TURKEY.

Constantinople letters of the 21st state that the
Minister of War was drawing up a measure for the
admission of rayahs, or non-Mussulman subjects of
Turkey into the army. Hitherto the conscription
has only been applicable to the Ottoman populations,
and so it is to continue, but the rayahs are to be ad-
mitted by voluntary enrolment into a special
battalion to be added to each regiment.
Relations with Austria had not been resumed ;
but the Porte had proposed to get rid of all
difficulties by adopting towards the refugee subjects
of Austria the same measure as had been applied to
those of Russia. The new Austrian Minister, M. DE
PROKESCII, W 61113, it was believed, consent thereto.
M. DE TITOFF, the Russian Minister, had caused some
surprise to the diplomatic corps by declaring that
Russia would not insist on defending Greece in the
affair with England. Prom this it was assumed that
she is desirous of avoiding dissension with England,
and of concentrating her action on
.Germany. It
was positively stated that Russia had not given
orders to her troops to leave the Danubian prin-
cipalities.

JAMAICA.

We have received by the Teviot full files of papers
and our correspondent's letter from Jamaica. Dates
extend to the afternoon of Sunday, the 10th of
March. The mails which left Southampton in the
Avon, on the 2d of February, did not reach Jamaica
before the 10th of March, in the Tay. The delay
was caused by bad weather experienced by the Avon
from Bermuda to Havannah.

The rains which had for some time been prevalent
throughout the island had almost entirely ceased,
and the country had become dry and generally
healthy.
The Northside Press notices the formation of an
agricultural association in the town of Falmouth.
The nature of the society will be gleaned from the
subjoined resolutions, passed at the first meeting of
its promoters :
" Resolved 1. That from the present depressed con-
dition of the agricultural and commercial interests, a de-
pression which it is scarcely possible can be remedied
by the existing institutions of the country, it is abso-
lutely necessary that some means should be adopted for
the purpose of enabling a portion of our unemployed
natives to obtain active employment.
" Resolved 2. That, in order to effect so desirable an
object, it has been found expedient to resort to means
other than those which are at present existing in the
agricultural portion of the island, and to organize an as-
sociation, having for its object the main principle of the
wealth and independence of all countries—the cultivation
of the minor products of the soil.
" Resolved 3. That the principles of this society be
based upon the axiom, that manual labour is not de-
grading but that it rather contributes to the greatness of
a country, and the independence of its citizens.
" Resolved 4. That, in the furtherance of the views
embraced in the three preceding resolutions, the present
association be formed, to be denominated the (to
be agreed on by a committee appointed for the purpose),
the rules for the guidance and regulati.o❑ of which shall
upon more minute investigation be foraied."
The various persons engaged in c otton cultivation
continued their operations with increased energy ;
and we notice some very successful experiments made
in the cultivation of rice, which is said to be almost
equal to Carolina.

It is impossible to form any opinion as to the pro-
bable result of the election ; as is usual in, all elec-
tions where it is impossible to ascertain the state of
the poll, both parties claim a majority.
M. CARLIER continues his crusade against the Re-
publican journals, and even extends his persecution to
the Charirari, for the purpose of promoting the sale
of the Corsaire, a Legitimatist would-be joker, in the
circulation of whose "ponderous levities" M. CAR-
LIER appears to take especial interest. The follow-
ing is the list of the journals the sale of which, except
within their own offices, and to regular subscribers,
is prohibited :

Evenement.
The Jesuit journals, the Legitimatist, Orleanist, and
Bonapartist organs: are alone permitted to be sold in
single numbers by newsvenders. There is• not one
of these journals so permitted to be sold by M. CAR-
LIER which is'hot avVwedly an enemy to the Republic,
which M. CARLIER has sworn to maintain. It is not

improbable bii that •3f. CARLIER may find—that he
has exposed himself to some awkward -prosecutions for
damages by his violent and, it would appear, illegal
proceedings in these matters. M. EwLE DE GI-
RARDIN, who is not of the most forgiving disposition
in the world, has taken the opinion of M. LANGLAIS,
one of the most eminent lawyers of France, and who
in political opinions belongs to the extreme section of
the reactionary party. The opinion of M. LANGLAIS
is published in the Presse, and it concludes in these
words : .

