LORD GOUGH.

The Hon. Directors of the East India Company
have lost no time in bidding welcome to that gallant
commander, Lord Gough, on his return to this
country. Already it has been determined to cele-
brate the event by giving a grand banquet to his
Lordship at the London Tavern, at which all the
Cabinet Ministers and a distinguished circle of guests
will be present. The 23d of March is the day fixed
for this entertainment.
The Noble and Gallant Lord left his son's resi-
dence, in tipper Brook-street, at an early hour yester-
day morning, and proceeded to the East India House
for the purpose of having an interview with the chair-
man of the company. Sir Archibald Galloway
crossed the Noble Lord on his way into the City,
and was himself at the residence of Captain Gough
before eleven o'clock, in order to pay his respects to
the noble and gallant veteran. Sir Archibald after-
wards met Lord Gough at the India House, and had a
long conference with his Lordship. Viscount Har-
dinge was one of the earliest to pay his respects to
his noble companion in arms, having called at his re-
sidence at half-past ten o'clock for that purpose.
The Noble Viscount accompanied Sir Archibald
into the City, and there, for the first time, met the
brave old general, by whom he was greeted with
all the sincerity of the heartiest friendship. Lord
Gough, on returning home, left his card at Apsley
House for the Duke of Wellington, who is at present
at Stratbfieldsaye.

A great many members of the nobility and gentry
made complimentary calls on Lord Gough yesterday,
and entered their names in his Lordship's visiting
book.

The members of the United Service Club have an-
nounced their intention of entertaining the Noble and
Gallant Lord upon an earlyday, and the list of guests
is already more than full.
The Goldsmiths' Company intend to confer the
freedom of their ancient guild upon his Lordship, and
a magnificent entertainment will be given to the gal-
lant veteran at their ball on the occasion of its presen-
tation.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY
The quantity of English Wheat on sale in to-day's
market was very moderate, ytt it exceeded the wants of
the millers. Really fine parcels sold slowly, at Monday's
pricer, but the middling and inferior were, in some in-
stances, offered on rather lower terms. No foreign Wheat
hascome to h and this week, but several cargoes are reported
off the coast. The transactions in that grain were
trifling, at barely stationary prices. Very little foreign
Barley was on show, but the supply of English was ex-
tensive. Fine p ircels for seed ruled tolerably firm, at
full rates of currency; but all other kinds were neglected.
Malt was i❑ good supply and beary inquiry, en lower
terms. Good sound Oats were scarce, and quite as drat.
The inferior kinds ruled heavy. Beans, Peas, Indian
Corn, and Flour were dull in the extreme.

MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED.WIFE'S SISTER.
THE INDEPENDENT BOARD.
AT a MEETING, specially convened and held on
Tuesday, the 19th of February, 1850, at the King's Head,
Poultry, it was resolved unanimously :-
Ist. That in the judgment of this Board there is no reason either
In Holy Scripture or in sound morals against "a Widower marrying
his Deceased Wife's Sister or Niece," that they therefore deprecate
any legal provisions on the subject, and especially they object to the
present state of the law in relation to it as at once most unwise, en-
snaring, and unjust.
2d. That this Board do forthwith petition Parliament on this sub-
ject, and that they earnestly recommend that petitions should be pre-
pared and forwarded from the several congregations with which they
are connected.

TURKEY.

Letters of the sth from Constantinople announce
that Count STURMEB had received instructions from
his Government to renew intercourse with the PORTE,
in consequence of which he had had several interviews
with Air Pecua , but these had not produced any
decisive result. Count STURMER proposed fifteen
years' detention in the interior as a punishment for
the refugees, but the PonTE, although the demand of
the Internuncio gradually sank to five years, would
net hear of his proposal. Hence the matter has once
more to be referred to Vienna.

GERMANY.

Accounts from Vienna state that HAYNATT has
called out the former Mobile and National Guards
of Presburgh and Pesth, for the purpose of raising a
forced levy of 24,000 men. Large numbers of Hun-
garian fugitives have fled to Bosnia, and are treated
with great kindness by the Turks.
The Kolner Zeitung has a telegraphic dispatch
from Berlin, of the 25th, stating that the First
Chamber had adopted, in that day's sitting, the re-
solution of the Second Chamber relative to the tax
on beet-root sugar. The law relative to the pro-
vinces and the relations with Posen were then pro-
ceeded with. The Chamber was to hold an evening
sitting.
The Second Chamber had elected the State Debt
Commission. Deputies PORCHAMMER, GEPPERT, and
GAMES were chosen.

