in the construction of the
wheels, tires, and axles of the carriages, trucks, and loco-
motives on their respective lines.
Mr. M. GIBSON said that the Board of Trade could not
at present furnish the information required, but a report had
been presented by Capt. Tyler on the subject, which
would probably be all the information required, and would
shortly be laid on the table.
RED SEA TELEGRAPH, &c.
Gen. UPTON asked the Secretary to the Treasury if all
means had been taken by the official director of electric
telegraph companies—himself one of the ex officio directors
of the Red Sea Telegraph Company—to insure complete
and uninterrupted insulat►on in the Red Sea telegraph cable
by an efficient and continuous testing of the cable during
the process of its manufacture ?
Mr. F. PEEL said that, the testing in question had been
efficiently performed by the servants of the company.
BARRACK MASTERS,
Colonel DUNNE asked the Under Secretary of State
for War whether the Government had lately come to a
decision on the subject of retiring allowances to barrack-
masters, as promised last session ?
,Mr. BARING said that two years ago the Government
pledged themselves to consider this question relative to
barrack masters, and certain alteration cia were made reapect-

THE NAVY.

Tb e Coquette, 4, screw, having just completed a
v( extensive repair to hull and machinery, more
es per ially the former, steamed out of Portsmouth
lAA iour on Friday to test boilers and machinery.
..At ' the conclusion of the trial she returned into
ha) hour and berthed alongside the north part of the
ya rd, where she took in her waist anchors, and
w' ill commence receiving her stores from the steam
v :serve.

The defects of the screw steamships Conqueror,
I tOl, Capt. Edward S. Sotheby, C.B. ; Hero, 91
• Capt. Ryder, and Centurion, 80, Capt. H. Rogers,
at Plymouth, have been made good.
The screw steam gunvessel Penguin, 5, tender to
11* be screw steam frigate Narcissus, 51, Capt. Risk,
Hamoaze, is nearly manned.
The paddlewheel steam sloop Geyser, 6, Com-
mander Jackson, having embarked supernumeraries
from the reserve depot ship Royal Adelaide, 104,
Capt. Wiliam K. Hall, C. 8., and volunteers for
the Pri'acess Royal, 91, left Plymouth on Saturday
for Portsmouth.

The Dart, 5, and the Sparrow, 5, screw despatch
gun vessels, each of 80-horse power, have arrived
at Chatham from Woolwich, under their own steam,
and joined the steam reserve ordinary under the
command of Capt. C. F. Schomberg.
The Lords of the Admiralty have awarded Mr.
T. Daines and Mr. T. Coast, for many years inspec-
tors of the old dockyard police force at Chatham,
the former a pension of £56 135., and the latter
155 per annum. The police-constables who be-
longed to the dockyard police on the occasion of its
being broken up and the A division of the metropo-
litan police placed on duty at the dockyard have
been awarded pensions varying in amount from
£lO to X 32 per annum, according to their length
of service. Those police-constables whose term of
service was insufficient to entitle them to a pension
have been awarded gratuities of from £lO to £4O.
The Lords of the Admiralty have decided on
making several improvements at Chatham Dock-
yard, for which purpose the sum of £35,000 has been
taken in the estimates, in addition to the large
sum previously voted by Parliament. Of this sum
£15,000 will be expended in the extension and im-
provement of the yard by means of convict labour
alone ; £13,000 for the erection of new machinery;
£2,000 for the improvement of the harbour; £l,OOO
for a new caisson for the entrance to No. 2 Dock,
in which the iron-plated screw steamer is to be
built ; besides other sums for the embankment of
the Medway, the erection of an additional iron
foundry, the erection of a lock up at the police
station, and other works.

The following appointments were made on Satur-
day at the Admiralty :—The Rev. John H. Knapp,
chaplain and naval instructor to the Princess Royal;
the Rev. John L. Moore, chaplain and naval in-
structor to the London; John Flintoff, Wm. H,
Keats, and James Petts, acting 3d-class assist.-
engineers to the Asia, as supernumeraries ; and
James Bradley, acting assist.-surg., additional, to
the Nile.

FRANCE.