"Our opinion on these questions cannot, then, be
doubtful. The. evidence is conclusive that the sale of
newspapers, at newspaper effices and in shops is not pro-
hibited either by the laws affecting booksellers or by the
law of 1849. Colpolt ige (hawking) is alone subjected
to authorisation. Such is the manifest spirit of the law.
The police claims a right which is exorbitant, which has
never been before set up, and which is impossible. The
establishment of this arbitrary regime, which would put
its hand upon the sale of journals, in all its modes and
forms, ought to have for its warrant a formal text and a
special vote, and ought not to be done by surprise and
misunderstanding. Now not only has the Legislature not
given expressly the right to the police to interdict the
sale of journals within doors, but it has proclaimed in
formal terms, by organ of the reporter of the commis•
sion, that the 6th clause does not apply to the venders
a domicile.' What can be more clear? The right of the
proprietors of the press is, then, certain, and we confi-
dently think that such right will be confirmed by the
tribunals."

The Chamber of the States of Erfurth signified on

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The Hamburgh Borsenhalle has the following
from Copenhagen of the date of the 25th April :
" The Danish, Schleswig deputation left on the 23d
for Frederiksborg, where they were received very
graciously by his MAJESTY. After the audience they
accompanied his MAJESTY to view the principal parts
of the Palace, and afterwards had the honour of
dining with him."
The Landsthing decided, by 80 votes against 2,
the interpellation of Dr. PeuLsEN respecting the
Holstein deputation, which should take place that day
(24th). The substance of the interpellation was,
whether the Holstein deputies now here were com-
missioned by the Stadthalterschaft, or whether they
came in a private capacity ? and, secondly, whether
the Danish Government intended to enter into any ne-
gotiation with them ? The Ministerial President re-
plied, that the gentlemen who had arrived from
Holstein had declared in writing that they were not
delegates (udsendinge) of the Stadthalterschaft ; and
further, that they did not come with the mandate of
any authority or corporation in Holstein. It was of
course impossible for the Government to enter into
official negotiations with private persons ; but as the
Government felt justified in regarding the presence of
these men as a proof that not an inconsiderable num-
ber of his MAJESTY, s subjects, who were placed in so
unhappy a position as to him ( som ere komme til at
Staae i elalykkeligt Forhold til ham) cherished the
sincere desire to seek peace and reconciliation, the
Government could not take upon itself the responsi-
bility of refusing to listen to the attempt made to-
I wards an approximation, The Ministerial President

Mr. YARDLEY—The contract will prove when it

ment were handed to the Magistrate, who ascertained
that the articles were dated on the 17th of August,

Mr. Waddington—" I cannot go back to any slave-

short conversation with Mr. Pelham, and said "he
would not pay the wages up to the 20th of April, for
the man had not been regularly discharged ;" and the
solicitor said, " If he did not he would obtain a dis-
tress warrant and seize the ship." Mr. Waddington
then took up his papers, and as he was going away
said, " D—n it, I wish we were all slaves, seamen,
magistrates, and all."

peating these words of bis HOLINESS, which seem to
denote a foregone conclusion, and may possibly ex-
plain the meaning of the concentration of the Russian
troops in Poland, of the increase of the Austrian
army, and of the sudden activity of the French reac-
tionaries.

MEMBERS' OATHS.

Mr. WOOD asked the First Lord of the Treasury
whether it:was the intention of her Majesty's Government
to propose any measure, during the present session, with
reference to the oaths now administered to Members on
taking their seats in this House.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL had to say that it was the
intention of her Majesty's Government to introduce a
measure on that subject during the present session of
Parliament. He would take an opportunity, so soon as
public business admitted, of stating the precise nature of
the measure before it was introduced.
EVICTIONS IN IRELAND.