President VoLLriACwr was to proceed on the 26th
inst. on his mission as Commissioner to the Duchies,
in consequence of which the Council would hold a
most important deliberation. Among the Commis-
sioners appointed to arrange matters with the Diet
are VOLLPRACRT, SEEBECEI, Von BODELBCLIWINGH,
and BLOMER.

The men accused of assassinating Prince Licn-
fiowsm have been acquitted, as have those accused of
attempting the life of the Prince of PRUSSIA.

SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.

REFUSAL OF PRUSSIA TO RENEW THE

ARMISTICE.

BERLIN, FEB. 23.—Prussia has refused to renew
the armistice with Denmark for six months, on the
ground that she cannot countenance the continuance
of a Provisional Government in the Duchy of Schles-
wig, which is entirely paralysed by the universal
resistance of the people, whose acts are in direct op-
position with the reasonable wishes of the people, and
whose administration cannot be defended by any prin-
ciple of political or moral right.
There is little reason to be alarmed at this news.
The war will certainly not be renewed between
Prussia and Denmark or Germany and Denmark. It
may, however, be renewed between Schleswig-Hol-
stein and Denmark. However deplorable the last
result may be, British commerce will be affected in a
very different degree from what it was during the
blockade of the German ports.
The armistice runs on of itself indefinitively ; but
denunciation on either side renews the war in six
weeks. The consequence of Prussia's declaration
will be the breaking up of the Administrative Com-
mission in the Duchy of Schleswig. Count EULER..
BURG will retire, and then, of course, Colonel HODGES
and Count Tirxiscu will follow.

in the Clerkenwell County Court, where the creditor
(Mr. Blagdon, a cornchandler in Goswell-street) pleaded
a se:..off, and the judge refused to entertain the set-off,
because it exceeded 201.
Mr. Commissioner LAW expressed himsa in strong
terms, thatl a man could not be allowed a sot-off to
the extent of his debt, though it in the whole exceeded
204 Such a practice, in his opinion, was absurd and
unjust.
Mr. STURGEON said that county courts would not di-
vide a debt. It a set-.•ff exceeded 201. it could not be
received.
His HONOUR thought that such a d, termination should
be made known. It would te a caution to one
man who had 1001. owing to him employing the same
person to do a few pounds' work.
It appeared that Mr. Blagdon was obliged to sue the
insolvent to prevent his execution from taking effect, and
his costs, were 7Z 7s. The other creditors complained of
the insolvent's conduct to them.
Mr. Commissioner LAW thought it wag a case for the
discretionary clause, and remanded the insolvent for six
months.

MARKET NE WS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
The quantity of English Wheat on saki in to-day's
market was very moderate, yet it exceeded the wants of
the millers. Really fine parcels sold slowly, at Monday's
prices, but the middling and inferior were, in some in-
stances, offered on rather lower terms. No foreign Wheat
hascome to h and this week, but several cargoes are reported
off the coast. Tho transactions in that grain were
trifling, at barely stationary prices. Very little foreign
Barley was on show, but the supply of E❑glish was ex-
tensive. Fine parcels for seed ruled tolerably firm, at
full rates of currency; but all other kinds were ❑eglectkd.
Malt was in good supply and heavy inquiry, on lower
terms.. Good sound Oats were scarce, and quite as dear.
The inferior kinds ruled heavy. Beans, Peas, Indian
Corn, and Flour were dull in the extreme.