The following are some details of the fete given
by the Prince Imperial at tne Tuileries, two days
back, to the enfants de troupe of the Ist division of
infantry of the Imperial Guard :
" The children, all of whom were in full uniform,
with knapsack and muskets, were drawn up in a
line in the courtyard of the palace; and General
Mellinet, who was in plain clothes, passed them in

review. As the General was so occupied, the
Prince Imperial, who was at one of the windows of
the palace, manifested his delight by clapping his
hands. A few seconds after, the Emperor, leading
the Prince by the hand, came out, and their pre-
sence was greeted by the beating of drums and the
acclamations of the little soldiers. Marshal Regnault
de Saint-Jean-d'Angely, and some aides-de-camp,
were in attendance on his Majesty. The Prince was
in uniform, with a sword; but at his request,
his musket and knapsack were brought from the
palace, in order to be like the others. The Emperor
and the Prince then passed down the line and the
children proceeded to execute various movements,
the bayonet exercise, etc., afid in all they displayed
remarkable precision and skill. Whilst these
movements were going on, the Empress appeared,
and her Majesty regarded alternately with marked
interest both the little soldiers and her son. As
soon as the exercises were over, the children piled
arms; the Imperial Prince placing his musket with
the others. After some repose, the enfants de troupe
were formed into a column, and filed off before the
Emperor and the Prince, raising loud cries of
Vive rEmpereur ! Vive l'lmperatrice ! Vivo le
Prince Imperial.'
"They were then invited by the Prince to a col-
lation which had been prepared in the palace, he
taking two of them by the hand to show the way.
After the feast, the children marched off with drums
beating and fifes playing."

THE LAST DAYS AT GAETA.

The lioniteur publishes the following:—
"A private despatch has announced the arrival
at Rome, on the 14th inst., of the King and Queen
of Naples. They are accompanied by the King's
brothers, and by General Bosco, who has been
appointed Gentleman of the Chamber. M. Casella
has remained at Gaeta to settle all matters concern-
ing the surrender of the fortress.

" Their Majesties alighted at the Palace of the
Quirinal, where his Holiness Pope Pius IX. paid
them a visit on the 15th.

"It appears that the bombardment on the 11th
and 12th was of extreme violence. The explosion
of the powder magazines had rendered the rifled
cannon useless ; but the fortress still replied with
the other guns. The Neapolitan artillerymen dis-
played the greatest bravery; twice they silenced
the guns of the Batterie de Capucins.
" On the 13th, although negotiations had been
partially opened, the bombardment continued with
the same violence; two batteries of the fortress
were demolished, and then the capitulation was
signed. It was the fortress that fired the last
cannon shot. It appears that from the demand to
surrender to the moment the capitulation was
signed the Piedmontese threw 50,000 shells into
the fortress.

"On the 14th the Sardinian troops occupied
one-half of the town at 8 a.m. At the same time
the Queen, the Princes, the Royal Household, and
the Foreign Ministers embarked on board La
Mouette. The King passed the Neapolitan troops
in review, who wept as they presented arms to
him. An immense crowd was assembled, and the
population shed tears. The King was very pale
from emotion. Royal honours were paid to
Francis 11. embarking' on board La Mouette. As
the ve3sel left a salute of 21 guns was fired and
the flags were lowered from the batteries, while
the garrison shouted Long live the King !'
though in presence of the Piedmontese, already in
possession."

played the greatest bravery; twice they silenced
the guns of the Batterie de Capucins.
" On the 13th, although negociations had been
partially opened, the bombardment continued with
the same violence; two batteries of the fortress
were demolished, and then the capitulation was
signed. It was the fortress that fired the last
cannon shot. It appears that from the demand to
surrender to the moment the capitulation was
signed the Piedmontese threw 50,000 shells into
the fortress.

"On the 14th the Sardinian troops occupied
one-half of the town at 8 a.m. At the same time
the Queen, the Princes, the Royal Household, and
the Foreign Ministers embarked on board La
Mouette. The King passed the Neapolitan troops
in review, who wept as they presented arms to
him. An immense crowd was assembled, and the
population she.i tears. The King was very pale
from emotion. Royal honours were paid to
Francis 11. embarking on board La Mouette. As
the vessel left a salute of 21 guns was fired and
the flags were lowered from the batteries, while
the garrison shouted Long live the King !'
though in presence of the Piedmontese, already in
possession."