Mr. POULETT SCROPE asked the First Lord of
the Treasury, vhether he was:aware that a vast number
of ejectment decrees had been recently served on a
single estate in the county of Galway, whereby several
thousand persons are liable to be in one day forced from
their homes, and their houses levelled ; that in
that and several other counties of Ireland evictions
and house-levellings on a similar wholesale scale
have been for some time past, and are still going
on; and if the opinion of the law officers of the Crown
had been taken as to whether such depopulations,
whereby large bodies of her Majesty's subjects are at
once deprived of shelter and livelihood, and many (as
may be easily proved) of life, be not illegal, and a high
crime and misdemeanour by thel ancient common law of
the realm? '
Lord J. RUSSELL said he had so official information
respecting the number of evictions which had taken
place in Ireland, and he saw that- the Irish newspapers
which discussed this subjec', were very much at variance
both as to the extent of the evictions and as to the
persons who carried them into effect. It was certainly
not his intention to submit any case to the law officers
of the Crown on this subject—indeed he thought it
would be exceedingly difficult for theolaw officers to give
an opinion upon the point mentioned by the Honourable
Member.

DR. GARDNER'S WORM MEDICINE.
It is a melancholy fact that thousands are suffering the pri-
vation of health, and are ultimately brought to a premature death by
a case so prevalent as that of worms in the human body, and which
is so frequently overlooked. It is, therefore, of importance that
every person should be acquainted with the common symptoms of
worms, which are disagreeable odour of the breath, fevered tongue,
particularly heaviness or languid bluish appearance about the eyes,
swelling and paleness of the lip,, especially the upper lip, fre-
quent itching of the nose, an unequal state of the pulse, appetite
very irregular, and the bowels also, pale and emaciated countenance,
and at other times the face will be flushed, griping pains, a short,
cough, great thirst, vomiting, startings during sleep and grinding of
the teeth, frequent pains In the sides, listlessness, and want of in-
clination to take exercise, inflammation of the eyes, &c., &c. These
are same of the general symptoms of being afflicted with worms ;
adults as well as children are subject thereto. Youth or age may
with the utmost safety have recourse to this old established medicine,
which is adopted by numerous families. It is with this view that
the serious attention of all afflicted persons is directed to the symp-
toms thus described, which arc produced by worms, and to a trial of
this safe and effectual remedy, the value of which is corroborated by
numerous testimonials through a long period of years.
This medicine may be administered with confidence to children
or the most debilitated adult, without restraint in diet or confine-
ment. Its efficacy is also particularly beneficial as an alterative
medicine, insensibly removing all impurities of the blood, &c., and
promoting a healthful vigour to the whole system.

WOODS AND FORESTS.

Viscount DUNCAN wished to ask the First Lord of
the Treasury whether any one of the existing Commis-
sioners of Woods has applied for superannuation, and if
so, whether he las obtained it.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL was understood to reply, that
in one case it had been applied for. Mr. Mills had re-
tired on 1,5001. a-year (as we understood).
Lord DUNCAN had another question to put to the
Noble Lord. He wished to a,k whether it was intended
to appoint any one of the Existing Commissioner 3 of
Woods, Forests, Works, &c., to the office of Chief Com-
missioner of Woods, under the Bill now depending in
Parliament for the separation of the two departments?
Lord J. RUSSELL could not answer that question.

PETITION.

Lord LYTTELTON presented a petition praying for
a restoration of convocation; also a petition against any
alteration in the law which should authorise marriage
with a decea3ed wife's sister.

The Earl of HARROWBY presented several petitions
against the Sale of Beer Act, and against marriage with
a deceased wife's sister.

The Earl of GLENGALL presented a petition from
soma place in Ireland against Post-office Sunday labour.
The Earl of LANESBOROUGFI presented several
petitions against the national system of education in
Ireland, and praying for a grant to Church schools.

The Earl of YAiiBOROUGH presented several peti-
tions against Post-office Sunday labour._

FISHERIES IN SCOTLAND BILL.

The Marquis of ARGYLE introduced a Bill for re-
gulating the, fisheries in Scotland, which was read a first
tale.

IRISH POOR-LAW.