Accounts from Rome, published in the re-actionary

are, under the Papal Government, as at present ad-

under the rule of MAzzim and the Republic. It is
admitted, on all handF, that the Papal rule is only
upheld by foreign bayonets, and that the Romans
would, if the foreign troops were rwl -- thdawn) at once

choicest and most complete sporting domains id theltingdoin, and

which may be extended to 4,000 or •,090 acres:
3,IESSRS. DANIEL SMITH and SON are
commissionel, unless previninly' disposed of by Private
Treaty, to SUBMIT to public COMPETITION, at the Mart,

on
The abeve most desirable and distingalshe I COUNTRY SEAT,
with manor and fine domain, embracing in a perfect ring fence,
nearly 2 500 .acres intersected by a flue stream, with a range of
valuable meadows, surrounding the elegant mansion of Clermont
Lodge, which has been greatly enlarged and improved within the
last few years. The house is very superior as to its arrangements
and elegant fittings, opening with south aspect to an Italian flower
garden, parterre, and terrace, and the park-like paddocks. The
offices are very complete for a large establishment, and the stables
are new: The gardens are well planned with ranges of hothouses,
connected by gravelled walks with the pleasure grounds. The farm
homes'eads are of a superior description;with cottages, keepers' and
ocher lodges, and the estatejudiciously divided into six capital farms,
and the whole estate richly belted and studded with luxuriant plan-
tations and woods full of game, and intersected by beautiful drives
and walks. The home demesne is laid out with great judimcnt and
taste, embracing a magnificent oak wood. The judicious openings
and beautiful formation of the clumps and groves, with the inter-
mixture of various kinds of trees and wild cover, afford a remark-
ably line contrast of light and shade, and cheerful scenery from the
house. The game preserves are considered ahnost unequalled. A
very 1 :rge outlay having been lately made on the house, offices, gar-
dens, and grounds. every part is in the highest order. and altogether
it will be found a most desirable and complete residential property,
and an excellent landed investment, with an opportunity now of
greatly extending the domain. It is about eight miles from Swat!.
ham and Brandon (where are railway stations), only one hoar's ride
from Norwich, and six fro:n town, and in the midst of a distin-
guished neigbourhood.
The estate may be viewed, and particulars, with plans, had on the

out with the view of rendering it an ornamental pleasure farm, with
plantations, ponds, and dri. es. Only about 40 or 50 acres are in cul-
tivation, the remainder (sheep walk and plantations) affording a very
improvable field for-any one disposed to secure his health by agree-
able country pursuits. It is near the village of Frimloy, and Farn-
borough Station, on the South-Western Railway, where there is a
branch to Reading and Reigate, only two miles from the College at

RUSSIA.

The S'. Petersburgh official journal of the 17th
contains a magniloquent account of a victory said to
have been obtained by the Russian General, BELGARD,
over the Lesginen tribe in the Caucasus. We are
inclined to doubt the truth of this statement, inas-
much as while General BELGARD states the Lesginen
loss to have been 320 killed, 600 wounded, and 87
prisoners, out of a force of 4,000 men, he declares his
own loss to have been two men killed, and nineteen
wounded ; he at the same time states that the Lesginens
occupied a position almost impregnable when he at-
tacked them; and yet he would have the world be-
lieve that he drove 4,000 men from an almost im-
pregnable position with a loss to himself of two killed
and nineteen wounded only.
Orders have been given for the Russian army in
Poland to advance along the Prussian frontier about
fifty miles.
London, England, 1850-08-29

GERMAN Y.

The King of Prussia has left Potsdam to inspect
the corps now concentrated in and around Teltow.
The members of the Provisional Council of Princes
were on the 26th instant most suddenly convoked to
meet Baron Radowi'z, who arrived from Potsdam
with a special message.
M. Van der Heidt, the Prussian Minister of
Trade, has now lost the support of the only inde-
pendent organ of public' opinion which hitherto sup-
ported part of his commercial policy. The Constitu •
tionnelle Zeitung has in its last numbers become a
convert to free trade.

The Journal des Debats publishes the following
letter from Vienna, of the 23d inst.:--
" On the 18th, the fete day of the Emperor, deplorable
excesses took place at Pesth, in Hungary. In the course
of the morning the attitude of certain groups appeared
rather thrt atoning, but they were not guilty of any acts
which could give the police a motive for interference.
In the evening. at the theatre, things assumed a different
appearance. While the first verses of the Austrian
national hymn were being sung by the actors, a group
of spectators in the centre of the pit, and
composei of persons apparently belonging to the
respectable class, began to protest by cries, whistling,
and threats. Their insulting vociferations were ad-
dressed to the high at persons of the State. To put
an end to the scene of tumult, the intervention
of the armed force was called for, and from

twenty to twentj -five persons were arrested.
Their social position, and the moment chosen by
them to promote disturbance, were an aggravation
of their fault, and there was, moreover, on their part a
complete want cf iolitical tact, if not of gratitude, in
bazarcing a shameful demonstration against the Empe-
ror immediately atter the numerous pardons so gene-
rously granted by him. The authorities of Pestb, in-
stead of understanding their duty in delivering up these
guilty men to justice, allowed themselves to be led away
either by the effect of indignation, or by misunderstood
zeal, to u'e means which nothiug
can excuse in a civi-
lised country, and to inflict summary punishment with-
out any form of trial. The most guilty of the parties
were immediately incorporated as private soldiers in a
regiment, and the others had the bastinado at plied to
them at the rate of 30 strokes each. Affairs do not
go on so well in Croatia as could have been wished. Na-
tional demonstrations are frequent, and, according to
ocular witnesses, the Ban Jellachich does net exert
himself sufficiently to repress them. You are aware that
the town of Fiume has already sent deputies to Vienna,
to demand that it may be detached from Croatia, and
united to the district of Fiume. This ides, which will
meet with many zmlous advocates, even in the Cabinet,
will probably be carried out. As to the Danish question,
assured that Austria will be definitively

in the !service, and brings forward men who are little
deservirg of it.
. .

Sir Francis Barint has shown tolerable discretion
in the first year of his administration, and only pro-
moted 12 captains against 20 removals, 32 common.:
ders against 36 removals, and 45 lieutenants against
107. 1 wish I could say he had been equally discreet
in his appointments.
When the minute was made there were, as I have
before stated, 858 captains, 918 commanders, and
3,550 lieutenants ; at the end of 1849 there remain
515 captains, 848 commanders, and 2.221 lietitenants,
being a reduction in 20 years of 343 captains, 70
commanders, and 1,329 lieutenants; but if we deduct
200 who were withdrawn at an expense of 30,0001.
from the captains' list, there has only been a reduc-
tion of 143. It is now proposed to keep up the
captains to 500, which is quite absurd; they ought to
be reduced to half that number, and all the corn-
, menders and lieutenants unfit for service should be
placed en a retired list, and the promotion of one to
two be confined to the removals from the active list.
Officers would then have a chance of being em-
ployed, and of keeping up the knowledge of their
profession, whereas, according to the present sys-
tem, it does not come to an officer's turn iu much
less than twenty years in the upper ranks ; and this
is our state when other nations are doing all they can
to give experience to their officers.
In the French service officers of a certain age are
obliged to retire, and those fit for service are almost
constantly employed. If this system is persevered in
at the beginning cf a war we shall find our officers
without experience opposed to officers who have been
in constant practice ; and it is not difficult to foresee
the result.

I❑ the navy estimates for 1850.51, the wages to
seamen and marines were 1,322,959/.; the half-pay
and pensions, civil and military, amount to 1,388,6371.,
being 65,6781. more than the wages of seamen and
marines afloat, and this after a peace of thirty-five
years ! I have had great difficulty in obtaining the
lists of promotions and removals, and I trust they are
correct ; if not, the Admiralty ca❑ very easily lay
before the HOME a correct statement, and the country
will see how far they have complied with their own
regulation.
I remain your obedient servant,

GERMANY.

A letter from Berlin of the 26th says :
" Mr. Von Sydow, in the sitting of the Provincial
Congress of the Princes of the Bund, presented three
new dispatches from the Austrian Government, viz :-
1. The invitation addressed to the Prus'ian Minister for
Foreign Affairs to send to Frankfort representatives to
a federal assembly charged with the functions of the
limited council of the Diet. 2 and 3.. The replies of
Austria to the propositions of Prussia on the subject of
Germany, and the passage of .the Baden troops within
the precincts of the fortress of Mayence, on their way
to Prussia."

,The Peace Congress was still sitting at Frankfort.
It was expected to break up on Wednesday or
Thursday.
The Assembly of Hesse Cassel met on the 233.
Deputy Bayrhoffer was elected president by a ma -
jority of 1, the votes being, for Bsyrhoffer, 23 ; and
for Schwarzenberg, 22. M. Coster was elected vice-
president by the same majority. Messrs. Reineeke
and Maurs were appointed secretaries to the House.
The committee on eh ctions consists of Messrs. Cos-