The Earl of LUCAN presented a petition, complaining
of the misconduct of the vice-gcardians of the union of
Mohill, and inquired whether the Government during
the present session proposed any amendment of the law
in respect of the appointment of vice guardians in Ire-
land. The Noble Rut went at great length into
details regarding the receipt and expenditure of the
union of Mohill for the purpose of supporting
the allegations of the petition, and denounced
the law as most arbitrary. He admitted that
the Lord-Lieutenant had done all in his power to check
abuse, but that was impossible, and ho therefore thought
the time had arrived for a revision of the law, and he
thought the Government ought to take the earliest op-
portunity in their power to alter it, and he asked the
Noble Marquis if it was their intention to introduce any
measure to alter the law! He moved that the petition
be referred to the Select Committee on the Irish Poor-
law.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE was not prepared to
state what were the intentions of her Majesty's Govern-
ment.

The Marquis of WESTMEATH expressed his regret
at the answer which the Noble Marquis had given to the
question of his Noble Friend.
The Earl of MOUNTCASHELL asked if it was the
intention cf the Government to permit the present state
of things to continue? If they did so intend, where was
the use of the Committee of the last year, which had
sat for four months? The Members of that Committee
had, it would appear, merely wasted their time. The
solvent people were all quitting the country.
TITLES OF RELIUIOUS CONGREGATIONS
(SCOTLAND) BILL.

ECCLESIASTICAL AFFAIRS:

Sir B. HALL, notwithstanding that it was the inten-
tion of Government to proceed with the Ecclesiastical
Commission Bill that eveuing, wished to put a ques-
tion to the Noble Lord, of which he had given
notice, on the subject of a rumour which had
recently gained ground iu the metropolis, and which he
hoped the Noble Lord would be able to inform him
was without toundation.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL begged pardon for inter-
rupting the Hon. Baronet, but ho begged to tell him
that he only received his note at two o'clock this of er-
noon. He immediately wrote off to obtain informa-
tion, but up to this time he had not received an
answer. Perhaps, therefore, the Hon. Baronet would be
good enough to put his question off till tomorrow.
Sir B. HALL had no objection to do so; and in the
meantime he begged to give notice that the question he
should put to-morrow would be to this effect:--There
was an office in the Prerogative Court of Canter-
bury, known as the Registrar, a sinecure valued
at 9,0001., to which the Archbishop of Canterbury had
the power of presenting a successor as the office became
vacant. One of the lives which had been nominated
became vacant during the time of the late Archbishop,
whiub the late primate had neglected to fill up, and the pre-
sent Archbishop had taken advantage of this omission to
fill up the vacancy. He should therefore ask the Noble
Lord, to-morrow, whether the Archbishop of Canter-
bury had not filled up the vacancy, by nominating Mr.
Sumner, a son of the Bishop of Winchester, to the office?

December, this decree of the Federal Assembly now'
becomes an obligatory law.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

The Hamburgh Borsenhalle has the following
from Copenhagen of the date of the 25th April :
"The Danish. Schleswig deputation left on the 23d
for Frederiksborg, where they were received very
graciously by his MAJESTY. After the audience they
accompanied his MAJESTY to view the principal parts
of the Palace, and afterwards bad the honour of
dining with him." • •
The Landsthing decided, by 80 votes against 2,
the interpellation of Dr. PAULSEN respecting the
Holstein deputation, which should take place that day
(24th). The substance of the interpellation was,
whether the Holstein deputies now here were com-
missioned by the Stadthalterschaft, or whether they
came in a private capacity ? and, secondly, whether
the Danish Government intendkd to enter into any ne-
gotiation with them ? The Ministerial President re-
plied, that the gentlemen who had arrived from
Holstein had declared in writing that they were not
delegates (udsendinie) of the Stadthalterschaft ; and
further, that they did not come with the mandate of
any authority or corporation in Holstein. It was of
course impossible for the Government to enter into
of negotiations with private persons ; but as the
Government felt justified in regarding the presence of
these men as a proof that not an inconsiderable num-
ber of his MAJESTY'S subjects, who were placed in so
unhappy a position as to him ( som ere homme til at
Staaeli elalykheligt Forhold til ham) cherished the
sincere desire to seek peace and reconciliation, the
Government could not take upon itself the responsi-
bility of refusing to listen to the attempt made to-
wards an approximation, The Ministerial President
